Chapter 1407: 465. Siege Crisis
The Demon God Cell, though named with the word “cell,” sounds similar to ordinary cells; however, here the term “cell” is used more figuratively.
What structures do normal cells have?
Cell walls, cell membranes, cytoplasm, and nuclei, among others.
The appearance and structure of the Demon God Cell are similar to a normal cell, except its “cell wall” and other structures belong to an extraordinary domain, not the biological realm.
The “cell wall” of the Demon God Cell is a barrier of spiritual power formed by the thoughts of the Demon God, intended to intimidate external targets and protect other substances within the cell.
The “cell membrane” of the Demon God Cell consists of dense flesh constructs, responsible for transporting nutrients to other structures within the cell.
...
The “cytoplasm” of the Demon God Cell is a nutrient solution mixed with the thoughts of the Demon God.
External food ingredients—such as life creatures and drugs—brought to the cell by the cell membrane are transformed into nutrient solutions by the nucleus and then stored, thus providing an energy reserve necessary for the Demon God’s battle.
Absorbing food ingredients—processing them—producing nutrient solution—storing the nutrient solution—providing wartime energy reserve; this is the function of the Demon God Cell.
Devouring Demon God Cells involves forcefully plundering nutrients from within the cells.
The crucial step lies in removing the spiritual pollution attached to the Demon God Cells; otherwise, devouring the cells would lead to mental disorder.
Command’s provided method for devouring uses prime-aged stars as kilns, employing a three-month baking period to remove the spiritual pollution of the Demon God Cells.
The difficulty of this method lies in controlling the fire.
If underbaked, the pollution will not be completely removed.
If overbaked, even by just a little, the nutrient solution unprotected by the cell wall would evaporate under the sunlight, rendering the past three months of baking futile.
Therefore, rather than calling the “Method of Devouring Demon God Cells” a cultivation technique, it’s more akin to a “culinary instruction manual.”
Command listed numerous cases of measuring the pollution concentration in Demon God Cells, analyzing one by one how much heat from which stars and for how long should be used, depending on the concentration of pollution.
It is evident that this Plane Core, through players, has made some achievements in baking the Demon God Cells.
While handing over the devouring method to Noland Lee, it also gave him a Demon God Cell as a bonus.
Whenever Noland decided to try it himself, he could always ask for it.
Apart from this gifted Demon God Cell, any other Demon God Cells needed by Noland in the future would have to be procured by him independently.
Command made a suggestion.
That suggestion was to cooperate with the United Bureau to confront the Dark Divine Cult, after dealing with the Angel Enterprises Alliance.
The Angel Enterprises Alliance was more than 3000 years away from the territory of the United Bureau, who were reluctant to confront such a physically distant enemy.
But regarding the Dark Divine Cult, the United Bureau’s attitude was completely different.
The cult’s main camp was right next to the territory of the United Bureau, often causing them trouble.
As long as Noland agreed to give players more casting permissions, thus strengthening the power of the United Bureau, a cleansing operation aimed at the Dark Divine Cult would likely form quickly.
Noland thought it made sense.
Disrupting the Metal Creation Group wasn’t something the players could join in on—because, in the eyes of the players and the United Bureau, the Metal Creation Group was seen as a mostly positive actor.
Therefore, for all actions targeting the headquarters of the Metal Creation Group, Noland planned to rely mainly on himself and the Assassin Angel, bringing only a few players to assist.
With this in mind, the players could utilize the time Noland was dealing with the headquarters of the Metal Creation Group to address the Dark Divine Cult.
This way, everyone had tasks; nobody was idle, fostering simultaneous development on two fronts.
Noland immediately reached a verbal agreement with Command to confront the Dark Divine Cult in the future.
After handling these details, Noland returned to the main issue.
At this point, the Angel’s Voice Space Station had entered an intense phase of battle.
Both sides were fighting within the space station, repetitively pulling each other through the complex corridors.
If no external forces intervened, this battle wouldn’t end anytime soon.
Noland opened up Magic Vision for the Cucumber Slice, Winter Melon, and Kelp, among others.
These players who joined the Angel Enterprises Alliance were now gathering near the stargate closest to the Angel’s Voice Space Station.
Under the commander’s leadership, while the enemy was focused on the space station, they were preparing to launch a surprise attack on the enemy’s secondary stargate, cutting off the enemy’s reinforcements.
Seeing this, Noland immediately issued a pre-prepared emergency Task to Cucumber Slice and others.
The Task was named “Journey of Deviation.”
Players who accepted this Task had two choices. noveldrama
The first choice:
Inform the players about the impending attack by the fleet of the Angel Enterprises Alliance on the players’ secondary stargate and assist them in countering the fleet of the Angel Enterprises Alliance.
If they chose this option, they could return to the United Bureau in the glory of a covert agent, ending their undercover years within the Angel Enterprises Alliance once the battle was over.
The second choice:
Continue cooperating with the fleet of the Angel Enterprises Alliance to complete the attack on the secondary stargate.
If this option was chosen, the players’ affiliations would be permanently tied to the Angel Enterprises Alliance, making it impossible to return to the United Bureau’s side or to join the Black Hole Magic Academy.
Once this Task was issued, including all the players in the Angel Enterprises Alliance instantly received the mission alert.
