Chapter 1021: 318. Hullabaloo_2
Noland Lee transferred the knowledge of the Magic Circle to Nolin, instructing her how to disable the Magic Circle and remove the magic materials and Shadow Gems attached to it.
The two of them chatted about “cosmic noise” as they carried out their tense retreat.
While deconstructing the storage unit on “Synthetic Human DKP-15”, Noland obtained knowledge related to “cosmic noise.”
Within the Metal Creation Group, “cosmic noise” was recognized as a type of “cosmic microwave background radiation.”
And the term “cosmic microwave background radiation” was often associated with “ancient.”
The Metal Creation Group believed that “cosmic microwave background radiation” resulted from the universe’s initial big bang.
...
The “radiation” left over from that explosion still echoes throughout the universe to this day.
If one used the correct instrument to “record” these “radiations” and convert them into audio, one would then be able to hear the “beep-beep bup-bup” sounds of the universe.
But here’s the problem, what does cosmic noise have to do with “extraterrestrial space pollution” and the “Pollution Zone”?
Why would the ceremony for communicating with outer space broadcast cosmic noise?
Noland and Nolin discussed and came up with a conjecture on this issue:
The ceremony for communicating with outer space was not originally meant to spread cosmic noise.
However, when the operator of the ceremony increased its energy intensity and strengthened the connection with outer space, the cosmic noise, as “background noise,” inevitably got amplified as well.
To establish a Pollution Zone in the Inner Cosmos, the extraterrestrial space pollution needs the energy intensity of the ceremony to reach its peak.
This then led to the phenomenon where the intensity of the cosmic noise rose in sync with the energy intensity of the ceremony.
This conjecture was hard to prove.
Because there was no way to completely block out cosmic noise.
It was like an invisible, intangible ghost, existing within any device, creature, or item.
Like wizards such as Noland, in theory, they were always surrounded by cosmic noise.
It was only because this sound existed in the form of “microwave radiation,” which couldn’t be directly heard, that he remained oblivious to it in most situations.
Only when one got near something like a ceremony for communicating with outer space would normal people be able to hear cosmic noise.
After some academic discussion, Noland and Nolin temporarily accepted this conjecture.
The two swiftly packed up the Device Spirits and magic materials and started to distance themselves from the troubled City of Exiles.
Noland had considered asking Denise Green to come and take him away.
But after mulling it over for a few minutes, he rejected the idea.
Hadn’t Professor Erica said so?
In the past half-year, the Mass Wizard Tombs had not observed any extraterrestrial space pollution events.
Noland was curious to see if the cosmic noise that appeared in the City of Exiles this time could attract a Pollution Zone.
If given the chance, he would also like to deconstruct a Pollution Zone to understand its origins and instigators.
With this somewhat adventurous thought, Noland retreated hundreds of kilometers in one breath.
East of the City of Exiles lay the Stone Forest.
Beyond the Stone Forest to the east was the Evil Mist Swamp.
The Evil Mist Swamp was the domain of the Red-eyed Fairies.
The Red-eyed Fairies were evil flesh creatures, typically no more than 1.5 meters tall, with long, drooping noses, high foreheads, horns on their heads, and no clothing.
They had a taste for innards, enjoyed making specimen exhibits of prey stuffed with decaying matter.
They were adept at fermenting things like mushrooms, rotting flesh, and fats inside the hollowed innards of their prey.
The primitiveness and bloodiness of the Red-eyed Fairies would be unmistakably evident when there was no prey.
They would turn on each other, using the bodies of their kin as containers to produce fermented goods. noveldrama
This violent behavior resulted in an enduring stench of decay amidst the swamp’s poisonous fog.
Noland was not afraid of Red-eyed Fairies.
He had Nolin mobilize 50 Capacitor Package Device Spirits to bombard the ugly fairies with their eyes glowing red.
After nearly ten minutes of continuous bombardment, the Red-eyed Fairies within a 10-kilometer radius of the landing site had been cleared out.
By the time Noland finished constructing the new Temporary Base, the chaos within the City of Exiles was coming to an end.
Noland didn’t pay close attention to the specifics of the battle.
By the time he took a moment to observe the City of Exiles, the Upper and Lower Urban Areas were almost completely destroyed.
City Lord Solomon summoned another Dual-blade Demon Shadow.
With the help of the two Demon Shadows, he forcefully suppressed his two Deputy Mayors.
The Deputy Mayors were found by the Demon Shadows within the Urban Area and chopped into pieces.
After the Deputy Mayors’ fall, they transformed into Shadow Fragments and moved towards a secret Magic Circle set up outside the city.
They hoped to be reborn through the Magic Circles they had secretly placed, but their plans did not succeed.
In the Lower Town, Solomon had set up some kind of large Magic Circle.
Once this Magic Circle was activated, all the Shadow Fragments in the city had nowhere to escape.
The Shadow Fragments of the two Deputy Mayors became trapped and were sealed by Solomon using a Treasure Bead of Shadow Magic.
When Noland activated “Mind View,” he just happened to see Solomon holding the Magic Orb, flying towards the top level of the Upper City Area.
Without hesitation, Noland seized this fleeting opportunity to launch a Deconstruction Technique at City Lord Solomon.
Within 0.1 second of obtaining the degree of deconstruction, Noland closed his Magic Vision, not alerting Solomon’s mental awareness.
