Chapter 444: 150. Cursed Angel_3
Translator: 549690339
A secret ritual for communicating with extraterrestrial space pollution was born.
And the ultimate product of this ceremony was the creature with big black eyes in front of Noland Lee.
After the ancient alchemists obtained this creature from the ritual, they wished to combine it with a “flesh cultivation device” using an alchemy array but were met with resistance from the creature.
The “flesh cultivation device” then turned into the current “Heart of the Aberration Nest,” and the original physical body cultivated by this device morphed into the present-day aberrations.
“Denise…” Noland Lee called out to his companion witch for the third time in his mind.
“Here,” Denise’s voice was still gentle, showing no signs of impatience.
“Can you help me check if there were any invasions of extraterrestrial space pollution in the history of the Golden Dynasty?”
“Sure. I’ll ask the Professor.”
Noland Lee received an answer after waiting for three minutes.
“There was one event of extraterrestrial space pollution invasion in the history of the Golden Dynasty. That event took place 90 years ago, coinciding with the decline of the Golden Dynasty. The royal family of the Golden Dynasty rejected the intervention request of the Ulnas Circle. After Ulnas Circle closed the extraterrestrial space channels on the Star Filtering Net, they left the Golden Dynasty to handle the remaining ground-level pollution themselves.”
Denise asked with confusion:
“Do you think this extraterrestrial space pollution event caused the subsequent aberration catastrophe?”
Noland Lee responded:
“Hmm… I do have such a guess. When this pollution event happened, was there a magic research institute set up by the Ulnas Circle in the Golden Dynasty?”
“No. Approximately 210 years ago, the Golden Dynasty expelled the magic research institute that was studying alchemy weaponry. Since then, there have been no legal wizards in the Golden Dynasty. It wasn’t until 10 years ago that Elemental Judgement moved into Union City and established the second magic research institute here.”
Noland Lee asked:
“Does Ulnas Circle know what the contaminant byproduct of the pollution event was?”
“I’m not sure. The Star Filtering Net can only observe the extraterrestrial space from the outside and cannot see what’s happening on the ground. The Golden Dynasty did not provide details to Ulnas Circle, only mentioning that the extraterrestrial space pollution had been cleared.”
“Alright, I understand now. You go back to your reading. I’ve figured out what’s going on.”
Without asking any further, Denise cut off the connection of her soul after repeatedly reminding Noland Lee to be careful.
Noland Lee took a slow breath, facing the Cursed Angel in front of him.
The other party was still writing down their encounters and conflicts with the “Nest Core.”
Noland Lee used Deconstruction to record the content in his mind, memorizing it all in half a second.
Countless hidden historical truths of the Alchemy Cathedral resurfaced.
Simply put, the Golden Dynasty did not know what they could gain from the ritual for communicating with extraterrestrial space.
For this, they prepared many containers to receive extraterrestrial space pollutants. These containers included alchemy arrays, alchemy devices, alchemists wearing alchemy weaponry, and even virgin boys and girls, strong men, chicken eggs, duck eggs, cats, and dogs.
After the ritual successfully took effect, the indescribable extraterrestrial space pollution chose a little girl as the vessel for its will.
This girl was the predecessor of the contaminant byproduct in front of Noland Lee.
The Golden Dynasty immediately sealed her in a sealing space constructed by an alchemy array. This sealing space was codenamed “Eternal” and corresponded to the alchemy symbol “الخلود.”
From then on, as long as one added the alchemy symbol “الخلود” to the alchemy array used to refine the Eternal body, one could communicate with the extraterrestrial space pollution sealed in the space, extract its power, and incorporate it into the alchemy array.
In the girl’s eyes, this process of extracting energy was perceived as someone bullying her.
In her words:
The sealing space that held her was a vast white void about 10 cubic meters in size.
Whenever the lights in the sealing space alternated, she could feel a force tearing at her, and the scene of refining the Eternal body would appear before her eyes.
She hated this feeling and resisted it.
Her resistance set off the extraordinary ability bestowed upon her by extraterrestrial space pollution – the curse.
The power of the curse flowed through the array and entered the living materials, which then transformed into aberrations.
The alchemists controlling the alchemy array did not know why. The girl also did not understand the extraordinary power she possessed.
No one knew the origin of the extraterrestrial space creature that initially responded to the summoning ritual of the Golden Dynasty.
It was also completely unclear whether this extraterrestrial space creature was an individual entity or comprised a collective of extraterrestrial void forces.
In the absence of any knowledge of the truth, one failed alchemy experiment after another took place. Batch after batch of aberrations appeared in the Golden Dynasty’s land due to the alchemists’ greed and blindness, ultimately resulting in the catastrophe of aberrations that brought down the entire dynasty.
Today, under the operation of the Alchemy Cathedral, the contaminated girl, the cursed Heart of the Aberration Nest, and the alchemist faction with huge demand for all-purpose metal powder have formed a stable equilibrium.
This equilibrium is bound to break someday.
And that day will arrive soon.
The appearance of the contaminated girl in front of Noland Lee serves as a prime example.
