“Hmm? What is this thing?”
Noland Lee looked at the meaty eye staring at him and thought to himself:
“Could it be the leader of this pollution zone?”
Noland Lee checked his Personal Panel.
None of the shield strengths for the three shield magic were abnormal.
The unchanged strength of the “Magic Shield” indicated that he had not been attacked on a physical level.
The unchanged strength of the “Mental Shield” showed that the alien space noise was completely blocked by the soul shield, and no mental level attack targeted him.
The resistance count of the “Soul Shield” steadily decreased. The System predicted that casting a “Soul Shield” could help him resist extraterrestrial space noise for about 55 seconds. This is the effect of the 100-level “Soul Shield.” The original 70-level shield could only resist 20 to 40 seconds.
All three shield magics worked normally, and their durations had not shortened.
This meant that the meaty eye was merely staring at Noland Lee without attacking.
So what did it want to do?
After a brief hesitation, Noland Lee entered a state of high alert, recalling something Denise Green had mentioned.
Most of the extraterrestrial space pollution encountered by the Star Witches was filled with madness and destruction.
A very small portion of extraterrestrial space pollution was rational. Of course, being rational does not mean they are on the side of justice.
If the mad extraterrestrial space pollution belonged to the Chaos Evil Faction, then the rational extraterrestrial space pollution belonged to the Orderly Evil Faction.
Chaotic Evil pollution would release its malice recklessly, destroying everything it encountered at any cost. Infighting among them also occurred from time to time.
Orderly Evil pollution was quite different. They would calculate their input and output like shrewd businessmen, ensuring that each act of evil made a profit. Such extraterrestrial space pollution was far more terrifying than Chaotic Evil pollution. It would use beautiful illusions and lies of kindness to deceive the enemy, then seize the opportunity to strangle them with minimal cost.
This Star Cluster-level extraterrestrial space pollution, known as the “Blood Sun Seal,” was likely from the Orderly Evil Faction.
The fact that the three magic shields were not attacked was just one reason for Noland Lee’s judgment.
Another reason was the “Hatred Value” on the “Resurrection Magic Potential.”
Noland Lee keenly noticed that when he had helped Mabel and others before, the “Hatred Value” had risen significantly, reaching more than 25,000 points.
But when he had exterminated all the monsters surrounding Mabel and the others, the “Hatred Value” unexpectedly decreased by more than 3,000 points, making it an exact 22,000.
How could this be explained?
Considering the meaty eye that didn’t show any intention of attack, Noland Lee came to a bizarre conclusion.
This space pollution known as “Blood Sun Seal” had a unique personality and ideas. To put it nicely, it was trying to weigh the situation. To put it bluntly, it was acting tough towards the weak and soft towards the strong.
After the Outer Space Gap on the Star Filtering Net was closed, the extraterrestrial space pollution products trapped on Ground Level became isolated and helpless.
As the leader of these pollution products, the meaty eye had quickly and decisively acknowledged its weakness upon realizing that its subordinates could not defeat Noland Lee.
It did not show any intention to attack and even took the initiative to reduce its hostility towards Noland Lee, indicating that it had other plans.
Noland Lee narrowed his eyes, knowing what the meaty eye wanted to do.
Most likely, after assessing the pros and cons, it felt that fighting against Noland Lee was a losing battle, so it wanted to negotiate with him and see if there were other options.
It was the same as raising a white flag and surrendering.
They say that surrendering is half the battle lost.
This unwritten rule applied between wizards and rational extraterrestrial space pollution as well.
Moreover, such cases had happened more than once in the history of contact between wizards and this type of pollution.
When Noland Lee had heard Denise Green tell these stories, he felt surprised and remembered them very clearly.
Who would have thought that such an event would happen to him… After pondering for a bit, Noland Lee did not take the initiative to contact the meaty eye.
After giving it an indifferent glance, he turned his head and flew overhead to find Mabel, who was sorting through the belongings of the fallen wizards.
Noland Lee got straight to the point:
“Madam, please come with me. It seems that the leader of this pollution zone is a rational extraterrestrial space pollution.”
“Oh? Really?” Mabel looked very complicated, surprised and vigilant with a touch of joy:
“This is an unexpected gain. Much of the extraterrestrial space knowledge recorded in the Mass Wizard Tombs was obtained from rational extraterrestrial space pollution. But we shouldn’t let our guard down. Many incidents of extraterrestrial space pollution reneging on deals during negotiations have occurred before. We still need to further confirm the intentions of this extraterrestrial space pollution.”
Mabel looked up at the battlefield above:
“Look, the fighting above has stopped. The winged Titans who were fighting the Combat Alchemists are all motionless.”
Noland Lee looked up.
Indeed.
The Polluted Angels stood foolishly in place, no longer attacking, as if they were obedient elementary students waiting for punishment.
All the Combat Alchemists on the scene sensed something was wrong. Under the commander’s orders, everyone held their positions and maintained the encirclement without any relaxation.
