Chapter 2170 Examination
The lid of the pod was transparent, so it was possible to see what was happening inside. A gray cloud emerged from everywhere in the pod, quickly gathering around Waremis and Hastian"s bodies. As the name suggested, those were nanotech machines, so it wasn"t possible to make them out with just the naked eye; thus, they looked like a gray cloud due to how many there were.
-Please do not resist the Nanomaniches.- The system sent its voice inside the pods. Hastian wouldn"t resist since he was unconscious. As for Waremis, he understood that stopping it would go against his objective, so he didn"t try it from the start.
The Nanomachines were able to enter through the skin and the several orifices on their bodies. With his Divine Sense, Waremis could tell that they went everywhere in his body, including his head. There was no pain or anything like that, but it definitely wasn"t a very comfortable sensation to know those things were moving inside.????????.???
Rean"s group observed from the outside, with Spiegel looking to be the most concerned. Still, he understood it would take some time, so he decided to make some things straight while they waited. "Rean, Roan, why are you helping me with this? Whether the Angels are being controlled or not is not your problem."
Rean shrugged his shoulders. "Why not? Your clan will owe me quite a big debt after this. Aren"t you angels very fond of your righteousness? I doubt you won"t help me in the future if the opportunity arises."
Spiegel narrowed his eyes. "We will indeed owe you a gigantic debt if it works. However, that doesn"t mean we will go against our values. If what you ask in the future crosses this line, then we won"t move."
Rean didn"t mind. "That"s to be expected."
"What about that fragment?" Sure enough, Spiegel finally asked the twins about the fragments.
Roan was the one to answer. "That is ours. You aren"t expecting us to hand it over, right?"
Spiegel scratched the back of his head. "It would definitely be a big help if you did. But then again, I wouldn"t give it over, either. Well, I guess it is okay to at least know where one of those fragments ended up."
Roan nodded before mentioning another issue. "There is no need to hide that we have it from the others, though. With the Vruves and that Demon Beast out, we will definitely become targets. Fortunately, neither Rean nor I are using our real forms. The Angel and Devil you see now will cease to exist in the future."
That reminded Rean of one thing. "Still, everyone outside saw how Roan and I were responsible for bringing Spiegel and Waremis inside, right? Won"t they go after their clan to find out where we are?"
Spiegel raised his hand in response. "There is no need to worry. Different from the Realm of G.o.ds or Underworld, no one will force Ancestor Waremis or me to say anything. The Heaven Realm"s actual state isn"t all that terrible. There are some advantages to this kind of mind control which prioritizes angels above everything else. As long as we say we didn"t know about you, they will simply believe it."
"That"s quite convenient," Rean and Roan had to admit. "But... what about that Archangel without a name? Wouldn"t he come after you? From what you told us, it doesn"t seem like he is being affected by this weird mind control. If anything, it is more like he is the one responsible for it. You won"t be able to do much if an Archangel comes after your clan."
Spiegel shrugged his shoulders. "I highly doubt that, but I can"t tell you why, as it involves some of our clan"s secrets."
The twins couldn"t care less. "As long as you are okay, there is no need to say anything. Everyone has their secrets, and we aren"t different."
Time pa.s.sed in a flash, and over two hours went by.
*Tremble...*
Suddenly, the room shook for a moment, catching everyone"s attention. "System, what happened?"
-The Dimensional Thrusters are being activated. Due to how damaged they are, some are not working properly, causing the shake users had just felt.-
"Is Tanxan already leaving?!" Rean quickly asked back.
-No. The process of full activation will take another three hours, according to the system"s prediction.-
Rean sighed in relief. "Then that"s okay."
Spiegel looked at Waremis in the pod, who seemed to be sleeping. Then he fell into deep thought before he finally decided to ask. "Rean, Roan, do you remember that Angel we met back when we were about to leave the Heaven Realm?"
The twins nodded. "We do."
"Is it possible to help him escape this s.p.a.ceship as well? He is an old friend of mine, even though he is also under the same curse as the others," Spiegel explained.
"This..." Rean didn"t really know. "That will depend on where he is at the moment. However, helping him would also put you in a difficult position, no? After all, it would be obvious that you have some way of using the s.p.a.ceship"s System. Since he is also under the same mind control effects, he will definitely report it to the Archangels."
Spiegel narrowed his eyes as he thought about it. "Can you check if he is at least alive?"
"That shouldn"t be a problem," Rean nodded. "System, I need you to find a certain angel." Rean then gave a description of the angel they met before.
-Searching...-
The system quickly accessed all available sensors in the ship that it had a connection to before finally answering.
-Target located.-
*Zum!*
Another holographic video appeared, this time showing the outside of the s.p.a.ceship. Different from the other angels, this one seemed to not have found Rean"s puppets and was still wandering outside, trying to find a way in. "Will he be okay if the ship tries to leave while he is outside?"
The system immediately answered. -Any living being within the perimeters of the ship will be affected by the Spatial Displacement. Survival is highly unlikely.-
Rean sighed in response. "In that case, system, open a door for him to get inside the ship."
-Request accepted.-
