Chapter 1146

Even if the soul is worn away, the will will still not perish...

After listening to Director Taurus's answer, Li Ang was silent for a moment, then asked:

"So if the royal families of the Twelve Kingdoms are controlled or even killed, it is equivalent to erasing the anchor points left by those predecessor Palace Sitters. And after losing the blessing of the will of those predecessor Palace Sitters, the Watchtower Palace will also be weakened?"

"Yes, but rather than weakened, it should actually be said to be returning to its original appearance."

Director Taurus sighed:

"At the beginning, the predecessors who manufactured the Watchtower Palace only hoped that when existences at the 'Pillar God' level descended, they could obtain news in advance and slightly block the other party, trying to push the battlefield to a position far away from the world."

"After all, the destructive power of an existence at the Pillar God level is really amazing. Olivia relies on the blessing of the Star Palace to barely touch the lower limit of this level. When she goes all out, she can smash the entire Capital in just a few minutes. This kind of battle must never break out in the world."

"But the predecessors didn't expect that with the dedication of generation after generation of Palace Sitters, the power of the Watchtower Palace would constantly increase, and the protection of the world would become more and more thorough, far exceeding their original design goals."

"After the ninth Palace Sitter appeared, existences at the True God level could no longer enter. Now even the relatively weak Holy Spirits who want to descend must have a large number of human believers praying in advance, borrowing the will of humans to open the way from the inside, before they can briefly break through the protection of the Watchtower Palace and open a temporary passage."

So that's how it is...

After listening to Director Taurus's words, a look of realization appeared in Li Ang's eyes.

Simply put, the initial version of Watchtower Palace 1.0 could only block existences with an infiltration value of 70, but after the sacrifices of generation after generation of Palace Sitters, the increasingly powerful Watchtower Palace n. 0 already had enough spare power. Now even Holy Spirits with an infiltration value of 50 couldn't get in.

And the goal of the organization that Water Bottle joined was to destroy the anchor points left by the predecessor Palace Sitters, causing the Watchtower Palace to lose the blessing of the predecessors' will and return to the initial 1.0 version, allowing True Gods to come and go freely.

"In short, the royal families of the Twelve Kingdoms cannot afford to lose."

After explaining the reasons, Director Taurus said with a solemn expression:

"Olivia, don't get involved in the matter of that organization for now. The manpower of your Virgo Branch has always been insufficient, and your ability is not suitable for protecting targets. Once you are far away, it is easy to fail to react."

"I will find other branches to investigate the situation of the Incarnate Doe and that Artificer 01. From now on, you must stay in the Capital to guard and ensure that nothing goes wrong here."

"I understand."

Hearing Director Taurus's words, the red-haired Director nodded solemnly, but after thinking for a while, she took the initiative to ask:

"Director Taurus, do you remember that there is a Level 1 cleaner with broken hands in the Gemini Branch?"

"Nicole? Isn't she the adopted daughter of Director Water Bottle, who betrayed the Bureau with him?"

"This... the situation is a bit complicated, but Li Ang and I have judged that she can be trusted, so we temporarily hung her under my side."

The red-haired Director suggested:

"Nicole has stayed in the Kingdom of Kroke for nearly twenty years and has always been a member of the Gemini Branch before. She knows the situation there best, so I think she should also join in when investigating that side."

"So that's how it is..."

Director Taurus pondered slightly upon hearing this, then decisively made a decision:

"Since you think she can be trusted, then let her go too!"

"However, according to my understanding of Director Sagittarius, the task of exploring the Kingdom of Kroke will most likely be handed over to the Scorpio Branch. But you have always had conflicts with that side, so it's best to send someone who can ease the relationship together."

Someone who can ease the relationship? Who? Under the red-haired Director's surprised expression, Director Taurus in the Celestial Sphere Mirror turned to look at Li Ang and asked:

"Li Ang, are you willing to join this investigation task?"

"Me?"

"Yes, it's you."

Looking at Li Ang, who had a somewhat confused expression, Director Taurus said with a little apology:

"I know this task is a bit dangerous, but you are indeed the best candidate."

"When the Nightmare King descended last time, you and Edward fought side by side. Although he had some criticisms about your madness... about your choice afterwards, but looking at the report he submitted later, he still appreciates you quite a bit."

"Besides, since you judged that Nicole can be trusted, it proves that you should be relatively familiar with each other. And you can forcibly obtain a large amount of hidden information through touch, which is exactly what this exploration task needs most."

"Director Taurus, I think this is inappropriate!"

Hearing this, the red-haired Director frowned and couldn't help but protest:

"Although it's not clear what's going on with that Artificer 01, since the entire Gemini Branch is controlled, it must not be easy to deal with. Li Ang is just an ordinary Level 3 cleaner, isn't it inappropriate to join a task of this level?"

"..."

Hearing the red-haired Director's words, the corners of Director Taurus's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

I admit that this task does have great danger, but... an ordinary Level 3 cleaner? Before you say this, can you look at his resume that can be called crazy? Who is a Level 3 cleaner who dares to eat a True God alive?

'Director.'

After secretly poking the red-haired Director's back, Li Ang communicated through soul:

'Why don't I go? Director Taurus is right, this task I...'

'Shh!'

"Director Taurus, Li Ang is really not suitable for this task."

After secretly glaring at Li Ang, the red-haired Director sighed gloomily and said with difficulty:

"Logically speaking, we shouldn't refuse this kind of thing, but the Kingdom of Kroke is too far away. The immortality that Li Ang relies on cannot take effect, which is equivalent to losing his means of saving his life. Not to mention that the anomalous objects in his hands have also lost a lot recently..."

"Do you know? The Holy Spirit pendant you gave Li Ang has been destroyed by the Goddess of Wealth. The new anomalous objects I helped him find later were temporarily lent to the Snow Girl to save her life, and even the broom I got for him from Beverly was broken into two pieces."

"You say, with Li Ang's current situation, you let him follow that bastard Edward to perform tasks in such a dangerous place, isn't this taking his life?"

"..."

So you are trying to ask for some benefits for him...

After glaring at the red-haired Director speechlessly, Director Taurus said with a dark face:

"If you want something, just say it directly. Don't play tricks with me! Tell me! What did you take a fancy to this time?"

"I didn't take a fancy to anything."

The red-haired Director blinked and said with a smile:

"I just thought, can you discuss with Director Sagittarius to temporarily lift the blockade on the 【Wish Roulette】 and send it over for Li Ang to use once?"
