Moreover, with "that person" around, he might not die.
Angel flew over twenty nautical miles further, reaching a point where he could see the 03’s figure above the sea wall.
The fruit’s attraction was also intensifying, but with the aid of the Domain Field, he could cope easily.
However, considering the attraction as a variable that would keep increasing with the fruit’s maturation, Angel dared not be careless.
Although he was still flying forward, his speed had slowed significantly. He calculated the rate at which attraction was increasing in his mind to avoid exceeding the average, which would result in losing control unexpectedly.
As Angel carefully probed onward, his figure also caught someone’s attention.
About ten nautical miles away from No. 03, far above the sky, Polo Ye seemed to sense something and turned to look.
Polo Ye’s sapphire-like, angular eyes reflected Angel’s figure.
"Lord of the City, it seems that interesting little fellow you mentioned earlier has also come over," Polo Ye chuckled softly. "Shuro shuro, I think I’m beginning to understand why you said he’s interesting."
Angel was keenly aware of the dangers here, yet he returned regardless, which shows great courage. Unfortunately, no matter how courageous he is, he will still be trapped in a rhythm of disorder, unable to extricate himself, when faced with unreasonable and illogical mysterious objects.
"Ignore him." The Divine Thought hiding within Polo Ye’s body said indifferently, a newly elevated Official Wizard is no different than those swimming sea beasts in the ocean—they cannot affect the big picture.
"You mentioned earlier that he bears the traces of that world’s power. Shuro~ Is his arrival a dispatch from that world?"
"No." Once again, a concise answer.
"Shuro?" Why?
"Because, that place itself represents... disorder."
A world that inherently symbolizes disorder, would it continue to pursue disorder? The answer is ambiguous, but at the very least, Gluz Deward has never heard of any life from that world participating in a contest of disorder. On the contrary, many transcendent beings have fallen into the rhythm of disorder within that world.
"Shuro..." This answer was something Polo Ye hadn’t considered before. It couldn’t help but swallow nervously, feeling its eight tentacles subtly growing cold.
"Lucky, lucky that the creatures of that world aren’t coming, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable."
Polo Ye mused silently, preparing to shift its attention away from Angel. But suddenly, it paused, thinking of something: "By the way, I faintly smelled Shiz’s scent on that little fellow just now."
"It’s the shell of Shiz’s larva, No. 01 has it. It should be what he got from No. 01." Gluz Deward remarked.
"No need to capture him?"
"No need, I can feel that besides that shell, the Shiz larva’s fate hasn’t much intertwined with that person."
This also explains that Angel didn’t get the shell directly from Shiz, but indirectly from someone else. Otherwise, Angel and the Shiz larva’s fate would be deeply entangled.
Because of this judgment, Gluz Deward immediately thought of No. 01.
"Shuro~" Alright.
Despite this, Polo Ye’s interest in Angel remained significant because this was the first human with such weak power that Polo Ye has encountered who nevertheless obtained the power of that world.
There’s no need to deal with Angel, but perhaps the Shiz larva could handle it. After all, possessing the shell of the Shiz larva creates a connection. Once the Shiz larva successfully undergoes nirvana, and if it remains unresolved, it will actively seek out Angel.
Of course, all of this hinges on whether Angel survives the chaos of disorderly rhythm.
"Shuro, foolish human, do you know that person?"
Polo Ye asked No. 01 beside him.
At this time, No. 01 appeared unbound, yet he remained motionless, his expression stiff like a mechanical robot.
For Polo Ye to deal with No. 01 was nothing but child’s play, however, instead of killing him, it captured him.
"Shuro? Almost forgot, I didn’t lift your language seal." Polo Ye pretended to be cute, sticking out his little pink tongue, which then instantly turned from "cute" to "violent".
Its tentacles transformed into a swift shadow, fiercely striking No. 01’s face.
No. 01’s face was struck, gouged open, and was left bloody and toothless.
"Now you can speak, human."
As No. 01 felt able to move his tongue, he didn’t immediately answer Polo Ye’s question. Instead, he lifted what remained of his teeth and sharply bit into his tongue root.
"Biting your tongue will not kill you, but the pain is unbearable. So, you intend to die from pain? Do you think I’d let you die from pain?"
No. 01 stopped biting and fixed his bloodshot eyes on Polo Ye.
"Kill me, kill me!"
"Your wish to die is just a ploy to escape to Quest World during the connection phase~ Shuro~ Not gonna happen, yo."
Polo Ye let out "shuro shuro" laughter, a sound originally innocent, yet to No. 01, it sounded like a demon’s death knell.
"However, if you obediently follow my words, I might show you some leniency~ Shuro~"
No. 01 contemplated and evaluated the current situation. Eventually, he discarded his facade of insanity, shifting his focus to Polo Ye’s front, where a floating image in mid-air was displaying Angel’s appearance.
No. 01: "He’s sent by the Lacey Association to provide support."
Polo Ye chuckled, "You think I’d believe that."
No. 01: "Then what is it you want to know?"
Without hesitation, Polo Ye swung out its tentacles again, battering No. 01’s other half of face beyond recognition: "You should address me as the great Polo Ye, Master. And you shouldn’t deceive me."
"Heh."
"You’re dissatisfied? That’s fine, shuro~ If you dare defy me again, I will shred your soul to pieces."
No. 01 fell silent.
"I’ll give you another chance, who is he?"
No. 01: "... I don’t know him. All I know is, he broke into the lab before."
Polo Ye stared intensely at No. 01. It could discern that No. 01 wasn’t lying; he genuinely didn’t know the little fellow.
Hence, the Shiz larva shell likely was snatched from the laboratory.
Regarding how the shell ended up with Angel, Polo Ye wasn’t overly concerned. However, since No. 01 mentioned he had sneaked into the lab before.
Perhaps, Deep Space knows who he is?
While Polo Ye investigated Angel’s identity, nearby, a white-haired Observer also noticed Angel’s arrival.
