Chapter 663: Chapter 303 ’Whoever Bears the Angel’s Power, Ultimately Becomes the Angel’s Illusion

"Shell"...?"

"Vessel, do you understand now?" Boss looked deeply into his eyes, "’Whoever embraces the Angel’s Power, ultimately becomes an Angel’s Illusion.’"

"’Whoever embraces the Angel’s Power, ultimately becomes an Angel’s Illusion’..." Lin Yi murmured as his intuition told him that there surely was a "Cautions" version of this statement.

"That’s not right Boss, did you see that Rage Angel that was chasing after me?" Lin Yi suddenly slapped his forehead, surprised.

"The commotion you caused was too big, it was hard not to notice." Boss casually said, "Moreover, seeing a Rage Angel... isn’t really a problem."

"Oh... then what does ’shell’ mean, is it like a game account? The Rage Angel can log in, and what Teacher destroyed was just its ’account’?"

"’Game account’?" Boss looked puzzled, "What’s that?"

"Uh..." Lin Yi was startled, not anticipating that Boss had never touched games, an involuntary respect rose in his heart, "You mean it’s very ethereal by nature, and when needed, it would enter another... person or something else’s body, and then that thing becomes ’Rage Angel’, is that it?"

Boss nodded upon hearing this: "That understanding is possible."

"Each Angel Sculpture has its characteristic traits. After a Rage Angel is born, it possesses an Origin. Every time it acts, it will first hide a small part of its Origin in a safe place, and then control a Fake Body to take action."

"For instance, if it leaves thirty percent of its Origin, then the Fake Body has seventy percent of the Origin. If the Fake Body gets killed, seven percent of the Origin is lost, but the remaining three percent still allows it to Regenerate, and through a period of accumulation, it can recover back to full capacity."

"Like this brazen Rage Angel that stormed into the Gymnasium, there must be some audacity behind it. I suppose that the Fake Body of the Rage Angel chasing you contained less than twenty percent of its Origin; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been instantly taken down by the Teacher."

"Rage Angel... so that’s how it is." Lin Yi muttered, "Then, to kill it, wouldn’t we need to totally wipe out its Origin?"

"Exactly."

"What if it divides its Origin into several parts, turning each into a Rage Angel acting separately, wouldn’t that be formidable?"

Boss glanced at him: "The total amount remains the same; dividing makes it easier to be defeated one by one. Besides, some creatures can trace the rest of its parts through some of its Origin... In any case, this isn’t what you should be concerned about."

"Boss, why don’t you tell me more about the Sneering Angel and Alien Angel, considering I am their coveted... ah no, their desired prey."

"We can talk about that later; go swim for a while first." Boss patted his hand resting on the edge of the pool, "Go swim on your own, I don’t need to throw you in again, right?"

Lin Yi consciously let go of his hand and silently swam towards the distance.

"Go check on him, don’t let him swim to the deep end." Boss glanced at Lin Yi’s back that surfaced from time to time, feeling a little obsessive-compulsive, and was tempted to push him down.

"Oh, sure!" Li Huiyuan responded and swam over swiftly.

Lin Yi, swimming ahead, suddenly felt waves behind him; turning around, he saw Li Huiyuan catching up quickly and soon hovering not far beside him.

"Just swim a bit further and you can return, Boss said not to go to the deep end."

"Deep end?" Lin Yi paused slightly, "I almost forgot, it seems like I’ve always been in the shallow end?"

"You know that!" Li Huiyuan pouted, her flushed face now back to normal, unable to restrain herself from saying, "What was going on with you earlier? How could you sink in the shallow end? You even saw the Abyss... Sometimes you seem very normal, and sometimes weirder than I was yesterday."

"Do you mean... I sank to the bottom of the shallow end?" Lin Yi paid no heed to Li Huiyuan’s complaints, only catching the key point of "sinking to the bottom."

Li Huiyuan said: "Yes, you were swimming and suddenly it’s like you shut down, then you just sank, I saw your state, completely motionless, it didn’t look like a leg cramp to me!"

"After that, I swam over to call you."

"Speaking of which, it’s ridiculous; the shallow end is only so deep, even if you were close to the deep end within the shallow area, tipping your toes should be enough to keep your face above the water, right? Such a big person and still able to sink..."

Lin Yi didn’t intend to be evasive; experiencing Phantom Vision... he had gotten used to it, and from Li Huiyuan’s reaction, it must have been just a Phantom, not dropping Layers.

Dropping Layers is very straightforward, like the first time he came to the Gymnasium, walking along the road and seeing some people disappear mid-walk, that was dropping Layers, gone onto that nonexistent street.

If it were dropping Layers, there would also be physical space changes, such as disappearing.

In the case of Phantom Vision, the person is still there, some mental issues occur, but the "physical body" is still in the original place, for instance... turning into a vegetative state.

Lin Yi glanced in the direction of the deep end.

Between the shallow end and the deep end, there is a buoy line, and the shore has text markings. Moreover, another type of blue-toned tiles on the swimming pool floor distinctly divides the pool into two clear sections.

Compared to the shallow end with white tiles, the deep end with blue tiles feels more like a lake, a river, or even... a corner of the sea.

Moreover, the shallow area of the pool is near the exit of the Swimming Hall, while the deep end... is close to the end of the Swimming Hall’s pool.
