[Deconstruction Success!]

[Your harmless deconstruction completion level for “Corrupted Lieutenant Yasde” has risen from 0% to 10%]

[The system has removed all deconstruction results that could bring negative effects.]

[Based on your extraordinary knowledge,]

[The harmless deconstruction results are as follows:]

[1. Some recent memory fragments of the target.]

[2. Panel information of Corrupted Lieutenant Yasde]

[Name] Yasde

[Race] Unknown

[Identity 1] Tatis Empire Lieutenant

[Identity 2] Corrupted Fist of the Empire

[Strength] Second Order Empire’s Fist, and Second Order Corrupted Fist

[Features]

Corrupted Soul

A familiar corruptive energy has twisted the soul of this imperial lieutenant. It is not difficult to trace this corruptive power back to the black tentacles of the “Twilight Dream” as long as you carefully discern it.

One body, two sides

The outer shell of the corrupted soul is a legitimate imperial lieutenant. No one can detect his madness, distortion, and evil unless he actively shows his corrupted side.

(Other deconstruction content omitted)

Upon seeing the word “Corrupted Soul” on the panel, Noland checked the memory fragments of the imperial lieutenant.

Perhaps because the system had removed deconstruction results that could bring negative effects, there was nothing unusual in the recent memories of this lieutenant named Yasde; he was just like a normal imperial lieutenant, inspecting cargo ships, checking biochemical soldiers, and directing imperial soldiers.

The overall harvest of the 4000 points of energy spent was somewhat limited, knowing only the existence of “Corrupted Fist,” “Corrupted Soul,” and “Evil Domination.”

As for losses… it actually wasn’t that bad.

Years ago, the Star Filtering Net in the sky allowed the Dusk Giants to pass through it, drop through the filtering net, and fall onto Tatis land.

This time, the deconstruction results proved that the black tentacle had fallen with the Dusk Giants.

Noland checked the deconstruction results related to the Undead Cult and quickly read through them.

In these deconstruction results obtained from the Undead Cult’s undead troops, magic protective cover, and death magic devices, the word “corrupted” did not appear.

Instead, it appeared on an imperial lieutenant.

Noland had a speculation in his mind.

After the black tentacle fell to the ground, it was picked up by Tatis’s emperor.

There was also another possibility:

When Tatis’s emperor took away the dreamscape of the Dusk Giants, he didn’t know about the existence of the black tentacles. After all, it was the mysterious object that could suspend a Dusk Titan in midair, so it was normal for the black tentacles to hide from the emperor’s sight.

If following this logic to speculate then…

Would the emperor be contaminated by the black tentacles?

Noland blinked his eyes, the more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

But as for whether the emperor was actually contaminated, that was unclear, not unless he met the emperor and cast deconstruction right in front of him.

As Noland was thinking about the black tentacle matter, he suddenly noticed that Yasde had left the captain’s quarters.

The man moved leisurely through the corridor and staircase, heading towards the lower deck.

Noland immediately informed Derek about the situation.

Derek was fully focused on controlling the mechanical crab to avoid the imperial soldiers on the lower deck. Upon hearing that the captain was coming, he quickly controlled the mechanical crab to hide in a metal trash can on the lower deck.

Derek wiped the sweat off his forehead and rested for two seconds:

“Phew~ Checking this ghost place is more tiring than exploring the Fissure Corridor. Ray, let’s prepare to go back. Those imperial soldiers who went to the lower deck don’t seem to be heading to check the cargo hold. They’re standing in the corridor, and I have no idea what they’re up to?”

Noland’s gaze followed Yasde as he watched him enter the lower deck and stand before a group of imperial soldiers.

According to Yasde’s mouth outline, he seemed to be talking.

Derek also noticed the situation on the lower deck:

“Huh? Wait a minute. What’s that lieutenant talking about with the soldiers? Let me listen.”

Derek made a few hand gestures with his right hand and muttered:

“Hmm, I see. This guy is wearing the clothes of an imperial lieutenant, and his status is not ordinary… This is a bit troublesome, they’re speaking Tatis language, I can’t understand it. But judging from the actions of the soldiers, it looks like they’re going to check the innermost cargo hold. Let me go and see.”

“Be careful, Derek.”

Noland gave a reminder.

“Don’t worry. There is more clutter on the lower deck than on the middle deck, so avoiding their line of sight should be no problem. I’ve heard that imperial lieutenants have great hearing, so let’s wait for them to move away before I do anything.”

Derek kept his right hand in a stationary position for nearly a minute before starting to manipulate the mechanical crab with hand gestures.

He described the scene to Noland:

“The soldiers have gone inside the cargo hold. Luckily they didn’t close the door, or I would have been locked out again… By the way, Ray, can you check if there is anyone left on the middle and upper decks?”
