Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

chapter-2225
Bloody Chariot is in a tricky situation and even he knows it.
He knew that he is extremely suspicious from the perspective of other deans. He also needs to deal with it as soon as possible before it bites the whole Zeus academy. But before that, he has something else to deal with.
The students in the expedition.
Joker is a bullshitter. He understood that much. Even if he is beaten to death, Bloody Chariot wouldn't believe that Joker is not involved in the attack against the academies. He also believed now that he fell into Joker's trap.
So, he started feeling a sense of unease about the expeditions as well.First he went to the elders who examined the white crystal and the planet.
"Are the white crystals really as magical as you say? Are they really useful? Are you sure they are not some dud decoy materials used to fool us?"
He shot the questions one by one.
The elders exchanged a glance not knowing what to say. If it was before when Bloody Chariot's mood was actually good, they would have nodded their heads like some chickens. But they could clearly feel his gloomy mood.
They didn't dare to promise that it is valuable as they felt like they had their lives at stake.
"Sir, from whatever tests we did, we couldn't find a single abnormality apart from its uniqueness. From our limited knowledge, it just feels like a rare and unique mineral. Nothing else."
"How sure are you that your conjecture is right?""Sir, the mineral itself couldn't be a problem. It is legitimate. But the planet… I cannot guarantee that. If there is any problem then it could be from the planet the mineral is located it and how it is used."
The elder mustered some courage and defended his position.
Bloody Chariot on the other hand, stayed silent. He started sweating a bit. His heart rate increased and his breathing is a bit rugged.
'I am feeling nervous. How long has it been?'
He looked at his slightly trembling palm and gritted his teeth. He immediately zoomed towards the space gate. He is there within seconds. Just when he was about to use the space gate to go back to the expedition planet…
*SWOOSH*
The space gate activated and someone came from the other side.
*PANT* *PANT* *THUD*
A young man barely stumbled out of the space gate formation and fell on the ground while panting heavily.
Bloody Chariot was surprised and ran towards him. It is a very familiar face. None other than Christos. He has injuries of several kinds. He is battered, clearly from a tough battle. Bloody Chariot took out a pill and fed it to him.
Christos' injuries started disappearing quickly and some life returned to his face.
*COUGH* *COUGH*
He coughed twice and woke up.
"What happened?" Bloody Chariot asked with a frown. He does have some speculations, but if they are right, it is not necessarily a good news for him.
"I was ambushed. Noble league students. They attacked me together…"
Christos began recounting the whole thing. A few hours ago.
After the elders left the white crystal planet, the crystals didn't show any signs of calming down. However, their energy level was distributed evenly around the crystals of all the students present on the planet.
They understood that something went wrong. At that time, Christos' team focused on the formation dome in front of them instead of worrying about the possible disaster. He felt that clearing the dome will be the only way to avoid this.
So, their team started brain storming.
"Tell me whatever you think. Say it out loud. Don't contemplate if that idea is idiotic or feasible. Just say it out loud." Christos instructed his team.
The rest of them exchanged a glance. Seeing their hesitance, Christos started.
"I feel like there are certain conditions to go after these domes. We already know that the energy level and even the rewards inside are different.
Maybe, we left a few level 1 domes without clearing them. Could they be hidden in some unseen places?"
One of teammates finally mustered some courage and replied.
"But the elders already scoured the whole planet to its deepest parts. Even the hidden places are past our abilities to detect, the elders and Bloody Chariot… I believe they have the skills."
"What if there is a hidden condition within the state of the formation itself? From what I observed, this formation was dense and packed up previously, but after this reaction occurred, it became a lot more active and the energy is much more accessible."
Christos frowned at this and asked.
"So, we need to understand what triggered this phenomenon… contact the other teams and try to get an update from them. Ask them if they did anything notable."
All of them took the communication tokens and contacted others. Coincidentally, Christos contacted the formation genius who hit the formation dome in frustration.
"Did something happen with your team before this weird phenomenon? Did you guys do anything?"
"Why the fuck would I tell you that information?"
That is the answer Christos received.
"You might be a genius at formations, but I am better than you at reading the situations. You really think you can have a better chance at figuring this out than me? The crystals around us are warming up. The speed of charge might have decreased, but they are going to explode sooner or later.
So, tell me know."
"This guy hit the formation dome and then we felt a bit of quake. The energy of the formation became a bit more active and unstable."
A different voice answered from other side. Christos felt like he stumbled on something.
He thought for a moment and threw a punch on the formation dome.
*BOOM*
Nothing happened to the dome, but the crystals around him increased their speed of charge.
"Check the formation now."
He instructed his teammate who did exactly that. They soon figured out what the situation is. The formation domes of second level are activated only after getting hit. Once a formation is hit, the crystals act up and they charge to explode. The more number of formations that are activated, the faster they will charge.
And also the more number of formations that are hit, the easier it is to decode them. They need to strategize and attack only a select number of formations so that they can decode them while still having enough time.
With Christos' lead and direction, the rest of the teams worked together and they all managed to start decoding the formation domes.
Unsurprisingly Christos' team came first… again.
The second level of domes were cleared soon with the same lead.
This time, the genius got pissed off and he contacted the rest of the noble league members.
"Guys, this is the perfect chance. We already planned to dispose off Christos. We are far away from the Academy realm and any other Olympian realm. He also doesn't have any helpers. And once he is gone, his team's lead will also reduce.
I already tested the third level formation domes and they also act the exact same way as the second.
We cannot lose this chance."
He proposed the idea out of spite and the rest of the noble league agreed readily. They already planned this a long time ago. They came here with the decision that they would attack Christos if a situation presented itself.
And right now, the situation did present itself.
Christos didn't know this is happening and by the time he realized, he was already surrounded by the noble league members that are present on the planet. They even prepared the contingencies against his abilities.
Christos realized that he couldn't beat them and started running. On his way, he started attacking the formation domes crazily. He even attacked the central formation dome, which is the biggest of all. After landing that attack, he used the transference token to leave.
Bloody Chariot understood the situation and he felt a bit conflicted. It is one thing if the other side is a trap, but it is a few levels worse if the students are killing each other. He gritted his teeth and wanted to activate the space gate to go there.
But he stopped.
The acceleration theory of Christos… if he goes there the speed will increase drastically and the explosion might just happen in seconds before he could react.
He won't have enough time to contact those students and set this straight.
He could only do one thing.
He contacted another promising second grade student and gave him clear instructions before sending him into the space gate. He activated it… but nothing.
The space gate didn't activate.
He had a bad feeling in his heart. He hurriedly went to the third grade expedition space gate and tried to activate it. Same situation. It didn't activate.
The bad premonition got intense. At that time, an attendant came running over.
"Sir, there is an urgent communication request from Thor academy."
