Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer
-
chapter-250
Sam is on a repetitive process now. On the Level 6 beast, moving from one dukedom to another is only a day's worth of journey.
In every Dukedom, his first target is a resource point and his second target is the Dukedom capital, luring the beasts towards the city and then again the third target is the remaining resource points.
He took over fifteen days in a single Dukedom and he is making great progress.
In next month. The western star and the Northwestern star are in trouble. Emperor is fuming mad because in every border that Sam attacked there is a declaration of war from the Arian empire.
He can invade on the remaining borders if he wants to, but the main problem is the resource scarcity.For every major resource that gets eliminated, there will be more stress on other fronts. So, he cannot take the initiative.
He is clearly regretting not sending a Marshall, a Pre-transcendent to attack Sam when he escaped at the first time.
He didn't think Sam as much, even when he dealt with the Blaze city and Herb Village, he didn't think much of him, only after he dealt with the metal mines in the Southwestern star and the Vickers' message did he understand the threat he is facing.
Never did he meet a cultivator who would use his brain to this extent.
In this world, where one's power derived his authority, politics are of little use, unless there are peers with equal strength to vie for that power.
He didn't expect Sam at his level can cause this much damage to him.
But now it was too late. Since the war started he had to make preparations and has to keep his Marshalls by his side, so he sent the six swords of Sword Marshalls to deal with Sam.And all of them are on Level 6 beasts.
But when they reached the Northern Dukedom, which could quite possibly be Sam's next target, they didn't find any traces. Some of the patrolled the skies all day long to see Sam and the started looking near the forests of the Dukedom.
But before they could manage, there was an attack at the Eastern Star, which was completely unexpected of Sam.
Now, only three dukedoms remained. They wanted to make sure that they find Sam and emperor deployed all the possible Nascent cultivators who are under the city guard command to pursue Sam.
They didn't know that it was a lost cause for them. Because Sam didn't bother attacking the remaining three Dukedoms.
In forty- five days, he dealt with three Dukedoms and revisited two old dukedoms. In total, he damaged the natural resources and the food resource of the five Dukedoms which are more than half of the Dukedoms of the empire.
Now, it is about time, he takes a back seat and relaxes for a bit. Because, even with the resources of three dukedoms, it would be a great stretch to sustain the war. The Arian already had an upper hand and they are maintaining a slow-paced war with minimal attacks.
When the empire in this state, what is thunder god temple doing?
This is the same question Sam had for Emperor Arian.
"They don't care. All they need is the tax according to the territory we have. Based on the land and the resources we have. Whether we are a single empire of two empires, it is completely same to them. As long as we pay taxes they don't really care."
This is the answer he got from Arian.
Sam wasn't completely surprised by this. After all, by the strength of the thunder god temple's standards, the people here are really not that powerful and neither these resources are also not that great.
Simply put, the conditions in the thunder god temple are too god for producing low-level products, so they are using these vassal empires to be those providers.
This is that simple.
So, now that Sam is clear from his Duty, he can take some rest and plan for the final show-down he planned in the future.
He crossed the border sneakily and went into Arian Base camp near the western star.
This place is where Emperor Arian is currently staying, so this is the safest place for Sam for now.
While the war was going on, he started his closed-door research.
First thing in his list is the Thunder Prison.
The treasure he got from the Palace. And according to the Avatar, this is the most versatile and if used well, most useful weapon.
Sam is now inside the Divine dimension, while Watt, Philip and Jack are sitting together in the tent.
With the crystal in the centre.
He held the thunder prison in its unused condition is like a small cage meant for a single pet parrot.
But in place of the hook which is used to hang the cage, there is a groove big enough to place a person's five fingers.
Sam took out a scroll, which has some information on Thunder Prison, this is the scroll given by the Avatar Sanchez along with the list of raw materials and the raw materials themselves.
At first, Sam didn't notice this scroll, but only later when he was going through all the info did, he see this information.
It is basic notes on how to use the thunder prison works.
It is actually quite simple.
For every usage, all one has to do is, place his palm inside the groove on the top of the cage.
Then they have to infuse the spiritual sense and some spiritual energy inside through the groove.
If the prison is charged completely, then all he has to do is place the prison on the ground and activate imagining the cage enlarging and surrounding themselves.
They can manipulate the size for a particular extent. From the size of a birdcage to the size of a medium-sized house.
For charging of the prison, he has to keep the thunder prison in either in an environment of the neutral spiritual energy or lightning elemental energy.
After sufficient charge which would take more than a hundred thousand spirit stones normally. But that didn't matter.
Sam is thinking about how to manipulate and how to use this more efficiently. After all, the avatar did say that.
So, he started using observation ability on it, but what he got was an absolute shock for him.
The cage is as small as a birdcage, but what he saw in the observation ability is very large.
It is as if it was a large gigantic structure, he couldn't fathom the dimensions of it. But one thing that he could still see and feel is a glowing object.
It looked like a brain of some sorts. Sam was stunned to see that because although it looked like a brain it is definitely not made of flesh, rather it was a brain which was made of some material unknown to him.
At least with his level of observation, he couldn't identify the materials.
But one thing he can say is that this brain is like a Central processing unit of a computer.
How did he know that? Because, when he trailed his spiritual sense into the brain, he could feel himself being inside it.
It was as if there are a huge number of small rooms inside a palace with him being in the ground floor hall. In the middle of the hall, there is a huge pool of lightning type elemental energy.
There are many doors leading to different rooms and when he entered the first room, which has a specific glow, he saw an altar of some on which there was a diagrammatical structure engraved on it.
He infused some spiritual energy inside and then the whole diagram lit up.
He could feel the energy inside the pool of the hall getting excited and passed towards the first door and then spreading all over the palace.
Inside the divine dimension, Sam opened his eyes and now, he was sitting inside a large metal cage which was covered with lightning.
He could feel the power and could feel a sense of security.
At this stage, it can take a full-blown attack of a Pre-transcendent and even a moderate attack of a Transcendent.
Sam looked at the gigantic structure and started examining it.
He is looking at various joints, observing the energy flow and many other aspects. One thing he could say about this is that is a marvel of engineering.
Even though the engineering might not be aligned with the modern engineering he was familiar with, this prison or cage was built with so that it would have the most efficiency and effectiveness in the defence. He also noticed that not only does it block the outer attacks, but a person also cannot attack from the inside with only one exception.
The person who is in charge of the cage can do the damage using the cage's energy.
After two hours, the cage turned back to its initial size. Sam once again flew his conscious inside and noticed that the pool in the hall was empty and only some small fog was lingering around it and he can also observe that the fog is surely but slowly increasing in thickness.
He took out some spirit stones and placed it near the cage and he can sense the cage absorbing the energy faster and he can also see the fog thickness speed increased a bit.
So, he drew a large formation a million spirit stones in it before placing the cage at the centre.
In this way, the formation will facilitate absorption more.
