Chapter 2199 Developments
Once again, Bloody Chariot wasn't impressed at all.
This is the most direct method, but the energy consumption is a lot more than the first. The only saving grace is that the spirit allows a better recovery from the atmosphere. Bloody Chariot moved on to the final formation.
This one is very similar to the first one. However, instead of prefixed actions, the controlled can make the energy do the actions in real time.
He can think and the energy will act like a conscious entity and will make it happen.
When Bloody Chariot tried to toss a coin. The energy inside condensed together to toss the coin into the air and the same energy dispersed a bit, slowed down the descent of the coin and finally made it levitate. Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates
The action is very similar to what Bloody Chariot has asked for.
But...
"Why the hell is the energy consumption so high? All I did was toss a coin. The energy wasn't even used much to throw it in the air."
"True sir. But we are still using the spirit as a medium for the formation to understand the commands. And the spirit needs to consume a lot of mental energy to derive a solution that is suitable based on your commands.
Right now, you sent a command to toss a coin.
The formation spirit processed the thoughts and tried to think of a solution on its own. It went ahead and used the small energy explosion to toss the coin and another one to make it stop and levitate.
Even the energy consumed for the action itself is not that high, the problem lies in the mental energy of the spirit. Once it is dissipated, the spirit might extinguish itself, so the immense spiritual energy and Divine energy acts as a supplement to replenish it."
Bloody Chariot nodded in understanding.
Just when the elder felt relieved a bit, Bloody Chariot asked more questions.
"So, if the spirit is taking this much energy to conjure the thoughts, can it at least consume less when it is doing the same action second time? After all, the difficult part of thinking up the solution is over.
The execution shouldn't be much of a problem right?"
The elder was stumped.
"Well..."
After twenty minutes, Bloody Chariot went back to the research area to see the results of the chip decoding. The deep frown indicated his dissatisfaction and even a slight anger towards the answers given by the elder.
The Vlachous family's situation which was abrupt to begin with had some developments. At the risk of losing some important resource points of their family, the clan went ahead and laid down a trap to catch a few of the perpetrators.
After expending tedious effort, they did manage to capture someone and interrogate them.
However, the results only made them become more wary of their situation.
The people turned out to be part of another Noble league family and that too a family of equal stature as the Vlachous.
The Vlachous family members grew so angry by this sudden and abrupt assault that they killed the two captives in a fit of anger. At first, they wanted to use these people as some bargaining chips. That is also the reason, they didn't just use some soul search or other disruptive method to interrogate them.
But after hearing part of the story from them, they couldn't control themselves.
They realized, they are not just being targeted by one family from the Noble league, but from around nine families. Out of which three of them can directly contend with Vlachous, while the remaining six are slightly inferior.
That is not even the worst part of the story.
They only managed to identify one family. The two captives don't know who the remaining eight families are.
They are cooperating, but only people who are handling the talks and deals between the families know who they are cooperating with.
In fact, even the family heads who are directly involved in this collaboration, don't know all the nine families that are involved. Each party only knew three to four of the nine.
So, it is no wonder that these small fries that got caught would not know any answers. However, the Vlachous didn't expect that there would be such a tight knit net being cast at them.
To think that they would even keep each other in the dark just to deal with them. They knew that they couldn't handle them that easily.
This news obviously reached all the important people of the Vlachous family, which included Christos. Despite his current demoted state, he is one of the promising members of the Vlachous that contributed a lot.
People might try to take him down for political reasons, but they wouldn't object to using his brain in times of crisis.
When Christos received the news, he felt his heart beat rapidly in anxiety. Because, the family that they found out was one of the families that was involved in Sam's trap. Just like Thalassa family, this one also sent a bunch of people to kill Sam in Pseudo-hell realm.
Christos didn't know if he was just seeing things because of how deep he was in with investigating Sam. But his gut feeling told him that all of this is related.
While he is brewing that anxiety, Bloody Chariot also received the news and this made him feel another wave of headache. He heard more bad news in the past few weeks that he had in decades that he spent on battlefield.
However, there is just one silver lining to all of this.
That is, the elders managed to decode one of the chips. The bird puppet chip was obviously less complex was broken and they managed to find the coordinates of the nest location.
Bloody Chariot decided that he would go to this expedition alone. Only after witnessing what is happening there, would be return and gather what is needed to perform a proper exploration there.
