Chapter 1532: Carver and Cultivator



The Carver of the group, the one capable of manipulating the ground, began doingething. He created a massive crater in the middle of the asteroid by carving chunks out of the crater and moving them elsewhere.

He didn't take away part of the ground but rather morphed it. The lip of the crater was made by removing the matter that would otherwise be inside of it.

Ning moved closer to the group of 6 to see just what was happening.

The Carver didn't stop moving at all. He continued working, making the crater bigger and bigger.

Ning sat by the side of the crater and watched.

At some point, the Carver had moved from making the crater, and instead added onto the lip of the crater, making large walls grow out of it.

The crater was now about 30 meters across and nearly 15 meters deep. Instead of being in the shape of a bowl, the crater was more in the shape of a pan. It was mostly flat at the bottom.

The wall extended out of the crater, going another 5 meters above. Now Ning was really curious just what they were doing. Setting up some location to protect themselves from objects flying around in the solar system? Setting up a place for some sort of observatory?

Ning thought of many possibilities, but in the end, the truth turned out to be much much more simple.

The Carver made an opening on four different sides, then moved on to flatten the land around those openings. Then, he rested for a bit and did something that shocked Ning to his core for a moment.

The Carver, a man in his late 30s, pulled the side of his suit, momentarily revealing his bare skin to space. Vacuum pulled on his air at once, sucking away everything, and the man felt the pull as well.

He handled it for a second and quickly reached to the floor, grabbing onto a few fists full of Sparks before dumping them into a special compartment inside of his suit.

Once again, he began Carving.

Ning felt the ground shake and wondered what the Carver was up to this time around.

The grounds shook and they began deforming once again. Part of the ground rose, slowly becoming a hill on the asteroid.

This was different from the crater.

The Carver continued working and Ning realized it was not a hill he was making. It looked like mountains, but they were clearly not.

"Waves?" Ning thought.

It was most definitely a wave. And it was moving.

Like a tsunami without an ocean, the Carver moved the ground itself, slowly bringing it toward the crater. The wave got larger and larger, and it curved at the top seemingly gathering everything.

It gathered all the Spark that was on the ground.

The man was moving the ground, and with it pulling all the Spark that had gathered in this asteroid for the past few years.

Ning finally understood their plan.

They weren't here to chart the stars or to set up an observatory. They were here for what they were always anywhere for.

Spark.

Spark was life itself to these people, and they would go to any length to get it.
