Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 1422 - Crystal Hive

”You made this formation?” Giyon asked in surprise as Sam looked at the dome.

”Not exactly. I never finished the design and put it on the paper, it was something I made up in my head.

It is called the crystal hive.”

Giyon frowned and asked.

”So, Sivan made this out of your memories?”

”Exactly. This project is something I started after I got the space element.  But the thought process was not fully formed. This is like a puzzle that keeps your mind occupied.”

Giyon and the subordinates looked at the large formation and gulped down. They are already clueless and helpless when it comes to the formation and Sam is saying that it is not even the complete one and he is even saying that it is nothing more than a puzzle that keeps his mind occupied.

They donʼt know whether to laugh or cry. Sam didnʼt care about what they are thinking and started explaining the formation.

”This is called the Crystal Hive formation.

It consists of mainly two parts. The first one is the Prison. It is inside the dome and within that prison is where Grivon and his subordinates are trapped.

The second part is the barrier.

Which is the dome. The dome is to keep the outsiders away.

The person who is operating the formation and the rest of the subordinates would be staying within the ring formed by the barrier and the prison.”

Sam paused and moved to the table. He opened a fresh long scroll and started explaining everything in detail.

There are several hexagonal prisms that make the prison and the dome. They are like the bricks that formed the structure o the prison and the barrier.

But instead of the solid bricks, they are hollow and empty and are fully formed by condensed energy giving it off a crystalline structure and appearance.

The hive-like structure formed by these prisms gives an illusory appearance without any gimmicks and formations.

No matter how you try, you wouldnʼt be able to see what is happening inside and people inside the prison wouldnʼt even know what is happening outside.

The information is cut off and everyone is trapped.

Now, the people within the ring will have time to prepare for the onslaught.

The one drawback of the formation which is one of the three factors that makes this formation incomplete is the energy depletion.

Unlike most formations that sustain on the energy from nature, this one needs formation masters actively monitoring and supplying energy.

Along with that, there would be more than a hundred formation spirits operating the formation in tandem. Simply put, most of the energy supply is coming from the formation masters themselves.

The second drawback is that the formation is not completed in terms of the integration of spatial elements.

Because of the absence of spatial elements, the barrier and prison are not completely connected. Ninety percent of the actual functions this formation should be doing cannot be done now.

The last drawback is the presence of so many formation masters.

It is not exactly being controlled by a single person. Even though most of the control might be in Sivanʼs hands, the formation masters that are acting as nodes will not be able to sustain it for long.”

Sam paused as he looked at everyone in the room. Everyone had different expressions, but most common thing he could find is that they are confused.

”You are saying that these are the drawbacks, how can we utilize them?”

”Except for the third one the other two are not exactly useful, the only reason they are drawbacks for the formation is that they are not troubling us in the way they should be doing.

Anyway, let me get into the troubles the formation can cause us.

First of all, the attacks you are doing are a waste of time and energy and not just that you are fueling the formation with new ammo to attack us.”

”How is that even possible?” Giyon asked.

Sam looked at her and said.

”Dont be in a hurry, I am about to explain that.

There are three energy styles I learned. Void style, Ripple style, and Repel Style.

They are extremely lethal and effective, I have been experimenting with these styles to create some formations and had many of them and this formation is a part of those experiments.

It is made from the Ripple style and Repel style combined together.

The structure of the crystal energy walls is made in such a way that when an attack occurs, at the point of contact, the energy will be rippled and propagated to all of the formation and into various prisms.

Even though the prisms are forming the structure, they are also individual entities.

The formation structure will loosen up and it will let the attack in and trap it in one of the prisms.

The trapped attack will then be controlled and preserved there with the help of the propagated energy.”

This time Sam noticed that everyone is confused and even Giyon doesnʼt have any clarity.

He sighed and said.

”Okay, all you have to know is that the formation will catch the attacks as long as they are condensed from any form of energy, whether they are blade rays or the elemental energy attacks and traps them in the prison.

In fact it uses the impact force that was created on point of contact of the attack to preserve that.

By now all of the attacks that you used from all directions might have been stored in each prism within the barrier.

Since three of your subordinates are trapped, if you attack anymore they might be effected too. In fact, there is a chance that the attacks will be diverted to their prism and kill them inside.

At the same time, as long as they are attacking from inside the same thing happens, first the prisms around them will be filled with attacks and the more prisms are full the more dangerous it will become to them.”

”But why did they completely disappear. I mean, the prisms are transparent, even if we are unable to see clearly because of the illusory appearance, we could have seen them, at least have gotten a glimpse.” One of the subordinates asked and Sam said.

”Well, that is another one of the troubles.

It is almost impossible for you guys to notice the location of the prism within the hive because the prisms would be constantly moving and even the person that is trapped inside wouldnʼt be able to notice that.

Only the primary controller would know the exact location of every prison as they would be watching it in the small remote formation.”

”What kind of twisted creation is this?”

”I already told you, it is not a creation, it was just a thought to keep my mind occupied. I never knew if it would materialize and come to any use.”

”Really? This is not useful? YOu cannot find any use for that?”

”I can, but most of the time I would never be catching my enemy and trapping them like this. I can just kill them all in many other ways, so why would I be using this? Apart from being a technically difficult formation to create and the complexity that gives me the satisfaction of creation and practice in improving my skill, this thing is mighty useless.

Maybe, it could go to my academy library for the kids to learn something from. That is it.”

As Sam said, he walked outside of the tent to get a closer look at the dome once again.

Giyon came back after him and said.

”Well clearly someone managed to find a proper use for it.”

”Maybe. I am more surprised by his ability to master it. Then again, this is one of the few ideas that he could directly use with just skill formation masters without any need of calculations and derivations.”

”That is not what is important here. We need to find out a way to get Grivon out of there.”

”Donʼt worry, we can do that. Just tell your people to not attack the formation. At least until I tell them to.

I need to make a round around the dome and check out the nodes once. After I am done with the inspection, we can execute the plan and we will be reaching Grivon in no time.”

”What if he kills Grivon?”

”Sivan wouldnʼt do that, he is way too smart to commit such a mistake. He is here after me and he knew that once Grivon dies, we donʼt have any need to stay here and go after him immediately.

We can take our sweet revenge later.

So, Grivon is going to stay alive. I just hope that he wouldnʼt fill up the whole hive of the prison with attacks. Otherwise, his trapped subordinates are going to be doomed.”

Sam immediately made a move and started inspecting the dome.

He only came back after an hour and started explaining the plan.
