I began gathering up the arrivals that had appeared in the plaza. There was screaming and shouting, but they stood no chance against my hybrids and summons.
There had been nothing more from Champion Michael or Purgatory since his last attack. I kept thinking another one would co any day. I had left the city a couple of tis to scout out new monster types and found sothing quite amazing.
“You sure are a handso devil,” I had my summoned monster say.
“Yes, I am,” I replied. I carefully inspected every inch of it, from the clothing to its face. It had to be perfect. I reached out a hand and felt it. The monster was cold, or at least it wasn’t as warm as a human body should be.
I had been gathering up more summoner ants, when I had pushed to the Southeast and found these mimics that were pretending to be boulders. Thankfully their skill extended beyond that of the terrain. With a couple of tweaks, I had convincing body doubles.
I sat down on a chair and had the summon give a head massage. The incessant screaming was annoying. People should just let their blood be drained for blood powder and then brought to the transformation building. They should appreciate my eco-friendly stance of using every part of a human and not wasting a single bit.
It was nice how the hybridization process erased injuries and other issues from the humans I drained beforehand. They still needed to be fed, which was annoying, but I could use hybrids as a at source for each other and they didn’t need to last much long anyways. I had been cutting the tether when I had them consud and this gave an idea.
I knew exactly how I was going to use them with their ntal feedback drawback. I would cut the tether once the city walls were breached and let them spread out within the city, causing issues and as my first wave of attacks.
I would assault from each direction to prevent any kind of escape as well. This would disguise my true location. Once the city was sieged, I would break through at each entrance with an initial attack through whatever defenses existed. Then I would pour in the hybrids, sending them to the plaza. Once there I would cut the tether and let them rampage.
After that I would move in my summoning monsters and ntal attack monsters. I would kill may way towards the plaza. The real question was how Champion Michael would respond. He would probably launch a counterattack in a single direction and then try to locate .
I would need to carefully position myself and my decoys so that if he ran across one, he would think it was , while being unable to locate . I had made another breakthrough on prid summonings and hybridizations.
They would be perfect for a trap to slow him down, or possibly even kill him. The trick to prid summonings was to charge the process, but think of locking it in place, instead of activation. Such a simple difference, but a profound one.
They wouldn’t last forever, about a day. But the summonings could be prid, left, and then activated remotely. Energy wasn’t just energy like it was nad, it was far more than that.
It was a carrier of information. Crystals were the solidification of the ideas of monsters. This realization was an eye opener. The tethers were the transfer of information above all else. My energy was overwriting the Systemic Land’s energy when I was performing the summonings.
This implied each person had a unique energy signature. The skills used were created from an idea or concept. Saying the na of a skill and making a gesture was triggering sothing greater that would then insert the concept into the world using the concept as a dium.
Energy was the manifestation of ideas, a source of unlimited power. That was why the stat nas were so weird. Body was the concept of body, that energy strengthened. The sa with Mind. Regeneration was the clearest since it dealt directly with energy. Spirit, or the will of a person was what a person could draw upon.
Aura ant imposing one’s will on the energy around oneself. Endurance allowed energy to last longer. Absorption allowed the physical body to absorb energy. Everything was clicking into place.
Whatever force controlled the store clearly ant for people to beco exposed to energy and its uses. That was where the idea of raw energy manipulation had latched itself onto my brain and wouldn’t leave. Why would a person need skills or stats when they could grab the energy out there?
Whatever was interfacing between people and energy was acting like training wheels. I didn’t need training wheels. I needed the ability to grasp the energy and manipulate myself. I had been continually trying new things.
Energy was psychoactive, which implied that one just had to think the correct way in order to use it. It wasn’t simple and I had made zero progress beyond the crystal powder and summoning. The prid summoning could be called an achievent, if it wasn’t just scratching the surface of what was possible.
The combination of people during the hybridization process showed that active energy was a source of change, it was in flux. The crystals were potential energy and I was using that potential energy up during the powder making process, summoning, and hybridization.
Crystal powder allowed energy to flow through it, in a way liquid or air did not. It created the boundary for the summon, to reflect the process back onto the crystal and fully trigger it. I tried different shapes beyond a circle, but a circle was the most efficient in terms of powder to successful summoning.
It also explained the temporary boost in stats. The energy in the powder was reacting with the energy inside of a person.
That brought up the question of why blood powder was needed compared to regular powder and the difference? The answer eventually ca to as I used other bodily fluids with varying degrees of success.
Cerebral spinal fluid had the sa properties that blood did. It turned the powder red and allowed for the summoning of monsters from crystals. It was my will in the energy I was putting into the crystal to turn it into powder.
For the regular crystal powder, this energy was lost, and the world or system energy was used to reflect back on the crystal. But for blood powder, this blood inherited my energy and used my energy to reflect back on the crystal. This is what created the tether and control I had.
It also implied that whatever was controlling the other monsters used a similar thod, only far more complex. Like a paper airplane to a 747. I had only touched on the most surface of uses for raw energy, but this insight had opened my mind to what could be possible.
It also showed what a genius I was for making all the intuitive leaps I had. I was just touching the surface and I had far more to uncover.
This breakthrough was why I had held off on an attack for so long. However, it was past ti I responded to Champion Michael and cripple any response he might have. I would rip away his support base. If he wanted total war, then he would get total war.
