Chapter 1475 - Capture
Chapter 1475 - Capture
Gail and Sonic Cat stood as they looked at the one spot they placed the pillar on. The first was easy since they caught the symbiote off guard.
They watched as it tried to go past the small rippling barrier around the pillar, but was unable to do so no matter how much it tried.
Gail heaved a sigh of relief. Even though he tried a lot of simulations and had some faith in this whole thing, watching some real proof always helped calm his heart down.
He looked at the Sonic cat and gestured it to make the second move as his body started glowing with spiritual energy. He is going into fusion with neutral energy which is not seen that often.
*ROAR*
The cat roared once again, at a different spot.
The small patch was cleared off the crystal symbiote immediately. But this also alerted the symbiote which is focused on that one area that the intruders who caused all of this are still here.
*swish*
A whistling sound came as Gail zoomed past everything in his way and landed on the second spot. He stabbed his pillar on the ground and activated it, before kicking the wall and moving back to the original spot with a swish.
But this time, while he was in mid-air, a crystal barrier appeared in front of him all of a sudden. Before he could even react, the cat made a move.
*ROAR*
As it roared the barrier was shaken and Gail just crashed through the barrier without any problem.
He reappeared on the spot. Cat and he got ready for the next attack, but as soon as they turned around trying to aim at their third spot, they are greeting with dozens of protrusions all in the shape of spears aimed at them.
*SWISH*
The spears came at them at full speed. Gail and Cat lunged forward and leapt into the air as they dodged the attacks while landing counterblows. The most effective way to not take any attacks is the combination of sound waves and the energy ripples and they are trying to use that for every block and attack.
As went past the spears that are coming at them non-stop, they reached the third spot.
The cat took the stand and created an energy barrier around with rippling energy for a moment and let Gail set up the third pillar.
Now the protrusions couldn't come at them any longer as they are within the range of pillar.
Gail stood there and looked around to calculate the location of the fourth pillar from that point.
After identifying it, then went on with the rest.
This went on for more than three hours as they placed around eighteen pillars at different spots and with every pillar, the symbiote got angrier and angrier.
It couldn't stand the constant appearance of the pillars and now that all eighteen of them are present, it is going all out. But to its dismay, there is only limited space that it could move in as eighteen pillars at eighteen spots are covering a large portion of the cave.
Making it hard for the symbiote to move.
But that is not the end of its suffering. In fact, it is the start.
After setting everything up. The cat and Gail are standing in two different spots out of these eighteen. They are far away, but they could see each other and communicate.
Gail took out the large metal ball that Sam gave him. The core of the whole plan and the object that is going to help them capture the core of this symbiote along with the rest of the crystal body that is about to be removed from the core.
He is really eager to see how it will all turn out, even though he is extremely anxious about what would happen if it didn't work.
He activated the ball and threw it into the air.
The symbiote tried to catch it, but right before it could do that, the ball already reached its destination.
It is hovering in the air and a formation was triggered connecting the ball with the eighteen pillars and enclosed space. The sonic vibrations and energy ripples completely ran rampant within that space and the symbiote that was intact all this while started converging together into a small space to find an escape out of that space.
It was not that easy though.
No matter which direction it moves, all it could find are the energy ripples enveloping it from all sides.
Gail sighed in relief as he looked at the symbiote.
All of it is now enclosed into this one space and all that was left is the final step of the plan.
He looked at the cat and gestured it to get ready.
The cat nodded and started condensing the energy into its front paw. Gail also started converging his energy into his fist as both of them looked at the symbiote struggling.
As if they are on cue, both of them moved at the same time and landed the hits on the ball simultaneously.
*BOOM*
A large explosive sound came, but nothing happened to the ball, instead, all of the energy is channelled into the ball and then towards the eighteen pillars completely increasing the intensity of the energy ripples.
The crystal symbiote that is constantly changing forms to figure out a way to get out of that enclosed space suddenly got hit with this massive energy and the whole crystal body got shattered.
All the pieces hit the ground and almost turned to powder.
Except for one of course. There is one piece in the middle of it all that is still hovering and that looked like a rhombohedral crystal in translucent white colour.
It tried to collect the rest of the powder back again, but couldn't as the energy ripples interrupted the process.
The cat looked at the whole thing and its eyes finally brightened.
Gail who is standing on the other side sighed in relief.
He was really afraid that this might fail. But lucky for him, the plan worked smoothly. Nothing untoward happened and there is only one thing left for him to do.
He gestured for the cat to get back and it did.
Gail then used a token that has a connection with the ball that is controlling the whole formation and tinkered with it a bit.
The formation was suddenly modified a bit and a small cavity appeared within that enclosed space without energy ripples.
The rhombohedral crystal immediately moved to that one space as it tried to stabilize itself and it started trying to gain the rest of the powder so that it could make its body back again.
But before it could do that, the cavity within which it is present at the moment, moved back a bit and the original spot was covered with ripples.
The crystal moved along with the cavity in desperation.
The same thing happened before it could stabilize itself. The cavity moved and the crystal moved.
This kept on going until the symbiote is very close to the entrance of the cave.
It is a bit far away from its crystal body to get it back. But it seems like it thought things through and used all of its strength to make a run for it as it hovered and zoomed towards the entrance as if luck was on its side the formation opened up a bit and it made it to the entrance.
It penetrated the membrane that was there because of the formations Gail set up and disappeared on the spot.
There is not a single trace of it left and even the membrane was gone.
Gail heaved a sigh of relief as he looked at the divine dimension fragment ring on his finger. He closed his eyes and checked inside where the white crystal is trying to move around, but couldn't as it got trapped in one space.
That is the purpose of the membrane.
It is Senior Elder Ma's technique. He connected the spatial transference through the formation to a divine dimension fragment.
The crystal powder that is the only floor is now currently turning grey and Gail collected it into his spatial ring.
The cat looked at the cave that it has been fighting in for years and got a bit glum.
It walked out of the cave moodily and laid down on the mattress outside while hugging its bolster.
Gail doesn't know what to do. He could feel that the cat is sad, but he couldn't comprehend a way to make it cheerful.
So, he stayed around for a while changing incenses within the machine and after a few hours, when the cat really got into sleep, he walked away from that spot.
He went back to the Gaja clan and gave the divine dimension fragment and the spatial ring to Sam.
"Your plan worked perfectly. Here is our reward. I hope you can find a proper use for it."
"Oh, you have no idea how properly I can use them. Just wait and see."
Sam said with an excited grin.
