Chapter 1114
Strangely shaped pillars of rare materials were carefully navigated through by a specially prepared robot. Carried in its grasp were Catarina and Timothy, still locked in their endless cycle. Aside from the two of them, there were practically no energy fluctuations in the entire facility… and outside of it there was only empty space. The void itself was not lacking in energy, but it was at a low concentration which was easy to handle.
Those present were only those absolutely necessary, with no distractions. They believed the formation would work, but they had unique circumstances and thus hadn’t truly been able to test it. But they were ready.
Koralo understood how it might look if Catarina died in something designed in large part by him, but what were they going to do- fire him? He didn’t want to be a candidate for best formation master in the Scarlet Alliance. It was easier when he was just her apprentice and the best was obvious. He truly hoped everything worked so he could continue to avoid the public eye.
Uzun was just as serious. He liked having a compatriot who saw things from different angles. He leaned more towards pure tech rather than formations, so how they solved the same problem in different ways was a big part of his development. And of course, usually the correct answer was hybrid technology.
Chidi was part of the project as well as being the emergency backup plan. He truly hoped he wouldn’t have to act, because that would indicate things were already off course.
A dark empty space filled the area around them, not because they couldn’t have lights, but because literally any interference might throw things off. And the Domination energy they were dealing with came from a light cultivator, so it seemed best to be cautious and minimize the slightest variables.
A countdown timer was on the displays in front of all of them. When it reached zero, the systems began pumping energy into the various pieces of their contraption.
Webs of energy without type crossed each other, invisible to the naked eye but extremely clear and bright to those who could sense energy. They connected for but a moment before fading into a dull form.
The process in place was ultimately extremely simple, but delicate. It was difficult for even those with the best senses to determine much was happening. At best, they could sense the runes activating and attempting to perform their purpose.
