Chapter 1582: Arkiv"s Visit
Sam was really surprised upon this revelation.
He didn"t expect that these three young men would be connected to him this way.
He actually got the liquid energy process by decoding their original work. The three formations they left down in the lower realms by trapping Saber Monarch and Vidyut as well as the formation that was made in that glacial lands to create a ma.s.sive patch of the warm region, three of them are decoded by Sam.
He broke the first two and modified the last one to his own violation. These three formations are some kinds of challenges to the world by these three guys and Sam won all of those challenges.
Not just won, he even stole their ideas to improve his own research.
What he doesn"t know is that they learned about Sam as soon as he messed with their work. They learned about his whereabouts, what he is doing and how he is climbing one realm after another as he made name for himself.
They kept a close eye on his journey and after Sam was trapped by Sivan and lost his body, they got a bit interested.
They started looking into Sivan and learned the details about this soul transfer process before reaching out to him.
They are very much interested in Sam"s ideas and thought processes along with all of the inventions he had at hand.
They approached Sivan who is trying to figure out a way to make the ideas from Sam"s memories work.
The Mari clan obviously didn"t have a single capable person that could make this work, so Sivan was in a perilous situation. There is nothing worse than having a treasure trove right under his feet, but not being able to enjoy it.
In that time, they contacted Sivan and all three of them are the reason why Sivan was even able to create all of this equipment.
Not just the equipment. They are the ones who helped him understand the Void style and ripple style, they created the Spiritual energy poison. They are involved in the creation of armors and puppets.
They basically prepared Sivan and his army for this war. Sivan, Mari clan, and the Divine league might be the reason why this war happened, but these three are the reason why this war progressed as it did.
If they were not present, Sam would have dealt with the Mari clan much more effectively. The war would have ended even before the Mari clan could have any chance to fight back at all.
They would have been decimated. Except for Sin"s existence, there is not a single thing that could have threatened them with the way things are.
Sam dissolved all of these memories and opened his eyes.
This is a really complicated situation. He thought Sivan might have had some other connection with these three men.
Even though he thought his inventions might have been the reason for this connection, he still felt it is primarily connected with Sivan itself.
But now it seems like he got it all wrong.
He is the main target of this whole thing and these people are trying to get the full set of his memories. That is because Sivan might be an idiot when it comes to technical things, things that need creativity and impeccable intellect, but he is cunning as a fox.
He didn"t dare reveal everything he got from Sam"s memories, he completely kept it in check and only revealed things that he has an immediate interest in and also things he thought would be done faster.
He also made a deal with these three men who clearly have means beyond anything Sivan and Mari clan could have, in case of s.h.i.t went sideways.
s.h.i.t indeed went sideways and he tried to call them out. Too bad, Sam already reached out before they could do anything and cornered Sivan.
Even though Sivan was taken away, Sam is not really worried. He knew exactly what he did. To make sure that Sivan doesn"t have a thought process of his own, he exploded his dormant soul that was left in Sivan"s body.
If his estimation is right, Sivan would be in a coma and his soul should be shredded. Even if the three men killed Sivan right at the moment, they wouldn"t get any information.
Sam is really worried about the information reaching these three guys.
Even with Sivan, there are limitations with what he could do, since he doesn"t have enough expertise with the technicalities and theories needed to make these ideas practical and functional.
But these three guys are different. They are very skilled. In fact way too skilled that Sam felt some sense of rivalry for the first time because of them.
If they get all of this info, the things they could do will exceed any imaginations anyone ever had even within the grey circle.
They could either create something that is way too beyond this world or destroy something that makes way too much of an imbalance to the world.
Either way, he doesn"t want someone else using his ideas to do such things.
He doesn"t want to indirectly be the reason for such a ma.s.sive impact.
So, he has to figure out a way to find them out and deal with them. The only problem is that they won"t be easy targets.
The same blueprint Sam used against all the other organizations wouldn"t work on these people. They are a very small organization. They are not spread too much, they have very few members and they have their own fair share of tricks up their sleeves just like Sam.
But he cannot do anything immediately.
So, he could only wait for a while.
He went to rest for the day after that was done.
The next day, Sam met Arkiv.
"How are you doing? I heard you stirred up quite some s.h.i.t even when you lost your body and resources. You can never sit still, can you?"
"What do you expect? Do you want me to take it lying down?"
"Nah, that doesn"t sound like you. Stirring up trouble is on par with your character. Anyway, I am glad you are okay.
The other players really became a pain in the a.s.s for me. They are constantly trying to guilt-trip me for using your resources when I was dealing with the organizations."
"Who cares? I bet even you didn"t care that much about it. You are just complaining here about the sake of it. How did it go through? Did you face any problems?"
"Not really, it is all good. In a way, your absence made this a bit more fun amongst ourselves, but the players worked really hard to lessen the gap between you and them.
They really thought this is the only chance they had to level the playing field a bit."
"So, did they succeed?"
"To an extent, yes. A lot of them even managed to gather some teams, just like you did. Noah and k.u.mar in particular. I don"t know what organization they are a part of, but they have a really elite team.
I think they are going to be tough to tackle even with your regular tricks."
"Well, because of the circ.u.mstances, some new things are made by the dusk here. I am sure I can handle them well enough no matter the situation now. The playing field will be uneven again.
At least until we are dealing with this organization."
"You already took the Mari clan, is there any chance that you are going to back off from these organizations?"
Arkiv asked.
Sam was confused and asked.
"Why is that?"
"I mean, I am not particularly against you partic.i.p.ating, it is just that we are all in the same boat, there is no point in the compet.i.tion this much is there?
It would indeed be better if the playing field is a bit even. If you let go of these organizations, the other players would have a chance.
With you widening the gap constantly, you are not just increasing the pressure, they are unable to keep up with the compet.i.tion because of the lack of resources. Just be a bit lenient this time."
"You are right.
But I cannot let go of the Divine Formation Mountain. I have something personal to settle with them."
"So the other organization is free for all?"
"Sure. I won"t even come to those premises if that is what you would like."
"That would be great. I will inform other players when I go back. As for the Divine Formation mountain, I will tell them the situation, and we will see what would happen. I think they will understand."
"Even if they don"t I can"t do much about it. It is not like I can just stop this enmity with the organization."
"Alright, alright. Don"t need to get so serious. But why do you have so many enemies? Give it a rest man. Just don"t p.i.s.s off too many people. Why do you do that yourself?"
