Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 350: Old One Escapes

"Who has the seal for the Space gates?"

Old one, asked the temple head.

"Why do you ask?" Temple-head replied without giving any response.

He turned around and didn’t even wait for Old One to reply to him or re-ask the same question.

When both of them got to the meeting spot, the decision makers and the rest of the people from the Minor powers and the Minor professional associations are already sent.

They even gave orders to look for the ones who are absent today and placed them on the wanted list and their pictures and details are already ready to be publicized all over the planet.

But that has little use, because they are sure that those people are working for the Church.

Now, only the decision makers of the Six major powers and the professional associations are the only ones who are remaining for the inspection.

Even the subordinates are investigated.

As soon as the temple head and Old one entered the meeting space, the latter asked.

"Who has the seal for the Space gates?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They remembered noticing the temple head going out of the meeting room, but they didn’t remember Old one going out at all.

In fact, till that moment, they didn’t notice that Old one is actually missing from that place.

They suddenly felt like something was amiss.

The temple head exchanged glances with the rest of them and all of them looked at Old one.

"Why are you guys not replying? I am asking, where is the seal for the Space gates?" Old one got overly frustrated as time went on.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized something is not right and his theory was confirmed when he saw the serious looks on the faces of his peers.

He became vigilant and looked at them one by one.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"We never sealed the Space gates. Old one." Old two, the head of the Inscription association said in a solemn tone.

"What do you mean by that? He said that..." He paused and looked at the Thunder god temple head and gritted his teeth in anger.

"How dare you trick me?" He yelled at him, in exasperation.

"What do you mean tricking you? You should be answering questions. I already felt that something is not right as soon as we sat at the meeting. We are all working busily interrogating and judging everyone since morning, but I felt like something is amiss.

According to our estimate yesterday, us heads of the organizations, shouldn’t have this much work in our hands, if distributed evenly.

I was continuously counting and I never felt that something is wrong with the number of people present, but only at that moment, did I understand that something is gravely wrong. The more I felt it is normal, the more I contradicted myself and as soon as I walked out of the meeting space, I realized that something is wrong with the place we are sitting.

You deliberately used some tricks to make sure we don’t notice your absence while you are hiding in the back taking a look at the whole inspection, when the person from the Space gate association got caught, he was taken away by the Lightning Spear Sect head.

He was completely involved in the investigation and didn’t care about your presence.

If he wasn’t caught, you would have come back, but he was caught, so you seemed to be too worried about that and didn’t conceal your aura properly.

At first, I thought it was just Lightning Sper sect head, but he already is back.

That is why I came out of the meeting spot and felt like some type of cloud has been cleared.

You really wanted to get away with it and for that, how dare you make fools of all of us?"

The thunder god temple head looked at him for a second and said.

"Tell me, honestly what type of drug did you use? How can we just forget about a particular person in a particular space and in a particular period of time?"

Old one listened to it all and the frown on his face finally relaxed, his lips curled up as his serious face turned into a smirk.

"Since you already knew who I am, do you think I would give you any more info?"

The rest of the heads are all surprised. He continued casually.

"I didn’t expect your laziness is the reason for me get caught. Really? You actually calculated for the workload in such a simple thing? You have nothing to do but give energy to the formation and you even calculated effort for that too and you know what the worst part is me getting caught for a single question. Damn it, I am such a fool in believing you as soon as you said such a stupid thing.

Why would anyone dare to seal their own Space gate at a moment like this, when the enemy can attack any of us at any moment.

You really got me good there, Old Thunder."

As the rest of them are slowly surrounding him, Old One continued.

"I didn’t think that my plan would be seen through in such a stupid way, but if you really want to know how I made a fool out of all of you, it is simple, it is the weird habit of Old three, who wouldn’t sit for a meeting unless he has incense on the table.

He couldn’t stand the smell of others and he has specially made incense sticks and they happened to be made by the Pharmaceutical tower."

When everyone looked at the Incense for a second which is almost about to go out, they then realized that something is not wrong, why would all of them look at the incense when that guy pointed out at such a tense situation?"

As they are trying to shake their heads to get some sense, the Old one laughed and said.

"And do you all know, why I am talking so much so that I could buy some time for the Incense to get to your head and now that it seemed to have completely influence on you, goodbye."

With that, he turned tail and run. The remaining five felt like they are in a daze, their bodies are not feeling comfortable and they are feeling as if they are being stuck to the ground.

"It seems to be some type of high-level Hallucinogen. I knew this guy loved to make these things when he was young but never thought he would become so good at them."

Old three who is the Artisan association head, spoke through bitter struggle as he tried to move his body.

They noticed that they can use their spiritual energy only after two minutes. In fact, they are getting a sense of a situation and that is they are feeling struck only because of the hallucinogen. But they are only feeling struck, only limbs are not working, their spiritual energy and everything else is good to go.

Soon, the auras raged in a concentrated spot of this Central Continent, and the rest of the people who are still waiting for the Inspection outside the meeting Space are feeling a little uncomfortable.

Another two minutes later, they are free.

They felt extremely stupid when he thought about how they fell for that plan.

Most importantly, they don’t know how that medicine works and if they can control themselves if they are trapped in that again.

Old two and Old three left the place and chased in the way Old one left and are trying to see if they can still catch up to him.

But when they reached the Space gate of the Pharmaceutical Association, that Space gate was sealed from the other side and they came back in an extremely dejected fashion.

Meanwhile, they finished the Inspection of the rest and decided to prepare for the war.

Since they know their common enemy and their possible allies who are present in the Space gate association and the Seer tower, they are finally ready to take some serious action.

The first thing they did is send the people who are clear back to their posts and then the heads went to Formation Association.

The headquarters which was located at the edge of the central continent is the nearest to the Pharmaceutical tower and by the time they reached the place, all they saw is the whole tower in a wreck and many dead bodies.

When they checked the remains, they noticed that almost all the members of the tower are either dead or injured and there are no reserves of ingredients that should be present. The Garden was completely wiped clean and Old one seemed to have left the place right after looting it as soon as he arrived.

Now that they don’t know where their enemy is hidden, there is no way for them to deal with him head-on, the only option is war.
