Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 1477 - Symbiotic Curses



"We will only know after I try," Gail said in a dejected expression.

Sam just shrugged and didn't answer. The sonic cat coming to the Gaja clan is actually a very huge factor in how their defence is going to be. Of course, the only two options are great and invincible and with the cat, the latter option would be the more likely one.

"Whatever your project is with that Crystal Symbiote, it better be worth it," Gail said with a tired sigh.

"Of course, we already have some results. Do you want to see it?"

Sam asked with excitement clearly written all over his face.

Gail nodded and said.

"Why not?"

"Okay, then let's go outside. I want to your participation in this so that you can understand it properly."

With that, both of them walked out of the room and entered the yard. There a large beast's corpse was laid down.

Looking at its cultivation level, Gail was a bit surprised.

"Did Gamin bring this?"

"Yes. Your brother, really has a way of his own, doesn't he? I asked him to bring beasts alive, but it seems like this one pissed him off a bit, be brought the corpse and told me to use it for the corpse refinement."

"You can indeed do that."

"Of course, I can, but the beasts' bodies are way too big and the first step of curse refinement takes a much longer time for them.

I don't have that much time to waste."

Gail nodded and asked.

"What do you want me to do here?"

"I want you to circulate your energy in the beast's body and try to resist whatever that is happening to it just like how a beast's internal energy resists against foreign things entering their body. Can you do that?"

"I think I can manage that. But of course, it wouldn't be as effective as the beast resisting itself."

"Of course, it wouldn't be. But it will give you an idea."

Gail walked to the corpse and injected his spiritual energy.

Sam took out a crystal from his storage. It looked just like the crystal symbiote's core crystal they caught. But Gail knew that this is not it. This crystal is way too small and it is a lot less shiny than the original.

Sam injected his own spiritual energy into it and threw it with a bit of ripple style.

The crystal reacted to the ripple style and it collapsed into a powdery state as it reached the beast's body.

It fell on the body and all of a sudden, it seeped into the pores and it is nowhere to be seen.

Gail, who could sense what is happening within the beast's body was surprised by the sensation he is feeling.

He knew that there are some changes happening from within the body of the beast, but he doesn't know what is it. But he tried to resist the changes by using his spiritual energy.

As he is trying to figure out what is happening, he suddenly heard a crack.

*CRACK*

The bones started making cracking sounds and this made him feel a bit stunned. He cannot understand how this happened and how the crystal powder is doing it, but before he knew it, the bones started thinning and they are disappearing bit by bit.

At the same time, simultaneously there is a crystal-forming in the body of the beast. The bone fragments that are too small to be seen by the naked eye are being eroded from the bones in the beast's body and they are accumulating in the crystal.

Before he knew it, the beast's body became a bag of flesh along with blood and internal organs. Not a single bone left. Even the skull was not spared and the teeth are also gone.

Gail didn't even get enough time to express his surprise when the flesh started disappearing a bit and soon there is a small crystal lump in the place where the beast used to be and instead of the large body, there is a large patch of new, fresh and lush vegetation growing out of nowhere.

Gail looked at the whole thing with his eyes wide open. He cannot understand and comprehend how this happened.

Most of its functions are just like how a crystal symbiote reacts. At least how he knows they reacted. But the crystal here is not exactly acting the same as the symbiote.

It is not actively trying to get to Gail, even though he is nearby.

He felt that it might be because of the cultivation level difference. So, he directly presented his doubt.

"No, it is not because of the level difference. It is because the symbiote is not going to act without any commands. See this."

Sam took out another corpse from the storage and placed it right above the symbiote.

"The symbiote should have started devouring the corpse. But it is not doing it."

"Indeed it is not doing it. Why?"

"Because this is not just not a symbiote anymore. It is a cursed artefact. It is a bone devouring symbiotic curse.

It is made from the crystal material that comes from the symbiote. Currently, it is still locked in the divine dimension fragment and I used the material you collected from the cave.

This is one of the first products of the material."

"First? Just how many are you planning?"

"Imagine the possibilities, Gail. Long-range attacks, short-range assassinations, what can't we do with it? As long as the person is not knowledgeable about this, they are bound to die. In fact, they can be used as weapons even when they are lying on the ground like that."

Sam said as he pointed his finger at the corpse of the beast and shot.

The energy bullet penetrated through the beast and landed on the crystal with ripple style. It broke down into the powder and entered the corpse.

The same phenomenon as before repeated itself as the whole body completely disappeared within a few minutes.

The crystal a bit bigger than the previous one appeared in that place.

Gail looked at it and felt a bit scared.

Yes, even he felt a bit scared. The enemies that are coming at the Gaja clan are in for a world of pain and suffering.

"You are not as kind as Jyon says are you?"

"Not really. I said that to her too. I thought she understood that."

Gail shrugged and said.

"Anyway, it is a good thing that you are not an enemy. If you are, I would have to put all of my pride aside and find you to kill you. It goes against my principles of killing a young man beneath my level of power. It also goes against my principle to fight for the clan so desperately to kill someone that the clan themselves made an enemy of.

But even if I have to go against every other principle that I placed for myself throughout my life, I will definitely kill you."

"I will take that as a compliment," Sam said with a smile and walked in with the crystal.

Gail was taken aback a bit, but he also smiled and walked in.

He involuntarily gave out a threat to Sam, because he came to understand how dangerous he can be.

With the current situation of the clan, it would be incredibly damaging if Sam becomes an enemy to them. So, he just wanted to make sure Sam also doesn't take any drastic measures when some kind of discord appears between them.

But it appeared like Sam is not fazed by the threat.

Gail suddenly felt refreshed. It is not every day that someone ignores his threat and he felt good about it for some reason.

Anyway, he looked at the vegetation that was caused by the symbiote for one last time, before he went away to make preparations for the visit back to the Sonic cat.

The next day, he went to meet the cat. It is just as dull as before and for some reason, it is even ignoring him.

"Alright, I knew I invited you. But I didn't clarify about it. I didn't want you to be my servant. I wanted a contract of equals between us.

Like two friends and companions fighting side by side."

The cat looked at him in disdain.

*MEOW*

He mewed loudly and went back to taking in the incense.

"What? We are equals aren't we?"

Gail asked with a doubtful expression, the cat shook its head instantly and gestured with its front paws.

One paw pointed at itself and then placed it on top of the other paw which was used to point at Gail.

"You are saying, you are better than me?"

The cat nodded profusely.

"We are definitely equals."

Gail insisted.

But the cat decided to ignore him. It doesn't have to stoop low to convince Gail. After all, the ass kickings it gave speak for themselves.

It is clearly stronger and more powerful, why would it be in a contract of servitude and even the contract of equals for that matter?
