Chapter 2195 Race to Dismantle

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Bloody Chariot and Gungnir were in a deep thought.

They don't want to take whatever Joker said at the face value. After all, there is no guarantee that Joker is saying the truth. However, they also don't want to completely eliminate the possibility as well. At that time, Joker landed the final blow.

"You must have gotten access to the crystal chip from that puppet that you dismantled. If you decode it, you would be able to find a place called the Nest.

The nest is where the puppets stay and repair themselves after their missions are done. The four clans of the other four planets must have left their nests various locations. So, whenever the traces of the fifth clan are spotted, they will look for them and deal with them.

Once you find that nest, you might be able to find more details.

Of course, if you manage to dismantle the humanoid puppets as well, you will get similar information. There would always be a nest registered with a puppet. Even if you can't find its original nest, it is equipped with mechanisms to find the nearest nest.

You can find more details once you arrive at a nest.

From what I see, the strength of the puppets is not that high, which means the nest wouldn't be that strongly equipped with the defensive measures.

If I were you, I will start the decoding process and go back to search for the nest."

Joker's words gave some hope of both the elders.

This is not only a way to verify the authenticity of Joker's words, but also a great opportunity to improve the strength of their respective academies.

Both Gungnir and Bloody Chariot left after that discussion.

Both of them were silent and didn't exchange any information. Gungnir didn't even bother asking anything from Zeus academy. No compensation, no explanation, nothing. He picked up all the juniors and made his way to the Norse region.

Bloody Chariot also silently cleaned up the whole mess and went back to holing up.

The tensions between the Zeus academy and the Olympian families is increasing every day. He was still thinking of handling it a bit delicately. After all, he still needs the patronage of those families. But now, he decided that its time to become decisive.

He pushed forward his decision to the rest of the elders.

It is time to bring the resources back to the academy and stabilize it. Since the suspended elders holed up inside those families, he might as well shatter that defense and bring them back forcefully. Now, he has much better things to focus his time on, rather than these suspended idiots.

Just like that, conflicts triggered between the academy and the families.

For the first family, Bloody Chariot himself went, knocked down their gates and captured the elder. He killed a few of the elders of the family. Forcefully took over the assets from the suspended elder, even demanded the compensation from the other elders.

The heat intensified.

With Bloody Chariot's encouragement, the other elders also didn't hold back anymore. The conflicts also triggered in noble league, because some of them are being explicitly targeted. Christos who was busy with investigating Sam is already frustrated with the roadblocks that he hit, now he is having even more trouble because of them.

Meanwhile, back at Norse realm, Gungnir immediately got into the work.

His focus was on the Humanoid puppet that was won by one of their students. That student might have died, but he managed to get the ring back.

After some trials, he failed to open that ring and in turn see that puppet. So, after some consideration he once again went back to the Hub. But this time, the Norse Branch.

"What brings you back to me, so soon? It has barely been six hours."

Joker asked with a smile.

Gungnir didn't say anything and just extended his hand.

"How do we open this?"

"That information is way too valuable. Way more valuable than the story that I told you before. Are you sure, you have something that you can exchange for?"

Gungnir pursed his lips, but Joker knew he would buckle.

…

An hour later. Gungnir went back to the Thor academy. Within a secret room, he picked up one of the students who was not exactly the best at the combat, but had great skill in using his weapons as well as skill in formations and inscriptions.

It is a first grade student.

He made the student drop a little of his blood on the ring and at the same time, Gungnir used the help of a soul necromancer to cut of a piece of the young man's soul to attach it with the ring.

As soon as he did that, the ring started glowing brightly.

A bunch of runic patterns appeared on it.

"Place your hand on it and think of all your basic knowledge. Combat, formations and inscriptions. Just think of them and let it enter your mind freely."

Gungnir said and the student obliged.

After some time, there is a projection that came out of the glowing ring. The projection showcased a test. The young man who was merged his blood with it, was able to modify the projection.

And the tests began…

Two hours later.

"FUCK"

The young man screamed while holding his head. It is hurting as if a thousand hammers are being rammed against his head. He didn't want to deal with this. He wanted to give up desperately.

Gungnir sent the kid away, but he didn't let him interact with others. The kid was placed in solitude, while another kid with similar talents was called.

But this one failed within thirty minutes. One in ten minutes, the next one in twenty minutes.

As he watched these kids fail, one after the other, he couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated. Particularly, when he compared his own situation with the Bloody Chariot. The other party's luck is way too good. After all, Bloody Chariot has his own humanoid puppet and the bird puppet.

One of them was even dismantled smoothly.

He believed that Bloody Chariot is using the experience of dismantling the bird puppet to dismantle this humanoid puppet now.

And his guess is not right, while he is trying to struggle with this, Bloody Chariot is going well with the dismantling process. And luckily he has multiple puppets. One that he captured during the fight, which is dead.

The others that were won by the students. He is first trying to dismantle the one he acquired. Because based on Joker's story, the one that he captured belongs to one of the four clans that is still there. He would like to know more about them, since they are the direct threat.

The other thing can still wait a little bit.

As long as he is faster than Gungnir, then the whole thing is fine.

While things are like this, Christos who usually had knowledge of every piece of important information, doesn't even know what is happening. He is still busy investigating Sam and after some time, he stumbled up on some interesting information which he previously ignored.

The special admission of Sam.

Of course, that was actually well known and no one can actually ignore it.

Rather, he realized that there could be a connection between Sam and some other people who also came to Academy realm through special admissions as well. This made him think about the incident between Sam and Noah in the Norse region.

He connected the dots there when he was investigating Sam's relationship with Ivar.

Once he came across that, he started focusing more on the connection with Noah and Sam, then in turn Noah's relationship with Kumar which is very apparent for everyone to see.

And then he noticed some collaborations between this couple and three other students from the different academies.

All of them had only one thing in common.

They are all special admission students, which he didn't believe is a sheer coincidence. Then he also recalled Dayus who also came in as a special admission.

Now that he got this lead, he immediately acted up on it. The first target is obviously Dayus, who is right under his nose.

"What do you mean, you can't say anything?" Christos asked as he looked at Dayus with a frown. He is very pissed off up on hearing that answer.

What does he mean by being unable to share the information? That is an answer he is not willing to take.

"It means exactly as I said. I cannot give out any info. I am not at a liberty to. If you want any details, you can try it with the other candidates that you mentioned. They can give you the detailed info. Or, you can go ahead and talk to the Dean.

You won't get anything from me."

That is the answer he received.

Christos was dejected, but he didn't waste his time and went to Norse region.
