"Why are we talking about this?"
Indra asked as he regained his composure.
"Some asked me about this from the lower realms. They said that this topic is being talked about a lot in the lower realms."
"Who is that someone?" Hou Yi asked as he looked at Hel's eyes. Hel thought for a moment clearly showing her hesitation, but she finally opened up.
"It is Sam."
The remaining two gods were shocked and this time, it is more than disbelief, they became anxious.
"How the hell did he know?" Indra yelled at the top of his lungs.
Hel looked at him coldly as her aura raged and said.
"Shut the fuck up and sit down. Yelling doesn't solve anything and sends everything to shit." She really doesn't want to talk about this with these two. But these two are the only ones that are involved at the same level as her. So, she kind of doesn't have a choice.
"It must be some kind of trick he is using. That little bastard is really good at this kind of thing. He must have gotten this information from Gambler. If anyone has any possibility of knowing this information, it must be the gambler."
"It is not him. And I don't think this another one of Sam's tricks." Hel decisively rejected both ideas instantly.
When the remaining two looked at her in askance, she proceeded to explain.
"Gambler does know about the incident and he came to me. We signed a contract to keep the confidentiality. He wouldn't be revealing this to anyone. As for why Sam is not playing tricks, he said it himself. He wanted to kill me with his own hands and the rumors he heard seemed to be a bit troublesome.
He wanted me to take care of the situation so that I wouldn't die before he comes here and kills me."
"And you believed that at his face value?" Hou Yi said from the side.
Hel looked at him coldly and said.
"He has much more face value than you two clowns that are gods. And I have many more reasons to believe him than believing you two. He never had to hold back his words in front us, just because we are gods, we cannot touch him directly no matter how much we hate him and he constantly provoked us time and again, without any form of restraint.
I don't see any reason for him to lie to me."
Hou Yi was about to say something, but Indra stopped him and asked.
"I thought this situation was supposed to be sealed completely. But it seems like the trouble arose. What else did he say?"
"He said that he heard this from an Elven branch he destroyed two years ago. I inquired and found out that is under Hou Yi." Hel said and looked at him.
Hou Yi nodded and agreed.
"Yes, he indeed did that and the clan was involved in this."
"He said that the head of the family of someone that is on his last breath wanted to confess his sins to lessen the guilt and he said that only half of the blame was theirs and the half of it was ours, he even named Hou Yi and me."
"If the elven branch was destroyed, then doesn't that mean that the problem is solved?"
"No, there are other places that are involved in the incident. Even if we have drafted most of them into our direct forces, there are some remnants that are still present in the forces. Let us contact those forces and ask them to report the incident as soon they even hear about this. We need to increase some surveillance on them…"
Hel went on to explain what they need to do.
While the gods are worried about Sam's simple statement, the man himself is currently busy.
Since he got the decent soul loot, he decided to try some research and experiments while his team investigates their next target which is actually a place under Hou Yi.
They moved far away from the Night Demon realm and their current targets are considered extremely low level compared to the Night Demon family.
While the team is investigating, Sam is currently tinkering with a machine that looked like a metallic rectangular block that is four feet long, three feet wide, and one and a half feet long.
On the top of the block, the is a circle with a radius of one foot in the center.
As for the lateral surfaces, on the four feet side, there are three vertical grooves which are a foot long and two inches wide.
The grooves are similar on the opposite side.
On the three feet side, one side is completely devoid of any grooves or protrusions making it a completely clean surface.
On the remaining side, there are two grooves, on the center, there is a small circular groove that can house an average-sized space jade and beside it, there is a palm-shaped groove that houses the palm of the user.
He took out six transparent cylinders.
Out of which three of them have white liquid. It is the liquid energy created from the neutral spiritual energy and the remaining three cylinders have three white glowing orbs that are floating within.
He inserted three of the energy cylinders on one side with three vertical grooves and the remaining three with orbs on the other side.
He then took out a space jade and placed it in the small circular groove.
He placed the palm on the palm-shaped groove as he injected some energy inside.
There are some mechanical sounds that could be heard from the machine and the circular section on the top of the surface moved downwards and started rotating, the empty spirit stones started appearing on it. The spirit stones are a bit active as the energy drawn from the three cylinders on the side was used.
Sam is controlling everything with his thoughts.
After the initial activation, the three orbs from the cylinders moved upwards and disappeared as they entered the machine through the connection between the block and the cylinders.
At the same time, the whole top surface of the machine is glowing.
Soon three human silhouettes appeared on top of the circular surface and the glow on the surface changed a bit, it is not even now as it was concentrated on the three silhouettes on the surface.
They looked like miniature creatures and they slowly grew in size as they rotated along with the surface and after they stopped growing, they channeled the energy to the empty spirit stones.
The stones started becoming active and when the activation is completed, the three silhouettes started molding the active stones, they moved them together and started molding them by merging them first and channeling the energy into the lump.
The three silhouettes worked like that and soon it turned into a cylinder. At this moment, Sam took out another space jade and replaced the one that was already placed in.
Soon the white liquid started coming out of the sides of the circular groove created when the circular surface moved downwards and entered the cylinder.
Finally, a cap with a bunch of inscriptions and protrusions came to the top of the cylinder as the three silhouettes worked together.
Sam removed the palm and three silhouettes turned back into orbs and entered the cylinders.
The three cylinders with energy liquid have some change as some of the liquid disappeared, but it was only around two to three percent and not anyone could have noticed it.
Sam picked the cylinder in the middle and the circular surface was back to its original state.
This is the production unit for the cylinders.
But this is still not enough for mass production, because it is too cruel and too evil even for Sam.
Because the silhouettes are actually the souls of the three formation masters of the Night Demon family.
At first, he tried to use some spirits from the enchantment technique, but with his current level, he couldn't find the skill spirits that would be able to complete the progress. So, since he is going to kill them anyway, he decided to use the souls for this.
Even though, he is cold-hearted, for some reason he couldn't help but feel a bit reluctant to reveal this to others.
If by any chance the later generations discover this method, he is sure that the people with talent would be harvested and used for the production of these liquid containers.
Particularly when they get to know what the liquid energy and the inventions that he made that requires these liquid containers.
He knew it is kind of hypocritical for him to kill his enemies and use his souls for his own gain, but thinking that it is evil for others to do the same.
But the thing is he doesn't want to be the reason for others to be that evil and didn't want the responsibility of indirectly causing so many deaths when he has the means to stop it.
If he is the same guy as he was in the past, he would have left it as it is, but now he doesn't want to.
This invention although a great and efficient one is merely an experiment, there is no way it would see the light and be used by anyone other than himself.
