"The space cracks there aren't the only cracks in the world," Arthur didn't buy what William just said. Even if the latter recognised the materials by linking them to the materials he saw at Lara's city, it wasn't enough to explain the look over his face when he spotted these materials.
It was the same kind of look that'd appear when someone would recognise something. Besides, Arthur was sure the materials coming out from the space cracks in the world weren't the same.
Each area would gush out different and unique sets of materials that wouldn't be found anywhere else in the world.
"First time for me to know that."
"First time for me as well to meet someone who'd recognise these materials on the spot," Arthur hinted to William that he was sure of his recognition of these materials, "all the ones protected heavily by fate and destiny aren't normal people, hahahaha!"
Arthur wanted to squeeze William to know his secrets, but he knew this wouldn't work by directly asking. He decided to wait till the formation would be activated. And if he didn't know much, he'd still keep the friendship of William, keep watching this youngster.
Arthur was sure William would grow and pull many miracles in the future. And from all this, he'd get many of this youngster's secrets.
William didn't comment again and kept his silence while watching what everyone was doing. He memorised everything and took note of every tiny detail they did.
He couldn't use his spirit sense as it was already limited like the case in the base Leo took him in before. Even if William knew it would be impossible for him to do such a formation in the tiny world thanks to the limitations of the materials, he still would do it when he'd ascend to the higher realm.
Laying down the formation wasn't a simple process. After the masters laid down the powder, they started to dig holes with different depths, lay many materials in layers, before covering the holes with dirt again.
They also kept writing weird symbols that even William couldn't understand the meaning behind. All that added more work for him and made him totally absorbed in watching what they were doing.
From time to time, Arthur would ask him to donate blood at certain places. William complied. And in a few hours, the formation was ready.
"Step outside," Arthur didn't treat Jeremy and others the same way as William, "please step in the middle of the formation."
William went into the heart of the formation while Jeremy and Leo's legion members went outside the hall. In a few minutes, the entire hall that was previously bustling with crowds got emptied.
Only Arthur with his one hundred branch members were there alongside William. "What shall I do?" William turned to Arthur.
"Nothing, just close your eyes and wait for the formation to get activated," Arthur didn't remain in his spot and went to stand in a place near William, "the formation will be controlled by us at first. But after entering into the fate and destiny world, you will take control to help us see through your fate and destiny."
"Ok," William paused, "what exactly do you want me to look for?"
He knew he came from the future and had tons of secrets that others didn't know. It'd be bad if he just let his life flash in front of everyone.
"We need to see what that enemy of yours, the other one with the fate and destiny protection, is doing. To do it, you have to recall anything related to him, and then the fate and destiny world will do the rest."
"That's it?" William was surprised about how easy it sounded.
"Of course not," Arthur shook his head, "we are going to take the toll from you. The entire formation will be activated and operated by our powers at first. The moment we are inside the fate and destiny world, the formation will protect you and us. We'll fuel it with our powers, while you do your part without any interference."
William knew that what he saw from the preparations of the formation wasn't enough to mimic it at another time. Without the special powers of these folks, without knowing what to do exactly, then what he gathered so far was worthless.
That was why they noticed what he was doing and let it pass without a comment or objection. They knew he wouldn't be able to get anything by just knowing how to establish the formation.
He wasn't that dejected. After all he intended to find a way to find talents with spirits affinity towards fate and destiny from now on. It might be a long process, but he'd eventually form his own Cult in the end.
"Let's start," as everyone stood in their places, Arthur took a deep breath before the real magic happened.
William thought the moment the grand formation would get activated, a bellow of fog would surround him and others. Yet that didn't happen. What truly happened was for bolts of black lightning to fall down the entire area, appearing out of nowhere.
The weirdest thing wasn't that he didn't get any harm or felt any discomfort. What truly puzzled him was that this lightning came without any cloud appearing. They just popped out of thin air, landed over their heads, and formed endless pillars as if the world was coming to an end.
William noticed the world starting to change and blend with this lightning, and it wasn't just an illusion. The lightning falling down kept increasing until they merged together, forming a world of their own.
The world around him started to grow black, and nothing could be heard or seen at all. He stayed in such a weird world for long minutes, even tried to shout at Arthur with no response.
Gradually shining stars started to appear. At first, they were sporadic, flashing shyly before they'd vanish fast. With time passing, these stars became brighter and bigger, ending up forming swirls together like galaxies or something.
