Chapter 420 SINNER
Under the Jade Emperor's decree, the entire One Heaven world was in locked down, activating a Crystalisis Grid Around the planet, meaning no aircraft could fly inside nor could leave as the culprit was still in large. Especially, the entire Forbidden City was in curfew. Thousands of troops marched the golden streets and also the air traffic in a well-discipline standard drill.
A Crystalisis Grid was a Grade ten protective shield designed using the integration of super nano-technology, solar fusion reactor core and a super chip made with magical stone and complex coding that was ever existed known inside the vast Sanctuary. By the current grading, Grade one was just the start and grade ten was considered a pinnacle level of the current technology. It was transparent and had the function to cut off every sort of telecommunication and also crippled any sort of Spatial Manipulation skill; which meant unless this grid system was deactivated, no one was leaving or entering the One Heaven World. As the name suggest, it was one of the pinnacle level technology designed and constructed by Crystallizer clan and offered it to Jade Emperor as a gesture of their fealty, three decades ago.
Magical stones were mined from the ground enriched with Dragons' veins (so named as they were mostly in the shape of dragons). They were the most purest, volatile and highly enriched natural energy; that could be used by any creatures to strengthen themselves and there were also other myriad ways of using these crystal stones. It was believed that these stones were formed from the essence bloods of some Godly creatures from outside the Seventh Realm, which was not.
Hashan, the Jade Emperor, tried every tricks in his sleeve either using all the Crystallizers technologies, and wits of Elder Council of the Nine Lives Cat Clan to comb through the vast expanse of the One Heaven World. Unfortunately, they couldn't even find a single clue of where Gildamoore, the Shadow Dragon is. Therefore, Jade Emperor and his large entourage stormed back to his palace to reformulate their next phase of plan.
Sitting on the high throne, Hashan asked, "My Good elders, it's been almost two weeks and we haven't found a single clue about that petty thief's whereabout. Anyone, wish to add on this. Please, carry on." Whether it was just an act or not, he still managed to sit in his usually cold demeanor with no care for anything at all.
An elder from the Nine Lives Cat Clan, stood forward and pronounced his opinion in a curtsy manner, "Your Majesty, we've employed all the possible means; the scanning and surveillance of the Crystallizer failed to find any of his moment. And their report suggest, either he has an impeccable, legendary level Disguising and? Vanishing technique to outwit even the God Eye Scanning of the venerable Elder Buffo of the Three Eyes Monkey Tribe."
"So, what do you suggest?" asked Hashan.
"With all due respect, sire, this was not the first time and would not be the last, Gildamoore has used this skill." After a pause, the Elder Cat further added, "From my reliable sources, it was explicitly detailed he'd once caused a serial hauls in the Kuk-long World, and it was such a mess that it even caught the attention of Shuilong, the Azure Dragon King and also his father. And he also succeeded in capturing the petty thief." He was interrupted midway as Hashan raised his palm signaling him to halt his speech.
"Meaning, you want me to capture the Dragon King and forced him to catch his youngest son again. No, I'll not do such thing. It's beneath me. And this would reflect poorly on us, and the Legion Of the Gods. Alright, you can return to your seat, Elder San," Hashan gestured his hand toward the empty seat, which was previously occupied by the very said elder San. Shaking his head in disappointment, he asked, "Any more to add?"
As his voice chimed, the throne-room entered a phase of an absolutely, awkward silence. Every of them turned their heads to each other. The awkward silence ensued in the hall was ended as the usually silent Cat Patriarch cried, "Meow-meow!"
Actually, unlike any members of his Nine Lives Cat Family, Patriarch Cat was in an actual adult cat form with nine tails, raising like a peacock's plumage, his furs all black.
"Patriarch Nine Live, do you've any good suggestion?" Hashan inquired.
"Hmm, Jade Emperor, I've a simple suggestion for such simple search party." Then turning his head toward all the elders of his clan one at a time, he started scolding them. "I'm really disappointed with you lots, buffoons. The answer is already in front of us but fail to see it. Huh! This's really frustrating."
"Oh my goodness, have you lost your mind to utter such nonsense in this court? That too, in presence of His Majesty, the Jade Emperor. If you so wish to discipline your brethren then you can do later at your place. So, mind you, Old cat. Just quite your squabbling and spit it out the simple idea you're muttering about," shouted Droggo, the baldy Monk.
"Meow-meow! Hahaha, here we go again. Hey, bald donkey, do you've a death wish?"
"Alright, let's see who'll be the goner, here." The beefy, all muscular monk stood up, ready to fight the cat any moment whereas the black cat didn't shy away as he cried shrilly, ready to pounce, any moment. It seemed they've some beef between them.
"Enough, both of you. Right now, I've little patience. So, regardless that both of you're my seniors, I consider keeping your manners." Hashan, the Jade Emperor announced,? "Patriarch Cat, you can carry on!"
Making a scowling face, Monk Droggo returned his behind on his seat. On the other hand, Patriarch Cat continued, "Sire, since this nasty villain was once the envoy, so I suggest you to use the Empress and tract him down by activating and using the Crescent Moon tattoo, she'd marked on his forehead."
Just as the empress was mentioned, all the other elders except for those members from the Nine Life Cat Family, shouted against the idea of using the Empress as they all knew, the reason they'd to apprehend the Shadow Dragon in the first place, was because of her scandalous affairs with the dragon.
"Hmm, that's really a good plan. Well, later, I'll meet the Empress and ask her opinion." Then Hashan ended the session. "Alright, I adjourn today's meeting here." Then he scuttled out of the hall.
A few hours later, the hunt began and only this time, the furious Empress Minerva joined the hunting party with only reason to end her disgrace, hoping to gain some penance.
For the vast expanse of the Seventh Realm, the sense of direction was done in reference to the Pangolin Galaxy; a galaxy in the shape of a pangolin, lying exactly at the center-most point in the realm.
In the easternmost space of the Seventh Realm lies the Eastern Ridge Worlds; more like a cluster of five hundred and sixty nine habitable worlds within the Eastern Ridge Galaxy.
Among these cluster of exoplanets, One Heaven Planet was the most populous planet, revolving around a Yellow Sun Star called Oracle; collectively belonging to the Tancent Solar System; ten planets, and several other natural satellites? of each planets. At the beginning, only One Heaven Planet was the habitable planet. However, after the end of the war, the Jade Emperor of the time requested the assistance of the Crystallizer Clan to transform the other planets and their moons into habitable one.
The current One Heaven Planet was a highly advanced world; grading wise it was a Grade Seven World, a byproduct of the assimilation of magical and scientific advancement. In short, an impenetrable world of fortress. Ocean constitutes 79% whereas the remaining 21% constitute land.
The landmass was mainly comprises of three major continents; central continent, eastern continent and lastly, the western continent. And there was also clusters of their islands. Among 667 super mega cities, Forbidden City was consider the metropolis city.
In a town name Angami, which was around 59 kilometers away from the south-east of the Forbidden City, the populous here were mostly professed in illegal activities as a source of their livelihood unlike the Forbidden City which home to Jade Emperor and his entourage. As usual, night life in this town was always boisterous as all sort of people of different races, including beasts came to enjoy the night; as they'd lot to offer— prostitutions, gambling, underground battles, drugs and so on, which were banned at any other places. So, crimes and thieveries were more like normal thing in this town. Still, without a special tokens , outsiders were abstained from even setting a single foot inside this town.
After the scandalous event of the Empress, almost all the places in the Central Continent was locked down, but not this town. And it'd been a week since the unfortunate event which was unbeknown to the public, what they learned was that an envoy name Shadow Dragon had committed a great sin to infuriate the Jade Emperor and still absconding, evading all the searches. Some citizen praised his ability whereas some blame the royal guards for their negligence in apprehending a sinner.
