Chapter 2449: Next up
Vidyuth's demand was met and not a single objection was made.
He wasn't blamed for anything and was even given praise. The plan Sam had made was being executed perfectly, while he even got to test his new toys in the field. Of course, sending a message and attracting attention of all kinds is another plus.
It's a win on so many levels and Sam was all up for it.
For the next four days, Sam targeted four other realms that were under Zeus academy control. Out of four, two could be considered their complete loss. Sam managed to occupy the majority of their territory in those lands.
As for the remaining two, one could be considered a hard win for the Zeus academy.
Sam managed to capture a few cities, but not the majority.
The last one, however was a clean victory for the Zeus academy, they managed to save the city. But the elders' desires weren't fulfilled completely. They couldn't capture the puppet or the collar or even the mosquito bots.
Vidyuth acted disappointed, however, inside he was delighted.
He didn't expect everything to go so smoothly.
Meanwhile, Sam was also glad everything went smoothly. With the way he handled things, people always thought that he was a psycho asshole who doesn't know what's good for himself. And he was just venting his angst out of his sheer arrogance that shouldn't have been there, since they he was beneath them.
Either by the virtue of their authority, birth right, position or for some even a stupid academy affiliation. Find more chapters on My Virtual Library Empire
In a way, Sam was indeed acting out his angst.
Its just that for him, even displaying his angst this way is part of a bigger plan that these people could never even dream of cooking themselves. Much less think of a way to counter it if their enemy does.
After Sam set up Vidyuth in the place that he wanted, he went to target the next Olympian academy and set up another one of his friends.
Its Philip and Hephaestus academy.
Perfect for a test run before he goes and messes with the big dogs in the third grade level. Sam checked the list and noticed that all the planets that Hephaestus touched were all mineral rich places. They didn't go for more conquests and they didn't use their lesser known members to fuck up the conquests of other academies.
At least, not until the other academies were trying to fuck up theirs.
It was always a counter measure or a strategic decision. They didn't just go there and fuck it up for the sake of it. They were so in line with the goals, that Sam was even a bit impressed and didn't want to bother them for a bit.
However, they are Olympians and Sam. The more impressive the others are, the more important it was for him to fuck them right up.
The first thing he did was pick a random realm to let another one of his new inventions to bring a disaster.
This time, he had a different toy or rather a different set of toys to play with. After all, the death energy wasn't just used for making undead. In fact, in Sam's opinion that's the most uncreative way of using it.
Now, he is testing out something else. So, the challenge is different of course.
Instead of sending out a beast, he is sending out special puppets that he made. However, the puppets this time were a lot different that what anyone at the academy knew. They weren't the usual puppets they encountered in every day life and they weren't the puppets that they had seen even in the hub or many of its virtual designs.
However, Sam is sure that they would be surprised.
This was the second stage in a new creation that had been developing for a while. Usually, inventions particularly the ones focused on disasters were easy for Sam. But this time, it was actually taking some time.
Not for the experimentation, or production, but pure ideation was taking enough time for him.
He was excited. Almost as much as when thought of the idea for creating artificial cores. He even had to tweak the attack plan a little bit before he decided to send them in.
It was simple.
He would be sending out five puppets to a city. And the city would have to send five people out to fight them. Five versus five battle. If they win, they are free to take the city. If they lose they have to give up the city.
In case they do not give up the city, them Sam will use his other means to fuck them up.
That was the deal. Or more like a demand and statement made by Sam since the other party couldn't do shit but accept it as it was.
This time though, Sam gave them something. He let them pick the order of the cities. Of course, for most people it went off as 'You can pick whatever the fuck you want, but I will anyway'
And it was mostly true. Because the city order wouldn't matter since the city was not going to be attacked. So, Sam just let them do that thinking.
They did exactly that and they came up with an order they believed was perfect. First off was the smallest and most expendable city all over the continent and they decided to stake it against Sam.
As a means to test the puppets.
The Hephaestus team was given clear orders.
'Do whatever the heck you want to do. But make sure you win and make sure you steal the puppets.'
Not just the Zeus academy, almost every single academy in the Olympian region and other regions is right now interested in Sam's puppets. The card tricks and such did catch their interest. But not by much.
Because the bird puppets were pretty similar to the ones Hub used and they coined it up to Sam's possible alliance. But the ladybug captured their greed.
Now, they want to see what puppets Sam was gonna use and what's so special that it made Sam believe that they can be used to fight against cultivators on equal footing.
