He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 556. Trapped 1

Currently, Kailen was on a dead planet.

He had left the imperial sector.

"Form the illusion rune arrays."

Kailen commanded his shadow creatures.

An extremely large number of shadow creatures appeared in the void.

They had all used concealment and invisibility runes to conceal themselves. They could not be discovered.

They numbered about 40,000.

The shadow creatures sat in lotus positions in the void.

The shadow creatures drew runic alphabets in the void.

The runic alphabets materialised into runes, shimmered with ethereal light, and connected to one another, forming various diagonal and hexagonal patterns everywhere. After they were done, they disappeared from the region.

"Smear the gaseous poisons across."

Another batch of shadow creatures appeared.

They released transparent, odorless gaseous poisons across the void. No one would sense them, smell them, or see them.

After that, they left.

"When the time is right, I will give a signal. When I give the signal...

"Earth law users will be on the east, darkness law users on the south, wind law users in the West."

"Lightning law users on asteroid...."

"Wood law users on..."

"Water law users..."

"Hound 1 and 2, remain completely anonymous. Look for deadly terrains, like black holes, gravity collapsing fields, and spatial distortions."

Kailen gave quick commands. He had planned everything.

Now, he waited.

Kailen made a tear in space and completely disappeared from the region. He would be observing everything through the eyes of the shadow creatures. At the moment, he was nowhere near where the traps had been planted.

The leaders of the vimodials that would be attacking were most likely at the rank 1 supreme stage dao level. This meant that he would be discovered even if he used runes to conceal himself, and he could not risk that.

If he was not careful, he would die before he knew it.

At the moment, Kailen was somewhere on a primitive planet. The planet was not known to the wider universe. He had discovered this planet as he was teleporting far away from the region where he had set the traps.

It was a growing Civilisation. The planet had humanoid lifeforms, had cars, skyscrapers, among others. It was just like earth before the interstellar era.

From the energy fluctuations of the citizens, it was most likely an A ranked evolved planet.

No one would discover him here.

Good.

Kailen was currently seated on a park bench, in a town of the planet enjoying the air and the serenity.

Very soon, a large fleet of space ships were spotted in the void. Kailen observed through the eyes of hound 3.

"Fire Law Sect," Kailen muttered. Their spaceships had the symbol of the Fire Law Sect.

"Hound 3, survey the spaceships."

The shadow hound moved, undetected.

Very soon, five 5 rank 3 supreme stage dao level lifeforms were spotted in some of the spaceships.

"Golden finger?"

"They are vimodials," The time Dilation Artifact replied.

"So my speculation was slightly incorrect. They are at the rank 3 supreme stage dao level rather than at the rank 1, and they are really vimodials," Kailen thought.

The shadow hound scanned the other spaceships.

"Rank 1 and 2 supreme stage dao level lifeforms, and intermediate stage Dao level lifeforms.

It seems the leaders are the 5 rank 3 supreme stage dao level lifeforms."

A glint flashed through Kailen’s eyes. Every conversation the leaders of the fire law Sect were having confirmed everything he had speculated.

Also according to the information, different ships had taken a different route to the imperial sector. The leaders of those troupes were at the rank 1 supreme stage dao level. As long as the empire troupes managed to stall for some time, even at the cost of great sacrifices, till the emperor managed to get to some of the old monsters of the empire in seclusion, it would be worth it.

The key leaders of the fire law Sect, the five rank 3 supreme stage dao level lifeforms were with the fleet of ships hound 3 had discovered.

Very soon, the ships got in the region where Kailen had set his traps.

Naturally, the enemy did not suspect anything.

As far as they were concerned, the empire may have been able to deal with the poison, but they were unaware of who was behind it, or the scheme at play here. There was therefore no way the emperor would have prepared any retaliation methods. This attack was a surprise attack after all.

Suddenly, several reports kept coming to the ships of the leaders.

Those at the intermediate stage Dao level had turned on one another and were killing each other.

Watching the footage of what was happening in these spaceships was daunting. Law attacks clashed everywhere. Some spaceships had even been blown apart as a result of these clashes. Several asteroids and celestial bodies in the vicinity had been destroyed as a result.

In these spaceships where sect members had turned on one another, words like...

Kill the empire bastards..

For the fire law Sect..

Follow the leaders...

...reverberated across.

That was when it hit the five leaders...

Illusions..

Someone had set traps for them..

However, the person was a rank 4 runesmith..

This was why those at the supreme stage dao level had not been affected. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

But those at the intermediate stage Dao level without rune attacks repelling artifacts had turned on another, thinking they were attacking empire troupes by attacking one another.

Did this mean that the empire knew of their planned attack?

How?

Who in the empire could have such deductive abilities?

What the hell was going on?

"We have come too far to stop," One of the leaders, Black Flask Hawker, said.

"So what if they caught on?" Another added.

"They are just trying to stall for time. In the end, the only thing that has changed is we are attacking them openly. The rest of the plan stands."

"I don’t believe they can alert those old monsters in time. News just came from those who have arrived at the empire that the empire is barely holding on. The emperor is however nowhere to be found. However, it’s only a matter of time."

"Mmm. What are a few losses on our side? As long as we can achieve our goals. From the look of the situation, the situation would have been handled by our core disciples by the time we arrive. We will just reap the benefits. Let them think they are stalling for time. It’s fruitless."

The vimodial leaders discussed among one another.

Very soon, several reports came in. Even intermediate stage dao level lifeforms wearing runic attack repelling artifacts had been caught in the illusions and were killing one another in their spaceships.

How was this possible?

Also, several individuals at the intermediate stage Dao level suddenly fell down in the spaceships with discolored and horrified complexions.

"Hallucinogenic poisons. Obviously colorless, odorless, gaseous ones.

This is the work of a highly skilled Black Flask. This person is also a highly skilled runesmith," Black Flask Hawker’s eyes glinted with realization.

So this was the case...

"You mean..."

"Kailen Darkhaven is the one behind this.." Hawker smiled, amused. This fellow was really interesting.. He had the mindset of a predator. But, he had to be dealt with. He had been a nuisance for too long.

"It seems he’s probably nearby. Perhaps, we can get him before we continue," The female gnome said.

"Indeed. Since the situation at the imperial sector is almost handled, we have some time on our hands."

At this moment, one of the leaders noticed something ahead...

"What the hell is that?"

Another questioned, "Is that a Black Hole?"
