Chapter 322 Heist
To reach the place took him a month of careful maneuvering through different bodies until he could come into position and take the body of a Guardsman, along the way he has hoped to find a suitable host to bond with, but he could not yet find any.
Besides, unlike Angels and Archangels, Suriel was a Sovereign and before he made any bond he must reach the peak of the Angelic State, after that, he must perform Origin Fusion before he could ever bond with anyone, such pursuits were still far too distant for him at this time.
Suriel had possessed more than a hundred individuals and from them, he collected memories and connections, and in less than a month he infiltrated a highly guarded zone of the Empire, where a Third Circle Dominator oversaw, and hundreds of Second Circle Dominators were stationed. This was enough power to destroy a Minor World many times over.
Countermeasures for the angels possession ability had not been shown, and it was unknown however if the Empire was even aware of this Angelic ability, after all, those possessed had died and there were little indicators to show that Angels were the cause of the troubles that happened with the Guardsmen on Jarkarr.
Suriel had been discrete, of the hundred people he possessed all gave reasons to be missing for a long time, and even if details of their movements were later investigated and revealed to be false, he would be through with his mission and long gone by then. Also, of the hundred of people he had chosen, he had only needed twelve, the rest were a smokescreen.
At this moment, Suriel was the only Angel who could possess a Second Circle Dominator, the second Sovereign was rapidly growing but he was not at Suriel's level yet.
To prepare for this operation, he had spent another three weeks creating multiple globes of plasma encased in hardened shells of metal using the metal controlling ability of the Dominator he possessed.
He had spent three weeks placing hundreds of such Metal Globes discreetly inside every part of the ship, but with every day that passed the risk of their discovery increased, luckily today was the final day and no such event had occurred. His next patrol placed him closer to the target location, and Suriel did not pause his movements, and he began to attract it over with his Angelic Authority.
His eyes coldly scrutinize his surroundings, while he pushed his Authority into a higher gear to accelerate its attraction power. For what seemed like forever but it was only a few minutes, he had it in his hands, and he breathed a sigh of relief when no presence announced itself, for his greatest apprehension were hidden eyes he was not aware of.
He waited until his shift was over and he was replaced by another Guardsman from the Boreas family who was confused about his presence but a lie about him taking his shift for his friend was all it took to sway the Guardsman, such a breach of protocol was frowned upon, but the Guardsmen gave each other a little leeway, for they knew that their task would mostly head to death.
Suriel returned to his quarters in the Battleship, where he refused the request of fraternizing with his fellow Guardsman and proceeded to lock and seal his room, pulling out many specialized sealing treasures and applying it all over the room until he effectively shut himself from the rest of the ship.
He had submitted his patrol report for review. The reports were something he could not fake, as the Rune Stone given to them would combust at the slightest hint of any tampering. With time running out, he hurried to complete his task with haste.
The creator had been in slumber for three months now, and the Astrolabe could no longer be accessed for quick movements, and so the Lady of Shadow and Frost, using the aid of her vast Spell Craft, made a teleportation device that drew from elements of both the Astrolabe and the Shadow Realm.
It did not take long for Suriel to move the item into the device and he primed it.
An alert pinging inside his armor calling for his attention was ignored. He knew his actions were circumspect, but still, it did not take long for the strangeness of his activities to be noticed after his patrol path was reviewed due to the Rune Stone he submitted showing his patrol route.
To achieve complete stealth when he arrived here, the teleportation device was left without power, and disassembled. He slowly had to place them back together over the weeks on board the ship, and until this very moment could he power it up.
The Device was in the shape of a flat piece of metallic sheet, that, although it appeared simple, was incredibly complex to put together, with more than six hundred thousand unique parts. When he had placed the item inside, it enclosed itself in the shape of a globe.
Holding the device, he began ruthlessly siphoning all the energy inside the Body of the Dominator into it. His Guardsman power armor heated up and reddened, as the internal sections of it began to melt. His body and blood began to evaporate, transformed into pure Aether and the Territory of the Guardsman began to splinter into large globes of energy that was siphoned into the Teleportation Device.
Such a massive power spike by a Dominator at the Second great circle was like a bonfire in the dark. The entire ship became aware of his position.
The process would be completed in fifteen seconds and he only had one second before all hell broke loose and descended on him, the response of the Dominators at the Second Circle was lightning fast. Fortunately, he did not particularly require this Guardsman to live, and with no hesitation, he detonated his Incarnation.
The Incarnation of the Volgim Family Guardsman was a metallic cube, and it was a strictly defensive ability, which was the sole reason Suriel chose to possess this Dominator.
