My Space-Time System

508 Shocking discovery (part 2)

Using the locator spell, Blake went after the remaining members of the Cobra mob.

Luckily for him, Rahim and the rest were confident that Kaiser and Mandel would take care of Blake so they decided to wait for the battle to end.

So once Blake discovered their location, he let Ebony and Ivory loose on them, and thanks to 90% of them being champions it took them no effort to knock most of them out.

Once all of them were rounded up, Blake took out his communication amulet and called Prince Bryon.

“Your highness, I have invaded the Cobra mob hideout and I have captured the leader of the branch as well as other important members.” Blake said shocking Prince Bryon.

‘So quick?!’ Prince Bryon thought.

“Nice job Captain.” Bryon had a proud smile on his face as he commended Blake. “How may I be of help?”

“I don’t trust the ash corps of Duststar, neither do I trust their efficiency because I suspect they are heavily involved in everything that has been going on. I request a competent team to handle the questioning and arrests.” Blake answered.

“That wouldn’t be a problem, is there any other thing I can help with?” Bryon asked.

.....

“I will be calling Major Garret to come to pick up the mob members. So, nothing for now.” Blake replied.

The main reason he had called Prince Bryon was that the Cobra mob was the top supplier of drugs and narcotics in the city of Duststar meaning they were linked to a lot of people which possibly included Major Garret.

So by informing Prince Bryon of the current situation, he would ensure that Major Garret didn’t try anything funny when he arrived at the crime scene.

…

After close to 20 minutes of talking with Kaiser, Major Garret’s communication amulet lit up. Immediately, he picked and the moment he saw it was Blake, his heart fell into his stomach.

When Kaiser had called him, he had requested that the backup should be delayed, but that left Garret confused because Blake hadn’t requested for backup in the first place.

It was after the call that he realized what was going on. So now that he saw Blake was calling him 20 mins after the first call, there was only 1 thing that could come to mind.

Praying against this possibility, Major Garret accepted the call.

“Captain Blake, how may I be of help?”

“I have invaded the Cobra mob hideout and I have captured the leader of the branch as well as other important members. I am requesting backup to transport them back to the city.” Blake said causing Garret to feel even sicker.

“Send in your location, we would be there in no time.” Major Garret said to Blake before cutting the communication link.

“No one else knows about this so there is still a chance that I can salvage the situation.” Without wasting a single second, Major Garret began planning his next move.

There were a number of things he could do; he could kill Blake, kill the cobra mob members, or even course the hideout to collapse on itself by bombarding the mountain with demigod-level spells, but all his plans were washed down the drain when his communication amulet lit up for the second time.

It was Prince Bryon!

“Your highness!” Major Garret said with a deep bow.

“Don’t try anything funny!” Prince Bryon said before immediately cutting the communication link.

…

Once Blake was done contacting Major Garret, he made sure everyone was still unconscious before leaving Ebony and Ivory with them and moving to the hole the badgermole had come from.

Using telekinesis, Blake flew into the hole and lit the area ahead with a fireball.

He followed the path up the mountain for a few minutes and soon arrived at an Estrium crystal mine.

“It really was alone.” Blake was surprised as he found the cave empty. All the King rank beasts Blake had faced had some kind of army that they commanded.

What was even more shocking was that the badgermole inhabited a crystal mine but it still didn’t have an army.

[This confuses things a bit.] The system said.

“On the contrary, I think it clears things up and gives us something to make comparisons.” Blake said.

“The king-rank beasts located at thranium mines all had an army of different beasts that they controlled, even if by nature they were meant to be solitary beasts.”

“As for the 2 normal King rank beasts we have seen, they were both physically and magically stronger, and still behaved naturally even though one of them occupied a mine.” Blake explained.

[You have a point, but what you are implying is that thranium crystals are the cause of the beast tide.] The system said.

“It’s a bold claim but everything we have found out so far is pointing toward that direction.” Blake said.

All the thranium crystal mines that he had come across had a beast army occupying them, and the only time the occupants were of one race was when they were insects.

“I will check out Duststar’s record to confirm my suspicions. As for now, let’s return and wait for the ash corps.” Blake said as he left the cave.

…

After returning to the hideout, Blake waited for 15 more minutes before the ash corps arrived at the river bank and called him for directions into the hideout.

Once the ash corps got in, they quickly carted the mob members away, as Major Garret remained silent the entire process.

When they got back to the city, Blake wasted no time writing down a comprehensive report of the mission, while also adding the discovery of the Estrium for extra merit points.

The reason they had been attacked by the badgermole was that the explosions from the battle had woken it up from its hibernation.

He handed the report over to the ash corps units that had been teleported into the city from Calton. They were the ones to carry out the interrogations and make arrests.

After that, he accessed the city’s record and began looking into the number of discovered Thranium crystal mines, as well as their beast tides.

“This surely confirms my suspicion.” Blake said after going through all the details.

“Not only are their discovered thranium mines few, but their beast tides are nothing compared to that of Calton city.” Blake said.

[I have to agree with you on this one because if there is a place that is meant to have the most thranium mines it should be a mountainous region like Duststar.] The system said.

[So it is safe to say that the thranium crystals are the cause of beast tides but the question now is what do we do about it?] The system asked.

‘So even after uncovering the mystery, we can do nothing about it.’ Blake let out a helpless sigh, but that was when he remembered the vision he had when he absorbed the All-father’s inheritance.

“Thranium crystals are not naturally occurring, according to the vision a pink comet had crashed into infinite realm before pink lines began spreading all over the realm. That was the birth of thranium crystals!” Blake said in an excited tone.

[So how does that change anything?] The system couldn’t help but ask.

“Since thranium doesn’t occur naturally it means it spreads, which also means that all thranium crystals are meant to be connected!” Blake explained.

When a thranium mine is discovered, the ash corps would first scan the mine for its extremities. So if they were connected one mine would lead to another.

[So someone is planting them!] If the system had eyes, they would have been wide open.

“Exactly!” Blake said.

They had no clue about what made it spread or the speed at which it spread, but that wasn’t needed now.

“The main question is who is planting them, but there is only one name that comes to mind, The royal family.” Blake said.

The Royal family automatically owned and controlled all mines that were discovered within the borders of the Snyder empire. So if they mined the thranium mines, nothing stopped them from planting it in another area.

An Instagram page will soon be up for announcements and memes concerning MSTS and other future works. So anticipate!
