Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Sam observed the whole setup. It is just a combination of some formations that are good at toning down the temperature.

He used the energy vision to see how dense the spiritual energy is and couldn't help but feel surprised.

This Lava is the richest fire elemental energy source he has ever seen in this realm. He didn't see a single volcano on planet 1 or planet 2 so this is understandable. But this lava is actually hotter than the lava he saw in the Naga Loka.

It is hotter than the Lava in the lake of the Volcanic region of Naga Loka.

Sam took out a bar of metal and placed its tip in a smaller empty pool.

The tip started melting as soon as it came into contact with it.

This is a high-grade metal that could be used to make armors for a Pre-transcendent stage cultivator and it melted this easily.

The heat is unbelievable. If a properly skilled blacksmith is here, he can use it for forging purposes, but that person has to have a mind for the temperature and should know how to use the temperature to his advantage.

But if it is a normal casting process. Just melting the metal and pouring it in a mold, then this place is a great place for them. All they had to do is know how to make use of the heat of the lava without making the metal directly coming in contact with the Lava.

This place is good for training the fire elemental users too.

It is just that it is not really feasible in the near future.

Sam couldn't possibly let his students train here for now. He can make some powerful artisans come here. But not the students.

Currently, his thoughts are racing.

This is a great resource, but he couldn't really take advantage of it in a long term. But he can at least use it to think of a solution for his short term goal.

He is thinking of all the possible ways to make use of it and make the best deal with the sirens.

He kept on thinking while he walked back to his temporary residence.

When he reached the street of his residence, he met with Varien.

"Hello, are you here for me?"

Sam asked as he observed the gloomy mood of Varien.

"Actually yes. I am here to apologize."

"Oh? Is it about the thing in the street? I apologize for the property damage too. But I couldn't just let them go before sending the message."

"No, don't apologize, please. In fact, I should thank you for sparing them. I will try my best to not let them trouble you again."

"That would be good. It is hard to hold back and it will only get harder with time."

Varien was a bit stumped but still nodded his head.

"I heard you went to see the volcano. Do you have any ideas?"

"I do actually. But there is one problem here. You definitely know how elves would react if I were to sell weapons to you from the surface. That industry is coined by the factions and they wouldn't let a person like me butting into this business and particularly not when what I would be selling you are some special weapons.

I don't know if the elves would change their target and come for you after they dealt with the sea folks. Honestly, I don't care if another war happens, but I don't want to be in the middle of it. Supplying the two sides is a bit of a stretch.

And the elves wouldn't leave, they would probably kill me if they had the slightest idea of what we are discussing right now. After all, the only advantage they have over you is that the weapons you use right now all came from them. You don't have skilled artisans in that area.

If I come into that picture, I would be stuck in the middle having the whole realm against him and unfortunately, I cannot live underwater forever."

Varien went into deep thought. He could clearly understand what Sam is thinking and he knew for a fact that what he said is entirely possible. He would be lying if he said that Sam doesn't have any threat to his life.

But they really need this.

At this moment Sam continued.

"I have a way out of this actually, but you cannot let this be known to anyone and I need to meet the people who are in charge of the Sirens, the upper echelon. Only they can make the decision and I need their complete reassurance before I do anything.

I would like you to go and meet them and say my requirements and please stress the fact that the price will be high. In fact, it would massive. We can decide if we can cooperate after the meeting.

It wouldn't look too good on my part if I don't give anything for you to think. In three days, I will make a prototype and you can ask them to come for the demonstration and they can decide to have a meeting."

Varien thought for a moment and said.

"I will talk to them about it."

He turned around and left.

Sam went back into his residence and started working on his new product.

This a bit similar to a harpoon gun. Except for the spear, the cable, and the trap will be gone.

Instead, they are going to shoot something else.

He didn't even make a new one from the scratch. He picked a harpoon gun apart and started making the adjustments.

But after testing it a bit, he was a bit stumped. It would definitely work, he even checked it in the simulation of the second floor under various conditions. But if a person is surrounded by too many, then the problem would arise and this weapon is more of an attacking mode than focusing on defense.

He started thinking about how to rectify that.

The alternatives proved to be a bit difficult.

The most direct and best option for defending against the spikes that come from all the directions is clearly armor with an inscribed formation.

But that wouldn't work here. This is underwater and the sirens are only specialized in water elemental control. But the spikes are also great against the water elemental control. They are directly negating it.

Sam even created a water elemental defensive formation around the pool and let the sea urchin release all the spikes at the same time, the spikes flew right through the formation no use.

This might work against the harpoons, but not the urchins.

He has to think of something else.

After some thought, he still stuck with the armor, but this time he didn't create the formations.

He added something else instead.

It also worked with the canisters filled with compressed air.

But it is a bit too sensitive and he has to pad it with a lot of formations so that wearer wouldn't be affected by it.

For the first day, he worked in the divine dimension and for the next three days, he went into the sea to test the equipment practically.

By the night of the third day, the equipment worked and reached its desired target.

He was really worried that he wouldn't be able to make it.

The next day, the demonstration was held and to Sam's surprise, there are not many people there for the demonstration.

Most of the people that came are actually Transcendent level cultivators.

They are not the true decision-makers.

Only one Consummate level cultivator came and he is also a bit reserved. Varien didn't even introduce him.

Varien is a bit embarrassed as he spoke to Sam.

"I am really sorry, the upper echelons are not actually united and even the people that are supporting this are a bit under pressure and they couldn't make it here because of some reasons?"

"Reasons? What would that be? I don't want to be disrespectful, but you are not being fair either. I don't know who you are working with and you guys are not even sure if you want to work with me and here I am risking my life just to be here. This is not exactly a fair exchange between us.

Can I ask? Just how many people have decision-making power here?"

Varien just stayed silent.

"From your expression, it seems like no one is here.

Even though I am a single person, we are working as equals in this partnership, show some sincerity.

Anyway, I would just deal with the current situation for now.

But don't think that this would go without any consequences."

Sam didn't speak after this and all of them swam towards the area infested with the sea urchins.

But while swimming there, Sam has a smirk on his face. Even though he spoke about not liking this attitude of the sirens, he actually didn't care much.

At the end of the day, it is just a business deal. So, as long as the transaction was proper he could give two fucks about their attitude. But he has to get the most profit in every transaction and this attitude helps him even more.

He would use this as a stepping stone to gain more from them.
