WHIP! WHIP! WHIP!
The sounds of whips echoed across the hall.
A specialized whip that was designed to weaken the insides of the lizard's tough scales was used.
The Captains that were flogged all fell to the floor and coughed up blood.
Yet despite the painful attacks and the promise of them receiving no whips if they admitted to the crimes, none of them did.
The group endured the whips as Kyros predicted.
"Didn't even make up another lie, huh?" Calaminus laughed.
"No use in doing that. Haven't you noticed? Some Champions have left the room as fast as Gojirrah did. They must be trying to fix and cover up whatever crimes linked to Gojirrah did."
"Grand Master Alchemist. We are ready." The Champion spellcaster finally spoke. When it was agreed that he would help Kyors, he got nervous and asked help from Middle Claw to help him go over the steps that Kyros might ask him to do.
The pair practiced while waiting.
Kyros nodded and stood up. He turned towards Reptilia, who was still standing up. Her face was white as a sheet, but she adamantly placed a strong front.
Kyros smiled and gave her one last look before moving up the Operating Table.
As the group saw Kyros move, they all exclaimed and began to summon those still outside.
"It's starting!" An alchemist cried to call to his friends who were outside, discussing what they had just seen.
Komodo Dragon was so excited that he ignored the complaints of the Captains and Champions.
"Commander! As you can see, that Gojirrah is lying!" A Champion urged.
But the Commander ignored him and went towards the Operating Table.
"Begin," Kyros spoke and placed his palm on the Energy Conversion Circle.
The entire room fell into silence as Kyros did that.
Commander Komodo and the Champion Spellcaster followed suit.
Kyros suddenly threw in a number of the ores and crystals that were on the table. Each of those ores was rare and valuable even within the land that they were.
Some alchemists even felt pain as they saw Kyros toss it in and order Commander Komodo to slice it and crush it.
But all kept silent as Kyros began to go through the three M's of the Cauldron Preparation stage.
What was amazing was the Kyros's speed was faster as he began to toss more and more ingredients. Some were being bombarded by magic by the Spellcaster, while the other ingredients were being worked on by Komodo.
The speed of each ingredient passed on from one elemental core to the next, and the speed of the circulation grew fast.
Komodo and the Champion Spellcaster began to sweat as they followed Kyros. But though Kyros's speed was getting faster and faster, they did not disturb him. Kyros had fallen into a strange trance state.
Calaminus saw it and smiled.
"Now you're an alchemist."
Kyros had fallen into a state of great concentration. Nevertheless, his first attempt in alchemy and using his Path of Foresight and Path of Molding allowed him to solidify the theoretical discussions and practically apply them.
On his first try, Kyros went with what he knew and went along with the step-by-step instructions he knew he should follow to create the alchemy weapon.
But now, more of the things that Calaminus talked about surfaced. Kyros was afraid to test out the concepts, and theories he was not confident of doing were finally being done now. And most of the basics that Kyros learned were being arranged and applied by his Soul Console.
With the Soul Console taking care and prompting his body to give the basic orders, Kyros was able to immerse into the art of creation.
The alchemist watching marveled at the scene.
Those that saw the first alchemy grew even more amazing.
"His... his style! It's changing!"
"What is this?! All of this is new! I'm too slow to keep up with his preparation!"
"It must be because of Commander! Commander could keep up and produce more power that gives Grand Master Alchemist the freedom to move faster!"
Reptilia was amazed at what she saw. However, she could not help but feel a sense of bitterness as she could see the great disparity of her limits as to what Kyros could actually achieve.
It only took a few minutes, and the cauldron preparation stage was done.
But this time, there was no brew being made. Instead, the ingredients inside the cauldron were divided into several partitions, each with a certain set of crushed ores and certain ingredients.
The alchemist was growing more confused. It was the first time they had seen such a strange arrangement and that there was no stock present.
The ingredients continued to be placed one layer after the other.
Floating above the cauldron were also several ingredients that were placed.
The number of precious ingredients that Kyros were using was staggering, but many kept silent.
Because if what Kyros said was true, a weapon that can hinder the Force energy of all cultivators could turn the tide of war. Hundreds of Captains and even those at the Champion level would instantly fall with a carefully planted alchemy weapon like this.
And despite how extravagant Kyros was, none dared to question it.
Soon, all the ingredients were placed inside, and the cauldron preparation stage had passed.
Kyros had awoken from his trance and smiled at the preparations for his next brew.
"Heat the cauldron!" Kyros ordered, and the Champion Spellcaster channeled the magic to heat the cauldron.
Suddenly, a strange scene appeared right inside the cauldron. Several elemental powers exploded out, and each resonated to the nearest Elemental core nearby.
Whirling energy suddenly occurred, and a vortex of various elemental energy appeared.
Even Komodo Dragon was shocked by what he saw. The power in front of him was so familiar.
"That's...!"

"An Energy Conversion Circle?!" The Champion Spellcaster shouted in shock.
Kyros had created an energy conversion circle through the arrangement of all materials.
The whirling energy was spinning and compressing itself, and it was growing stronger and stronger than the ingredients that Komodo kept afloat through his force energy were being siphoned.
"Commander. Keep it within the center of the vortex. And prepare to seal it! You have to have the strength that can resist the vortex of elements inside. Champion Spellcaster, use your magic to maintain the vortex and keep it from expanding to the point that it would attack the crystal surrounding the cauldron.
The energies continued to spin and spin, and the Champion and Komodo did their best to follow Kyros's orders.
"Keep it steady, Commander. Champion, Please shrink the vortex through your magic force!" Kyros began to give more and more orders.
Every time there was a change in the vortex, or if the vortex were ravaging the ingredients above, Kyros would immediately order the two to change.
Soon, both the Champion and Komodo made a mistake, and the whirling vortex began to grow large.
Komodo protected the ingredients by pouring in a massive amount of Force Energy.
"It's not enough! Champions! Help! I need more Force Energy!"
"I need help as well!"
Komodo and the Champion Spellcaster shouted, and several Champions moved as fast as they could and poured their power into the Energy Conversion Circle.
"Seal it now!' Kyros ordered as the vortex grew larger and larger, and the ingredients above were being torn apart.
Komodo followed suit and focused their energy to seal the ingredients as they battled the vortex, spinning so fast that the seals for the alchemy weapon could not close in.
The crystal surrounding the cauldron began to crack, and more champions and spell casters joined in.
The Champions poured more in, and as everyone was busy trying to stop a Cauldron Explosion, Kyros poured in the last necessary elements to complete the creation.
Calaminus moved in as Kyros tapped the Circle and poured Dark and Light energy.
"Contain it!" Kyros ordered, and everyone acted to seal the explosive power.
Suddenly, a dark-bluish shine appeared in the center of the Cauldron, and the explosive power suddenly became a powerful vacuum that began to pull all the elements inside.
BOOM!
The champions could see the space inside collapsing within itself, and all the force and magic energy that the Champions had were suddenly being drained. Then, an implosion occurred in the center of the cauldron.
"Ahh!" The Champions began to stumble down as they received a painful backlash.
Even Commander Komodo Dragon knelt down in exhaustion and was drenched in sweat.
Everyone had a horrified expression as they saw the explosion, but then...
"Success! It's a success! Amazing! This is it! A mighty Alchemy weapon! A powerful Time Core!" Kyros shouted in glee.
The weak expression of Komodo changed as he stood up to looked beyond the cracking crystal.
The cauldron was destroyed as only the base remained. But right inside the remnants of the large cauldron were two strange objects.
The first was a sealed alchemy weapon. Everyone immediately knew it was the bomb. But right next to the alchemy weapon was a dark blue crystal orb. The crystal orb started to glow a blue light, but it slowly turned into a purplish light.
Kyros channeled his force energy on the circle, and the two objects flew up and zoomed towards his hand.
"Behold! A Time Core! Its wielder can perform Time Magic by pouring in Magic or Force energy!" Kyros laughed as he showed it to everyone.
"Time Core?!"
The room exploded in shock.
But Kyros's smiling expression suddenly changed into horror.
"What's this?!" It's alive!" Kyros shouted in pain.
[Acting activated.]
Dark energy erupted from Kyros' hands. The darkness felt so evil and dark that it shocked everyone.
Even Komodo didn't charge forward at the appearance of such malevolent energy.
"Help! Help!" Kyros shouted.
Gojirrah leaped towards Kyros as he had just arrived in the room and reached for the orb.
"A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON!" Calaminus's loud shout echoed through the hall as Gojirrah suddenly began to scream in pain as he touched the beacon. For some strange reason, Calaminus spoke using a feminine voice.
Gojirrah kept screaming in pain and was trying to remove the orb from his hand, but the orb was somehow creating a strange power preventing Gojirrah from releasing it.
Komodo Dragon and the Champions moved and ran towards Kyros and Gojirrah. But then...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Three explosions occurred as the Alchemy weapons were detonated.
"NO!" Komodo shouted as the three weapons assailed his senses.
Everyone in the room collapsed.
Only Gojirrah and Kyros remained standing.
"Ha Ha Ha...." Kyros began to laugh, and Gojirrah echoed his laughter. As they laughed, the sadistic female voice of Calaminus chorused with them.
"Who... Who are you?!" Komodo asked weakly. He couldn't move and could barely speak.
Kyros was extremely angry. Calaminus had already told him what to say. He didn't want to say it, but Calaminus said he would say it anyway, even if Kyros didn't follow. And Kyros had to follow because if they acted out of synch, it would ruin the lie of them being possessed by a poltergeist.
"Prepare... for trouble," Kyros grumbled reluctantly.
"And make... it double!" Gojirrah shouted with passion."
