While the three family heads are discussing the situation with varying opinions, the attendants of the family heads of the blood lightning and crimson lightning family head ran in and informed something.
Both of them got off from their chairs and left the room in the middle of the discussion even when the third family head asked about the situation.
They went back to their respective family estates to check the situation.
Meanwhile back in the planet with the maze, Sam is currently grilling a steak while he talked with Noah and Akhil.
"You guys just arrived yesterday night and already caused a ruckus in your targets. You are getting bolder."
Akhil cut a piece of his steak off and stuffed his mouth as he spoke in a muffled voice.
"You are the one to talk. Your team and that guy named Argan or whatever his name is. He is going on a rampage. It is almost like he is knocking on the doors of every target he goes.
He already finished four and is almost halfway with the fifth one and the best part is, you almost have zero casualties of your main force. As soon as they are injured they are being sent back and switched.
You might be the only guy who waged this many wars and lost less than a hundred men. And every war is tense and cutthroat not just some bag of tricks and you are calling us on our boldness. The rest of the players are grinding their teeth over your work.
So, stop bullshitting us alright."
"Can't you just take a compliment when I give you? And what does winning wars and doing a quick job anything to do with the boldness of yours." Sam refuted as he brought his steak to the table and started eating along with them.
"Okay, we are here as you asked. Now, what is the support you are talking about?" Noah asked from the side calmly.
"Well, I need you guys to create as much commotion as you can in their respective home planets. I want them to be so disturbed that they should call all their forces back to their home field and I will give you things that could help you cut down the numbers." Sam replied.

"I don't think he would do that. He knows what kind of crazy pain in the ass that I can be. You should ask Dayus." Akhil said from the side.
"Alright, that's enough with the threats. Okay. I don't get anything from lying to you. You know what, I don't even care that much about these small fries. That is why I left a bunch of families for Arkiv to deal with along with one of my teams."
"Yeah, we heard of that too. Why are you spreading so much? If you spread too thin, you will tear apart." Noah said.
"But if you are strong enough you will also cover a lot. I don't want to waste too much time on the small fries."
"Even with your team and their speed, just the low-level families would take you at least three more years. And why the hurry?" Akhil asked.
"Why are you guys interrogating me all of a sudden? Just enjoy the steak and have some wine. It is a new flavor the ape made. And take your gadgets before going there and causing ruckus. As long as you don't select those guy's names on the list there is no way the families will get any information regarding the players and the game from their gods.
So, we have an advantage here. Create as much commotion as you can and when they are down by half. You can select their names and finish it off."
"I heard something about a guy stuck in the maze. Are you doing this to get him out of there?"
"Kind of."
When she was about to continue questioning, Sam brushed everything off.
"Enough with the questions, alright. I am getting frustrated by this."
With that the rest of the meal went along with some small talk and strong wine. After the meal, he gave them some of the new toys he tinkered with and sent them away to the planets of the families.
And that nigh the families became busy. Because their bars became the first targets. As soon as the bars were closed, Akhil and Noah went to one of the biggest bars in the city and set up a cylindrical device in the middle of the bar, and pressed a button on top of it before leaving silently.
The metal cylinder started spinning as it dug itself into the ground and then some protrusions came out of the surface of the cylinder from which some kind of gas started emitting out.
The spinning didn't just release the gases but also created a tornado in the surroundings and a spark created a methane storm and the firestorm that came out started melting everything and in an hour the whole bar was gone.
Everything within the site has disappeared and all the left it a burn and molten ground with a lot of smoke puffing out of it.
Even the metal pillar was molten in that and disappeared.
By the time the whole incident was noticed and reported, there was nothing left in the spot. No traces of the metals, no traces of people, and no traces of any bar ever existed.
And this is only the start.
Meanwhile, back in the planet with Maze, Sam is once again busy at midnight, and this time as soon as the maze shifted, he and Five-Elemental King made some valiant efforts to make the Saber Monarch go through the route again with the little bug.
Sam drew the map and since this time there is a whole day ahead of them, The Saber Monarch whined and bitched a lot before completing the whole round around the maze and Sam kept it away.
For the next few days, Sam did the same thing. Kept on drawing the changing the layouts on large scrolls with same scale and this went on for a week.
In this week, Akhil and Noah also started dealing with the targets properly. Their first targets are obviously business that could be used as the meeting points of the family members, such as bars and restaurants.
These business were destroyed.
As for the businesses of weapons, inscriptions and formations, they were also attacked but not a complete destruction. But a disruption to their whole practice.
Sam gave them a bunch of formation discs particularly the soul formations and made them infiltrate these businesses and use them discreetly.
These soul formations are made to control and manipulate people slowly and by the end of the week, the product quality has dropped to an all-time low.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe customers started revolting and they stayed demanding compensations.
In short, this is small-time chaos.
After this week, Sam got a basic report of progress from Akhil and Noah before he went into the divine dimension to do something.
He took out the maps he drew. There are seven maps in total and he started simulating all seven mazes inside the second floor of the divine dimension.
At first, he decided to go on a full scale. He could estimate the approximate area the maze occupied and that is never changing no matter how much it changed, it doesn't change the area it actually occupied.
After marking the area properly, he started drawing the map on a larger scale. And after finishing the whole maze successfully, he made the solid energy walls appear within the simulation.
The whole maze is now rendered into a single entity and he compressed it into a small scale and pushed it aside.
He did the same with the rest of the six mazes and now he has seven model mazes hovering around him.
After placing them side by side, he started comparing each model.
It is all a bit confusing, when placed them together as they intersected, but once he gave each model different color it became easy.
Sam looked at all the colored mazes as he aligned them together.
He doesn't know whether this process works are not, but he is actually trying to find a way to identify the energy nodes.
And he is using the possible common points of the maze.
He believed that for a formation as complicated as this and the mazes that are formed which don't have any route outside but just give an illusion of it and all the major nodes within the formation, the maze walls might originate from the formation nodes that are hiding.
In fact, they might be hiding as the maze walls.
So, if he can find the common walls and mark them down, he might be able to get at least a few nodes marked down.
