Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

"How about I use your simulator to show you the visuals from there?" Gail offered after some thought.

"We can try that. But the simulator only gives out your perspective. I think it would help if I have a new one.

Anyway, let's give it a try. But use the perspective of your spiritual sense if you can."

"Will your simulator be able to handle that?"

"As long as it can be pictured in your mind, it can show it. Let's see how it goes."

Gail was very excited to try the simulator. He almost behaved like a little kid as he put on the helmet and started visualizing everything he saw within the valley with his spiritual sense.

Since it is a mental image with that sense, everything was shown in a very complex way. After all, the spiritual sense observes everything. Including the things that are not visible to the naked eye.

It is like a complex wireframe picture and even the small objects like leaves and stones are wireframed.

Gail is amazed by what he saw. Sam on the other hand focused mostly on the details as he went through any possible unique object that he might encounter.

But even after an hour, there is not much he could get from. The grass, trees and rocks, everything appeared normal.

In fact, it appeared so normal that it surprised Sam.

After all, a creature like Sonic Cat is obviously not going to set up its residence in some mediocre place. Even if it is any other creature of that cultivation level, they would definitely pick a place that has something special. A special resource that offers something.

It might just be a resource that focuses on their pleasure, food, strength, nourishment. Whatever it is, they will just pick a place with at least one resource.

And Sonic Cat is very picky and it trains like crazy. It trains for days at a time without even showing any restraint.

This makes the cat focused on some specific things that help its training. It is focused on the strength and battle prowess so much In fact, it would reject a godly resource if it solely focuses on increasing the cultivation.

It doesn't mean anything to the beast, as long as the resource somehow helps it to stand at the top amongst its peers.

Sam doesn't believe that the information in the bestiary is wrong after all these years.

But no matter how much he looked at things, he cannot find anything strange.

Then he finally found a spot to focus on.

The waterfall.

For some reason, Gail didn't use his spiritual sense on the water wall and the cliff that the water is falling off.

"You never went past that?"

He asked directly.

"No. I haven't."

"You never used your spiritual sense on the waterfall and the cliff too. Why?"

"Most of the time, the battle only reached the lake and I would bounce back immediately. We never really reached the waterfall."

"But even then, you should at least be curious right? With all the time you spent there? Were you never curious about the waterfall?"

"I was, but I didn't get any chance to look past that spot."

"Why?"

"Well, I just go there, attack, fight, lose, recover and come back. That's it. I just figured there is no use roaming around and looking into things too deeply and the cat is not escaping or doing some extremely agile and dodgy fight to move around a lot.

We mostly stay within a certain space."

Sam sighed and said.

"Just how involved are you with this creature? You are so focused on beating it, you didn't even bother to look at the surroundings?"

Gail just shrugged.

Sam thought for a moment and said.

"Are you free tomorrow?"

"No. I am going for corpse hunting for you."

"Okay, then please go back there the day after tomorrow and this time, try to approach the waterfall. Something is definitely wrong there and I feel the waterfall might be the reason for that."

"I will check it."

Sam went back to his work and so did Gail.

The next day both got involved with their own work.

The day after that, Gail went back to the Sonic cat's place. But this time, he didn't take anything to it.

The cat looked at him with anticipation and he looked at it with a shrug and said.

"The next gift is in the making. I can't give you anything today."

*meow*

It replied lightly and just went back to hug the bolster seeing that Gail doesn't seem to be in the mood to fight.

It let him stay there.

Gail casually walked around and reached the lake.

He looked at the waterfall as he took in the faint splatter of it.

He felt relaxed for some reason. While he stood there with his eyes closed, the sonic cat looked at him with focus.

It didn't even care about the bolster and just kept its eyes fixated on Gail.

Gail sensed this vigilance, but he slowly extended his spiritual sense towards the waterfall and as it spread across the lake, the cat stood up and slowly walked towards him.

He instantly spread the spiritual sense to the waterfall to take a look and observed that there is a cavity in the cliff right behind the waterfall.

But right before he could observe more, the cat leapt towards him.

Gail stopped the scanning and turned to the cat that looked vigilantly at him.

It started attacking and the battle proceeded as before.

"Why are you getting so angry about this? I am just curious about where the water is coming from."

The cat looked at him and shook its head.

"You don't want me to take a look?"

The cat nodded this time.

"Why? Did you hide some secrets there?"

The cat once again shook its head and leapt at him trying to attack.

"Come on, we are just having a conversation. You cannot just attack me like this. At least, confirm why you don't want me to take a look there? Is that place dangerous?"

They stopped and actually nodded.

"So, are you trying to not let me see inside because you want to stop me from entering into danger or do you just want to hide it from me?"

Cat didn't reply and just attacked.

Gail fought with it and one and a half-hour later, he lost and walked out of the area with exhaustion and aching muscles.

He went back to the Gaja clan and met with Sam.

"I went and checked the waterfall. The cat is saying that there is something dangerous there. I don't know what it is though. It attacked me as soon as I tried."

"Did you get any more info?"

"There is a hidden cavity behind the curtain of water. But I don't the specifics. It said that something is dangerous behind and it is not saying it is some kind of secret. I asked if it is deliberately trying to hide it from me or if it doesn't want me to go and find out what the danger is.

But it didn't answer."

"Alright. Now that we narrowed it down, I will give you something that is going to help next time. But before that, I need you to give me the accurate distance estimation of the cavity you searched and the rest of the dimensions of the area.

You also need to do some specific things that I tell you to do."

"Just tell me what it is and I will do it."

With that, the preparation started.

Sam went back to one of the manufacturing units for the defensive structure and picked out something. It is actually a small puppet.

It looked like a cross between a bat and an eagle.

He started tweaking some of the formations on it and explained how this thing works to Gail before preparing him.

Along with that, Sam also gave out the third thing that the cat likes and this time it is some kind of incense.

After two days of hunting down some of the enemies, Gail went back to the cat's place.

This time, he took out a small metal pillar which gives out a concentrated scent of the flora that was put in.

No matter what it is, as long as it is a plant product it can give out the concentrated scent and when Gail explained it, the cat was extremely ecstatic. While it is playing with the new toy, Gail walked to the middle of the whole space and turned to face the cat.

He then took out the small puppet and held it at a certain angle. It is not aimed at the waterfall or the cat, it was just aimed in a random direction.

The cat is also keeping an eye on him, even though it appeared distracted. Only after making sure that Gail is not focusing on the waterfall, did it momentarily focus on the toy and Gail made a move
