1040 Self-Detonation

Location- Southern Region, Blossom District, Sun blossom city, Sewers
“Interesting idea, I believe you would not suggest poisoning the entire sewer tunnel unless you have the high-grade poison you speak of,” Gray Fur said to Flower thief, hearing his crazy idea to poison the entire sewer system of the sun blossom city.
“I do,” Flower thief answered with a sinister smile then summoned a canister filled with neon green poison and introduced it to his teammates without waiting for them to ask, “This the poison extracted from the SS-rank Dragonviper. The best thing about this poison is that it has no presence. So even if flood the entire sewer system with it, the semi-demigods of the two factions will not even feel it until it was too late.”
“I have heard of the lethality of the Dragonviper’s poison, even though it is popular because of its traceless nature not many use it because it is highly corrosive and has the risk of corroding any material less than its grade which acts contrary to its traceless nature. I bet that the canister used to store the poison is an SS-rank ingredient by itself. If we were to release this poison within these tunnels, it will corrode the walls and foundation of the sewer tunnels, which has the risk of the enter sewer system collapsing on itself because of the corroded infrastructure. Which would easily gather the attention of the semi-demigods of the other two factions. So, I believe we should think something else,” Gray Fur’s teammate advised against flooding the sewer tunnels with poison.
“Come on, people don’t go soft on me now,” Gray fur said hearing his teammate advising the rest of them against the flower thief’s idea.
“Gray Fur, I am begging, please be smart about this. We don’t need to be this cruel. We can think of something else,” Gray fur’s teammate begged Gray Fur to reconsider.
“I am sorry, it is not like I have any choice in this matter,” Gray Fur rejected his teammate’s plea as he glared at the Flower Thief. Now that Flower thief had put this idea out in the open, it means this moment has already been witnessed by Matron, whom he believed to be monitoring their memories.
“Fine, help me contact Matron. I will change her mind,” Gray Fur’s teammate asked Gray Fur to help him get in contact with Matron so that he can change her mind about poisoning the entire sewer system of sun blossom city.
“Old friend, you and I both know, that is impossible. Please don’t make things hard for yourself,” having served Matron for decades Gary Fur knew that what his teammate was asking was impossible.
“That’s it, you are not even willing to give it a try. How can you be so heartless? We are speaking about millions of innocent lives here,” Gray Fur’s teammate did not seem to be willing to take a no regarding the matter.
“Stop, don’t say another word. Swallow whatever you are thinking, and bury it in a dark corner of your heart. Otherwise…” Gray Fur knew that what his teammate was thinking was bordering Matron’s bottom line so he advise him to stop but before he could finish he was interrupted by the light emitting from his body.
“I am sorry but this is where I draw the line,” Gray Fur’s teammate decided to detonate himself within the space of the Empty beast hoping that he would be able to stop them from going through with the plan of poisoning the entire sewer system by killing them all.
Even though Gray fur’s teammate’s idea appeared flawless, he underestimated the capability of Matron, before he could go through self-detonation she had wiped his memory clean and sent him into a forced coma, something best explained with the words, factory reset.
Seeing one of their teammate about to self-detonate within the narrow space of the empty beast, all of them panicked. Especially Flower thief, who was stunned out of panic forgetting that he could just throw the rouge teammate out of the empty beast’s space. Fortunately, Matron had quickly reacted otherwise, all of them would have died here today.
Soon, Gray Fur’s grimoire rang, notifying him of an incoming call, it was the Matron. Despite still being in shock because of what just transpired, Gray Fur hurriedly answered the call not wanting to keep Matron waiting even for a second.
“Turn on the speaker,” Matron ordered. Following her order, Gray Fur immediately turned on the speaker option of the call.
“Flower Thief, good job on thinking of the solution for killing the pest.” the First thing Matron did was compliment Flower thief on his idea.
“… T-thank you, madam,” the Flower thief who just had faced a near-death experience was still out of it, but still managed to respond to Matron.
“As for the rest of you, let this be a moment of lesson for you. Gray Fur, don’t delay it any longer, put the plan into motion,” After warning the rest of the team members, Matron then ordered Gray Fur to go through the plan without delaying it any further and then hung up the call.
“Yes, your highness,” Gray Fur responded respectfully even after Matron hung up the call not just because he was a huge kissass instead he knew that Matron was monitoring their actions in real-time through their memories.
Gray Fur wasn’t the only one, the other two with the exception of the Flower thief also did the same. Even though unlike Gray Fur earlier they didn’t suspect that Matron was monitoring their moments in real-time through their memories, after witnessing one of them being forced into a coma just at the right moment, they knew that their every action and thought was under the surveillance of Matron. So they became more cautious of how they acted and what they thought. As for the Flower thief, his ego was inflated being praised by Matron in front of everyone.
