《The Crawford's Multiverse of Madness》Chapter 257 - Using The Automatic Calibrator
Advertisement
Zeel stood in front of the entrance to the tomb for ten minutes, not moving an inch. It wasn't for his lack of trying to enter the tomb, but the constant strength that would be sapped from him the nearer he was to the tomb.
Luckily, the problem had an immediate solution. Zeel was analyzing the runic marks and symbols present on the stone that once blocked the entrance to the tomb.
Zeel was fully prepared to enter the tomb, but his intuition warned him to think twice. Zeel felt irritated at being so close to his goal, but having to stop and wait at every new discovery or juncture.
"Latvian Runes and ancient tongue runes of humans," Zeel mumbled gazing at the complex runic structure of the stone.
Ancient Tongue Runes were the classification given to any runic system that humans derived from other runic systems or completely on their own.
"This was not made to suppress supernatural beings; this was made to suppress everything. This series of runes draws on the concept of suppression itself," The Red Queen stated already storing the symbols in her database for further study.
There were many formations in the Homo-Superior Database that used 'concepts', but Zeel could not access any of them. Using a Homo-Superior Rune meant that it would disappear and be forgotten forever.
That was the power of the particular energy that now infested Universe 0.
Zeel stared at the runes on the rock reluctantly. It was a rare find to discover such a beautiful suppression formation that had nothing to do with an advanced civilization. Humans were capable of wonders given their slow evolutionary boundaries.
"What do we have that can contain the power within this formation?" Zeel asked, already clear about what he should do.
The Red Queen thought about the possibility, determined all positive outcomes, and instantly beamed the information into Zeel's mind. This was a more efficient form of communication, but they rarely used it.
Both Zeel and The Red Queen Were Beings that did not need to communicate openly, but they recently found a fondness for human interactions.

"That could work," Zeel said, creating circular motions with his right hand.
Normally, Zeel could just materialize objects from his storage dimension at will, but some items required special gestures and motions.
A circular motion at exactly 67-degrees was the procedure to access specific, protected items from his storage dimension. The particular item Zeel was looking for was made during his brief time in The Ghost Rider Universe.
"Here it is… The Automatic Calibrator," Zeel said, pulling a parchment with mysterious symbols pulsing all over the surface.
The Automatic Calibrator was one of a kind due to the effort that was used in its manufacturing. Elizabeth and Zeel worked tiredly just to create one. It was a trump card to only be used in the direst of circumstances – now was such a time.
Should Zeel enter the tomb without proper preparations, chances are he would die inside. As with all things supernatural in nature, Himiko's tomb was a totally different experience the stronger you were.
Strength gave wisdom, wisdom gave a unique perception, and a unique perception meant that even something as simple as crossing a chasm could be made into a complex, multi-step process.
"So many variables, all the fucking time," Zeel cursed.
The Red Queen did not reply but a sarcastic thought entered her mind that she quickly hid.
'Welcome to my life,' she thought.
Zeel pressed the parchment against the stone and felt his mind scatter for a moment. It was an indescribable sensation that did not exist within the 3rd Dimension.
Luckily, Zeel had a perspective that transcended just the 3rd Dimension.
Zeel soon recovered and kept the suppression energy under control.
Lightning gathered above the entrance and began striking downward. Zeel waved his hand as a Gravitational-Ball formed a makeshift Faraday cage in an instant.
Only, this faraday cage came with reverse-polarity induction to keep the accumulated charges at a specific location on the cage.
Luckily, the lightning called down by the acquisition of the runes were not mystical at all.
The symbols on the stone squirmed and then wiggled towards the parchment. Zeel could feel his hand burning but still held the parchment firmly in place.

After the parchment had collected all the runes on the stone, Zeel placed his hand on the cage that covered him, effectively transferring the electrical charge remaining on the cage into his body.
Using that same charge Zeel held the parchment above his head and directed the lightning directly into the parchment causing it to flicker with electricity before catching fire.
Within two minutes, the parchment and suppression runes were gone, and the heavy feeling on Zeel's chest was lessened by a great degree.
An invaluable resource had been wasted but luckily, The Red Queen stored all necessary information within her database. Zeel could recreate the formation at a later date with little issue.
Still, it would take both him and Elizabeth working in tandem to create another Automatic Calibrator.
Zeel exhaled a deep breath as he felt some of his lost energy returning to his body. With a wave of his hand, the Gravitational-Ball liquefied and disappeared into his storage ring.
There was no need to delay any longer, Zeel walked towards the tomb's entrance and into the darkness. There was no hesitation in his actions, just the overwhelming need to set right, something that was a blight on the Homo-Superior Heritage.
Even with all his precautions in place, the moment Zeel entered the tomb, he felt weakened once more. There was no way to be sure about who made the tomb, but it was obviously made to make sure that everyone who came in, did not make it out.
His intuition was also eerily silent for the first time in a while, and this made Zeel all the more suspicious of what could occur inside the tombs.
Zeel felt dizzy and then the sudden sensation of falling assaulted him. He quickly tried to use his Gravitational-Balls to form a rope but his attempt ultimately failed. The balls malfunctioned for a split second.
Then he urged the nanites to create anti-gravity boots but also miserably failed. The nanites were instantaneously closed off the moment he began to fall.
At the last moment, Zeel managed to hang onto a nearby rope. This was the rope Mathias, Lara, and the others used to slow their descent. However, he seemed to grab the rope just a bit too late.
*Pop*
Zeel slammed into the ground and groaned in pain. Luckily, he landed on the dead body of a soldier who also suffered a similar experience, only the soldier was not as lucky as Zeel.
Now inside the tomb, Zeel felt he was getting weaker and weaker, but the sensation was still bearable.
The entire ordeal irked Zeel some more. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed that this tomb was made for a specific range of supernatural Beings.
Zeel groaned as he struggled to pull himself up off the dead body. The blood smearing his nanite-clothing dissolved instantly. The force of the fall was not enough to kill him but, in his weakened state, it was enough to be some major injuries.
Still, there was a much more pressing matter at hand.
"What the fuck can suppress Homo-Superior nanites and The Crawford Family's Gravitational Balls?" Zeel cursed sensing something very peculiar about the situation.
One had to know that the Gravitational-Balls were an artifact of the Crawford Household. Artifacts were objects that could function within every Universe because they held special meanings and concepts.
Specifically, an artifact from Universe Zero could only be suppressed by another artifact of Universe 0, or an artifact from an origin Universe…
Thinking up until that point, Zeel glanced around the cave and noticed massive pillars with strange carvings. The pillars were old and withered but still held a certain majesty.
Complex codes started flickering across Zeel's pupil, deciphering and translating the symbols that loitered the huge pillars.
After finishing the translation, The Red Queen and Zeel were both appalled at the complex, runic structures within the tomb.
Zeel and The Red Queen had the same thought for a moment.
"Fuck!"
