Through cameras positioned at street corners, key locations and places communed by many people, the upper governing body of this artificial planet could monitor almost everything which was taking place on it.
It didn't take long for their armored guards to find and join up with the guards of the casino in their pursuit.
Inside the commanding complex of the Gelic Alliance, the upper echelon governing body was monitoring the pursuit through the fixed cameras on the streets and the carried ones their guards were equipped with.
What they were seeing wasn't to their liking.
The joint force of guards kept chasing and trying to ambush or corner the offender but in their every attempt to accomplish any of those, they were foiled by the offender's impossible and out of the ordinary counters.
Even after announcing a hefty bounty on the offender and attracting a large number of mercenaries and outlaws present on the planet, the capture or death of the offender weren't any closer into being realized.
Not even the addition of small Urban Chasers pursuing and intercepting from the air didn't improve the situation! Their steel piercing laser guns amounted to nothing but beautiful sparks when fired at the offender.
The ones inside the monitoring center of the complex were now feeling just the same as the ones at the casino did.
They incredulously watched with their eyes wide open, and mouths hung as their guards and enticed misfits kept being sent flying over the metal bridges and above buildings' rooftops, only to be brought down gruesomely with the help of gravity a second later.
They had to witness such ridiculous scenes for some time before a chance to end their Alliance's humiliation presented itself.
In a small square, the offender has finally become surrounded from all directions. There was no place left for him to run or walk away to.
No matter the direction he chose to flee from, a mass of guards and misfits were blocking the streets and corners on the ground while the space above was filled with a flock of small Urban Chasers, all ready to charge.
Although they knew that lasers proved incapable of posing a threat to the offender, the massive numbers of those at the scene bolstered their confidence against him. If they couldn't kill him with laser guns, they would then do so by drowning him under the pressure of this army and suffocate him.
The tension in the air, both at the scene of the encirclement and inside the monitoring center, was palpitating.
Heavy breathing could be heard amongst the sea of guards and misfits. Their hands holding the weapons were sticky from the sweat as they held on to them tight and their armor felt rather cumbersome.
Inside the monitoring room, those seated were leaning forward to their desks - a subconscious act to get nearer to the screens as if they would see better that way. Those standing kept rubbing their hands together in varied ways, as to ease their nervousness about the outcome.
Everyone was either too tense or worried in these few moments that passed in silent suspense as this ridiculous and tiresome ordeal was about to come to an end. But nobody on the scene could have anticipated what came immediately after.
Despite all rationality and logic. Despite all expectations and possible outcomes. At least two thousand pairs of shocked eyes watched as the offender, who so calmly stood in the center of the encirclement, raised his arms and brought them together in a clap.
The crisp sound was deafening even across the barrier of distance, reaching the monitoring room as clear as it entered through the audio receivers of the cameras.
What truly shaken those watching to their core though was the tidal shockwave produced by the slap. The wave of pressurized air traveled in an instant in the frontal area of the offender.
Even through the cameras, one could see the wave by the visible distortions it caused in the calm air.
The shockwave traveled, and on its path the metal surface of the ground squeaked and bent in ripples, following its wavy destructive movement.
The guards and misfits who happened to be in its expansive path got pushed off the ground on which they stood, while the small Urban Chasers lost their ability to maintain their balance in the air and began wobbling and spinning uncontrollably.
A split second later, the newly airborne guards and misfits, together with the unstable Urban Chasers, all turned to dust - atomized - as the shockwave fully passed through them.
Everything that was in its wake got wiped out of the physical realm and of any kind of different existence plane there may exist in the cosmos.
After the deafening sound of the clap, absolute silence prevailed, swallowing even gasps and gulps in its unearthly embrace.
The people in the monitoring room were left speechless; not even their chiefs and heads could escape the shock after witnessing that.
The surveillance cameras were still functional, and the screens were still projecting, but no one in the room was seeing through them, not really.
They were just frozen on their seats or rooted where they stood like dead trees. Their heads were turned facing the screens and their eyes wide and fixated on them but all there was inside them was a reflection of the devastation and deep trepidation racing behind their shock to the surface.
Even as their eyes reflected the offender's new movement towards the now empty and open wide area free of obstacles, the message of the captured images couldn't travel to their paralyzed brains.
At the scene everything remained quiet as the offender began walking.
No one attempted to stop him, no one fired or moved their frozen in fear body to try and obstruct his path. No one thought or dared to even try such foolish act!
The offender walked past the encirclement and out of their sight.
As if a sharp blade was removed from their necks, the guards and misfits could breathe again, immediately falling on their knees or backsides as a numbing feeling came over their legs along with their ability to move again.
The ones piloting the remaining Urban Chasers managed to land their spacecrafts safely before they lost control of their senses and almost fainted.
One thousand and some hundred who happened to be out of the shockwave's direction and survived being vaporized, were having a breakdown of heavy breathing, tears and mucous for coming so much close to absolute death.
The Gelic Alliance mobilized all its available forces that day but still failed in their goal to execute the one who offended and insulted them on their own turf. They had even suffered casualties against that single man.
Never in their thousands of years of history did they suffer and have been humiliated like that.
They would for sure forever remember that day, for they won't stop until they find and make that man pay!
