Valtor was surprised that Domino didn't notice him destroy the third technology planet, but they must really have not cared about that one. He can sense that they're not even aware that those planets are missing.

Valtor will have to start the pattern of taking essential objects again when he destroys the second group of planets. He doesn't even need to rest now. He can keep going.

The Dreaming Sharks Time! 🦈✨ ◆ 🌙 ◆ ☀️ ◆ ⭐ ◆ I've finished these three artworks of my silly shorks friends, and I hope to explore and tell the story and world I've thought up for them in more depth. 🌊✨ #Sharkfolk#sharks

Over a few days, taking time to make sure no one will show up to fight him over these planets, Valtor destroys all the youngest planets except for the third water planet, leaving that one to rest on when he needs it.

For now, Valtor will work his way through the youngest planets as his creators want him to do. He won't even need to locate essential objects for these ones. He can just destroy them without facing opposition.

Valtor knows it's only a matter of time before Domino notices that the prison planet has been destroyed. There's a chance that alone won't allow them to realize he escaped. There's an even smaller chance they'll think he was destroyed with the planet.

Valtor transports to the essence room of the prison planet and takes the essence. He can tell from absorbing it how different it is from the average planetary essence. Still, he's able to destroy the planet and transfer it to a crystal the way he usually would.

Wip update from this silly friend shorks! 🦈✨ Lineart is the part that tires me out the most, because I put unnecessary force on my wrist when I hold the pen, I always have to check myself to prevent this from happening hehe

Valtor asks his creators if he can destroy the prison planet first, explaining to them that even if Domino captures him, they'll have nowhere to imprison him if he destroys it. His creators agree to let him destroy it first.

Or maybe they'll find out sooner than that. Valtor realizes Domino will have nowhere to imprison him when they inevitably capture him if he destroys the prison planet. Now that he's off of it, he can sense where the essence is. He could destroy it without being stuck there again.
