    ¡­


    "Ouch¡­, what are those sounds ringing in my head?" A young voiceined amid the rowdy cacophony of sounds around.


    After a fair bit ofining, Legs finally opened his eyes.


    It took a bit of squinting for him to see clearly but once he did, Legs was stunned. He was stunned not because of his environment, not because of the rowdy sound filling the background but because he was alive.


    "Huh? I thought I died, is this heaven¡­, hell no!"


    Amid Legs''s confusion at his current situation, he suddenly felt light-headed as arge amount of data started being transferred into his brain.


    Therge amount of data confused him, but it also made him remember some subtle details. Thest thing he remembered was working with the other game developers to upgrade and expand the game before everything turned white.


    Due to the increasing poprity of Dominator, thetest gen VR game, Legs and his co-producers worked on expanding the game world but unfortunately, a fire ident urred and they all died.


    In hisst moments before dying, unlike others, he didn''t regret a lot of things, what he instead felt was a curiosity for what followed after death.


    Was the story of heaven and hell real? Was life after death real?


    Well, he didn''t have to ask again since, for some reason, he was still alive and the most astonishing fact was that he was in the body of a boy who looked no older than 8 or 10 years of age.


    "Quickly! Master Legs survived the attack!"


    "Inform the Captain! Surround and protect him!"


    At this moment, Legs had a head injury which affected his concentration but he was still able to recognize and understand his current situation.


    He was currently in a war-torn zone. All around him, a group of warriors in red shed with another group in white as blood was constantly spilled.


    From the little that he saw, the red was the winning side and for some reason, he seemed to be part of the warriors in white.


    The most shocking part was not the battling warriors but the environment. The sky of this world was violet, explosions and destroyed buildings filled everywhere, this was a world set in an apocalyptic setting.


    After barely standing up, Legs ignored his head injury as he looked at the battling warriors while stunned. "Is this not the world of Dominator?"


    "But I think this is one of the beginners¡­" Legs stood up while staggering as he looked around confused. "What the hell am I doing here?"


    He suddenly touched his head as he felt a headacheing. "Don''t tell me all the drama of me dying was just a dream?"


    "I was ying Dominator all this time?!"


    Legs turned to face the other yers who for some reason looked like NPCs. "Hey, guys, what happened, and why the hell are you guys calling me Master? Also, why are your yer tags not showing¡­?"


    "Watch out!"


    Legs barely reacted on time to dodge an attack that ended up hitting one of his protectors. Unlike what he expected, this warrior did not dissipate into light particles, blood spilled and hey dead.


    Legs watched this phenomenon, waiting for the light particles to form to no avail till his face suddenly turned pale. "Did he really die? Is this a glitch or¡­?"


    Horror overcame his face instantly. "Is this real?!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Instantly after Legs came to this realization, he froze for a moment as a thousand different possibilities of his current situation flowed through his head.


    All other sounds faded into static as his extreme curiosity to understand exactly what the hell was going on took center stage.


    A world extremely simr to the VR game Dominator, with characters dying for real, and him appearing here after death, his eyes widened.


    "Was I just reincarnated into a game?"


    Legs''s brain almost exploded from the ridiculousness of his thought. He was a game producer so he was exposed to a lot of fantasy along the way, but as a certified zoologist also, he loved being rational.


    The thought of reincarnation being real and the fact that he just experienced it was so fascinating to him that his curiosity was piqued instantly.


    The loud sounds of the dangerous battle continued but he didn''t feel scared, all he felt was curiosity and an extreme desire to know how it all happened.


    As a rational zoologist, he believed that every fantasy had an exnation. If reincarnation was real, then it definitely had an exnation also, he wanted to know what the exnation was badly.


    Despite his curiosity, he was still pretty bbergasted.


    "What sorcery is this?"


    "Is this even possible? I have to get to the bottom of this!"


    Legs was determined instantly to get to the bottom of this, but before that, he needed to save his sorry ass from this sure-death situation first.


    Being one of the co-producers who created the great VR game Dominator, Legs knew the game as well as he knew his zoology.


    "Can I ess my game interface here too?"


    Instantly after he asked, a holographic projection appeared before him.

    -------


    "Holy Sh*t¡­, that''s so weak!" Legs cried.


    Apart from how weak he was at this moment; Legs was even more bbergasted by how small he was. "I''m a freaking 12-year-old?"


    The thought of all these alone almost made Legs faint but the danger was real and was why he forced himself to fight. This body of his may be extremely weak, but all the other warriors were not much stronger than him.


    None of them were Grade F superhumans yet, they were all normal humans.


    Perhaps, for normal humans, being reincarnated into such a dangerous world and finding themselves in a war-torn zone was a nightmare but Legs was no slouch when it came to Dominator.


    He had in-depth knowledge of the VR game, and he was an avid gamer, but what really gave him his confidence was his 3rd identity as a martial art practitioner.


    As the warriors in white tried to no avail to protect him, they were surprised as the demeanor of the young Master suddenly changed.


    Legs may not be a cold-blooded serial killer who loved murder but his fighting instincts as a martial artist practitioner were real.


    Before they could react, Legs picked up the sword of one of the fallen warriors and pounced out of his hiding spot immediately.


    By now, he already confirmed that he was the target of these red warriors. With his weak body, he may not be able to fight them now but Legs was confident of escaping with the help of the white warriors.


    "Cover my retreat!"


    Legs yelled as he started sprinting away in the opposite direction of the raging battle even as the red warriors reacted to his movements instantly.


    As he ran, his virtual interface lit up again.


    -------


    [You have triggered Grade F Mission: Survive]


    [Details: Survive the ambush of the warriors of the Elementalist Academy and the betrayal of your twin brother]


    ------


    On seeing this, in Legs''s mind, only one word rang. "Game on!"

 Chapter 2 Planet Darvis

    The battle was being fought in the deste hills.


    Once Legs barely epted his current situation and started his quest to survive this ambush, he instantly headed for the hills.


    He guessed that his chances of escape in the hills would be better. Of course, his journey to the hills was no easy stuff as he had the warriors in red to fight.


    The limit to attributes of normal humans who had not awakened the super gene was 5, only the vitality of this new body of his was better than normal and Legs banked all his hopes on it.


    After yelling at the warriors in white to block his retreat, they did just that and this was what enabled him to break away from the warriors in red after exchanging 4 or 5 blows with them with the sword that he picked.


    His sudden increased proficiency with the sword shocked the warriors, and this was what allowed him to slip away but not for long though.


    After what felt like an eternity, the data transfer that seemed to take ce in his head finally came to an end as he inherited all the memories of his new body.


    essing the older memories immediately was a bit difficult for him but he was able to ess the recent ones. He finally understood why the virtual interface described his first mission as the betrayal of his twin brother.


    Legs reincarnated into the body of a horny young warrior who through pure luck was able to awaken the supergene.


    After awakening the supergene, his parents took him and his twin brother to the Summoner Academy which was the only one in their shelter.


    By now, Legs already recognized this beginner.


    This was made with the premise of a world ravaged by a beast apocalypse that elerated the growth of its inhabitants and opened their eyes to the mysteries of awakening super genes.


    The main target of this ambush by the opposing Elementalist Academy was the genius of the Summoner Academy, Quinn Baron not Legs Baron.


    When faced with danger, Quinn, Legs''s genius brother was ruthless enough to sacrifice his twin brother without batting an eyelid to escape.


    Being the horny and ipetent fool that he was, Legs stood no chance, he died after being knocked on the head and thus presented his body as the perfect vessel for Legs to reincarnate into this world.


    From their recent memories also, Legs learned that the captain of the warrior group escorting him also betrayed him alongside his brother.


    He was speechless. "How dumb was that Legs to not even notice this?"


    After escaping to the hills, Legs''s original intention was to help the warriors in white but the sin of their Captain now rubbed them all.


    Legs rapidly surveyed the terrain and he found an invisible loophole like he expected that only the game developers like him could see. "Though the world is real, it''s just like the game that I co-developed".


    Bam!


    Legs stabbed his sword into a hidden location with all his strength and instantly, the hill shook as it gave way. Rocks rolled down the hill as they steamrolled through all the warriors without leaving anyone of them alive.


    In just a few seconds, all of them died, leaving a trail of blood behind.


    [You have killed 21 awakened warriors: You have gained 210 Experience!]


    Legs stood alone on the hill as he looked down curiously at all the corpses at his feet. "What a great way to wee me into this world!"


    "Feels too dark being done by a 12-year-old though".


    ¡­


    Before his reincarnation, the game was already far ahead in the 4th version update when the Psychic Revolution started. Then, his game character who he yed as a Summoner was already a Grade A powerhouse.


    This was why being brought so far back now, Legs had to stress himself to remember the little details about this.


    One thing he vividly remembered though was that Darvis was the ideal for carbon-based human characters.


    As a that was just recovering from the wake of an apocalypse, Darvis was extremely dangerous as only the shelters were safe.


    This was why after getting rid of his enemies, Legs started locating the nearest shelter immediately where the Summoner Academy was located.


    His mission was notplete yet until he entered a shelter and was safe.


    Legs had only a few minutes before he had to ept his new reality. Not many people would have adapted as fast as he did, but if you had the kind of curiosity and open-mindedness that he had, adaption was super easy.


    Maybe this was why he was even chosen to be reincarnated.


    In just his first few minutes in this world, he killed his first 21 warriors. Though he may be in a 12-year-old kid''s body at the moment, his soul had over 40 years of experience and he was not fazed by the killing.


    After the kill, Legs confirmed that those were not yers but NPCs.


    As he suspected, there were no yers here, only NPCs, and all the NPCs already mutated to develop real human characteristics.


    "I wonder what really happened to the game".


    All these only left him more curious to know the truth behind his reincarnation and Legs believed that the best way for him to know was to locate the shelter. He arrived after braving the wild destends for 35 minutes.


    After arriving, Legs followed the memories of his new body as he went straight to the huge building that represented the Summoner Academy.


    Legs entered his dormitory while ignoring his roommates as he went straight to the mirror first to look at himself. "White hair, hazel eyes¡­, hmm, I look handsome".


    After that, Legs ignored his roommates again and jumped into his bed. After his little escape, he was already exhausted.


    As soon as his back touched the bed, he slept.


    -------


    [Grade F Missionpleted: Survive!]


    [You have been rewarded with 1000 Experience and a Healing Elixir!]


    ------


    Legs felt a cool refreshing feeling flow through his body as he slept.

 Chapter 3 The 6 Main Classes

    "Did you hear? Legs actually survived the ambush".


    "I heard that he came back with blood all over his body, poor Legs¡­"


    "Quinn surviving is expected, but Legs, I have to say that his luck shone pretty well this time against all expectations".


    Legs woke up the next morning to the sound of gossip in his dormitory.


    Without even having to look, he already knew what the topic of gossip was all about- the mystery behind the cowardly Legs surviving the ambush.


    Though Legs knew what they wanted, he paid no attention to them as he woke up. Having slept all night, his brain now felt revitalized, he was ready to start his investigation into the mystery behind his reincarnation.


    After waking up, he saw his virtual interface notification and finally understood why the aches of the previous day were alreadypletely gone. The healing elixir worked wonders in his body.


    As soon as he woke up, all the gossiping voices died down as all eyes turned in his direction. Unlike the previous Legs, this one returned their gaze coolly.


    All the students instinctively shrank on feeling his gaze, for some reason, this Legs gave a different vibe than the one they saw just yesterday.


    From their little conversations, Legs already knew what followed after he came back to the academy. After escaping, Quinn reported the ambush and the Summoner Academy immediately sent reinforcements.


    On getting there, they were toote, all the warriors were already dead.


    The matter died there since shes between the Elementalist Academy and the Summoner Academy did not start today, it was an age-old rivalry.


    Also from the conversations, Legs knew that his twin brother and his little girlfriend were here. All he had to do was look for the matching face of white hair and hazel eyes like his and he easily found Quinn.


    -Unlike the current skinny him, Quinn though also being just 12 years old already developed some muscles and he looked a few years older.


    Standing by his side was a girl with blonde hair tied into 2 ponytails. This was Eliandra, Quinn''s girlfriend since they were 10 years when they were just epted into the Summoner Academy as students.


    Seeing him wake up, Quinn seemed to heave a sigh of relief as he came forward to meet him. He asked inly. "How did you survive?"


    Legs met his twin brother''s eyes calmly which was a first. "I escaped".


    Before Quinn could say another word, Legs turned to face Eliandra. "Where is the direction to the library?"


    ? "T-that way!"


    Legs was so cut off from his usual timid personality today that the usually loud-mouthed Eliandra was tongue-tied, she replied to him instinctively.


    While the students and Quinn were watching, stunned, Legs stood up from his bed, casually put on his clothes, and motioned to leave the dormitory.


    "Wait, you have not answered my question!" Seeing him about to leave, Quinn finally reacted as his tone now sounded a bit annoyed.


    Legs turned briefly to face his twin brother. "Sorry womb-mate, too busy today, I can''t give you the attention that you need".


    Again, before Quinn could reply, Legs turned to face Eliandra. "You have a birdpanion, right?"


    "Huh¡­, wait, how did you¡­?"


    "Have you heard of the term Psittacosis?"


    "Huh?"


    "It''s a systemic illness inpanion birds and poultry and can be transmitted from infected birds to humans".


    "Your skin looks pale, and your temperature is colder than usual, signs of pneumonia. You are still a gradeless super, you are not that immune yet, I advise you to go for antibiotic treatment before it''s toote".


    "Thank meter".


    Before the students could react, Legs was gone to the library.


    Eliandra stood petrified, stunned, and speechless. "He¡­, he''s right".


    ¡­


    The little talk with his twin brother was just a phase to Legs.


    Quinn was not the focus of attention today, his focus of attention after finally surviving his first day since reincarnation was still to satisfy his curiosity.


    Legs wanted to find out the mystery behind his reincarnation and the first ce that his mind went to get information was the academy''s library.


    On arriving at the library, Legs found an isted space before picking a big book that detailed the storyline and history of Darvis.


    The memories of the previous Legs may have been transferred to him but the thought process of that Legs was too messed up, he could barely make sense of it, and was why he decided to go to the library himself.


    Though Legs already confirmed that this was Dominator, the game that he was one of the producers of, with this big book, he double confirmed.


    As he expected, the big book''s content was limited to Darvis''s history since the supers here had not experienced interster travel yet.


    3000 years ago, this in like earth was hit by the beast apocalypse that ravaged across. A lot of humans died but the few that survived developed as the lucky among them got to awaken whatter became known as the supergene.


    After unlocking the supergene, warriors get the option of choosing main sses between the Summoner, Elementalist, and Pugilist main sses which would enable them to level up further and get stronger.


    These were the 3 main sses avable in Darvis but as a co-producer of the game, Legs knew that Dominator actually had 6 main sses.


    The 6 main sses avable in Dominator were the Summoner, Mechanic, Elementalist, Pugilist, Psychic, and Mage main sses.


    Knowing the truth was one thing, epting it was another.


    At this point, Legs could no longer hold back his curiosity, he was now so attracted to knowing the mystery behind his reincarnation into a game that discovering the truth would give him no less pleasure than having an orgasm.


    Legs ravaged through the books of the library for 5 straight hours without getting any closer to finding the mystery behind his reincarnation.


    This was when he discovered one bitter truth. He was still just a 12 years old boy in this world, he was not privy to a lot of things.


    To really know more, he needed to take things slow and steady, develop himself, and most especially develop his powers.


    Legs recognized that to satisfy his curiosity and know how he came to this world, he needed to get strong enough and if possible, be the strongest.


    "To satisfy my curiosity, I can do that".

 Chapter 4 Reincarnation Cheat

    A week after Legs reincarnated, he already got used to his new world.


    As an avid gamer of Dominator and a co-producer of the game, Legs knew the game in and out, all he did in the previous week was actually confirming that this was the Dominator that he was familiar with.


    Once he confirmed, everything else became easy.


    With his game interface, Legs was no longer the same horny kid that he was. Within just a week, he already experienced a great change.


    For the first time in 2 years, he was no longer the main target of bullying at the Summoner Academy in the Gwen Shelter.


    The Gwen Shelter had 3 main power organizations like in almost every other shelter in Darvis, the Summoner, Elementalist, and Pugilist Academies.


    After reading for hours in the academy library, Legs learned a lot. In the Gwen Shelter, the Pugilist Academy was the weaker force while the 2 others were superior and were the main rivals in the shelter.


    The warriors that were sent to assassinate his twin brother were from the Elementalist Academy. Apart from the beasts that roamed outside the walls of the shelter, the Elementalists were the main enemies of the Summoners here.


    In his previous life, Legs''s main game character was a Summoner which was another reason for his quick adaptation to this world and its rules.


    After knowing that the best way to satisfy his curiosity was to be stronger, he did not hesitate to invest all his time in leveling up.


    He didn''t even bother to hide his ring personality change; it was not worth his effort. He broke rtionships with the previous Legs''s friends, chased all his previous girlfriends, and gave full focus to self-development.


    In just one week, bypleting missions that were triggered through his game interface, he was able to level up 10 times, bing a Grade F superhuman in the process which shocked the whole Academy.


    The genius students of the Academy were already Grade F superhumans, Legs climbing into their ranks suddenlypletely changed his life.


    After bing a Grade F superhuman, Legs finally joined the category of students that were ready to finally choose their main ss as a Summoner.


    Schooling in the Summoner Academysted 5 years.


    The 5 years were training for the students to be Grade F superhumans, choose their main ss, awaken their beast affinity, and bond with their first beast which would open the doors ahead to them.


    Though with his game interface, Legs could achieve a lot, he was still realistic enough to acknowledge the fact that he was still just a 12-year-old kid.


    His main ns now were preparations for his 15th birthday when he would graduate from the academy, Legs intended to take full advantage of his future knowledge and make himself the Greatest Summoner ever if possible.


    He reasoned that this was the only way to satisfy his curiosity about this world.


    "Hi, big brother Legs".


    Legs simply nodded at the students who were shameless enough to greet him after his recent exploits as he made his way to the training chamber.


    On entering inside, he locked himself up as another round of training began.


    ¡­


    Inside a room at the higher levels of the massive tower of the Summoner Academy, a tall man stood as a student kneeled before him, Quinn Baron.


    "I heard your brother became a Grade F superhuman".


    "Yes, Lecturer Gob".


    "Hmph¡­, I wonder who aided him?" The middle-aged man snorted.


    "Ignore him and focus on your training, you are the talented one, he is just a piece of sh*t. I already told you, the choice is with you, to be a truly great and ruthless superhuman, kill your brother to eliminate all sentiments and emotions".


    "You have 3 years to do this, another opportunity is the beast contract trial".


    "I can help you, all you need to do is say yes".


    Quinn hesitated a bit before replying. "Yes, Master".


    "Good". The middle-aged man nodded with a smile.


    ¡­


    Legs returned to his dormitory after a day of hard work.


    On falling down on his bed, Legs''s brain wandered. Like every other day of the past week, he started thinking of a lot of things. He thought of earth and he also thought of the previous Legs''s life.


    Though Legs already discovered that getting stronger was the way to satisfy his curiosity about reincarnation, he never stopped thinking to try to deduce the catalyst that made him the target of reincarnation.


    Was he the only one that was reincarnated? Were other game producers reincarnated? Was every human on earth reincarnated?


    Legs could still remember that day vividly. The investors and higher executives behind Dominator invited all the producers for another game update.


    He remembered being extremely busy, engrossed in expanding the world of Dominator and all. Till the explosion that destroyed everything, he still could not find the catalyst that made his reincarnation possible.


    "I thought truck-kun was responsible for reincarnations, did it change?"


    After getting stuck here, Legs deviated to his body''s life story. After searching his memory for over one week, he finally remembered that in Darvis, one of the main characters was called Quinn Baron.


    Through this, he also remembered that Legs lived. His question was how did Legs live if his death was what resulted in his reincarnation?


    Before, Legs would fall asleep after his thought process got stuck again due to ack of clues to investigate but today was different.


    All of a sudden, his game interface lit up.


    -------


    [Special Developer Package has been delivered: ???]


    [Click to unlock package]


    -----


    "Huh? What is this?"


    Legs was surprised, he was not new to developer packages. These were pecks that he and his fellow game developers gave themselves to have advantages over other gamers who enjoyed the expansive world of Dominator.


    How did he get a special developer package here?


    Legs was curious as he instantly clicked on the blinking apple package.


    Once he clicked it, before Legs could understand what was going on, his dormitory faded into the shadows as he was dragged into an unfamiliar world filled with shadows. In here, Legs was able to barely see through the shadows.


    Though he could barely see, he was still able to see different dark orb-shaped objects and a cluster of sinister grey energy that was hidden amid the shadows.


    Legs was surprised. "Is that what I think it is?"


    Before Legs could react, the evil Elementalist spirit erupted from the shadows to attack him but the spirit was firmly suppressed by the shadows, leaving him helpless and vulnerable before him.


    Legs was surprised. As one of the game developers, he recognized what this sinister grey energy was, this was the evil spirit left by a dead Elementalist.


    And this was no mere evil Elementalist, from the weakened aura that the evil spirit emanated, Legs guessed that he must have been at least a Grade A powerhouse, he was stunned.


    His eyes widened as he finally understood why Legs survived in his previous life. Legs actually died but this evil Elementalist took over his body.


    In this timeline though, this evil Elementalist''s n could not work as a reincarnator came to take his ce. After understanding the truth, Legs was left speechless as he bent back before erupting in a loud fit ofughter.


    "Muahahahaha!"


    "How dare youugh? Do you know who I am?"


    Legspletely ignored the helpless Elementalist as he wondered. "So, is this grey world of shadows like the cheat that I reincarnated with?"


    "What is its cheat ability then? Kidnapping evil Elementalists?"


    Almost instantly after Legs asked, he saw one of the dark orb-shaped objects glow. Filled with curiosity, Legs touched the glowing object.


    Bzzz!


    Legs was shocked by what followed, while the recipient was spooked.


    "W-What? Who are you¡­?"

 Chapter 5 Dream Awakening

    "Who are you?"


    The middle-aged man asked in a deep voice to mask his panic which he failed miserably at. For some reason, Legs through the powers of this grey world was able to read the emotions of this middle-aged man.


    The middle-aged man''s face was covered in the grey shadows, but this did not obscure Legs''s vision, he could see him clearly.


    From the loose cotton clothes that this middle-aged man wore, Legs could see that he was a desert man and he knew that he was a Grade D superhuman.


    Legs was shocked. "I summoned a Grade D superhuman so effortlessly?"


    "What exactly is this grey world?" He wondered.


    On receiving no reply, the middle-aged desert-man remained tensed up as he tried to pry through the veils of the shadows to see who summoned him to this strange world to no avail.


    He tried to activate his superpowers but he was suppressed firmly.


    Instead of answering the middle-aged man, Legs kept quiet as he tried to process everything that was happening. He already had a few theories in his head but he found it extremely hard to ept them.


    Amid his thinking, another of the dark orb-shaped objects started glowing. Legs was surprised to see no reaction from the desert man.


    "Wait, he can''t see past the grey shadows like me?"


    After discovering this, Legs became a bit more unbridled. While obscured by the grey shadows, Legs secretly touched the 2nd glowing orb-shaped object.


    Bzzz!


    Another person was summoned, this time a beautifuldy.


    "Hey, where am I?"


    Her loud feminine voice startled the middle-aged desert man who finally turned to see her. He kept his silence and watched attentively as thedy panicked.


    Legs watched this youngdy silently. "She already awakened the super gene but is gradeless, she doesn''t have a main ss yet either".


    "From her clothing, she looks royalty".


    As Legs watched his 2 summons, countless gears moved in his head. Curiosity bred imaginations, in this short time, Legs already came up with a crazy idea after ying with the powers of this grey world a bit.


    "Create chair¡­, no, throne".


    Once Legs thought of this, the grey world stirred subtly as a throne was created out of nowhere.


    Instinctively, Legs cracked his head left and right before sitting majestically on the throne. At this moment, he was like a Demon God who spent a millennium in a prison but finally broke out and reimed his throne.


    "Create round table and 2 chairs".


    Once Legs thought of it, a majestic round table like those used by Arthur and his knights appeared apanied by 2 chairs.


    By now, the beautifuldy and the middle-aged desert man already had their own ideas about what was happening. They obediently sat on the 2 chairs.


    "You can call me¡­, the Hermit". Legs spoke in an ancient voice, he learned that he could also use the shadows to modify his voice.


    As soon as Legs said this, the middle-aged man anddy felt goosebumps due to his voice and the current setting. Legs''s small stunt was so sessful that it could even leave the most veteran chatans blushing in shame.


    On noticing him keep silent while staring, the middle-aged desert-man got the clue and spoke first. "I will be called¡­, the Emperor".


    His first intention was to mention the World since the mysterious man in the shadows already started the tarot card trend, but he thought that to be too pretentious which was why he relented to choosing the Emperor tarot card.


    Once he spoke, the beautifuldy finally got the clue. "Oh, I''ll be the Star".


    Legs nodded his head softly to indicate approval as even more ideas already filled his head. "I just woke up from a millennium-long slumber".


    "The purpose of this gathering will be exposed in our next meeting".


    "For now, I will let the both of you, the Star and the Emperor leave".


    "The next gathering time will be 2 weeks from now".


    "Understood, Lord¡­"


    "The Hermit".


    The desert man took his correction instantly. "Understood, Lord Hermit".


    Once he willed to leave, Legs felt it and he let the desert-man leave. The beautifuldy curtseyed with a nervous smile before leaving.


    Once the 2-summons left, Legs heaved a sigh of relief, he almost suffocated already from all the acting. "Phew¡­, I survived".


    Instantly after he sighed in relief, a voice scoffed, this was when Legs remembered the presence of the evil Elementalist spirit.


    Legs turned to look at this evil spirit and was dumbfounded, he finally understood the reason for most of his 2 summons'' reactions.


    An unknown powerful figure summoning you against your will was spooky to anyone, but neither of the 2 had an idea of how strong he was. At least this was what Legs thought until he remembered the presence of the spirit.


    The spirit may be damaged and extremely weak but it still belonged to a powerful Elementalist. The grey shadows protected Legs from its aura but the same could not be said about the 2 human summons.


    Both of them had to bask in such a horrifying aura. If such a spirit was the subordinate, then their imaginations would surely run wild on his real strength.


    "Muahahaha!" Legsughed his ass out again. "You helped me this time lol".


    Afterughing to his fill, Legs was about to explore the grey world more and interrogate the evil Elementalist but he soon remembered something.


    "Sh*t, today is the day of the Dream Awakening".


    Without hesitation, he left the grey world.


    After leaving the grey world and returning to his dormitory, Legs found out that a grey apple was now tattooed on his wrist.


    He guessed that this was his way to return to the grey world.


    Legs was still fascinated by this Special Developer Package but he left thinking about it forter. After 2 years of study in the Summoner Academy, today was the day for him to finally awaken his beast affinity.


    He slept so that he could wake up fresh in the morning.


    ¡­


    When morning came, all the 2nd year students of the academy gathered before their beast instructor. The beast instructor led them all to the dream-walk machine where they would be stimted to awaken their beast affinities.


    The 2nd year was when they''ll awaken their beast affinities, while the 5th year was when they''ll finally contract their first summoned beast.


    Like the other students, Legs soonid down on the machine. In no time, he fell asleep and saw himself in a dream where he saw gems of different colors floating in the starry sky.


    The different gems represented different beast affinities. Red gems represented beasts with fire affinities, blue to those with water affinities, and so on.


    Students were supposed to be half-lucid during the dream awakening, but for some reason, Legs waspletely lucid.


    In the game, summoners could awaken their beast affinities through selection. Now, Legs was presented with a simr option.


    In this lucid state, he could choose any beast affinity that he wanted, unlike the other students whose choices were random. "Damn, this is awesome".


    Straightforward beast affinities like red for fire were the best, taking this path was like climbing a straight pole unlike taking neutral beast affinities whose progression path was like climbing a tree with many branches.


    After thinking a bit, Legs choosed a gem that was mixed with many colors, a neutral gem.


    ------


    You have awakened Beast Affinity: Neutral


    -----


    "Unlike others, with my knowledge, I can afford to take a neutral path".

 Chapter 6 Sub Class- Beast Tamer

    2 weekster.


    After the dream awakening, things once again changed for Legs in the Summoner Academy. Following tradition, after the awakening, their scheme of work in the academy changed to training in preparation for their main ss.


    The ideal age for supers to choose their main ss was 15 though geniuses could choose their main ss at a much younger age once they had enough stats.


    The more time passed, the more it also became evident that he was different from the previous Legs but no one could refute it, he was still Legs.


    Quinn Baron felt more pressure from his elder twin brother, something that he had never experienced in his whole life.


    From the first day that he started showing promise, Legs already knew of the attention from high ces that he attracted but he did not care about them.


    During these past 2 weeks, Legs trained hard with the other students, increasing their basic stats in preparation for the ultimate main ss yearster.


    Also in the 2 weeks, Legs like all other students acquired his first sub-ss.


    -----------


    Sub ss: Beast Tamer


    [Bonuses:]


    +3 Charm, +2 Mystery, +1 Intelligence


    [Passive Abilities:]


    -        Call of the Wild: You now have a natural affinity with the wild. Your awareness, stealth, and instincts while in the wild have been amplified.


    -        Jungle Cruise: When triggered, this passive ability temporarily increases your dexterity, vitality, and intelligence by 10% while in the wild.


    [Active Ability:]


    -        Beast Tamer: You now have the ability tomunicate with beasts. You have a low chance ofpelling wild beasts to fight for you.


    -------


    With the beast tamer sub-ss, the students were no longer weaklings. Now, they did not just rely on their stats to fight but on their tamed beasts also.


    With this sub-ss acquired, the restriction of no duels among the students was finally lifted. In the past 2 weeks, not less than 10 students already challenged Legs to a duel but he rejected them all.


    He would only fight in a duel if it was a gamble and if the stakes were high enough topel him, only high stakes could arouse his curiosity.


    Until the stakes were high enough, his time was too precious for that.


    Apart from training and acquiring his first subss, in the past 2 weeks, Legs already took a lot of time to think about the Special Developer Package that he got. Till now, he still couldn''t get a definitive answer.


    He didn''t get a definitive answer but all that didn''t matter since today being 2 weeks since thest gathering was the day for another gathering.


    Legs prepared ahead of time and once he was asleep in his bed, he gently tapped the grey apple tattoo on his wrist and his consciousness disappeared.


    Once he arrived back in this grey world, Legs took his time to observe. He soon discovered that he also had restrictions in this grey world.


    He could only explore a few meters from the starting point before it felt like he just walked into a thick fog that held him back.


    He felt that he could ess more once he got stronger.


    All in all, Legs did not learn much about the grey world like before. Once he gave up, he turned his attention back to the evil spirit who was now as quiet as a mouse after spending 2 weeks in this grey world without being able to escape.


    "Let me out!"


    "Shhhh¡­, you''re making noise".


    "I said, let me¡­"


    "Cover his mouth".


    Once Legs ordered it in his mind, the shadows moved and the evil spirit was gagged as he could no longer speak. He protested to no avail.


    Legs ordered the shadows again and conjured his throne, the round table, and the chairs again before looking down at the evil spirit. "You know I can''t let you live rent-free in my world".


    "Shameless! You are as clueless about this world as I am".


    "Shhhh, no noise please". Legs gave ast warning. "Tell me how I can exploit you, anything I can do to benefit from keeping you alive".


    "¡­"


    The evil spirit was infuriated. "You think I''m a whore?! You''ll have to get over my dead body before you can take advantage of me".


    "Fine, let''s do it your way. By the way, I am a certified zoologist".


    "Huh, what''s that?"


    "What are you doing? W-wait¡­, wait, ahh!"


    10 minutester, the evil spirit was now barely recognizable. "You dissected me? You f*cking dissected me? When do zoologists dissect? I''ve never felt so weak, huhuhu".


    "Shhhh, stop crying already, you said you can do what again?"


    The evil spirit sniffed. "I was a pinnacle Grade A Elementalist before I fell. I lost all my memories and treasures, but I at least have my mana. With my mana, you can have ess to unlimited mana at least until you get to Grade A".


    "But I can''t use mana now".


    "You''ll do once you acquire your main ss".


    "Nice, deal!" Legs agreed to the proposal instantly.


    As a veteran yer of Dominator, Legs knew how important mana was for a summoner. With unlimited mana, he would be literally invisible in most aspects against other supers of his grade.


    As Legs prepared the grey world for the gathering, the evil spirit suddenly asked. "Tell me, you''re not a 12-year-old, right?"


    Legs revealed a wicked smile. "Guess".


    ¡­


    Bzzz! Bzzz!


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit". Unlike the previous time, the beautifuldy''s cheerful voice reverberated as she did a curtsey.


    The desert man was much more reserved. "Your Excellency," he greeted.


    After 2 weeks of time to think everything over, both of them already arrived at different exnations for this unknown entity.


    Though their exnations were different, they had something inmon, this was an entity that they absolutely could not mess with, and hence their current reactions when in the presence of this entity again.


    The desert-man employed measures to prevent illusions and mind-invasion but seeing himself, here again, he sighed in resignation.


    The Hermit''s dignified voice reverberated from the throne. "Wee to my kingdom again, the Emperor and the Star".


    "In 2 weeks, I was able to recover some of my memories".


    After rehearsing the personality that he wanted for the Hermit over the past 2 weeks, now, Legs''s acting skills were put to the test as he spoke.


    "First, tell me about the outside world, what era are we in?"


    The Emperor spoke first after stealing a nce at the Star who was shrouded in shadows. "Your Excellency, we are in the Apocalypse Era".


    "The leading organizations of this era are the Elementalist, Summoner, and Pugilist organizations".


    "Then, you''re a member of the Pugilist organization?"


    The Emperor was shocked. "How did he know my main ss?"


    The Star was even more shocked. "The Emperor is a Pugilist? I''m so envious, how can I get a main ss? Dad and mom prohibits me from training, perhaps I should ask the Hermit, he seems all-powerful".


    The Emperor felt vulnerable and exposed more than ever before but not for long. "I was really foolish to think I could hide things from an existence this powerful".


    ? Looking at the powerful Elementalist spirit that groveled at the feet of the god-like existence told him all that he needed to know about him.


    Seeing their reactions, Legs determined that he achieved a bit of his goal. He didn''t want to go further least he broke character and exposed himself.


    "Understood". He finally replied to the Emperor.


    "I don''t have a serious purpose for this gathering for now, but I will take it as an information center for the time being".


    The Emperor cleared his throat. "You mean like a ce where we can exchange information for payment and get benefits in return?"


    Legs smiled in his mind. "I''m beginning to like this guy more and more".


    He didn''t reply, he deliberately kept quiet to flow with the personality that he envisioned for the Hermit, he gave a silent approval like a God who passively responded to the prayers of his subjects.


    "Thank you for this tform and the great opportunity to be a part of it, your Excellency the Hermit".


    "Thank you, your Excellency the Hermit". The Star was startled and not about to be outdone, she chimed in and also thanked the Hermit.


    Like he already nned, Legs did not reply to that.


    This was when the Emperor asked for permission and once he got it, he turned to chat with the Star for the first time. Through the little chat, they were able to understand a bit about themselves.


    Also, they benefited from each other after engaging in some trades.


    A few minutester, Legs spoke. "The meeting would be adjourned now".


    "Yes, your Excellency". The Emperor and the Star obliged and left.


    Once they left, Legs began sweating bullets.


    [Warning, your mana substitute- stamina has been exhausted!]


    [You have been booted out of the Grey World!]


    Legs found himself back in his bed with a biting headache.

 Chapter 7 Another One?

    Inside one of the rooms of the massive tower of the Summoner Academy, 2 middle-aged men one with grey hair and another with red hair stood in the shadows discussing.


    "You know it''s a taboo to sabotage our own students, I won''t do it".


    "2 years ago, have you forgotten the crime that youmitted? No one else stood by you, everyone abandoned you including your friends, I was the only one who stood by your side and saved you from being executed".


    "I''m not here to pressure you, I just want a favor from you, that''s all".


    The middle-aged man with red hair sighed. "I''ll do this only this once and we are settled, you can''t pressure me again next time, agreed?"


    "Agreed".


    The middle-aged man with red hair heaved a sigh of relief after that and touched his bald head. "I can pull some strings, sabotage Legs, and make sure that his punishment is to be sent to the Nightmare beast ind for his trial".


    "I hear that some Ancient Nightmare Beasts live there, I just hope he is as useless as you say and he''ll surely die there".


    "Don''t worry". The middle-aged man with grey hair smiled. "Legs is a good for nothing, just a distraction to his twin brother, he''ll definitely die there".


    "Good".


    ¡­


    In the blink of an eye, 3 years already passed and Legs was 15 years old.


    After spending 3 years in this world, Legs already changed a lot. During this period, apart from training daily with the other students, he also went to the gathering in his grey world with his 2 members every month.


    As the training in the academy intensified, he lessened the time for the gatherings to once a month which became more beneficial in the end.


    After 5 years in the Summoner Academy, he was now a final-year student who was ready for graduation. The graduation rite of the Summoner Academy to bing a real summoner was acquiring a real contracted beast.


    The contract beast trial of the Summoner Academy took ce on an ind that was owned by the Academy, the Greend Ind.


    Before the final year students could participate in the contract beast trial, they needed to have a main ss already which they already did.


    Legs acquired his main ss 3 months ago.

    -----


    After 3 years of hard work despite the numerous limitations that prevented him from taking full advantage of his advantages, within a period of 3 years, he was still able to develop a lot while making the best use of what he could.


    His game interface status now looked entirely different from before.

    [Remark: Still a Grade F Superhuman¡­, Pathetic!]


    -------


    Strength, vitality, and dexterity were the main attributes of Pugilists. Elementalists have mystery and charm as their 2 main attributes.


    As for Summoners, like Mechanics, Intelligence was their core attribute. High Intelligence did not necessarily mean genius-level thinking faculty.


    Intelligence rather affected resistance against soul and mental attacks, the ability to create machines, and the ability to summon and control contracted beasts.


    Apart from intelligence, the other attribute needed by Summoners was charm and mystery. Despite all these, Legs''s strength stat was the highest and this was because strength was the easiest to train in the early stages.


    After another day of intense training, like the other students, Legs returned to his dormitory to sleep in preparation for tomorrow.


    On getting to his dormitory though, he saw a carton box on his bed. On picking and opening it, he saw a letter which he read.


    "You have been used of attempted r*pe".


    "ording to the rules and conducts of the Summoner Academy, you have been condemned to suffering in the Nightmare Beast Ind".


    Legs was confused. "What the heck?"


    Bam!


    The next moment, 2 guards barged into the dormitory, startling the other students as Legs was grabbed. "Master Legs, you are under arrest".


    On seeing the 2 guards, Legs''s eyes shone in realization. He chuckled bitterly, the loose ends that he found toozy to clean up finally came back to haunt him, he thought he would not experience this for at least 5 years.


    "Well, life is unpredictable".


    That night, Legs was arrested and ced among the batch of criminals that were about to be sent to the Nightmare Beast Ind to serve their sentence.


    He was framed unjustly, and there was little that he could do.


    Legs sighed because this just ruined all his ns, the next grey world gathering was supposed to be in 2 days. Amid his frustration, he was surprised as his game interface suddenly lit up again.


    --------


    [Special Developer Package has been delivered: Nightmare Beast Gene Limit Remover!]


    [Click to unlock package]


    ------


    Legs was shocked. "Another one?"

 Chapter 8 The Star Fox

    The Gwen Shelter was just a small part of Darvis.


    Legs''s ambitions went further than this small shelter. With his knowledge, staying at a single location was shackling his potential. To take full advantage of his future knowledge, he was ready to walk this.


    His original intention was that after graduating from the Summoner Academy and getting his first contracted beast, he would finally leave the academy on good terms but things were not going as nned.


    His decision to spend 3 years in the academy was not made on a whim.


    If this was the game, he would have taken the risk to leave years ago without a summoned beast but this time, the game was real.


    In Dominator, it wasmon knowledge that a summoner without his summoned beast was a weakling. Going out when he didn''t have even one contracted beast yet was suicide and was why he waited till now.


    With the ckmail to take him to the Nightmare Beast Ind, all his ns were ruined and Legs finally decided to risk escaping without a contracted beast.


    As he was being taken to the Mountain Toads alongside the other batch of criminals that would be taken to the ind, Legs''s brain worked fast and he already got at least 10 escape ideas to work with.


    Before he could implement any of them though, his game interface lit up with a notification that made him halt all his ns.


    --------


    [Special Developer Package has been delivered: Nightmare Beast Gene Limit Remover!]


    [Click to unlock package]


    ------


    On seeing this notification, Legs was shocked. Having received one special developer package previously, he never expected to receive another.


    And another reason for his great shock was that, unlike the previous special developer package that he had no idea of, he was the one who went behind to secretly create this special developer package.


    He created this special developer package to give his contracted beast then unlimited potential, but due to the explosion, he never got to use it.


    Now though, he got another opportunity to make use of this cheat package.


    Instantly, Legs changed his mind and followed the other criminals obediently as they were bundled into the Mountain Toads.


    Coincidentally, the Nightmare Beast Ind was one of the few locations on this to find Nightmare Beasts. The Ind was extremely dangerous but at this moment, Legs was not worried about the danger at all.


    That night, the Mountain Toad Riders took them all away.


    ¡­


    After a night-long ride, the Mountain Toad Riders finally arrived at the Nightmare Beast Ind where they dumped all the criminals before riding away.


    The criminals had different reactions to being dumped inside the ind, but knowing more than them, Legs reacted instantly.


    Being just 15, he was the youngest and smallest among them which enabled him to slip away. While they started fighting among themselves, he found a cave on this dangerous ind where he hid in the meantime.


    It was not even 2 minutes after he hid before the sound of battle intensified, and this time it was mixed with the sound of crying beasts.


    The Nightmare Beast Ind had only beasts here and no humans, once humans came, unless they employed measures to mask it, their scent would surely attract the different beasts that formed this ecosystem.


    Now, the criminals suffered this injustice. A few minutester, the rowdiness died down, few criminals were able to survive the first encounter with the beasts.


    After everything died down, Legs remained holed up in his cave as he finally essed his virtual game interface again.


    Unlike the first Special Developer Package which was in the form of an apple, this one was in the form of an orange.


    Once he clicked it, unlike the previous time where he was drawn away, nothing dramatic happened this time. Before he could blink, he saw an object that looked like a yam suddenly appear on his palm.


    "This is the Nightmare Beast Gene Limit Remover?"


    After Legs asked and got no response, his virtual interface suddenly lit up again with another notification.


    ---------


    [Reincarnation Package has been delivered: 5¡Á Gacha Pull!]


    [Click to unlock package]


    ------


    Now, Legs was not just shocked, he was bbergasted.


    "Is today ck Friday? Damn, will packages just keep falling like rain?"


    For the first time since reincarnating into this world, Legs really felt like the main character of something blockbuster. "Damn, this feels nice".


    He already got his Nightmare Beast Gene Limit Remover; he didn''t even get to think of how to use it yet and now he had 5 Gacha Pull chances.


    Legs did not hesitate, he got ready to use them immediately. His only problem was his luck which simply failed to increase since his reincarnation.


    "Did I use up all my luck while transmigrating? F*ck!"


    Despite his extremely low luck though, Legs was not deterred. Among 5 chances, he believed that he would at least get something decent.


    -------


    [You have made use of Gacha Pull once: You gained nothing!]


    ¡­


    [You have made use of Gacha Pull once: You gained nothing!]


    ¡­


    [You have made use of Gacha Pull once: You gained nothing!]


    ------


    "F*ck! What cursed level of luck is this?!"


    "Give me that legendary Dragon this time!"


    ----


    [You have made use of Gacha Pull once: You have gained nothing!]


    ---


    "¡­"


    Now, Legs''s confidence deted like a burst balloon losing air. All of a sudden, he felt himself choking as he coughed, his voice lowered. "Please, goddess of luck, if you''re out there, favor me this time, I''ll do anything for you".


    Rex closed his eyes and did the thing.


    ----


    [You have made use of Gacha Pull once: You have gained¡­!]


    [Recalibrating¡­, you have gained a pet: Star Fox!]


    ---


    The little fox howled loudly once it came to life, giving Legs the chills.


    "¡­" Legs was left speechless as he looked at the furry little fe.


    This was a yellow fox with white dots surrounding its body like the starry sky.


    "Hey, why the look? Ain''t I attractive enough?"


    "¡­" Legs was even more dumbfounded now. "Umm¡­, you can speak?"


    "Of course, which fox can''t speak? Are you stupid?"


    "¡­" Legs scratched his head. "Wait¡­, I thought you''re supposed to be my pet, when do pets insult their owners?"


    The little fox looked at him with disdain. "Na?ve fe".


    Legs could already feel a headacheing dealing with this fox. "I prayed for a Dragon, why the hell did I get a fox? Who needs a fox?"


    As Legs regretted how he just wasted his 5 Gacha Pull chances, the fox after exploring the cave finally came back and spoke.


    "I already found what you''re looking for".


    "And what''s that?"


    The fox revealed a sly smile. "I already found a Nightmare Beast".


    "Huh? So fast? How did you do it?"


    This was when Legs''s brain clicked and he remembered to check his new pet''s virtual interface status.

    [Remark: A Star Fox with infinite growth potential!]


    -------


    "F*ck, a newborn fox is stronger than me?!"

 Chapter 9 1st Contracted Beast- The Nightmare Beast

    The Star Fox''s interface statuspletely shocked Legs.


    Just the Infinite Potential that was written in tandem with its race shocked him. Infinite Potential was the reason why he created the Nightmare Beast Gene Limit Remover, this fox was indeed worthy of a reincarnation package.


    All beasts were born with a bloodline limit. In the same way that dogs were always weaker than Lions, beasts here also experienced the same.


    Most beasts found in Darvis had a bloodline potential limit of Grade D, this meant that unless they met fortuitous encounters, their future growth would always be capped to the Grade D realm.


    Only special beasts like Dragons had higher growth potentials, Legs remembered that ck Dragons had a potential of the Grade S realm.


    He guessed this Star Fox was his real reincarnation package.


    In terms of pure strength, the Star Fox was not strong but it was already disying its abilities by finding what he needed. The only current skill that the Star Fox had was the passive luck glow skill.


    Others may look down on this passive skill but Legs dared not, being a veteran of Dominator, he knew how OP the luck glow skill was.


    The fact that the Star Fox already found the Nightmare Beast that he was after was enough to reveal a bit of its incredible luck.


    With this, Legs could officially start his beast contract trial. Before starting though, he bent down to look at the mischievous yellow fox.


    "Since you''re so lucky, your name will be Lucky".


    -----


    [Pet name has been registered: Lucky]


    ----


    After naming the mischievous little Fox, Legs finally calmed down and startedmunicating with it. Originally, oning to the Nightmare Ind, his greatest worry was braving the dangers of this ind to find his target.


    With Lucky now though, he no longer needed toe out of his cave, he couldplete his beast contract trial directly inside the cave.


    Legs had to promise rewards to the fox before it agreed tomunicate. After he found out the location of the young Nightmare Beast, he started nning extensively on how to take it down.


    Unlike the other 2 main sses in Narvis, the Elementalists and Pugilists, Summoners were the weakest superhumans at the starting stages.


    Without a contracted beast, most Summoners were sitting ducks in battle.


    As a Grade F Summoner, Legs had no real offensive capabilities. His stats were also weak whenpared to the superhumans of the other 2 sses. In the beginning stages, Summoners were required to rely on their head to get victories.


    Legs spent 10 minutes nning before he finally moved.


    ¡­


    Deep inside the cave wandered a menacing beast.


    This little Nightmare Beast got lost after wandering away from its parents. It was a little creature covered with scales, it had four legs with saber-like ws, a maw of sword-sized teeth, and two curving tusks which grew from its lower jaw.


    Despite its small size at this moment which made it no bigger than a normal dog, the young Nightmare Beast was still able to evoke a menacing aura.


    The young Nightmare Beast wandered aimlessly around theplicated cave as it constantly let out whimpers of frustration.


    As it wandered, a pair of eyes watched it from the darkness.


    "Lucky, wish me luck".


    The Nightmare Beast''s ears barely got time to stand to the sudden sound before the young beast felt the rapid movement in the air.


    Legs''s n was notplicated. Without any offensive skills, against this young Nightmare Beast in a head-on battle, he would 100% die.


    This was why instead of fighting the beast head-on, Legs rather decided to find a perfect ambush location and wait for the beast to wander there.


    Once the beast wandered there, Legs did not attack it, rather he just pounced on it and did what Summoners did best, contracting beasts.


    Legs timed his jump so well that the young Nightmare Beast was unable to react before his hand touched its head, then he activated his skill.


    -----


    You have activated skill: Beast Contract


    ----


    The young Nightmare Beastshed out instantly once a foreign hand touched its head, but it soon calmed as the effects of the Beast Contract took center stage.


    A beast signing a contract with a summoner was simr to a human selling his soul to the devil. Once the contract waspleted and signed, that beast instantly became the property of the summoner.


    If the summoner died, the contracted beast would also die but if it was the other way around, the summoner would only receive some soul damage.


    This was why beasts instinctively reacted aggressively to a beast contract.


    The young Nightmare Beast was calm for less than 2 seconds before itshed out again. There was a reason why summoners rarely had Nightmare Beasts as their contracted beasts, they were notorious for their stubbornness.


    The Nightmare Beast moved very roughly but having anticipated it, Legs managed to keep his hand on its head while he stabbed his sword through its leg.


    The young beast growled in pain as it turned its menacing head to bite but mid-motion, its eyes suddenly turned white like it was dead.


    Legs''s eyes also turned white.


    When Legs regained consciousness, he saw himself inside a world of white. In this white world, only he and the young Nightmare Beast were here.


    This was the white contract world of Grade F summoners. This was where a summoner would subdue his target''s will before signing the contract with it.


    "Roar!!!"


    The Nightmare Beast instantly roared in defiance.


    Normal Grade F summoners who were new to the white world would fumble but not Legs, he expertly took control and started mobilizing the powers of the white contract world to suppress the young Nightmare Beast.


    The young beast roared again as it flexed its power, so there stood 2 foes, fighting for hours in a battle to sign one simple contract.


    The Nightmare Beast''s will though young was tenacious, it was able to hold on for 3 full hours before it finally sumbed to Legs''s will.


    Legs was horrified. "Such a tenacious beast!"


    Even as he eximed, his actions did not pause as his illusory hand in this world touched the Nightmare Beast''s head again. This time, a slip was attached to his hand and once he touched the beast''s head, the slip sank in.


    The Nightmare Beast briefly shuddered, then its eyes changed from their previous menacing red to blue. It bowed respectfully the next moment.


    "Master!"


    Legs seeded in getting his first contracted beast.


    Once the contract process was over, the grey world shattered as both consciousnesses returned. They couldn''t move nor even stand though; they werepletely exhausted as they instantly fell asleep.


    Just a few minutes after Legs fell asleep, his consciousness left his body again as he saw himself back in the grey world of shadows.


    This time, a table was already formed by the shadows and a letter was there.


    "What letter is this?"

 Chapter 10 The Letter From The God Of Games

    "What letter is this?"


    Legs was surprised at suddenly being dragged to the grey world without his permission, he was even more surprised by the letter that suddenly appeared.


    His first instinct was to open the letter but he was cautious and was why he summoned someone else, the evil Elementalist spirit.


    "Take and open the letter".


    "But¡­" The evil spirit protested immediately but Legs shunned him.


    "Take that letter and open it".


    "Ugh!" The evil spirit gritted his ethereal teeth before taking hold of the letter. Nothing happened to him, and this made him heave a sigh of relief.


    With batted breath, he slowly opened the letter. Once again, he did not die as he finally glimpsed at the letter, the first few lines alone already shocked him as Legs quickly snatched the letter away from his hand.


    The letter read¡­


    "To my little friend, Legs".


    "If you are reading this letter, it means that the procedure was a sess despite the little glitch and your reincarnation was sessful".


    "My little friend, I''ve been watching you for all 42 years of your life back on earth. Your curiosity to know things is one that baffled even me".


    "Pursuing 3 sessful careers as a zoologist, martial artist, and game developer is impressive, but what is even more impressive is your burning desire and curiosity to know even more".


    "After watching you for 30 years, I included you among my candidates for my ultimate game project. 10 yearster, you sessfully convinced me that you were the one".


    "The little ident that caused your death was caused by me. Others would be angered by this truth, but knowing you, I know that you''ll be grateful for it".


    "In this world of the game that you created, you can fulfill both of our dreams and seek the ultimate limits that unrestrained curiosity can bring".


    "Once you grow strong enough to develop a connection with me, I will watch you closely until you fulfill the boundless potential of curiosity".


    "You can call me¡­, the God of Games".


    "Let the game begin!"


    As Legs read thest line of the letter, though he had not seen this so-called God of Games, he could imagine a wide grin on his face as he wrote it.


    Legs would have felt suspicious but he was captivated by one line. As the God said, others would be angered by this truth, but after knowing the truth, he was grateful since this presented a lot of opportunities to him.


    Back on earth, he could not do a lot of things, his curiosity was shackled but in this world of unlimited possibilities, he could do a lot.


    "Well, thank you, I guess".


    Legs finished saying this only to feel the burning gaze of the evil spirit on him, he turned to face the petty envoy of evil.


    "Hahaha, so you are a reincarnator. Good, good, hahaha, I finally know your secret, let me go immediately or the whole world will know of your secret!"


    Legs turned to look at him like he was a fool. "And so what?"


    "Who gives a damn if they know that I''m a reincarnator?" He snorted. "Besides, it seems you have forgotten that you are in a prison, you need some more disciplinary actions around here".


    "Ah-ah¡­, I''m sorry, I dare not forget my lord".


    "Good, sounds better". Legs smiled.


    With that, Legs finally left the world of grey shadows.


    Reading the letter of the God of Games did not affect him much. It only fulfilled a tiny part of so many things that he was curious about, to really know everything and satisfy his curiosity, he needed to get them himself.


    Besides, he now had another curiosity, who was this God of Games and how the hell did he fulfill the unimaginable task of reincarnating someone?


    Were gods real?


    Legs returned to the Nightmare Beast Ind feeling more motivated than ever before to get stronger so he could satisfy his burning curiosities.


    ¡­


    Once Legs''s consciousness returned to his body, the first thing that he felt was a tongue enthusiastically licking and kissing his face.


    "F*ck! Lucky, stop it!"


    Legs finally opened his eyes to see the Star Fox looking down at him with disdain. The Fox was not the culprit, rather, it was his first contracted beast, the Nightmare Beast that was caught licking his face.


    Legs was speechless, he could feel shudders running down his spine as he knew that Nightmare Beasts'' tongues were covered with numerous small and sharp rear-facing projections to tear meat that was deadlier than those of big cats.


    "Hehe, that''s ok now, Predator". Legsughed awkwardly as he gently raised the young Nightmare Beast up from his body.


    After he finally stood up, the first thing he did was look down at the young Nightmare Beast who had the size of a teenage Lion, and checked its status.

    -        Scale Defense


    -        w Barrage


    [Remark: A Nightmare Beast with nice growth potential!]


    -------


    After looking through the young Nightmare Beast''s status, Legs smiled and rubbed its head. Once again, his beast was stronger than him but he didn''t feel bad, it was the bad personality of the fox that made him feel bad previously.


    "Since I already called you Predator, your name shall be Predator".


    -----


    [Contracted Beast name has been registered: Predator]


    ----


    The young Nightmare Beast purred as it rubbed its body against its master''s in contentment. Unlike Lucky, it could not talk but Legs had a certain telepathic connection with it that enabled him to read its emotions.


    The current Nightmare Beast though young was full of potential, but Legs''s ambitions were bigger than this, he wanted more.


    He no longer hesitated; he finally brought his ultimate trump card.


    He gave the yam to the Nightmare Beast. "Take, Predator, eat".


    The Star Fox was originallyzing away at the side but once it saw this yam, its eyes shone like fire but Legs was quick to block its view. "Tsk, not for you".


    "Hey, that''s not fair!"


    Lucky protested but Legs ignored it as he fed the yam to Predator. After devouring the yam, Predatorid on its back as it let Legs pet its stomach.


    While this happened, mysterious changes happened inside its body painlessly. 10 secondster, Legs''s virtual game interface lit up a notification.


    --------


    Predator has been fed with the Nightmare Beast Gene Limit Remover


    Predator''s natural Gene Limit has been removed


    ¡­


    Name: Predator


    Race: Nightmare Beast [Infinite Potential]


    -------


    On seeing that sweet term of infinite, it was Legs''s turn to purr in contentment as he finally sat down on the cave floor satisfied.


    Predator''s strength did not experience an immediate increase, but its potential was now as fearsome as fearsome could get.


    Nightmare Beasts were renowned for their only 2 passive skills, Darkness Regeneration and Darkness Supplementation.


    Darkness Regeneration enabled them to recover health points passively faster than every other beast through the darkness. Supplementation enabled them to passively grow stronger by simply basking in darkness.


    With their increased potential, these 2 passive skills were even more OP now.


    With these, Legs got all that he needed to escape this ind. His eyes shone as a lot of ns started spiraling in his mind.

 Chapter 11 Power Ranking And Predators Training

    Criminals were sent to the Nightmare Ind by the Summoner Academy and other academies for them to fight for their survival.


    The trail of the Nightmare Indprised 5 visits to this deadly ind. So long as a criminal survived all 5 visits here, he was a free man again.


    After they were dropped on the ind, Legs was not the only one who was wise enough to slip away. Those who stayed to fight among themselves were the na?ve newbies who knew nothing about the dangers of the ind.


    Legs had no intentions of returning to the Summoner Academy, and since every visit to the indsted a month, he had less than 30 days to make his preparations to escape.


    Escaping through the sea was suicide since it was even more dangerous than the ind. The only way to escape was to outsmart their captors.


    After thinking for hours, Legs discovered that the only way to escape was a monthter when the warriors from the academies came to take them back.


    If he could outsmart them and hijack a Mountain Toad, then his escape was half-way to sess. His n was good but he also recognized its weaknesses, he could not implement this n and seed alone.


    To seed, he needed the help and cooperation of the veteran criminals in the ind. Strength in numbers was the way to go for his n.


    Despite arriving at the n already, Legs had no intentions of going to tell the criminals yet. When dealing with criminals, you needed to have the strength to back your words or you would simply be ignored or squashed to death.


    Legs learned this from experience, not books.


    This was why the first phase of his n was getting stronger. As a Summoner, the best way to get stronger was by increasing the strength of his contracted beast.


    As one of the co producers of Dominator, before his death and subsequent reincarnation, Legs knew that the game had a chronological power ranking.


    Though he knew, he still inquired from his interface to confirm it.


    --------


    Power Ranking:


    Grade F


    Grade E


    Grade D


    Grade C


    Grade B


    Grade A


    Grade S


    Grade SS


    Grade SSS


    -------


    Back on earth, Legs remembered that the Grade SS and Grade SSS realms were still experimental, they were part of the upgrades that they intended to implement before the explosion interrupted everything.


    He wondered if these 2 ranks were already operational in this world. Well, that didn''t matter now, what mattered was Predator''s training.


    Legs turned to face Predator. "Wanna go hunting, Predator?"


    The young Nightmare Beast jumped to show his enthusiasm, making Legs smile but once he turned to face Lucky, his face fell.


    "Don''t even try to coarse me into training, you are yet to pay me the rewards that you promised on helping you locate na?ve Predator".


    "I-I''ll pay once we leave the ind".


    "I''ll train once we leave the ind". The yellow fox licked her paws nonchntly, leaving Legs feeling like his brain was on fire.


    "How the f*ck did I end up with such a pet? This can''t be karma, right?"


    Despiteining though, Legs was notpletely clueless. After spending a few hours with Predator and Lucky, he already understood their personalities. Predator was pretty simple, foolish but lovable.


    As for Lucky, this Star Fox was too clever for her own good. She was shrewd,zy, and difficult to understand but Legs already got her Achilles heel.


    She was rewarded as his pet for a reason. Just like him, Lucky was extremely curious, curiosity was her Achilles heel.


    "Come on Predator, since Lucky don''t want to go, we''ll get to see the Nightmare Dragons alone. I heard these bad boys are the most fearsome in the whole ind, capable of obliterating even heavens".


    Predator was soon jumping around excitedly as Legs spoke.


    Lucky pretended not to give a damn but as her 2panions walked away, she finally reacted. "Umm, are Nightmare Dragons real? Not that I''m curious, I just wanted to know".


    "Of course, they are real".


    "Well, if you still need my invaluable help, I can pity you and¡­"


    "Thank you, Lucky". Legs''s smile was wide.

    Predator has killed a young Silverback Gori: Grade F


    You have gained 580 Experience points


    -----


    After a fierce battle against a young Silverback Gori that suddenly broke out from the forest in the ind, Predator finally emerged victoriously.


    Predator was injured from the battle and like usual, Legs appeared from the forest where he hid before applying healing ointments on its body.


    This was the fighting style of Summoners. Just like in the game, here, Legs could hide at a safe distance while he controlled his contracted beast to fight through their telepathic connection.


    The telepathic control was not exactly like ying a game. Predator still had full control over its own thoughts and attacks, all Legs did was give it directives on how to fight better and more effectively kill its opponent.


    As a veteran at this, with Legs''s help, a 2-year-old Predator was able to kill this powerful Silverback Gori after killing 3 other beasts in a row already.


    As Legs patted Predator''s head,mending its performance, Lucky suddenly alerted them. "3 Wind Coyotes spotted ahead".


    For this hunt, Lucky served as the scout of the team, she had impable eyesight and smelling sense that could sniff enemies from afar.


    Once she alerted them, Legs worked faster on applying the healing ointment but before he was done, he could already hear the sounds of thudding ws on the forest floor and the growl of the adult Coyotes.


    "Roar!"


    Legs rolled fast out of the danger zone as Predator roared angrily before pouncing on the 3 coyotes at the same time without even thinking.


    Knowing the simple-minded personality of his contracted beast, Legs did not order it to attack otherwise, rather, he rapidly observed the 3 enemy Coyotes to discover how he could assist Predator to take care of them.


    Beasts grow stronger by fighting, killing, and devouring the beast cores of other beasts amid a host of other factors which gives them experience points, and Predator was just 2 years old, he was no match for 3 adult Coyotes alone.


    Feeling the danger herself, for the first time, Lucky hissed in rm as a subtle green glow suddenly radiated with her as the center.


    "Luck glow!"


    On seeing the physical manifestation of the legendary luck glow, Legs''s nerves calmedpletely. He simply let Predator do what he wanted.


    The 3 adult Coyotes boxed Predator in to attack him from 3 sides but mid-movement, luck yed against them and one of them got their legs stuck in a tree root. The momentum went against the adult Coyote and it fell defenselessly.


    Predator''s eyes shone as it instantly pounced on the Coyote.


    The massive beast tried to struggle but the smaller Nightmare Beast''s sword-like teeth dug into its neck, Predator''s tusks also stabbed it, injuring it even further as the Coyote cried in pain.


    The 2 other Coyotes were rmed as they tried to help but in mere seconds, the first one was already dead. Predator turned to face them.


    Again coincidentally, the angle at which one of the Coyotes ran at made it collide against Predator''s tusk as the tusk stabbed all the way through.


    Predator instinctively activated his w Barrage skill next as his deadly ws wrought destruction on the beast, the Coyote was close to death in no time.


    Thest Coyote was already close as it tried to bite the back of Predator''s neck, but this was when Legs arrived with his alloy sword.


    Whoosh!


    With one movement of his sword, the Coyote lost its head. Legs killed thest Coyote as blood flowed from its body.


    Despite the pain that he experienced, once all 3 Coyotesy dead on the forest floor, Predator turned to look at Legs proudly.


    Legs smiled. "Yes, you did good".


    "No pain, no gain".


    As Legs led his pet and his contracted beast back to his cave, he essed his virtual game interface and spent a part of his experience points.

 Chapter 12 Arranging A Meeting

    2 weekster in the Nightmare Beast Ind¡­


    The sounds of rustling leaves reverberated in the forest inside the ind as a group of 3 powerful Golems pursued a cute yellow Fox, a menacing young Nightmare Beast, and azy-looking human warrior.


    About 15 to 20 minutes ago, the trio were roaming through the forest looking for prey like usual when they came before this unusual cluster of stones.


    Like usual, Lucky was content withzing around all day and staying in the back where she could sate her curiosity with all that went on at the front.


    Legs was busy analyzing what was up with the stones while like usual, Predator went forward like a brute to probe the unusual looking stones.


    "Wait¡­"


    Legs barely spoke before the rocks sprang up and grabbed the unsuspecting Nightmare Beast. 2 weeks ago, Predator would have surely fell victim and be strangled but now, Predator was able to react.


    In the past 2 weeks, Predator experienced the quickest growth.


    Not only by fighting, killing, and devouring other beast''s beast cores but Legs also helped it eat a special Nightmare fruit that increased all its stats.


    Instantly after the rocks moved, Predator moved also as it activated both its Scale Defense and w Barrage skills.


    The attack enabled Predator to shatter some of the stones, but it also angered the Golem monsters as all 3 angered Golems fully awakened.


    After they fully awakened, Legs could finally see their status.


    --------


    [Golem Monster]


    Affinity: Rock


    Level: 20


    Grade: F


    [Attributes:]


    STR- 75, DEX- 20, VIT- 100, INT- 5, MYS- 10, CHA- 2, LUK- 10

    Mana Points [MP]: 2,300/2,300


    [Active Abilities:]


    -        Headbutt


    -        Rock Throw


    -        Stone Maniption


    -------


    All 3 Golems had almost the same stats.


    Once Legs saw the health points of these golems, his will to fight them deted as he instantly ordered Predator to run and not fight.


    Predator felt extremely unwilling but since it was an order from its master, it had no choice but to run too as Lucky was already miles ahead escaping.


    This was how the present scene came about as Legs escaped with his contracted beast and his pet. He was not just escaping, due to how valuable the beast core of Golems was, Legs had no intentions to miss this rare opportunity.


    As he ran, he observed the forest to find the best windows of opportunity to engage his attack. Just 5 minutester, one opened up.


    On top of a tree, Legs sighted a mature Nightmare Beast lurking. Nightmare Beasts were the apex predators of the ind, and seeing this one, Legs knew that this was the window of opportunity that he sought.


    ------


    You have activated skill: Beast Tamer


    You havemunicated with an adult Nightmare Beast


    You have attempted to tame an adult Nightmare Beast¡­, attempt failed!


    ----


    Roar!


    The mature Nightmare Beast was thoroughly angered by the effrontery disyed by this human to even contemte trying to tame it.


    Its hotblooded personality came into y as it jumped down from the tree. As soon as it jumped, Legs stopped and turned, running straight into the 3 Golems.


    Predator instinctively followed its master and a 3-peat battle started. A sh between the camp of the Golems, Legs''s camp, and the adult Nightmare Beast started as Lucky smoothly retreated into the background.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    After just a few exchanges, the adult Nightmare Beast established himself as the strongest monster around as it beat all 3 Golems at the same time.


    The Golem''s headbutt, rock throw, and stone maniption skills were all deadly but they stood no chance before the sword-like teeth and saber-like ws of this adult Nightmare Beast.


    Predator was in the heat of all this action, being tossed around like a dog while Legs hid behind the 3 Golems whose aggression was now on the adult Nightmare Beast. The battle continued like this for 3 minutes.


    In the 4th minute, the first Golem died as it was shattered to pieces. Before the Nightmare Beast could attack again, sword light shone.


    ------

    With the human stealing its kill, the adult Nightmare Beast was even more angered as all its attention was now focused on Legs.


    Legs grinned because this was what he wanted, the adult Nightmare Beast was now distracted and he already gave orders telepathically to Predator who executed them without hesitation.


    Predator activated both w Barrage and Lethal Bite as he pounced on the bigger Nightmare Beast. Originally, this was nowhere enough to kill this monster but having struck a deal with Legs, Lucky intervened.


    Once the embracing glow of the luck glow came, Predator''s normal attacks became lethal. Consecutive critical hits destroyed the Nightmare Beastpletely.


    The beast died while still not understanding how it died.


    -----


    Predator has killed an adult Nightmare Beast: Grade F


    You have gained 1,100 Experience points


    ----


    "Good job, Predator".


    "You too, Lucky". Legs added before Lucky could protest.


    The adult Nightmare Beast was all Predator''s as he enthusiastically started feasting on it, devouring its beast core in the process.


    Legs picked up the 3 rock-like beast cores of the Rock Golem, he kept 2 in his hunting bag before throwing one towards Lucky which the cute Fox swallowed.


    Seeing no reaction as the Fox jumped to swallow the beast core, Legs clicked his tongue. "You''re a disciplined fe, I see".


    "Didn''t even flinch when seeing such a valuable beast core up for grabs".


    Legs got no reply as he spoke but he only smiled. He suddenly looked up as his eyes which were too deep to be those of a 15-year-old red into the eyes of the Pugilist Criminal who perched hidden on top of a tree.


    Once their eyes met, the criminal reacted instantly to escape but in the short time of their eyes meeting, Predator already ran ahead to block his path.


    The criminal turned back only to meet Legs before him, he was cornered, he had nowhere to run as he swallowed his saliva nervously before speaking.


    "Y-you can''t live forever; you''ve already angered the Gang Leader".


    "Our brothers that you killed; you''ll pay for their lives a thousandfold".


    "The Gang Leader told me to tell you this".


    "Yeah, I get you". Legs casually waved the criminal''s words off. "Listen to me, go meet your boss and tell him that I want a peace meeting in 30 minutes".


    "Tell him that it is about how to escape this ind".


    "Also, point of correction, I didn''t kill your brothers, they are all just my temporary captives till I and your Gang Leadere to a consensus, understood?"


    "¡­"


    "Understood?"


    "Y-yes, Lord Young Nightmare".


    Legs smiled. "I''m ttered".

 Chapter 13 Give Me 2 Weeks

    During the past 2 weeks spent in the Nightmare Beast Ind, even as a lot of criminals died, others made names for themselves like Legs.


    The Nightmare Beast Ind was a dangerous ce that housed powerful monsters up to Grade D, most especially the alpha Nightmare Beasts.


    The reason why some of the criminals survived was that they lingered only in the periphery while the Grade D monsters lived at the heart of the ind.


    Apart from its danger, the Nightmare Beast Ind was home to a lot of treasures like the Nightmare fruit that Predator ate but the criminals were too busy worrying about their survival to care about treasures.


    After getting Lucky and Predator, with his boundless knowledge as a veteran Summoner, Legs started his journey of training his beasts.


    In just 2 weeks, he was able to level up Predator so much that despite being just 2 years old, he was now able to stand his ground against some of the strongest Grade F beasts on the ind.


    Apart from shing with beasts, Legs also shed with the other criminals and this was where he got his new nickname of Young Nightmare.


    He had a Nightmare Beast, he was young, and sincerely, his feats already struck terror in the hearts of other criminals which motivated his nickname.


    Having captured 8 criminals already, he was already recognized as one of the most dangerous criminals on the Ind. Now that he had a bit of a reputation, he finally decided to start implementing his n of escaping the ind.


    After he spoke with the criminal, a meeting was arranged and 30 minutester, he was seated before one of the Gang Leaders of the criminals on the ind.


    The powerful bald Grade F Pugilist was called bhead. He didn''t see it as an insult, he rather saw it as aplement for hisrge and extremely hard head.


    "Lord Young Nightmare".


    "Lord bhead".


    The Pugilist didn''t care that his guest was a kid. In the supers'' world, strength was all that mattered, it was the most respected thing.


    "My man told me that you had a n to escape the ind".


    "Yes". Legs smiled.


    "Tell me".


    Legs did not leave him hanging. He exined his train of thought to the criminal, and also exined the reason why he came to meet him.


    "Unlike you, I don''t know the other criminals well. I want you to serve as my middleman who will exin my ns to them andpel them to join".


    "What makes you think I''ll agree to your n?" bhead narrowed his eyes.


    "Because it is your better chance at survival". Legs smiled. "This is your 3rd time here, you survived your 1st and 2nd, but you and I know that nothing is set in stone. Just one encounter with a Grade D beast is all it takes for you to lose it all".


    The bald Pugilist took a deep breath. "I have to admit that your n is sound but it will not work".


    "There are 2 Grade E superhumans on the ind, they are the defacto leaders. Without their approval, nothing you say stands".


    Legs kept his smile. "I know, that is why I have another n".


    "Tell them that in 2 weeks, I will be a Grade E Summoner".


    "¡­" The Pugilist scratched his head. "What?"


    "Give me 2 weeks, I will be a Grade E Summoner then".


    Legs stood up the next moment without allowing bhead time to react. "I will fulfill my part of the n, make sure to fulfill yours".


    "W-wait¡­"


    Legs was gone before he could fully vocalize a word.


    bhead scratched his bald head again. "Bing a Grade E Summoner in 2 weeks?" He turned to face his man. "Is that kid drunk?"


    ¡­


    After returning to his cave, Legs evaluated his options.


    His bold talk of bing a Grade E Summoner in 2 weeks was not said on a whim. Fulfilling it under such a time limit was hard but nowhere impossible. If he yed his cards right, he could achieve it.


    Another reason for his confidence was Lucky and Predator''s outrageous growth speed. Combining luck and infinite potential was really a messed-up cheat.


    He believed that both of them would get to the Grade E realm even faster than him, and this was a good thing since it would aid his escape.


    After making ns in his mind, he slept to rest for a few hours before waking up. Once he was up, the grind continued as they fought and killed beasts.


    Also, that day, he released the 8 criminals that he captured as a show of goodwill and his sincerity to bhead the Gang leader.


    As the days counted, Predator showed even more promise as he continued getting stronger and stronger. Being a Star Fox, though Lucky also grew, she didn''t get offensive abilities yet due to her bloodline limitation.


    Legs guessed that she would only be a fighter after maybe her first evolution that would awaken the primordial powers in her.


    As Legs trained with his pet and his contracted beast, in the blink of an eye, a week already passed and both Lucky and Predator did not disappoint his expectations. Both finally became Grade E beasts.


    -------


    Congrattions! Your pet Lucky has be a Grade E Beast

    Predator has received Bonuses


    -----


    To Legs''s surprise, after their grade level up, only Predator''s was smooth sailing. For some reason, Lucky''s evolution stalled as she was left in aa.


    For the next few days, he had to take care of theatose Lucky while still hunting and training with Predator. 2 days before the 2-week mark, Legs leveled up again to level 20 and finally received his notification.


    -----


    Congrattions! You now have enough strength to level up a grade


    Fulfill the Grade E Mission to level up.

    On seeing this, Legs clicked his tongue. "As expected, just like the game".

 Chapter 14 Basic Summoner Knowledge- Organic Connection

    Of the Gang Leaders among the criminals that were offloaded in the Nightmare Beast Ind, the Frost Crane and Afro Pugilist were the defacto leaders.


    The Frost Crane was the one recognized as the stronger of the 2, and this powerful criminal ruled arge part of the periphery of the ind.


    His turf was called the Rock territory.


    This powerful criminal was a Grade E Summoner who already established his reputation and strength among the other criminals a long time ago.


    His contracted beast, the Frost Crane was the reason for his nickname and his tyranny. Not only was the massive Crane able to breath ice and manipte it, the Crane also had all the deadly qualities of any beast Crane.


    The Rock territory experienced activity like usual as the gang members of the Frost Crane went about their daily activities, hunting and killing beasts.


    Unknown to them though, a stranger infiltrated their midst today.


    Legs finally acquired the required strength to level up a grade to the Grade E realm. Having passed through this process already during his previous life, Legs nned ahead toplete the grade level up mission.


    Having secretly studied the Frost Crane already during his 3 weeks here, Legs had in-depth understanding of his strength already.


    He probably even understood this criminal''s strength than the criminal himself. The Frost Crane was a Grade E Summoner already, but due to ack of resources, he could not make full use of his powers yet.


    The basic Summoner knowledge, Beast ne Metaphysics was the basic requirements for a Grade E Summoner to make full use of the main ss''s strength.


    Beast ne Metaphysics was what taught Summoners about the Beast ne where they could acquire their 2nd contracted beast.


    The Frost Crane did not have this important basic Summoner knowledge yet and was what gave Legs the confidence to try infiltrating his turf.


    Though the Frost Crane did not have this important basic Summoner knowledge yet, he had other basic knowledges and was why Legs targeted him.


    Legs hid in the forest that was close to the steep formation of rocks, and beside him stood Predator as they overlooked the enemy territory. Lucky was still unconscious and he had no choice but to leave her behind in the cave.


    He already arrived at his n but before he started, Legs turned to face Predator with a serious look as he essed the Nightmare Beasts'' status again.

    -------


    After bing a Grade E Nightmare Beast, apart from his improved stats, Predator finally had ess to make use of his darkness affinity powers.


    Seeing the 2 special abilities brought a smile to Legs''s face as he finally gave his contracted beast the order to move in.


    "Predator, do it!"


    Roar!


    Once the loud roar reverberated across the Rock territory, all the criminals in this turf were rmed as they recognized the roar as that of a Nightmare Beast.


    Before they could react, Predator who after his grade level up was now as huge as a mature male Lion pounced out of his hiding spot into their midst.


    The menacing Nightmare Beast was not recognized, not many people knew about Predator''s grade level up. Predator was ruthless as he started a rampage immediately across therge Rock territory.


    Screams filled the background as the criminals tried to rally together to fight the Nightmare Beast to the extent that even the Frost Crane himself was drawn out. Once the Frost Crane was drawn out, Legs moved.


    Instantly after he moved, his Call of the Wild and Jungle Cruise passive abilities were triggered as his speed increased while he blend more into his surroundings which further prevented the criminals from noticing him.


    Legs avoided contact with all the criminals as he sessfully infiltrated the personal space of the Frost Crane.


    Once he entered the cave that was hidden in-between the rocks, he found the Frost Crane''s personal belongings. The set-up wasplicated though which meant that he had to search to get what he wanted.


    Legs started searching instantly but just 2 minutester, the loud cry of a Crane reverberated as the temperature in the cave dropped a few degrees.


    "So, you''re the culprit, naughty kid".


    "How dare you enter my cave you arrogant bastard?!"


    The Frost Crane was incensed. This notorious criminal was angered but he could not eliminate the intruder immediately since his Frost Crane was too big to fit into the narrow hole that led into the cave.


    Legs ignored the loud voice as pushed by the pressure, he searched faster and finally found the leather box that hid a bunch of books and pamphlets.


    "My treasures! Die filthy thief!"


    As the Frost Crane rushed into the cave, Legs randomly picked one of the books and opened it as his virtual interface lit up a notification instantly.

    Bam!


    The Frost Crane was a Summoner too but his stats were more powerful than Legs as he grabbed and pinned the kid to the cave wall with a menacing look on his face, the book fell in the process but Legs already achieved his goal.


    "What do you think you are doing?" He asked with a growl.


    Legs ignored him andughed while thinking. "It''s just like the game. Like I expected, I was able to learn the ss knowledge by just making contact with the book. Damn, I''m really a cheat in this world".


    "Answer!" The Frost Crane growled again.


    Legs finally answered but not with his mouth, he answered with his hands. With his grade level up, all his attributes also experienced an increase.


    As the boundless energy of a grade level up flowed through his body, his eyes briefly glowed green as he grabbed the Frost Crane''s hand.


    The Frost Crane''s eyes widened as he felt the little kid apply pressure to his hands. Not just the pressure, he recognized the familiar energy presence, without a doubt, this naughty kid just experienced a grade level up.


    Instantly, without a word, he released his hand from the kid''s neck.


    Legs calmly looked at him. "Can we talk?"


    "Ok". The Frost Crane nodded his head naturally like nothing happened.


    This was the authority of power. With just this power increase, things that were originally inconvenient to Legs became as convenient as flowing water.


    As the Frost Crane led the kid to sit down in his cave, only one word rang in his mind. "Give me 2 weeks, I will be a Grade E Summoner then".


    His eyes widened. "It''s not even 2 weeks yet!"

 Chapter 15 Preparations [1]

    "Did Lord bhead tell you about my n?"


    "I heard rumors".


    Legs nodded in a satisfied manner on hearing that which once again left the Frost Crane thinking about the real age of this man stuck in a kid''s body.


    "So, do you fully understand the n?"


    "Not fully".


    "Ok, let me exin then". Legs shifted on the makeshift chair that he sat on. "In essence, my n is just hijack their Mountain Toads and escape".


    "There''s no other escape n that can work unless stronger powers are introduced".


    "Our best shot that I theorized is hijacking their Mountain Toads, separating, escaping through the sea and hoping that we are not pursued and caught".


    "Also, I learned that 2 Grade E Superhumans are in charge of the warrior units sent to take us back. With me making the 3rd Grade E Superhuman here now, we already have our first advantage over them".


    Legs spoke some more for an additional 5 minutes to rify everything with this Grade E Summoner before he finally stopped.


    After he was done, the Frost Crane asked only one question. "Are you truly just a 15-year-old kid?"


    Legs smiled. "Guess".


    With that, the strange infiltration turned meeting finally came to an end. Legs was able to kill 2 birds with one stone,pleting the Grade E mission to be a Grade E Summoner and also luring the Frost Crane to his side.


    With 2 of the 3 Grade E Superhumans among the criminals already in on the n, thest of them, the Afro Pugilist was sure to join in also.


    The Frost Crane did not just agree to persuade the Afro Pugilist to support the n, but he also took on the mission of making all the criminals aware of the n. They had less than 2 days to fully prepare before the D-Day.


    Legs came to the Rock territory as a thief but he left as a lord.


    On getting outside, Predator was being tend to by the criminals. Legs entered the scene, mounted his contracted beast for the first time before finally riding out of the Rock territory with style.


    Legs returned straight to the cave to see Lucky safe but still in aa.


    He worried for the Star Fox. As Lucky was a package that was not present in the real game, he had no idea what to expect with it which worried him.


    Even with his zoologist profession, he knew nothing about a Star Fox.


    Despite his worries though, he put them all aside since like every other criminal here, he also needed to prepare for 2 dayster.


    The first thing that he did was essing his virtual interface status.


    -----


    Basic Summoner Knowledge- Organic Connection


    ----


    Legs was grateful for getting this ss knowledge. The organic connection knowledge gave a Summoner deeper understanding of his contracted beast which through mysterious means builds an organic connection between them.


    With this organic connection, both of them were tied together even more. If one of them leveled up a grade, the other was sure to follow soon.


    This basic knowledge in Legs''s previous life was what enabled some untalented Summoner''s rise to the peak when he lucked on a legendary beast.


    This lucky devil became a Grade S powerhouse because of his beast.


    Of course, though Legs left them, he never gave up on the other ss knowledge that the Frost Crane had, he only exercised patience. He had a better and lesspromising n already to get them.


    With that, Legs smiled and finally decided to check his virtual status.

    -------


    Apart from the game interface status remark that was a bit harsh, everything else about his new status look made Legs smile.


    The strength increase grows as superhumans level up through higher grades, so Legs was not discouraged that he did not be a god immediately.


    "No rush, no stress, I just need to take it steady and I''ll get there".


    ¡­


    A dayter, somewhere in the Nightmare Beast Ind¡­


    2 Grade E Superhumans sat on top of a massive boulder in this dangerous ind as they looked at the boundless body of water that made up the sea.


    The burly Pugilist on Afro turned to face his leaner counterpart and asked bluntly. "What do you think of him?"


    "The boy?"


    "Yeah".


    "Well, I''m not sure but he''s definitely abnormal. Not just his speed of progression, everything about that kid feels abnormal".


    The Frost Crane rubbed his head. "I think it''s that Fox of his, I''m certain it''s a special beast, it probably bestows him with incredible luck". His face lighted up with greed as he said this.


    The burly Pugilist snorted. "I don''t care who that mofo is or what Star Fox he has, all I care about is escaping out of the grasp of those motherf*ckers".


    "If he can help me with that, then I''m satisfied".


    "See you tomorrow, I''ll go drive some motivation into those blockheads so they can master the n more perfectly, I want no one f*cking me up, humph!"


    The Afro Pugilist jumped down from the boulder with a thud and left. The Frost Crane shook his head before also jumping down.


    For the remaining parts of the day, every criminal in the Nightmare Beast Ind worked hard on mastering the escape n under the rules of the 3 Lord criminals, the Frost Crane, the Afro Pugilist, and the Young Nightmare.


    In the blink of an eye, night came and not too longter, morning came.


    The morning see breeze blew like usual across the ind as the sun rose from the horizon, the D-Day was finally here.


    Legs left to visit the Frost Crane that morning.


    "I need a bag to carry a living beast without it suffocating".

 Chapter 16 Preparations [2]

    "I need a bag to carry a living beast without it suffocating".


    The Frost Crane stood on top of a boulder that morning as he looked at the sun rise from the east. The golden glow brightening his face also brightened his mind.


    His short white hair embraced his head more tightly as the morning breeze blew from the sea, the sounds of the sea waves also reached his ears.


    Today was the D-Day of their escape.


    On hearing what the kid now renowned as the Young Nightmare said, he nodded and without a word led him to his cave where he brought out the aforementioned bag to carry a living beast.


    Once Legs got his hands on the special bag, he was about to turn around to leave but he hesitated, drawing the attention of the Frost Crane in the process.


    "Do you need anything else?"


    "Actually, yes". Legs took a deep breath.


    For the past 2 days after he became a Grade E Summoner, though he did not have the chance to be friends with the Frost Crane, both of them already cooperated enough to understand and respect each other.


    Legs finally spoke. "I want to buy a subss from you".


    The Frost Crane kept quiet for 10 seconds before he finally spoke. "What is the payment?"


    "I''ll owe you a favor". Legs said this with all seriousness.


    After the past 2 days, he already ssified the Frost Crane as an intelligent superhuman. If the Frost Crane was as intelligent as he thought, then he would surely know that making him owe a favor was a great opportunity.


    At just 15 years old, he was already such a monstrous and intelligent Summoner, only God knew what he would be at 20.


    Like Legs expected, the Frost Crane was indeed intelligent.


    He equally spoke with all seriousness. "Can I trust your word on this?"


    "Yes".


    The Frost Crane nodded. "I have 2 subsses, the Beast Tamer subss and Agent subss".


    "Do you want one of both or the 2?"


    Legs made his decision instantly. "I''ll take the Agent subss".


    Again, Legs got to see the personal collection of the Frost Crane. His decision to choose the Agent subss was not made on a whim, he made the decision because he understood the benefits that it could bring.


    In the early stages, due to their weak personal strength, Summoners mostly made up with subsses and was what Legs intended to do.


    In this escape battle, he knew that he needed abat subss.


    The Frost Crane opened his leather box and brought out a pamphlet. Once Legs ced his hands on the pamphlet, his virtual game interface lit up.

    The Frost Crane eyed the young warrior. "Subsses take a long time to understand, learn, and master, you can''t possibly be thinking of learning it now, right?"


    Legs raised his head to look the Frost Crane in the eye and sighed inwardly as he remembered a meme from his previous world. "Comrades without knowledge, they don''t know what''s going on, they don''t know¡­"


    He fought hard to suppress his pity for the Frost Crane. "That''s impossible of course," heughed. "I''ll learn it after we escape".


    "Then I''m relieved". The Frost Crane smiled.


    The Frost Crane was about to motion for them to leave but Legs smiled. After having the Frost Crane open his leather box already, leaving like that would be too simple for him, he was too experienced to leave empty-handed.


    "Please, can I just look through your catalog of books?"


    The Frost Crane''s eyes narrowed as his aura instantly turned aggressive but Legs raised his hands in surrender. "Easy, easy¡­, I''m not opening them, I just want to look at their titles, won''t even take 5 seconds".


    The Frost Crane relented a bit but he remained vignt. "And what do you expect to gain?"


    "Let''s just call it getting pointers from a senior in the Summoner field. Just seeing the title of your books may help me a lot in my journey as a Summoner".


    In the end, after much sweet-talking, the Frost Crane relented. Legs grinned as he started picking the books, 2 minutester, his interface lit up.

    4 minutester, Legs turned to face the Frost Crane with a smile as he handed over his books and pamphlets back to him.


    Seeing that the kid kept to his words, the Frost Crane heaved a sigh of relief as he took his books back. "You''re really a trustworthy warrior".


    "I guess I am". Legs smiled shamelessly.


    Legs turned to leave. "See you in 30 minutes, and may God help us".


    "See you". The Frost Crane nodded with a slight smile.


    ¡­


    On returning to his cave, only Lucky was in the cave still unconscious, Predator was nowhere to be found as Legs sighed, exasperated.


    The hot-blooded Nightmare Beast seemed to feel needles pricking its butt, it almost never stayed in one ce, always feeling that itch to explore and hunt.


    After his visit to the Rock territory and his gains this morning, Legs was happy but this was not the end of his preparations for the escape.


    He still had onest thing to do which was to exhaust the gathered experience points that he gained over the past few weeks.


    To really grow, all superhumans needed main sses and sub-sses. Without any ss, superhumans who awakened the super gene could only level up to level 10 before their growth was capped.


    To level up further, they needed main sses and sub-sses.


    It was after getting his main ss and subss that Legs could level up further. 1 level for the main ss equaled an overall level up, but 2 levels for a subss was what equaled an overall level up for a superhuman.


    Legs''s Summoner main ss had 10 levels and his Beast Tamer subss had 20 levels. At level 20 now, he already leveled his Beast Tamer sub-ss to level 12 which was equivalent to 6 levels in his overall level up.


    As for his Summoner main ss, he already leveled it to level 4. After each level up, the experience points required to level up increased.


    After removing his deficit over the past few weeks, his grind alongside his pet and his contracted beast was able to amass him 15,000 experience points.


    Now, Legs was ready to splurge them all.


    ------


    2200 Experience points have been deducted


    You have leveled your Summoner main ss once to level 5


    ¡­


    3400 Experience points have been deducted


    You have leveled your Summoner main ss once to level 6

    1200 Experience points have been deducted


    You have leveled your Beast Tamer sub-ss once to level 13


    ¡­


    1700 Experience points have been deducted


    You have leveled your Beast Tamer sub-ss once to level 14


    ¡­


    400 Experience points have been deducted


    You have leveled up your Agent subss once to level 2


    ¡­


    600 Experience points have been deducted


    You have leveled up your Agent subss once to level 3


    ¡­


    ------


    After consecutive level-ups, Legs finally exhausted all his experience points with his Summoner main ss sitting at level 6, his Beast Tamer subss sitting at level 15, and his Agent subss sitting at level 6.


    His overall level was now level 30.


    Legs''s attributes now looked like this.

    ----


    Legs was now ready for battle.


    He stuffed Lucky in the breathable bag and mounted Predator before leaving to the arranged location where he saw the other criminals already gathered. There, they waited.


    An hourter, Mountain Toads were sighted swimming toward the ind.

 Chapter 17 Escape! [1]

    17 Massive Mountain Toads swam towards the Nightmare Beast Ind.


    These massive mutated Toads were some of the ultimate transport mounts across the sea. Not only were they good swimmers, they were docile to humans like horses, and they were tough enough to protect themselves in the water.


    On top of each Mountain Toad were 5 superhumans.


    Of the 17 Mountain Toads, 6 were adorned with the emblem of the Summoner Academy, 7 with the emblem of the Elementalist Academy, while the remaining 4 were adorned with the emblem of the Pugilist Academy.


    At their lead were 2 Mountain Toads that represented the 2 leading academies in this operation, the Elementalists and the Summoners.


    The Emissary of the Elementalist Academy was the Dirt Eater. This rough brown-haired man was the perfect example of an Elementalist Pugilist.


    He was an Elementalist but he looked like a Pugilist. His brown hairplemented his brown eyes and brown clothes that were filled with dirt. From his nickname, his affinity was clear, he was an Earth Elementalist.


    The Emissary of the Summoner Academy was the Blind Bandit. This powerful Summoner was renowned and feared for his 2nd contracted beast, the Fire Drake Tiger who was a powerful Tiger with a Draconic bloodline.


    His 1st contracted beast is a Quick-footed Kangaroo.


    These 2 superhumans were some of the strongest and most renowned Grade E experts of their respective academies, now they were both sent this time to bring the criminals who survived back to the academies.


    After they saw the ind which was their target from far away, it only took them 20 minutes more before they finally arrived before the ind.


    All 17 Mountain Toads climbed into the ind before lying down on the shore where they rested to recover their energy from the long journey.


    While they rested, the 2 Grade E superhumans each assembled the warriors from their academy while the pugilists had their own separate gathering.


    Once they were ready, the warriors were sent out into the ind to go look for the criminals and announce to them that it was time to leave.


    From previous experiences, by now, a lot of the criminals would be dead already and the few that survived would be traumatized by the ind. Once they saw the warriors from the academies, they would follow unconditionally.


    At such fragile mental states, meeting the warriors from the academies was like seeing an oasis in a dry desert to them.


    As their warriors left to go find the criminals, the Dirt Eater turned to face his rival with a grin, exposing his rotten teeth in the process. "I feel a sudden urge to kill, my intuition tells me that there would be a war, hahaha".


    "Well, to hell with your intuition". The Blind Bandit rubbed his beard. "I hope to finish this mission and get going in 40 minutes maximum, you better cooperate".


    "You wish goat, I''ll never feel pressured before a goat like you".


    The Blind Bandit was about to reply but he paused and turned his head to the side the next moment only to see a dagger flying just past his cheek. The wind pressure from the dagger flying past cut his cheek open as blood flowed.


    The Dirt Eater was fast as he instantly went on the defensive. Once he raised both his hands, the earth responded to his will as they rose and erected a shield.


    Bam!


    The earth shield barely rose and formed before it was punched into pieces.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    "Die motherf*cker!"


    The Afro Pugilist was a real monster at close range as his fists kept moving rapidly, creating sonic booms in the air with each swing.


    Pugilists were not just dangerous due to their physical strength, at the Grade E realm, they unlock Pugilist energy that empower their attacks.


    Pugilist energy was why they seem undefeatable at close range.


    The Dirt Eater could only do so much at close range. Once a fist connected to his chest, it was like all his bones shattered as he flew back like a canon ball. The Afro Pugilist was not done as he instantly turned to face the Summoner.


    "What the heck do you think you are doing¡­?"


    The Afro Pugilist responded with his powerful fists.


    In the blink of an eye, the 2 strongest warriors in this emissary party were beaten back, spooking the other academy warriors who turned to help them.


    Instantly after they turned, they exposed their backs as the criminals who were already waiting for this moment attacked. Whistling sounds filled the air as daggers flew like a rain of arrows towards the warriors.


    Over a dozen warriors were heavily injured instantly as they tried to recover their formation. While focusing on this, they failed to get the full picture and were unable to see the Summoner who already flew past them on a Crane.


    Everything was happening so fast.


    Of all the main sses, Pugilists were the most explosive and the Afro Pugilist fully embodied this attribute as his presence was like an unstoppable canon.


    He was a pivotal part of Legs''s n and he fulfilled his role, singlehandedly disrupting the tempo of the 2 enemy Grade E superhumans.


    Before they could recover, the cry of a Crane rang in the air. The White Crane descended on his Crane as together, they annihted all 6 of the warriors who were tasked to protect 5 of the Mountain Toads.


    The White Cranended on the first Mountain Toad.


    Instantly after hended on it and the Mountain Toad moved, this was what rmed the 2 enemy Grade E Superhumans.


    Originally, they thought that this was a frustrated criminal venting their anger on them by attacking but so many criminals attacking together and this level of coordination was already above normal.


    This was definitely a nned attack!


    They were shocked and dared to no longer hold back.


    "Skull, Tango,e out!"


    The Blind Bandit shouted after being attacked by the Afro Pugilist again as he disyed the real strength of a Grade E Summoner.


    Instantly after he shouted, a rainbow-colored portal opened beside him through which arge Kangaroo and a massive Tiger engulfed in fire charged out.


    Roar!!!


    The Fire Drake Tiger announced his presence with a mighty roar even as the fire surrounding it was spread towards the criminals in a lethal attack.


    Once the Tiger and Kangaroo came out, the Afro Pugilist pulled out of the battle and retreated as he seemed to turn into a prime fantasy Usain Bolt.


    In just 2 seconds, he covered yards of space as he arrived before a 2nd Mountain Toad and mounted it. The 2 mounted Mountain Toads obeyed the orders of their new riders as they turned to go back to sea.


    The n was always going to have a lot of sacrifices. The enemies were too powerful, to win, the n was to attack fast, disrupt them, and escape fast.


    Those that were able to escape were the lucky ones but those who died were of course the sacrifices, the criminals were all resigned to their fates.


    A great factor that enabled this easy pration to escape was the 2 enemy Grade E superhuman''scency. They were used to this drill for so long already that they never expected a conspiracy from the criminals.


    They underestimated them and was why they were disrupted so embarrassingly. They f*cked up, but they were determined to remedy it.


    With their pride hurt, the Blind Bandit and the Dirt Eater sought to restore it as they both pursued after the 2 escaping Mountain Toads with all their might.


    All their attention was now focused on the 2 escaping Grade E Experts and this exposed their backs. They didn''t know the danger of exposing their backs to an unknown expert, not that they expected there to be another expert.


    Hidden between a thick bush, Legs grabbed the arrow that was provided by the Frost Crane as he kept and maintained his aim on the 2 Grade E warriors.


    The n was never just the 3 Grade E criminals escaping. If that was so, none of the other criminals would willingly support them. For the n to seed, everyone had to be carried along and he already ounted for all those.


    With his marksman passive ability, his 2 targets seemed close to him. Legs kept his aim for 2 seconds before releasing the 2 arrows.


    "Game on!" He growled.


    Whoosh!

 Chapter 18 Escape! [2]

    Whoosh!


    Instantly after the 2 arrows left the bow, the 2 targets felt goosebumps.


    The time window was too small for them to make any extensive defensive efforts, the Dirt Eater curled himself up in a ball and grabbed with his hands as earth rapidly rose from the ground to form a basic shield round about him.


    As for the Blind Bandit, he could only protect his vitals before the arrow mmed into his stomach as blood flowed like rain.


    2 grunts reverberated in the battlefield as the 2 Grade E superhumans fell to the side. The Elementalist was able to recover not longter but the Blind Bandit lingered on the ground longer as his 2 contracted beasts went berserk.


    Legs clicked his tongue. "Next time, as a Summoner, never feel too confident to require the protection of your summoned beasts".


    "This is the power of an Agent Summoner!"


    Legs spoke in a deep pretentious voice before jumping out of his hiding spot into the battlefield.


    Alongside him arrived Predator, the young but huge Nightmare Beast who wanted nothing more than to dine in blood at this moment.


    Alongside his contracted beast with his basic alloy sword on his hand, and Lucky safely on his back, Legs started a massacre through the academy warriors.


    Summoners were some of the weakest Grade E superhumans when it came to physical strength, but their strength still dwarfed Grade F superhumans.


    Legs''s massacrested only an instant as the 2 injured but thoroughly angered Grade E Superhumans rose up again. The Dirt Eater was extremely incensed as his anger now fueled his strength.


    Rocks rose from the ind as this powerful Elementalist sprinted towards Legs while flinging massive rocks left and right like they were small stones.


    Criminals were crushed to meat paste once they made contact with any of the rocks. The Dirt Eater''s rampage was the least of worries though, the Fire Drake Tiger and the Quick-footed Kangaroo already came to avenge their master.


    Roaring sounds filled the battlefield as the Fire Drake Tiger did what it was best at, spreading destructive fire even as it pounced and did personal killing.


    The Kangaroo was named quick-footed for a reason. Before this Kangaroo, the great Bruce Lee was like a slow poke as it made weird noises while kicking rapidly with its leg. Each kick that connected sent a criminal to the afterworld.


    Once the Blind Bandit finally stood up, his eyes were no longer normal, they now glowed a pure red as fire burned in them.


    He mounted his Fire Drake Tiger as he red at Legs. "Such a young talented Summoner, a pity that you''ll have to die to me today".


    "Skull, onward!"


    The massive Tiger roared before sprinting towards Legs. Legs was not scared; hepletely ignored the Tiger and continued his massacre. Seconds before the Tiger pounced on him, Predator showed up.


    Roar!!!


    Both beasts roared at each other before pouncing on each other. Fire, dark energy, ws, teeth, tusks, they all collided in a great struggle of flesh and blood as both beasts bled.


    The Fire Drake Tiger was bigger and older, Predator was just 2 years old but having eaten a certain yam already, Predator stood its ground against the Tiger.


    The Quick-footed Kangaroo intended to help but a massive White Crane swooped down on it from the skies as another epic battle kickstarted.


    The Dirt Eater could no longer do much as the Afro Pugilist already returned to continue their epic showdown. This time, he was not alone, the White Crane also came back to assist the brute.


    As the original owner of the Agent subss that Legs learned, he already fully mastered and leveled up the subss, he was no slouch when it came to hand to handbat and he joined the battle as a pummeling started.


    With all the powerhouses now tied down, Legs was free to prey on the weak academy warriors as his virtual interface kept on lighting up with notifications.

    ¡­

    ----


    The Experience points kept on dropping like flowing rivers of water.


    This was all part of Legs''s mastern. This present set-up enabled most of the criminals to escape and start mounting the Mountain Toads even as others fought and were sacrificed in the great struggle.


    In the end, the renowned Blind Bandit and Dirt Eater could not overpower their opponents. Legs''s early devious attack did them really bad.


    After 14 grueling minutes of pure battle filled with blood, all the Grade F academy warriors that were sent by the academies were annihted.


    With them all eliminated, Legs turned to focus on the Grade E powerhouses. By now, most of their mana was already depleted after such a fierce battle but in terms of mana, Legs was still fresh and ready to go.


    With the evil elementalist stuck in his grey world, mana was not his problem, he had ess to unlimited mana and could keep up till forever if possible.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Once he joined the battle, the scales of the battle that were already against the 2 academy Grade E superhumans tipped even more against them.


    These 2 renowned Grade E superhumans were pummeled till embarrassment. The Frost Crane and the Afro Pugilists could not believe their eyes that they were actually beating such renowned experts in battle.


    When Legs made the meticulous n, they thought he was exaggerating at times but when execution time came, everything flowed so smoothly that it was unreal. Their enemies never saw thising.


    Perhaps, to reduce the embarrassment of the defeat, the Blind Bandit and the Dirt Eater kept resisting for an additional 5 minutes before they finally gave up.


    Both of them forgot their pride and escaped deep inside the ind with their tails behind their legs, the Afro Pugilistughed his ass out.


    "Hahaha, motherf*cking losers! Keep on running crazy ass pussies!"


    "Let''s go!" Legs was quick to remind them.


    They dared not waste time as they mounted the 3 remaining Mountain Toads that were left exclusively for the 3 of them. With the other criminals already mounted, they finally entered sea as the Mountain Toads started swimming away.


    All the criminals were still amazed by the feats achieved by this 15-year-old as they escaped, they kept on looking at him like he was an alien.


    Legs calmly took all their stares without flinching.


    20 minutester when they were already deep inside the sea and far away from the ind, he turned to face the Frost Crane and the Afro Pugilist.


    "Actually, research says if the armor of Mountain Toads is removed, they can move 2 times faster and can move another 3 times faster if they are stimted".


    "To stimte them, you have to have good knowledge about them which means that you need to at least be a zoologist".


    Legs gave the both of them the shooting hand sign as he started removing the heavy armor from his Mountain Toad. His hands soon touched some certain spots around the Mountain Toad''s body as its eyes shone the next moment.


    "Till we meet again brothers".


    The Mountain Toad soon sped up and left the others in the dust.


    All the criminals looked on in awe, the Frost Craneughed. "Afro, I think another legend of our is about to be born".


    "Humph, he needs to beat me first before bing a legend". The Afro Pugilist snorted as he looked at the disappearing silhouette of the kid Summoner.


    ¡­


    Back in the Nightmare Beast Ind, 2 Grade E superhumansid on the floor bloodied and exhausted.


    The Blind Bandit turned to look at his rival. "I know the Frost Crane and the Afro Pugilist, I have a history with them, they are definitely not this intelligent".


    Heughed. "So that means we were schemed and trashed by a kid, hahaha, so f*cking funny".


    "He didn''t trash me!"


    "I know, your bruised face was caused by your babe''s butt, hahaha".


    "F*ck off!"


    The Blind Banditughed till his lungs hurt.


    "All jokes aside though, we need to escape the ind and report this kid to the higherups. He''s surely something to floor us so effortlessly".

 Chapter 19 The Young Nightmare

    Ssh!


    Water sshed as the massive Mountain Toads finally left the sea.


    After hours of traveling through the Mountain Toads, to the relief of the criminals, the super Academies that previously imprisoned them did not send search parties to go after them immediately.


    This once again showed the young Nightmare''s genius. Not even the super Academies expected their envoy to fail the mission of bringing the criminals back.


    They already experienced so many smooth retrievals from the Nightmare Beast Ind that this sudden setback took them off-guard.


    Apart from the super Academies though, there were other dangers at sea. Not all of the Mountain Toads made it tond safely.


    With the experienced superhumans who could pilot them and use them to their fullest potential gone, most of the criminals still ended up dying at sea.


    The few that survived were all lucky. Those that survived of course included the White Crane and the Afro Pugilist who just fought a great battle.


    After finally setting their foot onnd, both of themy on the floor and bath in the sun a bit before the White Crane finally spoke. "I guess this is the end of our road together bouncing from one super prison to another".


    "Hahaha, you mad dog!" The Afro Pugilistughed loudly and remarked. "I always knew I was going to escape that shitty prison; the only question was when it would f*cking happen".


    "I''m gone!" All of a sudden, the Afro Pugilist stood up and started leaving.


    The White Crane was stunned. "Not even a goodbye".


    "F*ck you!"


    The White Crane was speechless, in the end, he alsoughed. "Wherever you go, watch out for the kid, I believe he''ll break out soon".


    The Afro Pugilist did not reply but the White Crane continued nheless. "I don''t fear his talent and strength, what I fear most is his unnatural maturity and intelligence for his age".


    He sighed. "The kid is a beast!"


    ¡­


    The Gwen Shelter, the Elementalist Academy building¡­


    The Gwen Shelter had academies for all 3 main sses in Darvis. Both the Pugilist and Summoner Academy buildings were erected deep inside the shelter, the Elementalist Academy was the only one that was built close to the sea.


    The cry of an eagle suddenly reverberated through the skies as the sentries guarding the massive gate of the Elementalist Academy looked up.


    On looking up, they saw a massive Golden Eagle flying through the skies. The odd thing though was the 2 humans who each grabbed one of the eagle''s legs tightly as they flew closer to the academy.


    The Captain of the sentries was about to order his subordinates to get ready to attack but he stopped the next moment, stunned. "Is that¡­, the Dirt Eater?"


    "Yes, it''s f*cking me! Let me in brother, don''t make this more embarrassing".


    "¡­" The Sentry Captain was left speechless. "Umm, ok".


    Just 5 minutes after they arrived, the news of the Dirt Eater and the Blind Bandit''s mission failure spread throughout the whole academy and beyond.


    Both Grade E superhumans sat before the Headmaster of the Gwen Shelter Elementalist Academy, one of the few Grade D superhumans in the shelter.


    This powerful Elementalist who had the same Afro hairstyle as the Afro Pugilist had a weird facial look. His disproportionate eyes and unsmiling face made the atmosphere all the more awkward before he finally spoke.


    "You are both here to report about your failure?" His eyebrows raised.


    "No sir, we came to report about the true strength and potential of the little kid Summoner who caused our failure". The Blind Bandit spoke with all seriousness, making the headmaster''s eyebrows raise all the more.


    "A kid caused aplete wipeout¡­?"


    "He''s no kid!" The Dirt Eater was quick to butt in as he stood up to gesticte wildly with his arms. "I can testify headmaster, that kid is a man, trust me, that kid is a man!"


    "A bonafide man, he''s definitely no kid".


    The Dirt Eater clicked his tongue in regret. "Only if I had the chance to check his underpants and see his rod then I''ll be sure".


    "¡­" The headmaster was speechless.


    "Ahem¡­" The Blind Bandit interjected again. "In essence, Legs may be a kid but his mentality and maturity are definitely not those of a kid''s".


    "He is super smart, dangerous, talented, and ruthless. He has qualities of a Summoner who had spent centuries learning and honing his skills to master the trade, he''s definitely not simple".


    "What is your point?" The headmaster asked.


    "My point is that Legs is not simple, he should be watched".


    The headmaster chuckled. "Just because you can''t ept your loss to a kid, you both are shameless enough to bring these ridiculous excuses".


    The Blind Bandit sighed in resignation before standing up. "That''s all sir".


    As for the Dirt Eater, he was reluctant to give up. "Headmaster, just give me the opportunity to catch and measure his rod and balls underneath his pants, you''ll be convinced".


    "Get out of my office!"


    Once they left, the headmaster''s face turned red like a tomato. "Perverts!"


    ¡­


    Legs escaped after 5 hours of journeying through the sea.


    After the sea sprint that he forced the Mountain Toad to embark on, once the Toad arrived onnd, it waspletely exhausted as ity down tiredly.


    After climbing down from its massive frame, Legs patted it twice to express his gratitude before he picked up his bag and left.


    The Mountain Toad just needed a few hours to fully recover, and it waspletely capable of taking care of itself in the wild.


    During the past few months, Legs made a lot of ns but his ultimate n was still to find the cause of his reincarnation.


    After getting into the grey world and after reading the letter of the so-called God of Games, he confirmed that he needed to get stronger to know more about his reincarnation but he didn''t bet all his hopes on the God.


    While getting stronger to meet with the God of Games, he would not relent, his curiosity would push him to try his best without the God to know the truth.


    As he thought of the future, Legs felt his blood boiling hot.

 Chapter 20 The Beta Testing

    Legs walked through a street filled with pedestrians and brushed past one of the more luxuriously dresseddies with a luxury purse.


    -----


    You have stolen a Luxury Purse


    >You have earned the Character Title: Thief<


    >You have learned the Passive Skill: Thief<


    -        Thief: This Passive ability increases your sess rate by 10% when picking pockets, and by 5% when engaging inrge-scale theft.


    ----


    It took a long time after Legs walked along that the chubbydy finally learned of her missing purse, she screamed in rm but the culprit already disappeared among the dozens of pedestrians.


    Aftering down from the Mountain Toad, Legs did not recognize his surroundings so he decided to spend the night in the woods.


    With Predator alongside him, he was no longer as vulnerable as before, he was now a real Summoner who could handle himself alone in the wild.


    The next morning, he hid the airbag containing Lucky in a safe location before leaving to find the nearest shelter. To avoid dragging too much attention, he told Predator to hide while he went inside the shelter alone.


    Of course, when entering a new location like this, the most important resource was money, and that was why he stole from the chubbydy.


    He was able to get 800 Darvis credits from her purse which was a lot. He used the money to go to a restaurant, have a nice meal, get a map of the shelter, and where he also got information about the shelter.


    ording to the information vendor, this was the Blue Scale Shelter.


    The name rang no bells in Legs''s head but he was not surprised, Dominator was so big that even as one of the game producers, it would be impossible for him to remember every single location in the beginners.


    One thing that stood out about this small shelter though was that the Pugilist Academy was the only established power in the region.


    There was no Elementalist and Summoner Academy, and the other powers were small friespared to the ruling Pugilist Academy.


    After leaving the Summoner Academy in the Gwen Shelter, Legs had no intentions of tying himself to another major power.


    After thinking for over 3 years, he already arrived at his perfect development temte and it involved him continuing his journey as a rogue warrior.


    With his knowledge, he would benefit more by roaming everywhere rather than tying himself to a single location.


    The only problem that he had though was some nagging curiosities that he still couldn''t satisfy. After 3 years in this world, he already confirmed that the Clown Society was not yet a major power on the.


    From his previous life, he already remembered part of the main storyline of this beginner. Darvis had 4 good organizations, the 3 academies of the main sses and the Hunter Union.


    Apart from the good organizations, there were 2wful evil organizations in the form of the Mercenary Online organization and the Crimson des which was an assassin organization.


    There was onest organization on Darvis though, the Clown Society which was the only chaotic evil organization on the whole.


    The Clown Society led by the viin called the Clown took a huge part of the main storyline, so Legs felt it weird to not have heard of them yet.


    "Are there some other differences between this world and the game?" He thought as he rubbed his chin.


    Legs felt even more baffled as he suddenly remembered something very important. "What of the yers? There''s no Dominator without the yers".


    The yers were the main catalysts of the game, the NPCs were all created to entertain the yers, and the yers were actually the most important pieces on this chess board so they absolutely could not be removed.


    As Legs thought of this, his virtual game interface suddenly lit up.


    ------


    Beta testing has been scheduled


    Retrieving Information¡­


    Retrieval Complete


    Countdown till Beta Testing: 14 Days


    Beta Test Period: 10 Days


    ¡­


    Version 1.0 Launch opening in 35 Days


    -----


    On seeing this, Legs was shocked. "Beta testing?"


    From his previous life, he also remembered this event that took ce 2 weeks before Dominator''s officialunch.


    Back then, most beta testing slots were bought by huge corporations or were taken by the game developers like him, only a few wereter released through normal yers through lottery tickets.


    This was when Legs also remembered that 5 days in Dominator tranted to a day in the real world. "Will this rule apply here too?" He was curious.


    If this rule applied, then he would surely have a great advantage over the yers once the game was finallyunched officially.


    Legs did not pay too much attention to it but knowing that Version 1.0 would officiallyunch in 35 days, he suddenly felt his mind at peace as it finally felt like he was returning to familiar ground.


    "This feels more like it".


    Legs was about to resume nning but his game interface lit up again.


    -----


    NPC functions unlocked!


    Discussion board unlocked!


    ----


    On seeing this, Legs was even more surprised. "Wow, I now have NPC functions unlocked and I even still retained the discussion board, damn!" He was hyped.


    As one of the game producers, Legs knew the NPC functions and also knew how lucky he was to have ess to such an exclusive cheat.


    The discussion board was where yers across the servermunicated. It was basically a worldwide group chat exclusive to yers.


    Legs instantly tried to ess the discussion board. He sessfully essed the discussion board but he could not register as a yer to chat there.


    In the end, only real yers could chat there but the fact alone that he could see their chats were already more than anything that he bargained for.


    "Well, this was unexpected, it calls for a celebration".


    As Legs ordered more drinks and food to celebrate this surprise from his game interface, he also started nning for his future.


    In the Blue Scale Shelter, the best way to get stronger was to either align with the main Pugilist Academy or any of the small fries to join the chaotic struggle.


    He didn''t want any of these 2 options though. "What if I can like just iste myself, stay in the middle, helping no sides, and reap benefits from both sides?"


    "Feels like a nice n, I should definitely try it out".


    "Lastly, I need to prepare for the grey world meeting, it''s in 5 days".

 Chapter 21 Call Me Sexy Chocolate

    After the money splurging at the restaurant, the money that Legs stole from thedy was finally exhausted which left him wanting more.


    His decision to join no sides in his quest to find the truth behind his reincarnation was optimal for his bountiful knowledge but it also had the hardest starting point.


    It was hard to fit in without choosing a side to join.


    After learning about the theoretical aspect of the Blue Scale Shelter, Legs finally did the needful and started having a first-hand experience of the shelter.


    The Blue Scale Shelter was called so because of the Blue Forest that was close to them and their close proximity to the sea. The sea and the Blue Forest were the greatest sources of danger that the Pugilists had to worry about.


    As he walked, he confirmed that this shelter was less developed than the Gwen Shelter and that the Pugilist Academy was the real ruling power here.


    Most supers here were Pugilists, there were hardly any Summoners or Elementalists which made the shelter look like it was made for gym freaks.


    Like in the game though, in every shelter where Pugilists were the dominant force, there was always chaos since these supers preferred brawn to brain.


    Apart from the regr beast invasion attempts from the Blue Forest and the sea, the small gang fights all over the city caused most of the chaos and battles.


    After walking miles around the shelter, Legs finally saw the massive Pugilist Academy. This building that was built like a tower had the statue of a bodybuilder at its entrance which was the trademark of the Pugilist Academy.


    Legs observed to his fill before leaving, he was off to find money.


    This time, he was not about to go engage in theft again. All he needed was to find the right candidate and just like with NPCs in his previous life, he knew how to get missions from them, he just had to improvise his speech a bit.


    Legs did not have to walk far before he found his target.


    ¡­


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    A group of warriors fought against each other as energy was constantly released from both sides. There was no destructive fire raging around, no raging tsunami of water, this was a physical brawl between both parties.


    The gang in brown was the winning side as alongside their Grade F Pugilist, they were able to overwhelm their enemies in ck attire.


    Every other person in the streets ignored the 2 fighting gangs. Those indoors shut their doors tighter, while those that were outdoors found ces to hide.


    After seeing the chaos, Legs clicked his tongue before walking closer. Seeing a 15-year-old kid walking toward them, the warriors of both gangs were shocked but they were too engaged to care about a young kid looking for death.


    Legs deliberately walked towards the side of the gang in ck.


    "Get out of here kid!" A warrior in brown yelled as his fist hit another face.


    Seeing the kid ignore him, this warrior was irritated as he instinctively kicked out with his leg to send the kid flying but the inexplicable happened.


    Bam!


    Legs grabbed the warrior''s leg with one hand, then he supported it with his other hand before snapping the leg, breaking the bones in the process.


    As the loud scream of the warrior reverberated, Legs finally seeded in getting the attention that he needed.


    "Such a young Grade E super!" All the warriors were shocked.


    Legs''s little feat was enough to reveal his grade and that was what he intended as he reacted instantly and flowed with the groove.


    "10,000 Darvis credits and an extensive map of the Blue Forest is my pay". Legs gave his price calmly amid all the chaos.


    "Help us!" The gang leader of the warriors in ck was quick to react after understanding the situation as he yelled the next moment.


    -----


    [You have received a new Grade F mission: Help the Fish-Smut Gang]


    [Mission Reward: 10,000 Darvis Credits, a hand-made expert map guide of the Blue Forest, and +10 Favorability]


    ----


    "¡­Fish Smut?" Legs was speechless as he directed a weird look at the leader of this gang, nevertheless, he acted.


    Legs unsheathed his basic alloy sword and sprang into action. He may be a Summoner who was weak physically, but as a martial artist practitioner in his previous life, he knew how to make use of his higher stats to bully these warriors.


    Legs had no intention of spilling blood during his first day here and that was why Predator remained hiding in the dark, he and his sword were enough.


    Once he entered, the momentum swung back in favor of the Fish Smut gang. Just 5 minutester, they were able to beat their opponents to a retreat.


    "F*ck you losers!"


    "You motherf*cking son of bitches!"


    "Run and never step foot in our territory again!"


    Legs wiped his sword with a cloth to rid it of the blood staining it before sheathing it back into its scabbard, this was when the leader of the gang came.


    "Brother, you were awesome, f*cking incredible!"


    "Yeah". Legs smiled. "My pay?"


    Even Legs had to admit that this felt awkward. His 15-year-old body was definitely now a limitation, the awkward atmosphere was unmatched as this hefty middle-aged Pugilist tried hard to hype and suck up to the little boy before him.


    This was the ultimate definition of cringe and both parties knew it.


    "Oh yeah, your pay, here it is".


    One of the gang members ran closer the next moment after preparing the package as the gang leader took hold of it.


    "Here are 10,000 credits and a hand-made expert guide of the Blue Forest".


    Once Legs took it, the leader of the Fish Smut gang smiled. "Brother, how may I address you? I''ll love for our rtionship to get better".


    "Just call me the Sexual Chocte".


    "¡­" Now, it was the gang leader''s turn to be stunned as he looked on, dazed.


    Legs did not wait for him as he turned to leave. "If you have any need for help, you''ll easily find me, consecutive prizes after this are 50,000 Darvis Credits".


    "Ahhh¡­, sure, sure, haha". The middle-aged manughed awkwardly.


    Legs did not care about the reaction of the warriors after he left. The first thing that he did after leaving was locating a nice inn where he could stay.


    After he paid, he entered the single-bedroom t and locked himself in his room where he spread the handmade map on top of the bed.


    Legs''s eyes flickered as he looked at it.

 Chapter 22 The Missing Leo

    Legs''s interaction with the 2 fighting gangs made hime to some realizations. Though mentally he never saw himself as a kid, he still had to bend to reality and admit that he currently had the body of a kid.


    His little body brought him a lot more problems than anticipated.


    If he was to demand respect and get the reputation that he wanted, he needed to find a remedy to fight against his current cute appearance.


    With the beta testing set tomence in 2 weeks, he needed to move fast. Now that he thought about it, no yer in their sane mind would leave the bunch of adult NPCs toe finding missions from a kid.


    He always guessed that meeting yers would help him in getting closer to the truth behind his reincarnation, he had no intentions of botching this.


    He made it a priority to find a solution to his current size and appearance before the beta testingmenced, he already had a few ideas in his mind.


    Apart from the problem of his size, after the gang fight, Legs also contemted his n to get stronger.


    As a veteran yer of Dominator, he knew that taking the grind approach of farming experience points through kills was a draining task. In this world now, he could not afford to take this approach.


    The next approach to get experience points and grow stronger faster was through missions, mostly main missions that were tied to the main storyline.


    His n for the next few weeks already changed to farming experience points through the beasts in the Blue Forest and the sea.


    After the beta testing, he still had another 3 weeks to prepare until the officialunch of version 1.0. In this time, Legs wanted to investigate the reason why the Clown Society was not yet famous and notorious.


    With his future knowledge, he knew that tying himself to the main storyline was the best way for him to get stronger and probably also satisfy his curiosity.


    Once he finishedying his ns down, Legs stood up, locked his door, and left the shelter where he soon met Predatorzing around outside the shelter walls.


    Hidden behind a thick patch of grass where Predator paced around hid the airbag which held Lucky. Having been tasked to protect the Star Fox, Predator spent the most boring hours of its short life stuck here.


    Once it saw Legs, it jumped and protested.


    "Hey, don''t worry, I''llpensate you, you wanna go hunting?"


    Predator instantly purred contentedly to show his excitement.


    Legs smiled at that before walking closer to pick up the airbag. Once he wore it on his back, he climbed Predator''s back as the Nightmare Beast sprinted away deep into the dangerous Blue Forest.


    ¡­


    Roar¡­!


    The Humpbacked Angry Lion''s roar was interrupted by Predator as the massive but young Nightmare Beast''s saber-like ws smacked its jaws.


    After Predator became a Grade E Nightmare Beast, he finally seemed to unlock more of the savagery, strength, and indomitability that was associated with its race as itpletely dominated this Lion in the battle.


    Hidden a few meters away in the forest, Legs only gave some basic instructions and pointers to guide Predator from making stupid mistakes.


    Despite the clear superiority of the Nightmare Beast, the Humpbacked Angry Lion was no slouch either as this veteran hunter''s strength was fueled by its anger.


    The angrier they got, the stronger they became which made it an even stronger opponent to Predator.


    Despite the powerful disy from the Lion though, Predator remained on top and emerged victorious after 8 grueling minutes of battle.


    -----


    Predator has killed a Humpbacked Angry Lion: Grade E


    You have gained 1430 Experience points


    ----


    Once the Lion died, a barely injured Predator regained his energy as he enthusiastically started feeding on the corpse of the massive Lion.


    Not even its beast core was spared as everything was devoured in minutes.


    Finding powerful beasts like the Humpbacked Angry Lion at the periphery of the Blue Forest was not toomon. For the next few minutes to hours, Predator only encountered Grade F beasts which it absolutely steamrolled through.


    The more Predator killed, the more its fighting instincts and decision-making improved. As Legs could feel the growing battle experience of his contracted beast, he started letting it solo most battles which Predator executed wlessly.


    Predator''s wless victories gave Legs the leisure to continue rehearsing his ns even while he protected the airbag holding Lucky.


    With Predator''s current strength, he was already a pretty strong Grade E Summoner but Legs still recognized that he was far from utilizing his full potential as a Grade E Summoner.


    To utilize his full potential, he needed basic Summoner knowledge. Another priority of his was finding avenues to get more basic Summoner knowledge.


    Legs turned to see Predator tear an Iron Pig in 2, he instinctively patted the airbag. "What''s going on in there? Is this shameless Fox still evolving or is she already taking a nap, hmm?"


    Legs continued grinding for experience with his contracted beast.


    ¡­


    The port of the Blue Scale Shelter was busier than usual today.


    Due to theck of Summoners and Beast Tamers in the shelter, most of the warriors here travel through boats. Today was different though as a Giant Sea Dolphin was spotted dragging a luxurious sea chariot to the port.


    Once the Giant Sea Dolphin stopped and the chariot got tond, a group of supers dressed in luxurious purple armor came out to form a formation.


    A young man''s loud voice was heard the next moment. "He scammed me! He actually scammed me!"


    "Calm down young master¡­"


    "I won''t calm down!" The young man who seemed to be 18 finally came out of the chariot as he continued ranting. "I paid in millions but what did I get in return? His pill corrupting my contracted beast and making it go mad".


    "I won''t take it; he''ll definitely pay for hurting Leo".


    "Young Master¡­"


    The young man ignored the middle-aged man who tried to calm him down and asked. "I heard there''s a forest close to the shelter, right?"


    "Yes, young master".


    "Good, put out a recruitment notice for worthy warriors to enter the forest in search of Leo. The lucky one who rescues him will be rewarded handsomely".


    As his guards fulfilled his orders, the young man''s eyes flickered in worry. "Please stay safe Leo".

 Chapter 23 Legolas, The Beast Tracker

    After a grueling day in the Blue Forest where Predator got to flex his powers, hunting beasts till satisfaction while Legs simplyzed around and harvested the experience points, they finally returned to the shelter.


    From the POV of the citizens of the shelter, as the sun set, the new warrior who came to town returned with his contracted beast and a bag slung to his back.


    By now, it was already confirmed that he was a Summoner. After his show against one of the local gangs, warriors were sent to spy on him.


    Legs deliberately let them spy on him, this way, a lot of things would be more convenient for him just due to the scare of Predator.


    As Legs walked into the shelter, he instantly noticed the difference in the atmosphere and energy among the warriors, he tried to ignore it though.


    "Shuush¡­, the Sexy Chocte is here".


    "¡­" Legs''s steps jerked a bit on hearing that but he kept his silence.


    "Do you think he would take the quest too?"


    "I dunno, he''ll probably take it though, after all this guy is not just a Prince but the price that he is offering is freaking 1 million Darvis credits".


    "Outrageous, right? I know". The warrior in ck who spokeughed. "The hunters of the hunter union are already taking the quest in droves; they all want to suck up to this Summoner Prince".


    "Summoner Prince?" Legs''s ears stood erect on hearing that.


    The gossip already sounded fascinating to his ears and with this, he made his decision as he turned before moving to where the quest notice board was erected.


    >New Priority Quest: The Missing Leo<


    >Quest Details: Prince Christensen is looking for his missing contracted beast. The Frost Wolf is dangerous and untamed, rumored to be corrupted<


    >Quest Objective: Find Leo<


    >Quest Reward: 500,000 Darvis Credits<


    ¡­


    >Quest Objective: Rescue Leo<


    >Quest Reward: 1,000,000 Darvis Credits<


    "A corrupted beast?" Legs raised his eyebrows.


    Being not just a zoologist but one of the co-producers of Dominator, Legs knew clearly what a corrupted beast meant. He contributed a lot in creating the Summoner ss which meant he knew even more about this phenomenon.


    By this term alone and from the idle talks of the other warriors, he already had a basic idea about what happened to this so-called Prince''s contracted beast.


    Unlike the other supers who went to register their names in the notice board to take up the quest, Legs surprised everyone and simply left with Predator.


    He already had other ns for this specific mission, besides, his virtual game interface already lit up to notify him of another triggered mission.


    ------


    [You have received a new Grade E mission: The Missing Leo]


    [Mission Objective: Find and Rescue Leo, the Frost Wolf]


    [Mission Rewards: 100,000 Experience points, 1,500,000 Darvis Credits, and +50 Favorability with Prince Christensen]


    ----


    Legs had a creed of maximizing every opportunity that came towards him. Other supers may just see this as a money tree, but Legs''s perceptive eyes already saw at least 3 ways in which he could benefit from this Prince.


    He did not rush things though; it was already evening. On returning to his inn, he left Predator to sleep outside while he went into his room to rest.


    For ns like this, experience taught Legs that it was better to have a proper rest and work with a fully active brain than to work when tired.


    For Summoners, high mental activity to detect clues fast was a must. Legs hummed a children''s luby until he fell asleep.


    ¡­


    The next morning, Legs was up before any other super in the shelter as he finalized his ns, woke Predator up before leaving to the Blue Forest.


    Once Legs arrived at the Blue Forest this time, he had a serious expression on his face since he no longer had any intentions of staying in the periphery.


    A newly corrupted beast behaves like a mad beast. Through his expert knowledge and intuition about beasts, his best guess was that the Frost Wolf was deep inside the forest and there was an 80% chance that he was injured.


    Corrupted beasts behave like rabid dogs, attacking everything in sight.


    In the Blue Forest, especially the deeper parts, the Frost Wolf would not be able to act unbridled and was why Legs predicted its injury.


    Another important fact was that Frost Wolves loved cold regions and hignds. Since there was no mountain in the Blue Forest, Legs simply opted for the high nes where dangerous beasts roamed.


    The journey this time was not so straightforward.


    Predator encountered a Berserk Ape, a Mud Python, and a Vampire Coyote which Legs all ordered it to escape from, Predator was unwilling but it had no choice but to listen to Legs.


    After arriving at the high nes, Legs used little traces left by the Frost Wolf to track it to the scene of a battlefield.


    Seeing the battlefield and the blood, Legs was not surprised. "He fought here". He bent down and poked the blood before smelling it.


    "This blood was spilled from one party, probably Leo".


    Legs frowned. "Does this mean that the Frost Wolf stood no chance and did not even injure its opponent?" Legs felt doubtful so he checked the surroundings more.


    10 minutester, he found traces of a tree. "A Predator Mandrake".


    Instantly, all the pieces started falling in ce in his head. "Leo probably roamed here, and feeling the energy of the tree, he attacked. The Mandrake was stronger though which was why Leo ended up severely injured".


    "Leo did not die and was able to escape. As for the Mandrake, it felt threatened after the unwarranted attack and migrated".


    Legs''s eyes shone. "That''s the exact series of events".


    After this, everything else became easier for Legs. Knowing the habit of Frost Wolves, he knew that after the severe injury, Leo would probably opt to go against what he loved and would go to hide in the low nes.


    Probably, Leo was currently hidden inside a cave.


    "Predator, this way, move".


    Legs mounted his contracted beast and moved. The blood traces were subtle, but Legs was too experienced, he traced the Frost Wolf all the way to a part of the Blue Forest that was filled with thorns and thistles.


    By now, a few hours already passed and it waste in the afternoon.


    It was here in this den of thorns that Legs encountered the most problems. After searching for 4 hours without any positive results, he sighed. "This Leo is really intelligent; I wish I had a pet like him instead of freaking Lucky".


    "Growl!" Predator protested, leaving Legs shocked. "Since when did you start siding with and protecting her?"


    Predator only snorted in reply.


    With Predator''spany, Legs kept on going into the night until he finally found the entrance to a hidden cave deep in the den of thorns.


    One look at the entrance and he got his clue, Leo''s pawprints. "Found you".


    He didn''t enter inside the cave though, rather he left and spent the night at another part of the Blue Forest alongside Predator.


    The next morning, he left back to the Blue Scale Shelter.

 Chapter 24 Price Negotiation

    Knock! Knock!


    "Come in". An irritated but worried voice sounded.


    "Good morning Young Master". Mr. Damien, the Butler of the Palm Ind royal family greeted the young master in a calm and respectful tone.


    A Butler was supposed to be the chief manservant of a household, and one of Mr. Damien''s caliber was not supposed to be doing menial activities like this.


    The Butler of the Palm Ind royal family followed Prince Christensen on his crazy adventures because Christensen was the only son of the royal family.


    He was dotted upon a lot by his loving parents, which made him more or less a spoilt brat already.


    Prince Christensen finally replied the butler in a grumpy tone. "What happened?"


    Mr. Damien ignored theck of respect, masking it with a smile. "A young super warrior just came along this morning iming to have found Leo".


    The prince''s heart skipped a bit on hearing that but he soon calmed down and scoffed. "Do they think I''m a fool? How many warriors already came with the same news all with the motive of seeing me personally and begging for money?"


    "I think this one is different¡­"


    "How?!" Prince Christensen yelled before the Butler could finish.


    Mr. Damien remained calm. "He said Leo has white fur like other Frost Wolves but some parts of his face are covered with golden fur, a specialty which made you fall in love with him on first sight".


    "He said Leo loves cold, hates hot and tight ces but go running to them to hide when he is injured or scared".


    By now, Prince Christensen was already breathless.


    Mr. Damien continued. "He also said Leo is injured".


    "What?! Take me to him, now!"


    ¡­


    5 minutester, Legs was seated inside the luxurious hotel where Prince Christensen and his entourage stayed while the search for Leo continued.


    The Prince''s confused eyes kept on hovering from the little kid before him to his butler and back. "Umm, Damien, he¡­"


    "Yes, Young Prince, he is the warrior who found Leo".


    "¡­Oh, ok". The Prince finally turned to observe Legs carefully, Legs also observed him back as internally he was already surprised.


    "It''s this Christensen? Damn, I literally already forgot he was once a Prince".


    Legs knew this guy, he was not just any NPC too, this guy was a main character who became relevant, revealing his incredible luck and talent 3 versionster after going through a lot of suffering and tempering.


    His 2 sisters were the closest confidants of the main viin of version 3.0.


    Loved by his parents and envied by his 2 sisters, Christensen lived his best life until his sisters decided to join the dark part and be evil.


    His sisters murdered their parents, sold their ind, Christensen included. This was where Christensen''s suffering began until his luck struck 3 versionster.


    "You found Leo?" Christensen finally asked as Legs did not speak first.


    Legs was finally interrupted from his wandering mind. "Yes, I found Leo and I can save him, I just wanted to negotiate my rewards with you".


    "Oh, whatever you want as a reward, just say it".


    "The money stays so, but I want an additional reward, I want a Summoner ss knowledge".


    "Oh, I have 3 basic Summoner ss knowledge with me, I think I have another 1 too but I left it in the ind, an intermediate ss knowledge I think".


    Legs smiled secretly; this Christensen was still a na?ve one.


    Christensen continued. "Which one do you want¡­?"


    "Ahem, cough¡­" Not able to take it anymore, Mr. Damien finally coughed, drawing the Prince''s attention.


    "What?" Christensen asked cluelessly as the atmosphere turned awkward.


    "Young Prince, leave the negotiating to me". Mr. Damien turned to face Legs with a serious look in his face. "No intermediate knowledge is up for grabs; thest price is 1,000,000 credits and 1 basic Summoner ss knowledge".


    "Increase the money to 1.3 million credits".


    "1.2 million is my bottom line, take it or leave it".


    "Huh? Leave it? Leo is at stake!" Prince Christensen protested, causing veins to pop in the Butler''s head as he felt a strong urge to smack him on the head.


    Legs had to force himself from notughing out loud. "Deal!" He agreed.


    A contract was signed between both parties, and once Legs put pen to paper, he gave his time limit. "You''ll see Leo again in 3 days at most, wait for it".


    With that, he left. He did not return to the Blue Forest though, Legs returned home and sat down to browse through his memories for a potion form.


    To change his appearance and height, Legs knew that there were potions for it. He was no alchemist, but as an avid and extremely curious gamer, he explored everything explorable and was where he dabbled a bit in alchemy.


    All he needed was to find one where he could use the materials in this to concoct, he searched his memory for 30 minutes before he found it.


    "The Ultimate Man Potion Form!" Legs smiled.


    He took a pen and started writing the form down. "10 Ginseng fruits, Drake Fire leaves, Mud Water leaves, Cafu weed, 10 Elysium seeds¡­"


    After listing all the materials needed down, Legs left to the market where he asked around for them. He was able to purchase everything except 3.


    There were no Drake Fire leaves, Mud Water leaves, and Elysium seeds here. Mud Water leaves were a specialty of the Barbarian rain forest deep in beast territory, while Drake Fire leaves were specialties of volcanoes in the deserts.


    As for Elysium seeds, these were premium materials that were extremely expensive. A single Elysium seed went for as much as 500,000 Darvis credits.


    Legs was conflicted on how to move forward but he was not out of options yet. "My only other option to pull a miracle is the Grey World gathering".


    "Let''s hope things go ording to n".


    For the next 2 days, Legs went to the Blue Forest daily to hunt for experience points and beast cores which Predator consumed while they still waited for Lucky to wake up from her deep evolution slumber.


    After 2 days, it was now 5 days since he came to the Blue Scale Shelter, and today was the day for the next grey world gathering.


    Legs got prepared in his inn and left to the grey world 2 hours early.

 Chapter 25 The Grey World Gathering

    After lying downfortably on his bed, as soon as Legs gently tapped the grey apple tattoo that was on his wrist, his consciousness disappeared.


    After over a month and few weeks of not seeing it, Legs was back in the grey world that he received from his virtual interface as a developer package.


    On arriving, he saw that the Elementalist spirit was already standing before him as he weed him respectfully. "Wee, Legs".


    Legs smiled back at the Elementalist. "Nice to see you too Aaron".


    Aaron was the name of the Elementalist, and yes, during the 3 years and few months that Legs spent with it, their rtionship was already amended.


    Aaron was the only one in this world who knew of Legs''s reincarnation secret, while Legs was capable of snuffing the remaining life in him away with a sneeze. This was why the both of them relented and decided to choose peace.


    With Aaron providing him with unlimited mana ess, Legs had no motivation to kill him, they enjoyed a pretty good symbiotic rtionship.


    As their friendship grew through the years, they began to open up to each other till the extent where they started studying the grey world together.


    Though Legs never let down his guard and always had all the power, he and Aaron were able to achieve a lot and understand the grey world much better.


    Now, Legs could do a lot more with the grey world.


    "That battle was harrowing, but I''m d that you survived it". Aaron said as he led Legs to the middle of the grey world where they had unlimited ess to.


    Through their mana connection, with Legs''s permission, Aaron could see what Legs saw in the real world. He saw everything that transpired in the Nightmare Beast Ind and was why he did not ask about the postponed gathering.


    After conjuring his throne and the round table with the powers of the grey world, Legs finally turned to face Aaron. "So, where did we stop?"


    "After ourst discovery, you made a decision that during your next visit here, you would create the grey doppelganger to smoothen some troubles thate withmunicating with the 2 members of the gathering as The Hermit.


    "Oh yes, I remember". Legs pped his head.


    Over the years, Legs learned thatmunicating with the 2 members of the gathering as The Hermit was extremely tedious.


    Unlike with his other professions, he never pursued the profession of a Chatan which now made things hard for him to pick up on.


    This was when the thought of creating a body double in the gathering came. With a body double, he would no longer be tasked to act as The Hermit, he would rather be a casual member where he could benefit more.


    Over the years, seeing the cooperation between The Emperor and The Star, he craved creating a body double to also engage in transactions like them.


    This desire was amplified due to his telling need for materials to concoct the Ultimate Man Potion.


    Having observed them for 3 years, he knew that they were more than capable of fulfilling his requests so long he offered something equivalent in return.


    Once he was ready, Legs finally mobilized the power of the grey world and he was surprised. "Hmm, I suddenly have a deeper control over the grey powers".


    "It''s probably because you became a Grade E Summoner". Aaron theorized. "You''ll probably have more ess to its secrets as you grow more in strength".


    "That''s nice". Legs was happy as he finally gave the order. "Create body double".


    The grey world reacted like usual and in no time, a body double that looked exactly like him was created opposite him.


    The body double smiled, spooking Legs. "Hi, Legs".


    "H-hi¡­"


    It took some getting used to for Legs to calm down seeing another version of himself. "Well, you''ll be called The World".


    The body double could make basic conversations, but forplicated thought intensive speeches, Legs needed to manually direct it which was a perfect setup for his purpose.


    After observing the body double, Legs and Aaron explored the grey world again. After bing a Grade E Summoner, his reach in the world also expanded.


    They still did not discover anything significant though, and once the 2-hour mark reached, Legs finally did the needful.


    ¡­


    Bzzz! Bzzz!


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit". The Star''s cheerful voice reverberated which was literally the first voice in each gathering now.


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit". The Emperor also greeted.


    Unlike the first time that they were summoned here, these 2 were no longer as vignt and wary. For over 3 years, the Hermit had never harmed them nor do anything toplicate them, he rather only helped them passively.


    This made them arrive at a lot of conclusions already, but one of these conclusions that they held to was that the Hermit had no wish to harm them.


    Instead of vignce, the emotions that Legs felt from them was worry, worry about why thest gathering did notmence as nned.


    This was when The Hermit finally spoke. "I recovered a significant part of my powersst week, that is why thest gathering did not hold".


    This deliberate exnation from Legs sent their minds running wild.


    "He is indeed a high-grade Super who is recovering from an injury". The Emperor thought, excited for guessing the truth right.


    The Hermit continued. "Before we start today, I want to introduce a new member to our gathering, one of my followers in the real world".


    "Wee The World".


    Bzzz!


    As soon as a 3rd chair appeared and another member obscured by the shadows appeared, the Emperor and the Star both had different reactions.


    "Finally, another member". The Star was happy.


    As for the Emperor, his thoughts were different. "He can summon another person now; it seems that he really recovered more of his powers".


    "And he also referred to him as a follower, is the Hermit such a strong super?!" He was astonished as his mind ran wild with different ideas.


    Over the years, The Hermit already made more grounded rules for the gathering. The first phase of the gathering each time were the 2 members each telling the situation of the outside world to the Hermit.


    The Star mostly gave information about the nobles and the royal family, while the Emperor mostly gave information about the desert.


    After both members weed the new member, The World, the first phase of the gatheringmenced as they gave information about the outside world.


    Thissted for an hour after which transactions between the 3 members started. This time, the World joined in and after the others were done, he finally presented the list of things that he needed.


    "I need Drake Fire Leaves, Mud Water Leaves, and 10 Elysium seeds".


    "¡­" Silence reigned for a few seconds after the World was done.


    The Emperor coughed as he directed a suspicious look at the blurred figure of the World. "I can provide Drake Fire Leaves but they are rare goods".


    "I can pay in any form that you want".


    The Emperor continued. "I also heard of news of a Mud Water nt appearing in my region, I''ll have to confirm first before replying you".


    "For my payment, I''ll leave it till another time".


    "Ok, what of you the Star?" The World turned to ask her.


    "I don''t have them but if I ask for them, I think I can get them". The Star said in an absentminded tone as she seemed to be hesitating about something.


    "The World, you are a follower of The Hermit, you must be strong right?"


    Legs contemted before replying. "Yes, you can call me strong".


    She bit her lips before continuing. "There was an assassination attempt that was recently made on my father, now he is bedridden and the culprit still boasts through hidden means that he''lle back to finish the unfinished job".


    "I-I¡­" She stammered. "I want him dead, that is my pay".


    "An Elysium Seed goes for approximately 500,000 Darvis credits, I hope getting 10 of them for you is enough to get your help".


    "For a fellow member of the gathering of the Hermit, it is enough". The World added. "Also, I have an Elementalist main ss rune for sale".


    The Star''s eyes sparkled on hearing that. For 3 years, she had always made her desire for a main ss known but it seemed no one could help her.


    Finally, the new member did, her favorability of the World was already rising.


    "I''ll take it, I''ll pay 10 million Darvis Credits for it".


    The Worldughed. "That''s too much, 2 million will do".


    After the transaction session was over, The Hermit finally took over again. "You all know how to contact me when the materials are gotten".


    "Finally, before we leave¡­" The Hermit''s voice suddenly turned deeper and more ancient,manding total silence in the grey world. "I will be giving the first mission of this gathering to its 3 members".


    All of them felt goosebumps as they heard this.


    "It''s finally here". They thought.


    "First, be on the lookout for any organization called the Clown Society".


    "Second, be on the lookout for a sudden influx of citizens across the. Give me any noteworthy information that you discover about them".


    "The gathering would be adjourned now".

 Chapter 26 Mission Accomplished

    ------


    [You have received a new Grade D Mission: Assassinating the Assassin!]


    [Mission Objective: Find the assassin who made an attempt on the Star''s father''s life, kill him!]


    [Mission Deadline: 15 Days]


    [Mission Rewards: 100,000 Experience points, +50 Favorability with The Star!]


    -----


    "Phew! My mana was not exhausted this time". Legs heaved a sigh of relief as his consciousness finally returned to his body thaty on the bed.


    He looked at his wrist and saw the grey apple tattoo already settled back.


    "Well, today''s gathering was a sess as usual".


    After praising himself on his performance in the grey world which was a monthly urrence now, Legs finally gave attention to the new triggered mission that was disyed on his virtual game interface.


    Throughout the past 3 years, through the gatherings, he already knew a lot about The Star, he never thought the payment she would demand was this.


    From his little observations, The Star was obviously a royalty or a noble in the real world. Whichever one of the 2 was correct, it meant that her father was a powerful figure, and this made him kind of dread this mission.


    Legs dreaded the mission but he was also attracted by the rewards that it could bring. His game interface alone already gave him a reward of 100,000 Experience points which in his current stage was a lot.


    Apart from the rewards from his game interface, if the follower of the Hermit could fulfill this mission, it would mean a lot to his identity''s reputation.


    If the Star originally saw the Hermit as a King, she would literally see him as a God now if he executed it sessfully. "Damn, I want to do this mission so bad".


    Legs rubbed his head. "I just hope it doesn''t involve a Grade D superhuman, that would be awful".


    With this sudden schedule change, Legs adjusted his ns ordingly.


    "Once I finish the mission given by Christensen, I guess I''ll go take care of the Star''s mission. Christensen''s mission needs to be taken delicately though".


    If it was any other human that triggered this mission, Legs would simplyplete it, take his reward and leave but he had other ns for Christensen.


    It was against his personality to leave someone who had the potential of bing a future version''s main character so uneventfully. He did not just want to benefit from the current spoilt Christensen, but the future him also.


    One way or the other, he believed that he could make it work.


    Legs also hoped he could finish the Star''s mission before the next 9 days. 9 dayster, the first batch of yers would being to this world and he wanted to be prepared for their arrival.


    "Damn, I can''t rest on my rails".


    Legs jumped up from his bed as he instantly went to work preparing the materials that he currently had for the concoction of the Ultimate Man Potion.


    While working, he waited for feedback from the 2 members of his gathering.


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    Sophia blinked her eyes as her consciousness finally returned to her body.


    "Woof!"


    She looked down at the beautiful White-furred Golden Retriever that watched her worriedly from the opposite side of her bed. The dog was obviously happy at its owner finally opening her eyes as she wagged her tail excitedly.


    Sophia smiled at her dog''s antics as she drew closer to pet it. "Lily, did anyone ask for me while I was gone?"


    "Woof!" The dog barked and shook her head furiously, prompting a smile on the beautiful Sophia''s face.


    "Nice doggie". She patted its head before standing up and walking to the mirror, there she admired herself which was a habit she developed recently.


    Sophia had natural ck hair that flowed tantalizingly down her shoulders. Her sparkly ck eyes like the starry skies blended beautifully with her hair toplement her cute nose and lips on red lipsticks.


    As she looked at herself, she suddenly grinned cheekily. "Can you believe it? Little Sophie is about to be an Elementalist, Lily, can you believe that?!"


    Before the poor little Golden Retriever could react, Sophia spun around with unbelievable speed, grabbing Lily in the process as she started a happy dance.


    Her dance did notst though as she suddenly remembered something. "Damn, the Elysium Seeds, I almost forgot".


    Knock! Knock!


    Sophia paused.


    "Lady Sophia, are you in there?!"


    "Coming¡­" With that, she soon got dressed and left her room.


    "Elizabeth, follow me, we''re going to the supers materials market".


    "¡­Huh?" Elizabeth, the maidservant was stunned.


    Sophia ignored her as she left with Lily, her Golden Retriever trailing behind her. Sophia walked away confidently like ady on a mission.


    ¡­


    15 minutester, Sophia returned home with a bright smile on her face. She shut her door closed against her maidservant before kneeling before her bed.


    She drew an apple shape on the floor before praying sincerely.


    "Your Excellency the Hermit, I am the Star of the gathering".


    "I have fulfilled my part of the agreement that I agreed with the World, please take them and notify the World".


    After that, Sophia closed her eyes and waited.


    ¡­


    Barren Altan stood on top of a sand dune as he looked at the world of endless gold thaty before him, he grew up here and lived here all his life.


    "Drake Fire Leaves and Mud Water Leaves, I can find those".


    Unlike the 2 other members of the gathering, Altan was a middle-aged father with a son who was already above 5 years of age.


    As an experienced Pugilist, during his first encounter with the Hermit, he was suspicious and did investigations. After 3 years down the line, he gave up and simply epted that the Hermit was a figure above his imagination.


    With such resignation followed respect and submission. Over the years though, he also learned to start benefiting from the gatherings.


    Like now, his instincts told him that the new member of the gathering who was a follower of the Hermit was a strong superhuman.


    Helping powerful superhumans was something that all Grade E Pugilists like him craved. The story of their 1st n chief''s fortuitous encounter was the greatest example of how a fated encounter with a great superhuman could change lives.


    Unlike Sophia though, he did not need to go to such trouble to get the 2 sets of leaves. As a warrior of the Audun Tribe of the Great Golden Desert, he had certain privileges.


    Altan brought out a specialmunicator that made use of the desert winds formunication. "Barren Altan is on the line, killer of 2 Sand Worms".


    "I want to exchange my contributions points for Drake Fire Leaves and Mud Water Leaves¡­"


    "Wait in the line as we process your order¡­"


    2 minutester, everything was finalized and Altan got his hands on what he wanted. He kneeled in the sand dune and prayed to the almighty Hermit.


    "Your Excellency the Hermit¡­"


    ¡­


    Back in his inn, as Legs prepared the materials, he suddenly felt the grey apple tattoo on his wrist glowing which was a sign ofmunication.


    By now, he recovered all his mana already. He easily answered the call and returned to the grey world where he got his packages.


    He constructed a random response of appreciation from the World to his 2 members before returning to the real world.


    Legs smiled as he looked at theplete set of materials. He lit up a fire and ced the cauldron on it as he finally started the potion concoction process.


    After a lot of stirring and careful mana maniption, 30 minutester, the Ultimate Man Potion finally sat before Legs in 5 neat bottles.


    Legs smiled and wiped his sweat. "Mission aplished".

 Chapter 27 Battle Vs The Draconic Blue-Scaled Lizard

    After a good night''s rest, Legs woke up very early in the morning.


    Today was thest day to rescue Leo that he gave to Christensen and he was finally ready to go rescue the Frost Wolf.


    Legs woke up around 4 in the morning when it was already dark.


    He went to check on Lucky with no hopes and like expected, the freaking Star Fox was still having a nap and the strange thing was that Lucky never shrank in size despite not eating for the past few days.


    "Sigh, whatever day you decide to wake up, I hope it was worth the wait".


    Again, Legs had no choice but to carry Lucky in the airbag. After that, he sneaked out of the inn before mounting Predator who was already awake.


    Together, they sneaked out of the shelter without alerting a single soul.


    ¡­


    10 minutester, Legs and Predator arrived back at the Blue Forest.


    Legs gave Predator some basic strict instructions before he allowed him to go deep inside the forest. Predator grumbled but he obeyed.


    Just 5 minutes in, they encountered their first enemy, a Barbarian Baboon. This huge monkey that was bigger than its counterparts shouted incoherent words before attacking the Nightmare Beast once they met.


    Predator could not avoid the battle so he had no choice but to fight. Just a few seconds in though, the superior between both beasts became evident.


    Despite being a Grade E beast also, the Baboon stood no chance as an angry Predatorpletely thrashed it before tearing it to pieces.


    After feasting on its flesh and beast core, the journey continued. 30 minutester, they finally arrived back at the den of thorns where Leo hid.


    It took them an additional 30 minutes to navigate from the den of thorns to the cave where Leo hid. Once they got there though, Legs frowned as his sharp perception allowed him to detect traces that were not there before.


    He walked closer to the entrance of the cave where he saw the pawprints of another beast. "A Lizard?"


    "Predator, be on the lookout for any intruder". Legs instructed Predator fast before kneeling down close to the pawprints to try deducing the variant of lizard that intruded here.


    Preparing ahead was one of the greatest trademarks of great Summoners. If Legs could know the variant of intruder that he was about to face, he would be better prepared to deal with it when the battle finally started.


    Even with his knowledge as a game developer, zoologist, and summoner, it took him more than a minute to know its variant. "A Draconic Blue-scale Lizard!"


    Legs directed a worried look inside the cave but he soon heaved a sigh of relief, he could still feel Leo''s cold aura emanating from the cave.


    ¡­


    A few minutester, a huge Draconic Blue-scale Lizard walked towards the cave entrance as it made strange taunting and growling sounds.


    It was a Lizard but this beast was not just as huge as Predator, but it also had such thick scales that made it look like a Rhinoceros with imprable defense.


    In their hideout behind a thick cluster of grass, Predator''s blood already started boiling hot as its tongue wagged and salivated excitedly but Legs patted its head. "Easy boy¡­, easy".


    "Growl!" The Draconic Lizard growled again and scraped the cave entrance with its sharp ws, this was when a reaction finally came from Leo.


    "Awoo!" The Wolf''s cry of defiance reverberated loudly.


    "Growl!"


    The Draconic Lizard growled again before charging in.


    A few secondster, a loud crashing sound reverberated followed by dozens of impact sounds as it seemed like 2 Behemoths were engrossed in a battle.


    This was when Legs finally came out of his hideout with Predator and his basic alloy sword in his hand. Silently, they made their entrance into the cave.


    The walls of the cave were surrounded with blue crystals which Legs soon identified as mana crystals; he was astonished.


    "No wonder Leo came inside here to hide; mana crystals are great resources to recover mana and to also recover from physical injuries".


    "Damn, I never expected another benefit in this form".


    As the sounds of impact from the battle continued, Legs urged Predator to move in faster. A few secondster, the space in the cave opened up and this was where the 2 massive beasts were embroiled in battle.


    A wave of cold hit him as Legs was exposed to this open space.


    A part of the space inside the cave was filled with ice as the massive Wolf roared while battling and releasing more frost. As for the Draconic Blue-scale Lizard, this powerhouse was a fire-breathing monster.


    Leo was not in as bad a state as Legs expected. The mana crystals helped it a lot, its only problem was still the corruption that it suffered.


    The Draconic Blue-scale Lizard was a powerful opponent, Leo was already losing and even with Predator, Legs was not sure of winning.


    Predator may be a Nightmare Beast with infinite potential but it was still young. This scenario was like cing a young Lion with infinite talent against a mature male Alpha Lion, the oue of a battle was clear as noonday.


    To win, the only thing that Legs could think of was curing Leo. Leo was not just a Frost Wolf; he was a Golden bloodline Frost Wolf worthy of royalty.


    Leo was the cream of the crop of Frost Wolves, if its corrupted status was undone, with Predator, they could tear this Lizard who was probably old enough to be their grandfather to bits and pieces.


    This was where Legs''s huge knowledge came into y again.


    Corrupted beasts were products of a lot of reasons. But in Leo''s case, Legs already guessed that it was from taking a pill.


    Apart from fighting, killing, and evolving the normal way, most spoilt brats like Christensen wanted their contracted beasts to grow faster and the only option that they could resort to was through pills.


    For a pill asplicated as this to work, it needed to thoroughly agree with the beast''s DNA. Once there is an ipatibility, corruption is a great possibility.


    How to undo corruption was a myth in the current Darvis but who was Legs? He was a reincarnator who came with future knowledge.


    "Predator, join the fight!"


    "Roar!" The already impatient Predator jumped in enthusiastically.


    With another beast suddenly joining, the Draconic Lizard''s momentum was stalled and this was what enabled Legs to start concocting another pill.


    He already had the intention of curing Leo which made him prepare the materials ahead of time, so he simply brought his schedule forward.


    Legs lit up a fire and started working. 10 minutester, a brand-new potion was avable as Legs poured it all into a needle injection.


    He turned to the ongoing battle, grabbed his sword, and jumped into the fray. The intensity rattled Legs instantly but Predator was on his side.


    "Roar!"


    It seemed like he was about to go attack the Lizard also, but at thest moment, he rapidly changed direction and dashed towards Leo.


    He seeded in injecting it but Leo reacted instinctively as it used its huge paws to smack the human away like a bug. Legs coughed blood as he felt a few of his bones breaking, he groaned in pain even as Predator roared angrily.


    Leo was about to follow up the attack to kill him but it soon paused as changes went on inside its body whichsted only a few seconds.


    Leo''s eyes that glowed a menacing red finally turned blue again.


    Its tongue wagged the next moment as it looked at Legs, its savior with pure joy radiating from its eyes.


    Legs coughed and grabbed his abdomen. "Rejoiceter dude, finish off that Lizard bastard first".


    Well, an unshackled Leo was simply a beast!


    "Awoo!" "Roar!"


    This time, when the Frost Wolf and the Nightmare Beast went in, they went in with the intent to cooperate and the Draconic Lizard no longer stood a chance.


    Its thick scales were breached in just 2 minutes and that spelled its end. The Draconic Lizard tried to escape but it was already toote, it breathed itsst after Leo froze its hind legs and Predator dealt the finishing blow with a Dark Arrow.


    Predator climbed on top of the dead Lizard, raised its head proudly, and roared.


    "Yeah, bask in the attention but remember to share the food, you didn''t kill it alone remember?" Legs reminded as he attended to his injuries.


    Surprisingly, Leo simply ignored the food and walked closer to Legs before licking his face affectionately with its tongue.


    Predator was unconcerned as it enjoyed the feast.

    [Grade E Missionpleted: The Missing Leo]


    [Mission Completion rating: A]


    [You have been rewarded with 100,000 Experience points and 1,500,000 Darvis Credits!]


    ----

 Chapter 28 Charming The Prince

    100,000 Experience points for a Grade E mission was absolutely massive and even ridiculous, but it was so due to the difficulty of the mission.


    Legs easily finishing it did not mean that the mission was easy.


    The problem of tracking Leo down alone was a great milestone that 99% of hunters that took on this mission could not achieve.


    After tracking Leo down, finding a way to get through to the corrupted Frost Wolf was another problem. The greatest problem of all was that the humans of Darvis still didn''t know ways to cure corruption.


    Legs curing Leo was him literally achieving an out of this world level feat.


    When all these difficulties were put into the equation, it was not too weird to see so many Experience points for a Grade E mission though Legs was also sure that Christensen''s desperation to get Leo also yed a part.


    After rescuing Leo from such desperate situations, the Golden Bloodline Frost Wolf''s favorability for Legs literally skyrocketed to the skies.


    Leo kept on hovering around Legs like a fly, prompting a smile to light up his face as he sat down after drinking a healing potion to recover from his injuries.


    Apart from healing, Legs did another thing. After getting these 100,000 Experience points, he could continue leveling up his main and sub sses.

    -----


    In one sitting, Legs literally spent all his reserves of Experience points as it enabled him to level his Summoner main ss 3 times to the peak of level 10 and also level his 2 sub sses to the peak of level 20.


    This took his overall level to level 48.


    After leveling sub sses to their peak level, they fulfill their full potential but the same could not be said for main sses as the interface lit up again.


    -----


    Summoner main ss has been leveled to the peak of Level 10¡­


    Main ss advancement mission has been triggered!


    [Advancement Mission: Acquire 5 total Basic Summoner ss Knowledges!]


    ----


    Having expected an advancement mission already, Legs was not surprised, everything was still just like the game he remembered.


    He was d since the requirements in the mission did not experience a huge change. The advancement mission was random for every character, in his previous life, he was required to get just 4 Basic Summoner ss knowledges.


    Despite it being 5 now, Legs was not too bothered since he acquired 2 out of the 5 that were required already. Besides, he had a n to get the others.


    After leveling up so many times in one sitting, his attributes increased again which directly contributed to his effectivebat strength.


    With his Agent sub ss leveling to the peak, he was no longer a weakling who could not survive without his contracted beast. His marksmanship andbat abilities were already far above those of an elite hitman back on earth.


    After the spending spree, when Legs finally opened his eyes, he did not see Leo like he expected, rather it was Predator who kept staring at him.


    Evidently, the hyperactive beast was already bored to death after feasting on the flesh and beast core of the Lizard and was now raring to leave the cave.


    "Chill bro, you''re too impatient". Legs smiled and patted its head.


    On turning his head, Legs saw Leo nudging the air bag thatid a few meters away with its nose. Legs smiled. "Her name is Lucky".


    "She''szy as f*ck, still sleeping from evolution, so sorry you can''t see her now". As he spoke, Legs already stood up as he went closer to pick up the air bag. He patted Leo''s head in the process causing the Frost Wolf to purr.


    At this moment, after its increased favorability to Legs, Leo was no longer like the menacing Golden bloodline Frost Wolf that it was.


    Its base instincts were already suppressed by love and favoritism as it now behaved like a dog that was attached to its owner.


    Legs smiled on seeing this, this was what he aimed to achieve from the beginning, he just didn''t expect Leo to be so easy to charm.


    "Well,e on, it''s time to go".


    Havingpleted the mission, it was time to leave.


    ¡­


    A few dozen minutester, Legs was back in the Blue Scale Shelter not only with his contracted beast this time but with a familiar Frost Wolf whose picture were dominating the quest boards over the past few days.


    News traveled fast and in no time all the hunters in the Shelter got wind of the news, Christensen included as this Prince was sent into a jubilee mood.


    Legs did not return the Frost Wolf immediately. He took it to his inn, where he took care of Leo and gave it a thorough bath and a nice breakfast.


    All these actions from him were deliberate as Leo''s love for him grew.


    -----


    Your Favorability with Leo has increased by +10


    ----


    After Legs was done, he paid for hisst stay here in the inn before leaving with Predator and Leo apanying him with the air bag strapped to his back.


    15 minutester, Legs was seated inside the luxurious hotel again.


    Seeing the current state that Leo was in and seeing its closeness to Legs, stars literally filled Christensen''s eyes as his love for this young warrior grew.


    -----


    Your Favorability with Prince Christensen has increased by +70


    ----


    +50 Favorability was the original reward, but as Leo was no longer corrupted and seeing how close the Frost Wolf was to Legs, Christensen''s love for the young warrior skyrocketed instantly.


    Legs smiled; this was why he put so much effort into making Leofortable and happy, they were all parts of his n.


    Favorability was something that never decreased unless they both became enemies in the future.


    For this future main character though, Legs was determined to not be enemies with him, he just wanted friends with benefits.


    "Thank you so much Lga¡­"


    "Legs". Legs corrected with a gentle smile.


    "Thank you so much Legs, I''m forever indebted to you, I will forever remember this favor that you did to me today".


    "Don''t mention". Legs smiled politely while inwardly, he was yelling ''don''t you ever dare forget this favor from me, remember it always.''


    "My reward". Legs finally reminded the prince calmly.


    "Oh, yes". Christensen smacked his head. "I almost forgot, bring it in!" He yelled as a warrior opened the hotel door beforeing in.


    "The money has already been wired into your ount. As for the other rewards, these are the Basic Summoner ss knowledge that I have with me".


    Legs grabbed the box and was about to open it but he was stopped by the butler, Mr. Damien. "How did you cure Leo''s corruption?"


    Having expected this, Legs was prepared. He spread his hands to show cluelessness exaggeratedly. "I don''t really know; it was all luck".


    "He was dying and I saw a ginseng fruit nearby, I plucked it and fed it to him to eat and guess what? After eating it, Leo healed".


    "Wow!" Prince Christensen''s eyes were filled with stars. "You''re so awesome!"


    -----


    Your Favorability with Prince Christensen has increased by +30


    Total Favorability: 100


    Your Favorability with Prince Christensen has increased to Friends status


    ----


    Mr. Damien frowned. "Ok".


    Legs smiled back at him. "Thanks".


    He finally opened the box.

 Chapter 29 The Game Of Wit Begins

    After opening the box, Legs expected to see 3 books neatly arranged inside it but he was disappointed, Mr. Damien was cautious than he expected.


    Inside the box were 3 papers that had detailed information about the 3 Basic Summoner ss knowledge that Prince Christensen had, not the actual books.


    His original intention was that if the 3 books were here, he could just brush his hands against all 3 of them and his virtual interface would do the rest.


    Well, this was no longer possible since Mr. Damien decided to intervene.


    Even Prince Christensen was perplexed. "Huh? 3 papers? Where are the 3 Basic Summoner ss knowledge books?"


    "Rx". Mr. Damien replied him calmly. "I have everything under control".


    Prince Christensen was even more confused but seeing the calm look on the butler''s face, he relented. "Well, I believe you".


    Mr. Damien stared fixatedly at Legs. "Make your choice".


    "I will". Legs turned to smile back at him.


    In his mind, he was not frustrated since he already had a contingency n in ce. ''Since you want it done the hard way, I''ll give it to you the hard way''.


    Legs finally turned his eyes back to inside the box at the 3 papers.


    >Beast ne Metaphysics<


    >Basic Beast Energy Augmentation<


    >Basic Beast ne Traveler<


    Just one look and he found the main ss knowledge that he wanted the most since reincarnating. "Found you!"


    The other 2 Summoner ss knowledge were important, but they were nowhere as important as the pivotal Beast ne Metaphysics.


    Beast ne Metaphysics was the most important of all basic Summoner ss knowledges but at this moment in time, it was not the best fit for Legs''s purpose.


    To make his contingency n work even more smoothly, Legs easily deduced that learning the Basic Beast Energy Augmentation was the best for him.


    Legs picked up the paper that was in the middle of the box, then he turned to smile at Prince Christensen, causing the prince to smile back widely.


    -----


    Your Favorability with Prince Christensen has increased by +2


    ----


    "Holy sh*t, even smiling works for this guy? Nice!"


    Feeling Mr. Damien ring at him, Legs no longer kept them waiting as he showed the paper to them before finally speaking. "I choose the Basic Beast Energy Augmentation".


    Mr. Damien looked at the young warrior silently for a few seconds before speaking. "Bring the Basic Beast Energy Augmentation book!"


    "Yes, Butler Damien".


    The next moment, one of the warriors went to a shelf that was inside the living room where Legs sat with the Butler and the Prince.


    Legs kept a constant smile on his face, and it seemed like he was not looking but he already mapped the location of the shelf, thebination to open it, and where the books were kept already on his mind.


    When the book was finally brought, Legs smiled and ced his hands on it. Instantly, his virtual interface status lit up.


    -----


    Basic Summoner ss knowledge has been detected: Basic Beast Energy Augmentation


    Learning Basic Summoner ss knowledge¡­, knowledge learned!


    ¡­


    You have unlocked Summoner Energy


    ----


    "Thank you so much for this opportunity, I''ll never forget it all my life". Legs finally expressed his gratitude as he stood up to leave.


    Throughout till Legs left the hotel, Prince Christensen had a smile on his face. Even Leo seemed unwilling to let him go but Legs had to leave.


    Once he left, Christensen wiped a tear and spoke. "Such a good young warrior, I wish every warrior was like him, the world would be such a better ce".


    Mr. Damien stared at the prince without saying a word.


    ¡­


    2 minutes after Legs left, Mr. Damien secretly met with 2 elite warriors that were part of the prince''s entourage. "Follow Legs and report anything that he is up to for the next 24 hours".


    "Yes, Butler Damien".


    The 2 Grade E warriors left and immediately went to work.


    ¡­


    After leaving the massive hotel, like he nned, Legs no longer lingered in the Blue Scale Shelter as he patted Predator before mounting the huge Nightmare Beast, causing stares in the streets.


    Legs looked back at the hotel with a longing look on his face and deliberately spoke loudly. "The prince is such a good man, I wish all employers were like him, I probably won''t forget this encounter all my life".


    He patted his contracted beast. "Come on Predator, let''s leave".


    Predator grunted slightly before galloping away through the streets away from the shelter. From his actions, he was about to leave the shelter.


    10 minutester, Predator finally crossed the gate that led into the Blue Scale Shelter, officially leaving this shelter where he spent the past week of his life.


    Predator did not slow down as he continued galloping away from the shelter.


    As the young Summoner and his contracted beast disappeared into the distance, the 2 warriors who secretly spied on him also returned to the hotel.


    A few minutester, they met Mr. Damien. "He left the shelter".


    "Good, you employed measures to detect if hees back, right?"


    "Yes, I paid some of the guards at the gate. If hees back, we''ll know".


    "Good job". Mr. Damien patted the warriors'' backs as he caressed his beard.


    ¡­


    3 hourster, Legs hid in the woods close to the Blue Scale Shelter.


    There, he prepared for hiseback. After getting and learning the Basic Beast Energy Augmentation, his stock of Summoner ss knowledge increased.


    Apart from the Organic Connection, the Beast Trainer ss knowledge enabled easier control over contracted beasts. It also enabled a beast to more easily understand it''s master''s instructions.


    As for the Basic Beast Energy Augmentation, it was the most direct of all the basic ss knowledges since it enabled the Summoner to actively empower his contracted and summoned beasts through Summoner Energy.


    All the other main sses as they grew develops their own type of energy.


    There was Pugilist Energy, Elementalist Energy, and Summoner Energy which all originated from mana. Their specialties were that they better augmented the strength of their userspared to heterogenous mana.


    Legs clenched his fists, causing a green corona to appear above them. This was his neutral Summoner Energy which was a result of his neutral beast affinity.


    After he was done, Legs finally took thest step toplete his preparation to return to the Blue Scale Shelter.


    Legs brought out 1 of the 5 bottles that contained the Ultimate Potion Form that he concocted as he instantly downed its contents.


    The game finally began.

    After 3 tries, Legs finally seeded in taming a Wild Coyote. His smile was wide as he caressed the beast''s hide. "Nice".


    ¡­


    4 hours after the young Summoner left the Blue Scale Shelter, another young superhuman warrior came on his contracted beast, a Wild Coyote.


    On seeing that this warrior was a Summoner, some of the guards at the shelter gate gave him special attention but they soon turned their attention elsewhere since this was not the kid that they were tasked to watch.


    This young Summoner was not a kid, this was a mature young man with a neat beard and mustache, he seemed like an experienced veteran warrior.


    With a calm but no-nonsense look on his face, this superhuman warrior entered the shelter riding on his contracted beast.


    Like was expected of all strangers to the shelter, this warrior entered inside a local bar where he was able to get more information about the shelter.


    After spending over 40 minutes at this bar, Legs finally confirmed that all the super warriors that were sent to stalk him already left.


    "The Ultimate Man Potion is really the ultimate form". He smiled.


    At this moment, he was a 25-year-old looking young man with a neat set of beards and a mustache. He had red hair with red eyes toplement it.


    Legs no longer beat around the bush. He stood up before walking to a dark corner of the bar where 3 supers sat quietly sipping on a beer drink.


    Legs looked at these 3 warriors squarely in the face. "Code Lucifer".


    The 3 warriors had no reaction to what he said, and Legs did not repeat either as they just stayed looking at each other. This stalemate continued for a few seconds before 1 of the 3 warriors finally looked at him and spoke.


    "Follow me".


    Legs followed without saying a word. A few minutester, he was given a mask to wear before he passed through a secret passage underground to a room where a meeting seemed to be taking ce.


    There was a round table with 12 chairs surrounding it, and 8 of these chairs were already upied, Legs upied the 9th chair.


    In no time, others came as they engaged in criminal business. From selling illegal ssified information to selling weapons, they did a lot of things.


    50 minutester when it was already evening, the illegal business finally came to an end. They did not leave though as the man on a blue trout-fish mask who seemed to be the leader of the gathering finally raised a topic.


    "Who dropped the information at my base?"


    "I". Legs, the man on a red horror mask who had not spoken since the beginning of the gathering till now finally spoke.


    Once he spoke, everyone listened since most of them came today because of what he had to offer.


    Legs like usual did not beat around the bush. "I have information on Prince Christensen, detailed information".


    All of them were wary, but they at least gave him time to listen to what he had to say since they already came here.


    10 minutester, their eyes were shining with greed.


    "Mission aplished". Legsmended himself calmly.


    Having predicted Mr. Damien''s cautiousness beforehand, he implemented this measure to fight against it if the situation ever required it. He already made all these preparations long before he returned Leo to the prince.


    "A Summoner must always have a contingency n".


    ¡­


    Despite news of Legs being scarceing which meant that the young Summoner kept to his words and left, Mr. Damien still could not feel at rest.


    For some reason, he felt that something unexpected was about to happen. Mr. Damien rubbed his arm hair that kept on standing. "What''s happening?"


    Still feeling restless, Mr. Damien stood up and walked to the window. As his eyes tried to focus outside, the first thing that he saw was a ck shadow that kept on erging in his vision. His eyes widened.


    Before he could react, the stone whipped him on the head.


    Bonk!


    Mr. Damien despite being a Pugilist felt dizzy as he fell on his butt.


    It took a few seconds for him to recover, and this was when he heard the sounds of yelling in the luxurious hotel where the prince and his entourage lodged.


    Mr. Damien was rmed as his face turned serious the next moment. On returning to the damaged window, he looked down only to see Grade F superhumans from different gangs in the shelter wreaking havoc.


    At this moment, the guards of the hotel were already embroiled in a fierce struggle with these gangsters as fists collided against face and vice versa.


    Without a doubt, these people were after the prince.


    Before Mr. Damien could even think of what to do, he received a distress signal from his warriors in the entourage of the prince. "They''re after the prince!"


    "How many?" Mr. Damien asked in a cold voice as he rushed to a part of the room where he kept his gadgets, he was dressed in his battle attire in no time.


    "3 Grade E superhumans so far".


    "Stall them, and wait for me".


    Mr. Damien''s main job description was a Butler, but he was also a powerful Pugilist. Instantly after he donned his armor and put on his Boxing gloves, as he was about to leave, he saw the 4th Grade E superhuman.


    The Wild Coyote growled as it charged through the formation of warriors that guarded the hotel straight towards the nearest elevator.


    On top of this charging Wild Coyote was the young Summoner who rode it.


    Mr. Damien paused in his steps as he red at this young Summoner who wore a red mask, he felt familiar vibes from him. Before the Wild Coyote could charge through the doors of the hotel, he brought out and crushed a token.


    "Elementalist Barrier!"


    Mr. Damien''s contingency n officially started.

 Chapter 31 Legolass Game

    Inside the living room, Christensen shivered amid all the noise as he hugged Leo who was his only source offort at this moment.


    Just a few minutes ago, he was in cloud nine still from the joy of his reunion with Leo. Now, the same could not be said as unknown gunmen and superhuman warriors stormed the luxury hotel where he stayed.


    He sat in the same spot where hest met Legs as he shivered and grabbed Leo tighter. "Buddy, what''s going on?"


    ¡­


    Mr. Damien had a serious look on his face as he crushed the token.


    Having been restless for most of the day, he decided to respect his intuition and start nning for the worst-case scenario. During the day, he already made a lot of contingency ns to ount for a lot of scenarios.


    Strange warriors storming into the hotel was one of the scenarios that he ounted for, and he already had a perfect n to counter this offensive.


    An Elementalist barrier was a defensive shield treasure that was made by infusing a specific type of elementalist energy into a shield.


    Once Mr. Damien crushed the token, a water elementalist barrier rose up and covered a massive part of the hotel where the enemy offensive was concentrated.


    Like a rising tide, the water blocked all the enemies. Elementalist barriers were one of the most frustrating defenses to face for low-grade superhumans.


    Other superhumans may struggle against this defensive measure, but not Legs. The same way that Mr. Damien nned for different scenarios that could be used by the enemies, so also did Legs n counters for the butler''s counters.


    This was no simple battle; it was a battle of contingency ns.


    Having yed all the way to the Grade A realm as a Summoner in Dominator in his previous life, Legs had in-depth knowledge about the game and most of its mechanisms.


    As soon as the massive water barrier rose up, Legs recognized it as an Elementalist barrier and having predicted this, he had a solution in ce.

    ¡­


    Passive Ability is in effect: Marksman


    ----


    There was a sure-fire way to destroy an Elementalist barrier, simply bombard it with power that was greater than that contained within the barrier.


    For Mr. Damien to use this barrier to protect the prince, Legs easily deduced that its power must be higher than the Grade E realm and was why he decided to use the only other way to destroy an Elementalist barrier.


    Having received the 1.5 million Darvis credits that were wired into his new ount, Legs used them to get some gadgets to aid his cause.

    ¡­


    [Special Bullet: Chaotic Mana Bullets]


    -         Clip Capacity: 40/40


    [Remark: The bane of Elementalist Barriers.]


    ----


    It was not even 5 seconds after the Elementalist barrier rose up that Legs brought his newly purchased pair of pistols. He changed the clip to the special chaotic mana bullets before finally aiming.


    With his Agent subss and the marksman passive ability, Legs was able to keep his aim to the most vulnerable part of the Elementalist barrier.


    This vulnerable part was recognized by him only because of his massive experience that was gotten from fighting against lots of Elementalists.


    Bam! Bam!


    The sound of the pistols shooting was like the rhythmic cacophony of birds singing as the Elementalist barrier that was just erected popped like a balloon.


    Amid the shock of Mr. Damien and all the other warriors in the prince''s entourage, the massive water fell with a boom, leaving the core of the Elementalist barrier floating aimlessly in the skies.


    Legs''s sessful action enabled the 3 other Grade E experts to finally infiltrate the hotel. All 3 of them were fast as they used the elevators to rapidly climb up to the 4th floor where Prince Christensen lived.


    Before leaving, Legs grabbed the floating core of the Elementalist barrier before also charging into the elevators alongside his tamed Wild Coyote.


    As soon as he got to the 4th floor, he did another nefarious act of jamming all the elevators in the hotel. He already analyzed the hotel after his first visit here and knew exactly what to do to get things done.


    He won the first battle of wits, but the game was still on.


    In response to this loss, as the only working elevator with Legs in it left, Mr. Damien made a call before taking over control of the hotel''s security as he implemented an instant lockdown.


    As the elevators got jammed, the doors also got locked as the lockdown took effect immediately. Well, this came a bitte as during this time, Legs already infiltrated the living room where he met the prince again.


    On entering the living room, Legs met a battle between his 3 Grade E temporarypanions and Leo, the Golden bloodline Frost Wolf.


    Prince Christensen was hidden in a corner of the living room.


    Instead of going to get the prince as nned or going to help hisrades, Legs ignored them all and rushed to the shelf that was at the front of the room.


    Legs took a second to remember what he saw as he instantly started inputting thebination of keys. The next moment, to everyone''s shock, the shelf opened with a click and he finally got his hands on his prize.


    The original n was them kidnapping the prince and forcing thebination out of him, the red masked warrior never said he knew thebination. Instantly, the other Grade E experts knew that they were yed.


    They could not do anything though as they were still tied down by the powerful Frost Wolf. And for some strange reason, the Wolf left the red masked warrior to continue his nefarious actions.


    As soon as the shelf opened, Legs dipped his hands in and grabbed the only 2 books that were currently upying the shelf. He did not just grab the books but the bag of money that alsoid aimlessly inside the shelf.


    His virtual interface lit up at almost the same time.

    In the time span of mere 10 minutes, Legs fulfilled his goals foring here. He did not just get the basic summoner ss knowledge that he was after, but he also got the bag of money that the criminals were after.


    He beat Mr. Damien with experience, countering all his ns perfectly with his own contingency ns, he effortlessly won this battle of wits.


    Mr. Damien was not the only one who lost. The criminals also lost as he already got the bag of money that brought all of them here.


    In the end, he sessfully made use of them as bouncers to further his cause. The most satisfying part of this all was that he achieved all these withoutpromising his rtionship with Christensen since this was not his face.


    "Stop him!" Mr. Damien yelled as he finally smashed the door.


    As soon as the butler arrived, Legs removed his red mask and bowed slightly in his direction. "Till we meet next time".


    The next moment, he sprinted towards the nearest window and jumped.

 Chapter 32 Violence Served Cold

    Mr. Damien stood there looking in a daze.


    Just a second ago, he arrived with all the energy and anger that he could muster to annihte the little Summoner who dared to mess with the Palm Ind royal family but now he lost all the drive.


    He lost all the drive after this Summoner revealed his face.


    "He is not the Sexy Chocte?" Mr. Damien started questioning his life.


    As a superhuman warrior who already retired from the adventure life filled with energy and thrill, Mr. Damien saw himself as a warrior with a lot of experience and it was hard for any warrior on the to outwit him.


    Now, he was not so sure about himself anymore.


    Just a second ago, he was pretty sure that this was the little kid Summoner on a disguise but after seeing this warrior''s face, he was no longer as sure.


    From his experience, he was unable to discover a single blemish on this warrior''s face. This was the natural face, build, and height of this Summoner.


    Still dazed, Mr. Damien turned to see the other 3 Grade E superhuman warriors who were all still being tied down by Leo singlehandedly.


    "Leo seemed to ignore him for these guys, it ignited my suspicion but now I''m not so sure. Besides, how can a kid be an adult in just a few hours?"


    "Haha". Mr. Damienughed at himself. "I''m really getting old".


    "So that kid was sincere Afterall huh?"


    Mr. Damien waspletely lost in his daze before the sounds of yelling  warriors brought him back to reality, this was when he remembered his duty.


    "A thief just intruded and stole the prince''s summoner books, it''s my duty as the butler to make sure that he does not escape".


    Mr. Damien''s eyes shone with conviction. "After him!"


    With Leo singlehandedly rough-handling and tying the 3 other Grade E warriors down, the full entourage of the prince and the warrior guards of the luxurious hotel were free to go after the thief to try apprehending him.


    Legs''s theft may have been a sess, but his escape was still a probability.


    During his nning phase, Legs got stuck when it came to the escape n. With the restriction of keeping Predator out of the battle, escaping with the Wild Coyote alone seemed a bit of a stretch against so many warriors.


    Despite the uncertainty of his escape n, he still did it with full belief on his experience. With his experience, Legs believed that he would be able to improvise on the spot to escape.


    Now was the time to put his experience to the real test.


    Whoosh!


    Legs scaled down the massive hotel building like a monkey as he kept on bypassing superhuman warriors who tried to catch him in the process.


    Alongside him was the Wild Coyote who sprinted like a race Greyhound.


    Before he got down, Legs already mapped the whole hotel. Mr. Damien was indeed worthy of respect; despite all the mental damage that he just dealt to him, this man was still able to arrange an organized defense.


    Every corner of the hotel was already filled with superhuman warriors, unless a miracle happened, all Legs''s escape pathways were blocked.


    Once hended on the floor though, Legs did not give a damn about all these impossibilities as he mounted the Wild Coyote and started his escape.


    This was when the Basic Beast Energy Augmentation Summoner knowledge came into y. Legs actively channeled his newly unlocked Summoner energy to empower the Wild Coyote as the beast became wrapped in a green aura.


    Instantly, the speed, strength, and every other stat of the Coyote increased.


    With a growl, this beast exploded forth with speed as it charged into the formation of the enemies. Without caring for its life, the Wild Coyote started a reckless escape run amid the bombardment from the enemies.


    In just a few seconds to a minute, over 5 superhuman corpses were already left in their wake as more were attacked while the beast suffered more injuries.


    Despite its aggressiveness and tenacity, the Wild Coyote was not immortal as it finally died to one of the more reckless Pugilists who dared to charge close enough to engage it in closebat.


    As soon as the Wild Coyote breath itsst, Legs was sent tumbling to the ground as the dozens of superhuman warriors soon surrounded him.


    "Don''t kill him yet!" A familiar voice interjected before the agitated superhuman warriors could vent their angers and fears on this Summoner.


    After a hectic affair, for the first time, Mr. Damien was able to walk close to the unknown Summoner and finally had the opportunity to look down at him from a vantage point.


    The Butler''s face was dead serious. "Who are you?"


    "Hahaha". Legsughed as he supported his knees before standing up unsteadily, he looked directly at Mr. Damien without flinching.


    Mr. Damien was about to speak again but Legs raised a hand to make the butler pause his actions. "Wait, I''ming".


    Legs smiled as he slowly dipped his hand into his pocket before bringing out the core of the Elementalist barrier that he kept some minutes ago.


    Legs raised the core up. "You know a fun fact?"


    He continued as the butler did not react. "Actually, in more developeds, Elementalist barrier cores are known more for their offensive attributes than their defensive attributes".


    Mr. Damien kept a stern face, causing Legs tough as he finally raised the barrier core. For some reason, Mr. Damien felt his heart skip a beat as this happened. He was about to speak but Legs was faster.


    Crack!


    Legs smashed the barrier core on the floor and instantly, a tsunami of water came out of it with such momentum and pressure that could kill.


    Having prepared for it, Legs moved fast and dived into a hole that he already saw since which saved him from the wrath of the water Elemental energy.


    As for all the other warriors that were inside the hotel, none of them were spared as the tsunami swept through them like a gue, killing a majority of them in the process as the hotel became a deste ground in no time.


    Mr. Damien chose violence, and Legs served it to him cold.

 Chapter 33 Advanced Summoner Class- Shepherd

    Prince Christensen hugged his Frost Wolf tighter forfort as he looked at the rubble that became of the once luxurious hotel where he stayed.


    Being the main center of attention in this whole affair, he was still relegated to be a side character as he watched everything y out.


    He watched as Leo held back the 3 Grade E superhuman warriors, he watched as the invincible Mr. Damien was outwitted, and he watched as the red-masked Summonerpletely defied science and magic before escaping.


    Now, Christensen was traumatized as he remembered the young Summoner. "If the Sexy Chocte was here, this probably wouldn''t have happened".


    He sobbed and hugged Leo tighter, the Frost Wolf did its best to restrain its inner cold from seeping out since it was already used to Christensen''s antics.


    A few meters away, Mr. Damien looked at the prince who he was tasked to protect and guide. Seeing the state of the prince and the hotel where they stayed, this middle-aged man once again felt really old.


    "Man, I''m really beginning to lose touch".


    It took a few minutes for him to finally live over the disappointment as soon as he thought of it, but once he did, he turned his attention to the 3 Grade E superhuman warriors who were tied to a corner of the rubble.


    Even for same-graded warriors, the difference in strength could be massive depending on bloodline, skills, innate abilities, and other things.


    This was the scenario when these 3 Grade E superhuman warriors fought against Leo, the Golden bloodline Frost Wolf was just too significantly stronger and more talented than the 3 of them together.


    As Mr. Damien walked closer and red at these 3 superhumans, they shuddered as they felt like the middle-aged man was about to butcher them.


    "W-what do you intend to do?" One of them stammered.


    "Who hired you?"


    "No one, I swear!" The same warrior yelled as sincerely as he could, causing Mr. Damien to narrow his eyes which only made him feel like pissing his pants.


    With tears in his eyes, he swore. "I swear on my penis that I wasn''t hired!"


    "¡­"


    Mr. Damien was speechless as he fought hard to prevent his eyes from twitching. "So, what motivated you to try stealing from the prince?"


    "It''s the Summoner".


    "How did you meet him?"


    "I didn''t meet him; he simply sent an anonymous message to my secret gathering. I don''t know how he knew about my gathering and our secret code, but he told me secret information about the prince".


    "That is what motivated us to attack, I swear!"


    Mr. Damien ignored all this warrior''s other bbering as he focused on one. ''Only the Sexy Chocte knew about the prince''s Summoner ss knowledge here''. He thought as his eyes shone excitedly.


    "Who sent you the message, a kid?"


    "No, it was a mature woman, I''m sure. I always lied that I had no backways to mymunication channel, but I traced the message and discovered that it came from one of the more mature women that lived across".


    "..."


    "I swear this is all I know".


    Mr. Damien deted, feeling lightheaded again. "So, it wasn''t the Sexy Chocte Afterall. Man, my observation has never been so wrong". He sighed. "I owe him an apology".


    "That kid is one really rare innocent soul that I misunderstood".


    After fully regretting how he treated the kid Summoner when he was actually so innocent and sincere, he finally turned his ire on the 3 Grade E warriors.


    He red at them. "From today, you 3 are Leo''s nanny, you guys will be in charge of cleaning his feces when he''s done doing his shit".


    The 3 warrior''s eyes widened. "Noooo!!!"


    ¡­


    A few streets away from the hotel that was just turned into a deste ground, an underground vent was pushed away as a young man climbed out.


    Legs was drenched by the water but he waspletely unhurt.


    He turned onest time to look in the direction of the hotel. "It was fun dealing with you guys, at least my curiosity to know the butler''s limit was satisfied".


    With that, Legs still in his new form after taking the Ultimate Man Potion finally started walking away out of the Blue Scale Shelter for good.


    This time, he did not look back. Once he sessfully evaded the search by the warriors of the shelter, he simply mounted his contracted beast, Predator who was waiting for him outside the shelter, and escaped.


    It was just too easy for him.

    ----


    After seeing the series of notifications on his virtual game interface that he was unable to see before due to the hectic nature of his escape, a wide smile stered Legs''s face as he patted his chest contentedly.


    "You did good Legs, chin up, you did good".


    Though it involved a lot of risks on his part, his confidence that was honed from his previous life yed a huge role in him pulling everything so perfectly.


    In the end, nothing went wrong. He seeded in getting what he wanted and still managed to leave a good impression of his real self on Christensen.


    He was satisfied, the bright smile on his face said it all.


    After acquiring 5 basic summoner knowledge, he unlocked the Basic Learner title as expected which was very useful for summoners.


    As for his other title, the Beast ne Traveler, it finally enabled him to travel through the beast ne which was something he craved for a long time already.


    The Beast ne Metaphysics granted him ess to the beast ne to contract his first summoned beast. The Basic Beast ne Traveler knowledgeplemented it as it enabled him to enter the beast ne.


    With the metaphysics alone, he could only project his mana into the beast ne and sign a contract with a random beast.


    But with the Basic Beast ne Traveler now, Legs could enter the beast ne himself and hunt for the beast that he wanted to contract.


    The Beast ne had far more beasts than the real world, that was why Legs was so hyped already to enter this world of beasts.


    Before going, he first thought of his new phase of the Summoner main ss, the Shepherd ss. The Shepherd phase emphasized more on leading a herd of summoned beasts rather than 1 simple contracted beast.


    It gave far more emphasis to the intelligence and mystery attributes.


    After he finished making his preparations, Legs instructed Predator to watch over Lucky before finally projecting his Summoner energy to the strange dimension whose pathway had already be visible to him.


    The next moment, a rainbow bridge appeared and he was sucked away.

 Chapter 34 The Beast Plane

    Sophia was having the day of her life.


    A few days ago, she engaged in business with the World through the Lord Hermit''s gathering. After getting the Elysium Seeds through the supers materials market, she did not hesitate to pray to the Hermit.


    Legs already received the materials on that same day but he did not reciprocate immediately, he had to keep the notion that getting the Elementalist book was not an easy feat on his part.


    After the beast apocalypse, of the few humans that survived, only a small amount of them was able to develop and unlock the supergene.


    And of those that unlocked the supergene, unless they were connected to any of the major powers and academies, they had no ess to super knowledge to unlock a main ss and be superhuman warriors.


    Sophia''s dad was a powerful businessman who had connections to some of the different shelters and the leaders who governed them.


    Through his connections, he already knew the dangers that were fraught in the super life, and that was why he did not get a main ss for his daughter.


    Being the only daughter andst born, Sophia was dotted on a lot by her father. He would never allow her to be a superhuman warrior, he rather preferred hiring superhuman warriors to protect her.


    Knowing this was why Sophia grabbed the opportunity that was presented by the World. Today, the World finally fulfilled his promise.


    Legs did not do much, he left everything to Aaron who simply drafted aprehensive book on Elementalism through his extensive knowledge.


    Sophia looked down at the book that was on her bed.


    >A Basic Guide into Elementalism- Secrets of Elementalists<


    "Woof!"


    Having noticed the extreme excitement that she was experiencing already; Lily barked to voice her concern least her owner fainted from excitement.


    Sophia smiled and stuck a tongue out at her dog before patting her chest to calm herself down. Once she calmed down, she finally opened therge book and started going through it.


    Even with her shallow knowledge, once she read just 2 minutes in, Sophia knew that she was reading a masterpiece about Elementalism.


    She was amazed. "The Hermit is really an unfathomable existence".


    She kept reading for minutes until something clicked in her head. All of a sudden, her eyes turned white as her consciousness left her body.


    Sophia saw herself in a world of different colors with 4 colors being the most dominant, orange, cyan green, brown, and blue.


    This was her first timeing here but instinctively, she knew what to do. Sophia willed and moved her consciousness towards her best color of the 4, blue which seemed more appealing to her at this moment.


    Once she merged with the blue color, the world shattered.


    Sophia woke up to her dog barking worriedly.


    "Woof!"


    "It''s ok, Lily". Sophia rubbed the dog''s head to calm her down as she reflected back on her experience inside the strange world.


    "I read about that strange world in the book. The 4 colors represent the 4 main elements of nature, orange for fire, cyan green for air, brown for earth, and blue for water".


    Her eyes widened excitedly. "Does that mean I got a water affinity?"


    Following the instructions in the book, Sophia tried to focus on her head to mobilize the strange power that she now felt there.


    As she concentrated, to her shock, a blob of water suddenly materialized above her hand as she easily manipted it into any shape that she wanted.


    Sophia was stunned. "I¡­, I am an Elementalist!" She yelled as she started a happy dance all over her room.


    A few minutester though, she calmed down as she fought hard to suppress her excitement before kneeling down to pray to the Hermit again.


    She prayed to express her gratitude to the World for fulfilling his part of the agreement and also to thank the Hermit again for giving him the opportunity to be a part of his sacred gathering.


    ¡­


    After the rainbow bridge, Legs saw himself appear in a different world.


    The first thing that attracted his attention was the violet skies. A bright smile lit up his face as he saw this. "Oh boy, this feels more like home".


    After such a long time, he saw himself in the beast ne again.


    The beast ne was the real home of all beasts. Just like the Void dimension was exclusive to void existences, so also was the beast ne to beasts.


    This was where summoners could get their summoned beasts, and this was also where the Shepherd could start his career of rearing beasts.


    Every dimension and ne had ess nodes on differents, and these ess nodes led to different parts of the specific ne. Where Legs stood right now was the part of the beast ne where the Darvis node was located.


    To travel from this part safely to another major part of the beast ne, he needed to be a Grade A superhuman warrior first.


    Legs had no intentions of leaving this part though, his goals could be fulfilled here. He first looked around and observed his surroundings.


    At this moment, he was standing on what seemed like a mountain.


    Different rocks, big and small dominated this area with a small stream about 20 meters off in front of him. Surrounding this mountain was several veryrge trees forming a forest, with different animals big and small crawling about.


    All across the mountain moved different wild beasts, ranging from Mountain Goats to Goblins, Trolls, and Lions. Legs knew that there were also Dragons and other mythical beasts in the beast ne, they upied the deeper parts.


    The skies were not spared either as Eagles and other birds of prey flew, with some of them asionallying to blows.


    The atmosphere here was energetic and full of savagery.


    "Nice". Legs nodded as this was the real deal.


    This was his yground; this was where his real genius and expertise as a Summoner and Zoologist could be really put into y.


    As he looked though, Legs suddenly heard the cry of a wolf from high up in the mountain. He looked up only for his eyes to sh with the Dark Wolf''s.


    Without hesitation, Legs started sprinting down the mountain towards the forest. Without his contracted beast, his pet, and without his basic alloy sword too, he needed his brain more than ever before.


    Legs was ready for the challenge though. "Bring it on!"

 Chapter 35 Contracting 1st Summoned Beast- The Wind Wolf

    3 dayster in the beast ne¡­


    The smell of roasted meat rose in the air as Legs attended to the pair of rabbits that were on the burning fire, his nose twitched as they were roasted.


    A few minutester, he sat down and enjoyed his feast.


    During the past 3 days, Legs refused to leave the beast ne until he achieved his goal. He spent his time nning and strategizing after setting his sights on his target already, the wolf pack.


    Summoner energy was required to pass through the rainbow bridge, which restricted the beast ne only to be essed by Summoners.


    At his current stage of the Grade E realm, Legs only had enough Summoner energy to bring himself into the beast ne. He would need to develop his mana and Summoner energy to consider bringing Predator in here.


    He could bring his basic alloy sword but he didn''t bother since it would not really do much in increasing hisbat strength.


    Even with his Combat Master active ability, he was still a superhuman warrior who mainly relied on his contracted beasts and pets for every single battle.


    Now, without any of these, he had to settle to use his brain to solve it all.


    On his first day of arriving here, after being pursued by the Dark Wolf, Legs escaped and hid inside the thick forest which gave him enough cover to strategize.


    To other summoners who were new to the beast ne, entering the forest was suicide since it had so many dangerous beasts. For a Summoner with Legs''s experience though, this was easy as he outwitted all the beasts and hid.


    In his hiding, Legs worked with what was avable to him. He made use of the trees nearby with his improved strength before turning the branches into makeshift spears through which he could attack.


    With his weapon problem solved, he focused on finding his target. His reason foring to the beast ne was to get his 2nd contracted beast.


    Summoned beasts were different from ordinary contracted beasts. Summoned beasts were those that were contracted in the beast ne.


    Legs knew of some beasts with OP bloodlines in the beast ne, including their territories but he did not go for any of these. With his current strength, Legs was realistic enough to recognize that going for them was suicide.


    This was why after observing for 3 days, he set his eyes on the wolf pack where the Dark Wolf which attacked him originated from.


    Among this pack of wolves was a Wind Wolf that already caught his attention. Wind Wolves were not exactly rare, but Legs wanted this wolf for its 2 main attributes, its leadership and speed.


    The wolf pack was the twin alphas of this mountain alongside a powerful lone beast, a Purple-scaled Smander with a Draconic bloodline.


    The Purple-scaled Smander was a peak Grade E beast who was far stronger than Predator. None of the wolves stood a chance against it, they only stood a chance due to the fact that they were a pack.


    Among the wolves, the Wind Wolf was not the strongest. Of the wolf pack of 15 wolves, the Dark Wolf and the alpha Wraith Wolf were the strongest.


    Going against them head-on was suicide and was why Legs needed 3 days. After nning for 3 days, today was the day that he nned to get this beast.


    His n was a simple but effective one.


    ¡­


    It was another morning in the beast ne to the wolves.


    All the other wolves paid their respects to the Wraith Wolf as this alpha led them out to hunt again. When they moved, most other beasts in the mountain cowered since none matched them.


    That morning though, something seemed to be wrong since it took them longer to find their prey. They ended up finding prey in an unusual location.


    Once they saw the spotted Deer behind a passage in between 2 rocks, the wolves calmly maintained their silence as they slowly moved closer.


    Under themands of their leader the Wraith Wolf, every wolf knew its duty as once they closed the distance enough, being the fastest of them all, the Wind Wolf exploded with speed towards the passage.


    The Wraith Wolf and the Dark Wolf followed closely behind as the others aimed to run across to cut off the escape path of the helpless Deer.


    Once the sprint started, the Deer was rmed as it also tried to run but for some reason, its feet were stuck to the forest floor.


    The wolves did not notice this as the Wind Wolf finally stormed through the passage. Once it stormed through, a reaction took ce.


    Underneath the passage was a hidden tree root, with the Wind Wolf''s outrageous speed, the root got torn apart, revealing a pointed tree branch that was hidden under it. This tree branch originally supported an unbnced rock.


    Once the Wind Wolf passed through, after these reactions, as the rock lost its bnce, it came swinging towards the approaching Wraith Wolf with speed.


    The Wraith Wolf turned ethereal the next moment, barely dodging the swinging rock but the Dark Wolf was not as lucky as the rock smashed against its'' head with all the force from its momentum.


    The force was too much as the Dark Wolf became instantly paralyzed.


    Stunned, the Wraith Wolf turned to attend to its subordinate, exposing its back in the process as Legs finally came from his hiding spot behind the rocks.


    He threw 2 pointed-tip tree branches with all his strength. The Wraith Wolf was fast enough to dodge the first, but the 2nd dug into its waist.


    Awoo!!!


    As the alpha Wolf howled in anger and pain, Legs abandoned them after injuring them as he sprinted towards the caged Wind Wolf.


    Legs''s n did not just involve the trap to incapacitate the 2 strongest wolves, he also created a wooden cage that now already trapped the Wind Wolf.


    Apart from the cage, 2 tree spears that he made already dug into the Wind Wolf''s body as this powerful wolf now whimpered in pain while growling.


    The n was simple, but the implementation was hard.


    It finally came to the hardest part of the n as Legs rapidly sprinted towards the trapped Wind Wolf before cing a hand on its head. "Please work".

    Unlike the time when he signed his beast contract with Predator, he seemed to carry bad luck this time as the attempt failed both the 1st and 2nd time.


    This was when he really remembered how invaluable Lucky was to him.


    "F*ck! Work for me!"


    Sweat dripped down Legs''s head as the other wolves that took the long way around already arrived and were now sprinting toward him angrily.


    He was now on a time limit. It was either the contracting process seeded and he got the Wind Wolf or he got devoured by these angry wolves.


    -----


    You have activated skill: Beast Contract

    ----


    "F*CK!!!"


    Legs swore as he looked back only to see an angry Wraith Wolf back in the battle as this alpha wolf sprinted with such momentum that could tten him.


    Legs swallowed before trying it onest time. "God of Games, if you''re alive and out there and really want to satisfy your curiosity, help me!"


    -----


    You have activated skill: Beast Contract


    Contracting process has seeded


    ----


    Instantly, Legs wrapped himself and the Wind Wolf with his green Summoner energy as a familiar rainbow bridge appeared the next moment.


    He jumped in but not after the Wraith Wolf left a scar on his face.

 Chapter 36 Near-Death Experience

    Predator was having the time of his life for the past 3 days.


    When Legs left it in the forest, he didn''t inform the Nightmare Beast about a time frame, the only order that he gave was for Predator to watch over Lucky and make sure that nothing happened to the Star Fox.


    Predator obeyed this order only for 1 full day. Bored to death already, the Nightmare Beast nudged Lucky and getting no reaction, went out hunting.


    The past 3 days were the most exciting and carefree in its life since it became a contracted beast. Free again, Predator got to hunt to his satisfaction.


    Its dark shadow already became a horror sight in the forest.


    Today, after a satisfying and fruitful hunting session where it enjoyed itself, Predator swaggered back to the clearing where Legs left it and Lucky.


    On getting there though, Predator paused as it directed a puzzled look at the airbag. Arge hole was now torn through the airbag, and a yellow hairy body could be seen poking out of the hole.


    That was Lucky but the question was, when did Lucky be so big?


    Curious and excited, Predator ran closer as he kept on nudging at the yellow Fox with his nose to no avail as Lucky failed to give a reaction.


    For some reason, Lucky grew big out of nowhere but it was still enjoying its weeks-long nap. Predator soon grew bored but as it was about to fall asleep, a familiar rainbow bridge appeared through which Legs came out.


    "Growl!"


    Predator soon started growling though as its master did not return alone, but he returned with a huge Wolf that seemed like a formidable opponent.


    The only reason why it didn''t pounce on the wolf yet was that it felt a weird sense of kinship with this wolf which was something that it could not understand.


    "Ugh!" Legs groaned as he rolled on the floor.


    The journey to and back from the beast ne was not as smooth-going as he expected. His n was nice and he was experienced enough to implement it, what he failed to ount for was theck of Lucky''s presence for her incredible luck.


    Without the element of luck, an endeavor that should have been pretty straightforward became a deadly encounter.


    At this moment, Legs felt dizzy and lightheaded as it seemed that all blood was drained from his body. The Wraith Wolf did this to him.


    The most lethal weapon of Wraith Wolfs was their undead energy. When injured by them and infected with undead energy, without immunity, that part of the skin starts decaying in mere minutes.


    In an hour without treatment, a Grade E superhuman dies.


    At the moment of him jumping into the rainbow bridge with the Wind Wolf, the Wraith Wolf wed him on his right cheek. At this moment, Legs''s face already started decaying as he felt the life draining out of him.


    Even as Predator and the Wind Wolf kept on growling at each other, he could not respond to them as he was weak and his life was currently in danger.


    There were a lot of ways to cure the decay caused by undead energy. The closest form that Legs could ess in the forest was Quantum leaves mixed with red rap fruits and the monster core of an undead beast.


    Legs could get the Quantum leaves and red rap fruits in this forest, but as for the monster core of an undead beast, this was something he could not get now.


    Every second that passed, Legs felt his life force draining. "F*ck it!"


    Out of options, Legs could only resort to one other option in this moment of desperation. He tapped the grey apple tattoo on his wrist and instantly his consciousness left his body to the grey world.


    In there, Legs sent an emergency message through the World to the Star.


    The message entailed that he was caught in a battle somewhere and was injured, he needed urgent help in the form of the monster core of an undead beast.


    Legs did not know what would be the oue of this but he continued fighting for his life.


    While ignoring the 2 growling beasts, he crawled deeper into the forest and found the Quantum leaves and red rap fruits after 30 minutes of searching.


    By now, there was still no response from the Star and his face already started deforming, Legs despaired.


    Despite all this, he kept on hoping against all hope as he jammed the fruits and leaves together into a perfect mix. He added a drop of water to make it sticky before praying and waiting for a miracle.


    If a Summoner died, his contracted and summoned beast also died.


    By now, the injured Wind Wolf and Predator already noticed the signs as they forgot growling and came to Legs''s side with bestial expressions filled with worry.


    They constantly whimpered but Legs was too weak to respond.


    The time continued counting without a reply from the Star.


    It was 40 minutes already since he was infected, no response¡­


    50 minutes, still no response¡­


    55 minutes, still no response¡­


    By now, Legs already hovered between the point of consciousness and unconsciousness as heughed inwardly. ''What a pathetic way for a legend to die''.


    It was at the 57th minute that his grey tattoo finally responded, the Star finally prayed and the monster core of an undead beast was delivered.


    The monster core appeared in the real world, but Legs was already too weak to make use of it. Predator and the Wind Wolf were left staring.


    The Wind Wolf waspletely clueless, but as for Predator, having seen Legs making different miraculous potions and drinking them, it got an idea.


    Predator grabbed the monster core with its teeth, crushed it, and threw it into the mix of leaves, fruits, and water. Instantly, the mixture sizzled before turning dark green.


    Predator grabbed the mixture and shoved everything into its master''s mouth, Legs swallowed even as he lost consciousness at the same time.


    -----


    You have been affected by an undead energy decay!


    ¡­


    You have ingested the Reverse-decay mixture!


    Calcting resistance and mixture efficacy¡­, calctionplete!


    Undead energy decay has been stopped¡­


    Commencing undead energy purging¡­


    ----


    For 2 full hours, Legs stayed unconscious as the Reverse-decay mixture worked its wonders while the 2 Grade E beasts watched worriedly.


    During these 2 hours, the decay on his face disappeared as he slowly started recovering. Once the decay disappeared fully, the effects of the Ultimate Man Potion form also disappeared as Legs returned to his 15-year-old self.


    This was when his eyes finally snapped open.


    "Haaa!" Legs gasped for breath.

 Chapter 37 Akela, The Wind Wolf

    "I survived!"


    "Hahaha, I f*cking survived!"


    "F*ck you haters! F*ck you evil wishers! F*ck you all!"


    Legs on waking up and not seeing himself burning in hell was ecstatic as he vented his emotions before firmly grabbing Predator in a tight hug.


    This time, Predator saved his life.


    After taking a few minutes to calm down, Legs finally gave attention to some of the virtual interface notifications that he previously ignored due to the fact that he was in a near-death state.


    Most predominantly of them all was on his summoned beast''s status.

    [Remark: A mature and veteran Wind Wolf that knows its stuff.]


    ----


    Once again, despite the risks involved and though this time he came close to death, Legs was able toe out of it all with lots of benefits.


    After getting his first summoned beast, he finally unlocked the Shepherd of the Beast ne ability which was an ability that he also needed.


    With Predator''s infinite potential, he had no doubts that Predator would get to the Grade D realm before him. All the Nightmare Beast needed was the perfect hunting ground, and the beast ne was perfect for it.


    With this ability, Legs could now send both beasts to the beast ne at will to train. And with the Organic Connection ss knowledge, if Predator broke through, he would benefit and the Wind Wolf would benefit also.


    From what he saw in the Wind Wolf''s status, this wolf was definitely no genius like Lucky or Predator, what its status instead spoke of it was that it was a survivor, a beast that thrived in dangerous conditions.


    Despite living for 13 years already, the Wind Wolf was still a Grade E beast and in basic stats, Predator was already stronger than it.


    Legs did not contract it mainly for its strength though. On seeing the catalogue of the Wind Wolf''s passive and active abilities, this validated why he went for the Wind Wolf.


    Unlike Predator who still had basic abilities in its status, this Wolf already hunted for so long that it had abilities that were exclusive to its style already.


    Each one of its abilitiesplemented it in a way that enabled it to survive for so long, and added with its leadership abilities, it was the perfect sheep that Shepherd Legs needed to lead his flock.


    And after bing his summoned beast, the Wolf''s low talent no longer mattered. The Organic Connection tying them together would remedy this.


    The wolf would simply now leech from Predator''s brilliance and talent.


    Legs looked down at the white hairy Wind Wolf who also looked back at him calmly, then he asked. "Do you have a name?"


    Unlike Predator, the Wind Wolf was much more intelligent and couldmunicate more clearly telepathically. "No, master, but they called me the wind scout in my pack".


    "Ok". Legs touched his chin in deep thought. "Then I''ll give you a name".


    "Since you will be the leader of my pack, I will name you Ak".


    -----


    [Contracted Summoned Beast name has been registered: Ak]


    ----


    Unlike the other 2 mofos, Ak was much more courteous after being given a name as it bowed its head respectfully before its master.


    Legs''s impression of this Wind Wolf was already rising up a notch.


    After dealing with all this, Legs was satisfied and he could finally rest. From Prince Christensen''s situation to the Wind Wolf now, though luck tried to screw him over, he seeded and it was a feat worth being proud of.


    Now, he felt that he was ready to reward himself with a goodnight rest.


    Legs did just that as he slumped into the sweet world of slumbend.


    ¡­


    The next morning, Legs woke up energized.


    He loved this feeling since in this state, his brain was very active. Despite just waking up, he already had a clear idea of what he needed to do to make the day productive and the name that dominated his mind was the Star.


    After settling down, Legs took his time topose the best appreciation speech that he could think of before sending it to the Star through the grey world.


    After doing this, he finally checked his virtual interface for the mission that was his current priority.


    ------


    [You have received a new Grade D Mission: Assassinating the Assassin!]


    [Mission Objective: Find the assassin who made an attempt on the Star''s father''s life, kill him!]


    [Mission Deadline: 15 Days]


    [Mission Rewards: 100,000 Experience points, +50 Favorability with The Star!]


    -----


    After spending so many days already, there were only few days remaining to the deadline that was given for this mission and the beta testing.


    "Here Ie baby!"

 Chapter 38 Emergency!

    After a 6-hour-long journey, Legs finally arrived at the Timbend Shelter.


    Since there were only 2 days till the deadline that was written on the mission description, Legs had no intention of wasting time.


    Having rode throughout the journey on top Ak, now, the massive Wind Wolf''s breath was slightly ragged as Predator trailed behind while panting like a beast who was already on itsst breath.


    Legs ignored Predator''s plight as he focused on the massive shelter that stood before him, the Timbend Shelter was a special one.


    Compared to the Gwen Shelter and the Blue Scale Shelter where Legs had been to, the Timbend Shelter was much more developed and also seemed much less affected by the beast apocalypse.


    There were more high-rise buildings here, with a lot of other evidence that pointed at the greater fortune of this shelterpared to others.


    Legs savored the beautiful view for a few minutes beforeing down from Ak''s back. This was when he finally paid attention to his 2 contracted beasts as Predator''s dangerous tongue wagged to show he was tired.


    "Tired¡­"


    "Tired¡­"


    "Tired¡­"


    "I know, I know, no need tomunicate telepathically". Legs patted Predator before the Nightmare Beast could finish him with itsints.


    Predator was stubborn though as he continued. "Tired¡­"


    "¡­" Legs red at Predator, finally prompting him into silence.


    He sighed at his contracted beast''s antics before addressing them. "I intend to enter inside this shelter alone, they can''t see me with you guys, at least not yet".


    "So, for the time being, I want you both to be in the beast ne. There, you can decide to either rest or hunt, do anything you like".


    "Are we on the same page?"


    "Yes, master".


    "Tired¡­"


    Legs ignored Predator before continuing his actions anyway.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Once Legs projected his Summoner energy into the beast ne, the familiar rainbow bridge appeared as for the first time, Ak wagged its tongue in anticipation. It was finally about to return home.


    Unlike Ak, Predator directed a weird look at this rainbow bridge as the light from the bridge extended to wrap up the 2 contracted beasts.


    To Legs''s surprise, even though she was not his contracted beast, the rainbow light also enveloped Lucky who was still asleep from evolution despite growing a few inchesrger every day.


    The next moment, all 3 beasts disappeared.


    Once they disappeared, Legs got prepared before bringing out another bottle from the remaining 4 bottles containing the Ultimate Man Potion as he downed its contents without any hesitation.


    A few secondster, his face and build changed into that of an entirely different superhuman warrior that Rex saw some time ago.


    He finally walked into the Timbend Shelter like every other human.


    Legs''s priority as he entered this shelter was finding an inn to stay in and locating the business merchant Keane''s mansion. Every other decision that he took would be from what he got after achieving his first 2 objectives.


    ¡­


    The Timbend Shelter had differences from other shelters.


    Like most shelters, the 3 main ss academies were the leading powers but the power division was much more diverse. There were governors in charge of the different prefectures.


    The Blue Sea prefecture was under the jurisdiction of Governor Bam who was a powerful Pugilist and was also a close friend of the businessman, Keane.


    More than a week ago, the wealthy businessman, Keane came under the attack of an unknown assassin and was left in a terrible state.


    The wealthy businessman survived but his life still hung on a thread. Despite this, the anonymous assassin still made threats on finishing the job.


    This act did not just put Mr. Keane''s life in danger, but it also angered Governor Bam who was a close friend of the businessman. In terms of the economy, this act also brought a lot of panic to the prefecture.


    Even as all efforts were made to save Mr. Keane''s life to no avail, so also did Governor Bam try to find the assassin''s trails to no avail.


    Inside the Keane mansion¡­


    A somber atmosphere was in the master''s room as sobbing sounds could be heard; the physician was finally about to give his verdict.


    The old man shook his head. "The poison is too strong; I can''t purge it the natural way. It''s also a new poison, I still can''t figure out its configuration to try concocting an antidote".


    "At best¡­" The old man sighed. "He''ll only survive tomorrow".


    Hearing this from this man was like hearing the master''s death sentence. Being the best physician in the whole shelter, this old man''s words were taken with the weight of gold as Governor Bam sighed dejectedly.


    "Thanks for trying your best Old man". The Governor finally turned to his friend''s family tofort them. "I''ll definitely find the assassin!"


    Once the Governor and the physician left, the master''s wife followed as his 2 children held her in a tight hug. In this tight hug, Jackson was the only oneforting Sophia and their mom as both women broke down in tears.


    "I don''t want to lose dad¡­, I can''t¡­" Sophia sobbed.


    It took a few minutes but Jackson was finally able to persuade both women to leave the room. Alone with his dad now, Jackson tried to hold his feelings but he could not as tears involuntarily rolled down his eyes.


    "Mom and sister need us the most at these trying times, I still can''t believe that strong-headed Richard refused to leave his regiment".


    "Is his regiment more important than family?"


    "F*ck his regiment!" He vented his emotions beforeying down close to his poisoned dad as he looked at him, hoping for a miracle.


    In these trying times, he already learned that money could not solve everything. Even with all their money, his dad was still about to die, and he felt awful.


    ¡­


    After returning to her room, Sophiay on her bed and cried her heart out.


    For over an hour, she just kept on crying until her heart calmed a bit and she started thinking rationally. She thought for a bit and out of options, she remembered only one channel that she could ask for help, the Hermit.


    Sophia kneeled beside her luxurious bed. "Your Excellency the Hermit¡­"


    She barely started praying before a knock on her window interrupted her. Shocked, Sophia sprang to her knees and felt even more spooked when she saw an unknown man now clung to her windows.


    "Who are¡­?"


    She was about to scream when this stranger made a hand sign that made her calm down by using his 2 index fingers to form a weird square shape, this was the agreed-upon peace sign of the Hermit''s gathering.


    Sophia stood petrified, even more shocked and slightly astonished now. "Are you¡­, the World?"


    "Yes".


    From there, everything progressed naturally.


    Once he was let in, Legs held a long discussion with Sophia. After spying on the physician''s diagnosis and all, Legs finally understood why the mission indicated that he only had 2 days remaining.


    After 2 days, Mr. Keane would either die to the poison or the assassin.


    This realization added an emergency element to this mission, having promised her already, for the Hermit''s image and probably for Sophia, Legs wanted to save this filthy rich businessman by all means.


    "This is an emergency, Sophia, tell me all that you know about the assassin!"


    "I want to know what happened that day, your dad''s schedule, who he met, who came to the mansion, everything helpful, I need to know it!"


    Due to the authoritative tone in which he requested it; Sophia answered instinctively. When she was done, Legs patted her slightly before leaving.


    This was an emergency; he was off to work immediately with the information that he could get through Sophia.


    He was already after the assassin.

 Chapter 39 Shocking Encounter- Clown!

    Once again, Legs''s experience came for the rescue.


    From the information that Sophia revealed, he found some loopholes. Mr. Keane''s mansion was heavily protected by superhuman warriors, there were literally no ways of infiltrating unless there was an insider.


    The only other reason for infiltration was if this assassin was a Grade C superhuman which was highly unlikely at the current stage of the game world.


    Legs''s first task that he took on was doing a background sweep of all the guards of the mansion.


    It took him 3 full hours, but he seeded and got what he wanted, and from personally stalking and meeting most of them, he confirmed that none of them were responsible for the betrayal.


    With this side unfruitful, Legs switched to his 2nd loophole that was connected to the first. Of all the people that Mr. Keane met on that day, Governor Bam was the only one who stayed long enough to sabotage him.


    Also, Governor Bam and his subordinates were the ones responsible for organizing the mansion''s security measures against assassinations like this.


    All these clues made Legsbel the Governor as a suspect.


    The reason that slightly stalled his measures though was that the Governor was a powerful Grade E Pugilist. With this warrior''s sharp instincts, the Governor would know miles ahead if he tried following him.


    Now, Legs had to weigh it if it was worth exposing himself just to get one desperate opportunity to interrogate this Governor or to try the longer route of meeting all the Governor''s subordinates.


    "Damn, that guy is too powerful to try subtle means with".


    "Such a pain". Legs soon made his decision.


    Instead of going after the Governor, he took the longer route and started meeting all the Governor''s subordinates one at a time.


    Due to his experience and subtle measures, the warriors were unable to notice his presence as he stalked them, researched them, and learned about them.


    In no time, Legs finished a dozen but more warriors were still ahead.


    ¡­


    5 hourster when it was already night with the sun back to its hideout, Legs was still hard at work as he fought his tiredness and stalked a warrior.


    Having worked his way up from the least important subordinate, Legs was now stalking the 3rd ranked and most important superhuman warrior in the Governor''s subordinate hierarchy.


    Just a few minutes of stalking and Legs noticed something wrong with this Grade F superhuman warrior. This warrior deliberately took roundabout routes to confirm that he was not being followed before entering a bar.


    Inside this bar, he met with a hooded man where they conversed and whispered some things that Legs was unable to make sense of.


    Legs only caught one sentence. "We''ll meet at the Theater of Laughter".


    "Theater ofughter¡­, what is that?" Legs was confused.


    This strange name rang a bell in his head, but he was not superman. Even with his intelligence, he could also forget, he didn''t remember what this sentence indicated but the fact that it rang a bell made him remain alert.


    Once the meeting ended, Legs had the option of either following the hooded warrior or the Governor''s subordinate.


    Having noticed that the hooded warrior was a Grade E warrior already, he opted to continue following the Governor''s subordinate.


    Another 3 hours continued like this until it was deep into the night. This was when the Governor''s subordinate woke up and sneaked out of his home.


    He sneaked a great distance to a remote corner of the prefecture close to the seashore before disappearing. Legs was not confused though, having kept a close eye on him, he knew that the warrior left through a secret door.


    The reason why he didn''t follow immediately was that he already recognized that he was in enemy territory. "Things moved smoother than I expected".


    "But¡­," Legs''s eyes narrowed. "Why does this hideoutyout seem so familiar?" The feeling of d¨¦j¨¤ vu was stronger than ever now.


    To keep himself unseen and invisible, Legs spent 20 minutes finding all the guards spying the entrance to the hideout.


    After getting their locations, with his experience, he easily found the blind spot where he could take inside without being seen and which time to take it.


    Once the window of opportunity opened, Legs was sharp and took it.


    Creak!


    With a slight sound, the secret door that was covered with leaves finally opened as Legs seeded in infiltrating the camp of the enemy.


    What appeared after the secret door was a long winding staircase that led downwards, the deeper it went, the darker it became.

    Havinge prepared, now fully relying on his Agent subss, Legs equipped his pair ofmon Pistols before finally moving down the staircase.


    On getting to the end of the staircase, Legs saw an empty underground hall with a massive ultic circle drawn in the middle.


    Around this circr ultic drawing were warriors, about 18 superhuman warriors at different positions around the circle.


    At this moment, these superhuman warriors were all kneeled with a fervent expression on their face as they seemed to start praying to their god.


    2 minutester, the void in the middle of the ultic drawing flickered before a massive projection appeared the next moment.


    As soon as this massive projection appeared, Legs did not have the time to get a clear look as he was spooked after experiencing a familiar feeling.


    -----


    You have been swept by an energy check


    ----


    Instantly after the energy check, the massive projection turned as a pair of eyes turned in that direction but no one was there, Legs already hid.


    The projection looked for 5 seconds before losing interest as he turned back to his 18 fervent psychopaths before bestowing them with his sermon.


    With his back against the wall, shielding him from the energy check, Legs felt his back fill up with cold sweat. "A Grade C- expert!"


    An energy check was like the soul search of cultivators in famous cultivation novels and it could only be used by high-grade superhuman warriors.


    During his heyday as a Grade A Summoner, Legs''s Summoner energy check could search a region spanning kilometers.


    "Who is this expert?"


    Legs''s mind ran wild instantly as he wondered what he just got himself into and the real identity of this strange Grade C- expert. He was not sure of the expert''s exact grade, but he was definitely above the Grade D realm.


    ultic drawings, fervent worshippers, they all rang a bell but due to the shock of meeting an expert, his brain could not settle enough to think.


    Legs''s train of thought was interrupted when this projection finally spoke.


    "My fervent psychopaths, the day will soon be upon us".


    "The day that we''ve all wet-dreamed about, the day of freedom, the day of chaos, the day where the revolution begins, the day where the order of Kings, Queens, Governors, and anything order is torn down".


    "The day where the revolution to restore the world back to chaos begins".


    "The day where the worship of chaos returns".


    "All hail chaos!" One of the fervent worshippers could not hold back his excitement as he yelled, interrupting the projection''s speech.


    The atmosphere instantly turned chilly. "A psychopath interrupted me?"


    On hearing this, in his hideout behind the wall, Legs felt the sweat on his back increasing as the feeling of d¨¦j¨¤ vu in him increased.


    "A f*cking psychopath interrupted me?"


    "Hahaha¡­, hehehe¡­, hohoho¡­"


    As the projectionughed like a maniac, Legs felt goosebumps all over his body as the feeling of d¨¦j¨¤ vu increased all the more.


    "Hehehe¡­"


    The next moment, the projection snapped a finger as the head of the warrior who interrupted him erupted in mes.


    As this poor warrior cried out in pain to death, the projection seemed to start apetition to try ousting the warrior''s cries of pain with hisughter.


    "Hehehe¡­, hohoho¡­"


    Amid his crazyughter, the projection finally disappeared.


    By now, Legs''s goosebumps already reached its peak as he already recognized who this was, he let himself slip and muttered. "Clown!"


    "Who is there?"


    Legs felt his heart chill.

 Chapter 40 Character Creation Complete

    For a long time since his reincarnation, Legs had been worried about why he had not heard of the notorious Clown Society yet.


    He already had different theories, but after this moment, he confirmed that all his theories were wrong.


    The Clown Society was there, they just remained umting strength in the dark, and today was the day they''ve been waiting for.


    Legs finally knew why Sophia''s mission was tagged as a Grade D mission; the mission actually involved the Clown Society which really surprised him.


    Once again, he got to meet the notorious Clown but this was not a game anymore, he could actually die this time and was why he felt goosebumps.


    When Clown finally left, Legs heaved a huge sigh of relief but that was not the end of his misery as his relief pushed him into making a silly mistake.


    "Who is there?"


    As soon as he heard this, Legs''s brain geared into overdrive mode.


    He needed less than a second topletely analyze his current situation. At this moment, he was stuck in enemy territory against 18 Grade E superhuman warriors, and an unknown number of Grade F warriors.


    Of these 18 Grade E Superhumans, Legs guessed that the assassin that he needed to kill was among them but he didn''t have the luxury for that now.


    At this moment, his survival was paramount since after his analysis, he discovered that his chances of victory were less than 2% even if he risked it all.


    Without hesitation, Legs finally made his move.


    "Intruder!" "Don''t let him escape!"


    Even as the 18 rmed Grade E Superhumans rushed forward to kill him while yelling, Legs''s virtual game interface lit up.

    ----


    Of the 18 Grade E Superhumans, some of them were Elementalists as they went to work instantly. Those with earth affinity controlled the surrounding earth to form something like a shield to cage Legs.


    While the Elementalists worked to cage him in, the Pugilists sprinted with all the force that their legs could carry to close the distance to him.


    Before the cage could enclosepletely, 2 loud gunshots reverberated as Legs finally put his G-96 Automatic Pistols to use.


    2 of the Elementalists received urate shots to the head as they were both knocked unconscious instantly, having not expected the shot and barely being protected by their Elementalist barrier.


    Those 2 were knocked out, but the other superhumans reacted fast enough to protect themselves but that was not the only reason why Legs shot at them.


    Chaotic mana bullets were great at messing with superhuman''s control over their energy. With the bullets, the elementalists were kept at bay.


    As for the only 2 Summoners among the 18, their contracted beasts were not here with them which made them more or less useless in this battle. They didn''t have an Agent sub ss like Legs did.


    The only people that now posed a problem to him were the Pugilists who were the majority. Legs countered them with his Combat Master active ability.


    3 Pugilists cut off Legs''s escape route as they appeared in his front like thugs. The one who seemed to be the strongest of the 3 jumped in first with 5 rapidbo jabs, followed by a front kick and an overhead kick.


    The Pugilist energy empowering this Pugilist''s attacks was fierce as his jabs cut open Legs''s defense, enabling the 2 kicks to connect easily.


    Boom!


    Legs was kicked on the chest andunched away like a ball as he coughed blood but he was still as clear-headed as ever. Even with his Combat Master ability, he was no Pugilist and Pugilists were the masters of closebat.


    Having expected this, Legs already calcted everything, he positioned himself in a way to determine where the force of the kick would carry him to.


    It was after the 2 kicks connected that the Pugilist''s eyes widened as the momentum carried Legs all the way before dropping him in the stairs.


    The Pugilist jumped to try arriving faster at the winding staircase, but Legs was a step ahead afternding as he turned and pulled the trigger.


    Even till now, he was still as clear-headed and ruthless as ever.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Bullets sprayed out of the automatic pistol''s muzzles like rain.


    The Pugilist was not prepared as the Chaotic Mana Bullets destroyed his energy control, including his Pugilist energy shield in the process. Once his energy shield was destroyed, the bullets wasted him.


    The Pugilist saw his fate and yelled valiantly before dying. "For the Clown!"

    The death of this Pugilist came as a shock to the others.


    They became much more cautious but also angrier. Instantly after killing the Pugilist, Legs turned to scale up the winding staircase but he paused as the secret door opened only for warriors to start trooping down.


    Clearly, the whole Theater of Laughter had been rmed of the intruder and all guards in the hideout where trooping towards this direction to kill him.


    Above him was now an army of dozens of Grade F superhumans, below him was another army of 17 angry Grade E Superhumans.


    Legs felt his blood boiling hotter, making him more excited as he kept on thinking of that small clue that he was missing to orchestrate his escape but he didn''t see it.


    This time, he was really out of options.


    Legs looked at the enemies trooping towards him silently, he was about to go desperate and call his beasts before his virtual interface lit up again.

 Chapter 41 First Battle Against The Clown Society [1]

    "Being a beta yer is so nice man, Ghost Sentry has not been taken yet".


    Being among the first batch of yers who were lucky enough to receive the random beta testing token, this yer Ghost Sentry could be regarded as part of the luckiest few thousand on earth since Dominator was already trending.


    As soon as his character name and preferences were epted, the game went white for a few seconds as he was transported into the game world.


    After a few seconds, he finally arrived here, and well, he was blown away.


    One of the main selling points of thetest VR game Dominator was its realism, it was already hyped a lot but oh boy, they were right.


    It was still very early in the morning as the dark of the night receded to allow the rise of the golden sun. At this moment, Ghost Sentry was spawned in an extremely realistic forest region, he literally spotted no unreal elements.


    Everything looked and felt so real that it was unbelievable.


    Ghost Sentry waspletely left star-faced. "This is so real man".


    Ghost Sentry was not the only yer to spawn in this location. Shortly after he spawned, about a hundred other yers also spawned.


    As soon as they spawned, the first thing that they did was to of course satisfy their curiosity about observing the world around them. In no time, they were alsopletely drawn in by the fascinating and realistic world around them.


    Not all the yers came for sightseeing though.


    "Damn, they finally did it!" One of the newly spawned yers yelled, startling the others who turned in his direction only to shrink at his actions.


    The yer with the character name ''Horny Assassin'' was excited as he ignored the others and continued his exploration. "They finally did it!"


    "I can''t believe it, man, I can finally f*cking strip in these VR games!"


    "Whooo! Dominator, you da best!"


    "Why call it virtual reality when I can''t feel my little brother? Damn, the sensations are the same and even slightly more sensual, oh god I want to meet the developer who made this!"


    "Haaaa¡­, this feels nice man!"


    As this yer fondled his newly discovered pp in public, the other yers cringed for a few seconds before ignoring him and continuing with their actions.


    All the yers received the same beginner Grade F mission as some of them went at it, while others tried to continue exploring the realistic environment.


    As for Ghost Sentry, he was part of the former first as he decided to face the beginner mission. Unlike casual yers like ''Horny Assassin'', Ghost Sentry was a yer who actually wanted to make a living from ying games.


    His goal was to be a pro yer and he banked all his hopes on Dominator. When he got the beta testing token, he was all over the moon.


    During the 10 game days of the beta testing which tranted to 2 days in the real world, he intended to try his best to understand the gamepletely and secure an advantage that would give him an edge over other yers.


    That would increase his chances of attracting and getting a gaming pro club to sign him. For this, he was ready to give his best.


    "Nearest vige/prefecture, where is it? Come on!"


    Ghost Sentry soon went out searching alongside others. Not too long though, he arrived close to what seemed like a secret hideout.


    Having watched a lot of fantasy movies, Ghost Sentry reacted like in movies and hid to observe. On observation, this was when he saw a rainbow bridge that seemed to extend into the future.


    Instantly, he was excited. "Is that not the rainbow bridge that was depicted in the advert? It''s exclusive to Summoners I think, damn, is this a secret mission?"


    He looked around. "I definitely need to keep this secret".


    Ghost Sentry barely said this before a new message popped up in the global yer forum that sent other yers into a frenzy.


    >Horny Assassin- Holy Sh*t! I just triggered a Grade E mission? F*ck!<


    >Mashed Potato Lord- Where? Where? Tell!<


    >Horny Assassin- South of the forest, close to a secret hideout, I think¡­<


    >¡­<


    >¡­<


    As the global forum exclusive to yers which spawned in Darvis was sent into a frenzy at a Grade E mission appearing so early in the game, Ghost Sentry now looked at this hideout with a sense of excitement.


    "A Grade E mission can be triggered here?"


    Instantly, he got his courage as he rushed closer to the rainbow bridge. Once he made contact with it, he also triggered the mission.


    [You have triggered emergency Grade E Mission: Help the Good Summoner!]


    [Mission Details: A good Summoner has been ambushed by the bad guys, join forces with other yers, fight as a team and save the summoner.]


    [Mission Rewards: 20,000 Experience points]


    Ghost Sentry sucked in a deep breath and was about to get excited before another message popped up in the global forum chat and started trending.


    >Horny Assassin- I f*cking died! Those guys are so strong<


    Ghost Sentry paused in his steps. "Huh?"


    ¡­


    A few minutes ago¡­


    Stuck in the underground hall where dozens of psychopaths of the Clown Society intended to kill him, Legs grabbed at every opportunity that presented itself before him to escape.


    When the beta testing notification appeared, he was surprised and relieved at the same time as he sought for a means to take advantage of it.

    It took some time for him to learn the basics even as one of the game developers, but once he did, Legs did not hesitate to issue a mission to the newly spawned yers and he choosed the highest reward to draw their attention.


    Even if there was a great deal of danger associated with this sudden mission, being a yer once, Legs knew how tantalizing 20,000 Exp points was at the beginning stages of the game.


    As he expected, notifications of dozens of yers taking his mission started popping up even as he was still embroiled in a great battle with the psychopaths.


    The first yer to ept the mission arrived and did notst 2 seconds before being killed. The next came in batches of over a dozen yers, others soon followed them and in no time, the hall was filled with yers.


    Legs grinned. "This is what I''m talking about!"


    Without hesitation, he finally made his move.

    "Awoooo!" The howl of a wolf soon reverberated in the hall.


    Ak and the gang were back, yes, the full gang, including Lucky!

 Chapter 42 First Battle Against The Clown Society [2]

    A few hours ago, in the beast ne¡­


    After being sent to the beast ne for the first time by their master to explore alone, Predator was having the time of his life for the past few hours while Ak got to enjoy the sensation of returning back to his world.


    Excited and fascinated by this new world that was filled with beasts for it to hunt, Predator did not listen to reason as he ignored Ak and went hunting.


    Unable to persuade the Nightmare Beast, Ak gave up and instead gave attention to Lucky. He carried Lucky to a safe cave to hide her.


    After hiding her, Ak finally returned back to the surface. One thing that surprised this veteran Wind Wolf was the fact that despite bing a contracted beast, its connection to its wolf pack was not severed yet.


    Without hesitation, Ak returned to his previous wolf pack where he got to meet a vignt group of wolves who were hostile on seeing him return.


    The alpha Wraith Wolf moved forward and stood before Ak intimidatingly as he observed him. Having seen this subordinate of his get dragged away, the Wraith Wolf thought that it was dead already.


    The alpha Wraith Wolf soon started howling. Understanding what it was saying, Ak howled back as he formted an excuse on the spot for his survival.


    In the end, despite the many loopholes, he was epted back into the pack.


    Throughout the rest of that day, Ak hunted with the pack. It was when mid-night came that he got the chance to sneak back to the cave where he hid Lucky and he got there at the early hours of the morning.


    On getting there though, Ak was shocked, the Fox already woke up.


    While still in the process of trying tomunicate with the Fox, the familiar rainbow bridge appeared and it dragged 2 of them away.

    Lucky has evolved to be a 2-tailed Moon Fox!


    Lucky is now a Grade E beast!


    ¡­


    Click to check Lucky''s full virtual interface status


    ----


    Instantly after Legs activated his Beast ne Summoning active ability, he received a virtual interface notification. On seeing that Lucky''s long evolution finally seeded, he was relieved but he did not have the luxury to be excited.


    At this moment, he was still embroiled in a battle with the psychopaths.


    He no longer had to fight alone though as the next moment, the rainbow bridge appeared, opening the tform for his 3 beasts to appear.


    Once the rainbow bridge appeared, the psychopaths were surprised since they did not expect the intruder to be a summoner. Legs literally handicapped himself and still survived their assault for the past few minutes.


    Before the psychopaths could react, the cry of a wolf reverberated in the hall as the massive Wind Wolf, a Nightmare Beast, and a Yellow Fox appeared.


    The 3 beasts were summoned impromptu without any exnations, but from the energy fluctuations, they already understood that a battle was going on.


    Like usual, the hot-blooded Predator was the one who dived in first.


    As soon as he arrived, Predator moved his massive body, activating both his Lethal Bite and w Barrage skills. The first skill enabled him to pounce on the closest Pugilist, overpowering the superhuman and biting his head off.


    Once he killed the first Grade E psychopath, Predator pounced on the other nearest. This Pugilist tried to defend but it could not against Predator''s ws.


    Predator smacked the powerful Pugilist who was previously giving Legs problems to death, it was just too easy for the Nightmare Beast.


    The first 2 easy deaths were flukes though as the psychopaths finally recognized the danger and reorganized themselves for a proper battle.


    No matter how strong Predator was, at this moment, he was up against 16 bonafide Grade E superhumans even after killing 2 already.


    Even as Predator was the main attacking threat, Ak and Lucky were not idle either as Ak activated its Nature Call ability that caused a hurricane to erupt in the hall, giving Legs a moment to finally catch his breath.


    This time, Legs noticed another thing that put a smile to his face. Lucky finally seemed to have grown some grit as she also joined this battle.


    She may not have Predator''s explosive strength nor Ak''s battle experience, but with her luck, Lucky was a lethal threat.


    As soon as he got to catch his breath, Legs observed the battlefield. Even with his 2 contracted beasts and his pet, fighting against so many enemies would have been impossible if not for the yers.


    At this moment, attracted by the experience points that were up for grabs, the yers threw their lives away just to annoy the psychopaths.


    ? Looking at yers again after so long, Legs felt a weird feeling. He instinctively tried to look for himself and like expected, he didn''t see another him.


    Legs did not focus on this long as he returned his focus to the battle. His main priority foring all this way was still to kill the assassin.


    After fighting against the psychopaths for minutes, he already identified the assassin. With Predator killing 2 other Pugilists, only one Pugilist was left and he was the only psychopath here who had more assassin-like abilities.


    Legs already recognized long ago that this was his target.


    "Go after him!"


    Once he gave his orders, with Ak paving the way open with her wind skills and her dazzling speed, Predator rushed in with all the momentum that he could as the Pugilist instantly knew that he was the target.


    Once Ak activated her Speed Demon ability, she closed the distance rapidly, keeping the Pugilist busy till the explosive Predator finally arrived.


    With Lucky keeping the psychopath Pugilist''s luck down and with Legs assisting with his pair of automatic pistols, Predator got all he needed to make short work of this warrior.


    He isted him with his veil of darkness special ability, then with his dark arrow, his ws, and his dangerous teeth, Predator tore the Pugilist apart.

    [You have been rewarded with 100,000 Experience points]


    ----


    Instantly after Predator tore the Pugilist apart, Ak retrieved the antidote which was Legs''s priority and without hesitation, alongside his beasts, Legs started his quest of escaping this hideout.


    The frenzied psychopaths tried to stop him but they could not. With his powerful beasts, and the suicide loving yers, Legs could not be stopped.


    In just a few minutes, Legs seeded in escaping the hideout.


    Almost at the same time, the game interface notification appeared to all the dozens of yers who took on the same mission.


    [Grade E missionpleted: Help the Good Summoner!]


    [You have been rewarded with 20,000 Experience points]


    The global forum exploded.

 Chapter 43 The New Lucky

    Whoosh!


    A massive Wind Wolf darted out of the forest.


    Legs rode on top Ak as he prompted the Wind Wolf to move even faster. Today was the day that Mr. Keane was predicted to die, he had no intentions of taking any chances, he needed to deliver the antidote as fast as possible.


    Immediately after he escaped the encirclement of psychopaths, Legs did not waste any time as he rode Ak straight back to the Blue Sea prefecture.


    ording to his estimates, after themotion that was caused by the battle, most especially the yers, the local enforcement forces would be on their way and was why he rode Ak through the main road.


    Like he expected, just 5 minutester, Legs met a group of warriors moving towards the direction of the hideout.


    He stopped. "They are in that direction!"


    "Some group of crazy cultists, they almost killed me!"


    The warriors tried to stop him but trust him, Legs did not stop as while still feigning a traumatized expression on his face, he urged Ak to run even faster and in no time, the Wind Wolf disappeared with the dust.


    Helpless, the warriors had no choice but to believe the young man as they increased their speed to arrive faster at the location of themotion.


    It took Legs 8 more minutes before he finally arrived at the Keane mansion. Seeing such a massive Wolf run into the mansion, the guards were startled as the females in the mansion started screaming.


    Only one of them did not scream as Sophia''s eyes lit up on seeing Legs.


    Theymunicated through their eyes and without saying a word, Sophia started leading Legs to the room where her father slept waiting for his death.


    Seeing the young mistress escorting the young warrior, the guards refrained from using force as they simply followed them from behind.


    Once he entered the room, Legs rushed to the bed where a middle-aged man who seemed in his 50sid. Legs gently held this man on the head before bringing the antidote from his bag.


    Without hesitation, he poured the contents down the man''s throat.


    As he did all this, Sophia observed everything silently as her heart was already throbbing in her throat. After the administration, they waited.


    "Ugh¡­" About a minuteter, Mr. Keane groaned, causing Sophia to wince.


    "Will he be alright?" Sophia asked as tears rolled down her eyes.


    Legs did not reply her question as all his attention was on the space before him as he patiently waited and hoped for his virtual game interface notification.


    The next moment, the sound of running footsteps reverberated. Jackson and Mrs. Keane rushed into the room with anxious expression on their faces.


    Jackson was furious. "Sophia, what is the meaning of this? Who is¡­?"


    Amid Jackson''s rant, Legs finally got what he wanted.


    -----


    [You havepleted the hidden mission requirements of the Grade D Mission: Save Mr. Keane''s life!]


    [You have been rewarded with a Mission Completion Card]


    ----


    "Phew! As expected, there was a hidden mission requirement". Legs finally heaved a sigh of relief as he wiped his sweat.


    "Did it work?" Sophia ignored her elder brother''s rant and asked the World expectantly with dread still in her heart.


    "Yes, he''ll slowly start recovering now".


    Sophia heaved an exaggerated sigh of relief as she slumped on the bed, the eyes in which she looked at the World changed.


    ''Our gathering is really awesome,'' She thought.


    -----


    Your Favorability with The Star has increased by +50


    ----


    On hearing the sensitive word- recovering, Jackson paused including Mrs. Keane as they took a closer look at their husband and father.


    The pale deathly look on Mr. Keane''s face was no longer there, he still looked pale, but a bit of life finally seemed to return to his face.


    Jackson turned to face Legs, shocked. "Did you¡­?"


    "Yes, I got the antidote, he''ll be recovering soon".


    Jackson was even more stunned now as he turned to face his younger sister. "Did you¡­?"


    "Yes, she hired me". Legs answered on Sophia''s behalf.


    "I''m really tired as I had to stalk the enemies all through the night, I need a ce to sleep and rest". Legs said as his body was already failing him.


    "Governor Bam can take care of the rest".


    Well, he didn''t even need to say it as Mrs. Keane reacted like a woman on steroids. She ordered the maids around and in minutes, Legs was lying on a king-sizedfy bed thinking of how awesome life was.


    Legs had a lot of things in his mind most especially after the unexpected appearance of the yers and the sudden appearance of the Clown Society, but he only focused on the important ones first.


    On his special request, all 3 of his beasts were allowed inside this massive room with him and now, Legs was ready to check Lucky''s status.


    He red at the cute still little Fox. "After such a long nap, I hope it was all worth it or else¡­"


    Lucky rolled her eyes uninterestedly. "Whatever".


    Legs gritted his teeth, ignoring the urge to spank the fox and focused on his interface. The next moment, the familiar screen shimmered to life before him.

    -------


    This was when Legs finally saw it clearly. "A 2-tailed Moon Fox?!"


    Legs was surprised, he had not heard of a Star Fox before but he definitely knew what a 2-tailed Moon Fox was. His surprise soon turned into excitement as the eyes at which he looked at Lucky now seemed filled with stars.


    "The wait was f*cking worth it!"


    Having contracted a 2-tailed Moon Fox once in his previous life, Legs knew a lot about them. These extremely rare Fox could continually evolve 7 times until they be the mythical 9-tailed Fox.


    A 9-tailed Fox was a Grade A beast!


    Legs slept feeling satisfied and contented. "What an awesome gift from Lucky, love you girl".

 Chapter 44 I Guess News Finally Came

    Hidden behind a thick bush in the forest, a group of superhuman warriors secretly watched the hideout where themotion came from.


    After meeting Legs along the way, despite their suspicions, they still decided to move forward until they finally discovered the hideout.


    By the time that they arrived, all the yers were already wiped out.


    The secret hideout was silent like a graveyard. There were no activities detected in the surface, but the scouting specialists among the group of warriors already detected the secret door that was hidden from view.


    All the warriors that were in this group were weak Grade F superhumans, and from the signs of battle that they saw, this was a battle that involved Grade E superhumans. Without hesitation, they called for reinforcements.


    Almost at the same time that Governor Bam received the call for reinforcements, he also received the news of the antidote already being found.


    Motivated by the fact that the assassins who tried to kill his friend were found, Governor Bam mobilized arge part of the warriors that he had at his disposal currently as they all rushed towards the secret hideout.


    It took them a few minutes, but they finally arrived.


    Governor Bam came with the elite warriors of the Blue Sea prefecture, including his Army Commander who was a powerful Grade E Elementalist and the war strategist of the Blue Sea prefecture who was a Grade E Summoner.


    These 2 were warriors that rarely ever needed to be mobilized for battles due to their status, but this time, Governor Bam took the both of them along.


    With the 3 Grade E superhumans leading the charge, the group of warriors soon got prepared as they stormed inside the secret hideout.


    The hideout was eerily silent like it was already abandoned but it was not until they arrived at the massive hall that they discovered the truth.


    For some strange reason, the assassins did not escape yet and rather seemed to be engaging in some kind of ritual.


    This time, not just the Grade E superhumans but the Grade F superhumans were also seated around therge ultic drawing in the middle of the hall as they seemed to pray fervently to a higher existence.


    The difference this time though was that there were spaces in the ultic drawing that were not upied, their upants were already dead.


    These spaces seemed to affect the ritual significantly but they continued praying as they drained their mana to empower this ritual.


    "Almighty Clown, bestow us with your blessings!"


    "Liberate us from the limitations and ignorance of this world!"


    "Send down your fire to cleanse the world of all order!"


    "Let the worship of chaos return again!"


    Governor Bam felt goosebumps rising up his body on listening.


    As he listened to the strange incantations and prayers of these ultists, he felt a strange power rising and he dared not let this strange power grow.


    "Attack! Kill them all!"


    The group of warriors that came with him finally jumped in to fight.


    The strange thing though was that none of the ultists reacted. Even as they started being ughtered by the intruders, none of them made effort to stand up or escape as all their attention was still in the ritual.


    Before they died, they yelled. "For the Clown!"


    Till the veryst warrior, none of them made effort to escape. With tears of joy and craziness in his eyes, thest Grade E warrior also yelled. "For the Clown!"


    Governor Bam stood in a daze as he looked at the blood that he spilled; he was still confused. "Are these guys psychopaths?"


    ¡­


    [Global Announcement:]


    >Congrattions to the yers: Horny Assassin, Mashed Potato Lord, Sleepy Fiend, Ghost Sentry, Your Father, Your Step Uncle, Thanos''s Dad, Blue River¡­, forpleting the first Grade E mission<


    In the spawn point, the yers who all died to the hands of the psychopaths found themselves respawning again as they still relished on the feeling of havingpleted a Grade E mission not long after starting the beta testing.


    On spawning, the mes of joy in them were kindled by the new global announcement that popped up in their virtual interface status.


    Horny Assassin was ecstatic. "Damn, I appeared on TV!"


    Heughed like a maniac. "Hahaha¡­, Manchester f*cking united!"


    All the yers were happy forpleting the mission, but some of them did it at a high price. One of the rules of Dominator to prevent addiction to the game was limiting revival times to 6 times for one week.


    For a yer like Horny Assassin, after dying 4 times in such a short time, he only had 2 other opportunities remaining to revive for the whole week.


    He was depressed of course, but him appearing on TVpletely offset the discontent of having only 2 revive chances remaining.


    Like the other yers, Ghost Sentry was also happy with his fortune. "My path to bing a pro yer bes smoother after this, it would have been more perfect if I was the only one who got the mission andpleted it".


    He was so obsessed with getting his goal that he did not mind being selfish just to get it, he was desperate to be a pro yer.


    And it was this desperation that drove him to find opportunities. After this mission, he already recognized one opportunity.


    "The NPC that left this Grade E mission must be a high-tier NPC, probably even a special NPC that can release main storyline missions".


    "Instead of groping around, why not hug the thighs of this NPC? If I can, my path to bing a pro yer would be even more brilliantly set up".


    Once he thought of it, Ghost Sentry acted on it. He guessed that the NPC would probably be in any of the nearest viges.


    He now wanted to kill 2 birds with one stone, getting to the nearest vige to fulfill the beginner mission of locating the nearest vige while alsopleting his personal mission of locating the mysterious NPC.


    The only problem was that Ghost Sentry was not the only one who thought of this solution. For different reasons, 2 other yers also thought of this n.


    Blue River moved fast through the forest. "I must get to meet this special NPC before everyone else, meeting him will help our Blue Mist Guild a lot".


    ¡­


    After a long satisfying sleep, Legs finally woke up in the evening.


    This time, he did not just wake up to see his petszing around, there was someone else in the room with him, a human.


    Akid down beside the window where he looked outside at the wide expanse ofnd, Predator was fast asleep and snoring loudly, while Luckyzily licked her paws while lying on top of the window pane.


    Apart from the pets, Sophia was the intruder as this beautifuldy was now standing beside the wardrobe arranging a set of new clothes neatly inside it.


    On noticing him wake up, she jumped. "Ah! You''re awake?"


    "Yes". Legs rubbed his nose as he tried hard not to sneak nces.


    "Pleasee to the living room, food is already prepared".


    Legs did not reject; his stomach was already grumbling. "Ok".


    After eating to his fill in therge dining room, Legs smiled at the Keane family who hosted him politely. Throughout the past few minutes, they kept on expressing their gratitude to him for saving their father and husband.


    Before leaving, he asked a question. "Is there any trending news?"


    "News about what?" Sophia asked, puzzled.


    "The Clown Society".


    Instantly after Legs spoke, one of the servants of the Keane household came running into the dining room while panicking.


    Legs turned to look at the servant. "I guess news finally came".

 Chapter 45 Terrorist Attacks

    The news came like a bombshell.


    It could be summarized into 3 simple phrases.


    "The Clown Society came¡­"


    "The Clown Society saw¡­"


    "The Clown Society conquered¡­"


    The whole Keane household was petrified after hearing the news.


    Apparently, a secret organization called the Clown Society whose member plotted the death of their father and husband had taken their time organizing in the dark for a decade like this to announce their emergence.


    After decades of careful nning by the Clown, the Clown Society was able to nt their roots across every corner of Darvis.


    And today, all the secret roots were finally activated.


    Across all corners of the, hidden bases of the Clown Society were activated and they all targeted the leaders of the various shelters.


    By using the special Element Bomb that was personally created by the Clown, the psychopaths were able to push their target locations into a great panic, leaving the leaders of these locations as vulnerable as possible in the process.


    In their most vulnerable state, they finally attacked.


    Approximately 40 leaders of various shelters like Governor Bam were reported to have died to the great-wide terrorist attack.


    This great terrorist act sent ripples of shock across the, drawing a lot of attention in the process. The terrorists did not hide their identity, as they killed, they revealed their identity and also their motive to the world.


    "We are the Clown Society".


    "Sent to liberate this world of the order that is destroying it".


    "From today, we say no to the order of leaders, Governors, and politics. We shall no longer be oppressed by the whims of someone who calls himself a leader".


    "From today, we dere death to all leaders!"


    "From today, we dere violence on the world!"


    "From today, we wee chaos back!"


    "All hail chaos!"


    This seemed to be their anthem as across the, this anthem reigned wherever the Clown Society struck and was sessful.


    In just a day, this secret organization that was previously unknown to the whole world was able to send the whole world into a great panic.


    Humans already had the beasts of the apocalypse to worry about and was why they were holed up in their shelters. With the emergence of the Clown Society, fear rose to a new peak unlike before across Darvis.


    The Blue Scale Prefecture was among the few locations where the Clown Society attack was unsessful. When the citizens heard that the psychopaths originally intended to attack here also, they were petrified in fear.


    Governor Bam became busy as he gave a lot of effort to pacifying the citizens while also employing measures to bolster the defense of the prefecture.


    The Keane household was no different. Once they heard the news, in their panic, Mrs. Keane did not hesitate to bolster the defense of their mansion also.


    In the end, it was Legs who pacified them.


    After pacifying them, Legs intended to finally leave the Keane household having fulfilled his motive foring here but they insisted that he stayed for at least a few days till the panic of the Clown Society subsided.


    Legs originally wanted to politely reject them but on being urged by Sophia, he softened and decided to stay a bit.


    After here, he really didn''t have anywhere going and needed some nning before he decided on his next course of action.


    3 dayster, after working hard to pacify the panicking citizens, Governor Bam finally became free enough to visit his friend who was recovering.


    On the same day that Governor Bam visited, Mr. Keane''s eldest son, Richard Keane who was in the military also returned home.


    Richard was part of a regiment that belonged to the Pugilist Academy.


    Though most of the family was furious at him, most especially his younger brother Jackson, they all suppressed their grievances and weed him home.


    After seeing his recovering father with the Governor, both finally returned to the dining room where a feast was already served.


    Richard paid special attention to the strange face. "Who''s the neer?"


    From his authoritative tone, it was clear already that apart from Mr. Keane, he was the most authoritative in the household. Once he asked, Sophia answered.


    "He''s my friend".


    "Friend?" Richard raised his eyebrows in surprise but reserved hisment.


    Despite his authoritative tone, Richard seemed like a nice guy as he refrained from prying into Legs''s privacy, he instead tried to befriend him and Legs reciprocated with a smile and polite replies.


    "I can see that you''re a Grade E Summoner, impressive".


    "Thanks".


    "I heard you are the one who foiled the ns of the so-called Clown Society, you should be properly rewarded".


    Legs smiled politely. "The Governor did most of the work".


    "Hahaha, how can you say that Legs?" Governor Bam''s loud voice reverberated. "You''re clearly the hero here, take all the credit brother".


    "You saved my close friend and my prefecture; I''m forever indebted to you. If you ever need anything, just say it and I will do my best to help".


    "Thank you, Governor".


    For the next few minutes as they ate, they engaged in idle chatter as Richard properly established himself as a humble and polite personality to Legs.


    After the dinner, Legs finally made his intention to leave known.


    This time, they could not stop him as he already spent 3 days here. Richard and the Governor expressed their gratitude onest time before letting him leave.


    Sophia escorted Legs outside where he got to remind her. "Don''t forget tomorrow, the gathering starts at 5pm".


    "Yes, I won''t forget, I can''t forget the Hermit''s favor".


    "He saved my father''s life by sending you, I am forever grateful for this".


    Legs smiled at her politely before finally turning to leave.


    As he left, a lot of things lingered in his mind. In the past 3 days, as the terrorist attacks continued, apart from trying to dig more information about the Clown Society, he also tried to meet the yers.


    The strange thing though was that the yers seemed to avoid the Blue Scale prefecture, wanting to meet them influenced his decision to leave now.


    The Clown Society, Darvis, and even the game world of Dominator as a whole did not matter to him as much as his curiosity to know the secret behind his reincarnation.


    Though he already knew that he needed more strength to get the deeper secrets, he still felt that he would discover much by meeting a yer.


    Having sent his beasts to the beast ne already, Legs casually walked through the Blue Scale prefecture. After a few minutes of walking, he paused and cleaned his eyes as he spotted something familiar upfront.


    He spotted a chatterbox.


    "HOLY SH*T! This stupid ne costs 100,000 Darvis Credits?"


    This blonde-haired young man ced his hands on his hips exaggeratedly as he red at the merchant. "You want to scam me? Why not go rob a bank then?"


    "It''s not that young man¡­"


    As the merchant tried to cate him, the young man left arrogantly as he looked at other jewelry stalls in therge market. A few secondster, his eyes lit up as he saw a beautiful golden wristwatch reflecting the shine of the sun.


    "Wee young customer, that is a special maic gold wristwatch".


    "It would only cost young customer 500,000 Darvis credits".


    "¡­"


    The young man blinked, stunned. "The heck!"


    He pointed at a more luxurious wristwatch. "What of that?"


    "It goes for only 1 million¡­"


    "F*ck me sideways¡­! Manchester f*cking united!"


    He soon sneaked away out of the market with tears and rage in his eyes. "What an expensive jewelry market".


    A distance away, Legs watched this young man with sparkling eyes because of the special pop-up that hovered above his head, indicating that this blonde-haired young man was not an NPC but a yer.


    [yer- Horny Assassin!]


    "Huh?" Legs paused on seeing the name.

 Chapter 46 Meeting The Eccentric Horny Assassin

    Deep inside a volcano at the eastern borders of Darvis, the Hellfire Mountains¡­


    When looked at from outside, this volcano was a normal one but inside it was something entirely different, it was the hideout of a secret organization.


    This was the main base of the Clown Society.


    Inside this active volcano was a hive of activity. As the main base of the organization of psychopaths, there was a bunch of them gathered here as they did different activities, mostly transporting the Element Bombs.


    This was where the notorious Clown personally created the Element Bombs.


    As a fire affinity high-grade Elementalist, Clown had a great affinity with the massive Hellfire Mountains. This was his home and where he got his ambition to liberate the world of order and herald the age of chaos again.


    He already got to the stage where he could train his fire Elementalist abilities through the heat and fire of this active volcano.


    After nning for over a decade, 3 days ago, his liberation n finally gained momentum as the Clown Society took the whole by storm.


    After 3 days, they already more or less hit the most prosperous shelters and locations in the world, now the reports of the attacks starteding in.


    Of the 100 locations that were targeted, less than 80 were sessful.


    Even with his decade-long nning, such a sess rate was already impressive, Clown was satisfied with what his organization was able to achieve.


    Next was analyzing the 20 odd locations that managed to withstand their momentum. Even with his already impressive sess rate, the Clown was greedy, he wanted to get a 100% sess rate.


    Of these 20 odd locations where his psychopaths were unable to overrun, only one of them was not guarded by an official regiment from any of the main academies, the Blue Scale prefecture.


    On seeing this name, the Clown''s eyes narrowed as he had a shback.


    "Hmm, a warrior wise enough to evade my energy check".


    "Interesting¡­, who is he?"


    After going through all 20 odd locations, Clown gave new orders to the psychopaths that were ready to change the world with him.


    "Go to these new locations and strike again, this times 3 times harder".


    "Also, find out the main reason for our first failure¡­", his eyes narrowed. "Especially in the Blue Scale prefecture".


    "Yes, Clown".


    On hearing his name called, the Clown widened his teeth. He was fighting against order, his organization had no order, there was no hierarchy, no leader, the hierarchy was natural ording to the power of the warriors.


    His fellow psychopaths recognized him as their forerunner because of his strength. If a stronger warrior came, he would be their forerunner.


    This made things chaotic but at the same time natural.


    Heughed maniacally. "Hahaha¡­, hehehe¡­, chaos¡­"


    ¡­


    "Horny Assassin?!"


    Legs felt goosebumps on seeing this name.


    As a yer once himself, he knew how entric yers could be. His yer character name in his previous life was pretty ridiculous also, but even with all his experience, this yer''s name was a first to Legs.


    Just thinking of the cursed idea that gave birth to the imagination to give himself this name sent chills down his spine.


    "Huh?"


    Horny Assassin paused as he felt the feeling of someone staring at him. His eyes narrowed, he was too used to this feeling, this was what he felt when the perverts started staring at his real life muscr and fit body.


    Experienced, he behaved like he didn''t know what was happening and a few minutester, he turned around abruptly and pointed his hands at Legs.


    "Hey pervert! I see you!"


    "¡­" Legs looked around.


    "Yes, you, don''t look back¡­" Mid-speech, Horny Assassin paused as he just noticed that this guy was not a yer, he was a freaking NPC.


    "Huh? They made a pervert NPC? Nice, these guys are really amazing!"


    Without giving a damn about the NPC''s reaction, Horny Assassin went closer and walked around him, observing him curiously. After observing to his fill, this was when he finally remembered to check this NPC''s interface status.


    [NPC Character: Legs Baron]


    Level: ???


    Grade: ???


    Main ss: Summoner


    Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous!


    ¡­


    Horny Assassin paused at this point. His movements now rigid and animated, he finally raised his head to look at this NPC who was also looking at him curiously.


    "Hehe¡­, hi".


    "What is your name?" Legs asked with an amused expression on his face.


    Though they haven''t even spoken to each other, from the little that he observed, Legs already understood the personality of this yer that was before him. He was definitely a headache but was also perfect for his intentions.


    On noticing that the NPC had no intentions of killing him, the blonde-haired yer heaved a sigh of relief and replied awkwardly.


    "Um¡­, Horny Assassin?"


    "¡­"


    ''Sh*t, this guy is the braindead type''. Legs was speechless.


    If it was any intelligent yer, on seeing a non-hostile high-grade NPC, he/she would have been enthusiastically probing for a hidden mission already.


    For this guy though, he guessed he needed to be more proactive.


    He adjusted his expression to look more NPC-like. "My luck seemed to have regressed a lot in recent weeks, nothing seems to be working, I would really wish to have a helper who would assist me now".


    "Huh?" Horny Assassin scratched his head. "Are you foolish? There are helpers all over the market, you can''t possibly mean to have not seen them right?"


    "¡­" Legs died.


    Speechless, he took it a step further. "I have a mission¡­"


    He barely finished before Horny Assassin''s brain finally clicked as his eyes shone. "A mission? A high-grade NPC¡­, hidden missions¡­, damn, how did I miss the clue for so long?"


    "Your Highness NPC, your lowly servant is at your service".


    "¡­"


    The number of times that Legs was left speechless could not be counted again. By now, he no longer attributedmon sense with this yer.


    He ignored him and essed his NPC function interface, the next moment, he created a Grade F mission.


    Horny Assassin''s eyes shone as his interface lit up.


    [You have received a Grade F Mission: Follow me]


    "Yes!" He was ecstatic but he soon paused.


    "Huh? Follow me? Is that a mission?" He scratched his head.

 Chapter 47 New Grade D Mission- Assassination Attempt!

    The sun cast a red shadow over the Blue Scale prefecture as it finally started receding into the clouds, bringing an end to a busy day.


    Since the advent of the Clown Society 3 days ago, despite the fact that the Blue Scale prefecture was among the lucky few that survived the terrorist attacks, the prefecture was still forced into a state of unrest.


    Governor Bam tried his best to bolster the defenses of the prefecture, which after some time finally started restoring the confidence of the citizens.


    On this cool evening, a set of strangers arrived inside the prefecture.


    Once they arrived, their leader who was d in blue designated them into different teams. The Element Bomb instation team was sent into various corners of the prefecture to set the prepared Element Bombs.


    As for the others, they went into the town in search of information. Just 15 minutester, they all returned to their leader having got what they wanted.


    "Blue Master, we found the warrior who evaded the Lord''s energy check".


    "Praises of him are being sung around the town, he is rumored to have yed a huge role in spoiling the divine mandate of the Lord''s loyal psychopaths".


    The leader who was d in blue attire finally turned to face his subordinates. "Did you get his current location?"


    "Yes, he is rumored to be staying in the merchant, Mr. Keane''s mansion".


    "Good!" The burly leader in blue nodded. "Send my orders to the other teams, once the bombs are ready, they should be immediately triggered".


    "As for the rest of you, follow me".


    The leader''s eyes sparkled coldly. "Let the Keane household be the first victim of the Clown Revolution in the Blue Scale Prefecture".


    ¡­


    [You have received a Grade F Mission: Get me bread and a te of beans]


    [Mission Reward: 200 Experience Points]


    "Yes!" Horny Assassin pumped his fists in the air.


    "I love this NPC so much man, his missions are the weirdest that I''ve seen in any game but oh boy, how much I love them".


    "I''ming master, wait for me!" Without waiting for a reply from Legs, Horny Assassin picked up speed as he sprinted away to go get the food.


    On seeing the yer dash away like a rat hunting for food, Legs smiled and shook his head before cing his hand to his chin in deep thought.


    Once the beta testing started, his curiosity to meet yers hit a peak. He hoped that they would perhaps give him more clues to satisfy his curiosity on the mystery behind his reincarnation, but so far, he didn''t have any meaningful results.


    For the past few hours since he met the entric yer, Horny Assassin, he kept on interacting with him to try getting clues but he failed.


    And for some reason, despite him asking, there seemed to be a restriction preventing yers from revealing their identity as game yers in this world.


    "Is this to make the game more realistic or is this part of the maniptions of the so-called God of Games? I''m so curious to know now".


    He still had a lot of unanswered questions on his reincarnation and the game.


    Having tried and still not getting any clues to his reincarnation, Legs gave up but he still kept Horny Assassin as he did other experiments on this yer.


    For him to reincarnate into this world and to still meet yers, fate must have something in store for them and he wanted to discover it now.


    Through giving constant silly missions, he was able to know a lot more about his NPC functions. It made things a lot easier for him since he could issue missions and make the yers be his grunt workers.


    He had a daily limit for number of missions and mission rewards, there were other features but for some reason, he felt that he was still missing something.


    He refused to believe that his NPC functions was just for him to give missions.


    "Master, here". Horny Assassin returned and gave him the food enthusiastically, prompting a smile on Legs''s face.


    [You havepleted Grade F Mission!]


    [You have been rewarded with 200 Experience Points]


    "Hehe, nice business". Horny Assassin was ecstatic.


    Without hesitation, he saved the notification before posting it in the global forum, causing another stir. Other yers felt indignant that he was the first yer to meet this special NPC.


    "Hahaha, losers". Heughed at all the whining yers.


    As Horny Assassin did all this, Legs ate his food while also observing the global forum. Till now, he still could notmunicate in the yer forum, he was satisfied with just spying on their conversations though.


    He already discovered that getting to spy on them could be useful at times.


    As Horny Assassin continued causing mayhem in the global forum, an idea suddenly hit Legs and being idle, he decided to do it.


    -----


    You have created a Grade F Mission: Clean my feet


    Mission Reward: 5000 Experience Points and amon grade Dagger.


    Mission eptance Requirement: 200 Experience Points


    ----


    Horny Assassin did not just buy food for the NPC, he bought for himself and as he ate, his interface lit up again as the shock made him spit his food away.


    He did not give a damn about this as he stared with wide starry eyes. "5000 Experience Points reward?!"


    "Hahaha, I f*cking hit the jackpot!"


    "Manchester f*cking united!"


    "Damn, take it! Take it!"


    -----


    Mission -Clean my feet- has been epted


    You have received 200 Experience Points


    ----


    Legs''s eyes widened as wide as saucers. "This works too?!"


    Instantly, his imaginative brain went to work as it sted with all boosters on. This discovery already sent in motion hundreds of ns in his head that could make his journey to the top as a Summoner much smoother.


    Before Legs could fully settle down and think about any of them though, his virtual interface lit up again, this time in red, it was an emergency mission.


    -----


    [You have triggered Grade D Mission: Assassination Attempt!]


    [Mission Details: You have been targeted by the Clown Society after the role yed in stopping their ns. Survive the assassination attempt.]


    [Mission Reward: ???]


    ----


    "An assassination attempt?!"


    Legs barely asked before a loud sound interrupted him.


    BOOM!

 Chapter 48 A Great Battle

    The Keane household was as peaceful as usual as Mr. Keane recovered.


    Even as the prefecture also recovered from the effects of the terrorist attacks, Governor Bam did not let his guard down as he kept his friend''s mansion heavily guarded to prevent against any further assassination attempts.


    Despite all their efforts though, the psychopaths of the Clown Society under the leadership of the Blue Master easily infiltrated the massive mansion.


    In their hiding, they waited for the signal to attack.


    BOOM!


    The sound was like exploding dominoes as the Element Bombs were finally triggered, resulting in an explosion thatpletely rocked this small town.


    As the whole town was rocked, resulting in great chaos and disorder, the psychopaths finally got their signal as they rushed inside the mansion.


    The terrorist attacks of the Clown Society were characteristic for their one-dimensional approach. The psychopaths never engaged in mass murder, what they aimed for was chaos, once they created chaos, they left.


    This time though, it was different, they had another motive to eliminate the warrior who spoiled their Lord''s n and was why they rushed into the mansion.


    The Keane household was caught off-guard. The Element Bomb explosion rattled the guards protecting the mansion, before theypletely recovered, the group of crazy psychopaths were already on them.


    Both sides soon came to blows as energy of the 3 different main sses soon started shing in a great disy of superhuman strength.


    Like the Clown, the Blue Master was a Fire affinity Elementalist.


    At this moment, this superhuman warrior''s eyes already turned into a zing fire as he controlled the fire to deal with the guards that fought against him.


    By using the fire as a shield, and also as an attacking weapon to heat and scorch them, this powerful Grade E Blue Master led the psychopaths in.


    And by triggering mini explosions with his fire control, he was able to set even more disorder in the mansion that prevented the guards from recovering their calm and mounting a proper offensive against them.


    In mere minutes, the defense of the Keane household crumbled.


    A few secondster though, the Blue Master discovered, their target was nowhere to be found, he already left the mansion.


    The Blue Master reacted instantly. "Trigger phase 2 n!"

    Boom! Boom!


    More Element Bombs were triggered as blood flowed.


    The phase 2 n was against the normal code of the Clown Society. To find Legs by all means, the psychopaths did not shy from using their bombs to kill and cause more chaos to find him.


    The Blue Master believed that their target was still in the prefecture. The psychopaths under him divided into teams as they searched for the target.


    ¡­


    [You have received a Grade E Mission: Help Legs!]


    [Mission Details: The Blue Scale Prefecture is suffering a terrorist attack and Legs is in danger. Help him fight the terrorists by all means and protect the vulnerable citizens of the Blue Scale Prefecture.]


    [Mission Reward: 10,000 Experience Points!]


    Horny Assassin sucked in a deep breath. "Manchester¡­, f*cking¡­, united!"


    "Another f*cking Grade E Mission, damn!"


    Almost at the same time that he yelled this, another yer who was nearby heard his voice and turned as their eyes shed. Like him, this yer who was also in the vicinity was able to ept the mission.


    Having looked around for this NPC for the past 3 days without any meaningful results, this yer was shocked to finally meet him now.


    Horny Assassin stared at this yer, surprised.


    [yer- Ghost Sentry!]


    "Huh? I think I met this guy once".


    Ghost Sentry did not answer Horny Assassin. Without saying a word, this yer grabbed his sword before sprinting in the direction that the special NPC, Legs Baron already sprinted towards.


    This was when it clicked in Horny Assassin''s head. "F*ck! The mission!"


    He also sprinted in pursuit.


    After giving the mission, Legs dared not stay in one ce as he sprinted away from his location. Having known the Clown Society in his previous life, he should have expected this, the Clown was an unforgiving viin.


    His priority at the moment was making sure that the Keane household was not wiped out due to his actions, most especially, he needed to save Sophia.


    As he ran, he channeled his Summoner energy and did the deed.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Predator, Lucky, and Ak arrived from the beast ne with a bang!


    Almost instantly after they appeared, Legs jumped and mounted Ak as he gave orders to Lucky and Predator.


    "Both of you, go to the Keane mansion, protect them!"


    "This is your first important solo mission without me, don''t disappoint me!"


    Lucky wanted to whine but seeing the aftereffects of the Element Bomb explosion, and Legs''s serious facial expression, she calmed her tendencies.


    As for Predator, he was enthusiastic to fight and impress his master.


    "Roar!" Both beasts soon disappeared in the busy town as the citizens scrambled around while screaming to get to safety.


    As for Legs, he had another destination, Governor Bam''s military base.


    ¡­


    The whole Keane household was already subdued.


    With most of the guards already dead to the powerful psychopaths, the recovering Mr. Keane and his family shivered before the determined psychopaths.


    "Blue Master, the 3rd team just reported to have seen the target".


    "Where?!" The already agitated Blue Master asked.


    "They said he regrouped with the Governor of the prefecture and that together, they are already locked tight in battle against the 3rd team".


    "Take me there¡­!"


    The Blue Master barely finished before the massive gate of the Keane household was smashed open by a menacing ck beast that seemed toe straight out of hell, a massive Nightmare Beast!


    "Roar!"


    Predator announced his presence with a mighty roar and charged forward.


    With his sheer strength, darkness and basic abilities, Predator powered through all the psychopaths that tried to block his path as a trail of blood was soon left in his wake, Predator went berserk against the psychopaths!


    The Blue Master''s fire was lethal, but not so effective anymore when faced against a beast with a hide as tough and tenacious as Predators.


    As Predator did the charging from the front, Lucky remained in the back and ran the show with her luck powers and newly discovered moon and wind powers.


    She acted more as the support, cleverly supporting Predator as the Nightmare Beast''s luck in the battle increased to ridiculous levels.


    Every probability-affected oue tipped towards Predator''s favor. This enabled the massive Nightmare Beast to constantly smash the psychopaths.


    While Predator held them back, Lucky went up towards Sophia.


    "Stand up, we have to escape!"


    Though she already saw Lucky speak once, Sophia was still shocked. Despite her shock though, on remembering the current pathetic state of her family, Sophia steeled her mind as she assured her family that the 2 beasts were on their side.


    With the psychopaths upied by Predator with luck working in his favor, Lucky escorted the Keane family as they started escaping from the mansion.


    The Blue Master was furious but he was helpless.


    He was reluctant to leave though, thoroughly angered now, this Elementalist led the other psychopaths to box the powerful Nightmare Beast in as he was now determined to kill this beast.


    Predator was perhaps foolish, but what mattered was that he remained fearless despite this challenge as he roared defiantly back at them.


    If the battle continued like this, Predator would die but Legs already had everything calcted. 2 minutester, the army of the Blue Scale prefecture arrived with an angry Governor Bam leading the charge.


    Alongside the Governor at the front was Legs riding Ak.


    With the Keane household saved, the objective changed to eradicating every one of the psychopaths and saving the Blue Scale prefecture.


    Governor Bam roared angrily. "Kill them!"


    A great battle started.

 Chapter 49 Hehe, I Want Summoner Knowledge

    Horny Assassin and Ghost Sentry gave their all to save the helpless citizens who were running around like headless chickens without direction.


    When in a state of panic, humans were prone to making stupid decisions and this time was no different, both yers were employed by Legs for this exact scenario as they did their job and protected the citizens.


    Though they were still gradeless supers, with their little weapons, they were still stronger than normal humans as they strived to protect the citizens.


    What helped them though was the army of the Blue Scale Prefecture.


    Under the leadership of Governor Bam and Legs, the army hammered hard at the psychopaths. The powerful Pugilist and Summoner leading the charge was such a visually impacting effect that both yers could not resist.


    They switched on their recording function to capture this incredible moment.


    Governor Bam with his massive hammer was like the God of war. His Pugilist energy sted on all cylinders as he hammered the psychopaths to death.


    As for Legs, he was much more charismatic in his battle approach. He dealt death to the psychopaths from on top his Wind Wolf which made it even more iconic and unforgettable, he seemed like an unstoppable knight.


    The constant powerful wind attacks from Ak sent psychopaths dying while also sending the 2 yers into a wild state of excitement and dread.


    As the army did the main job of fighting the terrorists, they also did their job and protected the citizens while escorting them to safety.


    Ghost Sentry was extra zealous in the job. "Avoid the locations with fire!"


    "Escape this way, this is the safest way to escape!"


    As he yelled at the top of his voice, the excited Horny Assassin assisted him from behind as they directed the citizens to safety.


    At this moment, Horny Assassin felt like the superman saving hapless citizens. "This feels so good man".


    "Hahaha, Manchester f*cking united!"


    After a great battle thatsted only a few minutes, most of the psychopaths died with the remaining escaping. Governor Bam and Legs did not go in pursuit though as they turned and rushed towards the direction of Mr. Keane''s mansion.


    This was where the spectacle ended for Ghost Sentry and Horny Assassin as the main battle took ce offscreen, they focused on saving the citizens.


    A few minutester, their virtual interface status lit up.


    [You havepleted Grade E Mission: Help Legs!]


    [You have been rewarded with 10,000 Experience Points!]


    Horny Assassin Laughed. "Haha, f*ck you haters!"


    While this yer expressed his joy, Ghost Sentry was calmer as he saved the interface notification before uploading it on the global forum.


    Instantly, the global forum was sent into a frenzy again.


    Ghost Sentry finally smiled; he was already advertising himself.


    ¡­


    Blood stained the Keane mansion inrge quantities¡­


    After a great battle where the Blue Scale prefecture army was the superior force throughout, they emerged victorious as arge number of the psychopaths that were dispatched here were killed.


    Only 3 psychopaths escaped with their leader who was called the Blue Master. The Blue Master escaped in a pool of blood after losing an arm.


    The army of the Blue Scale Prefecture fought a great battle and won.


    After the recent notoriety of this evil organization called the Clown Society, despite the number of citizens that died to the terrorist attack, morale in the Blue Scale prefecture soared to a new high as the oue of the battle meant a lot.


    With this victory, Governor Bam was able to prove that the Blue Scale prefecture was not weak and vulnerable before the notorious terrorists.


    Even if it was just an illusion, that belief alone rejuvenated and restored the confidence of the citizens as a great celebration started all across the prefecture.


    Under Governor Bam''smand, after the terrorists were eradicated, the soldiers of the prefecture went to work again to begin recovery processes.


    The Element Bombs dealt a lot of damage to the prefecture, rescue missions were posted as the soldiers worked to rescue every stranded civilian after the attack. The rescue missions blended with the recovery processes.


    As all these happened, Mr. Keane''s family finally returned. Lucky remained diligent as after escaping with them once, she finally returned with them.


    On their return, the celebration hit a new high.


    Mr. Keane was not stingy, he splurged money as a greater version of the celebration started in his mansion. Having survived not once but twice against an assassination attempt from the notorious psychopaths, he felt lucky.


    This time though, Legs was the star of the show. After the performance from his 2 beasts, his efforts were even more recognized this time.


    Predator, Ak, and Lucky were fed till satisfaction.


    As all these happened, Legs''s virtual interface finally lit up with the notification that he had been expecting.

    ----


    On being rewarded with a faction buff, Legs was surprised. Faction buffs were rare rewards that could be given by the interface for missions, and like their names, they were useful to exclusive factions.


    Faction buffs could be in strength buff formats, speed buffs, any type of buff so long as he was going up against the Clown Society in battle again.


    "Damn, how did I get this? I thought my luck was down recently".


    Legs paused as he looked at Lucky, instinctively, a bright smile lit up his face as he rubbed the Moon Fox''s fur affectionately. "Good Foxy".


    Lucky tsked in disdain. "Say thank you if you want, stop being a d*ck".


    "¡­" Legs stared speechlessly.


    Among the notifications, Legs also paid attention to the favorability. For some reason, his favorability with Richard, the first son of the Keane household did not increase, he was curious but he did not pay attention to it.


    After his interface notification, caught in the moment, Legs drank with the others, forgetting that he was still just a 15-year-old kid and was a Summoner who weren''t famous for their constitution, he got drunk.


    After he was drunk, Governor Bam finally stood up.


    "Today, it was Legs who saved us".


    "Without you, perhaps, the Blue Scale prefecture would have been part of the different victims of this evil organization, we would be f*cked then".


    Everyoneughed at this as the Governor continued.


    "For your contributions, on behalf of the Blue Scale prefecture, thank you".


    "We will forever remember you as a savior of our prefecture".


    "To disy my sincerity to you, I am willing to fulfill any request that you have, just name it and if I can, I will try my best to fulfill it".


    "Also, it is clear that you are a master when ites to dealing with the psychopaths of this notorious organization".


    "I will shamelessly ask you for pointers this time, master, please advise me".


    "Hahaha". Everyoneughed.


    Surprisingly, Legs was not as reserved as before. Drunk already, he spoke. "Hehehe, Governor Bam, you are a Governor and you know that, haha".


    "My advice is to always stay on guard, the psychopaths hate leaders".


    "As for what I want, is that even a question?"


    "Hehe, I want Summoner knowledge!"

 Chapter 50 Prince Christensens Predicament

    The Hellfire Mountains¡­


    After over an hour of escaping, the Blue Master of the Clown Society who just failed his mission returned to the main base of the Clown Society.


    He came to report to the board of leaders that were above him.


    Unlike most other organizations, the Clown Society had no strict leadership setting, they simply had an authority ranking that was determined by the strength of the superhuman warriors that were in the Society.


    The ranking ranged from psychopaths who were the normal warriors of this organization, to the Elite Psychopaths, to the Blue Masters, the Red Masters, the ck Masters, and finally the Golden Masters.


    The strength requirements to be a Blue Master was the Grade E realm, for Red Masters it was the Grade D realm, as for ck Masters it was the peak Grade D realm and notable achievements in the organization.


    Thest rank of Golden Masters at the moment only had one superhuman warrior, Clown himself. Despite having majority of the authority for himself now, Clown voluntarily left the rank open to be upied by other masters.


    The requirement to climb to the Golden Master level was to be a Grade C- superhuman warrior, Clown was still 1 of the only 3 Grade C- warriors of this organization and the strongest, hence his privilege as the most authoritative warrior.


    Once the Blue Master returned to the main base, having been sent personally on the mission by Clown, he received unrestricted ess.


    A few minutester, he arrived before the deeper parts of the massive volcano where Clown sat cross-legged absorbing the energy of the magma.


    "Forgive me Golden Master¡­" He knelt and bowed his head.


    "I failed you".


    Once the Blue Master entered his chambers, Clown already guessed what happened but he still sighed on hearing him say it, then heughed.


    "Hahahaha¡­, hehehehe¡­, hohoho¡­"


    "Interesting, f*cking interesting, haha".


    Throughout hisugh, the Blue Master had his head down and when Clown finally stoppedughing, he asked. "What are your orders?"


    Clownughed again before replying. "Lie low".


    "Legs, right? He''s not worth our attention for now, leave him be¡­"


    ¡­


    For the 2nd time, the Clown Society''s attack on the Blue Scale Prefecture failed. This was unprecedented since 3 days ago after the Clown Revolution started.


    This incredible featpletely sent the panic in the prefecture to exile.


    The confidence of the civilians in the prefecture increased to a high unlike had been experienced before in their history. And at the center of all this was Governor Bam, who in turn attributed all the glory to Legs.


    Every other location that was targeted across Darvis didn''t enjoy a fate as sweet as that which was currently being experienced by the Blue Scale Prefecture, and among those that suffered was the Gwen Shelter.


    After surviving unscathed for the past 3 days because they were not targeted yet, the Gwen Shelter''s run of form finally crumbled as the notorious psychopaths of the Clown Society finally set their eyes on them.


    Gwen Shelter was one of the more fortified shelters since all 3 of the Elementalist Academy, Summoner Academy, and Pugilist Academy had bases here but it all didn''t matter much since they still suffered the same fate as the majority.


    Gwen Shelter was swept away like a cluster of dust.


    Even with all their powerful armies, their champions that seemed toe on a constant basis and promising talents, Gwen Shelter did not survive unscathed.


    They put up a good fight, but the Clown Society just could not be outdone.


    Like they did in most of their victim shelters, once the Gwen Shelter finally sumbed to their intensity, they opened their defense and the psychopaths ruthlessly took advantage of them to start abducting warriors.


    The Clown Society seemed to want to rapidly expand their army. Over a hundred promising students in the shelter were kidnapped.


    Clown''s ideology was creating chaos. He didn''t believe in creating chaos by just violence and disrupting the previous order, he believed in doing more.


    By taking away the youths, the backbone of the society was gone, thereby giving rise to more unrest and chaos among those that remained.


    Among the students that were kidnapped was Quinn Baron.


    Blood, tears, and wails were left in their wake as they finally left.


    ¡­


    The same day that the Blue Scale Prefecture survived a 2nd attack and that the Gwen Shelter finally sumbed, another prominent location suffered.


    Having stood their ground against them already for hours, the massive army of the Palm Ind royal family also sumbed to the pressure of the psychopaths.


    For organized locations like this, the psychopaths put in more effort.


    Despite the fact that the whole ind was under the rule of a powerful Grade D Pugilist, it still sumbed. The psychopath''s first and main target was the monarch of the ind, the King of the Palm Ind.


    Once King Timothy died, the Palm Ind became vulnerable.


    With the death of the King, chaos descended over the pce and the royal family, chaos descended over the ind, and the psychopaths capitalized on it.


    The psychopaths invaded the ind inrge numbers and started kidnapping the youths like they did in all their other victim locations.


    As the royal family struggled against the shock of the current events, that was when thete King''s 2 daughters dropped the bombshell, both of them secretly spoke with the psychopaths and sold their ind to the Clown Society.


    They didn''t sell the ind for free, in exchange, they both became the new monarchs of the Palm Ind and they also became the first known members of the Clown Society that was taking the by storm.


    Everything that happened was like a dream to Prince Christensen. Losing both of his parents on the same day rattled him, now with his sister''s betrayal, he felt like a frog in a well whose only fate was dying.


    His life was threatened by his sisters but the loyal Butler, Mr. Damien organized a team of guards to rescue the Prince.


    Christensen escaped the ind sessfully from the tentacles of his sisters but not for long after all his guards died. Once they all died, the Clown Society grabbed him and added him to the group of youths that were kidnapped.


    Together, they were taken to the nearest base of the Clown Society.


    Prince Christensen''s carefree and spoiled life turned dark and gloomy in an instant, losing all its color.

    ----


    Legs may have demanded for it after getting drunk but to his surprise, not only did Governor Bam agree to it, he went out of the way to get what he wanted.


    The whole Blue Scale Prefecture had only 1 Intermediate Summoner ss knowledge and it was not the Shepherd knowledge.


    Just to please him despite his ridiculous demands that were fueled by being drunk, Governor Bam went out of his way and made a deal with a nearby prefecture who were in possession of the Shepherd Summoner knowledge.


    After having dealt with Legs 2 times already, Governor Bam was positive that keeping a good rtionship with him would benefit the prefecture in the long run and was why he did so much just to keep their rtionship positive.


    Instantly after cing his hands on the well-packaged Summoner knowledge an hour after he demanded for it, Legs''s virtual interface lit up with this and his eyes that were intoxicated regained their rity instantly.


    "Holy sh*t! Getting drunk is so OP!"


    Legs never expected everything to go so smoothly even though he understood Governor Bam''s motive, he was impressed by his conviction.


    Well, this show of goodwill made him open more towards them. For the rest parts of the great celebration in the Keane household, Legs was more active as he got himself drunk again until the news came.


    The Clown Society struck and seeded again in 2 locations that were rted to him, the Gwen Shelter and the Palm Ind.


    For the 2nd time, the intoxication disappeared from Legs''s eyes.


    On inquiry, he got the full details about the Palm Ind. On knowing that Prince Christensen was kidnapped, his eyes narrowed as this was not in line with the events of his previous life.


    "Is this a ripple effect of my actions in this world?"


    His arrival in this world was definitely an anomaly, he expected there to be some changes in the storyline but he didn''t expect them so fast.


    Legs already had a lot of worries and ideas in his head, but he put them all at the back of his mind as he finally located Sophia again.


    By now, it was already deep into the night.


    "Are you about to leave?" Sophia asked with a bright smile. Having gotten herself drunk also; her cheeks were as pink as a tomato fruit.


    Looking at her gorgeous self now, Legs was left speechless as he was drawn in by her otherworldly beauty.


    "Do girls like her get more alluring when drunk?" He thought.


    Before Legs could finish thinking, the next moment, Sophia made an action that made him pause in petrification.


    "Don''t go!" Sophia jumped at him and enveloped him in a tight hug.


    At this moment, despite his decades of experience, Legs was unsure of what to do as he remained motionless. His meticulous and quick thinking seemed to desert him at this moment as he stood petrified.


    "Umm¡­"


    "Don''t go!" She yelled and hugged him tighter.


    In the end, they just stood there in an awkward stance hugging till Legs finally came back to his senses. He forced a smile and patted her head slightly before gently separating from the embrace.


    Sophia tried to resist but Legs finally back in his right mind countered her with a simple sentence. "I have a message from the Hermit".


    On hearing that sensitive name, Sophia''s intoxication disappeared. "Huh¡­? The Hermit? What did his Excellency say?"


    "Remember the gathering tomorrow".


    "Also, don''t forget to practice your newly acquired powers as an Elementalist, you need it more than ever before now".


    "Yes, I will". Sophia bowed respectfully like she was epting the verdict of an Emperor that was being delivered by his envoy.


    When Sophia raised her head again, Legs was gone.


    "He left¡­?"


    ¡­


    That night, Legs returned to the inn that he already hired.


    On getting there, he saw his 2 diligent workers who recently impressed him, Horny Assassin and Ghost Sentry still awake waiting for him.


    Originally, on meeting yers, Legs''s original intention was to probe them to try getting information about his reincarnation through them.


    But after meeting disappointment, due to the coincidence of the Clown Society''s 2nd attack, he employed the 2 yers by giving them another mission and their performance surprised and gave him new ideas on how to use them.


    Perhaps he was lucky to be chosen as a reincarnation candidate, but his luck did not extend to him reincarnating as a Prince or the King of a prosperous kingdom, instead he reincarnated as a warrior who was hated and without talent.


    Because of the circumstances of his reincarnation, though he was able to still strive due to his incredible experience, he still had a lot of shorings.


    He had no single warrior who was his follower.


    Now, he had a thought. He already recognized that these 2 yers took him as a hidden NPC, he could take advantage of that since he knew how yers adored hidden NPCs having been a yer himself once.


    And unlike others, yers were like mercenaries. Give me a mission, I fulfill it, and I get my reward, this was their code of conduct.


    yers hardly ever had trust problems since rewards were involved and was why Legs decided to make both yers his sidekick.


    Another advantage that they had was that they were undying, Legs was hyped at the thought of getting their loyalty to be his followers.


    He even contemted adding them to the gathering of the grey mist.


    All this brought him to his present situation. After hearing of Prince Christensen''s situation, he saw it as an opportunity rather than a tragedy, he could finally make this Prince his follower if he could save him.


    He turned to the 2 yers. "I have a mission for the both of you".


    Ghost Sentry was able to hold himself back from expressing his excitement on hearing this, but the Horny Assassin failed miserably at it.


    This clown of a yer jumped excitedly. "Manchester f*cking united!"

 Chapter 52 Creating A Faction

    With a serious face, Legs addressed them. "I have a mission for the both of you".


    "Horny Assassin, Ghost Fe¡­"


    "Ghost Sentry sir". Ghost Sentry bowed and politely corrected.


    Legs continued. "I am a benevolent being, I began observing the both of you since you came in my moment of need to rescue me from my plight".


    "When against the Clown Society, I called for help and you both responded. For that, I am grateful and was why I agreed to take the both of you in".


    Both yers rubbed their heads, clearly, they were ttered by his words and like expected, Horny Assassin''s reaction was even more ridiculous as heughed and revealed his white teeth.


    Legs ignored the interruption and continued. "Once again, I was in a moment of need and sought for help from the both of you and you responded".


    "It was due to your help that the citizens of the Blue Scale Prefecture were able to escape sessfully from the center of the attack".


    "All these missions were deliberately made by me; it was a test of trust".


    "Well, congrattions, the both of you passed".


    "By passing, you met the requirements to make it into my team. Like you will soon know, the Clown Society is a powerful force that seeks to destroy this world by destroying the current order that keeps it stable".


    "The Clown Society is our greatest enemy, join my quest to eradicate them".


    At the same time that Legs spoke, he essed his NPC interface status.


    -----


    You have created a Grade E Mission: Rescuing a Prince

    Faction Invitation: Legs Baron


    By joining Legs''s faction, you gain ess to his weapons, ss knowledge, and other valuables that he is willing to part with for faction points.

    Instantly after he created the mission, it appeared to both yers.

    [Mission Details: Join Legs''s rising faction to fight the Clown Society.]


    [Mission Reward: ???]


    [Do you want to ept Main Storyline Mission?]


    Horny Assassin and Ghost Sentry''s jaws dropped.


    They both screamed in their minds. ''Holy sh*t, we really hit the jackpot, we actually met an NPC that could trigger main storyline missions''.


    "Am I dreaming, if I am, don''t wake me up". Horny Assassin like expected was the first to voice his astonishment at the notification before him.


    "Huh?" Legs was surprised at his reaction since he could not see the new mission that was triggered in their yer interface status.


    "Is anything the problem?" He asked.


    Both yers did not respond with words, they responded with their actions. They kneeled down and kowtowed before him. "Master, we pledge to follow you".


    "¡­" Legs was even more surprised, he looked at them speechlessly.


    Well, he did not expect this but it still did the job so he was satisfied.


    Once they epted the mission, another pop-up notification appeared in Legs''s interface status and he made the required settings.


    -----

    Current members: 3/10

    [Shop: 3 Basic Summoner knowledge, 1 Basic Elementalist knowledge, and an umon grade weapon]


    ----


    With Aaron''s help, the injured Grade A Elementalist that was stuck in the grey world, Legs had ess to all the Elementalist knowledge that he needed.


    He put only 1 there first to entice them and see their reactions.


    Like he expected, on seeing the newly created faction, Horny Assassin and Ghost Sentry reacted like kids who were just taken to the supermarket for the first time. The only thing was that they needed currencies to get anything.


    Faction points and experience points were the only way to get anything in the faction shop. Faction points could be gained bypleting missions for him.


    This was the only way that Legs could think of to retain the 2 yer''s loyalty, through benefit and he was right, they werepletely bought in.


    Originally, Ghost Sentry aspired to be a pro yer ying as a Pugilist. But having seen Legs in action, his conviction wavered and now that the opportunity was presented before him, he decided to be a Summoner.


    While Ghost Sentry took the Summoner basic knowledge, Ghost Assassin instead took the Elementalist basic knowledge.


    "I''ve always wanted to be an Elementalist".


    "Conjuring fire like Merlin, manipting the elements like the Avatar¡­"


    "Hahaha, I f*cking run this game!"


    "Manchester f*cking united!"


    Once they got the ss knowledge, with Legs''s help, both yers did not encounter any troubles as they smoothly became Grade F superhuman yers.


    After that, Legs retired to sleep.


    Both yers did not sleep immediately though, Ghost Sentry and Horny Assassin soon got busy as they got set to flood the yer global forum with oppressive screenshots that would ignite a virtual war.


    >Ghost Sentry- [Screenshot][Screenshot]<


    >Horny Assassin- [Screenshot]<


    >Horny Assassin- [Screenshot]<


    >Horny Assassin- Caption- You can''t dull my sparkle, forever Legs''s sidekick [cool face emoji] <


    Ghost Sentry''s was calmer, but Horny Assassin''s messages really ignited a war.


    >King Fisherman- Holy Fuckity sh*t! My eye dey pain me abi?<


    >Mashed Potato Lord- F*ck! A Main Storyline Mission? That''s impossible, I can bet all my fortune on it that it''s edited work!<


    >Sus Lord- Your name alone sounds sus man, Mashed Potato Lord, I bet you don''t even have any fortune to bet so just forget it and quit boasting<


    >Sus Lord- But seriously, if this is true, it''s incredible man. This is still just the beta testing but someone already triggered a main storyline mission, is this not a spoiler? This game is reallying out with new elements<


    >¡­<


    >¡­<


    >¡­<


    Amid the flood of messages mostly focused on denial, astonishment, and disbelief that kept on being sent till it waste in the night, one of the messages finally caught Ghost Sentry''s attention.


    >Blue River- I am the guild leader of the Blue Brook Guild. @Horny Assassin @Ghost Sentry. If any of you are online, please dm me<


    Horny Assassin was shocked. "Blue River?"


    Without hesitation, he dmed this well-known yer.

 Chapter 53 Meeting The New Player, Blue River

    >Ghost Sentry- Good morning sir¡­ [delete]<


    >Ghost Sentry- I have heard a lot about you sir¡­ [delete]<


    The virtual interface status hovered before Ghost Sentry as he stared at the dm in a daze. Coming into Dominator, he had a lot of expectations and was why he worked so hard to be a pro yer.


    Despite his efforts though, he already resigned himself to be patient and continue grinding for a long time, he never expected to be so lucky.


    In his opinion, meeting an NPC like Legs was the epitome of luck.


    Through Legs''s missions, he was able to attract the attention of a top guild already without even trying so hard and when it was still just the beta testing.


    The Blue Brook Guild was the game representative guild of the famous American professional game club, Blue Autumn. Alongside other 2 Chinese game clubs, they were widely recognized as the best game clubs internationally.


    As the guild leader of a guild representing such a huge game club, Blue River''s online status could only be imagined. For a yer of such caliber to contact him directly, Ghost Sentry was so ttered that he started sweating bullets.


    He went to the dm but could not organize a message. He kept on fidgeting and trying to be formal with his message which only failed miserably as he kept on deleting the messages before he could write how many words.


    In his dilemma, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.


    Blue River was typing!


    >Blue River- Good morning, my name is Blue River<


    >Ghost Sentry- Good morning, my name is Ghost Sentry, nice to meet you<


    >Blue River- I''ve been observing you since the beta testing started, and I must confess, you must be an incredibly skilled and lucky yer<


    >Blue River- I showed you to my boss and they were impressed with your skills<


    Ghost Sentry''s heart skipped a beat as he waited in anticipation.


    >Blue River- On behalf of the Blue Autumn club, I officially invite you to work as a high-ranking official of the Blue Autumn game club with an option of being promoted to be a pro yer added to your contract use<


    The first parts of the message sent Ghost Sentry to Cloud 9, the middle parts sent him back to earth, but thest parts raised his spirits back to Cloud 7.


    Once he thought deep into it, he found it reasonable. Before bing a pro yer for any club, his skills first needed to be tested.


    He was optimistic. By joining the guild as an official, the opportunity was already presented before him, all that he needed to do was to prove himself and impress them.


    >Blue River- If you need time, I can give you some time to think about it but¡­<


    >Ghost Sentry- I ept your invitation<


    >Ghost Sentry- I have always admired the Blue Autumn club all my life, I know all the star yers, and it has been a dream of mine to help its cause. I am so happy to be a part of your project, I am¡­<


    Bluer River ignored the bulk of the message and sent the virtual contract.


    Ghost Sentry signed it instantly, and in no time, the Blue Brook Guild weed a new high-ranking official into their ranks.


    After the contract signing, before Ghost Sentry slept that night, he and Blue River chatted on different topics tillte night in the game.


    ¡­


    The next morning, Horny Assassin woke up shocked, waking up Legs. "Blue River f*cking chatted me, I knew it, I''m famous!"


    Legs woke up annoyed but was instead surprised by not seeing Ghost Sentry in the room. Before he could ask for him, the yer returned. Ghost Sentry didn''t return alone, he returned with another yer apanying him.


    "Faction leader, meet my friend, Blue River".


    "Master, it is nice to meet you". Blue River being a professional used some basic NPC ttery catchphrases to try leaving a good first impression on Legs.


    Horny Assassin''s jaw dropped on seeing this famous yer, he looked back and forth between Blue River and Ghost Sentry. "H-how¡­?"


    Legs raised his brows on seeing this new yer as he thought. ''Is this not that Blue River? Wow, he''s even trying to lick my boots in this new world, damn''


    ''Being an NPC is so nice man''


    As a yer himself, he also knew Blue River and the famous Blue Autumn game guild. At some point in his life, he also aspired to be a pro yer and his dream was to y for this giant gaming club from America.


    Though the 2 yers tried not to make it too obvious, he already knew why Blue River was here and Legs simply yed along to save time.


    "Wonderful, Ghost Sentry, did you bring me a new helper?"


    "Yes, faction leader".


    That was what Legs needed, he did the thing and sent an invite.


    -----


    A new yer has epted your faction invitation: Blue River


    ¡­


    Faction: Legs''s Faction


    Member capacity: 10


    Current members: 4/10


    You have ced 5 items in the faction shop


    [Shop: 3 Basic Summoner knowledge, 1 Basic Elementalist knowledge, and an umon grade weapon]


    ----


    As soon as he essed the faction page, Blue River''s eyes lit up. Instantly, he bought a copy of all 5 items that were avable on the faction shop.


    Legs did not give a mission, but rather, he simply ordered Horny Assassin this time to go out and get food for all 4 of them.


    After eating, Legs gave them orders to not leave the inn and to not disturb him till he was back as he went back to his room where he locked himself in.


    Today was the day of the grey world gathering, it was supposed to be 5 pm, but he made today a special exception due to his need to go save Prince Christensen. He already notified the members through the Hermit identity.


    Since it was remaining only 3 days for the beta testing, he needed to act fast.


    Legs sat cross-legged in his room and gently tapped the grey apple tattoo, the next moment, everything faded into ck and his consciousness disappeared.

 Chapter 54 [Bonus Chapter]The Common Enemy

    On returning to the grey world after such a long time, Legs saw the Elementalist spirit already standing before him as he weed him respectfully.


    "Wee, Legs".


    "Nice to meet you too Aaron".


    Legs looked and walked around the grey world, observing for any changes. "How is the grey world in my absence?"


    "Nothing really changed, everything is still the same".


    "The only constant change is the growth, we already confirmed that the mist of the grey world lightens and enables us more ess as you grow stronger".


    "I believe that when you be a Grade D Summoner, we''ll have even more ess to the powers of the grey world".


    "By then, I''ll know if my conjectures are true. From what I''ve observed, we haven''t even essed 1% of the capabilities of the grey world yet".


    Legs was surprised as he turned to face Aaron. "That''s a bold estimate, are you so sure that the grey world is so powerful?"


    "Yes, I''m 99% positive". Aaron nodded confidently. "I didn''t put it at 100% only because I still don''t have concrete evidence to prove this fact".


    "Don''t worry though, with my mana, you''ll keep on growing fast and as you grow, I''ll slowly unveil more of the mysteries about the grey world".


    As they walked, Aaron rubbed his fiery beard. "By the way, how much longer do you think it will take before you be a Grade D superhuman?"


    Legs turned to face Aaron and give him a deep meaningful look.


    The old Elementalist coughed. "Ahem, I know it sounds ridiculous but having been with you for so long, I''ve already learned to normalize the ridiculous".


    "With you, nothing is impossible".


    "I don''t know how you do it, but if its pure talent, then without a doubt, you''re the most talented superhuman warrior that I''ve met in all my life".


    "Serving a genius like you and watching you rise is an honor for me".


    Legs smiled. "I''m ttered". Then he rubbed his smooth baby face. "I''m close already, but I think Predator is even closer".


    "No matter how hard I try, my beasts are simply more talented than I am lol. Anyways, it''s a good thing, once he levels up, all of us levels up also".


    "Nice, I''ll try to give him a boost to stimte his growth".


    "Ok, that''s forter. As for now, set the ce, the gathering wouldmence in 30 minutes".


    "Yes". Aaron soon went to work.


    On his consent, Aaron was able to manipte the powers of the grey world and in no time, the round table and the 12 chairs of the gathering were arranged.


    30 minutester, Legs sat on the throne of the Hermit after creating his doppelganger before finally pulling the 2 members of the gathering in.


    Bzzz! Bzzz!


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit". The Star''s vibrant but cheerful voice reverberated,pleting the ritual of the first member to speak again.


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit". The Emperor bowed respectfully and also greeted.


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit". The World also greeted.


    Instantly after the Emperor greeted, Legs noticed something new about him. The glow surrounding the Emperor intensified.


    Every member of the grey world gathering glowed when inside the grey world in Legs''s perception, and through constant observation, he already confirmed that this glow was in correspondence to their superhuman strength.


    When the Star was just summoned, she had no glow since she was a normal human then. With time, she developed to now have a little dim glow.


    The Emperor''s glow was brighter, but today, the glow intensified. Instantly, Legs knew what happened and he spoke with the Hermit identity.


    The Hermit''s deep voicemented calmly. "Congrattions to the Emperor, you became a Grade D superhuman".


    On hearing this, the Star was shocked as she felt goosebumps. "Our gathering already has a Grade D superhuman?!"


    "Oh my gosh! I never knew the Emperor was so powerful!"


    The Emperor''s reaction was different from the Star''s. The Hermit knowing this instantly after he arrived confirmed some of his conjectures before now, the Hermit was without doubt a really powerful and unfathomable figure.


    "I was only able to achieve this due to your grace and benevolence". The Emperor finally replied.


    The Hermit simply nodded calmly without saying another word.


    Then, it finally came to the Star''s turn. She stood up unhurriedly and turned to face the Hermit before bowing. "Your Excellency the Hermit, I want to specifically thank you again for saving my father''s life".


    "Thank you for sending the World".


    "ording to my father, even a Grade C- expert was involved but you still managed to prevail, I will never forget this act of goodwill".


    Once he heard the sensitive term ''Grade C-'', the Emperor''s eyes narrowed. For the World to seed when against such an expert, he must have received help from the Hermit, his respect for this unfathomable figure grew even more.


    ''If the Hermit is injured but can still go evenly against a Grade C- expert, then at his peak state, what Grade has he achieved?'' The Emperor shuddered thinking of this as his respect for this existence turned into reverence and fear.


    The Hermit smiled secretly in his throne as he took in all the fluctuations surrounding the Emperor''s glow which revealed his emotions bare to him.


    The next moment, he spoke. "Let the gathering begin!"


    With that, the first phase of the gathering began. The Star was the star of the show this time as she gave detailed information about the nobles and the Darvis Royal family, including the aftereffects of the emergence of the Clown Society.


    The Emperor also revealed detailed exclusive information about the desert, while the World simply gave some basic information about the different shelters.


    All in all, the onemon point between all 3 members of the grey world gathering was their continued emphasis on the Clown Society.


    By now, they finally understood why the Hermit asked them to look out for the Clown Society. The Hermit knew about them even before their emergence.


    After the first phase, the 2nd phase of the gathering started where the Star remained the star of the show. As a new Elementalist, to grow, she needed a lot of materials and she had the money avable to splurge on them from her savings.


    The World was the one who attended to her the most. With Aaron behind him, he literally had every single thing that the Star needed to grow as an elementalist.


    After the transaction session was over, the Hermit finally took over again. "Tell me about the missions that I assigned during thest gathering".


    The Emperor spoke first. "About the first mission, I think we all already know about the emergence of the Clown Society".


    "They caused a lot of troubles for my tribe, killed a lot of my brothers, and took a lot of our children, they are already sworn enemies with us".


    "The main tribe already started rallying all the tribes to resist them in the desert, but our sess rate is not high".


    "As for the 2nd mission, I already discovered 2 ces in the desert where there was a sudden influx of citizens. The tribes are holding most of them hostage and are still trying to get their origins".


    "That is all that I know".


    After the Emperor, the Star spoke. "From what I know, the royal family is already organizing an elite team to hunt down the psychopaths to their headquarters. Once they find their headquarters, they''ll annihte them".


    "As for the 2nd mission, I discovered 5 ces in 4 different shelters already where there was a sudden influx of citizens".


    "Most rumors say that they''re wild dwellers who were forced to escape from the wild due to the notoriety of the Clown Society".


    After the World gave his own ount, the Hermit spoke again.


    "I gave 2 missions during thest gathering, the mission is still valid, get maps and mark each location where there is an influx of citizens".


    "I need aprehensive map for them all".


    "For this gathering, I will be dering the mandate of this gathering".


    "Our mandate is to grow as one to the peak of this world as superhumans and be gods. My wish is for every member of this gathering to be a powerhouse of his own right".


    "From today, I want everyone of you to begin training hard".


    Darvis is about to turn really turbulent soon".


    "And remember, for now, the Clown Society is ourmon enemy".


    "The gathering would be adjourned now".

 Chapter 55 The Swordmaster Hideout

    As soon as the grey world gathering came to an end after 2 hours, on returning to the real world, Legs called the 3 yers together andid his n out before them.


    "Ok, here''s the n".


    Legs sat beside his 3 yer helpers as heid the n out for them. "The first part of our n is finding out the base that the prince was taken to".


    "After finding out the enemy base that he was taken to, we''ll make up an infiltration n on the spot to rescue the prince".


    "Got it?"


    "Yes, faction leader!" All 3 yers replied loudly.


    Even though they did not understand half of what he just said, just to fulfill all righteousness, they still replied loudly with zeal and conviction.


    With that, Legs finally stood up and led them out of the inn.


    Though he spoke to them about the n, he also did it just to go with the flow, he really didn''t need their help to find out where Prince Christensen was taken to. Once they were ready, he called his beasts.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    "Awooo!" Ak announced his presence first as he led the others out.


    Lucky and Predator soon arrived also through the rainbow bridge. Lucky was as haughty as usual, while Predator wagged its tongue in anticipation of battle.


    Legs ignored Lucky and gently patted Predator''s head. "Good boy".


    Lucky simply looked at the 2 and tsked in disdain.


    "Predator, be a good boy and carry my 3panions".


    "As for Lucky, find a way to keep up with us".


    The 3 yers were stunned, they now had the opportunity to mount a beast. Though Predator was unwilling, it still lowered itself for the 3 yers to mount.


    An excited Horny Assassin was already recording the proceedings.


    Once the 3 yers mounted Predator, Legs mounted Ak and without even waiting for his pet beast, he kicked Ak and the Wind Wolf sprinted away.


    Predator roared before following in pursuit.


    To Legs''s disappointment though, Lucky after spending a few days in the beast ne already learned to harness her wind powers. By harnessing the power of the wind, she effortlessly kept up with the other 2 beasts.


    After spending a long time in the Blue Sea prefecture, Legs''s destination this time was the Blue Scale Shelter where he met the prince some time ago.


    To get information about Christensen, he decided to start from there.


    ¡­


    2 hourster, due to Ak''s speed, Legs arrived at the Blue Scale Shelter.


    Without waiting for Predator who was stillgging behind, Legs simply left simple search missions for the 3 yers before entering the shelter with his beast.


    "Have you heard of Prince Christensen?"


    "Oh, the Summoner Prince? I heard he was kidnapped by the psychopaths".


    After asking around for some time, Legs finally got what he wanted. One of the locals in the shelter was able to give him more information about the prince.


    He followed the local''s directions and soon arrived at a wine shop where after paying some money, he was able to get even more detailed information about the prince.


    They didn''t know the base of the Clown Society, but ording to the information vendor, Prince Christensen was taken eastwards towards the Blue Sea and the Mikaryat mountains.


    Instantly after he got this 2 vital information, Legs got what he wanted.


    Having yed the full version 1 as a yer in his previous life, and with the Clown Society being the main storyline enemy, he knew a lot about them.


    Legs remembered that there were 2 Clown Society bases located close to the Blue Sea. One was built under the sea itself, while the other was inside a cave deep inside the Mikaryat mountains.


    After doing a small math of addition and subtraction, Legs concluded that there was a 70% chance that the prince was taken to the 2nd base in the mountains.


    Legsmunicated telepathically with his beast and in no time, Predator was before him with the 3 yers following.


    "We found our target, now is the time to infiltrate".


    "Follow me".


    "Yes, faction leader".


    ¡­


    From the Blue Scale Shelter to the Mikaryat mountains was not far, Legs and his faction members spent only 10 minutes before they arrived.


    Once they arrived at the rough Mikaryat mountains, with Legs''s expert knowledge, they only needed another 7 minutes before they located the secret base of the Clown Society.


    From here on, to avoid attracting attention, Legs decided to send his beasts back to the beast ne until he needed their help.


    Before sending them though, he did something that was already long due.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: God of the Herd!


    ----


    Legs ced his hands on Ak''s head and activated the ability. "From today, I bestow the ability to be the leader of my herd to you!"


    Instantly, Ak experienced changes, both physical and mental.


    -----


    Congrattions! You have bestowed your herd with a leader!


    Ak has received the following bonuses as the leader of the herd


    [Bonuses:]


    >+40 Strength, +50 Dexterity, +20 Vitality, +50 Intelligence, +20 Charm<


    >You have gained +500 Health Points<


    >You have unlocked passive ability: Leading Aura<


    Calcting¡­, since Ak already has this passive ability, an ability merge has been attempted, please wait¡­


    >You have unlocked passive ability: Intermediate Leading Aura<


    >Intermediate Leading Aura: +20% overall stat boost to 8 wolves in the pack<


    ----


    Ak grew much stronger in such a short while.


    Once the changes were over, Legs turned to face Lucky with a serious look on his face. "I want Ak to have some wolves in the pack before I call you guys for help, and I admit defeat, I can''t do this without you".


    "Ak needs your luck aura to speed things up".


    "Lucky, please help him secure some wolves".


    "Finally, you''re asking politely". Lucky raised her head arrogantly. "Fine, I''ll help you, don''t worry yourself".


    Legs smiled and patted her thankfully then he turned to face Predator. "Big boy, Ak needs you to subdue some wolves".


    "Roar!" Predator roared enthusiastically.


    Without wasting time, Legs activated his Beast ne Summoning ability again before sending all 3 beasts back to the beast ne.


    With this done, he finally turned to face his 3 faction members. "Let''s go in".


    "Yes, faction leader".


    Evading the psychopaths that were guarding the entrance to the cave proved hard, but with Legs''s expertise, they were able to ovee this little huddle.


    Legs simply applied some basic tricks to fool the guards before sneaking in with his 3panions. The cave was a type that went downwards underground the deeper in you went.


    After going deep enough, all 4 of them finally appeared before the underground hideout, they were now standing before a long corridor.


    "The Swordmaster hideout!"


    On seeing the corridor, Legs''s memory clicked as he finally remembered everything about this famous underground hideout.


    The swordmaster hideout was arge underground bunker with several rooms for living and storage. It had one main passage to the surface and several venttion shafts to keep the psychopaths upying it living.


    The hideout had reserves for food, smoke, and weapons, as well as a water system. It was a rare independent hideout of the Clown Society.


    The most important info about the hideout was its leader, the Swordmaster.


    The Swordmaster was a Grade D Pugilist!

 Chapter 56 Infiltrating The Enemy Base

    Legs knowing that this was the Swordmaster hideout meant 2 things.


    First was that his quest to rescue Prince Christensen just became 10 times harder. While the 2nd was that, he knew more about this hideout than others.


    Legs turned to face his faction members. "This hideout is divided into 4 levels, the upper floor where we are now is mostly filled with guards".


    "Thest 2 floors are of no concern to us since they mostly serve as warehouses for food and weapons, the 2nd floor will be our main focus".


    "The 2nd floor is where prisoners are kept until they are indoctrinated".


    "The Clown Society is a vicious organization who are trying to change the world. They don''t just kidnap people; they try to brainwash the people to abandon their original beliefs and change their belief system to be a psychopath".


    "I believe that they''re already in the process of brainwashing them".


    "We need to be fast if we are to rescue a still sane Prince Christensen".


    All 3 yers nodded vigorously to show that they understood.


    "What is our job faction leader? We''ll do our best to fulfill it and rescue the prince!" Horny Assassin was the first to dere his loyalty loudly, prompting Legs to smack him on the head.


    "Shhhh! Lower your voice, we''re in enemy territory already".


    "Oh, my bad, we''re in enemy territory¡­" Horny Assassin repeated as he rubbed the part of his head that was just smacked.


    "What weapons do you have?" Legs asked the trio.


    Blue River brought out a short silver sword while Horny Assassin brought out themon grade dagger that he won from Legs through a mission.


    Legs instinctively ignored the dagger and focused on the sword.


    -----


    [Equipment: Basic Alloy Sword]


    [Quality: Common]


    >Attack: 38-46


    >Defense: 10


    >Durability: 120/120


    [Remark: Amon sword with no special abilities.]


    ----


    Legs saw exactly what he expected of the sword, then he turned to face Ghost Sentry. "You don''t have any weapon?"


    "No, not yet".


    "Ok, for this mission, I will temporarily rent my weapons to you 3".


    As he spoke, Legs brought out a pair of automatic pistols, a long alloy spear, and a pair of metal boxing gloves. All 3 weapons were of themon grade and more or less had simr stats to Blue River''s mission.


    -----


    Alert! 3 items have been ced for rent in the faction shop!


    [Shop: G-96 Automatic Pistols, Basic Alloy Spear, Basic Metal Boxing Gloves!]


    [Rentage Price: 1000 Experience Points.]


    ----


    All 3 yers'' eyes widened at the rentage price. 1000 Experience points was a lot for new yers like them, but having been spoiled by Legs for the past few days, they didn''t think too much into it and paid.


    Ghost Sentry took the alloy spear, Horny Assassin took the pair of metal boxing gloves, while Blue River attracted by it dished his sword and took the pistols.


    Legs smiled. Even in this moment, his eyes were still sharp and eager to make additional profit and what best way than from milking his faction members.


    Once they were equipped, Legs finally led them in.


    "Follow my lead, do not make a sound, and stay close".


    "Also, Blue River, do not make use of your pistols until I give the signal".


    Blue River was disappointed but he still nodded. "Yes, faction leader".


    With that, they infiltrated deeper into the first floor of the swordmaster hideout. To go down to the 2nd floor, they needed to pass through a staircase in the cave that was heavily guarded by psychopaths.


    They went through the corridor before arriving at an open expanse in the cave that was upied by guards.


    Legs ordered them to wait until 2 guards came their way.


    With his martial artist passive ability active, Legs was too much for these 2 psychopaths as he stealthily knocked them out without a sound.


    He wore one of their uniforms and disguised as a guard, Ghost Sentry wore the other, then they waited. On noticing that the 2 guards didn''t return despite some time already, 2 more guards came to check up on them.


    Legs pounced on them again and knocked them out.


    With this, all 4 of them were disguised as psychopaths. They followed Legs''s lead as they carefreely walked into the expanse where there were dozens of enemies walking around.


    Seeing the red icon above everyone of the guards that surrounded them, the 3 yers felt goosebumps creeping down their skin.


    Horny Assassin shivered slightly from the thrill even as he video recorded.


    In their disguise, they were not caught until they went into the tiny corridor that led into the staircase that led down to the 2nd floor of the hideout.


    "Hey, what are you guys doing here?"


    "No one is allowed here!"


    Horny Assassin was startled but his instincts took over. "Oh¡­, really? Here...? What''s here? What are we even doing here?"


    "Which team are you from?" The leader of the guards asked in a fierce tone.


    Horny Assassin continued without a care of the world. "Oh, my team? Did you watch the recent Manchester united match?"


    "Oh, f*cking Christ, Ronaldo finally scored! Can you believe it?"


    The guards were startled as they looked on in confusion, they had no freaking idea what this stupid guard was bbering on about.


    In their confusion, Legs already secretly closed the soundproof door that led into the corridor. Once he closed it, he gave the signal.


    Blue River got the signal as he aimed and instantly pulled the trigger. The automatic pistol roared as bullets flew out of its muzzle like horizontally drizzling rain, but the sound could not escape due to the soundproof door.


    "Ahhh¡­., enemies!"


    More than 5 psychopaths died to the automatic pistol''s attack, but before the others could escape, Ghost Sentry and Legs already surrounded them.


    In less than a minute, they killed all the guards.


    Horny Assassin was left standing, stunned. "What just happened?


    Legs ignored him. "Follow me!"


    "Yes, faction leader".


    With all the guards disposed, they easily climbed the stairs down to the 2nd floor. As he did all this, Legs heaved a sigh of relief as a thought came to him. ''I''m d the Mechanic ss is not in Darvis man''.


    Mechanics and technology were the bane of infiltration missions like this.


    On arriving at the 2nd floor, they instantly noticed the lesser number of guards that were here.


    There were lesser guards, and they were busier since they were tasked with watching different prisons where brainwashing sessions took ce.


    Disguised as guards already, they easily blended in and waited for their time while passively searching for the prison where Prince Christensen was held.


    They finally found the prince after some minutes, and the surprising fact was that Legs found someone else here, Quinn Baron.


    At this moment, 3 men cloth in white where in the prison room working on the prisoners. The prisoners were tied to beds and restrained, while objects were used to pry their eyes open by the men in white.


    With their eyes open, they were exposed to bright rainbow-colored light that kept on moving at high velocities. By now, all the prisoners were already muddle-headed from this brainwashing technique that was being used on them.


    The men in white were in the brainwashing session already.


    "You have no name".


    "You are all psychopaths of the Clown Society".


    "You answer only to the Clown".


    "Your mission is to fight for a world where there is no order¡­"


    As the session continued, the time for a guard shift finally came. Legs and his faction members were up, they already knocked out the original shift guards.


    Once they changed the shift and they entered the prison room, Legs took one of the pistols and went closer before pointing it at the 3 men in white at a blind spot that the guards outside could not see into the transparent prison room.


    "Do not move, behave naturally".


    "Do everything that I say".


    "If you disobey, you die".


    "If you scream, a bullet would go through your skull and you would be dead in seconds, I promise".


    The 3 men in white froze.

 Chapter 57 Creating A Smoke Bomb

    The 3 men in white froze which in itself was already an abnormal reaction.


    Legs reacted instantly as he used his free left hand to bring out amon-grade dagger before giving them slight cuts through which blood gathered.


    The pain stimted them as they finally looked at him in horror.


    "Behave naturally". Legs stressed again.


    Unlike the psychopaths who were already brainwashed by the ridiculous ideologies of the great chatan, the Clown, the doctors in white who were tasked to brainwash the new recruits were not psychopaths.


    Against a normal psychopath, Legs would never dare try using intimidation tactics since those freaks were happy to die for their cause.


    The same could not be said for the doctors and was why he did this.


    One of the doctors finally spoke, this one seemed to be the leader. "This is a 4-level underground hideout, the leader is a Grade D superhuman, do you think you can escape after doing something like this?"


    Legs smirked. "I don''t give a damn about my life, but do you?"


    The doctor was finally intimidated. "What do you want?"


    Legs smiled. "I want that guy on the left with blonde hair. Inject him the tonic to clear his brain of the brainwashing symptoms and to regain consciousness".


    The doctor gave Legs a deep look then he turned to his assistants. "Do it".


    One of the other 2 doctors turned around and walked as naturally as possible to where the blonde-haired prince was. The doctor removed the clips keeping Christensen''s eyes opened as his blood-shot eyes finally closed.


    He turned and gave Legs a look and swallowed before bringing out the injection. He carefully held Christensen''s wrist before injecting it in.


    "Careful". Legs reminded. "If anything happens, you''re dead".


    "Nothing will happen!" The leader of the doctors growled, making Legs to send a warning smile his direction.


    About 2 minutester, Prince Christensen coughed as his eyes opened again groggily. Legs made a signal which only Blue River understood as he came and pointed the other gun at the doctors, taking Legs''s ce.


    Free now, Legs walked towards the 3rd doctor who injected Prince Christensen. There, he was finally able to look into the prince''s eyes.


    "Hey, do you recognize me?"


    Prince Christensen may currently be a good for nothing but he was still a Grade E Summoner, his inhuman constitution enabled him to recover quickly.


    His eyes soon widened in surprise. "I''m not sure, you look familiar".


    "I''m Legs''s friend, he told me toe rescue you".


    "Ahh¡­, Legs?!"


    "Shhh¡­! We''re still in enemy territory". Legs cated the agitated prince. "I''ll save you, just follow my instructions and you''ll be safe".


    Since Prince Christensen only got to meet his real little kid self, Legs had no choice but to lie that he was Legs''s friend to avoid suspicions.


    After his incredible job in saving Leo, the prince literally already saw him as a superhero and now that he indicated that he was rted to Legs, Prince Christensen heaved a huge sigh of relief as tears poured down his eyes.


    With Prince Christensen awake, now came the most important task, escape.


    Blue River was the one who spoke first. "Faction Leader, we just exchanged shifts with the other guards, we can''t leave this prison room without attracting attention to ourselves".


    "And if we stay here longer, there''s a high chance of the guards we knocked out being discovered which willpromise us".


    "Unless we think of a different escape n, we''re trapped".


    Legs was impressed by this yer''s thinking. ''No wonder he''s the guild leader of such a powerful game guide''


    "You''re right, but I have a contingency n".


    Once he knew that this was the Swordmaster hideout, Legs already thought over most of the possible scenarios and already got contingency ns.


    During his previous life, one thing that the psychopaths of the notorious Clown Society were known for was their love for the table tennis game.


    At this moment when their way to escape was no longer secure, Legs decided to implement this contingency n. The enemies were too much, if they had to fight their way out, they needed to stack the stakes in their favor.


    The best way that he could think of to do this was nullifying their numbers advantage, and what better way to do this than by utilizing smoke bombs?


    "You,e here!"


    "M-me?" The doctor shuddered as soon as he was pointed at.


    Once he stood before Legs, he received instructions and though he was reluctant, with his life at stake, he had no choice but to go.


    "Remember, 2 of yourpanions are here, if you fail, I''ll kill them". Legs reminded as the traumatized doctor finally left the prison room.


    None of the guards paid attention to the doctor as he left the room, they were used to seeing the doctors moving randomly to get their brainwashing tools.


    Unlike before though, this doctor walked to one of the table tennis boards that was currently not in use. He smiled at the guards that were close by. "Hey buds, how''s the day going?"


    "The usual doctor, making sure that no prisoner escapes".


    The doctorughed and walked past the board while in the process casually picking 4 ping pong balls. He walked randomly and picked a piece of foil along the way before returning to the prison room.


    Once he returned, Legs took all 4 ping pong balls. Legs was about to create a smoke bomb locally using the ping-pong balls method.


    He picked the doctors'' knife before poking a hole in one of the balls. Using the same knife, he cut the remaining ping-pong balls into small pieces before putting them in the hole of the first ball until it was full.


    After this, Legs looked around before picking a random long tool like a pencil in the room which he sticked into the hole of the ping pong ball.


    Once the long tool went in, Legs put the ping pong ball in the center of the foil square before wrapping the foil tightly around the ball until it took shape.


    After this, he finally removed the long tool, the smoke bomb was ready.


    Almost instantly after Legs did this, a ring alert reverberated.


    Wom! Wom! Wom!


    Amotion instantly started in this level of the hideout as the guards became alert while the prisoners who were in the process of being brainwashed were interrupted.


    "Stay calm, they just found out, they don''t know its us yet". Legs was fast to speak to calm the nerves of the prince, the yers, and the doctors.


    Like he said, no guard specifically came to their prison room, they simply ran around as they randomly spoke about an intruder.


    "Ghost Sentry, go out and join the search for the intruder so as to not draw too much attention here".


    "Yes, faction leader". Ghost Sentry soon left and joined the search.


    1 smoke bomb was not enough to escape but Legs had no choice, now they had to ride the wave and hope that their luck shines.


    "Blue River, guide and protect the prince".


    "Yes, faction leader".


    Legs tiptoed outside alongside Horny Assassin, then he gave the yer an order. "Use your Elementalist powers to light a me under the ping-pong ball".


    Horny Assassin struggled but he was able to do just that, then the next moment, smoke starteding out of the hole in the foil that was created by the long tool. Legs bent and threw the smoke bomb a few meters away.


    The smoke spread fast and in no time, vision started being obstructed.


    "Now!" Legs growled and 4 of them escaped out of the prison room, this was after Blue River knocked out the 3 doctors.


    "Where is smokeing from? Find the source and stop it!"


    Themotion in this level increased as with their vision obstructed, the psychopaths walked chaotically, asionally colliding against each other.


    In this chaos, Legs led his 2 faction members and the prince away.


    Ghost Sentry already became more or less a sacrifice at this point.


    With his expert navigation skills, Legs soon led them to the staircase that led to the 1st level of the hideout but it was already covered with guards.


    "Hey! You 4, what are you doing here? Are you not supposed to be searching for the intruder¡­?" The guard leader stopped mid-sentence as his eyes narrowed. "Is that a prisoner?"


    "Attack!" Legs pounced on them first as Horny Assassin yelled before following him. As for Blue River, he stayed back and protected the prince.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    With Blue River assisting with the pistols, 5 to 6 psychopaths were soon lying on the ground either dead or injured as they escaped back to the 1st floor.


    The only problem was that this time the sound of the gunshots was heard. Dozens of psychopaths trooped towards this direction after finally finding the intruder, they yelled as they hauled attacks at them.


    "Stand your ground! We can fight them¡­!" Legs''s words got stuck in his throat as a muscr swordsman like a giant led the charge in their direction.


    The Swordmaster was here!


    Legs felt goosebumps. "Crap!"

 Chapter 58 Fighting The Swordmaster

    BOOM!


    The giant swordmaster crashed down with his Great Sword and the sound induced was like that of rumbling thunder.


    -----


    Passive ability has been triggered: Jungle Cruise!


    ----


    Legs was only fast enough to dodge the sure-death attack due to his passive ability that got triggered on time. This time, he escaped death by the skin of his teeth and instantly, his sweat started dropping like water from a tap.


    "HOW DARE YOU INFILTRATE MY DOMAIN?!"


    The deep powerful voice of the swordmaster reverberated like thunder as he directed his anger at the intruders who dared to target his domain.


    That one attack was all it took for Blue River and the others to give up.


    Grade D superhumans were far stronger than Grade E superhumans, and due to his towering size, the 2 yers felt like they were up against a god.


    They were already ready to give up the mission until they heard Legs''s voice. "Listen to my instructions, he is not invincible!"


    At this moment, after barely dodging the swordmaster''s attack, Legs rolled further away even as the swordmaster and the other psychopaths of the Clown Society surrounded thempletely.


    Legs spoke as fast as he could since time was against them.


    "No matter what you do, do not leave the prince to die!"


    "Protect him!"


    "I will find a way out of this situation!"


    They did not know why, but hearing Legs''s confident voice despite the current situation, the 2 yers calmed down as Blue River finally started thinking rationally again. He raised his pistols instantly and started shooting.


    While he shot, Blue River protected Prince Christensen with his body.


    As he saw him fighting, this was when Horny Assassin finally returned to reality. "Right, he may be powerful but he''s not invincible!"


    "Afterall, I will not die so what am I afraid of?"


    "Faction Leader, let me prove my loyalty with my life!"


    Horny Assassin yelled and instantly, fire erupted and surrounded his fists that were covered with the boxing gloves. In this state, Horny Assassin yelled and punched randomly as he killed 3 psychopaths in an instant.


    His momentum was not stopped as he continued forward.


    With Blue River protecting the prince and Horny Assassin causing such amotion, Legs finally found the time to think and strategize as he scanned the whole underground in an instant.


    Escaping through the main passage was impossible since dozens of psychopaths filled there, the only other way was through the secret passageway.


    "This way!"


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master!


    ----


    Rex yelled as he waved his sword, killing 2 more psychopaths and creating a small pathway through the dozens of psychopaths that were blocking his way.


    Once they heard him yell, Horny Assassin and Blue River sprinted in that direction with the prince as they tried to escape.


    The swordmaster was angered!


    Not only did these petty intruders ignore his question, they tried to escape before his nose, did they take him for a fool or a dead man?


    "Arrogant fools! Die!!!"


    The swordmaster finally flexed his powerful pugilist energy as a berserk red energy surrounded the de edge of his great sword.


    The swordmaster took a heavy step which induced an effect like an earthquake, then he started rotating forward as his great sword sliced with unstoppable momentum, killing even his own subordinates in the process.


    Horny Assassin was caught first in the storm and he stood no chance.


    Horny Assassin was sliced apart as he dissipated into light particles.


    Blue River was next, but he grabbed and threw the prince towards Legs before dying to the great sword movement of the swordmaster.


    Legs was not left unscathed, as soon as he caught Prince Christensen, he saw the glistening edge of the de slicing towards him.


    For the first time since reincarnating, Legs saw death facing him.


    Legs originally intended to escape without having to call his beasts since if they had to face a Grade D superhuman, their life would be endangered and the situation would be more chaotic but now, he had no choice.


    "F*ck it!"


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning!


    ----


    Bzzz!


    Having felt their master''s agitation through their telepathic connection already, all 3 beasts arrived battle-ready to greet the great sword.


    Predator roared and took center-stage after activating its Scale Defense active ability. Despite its vitality and defense, a Grade D Pugilist''s strength was unstoppable as the sword cut straight through Predator''s skin.


    "Roar!!!"


    ck blood flowed as Predator roared in pain but his life was not endangered, his Darkness Regeneration passive ability kicked in since they were in a dark cave as his injury started visibly healing.


    Predator red at the giant human and was about to retaliate but was stopped by Legs who still had a bird''s eye view of this battlefield.


    "Predator, stop!"


    "Ak, nature call!"


    "Lucky, moon power!"


    "Ak, speed demon!"


    This was where the Beast Trainer ss knowledge came in handy.


    Legs''s voice at this moment was like a decree from heaven to the 3 beasts. Predator stopped instantly while Ak activated its nature call active ability, inducing a hurricane that briefly pushed the swordmaster backward.


    Lucky followed by activating its moon power active ability. Lucky instantly created an illusion that sessfully drew all the psychopaths in including the swordmaster, but against a Grade D Pugilist, it would onlyst little.


    This little time though was all that Legs needed as Ak finally activated its speed demon active ability. Instantly, its speed increased to a ridiculous level.


    Legs grabbed Prince Christensen and threw him on top Ak, he also mounted the beast as he yelled at his remaining 2 beasts to escape.


    Whoosh!


    Like the wind, Ak escaped towards the secret passageway.


    "HOW DARE YOU TRY TO FOOL ME?!" The swordmaster finally broke free from the illusion as he yelled angrily.


    Almost the same time that he woke up, light particles appeared again in the air as Blue River and Horny Assassin spawned again. At the same time, Ghost Sentry also arrived back at the first level of the hideout.


    On seeing the direction where the intruders were escaping to, the swordman''s eyes widened in shock and rm as he grabbed his great sword tighter and started sprinting after them in pursuit.


    In the end, Legs''s beasts were faster.


    They almost entered the secret passageway already before a massive Bull with 4 horns suddenly blocked them, this massive Bull pushed Ak back.


    The bull bellowed as a strange energy empowered it from somewhere hidden.


    Legs''s eyes widened. "Basic Beast Energy Augmentation!"


    "But the swordmaster hideout didn''t have such a strong Summoner!"


    Legs''s n was again disrupted by an unknown variable, and this time, it was really costly, the swordmaster finally caught up to them.


    "Stand your ground! Fight!" Legs yelled at his beasts.


    Predator roared and led the charge as it pounced on the giant. At the other side, Blue River led the charge as they attacked the swordmaster.


    The giant swordmaster grabbed Predator with one hand before head-butting it as Predator roared in pain the next moment, its head suffered a massive crack but its Darkness Regeneration ability proved tenacious.


    As for the yers, they were no Predator, they stood no chance, one sweep of his great sword was all it took for the swordmaster to annihte them again.


    Horny Assassin''s mournful cry reverberated. "Noooo!! My spawn time for the week just finished!"


    Legs''s 3 beasts fought an intense battle against the giant Grade D swordmaster and the powerful Grade E Bull here but they were losing.


    Legs made use of all his active abilities and Summoner ss knowledge that he could but still, he could not turn the situation around.


    The swordmaster''s great sword attacks were just too powerful.


    Boom!


    Legs was finally hit by the swordmaster''s sharp Pugilist energy, he was cut on the chest as blood flowed in waves, causing his beasts to start panicking.


    Lucky panicked and gave her all for the first time in a fight but it was not enough. They literally used all their active abilities and trump cards, but the swordmaster was simply too powerful.


    After boxing them in one ce, leaving them injured, the swordmaster finally raised his great sword to deal the finishing blow.


    Instead of looking at the descending great sword, Legs gritted his teeth and looked at Prince Christensen instead. The next moment, he made a self-damaging move that made him cough more blood instantly.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning!


    ----


    The rainbow bridge appeared again, and this time, Legs and his beasts were not the only ones that traveled through it, he grabbed Prince Christensen and after suffering internal injuries, he was able to force the prince through.


    Legs took them all to the beast ne.


    BOOM!


    The great sword finally descended,pletely destroying the cave floor and environs but the sword did not get its targets, they were gone.


    The swordmaster was furious. "WHERE DID THEY GO?!"

 Chapter 59 Stuck In The Beast Plane

    "Ugh!" Legs groaned in pain as he finallynded.


    Due to the chaotic manner through which they rushed into the rainbow bridge, the journey this time was not as pleasant as theynded in the beast ne in awkward positions, Prince Christensen''s was worst.


    Unable to control himself, the princended awkwardly and rolled on the yellow ground like a cut of yam being rolled through red oil seasoning, dirtying himself in the process as he groaned.


    It took some time but prince Christensen finally recovered. He didn''t just recover physically, he also recovered psychologically since the trauma of facing the giant swordmaster was still horrifyingly fresh in his mind.


    Despite his trauma, he recovered first since he was the only one that didn''t take part in the harrowing battle.


    Prince Christensen grabbed and supported his aching waist as he stood up. He was about toin before he remembered those who fought the battle.


    His eyes widened and he turned only to see Legs with blood all over his lips and chest. Predator casuallyid at a corner nursing its severe injuries, Lucky did the same, while only Ak seemed to have the motivation to get back up.


    Legs and his 3 beasts were all injured from the encounter with the swordmaster. Seeing the deep sword wound on Legs''s chest, Prince Christensen''s heart skipped a bit as he rushed closer.


    "Are you ok?" He grabbed and raised Legs up.


    "I-I''m ok¡­" Legs groaned as the prince held him.


    -----


    [Warning! Your health points are less than 20% and your health recovery process is suppressed due to Pugilist Energy attack!]


    [You are currently in a weakened state!]


    [Receive special treatment to counter effects of Pugilist Energy attack!]


    ----


    "F*ck!" Legs cursed on seeing this.


    This swordmaster was just as messed-up as the game version one that he yed against in his previous life.


    Apart from his giant frame, his outstanding strength and incredible swordmanship, the Pugilist swordmaster was notorious due to the special attribute of his Pugilist Energy.


    When attacked and injured by the swordmaster, his Pugilist Energy had a special ability like a poison to hinder recovery processes of his enemies.


    Legs hoped for that to be a game bug but he was sorely disappointed, the swordmaster was still the same giant sword freak that he hated.


    He tried to stand up but the pain did not let him. "Ugh¡­!" He groaned again.


    The more Legs groaned; the more Prince Christensen panicked on seeing his current state. "A-are you ok?" He just kept on asking as the trauma of facing the swordmaster was triggered again.


    Despite being the one that was injured, Legs took his time tofort and encourage the prince. "Don''t worry, I''ll survive and we''ll make it out of this".


    "To survive, I need a special herb that is not avable in the beast ne".


    "Beast ne?" Prince Christensen asked cluelessly, leaving Legs bbergasted as he stared on speechlessly.


    "You''re a summoner?"


    "Yeah".


    "You don''t know the beast ne?"


    "No¡­, is that something I should know?"


    "¡­"


    Legs opened and closed his mouth speechlessly. "Um¡­, never mind".


    To save his sanity, he stopped exining to the prince for now. At this moment, he was seriously injured, his only way of surviving was getting the Queen Orb herb but this herb was incapable of growing in the beast ne.


    This indirectly meant that to survive, he needed to return to Darvis. The problem was that returning to the swordmaster without a n was suicide.


    Having lost a lot of blood already, Legs felt lightheaded. This was when he remembered as he tore his shirt and used it to bandage the injury with the prince''s help. After this, he started thinking.


    Despite thinking for minutes, Legs was not able to arrive at a new and better n to survive, all the ns involved returning to get the herb.


    "Damn, must I face the swordmaster again?"


    Once he resigned to his fate, he started thinking of ways around it. Back in his previous world in the game, the swordmaster was notorious for a lot of things.


    One of the things he was notorious for was his determination when angered.


    When stuck in his hideout without setting another spawn point, that yer was screwed since the swordmaster would never rest until he annihted the enemy who angered him.


    "I hope this real version of him is different".


    Legs decided to wait for a day. He hoped that after waiting that long, the swordmaster would be tired of waiting and would finally leave the location of the battlefield which was now his spawn point to return to Darvis.


    He checked every few hours through the rainbow bridge.


    ¡­


    24 hourster¡­


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    As soon as the rainbow bridge appeared, Legs peeped through while hoping. His heart soon skipped a bit though as a pair of red eyes filled with rage red back at him through the rainbow bridge.


    "Arrogant fools! Die!"


    Legs closed the bridge as he felt tears pouring down his eyes, he cursed. "This relentless bastard!"


    If the swordmaster remained there, his chances of survival were zero as even now, his health points were still reducing slowly.


    At this moment, only Lucky and Predator were with him. To keep her rtionship with them, Ak already returned to her previous wolf pack.


    Legs held his chin in deep thought. "Since that n failed, my only chance of surviving now is to fight the swordmaster and win".


    Just imagining it in his condition left Legs sick but he had no choice.


    "F*ck it!" He instantly started thinking of a n.


    A few minutester, he essed his virtual interface status.


    -----


    You have created a Grade E Faction Mission: Help the Faction Leader


    Mission Reward: +100 Favorability with the Faction Leader


    ----


    ¡­


    For the past day, Blue River and Ghost Frenzy were left feeling anxious.


    After the battle in the hideout, Horny Assassin finished his revive chances and was therefore logged out. As for the 2 of them, they could only return to spawn in their 1st spawn point since spawning in the hideout was suicide.


    Since they did not know what happened to Legs, they could only wait anxiously while hoping that nothing too serious happened to him.


    Amid their wait, a new interface notification appeared before them.


    [You have received Grade E Mission: Help the Faction Leader!]


    [Mission Details: The faction leader is injured and stuck in the beast ne and requires your help. At 10:00am sharp, spawn back in the swordmaster hideout and jump into the rainbow bridge that appears.]


    [Additional mission details avable onpleting the first requirements.]


    [Mission Reward: +100 Favorability with the Faction Leader!]


    On seeing this new mission, both yers were thrilled as without hesitation or even looking at the rewards, they epted it, then they waited.


    An hourter when it was finally 10:00am, they bothmitted suicide as they turned into light particles. Instantly after they died, they made the changes to spawn in the swordmaster hideout.


    "Arrogant fools! Die!"


    Both yers shuddered on hearing the powerful voice of the swordmaster.


    Despite their fear, they remembered the instructions that were on the mission details. As soon as they appeared with the light particles, they saw the glowing rainbow bridge and without hesitation jumped into it.


    The swordmaster looked in shock as the 2 yers disappeared before him.


    The swordmaster was furious again. "WHERE DID THEY GO TO?!"


    ¡­


    Once the 2 yers appeared, they were shocked on seeing Legs''s condition. Legs did not waste any time as soon as they appeared.


    "I have a mission for the both of you".

 Chapter 60 Subduing A Wolf Pack [1]

    "I have a mission for the both of you".


    "I need your help to subdue a wolf pack".


    Legs had less than 24 hours to live if he did not get the Queen Orb herb to treat the Pugilist Energy infection of the swordmaster.


    Facing the unrelenting attitude of the swordmaster, he already resigned to fight against this powerful Pugilist and the only way that he could think of to stand a chance against him was by embracing his ss as a Shepherd.


    Predator, Ak, and Lucky may be powerful for Grade E beasts but when pitted against a Grade D Pugilist like the swordmaster, they stood no chance.


    For the first time since reincarnating into this world, Legs decided to use the trademark of Summoners to win this battle, quantity over quality.


    After the Shepherd ss advancement upwards, most Summoners tend to lean towards quantity more so long as they had a good contracted beast with leadership qualities. This tendency only increased in thete stages of the game.


    Summoners were one of the more underrated sses until Version 3.


    ording to a special quote from one of the official Dominator TV pundits, Summoners were the underdogs until they unlocked the Beast Marshal ss advancement that truly made them marshals over beast armies.


    Having leveled to Grade A in the game in his previous life, Legs already had the privilege of being a Beast Marshal.


    Though he wanted to reminisce about the good old days of his previous life, Legs could not as his life was in danger at this moment.


    "A wolf pack?" Ghost Sentry asked.


    "Yes". Legs answered as he forced himself to stand up.


    Having finished his daily experience limit to give to yers in missions, Legs could no longer offer them experience points and was why he rather opted to increase their favorability with him as the mission reward.


    By making it to the beast ne, his favorability of them already increased as they received matching notifications through their virtual interface status.


    For this mission, Legs had no ns of triggering another one for them. He instead decided to take advantage of their rtionship and simply ask for help.


    Their reverence for him made them overlook this little detail.


    "If I don''t make it out of here in the next 24 hours, I''ll be dead".


    "And to escape, I have no choice but to fight the swordmaster".


    "Here''s my n¡­"


    Legs spent some good minutes exining to them. "The overall n is to subdue the wolf pack peacefully; we are needed only in the case of an emergency".


    "Let''s go".


    As they were in the process of leaving, Legs suddenly remembered something as he turned to face prince Christensen. "Where''s Leo?"


    "U-ahh¡­, I-I don''t know". Prince Christensen was caught off-guard as he scratched his head. "I think he was taken into the cave alongside me but after some time, I didn''t see him anymore".


    "Ok". Legs nodded. "Don''t you have a telepathic rtionship with him?"


    "Umm¡­, no".


    "¡­"


    Legs really felt like bashing his head against a wall.


    He wondered if this was really the same prince that was capable of such amazing things in future versions, Christensen currently looked no part of the great warrior that he became in the future.


    "Never mind, let''s go".


    As they left, Legs focused andmunicated with Ak telepathically.


    By now, Predator''s tenacious vitality already enabled him to recoverpletely from his injuries while for Lucky''s, her incredible luck helped her.


    He was the only one still injured whose life was in danger. "I hope I don''t die so soon man; I have a lot of unfinished dreams".


    ¡­


    Awoo! Awoo!"


    The cries of wolves filled the chaotic battlefield as the fight dragged on.


    On a daily basis, wolf packs had to engage in intense battles to secure food. During some of these battles, some unlucky wolves die, decreasing the numbers in the pack but this didn''t matter since other wolves joined with time.


    When Legs just came to the beast ne to hunt for his 2nd contracted beast, Ak''s wolf packprised 15 wolves but now it increased to 18.


    At this moment, the leader of the pack, the Wraith Wolf was engrossed in the action as she led her pack to fight against a pride of Lions.


    The 8 Lions despite being the side with the lesser numbers gave a good fight. Despite losing a lioness, their alpha male''s incredible might trumped that of the Wraith Wolf and led them to killing 3 wolves.


    In the end, after an intense battle, the wolf pack ended up retreating.


    They didn''t know what happened, unlike the previous sess that they enjoyed in the past few days, today just seemed off and they suffered.


    Apart from the 3 dead wolves, 50% of the others suffered severe injuries. Even the 2nd strongest in the pack, the Dark Wolf suffered injuries. This was the greatest defeat of the wolf pack since the Wraith Wolf''s reign.


    As soon as they returned to their mountain peak to leak their injuries, as the other wolves whimpered, one of the wolves soon stood up and faced the alpha.


    "Awoo!"


    To the surprise of the other wolves, one of them was confident enough to voice his discontent about the alpha''s leadership and issued a challenge.


    The tradition of the wolves was for the strongest to be the alpha. After the tragic loss, Ak voiced his discontent and issued a challenge to the Wraith Wolf.


    The Wraith Wolf was as shocked as the others but having been annoyed by the oue of the battle already, this riled him up as he agreed to the challenge.


    If Ak won, he would be eligible to be the leader of the pack but it would not be easy since the irritated Wraith Wolf was ready to tear him apart.


    In no time, all the remaining 15 wolves surrounded the mountain peak, forming a battle arena at the center for the 2 wolves to battle.


    After a sizeable number of intimidating growls from both massive wolves, the Wraith Wolf made the first move and the Wind Wolf reciprocated.


    Boom!


    Wind Wolves were not renowned for their great strength, neither was Wraith Wolves. Wraith wolves were more renowned for their cunning and terrifying undead energy.


    As for Wind wolves, they were renowned for their speed, leadership qualities, and their incredible control over the wind element.


    Once both wolves shed, their differences showed as Ak opted to dominate the battle with speedy runs and swift attacks from the side.


    As for the Wraith Wolf, though his anger prevented him from showing his famed elegance and cunning, he still fought to his undead energy''s advantage.


    All it needed was one deep injury and Ak was done. So long his undead energy could seep into his opponent''s blood stream, then the battle was his.


    Both wolves went at it for a few minutes and the Wraith Wolf started dominating with time. This didn''tst long though.


    A green energy appeared from nowhere and suddenly wrapped the Wind Wolf''s form, multiplying its strength and speed several folds.


    In an instant, Ak regained the initiative and he did not let the Wraith Wolf recover or adapt as heboed the wolf till he incapacitated it.


    With one of its hind legs injured, the Wraith Wolf surrendered.


    All the other wolves were shocked including the Dark Wolf, the Wind Wolf won! Even Ak was ecstatic as he turned to acknowledge the other wolves.


    As soon as he turned, the unexpected happened as the Wraith Wolf activated a special ability, making its body turn shriveled and rocky brown in color as it pounced on Ak before sinking its teeth into his neck.


    Ak howled in pain as the Wraith Wolf threw him to the side after inflicting a terrible neck injury to him.


    To all the wolves'' shock, the Wraith Wolf spoke. "Traitor!"


    "You think I don''t know that energy?"


    "You became a human''s beast!"


    All the wolves were clueless and confused, but someone was not.


    "n B!" Legs whispered to the 2 yers as he mounted Predator. The peaceful n to subdue the wolves without a fight clearly already failed.


    "Attack and kill that wolf!"


    "Yes, Faction Leader!"


    2 humans soon rushed out from behind a rock where they hid as they were quickly followed by another human and 2 beasts.


    The Wraith Wolf''s eyes narrowed hatefully. "Humans!"

 Chapter 61 Subduing A Wolf Pack [2]

    "Humans!"


    The Wraith Wolf confirmed its suspicions and its eyes constricted in hate.


    The beast ne was like the alternate world for Summoners, most of them spend lots of time here but the beast ne was a huge world.


    A lot of beasts have not encountered humans yet, but the Wraith Wolf was among the few who have encountered this terrible race.


    Though none of the other wolves had encountered humans before now, they reacted instinctively as they were stimted by their alpha''s hate towards them.


    Awoo! Awoo!


    The Wraith Wolf led the charge and the other wolves followed while howling as they aimed to sh with and destroy these creatures that were before them.


    -----


    Passive Ability has been triggered: Marksman


    ----


    Having used the rent time for the weapons that they took from him, Legs already took his weapons back from the 2 yers, including the G-96 automatic pistols which he used to debut in this battle.


    As Predator charged towards the wolves with Legs riding on top it, Legs equipped the automatic pistols as he changed the clip.


    As soon as he changed the clip to thest of his chaotic mana bullets, his marksman passive ability triggered and he instantly entered an inspired state.


    All of a sudden, Legs felt like James Bond as he aimed with the pistols.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The bullets came flowing out with such precision and rhythm like the expert handling of a drummer rotating through his drum kit.


    The Wraith Wolf''s momentum was stopped as the bullets sprayed all over his face as blood blossomed, they tore his thick hide open.


    The Wraith Wolf retreated to the side to dodge the barrage of bullets as he tried to activate its undead affinity to unleash a long-ranged undead energy attack.


    In the process though, its control over its energy failed it for the first time in a long time since it became a veteran hunter.


    One main use of chaotic mana bullets against opponents was their incredible ability to mess with the control of any type of energy or mana.


    With its undead energy unstable, the Wraith Wolf became vulnerable.


    Predator was as ruthless as usual. Once he closed the distance, without hesitation, he activated his w barrage skill before pouncing on the wolf.


    The Wraith Wolf tried to resist but paired with his dark energy powers, it stood no chance as Predator hammered it with his ws, inflicting more injuries all over its body and soon leaving its body like a sieve.


    Legs jumped down from Predator''s back and rolled a few meters to the side before aiming again as he continued shooting with the pistols from the nks.


    He could only do this for a few seconds though before he was stopped.


    Awoo!


    The Dark Wolf roared angrily as it joined the battle.


    Until the Wraith Wolf submitted and Ak became the new alpha, the Wraith Wolf was still their alpha and they were obligated to defend it.


    Not just the Dark Wolf, the other wolves came as they shed with the humans. Ghost Sentry and Blue River were upied in no time.


    "Leave the other wolves alive, aim only for the Wraith Wolf!" Amid themotion, Legs still found time to give orders to his 2 faction members.


    Though they were both weak Grade F superhumans, he brought them to this battle for a reason. Against the Wraith Wolf, Predator was a beast since his dark affinity gave him immunity against the wolf''s undead powers.


    For Legs, Lucky, and Ak though, they were not immune to the intimidating undead powers. The 2 yers were not immune either but they had one important advantage, they were undead themselves.


    "Attack the Wraith Wolf!"


    Legs despite his injuries stood his ground and fought the Dark Wolf.


    He took this risk to give Lucky a free role. The intelligent Moon Fox did not fail his expectations, Lucky being the only free one took advantage of the battlefield as she controlled everything through her incredible powers.


    Through her moon, luck, and wind powers, she assisted both yers.


    [You have been affected by the Luck Glow passive ability!]


    [Your luck has increased!]


    As soon as they saw this notification, Blue River and Ghost Sentry entered the most incredibly inspired state that they ever had the opportunity to enjoy.


    The goddess of luck literally seemed to embrace them in her ample bosom.


    Everything started working for them, they fought their way to the main battlefield in no time and without hesitation, they shed with the Wraith Wolf.


    The Wraith Wolf and Predator were embroiled in a fierce battle where Predator was winning and with the 2 yer''s arrival, the scales tipped even more.


    Both yers were not afraid of death, they fought frenziedly.


    Twice, they both dissipated into light particles after being killed but like the terrifying corona virus and its variants, they simply reappeared and remained a thorn at the Wraith Wolf''s side.


    After 10 incredible minutes of battle, the Wraith Wolf suffered a deep injury from Predator''s ruthless bite.


    "This is the chance!" Legs spotted it.


    Legs dodged the Dark Wolf''s attack and jumped in the air before aiming, then he unleashed all the remaining chaotic mana bullets.


    This disrupted the Wraith Wolf''s mana flow even more, and a battle-frenzied Predator took advantage of it, ripping its head from its body savagely.


    "Roar!" Predator roared victoriously.


    -----


    Predator has killed a Wraith Wolf: Grade E


    You have gained 2,500 Experience Points


    ----


    All the wolves paused in shock as soon as their alpha died, it was like a bond that previously tied them suddenly was cut and it took them time to react.


    This was all the time that Legs needed as he evaded the Dark Wolf and rolled thrice on the ground till he appeared directly beside the dead Wraith Wolf.


    Legs felt that it was a pity. Having a Wraith Wolf would have been an incredible addition to his herd, but things were fated not to be so, the Wraith Wolf had no choice but to die as soon as it injured Ak.


    Legs kept his pistols before bringing a dagger as he dug it into the Wraith Wolf''s chest, cutting it open before harvesting its heart.


    He ignored the wolves who were slowly returning to their senses as he smashed the heart against the rock. He gathered the bloody juice that formed as he rushed towards where Ak was.


    On getting there, the Wind Wolf was already turning pale and shriveled, undead energy was truly a terrifyingly potent energy.


    Without hesitation, he opened Ak''s mouth and fed it the bloody juice.


    The effects were instant as all the injuries started disappearing. The number 1 effective way to purge undead energy was through the beast''s heart.


    About a minuteter, Ak was back on his feet.


    The remaining wolves already surrounded them, but now, Ak was on his feet as he stood before them.


    Ak raised his head proudly and howled. "Awoo!"


    The Dark Wolf looked down at the Wraith Wolf who already lost his head and heart, then back at the Wind Wolf, then it bowed its head.


    Once it did, all the other wolves bowed as they acknowledged their new alpha. Ak was now the new alpha of this wolf pack.


    -----


    Congrattions! You have subdued a Wolf Pack!


    ----


    Once his virtual interface status confirmed it, Legs heaved a sigh of relief as he finally gave in to his terrible injuries and copsed.

 Chapter 62 Predators Genius

    "Faction Leader!"


    Ghost Sentry and Blue River were shocked as soon as Legs copsed as they ran closer to support him. As they looked at him, fear gripped their hearts.


    At this moment, apart from his terrible injuries, Legs was as shriveled as a malnourished kid who was starving. The Pugilist Energy attack from the swordmaster alreadysted too long and took a toil on his body.


    Apart from the Pugilist Energy of the swordmaster, fighting against the Dark Wolf also took a toil on him. With such little health points, Legs only survived against the Dark Wolf because he was Legs.


    Any other superhuman warrior of his grade literally had a guaranteed chance of death in the battle situation that he found himself.


    Fighting that battle was like threading through a narrow needle path, any single mistake or misstep and he would lose his life but he survived through experience and his pure grit.


    Though he barely survived, his health points were now at a critical point and the dark energy of the Dark Wolf also affected him, adding to his suffering.


    As both yers held him, Prince Christensen who due to fear stood back throughout the battle finally ran closer as guilt and fear gripped him.


    Seeing Legs''s weak state, this prince sobbed. "Please don''t die".


    -----


    Warning! You are in a critical health state!


    To keep you alive, effects of the Ultimate Man Potion has been suppressed!


    ----


    As the yers held him, they jolted in shock as Legs suddenly started shrinking. In just a few seconds, Legs became a young and cute 15-year-old boy.


    Prince Christensen''s eyes widened in shock on seeing this. "Legs?!"


    Prince Christensen was not exactly a great thinker, but on seeing this scene, a lot of things went through his mind that confirmed some suspicions that he had but have been ignoring since due to blind faith in Legs.


    Despite his thoughts though, he didn''t pay too much attention to them since at this moment, Legs his savior''s life was in danger.


    After the battle, Ak had no time for anything else after recovering as she focused on establishing her stand as the new alpha of the wolf pack.


    She needed to do it now or with a wolf as capable as the Dark Wolf in the pack, if she was not fast, the Dark Wolf could take her ce and be the alpha.


    As for Predator, in these few seconds since Legs copsed, he already devoured the flesh of the Wraith Wolf.


    As a Nightmare Beast with immense dark powers, the undead energy in the wolf''s body could not affect him. Instead, they served as great nourishment to him.


    After feasting on the flesh though, Predator intended to go attend to his master but for some reason, a suppressing force seemed to press down on him.


    Predator could not move as heid down and instantly fell asleep.


    With Predator and Ak upied, Lucky became the only free beast. She rushed to Legs''s side as she looked at her master with worry on her foxy face.


    Lucky may be a stubborn personality, but in these few months spent alongside Legs, her intelligence told her how important he was in her life.


    Though unlike Legs''s contracted beasts she would not die if Legs died, she still could not allow Legs to die on any circumstances.


    "You 3 are humans, don''t you know any herbs to cure him!" Lucky was anxious as she soon directed her ire towards the 3 humans.


    Having seen Legs perform miracles countless times through his knowledge of herbs, she now expected the same from the 3 humans but she was up for a big disappointment as all 3 stared at her helplessly.


    Prince Christensen could only cry as he hugged the little 15-year-old boy. "Legs, please don''t die".


    "I have no once else to run to if you leave me".


    Unknown to them, while they mourned and worried, Legs already regained some color in his face as mysterious changes went on in his body.


    Unknown to them also, Ak also fell asleep at some point already. 2 of them seemed to follow Predator''s lead through their soul connection.

    [Mission Reward: Sessful Grade level up.]


    ----


    This was when Legs finally woke up.


    Though he was still not yet a Grade D Superhuman, having leveled up 5 times consecutively, he regained some health points that helped him battle the Pugilist Energy and dark energy that were ravaging his body.


    Legs woke up with dizzy eyes but he was still able to see the notifications of his virtual interface status that hovered before him.


    Once he read it all, he was shocked as he finally understood.


    "Predator f*cking did it!" He was emotional and ecstatic.


    Even with all the wolves that would soon be part of his herd, fighting against the swordmaster and his subordinates and surviving was not guaranteed.


    With his 2 contracted beasts bing Grade D beasts now though, his chances of sess increased significantly.


    As for his grade level up mission, he could also finish it now and be a Grade D superhuman since he received a missionpletion card afterpleting the mission of saving Mr. Keane''s life some time ago.


    He didn''t use it though. With Predator''s genius that led to this favorable situation, he was now confident of killing the freak swordmaster.


    At this moment, having seen Ak and Predator be Grade D beasts before their eyes, Lucky, Prince Christensen, and the yers stood and looked on in awe having forgotten the injured Legs already.


    When they noticed movement and turned to see Legs having recovered a bit, they were shocked too but Legs didn''t pay attention to them.


    He ignored them all and walked towards Predator. Though Predator didn''t increase in size, he gained muscle mass, he was definitely far stronger now.


    Legs hugged the Nightmare beast by the head. "My boy!"

    ----


    On looking at the new stats of the 2 beasts as designated by his virtual interface status, a bright smile of a happy man lit up Rex''s face.


    By bing Grade D beasts, Ak and Predator became the 2 most lethal weapons in his arsenal. Predator was definitely the main protagonist of the show though since he was responsible for all this.


    Of course, Ak got far stronger than before but Predator''s growth surprised Legs the most. The interface was right, Predator was living up to the hype.


    A newly upgraded Grade D beast having strength that was over a thousand was pretty ridiculous, Predator was indeed the real package.


    Though he wanted nothing more than to sit down and just admire the new stats of his 2 beasts, Legs had priorities. He was still not healed, he needed to move fast and save himself first.


    Before any other thing, Legs turned to face the wolf pack. As soon as he looked at them, like he expected, his system lit up a notification.


    -----


    [Ak''s Wolf Pack!]


    [Pack Wolves: 14]


    [Alpha Wolf: Ak]


    [Beta Wolf: Dark Wolf -???]


    [No. of Grade D Wolves: 1]


    [No. of Grade E Wolves: 1]


    [No. of Grade F Wolves: 12]


    ----


    Legs''s smile grew wider as he saw this. He looked at all 13 new wolves again, admiring their fine but tough fur as he gave Ak a thump up.


    Then he turned to face Ak. "I want to give the dark wolf a name, can I?"


    Ak nodded softly which was his sign of approval.


    Legs turned to face the Dark Wolf who was the darkest and meanest of all the wolves. "Since you look so mean and evil, I will call you Warg".


    -----


    [Beast name has been registered: Warg]


    ----


    As for the other wolves, they needed to prove themselves before they could get the privilege to be named by him.


    After giving Warg its name, this was when Legs finally left the ectasy of the moment due to his beast''s evolution. And once he left it, this was when he discovered the awkward atmosphere that was in the air.


    Lucky was silent at one side. But the Fox was not his worry, it was the 2 yers and prince Christensen who were silently looking at him since.


    Legs''s brain worked fast and he instantly knew the reason. "My size".


    With the Ultimate Man Potion wearing off, he returned to his 15-year-old self. He felt like chuckling on imagining the prince''s reaction when he just saw it.


    He turned and spoke before the prince could. "I can exin".


    Legs no longer lied, he told the truth. If Prince Christensen was going to be his long-term partner in the future, they needed to be in towards each other.


    Of course, he omitted all the parts about his scheme with Leo.


    Blue River and Ghost Sentry were shocked. "What a special NPC!"


    As for Prince Christensen, he was touched by Legs''s sincerity. The next moment, the prince kneeled down. "I will never forget this favor for life".


    Prince Christensen actually started crying. "Legs, seeing how strong and knowledgeable you are at the age of 15, I am now ashamed of myself".


    "I wasted the past 20 years of my life being a spoilt brat".


    He bowed. "With all the humility in me, I am ready to learn from you. Please take me in and teach me to be like you, teach me to be strong and wise".


    "Legs, please ept me as your little brother".


    Well, this came out of the blue but this was what Legs had been working towards all the while. He replied with a serious expression on his face. "I ept".


    Only that reply was enough, Legs judged that any more words would make the atmosphere cringe. Besides, sometimes, silence spoke louder than words, like in this case. Christensen became super grateful for his benevolence.


    -----


    Your Favorability with Prince Christensen has increased by +1000


    Total Favorability: 1,102


    Your Favorability with Prince Christensen has increased to Respect status


    ----


    Legs could literally feel the respect oozing out of the prince. He smiled and helped him up, then they started preparations to return to the hideout.


    Amid the preparations, Lucky suddenly hit Legs on the butt with her wind powers. "Hey! Are you ignoring me?"


    Legs rubbed his butt in annoyance. "And why would I do that? Stop being useless and stay quiet since that is the best way you can help me at the nning".


    Lucky''s cute foxy face twisted in displeasure. "It''s because Predator and Ak became Grade D beasts, right? Now you think I''m not so important anymore".


    Legs paused at that, then he turned to face Lucky with an interesting smile on his face. "Don''t tell me¡­, haha, you''re jealous".


    "F*ck you!"


    Lucky had to take deep breaths to calm her grievances. "Don''t worry, I''ll prove to you that I am the more talented one than Predator".


    "I''m not leaving the beast ne, I will not help you fight the swordmaster".


    "Give me a week, I''ll also be a Grade D beast".


    Lucky did not let Legs respond before she turned into the wind and disappeared into the wide expanse of the beast ne.


    Legs stared speechlessly. "What¡­, just¡­, happened?"

 Chapter 64 Finish Him!

    -----


    [You have triggered Grade D Mission: Finish him!]


    [Mission Details: He injured you once, kill him!]


    [Mission Reward: 3 Basic Pugilist Knowledge, 1 Intermediate Pugilist knowledge, and 300,000 Experience Points.]


    ----


    Today was the 3rd day since Legs came to the beast ne, and it was thest day for the beta testing to be over which directly meant thest day in a while that he would get to enjoy the unique capabilities of yers.


    Right when he was about to begin delegating roles for the 2nd assault on the swordmaster hideout of the Clown Society, this came from his virtual interface.


    It was the perfect motivation that he needed, Legs felt pumped.


    Losing Lucky at such a crucial moment definitely dealt a blow to him though the little Fox was a little annoying sometimes. Despite her attitude, to Legs, Lucky''s presence was indispensable to him due to her luck powers.


    This did not mean that he could not win without her though, it just made the job more difficult but with this new motivation, Legs did not shy from the challenge. Rather, he grabbed at it with gusto.


    Legs turned to face his warriors. From the expression on the 2 yer''s faces, without a doubt, they also triggered this finish him mission.


    This was their most rewarding mission ever and they were hyped for it.


    Before delegating duties, Legs drew a n down where he highlighted all the warriors that were avable to him for this mission.


    -----


    [Prince Christensen; Blue River; Ghost Sentry; Predator; Ak and the crew!]


    ----


    "Now listen, this is the n¡­"


    "I am ready to die for you!" Prince Christensen dered with all the boldness and sincerity that he could muster".


    "So am I". Blue River and Ghost Sentry both followed the flow.


    Legs smiled onest time at his enthusiastic warriors. "Get ready". He warned then he made his move.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    "ARROGANT FOOLS!"


    The swordmaster who had been waiting patiently for 3 days roared and grabbed his sword as soon as he saw the familiar rainbow bridge.


    Legs having taunted him countless times by peeking after opening the rainbow bridge, the swordmaster already grew fed-up of him and decided that the next time, he would directly attack the bridge even if they didn''te out.


    "Die!" The swordmaster took a heavy step as he thrust his sword straight at the rainbow bridge with all the strength that he could muster.


    All the warriors of the hideout were alerted as they waited for the impact. At thest moment, instead of the mighty sword powered by Pugilist Energy shattering the rainbow bridge, a mighty roar resounded.


    "ROAR!!!" Predator roared with his new, deeper, and more menacing voice.


    "Die b*tch!" Legs tranted for the Nightmare Beast.


    Having suffered at the hands of this human warrior previously, Predator was back with a vengeance as he attacked with his lethal bite skill.


    Predator blocked and grabbed the giant swordmaster''s broad sword with its new and improved nightmare ws, then with the same momentum, he motioned to bite him on the neck.


    Feeling the new strength of the beast and also feeling the threat, the swordmaster was shocked but it only made him angrier as he pulled his sword back with his full strength.


    He freed his sword from Predator''s grasp, but in exchange, Predator bit him on the neck as blood flowed like a fountain.


    "Vile Beast!"


    The pain of the bite stimted the swordmaster''s more savage instincts. His eyes turned red like those of a berserker as he grabbed Predator and motioned to m him on the ground.


    Mid-throw, Predator grabbed him with his ws and dragged him along.


    Despite being a newly evolved beast, Predator matched the swordmaster in strength. As Predator dragged him along, he activated 2 of his special abilities, the dark arrow and the veil of darkness.


    With the dark arrow, Predator injured the swordmaster again on the chest as even more blood flowed while with the veil of darkness, they both became engulfed in the ck veil.


    Coincedentally, the 30% chance aligned and the swordmaster was temporarily blinded while engulfed in the ck veil.


    With this, Predator followed the n urately and sessfully dragged the swordmaster out of the equation. This giant was just too dangerous.


    With the swordmaster gone, Legs and the others finally jumped through the rainbow bridge having been peeking ever since.


    Legs, Christensen, and the 2 yers jumping through the bridge was expected, what the psychopaths didn''t expect was Ak and the army of wolves.


    Awoo! Awoo!


    Like a group of scavenger rats, the wolves pounced on the warriors.


    Ak led the wolves intobat with the dozens of warriors that were currently in this part of the 1st level of the swordmaster hideout, giving Legs and Christensen just enough space to escape thispartment.


    Blue River and Ghost Sentry stayed behind to help the wolves fight the psychopaths of the Clown Society, they gave their all.


    All these efforts from all of them was just enough for Legs and Prince Christensen to achieve their goal.


    Having taught Christensen how to use his telepathic rtionship with Leo already, Christensen was able to locate the powerful Golden bloodline Frost Wolf, Leo. As soon as they met the wolf, the wolf howled excitedly.


    "Awoo!" Leo was excited to see Legs.


    "Not now Leo". Christensen panicked. "Right now, we need to kill that guy!"


    "ARROGANT FOOLS, THIS SHALL BE YOUR GRAVE!" The powerful swordmaster finally overpowered Predator and burst out of the dark veil.


    "You''re still so cocky". Legs smirked. "Legs Faction, attack!"


    Well, this time, with the full crew ready, not just Predator, but Ak and the wolves, Legs, the yers, Prince Christensen and Leo all attacked this powerful giant Pugilist who still believed in its fantasy of being invincible.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The swordmaster went full berserk mode as his broad sword swung, shed, and stabbed with impossible speed and unerring precision.


    Without a doubt, he was a powerful warrior but not today.


    After onest coordinated attack by the wolves led by Ak severely injuring the swordmaster, Predator went in and added a touch of violence.


    "Let me finish him!" Legs announced on time.


    The prime opportunity was given to him as he jumped from Predator''s back with his sword already ced for a sh, it sliced straight through the swordmaster''s neck having lost all energy to power his Pugilist shield.


    There was a gurgling sound, then blood poured, then the head rolled over.


    After 3 f*cking days, Legs finally did it, the swordmaster was dead.

    >Grade E: 20-50 Intelligence stat points<


    >Grade D: 50-100 Intelligence stat points<


    ----


    Legs was of course excited for unlocking a new character title, but his attention was not on the knowledge collector title at the moment which he also unlocked in his previous life, instead his eyes were on the reward.


    In his previous life, Legs also killed the swordmaster but it was after forming a party of 5 Grade D superhuman warriors and nning for a week.


    In this new life of his, Legs never expected to kill the swordmaster so easily. This psychopath was easily one of the strongest warriors in the Clown Society, Legs felt surreal as he recognized how much he had grown.


    After oveing his emotions, he finally focused on the 4 cards that were hovering before him. He already confirmed that the same way that he couldn''t see the yer''s virtual interface, so also could they not see his.


    He turned from their point of view before grabbing the 4 floating cards


    ----


    You have received basic Pugilist knowledge: Basic Muscle Control


    You have received basic Pugilist knowledge: Basic Body Control


    You have received basic Pugilist knowledge: Basic Body Coordination


    You have received intermediate Pugilist knowledge: Pugilist Energy Control


    ----


    All 4 knowledges were essential knowledges for the Pugilist ss.


    With a satisfied look on his face, Legs kept the 4 new ss knowledge that he acquired on his inventory before turning to face the others.


    Prince Christensen peeked from behind Leo in astonishment, he was still in disbelief at the fact that they just killed this extremely powerful giant that almost killed all of them just 3 days ago when they first fought against it.


    Ak was focused on his wolf pack. He seemed to be lecturing them about their performance in the battle though to Legs, they fought admirably.


    As for Predator, like usual, he was sniffing the dead giant''s body probably to check if he could benefit from feeding on his flesh.


    As soon as Legs turned to face both Blue River and Ghost Sentry, he instantly understood the cause of their ecstasy, they also received their rewards.


    [You havepleted Grade D Mission: Kill the Giant Swordmaster!]


    [You have been rewarded with 1 Basic Pugilist Knowledge and 300,000 Experience Points.]


    On seeing the 5 shining zeros, Blue River literally went to cloud nine and back instantly. Getting 10,000 Experience Points in total during a beta testing was great, getting 20,000 Experience Points was insane.


    As for getting 300,000 XP, it was literally impossible stuff.


    "F*ck! I love the Legs Faction!" He could not hold himself as he shouted.


    As for Ghost Sentry, he was so much in disbelief that he just stood motionless shivering as he stared at the 5 shining zeros.


    "My fate changed". He shed tears of joy.


    Legs chuckled at Blue River''s reaction. "You''re making me miss Horny Assassin, I bet he would have screamed Manchester f*cking united!"


    As he spoke, he paused as his virtual interface lit up another notification.


    -----


    [You have killed a major leading figure of the Clown Society.]


    [+0.1% progress in Grade A Mission: Enemy of the Clown Society.]


    [Current Progress Bar: 0.1/10%]


    ----


    "Oh¡­, this?"


    As Legs asked, this was when he finally remembered the dozens of psychopaths of the Clown Society who were still in thispartment with them.


    The death of the swordmaster was so shocking to them that they all stood petrified at their previous locations staring at the Pugilist''s dead body in disbelief. They were so still that Legs even forgot that they were there.


    But after seeing the virtual interface notification, he finally remembered why he was here in the first ce, Legs chuckled and turned to face hispanions.


    "The swordmaster is dead, let''s wipe the whole hideout out, what do you say?" He asked while mostly looking at Prince Christensen.


    "Yes! We agree!" Blue River shouted his approval first.


    Unlike his normal calm personality, the joy of having 300,000 Experience Points in his dashboard probably already screwed Blue River in the right spots, now he had the same energy and enthusiasm as Horny Assassin.


    Legs was d, he would make use of this energy while itsted.


    "Whatever you decide, I will follow". Prince Christensen said seriously.


    Once Ghost Sentry voiced his approval, then it was settled, Legs turned to face the dozens of psychopaths who were looking at him with horror written in bold on their faces.


    They literally had to watch while these warriors discussed their death. Well, they had no choice though, the swordmaster was dead, their purple reign was over.


    "Ak, get them!"


    Awoo! Awoo!


    The wolves howled enthusiastically as they followed their alpha. In just a few minutes, the wolves under Ak were able to wipe the whole 1st level, killing every single psychopath on sight without sparing anyone.


    Due to the fact that most of the psychopaths were ordered to gather on the 1st level of the hideout, after the first wipe, everything became much easier.


    From the 2nd level down, it was a simple matter of raiding the hideout.


    The warriors already lost all motivation to fight them and they simply picked them off one after the other. While he let Predator and Ak lead the wolves to fight the psychopaths, Legs led hispanions to raid the hideout.


    They looted all the weapons and food of the hideout. Legs was d that he bought a storage ring some time ago, it came in handy now.


    Surprisingly, though Prince Christensen was a lot of awful things due to living most of his life as a spoilt prince, he was a great cook.


    He organized a nice dish which they all enjoyed.


    "Damn, you''re good". Legs praised. "Did you apply for a catering school?"


    "No". Christensen smiled. "I learned it from my mom".


    "Oh¡­, sorry".


    "It''s ok, that''s all in the past now, let''s enjoy".


    By the end of that day, they seeded inpletely raiding the swordmaster hideout. The only oddity was that Legs did not find the summoner that almost led to his death during his first battle against the swordmaster.


    He didn''t pay too much attention to it though as he led his faction members out of the hideout. As they left, his virtual interface lit up another notification.


    -----


    [You have destroyed a major hideout of the Clown Society.]


    [+0.1% progress in Grade A Mission: Enemy of the Clown Society.]


    [Current Progress Bar: 0.2/10%]


    ----

 Chapter 66 Identity Busted

    By the time that they left the swordmaster hideout, it was already evening.


    Legs led his faction members deep into the Mikaryat Mountains to stay out of the public eye while making sure to erase all tracks of their presence.


    Knowing the pride and ways of the Clown Society, he had no doubt that a vengeance psychopathic army was alreadying to check what happened.


    If these psychopaths seeking vengeance saw them in the vicinity of the just destroyed hideout, they would all attack them without hesitation.


    Though he was not afraid of antagonizing the Clown Society, he wanted to keep his real identity as elusive from them as possible since that would help him.


    After locating a cave that was huge enough to contain them all while also being capable of hiding them, Legs finally led his faction in.


    As soon as they all settled down, Blue River brought another batch of the food that they looted from the swordmaster hideout to enjoy themselves again.


    As they ate to their satisfaction, Legs brought out his storage ring.


    He stood up with a smile and spoke. "This time, we all tried and gave our best to the collective good of the faction".


    "Congrattions, the victory this time is ours".


    "Of the weapons that we looted, I''ll be giving 10 to each one of you".


    "Come choose anyone of your choice".


    The weapons that were looted from the swordmaster hideout were much. They ranged from normal melee weapons, to Pugilist-exclusive weapons, to Elementalist staffs, to guns, and to even some supplementary weapons.


    Except Prince Christensen, the 2 yers were hyped at hearing that as they came forward to choose any weapon of their choice.


    After a careful selection from the both of them thatsted approximately 5 minutes, Blue River and Ghost Sentry left with smiles on their faces.


    -----


    Your Favorability with Blue River has increased by +10


    Your Favorability with Ghost Sentry has increased by +10


    ----


    Legs turned to face Christensen with a smile. "Come take yours".


    The Prince smiled then he stood up to go take his weapons. It was still hard for him to believe, but he was really not royalty anymore, he no longer had everything that he needed at the tip of his fingers.


    After the encounter with the swordmaster, he matured and now understood that to survive, he needed to take opportunities into his own hands.


    On getting there, he was spoiled for choice for a few minutes as he was lost deep in thought. ''What do I need most to survive? That''s my priority now''.


    As he thought, he soon got it. ''I''m a Summoner, Leo will do most of the work on my behalf, what I should focus on is keeping myself alive''.


    He took one of the leather armors, a pair of gauntlets, a shield, a one-handed sword, while he used his remaining slots to pick supplementary weapons.


    Prince Christensen turned to leave but he paused and with his back facing Legs, he spoke. "Thank you, I really appreciate this opportunity that you gave me, thank you for everything".


    Legs simply smiled and did not reply.


    After sitting down, like the 2 yers, Prince Christensen used the opportunity to have a better feel of his new weapons.


    A few minutester, he looked at Rex again then he spoke. "Faction leader¡­"


    "Just call me Legs".


    "Ok, Legs, don''t you find it strange how the prisoners disappeared".


    As soon as Prince Christensen said this, all the others paused as they turned to look at him, even Legs was shocked as it finally clicked in his brain.


    "Right, throughout the raid, we didn''t get to see the other prisoners".


    Legs''s eyes narrowed as he thought, his suspicions increasing every moment about the urences in the hideout again as his body suddenly reacted, flooding him with adrenaline then the next moment Legs moved.


    -----


    Passive ability has been triggered: Marksman


    ----


    Legs rolled on the floor fast as he brought out his G-96 pistols.


    The next moment, he aimed with the automatic pistols at the entrance and pulled the trigger. As the sounds of the bullets flying roared, blood soon flew from a corner at the entrance into the cave.


    "Enemy!" Christensen and the others were shocked.


    Predator, Ak, and the wolves were also aroused as they rushed outside.


    On rushing outside though, they only saw dust rising in the distance as a massive Bull with 4 horns flexed its speed and bouncy muscles, rapidly escaping deep into the mountains.


    Riding this massive Bull was a warrior clothed in baggy red and ck clothes.


    They were shocked. "Is that¡­?"


    "Yes, it''s the Summoner". Legs said with a grim expression on his face.


    "He''s intelligent, he took all the prisoners and escaped while we fought against the swordmaster. Now he knows our faces".


    "We can''t elude this enemy anymore; the Clown Society would target us".


    Thinking of the fact that Quinn, his twin brother in this world was among the prisoners that were taken away left him with a headache.


    Legs sighed, he had no choice but to ept the current circumstances.


    He turned to face the 2 yers. "You guys said you''re temporarily leaving?"


    "Ahh¡­, yes". Blue River replied first. "We have a festival in our vige, that''s where Horny Assassin went, we also need to go".


    Legs secretly rolled his eyes. "Ok, goodluck".


    "Whenever you are back, you know how to get in touch with me".


    "Yes, faction leader".


    Once Legs bade them his goodbye, both yers packed their belongings and left. For the remaining few hours till the beta testing finally came to an end, they wanted to spend it well grinding for more experience points.


    They were already above all the yers in the beta testing due to their experience points gain under Legs, but they wanted to gain even more.


    As soon as they left, Legs turned to face Christensen. "We''re leaving this cave, staying here is dangerous".


    They spent another 40 minutes looking before they discovered another cave that was not just secure but was far from this location.


    Once they settled down again, Legs told Christensen not to disturb him and to look after the beasts, then he essed his virtual interface.


    -----


    [Congrattions! You havepleted Grade D level up mission: Kill a Grade D Superhuman!]


    [You have been rewarded with a sessful level up perk!]


    Do you want to use it now?


    ----


    "Yes".


    [Affirmative!]


    Instantly, Legs''s Grade D level up process began.

    ----


    The level up process was notplicated unlike Lucky who had to literally sleep for months, it started and ended in a jiffy for Legs.


    As soon as the process came to an end, Legs felt boundless energy flowing through his body. On opening his eyes, he saw his new concentrated jade green summoner energy gently flowing around his body like water.


    As this process happened in the cave, it already drew the attention of the others as Prince Christensen watched curiously alongside the beasts.


    The Prince already knew what was happening and he felt d.


    Legs closed his eyes as he basked in the moment and felt all the changes that went through his body. He was not a Pugilist though, he could not explore his body as effortlessly as those freaks could.


    In the end, he turned to his system for help to see his newly updated status.

    ----


    "¡­1-100?" Legs''s eyes bulged to the limit on seeing his luck stat.


    After years of his luck points getting stuck at 1 despite all his effort to increase it, Legs already got resigned to his fate as a man without luck, he never expected the tides of his fate to change at this very moment.


    He felt extremely emotional. "The months spent around Lucky were not in vain, that mischievous Fox is indeed a goodpanion".


    "Damn, exam answer sheets really get filled most at thest minute". Legs was ecstatic at this discovery.


    Apart from his luck points that increased, Legs felt a strange feeling of achievement engulf him as he looked at his new system status.


    Even in his previous life as a yer, he always felt a sense of achievement when his strength grew. This time was no different and it was even more potent since he felt the energy increase even more personally.


    Compared to the first time that he checked his virtual interface status after reincarnating into this world, his status was miles better now.


    Through the interface status, he already got a basic idea of things that he should prioritize to build himself and to protect himself from death.


    Legs soon turned around to face Prince Christensen. "Were you serious when you said that you wanted to learn from me?"


    Prince Christensen''s eyes lit up. "Yes, I was serious!"


    "You don''t mind my real age as a teenager?"


    "It doesn''t matter to me". Prince Christensen spoke almost instinctively.


    "After I lost my parents, life became much more open to me, I started realizing my inadequacies". He looked straight at Legs. "I want to be like you, I want to be strong enough to protect myself and those that I love".


    "Good". Legs nodded. "If that is your decision, then we need to set some rules that would guide our rtionship as master and student".


    "First, you must always obey my instructions".


    "Yes, master".


    "Second, you must never do anything that will harm the faction or its members".


    "Yes, master".


    "Third, work hard¡­, that''s the only way that you''llst under me".


    Legs took it a step further. "From the first day that I met you, I knew that you had a lot of hidden potential".


    "Really?" Christensen was shocked. "You think I have potential for greatness?"


    "Yes". Legs nodded confidently. "I will help you realize your potential".


    "Fourth¡­"


    "Oh, there''s another one?"


    "You must always obey my instructions". This time, Legs said it with an unsmiling face and as Christensen looked at him, this prince shuddered.


    "Take this book". Legs threw a book at him.


    Prince Christensen grabbed the book and looked at it curiously. On the front page of the book were 2 warriors, one of them held a pistol and was aiming at something, the other seemed to be an adept boxer in a boxing stance.


    Legs exined. "That book contains the agent subss".


    "To learn under me, the first step is for you to ovee your fears".


    "Summoners are fragile superhumanspared to the other sses, yes, but its not a ticket for us to be cowards".


    Legs''s voice turned deep. "I believe in gym-freak Summoners".


    "Apart from controlling and giving your beasts instructions, a good summoner should learn to join when necessary to help his beasts in battle".


    "You have a week to fully learn the agent subss".


    Prince Christensen''s eyes widened. "I can''t¡­, I can''t do it, it took me more than a month before I was able to learn my first basic Summoner knowledge".


    "That was when you were still a prince, now you''re my student".


    "If you fail to learn it in a week, you will no longer be my student". Legs spoke in a strict tone then he rxed a bitter.


    "But if you seed, you''ll prove yourself able to achieve your great potential and I will reward you with the Shepherd Intermediate Summoner knowledge".


    Prince Christensen''s eyes widened in shock, he opened his mouth about to say something but he paused as Legs said onest word.


    "I believe in you, I know you can do it".


    "¡­"


    These were not the words that a 15-year-old should be saying to a 20-year-old, but Christensen already stopped seeing Legs like a kid long ago.


    Those words ignited a fire in him that he could not exin, he felt his heart burning as he clenched his fists. "I''ll do my best".


    "Good". Legs finally stood up. "Stand up, we''re leaving".


    "Where to?"


    "The Mikaryat Mountains are no longer safe for us, the Clown Society would be searching for us all over. I intend to go to the desert, I have a friend there".


    "¡­" Prince Christensen hesitated for a few seconds then he mustered the courage to speak.


    "There was a ne¡­" He paused then continued. "There is a gold ne that my mother gave to me, I dropped it in the pce when Butler Damien helped me escape, it is myst surviving memory of my parents".


    "And you want to get it back". Legspleted the sentence for him.


    Christensen looked down, feeling slightly ashamed. "Yes".


    "Ok". Legs nodded. "We''ll be going to the Palm Ind then, get ready".


    Christensen was shocked then he bowed emotionally. "Thanks boss, I will never forget this".

 Chapter 68 End Of Beta Testing..., Dominator TV

    -----


    [Global Announcement!]


    [Beta testing period has ended!]


    [Retrieving beta test information¡­, retrievalplete!]


    [All yers will be logged out of the game in the next 2 minutes.]


    [Do well to select an appropriate spawn point before the time pses.]


    ----


    Ghost Sentry had a nostalgic expression on his face as soon as he saw the global announcement. In his years of ying a game, he had never been as attached to a virtual reality game as he did with Dominator.


    Everything was just too realistic to be true. The graphics, the world background, the NPC characters and their conversations, everything was just perfect. He fell in love with the game in just 10 game days.


    "I''m going to miss this game man".


    Blue River smiled. "It''s just 2 weeks, chill".


    "I know but it feels to me like forever". Ghost Sentry said as he looked all around him in awe. "I think I''ll miss Legs even more".


    "Aha!" Blue River pped his hands and rushed closer to Ghost Sentry.


    "I almost forgot". He smiled widely. "Congrattions brother, you finally did it! You have received an official invitation to the Blue Autumn Team".


    "Ah¡­!" Ghost Sentry was shocked. "As a professional gamer?"


    "Yes, as a professional gamer". Blue River smiled proudly.


    "Yes!" Ghost Sentry jumped in joy. "F*cking yes! I did it!"


    Both of them celebrated for a few seconds before they remembered that the time was ticking. They were not in much of a rush though since they already set their spawn point long before now.


    What was needed from Ghost Sentry now was his signature.


    "Take". Blue River brought a virtual contract. "This is the virtual contract, sign it and we''ll meet in the real world to finalize the physical contract".


    "If you like, we can do everything today and you''ll get to meet your teammates". Blue River winked. "You can even get to meet the Sword God".


    Ghost Sentry shivered in excitement as he whispered. "Really?"


    "Yeah".


    "F*cking yes!" He jumped for joy again. "Where''s the signature? I mean, the contract¡­, where is it?"


    "Here boy". Blue River soon presented the contract.


    Ghost Sentry did not spend much time on it as he rapidly skimmed through it then he put his signature, Leo with an inverted U going in-between it.


    "Is your real name Leo?"


    "Yeah". Ghost Sentry smiled.


    "Ok Leo, wee to the Blue Autumn Team".


    "Thanks boss".


    "One thing before we leave". Blue River forced a serious expression on his face as he whispered. "Do not ever tell any other guild or yer about Legs, I have a hunch that he''s a main character in the 1st version of the game".


    "What of Horny Assassin?"


    "Don''t worry about him, my colleagues already contacted him".


    "Ok boss".


    By now, 2 minutes already psed, it was time to leave.


    [Warning! You have only 10 seconds remaining.]


    [Logging out in 10¡­, 9¡­, 8¡­, please wait¡­]


    [Logging outplete!]


    ¡­


    Dominator''s beta testing took the world by storm.


    The adverts of the game already left countless throats salivating like smanders for the eventualunch, but after the beta testing, the hype for the new VR game rose to a new peak.


    News about how awesome the game was dominated news and reality shows, even adults were hyped for the game, it was the perfect tform to escape reality.


    Like most sessful virtual reality games, once the hype increased to a certain high, the developers created a special team to run the media. Dominator TV soon became the most watched channel in millions of homes.


    Today, Dominator TV was once again about to ride the momentum as they set up a show to address the information about the game from the beta testing.


    After hours of waiting, 8:00pm finally clocked.


    "Hello everyone, my name is Kate Catherine and here with me on this special TV show is Dave Simmons, a retired professional gamer".


    "Hi Dave, how was your day?"


    "It was awesome Kate, I was restless all day thinking of the show".


    "Well, I''ll have to say most of our viewers will agree with you on that. What''s your take on our special guests of the show today?"


    "Well, just one word for them, excellent!" Dave smiled widely. "I heard the Blue Autumn Team benefited the most from the beta testing and it''ll only go a long way in their pursuit of finishing the new Dominator league as champions".


    "I agree with you on that Dave but we''ll have to hear from our guests themselves". Kate smiled and focused on the camera. "Dear viewers, stay tuned as the Blue Autumn Team is about to enter the scene".


    "For those who don''t know, the Blue Autumn Team is one of the big 3 Chinese game teams with two 1st runner up International tournament records under their belt and a whole lot of other history".


    As she introduced them, the professional yers walked on stage. Only 3 yers from the team came, alongside the guild leader and a new face.


    Kate smiled amiably after they took their seats. "Wee Sword God Henry¡­"


    The funky-styled haired youth stopped her on time. "No real names in the show, people know us by our game I. Ds so call us by our game names".


    "Ok boss, Sword God Raining Sword". Kate bowed, inducingughter from the audience.


    "So, the spotlight is on you today as the captain and best yer of the Blue Autumn Team, what do you think of the new game?"


    "Well, it''s awesome, I didn''t get to y the beta testing but the leader of our guild did so we were able to get a good overview of the game".


    "Oh, a guild as big as yours didn''t manage to get you a ticket?"


    The Sword God rubbed his nose. "Cough¡­, well, you can say I had a small beef with the club but let''s leave that for another time".


    Kate didn''t press him on that. "So, who is our blonde-haired new face?"


    "Oh, that''s Leo, he''s the new signing of the Blue Autumn Team, he yed in the beta testing alongside our guild leader, Jax".


    "Wow, he''s the famous Ghost Sentry?"


    "Huh¡­, how did you know about his game I.D?"


    Kate ignored the Sword God and focused on the new face. On noticing the whole attention turning towards him, Leo fidgeted a bit and scratched his head before asking the same question. "How did you know my game I.D?"


    "Oh boy, you''ll know soon, y the clip".


    The next moment, Leo and Jax''s jaws dropped as a familiar clip yed. This was the exact scene where the both of them alongside Legs, the special NPC character soloed the boss level swordmaster and killed him.


    But this clip was only supposed to be in the hands of the team, Jax already warned Leo not to reveal it, so how did it be exposed?


    "How did you get it?" Jax could no longer keep his silence as he asked.


    "We have our ways boss". Kate winked and smiled.


    Till the action stacked clip finished ying, Jax was absentminded thinking about what happened. He didn''t even listen to the rest of the show.


    "So, there you have it guys, Dominator definitely has the potential to be the most popr and beloved VR game of all time".


    "If you haven''t bought it yet, you''d better do and not miss out".


    "Before we leave, our highlight is the Blue Autumn Team''s marvelous heroics in getting us a spoiler". Kate ced her hands on her mouth like a funnel and whispered. "The special NPC¡­"


    With that, the show finally came to an end.


    As soon as it ended, Jax rushed outside, leaving the others as he dialed a number. It rang for a few seconds before the person at the other end picked.


    "Hey boss, wassup?"


    "The f*ck you wassuping about? You sent that clip, right?"


    "Hey boss, I''m not guilty".


    "You f*cking breached a contract!"


    "I didn''t, I swear boss, I sold it way before you called me for a contract".


    Jax rubbed his head as he felt a headacheing. "By the way, how did you get the clip, weren''t you supposed to be dead having used all your revive chances?"


    "Hehe, it was a miracle. I didn''t know it was set, but yers in the same faction even when logged out can ess what the other yers recorded".


    "I witnessed your epic battle and saw its potential for money¡­"


    "Then you sold it to Dominator TV?"


    "Yes boss, I didn''t know they would upload it¡­"


    "¡­" Jax stared at his phone speechlessly


    "Don''t worry boss, I told them not to upload it on the so even if they did it on their show, it can''t show on the right?"


    Jax clenched his phone till it cracked. "F*CKING HORNY ASSASSIN!!!"

 Chapter 69 Luckys Adventures In The Beast Plane

    Rustle! Rustle!


    The grass and the leaves of the trees danced to the tone of the night breeze.


    The greenery of the forest now had a tone of dark and red to it as the red moon shone its light on the forest. Like the sun, the moon served as the night supplement that supported the growing ecosystem of this forest.


    The dancing grass and leaves of the giant trees were just one part of the forest, the more passive side. The more active side of the forest was dangerous.


    A group of ants moved through the bare forest floor, taking advantage of their small size and the moon as camouge to blend into the night without being seen. They remained sessful for the most part as they searched for food.


    A few minutester, they were marching back to their hideout with particles of food and grass on their mandibles.


    While they marched, a pair of eyes watched them from the dark.


    As the ants marched underneath a fallen green leaf on the ground, a pair of raptiorial wsunched out like a spring. The praying mantis who remained hidden since got its food as it ruthlessly killed some of the ants.


    Having hid in the green grass since, its patience paid as it feasted on its food happily. As soon as it finished eating though, it felt the grass behind it shudder.


    With a slight whooshing sound, the tongue of a chameleon who also changed its color to blend with the surrounding greenery arrived, grabbing the mantis like a glue and retracting as the chameleon easily swallowed its prey.


    It was a never-ending circle, and as all this happened, for the most parts, the forest remained dark and silent like nothing happened.


    In other parts of the forest, themotion was bigger.


    The grass rustled sharply as a small rabbit rushed through an underbush in search of food. In no time, it soon discovered a small shriveled grass growing a nut on its flower, the excited rabbit grabbed the nut and started chewing away.


    It barely started chewing before a slight hissing sound reverberated.


    Before the rabbit could understand what was happening, the python wrapped it from the legs rapidly, giving it no time to react as it soon started swallowing it. The rabbit struggled but it could not overpower the python.


    At other parts of the forest, it was noisier as growls and roars reverberated, life went on as beasts preyed and fed on other beasts.


    After wandering for days in the beast ne, Lucky found herself here. Despite her incredible luck, till now, she was yet to find another fox.


    After leaving Legs, she set out to build her own fox pack. She was unsessful though as she didn''t even know where to find foxes, and the worst part of it all was the constant threat to her life.


    Lucky hid in the darkness with her eyes open and alertly watching her surroundings as she found it hard to sleep.


    Having been attacked more than 8 times since she entered this forest in just 2 days, she dared not sleep out of fear of being killed.


    Her only saving grace was that in the night under the illumination of the moon, all her attributes increased by 50%.


    As she watched alertly, she suddenly felt a shift in the air.


    Whoosh!


    The huge Owl descended from a nearby tree with swift momentum.


    Lucky reacted instantly as she sprang up from the under bush where she hid. Having fended for herself and fought for her life for over a week already, her danger and battle instincts already developed than before.


    Lucky dashed to the side, barely dodging the deadly lunge of the Owl as she turned with a furious expression on her face to retaliate against the Grade E Owl.


    Lucky instinctively activated both her Calm Fighter and Moon Power skills.


    The Owl pped its powerful wings with the intention to stabilize itself in the air but Lucky was having none of that as she dived into the air to meet it.


    Once her altitude was high enough, her ws became engulfed with a sharp wind energy as she wed at the Owl with all the strength she could muster.


    The Owl hooted loudly as the w tore a hole through its powerful wing. Then it went berserk as it retaliated against Lucky like a rabid dog.


    For a few minutes, Fox and Owl went back and forth as they fought aggressively. Amid the chaos though, the one constant was that every probability rted oue always came out in Lucky''s favor.


    Under her luck glow, the Owl was so unlucky that Lucky finally snapped its neck after onest explosive effort. She didn''t escape the battle unscathed though.


    The pain from her injuries made her sob. "Am I really so lucky? Legs always say I am so lucky yet I always get injured when fighting against an equal".


    Though she already grew to mature far beyond her age, in the end, she was still a new-born fox that was not even 6 months old yet.


    The pain made her scared but it also made her stronger. After the insult from Predator and Legs, she was determined to save her face and if that meant enduring pain and injuries, she would enjoy it.


    "I will never sumb to defeat!" She encouraged herself and went deeper into the forest. That night, it was like a force was leading her.


    She encountered 3 more battles all against ferocious beasts that left her injured. After everything though, she went deep inside the forest until she saw the entrance to a strange cave.


    Skeletons of different beasts filled the entrance to the cave.


    Lucky was wary but her nose detected a scent that was calling towards her from inside the cave. She was scared but she trusted her instincts and went in.


    All the way through, skeletons filled the cave.


    She went deep enough until she arrived before a huge circr expanse inside the cave, a voice reverberated as soon as she arrived.


    "They once tried to take my cave, they ended up as skeletons instead".


    Lucky activated her Moon Power skill again but she was not attacked, it took a few seconds before she calmed down. On looking closer, this was when she discovered the beast that startled her, he was¡­ a fox.


    "Wee to my hideout, I sensed your energy 2 days ago when you entered the forest and I used my abilities to direct you here".


    "My name is Redmane, I am a Red Fox".


    Lucky kept her distance as she watched this first beast of her species that she had ever met with curiosity and wariness.


    The fox didn''t mind as he turned to face her.


    "I know you want to be a Grade D Fox, I can help you".


    Lucky was attracted by that but the fear and wariness that she grew to develop with experience after spending a week in the wild held her from replying immediately as she just kept on looking at this fox.


    "Why did you direct me here?" She finally asked.


    "Because you have a bloodline of royalty". The Red Fox turned to face her and bowed. "Please let me be your follower, my Lord".


    Lucky looked with a confused expression on her face. "Huh?"

 Chapter 70 Going To The Palm Island

    "Boss, it''s been a week already, do you think we''re ready now?"


    Prince Christensen asked as he peeked at the nearby harbor from behind the rocks where they hid a few meters away.


    "Yes, I think we are ready". Legs replied as he brought out a familiar potion, he uncapped the bottle and drank the potion in no time.


    -----


    You have ingested a Potion: Ultimate Man Potion!


    ----


    As soon as Legs drank the potion, the effects were instant as his body started morphing again into the adult face and body that Prince Christensen already grew to be familiar with.


    Despite seeing this process more than once already since bing Legs''s student, Christensen never failed to get creeped out by the sight.


    Once the transformation wasplete, Legs turned to face Christensen. "For the past week, we have been collecting information about the Palm Ind".


    "To infiltrate sessfully and get your mother''s ne without dying, we need to have a good knowledge about the new look of the ind under your sisters who are out to kill you".


    "Apart from that, I decided to collect information for a week because of the Clown Society. They''ve been pretty angry and active recently".


    After the attack on the swordmaster hideout, this notorious evil organization was stunned as Legs instantly rose close to the top of their list of targets to kill.


    With that change in status, he also needed to improvise to save his life.


    "Also, I needed to know what other benefits we can gain from going to the Palm Ind. How many Summoner knowledge did you say you can get again?"


    Christensen scratched his head. "If I y my cards right, I believe I can get all the Basic Summoner knowledge including 2 Intermediate Summoner knowledge".


    "Nice". Legs gave a thumb up. "What about the beast?"


    "The Chefron?"


    "Yes".


    "It''s bred in the royal pool, I don''t know if we can ess it".


    "We need to try". Legs was firm.


    "Ok". Christensen nodded.


    Over the cause of 1 week, Christensen grew to understand his master better. Legs was kind to those he was close to and was ruthless to strangers, and his core trait was that of always wanting to benefit from every situation.


    Like Legs always said. "If you don''t gain, you lose".


    After agreeing to take him to the Palm Ind to get the ne back, Legs also made known his desire to benefit as much as possible from the trip.


    If they could get all 8 Basic Summoner knowledge and 2 Intermediate Summoner knowledge, it would be great benefit already. As for the Chefron, Legs imed that he needed its breast milk to perfect his potion.


    Legs finally stood up to leave. "Sorry for the trouble but I need the Chefron, it''s breast milk can perfect the Ultimate Man Potion".


    "Take, drink this, you also need to change your appearance".


    Christensen nodded and drank the potion as he followed Legs to the nearby harbor. By the time that they got to the harbor, Christensen''s facial look already changed, his blonde hair turned dark.


    Due to hisck of sea beasts, Legs decided to take a boat.


    Despite a long time having passed already, the money that he gained from the transaction with Christensen some time ago was still much. He didn''t have any trouble paying for the trip to the Palm Ind.


    Once they boarded the boat, it sailed away.


    ¡­


    The Palm Ind was like an oversized castle.


    Despite the huge size of the ind, the prosperous Palm Royal family built a huge city wall that epassed the whole ind. Like its name, the Palm Ind was characterized by the numerous beautiful palm trees that adorned it.


    Legs and Christensen arrived at their destination after an hour on the sea.


    There was only 1 official entrance into the prosperous ind and it was through the big gate. As soon as the boat docked at the harbor, Legs and Christensen underwent a security search which they came out from clean.


    Prior to moving, they already sent all their beasts to the beast ne including all their weapons, they needed toe in clean to avoid any suspicions.


    As soon as Christensen stepped foot inside the city walls, he paused for a few seconds as he was overwhelmed by a deep feeling of nostalgia.


    "Hey, we need to move".


    Legs had to urge him to move to avoid any early suspicions.


    They located an inn where they paid money before settling in. As soon as they settled down, Legs brought out a map of the pce that Christensen drew.


    Christensen was a good for nothing prince who enjoyed meaningless hobbies, and one of his hobbies was drawing maps of the huge pce.


    After confirming that no one was watching them, Legs asked. "Where are we going first? We need to have a systematic approach".


    "It''ll be easier to ess the royal Summoner school, that is where I''ll get the Summoner knowledges. As for the ne, I''ll get it in my room".


    "Getting the Chefron''s breast milk is the realplicated part".


    "Don''t worry about that, we''ll sort it out after getting there". Legs said as he activated the Beast ne Summoning active ability, bringing out 2 storage rings.


    He threw Christensen''s storage ring at him. "Let''s go".


    "Remember, try to stay normal, stealth is the priority".


    "Yes boss".


    With that, both of them left and blended into the crowd outside.


    ¡­


    Inside the Palm Ind Pce, inside the Queens'' chambers.


    After the death of the previous King, while the sole Crown Prince went missing, the 2 princesses naturally took over the throne and became Queens.


    At this moment, inside this most respected chamber of the ind were 2 warriors giving orders to the new Queens of the ind.


    "Prince Christensen escaped".


    "Wow! How? He was never known for being a hardcore". The casual and nonchnt response of the sisters showed how much they looked down on their brother, the 2 Blue Masters did not mind it.


    "He had aide, do you know any close friends of the prisoner?"


    "Hmmm". The elder sister held her chin. "Christensen can''t have friends, he''s too foolish for that, all his friends are only there to use him, they would have long abandoned him in his moment of need".


    "It doesn''t matter if he has no friends". The Blue Master''s tone turned harsh. "What matters is that the prisoner is on the loose after killing a Red Master".


    "The Clown is furious and demands your full support in finding him".


    "We acknowledge the orders of the great Clown". Both Queens agreed.


    Once the Blue Masters left, they turned towards each other in amusement. "Christensen escaped? How? They even say he has friends¡­, ridiculous!"


    They bothughed over the matter but since the Clown was furious, they had to at least make an attempt. One of them made a suggestion.


    "You remember that gold ne that mom gave to him?"


    "Yeah".


    "I think he left it behind when that old fox took him to escape, let''s take it and im we tried our best to look for clues".


    "Yeah, you do that".


    The 2 sisters soon went different ways.

 Chapter 71 Intermediate Summoner Knowledge- Beast Integration

    The Palm Royal Pce was built in the shape of a dome.


    Prince Christensen exined as he stared at this huge pce that was once his home. "The Palm Royal family has a deep heritage".


    "ording to my father, our reign over the Palm Ind started from the very beginning when our became exposed to the wonders of super energy".


    "Our Ancestors were among the very first superhumans".


    "Before they gave authority over the ind to their descendants, our ancestors created an insider organization to bnce the power and authority that would be in the hands of the next uing King or Queen".


    "The King only has 40% of the powers of the ind, the remaining 60% power belongs to the Council of the Elders".


    "I''ve never met them but my father told me a lot about them. There are 6 main elders, and ording to my father, they are all Grade D Superhumans".


    "They are the reason why the Palm Royal family maintained its rule and sovereignty over the ind for so long".


    Legs turned to look at Christensen. "So, why didn''t they stop the Clown Society from running amok in the ind?"


    "That''s the problem, they never get involved in mundane affairs".


    Christensen sighed. "ording to the rules that were created and enforced by the first Ancestors, they only intervene in the affairs of the ind when the safety of the ind is at stake".


    "After my parent''s deaths, my 2 sisters took over, bing the new Queens of the ind and thereby continuing the legacy of the Palm Royal bloodline".


    "The elders are rigid, so long as the throne is not empty, they will not intervene. They believe in the myth of letting fate take its course".


    Prince Christensen took his time to exin much about the pce to Legs as they used the same time to continue their preparations.


    "How much longer till theye?" Legs asked.


    "2 to 5 minutes at most now"


    Sneaking into the pce with their own abilities was too risky, they were not Elementalists or Pugilists who had a lot of personal battle skills.


    As Summoners, they mostly relied on their contracted beasts to do most things and both of them did not have a beast that was proficient in stealth and infiltration abilities, they had to formte another n.


    After quizzing Christensen enough, Legs discovered that the royal Summoner school receive supplies every week and today was the day.


    Legs easily decided for them to blend among the suppliers.


    As they spoke, the sounds of hooves hitting the ground soon reverberated. Christensen and Legs remained still in their hiding as they looked ahead only to see dozens of Earth Horses turning the bend and heading towards the pce.


    Earth Horse was a variant of horses that had higher durability, defense, and stability. They were used by the suppliers mostly because of their stability.


    After all the horses crossed, as thest Earth Horse also turned the bend that led to the royal pce, Christensen and Legs finally struck.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    ----


    Bam!


    The coachman was surprised by the sudden sound as he turned back to look at the carriage. "Masters, are you alright".


    "¡­" It took some time which was strange but the reply soon came in a weird way that left the coachman red-faced.


    "Haa¡­, haa¡­"


    "Slower please¡­, don''t disturb the coachman¡­, haa¡­"


    "¡­" The innocent coachman was left regretting his show of concern as he turned back with a red-face and inwardly swore not to care anymore.


    With that, the infiltration was sessful. Prince Christensen and Legs rode the momentum of the suppliers and easily made their way into the pce.


    The part that followed after this was harder.


    As soon as all the carriages stopped, Prince Christensen and Legs in their new disguise also came down as they watched the masters of the Royal Summoner school inspecting the new batch of supplies.


    When one of the masters came close enough to inspect the new goods, Christensen held him on the hand. "Master Dan, it''s me, Christensen". He whispered to the shock of this schr.


    "Ahem¡­" The middle-aged man coughed. "There''s a problem with this carriage supply, these 2 suppliers will follow me in to rectify the problem".


    "But we inspected them¡­"


    "Humph! You dare call me a liar?"


    "No sir¡­"


    "Then keep quiet and let me verify things with them".


    Without giving the others a reasonable exnation, Master Dan grabbed Christensen and Legs as he led the 2 of them inside the Summoner school.


    Once they were out of the public eye, this master turned to face the 2 of them, shocked. "Little Christensen, is that really you?"


    "Yes, its me, Master Dan, I changed my appearance with a potion".


    The middle-aged man didn''t care, he grabbed Christensen in an emotional embrace before he started lecturing him. "Why are you here? Why did youe back? If your sisters know, you''ll be dead".


    "I need your help Master Dan". Christensen looked him in the eye. "I need all the Basic Summoner knowledge and the 2 Intermediate Summoner knowledge".


    "If I am to survive alone outside, I need them".


    Master Dan gritted his teeth. "I would love to help you but after the upheaval, your sisters came and took one of the Intermediate Summoner knowledge and gave it to those psychopaths".


    "It''s now kept in their exclusive library in the school".


    "This also includes most of the basic summoner knowledges, they basically run the school now, we obey their every whim".


    "What are the 2 Summoner knowledge? Legs finally spoke sinceing.


    "He is?" Master Dan turned to face Christensen who answered fast.


    "This is Master Legs, he saved me and is now my master, he is a Grade D Summoner". Christensen left nothing untouched in the introduction.


    Once he heard that Legs was a Grade D Summoner, Master Dan''s attitude underwent a great U-turn as his respect for Legs flew through the roof.


    "Great master, the 2 Intermediate Summoner knowledge are the Beast Integration and Enhanced Leadership knowledge".


    "They took the more important Beast Integration knowledge".


    "Beast Integration¡­?" Legs''s eyes widened in shock.


    ''I never expected to see this knowledge here''. Legs was surprised as he thought about how the goddess of luck seemed to smile at him again.


    The same way that the Beast ne Metaphysics was the most important Basic Summoner knowledge, so also was Beast Integration the most important Intermediate Summoner knowledge, he was determined to get it.


    Though he wanted to know a lot more right now, he could not afford it, they were now deep in enemy territory and Master Dan could not keep this fa?ade for long.


    "Bring the avable Enhanced Leadership".


    "Yes, great master".


    A few minutester, Master Dan returned with a huge tome. As soon as Legs ced his hands on it, his virtual interface lit up.


    -----


    Intermediate Summoner knowledge detected: Enhanced Leadership!


    Automatically learning summoner knowledge¡­, progress 75%


    Learning progressplete- 100%


    You have learned your first Intermediate Summoner Knowledge!


    ----


    Legs''s eyes constricted in joy. The Enhanced Leadership knowledge massively increased the leadership, authority, and control of a Summoner over his beasts and over the beasts in his herd.


    He turned to face Master Dan. "Take it back, I already made a copy of it".


    "So fast?"


    "Yes".

 Chapter 72 A Test

    "So fast?"


    Legs was surprised at first on being asked before he soon remembered that he was the only NPC with a virtual interface, he improvised with an excuse on the spot. "Yes, I made preparations before now".


    "One of my beast pets is good at recording, he recorded it".


    "Oh, as expected of the great master".


    As Master Dan and Prince Christensen focused on praising his feat, Legs put his attention back on their current situation. Apart from Christensen''s goal, his main motivation for taking this risk was for benefits.


    If he could get only the Beast Integration Summoner knowledge, then this risk was well worth it already, every other gain would be bonus.


    Despite the benefits, to survive, he needed to calcte urately.


    ''With the Enhanced Leadership, my control over Predator and the others would increase by at least 80%. Ak''s leadership over the wolves will also increase which will yield a great increase in my effectivebat strength''.


    ''In our present situation, I approximate an increase of 20%''.


    Considering the benefits that were up for grabs, an increase of 20% in his effectivebat strength gave him the courage to go through with his n.


    A 20% increase due to just 1 ss knowledge was pretty ridiculous, but this was the difference between intermediate and basic summoner knowledges.


    Legs turned to face Master Dan. "How can I ess the exclusive library of the psychopaths of the Clown Society?"


    Master Dan sighed with a deted shoulder. "Great master, I don''t advise that, their exclusive library is one of the most defended locations in the pce".


    "I heard that it''s where all their higher-ups stay".


    Legs was determined to get his hands on the Beast Integration knowledge, but he would notmit suicide to achieve his goal. If Master Dan so vehemently opposed it, he was obliged to lessen his stance on his goal.


    "Then, if we can''t ess their exclusive library, we need your help to ess the prince''s room".


    Master Dan turned to face Christensen who exined through gritted teeth. "I forgot the ne that my mom gave to me, I just could not live with the fact of parting with it, it will serve as my motivation to grow stronger".


    "Ok, I will help you".


    ¡­


    2 minutester, Master Dan came back with the 2 suppliers that he previously left with. "They''re innocent". He announced haughtily.


    "It was a misjudgment on my part".


    Instead of getting annoyed at him, the leader of the supply group instead heaved a deep sigh of relief on hearing that. "Thank you master, I''m relieved to hear that, so can we offload the goods now?"


    "Yes, you can".


    "Thank you master".


    As the suppliers worked on offloading the supplies, Master Dan''s 2 apprentices who disguised as suppliers also joined in the work while Legs and Christensen already took a back road deep inside the pce.


    A few minutester, all the supplies were offloaded.


    "It was nice doing business with you, see youter". The leader of the supply group bade his farewell to the masters with a wide smile on his face.


    The supply group left not long after on their Earth Horses.


    ¡­


    Despite it not being long since the takeover, both Queens of the Palm Ind already made significant changes to theyout of the pce.


    Christensen needed Master Dan''s map to navigate through his own home.


    Navigation was hard though, after the takeover, perhaps to guard against scenarios like when their parents were killed, security increased in the pce.


    To get to Christensen''s room, they had to climb in through the fire vent at the ceiling. To do this, they did not have to go outside, they simply scaled through the stairs without being caught to the highest level of the pce.


    There, they entered the roof through the ceiling.


    To their shock, there were guards also in the roof.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    ----


    Legs pounced on them before they could ring the rm.


    After bringing down the 4 guards in quick session, he urged Christensen. "We need to move fast, it won''t take long before we are discovered".


    Legs sprinted as he led Christensen through the maze-like structure of the roof until they arrived at the vent that led straight to Christensen''s room.


    Legs cut the corners of the vent with his dagger before entering, Christensen followed soon after as they made their way into the room.


    Thud! Thud!


    As soon as theynded, Christensen looked around in a daze. "Nothing changed¡­, it''s still my room".


    Bam!


    Legs smacked him on the head. "Reminisceter, find the ne now!"


    "Ahh¡­, yes, sorry boss".


    Christensen barely started walking before a click reverberated from the door, the doorknob twisted slightly then it opened to reveal a familiar face.


    "Bianca¡­?!"


    "What a surprise!" The intruder pped her hands, showing genuine surprise. "And what is my foolish little brother doing here? Looking for this?"


    As she raised her hands up, Legs''s eyes narrowed. ''Bianca, the Frost Artist''. At this moment, she looked nothing like her menacing self in the future.


    Bianca was a pale-skin beautiful youngdy with light blue hair, light blue eyebrows, and light blue lips. She had an innocent demeanor, but knowing her, Legs knew that this was all a fa?ade.


    "H-how did you know that I was here?" Christensen stammered.


    "Foolish brother, you never change, I guessed". She tsked her tongue in a teasing tone before finally turning to face Legs. "And what do we have here? Are the rumors true? You actually got a friend¡­"


    "Don''t disrespect my master!"


    "Oh¡­!


    A lot of things went through Legs''s mind in an instant as all this transpired, then he made a decision. "Change of ns Christensen".


    "Get your ne, I''ll go get the Chefron".


    Almost at the same time that he spoke, Legs retrieved his G-96 automatic pistols as he aimed at the blue little demon before pulling the trigger.


    Bianca dodged right on time, also activating her Ice Elementalist barrier as a second fool-proof n before the bullets left the muzzle.


    Legs did not intend to kill her though, he charged through the now open door outside straight towards the location of the pce pool.


    "Oh¡­, he left you? Funny¡­"


    "Shut up!" Christensen clenched his fists.


    Unlike before, Christensen grew to have respect and reverence for someone other than himself for the first time. He did not see Legs''s actions as abandoning him at this moment, he rather saw it as a test.


    He soon remembered Legs''s words. ''To learn under me, the first step is for you to ovee your fears''.


    "Ahhh!" Christensen charged towards his sister.

 Chapter 73 Taming The Chefron

    "Ahhh!" Christensen charged towards his sister.


    Bianca was briefly caught off-guard by her brother''s bizarre actions, the Christensen that she knew would never have the guts to charge at her.


    "Damn, my baby boy developed some guts in very, nice". Bianca gave a thumb up as she finally roused her ice Elementalist powers.


    She gently tapped her feet on the floor, using the momentum of force to rise high into the air as cold mist was released from her blue gown, elevating herself above Christensen''s reach in the process.


    "Wow, you almost caught me". She pped.


    "Keep trying, I want to see your limits today".


    "I won''t be your toy today!" Christensen gritted his teeth as he red around the room, looking for an elevated tform tounch himself.


    As soon as his eyes locked with the nearby sofa, Christensen did not hesitate as he charged with all his might at it beforeunching himself into the air straight at his sister who was once again surprised at his determination.


    Like expected, Bianca easily dodged his lunge.


    Christensen did not give up as he simply went at it again, using the sofa as a tform to elevate himself higher. Multiple times, he came close to grabbing her but Bianca simply floated in the sky in her cool mist, toying with him.


    For minutes, he gritted his teeth and gave his best to retrieve the ne only to end up fooling himself more and more before his sister.


    "I won''t back down this time!" Christensen yelled and went at it again.


    This time, his eyes flickered with an ominous light.


    This time, Christensen did not just aim for the ne again. Fed up at being mocked already, he clenched his fist and punched with all his might.


    Boom!


    Bianca felt cold sweat evaporate from her face as she barely dodged the punch that seemed toe from a prime Pugilist.


    She stared at Christensen in shock after descending due to the punch.


    Christensen fell down awkwardly after exerting himself through the punch as he bruised his knees, he stood up staggering.


    Christensen swallowed the pain and red at Bianca. "I won''t be mocked by you again!"


    "I won''t lose to you again!"


    "This, I promise!"


    As he said these words through gritted teeth, something seemed to click in him as Christensen finally got a concrete reason to be stronger.


    In the world of supers, without a concrete reason, it was hard to find the motivation to get stronger. Previously, he thought he would strive to get stronger to get revenge for his parents but innately, he was not the revenge type.


    Christensen finally found his super way. "I will keep on getting stronger until I overtake you and Hestia, that is my motivation!"


    As he spoke, Christensen finally started remembering the words in the agent subss scroll like he was in an inspired state. "Find your purpose, envision it, let go of your earthly tethers, empty and soar".


    "Soar¡­, that''s it!"


    Christensen charged again, this time as a different warrior. Once he discovered his motivation, he found the catalyst to learn the agent subss.


    Summoners and Elementalists were both paper sses who didn''t focus much on physical enhancement. By learning the agent subss now, Christensen got the physical edge over his sister.


    Bam!


    She was unable to dodge as the punch came straight to her nose, Bianca broke her nose and bled, Bianca was shocked.


    "Take that b*tch!" Christensen yelled.


    ¡­


    Legs''s decision to leave Christensen with his sister was made on a whim.


    On their first interaction as siblings in his presence, he was able to get a glimpse about Bianca''s personality. He instantly made a bold guess that Bianca would not end his brother''s life now which was why he left.


    On one hand, he gave Christensen a chance to prove that he was not a good for nothing. On the other hand, he was about to get his goal.


    Whoosh!


    Legs rapidly sprinted through the main corridor, attracting the attention of over a dozen guards as the rm to indicate an intruder finally rang.


    Wom! Wom! Wom!


    Legs ignored it all as he charged towards the central pool that was in the middle of the pce. Once he got there, he dived in.


    -----


    You have been swept by an energy check


    ----


    As soon as he dived into the pool, Legs felt the familiar feeling of an energy check sweeping through him, he went alert immediately as all the knowledges of a Chefron started flooding back into his mind.


    Being one of the producers to coin out the idea to create the special beast, Chefron, Legs knew a lot about it. "They''re unorthodox beasts".


    "They have immense control over their mana so much that even without developing up to the Grade C realm, they can use an energy check".


    "They are powerless, but are renowned speed demons!"


    "They can kill with their speed alone".


    "Their weakness is well¡­, chocte made into a lollipop shape".


    "Roar!!!"


    At the bottom of the deep central pooly the Chefron. Once it felt the intruder in the pool, it casually checked it out with its energy check.


    On discovering a human and with no food attached to this human, it exploded in a fit of rage as it exploded with unrealistic speed to finish him off.


    Whoosh!


    As soon as Legs heard the sound, he dared not try to see who was faster between him defending himself and the Chefron finishing him off.


    In the most awkward of poses, Legs fished out the chocte that he already prepared ahead of time for this situation as he felt the wind blowing across his face the next moment.


    The Chefron''s teeth stopped directly before the chocte, a fraction of a secondter and Legs would have lost his head.


    Legs counted to 3 in his mind before opening his eyes. He opened his eyes to see therge eyes of the Chefron staring at the chocte attentively.


    The Chefron was a massive one. Surprisingly, it was a Grade D beast already. Legs sweat bullets thinking of the repercussions if he was just a few millisecondste, he wiped off his imaginary sweat and carefully examined it.


    It was just like the beast that he created.


    The Chefron had the body of a Chinese dragon, a round head, and mane covering it like a male Lion''s. It had 4 legs with ws and paired with its powerful tail, they were its properties for its renown as a speed demon.


    Legs heaved a sigh of relief. "I added chocte as its favorite just on a whim back then¡­, phew, who thought it would be my saving grace now?"


    With the attention of the Chefron captured, Legs became confident.


    He held his breath in the water and waved the lollipop chocte to one side, the Chefron followed with its head. He waved it to another side and the Chefron followed, then he finally threw it in the water.


    The Chefron revealed its menacing teeth in a wide smile as it rushed at the lollipop chocte, inducing a mini sonic boom in the process.


    Boom!


    The guards rushed to the central pool only to hear the boom sound.


    "What happened?"


    "What is his motive? Do you think he''s dead?"


    Their answer came in the most direct manner possible, the Chefron charged out of the central pool with a human riding its back.


    "Roar!!!"


    "Surprise mother*ckers!"

 Chapter 74 Wreaking Havoc In The Palm Island

    "Surprise mother*ckers!"


    All the guards were left bbergasted as they looked in awe.


    "He''s riding the Chefron?"


    "Oh my¡­, god!" A guard grabbed his head. "That beast can be tamed?"


    "Damn, this mother*cker is so cool!"


    For years, these group of guards had been tasked with guarding the pool where the Chefron was kept. This dangerous beast could have escaped since but it was azy beast, so long as it was fed, it was not motivated to escape.


    The Chefron was the long-standing pet of all monarchs of Palm Ind. The beast was menacing but adorable, a crazy contrast but the palm royalty loved their pets that way, they admired from afar.


    These guards were veterans in rtion to the Chefron. Over their years of service, all of them agreed to one thing, the Chefron was a d*ck.


    The Chefron already had a notorious reputation as an untamable beast.


    Now that a master came from nowhere and tamed this beast in just a minute, being left in awe was an underestimation of their current feelings.


    With Legs on top it, the Chefron thrashed around the ce in excitement as it savored the aftertaste of the lollipop chocte that remained in its mouth.


    "What the f*ck are you all up to?!"


    A voice filled with rage soon reverberated, attracting the attention of all the guards that were present as they all shuddered on seeing the owner.


    Legs and the Chefron were also attracted by the loud voice as they turned in that direction only to see the younger Queen of Palm Ind.


    At this moment, Bianca was nothing like the charismatic and sarcastic self that Legs saw just a few minutes ago. Now, her light blue hair was rough and scattered and her pale face was as white as a white potato.


    Legs was surprised as he looked to the side in confusion only for Christensen to wave energetically at him. "Boss, I did it!"


    "I learned the agent subss, she''s proof". Christensen pointed at his sister. "Like you advised, I didn''t call Leo for help yet I trashed her with my fists alone".


    "Feels good man".


    "CHRISTENSEN!!!" Bianca exploded.


    "What are you still waiting for?! Get them!!!" Her white face turned blue.


    "Yes, Queen Bianca!"


    The guards finally came to their senses as they started organizing their formations to box the Chefron in and restrain it, they were wrong though, a Chefron was one beast that could not be restrained if it wanted.


    "Roar!"


    "Easy boy¡­" Legs patted it. "Follow my directives, we move at my signal".


    Shockingly, the Chefron understood as it nodded enthusiastically.


    The next moment, as the atmosphere turned chilly, Legs grabbed the mane of the Chefron with one hand while he raised his left hand with his G-96 automatic pistols up, then he pulled the trigger.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Whoosh!


    The red Chefron moved with such speed that all they saw was a red blur.


    The Chefron followed Legs''s orders, gently flicking Christensen into its back as it charged out of thepressed space out into the open.


    Boom!


    Its movements were explosive, its speed set off mini sonic booms.


    The escape of the Chefron set the whole pce into chaos. Surprisingly though, Legs was not taking this chance to escape with the Chefron, instead he was focused on wreaking havoc with this speed demon.


    While the guards tried to stop it to no avail, the Chefron thrashed around the pce, destroying things with its 2 upants that rode its back.


    "Yeah¡­, destroy this filthy pce!" Christensen yelled from its back.


    The joy of not only discovering his super way, but beating his sister, and riding a Chefron already set Christensen''s excitement levels at a peak.


    His eyes squinted in happiness as he cheered while the Chefron destroyed.


    As for Legs, he watched attentively from the Chefron''s back.


    The next moment, it came. "Who dares wreak havoc in my pce?"


    "Hestia, the Fiery Fairy!" Legs''s eyes squinted as this boss level character finally made her entrance into this chaotic battlefield.


    At this moment, Hestia was nothing but a Grade E fire Elementalist but knowing of her exploits in the future, Legs dared not underestimate her.


    He prompted the Chefron to dodge her fiery bomb attacks. With the 2 ice and fire sisters united, wreaking havoc became much harder for the Chefron.


    With her sister here, Bianca was emboldened. "Christensen,ing back here was your mistake, I will make sure the pce bes your grave!"


    "Not when master is here little Bianca, you couldn''t even beat me!"


    "Well¡­, that''s because she was not serious at first but nevermind". Legs left the siblings to continue their verbal war while he controlled the Chefron.


    Despite the 2 sister''s fearfulbination, the Chefron was called a speed demon for a reason. It remained elusive, causing trouble and wreaking havoc in the pce until what Legs wanted finally made its way out.


    The psychopaths of the Clown Society who were previously holed in their exclusive library finally got fed up as they came out to stop themotion.


    Leading them were not Blue Masters like Master Dan thought, leading them was a powerful Grade D Elementalist, a Red Master of the Clown Society.


    Legs''s eyes narrowed. ''Just like I suspected¡­"


    The 2 Queen sisters bowed as soon as the aging man entered the battlefield. "Master¡­"


    "Is this your brother that you always spoke of?"


    "Yes".


    "Then, it seems he came to seek his death¡­"


    Legs whispered something into the Chefron''s ear as the Red Master spoke, then the excited Chefron took it a step higher.


    BOOM!


    The Red Master barely finished speaking before a real sonic boom was finally induced just by the speed of this monster. By activating its special ability, the Chefron''s speed got so high that it broke the sound barrier.


    While everyone was still processing what just happened, the Chefron already arrived at the now deserted exclusive library of the Clown Society.


    Once it got there, Legs fought back his nausea and jumped down.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    ----


    He destroyed his way till he got to the deepest vault of the library.


    The lock to the vault was a riddle that could only be solved by Summoners who had incredible knowledge about the main ss, this was the worst locking method that they could have used against someone like Legs.


    [What goes in the water ck andes out red?]


    "Lobster". Legs answered confidently.


    [Correct!]


    [I have no sword, I have no spear, yet rule a horde which many fear, my soldiers fight with wicked sting, I rule with might, yet am no king. What am I?]


    Legs rubbed his chin then he smiled. "A queen bee".


    [Correct!]


    [My name is spelled simr to a type of alcohol, and like a drunk, I can sleep for a long long time. I also rhyme with the thing humans need the most. What am I?]


    "Too easy¡­, a bear".


    [Correct!]


    [Stealthy as a shadow in the dead of night, cunning but affectionate if given a bite. Never owned but often loved. At my sport considered cruel but that''s because you never know me at all. What am I?]


    "Hehe¡­, a cat".


    [Correct!]


    Click!


    The door to the vault opened with a click.


    Without hesitation, Legs dipped his hand in and grabbed the tome that was thickest than all the others that were stored inside the vault.


    -----


    Intermediate Summoner Knowledge detected: Beast Integration!


    ----


    "Keep it¡­" Legs turned around. "Chefron boy, let''s move!"


    "Roar!

 Chapter 75 Putting On A Show

    "Chefron boy¡­, let''s move!"


    "Roar!"


    The Chefron turned around enthusiastically as it got prepared to escape. Getting the Beast Integration summoner knowledge was priority, Legs could get all the other basic summoner knowledgeter just by putting in some effort.


    Whoosh!


    The massive Chefron charged out energetically, barging its way out of the exclusive library again as warriors and obstacles were sent flying.


    The Chefron was simply too fast for these slowpokes.


    Legs arrived at the exclusive library, got what he wanted, and was about to escape in less than a minute, this was an incredible level of efficiency.


    On top the Chefron''s back, Christensen felt like he was on top of the world. "Whoooa! Hell ya! Get them Chefron!"


    Still on top the Chefron''s back, despite getting what he wanted again, Legs was still incredibly focused as his eyes stared attentively at his surroundings.


    Outside the exclusive library, dozens of psychopaths of the Clown Society already gathered and were ready to kill the Chefron but they just didn''t have the ability to do this. Legs soon found a hole in their formation.


    "Boy¡­, go this way!"


    "Roar!"


    The Chefron obeyed withoutints as it charged ahead.


    It barely started charging before Legs''s eyes squinted in rm, then he rapidly patted the Chefron, barely stopping it on time before a glowing blue film was erected in front of them that radiated a great amount of heat.


    The Chefron barely dodged this heat energy shield by a few centimeters.


    If its skin touched it, the Chefron would have been scorched and injured.


    "A customized energy shield". Legs''s eyes narrowed.


    The next moment, the culprit behind this finally arrived.


    "Thieves! How dare you steal from my library?!"


    The old Elementalist and reinforcements came to support the psychopaths guarding the exclusive library. Not just the 2 Queens, but dozens of powerful superhuman warriors were gathered and were ready to corner the thieves.


    By now, the old Grade D Elementalist''s face already turned as green as a cucumber, testament of his current rage as fire raged all over his body.


    This was supposed to be intimidating, but it only felt funny to Legs. "Old man, is it good to heat your body so hot alone at such a young age?"


    "It''s better to leave it to the young babes, they''re good at it".


    "Insolence! How dare you insult me?!" The old man finally struck.


    Bzzz!


    He was a fire Elementalist just like Hestia but was much more powerful and finally, he flexed his powers, showing that he was not all talk and no action.


    The Chefron''s extreme reaction speed was the only thing that saved Legs and Christensen from sure death from the mighty firestorm that just destroyed arge part of the library as cold sweat filled their backs.


    "Damn!" Legs wiped his sweat then he turned to face his student. "Christensen, it''s time to leave this godforsaken ind but first, let''s leave them with a show to remember".


    "Let''s put on a show!"


    "Yes boss!" Christensen was hyped as he finally did the thing.


    As soon as he activated his summoner skill and called for his contracted beast, Leo''s powerful howl reverberated from afar as the powerful Frost Wolf finally left its hiding spot and started charging towards this battlefield.


    Legs did not stay idle as Christensen worked. Against a powerhouse like this old Elementalist, he dared not hold back.


    Infact, their live was in danger but to him, it was all worth it.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    "ROAR!!!"


    As soon as the rainbow bridge appeared, the enthusiastic Predator announced his presence powerfully, this was when the old Elementalist''s eyes finally constricted. "A Grade D Beast?!"


    "Awoo!" "Awoo!"


    This time, Ak did not let Predator to steal all the limelight.


    Like a battalion of soldiers marching to war, the Wind Wolf took the lead and charged out of the rainbow bridge as its warrior wolves charged after it.


    Ak started the attack by activating its nature call active ability. Before the enemies could understand what was going on, a massive hurricane came out of nowhere that swept dust and soldiers alike into the air.


    "Roar!" Not to be outdone, Predator finally charged in.


    2 Grade D Beasts were more than enough to keep the enemies busy for now.


    "Where is Lucky when I need her? That f*cking Fox!" Rex cursed slightly under his breath as he finally made his 2nd move.

    ----


    "That''s what I''m talking about baby!" This time, Legs was really excited.


    ----


    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration


    ----


    At this moment, Predator led the charge towards the old Elementalist.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Under the bombardment of fire and ice, this tenacious Nightmare Beast persevered through it all as he pushed through to his target while ignoring all the pain and injuries that were inflicted on him by the enemy attacks.


    As soon as Legs activated his new active ability, a rainbow glow appeared surrounding his index finger and the next moment, he pointed it at Predator.


    Whoosh!


    His body left its previous position and instantly became a bolt of light that charged forward before mming into Predator''s body to the beast''s shock.


    The next moment, the charging Nightmare Beast experienced a massive change that left not just the 2 Queens, but the old Elementalist in a shock.


    One of Predator''s eyes morphed the next moment before bing a human eye. Crackling sounds reverberated as Predator''s size grew longer while his muscles stretched, enabling him to stand upright like a Bear to better match the human physique.


    Predator stood up on 2 feet the next moment as a massive ck energy swept across with the Nightmare Beast at the center of it.

    ''Master, what''s going on?'' Predator asked telepathically in a panic.


    Legs stretched his neck in his new body. ''Chill buddy¡­, I''m now in control of your body, 55% is higher than I expected''.


    Legs finally opened his eyes in his new form.


    The eyes of his enemies widened in horror.


    "Surprise again mother*ckers!"


    "I told you to get prepared for a show".


    Boom!


    Legs charged towards the nearest enemy.

 Chapter 76 Elementalists Vs Summoners

    Legs and Predator''s transformation shocked every one in this battlefield as they had different reactions to it.


    Christensen''s eyes were filled with stars. "Master is awesome!"


    As for the old Elementalist, his eyes turned cold. "So, he already mastered the Beast Integration knowledge before now, what a troublesome opponent".

    [Remark: When fused with Predator, you''re a cheat code!]


    ----


    Boom!


    Legs crashed into the nearest psychopath, ending his life instantly.


    The only reason why he didn''t kill when he was still inside the pce building was because those guards were only responsible for guarding the Chefron. As for the psychopaths, they were the bad guys, they deserved killing.


    For normal Summoners, during the first try at integrating with their contracted beast, it was not unheard of for the base control level to be 1%.


    For normal Summoners, during the first try, the approximate average was within 12% and 14%, Legs hitting 40% in his first try was outrageous as it meant he could control his current body better than most veteran summoners.


    Higher control meant more effectivebat strength.


    Legs was only able to achieve this because he was no mere Summoner, back in his previous life, he was a pro at beast integration battles.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    His fists smashed across faces with the impunity of a newly designed Te car outracing a Toyota Camry, there was simply noparison.

    Like Legs promised, it was a show, a bloody show.


    Blood started flowing across the territory of the exclusive library as in no time, dozens of psychopaths and guards were left lying in a pool of their own blood. Legs was simply unstoppable after fusing with Predator.


    Not only could he use all of Predator''s skills including its darkness affinity skills, he also had his intelligence fully intact which was a lethalbination.


    With thisbination, he sliced through the formation of the psychopaths like a hot knife through butter. He was not alone in the ughter though.


    Awoo! Awoo!


    Ak led his wolves as they wreaked havoc among the psychopaths.


    The greatest characteristics of wolves was not their strength, it was their teamwork and Ak fully emboldened this. Under his leadership, the pack of wolves were unstoppable as he and the Dark Wolf were the 2 trident forces.


    Together, they massacred the psychopaths.


    The Chefron was also not idle as following Legs''s lead, it charged with its incredible speed, knocking psychopaths unconscious in the process and feasting on them excitedly as it continually shone its huge teeth.


    As for Christensen, this time, he didn''t shy away from the battle. As soon as Leo came, he mounted his beast as together, they charged into the battle.


    Bianca and Hestia were shocked as they saw their brother kill.


    They''ve known their brother for 20 years. Christensen was a lot of things but he was no killer, the boy was a coward or so they believed, their brother really changed in just a few weeks of separation.


    "How dare you oppose the mandate of the Clown?"


    "Killing psychopaths is the greatest sin that god can never forgive".


    "You all shall die!!!"


    Despite his words of bravado and his incredible strength, in this battlefield, the powerful old Elementalist simply couldn''t keep up with Legs''s rampage.


    And unlike Legs to his side, there was no weak Grade F and E superhumans on the other side for him to take as easy pickings, he was literally relegated to amentator in this battlefield and it made him boil in rage.


    As the casualties became too much, he finally made a decision.


    "Bianca, Hestia¡­,e together, the triangle formation!"


    "Yes Master". Both Queens epted his orders and rushed towards him.


    The next moment, with the old Elementalist as the center and both Queens at opposite sides of him, all 3 of them aroused their energy and entered a special state where they were surrounded by a raging forceful field of fire and ice.


    The old man roared. "Triangle Formation; the Fiery-Frost Commandment!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The next moment, fire and ice seemed to descend from heaven on this battlefield. All 3 Elementalists charged towards their prey with the raging forceful field protecting them as more fire and ice descended.


    "Take cover!" Legs yelled as he dodged.


    In just a few seconds, the skies were bloated by abination of fire and ice making it seem like meteorites were falling from the skies.


    Legs could feel his danger senses tingling as this happened. "Sh*t! I pushed them too hard".


    Out of all the main sses in Darvis, Elementalists withoutpetition were the ultimate overlords at AOE damage dealing.


    BOOM! BOOM!


    Fire and ice finally collided with earth as it seemed like an earthquake urred. At thest minute, Legs activated his Shepherd of the Beast ne ability, sending all his wolves away to prevent unnecessary casualties.


    In the end, he weathered the storm himself in his integrated state. He was too preupied with saving himself to give attention to Christensen.


    For what felt like minutes, fire and ice just kept on raining as this part of the Palm Ind royal pce was utterly reduced to dust and debris.


    It was AOE destruction in its highest order.


    -----


    Warning! Integrated Beast state has wore off¡­


    ----


    "Ugh¡­"


    It was not Legs that groaned, it was Christensen.


    Legs''s eyes widened in rm on hearing the groan as he rapidly mounted Predator who he already separated from and ordered him to charge towards the direction where the sound came from.


    Vision was hindered now as dust and debris filled the air.


    Legs charged through the dust till he arrived beside his student. On getting there, Hestia was standing on top the bloody prince and one of his fingers was already cut off by the ruthless princess.


    Christensen groaned in pain as blood flowed from his mouth.


    As soon as they heard the sound of hooves, all 3 Elementalists turned towards him as they sent huge fireballs and sharp ice spears hauling his way.


    Legs tried to dodge them all but he could not, his left arm was scorched by the raging fire while Predator took a direct blow to the abdomen from one of the sharp ice spears that were thrown by Bianca.


    Despite the injuries, what mattered was that he was able to get to his student. As soon as Legs held Christensen, he whistled.


    "Roar!"


    A loud roar reverberated followed by a sonic boom and the now bloody Chefron appeared, it did not escape the attack unscathed either but it didn''t lose its speed due to it.


    The 3 Elementalists could only watch as the Chefron carried the 2 summoners and escaped with Legs having sent Predator to the beast ne already.


    In just a few seconds, the Chefron sprinted to the edge of the ind before diving into the deep depths of the Blue Sea.

 Chapter 77 [Bonus Chapter]Super Way

    Inside a wild ind in the Blue Sea¡­


    The Chefron stared with its huge eyes at the boundless body of water that was standing before it, wondering why it ever got content with staying inside that congested pool when there was so much water outside.


    It pped its long tail at the massive body of water, enjoying the sensation of being free for the first time and being out here at sea.


    Alongside it at the edge of the ind were 2 humans.


    At this moment, both the Chefron and the human''s injuries were already healed. After escaping the ind, with its incredible speed, the Chefron took them all the way to a faraway ind that Legs directed it to.


    This was a wild ind covered by a massive forest and was ruled by beasts. One major specialty of it that Legs remembered was the numerous miraculous herbs that grew on the ind and was one of the main reasons why he came here.


    On getting here, he easily concocted potions that took care of their injuries.


    It was already a day since they escaped the Palm Ind and Legs still had not said a word to his student. Only the Chefron yed in the sea without abandon while an awkward silence lingered between master and student.


    The next morning, as Legs sat at the edge of the ind watching the sea alongside the Chefron, Christensen also came and watched alongside him.


    As he watched, he stole a nce at his master before clenching his fists and slumping his shoulders as he spoke. "I''m sorry".


    "Why are you sorry?" Legs asked calmly without turning his head.


    "I''m sorry¡­, I swear I''m sorry¡­" Christensen said as he could no longer hold back his emotions, tears started pouring down his eyes.


    "I''m sorry for letting master down, my weakness resulted in our defeat".


    "I''m a slow learner, I have no skills and abilities, I have no battle experience¡­" He gritted his teeth. "I was a liability in the previous battle".


    "If I had more battle experience, with the agent subss, I would have assisted Leo more in the battle. And if I learned more summoner knowledges, I and Leo would no longer be such a huge liability in battle".


    Christensen fell on his knees. "I''m sorry master¡­, please forgive me".


    "Punish me, do anything to me, just don''t abandon me¡­, please".


    "I know I''m a liability but I swear I''ll get better, I''ll be stronger!"


    "Master, please just give me a chance".


    Legs kept silent for 2 minutes after Christensen finished speaking as he just looked at the waves in the water and the tide that it carried.


    "I forgive you".


    "...Really?" Christensen was shocked as he jumped up. "Thank you master, thank you, I''ll never forget this moment all my life".


    Legs was calm as he continued. "It''s a good thing that you recognize and admit your shorings. I also like your willingness to learn".


    Legs turned and looked him in the eye. "I''ve told you before, to have the will to get stronger, you need a source of motivation, a self-rule that will keep you going despite setbacks and challenges".


    "You need to discover your super way, have you discovered it?"


    "¡­" Christensen kept silent as he looked down at his 2 hands.


    "Yes¡­, yes, I think I have". He finally raised his head to look back at Legs and Legs discovered a fire now burning in his eyes.


    Legs smiled and urged him on.


    Christensen smiled. "Master, I''ve been with you for less than a month but I''ve observed you a lot and I discovered some things".


    "Compared to you, I''m too dumb, weak, and I don''t have talent". He clenched his fists as he looked down. "The Beast Integration Intermediate Summoner knowledge, you learned it in the previous battle, right?"


    He raised his head to look back at Legs as Legs''s eyes constricted in surprise. "If you learned it before, you would have integrated with Predator to fight the giant swordmaster but you didn''t and you almost died".


    "You have so much higherprehension ability than me that I despair at times just thinking of catching up to you".


    "You are younger but you''re smarter than I am".


    "You are also stronger than I am".


    "Back in the Palm Ind, I thought I discovered my super way which was getting stronger than both my sisters but I changed my mind just now".


    Christensen raised his head with a fiery will now burning in his eyes. "Master¡­, my super way is you". He pointed at Legs.


    "My super way is to catch up to you and exceed you".


    "Since I''m not as talented, I will put in more work".


    "If you train 8 hours every day, I''ll put in more effort and train 16 hours every day".


    "If you hone your fighting skills 3 hours every day, I''ll hone mine 6 hours every day".


    "If you read to learn knowledges 2 hours every day¡­" Christensen wiped his tears. "I''ll ovee my fear of books and read 4 hours every day".


    "That¡­, is my super way!"


    "¡­" Legs was speechless as he stared at his student.


    Christensen stared back at him with a fiery will that even intimidated Legs.


    ''Is this the will that enabled him to get so strong in my previous life?'' Legs was shocked at the conviction and determination that Christensen showed.


    ''Damn¡­, he''s the real deal!''


    Legs stood up and smiled then he gave Christensen a thumb up. "I approve of your super way".


    "Just know this, it won''t be so easy to catch up to me".


    "That''s what makes it more exciting". Christensen grinned and clenched his fists.


    "Ok". Legs nodded as his next step became much clearer to him.


    "I made the Chefron bring us to this ind not just because of the medicinal herbs here but because this ind is a prime training location for summoners".


    "Wow!" Christensen was excited.


    "The Clown Society is the enemy and they are powerful".


    "If we''re to live in the super world, we''ll need to sh against them".


    "To win against them, my student need to be strong enough to be a worthypanion to me and was why I brought you here to train you".


    "To start your training, go fetch Leo from the woods".


    "Yes master!" Christensen saluted and rushed into the woods.


    As he watched the blonde-haired young man sprinting away into the woods, Legs smiled. "My journey in this world is bing even more interesting".


    ¡­


    The Palm Ind was left in a terrible state after the intruders escaped.


    Though Queen Hestia tried to block the news from circting, rumors still flew everywhere like raging wildfire that Prince Christensen came back to reim the throne that was rightfully his, leaving the pce in shambles.


    The rumors were not too far from the truth though. After the old Elementalists''bined attack with the Queens, the pce was left in shambles.


    In the end, they were the one who ended up destroying the most.


    Elementalists were just too good at AOE attacks.


    While the furious Queens employed measures to recover from their losses, the Red Master isted himself inside the deepest and most well-protected area of the exclusive library where he hid a treasure.


    On locking himself inside the room, the Red Master activated the orb-shaped treasure which after a few seconds erected a blurry projection in the air.


    "Oh, Great Clown, I''m honored to be in your presence".


    "What happened?"


    "The wanted criminal attacked my ind, stealing some things".


    The projection red at the Red Master for a few seconds before speaking. "Did he get any information about our organization?"


    "I''m not sure but I don''t think so¡­"


    "You think?! You deserve death!" The Clown''s powerful energy red.


    The Red Master kept silent with his head down remorsefully.


    "Did he escape from the Blue Sea?"


    "No, I ced an Elementalist mark on the prince''s wolf and discovered that they escaped to a faraway wild ind in the sea".


    "Good". The blurry projection nodded. "You have a new mission".


    "Hunt down and kill the criminal!"


    "Bring me his head".


    "You have permission to mobilize psychopaths from nearest bases, do not fail me".


    "Yes, oh Great Clown!"


    Bzzz!


    The projection disappeared the next moment.


    After the Clown left, the Red Master knelt down and kowtowed 3 times to the orb-shaped treasure. "May the grace of the Clown follow me".

 Chapter 78 Training [1]

    Awoo!


    Leo rushed out of the woods with Christensen on top it.


    On the massive Frost Wolf''s mouth was a dead rabbit as Christensen waved from on top his beast enthusiastically at his master. "Master, we hunted meat!"


    As soon as Christensen returned with his wolf, after receiving permission from his master, he went to work on roasting the rabbit which would be their breakfast for the day alongside fruits from the ind.


    As Christensen roasted the meat, Legs drew a time table.


    When he was finally done, they both dug into the meat with gusto, finishing it in no time as Legs finally presented the time table to his student.


    "Take, this is your daily schedule that you''ll follow until I deem you powerful enough to be my assistant to assist me in my quests".


    "Yes, master". Christensen took it and rapidly went through it.


    [Christensen''s Daily Training Schedule!]


    >Combat Training- Morning: 6 hours<


    >Meditation- Afternoon: 2 hours<


    >Rest- Afternoon: 2 hours<


    >Knowledge Training- Evening: 4 hours<


    >Combat Training- Night: 2 hours<


    [Daily Target: Improve till Master''s satisfaction!]


    [Penalty for failure: Additional 4 hours of training!]


    "¡­" Christensen just stood petrified staring at the book.


    When he finally raised his head to look at his master, tears were pouring from his eyes like rivers of waters flowing down a dam. "Master¡­!" He cried.


    "That''s 14 hours of training every day!"


    "And you said my daily target is to improve till your satisfaction¡­" He cried even more. "How do I know your satisfaction and how do I reach it?"


    "And the penalty for failure is 4 additional hours of training".


    "In overall, that''s 18 hours of training, 18 hours!" He stressed.


    "God, I''ll die before I be strong, this is soooo unfair".


    "Unfair you say?" Legs raised his eyebrows. "Have you forgotten?"


    "Huh?"


    Legs gesticted dramatically as he spoke. "If you train 8 hours every day, I''ll put in more effort and train 16 hours every day".


    He went even more dramatic. "If you hone your fighting skills 3 hours every day, I''ll hone mine 6 hours every day".


    "If you read to learn knowledges 2 hours every day". He imitated Christensen wiping his tears. "I''ll ovee my fear of books and read 4 hours every day!"


    "Hahaha". Legsughed. "Have you forgotten who said this?"


    "¡­" Christensen gritted his teeth.


    "You''ve not even started but you want to give up".


    "I''m not giving up!" He roared. "Bring it on, I''ll take it all!"


    "To exceed you, I''ll do anything!"


    "10 hours, 12 hours, 16 hours, 20 hours, I''ll do it all and not get tired!" Christensen stood up and roared as he patted his chest.


    "That''s the spirit". Legs smiled and stood up. "But you won''t survive to surpass me though if you train 20 hours every day at your level".


    "¡­" Christensen''s eyebrows twitched as his dramatic posture paused.


    "Master¡­!" He cried.


    "Ok". Legs patted him on the shoulder. "Let''s get to business".


    "First, tell me, how many summoner knowledges have you learned?"


    "¡­" Christensen blushed. "2-2¡­" His face turned red in shame.


    "That''s better than I expected". Legs smirked and nodded. "Which basic summoner knowledge have you learned?"


    "The Beast Trainer and Organic Connection knowledge".


    "Nice". Legs gave a thumb up. "With the Organic Connection, things will be much easier for you in yourbat training".


    "My ultimate satisfaction of this training for yourbat training is for you to level up a grade and be a Grade D superhuman".


    "¡­" Christensen''s eyes widened. "B-but¡­"


    "No buts". Legs smiled. "Leo is a Frost Wolf of royal bloodline; yourbat training will lean more on him".


    "Remember, with the Organic Connection knowledge, if yourbat training is a sess and Leo levels up, you also level up".


    "Your morningbat training will be personally supervised by me here, you will be fighting simted battles that you imagine in your mind".


    "Summoners are not Pugilists or Elementalists, we use our brain more. Once you master the art of controlling a battle, that''s when you finally be a master Summoner and its also one of the criteria that I''m looking out for".


    "As for your eveningbat training, it''ll be unsupervised".


    Legs''s smile turned sinister. "You and Leo will enter deep into this ind and spar with beasts of your choice".


    "You can decide to cheat your way out of this one since I won''t be supervising, but remember, you''re doing all this to surpass me".


    "If you can''t even do this, then you''re not qualified to be my student".


    "Your knowledge training will be much more straightforward. I know that you hate reading books, but to be a great Summoner, you need to be smart".


    "You must learn to read".


    "I''ll be providing you with books on Summoning that were written by masters, and I''ll also give you other summoner knowledges to learn".


    "Do you think you''re up for the task?"


    "Yes master!" Christensen roared with enthusiasm.


    "That''s the spirit, you can now begin". Legs smiled. "Alongside Leo, just imagine enemies trying to kill you, do your best to kill them".


    "Umm¡­"


    "Noints".


    "Yes master!"


    The next moment, Christensen called Leo and together they ran to the open field that was just before the edge of the ind.


    "Leo, let''s envision an imaginary opponent and kill it".


    "Let''s do it!"


    "Imaginary opponente out!"


    For over an hour, Christensen was frustrated as no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to envision an imaginary opponent from nothing that he and his contracted beast were supposed to fight and kill.


    With tears in his eyes, he turned to his master for help but Legs ignored him. Left with no choice, Christensen could only keep on groping around.


    After 5 grueling hours of trying, Christensen still arrived at nothing.


    "No¡­, this is too hard, I give up".


    After saying this, Christensen turned to look at Legs who reciprocated with a nonchnt look. He sighed. "I can''t keep on like this".


    "I''ll never catch up to master at this rate, I need to think of something else".


    Leo howled tiredly, echoing his sentiments.


    Christensen thought till his brains bled but no idea came. 30 minutes before his training time psed, as Christensenid down on the ground having lost hope, a radical thought crossed his brain.


    He suddenly sprang up. "Leo!"


    Leo turned his white wolf head uninterestedly to look at his master.


    "Snap out of it, do you remember your archenemies?"


    "Huh?" Leo howled and tilted his head in puzzlement.


    "Inferno horses!" Christensenughed maniacally.


    "Hahaha, I still remember when Prince Gadok of Wine Ind visited with his pet Inferno Horse, you were so angry you fought with the horse and ended up thrashing a huge part of the throne room".


    "You were almost killed by father out of rage then".


    "What if I can make us imagine that an Inferno Horse is before us?"


    Christensen tapped his brain as ideas started flowing. "All I need is fire, fire than can induce enough heat that you''ll think an Inferno Horse is here".


    "Awoo!" Leo howled angrily as he heard the name Inferno Horse.


    "Hahaha, that''s it!"


    The next moment, Leo worked hard to gather dry woods around the clearing in the ind before setting them all aze.


    As soon as the heat set in, Leo''s eyes turned red in rage.


    "AWOO!!!"


    Whoosh!


    Master and beast soon rushed into the middle of the burning fire as like crazy maniacs, they started biting, punching, and attacking empty air with gusto.


    Christensen soon became so engrossed in the invisible enemy fight that he became addicted to it, he no longer wanted to stop, he just wanted to keep on punching and fighting till his heart content but it didn''t work that way.


    "Stop!" Legs finally spoke. "Your training time is over".


    "Huh?" Christensen was surprised. "So fast? Can''t I continue a bit¡­"


    "No!"


    "F*ck!"

 Chapter 79 Training [2]

    "The meditation session is very important for your training".


    "Unlike normal humans, superhumans gain even more from meditation".


    "It helps hone concentration, our control over contracted beasts, and it even improves discipline to prioritize and stop certain things like now".


    "When you start meditating to a high enough level, you won''t be carried away by your training again. You''ll know when to train and when to stop".


    "Remember, rest is also an essential part of training".


    "Most importantly, meditation helps in honing and increasing our Summoner energy, it is the most efficient way to recover and draw in mana".


    "Without learning how to utilize your Summoner energy smartly, you can never be a great Summoner".


    "Now, imitate my actions". Legs took the lead for Christensen.


    "Yes Master".


    Legs sat down cross-legged before focusing and closing his eyes. Christensen imitated him and they just stayed like that for the next 1 minute.


    After a minute, Legs started speaking again. "Meditation simply entails forgetting all about the world, forgetting everything and focusing on yourself".


    "When you concentrate on yourself, you''ll see things beyond the natural".


    "Do you see anything?"


    "No¡­, not yet¡­" Christensen tried to focus more then he gasped in shock. "Yes master, I see something, a white energy covering my abdomen".


    "That is your summoner energy".


    "Through meditation, focus on your energy and try to harness it. Once you do, push it and make it to start revolving in a clockwise direction".


    "This is how superhumans meditate".


    "Yes Master". Christensen focused and tried doing as he was instructed.


    Despite being a yer who mostly had automatic ess to all features and powers of the game through his interface, Legs knew all of these because he was part of the producers who developed the ground work of the game.


    Dominator''s super powers were all fantasy, but the producers all worked together and drew inspiration from the ancient Chinese myth of qi.


    Mana that segregated into the different forms of superhuman energies was a fantasy replication of qi, it was just more powerful and potent.


    For the first hour after he started, Christensen improved but he was still unable to push his blue Summoner energy to move in a clockwise direction. It took a few more minutes before he finally got the hang of it.


    Once he started, he no longer stopped.


    During this training session, Legs learned something incredible.


    Like he suspected before now, he was a hybrid, his virtual interface was not the only way for him to grow stronger, he could also grow stronger like all other superhumans here.


    Once he confirmed, Legs also meditated and easily got the hang of it as he started rotating his green Summoner energy in a clockwise direction.


    Both master and student stopped once the 2-hour time limit psed. This time, after the meditation, Christensen''s brain felt active and free like never before but he also felt an urge to sleep and rest.


    The next few hours were rest time, so he fully took advantage of it.


    Legs and Christensen rested on the forest ground as the massive Chefron and Leo spread mischief through the ind that was free for them.


    ¡­


    2 hourster, the both of them woke up energized.


    "Take, this is the Basic Beast Energy Augmentation knowledge that I got from you some time ago, use the 4 hours to start learning it".


    To Christensen, he finally got to the hardest part of his training.


    With tears in his eyes, he grabbed the book detailing the ss knowledge as he located a nearby boulder and sat on it before going through the book.


    For some reason though, as he read, the book no longer seemed as strange or weird to him. "Huh¡­, did I be more intelligent?"


    Then his eyes widened in realization. "Is it because of meditating?"


    "Damn, I must definitely ask masterter".


    With the belief that he got more intelligent from the blue, he became motivated and put even more effort to understanding the contents of the book.


    He didn''t understand it far but at least he tried far better than he usually did. After 4 hours, Legs finally told him to rest and sent Leo to hunt for more food.


    A few minutester, the Frost Wolf returned with a small boar.


    Legs did the roasting this time. As he roasted the meat, he exined. "Your nightbat training willst 2 hours".


    "This time, it is the real deal".


    "Go out there with Leo and fight real beasts".


    "It doesn''t matter what you do, just make sure that you improve".


    "Yes master".


    After eating, Christensen spent some time to let the food digest. By now, it was already into the dead of the night. He took a deep breath after making his preparations, then he bid his master farewell before mounting Leo.


    Together, beast and master tread deeper into the forest in the ind.


    ¡­


    After 20 minutes of searching, Christensen found his target.


    The massive Jaguar was loud as it slept and took a nap after a long day of hunting and killing. After marking his target from afar, Christensen took a deep breath. ''I noticed that my marksmanship improved after bing an agent''.


    He brought out the makeshift arrow that Legs constructed for him, then he took a deep breath and aimed. "Leo, when I shoot him, you freeze him".


    "We won''t take risks, we''ll whittle him to death".


    Christensen narrowed his eyes then he released the arrow.


    Whoosh!


    Instantly after the arrow moved and the wind blew, the sleeping Jaguar''s ears stood like an antenna as its right paw swatted with rapid speed.


    This incredible Jaguar was fast enough to swat the arrow away. Its hands bled after the arrow barely injured it but it was not fatal, now it was angry.


    "Leo, now!"


    The Frost Wolf released its ice but the Jaguar was already aware.


    This powerful big cat jumped high, dodging the ice attack as its fur stood like needles before shooting outwards the next moment after the Jaguar roared.


    Whoosh!


    Christensen barely dodged the fur needles that were like bullets.


    Leo howled loudly before emerging from its hiding as it pounced at the Jaguar but this battle veteran was not having it. Having fought other summoners before, he already knew that Leo was a contracted beast.


    "Roar!" The Jaguar roared and charged towards Christensen''s location.


    "Oh f*ck¡­, f*ck I''m gonna die!"


    Christensen''s first instinct was to abandon his weapons and run for it but his rationality took over in a rare moment of rity. ''If I turn my back to this Jaguar, I''m 100% done''


    ''But if I give it a try and try my best against it head-on, if Leo is smart enough to attack from the back, I may have a chance of surviving''


    "Leo, attack!"


    Christensen roared as he threw the bow to one side before unsheathing the sword that was attached to his waist.


    At this moment, his eyes were blood-red in fury and determination. "I can''t die!"


    The Jaguar was fast, freakishly fast as it arrived before him the next moment, clearly it had an ability to rapidly increase its burst speed.


    Christensen widened his eyes as he blocked his face with his left hand before motioning to stab the Jaguar''s abdomen with his right.


    "I will not die, ahh¡­!"


    Boom!


    The Jaguar finally copsed on him as blood flowed.


    Christensen waspressed by the Jaguar''s weight but it was not his blood that flowed, it was from the huge injury on the Jaguar''s abdomen.


    "Ahh¡­, die!"


    Christensen was emboldened after his initial sess as he stabbed deeper.


    "Roar!"


    The Jaguar thrashed painfully on top him, giving him injuries in the process as it struggled to climb up so that it could bite him properly.


    Before the Jaguar could stand though, a white silhouette pounced on its back as Leo''s deadly teeth ruthlessly sank into the Jaguar''s neck.


    The Jaguar struggled fiercely but by adding his frost powers, Leo incapacitated the Jaguar with his long and powerful teeth for minutes until all life was sapped away out of the big cat.


    The Jaguar died but 2 massive beasts were on top Christensen for minutes.


    As soon as Leo killed the Jaguar, he pushed it away, exposing his master who was underneath who at this moment was not that distinguishable from the sand that was on the forest floor.


    Leo nudged him with his nose.


    Christensen coughed blood. "I won¡­"


    "Hahaha, I f*cking won!"

 Chapter 80 Training; The Art Of Tracking [1]

    Whoosh!


    With his eyes closed in meditation, Christensen viewed his white Summoner energy moving energetically in wavelengths like the flowing waves of a rowdy sea.


    The more he focused, the clearer the flowing white energy became.


    After a few more minutes of silence and concentration, he suddenly concentrated harder, forming a hand with his will. In this strange ethereal world, with the hand that he formed, he grabbed his white summoner energy.


    Then, starting slowly, Christensen rotated his Summoner energy in a clockwise direction. It was very slow at first but the rotation soon picked speed.


    After an indeterminate time of rotation, Christensen smiled then he clenched the hand that he formed,pressing his white Summoner energy into a ball shape. He soon started morphing it in different shapes.


    This was the sign of his current great mastery over his Summoner energy.


    Compared to 2 weeks ago when he just started, he was miles better now, his control and synergy with Leo in battle was now smoother than ever before.


    After following his new schedule of early morning meditation while his master took a nap, Christensen finally stood up and stretched.


    Then he smiled. "Leo, it''s time!"


    Bzzz!


    Fire raged in the open field as soon as Christensen lit it up.


    "Awoo!"


    Leo howled angrily as its memories of an Inferno Horse were awakened.


    "Let''s do it!"


    Together with Leo taking the lead, Christensen and his contracted beast ran into the open field with serious expressions as they started fighting an invisible enemy. Compared to before, the battle was much more intense now.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The sound of Christensen''s punches and kicks hitting the air reverberated like thunder as Leo growled and wreak even more havoc against the invisible enemy. Compared to before, Christensen was now a great agent.


    He had far better control over his strength now, his battle instincts were already honed over 2 weeks, and his synergy with his beast was top tier.


    For 25 minutes, they kept fighting the invisible enemy until Leo suddenly leaped high with Christensen jumping on its back as they did their ultimate attack.


    "Leo-Chris Beast Combo: Barrage of Death!"


    The sound was like exploding dominoes as Leo and Christensen attacked in a frenzy. While the Frost Wolf attacked rapidly with its ws, Christensen attacked with his knife and the air even seemed to distort a bit.


    After the attack, both master and beast finally stopped.


    Christensen sped his hands together before bowing towards the invisible enemy. "Finally¡­, it''s over".


    "It was an honor fighting you".


    Though Legs was the one who proposed this training, this sight never seized to creep him out as he shuddered. ''I hope he''s still normal''.


    After the victory, with lots of free time now Leo went to y with the energetic Chefron while Christensen went out to hunt for food. 30 minutester, he returned with a rabbit which he roasted as he feasted with his master.


    As they ate, Christensen spoke. "Master, I won again, what do you think?"


    "Compared to 2 weeks ago, you''re a far better summoner now".


    Legs''spliment was still him holding back. He finally knew why Christensen achieved so much in his previous life, the kid was a f*cking genius, only his easy life as a prince previously prevented him from excelling.


    Now, under his tutge, Christensen improved rapidly.


    "In 2 weeks, you managed to master the Basic Beast Energy Augmentation ss knowledge and Beast ne Metaphysics ss knowledge".


    "ording to you, Leo is just a little shy of bing a Grade D beast, that is more or less all that I set off to achieve by bringing you here".


    "You now have the ability to summon a beast to sign a contract with it".


    "But I advise you not to be hasty. Wait till you master the Basic Beast ne Traveler knowledge before deciding to contract your 2nd beast".


    "With just the Beast ne Metaphysics knowledge, you can summon a beast from the beast ne to the real world and sign a contract with it".


    "The disadvantage is that as a Grade E Summoner, you can only summon beasts that are weaker than you, and you have no control over their species".


    "But with the Beast Traveler knowledge, you can personally go to the beast ne and get your own contracted beast, any beast of your choice".


    "That''s awesome!" Christensen''s eyes were filled with stars.


    Having already gone to the beast ne once curtesy of his master, Christensen knew how magical the world was and couldn''t wait to go there himself.


    He was motivated as he rushed to finish his food so he could continue learning the basic summoner knowledge, Legs smiled at his actions before speaking. "You''ve learned almost everything that I want to teach you except one".


    "Huh?" Christensen tilted his head in curiosity.


    Legs''s voice deepened. "To be a great Summoner, you must master the sacred art of tracking".


    "Woah¡­, sacred?!"


    "Yes, it''s sacred". Legs continued without blushing.


    "The importance of tracking cannot be overemphasized to a Summoner. Have you ever wondered how I located Leo so fast back then when you issued the mission when no one else couldn''t?" Legs smirked.


    "It was all because I''m a master beast tracker".


    "When you master the art of tracking, hunting beasts be easier. Also, in your quest to find your 2nd contracted beast in the beast ne, as a master tracker, it won''t be as hard for you anymore".


    Legs finally stood up after finishing his share of the meat. "I will show you the art of tracking in the evening, I want to go out to train".


    "As for you, stay behind and continue learning thest basic knowledge".


    With that, Legs picked himself up and walked deeper into the forest with no weapon or protective. Just like Christensen, as he saw the prince grow stronger, he also started training to regain his previous mastery.


    His training was mostly focused on his Beast Integration active ability.


    [Current Overall Control Level: 60%!]


    In the past 2 weeks, due to his rigorous training, Legs''s overall control level when integrated with his contracted beast improved by 5%.


    He was off to training again.


    ¡­


    A pack of hyenas fed on a huge Deer that they just killed.


    Unknown to them, a pair of eyes filled with killing intent watched them from behind a thick closure of bush where the owner hid.

    ----


    As soon as Predator appeared from the beast ne and fused with his master, a massive energy erupted, rming the hyenas but it was toote.


    In his new form, Legs grinned. "Big boy, are you ready?"


    "Roar!" Predator''s roar tranted in Legs''s mind through their telepathic rtionship. "I''m always ready!"


    Boom!


    Legs charged towards the beasts, inducing a mini-sonic boom due to his speed as the shocked hyenas braced themselves for impact.


    -----


    You have activated special ability: Veil of Darkness

    You have activated active ability: Lethal Bite


    You have activated active ability: w Barrage

    ----


    "Roar!"


    With the veil of darkness, Legs effectively cut off the visibility of the hyenas while amplifying his, giving room for Predator''s Darkness Regeneration passive ability to also take effect.


    With this passive ability, he was free to be unbridled.


    As the hyenas panicked in the darkness, he pounced on them, grabbing the first one and removing its head with one ruthless bite of the lethal bite skill.


    As blood flowed and stained his teeth, Legs felt his bloodlust rising.


    "Roar!"


    Predator''s ws were like extremely sharp sabers as Legs used them to their fullest potential with the w Barrage active skill, cutting the blind hyenas to bit and pieces while theyughed in pain and panic.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    All 6 hyenas stood no chance before this monster.


    In less than a minute, Legs''s sudden outburst in his beast integrated state enabled him to wipe out this contingent of 6 Grade E Hyenas.


    Though none of them was a Grade D Beast, this was still unreal efficiency.


    Legs finally stopped after killing them all as he clenched his fists and reveled in his current strength. "Power¡­, feels good".

    ----


    The wild greyhounds were just like the domestic greyhounds used for hunting, the only difference was that these guys were better, wilder, and deadlier.


    They had an insatiable bloodlust and could track their prey across kilometers.


    Despite Legs''s master tracking skills, the leader of this small pack, the Might Hound discovered him first from miles away. The 3 hounds were the ones who went after him first with the intent to kill him.


    Legs did not back down from the challenge, he decided to make this Might Hound the first Grade D victim of his newly found powers.


    After transforming into his beast integrated state, he soloed all 3 powerful hounds before bringing their lives to an untimely end.


    After the battle, Legs sat down on a rock to rest, it was already evening.


    "By now, Christensen should be tired of reading that book already. Though he''s a genius and is actually intelligent, he''s just not the book type".


    "I think it''s time to teach him some tracking skills".


    With that, Legs sent Predator back to the beast ne and after resting, he brought that day''s hunting session to an end and returned to their hideout. On returning to the open field, he was shocked to see Christensen still reading.


    Seated on top a rock, Christensen had a fearsome frown on his face, testament of his dislike for reading but he forced himself to continue reading.


    Legs sighed. "He really does want to overtake me".


    "At this rate, I can''t afford to rest either, what a pain¡­".


    Thud!


    Legs threw his hunting bag down, startling Christensen.


    "Ahh¡­, master you almost gave me a heart attack".


    "That''s ok for today, keep the book". Legs said as he sat down on the floor. "Come sit beside me, it''s time tomence your next lesson".


    "Hell yeah!" Christensen jumped up excitedly with boundless energy radiating all over him, then he sat beside Legs on the floor.


    "What do you understand by tracking?"


    "Uhh¡­" Christensen scratched his head. "I think tracking, if it''s a beast you''re tracking, it involves finding tracks left by a beast to locate it".


    "You''re partially right". Legs smiled. "But¡­, tracking an animal doesn''t just start when you find the first track, a big part of it all depends on the sharp instincts learned and honed from pre-existing knowledge".


    "The more you can know about an animal in advance of tracking it, the more you''ll urately predict and make sense of what you find while tracking it".


    "Before tracking, have a good idea of what you want to track".


    "Ask yourself questions like where does the beast live, what kind ofndscape, habitat, what does it eat, does it hibernate? Questions like this help".


    "Like in Leo''s case, I had pre-existing knowledge about Frost Wolves. I knew that Frost Wolves love cold regions and hignds so since there was no mountain around, I simply went for the high nes where dangerous beasts roam".


    "It made things a lot easier for me".


    Legs raised his hand up. "The 2nd step to tracking is know what other animals exist in the ecosystem of your target beast".


    "Nature is a big interconnected system, it''s never just one animal in istion. Animals interact and influence each other''s movement, diet, and behavior".


    "A big part of knowing how to trackes from being able to read the ecosystem of interactions between different types of wildlife".


    "Umm¡­" Christensen scratched his head embarrassingly. "Sorry but this is getting a bitplicated, I can''t keep up".


    Legs sighed exasperatedly. "Just listen, I''ll also demonstrate it for you".


    "Oh, ok".


    "The 3rd step is track finding, it''s the most important step". Legs raised his hand again. "Tracks are a special piece of history that connects you in space and time to the animal who made them, you have to be sensitive to sense them".


    "Clear prints aren''t always easy to find but there are ces in almost anyndscape where they can be found".


    "Look for clear prints in mud puddles, snow, areas of disturbed dirt, snapped twigs, or even in the forest leaf litter if there is especially in the case of hard hoofed animals like deer or moose".


    "To confidently identify tracks, you need practice and critical thinking".


    "That''s why I tell you to read". Legs sighed. "A summoner needs to read".


    "If you can put in all these steps that I''ve listed together, then you''re good to go which will lead you to thest step, following fresh animal trails".


    "First, you need to identify if a trail is fresh".


    "Fresh tracks will have a crisper and more textured look to them. As they age, the edges erode and smooth out, scat bes dried as it ages".


    "A personal strategy is looking at differences in colorpared to thendscape, you almost always notice the difference if you pay attention enough".


    "After noticing a fresh trail, tracking it is culmination of all the other steps that I listed. If you can execute them all, you''ll surely get your catch".


    "Now, let''s get over with the boring talk and all, let''s get to business".


    Legs stood up. "Follow me, we''re going tracking".


    "Yeah man!" Christensen jumped up in excitement.


    ¡­


    As the receding glow of the sun started casting a shadow over the forest in the ind, a pair of master and student moved quietly through the forest.


    It did not take too long before Legs found his first trail.


    He patted Christensen. "See that?"


    "A muddy depression?"


    "Yes, that''s the trail left by a Wild Hog". He whispered to him.


    "Since they don''t have functional sweat nds, they create muddy depressions to coat their skin with mud which aids thermoregtion".


    "Ahh¡­, thermo what?"


    "¡­" Legs was left speechless, he sighed. "Thermoregtion is the maintenance or regtion of the temperature of a living body".


    "Oh¡­, I understand now".


    Legs continued. "You see that tree 2 meters away".


    "Yes, it''s coated by mud".


    "You''re observant". Legs did not miss the opportunity toplement his student. "After leaving the mud, in the case of excess mud on their body, they rub the excess off through trees".


    "The Wild Hog went that way, let''s follow it".


    Just about a minuteter, Legs discovered another track, this one a clearer one. "That''s the paw print of the Wild Hog".


    Christensen was excited. "You don''t know master but I''m living my dream".


    For the next 8 minutes, they continued tracking the Wild Hog while Legs exined any trails to Christensen.


    Through other tracks like the Hog''s droppings, rooting and overturned soil which were notorious of Wild Hog''s rough feeding, after 15 minutes, they finally located the Wild Hog.


    The wild beast stood before a puddle of mud as it overturned the wet soil with its dirty snout in search of food, Christensen was excited at the discovery.


    "Do you want to do it or should I¡­?


    "I will". Christensen answered before Legs could finish.


    He brought out his bow and arrow then he aimed as silently as he could. With his marksmanship passive ability, he was confident in his aim and when the angle opened up, he unleashed the arrow.


    Whoosh!


    The Wild Hog growled aggressively in pain as soon as the arrow got it.


    It turned and was about to charge at the enemy, but Christensen already nocked his bow for the 2nd time as he aimed before releasing the shot.


    The Wild Hog finally died.


    "Yeah!" Christensen was excited.


    "Congrattions, your aim has improved".


    "Thanks master, you taught me".


    That was the only tracking practical that Legs had for Christensen, the prince would have to update his knowledge of beasts andplete the rest of the learning process himself.


    As they returned back to their hideout, it was already getting dark and Christensen was silent as he reyed the tracking lesson in his head.


    Through the past 2 weeks, he discovered that he learned faster by reying scenes in his head than reading or any other form.


    As he reyed it in his head, he started understanding every action that Legs took even to the little details. All of a sudden, he seemed to get it all.


    "I understand now". He mumbled.


    "Huh?"


    Christensen turned to face Legs. "Master, did you miss the tracks?


    "Which tracks?"


    "I discovered new tracks as we came back, it was a snapped twig at first".


    "At first, I thought it was another beast but I understand your thought process now. The twig was deliberately snapped by the culprit to make it look like it was done by a Wild beast but the precision was too good for a beast".


    "For some reason, I also discovered other tracks that were deliberately erased. I know they''ve been erased but I can still find them".


    "I''m not sure but it seems I awakened an ability rted to tracking".


    Legs was surprised as Christensen said all these, he was d but his eyes narrowed. "If the tracks were not left by beasts, then who left them?"


    Christensen scratched his head. "I saw a footprint¡­"


    "I think¡­, humans?"


    "¡­"

 Chapter 82 The Hunt [1]

    "Humans?!" Legs was rmed.


    Christensen''s im was oundish but Legs did not put it off, he believed him. After over a month of staying together, their rtionship already increased to such a high level that Christensen had full trust in him.


    ording to the virtual interface, Christensen''s favorability of him already increased to the peak of mortals, just short of godly respect.


    Godly respect was the respect that humans had for gods. With Christensen''s current rtionship with him, the prince trusted him more than he ever trusted his parents while they were still alive so Legs did not doubt him.


    The only problem was that this ind was an isted one. Of course, there were superhumans who stumbled here asionally but it was very rare.


    In his previous life, this ind only became known like a few yearster when the truth of the ind''s miraculous healing herbs became known.


    "Who are these humans?" Legs was curious and alert.


    The only problem was that he didn''t make this discovery by himself, he turned to face Christensen. "Are you sure of your im?"


    "Yes, I think I''ve mastered this tracking something".


    "Then, show me".


    "Ok".


    Christensen led the way as they back-traced into the forest, about a minuteter he paused. "See that broken twig, that''s the one that I spoke of".


    "It looks like it was done by a wild beast but if you look closer you''ll see".


    Even before Christensen finished speaking, Legs already went closer to look. Surprisingly, he had to spend more than 30 seconds before he confirmed it.


    Legs frowned. "You''re right, it was done by a human but¡­" Legs paused in deep thought. "Something is strange".


    "Huh?"


    "I''ve never spent more than 10 seconds to identify something like this".


    "Besides, when we walked past here, for some reason, my senses seemed hindered to the surroundings and I didn''t even pay attention to the broken twig".


    "Huh?" Christensen scratched his head.


    "Take me to the footprints you saw". Legs''s face was now serious.


    ? "Ahh¡­, you''re just beside one".


    Legs was shocked as he looked down, then he frowned and shook his head. "I can''t see any footprint". The next moment he raised his head and red at Christensen. "Don''t tell me you''re bluffing with me".


    Christensen quickly raised his hands in surrender as Legs''s voice changed. "Wait, let me make it clearer".


    The next moment, he bent down and removed some of the dry leaves that were on the floor. After removing about 3 of them, like it was magic, footprints that werepletely hidden in the soil previously started materializing.


    Not just there but across a region of about 3 or 4 meters.


    "1¡­, 2¡­, 3 humans!" Legs was rmed.


    "How did you find the footprints?" Legs turned to look at Christensen.


    The next moment, his virtual interface lit up.

    ----


    Legs''s eyes literally bulged out of their sockets on seeing this.


    "Umm¡­, master, are you ok?"


    "Ahh, yes, I''m fine".


    It took a few seconds for Legs to snap out of the shock that the virtual interface notification gave him. After he did though, his face turned grim.


    "We''re in danger". Legs said in a deep voice.


    "Ahh¡­!" Christensen was shocked. "What happened? Where? How?"


    "I always told you that you''re talented, discovering these tracks are originally not possible for normal superhumans. Due to my training, you were able to unlock a hidden talent of yours which enabled you to see this".


    "Wow! Really?"


    "Yes, but that''s not the focus for now". Legs''s eyes narrowed. "If I''m not mistaken, the Clown Society is after us and they''re already in this ind".


    "Ahh¡­!"


    "That ability to erase tracks and traces from existence is a special Pugilist ability that is exclusive to the Clown Society".


    "By injecting their specially trained Pugilists with a serum, they unlock this ability and others, turning them into the ultimate assassins".


    "I believe that 3 of them came here and they''ve seen us already".


    "They''re probably nning how to take us down right now".


    Christensen was rmed as he finally understood the gravity of their situation, he was not scared this time though, his will for battle was only stimted.


    "Don''t underestimate them". Legs noticed and warned then he smiled. "Do not underestimate them but I also have to admit, you''re their bane right now".


    "I don''t know how they were able to track us all the way from Palm Ind but the fact that it took them 2 weeks toe meant they came prepared".


    "There''s a high chance that we''ll be facing more than 3 psychopaths, and if we''re even more unlucky, we may be facing a Grade D expert also".


    "No, we''ll be facing a Grade D expert". Legs changed his words. "I doubt that old geezer would miss the chance to get back at us for his humiliation".


    "Master, so what''s the n?"


    Legs smiled. "You''re getting smarter". He gave Christensen a thumb up. "I say we beat them at their own game and hunt them down".


    "The fact that they''ve not attacked us yet likely mean that they intend to ambush and kill us in the night when we are asleep".


    "We will hunt them down and attack them before they do".


    "This will grant us the initiative so that in the case we cannot win against them, we''ll easily have the option of retreating and escaping from the ind".


    "With the Chefron, they cannot catch us".


    "But that beast left to seast week and has not returned yet, how are you sure that it hasn''t deserted us?"


    "Because it likes me". Legs smiled. "Let''s follow them".


    For the first time, Legs let someone else do the tracking while he followed. Like Christensen said, indeed, he already mastered tracking and with his talent, their speed of tracking was blistering as they moved through the forest.


    Following from behind, Legs was all smiles as the progress of unlocking this OP talent increased by another 2 points as they moved.


    As they moved, Christensen suddenly paused, then he sniffed the air before whispering. "I smell them¡­, I smell humans".


    "¡­" Legs was petrified in speechlessness.


    He was left even more speechless when the virtual interface lit up.

    ''Damn, this guy is a walking treasure trove''. Legs salivated in his mind.


    All main NPC characters in Dominator had exclusive talents and abilities that made them iconic, originally, lucky yers could get these talents bypleting missions that were issued by these NPCs.


    Legs never expected to reap all the benefits just by being Christensen''s teacher. ''Teaching is the best profession ever, no one can convince me otherwise''.

 Chapter 83 The Hunt [2]

    30 minutester, Christensen stopped.


    For the 2nd time, he put his head into the air and sniffed. "I can perceive their scent better now¡­" Christensen whispered as he tried to focus more.


    "There are 1¡­, 2, 3¡­, 6, 7 humans". He continued. "Wait, I perceive another scent, what is this¡­, Hounds?"


    Whoosh!


    Almost at the same time that he heard the ''h'' part of the one-sybic word Hound, Legs grabbed Christensen by the head before pushing him under the cluster of bush where they stopped to look.


    At the same time that they moved, faraway in the distance, 3 Bloodhounds with deep hazel eyes turned their head in that direction as their ears stood up.


    In their hiding spot, Christensen started sweating bullets as he whispered. "Their hounds almost caught us, their leader is trying to calm them down now".


    "How the hell did you know?"


    "I heard".

    "¡­" Legs was no longer surprised.


    He onlymented. ''And there goes all my dignity as a master tracker, my student already far exceeded me''.


    Despite the irony of the situation, Legs did not pay much attention to it, rather he was grateful for Christensen unlocking his potential at this moment.


    With his right hand still pressing Christensen''s head down, they stayed like that for the next 10 minutes until Legs asked.


    "Do you still hear them?"


    "Yes, I can hear the Hounds breathing loudly, the psychopaths are mostly quiet but 2 of them seem problematic and are engaging in funny conversations".


    "Also, you were right, that old geezer indeed came".


    "I didn''t know I could do it before but I recognize his breathing pattern".


    "¡­" Legs was short for words. ''So f*cking OP!"


    He onlyplimented in his mind to avoid inting his student''s ego.


    "Good". He finally spoke again. "Now stand up as slowly as you can".


    Christensen obeyed as they stood up. With the current darkness of the night, they could not see faraway to see their enemies. This also meant that their enemies could not see them too which meant that they still had the advantage.


    "You said you detected 7 superhumans".


    "Yes".


    "Ok, before engaging them, we''ll need to confirm that".


    "Why? Can''t we just go in and kill them now?"


    Bonk!


    Legs smacked him on the head then rmed, they hid in the bush again.


    "You''re so foolish". Legs drew his ear. "We need to scout the surroundings to confirm that they are 7, what if there are others and we blindly engage them only to be surrounded which would then lead to our death?"


    "Ahh¡­" Christensen cried in remorse. "I''m sorry master, I''m still too na?ve, please punish me".


    Legs dragged his ears again. "We''ll have to wait another 10 minutes now".


    10 minutester, they stood up again. With Legs leading this time, they walked round a perimeter around their enemies with Christensen checking to see clues of other enemies in the surroundings.


    15 minutester, they confirmed that there were only 7 enemies.


    "Ok, here is the battle n".


    "For safety reasons, let''s assume that there are more Pugilists".


    "I will go after the old geezer and hold him back. If the opportunityes, I''ll kill him but its not a guarantee so you''re the pivot of the n".


    "I''ve trained you for 2 weeks, it''s time to prove yourpetence".


    "Ak and the Wolves will be avable to you. Join them to fight the remaining 6 warriors until Leo arrives and when he does," Legs''s eyes glowed in the darkness. "Finish them off!"


    "Yes, master!" Christensen felt his blood boiling.


    The next moment, with Legs taking the lead, they tip-toed out.


    Christensen already nocked an arrow on his makeshift bow as they moved. He could hear the loud breathing of the Hounds clearly, and through their sounds, he was able to pinpoint their position.


    As they tip-toed, they stayed alert until the Bloodhounds were rmed.


    Baff! Baff!


    The Bloodhounds stood up as they barked loudly, alerting their masters.


    Whoosh!


    They barely started barking before Christensen aimed and shot.


    One of the Hounds whimpered the next moment as it fell in a pool of its own blood, alerting the psychopaths even more as they drew out their weapons.

    Legs charged towards the enemies before they could organize themselves. Mid-sprint, a rainbow bridge appeared in the night through which a pack of wolves and a ck Nightmare Beast jumped out.


    "Roar!" Predator announced his presence powerfully is he smacked one of the Pugilists with his ws, causing the man to fly away while bleeding.


    "Die filthy beast!"


    The next moment, fire sprouted from the boots of the Red Master, illuminating the surroundings as he levitated into the skies.


    He muttered strange words rapidly as his staff glowed.


    The next moment, 3 fireballs descended from the skies towards Predator.


    "Roar!"


    Predator roared in deviance at the perfect moment when Legs finally arrived and dived into him, seamlessly fusing with him like a fish to water.


    As soon as they fused, their energy increased to a ridiculous level.


    -----


    You have activated skill: Scale Defense


    You have activated skill: w Barrage


    You have activated Special Ability: Dark Arrow


    ----


    Boom!


    Legs shed directly with the 3 powerful fireballs, inducing a powerful explosion in the battlefield as a bright light illuminated everywhere.


    This bright light did not just hinder his vision, it also hindered the old geezer''s vision and this was the window where the Dark Arrow passed through seamlessly.


    Bam!


    It tore the old Elementalist''s defense open, inflicting a deep injury in his chest as blood flowed in waves while he lost his bnce in the air.


    "You shall die today old man!" Legs taunted as he sprinted towards him.


    The old man coughed blood. "How dare you?!!!"


    Their battle started in earnest as Summoner Energy shed with Elementalist energy, paving the way for Christensen to run riot in the other battlefield.


    After killing the first Bloodhound, before closing the distance, Christensen released another arrow which killed another Bloodhound.


    Thest one barked angrily and pounced on him but was intercepted by one of the wolves that charged out of the beast ne.


    Alongside Ak and the Wolves, Christensen pounced on the enemies.


    Like Legs guessed, there was only 1 summoner who tamed the 3 Bloodhounds, the others were 3 Pugilists and 2 Elementalists.


    "Bring it on fools!"


    "You shall be my perfect training graduation tools".


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Christensen foolishly shed with one of the Pugilists in hand-to-handbat only to have 3 of his ribs broken as he was thrashed.


    Compared to a Pugilist, he was still a novice in hand-to-handbat.


    Before the Pugilist could finish him though, a familiar face arrived.


    "Awoo!"


    Christensen was excited. "Leo, let''s give him a dose of death!"


    "Leo-Chris Beast Combo: Barrage of Death!"


    "We believe in gym-freak Summoners!" He yelled.

 Chapter 84 Christensens Graduation

    "Leo-Chris Beast Combo: Barrage of Death!"


    "We believe in gym-freak Summoners!"


    Christensen''sbination attack with Leo was nothing short of sick.


    Having witnessed his master fusing with Predator to devastating effect, hemented his inability to learn the Intermediate knowledge yet and was why he worked hard with Leo to create a mini version of it.


    Once again, the sound was like exploding dominoes.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Leo''s ws alongside Christensen''s dagger attacks reduced the Pugilist to a puddle of blood. Previously, he did it against an invisible enemy, now, Christensen finally graduated and did it against a real enemy.


    He was excited as his blood boiled hotter. "Who''s next?!" He yelled.


    On seeing one of them beingboed to death so easily, the other 5 Grade E psychopaths were shocked. Before they could fully recover though, Ak and Warg made abination attack of wind and dark energy.


    The Elementalist could not stand it, he was pulverizedpletely.


    In less than a minute since the battle started, 2 of them were already dead. All the others were shaken into alertness as they finally formed a battle formation.


    The Elementalist and the Summoner retreated to the back of the formation as the Summoner sent his White Tiger contracted beast to lead the formation.


    Hiding just behind the massive White Tiger was a petite female with a spear, a Pugilist with such slim and tender muscles that Christensen could feel her agility through. A thick killing intent surrounded her that it almost solidified.


    Without a doubt, this was the Pugilist Assassin who mastered the serum ability most among the 3 and she was the most dangerous enemy.


    Behind her was thest traditional Pugilist who had no weapon, his fists were his weapons.


    The battle formation that they formed enabled them to iste the 2 terrible Wind and Dark Wolves and their wolf pack to the back.


    "Now!" The petite female Pugilist yelled as the White Tiger pounced towards the Frost Wolf and its master.


    As the White Tiger pounced, the only surviving Elementalist in the team also took action as she spammed AOE attack skills at the wolves.


    Feeling challenged, Leo responded and also pounced towards the massive Tiger. Christensen was supposed to control his beast but he didn''t care at this moment, he was too excited to care as he let Leo do what it wanted.


    The Frost Wolf and the White Tiger soon started a frenzied brawl.


    With this, Leo was exposed. He barely even got to register his current situation before the petite female Pugilist disappeared, she moved like a ghost, like a shadow that was not restricted by the naturalws of physics.


    Christensen felt his danger senses tingling the next moment.


    Shing!


    He barely managed to duck while unsheathing his sword before the Pugilist arrived. Her spear moved with such speed like it was a vampire bat that smelled blood, Christensen could do very little against it.


    ng!


    His sword managed to make contact with the spear, barely changing its trajectory but he was still injured as his left ear was cleanly cut off by the spear.


    "Ugh¡­" Christensen growled in pain as he was finally grounded in reality.


    The pain stimted him, bringing his brain back to the reality that this was a real battle where he could die if he wascent.


    ''Damn, what was I thinking?''


    ''Master warned me about this!''


    Bam! Bam!


    The petite female did not stop there as her legs moved with speed like phantoms. With Christensen on guard, she could no longer dice him to pieces with her spear and instead opted to beat him with her legs.


    She kicked him twice on the chest, breaking a few of his ribs as Christensen coughed blood but he endured it all and finally gave a mentalmand.


    Leo was forced to retreat from his current battle against the White Tiger as through the Basic Beast Energy Augmentation knowledge, Christensen finally augmented his Frost Wolf''s strength.


    ''Freeze her!'' Hemanded in his mind.


    As soon as Leo released his frost powers, the petite Pugilist jumped, barely dodging it and avoiding being frozen into an ice statue as she escaped.


    With her escape, Christensen reunited with Leo as his eyes shone red.


    He rapidly surveyed the battlefield then he arrived at a n.


    "Ak, target the Summoner".


    "Warg, use your dark powers to restrict the 2 Pugilists'' speed".


    "The wolves can take the Elementalist alone".


    The wolves knew that Christensen was their master''s student, they obeyed his orders as they soon also formed their own battle formation.


    Ak was a Grade D Wind Wolf, none of the enemies could stand up to him in a one on one battle, the traditional Pugilist desperately tried to stop him from getting ess to the Summoner whom he protected.


    With Warg restricting the fast female Pugilist, Leo was free to also restrict the enemies by releasing frost to restrict their movements while Christensen who was on top it was now also free with his bow and arrow.


    As the male traditional Pugilist desperately tried to stop Ak, Christensen aimed at his back.


    "Haman, dodge!" The petite Pugilist screamed but it was toote.


    Whoosh!


    The arrow dug unhindered into the Pugilist''s skull.


    Then with aplimentary smack with his powerful paws, Ak sent the Pugilist to the afterlife, leaving the Summoner unprotected.


    Feeling threatened, the summoner called his White Tiger back but this fellow stood no chance before Ak. Ak killed the summoner in no time, turning the battle around in the blink of an eye.


    Everything happened so fast, the petite Pugilist was left in a daze.


    Distracted by 2 of herrades dying in quick session, thest Elementalist was unable to react as Warg appeared from the shadows behind him, assassinating him in a gruesome manner befitting the status of a Dark Wolf.


    All of them died, only the petite Pugilist was still alive.


    Her eyes turned red in rage as she red at Christensen. "You¡­!"


    She grabbed her spear tighter and rushed towards him like the wind, like Christensen suspected, her speed made it seem like she moved through shadows.


    This time though, he was prepared.


    "Leo, Ice Domain!"


    "Spear Icicles!"


    Without hesitation, Leo executed all the orders.


    The ice domain made a region of 5 meters around the Frost Wolf feel like a quagmire as thick frost filled the air. In this thickness, the petite Pugilist appeared from the shadows as her speed was slowed down


    She appeared on time for the spear icicles that were formed by Leo to beunched towards her. She moved fast, dodging 3 of them but thest one hit.


    As she looked down at the icicle that pierced her abdomen, she heard the wind blow. Before she could raise her spear, Christensen already descended.


    He sliced her neck off with one smooth motion of his sword.


    "Y-you¡­" She stammered and gurgled, then her head rolled off.


    Christensen turned his head as blood flowed. "That is for my ear".


    Then he looked up at his master fighting as he ignored the pain from his ear. "Master, I graduated".

    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    In the Berserk Nightmare Beast state, Legs''s power increased even more as he jumped into the sky like a rocket, catching up to the old geezer as he beat the heck out of him before smacking him to the ground with a powerful w attack.


    "Ugh¡­" The Red Master coughed blood as soon as hended.


    He groaned in pain as he could feel all his muscles and bone in pains.


    He struggled to stand up then he looked all around him, all his subordinates were dead, he was the only one left alive.


    Thud!


    Legs finallynded as he walked towards him.


    Looking at this Summoner, he gritted his teeth. "You¡­!!!"


    "The next time, I will butcher you, mutte you, kill you¡­"


    "Who told you there''s a next time?" Legs smiled eerily.


    "We''ll see". The next moment, he roused all his Elementalist energy as fire sprouted from under his legs again. He rapidly rose into the sky and escaped.


    Legs was not having it this time though.


    The next moment, he willed it as he finally separated from Predator then he started sprinting towards Ak who was eagerly awaiting his arrival.

    [Remark: When fused with Ak, you''re a speed demon!]


    ----


    Unlike when he looked like a dark asura from hell after fusing with Predator, Legs looked like an entirely different beast after fusing with Ak.


    His hair turned white and spiky. He did not grow much in size but his muscles became much more pronounced especially his leg muscles, his legs at this moment were like those of a divine horse ready to run through the nine heavens.


    And unlike when he fused with Predator, Legs''s charm increased even more. His face became more streamlined and handsome, while his ears elongated like a wolves'' which surprisingly made him look more handsome.


    At this moment, Legs did not pay attention to how handsome he looked though, what he paid attention to was his strength.


    He clenched his fists and felt his new strength. "My overall control level is 53%, I expected it since this is my first time fusing with Ak".


    "My strength is weaker than when I fused with Predator but¡­" Legs grinned. "My speed is much faster, I feel my electrons in an excited state. Damn, I feel like the sh without running already".


    ''Master, orders?'' Ak soonmunicated through their telepathic connection as he already understood what happened.


    Rex smiled. "Just stay still and watch the show".


    Rex closed his eyes and focused.

    Passive ability has been triggered: Wind Envoy


    ----


    As soon as the Wind Envoy passive ability was triggered, Legs felt the surrounding wind elemental energy in the atmosphereing under his control.


    With eyes that now crackled fiercely with wind and electricity, green wind elemental energy started moving around him, he became the eye of the storm.


    Legs looked onest time at the skies at the escaping old Elementalist, then he finally took the first step.


    Boom!


    Like a ghost, Legs exploded with speed as wind blew fiercely and apanied him. A tornado seemed to form behind him as he sprinted after the escaping Elementalist, he was the eye of the storm.


    Amid all the flying dust and debris in the night, the old Elementalist looked from the skies astonished while Christensen pursued on top Leo in disbelief.


    Legs''s speed was so fast that he closed the distance in no time, the only reason why he didn''t get the Elementalist yet was that he was flying.


    Despite being in the skies, the injured Elementalist no longer felt safe. His fear made him expend even more of his remaining Elementalist energy as the fire under his legs burned fiercer, rapidly increasing his speed.


    Legs easily kept up with his speed as his brain worked like aputer.


    ''We''ll reach the edge of the ind in 20 seconds, I have 19 seconds to find a solution to get him to fall out of the sky''.


    As Legs thought, he soon spotted a boulder ahead of him as he sprinted.


    On seeing the boulder, an idea instantly shed through his brain as he elerated towards the boulder. On seeing his movements, the Elementalist instantly guessed his intentions as he panicked and flew higher into the sky.


    After closing the distance to the massive boulder, Legs jumped and stomped on it with his powerful legs beforeunching into the skies.


    Boom!


    He rapidly flew into the skies but the Elementalist elevated higher.


    Legs''s brain worked swiftly, he calcted the distance remaining between them in the skies now and instantly improvised.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Nature Call


    You have activated active ability: Wind ws


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    ----


    Whoosh!


    The nature call ability induced a hurricane as soon as it was activated.


    The Elementalist struggled to escape in the sky but the distance was already too close, he roared in despair as he was caught in the middle of the massive hurricane that now stirred a greatmotion in the forest.


    The Elementalist soon lost himself in the fierce hurricane.


    This was the window of opportunity that he had been waiting for. Using the same momentum that he got fromunching himself from the boulder, Legs assisted himself with his wind control and dived straight into the raging hurricane.


    He was the master of this hurricane, it didn''t affect him.


    His ws turned sharp and became coated with sharp wind energy as he located the Elementalist in the hurricane, then he ruthlessly aimed at his legs.


    Bam! Bam!


    2 collision sounds and the ws smoothly cut off the Elementalist''s 2 legs.


    "Ahh¡­" The old Elementalist roared in pain.


    As soon as he lost his legs, the fire sprouting underneath them was extinguished as he lost his flight power.


    The pain also made him lose control, making him let go of his Elementalist staff in the process as his power reduced even more.


    The next moment, under Legs''s control, the hurricane finally stopped as the seriously injured Elementalist finally started falling from the skies.


    Hended with a thud as his muscles and bone were torn apart by the force.


    Bam!


    Legs finally descended from the skies andnded beside him.


    The Elementalist coughed blood as heughed. "You are strong¡­"


    "I know".


    "Why don''t you be a psychopath? The Clown is the most¡­"


    "I''m not interested".


    The Elementalistughed, causing him to cough more blood. "You have a lot of potential to be stronger but unfortunately, you opposed the Clown Society".


    "You don''t know the behemoth that you are going up against¡­" He coughed. "Against the Clown Society, you can never win". He red at Legs.


    "I''m looking forward to the challenge". Legs looked calmly back at him.


    "This is your only hope to survive, save me and¡­"


    "Master you did it!" The old Elementalist''s dying pleas were interrupted by Christensen who arrived after a great chase.


    He jumped from on top Leo who was still sprinting and rolled on the ground to arrive at the impact site.


    After standing, Christensen looked down at the old Elementalist, the man that was responsible for his parent''s death as he clenched his fists.


    "Master, I want to kill him".


    "I know". Legs patted his shoulder and gave him one of the G-96 pistols. "That''s why I kept him alive for so long".


    As he received the pistol, tears flowed down Christensen''s eyes. "I will never forget this favor, I will never betray your trust".


    "Do it". Legs smiled. "You''ve said that so many times already, it''s not good crying all the time though".


    Chistensenughed and wiped his tears then he aimed with the pistol straight at the Elementalist''s head.


    The old Elementalistughed. "Your sisters really misjudged you".


    Then he closed his eyes in fanatic fervency. "For the Clown!"


    "I know". Christensen imitated his master then he pulled the trigger.


    Bam!


    The Red Master of the Clown Society died.

    [You and your faction have wiped out an elite team of the Clown Society.]


    [+0.3% progress in Grade A Mission: Enemy of the Clown Society.]


    [Current Progress Bar: 1.5%]


    ----


    ''1%?'' Legs was shocked. ''Damn, this old man must have been a really important member of the Clown Society, not just a powerful warrior''.


    As he looked at the dead corpse of this powerful enemy, Christensen clenched his free left fist as hopes of an optimistic future opened up for him.


    Just about a month ago, he was still the useless prince of the Palm Ind but now, after spending just about a month and some weeks with his master, he was now able to kill other Grade E superhumans.


    Not only that, he just pulled the trigger to end the life of an important member of the organization that was responsible for his misery.


    ''I was really lucky to meet master''.


    ''Fate is really a mysterious element''.


    The next moment, Christensen bent down before taking the ne that hung on the neck of the old Elementalist''s corpse.


    He stood up and turned to face his master. "Master, I want to take this as a war trophy, can I?


    "Do anything you want, you''re not a kid".


    ''You''re even older than me in this world''. Legs ruminated in exasperation.


    "Thanks Master". Christensen was excited.


    Christensen already took what he wanted as his war trophy but Legs had even greater ambitions for his war trophy, he bent and examined the corpse.


    Legs only saw a few thousand Darvis credits on him, he also took the old Elementalist''s enchanted dagger which he didn''t have the opportunity to use in the previous battle due to how fiercely he kept him contained.


    Legs examined his loot through his virtual interface.

    >+20% Base Damage and +50% Fire Damage<


    [Remark: A powerful dagger full of hell''s wrath for fiery destruction!]


    ----


    ''Damn, I got good stuff this time''.


    As Christensen looked at the ck dagger with fiery red stripes around its de that his master picked, he could not help but pout in frustration.


    "Master, that dagger looks powerful".


    "Yeah, I know". Legsughed. "Last lesson in this training, next time when you kill a superhuman warrior, make sure to loot his belongings".


    "Ah, copy that".


    "¡­" Legs tilted his head. "Where did you learn that?"


    "The military use it so I thought it would be cool if I used it".


    Legs tsked. "It''sme".


    Legs did not stand up yet though, the enchanted dagger was just an additional boon for him, his real target was the old Elementalist''s storage ring all along, there was a high chance of good stuff being in there.


    Legs also examined the storage ring through his virtual interface.

    [Remark: A powerful dagger filled with the underworld''s cold anger!]


    ----


    Once again, Legs was surprised by the caliber of loot that he got. "This old man is really something, he''s got some nice loot".


    His brag only made Christensen envious but Legs did not pay attention to him. Purple grade weapons were more than Legs expected to get.


    In Dominator, after themon and umon grade weapons came the purple grade, the pink grade, white grade, and then the gold grade weapons.


    The daggers were more or less the only things that Legs got from the old Elementalist. He didn''t need Elementalist knowledge and even if he intended to sell them, he didn''t need them here since Aaron already took care of his needs.


    With the old Elementalist stuck in his grey world, he did not only have ess to all the mana that he needed but also to all Elementalist knowledge.


    To increase his training efficiency, Legs told Aaron to withhold his mana ess to him but the Elementalist was obligated to help if his life was in danger.


    Among the Elementalist knowledges, Legs especially recognized the Intermediate knowledge, fire emission.


    This Elementalist knowledge was famous among yers in his previous life as it was what enabled Elementalists to levitate the same way that the old Elementalist used to try escaping.


    Legs finally stood up, on looking at his pouting student, heughed before throwing the storage ring at him. "Take, you don''t have a storage ring".


    "Use it".


    Christensen was surprised as he caught it. "Damn, thank you master".


    Without hesitation, the excited prince wore the ring as he explored the mysterious treasure and the space that it had inside it.


    Though as a spoilt prince, he literally had ess to everything that he wanted, his parents wanted him to stay as far away as possible from the dangerous superhuman world and restrained superhuman treasures from him.


    This was Christensen''s first time wearing a storage ring.


    After looting the Elementalist, Legs was satisfied and finally let Christensen to enjoy the pleasure of looting. Christensen got to loot the Elementalist''s staff before also going to the other casualties to loot them.


    After the looting session, the triumphant duo finally returned to their hideout. After such amotion and the huge smell of blood, a lot of beasts would soon swarm this location to feast on the corpse of the dead psychopaths.


    "Are we going to leave them for beasts to eat them?"


    "Do you intend to bury them?" Legs threw a question back at him.


    "Ahh¡­" Christensen stammered. "Never mind".


    This time, Legs did not open the rainbow bridge to send Predator and the others away. Predator insisted and he let them stay with him.


    That night, Christensen was no longer his nuisance, Predator became his nuisance as through their telepathic connection, this Nightmare Beast bbered all about all his adventures and heroic feats in the beast ne.


    Predator was cold to others but to Legs, he was just too enthusiastic.


    Legs was tortured with his bbering till he finally fell asleep.

 Chapter 87 A Chefrons Breast Milk

    The next morning, Legs and Christensen woke up to clear skies.


    As soon as he woke up, after the victory yesterday, Christensen was even more hyped to start his training. Though it was merely 2 weeks ago when he started training, he could already see his progress and it left him happy.


    Legs stopped him before he could start training though.


    "I have a new lesson to teach you today".


    "Follow me".


    "Oh, ok". Christensen did not know the type of training that his master intended to put him through this time but he was hyped for it nheless.


    Legs took Christensen to the edge of the ind. As soon as they got there, he ced his hands to his mouth before whistling loudly.


    "Hey Kiddo! Where are you?" Legs yelled.


    "You in for some lollipop chocte?"


    Legs brought out the chocte that he already made in a lollipop shape before waving it towards the sea, the sea saw movement almost instantly.


    Whoosh!


    "Roar!" The massive Chefron roared enthusiastically as it swam towards the ind from the far distance where it was previously.


    Its speed was so fast that it only left white waves in its wake.


    "Chris, duck on my signal".


    "Ah¡­, yes master".


    "Wait¡­, wait¡­, now!"


    Legs and Christensen ducked just in time for the Chefron to leap out of the sea water. Legs threw the lollipop chocte up before ducking as the excited Chefron took the opportunity to pounce on it.


    It crunched on it and swallowed it on one gulp.


    The excited Chefron shook its long tail as it walked closer to Legs before rubbing its massive body against him, clearly, the beast already missed him.


    "Kiddo¡­" Legs smiled and rubbed its fur affectionately.


    After the escape from Palm Ind, Legs felt the urge from nowhere and gave the Chefron the name kiddo. Since then, it stuck to the beast like glue.


    After rubbing the beast''s fur to his satisfaction, Legs instructed Christensen to return to the hideout before mounting the beast as the excited Chefron took him on one of its energy runs around the ind.


    The Chefron sprinted round the ind 3 times before finally stopping to rest.


    "Good boy". Legs patted its head as it rested.


    Then he finally turned to face Christensen. "You remember the real reason why I was adamant to get the Chefron?"


    "Oh, for your potion?"


    "Yeah, today, you''ll watch me making the Ultimate Man Potion".


    "The potion form includes 10 Ginseng fruits, Drake fire leaves, Mud Water Leaves, Cafu weed, 10 Elysium Seeds, 3 Pine Leaves and a Crystal time stabilizer".


    "The crystal time stabilizer is the main catalyst to keep the reaction stable, it is what makes the potion''s effectsts and I don''t have ess to it".


    "Crystal time stabilizers can only be found in the dangerous depths of the Kunuk ciers, we are not ready to go there yet".


    "The only substitute that can be used in ce of a crystal time stabilizer is a Chefron''s breast milk and was why I was adamant to find this big guy".


    "Chefrons are peculiar beasts, they have a very loose notion of male and female. When they are happy, they tend to be overly excited and stimted which most times result in them producing breast milk involuntarily".


    Legsughed at Christensen''s reaction. "That''s Chefrons for you".


    The real hard part was getting the Chefron''s milk. For this, Legs needed a trick and he had just the right trick for this situation.


    "Watch and learn". Legs brought out his cauldron.


    After gathering the wood, as soon as he lit up the fire, he started putting the ingredients that were required to concoct the potion one after the order.


    He stirred at various intervals as Christensen watched attentively.


    It was the same step that he normally used but just a few minutes before the potion was done, Legs secretly brought out another lollipop chocte.


    Since it didn''t like fire, Kiddo had kept a safe distance since the potion concocting process began but its ultra-sensitive nose picked up on the smell almost instantly as soon as the chocte was unveiled.


    On turning to look, it saw the delicious delicacy dangling from Legs''s pocket. Kiddo''s eyes literally produced stars as it hesitated but it could not fight its basest instincts. Fire vs lollipop chocte, chocte won.


    Whoosh!


    Kiddo rapidly sprinted to steal the dangling delicacy.


    Almost at the same time that he felt the wind blow, Legs turned around with the cup that he already snuck out of his storage ring.


    As Kiddo stole the lollipop chocte, he was adept enough to grab its breast at the same time as he conveniently pressed, breast milk flowed out.


    Kiddo yelped in shock the next moment as it escaped. After escaping, it looked down at itself before looking at Legs.


    Legs smiled and winked at it. "That is your pay".


    The next moment, he brought special containers to store some of the milk before pouring the rest into the hot cauldron.


    It made a sizzling sound before turning calm again.


    4 minutester, Legs put off the fire before pouring its contents into 22 bottles that he already prepared before now.


    Then he turned to face Christensen. "And that''s how you concoct the Ultimate Man Potion form".


    "Wow, the process seemed magical".


    "I know".


    Legs smiled as he returned back to the Chefron tofort it after getting is breast milk stolen. As heforted the beast, he also gave Christensen new orders on how to continue his training.


    "From today, stop allbat training".


    "The news of their psychopaths dying won''t stay hidden for long. This ind will not stay safe for us, we need to leave but before that, I want you to have gotten your 2nd contracted beast already".


    "Master the Basic Beast ne Traveler knowledge in 2 days".


    "Yes master, I understand!"


    Though he still hated it, on thinking of everything that he already achieved due to putting effort into his training, Christensen was motivated as he picked up the book before facing his fears to continue reading it.


    3 dayster, Christensen finally learned his 5th basic summoner knowledge.

 Chapter 88 Ambitions

    Christensen woke up on the 4th day feeling emotional.


    It was just a few months ago when he was still a Grade E Summoner with no strength, no beast control, and zero battle instincts. But fast-forward a monthter alongside his master, here he was as a great Summoner already.


    Leo still had a way to go before he could level up to the Grade D realm but Christensen was not concerned about that, everything was worth it to him.


    His time, the cost for dedication, it was all worth it.


    Thinking back to how just less than 3 weeks ago, he was so worthless in battle against his 2 talented sisters but now he could kill Grade E psychopaths of the Clown Society left him feeling like he finally had a purpose in life.


    His new purpose in life was to stay loyal to his master.


    His new purpose in life was to serve his master.


    And his new purpose in life was to exceed his master.


    Christensen was determined to try his best to achieve these 3 things.


    That morning the sun was bright as its golden rays shone from the horizons, bathing the ind in it''s beautiful embrace, forming a scenery that was almost only seen in masterpiece paintings.


    As Christensen admired the view, he sighed. "I''vee a long way".


    "Stop saying it like you''re an old man at his sick bed already". Legs joked as both of them burst into a fit ofughter.


    Alongside his student, Legs admired the ind and the sea while thinking about a lot of things. Legs thought about his reincarnation again.


    Though he seemed to have epted the exnation of the so-called God of Games about his reincarnation, he was not satisfied with such half-ass answers.


    That may be the truth but his curiosity was more ambitious than that. If the God of Games was really a God, did that mean gods were real? And did that have any rtion with the progression of supers in this world?


    Having read of chatan powerhouses that feigned god in some isekai novels in his previous life, he could not cut off this possibility from his mind.


    What if the God of Games was just an extremely powerful super? What if he didn''t know anything and was actually lying all along?


    He behaved like he epted the God of Games'' exnation to take him off his back. In reality, he was still as curious as ever.


    To know the truth behind his reincarnation and break the veil of mystery, he would do anything possible to get it even if that meant facing gods and demons.


    ''Like they say, if my curiosity dies, I die''.


    ''I can''t let my curiosity die''.


    Through the corner of his eyes, Legs peeked at Christensen. At some point in time, without even knowing, he already strayed from the real reason why he decided to take Christensen in.


    He took the young prince in to take advantage of his future status as a powerhouse and main character, but now their rtionship already grew a lot.


    He didn''t even know if he could take advantage of Christensen anymore, their bond already developed a lot.


    Legsughed. ''The human mind is really so vulnerable and attachable''.


    The next moment, Legs patted Christensen on the shoulder. "Big man Chris, as it seems, you''ve finally graduated from my boot camp training".


    "You''ve now mastered 5 of the 6 basic summoner knowledge that I mastered".


    "You''ve mastered the art of tracking".


    "You''ve honed yourbat instincts".


    "You''re a great summoner already".


    "Overall, you''ve made me proud as a master and as a reward for your efforts like I promised, take, this is the Enhanced Knowledge intermediate knowledge".


    Christensen took the book with stars and tears practically filling his eyes. The stars in his eyes was for the excitement of getting even stronger, while the tears were for the pain that learning an intermediate knowledge would bring.


    "Thank you master, I''ll never forget your favor".


    Legs nodded calmly. "That is the end of my training for you, to get any more goodies from me," Legs smiled. "You need to pay".


    "As a member of my faction, do things to get contribution points since it is the easier way to get ess to my knowledge and the things that I have".


    "Word hard kid". Legs patted him again.


    "Lastly, tomemorate your graduation, you need your 2nd contracted beast since you''re now qualified to enter the beast ne".


    "Yes, I''ve been thinking of that". Christensen rubbed his blonde hair.


    "Master, what type of beast do you think I should get for my 2nd contracted beast? I want your advice to choose".


    Legs smiled. "Choosing a contracted beast is always a personal decision but if you want my expert advice, I can give it".


    "You already have Leo who is a powerful Frost Wolf".


    "With it''s strength, speed, and frost powers, Leo practically took care of most of your offensive and defensive duties already".


    "I think a support beast would be better for your cause".


    "Until you develop beast control that is up to my level, I don''t advise getting a beast that can lead a herd yet since you won''t bring out their full potential yet".


    "Wait till you are ready before going for it".


    "Besides, from your training, I already observed that tracking is your greatest trait. I advise that you try to improve it more to make it lethal".


    "That way, you can use it to easily build a notorious reputation for yourself".


    "With all these points, I think you should get a tracker dog".


    "They''re incredibly hard to catch but I believe you can do it".


    Christensen thought for a few seconds before nodding energetically. "Ok master, a tracker dog it is then".


    For the next few minutes, they spent their time admiring the ind until they finally got ready to go. Christensen turned to face his master.


    "Master, what will you do when I''m out?"


    "I''ll also go to the beast ne". Legs sighed. "Lucky has not been back in weeks, I need to go see what happened to her, who knows if she''s already dead?"


    "Ahh¡­" Christensen jumped. "Don''t say that, she''s too lucky to die".


    Theyughed some more before they opened the rainbow bridge.


    "Meet me here in 5 days". Legs instructed Christensen before jumping into the rainbow bridge that immediately took him away.


    Shockingly, the Chefron who had been watching since was curious as before Legs could react, it jumped in also, following him to the beast ne.


    Christensen scratched his head. "Uhh¡­, ok".


    Then he also jumped inside the rainbow bridge.


    Bzzz!

 Chapter 89 Fighting The Gigantic Titan Rhino

    Bzzz!


    After a brief moment of disorientation, Legs regained his sight.


    Looking around him, he saw himself in the familiar dust-filled mountain range close to where he subdued Ak during their first meeting.


    Legs turned to face Ak. "You guys have not explored past here?"


    ''We''ve explored far further than here but Predator with his blockhead always insist that wee back here. He argues that this is a sacred location that you choose yourself to lead our rise into these vast nes''.


    "¡­" Legs was left speechless.


    He turned to look at Predator who reciprocated heroically. "Roar!"


    "Sh*t, I know, ok, but when did you start spouting such bullsh*t?"


    "Roar!"


    "Ugh¡­, nevermind".


    Predator still made noise as he tried to argue his point through the telepathic rtionship that he was right, in the end, Legs had to give in to his energetic Nightmare Beast again so that he could have his peace of mind.


    After leaving his 2 contracted beasts and the wolves, Legs finally directed a stern look towards the mischievous Chefron who was now looking around in amazement at his new surroundings.


    "The f*ck kiddo, I told you to go back to sea".


    "Roar!"


    "But your promised to listen to me".


    "Roar!"


    "You''ll listen to me only when you want? Great".


    After scolding the Chefron who was still pretty fascinated by his new surroundings, Legs started thinking of the strange phenomenon.


    Originally, summoners were not supposed to bring anything to the beast ne apart from their contracted beasts. Bringing any other thing required sacrifices like getting internal injuries and other penalties.


    That was why he was left even more injured after he brought Christensen and the other 2 members of his faction to the beast ne during the showdown against the swordmaster that almost cost his life.


    For some strange reason though, with Chefron, nothing of that sort happened as he waspletely fine. "Is this a fluke?"


    "Or is it due to kiddo''s uniqueness?" Legs was confused.


    After a bit of thinking, he arrived at a theory.


    Chefrons after evolving to a certain level are able to unlock the powers of space to further increase their speed to a ridiculous level, Legs guessed that it was due to kiddo''s dormant space powers that he was not penalized.


    He didn''t pay too much attention to that though. At this moment, getting Lucky from whatever situation that she was stuck in was priority.


    Though Lucky was not his contracted beast but was rather his pet, perhaps because she came to him as a gift from his virtual interface, she had an even stronger telepathic rtionship with him than his contracted beasts.


    Through the telepathic connection, Legs could vaguely sense where she was and was how he was able to confirm that she was still alive.


    "Predator, Ak, go y with the wolves".


    "I will be going alone with kiddo".


    Moving with such a number of beasts in the beast ne would surely draw unnatural attention and Legs intended to keep it low, this was why he decided to go with only kiddo.


    The Chefron tried to protest its freedom but Legs was not having it.


    "Since you came here, you''ll have to help me".


    "Come on and stop cking let''s go".


    Kiddo was reluctant at first, Legs had to bring another chocte before this swift beast carried him and started sprinting away.


    Legsughed. ''Chocte for a beast''s loyalty is such a bargain''.


    ¡­


    Thud!


    Just like his first time of going to the beast ne, Christensennded in an unnatural angle as his waist started aching.


    Heined. "Why can''t Ind in a cool manner for once? So depressing, it kind of negates all the effort I put into training".


    Due to the fact that they entered through different bridge openings, Christensen arrived at an entirely different part of the beast ne.


    Christensen did not stand up immediately, he decided to lie down a bit to regain his strength but he soon noticed something wrong. "Why is Leo so silent and why is the atmosphere turning so stiff?"


    "Achoo¡­" Christensen rubbed his nose, this was when he felt it.


    The feeling of airing out of another nose brushed past his face.


    At first, he felt disgusted before a sense of dread grew in him as the thought of how big a beast whose nostril air alone could make him feel that way was.


    Christensen peeked at Leo who was now shaking in its boots, he felt goosebumps as he finally gathered the courage to look up.


    He first saw arge mass of brown flesh, tracing it up to the nose where the air came from, he finally saw the full face of this gigantic beast.


    "A Titan Rhino?" Christensen almost pissed his pants.


    This massive Rhino was taller than a normal human adult and with its massive body frame like an elephant, it was a gigantic horror monster.


    Having looked at the tiny object thatnded on its front since, the Rhino lost interest and simply decided to squash it under its foot like a bug.


    Christensen''s breath seized. "Holy sh*t¡­, holy sh*t!"


    "Beast ne summoning activate¡­!"


    "Beast ne summoning activate¡­!"


    Christensen''s panic action worked as the rainbow bridge appeared, he crawled into it with the fastest speed that he could muster, disappearing.


    He dodged the Titan Rhino''s stomp by mere inches.


    He arrived back in Darvis gasping for breath. "Oh gosh, that was so close, I thought I was about to die".


    "Leo, you okay¡­?" Christensen paused mid-sentence.


    He turned around and looked everywhere, then tears started pouring down his eyes. "F*ck me! I left Leo behind in panic!"


    Legs panicked even more at the thought of losing hispanion.


    His almost 3 weeks training was not for naught though. Legs forcibly calmed himself down since panicking would not solve anything as he started thinking of a rational strategy to save hispanion and escape the Titan Rhino.


    He finished making a makeshift n in just 2 seconds.


    "Ok, it''s now or never, here Ie".


    "Beast ne summoning, activate!"


    As soon as the familiar rainbow bridge opened, Christensen jumped in with his sword already on his hands. He arrived just in time when the gigantic Titan Rhino was about to squash Leo to death having cornered it.


    In desperation, Leo was trying hard to freeze the surroundings to restrict the Rhino''s movement to no avail, it was just too big and powerful.


    As soon as Christensen saw the current situation, he improvised.


    ? "Leo, stop wasting your energy, focus on freezing its nose".


    As he ordered, with his sword, Christensen already took action as he rolled under the Titan Rhino having activated hisbat master ability already.


    As he rolled, he shed with his sword at the Titan Rhino''s right front leg.


    "Roar!"


    The gigantic Rhino grunted and growled in slight pain as it stomped at the annoying pest but Christensen was one step ahead as he dodged.


    He rolled all the way to its left front leg and also shed at it.


    "Roar!" The Rhino was fed up as it finally looked down.


    Almost at the same time that it looked down, it''s mutated long tail like a whipshed out at Christensen with such speed that Christensen was rmed.


    The tail was too fast, Christensen was not fast enough to dodge it so he instead took a foolish gamble. Christensen threw himself at the tail hoping that he was skilled enough to limit the impact by cushioning himself on the tail.


    It was simr to the trick that parkour experts use tond when jumping down from tall buildings but it was much more dangerous.


    Bam!


    The tail hit it''s target as it finally started retreating.


    Christensen had a bloody nose and an injury on his cheek but he survived the deadly strike and now clung to the tail as it retreated.


    Christensen was patient until the tail retreated fully, exposing the anus of the gigantic Titan Rhino to him as his eyes gleamed excitedly and ominously.


    "Now!" Christensen roared.


    The Titan Rhino felt the danger but Leo was a step ahead as it concentrated its frost on the Rhino''s nose and froze it, the gigantic Rhino sneezed.


    "Achoo¡­"


    The sneeze made it lose orientation, exposing it as Christensen finally made his move. He jumped from the tail before stabbing his sharp sword straight into the exposed anus of the gigantic Titan Rhino.


    "ROAR!!!"


    The gigantic Titan Rhino roared in pain before fainting.


    Christensen fell with a thud amid the dust. "Did I do it?"

 Chapter 90 A Band Of Armored Titan Rhinos And The Strange Ice Field

    "Did I do it?" Christensen asked as he struggled to stand up.


    Leo stood as still as a pig breast frozen in a deep freezer.


    The gigantic Titan Rhino fell just before him, but the beast was not dead. The wind induced by its powerful breathing pushed against Leo''s white fur and the Frost Wolf could not bring itself to do anything.


    As soon as Christensen stood up, Leo looked up at its master for help.


    At this moment, the Frost Wolf had a strange feeling. For a long time since it knew Christensen, it was always the one that protected the prince.


    There was never any situation where Christensen became capable enough to protect him. Leo was a powerful Frost Wolf but this Titan Rhino despite being a Grade E beast also was a next level horror, Leo was too frightened to fight.


    Christensen saving it from this situation left Leo feeling strange.


    Leo didn''t care though, at this moment what it wished for was to save its life, Christensen did not disappoint it. "Leo, easy boy¡­, stay put".


    Christensen learned a lot of things from Legs during their short time together and one of them was the strategies ofmunicating with beasts.


    His words seemed casual but they managed to keep Leo calm.


    Christensen sweat bullets as he thought of a way out of this situation.


    ''For Leo to feel so frightened, this beast must be a horrifying monster''.


    ''Even after such a deadly attack, it''s still alive''.


    ''Think Christensen¡­, think, f*ck, if only master was here''.


    Christensen took a few seconds to calm himself down but once he did he focused back on the massive Rhino. At this moment, the Titan Rhino was asleep which gave him 2 options, finishing it or running for it.


    ''If I decide to run for it and the Rhino wakes up, I''m screwed''.


    Calmer now, Christensen finally observed his surroundings.


    At this moment, they were stuck inside what felt like a normal depression that was on an ice floor. Probably, the Rhino''s weight made the ice to sink in.


    Yes, at this moment, Christensen finally understood the reason for the cold in the air as they found themselves in an icy in.


    He wondered what a Rhino of this size was doing here but it didn''t matter.


    He turned to face his beast. "Leo, look at me, stay calm and listen to me".


    "On my signal, we''ll attack the beast".


    "Target its eyes, I''ll try to stab its belly, we''re killing it".


    "3¡­, 2¡­, 1! Now!"


    Leo felt adrenaline flowing through it as it pounced on the massive Rhino. 2 spear icicles were formed the next moment which it flung at the Rhino''s eyes.


    ng!


    Metallic ringing sounds reverberated as the spears shattered.


    Beside the beast, Christensen''s eyes widened in shock as his sword also shattered on making contact with its exposed belly. "Such defense¡­"


    His eyes widened in horror. "It''s an Armored Titan Rhino!"


    Having been disturbed by the attack to its eyes, the Rhino''s massive eyes finally regained consciousness. As it looked at the white wolf that stood before it, it snorted before sneezing and farting at the same time.


    The arrogant fart seemed to cause an earthquake in this small space.


    This time, the Rhino did wonders as the ice that froze its nose shattered while the sword that stabbed its anus flew out following the fart like a hurricane.


    Christensen''s eyes widened in horror. "Run!"


    "He''s strong but he''s not fast!"


    Christensen got the answer that he wanted, against an Armored Titan Rhino, run, never fight against this anomaly of nature, that was what his master taught.


    As soon as Leo got the reassurance that the massive beast was not fast, it regained its confidence as it sprinted around the depression that was formed in the ice. Mid-sprint, Christensen mounted it then it finally jumped.


    Leo''s powerful legs propelled it all the way out of the depression, barely escaping the horns of the Rhino which it used to try attacking them as they escaped.


    "Phew¡­!"


    As he saw the blue skies, Christensen heaved a sigh of relief as Leo finallynded and copsed on the floor tired from the exertion.


    "We escaped". Christensen rolled down from Leo''s back.


    As soon as he rolled down, he saw a familiar massive brown skin blocking his view of the sun as a pair of curious eyes looked down at him.


    Christensen froze then he traced the eyes down. It was exactly the same Armored Titan Rhino, just a much smaller one, a baby.


    The baby Rhino was not the problem though, the problem was that at this moment, Christensen felt that he suddenly became the center of attention to a certain group as even Leo jolted awake.


    He closed his eyes to steel his nerves then he opened them and looked. Like he observed, he was indeed in a cold environment filled with snow and ice.


    This was a massive ice field that spanned dozens of kilometers as far as he could see, with icebergs floating some distance away which indicated that this was ice that formed on top a sea.


    It didn''t matter though, what mattered was that about a dozen pair of eyes belonging to massive Armored Titan Rhinos were now focused on them.


    Christensen felt his breath seizing as he whispered. "A band¡­., a band¡­"


    "A f*cking band of Armored Titan Rhinos!" He screamed. "Run!!!"


    This time, Leo did not need a 2nd reminder to spring up to escape. As soon as Christensen mounted its back, the Frost Wolf exploded with speed.


    As soon as they saw them, all the Armored Titan Rhinos stood up.


    "Roar!" These beasts roared beforeing for them.


    Christensen tried his best to stay calm as he directed Leo. One thing that gave him confidence now was that Leo was at his best in this environment.


    A Frost Wolf was at its effective best in a snow region.


    "Leo, Ice Domain".


    "Aim at their legs with Spear Icicles".


    "Jump at the moment anyone of them is about to fall".


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this moment, master and beast entered a strange state of absolute concentration and synergy as Christensen gave orders while Leo executed them.


    The ice domain was even more powerful here as an oppressive icy atmosphere permeated the air, slowing these massive beasts even further.


    With the spear icicles, Leo decided their fates.


    3 spear icicle shots were all it took to incapacitate one of their legs, and once they fell, they ended up forming depressions like the ones that they just came out from. Christensen devised another strategy around the depressions.


    By using their weight against them, they formed depressions which soon trapped all of them in one big hole, allowing their prey to escape.


    Christensen dared not stay, it took all his brainpower to orchestrate this escape from death. Leo ran all the way till they were out of sight.


    Questions remained though, questions that Christensen sought answers for.


    Where was this ice field?


    Why were Armored Titan Rhinos in an ice field?

 Chapter 91 Mission Crazy

    After 3 harrowing days, Christensen found the answer to his questions.


    After his first day spent in this ice field, he came to a conclusion, this was a high-level area of the beast ne that he was not supposed toe to at his level.


    Beasts here were either Grade D beasts or higher or Grade E beasts that were freaks of nature just like the Armored Titan Rhinos.


    After the narrow escape from the attack of the Armored Titan Rhinos, that same day, Christensen and his beast almost died to the ambush of a Saber-toothed Tiger when they decided to rest to recover from their exhaustion.


    Leo was injured after the harrowing battle but the Saber-toothed Tiger was forced to retreat. Every other encounter like this almost led to their deaths.


    They were never the hunters, they were always the hunted.


    It got so bad that they could never kill meat to eat here, they either fed themselves by hunting for fish in the nearby cold sea where even some fish proved deadly or by returning to the forest in the ind to hunt.


    More than once, Christensen was motivated to give up but giving up meant giving up on the beast ne. Since this was the location where he first appeared oning to the beast ne, it was already set as his default bridge point.


    Unless he could fight his way out of this dead zone, he would not be able to locate a green forest in the beast ne where Legs rmended to get an ideal tracker dog, Christensen was frustrated.


    Despite his frustration, he persevered.


    The first step to getting out of this snow field was knowing its history and mystery. Christensen decided to start by looking for information.


    In an ice field, it was only natural to see Frost Wolves but for the first 2 days, Christensen and Leo searched till they were tired without seeing one.


    On the 3rd day, they didn''t see a Frost Wolf but they rescued a Tibetan Wolf. After a fierce battle with a Grade E Jaguar, this fellow was losing and was about to die when Christensen and Leo bumped into their battlefield.


    They rescued the Tibetan Wolf but Christensen was filled with even more questions, Tibetan Wolves live in a variety of ecosystems but they tend to prefer grasnds. Christensen didn''t know much but at least he knew this.


    So what was a Tibetan Wolf doing in this ice field?


    He was worried that he would never find an answer to his questions but to his surprise, despite being of different species, Leo and the Tibetan Wolf were able tomunicate, the Tibetan Wolf revealed the truth before its death.


    After giving it a befitting burial, Christensen weighed the truth. ''Are you f*cking kidding me right now? This is an artificially made ice field?''


    ''Is that even possible?''


    Christensen wanted so badly not to believe it but a hunch told him that the Tibetan Wolf was right. ording to the wolf, this ice field was previously arge territory that spanned mountains and grasnds close to the sea.


    It turned like this after a great battle between a powerful Grade C Frost Wolf and a Grade C Water Snake over a miraculous fruit.


    After a great battle that destroyed a lot of territories, discing countless beasts from their natural habitat, it ended here with the Frost Wolf''s victory. Just before the Water Snake died though, it misced the fruit, it was stolen.


    The catch that caused such a massive battle between 2 powerful Grade C beasts was stolen by a puny Grade D Shadow Hound.


    Having tracked the fruit for literally half the world already, this extremely intelligent Hound took advantage of the powerhouses and stole the fruits right under their nose. It consumed it while the Frost Wolf watched in disbelief.


    Angered, this Frost Wolf thrashed and caused even more damage, turning the battlefield into this enormous ice field.


    The Shadow Hound survived due to its shadow and stealth abilities but it was terribly injured by the Frost Wolf who was still searching for it till now.


    Christensen found it hard to believe but he felt that it was the truth. ''If this is the truth, then what should I do?''


    Christensen''s original conservative personality pushed him to taking the safer route out, but his recent explosive personality brought a crazy idea. ''For Grade C beasts to be so crazy about it, this fruit must be he good''.


    ''What if I make the Shadow Hound my 2nd contracted beast? Afterall, it is good at tracking¡­''


    Smack!


    Christensen barely finished before he wacked himself on the face. "What the f*ck are you thinking? You want to die?"


    Christensen took deep breaths to calm himself down then he thought again. ''But master always said, without pain, there''s no gain''.


    ''Damn!'' He cursed in his mind.


    No matter how much he tried to rationalize it, Christensen knew that it was purely out of greed that he now wanted this Shadow Hound.


    He no longer shied from it though, he embraced it. "Well, I ept it, I''m greedy so what? I''m still gonna get that f*cking Shadow Hound!"


    Whoosh!


    Caught up in his inner thoughts, Christensen was unaware when an enemy snuck behind him. As he felt the cold wind blowing beside his neck, Christensen felt goosebumps as adrenaline flooded his body.


    He was reluctant to die. ''I can''t die!'' He screamed in his mind.


    It took all the mettle that he gained from his training to react on time. Blood flowed as a deep cut was made through the back of his neck by an invisible enemy, he was lucky since if it went just an inch deeper, he was a dead man.


    Christensen gritted his teeth in pain before rolling forward as blood flowed, he looked but saw no one. ''An invisible enemy?''


    "Awoo!" Leo finally noticed the attack as he sprang up and howled loudly.


    It didn''t know where to attack though, the enemy was invisible.


    Whoosh!


    Christensen''s eyes widened as an attack came from directly his front this time. He activated hisbat master ability instinctively as he was able to barely parry the attack, he felt a pair of sharp ws digging into his flesh.


    ''A beast!'' Christensen''s eyes shone as his left hand moved with speed.


    Having lost his swords already when fighting the Rhinos, his only option was what Legs left for him. His left hand smoothly retrieved one of the G-96 Pistols as he rapidly aimed and pulled the trigger.


    Bam!


    Blood flowed and the enemy was finally exposed.


    A whimper sounded as briefly, the enemy left its invisible state.


    It was a grey Hound with such arrogant and confident eyes that seemed to look down on every other organism in the world except itself.


    Christensen''s eyes widened in shock. "Is that the Shadow Hound?!"


    Whoosh!


    Having failed in its quest to get food already, the Hound went invisible again before going on the run but its blood gave away its position this time.


    Christensen dared not tarry as he quickly drank a healing potion that his master made some time ago. "Leo, let''s go after it".


    The Hound gritted its teeth amid its pain and snorted. "You think you can catch me, I''ve eluded powerhouses that are a hundred times stronger than you".


    Just 6 minutester though, the Hound was left swallowing its words. Despite taking care of its blood already, the human and his wolf were still hot on his tail.


    Christensen had never been as concentrated as he was now as his exclusive special talent showed its merit now. The Hound''s arrogant snorts of disdain, it''s breathing, it''s smell, Christensen located it through all these.


    The Hound was shocked but it dared not stop, if it lingered too much in the surface, it would attract its greatest enemy, it had no choice but to go to its hideout.


    Christensen and Leo jumped after it into the cave.


    All light was cut off from inside the cave but before the Hound could make a move, Christensen smoothly lit up a fire in the cave.


    "No need, I''m a master chef, lighting fire is one of my specialties".


    "Woof!" The grey Hound barked as all its hair stood on end.


    The next moment, on seeing Christensen keeping his distance, he sighed and calmed down. "What do you want?"


    "Nothing, I just want to negotiate". Christensen replied with a bright smile.


    While he spoke, he secretly clicked a button that was hidden on his clothes.

 Chapter 92 Mind Game

    It was already 3 days since Legs came to the beast ne.


    After leaving Predator and Ak to their own devices, on top the Chefron, Legs traveled the beast ne looking for his lost pet.


    Through their telepathic connection and through kiddo''s outrageous speed, he estimated that he would find Lucky in at most 6 hours.


    To his shock though, this was his 3rd day still looking for the freaking fox.


    "That little devil". Legs cursed. "She''s deliberately avoiding me, I know it, I just wonder how she is able to do it".


    Every time that the telepathic connection indicated that they were really close, something happened and the distance ended up elongating again.


    "That fox really needs some disciplinary lessons when I find her".


    Legs was bing slightly frustrated by hisck of progress but as he vent his anger, a special signal alert that he bought some time ago rang.


    Beep! Beep!


    Legs looked at the red alert and was shocked. ''Christensen is in danger?''


    Without hesitation, Legs turned the Chefron around as he ordered it to go make sure that Predator and Ak where in one location.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    As soon as the rainbow bridge opened, Rex jumped through it. On returning back to the ind, he pressed the same button on his vest and waited.


    ¡­


    "You just want to negotiate?" The Shadow Hound scoffed. "Human, do you take me for a fool or what?"


    "First, I want to know how you were able to track me?"


    Christensen smiled. "Actually, I''m the one that should be asking the questions here since I cornered you but ok, I''ll answer you if you insist".


    "I''m a special one, that''s just the truth".


    The Shadow Hound''s eyes narrowed as they flicked left and right, trying to detect any danger ahead of time before it came close to harming him.


    On seeing no danger, the Hound closed his eyes before opening them again as they regained their arrogance. "Young human, if you love your life, escape while I''m still giving you the chance or¡­"


    Beep! Beep!


    "Ah¡­, I finally got my signal".


    The Shadow Hound''s eyes narrowed as it raised its guard.


    "Phew¡­" Christensen heaved a sigh of relief. "I almost suffocated ying such an intelligent persona, don''t worry, he''sing, he''ll speak to you".


    Without hesitation, Christensen activated the beast ne summoning active ability as the rainbow bridge appeared. Through the bridge, he saw Legs on the other side and waved at him.


    Legs stepped through the bridge the next moment. On seeing the Hound, he raised his guard before smiling. "You''ve found your target?"


    "Yes and no, the situation is peculiar". Christensen forced a smile.


    Christensen summarized the story and exined everything to Legs in a minute while the Hound watched, this angered it even more.


    "Petty humans, you dare ignore me?"


    Legs finally turned to face the Shadow Hound with a smile. "What an interesting backstory you have dog, I bet it''ll make a huge blockbuster".


    "I dare you to call me a dog again¡­"


    "It''s not good to act so arrogant when you''re cornered". Legs chuckled. "You must be really intelligent to fool such a powerful beast but that''s all, you''re just intelligent, you''re not really that powerful, are you?"


    "Before stealing the fruit, you made preparations that here would be your hideout in the case that things didn''t pan out as you nned".


    "After being injured by the Frost Wolf, your power got degraded to the Grade E realm and you were left extremely weak so like you nned, you hid here".


    "Normally, a wild Hound like you can survive a long time without food using darkness alone as sustenance but the fruit you ate is a powerful one".


    "To not die from its powerful effects, you need food but you are too weak to take on any of the beasts remaining in this ice field on a fair battle".


    "For the past 2 weeks, you''ve tried to no avail to kill to get food. Also, you can''t spend too long on the surface in fear of your smell being discovered by the Grade C Frost Wolf right?"


    "Despite your predicament, you remained hopeful and you saw my student, thinking he was easy food. He shocked you right?" Legsughed before patting Christensen. "You did a good job".


    "Well, I already exposed youpletely".


    "Now, you have only 2 choices before you".


    "First, you decide to fight us and die".


    "Second, you decide to live and see the effects of that miraculous fruit by bing my humble student''s contracted beast. It''s not very nor a death sentence, you''ll still retain all your memories, loyalty is the only price".


    "You dare¡­!"


    "Shhhh!" Legs ced his hands to his lips. "Before you bark your lungs out, if you don''t know, I know the effects of the Samsara Ice Fruit".


    "It''s the only miraculous fruit that grows in this region so I guessed".


    "With it, you are able to break your previous Shadow Hound bloodline limits, unlocking your potential to the Grade B realm".


    "If the Frost Wolf ate it, it would have a chance of leveling up to the Grade B realm so think of what you''re missing before you make your choice".


    This time, the Hound could no longer hide its astonishment as it looked at Legs in shock. "Who are you?"


    "Just a normal Shepherd looking for sheep to guide". Legs smiled amiably.


    "Make your decision now¡­"


    "NO!" The Shadow Hound protested. "I will never be a ve to a human".


    "I wound rather die and protect the dignity of my bloodline".


    "Is that dignity as dignified as the dignity of a Grade B Shadow Hound?" Legs raised his eyebrows.


    "Don''t you want to be remembered as the great Shadow Hound? Don''t you wanna be a legend?"


    "S-stop¡­"


    "Don''t you wannna be the super Hound?"


    The Shadow Hound closed its eyes. "Stop!"

    Passive ability has been triggered: Jungle Cruise


    ----


    "Now!"


    Having received secret signals from his master ahead of time, Christensen reacted at the same time that Legs moved as they rushed at the Shadow Hound who finally opened its eyes again with fury zing inside it.


    "Human! You dare trick me?!"


    "Yeah dog". Legsughed as he led the charge.


    "You shall regret this!" The Shadow Hound''s eyes turned arrogant again as its eyes turned grey, the shadow powers in the cave came under its control.


    Strange screams like those of souls trapped in hell reverberated the next moment as its enemies were affected with a mental attack.


    In their brief moment of disorientation, the clever Hound turned invisible again as it tried to escape but it was already toote.


    "Roar!" Predator announced his presence in a loud manner like always.


    With one of its legs, it smacked the Shadow Hound to the ground, the clever beast was not so clever anymore when strength was involved.


    "Ak, prevent its escape with the wolves".


    "Predator, tie it down".


    "Leo, freeze it''s legs".


    "Christensen, go do the deed".


    "Woof!" The Shadow Hound barked angrily to no avail.


    Under Legs''s meticulous orders, all the beasts and his students executed them perfectly as the Shadow Hound waspletely cornered in no time.


    Closing its eyes was a mistake that it should have never made.


    With it incapacitated, Christensen was finally free as he ced a hand on its head before activating the Beast Contract active ability.


    As the Shadow Hound felt a foreign soulsh into its weak soul and start overpowering it, its eyes turned red in craziness and anger.


    "Woof¡­, I shall never be a human''s ve!"


    "I''d rather die together with you and fight it out in hell!"


    The next moment, the Shadow Hound gathered all the shadow energy that was in this cave before converging it all in its mouth.


    Legs was rmed. "Stop him!"


    Ak acted fast but it was already toote.


    The Shadow Hound used all its energy to release onest desperate bark.


    "WOOF!!!"


    The barking sound was like thunder as it reverberated across the ice field before dying down. The next moment, the Shadow Hound calmed down as a joyful look clouded Christensen''s face.


    "I did it master, I got my 2nd contracted beast!"


    Legs did not pay attention to him though as he turned to look outside with a look of worry on his face. "We need to leave".


    ¡­


    Under the mountain of ice slumbered a mighty beast.


    As soon as the loud barking sound reverberated, its eyes snapped open as rage and revenge clouded them in an instant.


    "ROAR!" The Frost Wolf expressed its anger and burst out of its ice home.

 Chapter 93 The Frost Wolf Awakens

    "ROAR!!!"


    The roar reverberated across the ice field like pping thunder in a fierce thunderstorm, it sent ripples of shockwaves that echoed its owner''s rage through the ind as fear prated every beast''s heart.


    Inside the cave, the impact of the roar hit them like a sledgehammer.


    Christensen''s eyes widened in shock. "Is that¡­?"


    "Yes, that''s the Frost Wolf". Legs''s expression turned grim. "He no longer cared for his life and decided to attract the Frost Wolf itself".


    Legs looked down at the calmer Shadow Hound.


    Though it already became a contracted beast that waspletely loyal to Christensen, it still had that look of arrogance and confidence in its eyes.


    Legs sighed. "This guy and Lucky are birds of same feathers".


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The ice field literally started falling apart as the Frost Wolf woke up.


    All the icebergs and ice peaks started shattering apart as the power that held them crystallized started withdrawing. It was like Armageddon was upon this ice field as everything literally started turning over in a great disy of destruction.


    The beasts that were disced from their natural habitats and forced to settle here became the victims as death spread across in a wide scale.


    As the ice shattered, the cold water of the sea flooded into the territory of the ice field, sweeping all living organisms away as the Frost Wolf finally came out.


    This was mere fragments of the power of a Grade C beast.


    Once it came out, it''s eyes that seemed to prate time and space pierced through the veil of distance to where the Shadow Hound calmly stood.


    "F*ck, we need to leave!" Legs was rmed.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    As soon as the rainbow bridge opened, Legs grabbed and threw the Shadow Hound in first as all the other beasts started jumping in.


    Once Christensen jumped in, Legs finally motioned to jump in as the rainbow bridge started closing up but this action of his angered a certain beast even more.


    "AWOOO!!!"


    The Frost Wolf''s howl of anger set a tsunami raging through the ice field.


    The next moment, using the tsunami as itsunch fire, the massive Frost Wolf that was as big as 3 Aks put together activated a special ability that made its body be enveloped with the wind.


    The next moment, he turned into the wind and sprinted.


    Boom!


    The Frost Wolf broke the sound barrier as the space in the air literally became distorted due to his speed, he crossed dozens of kilometers in an instant as he appeared before the rainbow bridge the next moment.


    Just before the rainbow bridge could close, the Frost Wolf forcibly forced the dimensional barrier open and forced its head through.


    "Roar!!!"


    ¡­


    Thud! Thud!


    Christensen and Legs were the ones who arrived at the indst.


    As soon as they arrived though, they felt a fierce wind blow behind them as the hand of a giant Frost Wolf pushed through the rainbow bridge into Darvis. Legs''s eyes bulged in shock and almost exploded from their sockets.


    Before their eyes, the Frost Wolf started forcing its way through the now unstable rainbow bridge as ck lightning shed in the unstable dimensional barrier, the Frost Wolf would reach the other side in mere seconds.


    Christensen''s eyes widened in shock and despair. "What have I done?!"


    "Oh God, we''re going to die!"


    Smack!


    Legs wacked Christensen on the head.


    When Christensen narrated the story of the Shadow Hound to him, he already knew its personality. This guy was not someone to go down without a fight and was why he yed mind games to lower his defense as much as possible.


    Despite trying his best, he was unable to achieve full-proof victory.


    Legs already made a contingency n for this scenario and was why he sent only kiddo back to the ind while they fought the Shadow Hound.


    The next moment, he brought out a sack from his storage ring, a sack containing hundreds of lollipop chocte that he made ahead of time to maintain his tight grip over the Chefron. Now, they all came in handy.


    Smack!


    Legs smacked Christensen on the head again.


    "Take, feed them all to kiddo".


    "Chefrons can temporarily awaken and ess their true powers after eating enough chocte".


    "Yes master!" Christensen grabbed the chocte and went to work.


    This was exactly why he called his master. Even in the direst of situations, Legs seemed omnipotent and always seemed to have an answer.


    As soon as it smelled it, kiddo''s eyes poked out like antennas.


    While Christensen did this, Legs took his G-96 Pistols back. "I decided to stock up on Chaotic Mana Bullets, I never expected them to be useful now".


    Once he loaded the cartridge on the pair of automatic pistols, Legs turned fearlessly to face the thrashing monster as he aimed at the cracks in the dimensional barrier that were caused by the unstable bridge.


    Legs aimed and pulled the trigger.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    As the bullets rattled after colliding with the cracks, the chaotic mana bullets did their specialty as they spread even more chaos through the barrier.


    The Frost Wolf roared in pain as the unstable space and time tore at its skin, the barrier was just a few steps away from forming a ckhole which was more than capable of killing the wolf but Legs didn''t have the firepower to induce it.


    Legs was content with this though as it slowed the wolf down, it bought just enough time for kiddo to eat more than enough chocte.


    "ROAR!!!" Kiddo roared as boundless energy flowed through its body.


    Its eyes shone like the headlights of a million-dor studio.


    After spending 45 seconds, the Frost Wolf finally tore the bridge open as it stepped foot into the ind in Darvis.


    BOOM!


    The impact of the explosion that followed rocked the ind but Legs was a step ahead as he tapped the Chefron after everyone mounted it.


    Apart from its energy, kiddo''s size increased after eating so many choctes. As soon as Legs tapped it, kiddo roared in humannguage.


    "The power of energy!"


    "I am the f*cking wind chocte!"


    Whoosh!


    Chefron disappeared from the ind with his upants.


    The Frost Wolf''s eyes burned with unquenchable hatred and rage as the Chefron disappeared, the next moment, it burned even more of its potent mana to activate another special ability as it disappeared in pursuit.


    Across kilometers, 2 sonic booms reverberated as 2 beasts sprinted across the surface of the Blue Sea.


    Though he was barely able to see due to the speed, Legs still noticed the Frost Wolf right on their heels. For the first time, he panicked as he rapidly thought before making a decision.


    "Kiddo, escape to Palm Ind".


    Whoosh!


    Unlike the previous time, it took only 5 minutes of outrageous speed before the Chefron appeared in Palm Ind, stunning the ind guards.


    Right behind the tail of the Chefron was the massive Frost Wolf.


    The Frost Wolf descended on Palm Ind like a natural disaster sent from heaven that was about to wipe all traces of this ind from the.


    "AWOOO!!!" It howled loudly to announce its presence.

 Chapter 94 Palm Island Disaster

    "AWOO!!!"


    The Frost Wolf''s howl announced its presence and the iing disaster.


    Like most castles with walls, Palm Ind had a special superhuman warrior unit that was delegated to protecting the walls that surrounded the ind.


    As soon as they saw the Giant Frost Wolf descend on the ind, rms were rang all across the wall. The Chefron instantly became insignificant since against the Frost Wolf''s menacing aura, the Chefron now seemed friendly.


    Having fought against other beasts that attacked from the sea before, the wall guard had a specific set of rules to follow on emergencies like this.


    On emergencies like this, squads were supposed to attack the said beast even without orders from the Commander to prevent casualties inside the ind.


    "Aim at the Wolf!"


    "Shoot!"


    Whoosh!


    After spending its whole life in the beast ne, despite meeting humans already before now, the massive Frost Wolf had never been to their cities. It was distracted from its main target for a few moments by the city wall.


    This act of looking at the walls to the warriors that mounted it was an act of aggression and was why they took the initiative to attack first.


    Before they even released the attacks, the enormous Frost Wolf felt their animosity first as it''s outlook of these people changed instantly.


    "Roar!" It roared as huge specialized arrows and spears that were created to kill beasts of such huge sizes were unleashed by the warriors who manned the wall.


    The Frost Wolf stared sternly at the flying arrows before making his move.


    The Frost Wolf jumped up before breathing frost into the air.


    The next moment, all the arrows that were sent towards him froze in the air. As soon as they froze, they came under its control and under its will orders, the frozen arrows changed direction and flew back to where they came from.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The defense of the wall stood no chance, the frozen arrows and spears collided against the wall with enormous force, mming holes into it as warriors died inrge numbers.


    While all these happened, the swift Chefron already slipped behind the defensive line of the ind straight into the ind to hide.


    Not seeing its targets, the Frost Wolf howled onest time before charging at the walls of the ind with an intent to ram into it and tear it apart.


    "It''sing for the wall!"


    "All warriors, aim at that wolf and kill it!"


    Whoosh!


    Another salvo of attacks was released but they achieved nothing as the Frost Wolf created an ice shield around its body. The arrows and spears collided against it before bouncing back like they had no force.


    With enough momentum, the massive wolf finally rammed into the wall.


    The wall of Palm Ind that stood for decades had a massive hole punctured through it as the unstoppable Frost Wolf charged into the ind.


    "Contact the pce, inform them about the danger!"


    Just a few seconds after the Commander of the wall guard gave the order, the news got to the royal pce as the whole ind entered a state of alert.


    Though the Frost Wolf revealed just a small part of its strength, they already estimated its strength and knew the threat that it posed to the ind.


    Queen Bianca and Hestia ordered an evacuation of all citizens to the underground bunkers as she mobilized her full army to bring down this beast.


    A single beast sent this ind into such a great panic.


    Amid all themotion, the Frost Wolf ignored everything and charged towards one direction, the center of the ind where the pce was located.


    Legs was dubious enough to order the Chefron to escape there. Against this Frost Wolf, he knew that his only hopes of survival was relying on the ind. The mistake was already made, what matters was their survival now.


    Amid it''s loud roars and howls, the angry Frost Wolf finally arrived at the pce to meet an army of thousands of superhuman warriors who were prepared for it and ready to do their best to kill it.


    With the defense of the pce in mind, the army formed a wedge-shaped formation with 5 faces. Each of the 5 faces had a specific battle unit corresponding to Pugilists, Elementalists, Summoners, support warriors, and subss warriors.


    Both Queens led from the front of the formation as they watched the beast attentively while getting ready to respond to any of its movements.


    The Frost Wolf did not pay attention to them though, it instead searched for its targets. Having abandoned the Chefron with Christensen already, alone with the Shadow Hound, Legs infiltrated the pce to hide.


    He was not just hiding, he had a n.


    Through Christensen''s understanding of the pce, he already knew where the armory was located. On getting there, he searched for seconds until he finally found what he was looking for, the Cloak of Nothingness.


    Just like the Chefron, this was a treasured artifact of the Palm Royal family.


    As soon as he learned of the cloak''s existence from Christensen during their escape back to the Palm Ind, Legs formed a n.


    As soon as Legs saw the cloak in the armory, he heaved a sigh of relief as he used it to cover the Hound. Instantly after he did this, it was like the Shadow Hound was erased from existence.


    "You, stay put right there!" Legs ordered and waited for the aftermath of his actions.


    He did not have to wait long.


    "ROAR!!!" The Frost Wolf roared in disbelief and anger.


    It just lost the smell through which it tracked the Shadow Hound.


    This beast could not even think, the fact that the Shadow Hound came and escaped its senses here directly implicated everyone on this ind.


    The Frost Wolf was angry, it no longer held back as it released its full aura.


    Boom!


    A mighty cold storm like a tsunami swept across the ind.


    When everything died down, Palm Ind already turned into an icy in as frost filled most parts of the ind. In its domain, having lost all rationality due to anger, the Frost Wolf finally started another phase of destruction.


    Its movements were like those of a giant stepping on dwarf territory.


    It''s immense powers over frost wreaked utter devastation to the ind.


    Once the Frost Wolf became serious, Palm Ind''s real disaster came.


    The army that the 2 Queens organized stood no chance before a Grade C beast. They were swept away alongside the frost and destruction.


    The Pugilists tried to charge closer but they were only frozen to death. All the Elemental attacks of the Elementalists were neutralized by the freezing ice of the Frost Wolf, it stomped the contracted beasts of the summoners to death.


    Blood flowed like a river as the giant Frost Wolf released hundreds of icicles that fell from the sky, descending and impaling soldiers to their deaths.


    Icy storms swept across the ind, iming a lot of lives every second as this massive beast from the beast ne wreaked utter destruction in Palm Ind.


    In just 4 minutes, the whole ind seemed to be a dead icy field already. From on top a vantage point, the 2 Queens watched in horror as this beast destroyed the works of their ancestors.


    ? "W-we need to call the elders¡­" Hestia stammered.


    "But they''re in hibernation".


    "We need to call them!" Hestia yelled at her sister then together as she led the way, they sprinted underground to a hidden chamber in the royal pce.


    While they left, miraculous changes happened to Christensen amid all the chaos and destruction. After contracting the Shadow Hound, though it took some time at first, the effects of the Organic Connection finally started taking effect.


    Despite being injured, the Shadow Hound was a bonafide Grade D beast, it became the catalyst for Christensen and Leo to break their limits.


    In this moment of disaster, both of them broke their limits and became Grade D powerhouses. Christensen could not relish in the moment due to his achievement though as he looked at the destruction across his home.


    "What have I done?"


    Just a minuteter, a hole was torn open from underneath the pce and from it came 6 elders who were all cloth in dust-filled grey attire.


    The 6 elders that formed the Council of Elders of the Palm Ind royal family.


    This was Palm Ind''sst defense and surprisingly, one of the Elders was already a Grade C- powerhouse as hemanded his contracted beast to emerge.


    Tension for an epic sh filled the air.

 Chapter 95 Grade C- Elder Vs The Berserk Frost Wolf

    As soon as the 6 elders appeared, the attention of the rampaging Frost Wolf was attracted. It recognized that it just met a worthy opponent.


    "ROAR!!!" The Frost Wolf roared angrily.


    "This Frost Wolf is strong and for some reason, it already went berserk". The elder that stood at the middle of the 6 spoke calmly.


    "I can take it on but I need all the help that I can get to kill it".


    The other elders voiced their support. "Do what you can, we''ll do our best to support you and bring an end to this vile beast".


    The elder nodded calmly even as the gigantic Frost Wolf kept on howling angrily as he spread his hands through the air, the next moment a familiar rainbow bridge opened through which 4 equally enormous beasts came out.


    A massive Python, a 4-Horned Bull, a Mana Sheep, and a massive Desert Eagle, these were the 4 contracted beasts of this expert Summoner.


    All 4 beasts were at the Grade C- realm.


    On seeing the 4 Grade C- beasts, the Frost Wolf roared even more angrily as it showed no fear. Even among the different grades, there was a great difference in strength, the Frost Wolf was individually stronger than all 4 beasts.


    "Awoo!"


    It howled and charged towards the old Summoner.


    The old Summoner calmly called at its eagle before jumping up. Like an acrobat, hended on top the Desert Eagle as it flew into the skies.


    "Quadruple beast formation: Sleeping Thunder!" The old man muttered.


    The next moment, all the beasts responded to his words.


    The Python stretched its enormous body, forming a shield that protected the Mana Sheep who went to hide behind it and a support for the 4-Horned Bull who was already charging towards the Frost Wolf valiantly.


    Green fire revolved around the 4-Horned Bull as it charged.


    While in the skies, the Desert Eagle gathered wind energy through its beak before releasing a massive wind-empowered ball of mana from the skies.


    The wind-empowered ball of mana arrived almost at the same time that the 4-Horned Bull did. It bent its head and with its horns rammed against the Wolf.


    Boom!


    The impact was mighty as the Bull easily came out on top. In terms of pure physical strength, despite being the weaker beast, the Bull had more strength.


    It was not the real Frost Wolf that it collided with though, that was an ice doppelganger as the real Frost Wolf charged from its rear the next moment.


    The Frost Wolf roared and aimed to bite at its throat.


    From the back, the enormous Python reacted almost instantaneously as itshed out like a spring. It collided with the Frost Wolf, knocking it off-course as it also released a poisonous purple mist.


    The Frost Wolf inhaled the poisonous mist and roared in pain as blood started flowing from its nose, the pain only angered it more.


    "ROAR!!!"


    The skies briefly turnedpletely clouded then from the skies came down falling giant icicles that could level entire buildings.


    The Desert Eagle reacted on time as it sent wind shes to destroy most of them but the others made it to the ground beforending and wreaking even more destruction, the 4-Horned Bull and the Python did not escape though.


    They made use of their best defensive techniques to save their lives despite the exorbitant mana expenditures, they were so unbridled in this battle because they had a support teammate.


    The Mana Sheep closed its eyes as yellow light erupted with it as the center. These yellow lights entered its teammates bodies, replenishing their mana.


    They were energized as they dived in for another crazy attack.


    The Frost Wolf roared again before diving at them without backing down. The angrier it grew, the more powerful it became as the atmosphere turned colder by the second. For 6 minutes straight, the battle dragged on.


    During these 6 minutes, the old elder already observed all that he wanted to observe. "You can now join the battle to assist".


    "Avoid meleebat, focus on ranged attacks".


    "Also, pay attention to my signals to dodge its deadly attacks".


    Once the other elders got the signal, they no longer held back as together they all charged into the intense battlefield. Apart from the 2 veteran Pugilists in the group, every other elder spammed ranged attacks on the Frost Wolf.


    The more injuries that it sustained, the angrier and stronger it became.


    Despite trying their best, they could not kill it immediately and this was their mistake. The Frost Wolf was just too ruthless and powerful to be left alone.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Having umted enough frost and cold, the Frost Wolf triggered a special ability as lumps of ice exploded like trigger bombs.


    Apart from hundreds of the spectators who died to the attack, 2 of the elders were also caught in it as one of them died instantly while the other lost her 2 limbs.


    The shock of this sudden counterattack was so much that they barely managed to react as the Frost Wolf went for the 3rd elder kill.


    This sudden counterattack served as a wake-up call to them all.


    "Hestia, rally the warriors and help". One of the elders called for help.


    The 2 Queens dared not hesitate as despite the fact that they were weak, they gathered their courage and threw themselves at the beast to kill it.


    At a far-away distance, Christensen watched as he clenched his fist.


    "I can''t keep running away from mistakes that I made".


    "I caused this, I''m gonna help fix it".


    "Leo, let''s go".


    Christensen mounted the new and more powerful Leo before charging towards the battlefield with all the fury that he could muster.


    Hidden inside the pce, Legs received a virtual interface prompt.


    -----


    [You have received a Grade C Mission: Kill the Berserk Frost Wolf!]


    [Mission Details: An enormous Frost Wolf is wreaking havoc across the Palm Ind and you happen to be around. Help in the attack to kill the Berserk Frost Wolf, deplete at least 5% of its health points with your attacks.]


    [Mission Rewards: 300,000- 700,000 Experience Points!]


    ----


    As soon as Legs saw the rewards, he did not hesitate.


    Shing!


    He unsheathed his sword and grabbed his pistols before rushing towards the battlefield that was not far from his position.


    The blood of practically all the warriors started burning hot like a furnace.

 Chapter 96 Large-Scale Battle Royale To Kill The Frost Wolf

    By now, no one paid attention to what attracted the beast any longer.


    With the death of hundreds of superhuman warriors and 2 elders of the Council of Elders already, it became clear to all the superhuman warriors of the Palm Ind that their home was in danger of destruction.


    If the Frost Wolf was left unbridled, it would annihte Palm Ind.


    This realization alone sent their bloods burning hot.


    "For my home!"


    "For my family!"


    "For my daughter!"


    They all had different reasons that motivated them to give their all to killing the Frost Wolf, but what mattered was that they had amon enemy.


    While roaring loudly, under the leadership of the 2 Queens, thousands of warriors of the Palm Ind charged towards the Berserk Frost Wolf.


    They no longer cared about their lives, all they cared for was killing the wolf.


    The Pugilists took the lead as they took the battle straight to the Frost Wolf. Their Pugilist energy erupted, diffusing the air like the chemical reaction of 2 acids as they shed against the Frost Wolf with their all.


    They were weak, but at times, with numbers came strength.


    When hundreds of Pugilist-burst attacks utilizing Pugilist energy were unleashed towards a single target, the target would feel the force of impact even if it was far stronger than everyone of the individual Pugilists.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The hotblooded Pugilists muddled the battlefield, bringing chaos.


    The sound of different monsters reverberated all across the ind as the summoners summoned their beasts and sent them all to their deaths.


    Wolves, Foxes, wild dogs, bulls, and even some rare beasts made their appearance on this battlefield as they all charged towards the Frost Wolf.


    While this happened, the Elementalists kept a safe distance at the back of the chaotic battlefield before doing what they were best at, AOE damage.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    With Hestia and Bianca leading the barrage, Elementalists wreaked havoc.


    Fire elementalists released fiery disasters from the skies as they bombarded the Frost Wolf, while others unleashedrva from underneath the ind.


    Ice elementalists bombarded the Frost Wolf with enormous spiky ice balls and ice icicles as the terrain of the battlefield was terraformedpletely.


    The earth elementalists did even more terraforming to the terrain. Under their unbridled control, apart from throwing boulders, the earth seemed to grow a consciousness of its own as they attacked the Frost Wolf in different ways.


    As for the wind elementalists, they attacked from the skies.


    All their attacks were coordinated to support the Grade C- elder''s attacks since his beasts were the ones still keeping the powerful Frost Wolf in check.


    The Frost Wolf''s injuries rapidly increased as it sustained new injuries but it did not die yet, in its snowy world, its vitality was insanely out of this world.


    Explosions rocked the battlefield as the battle intensity increased to a new high. While this happened, a prodigal prince charged into the heart of the battle.


    On top a much more massive Leo, with his new sword, Christensen charged straight at the enormous Frost Wolf. As a Grade D Summoner now, just like the elders, he was qualified to be at the heart of the action.


    "Leo, Ice Domain".


    "Spear Icicles!"


    "Giant Spear Icicles!"


    Leo obeyed all the orders as he spammed attacks at this enemy that was of the same species as him, he dared not hold back.


    Shortly after Christensen entered the battlefield, a familiar silhouette appeared just beside him as it also charged into the battlefield.


    "Roar!" Predator announced its presence powerfully.


    "Someone needs to protect you from dying".


    Legs said as he rode Predator into the heart of the action. As a masochist who loved challenging beasts that were stronger than him, Predator was not intimidated but was rather thrilled on fighting the Frost Wolf again.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration


    ----


    As soon as Legs activated this trump card of his, he fused with Predator as he became more unbridled, shing directly with the Frost Wolf.


    With Predator''s incredible vitality, he could survive a few blows.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Legs started his quest to deal as much damage as possible to this beast.


    Unlike the others, he was not just fighting brainlessly though, he had a concrete n to take this powerful beast down.


    While fighting, Legs drew close to the Grade C- Elder.


    "Fire is the only way to bring the Frost Wolf down!" He yelled.


    "Anything to increase the temperature of the ind".


    ? "A Frost Wolf of its level can literally keep on getting stronger infinitely if the temperature keeps on dropping. At a point, we won''t stand a chance despite our numbers advantage, we''ll all die".


    "Do anything to increase the temperature of the ind".


    The elder was not obligated to listen to the rambling of a stranger but for some reason, its gut feeling told him that this kid was probably right.


    It wasmon knowledge that Frost Wolves hated fire, but since it was not everyday that humans encountered Grade C Frost Wolves, knowledge that they grow infinitely stronger with cold and grow weaker with heat was not well known.


    Once the elder got a strategy, he ordered his beasts to assist the fire elementalists. With Hestia leading them, the fire Elementalists became the most important warriors in this battle as they spammed AOE fire skills.


    For like a minute, it worked as the Frost Wolf''s rampage intensity lessened.


    But this was only the calm before the storm. Unfortunately for them, the Frost Wolf already turned Berserk and that single term meant a lot.


    "AWOO!!!" The Frost Wolf roared again as its body turned icy blue.


    On seeing this, Legs''s eyes widened. "Oh f*ck no¡­!"


    BOOM!


    The Frost Wolf released another frost wave the next moment as with it as the center, light blue ice permeated into the surroundings, freezing the already frozen ind and turning the temperature even colder.


    Instantly after this, the Frost Wolf grew bigger as blue icy spikes grew out of its body like a hedgehog, then its eyes turned a glowing red the next moment.


    Whoosh!


    Before the Summoner elder could react, the massive Frost Wolf already charged as it crashed into the unsuspecting 4-Horned Bull, stabbing its dozens of blue icy spikes straight through the skin of the bull.


    Its speed was too fast this time, the Bull was unable to react to the attack as blood poured like a fountain from the area of impact.


    Crack! Crunch!


    2 sickening sounds reverberated loudly on the battlefield.


    The first sound was that of the Bull''s horns shattering and its skull fracturing, while the 2nd sound was that of the wolf biting into the Bull''s skull.


    With one bite, the Frost Wolf tore the Bull''s head into 2 equal parts.


    Despite the current cold, every single warrior on this battlefield felt a chill crawl down their spines on seeing this scene.


    Boom!


    The Frost Wolf did not rest as it changed course before charging towards the Python. This time, this fellow was rmed as it went all out in defending itself.


    In so doing, it was tricked into forgetting the main duty that its master entrusted it with, it exposed the Mana Sheep that was behind it.


    Crunch!


    The Summoner Elder tried but he was not fast enough, the nonbatant Mana Sheep stood no chance against the Frost Wolf as it was ripped apart.


    This calm Mana Sheep had tears flowing from its eyes as the sharp ws and teeth of the enormous Frost Wolf tore it apart inside out.


    In mere seconds, 2 strong allies on this battlefield died.


    With those 2 dying, the tight leash on the wolf finally loosed a bit, allowing it to wreak even more havoc. A massacre started on this battlefield since only the Python and Desert Eagle were unable to keep it in check.


    The Frost Wolf could no longer be stopped as it ughtered its enemies. Despite its already many injuries, it dominated by killing even more enemies.


    The warriors of Palm Ind despaired. "We''re doomed!"


    "This wolf can''t be killed!"


    A few minutester after a few more hundred deaths, the warriors lost all hope, the elders were out of options on how to stop the beast.


    "Will Palm Ind fall?"


    ¡­


    As the oue already seemed set in stone, the Clown Society made preparations to salvage the situation and escape the ind while they still could.


    The Blue Master who was the residing leader of the notorious organization gathered his followers as they got prepared to desert the ind.


    But midway to their escape, the Blue Master received a red ping through hismunication device, a ping that came directly from the Clown.


    This psychopath''s eyes literally widened in fanatism and craziness.


    Only a sentence order was sent. "Perform the descent ritual".


    That was all that the Blue Master needed.


    He gathered all his followers at the library that was set aside for them before killing all of them as sacrifice. He dug a hole to let the blood flow in before drawing a circr ultic formation around their corpses.


    He closed his eyes before chanting an ancient incantation.


    When he was done, his eyes shone with fanatism. "For the Clown!"


    The Blue Master slit his throat as his blood also flowed into the hole.


    5 secondster after this ritual¡­


    Bzzz!


    A space portal opened in mid-air through which a leg descended.


    As soon as the leg passed, another powerful energy swept across Palm Ind that attracted the attention of all the warriors that were present.


    They were shocked into despair. "Another Grade C aura?!"

 Chapter 97 Ultimate Showdown; The Psychotic Clown Vs The Berserk Frost Wolf

    "Another Grade C aura?!" The warriors despaired.


    Even the Grade C- elder despaired as he turned to look at the new enemy.


    The powerful energy that erupted was an extremely hot and menacing one that seemed toe directly out of hell, hell signified nothing good.


    Of all the warriors on this chaotic battlefield though, only one of them was able to recognize this hot energy and the iconic dramatic entrance.


    "A descent ritual!" Legs was rmed as he instantly made his move.


    Still in his integrated state with Predator, Legs abandoned the current battle before moving as fast as he could to take Christensen out of the spotlight. He was fast enough to disappear before the intruder fully appeared.


    The neer who arrived was clothed in a ck robe and a ck hood.


    Only 2 fiery eyes could be seen beyond the covering of the ck hood.


    The hooded mystery man examined himself for a few seconds before looking down at his subordinates, he grinned. "A worthy sacrifice".


    The next moment, he ignored the corpses before focusing on the main character of this battlefield, the Frost Wolf who at this moment was still wreaking havoc and was intent on destroying Palm Ind.


    As he stared at the enormous and incredibly powerful Frost Wolf that was singlehandedly destroying this ind, he shook in excitement. Despite his mystical ck hood that hid his face, anyone could tell he was licking his lips in excitement.


    "Hahaha". He eruptedughing maniacally.


    "Hehehehe".


    "Hohoho". He did not give a damn about people''s opinion as heughed his heart out, he was so excited that he pulled his ck hood off.


    The face was not exposed before the onlookers though, what was exposed was a bald head but a face that was covered by a mask, a clown mask.


    This was the notorious Clown, the leader of the Clown Society.


    The warriors of Palm Ind felt a chill crawling down their spines again. After so many chilly feelings, they were just seconds away from freezing at the moment.


    Clownughed as he stared intently at the rampaging Frost Wolf.


    "What a surprise, hahaha".


    "The ultimate test subject!"


    "My baby¡­!"


    "My precious¡­!"


    Boom!


    The next moment, he disappeared from where he previously was.


    Less than a secondter, Clown arrived directly above the rampaging Frost Wolf with his Elementalist staff on his hand and his energy sting on all cylinders.


    He was levitating in the skies with fire burning underneath his boots, the same technique that the Red Master of the Clown Society used to levitate.


    "My precious¡­,e to meet daddy".


    Clown waved his Elementalist staff, making the first move.


    The Grade C- elder''s eyes constricted in shock as he realized what was about to happen, he rapidly retreated as he yelled at his warriors to retreat.


    "Retreat!"


    No warrior dared disobey, they all scrambled to retreat.


    "ROAR!!!" The Frost Wolf roared defiantly at the new powerful enemy.


    "My cute precious!" Clownughed maniacally.


    As he moved his staff, the fire element came under his control, 3 enormous fireballs appeared above him as he dropped them the next moment.


    The fireballs dropped with such speed and momentum that the temperature of the surrounding rose rapidly, the Frost Wolf roared angrily then it retaliated.


    BOOM!


    The impact of fireballs and iceballs colliding was like thunder.


    Amid the flying debris though, Clown disappeared again.


    Bzzz!


    He reappeared just beside the massive Frost Wolf.


    "Clown Specialty: Fiery Spear!"


    With a cold look of craziness and excitement now in his eyes, before the Frost Wolf could react, Clown stabbed the fiery spear that appeared before him straight into the exposed back of the enormous Frost Wolf.


    "Clown Specialty: Atomic Explosion!"


    Boom!


    An explosion rocked from directly within the Frost Wolf as for the first time since it stepped foot into Palm Ind, it copsed on its knees.


    Clown was not done as he touched the monster''s head.


    "Clown Specialty: Temperature Regtion".


    Clownughed and roared maniacally. "Hot and Sexy!"


    The next moment, the Frost Wolf roared in pain as its internal body regtion went haywire. It grew stronger in a cold environment, but now, its temperature was increasing in a way that it hated.


    As its temperature increased, its strength decreased.


    "ROAR!!!" The Frost Wolf was angered, it was unwilling to give up.


    With bloodshot eyes filled with rage, it went all out again. The Frost Wolf triggered all the ice gathered in the ind to create an icy explosion.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Over a thousand warriors were caught by this attack and all died but Clown stepped out of it all as he hovered high in the skies and watched.


    "Cute boy, you''re the best test subject". This psychopathughed maniacally.


    The next moment, he descended back to the ground to face the beast.


    The Frost Wolf did not back down from the challenge as it flexed its strength. Fire descended from the skies while frost gathered on the ground.


    "Clown Specialty: Hell''s Destruction!" Clown grinned crazily.


    "ROAR!!!" The Frost Wolf responded.


    The sky seemed to be shrouded by a descending fieryet that was bigger than the world while the ind seemed to turn into an ice dragon.


    The ice dragon collided against the fieryet in a powerful disy of strength, then the next moment, Palm Ind itself seemed to fracture.


    BOOM!!!


    The sound of the impact was like exploding dominoes.


    Clown was flung back high into the sky while the Frost Wolf was ttened to the ind in a pool of its own blood.


    "Hahahaha!"


    "Hehehe!"


    Clown wiped off the blood from his lips and dived back down.


    Whoosh!


    Enormous spear icicles were shot towards him mid-flight but he dodged all of them as he sent a powerful rain of fire down at the Frost Wolf.


    Despite its severe injuries, the proud Frost Wolf made itsst stand.


    It stood its ground, flexed its powers and spammed spear icicles at its enemy.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    For 5 minutes straight, the Frost Wolf made itsst stand as it shed with Clown in an epic showdown that left Palm Ind suffering.


    The terrain was utterly destroyed by the power of collisions.


    Despite the beast''s powerful disy though, after 5 minutes of intense battle, it finally exhausted its reserves as it copsed on the floor.


    Clown wiped blood off his lips and descended beside the beast.


    He rubbed its white fur as he shook in excitement. "My precious¡­!"


    The Frost Wolf that caused so many warriors problems was subdued, not killed but subdued by a single superhuman warrior.


    A chilly wind blew through Palm Ind.

 Chapter 98 Aftermath Of The Disaster

    From another ind far away, Legs looked at the burning ind.


    Christensen stood beside him alongside their beasts as silently, they watched the aftermath of the disaster and what would be of the ind.


    Instantly after the new Grade C powerhouse arrived, Legs reacted in a frenzied manner that Christensen had never seen before.


    Legs grabbed him and escaped out of the ind with great haste.


    With kiddo''s speed, Legs was barely able to escape.


    -----


    You have been swept by an energy check


    ----


    Instantly after Clown arrived fully on Palm Ind, he swept arge part of the ind with his energy check which also caught Legs in its range.


    As soon as Legs received the notification, he went to work.


    Perhaps, others would ignore it since he was escaping the ind but Legs dared not knowing the full capabilities of a Grade C powerhouse''s energy check.


    And after today, he confirmed that Clown was not a Grade C- Elementalist but was already a bonafide Grade C Fire Elementalist.


    Legs took precautions to avoid being tracked, this was when the importance of the Shadow Hound was highlighted.


    Christensen''s exclusive talent made him a monster at tracking, but it didn''t do much in improving his ability to hide his tracks and aura.


    The Shadow Hound came in y here, this Hound was the perfect tracker and anti-tracker. Under Legs''s orders, it wiped out all their traces.


    It was only after this was done that Legs continued escaping.


    Kiddo swam at full speed till they arrived at one of the nearest inds where any pursuit force would find it hard to find them.


    Once they arrived, master and student stood at the edge of the ind and watched Palm Ind with their hearts on their throats anticipating the oue.


    Boom!


    The Frost Wolf and Clown''s battle was legendary.


    Even with the great distance between them, they could feel the sh of energies from so far away as visually, it looked like hundreds ofets were descending on the ind to wipe it from existence.


    For minutes, they watched as the battle raged on while Palm Ind suffered.


    Christensen still felt guilty as tears poured down his eyes.


    After onest epic sh, the ind finally quietened down but it was in mes. At first, it turned into an ice field due to the Frost Wolf''s frost powers but after Clown''s personal touch, Palm Ind turned into a sea of mes.


    Legs patted his student tofort him. "At least you survived¡­"


    ¡­


    Palm Ind was a total wreak after the battle.


    Thousands of corpsesid all across the ind both from the warriors that fought against the giant Frost Wolf and the civilians who were caught in the crossfire, it was a sad sight characteristic of any major war.


    Palm Ind itself already terraformed into a different monster. Some parts of the ind was still filled with the Frost Wolf''s blue ice while the other parts was a burning hell courtesy of Clown''s attacks.


    Larva flowed on the ind courtesy of the warrior''s attacks.


    The battle finally ended but Palm Ind was a mere shadow of its former self, it was a scene of utter destruction on the.


    While the survivors tried to regain themselves and stand up, Clown waved his staff as a fiery cage was created through which he trapped the Frost Wolf.


    Instantly after trapping the Frost Wolf, Clown turned to face the 2 Queens who became members of his organization a few months ago.


    "I detected a familiar presence on the ind but I can''t see him anymore".


    As soon as he spoke, Queen Hestia understood. "I think he already escaped the ind with my brother".


    Clown chuckled as his fiery eyes beneath the Clown mask gleamed. "He really underestimates me to think that is all my energy check can do".


    Whoosh!


    The next moment, Clown levitated into the skies and followed the remnant traces of the targets that his energy check pinpointed minutes ago.


    On getting to the edge of the ind though, he paused as he lost all traces of his targets, he was surprised. "The trace disappeared?"


    He threw his head back then heughed. "Hahaha".


    "Hehehe, I underestimated you".


    "Nice one". He licked his lips.


    Clown no longer paid attention to it, the next moment, he returned to the battlefield before picking up his war trophy, the caged Frost Wolf.


    He turned to face Queen Hestia. "Where is my Red Master?"


    Queen Hestia and Bianca fell on their knees as tears flowed from their eyes. "Our master left with an organized team to go assassinate the target yesterday".


    "And the target showed up today". Clownpleted the sentence then heughed. "Hahaha¡­, nice one kid, nice one".


    Without paying attention to the Queens any longer, Clown levitated before the Grade C- elder who was still riding on top his Desert Eagle.


    "I saved your ind, now you serve me".


    "I hate order, from today, the order of Kings and Queens stop in Palm Ind".


    "Serve me and let chaos rule".


    The elder gritted his teeth. "But¡­"


    "Refuse and die".


    He clenched his fists as he looked at the destruction all over the battlefield, then the next moment he sighed. "My loyalty is now for the Clown".


    "Hahaha". Clownughed maniacally.


    "Good decision, turn this ind into a hub of psychopaths".


    The next moment, he waved his staff, creating a jump node in the air that was formed from squeezing the barrier between the Elementalist ne and Darvis. Before he jumped through though, a voice stopped him.


    "Great Clown¡­" Hestia mustered all her courage to speak. "Please take me and my sister in as your student".


    Clown turned to look at the 2 beautifuldies as he licked his lips. "Good decision, wee to the chaotic side my psychopaths".


    He waved his staff, enveloping both warriors in a blue aura as he took them with him into the jump node, they disappeared from the ind the next moment.


    The Grade C- elder sighed as Clown left. "Begin recovery measures".


    "Search and dig for any survivors".


    "Gather the dead and prepare for a mass burial".


    "Let''s hope that no disasteres again".

 Chapter 99 The Search For Lucky

    3 dayster after the battle on Palm Ind.


    -----


    You have triggered passive ability: Marksman


    ----


    As soon as the passive ability triggered, Legs felt his confidence increasing as his aim with the bow and arrow became even clearer to him.


    He took Christensen''s make-shift bow and arrow and went out to hunt.


    As soon as he was ready, he released the arrow.


    Whoosh!


    The Wild Boar grunted in pain as soon as the arrow lodged deep into it''s thick hide. Adrenaline flooded the beast''s body as it tried to escape but Legs was not having it as he put in another arrow and shot.


    He did this 2 times, shooting 3 arrows in just a few seconds.


    The Wild Boar was only able to escape for a few meters before copsing on the ind in a pool of its own blood.


    Legs came down from his hideout to get his game.


    After picking the Wild Boar, he returned to their hideout where he put the meat on the burning fire to roast it into something delicious and eatable.


    A few dozen minutester, the meat was ready.


    Legs dug in without hesitation as he invited his student. "Hey, Chris, dig in before it gets cold".


    "Oh, ok". Christensen replied absentmindedly.


    As Christensen bit down on the meat and started eating, a lot of thoughts went through his mind. ''I''m so useless, why am I still so down despite 3 days having passed already?''


    The guilt of the disaster on Palm Ind still had not left him yet, it haunted him and he could not bring himself to simply forget it.


    Due to his actions, lots of warriors and civilians in his home died.


    The guilt was so piercing that he could barely concentrate to even meditate these days, it was killing him from the inside.


    Amid his chaotic thoughts, Legs interrupted.


    "You know, I''m d that you''re feeling this way".


    "At least, it''ll make me feel relieved that I didn''t take an emotionless murderer in as my student, I''m d you''re like this".


    "Is this the price for power?" Christensen interrupted before Legs could continue as he looked at his master hoping for his answers.


    Legs looked back at Christensen before nodding his head slightly. "Yes, you can say this is the price for power".


    "You know, in this super world, you either get power or you''re left behind or even worse killed. Without power, you and I will be long dead".


    "Without power, you''d have died on your first time returning to Palm Ind. Without power, we''d have all died to the assassination attempt of the Clown Society, power is an integral part of our world to stay human".


    "You know, I have a self-rule for myself, a self-rule to never regret".


    "At this moment, I know you''re regretting what ifs. What if you were not greedy? What if you didn''t take a fancy to the Shadow Hound?"


    "In life, you get to take it as the worldes at you. There are no absolutes, every decision that you make, don''t regret it, just learn from it".


    "Nothing is set in stone. There are infinite possibilities of every decision that you take in life, if you decide to think about them all, you''ll die before you do anything, there''s just too many variables".


    "Who knows, perhaps if you didn''t even go for the Shadow Hound, another disaster would have befallen Palm Ind".


    "You seeking power was not wrong, yourck of power was your wrong".


    "Next time, try to get power enough to prevent something like this from happening. Own it, swallow the guilt and get better from it".


    "Just remember this, don''t ever regret your life choices".


    Legs chuckled the next moment. "I don''t even know why I''m saying this, take my words with a pinch of salt, they may just be nonsense babbling".


    "Afterall, we all came to live different lives".


    Christensen looked Legs in the eyes. "Is seeking power a good enough reason to warrant so many lives dying for my single decision?"


    "I¡­" Legs was short of words. "I don''t know, really".


    "You''ll have to answer that question yourself".


    "What I do know is that not even trying to make a decision because of a fear of its consequences is the mentality of a coward"


    Legs patted his student. "Don''t give up on yourself Chris".


    "Just try your best like you did this time to salvage any situation that you cause. One day, you''ll be powerful enough to control anything".


    Christensen was finally able to force a smile. "Thanks master".


    "No worries kiddo".


    "Roar!"


    "Not you kiddo". Legs scratched his head andughed.


    For the next 2 hours, Christensen took his time going through what Legs said to him. Legs didn''t know his conclusion but what he knew was that Christensen indeed concluded on something as he finally stood up.


    "So, what next?" Christensen asked.


    "You already got your 2nd contracted beast, don''t you think it''s time to give it a name?"


    Christensen looked down at the Shadow Hound that caused him so much problem, then heughed. "You know, as a kid, I always wanted a dog pet".


    "Since you caused me so much trouble and guilt, I want to give you a name like Lucifer but I can''t bring myself to, you''re my contracted beast now".


    "I''ll name you Brutus".


    "Brutus is it then". Legs pped tomemorate this moment.


    Christensen rubbed the Shadow Hound''s fur affectionately though the stubborn fellow tried to resist. Brutus was now his contracted beast and obeyed him unconditionally, but it still had its own personality.


    The Hound''s resistance amused Christensen, he chuckled. "Don''t worry, one day, I''ll win you over, just wait".


    He turned to face his master again. "So, what next?"


    "We find Lucky". Legs sighed in exasperation.


    Legs gritted his teeth as he suddenly remembered something. "Despite sensing through our telepathic connection that I was in danger and close to death, that mother*cker really didn''t give a damn".


    "I''ll show you when I find you". Legs clenched his fists angrily.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Christensen, Legs, and their beasts jumped in through the rainbow bridge.


    On arriving at the other side, what Legs saw shocked the freaking soul out of him as he jumped in shock. "Lucky¡­?"


    Legs looked at his pet''s back in shock. "Who are these?"

 Chapter 100 Lucky And The Gang Of 7 Foxes

    "Lucky¡­?" Legs was shocked by the unexpected meeting.


    Lucky who was now far bigger than she was about a month ago raised her head arrogantly as she looked down at her master.


    She didn''t look down at Legs because she was now taller than him, she looked down at Legs because at this moment, she was standing on top another Fox whopletely defied nature and was as tall as Legs.


    Lucky looked down arrogantly at the familiar faces without saying a word.


    "¡­" Legs''s jaws dropped in shock.


    Knowing Lucky''s personality, he knew that she deliberately made their reunion to be this dramatic but he could not stop himself from being bbergasted.


    -----


    Warning! You have been affected by a Soul Skill: Emotional Maniption


    Your sense of awe has increased


    ----


    Legs was even more awed as he looked at this strange gang that Lucky showed up with out of nowhere.


    At this moment, Lucky was not alone but was with a gang of 7 foxes.


    Legs counted them in his head. ''A Red Fox, an Arctic Fox, a Tibetan Fox, a Gray Fox, a Ferrucyon Fox, a Dusicyon Avus, and the strange giant Hoary Fox''.


    Legs swallowed before turning to look at his pet. "Who are these?"


    Lucky''s eyes squinted in arrogance. "Do you admit defeat?"


    "Huh?" Legs was confused. "Defeat? Which defeat?"


    "Do you admit defeat now that I am the best, wisest, and strongest of all the beasts that you have?"


    "¡­"


    Lucky''s fur even seemed to stand on end arrogantly. "I am now a Grade D Fox, 4 of mypanions here are Grade D Foxes, the remaining 3 are pinnacle Grade E Foxes with special abilities".


    "I created an organization in the beast ne, I call it Lucky''s Society".


    "Redmane here is my Army Commander".


    "¡­"


    "In less than a month since we becameplete, we have taken the beast ne by storm. You see these scars on my face, they are remnants of the countless wars that I''ve fought in this month". Lucky stood taller arrogantly.


    "Using Redmane''s expert strategic nning, our greatest feat this month was killing a Grade C- Hell Eagle".


    "Legs". Lucky raised her head proudly. "What have you achieved this month?"


    "¡­"


    "Admit defeat now that I''m the best!"


    "¡­"


    Legs stood braindead for a few minutes as his brain registered everything that Lucky just said to him, the next moment he eruptedughing maniacally.


    "That''s why you f*cking left me to die despite knowing I was in danger?!"


    "Is that f*cking why?"


    "You ungrateful piece of sh*t!"


    Boom!


    Legs rushed towards Lucky but the giant Hoary Fox took one step forward, Legs paused as the Hoary Fox''s step made an impact like an earthquake.


    Legs chuckled. "Hey big guy, haha, can''t I y with you?"


    Legs took careful steps backward as he directed a look of greviance at Lucky. "That fellow just directed killing intent at me now".


    "Are these guys really your friends?"


    Luckyughed. "I won''t fall for your petty tricks, admit defeat".


    The next moment, the giant Hoary Fox spoke. "Admit defeat before her Royal Highness Lucky or face the consequences and die!"


    "¡­"


    "Haha". Legs scratched his head andughed. "Lucky, we''re buddies right? Are these guys serious right now?"


    -----


    Warning! You have been affected by a Soul Skill: Nightmare Genjutsu!


    Warning¡­!


    ----


    ''Genjutsu?!'' Legs''s heart skipped a beat.


    "Hey¡­, hey, I admit defeat!"


    He jumped. "I f*cking admit defeat!"


    "Lucky look at me!" Legs ran closer to his pet. "Damn, why did you change? You know you mean the whole world to me right?"


    "You know I''ve always believed in your potential, you''re the best, you know you''re my first love right?"


    Lucky tried to act nonchnt but she could not, she blushed. "Really?"


    "Yeah, of course, Predator I''m speaking the truth right?"


    Having been looking at the Yellow Fox since, Predator finally confirmed that this was his missing friend. Without giving a damn about Legs or even the 7 foxes, Predator swaggered forward before pushing the giant fox away.


    He jumped at Lucky the next moment as he roared.


    Lucky tsked in disdain. "You''re still so yful, aren''t you ashamed?"


    "Roar!"


    All the foxes were rmed as they got prepared to tear the Nightmare Beast into pieces but Lucky reacted fast enough to stop them. "Hey, stop, they''re family".


    ¡­


    A few minutester, they gathered round a bonfire in the beast ne.


    "Uhh¡­, so, these guys, are they your subordinates or what because for some reason they give me Naruto''s 7 ninja swordsmen vibes?"


    Lucky tilted her head in confusion. "What''s Naruto?"


    "Ahh¡­" Legs finally remembered where he was. "Never mind, I think my brain just strayed off there".


    "So, who are they really? They were calling you royalty".


    Lucky raised her head proudly. "They''re my friends".


    "After leaving you, I sought for ways to be a Grade D beast myself but it was hard, not until I met Redmane though".


    "He imed that I had royalty bloodline and that he could help me fulfill my potential. I was injured then so after he saved me, I trusted him".


    "He helped me be a Grade D beast in less than a week".


    "After that, he started exining how unique I was to me. He said that I had the potential to be a 9-tailed fox and that he''ll help me".


    "He said ording to history, 7panions were perfect for the 9-tailed fox and that once they know my identity, they''ll follow me voluntarily".


    "He helped me find the remaining 6 and like he said, they were not only powerful and talented, they agreed to follow me once they knew my identity".


    "I told you I was special".


    "I know". Legs smiled as he rubbed Lucky''s head.


    "No rubbing of heads!"


    "Hey, you''re no fun. You know, when I rub your head, research says that you grow stronger faster, it will help you pull the distance from Predator".


    "Really?"


    "Yeah".


    "Then rub my head".


    As Legs rubbed Lucky''s head and as the fox purred, he directed a suspicious look at the red fox that casuallyid down a few distance away.


    ''Who are you?'' He thought.


    In Darvis and the part of the beast ne that was connected here, Legs believed that no human or beast could identify Lucky.


    Lucky even had to evolve once before he identified her real potential. For this red fox to identify her 9-tailed potential, it was definitely no ordinary fox.


    ''Damn, Lucky is just a few months old and you guys are hitting on her already? Perverse foxes, I''ll definitely unveil your real identity though''.


    Amid Legs''s thoughts, Lucky suddenly made a demand.


    "Legs".


    "Huh?"


    "Use that ability of yours to grant me the ability to be the leader of a herd".


    "Ahh¡­" Legs was surprised by her demands, then heughed. "But that is only possible if you are my contracted beast".


    "I know but our rtionship is even closer than your contracted beasts, I believe it will work".


    Legs smiled and raised his brows. "So now you''re finally admitting how close we are right?"


    "Get lost!"


    "Hahaha". Legsughed his heart out. "Let me try it though".


    Legs sat upright before cing his right hand on Lucky''s head.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: God of the Herd


    ? ----


    Legs watched and waited in anticipation


    The next moment, his virtual interface lit up again.


    -----


    Congrattions¡­


    ----

 Chapter 101 Redmane, The Mysterious Red Fox

    -----


    Congrattions! You have bestowed your herd with a leader!


    Lucky has received the following bonuses as the leader of the herd


    [Bonuses:]


    >+80 Strength, +100 Dexterity, +40 Vitality, +100 Intelligence, +40 Charm<


    >Lucky have gained +1000 Health Points<


    >Lucky have unlocked passive ability: Leading Aura<


    > Leading Aura: +10% overall stat boost to 5 foxes in the pack<


    ----


    Unlike the first time that Legs used the God of the Herd ability, Lucky literally gained bonuses that were 2 times better than Ak received.


    He didn''t know if this was possible because of his improved strengthpared to the previous time that he used it, or because like Lucky said, their rtionship was even closer than his rtionship with his contracted beasts.


    Since Lucky was a product that literally came as apanion gift to him to apany him through his reincarnation journey, their rtionship was extremely close despite Lucky''s arrogance and her childish shenanigans.


    With the God of the Herd ability working on Lucky, Legs heaved a sigh of relief since this meant a lot of things.


    First, it meant that it was like Lucky said and all the 7 foxes were its subordinates. At least, for the time being, none of them had hostile intentions towards her and were genuine in their desire to follow her.


    This reduced Legs''s cause for rm about the real identity of the Red Fox, it did not remove itpletely though since his suspicions remained.


    Secondly, the ability working meant that through Lucky, Legs could now observe the virtual status of all the foxes the same way that he could ess the virtual status of all the wolves in Ak''s herd through Ak.


    Legs wasted no time before he essed it.

    Legs stopped at this guy. ''Biscuit is his name, lmao''. He could not control himself as his shoulders shook uncontrobly fromughter.


    Seeing the soul affinity, he already recognized that it was this guy that tried to force him into admitting defeat to Lucky through his soul powers.


    ''Biscuit attacked me, nobody would believe''. Legsughed.


    "What?" Lucky turned to look at him.


    "Nothing". Legs rubbed his nose as he smiled. "I was just dreaming".


    Lucky rolled her eyes but she was toozy to press him.


    Once Lucky lost interest, Legs heaved a sigh of relief before essing his virtual interface to look at the status of thest 2 foxes in the herd.

    This fellow was without doubt the strangest of all.


    This Hoary Fox was strange not only for its incredible gigantic size for a fox, but also the fact that it moved at day, Hoary Foxes were nocturnal foxes.


    Once Legs saw the Strength Affinity though, he understood. ''This guy is the real deal, Lucky hit the jackpot, damn, how did she find this guy?''


    The strength affinity was one of the rarest and most powerful affinities in Dominator, the few Pugilists that awakened it all grew to became gods and legends in their variouss spread across the world of Dominator.


    Legs did not pay too much attention to him though as he was finally before the main reason that attracted him to looking at their virtual statuses.

    If the red gs were not raised before, they were finally raised now.


    Legs was rmed by what he saw. The question mark on the affinity tab indicated that Redmane had a 3rd affinity that he could not ess due to his low levelpared to the Red Fox, this alone was rming enough.


    The question mark in its level meant that it was more than 50 levels higher than Legs, Legs was rmed at the discovery.


    The Grade didn''t mean anything since Legs himself also knew of at least 3 ways in which he could cheat and mask his real grade.


    The attributes, health points, and mana points also didn''t matter since experts could find their way around it. The other exposure was the abilities.


    More than 2 question mark tabs meant that Redmane had a whole lot of other abilities that Legs was not qualified to see yet.


    Legs could feel his feet already turning jelly as he fought hard to stay natural. ''Who the hell are you Redmane?'' He wondered dreadfully.


    A few meters away from his position, the Red Fox narrowed its eyes even as it also pretended to act natural. ''So he really is the owner of the Moon Fox?''


    ''I expected him to be special but not to this extent''.


    ''He managed to probe so deep into my abilities''.


    ''I need to raise my guard around him''.


    While the Red Fox thought, Legs also thought. ''I need to stay natural''.


    He distracted himself by focusing on his other discoveries from looking at the virtual status of the 7 powerful foxes in Lucky''s Society.


    Apart from the rming discoveries, one thing that made Legs heave a sigh of relief was the strange fact that they were all loyal to Lucky.


    ''Do they really see her as royalty?'' He was not sure since he didn''t know.


    Another fact was the status of the 7 Foxes, from their status, Lucky just formed the most formidable team of beasts in their circle.


    If Lucky''s Society worked together, they could solo all of them and win. In the virtual status, it just showed their basic active abilities.


    It was like a summary of their abilities, to see their real skills and abilities, Legs had to click the tabs which would drop an even bigger tab.


    All in all, the Foxes were a powerful reinforcement to his cause.


    ''Even if the Red Fox''s identity is suspicious, so long as they are not hostile to me now, I can make use of them to my satisfaction till rtionships turn sour''.


    ''I think I''m ready to execute my ns now''.


    That night, Legs slept early because tomorrow was special.


    After another month interval, it was time for the grey world gathering.

 Chapter 102 The Grey World Gathering, A New Member, And The Emperors Predicament

    Morning in the beast ne was the same in Darvis.


    The bright rays of the sun tinged with a hint of red shone from the horizons, illuminating this massive world and all its inhabitants.


    Like its glow was an announcement for the day to start, the chirping of birds and sounds from other animals soon filled the air, forming a lively cacophony.


    Among the cacophony was a ring high-pitched barking sound.


    On waking up, Legs looked only to see something shocking.


    All 8 foxes of Lucky''s Society were already gathered at a corner of their hideout as they all went through their morning drill under Commander Redmane, the Red Fox was serious as it issued orders to the foxes.


    "¡­" Legs was speechless.


    "Do they really think they''re a military unit?" He chuckled and stood up.


    Despite all the beasts waking up already, Christensen was still the only one shamelessly snoring as he enjoyed the sweet world of sleep.


    Bam!


    Legs kicked him on the butt. "Wake up".


    "Ouch¡­" Christensen rubbed his butt as he slowly woke up.


    "What time is it?" Christensen asked in aining tone as he rubbed his eyes, clearly, he still wanted to continue sleeping.


    Legs tsked. "Have you forgotten what day today is?"


    Christensen paused a bit before his eyes shone the next moment. "Ahh¡­, I''m sorry, I''m so foolish, I almost forgot".


    While Legs left to wash up, Christensen also left as he rushed to wash up the jungle way since they were not inside a shelter at this moment.


    Having lived alongside Legs in the wild for over a month already, Christensen already learned the ways of the wild.


    Once they were ready, Legs waved his beasts goodbye.


    Not knowing Redmane''s real identity and the extent of his abilities, Legs was not taking the chance of going to the grey world in his presence.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    On returning to the ind, Legs quickly located a cave that could protect them when they were out before sitting cross-legged.


    Legs instructed his student. "Sit down cross-legged and meditate".


    "Don''t open your eyes till everything is over".


    "Remember, be respectful when meeting the Hermit".


    "Yes master". Christensen replied with a mixture of excitement, dread, and anticipation in his voice as he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.


    As soon as Christensen started meditating, Legs opened his eyes before secretly touching the grey apple tattoo that was on his wrist.


    Instantly, Legs''s consciousness left his body to the grey world.


    Bzzz!


    On arriving, Legs saw the old Elementalist already waiting for him. "Aaron, how''s life been going? It''s been long since I saw you man".


    Aaronughed. "Nothing much, the usual, just studying the grey world".


    "Oh, have you discovered more?"


    "Not really, I told you that we''ll be left in the dark until you be stronger since that is when more of the mysteries of the grey world would open to us".


    "Ok". Legs replied as he observed the grey world.


    Everything was in order, most of all, the setting for the grey world gathering was already set-up by Aaron even before his arrival.


    "Thanks man". Legs patted the old man before taking the head throne.


    As soon as Legs sat on the throne of the Hermit, he saw the dark-orb shaped objects representing the members of his gathering glowing.


    He first created a doppelganger for himself before drawing them in.


    Bzzz! Bzzz!


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit". Like in all other gatherings, the Star''s cheerful voice was the first sound that graced the gathering.


    The Emperor and World''s voices reverberated the next moment as they paid their respects to the Hermit who was calmly seated on his throne.


    As soon as they sat down on their seats, on the Hermit''s silent consent, they were about to start the gathering but the Hermit interrupted this time.


    "Before we start today, I want to introduce a new member to our gathering that was rmended and evaluated by the World".


    The Star and the Emperor were surprised.


    Before they could understand what was going on, the air space shifted.


    Bzzz!


    A new member appeared inside the grey world the next moment.


    As soon as Christensen appeared in this grey and gloomy world, he felt his heart skip a beat first but he forced himself to stayposed and focused.


    Like Legs instructed him beforeing here, he bowed and payed his respects to the blurry silhouette of the Hermit before exchanging basic greetings with the other members of the gathering.


    The Star and the Emperor were polite as they weed him.


    After this, Christensen sat down on one of the empty chairs but he barely sat down before the Hermit addressed him, Christensen''s heart skipped a beat.


    "Give yourself a codename".


    ''Ahh¡­" Christensen almost felt like hitting his head, due to the tension and his uneasiness, he forgot this.


    He hurried to stand up again before thinking, he already forgot the codename that he decided on before now so he settled for a random one.


    "Call me the Magician".


    Legs felt like shaking his head at his student''s performance. ''And he decided on the Sun yesterday''.


    Without further ado, as soon as the Magician choose his codename, the gathering kicked off as the first phasemenced.


    Starting with the Star, all of them gave ounts of the happenings in the outside world in their various regions, updating each other on trending news.


    After about 35 minutes, this phase of the gathering came to an end as the transaction session began where members trade among themselves.


    Today''s transaction session became the liveliest in the history of the grey world gathering. It seems that the Clown Revolution affected a lot of things since all 4 members of the gathering had a lot to trade this time.


    Even the neer, the Magician traded a lot of goodies. The Star ended up purchasing the Elementalist staff that the Magician put up for sale.


    After over an hour of transactions, this session finally came to an end.


    The Hermit was the one with the privilege of taking proceedings of the 3rd andst phase of the grey world gathering since it mostly involved him giving missions and objectives to the members of the gathering.


    Since the gathering started, through his omnipresent control, Legs detected from the beginning that the Emperor was in a state of emotional turmoil.


    Since he didn''t talk about it, he also didn''t ce it on himself to ask but before he could take proceedings of thest phase through his Hermit identity, the Emperor gritted his teeth as he gathered the courage to speak.


    The Emperor fell on his knees. "Your Excellency, please I need your help¡­"


    "¡­" The Hermit kept quiet for a few seconds before nodding calmly.


    For some reason, this simple nod sent a message of calmness and confidence through all the members that the tension of the Emperor kneeling disappeared.


    "Your Excellency, my tribe is in danger of the Clown Society".


    "Since their emergence, they''ve always targeted our mineral resources for various reasons. Recently, they took more drastic measures".


    "I don''t know how they did it but the Clown Society managed to bring the Ancient Titan race of the desert back to life".


    "They are now using the great Titans to bring an end to my tribe".


    "Your Excellency, please, I need your help, we''re barely standing".


    "¡­" The Hermit was silent as he looked at the kneeling Emperor.


    Legs was shocked at the Emperor''s words. ''They''re reanimating the Titans already? Things are moving faster than in my previous world''.


    ''Are these ripple effects of my reincarnation?"


    As Legs thought, his virtual interface lit up a notification.


    -----


    [You have received a Grade C Mission¡­]

 Chapter 103 Grade C Mission: Save The Audun Tribe

    -----


    [You have received a Grade C Mission: Save the Audun Tribe!]

    [Mission Reward: 1,500,000 Experience Points, 1,000,000 Darvis Credits and a Mission Completion Card.]


    ----


    As soon as he received this mission, Legs was ced in deep thought.


    ''Things are elerating so fast in this world''. Legs vividly remembered that the Clown Society only did this like 4 to 5 monthster.


    Without a doubt, his reincarnation was already causing ripple effects.


    Legs did not know if these changes were a good thing but of course, he was not about to regret his reincarnation. Like he advised his student, he would simply take things in an optimistic manner and try to change things.


    ''Also, it ys right into my ns for the Clown Society''.


    ''To have ess to the knowledge of the big organizations of Darvis like the Summoner Academy and the others, I need to attract their attention first, what better way to attract their attention than through the Clown Society''.


    ''I need to establish my ce in this world''.


    ''Also''. Legs''s eyes gleamed. ''It means that my de-saving n will need toe forward, I just can''t leave that kid to fate''.


    On seeing the Hermit keep silent for seconds after he made his demands, the Emperor felt all hopes of saving his tribe fading to the deepest abyss.


    Thinking of his beautiful wife and his growing son, tears could not help but flow down his eyes at the thought of losing them all.


    The Emperor''s deep emotions woke Legs from his thoughts.


    "I will save your tribe".


    The Hermit''s sudden response spread through the grey world like thunder, attracting the attention of all its members and keeping them silent at the same time. By now, they already knew that the Hermit''s words werew.


    The Hermit rarely spoke and every time that he did, he always managed to induce a sense of authority and reliability among the members of the gathering.


    ''I will save your tribe¡­'' The word just kept on reverberating in the Emperor''s head like the decree of a god from heaven.


    As soon as it registeredpletely, he hit his head against the grey mist repeatedly as he expressed his gratitude to the Hermit''s benevolence.


    The Hermit''s deep voice reverberated again. "The World wille to assist you, with my help, he will seed and the Titans will be stopped".


    The Emperor waited for the Hermit to name his price for this help but in the end, the Hermit never mentioned it, stunning him even more.


    ''He helped me for free?'' The Emperor waspletely shocked as his faith in this organization that fate connected him to grew. ''If Jeldia and Agan survive, my loyalty will forever lie on the Hermit''.


    Legs smirked as through the grey world, he read the Emperor''s thoughts because of his strong emotions. ''Your loyalty is my greatest price''.


    With everything done, the Hermit finally took proceedings for thest phase of the gathering, he gave them collective missions.


    "The mission for all members remains the same, keep on the lookout for any information about the Clown Society".


    "Put more emphasis on information about the desert to assist in the Emperor''s mission to save his tribe from annihtion".


    The gathering ended in a more climatic atmosphere today since the Hermit revealed another side of his persona to the members.


    As soon as all the members of the gathering left, Legs heaved a sigh of relief as he rubbed his chin to ease himself from the stress of pro acting.


    "It''s so hard being a chatan man".


    Legs did not leave immediately though, he met Aaron again. "Did you take notice of the Red Fox, Redmane?"


    "Yes, I was about to tell you about him".


    Legs was surprised. "Did you discover anything?"


    "Actually, yes". Aaron scratched his head. "Do you remember when we just met and were still bickering, do you know how I knew you reincarnated?"


    "Umm, no".


    "At that moment, the grey world enabled me to see a little beyond the natural. I saw a green light of vitality connected to your abdomen that extends far out of this world to another world entirely".


    "I didn''t know it''s meaning at first but Iter understood".


    "Since then, I started observing every new person or beast that you met. Their green light of vitality always stays rooted to this, only Lucky is an exception whose green light extend to the same destination as you".


    "The 3rd anomalous persona that I met is Redmane".


    "Unlike you and Lucky though, Redmane''s light of vitality does not extend to another world entirely, it''s extension is much shorter and precise".


    "Though I don''t know it''s ending destination, what I know is that it extends beyond this outside".


    Legs eyes widened. "Are you saying¡­?"


    "Yes, I think Redmane is not from this".


    This reveal from Aaron shocked Legs but it also confirmed a lot of his suspicions about the Red Fox, he was right to be wary around it.


    "Damn, what is his motive for drawing close to Lucky?" He cursed.


    ''Does he intend to steal Lucky?'' He thought and shuddered.


    "Damn, I must return back to the real world, thanks for the info Aaron".


    "No worries Legs".


    Bzzz!


    The next moment, Legs''s consciousness returned to his body.


    On opening his eyes and looking to the side, he saw Christensen lying on the bare floor with his hands spread wide and a bright smile on his face.


    "What''s amusing you?" Legs raised his eyebrows and asked.


    "So you were part of such a badass secret organization all this time master?" Christensen asked as stars filled his eyes.


    "I don''t know how to ce this but I''m living my dream man".


    Christensen turned to look at his master. "Thank you master".


    "The greatest fortune of my life was meeting you".


    "Umm¡­" Legs turned his face away as it burned red. ''F*ck, when did you be such a good speaker? You''re making me feel weird''.

 Chapter 104 Leaving The Blue Sea

    -----


    You have failed the Grade C Mission: Kill the Berserk Frost Wolf!


    You have received no rewards


    ----


    Looking at this virtual interface notification again, Legs felt his heart ache. The mere realization that he lost hundreds of thousands of experience points left him in agonizing pain in his heart.


    ''Man, my experience stockpile would have increased more''.


    In recent months, he was no longer leveling up since the cost of leveling up grew even more outrageously after he became a Grade D superhuman.


    He now needed hundreds of thousands of experience points for each level up, and was why he decided to stack up on his experience points.


    He would only level up when he felt that he already had enough stockpile and leveling up could yield an actual increase to his strength.


    About the Grade C Mission, the Frost Wolf was just too strong.


    Despite integrating with Predator and giving his all in the previous battle, against a Grade C beast''s defense, his attacks barely made a dent on its hide.


    He was only able to chip away a little more than 2% of its health despite how much he tried, and this was already due to his incredible strength.


    Without the Clown''s arrival, Palm Ind would have definitely fallen.


    Legs felt it was funny. ''Now, the viin is the hero who saved us''.


    He was d though, so long as the end needs were met, Legs did not give a damn how or who made it possible for it to happen.


    Christensen''s decision to go after the Shadow Hound was not wrong in his opinion, if he was in his student''s position, he would have taken the same decision. This did not mean that the decision didn''t have its consequences though.


    Legs dreaded the aftermath if Palm Ind would have fallen.


    Though Christensen''s super way was to exceed him in strength, if his ancestral home was destroyed due to his decisions, he dared not think of the adverse effects that it would have on his student''s growth.


    ''I already invested so much in him, I can''t let him fall, definitely not''.


    It was already more than an hour since they returned from the grey world, he spent the time recovering his summoner energy while Christensen continued bbering on, showing how excited he was about joining a secret organization.


    "Master, what is our goal again?"


    "The current goal of the Hermit gathering is to bring an end to the ongoing revolution of the Clown Society that has the potential to destroy this".


    "Damn, that sounds so cool". Christensen rubbed his arms excitedly. "I still can''t believe that you''re a close aide of the almighty Hermit".


    "Though I know it''s normal, after all you''re my master". Christensen winked andughed. "But¡­, I don''t know, it feels weird but it kinda makes me feel proud all of a sudden".


    Smack!


    Legs wacked him on the head. "Get ready, we''ll be leaving soon".


    "Yes master!" Christensen jumped up but he started talking again. "You know, I can''t forget the Hermit''s deep sage voice when he assigned you with the mission to go rescue the Emperor".


    Christensen mimicked the Hermit''s voice. "The World wille to assist you, with my help, he will seed and the Titans will be stopped".


    Then he jumped. "That sounded so badass man, I had goosebumps".


    Whoosh!


    Expecting it this time, Christensen dodged his master''s hand as heughed. "You know, I''m already wondering about what the Hermit looks like beyond that thick mist, do you think he''s a scary monster?"


    "You talk too much".


    -----


    You have activated ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    "I talk a lot when I''m excited¡­"


    Christensen was cut off as Legs dragged him through the rainbow bridge.


    Bzzz!


    About a secondter, they arrived in the beast ne.


    On arriving, Legs saw the foxes in a round circle engaging in what seemed like a strategy meeting as Commander Redmane addressed the others.


    "¡­" Legs was left speechless at theical sight.


    As soon as she saw him, Lucky jumped up excitedly which was a rare sight, causing Legs to raise his eyebrows as he walked closer.


    "Legs, you''ll be following us hunting today".


    "Huh?" Legs was surprised. "I didn''t bargain for this".


    "No excuses". Lucky was firm. "You need to see the strength of Lucky''s society, our unique powers and Redmane''smanding prowess".


    All Lucky''s points flew right through Legs''s ears except thest one as he smiled. "If you insist, I guess I''ll see you guys in action then".


    "Yay!" Lucky jumped.


    Legs was surprised again. ''Is it only me or is Lucky bing even more cheerful since our reunion?" He rubbed his chin in thought.


    Legs kept his mouth sealed as he followed the foxes out after ordering Christensen to apany all the other beasts who were content with taking a nap.


    Well, after a 6-hour hunt tour, Legs only had a few sentences to describe what he saw. "Winter is a beast".


    "Kalsang is slippery as f*ck".


    "Hunter is a freaking hunter, the boy''s too good to be true".


    "Vixen is well, the girl if is a f*cking vixen".


    "Biscuit is a clown".


    "Zorro is a freaking monster".


    "Redmane is a freak".


    "Lucky''s Society is so f*cking badass".


    For the first time in a long time, Legs was forced to look above all of Lucky''s annoying moments and sincerely love his pet. "Lucky is amazing".


    The hunting session was brought to an end on hismand, after spending more than enough time training Christensen and getting dragged into different battles, he was now ready to go to the desert.


    After he made his intention known, his beasts made their choices.


    Lucky decided to stay in the beast ne and continue honing her abilities alongside her society friends, she would be avable on his summons though.


    Though he could not summon her like his contracted beasts, through their telepathic connection, he could locate where she was in the beast ne and open a bridge directly to her location to go get her.


    As for Predator, having spent more than enough time on the beast ne already, this beast already missed his master and refused to leave.


    Predator insisted on following him to Darvis.


    Ak, like the usual humble and loyalpanion that he was decided to follow any orders that he gave. In the end, Legs decided to leave him in the beast ne with the wolves to continue expanding the wolf pack.


    After different battles in the beast ne, some of the Grade F wolves already died and were reced by others but they were not to his satisfaction yet.


    Ak was still the only Grade D wolf in the pack and Warg was also still the only Grade E wolf in the pack, Ak had work to do to strengthen the pack.


    After settling things with his beasts, Legs turned to face his student.


    Leo''s choice was easy, he was following his master. As for Brutus, this came the awkward part as master and beast just kept on looking at each other.


    Brutus looked at Christensen with an uninterested look on his doggy face.


    Legs coughed and interrupted. "Ahem, I think I know the perfect remedy to this situation, I think Brutus should stay in the beast ne".


    "He should apany Lucky''s group and be their scout".


    "Oh, if you say so". Christensen easily agreed.


    Legs smiled as he turned to look at the nonchnt Shadow Hound. ''I can''t wait to see how you''ll fare alongside Lucky, 2 egoistical fellows''.


    ''This is going to be a sh of egos man!''


    ''I can''t wait''. Legs was excited.


    With that, everything was settled and he left the beast ne.

 Chapter 105 The Audun Tribe

    Somewhere in the Great Golden Desert¡­


    Amidst the duneplex that spread across the world of dry gold, forming a picture that looked straight out of a fairytale stood houses and stone structures.


    All around a distance across kilometers was sand, but in the middle of nowhere in the Great Golden Desert was this human settlement.


    Houses constructed using mud bricks and stones covered a territory spanning kilometers. They were mostly small,pact, and where built in a dome shape except the one building that was at the center of this settlement.


    Not only bigger than all the others, but this building was made like a pyramid.


    This was the home of the Audun Tribe of the Great Golden Desert.


    As the dry dust flew with the wind, activities went on inside.


    "All rangers to the outpost and wait for instructions!" A loud voice reverberated through the heat of the desert as it yelled orders repeatedly.


    "All new builders to the perimeter, join the others in the building effort".


    "We must build the wall and erect a defense perimeter to protect our home before they get here!"


    As soon as each order was yelled out by themander, the corresponding warriors who were all dressed in desert clothes obeyed and sprinted to fulfill them.


    Before now, themander already assigned roles to them so they understood where they stood and obeyed as soon as the orders were given.


    Standing among the warriors was a bright purple-haired middle-aged man, well, using his hair asparison didn''t matter since they were all purple-haired.


    Purple hair was the defining trait of the Audun tribe of the Great Desert.


    Most if not all of the warriors of the tribe had purple hair.


    "All protectors to the wall, protect the builders!"


    As soon as Altan heard this, he was jolted awake as he picked up his war sickle and sprinted alongside other warriors to the perimeter of the wall.


    As he sprinted away, themander''s words slowly faded.


    Altan briefly looked back at his home then he said his prayers. "May the Tree God protect my family until my return".


    On arriving alongside the other warriors, Altanid his eyes on the wall made of mud bricks and stones that was slowly being erected by the builders.


    The builders were hard at work, relentlessly piling up the stones to push the wall higher as their survival probably depended on if the wall was erected on time.


    While they did this, the transporters were also hard at work. Walking great distances, these warriors carried mud bricks and stones to the perimeter of the tribe for the construction of the wall.


    The rangers were already sent out by their captain as they spread out in a semi-circle formation, scouting the surroundings for any threat.


    Alongside the other protectors, Altan preserved his strength.


    Honk!


    The next moment, the loud sound of a horn reverberated, all the protectors stood up as they grabbed their weapons and got prepared for battle.


    Honk! Honk!


    2 more ring horn sounds reverberated.


    ''3 horn sts, arge army''. Altan''s face turned grim.


    As they waited, just a few secondster, they finally saw them. Hundreds of Giant Desert Beetles charged down the sand dunes towards them with speed.


    These mutated beetles were as huge as rabbits and also blessed with their speed, they had poisonous and extremely hard mandibles for tearing prey apart.


    The Captain, protector Aegon raised a clenched fist to indicate stillness.


    Altan held his war sickle tighter and prayed. "May the Tree God protect us".


    Everything faded into static as the beetles charged in their numbers while the protectors waited until Captain Aegon finally gave the signal.


    He dropped his hand. "Now!"


    Boom!


    The rope was cut by one of the protectors as the sand opened up on their front, swallowing dozens of Giant Beetles in one swoop.


    The Beetles screeched as they paused their charge, right on time for the archers and warriors with spears to unleash their wrath on them.


    Whoosh!


    Arrows and spears were thrown as even more Beetles were killed.


    This was when the other protectors finally charged out. With their different war weapons and their purple hair gleaming under the sun, they charged straight at the Giant Beetles without fear to protect their home.


    The battle was a long and bloody one.


    ¡­


    Inside the biggest building in the Audun Tribe, the Elder''s Pyramid.


    Seated around a round table were elders with white hair as they discussed the fate of the Audun Tribe with grim looks on their faces.


    "The advance of the Titans is faster than expected". One of the elders said as he turned the map that was on the table".


    "Most viges in the Freljord territory have already been wiped out".


    "The Freljord tribe itself has been affected". Another elder said. "News came that they were attacked yesterday, they barely survived".


    "Tribe Leader Ferder is already nning a relocation".


    "To hell with this Clown Society!" One elder exploded. "They do want to deprive us of our homes, unforgivable!"


    "Who cares about the others? Let''s just protect our territory".


    "Once the wall is built, we can stay safe, we''re not the tribe closest to the ruins so we have a chance of surviving".


    Seated at the head seat in this round table was the Tribe head of the Audun tribe, Lord Aragast, he spoke. "If they already reached the Freljord territory, their next destination if the Freljord fall will be the Drago Celeste territory".


    "The Drago Celeste tribe can hold them off until the n of the Head tribe is realized". On noticing the elders'' surprise, the Tribe head nodded. "Yes, I received a letter indicating the will of the Kong Gang yesterday".


    "Their rangers have discovered a lot more than us; the Clown Society is a disaster to all desert tribes. Apart from the Titans, there are rumors that they can control desert beasts".


    "They are the reason for the increased frequency of beast attacks".


    "They have the potential of bringing an end to our history".


    The Tribe head paused before he continued. "The Kong Tribe wants the 8 tribes to ally together for the first time in over a century".


    "Absolutely not!" The elders were shocked and enraged.


    "We''ve not forgotten what the Jabari tribe did to us, they killed our warriors in battle, we can never forgive them!"


    "Even our neighbors, there''s no way that we can go to war asrades with the Godoka tribe, we''ll rather die!"


    "The Head tribe has gone overboard this time!"


    "We will not allow it¡­"


    "No¡­"


    As the elders caused amotion voicing their thoughts, the Tribe head looked at them for a few seconds before shaking his head.


    He roared the next moment. "Silence!"


    Bam!


    Aragast red his blood-red pugilist energy as he crushed the stone-made armrest of his chair as he stood up and red at all the elders. "You overpampered selfish bastards filled with only thoughts of acting when it involves your self-interest".


    "Have you forgotten your roots?"


    "Have you forgotten why you became elders?!"


    "You lived long enough to be elders because our ancestors protected us, they built the foundation for us, their descendants to strive and survive".


    Aragast raised a finger and warned. "In case you''ve all forgotten, the number one goal of the elder''s council is to protect the younger generation and take decisions for them that they are too inexperienced to take".


    "I agree with Kohama''s n. The Kong Tribe wants to form an elite allied squad of rangers and protectors to find the enemies first and discover ways to kill them before they kill us".


    "From what we know, regr ways don''t kill them and they are nocturnal".


    Aragast red at the elders. "Inform the Commanders, let them select the best 20 of our rangers and protectors and send them to the Kong Tribe".


    "The council is dismissed".

 Chapter 106 Vanguard Mission [1]

    Ha! Ha!


    Altan struggled to breath as he copsed on the floor.


    After a tiring battle thatsted well over an hour and after some inescapable sacrifices, the protectors finally managed to drive the Giant Desert Beetles back.


    Amid his rapid breathing, the first thing that Altan thought of was thanking his god for saving his life as he made a brief praying form to the east.


    After that, he just stayed lying on the sand, looking at the blood of the beetles that stained his body and that also stained his war sickle.


    His war sickle was a customized weapon. Before bing a warrior, he was a farmer who served the Tree god by trying his best to nurture the few trees that can grow in the extreme conditions of the desert.


    He believed that the Tree god was eternal. The fact that a tree could survive in a desert as hot and dry as this was proof that his god was eternal.


    While resting, he looked at the corpse of hisrades that were already being taken care of by the rangers.


    ''When will this all end?'' He wondered.


    He briefly remembered the Hermit''s promise and he felt at peace a little.


    He barely closed his eyes to rest before the loud voice of his Captain interrupted him.


    "Amak, Arya, Anabel, Altan, Arnold, Argast, Ackermann, you are all to report to the elder''s pyramid with me".


    "Yes captain!"


    Without any questions, Altan forced himself up before following the captain and the other 6 protectors that were called. In no time, they arrived before a full elder council alongside 12 other warriors from the rangers department.


    Tribe head Aragast addressed them himself.


    "The threat of the Titans is approaching faster than we expected".


    "The Freljord tribe was attacked yesterday, they barely made it".


    "At the moment, the only bit of information that we know about the animated Titans from the sacrifices of rangers of the Freljord and Kong tribes is their nocturnal weakness".


    "If we don''t act fast, we may die before we know it".


    "Kohama''s n is to send an elite team of protectors and rangers to go deep enough to know more about them, we know too little at this moment".


    "I agree with the n and you lots will be the 20 champions that will be representing our great Audun Tribe".


    "Take this mission with great honor".


    "Dismissed".


    "n head". The warriors bowed before making their way out of the elder''s pyramid, they were given a few dozen minutes to go see their family.


    Of course, Altan did not waste this opportunity as he ran to his house where his wife was outside tanning animal hide while his son was ying about.


    At the tender age of 4, Agan still had a year to enjoy his childhood before officially being taken into the ranks as a warrior of Audun.


    "Daddy!" Agan cried as soon as he saw his father, running into his embrace.


    Altan carried his boy. "You''re growing so fast".


    Like him, the little boy also had purple hair.


    "You''re back?" Altan''s beautiful wife asked as she left what she was doing, prompting a wide smile to lit this warrior''s face.


    Unlike the other 2, Altan''s wife, Jeldia was of the Jabari tribe and had wine-colored hair. Altan embraced his 2 most important things in the world for a few minutes, giving his wife the hint that she wanted.


    "You''re leaving?"


    "Yes". Altan whispered into her ear. "An elite team to stop the Titans".


    She patted his back slightly and kissed him on the lips before pulling out of the embrace, then she turned her back to him. "Fight hard, kill the Titans and make the tribe proud".


    "I will be cheering for your victory".


    "Yes, my queen". Altan dropped his boy, rubbed his head onest time before cing his hand on his war sickle''s hilt as he turned to leave.


    His emotions could not help his Pugilist energy from ring a bit. Like most warriors of the Audun Tribe, Altan was a Pugilist.


    "Father,e home with a big Titan''s head". Agan yelled.


    "I will".


    "Father, promise me".


    "I promise". Altanughed.


    With her back facing him and her shoulders vibrating gently, tears flowed down Jeldia''s eyes. "Please don''t die¡­"


    ¡­


    Once all the warriors were gathered, they left for the Kong tribe.


    It took them a few hours but after moving through the dangerous terrain of the Golden Desert safely, they arrived at their destination.


    The Kong tribe settlement was much like the Audun tribe settlement with few differences. Being the head tribe of the other 7 tribes, it was much more prosperous and powerful than the Audun tribe.


    Alongside the Drago Celeste tribe, they were the only tribes to have a protective wall already around their territory for a long time.


    After leaving them outside at the entrance to the Kong elder''s pyramid, their Captains, Protector Aegon and Ranger Amanak entered inside.


    About a minuteter, Protector Aegon came back. "Come in".


    Alongside the others, Altan went in only to see dozens of other warriors already gathered before them. It seemed they were thest to arrive, there were warriors from all the other 7 tribes gathered already in this hall.


    At this moment, they were all standing before the elder''s council of the Kong Tribe and Tribe head Kohama himself was about to address them.


    "Wee, warriors from the 8 tribes of our ancestors".


    "Today, for the first time in over a century, we are about to embark on a mission that involves all 8 of our Great tribes".


    "I call this mission the Vanguard Mission".


    "Through the sacrifices of a lot of our rangers and protectors, we were able to learn very few about the Titans and their momentum is increasing".


    "First things first, we''ve learned that the Titans are weak and cannot move at night, bringing the hypothesis that their reanimation is powered by the sun".


    "Every part of their body is invincible and can not be killed even when you cut off their neck or you stab right through their heart".


    "Their only weakness is their brain. They have a certain crystal inside their brain, I believe this is how the Clown Society controls them".


    "By destroying the crystal, you seed in killing them".


    "This vital information was learned by one of our strongest protectors".


    "The Vanguard Mission requires more from you, I hear you''re the elites of your various tribes, now is the time to rescue your family with your skills".


    "The Titans are too strong, fighting them head-on will lead to our annihtion, we need to find a way to destroy them from their very root".


    "We believe this secret lies in their ancient tomb".


    "They''ve been dead for centuries until the Clown Society woke them up".


    "Your job as the Vanguard Mission is to find the secret trigger to bring an end to all the undead Titans".


    "You must achieve this goal if we are to survive, even if that involves losing your life, the Clown Society has pushed us this far".


    "Remember, the mission is to find the secret trigger".


    "Once you find it and cannot pull it, retreat and report the discovery, a bigger army would then be assembled to fight their way through and pull the trigger once and for all".


    "May your various gods protect you".

 Chapter 107 Vanguard Mission [2]

    ''The territories of the 8 Major Tribes are spread across the Great Desert''.


    ''The tribe with its territory at the far end of the desert closest to human settlements outside the desert is the Jabari tribe''.


    ''The next tribe after the Jabari tribe is the fierce Godoka tribe, followed by the even fiercer Audun tribe. Unlike the other tribes, the Godoka and Audun tribes are notorious for their great number of Pugilists''.


    ''Father, are we really such powerful Pugilists?''


    Altan smiled instinctively. ''Yes, we are the greatest Pugilists in the desert''.


    He patted his son. ''Continue reciting''.


    ''Ok, after these 2 tribes is the Kong tribe which is the head tribe, it was through their first ancestor that all the major tribes rose to power centuries ago''.


    ''After the Kong tribe is the Shagaai tribe, then the Drago Celeste tribe which is regarded by some as the present strongest tribe of all the tribes''.


    ''The Drago Celeste and Kong tribes are the strongest tribes''.


    ''After the Drago Celeste tribe is the Freljord tribe whose territory is at the furthest end of the desert close to the ancient ruins and tombs''.


    ''Father, what lies beyond the great desert?''


    Altan instinctively smiled again. "You''ll know when you''re old enough".


    "Huh?" Argast asked as his raised spoon with the food on it paused.


    The others paused too as they heard what Altan just said.


    Ackermann scoffed. "He''s reminiscing about his family again, I hate it when I have to go to missions with old men thinking about family in my squad".


    Again, Altan let his tongue slip while reminiscing about his fond memories with his son. "I''m sorry, I let my tongue slip".


    "You''d be better sorry telling the captain that you quit the mission".


    "No need to be so rude Ackermann". Arya stood up for the oldest in their protector squad. "He''s the oldest and 2nd strongest in our squad".


    "Well, I''m the strongest, I don''t give a damn".


    "So noisy". Arnoldined with a sigh as he covered his ears with earmuffs. Ackermann red at him but he was toozy to bother.


    This powerful youngdy turned to re at Altan again. "Next time you think about reminiscing about your family, do it in the woods!"


    p! p!


    Captain Aegon entered the tent where they ate as he pped. "Get up, fast, we''re summoned for the strategy meeting".


    "Yes captain!"


    As they left their unfinished food and followed their captain, Amak could not help but ask in a whisper. "We''re already in Drago Celeste territory, a short distance to the Freljord territory, yet¡­, we still don''t have a unifiedmander".


    "¡­"


    ¡­


    "My name is Captain Knock, a warrior of the Kong tribe". A young bearded man with sharp ck hair and eyes spoke and addressed all the warriors.


    "After discussing with my fellow captains for some time, we already came up with a viable strategy following our entrance into Freljord territory where the Titans already are".


    "Ourbat tactics is notplicated, just the basics to perfection".


    "Rangers will scout ahead for us, protectors will stay right behind them and once there is trouble, they will jump in to help and save them".


    "Since this is an emergency mission, we don''t have time to fully familiarize and integrate ourselves which is why we leave each captain to his original unit".


    "The captains know their units best and will be able to bring out the best in them, we don''t intend to jeopardize this synergy advantage".


    "The catalysts to synergize the different units will be the captains".


    "Though every captain is leading his own unit, all the captains will maintainmunication and would help each other with their units at all times".


    "For example, units from the Audun and Godoka tribes will be our main protectors since they have the most Pugilists, everyone else will support them".


    "Units with more Elementalists will stay at the back while units with more Summoners will stay at the middle and would be our anchor".


    "Since it is already evening, we''ll rest and continue our journey tomorrow morning, hopefully to make it on time and help the Freljord warriors".


    "Before entering Titan territory, we need to have a feel of fighting against Titans and tomorrow is our best shot at it".


    "That is more or less ourbat strategy but¡­" Captain Knock''s sharp ck eyes gleamed. "For the strategy to work, we need a unifiedmander".


    "¡­" A chill instantly descended on the atmosphere.


    Captain Knock instinctively flexed his muscles. "I am a Pugilist, a major inheritor of the Berserk Ape bloodline, killer of 21 Sand Worms, I am the undisputed best of my generation".


    "I think I am the best candidate to be the unifiedmander".


    "Absolutely not!" Captain Knock barely finished before a loud voice interrupted him, a pair of deep red eyes red at him without fear.


    With a simrly red hairplimenting his eyes, this powerful and unruly warrior stood up. "Knock is a simp, he''s not worthy to be the Commander".


    "I, Drog Celeste, a magic Pugilist, a major inheritor of the Wan Dragon bloodline, killer of 22 Sand Worms, I should be themander".


    "I am stronger and better than Knock, I am more qualified".


    "A pimp like you has nothing rted with better, you''re the worst".


    "You dare!"


    "I dare!"


    2 extremely powerful Pugilist auras enveloped this temporary hideout as ck and red collided. Tension grew high, it seemed like a fight would start any moment as the other warriors started keeping their distance.


    The tension grew right until a calm voice interjected.


    "Ok, Knock, Drog, let''s not embarrass ourselves before our subordinates right, don''t you think?"


    "Aegon".


    Captain Aegon calmly looked back at them. "n head Kohama predicted something like this and told me to handle it so here I am".


    "We''ll settle it the warrior''s way, through battle till one of you submits".


    "Do you both agree?"


    "Yes!" Gron said with gritted teeth as he red at Knock.


    Knock smirked. "We drew all 6 of our previous duels, who says you won''t lose this time?" He turned to face Aegon. "Ok".


    "So be it".

 Chapter 108 Vanguard Mission [3]

    "Holy sh*t, that was badass from captain". Amak said in awe.


    The others in the Audun protector unit did not reply him as they looked at their captain who at this moment seemed so different to them, the authority exerted by Aegon just a moment ago was something they were not used to.


    They wondered if this was the same captain that they knew.


    "The rules are simple, it''s a fully hand to handbat contest, no killing, just try your best to force your opponent into submission".


    Both Grade D Pugilists listened as they red at each other.


    "Start!"


    Once they heard the word that they were anticipating, without a moment of hesitation, they exploded with speed towards each other.


    Boom!


    Their speed broke the sound barrier as the sound of their fists rapidly punching towards each other reverberated, they collided in a tight affair.


    With their perfect hand to handbat technique, their punch packed a lot of power and venom with it as soon as both fists collided.


    With a loud sound, the recoil pushed both of them back.


    Their Pugilist energy red as even withoutpletely recovering their bnce, they exploded with speed towards each other again.


    Their Pugilist energy exploded as a frenzied melee battle began.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Since they were both pure Pugilists, only their fists did the talking and they were evenly matched as they started inflicting injuries to each other.


    If Drog broke Knock''s nose, Knock broke his teeth. If Knock broke one of his ribs, Drog broke 2 of his opponent''s ribs in this tight and exciting battle.


    All the spectating warriors were entertained as they cheered loudly.


    Most of them didn''t support any side, they just enjoyed the excitement.


    In this short battle, the incredible pros of the Berserk Ape and Wan Dragon bloodlines were showcased. Both bloodlines gave incredible benefits in terms of strength and endurance, increasing it to ridiculous levels.


    Despite this, both had distinct differences.


    The Berserk Ape bloodline gave more emphasis to strength boost while the Wan Dragon bloodline gave more emphasis to endurance and defense.


    Both warriors fought until they could not fight again, their mouths did the remaining of the fighting as their bodies became too washed too move.


    "I''ll kill you bastard!"


    "You too moron!"


    "Imbecile!"


    "Airhead!"


    "¡­" Knock was stunned by this as hepletely lost it. "You dare?! You dare call me airhead?!"


    Aegon tried to look at this scene with a neutral expression on his face but he could not, his eyes twitched furiously. ''Knock''s still so riled up when he''s called airhead yet his mouth never ceases to curse others, sigh''.


    The next moment, he stood forward. "The match ended in a draw which means that none of your ims of being the best stands".


    "I''m the best candidate to be themander¡­!"


    Aegon red at Drog, silencing him. "Since both of you are too useless to win, I know exactly what to do, let the champions of your tribese out".


    "¡­" All the warriors present were stunned.


    Across every generation of the Drago Celeste and Kong tribe, there is a born warrior who fully inherits the bloodline of the first ancestors of their tribes.


    The champions of thest generations were Kohama of the Kong tribe and Draconion of the Drago Celeste tribe, the champions of this generation were Knock''s younger brother, Kamnak, and the orphan, Din.


    On this suggestion, Drog was overjoyed. "Yes, I concur".


    During the past 3 times that they dwelled, the gloomy and silent 18-year-old Din always won against the 22-year-old Kamnak.


    Surprisingly, Knock agreed without a fuss. "I concur".


    Once both youngsters stood beside each other with their red and ck hair contrasting each other, Aegon gave the go ahead. "Begin!"


    Boom!


    Unlike the previous 2, both were still Grade E Pugilists but they were extremely strong for their grade. They shed like a sh between 2 mammoths.


    This battle was just like a repeat of the previous battle, just with lesser intensity and also, Din had a bit of an advantage over his opponent.


    Din despite being an orphan learned to hone his instincts and battle sense to an extremely high level. Seemingly like he was anticipating his opponents moves, he reacted ahead of him,boing him multiple times.


    The humiliation got strong amid the cheers from the other warriors until Kamnak could no longer take it. "Berserk Ape: Release!"


    As soon as Kamnak yelled, his body seemed to turn briefly intangible.


    Then from his body jumped out an intangible ape that was as tall as him. As soon as the ape came out, Kamnak turned tangible again and the ape came to life.


    All the spectating warriors were shocked. "He already learned the release".


    Din''s eyes widened as he was also shocked but his opponent showed no mercy. Kamnak pounced on him with his Berserk Ape in tow.


    Din stood his ground, trying to stay brave but being brave did not mean much before absolute strength. The ape''s powerful arms mmed him to the ground.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    3 ms with its powerful arms and Din was a bloodymb.


    Kamnak stopped the Berserk Ape before grabbing his opponent by the neck, he pulled him out of the depression on the ground and red at him.


    "Yield".


    "Never!"


    Bam!


    Kamnak was ruthless as he punched him on the face multiple times before demanding again. "Yield".


    Din spit on his opponent''s face as all the cheers calmed down. "Never".


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Aegon watched with an indifferent look on his face as Kamnak pummeled Din into a bloody mess. Drog watched his tribesmen get pummeled on his behalf but he could do nothing, to the desert tribes, rules were rules.


    The rules were for the battle to end only when one side submits.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Kamnak pummeled Din until the valiant 18-year-old fainted in a pool of his own blood. By now, the hideout was as quiet as a graveyard.


    "Take him". Aegon finally spoke indifferently.


    "Let a proficient Water Elementalist work on healing him".


    "With this victory, we now have the unifiedmander of our squad".


    "The unifiedmander of the Vanguard Squad is Knock".


    "Commander Knock!" All the warriors acknowledged him.


    Drog clenched his fists till they bled.

 Chapter 109 Battle Against The Titans; Freljords Last Stand [1]

    Like most mornings in the Great Desert, the golden rays of the sun were the weing present from nature as its rays embraced the golden desert.


    That morning though, the Freljords woke before the sun.


    Just like all the other tribes, the settlement of the Freljord tribe was more or less made in the same way. At this moment, from the elder''s pyramid, the elders gave theirst orders to themanders.


    "Fran, Frey, Fraud, this is ourst stand".


    "We already evacuated most of our civilians to the outskirts of the settlement, yet they are still under the threat of the titans".


    "Until they are safely in our ancient shelters, we cannot rest".


    "You 3 are the best warriors of the current generation".


    "All the warriors are already under yourmand, today is the day to prove your mettle to your tribe and your ancestors".


    "Please, don''t fail us".


    Fran, the leaner of the 3 brown-haired middle-aged men acknowledged the orders but not after asking. "What about you, elders?"


    "You will be joining the civilians to evacuate right?"


    The oldest man of the bunchughed. "I may be old but I still have some fiery dust still burning in my veins". He grabbed his Elementalist staff. "At least, for onest time, I want to show my power to the world and burn brightly".


    "If ites to it, I and the other elders will join the fight".


    "Even if it will be myst chance to burn brightly, I''ll appreciate it".


    Without saying a word, the 3 lean brown-haired Commanders bowed to acknowledge the orders before marching out with stern expression on their faces.


    On going out, they met a settlement that was already as silent as a graveyard. With most of the civilians already evacuated to the outskirts of the settlement, only warriors were left and at this moment they were silent and alert.


    After yesterday and the day before that''s sh against the Titans, they lost a lot of warriors but they were able to learn a lot about the Titans.


    Most of the warriors were hidden under the sand, others simplyy in different depressions on the front of the settlement that were made during the previous battles. Once the 3 Commanders came, without a word, they waited.


    They already discussed the strategy ahead of time so they simply waited.


    They waited for 25 minutes as the sun grew hotter by the minute, this was when they finally started hearing it.


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    The ground shook like an earthquake as the Titans started marching out.


    From afar, the warriors saw them. They were not rotten zombies, they were still giant intact humanoid monsters. The ancient texts recorded that Titans don''t decay, the reanimated Titans supported this theory.


    Mostly standing as tall as 4 to 6 meters, they towered above the humans. These were the civilian reanimated Titans, they don''t sprint, they could only walk.


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    The sounds of theirrge feet stomping on the ground sent chills down the warriors'' spines, this was when Fran finally spoke.


    "Don''t fear warriors, our enemies are now before us again".


    "They came and attacked us unprepared on the first day and we lost".


    "They intend to annihte us, they intend to kill our wives and children, they intend to turn out settlement into a ruin, will you allow that?"


    "NO!!!" The warriors roared.


    "We will not allow it!" Fran also roared.


    "We now understand them, we are no longer scared of them".


    "For our families, for our home, let''s go out there and kill these bastard titans! Let''s show them what Freljords are made of!"


    "All warriors, after me!"


    Fran led the charge out to the titans as with his Elementalist staff tightly in his grasp, fire sprouted from his legs through which he levitated into the skies.


    "Kill the titans!"


    He attacked first as soon as he swung his Elementalist staff.


    3 fireballs appeared in the sky and under his incredible control, he divided them into fiery spears that he sent at the Titans.


    The massive Titans smacked with their huge hands at the fiery spears, destroying some but the remaining all dug into their huge heads.


    A ck liquid in the ce of blood erupted from their burst heads as the crystal shattered into pieces.


    Fran killed 3 civilian Titans at the same time with one attack.


    His warriors were motivated. "Kill!"


    With the 3 Commanders leading the formation, the brown-haired warriors of the Freljord tribe who were mostly Elementalists rushed at the undead Titans.


    Fire Elementalists hauled fiery attacks at the Titans'' heads while earth Elementalists controlled the sand, turning them into deadly weapons which they hauled at the Titans to devastating effect.


    For the first few minutes, they managed to kill over a dozen civilian Titans without suffering a casualty until the Titans finally closed the distance.


    Like every other Elementalists, the major weakness of the Freljord tribe warriors was closebat. Once the Titan closed the distance, they attacked.


    Despite training specially for this already, some of the low-grade Elementalists were unable to react on time to the Titan attacks.


    They were smacked to death and feasted on by the brainless Titans.


    Despite the deaths, with Fran, Frey, and Fraud leading the charge, the warriors of the Freljord tribe remained motivated. They would rather fight to their deaths than see their wives and children die due to their ipetence.


    "Kill the Titans!"


    "Protect the settlement!"


    Having learned from their previous losses, the Freljords were wiser this time.


    Apart from their personal strength, they set traps ahead of time. As the Titans made them slowly retreat, they set off the traps.


    Chaotic mana bombs erupted as soon as the Titans crossed a certain point into the settlement, iming a lot of Titan lives.


    The few Pugilist Freljord tribesmen who were previously hidden also came out now as they threw their powerful spears at the Titan''s heads.


    Unable to dodge, the powerful throwing force of the Pugilists enabled the spears to tear their brain open, destroying their crystals in the process.


    For 2 hours, the Freljord tribe stood their ground, holding the Titans off from invading their settlement for the first time since they shed.


    They killed a lot of Titans while suffering minimal casualties but this onlysted for another hour until a Warrior Titan finally showed up.


    This Titan unlike the others was a warrior in its lifetime. Apart from standing at 10 meters tall, it had armor, a helmet, and a weapon, a double-ded sword.


    "Roar!!!"


    The Warrior Titan roared as it bulldozed through the human ranks.


    With its double-ded sword, it exploded with speed as it swiped left and right, harvesting the human''s lives like it was mere rice. Its stomp induced a mini-earthquake and its speed was too fast for the humans to keep up with.


    The momentum of the humans was disrupted instantly.


    Singlehandedly, it charged all the way through into the settlement but as soon as it invaded, it fell into a finely prepared trap by themanders.


    Having suffered against this Warrior Titan yesterday, Fran, Frey, Fraud, and the elders put a lot of thoughts into bringing it down.


    As soon as it invaded through the weakest spot into the settlement, it fell into a massive quagmire that was already made by the dozens of earth Elementalists. It struggled but it could not break free immediately.


    On Fraud''s orders, Chaotic Mana bombs were thrown at the Titan as they all exploded. When the explosion died down, it was still alive.


    It was badly scorched but it was still alive.


    Shockingly, unlike the other brainless Titans, the Warrior Titan was intelligent enough to protect its head with its sword.


    "Attack!" Fran roared as he jumped into battle with haste.


    The Warrior Titan was severely injured and blinded but it was still dangerous. Fran led the attack to personally bring it down.


    Dozens of warriors joined him including the remaining 2 Commanders as they gave their all to fight the Titan. 10 minutester, it finally died after a sacrifice of 15 brave Freljord warriors.


    They suffered but to Fran, it was all worth it. Killing the Warrior Titan was much more valuable than killing 10 Civilian Titans.


    He barely finished rejoicing before louder thuds reverberated in the battlefield. On looking ahead, he saw 2 other Warrior Titans running from deep inside the desert where the Titans slept in the night.


    Fran was shocked. "More Warrior Titans?!"


    He recovered the next moment though. "Attack!"

 Chapter 110 Battle Against The Titans; Freljords Last Stand [2]

    Commander Knock led the vanguard squad out the next morning.


    Since their location was no longer far from Freljord territory, they noticed the tremors as soon as the Titans started marching towards the Freljord settlement.


    Protecting the Freljord tribe from annihtion was one of the main missions of the Vanguard squad apart from their other original main mission.


    As a squad consisting of the best 20 warriors from each of the 8 major tribes of the Great Desert, making it 160 warriors, it was a great force.


    The Vanguard Squad arrived to meet a great battle.


    Boom! Boom!


    The Freljord tribe warriors were already giving their all to hold theirst stand against the Titans to buy enough time for their tribesmen to evacuate.


    Commander Knock and Drog may have fought the previous day over the position of the Commander but there was no doubt that they were both one of the best warriors in the vanguard squad.


    Once Knock was chosen as themander, all the warriors acknowledged him, including Drog who once antagonized him, they would listen to his orders.


    On arriving, the first thing that they noticed was the Warrior Titans.


    At this moment, there were 3 Warrior Titans already rampaging through the territory of the Freljord tribe, casualties filled the ground in a pool of their blood.


    Commander Knock reacted fast. "Our main targets are those 3 Titans in armor, we need to kill them fast".


    "The Jabari tribe unit, the Audun tribe unit, and the Drago Celeste unit will be following me alongside the Kong unit to kill those 3 Titans".


    "Every other unit, cooperate to annihte the other Titans".


    "Yes, Commander!"


    Knock unsheathed his sword and led the attack on the Titans.


    Behind Aegon, his unit captain, Altan sprinted with his war sickle tightly in his grasp as they charged towards the 3 Warrior Titans.


    On seeing them from afar, morale among the Freljord warriors rose.


    "Reinforcement is here brothers!"


    "Don''t despair, we shall annihte the Titans!"


    Even as they sprinted towards the 3 powerful Titans that seemed unstoppable, Knock was attentive as he carefully observed them.


    Before they got close, he arrived at a tactic to bring all 3 of them down.


    "All rangers, focus on restricting their movements".


    "All protector Pugilists, don''t focus on their head, just focus on dealing lethal damage to incapacitate mostly its legs".


    "Leave the heads to the Elementalists".


    "Only Elementalists who have mastered the Intermediate Fire Control knowledge and Intermediate Fire Emission ss knowledge should follow Shogun''s lead, put emphasis on creating fiery spears".


    All the warriors unconditionally obeyed the orders of their Commander.


    Alongside the other Pugilists, Altan charged behind Aegon, Drog, and Knock as they soon closed the distance and shed against the 3 Titans.


    Pugilists were fiercebatants, that was the only thing that they were good at and in this battlefield led by Knock, they showcased their specialty.


    They could not deal AOE damage like the Elementalists but against the Titans, Pugilists who could concentrate all of their power on a single attack were the perfect opponents to defeat them.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The sounds reverberated like exploding dominoes.


    Of course, the Warrior Titans retaliated but they were now fighting against the cream of the top among all the warriors of the 8 major tribes.


    In battle, these fierce desertmen were unstoppable.


    In no time, one of the Warrior Titans was crippled as it''s left leg caved in after being smashed by one of Knock''s signature power fist smash.


    Instantly after the Warrior Titan wobbled, the Elementalists jumped in.


    "Elementalist Ability: Fireball Hail!"


    "Elementalist Skill: Fiery Spears!"


    Shogun of the Shagaai tribe led the charge of the Elementalists.


    With his long white hair waving in the dry wind, his Elementalist staff moved, leaving afterimages as the specialty of the greatest fire experts of the major tribes was shown, the Warrior Titan was scorched.


    Like before, it protected its brain but the Elementalists were not alone.


    By concentrating their Pugilist energy in their eyes, Aegon, Drog, and Knock were able to see through the fiery explosion that the Warrior Titan was still alive.


    Like the first Warrior Titan, it protected its head with its weapon.


    These 3 Pugilists were not having it though as their Pugilist energy exploded. Blue, red, and green Pugilist energy exploded at 3 different parts around the injured Warrior Titan as the 3 colors scaled the huge Titan.


    Empowering their legs with their Pugilist energy granted 3 of them such speed that they arrived before the Titan''s head in just a second.


    Once they got to its head, the rest was history.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    They smashed the Titan''s head till the crystal cracked and exploded, the Warrior Titan shrieked onest time before falling dead.


    Without any pause in their rhythm, without celebrating, instantly after the first Warrior Titan died, they changed targets to the 2nd and 3rd Warrior Titan.


    "Roar!!!"


    The Titans roared but they were only making noise.


    They could only dy the inevitable for a few minutes but the oue was the same, no warrior of the Vanguard Squad died as all 3 Warrior Titans were brought down within the time frame of 40 minutes.


    With the Warrior Titans down, the battle became easier.


    Charging towards the remaining Civilian Titans, the Vanguard Squad proved why they were chosen as they ughtered the Civilian Titans.


    For 6 hours, it seemed like the Titans would not seize invading as they kept oning even as they were ughtered but on the 7th hour, everything stopped.


    For the first time since the threat of the Titans reached the first major tribe settlement, a victory was won against the Titans.


    The remaining Titans escaped, running back into the ancient ruins.


    They won the battle, but they could not celebrate. Hundreds of brave warriors of the Freljord tribe were sacrificed to get this victory.


    The 3 Commanders of the Freljord tribe went to thank the Commander of the Vanguard Squad before taking him to their elder''s pyramid.


    "Thank you, young Commander". The elders expressed their gratitude.


    Knock acknowledged it before asking. "What will you do? From the just concluded battle, I have a hunch that the Titans are yet to show all their cards".


    "We know that too". The oldest elder sighed. "Our tribe head went to negotiate with the Drago Celeste tribe, we just got news from him".


    "For the short term, the Drago Celeste tribe agrees to amodate our civilians". The elder sighed. "We can''t fight the Titans alone".


    The elder looked at Knock. "What of you, young Commander?"


    "Our mission is barely starting, we intend to enter deep into Titan territory".


    "Oh, ok". The elder stood up the next moment before bringing a book. "This is aption of everything that we learned about the Titans during the past 2 days of battle and weeks of information gathering by our rangers".


    Knock took the book and took a nce at the title. "Thank you elder, this book will help us in our mission a lot".


    "No need to thank me". The elder smiled. "It''s the Titans you''re fighting after all, good luck young Commander".


    "You too old man".


    Knock stood up and left to n with his warriors.

 Chapter 111 Entering The Great Desert

    You have activated active ability: Beast Tamer


    ----


    "Shhh¡­, watch and learn". Legs smiled at his student.


    After struggling for a bit, the enormous Python slowly calmed down as Legs''s hand remained on its head. After listening to a lot of his stories, Christensen finally asked for a demonstration on taming a beast.


    On discovering a random massive Python on the woods, Legs decided that this was the perfect target and he went to tame the Python.


    From the eyes of the Python, it was still angry and was struggling but Legs''s enormous soul power pressed against its own, suppressing it.


    This continued for a few seconds.


    "It''ll be done soon". Legs smiled at his student. "I think in 3¡­, 2¡­"


    "Roar?" Predator roared inquisitively as he looked at kiddo''s chocte-stained mouth curiously.


    On noticing the Nightmare Beast''s stare at the residual chocte on its mouth, Kiddo''s hair stood on end. "Roar?!"


    "Roar!" Predator went closer, spooking kiddo.


    The Chefron was quick as he controlled his mana impably to form human speech. "Legs! Predator is stealing!"


    "¡­"


    "Legs!!!"


    "¡­" Legs sweat bullets as his concentration wavered.


    The next moment, what he was doing was disrupted by the 2 bickering beasts, he turned with an irritated look on his face. "You 2 f*cking¡­"


    ? "Hisss!"


    Legs paused and turned just in time to see the rage-filled eyes of the Python that were now ring at him with no intention other than to kill.


    Whoosh!


    Legs dodged just in time to save his life from the Python''s lunge.


    He was grieved. "F*ck you Kiddo!"


    "F*ck you Predator!"


    "This is all you 2 motherf*cker''s faults!"


    It took Kiddo''s intervention before he was able to sessfully escape from the Python that was out for vengeance.


    "Phew¡­" Legs heaved a sigh of relief.


    Without hesitation, they continued their journey.


    ¡­


    Kiddo left a long trail of dust in his wake as he sprinted.


    For the past 2 days, they traveled. Of course, Christensen and Legs always had one urge or the other to stop during the journey to do different silly things like Christensen''s sudden pleading for Legs to demonstrate taming a beast.


    Sometimes, it was their own urge, sometimes it was the urge of their beasts.


    Despite all the dys and distractions, after 2 days of traveling, the massive Chefron finally seeded in taking them to their destination.


    Kiddo stopped just before stepping into the gold sand, it threw its passengers off its back before turning to look at Legs with puppy eyes.


    Legs palmed his face. "Ugh¡­, your obsession over chocte is legendary".


    He fulfilled the Chefron''s wish though as he brought another lollipop chocte from his storage ring that he prepared ahead of time and threw it.


    Crunch!


    Chefron jumped and devoured the lollipop chocte in the air.


    "So, another lollipop chocte to take us deeper?"


    "Roar!" Kiddo roared as he ran around Legs in circles.


    He wanted another lollipop chocte but he had no intentions of going deeper into the desert, Chefrons hated heat and deserts.


    Though Legs already knew this, he still wanted to try his luck if kiddo''s love for chocte could ovee his fear of heat and deserts.


    Unfortunately for him though, the Chefron knew exactly what it loved and hated, it would notpromise one for the other.


    Kiddo rubbed its fur against him but Legs was not having it.


    "Take me inside or no lollipop chocte for you".


    "Roar!"


    Kiddo ran around him in circles again.


    While the Chefron and Legs bickered about the lollipop chocte, Christensen walked to the edge of the desert as Leo and Predator apanied him. Predator sniffed the desert sand before jumping away.


    Christensenughed. "It''s not harmful, it''s just normal sand".


    "Roar!" Predator roared doubtfully as he went closer to sniff again.


    Of all the beasts though, the one who was most terrified of the desert was Leo. Though Christensen already described the desert for it during the journey, seeing the real thing was more terrifying than stories.


    As a Frost Wolf who loved cold and snow, a desert was thest ce that a Frost Wolf like Leo wanted to go to. He looked at the desert then at his master, then he whimpered.


    Christensenughed and rubbed Leo''s head. "It''ll be fine".


    Crunch!


    In the end, Legs could not resist kiddo''s cute act as he gave him the 2nd lollipop chocte. He cursed before looking at kiddo suspiciously. "Before I forget, who''s been teaching you how to act cute these days?"


    Kiddo looked at him cluelessly as it blinked its eyes the next moment.


    "Don''t even y dumb with me, it''s Lucky that''s teaching you right?"


    Kiddo blinked again innocently.


    "Ugh, never mind, it just doesn''t fit you".


    Kiddo blinked again.


    "That''s excessive blinking". Legsughed and palmed his face.


    "Anyways, bye, since you''re too scared to follow me in, I guess this is where we separate speed boy".


    Kiddo looked at him with puppy eyes again before rubbing its huge mane against him. The next moment, Legs''s virtual interface lit up a notification.


    -----


    Your favorability with Kiddo has increased by +50


    Total Favorability: 130


    Your favorability with Kiddo has increased to Friends Status


    ----


    ''Damn, is he really missing me already?'' Legs was stunned.


    At first, going after kiddo was just for his greed to get its breast milk to perfect his Ultimate Man Potion form. He never expected the effects of giving kiddo lollipop chocte to be so OP though.


    Through the lollipop chocte luring, Kiddo stayed with him for such a long time helping him as their rtionship grew.


    Now, their favorability already increased to friends.


    Legs rubbed its head. "I''ll miss you too kiddo".


    "Stay safe, I''ll meet you sometime again when I finish business in the desert".


    "Go on!"


    Kiddo was reluctant at first but after being urged repeatedly by Legs, the Chefron finally turned around and sprinted away.


    Kiddo was off back to the Blue Sea where its freedom was.


    "Now, let''s go!" Legs turned to face his student and his beast.


    Christensen brought out a paper. "This is the map that Altan gave to us, ording to it, we''ll first arrive at a desert vige called Conor".


    ¡­


    Conor was the vige closest to human civilization outside the desert.


    It was not too developed but being the closest to the world outside the desert, they had some specialties exclusive to the outside world that others deeper in the desert didn''t have.


    Legs and Christensen ate theirst familiar meal at a restaurant in this small settlement before making their way deeper into the desert.


    Like Altan said, most of the desert viges were friendly. Due to their small scale, they hardly had any warrior army, just enough warriors to help the vige fend off animal attacks and to hunt and provide for the vige.


    Apart from the friendly viges though, the major tribes were the real problem. Unlike the viges, the major tribes had more rules and restrictions.


    To avoid any unnecessary troubles, like advised by Altan, Legs and Christensen avoided the first 2 major tribe settlements that they encountered.


    After moving through the desert for 6 hours, they finally arrived at the territory that they were looking for, the settlement of the Audun tribe.

 Chapter 112 The Blood Token

    Activities went on in the Audun tribe territory.


    "More protectors, to the wall!"


    "Our rangers just noticed signs of a Rattlesnake horde".


    "They also spotted 4 Sand Cats circling round our territory".


    From a far distance, Legs and his student watched the things that transpired inside the settlement. Though this was not Legs''s first time seeing a scene like this, this was Christensen''s 1st time.


    Though he also saw the settlements of the Jabari and Godoka tribes, he was not able to see them at closer-range like now.


    Till now, the efforts to build a wall to protect themselves against the Titans if they ever managed to invade this deep was still on.


    As they watched, they suddenly heard the loud voice of amander giving orders to his warriors as they got prepared for battle.


    From where they watched, they were able to see the beasts that were rapidly closing in on the tribe territory. From one side came the Rattlesnakes who were trying to hide their numbers and movements through the sand.


    As for the Sand Cats, they were not that cautious. They sent 4 of them forward while the others trailed from a distance behind the first 4.


    The Sand Cats were easily 500 cats strong.


    Christensen suddenly turned to face his master. "Are you thinking what I am thinking?"


    "What?"


    "Altan said once we arrive, we can go inside the settlement without being harmed. He said we should ask for him in the elder''s pyramid counter".


    "Since we''re here to help him anyways, why not help him now?"


    "At least, it would allow us show howpetent we are to him and it could probably also improve our trust on each other toplete the mission that was issued by His Excellency the Hermit".


    Legs looked ahead in deep thought. In his opinion, Christensen''s reasons for them to help wereckluster and without any real form.


    But he was still inclined to help. After all, the good guys didn''t need a reason to do good, he wanted to paint himself as the good guy to Altan.


    Despite seeing Altan already through the grey world, he did not know this desert man''s personality but he still wanted to present himself in the best light before him even if it was just to represent the Hermit properly.


    Unlike Sophia, a middle-aged man with a wife and a son was not as easy to fool and was why he wanted to leave a good first impression as much as possible.


    "Let''s do it!"


    "Ok".


    "We''ll sneak behind the cats and attack them from behind".


    ¡­

    You have activated active ability: Combat Master

    You have triggered passive ability: Marksman


    ----


    "Lead Leo and Predator to support me".


    As soon as he gave his student orders, Legs charged out from behind the sprinting Sand Cats as he aimed with his G-96 Pistols before pulling the trigger.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Blood blossomed like blooming flowers in spring.


    The stunned cats were unable to react for the first few seconds as the bullets cut through them like a hot knife through butter, downing over a dozen of them.


    The next moment though, they hissed and aggressively turned to face the enemy. Legs was not afraid and did not back down, everyone of the Sand Cats was a Grade F or Grade E beast, none had achieved the Grade D realm yet.


    With the bonuses from his summoner main ss and agent sub-ss, he was able to protect himself and fight while Christensen took care of the important job.


    "Roar!" Predator roared as he pounced on the beasts.


    In the desert, Leo''s frost powers were massively suppressed, the Frost Wolf did not use its frost powers as it used its natural strength to attack the cats.


    "Hiss!!!"


    The hissing sounds of the cats attracted the protectors of the Audun tribe as they soon noticed themotion.


    "Helpers!" On seeing the 2 fighting humans, they were surprised.


    They were surprised but they were not petrified from the surprise as they rushed out instantly. From the chaos in the cat camp already, they knew that this was the perfect moment to get rid of the Sand Cats.


    As soon as they joined the fray, a massacre began.


    Under Legs and the acting Audun captain''s leadership, over 60% of the Sand Cats were killed, forcing the others to escape miserably.


    Seeing what happened to their allies, the Rattlesnakes only lost 10% of their brothers before they lost the courage and turned to escape.


    Legs''s attack from the back made the battle a lot easier for the Audun warriors which was the main reason why they won without any casualties.


    "You guys experience attacks like this every day?"


    "Every few hours". The captain smiled. "My name is captain Aaron".


    "Oh, nice to meet you, I am Legs".


    "By the way, what''s up with the purple hair that all of you don?"


    Captain Aaron turned to look at Legs. "You''re not from around here right?"


    "Ahh, did I give myself up?" Legsughed.


    "Purple hair is a major trait of our Audun tribe".


    "Ohh¡­" Legs followed as he was led to meet the Tribe head of the Audun tribe, this was exactly what he wanted.


    Originally, meeting the leader of tribes like this was not supposed to be possible and so casual but this was the super world.


    In the super world, the leader of a tribe or organization was most times the strongest member of that said tribe or organization.


    The leaders had full belief in their strength and were not afraid to meet outsiders, the same could be said about Tribe head Aragast and was why he was so free to meeting the strangers that helped his warriors.


    After sitting down with his student and drinking the wine that he was offered, Tribe head Aragast spoke. "Thank you for your help Legs, your heroic act saved a lot of my warriors from dying".


    "I''m ttered my Lord, it''s just my duty".


    "So, what brings you to the desert?"


    "I was hired by one of your tribesmen to help against the Titans".


    The tribe head raised an eyebrow. "Hired by my tribesmen? Who?"


    "Barren Altan, killer of 2 Sand Worms".


    "Oh¡­" The tribe head was surprised. "Altan hired you?"


    From his tone, Legs easily deduced that he was skeptical. "Yes, he hired me and directed me toe find him here".


    "Altan already left on a mission a day ago, but by the way, what do you know about Titans?"


    "Not a lot, but I believe that I can help in returning them back to sleep".


    On hearing that Altan left on a mission, Legs was disappointed a bit. ''That means all my strength disy against the Sand Cats and Rattlesnakes was¡­, sigh''.


    Since the tribe head didn''t borate on the mission, it was his hint that it was confidential so he asked another thing. "Can I meet his family?"


    "Yes, of course".


    After drinking some more desert wine, Legs and his student left the elder''s pyramid to the part of the settlement where Altan''s house was.


    On arriving, he saw the small purple-haired boy which he guessed was Altan''s son and his wife. For a scenario like this, Altan already told him what to do.


    He went closer to where Altan''s wife sat, attracting her attention as he greeted with a smile before using his 2 index fingers to form a weird square shape, the recognition sign of the Hermit''s gathering.


    As soon as Jeldia saw the sign, she stood up before bowing respectfully. "Wee kind sir, I have been expecting you, pleasee inside".


    After receiving the mission, before leaving, Altan didn''t juste to see his son and wife, he also came to leave her with this little mission.


    "No need". Legs shook his head. "Your husband already left more than a day ago, he may be in danger, I need to meet up with him now".


    "O-ok". On hearing her husband being mentioned alongside danger, Jeldia stammered a bit in her reply before going inside the house.


    She returned with a small rectangle-shaped token.


    "This is a blood token locator". She gave it to Legs.


    "It is my husband''s. With it, you can track him".


    Legs thanked her and rubbed the little boy''s purple hair before giving the token to Christensen.


    "Got it". Christensen took the token.


    Christensen sniffed the token. "This way".

    [Unlock Progress: 36/70]


    ----


    On seeing the progress of the Scent Tracking skill that was exclusive to Christensen, Legs drooled as he imagined its amazing effects.


    Since the day that Christensen unlocked this skill, to increase his unlock progress rate, he encouraged Christensen to use them frequently.


    This way, he was able to learn the full extents of his 3 abilities. With the 3 abilities, Legs made a bold im, Christensen was the best tracker alive.


    Literally nothing could escape his student''s senses.


    Due to the much more frequent use of the Detective talent and the Scent Tracking ability, their progress was much faster than the Auditory Tracking ability.


    Legs could not wait to finally get his hands on one of them.


    After paying their respects to Altan''s family, Legs also paid his respects to the Tribe head of the Audun tribe before making his way outside with Christensen.


    He turned to face his student. "What''s the next step?"


    "I am yet to detect their tracks but through the blood token, I already have a whiff of his scent that can lead us to him".


    "The blood token works in a way where it shows us the urate tracks across the desert which they left in, following that path will probably be the longest route to catch up with them".


    "To take the fastest route, we need Brutus".


    "His nose is far more sensitive than mine".


    "Do everything you need, you''re the expert". Legs gave his consent.


    Christensen no longer wasted time as he activated the Beast ne Summoning active ability to summon Brutus from the beast ne.


    The Shadow Hound arrived with a frown and a bruise on his face.


    He looked indifferently at his master.


    "¡­"


    Christensen was stunned. "Ehm¡­, what happened?"


    "I fought with the Fox".


    "¡­" Legs died fromughter internally.


    "Cough¡­" He coughed as he tried his best to prevent himself from erupting intoughter.


    Christensen was confused. "Why will you fight with Lucky?"


    "Christensen, there''s no time".


    "Oh right, Brutus, we need your help to track someone".


    The Shadow Hound looked at him in disdain. "I thought you were always so proud of your tracking abilities, I never thought you''ll need my help one day".


    "Just stop whining and help me".


    "Find the fastest route for us and take us through it".


    The Shadow Hound snorted before walking closer to the blood token. As soon as it sniffed it, without saying a word, it turned and started running away.


    "¡­" Christensen was exasperated. "Won''t you even say something?"


    Heined but he also ran after his master who on top Predator was already sprinting after the Shadow Hound.


    Just 5 minutester, Christensen discovered their tracks with his own ability.


    "They passed here".


    ¡­


    2 hourster in the Great Desert¡­


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    ----


    "Predator, stay sharp, these guys are dangerous".


    Christensen was exasperated as he looked at the pack of Wild Coyotes that blocked their path. Through his own ability, he knew that they were closing the distance to their target but this route, this route was filled with danger.


    In 2 hours, this was their 5th encounter with a pack of beasts.


    Predator''s roar was able to intimidate the first pack that they met but the 2nd and 3rd beast packs, they had to fight their way through to escape.


    The 4th beast pack was a pack with only Grade E beasts, they escaped on seeing them but the 5th pack now, this was a Wild Coyote pack with 3 freaking Grade D Wild Coyotes who were battle veterans of the desert.


    "Brutus, are you deliberately leading us into danger?"


    "You demanded for the fastest route". Brutus replied his master coldly.


    "¡­"


    "Christensen, focus and fight, these beasts have no intention of letting us through without a fight".


    "Yes, master". Christensen pulled out his sword.


    In the desert, Leo was no longer the brave and unstoppable ice monster that he was, he was so weak that his usual intimidating aura was nowhere to be found.


    Predator was the main damage-dealing threat of this team.


    Suddenly shouldering the pressure of having such high expectations didn''t weigh Predator down though, it only left this enthusiastic fellow excited.


    "Roar!" Predator roared a warning at the Wild Coyotes.


    "Roar!"


    As soon as they dared roar back, this Nightmare Beast was angered.


    "ROAR!!!"


    Predator directly activated his Berserk Nightmare Beast Special Ability.


    Without any fear of their numbers, he charged directly at the Wild Coyotes as Legs jumped down from its back to avoid dying from his beast''s suicide run.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    With his increased strength, Predator shed alone against all 3 Wild Coyotes. While constantly releasing Dark Arrows that damaged the Coyotes, his main damage-dealing go-to weapons where still his ws and his teeth.


    Predator savagely attacked with his w barrage and lethal bite skills.


    His aggressiveness was a bane for the Wild Coyotes. Despite fighting 1 against 3, with minimal injuries, Predator managed to break one of the Wild Coyote''s legs while severely injuring another on the neck.


    Predator''s aggressive battle with the Grade D Wild Coyotes served as the perfect opportunity for Legs and Christensen to force their way through.


    With Brutus leashing from their strength, the Shadow Hound followed them as they fought their way through the Grade E Wild Coyotes.


    As soon as they escaped, Legs turned towards his beast.


    "Predator, we''ve escaped already,e, run!"


    "Roar!"


    "What do you mean you''re enjoying the battle? Let''s run".


    "Roar?!"


    "F*ck!" Legs was exasperated as his brain worked fast to think of an alternative. "There are even stronger opponents for you to fight where we''re going, do you want Leo to enjoy all the battles?"


    As soon as he heard Leo enjoying all the battles, Predator finally broke free from the injured Wild Coyotes as he charged towards his master.


    Legs sighed and mounted his beast as they escaped deeper into the desert. A few hourster, they encountered another beast pack.


    Predator ran the show again as he seeded in killing 2 of the Desert Snakes that attacked them, buying enough time for the others to escape.


    After more than 5 hours, they arrived before a massive ruin.


    "We''re close but he''s inside". Christensen said.


    Legs''s eyes narrowed. "This is the Ancient Titan ruin".


    Though he felt that he was not prepared yet, to preserve the dignity of the Hermit, Legs led Christensen into this cursednd.

 Chapter 114 Entering The Ancient Titan Ruins

    Before Legs and Christensen could step foot into the ruins, Brutus stopped them. "There are dangers ahead".


    Legs turned to face the Shadow Hound with a smile. "Thanks".


    "¡­" The Shadow Hound''s expression changed before turning cold again. "For what?"


    Legs maintained his smile. "For taking us through the fastest yet safest route to locate our friend".


    Unlike Christensen who was clueless the whole time, Legs knew a lot more about their destination. The memories were already fuzzy in his head, but he still remembered some details about the notorious undead Titans.


    In his previous life, Legs knew that after Clown pulled the trick of the undead Titans, few humans survived in the desert.


    They were all swept to oblivion by the unstoppable momentum of the undead Titans, all the major tribes were wiped off the face of Darvis.


    Since yers yed just a minor role when the undead Titan arc started, he didn''t know much but still, he came here alongside his buddies to farm for experience points here and knew that he was now in a battlefield.


    In his previous life, before getting to the Ancient Titan ruin, you had to bulldoze through an army of undead Titans that were ready to tear you apart.


    Though he knew that it was still not yet at the scale that he experienced in his previous life, the fact that they didn''t meet a single undead Titan along the way was testament to Brutus''s incredible talent and navigation abilities.


    "¡­"


    Listening to his master heap praise on Brutus who caused them so much trouble till now, this was what Christensen did not understand.


    "You''re f*cking thanking him? He literally led us to our deaths so many times, we would not have survived without Predator''s help".


    "He deserves no thanks". Christensen red at the Hound.


    Smack!


    "¡­" Christensen was shocked as he rubbed his head in pain while turning to look at his master with a look of grievance on his face.


    "Do you know where you are?" Legs gestured at the surroundings.


    "No¡­"


    Smack!


    Legs wacked Christensen on the head again.


    "You may have graduated from my official training, but since you remain my student, under me, learning never ends".


    "Lesson number #21".


    "But you''ve not taught me up to 20 lessons¡­"


    Smack!


    Legs ignored his student and continued. "Lesson number #21".


    He raised a hand. "When going on a mission, always research extensively about your destination and targets to avoid dying a fool''s death".


    He turned to face his student. "Did you do any research about the ruins or even the undead Titans that we would face in battle soon?"


    Christensen scratched his ears awkwardly. "No".


    Smack!


    "Lesson number #22, this territory that you''re seeing is called the Ancient Titan ruins". Legs looked at Christensen again. "Do you know any history of our, anything about the past?"


    "¡­" Christensen scratched his head.


    Smack!


    Legs continued nonchntly. "I read about our history recently".


    "From what I read, Darvis started as a that was inhabited by much more powerful races than humans".


    "Centuries ago, Darvis was recorded to have been inhabited by Trolls, Giants, the Titans, and the Ancient Founding Dragons".


    "Though it sounds sus, from the recordings, we descended from the Giants and became ves to all the other races that were superior to us".


    "Over the years, we learned and evolved until we annihted the ancient races and liberated ourselves from very". Legs coughed before waving, urging his student to ignore the details.


    "We were also recorded to have gotten the super knowledges from them".


    "What matters is that after the end of the reign of the ancient races, humans inhabited Darvis and the remains of the ancients were spread across various regions in the which became known as the ruins".


    "This certain ruin is the Ancient Titan Ruin".


    "Once a great Empire that ruled arge part of our, the Ancient Titans have an illustrious history and you are now stepping on it cluelessly".


    "History records that the Titans were annihted here".


    "Now, they have been woken up from their eternal rest by a psychopath".


    Thud! Thud!


    The ground vibrated the next moment as footsteps echoed from inside the ruin. Christensen was spooked as he looked inside only to be wacked again.


    Smack!


    "Lesson number #23, don''t ever be distracted in enemy territory".


    Smack!


    "Ahh, 2 ps, master, that''s unfair".


    Smack!


    "¡­"


    "Lesson number #24, always know your enemy before fighting him. Knowing your enemy gives you half the victory already, the rest depends on your skills".


    "Without knowing Kiddo, I would have never seeded in winning him over. Knowledge is even more important to those in our profession, summoners".


    "The Titans are undead after being woken up by the psychopaths".


    "Every part of their body is immortal, they are literal undead".


    "They have only one weakness, the crystal on their head".


    "When attacking, aim for the head, give them an attack to eat that would choke them and the crystal that powers them with undead energy".


    Thud! Thud!


    Christensen looked across the broken walls of the extinct Ancient Titan empire where he saw 3 gigantic humanoid creatures now matching their way.


    "I-is that the undead Titans?" He stammered.


    "They''reing closer".


    Smack!


    "Don''t ever get distracted".


    "¡­" Christensen swallowed his tears.


    Legs stopped his lecture at this moment as the 3 massive Titans finally came out of the ruin, the Ancient Titan ruin was a huge battlefield.


    It was a ruin consisting of the massive destroyed buildings and the destroyed ancient wall that were the only surviving relics of the Ancient Titan race.


    Over the years, the sand already took its toil on the relics, leaving them rusted and ancient as it should be.


    This battlefield was one of the headquarters of the Ancient Titan race, it was a city but now it was nothing but a bloody ruin lost in history.


    Filled with massive depressions, ckened sand, a foul smell of rot and undead energy, the Ancient Titan ruin was a battlefield filled with dark energy and undead energy, the perfect battle environment for Predator.


    Legs dipped his hands into his side to bring out his G-96 pistols.


    He turned to face his student. "We''ll be fighting our way in".


    "Remember, aim for the head".


    Bam! Bam!


    2 gunshots and the 2 eyes of the first unsuspecting undead Titan were destroyed, impairing its sight and giving Legs the prime opportunity to attack.


    "Predator, are you ready to rumble?"


    "Roar!"


    Legs grinned.

    A massive energy erupted with Legs at the center of it all.


    At 63% overall control level, he already felt invisible, at 89%, Legs felt so powerful that at this moment, he felt like a god.


    At this moment, Legs felt on top of the world.


    He threw the pistols up as his student expertly caught them.


    "Make good use of them, make sure you keep up with your beasts".

    Legs felt even more power flowing through his veins.


    "Roar!"


    He roared to vent the feeling of being so full of power as the next moment he exploded towards the 3 undead Titans with unstoppable speed.


    Having fused with Predator, he got his beast''s deadly fangs and ws.


    His speed was so fast at this moment that with his ws, he climbed the nearest titan and scaled its huge body. In less than a second, he arrived behind its head as with all the power in him, he attacked with his ws.


    Bam!


    The head of the massive Titan was literally ripped apart.


    The crystal shattered helplessly as all undead life left the eyes of this Titan, the other 2 Titans changed directions and charged towards him.


    Legs did not back down, he felt so full of power.


    He kicked the falling Titan andunched himself at the closest Titan of the remaining 2. Instead of using his ws this time, Legs clenched his fists tight as he went up face to face against the Titan before throwing a punch.


    -----


    You have triggered one-hit KO chance!


    ----


    The punch seemed to carry the essence of nature itself with it.


    BOOM!


    On collision, the face of the Titan rippled like it was just hit by a sledgehammer. Itsted only a second before bursting into a bloody mess.


    Alongside its crystal, it was destroyed.


    Legs did not stop as he dived at thest of the 3 Titans who rushed out. This time, with his ws again and the w barrage skill, he tore so fiercely at this Titan''s face that its face became unrecognizable from a sack of meat.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Lethal Bite


    ----


    A lethal bite to the head and this Titan lost its head and crystal.


    "Roar!" Legs flexed the energy flowing through his veins.


    "This feels so f*cking good!"

 Chapter 115 The Ancient City

    As soon as they jumped past the broken wall, they entered the ancient city.


    The Ancient Titans were huge humanoid creatures that towered far above men, their houses were not different as they all towered to the skies like skyscrapers, except they were mostly destroyed and were just ruins.


    Killing the 3 undead Titans was just the start though.


    As soon as Legsnded and looked ahead, he saw a dozen Titans already marching towards them from different parts of the ancient city ruin.


    The streets were dpidated but they still had their basic function as roads.


    "Master, they areing!"


    Christensen yelled as he pointed the pistols at them while mounting Leo in the case that they needed to escape.


    Legs looked onest time before turning to face Brutus.


    "Do you still have his scent?"


    "Yes".


    "Then lead us to him".


    Seeing so many Titans already when they just barely made it here, Legs dread the thought of the current state of the Emperor.


    He was not about to let a member of his gathering die so stupidly, he already went too deep already, there was no choice to withdraw any longer.


    "Lead us to him!" Legs ordered again.


    He turned to face Christensen. "Aim at their eyes and shoot urately".


    "Blind them and leave the killing to me".


    "Yes, master".


    "This way". Brutus led the way as he charged into the ruined ancient city.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: w Barrage


    ----


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    As soon as Christensen pulled the trigger at the undead Titans, still in his integrated state with Predator, Legs exploded with speed.


    His ws swiped faster than bullets as he tore holes into the bodies of the Titans, mostly their legs, weakening their stance which opened the window of opportunity for him to finish off their crystals.


    -----


    You have killed a Reanimated Titan: Grade E


    You have gained 5,400 Experience Points


    ----


    Most of the Titans were indicated by the virtual interface as Grade E powerhouses, but in battle, their effective strength was much higher.


    Though Legs could feel that their strength was not up to the Grade D realm yet, he felt like their strength was far above the Grade E realm still.


    And due to their colossal size, fighting against them was a pain in the ass.


    Legs charged ahead of Brutus as he cleared the path for the Shadow Hound, opening the way for him to keep on tracking the Emperor.


    In this ancient ruin, Predator became so powerful that Legs literally became unstoppable, he steamrolled through the Titans despite their size.


    Leo''s only job was to transport Christensen, while Christensen''s only job was to shoot at the Titan''s eyes in a bid to blind them to make the killing easier for his master. He was doing a good job at this.


    Having interacted with his master and his master''s master multiple times already, Brutus had a clear idea of their strength.


    He left all the fighting to them as he focused on tracking.


    Like he expected, he was not let down as all the Titans fell before he could get to their position. But his eyes turned grim though as time went on.


    As time went on, Brutus detected more of the foul smell that represented the Titans, more of them were charging in their direction.


    Christensen also detected it.


    "Master, more of them areing!" Christensen warned.


    Without reply, Brutus kept on charging through the streets while Legs kept up with him, until they finally were boxed into a cage.


    After the fall of the Ancient Titan Empire, thousands of Titans were buried in their home and now through some ritual, they all woke up.


    This was the home ground of the Titans, it was easy for them to corner intruders. From every direction, Titans came as they boxed them in.


    Legs did not give up. "Christensen, keep on shooting".


    "Brutus, keep on moving".


    For the first time, Brutus no longer obeyed Legs and his reason soon became known as a Titan towering about 10 meters tall and was different from the others arrived. This Titan was d with war gear, a Warrior Titan.

    ----


    "Holy sh*t!" Legs stopped in his tracks on seeing this guy''s status.


    His level showing question marks meant that this guy was far more higher-leveled than him. Health and mana points showing question marks meant that this cursed freak of nature had an unlimited reserve for both.


    Though he had not seen this Warrior Titan in action, the 3 active abilities sent his danger senses tingling, even the Titan''s weapon sent chills down his spine.


    ''Anything Valha rted spells danger!''


    "Retreat, hide!"


    Even before he could shout, Brutus, Leo, and his student already turned as they escaped back to where they came from.


    "¡­" Legs was stunned speechless.


    He dared not tarry though as he sprinted after them in pursuit.


    Thud!


    Just after he took a few steps, Legs heard the vibrating sound of a massive leg stomping on the ground. "Oh sh*t, we''re not gonna make it!"


    The Warrior Titan was about to use its Double-ded sh skill.


    Legs ditched escaping as his eyes rapidly scanned his surroundings. In this delicate moment of life and death, his brain processed information at an outrageous speed that was even faster than aputer.


    He saw the nearby destroyed building that seemed like a church, 6 others that seemed like normal homes, and another that seemed like a watchtower.


    ''A watchtower!'' Legs''s eyes widened in enlightenment.


    "This way! Follow me!"


    Without a second of hesitation, Christensen turned Leo as he sprinted after his master. Brutus was stunned but he dared not stay alone as he went after them.


    In just a few seconds, they rushed into the massive watchtower.


    Boom!


    Just in time for the Double-ded sh to arrive as it shook the tower.


    The watchtower could not withstand the powerful blow, it vibrated slightly before starting to crumble and copse.


    Legs barely escaped with his student and their beasts to the top of the watchtower when it started copsing, they despaired.


    Legs hit his head. "Think! Think!"


    "Think fast or we die!"


    While the watchtower crumbled, another idea came to his mind.


    Legs rushed to hold Brutus as he shook the Shadow Hound. "You have shadow powers right? Christensen told me you can use it to be invisible".


    The Shadow Hound coldly looked at him as he easily caught into his meaning, then he replied. "Yes, I can merge into the shadows and turn invisible but I can only do it perfectly for myself".


    "When including others, they won''t be able to fully turn invisible".


    "And the more people that I do it for, the less the effects".


    "Do it!" Legs yelled.


    Without another word, the Shadow Hound activated the ability.


    -----


    You have been affected by a shadow ability: Invisible Shadow


    Effects have been weakened significantly on you


    You have entered stealth

 Chapter 116 Brutus Masterpiece

    -----


    You have entered stealth


    >In the stealth state, your physical presence is merged with the shadows, making you seem hidden to the naked unperceptive eyes<


    ----


    Boom!


    The massive watchtower finally copsed.


    None of them died though, Legs and hispanions were all able to jump out of the sinking ship before it was submergedpletely.


    The sound of the watchtower''s copse overshadowed the sound of their fall, Legs scrambled to stand up as he looked at himself.


    At this moment, he no longer seemed to be in the real world and his body was slightly ethereal. It flickered between grey and ck like he was in an unstable dimension that his body was reacting to.


    Legs looked around and saw Christensen and Leo, but Brutus was nowhere to be found. Unlike them, the Shadow Hound turnedpletely invisible.


    The important thing at this moment though was the undead Titans.


    Roar!


    They roared and shrieked as they suddenly lost their targets.


    The Warrior Titan went to the rubble of the copsed watchtower as he flicked the debris and stones away with his massive Double-ded sword.


    The Titans could not see them, Legs was overjoyed. "This is¡­?"


    "The Shadow ne". Brutus'' voice reverberated.


    The next moment, the Shadow Hound made itself visible to them.


    "My ability works by dragging myself into the Shadow ne and allowing me to coexist in both worlds at the same time".


    "Since I have a shadow affinity, my coexistence is perfect".


    "You both do not have shadow affinity and is why yours is not perfect".


    "The darkness affinity is a close rtive of the shadow affinity, that is why yours after fusing with Predator is a little better than my master''s".


    "Haha". Legsughed as he heaved a sigh of relief. "So, we''re safe right?"


    "Yes, I think".


    "You think?" Legs turned to look at the Warrior Titan.


    Roar!


    The Warrior Titan roared as he could not find his targets in the rubble, the next moment, he ced his nose close to the debris and sniffed.


    Brutus''s eyes narrowed. "They can smell our scent? You never said that".


    "Master¡­"


    "Shhh¡­" Legs hushed his student.


    It didn''t work though, as soon as the Warrior Titan sniffed, he turned and looked straight at Christensen''s position.


    "His coexistence is most imperfect". Brutus said coldly.


    Thud! Thud!


    The undead Titan grinned as he marched towards Christensen, Christensen shook as he almost pissed his pants already while waiting for his master''s genius idea to save his ass once again.


    "Can he hear us?" Legs asked.


    "No, but I advise my master not to speak".


    "Just call him Chris". Legs stressed.


    "Yes, master''s master".


    "¡­"


    Legs ignored Brutus'' shenanigans. "I also didn''t know that they can follow our scents, don''t you have any way to block our scents?"


    "No, but I can change our scents". Brutus turned to look at Legs coldly. "First, you have to kill another Titan and let me get close to it".


    "Got it".


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Dark Arrow


    ----


    The Dark Arrow came out of nowhere, distracting all the Titans including the Warrior Titan from Legs''s true location.


    Christensen got Legs''s signal as he pulled the trigger. The G-96 pistols roared as bullets came out of its muzzle rapidly.


    The bullets and multiple dark arrows ended the Titan''s life.


    Brutus sprinted after Legs to the dead Titan''s side and without hesitation, Brutus ced a hand on the Titan and made his move.


    -----


    You have been affected by a shadow ability: Identity Merge


    >Identity Merge: When affected by this ability, your scent and tracking characteristics will be exchanged with that of the target<


    You have merged and exchanged identities with the Civilian Titan


    ----


    Roar!


    Having detected the scent of his prey and seeing this prey still having the guts to kill its brothers before it, the Warrior Titan lost it.


    He charged towards Christensen but just before he could make it to Christensen''s position, he lost the scent.


    Christensen moved just at the right moment on receiving the signal through his telepathic rtionship with Brutus as he jumped out of danger.


    Sweat poured down his face like a river as heid on the ground just beside the Warrior Titan who now looked for him everywhere cluelessly.


    "Let''s leave".


    Without hesitation, they sneaked away.


    ¡­


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Explosions raged as the Elementalists bombarded the area.


    Huge protective earthen walls were raised around them, fiery perimeters were also erected by the Elementalists as they fend off the Titans.


    The Summoners had no choice but to send their contracted beasts out to die since that was the only way to get a shot at survival.


    Commander Knock watched their dire situation from inside the protective earthen wall. After sacrificing so many Pugilists already, they already resigned to the truth that they simply stood no chance against so many Titans.


    4 Warrior Titans led this horde of Titans that attacked them.


    Since arriving in the Ancient Titan city, the Vanguard Squad have seen nothing but death. With no one as unique as Brutus to guide them, they encountered Titans every now and then and suffered bitter casualties.


    They learned the truth the hard way that the Titans could smell their scent after suffering dozens of casualties to the Titans.


    Less than half of the original Vanguard Squad was left alive.


    As the explosions raged outside, a lot of things went through Commander Knock''s head as he felt like he was at the center of Darvis all of a sudden.


    Drog patted him on the shoulders. "Knock, we need you".


    Knock felt embarrassed at his reaction at this moment but knowing that all their lives were at stake, he felt grateful. "Thanks man".


    He stood up and made his decision. "We won''t retreat".


    "Even if we retreat, we have no guarantee of arriving back safely to ry what we learned. This is why I say we give our all toplete the mission".


    "Instead of retreating, we should give our all and go deeper".


    "We are no longer far from the Titan pce, I believe that is where everything originated from. If we can get there, we can perhaps learn the truth".


    "Follow me and let''s fight ourst stand valiantly!"


    The warriors rallied around Commander Knock as they charged out of their protective earthen walls to meet the Warrior Titans who were waiting for them.


    "Attack!" Commander Knock roared.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Attacks raged, reverberating like exploding dominoes as they gave their all to carve an opening through the army of Titans that was before them.


    They killed Titans but they also started dying like chickens in Christmas.


    From afar, 2 strangers and their beasts watched this battle.


    Legs already saw the familiar purple-hair and located his member already, Altan the Emperor. Having seen the Emperor through the grey world already, he was able to recognize him.


    The only problem was, there were too many Titans.


    Legs thought and thought but could not arrive at any better solution, he turned to Brutus again. "I need¡­" He paused. "We need your help".


    "I can''t do it for them all". Brutus replied coldly. "I need external help".


    "How?"


    "My master has to augment me with his ability and¡­" Brutus turned to look straight at Legs. "You have to feed me with your blood and mana".


    Whoosh!


    Legs brought his dagger and cut his hand without hesitation.


    Brutus looked at him coldly. "Drip your blood on my back and infuse your mana, then give me some distance".


    Legs did as was ordered as Christensen used the basic beast energy augmentation summoner knowledge to augment Brutus''s strength.


    As soon as Legs''s blood touched Brutus, his blood started draining rapidly as Legs retreated while Brutus expanded like a balloon.


    The Shadow Hound gathered air in his mouth for 2 seconds before releasing it as this air swept outward like the outbreak of a gue in the air.


    All the humans in the vicinity were affected.


    Legs and Christensen were also affected again.


    -----


    You have been affected by a Shadow Ability: Invisible Shadow


    You have been affected by a Shadow Ability: Identity Merge


    ----


    Instantly, all the humans disappeared from the material world. Perhaps, due to the scale this time, they were not able to disappearpletely as they vaguely appeared like Specters in the material world.


    Legs charged out of his hiding as he waved at them.


    "Hey! Follow me to escape!"


    Commander Knock looked at the human that was just like a specter like them, he dared not hesitate as he ordered all his warriors to follow him.


    Legs led them all away to a hideout that he already found.


    The escape was not that easygoing, as specters, the Titans were still able to attack them. Though they were the cream of the crop of all 8 major tribes of the Great Desert, 5 of them died before they escaped.


    This figure was already an incredible one.


    All the others survived and escaped because of Brutus'' masterpiece.

 Chapter 117 Spartan Conviction

    -----


    You have been affected by a shadow ability: Shadow Cloak


    ----


    Legs was not the only one that was affected by this shadow ability, all the other warriors of the 8 major tribes were also affected and this kept them alive.


    At this moment, they all hid inside a huge dpidated tower.


    From the holes from battle that filled the tower, the superhuman warriors watched outside with dread to see what was going on.


    "They''re still roaming around the streets". They whispered.


    "But the Hound''s ability seems to be working".


    "They''ve not discovered our scent yet".


    Unlike the Identity Merge shadow skill, Brutus'' Shadow Cloak ability simply formed a camouge around the tower that changed their scents.


    The undead Titans that roamed around the streets were unable to detect them, even the Warrior Titans that patrolled asionally.


    160 elite warriors from the 8 major tribes were mobilized for this mission. At this moment, there were less than 70 superhuman warriors present.


    In just a few days since entering Titan territory, more than half of the elite warriors of the Vanguard Squad were annihted by the undead Titans.


    After sacrificing so much of his blood and mana to enable Brutus save these warriors, Legs was already drained as he sat down to rest and recover.


    With blood still on his face, Commander Knock finally turned to look at this stranger who saved them all. "On behalf of my squad, I thank you".


    "The 8 major tribes will never forget this favor".


    "I am Captain Knock, a warrior of the Kong tribe".


    "May I ask which tribe youe from?"


    -----


    You have recovered 50% of your mana points


    ----


    Legs finally raised his head to look at this warrior. "I am not a warrior of the desert, I came from far beyond to help someone".


    "Help someone?" Commander Knock and the others were surprised.


    This was when Legs turned to look at Altan before bringing the blood token. "I am here under his will".


    As soon as Altan saw the blood token, his eyes lit up in joy as he clenched his fists and stood up. He briefly made a gesture of worship towards the Hermit, this was a sin in his religion but he didn''t care at this moment.


    The Tree God didn''te to his help but the Hermit did.


    Altan walked towards Legs as he looked him in the eye. Through their eyes, Legs understood his question and answered. "The World".


    He turned to look at Christensen. "The Magician".


    "We''vee to help".


    Seeing the calm Altan who they thought they knew speaking in code words with these strangers who saved them, Arya and the other survivors were surprised.


    "Altan, what is going on?" Commander Knock finally asked as he could no longer keep silent to the awkward atmosphere.


    "I sought for their help". Altan turned and bowed before the Commander.


    "They will help us defeat the Titans".


    "¡­"


    Even Legs himself was petrified at such a bold im but he stopped himself from speaking, he could not stop his eyes from twitching though.


    "¡­" Commander Knock looked at Altan and the stranger in surprise.


    The next moment, he shook his head as his shoulders slumped slightly in defeat. "The mission already failed".


    "Look around, we already failed".


    Legs and Altan looked around at the other warriors.


    Looking at them, Legs only saw looks of defeat adorning their faces. Meeting Legs brought a false sense of hope in Altan, but seeing the defeated look on hisrades'' faces, Altan remembered the horror of the Titans.


    ''Amak, Arya, Anabel, Altan, Arnold, Argast, Ackermann, you are all to report to the elder''s pyramid with me''.


    He still remembered Captain Aegon''s voice when he recruited them like it was just yesterday. Of their protector team of 7, only 4 survived till now.


    Ackermann, Arya, Arnold, and Altan were the only survivors.


    Altan vividly remembered it when the Warrior Titan grabbed Amak and feasted on him. The look of horror on Amak''s face, the look of horror on his own face, he was not sure he would be able to forget it.


    Despite being a seasoned veteran warrior himself, going up against the undead Titans was an experience that no warrior should face.


    Thud!


    Altan slumped down also as his eyes drooped in defeat.


    On seeing this, Legs already knew what was happening. ''Not this please''. Heined but he also knew that he was the only one who could change it now.


    He turned to face Knock. "You''re the acting Commander?"


    "Yes".


    "Have youpleted your mission?"


    "No".


    "Do you have a n for you and your warriors to retreat to safety?"


    "¡­"


    "Do you?"


    "No".


    "Good, and you have the guts to look so forlorn".


    "You all are not cry babies for f*ck''s sake, you are warriors, warriors of the 8 major tribes of the Great Desert whom I''ve heard so much about".


    "Where is your conviction? Where is your belief?"


    "If you retreat now, none of you will make it, you''ll all die".


    "And let''s say you make it, then what? You''ve seen the power of the Titans, you want to give up and let the Titans feast on your wives and children the same way that they did to yourrades?"


    "Stop¡­" Commander Knock hit his head with his right fist.


    "You want to listen to the screams of your sons and daughters dying to the Titans because you were too cowardly to go on with your mission?"


    "Stop".


    "Where is your Spartan conviction?"


    "You want to watch your homes burn because you were too much of a coward to stand and fight¡­?"


    "Stop!" Commander Knock stood up as he red at Legs.


    Legs finally calmed down a bit as he raised his hands in surrender to indicate that he meant no harm, he continued in a calmer voice.


    "I don''t know much about the Titans, but this much I know".


    "You faced them without knowing much but here you are, with like half of your numbers still intact, this squad not being annihted yet is a miracle".


    "You know why you suffered so much? You didn''t know the Titans".


    "Now, you know them better and you have me".


    "I have a n to at least help us get to the truth of all this mystery".


    "What is your n?" Commander Knock asked.


    Legs''s rant already made all the warriors'' attention to be attracted, now they waited for him patiently to answer, his words already riled them up.


    "My n is simple".


    "Since we already know a lot more about the Titans, we should device a n on how to carry the fight to their pce and discover the truth".


    "The Ancient Titan pce is 15 kilometers from here to the south".


    "My student and his Shadow Hound with some helpers can scout ahead for us for Titans". Legs looked all the warriors in the eye. "I trust their ability, with them as the scouts, the Titans will not discover us".


    "¡­" Christensen''s face turned red as a sudden pressure was heaped on his shoulders, such trust from his master left him red-faced.


    "So long as we can discover the truth behind the reanimation of the dead Titans, your mission would have been more than half-wayplete already".


    This time, Legs was saying the truth. Darvis arc was so far behind his timeline that he already forgot a lot of things before his reincarnation back here, and that included most knowledge about the Titans and the Clown Society''s ns.


    He was also clueless about the mystery behind the Titans.


    "What of our retreat after discovering the truth?" Drog asked.


    Legs turned to look at him. "We''ll face that when the timees".

 Chapter 118 The Ancient Titan Palace

    "Arnold, Sansa, you''ll listen to me at all times". Christensen addressed the 2 Grade D warriors that were assigned to his team.


    "Do not talk and keep your ears peeled open, I or Brutus may whispermands at times, you need to be silent to be able to hear".


    "Also, learn these signs, it may be needed for me tomunicate with them since we are deep inside Titan territory you know".


    Christensen demonstrated some random signs that he made up during his ind training session with his master tomunicate with Leo.


    "Also, no side gossiping".


    "So noisy". Arnoldined with a sigh.


    "¡­" Christensen red at him without a word.


    "Arnold, Sansa, obey his orders, this mission is important to fulfilling our main mission and is also paramount to our survival".


    Seeing the attitude of his warriors, Commander Knock butted in.


    Once they were ready to set out, he blessed them. "May the peace and protection of the 8 Ancient gods follow you and guide your paths".


    These 2 warriors from the remaining warriors of the Vanguard Squad were selected to follow and support Christensen as the scouting squad.


    Not only were both of them rare Pugilists with shadow affinity, but they were Grade D superhuman experts, a perfect fit for Christensen''s squad.


    Once they were ready, Christensen gave the order and Brutus did the deed, changing their identity and scent with those of 2 dead Titans that were nearby.


    Unlike when Brutus used the Identity Merge on Legs, Sansa and Arnold resonated with the abilitypletely as they disappeared and coexisted between Darvis and the shadow ne perfectly.


    Their perfect coexistence seemed to affect Christensen like Brutus predicted as like them, Christensen also becamepletely invisible.


    Without hesitation, they sneaked out of the tower.


    Just before they went outside the tower, Christensen stopped them. "Another important fact to know between ourselves, our strengths and abilities".


    "To cooperate perfectly, we need to know each other".


    Christensen started first as an example by telling everything about himself. "I have a Frost Wolf who I already sent to the beast ne and Brutus, I can summon the Frost Wolf anytime".


    "Also, I have the agent subss".


    Sansa followed. "I am a Pugilist who specializes in closebat using 2 short daggers, Needle and Poke". She showed her 2 daggers. "Also, I have the archery subss, I''m good with my bow and arrow".


    "Thanks". Christensen patted her back before turning to face Arnold.


    "I am a Pugilist who specializes in¡­" Arnold paused. "Ugh¡­, I''m a sneaky Pugilist, that''s all. I am very sneaky and slippery, like a snake".


    "I hate head-on battles, they''re too noisy, I love sneaky ones instead".


    "Also, I have the stealth subss that allows me to walk silently like a ghost and to also hide my shadow".


    "Good". Christensen nodded.


    "Now, this is my n¡­"


    Having spent a lot of time listening to his master making ns all the time, Christensen already got a hang of it, now was the time to prove it.


    ¡­


    Thud! Thud!


    The Civilian Titans roamed aimlessly around the streets of the ruined city.


    Unknown to them, 3 humans and a Shadow Hound were sneaking right under their nose. After crossing 3 streets, Christensen and hispanions arrived before a street that waspletely blocked by the Civilian Titans.


    They could take the longer way around another street but they didn''t have the time for it, their invisible state constantly drained Brutus'' mana.


    They were on a time limit.


    Christensen turned to face Sansa. "Do it!"


    Without hesitation, she pulled her bow, aimed and shot.


    Whoosh!


    As soon as the arrow hit the head of one of the Civilian Titans, it detonated. The explosion killed 2 Titans and attracted even more of them.


    Roar!


    The spooked and angry Titans scattered in search of the intruder.


    Amid the chaos, they finally found the intruder, a single warrior d in brown desert clothes who was at the roof of a nearby building.


    Roar!


    They charged towards Arnold while making a lot of noise.


    "So noisy". Arnold frowned as he blocked his ears with makeshift earmuffs.


    In a fair battle, he stood no chance against these Civilian Titans but in a game of hide and seek, they were nowhere near his level.


    In the legendary game of hide and seek, Arnold believed that no one was near his level, he believed that he was the best.


    He jumped down from the building and the game started.


    While he attracted all the attention, toying with the Civilian Titans, Christensen and Sansa continued their journey to the Ancient Titan pce.


    Along the way, they encountered other obstacles but Christensen, Brutus, and Sansa were able to move through it all. After another 20 minutes of hiding and moving, Arnold regrouped with them and they finally arrived.


    They were now just a street away from the Ancient Titan pce.


    On getting here though, they felt the ground vibrating.


    The ground vibrating was not the only anomaly though, at the roof of a nearby building stood humans who seemed to be on guard duty.


    "The Clown Society!" Christensen whispered hatefully.


    The 5 guards on top the roof where supposed to be on guard duty but for some reason, they were distracted as they looked at the direction of the pce with fanatical looks in their eyes where the vibration came from.


    "What are they looking at?" Sansa asked.


    "We''ll have to get closer to find out".


    It put them at much more risk but they still did it.


    Sneaking even closer to the pce in their invisible state, they encountered more psychopaths of the Clown Society and more Warrior Titans.


    The danger was greater than ever before but Christensen''s curiosity pushed him to keep on moving closer as the vibration from the ground increased.


    This was when Brutus spoke. "My mana is recovering faster".


    "Huh? Not that you say it, I think I''m experiencing it too".


    "Not only that, I think my mana is more potent now. For some reason, I feel that my attacks will be far stronger than normal if used here".


    Their whispers almost alerted the Titans but they barely escaped. They did not move further though as they turned to look at Brutus who seemed to know something, the Shadow Hound''s eyes narrowed as he looked ahead.


    "I have only experienced this feeling once, when I went to the center of Darvis where the''s core is located".


    "Only a core can induce this effect".


    "But this is not where our''s core is located". Sansa argued.


    "Yes, I know, that is why I didn''t say it with a finality tone". Brutus snapped.


    While they argued through whispers, without their notice, Arnold already sneaked ahead. When Christensen noticed, he felt his heart leap out of his throat as he saw Arnold already at the other end of the street.


    Through a small hole in a building, Arnold peaked to the other side. His eyes widened as he finally saw the cause of the vibration.


    Almost immediately after he looked and saw it though, a pair of massive blue eyes turned to look at him. "You,e here".


    "¡­" Goosebumps filled his skin.

 Chapter 119 The Alien Creation

    "You,e here".


    "¡­"


    Arnold almost reacted instinctively but it took all his wits to stay still. Like a statue, he forced himself to staypletely still as he looked ahead.


    His heart was already on his throat as he expected anothere here to verify that he was busted, but what he heard next surprised him.


    Thud! Thud!


    From the nearby roof, 2 warriors in blue uniforms jumped down.


    As soon as theynded, they heeded the orders of the warrior who seemed to be their superior as they walked towards him.


    Their superior who was d in ck uniform addressed them.


    "Increase the security around the core machine".


    "Yes, ck Master Einstein".


    Arnold still stood as still as a rock as all this went on. The next moment, a hand touched his shoulder, almost making him to shout but another hand was quick to block his mouth.


    "Shhh¡­" Christensen whispered into his ear. "They''ve not found you yet".


    Arnold heaved a huge sigh of relief as he sat down carefully to recover himself. Christensen turned to face him. "What did you see?"


    "Look for yourself".


    Christensen and Sansa took turns to look at it.


    Christensen''s eyes widened in astonishment. "Is that¡­, a machine?"


    The ground vibrated as this powerful machine tore it open with force.


    It was like a drilling machine but much more gigantic. This 5-meter-tall machine had a drill that dug into the ground, and its drilling was what induced the vibration on the ground like an earthquake was imminent.


    Underneath it, just before where the drill dug into the ground was a rainbow glowing orb that Christensen could barely see through the hole.


    "What is a machine?" Sansa asked in horror as she looked.


    "They''re alien weapons, the Summoner Academy has one". Christensen turned to look at her. "My father once went to the academy headquarters, he told me about it, he described it to be exactly like this one".


    "Are alien real?"


    "¡­" Christensen was short of words to reply with.


    "It doesn''t matter, what matters is that we probably found what is powering the Titans back to life. If its alien weapon, it is possible¡­"


    Boom!


    Christensen barely finished before the wall of the house through which they peeked at the machine was smashed open by a massive fireball.


    A psychopath of the Clown Society dressed in red uniform, a Red Master led a group of 8 Blue Masters who were d in blue uniforms into the building.


    "Intruders!" The Red Master reported first through a weird metal device.


    "Contingency n B, shoot the signal!" Christensen roared as he mounted Leo and ordered him to be on the defensive.


    Arnold blended into the shadows as he hid while Sansa climbed the stairs up. The orders were given and they were executed so impably like they already simted the practice a hundred times over.


    The psychopaths tried to stop Sansa but Christensen was having none of it.


    "Roar!" Leo roared as he pounced on them.


    He may have lost his frost powers, but his basic strength was still there.


    Bam! Bam!


    Almost immediately after Christensen attacked, Arnold appeared out of the shadows as his fists punched 3 Blue Masters, obliterating the life out of them.


    The ground shook as Titans were already marching towards the building.


    Amid the sudden chaos, Sansa finally got to the roof of this building only to meet even more psychopaths waiting for her. She avoided instant death, giving herself the opportunity to aim at the sky with her bow and arrow.


    She released the detonator arrow which flew high into the skies.


    Once it flew above all the buildings, it detonated.


    Boom!


    ¡­


    Boom!


    Still inside the tower, as soon as they heard the sound of explosion, all the warriors of the Vanguard Squad sprang up as they looked at the explosion.


    Legs reacted fast as he mounted Predator. "They found it".


    He turned to face the other warriors. "It''s time".


    "Let''s go find out what brought these Titans back to life".


    "You heard him!" Commander Knock roared. "Let''s go fight brothers!"

    Legs charged out of the tower on top Predator.


    As soon as the explosion went off far away, all the Civilian Titans seemed to be rmed as they all started marching in that direction. This gave Legs and the desert tribe warriors the freedom to move as fast as possible.


    The summoners rode on their beasts, the Elementalists who could levitated in the sky, while the Pugilists showcased their powerful movement skills as they all exploded with speed towards the location of the explosion.


    Since they were not hiding while running, it took them only a few minutes before they arrived just in time to hear another sound of explosion.


    Boom!


    Christensen and Leo were flung away by the massive fireball that also scorched their skin, Arnold used the opportunity to sneak into the shadows again.


    As for Sansa, she was already bloodied all over fending off the psychopaths of the Clown Society that were on the roof.


    Unlike Christensen and the others, they didn''t have to hide behind a building to see. As soon as they arrived in the open, theyid their eyes on the massive machine that kept on drilling into the ground and sapping energy.

    You have entered a mana-filled region!


    All your attributes, skills, and abilities have improved by 50%!

    They finally saw the culprit that had a high chance of being the device that powered the undead Titans, the only problem was that it was well guarded.


    This was the pce of the Ancient Titan city after all.


    Legs observed through his virtual interface.

    ----


    This was the residing ck Master, a well-known one that Legs remembered, things were not looking bright.


    Legs held no candle up to this superhuman warrior, this was a warrior that outssed him in literally every area. Before this warrior, he was a ghost.


    The question marks in his mana points, health points, others and the virtual interface remark told Legs all that he needed about this superhuman warrior, this guy was an end game boss-level character.


    The Civilian Titans kept on charging towards them as the vicious Warrior Titans led the charge with theirrge strides that was extremely dangerous.


    "On me!" Commander Knock ordered as the 70+ survivors of his Vanguard Squad all gathered around him, forming a circr battle formation.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The Titans finally shed with them as a great collision of powers began. In just a few seconds though, the winning side showed, the Titans.


    Legs shifted closer to Commander Knock in the middle of the formation.


    "We can''t afford to stay in one ce and fight a defensive battle".


    "Then you have a better n to survive?" Commander Knock snapped.


    "Not yet, but we still need to deduce the truth behind the undead Titans".


    "Can''t you see it yet, it''s that big weapon".


    Legs turned as he pointed at the weapon. As soon as heid his eyes on the gigantic machine, some memories from his previous life came back to him.


    Legs was now curious to verify them by going in to see personally.


    "Even if it is the machine, we don''t know its mechanisms or how it works yet. We need to get as much information as possible to give your elders a better and easier chance at devising a n to send the Titans back to sleep".


    Legs looked Knock in the eye. "There''s no use in holding back anymore".


    "If we give our all, get to the bottom of the truth and escape with the truth, that will be the best oue of all".


    "The enemy is an extremely powerful Grade C Elementalist, we can''t seed with our current strength".


    "I know that your father gave you a trump card".


    "Use it now so that some of yourrades can survive".


    "How did you¡­?"


    "It doesn''t matter". Legs kept his gaze on this Commander''s eyes.


    Commander Knock took a deep breath as he looked all around him. Seeing the suffering warriors who died at the ruthless hands of the Titans and psychopaths, he sighed and made his decision.


    He put his hand in his pocket before bringing a potion.


    Commander Knock looked at Drog and Legs. "Protect me when I''m out".


    Without hesitation, he downed the contents of the potion.


    The effects of the potion were instant.


    "Ahhh¡­!" "Roar¡­!"


    Commander Knock''s skin literally tore open as his body started beefing up at a crazy speed as he screamed and roared. In 5 seconds, he became an entirely different beast, he became a 2-meter tall Gori.


    "Roar!"


    Gori Knock roared as he beat his chest loudly.


    The next moment, his brown eyes stared at the machine that kept on drilling deep into the earth. Without hesitation, he exploded with speed towards it.


    "Follow and protect your Commander!" Legs yelled as he also made his move, the usual style to keep himself alive.

    Legs followed directly behind the Gori while the remaining survivors of the Vanguard Squad led by Drog and Aegon followed behind him.


    Drog was fired up. "Kill the Titans!"


    "Kill the f*cking Clowns!"


    "Destroy that alien creation!"

 Chapter 120 Black Master Einstein

    There were only 3 ck Masters in the Clown Society and ck Master Einstein was one of them, this was enough to show his status.


    As he looked at the dozens of tribe warriors running towards the location of the liberation machine, he was not annoyed, he rather grinned.


    His ck robes pped to the wind as he levitated into the sky.


    His Elementalist energy bore down upon the desert like a divine decree from heaven, his grin widened. "A wise man once said, two things are infinite; the universe and human stupidity".


    Legs felt goosebumps on hearing this. ''He still got this catchphrase''.


    "You know the stupid thing about you lot¡­"


    The warriors paid no attention to his words as they charged under their Commander''s leadership, Knock was already consumed by the power of the potion.


    Their target was right before them, the machine that was bringing the Titans back from the dead was right before them but it still felt so far away.


    On the ground was filled with hundreds of Civilian Titans, and over a dozen Warrior Titans guarding the machine who were ready to rip them apart.


    On the rooftops were the Red Masters and Blue Masters of the Clown Society, all ready to also tear them to pieces.


    Commander Knock finally collided with the first Warrior Titan.


    BOOM!


    The sound of collision was like that of a rocketunching into space.


    The shockwave was powerful but this time the oue was one-sided, Knock''s powerful punch tore the muscle veins of the undead Warrior Titan, sending rippling waves through its body that tore it apartpletely.


    After taking the potion, Commander Knock temporarily gained Grade C power. The effects of the potion were random though ording to his resistance.


    This meant that they were on a time limit to achieve their goal.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    None of the warriors held back as they gave their all to attacking the Titans and psychopaths of the Clown Society who also retaliated fiercely.


    ck Master Einstein still didn''t attack yet, he kept on talking.


    "The stupid thing about you lot is that you have gotten used to very".


    "A system of leadership and superiority that has killed our society, a system where powerless politicians send brave young warriors to their death while they stay at home enjoying whores with a bottle of wine apanying it".


    "A system of leadership where the sons and daughters of kings and tribe heads automatically be the next leaders when there are better candidates".


    "A system where the poor without any name are neglected".


    "A system where talent is no longer the criteria but your family name is".


    "Wake up from your stupidity, bring an end to this crippling order and wee the natural chaos".


    "Wake up from your stupidity or I will make you".


    The warriors of the 8 major tribes refused to listen to the bbering of this viin, all their attention was on killing his subordinates and killing him.


    Blood already started flowing, dyeing the pce ground red.


    Bam!


    Each sound of collision from a Warrior Titan sent another warrior of the 8 tribes to the afterlife, only Knock was powerful enough to avenge them.


    Despite Commander Knock''s current almost invincible power though, like the others, he barely made progress as a horde of Civilian Titans simply blocked his way with Warrior Titans that posed a threat to him.


    The battle was intense and bloody.


    For the next 8 minutes, they gave their all without any progress.


    Despite giving their all, they kept on dying to the tyrannical hooves of their enemies. It was inevitable, they started losing morale.


    "Wake up from your stupidity and join the cause of the Clown Sage".


    "Do not listen to the words of this murderer!" Drog screamed as he noticed the decreasing morale among the warriors.


    Since Commander Knock already lost most of his senses after bing a massive Gori, the mantle of leadership now fell upon him.


    "He came here to kill our children and wives".


    "We shall not allow it!"


    "Kill him and discover the truth behind the machine!"


    "So be it". The ck Master finally gave up on liberating these lost souls from their stupidity, he decided to end their misery.


    He finally brought out his Elementalist Staff.


    "Sage Style: Whirlwind of Fire and Sand!"


    Whoosh!


    The ck Master barely finished before a massive whirlwind picked up with fire and the golden sand of the desert being its main elements.


    Unlike most Elementalists in Darvis, ck Master Einstein was an Elementalist who already became an Elementalist Sage by mastering 2 Elemental affinities, he mastered the elements of fire and earth.


    As soon as the whirlwind picked up, it swept towards the warriors of the 8 tribes like a natural disaster sent to wipe them off the face of the earth.


    He specifically targeted Drog who attempted to motivate the others.


    They were swept off without much resistance as the whirlwind submerged them. Screams reverberated from the massive whirlwind as blood flowed.


    Drog stood bravely to the end like a warrior of the Drago Celeste tribe. Even amid the fire and sand that moved with such speed that left them sharper than daggers, he was able to kill 3 more Civilian Titans before he died.


    His dying words inspired the others. "For our families".


    "FOR OUR FAMILIES!" The remaining warriors roared as they attacked even fiercer, trying their best to withstand the dangerous whirlwind of death.


    The sound of burning flesh filled the air from inside the whirwind.


    That was not all from the ck Master. Without any words, with just waves of his Elementalist staff, a hail of massive fireballs and fire spears descended from the sky into the whirlwind to end the job that he started.


    "Roar!"


    After suffering in the whirlwind for minutes, Knock finally found his bnce. With a mighty roar, he jumped out of the whirlwind straight at the ck Master who still levitated in the skies with such speed that he barely reacted.


    "Sage Style: Fiery Sand Doppelganger!"


    BOOM!


    Knock''s powerful punchpletely obliterated the ck doppelganger that was made out of sand and fire energy, the ck Master barely escaped.


    Whoosh!


    Knock was not having it though as he went after him.


    For some reason, after Drog''s death, Gori Knock was riled uppletely as his anger became the fuel for his strength that he now used to fight.


    The ck Master was ruffled as he could no longer stay so unbridled.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Knock''s punches were like thunder as he fought against the powerful Elementalist, his rampage gave the others the best chance since they started.


    Legs was sharp to recognize this window of opportunity.


    "Now is our chance, move to the machine!"


    All the surviving warriors instinctively obeyed as they charged towards the machine. Mid-way, they fought against Titans but with Knock having ruffled them already, the resistance became much weaker.


    They went extremely close but they still didn''t get close enough to see what was underneath the vibrating machine that kept on tearing the ground open.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The resistance got even fiercer the closer they got.


    Over a dozen warriors died in less than a minute as their hopes decreased to the lowest point, but this was when Legs found a rare opportunity.


    -----


    You have encountered an extremely rare bird: Void Raven


    ----


    The virtual interface notification this time shocked Legs that he stopped his charge and instinctively looked at the sky where he saw it.


    The ck raven with golden stripes levitated in the sky as he spied and watched all the proceedings of the battlefield.


    Legs''s eyes constricted. "A Void Raven? I must get it!"


    This was not just a perfect opportunity to benefit, but his intelligent brain also deduced that this was the only way to see what was underneath the machine.


    Legs''s perceptive eyes only needed a few seconds to deduce the location of this raven''s owner. He still remembered the basics that were thought in the Summoner Academy. ''If you like a beast, to get it, kill its owner''.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    This was where Legs''s impable energy control came in y.


    The summoner noticed it instantly when Legs started sprinting towards him, he never expected the rainbow bridge to be opened directly behind him though. Ak jumped through and he was ruthless.


    Crunch!


    The sound of bones snapping and blood sshing reverberated as in one smooth motion, Ak beheaded this summoner with his deadly teeth.


    Contracted beasts were supposed to die after their summoner''s death, but they still got a few seconds to live in the world before breathing theirst.


    These were the few seconds of truth.


    As the Void Raven fell, Legs in his integrated state scaled a building as he jumped towards the Raven the next moment.


    ''It''s now or never''.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast Contract


    ----


    Legs used hisst contract opportunity that he saved exactly for scenarios like this, his hand made contact with the Raven''s head before it died.


    -----


    Contracting process has¡­


    ----

 Chapter 121 Another Grade C Mission And Incredible Rewards

    -----


    Congrattions! Contracting process has seeded!


    ----


    Unlike when he tried his beast contract with Ak, the contracting process seeded in one try. Legs did not know if this was because his luck increased but he could not have been happier with the process.


    On seeing Legs who already seemed like their 2nd Commander turn to run away, the remaining survivors of the 8 major tribes lost hope.


    Even Christensen was stunned as all his actions stopped in shock.


    ''Is master deserting the battle?'' He felt it hard to wrap his head around this.


    This moment of hesitation was all it took for the momentum to change again as the fastest Warrior Titans ughtered 5 warriors instantly.


    Seeing this, one of the warriors finally gave up as he turned to escape.


    His time of escaping coincided with Rex''s time for the contracting process to seed, the ck Raven that was free-falling a moment ago regained its vitality as it pped its wings to levitate.


    -----


    You have deactivated active ability: Beast Integration


    ----


    Immediately after Legs did this, Predator was yanked out of his body as he coughed blood. He didn''t give a damn though as he made his next action.


    He activated the beast integration active ability again, this time with a different target and a different motive in mind.

    Fusing with his new contracted beast was different than every other integration that Legs had done before now, it was new and unadulterated.


    Fusing with a bird was so much different from fusing with and beast.


    Legs'' body structure was literally restructured.


    Crack!


    His bones made crackling and snapping sounds as they changed. His skin turned ck with 3 gold stripes moving across his body. Also, his eyes changed as they now glowed a golden color.


    The greatest change of all was the ck wings that extended from his back. Fusing with the Void Raven changed Legspletely.

    Whoosh!


    Legs pped his wings as he levitated higher into the skies.


    His sudden transformation shocked both parties in this battlefield. The warriors were shocked and unsure of what to do, while the psychopaths who knew what a Void Raven was capable of tried to kill it.


    They shot arrows at him but Legs dodged them all like he was a fish in water. In the air at this moment, he felt at home, he felt in his domain.


    He finally activated the iconic active ability.


    -----


    You have activated special ability: Eyes of a dozen Void Ravens


    ----


    Instantly after Legs activated this ability, the air space seemed to vibrate a bit as a dozen ethereal Void Ravens appeared in the skies the next moment.


    As soon as they appeared, following Legs'' will, they flew to different locations around the Ancient Titan pce, ignoring the attacks of the psychopaths that went right through their ethereal bodies as they saw everything.


    Through the eyes of the ethereal Void Ravens, Legs saw everything.


    The 5-meter tall drilling machine had upants inside it. After activating another special ability, the all-seeing eyes of the Void Ravens prated the metal of the machine.


    Inside the machine were 3 psychopaths clothed in red operating it. He finally saw what was underneath the machine that caused the rainbow light.


    During the reign of the Titan Empire, there were 3 known champions who were Grade C powerhouses, the Emperor and his 2 Army Commanders.


    The 3 Grade C Titans were bundled together, tied in chains under the machine. As the drill dug into the ground, it received energy that Legs''s special eyes traced it''s origin to be from another location.


    The massive energy all entered the body of these 3 Titans, and through the residual energy exuding from their bodies, the other Titans roamed dead and alive.


    The 3 Titans were the key to stopping the undead Titans.


    Almost instantly after he saw it, Legs received a virtual interface notification that attracted his attention.


    -----


    [You have triggered Grade C Mission: Save the 3 Titan Champions!]


    [Mission Details: Under the maniptions of the Clown Society, the 3 Champions of the Titan Empire have been charged with energy that brought them back to life. With their power, their race is trapped in an undying cycle.]

    [Mission Reward: Alien Weapon- Lightsaber!]


    ¡­


    [Hidden Mission: ???]


    [Hidden Mission Reward: Alien Weapon- Positron Rifle!]


    ----


    As soon as he finished looking at the interface mission, Legs felt a pair of eyes looking at him. He looked down only for his eyes to meet the pleading eyes of the Emperor of the Ancient Titan Empire.


    The Emperor could not speak but his eyes told Legs everything.


    "I will save you". Legs promised before turning around.


    "We''vepleted the mission, let''s escape!"


    As soon as they heard Legs, the survivors of the Vanguard Squad who were now less than 20 were ecstatic as they turned to escape.


    ck Master Einstein was not having that though.


    "None of you shall escape!" This Sage Elementalist dered.


    "Sage Style: Ancient Wall of ss".


    Hebined fire and sand to form a gigantic ss wall that surrounded the whole Titan pce, trapping them all in but Legs did not stop.


    "Christensen, send Brutus to the beast ne for his survival".


    "Yes, master".


    As he instructed, he also made his move.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Legs sent Predator and Ak back to the beast ne. They did not just go, he followed them in also.


    As soon as he arrived at the beast ne, he discovered the location of the Fox pack. Through their telepathic rtionship, Lucky already knew of his distress and she led her Fox pack to be as close to this location.


    As soon as he arrived, Legs sprinted to their location in less than a minute.


    "Are you ready?"


    "Hell yeah!"


    Bzzz!


    Legs summoned the rainbow bridge again as they all braced themselves before jumping in to meet the already rampaging ck Master Einstein.


    Kalsang and Redmane reacted fastest to the iing attack as soon as they arrived in the Ancient Titan pce.


    Kalsang, the Tibetan Fox created a massive wall that was made out of sand while Redmane created a mini ckhole through his space powers that swallowed the rampaging fire that was set aze by the ck Master.


    Legs turned to look at them. "We need to escape".


    Then he turned to the surviving warriors and yelled. "On me!"


    Their race for survival began.

 Chapter 122 Escape! [1]

    "On me!"


    None of the tribe warriors dared disobey as they all went behind Legs. Having seen his ability already, not even Aegon doubted him.


    As they rallied around him, all the Foxes rallied behind Redmane with Lucky who was their leaderfortably in the middle of their formation.


    They already received Legs''s orders, Legs''s order was that they needed to escape and that was exactly what Redmane aimed to achieve.


    Redmane as the Army Commandermunicated with the others.


    Just like Lucky, all of them except Zorro couldmunicate in the normal tongue and Redmanemanded them with the normal tongue.


    "Winter, ice domain!"


    "I can''t use my ice powers here".


    "Then, weather maniption and temperature regtion".


    The Arctic Fox went to work fulfilling the orders instantly.


    "Kalsang, dust and sand maniption to hinder sight, you will be our eyes in this mission".


    The huge Tibetan Fox acknowledged the orders.


    "Hunter, be our ranger".


    "Vixen, create an illusion to heighten the effects of impaired sight for the enemies, make sure that they arepletely blind".


    "Biscuit, their major weakness is their residual soul energy that is crystallized in their head, you know what to do".


    "Aye, Commander".


    "Lucky, we need your luck".


    "You got it". Legs saw a rare serious look on Lucky''s face.


    Redmane finally turned to thest Fox.


    "Zorro, charge!"


    "Roar!"


    The Giant Hoary Fox roared and howled loudly before leading the charge straight towards the thick ss wall that was erected by the ck Master.


    The remaining Foxes charged directly behind the leading Zorro.


    For the first time, Legs saw Redmane put all the drills and training that he put the Lucky Society members to into action in a real battle.


    Whoosh!


    They barely moved before dust and sand started rising in the air rapidly.


    In less than a second, the dust got so thick that visibility was impaired to an all-time low. It was impossible to even see your hand in the thick dust not to talk of seeing the enemy that was on your front.


    Winter could not use her ice powers, but she could manipte temperature and weather. The temperature started growing cold slowly as a sandstorm picked up nearby, ravaging through the ranks of the undead Titans.


    "3 Titans in your front". Kalsang directed Zorro who led the charge.


    "Roar!"


    The powerful Fox only needed to charge through them with much more force to break all their bones, crippling the powerful and gigantic Civilian Titans.


    Instantly after the Foxes charged, Legs followed them as all the tribe warriors also stuck close to him.


    Before going to the beast ne to call the Foxes, he already deactivated his beast integration ability and hence the Void Raven was free in the air.


    As soon as the dust rose, hindering vision, Legs sought help.


    "Raven bro, I need your help".


    Kalsang was the eye of the Fox group, while the Void Raven became Legs''s eyes through which he led the tribe warriors through the chaos.


    Impaired vision disrupted the Titans so much that they became disorganized.


    Even the threat of the Warrior Titans became nonexistent since they could no longer see their opponents, they could only attack randomly.


    And in random circumstances, the Foxes were at a ridiculous advantage since Lucky was in their midst. Lucky''s luck glow was a cheat, the passive ability increased their luck to such incredible levels that everything worked for them.


    Every probability rted event worked in their favor.


    The Titans'' random attacks mostly hit themselves, more than often, they tripped as they stepped on each other, it was pure chaos.


    As for the Foxes, pure order was maintained due to Lucky''s luck, Kalsang''s desert sight, and Redmane''s leadership. It was the perfect synergy.


    Under Kalsang''s guidance, Zorro charged through the chaotic blockade of the horde of Titans until he finally collided against the thick ss wall.


    BOOM!


    The sound was like exploding dominoes as soon as the mighty Giant Hoary Fox collided against the reinforced ss wall but he bounced back.


    Redmane arrived right in time to give new orders.


    "Use your strongest abilities to hit the wall".


    "Aye, Commander".


    All the Foxes released their strongest attacks in a frenzy.


    "Attack!"


    Through their telepathic rtionship, Legs received feedback from the Void Raven about what happened and also ordered the warriors to attack.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    All their attacksbined together created an incredible force, the ss wall cracked but shockingly, it repaired itself in mere seconds.


    As for ck Master Einstein, despite how much he tried, he could not leave that battlefield to support the Titans since Knock held him in a tight battle.


    The Foxes and warriors attacked the wall again to no avail. It cracked but it repaired itself again, it felt like it was indestructible.


    As soon as he received the feedback from the Void Raven, Legs knew what was happening. ''He is actively reinforcing the ss wall''.


    ''He is the key to escape''.


    Legs deduced that the ck Master was the key to escape, the only problem was that he was not powerful enough to injure him.


    While the Foxes and warriors kept on hauling attacks at the ss wall, Legs'' brain entered overdrive, thinking rapidly until he got it.


    "Christensen, the G-96 pistols".


    Also embroiled in the battle against the Titans while attacking the wall on top Leo, Christensen did not understand why but having stayed with his master for long, he learned not to ask why as he threw the pistols without hesitation.


    As soon as Legs grabbed the pistols, he jumped up and aimed.


    -----


    Passive ability has been triggered: Marksman


    ¡­


    Special bullets detected: Chaotic Mana Bullets


    ----


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The special bullets flew out of the muzzles of the automatic pistols.


    Legs did not aim at the ck Master neither did he aim at the Titans, he instead aimed at the 5-meter tall machine that kept on digging into the ground.


    As soon as ck Master Einstein noticed it, he was rmed as he left his defense in pursuit of the bullets, allowing Knock to injure him.


    He was toote though; the bullets'' uracy was insane as they went through all the tiny gaps straight at where the rainbow light glowed from underneath the machine. The bullets hit their target.


    Boom!


    With that booming sound, the energy of the machine instantly became unstable as all 3 red masters inside it that operated it were fried to death.


    ck Master Einstein arrived just in time to prevent the machine from exploding from the chaotic mana from the 3 Titan champions caused by the chaotic mana bullets as he forcibly stabilized the reaction with his powerful energy.


    Him exerting so much effort into keeping the machine stable brought the defense of the ss wall to an all-time low.


    Crack!


    The ss wall shattered.


    With the ss shattering, the survivors of the Vanguard Squad alongside the Fox squad were able to finally escape outside the Ancient Titan pce.


    "Split up!" Legs roared.


    "That is our best chance of escaping".


    The group divided into 3 sides.


    Legs led one group as 8 tribe warriors and his student followed him, Captain Aegon led another one as 5 tribe warriors followed him, while thest group followed Kamnak, Knock''s younger brother and the Kong champion.


    With ck Master Einstein preupied, Knock had the freedom to go on a rampage across the formation of the Titans as he ughtered them.


    5 minutester, ck Master Einstein finally stabilized the machine.


    He turned to re at Knock who was still ughtering the Titans.


    "Your decision shall lead to your death boy!"


    This time, already angered, ck Master Einstein did not hold back as he gave his all into beating this Gori. After 4 minutes of intense battle, Knockid on the pce ground in a pool of his own blood.


    Instead of despairing though, he smiled still in his Gori form.


    "I cannot lose to Drog".


    "For our families¡­" He died.

 Chapter 123 Escape! [2]

    Roar! Roar!


    The Titans roared and shrieked as they pursued the humans.


    Captain Aegon had blood all over his face from both his deadrades and Titans as he led the 5 warriors that followed him to escape this ancient cursed city.


    Despite the advantage that the Fox Squad and Commander Knock gave to them, dozens of Civilian Titans were still on their heels with a few Warrior Titans.


    The Civilian Titans may not be able to run but their walking was equivalent to a human''s running, their massive legs ate yards of space with each stomp.


    Thousands of Titans lived in this city during its reign as an Empire, with all of them having been woken up by that cursed machine, it meant that despite the different helps that they got, they still had hundreds of Titans that were after them.


    Arya had a look of panic on her face as she ran after her squad leader.


    As for Ackermann, she was as serious as always as they escaped.


    As for the other tribe warriors that decided to escape with the Captain, one of them was Din, the current generation champion of the Drago Celeste tribe while the other 2 were from other tribes.


    They had different expressions on their faces as they escaped.


    The thudding sounds kept on growing louder.


    "The Warrior Titan is closing the distance!" Arya yelled in a panic.


    "Shut up and keep on running!" Aegon snapped back at her.


    As they ran, he suddenly stopped as he forced his Pugilist energy down to his legs. While the rest escaped, he sprinted at the closest Warrior Titan.


    "Pugilist Ability: Floating steps of glory!"


    Once his first foot stomped on the ground, he levitated into the skies as with Pugilist energy concentrated on his leg, he sprinted across the air.


    Mid-sprint, he brought out his pair of daggers from their sheath.


    Unlike Drog and Knock, Aegon was a weapon Pugilist.


    His sudden maneuver caught the Warrior Titan off-guard. The massive Titan was unable to react as Aegon sprinted right before its face in an instant.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    3 rapid stabs, one to the left eye, another to the right eye, and thest to the forehead straight at the crystal spelled the end for this Warrior Titan.


    Its colossal form fell like a cut tree as Aegon turned to escape.


    The other Titans roared angrily but he gave them no heed.


    Aegon turned right in time to see his followers running around a bend into another street, he rapidly sprinted after them into the bend.


    Just a few secondster though, they regreted their decision.


    This was a dead end.


    For some strange reason, this street was cut apart in half and what flowed inside the massive hole left in its middle was extremely hotva.


    Lava was before them, Titans were behind them.


    "F*ck!" Aegon cursed as he turned in desperation to look at the Titans.


    It was already toote for anything smart, the Titans already flooded the street and cut off all their chances of escaping to take another street.


    "We have to fight!" He yelled at his followers.


    "Fight and survive!"


    All of them braced themselves before shing with the Titans.


    With Aegon leading them with his deadly daggers, they were able to hold their ground, defending themselves while killing a few Titans in the process but this did notst long since there was simply no end to the Titans.


    As soon as Aegon was injured, they were screwed.


    The leading Warrior Titans mmed their powerful arms in a bid to crush them to pieces and this was where desperation pushed Din to his limits.


    In this moment of life and death, he broke his limit.


    Din''s eyes and body turned red as his body emitted steam.


    The next moment, he yelled. "Wan Dragon, release!"


    Din''s body briefly turned intangible then from his body flew out a massive Red Dragon far powerful than the Berserk Ape that Kamnak once released.


    In this moment of life and death, he overcame his limit and learned the release. Instantly after the Red Dragon appeared, it roared and breath fire.


    "Roar!"


    The red Wan Dragon proved that fire was another bane of the Titans, or perhaps, it was just Dragon fire.


    In contact with Dragon fire, the Titans were like dry leaves making contact with fire as they burned to ashes before being blown away by the wind.


    In less than a minute, the red Wan Dragon wiped the street of Titans.


    Others marched here but for now, they were safe.


    Aegon heaved a sigh of relief. "You did it Din! Let''s escape".


    Whoosh!


    Aegon barely turned around to find a shortcut to the nearest street before he heard the familiar sound of a Pugilist''s energy punch.


    "Ugh¡­" The warrior coughed blood as his chest caved inpletely.


    His heart was obliterated and he died.


    Aegon turned in shock just in time to see the next murder.


    Snap!


    Din snapped the head of the next warrior before going for Arya.


    Ackermann dodged swiftly but Arya was petrified, perhaps still shocked by the fact that Din just killed 2 of theirrades. Aegon reacted right on time, jumping into the fray to barely save her from Din''s deadly fists.


    "Why?" Aegon turned to look at him as he asked.


    "Hahaha". Dinughed. "Why? You dare ask me why?"


    More Titans came, but the red Wan Dragon burned them all with its fire, giving Din all the time in the world tomit his murder and speak.


    "I don''t need to have a reason to kill, I just do it". He said coldly.


    Aegon shook his head as he looked at the 2 dead bodies. "Why?" He asked again as his shoulders shook perhaps from sadness or rage.


    This time, Din could no longer give a random answer but his eyes still burned red in rage. "Why? Because of how you all treated me".


    His voice turned agitated and tensed up like someone who had a lot of things to vent but was previously holding back. "I lost my parents at a tender age but no one seemed to care".


    "They didn''t care about how I feel, they abducted me to train and heaped such high expectations on me because I became this generation''s champion".


    "I can cope with huge expectations on my shoulders, but they just took me as a tool. The champion is supposed to be the next tribe head but I can''t, after all, I am not the heir, I am not Draconion''s descendant".


    "I live all my life and was trained to serve Draconion''s useless son".


    "I killed those 2 because of how they treated me, I know they always saw me as a good for nothing who got lucky to be a champion".


    "What if I became a champion? What''s wrong with that? It''s not like I even deliberately choose it, why can''t I just be me?" Unknowing to himself, tears already started pouring down his eyes as he vent.


    "No one ever loved me, the only people who loved me left me when I was a child, I love no one in my tribe nor the other tribes".


    Aegon was stunned at first by Din''s revtion but he calmed down. "We''rerades, our rtionship is even better than the love between families".


    Din looked at Aegon and sneered. "I am no longer a na?ve kid".


    "During the argument to determine the Commander of the Vanguard Squad, you knew that Kamnak already learned the release yet you let me fight him just to humiliate me".


    "If I was the one who learned it first, would you have let me fight, beat, and humiliate Kamnak in public just to chose the Commander?"


    "You won''t". Heughed. "Kamnak is tribe head Kohama''s son after all".


    Heughed again and shook his head as his eyes shone in conviction. "I can''t find love among your likes anymore".


    "I think I can only find the love that I am looking for in a free ce like the Clown Society, they are free unlike the tribes".


    "Like the ck Master said, we live in a stupid system".


    "I no longer want to be a part of this stupid system".


    "I will present your heads to the ck Master as the ticket for me to join their leaderless system, their system where true freedom is".


    Din clenched his fists.


    "Din, you don''t have to do this¡­"


    "Shut up, you know nothing!"


    "Kill them!"


    The red Wan Dragon changed its target and breath dragon fire.


    Din joined the attack as his Pugilist energy red powerfully.


    Boom!

 Chapter 124 Escape! [3]

    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    "Awoo!"


    Ak howled as he descended from the beast ne.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    All around Legs was an intense battlefield as he and the warriors of the 8 major tribes fought against while trying to escape the pursuit of the Titans.


    As the group that left with the most warriors, they became the prime target of the undead Titans as thousands of them trooped after them.


    Redmane and the other Foxes in Lucky''s pack were the only reason why they were not annihted yet, the Foxes proved their mettle in battle.


    Redmane already proved that he was an outstanding Commander.


    Despite some of the Foxes being mere Grade E beasts, under Commander Redmane''s leadership, they cooperated and integrated with the other Foxes to form a cohesive unit that attacked and retreated as one.


    None of the Foxes could be picked out by the undead Titans, their abilitiesplimented each other so much that none of them died to the Titans.


    By using all the Foxes to their full potential, Redmane improvised in a way where they were able to escape to the edge of the massive ruined city.


    The only problem was escaping the city.


    Perhaps, having received orders from the ck Master, hundreds of Titans led by at least 5 Warrior Titans were at the edge of the city''s destroyed wall already waiting for their arrival.


    As soon as they arrived, the Titans pounced on them.


    This was the reason why Legs was forced to recall Ak.


    The Wind Wolf''s speed saved Legs''s life as soon as he mounted its back. Against so many Titans from both the front and the back, staying safe became a big problem as 2 of the tribe warriors died within the first minute.


    This was when a difficult decision was ced before Legs.


    They were making progress in breaking through the blockade of the Titans, but if nothing changed, more of them would die before they escaped.


    Legs closed his eyes and made the decision.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    "Awoo!" "Awoo!"


    As soon as Legs activated this ability again, the howl of dozens of wolves reverberated as Ak''s wolf pack charged out of the beast ne.


    "Hold the Titans at the back, hold them till we escape".


    As soon as Legs gave the order, he focused back on the Titans that blocked their way as he aimed with the G-96 pistols before pulling the trigger.


    ? He knew that Commander Knock would notst against ck Master Einstein and was why he was in such haste to escape this cursed city.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Under his leadership, the warriors and beasts attacked the Titans blocking their front with their all while the wolves sacrificed their lives to hold off the Titans that tried to attack them from behind.


    There were sacrifices, all of them suffered injuries while another died but, in the end, they seeded and were able to carve a path through the Titans.


    "Run!!!"


    Legs yelled as he urged Ak to escape.


    The swift Wind Wolf charged through the opened path first followed by Christensen on top Leo before the other warriors finally charged through.


    Only one wolf survived among the wolves that stayed behind to hold of the Titans, the others all died. Only Warg, the Dark Wolf survived.


    Ak''s pack was more or less wiped out.


    The Wind Wolf howled in anger and sadness as he escaped.


    Legs also felt sad at the sacrifice of the wolves but this was no time to mourn their deaths, he turned to his student.


    "Bring Brutus now!"


    "We need to erase our scents, that''s the only way that we can escape".


    Christensen dared not hesitate as he called the Shadow Hound.


    As soon as he descended from the rainbow bridge, Brutus didn''t need orders before he understood what was required of him as he used his special abilities to wipe off all their traces including their scents.


    The Titans lost them in less than 2 minutes.


    As they escaped, from afar, they could feel the powerful energy of the ck Master as his fire and sand wreaked havoc to vent his anger.


    They suffered but they managed to escape. Following the n that they agreed on beforehand, they escaped to a hideout in the desert where they rested for the night during their journey to the Ancient Titan city.


    ¡­


    "Lord Kamnak, you need to escape first, worry about us after".


    "No!"


    "Everyone escapes with me!"


    Kamnak''s Berserk Ape fought alongside this powerful Pugilist as they carved holes through the chaotic formation of the Titans.


    Despite having to face the lest number of Titans due to the few members in his group, Kamnak still faced a difficult task of escaping the city.


    Of the 3 tribe warriors that followed him, one already died and he was now left with 2 to escape with. He had no intentions of deserting them.


    The battle was bloody but Kamnak stood his ground as his Berserk Ape took the bulk of the action while they focused on escaping.


    Thinking of his brother''s sacrifice, he could not bring himself to abandon his 2panions. He would rather die than abandon them.


    After a few grueling minutes of battle and escape where they were leftpletely exhausted, they finally escaped out of the city.


    After escaping the city, losing the Titans became another problem but they had help. Under Legs''s orders, Christensen and Brutus were waiting for them.


    The master and beast helped 3 of them to erase their scents before sending them away to the hideout, then they stayed behind to wait for thest group.


    Captain Aegon''s group took longer than all the other groups.


    And when he escaped, despite leaving with 5 superhuman warriors, he returned with only 2 and they were all severely injured.


    Captain Aegon was bloody all over despite not suffering any deep injuries, but his 2panions suffered. Ackermann lost a hand and deeply injured her right leg as the Captain had to carry her all the way while they escaped.


    Arya''s body was intact but she was badly scorched by fire.


    Christensen was shocked on seeing them but he dared not tarry as he ordered Brutus to carry the incapacitated female warrior before leading them to safety, they lost the Titans after 4 minutes this time.


    When they finally arrived at the hideout, the others were shocked.


    Kamnak looked down at Ackermann''s sorry state with shock on his face.


    "What happened?"


    "¡­"

 Chapter 125 The Core Protection Alliance

    ck Master Einstein lost all traces of his enemies.


    In his decades of service in the Clown Society as a ck Master, this was the most humiliating defeat that he had ever suffered. A defeat against a bunch of youths and teenagers was something he would never forget.


    He was outwitted, outsmarted, and outbattled today.


    Knock''s sacrifice made sure that despite his incredible strength, he waspletely kept at bay and prevented from wreaking too much destruction.


    Legs''s incredible decision making and smartness enabled them to discover the secret of the machine despite all his cautiousness.


    Drog''s sacrifice kept the warriors'' motivation burning which in the end became a great catalyst not just for the warriors'' escape but Knock''s brave sacrifice.


    The Void Raven was supposed to be a secret weapon of his side, Legs outwitted him and turned this weapon against him.


    He never expected Legs to know a Void Raven though.


    In the end, despite his incredible power, he could not do anything about the warriors that escaped all because of a Hound, a Shadow Hound called Brutus.


    Brutus''sbination abilities of Invisible Shadow and Identity Merge was something that he could not break. He underestimated them and he paid the price.


    ''What a wake-up call''. He sighed as he levitated in the skies.


    ''Perhaps, I am indeed getting old''.


    As he thought to himself, he was suddenly distracted by a loud roar that came from the skies inside the Ancient Titan City.


    His eyes narrowed. "Someone is still behind?"


    On turning to look, he didn''t just see a person, he saw a person riding a massive Red Dragon towards him as this intimidating dragonnded on the roof of a building where he finally saw the face of the person who rode it.


    Such a massive Dragon was an intimidating sight to most people but ck Master Einstein was not intimidated, he already knew that the Red Dragon was just a Grade D beast despite its powerful bloodline.


    "You are one of them". ck Master Einstein''s eyes narrowed. "Is this a trick or you willingly came to give your life up for the greater good?"


    "Neither of both are correct".


    Din answered as he climbed down from the Dragon. "I have no intentions to trick you neither do I intend to die now".


    "You said the stupid thing about us is that we got used to very".


    He looked at this powerful Grade C Elementalist straight in the eye. "I no longer want to be stupid, I no longer want to be a ve, I want to be free".


    He turned serious. "Take me in, I want to join your cause to bring an end to this crippling order of leadership and usher in the old order of natural chaos".


    ck Master Einstein had no change in his expression for a few seconds as he just looked at this warrior, the next moment he smiled.


    "Wee to the good side".


    "You will not regret it".


    "My name is Einstein¡­"


    ¡­


    The Core Protection Alliance had its headquarters in the center of Darvis, right on top thend where the''s core was located.


    After the advent of superhuman energy and the rise of the 3 Great academies and the Hunter Union, humans discovered the importance of the core. It''s importance to superhumans was like water to normal humans.


    The''s core was what enabled superhuman energy that was mostly called mana by some to settle on Darvis.


    The survival of Darvis relied on the''s core.


    Recognizing this, the 4 main organizations of the formed an alliance to protect the core. The alliance was called the Core Protection Alliance.


    Elite warriors from the 3 Academies and the Hunter Union were in charge of protecting it, serving here was a matter of pride for any warrior.


    Silence was mostly the order in the Core Protection Alliance headquarters, but today, the afternoon was not quiet as rms were rang.


    Beth, like all the warriors reacted as soon as she heard the alert as she ran to her post in preparation for battle against any enemy while waiting for further details. After what felt like a dozen minutes, news finally came.


    Apparently, an unusual energy reaction was just detected from the''s core and was what caused themotion.


    After confirming that there was no immediate threat, the warriors stayed at their posts while the core scientists went to meet the alliancemanders.


    Inside an enclosed room, a white-bearded old man addressed the 8 humans that were seated before him. "I have never felt such energy fluctuations from it".


    "Old man Gilliard, are you sure it''s not the regr fluctuations?"


    "No!" The old scientist replied firmly.


    "It''s different, I know it is".


    "This time, the fluctuation is aggressive and directed unlike the previous random fluctuations. For some reason, I discovered a simrity between it and an Elementalist drawing his energy from his core".


    "After studying it more for some minutes, I arrived at a conclusion".


    "What is it?"


    "I think an entity is trying to harness the power of the core".


    "¡­"


    On noticing the odd stares around him, the old scientist pushed. "I''m right this time, I know I can get crazy at times with my theories but this time I am 100% sure of my discovery, someone is trying to harness the core''s power?"


    The male dwarf Commander representing the Elementalist Academy sighed. "Old man, when have you ever not been 100% sure of your discoveries?"


    "And most times, they end up being baseless theories".


    "I am right this time!"


    "Ok, we get it". The tall female Commander representing the Summoner academy spoke this time. "So, what would you have us do?"


    "I tried to pinpoint where the fluctuation was directed towards, and though I''m not sure, I think it is towards the desert".


    "What is in the desert?" The burly and rough-bearded Commander representing the Pugilist academy asked.


    "I don''t know, that''s why we need to discover it".


    "Old man Gilliard, you expect us to send some of our valuable warriors randomly to the desert in search of an elusive something just because you have a hunch?" The dwarf asked.


    "Yes". This old scientist nodded vehemently.


    The male dwarf sighed. "Old age is really a disease".


    "I''ll do it".


    All the eyes turned to where the voice came from, where the handsome blonde-haired male Commander representing the Hunter Union sat.


    "My warriors like adventures and stuck in this mansion, they don''t get much of it, I believe they''re already bored enough".


    "They''ll dly take this mission even if it means going to the desert".


    "Thank you, Bernard, I appreciate this gesture".


    He smiled. "No worries old man".


    With that, the small gathering was brought to an end.


    A few hourster, a group of 5 warriors and their Captain representing the Hunter Union were sent on a mission from the Core Protection Alliance headquarters.

 Chapter 126 Tribe Chief Kohama

    -----


    You have been affected by an Elementalist ability: Healing Water


    You have been affected by an Elementalist ability: Soothing Water


    ----


    Legs felt a soothing feeling flow through his body as the beautiful female water Elementalist worked on his shoulder that was dislocated during the escape.


    By conjuring water and focusing it on his shoulder, the water became a blue healing water that did not just heal him but also sooth his tense nerves.


    Thudding sounds still reverberated all around this hideout.


    Till now, the Titans were still out in the desert in search of them.


    Legs was not the only one that was being healed as the water Elementalists healed the others also, giving focus to those with severe injuries.


    There was total silence in this hideout dug underneath the sand as the warriors not only worried about the Titans but the truth which they just learned.


    They were still in the process of mourning theirrades who died in action when they asked Captain Aegon and he had no choice but to tell them the truth.


    Though Captain Aegon didn''t want to admit it, he felt that he was obligated to tell them the truth about how Ackermann and Arya were injured.


    When they learned the truth that Din betrayed them and killed 2 of theirrades, they were confused at first.


    Truly, all the 8 major tribes were fierce rivals but, in this mission, their tribe heads vehemently told them to let go of their differences and focus on the mission.


    This was a mission that involved the survival of them all.


    The most baffling fact was that one of the warriors that Din killed was also from the Drago Celeste tribe which left them even more confused.


    Captain Aegon didn''t hold back though, he told them everything, including Din''s reason for deciding to betray hisrades.


    So, there they all sat with different thoughts going through their heads.


    Legs rxed as he recovered his energy. Like the others, he also had strong feelings about the betrayal. Not because he knew Din, but because Captain Aegon already told him the potentials of a champion who mastered the release.


    Din''s Dragon was still just an infant though it had Grade D strength, and with this, Din was guaranteed to be a Grade C warrior in the future.


    He and Kamnak had the potential to be as strong as tribe chief Kohama.


    Due to the power limits of this, the bulk of superhuman warriors were Grade F superhumans while extremely talented warriors had a high chance of bing Grade D powerhouses.


    But to became a Grade C powerhouse entailed much more, not only talent, but hard work, and incredible luck was required.


    Grade C was the pinnacle of strength in Darvis, if every character was a Grade C warrior, then Legs and his fellow game developers would have done a terrible job in the game structuring.


    What worried Legs wasbining Din''s incredible talent and luck with the Clown''s craziness, it was a dangerousbination.


    In his previous life, the Clown Society had only 3 Grade C superhumans but these 3 were enough to take this by storm.


    In his previous life, all the desert tribes died to the Titans but due to his intervention now, he saved them and in return caused a change in the history that he knew. The Clown Society potentially had a 4th Grade C superhuman already.


    Legs did not regret his actions though. ''There''s no use regretting, I just have to learn from my mistakes and make the best use of my time''.


    Despite the many ups and downs, in essence, he achieved his mission. He was able to gain Altan''s confidence and increase his reverence for the Hermit.


    Despite being a Grade D superhuman like him, Legs''s incredible performance back in the Ancient city left a deep impression on Altan.


    ''Only the Hermit would have made this possible''. He thought.


    ''Perhaps, if I serve him more faithfully, I may be this powerful''.


    Thoughts of deserting his ancestral Tree God already started taking root in his heart, this was exactly what Legs aimed to achieve.


    He already started seeing the Hermit as a real god.


    Legs turned to face Christensen. "Can Brutus hold on?"


    "Yes, for the next 3 hours I think but he''ll have to refill his energy".


    Legs turned to face Captain Aegon who replied. "I still have 4 mana-recovery pills with me".


    "Good". Legs was relieved.


    So, there they sat, in the hideout, waiting the storm out.


    A few hourster, the sun finally set, weing the embrace of the night. This was when themotion of the marching Titans finally stopped.


    Brutus went out to confirm, then they finally came out of their hideout.


    Without any rest, they rushed straight to the nearby Drago Celeste territory.


    They slept for the night there as the Drago Celeste tribe territory still stood despite the Freljord tribe already evacuatingpletely.


    The next day, they left for the Kong territory.


    ¡­


    The tribal chief of the Kong tribe sat on his Gori-themed throne.


    With ck eyes as deep as the abyss itself and brown beards falling down his chest, his round bald head glowed despite the dim lighting inside his chambers as Captain Aegon knelt before him giving the report.


    "My son died?"


    "Yes, my lord".


    "Drog died?"


    "Yes, my lord".


    "Did Draconion know already?"


    "Yes, my lord, I informed him on our way here".


    Tribal Chief Kohama stood up from his chieftain throne and turned his back to Aegon as he sighed, he spoke after a few seconds of silence. "Knock was always stubborn".


    "I tried my best to teach him prudence but he refused to listen".


    "He was always the hot-blooded one, he and his friend, Drog".


    "Rival?" Captain Aegon corrected with his head still bowed.


    The tribal chief turned to look at him with a smile on his face. "You think they were rivals? I don''t think so".


    "They knew each other from a tender age, they knew they would be the next tribal chiefs, so they were eager to outdo the other".


    "Hot-blooded, they challenged each other all their childhood till they became men. Despite bing men, they never grew up and still challenged each other".


    "They were so foolish". Heughed. "They were foolish enough to also think they were rivals; their bond is greater than any 2 friends can have".


    "I know that they loved each other more than best friends but they never admitted it".


    "All their lives, they pushed each other to be better versions of themselves and better future tribal chiefs".


    He sighed. "They never got to be tribal chiefs though".


    "Life is so random sometimes I think it''s stupid".


    "I''m sorry for your loss, tribal chief".


    Kohama looked at the young man again and smiled. "I miss being young Aegon". Then he gestured at a chair. "Sit, tell me what happened".


    "Yes, tribal chief".


    As soon as he sat down, Captain Aegon did not mince words as he told everything about what transpired in the mission.


    "Din awakened the release and betrayed us¡­" Kohama sighed and stood up. "The younger generation are so much different from my generation".


    "That does not matter though, what matters is that we found the truth behind the Titans, call the stranger warrior in".


    "Yes, tribe head".


    ¡­


    Legs sat alongside the other survivors of this mission who he fought side by side with as they ate bread and wine to sate their appetite.


    Despite dining with them, his mind was somewhere else.


    After the close encounter with the Titans, Legs knew that it was time that he made his move. After they ruffled their feathers, the ck Master would definitely be more unbridled as he would send more Titans out to wreak havoc.


    ''I need to rescue de as soon as possible''.


    ''I need to drag him into my team but it has to be natural like Christensen''s".


    This was what Legs had a problem with, not every warrior was a spoilt brat like Christensen who was na?ve enough to be easily deceived with words.


    Legs also thought of the yers'' return. Due to his meddling, history already began changing but the version''s focus was still more or less the same.


    After the beta testing, the yers had to wait for 2 weeks in the real world which in game was 70 days. It was already more than 2 months since the beta testing ended, version 1 would soon begin officially.


    Before that happened, Legs wanted to be ready.


    The next moment, all attention in the dining hall was attracted towards the door as Captain Aegon pushed it open and came in.


    "Legs, the tribe chief asks for you".


    "Ok".


    Without a word, Legs followed him.


    On arriving before the tribe chief of the Kong tribe, Legs knelt down and paid his respects.


    "Stand up stranger from beyond the desert".


    Legs smiled. "It is nice to meet you, tribe chief".


    Kohama also smiled. "I heard of what you did to help my warriors, on behalf of all 8 tribes, I thank you Legs".


    Legs simply smiled without replying.


    "As someone who helped our tribes, we are obligated to reward you for your efforts, what do you want as a reward?"


    Legs''s smile widened, he was expecting this and he had no intentions to be too polite. "I did it because Altan asked for my help".


    "But if you insist on rewarding me, a good sword to assist me would do".


    "Done".


    "So, what will you do after leaving here?"


    "I hear that you intend to send more warrior squads to go reinforce the small tribes all across the desert that are already suffering the rampage of the Titans".


    "If it pleases you, I want to be part of these warrior squads".


    Kohama was visibly surprised. "You want to voluntarily help us?"


    "Yes, tribe chief".


    Kohama smiled. "If only there are more souls like you in the world".


    "Thank you for your help Legs, Aegon will take you to choose your sword".


    "Thank you too, tribe chief".

 Chapter 127 The Void Raven

    -----


    [Mithril Sword: Giantsbane]


    [Quality: Umon]


    >Attack: 100-118<


    >Defense: 60<


    >Durability: 300/300<


    [Weapon Ability: Giant''s Might!]


    >Giant''s Might: When activated while running or riding a beast, the force of momentum is amplified several times with your strength to deal an attack that inflicts additional 50% damage<


    >NOTE: Can only be activated when running or riding a beast<


    [Remark: A well-crafted sword of Umon quality.]


    ----


    Legs grabbed the sword and admired its sharp edge.


    Compared to most swords, the Giantsbane was not at the forefront in terms of sharpness but what itcked in sharpness, it gained in strength.


    The sword was heavy and strong, an attack with it could definitely shake any opponent. Despite how heavy it was though, as a Grade D superhuman, Legs was still able to wield the sword without too much effort.


    "Master, it''s a nice sword".


    Legs turned to look at his student. "Yes, it''s a nice sword".


    With this sword, he finally gained a reliable weapon that he could use to battle in the way that he wanted. As for the G-96 pistols, since he could not use them with the sword at the same time, he had other ns for them.


    "Christensen, you''ve learned a lot since you became my student".


    "In most cases, the master usually gets a graduation gift for his student".


    "In this part, I failed previously since I didn''t get you anything".


    Christensen''s eyes widened in excitement. "You don''t mean¡­"


    "Yes, I mean that". Legs smiled before throwing the pair of automatic pistols at his student. "Take, that is your graduation gift".


    "Don''t lose them, and make sure you live up to their potential".


    "I will master". Christensen pledged solemnly.


    Legs rubbed his nose. "No need to be so serious about it, can''t you see how Aegon is looking at you awkwardly?"


    Christensen coughed. "Sorry¡­"


    Captain Aegon chuckled. "They are good pistols, they saved us a lot in the battle against the Titans".


    "Yes, they did". Legs finally turned around to leave the armory.


    The armory of the Kong tribe was massive. The desert tribespared to the shelters may be primitive and backward in a lot of things, but despite theck of mechanic skills in this, they were great craftsmen.


    Their armory was full of well-crafted hunting weapons.


    As they left the armory, Legs patted Aegon. "I like the sword, thank you and help me thank the tribe chief again".


    "I will". Aegon smiled.


    On leaving the armory, Legs and his student went to the part of the tribe settlement that was allocated to them to stay in.


    ording to tribe chief Kohama, they were to rest for the night before being sent on the mission to go save the suffering tribes the next day.


    Before going out to fight the Titans, it was paramount for them to remain in their peak state. On entering their room, Legs went closer to Leo whoid on the ground as he rubbed the Frost Wolf''s white fur.


    Leo purred as soon as he noticed Legs''s presence.


    "Master, are we really going to help them?"


    "Yes, we can''t let innocent people die without helping". He turned to look at his student. "Always remember that the Clown Society is the enemy".


    "But before that, I have something else that I need your help with".


    Christensen raised his eyebrows, his master rarely asked for a favor.


    "You saw the oue of our battle against the Titans, if we were not fast enough, Brutus, Leo, and perhaps Ak would have perished against the Titans".


    "The Foxes in Lucky''s team were the ones who saved the day".


    "That is the power of a beast pack and why I took the Shepherd route".


    "There is no single invincible beast, every beast excels at a particr area, that is why I need to hunt to fill some gaps in my beast formation".


    "Huh?" Christensen scratched his head as he could no longerprehend what his master was saying.


    Legs sighed. "Didn''t you see the oue of the wolves?"


    "¡­"


    Christensen finally dropped his shoulders. "I''m sorry¡­"


    Though it was already more than a day since they fought the Titans, he could not forget the scene as the wolves in Ak''s pack were ughtered like pigs.


    "No need to be sorry, that oue exposed the ws in Ak''s wolf pack". Legs sighed again. "Lucky made things a lot easier for me, but against the enemies that we are up against, we need more".


    "If I don''t want Ak to die, I need to help him grow his pack".


    "I need to help him build a foundation for growth, I need to help him find powerful wolves that will help him build the pack".


    "Do you have a n?"


    "Yes, I''ve been thinking since the battle and I think I have a n". Legs''s eyes gleamed. "Ak is a Wind Wolf, he already has a Dark Wolf that is close to the Grade D realm, what he needs is 2 morepetent assistants".


    "I want to help him hunt 2 powerful Grade D Wolves".


    "Which target do you have in mind?"


    "A Direwolf and a Spilodon".


    "¡­" Christensen looked at his master weirdly.


    "Hey, don''t give me that are you a fool look".


    Christensenughed. "But Spilodons are not wolves".


    "Oh, you even know what a Spilodon is". Legs was visibly surprised.


    Christensen blushed and pouted. "I once read it in my father''s library when I was a prince".


    "Well, you''re right, they''re not wolves, they are big cats but¡­"


    Christensen held his breath, waiting for his master to continue.


    "Let''s say that their creator was a lover of wolf packs and while people always wanted a Spilodon vs Direwolf battle, he wanted a Spilodon and Direwolf partnership so he tweaked the rules a bit and gave the Spilodon something".


    "Guess what, he gave the Spilodon wolf bloodline".


    "Huh?" Christensen was surprised. "This creator, are you referring to God?"


    "Who knows?"


    "If it''s God, then how do you know it?"


    "Who knows? I guess we''ll just have to find out". Legs smiled and stood up. The creator that he was speaking of was himself.


    Back in his previous world, as one of the game developers, he had the freedom to go beyond the storyline and add his own tweaks asionally.


    One of his additions was giving a Spilodon wolf bloodline in the game.


    ''I guess this is where I confirm if this is really the game that I co-developed''.


    As soon as he stood up, he gestured at his student. "You''ve seen my 3rd contracted beast, but let''s go look at him at a more personal level".


    "Ok".


    Christensen was also curious to see the Void Raven properly now that they were no longer alert and wary against Titan attacks.


    Since getting the Void Raven, his master had been in a good mood, he noticed because of how close they were already.


    He wondered how powerful the Void Raven could be.


    On leaving outside the settlement, Legs followed the links of their telepathic connection into the desert until he arrived before a tree in the desert.


    The Void Raven perched on top of the tree as it watched everywhere silently.


    On arriving below the tree, Legs whistled as the Void Raven flew down the next moment before nestling on his raised arm.


    He rubbed the Raven''s feathers with his free left hand.


    "It''s a majestic bird". Christensen said in awe.


    "It is". Legs smiled.


    Despite not having a deep assessment of the Raven''s strength, just standing in close proximity with it told Christensen that this was no ordinary bird.


    As he rubbed the Raven''s feathers, Legs finally essed his virtual interface to see the status of his new contracted beast.

 Chapter 128 Hunting The Direwolf

    The Hellfire Mountains¡­


    Whoosh!


    The hatch to inside the volcano was opened with a sizzling sound following it as the new batch of promising psychopaths were led inside.


    This batch was personally led in by ck Master Einstein.


    Din had a cold look on his face as he was led inside the headquarters of the Clown Society alongside the other promising psychopaths.


    Din was not the only one who defected to the Clown Society willingly. The more the Clown Society terrorized and showed their strength, the more widespread their ideology spread and the more people epted them.


    Most superhuman warriors were already tired of the current leading politics system, when others started the idea, they were happy to join the wagon.


    The brainwashing tactic was only needed for those who stayed fixated on the old declining system, and after sess, all the new psychopaths were designated to different bases of the Clown Society ording to their talent.


    After mastering the ancient release ability of the Drago Celeste tribe back in the Ancient Titan city, Din became qualified to join the other pinnacle talents that were brought to the headquarters.


    ck Master Einstein was leading them straight to meet the Clown.


    As they walked, Din observed his surroundings.


    This volcano was already terraformedpletely by the psychopaths. The volcano was turned into a furnace where they processed alien junk, smaller versions of the alien machine that Din saw some time ago.


    They had such a huge stockpile of different alien machines that Din easily guessed that they may have started amassing on them from decades ago.


    The psychopaths were hard at work as they worked on the alien machines.


    Apart from the alien machines, there was another department of psychopaths that were focused on creating the powerful Element Bombs.


    These bombs were essential to the Clown Society''s disy of power.


    Alongside the 12 other promising psychopaths that were brought by ck Master Einstein, Din watched quietly with a cold look on his face.


    The next moment, a young psychopath came before the levitating ck Master. "ck Master, Red Master Quinn requests to speak with one of the new promising recruits".


    "You can".


    This was the difference between the Clown Society and the other powers of the world, in here, there was no oppression due to power or authority.


    In the Clown Society, they were all equal. They were just assigned different roles in the organization due to their varying strengths, and every psychopath dly executed his role to liberate the world of the leadership system.


    ck Master Einstein levitated ahead alongside the others.


    Din did not move though; this strange warrior blocked his path.


    With a cold look on his face, Din looked at this strange looking superhuman warrior. Half of his face was normal with silvery white hair and hazel eyes, while the other half seemed to have transformed into an alien.


    Part of this warrior''s face already turned mechanical.


    The warrior grinned as Din looked at him. "I heard you fought my brother".


    "I don''t know your brother". Din replied coldly.


    "My name is Quinn, my twin brother is Legs, the warrior who saved you and your pathetic tribesmen from the hands of the Titans".


    Din looked at this warrior that looked even younger than him without saying a word. From the white hair and hazel eyes, he already knew that Quinn was right but he didn''t deem it necessary to speak with this stranger.


    "You don''t have to keep silent, we''rerades here". Quinn grinned. "My brother is already amon enemy of our organization".


    "He is a piece of shit who got power through dark magic".


    "Is magic real?" Din finally asked.


    "I don''t know but I know that Legs got his power through dark means". Quinn gritted his teeth angrily. "Because of him, my master is dead".


    "Because of him, I could not fulfill my potential".


    "Because of him, the Gwen shelter suffered".


    "Because of him, my girlfriend died".


    He looked up back at Din as his red eyes were now filled with a maniacal desire for revenge. "After I epted our organization, I have only 1 life goal".


    "I live to kill Legs".


    "¡­"


    Din did not reply, but Quinn finally let him go.


    On going deep enough inside the volcano, he saw the other 11 psychopaths who he came with already kneeling before the flowing magma.


    ck Master Einstein was levitating in the skies.


    Din walked faster to join the others.


    As soon as he kneeled, the magma started rumbling as something came out from inside it. It was an alien machine that was shaped like a lizard with a pointed tail like a spear and the facial look of a human.


    The humanoid face of the mechanical lizard grinned on seeing them.


    Clown addressed his new promising psychopaths. "This new form of mine is what freedom and unrestrained imagination can bring".


    "I was once a high-ranking enforcer of the Elementalist Academy, I led research on alien junks, leading the academy to a prosperous era but what was I rewarded with?"


    "I was rewarded with exile".


    "They say I was too crazy, hahaha".


    "They say I was too unrestrained, hahaha, f*ck them!"


    "As a child, I remember having the freedom to do everything that I like, scattering things, destroying things, and breaking tes carefreely".


    "What is the joy in being a child if you can''t even break tes?"


    "From what I hear, children are no longer as free these days".


    "If even a child is no longer free, I can only see a dark future for our race".


    "If another race like the Giants and Titans rise, our crippled system would keep us crippled and would easily lead to our extinction".


    "This is why I took it upon myself to liberate our world".


    "F*ck order!" The mechanical face grinned. "Wee chaos¡­"


    "Chaos where our forefathers started from, chaos where they strived, chaos where freedom reigns, chaos where no one lords over you, chaos where nothing is expected of you but your own expectations, let''s embrace it".


    "Those who wee chaos are psychopaths".


    "But for our future generations, we''ll dly be psychopaths".


    The massive lizard made ominous mechanical sounds as it rose high and spread its front limbs. "Psychopaths, do you believe in our cause?"


    "Yes, Almighty Clown".


    The humanoid face grinned again. "That is all".


    "Rise as Red Masters of the Clown Society".


    In just a few minutes, 12 additional extremely talented Red Masters were added to the cause of the Clown Society.


    The Clown watched proudly as ck Master Einstein led them away.


    "Freedom¡­, I love freedom¡­"


    "Hahaha¡­, I love freedom¡­"

    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    As soon as the rainbow bridge appeared, Legs and his student left to the beast ne. This time though, Legs did not go to where the other beasts were, he intended to leave for this hunt with only 3 of his beasts.


    Leo would naturally follow Christensen, but only Ak, Bran, and Predator would be following. Since this concerned his pack, Warg also tagged along.


    "Don''t we need Brutus to track?"


    "No". Legs turned to face his student. "Another lesson for you, don''t rely too much on a single one of your beasts".


    "If your enemies notice this and cut you off from that beast in battle, it will be too easy for you to die".


    "It''s good to rely on your beasts, but also learn to live without them".


    Legs mounted Predator as he urged the Nightmare Beast to sprint ahead while he lectured his student. "Direwolves are not difficult to find in the beast ne, they mostly live in grasnds and wends hunting for other beasts".


    "Let''s just hope we find one that is moving alone".


    "Trying to subdue a pack of Direwolves is a task too difficult for us now".


    "But won''t that seed in strengthening Ak''s wolf pack faster?"


    Legs paused. "Ak can''t control so many Grade D beasts".


    "But he can learn, he''ll just have to get the hang of it with time".


    Legs was stunned as he looked at Christensen. "You''re getting smarter".


    "Let''s hope to meet a Direwolf pack then".


    Legs sent Bran ahead once they arrived at the nearest grasnd.


    ¡­


    Thud! Thud!


    The sounds of ws hitting the grasnd reverberated as a pack of Grade E Hyenas pursued an injured Deer. These menacing big cats constantly growled andughed as they taunted the Deer who kept yelping in pain.


    Despite its pain, the Deer gave its all to escape for its life.


    The Deer soon ran before a small ditch in the grasnd, without pausing, its long strides enabled it to leap over the ditch.


    The closest Hyena was unable to react on time as it jumped but couldn''tpletely go over the ditch, it fell inside while the other Hyenas circled the ditch to continue their pursuit of the Deer.


    The Hyena that fell into the ditch growled loudly the next moment.


    Before the others could turn to see what was happening, their brother was already in a pool of blood as a pair of sharp teeth dug deep into its neck.


    The Hyena kept on struggling but the massive Direwolf didn''t let go.


    Shocked and angered, the Hyenas were wary but they turned to stand for their brother. They only stood their ground for a few seconds though.


    "Roar!!!"


    A Direwolf that was even more massive than the first roared the next moment. On looking, the Hyenas saw another Direwolf standing beside this one.


    It was a band of 3 Direwolf brothers.


    Without hesitation, the pack of Hyenas turned and ate the dust into the distance, they all escaped without caring about their doomed brother.


    With the wolf gone, the remaining 2 Direwolves went closer as they tore the poor Hyena apart. It died after a few more cries of pain.


    As the Direwolves feasted on the Hyena, a ck raven with golden stripes flew through the sky as its radar eyes saw everything that happened.


    A few distance away, Legs''s eyes shone. "Target found!"

    >???<


    [Remark: A powerful Ice Wolf with leadership qualities and aura.]


    ----


    One look from a distance and Legs knew which one of the 3 Direwolfs was the big brother and was the strongest, it was the massive white Ice Direwolf.


    This was no mere Grade D Direwolf as the qualities of this wolf made it on par with Ak, even exceeding Ak in some base attributes.


    It''s strength surpassed Ak''s which meant a lot in beast battles.


    Ak still had the speed advantage though which was expected of a Wind Wolf. Their other attributes were basically equal including their luck attribute.


    As for the other 2 Direwolves, one of them with blueish white fur was also an Ice Direwolf like their big brother while thest was a Wind Direwolf.


    As soon as Bran saw the 3 Direwolves, Legs ryed the information to his student as he urged Predator to sprint forward the next moment.


    Christensen followed closely behind on top Leo.


    ¡­


    While they still feasted on the Hyena''s meat, the massive White Ice Direwolf that was bigger than the others raised its head as its sensitive ears detected noise.


    "Roar!"


    As soon as he was seen, Predator roared loudly to verify his presence.


    The loud roar startled thest 2 Direwolves as they left the Hyena rapidly in preparation for battle, but Bran was a step ahead of them as the Void Raven rode the wind as smoothly as water flowing down a fountain.


    Before they arrived, Legs already gave Bran the permission to attack.


    And just like its master, Bran enjoyed something simr to infinite mana due to his Void Lord passive ability. This powerful Void Raven didn''t have to think much before attacking, it simply attacked as its instincts led.


    By activating its Rapid Speed ability, its speed increased exponentially.


    Before the 2 Direwolves who were at the back of the wolf formation could react, he already descended close to them as he activated his Iron Feathers ability.


    Whoosh!


    Bran''s ck and golden feathers turned as hard as iron in an instant.


    At a ridiculous speed, they wereunched at the Direwolves who were not fast enough to dodge. The iron feathers dug into their skin, injuring them as the 2 Direwolves howled in pain, attracting the attention of their brother.


    Previously, their eldest brother was focused on Predator who was charging from the front but with their howl of pain, he turned to look.


    Angered on seeing his brothers'' blood flowing, he pounced at Bran.


    Bzzz!


    The massive Ice Direwolf was fast but Bran was faster, he activated Blink.


    Like he was just an illusion, Bran disappeared a fraction of a second before the Direwolf''s deadly teeth dug into its skin.


    Bzzz!


    Instantly after he disappeared, he appeared behind the eldest Direwolf as he fired even more iron feathers at him. Angered, the 3 Direwolf brothers pounced on him but through his blink ability, he evaded all their attacks.


    Bran sessfully toyed with all 3 of them.


    By distracting them singlehandedly, the Direwolves'' opened themselves up to Predator who finally made it to their position excitedly.


    "Roar!" Predator roared and pounced on the nearest Direwolf.


    The blueish white Direwolf tried to struggle but Predator was too tough for it, this Nightmare Beast''s incredible strength was untouchable, Predator toyed with the Direwolf until he left it in a pool of its own blood.


    Ak arrived and added salt to injury, with his incredible speed, he was like an invisible phantom as he harassed the Direwolves, frustrating them more.


    Leo arrived and the battlefield turned even more rowdy and one-sided.


    In 5 minutes, the 3 Direwolves were left in a pool of their own blood.


    Exhausted and weak, theyy on the floor in defeat as they looked at the 2 humans and beasts that surrounded them. The 2 smaller Grade D Direwolves looked at them in fear, but their eldest brother was still angry.


    Legs could feel the rage on the Direwolf''s eyes as it red at them.


    "Awoo!"


    The next moment, Ak stepped forward and howled loudly before them.


    He sessfullymunicated his intention to them as the 2 smaller Direwolves cowered in fear but the eldest Direwolf was not having it.


    "Awoo!"


    He howled back at Ak amid aggressive growls.


    Both wolves kept on growling at each other as theymunicated, then the next moment, Ak turned to face Legs andmunicated the Direwolf''s intentions through their telepathic connection.


    ''He would rather die than submit to me''.


    ''His only condition to submit is if we fight a Vrka yuddha''.


    Legs was perplexed. ''What is a Vrka yuddha?''


    ''It''s an ancient ritual between wolf packs to determine the Alpha. The 2 strongest wolves fight a decisive battle which is called the Vrka yuddha to determine who will be the Alpha of the pack''.


    ''¡­'' Legs was surprised. ''I didn''t put this in the game, is this a variation?''


    Despite his thoughts though he paid attention to Ak. ''He believes he can beat you, what of you? Can you beat him?''


    Ak looked onest time at the Direwolf then at his master. ''I can try''.


    ''Do it then''.


    "Christensen, order Leo to shift back, we''re giving them space".


    As soon as the humans and the other beasts started shifting backwards, the 2 smaller Grade D Direwolves understood as they also gave distance, leaving their eldest brother and the Wind Wolf at the center.


    Looking at the Direwolf''s state, Legs essed his storage ring and brought a potion that he concocted some time ago which he threw at the Direwolf.


    The Direwolf was not suspicious at all, this was an honorable Vrka yuddha.


    As soon as he ingested the potion, his injuries started healing slowly. As he regained his strength, he finally raised his massive body up again as his sharp brown eyes red at the Wind Wolf who also red back at it.


    The Direwolf didn''t even deem it right to thank Legs for the potion, Legs twisted his mouth a bit in displeasure but he kept his silence.


    With the Direwolf up, a standoff started.


    The tension in the air increased as both massive wolves started circling each other. As they sized each other up, they both arrived at a conclusion, they were matched in battle experience and literally everything.


    The oue of this battle was not set in stone.


    Whoosh!


    The Ice Direwolf attacked first.


    A massive icicle materialized in the air directly beside Ak as the icicle shot towards him at point-nk range, it was fast but Ak saw it.


    Even before the icicle materialized, when the atmosphere around him suddenly dropped, Ak reacted as he activated his Wind ws ability.


    Bam!


    With one wind energy-empowered w attack, he swatted at the icicle, shattering it to pieces as he also finally made his move.


    Instantly after Ak swatted the icicle, his body turned into an afterimage.


    Whoosh!


    After activating his Speed Demon active ability, his speed increased so much that he left an afterimage behind as he charged towards the Ice Direwolf.


    Ak was superfast but since he already knew that he was facing a Wind Wolf, the Ice Direwolf''s battle experience made him wary of his opponent''s speed. Instantly after Ak parried his icicle, he erected an ice wall.


    Ak collided against the wall with a loud sound as it shattered into pieces.


    Before he could recover from the collision, the Ice Direwolf''s lethal ws coated with cold ice energy already descended as it wed at his face.


    Blood flowed as the Ice Direwolf drew first blood.


    Ak did not back down, he retaliated aggressively.


    By lunging forward for the w attack, for a brief moment, the Ice Direwolf''s neck became exposed. This exposure time was very short, very few could take advantage of it, only powerful Wind Wolves like Ak could.


    Ak ruthlessly activated his Bite Force ability as he bit aggressively.


    The Ice Direwolf detected the danger but he was too slow to react. He barely saved his neck but Ak''s deadly teeth found his jaws as he bit deep into it.


    Blood flowed as the Ice Direwolf struggled.


    The next moment, from its body came an icicle that pierced straight into Ak''s body, injuring it further. At such point-nk range, Ak could not dodge and knowing this, he had no intentions of dodging.


    Ak gritted his teeth to ignore the pain as he continued his attack.


    After getting his opponent on the jaws, Ak did not let go.


    Crunch!


    His teeth dug deeper into the Ice Direwolf''s jaws as he growled in pain.


    After struggling to free itself to no avail for a few seconds, the Ice Direwolf aroused all its energy in a bid to cover itself with an ice shield but Ak was one step ahead. Having waited for this exact moment, he made his move.


    "Roar!"


    Ak roared as he activated his Nature Call ability.


    The Ice Direwolf was caught off-guard. The hurricane arrived instantly, picking the Ice Direwolf up into the air as the sharp wind energy stored inside it cut dozens of injuries across its body in a mere second.


    Ak deactivated the ability before it could finish.


    The Ice Direwolf growled weakly as it fell to the ground in defeat.


    Ak put one leg on its body before looking straight at its eye.


    "Roar!!!" He roared loudly directly at his face.


    The Ice Direwolf weakly red back at Ak for a few seconds, but he finally relented, a Vrka yuddha is a Vrka yuddha, he admitted defeat.


    As soon as the Direwolf lowered its head, Ak roared again.


    The remaining 2 Direwolves also lowered their heads.

 Chapter 130 Recruiting The Saber-Toothed Tiger

    [3 Direwolves have been added to Ak''s Wolf Pack!]


    ¡­


    [Ak''s Wolf Pack!]


    [Pack Wolves: 5]


    [Alpha Wolf: Wind Wolf- Ak]


    [Beta Wolf: Ice Direwolf- Rogue]


    [No. of Grade D Wolves: 4]


    [No. of Grade E Wolves: 1]


    [No. of Grade F Wolves: 0]


    ----


    Legs was surprised, he never expected the eldest Direwolf to have a name. He looked at the defeated Direwolf. "You have a name?"


    "Yes, my name is Rogue".


    "A Giant once saved my ancestor from a near-death situation and took him in as a pet, he gave him the name".


    The massive Direwolf raised its head proudly. "For many generations, every Direwolf in our family inherited the name".


    "¡­" Legs was well, bbergasted.


    "You mean the other 2 are also¡­"


    "Yes, meet Rogue and Rogue".


    "¡­"


    Legs finally cleared his throat to ease the awkward atmosphere in the air. "So, how long ago is that, since your ancestor was named Rogue?"


    "350 years ago".


    "¡­"


    Legs no longer asked, he was satisfied with what he got.


    In his opinion, the Direwolf hunt was a massive sess. In one fell swoop, he managed to recruit 3 new powerful Grade D Direwolves to Ak''s pack.


    And yes, Grade D beasts were in most cases already intelligent enough to speak themon tongue. All 3 Direwolves could speak themon tongue.


    What didn''t surprise him was the change in the Beta Wolf in Ak''s pack. Since Warg was still just a pinnacle Grade E Dark Wolf, he had to give up his position for the new Direwolf who was undoubtedly the strongest after Ak.


    After the Vrka Yuddha, both Ak and Rogue were exhausted so Legs let them rest as he also sat down alongside his student to rest.


    After sitting down, he threw some mana-recovery pills and health-recovery pills to the wolves and Direwolves to replenish their reserves.


    As they recovered, Legs addressed them.


    "Since the 3 of you are the newest members in Ak''s still small wolf pack, I may perhaps have to refer to any of you in the future so I want to make your names unique to easily identify you".


    "Rogue". Legs pointed at the biggest of the 3 Direwolves. "You shall be Rogue 1, whenever you hear this, know that I''m calling you".


    "Rogue". Legs pointed at the 2nd Ice Direwolf. "You shall be Rogue 2, whenever you hear this, know that I''m calling you".


    "Rogue". Legs pointed at the only Wind Direwolf among the bunch. "You shall be Rogue 3, whenever you hear this, know that I''m calling you".


    After making sure that they understood their new identities, Legs finally revealed their first mission to them. "We didn''t end with you guys".


    "To help build the perfect starting foundation for Ak, I also decided to hunt a Spilodon and everyone knows no other beasts knows Spilodons the way Direwolves do so I need your help to locate a powerful one".


    "You came to the right ce". Rogue 1 replied confidently.


    Unlike Ak, it was already clear that this guy was bolder before Legs, he saw Ak as his alpha, he didn''t see Legs as his master.


    "Those Saber-toothed f*ckers live in the iron mountains".


    "It is the closest mountain range to our current location".


    "And when ites to searching for the right opponent that is powerful enough, I have the perfect candidate¡­, Bone".


    "Who''s Bone?" Legs was curious.


    "Just a stupid Saber-toothed Tiger who thought he could match my glory. He challenged me to battle many times and lost each time, he is a powerful opponent and may even give Alpha Ak some problems".


    Legs raised his eyebrows. "You sound like you admire him, is he so strong and is he your rival?"


    "Me? Never!" The Direwolf was agitated. "He''s a weakling! That despicable trickster fool can never be my rival!"


    "He is not worthy to be my rival".


    "Yeah, I get you". Legs waved the conversation off with a smile.


    The conversation didn''t matter to him, what mattered was that he got his goal and Rogue 1 was about to take him to where he wanted to be.


    As soon as they recoveredpletely, Rogue 1 led the journey as they finally went on their way in search of the Saber-toothed Tiger, Bone.


    Legs, his student, and theirpanions did not spend up to an hour before they were able to capture and recruit the 3 Direwolves.


    There was still more than enough time for them to hunt the Spilodon.


    30 minutester, they arrived at the iron mountains.


    ¡­


    The Iron Mountains was not a mountain range filled with iron.


    It was just a normal mountain range filled with grasnd and vegetation, the only major difference was its rich concentration of metallicponents.


    The ecosystem in the Iron Mountains was diverse, some beasts killed others for fun while others killed for survival as the cycle of life and death continued.


    Somewhere in the Iron Mountains¡­


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A Red Fox shed against a massive Bear in the mountain range.


    Compared to the small Red Fox, the massive Bear was like a mountain but despite its size, it was unable to injure the Red Fox because of its speed and skill.


    The small Red Fox was as fast as the wind as he constantly evaded the attacks of the bigger Bear while asionally counterattacking with its own attacks.


    The Bear roared angrily to no avail as the small Red Fox chipped its vitality away. If this continued, without a doubt, it would lose its life.


    After 9 minutes of a grueling battle, the Bear finally lost its stamina.


    Unable to keep up with the intensity, the Red Fox ran riot across its body as it now boldly inflicted sever injuries all over its body.


    The Bear roared to no avail as it started bleeding its life away.


    At thest moment before the Red Fox couldnd the killing blow, an orange silhouette briefly passed above it, the silhouette of a Saber-toothed Tiger.


    The Red Fox growled once before it quickly turned into painful whimpers.


    In its moment of glory after defeating the massive Bear, its ecstasy reached the peak as it intended to deal the finishing blow to the Bear, but it''s excitement briefly made it lose track of its surroundings.


    This was the opening which Bone had been anticipating for 6 minutes.


    Crunch!


    One terrible bite to the neck and a death roll, the Red Fox gave up the ghost. Bone was not satisfied with that though as he also ended the Bear''s life.


    Bone was the only one in the Iron Mountains who was despicable enough to do this. In one smooth nefarious act, he killed 2 Grade D beasts without any injury.


    "Fools". He muttered as he bit into the flesh of the dead Red Fox. "They always lose themselves at thest moment, too easy to kill".


    As Bone dug in again, his ears suddenly stood erect not because he heard a sound but because he detected a familiar presence.


    Whoosh!


    Bone jumped swiftly out of the danger before the sharp icicle hit.


    The icicle stabbed into the dead Red Fox as in an instant, its whole body froze. On seeing this, Bone roared as he knew who this was.


    "Fool, you never get tired after so many defeats".


    "You must be a masochist".


    "Shut up b*tch". Rogue 1 roared as he jumped from his hiding ce. "Don''t you think your petty tricks are going to work this time".


    "My petty tricks allowed me to beat you 34 times, they can again".


    Rogue 1 roared angrily. "This time, you''re about to die".


    Rogue 2 and Rogue 3 appeared at this exact same moment as they attacked with their ice and wind powers but having anticipated them, Bone was able to dodge them all as he finallynded gracefully.


    Bone no longer responded, he responded with his actions.


    With a shake of his body, the soil briefly shook before metallic particles started rising from it. The next moment, metallic spikes were formed in the air.


    Bone''s beast affinity was metal which evolved from earth affinity.


    The soil had metal elements such as Copper, Iron, Manganese, Nickel, and Zinc. In this mountain, by tapping at the metallic elements of the soil, Bone was able to create powerful metals that moved and fought following his will.


    Whoosh!


    All the metals shot towards the 3 Direwolves but they were prepared.


    Like usual when the 3 brothers were together, Bone simply used the metals to distract them, his intention was to escape. This shrewd Saber-toothed Tiger had no intentions of fighting an unrewarding 1 on 3 battle with the Direwolves.


    This time was different though, he could not escape.


    "Roar!"


    It barely turned to escape when a massive ck beast pounced on it from its hiding spot, having bid his time, Predator''s pounce was deadly.


    Predator was fast and his timing was impable, but Bone dodged.


    It barely dodged only to meet an artificially induced hurricane. Bone''s eyes widened in horror as he wondered what sin that hemitted to attract so many enemies, he wriggled his way out of the hurricane though.


    ? He still could not escape, he wriggled his way out to meet Bran''s Iron Feathers. The feathers injured him, pushing him back into the hurricane.


    Once he was caught within the hurricane, it was over for him.


    By the time that the hurricane was done with him, he was left in a pool of his own blood and when he opened his eyes, enemies surrounded him.


    Ak looked down at this Saber-toothed Tiger intimidatingly. "Give up¡­"


    Bone interrupted him. "Chill bro, you win".


    "You really think I''m a stupid egocentric fool like Rogue? You got Rogue, and from what I just witnessed, I stand no chance against you lot".


    "Tell me what to do, I surrender".


    "¡­"


    Not only Ak, despite hearing about Bone''s personality from Rogue already, Legs was still shocked at the swift decision of this beast.


    Legs was intimidated at this beast''s decision making. Despite how powerful he was, Bone was able to analyze the strength of his enemies in mere seconds to arrive at the conclusion that he stood no chance.


    This feat required courage and incredible decision-making speed and skills.


    "Ummm¡­, join my wolf pack". Ak stammered.


    "Done".


    -----


    [A Saber-toothed Tiger have been added to Ak''s Wolf Pack!]


    ----


    Legs was stunned. "That¡­, that was too easy".

 Chapter 131 Akelas Mission; The Tribe Warriors Mission

    -----


    [A Saber-toothed Tiger have been added to Ak''s Wolf Pack!]


    ¡­


    [Ak''s Wolf Pack!]


    [Pack Wolves: 6]


    [Alpha Wolf: Wind Wolf- Ak]


    [Beta Wolf: Ice Direwolf- Rogue]


    [No. of Grade D Wolves: 5]


    [No. of Grade E Wolves: 1]


    [No. of Grade F Wolves: 0]


    ----


    Despite Bone''s smooth integration into the pack as one of Ak''s wolf subordinates, Rogue 1 was still un-dethroned as the Beta Wolf.


    Though Bone always emerged the victor whenever these 2 enemies shed, their base attributes were more or less evenly matched.


    And adding the fact that Rogue 1 joined Ak''s pack before he did, it exined the reason why Bone didn''t be the next Beta Wolf.


    Ak was stunned for a long time at Bone''s willing eptance.


    Rogue 1 was not though, this massive Direwolf was unwilling to ept the shamelessness of his rival. He roared agitatedly as he questioned. "Have you no shame?"


    ? "What?" The massive Spilodon turned to look at him uninterestedly.


    Bone''sck of interest riled Rogue 1 up even more, his rage exploded. "How dare you say what? How can you surrender so easily?"


    "Don''t you have any pride as a beast?!"


    "Don''t you have any respect for your bloodline?!"


    "Your ancestors will be so disappointed!"


    "Oh, they will? Good thing they''re not here".


    "¡­"  Rogue 1 was stunned.


    "You mother*cker!" He roared and charged at the massive Spilodon.


    "Stand down!"


    Ak''s authoritative voice reverberated the next moment before they could sh. Bing part of his pack was not just in words, like indicated in the virtual interface, nature already recorded it that they were now Ak''s subordinates.


    Ak''s words were now orders and likew to them.


    This was not something that could be forced but Ak was a natural leader.


    Hearing the Alpha Wolf''s deep authoritative voice silenced the 2 bickering wolves, Rogue 1 and Bone stopped as they kept on ring at each other.


    Ak addressed them. "Since you joined my pack, the first mission for the 2 of you under my leadership is getting along".


    "What? I can''t¡­!"


    "No excuses!" Ak said in a tone of finality.


    Even Legs and Christensen felt goosebumps as they heard Ak like this.


    Like ghosts, they watched the talking wolves, seeing wolves speaking themon tongue was definitely no regr urrence. Neither was seeing Grade D beasts a regr urrence; the same way Legs was not normal.


    Achieving so much since turning 15 was borderline ridiculous.


    As Legs watched his contracted beast ease the tension between the Direwolf and the Saber-toothed Tiger, for some reason, he felt a sense of deep pride and contentment welling in his heart.


    This was a feeling that he secretly felt recently around Christensen.


    This was the feeling that a father felt after giving his best to train his child and the child ended up exceeding his expectations.


    Ak''s leadership qualities exceeded his expectations.


    In just a few seconds, both beasts made a temporary peace pact.


    Legs smiled as he thought. ''This is already impressive enough, making a Direwolf and a Spilodon hunt asrades is really a peculiar sight''.


    ''Making both of them make permanent peace will perhaps be Ak''s greatest task in building his wolf pack".


    Legs''s smile widened because his mission was a massive sess.


    He set out alongside his student and Predator to create the perfect foundation to grow for Ak, he couldn''t have hoped for a better oue.


    Once Ak was done, with him in the lead, all the new wolves in his pack including Warg came before Legs as they bowed their heads respectfully.


    Legs went closer and rubbed Ak''s fur. "You did good".


    He looked at all the wolves before addressing them. "Since the perfect foundation for growth is established, I will be giving you a special mission".


    "Wolves are powerful beasts, you shall be my main army".


    "As a Summoner who took the Shepherd route, I need a beast army".


    "I entrust that task to you". Legs looked pointedly at Ak.


    "In the beast ne, some beasts most especially powerful wolves have their own territory. Only the strongest Grade D beasts and Grade C beasts are qualified to have territories with thousands of beasts under their rule".


    "Ak". Legs''s voice turned serious. "You have the foundation now, so here is my mission for you, get your own territory".


    "Expand and be the Alpha of a thousand Wolves".


    "Achieve this and be my right-hand man, be my battle spear, and be my main army".


    "Are you willing to ept this mission?"


    Legs could impose this mission on his contracted beast but he decided to go for a change, he waited to hear Ak''s opinion.


    Ak didn''t reply with words, he replied with a howl.


    "Awoo!"


    As soon as their Alpha howled, all the other wolves also howled.


    The howls merged together into a symphonic melody that rang like the sounds of battle songs and war drums being beat in preparation for war.


    Legs didn''t need words, he got his answer.


    He smiled. "I trust you".


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Legs opened the rainbow bridge as he finally bade his goodbye to Ak and his new subordinates. Alongside his student, Leo, and Predator, they made their way back to their settlement in the Kong tribe territory.


    On returning, it was already the early hours of the morning as they spent long hours in the beast ne but the darkness of the night still reigned.


    The beast ne had a different build and structure to Darvis.


    Due to the violet skies of the beast ne, there was not much difference between night and day and was why they were able to fulfill their mission.


    Since it was already morning, they no longer had the opportunity to sleep.


    So they simply meditated to while away the time.


    Apart from meditating, Christensen also studied the Intermediate Summoner knowledge. Despite his training with his mastering to an end already, he remained diligent in following his teachings.


    He was just a few more epiphanies away frompletely learning the Enhanced Leadership intermediate summoner knowledge.


    A few hourster, as the day dawnedpletely, heralding the first signs of the golden sun, a horn sound reverberated across the settlement.


    For the first time in weeks, the Kong tribe was experiencing a beast attack.


    Legs and Christensen did not stay idle, they joined the group of valiant warriors as they went out to push back, kill, and hunt the invading beasts.


    No matter how Darvis seemed safe at the moment, this was still a that survived a beast apocalypse. The beasts may not be as dangerous as before but their danger was still very much alive.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    ----


    With the bonuses that his Combat Master ability gave, Legs always had a ce among the vanguard protectors who protected the territory.


    And with Predator alongside him, he had nothing to fear.


    Christensen followed closely behind him on top Leo who was still trying to adapt to life in the desert. Despite the odds, as a Golden bloodline Frost Wolf, Leo was stronger than normal and was already slowly recovering his powers.


    He still could not conjure sharp icicles and massive ice balls, but with a bit of effort, he could now change the temperature to favor himself.


    "ROAR!"


    Enthusiastic as ever, Predator joined this battle as directly as possible.


    From the skies, Bran didn''t attack, he was given an important mission by his master. Against a Giant Ant Swarm like this, stopping them was impossible since their numbers was simply ridiculous.


    The only way to stop them was assassinating their Queen.


    Captain Aegon and the other champions among the protectors already charged into the fray without fear as they sought out the Ant Queen.


    They simply charged in without direction as they tried their luck to find her, as for Legs, he took less than a minute to do the same. Once he activated his Eye of the Truth ability, Bran easily located the Ant Queen.


    Through their telepathic rtionship, Branmunicated to his master.


    The Ant Queen was massive, towering as tall as a human''s waist with a naturally made golden crown endowing her head as her antennas waved wildly.


    She had a Legion of Ants with mutated golden armor protecting her.


    As soon as he saw this, Legs alerted Captain Aegon.


    After alerting the Captain, he urged Predator to ride faster as he finally unsheathed his Giantsbane from its sheath. As soon as he held the sword while Predator charged towards the Legion of Ants, his virtual interface lit up.


    -----


    Weapon Ability has been triggered: Giant''s Might!


    ----


    A growl like that from a giant reverberated the next moment as soon as the weapon ability triggered, then on top Predator, Legs started slicing apart.


    Whoosh!


    The de edge of the sword was sharp, it simply met no obstacles as it cut through the legion of armored Ants like they were not there.


    The slicing sounds were like those of knife effortlessly slicing through Tofu.


    In just a minute after Legs bulldozed his way in, the Ant Queen was exposed. She had nobat ability, she was more like Ak but a more extreme one as all her abilities were focused on augmenting her subordinates.


    She was exposed but not dying yet, all the armored Ants went crazy as they tried kamikaze attacks on him without giving a damn about their lives.


    This was when Captain Aegon came into y.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    This powerful Pugilist punched his way in and his fiery fists kept the armored Titans at bay until Legs finally sliced the Ant Queen''s head off.


    -----


    You have killed a Grade D Ant Queen: Mother Variant!


    You have gained 14,000 Experience Points!


    ----


    With the Ant Queen dead, the frightened Ants retreated to their holes.


    As they retreated in their numbers, Captain Aegon turned to look at Legs. "It''s time tomence our mission".

 Chapter 132 The Clown Societys Breakthrough

    For a long time, Ak was used to having weak subordinates.


    Since bing Legs''s contracted beast, his life changed in numerous ways. By leaching on Predator''s brilliance, he became a Grade D beast, something that seemed extremely elusive to him before.


    In so doing, he easily exceeded Warg who was once his superior.


    Originally, he thought that bing Legs''s contracted beast was the worst urrence of his life but in hindsight, this was a blessing in disguise.


    He literally fulfilled all his life goals already since bing Legs''s beast.


    At a young age, he once dreamt of bing an Alpha Wolf who led his own pack but due to thepetition around, he could not fulfill his dream.


    This changed after he met Legs.


    The same thing for his Grade D dream, it was every beast''s dream to be as powerful as possible despite limited talent and he was no exception.


    Again, due to meeting Legs, he fulfilled this dream.


    This was his reasons for his unwavering loyalty to his master. On that fateful day that Legs made him the leader of his own pack, bestowing him with supernatural abilities, he vowed to help his master fulfill his dreams.


    This was why he worked so hard.


    Despite leading a pack of a single Grade E beast with dozens of Grade F beasts, he still strived as he did his beast to expand the pack.


    Despite trying his best though, without strength, what he could do was limited and it showed when his master finally needed his pack in battle.


    All his Wolf Pack was good for was bing canon fodder.


    On seeing his wolves dying so easily, Ak did not just mourn their death, he mourned his incapability also since he just failed his master when it mattered the most. He expected to be med and punished, definitely not rewarded.


    When Legs decided to help him build the perfect foundation for his Wolf Pack, he was moved to tears, he vowed to follow Legs for life.


    Of course, the contract already bound him to follow his master for life but the beast''s willingness to follow meant a lot to the master in the long run.


    Ak was determined to serve Legs for life.


    This was why he took his new mission extremely seriously. His master alreadyid the perfect foundation for him, he could not afford to fail again.


    He must not fail.


    After putting a temporary end to the rivalry between his Beta Wolf and Bone, the Saber-toothed Tiger, he finally asked for their opinion.


    "You heard my master, what do you know about Wolf territories?"


    Rogue 1 was the one who answered first like he was in a rush to answer before Bone did. "I know everything about Wolf territories".


    He secretly red at Bone who sneered in reply.


    "Tell me".


    All the wolves gathered around their Alpha as Rogue 1 exined.


    "Only veteran Grade D Wolves who have proven themselves in countless battles and wars are qualified to rule over a thousand wolves".


    "Without those criteria, the wolves would refuse to follow them".


    "Most of them are Grade D Wolves who are extremely close to the Grade C realm already, they are all extremely dangerous opponents".


    "There are rumors that some are even Grade C Wolves already and that they rule over a pack of over 10,000 Wolves".


    Once Rogue 1 stopped, Ak asked. "Did you say to be a ruler of a Wolf territory, you need to be proven in countless wars? What does that mean?"


    "Wolves hunt and kill, we are wild beasts, and we fight even more among ourselves. There are thousands of Wolf wars written in our history".


    "In these wars, there are champion wolves and those that kill other champions and end up winning the war are the ones eligible to lead territories".


    "Does that mean I need to win a war before wolves follow me?"


    "Yes".


    Ak narrowed his eyes. "Do you know the location of any wolf territory?"


    "Yes, the closest is not too far from here, a half day''s journey".


    "Take me there".


    "Yes, Alpha Ak".


    Without any hesitation, Rogue 1 turned to lead the charge away from this location as a group of 6 wolves sprinted across the beast ne.


    Ak was determined to do anything to fulfill his master''s mission.


    ¡­


    "Fill the trenches with the ck bombs!"


    "Do not let the Titans go any further!"


    "Stand your ground and fight!"


    "Fight for your children!"


    "Fight for your families!"


    "Ahhh¡­" Warriors roared as they fought against the massive Titans.


    Despite receiving information from the 8 major tribes about the weaknesses of the Titans already, these enemies were just too big and powerful. Against them, the warriors of the smaller tribes barely stood a chance.


    Most were not fast enough to try out-speeding the Titans to get to their heads and shatter their crystals, so this resulted in a pitiful scene in this settlement.


    The warriors simply roared and ran to their death.


    Their weapons though powerful only gave the Titans surface injuries which didn''tst, the sight of the injuries which they spent so much effort inflicting on the Titans recovering so fast left them in even more despair.


    Their Commander and his words was the only reason why they didn''t desert the battle yet, they were ready to suffer and die rather than let their wives and children suffer the same fate, this was why they persevered.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The stomps and punches from the Titans leveled their small buildings, reducing it to rubble and dust as the shockwaves killed even more warriors.


    The warriors of this tribe were mostly hunters, they were used to hunting beasts and not giant humanoids. They fared pitifully against the Titans.


    There was only a single Warrior Titan leading this raid, and standing on its shoulders were 3 Red Masters of the Clown Society.


    This Warrior Titan was different from the others.


    "Lancelot, urge the Titans to level this vige faster".


    "Will you guys shut up already?" A voice came from inside the Titan.


    Inside this Warrior Titan was unlike the others, this was a Warrior Titan whose crystal already got shattered by warriors of the Vanguard Team.


    Inside its chest was a mechanical chair like a throne, and from the mechanical throne, wires extended all over the body of the dead Titan, acting as its nerve lines through which this psychopath controlled the 10-meter tall Titan.


    This was a prototype of a recent breakthrough by the Clown Society, they seeded in learning more about the use of alien machines.


    On hearing him roar at them, the 3 other Red Masters didn''t take it lightly. "You think you''re almighty now because you''re riding a Titan right?"


    "Wait till we get ours, we''ll see who will gloat then".


    The warrior inside the Titan gritted his teeth. "Do you guys really know we''re at war? Keep your eyes on the battle, enemies cane at any moment".


    "Your wariness is so annoying at times, you literally have a Warrior Titan".


    Lancelot ignored them. "We need to stop those evacuating tribesmen".


    The next moment, without waiting for their reply, he finally started controlling the gigantic Warrior Titan like it was an extension of his body.


    The feeling was strange at first but as he started sprinting, it slowly eased into his brain and the feeling no longer felt much different from when he was running with his body.


    Feeling the explosive power that was within his grasp through controlling this body, his eyes burned fervently. "The Almighty Clown is our savior".


    "He is my only hope of avenging father".


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    Even as the warriors of this small tribe were ughtered, they still persevered. It was when they heard the louder thudding sounds that they despaired, Civilian Titans could not run, only Warrior Titans could.


    "For the evacuation, women and children first!"


    "Women and children first!"


    The warriors coordinating the evacuation yelled orders faster as the Warrior Titan came closer, the other warriors could not stop its momentum.


    In no time, it arrived before them.


    The Warrior Titan was unstoppable as it stomped on and destroyed most of the carts that were about to ferry the civilians to safety.


    In his rampage, he suddenly felt his danger sense tingle.


    On looking at the skies, he saw a ck raven with golden stripes.


    Whoosh!


    Looking at the skies distracted him, Captain Aegon activated his Energy Burst Pugilist ability as like a meteorite, he mmed towards the Warrior Titan''s head.


    Having fought against them before, he knew how to deal with them now.


    Boom!


    One powerful punch from him tore deep inside the Warrior Titan''s head but no crystal shattered, or better still, the crystal was already shattered.


    Lancelot was horrified at the strength and experience disyed by this tribe warrior, he was about to retaliate when he heard the roars of other warriors.


    On looking down, he saw a familiar face, a face that had been dominating the bounty list of the Clown Society for the past few weeks.


    "The Sexy Chocte!"


    Without hesitation, the Warrior Titan turned to escape.


    The process of escaping was rough as the 3 Red Masters in its back were flung away in the process, despite Legs and the other warriors'' attempts, they were unable to stop this Titan as it escaped sessfully.


    The Warrior Titan escaped but the small desert vige was saved as all the remaining survivors were able to evacuate with their help.


    When the battle was over, Captain Aegon turned to look at Legs.


    "What was that Titan?"

 Chapter 133 The Main Character Of Version 1; Blade, The Precision Pugilist!

    "What was that Titan?"


    Captain Aegon grabbed and supported one of the 3 psychopath''s face on his left cheek before smacking the right cheek as he questioned them.


    The warrior coughed blood as he lost a few teeth in the process.


    Facing that Warrior Titan literally overturned everything that Captain Aegon thought he knew about the undead Titans already and was why he was so desperate and adamant to know the truth.


    With 2 other warriors of the Vanguard Squad apanying him, he interrogated the 3 Red Masters of the Clown Society that they captured.


    While he did this, Legs took care of the evacuating vigers.


    Before they left, he distributed an oily substance to all of them. "Rub these in your carts, they mask your scents from the Undead Titans".


    "Hopefully, with them, you can locate another safe ce to settle on".


    The Tribe Chief of this small tribe told his tribe warriors to distribute the oily substance as he took one for himself. "What is it''s name?"


    "It doesn''t have a name yet so I think I should give it one".


    Legs slightly inclined his head to look at Brutus who still had his arrogant demeanor, he was responsible for creating this substance that masked scents.


    As more time passed, the more Legs felt that the risk that he took to get this beast for his student was worth it. Brutus was the real deal.


    He turned back to look at the Tribe Chief. "Let''s call it Brutus Lotion".


    "Hmm, Brutus Lotion, it''s a nice name".


    The old tribe chief patted Legs on the shoulders the next moment as he sighed. "Young man, we owe you our lives, this is something that me and my tribe will never forget".


    "If you ever need our help in the future, don''t hesitate to ask".


    Legs was not overly polite, he smiled. "I will ask if the time everes".


    "Good".


    The Tribe Chief finally turned to lead the survivors of his tribe away.


    As Legs looked at the departing backs of these warriors, he suddenly asked the tribe chief. "Won''t you really consider evacuating to another tribe settlement, any of the major tribes until the Titan disaster passes?"


    The Tribe Chief turned to look at him. "They''ve absolved smaller tribes countless times in the past, I don''t want to take the risk".


    "As the tribe chief, it is my obligation to keep my tribe''s identity".


    "We were born and bred in the desert, we can survive".


    "We''ll find our ce; the desert is so big after all".


    This old man smiled before entering one of the big pulling carts. As soon as he entered, the warriors riding the Mutated Desert Horses urged them to move.


    In a few minutes, the small vige tribe were gone from their previous settlement. Legs finally turned to return to Captain Aegon with the other warriors of the Vanguard Squad that helped with the evacuation.


    On returning, he met Captain Aegon interrogating the 3 war prisoners.


    Smack!


    "What was that Titan?!"


    Captain Aegon roared as he wacked this warrior on the cheek again. His cheeks were already as red as a potato from all the ps, but this psychopath was still fervent as heughed maniacally.


    "Hahaha¡­" He spit at Aegon. "F*ck you!"


    "You¡­!"


    "That''s not how you do it". Legs spoke the next moment as he walked closer to the 3 psychopaths. "Leave it to me".


    He knelt beside the war prisoner, smiled at him before asking. "What was that Titan?"


    Pfft¡­!


    He was about to spit again but Legs was faster as he grabbed his lips tightly, he shook his head. "No¡­, that''s viting my terms".


    He pped and motioned at his contracted beast. "Predator,e over".


    Predator obeyed as he came over, the next moment, his massive body was hovering before this war prisoner as Legs carried the prisoner up the next moment.


    Since his hands and feet were tied, he could only struggle.


    "Open your mouth".


    Predator opened his massive and dangerous maws.


    Legs carefully put this warrior''s head inside Predator''s opened maws so carefully that he was not injured, then he looked him straight in the eye.


    "Predator here is a Nightmare Beast".


    "If you''re as intelligent as you look, then you''ll know a bit about them".


    Legs nodded. "Yes, Nightmare Beasts have incredible dark affinity and powers, inside Predator''s maws and stomach is extremely corrosive".


    This psychopathughed. "Hahaha¡­, do you think I''m afraid of death?"


    "No". Legs smiled. "But you''re afraid of a slow and painful death".


    Legs''s smile grew wider. "Predator has so much control over his body that he can close his mouth with your head inside without biting your head off".


    "Do you know what happens when Predator close his mouth with your head inside?" He grinned. "The corrosive energy works and your head starts eating away while you''re still alive".


    "Have you experienced such pain before?" Legs tsked. "I definitely wouldn''t choose to undergo such pain and agony though".


    "After 1 minute, your head will start decaying while you''re still alive".


    This psychopath started shuddering.


    "After 5 minutes¡­"


    "I will talk! I will talk!"


    "Really?"


    "Yes! I promise!"


    "What was that Titan?"


    "It is a dead Titan that your people already fought and shattered its crystal, but our research team with the Almighty Clown had a recent breakthrough".


    "Through alien machine, they could make us ride the Titans".


    "One of ourrades was the one who rode that Titan".


    "Where does he stay inside the Titan?"


    "In its stomach, that is where the machine to control the Titan is".


    "Good boy". Legs patted the psychopath on the head.


    He turned to face Captain Aegon and smiled. "And that''s how you interrogate psychopaths, know their strength and weaknesses and gnaw at that weakness no matter how small it is".


    "What if he didn''t speak till the end?"


    "Then the other 2 will". Legs looked at them. "Looking at their friend''s miserable death, they would definitely break".


    "M-my head!" The psychopath finally gathered his strength to speak as he stammered amid tears slowly pouring down his eyes.


    "Oh, I almost forgot".


    Rex dragged him down from Predator''s mouth before patting Predator who purred contentedly. As he dragged the psychopath down, he apologized.


    "My bad, I lied the other time".


    He chuckled. "The part about your head decaying after 1 minute inside Predator''s mouth was made up. Did you really believe that sh*t?"


    "¡­"


    He ignored the traumatized psychopath and dragged him to one side before turning to face the others. "What he said, was there any lie?"


    "No, I swear on my life!" Both of them replied at the same time.


    "Good". Legs replied and grabbed the hilt of his sword.


    Shing!


    One smooth sh from him beheaded all 3 psychopaths at the same time, he cleaned the blood from the de with the shirt of the closest psychopath before sheathing it back. Then he finally turned to face Captain Aegon.


    At this moment, this Captain had a bbergasted look on his face as he looked at him then at the 3 corpses thatid on the floor.


    "What? You thought I''ll spare their lives?"


    "Giving them a quick death is the best mercy that they can receive". Legs replied nonchntly. "Look at the vige, what do you see?"


    "Death and destruction, they killed children, old men and women".


    "They''re already beyond redemption, besides, they are psychopaths".


    He patted Captain Aegon''s shoulder. "Look, if we left them alive, what do you think they''ll do after we leave? They''ll do every everything in their means to send message of our presence to their superiors to earn hero points".


    "Would you rather let more of your warriors die to the enemies due to your indecision to end the life of your enemies?"


    "Be good to yourrades, be ruthless to your enemies".


    "That is the way to survive in the super world".


    Captain Aegon silently looked at him for a few more seconds before looking away, then he asked. "What do you think of that Titan?"


    "It''s exactly as they said, we need to follow it".


    "After sighting us, the best possible cause of action is to go to where the leader of this operation to wipe out the small tribes is".


    "This means that we''ll likely meet their leader if we follow him".


    "Let''s follow him then".


    The warriors soon got prepared as they mounted the carts who were soon pulled away by the tamed beasts of the Kong tribe.


    As they left, through the map of the desert, Captain Aegon confirmed that their probable destination was the strongest of the small tribes, the Hero Tribe.


    On hearing this name, Legs felt both dread and excitement. The Hero Tribe was the tribe where the main character of Version 1 came from, de, the Precision Pugilist.


    In his previous life, de was the only survivor of the Hero Tribe. Not only that, he was the only survivor of all the Desert Tribes.


    This kid that was currently 17 years old was his target.


    As the main character who dealt the killing blow to end the Clown, Legs would be a fool not to remember him.


    Back in his previous life, every single yer knew this NPC. Strong, fierce, unrelenting, and principled, he was an unstoppable force of nature.


    Having gone against him multiple times in raid teams alongside other yers which all ended in overwhelming defeats, this was the reason for his dread.


    As for his excitement, it was because he was about to embark on the difficult mission of recruiting this main character into his faction.


    The rush of excitement at the feat made him feel high.


    ''I''m so curious about the result, can I win him over?''

 Chapter 134 The Saber Twins; Max And Maggie

    "Maintain the evacuation efforts!"


    "Stop all the Titans that are trying to break off to the evacuation point!"


    "Keep the defensive perimeter steady!"


    "We shall protect our vige with our lives!"


    Unlike the Tribe Chief of most tribes in the desert, the tribe chief of the Hero tribe was still a middle-aged warrior in his prime.


    Elmort Dale was the tribe head of the Hero tribe. He was a bulky Pugilist with white hair, massive chest, and he wielded a war Axe as his weapon of choice.


    He led the offensive to defend his vige against the Clown Society.


    Thud! Thud!


    The sounds of the Titans moving through the vige reverberated as the ground kept on shaking like an earthquake was about to swallow the vige.


    After their secret was discovered by the Vanguard Squad, the Clown Society no longer cared much about staying hidden. They became more open as they sent squads of psychopaths to apany and lead the Titan raids.


    A squad of psychopaths also led this Titan raid.


    Since the Hero tribe was the strongest of the vige tribes, the 2 leaders of the operation to wipe off the vige tribes came personally to wipe off this vige.


    They were twins, Max and Maggie, 2 notorious Red Masters of the Clown Society. Both were Elementalists, whereas one of them was an Earth Elementalist, the other was a Fire Elementalist and their battle synergy was off the charts.


    They led the offensive against the Hero tribe that was proving sessful so far. Both of them stood on the shoulders of a Warrior Titan that was controlled by one of theirs, and from there, they controlled the battle.


    2 other Warrior Titans followed their lead as they brainlessly ughtered the warriors of the Hero tribe that tried to oppose their ess to the evacuating civilians, like all other tribes, the children and women evacuated first.


    Every man that could hold a sword all joined the battle.


    "8-man Pugilist Combo- 12 Tigram Hits!"


    "Stay on me!"


    "Let the Elementalists and Summoners support!"


    After being stopped numerous times already, one of the Warrior Titans finally gathered momentum and started charging towards the civilians again.


    Elmort Dale was prepared as he rallied his warriors behind him.


    With his massive War Axe, he stood at the front of the Pugilist Combo formation as he roared loudly before erupting and jumping at the beast.


    The Titan tried to block its head but he was faster.


    Boom!


    The War Axe hit as the aggressive Pugilist energy cut its hand off. The Warrior Titan attacked with his free hand but as a veteran, Elmort Dale expected it as he focused his Pugilist energy on his leg and sprinted across the arm of the Titan.


    As soon as the hand was cut off, all the other 7 Pugilists executing thebo with him erupted as they attacked the massive Titan from its blind spots.


    The Elementalists spammed AOE attacks while the Summoners sent their beasts to tie the Titan down, this time, Elmort aimed to kill this Titan.


    Max and Maggie were in the process of rescuing the Warrior Titan when another Warrior Titan came running towards this territory from afar.


    They stopped to look at him, this was when the Blue Master who had been controlling this Warrior Titan told them what happened in the previous vige.


    As soon as they heard the name ''the Sexy Chocte'' and ''the Vanguard Squad'', they raised their guard up as they decided to elerate things.


    The achievements of the Vanguard Squads left them wary. A squad that survived ck Master Einstein''s wrath was not something that they wanted to mess with.


    They turned to look at the battlefield between the Warrior Titans and the tribe warriors, the Titan was already down after its crystal was shattered with the tribe chief''s Axe but not after they suffered 5 casualties.


    The Warrior Titans were just that strong.


    At other parts of the vige, a ughter was on as the Titans feasted on the vigers. Some civilians already evacuated but there was still a lot more.


    Max, the male of the twins with red hair gave new orders. "We''re elerating our job here, let''s enter the battle and end this fa?ade".


    Like they said, they meant it, they joined the battle.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    As soon as the twin Red Masters joined with the new Warrior Titan, the ughter elerated as a blood river was left in their wake.


    With blood all over his body, Elmort Dale fought with his warriors bravely.


    Suddenly, he heard a voice, a voice that he least wanted to hear right now.


    "Father, I want to help!"


    The 18-year-old son of Elmort Dale, Arthur Dale was responsible for the evacuation efforts but as soon as his mother was evacuated, he returned to support his father. He hated to be at the rear while others fought the battle for him.


    At the rear, he already watched as his friends fought and died. He watched as his father''s friends that he was close with also died, all these ignited his anger and he could not bear to stay at the rear any longer.


    "I told you to hold the rear!" Elmort roared at his son angrily.


    "We''ll all die, we''ve already rescued those that we can". Arthur roared back at his father. "You said every man should fight, I am a man!"


    "I will fight and die with my family!"


    With his one-handed sword, Arthur''s Pugilist energy red powerfully as he charged into this battlefield like a meteorite, rapidly ughtering Titans.


    He ignored his father and did as he willed.


    As a Grade D Pugilist already like his father, he was powerful.


    As soon as they saw him, morale rose among the vige''s warriors.


    "The de is here!"


    "de is here!"


    Elmort was renowned in battle as the Axe, while his son, the future tribe chief of the Hero tribe already built a name for himself in battle as de.


    de sliced his way in, killing 2 Titans in the process as he stood beside his father who already grew tired of trying to send his son away.


    In the end, Elmort Dale got resigned to his fate.


    "Let us die together then". He led his charge to the 2 Red Masters.


    Together on top the Warrior Titan that carried them, Max and Maggie both wrath destruction on their enemies as they ughtered them.


    "Elementalist Ability: Fiery Spears!"


    "Elementalist Ability: Earth Bullets!"


    "Max and Maggie Specialty: Flowing Lava!"


    Bam! Bam!


    Destruction followed them as they rode this Warrior Titan.


    Despite trying their best, neither Axe nor de could do much as by the second, theirpanions became lesser and lesser. One at a time, the 2 twin Red Masters picked them off like a fisherman picking his prey.


    By now, the lucky among the civilians already escaped as the rest were cut off by the Titans who already started feasting on their flesh.


    After a battle thatsted 4 hours, Hero tribe was about to fall.


    "Ahhh¡­" de roared as he kept on shing with his sword.


    Boom!


    A stomp from the massive Titan destabilized them as the next moment, the massive Warrior Titan bent down and picked up the tribe chief.


    The Titan squeezed his hand in a bid to crush the warrior as Axe looked at his son onest time. "Remember the prophecy¡­"


    Before the Titan could squeeze, the air shifted rapidly.


    Whoosh!


    A familiar Void Raven flew through the air rapidly before unleashing its Iron Feathers, Bran also used his Void Spears ability as they tore the hand of the Titan.


    As Axe fell, another Pugilist, a strange one arrived as he jumped into the air. Like an acrobat, Captain Aegon smoothly rescued the tribe chief.


    He turned to the surviving warriors. "Reinforcements are here".


    From the back as the warriors of the Vanguard Squad charged into the battlefield, Legs looked at the 2 Elementalists as his eyes narrowed.


    "Max and Maggie!"

 Chapter 135 Legolass Power Show

    On top Predator, Legs led the charge towards the Titans.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    The Saber Twins, Max and Maggie were 2 of the most notorious of the Red Masters of the Clown Society that he remembered from his previous life.


    As soon as he saw them, he knew that his time was now.


    In his previous life, the whole Hero tribe was annihted, leaving only de alive whom they recognized his talent. The Clown Society took him back in a bid to turn him into one of theirs which became their worst decision ever.


    In this world now, due to his interruption, history already changed. de''s father was still alive, including some fiveish warriors that fought alongside them.


    Originally, the history was after the psychopaths finished the vige, they went after the evacuating civilians and ughtered them all but with Legs now, he already changed the fate of these people from death to life.


    This moment was literally the main reason that brought him to the desert.


    He was finally before de, what happened next would determine the oue. Originally, Legs decided that after rescuing them, he would try to use de''s father to convince his son to be his student.


    Seeing Christensen''s sess under him would have been a little convincing, but the problem was de. Knowing this warrior from his previous life, he knew that he was head-strong, principled, and loved doing things his own way.


    If he asked, he thought his chances of sess to be only 8% which was pitiful.


    With no choice though, he decided to try his luck but on seeing Max and Maggie now, Legs''s eyes shone as another option opened to him.


    Max and Maggie were known as the Twin Sabers for a reason. When pushed to the wall, these 2 warriors could unleash strength that was far more lethal than what they were using at this moment.


    de didn''t respect a lot of things but he respected power.


    Legs finally found an easier option. Instead of persuasion, he would deliberately disy his power before everyone that was present today.


    If de was thrilled by it, after all the suffering today and resentment that he rued against the Clown Society, he woulde seek him out for power.


    For the first time in a long time, Legs wanted to disy his full power in public and he was hyped for it. ''Man, this would be epic!''


    As soon as he activated the Beast ne Summoning ability, Ak and the 4 Grade D Wolves in his pack came charging out through the rainbow bridge.


    "Christensen, lead the warriors to rescue the survivors".


    As soon as he gave orders to his student, he kicked Predator beforeunching himself into the skies as Bran swooped down to meet him.

    Instantly after Legs activated these abilities, he merged with Bran as he grew ck wings with golden stripes to fly, he levitated in the skies.


    After losing so many mana and health points to activate these 2 pivotal abilities, he drank a potion that he had with him to replenish both.


    As soon as his Summoner energy swept through the 5 Wolves, all of them felt a massive power energizing them as their instinctive teamwork increased.


    ----


    All Wolves in Ak''s Pack have gained the Cohesion Battle ability!


    ----


    With Christensen and the other warriors all going to reinforce Captain Aegon and the tribe chief of the Hero tribe, Legs became unbridled.


    "Roar!" Predator roared as he detected his master''s soaring battle will.


    "All attack!" Legs ordered as he flew into the skies.


    After fusing with Bran, with his new wings, space, and void powers, his mobility was borderline insane which was the main element to fight Titans.


    Whoosh!


    While Ak and the Wolves and Predator started a rampage on the ground against the Titans, he started a rampage primarily aimed at their heads in the sky.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Legs''s speed and efficiency were insane as he started ughtering the remaining psychopaths of the Clown Society and the Civilian Titans.


    His wings were insanely powerful, apart from being able to shoot them like daggers, he was also able to use them to cut as he cut Titan heads apart.


    No psychopath survived around him, he ughtered them all.


    In just a few seconds since he entered the battlefield, as he burned mana like water, dozens of Titans alreadyid dead including psychopaths.


    -----


    Warning! Your mana is running low!


    ----


    Legs tapped the grey apple tattoo on his wrist. "Aaron, do the thing!"


    From the grey world, Aaron responded on time as unlimited mana came flooding down into Legs''s body, he was emboldened even more.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    He ughtered the Titans and psychopaths.


    While he ughtered here, Max and Maggie were already trapped in an encirclement by the warriors of the Vanguard Squad.


    The Warrior Titan that carried them was killed in no time, including the psychopath that rode it inside its abdomen as Captain Aegon tore this psychopath in 2 to avenge his warriors that had died to them.


    None of the warriors yelled, but their eyes that burned like fire bore into the skin of the 2 enemy elementalists as they rushed at them.


    Cornered already, the twin finally resorted to use their ultimate attack.


    "Max and Maggie Specialty: Twin Sabers of Fire and Earth!"


    Bzzz!


    The next moment, fire of extreme temperatures erupted as extremely solidified earth that was made in the shape of 2 sabers was put into the fire.


    The earth didn''t turn to ss though, in a strange chemical reaction, the fire of extreme temperatures mixed with the solidified earthen sabers to form a makeshift version of a sma saber.


    It was not the original sma saber, but they had the same function.


    "Max and Maggie Specialty: sma Wrath!"


    Both twins grabbed a saber each as they faced the Pugilists head-on. Apart from their Elementalist main ss, they both learned a subss, the Elite Swordsman subss that made them masters with the Saber.


    Whoosh!


    Their movements were like the wind itself as they attacked.


    Caught off-guard, the warriors were unable to react as 2 of them were cut apart, dying instantly. Even those that managed to react did not fare well, Maggie''s sma saber effortlessly cut through Elmort Dale''s War Axe.


    A deep injury was inflicted on this veteran warrior''s chest as he gasped in pain and fell back while other warriors jumped in only to die.


    Both Elementalists seemed to turn into the reincarnation of Saber Gods.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    In just a few seconds, 8 warriors were left dead in their rampage as these 2 maniacal twins continued their ughter.


    "Hahaha¡­, all shall die before our twin sabers!"


    "We shall cut everything apart!"


    "All men shall die!"


    "Hahahaha¡­."


    Faraway, Legs shattered another Titan''s crystal when he heard this sound. As soon as he heard it, he took this as his signal.


    "Finally!"


    -----

    Bzzz!


    Legs arrived like a ghost right on time to save another warrior from death, and as soon as he did, his eyes bore on the 2 twins as his wings shed at them.


    Whoosh!


    Max dodged by only a fraction as his long red hair was cut in twain.


    Legs did not stop there.

    ----


    With the Combat Master activated, Rex''s closebat skills increased.


    His follow-up attack was too rapid and fast for the twins to cope with. The Iron Feathers were more urate than usual, they tried to dodge but could not dodge all of them as some dug into their skin, drawing blood.


    Instantly, the bleeding effect was triggered.


    The pain from the iron feathers distracted them a bit, giving room for the even more lethal Void Spears to attack them.


    The portal to the void dimension opened behind them in their blind spot, allowing the Void Spears to effortlessly dig into their back.


    "Ugh¡­" Both twins groaned as their eyes widened in horror.


    Legs''sbo was too fast and impable for them to break from or cope with, it was like they were stuck in a quagmire.


    As soon as they took the Void Spears, the Obliterate ability finally activated. Max was fast enough to detect the danger and barely escape, but Maggie''s luck was not so good as she was dragged into the artificial ckhole.


    Screams of pain reverberated from the ckhole amid tearing sounds.


    When the ckhole spat her out, she was bloody all over with hundreds of cuts all over her body. Arge gaping hole was left in her abdomen as she bled.


    She survived only because of her defensive treasures and because she was Maggie, any other Grade D superhuman had a lesser chance of surviving.


    Max was horrified, without hesitation, he tried to escape.


    -----


    You have activated ability: Beast Integration!


    Warning! You have forcefully separated from Bran!


    You have lost 5% health points!


    You have integrated sessfully with Predator!


    ----


    "Roar!" Predator roared excitedly as soon as he merged with his master.


    Legs controlling Predator''s body ignored the severely injured Maggie as he pounced towards Max who was still trying to escape.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Lethal Bite!


    ----


    Crunch!


    With one pounce and one well-timed bite, Legs bit with Predator''s sharp teeth into the flesh of his opponent as he tore the whole of his right hand away.


    Max groaned in pain but he dared not stop nor look back.


    As he fell down, the desert opened as with his Earth Elementalist powers, he dived deep into the desert before escaping as fast as he could.


    While Legs targeted him, Maggie already used the opportunity to sprout fire under her legs as despite terribly injured, she escaped rapidly.


    Both twins escaped after receiving terrible injuries.


    Everything from when Legs arrived happened in less than 10 seconds, and every other superhuman warrior in the scene were just spectators.


    As the psychopaths escaped, their mouths and eyes were left wide open.


    They stared at Legs like he was an alien sent to haunt them.


    Legs spat Max''s bloody hand away as he finallynded. "They escaped".


    "What a pity¡­"


    Everyone around him felt goosebumps.

 Chapter 136 Special Ability Unlocked

    Captain Aegon knew that Legs was strong, but never in his wildest dreams did he expect the Summoner to be this strong.


    The show that he just witnessedpletely changed his perception about summoners. ''So, Summoners can be this strong''.


    The other warriors of the Vanguard Squad experienced almost the same feeling that he experienced, they were awed by the strength of this warrior.


    Their respect for Legs already grew a lot when due to some reason, he epted Altan''s quest to help them. Legs saved them and they were grateful, but this show of strength from him increased their respect all the more.


    Looking at the silhouette of his master as he looked at the distance where Maggie escaped in, Christensen felt a feeling of pride erupt in his heart.


    ''This is my master''. He thought as a foolish smile lit up his face.


    He clenched his fists. ''I still have a long way to catch up to master''.


    After the rampage by Max and Maggie, only 4 warriors of the Hero tribe were left. Apart from the severely injured Tribe chief, Elmort Dale, and his son, Arthur, there were only 2 other warrior survivors of the Hero tribe.


    Despite their tragedy, at this moment, all of them had looks of respect and awe in their eyes as they looked at this Summoner.


    Just a few seconds ago, Max and Maggie were in the process of soloing and killing them all, but fast-forward a few seconds forward, here they were.


    They looked at Legs like he was a god.

    ----


    They say warriors build bond through battles and this proved it.


    In the blink of an eye, Legs''s favorability in their eyes increased in various degrees. After saving his tribe, andter saving his life from sure death, Tribe Chief Elmort Dale already saw the stranger warrior as a friend.


    Only de was a little harder to woo.


    One of the greatest traits that de was known for in Legs''s previous life was his integrity and honesty, he was also rarely deceived or persuaded.


    de respected Legs''s strength and he was grateful for him saving his tribe and his father, but that was all, this warrior didn''t think of anything else.


    "Ugh¡­" Elmort Dale groaned as he tried to stand up.


    His 2 remaining subordinates that survived helped him up.


    On standing up, he bowed before the warriors of the Vanguard Squad, most especially Legs. "I will never forget your help today".


    "The Hero tribe always pays its debts".


    "If we have the chance in the future, we will surely repay this debt".


    Captain Aegon smiled as he exchanged a few more words of pleasantry with this Tribe chief. Of course, he tried to persuade him to evacuate to anyone of the major tribes but like expected, Elmort Dale refused.


    For the next few minutes, they checked for survivors. As soon as Max and Maggie escaped, the remaining Titans also left.


    After checking for minutes, they saw no survivors and were finally ready to go. Throughout, none of them spoke about Legs''s disy of power.


    Legs was frustrated. ''The heck!"


    ''You''re not f*cking telling me that I did all that for naught right?!''


    As they were about to leave, Legs finally spoke. "Tribe Chief".


    Elmort Dale turned back to look at him.


    "During this battle, I saw a lot of potentials in your son. Though I am not a Pugilist, I know a lot about superhuman strength and I have a lot of connections".


    "Under me, de can blossom to fulfill his full potential".


    "Stuck in a desert, he would not be able to realize his potential".


    Elmort Dale raised his eyebrows. "You''re saying?"


    "Yes, if it pleases you, I would like Arthur Dale to be my student just like Christensen".


    "No!" Arthur answered before his father could.


    "I am not leaving my family, neither am I living my tribe".


    "I am to be the next Tribe Chief, I am obligated to stay and protect them".


    "¡­"


    Though Legs already expected it, he was still disappointed. He had a lot of other argument to persuade de, but knowing that he would reject them all, he sighed before shaking his head. "What a pity¡­"


    He barely finished before a loud sound reverberated.


    Boom!


    Captain Aegon''s eyes turned sharp. "A Titan¡­, a Warrior Titan!"


    As soon as they turned to look at where the sound came from, their eyes widened, that was the direction where the civilians evacuated to.


    "No¡­!" Elmort Dale roared as he rushed in pursuit.


    His warriors and his son followed him without hesitation.


    Captain Aegon did not hesitate also as they followed. On top Predator, Legs also followed them as he sent Bran to go ahead.


    Before they got there, through Bran, Legs already saw everything.


    Elmort Dale copsed on the desert in tears on getting there.


    Thud! Thud!


    The thudding sounds as the Warrior Titan escaped turned fainter by the second, what was left in its wake was death and destruction.


    Not a single civilian or warrior survived the Warrior Titan''s rampage.


    While they fought against Max and Maggie, following the twin Saber''s instructions, the psychopath that escaped from the Vanguard Squad in the previous vige went after the civilians and he left no soul alive.


    de and thest 2 Hero tribesmen also copsed on the ground as they wept, they were inconsble as the warriors of the Vanguard Squad just watched.


    The scene was bloody and sad.


    Elmort Dale grabbed the purple cloak, thest relic apart from the blood that was left of his beautiful wife as he wept bitterly. He no longer looked like a Tribe Chief at the moment, his sorrow already made him lose the demeanor.


    Silence reigned as thest survivors of the Hero tribe mourned their tribesmen, only their sobs reverberated rhythmically in the desert.


    2 minutester, Arthur no longer cried as he stood up first.


    He turned to look at Legs with bloodshot and sad eyes. "Can you help me seek revenge?"


    Legs kept his silence as he looked at this warrior.


    "Help me kill those 2 psychopaths and I will be your student".


    "Please, help me avenge my mother". He clenched his fists as he forced back the tears that threatened to fall down his eyes.


    "Help me get my revenge against the Clown Society".


    His eyes gleamed maniacally as he made his decision. "If you help me get revenge, I promise to serve you for eternity with all my heart and my soul!"


    Legs quietly looked at this young man, then he looked down at his father who was already wiping his tears, then he dered solemnly. "I ept".


    "I will help you take revenge".


    "Then help me take revenge against those 2 psychopaths now!"


    This was all Legs came to the desert for, he was not about to miss it. He gave a well-thought out excuse to Captain Aegon before deciding to leave with de to kill Max and Maggie.


    Christensen would follow him of course.


    Captain Aegon and the others decided to continue their mission of saving the other small desert tribes.


    Legs turned to face the Tribe Chief again. "Tribe Chief¡­"


    "Don''t call me Tribe Chief anymore, I am no longer one". Elmort Dale finally stood up as he wiped off his tears. "I am now an avenger".


    "I respect my son''s decision".


    "As for mine". His eyes gleamed sharply. "For the rest of my days, I will hunt down the Clown Society and its members to avenge my wife and my tribe".


    "We will follow you". Thest 2 survivors dered their support.


    With that, the party finally parted in 3 different directions.


    Christensen led the way to track the Twin Sabers as he summoned Brutus, but just as he went to work, Legs''s virtual interface lit up.

    Legs turned to face his student with a smile. "Christensen, it seems I won''t be needing you to track them again, go help Aegon and the others".


    "Why?" Christensen was confused.


    "I think my tracking abilities just upgraded".

 Chapter 137 Assassinating Max And Maggie [1]

    Somewhere in the Great Desert¡­


    A group of 6 hunters wearing the iconic Brown uniform with the emblem of a flying Eagle of the Hunter Union moved through the desert as they watched their surroundings alertly.


    The one who led them at the front with red hair was their captain.


    "Captain, don''t you think the distance is longer this time?" One of the warriors, a female who was the shortest among them asked.


    "Shortest, have you ever been to the desert before?"


    The short female with her blonde hair tied into a bun stomped the desert as she red at this taller warrior. "I dare you to call me shortest again?!"


    "Sorry, tallest".


    "Hahaha¡­"


    The other hunters in the team of 6ughed, causing the short female to fume even more as she looked to her Captain for help.


    The Captain ignored her. "Have you guys forgotten that we''re in a dangerous region? Stop with the jokes and focus on the mission".


    One of the other males in the team chuckled. "Captain, Shortest started it".


    "You dare¡­?!"


    The short female pounced on this warrior, finally forcing the Captain to react as he grabbed the 2 of them effortlessly like rag dolls before smacking them on the head to punish them.


    "If you make any more trouble, you''ll both answer to the Commander on our return to the base".


    "Humph!" They red at each other before turning away.


    As veteran hunters representing the Hunter Union in the Core Protection Alliance, though 5 of them were Grade E superhumans with only the Captain being a Grade D superhuman, they were still all elite hunters.


    They were able to navigate through the desert in such a way where they avoided most beasts, which tranted to avoiding unnecessary battles.


    About an hourter, their Captain stopped them.


    "It''s gettingte, let''s stop to rest before we attract a Sand Worm".


    As one of the mainstream organizations in Darvis and one that dealt most with the beasts after the apocalypse, the desert was one of the main hunting grounds of the Hunter Union and they had refuges here for their warriors.


    The Captain led this warrior to locate one of the refuges.


    It was a bunker built like a cave under the desert.


    They watched their surroundings, and after confirming that no one was watching them, they finally entered the hunter refuge.


    Whoosh!


    A silhouette copsed from the skies far away from them as soon as they entered the refuge, from afar in the skies, Maggie saw everything but she was too weak to levitate any longer as she copsed on the desert.


    She already lost too much blood, her vision was dizzy but she forced herself to look at the wrist watch that was on her wrist.


    Beep! Beep!


    The wrist watch beeped twice the next moment, she heaved a sigh of relief. This was a tracking device that she and her twin had, they used it to locate each other if they ever got lost in the desert.


    4 minutester, the sand beside her loosened as her brother dug his way out of it. Max panted as heid on the sand, also exhausted.


    Though he already wrapped his hand with his cloth, the massive injury was still bringing blood and he had no bandages to nurse it.


    If it continued bleeding without being attended to, he would surely lose his life and Max feared that oue.


    "I saw some hunters enter a refuge, perhaps, we can get first aid kit from them". Maggie spoke as she forced herself to stand up.


    This originally beautiful warrior was nowhere to be seen, Legs''s obliterate space ability did her really bad, she was like a sieve that was wrongly made and severely neglected by its creator during its creation.


    As Max looked at his sister, he gritted his teeth. "That Sexy Chocte¡­!"


    "I never knew he was that strong".


    Maggie sighed. "Doesn''t matter, let''s take care of ourselves first".


    They crawled their way to the entrance of the refuge.


    ¡­


    Inside the refuge, all 6 warriorsid on the ground as they made jokes.


    The short female hunter''s voice was loud. "Hahaha¡­, do you remember that day, in the market, I almostughed my guts out".


    "He said, hey, tallest,e, I have your shirt size, hahaha!"


    Captain Stoke turned to look at the only female in his team with a sigh. "You''ve started again, I don''t want to hear any sound when they hit back at you, enjoy it now and don''tinter".


    "But Captain¡­"


    Boom!


    All 6 hunters were startled as they scrambled to get their weapons.


    Max and Maggie took no chances, from the onset, they used theirbined specialty and created sma Sabers through which they cut the iron door apart.


    The next moment, they created a flowing Lava that covered half of this refuge, spooking the hunters who already recognized that these 2 injured warriors were Grade D Elementalists.


    Captain Stoke was fast to react on seeing them injured, from this little disy, he could already tell that they stood no chance against them.


    "I have first aid kits, I can help".


    "Just spare my life and those of my subordinates".


    "Good". Maggie nodded coldly. "You''ll help us attend to our wounds, if you try anything silly, thisva is testament of our powers".


    "We can cover this whole refuge withva and bury ourselves in".


    "We won''t try anything silly". Captain Stoke promised.


    "Good".


    Both psychopaths finally copsed on the floor, they used thest of their mana to pull this stunt and was now in a recovery stage.


    They were weak but having seen what they were capable of already, Captain Stoke warned his hunters for prudence as they brought the first aid kits.


    After moving closer as slowly as he could, he took the lead and started administering first aid treatment to them. In no time, they were able to stop the bleeding as the 2 Red Masters were finally able to catch their breath.


    "Do you have food?" Max asked.


    "Yes". Captain Stoke ordered his hunters to bring food.


    As they started eating, they regained some strength as they justid on their back with the intent to rest and properly recover.


    Unknown to them, retribution was close already.


    ¡­


    -----


    You have activated Special Ability: Sense Tracking!


    ----


    Legs felt like his nose suddenly became godly tools.


    With them alone after getting the general direction from Christensen, and with his previous tracking skills, he was able to track their targets halfway across the desert until they finally arrived before this sand dune.


    "They''re down there". Legs pointed down.


    Then as silently as he could, he led de down there.


    As they went closer, it did not take them long before they discovered the iron door that was cut apart by sharp and extremely hot objects.


    "sma Sabers!" Legs''s eyes narrowed.


    "That''s their weapon". de also recognized it as his eyes gleamed with all the hate that he could muster.


    Legs turned to look at him onest time. "Are you ready?"


    de took a deep breath. "Yes".


    "Good, follow me cautiously".


    He took the first step closer before jumping in through the door.

 Chapter 138 Assassinating Max And Maggie [2]

    Inside the refuge, Max and Maggieid on the ground.


    Even though their heavy injuries already stopped bleeding after receiving first aid treatment from the hunters, both psychopaths still had pale looks on their faces as they vigntly looked at the warriors.


    Their exhaustion made them feel like sleeping but they dared not.


    As they watched the hunters, the hunters also watched them.


    They kept this delicate stalemate until a sound came from outside.


    Whoosh!


    All the warriors in this room barely turned to look before Legs aimed and released it. Having brought Christensen''s bow and arrow along, Legs''s aim was true as it went directly to Maggie''s heart.


    -----


    Passive ability has been triggered: Marksman


    ----


    The attack was too sudden and unexpected, Maggie was unable to dodge as with wide opened eyes, she watched as the arrow dug into her chest.


    "Ugh¡­" Maggie groaned as she coughed blood.


    The arrow dug directly into her heart, she was already dying.


    All the hunters in the refuge were rmed as they formed a circr defensive formation among themselves, as for Max, his eyes widened in shock and rage as he felt the life draining out of his sister''s body.


    Maggie gasped for breath as she let out gurgling sounds.


    Thud! Thud!


    Almost at the same time that Legs rolled into the refuge and released the arrow, de already exploded with speed towards the injured Max.


    His eyes zed with the fury of revenge.


    On seeing the familiar faces, a maniacal look overtook Max''s face as he startedughing like a madman. "Hahaha¡­, you again?"


    "Hahaha¡­"


    "Since you want my life so much, have it".


    Max''s eyes turned blood-red like a vampire''s the next moment. Since his twin sister already lost her life a second ago, he no longer felt any motivation to continue living, he was ready to die with these 2 warriors.


    "Forbidden Elementalist Ability: Soul Rupturing Technique!"


    "Ahhh¡­.!"


    As soon as Max activated the forbidden Elementalist ability, veins appeared and popped in his eyes as he roared like his soul was being tormented in hell.


    This was an ability that he discovered in a ruin with his twin sister.


    By sacrificing his soul, he gained ridiculous temporary strength.


    Once the strength was gone, he would definitely die but Max did not care anymore. The same look of fire of revenge that zed in de''s eyes now zed in his eyes also as he sought to get his own revenge for his sister''s death.


    de did not care about the surge of power from his opponent as he finally arrived before him, but he learned to regret his nonchnce.


    Boom!


    de''s sword sh swept across like a raging tsunami but Max''s palm held it still like Jesus telling the raging sea to calm, then he clenched his hand the next moment as de''s beloved sword shattered into pieces.


    An umon grade sword shattered into pieces.


    This was the ridiculous strength that this Elementalist now had.


    "Die!"


    His sword shatteringpletely rattled de as he was suddenly unsure of how to react. Thispse in concentration from him proved deadly as Max grabbed him like a rag doll before throwing him into the air.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    3 punches and de felt like all his bones already shattered as he coughed blood, Max effortlessly broke his right hand before throwing him to the side.


    His eyes that zed with revenge now focused on Legs who calmly watched everything that transpired since, this was his target for revenge.


    Max did not stop there, he amplified his strength even further.


    "Forbidden Elementalist Ability: Blood Sucking Technique!"


    The same way that soul contained life, so also did blood contain life. While he inherited the Soul Rupturing technique, his sister inherited the Blood Sucking Technique and now with Maggie dead, he used it.


    Maggie''s dead corpse shriveled into a dry husk the next moment as all her blood turned into a powerful energy that now energized Max.


    Max red at Legs.


    "You will die a miserable death!"


    "I will make you wish you never targeted my sister!"


    Legs smirked on hearing this as his eyes turned cold.


    "Die!" Max finally charged towards him.


    At this moment, this Elementalist''s energy was like a raging tsunami as his oppressive aura pressed down on this refuge but Legs was not intimidated.


    With calm eyes, he made his move.

    ----


    As soon as Bran broke through the roof of the refuge, Legs integrated with the Void Raven as his massive ck wings with golden stripes elongated out.


    He did not just do this.


    To prove a point, Legs brought all his beasts.


    Predator stood at the very front of this battalion of beasts as to his left stood the 7 Foxes representing Lucky''s Society, and to the right stood the 5 Wolves that represented Ak''s pack, this was Legs''s power in full.


    Legs''s eyes were cold as he raised his hands like a tyrant.


    "Do not forget this, I am the strongest Grade D Summoner alive!"


    "This will be over in less than a minute".


    Legs clenched his fists. "Attack!"


    BOOM!


    A massive energy erupted from the beasts the next moment.


    Not just the spectating hunters and de, even Max who was on the receiving end was intimidated and shocked as the battalion of beasts pounced towards him. Their momentum waspletely unstoppable.


    "Roar!" "Roar!"


    Their powerful roars shook the foundation of this refuge.


    Whoosh!


    Legs pped his powerful wings as he flew up and jumped into the fray.


    For this battle, there was no need for strategies, the strategy was simple, tear Max apart and all the beasts understood it.


    Their powerful ws and teethpletely tore Max apart.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Crunch!


    "Ahhhh¡­!!!"


    Max screamed his lungs out as he tried his best to avenge his sister to no avail, he did not give up though. Till hisst moments, he kept fighting.


    After onest pounce, Predator imed the ultimate prize as his teeth that were as sharp as sabers separated this Elementalist''s head from his neck.


    As the head flew, Legs grabbed it in mid-air.


    Before Maxpletely lost consciousness, he whispered into his ears.


    "I am the showman".


    "Your mistake was trying to steal my show, never do that¡­"


    Despite the hotness of the desert, a chill seemed to descend on this refuge.

    ----


    Thud!


    Legs finally dropped Max''s head on the ground.


    Pin-drop silence dominated the refuge the next moment as you could even hear the sounds of the sand moving with the wind outside the refuge.


    Legs was thest man standing, at a corner, the 6 hunters of the Hunter Union watched him while on the ground, de watched him.


    Also on the groundid the dead body of Max.


    Even in death, this psychopath''s face still had a look of disbelief and unwillingness in his face. Without a doubt, he didn''t want to die without avenging his sister, he wanted to die with his enemies.


    The only ones standing with Legs at this moment were his beasts.


    After tearing this powerful Elementalist apart, like usual, Predator already took his stand as a sigma enthusiast as he started feasting on Max''s flesh.


    All the other beasts stood behind their master like loyal soldiers.


    de looked at this scene and he felt his world turning on its head. After Legs''s previous disy against the 2 Elementalists, he already knew that he was strong but after this, he felt that strong was an understatement.


    ''Is he a god?!"


    His emotions were in such a jumbled state that he could not exin.


    For a long time, he admired his father and saw him as his role model. To him, his father was the greatest Grade D superhuman alive but looking back now, he was amused at how na?ve he had been.


    ''I''ve really been a frog in a well all these while''. He thought.


    Watching Legs dominating andpletely viting Max left such a deep impression in his mind that his respect for this warrior rose like a rocket.


    The next moment, de fell on his knees as he kowtowed before Legs.


    "Master, I originally epted your proposal due to selfishness".


    "I agreed to be your student because I wanted revenge for my mother".


    "But after seeing your strength, I really now want to be your student".


    He raised his head to look at his master as tears poured down his eyes. "Master, please forgive me and take me sincerely as your student".


    "I want to be like you, I want to be strong like you".


    He clenched his fists. "I want to be the strongest Pugilist alive".


    -----


    Beast Integration state has deactivated


    ¡­


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    As soon as the Beast Integration state wore off, Legs activated the Beast ne Summoning and sent all his beasts to the beast ne except Predator.


    "Lucky, Ak, thanks for your help, I''ll treat you guyster".


    Of course, before sending them away, he did not forget to express his gratitude as he knew how Lucky could be at times when she didn''t feel appreciated.


    After sending them away, Legs turned to look at de with a smile.


    "I saw a lot of potential in you, that is why I took you in".


    "Of course, I want to bring the best out of you".


    "If you remain loyal and steadfast, I will make you the greatest Pugilist alive".


    "I swear on the Tree God and my ancestors that I will always remain loyal and steadfast!" de swore solemnly as he looked at Legs.


    Legs''s smile widened as he helped him up. "Stand up".


    "We still have a lot of things to do".


    Without hesitation, Legs was about to lead his student away but the hunters who had been hiding in the background since finally spoke.


    "Ahem¡­" The Captain coughed. "Great warrior, my name is Captain Stoke".


    "I represent the Hunter Union in the Core Protection Alliance".


    Legs turned to look at him as this Captain felt his heart fly away.


    "Cough¡­, cough¡­" He almost choked on his own cough, his subordinates felt their faces turning red as they kept their gaze on the ground.


    "I just wanted to thank you for saving us".


    "We are really grateful".


    "The Hunter Union and the Core Protection Alliance will never forget this favor". He bowed as his subordinates bowed with him to express their gratitude.


    "The Core Protection Alliance?" Legs raised his brows as he remembered. "Where you guys sent here to check the fluctuation in the core?"


    Captain Stoke''s eyes widened. ''How did he know?'' His dread of this warrior increased even more as he nodded vehemently like an Agama Lizard.


    "Good, tell them that the Clown Society is the culprit".


    "They¡­"


    Legs did not hesitate as he told them everything.


    "The Desert Tribes cannot destroy the alien machine alone, they need the help from the Core Protection Alliance and the major organizations".


    "And I also think the Ancient Titan City is not the only target".


    "Warn them of what happened here".


    Darvis need to be prepared for what ising or we will all perish".


    "Yes sir!" Captain Stoke nodded seriously.


    Even if he was born with 10 Dragon heads, he did not dare take the words of this Great warrior casually as he noted them seriously like he was back in high school. He took note of everything until Legs finally left.


    As soon as Legs left with de, he turned to face his subordinates.


    "What a terrifying warrior¡­" He sighed.


    "I never knew Pugilists could be so strong". The short female wiped off her sweat. "Did you guys see it? I think he was looking at my body".


    The tallest in the group sneered. "Humph¡­, you think he''ll look at an ugly midget like you?"


    Her eyes widened. "What did you just call me?"


    "Ugly midget".


    "You dare?!"


    "I dare".


    "Ahhhh¡­"


    Bam! Bam!


    Fists were exchanged as Captain Stoke shook his head with a sigh.


    ¡­


    After leaving the refuge, de turned to look at his master as he asked. "Master, where are we going to after here?"


    "To meet Captain Aegon".


    "I promised to help save all the small tribes like your own from the hands of the Undead Titans and I intend to keep my promise".


    "We''ll only leave after they are all safe".


    de looked ahead at the golden desert as his ambition started burning.

 Chapter 140 Mission Complete

    5 dayster¡­


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Scent Tracking


    ----


    "This way".


    Legs''s eyes gleamed sharply in the desert as he detected the scent of the Titans. After getting Christensen''s exclusive ability, his tracking abilitybined with his experience increased his overall efficiency exponentially.


    Now, he was no longer far behind Christensen when it came to tracking.


    "Awesome!" Christensen was awed.


    "Master, you''re a genius, you''ve gotten the hang of it".


    Legs grinned as he looked at his student. "Yeah".


    This was Christensen''s exclusive ability but as his master and considering the amount of effort he put into training Christensen, he was thick-skinned enough to take all the credit for himself as payment for all his previous efforts.


    After all, who thought the previous useless Christensen could be this.


    After regrouping with Captain Aegon''s Vanguard Squad 5 days ago, without hesitation, he joined them as they continued their Titan hunt.


    There were dozens of small tribes like the Hero Tribe spread across the Great Desert, and to fulfill their mission, they had to go through all the tribes.


    Through the Scent Tracking ability, Legs helped them and was able to detect the direction with a higher concentration of Titan scent. They prioritized the tribes where there were higher concentration of Titans to save them.


    For the past 5 days, they continued ughtering the Undead Titans.


    Having understood everything about them already, they no longer had a hard time like their first encounter with the powerful Titans.


    Also, the survivors in the Vanguard Squad were already veterans.


    Apart from Amak and Ackermann who were still injured from Din''s betrayal, the remaining survivors of the Vanguard Squad were Captain Aegon, Shogun, Arnold, Altan, Amanak, Legs and hispanions.


    Of 160 warriors that were originally mobilized to be part of the Vanguard Squad, only 5 survived and they now had the ability to back their survival.


    After 5 days of constant shes, a lot of the Titans already died.


    And with their crystals shattered, the Clown Society could no longer bring the Titans back to life. They could only send their warriors to ride them through the alien machines but this was also already vulnerable before the Vanguard Squad.


    In the end, they no longer sent more Titans to attack the tribes.


    This was thest vige under the attack of the Titans.


    Under Legs''s leadership, the Vanguard Squad arrived after 5 minutes.


    Captain Aegon like usual took centerstage. "Amanak, Arnold, you''re our rangers, stay behind us and protect our backs".


    "Shogun, I need fiery bombardment".


    "Got it, Commander".


    "Altan, follow me, we''re the protectors left".


    Then he turned to face Legs. "Do your thing".


    "Got it!" Legs grinned. "de, stick with me".

    After fusing with Bran numerous times in the past 5 days, his base control level with the Void Raven already increased by another 5%. Now, his overall control level was 50% which meant greater strength.


    "Christensen, do what you like with Leo".


    The next moment, Legs exploded into battle. de was swift as he followed directly behind him while wielding Giantsbane.


    Whoosh!


    As soon as they jumped into the battle, a massacre began.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Legs shot Iron Feathers at the Titans at such a frenzied rate like they were bullets raining down an automatic machine gun, they were unstoppable.


    Even as he incapacitated the Titans, de finished them off at a ridiculous speed. With Giantsbane, this Pugilist was unstoppable as he sliced through the heads of the Civilian Titans as easily as a hot knife slicing through butter.


    Thud! Thud!


    A Warrior Titan arrived but the oue was not much different.


    Captain Aegon''s orders were simple. "Box it in and kill it!"


    From the skies, Legs distracted the massive Warrior Titan as Shogun bombarded it with AOE fire skills that rattled the battlefield.


    The Warrior Titan was disoriented as de and Captain Aegon sprinted up its body, they both attacked its head but this Warrior Titan protected itself at the nick of time, barely saving its life.


    It was about to attack the 2 Pugilists but they had teammates.


    "Leo-Chris Beast Combo: Barrage of Death!"


    After a long time of limatization, Leo finally regained his full powers in the desert. Christensen and Leobined for the first time in a long time to unleash theirbo attack on a Warrior Titan.


    "Eat this b*tch!"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Christensen and Leo tore the Warrior Titan''s head apart including its crystal, it copsed on the ground like a mighty Iroko tree that was cut.


    After the death of the Warrior Titan, everything else was easier.


    5 minutester, this vige was saved.

    The alien machine that powered the Titans was not destroyed yet but since the immediate threat of the Titans was gone, the virtual interface recorded it for Legs that he alreadypleted the missions as they gave him his rewards.


    On seeing the notifications, a bright smile lit Legs''s face.


    Captain Aegon came closer to meet Legs after speaking with the Tribe Chief of this n as he smiled at him which was a rare urrence.


    He took Legs''s hand for a handshake. "Thanks man".


    "Without you, none of us would have survived".


    Legs smiled back at him before patting his hand.


    As the tribe started recovery processes to recover from the attack, the Vanguard Squad finally started their journey to return to the Kong tribe.


    As they moved through the desert, after what felt like a few hours on top Predator, Legs was surprised as his virtual interface lit up another notification.


    After 70 days, it was finally time.

    ¡­


    After an agonizing wait of 2 weeks, Horny Assassin was back in Dominator.


    His joy knew no end as just like his first time ofing here, he gawked at how realistic this world was as he admired the scenery and everything.


    Looking at the extremely lifelike NPCs again, he felt like he was in heaven.


    Of course, before doing anything else, he did his normal ritual to confirm that the game developers didn''t screw him over. As solemnly as he could, he pulled his pants down then he felt his little brother that dangled underneath.


    This was his way to confirm the realism of the game.


    The next moment, he grinned as he felt the cold sensation of his touch.


    He raised both of his hands up. "Manchester f*cking united!"


    Compared to during the Beta Testing, the number of yers that spawned in the Timbend Shelter were even more. After the overwhelming sess of the beta test, the poprity of Dominator exploded even more.


    Blue River and Ghost Sentry''s battle alongside the mysterious NPC to fight the Swordmaster of the Clown Society became a sessful advert product.


    Unlike Horny Assassin who already experienced the sensation of visiting this game world once, most of the yers here were experiencing it for the first time.


    They behaved like little children who were just taken to a supermarket.


    >Rotten Zhini: Holy mother of freaking Jesus!<


    >Rotten Zhini: Am I dreaming? This is so f*cking realistic, man, the adverts didn''t lie<


    >Ostrich that seduces you: Damn, like they said during that interview, my little brother is really intact!<


    >Lord Bendter: Damn! Does that mean we can do that thing here¡­, you know, that thing<


    >I killed your Dad: F*ck off you horny bastard. But seriously, the game is so realistic that I don''t even know what to say anymore<


    >sh of Cocks: Holy¡­! I just triggered a Grade F Mission, it says something about being surrounded by border guards<


    As the yers bickered among themselves amid their fascination of this new world, Horny Assassin sneered at them. "Newbies".


    Unlike them who were still clueless about this world, he already explored a lot. Like was already instructed by Guild leader Blue River, as soon as he spawned, he was to go to the Blue Scale Shelter where they met Legs.


    For straight 2 weeks, he never forgot the mysterious NPC that left a deep impression on him. For some weird reasons, he already missed Legs''s weird missions. "He''s a weird NPC but I like him".


    Without hesitation, he was about to leave when he heard it.


    Click! Click!


    "Freeze!"


    As soon as the sound of clicking guns reverberated, some warriors dressed in brown guard uniforms aimed their weapons at them as they ordered them to freeze. The guards eyed them warily.


    Their leader led from the front as a subordinate behind him whispered.


    "Boss, do you think they''re psychopaths of the Clown Society?"


    "I don''t know but we need to apprehend them".


    >Assassin who killed your father: What do these guys think they''re doing? Hey! NPC, do you know who I am?<


    >Sharpshooter: They are evil NPCs, let''s kill them!<


    Horny Assassin was already having an ominous feeling about this, this was weird, during his previous time here, he never experienced something like this.


    What he didn''t know was that during the time that they were gone, the Clown Society already took the whole by storm.


    "Don''t attack". He warned the yers but it was toote.


    "Ahhh¡­!" Some foolish yers rushed at the NPCs.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The majority of them were killed as the rest were arrested by the border guards. Like prisoners, they were dragged inside the Timbend Shelter.

    Bzzz!


    8 yers were spawned in a special spawn point.


    6 of these yers were the current contesting pro yers of the famous Blue Autumn team. Ghost Sentry, the newly signed pro yer was also here alongside them and the guild leader of the Blue Brook Guild.


    Apart from Blue River and Ghost Sentry, the others were bare and only on shorts and a shirt like every other new yer in Dominator.


    Sword God Raining Sword turned around as he admired the realistic world of this game that was already hyped for him to ridiculous extents. Like in real life, the Sword God created his iconic funky-styled blonde hair here.


    The other yers of the Blue Autumn Team also admired their surroundings.


    This ce where they spawned was a special location inside a forest close to the Blue Scale Shelter that was not supposed to be a spawn point.


    As a rich and famous professional game club, to give their pro yers a head start, the club bought exclusive VR helmets for them that enabled them to spawn at this special location close to where they intended to go.


    Raining Sword touched his funky-styled hair. "It''s indeed realistic".


    The next moment, he turned to face Blue River. "Let''s go".


    "Yes boss".


    Blue River led the way as they made their way to Blue Scale Shelter.


    A few minutester, they were attacked by a Wild Boar.


    Ghost Sentry was about to fight the beast but Raining Sword stopped him.


    "Give me your sword".


    "But your attributes are still that of a basic human".


    "I know, just give it to me". Raining Sword grabbed the sword.


    "Since you''re a swordsman like me, watch and learn".


    As soon as he received the sword, Raining Sword flexed the sword a bit before finally making his move. His speed was like that of a natural human but his technique was godly, the Boar could not react before its head was sliced off.


    He turned to look at the new member. "That''s my exclusive technique, Falling Leaves in Autumn".


    They continued their journey.


    As they moved, another of the pro yers asked. "The Version theme, it says the Clown Revolution, what do you think it means?"


    "Who knows". Raining Sword shrugged his shoulders.


    A few minutester, they arrived in Blue Scale Shelter.

    ----


    After a long time of saving his experience points, Legs finally decided to spend them today and despite his stockpile of millions, he was only able to level up 4 times which was testament of the raised standards.


    After the Grade D realm, the amount of experience points required for each level up doubled which made things a lot harder for him.


    The same way as yers grow stronger as they climb through the ranks, so also was it harder to continue leveling up through the ranks.


    Leveling up was hard, this was something Legs already knew from his previous life. He sighed as he looked at his remaining stockpile.


    Since he already leveled his 2 subsses to the maximum, he didn''t have to worry about them anymore and now only focused on his main ss.


    After this level up, his vitality, intelligence, and mystery all increased which were the main attributes of a Summoner, leaving the others.


    His other attributes would only increase when he leveled up a grade or through other special circumstances like consuming special treasure fruits.


    After arriving back at the Kong tribe, Tribe Chief Kohama weed them like heroes as they threw a feast. Legs was already tired from the feast and was why he retreated to his room to rest.


    Before sleeping, apart from spending his experience points, another thing that he decided to do was spending his Gacha Pull chance.


    Though his luck was not the brightest, after managing to pull Lucky out despite his 0 luck then, Legs was optimistic that he could be surprised.


    He closed his eyes and said his prayers to the goddess of luck.


    -----


    [You have made use of Gacha Pull once: You have gained a weapon!]


    ----


    Legs was stunned. "I-it worked?"


    Legs could not believe his eyes as he looked at the glowing card that had the picture of a weapon that hovered before him.


    He clicked on the card and waited for it to open.


    Once it opened, his virtual interface lit up.

    [Remark: A sword that when in the right hands could induce Poseidon''s wrath!]


    ----


    Legs was already ecstatic that he was able to get something from the Gacha Pull, his excitement at looking at the sword''s status could not be described.


    "Damn, the goddess of luck literallyid bare for me today".


    As Legs held the sword, feeling its sharp edge, he already knew what he would do with them. As he looked at the sword, he remembered the Enchanted daggers that he got sometime ago and was yet to use.


    The next moment, he stood up and went to his student''s room.


    Knock! Knock!


    With a slight creak, the wooden door was pushed open.


    "Master!" de was surprised on seeing Legs.


    "Take". Legs pushed the sword into his student''s hand.


    "This is my first gift to you as my student, make good use of it".


    During the battle against Max and Maggie, de lost his sword and was why Legs gave him Poseidon''s Fury. And since he already returned the Giantsbane, at this moment, he was without a sword.


    As he held the sword, de could not hold his excitement as tears flowed down his eyes which he wiped the next moment.


    He knew he was a man, he clenched his fists to prevent more tears as he looked up at his master''s eyes with conviction and determination.


    "Master, I will work hard".


    "I will not fail your expectations".


    Legs smiled and patted him on the shoulder before leaving.


    ¡­


    The next morning, all the survivors of the Vanguard Squad were led to the town hall of the Kong tribe where all the inhabitants of this tribe were already gathered including some warriors from other tribes.


    Though Legs was already informed about this yesterday, he was still awed by the traditional proceedings of the Kong tribe as they weed them.


    All 7 of them were led to the podium where the elders and the Tribe Chiefs of all the other major tribes were already gathered, including Tribe Chief Kohama.


    At the podium, they all kneeled before the Tribe Chiefs.


    Kohama stood up from his throne with an amiable smile on his face as he faced the spectators. "Today is a special day in the history of our tribes".


    "The Honorary Warrior title is one that was invented by our ancestors".


    "They created it to reward and honor the heroes of our various tribes".


    "As we all know, thest Honorary Warrior title was given over a century ago". Tribe Chief Kohama''s tribe widened. "But today, this deadlock will be broken by 7 brave warriors who fought with their lives as heroes and protected us".


    He pointed at the 7 warriors. "These are thetest heroes of our tribes".


    "When the Clown Society struck, they stood their ground like men and fought for us".


    "They fought hard so our legacy could continue".


    "They fought hard so our children and wives would not be history".


    "For their bravery and valiancy in defending our tribes, with the authority vested on me as the Tribe Chief of the head tribe, I dere them Honorary Warriors".


    "Honorary Warriors!"


    The crowd exploded as they hailed the newly crowned Honorary Warriors.


    Legs and Christensen became the first Honorary Warriors who were not natives of the desert, they broke a record.


    As they were celebrated, Legs looked at the crowd and smiled as a feeling of contentment and pride welled in his heart.


    It felt good being appreciated for doing good.

 Chapter 143 Sand Worm Competition

    After bestowing them with the Honorary Title, time finally came to thest phase of this celebration that Tribe Chief Kohama hosted for the heroes.


    Legs turned to look at Captain Aegon. "A Sand Wormpetition?"


    "Yes". This Captain smiled as a hyped look dominated his face.


    "What is that?"


    Even as Legs asked, Tribe Chief Kohama was already leading the crowd to the great coliseum of the Kong Tribe that was built since the tribe''s inception.


    Captain Aegon exined as they left. "As you already well know, Sand Worms are the Apex Predators of the Great Desert".


    "Ranks between warriors of the tribes are determined by how many Sand Worms we have killed, I have killed 28 Sand Worms since bing a warrior".


    "We didn''t meet them on our way to fulfill the mission of the Vanguard Squad because over the years, we already mastered ways to evade them".


    "They no longer hunt us, when we meet them, it''s us hunting them".


    "Ok". Legs smiled. "I understand but I want to know about thepetition".


    "Oh, about that, it''s like aing of age ceremony".


    "Before young warriors are allowed into the wild to start hunting Sand Worms, they must first prove their mettle in the safer coliseum".


    "Over the years of hunting Sand Worms, we managed to capture some".


    "We keep them all in the coliseum".


    "In thispetition, our young uing warriors of 16 to 20 years would be pitted against each other in the coliseum to hunt Sand Worms".


    "The first one to hunt and kill a Sand Worm wins first prize".


    "But Din was just 18 years old¡­"


    "Din and Kamnak are special cases, they are champions".


    "Oh¡­" Legs finally understood.


    It only took them 2 minutes before they arrived before the massive coliseum.


    The coliseum was built like an oversized diator arena with massive walls surrounding it that were built using stones, it was so massive that Legs could barely see its end from where he stood, it was an ocean of sand.


    The spectating crowd watched from behind the wall of stones.


    Without hesitation, as the young promising warriors got prepared to enter the centerstage, Tribe Chief Kohama addressed the crowd again.


    As the Tribe Chief addressed them and as Legs watched, his eyes suddenly creased slightly as a crazy idea just went through his head.


    He turned and grabbed Captain Aegon. "Only natives can participate?"


    "What?"


    "Thepetition, are desert tribesmen the only ones that can participate?"


    "I''m not sure, outsiders have never seen our coliseum before so¡­"


    "Then it means there''s a chance". Legs''s eyes lit up excitedly as he grabbed him tighter. "I want my student to participate".


    "Huh?" Christensen and de who were behind their master were surprised as they looked at him with widened eyes.


    Legs turned to look at Christensen with a serious look on his face. "I trained you but I didn''t organize a proper graduation rite for you".


    "Let this be your proper graduation rite".


    "Go into that coliseum, hunt some Sand Worms and make me proud".


    "¡­" Christensen was speechless.


    In the end, he simply nodded as for some reason, perhaps feelingpetition from de already, he felt an urge to impress his master.


    Legs turned to face de with expectations on his face.


    "I am already a warrior, I won thepetition 2 years ago".


    "Oh¡­" Legs chuckled and patted him on the back.


    He turned to face Captain Aegon again who was short of words to say, he scratched his head. "Let me inform the Tribe Chief".


    As soon as Tribe Chief Kohama was informed, like Legs expected, he was not denied as Christensen became part of the contestants.


    Legs heaved a huge sigh of relief.


    For a long time, he thought of how to milk Christensen of his exclusive abilities, the speed of progress was just not fast enough for him.


    With thispetition now, things became easier for him since he could watch his student making full use of his abilities to hunt the Sand Worms.


    "Let thepetition begin".


    The massive wooden gates of the coliseum were opened as the contestants rushed inside before they were closed back the next moment.


    A tense atmosphere rose in the crowd as they watched with bated breaths.


    Sand Worms live under the sand and since they already witnessed their brothers being killed by the humans, in mostpetitions, they hide in the sand while thepetitors tracked and hunted them.


    This was not always the case though as there were some crazy Sand Worms who were fed up of the oppression and was why the crowd was tense.


    Thud!


    As soon as Christensennded on the coliseum, without hesitation, he activated the Beast ne Summoning ability as both Leo and Brutus arrived.


    "Woof!" Brutus jumped in shock on arriving.


    He turned to re at Christensen. "Where are we?"


    "I''m in apetition, I need to hunt and kill Sand Worms".


    "I''m not part of this suicidepetition, send me back".


    "No". Christensen red at the Shadow Hound.


    Smack!


    Leo wacked the smaller Hound on the head the next moment as he red at him, taunting him with his eyes and using him of cowardliness.


    Brutus snorted. "I hate na?vepanions the most, we''ll die in 6 months at this rate".


    "I''ll help you track them, but I''ll see how well you fare when you actually see one. Sand Worms are not your regr worms, these are beasts".


    Without hesitation, the Shadow Hound sprinted away, leading the way.


    Christensen mounted Leo and followed behind him.


    Up in the spectating ground, Legs smiled as his interface lit up.

    ----


    Through his exclusive auditory ability, Christensen could already hear the nibbling sounds deep in the sand as the Sand Worms nibbled restlessly.


    Through their sound, he already deduced how colossal these beasts were. He could track them alone but he brought Brutus for reassurance.


    After fighting many battles alongside his master, he was no longer the greenhorn who was new to battles, he was now an experienced veteran and already learned long ago to never underestimate his opponents.


    In just 4 minutes, he could no longer see any of the contestants as they already separated into different parts of the massive coliseum.


    This was when he heard it.


    Gri! Gri! Gri!


    It started softly at first like strange hissing and shrieking sounds.


    The next moment, it exploded in aggressiveness and loudness as a loud shrieking sound reverberated followed by the ground vibrating rapidly.


    Christensen became the first contestant to locate and attract a Sand Worm.


    Boom!


    This colossal creature finally dived out of the ground but having been tracking it since, Christensen already grabbed Brutus as Leo carried both of them, exploding with a speed burst to escape the damage area.


    The Sand Worm dived out of the ground and exposed its colossal form.


    On seeing the human and its beasts, it shrieked loudly.


    The Sand Worm was just like any other worm, just of a much more gigantic size. Its massive maws were filled with hundreds of dagger-sharp and spear-long teeth, and apparently, these beasts could control sand to attack.


    "Shriek!!!"


    It shrieked loudly as it exploded with speed towards Christensen.


    As it moved through the sand like a snake, the sand followed it as they formed colossal fists in the coliseum which now punched towards Christensen.


    After seeing the bulk of the beast, Christensen was no longer intimidated.


    He patted Brutus on the head. "I know your n but ditch it".


    "Remember we''re one. I die, you die".


    He grinned. "Cooperate with me let''s kill this beast".


    Brutus looked up at him and snorted. He dared not hesitate though as he activated his Invisible Shadow and Identity Merge special abilities.


    As soon as they turned invisible, Leo moved, escaping the Sand Worm''s deadly charge in the nick of time as they now nked the beast.


    It was now time for their counterattack.


    Christensen brought out the G-96 pistols. "Let''s show these beasts what we are made of".


    "Attack!"


    Leo exploded forward with speed as he howled loudly.

 Chapter 144 Christensens Show

    "Leo-Chris Beast Combo: Barrage of Death!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Christensen shed with the colossal Sand Worm like his life depended on it, the G-96 automatic pistols roared like thunder, rapidly spewing bullets at the beast as Brutus kept on wreaking mischief from the shadows.


    Brutus may not be abatant, but when it came to toying with enemies that were far more powerful than him, he was the best at it.


    The fact that he managed to toy with a Grade C Frost Wolf, stealing from right under its nose while still staying alive till today said a lot about his abilities.


    At this moment, Brutus against the Sand Worm was like the Batman vs Joker scenario. While the Sand Worm was Batman, Brutus was Joker.


    Sand Worms already had prettyme senses outside the sand.


    They had a bad sense of sight and smell, they mostly sense through touch.


    With his shadow powers, Brutus toyed with this massive beast. He hindered his sight even more as the Sand Worm''s tiny eyes kept on squinting to no avail, he also used his abilities to mess with its sense of direction.


    Leo may not have ess to his ice abilities but having limatized to the desert already, the power that he had ess to was enough.


    "Leo, Weather Maniption!"


    After biding his time for 5 minutes as the battle raged, Legs finally gave the order as Leo without hesitation used his weather maniption powers.


    Instantly, the temperature in this part of the collision dropped rapidly.


    Shriek!


    The startled Sand Worm was spooked by the temperature change.


    As a warm-blooded animal that loved only hot regions, after losing its sight, and suddenly feeling the temperature turn cold, this colossal beast panicked.


    Through his master, Christensen learned a lot of things.


    One of these things was that every opponent no matter how powerful had weaknesses that could be targeted, knowing these weaknesses were part of his work as a Summoner to be a greater Summoner than his master.


    By knowing Kiddo''s love for lollipop choctes, his master was able to tame the extremely dangerous Chefron. Knowing that ck Master Einstein''s weakness was the alien machine, Legs attacked it to buy their escape.


    These 2 were just part of the examples that he already saw his master do.


    Through all these examples, he learned.


    Since the Sand Worm was a warm-blooded beast, if he decreased the temperature, the beast would definitely be left flustered.


    And as he expected, the Sand Worm panicked.


    Christensen was not about to miss this heavenly window of opportunity.


    "Now!"


    Leo pounced on the beast savagely as Christensen sprinted under its colossal form. The Sand Worm may tower over Leo, but his teeth and ws could still deal damage to the colossal beast as it shrieked.


    Through Captain Aegon during their travels, Legs already heard of Sand Worms previously and knew that their main weakness was their genitals.


    Christensen went under this beast and aimed with his pistols.


    He was ruthless, he pulled the trigger.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    "SHRIEK!!!"


    The Sand Worm shrieked loudly in pain and agony as its balls shattered, it fell down dead the next moment just in time for Christensen to escape from under it.


    Christensen became the contestant to kill the first Sand Worm.


    He turned to his beasts with a smile. "Good job".


    He smiled at Brutus. "You see how easy it is when we work together?"


    The Shadow Hound snorted without replying.


    Christensen smiled as his eyes gleamed with even more excitement. "I''m not stopping here, let''s hunt more".


    ¡­


    As soon as Christensen killed the first Sand Worm, Sand Worms erupted in other locations as the other contestants started killing also.


    Some contestants were unlucky, 4 of them already died to the Sand Worms.


    Also, as more Sand Worms died, the others were intimidated as none of them came out of their hideouts to attack the humans anymore. They were content with staying still at the dark depths of the sand and hiding.


    After 30 minutes, Christensen already killed his 2nd Sand Worm, tying the record that de and 3 other warriors of the Desert Tribes held.


    He did not stop here though. "I want more!"


    Since the Sand Worms were all hiding now, the other contestants who had not killed yet were handicapped as they could not track the beasts.


    All of them suffered this handicap, except Christensen.


    Christensen was determined as he tracked under the ground after another Sand Worm. It took him 20 minutes to finish tracking to the depths where this beast was content with hiding, and due to Brutus, the Sand Worm did not discover him.


    Legs was the one who benefited most from these golden 20 minutes.

    Legs was all smiles as he watched his student force the Sand Worm out.


    More experienced already with dealing with its kind, Christensen only needed 4 minutes topletely thrash this beast.


    Sand Worms were gigantic beasts with even more ridiculous strength but with the right technique and once you knew them, killing them was easy.


    With this kill, Christensen broke the record of the desert tribes.


    All the spectators watching were impressed as they cheered him on.


    2 minutester, thepetition was finally brought to an end.


    A few minutester, Christensen stood alongside Tribe Chief Kohama as he received his prize for grabbing first position in the Sand Wormpetition.


    He received a specially crafted bow and arrow with a long history in the Kong Tribe. Despite having the G-96 pistols already, this bow was still extremely useful as it had a range as ridiculous as any mainstream sniper that Legs knew.


    With that, the celebration of the heroes finally came to an end.


    ¡­


    Outside the territory of the Kong Tribe¡­


    Legs and his students said theirst goodbyes to the warriors of the Vanguard Squad. "I''ll definitely miss you guys".


    Theyughed as they used this to mask their sadness. None of them wanted to see themselves crying, that would be embarrassing, they were men.


    "I''ll miss Aegon''s seriousness".


    "I''ll also miss Arnold''s ''so noisy'' catchphrase, haha". Legsughed.


    "Damn, I''ll miss all of you".


    "That''s enough big head". Captain Aegon smiled.


    "Find some time to visit, I would also love to visit you but you know, I''m a Tribe Chief candidate already". His smile turned bitter.


    After saying theirst goodbyes, they all left, leaving Altan. Altan sought some private time with Legs beyond his 2 students.


    There, he clenched his fists as he looked down. "I want to be like you, I want to serve the Hermit".


    He raised his head and looked into Legs''s eyes as his eyes burned with a fiery fervency. "I already forsaked my god, I now want to serve the Hermit".


    "He was the god who answered in my time of need, I will serve him with all my heart and soul forever!"


    "¡­"


    Legs felt goosebumps as he listened to this. ''Is he still ok?''


    He already knew that Altan was a religious nut but he didn''t know that it was so intense, the mere thought of someone worshipping him felt so crazy to him that he felt a chill crawling down his smile.


    He forced a smile. "The Hermit wees all followers any time".


    "In your private time, you can pray to him, he will tell you what to do".


    Altan became extremely emotional. "Thank you".


    As Altan returned, Legs and his students finally left the desert.

 Chapter 145 Richards Real Identity

    The headquarters of the Pugilist Academy was located in the Western Continent, this was where the leaders of this organization worked from.


    To all Pugilists of the Pugilist Academy, it was that special time of every 4 years again. Every 4 years, the Pugilist Academy organize a graduation ceremony for the grandaunts from the academy and a promotion ceremony also.


    After 4 years of faithful service in his regiment, Richard Keane was finally able to fulfill his dream as he worked his way up all the way to promotion.


    He was about to be made a Captain of the Pugilist Army.


    Alongside the other warriors who impressed enough for a promotion, they sat in a room dressed in the iconic grey military uniform of the Pugilist Army.


    Without even looking, the loud noise already told them of the boisterous atmosphere that was outside. And when they looked through the windows, their breath was stolen by the sheer number of spectators who came to celebrate them.


    The promotion ceremony eclipsed the graduation ceremony for the students, 70% of the spectators who were here came to see them.


    As Richard looked, a look of contentment came over his face.


    For the past 4 years, despite the riches of his father, the wealthy merchant Keane, he never felt satisfied, he only felt satisfied when exposed to war and chaos.


    To fulfill his dreams, he sacrificed and abandoned everything, his inheritance, his family, he abandoned everything just to pursue his dreams.


    And after 4 years, he was finally reaping his rewards.


    The noise exploded louder all of a sudden and when he looked alongside the other soldiers, he felt his breath temporarily seize on seeing the iconic bald head, the Grandmaster and leader of the Pugilist Academy, Jon Stones.


    This man was already over a hundred years old but his face nor his physique showed it, he still looked like a middle-aged man that was in his prime.


    This man was the strongest Pugilist in Darvis.


    At a young age, he was rumored to lose all his hair due to too much training.


    The soldiers would have the privilege of receiving their new ranks from this legend of the Pugilist Academy, they all stood up as they were finally summoned.


    Alongside the others, Richard went outside and stood before the spectators inside therge coliseum where the promotion ceremony was held.


    The bald-haired man took centerstage and addressed the soldiers. "Congrattions to all 20 of you for making the benchmark to be promoted".


    "For 4 years, the Pugilist Academy saw your contributions to making our and the academy better and we recognize it".


    "Today, on this pinning ceremony, your efforts are rewarded".


    "Even as you obtain your new ranks, do not forget the motto of the Pugilist Academy". With a serious look on his face, this man ced a hand to his chest. "Breaking the limits of physical strength is our goal".


    He grinned. "Never stop working hard".


    Then heughed as he proudly rubbed his bald head. "My head is proof of hard work, there''s nothing on this that my head can''t smash through".


    "Remember, if you work hard in training, fighting is easy".


    As soon as he finished his little motivational speech to the 20 soldiers, the chosen candidates who would pin the soldiers with their new ranks came forward.


    Most of the candidates were closepanions to the soldiers, mostly family. Only Richard''s was different, he never told his family about his promotion.


    His assistant in the army whose job was simr to a squire of the medieval age came forward as he helped his superior pin the rank to his uniform.


    After that, celebrations started.


    2 hourster, as the celebrations continued, Richard excused himself after drinking too much as he seemed to walk towards a random destination.


    To others, he was walking randomly and this enabled him to smoothly evade suspicion. A few minutester, with his new rank and the authority that followed it, he was able to enter a restricted area of the army headquarters.


    As soon as he entered inside, Richard wore a special cloak which turned him invisible. In this state, he was able to bypass all security to ess the core library of the army.


    In there, Richard soon found what he wanted.


    He saw a massive book with an eye-catching title.


    >Records of Orc Civilization<


    His eyes gleamed sharply as he saw this book, picking a book from its spot for a long period would trigger an rm so he started flipping through it there.


    8 minutester, he found the page and line that he was looking for.


    >After the 2nd Cataclysm, all super life was wiped away from the<


    >Through the records of the Orc Civilization, we attained super energy<


    >We also discovered the location of the coordinates of the Western energy node of the core where the Orc drew their energy from<


    Richard''s eyes narrowed as he saw this.


    >The coordinates was located right under our nose<


    >It is located in¡­<


    ng!


    The door to the library opened as Richard''s nerves tightened.


    Putting faith in his invisible state, as carefully as he could, he flipped the page over and read thest and most important line that he needed.


    >It is located in the Orc tower, they used it to harness its energy<


    Thud! Thud!


    Richard rolled as silently as he could into a hiding ce before ducking. He bid his time for 25 minutes until the librarians left, this was when he finally left his hiding spot as he escaped out of the library.


    On getting to his room, Richard drew a circr ultic drawing on the ground before sitting down cross-legged in its center.


    He cut his wrist with a knife and dripped his blood on the circr drawing.


    The blood sizzled the next moment as he closed his eyes.


    "Clown the Almighty, I have fulfilled my mission".


    "It is located in the Orc tower".


    With his eyes still tightly closed, he waited.


    5 minutester, a voice whispered into his ears. "Good job¡­"


    "Stay in their ranks and infiltrate deeper, when the timees for us to take over everything and build the order of chaos, we will need your help".


    Richard sped his hands. "It is an honor to serve the order of chaos".

 Chapter 146 Team Blue Autumn Battle Formation

    "Help!" "Help!"


    A man on torn clothes with blood on some part of his body ran from the nearby forest screaming for help as he sprinted to the border of the Blue Scale Shelter. As soon as he saw others, he screamed louder for help.


    "Help me!"


    "Save my sheep!"


    "We were attacked by a pack of wolves!"


    In the midst of the dozens of humans who were at the border of the shelter engaging in different business, there were 7 yers mixed among them.


    They saw and heard everything as the man cried for help.


    The next moment, their virtual interface lit up.


    [You have triggered Grade F Mission: Save the Shepherd''s Sheep!]


    [Mission Details: The Shepherd''s Sheep have been attacked by a pack of wolves, help the Shepherd and save his sheep from the vicious Wolves.]


    [Mission Reward: 2000 Experience Points.]


    Raining Sword''s eyes gleamed as this mission appeared before them.


    For the past 2 days, alongside the other members of the Blue Autumn pro team and the in-game guild leader, they searched for the mysterious NPC.


    In his opinion, since they couldn''t see the NPC within 2 days, their chances of seeing him again was now too low but it was due to Ghost Sentry and Blue River''s belief that the NPC woulde that he didn''t order them to leave yet.


    They didn''t spend the past 2 days in idleness, as professional yers, it was paramount that they get ahead of regr yers in preparation for tournaments.


    This was why they took on different missions to level up non-stop.


    In just 2 days, Raining Sword and 3 other yers in the pro team already became Grade F superhumans.


    At the border of the shelter was a small market where they sell literally everything, they came here to purchase weapons before the little interruption.


    "It''s a Grade F Mission, which means there''ll likely be no Grade E beast". Raining Sword calcted as he arrived at a decision on the spot.


    "Buy your weapons fast, we are taking this mission".


    Raining Sword urged the orders to finalize their deals as he also paid for a medium-sized one-handed sword. As the Captain and best yer of the Blue Autumn team, his teammates respected him as they finalized their orders.


    In just a few seconds, they allpleted the purchases and equipped themselves with weapons as without hesitation, they ran towards the forest.


    Following the direction where the man pointed a finger to as he ran while asking for help, they were able to locate the ughter ground in no time.


    A ce where Wolves fight against Sheep was not a battlefield, it was a literal ughter ground as they stood no chance towards the menacing Wolves.


    During the past 2 days, as Raining Sword interacted more with Ghost Sentry, he already grew to like him as he now actively taught him about professional gaming. He was about to show this newbie another example.


    "Awooo!"


    On seeing them, some of the Wolves started howling even as the others feasted on other Sheep that they already killed before now.


    Seeing that the humans were not intimidated, the Wolf that seemed to be the alpha of the pack was angered as it finally started charging towards them as the others followed behind it.


    Raining Sword turned to look at his new recruit. "Watch and learn".


    "The national Dominator cup tournament will start as soon as this version of the game ends, you need to get yourself ustomed to how we battle as a team".


    "Apart from the individual battle tournaments, there is the team battle tournament where 5 warriors participate from one team with 1 substitute".


    "The Blue Autumn team uses the bnced battle formation".


    "I am the main man who does most of the job in the team, I don''t have a specific role, I attack, I defend, I do everything to ensure that we win".


    "Mad Dog is our defender, he''ll choose the Elementalist main ss, specifically bing an Earth Elementalist".


    "Fiery Witch is our main damage dealer, she''ll choose the Elementalist main ss also, specifically a Fire Elementalist".


    "Wun Wun is our controller, he makes sure that we stick to our battle n when the going gets tough. In the professional scene, this role is very important".


    "He will be a Summoner".


    "As for Nurse She, she is our support, a Water Elementalist who will focus on mainly learning support and healing water abilities".


    "As for Bruise Psycho, our substitute, he''ll also be a Pugilist. A versatile one that can be subbed into the game under any scenario to help".


    "We may not have main sses yet but watch to get the basics".


    "Awoo!!!"


    The Wolves finally arrived directly before the humans as they pounced on them. Raining Sword was not flustered as with his sword tightly in his grasp, he ducked as he smoothly slid under the Alpha wolf while slicing one of its legs.


    It roared as it tried to attack him from above but it''s nonchnce for the other humans proved costly as Mad Dog descended with his war hammer.


    Every single one of these yers were elite.


    Since he was not an Elementalist yet, as a yer who favored heavy sses, Mad Dog bought a war hammer as he now mmed it against the Wolf''s head.


    Boom!


    The Wolf suffered a concussion instantly as it jerked.


    Before it could recover, from the back, Fiery Witch already arrived with her pair of sharp daggers as she rapidly stuck them into its head from the nks, leaving its head full of holes and ending its life.


    Bam! Bam!


    From the back, Bruise Psycho pulled the trigger as the pair of flintlocks roared, ending another Wolf''s life. With the amount of money that he had, the best that Bruise Psycho could get from the market were flintlocks.


    The battle progressed very smoothly as Ghost Sentry watched, amazed.


    The teamwork between these teammates was impable.


    With his incredible agility and experience, Raining Sword kept on distracting the Wolves, giving the opportunity for his teammates to ughter them.


    Despite still being weak Grade F superhumans, they ughtered all 12 Wolves that made up this pack in less than 5 minutes.


    Raining Sword stood up as he wiped the blood away from his sword. "And that is how we fight as a team".


    ¡­


    "F*ck, these damn beasts!"


    "Can''t they just let me travel through their territory in peace? Bastards!"


    Horny Assassin cursed as he traveled through the forest.


    After being arrested by the guards of the Timbend Shelter, it took 2 hours for them to verify that the yers had no rtionship to the Clown Society but as penalty for the scare, they were punished tobor for 24 hours.


    Horny Assassin almost cried as hebored for 24 hours, it was afterpleting hisbour that he was finally allowed to leave.


    Without hesitation, he started his journey to the Blue Scale Shelter.


    His onlyint was that the beasts were too meddlesome.


    A few minutester, he saw another Vicious Chamelion.


    "F*ck¡­.!"


    "Huh?"


    A few distance away, 2 humans were attracted by the sound. With their Auditory Tracking ability, they easily heard and recognized the familiar voice.


    Christensen turned to look at his master. "It''s that guy with that crazy catchphrase".


    "Yeah¡­" Legs could already feel a headacheing.


    They continued walking forward.


    A few minutester, Horny Assassin saw the silhouette of 3 humansing. He heaved a sigh of relief but on looking closer, he was stunned.


    He rubbed his eyes, and after confirming, he jumped excitedly to express his joy. "F*ck Liverpool!"


    "F*ck Liverpool!"


    "Manchester f*cking united man!"


    Legs rubbed his nose. "Where are the others?"


    "They''re probably waiting for us".

 Chapter 147 Beast Combatant Main Class

    "Faction leader, it''s nice to meet you again". Ghost Sentry was excited.


    "Faction leader, meet our new friends".


    Legs had a curious look on his face as he swept a nce through the usernames of all 6 new yers that stood before him, then he almost coughed blood the next moment as his eyes secretly widened.


    ''The heck! It''s these guys?''


    ''These guys are legends!''


    Though he knew before now that Blue River was the guild leader of the Blue Mist Guild, he never expected their pro team yers toe straight to him.


    Legs would never forget the looks of the 6 legendary yers who overcame all odds, defeating all renowned international game clubs to emerge as the winner of the International tournament cup in Version 2.


    Looking at them now from the perspective of an NPC felt so strange to him.


    Back in his previous life, he remembered being one of the Sword God''s most avid fans. This guy was that talented with his sword.


    He was voted 3 years in a row as the best yer of Dominator.


    Seeing his funky-styled blonde hair again left Legs feeling a deep sense of nostalgia.


    "It is our pleasure to meet a Great warrior of your caliber".


    Raining Sword was all smiles as he took on the professional speak-to-NPC mode to effectivelymunicate with this NPC and get what he wanted.


    Seeing this brought even more nostalgia to Legs as he smiled.


    "You''ve done a good job". Legs patted Blue River on the back.


    Though he was once an avid fan of the Sword God, at this moment though, he was a reincarnator of 2 worlds who needed to be in control and be the boss.


    He looked at the 6 new warriors that were before him.


    "You came at the right time when I needed more warriors".


    "Wee to Legs''s Faction".


    Legs sent the faction invitation and they did not dy.


    -----


    A new yer has epted your faction invitation: Raining Sword


    A new yer has epted your faction invitation: Mad Dog


    A new yer has epted your faction invitation: Fiery Witch


    A new yer has epted your faction invitation: Wun Wun


    A new yer has epted your faction invitation: Nurse She


    A new yer has epted your faction invitation: Bruise Psycho


    [PREVIOUS: A new character has epted your faction invitation: de]


    ¡­


    Faction: Legs''s Faction


    Member capacity: 1000


    Current members: 13/1000


    You have ced new items in the faction shop


    [Shop: 5 Basic Summoner knowledge, 5 Basic Elementalist knowledge, 1 Intermediate Summoner knowledge, 4 Basic Pugilist knowledge, umon grade weapons, high-grade pills and potions.]


    ----


    After bing a Grade D Summoner, the previous limit of 10 members for his faction increased exponentially to a maximum of 1000 members.


    Prepared to wow them this time, Legs made the faction shop more appetizing. After his exploits during the time period that the yers went on their holiday, he already became a much richer and equipped faction leader.


    His riches from looting the Clown Society Red Master''s storage ring were still plentiful, and his other dealings gave him even more riches to flex.


    With his current wealth, it was too easy to wow new yers.


    "Wow!"


    Like he expected, their eyes literally turned into star lights on seeing the sheer quality and number of items that were on the faction shop.


    Raining Sword''s eyes gleamed as he thought. ''This is the real deal''.


    With his faction members now up to 13, Legs could finally implement some ns and experiments that he had in mind before now.


    "Get ready, we''ll be traveling to the Northern continent soon".


    "Yes, faction leader".


    None of themined as they went to get set.


    As they left including de, Christensen stayed behind as he looked at his master with a look of pride on his face.


    Legs was amused. "What happened?"


    "I finally finished learning it".


    "Learning what?"


    "My first Intermediate Summoner Knowledge". As he said it, Christensen''s eyes squinted as he could not suppress his joy.


    "Wow, that''s nice". Even Legs was visibly surprised.


    After tackling with this Intermediate Summoner knowledge for such a long time, Christensen finally learned it and not just that, this enabled him to break his limits as he got to the limits of the Summoner main ss.


    Without a virtual interface like Legs, he was not sure of what happened but he felt that he now hit a bottleneck as he exined to his master.


    Legs smiled. "It''s a good thing".


    "Huh?"


    "You are ready to advance into an even better Summoner".


    "¡­" Christensen was confused.


    Legs sat his student down as he started another lecture session.


    "As we grow stronger, our main ss grows stronger with us as our specialties diversifies. After hitting a certain point, to grow stronger as a Summoner, you''ll need to advance into a more focused Summoner".


    "The Summoner main ss diversifies into 2 main sses".


    "The Shepherd and Beast Combatant main sses".


    "I diversified into the Shepherd main ss and was how I gained the abilities to empower Lucky and Ak''s leadership powers over their packs".


    "While the Shepherd main ss focused more on the collective, the Beast Combatant main ss focuses much more on the individual".


    "Beast Combatants gain the greatest strength boost when integrating with their beasts, and their beasts receive far greater individual bonuses than those of Summoners, making them much stronger individually".


    "The decision to choose which type you want to diversify into relies on you".


    "You know yourself best".


    "Choose what you think will work for you and strive towards it".


    "When you are ready, I will help you gather the remaining Basic Summoner knowledges. I think with that, you can smoothly advance".


    Legs was about to leave as Christensen hesitated but he eventually asked. "Master, after staying with you for so long, I believe in your judgement more than mine even if it concerns myself".


    Legs turned to face his student. "That''s concerning".


    Christensen smiled. "Please give me advise on which one to choose".


    "Well, if you want". Legs smiled. "To be a great Shepherd, you need to be extremely intelligent and have great decision making and experience".


    "Effectivelymanding a battalion of beasts requires smartness and experience which are not exactly some of your strongest points".


    "If you''re not smart and experienced enough, too much beasts will drag you down instead of augmenting your strength".


    "As for the Beast Combatant, all you need is skill".


    "Skill and battle instincts are the greatest traits of any Beast Combatant".


    "Through your exclusive abilities, you already showed your proficiency and talent when ites to yourself, you''re incredibly talented".


    "You created a killer move with Leo when I still can''t with any of my beasts".


    "If you be a Beast Combatant, not only will your tracking abilities with Brutus be even stronger, Leo will be a far more formidable Frost Wolf".


    "And if you use your 3rd beast slot to get another beast with frost affinity, you would be able to form a lethal partnership between all your beasts".


    "So¡­" Legs smiled. "Which one do you choose?"


    Christensenughed. "You didn''t even leave me with a choice".


    "I''ll be a Beast Combatant".


    "I think that''s the only way that I have a chance of exceeding you".


    Legsughed. "You still have that dream? Good luck exceeding me".


    "I will".


    Theyughed as they packed their things and reunited with the other members of Legs''s faction, then without any more dys, they finally set on their journey to the faraway Northern continent.

 Chapter 148 Black Master Abaddon

    Honk!


    As soon as the loud sound of the horn reverberated, the warriors protecting the gate went to work as the massive gate of the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance was raised up to let the cart through.


    Pulling the luxurious cart were 2 majestic Speed Horses.


    The purple cart was carrying the 2 most prestigious warriors of the Core Protection Alliance, Core Protector Shanks and Core Protector Levi.


    These 2 old men were the only Grade C Warriors of the Core Protection Alliance. Whereas Core Protector Shanks was a celebrated veteran of the Summoner Academy, Core Protector Levi was from the Elementalist Academy.


    They rarely engage in day-to-day activities in the headquarters, leaving the administrative duties to the representatives of the various academies.


    They only appear when the core was threatened.


    Today was a different case though, due to the ongoing terrorist unrest in the, after being pressured by thewful organizations, King Tom finally relented and invited the most prestigious individuals in the to his pce.


    Inside the purple cart, these 2 old men chatted.


    Core Protector Shanks rubbed his finely groomed red hair that was already being mixed with a tinge of white. "Do you think we''ll see some old friends there?"


    Leviughed. "It''s the King''s summons after all, who can refuse?"


    "Stones can".


    Levi was stunned as he chuckled and rubbed his ck hair. "That old geezer, he definitely can".


    "Do you remember yourst duel with him?"


    Shanks'' face turned livid. "I''ll never forget that block head of his, in my dreams, I can still feel the pain and terror of his headbutt".


    "Hahaha". Core Protector Levi threw his head back andughed.


    Without a word, the warrior controlling the 2 Speed Horses focused on the road as he solemnly fulfilled his duty of transporting these 2 legends.


    Of course, though he tried, he could not prevent himself from listening in on their conversations as they made the atmosphere much lighter.


    The headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance was located in the middle of Darvis, built on top the core. Surrounding its massive walls were stony hills and a forest that was filled with wildlife.


    At this moment, as the cart was pulled away from the headquarters, 2 warriors in red attire hiding in the woods observed everything from the hills.


    They soon left, going deeper inside the hill.


    Inside the hill was a squad of warriors consisting of roughly 40 superhuman warriors. About 15 of them were cloth in red, majority were cloth in blue, while one of them, the one who seemed to be their leader was cloth in ck.


    With a sword scar running across his face, this man looked as fearsome as a Bear as he nonchntly feast on the raw meat of a Tiger that he just killed.


    The 2 warriors in red attire finally returned as they kneeled before him.


    "ck Master Abaddon, the cart already moved".


    This man in ck looked up as his fearsome eyes red at his subordinates while he licked the fresh blood on his lips, they gulped.


    "Good". He grinned. "In 10 minutes, we attack".


    "Yes, ck Master".


    This was the 3rd ck Master of the Clown Society. Known for his viciousness and brutality, unlike the 2 other ck Masters of the Clown Society, Abaddon did not fight for any patriotic chaos, he was simply a maniac who loved killing.


    His name Abaddon meant Doom and Destruction. Rumors say that his father gave him the name, cursing him to a lifetime of killing and destruction because of his sin of taking his mother''s life whileing to this life.


    He picked up his spiked gloves the next moment as he wore them, then he licked the sharp spikes with his tongue. Blood flowed but he didn''t care.


    The pain and blood stimted his bloodthirstiness all the more.


    He shuddered as he thought about prey that would soon fall victim to him.


    10 minutester, he stood up.


    By now, the cart was already pulled far away from this location.


    Without saying any word to his subordinates, Abaddon clenched his fists as he exploded forward with speed towards the headquarters the next moment.


    A Grade C Pugilist sprinting was a different sight entirely.


    Boom!


    By using a movement ability, as his aggressive Pugilist energy red, Abaddon broke the sound barrier as he arrived before the massive gates the next moment. Before the warriors protecting the gate could react, he attacked.


    He stretched his right hand back before punching at the gate.


    "Abaddon Specialty: Fist of Destruction!"


    BOOM!


    This time, the sound was like exploding dominoes.


    The gate stood no chance, the force pulled and tore it apart as the metallic fragments from it injured dozens of warriors who manned the gate.


    Abaddon beat his chest with his spiked gloves maniacally.


    "Attack!"


    Once his subordinates arrived, everything became much easier. With their revered ck Master taking the lead tearing deeper into the headquarters like it was not there, these psychopaths were free to destroy everything.


    With the 2 Protectors gone, the representatives of the different academies were the strongest warriors of the headquarters now but they were only pinnacle Grade D superhumans.


    The male Dwarf Commander representing the Elementalist Academy led the defense. With his Elementalist staff, he induced terror and destruction.


    He was a master of AOE damage but they meant nothing before Abaddon.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The fist attacks of this Pugilist where like divine judgement from heaven, everything that was on its receiving end was destroyedpletely.


    The male Dwarf Commander dared not face this Pugilist head-on as he kept his distance in the air while bombarding him with fire attacks.


    In just a minute, over a hundred warriors of the Core Protection Alliance where left in a pool of their own blood as the rampage continued.


    A minute was what was needed though as the other Commanders of the Alliance finally erected their defense shield, but they were in for a rude awakening.


    On seeing the blue shield, Abaddon''s eyes constricted.


    His body seemed to expand as his strength amplified while his Pugilist energy turned more forceful, the next moment he threw 3 consecutive fist attacks.


    "Abaddon Specialty: 3 Doom Burst!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The shield that they were so confident of popped like a balloon.


    The male Dwarf Commander was terribly injured by the shockwave of this attack as he coughed blood in the air, he rapidly retreated.


    This attack showed them that they stood no chance against this superhuman, the Commanders all retreated to thest defense line of the alliance, the well-protected bunker that stood directly on top the core.


    There they erected the shield again and much morepact now, it was finally able to defend against the attacks of Abaddon though barely.


    From the bunker where the shield was erected, the Commanders watched helplessly as their warriors who were outside the shield were ughtered.


    They badly wanted to go outside and help but they stood no chance before Abaddon. In 10 minutes, the alliance headquarters turned into a river of blood.


    Satisfied, Abaddon finally retreated with his fellow psychopaths.


    Inside the shield, all the Commanders copsed on the ground alongside the few survivors of the Core Protection Alliance, they clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.


    "Have you informed the Core Protectors?" The handsome blonde-haired representative of the Hunter Union asked as he tended to his injuries.


    "Yes". The tall female representative of the Summoner Academy replied.


    So, there they waited, afraid ofing out of the bunker.


    ¡­


    Apart from probably the legendary Chefron, Speed Horses were the fastest beasts in Darvis. It took the 2 Core Protectors only a few minutes before they crossed therge distance to arrive at the royal pce.


    As soon as they went inside, they were led to the hall where the gathering would take ce. King Tom entered the hall 5 minutester.


    King Tom was a tall and handsome middle-aged King with pitch-ck hair.


    "Let the gathering begin". The middle-aged King ordered.


    There were no unnecessary pleasantries, the assistant who represented the Grade D leader of the Hunter Union spoke. "Your Grace, we have witnessed the viciousness and threat of the Clown Society firsthand".


    "They managed to take the whole by storm in just a few weeks, now, new discoveries say they are dealing with alien machines".


    "They already awakened dead enemies, the Ancient Titans".


    "We don''t fully know what they are capable of yet but we can all agree that they are extremely dangerous and pose a threat to us, this is why we asked for this meeting for you to give the order to go against them".


    "If the orderes from you, the whole will unite and go against them".


    "We need to nip them in the bud while we still have the chance".


    King Tom adjusted himself in his chair. "Do all of you agree to this?"


    "Yes, Your Grace".


    "I appreciate your unity towards thismon enemy but¡­" His eyes narrowed. "My father, your previous King died just the year before and I dered 3 years as the mourning period, it''s not 3 years yet".


    "The Clown Society or whatever they''re called is not the first terrorist threat neither will it be thest, we''ve seen them, we''ve experienced them and Darvis survived them all".


    "They''ll fade like all the others".


    "But my King¡­"


    "My decision is final, there shall be norge-scale war until my father is fully mourned like I ordered".


    Beep! Beep!


    Core Protector Levi and Shanks looked at theirmunication device then their eyes narrowed, the next moment, they both stood up.


    "Your Majesty, the Core Protection Alliance was just attacked".


    Without mincing words, they exined everything to the King.


    "Even with this, will you still not give the order?"


    King Tom red at both Grade C superhumans who didn''t flinch under his gaze. "My decision is final".


    "This gathering is dismissed".


    "You will regret that decision". Core Protector Shanks said before standing up and without acknowledging the King, he left.


    The others also left.


    King Tom gritted his teeth as they left. "Arrogant bastards".


    The Hand of the King fidgeted. "Your Grace, but¡­"


    "My decision is final!"


    "Yes, Your Grace".

 Chapter 149 Orc Warlord Zeke

    Like in the Core Protection Alliance, that morning, for the first time in years, the headquarters of the Pugilist Academy was without their talisman.


    Jon Stones'' presence made the Pugilist Academy a powerhouse.


    The name alone was a legend in Darvis.


    It was what made the Pugilist Academy a deterrence to all other organizations in this, the title of the strongest Pugilist was no joke.


    Despite the absence of their leader, there was no disruption in activities in the headquarters as the academy and the army continued functioning.


    That morning, Richard was sent on a patrol mission to the Orc tower.


    As one of the most well-protected locations in the headquarters, Richard was only qualified to patrol here due to his recent promotion in the army.


    Alongside the 3 other warriors that were sent here, they chatted.


    "I still can''t believe we were allowed to patrol here on our 2nd day since promotion, our luck must be heavenly". The only female in the group said as she could not mask her excitement.


    "I''ve only ever seen it from afar, I''ve never been this close to it".


    After getting close enough, alongside the others, Richard admired the majesty of this tower. Standing at 300 meters tall, the Orc tower was the 2ndrgest building in Darvis only behind the tower of the Ancient Dragons.


    As the others admired the sheer size of the tower, behind them, Richard slowly released the strap of his sword.


    The next moment, he took a step as he hit his 3panions on the head with the sheath of his sword, expertly knocking them unconscious.


    Richard ducked as soon as he knocked them unconscious as he observed his surroundings, making sure that he was not discovered before dragging them to a corner. He cut tree leaves from a nearby tree which he covered them with.


    After this, Richard patted them before entering inside the tower through the door. All soldiers were forbidden from entering the tower except Jon Stones himself, but today, Richard broke this rule.


    As soon as he locked the door, he drew the familiar circr ultic drawing on the ground as he performed the descent ritual.


    Richard cut his wrist again as he let his blood drip down on the ritual ground.


    He closed his eyes and muttered some words in Ancient Darvis.


    "Descent ritual¡­"


    Bzzz!


    Unlike the descent ritual in Palm Ind where the Blue Master had to sacrifice his life and those of his subordinates, Richard was a Red Master and was stronger, he didn''t need to kill himself to enable the descent.


    With a slight shift in the space, Clown descended in the tower.


    Like in the Palm Ind, Clown was cloth in a ck robe and a ck hood. Only his fiery red eyes that glowed shone from beneath the hood.


    Richard bowed to pay his respects. "Clown the Almighty".


    "Rise up, you have done amendable job".


    As he spoke, without hesitation, he was already levitating deeper into the tower as Richard rushed after him. Unlike when he descended in Palm Ind, he masked his aurapletely this time, alerting no one of his presence.


    Clown searched around the tower for 15 minutes impatiently before he finally found it, the space node that led to the ne where the Orcs inhabited.


    He grinned. "Finally".


    "That old geezer has kept me waiting for far too long, finally".


    Curious, Richard finally asked. "Is old man Stones really as strong as portrayed? I''ve never felt threatened around him as much as I feel around you".


    Clown turned to face Richard. "You''re too weak to feel his threat".


    "After I just became a Grade C superhuman, when I was younger and more hot-blooded, renowned as the warrior who would be the strongest in the, I challenged him to a duel and fought him".


    He kept quiet for a few seconds as if he was reminiscing. "He beat me in 5 seconds".


    "That old geezer is not an opponent that we should antagonize now".


    "Wait till the right time and then he''ll die".


    He finally jumped in through the node.


    Richard hesitated a bit but, in the end, he jumped after him.


    ¡­


    This was an unstable ne; the skies had red fractures snaking through it like the world would soone to an end here.


    This was the half-destroyed ne where the survivors of the Ancient Orc Empire were forced to after the Cataclysm.


    The poption here was not much but they were all Orcs.


    The young Orcs yed in the massive valley, hitting their massive wooden war hammers against each other as they engaged in y diator battles.


    As they yed, the airspace suddenly shifted before them.


    Bzzz!


    2 strange creatures fell out of the crack in the air.


    The young Orcs were startled but they were not afraid as they held their wooden war hammers and red at these creatures warily like they were rare beasts, they separated into a formation as they circled them.


    "Tsk". Clown licked his lips and ignored the young Orcs as he inhaled the air of this ne.


    Richard felt a little unwell all of a sudden as he touched his nose only to feel blood, he was surprised but Clown spoke before he could.


    "Your constitution is too weak to survive here beyond 2 hours".


    "Let''s go see their leader".


    They barely walked before they heard heavy thudding sounds.


    8 massive green Orcs with armor, wielding Battle Axe and War Hammers sprinted to this location as they surrounded them in no time.


    Their leader hissed as he looked closer at them. "Humans!"


    Clown grinned. "You know us, good, take me to your leader".


    "You have no right¡­!"


    Bam!


    Clown moved so fast that his mechanical left hand already grabbed the Orc Warrior by the neck while his right hand casually flicked his staff.


    "If you know about humans, then you also know about Elementalists".


    "With one flick of my staff, I can incinerate you into ashes".


    "Take me to your leader".


    This Orc Warrior stared bravely at him without fear, he grinned. "Human,ing here was your mistake, you''ll never leave here alive".


    Clown chuckled. "You''re a foolish one, they say I''m a crazy one, nice fit".


    "Well, you''ll die for your foolishness".


    Without hesitation, he flicked his Elementalist staff.


    Whoosh!


    Mid-swing, a pair of powerful hands grabbed the staff. Within the timeframe of milliseconds while this staff swung, this Orc was able to sprint over from an unknown distance, arriving right on time to save this Orc Warrior.


    Clown turned to look at this warrior as he grinned.


    "I take it that you''re the leader here".


    The Orc turned to look at him. "I am Orc Warlord Zeke, the only male survivor of the cataclysm and leader of the Orc survivors, what are you doing here human?"


    "I take it that Jon Stones didn''t send you here".


    Clown raised his eyebrows, clearly surprised. "You''ve met with that old man?" Heughed as he rephrased his sentence. "So he came here to visit you, what did he tell you about the outside world?"


    This Orc Warlord calmly looked down at him. "What are you doing here?"


    Feeling the grip of the Orc, Clown already knew that this was a Grade C Orc that he had no confidence in defeating alone, he smiled.


    "I came to negotiate".


    ¡­


    Inside a wooden house, the home of the Orc Warlord and Chieftian.


    Clown grinned on seeing the surprised look on the Orc''s face.


    "You want to help us return home?"


    "Yes, Darvis is not meant for only humans, it''s also your home".


    This Orc Warlord''s eyes narrowed. "Why?"


    "It''s simple". Clown calmly looked at him. "I just want the natural chaos back, chaos is the nature of the universe and how it should be".


    For a minute, the Orc Chieftian looked at Clown''s eyes after he said this. In the end, he detected no lie, he sighed. "You''re more sincere than Jon Stones".


    "It''s to be expected". Clownughed.


    "Do you know how I survived?" The Orc Warlord suddenly asked.


    "I don''t even know what the cataclysm is".


    The Orc Warlord sighed. "ording to my Emperor during our reign, the cataclysm is an urrence every few hundred years in Darvis that wipes out all super life away from the".


    "We don''t know what causes it, and we can''t stop it either".


    "Thest cataclysm was worse; all the foundations of the main Empires were destroyed. I reckon I was the only super from my time that survived".


    "My Emperor used a special ability of his to create this unstable ne, barely saving me. He entrusted the survival of my race to me since the humans were sure to take advantage of our downfall to rise to power".


    "Since then, I''ve stayed here as I rebuilt my race".


    "Apart from me, the Emperor also saved 20 normal female Orcs here for me. I married them all and together, the Orc race survived".


    Clown grinned. "You''re a vigorous Orc".


    "So, what is your decision?"


    "I will be your ally".


    This Orc''s eyes gleamed. "I will help you restore the order of chaos".


    "Good choice". Clown started his iconic maniacalugh.


    After that, alongside Richard, they finally left this ne.


    ¡­


    20 minutester¡­


    "Ugh¡­" The warriors groaned as they slowly roused to life.


    As soon as they remembered what happened, they sprang up as they looked at Richard who was standing before them. "What happened?"


    They were shocked on seeing Richard injured and bleeding.


    "We were attacked by a Bald Eagle with space powers".


    "You 3 were knocked out with one attack".


    They all blushed as their faces instantly turned red.


    "I barely survived after managing to pursue it away¡­, cough¡­" Richard copsed on the ground, rming the others.


    They rushed him back to the army ground for treatment.

 Chapter 150 Raining Swords Plan

    The journey to the Northern Continent was a long one.


    Alone and with Kiddo, Legs could cut the time to less than half a day. With Ak, he could cut the time to a little more than a day but he could not enjoy any of these because he hadpanions in this journey.


    Since apart from him and Christensen, none of the other members in his faction had beasts to ride on, the journey was slow but eventful.


    At most, they would arrive in the Northern Continent in 3 days.


    Legs did not entirely oppose this idea as it gave him time to fully understand the new members that made it to his faction.


    Having built a reputation with Horny Assassin as an NPC who gave ridiculous missions already, Legs was free to go unrestrained again.


    -----


    You have created a Grade E Mission: Bath Predator and Leo


    Mission Reward: 10,000 Experience Points


    Mission eptance Requirement: 500 Experience Points


    ----


    This was shameless but Legs had no qualms doing it.


    He gained experience points even as he also gave them the experience points that he got for missions through his daily quota.


    -----


    yer Raining Sword has epted Grade E Mission


    ----


    The yer with the fastest hand got to ept the mission first. Since morning, the Sword God had been enjoying this as he got majority of the missions.


    It was already evening since they started their journey and Legs decided that they should rest in an inn that they met along the way, this was why he gave them a mission to clean up Leo and Predator who did most of the work.


    Though Predator was fearsome looking, Raining Sword already got used to and eased towards the beast.


    From the inn, Raining Sword got sponge and soap. Diligently, he went to work as he washed the 2 beasts thoroughly, leaving them sparkling in the end.


    This simple act from him was able to let him win the favor of the 2 beasts. It felt nice being clean and both beasts loved it as they licked his face.


    Satisfied after receiving his experience points, Raining Sword patted the 2 beasts fondly as he sat down alongside them before essing his virtual interface.


    After a day with Legs, he already got a little stockpile of experience points and without hesitation, he spent them all in the faction shop.


    [You have purchased 1 Basic Pugilist Knowledge: Basic Muscle Control.]


    [Basic Pugilist Knowledge Detected: Basic Muscle Control.]


    [Learning Basic Pugilist ss Knowledge¡­, knowledge learned!]


    [Congrattions! You have be a Grade F Pugilist!]


    [You have¡­]


    After a series of notifications that highlighted the changes in his body, Raining Sword clenched his fists as he felt the explosive energy now flowing through his veins.


    He was amazed. "This game is really realistic".


    Without hesitation, he left to the nearby forest with his sword as he called Ghost Sentry along. With equal strength now, he could now spar consistently with Ghost Sentry and show him more techniques with the sword.


    Ghost Sentry already became a Grade F Pugilist long ago during the beta testing. As they trained, 20 minutester, Raining Sword received a message.


    >Blue River: The 5 yers you requested are here<


    >Blue River: They have enough experience points to buy all the ss knowledge that are in the faction shop<


    >Raining Sword: Good, I''m on my way back<


    Without hesitation, they returned to the inn.


    On getting there, he met the 5 yers. On seeing him, these 5 yers turned jittery, they were literally looking at the god of the Blue Autumn team, it was only natural that they were so hyped and excited.


    Raining Sword had a poker look on his face as he addressed them.


    During the journey, he already thought of new ways to benefit from their rtionship with the special NPC. "You 5 will be helping the club".


    "I want all 5 of you to be members of Legs''s faction. After that, use your experience points to buy the knowledge that I request for".


    "You will not learn them yourself, you''ll transfer them to the other pro yers of the team. As you well know, we need to give ourselves a head start in preparations for the tournament that wille after this version''s end".


    "Can you do this for us?"


    "Yes!" They literally pledged and swore in the name of their ancestors.


    Raining Sword did not know if Legs would ept the new members but this was part of his experiment, he wanted to see if Legs would ept more members apart from them into his faction.


    If this was true, then he could monopolize this, not only giving the Blue Autumn team an advantage but the whole Blue Mist Guild also.


    A few minutester, he confirmed it.


    -----


    5 new yers have epted your faction invitation!


    ¡­


    Faction: Legs''s Faction


    Member capacity: 1000


    Current members: 18/1000


    ----


    Legs knew exactly what Raining Sword was doing and he subtly approved it. The more yers in his faction, the more experience points he got.


    With the caliber of enemies that he now had, he simply could not rely on Predator''s genius to get stronger again, he needed all hands-on deck now.


    He needed to level up faster and be a Grade C Summoner.


    Also, he wanted to set a benchmark for other yers. Since the start of version 1, the yers in Darvis already joined different factions.


    Most joined the strongest and most famous factions which were the 3 academies and the Hunter Union. He wanted to prove through the Blue Autumn Team and their guild that his faction was the best.


    This was why he gave them so many benefits.


    The only condition that he set was that the new members would not follow him on his travels. More members could join but the Blue Autumn Team was the only yers skilled enough to help him in battles going ahead.


    Through the other yers, all the other members of the Blue Autumn Team were able to use the basic ss knowledges to unlock main sses.


    [Basic Elementalist Knowledge Detected: Elemental Affinity.]


    [Learning Basic Elementalist ss Knowledge¡­, knowledge learned!]


    [You have unlocked Elemental Affinity!]


    [Choose between the 4 natural Elemental Affinities.]


    Without hesitation, Mad Dog easily made his choice.


    [Congrattions! You have be a Grade F Earth Elementalist!]


    [You have¡­]


    They all officially started training after getting main sses.


    Dominator was also a VR game but as a new game, they needed to familiarize themselves with all the main sses and their abilities in preparation for the tournament that wasing ahead.


    ¡­


    The next day, Legs led them as they continued their journey.


    On the 3rd day, they finally arrived at the Northern Continent.


    Legs led them straight to the headquarters of the Hunter Union.

 Chapter 151 Declaration Of War

    In the Great Desert¡­


    "Captain, there have been more reported unrest in the new territories that was vacated for willing small tribes".


    "There were also reports of Titan sightings".


    Seated on his chair as the now leading military figure of the Audun Tribe, Captain Aegon calmly went through the detailed reports in the pamphlets that were given to him as he raised his head to face the warriors the next moment.


    "The small tribes can deal with the unrest themselves".


    "But send the message of the Titan sightings to the other elites, I am mobilizing the new Vanguard Squad to go against them".


    "Titan sightings is not a report that should be overlooked".


    "Also, inform our warriors of the Vanguard Squad here that they should get prepared, we''ll be going to the field soon to fight Titans".


    "Yes, Captain Aegon". The soldiers saluted and left.


    Days ago, after the Honorary Warrior ceremony was organized, the next day, Captain Aegon was officially made the Commander of the Vanguard Squad.


    Not only that, after speaking with the other Tribe Chiefs of the major tribes, in a bid to save all desert tribesmen from the Titans, the major tribes cooperated to create a safe zone where willing small tribes could shelter from the Titans.


    Despite Legs''s help which enabled them to beat the Titans back, their threat was still there. Until the machine was destroyed, the threat would remain.


    Though Titan sightings were far lesser than before, they didn''t go entirely as they showed up once in a while but the new Vanguard Squad was ready for them.


    After their first feat of beating the Titans back, the Vanguard Squad already became a sacred religious squad where every warrior aspired to be one of.


    And since most of their warriors died during the expedition to the Ancient Titan City, they needed new members and hence the new Vanguard Squad.


    After recruiting, the new Vanguard Squad had 100 elite warriors.


    As soon as their Commander''s orders were passed to them, Altan, Arnold and the others went to work in preparations to go to the field.


    Inside his home, before leaving, Altan sat cross-legged in his room.


    "Your Excellency the Hermit, I havee with a sincere heart again".


    "Please ept my faith and fealty and ept me as one of your fervent followers who will spread the gospel of your will and miracles".


    For the 4th consecutive day, Altan prayed to the Hermit.


    This time was different though, he got a reply. After leaving him hanging for the past 3 days, Legs finally gave him a reply.


    Altan heard the deep and sacred voice reverberating in his head.


    "I have seen and acknowledged your faith and belief".


    "I ept you as my follower".


    "You will be my eye in the Desert".


    "Watch and report everything that happens until ordered otherwise".


    Legs did not just speak, he left him with a wee gift.


    As soon as Altan opened his eyes, they shone with enlightenment as his excitement knew no limits. His smile was wide and content.


    Apart from the ecstasy of his god answering him, he also got something new.


    In his head, he detected a new knowledge that was not there before.


    "Intermediate Pugilist Knowledge: Pugilist Energy Control".


    Altan''s eyes widened in shock. "T-this knowledge? This is what I''ve been working my whole life to get, the greatest intermediate Pugilist knowledge".


    Legs was now able to do this through the grey world.


    ? Despite his ecstasy, without hesitation, Altan started learning his first Intermediate Pugilist knowledge. This was the defining ss knowledge, it separated experts like Aegon and Knock from other Grade D Pugilists like him.


    With this knowledge, his strength would increase exponentially.


    Altan thanked the Hermit from the bottom of his heart.


    ¡­


    Core Protector Shanks and Levi returned to see a destroyed version of their home, from afar as the cart was pulled, they observed silently.


    The sturdy metal gate that led into the headquarters was nowhere to be seen, the warriors that manned the wall, acting as the watchers were nowhere to be found, the walls itself was a shadow of its previous self.


    Entering inside the headquarters, they saw a river of blood.


    Corpsesid about like this was a ughterhouse for pigs.


    The stench of blood was so strong that even they, veterans who already survived countless wars could not help their face from flinching.


    From the aftermath, their incredible battle experience already made them determine the level of the opponent. Without a doubt, to inflict so much damage to this heavily guarded area, Abaddon was a fearsome opponent.


    Shanks turned to face Levi. "Do you think he''s on Stones'' level?"


    "Not a chance". Core Protector Levi answered confidently.


    "If it was Stones'', those that survived in the bunker won''t even survive, that old f*cker''s strength can tear that shield apart".


    On seeing their 2 protectors, the warriors that were holed up in the bunker who were the only survivors finally came out of their hiding.


    The representatives of the main organizations could not speak as they stood before the 2 protectors with their heads lowered in shame.


    "It''s not your fault". Shanks consoled them. "It was a Grade C Pugilist after all so losing was a guarantee".


    "What will you do?" The dwarf Commander asked.


    Shanks looked at Levi then he replied. "The Core Protection Alliance officially deres war on the Clown Society, inform all our bases".


    "Yes sir". The survivors were motivated as they went to work.


    As soon as they left, Core Protector Levi chuckled. "You know King Tom, he''ll be infuriated by your decision".


    "F*ck the King!"


    "If I stay idle to this organization after they ughtered so many of my subordinates, I''ll be damned for life, getting back at them is a must".


    "I don''t care whether the King approves or not".


    "I''m going to war even if the heaven opposes it".


    Without saying another word, Shanks stormed inside but stopped just before he opened the door. "Also, contact that man in the Hunter Union, I heard they already took more action than us against the Clown Society".


    "Got it boss". Levi mimicked Shanks'' subordinate''s voice andughed.

 Chapter 152 Forging Allies

    The headquarters of the Hunter Union was called the Glory Dome, and it was located in the most famous shelter of the Northern Continent, the Dragon Shelter.


    The Dragon Shelter was famous not just because it housed the headquarters of the Hunter Union but also because of its long history.


    In the previous age, legends say that the territory currently upied by the Dragon Shelter was the home of the Ancient Dragons.


    It was not winter yet but snow and ice filled this Northern Shelter, it was the coldest continent in Darvis.


    The massive building of the Hunter Union was built in a Dome shape.


    At the head of the Dome was the skull of a massive Dragon, a ck Dragon of the previous era where Ancient Dragons ruled alongside the other Kingdoms.


    "Damn, is that Dragon skull real?" Horny Assassin was amazed as he gawked at the sheer size of the skull that adorned the building.


    "Yes and no". Legs answered him.


    "History records that the founder of the Hunter Union lived during the era of the Ancient Dragons, he was there when a ck Dragon died".


    "Legends say that he cut off the Dragon''s head after it died".


    "After over a century, what was left of the head was this thick skull so he kept it and used it to decorate the headquarters of the Hunter Union".


    "It serves as a show of strength to others and to highlight the motto of the Hunter Union, it primarily exists to hunt beasts".


    "The reason for no is because no one can verify if the founder of the Hunter Union lied about the encounter with the ck Dragon and simply forged the story".


    "Balerion was the greatest Pugilist in Darvis before Jon Stones". de interjected at this moment as he turned to look at his master. "He is an honorable man, he would never lie".


    "We''ll see about that". Legs held himself fromughing.


    Christensen and de kept quiet as they solemnly looked at this massive building. Despite their different backgrounds, one way or another, they already heard of the Hunter Union and its worldwide prowess.


    They didn''t have to wait long before who they were waiting for came.


    Captain Stoke arrived with 2 other warriors that were in his squad.


    As soon as theyid their eyes on Legs, their eyes lit up as they bowed slightly and payed their respects. "Wee to the Dragon Shelter".


    "Thank you". Legs smiled at them.


    After personally witnessing a bit of the terror that the Clown Society already wrath in the desert, Captain Stoke led his squad members home.


    After reporting to the Core Protection Alliance, they also came to the headquarters of the Hunter Union to give detailed reports to their leader.


    "The General agreed to meet with you".


    "That''s good to know". Legs smiled.


    With Captain Stoke now escorting them, entering inside the massive walls that surrounded the Dome was no longer impossible.


    Entering inside the Glory Dome was like they entered another world.


    A barrier surrounded the wall that prevented people outside from seeing what really went on inside, and once they passed through the wall, they were able to see the amazing scenes inside.


    Inside the walls was boisterous, just like a market.


    There were different booths at every few meters where bounty hunters collected bounty missions, and as beast hunters, most of them had beasts.


    Birds of prey roamed the sky whilend beasts roamed the ground, making it even more boisterous and noisy. Having been to this ce in his previous life as a yer, Legs had a look of nostalgia on his face.


    The yers were no different as they looked at their surroundings, amazed at the fantastical sight.


    "Dominator is dope man". Horny Assassin sighed.


    "They can''t follow you in, the General will meet you only".


    "Fine with me". Legs nodded and turned to hispanions. "de, Christensen, apany the others and go for some sightseeing".


    "Ok".


    With that, Legs was finally led into the massive Dome-shaped building. Mechanic may not be a main ss in Darvis, but the people here were intelligent, using stones and wood, they made makeshift elevators.


    Through one of these elevators, Legs and Captain Stones went to the 3rd floor of the Dome-shaped building. There, they entered inside a room.


    Seated inside this room was a middle-aged man whose hair instantly attracted Legs'' attention. The middle of his hair was bald while both sides had a lot of hair, this sight reminded Legs of Wolverine of the X Men.


    As this man turned to look at him, Legs also observed him.

    [Remark: A pinnacle Grade D superhuman warrior.]


    ----


    The man''s attributes told Legs that this was the strongest Grade D warrior that he had met since his reincarnation. Of course, attributes was one thing and actual battle was another but he had no intentions of underestimating him.


    "General". As soon as Captain Stokes greeted, he also greeted.


    This man looked at him. "You are Legs?"


    "Yes sir".


    He rubbed the bald spot in his head. "You met the Titans?"


    "Yes sir".


    "How many Titans did you kill?"


    "I didn''t count".


    His eyes narrowed. "You''re a Grade D Summoner?"


    "It''s obvious sir".


    "You think you can beat me?"


    Legs smiled. "I''m not here to fight my allies".


    The General smiled as he finally stood up from his chair. "Bold, I like it".


    "So, I heard you can help us beat the psychopaths, what makes you think so when you''re not even confident of beating me in battle?"


    "I know the Clown Society more than you do".


    "How much?"


    "More than anyone else on this".


    The General''s eyes narrowed even more. "You''re bolder than I thought".


    "What do you want in exchange for your help?"


    "Money, connection, ss knowledges of all 3 sses".


    "Gosh you''re bold". This General sighed. "I wish I still had men like you in the union, my everyday life would be much more interesting".


    "I can give you all that you want if you can really help us beat them, heck, even the Core Protection Alliance are now adamant to eradicate those psychopaths but¡­" He red at him. "I am not foolish".


    "I can''t verify that you''re not a low life scam".


    "I did my research, I know that you''re a mere 15-year-old boy".


    "A 15-year-old Grade D Summoner". Legs grinned. "I''m an anomaly, I believe you already deduced their threat, its either you ce your hopes on this 15-year-old kid which will do you no harm or face off against the Clown blind".


    "Remember, I am a 15-year-old who killed 2 Elementalists who despite still injured almost singlehandedly wiped off your hunter squad".


    "Do you still think I''m a mere 15-year-old?"


    General Toothpick looked at him than heughed. "Good, I like you more".


    "Prove to me that you really know your stuff".


    "That''s what I intend to do, bring me a map".


    The General turned to look at his Captain who watched silently since. When he finally brought the map of the, Legs flipped to the Dragon Shelter.


    The General''s eyes narrowed. "Do you mean they also have bases here?"


    "Yeah". Legs smirked.


    He pointed to 3 locations on the map. "This, this and this, these are secret bases of the Clown Society that would activate at the right time".


    "It''s either you destroy them now or leave them to screw you from behind when the Clown finally deem that it''s the right time".


    General Toothpick was silent as he stared at this kid for 2 straight minutes.

 Chapter 153 The 1st Step To Any Conquest; Rooting Out The Spies

    "Did you hear the news? There''s actually a base of the Clown Society here in the Dragon Shelter, how bold of these mother*ckers".


    A hunter proudly donning the iconic brown uniform of the Hunter Union chatted with his buddies.


    "I heard it also, but I think its just rumors". One of the other hunters replied.


    "It''s not rumors, it''s the main topic all over the headquarters, do you really think the higherups will let an information this sensitive disseminate so quickly if it''s not the truth?"


    The other hunters kept quiet as they seemed deep in thought.


    One of them finally spoke again. "You''re right, but think of it from this way, do you also think the higherups will let an information this sensitive disseminate so easily in the first ce?"


    "¡­"


    In the end, they were all left speechless by all the conspiracy theories.


    Like usual, today was a boisterous day inside the walls of the Hunter Union but unlike before, only one topic dominated the mouths of the Hunters.


    Legs''s explosive reveal that there were 2 Clown Society base in the Dragon Shelter sent the whole Hunter Union into a frenzy.


    All of them wanted to attack those crazy psychopaths now but they could not because the rumors didn''t indicate where the enemy base was.


    As all the hunters discussed fervently among themselves, some certain hunters cut themselves off from the discussions due to various reasons.


    Among these certain hunters was one, James the Wolf Hunter.


    He was given the nickname of Wolf Hunter due to his incredible skills when tracking and hunting wolves. He was well-known as a talkative but today, for some strange reason, he made excuses and didn''t join in the conversations.


    He acted strange even as they went for their hunting mission for that day, and in the evening, he made an excuse to leave that he was not fine.


    Unknown to him, as he left, some pairs of eyes watched him.


    ¡­


    Knock! Knock!


    "Come in".


    Legs answered casually as he treat himself to the incredibly delicious delicacy that the beautiful chef of the Hunter Union made for him.


    Christensen and de were seated across as they also ate, the other members of his faction were out there doing different missions to get experience points. At this stage, they were not qualified to enter inside here.


    They entered only because they were rted to him, thereby having ess to all the high-paying missions that came with it.


    "Master Legs". This warrior bowed and greeted respectfully. "A warrior just left the headquarters, he was acting sneaky at first which attracted my attention, now he is going towards the location that you indicated".


    "Are you sure?" Legs swallowed thest chicken leg.


    "Yes".


    "Good job". He stood up and patted the warrior''s back.


    "Christensen, de,e along let''s go catch some spies red-handed".


    "Yes, master".


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Legs called only Predator this time while Christensen called Leo. While Legs rode alone, his 2 students rode on top Leo.


    Before leaving, Legs turned to face his students onest time. "Another lesson for the both of you, always remember this, the 1st step to any conquest is rooting out the spies".


    In this cold North, Leo was in his element, this Frost Wolf had never been sofortable and at home since bing his master''s contracted beast.


    His powers were at an all-time high.


    Together alongside Captain Stokes who met them outside, they trailed after the hunter who was now sprinting fast across the streets of the shelter.


    It took him 10 minutes but he finally arrived before the massivepound, this was thepound that Legs indicated was a base of the psychopaths.


    On arriving, he looked left and right and confirming that no one was looking at him, he casually walked to the booth that was at the corner of the gate before dropping a piece of paper on top it.


    He walked closer to the iron gate and was about to knock before leaving but a hand stronger than his grabbed him before he could.


    He felt sweat running down his cheeks as the sensation of the cold edge of a de touched his neck, Legs breath softly against his neck.


    "If you want to keep your head, no shouts, no sudden movements".


    "This is an Enchanted dagger, it''s sharper than your love life so stay still and obediently follow me".


    "Who are you¡­?"


    He barely asked before Legs put his fingers into his mouth, pulling out the poison that was hidden in his teeth as he shook his head and tsked.


    "No painless death for you today, stay obedient and follow me".


    If he was fearless before, Legs''s familiarity with his hidden methods finally made him feel horrified as he stammered. "W-who are you?"


    "Just a Sexy Chocte rooting out weed from the midst of nts".


    Legs finally dragged him away, while he did this, de already went as silently as he could to the booth as he smoothly retrieved the paper.


    They returned to the Glory Dome.


    That same evening, 5 other spies were caught doing the same thing.


    ¡­


    Chilling in his room with a bottle of wine, Legs read the paper''s contents. He put emphasis on the 2 that attracted his attention the most.


    >Red Master Freezing Winter, there are rumors in the Glory Dome that the location of our base here has been exposed. I''m not too sure since the rumors says we have only 2 bases, but I thought it wise to inform you<


    >Sender: Donald<


    "Freezing Winter". Legs''s eyes narrowed in recognition on seeing the name, it was still like his previous life.


    He read the contents of the second paper.


    >Red Master Raging Tempest, there are rumors in the Hunter Union about the location of our bases being exposed. I don''t know much but the mere insinuation of that is enough for us to be more cautious<


    >I advise that we change the location of our bases<


    >Also, I saw the renowned Sexy Chocte. I could not recognize him at first since he looked different from his pictures on the bounty, but I recognized his beast and his student, he''s the one<


    >Sender: Executioner Baddest<


    A lot of things amazed Legs in thisst letter.


    One, like he expected, Raging Tempest was still the leader of thest and biggest base in Dragon Shelter. He remembered this warrior from his previous life as a legend of the Clown Society.


    Two, this warrior managed to recognize him despite all his precautions. And from his title as an Executioner, this was someone to give attention to.


    "Nice, Baddest, what an inviting name".

 Chapter 154 Interrogation

    The 6 captured spies were kept in 6 different cages in one prison.


    At this moment, they were already being interrogated. Sweat filled Captain Stokes'' shirtless body as he fiercely interrogated the spies one at a time.


    "I still can''t believe you guys were actually spies".


    "Damn, and I believed I could trust every hunter with my life". The reality that some hunters were spies still felt unbelievable to him.


    Smack!


    He wacked the warrior on the face, leaving a red imprint on his face.


    "Tell me all that you know about the Clown Society!"


    "What is your n? Where will you attack next?"


    "Are there more spies like you?"


    "Tell me now!"


    Bam!


    He kicked him on the face with his knee as this prisoner fell down while coughing blood. Slowly, he stood up then he looked at the Captain.


    "Ugh¡­" He groaned slightly in pain as he stood up straight.


    "You''re awful at interrogating".


    Bam!


    Captain Stokes kicked him again this time in the abdomen as he coughed blood, this psychopath onlyughed. "You''re wasting your time".


    "You dare?! Ahh¡­.!"


    "Stop".


    Hearing Legs''s voice made his leg screech to a momentary pause mid-motion, then as soon as he turned to look at Legs, the leg still kicked on its own.


    The prisoner coughed blood again.


    Legs shook his head with a helpless smile. "Why are you guys always so bad at interrogating and even worse at torture?"


    Captain Stokes blinked his eyes innocently.


    Legs ignored him. "Give me some space, watch and learn".


    Thud! Thud!


    The sounds of footsteps reverberated as de and Christensen showed up.


    Having seen his master interrogate a psychopath before, Christensen knew what he was up to and was why he called de to follow to let his little brother witness the sight of Legs interrogating a criminal.


    After a lot of argument and shes, as the newest student, de finally relented and agreed to start calling Christensen big brother.


    Legs ignored his students as he picked a chair opposite the warrior and sat beside him, Predator stood beside him as the Nightmare Beast breath loudly.


    Legs waved at the psychopath with a smile. "Hey".


    "You know me, right? I know you do, I saw it in your paper".


    "So, Executioner Baddest, can you tell me all that I need to know or do you want me to resort to the forceful approach?"


    This psychopath looked at this warrior then he chuckled. "With yourpetence, you would have made a good child of chaos".


    "Unfortunately, your arrogance will lead to your death".


    "Maybe". Legs shrugged. "But you didn''t answer my question".


    "F*ck you, nothing you do will change anything".


    "So be it". Legs finally stood up. "A friendly warning, I am a master of tortures, I will tell you what I intend to do before doing it so you can contemte if you want to endure the pain or just tell me the truth".


    "¡­" The Executioner kept his silence.


    With a slight sound, Legs unzipped the criminal''s pants to the shock of everyone present. "By the way, are you a virgin cause this could get damaged in my procedures, I wouldn''t want it to turn to waste when you haven''t used it yet".


    "¡­"


    Everyone in this prison room felt the atmosphere turning chiller.


    Legs brought the Enchanted Dagger, the mes of ndel from his storage ring as he activated the Fiery Edge enchanted ability after leaving the little brother of this executioner dangling like a pendulum bulb.


    The edge of the de lit up with fire.


    "I will be applying this hot token of gratitude to your little brother, I believe he''s more rational than you and can convince you to speak more than I can".


    "I am a veteran at this, I know how to make it effective for a longer period".


    "For the first few seconds, you''ll just feel the pain".


    "After 10 seconds, you''ll feel both the pain, the heat, and an agonizing pepperish feeling. It''ll be like pepper was added to it and was put into a boiling fry pan with hot oil while you''re still alive feeling every bit of pain through it all".


    "After a minute, you''ll lose the ability to please your wife and give birth".


    Gulp!


    This warrior gulped as veins popped all over his face but after taking a few deep breaths, he closed his eyes and on opening them red at Legs.


    "Do your worst". He said coldly in a deep voice.


    With a neutral look on his face, Legs brought the hot dagger close to the Executioner''s standing rod of truth. Once the heat touched it, this warrior hissed through the pain as all his veins stood up but he didn''t speak.


    Legs removed it after 2 seconds and kept his dagger.


    "Impressive, I love your devotion to your cause but¡­" He looked him in the eye. "Do you want your only family in this world to experience the same thing?"


    This man''s eyes widened as he turned agitated. "What do you mean?"


    Legs smiled and sat back down. "I always thought your face was familiar but now I know, you''re Raging Tempest''s right-hand man right?"


    "They call you the brain of the Tempest, what are you doing here as a spy?"


    The Executioner red at Legs without saying a word.


    "I also know about your 6-year-old daughter".


    "Of course, she doesn''t have a little brother for me to burn but I have more than 10 sickening ways of torturing a girl, I can exin some to you now".


    "Predator here is a Nightmare Beast, his tongue is deadly".


    "I can make him slowly lick your baby girl all over as his tongue slowly tears her skin apart, she will be screaming while you watch".


    "She will be screaming while she watches her dad do nothing because he is so adamant in restoring a vain order of chaos".


    "She will be so disappointed in you".


    "She will remember her mom''s death and how helpless you were¡­"


    "Stop!"


    "She will¡­"


    "STOP!"


    "Why?"


    "Stop! Please stop, I will speak". Genuine tears were already pouring down his eyes as he looked at the floor in shame.


    "Raging Tempest wille in 3 days, he went out on a leadership summit that was ordered by our leader, the Almighty Clown".


    "I will tell you everything about his base, the defensive setup, everything that you need to conquer them¡­" He sobbed as tears flowed down his eyes. "Just please promise not to kill my daughter".


    "You can kill me but spare my baby please".


    "I will". Legs stood up and gave him a handkerchief to clean his face.


    "Eat, stay sharp, you''ll be assisting me in a few hours'' time".


    The Executioner sniffed and wiped his tears.

 Chapter 155 Baddests Sabotage

    3 dayster¡­


    "Ugh¡­!" Baddest groaned in pain as the little brother in between his legs was attended to, he gritted his teeth through all the pain.


    With a serious look on his face, Legs touched the cotton wool with some alcohol as he gently applied it to the burn injuries on the fleshy rod''s surface.


    By the time that he was done, Baddest was left sweating and panting.


    After he finally calmed down, he asked. "Will it still¡­, you know, do the thing?" He coughed to hide how awkward he felt at his question.


    "Oh, you mean if you can still shag a fine babe?" Legs grinned. "Don''t worry, I know you''re not familiar with it but alcohol is godly".


    "You''ll be as vigorous as a horse in no time".


    Baddest forced a smile. "Does that mean I can still give birth?"


    "Yeah, of course".


    Baddest visibly heaved a sigh of relief as he rxed on the bed.


    After 3 days of treatment, Baddest was relieved that Legs did not go all out in his torture. Every time that he thought back to it, he felt like a fool, he should have known that the Sexy Chocte was someone he could not f*ck with.


    Now, his rod was more or less back to normal though the burn injuries were still more or less in the healing process. The alcohol worked like magic.


    After dropping his treatment tools, Legs turned to face him.


    "It''s time, are you ready?"


    Baddest looked back at him. "You remember your promise?"


    "Yeah".


    "I''m ready". He took a deep breath. "If anything happens to me in this mission, please take my daughter in and protect her".


    "¡­" Legs silently looked at him for a few seconds.


    Throughout, Baddest did not take his sight away.


    "I will". Legs finally answered.


    Without another word, Baddest put on his clothes, patted Legs on the back before standing and leaving the headquarters of the Hunter Union.


    ¡­


    Rustle! Rustle!


    The gentle breeze softly floated through the white tree leaves of the Frost Forest, stimting them to dance wavily to the beats of the breeze.


    The Frost Forest was a massive forest that spanned arge territory of the Northern Continent, and a lot of merchants took it as a transport route.


    Despite its many dangers, with enough bodyguards, most well-managed merchant groups could transport their goods through here and make a lot of profit.


    Today like any other day, another merchant group was traveling through it.


    This was a merchant group with 6 enormous transport carts. Each of these transport carts was pulled by a massive Marathon Donkey.


    These mutated Donkeys were massive and were known for their crazy endurance. They could travel long distances through any type of terrain and weather without dying or falling ill, they were merchant''s favorites.


    Surrounding and escorting the merchant group were some warriors cloth in ck, these were the mercenaries that the merchant hired to protect his goods.


    These merchants seemed like normal merchants but inside the 2nd transport cart, alongside other merchants, there was a strange human, a burly-looking man with white hair, white beards, and was also wearing white clothes.


    He seemed like a thug but on his hand was an Elementalist staff.


    "Lord Freezing Winter, we are now close to the Dragon Shelter".


    On hearing the merchant''s voice, this burly-looking man who had his eyes closed, resting previously opened them. "Good, wake me up when we get there".


    "Yes, my Lord".


    Honk!


    The sound of a horn reverberated the next moment causing this burly-looking Elementalist to frown, this was the sign of the merchant group stopping.


    "Beasts?" He asked in an irritated tone.


    "I''ll go find out my Lord". All 3 merchants ran outside the 2nd transport cart.


    Oning out, they saw a single human standing at their front, a familiar face. "Baddest?"


    "Good". Baddestmented coldly as soon as he saw them.


    Without saying a word, he walked through all the guards before arriving before the 3 merchants. "Where is Lord Raging Tempest?"


    "Who is that?" Freezing Winter stepped out of the cart.


    On seeing this warrior, Baddest felt a chill running down his spine but he kept his nerves as he calmly looked up at him. "I''m here to escort my Lord".


    Freezing Winter''s irritated expression turned into disinterest on seeing who it was, he turned to go back inside the cart. "Your f*cker Lord is not here".


    "We had a slight argument on the road so we separated".


    "But he said he would follow¡­"


    "Silence".


    Freezing Winter''s voice seemed to stop time for a few seconds.


    "¡­" Baddest was also speechless.


    Freezing Winter continued. "Say no more, get out of here".


    "But¡­"


    "GET OUT OF HERE!"


    The outburst became Baddest''s cue to leave. From his experience, Freezing Winter never yelled, he only yells when irritated after losing to Raging Tempest in any type ofpetition that they both y in.


    As Baddest left, he slightly nodded his head.


    Legs saw the signal from his invisible state induced by Brutus.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration


    ----


    The rainbow bridge appearing was the signal that the others needed.


    At the same instant that Predator excitedly jumped out of the beast ne through the rainbow bridge, Christensen also called upon Leo for battle.


    As for de, he was already charging into the battlefield.


    "Attack!"


    Captain Stokes yelled as he led the 20 warriors that followed him into battle. With Legs taking the front, it did not take more than a second after Baddest gave the signal when he tore his way inside the 2nd transport cart.


    While all this happened, Baddest sought shelter.


    He was Raging Tempest''s right-hand man, not because of his strength, but because of his cleverness and wit.


    Boom!


    A battle broke out instantly.


    The protectors of the merchant group were ambushed and caught off-guard.

    ----


    Bam!


    Still in his integrated state with Predator, Legs grabbed Freezing Winter by the throat as he raised this powerful Grade D psychopath up.


    Freezing Winter was a powerful Red Master of the Clown Society.


    Having mastered the water element already, including its ice transformation, he was a lethal enemy to face in battle but Baddest''s sabotage screw him up.


    He never expected Baddest to lead an enemy ambush to kill him.


    "Kill me!" He growled as he red at Legs.


    Despite being close to death already and being extremely weak, he still had the pride of a veteran warrior of the Clown Society.


    Legs smiled at him. "You''re more valuable to us alive than dead".


    "Hahaha¡­" Freezing Winter suddenly startedughing.


    As heughed, his white hair and beards vibrated, inducing a spooky feeling but Legs was unfazed as he kept his gaze on him with a calm smile on his face.


    -----


    You have been affected by an Ice Illusion Elementalist Ability


    Calcting Intelligence resistance¡­, please wait¡­


    Your Intelligence stat is more than your opponent''s


    Illusion has no effect on you


    ----


    Seeing Legs''s smile, Freezing Winter shuddered. "It didn''t work?"


    "That is a trump card of mine that has worked against everyone of my opponents, how did you survive it?"


    He stuttered. "W-who are you?"


    Legs''s smile widened. "Remember the name, Sexy Chocte".


    At his ropes end now, Freezing Winter startedughing like a maniac again. Since he was converted by the preachings of the Clown, he devoted his life and soul to the cause of restoring the superior and natural order of chaos.


    In his opinion, if he died, it would be fighting bravely for the order of chaos.


    His worst nightmare was getting captured by the enemies.


    When captured, the enemies could do a lot of things to him like torturing, threatening, a lot of things that could possibly break him. The thought of betraying the order of chaos was so bad for him that he preferred dying.


    "Kill me!" He roared.


    Thud!


    Legs chuckled and threw him to the ground.


    "Captain Stokes, cuff him with those special chaotic mana handcuffs".


    "Yes, sir". Captain Stokes saluted and went to do the deed.


    "Hahaha¡­" Freezing Winter continuedughing as he was cuffed.


    "You don''t know what you''re going up against?"


    "The order of chaos is not a terrorist group, it''s a family, it cannot be defeated".


    "I and Raging Tempest are rivals but I trust him in one thing, his strength".


    "Your petty ambush won''t work on him".


    "Raging Tempest will take revenge on my behalf".


    "Also, Baddest, watch your back, no body betrays Raging Tempest and survives, both you and your daughter".


    Baddest shuddered.


    After onest effort from the Captain, Raging Tempest was finally gaggled.


    With the Red Master of one of the Clown bases taken care of, the next step was simple. The only ones that were spared were the cowardly merchants.


    Now, under Legs''s orders, they resumed their trade journey.


    The only difference was that this time, Legs was their master.


    Inside the 2nd cart, Legs turned to face Baddest. "Can you do it?"


    "Yes". He nodded confidently.


    "Raging Tempest may not have relied on me much when it came to strength, but apart from my brain, he also respected my abilities".


    "When ites to impersonating others, I am the best".


    As he spoke, Baddest already went to work as after a heavy primitive makeup session, he looked no different from the original Red Master, Freezing Winter.


    He turned to look at one of the merchants as his voice instantly turned deep and sadistic. "How much longer till we get to my base?"


    The merchant was stunned as he fell down from his chair in the cart, he hurriedly knelt as he stammered. "W-we''re already in Dragon Shelter my Lord".


    "Good". Baddest replied nonchntly.


    "¡­" Legs speechlessly stared at him as heplemented in his mind. ''Damn, he''s good''.


    Their entrance into the shelter was unchallenged, the Clown Society already infiltrated deep into the Dragon Shelter. Their men at the checkpoint made everything smooth sailing, the merchant group smoothly made their way in.


    As they left, Captain Stokes already took note of all the enemies.


    15 minutester, they finally arrived at Freezing Winter''s base.


    From afar, as soon as they saw the Marathon Donkeys, the gates of this little mansion were opened wide as all the Marathon Donkeys smoothly entered.


    After stopping, Baddest came out impersonating Freezing Winter as all the warriors bowed to pay their respects to their leader. His 2nd inmand was already walking towards him with a smile on his face.


    Baddest patiently waited until the gate was locked.


    As soon as they locked the gate, Legs gave the order. "Attack!"


    From inside the massive carts, the warriors of the Hunter Union erupted.


    To avoid alerting the remaining 2 terrorist bases about what happened here, Legs intended to do it behind closed doors.


    And with Brutus using his special ability to create a barrier that prevented the outside from seeing what went on inside, they were able to go unrestrained as they battered their unsuspecting opponents.


    Legs didn''t even have to make a move.


    With Christensen, de, and Captain Stokes taking the lead, the psychopaths were f*cked right where it hurt the most.


    Having lost a lot of hunters to the psychopaths of the Clown Society already, the hunters were out for blood as they fought with much more enthusiasm and energy than normal, theypletely ripped their opponents apart.


    The battle ended after 20 minutes.


    Not all the psychopaths were killed, some of them who were weak-willed than the others surrendered as they saw theirpanions being ughtered.


    Legs did not waste much time in the base, General Toothpick would take care of sending hunters here to search for any useful information about the Clown Society that might help them in theing war.


    As for him, he could not stay idle. Considering where they met Freezing Winter''s entourage, there was arge chance that Raging Tempest already got to his base, they needed to act fast and hit him before he suspected anything.


    Legs using the merchant group as a decoy again left the terrorist base. Mid-way, they ditched the merchants after knocking them unconscious as they returned to the headquarters of the Hunter Union.


    There, they dropped the captured psychopaths to the General.


    General Toothpick was too proud to say it but he was impressed.


    -----


    You have destroyed a major base of the Clown Society


    Your Favorability with the Hunter Union has increased by +20


    ¡­


    Your Favorability with General Toothpick has increased by +50


    ----


    Without hesitation, Legs led the hunters away.


    This time, he was not going to the 2nd and weakest base of the Clown Society, he left them forst, his destination was Raging Tempest''s base.


    His gut instinct told him to take care of this trouble as fast as possible.


    As they left, from inside the Glory Dome, a pair of eyes looked at them as thousands of thoughts flowed through this intelligent warriors'' mind.


    ''They even got Baddest''.


    ''Sexy Chocte is really a dangerous enemy''.

    Legs and Captain Stokes did not leave the headquarters in a high-profile manner. Due to the fear of more spies potentially being left in the headquarters of the Hunter Union, they kept their movements as elusive as possible.


    With General Toothpick''s help, none of the thousands of hunters that roamed the massive headquarters of the Hunter Union detected their movements.


    Legs left with his student and the yers.


    As for Captain Stokes, he and his hunters left in batches.


    As the strongest base of the Clown Society that was in the Dragon Shelter, Legs dared not underestimate Raging Tempest''sir.


    To increase their chances of sess, he pulled all trump cards avable to him. While the hunters left in batches, secretly, a group of other hunters disguised as merchants also left with transport carts carrying weapons.


    To reduce the chances of attracting more suspicion, Legs ordered 3 of the hunters in Captain Stokes'' original squad to remain behind in the headquarters.


    10 minutester, they all regrouped outside the headquarters in a military base where the transport carts were already pulled to.


    Without hesitation, the hunters started choosing weapons and gadgets of their choice from the ones that were brought here by the transport carts.


    Everything was organized under Legs''s leadership.


    Under Raining Sword''s leadership, the yers also picked theirs.


    This mission was their highest-paying mission yet.


    [You have received a Grade D Mission: Raiding Raging Tempest''sir!]


    [Mission Details: Under Legs''s leadership, the hunters of the Hunter Union are about to raid a major base of the Clown Society. Join them and deal as much damage as possible to the Clown Society.]


    [Mission Rewards: 100,000 Experience Points, +50 Favorability with Legs, and +50 Favorability with the Hunter Union.]


    [You have received a Grade D Mission: Help in killing the Raging Tempest!]


    [Mission Details: Support the attack on the tyrant psychopath of the Clown Society, dealing attack that takes at least 5% of his health.]


    [Mission Rewards: 50,000- 300,000 Experience Points depending on the amount of damage that was dealt to the enemy.]


    As soon as they saw the incredible rewards of the mission, none of them hesitated as they instantly epted it.


    Raining Sword had never felt so hyped for a game mission in a long time.


    Perhaps, apart from Ghost Sentry and the others who came during the Beta testing and already met Legs before now, they were the first yers to receive a mission paying 100,000 Experience points.


    As soon as all the hunters were equipped, Legs addressed them.


    "I don''t know you much, but today, we''re fighting for the same cause".


    "We both intend to eliminate the psychopaths of the Clown Society".


    "Their terrorism may not have affected you personally yet but their impunity and ruthlessness have affected hundreds of thousands of humans, as honorable hunters of the Hunter Union, it is your duty to avenge them".


    "I saw them unleash Titans to ughter desertmen, not only the desertmen, hunters that base in the Desert have also been exposed to this onught".


    Legs red at them. "Will you let them keep on ughtering your brothers?"


    "No!" They roared loudly.


    "They may be crazy, but we are crazier due to our motivation".


    "They may be strong, but we are stronger".


    "Remember, united we stand, divided we fall".


    "Let''s storm that enemy base and bring all the terrorists to face justice".


    "Who is with me?!" Legs roared.


    The hunters were hyped as they roared with him.


    The next moment, without hesitation, they left their hideout as they started their march straight to Raging Tempest''sir.


    ¡­


    A few minutes earlier¡­


    As soon as Legs left the headquarters of the Hunter Union, the 3 warriors in Captain Stokes'' squad that were left behind gathered together in a bar to drink and emphasize the lie that everything was ok to the other hunters.


    Unknown to them, the drinks were drugged.


    After 3 minutes of consumption, 2 of them felt drowsy and they fell asleep immediately. Despite their resistance as superhumans, the person who drugged them knew them so much that it was just the right quantity to overpower them.


    Thest one left standing was a female, the short female with blonde hair that was tied into a bun who always loved causing troubles in the squad.


    Calmly, she patted the 2 hunters to confirm that they were asleep.


    The next moment, she stood up with a smile. "Hey bar man". She waved at the friendly receptionist who smiled at her. "My friends seemed to have dozed off, is there any room for them to sleep?"


    A few minutester, the 2 hunters were ced in a secure room as they slept soundly. Instantly after this, she looked at them onest time and without wasting any time, the short female walked outside the bar straight towards the gate.


    Recognizing her, none of the hunters at the gate stopped her.


    Despite knowing her, under Legs''s orders, 2 warriors tailed her but after just 2 minutes, they lost her as like a ghost, she disappeared.


    3 minutester, she arrived before a massive ck gate.


    Knock! Knock!


    She barely knocked before the gate was opened to her. Confidently, she stepped into the mansion that served as Raging Tempest''sir.


    On entering inside, she saw Raging Tempest outside. Apparently, they just arrived and this lean man was in the process of organizing his psychopaths.


    Raging Tempest, the notorious Red Master was a lean man with ck hair. He was shirtless, exposing his well-crafted abs and lean muscles. Arge part of his shirtless upper body was decorated with a tattoo of a massive ck Dragon.


    The pair of jean trousers were the only coverings in his body.


    Raging Tempest was surprised as he turned to look at this shortdy.


    "Ghost¡­, you came?"


    She nodded coldly. "Freezing Winter has been captured".


    This lean man''s eyes narrowed as he looked at her. "What happened?"


    "The Sexy Chocte is in the Northern Continent".


    His eyes creased as an interesting look came over his face.


    "Don''t underestimate him, I also underestimated him once but after seeing what he did in 3 days, I don''t dare underestimate him anymore".


    "That''s big wordsing from you". Freezing Winter frowned. "You are a spy sent personally by the Almighty, do you have a n?"


    "Yes, Clown''sst-gasp n".


    "¡­" Raging Tempest was astonished. "That? He''s that dangerous?"


    "Yes, send a letter to him".


    Seeing the serious look on her face, Raging Tempest no longer dared tarry as he rushed inside his base. On sitting in his room, he picked a paper and started rapidly scribbling away.


    When he was done, he went to the window where a raven perched. He ced the folded paper on the raven''s talons before whispering words in Ancient Darvis to it. The Raven took off the next moment.


    Outside, Ghost was already organizing the Clown base.


    10 minutester, Legs and his entourage finally appeared.


    They did not hesitate, they attacked from the onset in a bid to startle their opponents and buy the first advantage for themselves.

    Predator roared loudly as he tore the massive ck gate apart with his extremely sharp and long ws, inducing a loud sound of collision.


    His momentum was not stopped the slightest as he kept on charging forward. Legs now used this momentum to his advantage, activating the Giant''s Might weapon ability of his sword, Giantsbane.


    Whoosh!


    The sword swept across like a broom with a smooth swooshing sound.


    Following in its wake was blood blossoming and 3 heads flying.

    ----


    "Kill the psychopaths!" The hunters roared as they stormed into the mansion.


    Legs''s initial charge and kills left their bloods boiling hot.


    The Pugilists among the hunters led the charge into the mansion, with their powerful physical attributes and abilities, they were like unstoppable trucks as they bulldozed through the blockades formed by their enemies.


    They barely noticed it but a few of them noticed it.


    Their enemies were supposed to be caught off-guard by their sudden attack, then how did they get the time to erect blockades against a raid attack?


    Those that noticed the anomaly didn''t have the time to think deep about it.


    This was battle where everything was fast-paced, there was barely time to think as the charging Pugilists finally collided with the Pugilists of the enemies.


    The sh was like that of rumbling thunder.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Pugilists from both sides shed as bloodshed started.


    From behind, the Elementalists were already released as they unleashed their AOE disaster on their enemies. Their massive attacks when stacked erased stacks of space from the battlefield, leaving blood and mutted flesh behind.


    As for the summoners, most of them already released their summoned beasts into the fray while the few brave ones rode on their beasts.


    They charged into the battlefield and bravely shed with their enemies.


    This battle was not just between Elementalists, Pugilists, and Summoners.


    As a battle where Grade F superhumans where the majority force, low-tier mass-produced weapons like pistols had a lot more usefulness.


    There were a lot of superhumans who could not get ess to any of the main sses, and with no choice, they could only settle for the subsses.


    The superhumans with Agent and Hawk Eye subsses now dominated.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    With every pull of the trigger, bullets were unleashed and superhumans were either injured or killed. They yed a huge part in this battlefield.


    The only problem now was on the hunter''s part.


    When they nned, they intended to storm the enemy base, catching them off their guard and ending the battle swiftly but things were not going ording to n. For some reason, the enemies were prepared for their arrival.


    Their resistance was fierce and dogged as they fought valiantly.


    On top Predator, Legs continued ughtering psychopaths with a calm look on his face as he watched the battle spiraling out of his control.


    He didn''t seem fazed by the unexpected circumstances.


    What he instead thought of was seeking Raging Tempest. He didn''t have to continue searching though, with his warriors already embroiled in battle, Raging Tempest finally came out to lead the line for his side.


    Whoosh!


    "Wind Elemental Ability: Speed King!"


    "Wind Elemental Ability: Sharp Edge!"


    Raging Tempest made his debut on this battlefield with a bang.


    As soon as he rushed out from inside the base, his body was covered with a green wind aura that augmented his speed by 10 times instantly.


    With such ridiculous speed, he arrived beside Predator in an instant.


    The next moment, the green wind aura moved towards his light sword, augmenting the enchanted sword and increasing its sharpness ridiculously.


    "Die!" Raging Tempest roared as he shed at the Nightmare Beast.


    For the first time in a long time, Predator felt his instincts of death, his danger instincts rang rm bells in his head as this Nightmare Beast reacted instinctively.


    In the nick of time, Predator activated his Scale Defense ability.


    ng!


    The sound of collision between the sword and the scale reverberated like thunder as a dent was left in Predator''s extremely thick scales.


    "Roar!"


    Predator lunged forward for a lethal bite but Raging Tempest was faster.


    Like a phantom, he moved so fast that Predator could only get his afterimage. Legs shed with his sword from on top his beast but this Elementalist was still faster as he ducked, smoothly dodging the attack.


    Mid-motion, he activated another powerful ability, this time his specialty.


    "Raging Tempest Specialty: Destruction Vortex!"


    By ducking, he made it in a way where he now had ess to the Nightmare Beast''s exposed belly. After activating this ability, he ruthlessly shed his sword upwards at Predator''s exposed belly.


    Predator felt the danger instinct as he activated his Scale Defense again.


    This time on collision, the sound of impact was not loud but the internal impact was deadly. Predator jerked the next moment as he copsed on his knees while coughing blood, Legs reacted almost instantly.

    [Overall Control Level: 63%]


    ----


    Legs integrated with Predator just as the Nightmare Beast was injured, and this way, he was able to experience all the pain that his beast experienced.


    "Ugh¡­" Legs groaned loudly in pain.


    His virtual interface lit up the next moment.


    -----


    You have been attacked by a deadly Wind Vortex ability!


    You will keep on suffering internal injuries for 30 seconds!


    ----


    This specialty attack from Raging Tempest was extremely deadly, the vortex kept on wreaking havoc inside him as Legs growled loudly. It did not end there though as Raging Tempest now jumped in for the kill.


    Legs gritted his teeth through all the pain.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    When he needed Ak the most, Ak failed him.


    For some reason, Ak and his wolf pack were so upied with something else that they were unable to fulfill his wishes ofing to aid him in battle.


    Legs was alone and there was no time to do anythingplicated.


    With no choice, Legs activated the Scale Defense and braced himself.


    ng!


    With Berserker''s ws and thick scales, he caught Raging Tempest''s swift sword, preventing it in the nick of time to avoid being cut in 2.


    This powerful Red Master did not end there though.


    "Raging Tempest''s Specialty: Raging Tempest!"


    Whoosh!


    Instantly, a violent storm picked up in the center of this battlefield, catching Legs off-guard and swallowing him uppletely.


    Legs closed his eyes and blocked his face as his virtual interface kept on sending him damage notifications. After 10 seconds, left in a pool of his own blood, he finally descended from the Raging Tempest, falling down weakly.


    Raging Tempest rushed forward to finish the job.


    Apart from Raging Tempest, another enemy came from the dark. Perhaps, feeling that Raging Tempest was not fast enough and knowing Legs''s danger and cunning, a warrior charged out the next moment inside an alien machine.


    A unanimous warrior with Grade D strength rode a mech armor out.


    This massive mech armor was 2 meters tall with wide feet with tires. Its hands were massive sniper rifles, its chest had different muzzle ports for different guns, and its cockpit was a methrower.


    The mech aimed at Legs with its 2 sniper rifle arms, then it shot.


    BOOM! BOOM!


    The 2 attacks were deadly, if they hit, Legs was dead for sure.


    But they didn''t hit, something blocked them.


    A loud sound of collision reverberated as the massive ice wall shattered into pieces to Raging Tempest and the mech pilot''s shock.


    Since the battle started, Christensen and de were nowhere to be found, Brutus was hiding these 2 warriors close to Legs since.


    Everything went ordingly as Legs nned.


    As soon as the mech pilot attacked, Leo now stronger than ever in the Northern Continent erected a massive ice wall that blocked the 2 sniper shots, buying time for Legs to survive.


    In this time, de already rushed closer to feed his master the special recovery pill that he concocted.


    -----


    You have ingested the Instant-Recovery Pill


    You have regained all your health points


    ----


    Legs grinned as his vitality returned.


    He red at the mech. "Like I expected, who would have expected that the talkative female hunter would be the legendary Ghost of the Clown Society?"


    The mech pilot''s voice reverberated mechanically. "How did you know me?"


    Captain Stokes was infuriated. "So you were really a spy all along Chloe?"


    "You mother*cking liar and spy!". This hunter Captain was infuriatedpletely, thinking of his interactions with her left him fuming.


    Raging Tempest was shocked about everything but he dared not tarry as he continued his charge forward, this time, de blocked him, buying his master all the time in the world to do what he needed to do.


    Legs grinned. "Today is your unlucky day".


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Having received Legs''s signal ahead of time, Lucky was already waiting in the beast ne with her gang. As soon as the rainbow bridge opened, they all jumped through it as they arrived at this battlefield.


    Legs flexed his muscles having fused with Predator. "Let the battle begin".

 Chapter 159 A Fierce Battle Royale; Arrival Of A Boss-Level Character

    "Let the battle begin".


    Legs''s words seemed like a decree from a god in heaven as the atmosphere instantly turned tenser and stiffer.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Scale Defense


    -----


    While also preparing himself, Legs warned his allies.


    "No warrior should stay alone".


    "Christensen, team up with de and move as a team".


    "Captain Stokes, team up with Captain Cinnabar since he is the only 2nd Grade D hunter here, everyone below our grade is not qualified for this battle".


    "Every Grade E and below hunter should give our battlefield a distance".


    Legs gave orders at the speed of a machine gun as he attentively looked at the movements of his opponents even as Predator circled them.


    Lucky and the other Foxes also circled them, it was as if they were waiting for an unknown catalyst that would spur them on to start the battle.


    Legs tookplete advantage of the current inactivity.


    "Beware of Raging Tempest, he is swift and lethal".


    "When empowered by his wind elemental abilities, none of you have the capabilities to survive a head-on attack against his sword and is why I ordered you to be in teams, so cooperate to fend him off".


    "As for his speed, just watch each other''s backs".


    "You can''t match his speed".


    Legs stared with unwavering focus at the mech. "Ghost is the real untamable beast in this battlefield, we''ll have to improvise as the battle goes on".


    "His mech is made using alien materials of extremely high quality".


    "His defense is highly durable, go for attrition attacks".


    "As for his offense, beware of his sniper rifles".


    "One full-powered shot from them can kill any of you".


    "All 12-gun ports in his chest have different bullet configurations, stun bullets, electric bullets, smoke bullets, name it, they are unpredictable".


    "Just be prepared to react on a moment''s notice".


    In a normal battle against a normal opponent, Ghost and Raging Tempest would have already attacked by now. Letting your opponent strategize in your presence was foolish but they were just too shocked to act.


    Legs''s words were as true as a Unicorn''s words.


    The fact that the Sexy Chocte knew so much about Ghost, one of the sess samples of Clown''s experiments while they had not met directly or indirectly once was so strange that it gave these 2 warriors goosebumps.


    Legs did this on purpose, he continued as their dread of him increased.


    "As for its cockpit, de, this is mostly for you".


    "You''re a Pugilist but don''t be enthusiastic to close the distance to him".


    "The cockpit methrower can spit fire that burns over a thousand degrees that can incinerate you to ashes in mere seconds".


    "So how can we kill it?" Captain Stokes panicked.


    "My way". Legs made a secret gesture with his fingers.


    Distracted by his words already, none of them detected his secret gesture, only Christensen, Legs''s long-time student understood his master''s shenanigans and recognized it as he acted immediately.


    Christensen received and digested his master''s orders, he raised the G-96 Pistols as he aimed at the chest of the unsuspecting Mech.


    Christensen pulled the trigger.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The special Chaotic Mana Bullets came out flying with incredible speed. Ghost was unable to react as the special bullets raked across her mech''s chest.


    "Now!"


    Legs roared as he exploded forward with speed.


    Tu! Tu! Tu!


    Ghost, rmed finally pulled the trigger but this was exactly what Legs wanted. Instantly, the special attributes of the chaotic mana bullets took effect as the psionic energy powering the mech was instantly disorganized.


    This was a weakness that not even Clown who worked on the mech armor knew, Legs knew because he already yed against mechanics in his previous life. For a brief moment, the mech jerked unsteadily.


    It took the others more than a second to catch up to what just happened, but once they did, none of them hesitated as they exploded forward with speed.


    Raging Tempest bravely rushed forward to block them and protect Ghost who was still trying to regain control over her mech but he was vastly outnumbered and even more vastly outmatched.

    You have activated active ability: Combat Master

    ----


    "Roar!" Predator roared aggressively as his master controlled his body to pounce on this Wind Elementalist.


    Having been defeated by Raging Tempest once, he was enthusiastic on getting back now as his sharp and powerful ws mmed down against him.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    "Raging Tempest Specialty: Destructive Vortex!"


    Despite the tight situation that he was in, Raging Tempest was an elite Elementalist as he managed to activate his specialty ability.


    His light sword rose dangerously towards Legs but Legs was not alone.


    "Leave my master be!" de''s eyes were colder than ice.


    "Enchanted Ability: Wind Speed!"


    "Enchanted Ability: Poseidon''s Speed!"


    "Enchanted Ability: Poseidon''s Fury!"


    Boom!


    Raging Tempest received the first attack that drew blood from him.


    The sudden increase in speed and strength of his opponent was unexpected, de''s Enchanted Sword, Poseidon''s Fury cut his abdomen open as blood flowed.


    de didn''t linger though, knowing the priority, he charged towards the mech.


    "Roar!"


    Leo pounced on the Wind Elementalist as he froze his legs.


    As Leo and Christensen tangled with Raging Tempest, all the other powerhouses charged towards the mech which Ghost was still trying to regain control over. Ghost could already see her death looming closer.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    With de taking the lead, they dared not hold back as they attacked the mech. Metallic particles were constantly torn apart as the mech started releasing sparks after some time, but the next moment, its red eyes suddenly glowed again.


    Boom!


    Captain Stokes waspletely unable to react.


    de was barely able to react, but he was still caught by the fiery mes that shot out of the mech''s cockpit as they were all scorched.


    Legs intervened right on time, jumping in to prevent them from dying.


    -----


    You have received severe burn damage


    You have been inflicted with the bleed status


    ----


    Legs gritted his teeth through all the pain as he fought fist to fist against the mech, trying his best to prevent the sniper rifles from aiming.


    Raging Tempest freed himself from Christensen and Leo as he rushed to Ghost''s side, enabling her to briefly overpower Legs.


    Boom! Boom!


    2 extremely loud shot sounds reverberated.


    Despite trying his best, one of the sniper rifles shot.


    Blood blossomed brightly as Captain Cinnabar was shot on the chest. Arge gaping hole was left in his chest as this Grade D hunter Elementalist copsed on the ground in a pool of his own blood, he didn''t survive the shot.


    The 2nd shot was not from the mech.


    Far away in the distance, Raining Sword knelt on the ground with a massive cannon on his shoulders. With incredible precision, he shot the canon as Raging Tempest lost his left hand instantly despite dodging.


    With cold eyes, Raining Sword ordered his teammates.


    "Load the cannon again".


    "Yes Captain!"


    This disruption from the yers changed the battlefield. Unlike before, against these 2 powerhouses, the Foxes could no longer show their usual dominance but with this opportunity, they exploded.


    Theypletely tore the mech apart as Ghostunched out of it just before it was torn apartpletely, shended and brought out 2 Enchanted Daggers.


    Legs stood before them, towering like a Giant.


    "Surrender, you''ve lost".


    "Really?" Ghost smirked.


    "Damn". Legs cursed. "What bad timing".


    "Dodge". He yelled at hispanions as they all dodged despite not knowing what was happening, they already trusted Legspletely.


    This reaction from Legs once again shocked Ghost.


    They dodged right on time, dodging the dozens of arrows that reeked with undead energy that just descended on their previous location.


    "Sexy Chocte, I''m impressed, managing to drive 2 of our best Red Masters so far, you are really an opponent worthy of my attention".


    Hearing this voice, every eye turned to the east where it came from.


    This was a strange human, one who had the normal body and flesh of a human but no fleshy head, only a skull upied his head. A skull that was engulfed in spooky green mes, undead mes.


    He was riding on top a ck horse that was also in green mes, an undead Hell Horse. Behind him was an army of skeleton warriors and skeleton archers.


    Every hunter on this battlefield was shocked except Legs.


    He calmly looked at this warrior. "Pseudo-ck Master Daemon".


    "The Skull Necromancer".


    This time, Ghost could not keep her calm, she freaked out. "Are you a god?"


    "How do you freaking know him?!"


    Legs turned to look at her without fear. "I know everything".

 Chapter 160 The Skull Necromancer

    Before storming Raging Tempest''sir¡­


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration


    Beast Integration Sessful!


    You have fused with Bran


    [Base Control Level: 35%]


    [Intermediate Summoner Knowledge: Enhanced Leadership Detected!]


    [+15% Control Level!]


    [Overall Control Level: 50%]


    ----


    Inside his room that was allocated to him inside the Glory Dome, Legs secretly fused with Bran without the knowledge of any of hispanions.


    He flew into the skies, disappearing into the clouds where he had an unrestricted view over every corner and crook of the Hunter Union headquarters.


    Despite nabbing some spies in the past 3 days already, Legs still did not feel at rest. In his previous life, there were a lot of scenarios where due to underestimating the Clown Society, they did the main organizations bad.


    Having witnessed a lot of these scenarios, he dared not underestimate them.


    Being one of the strongest and well-protected shelters in Darvis with an incredible history, which also housed the headquarters of the Hunter Union, Legs''s intuition told him that Clown would give here special attention.


    This was why he also decided to give the Dragon Shelter special attention.


    He followed his intuition and constantly watched like a hawk.


    -----


    You have activated Special Ability: Eyes of a Dozen Void Ravens


    You have activated Special Ability: Eyes of Truth


    ----


    Through these 2 abilities, Legs watched everywhere around the Glory Dome like a hawk for 3 days until the time came to go for the raid.


    Despite leaving, as reassurance, he left Bran behind.


    Hidden high up in the skies beyond the clouds, not even General Toothpick knew of the Void Raven''s surveince.


    This was how Bran was able to detect the strange happenings as Chloe drugged her 2panions and escaped the headquarters.


    Through the clouds, Bran followed her and discovered everything.


    And through their telepathic connection, Legs also received all the feedback as new conspiracy theories started being drawn in his head.


    As soon as the Messenger Raven flew out, Bran followed it.


    The order was to kill the messenger Raven but this bird of prey was super-fast. For 5 minutes after it took flight, Bran was unable to catch up to it despite his incredible speed and the augments from his abilities.


    When he finally closed the distance, the Raven already arrived.


    Whoosh!


    Bran reacted right on time, halting in the air while rapidly unleashing his Iron Feathers ability that countered the deadly arrows that were shot at him.


    Despite being stopped, Bran was able to see everything.


    Hidden in the Frost Forest, he saw the undead army that was filled with skeleton warriors and skeleton archers. He also saw their leader who rode a fiery horse, and he also dutifully sent feedbacks to his master.


    As soon as Legs saw the skull that was engulfed in spooky green mes, he recognized this enemy''s identity.


    He instantly ordered Bran to escape.


    Without hesitation, Bran flew back up into the skies.


    Pseudo-ck Master Daemon grabbed the letter and read its contents.


    This was why during the battle, Legs was not surprised by how prepared their opponents were neither was he surprised about the Mech''s appearance after deducing Chloe''s identity already.


    This was why he also knew about Daemon''s appearance beforehand.


    ¡­


    "How do you freaking know him?!" Ghost freaked out.


    "I know everything".


    Legs''s words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.


    Legs''s words seemed like heavenly decrees from a god in heaven as silence suddenly reigned in this battlefield, only the Skull Necromancer chuckled as he looked at Legs with an interested look on his face.


    "Sexy Chocte¡­, what will you do?"


    Legs looked behind this Necromancer, at his army of undead skeletons.


    The Skull Necromancer apart from his undead army was renowned for 3 of his iconic Named Skeletons, the named skeleton warrior Ghost, the named skeleton knight Diablo, and the named skeleton archer Apollo.


    Ghost was a swift skeleton warrior who was incredibly skilled with the spear, Diablo was a skeleton knight who wielded a sword and shield and also rode a Hell Horse, Apollo was female, a skeleton archer notorious for her precision.


    Legs smirked as he looked straight at the Skull Necromancer''s eyes. "Did you ask what will I do?"


    Heughed. "This is an opportunity of a lifetime".


    He raised his voice. "I''m going to kill you of course!"


    Whoosh!


    Legs ended his speech right on time for Bran to descend from the skies, he separated from Predator instantly, ignoring the bacsh as he jumped up.

    The Skull Necromancer currently held the title of the strongest Grade D superhuman warrior. ording to history from his previous life, Legs knew that this warrior already forfeited his humanity.


    For decades, he held the title as the strongest Grade D Summoner.


    Stuck at the Grade D realm for decades, he became frustrated, so he decided to take the dark path. By willingly selling his soul, he forfeited his ss as a Summoner and took the dark path, bing a Necromancer.


    As a Necromancer, he became stronger than ever before.


    He was now doomed to never be a Grade C superhuman but as a Grade D Necromancer, he became the strongest Grade D superhuman warrior alive.


    On seeing him, Legs already decided to try his luck against him. In his previous world, due to hiscking level, he was unable to fight this necromancer once but now, he wanted to take care of this stain in his reputation.


    He was curious to see how he would fare against this notorious necromancer. And in order to satisfy his curiosity, Legs could not stop himself.


    Whoosh!


    Like a meteorite, he flew towards the Necromancer with incredible velocity.


    And unlike the previous time, not only Christensen but more focused now, de also received his signal as they pounced on the unsuspecting Raging Tempest.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The sounds of collision from both sides collided in a huge cacophony, causing instant chaos on this battlefield as these powerhouses shed.


    Raging Tempest almost died but Pseudo-ck Master Daemon interfered.


    The sound of Apollo''s arrows flying through the air was like bomb explosions.


    As soon as they heard the sound, de''s danger instincts rang as without hesitation, he grabbed Christensen and ducked, barely saving their lives as the force of momentum of the arrow sliced a few of his hair along.


    This Named Skeleton Archer nocked her arrow and shot again.


    Boom!


    While Apollo dealt with the 2 students, Ghost and Diablo focused on the master. The momentum of the Foxes in Lucky''s Society was smashed imperiously by Diablo''s charge on his unstoppable Hell Horse.


    Redmane did not anticipate the strength of this undead skeleton on time.


    His shield was as heavy as a rock, a bash from it sent the Foxes dizzy.


    Ghost was as fast as the wind, he cut 2 injuries in Legs''s body in mere seconds. In just a few exchanges, the superiority in power was established.


    The Skull Necromancer finally spoke as he looked at Legs with a crazy smile on his face. "It''s been long since I felt this excited facing a Summoner".


    "Do not disappoint me".


    The Skull Necromancer entered the battle with his Hell Horse.


    Legs grinned. "Bring it on".

 Chapter 161 Legolas Vs The Skull Necromancer!

    The Skull Necromancer experienced a feeling that Legs reciprocated.


    Like the Necromancer, he had never felt this excited facing an opponent in battle since he reincarnated. Legs felt his blood boiling hot like a furnace, it felt like the first time when he soloed a boss character in Dominator.


    With incredible focus, Legs red at his opponent.


    The Skull Necromancer sent Apollo to keep the 2 Red Masters from dying to the incredible assault by Christensen, de, and Captain Stokes.


    As soon as the Necromancer exploded with speed towards him on top his Hell Horse alongside his 2 Named skeleton warrior and knight and his undead army, Legs also exploded towards him with speed.


    "Redmane, do not fail me".


    "I need you the most now".

    ----


    In one go, Legs activated all of Bran''s abilities and the effects were instant.


    Bzzz!


    Like a phantom, the airspace directly beside one of the charging Hell Horses shifted as Legs in his iconic transformed form with wings appeared.


    As soon as Legs appeared beside the Hell Horse, at that point-nk range, he did not hesitate as the Iron Feathers ability activated. His feathers were unleashed like bullets from a sub-machine gun as they rattled the Horse''s hide.


    It neighed loudly as blood flowed.


    Legs did not stop at that; his speed was so outrageous after fusing with Bran that it seemed like he was attacking from a space existing outside time.


    Instantly after the Iron Feathers, the Void Spears ability activated.


    Before the Hell Horse could recover from its injuries, the airspace shifted again as from inside came out golden spears with deadly and sharp edges.


    Without hesitation, they dug into the Hell Horse''s body.


    The Obliterate ability followed soon after as it attempted to squeeze the Hell Horse and tear it to pieces, this was when the Skull Pugilist who had been evading all the attacks on top the Hell Horse since improvised.


    "Necromancy Ability: Re-birth!"


    "Necromancy Ability: Abyss Shield!"


    "Necromancy Ability: Abyss Smash!"


    Whoosh!


    Instantly after Daemon said these words, in an incredible disy of superhuman power, all the injuries of the Hell Horse healed instantly as it seemed to have been reborn like a Phoenix.


    Before the space couldpletely squeeze the reborn Hell Horse, ck mes erupted out of the ground as a pitch-ck shield rose up.


    The Abyss Shield stood tall and strong like the Ancient Wall of China.


    Boom!


    The space could only squeeze but the Abyss Shield stood its ground.


    The next moment, the Abyss Smash activated as the ck mes turned into hammers that now smashed towards Legs''s pest-like form.


    Legs''s eyes gleamed sharply.


    As soon as the Rapid Speed ability activated, his speed increased ridiculously as like an unstoppable space ship, he evaded the deadly attack.


    He didn''t stop at that, while evading, his right wing ruthlessly sliced sideways straight at the exposed neck of the Skull Necromancer.


    Everything that happened did in just within a second.


    And after a second, Ghost and Diablo could finally react.


    "Die, human!"


    The Skeleton Warrior pounced on the human with his sword swiftly but he was blocked by an over-protective beast.


    "ROAR!!!"


    Predator''s roar reverberated like thunder as he shed against the skeleton.


    With the Nightmare Beast now involved, the Skeleton Knight improvised as it turned around to help Ghost finish off the beast but Predator was not alone.


    "Roar!"


    Zorro''s roar was as deep as the deepest Ocean.


    It sent shudders through the spines of most humans that heard it.


    With his incredible strength, this giant Fox that was as huge as a human caught the sharp sword of the Skeleton Knight with his teeth as he charged towards him like a Bull. Diablo improvised and defended with his shield.


    BOOM!


    The shield held but Diablo and the Hell Horse were not strong enough to withstand the incredible force and momentum, Diablo was knocked off his horse.


    Even the mes of the Hell Horse seemed to decrease due to the Hoary Fox''s incredible strength, Zorro roared loudly again after achieving this feat.


    It instantly became a 3 on 3 battle.


    Predator fought fiercely against Ghost.


    Zorro fought fiercely against the mighty Diablo.


    As for Legs, he shed with the Skull Pugilist in a battle to the death.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Legs fleeted through this small battlefield like a phantom, attacking from different angles but the Skull Pugilist was able to keep with his speed on top his Hell Horse as together, they resisted him fiercely.


    As for Redmane, hemanded the other Foxes to hold the skeleton army.


    "Biscuit, stay steady, their soul is their lifeline".


    "Keep on messing with their soul".


    "Vixen, keep on creating illusions and attack when the chance opens".


    "Hunter, keep on creating earthen walls to aide our defense".


    "Kalsang, focus on attacking, deal as much damage as possible".


    "Winter, you''re in your domain, freeze them and hinder their mobility".


    "Also attack them and kill as much as possible".


    "Lucky, attack, defend, and also spread luck to all your allies".


    "Aye, Commander!"


    As Redmane issued orders at the incredible speed of a machine gun, so also did the Foxes execute them as together, they held the undead army at bay.


    Their defense, support, and offense were organized and impable.


    They attacked and defended as a unit.


    Despite the incredible numbers of the undead army, they were not overwhelmed, as a unit, they hammered these brainless undead.


    Skeleton warriors and archers kept on dying every second.


    With his beasts taking care of therge part of the battle, Legs was able to focus on the Skull Necromancer. He used literally every trick in his books.


    Despite trying his best though, pushing the Skull Necromancer so far, in the end, this Necromancer was stronger. Not only did he have more health points, more mana points, and more endurance, he had higher attributes.


    Also, this veteran was definitely notcking in battle experience.


    Boom!


    After a little mishap on his part, the Skull Necromancer ruthlessly took advantage of it as his green glowing sword cut Legs''s abdomen open.


    "Ugh¡­" Legs groaned in pain as he retreated.


    The Skull Necromancer unhesitatingly went after him.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    After dealing the first injury to him, the battle became one-sided as this Necromancer just kept on beating and pushing him back.


    The next moment, after biding his time for 10 minutes of battle, Daemon activated the Beast Integration ability as he fused with the Hell Horse.


    Legs now barely stood a chance as he was beaten ck and blue.


    Surviving so long against this legend was already an achievement on his part, from the beginning, he knew that there were little chances of him winning.


    As Legs was battered, the oue in the other locations was not much different. Despite being injured by Raining Sword, Raging Tempest was still one of the best Red Masters of the Clown Society.


    Also, Ghost was a high-ranking Red Master of the Clown Society.


    Pairing these 2 with Apollo, Christensen, de, and Captain Stokes could only do so much as they started being hammered by their enemies.


    Bam!


    After onest swiftbo, Christensen fell from on top Leo as he was pushed to the ground. Ghost pounced on him with her deadly Enchanted daggers, without hesitation, she went for the kill.


    Looking at his elder brother about to be killed, de''s eyes zed red in anger, unwillingness, and frustration.


    The cacophony of emotions bubbling in his mind at this moment stimted him so much that in the blink of an eye, something hidden inside him was awakened.


    "Ahhhhh¡­!" de roared as his hair transformed, turning red like blood.


    A massive shockwave erupted with him at the center as everyone around him was affected by it, throwing them away and narrowly saving Christensen from death. ck lightning came from nowhere as they snaked through his body.


    de''s eyes now pitch-ck looked up as they red at Ghost.


    Ghost felt his heart skipping a beat.


    At this same moment, Legs''s interface lit up a notification.

    ----


    "Bam!"


    Legs received another injury as the Skull Pugilist''s de cut a deep hole through his chest but Legspletely ignored the pain.


    With eyes widened in shock, he looked at his student who at this moment had ck lightning snaking through his body like he was a god.


    Legs felt both dread and excitement.


    ''The de that I once knew is here''. He thought.


    Noticing Legs''s suddenck of concentration which was a first in this battle, the Skull Pugilist was startled as he turned to look in the same direction.


    What he saw happen next was something that he would never forget.


    After the shockwave, Christensen breath raggedly as the feeling of escaping death left him petrified on the floor. As for Ghost and Raging Tempest, they looked at de''s new form with confusion in their eyes.


    de red at Ghost, then the next moment, he moved.


    Whoosh!


    With Poseidon''s Fury on his right hand, de seemed to turn into a Sword God. His eyes were now pitch-ck which were a reflection of his extreme emotions as he erupted towards this Red Master.


    de''s speed was so fast that it seemed like he teleported.


    As soon as he arrived beside this shortdy, he roared.


    "Master of Debuff Ability: Demoralizing Roar!"


    Ghost was rattled by the roar instantly but this was not what proved lethal to her, it was what followed next as de''s eyes seemed to briefly glow.


    "Master of Debuff Ability: Disorientation!"


    Instantly, Ghost lost bnce.


    "Master of Debuff Ability: Ear Curse!"


    Instantly, Ghost started hearing a fast metal song ying in her head, one that she hated since her childhood and reminded her of when she was a young girl.


    "Noooo¡­!" She screamed in fear.


    rmed and shocked, this Red Master desperate and already feeling the presence of the god of death desperately tried to fight for her life.


    As she looked up at de with her twin Enchanted daggers, looking at his pitch-ck eyes, she felt a sudden deep feeling of intimidation towards him, she had to force herself to fight for her life.


    With her twin Enchanted daggers, she shed wildly with all her might.


    Whoosh!


    An incredible scene presented itself before all the spectators.


    For the next few seconds, it was like de could read her every move.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Every of her attacks was responded to with an attack that perfectly countered it, Ghost stood no chance, at this moment it was like the scenario of a younger brother trying a boxing battle against his much older brother.


    The oue was evident, total annihtion.


    For 2 seconds, de totally vited this originally prouddy.


    She was beaten so roughly that she was left in a pool of her own blood while all the while de didn''t use his sword yet, he grabbed her by the cor as her hands dangled weakly beside her, she was now too weak to move.


    de''s pitch-ck eyes red into her eyes.


    "You''ve overstayed your wee in Darvis".


    Whoosh!


    With one smooth and ruthless sh, Ghost lost her head.


    As blood blossomed like a fountain, the atmosphere turned tense as an intense chilliness suddenly descended, decreasing the temperature even further.


    Perhaps, Christensen and the others would not understand the significance of this moment but as a warrior who knew and sparred with Ghost before now, Raging Tempest waspletely horrified by what he saw.


    "Wind Elemental Ability: Speed King!"


    Whoosh!


    Raging Tempest barely started to move before de sprinted into his path to block him, it was like this Pugilist suddenly became a prophet.


    He read every single one of Raging Tempest''s moves like he was reading a book, every spectator who witnessed this was horrified.


    "Help me!"


    "Master Daemon, help me!"


    Looking at death in the eye now, Raging Tempest was pushed beyond horrified as he abandoned his pride and called for help.


    Boom!


    In his integrated state with his Hell Horse, the Skull Necromancer exploded with speed towards this young Pugilist but de was prepared for him.


    Bam! Bam!


    de''s sword, Poseidon''s Fury shed ruthlessly, reverberating like thunder as like a Pugilist god, he read these 2 enemies'' moves and fought them singlehandedly.


    Though this continued for only a few seconds, this told the Skull Necromancer all that he needed to know.


    For the first time in a long time, his eyes narrowed in horror.


    He grabbed Raging Tempest as he turned around to escape.


    "Don''t let them escape!"


    "Kill them!" Legs finally sprang up to his feet as he yelled.


    Christensen and Captain Stokes were jolted back to life as they all rushed forward to block them, but the Skull Necromancer was a man with a lot of means.


    Despite reading his intentions, de could not stop him.


    The army of undead skeletons threw themselves at the enemies like a flood.


    With his Named Skeleton Warrior, Knight, and Archer, the Skull Necromancer tried to escape but mid-escape, he was blocked by a battalion of superhuman warriors all wearing the iconic brown uniform of the Hunter Union.


    Themotion of this battle already spread far and wide.


    After taking his time, General Toothpick finally arrived.

 Chapter 163 A Battle Of The Elites!

    One sweep with his eyes was all General Toothpick needed to understand the general situation of this battle.


    Seeing Captain Cinnabar in a pool of his own blood pained his heart but it wasn''t unexpected, what he didn''t expect to see was a warrior donning the already iconic red clothes of the Clown Society also losing her head.


    He didn''t know how they did it but what mattered was that they did it.


    At this moment, time seemed to have stopped as only the elites of this battlefield were moving. Leading the Raging Tempest, the Skull Necromancer engulfed in green mes rode his Hell Horse rapidly to escape.


    His skull that burned green mes rapidly scanned this battlefield.


    Captain Toothpick observed, behind the necromancer were de, the little Pugilist who followed Legs, Legs himself, Christensen, and Captain Stokes who were hot in pursuit.


    From their eyes, he could see the determination to kill.


    Every other person in this battlefield was either still or too slow to make a difference, this was when General Toothpick finally reacted.


    "Warriors, don''t let the enemy escape!"


    "Erect Earthen Walls and cut off his escape route!"


    "Yes, General!"


    Seeing the corpses of theirrades lying on the ground in pools of their own blood was all the motivation that these hunters needed, seeing the escaping Necromancer, they obeyed their General and did the deed.


    General Toothpick also made his move.


    "Advanced Earth Elementalist Ability: Ancient Mud Wall!"


    Boom!


    From the ground, a massive earthen wall with mystical runes rose up.


    Unlike most other Elementalists, General Toothpick did not use an Elementalist staff as his weapon. What he instead used was an Elementalist glove that not only increased his element control speed but also his attack power.


    As soon as his gloved hands smashed against the ground, the wall rose up.


    He was not the only one who erected a wall. All the other Earth Elementalists in his personal hunter squad did the same as they erected massive earthen walls, turning this battlefield into a gigantic prison, trapping the enemies inside it.


    As for the other hunters that were behind them, they didn''t need General Toothpick''s instructions before they knew what to do.


    None of them dared rush to engage in closebat with this horrifying opponent but from a distance, they hauled attacks at him.


    "Skull Specialty: Imprable Defense!"


    During the little sh with de, as he escaped, he was inclined to separate from his Hell Horse but now facing this dangerous situation again, the Skull Necromancer had no choice but to integrate with the beast again.


    As soon as he integrated with the Hell Horse again, the Skull Necromancer tanked the damage, but the next moment, he charged towards them.


    "Skull Specialty: Knight''s Charge!"


    In an incredible disy of superhuman powers, on activating this specialty of his, Diablo who was behind him since seemed to turn into the sh.


    With incredible speed, this skeleton knight elerated and merged with him. With 2 of his summons now in him, he charged at the earthen wall.


    The green energy that engulfed him glowed brighter as with Diablo''s massive round shield, he mmed at the wall with all his might.


    BOOM!


    The sound of collision was like exploding dominoes.


    The ground cracked and vibrated like an earthquake was imminent.


    Dozens of the Elementalists who erected the wall grimaced as they coughed blood on the aftermath, even General Toothpick winced slightly but he dared not lose focus as under his will, the runes reinforcing the wall glowed brighter.


    The Knight''s Charge was the Skull Necromancer''s strongest one-hit attack.


    Unfortunately, the wall stood strong. The expression on this necromancer''s skull face turned to that of despair as he collided against the wall without escaping.


    With this wasted opportunity, he lost his best chance of escaping.


    With ck lightning snaking through his body, de was the closest enemy that was directly behind his heels as this changed Pugilist shed with him.


    "You''re not escaping under my watch, Hideous Skull!"


    de shed with Poseidon''s Fury with incredible strength.


    The Pugilist''s arrogant words riled Daemon uppletely. With eyes zing green in fury, he turned to look at de. "I''ll show you your ce kid!"


    "I''ll show you why I''m the strongest!"


    "Skull Specialty: Dance of the Dead!"


    Bzzz!


    Instantly, night seemed to descend in this battlefield and from the pitch-ck darkness came out undead Horse riders all wielding different weapons.


    Pushed to a wall, after a decade of getting this ability and using itst, the Skull Necromancer was forced to use it again. He directly called upon the souls of the victims who fell to his sword toe fight on his behalf.


    This was not the Skull Necromancer''s most powerful one-hit ability, but this was without doubt his overall most powerful ability by a mile.


    General Toothpick''s eyes widened as he recognized this ability.


    "Don''t let de fight alone!" He roared.


    Without any more misgivings, General Toothpick left his defense and charged into the darkness. With his hands zing with earthen fury, he smashed his way into the darkness directly to sh against this necromancer.


    From inside the darkness came the dance of death.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The sounds of battle reverberated like crackling thunder.


    Legs, having recognized the ability also acted with haste. Having deactivated his Beast Integration ability already, he no longer charged in to fight a melee battle because he was no longer needed for melee battle.


    This ability may be dangerous but Legs hadplete trust in de.


    This main character of Darvis would not die a fool''s death.


    As a Summoner, Legs''s real specialty wasmanding his beasts to battle, he used the Beast Integration so frequently because he didn''t have apanion who could do the head-on battles on his behalf.


    Now with de, he no longer needed to do all the work.


    Legs closed his eyes and focused.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Commander of the Herd


    ----


    Instantly, Legs''s green Summoner energy pervaded the battlefield like fire, diffusing into the body of all his beasts and massively empowering them.


    "Predator, lead the charge!"


    "Lucky, lead the Foxes".


    "Follow Predator''s lead".


    "ROAR!" Predator roared with even more enthusiasm.


    Against strong opponents that could give him a hard time, Predator was always over enthusiastic to give his best and this time was no different. The Nightmare Beast was like a monster possessed as he charged forward fearlessly.


    Without hesitation, as Legs controlled andmanded them from the rear, all the beasts rushed into the darkness to battle.


    With his master taking the lead, Christensen did not hesitate as he also stayed behind and sent Leo in. Brutus turned Leo invisible as the now invisible Frost Wolf charged into the darkness with his frost powers zing on all cylinders.


    The Northern Continent was Leo''s domain, and in his domain, Leo was deadly.


    As a fire Elementalist, Captain Stokes dealt AOE damage from a distance.


    Raging Tempest was also caught in the darkness so he had to fight.


    For the next few minutes, this turned into a battle among elite superhumans.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The sound reverberating from inside the darkness was groundbreaking. For a few minutes, it felt like Dragon Shelter was experiencing the end of the world.


    Bzzz!


    After minutes, all of a sudden, the darkness disappeared, exposing inside.


    With bated breathes, Legs looked at the aftermath.


    All the beasts were rightfully injured including Leo, Predator, and Zorro.


    General Toothpick had a dislocated arm after the sh, the invincible Skull Necromancer no longer looked so invincible, he still stood but he had blood all over his body.


    Raging Tempest also still stood but he also had blood all over his body.


    Apollo was already dead after de''s calcted attacks.


    Diablo and Ghost were left in a wreaked state, the Skull Necromancer''s undead army was reduced to nothing more than a squad of skeletons.


    Only de''s condition looked different, he was an extraordinary exception.


    After all themotion, de only suffered a nose injury.


    With ck lightning snaking through his body, he red at the Skull Necromancer, awaiting his next decision so he could read it ahead of time.


    Time seemed to freeze and this was when someone else acted.


    Boom!


    The sound of a canon shot reverberated, Raging Tempest did not expect it this time or better still, he was already too weak to dodge.


    The canon blew this Wind Elementalist''s head to bits.

 Chapter 164 Daemons Last Stand!

    Far away in the distance, smoke rose out of the canon''s muzzle.


    With a stunned look on his face, Raining Sword did not know which expression to make as his virtual interface lit up the next moment.


    -----


    [Congrattions! You have achieved an impossible feat by dealing the killing blow to a Grade D superhuman when you are still a Grade F superhuman!]

    ----


    Raining Sword was stunned.


    He wanted to take a moment to celebrate, he was na?ve, he didn''t know the significance of what his action had on this battlefield.


    After the darkness disappeared and all the participants of the battle observed the aftermath, a tense suffocating atmosphere diffused the air as they observed each other, the sounds of their ragged breaths reverberated.


    Any movement from anyone of them could ignite another frenzied sh.


    After such an intense bout, all of them seemed toe to an agreement to collectively catch their breath but Raining Sword broke this delicate bnce.


    As soon as Raging Tempest lost his head and the delicate bnce was broken, de was the one who acted first.


    With his Precognition talent, he read the Skull Necromancer''s motives first as he exploded with speed towards him but he was not fast enough.


    In the blink of an eye, he was the only psychopath left alive on this battlefield.


    From the beginning till now, he was arrogant and full of himself, he already tried to use brute-force, he tried to use intelligence, cunning, he also tried to use restraint but none worked.


    For some reason, his originally incredible luck seemed to have been cursed by the goddess of luck and he was experiencing his unluckiest day ever.


    He never knew of the one little Fox that was his greatest nemesis.


    Because of this, everything seemed to go against his favor.


    But not again, he would no longer y with his life.


    In his decades of walking the, searching for ways to be a Grade C Summoner without much progress, he was not idle, though his grade did not increase, his plethora of abilities increased incredibly.


    He believed that one of them could save him.


    "Necromancy Ability: Darkness Bats!"


    "Master of Debuff Ability: Disorientation!"


    As soon as de activated this ability, all the bats that flew out of the Skull Necromancer''s body lost their sense of direction as they flew aimlessly.


    In desperation, Daemon''s voice rang again.


    "Necromancy Ability: Underworld Teleportation!"


    "Master of Debuff Ability: Ear Curse!"


    The teleportation portal filled with a sinister undead aura barely started opening before all the bats shrieked as they heard the sound that they feared the most. In a bat state, Daemon had his vulnerabilities.


    With the sounds reverberating in his ears as an eyesore, none of the bats were able to focus as the sinister teleportation portal flickered into bright lights.


    During all this time as de inflicted him with his debuff abilities, he was not idle as he charged towards the bats in a bid to slice them all to pieces.


    Though it was not more than 2 seconds yet this was enough time for him.


    de finally closed the distance and the Skull Necromancer for the first time felt the feeling of fear against an opponent that was not a Grade C superhuman.


    His brains through all the bats feeling the embrace of the god of death all geared into overdrive as he desperately thought of a way to save his ass.


    The next moment, he arrived at hisst-gasp n.


    "Necromancy Ability: Nethermes!"


    "Necromancy Ability: Self-Combustion!"


    "Special Ability: Cell Transportation!"


    Before he activated the first 2 deadly abilities, de''s precognition worked as he detected the danger ahead of time. He tried to escape but he was already in point-nk range, he could only activate his cell regeneration ability and hope.


    BOOM!


    In a bright explosive disy of art, Pseudo-ck Master Daemon of the Clown Society, the invincible Skull Necromancer self-imploded.


    The greenhermes spread with such impunity like they wanted to burn the whole world. General Toothpick reacted on time to activate another Ancient Mud Wall that protected himself and all the beasts that were close to him.


    As for Legs and the others, they were not so lucky.


    Though it was weakened at that distance, it was still deadly as thehermes swept through them like a gue, instantly killing dozens of hunters.


    Amid thehermes, trillions of microscopic cells started escaping.


    After imploding himself, through a special ability that he collected years ago, the Skull Pugilist was able to safeguard some of his cells and ordered them to escape amid the opportunity that his self-implosion brought.


    ording to scientists, an average human had 37.2 trillion cells.


    As a superhuman, he had even more. Though most of them were dead as he was now a Necromancer, Daemon still had trillions of functioning cells.


    They were still the building blocks of his existence.


    Hisst-gasp n was safe-guarding his cells.


    Even as trillions of cells were burned, the others all gained wills of their own as they rapidly escaped the vicinity of the explosion with the speed of light.


    With his pitch-ck eyes ring at them from the mes, de could do nothing as he watched all the cells escape from his field of vision.


    They escaped but not after he gave them a special package of his own.


    "Master of Debuff ability: Hunter''s Mark!"


    de stood inside the mes with Poseidon''s Fury until thehermespletely burned, all the while despite getting scorched his cell regeneration kicked up as he recoveredpletely in no time.


    On turning to look, he saw dozens of hunters turned to roasted flesh already and dead from the deadly mes.


    To his relief, Christensen and Captain Stokes also survived.


    At thest moment as the explosion just kicked off, Legs was fast enough to grab both warriors as he threw them towards General Toothpick, fully aware that he was the only one who could fully defend against the mes.


    As for himself, he made use of a treasure that he stole sometime ago.


    -----


    You have made use of a Special Treasure: Cloak of Nothingness!


    ----


    Once the mes finished burning, Legs came out of his invisible state.


    Silence reigned as master and student looked at each other from afar.

 Chapter 165 Payment

    The next day¡­


    Alongside his students, Captain Stokes, General Toothpick, and other hunters of the Hunter Union, the hunters who sacrificed their lives in the raid against the Clown Society were finallyid to rest.


    They were all buried in the Hunter Union''s official cemetery.


    In their ck clothes, Legs and his 2 students watched solemnly as the warriors that they fought alongside wereid to rest.


    A White Priest led the proceedings.


    After giving prayer to their gods and pleading for them to ept their souls to rest in eternal peace, they were finally lowered into their graves.


    Though Legs only spent a few days with Captain Cinnabar and all the other hunters who fought in the mission with him, he was still human and still developed a bond with all of them during the short time together.


    He sighed as he thought. ''In the end, there''s always casualties¡­"


    -----


    [You have witnessed battle, victory, and the burial of your hunterrades in the Hunter Union. Even in their death, they are grateful to you for leading them to a famous victory that a lot of them craved for]


    You have developed a special bond with the hunters of the Hunter Union!


    You now have a 50% easier chance of convincing hunters of the Hunter Union, as well as befriending them!


    ----


    Legs smiled. It was small but it was something.


    In the end, despite the casualties, what mattered was that theypleted their missions and eradicated the dominant bases of the Clown Society that hid in the Dragon Shelter.


    After destroying Raging Tempest''s base, eradicating thest 2 bases was easier. Though some of them already heard the news of Raging Tempest''s base and escaped, the others were either killed or captured.


    In Legs''s opinion, he aplished his mission.


    ¡­


    One weekter¡­


    Inside arge enclosed room, Legs sat alongside his 2 students with Captain Stokes as this hunter Captain questioned de curiously.


    "How did you do it?" He had a genuinely curious expression on his face.


    "One moment, Christensen was going to die and the next you were like boom, this is not even myst form lol".


    "Hahaha¡­" Legs and Christensen burst intoughter.


    Compared to de of a week ago, this de was much different. After unlocking his hidden power, he changed in literally every way, both physically and psychologically, he was a new warrior.


    His hair was now permanently red but thankfully, his eyes were not permanently pitch-ck. They only turn that way when he was riled up emotionally, and in that state, the others already learned to avoid him.


    If before, his aura was that of a determined youngster hoping to be the greatest Pugilist alive and avenge his parents and his tribe, his aura was now that of a veteran Pugilist who already lived through a thousand battles and developed experience from them all.


    Though he would never admit it, even Legs felt a little intimidated beside his student when his eyes turned pitch-ck.


    With all the new talents that he unlocked during that battle, de became more like the de that Legs was used to in his previous life.


    Though he exactly didn''t go into the battle with the Skull Necromancer with that intention, of course, Legs did not shy away from taking the credits.


    Afterall, he was the one who promised to make de the greatest Pugilist alive. Though he was still far from that, he was getting closer to it.


    "So, won''t you tell us?" Legs pressed his student as heughed.


    "Umm¡­" de scratched his head awkwardly. "It happened so fast, I think I unlocked it mostly because of my feeling of helplessness and rage".


    He turned slightly emotional. "At one phase of my life, I already lost loved ones due to my inability to get more strength and protect them".


    "After I lost my mom, I vowed never to lose a loved one again. At least, I''ll try myplete best to make sure that they don''t die".


    "At that moment, I think it was my desire to not lose my big brother that drove me to awakening my hidden abilities".


    The next moment, de turned to face his master. "But master, did you know that I had hidden abilities before now? Is that why you took me in?"


    Legsughed shamelessly. "Haha¡­, I was not sure but like I told you previously, I simply saw a lot of potential in you".


    "I guess in the end, I was right".


    de smiled as he said seriously. "Thanks for taking me in as your student".


    Legs smiled in reply.


    Click!


    The next moment, the door was pushed open as General Toothpick entered inside the room with a bright smile on his face.


    He pped. "I already spoke with the leader, he approved".


    "Finally," Legs was relieved as he stood up. "What did we get?"


    General Toothpick smiled. "10 million Darvis Credits".


    "You''ll have unrestricted ess to all the Basic Summoner knowledges that are in our collection, and you''ll have unrestricted ess to 5 of the 8 Basic Pugilist knowledges that are in our collection".


    "You''ll also choose between 1 of the 3 Intermediate Summoner knowledges that are in our collection, and 1 of the 2 Intermediate Pugilist knowledges that are in our collection".


    "Also, you have received the recognition of our leader".


    "You''ll now be recognized as a Master Hunter of the Hunter Union".


    General Toothpick smiled. "With this, like you wanted, you''ll get our connection. You can use the name of the Hunter Union for most if not all of your future transactions in your journey across the".


    "Also". The General smiled. "The leader hopes you''re open to more missionmissions like this, the Hunter Union have numerous uses for industrious, intelligent, and powerful warriors like you".


    Legs''s virtual interface lit up.


    -----


    Your Favorability with the Hunter Union has increased by +1000


    Total Favorability: 1120


    Your Favorability with the Hunter Union has increased to Allies status


    You now have increased privileges in the Hunter Union


    ----


    Legs smiled, this was exactly what he wanted. As allies with the Hunter Union, he could make use of their connection to ease a lot of his troubles.


    He looked at General Toothpick. "Of course, tell the leader that I''m always open for moremissions to help the Hunter Union".


    General Toothpick patted his back with a smile.


    Though they already expected their leader to handsomely reward Legs, Christensen, de, and Captain Stokes were still shocked by how much.


    Legs was not too shocked because he understood their thought process.


    A warrior like him was hard to see across all the continents of Darvis, knowing his worth and his future worth, the leader of the Hunter Union was adamant to ally him to them before the other organizations saw his worth.


    Using these rewards to buy his loyalty was a good bargain to them.


    After the payment, with a smile on his face, Legs went outside alongside the others to meet the yers who yed a key role in the previous battle.


    He would take his paymentter, he had other priorities now.


    On seeing Raining Sword, General Toothpick''s eyes gleamed sharply.


    He smiled shamelessly as he walked towards the warrior and patted him on the back. "What a strong warrior you are". Heughed.


    "I saw your performance in the previous battle, you''re a beast man!"


    "What do you think about bing a hunter of the Hunter Union?"


    Raining Sword smiled.


    Before he could reply, Legs walked in and put his arms across his shoulders as he looked at General Toothpick with a smile.


    "Sorry, but he''s already taken".


    "Haha". The Generalughed and waved the moment off.


    Staying with the yers, Legsplimented their efforts in the previous battle. Knowing pro yers was the main reason why he recruited them.


    Unlike normal yers, these guys were really strong and could be his helpers. Raining Sword''s performance was a prime example of that.


    After chatting with them some more, he exposed his n to them.


    Before doing any other thing, Legs needed to go to the beast ne.


    "I called for Ak''s help but he couldn''t respond to help me for some reason". Legs''s eyes narrowed. "I feel he is in danger".


    "You guys should wait for me here, I will go check on him".


    "I''ll follow you". Christensen easily decided.


    Legs did not disagree as he got prepared to leave.


    The next moment, he did the thing.

 Chapter 166 Blades Kill List

    A week ago¡­


    Unknown to many, hidden at the deepest depths of the Northern Continent where it was coldest and darkest was a kingdom, an undead kingdom.


    Thud!


    After barely escaping by the skin of his teeth, the trillions of cells that formed Daemon''s gic make-up rapidly fled towards hisir.


    At the speed of light, it only took them a few seconds to arrive.


    On the way, some of the cells already started merging back together to form a whole as they formed a ck blob which finallynded on this kingdom.


    As soon as this ck blobnded, all the other trillions of cells crazily started converging towards it as the ck blob started turning more ethereal.


    After a few seconds, the Skull Necromancer''s body was reformed but it was not like the normal. After suffering so much damage to his vitality, the Skull Necromancer was no longerplete, his body was still ck.


    His current form looked like he was made of ink.


    "Ugh¡­" He groaned as he copsed on the ground, coughing a ck fluid.


    Daemonnded close to the throne of his inherited kingdom. At this moment, outside the throne chamber was a massive army of undead skeletons.


    Skeleton warriors, skeleton hunters, skeleton knights and archers, they filled this kingdom inrge numbers as they stood still like zombies waiting for orders.


    The normal skeletons were not the only ones that popted this undead kingdom, there were also skeleton Giants that towered high above the others, and also undead skeletons of Ancient beasts that roamed Darvis.


    The mightiest was the undead skeleton of a massive Ancient Dragon.


    Unlike the others though and like most of the undead skeletons of the Ancient Beasts, the undead Dragon was inactive. Since there was no master powerful enough to rouse and ride it yet, it hibernated.


    Daemon coughed the ck fluid again as he felt too weak to stand up.


    With all his remaining strength, he muttered an incantation in Ancient Darvis. The next moment, one of the skeleton Giants responded and walked towards him.


    This skeleton picked him up before carrying him to the throne where it dropped him on the throne chair.


    As soon as Daemon sat on the throne chair, he felt his vitality returning.


    "Ahh¡­" He groaned as he rxed himself on the chair.


    The recovery properties of the throne chair slowly worked on him, Daemon closed his eyes as he let himself recover.


    During his travels for decades all over Darvis, apart from amassing on a myriad abilities, he also encountered and gained inheritances.


    When he sold his soul to be a Necromancer, that was not all, he also gained this undead kingdom that belonged to an Ancient Necromancer.


    Seated on the throne, in no time, Daemon zoned off to hibernation.


    ¡­


    A weekter¡­


    Bzzz!


    The space shifted as a mechanical leg stepped through it into the undead kingdom. The mechanical leg alone exposed the owner, Daemon opened his eyes.


    After a week, though his body was still ck, he already recovered a lot.


    His green glowing eyes flickered as he calmly looked at the intruder that was cloth in ck with a ck hood.


    "Norman, what brings you here?"


    "You will call me the Almighty Clown!"


    "¡­"


    Daemon kept silent as he looked at this old friend of his.


    The next moment, Clown eruptedughing. "Hahaha¡­"


    Daemon looked at this psycho with a poker look on his ck face, then the next moment he chuckled. "You''re getting crazier as the years pass".


    "You''re damn right Daemon". Clownughed.


    Clown walked down the throne as he grabbed a few skeleton warriors before heaping them together, forming a makeshift chair for himself.


    After sitting, he looked at his old friend then he chuckled.


    "Seeing you in this state alone is so funny".


    "You were f*cking thrashed!"


    "I would pay to see that, I really would".


    Daemon calmly looked back at him. "Not thrashed, I just underestimated them".


    "You can say that, but there''s no doubt that you lost".


    This sentence made Daemon grin for the first time since he was injured. "You can say I lost the battle, but I definitely won the war".


    "What do you mean?"


    "That kid, the Pugilist, he''s the most horrifying Grade D warrior that I ever met, I never knew such power was possible for a Grade D warrior".


    "The despair of fighting against him taught me a lot of things".


    "It opened my eyes to possibilities that I didn''t know was there before".


    "During my escape, I had an epiphany".


    Clown''s eyes narrowed. "Do you mean¡­?"


    "Yes". Daemon nodded as a crazy look came over his ck face. "The order of chaos is really the best, your Titan attacks in the desert bred the anomaly called de and the anomaly called de pushed me to now break my limits".


    "All these were only possible through the chaos that you caused".


    His eyes shone fervently. "The order of chaos is god itself".


    "If nothing goes wrong, I will recover before 6 months and in a year, I will be the only ever 2nd Grade C Necromancer to grace Darvis".


    "¡­"


    Clown for a long time watched as he overtook his old friend who remained stagnated in the Grade D realm, he never expected to see him fulfil his dream now. He patted him. "I''m happy for you blood".


    The next moment, he stood up. "I didn''t juste tough at your misfortune though, I came to tell you about our ns".


    "Our ns have elerated, chaos needs to take precedence faster".


    Daemon nodded. "I agree".


    Clown grinned. "Nothing can stop us; our first target is a well-known legend".


    "Hahaha¡­" Heughed.


    "We are unstoppable¡­, hahaha¡­"


    ¡­


    [TOP 10 fastest Grade E advancement rankings!]


    [Congrattions to yer Raining Sword for bing the 9th fastest yer to be a Grade E superhuman in Darvis!]


    The system announcement sent the yer forum into a frenzy.


    >Mashed Potato Lord: Holy order of f*cking f*cks! How did he be a Grade E superhuman so fast, Version 1 just barely started<


    >Sus Lord: This definitely sounds sus, he cheated<


    >Horny Assassin: F*ck off losers! The Sword God is the real deal! The Blue Autumn Team is the f*cking real deal!<


    >Horny Assassin: Caption- You can''t dull my sparkle, forever Legs and the Sword God''s sidekick [cool face emoji] <


    >Horny Assassin: [Screenshot]<


    >Horny Assassin: [Video]- Watch how we of Legs''s Faction do it, we thrashed the f*cking Skill Necromancer and his minions<


    >Your Father: .<


    >Your Wife Cuckolded You: ..<


    >Smoked Zhini: ¡­<


    As soon as other yers watched the video that Horny Assassin just uploaded, a shocked silence reigned in the forum as for a few seconds, the forum seemed to have died with some yers sending only dots and ellipses.


    The next moment, it exploded.


    >Donut Lord: Damn, this looks so sick! Damn, I''m envious, I want to be part of the Legs Faction too, this is so biased<


    >Cake Lover: Damn, I want to join the Blue Mist Guild, they even get to go to the headquarters of the Hunter Union, that''s so not fair<


    >Sus Lord: No wonder the Sword God became a Grade E superhuman so fast even ahead of beta yers<


    >Sus Lord: Damn, I just discovered something, I think Legs is the main character of Version 1, he is the real deal<


    Once the rumor started, it spread.


    Raining Sword''s achievement was just that ridiculous. Despite not ying in the beta testing, bing a Grade E superhuman so fast was crazy.


    While all these happened and the Blue Autumn team had the time of their lives in the headquarters, locked inside his room, de picked a diary that he just bought as with a pen in his hand, he scribbled.


    >My Kill List:<


    >Clown<


    >ck Master Einstein<


    >The Skull Necromancer<


    >Anyone rted to Max and Maggie<

 Chapter 167 Akelas Conquest Plan

    The nearest Wolf territory that Rogue 1 took Ak to was a big one.


    Conan''s Wolf territory was a massive wolf territory settling in the Steep Hills whose leader was Conan, a dangerous Shadow Wolf that was feared widely.


    The wolves in Conan''s territory were more than a thousand, making him the overlord of all the wolves in a region of kilometers around the Steep Hills.


    During the previous Great Wolf War, as an ambush predator, Conan was able to attack the previous overlord of the Steep Hills, the Fire Wolf Gorgon, ending his long reign and dering himself the new Lord of the Steep Hills.


    Since thest Great war ended years ago, he remained the alpha of the Steep Hills who ruled mostly through fear and intimidation.


    No other wolf dared to challenge his territory, but that day, Ak birth a new ambition to dethrone this Shadow Wolf as the lord of the Steep Hills.


    For all that Legs his master had done for him, bing the alpha of a thousand wolves was the best way Ak could think of to repay him.


    Despite objection from Bone, on arriving at Conan''s territory, Ak made a decision to go inside alongside the other wolves in his pack.


    The months that Ak already spent as Legs''s contracted beast were not in vain, despite not making it obvious, he was smart and could learn.


    Having seen Legs lecturing Christensen on various asions, Ak was able to learn some basics. And one of the things that he learned that could be put to use at this moment was knowing your enemy.


    Like Legs always emphasized, a good Summoner must know his opponent.


    For Ak, a good alpha must know his rivals.


    Infiltrating Conan''s territory was easy since they were also Wolves. Managing a territory containing over a thousand wolves was not easy.


    With their entry, Ak became exposed to new surroundings.


    Conan was merciless and cunning, but he was also organized.


    Conan''s wolves were divided into packs ording to what they were best at. There were hunter wolf packs, scout wolf packs, and the elite wolf packs.


    Within the 3 days that they spent in Conan''s territory, Ak saw the elite wolf packs in action twice. Containing the strongest wolves in Conan''s territory, they were powerful, brutal, and ruthless.


    They were Conan''s personal war wolves.


    During his reign, not satisfied with the wolves and territory that he got after killing Gorgon, Conan regrly went for expansion raids where he ughtered other wolves, taking their survivors and their territory.


    Due to Conan''s expansion raids, his wolves were already close to the 1,500 mark, once he crossed this mark, his notoriety would increase even further.


    Due to his tyranny in the past few years, apart from inducing a lot of fear in all surrounding wolves, he also induced resentment in them.


    This became the catalyst that Ak decided to work with.


    Though he didn''t act like it, Ak remembered everything that Rogue 1 told him. ording to Rogue 1, during wolf wars, the champion Wolves that kill other champions and end up winning the war are eligible to be territory rulers.


    ''The first step to overthrowing Conan is starting a war''.


    As soon as Ak arrived at this conclusion, he acted on it.


    Apart from Conan, there were other Grade D Wolves in the Steep Hills who led wolf packs who were not under Conan''s leadership.


    Since Conan preyed on these wolves, they already hated the Shadow Wolf, these were the allies that Ak sought for help to start a war.


    For a week, Ak kept on seeking allies. After disying his incredible strength to the wolves, Ak managed to win some of them over.


    In under a week, he managed to attract 200 wolves under his banner.


    Ak needed just one more wolf pack to kickstart his war.


    ¡­


    ? Whoosh!


    A Mutant Horse rapidly sprinted through the slippery hills as fast as its legs could carry it as it kept on making turns and maneuvers to lose its pursuers.


    "Awoo!" "Awoo!"


    The cries of wolves reverberated behind it, spooking this Mutant Horse.


    The leader of this hunting wolf pack was a ck Direwolf. With his control over the earth element, he continually manipted the slope and hill in his favor as the Mutant Horse was prevented from running at full speed.


    Apart from hindering the horse, he also directed the wolves.


    Under his clever leadership, the wolves upied strategic positions were they slowly and patiently directed the Mutant Horse into a dead end.


    Noticing the dead end, the Mutant Horse panicked.


    The Horse neighed loudly as it kicked with its powerful legs at the nearest wolf that was behind it. The kick connected, injuring the wolf but before the Horse could recover from the kick, above it, another Direwolf pounced down.


    Crunch!


    One deadly bite to the neck and the Mutant Horse was left whimpering.


    2 Wolves with frost powers froze its legs, ending its escape journey as the other wolves rounded it up and finally brought an end to its life.


    Without hesitation, the wolves started feasting on its flesh.


    They barely started eating before the ck Direwolf, their alpha raised its head and looked up. On looking, its nerves tightened as it saw arge gathering of wolves already surrounding the hills, they were cornered.


    On noticing it, all the wolves in his pack growled.


    "Awoo!"


    The leader of these wolves announced his presence with a roar.


    Even without his roar, Ak''s unique leadership presence already gave up his identity as he stared majestically down at this wolf pack.


    "I don''t want to kill you". Akmunicated with them.


    "I am simply fighting for justice to free you and others from the torture of a tyrant, I am here to liberate all the wolves of the Steep Hills".


    "Join my cause to kill Conan and wee a golden age to the Steep Hills".


    "An age where Wolves can live in power and prosperity again".


    The Direwolf stomped its right leg on the ground as he looked up at Ak. "Can you kill Conan in a one-on-one battle?"


    Ak stared down at the Direwolf, then he confidently answered. "Yes".


    The Direwolf growled. "Prove it".


    Ak raised his head. "A Vrka Yuddha it is then".


    Without hesitation, he jumped down from the hill top where he stood.


    All the wolves in the ck Direwolf''s pack rapidly retreated, leaving a battlefield big enough for these 2 powerful wolves to fight a Vrka Yuddha.


    As soon as Aknded, an intense battle started.


    The battle was intense but it didn''tst long.


    After fighting Vrka Yuddhas constantly for the past 1 week and some days, Ak''s battle experience and skills already improved incredibly.


    He needed only 3 minutes to dispatch this massive ck Direwolf.


    With one leg on his chest, Ak red down at him.


    "Join my cause to kill and overthrow Conan".


    "You have a Wolf''s pride, give your pubs something to be proud of and remember you for".


    "Leave a legacy for yourself that you will be proud of in death".


    Ak looked at the wolves surrounding him that made this Direwolf''s pack. "Give your wolves a worthy reason to give their lives for".


    The ck Direwolf finally stood up then it bowed slightly.


    "Take me into your army".


    "I will be your sword and shield".


    Ak stood tall as the violet sky illuminated his white fur.

    Bzzz!


    As soon as Legs jumped through the rainbow bridge, his luck today seemed to be wobbly as he saw himself in the midst of a Wolf pack.


    Christensen yelped in shock as he saw the pack of wolves.


    Not exactly a wolf pack, Legs felt goosebumps as he looked at these wolves. For some reason, he didn''t feel like he was looking at a wolf pack, he rather felt like he was looking at an elite unit of scout wolves.


    The Wolves were that organized.


    Instantly after he arrived, the wolves detected his presence.


    Legs chuckled awkwardly as he waved at them. "Hi¡­, it seems I lost my way, I''ll just take this way and leave, I didn''t see anything".


    "Roar!"


    The leader of the Wolves roared as instantly, the other Wolves understood hismand as without hesitation, they started surrounding these 2 humans.


    Due to his honest intentions of looking for his seemingly lost wolf, Legs didn''t seek Predator''s assistance this time and simply rather opened the rainbow bridge at the direction that his telepathic connection with Ak directed him to.


    He also directed Christensen not to bring Leo along for some weird reason.


    He never expected to drop in the middle of a pack of wild wolves.


    "F*ck!". Legs cursed as he moved instantly.


    "Run!"


    Christensen dared not hesitate as he instinctively obeyed his master''s orders.


    -----


    Passive ability has been triggered: Call of the Wild


    Passive ability has been triggered: Jungle Cruise


    ----


    Whoosh!


    The Wolves barely moved before Legs moved.


    Legs allowed Christensen to move before him so with him now at the back, he became the easiest target for the wolves.


    One of the faster Wind Wolves pounced on him but having read its intentions already, Legs bent his body to an impossible angle as using the momentum of hitting his body against the Wolf, he slid under it.


    All the Wolves that surrounded him were Grade E beasts.


    Though to a Summoner like him without any of his contracted beasts, they were still deadly, they were nowhere as deadly to him like before. At this moment, he was a Grade D Summoner with far superior attributes.


    Legs glided through the Wolves like he was a leaf.


    Christensen intended to pull out his G-96 Pistols but Legs stopped him.


    "Stay your hand, I feel that something is wrong though I''m not sure".


    With his better dexterity, Legs floated through the tiny holes in their formations like a leaf. In the end, these Wolves seemed to be really scouts, none of them were reallybat Wolves with a lot of battle experience.


    Having learned to fight invisible enemies alongside Leo during his training already, Christensen performed admirably as he also evaded the wolves.


    Legs nearly wriggled his way through them all without drawing his sword until he finally met their leader, the massive Wind Wolf pounced on him.


    Bam!


    Legs could not dodge as the Wolf''s mighty ws mmed against his arms that he used to block, injuring him.


    As soon as blood flowed, Legs no longer dared underestimate them.


    He had no intentions of killing them yet though, this was a strange situation in the beast ne and he wanted to get to the bottom of what was happening.


    As he fell down injured, Legs finally made his real move.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    You have activated active ability: Beast Tamer


    ----


    Legs''s eyes gleamed. "Number 1 rule when fighting beasts that are weaker than you but are troublesome if you don''t want to kill them, tame their leader. When you tame their leader, you tame them all".


    Having gotten used to his master starting lecture sessions randomly, Christensen was all ears as he dutifully took note of the new lesson.


    "Awoo!" The massive Wind Wolf roared as it pounced on Legs.


    Not this time though, having activated his Combat Master ability already, Legs''s power increased as through a brief moment ofbat genius, he briefly overpowered the Wolf by using its momentum against it.


    Bam!


    Legs mmed the Wind Wolf against the ground.


    "Yeah, master, get him!" Christensen cheered as he continued dodging.


    With the Wolf on the ground, as it struggled, Legs ced his right hand on its head and waited. His virtual interface lit up the next moment.


    -----


    You have activated Active Ability: Beast Tamer


    Beast Taming sess rate: Low

    ----


    "Tell them to stop!" Legs ordered instantly.


    "Roar!"


    The Wind Wolf roared at the others as they obeyed and all stopped fighting. They were slightly hesitant, so this Wolf had to howl at them some more before they becamepletely docile before these 2 humans.


    Legs squatted beside it and patted its soft fur.


    "Hey buddy, tell me what''s happening".


    "Awoo!"


    Since this was not his contracted beast, it took some time and gestures before Legs could understand what the beast was saying since this was not his contracted beast and he could notmunicate telepathically with it.


    Legs''s eyes widened after the exnation.


    "What?" Christensen asked curiously.


    Legs looked around in confusion. "A Wind Wolf called Ak challenged Conan, the overlord of the Steep Hills to a Wolf war?"


    He scratched his head. "The f*ck has Ak been up to recently?"


    Suddenly feeling a light of epiphany light in his head, Legs turned to look at the direction where the scout wolves who apparently belonged to Conan scouted. His eyes widened as he saw hundreds of wolves sprinting across.


    Dust rose from the ground as the wolves moved.


    Legs''s mouth opened wide. "Is¡­, Ak leading that horde?"


    "¡­"


    Christensen looked at his master speechlessly.


    ¡­


    A few hundred meters from the main hill of the Steep Hills which was Conan''s territory, the 250+ wolves that made up Ak''s army camped behind a massive rock as they discussed their war n for thest time.


    Behind this rock was the corpse of other wolves, Conan''s scouts which they encountered. They didn''t hesitate to ughter their enemies.


    Ak stood on top a smaller rock and addressed the wolves.


    "Our war n to remove the tyrant is simple, remember that we don''t have the numbers of our opponents".


    "A tyrant''s rule always breed wolves who are brave enough to revolt".


    "We have friends inside Conan''s territories".


    "Some of his wolves are already his greatest enemies without his knowledge, we will take advantage of his ignorance and arrogance".


    "We will invade through the narrow tunnel".


    "We will invade fast and strike hard".


    "Remember, we''ll avoid a head-on battle, our main target is Conan".


    "Once we corner him, I''ll force him into a Vrka Yuddha".


    "The end oue is evident, I will kill the tyrant and liberate all wolves of the Steep Hills".


    "Follow me to war to liberate ourselves from a tyrant!"


    "Follow me to the war of freedom!"


    "Follow me to the war of truth!"


    "Awoo!" "Awoo!" "Awooo!"


    As the hundreds of wolves howled, their loud howls forming a crazy cacophony in the air, Ak basked in all their energy as his blood started burning hotter. He could already feel the drums of war beating.


    "To war!"


    Ak roared as he led the charge to the enemies.

 Chapter 169 The Wolf War [1]

    Today was just like any other day in Conan''s Wolf territory.


    Activities went on like usual as soon as the golden rays of the sun illuminated the expansive hills. Under the leadership of their Wolf Commanders, the scout wolf packs arranged themselves into squads before going outside the territory.


    Apart from Conan''s penchant for bullying and preying on weaker wolf packs, his territory also faced threats that needed the scouts'' abilities.


    Conan''s Wolf territory was not the only wolf territory in the region.


    Though the others were far, there were other Wolf territories and they were all more or less hostile towards each other. The scouts were in charge of looking out in case another big Wolf pack intended to invade their territory.


    Apart from other Wolves, this was the beast ne, not the Wolf ne.


    Wolves were far from the apex predators of the beast ne.


    In the chaotic world of this ne, there were lots of dangerous predators and some who also allied into packs like the wolves. These beast packs also served as a great threat to Conan''s territory and hence the scout wolf packs.


    As for the hunter wolf packs, they served as the main hunters of Conan''s territory. They were in charge of providing food to all wolves in the territory.


    The Elite wolf packs though was Conan''s baby.


    These fierce pack of wolves that werepletely loyal to him were his favorites, and like usual, he ignored the other packs and gave attention to them.


    That morning, Conan came out of his cave and stood on top a massive rock.


    From there, he watched the pack of elite wolves that were before him as his ck fur gleamed under the illumination of the golden sun.


    Conan was a massive Shadow Wolf with ck fur and a long sensitive nose. He had 2 set of teeth that were longer than the others, poking out of his dangerous maws that housed his teeth like tusks.


    Conan addressed the elite wolf packs from on top the rock.


    He howled loudly first, causing the blood of all the wolves to start burning hot. "We are the overlords of the Steep Hills!"


    "We are the Conquerors!"


    "I am the Conqueror!"


    "Every wolf in the Steep Hills should be under me".


    "Go out there and spread the tyranny of my power again, kill to instill fear, kill to instill respect, kill because that''s what conquerors do".


    "Let my aura follow you".


    All the elite wolves started howling loudly after his little speech as the next moment, they all turned and started sprinting outside the territory.


    Right before they entered the pathway to leave the territory, a massive White Wolf separated from the group without the knowledge of the others.


    As soon as they left, this White Wolf stealthily returned.


    A few minutester, she met other wolves inside a cave in the territory who seemed to all be waiting for her as they bowed on seeing her.


    "Nymeria".


    She stood proudly and acknowledged their greetings.


    Unlike the other wolves, despite being bigger than them, she didn''t look as menacing. She was a rare Wolf with light affinity for healing, her biggest identity though was that she was Conan''s younger sister.


    During thest Great Wolf War, it was due to her well-timed healing that enabled Conan to bring down the powerful Fire Wolf, Gorgon.


    She never expected her brother to be a tyrant after winning the war.


    Now, she spearheaded the band of traitor wolves who were supporting Ak''s cause. From the little that she interacted with the Wind Wolf, she was positive that Ak would be a far better ruler of the Steep Hills than her brother.


    Her eyes gleamed with a fiery determination the next moment.


    "Let''s start the war".


    "Follow me to the narrow tunnel".


    A few minutester, they arrived at a tunnel whose entrance was blocked by a boulder. Under her leadership, 6 wolves worked together to push the boulder aside, exposing the tunnel pathway.


    The next moment, Nymeria closed her eyes and focused as her light energy converged to form a rainbow light that she shot into the air like fireworks.


    ¡­


    Outside Conan''s territory, as the scout wolf packs sprinted to go do their jobs, they suddenly saw the rainbow fireworks illuminating the skies.


    "For Nymeria!" A massive scout Blue Wolf suddenly roared.


    "For Freedom!" The other wolves that supported his cause also roared.


    Before the other wolves could understand what was going on, they were already attacked as these scout wolves aggressively bit and wed at them.


    While arge batch of the scout wolves fought the others, the massive blue scout Wolf that roared first led 4 scout wolves away from the group.


    After sprinting towards a massive rock, he finally saw the dust rising from the distance. Ak''s army took no time to arrive before them.


    "Alpha Ak, this way!"


    The Blue Wolf led the way without hesitation.


    A few minutester, they arrived before the narrow tunnel without alerting the loyal wolves in Conan''s territory. As the leader of this operation, Ak did not hesitate as he charged into the tunnel first.


    Thud! Thud!


    The other wolves charged after him as the ground seemed to vibrate.


    After 3 minutes, Ak finally saw the end of the tunnel. As soon as he charged out of the tunnel, he saw his allies and without even greeting them first, he charged ahead as they all followed after him.


    "Awoo!" "Awoo!"


    The loud howls of wolves chanting battle cries reverberated.


    With his Wind Envoy passive ability and his Speed Demon active ability, Ak was like the wind itself as he charged through Conan''s territory with incredible speed.


    Shocked at the sudden intrusion, the other wolves finally understood what was happening as without hesitation, they pounced on them but Ak was prepared for this as he bared his teeth at these wolves.


    "Roar!"


    Ak roared as he pounced on the nearest wolf.


    With his Wind ws and Bite Force ability, they stood no chance before him, he tore them to piecespletely but he didn''t focus on them.


    Rogue 1, 2, and 3 stuck behind their alpha like a glue, these 3 Direwolves were already sworn to Ak for life.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Rogue 1 smashed through the wolves with his Ice Elemental abilities, mostly freezing them alongside the others to reduce their movement speed.


    Bone was responsible for the killing as with his metal affinity, metal shot from the earth in spear forms as they ruthlessly impaled enemy wolves, ending their lives even as the remaining 2 Rogue wolves also did their part.


    Alongside these wolves, Nymeria and other Grade D Wolves that supported her cause charged after her as they closely followed behind Ak.


    With these wolves supporting him, Ak''s path was smooth as he kept on charging towards thergest rock where Conan lived.


    Themotion of this battle did not escape the notice of the Alpha Wolf here, once Conan noticed it, he called all his loyal subordinates to war.


    "AWOO!!!"


    His howl reverberated through this territory like thunder as all the wolves responded to his summons, they all charged out of their holes.


    Ak''s eyes constricted as the full force of 1,500 wolves were unleashed upon him and his allies as the wolves charged towards them.


    Ak was worried but he was not intimidated, his blood boiled hotter.


    "Roar!"


    With a roar, he continued leading the charge to Conan.


    As the Wolf War raged, this was when Legs finally arrived at this territory.

 Chapter 170 The Wolf War [2]

    One look was all it took for Legs to recognize Ak.


    His eyes widened in shock. "The f*ck!"


    Sinceing under the tutorship of his master, Christensen was no longer a green horn, he had experienced a lot of dangerous situations and had seen a lot of beasts but so many wolves gathered in one ce, this was a first.


    Unlike humans, Wolves were not suchplicatedbatants.


    Their main weapons were always their dangerous teeth and their ws. Using these 2 lethal weapons, the wolves of both sides shed as blood soon started flowing through this territory inrge quantities.


    The battle was fierce and fast-paced.


    Despite hearing the exnation from the Wind Wolf that he tamed already, Legs still couldn''t wrap his head around it. Seeing it now though, he had no choice but to believe Ak''s crazy ambition.


    He turned to face his student. "Ak intends to be a Wolf Lord".


    "¡­"


    Christensen didn''t know what to reply with.


    Legs pped his shoulders. "We need to help him".


    Without hesitation, Legs focused in his mind as the telepathic connection between him and Ak grew. Hemunicated his thoughts to Ak and the wolf did not keep him waiting, he responded instantly.


    Ak''s words were direct. "Master, I''m sorry for not telling you beforehand".


    "Of course, I can do with your help but not direct help".


    "The wolves will not acknowledge me if they know that a human helped me win the war, help me in indirect ways".


    "All I want is to force Conan into a Vrka Yuddha".


    "Once he epts, you can''t help me then, I must fight him alone".


    That was all that Legs needed.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Bran flew out through the rainbow bridge as he calmly looked down at the battlefield. When Predator saw the war, his eyes constricted in unquenchable joy as his battle hormones became extra excited.


    As soon as his master made his move, Christensen also did.


    Leo arrived with a striking chilliness apanying him.


    ¡­


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Wolf War continued raging aggressively.


    It didn''t take long before the winning side became evident though. No matter how noble Ak''s motives were, in the end, the side with the most wolves had a higher chance of emerging out of this war victorious.


    Conan''s wolves were winning.


    As soon as Nymeria saw this, she didn''t need Ak''s orders first, she activated the next phase of their raid n.


    From the beginning, they knew that their numbers held no candle to Conan''s army and was why they got a lot of contingency ns ahead of time.


    Nymeria gathered her light energy again and shot another rainbow-colored beacon into the air, this time, to alert someone at another part of the Steep Hills.


    Not too far away from here, Pabu the Grizzly Bear got the signal.


    As soon as he saw the signal, Pabu raised his massive butt from the ground as he focused ahead where the herd of Bisons foraged.


    He grinned then he growled, then he pounced at them and roared.


    "Roar!!!"


    Hearing Pabu''s mighty roar, the Bison herd was startled.


    Without hesitation, intimidated by the mighty Grizzly Bear, the hundreds of massive Bisons that formed this herd dared not stay still as they all turned and started charging in the only direction that their heads first went to.


    They could hear the sound of shes from ahead, but a distant threat did not deter them as much as the present threat of the mighty Pabu.


    It took the Bisons only a few seconds before they arrived at Conan''s territory, without stopping, these scared Bisons stampeded their way through the wolves.


    With the arrival of the Bisons, the war turned chaotic.


    In the chaos, the side with lesser numbers thrived as Ak''s journey to Conan''s rock became faster. This was not all though as just a few secondster, Pabu the mighty Grizzly Bear arrived on the battlefield.


    He announced his arrival with a roar.


    "Pabu!!!" He gave his signature shout.


    Then without hesitation, this massive Bear that was far bigger than all the wolves started mming his way through them like they were not there.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Each movement from him killed a wolf, he was that efficient.


    Pabu''s example gave a certain ally an idea on how to help.

    ----


    As soon as Legs fused with Bran, he flew into the skies in search of more carriers of chaos. A few secondster, through Bran''s incredible vision, he saw a herd of Elks also foraging at a field not too far from here.


    In Dominator, Elks were dangerous since like every other beast, they could make use of super energy but Legs was definitely not afraid of them.


    He swooped down from the skies as gracefully as any bird of prey.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Iron Feathers


    ----


    The Iron Feathers descended like arrows, injuring dozens of Elks as they tried to retaliate but due to Legs''s speed and his air advantage, they could not touch him as he kept on harassing them.


    After much harassment, their leader finally made the decision to escape. He tried to escape opposite the war but Legs blocked him.


    With no choice, the Elks escaped towards the location of the Wolf War.


    Unlike Bisons, Elks were even more lethal carriers of chaos.


    With their super-hard horns, these Elks stampeded into the battlefield as even more wolves died to them. This was also when Predator and Leo made their debut into the battle as Canon''s wolves started being hammered.


    In just a few minutes, the winning side seemed to have switched.


    This was when Ak made his official challenge as he climbed Conan''s rock. "Conan, your wolves are losing".


    "They are dying for a lost cause".


    "They are dying for a coward like you".


    "Come out let''s fight to end this once and for all".


    Conanpletely ignored Ak''s words.


    Despite the fact that every minute, more of his wolves died, he refused to acknowledge the Wind Wolf''s words as he stayed hiding inside his cave in the rock while his wolves fought on his behalf.


    Over time, seeing his attitude, more wolves started deserting his side as they joined Ak''s entourage, tilting the victory more out of his reach.


    Despite all this, Conan remained hiding.


    Conan was as shameless as Nymeria pointed out before the war started, and though he hated it, Ak had no choice but to do as she suggested now.


    He turned his eyes to re at the Grey Wolf that led the wolves protecting the cave, this was Jezra, Conan''s Alpha pair.


    Well-known for her deviousness, she loved torturing beasts, even wolves for pleasure and was hated by the wolves even more than they hated Conan.


    Despite her horrible attitude, one truth was that Conan loved the Wolf.


    Ak ground his teeth together as he exploded with speed towards her.


    Boom!


    Ak''s sh with the massive Grey Wolf was brief but eye-catching, using his superior speed and battle experience, he didn''t toy with his opponent but hepletely vited her for 2 minutes before bringing an end to her life.


    "Awoo!" "Awoo!"


    The wolves behind Ak howled in celebration of his feat.


    As they celebrated, this was when an ambush came.


    Whoosh!


    The shadow moved so fast that none of the Wolves was able to react on time, Conan arrived at a speed that far eclipsed Ak''s. The Wind Wolf was unable to react as he dug his teeth into his exposed neck.


    Instantly after he attacked, Nymeria and Bone reacted.


    Bone unleashed dozens of metals instantly that threatened to dig into the Shadow Wolf''s body, forcing the Wolf to back off as Ak fell down weakly.


    A white light soon engulfed his body though as Nymeria started healing him.


    "Cowards!" Conan roared.


    "I thought this was a Vrka Yuddha, why do you interfere to save him?"


    Nymeria turned to re at her brother. "How far you have fallen".


    "Sneak attacks are forbidden in Vrka Yuddhas".


    This impulsive act from Conan already caused all the Wolves to stop fighting as their attention was drawn towards the rock where both contesting Alphas were.


    With Conan out, all the requirements for a Vrka Yuddha were met.


    In 2 minutes, Nymeria healed Ak as he stood up.


    "I will forgive the ambush".


    "I will not forgive you for Jezra''s death!" Conan growled.


    Ak grinned. "So, do you ept the Vrka Yuddha?"

 Chapter 171 Vrka Yuddha; A Battle Of Wolf Champions!

    "So, do you ept the Vrka Yuddha?" Ak red at the Shadow Wolf.


    Conan ignored the massive Wind Wolf as he looked around him, he looked at the Grey Wolf, his wife Jezra who was now nothing but a cold corpse. Then he looked at all the expectant eyes of the thousand wolves watching them.


    He knew that Ak already seeded, this Wind Wolf drove him into a tight spot. If he didn''t ept the challenge, he would lose respect from all his wolves.


    Though he didn''t want to ept it, he knew that arge number of these wolves secretly cheered for him to lose and be killed.


    He closed his eyes. ''I live to spite haters!"


    As soon as he motivated himself, he opened his eyes which now glowed purple with mysterious shadows moving through them like clouds.


    He looked at Ak. "You are an honorable Wolf, triggering an honest Vrka Yuddha to make yourself the Alpha but your honor will kill you".


    "In the beast ne, there is no ce for wolves with honor".


    "Here, it''s either you''re ruthless and kill or be killed".


    "Na?ve Wolf, I''ll teach you that in this Vrka Yuddha".


    The next moment, Conan stood tall as he turned to face the thousand expectant wolf eyes that focused on them.


    Then he howled loudly. "I ept the challenge!"


    -----


    [Ak has triggered a Wolf Mission: Wolf Conqueror!]


    [Mission Details: Ak, your contracted beast has triggered a sacred Vrka Yuddha to be the Wolf Alpha of arge wolf territory. If he survives, as his master, your renown and power will increase.]


    [Mission Rewards: Title- Master of Ak, the Wolf Conqueror!]


    ----


    From the skies still fused with Bran, on seeing this sudden interface notification, Legs was surprised as he looked at this challenge with renewed enthusiasm. He cheered his beast on. "Ak, you have to win".


    Ak grinned. "Finally".


    Instantly, Nymeria and all the other wolves deserted the rock, leaving the 2 challengers and giving them enough space to fight to the death.


    Conan grinned. "How do you intend to die?"


    "By a sneak attack or by a head-on overwhelming attack?"


    "I¡­"


    Ak barely spoke before ck shadows appeared beside him.


    Bzzz!


    Conan was cunning, this was something that Ak already heard from Nymeria and confirmed after the ambush that almost killed him.


    He would not fall for the same trick twice.


    Instantly after Conan used his Shadow Blink ability, Ak''s eyes glowed as without hesitation, he activated his Nature Call ability.


    "Awoo!"


    With Ak''s howl came a mighty raging hurricane.


    Conan arrived behind his opponent to be greeted with a dangerous hurricane. Despite the short time that he was exposed to it, the sharp wind already cut into his hide as blood flowed.


    Defense was not exactly a Shadow Wolf''s forte, their defense was even weaker than Wind Wolves and was why Conan was an ambush predator.


    Instantly after the sharp wind started cutting into his hide, Conan activated another ability as his ck fur was coated by a shifting cloud of shadow energy.


    With an instant burst of speed, he charged out of the shadows.


    In the same rapid manner that he charged out, he also halted after escaping the range of the hurricane as he turned with his eyes turning darker.


    "Awoo!"


    With this howl from the Shadow Wolf, 3 Giant Shadow Spears appeared from 3 sides surrounding Ak as they ruthlessly plunged at this Wind Wolf.


    This was when Ak finally moved.


    His sleek body seemed to turn sleeker for a brief moment and in these moments, Ak already activated his Speed Demon active ability, the next moment, he exploded with speed towards Conan like a moving train.


    This time, Conan could not dodge.


    Boom!


    Ak shed against the mighty Shadow Wolf as he bared his teeth and ws, instantly activating both his Wind ws and Bite Force active abilities.


    Crunch!


    The sound of Ak''s teeth sinking into his opponent''s hide was sickening, but Conan was not one to go down without a fight.


    It was after biting that Ak noticed the thick gathering of shadow that now coated the Shadow Wolf''s hide.


    Activating his only 2 defense abilities, Conan did not only increase the toughness of his hide but also turned it into a shadow quagmire that now trapped Ak after his bite.


    After trapping Ak, he finally started his counterattack.


    Conan growled. "Komodo Teeth!"


    Instantly, this Shadow Wolf''s teeth became coated with a corrosive energy as he bit into Ak''s leg as a sizzling sound reverberated the next moment.


    As his leg was corroded, Ak roared in pain.


    Ak struggled fiercely to free himself from the shadow quagmire.


    In the end, after struggling to no avail, he had no choice but to gather his energy and activate another Nature Call. As the hurricane arrived, Conan used his Shadow Blink ability again as he disappeared from the danger area.


    Outside the hurricane''s area, he attacked again this time with his specialty.


    The next moment, Conan''s 2 teeth that were bigger than the others, making them seem like tusks were suddenlyunched out of his mouth like daggers.


    Ak tried to swat at them with his ws but he was not fast enough.


    The 2 deadly teeth empowered by corrosion energy dug into his hide close to his neck as Ak started bleeding even more from the damage.


    The Wind Wolf thrashed about, trying to no avail to get the 2 corrosive teeth out of his body that were eating deeper into his neck by the second.


    His predicament and suddenck of concentration on his real enemy proved deadly, with Ak focusing on the teeth and trying to remove them, Conan finally made use of his deadliest ability, his specialty.


    This massive Shadow Wolf growled. "Shadow Assassination!"


    Bzzz!


    Conan disappeared like he used his Shadow Blink ability.


    Ak noticed it instantly as soon as his enemy disappeared and, in his panic, he turned around in a bid to bite at his enemy as soon as he appeared.


    This time, Conan didn''t appear behind him though.


    As soon as Ak turned, his shadow suddenly seemed to grow a will of its own. A shadow was supposed to be a loyal neutralpanion that followed an individual throughout its life, but today, Ak''s shadow betrayed him.


    Ak did not expect it as his own shadow tackled him to the ground before sinking its deadly teeth into his neck as he growled in pain.


    Despite his struggles to free himself from the death grip of the shadow, the shadow bit deeper and rougher, overpowering him. Blood flowed like a fountain.


    This was a deadly ability from Conan that had enabled him to kill countless Wolf Alphas to keep his territory since killing Gorgon, the Fire Wolf, none of his enemies were ever able to predict the move.


    Once they saw it, they died.


    Ak started feeling his vitality draining out of his body.


    He felt his master''s intentions to save him but Ak was stubborn.


    ''No''. He growled at his master through their telepathic rtionship.


    With eyes opened wide as blood vessels filled it and his vitality rapidly draining, Ak held firm to his motivation. ''I must make my master proud!''


    Doomed as a Wind Wolf that would not achieve anything before dying uneventfully was his destiny before he encountered Legs. Encountering Legs changed his life, his destiny changed, it made him be something.


    Now, Ak was determined to repay his master''s favor.


    Not even Conan could stop him from repaying the favor.


    "Roar!"


    Ak roared in a bid to gather strength to overpower the shadow but Conan was too powerful, he was unable to overpower the Shadow Wolf.


    "Roar!"


    He kept on roaring in desperation even as his vitality drained.


    With total silence now reigning through this territory, the thousand wolves solemnly watched this Vrka Yuddha without interfering. They could feel Ak''s conviction to win, some of them wanted to help him but they could not.


    "Roar!"


    Ak roared again, unwilling to give in to despair.


    "I cannot lose!"


    "I cannot die!"


    Amid his rampage to save his life, Ak suddenly remembered some words that his master spoke to him. Legs once told him that he didn''t contract him due to his strength or talent, he rather contracted him due to his leadership abilities.


    Ak''s eyes gleamed. "If I can''t do it alone, I''ll use others to do it".


    Ak''s eyes glowed a deep brown color as he focused inside his body, trying to draw a strange power that he believed was there but hadn''t seen yet.


    His belief was so strong that the imagination became reality.


    "Roar!"


    With onest roar, a reaction urred, a resonance. All the wolves in this battlefield that sympathized with Ak felt a resonance as instantly, a white light started extending from their body towards Ak.


    Ak''s eyes glowed brighter as he felt the new vitality and strength that was rapidly surging into his body from an artificial source.


    Conan''s eyes widened in shock from the shadow.


    Legs''s virtual interface also lit up a notification.


    -----


    Congrattions! Your contracted beast has broken a limit!

    "ROAR!!!"


    Ak''s mighty roar reverberated through the Steep Hills like thunder.

 Chapter 172 Akelas Show

    -----


    Congrattions! Your contracted beast has broken a limit!


    Ak has created his 1st specialty ability: Alpha Wolf!


    >Alpha Wolf: When activated, Ak is able to draw power from all ally wolves that are rted to him despite their distance, granting him increased health points, increased endurance, increased defense, increased offense, and a great increase to all his basic attributes<


    >NOTE: When enough power is drawn from enough wolves, Ak has a certain chance of temporarily increasing his power by half a grade<


    [Ak has temporarily be a Grade D+ Wind Wolf!]


    ----


    BOOM!


    The next moment, a massive white energy erupted with Ak at the center as everything surrounding this Wind Wolf was aggressively blown away.


    Conan could not withstand the massive white energy, like a holy light from heaven, this energy purified the shadow, yanking him out of Ak''s shadow as this Shadow Wolf coughed out blood aftering out.


    Ak staggered back to his feet as his eyes continued glowing fiercer.


    This ability of his also considered Leo as an ally wolf as a white light also flew from this Grade D Frost Wolf to energize and empower him.


    Ak''s severe injuries instantly started healing rapidly.


    In just a few seconds, this mighty Wind Wolf was healedpletely. Not just that, Ak also seemed to have increased in size as he now looked more gigantic.


    Ak red at the Shadow Wolf who was also ring back at him in shock and unwillingness as he raised his head up high, then he roared.


    "ROAR!!!"


    Ak''s mighty roar reverberated through the Steep Hills like thunder.


    This was a roar of establishment, a roar establishing the fact that there was another powerhouse of the Steep Hills. A roar introducing Ak, the Wind Wolf to all the beasts of the Steep Hills.


    "Awoo!"


    Conan howled as he used his Shadow Speed ability again.


    This time though, Ak was more than ready for him.


    One stomp with his leg on this rock sent a crack through it as Ak also exploded with speed towards the Shadow Wolf, before Conan could react, his massive ws were already swatting down at him like a fly.


    Boom!


    One swat was all it needed to betroth Conan to the massive rock.


    With a mighty mming sound, Conan was smacked to the rock as he was embedded inside it from the force. Conan whimpered in pain but his pride was too big to admit defeat as he growled and retaliated.


    Conan went all out this time, activating both his Giant Shadow Spears ability and his Shadow Quagmire Defense ability.


    As the Giant Spears flew towards Ak, forcing him to swat at them, Conan also activated both his Komodo Teeth and Shadow Speed abilities.


    Whoosh!


    This time, Ak was unfazed by his speed. Ak decided to teach this wolf the difference between a Grade D Wolf and a Grade D+ Wolf.


    With his sharp ws, Ak grabbed Conan by the head, holding his deadly maws back just a few inches from biting into his head as he roared.


    Then in an iconic disy of power, Ak counter-bit Conan.


    By pressing his opponent''s deadly maws together, Ak roared as he bit into Conan''s head. This Shadow Wolf twisted like a snake from the pain as his opponent''s deadly teeth prated his skull.


    Everything that happened seemed like it came directly out of a script.


    In the blink of an eye, the tides of this battle turned around and Ak was the overwhelming favorite to win heavily dominating Conan.


    With the bite to the skull, Conan was weakened as he lost all hopes of retaliating to win. Ak had no intentions of ending the battle normally though.


    Perhaps, to instill his strength to the new subjects that he would gain and leave a deep impression on them or perhaps to impress his master, but Ak was determined to end this Vrka Yuddha in a bombastic manner.


    As soon as he removed his deadly saber-sharp teeth from Conan''s skull, this Shadow Wolf convulsed as blood flowed out of his brain like a fountain.


    With both his front limbs still grabbing Conan''s head, he activated his Nature Call ability the next moment as the hurricane easily picked Conan into the skies.


    Conan whimpered in pain as the hurricane cut dozens of injuries into his body every second, but this was not how Ak intended to end this battle.


    Ak closed his eyes as his connection to all the wolves sending him power deepened, then the next moment, an aggressive wind energy surrounded him.


    Legs saw his virtual interface lit up another notification.


    -----


    Ak has created his 2nd specialty ability: Laser Del Vento!


    >Laser Del Vento: When activated, an aggressive wind energy is gathered andpressed into aser that deals +500% base damage and an additional +100% cut and burn damage<


    >NOTE: When enough wind energy ispressed, enemy has a high chance of beingcerated and evaporated by the Laser Del Vento<


    ----


    BOOM!


    Stuck in the hurricane, Conan could do nothing as he stared the god of death in the face. He was like a static target to the enormous wind energy shaped in the form of aser that rapidly elerated to tear him apart.


    On making contact with him, Conan''s Quagmire defense could do nothing as this aggressive wind energypletelycerated his body.


    He was torn roughly into a thousand pieces in the air as bloody fragments of his body filled the air but even this was not spared as theser exploded the next moment, dealing even more cut and burn damage.


    Conan''s remains did not survive the onught, they all evaporated into nothing. Conan, the once cunning, ruthless, and deadly Alpha evaporated into nothing, all his previous subordinates could only watch as fear engulfed them.


    This was Ak''s show, and he made sure to make it exciting.


    This was a scene that all the wolves here won''t forget in generations.


    A Wolf Champion killed a Wolf Champion, and a new Wolf Alpha was born.


    Ak was thest Wolf standing on the massive rock, his brown eyes that already returned to normal looked down at the thousand wolves from his elevated point like he was announcing to them who their new alpha was.


    The next moment, Nymeria became the first to bow her head in submission.


    All the other wolves followed her lead and bowed in submission.

    [Remark: A mature and veteran Wolf Champion that knows its stuff and rules a pack of over a thousand wolves.]


    ----


    After just one crazy stunt from Ak, the Wind Wolf became so powerful.


    ''Damn, is this my cue to also start my own crazy stunt?''


    Legs could not help but think as he recalled how epic Ak and Conan''s battle was, the moment kept on ying in his head for the past 2 days.


    And for the past 2 days, though he wanted very much to meet his wolf, after bing the new Alpha, there were a lot of things that needed Ak''s attention.


    Instantly after the oue of the Vrka Yuddha became evident, all the wolves bowed in submission to the new Alpha Wolf of the Steep Hills.


    For the rest of that day, the joyous howls of the wolves kept on reverberating through the Steep Hills as the wolves celebrated their victory and the heralding of a new era to all wolves of the Steep Hills.


    They didn''t know if Ak was going to be a better ruler than Conan, but one thing was sure, and that was that the tyrant Conan was no longer their alpha.


    Amid the celebrations, inside his new cave and throne, Nymeria and the other 18 Grade D wolves stood before their new alpha and addressed him.


    Of course, the emphasis was for Ak to get an Alpha Female.


    In the history of the wolves, there had never been an Alpha who didn''t have an Alpha Female. Once this topic was brought up, Ak was tongue-tied and stunned but a certain wolf made everything easier for him.


    "I know that the Alpha is tired after the intense Vrka Yuddha".


    "If he is willing, I am ready to liberate him from most of his troubles and help him usher the wolves of the Steep Hills into a new prosperous era".


    "If he is willing, I will be his mate".


    "¡­"


    Legs who listened in through his telepathic connection with his beast coughed blood, he was amazed at the boldness of this Wolf.


    He didn''t have to think long before he advised his wolf though.


    A Light Wolf with healing abilities was invaluable to him.


    He gave Ak his sagely advise. ''Nymeria is a beautiful and vigorous Wolf, she will make a goodpanion to you to help you fulfill your dreams''.


    ''She will bear you handsome pubs¡­''


    ''If master wills it, I ept''. Ak was as humble andpliant as ever.


    With a serious look on his white face, Ak looked at the white wolf that also looked back at him. "I ept you as my Alpha Female".


    That day, it was double celebration for the wolves of the Steep Hills.


    For the next 2 days, Ak while organizing the wolves also appointed positions to all 18 Grade D Wolves under hismand. Of course, he gave the positions that were closest to him to Bone and the 3 Rogue brothers.


    After this, he finally left his territory with his wife to meet his master.


    Standing before Legs, Ak forfeited all the pride that came with his new status as he bowed his head and lowered his tail in submission.


    Seeing his behavior, though stunned, Nymeria also reciprocated.


    "Master, I hope I have made you proud".


    Legs smiled as he walked closer to the Wind Wolf and rubbed its fur, he whispered into his ears. "You have done beyond making me proud, 18 Grade D Wolves? You have exceeded all my expectations for you".


    "Roar!"


    Predator roared as he brutishly marched towards the Grade D Wind Wolf before bashing him with his snout, he sniffed Nymeria before turning away.


    This was Predator''s brutish way of congratting his bro for his achievement. Wolves were beasts but at the Grade D realm, apart from developing intelligence, they also developed emotions.


    As Predator walked away, Ak''s eyes turned watery.


    "Thank you, bro".


    "Without you, I never thought I''ll be a Grade D Wolf in this lifetime".


    Predator simply grunted in reply, implying that Ak shouldn''t mention. Legs wanted to whip the Nightmare beast''s head so bad, though he''ll never admit it, Legs knew that Predator felt ttered at being thanked.


    From on top Legs''s shoulders, Bran croaked as he also congratted his big brother for the feat that he achieved.


    Legs already trained his contracted beasts to see each other as brothers, and they saw Brutus and Leo as brothers too.


    Leo also congratted Ak for his feat.


    Christensen grumbled. "When will you be a Wolf Champion yourself?"


    Smack!


    Legs wacked his student on the head. "Don''t ruin the atmosphere".


    By now, Nymeria already understood what happened. As a Grade D Wolf, she knew about humans and contracted beasts already, she turned to look at her husband with aplicated look at her face.


    Ak looked back at her with a slight apologizing expression on his wolf face. The next moment, he turned back to look at his master.


    "Master, meet my Alpha Female, Nymeria".


    Legs went closer and rubbed her fur affectionately, Nymeria allowed it as Legs smiled. "She''ll make a goodpanion for you".


    Then he red at Ak. "Make sure you take care of her".


    "I will". Ak grinned.


    Legs finally got ready to leave the beast ne.


    "Master, whenever you need me, ask, I''ll be there".


    Legs smiled at his beast''s parting words. For some reason, he felt like a proud dad, the feeling of seeing your child grow up felt so satisfying.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    As they were about to leave, Christensen coughed.


    "Umm¡­, master, don''t you think it''s time you find a woman of your own?"


    Smack!


    "Ouch¡­"

    [Increased bond with Ak, the Wind Wolf.]


    [You have gained the ability tomand every wolf in Ak''s pack.]


    ----


    Bzzz!


    ? As soon as Legs stepped through the rainbow bridge and reappeared in the familiar surroundings of the headquarters of the Hunter Union, his virtual interface greeted him with this notification.


    Since he and his student entered the beast ne through the secure surroundings of their allocated room, they also returned there.


    Legs yawned loudly as he breath in Darvis air again.


    "Roar!" Predator also relished the joy of returning to familiar surroundings.


    The first thing that Legs did was unlocking the door to let the beasts, Predator, Bran, and Leo outside before he finally locked it against them.


    He turned to face Christensen. "Do what you want to do".


    "Ak''s crazy stunt drained the hell out of me, I need to sleep".


    Without waiting for his student''s reply, Legs plunged into the bed as he closed his eyes, willingly sumbing to the inviting embrace of the world of sleep.


    As soon as his master slept, still standing, Christensen silently looked at his master. Like a movie, all the experiences in the beast ne started ying in his head, everything felt too good to be true.


    He chuckled. "Master keeps drifting away from my grasp".


    "Hell, even de is bing a favorite now".


    "I''m not even confident of winning against him in a one-on-one battle".


    He looked down and clenched his fists. "I''m being left behind".


    He hated this feeling, this feeling of helplessness and jealousy as others exceeded him and left him in the dust. He thought he already lived above it as he grew stronger under his master but here, he was again, he was still human.


    Christensen slumped down on the nearby chair in the room as he slowly drifted into the world of his mind where his thoughts were chaotic and jumbled up.


    ''Master says I need to choose between the Shepherd and Beast Combatant advancement sses''.


    ''I already made my choice, yet why can''t I advance?''


    ''Or perhaps, do I need to do more than just choosing?''


    As soon as the thought came, it could no longer leave. This also made him remember a vow that he made to his master.


    ''My super way is to catch up to you and exceed you''.


    ''Since I''m not as talented, I will put in more work''.


    ''If you train 8 hours every day, I''ll put in more effort and train 16 hours every day''.


    ''If you hone your fighting skills 3 hours every day, I''ll hone mine 6 hours every day''.


    ''If you read to learn knowledges 2 hours every day¡­, I''ll ovee my fear of books and read 4 hours every day''.


    Christensen turned his head to look at his sleeping master, he chuckled. "I''ve not given up on my vow yet, there''s no room for me to sleep".


    He stood up and left the room.


    On going outside, he ignored de and everyone''s attempts to speak to him about their journey as he walked straight to Leo. Without giving any exnations, he mounted the Frost Wolf and ordered it to sprint away.


    Christensen was off to the Frost Forest.


    As the Frost Wolf sprinted out of the confines of the Hunter Union''s headquarters, de looked at his big brother''s fading back speechlessly.


    ¡­


    10 minutester¡­


    Knock! Knock!


    A frightening frown came over Legs''s face as he heard it.


    Knock!


    "The f*ck!!!"


    His master''s roar frightened the living hell out of de.


    He was about to sneak away before being found out but he was not fast enough, an irritated Legs already arrived before the door as he opened it, exposing his face that was as red as pepper before his student.


    "What?" Legs asked tly.


    de forced a smile. "Umm¡­, Christensen¡­"


    "What happened to Christensen?"


    "He left feeling a little angry and agitated, so I don''t know, you know¡­"


    "Christensen left?" Legs raised his eyebrows.


    "Yes". de heaved a subtle sigh of relief.


    "Who knows? I don''t know why he left". Legs rubbed his eyes that were still sleepy. "Is that why you woke me from my sleep?"


    de chuckled. "Of course, not". He smiled brightly. "Some guys came this morning seeking to join our faction, they seemed to know Raining Sword".


    "They''ve been bickering with the other guys since morning".


    Legs raised his eyebrows even higher. New guys who knew Raining Sword and were bickering with them since morning, these were definitely yers and not just any yers, pro yers.


    "Lead the way".


    Legs wore his clothes and followed his student out.


    As soon as Legs arrived at the part of the Hunter Union headquarters were his faction members were gathered, he saw them from afar and instantly recognized them as a smirk came over his face.


    Raining Sword had an unbelievable expression on his face. "I can''t believe you''re so shameless that you actually came for what we found first".


    "Where''s the pride of the Freezing Trout team?"


    A yer who was built like a Giant was at the receiving end of Raining Sword''s words. With a massive Great Sword resting casually on his shoulders, he looked brutish, this was Desert Gust, the Berserker God.


    Alongside the Sword God Raining Sword, these 2 pro yers of rival game clubs were widely recognized as the best European VR pro game yers.


    Desert Gust smirked. "You say our pride, actually, our pride is still fully intact, it''s your pride that has been dragged through the dirt".


    "How can you be shameless enough to try monopolizing the main character of a whole version to yourselves? My gosh, that''s too shameless I''m blushing on your behalf, damn, have you no shame?"


    "¡­" Raining Sword speechlessly looked at him.


    In the end, Raining Sword burst outughing. "You''re drunk".


    Suddenly, hisugh came to an abrupt stop as he and the other members of the Blue Autumn team stood up. "Faction leader".


    As soon as he heard that sensitive term, Desert Gust''s eyes shone likenterns as with theeliest smile on his face, he turned to face the NPC.


    "Oh, Great Legs, Breaker of Chains, Liberator of Clubs, King of¡­"


    This guy was still the same as Legs remembered him as, unlike the cool and silent Sword God who girls died for in every one of his interviews, the Berserker God was an enthusiastic, funny, and extremely talkative yer.


    Legs stopped this yer''s word bombardment with a single sentence.


    "Wee to my faction".


    "Talented warriors like you and yourpanions are always wee in my entourage". He smiled at this yer whose reaction was like he still couldn''t believe his ears on hearing what he just said.


    Legs patted his shoulders. "Work hard".

    As Legs turned to leave with his student, the shock of Desert Gust and his teammates was as great as the one that Raining Sword and his teammates experienced, their faces were as if they just saw a ghost.


    "What the¡­ f*ck!"


    ¡­


    Deep in the Frost Forest¡­


    "Leo-Chris Beast Combo: Barrage of Death!"


    Onestbination attack enabled Christensen and his contracted beast to take down the Giant Centipede Monster.


    As the beast died and as Christensen copsed to the ground from exhaustion, his eyes shone as a light of epiphany suddenly shone in his head.


    It happened abruptly but Christensen did well to hold tight on to it.


    "I finally got it!"


    "I did it!"


    "I''m now a Beast Combatant!"


    His eyes constricted in joy from his achievement as a few secondster, he fainted from all the exhaustion that he umted in his crazy stunt.

 Chapter 175 Intermediate Summoner Class Knowledge- Naming Authority

    After epting Desert Gust and his teammates into his faction, Legs led de to the collection library of the Hunter Union where they kept their ss knowledges and their history books.


    Legs knew that there was a bigger and more secretive library with even more ss knowledges, but he didn''t pester his allies for it.


    General Toothpick escorted him and his student into the library.


    After about 2 minutes of walking through the library, they arrived before the shelf where the first basic Summoner knowledge was stored.


    >Basic Summoner Knowledge: Organic Connection<


    Legs smiled on seeing this. "I already have this".


    General Toothpick smiled. "There''s more ahead".


    A few minutester, they arrived before another shelf that housed a basic Pugilist Knowledge. This was a Pugilist knowledge that de didn''t have yet.


    >Basic Pugilist Knowledge: Energy Trainer<


    Once de expressed his desire for the ss knowledge, General Toothpick smiled and walked closer. He pressed a few points in the shelf as the workers at the other end of the library immediately went to work.


    In a few minutes, an alternate copy of the Energy Trainer knowledge waspiled and handed to de who took it with a smile.


    From there on, they kept walking through the library, choosing the ss knowledges that they didn''t have yet. de got 3 Basic Pugilist knowledges before Legs finally saw a Summoner ss knowledge that he didn''t have yet.


    >Basic Summoner Knowledge: Distance Telepathy<


    Legs smiled as soon as he saw this basic Summoner knowledge.


    The Distance Telepathy was tailored to enhance the telepathic connection that a Summoner had with his contracted beasts. In most cases, distance could hinder the smoothness of the connection but with this, the problem was solved.


    While General Toothpick instructed the workers topile a copy for him, like he was doing it out of curiosity, Legs gently touched the book.


    Instantly after he touched it, his virtual interface lit up a notification.


    -----


    Basic Summoner ss Knowledge has been detected: Distance Telepathy


    Learning Basic Summoner ss Knowledge¡­, knowledge learned!


    ----


    As soon as Legs got his first basic summoner knowledge, a dam seemed to have opened as General Toothpick started igniting engaging conversations.


    Like the expert that he was, General Toothpick soon led the conversations and turned it into a negotiation with the expert cunning of a snake.


    Legs smiled through it all as he already knew what the General was driving at. de soon discovered another basic Pugilist knowledge.


    After ordering the workers topile a copy, the General turned to look at Legs. "So, what are your ns after leaving?"


    "Nothing really serious". Legs smiled. "I don''t have a full proof n but of course, I intend to be an adventurer after leaving the Hunter Union".


    "There are so many things to see in our that I can''t afford to tie myself down to one ce, I''d have wasted my youth then". Legsughed.


    "Haha". General Toothpick forced a smile.


    "That doesn''t mean my rtionship with the Hunter Union will change though, I''m an adventurer, but you can also see me as a mercenary".


    "I''m more than willing to keep on selling my knowledge and expertise to you. If I''m offered enough, I''ll keep on giving you information about the Clown Society".


    General Toothpickughed. "That''s if you survive to do that, you know, you''re already at the top of the kill list of the Clown Society after yourst stunt".


    "They''ll stop at nothing to kill you".


    Legs smirked. "Well, let them try, they won''t seed".


    "I and my students, we''re a tough nut to crack, we won''t go down easily".


    General Toothpickughed, he tried other strategies to try persuading Legs to stay but this warrior was just too intelligent for his own good.


    Legs was so experienced that he anticipated his words and easily maneuvered his way through them all, in the end, General Toothpick gave up.


    "I wish you luck in your future travels and adventures".


    "Thank you". Legs''s smile was wide and cheerful.

    Basic Summoner ss Knowledge has been detected: Beast Hierarchy


    Learning Basic Summoner ss Knowledge¡­, knowledge learned!


    ¡­


    Basic Summoner ss Knowledge has been detected: Beast-Master Synergy


    Learning Basic Summoner ss Knowledge¡­, knowledge learned!


    ----


    In the blink of an eye, Legs seeded in learning all 8 basic summoner ss knowledges. Though they didn''t directly increase hisbat power, with all 8 of them, his techniques and unpredictability became more diverse.


    The Beast Hierarchy knowledge enabled him to set up a hierarchy among his beasts, knowing about this knowledge was why he trained his beasts to see and take each other as brothers.


    After setting the hierarchy, all his beasts receive more bonuses from his abilities like the Beast Integration and basic beast energy augmentation.


    Following the hierarchy, the beast who became the eldest beast would get the highest bonuses and had a high chance of awakening a special ability.


    The beast following the eldest gets the 2nd highest bonuses and has a medium chance of awakening a special ability.


    All subsequent beasts get lesser augmentation bonuses in chronological order and they all have low chances of awakening special abilities.


    As for the Beast-Master Synergy ss knowledge, it improved the already incredible synergy in battle between a summoner and all his beasts.


    In the end, synergy and understanding was the only way that a Summoner could take full advantage and use his beasts to their fullest potential.


    After de got the copies of all 8 Basic Pugilist knowledges, they were led to an exclusive part of the library where Intermediate ss Knowledges were stored.


    They were all stored inside one long shelf, and they had special protective sses specially made by Fire Elementalists to protect them from theft.


    >Intermediate Summoner ss Knowledge: Enhanced Leadership<


    >Intermediate Summoner ss Knowledge: Shepherd<


    >Intermediate Summoner ss Knowledge: Naming Authority<


    Seeing the first 2 ss knowledges, Legs''s heart was already skipping a beat as the dreadful reality that the headquarters of the Hunter Union had only the 3 Intermediate knowledge that he had almost came to pass.


    When he eventually looked down at thest of the bunch, he smiled.


    "I''ll take the Naming Authority".


    "Good choice". General Toothpick smiled then he turned to look at de whose eyes were already glued to the 2 Pugilist Knowledges.


    >Intermediate Pugilist ss Knowledge: Pugilist Energy Control<


    >Intermediate Pugilist ss Knowledge: Combat God<


    Through his master, de already learned the first Intermediate Pugilist ss Knowledge. Unlike Christensen, he was not afraid of studying and actually had a great affinity toprehending any Pugilist-rted knowledge.


    de''s eyes constricted in joy. "I''ll take the Combat God".


    He made his choice with emotion in his voice, the Combat God Pugilist knowledge was the magnum opus of all Intermediate Pugilist knowledges.


    It was the end goal of every ambitious Pugilist in Darvis.


    General Toothpick smiled as he ordered the workers topile copies of the 2 Intermediate knowledges. As they werepiled, he turned to face his 2 clients with a serious expression on his face.


    "These ss knowledges were only given to the both of you".


    "Other than you 2, only Christensen can have ess to them".


    "No one else can, exposing them is a crime of the Hunter Union punishable by death, we have our ways to know if you expose it to others".


    "I know". Legs also replied seriously.


    A few more minutester, he finally had his hands on his 4th Intermediate Summoner ss Knowledge just a few months since his breakout into the scene.


    Legs smiled as his virtual interface lit up.

 Chapter 176 Naming

    Legs and de came out of the library like men on a mission.


    Their faces seemed so intent on fulfilling what was on their mind that they seemed capable of destroying the whole world just to achieve their goals.


    After biding them farewell, General Toothpick remained inside the library.


    "Master, I''ll see youter, I need to go do something".


    Legs simply nodded his head as de hurried off.


    Though he didn''t have problems with studying like Christensen, as a Pugilist, de still didn''t like studying, what he liked more wasbat but after getting the Combat God Pugilist knowledge, he was enthusiastic to go studying.


    As for Legs, he didn''t need studying, his virtual interface already simplified everything for him as the knowledges were already assimted into his brain.


    His virtual interface literally made him a bug in this world.


    What he was instead enthusiastic for was 2 of the ss knowledges that he got, the Beast Hierarchy and Naming Authority ss knowledges, he was enthusiastic to put the 2 ss knowledges to use.


    Without hesitation, as soon as his student left, Legs called for Predator through his telepathic connection as the Nightmare Beast soon arrived.


    Legs mounted Predator before riding out of the Hunter Union headquarters, he rode to a nearby vacant valley where he finally stopped.


    As soon as Predator stopped, Legs came down as a lot of things started going through his mind. He intended to name his beasts first.


    The only problem was the allocated naming slots.


    ''Only 4 Naming chances were given to me''.


    ''Predator, Ak, and Bran will each get one''.


    Legs rubbed his chin. ''So, who will get thest chance, Nymeria?''


    ''You dare!''


    Legs was spooked by the loud voice that reverberated through his head through the telepathic connection, he recognized the voice, it was Lucky''s.


    "Haha¡­" Legs chuckled. "I almost forgot".


    ''Open the bridge!''


    ''How dare you forget?''


    Legs could feel a headacheing. Lucky was not supposed to be able to read his thoughts unless they weremunicating telepathically, so how was the damn little Fox able to tap into his thoughts this time?


    He had no choice but to sumb to her fiery self though.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    "You actually forgot¡­"


    Lucky''s voice was loud like that of a nagging wife.


    "I''m sorry!" Legs yelled before she could start her ranting.


    "¡­" Lucky paused, stunned.


    For a long time since her birth, she had always bickered with her father due to her rebellious phase of childhood. Never had her father sumbed to her, Legs suddenly sumbing for the first time left her stunned.


    And yes, Lucky already started seeing Legs as her father.


    As she grew older, the more she presented herself with a question, who were her parents? She had no knowledge of her biological father and mother, when she gained cognitive abilities, Legs was the only person that she knew.


    In the end, she concluded that Legs was her father.


    This did not diminish her shock at Legs''s swift surrender though, she fidgeted as her Foxes rallied behind her back then she snorted.


    "Good, I will be taking that 4th naming chance".


    "Of course". Legs smiled. "Who else deserves to take it?"


    Once Lucky presented herself, everything became easier for Legs, he now knew which beasts to use his naming chances on and he didn''t hesitate.


    The naming chances of the Naming Authority knowledge was like the naming ability of a Necromancer. By naming his beasts, they could finally reach their full potentials, not only increasing their attributes but also purifying their bloodlines.


    Legs no longer hesitated.


    -----

    [Inheritance Location: Extreme North!]


    ----


    Legs''s first naming chance resulted in a change that left even him bbergasted, Legs looked at the little Fox with dropped jaws.


    At this moment, an ethereal green light was flowing through Lucky''s body as mysterious changes went on every second in this Fox''s body.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Legs''s eyes widened. "You little devil!"


    "How can you be so lucky?" He was bbergasted.


    This was not his first time using the Naming Authority knowledge since he also had ess to it in his previous life. Then, all his beasts managed to get was bonus increases to health and attributes, nothing else.


    Legs already knew that his little Fox was lucky, but at times, seeing the miracles of luck firsthand hit so hard that it still seemed ridiculous.


    After all the changes, Lucky raised her head to look at her father. "I feel a connection to deep inside the north, it''s like the Winter is calling me".


    Legs bent down and gently patted her head. "I''ll take you there".


    He made use of another naming chance.

    ----


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    Legs was speechless, he was lost for words to say.


    Looking at the changes that went on in Predator''s body, he was unsure of what to do but he followed his instincts as he jumped excitedly like a maniac.


    "F*ck, my luck is off the charts today!"


    "Yeah man!"


    Legs''s decision toe to the North already proved to be his best decision since reincarnating, the benefits werepletely off the charts.


    Once Predator''s transformation wasplete, his aura changedpletely. The dark energy surrounding him became thicker and more sinister.


    Predator felt the change also as this Nightmare Beast grinned.


    "Roar!!!"

 Chapter 177 Legolass Beast Hierarchy

    After naming his 4 beasts, Legs fulfilled one of his most important roles to his beasts as a Summoner. After this came the beast hierarchy.


    Compared to the Naming chances, the hierarchy gave him an even greater headache. Legs felt like his head was on fire as he looked at all 4 of his beasts that stood before him and looked at him expectantly.


    They all looked expectantly at him due to different reasons.


    Ak was enthusiastic to see how the changes to his leadership qualities affected his Wolf pack, Lucky and Bran were enthusiastic to test their newly found strength and abilities to determine how strong they became.


    As for Predator, only battle and killing filled this Nightmare Beast''s head.


    Predator could not wait to tear a beast apart with his newly discovered strength and abilities, his blood was already burning impatiently for battle.


    Legs smiled as he gently rubbed Predator''s scaly body.


    At this moment, he was already in a dilemma.


    ''In terms of my contracted beasts, Predator is without doubt the eldest since he is my first contracted beast but I got Lucky before him''.


    ''Should Predator be the eldest or Lucky?''


    This time, Lucky could not read his thoughts due to Legs''s cautiousness but from the look on his face, she understood him and already guessed his thoughts. She stood before her father haughtily.


    "I am the eldest, Predator is my younger brother".


    "Validate my position as the eldest".


    Legs kept quiet as he calmly looked at the little Yellow Fox.


    As he looked at her then at the 7 powerful Foxes that were behind her, a smile soon came over his face as his dilemma finally disappeared.


    Legs smiled as he went closer and hugged the little Fox by the head.


    "Do you remember?" He whispered into her ear.


    "Huh?" Lucky was confused.


    "You forgot". Legs chuckled. "I told you not to forget that you''re my favorite, you came to me when even Predator was not there yet".


    "You helped me locate Predator when I needed him the most".


    "Your incredible luck has helped me on various situations".


    "Though you can be silly and hard at times, you''re still my favorite".


    This time, Legs was speaking sincerely from his heart as he rubbed the little Fox''s fur. "Don''t ever forget it again, you''re my favorite but being my favorite doesn''t mean you get everything".


    "Look around". Legs gestured at his other beasts.


    "You know them more than I do, Bran is a Void Raven with incredible powers and battle experience, Ak recently expanded his Wolf pack, it''s only Predator that''s still more or less the same as before".


    "He''s my best one-on-onebatant".


    "Apart from you, he''s stayed with me the longest, and he''s my first contracted beast. You have subordinates but Predator has none".


    "I think Predator deserves this opportunity at least".


    "Making Predator the eldest will bring the greatest benefits to me and us, remember, we''re not just individuals, we''re a family". Legs smiled at Lucky.


    He looked into the Fox''s eyes. "What do you think?"


    Lucky didn''t know how to express how she felt. Since she acknowledged Legs as her father, she seemed to have grown a certain weakness for him and this time it was no different as she fidgeted.


    Legs smiled in his mind as he heaved a sigh of relief.


    "Help your dad with this to grow our family".


    After saying this, Legs no longer sought her opinion, he did it.


    -----


    You have triggered the Hierarchy ss for your beast family!


    [Make your choices!]


    ----


    Legs closed his eyes then he rubbed Lucky''s fur onest time before standing up. "Predator as my 1st contracted beast will be the eldest in our family".


    He turned to look at Lucky with a smile. "Lucky will be the 2nd eldest".


    "Ak will be the 3rd eldest".


    "And Bran will be the currentst born of our family".


    His virtual interface lit up instantly to register his choices.


    -----


    Predator has been made the eldest of Legs''s Beast Family!


    Predator has an 80% chance of unlocking a Special Ability!


    [Predator has received Bonuses:]


    >+10% Base Control Level when fused with you<


    >+100% attribute increase when augmented by the Basic Beast Energy Augmentation Summoner knowledge<


    Predator failed to unlock a Special Ability!


    ----


    Legs was not too disappointed, Predator may have finished all his luck already when he got 2 Primordial Special Abilities from his naming chance.


    His virtual interface continued showing him new notifications.


    -----


    Lucky has been made the 2nd eldest of Legs''s Beast Family!


    Lucky has a 50% chance of unlocking a Special Ability!<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    [Lucky is not part of your contracted beasts, Lucky cannot receive augmentation bonuses!]


    [Lucky has seeded in unlocking a Special Ability: Shadow of the Moon!]


    >Shadow of the Moon: When activated, Lucky is illuminated by a special light from the moon that grants her total invisibility<


    ¡­


    Ak has been made the 3rd eldest of Legs''s Beast Family!


    Ak has a 40% chance of unlocking a Special Ability!


    [Ak has received Bonuses:]


    >+7% Base Control Level when fused with you<


    >+50% attribute increase when augmented by the Basic Beast Energy Augmentation Summoner knowledge<


    Ak failed to unlock a Special Ability!

    >+40% attribute increase when augmented by the Basic Beast Energy Augmentation Summoner knowledge<


    Bran failed to unlock a Special Ability!


    ----


    Once again, Lucky''s incredible luck struck true.


    Legs grinned as he looked at all his beasts. "You wanna try your new strength and abilities out?"


    "Roar!"


    The roar from Predator was deafening.


    ¡­


    Thud! Thud!


    Deep inside the Frost Forest, a pride of Snow lionesses led by their Alpha Lion pursued a herd of Iron-horned Elks as the sounds of their hooves and ws hitting the snow-filled ground reverberated into the surroundings.


    As the chase continued, an intruder suddenly entered the scene.


    The croak of a Raven reverberated in the skies as a ck Raven with golden stripes suddenly appeared above them.


    Just after this Raven appeared, a massive Golden Eagle appeared beside it as the next moment, both birds of prey swooped down on their prey.


    The pride of Snow Lions noticed it as soon as the 2 enemy birds appeared.


    "Roar!"


    "ROAR!!!"


    The Alpha Lion''s roar was met by a roar even louder than his.


    Like an unstoppable train, Predator charged into this battlefield straight at the Alpha Lion. The Lion fearlessly charged at the Nightmare Beast but on collision, the Lion soon discovered how wrong of a decision it took.


    Boom!


    Using his w Barrage ability, Predator smacked the Lion as the momentum of his blows pushed this massive Lion backwards.


    The Alpha Lion barely moved before he pounced on it.


    The thick mane of the Lion prevented his teeth from digging inpletely, but Predator activated all 2 of his new abilities. As soon as the Energy Drain was activated, the Alpha Lion jerked as it roared in pain.


    The Disintegrate ability was what dealt the killing blow to the Lion.


    A bite that was not supposed to be a killing blow became one as from the cells, this Lion''s body started dposing from the inside.


    It died after struggling for 20 seconds, Predator feasted on it.


    The Lionesses were spooked but they didn''t have the chance to help their King because they were preupied by Bran and Lucky.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Bran''s Iron Feathers rattled through their ranks like fiery spears being shot by a battalion of well-trained soldiers, and this was when Lucky transformed again.


    She transformed into a white fairy with a golden crown on her head.


    She shrieked loudly the next moment as all the Lionesses were inflicted with the stun status.


    This presented the opportunity for the Wind Wolf to run riot. With Legs riding on top it, Ak brought the finishing touch of death to the pride of Lions. None of them survived the sudden attack from them.


    All the Elks survived since they were not targeted, but all the Lionesses and their Alpha were left in a pool of their own blood in less than 2 minutes.


    "Damn, I couldn''t even use my human form". Luckyined.


    The next moment, she shapeshifted again, turning into a stunningly beautiful humandy with fair skin. Her appearance instantly brought a sudden stillness to this forest, all the beasts looked at her.


    Legs''s nose literally bled as he looked at thisdy.


    "¡­"


    "Holy¡­ sh*t!"

 Chapter 178 Departure

    Legs returned to the headquarters of the Hunter Union feeling satisfied.


    After 3 years and a few months since his reincarnation into this fantasy world, he was now getting really close to fulfilling his ultimate dream. Despite all the rtionships and distractions, he never forgot his ultimate dream.


    His ultimate dream was still to satisfy his curiosity about the powers behind reincarnation, and the journey so far had been memorable to him.


    After naming his beasts and giving them a hierarchy, he finally became theplete Grade D Summoner. If he was bluffing before when he fought Max and Maggie, now he was sure, he was the greatest Grade D Summoner alive.


    With his incredible battle experience spanning 2 lives, and his current strength, no Grade D Summoner could go against him and survive.


    Lastly, he had an advantage that other Summoners didn''t have, he had Lucky and Predator. The Moon Fox and the Nightmare Beast were his greatest trump cards, they were the main reason for his rapid rise.


    After his stint here in the Hunter Union, he already had and learned all 8 Basic Summoner ss knowledges and 4 of the 6 Intermediate Summoner Knowledges, he was already more than prepped to advance.


    Legs was strong, but he knew that this was not the peak of strength.


    He still wanted to be a Grade C Summoner.


    With his future knowledge, he knew that the key to bing a Grade C Summoner was learning his first Advanced Summoner knowledge, this was the advancement mission that was the default for all Summoners.


    Before getting there though, he needed to level up to the peak of the Grade D realm. Originally, he put all his hopes on Predator''s infinite potential but despite the Nightmare Beast''s potential, it could not happen in a single fortnight.


    Predator still needed to grind and hunt like all other beasts to grow.


    This was why Legs already nned his next couple of steps.


    Since he no longer had a strong need for Summoner knowledges, he would spend his time building his yer army. He already discovered that they were the fastest way for him to get experience points if he yed his cards right.


    He would travel the alongside his students, selling his future knowledge to harm the Clown Society and get benefits while also luring yers.


    This was his future n but before anything, he needed to meet his students.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Legs sent Lucky, Ak, and Bran to the beast ne, leaving only Predator alongside him as he rode the Nightmare Beast to where his faction camped.


    On getting there, he saw the pro yers from rival game clubs.


    After some time, yers from both sides seemed to have calmed down a bit as they no longer bickered among themselves, Legs nodded.


    He ignored the yers and went for his student.


    Like he expected, he learned that de was in the library of the Hunter Union learning Pugilist knowledge.


    "What of Christensen?"


    "He''s not back yet". Desert Gust answered before the others.


    Desert Gust barely finished speaking before a triumphant cry reverberated through the headquarters of the Hunter Union the next moment, spooking countless warriors as these superhumans drew their weapons.


    "I did it!"


    "I f*cking did it!"


    "I really f*cking did it!"


    "Awoo!!!"


    Christensen rode on top Leo as he expressed his joy without restraints.


    The Frost Wolf didn''t know the full details of what happened, but his master''s joy told him that something good happened. Leo yed along as his howls of joy and happiness reverberated through this massive gathering of hunters.


    It was only because most hunters recognized him that the Summoner and his beast were allowed through or most hunters already drew their weapons.


    Christensen rode Leo speedily all the way to where his master was.


    Legs had question marks all over his face.


    "I did it Master!"


    "I really did it!"


    "What did you do?" Legs felt a strong urge to smack his student on the face as his Frost Wolf finally halted directly before him.


    Christensen jumped down.


    "It''s like you said, but I added my own spice of hard work".


    "Guess what? I''m now a f*cking Beast Combatant!"


    Legs''s face turned weird as he looked at his student, then the next moment he turned livid. "And that''s the reason why you spooked everyone with your crazy screaming?"


    "You definitely need some disciplinary actions".<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Smack!


    "Ouch¡­, I didn''t do anything¡­"


    Smack!


    In the end, Christensen could only sumb as imaginary tears streaked down his eyes. Legs only stopped because he was also happy for his student''s achievement, the next moment, he dragged his cheeks.


    "Go call your little brother, we have a meeting".


    As Legs majestically walked away into the Glory Dome, Christensen looked at the departing back of his master as he rubbed his cheeks grievingly.


    "Is master really just a 15-year-old?"


    Despite hisints though, he still went to call his little brother.


    ¡­


    10 minutester, inside the room that was allocated to Legs and his students inside the Glory Dome, they sat together.


    The 2 students looked at their master as they waited for him to speak.


    Legs turned to look at Christensen first. "Have you made your choice?"


    "Huh?" Christensen was confused. "Choice on what?"


    "Your 3rd Contracted beast, you''re now eligible to get one".


    "Oh yes!" Christensen gently smacked his head. "I''ve been thinking a lot about ittely¡­, but I really couldn''t settle on a single beast".


    "Following your advice, I want to get a beast with Ice Affinity".


    "If I go deep enough inside the North, I believe I''ll find a beast that I like".


    "Good". Legs nodded. "The both of you should get ready, we''ve overstayed our wee here, we''ll be leaving today".


    Christensen was about to speak but Legs interrupted him. "de and I have fulfilled a lot of our objectives sinceing here, it''s time to help thest of us to fulfill his objectives also".


    "We''ll be apanying Christensen to the North to get his 3rd contracted beast, and we''ll also escort Lucky to ess an inheritance opportunity that she received through her bloodline".


    Legs adjusted himself on his chair. "Aside from assisting Chris and Lucky, the main reason why I called the both of you here is our future ns".


    "By now, the both of you should have known a lot about me".


    "I have the ability to see into the future, this is why I can expose the ns of the Clown Society". Legs said this with a straight face as he looked at both of his students. "I intend to take advantage of this ability of mine".


    "I need to grow my faction and I need the help of the main organizations".


    "In exchange for selling them information and personally helping them when in need, I''ll receive help from them. I have no intentions of tying myself to the Hunter Union, why do that when I can benefit from them all?"


    "That''s another lesson for the both of you, learn to always maximize your benefits no matter what you do or where you are".


    "Apart from that, we''ll be joining the Crimson des Assassins".


    "¡­" de and Christensen''s eyes widened.


    Legs smiled. "The term Assassin is based on perspective; an Assassin can be better defined by the type of targets that they go after".


    "With the Crimson des, we''ll have better incentives for opposing the psychopaths of the Clown Society".


    "I received an invitation from them a few days ago". Legs threw a letter with a red eagle seal on the table, his students picked and opened it.


    It was a simple invitation letter with the sender''s name beneath it.


    >Sender: Geralt Jones<


    Geralt Jones was the founding Assassin of the Crimson des, him personally sending the letter was another reason why Legs decided to join.


    Geralt was a Grade C Elementalist with a rare Shadow Affinity.


    "Do both of you have any objections to my ns? I''ll listen".


    de and Christensen exchanged looks, then they shook their heads.


    Legs smiled. "That does it then, go get set, we''ll leave in an hour".


    An hourter, General Toothpick stood at the gate leading outside the headquarters of the Hunter Union as he reluctantly bid farewell to Legs and his entourage. The yers also followed them.


    In no time, they disappeared into the thick world of snow.

 Chapter 179 Clowns Obsession

    Deep inside the volcano in the Hellfire Mountains¡­


    Squelch!


    The sickening sound of flesh being slowly torn apart reverberated in the hot environment of this cave inside the volcano as Clown focused on his work.


    Like ck Master Abaddon, Clown was an Elementalist at the pinnacle of Darvis who already became an Elemental Sage by mastering 2 Elemental affinities. Clown already mastered the elements of fire and wind.


    As an Elementalist who already mastered 2 elements, he easily created a ss table by melting sand in his current workshop which he worked on.


    At this moment, on top this massive ss working table was a gigantic being, the corpse of a Giant of the Ancient Era in Darvis.


    This massive Giant corpse was naked on top the ss table.


    Apart from its gigantic size and scary muscly frame, this Giant corpse had magical runes randomly snaking through its body like tattoos.


    As he worked on the Giant, Clown asionally took some time to admire the work of art. "What if I can have such a body?"


    "Hahaha¡­, I would be invincible!"


    "No one can stop me then!"


    At this moment, he was not the sole scientist working on this Giant corpse. He had 8 elite assistants that were assisting him in his experiment currently.


    This was Clown''s personally trained biological experiment team.


    "Bring me the sma knife".


    Solemnly, one of the assistants brought the extremely hot knife.


    A sma knife was technology that should not have been avable in Darvis yet, it was a mystery where Clown got this special knife from.


    A sma knife was the only equipment sharp enough to cut into the extremely tough skin of the Giants. With it, Clown cut the Giant''s skin open.


    Squelch!


    The sound of the skin tearing apart asionally reverberated.


    For the next few dozen minutes, Clown continued tearing into the flesh of this Giant corpse as he not only further studied its biological makeup but also was able to gain more insights into their inherited magical runes.


    After 2 hours of this grueling experiment, Clown made 3 more demands.


    "Bring me the alien living tissue".


    "Also bring the psionic energy alien machine".


    "And call in the waiting mechanic team".


    Solemnly, 2 of his assistants in the biological team went out. They returned with the alien living tissue and psionic energy machine, and following behind them was another team of specially trained mechanics.


    Clown was a genius who mastered his art as a scientist.


    On exposure to alien tech, he also already started building his way into bing a great mechanic. As soon as the mechanic team came, alongside the biological team, they went to work.


    Carefully, Clown removed the decayed tissues of the Giant and reced them with the alien living tissue. Then in ce of the Giant''s vigorous heart, he reced it with the psionic energy alien machine.


    A loud humming sound reverberated as soon as this abominablebination of biological tissue and mechanical parts was made.


    With a deep growling sound, this Giant came alive.


    Its eyes were no longer the normal brown of a Giant, powered by the psionic machine, its eyes now glowed a deep blue color.


    As soon as the Giant stood up, Clown''s eyes became filled with a crazy joy. "Haa¡­, finally, the Giants are in order".


    "Ahhh¡­." The Giant growled loudly the next moment.


    "Die!"


    In a scary disy of strength, this Giant snapped out of its restraints as 3 scientists died to its rampage instantly.


    On seeing this, Clown frowned. "Did I fail?"


    He looked through the blueprint that he drew again then his eyes finally shone in understanding. "The chip!"


    "I forgot the f*cking chip!"


    The next moment, this powerful Elementalist grabbed the chip as fire sprouted from his legs, enabling him to levitate to the height of this Giant.


    As soon as Clown aroused his energy, he attracted the attention of the Berserk Giant who already recognized him as a threat.


    The Giant punched without hesitation, its strength was ridiculous.


    Boom!


    The power of the punch literally squeezed the airspace.


    Clown''s eyes constricted. "Clown Specialty: Fiery Spear!"


    BOOM!


    Everything happened in a sh.


    The sound was like exploding dominoes as the punch collided with the fiery spear, but before the other scientists could understand the aftermath of the collision, the Giant already calmed down.


    Clown hovered above the Giant as he looked at it with a satisfied look on his face, he ordered. "Sit down!"


    The Giant obeyed as it sat down.


    Clown grinned then heughed. "Hahaha¡­"


    "Hahaha¡­"<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "The world shall know chaos!"


    A few minutester, Clown was the one now on top the working ss table. Grog, a Red Master Elementalist of the Clown Society who had a special bloodline power came the next moment as he created a clone of the Almighty Clown.


    Apart from chaos, Clown''s greatest obsession was creating the ultimate body for himself that would allow him to break and exceed the limits of this world.


    His eyes shone with a crazy ambition. "I''ll prove you wrong".


    None of his assistants knew who he said this to, but for some reason, the Almighty Clown said it. They dutifullypleted their duties reverently.


    Clown trusted no other scientist to work on him but a clone of himself.


    He looked at his clone as a crazy grin came over his face.


    "Imnt the Giant race''s runes in me and make me the perfect body".


    "Yes". The Clone answered obediently and went to work.


    As the process started, the door to this cave was pushed open as a ck Master entered. All the scientists payed their respects as ck Master Einstein entered, he calmly looked at Clown who was on the experimental table.


    "The job is done; the royal pce is ready to suffer our wrath".


    Clown''s grin widened. "Good!"


    "Just good, hahaha¡­"


    "The world shall know chaos!"

    -----


    You have encountered an extremely rare beast: Luck Elk!


    ----


    Legs''s eyes literally popped out of their sockets.


    A Luck Elk was a white Elk like a Unicorn with magical powers, like Lucky, these extremely rare beasts had luck affinity.


    Legs remembered in his previous life when the yer forum was taken by storm by the truth. A yer killed this beast and his luck increased.


    He was tempted to make his student take the Luck Elk but the sad truth was that despite their luck, they had zerobat strength.


    Despite the Elk''sck ofbat strength, this was Luck! This was a powerful power that Legs was not ready to miss.


    "After that beast!"


    "Surround it, corner it, and let me kill it!"

    ----


    Bam!


    Legs rode on top Predator as he charged after the Elk herd.


    Though his students didn''t understand his obsession over the beast, they still obeyed his orders as they charged after the herd of Elks.


    After 2 days of moving deeper inside the North, the temperature was now so cold that it could freeze even bones. And in this region, Christensen confirmed a fact that his master once said, Frost Wolves grow infinitely stronger as cold grows.


    Leo already became the strongest of the bunch.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    With Leo and Christensen leading the charge, the Elks were helpless, theypletely smashed through them until the white Elk was cornered.


    With de cleaning up the perimeter, the white Elk could not sneak out.


    Whoosh!


    With one smooth motion of his sword, Legs beheaded this beast.


    -----


    You have killed a gradeless extremely rare beast: Luck Elk


    You have gained 20,000 Experience Points


    You have gained 200 Luck stat points


    ----


    "Hehe¡­" Legs''s grin was wide as Predator already started feasting on the flesh of this Elk without even waiting for his permission.


    In the process of trying to admonish his beast for its impulsive eating behavior, Legs paused as Christensen gently tapped his back.


    "What?" Legs turned to look at him.


    "See". Christensen pointed ahead.


    Legs''s eyes constricted in surprise from what he saw. "Is that¡­?

 Chapter 180 An Unexpected Encounter Deep In The North

    "Is that¡­?"


    Legs''s eyes constricted in surprise. "Is that what I think it is?"


    At this moment, from a location that was not too far away, they could see a vertical white light that extended all the way into the skies like adder that led to heaven, the light was majestic.


    That was not it''s only visual properties, at this moment, from the light, they could see the visible manifestation of frost surrounding it.


    It seemed like a giantdder made of frost was emanating the light.


    While Christensen was still looking at the white light in confusion, like usual, de looked at his master first and from his reaction, he already learned that his master knew something as he became alert.


    "Master, what is it?" de already unsheathed Poseidon''s Fury.


    "If I am not wrong, that is a portal leading to an Elemental ne, most likely an Ice Elemental ne from all the frost surrounding it".


    "¡­"


    Christensen was surprised as he admired the white light.


    de instead became wary. "Are we in danger?"


    "We''ll only find out if we see for ourselves".


    Legs already had a hunch but he didn''t confirm it yet.


    The next moment, with him leading the way, they approached the white light from behind a mountain of snow that hid them from direct view.


    From their hiding spot, they were able to see the origin of the white light.


    Like Legs predicted, the light emanated from a gigantic portal. This portal was emanating such cold that it dropped the temperature of this area even more.


    Legs''s eyes narrowed as he looked at the portal.


    "This is a recently opened portal".


    He barely finished speaking before Luckymunicated through their telepathic connection. ''Let me through''.


    Legs did not deprive her.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    As soon as Lucky and her entourage of Foxes arrived, the Moon Fox ignored her father as she looked at the glowing portal with such focus like it meant a lot to her. The next moment, she turned to look at Legs.


    "It''s inside there, the winter inside is calling out to me".


    Legs was surprised as this confirmed his conjecture. ''Lucky triggering an inheritance opportunity, is it because an Ice Elemental ne portal opened?''


    ''Why would an Ice Elemental ne portal open here?''


    Bzzz!


    As soon as Legs and his students heard this sound, none of them dared to stay in one ce as they all ducked under the mountain of snow including the Foxes, hiding themselves from view of whoever passed through the portal.


    -----


    You have been swept by an energy check


    ----


    Legs felt cold sweat feeling his back.


    A fraction of a secondter, if they didn''t move fast enough to hide beneath the snow, this energy check from a strange Grade C powerhouse would have caught them which could easily mean life-threatening danger.


    Feeling the aura, Lucky and all the Foxes kept quiet including Predator, they reduced their breathing to the minimum as they listened.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "You heard your Chieftian".


    A powerful voice reverberated the next moment.


    "Protect the portal, let no one through and wait for our signal".


    "Once a ce is prepared for you here, your army can finallye to settle in preparation for the Great Takeover".


    The ones at the receiving end of this speech only grunted in reply.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Scent Tracking


    You have activated active ability: Auditory Tracking


    ----


    Through these 2 abilities, Legs kept check of everything that transpired.


    The next moment, the sound of retreating footsteps reverberated in the snow. From their footsteps, Legs already recognized that the retreating 5 were humans, it was the race of the others that he could not yet pinpoint.


    They didn''t seem like beasts and they were not humans either.


    Christensen turned to face his master the next moment with a serious look on his face as he whispered. "Frost Giants!"


    "¡­" Legs felt his heart skipping a beat.


    Though Legs may have inherited his Exclusive abilities, Christensen was still the owner of the abilities, with him, they had more potency and effectiveness.


    As the retreating footsteps slowly faded away, Legs told his students to stay calm as he stealthily raised himself up after using the Cloak of Nothingness.


    He looked and he saw them.


    ''ck Master Abaddon!'' Legs was shocked.


    ''Is the portal the work of the Clown Society?''


    Having learned his lesson during his first encounter with Clown, despite his surprise, he did not say it out loud. And as he remembered the little conversation between them, his eyes constricted in understanding.


    Legs looked towards the portal again and it was no longer lonely, now, 3 enormous warriors of one of the Ancient Darvis races was guarding it.


    With sizes as gigantic as the Ancient Giants, with bodies made of frost, and their long curved icy horns, Legs needed no more confirmation, these were Frost Giants and they seemed to be of a high ranking.


    These 3 Frost Giants all wore armor and 2 of them wielded ice spears, thest of the bunch wielded a heavy Axe as his weapon of choice.


    Legs hid back in the snow as he summarized his findings to his students, instantly after, a lot of things filled his head.


    Back in his previous world, the time was nowhere near for all these developments, everything was being fast-forwarded in this timeline.


    ''Are these also ripple effects of my reincarnation?'' Legs was getting a little bit horrified as he thought of the consequences.


    He soon put all the horrifying thoughts at the back of his mind.


    He looked at Lucky. "Are you sure what is calling you is beyond the portal?"


    The little yellow Fox nodded confidently.


    "That does it then". Legs turned to look at Christensen. "The Ice Elemental ne is the best location that you can ever wish for to get your 3rd contracted beast, since Lucky will be going there, let''s also get your beast there".


    "Get ready for battle".


    "Yes, Master". de and Christensen answered at the same time.


    They waited until the Masters of the Clown Society left, then they made their moves after careful nning from Legs.

 Chapter 181 First Battle Against The Frost Giants

    "This is the n".


    "Frost Giants are¡­" Legs paused as he suddenly turned to look at Christensen who gulped on feeling his master''s re.


    "Umm¡­, I know about Frost Giants too". He chuckled.


    "Good, tell us about them".


    Christensen cried. "What of de? You never ask him¡­"


    "de is no Summoner, he is a Pugilist, a ss which excels in closebat hand-to-hand battles, or can you beat de in closebat?"


    Christensen pouted. "No".


    "Always remember, as Summoners, it is our duty to know everything so that we won''t be caught off guard by our enemies, so tell us about Frost Giants".


    Christensen turned to look at de who had a neutral look on his face, he secretly cursed at his younger brother before taking a deep breath.


    "Frost Giants are a race of the Ancient Darvis era known for their gigantism and strength, their gigantess is only beneath that of the Ancient Giants".


    "Their frost skin is rumored to be as hard as steel".


    "Only the runes of the Giants make them tougher than the Frost Giants".


    "Apart from using their weapons to battle, their greatest weapons are their icy curved horns and their control over frost energy".


    "From a young age, Frost Giants are trained to master control over their horns. With them, they can turn into ughter machines with the strength of Strength Bulls and the lethality of Metal Wolves".


    "Their control over frost energy is elite, few beings can eclipse them".


    "Like?"


    "¡­" Christensen speechlessly stared at his master.


    Legs had a calm look on his face. "Few beings like Leo, Frost Wolves have some of the best control over frost energy".


    "Continue".


    Christensen took a deeper breath then he continued.


    "Their attack methods with their weapons is fairly basic and easily predictable, it''s their incredible strength that is the bane of all their enemies".


    Christensen looked at his master as he finally heaved a sigh of relief. "Frost Giants werest seen 600 years ago".


    "Nice". Legs was generous as heplimented him. "But¡­"


    Christensen''s heart skipped a beat.


    "You forgot something, their weaknesses, knowing every information about a certain race without knowing their weaknesses is as useless as a science student learning theplicated and useless forms of mathematics".


    "¡­"


    Legs alternated his gaze between his 2 students. "Listen carefully, from what we''ve just seen, we may be about to enter Frost Giant territory".


    "The only weakness of Frost Giants is their horns".


    "Their horns are as hard as steel but are as vulnerable as ss at only a single point. Directly beneath the point where their horns connect to their heads, there is a barely visible white line, you hit there, you kill them".


    "Unfortunately¡­, only the most established of Pugilists can hit this tiny white line 100% of the time".


    "Well, fortunately for us, we are not about to kill these Frost Giants which opens way for their only other weakness".


    "Killing them is too much of a chore".


    "But that will expose us to the Clown Society''s ck Master". de was quick to interject as he recognized the risk.


    Legs smirked. "Do you really think we can sneak into the Ice Elemental ne through this portal without alerting the Frost Giants?"


    "They made the portal, they control it, they''ll always know so killing these Frost Giants to prevent the cirction of information means absolutely nothing".


    "Oh¡­" de nodded in understanding. "So, what''s their 2nd weakness?"


    "Speed". Legs grinned.


    "Only Frost Giant Warlords can move at regr human speed, as for the others, they are slowpokes with ridiculous amounts of strength and defense".


    Legs turned to look at Leo. "They are immune to frost damage but not to freezing, you can freeze them to further hinder their speed".


    "Our n is rattle them, outsmart them, then outrun them".


    "Do you all get it?"


    "Yes, Master".


    "Good".<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    They were about to leave but Lucky suddenly interjected. "I can make the n a lot easier¡­"


    ¡­


    As the icy wind blew, 3 Frost Giants stood as diligent watch guards as they watched their surroundings alertly to quickly detect any intruder ahead of time. Suddenly, all 3 of them looked ahead.


    Thud! Thud!


    With Poseidon''s Fury on his right hand, de charged towards the 4 Frost Giants with the momentum of a racing Ferrari supercar.


    "Humans!" The heftiest Frost Giant wielding a war Axe grumbled.


    Boom!


    One stomp of this monster on the ground induced a mini-earthquake, before he could take the next step though, de made his move.


    "Roar!" de roared like a beast.


    de activated both the Demoralizing roar and Disorientation abilities of his master of debuff talent. As soon as the 3 Frost Giants lost their sense of orientation and bnce, de gave the signal.


    "Now!"


    Christensen rode out on top Leo as this massive Frost Wolf howled loudly.


    The 3 Frost Giants instinctively turned to focus on the human and his wolf, and this was the opportunity that she waited for as Vixen made her move.


    As a Grade D Ferrucyon Fox with incredible innate illusion powers, adding all the leading distractions made it even more potent as all 3 Frost Giants instantly fell into an illusion. The next moment, they started seeing a different reality.


    They no longer just saw Christensen and Leo, what they rather saw was a human and his wolf drenched in the blue blood of Frost Giants.


    Not only that, as this human and his wolf escaped, they dragged a dying young Frost Giant along as this young brother of theirs gasped for life.


    "ROAR!!!"


    All 3 Frost Giants roared angrily the next moment as they went in pursuit.


    Their powerful guttural roars reverberated through the cold North with incredible force, momentarily halting the movement of the icy cold wind.


    Thud! Thud!


    The sound of their massive foot hitting the snow as they ran spread mini-earthquakes through the earth, they held their weapons high, agitated already from what they saw as they got prepared to attack.


    The spear-wielding Frost Giants threw their spears.


    Boom!


    Their cooperation was impable, the wolf could not escape as it was left in a pool of its own blood in no time.


    The most powerful Frost Giant roared triumphantly as he charged after the stranded human, when he got close enough, he swung down his giant war Axe.


    With one swing of his war Axe, this human became lost in history.


    But¡­


    Crack!


    This was when the illusion finally cracked, it was like they were living in a ss world before now and the ss finally cracked, revealing the real world.


    Startled, the 3 Frost Giants looked down.


    They saw no human, they saw no wolf, what they rather saw were Iron-horned Elks. At this moment, the war Axe of the strongest Frost Giant already cut the Alpha Iron-horned Elk in twain in one sh.


    As for the ice spears of the remaining 2 Frost Giants, instead of pinning a wolf, it was rather 2 Iron-horned Elks that they pinned to death.


    At this moment, a strange entity already froze them to knee-length level as they struggled to move. The Frost Giants were stunned as they finally understood what happened, they turned and their faces despaired.


    Without them knowing, they already strayed away from the teleportation portal and standing before the portal were 3 humans and their beasts.


    "ROAR!!!" The most powerful Frost Giant roared angrily.


    Legs smiled back at him. "I love you too".


    "Adios".


    He led the way as they all jumped into the portal.


    The Frost Giants could only watch helplessly and angrily, they roared in frustration as the strongest of them struck the snow with his Axe angrily.


    In the end, what could they do? Nothing.

 Chapter 182 Lords Of The Ice Elemental Plane

    "King Nagakin, can we trust a human?" Amon questioned his King.


    The King of the Frost Giants looked up at his most trusted advisor, then he turned to look at all his subordinates that followed him to the negotiation.


    All around him were Frost Giants.


    Most of them didn''t have armor and were regr Frost Giant warriors, but a sizeable number of them wore armor and wielded powerful ice weapons, these were the elite Frost Giant warriors of his kingdom.


    At this moment, they camped in the open very close to the portal. This was where thest negotiation with the Clown Society was made.


    King Nagakin was a burly Frost Giant, bigger than the others and also looked stronger. His horn was armed with a golden ancient armor covering, his frosty beards were long and fierce, overall, he looked like a boss character.


    He turned his head to look at his most trusted advisor again.


    "Amon, I''ve spoken with the Clown, I know his type".


    "He''s a crazy man who is filled with ambition, not only that¡­" He grinned. "I''ve lived over a thousand years, and in my time, I''ve witnessed different personalities, Clown is a big baby".


    "From my interactions with him, I can urately guess the events of his life".


    "He''s a genius who was probably overpampered by his master which led to his crazy personality. His master noticed his change toote and, in his bid, to correct him, he began treating him too harsh which bred rebellion in his arrogant mind".


    "To prove his master wrong that he was right, he rebelled".


    "He went rogue and that''s probably when he founded his organization".


    "From what I''ve seen, he really believes in the order of chaos but his real motivation all along is proving his master wrong".


    "All he wants is acknowledgement from his master".


    King Nagakin stood up. "If we y our cards right, we can emerge as the winners and even if we don''t, I''ll make sure we don''t face extinction".


    "But¡­"


    Nagakin looked at his advisor. "Our race became the only fully surviving Ancient race of the 2nd cataclysm, I led you all through it and enabled us to settle in the Ice Elemental ne, do you think it was a fluke?"


    "¡­" Amon was unable to reply.


    "In just a few decades, I led you all and we became the Lords of the Ice Elemental ne which is a position we''ve held till now".


    Nagakin looked into Amon''s eyes. "Do you think it was a fluke?"


    "No". Amon looked down.


    "Good". Nagakin patted him on the shoulders. "Cheer up brother, support me like usual and the Frost Giants will live through this to see better days".


    "Yes, my King".


    "Round up the returnees, we''re returning to our territory!"


    As soon as the King''s mighty voice reverberated around this camp, majority of the Frost Giants like arranged stood up as they soon followed him and matched deeper into the thick world of ice of the Ice Elemental ne.


    They left an elite squad of Frost Giants to guard the portal.


    A few dozen minutes after King Nagakin returned with the other Frost Giant warriors though, the portal glowed brighter indicating that it was used.


    Bzzz!


    3 humans, a squad of Foxes, a Nightmare Beast, and a Frost Wolf jumped through the portal as all the eyes in this Frost Giant camp was attracted.


    In the blink of an eye, Legs, his students, and their beasts were at the center of attention, all eyes were on them and definitely not friendly eyes.


    The Frost Giants were originally confused at the unexpected sighting, but their leader, the Frost Giant Captain left by King Nagakin was the one who understood the situation first as he roared loudly.


    "Intruders, round them up and kill them!"


    As he roared, the Captain of the Frost Giants already grabbed his enormous ice War Axe as he erected a blue glowing Frost Shield around the camp.


    "Calm down". Legs reassured his students before they could freak out.


    With calm eyes and a slightly racing heart, he observed his surroundings.


    From what he could already see, this was a Frost Giant camp and probably where the negotiations took ce. He already guessed to meet something like this before they entered the portal and was the reason for his unhurried reaction.


    His eyes calmly scanned his surroundings as his brain calcted.


    ''15 Frost Giants, 10% chance of victory in battle''.


    ''45% chance of sess to escape, he holds the key to the Frost Shield''.


    Legs''s eyes focused on the Captain. ''Their leader is the key''.


    Legs''s eyes shone as soon as he arrived at the perfect n.


    "de, lead the charge, aim for their Captain".


    "Christensen, support him on top Leo. In the Ice Elemental ne, Leo is our strongestbatant by a sizeable margin, use him wisely".


    "Predator, support the both of them".


    "Roar!" Predator roared as his blood boiled despite the cold here.


    Shing!<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    At the second where Legs started giving the orders, de already started executing his part as he unsheathed Poseidon''s Fury and exploded forward with speed. His target was of course the powerful Frost Giant Captain.


    Christensen mounted Leo instantly as he went after de to support him, Predator was already hot behind their heels as he supported them.


    Legs turned to the Foxes. "On me, we keep everything stable, bide our time and wait till the window of opportunity opens".


    Redmane took charge of the Foxes. "Defense and opportunist formation!"


    "Roar!!!" Zorro''s roar reverberated through the icy world like thunder.


    As soon as their Captain moved, all the Frost Giants also moved. They grabbed their weapons as without hesitation, they attacked the intruders.


    Legs and the Foxes were prepared for them though as they tightly defended, with Redmane at the helm, the teamwork of the Foxes was crazy.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    They defended tightly, giving Legs the freedom to continue observing and calcting while patiently waiting for the window of opportunity to open.


    Thud! Thud!


    de''s legs hit the snow with the momentum of a rampaging Bull.


    Mid-sprint, his Master Pugilist and Swordsman talent triggered. Against an opponent who favored meleebat, he was at his best. And with his Precognition talent, he was the worst opponent to any meleebatant.


    Before contact with this gigantic Frost Giant, de remembered his master''s words. ''Speed is their weakness''.


    Whoosh!


    Even before the Frost Giant Captain swung his gigantic War Axe, he already predicted it as he evaded it ahead of time while going for the leg.


    The sound of Poseidon''s Fury shing with the thick ice skin of the Frost Giant reverberated like the sound of 2 steel swords shing.


    Metallic ringing sounds reverberated as like a leaf, de floated around this Frost Giant, predicting all his moves ahead of time and dodging them even as he continued nipping away at his crazy defense.


    This was when Leo, Christensen, and Predator arrived.


    "Roar!"


    Once both beasts arrived, the Frost Giant Captain became even more helpless. Despite his incredible strength, with his opponents knowing his speed weakness and deliberately targeting it, he could do very little.


    Leo soon froze his right leg with his incredible frost powers after a fierce struggle between them.


    The Frost Giant Captain struggled to free himself from the frost.


    As soon as this happened, Legs''s eyes shone as he recognized the window of opportunity that he had been waiting for. Breaking through the Frost Shield with their strength was impossible, the Captain was the key.

    The loud cry of a Raven reverberated the next moment.


    Before the Frost Giant Captain could react, Legs pped his wings as he descended with the momentum of an alien jet.


    He easily evaded the Frost Giant''s attack as he made it to his neck where the key was stored inside his ne. Onnding on his neck, before the Frost Giant Captain could react, he grabbed the blue crystal and crushed it.


    Crack!


    Instantly, the sturdy blue Frost Shield shattered with a loud sound.


    "Run!"


    Legs pped his wings as he rose into the skies.


    He bombarded the Frost Giants with Iron Feathers and Void Spears, buying just enough time for his students, their beasts, and Lucky''s Gang to escape.


    With one p of his wings, he disappeared into the icy wind after them.


    The Frost Giants lost the intruders, they were stunned.

 Chapter 183 Christensens Choice

    "How can you let human intruders free in our territory?!"


    King Nagakin''s voice reverberated through the air like thunder as he reproached his warriors, expressing his anger.


    This King''s anger was justified. During their years of observation, they already saw the destructive potentials of humans wherever they went, thest thing they wanted was humans running amok in this Elemental ne.


    Originally, only Elementalists could ess this ne like Summoners to the beast ne. They could tolerate only that but definitely no more humans.


    Most especially when these humans seemed to have discovered their secrets. King Nagakin was livid for minutes after he received the news.


    Alongside the Frost Giant Captain, the 3 Frost Giants who were ced in Darvis to look after the other end of the portal also kneeled before their King. King Nagakin looked down at them.


    "For yourcency, you are sentenced to 2 months ofbour".


    "Thank you for your benevolence oh Great King!"


    The next moment, they were dragged away.


    King Nagakin growled as he sat back on his ice throne. Noticing his advisor''s stare, he turned to look at him. "Amon, what should I do?"


    "There''s no need for us to hunt these humans ourselves".


    "From what Captain Lamak exined, they are extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and dangerousbatants, hunting them won''t be easy".


    "Let''s leave the job to the humans themselves, the Clown Society is more desperate than we are to make the secret of our alliance remain a secret".


    "Tell them about the intruders, let them hunt and kill them themselves".


    King Nagakin looked at Amon for a few seconds then he nodded. "It''s a good suggestion, I support it so do it".


    "Yes, my King".


    "Wait¡­" King Nagakin stopped Amon before he could leave. "Also, remember the hunt, I hope all the elite warriors are ready".


    "We''ve tracked it for over a century, we''ve never been so close to getting it, we can''t afford to lose it now".


    ¡­


    The Hellfire Mountains¡­


    ck Master Einstein creased his brows as he read the contents of the letter that was written on an ice pamphlet and teleported straight to him.


    "White hair, possibly hazel eyes¡­" His eyes narrowed. "That Sexy Chocte again, he''s slowly turning into a thorn at our side".


    He turned to look at Clown who was still unconscious, recovering from the operation of imnting Giant runes into his skin.


    With a part of his body already turned mechanical, now adding runes to the equation, Clown looked more hideous than ever before.


    ording to the words of the Clown, the Sexy Chocte was just a low-life nuisance who has no power to influence the big ns of the Clown Society.


    But for some reason, having faced him before and seeing his ingenuity back in the desert, ck Master Einstein felt the need to give this nuisance more respect. He decided to act behind Clown''s back for the first time in a while.


    He turned to face his subordinate. "Din, bring me the Red Master book".


    "Yes, Master Einstein".


    Din faithfully went to bring the book. Despite his short time since joining the Clown Society, Din already won the favor of this ck Master and was already epted as his first ever student.


    This was exactly what Din sought when he decided to betray his roots, he wanted equality, he wanted where his talents would be rightfully rewarded.


    ck Master Einstein grabbed the big book and looked through it. The Red Master book recorded all the Red Masters of the Clown Society, both those that acted as spies, integrating into normal human society for years.


    This book was only freely essible to ck Masters.


    Einstein saw a few notorious names in the book but he could not settle for one. ''His battle history is crazy, even Daemon suffered against him¡­''


    He turned to look at Din. "What do you think of him?"


    "Legs?"


    "Yes, the Sexy Chocte or Legs, whatever his name is".


    "During my time with him, though it was little, I learned to respect him. He''s a great warrior, he''s calm, he''s patient, he''s intelligent, and he''s ruthless when needed".


    ck Master Einstein raised his eyebrows. "That''s a loting from you, it almost sounds like you admire him".


    "I do admire him". Din said coldly.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "Well, that makes me change my ns, multiple assassins it is then".


    ck Master Einstein carefully went through the book for 20 minutes during which time he carefully ticked 8 names.


    Even Din was surprised. "8 Red Masters just for him and such established and notorious Red Masters?"


    ck Master Einstein looked at him. "Do you think it''s too much".


    "No, it''s just about right".


    "Good, take the names and give it to the alien letter processing machine".


    "Yes, Master".


    That same day, at 8 different corners of Darvis, some deep in the extreme North while others at the extreme South, they received the assassination mission that was directly authorized by ck Master Einstein.


    Without hesitation, all 8 Red Masters packed their loads and got ready toplete their newly assigned mission in a long time.

    You have triggered Passive Ability: Marksman


    ----


    One draw of Christensen''s makeshift arrow was all it took for Legs to bring down an Ice Smander which would be their food for that morning.


    Like usual, de attended to the meat as Legs went to attend to the beasts, mostly Lucky as he asked her about her connection to the inheritance ground and how close they were to it.


    As for Christensen, like usual, he was out with Brutus to scout.


    As the undisputed tracking kings of this group, Christensen and Brutus naturally took on this very important responsibility to get a better feel of their surroundings. Christensen was already a pro at it.


    Though it seemed like just yesterday, it was already 3 days in the Ice Elemental ne and in this time, they already managed to achieve a lot.


    A few more dozen minutester, Christensen and Brutus returned. Without hesitation, the 3 humans dug into the beast of the Ice Smander with gusto.


    As they ate, Christensen narrated. "It''s like the usual".


    "The Frost Giants are the absolute Lords of this ne, there are signs of them everywhere that it''s almost ridiculous, they literally built an Empire here already".


    "Apart from the normal ice monsters here who cower before them, the only ice monsters strong enough to stand on their own are 4".


    de and Legs looked up at Christensen in surprise. "Another? Yesterday, you said there were only 3 that could stand up to them".


    Christensen smiled. "My record was updated today".


    "The ones that are powerful to have territories of their own are the Frost Bears, the Ice Smanders, the Frost Goris, and guess what?" Christensen grinned. "Yetis".


    Legs''s eyes widened. "You discovered a Yeti?"


    "Not a Yeti, I discovered a race of Yetis, I finally understand. The others alone are not powerful enough to oppose the Frost Giants, the Yetis are the main reason why the Frost Giants haven''t imed the whole Ice Elemental ne yet".


    Legs smiled as he already knew where his student was heading to. "So, you''ve made your choice?"


    "Of course". Christensen smiled. "Today, I was bold, I went close enough with Brutus to see them in action".


    "They are aggressively powerful, fairly fast, they have an extremely tough hide, and their control over frost energy is elite".


    "But¡­"


    "I know". Christensen said before his master could finish. "I know that getting one of them is hard, but I''ve made up my mind, I''ll do everything in my power to get one and I also hope you guys help me".


    "¡­" de looked at his elder brother. "You''re so shameless".


    Legsughed.


    That morning, they started nning on how to subdue a Yeti Monster.

 Chapter 184 Hunting A Yeti Monster! [1]

    -----


    You have discovered a rare beast: Yeti Monster!


    ----


    Rustle! Rustle!


    Like usual, the icy wind roughly blew through the white world of the Ice Elemental ne, submerging both animal life and the few nt lives in its embrace.


    At this moment, at an isted part of this Elemental ne, a group of huge monsters that looked like Apes moved through the white world of snow.


    This was a Yeti family of 4, the Alpha male, its Alpha female, and 2 young Yetis.


    Compared to normal Apes, these huge monsters towered far above humans in size, almost rivalling the gigantic sizes of the Frost Giants.


    This family seemed to be having a casual stroll through the snow.


    Probably bored, the Alpha male Yeti asionally mmed his massive and powerful arms against the snow, breaking the ice apart and causing mini-earthquakes that shook the ground across a region of meters around them.


    This casual action from the Yeti was what made this area isted, no other beast dared to draw close after witnessing such raw power in disy.


    The strange thing though was that the young Yetis ate the snow that their powerful father scattered after hitting the ground, and they also seemed to be enjoying it.


    From his first nce, Legs already detected their levels. While the Alpha male and female were both pinnacle Grade D monsters, the 2 young Yetis were both Grade E monsters.


    "Tell me about them". Legs turned to look at his student.


    "Remember¡­"


    "I know, before engaging any beast or human, know him first". Christensenpleted the sentence for his master as he smiled.


    "Shh¡­" de hushed them but Christensen only smiled.


    "No worries, I already did my research, hearing is not their best trait".


    "So, what do you know?" Legs asked impatiently.


    For the first time, he was meeting a beast that he had little to no knowledge about. Christensen rifying things would do a lot to help his ministry.


    Christensen dared not keep his master waiting. "I only encountered them this morning but I was able to track them far, even making use of my incredible abilities to back-track their trails to their other families".


    "Like the Frost Giants, they are monsters with a social order. From what I saw, I guessed that they probably have a Grade C Elder that protects them".


    "They feed only on snow and mana crystals".


    "Tell me their weaknesses and strengths". Legs corrected.


    Christensen nodded. "I don''t know much about their strengths since I''ve not seen them in an actual fight, but as for their weaknesses, I already know some".


    "They have low eyesight and hearing, they detect mostly through vibrations. Apart from that, nothing else really, and unfortunately, they don''t have the weaknesses of the Frost Giants, they are fairly fast".


    "Aha¡­!" Christensen smiled. "Lastly, they have a weakness of curiosity especially the Alpha male".


    "¡­"


    Legs folded his hands and red at his student. "Good job".


    "You sessfully learned nothing about them".


    He didn''t reproach Christensen for long though, he focused back on the Yetis. "Do you have a n?"


    "Yes".


    "Good, go for it, we''ll only intervene if your life is threatened".


    "I appreciate it". Christensen smiled as he left his hiding.


    After receiving help from his master on numerous asions already, for the first time, Christensen was determined to do something himself. He wanted to prove to his master that he was really grown up now and could do things himself.


    Taking from his master''s ybook, he had ns in ce, not just one n.


    A main n and multiple contingency ns as backup to react to different scenarios.


    ¡­


    "Woof!"


    The soundwaves of the Shadow Hound''s bark traveled through the air as they smoothly entered the vibration detector organs of the Yetis. The Male Yeti''s hair stood on end first as it turned to look in the direction of the Hound.


    It squinted its blue eyes to look once, then it turned away uninterestedly.


    ''You dare?!'' Brutus didn''t agree to this suicide mission from his master originally but the disinterest from the Yeti angered him, he felt challenged.


    "Woof!"


    The Yeti looked again, then it snorted threateningly and looked away again.


    This time, Brutus was ming with anger. ''You''re really asking for it''.


    "WOOF!!!"


    The soundwaves of Brutus'' bark traveled through the air like thunder.


    "Roar!"<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Brutus did it this time, the Yeti was angered, not only angered but it was also amused and curious. For a long time, few beasts dared to cross its path, it was curious to see this beast with balls of steel that dared to cross its path.


    Without hesitation, this Yeti charged after the Shadow Hound.


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    Brutus was stunned, tracking this beast with Christensen, he already saw it sprint but not at this level. The speed of the Yeti at this moment waspletely off the charts as this Hound panicked for the first time.


    He almost turned invisible but Christensen was observing.


    ''Don''t do it, stay brave and lead him to me''.


    Brutus turned around without hesitation as he charged away, his speed was nowhere a match for the Yeti as it easily started closing the distance.


    A few distance away, the Alpha female Yeti protested angrily as its husband ran away due to curiosity.


    Clearly, this was not the first time the Alpha male did this, she was about to lead her younglings there but she was attracted by something else.


    Cling!


    The jingling sounds of mana crystals falling and colliding with each other reverberated, even before she could understand, her younglings already charged towards the opposite direction to go feed on the mana crystals.


    ? Between her husband and kids, this female Yeti easily made her choice, she charged after her younglings.


    This presented the ideal one-on-one situation that Christensen wanted.


    As the Yeti''s powerful legs collided against the snow one at a time, spreading vibrations through the ground, Christensen rapidly calcted its speed and momentum. The next moment, he jumped out of his hiding.


    "Ahhh¡­!"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Christensen jumped out and pulled the trigger, the G-96 pistols roared loudly as they battered at the exposed face of the Yeti who growled in reply.


    The Chaotic Mana bullets could do very little against ice, but it''s mana-disruptive abilities was something that Christensen already grew to cherish.


    As soon as the Yeti saw the human, it understood as its rage exploded.


    "ROAR!"


    Instantly, the Yeti turned Berserk as its calm blue eyes turned a fiery red.


    "Oh sh*t!"


    This already went out of his ns but Christensen had no intentions of turning back, he pulled himself together and rolled under this massive beast.


    Under it, he pulled the trigger again, rapidly hitting its thick skin with bullets. Though the bullets had a hard time prating its sturdy skin, they were still a nuisance as the Yeti bent down to deal with the little rat.


    Instantly after it bent down, the n started for real.


    "Awoo!"


    With a swift whooshing sound, Leo pounced with frost energy following him. Due to the Yeti looking down, it was unable to react as this Frost Wolf grabbed it by the head before sinking his teeth into its neck.


    "Roar!"


    The Yeti roared in pain as it thrashed about but Leo did not let go.


    Apart from biting it, Leo also froze its 2 legs as its mobility slowly reduced by the second. As this happened, Christensen no longer shot at it, he followed his n as he rapidly scaled the massive body of this predator.


    On getting to its head, he ced his hand on it as he closed his eyes and focused. It was this activity that angered this Yeti even more.


    It growled as blue frost emerged out of its nose the next moment.


    Then¡­


    BOOM!


    The massive Yeti monster triggered a chain frost explosion.


    Leo could not keep his bnce on its back, neither could Christensen as they were both flung away, Christensen coughed blood as his full-proof n just failed.


    Thud! Thud!


    After feasting on the mana crystals, the female Yeti already detected the ambush as she started sprinting towards this location with her younglings.


    Seeing this sight, Christensen sighed as he cracked his head.


    "F*ck, easy mode just failed".


    "Why does it have to be f*cking hard mode every time?"


    Though heined, he did not despair yet as his face became serious the next moment. "Leo, Brutus, contingency n B24".


    Brutus went to work instantly.


    Bzzz!


    The Shadow Hound and Christensen disappeared from sight.

 Chapter 185 Hunting A Yeti Monster! [2]

    In the blink of an eye, 2 of their enemies disappeared.


    The Alpha male Yeti was stunned as it suddenly lost all traces of the strange creature and the Hound. The female Yeti was also stunned as it looked around in search of the enemies even as it continued charging forward.


    "Contingency n B24¡­"


    As soon as Leo received this order, he no longer held back.


    A Yeti was a powerful and formidable opponent, but it was not invincible. Leo himself was no pushover, as a Frost Wolf of royal bloodline, in the Ice Elemental ne, he was also a fearsome monster to go up against.


    Leo no longer held back.


    He was about to sprint, but feeling a sudden instinct, he followed it as he instinctively triggered a power of his that was previously dormant inside him.


    As soon as Leo triggered it, his body started experiencing changes.


    His white fur became tinged with a touch of blue, his ears stood on end like antennas as his sensitivity to his surroundings increased. His hair stood on end as they crystallized, turning into tiny ice spikes.


    Leo''s eyes turned darker as a strange power surged within him.


    Boom!


    After howling onest time, Leo charged after the gigantic Yeti.


    As he charged, the frost gathering around Leo increased as Leo activated his Ice Domain ability. Then the next moment, he created Giant Spear Icicles which he threw at the Yeti with incredible momentum.


    That was not all, the blue clouds in the sky crystallized into giant ice balls.


    Under Leo''s will, these giant ice balls came crashing down towards the gigantic Yeti that charged towards him. The Yeti did not back down.


    Both of these beasts were incredible controllers of frost energy.


    Unlike Leo though, the Yeti was not as graceful with his control and movements. He was rough, wild, and aggressive.


    Mid-sprint, the gigantic Yeti started mming its massive arms into the snow. With each m, his massive arms dug in and when he pulled out, he swung them towards the direction of the powerful Frost Wolf.


    The Yeti''s arms did not swing alone, following alongside them after the swing were gigantic balls of ice that werepressed to form the ultimate frost weapon.


    The balls of ice collided against Leo''s spear icicles.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The sound was like exploding dominoes as frost energy collided with frost energy in an exciting disy of power, none of them won from ranged battle.


    They continued charging until they closed the distance.


    Without hesitation, the Yeti mmed with its powerful arms in a bid to tten the Frost Wolf against the snow but Leo''s speed was faster.


    Whoosh!


    Leo kited around this gigantic monster as he chipped at its health, constantly releasing frost attacks that dealt incredible damage to the Yeti.


    In this new state of his, Leo gained incredible strength that enabled him to contend with the Yeti. It never had the upper hand but this was already more than Christensen bargained for, he was more than grateful for this.


    Seeing her husband shing against the Frost Wolf without winning outright, the female Yeti growled loudly as it continued charging forward to help.


    All of a sudden though, its danger instincts rang danger bells. Not exactly danger instincts, but its parental protective instincts as it turned to face its younglings the next moment only to see the frowning face of the strange creature.


    After his easy n failed, Christensen no longer had any reason to smile.


    Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger against the young Yetis as he came out of his invisibility state. Their skin was not as tough as their parents, blood flowed as the Alpha female roared angrily the next moment.


    As the female charged back to meet him, Christensen went invisible again.


    Having received a sessful threat already, the female Yeti no longer dared leave its younglings alone as it protected them, leaving her husband to his fate.


    Boom!


    The sh between Leo and this gigantic Yeti was intense.


    Amid the intense sh as its blood boiled hot, the Yeti already got embroiled in the battle that he forgot about his other enemies. Brutus and Christensen appeared behind it like specters.


    To get his goal, Christensen already forfeited all his morals.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    He appeared behind the Yeti in that crazy angle where its anus was exposed to him. The Yeti was constantly on the move but instantly after he appeared, both Leo and Brutus received the signal.


    Leo instantly activated his Ultimate Freeze special ability.


    As for Brutus, he activated his only restraint skill.


    As the ice rapidly spread, struggling to freeze the powerful Yeti for a brief moment, Brutus'' restraint skill activated as a portal to the shadow domain opened through which shadowy tentacles emerged and grabbed the Yeti.


    The Yeti still struggled despite all the restraints, this showed its incredible power but already at 110% focus, Christensen still saw the window of opportunity.


    Amid the struggles, there was a fraction of a second where the Yeti was still.


    Due to his high concentration, Christensen was able to capitalize on this fraction of a second as for a brief moment, the anus of the gigantic Yeti became still to him. His eyes turned even more serious as he made his move.


    In one iconic disy of ruthlessness, Christensen dug the muzzle of his 2 G-96 pistols into the butthole of the Yeti Monster, then he pulled the trigger.


    As automatic pistols, the bullets just kept oning without pause.


    Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!


    Blood blossomed from the butthole, staining Christensen but he cared not about how he looked so long that he got his goal at the end.


    The Yeti''s red eyes widened in shock, pain, and a crazy sensation as it instantly left its Berserk state with its eyes turning blue again.


    Its eyes constricted weakly like a man whose balls were just kicked.


    Its legs buckled in as it copsed on the floor weakly, Christensen''s eyes shone as he rapidly sprinted towards its head at this opportunity before cing his head on it. Instantly, he activated his Beast Contract active ability.


    The Yeti still tried to struggle but with Leo and Brutus both restraining it, and its current weakness, Christensen slowly started overpowering it.


    From afar, the Alpha female Yeti watched the oue of her husband.


    The Alpha Yeti''s eyes slowly started closing, once it closedpletely, they would open again with a new perspective as Christensen''s contracted beast.


    Before they closed though, something happened.


    BOOM!


    BOOM!


    BOOM!


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    After 3 consecutive booming sounds that seemed to shake the core of this Elemental ne itself, the roar of an apex predator reverberated through the Ice Elemental ne as every single beast here shook under the authority of bloodlines.


    The roar reverberated like a cluster of thunders thundering at the same time.


    Christensen was rattled by the roar as he instantly lost concentration.


    Leo was intimidated by the roar as for the first time since Christensen got this Frost Wolf of royal bloodline, Leo shuddered and cowered in fear.


    Even the Yeti shrank in fear as its eyes constricted in fear.


    Every single beast in the Ice Elemental ne cowered in fear, even Bran who perched on Legs''s shoulders except only 2 beasts.


    Feeling the oppression from the roar, one of these beasts felt challenged, he felt a bloodline that rivaled his bloodline for the first time since its potential became infinite as he stood his ground and looked ahead into the distance.


    "ROAR!!!"


    Predator roared back defiantly.


    Legs''s eyes widened in shock. "What is this?"


    "A beast rivaling Predator''s bloodline¡­?!"

 Chapter 186 The Beast Lost To History

    Only King Nagakin and a few other high-ranking military warriors of the Frost Giant race had ess to the most important history of their race.


    Over a millennium ago, the then reigning King of the Frost Giant race had his first encounter with the world outside Darvis.


    The gigantic spaceship wreak was the first thing that descended in Frost Giant territory. In it were the first signs of humans, this was when the truth became known to the Frost Giants that life existed outside their.


    King Olirium protected the humans and gave them territory to stay and procreate, he wanted to make peace with the aliens and study them.


    That was when humans first came to settle in Darvis.


    Apart from King Nagakin and the few other high-ranking military warriors of the Frost Giant race, only the surviving Warlord of the Orc race and a few of the strongest humans were the survivors who knew of this important piece of history.


    What others didn''t know was that just 2 months after the spaceship wreck, something else fell from space and alsonded in Frost Giant territory.


    The gigantic mythical beast was dying and was on itsst breath.


    With its remaining energy, the Frost Giants witnessed something greater than them as this mythical beast created a portal to the Ice Elemental ne.


    For the first time, they knew about the Ice Elemental ne.


    By opening the portal, the mythical beast was able to save its life as it hid in the Ice Elemental ne to rest and recover. Having witnessed this incredible scene, King Olirium kept it secret, only known to his most trusted warriors.


    Since then, the search and hunt for the mythical beast started.


    King Olirium believed that finding it and taming it since it was weak and injured would herald the real golden age of Frost Giants.


    With it, he believed that the Frost Giants could build an Empire that would lord over all other races, even the Ancient Dragons and rule Darvis.


    Unfortunately, King Olirium searched to no avail.


    He searched till he died without achieving his goal, and the next King, King Nagakin took the role upon himself.


    His decision to migrate his race to the Ice Elemental ne to escape the 2nd cataclysm was also motivated by the mythical beast.


    Now, for the first time in over a millennium, the Frost Giants finally found their first real track to this beast. King Nagakin put all his resources to follow the trail and it paid, after such a long time, the mythical beast was found.


    It hibernated thousands of meters deep inside the snow.


    The beast had hibernated beneath Yeti territory all along.


    ¡­


    The Yeti Monsters were a social group¡­


    Their main territory where their Elder lived was harmonious and peaceful since they fed on only snow and mana crystals, and no other predator dared to swagger into their territory.


    Unknown to them, after years of nning, the Frost Giants infiltrated their territory. The hibernation spot was directly beneath the Yeti Elder''s ice hut.


    To avoid startling him, the Frost Giants took the stressful route and started digging deep to the hibernation spot from far away.


    After years of digging, they finally made it deep enough.


    Their only uncertainty though was that they didn''t know the current state of the mythical beast, and this was what f*cked them from behind.


    Thousands of meters deep beneath the snow, the temperature was freezing, and it stayed like that all year round.


    As the ice offering him the cold needed to recover slowly melted away due to the Frost Giants, his sensitive body detected it.


    When theyer of ice directly covering his body was removed, this was when his sensitive skin was finally irritated and this mythical beast finally awakened.


    After a millennium of hibernation, the mythical beast awakened.


    It''s movements as it slowly woke up from its hibernation sent real earthquakes wrecking through the beast ne.


    BOOM!


    BOOM!


    BOOM!


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    When it finally roared, the whole Elemental ne was taken by storm.


    The roar was not without power, a massive surge of frost energy followed the eruption. All the digging Frost Giants that were close by did not survive the frostbite despite their affinity as they turned into blocks of ice.


    The reaction was sudden and unexpected, King Nagakin may not have expected it but he knew beforehand that getting the mythical beast would not be easy and was why he prepared his army on standby.


    The floating roar of another beast challenging the mythical beast reverberated the next moment, but no one paid attention to it.


    "Charge!"


    "Injure it and restrain it!"


    This was Yeti territory but King Nagakin already forgot all his misgivings, for the mythical beast, the Frost Giants were willing to take every risk.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    With incredible momentum, the Frost Giants charged deep into the snow through the hole that they already dug as they intended to corner and restrain the mythical beast before it could fully recover ande out to free space.


    Their actions were calcted but they forgot something, this was not their territory but someone else''s, the Yeti Monsters didn''t settle here for settling sake.


    As soon as he heard the roar, the Yeti Elder instantly understood.


    "ROAR!!!"


    Today seemed to be a battle of roars, the Yeti Elder''s guttural roar reverberated through the world of snow like the beating drums of war, and every single Yeti far and wide responded to the roar of their elder.


    For the first time in centuries, the Yeti Elder left his ice hut.


    "Nagakin, you have overstepped your boundaries!"


    This old and gigantic Yeti stepped out of his ice hut. With each step, the ice element itself seemed to respond to him, as a Grade D Yeti, this was a predator at the very pinnacle of this Ice Elemental ne.


    The Frost Giants did not back down, Nagakin had no intentions to.


    "You''ve upied the wrong territory all along old chap, give it up!"


    Nagakin grabbed his War Axe as starting with slow steps, he started jogging towards this gigantic Yeti. "Amon, lead the warriors, make sure you capture it!"


    He barely spoke before another roar reverberated.


    "Roar!!!"


    After this roar came arge booming sound that eclipsed all the others. The next moment, a massive earthquake took ce as the ice started shattering from its very core like something extremely powerful wasing out of it.


    Nagakin''s eyes widened. "He fully woke up so fast?"


    The next moment, the mythical beast broke out of the ice.


    BOOM!


    Debris, snow, and ice filled everywhere after the breakout.


    When everything finally died down, the culprit stood on top a massive ice rock as his powerful green eyes filled with menace observed everyone present.


    This beast was massive, far bigger than Leo.


    Its ck fur stood as a sharp contrast to the surrounding white of the snow, its ears stood as sharply as antennas as its menacing green eyes watched even as it growled, revealing its set of teeth that seemed sharper than sharp itself.


    It''s ws even in inactivity were already shattering the ice rock that it stood on top, they were sharper than the sharpest sabers.


    It had the body of a wolf but far more gigantic and menacing.


    King Nagakin''s eyes narrowed. "A Snow Fenrir!"


    Due to King Olirium''s brief encounter with the beast, he didn''t know its race, only knowing through its aura that it was a mythical beast. King Nagakin and his subordinates were the first Frost Giants to see the mythical beast.


    The Snow Fenrir''s green eyes after observing red at the culprit that disturbed its healing hibernation, it growled as the temperature turned chiller.


    The next moment, the sound of someone bowing to the ground reverberated. The Elder of the Yeti race bowed. "Lord Snow Fenrir!"


    King Nagakin''s eyes narrowed. "You know him?"


    Then his eyes finally widened in understanding, everything started making sense but neither of this was able to stop his already burning ambition.


    By now, they all already detected the current level of this mythical beast. Despite hibernating for over a millennium, the Snow Fenrir had only been able to recover its powers to the pinnacle of the Grade D realm.


    "We stand a chance!"


    "Frost Giants, stand with me and let''s im our price to Dominion!"


    After his greeting, the Snow Fenrir turned to look at the gigantic Yeti as its eyes remained in a ring state.


    The Snow Fenrir said only one sentence. "Death to all disruptors!"


    The Yeti Elder stood up as his originally blue eyes turned red, he conjured a gigantic Ancient Ice Spear out of nowhere the next moment as he stared at the Frost Giants. "A debt owed is a debt that must be paid".


    He turned to his Yeti subordinates, they understood their elder''s intentions without words, instantly, all the Yetis became tense, instantly entering war state.


    An oppressive atmosphere filled the air.


    For the first time since the Ice Elemental ne was separated from the main Elemental ne, a full-blown out war was about to start between the 2 ruling races.


    A feeling of doom filled the air all around the Ice Elemental ne.


    Just the trigger was needed to start this destructive war.

 Chapter 187 War Between The Frost Giants And The Yeti Monsters!

    King Nagakin red at the Yeti Elder who now led his race against him.


    With their vastly different eyes ring at each other, King Nagakin kept on adjusting his ice War Axe in his hand even as the Yeti Elder remainedpletely still like stone with his conjured Ice Spear on his hand.


    None of them needed to speak, their eyesmunicated their unwavering desire that would push them to start a war no matter the costs.


    The oppressive atmosphere in the air was so strong that for a brief moment, an absolute silence dominated the air until one of them made the first move.


    With one stomp of the Yeti Elder''s right leg, a vibration spread through the snow. As King Nagakin looked down at his legs, he roared.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    This time, the Yeti Elder did not just roar for its sake, a power followed it as he activated an ability of his that he usedst during the desperate war over domination of the Ice ne more than a millennium ago.


    With this roar, a strange power swept through all the Yetis in the Ice Elemental ne. Instantly, the red glow of their eyes intensified as they all roared.


    In the blink of an eye, the aggressiveness of all the Yetis increased exponentially even as their power increased by almost double.


    No catalyst was required anymore, their aggressiveness kickstarted the war.


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    With incredible momentum and energy, all the Yetis obeyed the orders of their Elder as without hesitation, they charged towards the Frost Giants.


    The sounds of their massive legs colliding with the snow reverberated loudly.


    As soon as they started charging, Amon looked at his King onest time before giving the order. The Frost Giants responded as they also charged towards the Yetis, they collided after just 2 seconds of sprinting.


    Boom!


    Apart from the physical impact of their sh, there was an icy impact as a great amount of frost energy was generated by both sides and destroyed.


    Without hesitation, the war kickstarted.


    Having kept their animosity towards each other beyond their fragile understanding, now, the Snow Fenrir broke this bnce as the Frost Giants and the Yetis went all out in war for the first time in their incredible history.


    As the mes of battle raged, the 2 leaders red at each other.


    "You will regret this!"


    King Nagakin said this through gritted teeth as he ignored the battle raging all around him, then he started jogging strategically towards his opponent.


    The Yeti Elder looked at him then he took a step and roared.


    "Yeti Bloodline Ability: Ice Beam!"


    The sound reverberated loudly, dwarfing all other sounds in this battlefield.


    From the chest of this gigantic Yeti, a massive beam of freezing energy was shot out straight at the King of the Frost Giants but Nagakin saw it on time.


    With his Ancient War Axe, King Nagakin blocked.


    The impact of the Ice Beam may have been barely withstood by King Nagakin, but definitely not the surroundings. The shockwaves made the snow cave in even as it spread into the surroundings, killing both Yetis and Frost Giants.


    When Grade C monsters go all out, this was the scene that followed.


    The powerful energy powering the freezing energy beam pushed King Nagakin back, but this veteran Frost Giant warrior had something else in mind. With one simple side-step, King Nagakin evaded the rest of the Ice Beam.


    Apart from evading, blocking the Ice Beam with his Ancient War Axe made arge amount of ice energy to now gather in his weapon.


    As soon as he evaded, aiming at the Yeti Elder, he mmed his war axe down.


    "Frost Giant Ability: Axe-Ice Destruction!"


    Whoosh!


    The Axe barely started descending before fractures started appearing in the air, battle between Grade C powerhouses could already affect the airspace.


    The fractures barely started appearing before the Yeti Elder made his second move, he opened his mouth wide then he breath at his opponent.


    "Frost Ability: Freezing Breath!"


    The air visibly started crystallizing from the sheer amount of frost energy now gathering in it as both abilities collided in an intense affair.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    This time, King Nagakin''s ability came out from the sh on top.


    Taking advantage of his sudden momentum, King Nagakin leaped. One leap was all it took for him to bring the battle to close range, but the Yeti Elder was not afraid of him as he weed him with opened hands.


    He grabbed his conjured Ice Spear tighter and a sh of titans began.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Each time they shed, it was like rumbling thunder.


    The snow and terrain all around them were destroyed, their subordinates died from the shockwaves of their attacks but none of them lowered their tempo.


    The war raged fiercely.


    ¡­


    After the roar, not just Christensen and de, Legs was also shocked.


    The subsequent earthquakes that rattled this ice ne sent a lot of ideas through these 3panions, but they stood their ground as they watched for the next urrence. They watched until all 4 Yetis became berserk again.


    As soon as the roar of a distant Yeti reverberated through the air, all 4 Yetis became berserk as like brainless soldiers, they charged into the distance.


    The only reason why Christensen was not dead was because he dodged out of their path right on time.


    While Legs still cracked his brain to think of the beast that caused the consecutive earthquakes, his virtual interface lit up a notification.

    "The outside influence as the reward? What''s the outside influence?"


    "Huh?" Legs''s 2 students turned to look at him.


    Legs was about to speak when his attention was drawn elsewhere.


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    Clearly, it was not only the Yetis that were summoned. At this moment, from different areas all over the Ice Elemental ne, gigantic Frost Giants sprinted through the snowy terrain as they joined the slowly expanding war.


    Legs turned to face his 2 students. "A war is going on".


    "A war?" Christensen was surprised.


    "Yes, a war between the 2 leading apex races of this Elemental ne".


    "Should we leave?" de asked with narrowed eyes.


    Legs turned to look at him. "In normal situations, I would say we should leave but not now, we have things to benefit if we go".


    "Follow me".


    Without hesitation, Legs mounted Predator as with Lucky''s Society following him, he sprinted away into the distance. At this moment, he missed the utility of the yers, unfortunately, they could not enter this ne yet.


    He and his students rode deeper into the Ice Elemental ne.

 Chapter 188 Might Of The Snow Fenrir!

    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The battle continued raging fiercely.


    Blood was already flowing like a river as warriors from both races started dying. Despite the fact that most of the Frost Giants'' body were made of ice, they still had internal bodies made of flesh and blood that now bled.


    As for the Yetis, they were fully flesh and blood monsters.


    The war between these 2 races spread far and wide. The whole Ice Elemental ne suffered due to their war, they were that powerful.


    The Yetis stood their ground, not only defending their territory and the Snow Fenrir but also fiercely retaliating against the Frost Giants.


    The battle between King Nagakin and the Yeti Elder continued raging.


    Both of them were already injured even as the terrain around them suffered but unwilling to ept defeat to the other, they kept on stepping up their game, increasing the intensity of their duel to ridiculous levels.


    At the short term, none of them were the winning side.


    Legs and his students arrived to meet this rowdy battlefield. They dared not stray too close to the battlefield, they were content with watching from afar.


    Sweeping their eyes through this already enormous and constantly expanding battlefield, all they saw was doom, destruction, and death.


    Seeing Frost Giants and Yetis dying like chicken, witnessing the incredible scene of their 2 Grade C leaders battling to the death, it was all incredible but their breath was truly stolen when they saw it.


    Despite all the death that was happening at this moment, the Snow Fenrir was still nonchntly perched on the ice rock as its cold green eyes watched calmly.


    Like the god of death, it watched all the death and savored the scene.


    Seeing the familiar body of one of the mythical beasts that he appealed for months to be added to Dominator, Legs was stunned into stillness, and this was when his virtual interface lit up again.

    ----


    "Holy Smokes!" Legs''s eyes widened in horror.


    Meeting a Grade B beast at this levelpletely blew his mind.


    While Legs spaced out a bit like he was reading something unknown to them, Christensen watched his master attentively. After staying with him for months, he already understood some of his shenanigans.


    His exnation was that this was Legs''s way of probably observing and analyzing all variables that presented itself before him in any situation.


    He may be right but what he didn''t know was that it was Legs''s virtual interface that did most of the observation and analysis.


    As soon as Legs eximed, his 2 students freaked out as they looked at him. Legs took deep breaths to calm himself before looking at them.


    "That beast is a mythical beast, a Snow Fenrir¡­"<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    As Legs spoke, a crazy idea slowly starteding into his mind, the next moment he looked at Christensen with a maniacal look now on his face.


    "¡­" Christensen shuddered as his master looked at him.


    Legs grinned. "Are you crazy?"


    Christensen shuddered again. "I-I don''t understand".


    "Are you ambitious?"


    "Yes, I''m ambitious". Christensen rapidly nodded his head as he already had an inkling of the crazy idea that was going through his master''s head.


    "As my student, you need to be as ambitious as me". Legs spoke with all seriousness. "A Snow Fenrir is a beast of the highest of bloodlines, he is a beast with a bloodline equaling Predator''s".


    "If I didn''t have Bran yet, I would have gone for it".


    "As my student, I want you to have him".


    Legs red at his student. "You must have him!"


    Christensen shuddered. "Yes sir!"


    "Good". Legs grinned as a crazy look came over his face.


    His 2 students felt chills crawling down their spines. They have seen many facets of their genius master, but this facet of him, this was one that they had never witnessed before, Legs at this moment was like he was possessed.


    Christensen looked ahead at the ck beast as the chill in his heart grew colder, it''s aggressive aura alone left him feeling likemitting suicide. "B-but¡­, but Master, how am I supposed to¡­?"


    Legs turned to look at him, shutting him up. "You don''t need to do it alone like before, this is a strategic mission".


    "But¡­"


    "We''re not powerful enough to subdue it?" Legs grinned as he felt an urge tough maniacally like the Clown. "I may not be the best but one thing I''m sure of is that when I''m ambitious and motivated, I can do everything".


    "My ambition and curiosity led me to 3 sessful careers as a zoologist, martial artist, and game producer".


    "What''s that?"


    "It doesn''t matter". Legs grinned. "What matters is that I now have a 4th upation as a Summoner, in essence, what I''m saying is, trust me".


    He looked ahead as his eyes gleamed sharply.


    "Today, I require the both of your attention and obedience more than ever before. With it, we can subdue this beast and make it ours".


    "Of course, we''re not powerful enough to beat it but¡­, the strongest is not always the winner. If it was so, the tortoise would have never beaten the hare on a race, what we need most at this moment is patience".


    "Wait with me, let''s bide our time, the window of opportunity will open".


    "Stay sharp, I need you both at your 150% when it finally opens".


    de and Christensen became serious as they looked ahead at the ck beast that looked like a Giant and more menacing version of Leo with ck fur.


    "Besides¡­" Legs smiled. "I trust the motivation of the Frost Giants".


    "They won''t let themselves be defeated without a struggle worthy of their title as the overlord race of the Ice Elemental ne for the past few centuries".


    So there 3panions stayed in the snow as the war raged, biding their time, waiting for that elusive window of opportunity to kickstart their suicide mission. Legs''s curiosity and motivation were at an all-time high.


    As they watched, after 2 hours of battle, King Nagakin finally gave the order.


    "Amon do it, we can''t lose the future of our race".


    As soon as his King ordered it, this pinnacle Grade D assistant briefly had a sad expression on his face but the next moment, his eyes shone in conviction.


    He opened his storage ring and brought out an ancient potion that reeked with undead energy. Amon closed his eyes then he ingested the potion.


    5 secondster, his eyes turned green as signs of rot started appearing all over his body, Amon the Frost Giant became a Zombie Frost Giant with only one objective in mind, capturing and restraining the Snow Fenrir.


    Despite the cost, the gains were that he now had Grade C strength.


    "Roar!!!"


    Amon roared as he charged towards the Snow Fenrir.


    While all this happened, the Snow Fenrir''s green eyes observed it all nonchntly like a movie. As soon as Amon became a Zombie, his eyes constricted as he turned to look at the Yeti Elder who was still entangled with Nagakin.


    The next moment, with an annoyed look, this mythical beast stood up.


    The ice rock shattered under the force of his ws as soon as he stood up. As soon as hended on the snow, he roused his energy as the next moment a gigantic ball of ice that seemed to have magical properties appeared.


    Far away, Legs''s eyes constricted. "The Ice ne''s core?!"


    The next moment, the Snow Fenrir ruthlessly swallowed the core of the Ice Elemental ne. Instantly, his power experienced a ridiculous surge, increasing all the way by half a grade to the Grade C- realm.


    The consequence of this was that the Ice Elemental ne started crumbling apart.


    With its core lost, the Ice Elemental ne lost its building blocks that held it together. Every living being that was here at this moment was already on a time limit to leave before the nepletely fractured.


    With his new strength, the Snow Fenrir red at the massive Zombie.


    Snow Fenrir and Zombie''s eyes shed, sparks seemed to ignite in the air.


    The Snow Fenrir finally spoke another word. "Death to all disruptors!"


    He took a step¡­


    BOOM!

 Chapter 189 The Snow Fenrir Vs Zombie Amon!

    The sounds of the Ice Elemental ne crumbling apart reverberated.


    The war between the Frost Giants and the Yeti Monsters already sessfully rubbed every living beast in the Ice Elemental ne. All across the Elemental ne, even as earthquakes urred at some parts, other parts started melting.


    It was like the Ice Elemental ne was experiencing a heavenly tribtion.


    Beasts that were not fast enough to escape the areas of impact lost their lives to the effect of this Ice Elemental ne losing its element core.


    While crisis overtook the Ice Elemental ne, the war raged on.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Even as the war raged around them, the gigantic Snow Fenrir and Zombie Amon were not affected. Their stare down to battle was brief, Zombie Amon didn''t allow it to drag as he was already charging towards the Snow Fenrir.


    After swallowing the element core of the Ice Elemental ne and digesting its energy, the Snow Fenrir no longer hesitated, it exploded forward with speed.


    Compared to any of the beasts and warriors here, the Snow Fenrir was a beast of apletely whole other level. As a Grade B beast in his prime before his fall, he had ess to special abilities far exceeding their understanding.


    Even though he couldn''t ess his 2 other affinities, he was still powerful.


    And even though because of his current weakness he could not ess some of his peak abilities, the few that were avable to him were still over the charts.


    He activated one of his special abilities as he exploded forward with speed.


    "Special Frost Ability: Atmospheric Freezing!"


    The Snow Fenrir barely started moving after he activated this ability before it seemed like a gift from the god of frost descended from heaven, a gift in the form of a glowing ball of white mist.


    As soon as the ball of white mist descended, it shattered in pieces.


    With it''s shattering, its misty contents were exposed into the surroundings.


    Whoosh!


    All of a sudden, it seemed that time and space seemed to freeze for a few moments as the misty contents rapidly spread.


    A cold wind blew the next moment which was quickly followed by the mist dissipating into the surroundings, following this mist was a ridiculous amount of frost energy that seemed capable of freezing anything in its path.


    Its potency dwarfed the Freezing Breath ability of the Yeti Elder.


    Even the airspace seemed to be freezing as frost signs appeared in the air. The powers of these Grade C beasts werepletely terraforming the Ice Elemental ne already, turning it into a colder and more menacing environment.


    Zombie Amon could not shrug off the potency of this special ability, after just the initial contact, this gigantic zombie was frozen from head to toe.


    Only his gigantic green eyes barely moved inside its icy cage.


    As soon as Zombie Amon was frozen, all his defenses became rendered useless before the Snow Fenrir. This old monster was not na?ve enough to pity his opponent, he ruthlessly took advantage of this opening.


    After activating a movement skill, his speed rapidly increased to a high level.


    Only a white afterimage was left in his wake as he charged forward, the sound of his ws padding against the snow reverberated like thunder.


    Mid-sprint, the Snow Fenrir activated another ability that coated his gigantic body with an ice armor filled with spikes. With this spiky ice armor, he charged towards Zombie Amon, ramming into him with the force of a Bull.


    Boom!


    The sound of impact was like exploding dominoes.


    After enduring the initial force, the final force came with even more momentum that swept Zombie Amon off his feet, shattering his ice cage.


    As soon as the ice cage shattered, Zombie Amon coughed a lot of blood and bled. Mid-air as the force of collision still carried him away, the Snow Fenrir leaped into the skies as he sprinted after the Zombie in the air.


    Icy steps appeared in the skies, acting as tforms for him through which he sprinted across the skies at this moment.


    Mid-air, he used another of his deadly special abilities.


    "Special Frost Ability: Atomic Cancetion!"


    The Snow Fenrir''s eyes were cold and filled with menace, he had no intentions of prolonging this battle, every moment that he fought affected him since he was still in a recovery phase.


    As soon as this ability was activated, a temporary silence seemed to spread through the entire battlefield as a feeling of doom filled the air. The next moment, mid-air, the Snow Fenrir pounced on the still unstable Zombie Amon.


    Crunch!


    With one terrible bite to the neck, he inflicted the Atomic Cancetion which took effect instantly. The next moment, a strange force field appeared.


    This force field surrounded Zombie Amon as multiple smaller versions of the force field infiltrated inside the body of this gigantic Zombie.


    The strange energy fieldpletely nullified the electric field holding the atoms of this gigantic Frost Giant together, the effect was immediate.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Like it was a movie, Zombie Amon grunted softly as the next moment this gigantic being with undead energy started disintegrating from within and turning into dust in a spooky and crazy disy of superhuman power.


    In just a few seconds, Zombie Amon turned to dust.


    But that was not the end, like every other elite zombie out there, one thing about Zombie Amon was that he had an incredible amount of vitality.


    Even as he turned to dust, he was not dead.


    The fragments left by his dust gathered together again after just a few seconds as theypletely reformed this Zombie and brought him back to life.


    "Roar¡­!!!" Zombie Amon roared as he charged towards the Snow Fenrir.


    With 2 of his greatest special abilities that he had ess to right now not working, the Snow Fenrir''s eyes narrowed but he didn''t change his dynamic as he simply changed his mind to turn this struggle into a battle of attrition.


    If fast-paced battle could not do it, a grinding grueling battle would do.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Zombie Amon stood no chance, the Snow Fenrir dominated this battle as itsted for hours but this crazy Zombie simply refused to die.


    It kept oning back to life and it seemed to get stronger each time.


    The Snow Fenrir did not despair by this urrence though, in the super world, thew of conservation of energy also applied.


    Mana cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only be converted from one form to the other but every creature also had limits to the mana that they could use. The Snow Fenrir believed that the zombie had a limit and this kept him going.


    The battle was intense, even eclipsing the intensity of the battle between the Yeti Elder and King Nagakin as the terrain around the battlefieldpletely changed into a ruin simr to that of an ancient race.


    The warsted 3 days without a clear winner being found.


    In this time, the Ice Elemental ne was already at its final breath, about to die having lost its element core. Snaking purple lightning moved through the exposed skies, chaos already filled the sky even as the ground opened.


    As Grade C powerhouses, they had the stamina and mana required to fight for 3 days straight. And it was after this that changes starteding to this battlefield, signs of exhaustion and slowing down finally showed on the Zombie.


    Noticing these signs, the Snow Fenrir capitalized on it.


    He already felt humiliated to be battling this Zombie for 3 days, in his prime, a sneeze was all that was needed for him to snuff the life out of this zombie.


    Unfortunately for him though, he had to adapt to his current strength.


    As the Zombie grew weaker, he finally used another special ability.


    "Special Frost Ability: Molecr Inhibition!"


    As soon as he used this forbidden ability, the fate of the Zombie seemed to have been decided. With a touch, all the movement of molecules in the Zombie''s dead body seized, causing them to lose all energy and crystallize.


    The Zombie soon turned into a dry crystallized husk.


    "Roar!" The Snow Fenrir roared the next moment, activating another ability.


    With a loud sound, the Zombie shattered into a thousand pieces but this was not his end yet as though far slower than before, the particles still started moving towards each other in a bid to merge and form the Zombie again.


    As for the Snow Fenrir, he could no longer attack immediately.


    After that attack, he also showed signs of exhaustions.


    From afar where he watched the battle for 3 days and nights without sleeping with bloodshot eyes, Legs''s eyes gleamed as he saw this. "Finally!"


    For 3 days as he watched, without saying a word to his students, he strategized on how to get the most benefits from this war.


    After 3 days, he arrived at a n to deal with the Snow Fenrir. Of course, his chances of sess were still below 10% but Legs was ready to take that chance.


    He turned to face his students. "I am about to create a potion".


    "I have all the ingredients except the heart of a Snow Deer and the genitals of a Nine-lives Cat".


    "¡­" Christensen stared at his master dumbfoundedly. "They exist?"


    "Yes, and some live in the Ice Elemental ne".


    "I want the 2 of you to go bring me these 2 ingredients".


    "Yes Master".


    As they left, Legs brought out his cauldron as he stole a nce at the still intense battle and the Elemental ne which was already close to total death.


    "I have to work fast". He threw the first ingredients in the cauldron.

 Chapter 190 Master Alchemist Legolas

    Boom!


    Each booming sound that reverberated were signs of this dying Elemental ne. Originally, after losing its element core, the Ice Elemental ne was supposed tost a week before dying but its expectancy time was reduced.


    Its time was reduced due to the battle that ravaged through its body.


    Each sh from these Grade C beasts and monsters elerated its death, the gigantic collisions of energy rapidly ate at its vitality.


    In the end, the beasts at the lower spectrum of the food chain suffered the most. Most of the beasts already died as the world died, the few others had nowhere to escape to as they just kept on running like headless chicken.


    Far away from the heart of the war between the Frost Giants and the Yeti Monsters, a small ck cat with glowing purple intelligent eyes watched alertly.


    For some reason, it felt like it was being watched.


    As the feeling grew, making it feel more ufortable, it finally decided to escape but it was already toote, its hunters made themselves avable.


    Whoosh!


    With Poseidon''s Fury, de rushed out in pursuit of the cat.


    Riding on top Leo with Brutus following behind, Christensen reprimanded the Shadow Hound even as he helped de to hunt the cat.


    Like Brutus, the Nine-lives cat also had shadow affinity.


    As soon as it felt the Pugilist energy eruption, without hesitation, this cat already opened a small shadow portal to slip away but Brutus was one step ahead.


    Like a cop, Brutus nabbed the cat before he could escape, turning the shadow energy in the portal chaotic as it dissipated into chaotic shadow energy.


    The cat panicked at first but its expression changed as for the first time since feeling the Pugilist energy, it finally turned around to look at its hunters as its intelligent purple eyes flickered.


    A question entered this cat''s mind. ''The world is dying, shouldn''t these humans be also thinking of escaping? Or can they¡­?''


    Its eyes shone in understanding the next moment as the look which it gave the humans changed, then the next moment it surrendered and bowed its head.


    de''s eyes widened in surprise on seeing the action of the cat, he was confused but the cat detecting this rified before he could be killed.


    "Human, what do you want with me? I will help you, just don''t kill me".


    "¡­" de and Christensen looked at this cat in confusion.


    de became alert the next moment. "Is this a reverse-psychology trick?"


    The cat calmly looked at them. "It is not".


    "We want your genitals". Christensen finally spoke.


    "¡­"


    The cat was taken aback at first but he soon nodded.


    de''s eyes widened. "You''re willing¡­?"


    "Yes". The cat answered before he could finish. "I am a cat with Nine lives, even if you take my genitals, all I need is to sacrifice one of my lives and I will be reborn as aplete cat with genitals again".


    "What do you want?" de''s eyes narrowed.


    "Master is waiting". Christensen urged him.


    "Wait". de was the patient one this time.


    The cat looked at this human, then at the surrounding world. "As you can see, I have no future in this world anymore".


    "I''ve seen you humans in action before, I know you can leave our ne. Help me escape the disaster befalling my world, and in exchange not only will I willingly give you my genitals, I promise to also be your pet for life".


    de''s eyes widened in surprise.


    "Master is waiting". Christensen urged.


    de finally nodded his head. "Deal".


    ¡­


    Sizzle!


    Loud sizzling sounds reverberated as Legs worked on 2 potions.


    Working as fast as he could withoutpromising the integrity of the potions, he already seeded in making them, only the final ingredients from his students were required for these 2 potions toe to life.


    These 2 potions were some of the most potent potions that became avable to yers inter versions, the Life-drain reverse potion and the Ice Dragon.


    They were called potions, but they had the effects of poisons.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    The Life-drain reverse potion worked like a poison, when ingested into a beast or human through any means, instantly they enter the bleeding state. Every second, they lose ridiculous amounts of health till death.


    The only cure was the Ultimate Vitality potion. The Life-drain and Ultimate Vitality potion were imed after Version 3''s main viin was killed.


    As for the Ice Dragon potion, it only worked on beasts with frost affinity and once ingested, it worked like the chaotic mana bullets. Like a poison, it infiltrates a beast''s DNA and messes with their natural control over the ice element.


    As Legs observed for 3 days, cracking to the deepest parts of his brain, these were the best 2 alternatives that he arrived at to subdue this mythical beast.


    And even with all these, he was still not confident.


    Legs looked ahead at the battlefield where the Snow Fenrir still dominated, then at King Nagakin''s battlefield.


    At this moment, the Frost Giant King and the Yeti Elder were both already exhausted and terribly injured but they still fought.


    He looked at the Snow Fenrir again, then he looked back and not seeing his students yet, he made a decision. "I need it as myst gasp n¡­"


    Legs opened his storage ring again as he got prepared to make a pill. This time, the ingredients required to make this pill werepletely off the charts but luckily for him, he had them all.


    His hobby of collecting herbs and rare materials as he travelled finally started paying its merits in full today that he needed it the most.


    15 minutester, de and Christensen finally returned with the heart of the Snow Deer and the genitals of the Nine-lives cat.


    By now, Legs already made the pill and stored it in his storage ring.


    As soon as his students arrived, Legs grabbed the ingredients.


    He gently ced the heart of the Snow Deer into the cauldron containing the Ice Dragon potion, then he did the same to the cauldron containing the Life-drain reverse potion with the genitals of the Nine-lives cat.


    The Ice Dragon potion became ready first as it turned into a milky white color, Legs poured most of them into a bottle and the rest into special syringes that he made some time ago specially for scenarios like this.


    As for the Life-drain potion, itspletion was moreplicated.


    The contents of the cauldron sizzled as soon as they made contact with the genitals of the Nine-lives cat, an aggressive chemical reaction took ce.


    Legs was ready though as he calmed the raging contents of the cauldron with his Summoner energy, expertly manipting it to avoid an explosion.


    A few minutester, the contents of the cauldron turned pitch-ck like the night sky without the stars.


    A sinister aura and smell came out of this potion, no one recognized the smell of this potion except the only beast that came from outside Darvis, the Snow Fenrir''s eyes constricted in shock as soon as he detected the smell.


    Its menacing eyes turned to look at Legs, Legs felt a shudder run through his soul like he was looking at god himself but he onlyughed away the feeling, he patted himself on the chest and epted the challenge like a man.


    -----


    Warning! You have been marked by the Mythical Beast: Snow Fenrir!


    ----


    Legs epted the challenge but he was not foolish, the extreme reaction of the Snow Fenrir to his potion did not escape the detection of the other Grade C powerhouses of this battlefield except Zombie Amon.


    Legs made a sign with his free left hand to his students.


    "It''s time".


    "Stick with me and follow my lead".


    Legs looked up at King Nagakin who now looked at him through the corner of his eyes, then he dered his allegiance. "I am on your side!"


    "I am a Master Alchemist, I specialize in making potions and poisons".


    "I''ve studied Mythical Beasts for years and tracked traces of the Snow Fenrir here, over the years, I researched ways on how to subdue and kill it".


    "The poison that I created is lethal to him, help me let''s kill it!"


    Legs spouted all this nonsense with a straight face.


    King Nagakin did not answer, he was too preupied with his battle to but his silence was all the consent that Legs needed to make his move.

    The adrenaline of the danger he was plunging into filled Legs''s body like drugs, stimting all his senses.


    He grinned. "It''s now or never".

    ----


    The loud cry of a Raven reverberated the next moment.


    As soon as Bran charged out of the beast ne, Legs did not hesitate as he jumped and seamlessly fused with the Void Raven. With one p of his massive wings, he rose into the skies with incredible speed.


    He was not leaving his beasts and his students though; this battle scenario was a special one that neither he nor his students had faced before.


    To seed and not die, they needed to be smart and think outside the box.


    This scenario pushed Legs to the limits of his cognitive abilities.


    As soon as he rose into the skies, he activated the Commander of the Herd ability as the special power of his Summoner energy swept through Lucky and all the Foxes in her herd, instantly empowering them.


    This ability could not affect them before but after Lucky''s nagging and his God of the Herd ability worked on her, it started working on them.


    As soon as the Cohesion Battle passive ability activated, it was like all the Foxes under Lucky developed a telepathic connection that helped them.


    Their connection and understanding with their Commander increased to a ridiculous level, and this was when Legs addressed them.


    "Redmane, I leave the safety of the Foxes to you".


    "All I want from you is support, support me in my ambitious n, I intend to¡­" Without hesitation, he summarized his n to the Fox.


    Still in the air, he turned to his 2 students.


    "Christensen, de, the both of you should stick with the Foxes".


    "Don''t dare die on me".


    "de, you''re allowed to ride on Predator and battle on his back as your mount in this battle, we need every advantage that we can get".


    Legs looked at Christensen from the skies. "Remember, we are Summoners, we are not most lethal due to our strength but our intelligence".


    "When in the heat of the action, I can''t really trust much in my judgement".


    "When you feel I''m wrong, don''t hesitate to correct me".


    Then Legs grinned. "Don''t worry, we''re not dying today".


    "We''ll be celebrating our victory and gains this time tomorrow".


    After addressing his entourage, Legs finally left them to their devices as he focused on the matter at hand. Feeling the power from Bran flowing through his body, he pped his wings onest time.


    Whoosh!


    Legs was off towards the battlefield where the Snow Fenrir caused havoc.


    Having fused with Bran, Legs''s speed was crazy, it took him just a short while before he arrived before the battling Snow Fenrir and Zombie Amon.


    Following thest orders of his King, despite the fact that Amon would definitely die after this battle, he clung to his King''sst orders as he constantly harassed the Snow Fenrir, not giving it any opportunity to attack.


    "Frost Ability: Winter des!"


    From the skies, Legs watched the Snow Fenrir like an Eagle. Having witnessed what the Snow Fenrir was capable of already with Zombie Amon, he was already at 150% concentration to react to any move of his opponent.


    Despite being tied down by Zombie Amon, this irritated and exhausted Snow Fenrir was still able to arouse his powers to attack Legs who flew in the skies.


    As soon as he activated his ability, Legs saw it and responded.


    -----


    You have activated Special Ability: Eyes of a Hundred Void Ravens!


    You have activated active ability: Rapid Speed


    You have activated active ability: Blink


    ----


    Bzzz!


    Instantly after the hundreds of Winter des appeared in the skies, a hundred Void Ravens exactly like Bran appeared in the skies as they now served as alternative eyes for Legs which he could also use to attack.


    With 101 of himself now soaring in the skies, everything became easier for Legs. Despite the sheer number of the winter des, through the eyes of all the Void Ravens, he was able to effortlessly track all their trajectories.


    With the Rapid Speed active ability, he moved as fast as a specter.


    Legs was not content with just dodging in the air though, after a test run of his battle readiness in the air effortlessly dodging the des, then he used the Blink ability which enabled about 20 Void Ravens to appear before the Fenrir.

    Legs''s sudden change in pace waspletely off the charts.


    It was like he was riding a Toyota Camry before but suddenly switched into thetest model Ferrari supercar, the speed, efficiency, everything waspletely off the charts as for a brief moment, the Snow Fenrir was caught off-guard.


    Legs''s cold eyes filled with killing intent shone from all Void Ravens.


    This mythical beast may have been a Grade B Snow Fenrir in its peak, but that was not enough to deter Legspletely. At his own peak, Legs was stronger, he was a peak Grade A Summoner at his peak.


    All the experience of that did not just disappear, Legs went all out this time. The sounds of his spam attacks hitting their target reverberated like thunder.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The familiar frost armor covered the Snow Fenrir''s skin, protecting it from the attack barrage even as Zombie Amon kept on attacking it.


    What it didn''t expect was Legs''s incredible ns for him.


    With 100 Void Ravens in the air, when they all activated the Eye of Truth special ability, Legs literally became an eye god in the air.


    He was able to prate the tight defense of this Snow Fenrir, seeing the window of opportunity open and trust Legs, he did not let the window of opportunity pass. Legs did not just attack, he mixed something else with it.


    2 syringes wereunched with incredible momentum towards the Snow Fenrir. Feeling the sudden danger, the Snow Fenrir reacted.


    It twisted it''s body in a way where the little opening was covered, one of the syringes hit the frost armor as it shattered but the other and less dangerous one went all the way in, prating the skin of this mythical beast.


    As soon as the syringe prated, it instantly discarded all its contents.


    The Ice Dragon potion went to work instantly.


    Like usual, the Snow Fenrir tried to erect another ice shield to stop the suicidal charges of Zombie Amon but this time he calcted wrong, his trusted frost powers failed him for the first time as the ice shield merely flickered.


    BOOM!


    For the first time in 3 days, Zombie Amonnded his first major blow on the Snow Fenrir as this gigantic beast was thrown away while coughing blood.


    "Roar!" The Snow Fenrir roared loudly in pain and anger.


    The sight of this mythical beast''s blood shocked the battling warriors of both races, all eyes for a brief moment focused on the existence that now dominated the skies, among these eyes were King Nagakin''s.


    "Roar!!!"


    Angered even more, the Snow Fenrir kited Zombie Amon and tried to prey on Legs but with his incredible concentration, he saw everything.


    "Special Frost Ability: Atomic Cancetion!"


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Blink


    ----


    Bzzz!


    ? Like a bug, Legs disappeared and appeared, his main body survived the incredible assault as over 40 of his Void Raven clones were annihted.


    The Snow Fenrir tried to attack again but it met other resistance.


    "Zorro, charge!"


    "Lucky, luck!"


    "Vixen, illusion!"


    Redmane''s roars in this battlefield reverberated like thunder.


    Zorro was the only Fox that could take a head-on attack from the weakened Fenrir and survive, and if he was hit by one of the Fenrir''s special abilities, with Lucky''s incredible luck, Zorro had a chance of surviving.


    As for Vixen, though they barely worked, her illusions could annoy the Fenrir more. All the Foxes bravely went to war on Redmane''s orders.


    They were not alone, from afar, Predator threw attacks.


    Leo also attacked from afar with his frost powers.


    Brutus simply made sure that the Snow Fenrir was unable to get a good target on any of hispanions, their teamwork was incredible at this moment.


    Like Legs demanded, they moved and attacked at 150% concentration.


    Knowing the danger, they dared not lose concentration, at this moment, all of Legs''spanions were literally perfect as they executed their parts in this incrediblebination attack to a fault, exposing no openings.


    Despite his overwhelming strength, for a brief moment, the Snow Fenrir was overwhelmed as he could notnd a lethal damage on any of them.


    This was Legs''s n, this was Legs''s masterpiece.


    And with Zombie Amon adding his own trouble, the Snow Fenrir became too preupied to focus on any one opponent, shock spread through this battlefield.


    The Yeti Elder and King Nagakin could barely believe what they saw.


    Seeing this scene, something that already died previously revived in King Nagakin''s heart, hope revived in him. Seeing the strength of the Snow Fenrir originally made him give up already, but Legs''s disy gave him hope.


    If an outsider could do this, then if they worked together, they could do more. Without him knowing, he already bought into Legs''s cooperative n.


    The next moment, King Nagakin grabbed his Ice War Axe with both hands as he activated a primordial ability of his that was only avable to Frost Giant Kings.


    "Frost Giant Royal Ability: Gene Liberation!"


    "From snow I was made, to snow will I return, I am snow!"


    The next moment, this gigantic Frost Giant King transformed, turning into aplete snow man as he lost most of his living characteristics. With this transformation came an even more incredible surge of energy.


    BOOM!


    King Nagakin roared as the incredible power surged through his body.

 Chapter 192 The Desperation Of A Trapped Beast

    "Frost Giant Royal Ability: Gene Liberation!"


    King Nagakin''s transformation into a literal snowman changed himpletely, his horns coated by the golden Ancient weapon were the only other parts of his body that did not be snow-made.


    The Gene Liberation ability of Frost Giant Kings was ast resort ability, this was because of the terrible side effects that followed it.


    King Nagakin literally sacrificed all his blood to activate this special ability.


    He no longer cared about the side effects though since the young human and his friends'' performance already rekindled his hope.


    His motivation to subdue the Snow Fenrir increased to the peak again.


    "Roar¡­!!!"


    King Nagakin roared as he grabbed his Ice War Axe with a tighter grip.


    For 3 days, the Yeti Elder had been holding him from participating in the big battle that really mattered but not anymore. With his incredible surge of new energy, King Nagakin already felt in tune with the ice element itself.


    Feeling his opponent''s new energy, the Yeti Elder felt threatened.


    Gathering his remaining mana, he desperately attacked.


    "Yeti Bloodline Ability: Ice Beam!"


    Once again from the chest of this gigantic Yeti, a massive beam of freezing white energy was shot at the King of the Frost Giants but King Nagakin unlike before didn''t see any reason to dodge the incredible attack this time.


    BOOM!


    The attack mmed into its target with incredible momentum.


    King Nagakin felt the impact as the incredible Ice Beam cut a hole through his abdomen, continually dealing even more damage to him but unlike before, King Nagakin reacted nonchntly to this lethal attack.


    Blood did not flow, only snow and ice scattered into the surroundings.


    He didn''t even grunt in pain as with a simple sidestep, he exploded forward with speed, smoothly evading the Yeti Elder as he took advantage of his height to casually push the gigantic Yeti aside.


    As he sprinted towards his real target, what gave him confidence finally became evident. After bing a snowman, he no longer bled.


    He became one with the snow, his injuries healed rapidly.


    The void that was left in his abdomen by the Ice Beam started healing rapidly andpletely healed in no time. This attack didn''t stop his momentum.


    The Yeti Monster, desperate that he already lost his opponent tried to cling to him but this was a decision that he grew to regret.


    Whoosh!


    The Yeti Monster barely moved before King Nagakin''s gigantic Ice War Axe swept backwards. The Yeti Elder could not react on time, the incredible momentum and timing of the Axe enabled it to effortlessly chop off his right hand.


    As blood flowed like a fountain, this Yeti Elder grew extremely weak.


    Having fought such a formidable opponent for 3 days straight, he was already exhausted, losing his handpletely drained his remaining energy and stamina.


    With the Yeti Elder now out of the equation, King Nagakin could finally set his eyes on his real opponent. He looked ahead at the raging battle, his pitch-ck eyes narrowed as he took a step and threw his War Axe.


    The gigantic Axe traveled through the air like a space rocket.


    The timing was impable, the Snow Fenrir could not dodge it. Preupied with Legs, his friends, and Zombie Amon already, King Nagakin joining the equation became a problem too strong for the Snow Fenrir to cope with.


    Boom!


    With incredible impact force, the War Axe cut into the Fenrir''s hide.


    Blood flowed like a fountain even as Legs rushed to add more mes to the fire by using the Life-drain potion, the Snow Fenrir feared the potion more than the others though as it protected itself tightly from any openings.


    This cautiousness from it prevented it from countering the King of the Frost Giants while he was still at range distance, and with nothing hindering him forward, King Nagakin finally arrived.


    He grabbed his War Axe and dragged it out of the Snow Fenrir.


    With King Nagakin arriving, the Snow Fenrir finally became outnumbered and outmatched. Completely aware that his current state was temporary, King Nagakin dared not hesitate as he gave Zombie Amon a new order.


    "Go Berserk!"


    Zombie Amon shrieked loudly the next moment as its rotting body became extremely hot, the Zombie started burning its tissues for more strength.


    Completely aware of what was about to happen, Legs reacted fast.


    "Christensen, lead everyone away from the center of the battlefield".


    Redmane didn''t need his reminder, as soon as the King of the Frost Giants charged closer, he already understood as he ordered all the Foxes to escape.


    Whereas previously they could only hinder the Snow Fenrir and harass it from attacking at full strength, now the intent was to really subdue this beast.

    With one p of his wings, Legs escaped into the skies right on time for him to escape the area of impact of the intense battle that followed.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    King Nagakin and Zombie Amon shed fiercely against the Snow Fenrir.


    Thinking about his losses and the loss of his most trusted advisor, King Nagakin attacked with a vengeance. These 2 warriors for the next few minutespletely pounded the Snow Fenrir as it roared for help.


    From afar, surrounded by Frost Giants already, the Yeti Elder watched this battle with a helpless look on his face.


    He wanted to help but his body was already failing him.


    Looking around, he saw the corpses of Yeti Monsters lying all about this ne. Then he looked at the world, the Ice Elemental ne was already close toplete fracturing, he could no longer go on.


    He closed his eyes then he made a decision.


    "We''ve suffered enough".


    "A debt owed have been paid, we won''t go extinct to pay a debt".


    The next moment, he opened his eyes and red at the other Yeti Monsters as he roared. "My children, follow me to a new ne let''s start anew".


    "Yeti Bloodline Ability: ne Teleportation!"


    Bzzz!


    A gigantic teleportation portal appeared the next moment.


    Following the orders of their Yeti Elder, all the Yeti Monsters started charging into the teleportation portal to escape the fracturing Ice Elemental ne.


    None of the Frost Giants stopped them, they all already understood that their real targets were the Snow Fenrir. In no time, all Yeti Monsters escaped.


    Even as he was embroiled in battle against 2 extremely powerful opponents, and a bird who constantly harassed him from the air, the Snow Fenrir was still able to see it when his only allies in this battlefield abandoned him.


    His anger boiled even more aggressively but he could do nothing.


    After losing their secondary opponents, all the Frost Giants sprinted closer as they cornered the Snow Fenrir.


    No matter how strong and experienced the Fenrir was, when the numbers advantage was so ridiculous, there was very little that he could do as he could only be thrashed and beaten.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The battle was intense and bloody.


    Despite trying his best, despite killing another dozen Frost Giants despite being cornered, Legs finally saw another rare window of opportunity.


    Already embroiled in fighting the Frost Giants, the Snow Fenrir briefly forgot the bird above his head. One impable drop from Legs did the job, the syringe perfectly fell on the Snow Fenrir''s skin and discharged its contents.


    The Snow Fenrir whimpered in shock and fear for the first time.


    -----


    You have injected your target with the Life-drain reverse potion!


    Snow Fenrir has entered the heavily bleeding state!


    Calcting life drain ording to opponent''s stat¡­, please wait¡­


    Calctionplete


    -5,000 Health Points every second


    ----


    The Snow Fenrir''s eyes widened in despair as its vitality started draining.


    With this concern came a greaterck of concentration in the battle, King Nagakin tookplete advantage of it as hepletely cornered the Snow Fenrir with his subordinates until they finally restrained it.


    The Snow Fenrir''s eyes reflected anger as he was restrained.


    They soon started reflecting a craziness and pride.


    As a Snow Fenrir, this beast was extremely prideful of his bloodline. Rather than be the servant of a lowly Frost Giant, he would rather die.


    The Snow Fenrir''s desperation of a trapped beast stimted its bloodline at this moment as a limit that was set due to its current weakness was briefly shattered, instantly, the Snow Fenrir recovered an affinity of his.


    Legs''s virtual interface instantly lit up a notification.


    -----


    Warning! The Snow Fenrir has recovered the Space affinity!


    ----


    "What¡­?" Legs''s eyes widened in shock.

 Chapter 193 The Snow Fenrirs Rampage

    -----


    Warning! The Snow Fenrir has recovered the Space Affinity!


    ----


    As soon as Legs saw this virtual interface notification, his eyes widened to their limits likenterns in a dark night in shock.


    He didn''t even look down again at the trapped Snow Fenrir, with his students already safe far away from the main battlefield as the Frost Giants trapped the Fenrir, he focused on escaping for his life.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Blink


    You have activated active ability: Rapid Speed


    ----


    Bzzz!


    As soon as the void energy opened the tiny portal in the air, Legs dived into it as this took him from close proximity to the Snow Fenrir.


    Whoosh!


    After blinking and escaping close proximity with the Snow Fenrir, Legs was not satisfied yet as he pped his massive wings and flew higher into the air.


    The Frost Giants were surprised at the human''s sudden maneuver, but they gave no heed to it as they continued attacking the Snow Fenrir. It didn''t take them a few seconds longer to understand Legs''s decision though.


    "Roar¡­!!!"


    This time, the Snow Fenrir''s roar of desperation was filled with power.


    -----


    You have been affected by a Space Affinity Ability: Space Push!


    ----


    Despite already leaving close proximity, Legs still felt it.


    Bzzz!


    The eruption of the aggressive Space Power sent ripples of shock through this battlefield, King Nagakin did not expect it, neither did his warriors.


    Having lost most of his control over the frost element already, and the 2nd potion weakening it, they already thought they won the battle, they never expected such an unexpected development from the Snow Fenrir.


    Since the Snow Fenrir was trapped in the middle tightly, unable to retaliate, it was why his first instincts after recovering his space powers was the Space Push ability that had the ability to give him some breathing space.


    None of the Frost Giants could withstand it, with space itself pushing at them, they lost bnce as they were blown away with the wind.


    Even King Nagakin was also blown away but the Snow Fenrir was not done.


    This mythical beast with his space affinity already had the ability to escape through teleportation, but its pride could not let it live peacefully without retaliating after such humiliation from the Frost Giants.


    He was bent on revenge to restore his dignity and pride.


    As soon as he finally recovered himself, the Snow Fenrir went on the attack.


    "Fenrir Bloodline Ability: White Winged Fenrir!"


    Instantly, this mythical beast started undergoing his own transformation.


    His eyes remained a menacing green but the color of his body changed from ck to white, apart from this, his main transformation was the pair of massive Eagle Wings that now appeared in his back.


    The Snow Fenrir finally looked the part as a beast with frost affinity.


    He did not only recover his Space Affinity, this recovery also extended to some of his bloodline powers which made him even more fearsome now.


    After this transformation, the Snow Fenrir pped his massive wings.


    His green eyes narrowed and focused on King Nagakin, this Frost Giant King felt his heart skip a beat as he felt like he was already marked for death, he instinctively defended with his Ice War Axe.


    The Snow Fenrir pped his massive wings again.


    "Fenrir Bloodline Ability: Death-Eye Lock!"


    "Space Ability: Space Pull!"


    "Fenrir Bloodline Ability: One-hit Kill!"


    The Snow Fenrir went all out this time, its energy red powerfully.


    As soon as the Space Pull took effect, King Nagakin could no longer control his body as he was pulled. That was not all, the One-hit kill Fenrir Bloodline ability took effect which was the Snow Fenrir''s current most lethal ability.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Bzzz!


    The space shifted, it swallowed the Snow Fenrir as he disappeared.


    Bzzz!


    In less than a fraction of a second, the space shifted again as the Snow Fenrir arrived directly behind King Nagakin. At this moment, the Snow Fenrir already grew arge Unicorn-horn that glowed in a menacing red color.


    With this horn, it charged and stabbed at King Nagakin.


    If it made contact, without a doubt, King Nagakin would die. The One-hit kill bloodline ability of the Snow Fenrir could not be countered or even defended.


    Tensions rose in the air as the eyes of this Frost Giant King widened. He tried to move his body and escape but he could not, it was like he was trapped and frozen in space-time, this was the effects of the Death-Eye lock ability.


    King Nagakin''s eyes dropped sadly in despair. "In the end, I also lost¡­"


    Just before collision, a silhouette rushed closer¡­


    BOOM!!!


    The sound reverberated like thunder, elerating the destruction of this world even more as thunder and lightning appeared in the skies of this dying world.


    When the aftermath of the collision finally died down, King Nagakin was still standing, so also was the Snow Fenrir. The only anomaly was that standing before King Nagakin and the Snow Fenrir was a rotting body, Zombie Amon.


    Crack!


    At the nick of time, Zombie Amon rushed in and sacrificed what was left of his life to save his king. The one-hit kill bloodline ability worked from the atoms, this Zombie soon shattered into pieces.


    Before turning to dust, Zombie Amon regained his memories for a brief moment. As he died, he looked at his king. "For the Frost Giants!"


    Seeing this scene demoralized the Frost Giants but King Nagakin already jumped in too deep to escape now, he was ready to go all the way through.


    "We can''t stop now!" He yelled at his warriors.


    "We need to subdue and tame it to avenge Amon".


    "Don''t fear its ability, an ability like that cannot be used frequently".


    With this belief, King Nagakin grabbed his Ice War Axe tighter as he exploded with speed towards the Snow Fenrir.


    Despite his incredible strength and despite recovering his Space Affinity, the Snow Fenrir was still weak. Not only from Legs''s lethal potions, but also from the fact that he had been battling for 3 days.


    His mana was already nearly exhausted and his health kept decreasing due to the lethal effects of the Life-drain potion, still, he was a dangerous opponent.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The battle restarted and raged as King Nagakin alone led the charge.


    From the skies, Legs watched everything then he looked at his surroundings, his eyes narrowed. "At this rate, no clear winner is yet decided¡­"


    "Besides, this world wouldpletely shatter in an hour at most".


    Legs had never been under so much pressure to think fast, despite already feeling slightly lightheaded too, he was relieved because he had onest gasp n.


    Legs essed his storage ring and brought out the pill that he concocted.


    "I''m already in it, I can''t escape it any longer".


    "It''s now or never".


    Legs threw the pill in his mouth and swallowed it.


    Instantly, there was a reaction not only in his energy exploding outwards like a tsunami as a new aura appeared on this battlefield, but his eyes turned red.


    Veins popped all over Legs''s body as the effects of the pill started.


    This was a special pill that he concocted using the blood of powerful Grade D monsters extremely close to the Grade C realm already, mostly the Skull Necromancer''s Named Skeleton summons.


    The effects of the pill were ridiculous.

    ----


    Legs grinned.


    His virtual interface remarkpletely emphasized the choice that he just made. With the Blood Sacrifice Pill, he just sold his next 2 months for immediate strength but to him, if his n worked, it was all worth it.


    Legs''s sudden surge in strength attracted the attention of everyone present, including the Snow Fenrir as they watched him in shock.


    Legs paid attention to no one, still in the air, he set his countdown.


    >Countdown to Ice ne''s Destruction: 51 Minutes<


    Legs''s eyes narrowed. "I need to be done in at most 45 minutes".


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Rapid Speed


    ----


    Whoosh!


    Compared to before, Legs''s speed increased exponentially. With one p of his wings, he seemed to break the sound barrier as the air visibly cracked.


    The air cracking may perhaps also be attributed the Ice Elemental ne''s destruction, but it was also testament of Legs''s current speed.


    This time, he was not going alone though.


    In the air, as he rapidly glided towards the battlefield where the Snow Fenrir fought with the legion of Frost Giants and the Frost Giant King, hemunicated his intentions to Predator.


    ''Come closer, it''s your turn to participate on this battle".


    "Roar!"


    From afar, Predator''s mighty and enthusiastic roar reverberated. This excited Nightmare Beast unceremoniously threw de off its back as it charged towards the battlefield, having full faith in its master''s decision.


    As soon as Legs moved, the Snow Fenrir became alert.


    Though Legs was only a Grade D Summoner, the few times that he made a move, the Snow Fenrir already grew to respect and fear him. In his opinion, this little human was his most dangerous opponent on this battlefield.


    Now that Legs got Grade C strength, he feared the human more.


    He was not wrong, Legs''s knowledge simply made him a cheat.


    Whoosh!


    As soon as the wind above it blew, this Snow Fenrir felt its rm bells ringing.


    Despite being fought aggressively in a suicidal manner by King Nagakin and his legion of Frost Giants, despite being preupied with this, he gave attention to Legs as he activated 2 of his special abilities at the same time.


    "Frost Special Ability: Atomic Cancetion!"


    "Space Special Ability: Spatial Destruction!"


    Bzzz!


    For a brief moment, a god seemed to descend on the airspace as it was squeezed, expanded, and torn apart in a great disy of Space power.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Eyes of Truth


    ----


    Mystical runes appeared in Legs''s eyes, and with this special ability, he saw the invisible power of frost atomic destruction spreading through the air.


    He also saw the invisible loopholes of the expanding spatial destruction.


    Legs was still incredibly concentrated at this moment as he gave Bran hisst orders. ''Bombard him with ranged attacks''.


    The next moment, Legs and the Void Raven separated.


    Through Bran''s incredible Eyes of Truth, he was able to bypass the danger point of the Snow Fenrir''s incredible abilities, allowing him to fall through without a single speck of injury on his body.


    He didn''t just fall though, Predator was already waiting for him below.


    -----<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration


    ----


    "ROAR!!!"


    As soon as they fused, Predator experienced Grade C power for the first time in his life. No matter how fast and versatile Bran was, when it came to power, Predator was still Legs''s OG for the ultimate power blows.


    As soon as Predator roared, on his new body, Legs jumped into the center of the battlefield. His Summoner energy already extended up, augmenting Bran as the Void Raven spammed ranged attacks from up in the air.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: w Barrage!


    You have activated active ability: Lethal Bite!


    You have activated Special Ability: Veil of Darkness!


    You have activated Special Ability: Berserk Nightmare Beast!


    You have activated Special Ability: Energy Drain!


    You have activated Special Ability: Disintegrate!


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master!


    ----


    Legs did not hold back, he made use of Predator to his fullest potential as the inclusion of this incredible beast instantly turned the tides of this battle.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The Snow Fenrir was hammered till senselessness as he bled incessantly.


    With King Nagakin and his Frost Giant army, despite recovering its Space Affinity, having fought for 3 days already and due to its injuries, this incredible mythical beast was already spent.


    Legs''s inclusionpletely erased all its chances of emerging victorious, this injured Snow Fenrir finally tried to escape.


    "Special Spatial Ability: Space Teleportation!"


    Bzzz!


    The teleportation portal barely opened before it fizzled out of existence, the Snow Fenrir''s eyes widened in shock and despair.


    He looked ahead at the distance where its eyes shed with the Red Fox''s eyes, Redmane''s eyes were cold and calcting as he red back at this Snow Fenrir without fear, the Fenrir''s eyes dropped in despair.


    Redmane had Shadow and Space affinity, though he rarely used his Space affinity, when he felt the need to, he could use it.


    He stopped the Snow Fenrir''s teleportation, and another factor that made it easier for him was the deteriorating space of this dying world.


    "Roar¡­!" The Snow Fenrir roared in despair.


    As the minutes passed, it''s strength kept on deteriorating rapidly.


    The Snow Fenrir deteriorated in strength so much that he could no longer erect a simple Ice Shield as he copsed on the snow weakly.


    King Nagakin was ecstatic, he yelled at his warriors. "Chain it!"


    Without hesitation, the Frost Giants went to work in chaining the Snow Fenrir. While all this happened, the mythical beast tried to struggle to no avail.


    As he was slowly put in chains, his eyes flickered ominously as he made an incredible decision. For over a millennium, he endured hibernation due to the sole purpose that he could recover to his peak and get his revenge.


    Now, it seems he could no longer get his revenge. He was sad but he already made his decision, he had pride, he would rather die than be a ve.


    As he was slowly chained, he gathered his energy for one explosive masterpiece of art. He would go down in an iconic manner, taking all his opponents explosively with him.


    As he gathered his energy, King Nagakin did not detect it, only Legs did.


    "Brother,e help". King Nagakin invited Legs to help chain it.


    "Coming". Legs smiled as he essed his storage ring again.


    The next moment, he brought out another cauldron as with the deft hands of a Master Alchemist, he started throwing ingredients into the cauldron.


    Sizzle!


    The Soul Suppression Pill was one of the legendary few 2-seconds pill. In just 2 seconds, Legs concocted a new pill. King Nagakin did not understand the aura but when the Snow Fenrir felt it, it''s eyes widened in shock and even more fear.


    It stared at Legs from the ground. "Who are you?"


    "I am a man from the future".


    Legs sprinted closer as the Snow Fenrir brought its n forward. It ruthlessly exploded its energy in a bid to self-destruct but Legs got there first as he forced the pill inside the mouth of the Snow Fenrir.


    Since it was chained, it could not struggle.


    And with his Summoner energy, Legs made it digest it fast. Instantly after digesting it, the Snow Fenrir''s raging energy that tried to explode calmed down.


    The aura of the Snow Fenrir became far less menacing and weak.


    Legs''s eyes shone as he turned to look at hispanions far away.


    "NOW!"


    All of them moved, like Legs hoped, everything went ording as he nned, now was the time to implement thest phase of the n.

 Chapter 195 Countdown! [2]

    -----


    You have fed the Snow Fenrir with the Soul Suppression Pill!


    Calcting suppression¡­, calctionplete


    You have suppressed the soul power of the Snow Fenrir by 3 levels!


    The Snow Fenrir''s soul power is now at the Grade E level!


    ----


    "What are you doing?"


    "¡­" Legs ignored the Frost Giant King.


    "What are you doing?"


    "¡­"


    "What the hell do you think you''re doing?!"


    "¡­"


    "WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING?!"


    King Nagakin''s voice reverberated like thunder as he took a step closer towards the human while wielding his Ice War Axe.


    Legs fearlessly turned to look at him then he smirked.


    "Quit acting like a fool, we knew each other''s intentions from the onset".


    "I know you never believed my act from the beginning".


    "You knew that I came with ulterior motives, and you also had ulterior motives, we both had ulterior motives so no need for the pointless questioning".


    Legs looked at the Frost Giants that worked hard to keep the Snow Fenrir chained. "Your major mistake was thinking you could outsmart me".


    "When you called me toe help with chaining the Snow Fenrir, I knew your n. Your warriors were arranged in the Olirium doom battle formation, if I entered, I would have been doomed, you would have ruthlessly killed me".


    "¡­"


    Legsughed. "No need to be speechless, I know history, even that of other races like Frost Giants and the Ancient Dragons".


    As he heard the little human say all these, King Nagakin no longer pretended as he stared at the human with killing intent now oozing from his body.


    "So, what do you intend to do?"


    "What do you think?" Legs smirked. "Take what belongs to me off course".


    "You rat! You dare!"


    King Nagakin stomped down on this human with his gigantic leg.


    Legs only smiled and made his move.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    "Awoo!" "Awoo!" "Awoo!"


    The howls of hundreds of wolves soon filled the Ice Elemental ne.


    Having received a prompt from his master long ago, Ak already had the elite warriors of his pack ready waiting for the signal for action from his master.


    As soon as Legs opened the rainbow bridge, all the wolves jumped through with him. 600 fully-grown Wolves jumped through the rainbow bridge and appeared in the Ice Elemental ne to fight with their master.


    Most of the elite wolves that came were Grade D Wolves.


    The unfortunate fact for the Frost Giants was that this was not all, Legs did more with his current Grade C level Summoner energy.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Commander of the Herd


    ----


    As soon as Legs''s Summoner energy spread through all 600 Wolves that appeared through the rainbow bridge, an incredible scene took ce.


    Unlike before, Legs was no longer a Grade D Summoner. With his temporary Grade C power, all 600 Wolves were empowered to the extent where they more or less became Pseudo-Grade C Wolves.


    600 of such Wolves was a nightmare to any opponent.


    After dodging King Nagakin''s stomp, while the Frost Giant King looked at the Wolves with a stunned look on his face, Legs looked back at him with a smirk on his face as he finally gave themand.


    "Attack!"<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    This one word meant a lot to the Wolves.


    Without hesitation, on hearing it, they all charged at the much more gigantic Frost Giants. Legs did not need them to fight or annihte the Frost Giants, all he needed from them was to defend him while Christensen did the thing.


    de arrived right on time to mount Ak.


    On top the Alpha Wind Wolf, de rode into battle as he started ughtering these gigantic beings that were much more enormous than him.


    Unlike the Yeti vs Frost Giants, this was not a war, it was a ughter.


    With 600 Pseudo-Grade C Wolves, the Frost Giants stood no chance as they were ughtered like pigs. With the Wolves taking care of most of the problems, Legs focused on helping his student to im the ultimate prize.


    With a few other Wolves led by Predator now holding the chains to pin the Snow Fenrir down, Christensen fought his dread and climbed on top this beast.


    It took all his courage to climb the beast, and it took even more for him to activate the active ability, Christensen activated the Beast Contract ability.


    "Roar¡­!!!"


    Of course, the Snow Fenrir was not about to take that without a fight.


    This enormous beast roared as it struggled fiercely but Predator and the other Wolves that held its chain remained steadfast, despite its struggles, the Snow Fenrir could not do much as a foreign soul encroached on its soul.


    At this moment, he felt like a little girl that was being vited.


    Due to the Soul Suppression pill, he was helpless to fight back. For the first time in this beast''s life, he felt what girls that were harassed felt, that helplessness to fight back, it was draining and extremely traumatizing.


    Despite his feeble struggles, Christensen remained steadfast and determined. Since hearing it from his master, Christensen had prepared himself for 3 days for just this moment, he was already more than prepared.


    His concentration and effort were at a ridiculous level as he fought with the Snow Fenrir''s soul that simply refused to sumb without a fight.


    The only reason why Christensen was not sessful yet was because of the Snow Fenrir''s depth. As an experienced Grade B veteran for a long time, despite being at the same level, its soul power was still better crystalized.


    Despite this advantage though, he could only resist, not ovee.


    King Nagakin ignored his warriors that were being ughtered as he watched this moment, before his eyes, the eyes of the Snow Fenrir finally closed.


    When it opened its eyes, its wings retracted inside as its skin turned back to their original ck color. The Snow Fenrir returned back to normal and not only that, after over a millennium of independence, it finally got imed by someone.


    On this day, history was made by a Summoner.


    A chilling silence spread through this world as the deed was done.


    After the deed was done, Christensen became too weak, he fainted.


    Legs was ready though, he went to help and support his student as he fed him a soul recovery pill for him to recover from his exhaustion.


    Apart from that, Legs finally brought the Ultimate Vitality potion that he had concocted some time ago as he fed it to the Snow Fenrir.


    About a minuteter, the Snow Fenrir finally became normal again but within this minute, King Nagakin already made his next decision.


    Seeing his subordinates being ughtered by the Wolves, King Nagakin knew that they stood no more chance, he no longer hesitated. "Retreat!"


    "Follow me!"


    The Wolves pursued the Frost Giants all the way till they arrived at the teleportation portal that they created through which they escaped.


    After 3 days of this unfruitful war, the once prosperous Frost Giant race was left with only less than 100 warriors that escaped outside the dying world.


    As soon as the Frost Giants left, they scattered the teleportation portal, trapping its remaining inhabitants within it.


    Legs did not care much though, he looked at the time.


    >Countdown to Ice ne''s Destruction: 9 Minutes<


    He turned to face the Snow Fenrir with urgency on his face.


    "I am your master''s master, open a teleportation portal".


    "I can''t".


    "¡­" Legs was stunned.


    "What do you mean you can''t?!"


    Christensen finally woke up due to Legs''s loud voice, on seeing his master and hearing the Snow Fenrir repeat it, he supported him.


    "He is now too weak to open a teleportation portal".


    Legs turned to look at Redmane.


    "I can''t, I only retained a few of my space affinity abilities".


    Legs despaired but the Snow Fenrir spoke again. "There is only one way¡­"

 Chapter 196 Countdown! [3]

    A few minutes earlier¡­


    As soon as Christensen ced his hand on the head of the Snow Fenrir, he felt a resistance unlike anything that he had experienced before.


    Despite its soul power already being suppressed to the Grade E realm, this was still a mythical beast that had lived over a millennium, it would never be easy to tame and eventually contract such an old monster beast.


    The resistance was fierce but Christensen held on, having prepared himself for 3 days already, he was not about to give up due to some resistance.


    In the real world, it felt like less than a second but in his mind, it felt like minutes. Seeing his tenacity, the Snow Fenrir took a different measure.


    The Snow Fenrir pulled Christensen into the orange contract world of Grade D Summoners where the real submission process takes ce.


    Originally, after the first contracting process, the chances of a Summoner being dragged into the contract world was slim but not with the Snow Fenrir.


    Also, during Christensen''s first contracting process to get Leo, his rich parents paid in gold for a potion to prevent him from being dragged into the white contract world. The potion worked and he easily contracted Leo.


    This also contributed to why the Snow Fenrir easily dragged him in since he never had the experience of the contract world beforehand.


    Bzzz!


    As soon as Christensen arrived in this massive orange world, he was lost due to his inexperience as he saw only the Snow Fenrir as his opponent here.


    The Snow Fenrir at this moment already transformed into its white form with wings again, and due to some reason, it seemed as big as the world.


    He looked like an ant before the Snow Fenrir at this moment.


    Christensen panicked. "What is this?"


    "Master never told me about this".


    "DIE HUMAN!" The Snow Fenrir roared the next moment and attacked.


    Boom!


    Christensen stood no chance, he was ttened to death from one stomp of the Snow Fenrir. He literally experienced the traumatizing feeling of dying.


    A secondter though, he spawned again in this orange world.


    Feeling his instinct direct him, he looked down at his hand to see a line erasing. At this moment, 9 lines were remaining in his right hand and attributing it with the fact that he just died, he made the calctions.


    "These are my lives?"


    "DIE!"


    BOOM!


    Christensen could not resist, he was stomped to death again.


    On respawning, he was frustrated. "How do I resist? How do I fight?"


    The Snow Fenrir did not respond as he just kept on yelling die while stomping Christensen to death. After 4 deaths, the realization that he was about to fail his master and his younger brother despite their efforts settled in.


    His eyes widened in denial and fervent aggression.


    "I can''t lose!"


    "Not after getting this far¡­, I must get you!"


    "YOU MUST SUBMIT!"


    "YOU MUST SUBMIT BEFORE ME!!!"


    Christensen abandoned his fear as he charged at the gigantic Snow Fenrir, he tried to attack with his fists but he was ttened again.


    His charge was not useless though, the first step to victory was leaving his fear. Once he did this, Christensen finally understood the rules of this world, just like the Snow Fenrir, he could also manipte this world and use its powers.


    "Hahaha¡­" Christensenughed like a maniac.


    "It''s not my time to die yet".


    "Not until I overtake master".


    Bzzz!


    The next moment, he took control of this power as he turned himself into a giant that was as big as the Snow Fenrir.


    Then, a sh of titans started for real.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Christensen dead¡­


    Bam!


    Snow Fenrir dead¡­


    Bam!


    Snow Fenrir dead¡­


    The rules of this orange world relied on creativity. Your power depends on how creative you can be with the powers of the orange world.


    As he understood it more, Christensen gradually grew stronger.


    After killing the Snow Fenrir 8 times, it seemed that the veil covering the beast finally started opening to him. He was now able to peer deep into the soul of this opponent that fought him in the orange world.


    Christensenughed. "So you have a name¡­, Frigga".


    "ROAR!!!" The Snow Fenrir stayed angry.


    "Don''t worry, when you be mine, you''ll be in safe hands".<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Consequently, Christensen started dominating the Snow Fenrir. In the end, a Grade E soul power could not contend with that of the Grade D realm.


    At the Snow Fenrir''s 10th death, Christensen saw everything, Frigga''s life, Frigga''s hardships, Frigga''s adventures, his abilities, his power, everything.


    Due to this being his first beast entering the contract world with, without even finalizing it yet, Christensen already developed a greater connection with it after getting ess to the full story of its life.


    This was when Frigga''s eyes finally closed.


    Though in the real world this onlysted less than a second, to Christensen, this grueling experiencested hours which caused his exhaustion.


    ¡­


    As soon as the Frost Giants escaped, the countdown became more ominous. Legs was already at his wits end as both Redmane and the Snow Fenrir seemed to not be able to open a teleportation portal.


    He also tried opening the rainbow bridge that led to the beast ne but the airspace was already too fractured, he could not open it.


    The countdown waited for no man, it kept on counting, adding on to the pressure as Legs slowly became desperate.


    >Countdown to Ice ne''s Destruction: 5 Minutes<


    Legs felt likeughing. "What an irony¡­"


    "After all the legendary feats today, is this how we are going to end?"


    This was when the Snow Fenrir spoke again. "There is only one way¡­"


    Christensen struggled to stand upright as he looked at the Snow Fenrir. "Do you mean your bloodline ability that tore the Ice Elemental ne from the other 3 Elemental nes?"


    The Snow Fenrir nodded.


    Christensen''s face turned sour. "But¡­"


    Legs grabbed his student on the shoulder as he red into his eyes. "Tell me what the penalty of the bloodline ability is!"


    "Frigga would degrade by a full realm and have to start recovering again".


    Legs kept his gaze on Christensen''s eyes. "Onest lesson for you, no matter how strong you be and how valuable your power bes to you, when you face a choice of your life or your power, always choose your life".


    "Only the living can get power".


    "Only the living can get riches".


    "Only the living can get mythical contracted beasts".


    "Only the living has emotions".


    "Only the living can recover from an injury".


    Legs bumped his student on the shoulder onest time and turned around. "The choice is up to you; all our lives are in your hands".


    "Make the right choice¡­"


    After turning around, Legs looked at the expansive world of snow that spread as far as his eyes could see. The white snow no longer seemed as white, arge part of it was already red from all the blood that flowed for 3 days.


    The strong smell of blood diffused the air like an air freshener, batting at the senses of the survivors to remind them of the ughter that took ce here.


    All over the Ice Elemental ne, very few beasts were still survivors.


    And even the continuous survival of these survivors was not guaranteed.


    Legs sighed, closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the air, he didn''t regret his actions. "Despite all the odds that were against me, despite going against such monsters, my n worked, that is the essence of a Summoner".


    He was proud of his actions and what he achieved.


    He checked his time again.


    >Countdown to Ice ne''s Destruction: 2 Minutes<


    "Do it!"


    Christensen finally gave the order.


    Frigga stood tall the next moment as his ck fur gleamed under the icy breeze of this Elemental ne, he focused and started reciting an incantation in an Ancientnguage that stirred the powers of his bloodline.


    This was the incantation that he recited to cut off the Ice Elemental ne from the other Elemental nes, and it was the same incantation that he now intended to use to restore this Elemental ne to the others.


    For a full minute, he kept on reciting.


    >Countdown to Ice ne''s Destruction: 54 Seconds<


    Frigga kept on reciting.


    >Countdown to Ice ne''s Destruction: 23 Seconds<


    At thest 8 seconds, the incantation was finally finished.


    Bzzz!


    Instantly, Frigga felt a whole lot of power leave his body and seep into this world as from the very essence of this world, a remodeling started.


    Bzzz!


    The space cracked open, exposing a massive ckhole that sucked the Ice Elemental ne in the next moment.


    They all disappeared.

 Chapter 197 The Real Elemental Plane

    The real Elemental ne was essible to all Elementalists¡­


    Like Darvis and all the others were spherical in shape, so also was the Elemental ne spherical in shape until over a millennium ago.


    The Elementalists and Elemental beasts who witnessed the miracle imed to have seen God himself at work. At the edge of the Earth territory that bordered the Ice territory, they witnessed the hand of God.


    Like lightning striking through the air, they witnessed the mighty space knife slice through the Elemental ne like a hot knife through butter.


    This space knife divided one of the territories of the Elemental ne from the others. After cutting the Ice territory, amid the incredible convergence of space energy, a ckhole appeared that sucked the territory in.


    That was thest time that most Elementalists saw the ice territory.


    Some rumors say that ice Elementalists still have ess to the ice territory but they were merely rumors.


    Today in the Earth territory was like every other day¡­


    Thud! Thud!


    The thudding sounds as 3 Mud Rabbits escaped the pursuit of an Earth-kicking Ostrich reverberated through this world filled with rocks.


    With incredible speed and agility, they sprinted away from the predator.


    The Mud Rabbits desperately escaped until they finally made it to the refuge of their mud swamp. They were finally able to heave a sigh of relief.


    On jumping into the mud, they did not only reunite with their homies but they also retaliated against the Earth-kicking Ostrich. They controlled the mud to form lethal whips sharper than des which they attacked the Ostrich with.


    Frustrated, the Ostrich could only retreat for its life.


    At another side, a Golden Eagle rapidly swooped down from on top a rocky mountain after its prey with incredible momentum.


    The Brown Snake could not escape, the Eagle''s sharp talons gripped into its skin as it pulled its prey back up into the air, the snake could only il helplessly.


    On the way back to itsir on top the mountain, it met another Golden Eagle.


    Both Eagles shrieked as they fought over the prey mid-air. Amid their loud shrieks, they awoke one of the apex monsters here. The annoyed Stone Giant simply raised its hand up unknowing to the 2 Golden Eagles.


    They were fast but they did not detect the danger on time, once the Stone Giant caught them with its gigantic stone hand, it squeezed the living hell out of both Golden Eagles.


    Squash!


    Like shattered balls, their blood and mutted flesh sttered everywhere.


    This was normal life in the Elemental ne¡­


    As all the cannibalism took ce without any particr person blinking an eye to it, a crazy convergence of space energy suddenly appeared at the edge of the Earth territory where the Ice territory was cut off from.


    After the cutting off, what was left in its ce was an abyssal hole and a dangerous spatial anomaly that killed any Elemental beast that strayed into it.


    At this moment, with the space energy convergence came back the ckhole. Feeling the massive energy in disy, the Stone Giant was startled, it could no longer sleep as it stood up to look.


    Before the eyes of this monster, a familiar territory appeared from the ckhole. The Ice territory was rejoined to the Elemental ne.


    The Ice territory was not supposed to seamlessly fuse back with the others but with the incredible conjunction powers of Space, Shadow, Ice, and Frigga''s bloodline powers mixed together, everything worked.


    Like it didn''t leave in the first ce, the Ice territory was integrated back.


    Legs, his students, and their beasts witnessed this incredible scene with widely opened eyes. This was an incredible spectacle.


    Legs looked at his time again.


    >Countdown to Ice ne''s Destruction: 2 Seconds<


    The 2 seconds psed but the Ice ne no longer copsed.


    The damage from losing its core was still there but fusing back with the real Elemental ne prevented it from dying.


    The core of the Elemental ne like before effortlessly epted the ice territory back and supplied it with the energy that it needed to stay alive.


    Legs, his students, their beasts, and the few survivors of the ice ne watched incredulously as they were soon ovee by emotion.


    Despite everything, they all survived.


    "Roar!"


    "Awoo!"


    "Yeah!"


    Humans, beasts, they all celebrated their survival emotionally.

    Effects of Blood Sacrifice Pill has worn off!


    All your attributes have been reduced by 80%!


    [Penalty Duration: 2 Months!]

    Legs turned to look at Christensen and his new contracted beast.


    Unlike the aggressive, menacing, and extremely powerful Snow Fenrir that it was before, Frigga no longer looked the part like that intimidating monster.


    At this moment, after exerting so much, Frigga did not only decrease in size to Leo''s size like a normal wolf, his aura also reduced to the Grade E realm.


    This was the cost for the Snow Fenrir''s sacrifice.


    Christensen hugged the Snow Fenrir by the head and buried his head in his thick ck fur as he simply enjoyed the presence of the beast that he worked so hard for, they enjoyed each other''spany.


    Though he already experienced it twice with Leo and Brutus, Christensen still could not get used to it. The feeling of a beast that was so hostile to you suddenly bing so close to you was one he feared he would never get used to.


    Brutus and Leo slowly moved closer as they warily stared at the Snow Fenrir. Despite feeling the friendly aura from it now, both of them found it even harder to forget the beast that caused them so much problems.


    "Haha¡­" Christensen chuckled on noticing the reactions of his first 2 beasts.


    Feeling their wariness, in the end, it was Frigga himself who dragged them closer. After a millennium, this beast felt trust again.


    After such a long time, their connection to Christensen made them all allies and Frigga already had unconditional trust in them.


    Thinking of the incredible rampage of the Snow Fenrir and all the powerful elements in y and what a certain someone was still able to achieve, Christensen finally broke from the embrace with his beasts as he turned to face his master.


    He chuckled. "I still have a long way to go to get to your level".


    "I never expected your n to work so seamlessly".


    Legs smiled. "You never know the oue until you implement it".


    Christensen also smiled. "Thanks". He turned to look at his beasts. "For Frigga, for everything, thanks, I''ll never forget them".


    "I''ll be remembering that". Legsughed.


    "Thanks". de suddenly said.


    "¡­"


    Speechless, Legs turned to face his 2nd student. "For what?"


    "For making me your student". de said seriously.


    "The more I follow you, the more I realize how much simr I was to a frog in a well. During my short time of following you, I have gained powers that I never knew that I had ess to before".


    "My horizons also broadened a lot".


    He looked down. "I don''t know if I can ever repay this debt".


    "But I promise to try my best". He clenched his fists.


    Legs patted him on the back with a smile before turning to face Lucky who at this moment was looking far away into the ruins of the ice territory.


    On feeling his gaze, Lucky turned to look at him. "I have found it".


    "Found what?"


    "The location of the inheritance, I want to go".


    "Ahh¡­" Legs was surprised. "Where is it located?"


    "In the Extreme North, that way". Lucky pointed ahead.


    "I should escort you".


    "No". Lucky shook her head vehemently. "Finding it is a trial of sorts, I am only allowed to find it with the 7 Foxes in my entourage".


    "I feel like I got this inheritance only because I have all 7 of them". She turned to look at Redmane. "It seems you were right afterall in getting you all".


    Lucky turned back to look at Legs. "I''m leaving, give me your blessings".


    "¡­" Legs was caught off guard by that, he chuckled. "Goodluck".


    Lucky finally nodded in a satisfied manner and led her Foxes away.


    As soon as the Foxes left, Legs activated his Beast ne Summoning ability and sent Ak and the Wolves away. After that, he faced his students.


    "After what just happened, news will travel fast and the whole Elemental ne will be thrown into a frenzy soon".


    "We can''t stay in the open, we''ll be in danger if we do".


    "Let''s find a good hiding spot to stay, rest, and recuperate".


    "Yes, Master".


    They left deeper into the world of ice.

    ----


    It was already more than a week since they were left behind in the North.


    Discovering Legs ahead of the other game clubs was one of the greatest achievements that Blue River achieved for his club since Dominator wasunched.


    Since bing acquainted with this special NPC, the Blue Autumn team had benefited a lot as they were still the outright leaders of the current crop of yers who entered the game during version 1.


    It was only when Desert Gust arrived with the other pro yers of the Frost Trout team that they got their first realpetition.


    Despite all that, they still received more than enough benefits for their team to exceed all other yers already. It was only till a week ago when their faction leader and his students embarked on a mission deep into the North.


    Though Legs and his students didn''t need their help to deceive the 3 Frost Giants that were tasked to watch the teleportation portal, they still tagged along since Legs already epted them into his personal entourage.


    The mere prospects that they would soon be entering an entirely new ne sent these yers into a frenzy since they already experienced the beast ne.


    Unfortunately for them, they could not follow the NPCs.


    Their virtual interface lit up a notification.


    [You have not achieved the required level to ess the Ice Elemental ne!]


    [ess Limit: Level 20 and above yers!]


    At the time, Raining Sword was still only level 18 while Blue River and Ghost Sentry were both level 19. To meet the requirements and reunite with their faction leader, the Blue Autumn team made sacrifices.


    They decided to hunt together to gather experience points but to leave thest kill for only Raining Sword, Blue River, and Ghost Sentry.


    This way, all 3 of them got to level up faster and meet the limit.


    The Frost Trout team also used the same strategy to power-level Desert Gust. Despite their leveling speed as pro yers, without Legs''s freebies, it still took them a few days to arrive at level 20.


    Before they got ready to leave, they received the interface mission.


    And when they saw the 6 Red Master assassins appear on their mounts that corresponded to their codenames, all the yers felt a chill crawl down their spines. From what they observed, all 6 were extremely dangerous.


    Each one of them had the ability to annihte them singlehandedly.


    "Manchester f*cking united...!" Horny Assassin stressed in a muffled tone.


    Raining Sword red at him.


    "I''m sorry¡­" He apologized. "But we''re screwed".


    "Shhh¡­!" Ghost Sentry bonked him on the head.


    Horny Assassin was inconsble though. "Man¡­, real life and game are being miserable to me it seems".


    "The game does not want me to progress¡­"


    "As for real life, say no more, Ronaldo was f*cking sacked by Manchester United¡­" Tears flowed down this yer''s eyes.


    "And now, even Portugal has been eliminated from the world cup, damn¡­"


    Raining Sword looked at Blue River.


    Exasperatedly, Blue River went closer to Horny Assassin. Having understood his personality already, Blue River was able to smoothen his way into his head with sweet words and gently advise him to log out.


    Once Horny Assassin logged out, peace reigned again.


    In this peace, they started nning on how they should contact their faction leader and warn him about the assassination attempt on his life.


    None of them ever thought of betraying Legs, they already had firm belief that Legs was the main character of Version 1, they were sticking with him.


    In the end, they could not arrive at a n viable enough to bypass the assassins and deliver the news to Legs.


    For 3 days, they waited until the teleportation portal shimmered again.


    Having been waiting for this opportunity for 3 days, all 6 dangerous assassins got prepared but what came out of the teleportation portal was not what they expected. About a hundred Frost Giants charged out.


    All the Frost Giants were injured like they just suffered a fierce battle, as soon as they all arrived, King Nagakin deactivated the teleportation portal.


    Having heard of their alliance with the Frost Giants already, the assassins were baffled but Buffalo, their leader came out to meet them.


    "Why are you here?"


    "What happened?"


    King Nagakin looked at this human. "You belong to the Clown Society?"


    "Yes".


    This King exploded. "Why didn''t the f*cking Clown Society send their best warriors here? I warned them about the human that infiltrated!"


    This assassin''s eyes narrowed. "Sexy Chocte did all these¡­?" He gestured at all the injured Frost Giants as he spoke.


    "¡­" King Nagakin was speechless.


    In the end, he diverted the speech.


    "Take me to your leader, I will only speak with your leader".


    As powerful allies that were bought after serious negotiations by a ck Master, the assassins dared not refuse them. They escorted them from the North as they embarked on a journey to the Hellfire Mountains.


    The yers were left behind in the North but they felt even more miserable now. The teleportation portal was already nowhere to be seen.


    After days of farming to achieve level 20, now this?


    Blue River felt like crying. "We wasted our time".


    "F*ck!"


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    As soon as he felt the incredible surge of energy, ck Master Einstein opened a portal as he smoothly entered the Elemental ne.


    With calm eyes, he looked with palpitations in his heart as the Ice territory that was separated over a millennium ago was fused back with the rest of the Elemental ne, he was thoroughly shocked.


    His eyes narrowed. "What is King Nagakin up to?"


    On returning to the Hellfire Mountains, he received news from a messenger Raven from Buffalo about King Nagakin''s desire toe.


    His eyes narrowed even further. "He was not the one responsible for this?"


    "What happened?"


    "Who did this?"


    Amid his dilemma on the culprit that was responsible for this incredible disy of power, his student knocked before entering the room.


    Din bowed respectfully before rying the news to his master.


    "Master, news just came from our spies in the royal family".


    "They report that they''ve already achieved more than was demanded of them, they already have ess to King Tom".


    ck Master Einstein calmly smiled. "Good¡­"


    "Go prepare a proper wee for when the Frost Giants arrive".


    "Yes, Master".

 Chapter 199 Luckys Inheritance Adventure [1]

    To show their goodwill towards their allies, King Nagakin and his army of Frost Giants were allowed to enter their of the Clown Society deep in the Hellfire Mountains. This was also a show of force and power.


    By letting them all in, they proved that they were not afraid of them.


    Though he didn''t show it, King Nagakin obviously felt vulnerable. After his traumatizing encounter with the Grade D Summoner, he held humans in much more esteem now and this act intimidated him even more.


    Led by Din, he stood before one of the ck Masters of the Clown Society in no time inside the core parts of the secret hideout.


    King Nagakin frowned. "Where is Abaddon?"


    "My name is Einstein, and I will be speaking with you today". This ck Master smiled. "Clown and Abaddon have more urgent matters to attend to".


    Though he was not familiar with this human, King Nagakin had nothing toin about since he could already tell that ck Master Einstein was a level above Abaddon when it came to raw power and super energy.


    He guessed that this also meant higher standing in the organization.


    King Nagakin took a deep breath. "Why didn''t you respond to my warning?"


    "We did".


    "How?"


    "We sent assassins".


    King Nagakin narrowed his eyes. "Those 6?"


    "Do you think they are insufficient?" ck Master Einstein raised his eyebrows at this Frost Giant King''s reaction.


    "DEFINITELY!" This Frost Giant basically roared.


    ck Master Einstein calmly looked at him. "Tell me what happened".


    King Nagakin hesitated for a brief moment, then he thought about his fate and that of his race. They literally lost everything already, their home, their standing, the Snow Fenrir, he literally had nothing left.


    King Nagakin felt that he had nothing else to lose, his next best course of action was holding tight to the Clown Society in hopes of rising again.


    King Nagakin looked at this ck Master. "It was all the human, the one that your subordinates call the Sexy Chocte".


    "He yed me, he controlled the game and reaped all the benefits".


    "At times, it felt like he was capable of reading the future".


    "I was beaten at my own game".


    ck Master Einstein raised his eyebrows even further,ing from a Grade C powerhouse, this gave it a lot more gravitas.


    "It all started with my ambition to get a Snow Fenrir¡­"


    A few minutester, ck Master Einstein got the full gist of the story. Having witnessed the scene of the ice territory integrating back into the Elemental ne, he pieced all the loose ends together and formed a full story.


    He looked at the Frost Giant King. "In the end, he seeded".


    "What?"


    "I went to the Elemental ne; the ice territory is back¡­"


    Though King Nagakin acknowledged that Legs yed him and won, the mere fact that the Snow Fenrir was now someone else''s beast felt too ridiculous to his senses. "How did they manage to do it?"


    Even ck Master Einstein could not answer this question. Though he already held this Summoner at a high esteem due to their first meeting, he was forced to reevaluate his opinion of the Sexy Chocte now.


    This brought the inevitable question. ''Is he of this world?''


    ck Master Einstein didn''t know why he asked it in his mind, he just did.


    In the end, after a few more talks about the repercussions of what happened in the ice territory, King Nagakin made his first demands.


    "As allies, we should help each other".<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "For my race to recover and help in your ns, we need to recover".


    "To recover, we will need your help to get a sufficiently cold enough territory". The Frost Giants already pushed their limits toe to a ce this hot, without a territory to recover, their future was bleak.


    ck Master Einstein nodded. "We''ll help, but¡­, we have conditions".


    ¡­


    After the fusion of the ice territory back to the Elemental ne, Lucky felt her connection to the inheritance be stronger than ever before.


    ''Did the inheritance lead me to bring father here?'' Lucky could not help but think of this since everything felt too good to be a coincidence.


    After the fusion and the reunion of all 4 territories of the Elemental ne, it was then that Lucky felt that everything was right. This led her to believe that the inheritance made her bring her father here to help with the fusion.


    Following her instincts and Redmane''s advise, Lucky was able to go deep enough into the cold depths of the ice territory till she found it.


    Lucky and her 7 Foxes discovered the first location, a tomb built in the cold.


    Shockingly, this tomb was built in the previous territory of the Yetis. At the entrance to the tomb was an engraving, the engraving of a massive white Fox.


    Entering inside the tomb, Lucky discovered a white key.


    "There are 4 keys to ess the Ancestor Inheritance¡­" Redmane''s eyes gleamed as he looked at the white key that glowed, resonating with the surrounding snow.


    Without hesitation, Lucky picked the key and went to 3 other different locations in the ice territory that her instincts led her to.


    There, she found 3 other tombs each holding a key. When she finally gathered the white key, green key, red, and ck key, a reaction urred.


    Redmane took charge for the first time.


    As soon as the energetic reaction filled with super energy urred, Redmane acted as his powerful space powers acted on all 4 keys. With his powers, he was able to merge the keys together as a white bridge opened the next moment.


    Lucky directed a suspicious nce at the Red Fox.


    As a newborn, she didn''t know a lot of things and hence her arrogant personality previously. Though she had only spent a few months in this world, during this time, she was able to experience a lot of things with her father.


    One trait about her was that she learned fast. Over the few months of her life, she already matured and learned a lot of things which was the main reason for her ring personality change recently.


    The more she knew, the more she grew suspicious about Redmane. The Red Fox''s appearance and knowledge were simply abnormalpared to normal standards, though she didn''t focus on it, she still put it at the back of her mind.


    Redmane''s behavior since she unlocked the inheritance opportunity confirmed her suspicion, and his actions at this moment further confirmed it.


    Lucky looked at the Red Fox not out of wariness but simply curiosity. No matter Redmane''s identity, she was sure that the Red Fox had no animosity towards her, they were true friends already.


    "Who are you? What is your identity?" She genuinely asked.


    "I will tell you after you im the inheritance". Redmane replied seriously.


    "You need to lead the way into the white bridge before it disappears, we have only a few seconds before it does".


    Lucky looked at the Red Fox then at the other foxes that stood behind her, ready to give their life for her and do anything for her.


    The next moment, she took the first step into the white bridge.


    Redmane followed her and all the other Foxes also followed.


    Bzzz!


    The space shifted onest time and the white bridge disappeared.

 Chapter 200 Luckys Inheritance Adventure [2]

    Bzzz!


    As soon as she entered the white bridge, Lucky disappeared.


    When she regained consciousness, she saw herself inside a white chariot riding through a white bridge that seemed to extend all the way to heaven.


    The Horses that pulled her were the mythical Unicorn Horses.


    Having conversed with her father to know more about herself and her uniqueness previously, Lucky already knew about Unicorn Horses. ording to her father, these beasts had the same extremely rare affinity that she had.


    The main and only affinities of the Unicorn Horses were luck and strength.


    With a beautiful purple mane extending from their head to their tail, with a blue body that had colorful white lines snaking through it, and the iconic Unicorn horn that glowed in many colors, these Horses were majestic.


    At this moment, 2 of these mythical Unicorn Horses pulled the chariot that carried Lucky riding through this white bridge that seemed to extend to heaven.


    The speed of the Horses was so fast that everything was a blur to Lucky.


    Straining herself, she was barely able to look back only to see 7 other chariots like hers with 14 other Unicorn Horses pulling them through the white bridge.


    Lucky was shocked at seeing so many Unicorn Horses.


    ''Where is this?'' She thought, shocked.


    ''How can so many Unicorn Horses be gathered like this?''


    ''What is this white bridge?''


    ''Where does the white bridge lead to?''


    ''What is the inheritance?''


    ''What does Redmane know?''


    At this moment, she had a lot of questions but unfortunately for her, none of them could be answered as she kept on being pulled away rapidly.


    After what felt like 10 minutes to Lucky, the 2 Unicorn Horses through the white bridge were able to cross millions of kilometers into space to the end of the white bridge where a gigantic white pce hovered in space.


    Not just a pce, this seemed like a gigantic ind turned into a pce.


    At this moment, a massive blue energy shield covered this gigantic pce. The most incredible thing was that this gigantic pce was able to survive independently in space without relying on any nearby.


    Lucky''s eyes widened to the limits as the Unicorn Horses pulled her in.


    As soon as she entered the atmosphere of this gigantic ind floating in space, the white bridge disappeared. The Unicorn Horses instantly grew wings that allowed them to float through the skies in this new world.


    This ind was not an isted one, it was filled with life. From the skies, Lucky looked down and saw a boisterous economy below.


    Normal humans like her father, alien humans some with red bodies, others with blue scales, and some even with horns. Apart from these alien humans, there were also different beasts, they all cohabited in this ind.


    They were not the only ones flying. She saw some aliens flying in cold metal objects that emitted heat and steam as they flew through the skies.


    Lucky''s eyes widened. "Is that¡­, alien machines?"


    Despite the boisterous ecosystem and the numerous species that lived in this ind that seemed like a, there was one dominant species. The Foxes were the dominant species, they seemed to upy the most prosperous zones.


    As the Unicon Horses flew ahead, Lucky soon discovered that the pce which she previously saw was an erged illusion of the real pce.


    Inhabiting at the center of this ind was the real pce, and that was where the Unicorn Horses finally descended. Coming down from the chariot, Lucky looked up only to see the gigantic glowing signpost at the top of the pce.


    "Illusion Emperor''s Pce!"


    As she looked at the glowing signpost, without her knowledge, Lucky was already being drawn into an illusion including all herpanions.


    The next moment, a chuckle reverberated, snapping them from it.


    At this moment, a majestic Blue Fox that was far more gigantic than Lucky was already standing before her as she looked at her kindly.


    "Yousted 4 seconds before falling into the illusion, that''s better than most Foxes that get toe here".


    The Blue Fox''s smile widened. "Wee to Illusion Emperor''s Pce".


    "¡­" Question marks filled Lucky''s head.


    Noticing her confusion, the Blue Fox paused. "Which star system did youe from?"


    "¡­"<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "Oh, a primitive one". Her beautiful brown eyes knitted in understanding.


    "No worries little one, I''ll put you through".


    She led the way into this majestic pce even as she continued questioning Lucky. "So, at least you know the that you came from right?"


    Lucky heaved a deep sigh of relief, she could finally answer, she was already feeling pretty embarrassed since she barely knew what this Blue Fox said since.


    "Ie from Darvis".


    Darvis?" The female Blue Fox tilted her head cutely like if engrossed in deep thought. "Can''t recall, I''ll have to check the database¡­"


    "So, how did you trigger her Excellency''s inheritance?"


    "Oh¡­" Lucky briefly tilted her head in recollection. "I think I triggered it when my father Named me?"


    "Named you?" This Blue Fox narrowed her eyes as she examined Lucky, then she asked. "You''re already contracted to a Summoner?"


    "No".


    "¡­"


    The Blue Fox frowned. "So, how were you named by a Summoner?"


    Lucky shrugged innocently. "I don''t know, when my father named his contracted beasts, I nagged him to also name me and it worked".


    "Hmm, that''s weird¡­"


    As they conversed, this Blue Fox led Lucky and herpanions through the gigantic pce. The pce was not only majestic, it was also gigantic.


    Another thing was that it was mostly filled with Foxes, any other race that were inside the pce either worked as servants who constantly cleaned the pce on a regr basis or did other misceneous tasks.


    Seeing humans engaging in menial jobs for Foxes, Lucky almost felt like she was in a dream. "Father would choke in shock if he sees this¡­"


    After a brief tour around the pce, Lucky was brought to a part of the pce, a hall where a gigantic machine was waiting in hibernation.


    "What is your name?" The Blue Fox finally asked.


    "Lucky".


    "Well, Lucky, congrattions, you sessfully triggered a main inheritance opportunity of the Illusion Emperor which have only ever been triggered by a handful of Foxes across history".


    "My name is Helena, I am your inheritance guide".


    "Enter the identification machine so I can identify your bloodline".


    Lucky obeyed as she entered the gigantic machine that was shaped in a dome shape. As soon as she entered, she was locked in as the machine geared back to life with some loud humming sounds.


    After a few seconds, it stopped.


    Helena opened the machine to release Lucky while going to check the results, she had a weird look on her face the next moment.


    >Base bloodline: Star Fox<


    "Star Fox? Never heard of it¡­"


    Helena turned to face Lucky. "Nevermind the result, as a main inheritance recipient, you need to see her Excellency".


    Helena indicated for her subordinates that were in this hall to lead Redmane and the others in another direction. Lucky tried to interject but Redmane reassured her, as she was led away, she asked Helena.


    She whispered. "Please, the Illusion Emperor, who is she?"


    Helena looked down at her with an amused expression on her face.


    "Her Excellency is the gbearer for all Foxes across the cosmos".


    "She is a Grace S World Illusion Fox".


    "¡­"


    Lucky''s mouth fell open in shock.

 Chapter 201 Ariel, The World Illusion Fox

    Helena led Lucky to the gate of the World Illusion.


    World Illusion was the endgame level of Foxes who took a certain route with their bloodline powers. After attaining the World Illusion level, Foxes gain the incredible ability of creating an entirely new world for themselves.


    One of the strongest special abilities of World Illusion Foxes was the ability to drag their opponents into their Illusion World where they are God.


    In their World Illusion, World Illusion Foxes are invincible. They are the God and they decide on thews of their world, they decide the atmospheric condition, they decide which species can survive there, they control everything.


    The more Lucky was told about this Illusion Emperor, the more this little Moon Fox became reverent of this ancestor of hers.


    Following Helena''s lead, she passed through the gate.


    Bzzz!


    When Lucky regained her sight, she appeared in an entirely new world. Before going down to the world, from the skies for a few seconds, she and Helena were given the opportunity of having an overview of this world.


    The arctic zone, the desert, the seas and oceans, the rain forests and savannah grasnds, this was an entirely new world in itself.


    In this world, only Foxes lived here.


    "Most of them were created by her Excellency".


    Lucky was astonished. "Is she a goddess?"


    They descended into the world the next moment. The walk did not take long, after just a short walk, they arrived before a waterfall.


    Lying at the grass beneath the waterfall was a normal Fox.


    Despite not seeing its front view yet, Lucky was breath taken by the part of this Fox that she was able to see. With pure white fur that glistened like snow, beautiful long and hairy ears, and a gentle demeanor, Lucky fell in love.


    "Ahhh¡­" The gentle white Fox spoke the next moment.


    "How long has it been?"


    "2 centuries? 3 centuries?"


    "The standards of Foxes across the cosmos keeps decreasing, I thought I won''t witness another Fox that triggers my main inheritance".


    As she spoke, slowly, this majestic white Fox stood up.


    Helena bowed respectfully. "Your Excellency Illusion Emperor".


    Lucky dared not dally around, she imitated Helena''s actions and bowed as respectfully as she could. "Your Excellency Illusion Emperor".


    The white Fox gently smiled at the little Yellow Fox with white dots. She didn''t pay much attention to looking at the little Yellow Fox, at the exact moment that Lucky arrived in her domain through the Unicorn Horses, she knew.


    Her energy check was powerful enough to span the whole ind.


    "Little one, what is your name?"


    "Lucky, your Excellency".


    "I''m curious". She finally turned to look at the little Fox.


    As soon as the white Fox turned, Lucky dared not look at her directly as she looked down. Every movement and every gesture of this white Fox was so majestic that Lucky feared looking at her would make her go crazy in fanatism.


    "I''m curious, you''re the youngest Fox that ever managed to trigger my main inheritance, how did you do it?" She looked at the little Yellow Fox curiously.


    Lucky fidgeted. "My father did most of the work".


    The white Fox was visibly surprised. "Who is your father?"


    "A human".


    "¡­"


    Lucky was quick to understand her mistake. "I''m sorry¡­, I didn''t really grow with any parents, I grew up knowing him as my only parent so I took him as my father, he took good care of me".


    "But you''re only a few months old". The white Fox''s eyes narrowed into slits as she looked at Lucky. "What is her base specie?"


    Helena answered this time. "It''s a species that I haven''t heard of before".


    "What is it?"


    "A Star Fox".


    Crash!


    With a loud sound, a part of the white Fox''s illusion cracked, exposing her real self. Instead of the normal white Fox that Lucky saw before, she now saw an extremely gigantic White Fox standing before her.


    She was still extremely beautiful and majestic but the sheer size of this Fox in rtive to her sent Lucky pissing herself, she was intimidated as she shivered.


    Helena was shocked by the Illusion Emperor''s reaction.


    As a Grade S Fox at the pinnacle of power, few things could startle her enough to lose her cool. Illusion was her main power, the Emperor losing control so much that it affected her illusion was a big subject.


    Helena looked at Lucky in shock before looking back at the white Fox. "What happened?"


    "¡­"


    The White Fox did not reply her as she fanatically stared at Lucky.


    Boom!


    Despite the distance being just a little more than a meter, the World Illusion Fox moved with incredible speed as her nose arrived beside Lucky as she sniffed the next moment then her eyes widened incredulously.


    "You''re the real deal!"


    "The f*cking real deal!"


    "Damn! Another Star Fox in my lifetime, I can''t believe it!"


    This gigantic White Fox was so excited and in disbelief at this moment that she reacted like a typical fangirl. At this moment, she no longer had the grace and aura of a powerful Grade S Emperor but just like any other Fox.


    Lucky was stunned, Helena was also stunned but just for a brief moment, she palmed her head the next moment.


    She sighed. "Ariel¡­, all you needed to make it perfect was to keep it up for just a few more seconds".<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "Must you lose yourself to such small surprises?"


    "This is definitely no small surprise Helena!" The Illusion Emperor already lost it, she no longer cared about courtesy or her grace.


    "What is a Star Fox by the way?"


    This gigantic White Fox turned to face her long-time friend and assistant as she grinned. "The gods have never been as generous to me".


    "George''s bloodline¡­" She said this with so much emotion.


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    Helena waspletely dumbfounded, her mouth hanged open in shock. She finally understood the reason for the Illusion Emperor''s reaction.


    Noticing their reactions, Lucky panicked. "What?"


    "Follow me sweet girl". Her treatment of this little Yellow Fox already underwent a 360 degree turn as the Illusion Emperor led her away.


    "You''ve heard of George?"


    "No".


    "What of the Space Conqueror of the Fox race?"


    "No".


    "Surely, you''ve heard of George the Smasher?"


    "Umm¡­, no".


    The gigantic White Fox scratched her head again. "Which again?"


    Darvis".


    "Ahh¡­, that¡­"


    Not caring about her again, the Illusion Emperor started exining. "Thousands of years ago when surface races started colonizing into space, the Foxes were not part of them until George rose into the scene".


    "George was the first andst Star Fox of our race".


    "Using the incredible powers of his bloodline, he rapidly climbed through the ranks to the peak of power, heralding an era of prosperity for all Foxes".


    "We experienced our peak during his time until he mysteriously disappeared, since then, the Foxes have been on a steady decline".


    "This is just a summary of his greatness but every young Fox should know of George, which backwater did youe from?!"


    "Ahem¡­" Helena cleared her throat.


    "Ah¡­, sorry for that outburst, I was just overwhelmed". The Illusion Emperor chuckled. "So, in essence, my reaction to your bloodline is not without basis, your bloodline has the potentials to change the history of our race again".


    "I have to confirm for myself".


    A few minutester¡­


    >Base Bloodline: Star Fox<


    Though she already expected to see it, a wide smile still spread through the face of the Illusion Emperor after she saw it.


    "Wee to my domain". She officially weed Lucky with a smile.


    "Over the milleniums, only 7 Foxes have been able to trigger my main inheritance. 6 of them already graduated, 2 of them are already Grade S Foxes".


    "Myst student who is still training is Genji".


    "Lucky, will you ept me as your master?"


    Lucky didn''t even need to think. "I ept".


    The next minute, they arrived at an exclusive training chamber inside her master''s World Illusion. There, Lucky saw her elder brother for the first time, Genji was a Fox who inherited the rare Sveltezza bloodline.


    This Grade A Fox had unparalleled agility.


    At this moment, Genji was training with his sword. Apart from his sword, Genji had a mechanical armor that was specially made for him.


    On noticing the new arrivals, Genji stopped training and turned to face them.


    He bowed. "Master".


    "Mistress Helena".


    "And should I call you¡­, junior sister?"


    Lucky smiled. "It''s nice to meet you too".


    The Illusion Emperor smiled. "Take your time to meet Genji, he''ll get you up to speed with your training".


    She looked at Lucky seriously. "Lucky, you have a lot of potential".


    "If you are determined enough, I can and will make you the best".


    Lucky bowed respectfully. "Thank you, master".


    Lucky officially started training under the Illusion Emperor''s guidance, as for herpanions, as her 7 followers, they had their own exclusive training.


    This was Redmane''s target from the beginning when he met Lucky.

 Chapter 202 Another Grey World Gathering

    Like the rolling pages of a book as a hard-cover masterpiece was read, the days slowly rolled over and in the blink of an eye, a week already passed.


    After what felt like a long time due to the numerous activities that they engaged mostly with the Hunter Union and the Ice Elemental ne, it was another month already and time for the grey world gathering again.


    After giving Christensen a heads-up ahead of time and informing de to get prepared, this time, Legs went to the grey world after them.


    After tapping the grey tattoo on his wrist, his consciousness left his body.


    Bzzz!


    Legs reappeared in the familiar surroundings of the grey world.


    "Hey yo Aaron, how''s it going man?"


    "Wee, Legs". Aaron weed him like usual as heughed.


    Like usual, Legs''s first thing when he came this early ahead of the others was walking around to observe any changes in the grey world. As he walked, Aaron followed behind him as this old Elementalist curiously watched him.


    "You seem very excited".


    "Yeah, I know you saw it but I''m still going to say it, my crazy adventure with my students in the Ice Elemental ne was something I really missed".


    "Back in my previous world, we lived in this world as yers. As yers, we didn''t fear death since we could revive so I engaged in a lot of crazy adventures, impossible missions".


    "Since reincarnating though, I''ve not found the courage to gopletely crazy, the Snow Fenrir was my first full-blown crazy adventure".


    "And man, was it fulfilling!"


    "I can literally still feel my heart rapidly beating against my chest". Legs held his chest as he free-fell with the mist of the grey world smoothly catching him.


    Aaron chuckled through it all as Legs babbled on.


    After some time, Legs finally asked. "So, you''ve stayed here for the past month, any breakthroughs? Any new discoveries?"


    Aaron finally smiled. "Since thest gathering, I have made a lot of progress".


    "Oh¡­!" Legs raised his eyebrows.


    "First". Aaron raised a finger. "Regarding Redmane, I have discovered more about him. As I learn more about the powers of the grey world, a lot of things be easier, I now know his real strength".


    This attracted Legs''s attention. "What is his real strength".


    Aaron became serious. "Redmane is a pinnacle Grade B Fox".


    "I could not get his overall Fox bloodline but from the glimpses of what I saw, he apparently has a huge territory with many subordinates outside Darvis".


    Legs''s eyes narrowed. "I already thought as much, the only thing bothering me is¡­, what does he want with Lucky?"


    Aaron simply shrugged.


    Legs urged him. "So, your 2nd discovery?"


    Aaron smiled. "I told you that as you grow stronger, you unlock more powers of the grey world, I already deduced some of the privileges that you can ess".


    "After you be a Grade C Summoner, not only willmunication between us be more effortless due to your deeper connection with the grey world but you can also set me free in the real world if you want".


    Legs''s eyes widened. "Really?"


    "Yes". Aaron briefly smiled before he became despondent again. "The only thing is that without a proper vessel, I may only be able to stay in the real world for a few minutes at most".


    "Oh¡­, a proper vessel¡­"


    After thinking deeper into it, Legs smiled and patted his grey world buddy. "We''ll talk about it after I be a Grade C Summoner".


    "Before we start, I want to ask something of you".


    Legs seriously looked at Aaron. "The momentum of the Clown Society is elerating faster than I expected, my gathering needs to keep up with their momentum so they can help me in the future if the need ever arises, that is why I need your help to boost Sophia".


    "Can you do that for me?"


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit". The Star''s vibrant voice that always seemed joyful reverberated the next moment, opening the gathering.


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit". The Emperor respectfully bowed to his god and greeted.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit".


    This time, not only the World and the Magician greeted, the Star and the Emperor already detected the presence of the intruder in their gathering.


    The Hermit spoke. "We''ll be weing another neer in our gathering, he was rmended by both the World and the Magician".


    The Hermit turned to look at the neer. "Give yourself a codename".


    "Justice".


    de was far calmer than Christensen''s first time. "This is my codename".


    With the Star taking the lead, they easily made the necessary side talk to wee the new member into their gradually expanding gathering.


    After that, the gathering finally kickstarted for real. The first phase started as the Emperor started by narrating any major happenings in the desert.


    "After the World''s help, the threat of the Titans in the desert have reduced a lot but in recent times, they are bing more or less nonexistent".


    "This should be a good thing but our elders are worried, we fear that this is the calm before the storm, the Clown Society is obviously nning something".


    Legs seriously devoured every detail of the Emperor''s narration.


    After him followed the Star. "There''s not really much happening in my circle, the only news of major note is what I eavesdropped and heard about the King".


    The ears of everyone in this gathering pricked open.


    "ording to what I heard one of my father''s subordinates saying to him, the King has been ill for the past 2 weeks".


    "There are suspicions that he was poisoned".


    After the Star''s turn, the Magician took centerstage, mostly giving news about the convergence of the ice territory back to the Elemental ne.


    The World added to the story and revealed the alliance of the Frost Giants to the Clown Society, the power of this evil organization just kept on increasing.


    Justice added a few more elements of his own after which this phase of the gathering finally drew to a close. The 2nd phase of the gathering followed naturally as the transaction session started.


    After a lengthy transaction session started where the Star dominated like usual, the World finally made his special proposition to the Star.


    "I have a list of Elementalist treasures written by a Master Elementalist".


    "Most of them cannot be bought with money". The World looked at the Star''s silhouette. "I already know that you''re a Grade E Elementalist now".


    "¡­"


    The Star gasped, including the Emperor.


    They turned to look at the Hermit, seeing his calm demeanor, they instantly guessed where the World got his information from.


    The Star calmed down. "What does the treasures do?"


    "They will rapidly elerate and smoothen your journey to the Grade D realm. With them, it''s not impossible for you to be a Grade D Elementalist in the next 2 months though the theoretical time is 5 months".


    "I''ll be taking it". The Star was decisive.


    "Ahem¡­" The World cleared his throat. "They are expensive".


    "I''ll still pay".


    Legs smiled, this was why he loved the Star.


    Through this member of his gathering, he nevercked the rare herbs and ingredients that he needed to concoct some of the most potent pills and potions that remained in his memory from his previous world.


    It took a few more minutes but the transaction phase also closed, then it finally came to thest phase where the Hermit addressed them.


    All members of the gathering payed attention to their leader.


    The Hermit''s address was brief this time, he only gave them a warning. "Stay alert, the Clown Society is already making moves in the dark".


    "You all are part of one gathering, always look after each other''s backs".


    "Lastly¡­" The Hermit''s tone turned ominous. "Never betray me".


    "¡­" They all felt goosebumps.

 Chapter 203 A Strange Reunion

    After the grey world gathering ended, Legs didn''t leave yet.


    "What do you intend to do?" Aaron looked at him.


    "I''m not sure". Legs smiled as he looked at thispanion of his. "I guess I''ll do what I''m best at, surviving, that''s what I''m best at".


    Aaron calmly looked at him for a few seconds before speaking again.


    "More bounty hunters and assassins woulde for you this time; do you think you and your students have what it takes to fend off all of them?"


    "Well, I don''t really know¡­"


    "I think you should look for an ally to help you".


    "In the Elemental ne? Which ally do I have there?"


    "I don''t know, just find someone, or else you will die". Aaron said this with all seriousness. "You are currently weak, so is Friggad, Christensen and de are strong but both of them alone can''t protect you".


    Legs went closer and patted Aaron on the back. "I''ll listen to your advice".


    "Also, I''ll be looking out for the perfect vessel for you in preparation for when I finally be a Grade C Summoner".


    "Anticipate it".


    Legsughed as he finally essed his grey apple tattoo again.


    Bzzz!


    He disappeared.


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    Legs woke up to see 2 shadows towering over him. On looking up, he saw his 2 students curiously staring down at him.


    "What?"


    "You stayed longer than us".


    "Yes, I have a closer rtionship with his Excellency the Hermit, do I have to tell you every single order that he rys to me?"


    "Ahhh¡­!" Christensen eximed in understanding as he grabbed de and led him away. "Master is the Hermit''s most trusted follower".


    "You know, our mission to go save your desert tribes from the Undead Titans, it was one of our members that asked for our help and the Hermit delegated Master to go save them, I just tagged along".


    "I guessed". de smiled.


    "Huh?" Christensen was confused.


    "It''s the Emperor, right?" de''s smile widened. "Though he tried to hide it, I easily deduced his familiarity with Altan of the Audun tribe".


    Christensen scratched his head. "I was not supposed to expose that".


    de chuckled as he left with his senior brother to hunt for meat, as they left, thoughts flowed in his head. ''So, it was the Hermit all along?''


    ''Is he the reason why master is so strong?''


    ''No!'' He vehemently rejected it after seeing his master at work several times. ''Master is a genius, I think the Hermit just guides him to realize his full potential''.


    de smiled. ''I''m fortunate I met him''.


    "Huh? Why are you suddenly smiling, thinking of a girl?"


    de''s face turned poker. "No, nothing".


    A few minutester, they returned to their hideout in the ice territory with a huge Ice Bear. Christensen went to work on roasting the meat as like usual, Legs sent Bran out on a scouting mission.


    Once the meat was tender, they dug in enthusiastically.


    As his master ate meat, Bran also enjoyed his own feast after hunting down an Ice snake. As he ate, his danger instincts suddenly rang the next moment.


    Whoosh!


    Bran reacted as swiftly as the wind itself.


    With one p of his wings, Bran was able to propel himself fast and high enough to dodge the mechanical arrow that flew towards him with venom.


    He dodged its de, but not its contents.


    The arrow detonated the next moment.


    Bam!


    Bran received damage but having protected himself with his left wing, Bran was able to maintain control over himself in the air as he soon stabilized in the air.


    Feeling the sound of the wind blowing again as another arrow was released, Bran no longer deemed it necessary to see his opponents first as he retaliated. Bran somersaulted in the air before aggressively flicking her feathers.


    Whoosh!


    This angered Void Raven released her feathers as iron weapons.


    Originally, the owner thought that her target for breakfast was just a normal Raven but this show from the raven changed her mind.


    "The Void Raven!"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    She barely spoke before she and herpanions attacked in a frenzied manner. They attacked like a unit, coordinated, lethal, and effective.


    The sounds of the arrows, the automatic pistols, and the rifles vibrating, unleashing their loads freaked Bran out as he used his blink ability.


    Bzzz!<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Bran disappeared into the void, narrowly dodging the attack barrage as he appeared at another angle where he was finally able to see the culprits.


    6 humans with different creatures heavily armored.


    The machines alone already revealed their identity. "Clown Society!"


    Bran was rmed as he turned to escape.


    Having felt the distress of his beast already, Legs saw through Bran''s eyes. As soon as he saw the 6 enemies, his eyes widened in shock.


    "The 6 Ninja Assassins!"


    "Huh?"


    Smack! Smack!


    Legs didn''t even talk, he directly smacked his 2 students on the head.


    "Run!"


    Without hesitation, Legs mounted Predator as he ordered the Nightmare Beast to escape. Noting the reaction of their master, Christensen and de dared not hesitate, both warriors mounted Leo as they ordered him to escape.


    As they escaped, Legs ordered Bran to fly in another direction to fool their enemies and buy them some time.


    In his current state, Legs had no intentions of fighting those 6 freaks.


    Having fought different bounty hunters and assassins over the past week who were weaker than them and seeing their oue, he had no doubt that they stood no chance before all 6 of these warriors.


    Bran was not having an easy time. One of the enemies had a Crow that had an automatic rapid-shooting Rifle mounted on its beak, another had 2 Owls, another had a Vulture, Bran was cornered in the air.


    Despite all these, he was not captured, Bran had ess to Void powers.


    He was only able to fool them for a few minutes though, they soon discovered the pattern as without hesitation, their leader ordered them to take the opposite direction after discovering trails of their targets.


    They were faster than Legs''s entourage, they had bothnd and air advantage, Legs was put under pressure again as his brain rapidly calcted.


    With his master found, Bran no longer flew in the opposite direction. Using his blink ability, he teleported straight to the front where he engaged in scouting activities again to clear the way for his master.


    Just a few minutester, Bran discovered a criminal gang in the territory.


    Legs despaired. "Are they here for us too?"


    Legs focused and saw through Bran''s eyes.


    The first thing that entered his sight was the criminal gang. Unlike the beast ne that had a lot of restrictions, the Elemental ne didn''t have as much restrictions that prevented non-Elementalists from entering.


    Criminal gangs and hunter teams thrived in the Elemental ne.


    This was a criminal gang of approximately 50 superhuman warriors, their leader¡­


    Legs''s eyes widened in shock. The first thing that attracted his attention was the white hair with the slightly bald spot at the center, then the massive Frost Crane that patrolled the air.


    From shock, his eyes widened in ecstasy. He urged Predator to sprint even faster closer to where the criminals were gathered.


    Thud! Thud!


    "Enemies! Formation!"


    As soon as they heard the thudding sounds, they entered their battle formation but Legs was one step ahead as he called loudly.


    "Frost Crane! It''s me, help!"


    "Huh?" The leader of the criminals looked ahead.


    On looking ahead, he only saw a bunch of unfamiliar faces.


    "It''s me, don''t you remember?"


    "Stop your beasts now or face the full wrath of the Frost-Afro gang!"


    "¡­" Legs was left speechless.


    He wanted to really curse this warrior but at this moment, he was in urgent need of their help. This was when he remembered something.


    ? "F*ck!"


    -----


    You have actively worn off the effects of the Ultimate Man Potion!


    ----


    Legs transformed for the first time in a long time to his real self.


    de was shocked, despite knowing the truth, he had never seen his master in his real form. He was shocked, but the leader of the criminals was shocked even more than him, this criminals'' eyes widened.


    This criminal stuttered. "L-Lord Young Nightmare?!"


    Hearing this name, one of the criminals that was still inside their camp tent previously rushed out. Legs''s eyes widened on seeing this fellow.


    The ck Afro hair betrayed his identity.


    "Afro Pugilist!"


    "¡­" This Pugilist could not talk, he was petrified in shock.


    Legs was amused at their reactions but feeling Bran''s distress, he remembered his situation as he roared at them.


    "Help!"

 Chapter 204 The Frost-Afro Gang

    Inside the main camp tent of the Frost-Afro gang¡­


    "So, when did you guys bring your trade to the Elemental ne?"


    The 2 pinnacle Grade E warriors fidgeted awkwardly as they looked at the familiar kid that now sat before them.


    "Can''t really call crime a trade can we?" Afro Pugilist chuckled awkwardly.


    Frost Crane finally took over and replied. "We don''t actually base here, we go wherever there is business".


    "When you say business, you mean criminal activities?" Legs raised his eyebrows, causing Frost Crane to chuckle.


    The atmosphere gradually loosened up as they chuckled.


    "Not really, apart from attacking and robbing merchants which of course is the job of criminals, we also do legitimate business like taking bounty missions".


    "Our gang pride ourselves on 3 notorious criminals that we captured and killed, their bounty prize was enough for us to celebrate for months".


    "Nice". Legs smiled. "Criminals hunting criminals".


    "I never knew you were the Sexy Chocte wanted by the Clown Society". Frost Crane said as he remembered something that he said months ago.


    After the Nightmare Beast ind, he once told Afro Pugilist that another legend of their was rising. Never did he expect that in just a few months, what he said was alreadying to pass.


    It felt like a crazy dream to him.


    "But¡­" Frost Crane paused as he finally pointed out his fear. "My Frost Crane already discovered your pursuers outside our perimeter, won''t they¡­?"


    "No". Legs replied confidently.


    "I know them, they''re the most effective assassin unit of the Clown Society". Legs turned to look outside. "Their code of conduct is efficiency, they never waste time unnecessarily, they study their target ahead of time".


    "Once they meet you, they kill you".


    "So why¡­?"


    "They''re not pushing it because they know what I''m capable of". As Legs said this, he reflected back to the moment during the war when he finally released Ak and his battalion of 600 Wolves.


    That moment must have surely intimidated King Nagakin.


    He already guessed that the Frost Giant King most probably returned to the Clown Society to seek refuge, which meant his pursuers already knew about his exploits. Knowing them, he was confident that they would not attack now.


    Even in his current weak state, he could still ess the beast ne. He didn''t escape to the beast ne yet because he had other ns.


    Back in his previous world, he shed with this assassin group more than once. Their leader, Buffalo was the main reason why he didn''t fight them despite his weakened state, that fellow was strong.


    Legs turned back to face Frost Crane. "They hope that staying outside the perimeter would intimidate you and put unrest in your camp, which will likely cause infighting that would result in chaos".


    "They thrive in chaos but that won''t happen, would it?"


    "It won''t". Frost Crane smiled.


    With that, everything became easier, Legs asked about what happened after Nightmare Beast ind.


    Frost Crane and Afro Pugilist finally smiled for the first time.


    "After you saved us, once the Mountain Toads ferried us to safety, we made a decision that changed our lives forever".


    "Instead of going solo again, risking another chance of being caught by the officials, we decided to be allies and form a brand-new criminal gang".


    "That was when the Frost-Afro gang came to life".


    "We already have more than 250 superhumans in our gang, we came with only these ones toplete a special mission here in the Elemental ne".


    "Wow, deciding to ally together must have taken a lot of courage".


    They both smiled. "It was motivated by our time spent alongside you, you taught us a valuable lesson. You taught us that even with our differences, when against amon enemy, it pays to cooperate and face them together".


    -----


    Warning! You are being stared at without blinking for the past 20 minutes!


    Beware!


    ----


    Legs shuddered as soon as he received this virtual interface notification.


    He didn''t actually need the notification reminder, he already knew who was staring at him since. After removing the effects of the Ultimate Man Potion form, it seems de still could note to terms with the real him.


    This Pugilist kept on staring at him like he wanted to dissect him to pieces with his eyes, the intensity of the stare at times sent chills down his spine.


    He turned. "Umm¡­, de, are you alright?"


    "Sure".<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "¡­Huh?"


    "I mean yes, sure, I''m ok".


    "¡­" Legs simply nodded and turned his head.


    As soon as Legs turned his head, de turned to look at Christensen who smirked and tilted his head in an ''I told you'' manner.


    After all the idle talk for minutes, Legs finally deviated to real business. "Apart from the temporary shelter, I need your help with another thing".


    Frost Crane and Afro Pugilist pricked their ears up as they listened.


    "Do you know what is called a Yeti Monster?"


    "¡­" Afro Pugilist stared like he just heard the weirdest sh*t ever.


    It was Frost Crane whose eyes creased slightly. "I read of them before, and recently, just a week ago, I saw some of them appear".


    "Not sure about my discovery, I ordered my gang to escape".


    Frost Crane stared at Legs. "What do you need with them?"


    "Not me". He stared at Christensen. "My student''s beast needs them".


    "Student?!"


    Frost Crane and Afro Pugilist stared at Christensen, then they both coughed and averted their gaze. "Ahem¡­, I can show you where Ist saw them".


    "Good, that is what I need".


    In the end, Legs and his students ended up staying with them for a full day. To avoidplicating them with their matters, Legs already nned the exact manner in which he would escape.


    They nned to escape early in the morning when it was still dark.


    He turned to look at them onest time. "Thanks man, I''ll never forget this favor from the both of you".


    Theyughed. "No worries, you helped us first remember?"


    Legs smiled then he mounted Predator. "Buddy, go at full speed".


    Having received orders from him, Ak already sent one of his fastest Wind Wolves. de mounted the Wind Wolf while Christensen like usual mounted Leo, that morning, all 3 beasts sprinted out of this criminal camp.


    Frigga was already sent to the beast ne to recover.


    As soon as they moved out, the 6 assassins of the Clown Society discovered them. Without hesitation, they went in pursuit.


    This was Legs''s way of not implicating Frost Crane and his subordinates. If they left without drawing the assassins along, Legs was 100% sure that they would not live to see the next day.


    The sounds of their padding steps reverberated in the forest as they disappeared into the still dark world of that early morning.


    ¡­


    Hourster, Legs and his students arrived at another part of the ice territory. A part of this territory that was already being colonized by a Monster race.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Under the Yeti Elder''s leadership, the gigantic Yetis hammered the snow and ice with their fists, terraforming the surrounding to better resemble their habitat.


    Since arriving more than a week ago, this was what the Yeti Monsters set out to do. Compared to the other participants of the war, the Yeti Elder was the only one who didn''t make as much sacrifices that affected his immediate strength.


    Legs, Frigga, and even King Nagakin were in a weakened state after the war though the Frost Giant King seeded in masking it from the Clown Society.


    The only one who didn''t suffer as much was the Yeti Elder.


    All 3 beasts sprinted closer to this territory just beside the new Yeti territory.


    Their arrival attracted the attention of the Yeti Monsters, they looked and they were stunned. Once the Yeti Elder looked, Legs gave his order.


    "Do it!"


    Christensen no longer hesitated.


    "Summoner Ability: Beast ne Summoning".


    Bzzz!


    Frigga appeared from the beast ne.

 Chapter 205 Friggas Ambition

    Frigga may have only a weak Grade E aura now, but this took nothing from his identity. This was still the Snow Fenrir that all the Yetis knew.


    At this moment, all the Yeti Monsters stood, petrified in shock.


    Like the Frost Giants, they suffered a lot of casualties during the war and now had less than 60 Yetis but this was still an extremely powerful army considering that majority of them were Grade D Yetis.


    The addition of the Grade C Yeti Elder took them more than a level up.


    Seeing the familiar humans alone already brought back bad memories to the Yeti Elder, on seeing the Snow Fenrir, his eyes widened in shock and rm.


    Before he could take a step forward, Frigga spoke.


    At this moment, Frigga was no longer Christensen''s contracted beast, Frigga was now the mythical beast, the beast with Grade B strength at his peak, the savior of the Yeti Monsters.


    His voice reverberated confidently through the air with power.


    "When I came to this world injured, I met a war between your race and the original Ice Elementals".


    "You were the losing side until I intervened".


    "With my bloodline ability, I cut the ice territory away from the Elemental ne. Annihting all the Ice Elementals in the process who could not adapt to the sudden change, this act automatically made you the winners of the war".


    "After my act, you pledged allegiance to me".


    "You pledged to serve me forever".


    Frigga''s eyes narrowed, despite the fact that he only had Grade E aura now, his demeanor was that of a Grade B mythical Snow Fenrir.


    "You''ve broken your oath once, but I am a forgiving Savior".


    "Pledge allegiance to me again".


    The Yeti Elder smirked as he looked at the smaller Snow Fenrir. "As a Grade B beast at your prime, I expected you to be smarter than this".


    "You should have known that I pledged allegiance only due to your power".


    "Now with your power gone, on what basis should I pledge my allegiance?"


    The Yeti Elder didn''t even bother to hear the Snow Fenrir out anymore, as soon as he finished speaking, he activated one of his bloodline abilities.


    "Yeti Bloodline Ability: Ice Beam!"


    None of them were able to dodge the concentrated beam of frost energy that shot towards them like aser, they were frozen and evaporated.


    Legs, his students, Frigga, they all evaporated.


    But the strange thing was that instantly after they evaporated, shadowy wisps started diffusing into the atmosphere from what was left of their remains.


    The Yeti Elder''s eyes widened. "Shadow energy?"


    "The Spine¡­, that is his Achilles heel".


    Legs''s voice barely reverberated before de moved.


    Whoosh!


    Due to his Speed talent, and Brutus'' help that made him invisible, hiding behind the Yeti Elder since, de was able to explode with incredible speed.


    From the front, even as Leo attacked, Christensen also shot at it.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The Chaotic Mana Bullets battered against the face of the stunned Yeti Elder. He was stunned, everything happened so fast, when he thought he already killed all his opponents, they ambushed him out of nowhere.


    The previous Frigga that talked to him was nothing more than a shadow.


    Using another special ability of his, Brutus created the deceiving shadows. Now, on knowing the real him, the real beings implemented their master n.


    During the war and intense battle against King Nagakin for 3 days, Legs observed everything and he noticed some keen observations.


    All beasts were sensitive to all enemies behind them, but the Yeti Elder was extra sensitive to it. Besides, he liked positioning his body in a way that his spine was never exposed to the enemies when he battled.


    He also noticed this among the other Yetis.


    This was when he came to a conclusion. "Their spine was their Achilles heel".


    Now was the time to test his theory.


    Everything was happening so fast. With de''s talent, most especially his speed, precognition, and master Pugilist talents, he was like a specter, flicking in and out of existence as he soon climbed the Yeti Elder without trouble.


    "Roar¡­!" The Yeti Elder roared in desperation and fear.


    "Master of Debuff Ability: Disorientation!"<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "Master of Debuff Ability: Ear Curse!"


    With these 2 debuffs, the Yeti Elder felt an annoying incapability that he had not felt in a long time. At this moment, de''s eyes were already pitch-ck which enabled him to move and fight at an incredible level.


    With the debuffs and his precognition, he read all the Yeti Elder''s desperate moves. In just a second, the window of opportunity opened and he ruthlessly took it. de plunged Poseidon''s Fury into the spine of the Yeti Elder.


    "Ahhh¡­!" The Yeti Elder gasped.


    He didn''t feel pain, but his whole body froze up.


    As soon as Frigga saw this, he went to work. This Snow Fenrir finally came out as he started chanting incantations that aroused his bloodline powers.


    By now, the other Yetis were already rmed as they tried to save their Elder but it was already toote as Frigga finally finished his incantation.


    This Snow Fenrir closed his eyes then he muttered.


    "Fenrir Bloodline Ability: Blood Oath Contract!"


    Whoosh!


    A powerful blood power spread with Frigga as the center.


    When the Yeti Monsters made the oath, it was not just in words, Frigga registered them all through his special Blood Oath Contract bloodline ability.


    The only reason why he didn''t activate it before was because he thought he could control them through his sheer power, but with that gone, he took this countermeasure. As the blood power spread, all the Yeti fell into aa.


    A few secondster, they all opened their eyes, including the Yeti Elder.


    Petrified, he was unable to arouse his power to fight the foreign invasion from the Snow Fenrir. All the Yetis bowed the next moment.


    "Master".


    Legs already heard it from Frigga but he was still stunned.


    "Mythical bloodlines are f*cking crazy!"


    ¡­


    A few minutester¡­


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Bzzz!


    Legs brought Christensen and all the Yeti Monsters to the beast ne, he also paid the prize to bring de also since they were still being stalked by the assassins, he couldn''t leave his student behind.


    After they arrived, they spent a few hours to go to the Northern part of the beast ne where it was cold and habitable for the Yeti Monsters.


    There, Christensen finally allowed Frigga to stop.


    Frigga turned to look at his master, then at Legs. "I''ve seen what Ak did with the wolves, I''m going to do something much bigger with the Yeti Monsters".


    ''I hope it enables me to rediscover myself''. This Snow Fenrir thought.


    "I look forward to it". Legs smiled.


    With that, they finally left the Snow Fenrir and his new subordinates.


    In the end, Legs''s gamble paid off. Apart from getting the Snow Fenrir, he now for the first time had a Grade C powerhouse under hismand.


    He experienced in instant upgrade after that crazy risk taking.


    As they left, Legs brought out the letter. "With this letter, we can join the Crimson des assassin, that is our next destination".


    "But we need to get past the Clown Society assassins". Christensenined.


    "That is why I have the both of you". Legs smiled.


    "We can get through them". He said confidently.


    After so much effort put into training them, he was now confident in the strength of his students. Even with him being weak, he had no doubt that if it was just to escape, they were more than capable of it.


    They returned through the rainbow bridge.

 Chapter 206 Escape; First Clash Against The 6 Ninja Assassins!

    Buffalo, the leader of the 6 Ninja assassins was a ck man.


    Before bing a Summoner, he was a secret military agent for the Darvis royal family who was both effective in marksmanship and closebat. Due to certain reasons, he was attracted by the Clown''s proposal.


    For the first time, he got what he wanted and became a Summoner.


    Rising through the ranks was easy for him, in just a few years, he became one of the strongest Red Masters at the foremost of the Clown Society.


    Despite bing a Summoner already, he still had his old customs. At this moment, he was dressed in brown military attire with a special brown bullet proof vest. His main weapon on his hand was a 3-module automatic sub machine gun.


    At this moment, alongside the other 5 assassins that formed his new team, they camped a short distance away from where their target disappeared.


    Buffalo had a lot of thoughts in his mind as he watched. All of them were solo assassins of the Clown Society before they were called for this mission, and subsequently asked by ck Master Einstein to form this elite assassin team.


    Before now, they barely knew each other, they only knew through their records. They knew that each of them was strong but they barely knew each other''s personalities, they had not even fought together once.


    As a leader, Buffalo knew that this was not right, he had to remedy this.


    He turned to face his teammates and threw them a question.


    "What do you think of him?"


    "The Sexy Chocte?" The female assassin codenamed Crow asked.


    "¡­" Buffalo''s silent stare gave her the answer that she needed.


    Crow kept quiet as she waited for others to speak.


    In the end, the only other female assassin in the team who was also the 2nd inmand, Owl spoke. "I think he is a formidable opponent". She said seriously.


    "Referencing all his previous battle records and exploits, including his confidential secret battle against the Skull Necromancer, he is an assassin''s worst and most exciting enemy".


    "He is strong, knowledgeable, smart, and knows how to be ruthless".


    "He is almost a perfect Summoner".


    "Also, I don''t know if its true but he seems to have prophecy powers. It is ridiculous that the only 2 students that he took in ended up bing such powerhouses, it definitely has something to do with his power".


    "Also, his ability to know so much about our organization while barely making contact with us before now, he is someone that we should be wary of".


    "I''m not in the ce to give orders but if it is up to me, I don''t think we can assassinate him and his students while all we know about him is through records".


    "Let''s not take this opportunity to try assassinate him".


    "Let''s rather use it to sound him out and know more about him, his mannerism, his battle preferences, his likes and dislikes, and his battle style while revealing as little about ourselves as possible to him".


    "With this, we can better prepare an assassination n".


    "¡­" The others all kept quiet and silently looked at this female assassin.


    "¡­" Buffalo also kept quiet as he looked at his 2nd inmand.


    He knew that for her to be made the 2nd in Command, she must be powerful but he didn''t expect her to be this smart. He was already grateful for it, he smiled and finally gave his reply.


    "Good job, I like your analysis".


    "We shall take your n".


    So, they waited¡­


    After about 45 minutes since the Sexy Chocte and his students entered the beast ne, the space shifted again as the familiar rainbow bridge appeared.


    Buffalo closed his eyes. ''I already tried, after thisst assassination, I can finally rescue all my children''.


    He opened his eyes and they now burned with a fiery zeal.

    Bzzz!


    Legs did not just jump out of the rainbow bridge, before jumping through, he fused with Bran as together, they flew out of the rainbow bridge.


    He may only have ess to 20% of his power now, but he could still fuse with his beasts which still increased his power a bit.


    Through the 2 special abilities that he activated, he scanned everywhere.


    He rapidlymunicated with his students. "All 6 of them are here!"


    "To the right, Shield!"


    "Iing from the skies!"<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "Iing from the front, a Mammoth!"


    "Beware of the arrows!"


    de jumped alone out of the beast ne as his eyes gleamed sharply.


    As for Christensen, he jumped out with both Leo and Brutus, leaving only Frigga behind. As soon as he arrived, he heard his master''s orders and without him even asking, Leo responded to the orders.


    The Frost Wolf growled as his frost energy converged, forming a gigantic ice shield towards the right that protected them all right on time.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The shield erected right on time to thwart Buffalo''s sabotage.


    The leader of the assassins did not call his beasts, he only used his special automatic sub machine gun.


    He timed his shooting time so well that it directly coincided with when they came out, without the shield, Christensen would have received a direct lethal bullet shot to the brain.


    Holes were cut through the ice shield but it held its ground.


    Apparently, from this attack run, Buffalo only gave authorization to Mammoth and Vulture to make use of their specially created beasts.


    The ground vibrated like an earthquake was imminent as the gigantic Mammoth beast charged forward. Unlike a normal Mammoth, the eyes of this one glowed green, this beast was one of Clown''s sessful test subjects.


    Powered by psionic energy, the Mammoth had imprable defense.


    The assassin who rode on its back wielded a lethal Sniper rifle. Combining imprable defense with lethal offense was Mammoth''s battle strategy, he pulled the trigger the next moment but they were already prepared for him.


    Whoosh!


    With one p of his wings, Legs flew into the skies, dodging on time.


    As for de, this Pugilist rolled through the ice beneath him effortlessly like a ball rolling through a football field, also dodging the shot.


    As for Christensen, Brutus ran the show.


    Brutus used his abilities as together alongside Leo and his master, they became invisible, effortlessly dodging as the shots hit absolutely nothing.


    Legs flew into the skies but the skies were also not safe.


    Vulture, this male assassin rode a literal mechanic vulture through the skies. He was a rangedbatant as he unleashed his load the next moment.


    On his orders, the Vulture that he rode flipped and mid-flip, from its mechanical wings, metal spikes and shing swords were shot down.


    Not only his beast did his work, he was dressed in a special attire with metalponents filling most parts. As his beast flipped, he did not be dizzy as he aimed and from his hands, poisonous darts were shot at their opponents.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Blink


    You have activated active ability: Rapid Speed


    ----


    Among the 3, Legs had the easiest opportunity by far to escape.


    As soon as he disappeared into the void dimension and reappeared, he was already far away as without hesitation, he flew away like he was abandoning his students. Vulture followed him but Buffalo ordered otherwise.


    "Leave him, focus on his students!"


    They returned their attention here but Christensen and his beasts were still nowhere to be found. As for de, this Pugilist''s eyes already turned pitch-ck.


    "Master of Debuff Ability: Ear Curse!"


    By focusing all his energy on this, the effect was amplified.


    Though they were already warned about this annoying ability, experiencing it for the first time in an amplified manner, they were all affected.


    de took advantage of this little opportunity and bolted away. With his Speed talent, his speed was like that of a Form 1 race car.


    He didn''t run for the wide expanse of ice though, knowing that some of his opponents had flying beasts, he rather bolted for the edge of a cliff.


    All 6 assassins already went after the Pugilist in pursuit.


    Buffalo''s eyes shone brightly. "Vulture, predict his movements and corner him, it seems there is a chance that we can capture or kill this one".


    When de made it to the cliff, he didn''t even look before he jumped.


    Below the cliff was aplicated set of ice ciers, some with sharp ends that pointed upwards. If he fell on them, he would definitely die.


    de didn''t even bother to look at them, he simply closed his eyes to allow himself float as he glided through the air, effortlessly riding the wind.


    Vulture elerated after the free-falling Pugilist as he aimed to catch him but mid-flight, his eyes suddenly detected something.


    Masked by Brutus'' ability, he did not detect the arrow on time.


    The arrow from Christensen dug into the assassin''s back, after practicing his marksmanship for months, Christensen was already a master.


    "Ugh¡­"


    As this assassin grunted and as blood flowed, Legs who was still fused with Bran who was made invisible by Brutus already finally came out of his invisible state. With one smooth motion, he grabbed de and pped his wings.


    Whoosh!


    They flew away to safety.


    As they escaped, Legs turned to look at the assassins, their n was good but unfortunately, he already guessed that this would be their n.


    You don''t make ns before the master nner.


    He smiled at them. "Adios".


    "Till next time".

 Chapter 207 2 Identities

    Before escaping, Legs already made inquires from Frost Crane and Afro Pugilist. Through these 2 criminals, they knew where they needed to escape towards to leave the Elemental ne.


    An hour after they escaped from the 6 assassins, they arrived before a portal.


    Legs turned back to look at the boundless Elemental ne.


    "I''ll miss this ne".


    Despite the fact that some of the 6 assassins had tracking abilities, with Christensen and Brutus in their entourage, they stood no chance.


    Christensen and Brutus were a god-tierbination when it came to tracking and counter-tracking.


    Legs took a deep breath and finally jumped into the portal, his 2 students including the beasts jumped in the next moment as they disappeared.


    Bzzz!


    After what felt like a long time, they returned to Darvis.


    Through the grey world gathering, they kept up to date with everything that happened during their absence so they didn''t have a lot of catching up to do.


    Since Legs already nned, they simply followed the temte.


    Through the teleportation portal, they arrived close to a shelter that was foreign to Legs, the Manticure shelter. To get information, the first thing that Legs did was lead them into the shelter where they hired an inn.


    As Christensen left to the nearby bar to get information and a map of this shelter, de stayed with his master as he started learning another lesson.


    Legs turned to look at his student. "This is your first alchemy lesson".


    de tried to keep his face neutral but he couldn''t.


    "What?" Legs asked.


    "I don''t have much interest in alchemy".


    Legs smirked. "As my student, it ispulsory for you to know the basics". He turned to look at de again as he suddenly remembered something.


    "You know, there was one time that I fought alongside Christensen. When he was imprisoned by the Clown Society in a hideout and I went to save him, after saving him, I was trapped and left with no choice, we went to the beast ne".


    "Injured and trapped in the beast ne, I was affected by our enemy''s special Pugilist energy and I needed a specific herb to cure it".


    "Unfortunately, Christensen knew nothing about herbs or alchemy".


    "I was dying yet Christensen could do nothing".


    "It took some crazy ideas on my part before I was able to survive".


    de raised his eyebrows skeptically as he looked at his master. "Really? Senior brother sounds so useless during this time if it is true".


    "You think I''m lying?" Legs chuckled. "Your senior brother may look badass now but back then, he was nothing but a spoilt brat".


    "¡­"


    Both master and studentughed as Legs finally started.


    "The ingredients for the Ultimate Man Potion include 10 Ginseng Fruits, Drafe Fire leaves, Mud Water leaves, Cafu weed, 10 Elysium Seeds, 3 Pine leaves and a Crystal Time Stabilizer".


    de briefly closed his eyes to absolve all the new information.


    "The concoction process is simple so long as you know the basics and stay focused". Legs began working as he threw ingredients on the cauldron.


    Sizzle!


    Legs did not just concoct one cauldron of the potion this time, to stockpile on them and also due to the fact that 3 people would be using it now, he concocted more of the Ultimate Man Potion until Christensen returned.


    "And that is how you concoct the Ultimate Man Potion".


    Legs turned to face Christensen as de took care of pouring the potion into bottles. "What did you get?"


    "It seems we are on luck". Christensen smiled.


    "I got a lot of information, but the most relevant of them all is that there is a base of the Crimson de assassins here".


    "Good". Legs nodded with a smile.


    He finally took the newly crafted potions, he gave some to Christensen, others to de, before keeping the rest for himself.


    He looked at his students. "Drink it, from today on, we have 2 identities".


    Due to the increasing inconvenience of living due to the attention from the Clown Society, Legs made the decision to duplicate their identities. This way, he could be the famous Sexy Chocte and also be a notorious assassin.


    He wanted the same thing for his students.


    This time, after drinking the potion, not just his face, but Legs also changed his hair color too. His hair was now ck in color.


    As for Christensen, he changed his hair to red color.


    de left his hair ck.


    Once they were ready, Legs led the way outside the inn.


    ¡­


    The base of the Crimson des in the Manticure Shelter was a small one.


    As an assassin organization, despite the fact that it was part of thewful evil organizations, the Crimson des was still an organization that worked in the dark. Their base was located at an isted alley in the shelter.


    The door to the small building was locked, only a small counter by the window was open where an attendant sat.


    The attendant who was clearly a retired warrior with a sword scar on his face looked at the neers. "Who are you looking for?"<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Legs did not reply, he rather ced the letter on the counter.


    As soon as the warrior by the counter saw the letter, he picked it and looked at the special seal that was already broken. He looked at the 3 warriors once again before going inside the building.


    About a minuteter, the door opened with a click.


    The attendant was now behind a well-dressed man on a ck suit, he brightly smiled at them. "Wee to our base esteemed guests".


    "My name is Puerto, I am the regional manager here">


    "Pleasee in".


    Without a word, Legs led his students in.


    Entering inside this building was like they entered an entirely different world. Unlike the basic environment of the outside building, inside was not only much more massive than expected, it was a lively hub.


    Legs was surprised. ''Spatial powers''.


    There was a bar, several VIP rooms, a hall, the manager''s chambers, and the mission room. The first location that they encountered was the bar, as assassins, there was no upbeat music but the atmosphere was lively than the others.


    Mr. Puerto here led them straight to his chambers.


    As soon as they sat down, Legs went straight to the point. "The 3 of us want to be assassins of the Crimson des".


    "Not just normal assassins but an assassin unit".


    "I already have a name for our unit, the Monster Triad".


    "The letter is my VIP permit".


    "¡­"


    Mr. Puerto raised his eyebrows. "Wow, you know a lot about our organization".


    "Yeah".


    "That makes everything much easier for me then".


    Since the letter came directly from the founding Assassin of the Crimson des, Mr. Puerto didn''t bother to make anything difficult for them. He rather made everything easier to enable the creation of this assassin unit.


    "Your name?" He inputted in a special machine as he turned to look at Legs.


    "ze¡­"


    "Ok¡­"


    "The Fury".


    "Huh?" Mr. Puerto turned to look at Legs.


    "ze, the Fury". Legs looked at him. "Add my title also".


    Mr. Puerto smiled. "Wow, giving yourself a title already, you''re confident".


    He turned to face Christensen. "Your name?"


    "Ash".


    He finally turned to face de. "Your¡­"


    "Executioner". de answered before he could finish.


    "¡­" Mr. Puerto was surprised. "Are you sure?"


    "Yes".


    "Ok". Mr. Puerto finally inputted thest details then he smiled. "Congrattions, the Monster Triad is now an official assassin unit of the Crimson des Assassins".


    "First things first, let me get you up to date with our terms and workings".


    "We have different assassin ranks, Iron¡­"


    "I know". Legs interrupted and stood up. "Thank you for your time".


    He took his assassin badge as his students followed his leadership and took theirs, then they left the manager''s chambers. As they left, Legs exined to his 2 students. "There are 3 main Assassin ranks here".


    "The Iron, Mithril, and Valyrian ranks".


    "The Iron rank is the lowest and is our current rank, the level of assassination missions that you can take depends on your assassin rank".


    "To climb the ranks, we need to umte assassination sesses".


    "Fair enough". de nodded his head.


    In no time, they made it to the mission room. A lot of assassins were already inside the room that was also affected with spatial powers, issued missions could be seen written in papers all over the walls of this room.


    One of them caught Legs''s eyes.


    >Assassination Mission: Justice to the Tyrant!<


    He took it.

 Chapter 208 The Monster Triad Bursting Into The Scene

    3 dayster¡­


    Inside a prefecture of one of the more famous Shelters of the region, 3 strange and unwanted guests were weed into the Stonehill Prefecture.


    Dressed in all-ck clothes, they drew some suspicion from the guards in the prefecture but they were let through after paying somemon bribes.


    Like usual, they easily paid to ess an inn.


    Christensen worriedly turned to look at his master. "Master, are you sure you want to be stressing yourself with missions like this in your weak state?"


    "Shouldn''t you be resting to recuperate faster?"


    "¡­" Legs turned to face his student with exasperation evident on his face.


    "How many times do I have to teach you lesson number #2?"


    "How many f*cking times?!"


    Legs walked closer before grabbing his student by the ears, de watched in amusement. "Do not ever forget this, as Summoners, our greatest strength is not in how strong we are like Pugilists but in how smart we are".


    "Since you''ve known me, how many times have you seen me rely on simply brute strength?"


    "Max and Maggie¡­"


    "What?"


    Christensen cowered.


    Legs released his student, he sighed before patting him on the head. "You think I killed Max and Maggie by relying on brute strength alone?"


    "Damn". He sighed again. "You still have a ways to go to be a Master Summoner, what I did with Max was abination of psychological and physical warfare which he fell miserably for".


    "By talking him down with such words of bravado and bringing all my beasts, I managed to instill the belief in him that I was far stronger than he was".


    "When you win the psychological battle, the physical battle bes easier to win".


    "I won so convincingly because Max believed what I instilled in him".


    He poked Christensen''s head. "Do you remember with Brutus? My words alone were what I needed topletely break the Shadow Hound".


    "Woof!"


    Legs turned and directed an awkward smile at the Shadow Hound.


    "Then the most recent one, in a battle between Grade C powerhouses where I was supposed to be nothing more than a spectator, I thrived, you know why?"


    He touched his own head. "I thrived because of this, smartness".


    "A Summoner must be smart, got it?"


    "Yes, Master but¡­"


    "But what?" Legs narrowed his eyes.


    "I understand your point but this was never lesson number #2".


    "¡­"


    Legs''s face turned livid. "You¡­!"


    Smack!


    "Ouch¡­!"


    A few minutester, the atmosphere finally calmed again as they started revising their ns to assassinate the Governor of the Stonehill Prefecture.


    Apparently, this Governor was not like Governor Bam who actually cared about his citizens. Only fixated on money, enjoyment, and women, Governor Grizzly embezzled all the money, leaving the prefecture poor and wretched.


    Fed up and having tried different means to try overthrowing him to no avail, the citizens finally started taking extreme measures like assassination.


    The pay was 500,000 Darvis credits.


    The pay was high but in rtion to the difficulty of the mission, not so much. Most assassins were not willing to take a mission with so much risks, only an anomaly like Legs and his students didn''t mind taking it.


    What better way to announce the Monster Triad into the assassination scene, Legs''s end goal was to start attracting custom missions.


    When that happened, not only would he start receiving better pay and renown, but it would also open doors to connections with influential characters.

    [You have triggered Grade D Mission: Justice to the Tyrant!]


    [Mission Details: Governor Grizzly is hated by most civilians and soldiers in the Stonehill prefecture due to his greed. Kill him and save the people.]


    [Mission Reward: 500,000 Darvis Credits and increased Renown.]


    ----


    "Do you remember the n?" Legs asked.


    "Yes, Master".


    "Nice, let''s do it!"


    Christensen patted Brutus on the head, the Shadow Hound made his move as together, they became invisible before sneaking out of the inn.


    As for de, he simply grabbed Poseidon''s Fury before swaggering his way out of the inn. Legs stayed inside the inn, with Bran patrolling the skies, he became the watch unit of this assassination mission.


    Most of the Stonehill Prefecture was poor with visible signs of suffering, de''s destination was towards the best-looking mansion in this prefecture.


    Governor Grizzly''s mansion was by far the best-looking mansion, the other good-looking mansions were owned by politicians who supported him.


    de soon arrived before the mansion but he kept on going.


    The guards were startled on seeing the man walking towards them.


    "Hey! Stop there, where do you think you''re going to?"


    de continued walking.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "This is Governor Grizzly''s mansion! You are trespassing!"


    "Thanks for rifying". de continued walking forward.


    "The penalty for trespassing is death, kill him!"


    2 guards came forward to grab him, this was when de finally moved.


    Whoosh! Bam!


    The sound of the wind moving barely registered to the hearings of the 2 guards before the blunt metallic edge of a sword whipped them on the head.


    Both guards fell down unconscious the next moment.


    de did not kill them, he only knocked them unconscious.


    "Outrageous! Kill him!"


    More guards came, but de was not intimidated, he only smiled, he was more than ready to take all of them on at once.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    de''s Poseidon Fury kept on hitting heads, knocking brains unconscious.


    Grade F and Grade E superhumans simply no longer made the cut to him.


    The moremotion he caused, the more the mansion was riled up as more and more guards came outside to fight the intruder.


    Even when machine guns were involved, with his precognition and speed talent, de smoothly evaded their attacks.


    When the whole mansion was alerted about the powerful intruder, including Governor Grizzly, emergency measures started immediately.


    As a coward and being wary of the repercussions of his actions, Governor Grizzly was prepared for days like this if it eventually showed up.


    While all the guards were sent to go fight the intruder, not caring for their death, 20 guards escorted the Governor through a secret corridor to his underground bunker. The corridor was long with a lot of bends.


    At a corner of the corridor just after a sharp bend, Christensen stood with his Shadow Hound with his back rested against the wall.


    "Damn, I feel so badass like an assassin right now man".


    "If only I smoke, puffing out the smoke just after they show up, that would make me look even more badass".


    Thud! Thud!


    The sounds of hurried footsteps finally starteding.


    Brutus didn''t need his master''s reminder, he did the thing and both of them became invisible. The first batch of 10 guards led the way ahead without encountering any trouble, Governor Grizzly followed behind them.


    This was when the assassin struck.


    Whoosh!


    With the dagger on his hand, all Christensen needed was a poke.


    The dagger effortlessly dug into the neck of the Governor, when he removed his hand and left like the wind, the Governor paused as blood gushed out of his neck inrge volumes. The guards were stunned.


    "Assassin!"


    "Find the assassin!"


    "Don''t let him escape!"


    They tried but Christensen was already gone, the Governor was also gone, gone to the afterlife to continue his life of embezzling public money.


    Once de received the signal, he stopped the attack as abruptly as he started it before leaving.


    They tried to follow him but it was too easy for him to lose them, when he showed up again, he was now on bright yellow clothes after ditching his ck clothes. He met up with Christensen who was now on bright green clothes.


    Then both of them met with their Master who was now on bright red clothes.


    "Good job". Legs congratted them.


    As amotion started all across the Stonehill Prefecture, their bright clothes set them apart. After an assassination of such magnitude, assassins were supposed toy low, their bright attractive clothes sent the wrong message.


    Like that, they smoothly made their way out of the prefecture like rich tourists who were simply caught up in the evil assassination.


    As soon as they left, Legs received an alert through his special assassinm that he got after registering the Monster Triad unit.


    >Beep<


    >You have received a credit alert of 500,000 Darvis Credits into your unique Crimson des unit bank<


    >You have received a special message from your employers: Thank you, the Stonehill Prefecture will forever remain grateful to you<

    [You havepleted Grade D Mission: Justice to the Tyrant!]

    Your Assassin Unit has leveled up to level 1!


    ----


    Legs smiled. ''9 more levels to increase our rank rating''.


    ''This is what we''ll be doing to train and prepare for the Clown Society''.


    ''I also hope it gives me more ess to yers for more experience points, I need to be a Grade C Summoner as fast as possible''.


    With this assassination, the Monster Triad burst into the scene.

 Chapter 209 Rescuing Po, Fo, Lo, And Sho

    6 monthster¡­


    >Custom Assassination Mission: My Sweethearts!<


    >Mission Note: My Sweethearts! Po, Fo, Lo, and Sho, my little dwarf kitten pets have been kidnapped by the notorious Forest Dweller. They are my babies, I can''t afford to lose them, please rescue them, I''ll do anything<


    >Payment: 100,000,000 Darvis Credits<


    >Please, attached to the mission are 4 battle kitten gear. When you save them, please allow them to gear up and get their own revenge<


    Christensen looked at the sum and tsked his tongue. "Rich kids".


    This was a mission that was not pasted in the mission room, it was a custom mission that was personally given to them by a previous customer of theirs.


    In 6 months, the Monster Triad assassin unit was not idle. They already built a credible reputation after months of being in the assassin business.


    Custom missions starteding when their unit rank increased multiple times within the short period of just 6 months, a record-breaking run.


    Without hesitation, de epted the mission and left with Christensen.


    At a hotel, Legs took a hot bath while his 2 students were out doing what he had no idea about, and this was when he received the virtual notification.


    -----


    [Your students have triggered Grade D Mission: My Sweethearts!]


    ----


    "What the heck?" Legs watched soap away from his eyes.


    "They''ve started again!"


    He finally read the remaining parts of the virtual interface notification.


    -----


    [Mission Details: Po, Fo, Lo, and Sho are Mr. Albert''s favorite pets. Having listened to a story when he was young, he motivated himself to fulfill it. He trained all 4 of his dwarf kittens to be ninja Guardian kittens.]


    [Details: Unfortunately, they were captured by the beast trafficker, the notorious Forest Dweller. Help Albert rescue his favorite kittens and take revenge by killing the Forest Dweller.]


    [Mission Reward: 100,000,000 Darvis Credits, 300,000 Experience Points, +2000 Favorability with Albert, and +500 Favorability with the Landmark Construction Family.]


    ----


    "¡­"


    The mission rewards alone left Legs''s eyes as wide asnterns.


    Not only that, but also due to the identity of the assassination target. Beast traffickers were a thing in Darvis who were far more predominant than human traffickers, they became a thing like 4 months ago.


    During the past 6 months, even as the Monster Triad assassination unit thrived, a lot of things went on in the.


    The Clown Society was mostly quiet for the most part but due to the stubborn influence of King Tom, they became free to expand in the dark.


    The Clown''s preaching was influential, every day, more and more civilians and superhumans fell to the dark side. This was when beast traffickers became a thing, humans who trafficked beasts for crazy psychotic scientists like the Clown.


    The more the Clown learned about alien machines, the more he proliferated his teachings and affected, more and more humans picked it up.


    More and more humans were bing crazy scientists and this furthered the job of beast traffickers, capture beasts and sell them to scientists.


    As a Summoner, of course, Legs loathed the traffickers.


    Adding this reason to the ridiculous amount of money that was attached to this mission and the potential of getting close to the Landmark Construction Family, Legs got all his reasons to put his all into this mission.


    He elerated his bathing speed and in just a minute, he was done.


    He rushed back to the room and started getting prepared.


    He took onest look at his assassin unit status stats.

    5 minutester¡­


    Click!


    With a slight clicking sound and a push, de pushed the door open and entered as Christensen followed behind him. As soon as they entered though, they both stopped in shock as they saw their master already geared in the room.


    At this moment, Legs was in a tight-fitting ck vest. Strapped to his waist was a sword, and tied to his back was a gigantic bow.


    After months of development, this was the new Legs.


    de paused. "Uhh¡­"


    "You took another mission without my permission again".


    "Uhh, it''s actually a custom mission¡­"<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "I know, the 2 of you, get prepared, we''re leaving soon".


    de was caught off-guard. "Are you not mad?"


    "Why should I be? Get in and get ready let''s move out!"


    de kept quiet and calmly nodded in understanding.


    Christensen was surprised. "Won''t we follow our normal modus operandi, are we not having a session to properly research on the Forest Dweller?"


    Legs looked at his student and smiled. "I''m done already".


    "Ah¡­!"


    Another 5 minutester, the 3 warriors left the special hotel that belonged to a secret base of the Crimson des Assassins.


    ¡­


    Deep in the Misty Green Forest¡­


    The day was already dark and it was mid-night as a group of warriors moved through the dangerous Misty Green Forest.


    Moving alongside them were Mutated Camels that pulled gigantic chariots behind them. These special chariots were specially made to be cages, and these were the cages through which the captured beasts were transported.


    All types of beasts were in the cage, including some Grade E beasts. This was only possible because this entourage of traffickers was a powerful one.


    Their leader who led the entourage from the front, the Forest Dweller was a powerful Grade D Pugilist. He had a dark green hair color, and due to his penchant for wearing only dark green clothes, he effortlessly blended into the rain forest.


    He was not the only Grade D Superhuman of this trafficking group though. His assistant, his girlfriend, the poisonous sleeper was a Grade D Elementalist.


    Though not as strong as her husband, she had special abilities.


    She was a Water Elementalist but one who deviated towards a forbidden path. She focused on turning the water element into poison through which she could poison opponents, and also inflict other negative effects on them.


    Through her unique water maniption, their trafficking group was able to incapacitate a lot of beasts without needing to fight grueling battles with them.


    This was also how they were able to kidnap the 4 dwarf kittens.


    Apart from her poison, she also had other special abilities that enabled her to create mist. Her mist could easily spread across a kilometer, and anything that was exposed to the range of the mist was exposed to her.


    After months of beast trafficking, their abilities were no longer secret.


    At this moment, the night was silent like usual as they traveled through it. The Green Mist Forest was dangerous but having mastered its patterns, they knew when and where to pass through to avoid meeting the dangerous beasts.


    The danger of the forest also yed in their favor since it deterred a lot of mercenaries, assassins, and bounty hunters from targeting them.


    Not today though, today, they abducted some special 4 dwarf kittens.


    "Meow¡­!"


    "Miaow!"


    From inside their cages, the 4 dwarf kittens meowed as they voiced their panic. The stress and trauma of their experiences during the past day already made them forget a lot of their teaching, they were only scared at this moment.


    As they moved, the poisonous sleeper voiced her concern. "The Monster Triad have been sighted in our shelter not long ago".


    "Do you think it''s really safe for us to be engaging in business right now?"


    The Forest Dweller snorted. "We''ve faced assassins with even more notoriety than them, yet we survived. This is our domain, even if they''re arrogant enough toe after us here, we''ll simply beat them or even kill them".


    "I hope so". She said, but her tone clearly betrayed that she was still not at ease. For over an hour, they moved through the forest without trouble.


    When they were just a few kilometers away from their destination¡­


    Snap!


    "What was that?" The Forest Dweller became alert.


    "Who is that?" He turned to look at his girlfriend.


    "No one". She said with a frown. "My mist detects no intruder".


    The Forest Dweller red at the forest as he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.


    He barely heaved a sigh of relief when it came out.


    Whoosh!


    The arrow came with such speed and venom that the Forest Dweller had to call upon all his Pugilist instincts honed from training for decades to react fast enough to save his girlfriend, he grabbed her and pulled her down from the Camel.


    The Forest Dweller saved his woman just in time before the arrow hit.


    Christensen clicked his tongue. "Damn, they dodged".


    Legs calmly gave orders. "de, take care of the Forest Dweller".


    "Christensen, you take care of the Poisonous Sleeper".


    "I''ll free the beasts, remember, we''re setting all the beasts free".


    "Yes, Master".


    They exploded with speed, and the mission officially started.

 Chapter 210 The Battle Kittens

    Whoosh!


    de rushed towards the Forest Dweller as Poseidon''s Fury sang and resonated with him, his eyes were already turning pitch-ck.


    After months of honing his skills, de already became a renowned monster.


    His reputation as one of the strongest Grade D Pugilists in Darvis already spread far and wide, and with his exploits with the Monster Triad over the past few months, this title was not unfounded.


    Seeing the Pugilist charging towards him, the Forest Dweller''s eyes gleamed sharply. He also knew of his opponent''s reputation but he was not scared.


    "Arrogant fools! You really came!"


    "Yes, I did". de replied calmly as he arrived before his opponent.


    "It seems you don''t understand the notion of home advantage, I will teach you an unforgettable lesson today why you should respect your opponent when they are in their own turf".


    de''s eyes remained dropped in nonchnce and disinterest. "Home advantage makes no difference when you''re hunting a rabbit".


    "You dare!"


    The Forest Dweller punched as he already equipped his spiked gloves.


    Unlike de, he was a more natural Pugilist who preferred hand-to-handbat. His weapons were spiked gloves that he wore, with them, his punches carried a lot more damage potential.


    Apart from that, like he said, this was indeed his turf. He understood the forest so much that taking advantage of his surroundings, he experienced a surge in battle effectiveness but it remained to be seen if it made any difference.


    As soon as he threw a punch, de side-stepped, effortlessly dodging the punchpletely as Poseidon''s Fury finally shed down.


    Shing!


    The de edge of the sword reverberated as it shed.


    This battle may be in the night but it was not isted, hiding at a special angle behind a thick bush in the forest, Horny Assassin was able to record all the proceedings.


    This yer''s eyes gleamed excitedly. "Damn, I love de''s battle scenes man, they are the best!"


    A few hours ago¡­


    [You have received a new Grade E Mission: Video Coverage!]


    [Mission Details: Legs and the Monster Triad Assassin unit are about to go for another assassination, you have received a mission to cover them.]


    [Mission Rewards: 20,000 Experience Points!]


    This started exactly 3 months ago.


    After deciding to take the assassin route to train and get stronger, apart from traveling round the taking assassination missions andpleting them, Legs also set out to attract more yers into his faction.


    Within just a month of his travels, he was able to exhaust the 1000 quota of his faction that was allocated to him by his virtual interface status.


    In the end, he decided that 1000 yers were nowhere enough to further his goals, his goals of taking advantage of them to get experience points and level up further since even Predator''s speed was no longer up to his preference.


    He started giving opportunities to other yers that were not in his faction. Though he lowered the benefits, he still gave them opportunities to use their experience points to purchase things from his stockpile.


    This became his next profitable business to amass on experience points.


    The only problem was that for the first month, the reception was low.


    This was when the idea of publicity came to him, and the first yer that his mind went to was Horny Assassin. This yer became the perfect candidate to be the sidekick publicity secretary of the Monster Triad assassin unit.


    Even as the notoriety of the Monster Triad increased in the assassin business, due to Horny Assassin''s efforts, their poprity also increased in the yer circle due to the incredible battle videos that he edited and made.


    During every assassin mission, Horny Assassin tagged along and with his videos, every yer in the vicinity of their missions were exposed to the Monster Triad unit''s presence which invited business opportunities for Legs.


    With Horny Assassin, Legs was able to get the publicity that he wanted which directly tranted into more experience points on his part.


    Every month, Horny Assassin raked in experience points for him.


    Hidden behind the bush, Horny Assassin dutifully recorded.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    de was already a veteran assassin, it took only 2 sword shes for him to figure out his opponent, the next 3 shespletely decapacitated his opponent.


    In the end, the Forest Dweller''s little increase in strength didn''t matter much.


    de''s incrediblebination of his talents, most especially his debuff abilities and his incredible swordsmanship, the Forest Dweller could not take it.


    "Ugh¡­" This Pugilist coughed blood as his eyes widened in horror.


    "How can you be so strong?"


    de did not answer him, after incapacitating him, he had the option of shing away his opponent''s head or snapping it but he rather stayed prudent.


    de knocked the Forest Dweller unconscious.


    ¡­


    Whoosh!


    As soon as she discovered that it was the Monster Triad assassin unit, the Poisonous Sleeper did not have the balls to stay behind. She ruthlessly abandoned her man and went on the run but Christensen was right behind her heels.


    Riding on top Leo, he pursued this beast trafficker.


    ? Over the months, their synergy increased and was why Brutus was able to make all of them invisible, bypassing this woman''s mist field vision.


    Now, Brutus stayed with Legs while he pursued the culprit.


    The Poisonous Sleeper was fast, and with her poison, she made things difficult for Leo but annoyed already, Christensen simply upped his game.


    "Summoner Ability: Beast ne Summoning!"


    "Summoner Ability: Beast Integration!"


    After months of trying, he finally learned the Beast Integration Intermediate Summoner knowledge which subsequently helped him unlock the ability.


    Christensen was able to achieve a feat that his master achieved months ago. With his vastly increased control over his Summoner energy, he was able to open the rainbow bridge directly in front of his target where Frigga pounced from.


    She was startled, she could not dodge on time since it was too abrupt, before she could release her poisonous mist, the Snow Fenrir turned her into a ball of ice shaped in the form of a female.


    Leo ran closer and cheered on his brother.


    Christensen smiled and patted Frigga. "Good job".


    He bundled the bag of ice on his shoulders and returned.


    ¡­

    Bam! Bam!


    The beast traffickers stood no chance before Legs.


    With the only Grade D traffickers being taken care of by his students, the others were a bag of beans before him. The only reason why he even deemed it ok to attack them was so they could not kill the beasts in desperation.


    All that he needed was his fists to hammer them into unconsciousness.


    He soon located the cage where the 4 little dwarf kittens were kept.


    Po recognized that this was his savior. "Meow!"


    His meowing opened the reality to the others that they were being saved.


    "Miaow!" Sho cheered on excitedly.


    "Mew!"


    As the kittens meowed, all the other beasts started making noise.


    "Easy little ones, I''ll save you soon".


    Legs timed it and shed with his sword, the padlock could not withstand the force and the sharpness of the sword as it was cleanly cut in 2.


    The beasts in this cage charged out, without hesitation, they pounced on the beast traffickers who captured and tortured them.


    "Ahhh¡­!" Screams reverberated as humans were killed.


    In no time, Legs was able to set all the beasts free.

    ----


    On returning, Legs saw all 4 kittens looking at the battling beasts with longing on their eyes. On noticing him, they turned to look at him with puppy eyes.


    "Gulp¡­" Legs swallowed, he was simply enchanted by the sheer cuteness currently being disyed by these dwarf kittens.


    "Umm¡­, what do you want?"


    "Meow!"


    Legs suddenly remembered something.


    >Please, attached to the mission are 4 battle kitten gear. When you save them, please allow them to gear up and get their own revenge<


    His eyes widened. "The f*ck!"


    Coincidentally, he casually brought all the battle gear. He essed his storage ring and brought them out, as soon as all 4 dwarf kittens saw them, their eyes lit up.


    "Meow!!!" Po meowed excitedly.


    All of a sudden, like they had magic, a yellow energy erupted from them as the battle gear disappeared from Legs''s hand and got stuck in their body.


    Po donned his war gear as a powerful rod radiating energy appeared on his hand, this dwarf kitten now looked even more cute and slightly formidable.


    Legs was amused.


    As for Lo, he was also male. Apart from the war gear that he now donned, a short spear appeared on his hand that also radiated a powerful energy.


    Fo being a female was not excluded, she also donned her war gear as a powerful short sword appeared on her hand.


    Sho also donned her war gear as a powerful rod simr to Po''s appeared on her hand, instantly, the aura of the 4 dwarf kittens changed.


    "Meow!"


    "Miaow!"


    "Mew!"


    "Mewl!"


    As soon as they meowed together, they pounced on the filthy humans.


    Legs was amazed and shocked as these 4 little kittens fought like well-trained musketeers from an Ancient medieval cat world.


    Few beast traffickers escaped.


    When everything died down, the notification finally came.

    You have leveled up your Summoner- Shepherd main ss once to level 55


    ----


    On seeing this, a smile could not help but creep across Legs''s face.


    The past 6 months were some of the most grueling and entertaining moments of his life in both his lives. Alongside his 2 students, he was able to fulfil one of his long-time goals of being a real secret assassin.


    Every assassin mission that his unit took, every time that he left to the field, every time that his sword''s cold edge sank into warm flesh, every time that a heart stopped beating due to him, he felt a blood rush.


    And like this moment, every time that he managed to save up the required experience points to level up once, he also felt a blood rush.


    Legs could feel it. ''It''s no longer far''.


    ''The boundary to the Grade C realm is now closer than ever''.


    Apart from his incredible battle experience that contributed a lot to his overallbat power, he was also an incredible Summoner.


    And apart from all those, the exclusive abilities that he got from Christensen made things a lot easier for him, he could feel that he was now really close to the Grade C realm.


    ''Perhaps, I can hit this incredible milestone when I level up to level 60".


    On a whim, Legs decided to check his character interface status again.

    After looking through his status, Legs clicked his tongue in satisfaction.


    The most significant change was definitely his new subss. The Battle Controller subss amplified his greatest advantage, his intelligence and control.


    Having ledrge-scale gctic yers wars in his previous world, he was an expert at it. With this subss, controlling andmunicating with his beasts and his allies inrge-scale battles became much easier.


    It also yed arge part in him unlocking the Veteran Summoner talent.


    Legs was satisfied but he did not stop there though, just like him, in the past 6 months, all his beasts had been hardworking as they overcame milestones of their own.


    He also looked through their status.

    ----


    "Hehe¡­" Legs chuckled as he looked at his virtual interface remark.


    All his beasts experienced growth and increase except only one that he could not yet make contact with, Lucky was still missing after the encounters in the Elemental ne months ago where she left to get her inheritance.


    ''I wonder how she is faring''. Legs felt worried.


    ''Damn, she''s stubborn but she''s still mine, don''t dare leave me Lucky!''


    Amid his frenzied thoughts, Christensen stood before him. "So, what next?"


    Legs turned to look at the blood and mutted flesh that were the remains of the beast traffickers, most of the beasts that he rescued were already dispersing into the forest except the 4 dwarf kittens.


    Legs looked down at the kittens. "Before taking these guys home, there''s one time left that we need to do¡­"


    ¡­


    About a kilometer away from the just-concluded battlefield¡­


    "Ms. Chloe, did you feel the tremors?"


    "Yeah".


    "Are you not concerned?"


    "Tremors like that happen all the time here".


    "I also heard the sounds, that was a genuine battle!"


    "Yeah, there are genuine battles between beasts all day long here". The exasperated blonde-haired female finally removed her lenses from her eyes, which also removed her attention from the beast that she was dissecting apart.


    "John, be a good boy and just do your job, here is not like normal human shelters, this is the wild, remember this".


    "Now, go wait for our suppliers at the gate".


    "Ok¡­" The young man said before reluctantly turning to leave.


    He barely took a few steps when the tremors started again, this time directly from inside the base. His eyes widened, including Ms. Chloe''s as fear gripped her.


    "Quick, to the basement!" She reacted fast.


    Ms. Chloe rushed to gather some of her more important research documents, but before she was done, with a bam, the wall was torn open.


    A Pugilist with pitch-ck eyes stormed into the building.


    Ms. Chloe recognized him. "The Executioner¡­"


    She lost all hope and simply closed her eyes. "Please, give me a quick death".


    de granted her wish.


    Whoosh!


    Poseidon''s Fury''s de edge separated this beautiful female''s head from her body, he did not spare John either, this apprentice also lost his head.


    Chloe''s head rolled to the door as life rapidly left her.


    At herst moments, she was able to see outside through the veil of red that covered her sight. She saw heads littered outside like hers, the base already turned into a river of blood, her eyes finally faded into nothingness.


    Today, no prisoners were taken.


    A few minutester, de opened a book, his kill list.


    >My Kill List:<


    >Clown<


    >ck Master Einstein<


    >The Skull Necromancer<


    >Anyone rted to Max and Maggie<


    He drew a stroke through thest target on his list. ''Another target rted to Max and Maggie and the Clown Society exterminated''.


    ''A few more and I''ll finally get my revenge''.


    He clenched his fists.

 Chapter 212 Horny Assassins Publicity Strategy

    Time: 4:59pm


    ¡­


    Time: 5:00pm


    >Horny Assassin: All Manchester United fans, another brain-licking update for us, please stay tuned<


    >Horny Assassin: [Screenshot]- Me and my buddies at war<


    >Horny Assassin: [Screenshot]- ze the Fury at it again!<


    >Horny Assassin: [Screenshot]- Executioner the inevitable!<


    >Horny Assassin: [Screenshot]- Ash the sidekick and beast rider!<


    >Horny Assassin: Caption- You can''t dull my sparkle, forever ze the Fury''s sidekick [cool face emoji]<


    >Horny Assassin: [Video]- Watch how we do it in the Monster Triad unit [power to your elbow emoji]<


    Instantly after 5:00pm reached, like usual, Horny Assassin did not disappoint, he kept to time as he uploaded the daily dose of videos which made Dominator so iconic and well-loved worldwide already.


    Like usual, as soon as he uploaded them, the yer forum was sent into a frenzy. The excited yers were hyperactive as they chatted rapidly.


    >Multiple yers typing¡­<


    >Not cooked but roasted corn: Horny Assassin you hypocrite! You''vepletely abandoned Legs already, did you betray the Blue Autumn Team?<


    >Unleavened Bread: Damn, so Horny Assassin really became buddies with this assassin unit? How did he do it? Can we do it also?<


    >Fiesty Potato: Why does Horny Assassin hate Ash so much? I like him, I think he is actually the backbone of this assassin unit<


    >Fiesty Potato: Horny Assassin may call him a sidekick but if you look carefully, most times when they are in trouble, with that his powerful Wolf and mysterious beast that is always invisible, they always save the day<


    >Fiesty Potato: I know ze is the undisputed leader of the team, I also acknowledge that Executioner is a crazy powerful Pugilist, but Ash, I think he is actually the fulcrum of this team that keeps it stable<


    >Your Dad: Hey you Fiesty Potato! Stop spouting sh*t! This is not a f*cking English ss, this is a f*cking Video Game, use simple English!<


    >Fiesty Potato is typing<


    >Multiple yers are typing¡­<


    >Sweet in the middle: Guys, I have a theory. Due to the rise of the Monster Triad assassin unit, I''ve been thinking of something. I don''t think Legs is the main character of version 1 anymore, maybe the Monster Triad are the main characters<


    This theory from sweet in the middle ignited a storm.


    >Multiple yers are typing¡­<


    >Multiple yers are typing¡­<


    >I am the Sword God: Wait, I''ve been overlooking it since but damn, is this right? Don''t you think this video was taken in the Green Mist Forest?<


    >I am the Sword God: Holy Sh*t! The Monster Triad is in our shelter!<


    >I am the Sword God: Horny Assassin! Tell! Tell! Where are they?!"


    >Die-hard Legs fan: F*ck Legs! Where''s the location Horny Assassin, we can''t let this opportunity to get next level ess pass us by!"


    On his VR helmet, Horny Assassin smiled as he looked at the new set of messages. His real objective was finally met, he smiled and inputted his reply.


    >Horny Assassin: Come to the front of the Landmark Construction Company<


    >Die-hard Legs fan: Yeah man!<


    >Executioner''s Crush: Horny Assassin, you dah best!"


    >Multiple yers are typing¡­<


    Thud! Thud!


    The sound of their hooves as the horses pulled the chariot reverberated.


    At this moment, from inside the chariot, Legs rxed as he casually nced at the banter and jokes currently going on in the yer forum.


    He saw everything that transpired from when Horny Assassin dropped the advert material and when the yers finally caught on the clue.


    This was now his way to relieve stress daily.


    Despite the fact that Dominator was a VR game, the general yer forum was made in a way to ept only word messages. Voice chats could easily make the forum chaotic, so only word chats were epted.


    Of course, there were special privileges for videos and screenshots but they had their own channel.


    You had to be famous for yers to go view your screenshots and videos inrge numbers, and Horny Assassin happened to be the current most famous yer in Darvis, even more than pro yers.


    "Hehe¡­" Legs chuckled as he read some of the chats.


    He deliberately created the confusion in the general yer forum. To make his 2 identities as full-proof as possible, he also wanted to deceive the yers.


    Since the emergence of the Monster Triad, the activities of Legs and his students became more lowkey. He allowed the Monster Triad to take all the limelight, but he still set some boundaries to keep on their fa?ade.


    In all the assassin missions, he took on more of a support role. Due to how famous and unique his beasts were, whenever he was forced to bring them out to battle, he always made sure to kill all the witnesses.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Only Christensen couldfortably bring out Leo, and on their missions, Brutus was always invisible to give the notion that he had an invisible beast.


    Whenever he also had to bring Frigga, all witnesses were also killed.


    Only de stayed true to himself, due to his incredible improvement speed, those who knew the old him could barely rte both Pugilists. The de of now was much more powerful, experienced, and ruthless than before.


    The drive of revenge was a powerful one to seek power.


    This way, Legs was able to keep up their 2 identities. Not even the pro yers and Blue River knew the truth, Horny Assassin was the only yer who knew the truth but Legs already bribed him with enough benefits.


    Like a wise man once said, when there are enough benefits, everyone bends.


    After a few dozen minutes, the horses finally came to a stop. They finally arrived at the gigantic mansion of the Landmark Construction Family.


    They didn''t go to their living mansion, this was thepany headquarters.


    As the premier constructionpany in Darvis, they were worth befriending. Legs and his 2 students took the 4 dwarf kittens inside.


    Once they were inside thepany, they met their employer in his office, the sole heir to the gigantic fortune of the Landmark Construction Family.


    Thiago was a handsome middle-aged man with a neatly-trimmed hair and a pair of work sses, he smiled at them. "I''ve heard a lot about you, I''m d you did not disappoint, you''re exactly as they say".


    "The assassins of the future, that is what they call you".


    His smile widened. "Wee to my office".


    "Thank you". Legs and his students politely smiled at this rich kid.


    As soon as Legs and his students dropped the 4 dwarf kittens on the floor, they rapidly scurried over to their owner as Thiago''s smile widened to the limit.


    Clearly, this man adored his pets. "Come here boys".


    "Miaow!"


    "Oh, sorry Sho, not just boys". Thiago chuckled and rubbed her head. "Come here too girls".


    He hugged them as they all cuddled with him for a few seconds before moving away, a smile was still on his face as he turned to face his clients.


    Legs smiled. "I can see that you love them a lot".


    "Yes, I do". Thiago replied proudly.


    "I told you guys that I was inspired by a story that I read to get them. Since getting them, I never regretted it once, they are cute Guardian kittens".


    "They are my babies as well as my bodyguards".


    "I intend for them to be as strong as Ash''s Wolf someday".


    Christensen smiled. "They definitely have the potential".


    "Yes, or else I would not have bought them". He chuckled. "They''re more intelligent than most beasts that are stronger than them which is a boon".


    "I like wits more than brute strength, that is why I choose you guys for the mission". Thiago looked at Legs with a smile.


    It was no longer news of how smart ze the Fury was.


    Legs politely smiled and stood up. "I hope we can keep on working together in the future".


    From the little conversation, he already understood this middle-aged man''s personality. If he gave him enough ground, Thiago was ready to keep on talking about the 4 kittens till the next day which was time that he didn''t have.


    "Yes, we definitely will".


    "Ahh¡­, your money". Thiago motioned at his assistant who quickly went to work, he turned to briefly apologize to the assassins.


    A few secondster, Legs''s assassin unitm beeped.


    >Beep<


    >You have received a credit alert of 100,000,000 Darvis Credits into your unique Crimson des unit bank<


    Legs looked at this billionaire. "Thank you for your generosity".


    Thiago smiled in reply.


    -----


    Your Favorability with Thiago has increased by +200


    ----


    ''Damn, sometimes, it''s just too easy to farm favorability with rich kids''.


    With that, they finally left thepany mansion. On going outside, Legs was not surprised, a battalion of yers were already waiting for him.


    He smiled. ''Horny Assassin is such a darling''.

 Chapter 213 Undercurrents

    Having went ahead of his master and his senior brother, de dragged the chariot housing his master''s goods before the yers.


    Whispers already filled the air though they tried to keep it muffled.


    -----


    [Special Monster Triad Trade Fare:]


    [Avable Goods: Summoner ss knowledges, Elementalist ss knowledges, Pugilist ss knowledges, sub ss knowledges, weapons, gadgets, armor, potions, and pills.]


    [Trade Duration: 1 hour.]


    ----


    As soon as Legs set up the trade fare, all the hundreds of yers that were present received notifications from their virtual interface that made their eyes light up excitedly, they were hyped for it.


    Their onlyint was the time.


    "Only 1 hour?!"


    "Sh*t, we have to be fast".


    During thest trade fare, Christensen was the one in charge of organizing the yers and attending to them so they could get what they wanted.


    This time, it was de''s turn. Christensen and Legs got to rx inside the chariot as de stood under the hot sun attending to the enthusiastic yers.


    The only boon that made this process faster was that having received Legs''s permission, through their virtual interface, they could easily ess all of the goods that were for sale and their prizes.


    [Iron Sword: Deep Piercer]


    [Quality: Umon]


    >Attack: 68-102<


    >Defense: 35<


    >Durability: 120/120<


    [Weapon Ability: High Pration!]


    >High Pration: When activated, high pration is triggered that grants the sword the ability to pierce deeper through flesh or any other obstruction, increasing weapon damage depending on how deep it pierces<


    [Remark: A sword with simr specialties to ance.]


    [Price: 40,000 Darvis Credits and 100,000 Experience Points.]


    I am the Sword God''s eyes widened in ecstasy. Like Ghost Sentry, this was a yer who came to Dominator with extremely high ambitions, he wanted to be a pro yer and y professionally for a big game club.


    Ghost Sentry already fulfilled his dream but as for him, not so lucky.


    Since Version 1unched, he kept his steady grinding to umte experience points and slowly level up while looking for opportunities to get ahead.


    When he heard of Legs, he was envious, he wanted to also benefit from the NPC but Legs was too far away.


    And since the growth cap of yers in Version 1 was the Grade E realm, he was not powerful enough to traverse the wild since he was even still a Grade F superhuman then.


    He thought he would keep on longing after Legs without getting any closer to fulfilling his dream for the whole of the version, but one day, everything changed, like Legs, a hero also emerged in his region.


    The Monster Triad''s areas of activity were closer to his shelter.


    Optimistic, this yer stayed hopeful for 4 months waiting for the Monster Triad toe to his shelter. During this time, he amassed on experience points.


    It was easier to get experience points than Darvis Credits, this was another reason why Legs and the Monster Triad became so popr among the yers.


    Now, he could finally reap the benefits of his patience.


    I am the Sword God spent all his experience points and money on the trade fare. He was not the only one, other yers splurged their money and experience points as they rapidly purchased before the time interval would pse.


    Inside the chariot, Legs''s interface kept on lighting up with notifications.


    -----


    A yer has purchased a potion!


    You have received 700 Experience Points and 20 Darvis Credits


    ¡­


    A yer has purchased a basic Summoner ss knowledge!


    You have received 10,000 Experience Points and 2,000 Darvis Credits

    A yer has purchased Umon grade sword: Deep Piercer!


    You have received 100,000 Experience Points and 40,000 Darvis Credits


    ¡­


    ¡­


    ----


    As the virtual interface notifications kept on lighting up, the smile on his face widened, Christensen curiously looked at his master.


    "Why do you do this?"


    "Huh? Legs turned to look at him.


    "This? Why do you do it?"


    Legs turned away. "To get money, of course".


    Christensen looked at his master with that are you serious look. "We literally just bagged 100,000,000 Darvis Credits from a single rich kid mission like you always like to put it, is that not enough for you?"


    "Tell me the real reason why you do it".


    "You won''t understand". Legs chuckled.


    "Just tell me, I may understand".


    Legs turned to look at Christensen. "Do you want to know the reason so bad?"<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "Yes". Christensen answered sincerely.


    "Then overtake me, be stronger than me".


    "¡­"


    "The day that you get strong enough that you save me from death, I will tell you". Legs chuckled as he saw the expression on Christensen''s face.


    Christensen sighed. "Well, I believe I can do it".


    "Don''t forget today, when I overtake you, you must tell me".


    A few minutester, the 1-hour duration finally got psed and like he wrote, Legs did not listen to the pleas of the yers as he ruthlessly ended the trade fare. The reason why he limited the time to an hour was important.


    Today was the day for another grey world gathering which wouldmence in 30 minutes, they all needed to get prepared and be in attendance.


    15 minutester, Legs was in an inn with his students.


    As soon as they all sat cross-legged and closed their eyes, Legs secretly tapped the grey apple tattoo that was on his wrist.


    The next moment, his consciousness left his body.


    Bzzz!


    ¡­


    Having kept up to date with everything that transpired in the grey world more tightly than before, Legs didn''t have a long conversation with Aaron.


    They went straight to the point and set the stage for the gathering.


    A few minutester, he pulled all the members of the gathering in.


    Bzzz! Bzzz!


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit". The cheerful voice of the Star reverberated like usual as she concluded the ritual of the first greeting.


    Her voice always brought with it a cheerful and optimistic vibe to the gathering. As soon as she extended her respects to the leader of the gathering, the others followed suit as they respectfully bowed and greeted.


    Since there was no new member this time, they went straight to the first phase of the gathering where the Emperor took centerstage first.


    She already reported to the Hermit through his prayers in the previous month but to also inform the other members of the gathering, he said it here.


    "More unrest has been detected among the Undead Titans".


    "Since our sh with them 6 months ago that drove them back, we seemed to arrive at a delicate bnce that both sides acquainted to".


    "Though they''ve not attacked yet, in recent weeks, more activities have been detected in their city, our scouts dare not go too close due to the danger involved but we have a lot of reasons to conclude that they are nning something big".


    After the Emperor gave his own information, the Star followed his lead. "Over the months, I''ve gotten a firmer grasp over my family".


    "Just a week ago, one of my father''s spies returned".


    "ording to him, there''s also unrest in the royal family".


    "The King is reportedly ill and is apparently showing no signs of healing".


    "Taking advantage of this, the King''s eldest son is already causing a lot of unrest in his bid to horde all the power after the death of his father".


    "My father fears this might cause a civil war if the King dies now".


    After the first 2 members gave their own ounts, the other members of the gathering also gave theirs. From their travels around the as assassins, Legs and his students already also detected a lot of anomalies recently.


    In the end, the Hermit concluded on one thing.


    "It seems the Clown Society is about to finallymence their real revolution".


    A chill spread through the grey world as the almighty Hermit said this. Having established a reputation through most of his wordsing to pass in the real world, every member of the gathering already grew to idolize his words.


    "Before giving my orders, first I want to congratte all of you".


    "All members of the gathering are now above the Grade E realm".


    All eyes instinctively turned to look at the Star.


    Despite the grey fog obstructingplete view, at this moment, the others could still feel the pride and sense of achievement radiating from the Star.


    The others were happy for this achievement, they congratted her.


    After the congrattions, the Hermit finally gave his orders. For today''s gathering, the Hermit already interchanged the time for the 2nd and 3rd phase of the gatherings due to the necessity urged by the Clown Society.


    "Emperor, I am giving you a new mission".


    "Venture into the Ancient Titan City and give me a better overview of what is going on, I will help you through your journey".


    "Yes, your Excellency". The Emperor bowed respectfully.


    The Hermit turned his godly head. "Star, keep a keener eye on any news rted to the royal pce, I want you to actively search for information about it now, I feel something pivotal would happen soon".


    "Yes, your Excellency". The Star bowed respectfully.


    The Hermit turned his godly head again. "Magician, you shall go to the North and search if there is any anomaly going on there also".


    "We need to know the Clown''s n ahead of time to defeat him".


    "Yes, your Excellency". They all replied.


    After this session, the transaction phase finallymenced. Unlike previous gatherings, the transaction was not much this time around. As Grade D superhumans, they no longer needed as much random goods as before.


    What they needed to grow now were far more exclusive and targeted.


    They were all rare goods.


    After the transaction phase finally came to an end, without hesitation, Legs finally called an end to the grey world gathering.


    Bzzz!


    All the members'' consciousnesses were returned to their bodies.

 Chapter 214 Taking Action

    Bzzz!


    "Woof!"


    As soon as Sophia''s consciousness returned to her body, having grown used to it already, Lily instantly knew as she stood up and barked.


    Sophia smiled as she opened her eyes and tenderly rubbed the golden retriever''s fur. As she was rubbed, Lily purred in a satisfied manner as she slowlyid on the ground even as her eyes narrowed into slits.


    While she caressed her pet, a lot of things went through Sophia''s mind.


    ''Is it finally beginning?'' She dreaded the mere thought of it.


    After bing a super for months already, through the incredible wealth that was avable to her, she was able to buy her way up rapidly.


    And with experts like Aaron, Legs, and Altan who knew the stuff expertly guiding her, she was able to cut a lot of corners which was the only reason why she progressed so fast but now she could no longer progress as fast.


    She didn''t care about this problem much though, at this moment, she already attained a level that she never dared think she could achieve before.


    Even her father''s main bodyguard who only agreed to work for them because of Governor Bam''s special plea was a Grade D Pugilist, this alone was enough to tell her how much she had grown since making contact with the Hermit''s gathering.


    She was grateful for everything every single time that she thought of it.


    Thud! Thud!


    Badump! Badump!


    At this moment, even without closing her eyes, one of her passive abilities was active as she could feel and hear all the sounds outside her room.


    She could feel the thudding steps as servants gently walked across the mansion engaging in different tasks, she could also feel Elizabeth''s heart beats.


    Having took time to master it from inside her room, she could already recognize different heart beats.


    Through them, she could read emotions, she could know if there was an intruder, if the person was sad, happy, or even came with evil intentions. Like they said, the heart was the way to the mind and the mind was the way to the soul.


    Though when he gave the missions, the Hermit did not sound urgent. To Sophia, for a person of His stature, it was unbefitting to sound urgent.


    What may seem casual to Him may prove lethal to all humans.


    This was why she took her orders with urgency.


    ''If the Hermit instructed me to actively get any information about the royal family, then it definitely means that something would go down soon''.


    ''I can''t ck this time''.


    She stood up and called out. "Elizabeth!"


    Her beautiful maid entered the room. "Lady Sophia, you called".


    "I need you to go to my office today, you''ll take care of things in my ce today".


    "Huh?" Her maid was clearly puzzled.


    "I have other matters to take care of, now move". She shooed her away.


    Though she was puzzled, having gotten used to thedy''s entricities over thest few months, she did notin and went to fulfill the order.


    Months ago, after bing a Grade E Earth Elementalist, Sophia finally decided to open a businesspany that dealt in supers material business.


    Sophie''s Empire was another reason why she was always the main member of the Hermit''s gathering who was most active during every transaction session.


    As soon as Elizabeth left, Sophia donned her brown custom-made attire. With this attire, she already snuck out of the mansion numerous times without alerting her parents to go train her abilities in the outside world.


    5 minutester¡­


    After the assassination attempt on his life, Mr. Keane apart from augmenting the defense of his mansion also created a special office for himself.


    He no longer followed his merchant group physically for business trades.


    On the corridor leading to the special office, Mr. Davies, Mr. Keane''s personal assistant walked through with documents in his hands towards the office.


    "Earth Elementalist Ability: Earth Shift!"


    He barely heard the whisper before the earth shifted.


    Mr. Davies was shocked the next moment as he was no longer facing forward, the ground where he stepped on moved on its own volition as it dragged him closer to the wall while also making him to face the wall.


    This was when he saw the figure on brown clothes that hid in the wall.


    "Mr. Davies, it''s me". Sophia gave an awkward smile.


    Sophia didn''t know a better way to do this so she was straightforward.


    "Actually, I''m an Elementalist".


    "I need your help with something".


    "I know". Mr. Davis was calm was he saw the culprit.


    "Huh?" Sophia was stunned.


    "Did you think your father could really be fooled for so long?"


    "Your sudden increased interest in super-rted matters, your sudden fanatism and need for super materials, and your little daily shenanigans to train your powers, did you think they all escaped your father''s notice?"


    "¡­" Sophia was speechless.


    Mr. Davies smiled. "Follow me, he will speak with you".


    A few secondster, they were both in Mr. Keane''s office. Seeing the both of them together, Mr. Keane raised his eyebrows as he looked at his assistant.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Mr. Davies only shrugged.


    "Ahem¡­" Sophia cleared her throat. "Dad, I need your help with something".


    "Actually, I''m an Elementalist".


    Mr. Keane''s eyes widened in understanding. "Does that exin your tant way of spying and listening on our conversations?"


    "¡­"


    "Ahh¡­, cough¡­" Sophia coughed violently.


    Mr. Keaneughed. "What do you want?"


    Sophia no longer beat around the bush, once she knew that her father was aware all along, everything became easier. She told him what she wanted.


    Mr. Keane showed concern. "What I''m about to tell you is confidential information, I hope your secret organization is a good one".


    "¡­" Sophia''s eyes widened.


    "You also thought that would escape my notice?" He chuckled.


    The next moment, his face turned serious. "ording to my sources, the leaders and powerhouses of our have made a decision".


    "They''ve decided that King Tom is no longer fit to rule our".


    Sophia''s eyes widened, she filled in the nks. "A coup?!"


    Her father nodded subtly.


    "Thank you, dad, I really appreciate this".


    "Also, rest assured, my organization is not an evil one". She smiled cutely.


    On returning to her room, she knelt and prayed to the Hermit.


    ¡­


    Altan walked around his home as he arranged everything that he needed.


    Jeldia held her little son in her embrace as she slowly caressed his head, she already had an idea of what he was about to do and she felt sad.


    "Do you really need to go?"


    Altan turned to look at his wife, he didn''t answer, he continued packing.


    A few minutester, he was done as he stood up and walked towards her. He rubbed his little son on the head and kissed him.


    "I''ll miss you kiddo".


    He stood up again and motioned to give his wife a parting kiss.


    Jeldia rejected him as tears streamed down her eyes. "I hope deep inside your heart of stone, you still remember the notion of family".


    "I hope you seed and it makes you happy".


    She turned to look at him onest time with tear-filled eyes. "I hope you finally find some purpose after you finish serving your god".


    Altan raised a hand to pat her forfort but he paused, the next moment he grabbed his bag and turned around to leave.


    "You''ll understand what I''m doing after I seed".


    He left his parting words before embarking on his journey deep into the desert fearlessly.


    ¡­


    As soon as Legs felt his grey apple tattoo pulse, he left what he was doing and isted himself from his students before tapping it.


    Sophia''s gentle and mesmerizing voice floated into his ears.


    After listening to everything, Legs''s eyes widened. ''A coup? There was no indication of this in my previous life''.


    He frowned, things were slowly spiraling out of his prediction and control. The ripple effects of his reincarnation were affecting the progression of events more than he expected, he could no longer predict things as urately as before.


    ''Also, Richard left back to the Pugilist Academy headquarters when he was currently supposed to be on leave''. Legs'' eyes narrowed in suspicion.


    After practicing with her abilities for months, Sophia detected some abnormalities in her brother and she did not hold back from informing the Hermit.


    After he was informed, Legs reflected back to his meeting with this man and remembered that he was the only one whom his virtual interface didn''t inform of a favorability increase which made his eyebrows rise then.


    He made Sophia spy on her.


    With the recent developments, his sudden movement drew his suspicion.


    He stood up the next moment. As Christensen got prepared to go fulfill the Hermit''s mission, he went to meet de. "Get ready, we''ll be leaving soon".


    "Where?"


    "To the West".


    de no longer asked, he stood up and got ready to leave.


    As soon as Christensen left to the North, they embarked on a journey to the Western Continent where the Pugilist Academy had their headquarters.

 Chapter 215 The New Necromancy King

    Hidden at the deepest depths of the Northern Continent where it was coldest and darkest, an undead kingdom hibernated far away from human habitation.


    At this time of the year, winter was already close.


    This was not the reason why most of the skeletons in this ancient Undead Kingdom were more active than usual though. At this moment, the skeletons of this undead kingdom were more active due to something else.


    The skeleton warriors, skeleton archers, skeleton knights, and even the skeleton Giants at this moment had their yellow eyes flickering ominously as they all stared at the throne chamber where greater activity was being detected.


    From their ominous yellow eyes, a bit of excitement could be detected.


    At this moment, after sitting on the throne for months, Pseudo-ck Master Daemon did not onlypletely recover, but he rapidly improved.


    Banking all his meditation on the inspiration that he got from his sh against the monster Pugilist, lots of bottlenecks started breaking before him. Though it started slowly, with time, more bottlenecks were broken.


    In yer terms, this Pseudo-ck Master was already a superhuman who got to the very peak of the Grade D realm. He was long overdue to breakthrough.


    The only thing holding him back was the stringent advancement mission that he unfortunately encountered. Now, with de, hepleted the advancement mission which became the epiphany that he needed to breakthrough.


    BOOM!


    Every few weeks, a powerful energy erupted with the Necromancer as the center as the whole undead Kingdom felt the powerful energy fluctuations.


    At this moment, the spooky green mes that burned in his skull head also intensified as the weeks passed, bing akin to a green torch in the darkness.


    The torch illuminated the darkness that dominated this cold world.


    Today, another powerful energy fluctuation erupted.


    BOOM!


    After the energy eruption, the green mes on Daemon''s skull burned brighter than ever before, bing akin to the sun. It''s only difference from the sun was that instead of emitting heat, it emitted cold energy.


    The yellow mes for eyes burning in the sockets of the numerous skeletons watched excitedly as they could already tell that a new King was about to be born.


    After centuries, a new Necromancy King was about to be born.


    Throughout all these changes, Daemon previously had his eyes closed, it was after this energy eruption that he finally opened them.


    His eye sockets burned fervently with a fiery mix of yellow and green mes.


    The only problem was that the energying from inside his body at this moment was too powerful, it was like he was about to explode into a thousand pieces. His eyes slowly became hollow even as the mes burned fiercer.


    Crack!


    His skull started revealing cracks but this was when he finally muttered.


    His mouth finally opened as he muttered incantations.


    "From death was I made".


    "I forfeited my mortal self and embraced the body of the god of death¡­"


    "Grant me the ability to summon spirits to proliferate the faith of death¡­"


    "Grant me the ability to be one with death¡­"


    "Grant me the ability to be death itself¡­"


    Daemon himself was not sure who he was muttering these specific words to, but as instructed in the pamphlet that was left for him by his benefactor, if he was ever able to get an epiphany, at thest moments, he should say these words.


    As soon as Daemon said these words, there was a reaction.


    BOOM!


    For the first time in centuries, the eternal darkness that covered the undead kingdom was broken by a higher power. A pitch-ck lightning engulfed with highly concentrated undead energy tore its way into Darvis.


    It tore its way straight to the North and tore the veil of darkness apart.


    With the veil torn apart, the ck lightning struck him and engulfed himpletely. Daemon jerked as pain and power filled his body, the 2 different sensationspletely overwhelmed his senses as he screamed maniacally.


    "Ahhhh¡­!!!"<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    His screams turned to roars filled with power.


    Even the clouds in the heavens seemed to resonate with his roars.


    This continued for minutes before another change finally took ce.


    Crack!


    Daemon''s body was not repaired, rather, more cracks spread through it. Daemon was not scared this time though, he did not suppress it as he let the cracks spread. The next moment, his body exploded.


    Fragments of his tempered skin flew out like shrapnels from exploded metal but Daemon did not die, rather, a new body came from underneath the old one.


    Daemon was reborn!


    He was reborn as a Grade C Necromancer!


    He was reborn as the new Necromancy King!


    Sizzle! Crack!


    Even the airspace itself could not withstand his power. Unable to fluently control his newly discovered power, Daemon''s power spread like wildfire as different sounds reverberated in the air like thunder and exploding dominoes.


    This incredible undead energy spread through this massive undead kingdom, waking it up from its centuries-long hibernation and activating all its powers.


    Apart from the weak skeleton warriors, skeleton archers, and the skeleton Giants, the stronger skeletons that previously hibernated finally woke up.


    The strongest of them all was the mighty Bone Dragon.


    As soon as the yellow eyes of this Bone Dragon snapped open, it pped its wings as a mighty frost energy erupted with it as the center. This mighty Grade C Bone Dragon looked fixatedly at his new King then he roared loudly.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    The roar reverberated through the North, announcing the birth of a King.


    Themotion did not end just in the North, at the different continents of Darvis, like experienced every time, signs appeared in the skies.


    All the knowledgeable ones were stunned. "A new Grade C superhuman has been born!"


    While themotion went on across the whole¡­


    Bzzz!


    The air briefly shifted then Clown appeared again in the Undead Kingdom.


    Whoosh!


    "Stop¡­!"


    The Bone Dragon barely pped its wings before Daemon, its new King ordered it to stop. Clown looked up at the Bone Dragon who already closed the distance to him before it was ordered to stop.


    He smiled. "Old friend¡­, you did it".


    "Hahaha¡­" Daemon suddenly seemed to gain Clown''s entricities, heughed like a maniac as he let his powerful Grade C energy run amuck.


    "I¡­ feel¡­ Powerful!"


    After letting his old friend to bask in his newly-gained powers, Clown stared straight at him. "Are you ready to fulfill the dream with us?"


    Daemon calmed down. "Of course!"


    Clown grinned. "Only the Ancient Trolls are remaining".


    "A world of chaos beckons". Heughed maniacally.

 Chapter 216 Subduing The Ancient Trolls

    Compared to all the Ancient historical races that once were the overlords of Darvis, the Ancient Trolls were definitely the weakest.


    They had thergest numbers among all the Ancient races but they were looked down on, with most of their members being turned to ves and servants of the other races before the humans came.


    Unlike the other races that hadplicated economies and a leadership structure, the Trolls were more or lessplete monsters.


    Though they had some basic intelligence, it didn''t matter much since they still relied on their basic instincts of savagery and cannibalism to survive.


    The only reason why they were recognized as one of the Ancient historical races was because of their sheer speed and the overall power that they had.


    They were more powerful than any other wild beast in Darvis.


    During the cataclysm that wiped out almost all lives of the Ancient historical races, perhaps their numbers were too much or the entity who caused the cataclysm didn''t deem them worthy of elimination, but a lot of them survived.


    Despite surviving, they did not have the intelligence to im hegemony over the. They could only watch as the humans rose to power.


    After rising to power, the humans ughtered a lot of them before pushing their remaining survivors to the edge of the Great Sea in the Eastern Continent.


    For centuries, the leaders of humanity kept tabs on them to prevent them from overpopting to the extent where they could be a threat to humans.


    Most humans didn''t know of this truth, only those at the top knew.


    In their quest for chaos though, the Clown Society set their eyes on these survivors of the cataclysm. They may be foolish but they were powerful.


    If harnessed right, they were the perfect carriers of chaos.


    At this moment, deep in the East close to the edge of the Great Sea¡­


    The sounds of the waves of the Great Sea washing against the shore continually reverberated as a simple-minded species did their thing.


    Behind the artificially-made gigantic rocks were the survivors of the Ancient Troll race. Created by some of the most powerful Elementalists of humanity, the Trolls were unable to cross the rocks to the other side to meet the humans.


    They were locked here for eternity unless they evolved.


    Well, Trolls were Trolls, even if they evolved, they never seemed to get the necessity to evolve in a direction to improve their intelligence.


    At this moment, hidden on top the rocks were elite superhumans.


    By blending into their surroundings, none of the Trolls were able to discover them as these Red Masters continually watched the Trolls and sent the results of their observations to the ck Masters back in the Hellfire Mountains.


    Their leader was a muscr female warrior on all ck. "The Almighty Clown ising today, we need to make sure that they stay together".


    "Don''t let any Troll stray too far away from here".


    By using their special abilities which was why they were all deployed here, these bunch of Red Masters were able to keep all the Trolls in ce.


    About 2 hourster, the real fighting force finally arrived.


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Distorted Reality!"


    As soon as Clown arrived with his entourage, he slightly waved his Elementalist staff as bybining his 2 Elemental affinities of fire and wind, he was able to distort the airspace to create a distorted reality.


    Despite floating in the air above the Trolls, none of them was able to see him.


    Clown''s entourage for this incredibly important mission were only 20 psychopaths. Adding that to the 8 Red Masters that were previously here, this was a force that was nowhere enough to force the numerous Trolls into submission.


    The Trolls were more than a thousand.


    Despite theck of psychopaths that came with him, what the 20 psychopaths instead dragged here were gigantic cages that housed some of Clown''s prime experimental sess products.


    The Trolls may not seem like much but they were renowned as one of the Ancient races because of a reason. Their green skin may not be as tough as that of the Frost Giants, but it was still reasonably resilient and strong.


    They had a fair amount of strength but their greatest traits were their speed and aggressiveness, they attacked like a pack of rabid Hounds.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    With their incredibly long nails that were sharper than sabers, they could effortlessly cut humans apart like they were slicing through mere bread.


    Despite being a Grade C Elementalist and an extremely powerful one at that, Clown was not arrogant enough to go against all these Trolls alone. Not when he already knew that there was a hidden threat not even known to the royal family.


    After centuries of growth hidden behind the rocks, the Trolls already birthed another Grade C powerhouse who was intelligent enough to hide from the humans.


    It was after detecting this Troll that Clown''s interest on them rose.


    To him, they were the perfect carriers of chaos to fulfill his dream.


    He did note to fight them with his psychopaths though, he came to fight them and subdue them with his new creations. After integrating the Giant runes on his skin, he did not stop, he continued his crazy experiments for months.


    A lot of them were sessful, he already created more mechanical monsters like the ones that he made for the 6 Ninja Assassins.


    Clown grinned. "Come out my children, subdue the Trolls".


    As soon as he said this, the 20 psychopaths that followed him here rushed to work as they released the powerful restraints that kept the cages locked.


    "Roar!"


    "Roar¡­!"


    "Roar¡­!!!"


    The roars of beasts soon filled the air as they broke free from their cages.


    From the cages came out deformed monsters. Beasts with some parts of their bodies still intact and organic, while the rest parts of their bodies were mechanical having been modified by Clown already.


    Of these sessful experiments, 2 of them had Grade C aura.


    One was a gigantic bird of prey, a Bald Eagle with an extremely menacing aura, while the other was an equally gigantic Frost Wolf.


    If Legs and Christensen were here, they would have recognized this Frost Wolf. This was the Frost Wolf that almost destroyed Palm Ind before Clown personally came to subdue and take it away.


    This beast already became one of Clown''s experimental sess stories.


    As soon as the special beasts came out, their auras swept through the Trolls as their attention were finally drawn. These monsters growled loudly.


    Clown grinned. "Hahaha¡­!"


    "Hehehe¡­!"


    "Hohoho¡­!"


    He cared not about how he looked as heughed, this was his masterpiece.


    "My children, attack!"


    The chip that was on their brain registered their creator''smand.


    All the beasts looked at the Trolls.


    "ROAR!!!"


    A war began.

 Chapter 217 Clowns Masterpiece; The Might Of The Bio-Mechanic Beasts!

    BOOM!


    An extremely concentrated ball of ice was unleashed from the mouth of the Grade C Frost Wolf as the temperature in this area instantly lowered.


    The impact as it mmed into about a dozen Trolls was like thunder.


    Blood sttered everywhere even as they froze in no time, 4 Trolls died on the spot while about 7 others were frozen from one ability of the Frost Wolf.


    As soon as Clown gave the order, the aggressive Grade C Frost Wolf kickstarted the war from the front fearlessly like a diator.


    The Grade C Frost Wolf barely moved when the Bald Eagleunched away.


    In the skies, this gigantic Eagle''s eyes keenly pinpointed its targets. The next moment, it folded itself like a ball before rapidly rotating in the skies.


    Woooo¡­!!!


    This action from the Grade C Bald Eagle instantly kickstarted a tsunami.


    Unlike the Frost Wolf that had frost affinity, the Bald Eagle had wind affinity. The wind that was induced from its action was so forceful that the tsunami that was generated tore injuries into the skin of the Trolls.


    Some unlucky Trolls who were too close to the tsunami or were caught up within it did not suffer such a gentle fate, they were ruthlessly torn apart.


    Their green blood and mutted green flesh flew randomly in the air.


    Even the nearby sea was affected as a storm picked up instantly.


    The water rose up like Ancient walls before flooding into the hideout of the Trolls, all the Trolls were forced out into the open to face the war.


    The Bald Eagle did not stop at that, unlike its previous predator eyes, having been worked on by Clown, they were now reced by mechanical eyes.


    As its mechanical eyes scanned and rapidly calcted the damage that it caused with its first attack, it released its second attack.


    As soon as it stopped rotating and stabilized itself in the air, from its mechanical eyes came an extremely concentrated redser beam.


    The Trolls stood no chance, they were obliterated on contact.


    The Grade C Frost Wolf was not to be outdone. Even as the Bald Eagle spread destruction from the skies, it''s mechanical eyes also rapidly calcted as the next moment, it started a crazy sprint into the midst of the Trolls.


    Despite the number of opponents that he was up against, the Frost Wolf did not flinch not even once as he fearlessly charged through their middle.


    Powerful icicles and ice spears were released by it as it ran through them, killing more Trolls but having realized that this was war already, the Trolls finally came back to their senses as their savagery instincts were triggered.


    "Roar¡­!!!" They roared back in defiance to the attackers.


    Boom!


    They exploded with speed as they shed against their attackers.


    In no time, as their extremely long and sharp nails started attacking, they managed to injure the Frost Wolf as it charged deeper into their midst.


    When the Frost Wolf went deep enough, it finally stopped running.


    It temporarily shelved its frost energy as the powerful psionic energy that remained dormant inside the mechanicalponents of its body roared to life.


    At this moment, it had 2 hearts, an organic heart and a psionic heart.


    The psionic energy pumped energy into its mechanical parts.


    The next moment, holes opened at different parts of this Frost Wolf''s body. From its forehead, it''s anus, and both sides of its abdomen emerged automatic machine guns as powered by the psionic energy, they unleashed their loads.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The impact of such close-range bombardment was disastrous to the Trolls.


    Green blood flowed like a fountain as the bullets tore through the Trolls.


    The Grade C Frost Wolf and the Grade C Bald Eagle were merely the vanguard forces, the other beasts who were sessful experiments of Clown that followed them here also shed aggressively against the Trolls.


    The powerful Trolls killed a lot of the mechanical beasts, but there was more than enough of them to go around as the war intensity kept on increasing.


    Clown had use for the Trolls, but to attract his ultimate prize, he let his bio-mechanic children to keep on harvesting their lives.


    The Grade C Frost Wolf and Grade C Bald Eagle were simply unstoppable. Despite the fact that the Trolls were all mostly Grade D, they were still powerful enough to inflict injuries but they could not kill the 2 bio-juggernauts from Clown.


    These 2 beasts were simply carriers of disaster in this battlefield.


    Also, as the only 2 Grade C sess that he had out of his 5 Grade C test subjects across his years of experimenting, he gave them additional boons.


    By modifying their chips, Clown ingrained in them the ability of teamwork. The Grade C bio-mechanic beasts cooperated in a scary disy of power.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Bybining their wind and ice affinity, they created powerful destructive storms that harvested Troll lives with impunity. As soon as their natural mana started depleting, they switched to psionic energy.


    Their teamwork was even greater when using psionic energy.


    While the Grade C Frost Wolf unleashed disaster through his automatic machine guns, the Grade C Bald Eagle spread disaster through hisser eyes.


    The Trolls were simply unable to contain these 2 beasts.


    The power in disy was beyond anything that these 2 beasts could disy when they were still normal organic Grade C beasts.


    This was Clown''s masterpiece, this was his bio-mechanic juggernauts!


    Despite the fact that more and more Trolls died, Clown remained patient. Until his ultimate prize came out, the ughter would continue.


    After over a hundred Trolls lost their lives, the most powerful Troll could no longer keep his silence and nonchnce. For over a millennium, the humans had mostly stayed neutral to them, why the sudden violence?


    The Grade C Troll was too simple-minded to understand the motive but seeing its weaker brothers dying, it instinctively felt a need to protect them.


    This protective instinct even override his self-sustaining instinct to protect his life that drove him into hiding from the humans after he evolved.


    Angered beyond reasonable measures, this Troll finally broke out of its hideout. A few meters away in the sea, the seabed started cracking as audible cracking sounds reverberated, the next moment, the seabed burst open.


    BOOM!


    From the burst hideout came out the strongest Grade C Troll.


    This Troll was gigantic, far more gigantic than the others. Its green skin had scales that hardened its defense far more than the others, its eyes were deep and white, its nails were sharper and longer, it also had hair on its head.


    It''s main difference from the others though was its catalogue of sharp teeth.


    Like expected, it didn''t evolve to get intelligence but to simply get more strength. With its extremely sharp rows of teeth that seemed capable of prating any defense, it improved its damage potential to a horrifying new level.


    "ROAR¡­!!!" The Grade C Troll announced his presence with a mighty roar.


    "Hahaha¡­!" Clown announced his presence with a maniacalugh as he finally removed the effects of his Distorted Reality Sage Ability.


    As soon as Clown appeared, the Grade C Troll felt the new powerful energy.


    It looked up where its eyes shed with those of this crazy Elementalist.


    "Nice to meet you too, hahaha¡­!"


    So many Grade C auras appearing here would definitely attract the attention of the officials but Clown didn''t worry about such trivial matters at this moment.


    This was because, by the end of this day, the officials would be so upied with the different news that they won''t have the luxury to pay attention to one.


    As Clownughed maniacally, the Grade C Troll made its move.


    Crack! Boom!


    One stomp of its feet was all it took for this Troll to leap into the air, its speed waspletely crazy as it moved through the air like a space rocket.


    Clown may beughing but his instincts as a veteran were not forged.


    His eyes never left his opponent.


    As soon as the Troll moved, he dodged.


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Sage Teleportation!"


    Bzzz!


    Wind energy and fire energy briefly converged, then Clown disappeared.


    Boom!


    The Grade C Troll whooshed through his previous location like a specter, still in mid-air, Clown brought out his Elementalist staff as a crazy grin lit up his face.

 Chapter 218 Clown Vs The Grade C Ancient Troll!

    The Grade C Troll may have forfeited intelligence during its evolution, but this was not made on a whim, he followed his ancestral instincts that were ingrained in him and it was not entirely a foolish choice.


    Only Absolute Speed was unbeatable in the universe.


    Wisdom without any bit of power to back it up was vain to Trolls.


    By forfeiting wisdom, this Grade C Troll built the ultimate physical vessel for himself that could endure the vigor of any battle without breaking down.


    Despite the ridiculous speed at which it moved at, after missing its opponent, the Grade C Troll turned mid-air as it did something impossible the next moment.


    After re-orienting itself, this Grade C Troll broke thews of physics!


    Ignoring the inertia that carried him higher into the skies, his primordial energy exploded as still mid-air, this gigantic Troll charged towards Clown again.


    Clown did not dodge this time, his eyes narrowed in seriousness.


    He already recognized that this was a worthy opponent.


    As soon as the Grade C Troll came out, he ordered his bio-mechanic beasts to stop killing the Trolls and to rather fight back. He didn''t ask for help from them either, he wanted to test his new strength against this powerful opponent.


    Boom!


    The Grade C Troll broke the sound barrier as he descended like a meteor.


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Ancient Wall of Doom!"


    Loud sounds reverberated the next moment as Clown roused his powerful Elementalist energy. The collision of wind energy and fire energy reverberated like thunder, the next moment, theybined to form a gigantic wall of fire and wind.


    Despite seeing the sturdy wall before him, the Grade C Troll did not slow down. This Troll went ahead to collide against the wall.


    Crack!


    BOOM!


    A cracking sound reverberated first as the Troll was briefly stopped, then the sound that followed was like exploding dominoes.


    The Grade C Troll could only be slowed down, it could not be stopped!


    The Troll continued towards Clown with renewed vigor and killing intent, its lethal nails glinted under the re of the sun as they hungered for human blood.


    Clown dared not use only one of his affinities, he continued with Sage Abilities as hebined both of his affinities to the best of his ability.


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Wildfire Combustion!"


    "Wind Elemental Ability: Wind Armor!"


    Clown went for mutual destruction.


    The Troll finally collided against him.


    BOOM!


    The sound was as powerful as the others as the nails of this Troll effortlessly punctured the wind armor that appeared to protect Clown before digging into his shoulders, red blood flowed as it sprinkled through the air.


    The Troll did not deal this damage without any retribution though.


    The Wildfire Combustion was Clown''s current most powerful attack ability.


    Instantly after collision and the nail injury, Clown groaned in pain but his ability still activated, powerful fire energy erupted in an explosion.


    Wind aidsbustion, the wind fanned the mes of this wildly raging fire that exploded, turning it into pure wildfire which was an agent of chaos and destruction, the disaster that followed was cmitous.


    The Grade C Troll could not withstand the sheer force of destruction, the wildfire prated the incredible defense of this beast, tearing its green skin apart.


    The heat incinerated its cells at a rapid pace as despite this Troll''s ridiculous recovery ability, it was unable to recover instantly.


    The momentum of the explosionunched it far away.


    Green blood sprinkled everywhere in the air as the Troll wasunched away.


    As for Clown, he was also affected by his reckless action but much lesser. As he had affinity for both elements, he had great resistance towards them which reduced the damage, and his runes did the rest.


    The Giant runes that he imnted in his body glowed magical colors as they fiercely resisted the destructive force, Clown came out rtively unscathed.


    Both Grade C powerhouses were not the only ones who suffered the effects of this ability, the surrounding also did. The force spread into the surroundings with venom, killing and smashing everything close by to meat paste.


    A lot of the weaker Trolls suffered.


    Not just them, the Great Sea also suffered. Faced against the gigantic force that followed, like in the River Jordan, the Great Sea parted ways to a force that was much more powerful than it.


    The ground and artificially-created rocks did not go unscathed either, the ground caved in from the force even as the rocks shattered like cheap biscuits.


    The impact of this collision waspletely out of the charts.


    The Grade C Troll still flew far away like aunched cannonball.


    Not for long though, the Grade C Troll was inevitable.


    BOOM!<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Again, it beat thews of physics, ignoring the force of inertia that pushed it backwards as still in mid-air, itunched itself after Clown again.


    This time though, it came back while heavily injured from the attack, Clown was ready for it this time as his eyes narrowed even further in concentration.


    With his Elementalist staff tightly in his grasp, words smoothly flowed out of his mouth as his energy was effortlessly channeled.


    "Clown Specialty: Fiery Spear!"


    "Clown Specialty: Atomic Explosion!"


    "Clown Specialty: Hell''s Destruction!"


    "Clown Specialty: Wind Dissection!"


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Attaco Di Veleno!"


    This time, Clown went all out as the Grade C Troll whooshed through the air back towards him with speed. The fire and wind elemental attacks diffused the air like bombs, they collided against the Troll with venom but they could not stop it.


    The Troll''s momentum was unstoppable as it charged towards Clown.


    On getting close enough, before it could attack with its nails again, Clown''s new Sage Elementalist Ability took effect. The Attaco Di Veleno took effect as poisonous dartspletely made out of Elementalist energy appeared in the air.


    This time, hebined his wind and fire energy to form poison.


    Whoosh!


    The dartsunched towards the Troll, impaling itpletely.


    Despite all the green blood that flowed, despite the hammering, the Grade C Troll was relentless as its nails went for the attack nheless.


    They could achieve nothing though as Clown left nothing unchecked, he finally unveiled the mechanical part of his body as his left hand that was now mechanical briefly hummed before a shield generator activated.


    The blue glowing shield arrived right on time to stop the lethal nail.


    Then from the left side of Clown''s body, tiny holes opened up through which lethal gun muzzles emerged from. They unleashed their loads at point nk range.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The attack barrage waspletely ridiculous this time around.


    The Grade C Troll suffered even as it desperately tried to counterattack. It did not achieve much though, with the shield generator, and Clown''s own magical Giant runes, even if the shield was bypassed, his runes did the rest.


    This way, he was finally able to overpower the Grade C Troll.


    Clown had no intentions of killing the Troll though.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The battle continued for another 30 minutes in the air as the Grade C Troll remained relentless. It was after these 30 minutes that it finally showed weakness.


    Clown''s eyes gleamed on noticing it as he took advantage of it.


    "Mechanic Ability: Chain Restraints!"


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Fiery Wind Cage!"


    The next moment, extremely sturdy metal chains erupted from Legs''s mechanic left abdomen as they held the Troll in ce. Wind and fire converged to form a cage that further trapped the Grade C Troll in ce.


    "Roar¡­!!!" It reacted violently as it tried to break free.


    Despite its energy, it was unable to break free, it was already weak.


    Clown channeled his psionic energy again as a special chip appeared the next moment, he grabbed a surgery knife and the special chip. Like the veteran expert that he was, as delicately as possible, he cut the Troll''s head opened.


    The Troll roared loudly in pain but despite its struggles, Clown''s genius shone as his precision with the surgery knife waspletely impable.


    He cut just the right spot in the Troll''s head to prevent it from dying.


    The next moment, he dropped the chip which smoothly slotted in. With an advanced machine, he sew the cut on the Troll''s head back.


    "Roar¡­!!!"


    The Troll roared angrily as it could already feel the foreign presence in its body, it was toote though, Clown gave his first orders.


    "Quiet!"


    "Stay put!"


    Instantly, the Grade C Troll''s eyes turned blue then it became docile.


    It finally fell from the sky and like ordered, it stayed put.


    Respect and awe for the Almighty Clown spread through all the Red Masters and psychopaths who were present to witness this act of divinity.

 Chapter 219 The Revolution Begins!

    The Grade C Troll was subdued.


    [Establishing control over new host¡­]


    [New host is powerful¡­, please wait¡­]


    [Control over new host has been established!]


    Despite how powerful the Grade C Troll was, intelligence and soul power was still not a strong point of the Trolls which now made it vulnerable before Clown.


    With a wide grin on his face, Clown looked at his left mechanical hands where the screen currently showed him messages. As soon as thest message was sent, his grin widened as he turned back to look at the Grade C Troll.


    Trolls were monsters with incredible vitality.


    Even at this moment, despite the terrible injuries that Clown inflicted on this powerful monster, it was already recovering from them as its cells worked overtime, the green flesh covering its abdomen were regrown in no time.


    Noticing Clown''s stare, the chip now on its brain stimted it, its now blue eyes flickered slightly as he obeyed the chip order unconditionally.


    The Grade C Troll fell down on its knees the next moment. "Master".


    This moment sent a chill down the spines of all the spectators.


    Both the Trolls and psychopaths of the Clown Society alive, the Trolls never expected their powerful leader to kneel before another entity, neither did the humans expect such a powerful existence to kneel before the Almighty Clown.


    Having witnessed the amount of destruction that this specific Troll was capable of inducing, and seeing its current state, the psychopaths felt their belief in the order of chaos bing firmer than ever before.


    The Trolls remained stunned in inactivity. The fall of their leader dealt a blow to them; the Trolls no longer felt a zeal to fight after what happened.


    Clown was not having it though, they were the perfect carriers of chaos.


    He looked fixatedly at the Troll. "Tell them to kneel!"


    "Kneel!" The Troll could actually speak themon tongue.


    Instantly after he ordered, his authority due to his higher grade and level was exerted on every single one of the other Trolls. They did not disobey, they could not disobey, one after the other, all the Trolls knelt down before Clown.


    As soon as they all knelt down, fire sprouted from beneath Clown''s legs as he slowly levitated into the atmosphere.


    It was at this moment that boss music usually started ying in movies.


    With a face filled with zeal and conviction, Clown addressed the few that stood before him. "After years of preparation, we finally got here".


    "After months since showing ourselves to the outside world to let our existence known to the world, we finally got here".


    "We now have everything that we need to herald the order of chaos".


    "The Trolls shall be our first chaos army".


    Clown slowly raised both his arms. "Let the revolution begin".


    "Yeah!!!" The Red Masters and psychopaths roared excitedly at this.


    "Let the order of chaos return".


    "We say no to peace, we wee only violence".


    ? "Yeah!!!"


    As the psychopaths yelled excitedly with energy, Clown turned to look at the Grade C Troll. "What is your name?"


    "Breaker".


    "Breaker huh?" Clown grinned. "You shall help me break this era of order".<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "Take your army, go into the and cause chaos".


    "Kill, destroy, and plunder".


    "Cause as much chaos as possible".


    The Grade C Troll no longer replied him as he turned and looked at the rock that was already shattered due to the shockwaves of their intense battle.


    The next moment, he stood up on his knees then he slowly raised his right fist which he clenched. His eyes narrowed into slits.


    "Roar!" He roared then he exploded forward with speed.


    "ROAR!!!"


    All the Trolls roared after their leader as they charged after him.


    The sounds of their massive legs as they rapidly sprinted away reverberated through the ground, causing vibrations like an earthquake was imminent.


    It was evident that only chaos and destruction was on their minds.


    As they left, Clown watched with a wide grin constantly on his face. As soon as they disappeared into the distance and he could only see the dust that they left behind, Clown looked at the time.


    9:00am.


    ''There''s still time, I wonder how well they are faring''.


    The next moment, Clown let the psychopaths feed everyone of his Bio-Mechanic beasts with mana crystals that helped a lot in their recovery.


    The Psionic energy in their mechanical hearts recovered naturally.


    As the Bio-Mechanic beasts started recovering, they were stuffed into their cages again as they began being transported again.


    On top one of the chariots, Clown watched. "Today is a day that will forever be remembered in the history of our".


    ¡­


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Trolls cared about no one, all they cared about was revenge and destruction which they gave the unlucky humans in more than enough doses.


    Under the leadership of the Grade C Troll, the Trolls ran riot across the nearest shelters. Their momentum seemedpletely unstoppable.


    The cities in the nearest shelters all fell to the rampage of the Trolls.


    The speed and power of the Grade C Troll waspletely unstoppable. He moved like lightning and struck like thunder, his long and extremely sharp nails tore entire buildings asunder, humans were nothing more than soft butter to him.


    An army of hundreds of Trolls being unleashed was no easy matter.


    Chaos spread through all the nearby shelters in the Eastern Continent.


    The sounds of wailing parents looking for their lost kids reverberated, the sounds of lost children crying for their parents also reverberated, mixed in between the cacophony of screams of the injured and dying.


    It took a few minutes for organized resistance forces toe to the rescue.


    Since the headquarters of the Summoner Academy was here in the East, this was more or less their jurisdiction. They mobilized their warriors in droves to resist the Trolls but all they could achieve was slowing the Trolls down.


    Led by their Grade C leader, the Trolls were a force to be feared.


    While this happened in the Eastern Continent, more undercurrents surged in the other continents as the Clown Society''s revolution started with force.

 Chapter 220 Sabotage In The Might Dojo

    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    After more than 2 months since hest visited here, Legs visited the Steep Hills again where Ak ruled as the overlord Alpha Wolf.


    Unlike more than 6 months ago when Conan was still the Alpha Wolf, Ak already effected a lot of changes in the beast ne. Under his leadership, the Steep Hills entered a new era of prosperity.


    Of course, there was still cannibalism since they were carnivorous wild animals but unlike Conan, he did not rule like a tyrant.


    Ak''sws and leadership kept the Steep Hills stable.


    At least, for the Wolves, they weed a new era of prosperity


    The more Ak remained the overlord, the more Legs recognized how much of a talent this wolf had for leadership. He may not be the brightest or strongest of the bunch, but he was definitely the best leader.


    Ak was already expanding his pack even as time went on.


    On returning to this territory with de, the wolves at the border saw them and instantly recognized them. Legs swaggered his way into this wolf fortress.


    When he got to Ak''s rock, he saw that the Wind Wolf was already waiting for him. His elite guard Wolves allowed him in to see their Alpha.


    Legs was all smiles as he hugged the wolf by the head and caressed its fur.


    "How is Nymeria?"


    Ak grinned. "She is close to giving birth already".


    And yes, Nymeria was pregnant.


    This was one of the more momentous feats that Ak achieved in the past 6 months, leaving his master blushing in shame.


    Ak did not beat around the bush. "Apart from me, who else do you need?"


    Compared to 6 months ago, Ak now had an entirely new aura. It was not arrogance, but the effects of being a leader for so long already honed his confidence. He no longer felt as inadequate, he now recognized his strengths.


    Legs appreciated this since it meant a lot to any living being with a personality, when you had confidence in yourself, you could go farther in life in any endeavor that you decide to give your time to excel in.


    Ak knew that Legs personallying here was for a special mission.


    Legs smiled as he rubbed Ak''s fur. "I need another Wind Wolf".


    "Preferably the fastest after you, I''m on a special mission".


    Ak obeyed the orders without voicing anyints, in a minute, another Wind Wolf with ck fur arrived before de.


    Ak introduced the wolf. "This is Daug".


    de having gotten used to beasts already easily gained the favor of the wolf as he rubbed its fur, they got ready to leave.


    Before leaving, Ak delegated duties.


    "Rogue 1, in my absence, you are the Alpha".


    "Take care of Nymeria".


    "Aye!"


    Legs did the thing and they made their way out of the beast ne, for this mission, Legs was not taking Predator along now for faster efficiency.


    Also, he was taking on his Sexy Chocte identity for this mission.


    As soon as they returned to Darvis, Legs made use of his talents.


    -----


    Christensen Exclusive Talent has been triggered: Detective


    ¡­


    You have activated Christensen Exclusive Special Ability: Scent Tracking


    You have activated Christensen Exclusive Special Ability: Auditory Tracking


    ----


    With these abilities, Ak and Daug sprinted at full speed.


    After 30 minutes, they caught up to their target. As Wind Wolves, both wolves were able to reduce the sound of their steps so as not to startle the target.<novelnext></novelnext>


    On a normal Horse, Richard rode to the West to the headquarters of the Pugilist Academy. On observing him from afar, Legs could not read much from him but he could feel his burning desire like he was on a holy mission.


    ''What are you up to?'' His eyes narrowed.


    ¡­


    2 hourster¡­


    The massive gates were opened with a ng as soon as Richard arrived, soldiers randomly returning when they were on leave was not a strange thing.


    The only strange thing was that as soon as Richard returned, hidden cells and spies in the headquarters of the Pugilist Academy were activated.


    As soon as Richard entered the massive territory of the Pugilist Academy, a Raven coincidentally flew into the skies over the academy at the same time.


    The Pugilist Academy mostly built dojos to train their apprentices.


    The headquarters was called the Might Dojo, it was built like a pagoda.


    "Wait for me¡­" Legs instructed before going in.


    -----


    You have made use of a Special Treasure: Cloak of Nothingness


    ----


    Legs smoothly infiltrated and followed Richard.


    Richard blended into the army of Pugilists as he went into his room. He randomly spent 10 minutes inside doing nothing, and when the time finally came for a change of shift of the janitors, he moved.


    ''The patrol soldiers are already taken care of''.


    Richard was not alone, he was being guided.


    The Janitors were surprised to see the soldier moving with them.


    Richard smiled. "Don''t you guys get tired having to clean every day?"


    "Man, I feel it must be boring¡­"


    "Probably not as boring as you think". One of the janitors who was a middle-aged man smiled as he led the way up to the Orc tower.


    On getting here, Richard smiled and bid the janitors farewell. None of them suspected anything, they went ahead with their jobs.


    As the janitors entered the Orc tower one after the other, Richard evaded the patrol soldiers and secretly followed them. They all entered the tower, when it came to thest one, Richard finally moved.


    With a silent attack to the neck, this female was knocked unconscious.


    Richard was not as secretive this time, he merely looked around to confirm that no one saw him before dumping her at the corner of the door and covering her with brown sheets that he brought out of his storage ring.


    Then he pressed a button on his hand, his clothes changed the next moment to that of the janitor. He smoothened his hair to look like a female, then he swaggered his way into the tower without causing any rms.


    Such smooth infiltration was not possible for just one soldier.


    Apart from him, there were more psychopath spies in the Pugilist Academy. One kept the patrols froming here, while others erased all traces that he left behind to make sure that no soldier caught up on his actions.


    These actions unknowingly also helped Legs to sneak in sessfully, and through his detective talent, it also enabled him sniff out the hidden spies.


    On entering inside the tower, Richard was finally free out of the public eye. He killed every single janitor in the tower and let their blood flow into the ultic drawing that he already drew on the ground.


    He also cut his wrist as he let his blood flow in.


    He closed his eyes and muttered in Ancient Darvis.


    "Descent ritual¡­"


    Bzzz!


    As soon as the air shifted, ck Master Einstein descended.


    Instantly after he descended, in a secret training chamber built underneath the Might Dojo, a pair of eyes that were closed in meditation for weeks snapped open as despite him masking his aura, this powerful superhuman detected it.


    This powerful superhuman turned and looked, his eyes prated all the obstacles. On feeling the gaze, ck Master Einstein felt a shudder run through him but he still went through with his actions.


    He grabbed Richard and through the space node, both of them went into the ne where the Orcs lived.


    Jon Stones was amused. "A sabotage, in my own backyard?"


    "Damn, they really look down on me now".

 Chapter 221 Unleashing The Orcs; An Epic Showdown!

    About an hour earlier¡­


    Deep beneath the Might Dojo where his personal meditation chambers was built, Jon Stones meditated as he inhaled and exhaled the essence of heaven and earth, strengthening his body and bones with every breath.


    This was a special cultivation technique that he used not just to increase his Pugilist energy, but to increase the toughness of his body and bones.


    As this powerful Pugilist cultivated, the air around him visibly distorted.


    Jon Stones already grew so powerful that simple acts like this from him were able to affect reality, the title of the strongest Pugilist was no joke.


    As he cultivated, his senses detected a special Raven fly in.


    This special Raven was able to bypass the numerous defense systems and warriors of the Might Dojo, also turning itself into an ethereal state to bypass all the obstacles and enter his personal meditation chambers.


    Jon Stones recognized this Raven, he smirked as it dropped a letter before flying away before he could grab his hands on it.


    The Raven dared not stay, it escaped.


    He chuckled. "Still as fearful as ever¡­"


    He grabbed the letter and opened it.


    >Newton''s brat has finally made his move<


    >He seems to really believe in his notion of order in chaos. He and his special creations struck the Eastern Continent first, at the Troll defense base, he already took the Trolls under his control and the Grade C Troll leads them<


    >They are already going on a rampage in the Eastern Continent<


    >I bet Dayne must be biting his head out already in frustration for why his territory was attacked first, but that is not the main thing, the main thing is that you are next<


    >We know their final destination but you are next, I just wanted to warn you<


    >Einstein ising your way, if you don''t want to embarrass yourself, be prepared because I believe that they''ve already roped Zeke in<


    >He''s a brat but I must admit Newton''s brat is a genius at sweet-talking, I still can''t believe that Zeke agreed to join this band of crazies<


    >Sender: Core Protector Shanks<


    Jon Stones smirked after reading the letter. "Embarrass myself? The brat that can push me to that extent is not yet born".


    He closed his eyes and continued his meditation.


    Despite closing his eyes, he could feel his blood stirring a bit because for Core Protector Shanks to warn him so explicitly, it meant the brats were prepared and confident that they could embarrass or even kill him.


    He licked his lips. "I hope the brats can make my blood boil again".


    An hourter, when Richard returned, this Pugilist was able to feel his ambition. Apart from the few Grade C superhumans that had once fought against him, few beings knew of how strong he really was.


    Having fully mastered his body to the tiniest anatomical details, hepletely understood the human body. Through Richard''s heartbeat, blood flow, and breathing, he already knew that this warrior was a spy.


    Through these vital signs, he already detected all the spies.


    When ck Master Einstein finally came to his territory, he looked in amusement. He was not disappointed, the Elementalist was reasonably strong.


    ''But to kill me, even you and Zeke are not enough''.


    He didn''t mind though; all his mind was on finally seeking another good battle to stretch his bones that were already going stiff from constant meditation.


    Crack!


    On standing up, his bones and joints made snapping and crackling sounds.


    He walked to a corner of his meditation chamber where his armor was kept, he caressed its metallic body. "It''s been a long time Roach¡­"


    "You wanna ride alongside me one more time?"


    Shing!


    The golden armor briefly resonated and rang as it vibrated.


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    Having given him a heads-up ahead of time, ck Master Einstein and Richard arrived to the half-destroyed ne to meet an eager Orc army.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Red lightning snaked through the red sky filled with fractures which was quickly followed by a massive thunder strike as both parties stared at each other.


    ck Master Einstein''s eyes met the determined eyes of the Orc Warlord.


    Like his warriors, Orc Warlord Zeke was ready for war. His green skin glinted under the red glow of this ne''s skies, his prominent muscles bulged from beneath his red armor with spikes, showcasing his massive dormant power.


    At this moment, his hair was braided and his sharp teeth were out in the open. Unlike the diplomatic version of himself that met Clown months ago, this version of Orc Warlord Zeke was the berserk and wild version.


    On his 2 hands were his weapons, his double Battle Axes.


    His brown eyes red with the determination of a warrior ready to kill.


    ck Master Einstein looked behind him at the other Orcs. At this moment, behind the Orc Warlord was a battalion of Orcs numbering about 500 Orcs.


    Due to Zeke''s vigorous masculinity, despite being left with only 20 wives after the cataclysm, he was able to vigorously reproduce and keep his race alive.


    Orc Warlord Zeke red at this Grade C human. "We may only number a few hundred, but don''t doubt our battle strength and cohesiveness".


    "I dare say that as a unit, no human force of the same numbers can match our strength, we can take back the Orc Tower".


    ck Master Einstein nodded. "I hope so".


    "He saw me". He casually added.


    "It would have been weird if he didn''t discover you". Zeke replied.


    The next moment, ck Master Einstein led the way out as he stepped through the space node again. Richard followed before quickly being followed by the hundreds of Orcs that followed their Warlord.


    With this, the Orcs were unleashed.


    Bzzz!


    As soon as they appeared, they saw a human casually waiting for them, Jon Stones turned to look at them with a poker look on his face.


    "You''re finally back".


    "Defense formation!" ck Master Einstein roared as he levitated into the skies, he dared not underestimate this old man.


    The familiar bald head, the familiar stone-cold face, though he had only heard about him through stories, Einstein dared not underestimate him.


    Jon Stones'' legend was enough to form a full story book.


    He dared not waste time either as the old man watched his actions with obvious amusement being evident on his face.


    ck Master Einstein brought out a ck object and pointed it at the skies, faraway, another powerhouse detected the signal as he responded to it.


    Fire instantly sprouted in the air, forming a teleportation portal.


    Bzzz!


    The powerful aura arrived even before the entity did.


    Feeling the Grade C aura and energy check sweeping through him, Jon Stones'' eyes narrowed in surprise. ''No longer Shanks warned me''.


    When themotion finally died down, he squinted his eyes to look at the neer and deduce his identity. All he saw was a deformed human.


    With one part of his body metallic, the other part remained flesh and bone while his flesh was covered with mysterious runes that Jon Stones only recalled to have seen in¡­, Giants!


    His eyes narrowed even more as he stared at the fleshy part of the face.


    He was surprised the next moment. "Newton''s brat?"


    "¡­"


    Clown felt embarrassment engulf him but he dared not let down his guard.


    "Get ready for battle". His Elementalist staff hummed in tandem with his zeal to fight this old legend and emerge victorious.

 Chapter 222 [Bonus ]Battle Against Jon Stones! [1]

    "Get ready for battle!"


    The tension in the air already turned suffocating.


    Despite all these, a calm expression still remained on Jon Stones'' face, he turned his attention to the hundreds of Orcs that were behind them.


    "Do you really think it is a nice idea to let them stay here?"


    "I mean, I''ve killed so many people that I don''t oppose the idea of killing a few hundred more but this way, their death would be too stupid".


    "And by the way, let this battle stay between us".


    "I know exactly how ambitious you are". His eyes looked straight at Clown. "But I am not someone that can be trampled on so easily".


    "Leave my Pugilists alone".


    "If even one of themes to harm because of how unbridled you are, I can guarantee you that you won''t be leaving here with your head intact".


    Clown gritted his teeth but he still kept his silence, he did not let the words of this old monsterpletely get to him as he remainedpletely alert.


    "I already know about your ns, I''m letting it go through for a reason".


    "There is one thing that we agree on, and that is that King Tom is no longer fit to rule our, he should be reced".


    "You can do anything that your youthpels you to do to fulfill this, but don''t let it get to your head, once your idea of order in chaos bes too crazy, be rest assured that I will be the one to kill you myself".


    Clown took deep breaths to calm himself.


    Originally, allowing your opponent to talk so much was not his style but Jon Stones was too strong of an opponent for him to act unbridled before.


    He decided for this battle to be 3 on 1 for a reason, because he believed that this was already more than enough to bring down this old monster.


    What he didn''t expect was Jon Stones'' confident reaction.


    Part of his brain wanted to believe that this was merely words of bravado from the old man to hide his fear but having fought against him once, he warned that part of his brain to stop believing that belief.


    The silence that followed after Jon Stones finished talking was chilling and tense, Orc Warlord Zeke used this time to warn his warriors to move away.


    As the Orcs slowly reached safe distance, one of them moved.


    "Stones'' Specialty: Sonic Speed!"


    "Stones'' Specialty: 3-Step Physical Teleportation!"


    BOOM!


    In less than a millisecond, Jon Stones moved and in the same less than a millisecond, he broke the sound barrier as he arrived before Clown who still levitated in the skies.


    His speed was so fast that this Elementalist was still in the process of thinking.


    Clown''s eyes were still focused on the previous location of his opponent, watching alertly while his opponent already arrived beside him.


    This was a crazy disy of speed.


    "Special Pugilist Ability: One-inch Punch!"


    Bam!


    Clown flew away like a meteor.


    ck Master Einstein and Orc Warlord Zeke were stunned, they saw it, their body wanted to move but it felt like Jon Stones was existing in a time-space that was considerably faster than theirs.


    Only their eyeballs could move when Stone''s 3-Step Physical teleportation ability took effect.


    Bzzz!


    It was like space shifted but it was rather Stone''s speed that shifted space.


    He was so fast at this moment that it was akin to teleportation, he arrived before ck Master Einstein and elbowed him as this Elementalist flew away.


    Not even a millisecond after Einstein flew away, he was already before Orc Warlord Zeke. This Orc could only widen his eyes as Jon Stones raised his right leg before swinging it towards this warrior''s abdomen.


    Bam!


    Some bones cracked and Orc Warlord Zeke disappeared from the sheer force that apanied the impact of the kick.


    With this incredible disy of speed and power, Jon Stones was able to send all 3 dangerous opponents away from his territory and his subordinates.


    If they fought here, it was inevitable that his Pugilists and his territory would be affected. But having kicked them out, they could now fight to their heart''s content, Jon Stones'' blood pressure reduced after this as his talent deactivated.


    After centuries of meditation, Jon Stones unlocked the ultimate talent which he called Ultra Instinct. In this state, time-space itself became subject to his maniption and it was how he was able to effortlessly toy with his opponents.


    He could not sustain that state for long though, the talent''s effects already disappeared again after that incredible show of power and speed.<novelnext></novelnext>


    It would take a week before he could make use of its effects again.


    Jon Stones did not mind though, though his opponents were 3 powerful Grade C powerhouses, he still believed in his ability to cope with them.


    His eyes narrowed as he pictured the hill where all 3 of his opponentsnded after he attacked them, the next moment, he took a step.


    He activated his specialty ability again.


    "Stone''s Specialty: Sonic Speed!"


    Whoosh!


    Like the wind itself, Jon Stones elerated towards the hill.


    "Cough¡­!" Clown coughed blood as he recovered from the attack.


    His eyes widened in horror as he looked back at where they came from. "What ability was that? How can he be so fast?"


    ck Master Einstein fought the annoying feeling that felt like vomiting back as with narrowed eyes, he stared back.


    "I don''t think he can sustain that state for long".


    "Such speed is not possible for Grade C Superhumans, I think he did that through either a pill or a new talent that he acquired".


    "What I believe though is that he can''t sustain it for long¡­"


    "Iing!" Orc Warlord Zeke warned as he grabbed his Axes tighter.


    Intimidated already by just the first sh, Clown did not hold back as he instantly went for his strongest ability and strongest defensive ability.


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Ancient Wall of Doom!"


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Attaco Di Veleno!"


    Clown rose into the skies as his Elementalist energy raged fiercely, ck Master Einstein did not dareg behind as he also roused his Elementalist energy.


    "Sage Style: Ancient Wall of ss!"


    "Sage Style: Whirlwind of Fire and Sand!"


    "Sage Style: Fiery Sand Doppelganger!"


    None of these 2 ck Masters dared to use ordinary Elementalist abilities, they only had confidence in their Sage abilities and they made use of the strongest.


    As for Orc Warlord Zeke, this Orc was not an Elementalist, he had few defensive abilities, what he was instead good at was frontal attacks.


    "Ultimate Ability: Twin Axe of the Demonic Asura!"


    "Roar!"


    Orc Warlord Zeke roared as he bravely struck with all his might.


    When running at such impossible speeds after activating his Sonic Speed specialty ability, not even Jon Stones could fully control himself. Despite this, he was calm as his eyes observed and calcted his opponent''s move.


    "Special Pugilist Ability: Vacuum Push!"


    "Special Pugilist Ability: Mad Dash!"


    "Stones'' Specialty: Fist of Obliteration!"


    BOOM!


    As soon as Jon Stones'' Pugilist energy was roused, a mighty force pushed towards the 2 Elemental defensive structures that were formed by Clown and Einstein, the Vacuum Push strained the 2 defenses to the limits.


    And with the mad dash, Jon Stones mmed into both shields.


    Like a fragile picture, both defensive abilities shattered into numerous lights.


    He did not end there, his right fist that was covered with an aggressive obliteration energy punched through as it repelled Zeke''s twin Axe back.


    A single Pugilist repelled all 3 of them but it was not full proof, Clown was the one who got the first positive results, his poisonous darts touched the Pugilist.


    Jon Stones jerked as the poison invaded his body.


    Clown''s eyes gleamed sharply. "Attack!"

 Chapter 223 [Bonus ]Battle Against Jon Stones! [2]

    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Distorted Reality!"


    "Clown Specialty: Fiery Spear!"


    Instantly after Jon Stones jerked after being affected by the poisonous darts, Clown regained his motivation after confirming that the Pugilist was not invincible.


    He made use of another Sage Elementalist ability as instantly, the reality around him became distorted. Before Jon Stones'' perception, Clown disappeared whereas this powerful Elementalist already went behind him.


    Clown concentrated his fire energy as much as possible to create his Fiery Spear as at point-nk range, he mmed it against Jon Stones.


    Clown was a genius, not just in science but he was also abat genius.


    This was the only reason why a legend like Jon Stones knew of him before.


    Even as Jon Stonespletely dominated the 3 of them for the first few seconds, his brain never stopped calcting and working at overdrive.


    It was when his poisonous darts finally revealed a weakness in their opponent that he upped his game.


    With the Distorted Reality, hepletely fooled Jon Stones but it was his obsession with dealing as much damage as possible in one attack that exposed him.


    Clown already observed that getting opportunities tond sessful attacks on Jon Stones would be hard and was why he did everything to deal as much damage in this one attack, in the end, this was his mistake.


    Jon Stones was a Pugilist at the very pinnacle of Darvis, this old monster already mastered his body to the extent where he hadplete control over it, he could feel the tiniest of sensations.


    Though Clown tried to mask it, the powerful Fiery Spear that he conjured still emitted minute amounts of heat. It was this heat that alerted Jon Stones.


    Jon Stones felt his danger instincts ring but he was still calm.


    ''Roach, cooperate with me''.


    "Stone-Roach Defense Combo: Ultimate Defense!"


    Shing!


    Jon Stones'' powerful old armor resonated with him again, then the next moment the armorbined power with his Pugilist energy as an extremely thick defensive shield was erected all around his body.


    This shield arrived just in time for the highly concentrated Fiery Spear to hit.


    BOOM!


    Clown''s Fiery Spear hit with a lot of power apanying it.


    The shield flickered as it onlysted a second before shattering. The residual power from the Fiery Spear collided against the armor, the armor withstood much of the force but some still went through as Jon Stones groaned.


    This attack rattled him, he took some time to recover.


    This recovery time was all it took for his opponents to get the upper hand. Clown''s moment of genius opened the window of opportunity to them, now, Einstein, Clown, and Orc Warlord Zeke cornered him in their middle.


    "Axe Combination Attack: Green-White-Green!"


    Orc Warlord Zeke was more or less like a Pugilist also.


    As soon as he activated thisbination attack, he almost seemed to be a robot. His 2 Axes shed at Jon Stones from curved angles once, then they shed horizontally, before ending with another curved angle sh.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    With Pugilist energy covering his fists, Jon Stones struggled to block the attacks. Einstein and Clown were not idle as their Elementalist staffs moved constantly at the speed of machine guns, inducing lethal effects rapidly.


    "Special Elementalist Ability: Sands of Doom!"


    "Special Elementalist Ability: Fireball Hail!"


    With Jon Stones temporarily contained, ck Master Einstein finally got the luxury to widen his distance to enable himself spam AOE abilities.


    Unlike normal Elementalists, as a Grade C Sage Elementalists, he already had a masterful grasp over AOE attacks to the extent where he could attack the whole area while retaining control enough to not affect his allies.


    This was exactly what ck Master Einstein did now.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The sand moved with incredible velocity, turning into extremely tiny daggers as they all moved towards Jon Stones with the intent to injure and kill.


    A hail of fireballs rained from the sky toplement the rapidly moving sand as they collided against the ground,pletely terraforming this terrain.


    As for Clown, he kept his distance to Jon Stones to keep on harassing him.


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Attaco Di Veleno!"


    Having detected Jon Stones'' weakness to poison already, he tookplete advantage of it as they banked most of their hopes on it.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Jon Stones had to keep himself constantly performing at 110% just to cope with the incredible pace of this battle and its ridiculous intensity.


    Fighting against a veteran Grade C Orc Warlord and 2 genius Grade C Elementalists was no easy feat, he was definitely feeling the heat.


    ''No wonder Shanks said I should be worried, you bastard!''


    Despite his situation, he still had the time to poke curses at his old friend.


    Perhaps, it proved deadly after all as after constant harassment, Orc Warlord Zeke finally saw an opening as one of his Axes dug into Jon Stones'' chest.


    The sound of the impact reverberated like exploding dominoes.


    BOOM!


    "Ugh¡­!" Jon Stones groaned in pain.


    Even as blood flowed like a fountain from his chest, the force of the attack made his knees buckle and the ground to cave in as a hole opened on the ground where he was pushed in from the force of the Axe.


    Clown and Einstein were not about to waste this prime opportunity.


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Dragon of Sand and Fire!"


    ck Master Einstein''s long hair waved in the air from the force he exerted as he seemed to turn into a wizard, the ability activated powerfully.


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Wind Phoenix Cataclysm!"


    Originally, this was a new Sage ability trump card that Clown had been trying to create for months without sess. Now, due to the adrenaline from this battle, he was able to finish creating it on the spot and was also able to use it.


    From the skies, an apocalypse of wind and fire seemed to form.


    Noticing the danger, Orc Warlord Zeke dodged from the vicinity even as both Elementalists levitated into the skies again to dodge the impact sight.


    Jon Stones could not dodge, the abilities descended on what may perhaps be his tomb, wreaking havoc and destruction.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The gigantic tectonic tes of the crust were torn asunder.


    The impact spread far and wide, it was like it was the end of the world as every single location across the Western Continent felt the impact of this attack.


    It took over a minute for the aftereffects of the attack to die down.


    All 3 Grade C powerhouses spread their energy into the crater that was formed, using their energy check to scrutinize if there was a trace of life.


    "Ugh¡­, f*ck!" Jon Stones curse betrayed the fact that he was still alive.


    This powerful Pugilist dug his way out of the ground. At this moment, his eyes were bloody and red, his clothes were torn apart, his body was filled with severe injuries while his extremely strong bald head shockingly had a tear.


    Jon Stones touched the blood that was on his head.


    "You brats injured my head¡­" His tone showed genuine surprise. "I don''t remember thest century that this happened".


    "I''m impressed". He grinned.


    "You 3 deserve to see my final form".


    His eyes turned pitch-ck the next moment, their hearts skipped beats.


    "Forbidden Pugilist Ability: First Ultimate Form!"


    Jon Stones'' bald head grew balder all of a sudden as it shone like a torch under the sun, his clothespletely tore apart as his muscles grew, leaving only pants on his waist, thest transformation was that he grew a new pair of hands.


    Jon Stones now looked like a Pugilist who was on steroids who had been training for over a millennium just to showcase his physique to the world.


    It was the current level of his Pugilist energy that frightened his opponents the most, their eyes widened in dread and shock.


    "¡­"


    Jon Stones moved again and it was like he was stepping through heavens.


    BOOM!

 Chapter 224 Battle Against Jon Stones! [3]

    "Forbidden Pugilist Ability: First Ultimate Form!"


    Jon Stones was a legend of Darvis, but he was no Saint. This Pugilist was a warrior, he was a killer, and a damn good one at that.


    He rose through the blood of thousands of powerful opponents.


    During his prime years as he rose to the peak of power as a Pugilist, his brain was imaginative as he thought up different ways to increase his power.


    The more he faced powerful opponents, the more the necessity to get more ingenious and lethal killing ways surfaced in his mind.


    His aim was not just to be the strongest Pugilist in Darvis, neither was it to be the strongest superhuman in Darvis either, his real goal was to be the first superhuman to break the Grade B limit.


    Having learned of the world outside Darvis and their much more powerful supers, he yearned to meet these warriors to challenge himself more.


    He was so determined to get this goal in his younger days that he became unbridled in his search for power, that was when he created this ability.


    He saw it as a Forbidden Ability because of the requirements to use it.


    This Pugilist Ability worked by increasing his power and vitality by sucking away the power and vitality of all nearby living life, granting him so much power that he named it the Ultimate Form that he could achieve.


    The First Ultimate Form doubled his current power. At the Grade C realm, multiplication factors became much more important.


    His base power was already so ridiculous that he could fight his current 3 opponents singlehandedly, if doubled, hisbat strength would be ridiculous.


    The requirements of the First Ultimate Form were much lower. It worked by sucking away the power and vitality of only small living beings like nts.


    The 2nd Ultimate Form tripled his current power, but unlike the 1st Ultimate Form, the requirements increased to sucking even the vitality of small animals like ants and smaller rodents.


    As for the 3rd Ultimate Form which was the greatest peak strength that he could reach, it increased his current power by roughly 10 times.


    300 years ago, was the only time that Jon Stones was forced to use the 3rd Ultimate Form. As he became more powerful and unbridled, King Rnd, King Tom''s Grandfather deemed him as too arrogant and ordered his assassination.


    Core Protector Shanks was the leading warrior of the assassination attempt.


    Alongside 5 other Grade C powerhouses, both from the evil and official factions of Darvis, they ambushed and isted Jon Stones in a specially created ne where they fought him to the death.


    The oue was something that Shanks would never forget all his life.


    Core Protector Shanks and the Blood Pugilist were the only survivors.


    The requirements for the 3rd Ultimate Form were proportional to its power.


    Every single living being below the Grade C realm was affected, every Grade E and below superhuman within a kilometer region dies in an explosive manner to feed the power-hungry ability.


    As for Grade D superhumans, the weaker ones had a higher chance of also dying in an explosive manner. As for the more powerful ones, they could barely resist it, even without dying, their energy and power would still be sucked.


    After that battle, Core Protector Shanks and the Blood Pugilist recognized the most powerful superhuman in the history of Darvis.


    Now, Jon Stones was pushed into using the first form of this forbidden ability again. Instantly after the ability activated, all the nts within a region of a kilometer all withered as their energy and vitality was sucked.


    A powerful energy surged with Jon Stones at the center.


    The power that was felt outwardly was only a marginal demonstration of the power in disy, internally, Jon Stones experienced even more changes.


    From the cells, Jon Stones'' incredible experience came in y as he channeled the new energy surging within him to all the right ces. His cells rapidly regenerated as all his severe injuries started healing rapidly.


    In less than a second, he was back to 100% physically.


    His transformation wasplete in an instant, with his new pair of hands, and his current extremely muscr body, Jon Stones looked like a monster.


    His opponents were intimidated but they dared not hold back.


    "Axe Combination Attack: Green-White-Green!"


    Orc Warlord Zeke led the charge at the front this time.


    As soon as he moved, Jon Stones raised his now blood-shot eyes.


    Orc Warlord Zeke''s twin Axe struck down with power, but on the receiving end, Jon Stones grabbed both weapons with his uppermost pair of hands.


    BAM!


    The shockwave from this collision was crazy, the ground caved in even more from the impact but Jon Stones remained standing as he red at the Orc.


    With his 2 uppermost hands grabbing the Axe, his 2 lower arms moved.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Orc Warlord Zeke felt his heart skip a beat.


    "Stones Specialty: Quadripartite Fist Barrage!"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    "Ugh¡­!" Orc Warlord Zeke''s groans of pain reverberated.


    The Orc stood no chance, in just a second, his body waspletely torn to bloody pieces by the rampaging 4 fists of Jon Stones.


    ck Master Einstein and Clown were horrified.


    Jon Stones casually threw the carcass of his opponent to the side but Orc Warlord Zeke was not dead. As soon as his carcass was thrown, a blood energy erupted as all his tiny body parts converged together to form the whole again.


    Grade C powerhouses were existences at the very peak of Darvis, everyone of them was a boss character, it was only a given that they all had their own special life-preservation abilities and techniques.


    Orc Warlord Zeke coughed blood as he rapidly retreated.


    Seeing this, Jon Stones was amused but he did not stop, he grinned.


    "Sage Style: Whirlwind of Fire and Sand!"


    "Sage Style: Fiery Sand Doppelganger!"


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Ancient Wall of Doom!"


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Wind Phoenix Cataclysm!"


    Extremely powerful and aggressive Elementalist energy raged.


    Jon Stones only grinned though, he did not stop for once. As soon as he took a step, it was like he was stepping through heavens as he arrived beside ck Master Einstein in an instant.


    Hepletely bypassed the raging whirlwind of fire and sand.


    Jon Stones threw a punch at his opponent, this punch broke the sound barrier as molecules in the air vibrated to the movement of this force.


    BOOM!


    Having anticipated this, despite being horrified, ck Master Einstein was still able to react fast enough as a fiery sand doppelganger was left in his wake.


    He teleported higher into the air as he prepared to unleash AOE disaster.


    Einstein''s choice of action was good, it was Clown''s that was disastrous. His attack was powerful but with his new defense, Jon Stones simply bulldozed his way through it as if it was not even there.


    As for the Ancient Wall of Doom, it was as good as paper before Jon Stones.


    Jon Stones mmed through it as he charged towards his opponent.


    With one hand, he grabbed Clown by the head and with the remaining 3, he pummeled the life out of this Elementalist.


    Clown''s life choices saved his life this time, the magical runes and the shield generator erected by his psionic energy saved him from beingpletely mummified. He was still horrified by the current level of his opponent though.


    Orc Warlord Zeke no longer dared stay close to the rampaging Pugilist.


    He ordered his Orcs to escape even as he focused on defending, as for Clown and ck Master Einstein, they both focused on now kiting this powerful Pugilist.


    Every time that Jon Stones moved, the airspace cracked.


    BOOM!


    This battle was now one-sided, but it showed no signs of stopping soon.


    Far away in the distance, a pair of pitch-ck eyes watched as ambition started burning in the eyes of the owner, de clenched his fists.


    For a long time, his super way that pushed him to improve focused on revenge for his family. Now he got another anchor.


    "What a powerful Pugilist". He recognized greatness.


    "I''ll only be satisfied when I can defeat Jon Stones on a one on one!"

 Chapter 225 Chaos In The North!

    King Tom sat on his throne chair with a poker look on his face.


    "Cough¡­!" He coughed violently the next moment, but an attendant was close by as the young man diligently wiped the blood away from his mouth.


    King Tom twisted his lips in distaste. As a King, he was supposed to enjoy life, everything was supposed to follow his whims and be as he hoped, the whole was supposed to listen to him and serve him so why this?


    For the past year since he became King, he took advantage of his privileges and lived his most extravagant lifestyle. Now, he was suffering its consequences.


    The doctors said that his sickness was caused due to too much sugar intake.


    "How dare they not have a cure for my sickness?" He clenched his fists angrily. "They''re squandering the money of the kingdom".


    "They should not be paid!"


    "They should all be sacked!"


    "Their families should all be arrested and tortured!"


    "They should all be flogged in the public until they find the perfect cure!"


    At this moment, he was supposed to be in his room enjoying his life again on hisfy king-sized bed but he had toe here again due to the news.


    Apparently, after 6 months of being content with staying in the dark, the evil terrorists, the Clown Society were now out in the open intent to cause chaos.


    He sneered. "Just wait till my father''s mourning ends, I''ll deal with you all".


    ng!


    The next moment, the door to his throne room opened again as the Hand of the King, a middle-aged man rushed in. "Your Grace, more news¡­"


    "Tell me what is happening!"


    "Yes, your Grace".


    "The psychopaths struck first in the Eastern Continent where they released the Trolls¡­"


    "Trolls?" He interrupted. "What Trolls? What are Trolls?"


    "Umm¡­" The Hand of the King scratched his head.


    Seeing this action, King Tom was even more infuriated. "You''ve been hiding important information from me!"


    "How dare you hide any information from me?!"


    Bremer was used to the King''s tantrums, he waited for a few minutes for King Tom to calm down before he continued. "In essence, the Eastern Continent was attacked first and has now been engulfed by chaos".


    "What is the leader of the Summoner Academy doing?"


    "Nothing".


    "Good, continue".


    "After the Eastern Continent, the psychopaths appeared in the Western Continent next, they released the Orcs".


    "Orcs¡­?!"


    Bremer allowed him to calm down. "Now, reports say that 2 of the leaders of the terrorist group and another Grade C enemy are now embroiled in battle with the leader of the Pugilist Academy".


    This was thest info thatpletely screwed the nut in King Tom''s head.


    "¡­" He shook in anger.


    "What?!!!"


    "He dared defy me again?!"


    "I ordered that no one should fight the terrorists until the mourning period of my father the previous King is over, how dare he defy me?!"


    "These are my orders, tell all the Grade C Superhumans in the to mobilize under my orders and capture Jon Stones".


    "He hasmitted treason against his King!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Yes, your Grace". The Commander of the Royal Guards who had been silent since replied at once as he left to fulfill the orders of his King.


    Bremer silently looked at King Tom for a few minutes for him to calm down, then he dropped hisst piece of information.


    "The terrorists didn''t stop there, they have also taken over the Northern Continent by storm by unleashing another of their allies, the Frost Giants".


    "What the hell are Frost Giants?!"


    Bremer threw the book down then he looked at his King. "Your Grace, even as we speak, thousands of civilians are already falling victim to the terrorists".


    "3 of our Continents have already been caught in the mes of terrorism".


    He paused to organize his thoughts. "Is it really advisable to stay so rigid and adamant in keeping your pride while letting thousands of your subjects die meaninglessly when just a single word from you can change the tides?"


    "¡­" King Tom paused in shock as he looked at his Hand.


    The next moment, he chuckled then he red at Bremer. "You too?"


    "You too dare to defy my orders?!"


    King Tom sprang out of his throne and drew the sword of one of the nearby royal guards as he charged towards his Hand with a livid expression on his face.


    Seeing the charging King, Bremer was already resigned to his fate.


    He closed his eyes and muttered. "For Darvis¡­"


    "For humanity¡­"


    Whoosh!


    Bremer lost his head to his King who he swore an oath to advise.


    Total silence befell the throne room, even the eyes of the doppelgangers through which the sworn royal protectors protected the king flickered.


    ¡­


    Christensen arrived to see a North that was already engulfed by chaos¡­


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Led by King Nagakin, the Frost Giants and the powerful Red Masters of the Clown Society led their followers on a rampage across the North.


    They ughtered with impunity, not caring if part of their victims were civilians. Blood flowed in the North, dying the white snow with a tinge of red even as the cold of this continent slowly started turning hot due to all the death.


    On top Leo, Christensen watched everything while straying away from the center of the battlefields to avoid being drawn into battle.


    The orders of the Hermit were ambiguous but he read his own meaning to it. ''The Hermit ordered me to go to the North and see if there''s any anomaly going on, this chaos is definitely an anomaly but it''s not the main element''.


    ''The psychopaths can''t definitely be aiming to cause only chaos by ughter, Clown is more intelligent than that, they definitely have a motive''.


    ''I need to investigate and find out their real goal in the North''.


    By keeping a safe distance from them, Christensen followed them even as the battle became more intense. Another peculiar fact to him was that despite the maniacal ughter in his territory, the Hunter Union barely reacted.


    It was like they did not care about the loss of life today.


    There were a lot of variables going on through all the chaos that indicated a lot of things, Christensen could not pinpoint anyone of them though so he only went with the most obvious one, King Nagakin.


    King Nagakin definitely had a motive as he led the charge in a direction.


    After an hour and a few dozen minutes of ughter, King Nagakin made his way to one of the prime pilgrim locations in the Northern Continent.


    "The Dragon Tower!"


    Christensen narrowed his eyes. "Is this their target?"

 Chapter 226 Battle For The Dragon Tower! [1]

    BOOM!


    King Nagakin threw his Ancient War Axe at the scattered bunch of Grade D superhumans that were tasked with protecting the Dragon Tower.


    None of them could withstand the might of the gigantic War Axe, it cleaved through them with impunity as blood and mutted body parts were scattered everywhere. The perimeter of the defenders was breached.


    King Nagakin received clear instructions from Clown.


    ''The Northern node of the core is anchored on the Dragon Tower''.


    ''After causing enough chaos in the North, seize the Dragon Tower''.


    ''It will be your base in the North until we seize the other zone nodes''.


    ''The Orc Tower will be seized by us soon after we kill Jon Stones''.


    These words remained and lingered at the back of this Frost Giant''s mind and it left him troubled, in recent months, he was exposed to Clown''s real ns.


    ''With the amount of energy that can be harnessed from the core using the 4 nodes, it will be enough to create another unstoppable disaster''.


    ''Will that not be essentially diving head-first into another cataclysm?''


    Though he and his race survived thest cataclysm due to the foundation of his race''s previous King and his clever act, King Nagakin was still traumatized by the apocalyptic urrence.


    Witnessing gigantic fiery metallic carriers of destruction falling on the inrge quantities, destroying everything without being able to do anything about it traumatized him.


    Witnessing the invincible Ancient Dragons falling from the skies with their blood dying Darvis with a color of doom, he was traumatized.


    Witnessing all the powerhouse Ancient races fall to a single act of disaster, he was traumatized, thest thing that he wanted in his life was to experience it again and was why he was so worried about it.


    Having witnessed it once, he was reluctant to witness something like that again. ''What is Clown''s real n with so much energy?''


    ''What is the real n of the Clown Society?''


    ''Is the core responsible for the cataclysm?''


    ''It''s the closest thing that I know can induce such a crazy amount of power''.


    Despite King Nagakin''s internal doubts, this did not prevent him from doing his best to execute his part of the n. Until he understood more about the Clown Society''s ns, he was inclined to not make any reckless decision.


    Afterall, at the moment, his life and that of his entire race was in the hands of the Clown Society. Any reckless action from him could lead to their extinction.


    And apart from Clown and his psychopaths, he had not met any other human who was receptive enough to ept warriors from other races like them.


    This was one thing that separated the Clown Society from the others.


    In their belief of embracing chaos, they also embraced anything alien. They didn''t care if their allies were from another race, instead, they epted it as more carriers of chaos. So long as there was chaos, they were satisfied.


    This was something that King Nagakin never detected in other humans. Core Protector Shanks, Jon Stones, all the powerful human warriors in history, he had encountered most of them one way or the other and he had impressions of them.


    None of them were like Clown, they all saw non-humans as aliens.<novelnext></novelnext>


    In their opinion, aliens were existences whose only purpose of living was plotting for the downfall of humanity. This was why they did their best to prevent the survivors of the Ancient races from rising again.


    Despite his conflicting thoughts, King Nagakin agreed on one thing. ''At this moment, the Clown Society is my only ally''.


    ''Till I learn more about their n, it is in my benefit to work for them''.


    As soon as he dered this in his mind, his will became much firmer. He no longer wavered in his ughter as he ughtered even more humans.


    At this moment, since he didn''t receive status updates from the Clown and the other ck Masters, he assumed that they were already ahead of him.


    This motivated him to put even more effort to fulfill his part of the n.


    After causing more than enough chaos across the territories in the Northern Continent, King Nagakin finally turned his attention to the Dragon Tower. Unlike the other territories, the Hunter Union had a presence here.


    Master Leon had some of his hunters here that were tasked with guarding the Dragon Tower all year round, now, they were attacked.


    King Nagakin did not hold back, as soon as he threw his War Axe which cleaved through them with impunity, he grabbed it again as he carved his way in.


    Behind him, hundreds of Frost Giants and psychopaths of the Clown Society followed as they were soon overrunning the defenders of the Hunter Union.


    King Nagakin almost seeded when someone unexpected arrived.


    Bzzz!


    The air shifted and from inside arrived a human, a human who was dressed like a monk, Master Leon, the leader of the Hunter Union.


    This renowned Master did not arrive alone, he arrived with his 4 beasts.


    Levitating on the skies was a gigantic Snowy Owl, Master Leon''s first contracted beast that had apanied him for centuries. The cry of the Snowy Owl barely reverberated in the air when another beast descended.


    Boom!


    The snow was sent flying everywhere as the gigantic Pr Bear roared to announce his presence, like the others, he was also a Grade C beast.


    Descending alongside the Pr Bear was a gigantic Frost Wolf.


    Master Leon''sst and most powerful beast which he mounted at this moment was a King Elk. This gigantic Elk had golden eyes that glowed brightly, its horns seemed to be made of the sturdiest metal on Darvis.


    On its neck was a thick mane thicker than that of any Lion.


    Master Leon may not have a bald head, but nevertheless with his clothes, he looked like a veteran monk.


    He had a calm harmonious look on his face as he looked at the Frost Giant King. "The destruction is enough".


    "Go home".

 Chapter 227 [Bonus ]Battle For The Dragon Shelter! [2]

    "Go home".


    They had not shed yet but just this word from the human was able to tell King Nagakin of the caliber of opponent that he was about to go up against.


    Since the North was his target and Master Leon was the default overlord here, King Nagakin already did his fair share of research about this warrior.


    Having shed with the human renowned as Sexy Chocte and losing resoundly despite being a full grade stronger, he developed a phobia for humans that forced him to never look down on any human opponent.


    Over the past 6 months since returning to Darvis, of course he already confirmed that the Sexy Chocte was an anomaly but he still had his phobia.


    He paused his actions as he looked at the human that now stood before him. "We have no apparent beef with the Hunter Union".


    "Allow us to peacefully achieve our goals and we''ll also allow you to fulfill your own goals, do not create a war where there is none".


    "¡­"


    Master Leon calmly stared at the Frost Giant King, his calm nonchnt eyes revealed what he thought about his opponent''s proposal.


    King Nagakin did not give up, he also discovered that this was an opportunity for him to know more. "What is in the Dragon Tower that you are adamant to protect even willing to fight a Grade C powerhouse like me for?"


    "¡­"


    "What is so important that you are willing to drag your innocent hunters into a meaningless war against us despite knowing how powerful we are?"


    "¡­" Master Leon kept his silence.


    "The Ancient Titan City, the Orc Tower, the Dragon Tower, what is the rtion between these 3 locations?"


    Master Leon finally spoke. "You don''t know their ns?"


    "¡­"


    This time, it was King Nagakin''s turn to be speechless.


    Master Leon continued. "Till now, we have no idea the rtionship between the locations you called and chaos that makes Clown interested in them".


    "That does not matter at this moment though".


    Master Leon calmly looked at him. "What matters is that this is a relic of my territory, and I will not allow you to ravage it with such impunity".


    King Nagakin closed his eyes. "Then you leave me no choice".


    He grabbed his War Axe tighter and took a deep breath, then he exploded with speed towards the Summoner as he shed with his War Axe.


    Whoosh!


    King Nagakin barely moved when the King Elk also moved.


    Since arriving at this battlefield, the glowing golden eyes of this Elk never left its target. The very moment that the Frost Giant King moved, it detected it as it moved instinctively while anticipating orders from its master.


    With his close connection to this beast, Master Leon did not disappoint, he gave his orders and like an extension of his body, the King Elk executed them.


    The King Elk charged towards the descending War Axe as it oriented it''s horns in a way where they could intercept the descending War Axe.


    The next moment, horn and Axe collided.


    BOOM!


    The sound was like exploding dominoes as King Nagakin felt an incredible force of nature suddenly pushing his weapon and his hand back.


    The King Elk''s body pulsed as a massive energy pushed outwards from it.


    King Nagakin could not withstand it, he was shoved back while the King Elk stood its ground. This brief sh may not havested long, but this was already more than enough time for the remaining 3 beasts to receive Master Leon''s orders.


    With a loud cry, the Snowy Owlunched into the air.<novelnext></novelnext>


    It did not linger in the air though as humidity in the air increased, the clouds gathered as it pped its wings as snow started falling. Under her maniption, the snow turned into extremely sharp spear darts.


    With thousands of them now in the skies, the Snowy Owl shrieked loudly as with incredible velocity, the snow darts were shot at the Frost Giants.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    King Nagakin was able to defend himself but not his allies and subordinates.


    Frost Giants and psychopaths alike died to this one single ability as the other beasts embraced their moment. The gigantic Frost Wolf and even more gigantic Pr Bear worked in tandem, together, they charged at the Frost Giant.


    "Awoo!"


    "Roar!"


    Leading at the front, the Frost Wolf breath as frost energy spread from its mouth like a natural disaster, freezing one leg of the Frost Giant King.


    As for the Pr Bear, it rolled itself into a ball beforeunching itself towards its opponent like a canon. Mid-air, it aroused its frost powers as extremely dangerous spikes were attached to its body.


    The Pr Bear mmed into King Nagakin.


    Despite raising his War Axe up to block, he was still knocked off bnce as he staggered backward. This first sh already told him the level of his opponent.


    King Nagakin deduced that from this, they were more or less evenly matched. If he continued this battle like this, it would take a far longer time than he wanted to achieve the main goal of his mission.


    "n B¡­" He secretly sent to his subordinates.


    Far away from King Nagakin, Din received the signal so also did one of the battling Frost Giants. Instantly, the Red Master and the powerful Frost Giant took on the mission of their superior to nt the energy receiver.


    Having delegated his mission, King Nagakin could finally focus on his opponent, he red at him. "I''ve lost miserably against a human once".


    "Let''s see if I can redeem myself with you¡­"


    As he spoke, he was already sprinting towards his opponent.


    When they shed again, it was much more intense and filled with killing intent as the battlefield of the 2 Grade C powerhouses instantly turned into a death zone where none of the other battling warriors dared enter.


    Calmly on top the King Elk, Master Leon controlled his beasts.


    With his incredible experience, he was able topletely contain this Frost Giant even as King Nagakin tried more ingenious ways to try injuring him.


    While they fought against each other, Din finally managed to sneak into the Dragon Tower. Dozens of hunters were already waiting for him inside but he was ready for them as with his sword, he shed.


    His special movement technique allowed him to evade all of their lethal attacks as he killed 8 of them while bypassing the rest to get to his goal.


    After passing through a long corridor, Din arrived at the heart of the Dragon Tower. At the heart of the tower was the earthen statue of a gigantic Red Dragon.


    The orders from his master was to imnt the energy receiver on the Dragon statue''s eye, but seeing this statue, Din felt something in him resonate.


    "Wan?" His eyes widened in surprise.


    For the first time, the Wan Dragon of his bloodline that he awakened acted on its own volition. The gigantic and ethereal Wan Dragon released itself out of Din''s body as the next moment it flew towards the statue.


    "Stop¡­!" Din tried to stop it but it was already toote.


    The ethereal Wan Dragon mmed into the statue and waspletely absorbed into it, then the next moment, the whole Dragon Tower started vibrating.


    Din''s eyes widened in shock as he felt a sensation from his bloodline.


    "What?"

 Chapter 228 [Bonus ]The True Power Of The Wan Dragon Bloodline; Din The Dragon Rider!

    The whole Tower shook as it seemed like an earthquake was imminent.


    Outside the tower, all the fighting stopped, even the battle between King Nagakin and Master Leon as the both of them turned to look at the statue in shock.


    Despite their different secrets about the true significance of the Dragon Tower, none of them were aware of the reason for the sudden shake.


    Boom!


    The next moment, a mighty power erupted from within the Dragon Tower.


    Apart from a certain young warrior, every other warrior that remained inside the tower was ttened into a bloody mess by the powerful red energy that spread across the tower. The next moment, the tower was set aze.


    The mes burned so hot that even a Grade C superhuman would be scalded but despite the heat, the Dragon Tower was unscathed in the fire.


    The outward reaction was already shocking, what went on inside was even more shocking. Inside, Din was the center of attention.


    The mighty power that erupted was after the Dragon statue shattered. The statue shattered to reveal what was sealed inside it, a real Red Dragon.


    Din''s ethereal Wan Dragon fused with the Dragon statue, and this became the key that unsealed this Ancient Dragon that had been sealed since hundreds of years ago. The aura of the Red Dragon was hot and aggressive.


    It wanted to run amuck after bing free but something restrained it.


    Din felt a powerful pressure welling in his abdomen, the power converging in his abdomen was so strong that he felt suffocated by it.


    His eyes widened in pain and also shock as he looked at this Red Dragon.


    Feeling the Grade C aura of this Red Dragon, the truth seemed even more unbelievable to him. He was now the master of this Dragon and not just that, his bloodline already established an organic connection between him and the Dragon.


    The power in Din''s abdomen finally exploded after umting to a peak.


    Bam!


    Din felt his world turn white and in this white world, he saw a red and extremely fiery energy rapidly rushing into his body. The pain from the surge of power was torturous but he gritted his teeth through it all.


    This power remolded Dinpletely. His bones, his blood, his skin, everything was remolded by this power until he became an entirely new being.


    A mighty power erupted with Din as the center the next moment, after this fortuitous encounter, Din relied on the incredible power of the Red Dragon through their organic connection which pushed him through all the way.


    Din was now a Grade C superhuman!


    Not just that, Din could no longer see the energy receiver that he once held.


    In the process of the red Dragon energy purifying his being, the energy receiver was added to the mix and he now became one of the nodes to channel the energy of the core. Din could feel his connection to the core.


    He looked at his hand, his body changed after this transformation.


    On some more open parts of his body was now something else, scales, Dragon scales. He felt an explosive strength on his body unlike anything that he had experienced before, Din clenched his fists to feel his new energy.


    "I¡­ feel¡­ powerful!" Din felt overwhelmed with power.


    The next moment, he looked up at the culprit of this all, his benefactor.


    The powerful Ancient Dragon struggled to breath fire. Having recognized its new reality as the pet of this little human pest, this Ancient Dragon wanted nothing more than to incinerate him to ashes but Din''s bloodline suppressed him.


    Din was amazed, he looked at himself. ''So, my bloodline was this powerful?''


    He looked at the gigantic Red Dragon that was far bigger and more real than his ethereal Wan Dragon. "You were sealed for 800 years".


    "You should be grateful that I set you free".<novelnext></novelnext>


    From this little time, he already understood his authority and power as his connection with the Red Dragon also allowed him to read its memories.


    "Inginhiarsi!" Din ordered in Ancient Darvis.


    The Red Dragon though unwilling lowered itself before its master.


    Confidently, Din climbed the body of this mighty Dragon until he found a foothold on its back which was convenient for him to ride it.


    Din looked outside as his heart burned with ambition.


    Hemanded. "Vre!"


    ¡­


    The signs like in every other continent also appeared in the North.


    Seeing a rainbow suddenly appear in the sky while such amotion was happening to the Dragon Tower, Master Leon''s eyes widened in shock.


    He looked inside the Dragon Tower with narrowed eyes filled with dread and shock. "A new Grade C superhuman?!"


    King Nagakin and the others also looked, the next moment, the Dragon Tower exploded into a thousand pieces and from the mes flew out a beast.


    From the mes and remains of the Dragon Shelter flew out a literal Dragon.


    The Red Dragon announced its reemergence to Darvis with a roar.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    The roar reverberated far and wide filled with power and authority, every single beast in the region cowered as a suppression of bloodlines took ce.


    The Snowy Owl, the Pr Bear, Frost Wolf, and even the King Elk all cowered.


    On top the Red Dragon, Din briefly swept his eyes across the humans and Frost Giants that were below him.


    King Nagakin and Master Leon were powerful opponents, but they were not the opponents that he wanted to make his breakout battle into the Grade C realm against. His eyes narrowed ambitiously.


    "Jon Stones is the only worthy opponent".


    In the North, Din already fulfilled the mission that his master and Clown sent them to fulfill, he was now the carrier of the energy receiver.


    The fact that his master didn''t contact him yet meant that their mission encountered some problems. "Master rarely encounter problems".


    "Is Jon Stones really that strong?"


    The more he thought of it, the more hyped he felt.


    His eyes narrowed as he focused ahead. "Craxes, vre!"


    The mighty Red Dragon pped its mighty wings one time, and like the wind, this mighty Dragon turned into a red meteor that disappeared into the distance.


    Everyone who saw this scene was shocked.


    "Is that¡­, a real Ancient Dragon?!"

 Chapter 229 4 Vs 1; An Epic Showdown!

    "Stones'' Specialty: Obliteration Fist!"


    BOOM!


    Crack!


    Once again, the sound reverberated like exploding dominoes even as literally all the bones on the Orc''s body made cracking sounds.


    Orc Warlord Zeke coughed blood inrge quantities as he flew through the air like a crashed airne after being smashed by another of Jon Stones''s fist.


    The force apanying this fist obliterated everything that was on its path.


    Compared to the first time that Jon Stones used this ability, it''s effects on the terrain were much more pronounced. Not just that, with 2 arms on each side now, each Obliteration Fist came with even more venom.


    Levitating in the skies, ck Master Einstein and Clown watched the development below with grave looks on their faces as their massive brains rapidly calcted in a bid to arrive at countermeasures.


    They barely arrived at any conclusion when Jon Stones attacked again.


    "Special Pugilist Ability: Vacuum Push!"


    Both Grade C Elementalists in the air rapidly erected their defense as the extreme force of nature crystallized from this powerful Pugilist''s Pugilist energy spread towards all of them like a natural disaster.


    Like usual, they struggled to defend against the powerful ability.


    When they recovered, without hesitation, both Elementalists resumed their job. Levitating in the skies, ck Master Einstein and Clown wrath AOE disaster.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Fiery explosions, sand, and wind disasters tore the surrounding to shreds.


    The hill where this battle was fought already turned into a valley due to the shockwaves of this battle. Every collision contained an unnatural amount of power, the ground was unable topletely absolve the effects of each collision.


    While the Elementalists spammed AOE attacks, Orc Warlord Zeke tookplete advantage of his brief moment of respite to catch his breath.


    At this moment, this Orc Warlord was already at hisst breath.


    Having lost half his left hand already, he was already incapacitated.


    Green blood flowed out of this warrior''s body on literally every part, his extremely strong vitality was the only reason why he still stood holding his War Axe. Jon Stones already taught him a lesson that he would never forget.


    Looking at the center of the explosion, his heart briefly shuddered.


    ''I''ve interacted with him over the years, but I never knew he was this strong''.


    ''Even the Ancient Dragons of old were not stronger than this''.


    Respect, awe, and fear were the only emotions that this Orc Warlord felt for his human opponent. Having interacted with Clown and ck Master Einstein also, he knew that both of these human warriors were also geniuses in their own rights.


    The fact that thebination of the 3 of them could not decimate this Pugilist, but rather they were being dominated overturned his view of life.


    ''Jon Stones is a monster!"


    Calling a human a monster described his extreme emotions.


    He was not the only one that was injured, ck Master Einstein and Clown also already suffered injuries of varying levels that affected their performance now.


    Even Jon Stones suffered injuries but not as severe as the ones they suffered.


    The battle was already dragging on for more than 2 hours yet they were still losing, the weaker Elementalists only survived till now because taking advantage of his vitality, Orc Warlord Zeke drew most of Jon Stones'' attacks.


    At this moment, he was like the tank yer while the other 2 were the damage dealers. Despite this strategy, they still could not beat Jon Stones.


    ''I''m already in this deep, I can''t quit any longer''.


    Zeke took a deep breath and grabbed his only surviving War Axe as he prepared to sprint towards Jon Stones, but the next moment, the Pugilist moved first as from the explosions, he leaped out.


    Having tried the Orc Warlord''s vitality for the past 2 hours, despite already knowing of the incredible vitality of Orcs, Jon Stones was still surprised.


    This was why he changed his approach to this battle to win faster.


    Camouged in the explosive cover of the 2 Elementalist''s spamming attacks, he made sure his timing was perfect before he leaped. Injecting his Pugilist energy into his legs, heunched into the skies like a space rocket.


    Having tried Clown''s defense, he knew how strong the Elementalist was.<novelnext></novelnext>


    And having tried ck Master Einstein, he also knew that this Grade C Elementalist had the normal defenses and vitality of any other Elementalist.


    His target was ck Master Einstein!


    Whoosh!


    With narrowed eyes, Jon Stones barely leaped into the skies when he felt somethinging towards him at an incredible speed. Mid-air, he forced himself as he was barely able to look and see the culprit of the feeling.


    What he saw shocked the freaking soul out of him.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Riding on top Craxes his new ride, after a journey that barely took a few minutes due to the incredible speed of the Red Dragon, Din finally arrived.


    From afar, he could already see the condition of the battle.


    Though he already suspected it, he was still shocked by the scene of a single Pugilist thrashing the Orc Warlord, his master, and his master''s superior.


    He was amazed but the sight only made his blood boil hotter, it only fanned the mes of his grand ambition, and this was why he ordered Craxes to jump into the fray. With incredible momentum, the Red Dragon dived down.


    By the time that Jon Stones detected the danger, it was already toote.


    On Dragon back, Din ordered. "Bruciare!"


    The mighty Red Dragon opened its gigantic mouth, then it breath primordial Dragon Fire as the incredible heat of the fire alone distorted the airspace.


    Jon Stones reacted instinctively to save his life.


    By covering his face with his arms, his powerful Pugilist Energy was aroused to form an energy shield. The next moment, the fire shed against his shield.


    BOOM!


    Jon Stones was destabilized in the air by the force of the raging Dragon Fire.


    His shield was burned through, and his skin was scalded, only his incredible physical defense as a Pugilist prevented him from burning to ashes as the force of the attack pushed him all the way from the skies to the ground.


    Jon Stones copsed on the ground with a mighty thud.


    Clown and ck Master Einstein, recognizing the Dragon Rider were shocked at his sudden emergence and his power but this did not affect their reaction a bit.


    Having been dominated by Jon Stones for the past 2 hours, all that their mind was focused on was thinking of a n to finally dominate the Pugilist. When this opportunity now came, they were prepared, they took advantage of it.


    Both Elementalists used their strongest abilities to end the Pugilist''s life.


    Stuck in the ground, Jon Stones could not dodge as he was attacked.


    As soon as Craxesnded, Din ordered again from its back.


    "Bruciare!"


    The mighty Red Dragon opened its mouth and breath fire again.


    This time, Jon Stones felt his danger instincts ring. If he didn''t take a drastic decision, he had no doubt that this may be hisst moment alive.


    "Stones'' Specialty: Ultimate Defense!"


    Jon Stones burned 30% of his mana points to activate this defensive ability.


    BOOM!


    The attacks finally collided against it and it waspletely crazy.


    The aftereffects of the attacksted for more than a minute. After everything died down, they looked only to see a pair of blood-shot eyes ring back at them.


    Jon Stones'' blood-shot eyes were focused on the Red Dragon.


    This epic sh was now a 4 vs 1 battle!

 Chapter 230 The Fall Of A Legend

    Jon Stones'' bloodshot eyes focused on the Red Dragon.


    "Craxes". He muttered the next moment with dread in his voice.


    Centuries ago, Jon Stones witnessed the scene as the founding warrior of the Hunter Union sealed this powerful Ancient Dragon in the Dragon Tower.


    Craxes was a teenage Ancient Dragon when he was sealed, the child of a warrior Ancient Dragon. During the cataclysm, due to the incredible sacrifice of of his parent, Craxes was able to survive the cataclysm.


    Once humans rose to power, the founder of the Hunter Union tried to tame the Dragon but Dragons were not monsters that could be so easily tamed.


    Out of frustration of not being able to tame the extremely powerful beast, the founder of the Hunter Union finally sealed the powerful beast in the Dragon Tower, this was a truth that was known to only a few individuals today.


    Jon Stones'' eyes widened even more as he looked at the Dragon''s rider.


    ''Craxes, a Dragon was tamed?''


    ''How is this possible?''


    The ridiculousness of this situation was so much that Jon Stones'' outlook of the world itself turned upside down, he was startled beyond measure.


    Knowing the capability of the Ancient Dragons, he was even more shocked.


    Despite Jon Stones shock, neither Din nor his other opponents paid much attention to the trepidations of his heart. What mattered to Clown was that reinforcement was here, and he was not about to miss this opportunity.


    For his ns to work, Jon Stones needed to either die or be severely injured.


    Not only that, the Pugilist Academy needed to be a relic of the past.


    Still levitating in the skies, Clown''s psionic energy was hard at work as the mechanicalponents of his body slowly restored themselves. While this happened, he paidplete attention to the battle.


    He spoke. "It''s now a 4 vs 1, our chances of victory just increased".


    "ck Master Din, how strong are you after your breakthrough?"


    Clown was a man of practicalities, since Din already became the next Grade C powerhouse of the Clown Society, there was no need to deprive him of his rank as the next ck Master of the Clown Society.


    All he wanted now was to finally bring this Pugilist down.


    From on top the Red Dragon, Din spoke. "Craxes alone is stronger than most Grade C powerhouses, I don''t believe I''m weaker".


    "Good, attack!" Clown did not beat around the bush.


    Whoosh!


    For thest attack run, they all ganged up on this powerful Pugilist.


    This time, as experienced warriors, they already changed their battle approach without needing tomunicate with each other. With an existence like an Ancient Dragon now here, Orc Warlord Zeke no longer needed to act as the tank.


    The Ancient Dragon automatically became the tank of this team.


    ck Master Einstein and Clown remained the main damage dealers, as for Orc Warlord Zeke and Din, they became the support of this battlefield.


    This time, the Elementalists jumped into the battle with much more confidence. This time, Jon Stones was no longer just outnumbered, he was outmatched for real as Jon Stones'' face turned grave.


    The sight of the Ancient Dragon already told him that he could no longer take this battle trivially, he needed to take it serious or even his life would be threatened. Jon Stones no longer dared to hold back.


    "Forbidden Pugilist Ability: 2nd Ultimate Form!"


    Boom!


    The next moment, an even more aggressive Pugilist energy erupted.


    Jon Stones did not have an exaggerated transformation like growing an extra pair of hands this time, what he instead gained was a change in the color of his skin.


    His skin became brown and hard like an Ancient piece of wood.


    Apart from his power tripling, his defense increased ridiculously.


    "Bruciare!"


    "ROAR¡­!!!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    Craxes roared as his mighty Dragon Fire was unleashed on the Pugilist.


    Jon Stones focused on defense this time, consolidating his Pugilist Energy to defend against the burning fire. Despite consolidating his defense, he still grimaced as the mes collided against him, he felt like he was hit by a sledgehammer.


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Dragon of Sand and Fire!"


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Wind Phoenix Cataclysm!"


    One of the greatest boons of fighting such a powerful opponent for such a long time was that they were all in their sharpest state at the moment.


    They effortlessly unleashed their strongest abilities on the Pugilist.


    Orc Warlord Zeke focused his energy before throwing his remaining War Axe.


    "Special Axe Attack: Fury Smash!"


    Whoosh!


    Din became the fruit on top the cherry as this new Grade C Pugilist jumped from his Dragon, Din clenched his fists and released his strongest shot.


    "Special Pugilist Ability: Hammer Fist!"


    Jon Stones ate all these abilities despite being just one superhuman.


    BOOM!


    He tried his best, but this powerful Pugilist could not withstand it as he was ttened to the ground. Jon Stones was incredibly powerful, but there was a limit to power, fighting this caliber of opponents already exceeded his limits.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    He was given no time to catch his breath, attacks were spammed against him as Jon Stones bled a river of blood in the crater that was created on the ground.


    When the attack frequency finally calmed down, this Pugilist was dying.


    In just 5 minutes after Din and Craxes'' arrival, he was already close to death.


    "Ugh¡­" Jon Stones coughed blood.


    This powerful Pugilist struggled to stand up as with hisst remaining bit of power, he tried to stimte himself to enter his ultimate state.


    Not carrying about the consequences any longer, for the first time in a long time, Jon Stones intended to enter his 3rd Ultimate Form state.


    This was the state where he was in his strongest form.


    With blood-shot eyes and bulging veins, this Pugilist roared.


    "FORBIDDEN PUGILIST ABILITY: 3RD ULTIMATE¡­!"


    In the middle of activating this ability, Craxes detected the danger ahead of time and acted. This Dragon spoke themon tongue for the first time.


    "Special Draconic Ability: Dragon''s Gaze!"


    The mighty Red Dragon''s predatory eyes pinned Jon Stones, and instantly, this powerful superhuman was petrified, he could notpletely activate his ability. Clown and his entourage dared not waste this opportunity.


    "He''s at his wit''s end!"


    "Kill him!"


    None of them dared hesitate, knowing the danger of their opponent, for onest round, they pushed themselves to the limits and spammed attacks at him.


    When the shockwaves died down, Jon Stones was left in a pool of his own blood. His blood-shot eyes stared at his opponents weakly.


    He chuckled. "I lost¡­"


    "Kill me".

 Chapter 231 Commander Kratos Decision

    If Jon Stones had a virtual interface status, at this moment, he would be receiving a spam of warning notifications about his current state.


    The simple act of breathing now became a chore to this powerful Pugilist.


    Every breath that he drew in left his lungs like they were on fire.


    The light that shone into his eyes now felt so prative like he was a demon that was being purged by the purifying light of the Light God.


    His body felt like it was on fire, from his bones, his blood, everything felt so painful like a thousand knives were constantly stabbing at his organs.


    "Urggh¡­!" Jon Stones groaned and growled deeply at the pain.


    At this moment, not only was his health points below 5% and at a critical level, but his mana points were also at a critical level below 10%.


    He was already at his wits end and he was realistic, he recognized it and was why he no longer deemed it fit to keep on resisting.


    If he was going to die, he would die like a warrior.


    That was Jon Stones'' creed.


    With his bloody eyes, he red at his 4 opponents who at this moment were looking down at him with victorious smirks and relieved expressions on their faces.


    He chuckled. "I lost¡­"


    "Do not defile me, give me the honor of dying a warrior''s death".


    Jon Stones said this with so much pride and emotion that even his opponents were affected. He may have lost the battle, but his pride was not lost.


    He still viewed himself as the strongest superhuman to have graced Darvis. The mere fact that it took an Ancient Red Dragon, an Ancient Orc Warlord, and 3 talented Grade C humans to overpower him further solidified this fact.


    Clown looked down at this warrior with strange emotions on his face.


    "I admire you as a warrior, but to further my ns, you must die".


    Clown raised his Elementalist staff as an aggressive fire energy started gathering at its tip, the atmosphere grew tense and even slightly sad.


    Jon Stones epted his fate and closed his eyes.


    ¡­


    "Commander, what are your orders?"


    A blonde-haired middle-aged man turned to face the group of powerful Pugilists that were standing before him. He may not have gone through any battle yet, but the weariness on his face suggested that he was mentally exhausted.


    Commander Kratos was the residing Commander of the headquarters of the Pugilist Academy, the whole Might Dojo answered to him.


    Jon Stones may be the founding leader, but he was too engrossed in his martial arts training to pay any attention to the day-to-day governing of his organization, it was Commander Kratos who relieved him of these duties.


    At this moment, this Commander was now faced with a difficult decision.


    For the past 2 hours, they had to watch from afar as their leader fought alone. They didn''t feel it much since Jon Stones dominated the battle, but once the Red Dragon and its rider came, everything changed.


    Jon Stones could no longer dominate, he was now dominated.


    The thousands of Pugilists in the Might Dojo were forced to watch from afar as their leader was beaten to the point of near-death state, and now they also had to watch as Jon Stones was about to be killed.


    Commander Kratos pinched the space between his eyebrows, his face showed extreme stress. "My wife and my daughter?"


    "They are with the other evacuating female and children in the tunnel".


    "All they are waiting for is your final order to finally evacuate them".


    As the Captain said this, tears were already welling in this Commander''s eyes. He looked at his dying leader, then he pictured his endangered family.


    "Captain Dawn".


    "Yes, Commander".


    Commander Kratos turned to look at him. "Tell my wife and daughter that I am sorry".


    Captain Dawn was confused. "What do you mean?"


    "With the power vested on me as the Commander of the Might Dojo, I appoint you as the leader of the evacuating party".


    "¡­" Captain Dawn was shocked.


    "You can''t do that sir¡­, I am needed in the battle¡­"


    Commander Kratos red at him. "This is an order!"


    Captain Dawn gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, then he bowed his head even as his body shook. "Yes, Commander".<novelnext></novelnext>


    Commander Kratos patted this warrior on the shoulder as he wiped his tears. "Please keep my wife and daughter alive".


    "Now go!"


    Captain Dawn paid hisst respects before turning to leave.


    As the Captain left, Commander Kratos closed his eyes and clenched his fists as he let the guilt and realization of what he was about to do settle in his mind.


    The next moment, he opened his eyes and they gleamed with a fiery zeal.


    "Jon Stones gave me my life¡­"


    "I will repay this debt and give him mine!"


    "For the leader!"


    "FOR THE LEADER!"


    An army of Pugilists rallied behind him.


    The Pugilist Academy was a peculiar organization. Despite the fact that their leader was the strongest superhuman on the, they had no 2nd Grade C Pugilist, Jon Stones'' student deserted the academy long ago.


    Though they never prayed for a day like this, Commander Kratos kept up to date with all thetest means that were avable to superhumans.


    The next moment, he brought out 3 scrolls.


    All 3 scrolls emitted an aggressive aura.


    Without hesitation, Commander Kratos opened the first 2 scrolls.


    "ROAR!"


    "HISS¡­!!!"


    From the 2 scrolls came out summoned beasts, a Grade C Ice Smander and a Grade C Myriad Poison Snake. As soon as they arrived, they received their target as without hesitation, they charged towards their target.


    BOOM!


    A mighty water beam was unleashed by the Myriad Poison Snake the next moment, right at the moment when Clown was about to end Jon Stones'' life.


    After a mighty collision, water and fire cancelled each other out, buying just enough time for the 2 Grade C beasts to arrive and rescue their patron.


    With Jon Stones temporarily saved by the 2 powerful beasts, Commander Kratos decisively opened thest scroll, exposing its contents.


    A sturdy Grade C Water Elementalist Barrier was exposed from the scroll.


    This Elementalist barrier covered Jon Stones and the 2 summoned beasts in its perimeter, isting only the 4 Grade C enemies outside the perimeter.


    As soon as this happened, Commander Kratos finally pulled out his twin Sabers. He may be only a Grade D superhuman but at this moment, he exhibited no fear even when he was going up against 4 Grade C superhumans.


    At this moment, his zeal to protect his leader burned in tandem with the other thousands of Pugilists who now stood behind him.


    "United we stand¡­, divided we fall".


    "We either save our leader today, or we die trying!"


    Like the leader that he was, Commander Kratos led from the front.


    He led the charge out to go meet the 4 Grade C superhumans, no fear or suppression of grades could affect him any longer, he was in a special state.


    Thousands of Pugilists charged after him at the Grade C Superhumans.


    On top Craxes, Din looked down at the Pugilists with disdain.


    "Bruciare!"


    With a mighty roar, Craxes breath Dragon Fire.


    The Pugilists ran into it without fear.


    "FOR THE LEADER!!!"


    BOOM!

 Chapter 232 The Fall Of The Pugilist Academy

    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Craxes'' mighty roar reverberated around the battlefield.


    Every single Pugilist that came into contact with the mighty raging fire was incinerated to ashes. Unlike the others, Commander Kratos did not die so easily as his expensive armor and gadgets briefly kept him alive.


    Despite the death and fire around him, he did not back down as this Commander slid under the raging fire and decisively went under the Dragon.


    "Kratos'' Specialty: Continuous Raging sh!"


    Whoosh!


    Like his hand was the wind itself, under the mighty Dragon, Commander Kratos grabbed his twin Sabers as he performed his strongest Pugilist ability.


    With this ability, he once singlehandedly killed a Might Bear.


    But that was a Might Bear, this was a real literal Ancient Red Dragon.


    The sounds of the twin Sabers and the Pugilist energy colliding against the Dragon''s scales was like 2 swords shing against each other.


    Craxes'' scales were impervious to normal attacks, they could not prate especially when these attacks wereing from a Grade D Pugilist.


    Despite not being able to prate, Commander Kratos''s zeal pushed him to exert so much effort that he was able to annoy the Red Dragon.


    On noticing Craxes'' difort, Din looked down only to see the Commander below. All that he did was to simply control the Dragon to do the needful.


    Commander Kratos noticed the danger but it was already toote, he was not fast enough as Craxes pinned him down with one of his gigantic talons.


    Then the next moment, the Red Dragon breath fire on its victim.


    Despite his gadgets, Commander Kratos did not have what it took to survive it. This Commander did not scream in pain, neither did he cry or beg for forgiveness, even in death, Commander Kratos was still an inspiration to his soldiers.


    "FOR THE LEADER!"


    These were hisst words as Craxes'' fire incinerated this Commander to ashes. Seeing this scene, Commander Kratos'' soldiers were not demoralized, they instead felt even more angered and challenged.


    "FOR THE LEADER!"


    "FOR COMMANDER KRATOS!"


    They now had 2 motivations to give their all in this fight for their lives.


    The soldiers gave their all to fight but they were simply trampled on to death. Orc Warlord Zeke decided to skip this battle and rest, but Clown and ck Master Einstein already levitated into the skies as they joined the battle.


    Their intentions were as clear as day to everyone who saw them.


    They intended toy waste to the once glorious and iconic Might Dojo.


    "Special Elementalist Ability: Sands of Doom!"


    "Special Elementalist Ability: Hell''s Fire!"


    Clown and ck Master Einstein went all out in the destruction.


    Despite the resistance of the 2 summoned beasts, they stood no chance before them. The Ice Smander and the Myriad Poison Snake onlysted for a few minutes before they were annihted.


    The shield did not hold either, it was shattered by pure power.


    Lying on the ground amid the raging fire, explosions, and death, Jon Stones'' blood-stained eyes watched everything. He watched as the organization that he spent centuries to build and develop wasid to waste.


    He watched as his Pugilists were ughtered in the hundreds.


    He watched as the young talented boy that he adopted died, Commander Kratos'' death touched him more than all the others.


    "Ahhh¡­!" This warrior grunted in pain, not physical but emotional.


    The pain to the heart was much more painful. Seeing the little cheery boy that he once adopted die before him, the boy with so much ambitions die before him, Jon Stones felt like his heart was cut into a thousand pieces.


    This Pugilist was originally always stable, but he could no longer remain so.


    "Ahhhhh¡­!!!" He grunted in pain as he forced himself to stand up.


    His gait was unsteady but the sheer pain in his heart pushed him to move, he staggered to where Kratos'' ashes were as he copsed on the ground beside them.


    "Ahhhhh¡­!!!" He roared to vent his frustration out.


    For the first time in his long career as a Pugilist, he expressed some regrets. ''I was too arrogant, why did I let them corner me¡­?''


    ''Why was I so obsessed with challenging myself¡­?''


    ''Why was I not content with my power¡­?''


    ''Why was I not content with keeping and protecting what I had¡­?''


    ''I didn''t even get to reciprocate Eleanor''s feelings¡­''


    The regrets were too much as his brain became full.


    Thud!


    The next moment, Din jumped down from his Dragon beside the Pugilist.


    "I''ve heard for a long time that you are the strongest Pugilist in our, now, I want to officially challenge¡­"


    "DIE!" Jon Stones pushed himself to the limits as he rushed at this Pugilist.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Mid-sprint, he jerked as he coughed blood, he was already too weak and injured. This did not stop him though as he continued his run.


    Jon Stones was far from his peak state, Din easily read his movements.


    Bam!


    With one palm, Din mmed this legendary Pugilist to the ground.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    He was content with beating the hell out of the weak version of this legend. Jon Stones coughed blood as Din ran riot through his body, breaking all his bones, literally squeezing him dry of any notion of blood in his body.


    Far away in the distance, a pair of eyes watched as agitation shone in them.


    de could not take it anymore.


    "Bastard¡­!" He moved but having been watching him, Legs arrived right on time as he stopped his student with a push to his chest.


    "Calm down!"


    "How can I calm down?!" de''s emotions exploded.


    "He is one of the main culprits responsible for what happened to my parents and my tribe, he is someone that I can never forgive!"


    "He should be on my kill list!"


    "I never knew he was alive and is this strong already". de scratched his head like he was going crazy. "I can''t let him keep on living!"


    "And I can''t allow him harass a Pugilist legend like this!"


    Legs red into his student''s eyes then he exerted his authority. "Calm down".


    Legs''s authority worked, de finally calmed down.


    "Look around you". Legs gestured.


    de looked and all he saw was disaster, the 2 Grade C Elementalists rendering waste to the once iconic Might Dojo, Dinpletely viting the Pugilist Legend, the blood and the death, it was a disastrous sight.


    "You see?" Legs raised his hand as he held his student by both sides of his face. "This is what happens when you go against an opponent that you barely know without sufficient preparations".


    "No matter how strong you are, never forget this, always be prepared".


    "Jon Stones will fall today because he was not prepared".


    "Despite the fact that all his opponents were powerful, he never gave them the respect that they deserved, he was conceited and only believed in his own power, that is what led to his downfall".


    "If you go in now, you''ll die too because you are not prepared".


    "Stay patient, suppress your resentment, feed on it, let it be your sustenance to push you into bing the best Pugilist to take the title after Jon Stones".


    "If you go in now, you''ll never be the best Pugilist".


    "You''ll never avenge your family and your tribe".


    "You''ll die!"


    de finally calmed down as he held Legs''s hand. Since bing his master''s student, he rarely talked unlike Christensen, all his mind was focused on getting as much power as possible to avenge his tribe and his family.


    He always tried to act strong while he was still traumatized by the Clown Society, now, he broke down, tears flowed down de''s eyes.


    "I-I''m sorry¡­" He stuttered as tears flowed down his eyes.


    He clenched his fists as he roared. "Ahhh¡­!!!"


    Legs tightly embraced his student and slowly led him out of the vicinity.


    ¡­


    "What are yourst words?"


    With a haughty look on his face, Din asked the Pugilist Legend.


    Jon Stones with his swollen face, broken teeth, and his bloody face looked at this Pugilist, he chuckled bitterly. "I pray you never regret your actions".


    "Is that yourst words?"


    "Yes".


    Whoosh!


    Din shed down with his sword.


    With all his defense gone, Jon Stones could do nothing, the sword met very little resistance as it separated this legend''s head from his body.


    Instantly, ck lighting snaked through the skies as thunder rumbled.


    Today, a legend fell.

 Chapter 233 Ripple Effects Of The Fall Of The Pugilist Academy

    Gwen Shelter¡­


    The news came like raging fire in harmattan.


    Its momentum could not be stopped. Apparently, the Clown Society already nned ahead and had special cells in ce to proliferate the news.


    As soon as Jon Stones, the widely-recognized strongest Pugilist in Darvis who was also recognized by many as the strongest superhuman on Darvis was confirmed dead, the news spread far and wide.


    With the thousands of cells that were nted by the Clown Society, it could not be stopped. In just an hour, the news got to every corner of the.


    People had different reactions to the news.


    Gwen Shelter was one of the medium-sized shelters. At this moment, to battle the cold of theing winter, a group of civilians stood around a fire.


    The smell of roasting fish diffused the air from the burning fire.


    "Is this a prank?"


    "How can 1 of the 3 main organizations fall?"


    "This is definitely a joke, the Pugilist Academy will get those who are spreading the rumors, you better keep your mouth shut to avoid implicating yourself".


    "But it''s the truth, or else it won''t be on everyone''s mouths".


    While they discussed among themselves, with most of them preferring to stay prudent until things were further verified, they suddenly heard footsteps.


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    Dozens of men and women were running from the other side in a panic.


    This group of civilians were startled as they separated from the burning fire, even as the others kept on running, they listened to what they were yelling.


    "The base of the Pugilist Academy¡­"


    "¡­Gangs¡­"


    "¡­attack¡­"


    Clearly, these people were so traumatized that they spoke incoherently.


    The sight spooked them, they could barely make sense of what was happening, most of them joined the others to escape though they didn''t know what was going on.


    "What is going on?"


    No one answered them.


    The bravest of them instead turned to go to where the others were running from. After getting close enough, they got sight of the faraway base of the Pugilist Academy that was one of the ruling powers in the Gwen Shelter.


    At this moment, despite the distance separating them, what they could see left their mouths wide opened in shock.


    The base of the Pugilist Academy was on fire.


    At other directions, they could see different humans who were armed with different weapons storming towards the base of the Pugilist Academy.


    Looking closer, they recognized some of the uniforms that these thugs wore.


    "The Youth''s Roar Gang?!"


    "It''s a Gang fight!" One of them realized with widened eyes.


    All they needed to do was put 2 and 2 and connect the dots, they easily arrived at the reason for thismotion.


    They gasped in shock.<novelnext></novelnext>


    For a long time, though there were other organizations in the, the 3 Academies were long seen as the most powerful organizations in the.


    They were widely seen as untouchable and invincible, this built a sense of awe for the Academies within every single human in Darvis.


    With the Clown Society now smashing one of the big 3 organizations, not only killing their leader, butying waste to their headquarters, that image of invincibility was torn away for the first time since its inception.


    If the headquarters of the Pugilist Academy could be defeated andid to waste, then their smaller bases were even easier to destroy and raid.


    The Clown Society''s actions gave the criminal vices the courage that they needed, now the gangs came out in their numbers to test the theory.


    To them, the Pugilist Academy was no longer that gigantic unstoppable Shark. To them, the Pugilist Academy was now an injured Shark who lost his teeth.


    The riches of the Pugilist Academy were now up for grabs and they were greedy, it was too much to expect criminals not to be greedy.


    The gangs temporarily banded together to overthrow the Pugilist Academy.


    Like the Clown Society wanted, they got the chaos that they wanted.


    Bam!


    The bravest of the group of civilians who turned back were startled as they were suddenly attacked by crazy gangsters of the different gangs.


    2 of them were killed before the others reacted.


    They reacted, overpowered, and killed the 3 gangsters before taking their weapons. The next moment, they broke into a nearby shop.


    "To survive, we need to steal essentials and livestock till this chaos passes".


    Theft, murder, robberies, ****, they became normal urrence on this momentous day in Gwen Shelter as hundreds of lives were lost.


    In the end, the base of the Pugilist Academy was burned to the ground. Few Pugilists who worked there were able to escape.


    After the base of the Pugilist Academy, they went after the base of the Elementalist and Summoner Academies but these ones fared better.


    They locked themselves inside their bases and defended with their lives.


    Not only Gwen Shelter, literally all the shelters were drawn into chaos.


    Wars, deaths, cannibalism, murder, they were all essential to the development of superhumans. In the Clown Society''s ideology, this chaotic environment was the right environment for supers to grow and exceed their limits.


    The premise was not entirely wrong as just after a few hours after the chaos started, champions who thrived through the chaos and killing started appearing.


    These champions arrived after stepping over the death of hundreds of corpses, both vulnerable women, the vulnerable old, and young children.


    Thewful organizations vastly underestimated the influence and power of the Clown Society, with their masterstroke in the Western Continent, they were able to set the whole aze without using more of their forces.


    All thewful organizations mobilized in their numbers to curb the chaos.


    While all the attention was drawn to the chaos, less attention was given to the royal pce where another disaster was about to go down.


    After going under the radar which took him much more time to arrive at his destination, ck Master Abaddon finally arrived at the Darvis royal pce.


    More disaster and chaos were on the way.


    Today was a day that Darvis won''t forget quickly.

 Chapter 234 Remnants Of The Pugilist Academy

    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Explosions reverberated as the destruction continued.


    In just a few hours, the high and mighty Dragon Shelter became a shadow of its former self. This famous Shelter was kept stable mainly because of the presence of the Pugilist Academy and their leader, Jon Stones.


    At his peak, Jon Stones was so dominating that none of the otherwful organizations in Darvis dared to ce their headquarters close to his.


    Originally, this was a show of the power of the Pugilist Academy but now that the Pugilist Academy finally fell, it''s shorings shone ringly.


    With the fall of the Pugilist Academy, their was no backup to keep order.


    All the resentment that had been growing in the dark about the reigning Pugilist Academy was fully unleashed on this fateful day.


    With the Clown Society setting the tone for them, the numerous gangs and small-time powers in Dragon Shelter took over in a bid to find their ce.


    Unlike in the other shelters where the gangs were focused on uprooting the leading powers, in the Dragon Shelter, the Pugilist Academy was already neutralized, what they instead fought chaotically for now was power.


    All of them wanted to be the next overlord of the Dragon Shelter.


    This struggle for power unleashed great chaos on this Shelter.


    Warriors died in droves as gangs mercilessly attacked each other, trying their best to show more aggressiveness than their counterparts to im their territories.


    While these gang fights happened, turning Dragon Shelter into a burning hell, the victims who suffered most were the hapless civilians.


    Whenever they were caught in the firefight, they were ughtered mercilessly. Not even seeking refuge in buildings could save them.


    In a chaotic struggle for power like this that involved dozens of Grade E superhumans, it was inevitable that not even buildings could survive their onught. The superhumans ughtered their way across the shelter.


    Amid the cries and wails of the helpless, the injured, and the dying, the few brave ones still tried their best to escape the shelter and in consequence the chaos.


    Among those that were escaping was Captain Dawn.


    This Captain''s eyes were burning crazy with the desperation to protect his patrons. Having received thest orders of his Commander, Captain Dawn was determined to fulfill them even in death.


    He took the warriors and civilians of the Pugilist Academy that were safely evacuated as he led them through the secret tunnel to escape.


    As they escaped, they heard the sounds that reverberated behind them.


    After about a dozen minutes, when the sounds finally died down, Captain Dawn knew that the Pugilist Academy already met a disastrous end.


    ''Commander Kratos''.


    ''Leader Jon Stones''. Captain Dawn gritted his teeth.


    He was pained but he did not let this affect him, he focused on fulfilling thest orders of his Commander as he led them out of the tunnel.


    "Do not look back, focus on escaping to the end of the tunnel!"


    When they got close to the tunnel, Captain Dawn unsheathed his Saber.


    With eyes zing with fury and a desire for vengeance and duty, he burst out of the tunnel to meet chaos. Captain Dawn did not even think nor did he hesitate, his Grade D Pugilist aura exploded as he started a ughter.


    Whoosh!


    His Saber flowed with his intentions like water as he ughtered.


    His subordinates came and joined him while the others escorted the civilians away. Unfortunately for them, they were still far from leaving the city.


    The more they passed through the shelter, the more gangs recognized them and the more gangsters attacked them. The small-time powers in the Shelter were also attracted as they mobilized their Grade D powerhouses after them.


    Annihting the remnants of the Pugilist Academy would give whoever did it a great boost in their quest to be the new overlord.


    The Pugilists were pushed to the wall, it finally got to the extent where they started dying as desperation gripped Captain Dawn.


    ''I can''t let them die!''


    ''Even if I die, they must survive!''


    ''I must fulfill the Commander''sst orders!''


    Amid his desperation, someone else burst into the scene.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration!


    Beast Integration Sessful!


    You have fused with Predator


    [Base Control Level: 48%]


    [+10% Base Control Level from hierarchy!]<novelnext></novelnext>


    [Intermediate Summoner Knowledge: Enhanced Leadership Detected!]


    [+15% Control Level!]


    [Overall Control Level: 73%]


    ----


    With Predator''s hierarchy, their integration became even more perfect, Legs could draw more power from this powerful beast now.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Predator roared excitedly as he jumped into the fray.


    Fused with Predator, Legs was unstoppable as he tore through the chaotic superhumans with impunity. Not even the Grade D superhumans that were sent by the small-time powers of this sheltersted against him.


    Legs did note alone though, at another side.


    "Kill these mother*ckers!"


    "Teach them not to f*ck with the Young Nightmare!"


    de led the charge while following directly behind him were 2 prominent figures, the criminals turned warriors Afro Pugilist and Frost Crane.


    Behind them was the full Frost-Afro Gang.


    "KILL!!!"


    These criminals were merciless, under de''s leadership, they ughtered their way through the chaotic superhumans.


    Legs dared to show his face only because Clown and his cabal of Grade D superhumans already left, he decided to save the remnants of the Pugilist Academy. Also, in thest 6 months, he did more than getting 2 identities.


    After convincing them, the Frost-Afro Gang now worked for him.


    Under his leadership, all the nearby superhumans were ughtered, freeing the remnants of the Pugilist Academy from their present situation.


    "Follow me!" Frost Crane called at them.


    "¡­" Captain Dawn hesitated.


    Having expected it, Legs reacted fast.


    "What were your Commander''s orders again?"


    "Please keep my wife and my daughter alive".


    He stared straight at this Captain''s eyes, having listened through his Auditory Tracking ability, he was able to hear the Commander''s orders.


    Captain Dawn was clearly affected by his words but not to the tipping point yet, Legs sighed in exasperation.


    "You don''t have the time nor luxury to be so indecisive".


    "If I''m here to harm you, you think I can''t just ughter you all right now?"


    "Following my warriors is your only way to survive today".


    Captain Dawn looked into Legs''s eyes, then he spoke. "Thank you".


    "I hope I''m not making the wrong choice".


    "You''re not". Legs smiled.


    Without hesitation, Afro Pugilist and Frost Crane went to work as they presented their special criminal attire to the bunch of escapees.


    This way, they could no longer attract aggro with such impunity.


    As soon as they were camouged with the special attire, escaping became much easier as in no time, they were finally able to escape out of the shelter.


    de turned to look at his master. "Master, what next?"


    Legs took a deep breath. "We track Clown".


    "I''m not sure of their ns, we need to know their ns so we can inform the stronger powers of it to n countermeasures ahead of time".


    Legs clenched his fists. ''I''ve never been frustrated by myck of power like now''.


    ''If I was already a Grade C Summoner, I would literally just go after them''.


    He sighed then he led his student after the enemies in pursuit stealthily.

 Chapter 235 Attacking The Royal Palace

    "What?" King Tom''s roar reverberated through the throne room.


    The new Hand of the King shuddered as he lowered his head.


    "What did you just say?" King Tom inquired again with a fiery gaze.


    "Your Majesty, the headquarters of the Pugilist Academy has fallen".


    "W-what?" This time, King Tom stuttered.


    His confidence and arrogance that had been an essential part of his reign as King could no longer be detected from him, only shock and fear dominated now.


    He stared at his new Hand with shock still evident on his face.


    King Tom hated the Grade C superhumans because they were individuals that were too powerful for their own good, and he felt that their power inted their ego, making them think they were bigger than the King.


    He vehemently opposed them because he wanted to restrict their power.


    He remained stubborn against their pleas because he wanted to continually affirm before them that he was the King, that he was the one in charge.


    Despite all his shenanigans, he still had an instinctive fear of these individuals. Every single one of them had the power to obliterate him with a single breath, this was more than enough for him to respect and fear them.


    The most notorious of them all was Jon Stones.


    Since when he was an innocent 5-year old boy, King Tom had heard of the myth of this Pugilist Legend. Jon Stones'' exploits were too numerous to count.


    This legend continually redefined the limits of what was possible to an individual, he was the trailzer to all other Grade C superhumans in the.


    He still remembered vividly when his own father told him about his grandfather, King Rnd. He could never forget it when his father told him of how King Rnd also hated Jon Stones and went up against him.


    He still vividly remembered how the story ended, it felt like a movie to him.


    His Grandfather, the King and Sovereign of Darvis had to bow his head to another individual. After the oue of the assassination attempt, Jon Stones sent Core Protector Shanks to go inform King Rnd of the oue.


    After receiving the news, King Rnd was humbled.


    This mighty King stepped down from his throne because of a single warrior, allowing his son to take over to prevent the ire of this single warrior.


    It was since he heard this story that Tom''s fear and respect for Jon Stones increased, but it increased more than that, it also increased his hate for this warrior.


    This became the main reason why King Tom hated Grade C Superhumans.


    Despite his hate, he still respected them, he never expected Jon Stones to die, he didn''t even believe that a warrior as powerful as Jon Stones could die.


    "W-what did you just say?"


    "What do you m-mean?"


    He kept on stuttering in disbelief as his new Hand kept his head bowed.


    He finally asked. "Who did it?"


    His new Hand struggled to answer. "¡­The Clown Society".


    Crack!


    King Tom felt like his brain just cracked in twain, he deted.


    "The Clown Society¡­" He muttered.


    shbacks of the meeting that he had with the Grade C Superhumans and leaders of the more than 6 months ago shed back in his head.


    They argued with him to curb the terrorists then when they were still in their infant stage, but to spite them and establish his authority, he remained stubborn like a spoilt brat and argued on the excuse of his father''s mourning.


    "S-since when did this happen?" He stuttered again as he asked.


    "Approximately 15 minutes ago".


    King Tom shuddered as he looked outside. "What have I done?"


    Just a few seconds after he spoke¡­


    "Abaddon Specialty: Fist of Destruction!"


    BOOM!<novelnext></novelnext>


    After taking his time, ck Master Abaddon finally arrived.


    King Tom shuddered on his throne chair as he messed up himself just from the mighty sound that reverberated like those of a thousand rumbling thunder.


    ck Master Abaddon had no intentions of making it a small affair, he wanted to blow up this affair as much as possible. This was why he went in through the front gate, his fist tore the massive gate of the royal pce apart.


    The royal guards were caught off-guard as dozens of them died from the attack, before they could attack, ck Master Abaddon attacked again.


    "Special Pugilist Ability: Shockwave Burst!"


    "Abaddon Specialty: 3 Doom Burst!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    This ck Master''s incredible attack tore more holes in the royal pce.


    Dozens of royal guards died to his incredible attack, finally opening enough space for his followers to join him as they stormed into this pce.


    Shockingly, only 10 warriors followed ck Master Abaddon for this attack.


    Though all 10 were Red Masters, this was still a small force.


    On seeing their opponents, though they were startled at first, the royal guards soon mobilized. Though their Commander was sent out by the King on a useless mission, they remained faithful as the serving Captains tookmand.


    Gigantic energy shields were erected as they formed a defensive perimeter.


    These defensive perimeters were not going tost against a Grade C superhuman. With his incredible power, ck Master Abaddon tore through them.


    The royal guards didn''t erect the shields to protect the pce though, they erected them to buy more than enough time for the King Protectors to arrive.


    Inside the throne room, at both sides of the throne were 2 doppelgangers.


    These were the doppelgangers of the 2 sworn protectors of the King.


    As soon as themotion started in the royal pce, the 2 sworn King Protectors saw it through the eyes of the doppelgangers. Using the signals in the doppelgangers as a navigator, both King Protectors teleported to the pce.


    Bzzz! Bzzz!


    The first arrived through a green teleportation portal.


    Diana, the Wood Warrior arrived first. This powerful Water Elementalist who specialized in wood life teleported in as her green hair waved to the wind.


    Following behind her was Magna, the Light Summoner.


    A white teleportation portal opened through which this Summoner and his gigantic White Mutated Dove flew through to the royal pce.


    In the air, their powerful Grade C energy expanded like a raging flood.


    The morale of the royal guards increased as they roared.


    ck Master Abaddon showed no signs of despair though as he faced these 2 powerful Grade C powerhouses, he ignored them and focused on nting a signal that emitted a great amount of frost energy.


    As soon as he nted the signal, he pushed his Pugilist energy in.


    With a slight humming sound, the signal was activated.


    Far away in the deepest and darkest regions of the North, a powerful existence detected the signal. This powerful existence moved.


    A pitch-ck teleportation portal that looked like it came directly from the abyss appeared the next moment, and from inside it emitted a sinister energy.


    A sinister, cold, and extremely menacing undead energy.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    The shriek and roar of a Dragon reverberated.


    The bony legs of this Dragon stepped through first, then the mighty sinister energy intensified as it swept everywhere like a gue.


    Boom!

 Chapter 236 The Might Of The Necromancy King!

    BOOM!


    As soon as this sinister existence stepped through the pitch-ck teleportation portal, it was like death itself stepped through the portal.


    The energy eruption was so powerful that for a few seconds, every existence in the royal pce at this moment were blinded from seeing the existence.


    After 3 seconds, the powerful and sinister energy died down.


    With narrowed eyes, every warrior here looked at the sky where he hovered.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    The mighty Bone Dragon roared loudly again.


    This was the skeleton corpse of a once mighty Ancient Dragon. Transformed by the incredible undead powers of necromancy, this powerful Dragon came back to life as a Bone Dragon and gained affinity over the frost element.


    Riding on its back was an even more powerful existence.


    Daemon was no longer the Skull Necromancer, that was a title that he used when he was still a Grade D superhuman looking to jumping to the Grade C realm.


    Now, he was the Necromancy King!


    They looked at him in the sky as fear and dread filled their hearts.


    Unlike his previous body, he had even more changes now. After bing a Grade C Necromancer, his body transformed into that of a Lich.


    Daemon apart from now having a skeleton body retained the properties of his head, his skull was intact and it still burned with the cold green mes.


    Seeing this existence in the sky, Magna gasped, he was the only one who recognized it. This Summoner was the oldest superhuman in this gathering of powerhouses, and he once witnessed the old Necromancer.


    His eyes widened. "The Necromancy King!"


    The others never heard of the Necromancy King, but the dread in this old man''s voice and the energy being emitted by this skeleton told them a lot.


    Daemon did not keep them waiting, he had clear orders from his old friend.


    "Today, there shall be no more royal pce".


    "The royal family shall be dissolved".


    Instantly after saying this, the green mes in his skull burned brighter. As the yellow glow in his eyes also intensified, he finally spoke.


    "Necromancy Ability: Underworld Teleportation!"


    "Special Necromancy Ability: Undead Army Teleportation!"


    "Special Necromancy Ability: Undead Spirits Summoning!"


    BOOM!


    As soon as Daemon finished speaking, his powerful undead energy exploded again even as 3 gigantic pitch-ck teleportation portals appeared behind him.


    Unlike the previous one, these teleportation portals were transparent.


    At the other end, the royal guards of the Darvis Royal family saw an army of undead skeletons. Skeleton warriors, skeleton archers, skeleton hunters, skeleton knights, even skeleton Giants, they waited in their abundant numbers.


    As soon as their King summoned them, these skeletons charged towards the 3 gigantic pitch-ck teleportation portals that were opened before them.


    Bzzz! Bzzz! Bzzz!


    An army of skeletons invaded the pce of the Darvis Royal family.


    As soon as these skeletons appeared and the teleportation portals closed again, a mighty power seemed to descend on this pce as 2 nes seemed to be forcefully acted on by a strange power to align together.


    "Shriek!"


    "Shriek!"


    "Shriek!!!"


    The loud shrieks of sinister undead Spirits reverberated the next moment.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Under the Necromancy King''s maniption, thousands of undead Spirits charged out of the Underworld. Without even waiting for the orders of their King, these spirits went ahead and charged at the royal guards.


    The army of skeletons followed the lead of the undead spirits.


    "Shriek¡­!!!"


    BOOM!


    The skeletons dealt physical damage as for the undead spirits, they simply phased through the royal guards as they corrupted them, dealing curse effects and debuffs on them that instantly destabilized the formation of the royal guards.


    It took only a few milliseconds for casualties to start appearing.


    Levitating in the skies, Magna and Diana were stunned.


    Despite being stunned, Magna was able to react faster as he dived down on his gigantic Light Mutated Dove the next moment. One of the main reasons that enabled Magna to survive the old Necromancer was because of his light affinity.


    Light and fire were the most lethal weapons against undead monsters.


    The Dove spat out a gigantic white beam that spread light energy everywhere. The skeletons and undead spirits shrieked as they were affected.


    Magna used this time to arrive before the royal guards.


    "Stand your ground!"


    "Do not be scared, they may look hedious but they also have weaknesses!"


    "Their main weakness is fire and light energy".


    "Those with fire and light energye to the front to face them".


    "Keep a cool head and we will sessfully protect our King ande out of this confrontation with a victory".


    Up in the skies, Daemon looked at the pathetic attempts of this Summoner trying to organize the royal warriors against him in amusement.


    The next moment, he opened his skull and cackled maniacally inughter.


    "All men shall die!"


    "Morte!" He ordered in Ancient Darvis.


    Like they were suddenly injected with steroids, all the undead skeletons and undead spirits reacted with much more energy as they attacked aggressively.


    Daemon himself no longer stayed idle, he called his new Named skeletons.


    His now had 4 new Named undead monsters. Apart from a Skeleton Knight that was far more gigantic than his old one, he also had a Skeleton Archer, a gigantic Skeleton Giant, and the Bone Dragon whom he also Named.


    As soon as he gave the order in Ancient Darvis, the 4 Named Skeleton Monsters were also affected as alongside him, they dived down towards the army of royal guards and their 2 champions that tried to fight them.


    As the Necromancer moved, ck Master Abaddon no longer remained idle.


    Alongside his 10 warriors, he charged forward towards the enemies.


    Magna and Diana had solemn looks on their faces as they looked at their enemies, neither of these 2 Grade C powerhouses dared to hold back.


    Diana went all out.


    "Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Great Forest of Doom!"


    "Summoner Ability: Beast ne Summoning!"


    "Special Summoner Ability: Beast Integration!"


    Magna called all his remaining beasts, they came with power as their powerful energy erupted into the surroundings.


    BOOM!


    The war was on!

 Chapter 237 Battle To Protect The King! [1]

    "Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Great Forest of Doom!"


    As Daemon, his Bone Dragon, his Named Skeletons, and his army of undead skeletons and undead spirits charged towards the royal guards, Diana aroused her special bloodline as she made use of her abilities first.


    BOOM!


    Instantly after she activated her ability, the ground tore open.


    While activating this ability, Diana spread her hands outwards as invisible seeds were spread and nted into the soil.


    Once she roused her water Elemental affinity to fertilize the seeds, they germinated as they rapidly sprouted out of the ground.


    Roots spread through the ground as gigantic tree trunks dug out of the ground, terraforming the once majestic royal pce into a Great Forest.


    The gigantic trees were not ordinary trees though, as soon as they sprouted out of the ground, Diana''s eyes started glowing in a bright white color.


    Diana''s connections to these trees was established.


    The trees became her arms, her legs, and her eyes, she could do everything through the trees. The trees were now her swords, so also were they her shield.


    While the army of undead skeletons charged towards them, Diana finally exerted her control as the gigantic trees danced to her tune.


    Some of the trees converged to hide and protect her body in the middle.


    As for the rest, they seemed to develop consciousnesses of their own.


    Under Diana''smand, theyshed out at the undead skeletons.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Undead skeletons were smashed apart by the rampaging tree trunks and branches no matter how small or big they were as they could not breach through.


    Diana was not the only one fighting though.


    "Summoner Ability: Beast ne Summoning!"


    "Special Summoner Ability: Beast Integration!"


    Bzzz!


    As soon as the rainbow bridge opened, 3 new beasts arrived from the beast ne, a massive Iron-Horned Rhino, a Soul Vulture, and a Mutated Cheetah.


    The Light Summoner was not to be trifled with.


    As soon as all 3 beasts arrived, on top his White Mutated Dove, Magna ordered the Dove as this beast levitated into the skies. The Soul Vulture also levitated into the skies as its predatory eyes red at the undead skeletons.


    "Special Summoner Ability: Light Augmentation!"


    As soon as Magna activated this ability, with his legs on top the Mutated Dove''s back, an energy was transmitted into it as it folded its wings instantly.


    The next moment, when the White Mutated Dove opened its gigantic wings, a white energy erupted with it that spread towards the remaining 3 beasts.


    Bzzz!


    As soon as the energy invaded them, they all started glowing white.


    All Magna''s beasts received his light augmentation that not only granted all of them light affinity, but also improved all their base stats with other bonuses.


    All 3 beasts gained innate abilities that were rted to the light element.


    Instantly, all 3 beasts entered a calm but battle-ready state.


    "Attack!"


    On the skies, Magna finally gave the orders.


    None of the beasts hesitated, as the Soul Vulture swooped down from the skies like a jet, the Cheetah exploded forward with incredible speed, bing one with the wind even as the Rhino charged towards the skeletons momentously.


    The charge barely started when ck Master Daemon felt something.


    Whoosh!


    From the corner of his eyes, this ck Master saw the white glowing Cheetah that sprinted in the air towards him. The Cheetah''s speed at this moment was so much that it also ran through the air at a ridiculous speed.


    It arrived beside the Necromancy King instantly, but before it could attack, the over-protective Bone Dragon acted as it''s bony structure briefly shook.


    Instantly, a shield formed by a thick ck mist materialized around it.


    Boom!


    A loud sound reverberated the next moment as the Mutated Cheetah collided against it. It didn''t stop there, fire ignited from the Cheetah''s skin as it burned at the ck mist but it was unable to incinerate it.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    The Bone Dragon finally roared as it went on the attack.


    Its gigantic bony head inclined as it tried to bite the Cheetah, but this was when another beast arrived. The Rhino''s grunt reverberated like a Giant''s growl.


    Following the grunt was a massiveser beam that was shot from the Rhino''s horn, Daemon was forced to work this time as he flicked his Necromancy staff.


    "Necromancy Ability: Pir of Bones!"


    A pir of bones rose up just before the red-hotser beam hit.


    BOOM!


    The collision set off a wave of explosive sounds around the Bone Dragon who now struggled to keep its flight in the air, this was when the Soul Vulture attacked.


    "Screech¡­!!!"


    As soon as this gigantic Vulture shrieked, every beast felt their soul shiver.


    The next moment, an invisible wave of soul power spread towards the Gigantic Bone Dragon and it''s rider.


    The Bone Dragon was shaken as the glow of its eyes briefly went off, even Daemon was affected as the green mes burning in his skull flickered before burning with a lesser intensity.


    The Bone Dragon recovered its glow but it struggled to keep flight.<novelnext></novelnext>


    As this mighty Bone Dragon fell, the Mutated Cheetah and the Soul Vulture harassed it in the air even as the Iron-Horned Rhino shot moresers from below.


    As for the Dove, it kept on spreading its purifying white light.


    ck Master Daemon and his Bone Dragon seemed to have been contained but this onlysted a little while. The power of the Necromancer made his enemies forget that he was not the only one, there was another ck Master.


    "Abaddon Specialty: Roaring Tiger Fist!"


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The explosive sound didn''t reverberate just once, it reverberated multiple times as Abaddon''s fist sent shockwave ripples through the airspace that injured the Mutated Cheetah while sending the Soul Vulture far away into the skies.


    That was not all, the Named Skeletons proved their mettle.


    Having kept her aim since, the Named Skeleton Archer finally released the arrow. With a loud whooshing sound, the arrow moved through the air with venom.


    With incredible velocity, it mmed into the Soul Vulture''s hide.


    Bam!


    Speed was not a main strength of Soul Vultures, neither was vitality and endurance, this Soul Vulture shrieked loudly in pain as it bled green blood.


    Its flight became staggered and disorderly.


    Daemon''s Named Skeleton Knight charged ahead straight at the Light Summoner and his White Mutated Dove, these 2 were the real fulcrums of this battle that kept the Summoner''s other beasts fighting at 120% effectiveness.


    While the Named Skeleton Knight charged ahead on its ming Hell Horse, the 2nd strongest of the Named Skeletons, the Skeleton Giant had another idea.


    "Screech¡­!!!"


    This Skeleton Giant shrieked loudly as it leaped into the air.


    Its gigantic size enabled it to propel itself high enough for it to grab the Soul Vulture, this Skeleton Giant''s intentions were clear, it intended to kill the Vulture.


    The Light Summoner was stunned as he rapidly ordered the Vulture to escape, but the Vulture was not famed for its speed.


    As for the Mutated Cheetah and the others, they were upied by ck Master Abaddon and the Named Skeleton Archer.


    The Skeleton Giant''s eyes gleamed as it came close to catching the Vulture.


    Just before it could catch it, something happened¡­


    Whoosh!


    Like they had consciousness of their own, the gigantic tree trunks of the grown Great Forestunched into the skies like missiles after the Skeleton Giant.


    Just before it could grab the Vulture, the gigantic tree trunks grabbed it.


    The tree trunks tightened around this gigantic and powerful Skeleton as they dragged it down the next moment, the Skeleton Giant fell with a loud sound.


    This tiny distraction to contain the Skeleton Giant disrupted Diana, the Wood Warrior as with one p of its gigantic bony wings, the Bone Dragon took Daemon into the center of the pce. This was the prime location to wreak havoc.


    ck Master Daemon''s eyes gleamed as he ordered in Ancient Darvis.


    "Brina!"


    The Bone Dragon responded instantly.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    As soon as this mighty Dragon roared and opened its mouth, from inside it came an extremely concentrated breath of frost energy.


    For a moment, it felt like winter itself became a living entity.


    The Darvis royal pce turned into a frost kingdom in no time.


    This mighty Bone Dragon''s frost breath changed everything, in an instant, all the undead skeletons and spirits entered their element while the royal guards were caught off-guard by the sudden cold.


    The momentum and direction of this battle changed instantly.


    With ck Master Daemon and his Bone Dragon dominating from the skies, the Soul Vulture and the White Mutated Dove could do very little.


    And with ck Master Abaddon and the other Named Skeletons leading the undead army from below, the Darvis royal pce guards stood no chance.


    They tore their way deeper into the royal pce spreading only destruction.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The sound was like exploding dominoes as the war raged for minutes.


    After over a dozen minutes of battle, there was another dangerous attack run and after another well-timed arrow shot from the lethal Named Skeleton Archer, the Soul Vulture shrieked onest time as it was shot from the air.


    The Light Summoner felt like a part of his soul was just torn apart.


    With the death of one of his contracted beasts, this Summoner was affected.


    Not just him, the whole battlefield was affected as the tides tilted even more in the favor of the undead army. The situation turned more precarious.


    As they pushed deeper, running out of options, Diana revealed her trump card as the green glow in this female warrior''s eyes intensified.


    "Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Forest Bloom!"


    "Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Forest Consciousness!"


    "Diana Specialty: 3 Wood Dragons!"


    The transformation was fast and unique, then all 3 roared.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"

 Chapter 238 Battle To Protect The King! [2]

    "Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Forest Bloom!"


    "Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Forest Consciousness!"


    "Diana Specialty: 3 Wood Dragons!"


    As soon as Diana muttered the words, her Elementalist energy was sapped by the 2 energy-hungrybination abilities as she visibly became weaker.


    It didn''t matter though since she already formed the foundation for what came next. Instantly after the first ability was activated, it instantly felt like all the gigantic trees in the Great Forest were injected by a batch of fertilizers.


    Their size, their texture, their strength, everything increased crazily.


    Even as they increased and improved at apletely crazy speed, the next ability triggered. Unlike before when Diana was the one controlling the whole forest, this time, a consciousness was born inside the forest.


    This consciousness was young and immature, like a newborn baby.


    It didn''t need to stay alone cluelessly nor go through the long process of growth though because the next moment, Diana''sst ability activated.


    The first 2 were Special abilities of the Wood Elementalist line that were avable to all Wood Elementalists, but as for thest ability, this was an ability that she created exclusively after deepening her understanding to the limit.


    After centuries of studying and deepening her understanding of the Water Element to the limit which rippled into her more advanced Wood Element, she was able to harness the natural life in water to create real lifeforms.


    Instantly after the third ability was activated, the Great Forest moved.


    All the gigantic tree trunks moved rapidly as they startedbining. In less than a second, the gigantic forestbined to form 3 monstrosities.


    3 wooden monstrosities that were shaped in the form of Dragons formed.


    The culmination of Diana''s centuries of research and growth and studying the limits of her powers was her ability to create 3 literal Wood Dragons.


    The Forest Consciousness that she induced divided into 3 consciousnesses, each for a Dragon and when this happened was when Diana induced growth.


    In the transformation process, she touched the 3 Wood Dragons.


    "Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Photosynthesis!"


    "Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Rapid Growth!"


    Instantly, the glow of the sun that shone from the skies concentrated on all 3 Wood Dragons. Not only did their wooden body be more pronounced andpact, but the consciousness of these Dragons grew fast and matured.


    With brown eyes reflecting old age, deep wisdom, and experience, these 3 gigantic Wood Dragons looked around at the battlefield and the destruction.


    Most especially they looked at the rampaging Bone Dragon.


    As they looked, one of them suddenly moved, the biggest of all 3. This mighty Wood Dragon took a step as it opened its mouth and breath at the Bone Dragon.


    From its mouth didn''te fire neither did ite frost, but poison came.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    The Wood Dragon''s mighty roar and poison breath wreaked destruction.


    The Bone Dragon could not withstand it, arge part of it''s left bony body literally turned into jelly after being corroded by the lethal poison.


    Instantly after the biggest Wood Dragon moved, the others moved.


    "ROAR!"


    "ROAR!"


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Their roars of anger and defiance reverberated like thunder.


    Despite being in an extremely weak state after this brief stunt, Diana did not show regret or any weakness on her face, she rather grinned.


    This was her trump card, this was her masterpiece.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "My children, cause destruction".


    "Since they like chaos so much, show them chaos!"


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    The 3 Wood Dragons became nightmares on this battlefield.


    Their poison breath vaporized and corroded entire swats of skeletons from the skeleton army during each attack. Their gigantic wooden forms stomped through the undead army like they were mere chickens on the ughter house.


    Despite theirck of wings to fly, they didn''t miss it much since their sheer size, strength, endurance, and poison breath made up for it.


    They stampeded their way through the undead army.


    After losing one of his contracted beasts, the Light Summoner''s resolve was affected but after seeing the stunt from his opponent, he was reinvigorated.


    With eyes burning with fury and a yearning for revenge, this powerful Summoner rode his White Mutated Dove into battle alongside the other 2.


    The battle to protect the King raged in earnest!


    Both sides gave their all as destruction spread everywhere.


    Despite the fact that no clear winner appeared yet, the one element that suffered from so much destruction was the royal pce.


    At this moment, this no longer resembled a royal pce but instead resembled a wilderness that was turned into a battlefield, that was how much destruction was already being wrath.


    Despite the incredible power of the 3 Wood Dragons, the ck Masters of the Clown Society determined a weakness, the already weakened Elementalist.


    After creating the 3 Wood Dragons, Diana became totally spent.


    Despite the dangers that were involved, the 2 ck Masters changed their strategy to targeting this female warrior.


    And despite her yearning to keep herself safe, Diana could not and the Wood Dragons didn''t feel an instinct to protect her either which left her vulnerable to the enemy attacks.


    After an incrediblebo between ck Master Abaddon and Daemon''s Named Skeletons while Daemon and his Bone Dragon tackled with the Wood Dragons, Diana was finally put in a life-threatening situation.


    The Named Skeleton Knight''s sword descended like heaven''s decree.


    The Wood Elementalist was already cornered, she could not escape.


    Going left would expose her to Abaddon''s destructive fists, going right or jumping up would expose her to the Named Skeleton Archer''s attacks, other enemies covered her other options, she was cornered.


    This female Elementalist''s eyes flickered in desperation and unwillingness.


    At thest moment before the sword fully descended, a sh of orange and ck mixed with a white glow briefly appeared then the sword finally hit.


    Bam!


    The sword struck through, blood flowed like a fountain.


    The only difference was that it was not Diana''s blood that flowed, what flowed was the blood of the Mutated Cheetah who following the orders of his master rushed into the scene to protect hispanion.


    Diana''s eyes widened as life slowly drained out of the Cheetah''s eyes.


    Magna''s eyes constricted as blood flowed from them after another of his contracted beast died, his soul literally felt like it was shed in half.


    This powerful Summoner coughed blood as grief gripped his heart.


    With stunned eyes, he stared at the cold corpse of the Mutated Cheetah.


    He screamed in his heart.

 Chapter 239 Battle To Protect The King! [3]

    Like he was dreaming, Magna saw a memory sh before him¡­


    2 centuries ago, it was a hot afternoon in the beast ne after he became a Grade D Summoner as he went in search for his 3rd contracted beast.


    Coming to the beast ne, his main n and target was to get a Wolf, preferably a Wind Wolf. Since he already got the extremely rare White Mutated Dove and the heavy Iron-Horned Rhino, he felt that he needed a swift beast.


    With a Wind Wolf, literally all his shorings would be addressed.


    Speed, defense, support, attack, he would then excel at all these.


    Things didn''t always go ording to n though. That day, he met a Wolf but it was not a Wind Wolf, it was a ck Wolf that fought with another beast.


    This other beast attracted his curiosity, it still felt like yesterday.


    ''A Mutated Cheetah!"


    Hyped and excited by the discovery, Magna went all in to get this beast. After severely injuring the ck Wolf, the Mutated Cheetah escaped not only because it was injured but because it already felt the presence of the human.


    Magna was stunned at the Cheetah''s perception but he went after it.


    He lost the Cheetah but making use of every single detail that he learned, he was able to track the beast for a full day till he saw it licking it''s wounds in an open cave in the night. Magna prepared himself before engaging the beast.


    Of course, like everyone of his beasts, Pi was stubborn.


    The Cheetah gave him a tough time till he finally subdued it, even after contracting it and giving it the name Pi, Pi remained stubborn.


    "Filthy human, I''ll never be your loyal dog".


    "You canmand me but you can never get my loyalty".


    Magnaughed. "Hehe¡­, you don''t know me".


    "My charisma would change your perspective in no time".


    So, there started the journey of Pi and Magna the Light Summoner.


    Together and alongside the other beasts, they won battle after battle, umted feat after feat till they became legends. And like Magna said, Pi soon forgot that he was once a stubborn Cheetah who refused to submit to him.


    Pi was one of his favorite beasts.


    Everything went ording to n, Magna fulfilled his dream, he became a Royal King Protector, but today, everything was now spiraling away.


    All the fond memories were now turning into a past history.


    Crack!


    Like it was a mirror, the illusion of the past cracked before him.


    Magna teared up as he stared at the corpse of the Mutated Cheetah.


    "AHHHH¡­!!!" This Grade C warrior roared in frustration.


    Whoosh!


    The White Mutated Dove dodged another shot from the Named Skeleton Archer, Magna was already so frustrated that he could barely think straight.


    "Focus, we need you to win this battle!" Diana yelled.


    For the first time, he ignored hispanion in this battle.


    Magna no longer cared about her, he no longer cared about anybody after losing Pi. In his downcast state, Daemon took advantage of it.


    Hepletely understood how Magna felt, he was once a Summoner. Not just any Summoner but one who at some point in his life lost all his contracted beasts and had to find entirely new ones.


    "Do it!" Daemon confidently instigated.


    "There''s no pride in being a so-called Royal King Protector".


    "At least, there was pride in it before but not when King Tom sits on the throne. Sacrificing your beloved children for that spoilt King is not worth it".


    "Do it!"


    Daemon correctly grasped at his heart.


    Like the Necromancer said, Magna indeed saw all his beasts as his children.


    With blood-shot eyes, Magna looked at the raging battlefield, the powerful Wood Dragons, the pleading eyes of Diana, Pi''s cold corpse, then he snorted.


    "F*ck the King!"


    He transmitted orders to hisst 2 surviving beasts.


    The White Mutated Dove opened a teleportation portal through which they all jumped into, in an instant, the Light Summoner was gone.


    "¡­"


    Diana suddenly felt like she was stuck in a nightmare.


    With the Light Summoner gone, the enemies became much freer.


    ck Master Daemon confidently spoke. "I already figured out their weakness, the Wood Dragons are powerful and fast but have almost zero agility".


    "Their straight-line speed and eleration is great but their agility is sh*t".


    "Abaddon, you''re the Pugilist".


    "I''ll upy them while you go target their joints".


    ck Master Abaddon obeyed as his eyes gleamed sharply.


    Just a minuteter¡­


    "Abaddon Specialty: Fist of Destruction!"


    BOOM!


    A vicious punch to a vital joint spelled the end for this Wood Dragon, like a paper Dragon, this gigantic monster copsed from inside as it crumbled into ordinary wood trunks and branches.


    With the first one down, defeating the other 2 became easier.


    They fell in quick session.


    Diana was lost for words and means.


    They didn''t kill this weak Grade C Elementalist immediately though, they ignored her and wreaked more havoc as they went deeper after the King.


    They had no fear that King Tom would escape, everything was nned.


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    The Light Summoner appeared out of the teleportation portal with his 2 beasts, he teleported inside the pce where the royal family lived.<novelnext></novelnext>


    At first, after losing Pi, this grieving Summoner intended to just leave but he remembered the vow that he swore when he became a King Protector.


    He was ok with abandoning the spoilt King but definitely not the royal family, most of them were innocent, they had no hands in Tom''s cowardliness and madness. This was why he came back to save them.


    On seeing him, the royals exhibited different reactions.


    "Why did you run?"


    "Why did you abandon your King?"


    "Youmitted treason!"


    "You will die for this!"


    The King Tom supporters barely started speaking when this powerful Summoner showed a side of him that they had never seen before.


    "SHUP UP!!!"


    Magna''s thunderous voice reverberated through their eardrums, all of them cowered, none of them dared speak before this Summoner anymore.


    Magna red at them. "Now, listen to me".


    "If you know you''re in support of King Tom, you can stay behind".


    "As for those who want to preserve the line of the royal family, make your decision now and follow me".


    "You have only 10 seconds to make your decision".


    The White Mutated Dove opened more teleportation portals.


    "How dare you¡­!"


    Boom!


    To the shock of all the royals, the Iron-Horned Rhino attacked. The supporter of the King who tried to speak did not live to see the next minute as the powerfulser from the Rhino''s hornspletely vaporized him.


    Magna red at all of them, they shuddered.


    All of them made their choice as the majority of them charged in, the others remained stubborn but when Magna turned to leave, their resolve shook as they all rushed in before the teleportation portal could close.


    Bzzz!


    Magna left with the royal family.


    ¡­


    King Tom shook so much on his throne that he seemed to have gotten Dementia, his hands shook so unsteadily like he was stuck in a thousand-year old cier with no hopes of escaping.


    He looked at his new Hand who looked down on noticing his stare.


    "T-the tunnel?" He stuttered.


    "I''m sorry my King, the secret tunnel has been blocked by psychopaths".


    This was the umpteenth time of his asking but King Tom still shuddered every time at the answer. The Clown Society nned today thoroughly, they researched thoroughly, they left King Tom no way to escape.


    They tormented him by letting him witness everything.


    Receiving reports that Grade C beasts died protecting him, this King already messed himself up more than thrice but he never felt them.


    The throne chair already turned into a throne of piss and sh*t.


    King Tom looked down at his shaking hands, he tried to chuckle but he could not. All his arrogance and self-conceitedness were nowhere to be seen, all he wished for now was for a miracle to happen so he could survive this day.


    "Daddy¡­" He secretly called to his dead father.


    The King consort who gathered with him in the throne room were already getting fed up with his embarrassing reactions, this crowned it all.


    They were also scared but they never exhibited such reactions.


    The Master of Coins stood up and red at the King. "I can''t stand this any longer, I will leave with my family and fight for our safety ourselves!"


    All eyes turned to the King but King Tom exhibited no reaction.


    As this continued for over a minute, the Master of Coins shook his head bitterly.


    "You''re a coward!"


    "I was a fool to think you had what it took to lead us".


    The Master of Coins became the first to leave the throne room but he was not thest, though the others didn''t confront the King so boldly, they all stood up at various intervals and left the throne room.


    In no time, only King Tom and his newly appointed Hand remained.


    King Tom looked at this man. "D-do you believe in me?"


    This man shuddered on being asked this question.


    He dared not answer, he turned around and swiftly scurried away out of the throne room. The throne room suddenly became still, it felt so cold and silent, King Tom was now alone.


    He looked at all the chairs, he looked at where he sat at the pinnacle of authority over Darvis for over a year, he chuckled then he cried.


    Amid his tears, the door to the throne room was finally torn open.


    BOOM!


    ck Master Abaddon walked inside.


    The ceiling was razed to the ground as the Bone Dragon alsonded in the throne room. After a mighty battle, all Wood Dragons were finally dead.


    At this moment, the Bone Dragon was a mere picture of its previous majestic self after suffering serious injuries against the Wood Dragons.


    ck Master Daemon stared at the King.


    ck Master Abaddon didn''t make itplicated, neither did he speak to the coward, he directly walked to the cowardly King and grabbed him by the head with his massive arm. He slowly raised the King up and looked at him.


    "Anyst words?"


    King Tom closed his eyes as he messed himself up again while shivering.


    ck Master Abaddon had a cold poker look on his face, the next moment, he applied pressure on his hand and a normal human could not withstand it.


    Pop!


    King Tom''s head burst like a balloon.


    After a reign of 1 year, King Tom died.

 Chapter 240 The Order Of Chaos

    Patrick was a Grade F Elementalist who worked as a mercenary.


    As one of the many grunt Grade F mercenaries of the Mercenary Online Organization, he made a living by taking on differentmon mercenary missions.


    All his missions were taken in and around the Pakton Shelter.


    Through the money that he got from his missions, he took care of his family, his beautiful wife and his 3 little daughters. Like most other ordinary superhumans at the bottom of thedder like him, he was satisfied with his life.


    Since he didn''t have the talent to be stronger, he was content and didn''t have much ambitions apart from taking care of his family.


    He aimed to save enough money in preparation for his retirement so that after retirement, he could settle down and spend the rest of his life with his family.


    Life was not always so straightforward though, today proved it.


    The rumors swept everywhere like an unstoppable gue, when he heard that the Clown Society became more high-profile all of a sudden and struck, leading to the fall of the indomitable Pugilist Academy, he didn''t believe it at first.


    It was when the chaos came in full that he was forced to believe it.


    Everything happened so nned and chronologically that he was horrified, everything unfolded in such a manner that it felt directly out of a script.


    The familiar shelter where he grew up became alien to him all of a sudden. Gangsing out of their shitholes to fight and cause chaos, the killing, the theft, the robberies, all the vices turned Pakton Shelter into something else entirely.


    Despite the fact that the regional base of the Pugilist Academy was ttened, the Elementalist and Summoner Academies at least remained in power.


    With their incredible power, they managed to curb the chaos a bit but it did notst long, the 2nd rumors that came changed everythingpletely.


    "King Tom is dead?"


    Patrick was asking this question for the umpteenth time in thest few minutes, his disbelief was what everyone else who heard the news felt.


    The news of King Tom''s death hit with the impact of a meteorite.


    Today seemed determined to keep on sting them with mind-blowing news. Though none of them wanted to believe it, the reactions of the Elementalist and Summoner Academies more or less confirmed it.


    Also, the royal family would never allow such tant rumors if it was not the truth, Patrick felt like a bomb literally just exploded in his brain.


    Unlike hisrades though, he reacted faster.


    For a long time, the Clown Society preached about the order of chaos. Despite the order in it, Patrick knew what chaos meant, he had an idea of what would follow since Darvis as a whole was just plunged into chaos.


    Until a new King upied the throne, the would spiral out of control.


    Without hesitation, Patrick rushed home. On his way home, true chaos overwhelmed any sense of order in the Pakton Shelter, the vices were unleashed. Pakton Shelter seemed to turn into an ouw shelter.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Amid the explosions, Patrick got home to see his family huddled up inside. This man heaved a sigh of relieve as he urged them.


    "Fast! We''re leaving!"


    "Papa, what is happening?" His youngest girl questioned innocently.


    Patrick rushed towards his jewel as he hugged her affectionately before rubbing his hand on her hair. "Nothing sweetheart, but we need to leave".


    "The Governor¡­" Patrick wanted to lie to his daughter but he couldn''t arrive at anything good.


    He looked towards his wife for help who understood.


    "Rose,e on, the royal family ordered another evacuation drill to train us in the event of another monster tide in the future".


    "Oh!" Rose sounded visibly surprised.


    "Ok". Her reply was much more enthusiastic.


    With this little white lie, Patrick was able to organize his family in no time as they left. They barely left the house when a gigantic boulder descended,pletely ttening their apartment as their eyes widened.


    Patrick covered Rose''s eyes. "This way, follow me!"


    Patrick panicked but he forced himself to calm down as he led his family away. To keep his family safe, he was ready to stay brave as the man of the house.<novelnext></novelnext>


    All around him was utter chaos and crime.


    Those that had been hiding enmity for a long time used this opportunity to vent their frustrations. Since there was no more order, no government would hold them liable for murder in the future because of what they did.


    Patrick saw his neighbor murder another neighbor''s only 2 kids.


    "You piss of sh*t, your mistake killed my only son!" The middle-aged woman yelled hatefully.


    "Now we''re even!"


    "Ahhhh¡­!" The mother of the 2 kids literally went crazy as she looked down at the blood-stained bodies of her 2 kids.


    She lost all rationality as she grabbed the nearest heavy tool and charged at her neighbor, both neighbors shed as blood flowed.


    A minuteter, one of them was lying in a pool of her own blood while the other was left heavily injured, she would not survive.


    Patrick looked at another end only to see more chaos. A group of teenage boys cornered a beautiful young girl who seemed to have been separated from her family, without hesitation, these criminals stripped the girl.


    Out there in the open, they fulfilled their erotic fantasies as they r*ped the girl in broad-day light, Patrick covered Rose''s eyes.


    These were just the ones that he saw, amid the explosions, the screams, Patrick was sure that even more atrocities were beingmitted in the dark.


    He could no longer recognize his neighbors, this was true human nature.


    All that they needed was for order to disappear for the true natures of these humans to be disyed, humans were innately chaotic and destructive.


    "Hey, beautiful b*tch,e here!"


    A rough hand grabbed Patrick''s eldest daughter the next moment as this man''s eyes brazenly scrutinized the young but mature body of this girl.


    He grinned as he saw the 2 developed twin oranges at her front. "You''ll do just right".


    "Stop¡­!" Patrick''s wife yelled helplessly.


    On turning back to look, Patrick felt his blood run cold.


    Having witnessed it happen to other girls, the thought of his own daughter being r*aped turned a nut in his head. Patrick didn''t even think, he acted.


    "Elementalist Ability: Fire Needle!"


    Whoosh!


    The man could not stop it, the fiery needle directly stabbed through his head as blood flowed. The man staggered before falling down dead.


    Horror appeared in Patrick''s face as he realized what he just did.


    "I¡­, I killed a civilian¡­"


    His wifeforted him. "We need to leave".


    "Y-yes, we need to leave". Patrick stuttered as he held Rose tighter.


    Holding his daughter, he was able to set his priorities straight again as he led them out of the shelter. On the way, apart from witnessing more crime and chaos, he also had to kill 3 more civilians before he made his way out of the shelter.


    With blood-stained hands, Patrick turned back to look at the shelter.


    Pakton Shelter was already engulfed by fire.


    This Grade F Elementalist looked down at his shaking hands. "This¡­?"


    "Is this the order of chaos?"


    He asked but no one answered, the mes of the burning shelter answered him, this was the order of chaos.

 Chapter 241 Clowns Ambition

    "Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Wild Baobab Tree!"


    "Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Forest Bloom!"


    "Special Wood Elementalist Ability: Entanglement Attack!"


    Under Diana''s expert control, as soon as the Wild Baobab tree came to life, the Forest Bloom ability made the tree grow to a gigantic size as its branches formed a massive canopy, thest abilitypleted her preparations.


    Whoosh!


    The Entanglement Attack ability stimted the Wild Baobab.


    Under her control, the Wild treeshed out at the undead skeletons that surrounded it and tried to whittle its durability with numbers to get their target.


    Despite her King already dying, Diana did not abandon her duties to defend the royal pce. She remained stubborn and stuck to her vows as she gave her all to avenge the death of her King by killing the enemies.


    No matter how she tried though, she already lost the initiative.


    After the death of the 3 Wood Dragons, and since she was now too exhausted to create another one, ck Master Daemon and Abaddon had the freedom to do what they liked and these 2 ck Masters choose destruction.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Necromancy King''s powerful necromancy attacks wreaked havoc.


    In his new Lich form, Daemon was not only able to use the normal necromancy abilities, he could also cast some curse spells using his mana. Apart from that, he could also summon the undead spirits that fought on his behalf.


    Under his leadership, the remainder of the royal guards stood no chance.


    The undead spirits swept through this group of warriors with impunity.


    With the Light Summoner gone, Diana alone could not reinforce them since she was also preupied with 3 of Daemon''s Named Skeletons.


    This way, they could only be ughtered before the 2 Grade C powerhouses.


    While keeping herst stand valiantly, Diana finally gave some attention to watch the battlefield. All around her was blood and the corpse of the royal guards.


    Following her lead, they did not escape, they remained fighting for the throne. The only problem was that their fight no longer had meaning.


    With King Tom dead, their deaths no longer had meaning.


    Whoosh!


    Diana watched as a skeleton warrior beheaded a brave royal guard, she watched as another was devoured by a Skeleton Giant. The scene was gruesome, the screams of pain of the warriors as they died pricked her heart.


    Bam!


    Diana could no longer hold, herst defense shattered.


    Once the undead Skeletons shattered herst defense, her mana was also exhausted as she weakly copsed on the floor. The Skeletons did not kill her immiediately though, they kept her alive and guarded her.


    Diana had to watch as everyst one of the guards were ughtered.


    After the ughter, while ck Master Abaddon took care of searching the pce for any survivors, ck Master Daemon walked towards thisdy.


    Diana looked up at him with a defiant and disgusted look on her face.


    "Daemon¡­!" She stressed through gritted teeth.


    "Diana". The Necromancy King calmly looked down at her.


    "Will¡­"


    "Don''t even think about it!" Diana growled. "You can torture me from now till the end of the world, but I''ll never reveal anything about the royal family".


    Daemon smiled which to his skull face only looked like he silently cackled inughter. "I''ve known you for a long time, I''m not forcing you on anything, I rather have a proposal for you".


    This Necromancer''s eyes sharpened. "Join the Clown Society and survive".


    "¡­"


    Diana looked up at this Necromancer. "You know..., Daemon, I''m not like you".


    "To fulfill your obsession of also bing a Grade C powerhouse, you became a criminal, you killed a lot of people just to get to your goal".


    "In the end, you even forfeited your mortal self and became a skeleton".


    She scoffed in clear disdain. "I hope you''re finally happy".


    Her eyes also turned sharp as she looked at this warrior. "Kill me!"


    ck Master Daemon closed his glowing eyes like he was pained. "You know, I really loved you, I really wanted a happy future for the both of us".


    "Unfortunately, I was too weak".


    "You made your disdain for my strength clear every time we met, so you of all people¡­" His eyes opened with an even brighter glow than before. "You of all people have no right to condemn me for the path I took to get power!"


    "YOU CAN''T JUDGE ME!" His emotions exploded which reflected in his voice.


    "You made me like this! You have no right to judge me!"


    It took a lot of effort on his part for this Necromancer to calm down, once he did, he looked down at the beautiful female warrior.


    "Norman will decide your fate".


    Daemon raised a signal beacon that was simr to the one that ck Master Abaddon used to direct him here, then he directed his energy inside it.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Bzzz!


    As soon as the air shifted, a familiar existence stepped through it. Clown was not alone, ck Master Einstein and Din followed him here.


    As soon as he appeared, he looked at the current state of what was previously the Darvis royal pce, heughed in contentment.


    "Daemon, I knew I could rely on you".


    After patting the skeleton, he looked down at the prisoner.


    On feeling his gaze, aplicated look came over this warrior''s face. "Why?" She asked as her voice broke while tears welled in her eyes.


    "Hahaha¡­" Clownughed maniacally on seeing the look that was on his younger apprentice sister''s face.


    "You ask me why? You really f*cking ask me why?!"


    "Master is the reason!"


    "Master made me like this!" Clown roared as veins popped all over his neck.


    "Why won''t he allow me research on alien technology?"


    "He''s already a legend, why won''t he allow me be my own legend?!"


    "¡­"


    More tears flowed down this female warrior''s eyes the more Clown spoke, she interrupted him. "Master restricted you because he loved you!"


    "He restricted you from researching alien technology because he loved you!"


    "There are dangers rted to it and he didn''t want you toe in contact with them until he verified that they were safe to work with".


    She looked at her barely recognizable senior apprentice brother, she looked at the still fleshy side of his face. "He protected you from bing this".


    "Norman, master loved you".


    "Hahaha...!" Clownughed.


    "Hahaha¡­, he restricted me because he is selfish!"


    "He restricted me because he''s afraid of me exceeding him!"


    "He''s a conceited old bastard who only thinks of himself!"


    "He''s a coward who is afraid of his student exceeding him!"


    Diana''s tears were already flowing freely like a tap at this point, she stared at him. "You did all these to exceed and prove master wrong?"


    Clown''s maniacal face turned to look at her.


    "You killed so many people just to prove master wrong?"


    "Youmitted genocide just to spite him?" Her tone sounded disappointed and pained as more tears flowed.


    Clown gave her words no heed. "I''ll do more to prove him wrong!"


    "Chaos, randomization, instability, uncertainty, that''s the only true way to improve, I want to prove him wrong that his cautious and controlled approach is outdated".


    "Chaos is the only way to fully unleash the potentials of humanity!"


    He looked down at her again. "Make your decision now, join us or die".


    Diana wiped her tears. "I can''t join you".


    "Then you leave me no choice". Clown raised his Elementalist staff.


    "Wait¡­!" Diana looked at him. "I didn''t have the courage to tell you before you went rogue but¡­" She gathered her courage. "If I am to die today, I need to tell you something".


    She looked at him as she took onest deep breath. "I love you".


    Feeling her sincerity and how much this meant to her, Clown jerked a bit but he recovered just a few secondster, he sneered. "Love is weakness".


    "If you love me, it means you''re too weak to embrace chaos".


    "If I embrace love, I embrace weakness".


    Clown''s eyes gleamed. "I cannot embrace weakness".


    Diana closed her eyes as more tears flowed. "I still love you".


    "Doesn''t matter".


    Clown finally swiped his Elementalist staff down.


    Whoosh!


    The fire was precise, it incinerated this Elementalistpletely. Diana had no other energy to use anyplicated means, she waspletely incinerated.


    On this unforgettable day, another Grade C superhuman died.

    "Stay behind¡­, we can''t let them detect our traces".


    "I can keep myself hidden". de insisted.


    Legs turned to look at his student, the look in his eyes portrayed seriousness, he tried to convey the idea that no mistake could be made in this.


    "I am confident". de looked straight at his master.


    "My Pugilist powers have been improving with more increasing speed in recent weeks, I have developed more Pugilist abilities".


    "I have an ability that can hide my superhuman aura and another that can keep myself in a stealth state, I believe they won''t detect me".


    de sessfully convinced Legs with this, this was the reason why he let his student follow him when he tracked the 3 enemy Grade C powerhouses.


    Tracking arguably the 3 most powerful individuals of the Clown Society took a lot of guts from Legs''s part, but it was his belief in his own ability to stay hidden that persuaded him to carry out his crazy n.


    Keeping a safe distance, Legs sessfully tailed them for 5 minutes, then they suddenly disappeared.


    Bzzz!


    Legs''s incredible familiarity with it enabled him to detect the spatial fluctuations, his face turned grave again as he wondered what happened now.


    de became tense on noticing his master''s reaction. "What happened?"


    Legs did not reply immediately, he frowned as he went deep in thought.


    For the past 6 months, Legs had been mostly content and confident with his growth and the progression of the storyline until today.


    So many things were already happening today that they didn''t make sense to him, most of the things that happened today like Jon Stones dying didn''t happen in his previous world so he already lost confidence in his knowledge advantage.


    The rippling effect of his reincarnation were more than he thought.


    Most things were still the same, but the more important details about this world and the Clown Society were already being subject to change.


    His frown deepened. ''What is their n?''


    ''They already fell the Pugilist Academy and Jon Stones''.


    ''ording to Christensen, they also attacked and destroyed the Dragon tower, what the hell are they up to?''


    Legs could no longer predict the thoughts of these viins.


    The incredible n and sesses of the Clown Society today already spread more than enough chaos, Legs could notprehend what else that they were up though. But he had an idea and it terrified him.


    "I hope not¡­"


    "What?" de asked again.


    And again, Legs did not answer him. "Follow me".


    Without hesitation, Legs mounted Predator as de used his own unique way to elerate and keep up with him. After about a dozen minutes, they arrived at the nearest shelter and the first thing that they met was chaos.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    This shelter already turned into a massive battlefield, the civilians fighting for their lives and family and the vicious criminals became the war champions.


    Legs watched all the death and chaos with a passive look on his face.


    Behind him, de already clenched his fists as he witnessed so much death.


    Throughout his time with his master, he had killed a lot, death was no longer new to him but witnessing the death of so many innocent civilians reminded him of his family and his n.


    de grounded his teeth together as his energy red.


    Legs stopped him. "Not now, wait for me".


    Alone, Legs entered this shelter. As soon as he entered the shelter, another rainbow light like that of a dying star appeared in the sky.


    Seeing this, Legs was shocked. "Another Grade C superhuman died?!"


    This was when the news came like a tsunami, apparently, the Clown Society were not satisfied and they attacked the royal family. After just a reign of 1 year, the tyrannical King, King Tom was assassinated by the Clown Society.


    This news brought a lot of shock and mixed feelings to this shelter.


    Legs was among those who received the most shock.


    ''Why?'' He just could not wrap his head around thispletely incredible progression, like he feared, he was already losing grasp of his advantage.


    ''King Tom was supposed tost to at least a yearter''.


    ''In fact, the Clown Society never had a 4th and 5th ck Master in my previous life, the storyline already diverged into another story entirely''.


    Legs was shocked and slightly horrified at the development.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Despite not wanting to admit it, he knew that all these changes were due to him. In this version of Dominator, Christensen was still supposed to be a good for nothing while de was still supposed to be a prisoner of the Clown Society.


    Changing this part of historypletely changed the storyline.


    Not only did it pressure Clown to rapidly elerate his ns, affecting the whole and storyline, it also affected more. If the Skull Pugilist didn''t sh with him and de, he would never have found the epiphany to improve.


    If he didn''t intervene, all the tribes of the desert would have been wiped out and Din bing the 5th ck Master would have never been a reality.


    Legs felt shaken all of a sudden.


    All his decisions up to this point were all for his own benefit, taking Christensen in, taking de in, saving the desert tribes, they were all for his benefits, both short-term and long-term benefits.


    He never made a decision without thinking to benefit from it.


    Perhaps his obsession with benefits finally bit him this time.


    One truth that still horrified Legs till now was that this was no longer Dominator the game, this was Dominator the reality. His actions, both the subtle ones resulted in all these and the current chaos.


    Thinking of all the lives that were already lost because of the ongoing chaos and the more that would be lost, Legs felt a strange feeling engulf his heart.


    He felt like he had a direct hand in the loss of so many lives.


    He originally made all those decisions to maximize his profit. Letting the Clown Society wreak as much destruction as possible originally benefited him, since it would maximize his information importance to all the main organizations.


    He thought all these were part of his mastern, he expected all these to increase his importance to the extent where he could finish the Grade A mission, Enemy of the Clown Society with an A or even higherpletion rating.


    He never expected the Pugilist Academy to fall though.


    He never expected Clown to feel so pressured to change so much.


    Legs changed his mind. ''I can''t stay content with this anymore¡­''


    ''I need to be more proactive!'' His eyes gleamed.


    In his opinion, the happenings of today were more than enough to tell the survivingwful organizations of the threat of the Clown Society. They would all be willing to grant his wishes just to get his knowledge of the Clown Society.


    Legs resolutely left the shelter, on arriving outside, he saw de still waiting for him and without hesitation, he informed him.


    "Follow me".


    "What?!" This time, de didn''t follow, he wanted to be in the know.


    Legs turned to look at his student and understood. "The King is dead, our is already engulfed by chaos, we need to act fast lest Clown win".


    "We need to make thewful organizations understand my importance".


    "So long as they are ready to buy my information, while we grow and be stronger, we''ll save the at the same time".


    "Follow me".


    "To where?"


    Legs paused and thought for a few seconds. "Since I''m a Summoner, I believe the Summoner Academy will recognize mypetence more".


    "We''ll go to the Eastern Continent".


    "We''re going to the Beast Canary".


    -----

    ----


    Legs dragged a random Wind Wolf from Ak''s pack, he handed it over to his student. "We need to be fast, we don''t know the Clown Society''s next n".


    de looked at his master then without a word, he mounted the Wolf.


    Without hesitation, Master and student set out of this shelter.


    Legs intended to take the shortest route that led to the Eastern Continent through a Great Forest, as Predator charged into the forest, the Nightmare Beast''s instincts suddenly spiked as the gigantic beast paused.


    "Roar¡­!!!" Predator roared loudly at the forest.


    Legs was startled, before he could react, 2 devices flew through the air.


    BZZZ!


    Legs briefly felt like he was hit by a space tornado, he stayed on Predator''s back but de could not as he fell from the Wind Wolf''s back.


    Before Legs could understand what happened, his virtual interface lit up a notification that shocked him.


    -----


    Warning! Space-time stabilizers have been detected in the atmosphere!

 Chapter 243 Ambush; Buffalos Masterclass Plan! [1]

    -----


    Warning! Space-time stabilizers have been detected in the atmosphere!


    You have temporarily lost ess to the Beast ne!


    ----


    Legs''s eyes literally widened as wide as saucers.


    Just the ingenious use of these technological devices that were characteristic of Mechanics already told him the identity of his enemies, it was the timing, abruptness, and effectiveness of the execution that shocked the freaking soul out of him.


    Instantly, Legs felt his brain sh-back to months ago when he was still training Christensen on the important basics of being a Master Summoner.


    He taught his student to always be prepared for any situation, he especially warned Christensen not to be too dependent on all his beasts and the beast ne.


    He warned Christensen this because he had faced Mechanics in battle.


    This warning was a pre-emptive warning for the future though, having witnessed the kind of technological development that Clown had grasp over, he never expected them to be high enough to deploy space-time stabilizers.


    He taught his student but he was also not prepared for this scenario, this was because he was so confident that no one in Darvis had these means.


    For like 2 seconds after the notification, Legs froze in shock.


    When his short-circuited brain finally recovered, he was rmed.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning!


    Warning! You have temporarily lost ess to the Beast ne!


    ----


    Legs''s eyes widened even further in disbelief and dread, facing this kind of situation where he lost control which was extremely important to Summoners, Legs geared into a serious state unlike he had ever been since his reincarnation.


    The time frame was too small though, he could not do anything nor even speak before they arrived, the ambush was too well-timed and nned.


    Whoosh!


    Legs barely felt the wind blow as a massive bird of prey swooped through the air when a metallic ropeunched towards them with speed.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master!


    ----


    Pushing himself to the limit, he was able to barely dodge the metallic rope but he was not the target, the metallic rope met its unsuspecting target.


    de was a pure and highly talented Pugilist with a formidable foundation, but even with his talent, there were some battle means that he had never experienced and one of these was a Space-time stabilizer.


    Space-time stabilizers had additional effects on those who experience it for the first time, Legs was able to cope better against this effect.


    As for de, hepletely lost control over himself.


    This was high-grade technology that worked bypressing the pockets in space to such tiny levels that nothing could escape through space. The disconcerting feeling that followed the sudden change rattled this Pugilist.


    This was why de easily lost control on top the Wind Wolf.


    Not only that, on the ground, he felt a feeling of nausea like he was riding a boat at sea for the first time. All these effects dulled his reaction speed, de could not react as the metallic ropeunched towards him with incredible speed.


    By the time that he could react, the metallic rope already got him.


    Bam!


    With incredible momentum, the metallic rope mmed into this Pugilist. It was not randomlyunched, apart from instantly tying and immobilizing de, this metallic rope cut strategic points through his body with its tiny des.


    Strategic veins in de''s body were cut, he was not severely injured but through these veins, blood started flowing out of his body like a waterfall.


    de felt dizzy in less than a minute.


    This was just the preliminary attack of the enemies.


    Whoosh!


    Legs was rmed at his student''s condition but he still focused up on hearing the wind blow again, this was when he saw the culprit.


    A familiar gigantic Mechanic Vulture flew through the skies like an apocalyptic monster, and riding it was a familiar warrior cloth in metallic attire.


    Legs''s eyes constricted. "The 6 Ninja Assassins!"


    Recognizing them did not matter though, surviving was what mattered.


    Legs'' constricted eyes soon focused, he smoothly retrieved his Mithril Bow and aimed at the flying Vulture.


    -----


    You have activated Weapon Ability: Rapid Shots!


    ----


    Before Legs could pull the arrow though, someone else did before him.


    Unlike Legs who simply had a marksmanship passive ability, this enemy was a veteran archer with the Legendary Archer subss. Her proficiency with the bow and arrow were miles above anything that Legs could reach.


    "Screech¡­!!!"


    The shriek of the 2 Owls barely reverberated when 5 arrows were unleashed at the same time, Legs was outnumbered and outshot.


    He tried to dodge but this time was not fast enough, Predator had to intervene as this Nightmare Beast jumped into the path of the arrows.


    With loud sounds apanied with a lot of force, 2 of the arrows dug into Predator''s body. Another one sliced through Legs''s shoulder, while thest 2 impaled the already incapacitated de, one on the chest and another on his abdomen as this Pugilist gasped in pain.


    Legs ignored the pain and looked up as his eyes shed with the cold female killer, the assassin codenamed Owl coldly looked down at him.


    Tu! Tu! Tu! Tu!


    Legs still hadn''t recovered from these attacks when another came. As soon as the cry of a Crow reverberated in the air, attacks descended.


    At the beak of this gigantic crow was mounted an automatic Rifle. As soon as the first 2 attacks connected, the assassin riding the Crow pulled the trigger as kic beams shot out of the muzzle of this Rifle at a rapid rate.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Legs could do nothing else but try to hide behind his beast.


    The kic beams sttered against Predator''s skin with incredible force as this Nightmare Beast roared in pain while its blood was spilled.


    Even with Predator''s defense, he could not defend against this attack.


    Whoosh!


    While hiding from the kic beams, Legs could no longer keep full track of the battlefield. He did not know when the assassin codenamed Vultureunched another metallic rope, this time, he could not dodge as he was tied down.


    He was barely tied when the ground started vibrating.


    Predator ignored his pain as he opened his eyes to look, this Nightmare Beast felt challenged as massive beasts of 3 different species charged towards him.


    Leading at the front were 2 massive Buffalos, riding them was the leader of the 6 Ninja Assassins who at this moment aimed with his automatic machine gun.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    He shot and like usual, Predator doggedly defended his master.


    While defending against the bullets, Predator could not dodge, the 2 gigantic Buffalos mmed against the Nightmare Beast with their powerful horns as this beast was flung away like a rubber ball while Predator bled heavily.


    The Nightmare Beast was already heavily injured.


    With Predator flung away, Legs was exposed.


    This was not the end, apart from the 2 Buffalos, 2 other heavier beasts rode from the back. The gigantic Rhino was faster as it charged ahead its counterpart, the gigantic Mammoth was much slower but it was far heavier.


    The assassin code-named Mammoth aimed with his lethal Sniper Rifle at the now vulnerable target, without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.


    Legs could not dodge, he had nowhere to dodge to.


    BOOM!


    The bullet was released with a lethal force that tore space itself.


    Legs was blinded by the light as he closed his eyes, this was when the bullet finally hit. For a moment, he felt like he was hit by a sledgehammer as his brain seemed to have short-circuited.


    For a brief moment, Legs could not distinguish between up and down.


    The bullet tore a massive hole through the right side of his chest, his virtual interface lit up even as Legs felt pain and a crazy burning sensation.


    -----


    Warning! You have been hit by a Hunter Marksman ability: Destructive Tundra!


    Warning! You have been heavily injured!


    Warning! You have lost 34% of your health points from one attack!


    ----


    "Ugh¡­!" Legs groaned in pain as blood flowed freely from his chest.


    In a well calcted ambush and series of immacte executions by elite assassins, Legs and his student who were notorious for their strength for months on end already were effectively and efficiently neutralized.


    This was Buffalo''s masterss n.


    Like Legs, this Summoner understood the notion of control to win a battle. From the beginning of this ambush, he was in full control, giving his opponents no time to react and was the main reason for the overwhelming dominance.


    Everything that happened from when the Space-time stabilizers were deployed took less than 4 seconds, they achieved all these within this short time frame, this was incredible efficiency only possible by the elite of the elites.


    At one side, de bled like his body was now a sieve even as he became dizzier by the second, Predator was heavily injured, Legs was neutralized.


    Thud!


    With one powerful stomp, one of the Buffalos finally stopped before Legs. From on top this massive beast, the assassin''s neutral eyes looked down at his target. "I expected you to give me more trouble".


    "Hehe¡­" Legs chuckled amid gasps of pain.


    He ignored the fiery pain at the right side of his chest as he struggled to right himself and look up at this assassin. "I am impressed".


    "¡­" Buffalo nonchntly looked at this Summoner.


    Legs closed his eyes to ignore the pain then he spoke. "You made perfect use of the Space-time stabilizers, your n was perfect, your execution was almost perfect but that''s not enough topletely neutralize me".


    Buffalo raised his eyebrows, not because of Legs''s arrogant words, but because of him calling the Space-time stabilizers by their real name so naturally like he knew them, but no one else was supposed to know them.


    He frowned. "How did you know what they are?"


    Legs grinned. "I know everything".


    Legs barely finished speaking before he sprang up on his feet, ignoring the sharp spike of pain that followed from the metallic rope and the hole in his chest.


    His eyes gleamed sharply like literal fire was burning inside them the next moment as adrenaline flooded all over his body.

    Whoosh!

    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration!


    ¡­


    You have triggered talent: Veteran Summoner!


    10% chance of triggering Overdrive has been met¡­, please wait¡­


    You have triggered Special State: Overdrive!


    ----


    Instantly after Legs entered the Overdrive state, he felt like he became a god. Everything about him changed and elevated from the limited human state.


    His concentration increased to such a ridiculous level that the tiniest of details became open to him, he felt like he entered an elevated state of being.


    He could see the 2 lizards that were mating kilometers away, he could see a Mantis stalking an Oriole far away, he noticed even tinier details like the tiny loose point that was on the stead holding the assassin to his Mammoth.


    He noticed a tiny mistake that Clown made in the construction of the automatic rapid-shooting Rifle that was attached to the beak of the massive Crow.


    He also noticed the 2 tiny almost-microscopic stress points that were on the thick metallic rope that tied him at this moment.


    All these opened Legs''s eyes to new realities that he didn''t know of before, everything happened before him like he was watching reality from a detached spectator perspective, it felt strange and surreal.


    Apart from the ridiculous increase to his concentration, Legs also felt a slightly weaker but also ridiculous increase to his thinking ability.


    Not just his thinking ability, but his decision-making ability.


    If before, a million thoughts could flow through his head without disorganizing his brain and turning him into a mad man, now, he felt that a billion thoughts could flow through his head at the same time without adverse effects.


    This was apletely ridiculous improvement.


    Originally, Legs intended to fight to the death, but the triggered Overdrive state gave him a new alternative. Now, he intended to fight to escape.


    His eyes seemed to have turned into those of an eagle, his time-space seemed to work at a speed that far exceeded his opponents.


    He noticed details many times faster than they did.


    The next moment, Legs took action.


    With his body tied up so tightly, he could not move his hands but the important thing was that his storage ring could be essed through his mind.


    Instantly, Legs essed his storage ring.


    Legs connected to an Enchanted dagger that he seldom used in battle, the mes of ndel. Instantly after he connected, his storage ring opened up as this enchanted dagger started falling out in a vertical trajectory.


    -----


    You have activated Weapon Ability: Fiery Edge!


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master!


    ----


    Legs positioned his body in a nned manner, this allowed the Enchanted Dagger to fall in a way where its edge was close to his body.


    Mid-fall, the ability triggered as mes engulfed the dagger''s de edge. One of the stress points that Legs discovered was on the part of the rope that tied his leg, this Enchanted dagger now targeted there.


    Whoosh!


    With ruthless efficiency, this Enchanted dagger cut the metallic rope.


    Instantly after it cut it, Legs kicked with his now free right leg. The kick was so well-timed that it collided with the handle of this Enchanted dagger, propelling it up at a trajectory where it targeted an upper part of the metallic rope.


    He was able to control his body and body strength to these ridiculous degrees only because he already activated his Combat Master active ability.


    The Enchanted dagger went up at just the right angle where it targeted thest stress point in the metallic rope. There was no room for error at this moment, that was why Legs made every move as perfect as possible.


    While the dagger came, Legs tightened his muscles, adding more strain to the metallic rope that increased the vulnerability of the stress point.


    Like before, the Enchanted dagger cut the rope with ruthless efficiency.


    Snap!


    The metallic rope snapped into pieces.


    Everything that happened to the tiny details happened in less than a second, and while his opponents were still in their decision-making process, Legs already made like 5 decisions ahead as he turned to face his beast.


    Buffalo reacted first as this Summoner aimed with his gun and shot.


    Bam! Bam!


    2 bullets prated Legs''s back as blood flowed but he did not stop for anything, he charged towards his beast.


    -----


    Warning! Your Health Points have gone below 10%!


    ----<novelnext></novelnext>


    Legs did not ignore the virtual interface notification.


    While he charged, he aimed and threw the still ming Enchanted dagger at his student while he essed his storage ring again. The next moment, a pill fell out and he grabbed it and ingested it the next moment.


    -----


    You have ingested a Special Healing Pill!


    You have recovered 30% of your Health Points!


    ----


    Whoosh!


    The dagger arrived at its destination. Having seen stress points in the metallic rope that tied him, Legs determined that there would be stress points in the other metallic rope. He discovered them and aimed at them.


    Having seen his master set himself free, de stayed still as the dagger flew towards him. The next moment, the dagger effortlessly cut through his rope.


    de had far more physical strength than his master, cutting one point of the metallic rope was more than enough for him to exercise his power.


    de flexed his muscles as the metallic rope snapped the next moment.


    It was at this moment that Legs collided and fused with his beast.


    -----


    Beast Integration Sessful!


    You have fused with Predator


    [Base Control Level: 48%]


    [+10% Base Control Level from hierarchy!]


    [Intermediate Summoner Knowledge: Enhanced Leadership Detected!]


    [+15% Control Level!]


    [Overall Control Level: 73%]


    ----


    Instantly after the fusion, Legs turned around to face his enemies.


    "ROAR¡­!!!" Predator roared to vent his grievance.


    Everything from when Legs entered his Overdrive state till now took less than 2 seconds, this was when the startled assassins finally reacted fully.


    Those with guns pulled the trigger.


    Those with bows released arrows.


    Whoosh!


    "Cell Regeneration!" de growled as his injuries rapidly started healing.


    Shing!


    With incredible familiarity and smoothness, he unsheathed Poseidon''s Fury from its sheath as his eyes already turned pitch-ck, his ck hair waved in the wind behind him as his powerful Pugilist energy disturbed the atmosphere.


    As the arrows and bullets came, de''s pitch-ck eyes focused as both his precognition and swordsman talent triggered, then he swung his powerful sword.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Like a powerful Ancient swordsman that walked right out of a medieval world, de resonated with his sword as they both flowed like water. Under his control, Poseidon''s Fury urately sliced bullets and arrows apart.


    This was insane speed and reaction speed, he was not alone though.


    After fusing with Predator, Legs was no longer as helpless.

 Chapter 245 Overdrive!

    -----


    You have activated active ability: Scale Defense!


    You have activated Special Ability: Disintegrate!


    You have activated Special Ability: Dark Arrow!


    You have activated Special Ability: Energy Drain!


    ----


    Originally, after fusing with Predator, Legs became much more powerful but this time due to the incredible concentration that was brought due to his Overdrive state, he was able to make much more use of the fusion.


    Of all the 6 dangerous assassins that made up the 6 Ninja assassins, Buffalo was the strongest and he was also the closest to Legs.


    Directly behind Buffalo and his 2 beasts were the 2 othernd assassins, Rhino on top his Rhino and Mammoth who was at the furthest back. On top the massive Mammoth, this assassin kept his Sniper Rifle aimed at their targets.


    While de defended against the attack barrage and while Mammoth waited to get the right angle to unleash his Sniper disaster, Legs''s eyes gleamed.


    "Focus on the leader". He ordered his student as his attack finally arrived.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    While focusing on defense, Legs put his full stakes on one gamble which was the Dark Arrow ability. Both the Disintegrate and Energy Drain at this moment were supplements, this was the only ranged ability that could make a difference.


    At such close range, Buffalo could not dodge.


    This middle-aged man could only let his beasts take the full brunt of the attack. To protect his life, the 2 massive Buffalos put themselves on the way.


    More than 5 Dark Arrows mmed into the bodies of the 2 Buffalos.


    Ordinary arrows would do nothing, but for these, they were different. Apart from inflicting destructive dark energy inside their bodies, the disintegration ability triggered as both Buffalos felt like their body was being torn apart from the inside.


    This was not all, the Energy Drain ability also took effect.


    This ability did not just draw energy from the Buffalos, it also drew Summoner Energy from their master, Buffalo himself. These well-coordinated attacks for a brief moment put Buffalo off his bnce.


    This was exactly what Legs sought for, he exploded forward with speed.


    Legs did not just explode forward with speed, he calcted rapidly. Despite his overdrive state, despite freeing his student, they were still outnumbered, it would require genius disys of power for them to escape.


    At this moment, his still kept trace of the 4 birds of prey that patrolled the skies. Apart from them, his eyes stayed mostly focused on Mammoth.


    Another Sniper shot from this assassin had the potential of taking him out.


    Mammoth was one of the fulcrums responsible for deciding this battle.


    This was why he sprinted forward in a way where the 2 gigantic Buffalos that were before him shielded him from direct shot to the sharpshooter behind.


    As soon as his Master sprinted forward, de also did.


    This Pugilist sacrificed his defense for offense.


    Bam! Bam!


    Bullets and metallic attacks from Vulture in the air dug into his body as blood flowed, but de ignored them all just to give himself enough leverage against Buffalo. He and his master arrived before Buffalo at the same time.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: w Barrage!


    You have activated active ability: Lethal Bite!


    ----


    Legs led the way as he pounced on Buffalo who rode his beasts, this assassin''s eyes widened as the decision-making speed and execution of his targets caught him off-guard.


    Buffalo was not to be trifled with though, this man was a veteran Summoner.


    "Special Summoner Ability: Beast Integration!"


    Legs''s eyes widened.


    Unlike what he expected, Buffalo did not fuse with any of his beasts, the 2 Buffalos, he instead fell backwards from the Buffalo that he rode on top. Seeing this, Legs''s eyes shed in understanding.


    ''A Grade D Summoner has 3 beasts''.


    Instantly after the realization came to him, he saw a gigantic Pythone out of a hidden spot in the Buffalo. Buffalo smoothly fused with the gigantic Python.


    Seeing this, Legs''s brain still in overdrive calcted 3 moves ahead as he transmitted other orders to his student even as he changed his n.


    de executed the ns withoutints as he attacked both Buffalos.


    The gigantic beasts tried to retaliate but de read all their moves, with his precognition and his incredible power, Poseidon''s Fury shed with the fury powering his master as both Buffalos were incapacitated in no time.


    Instantly after this, de turned to run.


    -----


    You have actively deactivated active ability: Beast Integration!


    ----


    Having kept his aim on his target since, as soon as the Buffalos were incapacitated and they staggered, a brief window opened and without hesitation, this assassin''s eyes gleamed as he pulled the trigger.


    Before he did though, someone did before him.


    -----


    You have activated Weapon Ability: Giant yer!


    ----


    Whoosh!<novelnext></novelnext>


    Having separated from Predator, Legs could wield his bow and arrow.


    The arrowunched forward with incredible venom.


    The arrow was not aimed at the assassin though, it was rather aimed at his beast, the Mammoth. Instantly after entering the Overdrive state, Legs made a lot of observations and one of them was on the Mammoth.


    He observed that there was a tiny loose point on the stead holding this assassin to his Mammoth, Legs''s arrow shot targeted this tiny loose point.


    With impable uracy, the arrow hit its target.


    Instantly, the strap of the stead that held the assassin in ce to the Mammoth snapped. This assassin lost his bnce which affected his aim, he already pressed the trigger though and it deviated from its intended target.


    The closest targets to Legs were the 2 gigantic Buffalos.


    The bullet with all its venom mmed into an ally, one of the Buffalos.


    BOOM!


    "Roar¡­!!!" The Buffalo roared in pain as it was instantly crippled.


    With the crippling of the Buffalo, even more space was opened that exposed Legs. Instantly, 2 other assassins that dominated the skies who couldn''t act previously because they were blocked could finally act.


    While they acted, Legs acted onest time.


    -----


    You have activated Weapon Ability: Giant yer!


    ----


    He raised his bow up and released the pressure.


    Whoosh!


    The arrow travelled through the air with incredible speed even as he was attacked in return by another assassin.


    After just entering the Overdrive state, one of the other observations that Legs made was the tiny mistake that Clown made in the construction of the automatic Rifle that was attached to the beak of the Crow.


    The assassin codenamed Crow pulled the trigger but just before the bullets poured out, Legs''s arrow prated through the muzzle and hit the weak point.


    Boom!


    The pressure from the arrow instantly triggered violent reactions inside this automatic Rifle, the Rifle expanded before exploding the next moment.


    The explosion tore the Crow''s beak apart as the poor bird cried in the sky, it''s upant, the assassin codenamed Crow was flung away.


    This was the most that Legs could outperform his opponents in the Overdrive state, having disrupted 3 of the assassins, another got him.


    While he aimed at Crow, the assassin codenamed Owl, the 2nd in Command of the 6 Ninja Assassins aimed with her bow. Legs did not target her before Crow since he already admitted defeat before her formidable archery.


    As soon as the crippled Buffalo opened her view, she shot.


    Whoosh!


    Legs could not dodge it, the arrow mmed into the left side of his chest, barely missing his heart as blood flowed, he coughed blood as the pain sensation invaded his brain like the invasion of a deadly virus.


    "Ugh¡­!" Legs groaned.


    Whoosh!


    Vulture flew to his back as it seemed like this assassin wanted to go after his student, Legs was still concentrated enough to see this as he aimed with his bow and released another shot that made this assassin abandon his previous path.


    Having covered a significant distance from the assassins already, de finally stopped as the realization that his master tricked him dawned on him.


    Whoosh!


    Another arrow prated Legs''s chest as he coughed more blood.


    He turned to face his student, then he growled. "Escape!"


    "This is myst order for you, don''t disobey me now".


    "But you said we would escape together". de clenched his fists as this Pugilist shook from the extreme emotions that now bubbled in his mind.


    After staying with his master for months already, de already grew to worship Legs''s strength, he already saw Legs was invincible.


    The pain made tears well in Legs'' eyes, he gritted his teeth.


    He red at de. "Nobody is perfect, we simply strive towards it".


    "Don''t make myst stand useless you fool, escape and tell the heroics of how I faced 6 powerful assassins alone, also tell him to check for ''Hell''".


    The Vulture rapidly flew towards de, this was when the realization finally dawned on this Pugilist. He looked at his master onest time before he turned to escape as tears welled in his eyes, he dared not let them flow.


    For the 2nd time in his life, de was too weak to do anything while somebody that was important to him was about to be captured and possibly killed.


    By now, the intentions of the assassins to capture Legs alive was already known. de took advantage of his Speed talent as he sprinted into the woods.


    The Vulture lost track of this Pugilist.


    Then, all the assassins finally turned towards their number 1 target.


    Feeling their gazes, Legs wiped the blood from his mouth.


    "Hehe¡­" He chuckled. "I''m not spent yet".


    Shing!


    He unsheathed the Mithril Sword, Giantsbane.

 Chapter 246 Captured

    "Give up!" Buffalo rose up again.


    His 2 contracted beasts, the Buffalos suffered considerable injuries due to Legs''s moment of inspirational fighting but they were very much still alive.


    At this moment, this assassin already fused with his 3rd contracted beast.


    After fusing with the gigantic Python, Buffalo transformed into arger version of the Python but with an additional part to its body. From the front of its slippery body, this Python grew 2 body parts that seemed like hands.


    With these 2 hands, in his Python form, Buffalo was able to hold his Rifle.


    Apart from the poisonous abilities of the Python, it''s incredible endurance and attack power, Buffalo also retained his firepower with his Rifle. This was a perfect Summonerbination, Legs was inspired by the sight.


    Buffalo was not taking it though, he red at their target.


    "Your student is gone, you are vastly outnumbered and outmatched".


    ? "Surrender!"


    Legs looked at this assassin with a taunting look on his face. "You said that thest time, have you forgotten how it ended?" He chuckled.


    "Cough¡­!" Chuckling made him cough violently as he grasped his chest in pain.


    Legs took a deep breath then he looked around him, apart from Buffalo, the other assassins were also alert and in ce to neutralize him.


    After the incredible power and ingenuity that he showed to damage them when his greatest advantage which was his beasts was cut off, they were wary of this human and was why they urged him to surrender.


    At this moment, Legs through his telepathic connection with them could sense Ak and Bran''s distress, they wanted to help him but they could not.


    He sighed and looked.


    At the furthermost end of this assassin group stayed the gigantic Mammoth, despite not being able to stay on top his beast, the assassin riding the Mammoth stayed at the back as he needed the beast''s defense.


    Standing beside the Mammoth''s leg, he already aimed with his Sniper Rifle again. Any wrong move from Legs and he would ruthlessly unleash his load.


    Legs also knew that he was an Earth Elementalist.


    As for the assassin codenamed Rhino, he was now the assassin closest to Legs. On top the gigantic Rhino, this Pugilist held his mechanical twin sabers.


    If another decisive battle broke out, Legs had no doubts that this fearless Pugilist would lead the charge directly to him for closebat.


    As for the assassin codenamed Crow, she suffered the most from his brief counterattack. After getting her beak sted by her own weapon add-on, her beast, the gigantic Crow was now heavily injured as it cried pitifully.


    Despite the state of her beast, this female assassin ignored it as her eyes never left the target. As a Pugilist also, she held a light sword on her left hand.


    Legs briefly had a look of nostalgia on his face, he remembered the good old days in his previous life when he formed raid parties to fight the 6 Ninja Assassins.


    Crow with her light sword was by far the most elusive of them all.


    Then he finally looked at the skies, first at the assassin codenamed Vulture. The mechanical eyes of the Vulture kept on scanning him as his Weapons Specialist master would not hesitate to unleash hell on him if he didn''t surrender.


    Legs looked at hisst opponent in the skies.


    ''The Inevitable Owl''.


    He chuckled to himself at this infamous name shed through his head.


    As the 2nd in Command of this assassin unit, she was a beast in battle, Legs still had a vivid recollection of her.


    He took a deep breath. "I''m not ashamed".


    He chuckled. "I feel ttered to die or be captured by your hands".


    They thought he was joking but this time, Legs was genuinely sincere. The reputation of these 6 assassins among yers was crazy in his previous life, he wished he could travel back in time and boast of this battle with his buddies.


    Despite his thoughts, he was still not going down without a fight.


    Shing!


    Legs''s eyes concentrated as he pulled his remaining strength together.


    "Predator, let''s give them onest piece of our mind".


    "Roar!" The Nightmare Beast roared again after being urged by his master.


    Like Legs, when he was attacked from all sides, the Nightmare Beast was also attacked as bullet holes and arrows now stuck out of Predator''s body.


    Predator ignored all the pain and allowed Legs to mount his back.


    "Do not kill him". Buffalo gave his only orders.


    BOOM!<novelnext></novelnext>


    Mammoth unleashed another shot with his lethal Sniper Rifle.


    -----


    Warning! You have been hit by a Hunter Marksman ability: Destructive Vortex!


    Warning! You have been heavily injured!


    Warning! You have lost 28% of your health points from one attack!


    ----


    The burning sensation and the turning and cutting sensation like a thousand knives were stabbing through his chest caused Legs a great amount of agony.


    "Arghhh¡­.!!!" He growled and gritted his teeth through the pain.


    Feeling his master''s agony, Predator roared angrily before taking the charge forward. Despite Legs and his beast''s zeal to cause more damage, they could not, they were not against amateurs but veteran assassins.


    Under Buffalo''s impable leadership, they boxed him in and ground him down like they were hunting a gigantic and powerful monster.


    Predator could only roar and thrash about, Legs could do very little.


    Bam!


    Onest tail whip to the head from Buffalo in his transformed Python form was what was needed to knock Legs into unconsciousness.


    His eyes soon faded into darkness.


    Instantly after master and beast became unconscious, Buffalo gave orders as the assassins fulfilled different roles. The assassin codenamed Mammoth drove his gigantic beast forward as Rhino helped to haul the Nightmare Beast on top it.


    As for Legs, he was bagged in a ck bag by Vulture.


    Owl went at deactivating the Space-time stabilizers.


    In less than 3 seconds, they were done and they left, leaving no traces of their identity behind after fulfilling their mission.


    ¡­


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    The sounds of footsteps of a frustrated man reverberated through the forest, guttural grunts of frustration asionally followed as he vent his anger.


    "Ahhhh¡­!!!" de screamed as he grabbed his head and copsed on the ground, he felt like he was going crazy.


    He did not leave the forest after escaping the pursuit of the assassins of the Clown Society, he felt too guilty and useless to go find his senior apprentice brother.


    The guilt that faced de at this moment was unlike anything that he had experienced before, thoughts of suicide flooded his head.


    "Ahhh!!!" He screamed again as his nails tore his skin open.


    Leaving his master to the enemies even though it was his master''s intention left de confused, frustrated, and angry. It reminded him too much of months ago when his tribe was annihted by Max and Maggie.


    Again, he could do nothing but only survive, he was fed up of surviving alone.


    de grabbed his head tighter. "I hate this world!"


    His deep frustration brought questions that he had never asked before to him. "Why do bad people always seem to have the most power?"


    "Why are good people always the weak ones?"


    "Jon Stones died".


    "Master was captured".


    He punched the ground. "Being good¡­, is that the source of weakness?"


    At this moment, his brain was already too fractured from the sense of defeat that different theories, questions, and crazy ideas came to his head.


    de asked different questions that reflected his desire to know why good people always died and were the weaker ones, he could not arrive at a good answer. His frustration only increased since he couldn''t get a good answer.


    His roars attracted a few beasts but he vented his anger on them.


    After ughtering more than enough beasts, drenched in blood, de finally gave in to his exhaustion as he copsed on the forest ground.

    ¡­


    The announcement dropped like a bombshell during WW2.


    After 6 months of development, most yers were close if not already at the Grade E realm which was the peak development for yers in version 1.


    For those who were already at the Grade E realm, their focus was now on amassing on different ss exclusive goodies like ss knowledge and weapons. All these were in their preparations for the climax of version 1.


    Those yers who loved delving deeper into the storyline already made numerous theories during the past 6 months of the game.


    Most of the theories were oundish, but some of them were reasonable and was why most of the yers were preparing for the epic sh.


    Like in most recent VR games, the climax of every version was a goldmine for yers. If they yed their cards well to fully participate in the climax of the version, they were liable to reap plenty rewards.<novelnext></novelnext>


    And since the first pro tournament would follow after Version 1''s end, the pro yers were much more enthusiastic about preparing in advance.


    Despite the many theories from the theorists though, none of them spected that the Clown Revolution would kick off so suddenly and unexpectedly. The announcement came so abruptly that for some time, no yer could react.


    It was only when the chaos started that they could finally react.


    The yer forum exploded.


    >Multiple yers are typing¡­<


    >Sus Lord: Holy Sh*t! Is this for real?<


    >Mashed Potato Lord: Is it really happening? F*ck, I''m so hyped!<


    >Horny Assassin: Damn! I didn''t expect this, but the Pugilist Academy fell? Is that even possible? I thought they were part of the main organizations<


    >Your Father: My gosh! I can''t believe it; a main organization fell!<


    >Your Father: Sh*t man, this version climax is going to be exciting!<


    >Sus Lord: Where''s that f*cking All-knowing theorist?! I thought you said Jon Stones was likely version 1''s main character, where the f*ck are you?<


    >All-knowing Theorist: Son, theories are called theories for a reason, they are unverified spections. It ispletely normal for a theory to be wrong<


    >Sus Lord: F*ck you and your theories!<


    Despite the banter in the yer forum, one thing was true and that was that Darvis was already thrown into chaos.


    In the Dragon Shelter, Raining Sword and his teammates were stunned.


    Representing Legs''s faction, Legs allowed them to represent him in the headquarters of the Hunter Union. They witnessed it from afar as a literal Red Dragon burst out and razed the Dragon Tower to the ground.


    They also witnessed it as chaos overtook the Dragon Shelter.


    All around them, hunters rushed into the shelter to calm the chaos.


    "Captain, which mission are we taking?"


    Raining Sword''s eyes shed as he took another look at all 4 missions, like the others, he already recognized that this was a once in a gametime opportunity.


    Any of the 4 missions that they took, so long that they performed well, they were liable toe out of it with a lot of experience points and other rewards.


    He secretly took a nce at his rivals.


    Desert Gust was not even specting, this skillful yer rapidly tapped at his virtual interface as he selected his own from the 4 missions.


    Without hesitation, he and his yers rushed into the streets.


    With his massive Berserker de, Desert Gust led the retaliation for his teammates as they shed against the rampaging gangsters in the shelter.


    Seeing their choice, Raining Sword already more or less also made his choice.


    He turned to face his teammates. "We must remain in Legs''s good grace".


    "I don''t know if version 1 will be concluded today, everything is happening so fast but it doesn''t matter, all we need to do is flow with the tide".


    "We''ll be taking Mission 2¡­" Raining Sword paused as a silhouette shed across his vision, rapidly charging into the Glory Dome.


    It took only a few seconds for this familiar figure to charge back out.


    "Awoo¡­!!!"


    Leo''s howl reverberated through the air like rumbling thunder.


    With a serious expression on his face, Christensen rode Leo into the streets alongside thebative leader of the hunters. General Toothpick directly led the charge this time, they were not out to save the civilians, they were after the root.


    They intended to root out the hidden cells of the Clown Society.


    Raining Sword''s eyes shed. "Change of ns¡­"


    "We''re taking Mission 3".

 Chapter 248 General Toothpicks Determination

    Boom!


    With General Toothpick taking the lead, the group of hunters were unstoppable as they bulldozed their way through the gangsters.


    They did not hesitate to ughter these bad seeds of the society.


    They were not their real targets though; their real targets were hidden.


    The subsequent sess of the Clown Society on this fateful day finally managed to prompt the leader of the Hunter Union into action.


    Few people knew that the leader of the Hunter Union was a female.


    Due to a lot of considerations previously, Master Hunter Lydia did not actively take part in anything rted to the Clown Society. But as soon as King Tom''s death became viral though, this Master Hunter changed her stance.


    She did not take part in the mission directly, seated inside the most exotic room inside the Glory Dome, this warriordy sat like she was waiting for someone.


    The daring moves of the Clown Society already ruffled feathers, feathers that were originally content with staying dormant. This warriordy had no doubt that Jon Stones'' death sent ripples of shock through the pinnacle superhuman circle.


    Sooner orter, she would be contacted.


    Though she remained in her room, she lent her help in another manner.


    By giving General Toothpick a special alien mechanic scanner that she salvaged from a battlefield decades ago, the chances of the General fishing out the hidden cells of the Clown Society increased.


    Just 4 minutes after they rushed into the streets, General Toothpick was alerted as he looked at the alien machine on his hand that looked like an oversized axe with an antenna.


    Beep!


    The machine beeped loudly as it detected the use of machinery.


    General Toothpick''s eyes shed as he looked to the right only to see a tall building that was clearly built by Elementalists. Like most nearby buildings, this building was deserted but the strange fluctuations came from below the building.


    "Underground!" This General growled through gritted teeth.


    Having witnessed his warriors being ughtered by the mighty Red Dragon and the army of Frost Giants, his rage was already at a peak.


    "Attack¡­!!!"


    None of them waited, they rushed into the building.


    General Toothpick''s Pugilist energy-empowered fist tore a hole into the ground as the secret hideout was exposed. Inside, a group of psychopaths were in the process of disguising as gangsters to go out and further fan the mes of chaos.


    They were startled at the sudden intrusion.


    They were not given the luxury of recovering though.


    "Summoner Ability: Beast ne Summoning!"


    Christensen, did not hesitate, he directly called Frigga. After 6 months of recovery, this mythical beast already recovered to the pinnacle of the Grade D realm. His arrival decreased the temperature in this area even more.


    "Special Summoner Ability: Beast Integration!"


    Christensen gave hisst orders to the Frost Wolf as he dived from on top it and fused with the Snow Fenrir instantly after it came from the beast ne.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Frigga roared loudly to announce his presence.


    Instantly after fusing with the Snow Fenrir, as the incredible power flowed through his body, Christensen remembered his master''s teachings as he channeled the energy properly to ess the incredible abilities of this mythical beast.


    Instantly after noticing the raid, the first thing that the leaders of this secret hideout did was an attempt to smash all the alien machines that they worked with.


    These machines contained sensitive information about their ns.


    Christensen had no intentions of letting them have their way though.


    "Special Frost Ability: Atmospheric Freezing!"


    For a brief moment, everything froze, Christensen acted again.


    "Special Frost Ability: Atomic Cancetion!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    By aiming at the leaders, this incredible ability worked it''s wonders as these warriors started fading into dust. Before they could brute-force their way from their frozen state, more than half of them were already dead.


    BOOM!


    General Toothpick''s fist burst another''s head into a bloody mess.


    Instantly, the hideout turned chaotic as the psychopaths tried to escape. The hunters and the yers were not about to let this happen though.


    [You have activated Pugilist Ability: Pugilist Burst!]


    [You have activated Warrior Swordsman Ability: Rising Stardust!]


    Raining Sword''s slim and extremely sharp sword briefly vibrated before he charged forward, all 3 psychopaths did not survive it, they were killed in one attack.


    His Pugilist energy exploded mightily as all 3 enemies were annihted.


    [You havepleted 1st Series Milestone: Kill a psychopath of the Clown Society!]


    [You have received 1 Chain Mission Point!]


    [2nd Series Milestone: Kill 10 psychopaths of the Clown Society!]


    Seeing the new Series Milestone increased this pro yer''s motivation. All around him, his teammates also did their best to hunt the psychopaths.


    One of them impressed him,pared to the first time when Ghost Sentry just came under his tutge, this yer was now a much better swordsman.


    Ghost Sentry''s one-on-onebat techniques were now highly refined.


    Raining Sword smiled but his smile soon froze when he saw a familiar sword light, he turned his head only to see a familiar face charging in.


    "RAINING SWORD!" This yer''s voice boomed.


    "Hahaha¡­, you''re still as shameless as ever".


    "How dare you try to take all the good stuff only for your team?"


    While heughed and spoke, Desert Gust''s momentum was not stopped in the slightest as this Berserker''s broad sword shed with the fury of a Giant, bisecting 2 psychopaths in quick session as his teammates followed.


    Raining Sword''s eyes twitched. "Shameless bastards¡­!"


    "Hahaha¡­, that''s my name so long as I can get some sweet experience points, no hard feelings bro". Desert Gust paid no attention to him.


    Seeing his rival''s efficiency, Raining Sword could only swallow the irritating feeling down his throat as he grabbed his swung and dived into the fighting again.


    In 2 minutes, no psychopath was left alive.


    General Toothpick did not stop as he led the charge outside again. This General was determined to hammer the psychopaths for their guts.


    Unlike in other shelters, another reason that caused the greater chaos in Dragon Shelter was the Frost Giants. After the events in the Dragon Tower, King Nagakin led his warriors into the shelter as he spread more chaos.


    The Frost Giants killed hundreds of humans before reinforcement came.


    King Nagakin was a Grade C powerhouse but at the instant that he saw the Snow Fenrir, this Frost Giant dared not gamble with the future of his race.


    He was already satisfied with what he did, he ruthlessly withdrew his warriors from the battlefield as they retreated deep into the North.


    While they retreated, General Toothpick did not stop his aggressiveness.


    This General led his warriors to sweep through the whole shelter.


    Despite their efficiency, there were more psychopaths and hidden bases, and there were even more gangs who were ready to stall their momentum.


    Today was going to be an extremely long day.

 Chapter 249 Pushed To The Wall

    Deep in the Eastern Continent, close to the Great Sea¡­


    Bzzz!


    As soon as the space shifted, 3 gigantic teleportation portals opened.


    With power emanating from his very being, the Light Summoner remained in the skies on top the White Mutated Dove as he kept the teleportation portal long enough for all the survivors of the royal pce toe to the other side.


    As soon as they came to this side, he deactivated the teleportation portal.


    Without a word, this powerful Summoner looked down at the royal family. At this moment, he was going through a sensitive phase of self-doubt.


    Through the signs, he knew that Diana was already dead. This induced even more guilt in him due to his decision to abandon his duties.


    In the skies, this powerhouse fought against his own morality and conscience.


    As for down below, something else entirely went on.


    After escaping the disaster, most of the survivors of the royal family were relieved as most of them cried while the braver ones observed their surroundings.


    Among the many survivors was an energetic young man with blonde hair, this was Charles, King Tom''s immediate younger brother.


    Unlike thete King, Charles was even younger and was still in his thirties.


    This young man''s ambitions had overgrown in recent times after his elder brother became ill, now, his dreams seemed to have been fulfilled in a different manner that he expected.


    After the teleportation and barely surviving the onught, he temporarily forgot his ambitions though as he shivered at the thought of how close he was to death, he secretly expressed his gratitude to the Light Summoner.


    Amid his inner thoughts, one of his supporters came towards him before whispering into his ear. Instantly, this Prince''s eyes shone.


    Prince Charles stood up the next moment, he eyed the royal survivors.


    "This is a time of mourning for all of Darvis¡­"


    "My brother is dead, the King is dead". He tried to express sadness in his voice but his true emotions inevitably leaked out and betrayed his true feelings.


    "Devious terrorists were responsible for assassinating my brother¡­"


    "As the one next in line to the throne, it is my responsibility to avenge my brother. To do this, you and I know one thing, the throne cannot be empty".


    "We need a new King to stabilize the chaos".


    Prince Charles'' supporter took over. "In this time of chaos, Prince Charles is the best candidate to save us from the devious ws of the terrorists".


    "Following ourws, in a time of crisis, to stabilize the, the borate inauguration process can be forfeited so that a new King can be elected".


    "We should make Prince Charles our new King!"


    This deration brought mixed feelings from the survivors.


    While they bickered among themselves, Prince Charles'' supporter looked up at the Light Summoner for support. As a King Protector who had ess to the royal archives andws, Magna also knew of the rules.


    Feeling their stares, Magna only felt extreme disgust fill his being.


    The reaction of the royals after everything that happened today instantly dispelled his self-doubt and guilt, Magna arrived at a conclusion. The royal family and everybody associated with it was scum!


    Diana was wrong to have given her life for the throne.


    His resentment for the royal family increased by the second.


    While thousands died every second, after surviving, the first thing that the sessor thought of was seizing power instead of nning to save lives.


    Even when his beasts died, he did not receive a single word offort, all the Prince was concerned about was seizing power for himself.


    Magna red at them as ripples spread through his eyes.


    He twisted his lips. "F*ck the King!"


    "F*ck the Royal family!"


    Bzzz!


    This Summoner opened another teleportation portal and decisively abandoned them, the survivors of the royal family were left stunned and lost.


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    From the skies above the ruin of the Dragon Tower, an extremely beautiful woman appeared. This mature woman had such a big bust that her tight clothing seemed to be begging for freedom, this was her most prominent trait.


    She had red hair, a tall physique, and a beautiful face to boost.


    Eleanor''s cold eyes surveyed the ruin. "Craxes is free¡­"


    As she muttered to herself, she felt a gaze look at her from the Glory Dome. She inclined her head to look at the Master Hunter, she didn''t bother greeting, she simply nodded before tearing the fabric of space again.


    Bzzz!


    After teleporting again, Eleanor arrived at the ruins of the royal pce.


    After the incredible battle that leveled the sacred Darvis royal pce to the ground, most of the attackers already left, only 1 was left behind.


    The mes surrounding Daemon''s skull burned fiercer as this Necromancer uttered a long incantation that aroused the power of the underworld.


    The next moment, in the middle of the ruin, Daemon raised his hands.


    As soon as this Necromancer raised his hands, a reaction urred.


    The Underworld briefly seemed to intercept with reality as a powerful undead energy invaded this ruin. This power invaded the bodies of all the casualties of this battle, the next moment, all of their eyes snapped open.


    While staggering, the dead corpses rose back to life.


    They rose back to life as Zombies!<novelnext></novelnext>


    "All men shall die!" Daemon cackled in maniacalughter.


    He was the real benefactor of this battlefield, the massive amount of death worked in his favor. Now, he got to replenish and expand his massive undead army.


    Under his control, 3 gigantic teleportation portals opened the next moment as his undead army started marching back to his kingdom. While they did, he felt the foreign presence as he instantly looked up to see who it was.


    Seeing the familiar figure, this skeleton''s skull seemed to form a smirk.


    Eleanor calmly observed, then she tore the fabric of space again.


    Bzzz!


    Eleanor finally arrived¡­


    With cold eyes, this beautiful warrior arrived at the ruin of the Might Dojo.


    At this moment, under the leadership of their Orc Warlord who already came back, the Orcs were rampaging through the Shelter with impunity.


    Eleanor ignored them and focused on the ruin before her, her eyes remained steady but emotions were already flowing through them.


    shbacks emerged in her head, the first time she came to the Might Dojo, the first time that she met him.


    His masculinity and power instantly captured her heart, it was love at first sight. Unfortunately, Jon Stones was a man who was not too enthusiastic about women, despite a long time having passed, the man of her heart never responded.


    Eleanor looked at where she could feel the residual traces of his masculine aura, the aggressive Pugilist energy was something that she could never forget.


    "Did you really¡­, die?" As she asked herself, her eyelids shook.


    For the first time in a long time, this female warrior''s eyes turned watery.


    She just kept on staring at that point where she felt the residual traces of Jon Stones'' aura, without a doubt, this was where this legend gave up the ghost.


    Without knowing, Eleanor''s fingers were already digging so deep into her almost snow-white palms that blood started flowing from her smooth palms.


    From sadness, this female warrior''s eyes started zing like the sun.


    They zed with a mixture of anger and aggression.


    She tore the fabric of space again.


    Bzzz!


    This time, Eleanor arrived at the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance. She bypassed all the defenses and directly went to the core chambers of this powerful organization, there, the 2 Core Protectors sat in introspection.


    As soon as she arrived, both Core Protectors raised their heads to look at her.


    Eleanor''s zing eyes that were filled with fury red at Core Protector Shanks, she said nothing, but her fiery eyes spoke a thousand words on their own.


    Core Protector Shanks sighed. "I want peace¡­"


    "WE HAVE BEEN PUSHED TO THE WALL!" Eleanor exploded.


    The 2 Core Protectors calmly weathered the wave of her fury.


    As the Core Protectors looked at her,motion suddenly came from outside. They turned to look.


    "Let me in!"


    "I was sent by the King himself! Do you dare bar the King entry?!"


    After a few tussles and scuffles, this man barged his way into the core of the Core Protector Alliance where the Core Protectors lived.


    This man exhibited no fear before these exalted figures, either he was a fool seeking death or he was simply an overconfident fool.


    He red at them. "I am Commander Aaron".


    "Commander of the royal guards". Pride echoed from this warrior''s tone as he introduced himself to some of the strongest warriors in Darvis.


    "I bring the orders of the King".


    "These are the King''s orders". He adjusted his stance. "All Grade C Superhumans in the have been ordered to mobilize and capture Jon Stones".


    "He hasmitted treason against his King!"


    "¡­"


    Silence reigned in this chambers.


    Core Protector Shanks kept quiet as he calmly looked at this warrior, his eyes flickered as a lot of things went through his mind. The next moment, he inclined his head to look at the warriordy that stood before him.


    "You are right¡­" He sighed. "We have been pushed to the wall".


    Core Protector Shanks stood up, the originally suppressed energy of this legend already turned turbulent as his eyes slowly started glowing a white color.


    He looked down at the Commander.


    "Now this is my order to you, help me tell your King in the afterworld".


    His eyes gleamed. "F*ck you!"


    Core Protector Shanks flicked his right hand, a mighty power erupted with it.


    BOOM!


    Blood and mutted body parts sttered everywhere.


    Commander Aaron did not survive, he waspletely obliterated.

 Chapter 250 Significance Of Clowns Masterplan

    [You have ingested a Legs Faction Exclusive Potion: Basic Vitality Recovery Potion!]


    [You have ingested a Legs Faction Exclusive Potion: Basic Mana Recovery Potion!]


    [You have triggered Passive Ability: elerated Regeneration!]


    [You have activated Warrior Swordsman Ability: Finesse Stab!]


    Boom!


    Raining Sword''s stab to the chest took out one of the leaders of another hidden base. Even as his virtual interface lit up another notification indicating his kill, Raining Sword ignored it all as he synergized more with the tempo.


    His eyes shed as his sword flowed like the waves of a river flooding a beach, his momentum was unstoppable as he moved forward.


    The disorganized psychopaths of the Clown Society could not stop his rampage, his Enchanted sword ughtered the weakest of the psychopaths.


    As for the stronger psychopaths, he conveniently left them for the leaders of this mission. The higher-ranked hunters led by General Toothpick and Christensen were merciless as they ughtered the psychopaths.


    Even as they ughtered, they did not forget to secure useful equipment.


    General Toothpick already received orders from his superior, securing as many alien machines from these hidden bases as possible was now a priority.


    After another kill, Raining Sword''s virtual interface lit up another notification.


    [You havepleted 3rd Series Milestone: Kill 1 of the leaders, a Blue Master of the secret bases of the Clown Society spreading the mes of chaos!]


    [You have received 3 Chain Mission Points!]


    [4th Series Milestone: Kill 3 Blue Masters of the secret bases of the Clown Society, kill 20 psychopaths of the Clown Society, and kill 2 yers that have taken Mission 4: Wee to the Dark Side!]


    Almost at the same time that Raining Swordpleted the 3rd Series Milestone, Desert Gust''s Great Sword tore one of the Blue Masters in twain after a frenzied battle as he also received the same notification.


    Both pro yers turned to look at each other at the same time, the same thought went through their head, they changed their targets.


    Desert Gust charged outside of this building at the nearest yer whose name already turned into an ominous red color, indicating the dark side.


    Despite the fact that most yers didn''t take it, some daring yers took Mission 4 due to its incredible advantages. The main attractiveness of this mission was its double experience rewards, it was too appetizing to some yers.


    These yers were now Desert Gust''s targets.


    [You have activated active ability¡­]


    Desert Gust did not let the virtual interface finish before he yelled as he charged at one of the yers. "Take my Sword of Justice!"


    Bam!


    This yer was skilled, he calmly parried the strike with his light sword.


    Every yer that choose Mission 4 was either foolish or confident of their skills, this yer was one of theter. Desert Gust did not stop though after his attack was stopped once, this yer increased the tempo.


    The first attack made him learn a lot about his opponent.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    His Great Sword spammed sword attacks chaotically.


    "Take this!"


    "Take that!"


    "You motherf*cker!"


    "Son of a b*tch!"


    "Son of a wh*re!"


    "Ugly piglet!"


    "¡­" The opposing yer was speechless.


    "Will you f*cking keep quiet?"


    Bam!


    This yer barely spoke after getting constantly irritated when Desert Gust suddenly increased his tempo. The yer could not adapt enough to the sudden change, this yer''s Great Sword stabbed into his abdomen.<novelnext></novelnext>


    The temporary freeze state from the damage doomed this yer.


    Desert Gust''s attacks flowed like water, heboed the yer to death.


    "Hahaha¡­, you''re too green to win me in a one vs one!" He taunted the yer who slowly faded into light particles mercilessly.


    This was his fighting strategy, trash-talk in a battle of emotional warfare, and bombard with crazy swordbos in a battle of physical domination.


    His strategy almost always worked against other yers, only Raining Sword learned to cope with his intensity throughout the years. Desert Gust believed he was superior though.


    He turned to look at Raining Sword, seeing that his rival was yet to hunt a yer, he smirked triumphantly before continuing his raid.


    The forces of the Hunter Union slowly swept through the Dragon Shelter.


    They left no region untouched in their sweeping attack to root out the culprits, secret base after secret base of the Clown Society was uncovered.


    While General Toothpick experienced unprecedented sess in his mission, the first copies of the alien machines that were sent back to the Glory Dome arrived. They were directly transported to Master Hunter Lydia''s chambers.


    Inside her chambers, this Master Hunter meticulously observed the alien machines. After observing for minutes, she arrived at a conclusion.


    "Computers¡­"


    She had seenputers before when she was still an assistant to one of the strongest Elementalists in the history of Darvis, Newton Barne.


    As soon as she confirmed that these wereputers, the operation became much easier. She took some time to remember the basics before inputting some basicmands, the next moment, theputer switched back on.


    Through the screen, she saw themand that was given to the secret cells of the Clown Society, her eyes constricted.


    Theputer disyed a summarized take of Clown''s ambition.


    Apparently, Clown''s n for the hidden cells was to amplify the chaos and effects after the events of today.


    Attacking the Pugilist Academy and killing Jon Stones was not an impulsive decision, it was a well-nned attack and it had a lot of significance.


    Lydia''s eyes constricted even further, she was impressed. "What a n¡­"


    Clown targeted Jon Stones and his organization for a reason. For a long time, the 3 main academies have projected an aura of invincibility. They seemed so aloof, powerful, and far away that few dared to go against them.


    Apart from some rogue Grade C superhumans, few humans dared to go against the main academies, this amplified their aura of invincibility.


    Clown recognized that this aura could severely hamper his n to herald chaos, this was why he sought to tear down the status quo.


    Attacking and razing the Pugilist Academy to the ground tore that veil of invincibility. Killing Jon Stones amplified the effect countless times, to the gangsters and super criminals, the main academies were no longer so invincible.


    This was what encouraged them to lead the Clown Revolution,ing out of their caves and hideouts to fight and seek benefits for themselves in the chaos.


    "What ingenious nning¡­"


    It seemed simple but having stayed at the pinnacle of power for a long time, Hunter Master Lydia knew that achieving this at this scale was hard.


    She acknowledged Newton''s student''s genius but one question remained on her mind. "Why is he doing all this?"


    "Does he really believe in that ridiculous notion of order in chaos?"


    "Does he think he can survive it if he antagonizes all the Grade C powerhouses of thewful organizations?"


    The more she studied this man, the more she found his motivations dubious. Hunter Master Lydia felt that there was something more beneath the scenes.


    As she studied, she also noticed some other connections in theputer that pointed to the Core Protection Alliance headquarters. Since it didn''t borate, she instinctively skimmed through this part.


    While she observed, the airspace here suddenly shifted.


    Bzzz!


    2 Grade C auras descended in her domain.


    Hunter Master Lydia looked up at the 2 familiar faces.


    "Core Protector Shanks¡­"

 Chapter 251 Newton Barnes

    Bzzz!


    As soon as they came, Lydia received the full brunt of Eleanor''s ferocity.


    This Elementalists'' aura battered against her like a flowing river. Despite the fact that she showed no animosity towards her, Eleanor''s sheer ferocity and inner turmoil meant that her energy was far more prative than usual.


    She was not embroiled in a battle but this female warrior still seemed like she was embroiled in an invisible battle. Eleanor''s demeanor, look, ferocious eyes, they were still the same to Lydia, they radiated aggressiveness.


    Lydia inclined her head to look at the Core Protector, like usual, Core Protector Shanks radiated calm but it was mixed with a hint of chaos this time.


    Lydia raised her eyebrows but she still acknowledged her visitors.


    "Core Protector Shanks¡­"


    "White me Eleanor¡­"


    Core Protector Shanks reciprocated. "Hunter Master".


    As both pair of eyes looked down at the Hunter Master, without saying anything, they already conveyed their intentions but Lydia still asked.


    "Why are you here?"


    Eleanor took a step forward, her voice almost boomed already when Core Protector Shanks ced his left hand on her shoulders to stop her.


    "I will take care of it".


    Core Protector Shanks looked at the Hunter Master with a calm look on his face. "You heard how the royal pce became a thing of history".


    "You heard how the Pugilist Academy copsed in a day".


    "You heard of Jon Stones'' death".


    "We already lost control over the, the Clown Society already took a step too far and vited our bottom line, we can''t stay still".


    "And?" Hunter Master Lydia remained calm.


    "We need to put an end to the terrorists now, Newton''s student has to be put in his ce or more would die and our would suffer".


    "We must act!" Eleanor finally spoke.


    Her fiery personality even seemed to make the temperature around her increase. "We can''t let them have their way, they must pay!"


    Lydia ignored her and looked pointedly at Core Protector Shanks.


    "You are nning to unite the Grade C Superhumans to fight him?"


    "Yes".


    "How many have you spoken to?"


    "You are the first".


    Lydia calmly nodded. "Ok, let me get this straight". She alternated her gaze between both Grade C Superhumans. "Is this n meant to prioritize saving the citizens of our or to prioritize revenge?"


    While stressing thest part, she pinned her gaze on Eleanor fearlessly.


    "Jon Stones was a friend¡­" Core Protector Shanks answered before the fiery Eleanor could. "I can''t ignore his death like it didn''t affect me".


    "The priority is stopping the Clown Society to end the chaos and the deaths but that does not stop me nor her from taking revenge".


    "Newton''s student must die, he crossed a line".


    Hunter Master Lydia finally smiled for the first time since they came. "I have no objections against your revenge, I just want to stop the chaos".


    "My organization does not benefit in this so-called order of chaos".


    "And besides, I really care about the lives of the civilians".


    She no longer beat around the bush. "I have contacts in the Summoner Academy tomunicate with him, I can also speak with the Mercenary, as for the others, you''ll both have to rope them in".


    "Done".


    "We''ll meet in 30 minutes at the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance". Core Protector Shanks turned to look at Eleanor.


    This fiery superhuman reciprocated his gaze. "Don''t worry, I will try my best to rope in the other old geezers, focus on him".


    This Core Protector no longer spoke, he directly tore the fabric of space open.


    Bzzz!


    Core Protector Shanks left.


    The other 2 Grade C superhumans also did not linger here, once the Core Protector left, they also left to meet different Grade C Superhumans.


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    Core Protector Shanks arrived in the Southern Continent¡­


    This powerhouse''s powerful energy check swept through the gigantic structure that was beneath him. The headquarters of the Elementalist Academy was built close to the desert, and it was built using a special crystal.


    The tower-shaped building was constructed fully using this special crystal.


    It had properties that hindered the effectiveness of a superhuman''s energy check, this was just one of its many dpidation abilities.


    Core Protector Shanks did not waste much time on the crystal''s properties though, after observing and confirming that this was the ce, he directly teleported inside, bypassing most of the defenses that were put in ce.


    Bzzz!


    Core Protector Shanks arrived inside a pure-white and neat room, this was Newton Barnes'' personal researchboratory.


    Sizzle!<novelnext></novelnext>


    Core Protector Shanks turned his head to follow the sound where he saw him. This old monster was gabbed in a whiteb coat, his long grey hair was tied in a bun and covered with a special field that served as a hat.


    At this moment, he held a beaker and seemed to be mixing some chemicals.


    Newton was so focused on his work that he didn''t seem to notice the intruder, Core Protector Shanks didn''t disturb him either. Amid the silence, this Elementalist finished mixing his chemicals as he got a lc mixture in the end.


    He finally removed his mask and dropped the beaker, then he spoke.


    "I will not fight my student, the most I can do is offer support". Newton said without turning to face the intruder as he adjusted his sses.


    "You would rather billions of civilians die?"


    "Yes".


    "¡­"


    "Did you meet him?" Newton asked again.


    "No, but others have seen him".


    "How is he?"


    "Evil". Core Protector Shanks ruthlessly answered. "From what I heard, he''s an extreme unscrupulous version of you that is obsessed with research and experiments, but mostly on himself this time".


    "Part of his body is now mechanical, the other part contains imnted runes of a Giant, he can barely be called a human now".


    "¡­" Newton sighed, he finally turned to face the Core Protector.


    After years of secluded research, despite his incredible vitality as a Grade C superhuman, this Elementalist''s face already seen the rigors of old age. Wrinkles were all over his face, signs of his apparentck of taking care of himself.


    "You know, Norman was my favorite".


    "He was intelligent, humble, and most of all, he had my zeal for research. I saw a lot of myself when I was younger in him, that is one of the reasons why I overindulged him and exposed him to my riskier research".


    "When he found out about alien technology, like me when I first discovered it, his fascination got the better of him, he wanted it fast".


    "I warned him but he didn''t listen".


    "I tried to discipline him but it only led to resistance and rebellion".


    He sighed. "For the first time, I felt like I failed as a teacher".


    He smiled in a self-depreciating manner. "As if to highlight my failures, not only me now but the whole is suffering for my inadequacies".


    "A lot of people already suffered more than enough". Core Protector Shanks butted in. "We need you to subdue him with the least effort, you know him best".


    "Like I said, I won''t fight my stud¡­"


    "He killed Diana!" Core Protector Shanks butted in. "He killed Jon Stones, one of them was also your student, the other was your old friend".


    "You''ll really let him go after all these?"


    "¡­"


    "Ahh¡­" After seconds of silence, Newton sighed loudly before sitting down on a chair. "If someone deserves to be punished, I am the one".


    "My overexcitement created him, innately, Norman is not what he is portraying".


    "People change".


    "I know Norman".


    "You don''t!"


    Newton sighed again and stood up. "You said Jon Stones died?"


    "Yes".


    He smirked. "It''s hard for me to imagine that old geezer dying, unless he regressed after centuries, I can bet with my organization that he''s still alive".


    "¡­"


    Noting Shanks'' silence, he turned to look at him. "Do it".


    "Fight Norman, do everything that it takes to stop him".


    "I will support you¡­" His eyes constricted as he paused.


    "What?"


    Newton looked at this Core Protector seriously. "During my years with Norman, one dominant trait that he showed was his precognition. He was good at reading his rivals and getting ahead of them".


    "He would have guessed that he already pushed you to the wall, he would have guessed your n and also that you woulde meet me".


    "The fact that he didn''t stop you means¡­"


    "What are you trying to say?" Core Protector Shanks'' eyes constricted.


    "Did you leave your territory defenseless?"


    Core Protector Shanks narrowed his eyes. "Are you saying¡­?"


    He dared not verify, he directly tore the fabric of space again.


    Bzzz!

 Chapter 252 Attack On The Headquarters Of The Core Protection Alliance!

    Minutes ago, shortly after Core Protector Shanks left¡­


    BZZZ!


    Instantly after the Core Protector left, more than 10 Space-time stabilizers were dispatched into the air as they instantly took effect.


    Like in almost every otherwful organization on the, the Clown Society also had sleeping agents in the Core Protection Alliance.


    The Clown Society had such a long time to fune and perfect their n that when the time came to enact the n, everything flowed smoothly.


    Instantly after these mechanical devices triggered, the Space-time in the air became so solidified that teleportation became impossible.


    Not everywhere was affected by this phenomenon though.


    By deploying 12 Space-time stabilizers in strategic positions, a pocket of space at the furthermost corner of the Core Protection Alliance was left untouched.


    This was where the invasion party entered the atmosphere.


    Bzzz!


    For a brief moment, it felt like aliens were invading from outside the.


    The first party that moved through the sole teleportation portal that opened was a Lich with a ming skull. As soon as Daemon passed through the portal and looked at his surroundings, this Necromancer cackled maniacally.


    "Go on my servants¡­"


    "Let these men witness the power of death¡­"


    "All men shall die!"


    "Hahaha¡­!"


    Amid his cackles and crazyughter, an army of undead skeletons started charging into the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance.


    Apart from the normal skeleton warriors, archers, knights, and Giants, there was an additional canon-fodder army of Zombies of varying heights and strengths.


    The might of a zombie depended on how strong the recipient was when he was still alive. Though most of them were weak and only good for cannon fodder, there were enough of them that some elites were among them.


    Daemon''s Named Skeletons led the charge from the front.


    This was Daemon''s advantage, despite being a rtively new Grade C Superhuman, his undead army made him so strong. By relying on so many creatures in battle, his strength could not be easily quantified.


    And he was already ying a great part in the Clown Society''s sess. Due to his undead army, they didn''t need to expend as much psychopaths to get their ns executed, Daemon alone had a bigger army.


    As soon as his Bone Dragon arrived through the portal, this Necromancer no longer stayed idle. With a loud shriek, the Bone Dragon took into the skies with his master riding it as it breath frost mixed with undead energy at the defenders.


    The warriors of the Core Protection Alliance were briefly stunned.


    Most of them were still relishing in the moment of one of their Core Protectors leaving when everything changed so fast. The change was so abrupt that it took them time to react, but they were still able to react.


    The regional Commanders reacted fast, the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance was the most well-protected base in the whole.


    "Energy Shields, up!"


    "Archers, attack!"


    "Warriors, stand your ground!"


    Archers didn''t just refer to superhumans who had an affinity with marksmanship, those that wielded firearms also reared their firepower against the massive undead army as they unleashed their loads on them.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    While the rangedbatants attacked, different energy shields rose up as they slowly formed an all-epassing shield around the base.


    Before the shield couldpletely form, the Bone Dragon attacked.


    This time, the Dragon spat out such a concentrated frost breath that it seemed to turn into a frost beam fueled by otherworldly energy. While this energy rapidly mmed towards the shield, the existence inside was finally drawn out.


    Core Protector Levi took action!


    As soon as this powerful Fire Elementalist took action, the temperature in the atmosphere rapidly rose to ridiculous levels.


    "Special Elementalist Ability: 9-Lives Fiery Shield!"


    BOOM!


    The Bone Dragon''s frost beam mmed against the gigantic fiery shield that appeared and both sides simply cancelled each other out.


    Core Protector Levi did not stop there though, despite the short time, he already understood the ns of the enemies and their motive.<novelnext></novelnext>


    He was not about to let them have their way.


    "Special Elementalist Ability: Rocket Speed!"


    "Levi Specialty: Fiery Sword of Damocles!"


    Whoosh!


    Core Protector Levi moved through the air like a rocket as fire sprouted out from his legs. Daemon and his Bone Dragon could not dodge, this powerful old Elementalist cornered him before mming the Dragon with the ming sword.


    "Screech¡­!"


    The Bone Dragon shrieked loudly as its right wing was cut to pieces.


    The loud shriek of the Dragon coincided with the time when the teleportation portal flickered again. This time, no ordinary warrior passed through, the leaders of the Clown Society passed through.


    Instantly after Clown passed through, his eyes surveyed his surroundings.


    The battlefield was easily pictured in his head.


    He instantly improvised his n. "We''re going in fast!"


    "Din, join Daemon and take care of the Core Protector".


    "Einstein, follow me".


    Whoosh!


    Core Protector Levi barely detected the presence of the new Grade C Superhumans when Craxes turned towards him and breath extremely hot fire.


    Unlike other Superhumans, Core Protector Levi was not as afraid of fire. He did not dodge and simply bathed in the fire, he came out with minimal injuries as with fiery eyes, he shed against the mighty Red Dragon.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    For the next few seconds, Core Protector Levi held his own against these 2 new Grade C superhumans who due to special circumstances were stronger than normal. Daemon and Din gave him more than enough challenge.


    With him tied down, Clown and ck Master Einstein were unleashed.


    These 2 Grade C Sage Elementalists wreaked havoc.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Their intention was to break in fast and get what they came for.


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Whirlwind of Fire and Sand!"


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Wildfire Combustion!"


    Under the barrage of Sage Elemental abilities, the defense of the shields wore down fast. The attack intensity was too high, the defense did notst any longer before they popped like balloons before the 2 Elementalists.


    Without hesitation, they dove in only to meet more resistance.


    The headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance enjoyed protection.


    As soon as a hostile presence was detected, a mighty psionic energy spread through this territory as hidden weapons were activated. Instantly, from different corners of this territory, hidden weapons popped out.


    Turrets, kic projectiles, artillery weapons, they all popped out.


    On seeing these alien machinery, Clown''s eyes lit up, he detected traces of someone close to him from their construction. "Master¡­"


    He detected traces of his master in these weapons, apart from himself, his master was the only person who had the proficiency to deal with alien tech like this. He did not despair though, he was only left excited.


    These weapons did not hesitate after locking on the intruders, they unleashed their loads as the cacophonic sounds of different rounds filled the air.


    The 2 Elementalists received a lot of punishment but Clown released another of his trump cards, his Bio-Mechanic beasts were unleashed!


    As the mechanic beasts shed with the mechanical weapons, they were able to get enough time to breach into the core of this headquarters.


    The attack started at a fast pace and continued like that till now.


    Their efforts paid off, they were already in.


    Clown set his eyes on the gigantic mechanical structure.

 Chapter 253 Stand... Down!

    Old Man Gilliard was the one in charge of the core mechanism.


    This old and retired Elementalist dedicated his whole life to studying the mysteries of the core. From the first time that he was exposed to this incredible source of power, he was amazed and enchanted by it.


    The core was what made life possible in Darvis.


    It was the energy core of the that supplied it with energy to survive, it was the life-sustaining source of Darvis.


    Mana came from the core, so also did psionic energy.


    After decades of studying it, Old Man Gilliard slowly left his ignorant status and learned a lot about the core. In his understanding, the core was a natural energy source that assimted the natural energy of the universe.


    By assimting this natural energy from stars in space and other extraordinary phenomenon, it made it possible for super energy in a.


    Humans be superhumans by harnessing this energy stored in the core. Thew of conversion of energy also applied here.


    Since humans could not directly make use of the energy from the core, they needed to convert it into another form to be able to use it.


    Through ss knowledges, humans learned to convert this energy.


    Pugilists, Summoners, Elementalists, these were simply ways in which humans in Darvis learned to convert energy from their core into.


    Old Man Gilliard already theorized long ago that there were more ways that energy from the core could be converted into, the only limitation was the ss knowledges that were still not avable to them.


    The more that he learned about the core, the more he attracted attention from above until Newton Barnes himself decided to join his research.


    With the assistance of this legend of Darvis, his research surged forward. They learned to harness the energy of the core in another way.


    They learned to harness the energy of the core through artificial ways, mostly alien machines. When powered by energy directly from the core, a normal superhuman would die while most machines would be overloaded.


    The few machines that could survive it though became weapons of mass destruction, Newton disbanded the research team because the power that was harnessed through them was too chaotic and uncontrolled.


    Machines were technology that they did not understand, mixing it with the even less understandable core would definitely result in a disaster.


    Despite scrapping the research team, Newton still gave Gilliard the authority to continue researching on the core.


    This was the reason why Gilliard became an authority figure after the official establishment of the Core Protection Alliance, such raw power could not be let to fall into the hands of an enemy.


    Like Old Man Gilliard, Newton kept the secret of their discoveries tight to themselves, only telling some of his favorite students.


    It was this bias to tell his students that created the monster called Clown.


    Obsessed with the possibilities of the core, Norman became determined to harness the power of the core. After countless disciplinary actions, Norman abandoned his master and started his own journey of defiance.


    As soon as the attack started, Old Man Gilliard knew the culprit.


    "The Core cannot fall into Norman''s hands!"


    "Such power in the hands of a maniac like him spells disaster!"


    This was why this old man gave his all to shut it all down.


    BOOM!


    After breaking through all the defenses, Clown set his eyes before the gigantic metal structure. The metal structure was built like an elevator, and it led to the deepest part of the where the core was located.


    A shield protected the metal structure but it could not stop them.


    The 2 Elementalists overloaded its systems with attacks before it popped open, without hesitation, Clown and Einstein charged in.


    Old Man Gilliard already prepared an borate defensive measure against them before their arrival but against such powerful Grade C powerhouses, the measures were not enough as they bulldozed their way through them.


    During this time, Old Man Gilliard disabled more of the powers of the core. Over the years, ways were already built on how to harness its powers.


    Old Man Gilliard now aimed to shut these processes down.


    This old man was only able to shut down 65% of the power before the aggressive energies of the Grade C powerhouses pressed against him like a sledgehammer, this old man waspletely suppressed.<novelnext></novelnext>


    With a maniacal look on his face, Clown aimed to grab the control panel.


    "Stop!" Old Man Gilliard was desperate.


    "You can''t control it, you''ll unleash a disaster on the!"


    Clown turned to look at his older counterpart. "Old men like you are not qualified to work on research thisplicated, leave it to the younger generation".


    Clown worked on rebooting the processes as the battle outside raged.


    It may have been a long time since he was exposed to this immense power source and its operation processes, but having slept with it in his mind since, he remembered more than enough to operate it.


    The numerous energy cables glowed blue by the second as the energy of the core started being transmitted through them again.


    These were not ordinary cables, they were modified to harness raw energy.


    While the battle raged outside, Clown was focused on his obsession.


    His progress speed increased the more time that he spent on it.


    His eyes constricted in excitement. "It won''t be long now¡­"


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    After an intense tug of war with space itself, Core Protector Shanks finally managed to overpower the shackling effects of the Space-time stabilizers.


    He arrived to see a chaotic battlefield in his territory.


    For the first time in a long time, this warrior''s eyes zed with fury.


    "INSOLENCE!" He was thoroughly angered.


    The Core Protection Alliance was the lifeline of Darvis. After a lot of research over the years, apart from the surface truths, the core researchers already arrived at hidden secrets due to its energy, such vition was not allowed.


    Norman''s brazen act thoroughly angered this powerful Summoner.


    His raging energy caused thunder and lightning to appear in the clear skies as the next moment his energy opened a massive version of the rainbow bridge.


    Core Protector Shanks was going all-out this time.


    The first beast that jumped out of the beast ne was a Might Wolf!


    This extremely muscr greyish white Wolf seemed toe directly out of a freezing winter. With blue eyes that reflected death, muscr limbs, and spiky ice offshoots sticking out of its body, this Wolf was a killer.


    "Awoo!!!" He announced his presence with a mighty howl.


    Following this beast was a gigantic Bee, a Bee with an even more massive bee army following behind it. An Earthquake Hound followed the Bee.


    Thest of the series was a gigantic Draconic Red-Scaled Lizard!


    "Roar¡­!" The Lizard roared loudly to announce his presence.


    Just before Core Protector Shanks could dive in with his beasts to smash the defense of the enemies apart, a powerful energy suddenly erupted from the middle of the Core Protection Alliance where the hole leading to the core was.


    This chaotic and powerful energy made this Core Protector''s eyes to widen.


    The next moment, Clown flew out of the hole with a control switch on his hand, he pointed the control switch at this Core Protector.


    "Stand¡­ down!"

 Chapter 254 Relationship Between Master And Student

    "Stand¡­ down!" Clown''s voice reverberated like thunder.


    Instantly, all themotion in this headquarters came to a stop.


    Both the battling warriors of the Core Protection Alliance who fought to defend their organization and the rampaging undead warriors of the Necromancy King, they all came to a pause at this moment.


    Core Protector Shanks did not stop because of Norman''s words, what made him stop instead was the incredible amount of energy that was now being emitted.


    The metal structure that led deep into the crust where the core was now seemed to have been set on fire as it glowed in a blue color.


    The special cables were already overloaded with energy.


    Beep! Beep! Beep!


    All alien mechanical devices that were in the surroundings beeped loudly in rm as their sensors were fried by the powerful energy in disy.


    At this moment, the real power of the core was already harnessed in the special cables. This unstoppable power was only waiting to be unleashed.


    And without a doubt, the switch on Norman''s hand was the control panel, this was the controller that could decide the fate of this massive energy.


    Up in the skies, Core Protector Shanks was already standing on top his Mutated Bee before he stopped. Now, he made a gesture of calm towards Norman.


    "Drop the control switch and we can talk this out".


    "Hahaha¡­!" Normanughed maniacally.


    "Why should I?!"


    "I have all the power in the world!!!"


    "But you can''t make use of it". Core Protector Shanks'' voice already returned to its usual calmness as his still eyes stared at his opponent.


    "What is the use of power if you can''t make use of it?"


    "I can''t make use of it?" Norman looked at his hand as a smirk slowly formed in his face. "You think I can''t make use of it?"


    "The energy of the core is too powerful and unstable".


    "Even your master was unable to properly harness it".


    "My master is a coward!"


    "My master is a fraud who can''t ept or tolerate greatness!"


    "My whole life, I lived to prove him wrong". Norman''s eyes gleamed with ambition and excitement. "I spent thousands of hours reading, learning, researching, and experimenting for this very day".


    "Today, Darvis shall wee a new age!"


    The next moment, Norman spread his hands as a part of the energy of the core leaked out. Apart from the psychopaths that came for this battle, others also came and dragged his carts along.


    2 of these carts were far bigger than all the others, the 2ndrgest became the receiver of this powerful energy that leaked out of the core.


    Hum!


    With a loud humming sound, this gigantic machine geared to life.


    Unlike the rudimentary alien machine like theputers that the psychopaths mostly used, this machine was the peak of alien technology that Clown had been able to have ess to. This was his magnum opus.


    The virtual projector drank the energy and geared to life.


    The next moment, it projected an image into the skies.


    Instantly, at different corners all across the, this same projection appeared in the skies. This was the projection of the current state of the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance and Clown.


    Norman was about to address the whole at the same time.


    Core Protector Shanks'' eyebrows creased slightly.


    "Citizens of Darvis, I am the leader of the Clown Society".


    "Today, we wee a new age in our".


    "For decades, I and my closest confidants have been working hard on how to disrupt the prevalent order and usher in the new order and era of chaos".


    "I call my n the 4-Node n!" Excitement leaked from his voice.


    "For a long time, the royal family and the Grade C superhumans that you adored have deceived you about the true power of the core".


    "The core is our greatest natural gift, it is the greatest source of energy that we have ess to".<novelnext></novelnext>


    "For decades, I nned on how to bypass their defenses and harness the true power of the core, that is why I brought up the 4-Node n".


    "After a lot of research, we discovered that the energy of the core was anchored on 4 nodes across the. Taking control over the 4 nodes is the clearest way to harness the power of the core".


    "Over the decades, after a lot of research, I created the energy receivers".


    "These receivers can draw and receive the energy of the core".


    "With them, I intend to create the ultimate ruling deterrence".


    "After disrupting the old order, a lot of the Grade C Superhumans were angered. They feel challenged, they feel affronted and they want to restore the old order back". He smirked. "I say no!"


    "I say the current order stays this way, chaos is the birth of excellence".


    "The aliens of old stimted us to better ourselves".


    "If we don''t ept the stimtion of chaos, we would regress as a race".


    "And I don''t want us to regress".


    Clown raised his hands like he was a god. "Witness as I create the ultimate monstrosity that will keep all the Grade C superhumans at bay".


    The next moment, thest of the cart was pulled forward. Once the robe covering the cart was lifted, what it pulled was revealed to every spectator.


    The cart pulled the corpse of an Ancient Giant.


    This was an Ancient Giant corpse that Clown already worked on before now. Apart from mixing additional flesh ingredients into its biological makeup, Clown already imnted a chip on this Giant corpse beforehand.


    The cart pulled the Giant towards him.


    Seeing this, Core Protector Shanks'' eyes widened. "No¡­, don''t do it".


    Norman ignored him. "Witness the birth of a new era!"


    Once the cart was close, ck Master Einstein finally flew out of the hole as he brought some of the special energy cables before plugging them to the Giant.


    Bzzz!


    A massive energy charge was sent into the body of this Giant as it convulsed.


    The next moment, this Giant''s body started glowing in a bright blue color. The runes that were all over its massive body received a surge of energy as they mutated, this Giant Corpse underwent aplete makeover.


    The energy entering the body was so powerful that any other body would have exploded into a bloody mess already, but this Giant''s body was sturdy.


    The energy grew so much to a level that it finally broke a limit.


    The energy in the Giant''s body exceeded the Grade C realm!


    BOOM!


    The shockwave of so much energy gathered in one body spread everywhere as the close spectators had to close their eyes to protect it.


    When Core Protector Shanks regained his vision, the gigantic Giant was already standing. Its eyes glowed in a bright blue color that was so intense like the sun, blue streaks like lightning constantly shed through its body.


    Without even fighting it, Core Protector Shanks knew that this Giant already exceeded the Grade C realm. He was not sure if this was the Grade B realm, but this Giant was definitely now hovering in a point between the 2 Grades.


    His eyes widened in shock and slight fear.


    Clown basked on all the emotions that flowed after witnessing this feat.


    Heughed maniacally. "Hahaha¡­!"


    "This is the order of chaos!"


    "With this Giant, none of you dares to disobey me".


    "The consequence of disobedience is death".


    His eyes gleamed. "With this Giant¡­"


    "I AM YOUR NEW KING!"

 Chapter 255 I AM YOUR NEW KING!

    "I AM YOUR NEW KING!"


    This deration reverberated through billions of ears like thunder.


    ? As soon as the Giant was brought back to life, everyone of the spectators knew that like Clown said, they were weing a new era. What shocked them more was the deration that followed from this terrorist.


    Clown''stest deration revealed his real ambitions to everyone.


    Core Protector Shanks'' eyes widened. ''If his n is to make himself the King from the onset, then his extreme means bes necessary''.


    ''But why the need to kill so many citizens in a mindless quest for chaos?''


    This was what this powerful superhuman could not understand.


    Feeling the ridiculous energy of this Giant, he already forfeited any notions of fighting his enemies today. He was powerful and intelligent, this also made him know his limits, he was not a Pugilist, he was a Summoner who worked intelligently.


    He knew that if he fought this Giant, there was a 90% chance of dying.


    This was the reason why he held his peace at this moment, but Core Protector Shanks did not yet feel at ease. ''What is your real n?''


    ''Why the need to sacrifice so many lives?''


    ''If so many superhumans and civilians die, then there is no use bing the King? Would he rather be a King of blood and bones than be a real King?''


    Core Protector Shanks was confused. ''I guess I can''t predict nor understand the thought process of a terrorist, their brain works in different ways than mine''.


    Throughout his long life, Core Protector Shanks had fought and encountered a lot of terrorists and criminals so he was long used to their ideologies already.


    Despite getting used to it, Clown''s ideology was still a first to him.


    ''Why even go through so much trouble if his end goal is to be King?''


    Core Protector Shanks was not the only one who had his own thoughts and perspective about this deration. Though most didn''t dare to voice it out, Clown''sst deration sent off explosive waves in active minds.


    Inside the massive Beast Canary, the headquarters of the Summoner Academy, Eleanor and Lancelot, the leader of the Summoner Academy watched.


    Like the others, they also listened to everything.


    "What is he up to?" Lancelot asked with a frown.


    "All these just to fulfill a quest of bing the King?"


    Eleanor closed her eyes as her very being shook even as her nails dug even more injuries into her delicate hands. "So many people died just to fulfill his petty dream of bing the King of the".


    "Jon Stones died just to fulfill his petty dream".


    "Hehe¡­" She chuckled but Legs only shuddered on hearing it.


    Her chuckle was one that hid a lot of emotions, sad emotions that she remained steadfast in holding in. "You won''t live long to enjoy your reign!"


    "This, I vow!"


    She smirked as she slowly regained her bearing. "During my years of adventure, if there is one thing that I learned, it''s that no one is invincible".


    "No matter how powerful that Giant is, it must have a weakness".


    Her eyes glowed ferociously. "We shall see!"


    ¡­


    Far away in the Northern Continent, in the Glory Dome, even as the chaos in the shelter temporarily stopped due to Clown''s address and as the impact of his deration hit them hard, Hunter Master Lydia remained calm.


    This Hunter Master was put into deep thought.


    ''Grade C is the pinnacle of strength in our society, getting to this level is the dream of literally every warrior, nothing is more enticing than this''.


    ''What is the mere dream of bing Kingpared to this?''


    ''Did he develop the dream because of Tom''s childishness?''


    Thinking back to her rtions with thete King, his childishness, his insecurities and his constant urge to step on the heads of the Grade C superhumans, a thought briefly crossed her that Clown''s decision was rted to this but she quickly rejected it.


    ''The Clown Society started nning long before this".<novelnext></novelnext>


    ''What is your real motivation to shake the so much?''


    As she thought, a brief memory suddenly shed across her memory. A long ck hair, a pair of purple eyes like ruby, an authoritative demeanor that always seemed to want to put her down.


    Back then, she hated her master, it was her rebellious phase.


    She hated her master''s penchant of always wanting to shoot her impulses down, always wanting to caution her ambitions, she hated it then but sheter understood after her master gave up her life for hers.


    This was something that she never got tired of regretting.


    A weird look suddenly came over her face. ''Is this rted?''


    ''Is Clown''s weird life choices rted to Newton?''


    Her eyes slowly widened after this connection, she remembered the frequent thoughts that came to her mind then when her master was alive.


    She coughed. ''Is he doing all this to spite Newton?''


    ¡­


    Like the others, Newton Barnes also listened to his student''s speech.


    Unlike the others, as Norman spoke, Newton knew that his student was not addressing the masses, he knew that he was the one that Norman addressed.


    When Norman dered himself as King, the first thing that came to his mind was a memory. It floated back to him like it was just yesterday.


    Thud! Thud!


    The energetic young man sprinted to him holding an alien machine.


    "Master, see what I did!"


    "I managed to reverse-engineer the blueprint to create them telephone, it was so easy all along!"


    Looking down at his student, the sight of the machine on his hand alone invalidated every other thing that Norman said, he exploded angrily.


    "How many times did I tell you to stop messing with alien machines?!"


    "They are dangerous and not for you to tamper with!"


    "You''re so useless,mon instruction, you won''t listen!"


    "If you remain so stubborn and conceited, you''ll remain a nobody forever!"


    "You have no achievements to brag of, so why can''t you listen to me?"


    "Diana and Herod are so much better than you, you good for nothing!"


    "Get out of my sight!"


    "You''re grounded for a week!"


    Then, Newton reflected and recognized that his words were a little harsh but due to Norman''s growing pride that he was his best student, he didn''t apologize, he took it as a measure to drive some humbleness into his student.


    He didn''t expect Norman to run away just 3 dayster though.


    Remembering this memory briefly made this old man dete in emotion, he sighed and rubbed his temples but he didn''t let it linger in his mind for long.


    He turned and returned his focus to his research.


    By now, he already knew that all Norman''s decisions were made to spite him. Norman wanted to prove to him that he was not a good for nothing, Norman sought his attention to prove that he could achieve what his master couldn''t.


    He didn''t want to indulge his student though, he stayed adamant, he tried to remove the events of the day from his mind.


    While he engrossed himself in his research, after constant back to back shocking encounters today, this unforgettable day finally came to an end.

 Chapter 256 Terrorism

    1 weekter¡­


    "Ancient Pugilist Ability: Giant Fist!"


    "Ancient Pugilist Ability: Atomic Smash!"


    "Ancient Pugilist Ability: Gravity Pull!"


    Boom!


    Arge part of the forest was destroyed by the shockwaves of the attack.


    The energy and aura of the Giant sted on all cylinders to a ridiculous degree as his opponent waspletely suppressed. Even without the attack hitting yet, this human was already feeling crushed by the gravity that followed.


    "Ugh¡­!" He grunted as he coughed blood.


    Since a week ago after the Clown Society unveiled the Giant test subject and Clown dered himself King, the psychopaths of the Clown Society started building a new pce in the ashes of the old pce.


    Apart from the pce that was in construction, Clown set the Pseudo-Grade B Giant that he created and controlled loose.


    Of course, he justified his actions.


    "The order of chaos brings stimtion¡­"


    "The order of chaos brings destruction and death which brings evolution".


    "Without dying, we can never be reborn".


    "Through the ashes of the dead, we''ll evolve as a race".


    "Test Subject Giant-1 is the trailzer of humanity, he is the closest to what many calls the Grade B realm. He carries our hopes of breaking our limits".


    "Like us humans, Giant-1 also needs stimulus to break his limits and trailze the path to the Grade B realm for us, this is why he should not be caged".


    "There are dozens of Grade C superhumans in our, they should also be engulfed in the chaos, they should serve as more than enough stimuli to push Giant-1 to exceed the confines of the Grade C realm".


    With this, Clown justified his actions.


    Though a lot of people thought it was bullshit, their opinion did not matter. In the end, it was the one with the power that gets to make all the rules.


    During the past week, Giant-1 already hunted and killed 3 Grade C superhumans!


    This was unprecedented in the history of the.


    On this fateful day, Giant-1 was hunting another Grade C superhuman and like expected, this human stood no chance.


    Seeing the gigantic fist powered by super Pugilist energy that surged towards him, this rogue Grade C Superhuman became desperate.


    "Ahhh¡­!" He growled as he stared defiantly at the huge and mighty Giant.


    He grabbed his battle Spear tighter as he red at the mighty Fist flying towards him, the next moment, he roared and made his move.


    "Special Pugilist Ability: Dragon Soaring through the skies!"


    Boom!


    "Special Pugilist Ability: Myriad Dragon strike!"


    Whoosh!


    The first ability from this superhuman was a powerful one-hit ability. With incredible force, it hit the gigantic Giant Fist only to be repelled.


    This rogue Grade C Superhuman did not give up though, he gave his all for hisst attack as his Spear seemed to turn into the vessel for different dragons.


    Unlike the first attack, this attack hit many times!


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    After stabbing 21 times in less than a minute, the Giant Fist finally dissipated but that was not the end. The mighty Giant pressed its right palm down, then the next moment, this superhuman felt like he was stuck in a blender.


    His innards werecerated by the extremely destructive force.


    After the Atomic Smash ability, this superhuman lost all power to resist then the Gravity Pull finally took effect.


    As soon as the Giant made a pulling gesture with his hands, gravity worked against the human as he flew uncontrobly towards the Giant.


    Just before the Giant could catch him and get its 1st kill for the week¡­


    Bzzz!


    Whoosh!


    As soon as a teleportation portal opened, 3 Grade C Superhumans charged out. One of them, a Grade C Fire Elementalist directly attacked the Giant as he spammedrge AOE attacks against it.


    The other was an Earth Elementalist as he terraformed the terrain to make it hard for the gigantic form of the Giant to go after them.


    As for thest, she was the notorious White me.


    White me Eleanor''s eyes gleamed as she roused her Water Elementalist powers. The water flowed straight towards the dying Grade C Pugilist, and mid-way, she changed her energy type as the water turned into a bubbling white.


    The water gained healing properties.


    As soon as they engulfed the Pugilist, he started healing rapidly.<novelnext></novelnext>


    White me Eleanor did not stop at this. While she healed the Pugilist, she spread both her hands as a massive energy like a white me erupted from her.


    The next moment, her allies in this battlefield all received substantial bonuses that improved their overallbat power. Despite it now turning into a 4 vs 1 battle, they still stood no chance against the Giant.


    After a short battle, Eleanor opened another teleportation portal.


    Bzzz!


    They escaped.


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    The White me and the other 3 Grade C Superhumans teleported to an underground hideout.


    "Cough¡­, ugh¡­" The injured Grade C Superhuman groaned in pain.


    Despite surviving already due to Eleanor''s emergency treatment, the injuries inflicted to his innards by the Giant were lethal. He was lucky to survive, to fully recover, he needed to recover for an extended period of time.


    Leaving Eleanor, the other 2 Grade C Superhumans helped him in.


    Eleanor took a deep breath and looked around her. Apart from the stairs that led down here, this underground hideout had only 2 chambers and the first chamber held 6 injured Grade C Superhumans, they all nodded at her in greeting.


    These 6 were part of the victims of Giant-1 during the past week.


    Eleanor nodded back at them before going to the 2nd chamber, there she met figures like Hunter Master Lydia, Core Protector Shanks, and Core Protector Levi.


    She looked straight at Shanks. "The attacks of the Giant are bing more rabid". She continued as she found a random ce to sit and rest. "Just today alone, it attacked 2 Grade C Superhumans".


    "The Hunter Union has been f*cked over by the chaos". She looked straight at Hunter Master Lydia who didn''t have much of a reaction.


    "The Mercenary Online organization is barely standing".


    "The Summoner and Elementalist Academies have been hit hard, they are the only survivors of the old order. They are the only ones brave enough to resist him and have survived, they are still fighting".


    "What are you saying?" Core Protector Shanks looked at her.


    "We can''t keep on hiding, we can''t keep on cowering while millions die".


    "I told you to put your revenge aside¡­"


    "THIS IS NOT ABOUT REVENGE!" She exploded ferociously in anger again.


    "Can''t you see? Look around, our is dying while we watch!"


    "By the time you make up your mind and conviction to stand up like a man to that cursed brat, there would be no one else left to save".


    "Every day, I go out there, I see people dying, this can''t continue".


    "We need to do something".


    "What do you suggest?" Core Protector Shanks calmed down.


    "We need to pool our strength together, that''s our best chance".


    "A lot of Grade C Superhumans are reluctant to test their survivability against that beast, they hate the prospect of feeling human again".


    "The Giant reminds them of a painful truth, their mortality and vulnerability".


    "We have to make them!" Eleanor sounded desperate.


    Core Protector Shanks sighed. "That''s the problem, Grade C Superhumans cannot be controlled. Before getting to this level, each one of us were either the best of our generation or among the best, we all have huge egos".


    "For decades or even centuries, we saw ourselves below no one".


    "We already grew used to working alone since we previously stood at the pinnacle of strength above everyone else, suddenly being asked to change is hard".


    "Grade C Superhumans can''t change overnight".


    Eleanor sighed and slumped her shoulders but the core of her ferocity didn''t subside yet, she clenched her fist. "Not all of them will be willing to let down their ego, but some will".


    She looked up at Core Protector Shanks again. "Let''s meet all of them, let''s try to convince them. Even if 90% refuses to drop their ego, the 10% that agrees is enough for us tounch an attack against the Clown Society".


    "It''s either we bow our heads to terrorism or we save our".


    "There is nothing in between". Her eyes gleamed ferociously.


    This time, Core Protector Shanks no longer opposed her, like the others, he already knew that stopping the Clown Society was now a do or die affair.


    As soon as they made the decision, they no longer hesitated.


    With Eleanor taking the lead, they started implementing it. Thewful organization leaders, the rogue Grade C superhumans, none was being left behind, they were all needed to make the n a sess.


    While the Grade C Superhumans made their moves in the dark, after 1 week of wandering trying to find himself again, de finally met Christensen.

 Chapter 257 Decisions; I Am Blade

    Deep in the Barren Forest, the thick veil of winter increased the density of mist in the air even as cold dew softly fell on the ground of this forest.


    Winter was a time of the year that beasts here didn''t enjoy.


    The cries of birds of prey filled the air even as their prey cowered in their hiding. With the soft growls of hungry predators, the shaky whimpering of freezing prey, and the rigid dancing of the cold trees, life echoed in this forest.


    Hidden inside this cold forest alongside the beasts were some humans.


    After the fall of the Pugilist Academy, Dragon Shelter already became a shadow of its former self. Chaos befell this once glorious shelter.


    It was not unheard of to have 2 shelters with the same name since the headquarters of the Hunter Union in the North was also called the Dragon Shelter but in different continents, the West already became a shadow of its former self.


    The freezing winter only elerated the crime rate and chaos.


    Different humans in search for safe harbor ventured into the dangerous Barren Forest where most of them became food for the hungry beasts.


    Only a select few could survive.


    Those that survived the encounters came out of them stronger. Clown''s ideology may be an extreme one, but after a week of it, the weak were slowly weeded out, leaving only the strong that had the potential to evolve.


    At a hidden corner of the Barren Forest¡­


    Crack! Crack!


    The fire made crackling sounds as the wood slowly burned, fueling its mes.


    Built around the burning fire was a temporary camp. Mostly made up of temporary tents that could be dislodged in an instant in the case of an emergency, this was a very mobile camp of remnants from the Dragon Shelter.


    Their identity was more special because they were led by Christensen.


    After the events of the Dragon Shelter in the North, Christensen escaped all the chaos but he was interrupted by Brutus'' sudden emergency contact.


    By transmitting his thoughts through their telepathic connection, Christensen knew that something was wrong. He opened the bridge to the beast ne only to see Brutus with Ak and Bran.


    Through their telepathic connection with their master, Ak and Bran had a recollection of everything that happened to Legs and de.


    Apparently, after it happened, with no way to ess Darvis without their master, both beasts sought out Brutus.


    When they ryed the truth to Christensen, for a long time, he was stunned.


    ''Master was captured?'' The thought felt difficult for him toprehend.


    For a few seconds after he heard it, he was horrified.


    Like de, Christensen already held his master at such an esteemed state in his mind like he was invincible. With this bitter truth, Christensen received a brutal wake-up call that his master was still human.


    Another factor that helped was that no matter how muchpetence Legs showed, he never tried to portray himself to his students as a god.


    Christensen didn''t panic, the first thing that came to his mind was a question.


    ''If it was master in my ce, what would he do?'' Instantly after Christensen asked this question, he arrived at an answer.


    Without hesitation, he went to work.


    "Follow me!" He called both Ak and Bran along.


    On returning to Darvis, the first thing that he did was to go out in search of the remnants of the Pugilist Academy. Before leaving, Legs detailed his ns out to him and was why he went after the remnants.


    After 2 days of searching, he found Frost Crane and Afro Pugilist.


    Both warriors seeded in saving and keeping the survivors of the Pugilist Academy alive. On locating them, Christensen took over their safety, he took over while patiently waiting for his junior apprentice brother''s return.


    For over 5 days, Christensen patiently waited without receiving any news or clues from de. This morning though, Brutus took the initiative to meet him.


    "It''s faint but I think I just got a scent simr to de''s¡­"


    "Lead me there!" Christensen didn''t even let the Shadow Hound to finish.


    After 30 minutes of searching alongside the Shadow Hound, Christensen finally found him, he found de wandering through the forest like a mad man.


    "¡­" The sight of him shocked Christensen.


    de looked like someone who had gone through a lot.


    Not only was his ck hair dirty and rough, he had injuries at various parts of his body, his clothes were mostly torn, and his eyes were unfocused, he looked haggard and lost. de was a shadow of his former self.


    "¡­" Christensen was speechless for over a minute.


    When he recovered his bearing, his eyes turned watery.


    "de¡­"


    He no longer hesitated, he rushed out to hug his brother.


    Shing!


    "Holy¡­!"


    "Wait, it''s me¡­! Christensen!"


    de staggered as he looked up at the familiar face. "Oh, it''s you¡­!"


    He could not finish his sentence, he copsed and fainted. Before he could fall down on the cold ground, Christensen caught him.


    ¡­


    Blink!


    de opened his eyes to feel warmth all around his body.


    Without even needing to rely on his vision, he already knew where he was. His strong instincts as a Pugilist enabled him to detect his immediate surroundings as soon as he woke up, he let his eyes limatize to the afternoon light.


    A few secondster, he looked down and noticed a thick nket covering him which exined the warmth. Poseidon''s Fury was at his side.


    Something else that he noticed was a familiar snout sniffing him.


    "Brutus¡­" He instinctively said before pushing the snout aside.


    "Don''t move too much, you''re still weak". Christensen conveniently said as he stirred the herbal medicine in the cauldron to perfectly sync with the heat.


    A few minutester, he brought down the medicine to feed his junior apprentice brother. Christensen learned more from his master than just being a Master Summoner, and this was one of the things that he learned.<novelnext></novelnext>


    de looked up at the familiar face before taking the cup to drink. After drinking, he turned to face another side before taking a deep breath.


    Christensen sat down beside him. "What happened¡­?"


    As soon as he asked, he regretted it because from this angle, he was able to see the tears that were already flowing down de''s eyes. This was his first time seeing his junior apprentice brother so vulnerable before him.


    Christensen was lost for what to say. "It''s ok if you can''t¡­"


    "No". de wiped his tears then he turned to look at him. "I''ll tell you everything". And he did.


    After 9 minutes of a sad but reasonably epic narration, both students kept quiet. Christensen was especially more solemn as he went through thest moments of his master before he fell into the hands of the enemies.


    In an instant, memories flooded his head.


    He remembered the first day that he met his master, in his little 15-year old form. Then, when Mr. Damien introduced him, he thought the boy was silly, he never expected even in his wildest dreams for this boy to be his master.


    His memories shed to his training with his master in the ind after his blunders in Palm Ind. From there, they shed to all the times that his master stayed reliable, intervening to save him out of trouble and death.


    He remembered when his master took de in, he remembered how jealous he somehow felt inside at first and now he felt it was funny.


    He remembered all the happy moments with his master.


    Without him knowing, tears were already flowing down his eyes.


    "What do you think¡­?"


    "Happened to him?" depleted the question.


    Christensen nodded.


    "I don''t know, but knowing how ruthless they can be, my best guess is that he''s either dead or he already turned into one of Clown''s test subjects".


    Christensen closed his eyes for a few minutes to calm his head as a lot of things went through his mind.


    "You said they took him in alive". He narrowed his eyes.


    "I think there''s a high chance that he''s still alive, at 16 years of age, Master is too much of an anomaly for a scientist like the Clown to ignore".


    His eyes shed as he turned to face de. "We can save him!"


    de''s reaction showed that he was not as optimistic as him. "We can''t fight the Clown Society Chris, we simply don''t have the power".


    As he said this, de felt even more sad as he clenched his fists.


    Christensen didn''t seem to listen to him though, his eyes shed like he just got a hint. "What were hisst words again?"


    de turned to look at him.


    "Tell me, please".


    de sighed. "Don''t make myst stand useless you fool, escape and tell the heroics of how I faced 6 powerful assassins alone, also tell him to check for ''Hell''".


    Instantly after thest part, Christensen''s eyes lit up. "Hell? That''s it!"


    "What?"


    "I think that''s it, in ourst hideout while staging as the Monster Triad Assassin unit, while you focused on training, I stayed close to master".


    "I saw him writing some information that he said he''ll sell to the main organizations when they are ready to trade, and one of the subject names started with Hell¡­, I think".


    de narrowed his eyes. "What are you trying to say?"


    "That Master left us a clue¡­, a clue that''ll potentially help us save him".


    "¡­" de looked at his senior apprentice brother.


    He looked down. "You think you can pull it off?"


    "There''s a high chance¡­"


    "I no longer want to bank on chances". Surprisingly, de''s voice was calmer as he said this, his brain seemed to have gained more rity.


    He looked up at his senior apprentice brother. "My whole life, I''ve tried to live by the temte of those better than me since I thought it was the temte of sess, I''ve always tried to be the good boy, the good de¡­"


    He clenched his fists. "The good son, the good student".


    "Where have that gotten me? Nowhere".


    "I lost my tribe and my mom while being too weak to do anything".


    "I lost my master while still being too weak to do anything".


    "Chris, I''m tired of not doing anything".


    "I''m tired of being the only survivor". His eyes now shone with much more conviction. "After meeting you, my brain cleared up a lot and I''ve made my choice the same way that you''ve made a choice that you think is best for you".


    "I want to embrace my nickname, I am de".


    "I want to be the de that will cut through everything, I no longer want to stay passive, that was my problem, I was never a passive warrior".


    "But¡­"


    "I''ve made up my mind".


    de stood up. "My life goal is hunting the Clown Society".


    "I will do it, I''ll no longer stay passive".


    "If the price for this decision is my life, I''ll dly take it rather than keep on being the survivor and living like a zombie".


    de didn''t allow Christensen to talk any further.


    He grabbed Poseidon''s Fury and walked deeper into the Barren Forest.

 Chapter 258 Captivity

    -----


    Warning! Your Health Points are below 10%!


    Countdown to Death


    10¡­, 9¡­


    ----


    Legs was horrified by the virtual interface notification.


    For a long time, he already lost track of time since he was captured. After he was captured, he didn''t even see where he was going since he passed out. But after regaining himself, he could see nothing due to extreme exhaustion.


    His eyes were too heavy, he could not open them.


    The only thing that appeared before him was his virtual interface. And it was not any soul-lifting notifications, it was always notifications about freaking death!


    His heart literally leapt out of his throat as he saw this recent notification.


    ''F*ck! Since when did the interface started doing countdown to death?!''


    Even as he was freaking out, he was also amazed by the fact that despite being too weak and exhausted his brain was so active.


    Amid his inner turmoil, he heard them again¡­


    "The test subject''s life signals are fluctuating again".


    "Prepare to inject the¡­"


    Legs felt the familiar watery stream enter his body through his smooth bottom as every sound faded away again, leaving only his virtual interface.


    -----


    Warning! Your Health Points have only stabilized at 10%!


    ----


    Legs could finally heave an inner sigh of relief.


    He didn''t know how long it had been, but this was his routine during all this time. It was so frequent that he felt like he was going crazy already.


    He felt annoyed and irritated. ''When will this torture end?''


    ng!


    "¡­"


    Legs''s mind paused, he was surprised by the new sound so early.


    Originally, after the watery stream entered his body and all sound disappeared, it would stay that way for a long time so why the difference today.


    While he spected a lot of things, he heard a familiar voice.


    "Inject him with the Adrenaline 0-PG13 shot".


    "¡­" Legs felt goosebumps at hearing this familiar voice.


    -----


    You have been swept by an energy check!


    ----


    After a long time of ignoring him, Clown finally visited.


    Legs felt a little anxious, due to his severe injuries, his telepathic connection with his beasts became looser than ever before.


    He felt worried. ''What have been the developments in my absence?''


    ''Is Clown already the King of the?''


    ''Are my students dead?''


    The thoughts and worries in his head were too much that his brain activity spiked, but it didn''t matter much since an unfamiliar watery stream entered his body. The next moment, Legs felt energy returning to him.


    He opened his eyes to see a brightly-illuminated chamber.


    Due to his familiarity with the style, he instantly recognized that this was aboratory, a big one and Legs had a great bet that this was located at the headquarters of the Clown Society in the Hellfire Mountains.


    As he strained to adapt to the bright lighting and observe more, a familiar part flesh and part mechanic face arrived before him.


    "You don''t look as surprised as I would have expected". This psychopath had a curious look on his face. "Have you been kidnapped before?"


    His eyes turned weird. "Or have you been to aboratory before?"


    "¡­"


    Legs did not reply, not that he could even if he wanted, he was still too weak to be able to utter any coherent word.


    Clown continued. "Well, you are a special one indeed".


    "16 years of age, yet you already are so strong and have so many achievements". He scrutinized Legs. "You definitely have a big secret".


    "Normally, I would like to ask you but I have a better way".


    "When you be my next Bio-Mechanic monster, you will unconditionally obey me, you''ll tell me all about your secrets then, I''m patient". He chuckled.


    "You''re a precious test subject, so expect princely treatment".


    "Hehe¡­" This mad scientist rubbed his hands excitedly.


    Clown gave orders as the assisting machines turned the test subject around, while he was turned around, Legs used that opportunity to look.


    This was when he discovered that thisboratory was ridiculouslyrge, it''s space alone was like a mansion which reinforced his take that this was the volcano.


    Apart from that, there were 3 more valuable test subjects like him here. A gigantic Cockroach monster, a Flying Mantis with Dragon Wings, and a Crocodile.


    Whirr!


    As he heard the sound of machinery, Legs felt his heart leap.


    At the moment of his capture, he already configured his mind for a lot of things but at the D-moment, he felt his conviction failing. Legs felt fear as he thought of all the horrifying things that this mad scientist could do to him.


    Clown spent a few minutes looking through the previous scan reports, and for an hour, he continued and did his ownprehensive scan of the test subject.


    "Interesting¡­, what an interesting test subject¡­"


    His voice wasced with pure excitement and fascination, it was that excitement consistent of crazy scientists who found objects of their passions.<novelnext></novelnext>


    To Clown, Legs was already one of his best test subject samples.


    WHIRR!


    The next moment, the machinery sound increased, Legs felt his heart skip a beat. That was the least of his problems, what followed was an experience that Legs will not forget all his lives, the machine dug into his skin.


    "Umm¡­Guaggrrhaaaa¡­!!!"


    Legs tried to bear it but he could not, he literally roared in pain as the machine delicately sliced into his skin.


    Incoherent words flowed out of his mouth amid his screaming.


    "Hahaha¡­!"


    "Hehehe¡­, prime test subject!" Clownughed amid Legs''s painful screams, the screams seemed to give him joy and fuel his passion for his work.


    Legs'' outer skin was literally peeled off by this machine, the pain was searing and unbearable, his virtual interface kept on bringing notifications.


    After peeling it off, Clown brought his magnum opus, Giant runes.


    After experimenting on himself, Clown''s research increased by leaps and bounds, he recognized some mistakes that he made and he improved.


    After then, he was able to transnt the runes of a Giant into normal harvested beast scales. His theory was that imnting these rune scales on human flesh had a higherpatibility than direct rune imntation.


    These were part of his experiment to get the ultimate body for evolution.


    Legs, the strange boy became histest test subject. All his previous test subjects died, but he had faith that this boy was different.


    "Prove to me that you are different!" His eyes shone with a crazy glint.


    As he imnted the scale runes into the boy''s skin, Legs felt like he was in hell and back. The searing hot sensation, the feeling like a thousand ants were drilling through his flesh, Legs felt like he was going crazy.


    His endurance was dragged to the very limits.


    Legs screamed and gaggled in pain till he went into a seizure.


    -----


    Warning! An ipatible organic tissue is being imnted in your body!

    Ipatibility issues reduced¡­, body still rejecting foreign tissue¡­


    ----


    Clown watched the scanners attentively with hopeful eyes.


    Like all his previous human test subjects, Legs''s body aggressively rejected the foreign tissue, this continued till at one point¡­, the rejection suddenly lessened!


    Clown''s eyes gleamed sharply.


    "He''s different!" He dered sharply as he ordered for more adrenaline doses, they helped Legs and gave him the energy to pass through the critical stage.


    After 20 minutes of torture, Legs passed out but for the moment, he was safe. His body still rejected it but to a slightly milder extent.


    Clown jumped excitedly at his sess. "I did it!"


    "I f*cking did it!"


    After a few seconds of celebration, he finally stopped and checked the data. He finished checking all the facts in 2 minutes before ordering his assistants.


    "Take him to the Abyss hole to recover in the darkness".


    "Yes, your Excellency, but what of his beast?"


    "¡­" Clown paused, then he waved his hand dismissively. "Dump him there too, the beast may survive if they''re lucky".


    "If not, no problem, I already got my data".


    "As for him¡­" He looked at Legs and smirked. "My experiment was a partial sess, I have a strong hunch that he''ll survive".


    "Yes, your Excellency!"


    They moved the unconscious test subject who already partially outlived his usefulness and his beast before dumping them in the gigantic hole, the Abyss hole.


    Since he was also weak, Predator could not resist.


    Thud!


    Predator''s senses were assaulted by the thick scent of death, a lot of test subjects have been dumped here, the total darkness also embraced him.


    Instantly after entering the darkness, though he was unconscious, Legs''s virtual interface lit up another notification.

 Chapter 259 A Vengeful Pugilist

    In the blink of an eye, 3 days already passed.


    Inside Clown''s personal researchb¡­


    Whirr!


    The sound of machinery reverberated as the rotating sharp edge of the machine de cut into the flesh of a gigantic monster shaped like a Cockroach.


    Clown had a look of focus on his face as he worked on this monster.


    After his little experiment on his prime human test subject, the news that Legs survived even in the Abyss Hole excited him to no end. In his opinion, Legs survived only because of the power of the Giant runes.


    This was a more practical application of the runes than his previous ones.


    Instantly, he decided to revise his application on some of his best works.


    Apart from the Giant that he already turned into a Pseudo-Grade B destruction monster, Clown stocked on more prime test subjects over the years.


    Decades ago, discovering the tomb of the Ancient Giants widened his horizons, this was when he brought a twist to his Bio-Mechanic beast dream.


    This was when he took it a step further and decided to try powering up the strongest and sturdiest of these sessful test subjects into the ultimate killing machines, the perfect world that he envisioned for them to thrive was one of chaos.


    This was another reason why he theorized the order of chaos.


    Over the decades of his work, apart from the Giant, the Undying Cockroach, the Draconic Flying Mantis, the Draconic Crocodile, and the most recent Legs were his best sess examples.


    His ultimate goal was turning all 5 sesses into the ultimate monsters.


    After what he learned through Legs, he decided to upgrade the Undying Cockroach first. Out of all the monsters, it had the most ridiculous endurance and vitality by a mile, it was called the Undying Cockroach for a reason.


    Also, it had the mostpatibility with Giant runes.


    He theorized that upgrading this monster''s defense and adding this to its already ridiculous endurance would turn it into the perfect killingbination.


    Whirr!


    While working on the monster, one of his subordinates who was not a research assistant of his work came in. Clown did not answer him, he had to wait for over an hour after the Almighty was done before he was attended to.


    ? "Sess¡­" Clown gazed affectionately at the Undying Cockroach.


    Unlike before when it only radiated the feeling of a monster that could take a beating without sumbing, it now had a sturdy aura of invincibility also.


    In his happy mood, Clown turned to face his subordinate.


    This psychopath bowed respectfully. "Your Excellency¡­, the progress of the Grade C Superhumans is increasing rapidly, there are more than 10 new Grade C Superhumans already in their alliance".


    Unlike what this psychopath expected, Clown had an entirely different reaction as he cackled maniacally.


    "Hahaha¡­!"


    "Good!"


    "Let them gather more Grade C Superhumans!"


    "The more the better¡­, if they''re too few, they won''t give my monsters much of a challenge, I need to show the world that I''m the best".


    "I need to show them all that I''m the greatest of all time".


    "I need to show that old geezer than I''m better than him". His eyes gleamed with great ambition and determination.


    ¡­


    Every hour that passed, the tension in the air increased.


    Of course, the chaos still caused wars and incredible battles across the shelters all over the but these were all small impact wars, what was causing this tension was an entirely different monster.


    After over a week of taking the shame of the shift in power, the Grade C Superhumans of Darvis could no longer take it, they started mobilizing.


    After just 3 days, there were already more than a dozen Grade C Superhumans in the alliance, this was apletely ridiculous coalition of power.


    If unleashed on any part of the, they were weapons of mass destruction that couldy entire cities to waste.


    This was the cause of the tension, most low-grade superhumans and civilians could already feel iting, the decisive showdown and battle.


    The battle to determine the rulers of Darvis.


    The battle between the Clown Society and the Grade C Alliance.


    After the death of another Grade C Superhuman just yesterday, the alliance finally kicked off for real. The threat of the Giant was no longer a vain threat, all the Grade C Superhumans saw its threat and sought to eliminate him.


    As more Grade C Superhumans came, Core Protector Shanks finally felt that it was time to take thest steps, he teleported out of their hideout.


    Bzzz!


    His destination was the headquarters of the Elementalist Academy.


    After a short trip, Core Protector Shanks arrived.


    Sizzle!


    Like always, Newton Barnes was engrossed in his experiments.


    As soon as he arrived after bypassing through all the defense of this building, Core Protector Shanks did not care for courtesy this time.


    "Whose side are you on?" He asked as he stared fearlessly at this legend who once terrorized the super world of this in his heydays.


    Newton''s hand shook as soon as he was interrupted, this was taboo!


    Few people dared to interrupt his experiments. He turned to look at the Core Protector who fearlessly returned his gaze, the atmosphere instantly turned heavy.


    Click!<novelnext></novelnext>


    The heaviness onlysted a short while.


    Newton finally dropped the beaker and stood properly, he looked at Shanks. "Would you really have me fight my student so much?"


    "If it is to save our, then I''m sorry, I''ll have to".


    Newton calmly looked at him. "I''ll give the Elementalists of my organization the freedom to help in the efforts to defeat the terrorists, this is as far as I go".


    "I won''t fight my student, unless you think you can make me do it". This time, his gaze was sharper as he looked at the Core Protector.


    Core Protector Shanks looked back at him. "Sometimes you''re just so difficult and impossible to grasp, I''ll take you to your word".


    "But¡­, do not interfere in the battle if you''re not helping us".


    "If you try to save Norman, I would be forced to fight you". Core Protector Shanks briefly let his powerful energy loose as spatial fractures appeared in the air.


    Newton simply stared back at him without replying.


    Before the Core Protector left, this Elementalist stopped him and asked a question. "What about thete King? What are your ns about the throne?"


    Core Protector Shanks paused. "I heard that there were survivors from the rampage on the royal pce, if we win against the Clown Society, I will choose the best candidate from them to seed Tom as King".


    Newton calmly looked at this Summoner without saying a word.


    Bzzz!


    Core Protector Shanks finally left.


    As soon as he left, Newton''s eyes flickered. ''The concept of Kings¡­, fickle¡­''


    ¡­


    "Special Talent: Speed!"


    Instantly after his talent triggered, de''s eyes turned pitch-ck.


    "Special Talent: Precognition!"


    "Special Talent: Swordsman!"


    "Special Talent: Ultimate Pugilist!"


    Whoosh!


    de moved with the speed of a Cheetah, the uracy and vision of an Eagle, and a ridiculous precision that was already notorious of him.


    The psychopaths that were before him were already nothing more than bloody corpses to him, he did not hesitate, Poseidon''s Fury resonated with him as this powerful sword fueled his hate and turned it into tangible power.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    None of the psychopaths could withstand his crazy power.


    A few sidesteps, a few feints, and a few precise stabs and shes, and 17 psychopaths 2 of which were Red Masters were left in pools of their own blood.


    de grabbed the 18th psychopath, a Red Master by the throat and mmed him against the wall as his head bled heavily.


    He stared into this psychopath''s eyes as his pitch-ck eyes radiated incredible ferocity, rage, and hatred, this Elementalist shuddered.


    "Tell¡­ me¡­ where¡­ he¡­ is!" He stressed every syble to dramatic effect.


    After making his decision 3 days ago, de did not hesitate, he went to fulfill his life mission with gusto. His onlypanion in this journey was the Nine-lives Cat that he got from the Elemental ne.


    After separating for some time when he was trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and regret, he reunited with the Cat after making his decision.


    With this Cat, de channeled all his hate and rage against the psychopaths.


    Within just 3 days, he killed over 300 psychopaths of which 6 were Grade D Red Masters. After 3 days of ughter, he already mastered the use, alternation, andbination of his myriad talents that he became the perfect killer.


    He gradually discovered that his real talent was in killing.


    A day ago, he caught news of one of the ck Masters of the Clown Society wreaking havoc nearby and was what attracted him.


    He was not satisfied with Red Masters; his real goal was ck Masters.


    ''I will kill them all¡­!" His incredible hate and rage already erased rationality.


    He now saw himself as the executioner''s de to execute the Clown Society, his life goal was now to only kill. He would keep on killing and killing till he was killed or the organization called the Clown Society finally became dust.


    "Tell me where he is!"


    "Tell me who he is!"


    This Red Master stammered as his fear was expressed helplessly. "P-please, spare my life, I only heard about it recently¡­"


    "TELL ME WHO HE IS!!!"


    de''s voice exerted a psychological effect on this psychopath that instantly forced his mouth open to speak the truth.


    After the mindless killing, his Master of Debuffs talent unlocked another Debuff ability called Psychological Suppression.


    Instantly, the psychopath broke.


    His eyes turned pitch-ck also, his words were broken and barely coherent.


    "ck¡­ Master Abaddon".


    "T¡­unic¡­ Shelter".


    de''s pitch-ck eyes reflected the light of the day, with one smooth motion, he beheaded this Red Master and continued his holy mission.

 Chapter 260 Crazy Scientist

    "Inject them with the Adrenaline 0-PG13 shots".


    "Yes, your Excellency".


    A few minutester, the screams followed¡­


    "Ahhhh¡­.!!!"


    "Wagugaga¡­!!!"


    "F*ck your Ancestors!!!"


    "F*ck your Lineage and Generations¡­, Ahhh¡­!!!"


    "Please¡­, please spare my life, I have a family¡­"


    "Ahh¡­!"


    Boom!


    Multiple bodies exploded into a bloody mess in this researchb.


    Instead ofughing maniacally which was characteristic of him, this time, a gloomy frown engulfed Clown''s face as he looked at the results of histest experiments and the data that was being disyed on theputer.


    "How¡­?" He asked in a puzzled tone as his frown deepened.


    After confirming yesterday after his experiment with Legs that humans could naturally survive the rigors of Giant rune imntation, he immediately kickstarted an ambitious n of his that he had envisioned long ago.


    If he realized this ambition, he would be able to imnt Giant runes into every single living human in Darvis, essentially fulfilling his longtime dream.


    During the old era, Newton Barnes mostly known by the old generation as the Chemical Demon built a name for himself through his research results.


    At first, Newton became a chemist to make his powers as an Elementalist more lethal and be the strongest superhuman in the.


    After developing his strength to a peak though, he diverted his attention to improving human life. Through most of the chemical products and tonics that he made, humans increased theirpatibility with super energy.


    This contributed a lot in the golden age of superhumans that followed.


    With this, Newton became a legend of Darvis.


    Clown wanted to emte his master, not just emte but exceed him.


    He believed that if he could integrate Giant runes in every human, he would essentially contribute to the evolution of the human race which would automatically make him the greatest legend that ever-graced Darvis.


    The only problem now was that his n was not working.


    He looked at the bloody mess that were left of his test subjects with a troubled look on his face. "What went wrong¡­?"


    "Where did I go wrong?"


    "What am I missing?"


    After thinking for minutes, he turned to his assistants with a crazy look on his face and ordered. "Bring in more test subjects!"


    "Yes, your Excellency".


    Just a few minutester, screams filled this researchb as they echoed across this hideout loudly. What followed after the screams were explosions and bloody pieces of flesh flying everywhere like slingshots.


    Thisb became tainted with a deep aura of death, Clown was used to it though so he didn''t react much to it.


    He still frowned due to what he discovered. "Ipatibility¡­"


    "My body suppressed the ipatibilityplications because of my Grade C energy, what of Legs?"


    His eyes narrowed. "I thought he finally epted it because I got it right".


    "Is Legs the only test subject that is below the Grade C realm that can ept Giant rune imntation?"


    "Does this mean I can''t fulfill my n?" He clenched his fists.


    "No!" His eyes shed crazily. "There has to be a way!"


    "Bring me Legs!"


    "Yes, your Excellency".

    You have been protected from immediate death by the lethal dark energy by your organic connection with the Nightmare Beast- Predator!


    Due to the extremely high concentration of Dark Abyss energy, Predator''s gains are partially transferring to you through your organic connection!<novelnext></novelnext>


    You have received a temporary partial Darkness Regeneration passive ability!


    [Regeneration Rate: 10 HP every second and 5 MP every second!]


    ----


    This regeneration rate was incredible and it was only possible due to Predator, Legs turned to look at his beast who was going through an incredible state at the moment due to the extreme concentration of dark energy.


    The same way that Darvis had connections to the Elemental ne, the beast ne, and the underworld, it also had connections to the Abyss.


    This hole in the Hellfire Mountains was one of these rare locations that connected to the Abyss, some of the Abyss'' dark energy leaked here.


    Originally, few survived being exposed to this potent dark energy.


    Legs was not sure if his captors knew about the unique abilities of Nightmare Beasts since Elementalists were predominant in the Clown Society.


    Exposed to the potent dark energy, Predator entered a rapid growth state. His growth was so rapid that he had to be covered by a ck crystalline cocoon and inside this cocoon, Legs observed his beast growing every second.


    In just the past day since being dumped here, Predator already leveled up twice from the potent dark energy seeping into his body.


    It would not take much longer before Predator evolved to the Grade C realm.


    Legs felt mixed feelings. ''Can I call this a blessing or a curse¡­?''


    ''Definitely a blessing!''


    Predator''s opportunity was the only reason why he was not yet dead. Through the regeneration that he got through his connection with his beast, he was able to offset the limatization process to the Magic Rune.


    Due to this crazy opportunity that fell into his hand, Legs''s brain already became active as a lot of ns went through his head but he mostly shelved them for the moment as something upied his mind.


    ''How did the virtual interface deal with mypatibility issue?''


    He still vividly remembered the moment, one moment he thought he was going to die and the next, after recalibrating, everything changed.


    Legs narrowed his eyes. ''This recalibration, I also remembered it''s intervention when I was using my Gacha Pull chances''.


    ''It helped me get Lucky through the Gacha Pull''.


    He looked down at his hands. ''Is this recalibration helping me?''


    ''Was it made by the so-called God of Games?'' Though it was already a long time ago, he still didn''t forget the letter from the God of Games.


    Though Legs was extremely curious to know the truth now, the more he asked, the more it became apparent to him that he could not know it now.


    He looked at himself. ''I need to get stronger to know the truth behind these mysteries''. As he spoke, his curiosity was already being aroused again.


    Thud!


    While he soliloquized, his captors suddenly jumped into the hole with special suits that protected them from the dark energy.


    As soon as Legs noticed them, he moved fast to kick Predator''s cocoon which rolled deeper into the hole out of their sight.


    "He''s still alive". This psychopath''s tone betrayed his surprise.


    "Grab him and tie him up!"


    "We''re moving up!"


    Legs did not resist, he let them carry him up. All he did was recite some mental mantras that he remembered to firm his will against theing suffering.


    He knew that he was about to undergo another round of experiments.


    This was the price to pay as a captive of a crazy scientist.


    Legs distracted himself even as Clown started observing his body with pure amazement at how much he adapted to the Magic Runes.


    ''What will happen after the limatization process ends?''


    ''At this rate, Predator would evolve soon, I need to n ahead¡­''


    He barely finished when the crazy scientist started.


    Legs bit his tongue, tearing his lips as blood flowed. "Agggrhh¡­!!!"


    "F*ck¡­!"


    Amid his screams, one word filled his mind. ''Enjoy it while itsts''.


    ''My retaliation won''t be long now¡­''


    ''I''m gonna f*ck you behind so hard you won''t live to remember it!''


    ¡­


    While her father was tortured inside a secret researchb, faraway from Darvis, a certain Fox felt her father''s distress.


    ''Dad¡­''

 Chapter 261 Luckys Return

    "You miss your dad?"


    The gigantic Yellow Fox rose up as she turned to look at her Master with aplicated look on her eyes. "It''s not me missing him¡­"


    "I think¡­" She looked down. "I think my Master is in danger".


    "I think something is going on in my home".


    The White Fox reacted with concern on hearing that as she looked down at her student. Since taking on Lucky as her student, this powerful White Fox despite her exalted status brought herself down to properly instruct the Fox.


    To her, Lucky carried the destiny of all Foxes across the cosmos.


    Because of that alone, she sacrificed all her leisure time to monitor and properly teach the Fox on how to maximize her potential and quickly turn it into real power that would gradually take her to the pinnacle of strength.


    Lucky did not disappoint her, after 6 months of diligent progress, the Yellow Fox showed her potential as Lucky evolved into the next stage.


    Lucky was now a Grade C Gxy Fox!


    By consolidating all the potentials of her bloodline with her experiences and the teaching from her Master, Lucky became the ultimate Grade C Fox Monster!


    The day that she broke through, though the whole Ind did not get to celebrate, inside her World Illusion, the Illusion Emperor gave her 2 learning students 2 weeks of celebration time to properly celebrate this milestone.


    After Lucky''s feat, she felt even more zeal to invest more in the Fox.


    Over the months, Lucky already grew close to her and the others that she already saw here as her home, she never expected Lucky to speak of her real home again and she never expected the reason to be her father being in danger.


    Instantly after hearing it, a thought to go eliminate all the enemies and bring her father here was the first thing that entered the mind of this powerful Grade S Fox but she remembered something.


    She looked down at Lucky with aplicated look on her face, as she looked, her mind shed back to that day as it still seemed like just yesterday¡­


    The mighty Grey Fox looked down at her small formpared to him. "Ariel, you are talented, but talent alone cannot cut it at times".


    "Being exposed to adventures and danger is the real way to grow".


    "Real exposure to action is the real catalyst for growth to be strong".


    "You can''t stay under my banner forever, that way, you won''t fulfill your full potential, you need to go out and experience the world to fulfill your potential".


    "But Master¡­"


    "No more!" He ruthlessly cut her off.


    He smiled ruefully. "You may see me as invincible but I''m far from it, very soon, I may have to make a difficult decision to search for more action".


    "This part of the cosmos is already too small for me".


    "There is so much more to our universe".


    "Ariel, go and get power". He turned to look at her. "If you are able to fulfill your potential, perhaps, one day, we may meet again".


    That was thest day that the Illusion Emperor saw her Master, George the Space Conqueror of the Fox Race. That was also thest day that any other Fox saw him, he seemed to have really left to find more action.


    As the White Fox remembered this moment, she suddenly made a decision.


    "Lucky".


    "Yes, Master".


    "You''ve exceeded your time under my tutorship". Her eyes sparkled brightly. "Now is the time for you to go seek more excitement and adventures".


    "Go into the world and seek power".


    "If you fulfill your potential and be powerful enough, you may meet me again". As Ariel said this, she felt like her tone imitated a certain Fox so urately that her cheeks instinctively puffed in pride.


    "¡­"


    Lucky looked at her Master cluelessly as a thought crossed her mind. ''Is she drunk in another illusion? Cough¡­''


    "Pfft!"


    "Ahem¡­" Helena cleared her throat awkwardly but she still couldn''t hold herughter, this Blue Fox rolled inughter.


    The Illusion Emperor was annoyed and embarrassed as she snapped. "What are you doing here?"


    "Nothing". She chuckled. "I just wanted to inform Lucky that one of her consorts have broken a limit and is also evolving".


    "Oh, who?"


    "Redmane".


    Lucky was excited as she jumped up.


    Before they left, Helena turned to face her employer. "By the way, it was cool and all but your wording is still far below George''s".


    "Get lost!"


    The Blue Fox chuckled and floated out of the World Illusion.


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    Redmane''s breakthrough was much more dramatic than usual.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Excitement and ecstasy shone from the eyes of this Red Fox as a massive power filled his body. He paid no attention to all the spectators that watched his breakthrough, all his attention was focused on himself.


    He harnessed the rampaging energy to energize his body and mind.


    ''I finally did it!''


    ''My gamble to go to a random surface paid off afterall!''


    ''I finally got an epiphany¡­, I finally did it!''


    As the unusual breakthrough continued,sting longer than any other Fox had gone through in this Ind, the attention of the Illusion Emperor herself was drawn. This powerful Fox spread her epassing energy check outside.


    She saw Lucky, Helena and others watching but as soon as she looked, her eyes narrowed as she detected a strange energy inside this Red Fox.


    Her eyes soon started shining in amusement and surprise.


    "He actually escaped my detection at the beginning, such unique concealment powers¡­, who are you exactly?"


    One scrutinizing look was all she needed to know that this was just a doppelganger of a much more powerful Red Fox, what amazed her was the incredible proficiency to fool even a powerhouse like her before.


    This Fox could not continue fooling her though.


    "Grand Fox Ability: God Eyes!"


    Her eyes turned into a replica of the starry skies the next moment as she prated the concealment of the veil, instantly, her vision travelled through stars far away till she arrived in a gigantic.


    It was a terraformed that was turned into a gigantic floating war house, every single part of this was coated with sturdy metal armor.


    "A stronghold this fierce¡­, he''s a rogue Warlord". The Illusion Emperor was even more intrigued as she continued following the traces.


    She soon arrived at the heart of this where hidden thousands of meters underneath the ground hovered a gigantic Red Fox close to the core.


    The core of this was not normal, it was already artificially augmented to be much more powerful and potent, it was like a superscaled power reactor. This gigantic Red Fox drank the power from this core.


    After the epiphany in her pce, this Grade A Red Force finally broke a limit and finally exceeded the barrier that held him back for centuries.


    Redmane''s breakthroughsted 4 solid hours!


    After all themotion, a new Grade S Fox was born!


    "I won''t pursue this, but you''ll have to pay for making use of my resources".


    The new Grade S Fox was humble. "Yes, Illusion Emperor".


    "Thank you for this opportunity, I will never forget it".


    Ariel said nothing as she finally retreated with her consciousness. Back in her pce, Lucky and the others were ecstatic as Redmane''s evolution was finallypleted, the long time it took sent their nerves flying erratically.


    While they celebrated Redmane bing a Grade C Fox, Lucky finally excused herself after some time to go meet her senior apprentice brother.


    ¡­


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Lucky arrived at Genji''s personal chambers in their master''s Illusion World to see him training again. This Yellow Fox''s sword moved as elusively as light itself, slicing everything including darkness into bits.


    After a thousand shes in just a few seconds, Genji finally turned as he turned to face his junior apprentice sister.


    This Yellow Fox smiled. "You''re leaving?"


    "Yes, Master gave me permission to leave".


    After 6 months, Lucky was no longer that newborn and na?ve Star Fox, she already experienced a lot of things that made her mature during this period.


    "I''ll miss you". She walked closer to Genji.


    The Yellow Fox smiled. "If you want to meet me again, like Master said, train hard and if you can, surpass me". His eyes glinted in a challenging manner.


    Lucky smiled. "I''ll find you after I surpass you".


    "I''ll be waiting". Genji''s smile widened. "But it won''t be easy".


    The 2 apprentice disciples enjoyed theirst time together before finally bidding each other farewell, Lucky returned to her master to receive her blessings.


    Ariel muttered only 1 sentence.


    "Take a Unicorn Horse, that is my parting gift".


    Lucky bowed respectfully. "Master, thanks for taking me in your tutge".


    She finally turned to return to her home.


    As she left, she admired this beautiful world onest time. The arctic zone, the desert, the seas, the rain forests and savannah grasnds, everything was beautiful, these were memories that would remain in her mind forever.


    After regrouping with her gang, they all finally left the gigantic Ind floating in space as Unicorn Horses ferried them back to Darvis.

 Chapter 262 Blades Rampage!

    Tunic Shelter¡­


    Boom!


    An explosive sound reverberated as another dozen buildings were obliterated by the powerful punch of the Grade C Pugilist.


    ck Master Abaddon was unbridled in his rampage, his eyes gleamed as an aura of bloodlust radiated from his body.


    After the crazy execution of their decades-long n a week ago and as Clown announced the entrance of the Clown Society into the stage, the psychopaths of the Clown Society became a lot more unbridled.


    With the Grade C Superhumans of the deterred by Clown''s trump card, they had all the freedom to cause chaos across the.


    The upper echelons were not excluded as ck Master Abaddon became the most unrestrained, this maniac had longed for this opportunity.


    Unlike ck Master Einstein and Clown who founded the organization due to their grand ambitions for the order of chaos, this Pugilist didn''t care so much.


    He was a pure Pugilist, all he lived for was violence.


    Violence was Abaddon''s super way. From a young age, living in a hard economy, he learned to survive through violence. Killing his strict employer who abused him and other children opened the dam to his rapid growth.


    Killing his employer stimted him to awaken super energy.


    What followed was simple, Abaddon went on a killing spree. Everywhere that he went, blood followed, he had an uncanny talent for killing.


    At the peak of his powers, Abaddon had an official bounty on his head from over a dozen Shelters, this was rare even for evil rogue Grade C Superhumans.


    He went into hiding due to having too many enemies hunting him down.


    Now, with the Clown Society in power, Abaddon returned to power. In the current chaotic state of the, he was unleashed, he finally felt liberated as his super way could receive expression again after so long.


    He felt that if he caused enough violence, this may be the catalyst for him to break his current boundaries and be a stronger Grade C Pugilist.


    ck Master Abaddon for the past week was at the forefront of the chaos.


    Driven by his violence, he killed and destroyed.


    Having attacked 2 different shelters during the past week, he already shed with 3 different Grade C powerhouses. His targets were mostly Pugilists to test his limits against other practitioners of his domain.


    Today, he set his eyes on a new target to fuel his enduring need for violence, the only Grade C Superhuman in Tunic Shelter.


    Di Castello was a renowned mercenary of the Mercenary Online organization, he was the face of the Tunic Shelter for decades.


    When the chaos started, he took on the task of protecting his shelter.


    Today though, ck Master Abaddon led the charge against them.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    With the powerful Pugilist leading from the front, the psychopaths tore through thepact defenses of the shelter. With this, they liberated the gangs that had been suppressed for the past week, opening a dam of violence.


    Unleashed, the gangsters wrath disaster through this shelter. Due to the sheer number of gangs that were waiting for liberation since, as soon as they were unleashed, their momentum became unstoppable.


    Following the Grade C Pugilist''s lead, chaos finally descended in full in Tunic Shelter as the killing and destruction started in earnest.


    Each punch from this ck Master harvested dozens of lives.


    After killing his way through, leaving a long trail of blood behind him, ck Master Abaddon finally set his eyes on his opponent.


    Di Castello wore his iconic casual brown attire with his brown hat, on his hand was a brown wooden rod, a weapon with an Ancient power that he stumbled upon during his rise to power. This weapon aided his journey to the top.


    He set his eyes on his enemy. "You shouldn''t havee to my domain".


    ck Master Abaddon smirked. "I go wherever I want".


    "Abaddon Specialty: Fist of Destruction!"


    Abaddon had no intentions of trading words, he came for violence.


    "Castello Specialty: Holy Concentration!"


    "Castello Specialty: Bonking Rod of Enlightenment!"


    Whoosh!


    Crack!


    Both abilities collided and it was the airspace that suffered.


    The airspace suffered a massive fracture as chaotic space energy started sipping into the atmosphere. The space crack repaired itself soon after and by this time, both powerful Pugilists were already locked in an intense duel.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Their battle seemed to have the potentials of destroying the world.


    While both Grade C Superhumans battled fiercely and the shelter descended into total chaos, death, and destruction, a pair of cold and ruthless eyes watched everything that happened sharply as the cold eyes rapidly calcted.


    All it took was 3 minutes for de to arrive at a n.


    Having done it for days alone, he already fully unlocked his killing potential. When it was rted to killing and destruction, his brain seemed to work 10 times faster and in much more ingenious ways that he didn''t know of before.


    ''The more I kill, the more I feel that a dam is opening before me''.


    ''I feel like if I kill Abaddon, my current bottleneck will break''.


    This was an extremely ridiculous im, a Grade D superhuman killing a Grade C superhuman was literally unheard of but this was de''s goal.<novelnext></novelnext>


    From the first day that his master called him special, he saw himself as special, meeting Legs perhaps inted his confidence to a level too high.


    He didn''t know how he would do it, he just wanted to do it.


    He clenched his fists. ''I feel a strange power bubbling inside me¡­"


    This strange power inside him pushed de to executing his suicide n, he felt that if he didn''t go through with it, he would regret it all his life.


    Whoosh!


    The figure descended from the skies like a ck de cutting through the skies, to some, this was thest thing that they ever saw alive.


    "Special Talent: Master of Debuffs!"


    "Special Debuff Ability: Demoralizing Roar!"


    "Special Debuff Ability: Disorientation!"


    "Special Debuff Ability: Ear Curse!"


    "Special Talent: Precognition!"


    "Special Talent: Swordsman!"


    "Special Talent: Ultimate Pugilist!"


    "Special Talent: Speed!"


    This was a unique talentbination that de already mastered.


    As soon as the debuffs took effect, the dozens of enemies that surrounded him became disoriented, they could not even pinpoint the intruder anymore.


    Following this effect was the Ear Curse as they started hearing the most annoying song that they''ve ever listened to on a loop, this disoriented them even more. Considering how packed this ce was, the effects were amplified.


    This was not all, with the Demoralizing Roar, their opportunistic attacks against him became reduced, giving de more room and time to maneuver.


    Instantly after this, de''s precognition triggered.


    He saw their intentions as over a dozen enemies raised their weapons to attack him at specific angles, he analyzed these angles and instantly devised countermeasures to bypass them with the greatest efficiency.


    With his swordsman talent, Poseidon''s Fury literally sang to him.


    de entered an inspired state as his eyes instantly turned pitch-ck.


    With this, de''s rampage started.


    Whoosh!


    He moved like a Flea, a mutated Bug that became so nimble that it was impossible to catch it. He was not a harmless Flea though, even as he moved erratically, so also did Poseidon''s Fury sh and stab.


    He became a Flea that could bite and stab.


    de left a pool of blood in his wake as he ughtered psychopaths and gangsters who were adamant in dragging this shelter into chaos.


    His rampage instantly attracted attention from all sides.


    Despite the attention that he attracted, de could not be stopped. He carved his way through the enemies like a hot knife through butter.


    His rampage was not chaotic, his rampage was targeted, de started with a target in mind. He smashed his way directly to the battlefield of the elites.


    Once he got close enough, his very being exploded with extremely aggressive Pugilist energy as heunched himself into the skies.


    "de Specialty: Poseidon''s Tsunami sh!"


    Crack!


    de put his all behind this attack, once again, a fracture appeared in the airspace though it was a smaller one.


    ck Master Abaddon did not expect it. Instantly, he felt like he was trapped in an Ocean while being eyed by the predatory eyes of the Ocean God.


    He barely moved before the powerful sh smashed against his shoulder, another reason that dyed his reaction was Di Castello.


    Boom!


    The sharp edge of the sword tore through this Pugilist''s energy shield beforeshing into his skin like a parasite as it tore a few inches in, blood flowed!


    Abaddon barely saved his head!


    de, a Grade D Pugilist injured a Grade C Pugilist!


    Despite the momentous achievement, it was still like a cat biting the tail of a Lion, there were repercussions. Abaddon''s angry eyes turned to re at the Pugilist, de felt his heart skip a beat.


    His pitch-ck eyes constricted.


    "Special Talent: Cell Regeneration!"


    Abaddon turned and punched.


    BOOM!

 Chapter 263 Treading The Thin Line Of Death; Bravery Or Stupidity?

    Instantly after doing it, de discovered the stupidity in doing it.


    He almost wavered and regretted his decision but he remembered one thing, or more urately, he remembered a moment, a word his Master once said.


    ''Christensen, Summoners are not Pugilists or Elementalists, we use our brain more''. This moment floated back into his ears like it was the present.


    At that moment, his master was not speaking to him but de drew inspiration and courage from it. He took the words from the perspective of a Pugilist.


    Instantly after he recalled it, de''s brain geared into overdrive.


    ''If Summoners use more of their brains, what do Pugilists use more of?''


    The question only lingered for a moment in his head before he found the answer. ''Unlike Summoners and Elementalists, we focus on one thing, our body''.


    ''If they use their brain more, we use our body and grit more''.


    ''If they exceed their limits by learning new ss knowledges and performing intelligent feats, we exceed our limits by breaking barriers that were originally epted as impossible for warriors of our caliber''.


    ''We break our limits by relying on our body and grit''.


    ''While they can retreat to strategize, we only forge on and on''.


    ''We never retreat, we never surrender¡­, that is a Pugilist''.


    Even as he came to these realizations, de saw a gigantic figurine of the greatest Pugilist that he had ever witnessed in action appear in his mind.


    In his mind, Jon Stones'' figurine nodded at him in approval.


    This was all that de needed.


    Instantly, the prospects of shing against this powerful Grade C Pugilist no longer was a vague task to de, his priorities became clearer. He now felt that to validate his identity as a Pugilist, he must fight Abaddon.


    This realization opened a dam in de''s head, he achieved a feat that he had never achieved before. On the spot with his life on the line, de seeded in creating a new exclusive Pugilist ability.


    de''s pitch-ck eyes gleamed.


    "Special Talent: Cell Regeneration!"


    "de Specialty: de of Grit!"


    He red at Abaddon. "I AM A PUGILIST!!!"


    The Grade C Pugilist''s hand smashed against the sword sh, the impact that followed was like exploding dominoes.


    BOOM!


    The bright light briefly blinded every spectator who watched.


    The shockwave was mighty, it swept across like a tsunami, drowning a lot of psychopaths who could not hide from its impact on time in its destruction.


    When the light died down, de was in a pool of his own blood.


    He was not lying on the ground, he remained standing but in a squatting position. The force of Abaddon''s fist was so mighty that it strained his stance, the veins in his legs burst as blood flowed due to enduring the mighty force.


    His legs shook even as his eyes remained gleaming in determination.


    As for his hands, it was not much different, his whole body felt like it just went through a heavenly tribtion.


    de felt weak but he grinned. "I survived¡­"


    The thing about every heavenly tribtion was that surviving it granted the recipient more power, surviving a power of this caliber opened de''s eyes to realities of the Pugilist ss that were previously hidden to him.


    "I see¡­" His eyes lifted in ecstasy.


    Inside him, de could feel his Pugilist Energy revolving much faster and bing more potent and concentrated, his power increased even as he was still in this battle of life and death.


    de was not sure but his gut feeling told him that if he continued this battle and survived long enough, he would finally break his limits.


    He grabbed Poseidon''s Fury tighter and red at his enemy. "Bring it on!"


    Shing!


    The sword literally sang with his determination.


    ck Master Abaddon was infuriated, but before he could move, someone did. While he shed against de, Di Castello became a free participant.


    "Castello Specialty: Triple Rod Smash!"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Abaddon felt like hammers mmed against his head, he felt dizzy.


    He did not expect the sudden attack but de did, his Precognition was no joke. Instantly after Abaddon became dizzy, he attacked.


    Whoosh!


    With incredible proficiency, de leaped into the air before digging the sharp tip of his sword into the chest of his opponent who was jolted awake.


    ck Master Abaddon was jolted awake by the searing pain.


    On seeing a Grade D Pugilist''s sword on his chest, this ck Master lost it. The humiliation battered against his senses like the waves of a raging Ocean.


    "You must die¡­!!!" He lost itpletely.


    ck Master Abaddon directly ignored his primary opponent and chased after de, with the focus now on him, de became fully exposed.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Despite the fact that Di Castello constantly attacked and tried to harass him, ck Master Abaddon firmly went after his target in a bid to end his life.


    de saw misery and suffering and bravely digested it all.


    Boom!


    One moment, a fist smashed him into the face of the earth, another moment, his ribs were screaming to be swallowed by the mes of hell, and another moment, he briefly felt that he would die.


    The only factor that kept de alive was his Cell Regeneration talent, even as his vitality was drained like water, he recovered them like a stream.


    de stood his ground even as he was hammered and battered.


    The more Abaddon attacked him, the more Di Castello attacked Abaddon. They both became drenched in their own blood in no time but this was when Abaddon''s advantage showed, he had more vitality than de.


    No matter how ridiculous his Cell Regeneration advantage was, it had a limit, at his wits end already, de decided to cut his losses and kite his opponent.


    Even at the face of death, de still had no intentions of escaping, all he wanted was a means to kite his opponent and oust him to death.


    At this moment, his feat was already legendary. Never in the history of superhumans had a Grade D Pugiliststed so long against a Grade C Pugilist.


    de''s head geared and the first thought that came to him was the Blue Sea.


    "Special Talent: Speed!"


    He turned around and charged towards the gigantic sea.


    ck Master Abaddon did not hesitate to go after him in pursuit, by now, this Pugilist was already horrified and even more humiliated. ''Which monster am I fighting against?''


    ''Which depths of hell did this Demone from?''


    In his 2 centuries of living, he had never encountered a Grade D superhuman that was as ridiculously strong as this young man.


    If de was not his enemy, he would have taken him as his student. Despite this though, he did not hesitate to try killing him, de was a threat that had to be eliminated by all means before he could maximize his incredible potential.


    The intensity of the battle and chase increased.


    Abaddon''s attacks constantly tore the ground open till they arrived at sea, even then, his attacks still sent off earthquakes and tsunamis in the sea.


    de kept on running while asionally attacking his opponent.


    While all this happened, Di Castello remained diligent in attacking Abaddon. Their battlefield already turned into a spectacle to the other warriors.


    Boom!


    Abaddon''s attack cut off the way forward.


    After 10 minutes of attacking, de was finally cornered. Without hesitation, ck Master Abaddon gathered his energy in a bid to finally overwhelm his opponent. de did not back down, he faced it head-on.


    He grinned. "I am a Pugilist!"


    Shing!


    Poseidon''s Fury resonated with his intense emotions and motivation, again, his incredible state enabled him to create another trump card ability.


    "de Specialty: de of Defiance!"


    The de of defiance literally turned the sky dark, the pitch-ck sword energy literally bloated out the glow of the sun out of the sky.


    It flew up towards Abaddon like a horrifying force of nature.


    Abaddon''s attack greeted it head-on. This time, this Pugilist added his all behind his attack as the collision finally happened.


    BOOM!


    Crack!


    Abaddon''s horrifying power overwhelmed de''s unique attack, his weapon could not withstand the force, amid intense vibration, Poseidon''s Fury shattered.


    His weapon shattered but de was not done, the intense power in disy again at this moment granted him another epiphany that opened his eyes.


    de''s pitch-ck eyes devoured all the details and all the power.


    He felt that he was extremely close to breaking the limit already but¡­, something tiny held him back. He clicked his tongue in regret, just a simple push over the edge was all that he needed to break this limit.


    "Will I die here¡­?" de sounded both ironic and mncholic at the same time.


    As soon as he asked this question, he felt a familiar presence.


    Looking up to the skies, the first thing that de saw were strange Horses pulling chariots from space. He finally recognized the familiar face, Lucky!


    Instantly after seeing Lucky, Lucky''s luck glow passive skill spread like a flood that also engulfed him in its radius.


    As the real main character of Version 1, de originally had an incredible amount of luck. With the augmentation of a literal goddess of luck like Lucky, de finally received that simple push that he needed, the dam¡­ broke!


    Instantly, de felt a feeling of liberation engulf his very being, then from the center of his very existence, a new power gushed out of his being.


    BOOM!


    The power and aura of a Grade C Pugilist gushed out like an avnche!

 Chapter 264 The Last Dance!

    de''s breakthrough was no ordinary one.


    Like his master told him, he was indeed special.


    As soon as the feeling of liberation engulfed his very being and the new power started gushing out of his very core, de became akin to a receiver. Different natural forces were called upon by his ongoing breakthrough.


    And all these forces were anchored on him with him as the center.


    Bzzz!


    The first force that arrived was one of gravity. Gravity in this region increased more than 10 times!


    Even as everyone here became so much heavier all of a sudden, another fracture appeared in the airspace as time and space itself became distorted by the rampaging gravitational forces.


    The disturbances in the air at this moment rapidly increased in intensity.


    In just a few seconds, a replica of a ckhole seemed to have been formed.


    Bzzz!


    The space power aggressively went on a rampage like it was cuckholded.


    Amid the infinite distortion of space and time at this moment by the gravitational forces, de became akin to the point of singrity!


    In this state, de''s eyes were opened, epiphany flooded his very being.


    "I see¡­"


    His eyes gleamed. "Singrity¡­, it is the ultimate state of a Pugilist!"


    "A state of infinite mass density¡­"


    "A state of universality¡­"


    "A state of ultra-instinctism¡­"


    This incredible convergence of power formed an incredible moment.


    Even as the shockwaves sted everywhere, creating tsunamis and storms in the Blue Sea, causing disturbances that spread across kilometers, de''s breakthrough continued as his body experienced significant changes.


    The mental part of his breakthrough also continued, even as he understood the essence of a Pugilist, another talent hidden in him also burst out like a predator that had been imprisoned in a cage for over a millennium.


    The Grade C breakthrough was unlike anything de had encountered before. His physique changed, his face changed, everything about him changed.


    de felt like he was being reborn!


    Even as the convergence of energy rippled through his body, cleaning him inside out, de was still conscious enough for his instincts to direct him.


    Abaddon wanted to interfere and end his opponent but the singrity and the incredible amount of distortion caused by gravity deterred him.


    With so much freedom, de got to freely act.


    He looked at the floating shattered pieces of his sword that was given by his master, Poseidon''s Fury. Even as he focused on the metal shards, the convergence of energy moved on its own as it engulfed the floating pieces of metals.


    The next moment, they started glowing a grey color as they were reformed back piece by piece. In 5 seconds, Poseidon''s Fury was fully reformed!


    The reformed de wouldst by the power of gravity for only 10 minutes.


    de raised his right hand to grab it, as soon as he grabbed Poseidon''s Fury, the incredible moment of his breakthrough finally came to an end but the power lingered. His Grade C aura gushed out like an avnche!


    de''s pitch-ck eyes looked down at the sword.


    Then he looked up at ck Master Abaddon who still didn''t seem toprehend what just happened, then he smiled.


    de caressed the edge of the sword. "Fury, it''s ourst dance¡­"


    "Let''s savor and enjoy it to the fullest!"


    Shing!


    The glowing sword instantly resonated with him.


    As de grabbed Poseidon Fury''s hilt and as he resonated with the sword, he briefly turned to look at Lucky. "Don''t interfere, this is mine".


    "It''s ourst dance!"


    His eyes turned pitch-ck again as he red at his opponent.


    "Special Talent: Demi-Singrity!"


    Bzzz!


    de moved and his speed was like the sh!


    ck Master Abaddon and Di Castello were still petrified from amazement of what just happened. de''s breakthrough was such a fascinating and incredible phenomenon that even Grade C Pugilists like them were amazed.


    This feeling of amazement dulled Abaddon''s reaction, not that he could have done much, his eyes widened as he saw the silhouette of a shining ck de.<novelnext></novelnext>


    de concentrated all his power on the single edge of his de.


    "Demi-Singrity Ability: Explosive Burst!"


    "de Specialty: de of Grit!"


    Abaddon could not dodge on time, Fury''s de hit its mark.


    BOOM!


    ck Master Abaddon felt like he was hit by a sledgehammer, a sledgehammer with all it''s force but also with the sharpness of a sword!


    This ck Master''s face twisted in horror and pain.


    He could not withstand it; Fury''s depletely tore his defenses apart like a hot knife slicing through butter. From the abdomen, the sword ruthlessly cut through as this powerful ck Master was dissected into 2 equal parts!


    de''s even more incredible Pugilist energy aggressively ravaged through his innards, Abaddon suffered a damage that could kill Grade C Superhumans!


    "How¡­?!" This ck Master was horrified, his eyes widened.


    The only reason why Abaddon didn''t die immediately was because he was a Pugilist with ridiculous health points, paper sses like Summoner and Elementalists had little to no chances of surviving so much concentrated damage.


    Di Castello who watched from a safe distance was also horrified.


    de frowned. "He didn''t die¡­?"


    His energy started rumbling again for another attack.


    ck Master Abaddon did not hesitate.


    "Abaddon Specialty: Haste Regeneration!"


    Every Grade C Superhuman had life-preservation techniques.


    Instantly after activating this ability, a force of attraction pulled the 2 separate parts of his body as the blood and flesh joined together to form a whole again. Abaddon became whole again but his body was far from whole.


    The terrible injuries from that terrible attack lingered, he looked pale, he expended an incredible amount of his Pugilist Energy to regenerate andstly, his health points were already low.


    Feeling de''s aggressive energy, this Pugilist dared not stay still.


    "Abaddon Specialty: Flight Mode!"


    Boom!


    Abaddon concentrated his remaining energy into an incredible speed force, without hesitation, he turned to escape.


    He barely escaped when de released another sh with his de.


    Feeling the all-epassing sword energy that flew towards him, Abaddon feared for his life. This Pugilist had no doubts that if he was caught in the light of this sword energy, he would really lose his life today.


    Faced before death, Abaddon''s brain worked faster than aputer.


    He inclined his body before diving into the sea with incredible speed.


    de''s eyes creased as soon as his opponent dived into the water, he could barely keep track of him but his face eased as he felt another familiar presence.


    The shockwaves from his breakthrough spread far and wide, and they surely attracted a lot of attention, this attraction drew in a familiar face.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    The Chefron''s mighty roar was like rumbling thunder in a storm.


    Abaddon was fast but before the King of Speed, he was a slowpoke. After 6 months of growth, de and Lucky were not the only ones that developed, this massive Chefron was already a Grade C powerhouse.


    The mighty Chefron ruled the sea, Abaddon was merely an intruder, itboed the powerful Pugilist out of the water as Abaddon coughed blood.


    Abaddon was kicked out only to meet a rampaging de.


    de caught the ck Master by the cor, after exhausting hisst means, Abaddon was already spent as he exhausted his Pugilist energy.


    "Kiddo, welldone".


    de idly appreciated the Chefron even as he red at his opponent, he gave his decree. "You have caused a lot of death, today, you die!"


    "No¡­!!!"


    Amid Abaddon''s growling scream, de stabbed with Fury''s tip.


    The sword effortlessly dug into the opened mouth of the Grade C Pugilist, blood flowed like a fountain, drenching the sea and dyeing it with a shade of red.


    After 2 centuries of living, ck Master Abaddon died!

 Chapter 265 The Key Element; Where?

    Legs screamed so loud and for so long that he lost his voice.


    "Inject him with another Adrenaline 0-PG13 shot".


    Whirr!


    The Adrenaline shot barely got to work on the test subject''s body when Clown continued his experiment. This time, he was not focused on augmenting the test subject more but rather on finding the difference.


    From the result of his experiments on his other human test subjects, he already came to a definite conclusion that the difference lied in Legs.


    His question was now of a myriad form. ''Why is Legs different?''


    ''What is different about him?''


    ''Is he not a human?''


    ''How can he be the only one with a lowpatibility with Giant Runes?''


    His questions were numerous and the only way that he could find an answer to them was dissecting this human again to find that biological difference.


    Despitepletely ravaging through Legs''s bodypletely, Clown could not find it, he could not find the tangible difference that changed everything.


    He slumped and gave in to his initial conclusion. ''So, it all lies in him''.


    ''He is the special one¡­''


    One of his assistants suddenly interrupted him.


    "Sir, the test subject has passed out".


    Clown waved his hands absentmindedly. "Inject him with regeneration shots and vitality enhancing shots before taking him back to the Abyss Hole".


    "Yes, your Excellency".


    A few minutester, Legs was dumped inside the hole.


    Thud!


    The impact woke him up and what followed was a virtual interface notification, fully rousing him out of his tiredness.


    -----


    You have been protected from immediate death by the lethal dark energy by your organic connection with the Nightmare Beast- Predator!


    Due to the extremely high concentration of Dark Abyss energy, Predator''s gains are partially transferring to you through your organic connection!

    ¡­


    [Complete Merging process with Magic Runes still in progress¡­]


    [Current Progress Rate: 61%!]


    ----


    Legs''s eyes gleamed. "Not too long now¡­"


    Forcing himself, he creeped to where Predator''s ck cocoon was located. On getting to close proximity, he could feel the vitality of his 1st contracted beast.


    Even till now, Predator was still rapidly devouring the darkness energy of the Abyss as his body and energy constantly grew by the second.


    Legs softly caressed the cocoon. "I''m relying on you buddy¡­"


    While he caressed the cocoon, Legs was jolted awake as amotion started above the hole. It was not a battle but even down below the hole, Legs could feel the shock that was radiating from the scientists above.


    His eyes narrowed. "What happened?"


    "Have the Grade C Superhumans started their attacks?"


    "Or did someone¡­, die?"


    Legs barely asked this question when his virtual interface lit up another notification, and this one stole his breath away.

    [+5% progress in Grade A Mission: Enemy of the Clown Society.]


    [Current Progress Bar: 9.5%]


    ----


    "Holy¡­ Sh*t!" Legs was bbergasted.


    He was bbergasted not just because de killed a ck Master, not just because de became a Grade C Pugilist but because of histest unlocked talent.


    "F*ck! He''s already unlocked Demi-Singrity?!"


    Of de''s myriad talents, this was his most significant and iconic in Version 1, every yer remembered the iconic character.


    de with this talent was prime de!


    With this talent, he was already an existence at Jon Stones'' level.


    ''Damn, my students are already exceeding me''.


    Legs felt both aggrieved and happy at the same time but his greatest worry was about himself, he looked at Predator who was still growing then he looked up at the exit of the hole.


    "After losing a ck Master, what will be Clown''s response¡­?"


    His answer came in the most direct way.


    Thud!


    Psychopaths came in their special protective suits before hauling him away for another round of experiments, this was his punishment for his student''s crime.


    Legs gritted his teeth. ''So help me God''.


    ¡­


    Abaddon''s death did not remain a secret for long.


    As soon as he killed the notorious ck Master, de rallied round and returned to the Tunic Shelter with his lifeless head. While riding on Kiddo''s back, Lucky and her Fox gang followed her from behind.


    With Di Castello''s help and 2 Grade C Foxes, they swept through the forces of the Clown Society with impunity,pletely annihting them.


    No psychopath escaped the boundaries of Tunic Shelter alive.


    As soon as they were done, de turned to face Di Castello. "The ultimate showdown is about to go off, as a Grade C superhuman, you can''t stay neutral".


    "Follow me let''s join the Grade C Superhuman alliance".


    "I can''t, I have obligations to my¡­"


    "To your shelter?" de smirked as he looked at him. "If I didn''te, more than 95% of the citizens of Tunic Shelter would have died today".


    "And who says Abaddon would not have overpowered you in the end?"


    "If you really want to save Tunic Shelter from further disasters, join us in our attempt to get rid of the Clown Society once and for all".


    Though Di Castello still felt hesitant, in the end he agreed. Having witnessed de''s incredible might once, he didn''t feelfortable rejecting him.


    Before leaving, de turned to face Kiddo. "Will you apany me?"


    Instead of roaring, the Chefron spoke, de was surprised. Apparently, after his breakthrough, not only his power grew but his intelligence also.


    Kiddo shook his head. "My ce belongs here at sea".


    "If the battle ever shifts to the sea, be rest assured that I will show up".


    de smiled for the first time since losing his master. "Ok buddy, goodluck at sea, I hope I''ll see you again sometime soon".


    Kiddo nodded before turning to sprint back to sea.


    de turned to look at Lucky who went straight to the point.


    "I came because I felt that Master is in danger".


    de''s eyes lit up. "If you feel so, then there''s a high chance that he''s still alive, we need to give our all to rescue him".


    The motivation of these 2 powerhouses burned fiercely.


    After making up his mind, it didn''t take much harder for them to locate the alliance. A few minutester, they were in an underground chamber where dozens of Grade C Superhumans were gathered.


    This was a gathering of the most powerful individuals in Darvis.


    Hunter Master Lydia addressed them. "We are prepared, we have gathered all the power that we need to storm the Clown Society and overpower that powerful Giant but we have only one hindrance".


    "We still don''t have the key element".


    "And what is that?" One curious Grade C Elementalist asked.


    "Where?" Hunter Master Lydia replied.


    "We still don''t know where the headquarters of the Clown Society is".


    "If we don''t know where to attack topletely disable their methods and foundation, we will have a much harder time winning this war".


    "We need to know where their hideout is".


    "We need to neutralise them fast or we''ll lose too much".


    "¡­"


    Everyone kept quiet, they had no information about the Clown Society.


    While everyone stayed silent, this was when de spoke. "I think I may know somewhere, no, someone who may know where their headquarters is".


    "Who?"


    "My senior brother".

 Chapter 266 The Clue

    4 days ago¡­


    After separating from his junior apprentice brother, Christensen set out on a mission, a mission to find the clue that his master left behind for them.


    Unlike de who followed their master simply to get strength, like his master always tried to hammer into his head, Summoners were more than just brute force and power, they were much more than that.


    Having been influenced by his master''s ways and preferences, Christensen also started to see Summoners as existences more than just beast tamers.


    The more he immersed himself in it, the more he wanted to learn.


    During the months that he spent around his master, Christensen already learned so much about him that for a time, he could urately impersonate his master. Like he once promised, he gave his all to learn and be better than Legs.


    This was why he understood their master much more than de.


    After months of interaction, Christensen was positive that Legs was mysterious. His intelligence andpetence were simply abnormal for his age.


    And most of all, his knowledge about the and the future.


    Legs seemed to know everything, he knew so much about the Clown Society while only having periphery contact with them, he knew so much about the main organizations in the while having few dealings with them.


    ''Who are you?''


    ''Where did youe from?'' These were frequent questions that he asked himself whenever his master aplished another freakish feat.


    These and other reasons were why Christensen slowly grew to see him as invincible, not until he was captured by the 6 Ninja Assassins.


    Legs''s capture opened the eyes of his 2 students to the harsh reality that he was no god.


    After epting reality, Christensen could finally ept a truth from his master. ''Nobody is perfect, we simply strive towards it''.


    Once he arrived at this conclusion, he convinced himself that even someone as OP as his master needed help at times to get out of difficult situations.


    Over the months, one thing that he learned was that Legs rarely made jokes in serious situations. In hisst moments against his captors, he was positive that every single word that Legs said to de had meaning.


    This was how he easily caught up to the keyword ''Hell''.


    This was when his meticulous nning started.


    After that, Christensen did not hesitate to locate their previous hideout again as the Monster Triad assassin unit. With his assassin card as the key, he was able to enter the secret hideout of the Crimson Assassins.


    This hideout was a fairly luxurious one.


    It had a basicyout of arge sitting room, a strategy room, 2 bedrooms and a secret back door to escape in the case of an emergency.


    Christensen did not directly go to the strategy room where Legs mostly spent his time, he took his time to observe the sitting room.


    He observed for any clues, any unusual element.


    As the original owner of the Detective Talent, Christensen was a god-tier detective. It didn''t take long for him to detect the unusual element.


    There were 3 different tables in the living room, and 2 of them had drawers. At the extreme bottom of one of the drawers, there was a slight nick damage.


    Others would not have noticed it or even paid attention to it if they did notice it, but Christensen was different. The small cut in the drawer was not natural, it was left by a beast, more specifically a wolf.


    Christensen recognized the tiny w imprint. "Daug?"


    He still remembered Daug, one of Ak''s Wind Wolf subordinates who usually apanied them on missions, serving as de''s mount.


    His eyes narrowed. ''Why would Daug be in our hideout and why would he leave a cut here?''


    ''Unless¡­, he did it deliberately''.


    ''Why would he cut the drawer deliberately?'' His eyes widened. ''Unless, he was ordered by someone to cut it''.


    The questions and answers came to him naturally, this was another of the perks of his detective talent.


    Christensen''s eyes shone as he instantly got the clue. ''I am the only one perceptive enough to notice a clue like this, master deliberately left it for me''.


    He no longer hesitated, he walked closer to the drawer and opened it only to see a paper. Written on it in bold were words in a strangenguage¡­, English!


    Christensen''s eyes shone in understanding.


    Recently, as the tension of the Clown Society escted, his master isted him out to teach him a secretmunicationnguage that only 2 of them could use, he called it the Englishnguage.


    Not even de knew of thisnguage.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Though Christensen was still rudimentary at it, he could still understand what was written on this paper, he was amazed at his master''s genius again.


    ''Even if someone else is smart enough to detect the clue here, the paper would be meaningless to them since they don''t understand English''.


    He picked the paper and carefully read its contents.


    >Under the bed<


    >Remember my teachings<


    Christensen grinned. "I never forgot¡­"


    He no longer hesitated, with this clue, everything was easier for him. He didn''t need to search for a long time anymore, he directly went under the bed where he saw a special construct that was made out of wood.


    The wooden construct seamlessly fused with the wooden ground that it was hard to detect it if you didn''t know that it was there beforehand.


    Christensen picked the wooden box construct and opened it only to see arge book inside it, he picked it and looked at the title.


    Like he expected, it was written in English.


    >THE CLOWN SOCIETY<


    Christensen grinned, this was exactly what he needed.


    As soon as he picked the book, he felt a hostile presence appear behind him. Christensen did not hesitate as he dashed for the exit but a powerful Elementalist barrier blocked him, trapping him in.


    With anxiousness on his face, he looked up only to see a familiar face.


    ck Master Einstein calmly looked at him. "After capturing him, just like you, I was able to deduce how much of an anomaly he was".


    "He''s never interacted with us before but he knows too much about us, since then, I''ve started investigating into his past but my progress has been slow".


    He brought out a book that was simr to the one on Christensen''s hand. "He dropped these in some of the other hideouts".


    This ck Master''s eyes narrowed. "You seemed to understand what was written inside it, tell me what it is!" His voice deepened in a threatening manner.


    This ck Master''s appearance was unexpected but Christensen''s next reaction showed that he knew more than he previously showed.


    Instead of shaking in fear, Christensen rather calmly smiled.


    He took a deep breath and shrugged before dropping his shoulders. "Thanks, you helped me confirm some things that I needed".


    ck Master Einstein''s energy spiked. "You knew of my presence before?"


    "No, but I knew that someone was investigating my master". He smiled. "You''re a good detective, but not yet at my level". He smirked proudly.


    "Once I detected your traces, I had a guess already but I still continued like I was oblivious. I dyed taking the book till now so you could catch up".


    ck Master Einstein was shocked but he did not let it show, his power red in a hostile manner. "You stand no chance against me".


    "I know, that''s why I negotiated with him".


    Bzzz!


    The subtle shadows in this room twisted and turned before warping to allow the entrance of a sleek-figured man, Geralt of the Crimson Assassins.


    Geralt smiled and turned to look at Christensen. "You were right".


    Christensen nodded before turning to look at the ck Master onest time. "My Master once told me, always stay at least 2 steps ahead of your enemy".


    He smiled. "He also told me that in everything, I should try to benefit".


    "Adios".


    Bzzz!


    Geralt teleported away with the Grade D Summoner.

 Chapter 267 The Merging Process...

    >THE CLOWN SOCIETY<


    >*Everything* that you need *to* know *about* the Clown Society<

    >Blue Scale Shelter: ¡­<


    >Tunic Shelter: ¡­<


    >Iron-Horn Shelter: ¡­<


    Christensen squinted his eyes as he read through the thick book, his eyes shed in understanding. ''He mixed it with themonnguage to make it easier for me, while keeping enough English to prevent others from understanding it''.


    Due to the fact that his master only started teaching him his made-upnguage only a few months ago, he didn''t have the time to learn much yet.


    At this moment, Christensen was still just a learner in English Language. This was why Legs mixed the texts in the book with themonnguage, those written with asterisks were themonnguage and there was enough of them.


    With these, Christensen was slowly able to piece the individual words intoplete and coherent sentences. It was hard but he persevered.


    With Geralt''s help, Christensen had all the time and convenience that he needed to fully immerse himself in the book, trying to deduce the clues.


    The more Christensen read, the more his awe for his master increased.


    ''Such a sophisticatednguage¡­''


    ''How was master able toe up with the idea to create this?''


    The Englishnguage literally catered for every thinkable word, just the amount of brain power that his master needed to create every word was so humungous that just thinking about it gave Christensen a headache.


    ''How was a 16-year-old young man able to create this?'' Christensen waspletely amazed by what he was seeing.


    ''Damn, when I was 16, what was I doing? I really wasted my youth''. He wanted to really cry at this moment.


    ''Is master really a freak of nature?''


    ''Is he one of those once in a millennium geniuses?''


    Amid his thoughts and as he continued reading and forming theplete sentences, something else awed him. ''How did master know so much?''


    ''I doubt even some Red Masters know this much about their organization''.


    What he didn''t know was that during his previous life, after the end of Version 1''s storyline, before the long development time that followed to theunch of Version 2, the yers got to farm the final battle arc through a dungeon crystal.


    There, Legs and literally every yer got to fully explore the Clown Society, this was why Legs knew so much about this organization.


    Even as Christensen continued reading, from the shadows, the leader of the Crimson de Assassins observed the Grade D Summoner.


    Despite knowing much about him already, thepetence, intelligence, and adaptability of this Summoner still shocked him.


    5 days ago, Christensen came to meet him with a proposal.


    "I have a proposal for you".


    "Help me uncover the clues left for me by my master, help me market them to the main organizations and the Grade C Superhuman alliance".


    "Whatever the pay is, we''ll share it 70/30 with you taking 30%".


    At first, Geralt simply thought that Christensen was an incredibly gusty fool but having followed the achievements of their assassin unit, he gave in to his curiosity and agreed to the arrangement without haggling.


    5 dayster, he was already amazed by what Christensen achieved.


    Not only was this Summoner right about the secret investigator and not only did hepletely y ck Master Einstein, like he promised, he was now getting real information about the Clown Society.


    His ck predatory eyes narrowed. ''I hope this is not a scam''.


    "Got it!" Christensen suddenly eximed.


    After 3 full days of reading, he finally got the most crucial information.


    >*Headquarters*: Hidden beneath the Hellfire Mountains<


    He turned to face Geralt. "Their headquarters is hidden in the East close to the borders of the Blue Sea, beneath the Hellfire Mountains".


    Geralt narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure?"


    "100% certain!" Christensen answered confidently.


    "So, what do we do?"


    "We wait". Christensen smiled. "We wait until they recognize the need for information, then we throw our lot at them, they''ll take the bait".


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    The space shifted as a familiar face teleported under the Hellfire Mountains.


    After days of searching for more clues to no avail, frustrated, ck Master Einstein returned to his hideout. This ck Master did not return without a motive though, he directly stormed towards Clown''s researchb.


    ck Master Einstein broke through the Elementalist barrier that was around theb. "Where is Legs?"


    Clown turned to look at him. "He''s alive, why?"


    "We need to get the truth from him!"


    By now, his energy check already detected the human in the Abyss Hole. As he marched there, Clown stopped him. "He is my prime test subject, you can''t¡­"


    "Legs is a threat to the sess of our n".


    "¡­" Clown raised his eyebrows in surprise.


    Einstein barging into his workshop, questioning him in such a tone, acting without his permission, these were things that this warrior had never done before, the sudden change surprised him.


    Noticing his surprised gaze, ck Master Einstein calmed down. "After capturing him, my instincts pushed me and I decided to investigate him".


    This ck Master''s eyes gleamed. "Legs is an anomaly, he knows too much, he knows things that he''s not supposed to know".


    Clown calmed down. "I know that he''s special".


    "You remember when the Hunter Union busted our hideouts? He sold the information to them". He raised the thick book up. "This is a book that he wrote and it contains detailed information about our organization".


    "The main organizations don''t have it yet because he intended to use it to get benefits, now his student took over his mission".


    "How detailed?"


    "I don''t know, that''s the problem".


    Clown''s eyes narrowed as he took the book, on looking through it, he frowned.


    ck Master Einstein exined. "He created a newnguage that he taught to his student, only both of them can understand it".


    "Do you have any idea what the book entails?"


    "No, that''s why we need to interrogate him". ck Master Einstein''s eyes turned sharp. "We need to know if the information inside would ce us in a vulnerable spot, we need to n ahead and prepare countermeasures".


    Clown turned to look at him. "I''ve worked on Legs for over a week, he''s a strong-willed individual, he won''t break, he won''t speak".


    "If he won''t speak, then we force him".


    "He''s strong-willed¡­"


    "I know, but he''s not immune to brainwashing".


    "¡­"


    Even Clown was taken aback by his partner''s craziness today.


    On any other day, he was usually the craziest but today, Einstein simply radiated a crazy enthusiasm that he had not seen before.


    Clown narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure you can pull it off?"


    "Yes".


    "Without damaging him?"


    "What do you need him intact for?"


    "He''s my prime test subject". Clown''s eyes gleamed. "My mind tells me that he is special, he has the potential of being my first perfect test subject that would break the limits of the Grade B realm".<novelnext></novelnext>


    "He''s not even a Grade C superhuman yet!"


    The 2 strongest leaders of the Clown Society arguing was a rare sight.


    All the scientists in this room were as silent as mutes, if they could, they would have preferred turning into stone statues already as the atmosphere turned tenser by the second as Einstein insisted on brainwashing Legs.


    While both powerful Elementalists bickered, underneath them in the Abyss Hole, Legs was as quiet as a mouse as he listened to everything.


    Legs literally had to listen as his end was argued by his captors.


    He felt the pressure as sweat ran down his body, but he kept his hopes alive. After over a dozen hours since it started, the progress already increased a lot and its speed was increasing, he checked his virtual interface again.


    Legs didn''t know what would happen after, he simply hoped that theplete merge with the Magic Rune would give him the capital to escape.


    That was the best that he could do, hope.

    [Current Progress Rate: 90%!]


    ----


    Thud!


    Legs felt his heart leap out of his throat, he did not resist as the bunch of psychopaths in protective clothing came to haul him away.


    About 3 minutester, the ominous eyes of ck Master Einstein pinned him for death as he was strapped to a white bed.


    This ck Master''s eyes gleamed. "Today, one way or another, I will learn your secret".


    "Commence the brainwashing procedures".


    "Yes sir".


    Legs held his breath and steeled his mind for theing torture.


    While the procedures started, at another side, Christensen was finally contacted by the leaders of the Grade C Superhuman alliance.


    ¡­


    "These are my terms".


    "Term Number 1, when the battle starts, the priority of the alliance should be on rescuing my master and nothing else".


    "My master must be rescued before youmence any other n".


    "Term Number 2, 200,000,000 Darvis Credits".


    "Term Number 2, any gains and loot from the ruins of the Clown Society will be divided between you and me 50/50". Christensen smiled.


    "Outrageous!" One of the Grade C Superhumans exploded.


    "The Clown Society is rich in resources, rare resources and technology. How can only you take 50% while the rest of us share the remaining scraps?"


    With Geralt behind him, Christensen did not waver.


    "I am the only one who understands the contents of this book, it''s either you take my offer or you go in blind against the Clown Society and suffer".


    "My offer is not changing".


    "Also, if you ept my offer, after toppling their headquarters, I am willing to also sell information about all their hideouts to enable you root them out of thepletely at the fastest time possible".


    Core Protector Shanks calmly looked at this Summoner. "You know your master is in danger right? Do you think you have the luxury to be doing this?''''


    "I do". Christensen smiled at this old legend.


    "My master''s creed is to always benefit from every situation, he''ll be proud of me when he hears of my exploits. Any additional suffering that he faces during this time, he''ll endure it, he''s a strong man".


    "¡­"


    The Grade C Superhumans had mixed reactions to this.


    Most of them were shrewd, they saw themselves superior to this Summoner, they tried to intimidate him but Christensen was not so easily intimidated.


    In the end, after wasting 20 minutes, they relented.


    Christensen smiled. "60/40 it is".


    "Tell us where their headquarters is". Hunter Master Lydia''s eyes shed.


    "Underneath the Hellfire Mountains".


    "Another thing, I''m tagging along".


    With that, Christensen came to an ord with the Grade C Superhumans. Without hesitation, they started nning even as he took time to meet and speak with his junior brother who surprisingly already broke through.


    ¡­


    "Arggghh¡­!!!"


    "Who are you?"


    "I am Legs!"


    "You are not Legs, tell us who you are!"


    "I AM LEGOLAS!!!"


    "No!"


    "Arggghh¡­, f*ck you!"


    Legs was suffering.


    His body suffered no injuries but Einstein was a chemist. With his potions and drugs, they kept him in a state of extreme pain and stimtion, Legs was finding it hard to hold on to his memories.


    Amid the suffering, the only thing that kept him sane was the constant virtual interface notifications.

    ----


    Legs''s eyes glowed white as a massive power engulfed his body.


    This was not a type of super energy that any of them was ustomed with, magic power engulfed Legs''s body as this powerful magic energy prated his skin, changing him from inside out.


    Legs''s skin squirmed in a scary and horrifying manner as changes went on in his body from the tiniest cells to his biggest organs.


    In no time, his skin started developing a shiny golden sheen.


    Unlocking the legendary God-Skin of the Ancient Giants was no easy feat.


    As the powerful magic energy engulfed Legs''s body, ck Master Einstein was spooked by the unknown as he levitated into the skies with his Elementalist staff already in his hand, he was ready to attack if threatened.


    Unlike him, Clown had an entirely different reaction.


    "The legendary God-Skin¡­" This Elementalist''s eyes literally became filled with stars, his excitement increased to a crazy level.


    "I did it!" Clown was almost crying.


    "Legs is the best test subject ever". He was emotional.


    "I f*cking replicated the legendary God-Skin!"


    Seeing his excited partner, ck Master Einstein felt uncertain. "Clown, tell me what is going on".


    Clown turned to face his partner to share his excitement with him.


    While he turned, unknowing to them, Legs received another virtual interface notification even as themotion of his new God-Skin settled down.

    Congrattions! Your Contracted Beast, Predator has fulfilled the requirements to evolve to the Grade C realm!

    From inside the Abyss Hole, a powerful energy filled with a sinister aura like that of a ck Dragon breaking free after a millennium of imprisonment due to his heinous crimes spread everywhere with the force of an avnche.


    BOOM!


    Clown''s researchb received the brunt of the shockwaves as a significant part of thisb copsed, some of the assistant scientists were injured.


    The door to the Abyss seemed to have been opened in the hole!


    Feeling the danger, both Clown and ck Master Einstein floated closer before looking in as their Elementalist staffs were already on their hands.


    On looking in, all that they saw was darkness, pitch-ck darkness.


    Amid this total darkness and ck mist, the cocoon that covered Predator underwent mysterious changes. A primordial power that had remained hidden in Predator''s body before exploded out into the surroundings.


    After centuries, another Grade C Nightmare Beast was born!

    Legs was presented with a double advancement opportunity, his eyes gleamed as he rapidly calcted.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Predator''s mighty roar reverberated through this hideout with power.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Feeling the power that apanied the mighty roar, Clown and ck Master Einstein got prepared to attack the Nightmare Beast. While they were distracted by this, Legs finally made his move.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    This time, they were not prepared, there were no Space-time stabilizers.


    "Awoo!" "Awoo!" "Awoo!"


    As soon as the familiar rainbow bridge opened, under Ak''s orders, over a hundred powerful wolves charged through the bridge to the headquarters of the Clown Society. Ak didn''te because he was evolving.


    Once again, he relied on Predator''s genius to get ahead.


    As soon as over a hundred wolves appeared in this hideout, the researchb became history. They were unleashed as they wreaked havoc, chaos descended in this ce even as rms rang through the headquarters.


    Predator felt challenged by the 2 Grade C Elementalists that hovered above the hole, before this beast could attack though, he felt a pull.


    Predator felt a pull that was pulling him from a familiar location.


    His eyes shed, this pull wasing from Nightmare Beast Ind.


    Predator was reluctant to go, he wanted to stay and fight these 2 Elementalists and save his master but he could not fight the pull. In no time, this powerful Nightmare Beast was dragged into a tiny crack in the airspace.


    Despite Predator leaving already, there was total chaos now in this headquarters as the over a hundred wolves wreaked havoc.


    Clown and ck Master Einstein did not attack the wolves though, they instead searched for one individual. "Where is Legs?"


    Legs was gone!


    ----


    Passive Ability has been triggered: Jungle Cruise!


    ¡­


    You have made use of a Special Treasure: Cloak of Nothingness!


    ----


    The worst thing about being deep in enemy territory was the sheer number of enemiesing after you.


    There were few good things, but to Legs, the best thing about this was that he knew the ins and outs of his enemy''s headquarters like it was his own backyard. At this moment, he felt like he was in a familiar supermarket.


    Thud! Thud!


    Legs decisively sprinted deeper into the headquarters with a goal.


    With the Cloak of Nothingness, Clown and ck Master Einstein could not detect him immediately. He easily bypassed the psychopaths who were running everywhere like headless chickens, his destination was Clown''s library.


    Clown''s personal library was the most valuable ce to him.


    Another reason why he didn''t try to escape was because his enemies would think the same thing. Clown and Einstein rushed through the air with speed towards the exits as they ordered all the exits to be blocked.


    While they did all these, Legs had unrestrained ess to his personal library. As soon as he arrived inside, he saw books arranged neatly in shelves.


    The thing about luxurious libraries was that there would always be the most luxurious parts, there was a shelf that easily demarcated itself from the others, with bright purple colors, this shelf looked like a royal shelf.


    Inside it were only like 6 or 8 books, Legs set his eyes on them.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    ----


    With one swing of his arms, Legs shattered the ss protecting them.


    Instantly, Clown knew. "My library!"


    Legs knew that he was already on a time limit, he picked each book one at a time at a rapid speed as his virtual interface lit up notifications.

    Legs heaved a sigh of relief even as his eyes gleamed excitedly. ''Advanced knowledge are not freebees that I encounter everyday''.


    From the very first day that he was kidnapped by the 6 ninja assassins, all that dominated his mind was how to escape. Even as he thought of how to escape his situation, he could not deny his nature, he still wanted to benefit.


    It was not everyday that you freely get delivered behind enemy lines. Not only was he freely delivered, he knew his enemy territory like his own backyard.


    While Clown experimented on him, this was one of the ways that he had been nning to f*ck him hard from behind.


    No pain, no gain; this was his belief.


    Of course, some of the events happened randomly and he did not expect them like Predator breaking through, but what mattered was that he was able to take advantage of them.


    Advanced knowledges were the peak knowledge avable in Darvis.


    Of the 4 Advanced Summoner knowledge, only 2 were avable in Darvis and the Summoner Academy was the only organization that had both.


    Clown having one of them already exceeded Legs''s expectations.


    The value of a single Advanced Summoner knowledge was the main reason for Clown''s reaction on seeing Legs hold onto it, also, Legs already detected that the remaining 2 books in the luxurious shelf were Advanced ss knowledge.


    Clownpletely exploded on seeing the state of his precious library.


    "THIEF¡­!!!"


    This powerful Elementalist did not just roar, like a space rocket, fire sprouted behind him that propelled him towards Legs with incredible speed.


    Legs did not have to look, he could already feel the wind blowing.


    Clown''s approach was rapid and deadly!


    Legs did not pay attention to him, he rather paid attention to the remaining 2 books, he remained focused as his hands rubbed against them.


    He was on a time limit but his virtual interface was faster than Clown, it lit up to Legs''s relief.

    As the books disappeared before his eyes, Clown''s eyes zed with greater fury even as his speed increased. Legs felt his danger senses spike but he already had no chances of dodging, his life was in danger!


    Boom!


    With incredible momentum, Clown mmed against the Grade D Summoner. The impact was crazy as Legs felt a lot of his bones break.


    Like a kite with its strings cut, he flew away towards the wall rapidly.


    Mid-flight, Legs finally triggered his contingency n.


    During his 6 months masquerading with his students as the Monster Triad assassin units, he already fulfilled some missions and amassed on missionpletion cards, he now had an important use for one in this clutch moment.

    Legs groaned in pain even as his danger instincts kept on ringing.


    Looking ahead, he saw Clown still flying towards him. With the look on this Elementalist''s face, he clearly already lost it, Clown would not hesitate to kill him once he closed the distance, he''ll only think of the consequences after he was dead.

    BOOM!


    Clown halted in his steps as he stared inplete shock. "What?!"


    He was just not astonished at the ridiculous timing of his test subject''s breakthrough, but he was also astonished at the energy raging at this moment.


    In his centuries of living, Clown had never experienced an urrence like this one, his eyes widened so wide andrge that they now seemed like saucers.


    "What the hell just happened?!"


    Legs grinned from the center of all this energy. "Surprise¡­ motherf*cker!"

 Chapter 270 Qualitative Changes; Legolass New Beast Tree

    Legs was not the only one who broke through.


    Predator was the pioneer and through the organic connection that connected them all, the others also broke through in their different locations.


    In the secret hideout of the Grade C Superhuman alliance, Hunter Master Lydia addressed herpanions, exining the rational of the n to them.


    "Our priority should be on locking the Giant out ofbat".


    "Since it is Clown''s trump card to deter us, locking it out ofbat will expose the defenses of their headquarters, allowing us to storm in".


    "Since it is their headquarters, their full force will be concentrated here".


    "Our priority is not only disabling their operations but capturing Clown, but¡­" This female hunter''s eyes gleamed. "If he resists, do not hesitate to bring the terrorist down, that is the least oue that he deserves".


    She turned to face Core Protector Shanks. "Who do you think?"


    This old Core Protector looked through the rough map that was drawn, he looked at all the focal points of this raid then he sighed. "I don''t know, my intuition just keeps on telling me that something is wrong".


    "I don''t think anything is wrong with the n but the Clown Society". He looked at everyone present. "They are known for nning ahead their enemies".


    "I feel that they are prepared for ouring".


    "Even if they are prepared, they can''t stop all of us together". White me Eleanor said as her powerful energy red aggressively.


    While they finalized their ns, 2 students conversed.


    Christensen chuckled. "I still can''t believe you''ve exceeded me already". He sighed. "What kind of senior brother is weaker than his junior brother?"


    de smiled. "Not just you, I''ve exceeded master too".


    "Ahh¡­, that''s true". Christensen scratched his head.


    "Do you think we can save him?" de suddenly asked.


    Christensen looked at him. "I think¡­"


    He suddenly paused and looked to the top of this secret hideout where a familiar bird of prey perched, Bran looked at him onest time before his eyes shed a bright golden color filled with powerful energy.


    BOOM!


    Bran''s breakthrough started on the spot!


    Bzzz!


    Spatial nodes to the Void Dimension were opened by the ongoing breakthrough, all the Grade C Superhumans were startled.


    Bran slowly levitated in the skies as this Void Raven started undergoing a qualitative change. Bran did not only be bigger, the golden stripes across his skin glowed brighter even as his void energy turned thicker.


    In less than a minute, the breakthrough was over.


    Bzzz!


    With one slice of his gigantic ck wings, the Void Raven cut the space open.


    He looked onest time at his master''s 2 students.


    ''I''m going ahead of you''. He directlymunicated to their mind.


    Without hesitation, the Void Raven jumped in and disappeared.


    "What happened?"


    Christensen ignored this superhuman as he sprinted towards where Core Protector Shanks was. "We need to move now; my master just broke through!"


    "That kid is now a Grade C Superhuman?!"


    Shock was evident on this Core Protector''s voice.


    He and all those that knew Legs''s real identity were horrified, Legs''s development speed was unprecedented in the history of this.


    One question dominated all their minds.


    ''How can a freakin 16-year-old be a Grade C Superhuman?''


    "We need to move now!" Christensen reminded.


    While he reminded them, de already went to the armory of the alliance. There, he picked up a random sword that could barely withstand his power.


    His eyes gleamed sharply. "Master, I aming¡­"


    They no longer needed any urging, Core Protector Shanks elerated the procedures and finalized the n as all the Grade C Superhumans got prepared to leave but at thest moment, White me Eleanor suddenly froze.


    She inclined her head like she was listening to a sound wave in the air.


    Her eyes suddenly widened in shock. "He survived¡­?!"


    Core Protector Shanks noticed her reaction, he turned. "What?"


    "¡­"


    Eleanor did not answer, she tore the fabric of space open before teleporting to a direction that was opposite the destination of the alliance.


    Core Protector Shanks was left bbergasted by her impulsive action but this did not stop the n, it already started, it could no longer be stopped.


    Bzzz!


    Dozens of Grade C Superhumans teleported out of this hideout.


    The tension all across Darvis increased.


    ¡­


    Today, the Steep Hills was experiencing a phenomenon that wasst seen among the Wolf ecosystem here more than at least 5 centuries ago.


    While Nymeria, the Alpha Female of the ruling Wolf Kingdom enteredbor to give birth to the Alpha''s pups, the Alpha himself entered a special state.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Once again, Ak got to leapfrog through Predator''s genius.


    Ak was undergoing an evolution!


    This Wind Wolf''s eyes literally turned watery in emotion as he felt the powerful energy revolving around his body. "Predator, I owe you for life".


    This massive Wind Wolf experienced a qualitative change.


    Ak did not be much bigger, he instead became much sleeker and deadlier, he now looked more like a Wolf geared for assassination.


    An aura of domination and leadership engulfed this powerful Wind Wolf.


    Unlike the others, Ak''s evolution was more geared towards leadership.


    After his 4th evolution, Ak became a Grade C Emperor Wolf!


    His aura spread throughout the whole Steep Hills, announcing the birth of the new Wolf Emperor. All across the Steep Hills, every wolf that felt the aura instinctively prostrated in respect and worship.


    Apart from his size increase and muscle development, the most iconic physical change that Ak experienced was feathers.


    On all 4 of his legs, and on both sides of his body close to his neck grew out feathers that granted Ak an unprecedented control over the Wind Element.


    Ak looked onest time at his wife.


    "Show me my mighty Pups on my return".


    "As for now¡­" His eyes gleamed. "I go to war!"


    Bzzz!


    Ak alone was now able to tear the barrier open and unleash the rainbow bridge, this powerful Wind Wolf sprinted through alone.


    Ak was off to the Hellfire Mountains.


    While all these happened and as the tension increased, Predator was dragged to the Nightmare Beast Ind. Precisely, he was dragged to the ancient rock that sat at the very center of this ind.


    This ck rock at this moment was upied by 3 beasts extremely simr to Predator, 3 powerful Grade C Nightmare Beasts!


    Predator looked up at them, their identities instantly became evident.


    As they looked at the Nightmare Beast, they slowly frowned.


    "You''re a Summoner''s contracted beast?"


    "Damn right!" Predator grunted.


    "¡­"


    They wordlessly stared at this descendant of theirs.


    "We are the 3 Nightmare Beast Ancestors¡­"


    "I can see that".


    The Nightmare Beast with the smallest size among the 3 let his energy loose. "Because you evolved does not mean you can disrespect your ancestors, Predator".


    "You even know my name, good, that makes things easier". Predator''s eyes gleamed. "Can we leave all these ancestor sh*t forter? Because, right now, my blood is already boiling for battle".


    "After we thrash the Clown Society, I may make up time to return here".


    "You¡­!" The smallest of the 3 Nightmare Beasts was enraged.


    The biggest of them all who also seemed to be the oldest stopped him before he could vent his anger, this gigantic Nightmare Beast curiously scrutinized this descendant of his. "Predator, I like your personality, bold".


    "Go and win your battle, thene back to meet us".


    "You have a lot to learn about our race".


    He smirked. "If you want to get stronger faster, you also have a lot to learn".


    At the words ''get stronger faster'', Predator''s eyes lit up. "I''ll definitelye back!"


    "But for now, adios!"


    "What does that mean?"


    "I don''t know, Legs likes using it".


    Predator no longer waited, he directly tore the fabric of space open before teleporting out of this isted ind back to where his instincts drew him to.


    Bzzz!


    ¡­


    While every powerhouse like her went to the forefront of the confrontation against the Clown Society, Eleanor teleported back to her secret training space pocket. Unknown to many, Eleanor also had an affinity for the space element.


    Though it was undeveloped, she was able to create a secret space pocket.


    This was where she developed most of her most potent healing abilities, and the only other person that knew this ce and had been here was someone who was very important to her.


    Bzzz!


    As soon as she arrived, she looked inside the hut in the space pocket.


    Her eyes instantly turned watery. "You survived¡­?"


    "Eleanor". Jon Stones calmly turned to look at her.

 Chapter 271 Jon Stones Survival Journey And Evolution

    At hisst moments¡­


    He chuckled. "I lost¡­"


    "Do not defile me, give me the honor of dying a warrior''s death".


    Jon Stones was a man of few words. Despite being embroiled in the incredible emotion of the moment, those who really knew him knew that he would have faced death silently, he spoke because of one reason.


    After centuries of pushing the limits of the Pugilist ss, evolving to be stronger than any other Pugilist, Jon Stones learned a few truths.


    Apart from the truth of grit, he also learned the truth of self-preservation.


    In Darvis, despite being the supers with the toughest skins and most explosive hand-to-handbat power, Pugilists had the highest death rate. There was a tendency for these block heads to not use their brain in battle.


    They preferred bravely charging to death than calcting meticulously.


    Originally, Jon Stones was once like that but as he grew stronger, he discovered that their approach was essentially wed. No matter how strong a Pugilist was, there was always a stronger enemy.


    If you could not survive against a stronger enemy, there were few chances of returning stronger to defeat and kill that enemy.


    Faced with this epiphany, Jon Stones was able to adjust his approach.


    After a century of growth, he was able to create the ultimate life-preservation skill that he intended to only pass on to his student before he died.


    ''Stones Specialty: Returning to Dust; Surviving as a Speckle!''


    He whispered this and activated this incredible ability in his mind while Clown looked him down, he did not use it in the end because of Commander Kratos''s decision to help him with others of his subordinates.


    After their courageous disy which only ended up in them dying all the more, Jon Stones realized even more how fragile Pugilists'' lives were.


    The sight of Kratos'' death pushed him more into regret.


    Amid his regrets, he fought hisst desperate battle with Din and was overpowered. His extreme emotional state almost made him lose grasp of the ability, but the regret of Kratos'' death pumped him to hold tight to it.


    After Kratos'' death, he received another epiphany.


    This epiphany amplified his new Pugilist super way for self-preservation.


    ''Kratos died because he was too reckless, I can''t leave his death meaningless''.


    Bam!


    As soon as Din dealt the killing blow and as his head separated from his neck, he felt his vitality rapidly draining from his body. Like he expected though, Clown did not leave him be, this Elementalists flooded his body with fire.


    While his body was roasted to ashes, the ability took effect!


    ''Stones Specialty: Returning to Dust; Surviving as a Speckle!''


    As his body turned to ashes, a speck of dust separated from his body. This speck of dust carried his remaining power, it carried his essence and escaped.


    Unlike Daemon''s also amazing Cell Transportation, this was even more untraceable, none of his enemies detected it as the speck of dust escaped.


    It drifted with the wind towards the sea.


    The longer it stayed in the air, the more its integrity weakened but luckily, a Tuna Fish swam nearby, attracting the attention of the speckle. Its strong self-preservation instincts were triggered as it instantly entered the Tuna''s body.


    Plop!


    Just a tiny sound reverberated, even the Tuna didn''t detect it.


    ¡­


    Inside the body of the Tuna as a speck of dust was dark, very dark.


    As soon as the dust survived, using its remaining energy, it started moving like a parasite. It aimed to infect one of the tiny cells but the fish''s immune system was strong, after a battle thatsted 2 hours, the dust finally won.


    As soon as it became a cell, exhausted from the battle, it fell into hibernation.


    ¡­


    2 dayster, the cell woke up and new instincts developed.


    The cell developed a predator instinct towards other cells. Without hesitation, this cell started cannibalizing other cells. The other cells could not resist, this cell cannibalized so much until it became a super cell.


    A few hourster, it evolved, turning into a deadly virus that invaded the immune system of the fish. In a day, the viruspletely took over the fish.


    Bzzz!


    This was when Jon Stones'' consciousness revived.


    He was shocked. ''I survived¡­?''


    Since over a century ago after he created this ability, this was only his 2nd time using it. First was against an opponent that he still felt humiliated around due to his carelessness, 2nd was the coalition of ck Masters.


    A lot of things filled his mind but he shelved them and focused on survival.


    This Tuna developed abilities that enabled it to cannibalize on other fish. From a fish, he took over the body of a shark. Then on the 3rd day, he finally recovered enough as he swam to the edge of the sea.


    There, the shark''s body copsed and from its ruins came out a human.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Jon Stones was reborn!


    As soon as he stepped foot on bare ground again and he breath the fresh air, the first thing that came to his mind was the regret.


    ''Why was I so obsessed with challenging myself¡­?''


    ''Why was I not content with my power¡­?''


    ''Why was I not content with keeping and protecting what I had¡­?''


    ''I didn''t even get to reciprocate Eleanor''s feelings¡­''


    In the end, he simply sighed. "Ahh¡­"


    By now, he already heard about the fall of the Pugilist Academy from fishermen at sea, he didn''t have a home to return to.


    Instead of going to visit any of his old friends though, Jon Stones decided to go on a walk, a long walk without eating around the. For days, Jon Stones walked the while thinking of different things.


    Most of his inner thoughts were focused on his regrets after his defeat.


    For a long time, he already felt invincible, this defeat served as a wake-up call to him. After surviving the fall from grace, a lot of things became open to him.


    During the long walk, he got a lot of epiphanies.


    Through just walking, Jon Stones grew stronger.


    After days of the walk, he finally stopped, he came to a conclusion. "No matter how powerful I be, inherently, I am still a human".


    "Humans are social beings¡­, I can''t cut myself off from them".


    His eyes shone in understanding. "The criteria to taking the next step for a superhuman of my level is embracing the uniqueness of my species as a human".


    Instantly, Jon Stones opened his heart to emotions that he usually fought before. He opened his heart to love, happiness, and most importantly, contentment. "I''m a legend, I''m celebrated in my".


    As he made these changes, something instantly changed in his energy.


    His Pugilist energy changed, it evolved.


    After all these, Jon Stones walked to a random direction. After hours of walking, he found himself in a familiar pocket space, in a familiar hut.


    ¡­


    On seeing him, Eleanor''s eyes watered. "You survived¡­?"


    "Eleanor". Jon Stones calmly turned to look at her.


    The White me could no longer hold herself, overwhelmed by emotions, she ran forward before jumping into his embrace. Shockingly, Jon Stones did not push her back like a bitter sigma this time, he took her embrace!


    Eleanor was shocked but she was too emotional to pay attention to it.


    The embracested a long time as Jon Stones let himself soak in thepany of a beautiful female warrior who had loved him for a long time.


    The more time he spent in the embrace, the more he realized how much he was missing. "So refreshing¡­"


    "Huh?"


    Eleanor wanted to break the embrace but he held her tight.


    After a few more minutes, Eleanor asked. "You became stronger".


    "Yes, I got an epiphany and made some realizations, I''m not yet at the Grade B realm yet but I am close, I think I am a Grade C+ superhuman now".


    Eleanor was surprised but she kept on enjoying the embrace, who knew if Stones woulde to his senses the next moment and push her away?


    None of that happened though, instead, she heard something shocking.


    "I love you too". Jon Stones voiced these words in such a strained manner like he was spitting out an atomic bomb but once he did, he rxed a lot.


    Eleanor froze as soon as she heard it.


    "I mean it¡­" The masculine voice added a momentter.


    Instantly, this female felt the heat in her body rising. It also affected Jon Stones as he became too drawn in the moment, they kissed.


    From kissing, clothes were ripped apart.


    For the first time in all his life, Jon Stones was about to lose his virginity!


    This Pugilist was dragged into a deep world of euphoria and pleasure the next moment, pleasure unlike anything that he had experienced all his life.


    While war threatened, these 2 warriors let their passion lead.

 Chapter 272 The Letter In The Gray World

    -----


    Initiating level up process¡­, please wait¡­


    Increasing Summoner energy levels¡­, processpleted


    Congrattions! You are now a Grade C Shepherd


    +2000 INT, +800 CHA, +1500 MYS


    +1 slot for a new contracted beast


    +10000 Summoner Energy/Mana Points


    +8000 Health Points


    ----


    BOOM!


    Legs''s power exploded out like an avnche.


    His double breakthrough did not just increase his Summoner energy levels, it affected a lot of other things. Instantly after the breakthrough, Legs felt his connection to the gray world be stronger than ever before.


    The grey apple tattoo on his wrist literally glowed with power.


    His connection to the gray world grew so strong that for a few seconds, he literally felt the gray world trying to coexist with reality. For these few seconds, while still in Darvis, he was able to see inside the gray world.


    He saw everything still intact, and he also saw Aaron looking down at him.


    These distractions did not prevent Legs from detecting the new tattoo that appeared on his left wrist. It was the tattoo of a flower nted in a river, the beautiful work of calligraphy and art seemed to be alive.


    As Legs looked down at it, he felt like he was looking at the gateway to another world. Legs was not new to this new phenomenon, this was the gateway to the spirit world.


    Due to the fact that Summoners didn''t have as much of an affinity to the spirit ne as the beast ne, they needed this tattoo to ess it.


    This was the gateway to the spirit world.


    Though all these discoveries briefly distracted him, Legs did not dare linger on them because he was perfectly aware that his life was still in danger.


    Whoosh!


    Legs''s eyes shed as a new enemy came.


    ck Master Einstein''s sharp and intelligent eyes pinned him down like the eyes of a bird of prey as he worked the sequences of everything that happened in his head using the few clues that were avable at this moment.


    In just a second, he was able to piece the current sequence of events.


    This ck Master''s eyes narrowed. "What a monster¡­!"


    Even as he was amazed, he did not show any weakness as his powerful Elementalist energy sted on all cylinders. Clown also let his energy loose as these 2 powerful warriors observed their opponent, waiting for the right time to attack.


    While observing Legs, Clown still looked at him like his test subject, his eyes secretly tinted in excitement at the further changes to the God-skin.


    Bzzz! Bzzz!


    The fabric of space was torn directly to Clown''s personal library.


    Themotion in the Hellfire Mountains was detectable from miles away, even if the Grade C Superhumans did not know before. With so muchmotion caused, they would surely have a guess at their headquarters now.


    It was this samemotion that attracted both Din and Daemon.


    The 2 ck Masters arrived only to see a familiar face. "Sexy Chocte¡­!"


    Their arrival may not have disturbed much, but this was the perfect tiny distraction that Legs needed to make his move.


    At this moment, despite his breakthrough and the incredible power that flowed through his veins, Legs was still a Summoner with none of his beasts. The evolution of his beasts briefly held them back froming immediately.


    As a super who fought by mostly using his head, by now, Legs already concluded that his chances of surviving if he fought now were zero.


    This was why he did not hesitate to press the gray apple tattoo on his wrist.


    Bzzz!


    Instantly, his body disappeared.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Legs took a big risk. During the moment of his breakthrough as he connected to the gray world, he briefly felt that not only his consciousness could enter the gray world now but his entire body.


    This was why he took that dangerous stunt.


    In the end, it worked, he was smoothly teleported away.


    On arriving at the gray world, Legs instantly felt all the tension fade away. Inside here, he fully recovered from the dpidation effects of being Clown''s test subject for the past 1 week and days.


    Coming here made it a fact, his eyes gleamed excitedly. "I escaped!"


    "Congrattions, Legs on your breakthrough".


    Legs turned his head to look at Aaron. Their were many things that he wanted to say but they both knew that this was not the right time for them.


    Aaron spoke. "Like I theorized, your breakthrough unlocked a lot more authority over the gray world, I can now briefly project my aura through if you let me, this can help you in a lot of ways".


    "For example, for your trip to the Spirit world, the aura of a Grade A Elementalist is more than enough to tame any Spirit beast of your choice".


    Legs''s eyes shone as more ideas entered his mind. "In my uing escape battle against them, your aura can also spook them".


    While he said this, Legs looked down. Due to his greater authority, after bringing his body here, he could still see Clown''s library from up here.


    The changes to the gray world were too numerous to count.


    One thing that attracted his attention most was the gray ball mists that signified every member of his gathering. At this moment, the gray balls corresponding to 3 members blinked aggressively, Altan, Sophia, and Christensen.


    Without even listening to their pleas, he already had a good idea what they were pinging an excellency like him for. As he looked at the balls, Legs was surprised that his passive authority was now greater than ever before.


    He didn''t need to actively enter each of the balls with his consciousness to see what each one of his members was doing.


    Of them all, de and Christensen''s activities drew his attention the most.


    His eyes widened. "Christensen found it?"


    He was excited, when he left the clues and the book about information on the Clown Society, it was all probability, he didn''t think Christensen would be able to deduce it to the extent of discovering the headquarters.


    Also seeing that Christensen was able to strike a good bargain with the Grade C Superhumans using it, he instinctively felt proud. "That''s my boy!"


    Legs did not have the time to bask on his student''s glory though, at this moment, he already knew that his beasts were almost done with their evolution and without hesitation, they would alle to aid him in battle.


    And also seeing the reinforcements in the form of the Grade C Superhuman alliance, his intelligence came to y again as he worked his magic.


    Heshed into Christensen''s gray ball mist, he used the power of the gray world to create his doppelganger then hemunicated. "Christensen, by now, I know that you already know that I broke through".


    "Lead the strongest Superhumans to this location, it is Clown''s library and is where I am cornered, I need your help".


    "Send the others to Clown''s researchb to destroy everything".


    "Lastly, this is the correct map of the Clown Society". With the new powers of the gray world, Legs directly projected it in the mind of his student.


    After doing all these, he was finally ready to go to the Spirit world but Aaron stopped him. "Actually, there is something else that you need to know".


    "After your breakthrough, like I theorized, more of the gray world opened up and I already saw a table that holds a letter".


    "A letter?" Legs''s eyes widened.


    That term instantly reminded him of the letter of the God of Games.


    Without hesitation, he rushed there but just the first line in the letter made literally everything about him pause in petrification.


    The letter was written using English Language.


    >Dear Earthling, if you''re reading this then it means that my theory was sessful and I am not thest reincarnator from earth that will be sent here<


    >Nice to meet you buddy, being an only reincarnator is terrifying<


    >My name is¡­<

 Chapter 273 The Spirit Plane, Spirit Beasts!

    >Dear Earthling¡­<


    Legs felt goosebumps grip him all over.


    This single opening 2 words meant a lot to him. For a long time, for 3 freaking years, he had lived in Darvis as an only reincarnator. Though he didn''t act like it, this sense of loneliness had taken its toil on him.


    This was another reason why he held so tight to his 2 students.


    At first, Legs took Christensen and de in solely for the benefits and their future potential. But as the sense of loneliness in him grew, he started seeing both of them as his real students, he took them as his real students.


    Both of them were part of the few reasons why he remained sane, Legs never expected to see a relic that was left by a fellow earthling.


    Instantly, his temperature became hotter. Legs''s eyes literally sprouted fire as he rapidly devoured the information that was inside the letter.


    >Dear Earthling, if you''re reading this then it means that my theory was sessful and I am not thest reincarnator from earth that will be sent here<


    >Nice to meet you buddy, being an only reincarnator is terrifying<


    >My name is¡­<


    "Legs, your beasts will soon arrive to face the enemies".


    Legs turned to re at the old Elementalist, Aaron felt goosebumps.


    "Sorry¡­, I just wanted to ask if you intend to let them fight alone".


    Legs ignored him and turned to focus on the letter. At this moment, nothing else in the world mattered to him than the letter left by a fellow earthling.


    Seeing this letter, Legs felt a kind of kinship that he didn''t know was there before. Living with Darvis citizens for so long, he already longed for home, this letter gave him the closest experience to home.


    >My name is Maximus¡­<


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    Of Legs''s 3 beasts, Bran arrived first.


    As soon as the newly evolved Void Raven appeared through the Void Dimension, a crazy amount of Void energy erupted into the surroundings. Bran instantly became akin to the center of a ckhole in this library.


    His eyes rapidly scanned for his master before stopping at a certain point, Legs was not there, but this bird of prey felt his master''s aura there.


    "Master¡­?"


    "ATTACK!" Clown roared.


    As soon as the Void Raven appeared, they were all prompted into action. They didn''t even need Clown''s reminder for them to go on the move.


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Wildfire Combustion!"


    Clown made the first move as all the other ck Masters followed after him, ck Master Einsteinplimented his move with another Sage Ability.


    ck Master Daemon''s eerie skull cackled as he controlled the lethal Nethermes before sending it after the Void Raven that levitated in the skies.


    As for Din, as a Pugilist, he directly charged forward. After activating one of his abilities, his right fist turned a fiery red as it gathered incredible momentum.


    From his elevated point, Bran observed all 4 of his opponents.


    ''Powerful¡­'' This was his verdict but he was not intimidated.


    He spread his massive ck wings as he finally decided to make his move.


    Someone else did before him though.


    Bzzz!


    "Ak Specialty: Alpha Wolf!"


    Instantly, a titanic amount of power surged out of the beast ne. Power surged from the body of Ak''s thousand subordinates to empower their alpha, Ak howled as power flowed through his body.


    "Ak Specialty: Wind Shield!"


    Bzzz!


    Predator arrived at this very moment.


    Unlike the others, this Nightmare Beast was not as quiet, feeling the powerful hostile energies, Predator was determined not to feel less powerful.


    To this Nightmare Beast, appearance and loudness had a direct role in victory.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Predator''s roar reverberated like thunder!


    The shockwaves were so strong that they battered against the walls of this library, decreasing the integrity of the volcano as a whole. The superhumans were not left unscathed either as they were pushed back by this power.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Clown''s eyes widened. "Such power¡­"


    "Legs is a freak; his beasts are freaks too?!"


    Predator roared again and was about to rush in but Ak took charge.


    "Hush now Predator, not now".


    At this moment, this Wind Wolf exuded the authority of a leader, instinctively, Predator stopped and obeyed him.


    "You know what we do when Legs is not here?"


    "We fight!"


    "No, we defend and hold our ground until hees".


    "Roar¡­!"


    With Bran covering the skies, Predator aggressively covering the front, and Ak as the support, these 3 beasts formed an unbreakable defensive formation.


    The superhumans shed with them nheless.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    ¡­


    >My name is Maximus, I am a professional game developer<


    >I died when an inexplicable explosion ravaged me, my fellow game developers, and our employers on a meeting<


    >Let''s put the introduction aside, let''s get to business. ording to my calctions, there''s a high chance that only those in the explosion had the chance of reincarnation which means you''re either a colleague or my superior<


    >ording to my estimates, you''ll likely inherit my developer package, I created the gray world<


    >Lol, as a game developer and an avid fan of the Lord of the Mysteries book, I wanted to create a simr advantage for myself in the game<


    >F*ck that explosion though, I could not enjoy it¡­<


    Legs''s eyes literally already turned watery. "Sir Maximus¡­"


    Legs already knew who this was. Maximus was one of the senior developers of Dominator, he was essentially his superior at work.


    He never expected this man to also be a reincarnator. "I''m not alone afterall¡­"


    "Legs!" Aaron''s tone contained urgency this time.


    Legs no longer ignored him, he turned to look at Clown''s library where his beasts were already embroiled in battle. He looked at the letter onest time before turning away. "Aaron, keep it safe, I''ll finish itter".


    ? "As for now, I have a war to finish!" His eyes gleamed.


    He looked at Aaron. "You know the drill, I need your help".


    Without hesitation, Legs pressed his new flower tattoo that was on his wrist. Instantly, he felt an entirely new sensation.


    Apart from the body, a sentient being also had a spirit.


    The Spirit ne was home to Spirits and could only be transversed using a Spirit body, Legs''s spirit literally came out of his body. It was slightly different from just his consciousness, it epassed much more.


    As soon as the ethereal glowing green spirit appeared, Legs felt a pull and he did not resist, he was dragged into the Spirit ne.


    The Spirit ne felt like an Ocean. Every being here simply floated on this boundless world of mostly blue and green, everything here felt fantastical, the floating flowers, the floating beasts, the ne itself.


    Legs did not waste his time admiring the scenery though, he instead set his eyes on the target. Having also yed in the Spirit World in his previous life, Legs knew exactly what he wanted and where to get them.


    By expending his Summoner energy, he turned into a green streak as he moved through this world. Just a few secondster, he found his first target.


    His first target was a gigantic Blue Astral Wolf


    "Aaron, now!"


    Bzzz!


    The aura of a Grade A superhuman seeped through.


    Instantly, this gigantic Grade C Spirit Wolf was petrified in shock. Legs went closer and did the rituals, the Spirit beast instantly submitted.


    His 2nd and 3rd targets were a Spirit Raven and a Ghost War Tiger.


    Instantly after getting all 3 Spirit Beasts, Legs pressed the flower tattoo again and his grey apple tattoo at the same time. He left both the spirit ne and the gray world at the same time, Legs returned to reality.


    BOOM!


    He was weed by battle!

 Chapter 274 The Might Of A Spirit Summoner! [1]

    Spirit beasts were predominantly of 2 types.


    There were the support Spirit Beasts and the Combat Spirit beasts, and there was the rarer type of spirit beasts that epassed the attributes of the first 2 to a lesser degree, they were called the Hybrids.


    Support Spirit Beasts were like their name described. When brought to reality by a Summoner, these spirt beasts thrived more by supporting other beasts.


    As for Combat Beasts, these monsters could fight in real airspace with some developing exotic abilities that were hard to counter by normal supers.


    The Hybridsbined the essence of both types to a lesser degree. The Ghost War Tiger that Legs subdued was a perfect example of a Hybrid Spirit beast, not only could it support cat-type beasts, it could also fight.


    As for the remaining 2 like the Spirit Wolf and the Spirit Raven, these guys were more optimized for support and Legs had a reason for choosing them.


    Bzzz!


    Inside the grey world, the powers of the grey world mostly obscured his power and he could notpletely feel it. Back to reality though, Legs could more personally feel the power that flowed through his body.


    The Grade C realm was an entirely different level of operation than he was used to. He arrived to meet the raging battle.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Though they didn''t put their all to overwhelming the 3 beasts due to their misgivings for the Summoner, Clown and the ck Masters still ditched out a significant amount of damage that the 3 beasts expertly weathered.


    With Ak being the leader in their master''s absence, Bran and Predator were able to cooperate seamlessly and showcase a crazy amount of power.


    Originally, Clown would have ordered hispanions to overwhelm the beasts already but he felt hesitant.


    He was not wrong to feel that way, after the incredible energy that Legs exuded after his double breakthrough, it was the right decision to be wary and now, Legs finally returned.


    Having observed everything from up above, Legs had a current update of the battle. He directly took this battle up a gear on arrival as he intended to test his limits against his current opponents.


    Fighting 4 vs 1 against these monsters that managed to kill Jon Stones was a crazy idea, but Legs felt that this was how he would be able to test his limits.


    His eyes gleamed in a challenging manner. ''Bring it on!''


    The normal Legs was not impulsive, in a situation like this where he was qualitatively outnumbered, he would have used his brain more to fight in a cautious manner and save energy but Legs didn''t do any of that.


    He decided to be direct because he knew that his students wereing for him. ''With Chris and de behind me, it won''t hurt to indulge myself a bit''.


    With the amount of Grade C Superhumans that wereing, Legs had no doubt that the Clown Society would meet its end today.


    Before they met their end, he just wanted to enjoy himself a bit first.


    He briefly looked at his beasts. "Welldone boys".


    "I''m here now¡­"


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Spirit Summoner!


    ----


    Instantly after Legs activated this active ability, the Spirit ne ovepped with reality again but this time to an even closer degree.


    Bzzz!


    The ovepping this time enabled some Spirit Beasts to leap through.


    Under his summons, the 3 Spirit Beasts that he subdued leaped through the spirit bridge and arrived in Darvis.


    The Spirit Wolf was the first one to arrive through the spirit bridge.


    This ethereal glowing Yellow Wolf looked more like it belonged to the researchb than a battlefield.


    It had long ears, a curly soft ethereal fur, calm intelligent eyes that made it seem like it was wearing a pair of natural lenses, and an energy that resonated with a certain beast on arrival.


    As soon as this Wolf arrived, its ethereal form was instantly attracted to a certain beast. Ak''s spirit resonated to this Spirit Beast that suddenly appeared.


    The gigantic Emperor Wind Wolf was shocked, like most beasts, this was Ak''s first time encountering a Spirit Beast and he didn''t know how to react.


    Luckily, Legs was here.


    "Wolfie here is a friend, Ak, open up to him".


    Ak unconditionally obeyed his master, he owed everything to Legs and Predator. His trust to his master was almost unmatched.


    Instantly after he opened up, his spirit seemed to be a ma as the ethereal Yellow Wolf uncontrobly flew towards him.


    The Yellow Wolf passed right through his physical body to his inner self.


    Bam!


    Both Wolf Spirits merged to form a mightier and more powerful Wolf Spirit.


    Ak''s Wolf Spirit changed, apart from being tainted with a hint of yellow, this Wolf''s energy increased. Legs'' interface lit up a notification.


    -----


    Ak has fused with a Support-type Spirit Wolf- Wolfie!


    Ak has gained +100% Psychological and Soul Resistance!


    Ak''s Leadership qualities has increased by +80%!

    ----


    "¡­"


    The eyes of the 3 oldest Grade C psychopaths here widened.


    "What¡­?" Clown, Einstein, and Daemon were literally scratching their heads out.


    "How?!" They simply could notprehend it.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Clown still remembered vividly how this Summoner broke through in his presence, how was Legs able to learn an Advanced Summoner knowledge within such a short timeframe to be able to use it now?


    This was illogical, this was already beyond genius!


    They now looked at Legs with horror-filled eyes like they were looking at a specimen of humanity that was not supposed to exist in the first ce.


    Legs smirked, their shock dulled their reactions, buying all the time that was needed for the Ghost War Tiger and the Spirit Raven to appear.


    Like their other counterpart, consequently, these Spirit Beasts were attracted towards Predator and Bran''s Spirits. As soon as the fusion wasplete, Legs''s virtual interface lit up another notification.

    Bran has fused with a Support-type Spirit Raven- ???

    [Remark: Predator: Finally, a worthypanion who matches my energy!]


    ----


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Predator roared as he felt the energy flowing through his body.


    This time, not only his enemies were shocked, Legs was also shocked.


    ''Is this the effects of having a beast with unlimited potential?!" He was horrified by the energy that Predator exuded at this moment.


    Intimidated by his incredible disy of power, his enemies dared not hold back anymore, Clown led the charge as they attacked.


    "Din Specialty: Supersonic Speed!"


    While the Elementalists got prepared to spam attacks, Din did the unexpected, he broke the script and charged ahead at breakneck speed.


    Legs instantly felt his danger instincts ring.


    He felt danger but he had just the right counter for it, his eyes were sharp as daggers as his virtual interface lit up another notification.

 Chapter 275 The Might Of A Spirit Summoner! [2]

    -----


    [Choice Registered!]


    [Beast Rank in Hierarchy: Eldest!]


    [Power of Beast Affinity Usable: 80%!]


    Conjuring Affinity¡­, please wait¡­


    Darkness Affinity Conjured!


    ----


    Bzzz!


    Instantly after this new ability of his took effect, as Legs was engulfed in darkness, Predator reacted with shock. For a moment, despite not having fused with his master, Predator felt an uncanny connection to his master.


    This feeling was not exclusive to Predator, it was mutual.


    Instantly after he temporarily conjured the Darkness Affinity of his beast, Legs did not just feel a connection, he felt like he was Predator.


    This was unlike when he fused with Predator using the Beast Integration ability, this time, he was his own self while he simply inherited Predator''s capabilities and instincts, he began to think like a Darkness Conjurer.


    ''Nice¡­, I love this¡­" Legs''s eyes shed.


    Whoosh!


    Din the Dragon Rider was still charging towards him with speed, but as soon as Legs conjured the power of Darkness, even time seemed to slow down.


    In this slowed down time, he was able to observe the charging Pugilist.


    At this moment, Din''s hands were already engulfed by fire due to the friction of his speed. If Legs was hit by just even one punch from this charging Pugilist, his chances of survival were not optimistic.


    Legs was not about to let himself be punched though, he reacted.


    "Darkness Ability: Bizarre Wall!"


    "Darkness Ability: Kraken Entanglement!"


    Legs had no recollection of these abilities before now.


    As soon as he received the Darkness affinity, instead of blindly copying Predator''s abilities where most won''t work since he didn''t have ws now a row of dangerous teeth, he decided to go wild and try his imagination.


    As soon as he decided to go wild, and due to his need to defend against the Pugilist''s attack, the first thought that came to Legs was Escape Room.


    He remembered watching this movie in his previous life, where the participants were separated by walls and every room represented a different danger. As soon as he thought of it, it instantly resonated with his preferences.


    ''A normal shield wall is boring''.


    ''What better way to showcase my new power than a bizarre wall?''


    Instantly, the wall of darkness was conjured to life.


    As for the 2nd ability, all he did was to remember the iconic Pirates of the Caribbean movie of his previous life. He easily picked the Kraken monster that swallowed Captain Jack Sparrow, but he added a twist to it.


    He added a Darkness twist to it by bestowing it with Darkness powers.


    Both abilities took effect instantaneously.


    Bzzz!


    While he charged ahead, Din was shocked as he was suddenly engulfed in Darkness. Inside this darkness, his vision was totally blind, he could not even see his fingers, this was the bizarre wall that Legs created.


    In his shock and conundrum, this Pugilist felt his danger instincts ring. Before he could react, gigantic tentacles suddenly grabbed him and squeezed him.


    Everything happened so fast, Din had no time to react.


    This Pugilist felt fear for the first time since bing a Grade C Superhuman as he felt the life being squeezed out of him, but that was not all.


    "Darkness Ability: H''s Necrosword!"


    The power of imagination was dangerous!


    Legs fulfilled one of his childhood dreams, he literally materialized the Goddess of Death''s Necrosword. Again, Din could not escape it, the Necrosword directly stabbed through the abdomen of this Pugilist.


    -----


    You have dealt critical damage to your opponent!


    You have triggered effect: Continuous Damage!


    >Continuous Damage: Your opponent will continue to feel the impact of your attack, receiving bursts of the same damage in increasingly lower qualities till the powerpletely dissipates<


    ----


    "Ugh¡­!" Din groaned in pain and shock.


    By now, the others already recognized the danger as they tried to save him but both Ak and Branbined to create a temporarily unbreakable defense.


    As for Predator, he rushed forward to finish the job.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Hearing this roar, Din shuddered, he felt the spirit of death close.


    This Pugilist dared not hesitate any longer, he finally recognized what happened. Like Jon Stones underestimated them due to them being the younger generation, so also did they underestimate Legs because he newly evolved.


    The threat of death brought this Pugilist back to reality.


    "Release¡­!" Din growled.


    "ROAR!!!"


    Craxes roar reverberated like thunder as the mighty Red Dragon finally made an appearance, this Dragon''s fiery eyes pinned the Nightmare Beast.


    "Bruciare!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    Craxes did not hesitate, this Dragon breath Dragon Fire!


    Feeling the wave of heat that threatened to incinerate him to ashes, Predator did not cower, this Nightmare Beast stood his ground and roared back.


    Surprisingly, this time, Predator did more than just roar.


    With his roar, a mighty concentrated breath of darkness energy was shot out from the mouth of this Nightmare Beast as it eroded everything that stood before it. It shed with the Dragon Fire and it was an explosive sh.


    BOOM!


    The explosive sound disoriented everyone present.


    When the mighty explosion finally calmed down, an injured Din was on top Craxes as this Pugilist eyed his enemies with a wary expression.


    He now looked at Legs with wariness, respect, and slight fear.


    He was not alone though, he hadpanions. Like him, Clown and the others also underestimated Legs but after this brief disy of power, none of them dared to underestimate him anymore.


    While levitating in the skies, Clown red at Legs.


    "You''re outnumbered, what do you intend to do?"


    Legs chuckled. "Are you a fool?"


    Clown''s face darkened.


    Legs smirked at his reaction. "Of course, I''m going to fight you".


    "A 4 vs 1 battle, it seems Jon Stones'' death didn''t send the exact message that I intended, perhaps your death will do better at that".


    "Maybe". Legs shrugged.


    This may seem like meaningless talk but these pinnacle warriors rapidly analyzed the conclusion of the first sh. With this, they sounded each other out enough, this time, they had no intentions to hold back.


    "Do you think the Grade C Superhuman alliance will save you?"


    "Before they get here, you will be dead".


    "I don''t intend for them to save me". Legs smiled. "I can save myself, what I instead know is that the Clown Society is going down today".


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration!


    Beast Integration Sessful!


    You have fused with Ak


    ----


    This time, Legs decided to break his normal preference, he fused with Ak. After the Grade C evolution, he felt differences and growth in all 3 of his beasts but the development that most attuned with him was that of Ak.


    After the Grade C breakthrough, Ak became the perfect leader.


    A leader of beasts, a Shepherd, this was Legs'' real identity and it was perfect with Ak, Legs did not hesitate to conclude the fusion.

    ----


    Whoosh!


    Even as the tsunami picked up, what instead stole the show was the authoritative aura of an Emperor that now radiated from Legs''s being.


    This aura affected not just his beasts but their opponents too.


    Legs grinned. "This feels more like it¡­"


    "Bring it on!"


    The battle began in earnest.


    BOOM!


    Legs didn''t even need tomunicate with his beasts verbally, through the aura alone, he couldmunicate his thoughts to his beasts.


    Their teamwork increased topletely horrifying levels.


    This was why even though they were against the 4 ck Masters of the Clown Society, they were barely able to stand their ground.


    Though it was barely, this was alone in itself a historic feat!


    After 5 minutes, Legs was finally overpowered as Craxes'' breath scorched his skin but he already achieved his objective because they were finally here.


    After taking their time following his instructions to better maximize this opportunity to overwhelm their opponents, the Grade C Alliance was finally here!

 Chapter 276 Clowns Masterpiece; A Culmination Of Decades Of Research And Crazy Scientism!

    "AWOO¡­!!!"


    Core Protector Shanks was the first warrior to announce their arrival.


    The mighty howl of the Might Wolf reverberated like thunder through the air. This was not just a show of power and mettle by this Wolf, but it was also an outlet to vent its anger of not fighting Clown thest time that they met.


    Thest time that they met, due to the shock of unveiling the experimental Giant, Core Protector Shanks was too spooked and he was deterred from attacking.


    This time was different, this time, they came to attack!


    Core Protector Shanks'' n was extremely sophisticated and for thepetence of the Grade C Superhumans who were to execute them, theirpetence was the best of the best in the whole.


    The execution already started.


    The howl of the Might Wolf was just a distraction, the execution already started about a minute ago. In the middle of the day as the sun bore down on this active volcano, hell descended on the Hellfire Mountains.


    Dozens of Grade C Superhumans descended on this Mountain.


    None of them hesitated, especially the Elementalists as they unleashed AOE disaster, intent on destroying the headquarters of their enemies.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The headquarters of the Clown Society was made to be as low profile as possible to avoid attracting attention, but they were already busted.


    Since this was already the case, the cave of the Clown Society no longer remained retracted. As soon as they were attacked, they retaliated like a Viper with incredible momentum, efficiency, and lethality.


    The airspace briefly shook as a gigantic energy shield was erected in the air. This shield was abination of lots of basic shields.


    Elementalist shields, shields generated by mechanic shield generators, and pure mana shields, they were allbined to form this defensive shield.


    Though it was not able to hold back the Grade C Superhumans for long, it bought just enough time for the psychopaths to organize their defenses.


    Since their remaining 4 leaders were already embroiled in a battle of their own, they could not help them which left the Red Masters and other psychopaths isted. Despite facing such powerful opponents, they did not lose hope.


    A trait that was universal of the psychopaths of the Clown Society was that most of them never followed logic, the order of chaos already twisted their brains.


    The psychopaths were crazy, they were unbridled.


    They knew that they would likely die, so they embraced it with gusto to go in the most explosive manner possible.


    "Unleash the Element Bombs!" A Red Master ordered.


    "If we''re to go today, we need to go in a way that we''ll be remembered".


    "We need to show our loyalty to his Almighty".


    "We need to show our loyalty to the order of chaos".


    "Fear not brethren, let our faith witness us".


    "Almighty, witness your devout servant of chaos!" A Red Master yelled in a maniacal manner as this powerful Elementalistunched himself at the descending Grade C powerhouses.


    Before they could obliterate him, he obliterated himself.


    He pulled the trigger of the Element Bomb.


    In hisst moments, his eyes shone maniacally in pure belief and pleasure.


    "WITNESS ME!!!"


    BOOM!


    This Red Master exploded into bloody bits and pieces.


    His death was not in vain though, the explosion of such a vtile bomb was not something that Grade C Superhumans could casually shrug especially if more wereing and their recipients were the paper sses.


    The Grade C Superhumans had to protect themselves as the maniacal suicide bombersunched towards them while pleasuring themselves in bright explosions.


    Like they wished, they left this world in an explosive manner.


    "FOR CHAOS!"


    "FOR CLOWN THE ALMIGHTY!"


    "FOR THE CAUSE OF PSYCHOPATHS!"


    "WITNESS ME!!!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The explosions alone were not enough to deter Grade C Superhumans though. Once the Pugilists took the forefront, the psychopaths saw red.


    Individually, these Grade C Pugilists may not be as strong as Jon Stones but they were still existences at the pinnacle of the. Their charges cleaved entire holes through the defensive formation of the psychopaths.


    When the Pugilists finally managed to reduce the frequency of their suicide charges, the Grade C Summoners and Elementalists could finally intervene.


    Once they intervened, the oue became easily predictable.


    Psychopaths were ughtered!


    Explosions filled this mountain close to the sea as the volcano became even more active and vtile by the moment due to the increasing explosions.


    While the peripheral battle continued, the real battle raged inside.


    ¡­


    BOOM!


    As Din''s punch hit its mark, causing Legs''s chest to cave-in in a horrifying manner, the howl of the Might Wolf finally reverberated.


    Instantly after the howl, the ck Masters felt foreign presences directly inside the library with them. From the walls of the volcano, 2 Grade C Earth Elementalists suddenly made an appearance as they turned the library into a cage.


    Not just that, a Shadow Elementalist turned the library darker.


    The shocking thing was that neither Clown nor the other ck Masters knew while their opponents infiltrated this far. Another thing was¡­, how the f*ck did they freaking know the direction to the library like it was their backyard?


    Clown was shocked, he turned to look at Legs who smirked back at him. He needed no other confirmations; he was positive that Legs did this, the only question again was how did this freak teenager do it?


    Clown was destined to not receive any answer though.<novelnext></novelnext>


    The 2 Earth Elementalists and Shadow Elementalist did not do all these for nothing though, having heard everything from Christensen, Core Protector Shanks improvised his n, making it more targeted.


    The work of the Elementalists turning this library into a cage was part of the n, the real n included the part to make them surrender or kill them.


    Bzzz!


    5 other Grade C Superhumans teleported inside this library.


    Instantly after teleporting in, Hunter Master Lydia who led this entourage ignored the opponents as she threw the Space-time stabilizers and Gravitic Pullers into the air, the devices triggered instantly.


    The airspace became much more stabilized as Gravity increased by a ridiculous 30 times, all the Elementalists that levitated were pulled down.


    Teleportation was also already made impossible, the Space-time stabilizers that Newton provided were potent enough to hinder Grade C teleportation.


    Hunter Master Lydia red at Clown. "Norman, you''re surrounded".


    "You''re cornered, surrender".


    The 8 Elementalists that came for this ambush including de let their energy run loose to intimidate their opponents. The first thing that Clown did was extend his senses outside, he instantly saw everything.


    His headquarters was already engulfed in fire and chaos.


    Giant-1 was already unleashed but prepared this time, led by Core Protector Shanks, over a dozen Grade C Superhumans ganged up on the Giant.


    What shocked him more was the 5 more Grade C Superhumans that charged towards his researchb, their intentions were clear. Clown inclined his head to look at Legs onest time then he closed his eyes.


    Hunter Master Lydia took that as weakness, she pressed.


    "Do yourself a favor and live Norman, surrender and I''ll promise¡­"


    "Hahaha¡­!" Clown''s crazyughter interrupted this Hunter Master.


    "Hehehe¡­!"


    "Hohoho¡­!" Clown''s eyes were no longer normal, they now embodied craziness and excitement as his blood boiled and flowed faster.


    "Ironic, you hypocrites have now be thetest servants of the order of chaos, I''m d". His eyes squinted in pleasure as he enjoyed the chaos and death.


    He spread his hands. "This is the ideal world, a world of chaos".


    "That is who we are, chaos, that is the real human nature".


    "Every other bloody thing is made up!"


    "Today, I will make you all see the brilliance of chaos, the brilliance of human nature!"


    Master Hunter Lydia felt a bad feeling as Clown spoke. "Whatever you''re nning, it won''t work Norman, stop it before¡­"


    "Before what?" Heughed. "You really think it won''t work?"


    "Be my guest". He grinned. "Now!"


    ck Master Einstein reacted fastest and took the lead.


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Whirlwind of Fire and Sand!"


    As a battle kickstarted, Clown did not take part in it, he sneaked away and burrowed his way into the earth. With his Wind Affinity and his Distorted Reality Sage ability, he fooled them all as he charged towards hisb.


    The cage of the enemies was well thought out but it was not enough to stop a crazy Elementalist and scientist like him.


    By the time that Legs and the others detected it, Clown was already far gone. They did not hesitate to go after him in pursuit even as the other ck Masters kept on spamming attacks at them to hinder them.


    On arriving at hisb, Clown saw destruction.


    The Grade C enemies did not spare a second nce at anything as they destroyed rampantly. Clown eyed them seriously before sneaking in.


    Before they could detect the intruder, Clown already essed his test subjects. As soon as the Cockroach, Flying Mantis, and Crocodile prime test subjects saw him, their imnted chips made them cooperate.


    Inside their protective cabins, Clown finally started the mechanism. Nothing hindered it anymore; the connected cables channeled the energy.


    HUM!!!


    The loud humming sound attracted a lot of attention.


    When the Grade C Superhumans finally looked, they saw the familiar fluctuation as pure energy from the core entered these 3 cabins. The 3 test subjects inside it squirmed and convulsed as the power surged into them.


    The Grade C Superhumans were shocked. "Stop the process!"


    "Destroy those boxes!"


    They did not hesitate.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A few secondster, everything died down as they waited for the oue. While they waited for the smoke to die down, Clown saw the oue first.


    "Hahaha¡­!" This psychopath''s crazyughter gave them goosebumps.


    "Hehehe¡­!"


    "Hahaha¡­, kneel before the power of technology and biotechnology!"


    "Kneel before the power of greatness!"


    "Kneel before the culmination of my life research!"


    "Kneel before the power of Clown the Almighty!" He spread his hands.


    BOOM!


    The energy finally erupted out, 3 energies that already exceeded the Grade C Realm, everyone of the Grade C Superhumans here were petrified.


    "How¡­?!"

 Chapter 277 Clowns Slaughterhouse; A World Of Chaos! [1]

    What changed everything was thew of conservation of energy.


    Thew of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be converted from one form of energy to another.


    Being exposed to thisw changed Norman''s view of life.


    His master always hid it from him, insisting that he was not matured enough but when Norman took a secret glimpse at thisw that defined the universe as a whole, his outlook of energy and its uses was overturned.


    ''So, super energy is just a form of energy in the universe''.


    ''The same way there is gravitational energy, maic energy, kic energy, so also is there super energy or mana roaming in the universe simply waiting to be harnessed and converted into useful form''.


    ''Through super knowledges, we learned to convert energy into useful forms''.


    ''Through technology, aliens learned to convert the universal energies into basic energies like electric energy and mechanical energy''.


    ''If this world is simply a box of energy that can be converted into any form, then that means there''s no limits to what research and discoveries can do''.


    ''If this is true, then the Grade B realm is no real limit at all''.


    His eyes gleamed. ''It''s only a cap because no one from our has broken there yet, we are simply being held back by our psychological deficiencies''.


    ''I will solve this deficiency!"


    ''I will break the Grade B barrier!"


    ''One way or another, I will do it!"


    That day, Norman''s decade-long research and nning began.


    The order of chaos and everything else simply followed, now, after decades of research and psychotic experiments, he finally experienced a sess with Giant-1 after channeling the energy of the core and converting it.


    After that breakthrough, the epiphany from it opened his eyes more.


    His remaining 3 prime test subjects were more optimized for the energy conversion. In their specially designed alien cabins, Norman already set all the proper parameters to handle the channeling and conservation of energy.


    What happened inside the cabins was simply conservation of raw energy from the core into usable super energy, rapidly empowering the beasts.


    The natural process of super growth was gradually assimting more super energy as you evolved, but with this conversion of energy, Norman broke the natural process, simply deciding to feed his test subjects with energy.


    This resulted in an incredible situation where instead of growing through decades the normal way, the test subjects received artificial rapid growth.


    Inside the cabin, the 3 test subjects convulsed rapidly as power flowed through them. Even as the attacks from outside destroyed the cabins, the power already flowed through them and transformed them qualitatively.


    Inside the cabin, all 3 test subjects with eyes closed familiarized with their powers, Clown saw this first and was why heughed maniacally.


    "Hahaha¡­!" This psychopath''s crazyughter gave every warrior that was present goosebumps.


    "Hehehe¡­!"


    "Hahaha¡­, kneel before the power of technology and biotechnology!"


    "Kneel before the power of conservation of energy!"


    "Kneel before the power of greatness!"


    "Kneel before the culmination of my life research!"


    "Kneel before the power of Clown the Almighty!" He spread his hands.


    BOOM!


    The gigantic Draconic Crocodile woke up first!


    This gigantic beast broke out of the remnants of its cabin. Oning out, silvery blue energy snaked through the body of this beast like lightning as an incredible power flowed through its body, making it feel invincible.


    The aura that already exceeded the Grade C realm was tangible.


    Feeling it''s power, this beast blew air out of its lungs and roared.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    "Screeeech¡­!!!"


    The roar of the Draconic Crocodile was followed by the high-pitched scream of the gigantic Praying Mantis with Dragon Wings. Whereas the Crocodile''s roar was harmless, the Praying Mantis'' shriek was filled with power.


    From a distance where he rushed to the scene, Legs felt it.


    -----


    You have been attacked by a heavily biologically modified beast with a rare Sound Affinity: Crane Mantis!


    You have been affected by an ability: Soul Shriek!


    You have been affected by the effect: Shaken Soul!


    >Shaken Soul: It has a 30% chance of triggering when affected by the Soul Shriek ability, -20% Defense and Vitality, both physical and psychological for 5 seconds after being affected<


    [Warning: Clown''s Bio-Monstrosity has exceeded the boundaries of the Grade C+ realm despite not being a real Grade B Monster!]


    ----


    Legs was horrified. "The others¡­, they''re in danger!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    ¡­


    If Legs who was still far away was affected so much by the shriek of the gigantic Crane Mantis, the fate of the 5 Grade C Superhumans stuck in the researchb with the 3 beasts and their masters could only be imagined.


    All 5 of them felt like their souls were smashed by a sledgehammer.


    In their stunned state, the Undying Cockroach also broke out of its cabin. This gigantic Cockroach after devouring the energy fed into it experienced the greatest growth in size, this Cockroach was now as huge as a building.


    As soon as all 3 beasts came out, they turned to look at their creator.


    On seeing this, Clown grinned. "The chip¡­, still works".


    He looked and admired the 3 culmination of his ambition for decades before turning to look at the enemies, he said only one word. "Kill!"


    Even back on Earth, the Nile Crocodile upied the Kingly seat of the animal with the strongest known bite force in the entire animal kingdom.


    As for Clown''s Draconic Crocodile, apart from its original Dragon bloodline that already gave it an advantage, Clown also integrated Giant Runes into this beast while also adding additional mechanical imnts to it.


    This Draconic Crocodile also had ess to psionic energy.


    This beast? This beast was a Bio-Mechanic Monstrosity!


    Of the 3 prime test subjects, if the Undying Cockroach was the defensive bulwark of the lot, the Crane Mantis was the support while the Draconic Crocodile was the undisputed main damage dealer.


    As soon as Clown gave the order, the Crocodile''s imnt registered it.


    Boom!


    This beast lunged forward with incredible speed.


    One of the enemy Grade C Superhumans was an Elementalist. Because of the Gravitic Pullers that were erected by Hunter Master Lydia, he was also affected and could not levitate in the skies, this put him in Big Croc''s range.


    This Elementalist''s eyes widened, all he saw was the expanding maws that appeared in his vision, the Croc''s teeth pped together in a sickening crunch.


    CRUNCH!


    The gigantic Crocodile bit, crunched, and repeatedly crunched.


    Blood poured like a river, few flesh got to hit the floor, the rest simply flowed into the gigantic belly of this Draconic Crocodile.


    In less than a second, a Grade C Superhuman was dead!


    The others were horrified. "Attack and defend!"


    They tried to organize themselves but the 3 beasts didn''t even deem it worthwhile to defend against their attacks. In this cramped researchb, the Pugilists became the luckiest, the remaining 2 Summoners did not have a nice fate.


    "SCREECH¡­!!!"


    This time, the shriek from the Crane Mantis was an even greater attack. All their eardrums burst at the same time as blood flowed from their ears!


    Following the disorientation that followed this, they could not react.


    The Undying Cockroach opened its mouth and sucked.


    The 2 Summoners were sucked including the closest Pugilist. These Grade C Superhumans who had stood at the peak of this tried to flex their powers but not today, they were faced by opponents that were stronger than them.


    The 2 Summoners were sucked into the ckhole-like pit of a stomach that the Cockroach had where their energy was processed by psionic energy into nutrients to power the gigantic body of this beast.


    The Pugilist barely survived only to receive another st from the Crane Mantis, this unfortunate brother was knocked silly by the hit to his soul.


    He barely clung to life but not for long.


    Crunch!


    The Draconic Crocodile''s teeth imed another Grade C life!


    The death of 3 Grade C Superhumans was a significant event in Darvis considering they were supposed to be the strongest superhumans, Hunter Master Lydia and the others were horrified as they finally arrived at the scene.


    Feeling the lingering auras of their counterparts, they shook in rage.


    The Hunter Master exploded as her long ck hair waved in the air in an expression of her fury. "NORMAN, YOU SHALL DIE TODAY!"


    "Hahaha¡­, I''ll die dly knowing I became a legend!" Clownughed.


    Even as his opponents got prepared to gang up on him and his beasts and attack them, his eyes gleamed sharply as he gave anothermand.


    Click!


    With a clicking sound, the ground beneath him opened up as a standing cabin was brought up. The cabin opened to reveal a stacked mechanical suit.


    Clown grinned. "Wee to my ughterhouse!"


    "Today shall be forever remembered as the day Grade C Superhumans were ughtered by Clown the Almighty!"


    "Today shall forever be etched in your arrogant brains!"


    Clown equipped the mechanical suit and switched it on as this machine hummed to life. "Today, we dine in hell!"

 Chapter 278 Clowns Slaughterhouse; A World Of Chaos! [2]

    "Lydia Specialty: Wind of Doom!"


    "Lydia Specialty: Aurora of Death!"


    "Lydia Specialty: Wind Predator!"


    "Lydia Specialty: Gaze of Death!"


    Bzzz!


    For a long time, Hunter Master Lydia tried to analyze the activities of the Clown Society to deduce the real motive of Newton''s student. As a veteran warrior, during the years, she already constructed most of her ideals.


    To her, there was noplete viin nor hero, people change.


    She wanted to deduce Norman''s real motivation to see if she could end everything amicably, she believed that every warrior had a 2nd chance.


    She always tried to look at the most extreme of humans even a genocidal terrorist like Clown from an objective point, but now, she confirmed that she was wrong. Clown was a maniac, a maniacal murderer who was beyond redemption.


    While Core Protector Shanks nned on how to raid the Hellfire Mountains, her own preference was for Clown to surrender to end everything without violence.


    Originally, she believed that once Clown saw the number of Grade C Superhumans that came after him, he would he shocked into surrender.


    Oh how she was wrong, she never expected the psychopath to create more monstrosities that already exceeded the Grade C realm, she underestimated him.


    To her, this was not just a stunt to impress his master.


    To her now, Norman was really a psychopath who simply deserves death.


    Seeing 3 of the Grade C Superhumans that they spent much time and effort convincing to join this effort die so meaninglessly to the beasts, she lost it. Even a pacifist could get angry at times and when they do, they are scary.


    Lydia was a Wind Elementalist, a veteran who had toured the underworld and hunted for centuries before founding the Hunter Union.


    Fueled by fury now, this Elementalist channeled all the umtion of her powers throughout all those years to obliterate this terrorist.


    To this warrior, the Wind Element was just an extension of her body. She had mastered control over the Wind Element to such a horrifying degree that at her peak state, she could seamlessly fuse with it and be wind itself.


    Under her control, the lethal Wind Element was tamed before being unleashed as it went on a rampage like raging fire in a dry harmattan.


    She was not alone, the other angry Grade C Superhumans helped her as they drenched this researchb in their fury, the attacks were numerous and deadly.


    Just 1 Grade C Superhuman could already deal significant damage to anything that they attacked, when so many of them attacked together, it was a disaster that few could live through and survive.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The researchb could not withstand it, the concentrated bombardment from so many Grade C Superhumans overloaded it''s endurance limits.


    This researchb caved in and disappearedpletely, what was left in its wake was simply a ruin. When the dust and bright lights died down, the enemies were still intact, only the Undying Cockroach had its mouth open.


    It was from the mouth of this Cockroach that a gigantic shield with 3 different lights lit up that protected them all from the lethal attacks.


    "Hahaha¡­!" Clown''sughter reverberated from inside the mech suit.


    "Behold my greatest defensive creation, I call it the 3-Energy Shield".


    "Abination of Psionic Energy, Super Energy, and raw core energy from the core to create this shield, it''s unbreakable by the likes of you".


    "Now, witness what real power is!"


    Hum!!!


    The mechanical suit hummed for a few seconds like it was recharging, the next moment, the mechanical suit turned into a literal war fortress.


    From different parts of its body, gun muzzles came out as they unleashed their loads. Not just that, it also had missile modules and Norman did not hesitate to activate it as lethal missile warheads wereunched at the enemies.


    BOOM!


    The impact and explosions were unlike anything that these Grade C Superhumans had experienced before, they were damaged and injured.


    And still, that was not all, amid the explosions, the machine hummed again as from its hand, a long extremely hot sma sword was brought out.


    "Face death!"


    "Embrace death!"


    "Feel it''s cold embrace".<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Experience what it feels like to be helpless before death!"


    Even as he got prepared to ditch death, Clown never lost his charisma of craziness, it felt like he was a Priest preaching the goodnews to lost sheep.


    "My children, join me, help me turn the Hellfire Mountains into Hell!"


    "Help me turn our home into our ughterhouse!"


    The 3 Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities led the counterattack against the Grade C Superhuman alliance and it was deadly.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Still integrated with Ak, Legs watched this battlefield like a hawk as he processed all the shocks of this vital encounter with the Clown Society''s core.


    Unlike the others, he was not pushed by his emotions to the extent where he threw his life away by confronting these monstrosities head-on.


    Like he always emphasized, Summoners used their head.


    His eyes showed pure amazement as he looked at the beast monstrosities.


    ''So, this is the power that can be harnessed when you decide to be psychotic? Powerful¡­!''


    ¡­


    BOOM!


    Core Protector Shanks was horrified as he saw the battlefield at the other side through the lens of his powerful Queen Bee contracted beast.


    Seeing Grade C Superhumans die with such casualty, this Core Protector was horrified. Originally, he thought that while the majority of them held the Giant, the others would be able to corner Norman and eliminate him.


    He never expected this psychopath to hide such a trump card though.


    Everything was happening so fast, he barely had time to think.


    In just a few minutes after Clown revealed his trump card, 9 Grade C Superhumans were already dead. To put this into context, in Shanks'' centuries of living, he had witnessed and heard of only 6 Grade C Superhuman deaths.


    The fact that 9 died today alone overturned this warrior''s overview of life, he felt confused, he felt in disbelief. ''Is this even possible?''


    "The others are dying!"


    "We can''t watch while they die!"


    Originally, when they were called, most of the Grade C Superhumans decided to join because they were persuaded. Most of them still saw the threat that Norman posed as trivial, it was till now that they saw the real thing.


    Seeing their equals dying like chicken today, their survival instincts kicked in, they definitely could not let this Clown live to see another day.


    They would do everything in their power to end this threat today.


    Core Protector Shanks made a decision. "Yes, we can''t watch them die".


    "Grog, Blood Hunter, Emak, you will go and broadcast the news of what is happening here. Tell every Grade C Superhuman in our of the threat to their life, if they don''t want to end up like the dead, they shoulde and fight for their survival".


    "It''s not just about the survival of the civilians that they look down on anymore, it is about the survival of Grade C Superhumans now".


    "Go now!"


    The 3 Grade C Superhumans did not hesitate, they teleported away.


    As for the remaining, even as they kept on holding the Giant, Core Protector Shanks gave new orders. "As for us, we join the others and fight".


    "Together, we stand a better chance against these beast monstrosities".


    "This is no longer a trivial terrorist attack".


    "This is a threat against our existence".


    "Fight like there is no tomorrow, we''ll fight for our survival!"


    Core Protector Shanks led the charge towards Clown''s location even as the Giant chased behind them, the battle was about to be a lot hotter!

 Chapter 279 Retaliation!

    Deep inside an isted space pocket hid the headquarters of the Crimson Assassins, few people knew of the existence of this pocket space.


    It was from inside this pocket space that Geralt watched the ongoing war.


    Through a ck crystal ball that emitted concentrated shadow energy, he was able to watch as Grade C Superhumans were ughtered. At this moment, he had a grim look on his face as he watched Clown''s Bio-Monstrosities rampage.


    "What do you think?"


    "We can''t stay idle; this is a threat to our very existence".


    "Norman does not know of the location of our pocket space".


    The figure in the darkness seemed to be surprised. "Geralt, did decades of staying in this pocket space ruin your perception of the world?"


    "If he wins, Norman will never stop till every Grade C Superhuman in the submits to him, there''s no ce for outcasts like us".


    "There''ll be no delicate bnce then like the one that we currently enjoy with the main organizations, Norman is a freaking psychopath, he doesn''t give an eff about what you and I think or want".


    Geralt kept quiet for a long time in thought.


    This was when he arrived.


    Bzzz!


    As a Grade C Elementalist with Shadow Affinity also, Emak knew the location of the headquarters of the Crimson Assassins and had the key to enter.


    Shadow energy was the key to ess this pocket space.


    Of the 3 Grade C Superhumans that Core Protector Shanks sent on the important mission, Emak was a Shadow Elementalist, Blood Hunter was a bizarre Elementalist that could manipte and travel through the blood of others.


    As for Grog, this Pugilist specialized in Speed.


    Onemon thing about all 3 of them was their speed and mobility, they were the fastest that Core Protector Shanks could mobilize for a mission like this.


    As soon as Emak arrived, Geralt turned to look at him.


    "How dare you intrude into my territory?"


    Feeling the powerful energy of this legendary assassin press down on him, Emak felt a little intimidated. Even among Grade C Superhumans, there were the weaker ones, the average ones, the strong ones, and the ridiculously strong ones.


    The ridiculously strong ones were those at thete Jon Stones'' level, the strong ones were Core Protector Shanks, Hunter Master Lydia, and Geralt.


    Majority of Grade C Superhumans were at the average level, Superhumans like Norman, Einstein, and Din were all at the average level.


    Then there were the few Grade C Superhumans like Emak who were at the weak level. Unlike the others, they were not one in lifetime geniuses, they mostly broke the Grade C barrier through a stroke of luck.


    Despite being intimidated, Emak still stood his ground before Geralt.


    "You know why I came here". He looked straight at Geralt''s eyes. "Core Protector Shanks asks for your help, this is our best chance to save the status quo".


    "If Norman wins, I think you have a better than I what will happen".


    He looked into the surrounding darkness. "I may not be as strong as you but I have strong shadow observation abilities, besides, I''ve known since long ago that there is another Grade C Assassin in the Crimson Assassins".


    "Senior, we also need your help". Emak was respectful.


    Geralt''s eyes narrowed at this brat''s perceptiveness, Emak was a whole generation younger than him so it was not wrong to call him a brat.


    After being busted, the hidden Shadow expert no longer bothered hiding, he came out. "I''m impressed by your Shadow Vision".


    Hearing this voice alone gave Emak goosebumps, he looked at this old wrinkled face with shock on his face. The wrinkled face, the grey hair and beards, the crooked body frame due to old age, he could not mistake it.


    "Shadow Progenitor Heimdall!" Emak knelt respectfully.


    The old man smiled at him before turning to look at his student. "Geralt, get ready, we''re going to war".


    He cracked his head. "It''s been long since I saw action, I can''t wait".


    ¡­


    Eastern Continent, headquarters of the Mercenary Online Alliance¡­


    Unlike other organizations in Darvis, the Mercenary Online Alliance was the onlywful organization that actively embraced alien technology.


    After years of development on alien technology, they were able to create a virtual server for themselves. After the creation was Online added to the organization''s name, most of their activities and missions were issued online.


    Unlike the other organizations though, despite the fact that everything from the Troll rebellion to the war now in the Hellfire Mountains being in their continent, they did not put much of their resources into the war against the Clown Society.


    This stopped after they saw live footage of the ongoing battle.


    Their rigid thoughts and beliefs for only benefit like merchants started changing, the Alliance was led by 5 equally powerful Mercenaries.


    Only 2 of them were Grade C Superhumans, but the others were remarkable in their own ways, as they helped in propping the Mercenary Online Alliance up. Notable of them was James, the man who created the online server.


    As they discussed among themselves, an intruder appeared.


    Whoosh!


    Grog charged inside this building like he was riding the wind itself, his powerful Pugilist Energy instantly attracted the attention of all 5 leaders.


    He was straightforward. "We need your help in this war".


    "No main organization or Grade C Superhuman can afford to stay idle again".<novelnext></novelnext>


    The 5 leaders looked at themselves then one of them became the representative and replied. "We''ll help".


    "Good". Grog nodded. "While running here, I saw the filthy Trolls led by that filthier Troll, kill him before reinforcing the effort in the Hellfire Mountains".


    The Mercenaries conveniently ignored Grog''s tone that made it seem like he was ordering them, they put their ego aside and prepared for war.


    The whole Mercenary Online Alliance was aroused to life.


    Grog didn''t have to go to the nearby headquarters of the Summoner Academy, Eleanor already worked to invite this powerhouse. What he instead did was start tracking Eleanor''s pocket space to draw her attention.


    While Grog and Emak fulfilled their duties, Blood Hunter also fulfilled his as he used his special abilities to contact most of the rogue Grade C Superhumans.


    ¡­


    "Special Summoner Ability: Beast Integration!"


    "Special Summoner Ability: Spirit Summoner!"


    "Shanks'' Specialty: Double Beast Integration!"


    Core Protector Shanks'' job in this battle contained a lot of pressure, as he led the over a dozen Grade C Superhumans to go intercept Clown and his other monstrosities, they also had to worry about the Giant charging after them.


    Despite the pressure, he and the others were able to keep their nerves to perform at their best at this moment.


    As soon as he activated the Beast Integration, he fused with his strongest beast, the Might Wolf. As a Wolf with the extremely rare Strength Affinity, this was Shanks'' magnum opus and he did not hesitate to utilize it now.


    That was not all though, instantly after he fused with the Wolf,bining to form what seemed like a mythical werewolf, he opened the bridge to the Spirit ne where an even more gigantic Spirit Wolf charged out.


    This was a Combat Spirit Beast but Core Protector Shanks did not let it fight alone, as soon as the beast arrived, still fused with the Might Wolf, he also fused with the Spirit Wolf, forming an unprecedented double fusion!


    In this state, Core Protector Shanks level exploded out with power.


    In this state, Core Protector Shanks was at his best.


    In this state, Core Protector Shanks felt himself return to his younger days when adventure still filled his bones and veins. As adrenaline surged through the body of this old Elementalist, he activated another ability.


    "Beast Ability: Strength-Gravity Press!"


    "Beast Ability: Might Smash!"


    Whoosh!


    Core Protector Shanksunched forward without any misgivings at an incredible speed, straight at the Draconic Crocodile that already killed so much.


    "DIE YOU MOTHERF*CKING MONSTER!" This Core Protector lost itpletely as he was caught up in the action and emotion.


    BOOM!


    He collided against the Crocodile in a mighty affair as the impact reverberated like that of 2s colliding against each other and imploding!


    The Crocodile felt the impact but that was all, as for Core Protector Shanks, he felt like he was hit by a hammer as he briefly became dizzy.


    The Crocodile almost pounced on this opportunity but Core Protector Shanks was not alone, Shanks'' Queen Bee sent hundreds of thousands of her bees at the Draconic Crocodile which swarmed it in their crazy numbers.


    This Crocodile may be crazy powerful, but swarming attacks could still stall it. Another thing was that the Bees were proficient in soul and mental attacks.


    While they attacked it amid its rampage, the Earthquake Hound stomped it''s gigantic limbs against the ground as an earthquake started aimed at the enemy beasts. This was when the Draconic Red-Scaled Lizard appeared.


    This Lizard that also looked like a Crocodile dealt the first meaningful blow against the Lizard as it''s dangerous rows of teeth prated the Croc''s defense.


    This Big Croc roared angrily as it tried to retaliate and crunch the Lizard to death but Hunter Master Lydia intervened as her lethal wind attacks hit.


    This set the momentum for this battlefield as with Core Protector Shanks and Hunter Master Lydia leading, the other Grade C Superhumans finally found enough reprieve to showcase their extreme destructive powers.


    Even when the Giant arrived, they still stood their ground but not for long.


    BOOM!


    Another m of the powerful fists of the Giant finally imed another Grade C life, the opening from this death allowed the Big Croc to strike again.


    One deadly lunge and another Grade C Superhuman was cut, in the process of crunching this human to death, this was when shadows appeared.


    2 deadly assassins appeared from the shadows.


    Their cold pitch-ck eyes alone ignited the Big Croc''s danger instincts!


    After over a century since theyst did it, the master and student of shadows finally unleashed their trademark move that instantly attracted all the attention.


    "Sure-Assassination Combination Ability: Geralt and Heimdall!"


    "1st Move: Knife and Knife¡­"


    Geralt''s pitch-ck eyes gleamed. "Take this f*ckster!"

 Chapter 280 I AM GOD!

    "Sure-Assassination Combination Ability: Geralt and Heimdall!"


    "1st Move: Knife and Knife!"


    The thick veil of shadows that converged and covered this ability was what first attracted Core Protector Shanks'' attention. Hearing the words gave him goosebumps, seeing the twin knife silhouettes appear, he felt pumped!


    "That old geezer is still alive!" He felt shocked, relieved, and excited all at the same time as this killer move was impably executed.


    He detected no signs of age from the old geezer nor any signs of rustiness from his student despite it being over a century since theyst used it.


    Back in the days when figures like Jon Stones roamed the, causing terror everywhere they entered, with Newton bing notorious for his deadly chemicals, the figure that actually attracted the most dread was one man, Heimdall.


    Having mastered the dark arts of the Shadow Element, Heimdall was the deadliest assassin alive. Everywhere he moved, death followed.


    Today, this assassin was finally brought to life again alongside his student.


    As soon as the words were said, amid the thick veil of shadow, 2 hands appeared each holding a knife. As Heimdall and Geralt attacked from the shadows, an extremely concentrated streak of knife energy also followed.


    In the process of killing another Grade C Superhuman, the Draconic Crocodile barely had time to react to the attack before they hit it''s thick scales.


    BOOM!


    The sound was like pping thunders and exploding dominoes!


    The Crocodile made a strange groaning sound as soon as the attack hit.


    Both knife energies hit a single point in the Crocodile''s scales, concentrating their lethality to such a ridiculous extent that the Crocodile reacted in pain.


    "Grauwgg¡­!!!" The Crocodile''s thick scales were cut open but that was all.


    Blood flowed but the Crocodile could heal it in no time, Geralt and Heimdall were shocked at theck of effectiveness of their attack unlike they were used to but they were far from done.


    Even if this fellow already exceeded the Grade C realm, they were no pushovers, their pitch-ck eyes gleamed even fiercer.


    The pain caused the Crocodile to let go of the Superhuman, enabling this Pugilist to barely escape with his life despite losing a lot of blood and flesh.


    From the time of attack till now, it was not even a second yet.


    This was when the 2nd attack run came.


    "2nd Move: Knife and Dagger!"


    Once again, the speed of attack was too fast for the Crocodile to catch up with, he could not react as the attack descended on it''s scales with venom.


    This time, the shadow energies of the knife and dagger were even thinner and more concentrated. They hit the same spot that they already injured without missing, internally, the Crocodile rolled in pain and agony.


    Bam!


    Unlike the first time, the impact of the attack was even more subdued but the damage that was inflicted was crazy as the Crocodile bled a river.


    Geralt and Heimdall were still not done.


    "3rd Move: Dagger and Dagger!"


    "4th Move: Ultimate Blood Sacrifice!"


    Assassins were filthy, they were deadly, they almost never yed by the rules, they could do anything just to end the lives of their opponents.


    Neither Heimdall nor his student were saints, they engaged in dark arts.


    The 4th move of their ultimatebination ability was no mere assassination ability again, it was a blood ritual ability. By spilling their own blood, they were able to amplify the effects of their assassination by more than 10 times!


    Bzzz!


    The incredible power convergence literally squeezed the airspace.


    The Draconic Crocodile felt fear for its life since it was reborn by Clown.


    Till the 3rd attack by this assassin duo, it was still less than a second and the Crocodile had no time to dodge. It was the same ce, the twin dagger shadow energies ravaged through the opened wound of this Draconic Crocodile.


    The impact was not explosive, merely a slicing sound.


    Shwa!


    The sound reverberated through the air coldly like when a sharp knife cut a vegetable apart with speed, this was how sharp it was.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "ROAR¡­!!!" The Crocodile roared in pain.


    Despite its Draconic bloodline defense, despite it''s Giant Runes, when faced against an attack that was strong enough, it''s scales still gave way.


    To the disbelieving eyes of every Superhuman present watching this battle, the twin dagger shadow energies cut this powerful Crocodile in twain!


    "They did it!"


    "They f*cking did it!" This was the reaction of the Superhumans.


    Shocked by the incredible assassination ambush and its effectiveness, the spooked Dragon Fly with Dragon Wings and the Undying Cockroach finally reacted as they tried to attack the 2 Shadow Elementalists but they were not alone.


    Against amon enemy, the Grade C Superhumans who rarely ever did anything together were now united to a horrifying degree to fight their enemy.


    Led by Core Protector Shanks, they protected the 2 Shadow Assassins.


    Geralt and Heimdall came out of their crazy ambush unscathed.


    "Nice one old man!"


    Heimdall simply chuckled proudly in a disconcerting manner fitting an old geezer assassin as Core Protector Shanks protected his retreat.


    Now, they defended while simply watching to see what would happen to the Crocodile. The best news was for this beast to die immediately.


    Inside his mech suit, Clown was also shocked by the incredible disy.


    "Hahahahahahaha¡­.!" Clown''sughter chilled bones.


    "Good¡­, hahaha¡­, what a disy, I love it!"


    "This is the order of chaos!"


    "This is the reason why I work so hard!"


    "Witnessing genius disys like this, without the chaos caused by me, we would have never witnessed such a ridiculous disy of power!"


    "Hehehehe¡­, chaos is god!"


    Clown''s crazy words andughter were not what disconcerted the Superhumans the most, it was the process that now went on in the Crocodile''s body. Originally, the divided body parts free-fell but they now stopped falling.


    Like they were affected by a strange energy field, both body parts paused in the air and the next moment, they elerated towards each other.


    On colliding, a mighty power exploded.


    Abination of psionic, super, and pure core energy exploded.


    BOOM!


    After the explosion, the 2 separated flesh seamlessly reattached themselves. The Draconic Crocodile''s aura felt weaker but that was not what mattered, what mattered was that the Crocodile actually revived!


    Feeling and seeing their shock, Clown cackled maniacally.


    "Hahahaha¡­!"


    "Hehehe¡­!"


    "Hohoho¡­!"


    "Witness the power of God!"


    "I am God!"


    "Bow, acknowledge me, worship me and I may consider allowing all of you to live and witness the golden age of the order of chaos".


    "BOW BEFORE YOUR GOD!"


    Core Protector Shanks was horrified. "W-What power is this?!"

 Chapter 281 The Only Alternative

    "Phasing Crocodile Breath: Monstrous Laser!"


    BOOM!


    Individually, psionic, super, and pure core energy were vtile source of energy. When they werebined in such quantities and ratios to facilitate the revival of the Crocodile, not all the energy was used up.


    The residual energy was enough for the revived Crocodile to attack.


    The Draconic Crocodile did not hesitate, making use of its energetic power reactor, this Crocodile controlled all the energy and unleashed it as a beam.


    For a brief moment, it was like an angel of death passed through.


    "DEFEND!" Hunter Master Lydia roared even as she took the lead.


    "Lydia Specialty: Unmovable Heaven''s Gate; Wind!"


    Under the control of this powerful warrior, a picture of heaven seemed to be painted in the air. Then from heaven came unadulterated heaven wind, a wind apanied by a white mist that raged to form a tsunamic gate defense.


    Hunter Master Lydia was not alone, even as Geralt and Heimdall struggled to shift to the back and escape the attack, Core Protector Shanks focused on protecting them. Even at this, the other Superhumans used their own abilities.


    Dozens of shields were erected making use of different types of energies.


    After all these hasty preparations, the death angel''s attack finally hit.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    It was just one attack, but the impact and consequent sound that followed was like a charging battalion of Hell warriors battered against the dozen energy shields.


    Pop!


    Hunter Master Lydia''s shield held the most since it was the sturdiest, but facing the brunt of the full attack, the shield popped in just a few seconds!


    The others were mostly shattered with indomitable force!


    Horrified, all the Grade C Superhumans used their various life-preservation techniques to brace themselves for the impact that would surelye.


    On impact, most felt like they were suddenly flung in space.


    Their innards turned, their intestines churned, it was a terrible experience but their incredible teamwork to weaken most of the attack worked. Most of them suffered terrible injuries only, but there was an unlucky one.


    The Grade C Summoner regretted not having a defensive contracted beast.


    All his beasts were equally decent offensive powerhouses, this became his bane as due to theck of a defensive beast, the momentum of the incredibleser breath could not be stopped as he was roasted to a ck crisp.


    "Ahhh¡­.!" The screams of death of this warrior were hisst words.


    "ROAR!" The Draconic Crocodile roared victoriously at them.


    "¡­"


    The Grade C Superhumans were silenced in defeat.


    This was the 11th Grade C Superhuman death today!


    Having expelled the residual energy from theplicated mechanism to recover from death, the Crocodile felt a little drained and was now weaker.


    This didn''t matter much though since it was still a fearsome powerhouse to face for any Grade C Superhuman. As for those who confronted it, after the Ultimate Blood Sacrifice, Geralt and Heimdall felt weaker than ever before.


    They may have damaged the beast, but it did note without a price.


    They could make use of their trademark attack only one more time, but did it matter?


    This question was hard to answer, none of them knew how many times Clown''s Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities could use that mechanism to revive themselves, Clown really broke thews of physics and science this time.


    If this psychotic terrorist didn''t get their respect yet but only hate before, after these subsequent happenings, Clown finally received what he expected.


    The Grade C Superhumans felt respect and fear for this psychopath.


    Feeling their fear, Clown ruthlessly fed on it.


    "Hahaha¡­!"


    "Hehehe¡­!"


    "Hohoho¡­!"


    "Weaklings, join me, surrender to the order of chaos and you may receive an opportunity to live with a high status in my new world of chaos".


    The Grade C Superhumans felt humiliated at his words but they could not respond, at this moment, Clown had the power to back his words.


    Feeling the draining morale of the Grade C Alliance and the subtle reaction of some of them to Clown''s words, Core Protector Shanks was provoked.


    "We can''t fail!" His voice reverberated with power and confidence.


    Originally, he simply wanted to say someforting and motivating words but he changed as soon as he started. He turned to look at them. "Do you really want this kid to bring us all to our knees?"


    "We are Grade C Superhumans!"


    "We''re f*cking warriors!"


    "We stand at the pinnacle of strength in Darvis".


    "Being a Grace C Superhuman entails more than a name, ites with a responsibility, it is our duty to rid our of threats like this".


    "Warriors don''t run from war and death, we embrace it!"


    Not feeling what he expected, he felt a little disappointed but he did not let this get to him, he increased the tempo, his voice increased.


    "WE''RE WARRIORS!"


    "Don''t give up on me now".


    "Let''s show this f*cker what we''re made of".


    "We never retreat!"


    "We never surrender!"


    Core Protector Shanks no longer cared of the reaction of the Grade C Superhumans behind him, lost in the passion already, he led the charge again.


    "I may not be a genius like Norman, but at least I''m smart".


    "There''s no inexhaustible energy, when drained enough, they''ll fall!"


    "Let''s wear these beasts to death!"


    "Let''s make them dread the day they challenged the warriors of Darvis!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "SHANKS SPECIALTY: QUADRUPLE BEAST DOMINATION!"


    Core Protector Shanks'' brave move pumped most of the warriors up. They lost their misgivings, instead they felt ashamed for being intimidated by a junior that only rose to fame a few generations below theirs.


    "We can''t let a junior bully us!"


    "If I retreat today or surrender, I won''t be able to face my Master even in death, this needs to end here and now!"


    "TODAY, WE EITHER DIE OR WE DIE!"


    They all exploded with power.


    Clown responded excitedly to their enthusiasm. "Hahaha¡­!"


    "This is CHAOS!"


    ¡­


    After managing to convince Geralt and the Shadow Progenitor Heimdall to lend their power to the war efforts, Emak ignored every other superhuman that he knew and simply focused on one.


    The While me may only be an average Grade C Warrior, but her support abilities were simply too valuable in a war of this scale.


    With her support, the Grade C Alliance stood a better chance.


    This was why Emak gave his all to locating her pocket space.


    It took all the experience that this Shadow Elementalist had umted through centuries, including his intuition and a lot of other coincidences before he was finally able to locate her pocket space.


    Since their affinities were different, entering her pocket space was hard but as a professional smuggler before bing a Grade C Superhuman, Emak always found a way and today again, he found a way.


    Bzzz!


    As soon as he teleported in, he froze as 2 pair of eyes pinned him down.


    Instantly, this Shadow expert''s face turned red as he looked away. He didn''t look away for long though as the iconic face of the muscr man shed back in his head, shocked, he turned back to look.


    On seeing the familiar face, Emak literally shook in emotion as he fell to his knees in respect. "S-senior¡­, you survived?"


    Jon Stones sighed before letting go of her. "Emak¡­"


    By now, of course they already finished their primal pleasurable activities as humans and they were simply enjoying each other''spany before the Shadow Elementalist came.


    Emak''s appearance reminded them of the situation of the outside world.


    "How is it going?"


    "Not good". Emak wanted to borate but before he did, he paused before bowing his head. "Senior, thank you again for 130 years ago".


    "Without your help, I would have never survived the Zombie Abomination Bear!" This warrior sincerely expressed his gratitude.


    After Jon Stones nodded in acknowledgement, he no longer held back as he narrated everything to the number of Grade C Superhumans that already died before he told them of the mission that Core Protector Shanks gave him.


    Jon Stones stood up. "9 Grade C Superhumans dead¡­"


    "This¡­, is really unprecedented". His tone betrayed his astonishment.


    "I admit, even in death, Newton''s brat''s achievement would remain a legend though a dark one in the history of our".


    "Sir, will you help us?" Emak pleaded.


    Jon Stones smiled bitterly. "I would have loved to help now but I am not back to 100%, it''s almost impossible for me to fully recover in a short time but I have a secret ability that can elerate my recovery".


    "I will need some time alone". He turned to face Eleanor and without any misgivings about Emak''s feelings kissed her passionately on the lips.


    After separation, he clenched his fists. "Go fight for our".


    "I will join youter".


    Eleanor did not hesitate, she nodded firmly before donning her war gear and turning to leave with Emak. Neither of them hesitated.


    Bzzz!


    ¡­


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    For over an hour and 30 minutes, the war raged.


    Despite the White me''s appearance, not much could be done about the offensive aspect. Of course, with her healing, more Grade C Superhumans survived but the lethality of the Bio-Mechanic beasts was still next level.


    After so long of intense battle, the Draconic Crocodile was already weakened thrice with the other 2 Bio-Mechanic beasts being weakened each once.


    Despite this, they remained powerful.


    Just today, 15 Grade C Superhumans were already dead!


    After the death of the 15th Grade C Superhuman, Core Protector Shanks could no longer take it anymore. No matter how arrogant and optimistic he was, he had to ept it, they were losing badly.


    ''This can''t keep going on''. This bloodied old man felt despair for the first time in centuries.


    ''This can''t go on''.


    ''This definitely can''t keep going on''.


    ''Something needs to change''.


    Core Protector Shanks cracked his brain for an answer but none came, only one alternative remained in his mind.


    Watching Clown''s Bio-Mechanic beasts dominate, his eyes shone with determination the next moment as he made a difficult decision.


    ''This is the only alternative''.


    Bzzz!


    To the shock of all the Grade C Superhumans present, Core Protector Shanks tore the fabric of space open before teleporting out of the battlefield.


    "¡­?!"


    Shock, fear, disbelief, they all gripped the fighting Superhumans.


    "Did¡­, he escape???!" They were horrified.

 Chapter 283 YOU MUST FIGHT!

    The Southern Continent¡­


    Bzzz!


    Core Protector Shanks teleported directly inside the headquarters of the Elementalist Academy. At this moment, despite most of its members already going to war, a serene atmosphere still filled this headquarters.


    On returning to the pure-white and neat researchb, Core Protector Shanks only needed to incline his head a bit to see him.


    Gabbed in his whiteb coat, his long grey hair remained tied in a bun with the special force field hat holding his hair in ce.


    Like usual, Newton was so focused on his work that he didn''t seem to notice the intruder. With his sses, this Elementalist looked like a sage.


    With an extremely concentrated look on his face, he held a beaker containing a purple fluid that sizzled like it had acidic and vtile properties as he carefully poured it into an orange mixture.


    As he carefully poured, he also carefully observed the metrics of the nearby machine, analyzing every change in the properties of the mixture.


    On seeing him, Core Protector Shanks said nothing.


    The stench of blood and battlefield that he brought with him pervaded this room as he red at the scientist, the re became so prative that Newton''s concentration was finally affected.


    The scientist paused before his hand could shake.


    He did not turn around. "I already told you, I will not fight my student, the most I can do is offer support to ease¡­"


    "SHUT UP!" Core Protector Shanks snapped.


    Crack!


    Newton''s grip tightened, the beaker could not resist the force as it shattered instantly, spilling its contents on the neat floor of this researchb.


    "¡­"


    An oppressive atmosphere instantly descended on thisboratory.


    Newton looked down at hisb coat that was burnt by the lethal purple liquid. With a single shake of his hand, the whiteb coat was discarded off before he smoothly gabbed a new and cleaner one.


    He dropped the remaining beakers before turning around.


    His sharp eyes pinned Core Protector Shanks down who did not flinch from his intimidating gaze, Core Protector Shanks red back at him.


    The next moment, Newton looked down before slightly patting hisb coat.


    "It''s been a really long time since someone told me to shut up". He casually said. "Like I said and I''m still saying, I will not¡­"


    "Listen to me!" Core Protector Shanks cut him off again.


    "It seems you don''t understand the significance of your student''s crazy n and experiments".


    "I think I understand enough".


    "NO, YOU DON''T!" Core Protector Shanks was literally going crazy already.


    "Norman aims to turn this into his personal yground to indulge his crazy fantasies. If he seeds, Darvis will turn into Hell on Earth".


    "You simply can''t exclude yourself from this war anymore".


    "No matter how you try to stay aloof from the happenings of this world, you are still a Darvis citizen. You grew up on this, you matured on this, do you think you would have grown up if you lived in a world of chaos?"


    "Norman has singlehandedly turned our into a giant meatgrinder".


    "I''m sure this very moment, thousands of citizens are still dying".


    "Hundreds of thousands more are getting injured every minute".


    "Just today alone, 15 Grade C Superhumans already died!"


    "15 Grade C Superhumans!"


    "Not 1, not 2, not even 5, 15! Imagine that!"


    Newton calmly looked at him. "What do you want me to do?"


    "Help!" He literally yelled on this legend''s face.


    "I want you to help". Core Protector Shank''s voice betrayed his desperation. "No matter how much I hate and I don''t want to admit it, Norman has singlehandedly pushed us to the wall".


    "No single Superhuman can stop him anymore, not even you".


    "I won''te to you if you were not rted to him".


    "You are Norman''s master, you are the only one who may still hold a ce in his heart, we need you to try to convince him to stop it all".


    "Even if it means lying, just do anything to pull at his heartstrings if he still has one, the destruction has to stop, the chaos has to stop".


    While Core Protector Shanks said all these with so much emotion, Newton remained calm looking at him, he finally replied. "It won''t work".


    "Why?"


    "You said it yourself thest time that you came to meet me, people change, I fear Norman is no longer someone that I can talk to amicably".


    "I won''t put myself down before him, I was his master". As he said this, this Elementalist finally showed emotion as his eyes red powerfully.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "¡­"


    Core Protector Shanks was lost for words to say, he was shocked.


    "Hahaha¡­" This Core Protectorughed loudly the next moment.


    "You don''t mean it Newton, so all this is because of your ego?"


    "Your f*cking ego?!"


    "You''re actuallypeting with your student at this moment?"


    "F*ck you!"


    "You get that? F*CK YOU!"


    Newton Barnes'' eyes finally darkened as he let his energy loose. "Get out of my domain!"


    "Hahaha¡­!" Core Protector Shanksughed maniacally.


    His eyes changed the next moment. "Jon Stones was right".


    "Huh?" Newton''s eyes narrowed.


    "I didn''t want to believe it but he predicted this. Apparently, spending years and decades locked in a room researching chemicals all day long without even having a wife or a girlfriend affects the psych adversely".


    "It sounded ridiculous at first but now I believe".


    "You''re no longer human".


    "You''re simply a scientist obsessed with your research, you nowck human empathy but it all doesn''t matter though, it doesn''t matter because we are prepared for you". Core Protector Shanks'' eyes glowed with power.


    BOOM!


    This Grade C Summoner let loose his energy as it erupted like a volcano, smashing a lot of valuable chemicals in the process to Newton''s shock.


    Newton''s valuable researchb was literally thrashed by this show of force.


    This was taboo!


    Clearly, Core Protector Shanks gave no f*cks though as he continued. "We, the humans are ready for you and your student".


    "Today, you just can''t stay hidden in yourb".


    "Today¡­, YOU MUST FIGHT!"


    "YOU MUST FIGHT FOR HUMANITY!"


    "Or else what?" At this moment, Newton''s eyes were already constricted to such an extent like those of a Python, this scientist''s rage knew no end.


    "Or else, you will face thebined wrath of me and Jon Stones. You have improved all these years but know this, we never stayed idle either".


    "Make your decision". Core Protector Shank''s eyes gleamed. "Join humanity and fight for peace or stay neutral and face our wrath!"


    Newton kept quiet as his eyes coldly red at this Summoner.


    Core Protector Shanks coldly red back at him.


    "You''ll really fight me?"


    "Try me!"


    Bzzz!


    This was not an attack, as soon as the space was roughly torn open, from far away in the pocket space, Jon Stones projected his aura into this space.


    As soon as the tyrannical aura arrived, the tension in the air increased.


    This old monster''s voice reverberated calmly.


    "Psycho, make the right decision".


    Newton''s face darkened as he heard this nickname.


    For seconds, silence reigned in the air as Newton red at the source of the powerful aura that matched his own. Newton not attacking to kill Shanks immediately was already a win to the Core Protector, he pressed.


    "I know you''re not a saint, but even if you don''t care, do this for history".


    "Do this for the that bred you to be what you are".


    "Do this for justice".


    Newton finally turned to look at Core Protector Shanks again.


    He opened his mouth to speak. "I¡­"

 Chapter 284 Newton Is Here!

    To the allies of the Clown Society, Clown had only few orders.


    "Kill!"


    "Destroy!"


    "Cause chaos!"


    "Turn Darvis into the embodiment of chaos!"


    Unlike others, the Frost Giants and King Nagakin took thesemands with much less enthusiasm. In the North where the Hunter Union reigned, due to Hunter Master Lydia''s influence, it was hard for them to cause too much chaos.


    The Hunter Union was one of the better managedwful organizations in Darvis. And with their Hunter Master, its strength was ridiculous.


    Having dealt with and suffered against humans already, King Nagakin was now as wary as a Nine-Lives Cat, he had no intentions of putting his race in danger.


    He executed the orders of the Clown Society with caution.


    Though he also caused chaos like every other psychopath of the Clown Society, he was able tomand his subordinates to limit their activities to the extent where they did not attract Hunter Master Lydia''s special attention.


    While doing this, he also maintained a respectable bnce to not make Clown and the ck Masters of the Clown Society feel like they were cking off.


    With this delicate bnce, King Nagakin was able to keep his race afloat.


    Unlike the Frost Giants though, the Trolls were not as subdued.


    From the day that they were freed from their bondage by the savior of brown flesh and grey metal, the Trolls were liberated to unleash their primal desires.


    The Grade C Troll led his race to wreak disaster.


    The normal Grade C Troll would have never done this. Despite the fact that in it''s evolution, it forfeited intelligence for more strength, such strength granted the Troll the instincts to determine which of its actions would lead to danger.


    This was why he never led a rebellion against the humans since.


    Unlike King Nagakin though, this Troll didn''t have much of a choice. Controlled by the chip that was already installed in his head, he could not resist the influence, he led the Troll race into a crazy run of chaos.


    Another fact that aided his rampage was due to the fact that the Clown Society''s headquarters was located here, he had everything to cause disaster.


    The Trolls could not be stopped as they rampaged across this continent.


    When the D-day finally came and the Grade C Alliance finally attacked the headquarters of the Clown Society, the Grade C Troll finally received new orders. He received new orders toe reinforce the defense of the headquarters.


    This Troll did not hesitate, he led the other Trolls back.


    But mid-way, they met resistance.


    After receiving information from Grog, the leaders of the Mercenary Alliance were able to track the Trolls. Led by the 2 Grade C Leaders of the Mercenary Alliance, they intercepted them in a nned ambush.


    Both Grade C Mercenaries were Elementalists.


    "Special Elementalist Ability: Starlight Fist!"


    "Special Elementalist Ability: Fiery Dove Breath!"


    BOOM!


    Even before the ambush started, the Troll''s senses tingled.


    Before the attacks even came out, the Grade C Troll elerated. Instantly, this Troll broke thews of physics again as he instantaneously elerated to a ridiculous speed, arriving before the Elementalists instantly.


    Their attacks hit empty air; they were stunned.


    Noticing their shock, the Grade C Troll smirked. "Na?ve humans¡­"


    It spoke!


    Before both Grade C Elementalists could fully register the impact of their shock, the Troll attacked as its dangerous ws tore through the air aggressively.


    Bam! Bam!


    Both Elementalists were average Elementalists, despite this, they were not as augmented and crazy for power as Clown which limited their abilities.


    Despite trying their best, they barely withstood the attack at point nk range as blood flowed. Shocked even further, they rapidly retreated.


    Questions filled their heads as they retreated.


    ''Do Trolls speak?''


    ''How can it be so powerful?!''


    ''I thought they said Clown singlehandedly subdued it!''


    What they didn''t know was that in just a few days, this Troll improved. In its previous captivity, it interacted with no one after its breakthrough, it fought no one which limited its opportunities to improve despite its potential.


    After being liberated by Clown though, this Troll was unleashed.


    After shing against more than 5 Grade C Superhumans already, the Troll improved rapidly, now it could more or less fully make use of its avable strength.


    The Troll''s emotions made it wish to eliminate the 2 Grade C Superhumans that ambushed it but it received an order, it could not go against the chip''s order. The Troll ignored the mercenaries and continued his charge ahead.


    Whoosh!


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    Instantly after Core Protector Shanks left, disarray fell into the ranks of the Grade C Superhuman Alliance. Shock, fear, disbelief, they all gripped the hearts of the fighting Superhumans as they could note to terms with the current reality.


    Originally, these were alien emotions to Grade C Superhumans but the sh with Clown and his Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities already brought them back to their basest instincts as humans.


    They were in disbelief.


    "Did¡­, he escape???!"


    This question literally broke them in pieces.


    After 15 Superhumans of their level dying before them already today and the subsequent domination by Clown and his monstrosities, the cohesiveness of the Grade S Superhumans was already hanging on a thread.<novelnext></novelnext>


    This finally broke it.


    Bzzz!


    The fabric of space was torn open again.


    One of the rogue Grade C Superhumans did not hesitate, instantly after tearing the space open, he teleported out of this battlefield.


    All the other Grade C Superhumans were stunned.


    The sudden shock and division in the ranks of his enemies did not escape Clown''s notice. Instantly after this tiny division and desertion, Clown banked on it as he ordered his Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities to increase the tempo.


    In his mech suit, he also switched the tempo up.


    "Die...!!!"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The sudden concentrated attacks from the enemies once again caught the Grade C Superhuman alliance off-guard, ignoring the bulk of his enemies, Clown concentrated his attacks on 5 Superhumans.


    They hastily erected their defense and self-preservation techniques.


    Despite their scrambling, Daemon''s death energy attack was the cherry on top as it broke their defense, hitting these warriors at their soul.


    BOOM!


    3 Grade C Superhumans died to this attack instantly!


    The Grade C casualties today increased to a horrifying figure of 18!


    Morale dropped fast and hard.


    Though most of the Grade C Superhumans still felt prideful and ashamed to escape from this battlefield, they already lost their zeal to attack.


    Engulfed in the fear and panic, they all retreated and focused on defense.


    Clown did not hold back as he led his monstrosities at them.


    While he attacked them, this psychopath ruthlessly mocked them.


    "Hahaha¡­, cowards!"


    "Products of an old distorted era of peace!"


    "Embrace chaos, it is the only way for you to break your limits".


    "Chaos is the only way to be a God like me".


    "Cowards, embrace chaos!"


    Despite the provocations, this time, they did not have the mettle to try retaliating, even Hunter Master Lydia. This Hunter Master felt like her whole world was overturning before her, she was in disbelief.


    ''How can one Elementalist achieve and create so much?''


    ''Is Norman the Greatest Superhuman that ever graced our?''


    ''This is too ridiculous!"


    The morale of the Grade C Superhumans diedpletely.


    Every second, Clown and his Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities and the other ck Masters beat them back. Every inch that they retreated was a representation of their shame today, a junior schooled and humbled them.


    Despite this, all the remaining Grade C Superhumans stayed adamant.


    "Even if we die today, we will never be psychopaths!"


    "We will never fall to your whims!"


    "WE ARE WARRIORS!"


    They may not know why Core Protector Shanks left, but they no longer cared. What mattered to them was that they would die as warriors.


    Everyone of them made it to the Grade C realm through their talent, grit, and courage, they would not let Clown belittle their achievements even in death.


    "Hahaha¡­!" Clown ruthlesslyughed at them.


    "I admire your courage but your fate is sealed".


    "Your deaths shall be the bedrock to the foundation of my world of chaos!"


    Clown gave a new order to his Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities.


    Instantly, the 3 Monstrosities started supercharging the 3 energy types avable to them for a super attack. Even as the Superhumans lost all hopes of survival, they showed no despair, they remained defiant.


    Clown enjoyed the looks on their faces, he finally dered their fate.


    "DIE¡­!!!"


    The Beasts motioned to unleash their energetic super attacks but they were interrupted, a loud sharp voice reverberated through the air.


    "Stop!"


    Bzzz!


    What first appeared was the iconic grey hair, then the even more iconic whiteb coat, breaths were held, the atmosphere turned stifled.


    No one knew who said it but it reverberated.


    "Newton is here!"

 Chapter 285 Master And Student

    Bzzz!


    Even before the word to stop reverberated from the figure, Norman inside his mech suit felt it first, he easily recognized the familiar aura.


    This was an aura that he would never forget, this was an aura that he once respected and adored, this was an aura that once meant everything to him.


    Instantly, shbacks appeared in Clown''s head.


    He remembered more than a century ago when he was still just a young Grade E Elementalist being excited at the prospects of bing Newton''s student. Then, he felt on top of the world, he felt like the luckiest being in Darvis.


    He remembered the first word that Newton said to him.


    ''Study hard''.


    ''Be curious, never let anything or anyone dampen your curiosity''.


    ''Curiosity is the birth of invention''.


    "Stop!"


    When it finally reverberated, all 3 of Clown''s Monstrosities already stopped. The beasts didn''t just stop due to Clown''s orders, his brief shback also came to an end as the familiar voice roused him from his fond memories.


    Clown''s eyes gleamed from inside of his machine. The iconic grey hair andb coat, the familiar frowning eyebrows, he vividly remembered everything.


    For a brief moment, Clown felt like calling him ''Master'' like he always did whenever he saw him but it took all his willpower to hold himself back.


    His eyes narrowed as this warrior finally fully appeared.


    Not just Clown and his Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities stopped after hearing the word, all the other Grade C Superhumans also stopped on seeing the figure.


    Newton Barnes was a legend of Darvis that was rarely exposed to the publicpared to Jon Stones. Legends were formed after heroic feats or after Grade C Superhumans fought, Stones and Newton already formed their legends.


    Compared to Jon Stones who was more high profile, the more hideous Newton Barnes struck a figure of mystery to most other Grade C Superhumans.


    Seeing this old man, the first vibe that most felt from him was chemicals.


    It was that feeling when you entered a pharmacist supermarket.


    The thick smell of medicine, the unsettling feeling of being in a chemical environment, they all followed with Newton Barnes'' arrival.


    As soon as he arrived, Newton ignored every other person and focused on his student. With narrowed eyes, he watched Norman like a hawk.


    Despite the mechanical half of his body, despite the crazy look on his face, and despite the cockpit of the mech that blocked it, his prative eyes were still able to see through and recognize that this was his student.


    He shook his head. "Norman, stop all this".


    "Stop and let us talk".


    "¡­"


    For a few seconds, Clown responded with silence.


    When he finally responded, it was like Newton feared, he responded in a maniacal manner as this psychopath eruptedughing like a total psycho.


    "Hahaha¡­!"


    "Hehehe¡­!"


    Afterughing to his fill, Clown finally spoke. "Newton Barnes".


    The fact that Newton decided to speak first on arrival already showed his strategy, he hoped to talk things out with his student. Norman''s reaction though shot his strategy on the foot as a chill instantly descended on the atmosphere.


    Newton frowned as his dormant energy slowly turned turbulent.


    He red at Norman''s eyes. "You shall call me Master!"


    "For what?"


    "I picked you up when you were nothing but an Orphan!"


    "I gave you life!"


    "I gave you a future!"


    "I trained you!"


    "I taught you everything that you know, you will acknowledge me!"


    "Hahaha¡­!" Normanughed ruthlessly. "That''s where you''re wrong". This psychopath''s eyes gleamed sharply as he red back at his master.


    "You may have picked me up but you did it only because you saw my talent".


    "If you didn''t pick me up, someone else would have did".


    "One way or another, I would have fulfilled my potential".


    "What I can''t forgive is you trying to hold me back from fulfilling my potential". His eyes red with emotion. "That, I cannot forgive!"


    "I withheld alien technology from you because it is dangerous!"


    "Hehe¡­" Clown chuckled. "You still think I''m that na?ve Norman?"


    "That kid who listened to your every whim and order?"


    "That kid who cowered when you yelled?"


    "Hehe¡­, I''m no longer that Norman".


    "I am now Clown".


    "I am now King Clown of Darvis".


    "I AM NOW GOD!"


    "¡­"


    Clown waited to let the words sink into his master''s head then he continued. "Acknowledge me, recognize my achievements that I am already a better Scientist and Elementalist than you, acknowledge that I am God!"


    "¡­"


    Norman red at his student. "Never".


    This word seemed to set off explosive sparks in the air.


    Without any other words, these 2 Elementalists seemed to have made their decisions as their actions reflected it the next moment.


    Crack! Boom!


    The mech suit''s parts cracked before fragmenting into smaller parts the next moment as from inside it came an intact Clown as he kept ring at his master.


    While they both red at each other, their energies kept on rising as they slowly levitated into the air. Their fiery eyes set off invisible explosions in the air.


    "You really think you stand a chance against me?" Newton asked.


    "I am not Jon Stones, I never underestimate my opponents".<novelnext></novelnext>


    "I came prepared for you".


    "You of all people should know what I am capable of".


    "Hehe¡­" Clown chuckled as his eyes gleamed crazily. "I know, that is why I made my ultimate goal forcing you to admit my superiority".


    This psychopath spread his arms like a God. "I don''t need my Bio-Mechanic beasts to defeat you, I am enough to defeat you".


    "Today, I''ll prove to you that there''s a new boss in town".


    "Today, there will be a shift in Legends".


    Newton red at his student. "You stand no chance against¡­"


    "Hahaha¡­!" Clown interrupted him with maniacalughter.


    "That''s where you''re wrong, you always underestimate me".


    "You always feel like you know more than me".


    "You always feel like I''m a baby, today, I''ll prove to you that I am twice as much of a man and legend that you can ever be".


    Clown grabbed his clothes before tearing everything off the next moment.


    Shock spread through this battlefield as his body wasid bare for the first time. Unlike his upper body where it was only half, his legs were now entirely reced with mechanical limbs that were mixed with Giant Runes.


    He already sacrificed his penis and pleasure for power.


    "¡­" Newton was shocked at the sight.


    "Hahaha¡­!" Clown cackled crazily at his reaction.


    "This is as far as I''m willing to go to get power".


    "After all these sacrifices, do you think I''m still not worthy?"


    "You''re brilliant, connect the dots yourself".


    "¡­" Newton''s eyes widened. "You don''t mean¡­?"


    "YES!" Clown roared.


    "YES!"


    "F*CKING YES! I''M THE ORIGINAL PRIME TEST SUBJECT FOR MY EXPERIMENTS!"


    "ALL THE OTHERS ARE DISPOSABLE TEST SUBJECTS".


    He cackled maniacally.


    "Imnting myself with alien machinery, imnting Giant Runes on my body, the extreme experiments, the pain, the perseverance, decades of research, they were all to turn my body into a body befitting a God".


    "I am now a real God!"


    "I will break the Grade B barrier first".


    "Watch and witness history!"


    "Do it!"


    Before Newton could understand what was going on, ck Master Einstein switched on a mechanism as the power of the Core was charged again.


    The next moment, a concentrated amount of core power was channeled as the blue energy rushed upwards before charging into this warrior''s body.


    BOOM!


    "AHHHH¡­!!!" Clown screamed in pain as he drank raw power.


    Newton wanted to intervene, his instincts were first to save his student but the energy was so potent that he felt that he would die if he touched it.


    The process finished after 10 agonizing seconds.


    The aftermath?


    BOOM!!!


    A mighty power exploded the next moment.


    "HAHAHAHA¡­!!!"


    Clown''s voice reverberated in such a deep manner like he really became a God. It was so deep, powerful, and archaic like it was from an Ancient Giant.


    "HEHEHE¡­!!!"


    All the watching spectators felt goosebumps.


    "HOHOHO¡­!!!"


    Newton briefly felt goosebumps but he firmed his nerves as he red at his student who seemed to still be struggling at the task of housing so much power.


    Newton shook his head. "I tried but I could not save you".


    "You have gone astray".


    "You can no longer be saved".


    "You can only die for the greater good".


    Newton no longer held back; he opened his storage ring from inside which he brought out 2 chemical potions that radiated with an aggressive archaic power.


    Without hesitation, Newton drank both potions.


    A second passed and his new energy exploded!


    "BOOM!!!"


    Feeling the incredible energy disy, Clown cackled maniacally.


    "HAHAHA¡­!!!"


    "HEHEHE¡­!!!"


    "HOHOHO¡­!"


    "LET US FIGHT THE BATTLE OF THE CENTURY!"


    Bzzz!


    Newton made the first move!

 Chapter 286 Battle Of The Century; Master Vs Student! [1]

    "HAHAHA¡­!!!"


    "HEHEHE¡­!!!"


    "HOHOHO¡­!"


    "LET US FIGHT THE BATTLE OF THE CENTURY!"


    At this moment, Clown''s aura was just a fraction away from probably that mythical rank of the Grade B realm. At this moment, Newton felt that his student was so close that he probably needed half a step to cross the gate.


    Despite Clown''s crazyughter and derations, Newton was calm as he looked at his student. He knew that at this moment Norman was powerful.


    After being pressured into making the decision by Jon Stones and Core Protector Shanks, the first thing that Newton did was to prepare.


    As an Elementalist and a Great Scientist, he was used to using his head, this was what distinguished him from Jon Stones.


    Knowing of the achievements of his student, he dared not underestimate Norman and was why he came with the full culmination of his research and progress for the full centuries of his life.


    Norman was not the only Scientist who was diligent in his experiments.


    For this eventual battle, Newton Barnes was going all out.


    Newton was the only Elementalist in Darvis to master 3 Elemental Affinities, the elements of Fire, Light, and Shadows.


    Though Light and Shadow were simply variants of the main Elements, after centuries of research, Newton already mastered them to a ridiculous level.


    After refining his chemical abilities for centuries, he already deviated from what most Superhumans called basic Elementalists. His battle style was now so chemical-rted that it was better to call him a Chemical Elementalist.


    To Newton, battles were simply like a mathematical equation.


    The battle process was the process of proving the equation.


    To him, everything was ok so long as he followed all the rules to prove this specific equation. If he followed them urately, he would emerge victorious.


    As soon as Newton essed his storage ring, the battle began.


    "Chemical Ability: Potential Inducement!"


    The 2 chemicals that Newton ingested were called the Strength Affinity and Power Growth chemical potions. As soon as he ingested them and activated this chemical ability of his, a vtile chemical reaction took ce inside his body.


    Originally, the human body of a Grade C Superhuman could only carry energy to a certain point. To break this limit, there needed to be sacrifices.


    Norman made these sacrifices by sacrificing his human body for power.


    Newton''s much more refined sacrifice was turning his internal body into a Giant chemical processor. Through the vtile chemical reaction that took ce in his body, for a short period of time, this Elementalist gained Strength affinity.


    Not just that, Newton''s power also experienced a meteoric growth.


    BOOM!


    Even as his power and Elementalist energy now sted out with force, Newton essed his storage ring again as 3 more chemicals appeared.


    All 3 chemicals were in small bottles and one of the bottles seemed to be on Fire, this was the Fire Chemical. The other seemed to contain a Firefly inside it as bright light shone from it, while thest one was filled with shadows.


    Instantly after the chemicals appeared, Legs''s interface lit up.


    -----


    Warning! You have been exposed to new lethal Chemical Technology: Chemical Boundaries!


    [Chemical Boundary: me Boundary!]


    >me Boundary: When exposed to this new technology, you are ced under the effects of fire that deals lethal damage to you every second while remainingpletely neutral to the creator and allies<


    [Chemical Boundary: Light Boundary!]


    >Light Boundary: When exposed to this new technology, you are ced under the effects of light. The creator and allies experience aprehensive power increase ranging from 3¡Á to 4¡Á more power<


    [Chemical Boundary: Shadow Boundary!]


    >Shadow Boundary: When exposed to this new technology, you are ced under the dpidating effects of shadows. You will be engulfed in darkness and instantly go blind; time of blindness depends on affinity to darkness<


    >Engulfed in the darkness, you will also receive a darkness suppression, suppressing your power and also dealing lethal darkness damage. Only creator and allies are immune to these dpidating effects<


    [REMARK: Friendly Warning! If you love your life, steer clear!]


    ----


    "Retreat!" Legs yelled first.


    Even without waiting for the reactions of the other Grade C Superhumans, he directly grabbed his student before rapidly retreating.


    The other Grade C Superhumans returned to their senses as they rapidly retreated just in time for Newton to smash all 3 chemicals on the ground.


    Crack!


    Bzzz!


    Instantly, a mighty power boundary engulfed the battlefield.


    The powerful field that appeared seemed ethereal and not anchored in reality but this was not correct, the unfortunate Grade C Superhumans who could not escape from its range on time were drawn into their effects.


    "Ahhh¡­!" These warriors roared in pain as the fire ate through their flesh.


    Blinded in darkness already, they suffered.


    Clearly, Newton Barnes did not see them as allies but rather as neutrals.


    They were not the only one that were caught in the center of this explosion of chemicals, Clown was also caught in it as his vision went haywire.


    Newton finally spoke. "This is the culmination of my research¡­"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Chemical Boundaries, there''s few powers like them".


    "Today, you shall be the first to taste their powers and efficacy".


    Newton no longer waited; he started his offensive.


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Fire and Light; Meteorite Smash!"


    Whoosh!


    Instantly, Newton''s whiteb coat was incinerated to reveal his brownbat armor that was underneath as this warriorunched into the skies.


    With a clenched fist, the lethal energies of fire and light converged on his fists to form a mini-meteorite. Clown could only feel the danger, he did not know where it wasing from, he was blind and he was hit.


    BOOM!


    "Ugh¡­!" Clown coughed blood.


    Newton continued. "Today, I shall teach you what I failed to do years ago".


    "Today, I shall discipline you".


    "I shall teach you what it means to show restraints as a scientist".


    "And I shall teach you to always respect your master and your seniors".


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Hail of Wind and Light!"


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: The Dragon of the West!"


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Crouching Tiger; Hidden Dragon!"


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Chemical Saturation!"


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Cataclysm!"


    Bzzz!


    5 Sage Elementalist abilities in a row!


    And each one with increasing magnitude and power!


    Still trapped inside the Chemical boundaries, Clown felt his danger senses tingle but he was still trapped by his master. The attacks hit him with pure venom.


    A hail of light and fire came from the skies first, concentrating their lethal downpour on him as this warrior felt like he was being roasted in a fiery oven.


    The Dragon of the West ability formed what seemed like a literal Dragon of Fire and Light. This Dragon swallowed Clown as he felt like he entered the belly of a furnace, despite his Fire resistance, he was scorched and damaged.


    The Light Affinity damage was especially lethal against his Giant Runes.


    The Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was even more lethal, this was one of the few extremely dangerous assassination abilities that Newton had.


    Like a Crouching Tiger hidden in the dark, he roused his Shadow Affinity to attack Clown from an unexpected angle. The damage of the Shadow attack was negligible, what was most important was that it weakened Clown''s defense.


    With his defense weakened, the Hidden Dragon struck!


    BOOM!


    Clown was drenched in a fiery disaster!


    The Chemical Saturation increased the efficacy of the Chemical Boundaries, the me Boundary was literally already burning Clown''s soul from within.


    As for thest Sage Elementalist Ability, Cataclysm, this was one of those extremely rare abilities that incorporated all of Newton''s 3 Affinities.


    Bybining Shadow, Light, and Fire to such a fearsome degree that it seemed to form a singrity in the air, Newton unleashed the ultimate attack that devoured the natural forces of the universe in its path as it moved.


    Clown felt danger unlike ever before.


    ''Break for me!'' This warrior screamed in his mind as his sense of danger and urgency increased by every millisecond.


    ''Break for me!'' His willpower was being strained to the limits.


    ''Break for me!''


    "BREAK FOR ME!"


    Crack!


    Clown finally broke the effects of the Shadow Boundary by force though partially. As soon as he partially regained his vision, he saw the powerful attack that wasing directly from his front intent on tearing him apart.


    He ignored his current pain as his eyes narrowed dangerously.


    "Clown Specialty: Psionic Energy Recycling!"


    "Clown Specialty: Core Energy Control!"


    "Clown Specialty: Energy Conversion and Combination!"


    "Clown Specialty: POWER BLAST!"


    BOOM¡­!!!


    For a brief moment, the world seemed to being to an end.

 Chapter 287 Battle Of The Century; Master Vs Student! [2]

    "Clown Specialty: Psionic Energy Recycling!"


    "Clown Specialty: Core Energy Control!"


    "Clown Specialty: Energy Conversion and Combination!"


    "Clown Specialty: POWER BLAST!"


    For a brief moment, the world seemed to being to an end.


    Like every single one of his beast test subjects that Clown subjected to his crazy experiments, this Elementalist was ruthless enough to also treat himself like a test subject, he enjoyed most things that they enjoyed.


    Like them, he also had ess to psionic and the residual pure core energy from the core augmentation that lingered in his body.


    By activating special abilities to recycle his psionic energy and control the pure core energy, Clown seemed to turn into a ship-grade power reactor.


    The power and light from him were blinding and powerful.


    This was why when he finallyshed out at his master, it was through another special ability that he created, it was a literal explosion of power, it was a literal Power st that broke all the conventions of physics and super energy.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    Newton felt like he was hit by an alien sledgehammer.


    The impact was powerful, lethal, and groundbreaking. This Elementalist could not withstand it, despite his Chemical boundaries, despite his preparations and calctions, when faced before absolute might, he stumbled.


    Newton crashed down from the skies.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    This Elementalist barely fell before Clown unleashed hell from above.


    "Clown Specialty: Fiery Spears!"


    "Clown Specialty: Atomic Explosion!"


    "Clown Specialty: Hell''s Destruction!"


    "Clown Specialty: Wind Dissection!"


    Clown was not holding back at all, he went at it with gusto with the sole intent of eradicating his master from existence and for a few seconds, he became a literal unstoppable force of nature.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The booming sounds reverberated like exploding dominoes.


    Newton''s fate seemed to have been sealed as from the skies descended the hail of attacks. They tore the ground open; the active volcano became even more active and vtile as the fire and wind dissected it apart piece by piece.


    Clown''s momentum at this moment was unstoppable.


    He literally carved deeper into the earth just to deal more damage to his master but Newton was not an Elementalist that was content with staying idle.


    This could be referred to as the prime age of the new generation but this did not mean that the old generation were content with relegating to the back. During their own time, they were once youths, they were once crazy and excited.


    Challenged by his student''s aggressiveness, Newton returned to his youth.


    "You want to rumble?!"


    "We shall rumble!"


    "You and I, today, one of us dies!"


    From the torn crust of this volcano, Newton charged back up with power even as he essed his storage ring to unleash even more Chemicals.


    As the chemicals were discharged, unleashing different effects, this old Elementalist let himself loose as for brief moments, he returned to his youth.


    He returned to that chaotic state of youth when he gained the nickname, The Magician. He became a literal force of chaos and magic on this battlefield.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Neither Master or Student was willing to let a single opening to each other.


    They attacked and forfeited defense; they became like 2 rabid Wolves who were only concerned with dealing as much damage as possible to each other.


    Neither of them expected each other to be this strong, they both originally thought that they could steamroll through the other and determine the best instantly thereby driving their ideals into the head of the other.


    They never expected so much power from their opponent, the incredible power wielded by each of them pushed themselves to heights they had never attained before in their history.


    These heights were unprecedented for Grade C Superhumans.


    Today, Newton and Norman redefined the power of Grade C Superhumans.


    The exploding sounds kept on growing higher and higher in pitch, even the sound alone was now dealing additional sound damage to the spectators.


    The shockwaves of their battle were crazy and destructive.


    Both warriors pushed each other to a level that originally seemed humanly impossible for Grade C Superhumans. They pushed themselves so much that they lost themselves in the passion, they were drowned in it.


    Legends say the greatest friendships are made in war, this was true because during the tension of war, the real nature of humans are brought out.


    At this tense moment, Newton and Norman wereid bare to each other.


    Their mind became vulnerable and was now as bare as bare could be.


    They asionally caught glimpses of each other''s mind now.


    The battle did not stop but now, a battle of their mind also started.


    "WHY?!" Clown exploded.


    "Why were you so adamant in protecting me?"


    "I never told you that I needed protection".


    "All I ever wanted was your trust and unflinching faith, I hated your control, why do you have to spoil it all because you were adamant in controlling me?"


    "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!" Newton could no longer hold his emotions.


    "I love you Norman, you''re my best student".


    "From the first day that I took you in, I knew that you were set up for sess and legendary feats, I wanted to supervise your sess to your peak".


    "I didn''t want you to go astray".


    "I never wanted you to fall to the schemes of the world so early".


    "That is why I protected you, that is why I prevented you from studying alien technology, it is because I love you".


    "AHHH¡­!!!" Clown was literally tearing his hair out as the battle tempo and intensity increased, both warriors seemed to now be venting their regrets and anger.


    They used each other as outlets to vent their frustrations and regrets.


    The spectating Superhumans were stunned at these reveals.


    Clown yelled at his Master. "I HATE YOU!"


    "I never wanted to leave, I wanted to stay with you forever".


    "I thought one day you would finally respect me for who I am and take me as an equal. My fantasies were me and you spending the rest of our lifetime locked inside a researchb studying the elements of nature till we die".


    "This never happened though because of your stupid love".


    "Ahhh¡­, I hate you!" Clown attacked even fiercer.


    Tears were already flowing down Newton''s eyes even as he fought fiercely.


    "They were the ones who enticed you right?"


    "Yes, Imunicated with the aliens". Clown admitted. "They are not as evil as you portray them to be, they offered me their technology for consents".


    "FOOL!" Newton was furious and sad.


    "They are evil, they are responsible for the cataclysm every few centuries".


    "They intend to conquer our".


    "They intend to turn our into a giant mineral-resource industry to harvest all our natural resources to thest of them without any hindrance".


    "They intend to turn us into their mining ves!"


    "They intend to domesticate us!"


    "They are selfish bastards!"


    "You should never deal with them!"


    "YOU CAN''T ADMONISH ME!"


    "YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THEM TILL THEY CONTACTED ME!"


    "I LIVED MY OWN LIFE; I BLAZED MY OWN PATH!"


    "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"


    Newton clutched his hair in frustration. "ARGHHH¡­!!!"


    At an impasse already, Newton was extremely frustrated. Though his heart really wanted to, his ego did not let him, he didn''t want to apologizepletely yet, he still wanted his student to apologize first.


    The fact that Norman could not admit his mistakes frustrated him.


    His emotions got the better of him as he unleashed his ultimate chemical.


    "Ultimate Chemical: Atomic Acid!"


    Bzzz!


    Instantly after this chemical smashed against the ground, the airspace shook!


    Even as Newton felt an incredible surge of energy and as he tried to go fight his student to submission, another energy reaction suddenly took ce.


    The concentrated dose of Uranium inside the Atomic Acid stimted this Volcano in the Hellfire Mountains that had drank super energy for decades.


    The Uranium stimted the active volcano for eruption.


    Volcanoes in Darvis were different from those on earth. Having absorbed super energy for years, they were much more vtile and dangerous.


    This Volcano was even more OP as soon as it drank Uranium energy.


    After decades of dormancy, this Volcano erupted!


    Hell descended on Darvis!


    BOOM¡­!!!

 Chapter 288 Volcanic Eruption!

    The Volcano seemed to turn into the location of a nuclear disaster.


    Magma erupted even as the temperature in the Hellfire Mountains rapidly increased. It was not just a magma eruption, the stimtion by the Uranium became so potent that steam in this volcano was superheated.


    Phreatic eruptions took ce!


    Phreatomagmatic eruptions also took ce as the stimtion by the Uranium induced effects like the direct interaction of magma and water.


    3 types of Volcanic eruptions took ce at the same time!


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Hellfire Mountains turned into Hell on Darvis!


    It was not just a volcanic eruption; it was a Mountain Burst!


    Hellfire Mountains as a whole imploded from within!


    Crack!


    The cracking sounds reverberated as cracks spread through the ground like an earthquake was imminent, the core of this Mountain was already affected.


    The implosion of the mountain induced a crazy effect on the airspace.


    Bzzz!


    The sound that followed was like those of a million exploding dominoes.


    -----


    Warning! You have been hit by an extremely high-pitched Sound!


    You have suffered a significant amount of damage!


    You have received -10,000 Damage!


    ----


    The shockwave flung Legs off his feet but he was fast to react.


    Being one of the first to rush with his student to the periphery of the Mountain due to Newton and his student''s incredible battle, he did not suffer the brunt of the attack but he still suffered.


    He reacted fast by ordering Predator and Ak to do the needful.


    "Roar¡­!!!"


    Bost beasts roared before unleashing their new defensive abilities.


    This defensive ability covered de and Christensen even as de pumped in more power to reinforce the defense. Despite their defensive measure, when the impact of the shockwave still came, Predator and Ak were affected.


    "Roar!" Both beasts coughed blood on impact.


    The gigantic grey shield wobbled but it stood its ground and weathered the impact, other Grade C Superhumans were not so lucky.


    Grade C Superhumans were brought to their knees by this implosion.


    2 other Grade C Superhumans died!


    The death count today was already 20 freaking Grade C dead Superhumans!


    Few of the others fully weathered the shockwave and fiery explosion that followed the implosion, most of the Grade C Superhumans were gravely injured as horrified, these Grade C Superhumans scrambled to safety.


    Inside the safe haven of their shield, Legs looked through Bran''s eyes.


    Unlike the others, as soon as the Mountain imploded, this bird of prey reacted fast and flew higher into the skies as fast as possible.


    By making use of its Blink ability and connection to the Void Dimension, it was able to escape the shockwave.


    Now, from the skies, Bran had an overview of the aftermath.


    Through their telepathic connection that was restored after he became a Grade C Summoner, he was able to have an overview of the aftermath.


    Hellfire Mountains was no more.


    What was left in its wake was a deste wastnd characterized by deep craters and flowing magma, it became a shadow of its former self.


    Even the nearby sea was not unscathed as the extreme heat evaporated arge quantity of water from the gigantic Blue Sea. At this moment, it felt like a God passed through and took a scoop out of this sea with his God Cup.


    Faraway, the effects of evaporating so much water were already taking ce. The extreme heat already melted ciers that were deep in the sea.


    At this moment, waves that towered above kilometers were already rolling across as a tsunami took ce, starting from afar.


    Hellfire Mountains was barely recognizable.


    There were few signs of life across kilometers in this wastnd.


    Apart from the Grade C Superhumans, no one else in this wastnd survived. The thousands of psychopaths that blindly followed Clown all died, there were no survivors, the headquarters of the Clown Society turned into a giant crater.


    Nothing useful was left of the headquarters.


    Even some nearby towns were not unscathed as the sweeping fire and shockwave left a wave of death in these towns and viges.


    Amid the wastnd, Bran''s eyes finallynded on the 2 culprits that caused so much destruction. Ash covered their faces, theirbat gear was mostly burnt to a crisp already, their now ck faces looked at each other.


    Newton and his student didn''t stand far from each other, they simply stood like they were stunned as they looked into each other''s eyes.


    Tears flowed down Newton''s eyes as he looked at his student.


    Thud!


    The next moment, he fell on his knees.


    He looked down. "Forgive me¡­"


    "Forgive me Norman".


    "I''m sorry, I-I was wrong¡­" He stammered but he forced the difficult words out of his mouth. "I did you wrong". He looked up back at Norman.


    "I am the one that should be med".


    "I am the one that should be punished".


    "I turned you into this". At this point, tears were already freely flowing down this warrior''s eyes as he could no longer control his feelings.


    "I am sorry, please forgive me¡­"


    Newton punched the ground in frustration and regret. "I was selfish, I didn''t want to lose you when I took you in, I wanted you to remain mine forever".


    "This was why I set so many rules for you".


    "This was why I restricted you so much".


    "I prevented you from interacting with females due to my narcissist fear that you will fall in love and abandon me¡­" This warrior cried. "I''m sorry".


    "I isted you to only put your focus on research without caring about your feelings that you may be obsessed with it¡­, I-I''m sorry".


    "It was all due to my selfishness".


    "I wanted to control you forever, I wanted you to be mine".


    "I wanted that when you became a legend, you''ll still be loyal to me, it is because of these selfish reasons that I took so many selfish decisions".


    "Ahhh¡­!" Newton grabbed his head. "I''m sorry".


    "I should have never tried to control you".


    "I forgot that you also had feelings".


    "I forgot that you were human¡­" This Elementalist paused as he looked down at his hands. "Is¡­, Shanks right? Am I no longer human?"


    At this moment, Newton seemed to be experiencing an existential crisis.


    Seeing the current state of his master as he uncontrobly broke down in tears, Clown felt something inside him pull but he remained adamant, he tried to fight it and decided to cackle maniacally.


    "Haha¡­ ahhh¡­!" From a cackle, Norman also cried as tears flowed down his eyes, he could no longer resist the pull in his heart.


    With tears in his eyes, he looked down at his master and memories shed through his eyes.


    Memories that he had been trying to bury inside his past.


    Memories that he was reluctant to revisit.


    "Ahhh¡­!" Norman clutched his head as he cried.


    He didn''t know when but he slowly walked towards his master before grabbing him. Once he raised him up, both Master and Student hugged.


    They hugged so tightly that it seemed like they would squeeze each other to a bloody juice, they simply enjoyed each other''s presence even as tears flowed.


    "I deserve death¡­"


    "No, we deserve a second chance". Norman looked at his master.


    "I also did a lot of terrible things and for that, I am sorry".


    "I am willing to change if you are also willing".


    "I believe that no one is above second chances".


    "We can restart, hide, build a hidden researchb and spend the rest of our lives simply studying and researching thews governing the world".


    Both Master and Student looked at each other as they analyzed their chances. After this battle, a lot of things changed within just a few minutes.


    While they analyzed their future, a strange eerie voice suddenly spoke.


    "Keep dreaming¡­"


    "Puppets can dream, that is the only thing that they''re good at¡­"


    Clown was shocked. "Who is that?"


    "Your Master".


    "Trigger Stealth Chip #B73!"


    Hum!


    Clown froze the next moment as a foreign presence descended in his mind, this warrior was shocked as he felt his consciousness being suppressed.


    Instantly, a foreign presence took over his body.


    "You are the real puppet; you were never a yer!"


    Clown''s consciousness froze in shock.


    "No¡­!" Newton''s eyes widened in realization of what just happened as a chill crawled down his spine.


    "Hahaha¡­!"


    "Hehehe¡­"


    "Hohoho¡­!"


    An eerieugh reverberated through the air.


    "I am the real Clown!"

    ----


    "¡­"


    Newton''s Ultimate Chemical proved its mettle as a great vessel of destruction. Despite hearing much about this Elementalist already and knowing him from his previous life, Legs still didn''t expect this.


    Even in Dominator, Uranium was still a destructive menace of energy when properly harnessed, Newton harnessing its power in a chemical was crazy.


    Despite the power that Newton showed after making use of the Atomic Acid and despite the incredible moment of Hellfire Mountains imploding on itself, this was still not the real reason why Legs was speechless.


    Whoo¡­!


    A loud hollow sound reverberated in the air.


    Towards the sea, the tsunami was already picking speed!


    An unprecedented tsunami with waves that towered as high as a kilometer moved forward with even more unprecedented speed. This tsunami seemed to have the intent of finishing the destructive work left by the volcanic eruption.


    The visual spectacle of so much water at such a ridiculous height rushing from afar with speed was crazy, but this was still not the reason for Legs''s silence, the reason was something else entirely.


    "I am the real Clown!"


    Legs felt goosebumps on hearing these words.


    The next moment, he appeared.


    Bzzz!


    It was a middle-aged man with a hideous face like a humanoid Troll.


    There were 2 prominent scars on his face, making him look more hideous. Despite the grey mask that covered his mouth and nose, the hideousness of his face could still be seen, including the 2 prominent scars.


    He looked like a warrior that had gone through a lot.


    Donning ominous grey attire, this man held a staff, an Elementalist staff. And from the slight shadows that hovered all around him, without a doubt he was an Elementalist and not just any Elementalist, a Grade C Shadow Elementalist!


    On seeing him, most Grade C Superhumans that were still surviving were confused as they had never heard of a Grade C Superhuman who fit this profile.


    Since Grade C Superhumans were the peak of power in Darvis and due to their few numbers, there was easy cirction of information at the top, they more or less knew every Superhuman that were at this exalted rank.


    While most of the Superhumans disyed this expression, Legs''s sharp and perceptive eyes already detected something else.


    ''They know something¡­''


    Core Protector Shanks and Newton Barnes himself could not hide the shock on their faces. From all the Grade C Superhumans that were present, these were the only 2 warriors who showed expressions that they knew this warrior.


    Despite his current deformities and his hideous face, they recognized him.


    "Alexander¡­?!" Core Protector Shanks muttered with shock on his face.


    "¡­" Newton kept quiet as a terrible frown came over his face.


    Unlike the cold and calmer Elementalist, Core Protector Shanks could not hold himself. "Alexander¡­, is that really you?"


    "How the hell are you still alive?!"


    "How did you be a super, much less an Elementalist?!"


    "How did you be this?!"


    Despite hearing the name Alexander, most of the Grade C Superhumans still remained confused as they could not remember a legend with this name.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Far away at a safe distance, Legs narrowed his eyes as he watched attentively, a lot of things went through his mind.


    ''Who is this man?''


    ''He looks so much like the Destroyer of Version 2?''


    ''But the Destroyer has no rtion with Version 1, who is this?!''


    Legs'' brain was already working on overdrive to try deducing the situation even as Clown finally turned his head to look at this warrior.


    At this moment, this warrior was in agony, his body was no longer his. At this moment, he felt like his consciousness was trapped in a corner of his brain.


    His consciousness fought with the invading authority of the A.I chip.


    The agony left him in unbearable pain. ''Ahh¡­''


    ''Is this what my test subjects suffer after I imnt my chips?''


    The feeling of agony left even him in shock.


    In extreme pain, he inclined his head to look at the warrior.


    "Who are you?"


    "My name is Alexander, the rightful King to rule Darvis since more than 500 years ago".


    "¡­"


    As soon as he heard this, Clown made the connections. Unlike others, he was a genius, in his quest to turn his body into the ultimate vessel, he read a lot of books and learned a lot of secrets about the history of Darvis.


    About 500 years ago, the history of the Royal Blood Dance was written.


    Then, King Robert was the ruler of Darvis. Despite his long and sessful reign, when the time came to give the throne to his sessor, King Robert broke conventions and refused to let his eldest son rule.


    ''The best of my children will get to rule in my stead''.


    ''Let thempete, and let the best rule''.


    This set-up was inplete favor of hisst son, Rnd.


    Widely seen as the most exceptional of all the Princes, Rnd was gifted and was extremely versatile. Hisbat abilities may not be the best, but his leadership qualities and intelligence were topnotch, he was Robert''s favorite.


    Coincidentally, Robert''spetition was nted towards intelligence and leadership qualities more. Inevitably, Prince Rnd won by andslide.


    A weekter, a coronation ceremony was held as Robert stepped down from the throne, allowing his youngest son to step into the throne as King.


    On that fateful day, a rebellion took ce.


    Led by Alexander, the King''s eldest son, battle took ce in the pce. A lot of people died, Alexander''s Champion Protector killed a lot of opposing warriors but in the end, he was killed by a rising genius, the Young Beast Shanks.


    On that day, after Alexander and his fellow rebels were exiled, Shanks became the Royal Protector of King Rnd.


    Since that day, no one heard of Alexander again.


    Most thought that he was already dead, they never expected this old man to live through centuries of vendetta ande back alive to haunt humanity.


    "¡­" Clown was speechless, he didn''t know what to say.


    Seeing the look on his eyes, Alexander cackled maniacally again and it was even more horrifying this time with his hideous face added to the mix.


    With difficulty, Clown asked. "Why are you doing this to me?"


    For some reason, perhaps to validate his decisions, perhaps due to his pressing want to converse with other Darvis citizens after centuries of solitude, Alexander was content with not acting immediately and rather answering.


    "Norman, this is nothing personal".


    "You being here is simply a crooked twist of fate".


    "Seriously, anyone talented enough should have been ok but to me, you are the perfect test subject".


    "¡­" Norman shuddered as he was referred to with this sensitive term.


    "You are just one part of the cogs in my n".


    "My ns started exactly 500 years ago, when I first met them¡­"

 Chapter 290 The Truth [2]

    "500 years ago¡­"


    "Feeling devastated and betrayed, I fled from the royal pce with my few surviving protectors after our failed rebellion".


    "Since Rnd already became King, things were hard for us".


    "Rnd''s assassins led by Shanks hunted us down like game".


    "Despite trying our best to survive while hiding in the woods, we were simply too outnumbered and outmatched".


    "Every defeat fueled my hatred for my father and my brother, every death birthed a burning desire in my heart to burn all my enemies to ashes, I vowed to overthrow them if not in this lifetime but in another lifetime".


    "The throne was supposed to be my birthright".


    "Rnd was never supposed to ascend it!" As he narrated this, Alexander''s aura briefly red in emotion but he did not stop as he continued.


    "Despite my zeal and motivation, strength still prevailed, we were only able tost 2 years before we werepletely wiped out".


    "Shanks'' subordinate drove a spike through my heart".


    "I saw the world fade before me¡­"


    "I witnessed my life slowly fade out of me¡­"


    "With my resentment burning fiercely even in death, I saw my enemiese closer to my head in a bid to cut off my head and leave to celebrate the victory with it. Despite my unwillingness, I feared this was my end but¡­"


    "This was when they came¡­"


    "I still feel the sensation today as the heat of the spaceship''s thrusters heated my flesh and blood, the sensation as gravity pressed me to the ground".


    "I can never forget the scene when he jumped down, a single Grade C Superhuman, far more in control of his strength than anyone else I''ve ever seen as he singlehandedly ughtered everyone of Shanks'' subordinates that came".


    "I can still feel his gaze looking down on me like my guardian angel¡­"


    "I didn''t see what happened next, I was frozen into a cube before being taken up into the spaceship. When I woke up, it was already a week".


    "I learned from him that everything was already taken care of. They fabricated the scene to make it look like after a great battle, I died, Rnd and his warriors were still celebrating my death".


    "I was exposed to a virtual screen for the first time that day".


    "From it, I saw the situation of my".


    "I saw almost everything that happened, I saw Rnd in his throne room drinking himself to stupor with his Generals with fine babes all over him".


    "Hehe¡­, that day, I choked from anger".


    "THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ME!" He roared.


    "In my most vulnerable moment, he stood by me".


    "He consoled me, he made me stand strong, then he gave me direction".


    "He finally told me his name, General Aztog of the Nakish Navy".


    "That day, I finally shed my identity as a frog stuck in a well".


    "Hahaha¡­!" Alexanderughed with emotion. "Everyone on this is a peasant, a Space Peasant, frogs stuck in a well who have no idea about how big the world is, how myriad and fantastic space is".


    "That day, I shed my veil of ignorance".


    Alexander looked at all the Grade C Superhumans that were already captured by his reveal, he looked at them disdainfully like peasants.  Darvis is part of an Ancient Star System called the Roronoa Star System".


    "After an artificial disaster caused by 2 warrings, a Giant Radioactive pulse was induced in our Giant Star, 2 dozens imploded".


    "4s survived but 3 became devoid of life".<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Only Darvis retained life because of a special exotic mineral resource that our produces, Arcanite".


    "The Naks are from the strongest Star System in our Cluster, they are 1 of the 2 ruling states in the Minerva Star System".


    "After discovering our''s uniqueness, General Aztog was sent on a mission to go im the resources of our for the Nak State".


    "Oning, they met resistance from the native races".


    "The powerful and foolish Ancient Dragons and Giants refused to let go or even trade their mineral resource, then they attracted General Aztog''s ire".


    "The 1st Cataclysm was the result".


    "They didn''t all die, the most powerful beings of the Ancient races survived but they didn''t learn their lesson to submit, rather they became more determined to oppose General Aztog''s n".


    "The 2nd Cataclysm was supposed to wipe off all life away from Darvis but others intervened, our ancestors".


    "Our ancestors were war survivors from a great war in the stars. After losing, they fled through warp travel through a great distance before finally discovering our. Out of fuel already, they settled on our".


    "With their intervention, all life was not lost, General Aztog failed again due to the sacrifice of our ancestors, allowing us humans to start from scratch".


    "The 3rd Cataclysm didn''t happen yet because General Aztog had a change of heart and a change of n, he decided to change his approach".


    "Humans appearing changed the equation".


    "Across our Andora Gxy, humans were renowned for their diplomacy, General Aztog decided to approach a human and hence where I came into the equation. After saving me, I was exposed to Magic for the first time".


    "General Aztog''s subordinate, a Great Mage saved me through magic".


    "After meeting General Aztog, all my motivation to be King evaporated. After knowing about the humongous outside world, knowing that Darvis is just one tiny part of our Gxy, how could I keep such vain motivation?"


    "My eyes were opened; my horizons became broader".


    "I started setting my eyes on much bigger things".


    "I longed for knowledge, I wanted to learn everything about our Roronoa Star System and the Minerva Star System where the Naks came from".


    "I wanted to know much more about the world, I no longer wanted to stay a frog stuck in a well, I wanted to be a Phoenix soaring into the skies".


    "My wish was fulfilled, I learned".


    "At what cost?" After keeping quiet since, Core Protector Shanks finally spoke. "Did you betray your humanity and sell off our?"


    Alexander looked at this warrior and simply chuckled.


    "In 2 months, I broke my previous limits that were there previously due tocking knowledge in our, I was able to learn Super Knowledge".


    "I became an Elementalist!" Excitement leaked from this warrior''s voice.


    "Did you know how happy and contented I became? For a long time, I was bored of the politics and shenanigans of the royal family, I loved the simplemindedness of battle more, it was a shame I never awakened super energy".


    "But with this, I got my greatest obsession".


    "While learning more about our Gxy, I trained under General Aztog. In 100 years, I broke all the previous records held by warriors in Darvis and I became the fastest Superhuman to became a Grade C Elementalist at such speed".


    "This was when General Aztog''s real n kickstarted".


    "And unlike previous times, this time, I was at the helm of the ns".


    Core Protector Shanks frowned. "What did you do?"


    "Hehe". Alexander looked at him and smirked. "What you would have never had the guts to do, that is why they choose me".


    "I took the responsibility of bing the Governor of this".

 Chapter 291 The Truth [3]

    Alexander still felt like it was yesterday that he had the conversation.


    ''Alex, you have finally matured but any n is not going to be easy".


    ''The humans are now stronger than we ever predicted".


    ''There are now 9 Grade C Superhumans in Darvis".


    ''We can''t afford to use force, the losses will be too much, what way do you suggest we use to worm our way into Darvis?"


    ''The Carrot-Stick strategy". Alexander answered confidently like he had been thinking of this since long ago even before the General asked.


    "Using the Carrot-Stick strategy is the best, I know humans, I lived with them for over 3 decades, their ignorance and curiosity is their greatest weakness".


    ''Let us give them knowledge''.


    ''Give them a tiny bit of knowledge, and their curiosity will push them all the way to get the rest, it is this curiosity that we will take advantage of''.


    General Aztog nodded. ''I''m not sure but I leave everything to you''.


    With that, Alexander took helm over the ns. It took him centuries to fune everything because he didn''t want to make any mistake.


    His first target was Newton and some other avid scientists. Like he expected, a younger Newton epted the sudden knowledge and alien technology with gusto as he locked himself in seclusion and delved into the world of research.


    The more Newton deduced through alien machines, the more horrified he felt at how wholly inadequate and ignorant they had been before now.


    Like Alexander wanted, Newton was on the path of bing too engrossed in alien machine and opening himself to infiltration before the old man intervened.


    To Alexander''s shocks, one of his targets that he exposed knowledge to discovered the traces that these were attempts at maniption.


    The old Summoner warned Newton and the others before going into seclusion, not even the satellite surveince of General Aztog''spany could prate deep enough to see the current state of this old man.


    Once Newton became cautious of manipting aliens, Alexander''s n became much moreplicated and difficult until Norman came along.


    A young, energetic, na?ve scientist with fresh curiosity for new things.


    As soon as Newton took Norman in, Alexander targeted him specifically. With his shadow abilities, not even Newton was able to notice him infiltrating, carefully, he steered Norman''s development in a manner that he wanted.


    And due to the fact that Newton was always so busy with his experiments, he did not discover on time until it was already toote.


    On that fateful day, Clown was born!


    Alexander looked at all the Grade C Superhumans that were witnessing his reveal today. "On that day, Clown was born!"


    "Norman guessed that someone was feeding him information but he never suspected that it was some manipting alien".


    "I fed him with the notion of the God of Chaos so much that he believed that it was the God of Chaos who fed him knowledge and told him to proliferate the faith of chaos".


    "My Shadow abilities are on the weirder side, I was able to manipte Norman''s emotions, turning him into the ideal vessel that I wanted".


    Norman''s eyes widened even as tears welled up in his eyes. "Those moments of epiphany in my research, it was you?"


    Alexander smirked. "Not all of them, but most of them, yes".


    "¡­"


    Norman received a mental blow that instantly reduced his resistance, the invading A.I experienced smoother ess to the mental spaces in his brain.


    "After molding you into my perfect vessel mentally, I installed the Stealth Chip on your head before letting you loose to develop by yourself".


    "You didn''t disappoint me, your obsession to make your narcissist master acknowledge you did most of the work, motivating you to give your best".


    "Under my subtle directions, you created the Clown Society".


    "You started your ultimate n to turn your test subjects into Grade B powerhouses while making yourself the real ultimate test subject also due to me, you were simply the best test subject that I could ever wish for".


    "¡­" Hearing that term used on him again gave Clown another mental blow.


    He was already having a mental breakdown.


    "General Aztog''s orders were simple, turn Darvis into a controble to install myself as the Governor. How I governed the didn''t concern him, it is simply ess to Arcanite that he needed".


    "In my temte, if Norman''s n worked and Darvis really fell to his knees, I would simplye and take over the results of his hardwork".


    "Everything would be easier then".


    "I will be the Governor representing the Naks, while General Aztog gets to harvest Arcanite, this was a win-win situation but you guys were too stubborn, even someone as crazy as Norman could not seed".


    "Left with no choice, I had to intervene". He smiled eerily.


    By now, all the Grade C Superhumans already more or less got the gist of the situation. Thinking of how they were living ignorant for so many years, some of them felt vulnerable like never before as chills went down their spines.


    Newton was the few that stood his ground though, he red at this Shadow Elementalist that hovered in the skies. "As you can see, Norman didn''t seed".


    "What makes you think that you can?"


    Alexander looked at him in an interesting manner without replying.


    "Release my student''s consciousness or suffer the wrath of all the Superhumans in Darvis".


    "Hehe¡­"


    "Before youugh, remember this, Jon Stones ising".<novelnext></novelnext>


    "If you''ve really followed the as closely as you say, then you''ll know how capable he is, you really think you can face us both in battle?"


    "No, but he can". Alexander pointed at Norman.


    BZZZ!


    Alexander barely finished speaking before the airspace was torn open directly behind him. The airspace was torn apart so smoothly that the culprit arrived in an instant, Jon Stones'' fist moved like a meteorite.


    "Stones'' Specialty: Obliteration Fist!"


    Jon Stones was here!


    BOOM¡­!!!


    The air rippled even as the sound reverberated like rumbling thunder.


    The attack was at point-nk range, there was no chances for Alexander dodging this but this Shadow Elementalistpletely defied physics and expectations. This warrior''s body instantly faded into ethereal shadows.


    The punch and the fist passed right through his body like he was a specter.


    "Hahaha¡­!"


    "Hehehe¡­!"


    "Hohoho¡­!


    Alexander''s crazyughter sent even more spines freezing.


    Jon Stones was not having it though, he turned at a superhuman speed, flexing his incredible reaction speed that was only possible for a Pugilist at his level as he punched again with a ridiculous amount of force following it.


    "Stones'' Specialty: Fist of Obliteration!"


    BOOM¡­!!!"


    This time, Alexander finally teleported.


    Bzzz!


    Norman felt his heart sinking into the depths of despair, Alexander teleported directly behind him. As soon as he arrived, this warrior ced both his hands above Norman''s head as instantly, another suppressing force came.


    Norman could no longer resist, his consciousness was instantly suppressed, enabling the chip A.I to take full control over his body.


    Alexander gave hisst orders. "Commence final transformation!"


    Bzzz!


    Crack!


    Norman''s bones instantly cracked and deformed. Jon Stones and Newton were already charging towards this direction, but they were not fast enough, with crazy speed and smoothness, Alexander materialized energy cables.


    These energy cables carried pure core energy from the core.


    Alexander grinned. "Take energy, morph and transform into your final form".


    "Show these Space Peasants what technology truly means".


    HUM!!!


    Amid the powerful humming sound, the pure core energy exploded in Norman''s body as both Jon Stones and Newton were pushed away by the shockwaves.


    Such energy was supposed to tear Norman apart but this was not the case, this warrior was strangely stillpletely fine.


    At this moment, Norman was experiencing a transformation.


    Boom! Boom!


    Power sporadically emitted and exploded from his bulging body.


    Norman''s body expanded!


    This Elementalist''s body expanded to a towering height of 10 meters like an Ancient Giant!


    With eyes bulging and glowing white with power, even as power flowed through his body, with onest explosion, the final transformation took ce.


    BOOM!


    A blinding light blocked others from seeing it first.


    Though they did not see it, the mighty aura already leaked.


    Powerful and aggressive aura that already attained the Grade B realm exploded with force as it battered against the senses of all the spectators.


    "What¡­?!!!" Everyone was shocked.


    "Hahaha¡­!"


    "Hehehe¡­!"


    "Hohoho¡­!"


    "Space Peasants, witness the power of Nak Technology!"

 Chapter 292 Battle For Survival! [1]

    BOOM!


    Clown already turned into a literal force of nature!


    With his now towering height of 10 meters, apanied by his energy that exploded out in massive proportions, this Giant emitted such an aggressive and terrifying aura that most of the Grade C Superhumans were terrified.


    Grade B aura and might was disyed in its earnest!


    "Hahaha¡­!"


    "Hehehe¡­!"


    "Hohoho¡­!"


    Alexander''s crazyughter added a colder element to this moment.


    Norman''s body transformed in even more myriad ways as his chaotic aura tried to calm down. His muscles became denser, the Giant Runes became much more pronounced, as for the mechanical part of his body?


    The right-hand side of Norman''s body became a literal mech!


    All the weapon modules that Norman originally imnted on his body became much more pronounced and scaled. Powered by pure core energy, their power reactors became much more powerful and energy hungry.


    All the weapons became deadlier, the mechanical part of his body was a force of nature on its own. The organic side of his body was not much different.


    At this moment, the left side of Norman''s body experienced changes.


    Norman''s left hand transformed as the hair covering his hands turned into gigantic and lethal Kraken tentacles. His fingers rotated as they developed into organic chainsaws, as for his main body, it became a defensive bulwark.


    With the scaled version of the Giant Runes, Norman was now more or less impervious to damage, few things could damage him.


    The worst part of thisbination was probably the fact that Giant Norman was innately a Sage Elementalist. With ess to the Elemental Affinities of Fire and Wind at the Grade B Realm, his real capabilities were a mystery.


    The sight of this Giant alone intimidated many.


    Alexander cackled maniacally. "Hahaha¡­!"


    "Space Peasants¡­, witness the power of Technology!"


    "Witness the ultimate Bio-Mechanic Monstrosity!"


    "Shed your veil of ignorance and be exposed to the realities of the universe! Acknowledge your weakness and bow down to my rule!"


    "The first Grade C Superhuman to bow to my rule will receive a good position in my reigning era as the Governor of Darvis".


    "Surrender and survive".


    "Resist¡­, and die!"


    Even as Norman''s new aura tried to settle down, the gigantic eyeballs of this Giant flickered between green and red. For some reason, it seemed like Norman''s consciousness was still inside there somewhere and he was still fighting.


    Seeing this scene tore Newton''s heart, he could only imagine the kind of torture that his student was going through, this Elementalist felt like a spike was puncturing through his heart at a slow consistent pace.


    "SURRENDER AND SURVIVE!" Alexander roared.


    Thud! Thud!


    2 pair of knees collided against the floor.


    All the other Grade C Superhumans looked at them in shock.


    One of the 2, the Elementalist looked at Core Protector Shanks. "I''m sorry, sometimes, we just have to ept reality".


    "We can''t fight this thing".


    "For the future of our, I implore you to also surrender".


    "This is the only way to save our from humanity extinction".


    Bzzz!


    The 2 Grade C Superhumans were teleported away.


    "Hahaha¡­!" Alexander cackled maniacally.


    "You¡­!" All the other Superhumans were petrified and stunned at the sudden decision that 2 of their counterparts made; this moment shocked them.


    ''They betrayed us!''


    Instantly after they dered this in their mind, their brains instinctively recoiled backwards. ''Is it really a betrayal?''


    ''Do we really stand a chance against this Monstrosity?''


    ''Perhaps they are right¡­''


    Core Protector Shanks was horrified as he noticed this trend. He may not know what was going through their minds, but reading their face alone was enough for him, he could already guess at what they were thinking.


    "Do not give up on me now!" Core Protector Shanks moved to their front so that he could face them directly.


    "We still have a war to fight".


    "We can still win".


    "Let''s¡­"


    "Watch out!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    In Core Protector Shanks'' bid to restore morale, his movement finally startled Giant Norman. The imperfect A.I chip already left him chaotic before, with this sudden movement, the Giant was finally triggered.


    It took a step and punched.


    Newton moved first to intercept.


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: 3-Dimensional Defense Gate!"


    Even as Newton used all 3 of his Affinities to form an overwhelming defense against the attack, it didn''tst, it popped like a balloon.


    BOOM!


    Core Protector Shanks barely got the opportunity to adjust his body before he was hit. This powerful Grade C Superhuman coughed blood as he flew away like a rocket, one punch dealt life-threatening damage to this Summoner!


    Core Protector Shanks was horrified. ''Is this Grade B power?!''


    So much damage was dealt in a single blow despite it being dampened by Newton''s ultimate defense ability, all the Grade C Superhumans were horrified.


    Also, from what just happened, it could be inferred that Giant Norman was notpletely under Alexander''s control. Though the chip recognized allies and enemies, it was so chaotic that its actions were notpletely predictable.


    This meant that Giant Norman could suddenly decide to go berserk, leave this battlefield and decide to unleash disaster on therger popce.


    Just thinking of the repercussions caused Jon Stones'' veins to twitch.


    "ROAR¡­!!!" Giant Norman roared chaotically after the punch.


    This Giant didn''t seem to be in a rush to finish off its opponent, its flickering eyes indicated that Norman was still somehow alive fighting against the A.I.


    "We can''t let it move past here!" Jon Stones suddenly dered.


    "We can''t let this Monstrosity be unleashed on the!"


    "We need to stop it right here and now!"


    Jon Stones turned to look at the others. "This is no longer a terrorist battle or a battle between Master and Student, this is now a battle of survival".


    "This is a battle for the survival of our race".


    "This is a battle for the survival of our".


    "You heard him, you heard his ns for our, this is a battle to prevent our children from bing mining ves".


    "If it''s today that I''ll die, I''ll dly ept my fate knowing that I died on the field fighting honorably to save my and my race".


    Jon Stones grinned. "What better way to die than this?"


    "We''re f*cking warriors!"


    "No matter if our enemies are aliens, or Grade B Monstrosities, or even relics of the past, we have to prove that we cannot be toppled easily".


    "Join me let''s fight the battle of our lives!"


    "For our future!" Jon Stones roared as he felt his blood boil hotter.


    "FOR OUR FUTURE!" The pumped Grade C Superhumans also roared.


    Jon Stones was not exactly the motivational speaker type, but today was different, this battle and what it stood for resonated so much with him that everything that he said simply flowed from his heart.


    His passion to defend his burned hotter than ever before.


    Adrenaline was already flooding his very being.


    Jon Stones turned to face his old enemy. "Newton, what do you say about onest rumble together?"


    "This time, instead of enemies, let''s rumble as allies".


    "Let''s show Alexander what true men stands for".


    "Are you up to the task?"


    Newton was not exactly the overly emotional type but considering that his favorite student was a direct victim here, this Elementalist was pulled.


    "One way or another, I''ll have to liberate Norman even if it means killing him, death is far better than the current torture".


    He looked up at his old enemy. "Jon¡­, I''m in".


    Jon Stones grinned.


    "Hahaha¡­!"


    Alexander cackled maniacally then he finally gave the order.


    "Kill!"


    The Stealth A.I Chip registered themand instantly.


    "Affirmative!"

 Chapter 293 Battle For Survival! [2]

    "Kill!"


    "Affirmative!"


    Instantly after the reply, Giant Norman''s aura changed.


    It no longer seemed random and chaotic, after receiving a direct order, the A.I fully took over control and became driven. A thick aura of death seemed to descend on this battlefield as Giant Norman finally made his move.


    HUM¡­!!!


    Therge humming sound apanied it as the Machine Monstrosity geared to life. All the weapon modules that were scaled up after Norman''s expansion were geared to life as power flowed through them.


    The eruption of Grade B energy was on a whole other level!


    Drawing power from the energetic power reactors, the weapons became flooded with power as muzzles emerged out of the right-hand side of the Giant.


    They aimed and got ready to unleash their disaster.


    Giant Norman didn''t need to pull any trigger, all he needed to do was think.


    BOOM!


    The thickest Laser Rifle imntation unleashed its energy load.


    The thick red beam moved through the air like the hand of God slicing space apart. Its speed was the speed of light, its lethality was unmatched, it arrived in an instant, the unfortunate Grade C Superhuman could not dodge.


    On collision against human flesh though of the Grade C Realm, a loud sound like exploding dominoes did not reverberate, rather it was that sound ofplete suppression and obliteration that reverberated.


    The thick Laser beam scorched and went right through this Grade C Superhuman, if he had an interface, his interface would have lit up with a damage report with lots of zeroes in it.


    The Grade C Superhuman did not survive, he died on the spot!


    That was not the end, the power of the thickser beam was not done yet. The Summoner who was directly behind the first dead Grade C Superhuman was stunned, he tried to order his beasts to defend him but they were not fast enough.


    After such a great battle against Clown''s Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities, and the eventual volcanic eruption, this Summoner was already weak and injured.


    He also did not survive it, theser beam punched right through him.


    One attack killed 2 Grade C Superhumans!


    Just¡­ one¡­ attack!


    Those that witnessed it were going crazy. "WHAT THE F*CK?!!!"


    With this, the Grade C casualties today increased to a horrifying number of 22, this was already more than half the total number of Grade C Superhumans that were in Darvis just a month ago!


    Giant Norman was not done with just one attack.


    That first attack was the appetizer, dozens of weapon muzzles meant that dozens of weapons could shoot at the same time. Powered by the energetic power reactor, kic projectiles, bullets, energy beams, they were all unleashed.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Every Grade C Superhuman scrambled to defend themselves.


    Even against theserge-scale attacks that were supposed to be diluted and weak, the powers of the attacks were so ridiculous at the Grade B Realm that they were life-threatening to the Grade C Superhumans.


    They understood Jon Stones better, this was really a battle for their survival and it pumped them, the threat of death made their blood pump faster.


    While everyone of them defended, only 2 of them did something else.


    "Ultimate Chemical: Atomic Acid!"


    Bzzz!


    Newton did not hold back.


    With eyes that were zing red in craziness and determination, Newton uncorked another of his Ultimate Chemical as he ingested its contents.


    Originally, anything made with Uranium when ingested gave a 100% guaranteed death chance even for a Pugilist with crazy vitality like Jon Stones. But not Newton though, this guy, this guy was a crazy scientist.


    At his peak, not even Norman, his student was as crazy as him.


    After a lot of crazy experiments over the centuries, his body already deviated significantly from the normal human makeup, the makeup of his internal body was a literal gigantic and efficient chemical processor.


    The contents of the Atomic Acid were processed into raw power.


    BOOM!


    Power flowed through Newton''s body!


    With eyes zing red in fury and determination, Newton grabbed his Elementalist staff and waved it as the powers of nature responded to his summons.


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Chemical Saturation!"


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: The Dragon of the West!"


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Crouching Tiger; Hidden Dragon!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Newton Specialty: Light Legitive Law!"


    "Newton Specialty: Shadow Judiciary!"


    "Newton Specialty: Fire Executive!"


    "Newton Specialty: Divine Judgement!"


    For the first time, Newton used every single one of the trump cards that were avable to him, including some of his deepest trump cards that he didn''t even use against his student, these were Newton''s magnum opus!


    The first 3 Sage Elementalist Abilities set the tempo for what followed.


    The Light Legitive Law Specialty Ability gathered a huge amount of light energy into the air, forming a concentrated white mist of energy that Newton called aw. The Shadow Judiciary followed soon after.


    Unlike the first, the Shadow Judiciary Specialty Ability instead formed a concentrated dark mist of energy filled with erratically moving shadows.


    As for thest, the Fire Executive Ability formed thestw of fire, forming a concentrated mist filled with aggressive fire energy.


    Instantly after he activated his Divine Judgement ability, the narrative changed. All 3 concentrated balls of mists were attracted towards each other before forming a whole, a ball with 3 distinct colors and energies.


    This created a vtile reaction of energy, it threatened to explode any moment, Newton maintained it long enough to throw it at Giant Norman.


    The ball of energy descended like a real Divine Judgement from heaven.


    Giant Norman braced himself for impact, then it hit.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    The ground tore open, the ruin of Hellfire Mountains suffered even more as more damage tore into the crust.


    The impact of the attack was blinding as the vtile energies exploded, triggering an explosion of such proportions like never seen before.


    Newton''s Ultimate Chemical empowered it to a horrifying degree.


    Giant Norman just suffered this attack when Jon Stones also moved.


    Like his counterpart, this warrior was not holding back.


    "Forbidden Pugilist Ability: ¡­"


    Jon Stones did not stop at the first Ultimate Form; he directly skipped the first 2 forms and went for his ultimate prime state where he had ess to such ridiculous power that he was really in his peak.


    "FORBIDDEN PUGILIST ABILITY: 3RD ULTIMATE FORM!"


    BZZZ!!!


    Instantly, across a region of a kilometer and beyond, every thing bearing life withered and died. Christensen had to be ced under the special protection of his master which was the only reason why his vitality was not also sucked.


    After this draining action, this region became more barren than ever before and in exchange, Jon Stones received a ridiculous amount of strength.


    This Pugilist gained powers that defied reality!


    This powerful Pugilist grew gigantic by a few centimeters, Jon Stones became so muscr that he seemed like a body builder that went into closed-door cultivation just to achieve the ultimate muscr body.


    He grew 2 new pairs of arms, which increased his tally to 6 arms, 3 on each side. These muscr arms seemed to carry the powers of the universe.


    Of course, the most eye-catching change was in his head.


    Jon Stones head grew so bald that it could be mistaken for a mirror.


    Jon Stones felt power flow through his body, through his bulging veins, purple electricity and power flowed. His eyes glowed a pure white color as the vitality of all these living things empowered him to a ridiculous height.


    "Ahhhh¡­!!!" Jon Stones roared to relish his current power.


    Every spectator who saw him was shocked and amazed.


    He no longer waited; he finally made his move.


    "Stones'' Specialty: Wednesday''s Dance of Death!"


    "Stones'' Specialty: Power from Heaven!"


    "Stones'' Specialty: Vitality from Darvis!"


    "Stones'' Specialty: Ultimate Retribution; Fists of Justice!"


    Jon Stones exploded with power!


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

    "Stones'' Specialty: Wednesday''s Dance of Death!"


    "Stones'' Specialty: Power from Heaven!"


    "Stones'' Specialty: Vitality from Darvis!"


    "Stones'' Specialty: Ultimate Retribution; Fists of Justice!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Jon Stones'' glowing muscr body seemed to harnessed the raw power of gravity itself as he flew towards Giant Norman, everything was attracted towards him and destroyed as he flew towards the Giant.


    His fists seemed to be the anchors to channel this powerful energy.


    Feeling the incredible energy of this superhuman, the A.I rapidly calcted as it briefly shelved Newton before turning to focus on this warrior.


    Norman spoke but it was not his original voice speaking anymore.


    The voice reverberated mechanically like that of a robot.


    "Mechanic Ability: Shield Generator!"


    "Mechanic Ability: Shield Overload!"


    "Organic Ability: Tentacle Hair Defense!"


    "Organic Ability: Magic Rune Activation!"


    Bzzz!


    Briefly, before Jon Stones'' attack hit, the airspace before Norman shook.


    When the attack finally hit, the sound that followed was like exploding dominoes as the gigantic power in disy exploded into the surroundings.


    When everything died down, Jon Stones looked at the aftermath.


    Tons of the spooky Tentacle hair were sprawled on the ground.


    Norman''s shield generator popped after being overloaded with energy.


    All these were promising signs but as for the body of the victim, the mechanical side glowed with a blue covering while the organic side glowed an orange color. Norman''s giant body was stillpletely fine.


    Not a single blood was spilled from his body despite thebined attack.


    Feeling the flickering mechanical eyes of this Giant looking down on him from above, Jon Stones felt his heart skip a bit as he braced himself for it.


    "Organic Ability: Full Chainsaw Transformation!"


    "Mechanic Ability: Shotgun Transformation!"


    "Mechanic Ability: Dimensional Magazine!"


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Enclosed Cage of Wind and Fire!"


    Bzzz!


    Before Newton or Jon Stones could react, fire sprouted from their surroundings, such thick fire that formed a gigantic cage around them.


    Instantly after this cage was erected, Giant Norman went on the move. His left hand transformed into aplete chainsaw with a menacing rotating edge, as for his right mechanic hand, it transformed into a futuristic Shotgun.


    Norman needed no physical bullets; he activated another mechanical ability that was programmed in the A.I that granted him ess to a Dimensional Magazine. From there, he got ess to all the ammunition that he needed.


    With Newton and Jon Stones briefly trapped, they could not escape immediately, enabling the Giant to aim at them and shoot.


    The trigger was pulled!


    Bam!


    Bam!


    Bam!


    Each shot from the Shotgun was individual, the sound was explosive, they all rolled together to create a crazy rhythm of death and blood!


    Some calibers were explosive, others harnessed the power of gravity, others sma energy, and others came with even more myriad effects.


    Newton and Jon Stones braced themselves for impact but the impact still rocked them silly. In this moment of truth, Jon Stones forgot sentiments knowing that hispanion was of the ss referred to as paper sses.


    He took centerstage to weather all the attacks.


    At the end of it all, Jon Stones was terribly injured.


    "Ugh¡­!" This Pugilist coughed blood but he was not done.


    With a grin on his face, he red at Giant Norman. "Until I die, you will not have your way today and there''s no way in hell I''m dying quick".


    Even as his normal cell regeneration took ce, a white embracing light soon engulfed his body as Eleanor the White me went to work.


    Her light of vitality energized Jon Stones, increasing his recovery speed and giving him more adrenaline.


    "Come on!"


    The Pugilist and the Elementalist went at it again with gusto!


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Giant Norman never let them off once, even as its eyes kept on flickering mechanically, it calcted and attacked aggressively.


    Still trapped in the little cage, this Giant was able to engage in rapid bursts of speeds where it was able to put its full Chainsaw to bear. Anytime that Jon Stones or Newton suffered from the Chainsaw''s edge, they bled and suffered.


    Bybining his organic and mechanic abilities, and integrating them with Norman''s natural Sage Elementalist Abilities, Giant Norman was literally unstoppable as he made the 2 ridiculously strong Superhumans look weak.


    Jon Stones and Newton were not alone, the other Grade C Superhumans seeing their brave actions also pitched in on this battle to try making a difference.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Instantly after they entered the battlefield though, Giant Norman made another move. As his perceptive A.I eyes rapidly scanned the battlefield, essing the threat level of the opponents, the Stealth A.I gave new orders.


    "A.I Chip #010, A.I Chip #011, A.I Chip #012, Engage!"


    Originally, due to Alexander stealing the show and Norman''s consequent test subjectilization, Norman''s own test subjects were relegated to the side but now making use of its higher authority, the Stealth A.Imanded the others.


    "Affirmative!"


    Instantly after their replies, the 3 other Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities jumped back into the fray with gusto to kickstart their war with the humans.


    With the Draconic Crocodile leading the way, the Draconic Flying Mantis and the Undying Cockroach followed as they restarted their rampage.


    Each stomp and action from them were like they were ending the world.


    Each attack from them brought agony to the Grade C Superhumans.


    BOOM!


    Mostly focusing on defense, they were able to barely stay alive but this was no sustainable strategy, one overwhelming attack from the aggressive Draconic Crocodile did it as another Grade C Superhuman was killed!


    At this rate, it was already turning ridiculous!


    This was the freaking 23rd Grade C death today!


    Newton and Jon Stones were not faring much better after 2 minutes. Despite pushing themselves to the limits of their grade, there was still a qualitative difference between Grade B and Grade C that could not be crossed.


    They were able topete with Giant Norman only because he didn''t evolve the normal way, and because he was not fully familiar with his powers.


    As the Stealth A.I learned more about how to fully harness the power of this body, both Grade C Superhumans were exposed to the agony of weakness.


    Giant Norman consistently smacked them to the ground.


    He consistently beat the heck out of them.


    Newton and Jon Stones suffered but they were never giving up.


    Jon Stonesughed maniacally. "It''s been a long time since I''ve been so beat up¡­, hahaha¡­, I love it!"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    At a corner of the ruins of the Hellfire Mountains, 3 Superhumans stood looking at the ongoing battlefield as a lot of things went through their minds.


    With aplicated look on his face, Din turned to look at his Master.


    ck Master Einstein did not bother to turn to look at him before answering. "I already knew of Alexander''s existence before now".


    "Weing the Naks is our only way to embrace true greatness".


    "I have been working for them since".


    "Norman was simply a pawn in the game, he''s discardable".


    "Make your decision now, follow me to greatness or fight and die".


    Din looked onest time at the Giant form of the leader that he had followed for a significant part of the year, he looked back at his master.


    "I trust you; I''ll follow you".


    Crack!


    Daemon''s knuckles cracked as he heard them say this. "You 2 backstabbers!"


    He red at them, most pointedly at ck Master Einstein. "Why?!"


    "How can you do this to Norman?"


    "He really saw you as arade in arms, he fully trusted you!"


    "How could you do this?!"


    ck Master Einstein smirked. "The world is not a fairytale; the world is simply a dark fantasy of your worst nightmares".


    "You either ept reality or hit your head against a wall".


    "You¡­!"


    As Daemon''s energy became agitated, Einstein smoothly teleported away.


    "Craxes!"


    Instantly after the Red Dragon appeared, Din mounted it and flew towards his master. They both levitated close to Alexander, the real viin of today''s show.


    At close range, Din curiously looked at the Shadow Elementalist.


    ''Viiny¡­, how does it feel like when you''re the hated one¡­?''


    Alexander turned to look at him. "It feels¡­ good!"


    Din was shocked. "How did you hear¡­?"


    Alexander ignored him. "Einstein, assist me let''s end this farce".


    "Killing Jon Stones is the key".


    "Once he is dead, I know Newton, he''ll escape to save his life".


    "Let today end on a high note!"


    "Yes, Governor Alexander". Einstein''s eyes gleamed sharply.

 Chapter 295 Battle For Survival! [4]

    "Necromancy Ability: Soul Realm!"


    "Necromancy Ability: Soul Eyes!"


    Despite being incredibly angry at Einstein and Din for their betrayal, Daemon was smart, he was old and experienced, he knew that anger could solve nothing.


    Deciding to fight against Einstein and the others would lead to suicide, he recognized this and was why Daemon decided to take another path.


    Unlike Jon Stones, Daemon did not give a damn how many civilians and Superhumans died today, all that he cared for was his old friend.


    Remembering the good old days when he first met Norman, how this genius helped him to exceed his limits on numerous asions, the memories, the emotions, remembering everything left Daemon desperate to save him.


    This was why Daemon ignored everything and tried to save him.


    Instantly after activating this ability, Daemon''s Lich body became slightly ethereal as a part of him was pulled into the soul realm.


    In the soul realm and with his Soul Eyes, he was able to see more clearly.


    In the soul realm, his vision and the surrounding were mostly dark green and the floating souls were yellow. The Soul Realm was the same thing as the Spirit ne, just different areas of the same reality.


    Looking ahead into the distance, Daemon was able to pinpoint Norman''s soul due to their connection.


    At this moment, Norman''s soul seemed to be trapped.


    A powerful grey influence tainted the soul of his old friend. The grey influence already took up 95% of the soul space,pressing Norman''s soul to only 5% of his total soul space, thereby taking control of his body.


    Seeing this, Daemon''s eyes gleamed. "That''s the one!"


    "Necromancy King Authority: Wraith Lord!"


    Screech!


    The shrieks of countless Wraiths in this soul world reverberated as they listened to the summons of the Necromancy King.


    As soon as they arrived, Daemon gave his orders.


    "That is your target".


    "Attack and tear that grey influence apart!"


    SCREECH!!!


    The Wraiths shrieked loudly and rushed to attack.


    They barely started attacking when the intelligent A.I detected the threat. It didn''t evenst a few seconds after it detected the threat, Daemon groaned in pain as from reality, his body suffered a crippling blow.


    The attack from the Draconic Praying Mantis was deadly.


    "Garggh¡­!" His ming skull made weird sounds.


    Instantly, the damage yanked Daemon''s influence from the Soul Realm. Despite leaving there already though, his authority remained, the Wraiths would not stop until they had fulfilled their orders and destroyed the grey influence.


    "Hehe¡­" Daemon grinned but he soon regretted it.


    The intelligent A.I understood the threat that he posed.


    One of the Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities was dispatched to annihte him.


    Seeing the gigantic Undying Cockroach stomp towards him, this Necromancer was petrified as he tried to escape only to be caught in the gravity ability of the gigantic cockroach that pulled him towards it.


    Daemon was not going down without a fight.


    "For Norman!"


    Daemon yelled as he opened the teleportation portals to his undead kingdom, instantly, hundreds of thousands of Skeletons started charging through.


    In no time, he was on top his Bone Dragon.


    He red at the Undying Cockroach.


    "You''re fighting against a King".


    "You don''t get to him without finishing his subjects first".


    The Undying Cockroach only saw the skeletons as an annoying pestilence though, they could not stop it, it stomped its way through them effortlessly.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Daemon fought for his life.


    Even as the battle continued raging and as Alexander came increasingly closer to ending Jon Stones life, at another part of the battlefield, Predator and Ak maintained their shield as Legs keenly observed.


    "Master, let me out there!"


    "I need to help; Jon Stones can''t win alone!"


    "I can''t let him die!"


    Legs conveniently ignored his student''s plea.


    Since the start of this crazy battle where one trump card after the other was revealed by both sides, including secrets, Legs was as quiet as a mouse as he quietly digested all these information like a supeputer.


    Despite being a Grade C Summoner already, withoutpletely digesting his powers yet, Legs knew that this was a war that was still above him.


    Not even de had the capital to safely engage this battle, they were all just small yers in a battle of this magnitude.


    The number of dead Grade C Superhumans already proved this.


    He turned to look at de. "I know you Pugilists like to follow your instincts, but today, if we don''t use our brain, we will all die".<novelnext></novelnext>


    Feeling the gravitas as his master said this, de calmed down.


    "So what is your n? Do you really have a n?"


    Legs looked at his student without replying, his mind went to the virtual interface notification again as it instantly appeared before him again.


    -----


    [You have triggered Grade B Mission: Battle against the Bio-Mechanic Monster- Giant Norman!]


    [Mission Details: You have encountered the ultimate form of Alexander''s Bio-Mechanic Test Subject. Help in the battle to defeat Giant Norman.]


    [Mission Requirement: Deal attacks that wipes away at least 30% Health Points of the Bio-Mechanic Giant!]


    [Mission Rewards: 10,000,000 Experience Points, Increased Renown, and 2 Giant Norman Character Summon Cards!]


    ----


    Legs''s eyes flickered, really, he had no concrete n yet.


    He was about to reply his student when he paused, one of his tattoos that was on his wrist just pulsed.


    Before he could look down at it, Aaron''s voice floated to his ears the next moment. ''Altan justmunicated to you again through prayer, this time, you need to hear it, it''s important''.


    ''Project it''. Legs was decisive.


    One of the advantages of his breakthrough was that his control over the grey world was now better than ever before. Even without going to the grey world, his will alone could influence the grey world.


    His will was able to epass the pulsing ball that represented Altan in the grey world, instantly Legs heard the familiar voice ringing in his ears.


    ''Your Excellency, please answer me this time!'' The voice sounded agitated.


    ''I''m in danger but I''ve found a way!''


    ''I was able to bypass all the Titans and infiltrate deep into the Ancient Titan Kingdom to where the alien machine is kept''.


    ''After days of cozying up with his surviving consciousness, I was able tomunicate with the Emperor of the Titans''.


    ''He agreed to help me free his race''.


    ''He told me the only weakness in the alien energy machine''.


    ''Your Excellency, I''m in danger, please send help!''


    ''I won''tst long without your help''.


    ''I need the help of a Grade C Superhuman to break the cycle''.


    Legs''s eyes gleamed sharply, Altan''s agitated words seemed to have set off a storm in his head as a lot of realizations came to his mind.


    At this moment, without a drastic change, Alexander already won.


    There was really no use to stopping the process of Alexander channeling the power of the core anymore since they already created the monstrosities, but stopping the cycle of the Titans meant more than that.


    Legs''s eyes shone. ''The Grade C Mission!''


    ''That is it!''


    ''That is probably our best chance at stopping this Alexander''.


    de grabbed him on the shoulder and shook him, disrupting him from his train of thought as he red at him. "Do you have a n?"


    Legs looked at his student. "Yes, I have a n".


    "We need to go to the South".


    "¡­"


    Legs understood the confusion and exined with as few words as he could without exposing his secrets. "Trust me, that''s our best chance".


    "I''m at your service". Christensen was quick to voice his support.


    As for de, not so much, this Pugilist looked at his master and shook his head. "No¡­," He looked down. "I''m not running again".


    "I promised myself that I won''t run from any battle again".


    "I regretted not intervening when Jon Stones was ganged up on".


    "I won''t run".


    "It is now part of my super way".


    "If I run now, I''m sure that I''ll forever remain stagnated where I currently am".


    "Besides, I don''t want to let Jon Stones die alone".


    "I already let him die once, not again".


    "If we''re dying today, I want to die alongside my idol!" de''s eyes glowed with determination.


    Legs keenly looked at his student, seeing the look in his eyes, he could already tell that it was futile trying to convince de any further.


    "Ok". He nodded.


    "But to do this without you, I need help". He looked ahead; his eyes gleamed. "Powerful help".

 Chapter 296 Radical Plans; The Turning Point!

    5 minutester¡­


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The battle continued raging.


    Jon Stones was already terribly injured, due to ack of progress in dealing meaningful damage to the enemy, Newton was already bing discouraged as his motivation to deal as much damage as possible reduced.


    The intensity of the battle started reducing which made the eventual oue even more lopsided, Giant Norman was still dominating.


    Jon Stones was literally the only one still giving his best for this lost cause.


    To a lot of the Grade C Superhumans present, this was already a lost cause. Giant Norman was simply too strong, he could not be stopped.


    Now, they were simply biding their time for their eventual downfall.


    Seeing them like this, Alexander reveled in their misery.


    "Hahaha¡­, Space Peasants¡­!"


    "Surrender and wee in the rule of Space Lords!"


    "Do not die a vain death, live to witness the new era of space knowledge!"


    While all these happened in the open, in the dark, a certain calctive and mischievous Summoner started his dark arts of moving behind the scenes.


    In no time, he managed to convince his 2 prime targets.


    "Are you sure?"


    "Yes". Legs confidently answered.


    That was all that Daemon needed, he no longer hesitated.


    "Necromancy Ability: Skeleton Wall!"


    "Necromancy Ability: Underworld Teleportation!"


    Bzzz!


    The Skull Necromancer teleported out of this battlefield!


    "¡­"


    Seeing how fervently Daemon fought on behalf of his old friend in a bid to rescue him from Alexander''s sharp ws, no one expected this Necromancer to suddenly bail out at thest moment.


    What they didn''t know was that this Necromancer was convinced by someone else into taking that drastic step at this tense moment.


    Like the others, Daemon was not blind, he could see the state of the battle. He more than anyone else knew that without a drastic intervention, Alexander already more or less won and his old friend would remain a puppet forever.


    Daemon could not allow this but the problem was that he had no solution.


    This was the reason why when Legs came to him, he embraced it.


    First, Legs was no newbie. Despite the fact that he only recently became a Grade C Superhuman, the Sexy Chocte was well-known within the circle of the Clown Society and Daemon himself was not oblivious.


    Having shed with Legs and his students once, this warrior had great respect for him, this added to why he was so easily convinced.


    ''If a drastic turn is going to happen, I can''t bank on conventional anymore, only mavericks like the Sexy Chocte can break this status quo''.


    ''I don''t know how he''ll do it, but they''re mavericks for a reason''.


    The Skull Necromancer irrationally decided to throw his lots behind Legs, and he was not alone, Legs was also able to convince someone else.


    Legs also managed to convince the White me.


    This warrior found it hard to trust Legs at first but Daemon''s unflinching faith in this Summoner added to her reasons of trusting him.


    This female warrior was ready to do anything that could increase their chances of sess, after suffering Jon Stones'' death once, thest thing that she wanted to experience was suffering from his 2nd death.


    These 2 Grade C Superhumans teleported out of this battlefield.


    As soon as they did, Legs made his move.


    -----


    [NEW!] You have activated Special Summoner Ability: Spirit Coordinates!


    You have activated Summoner Ability: Beast ne Summoning!


    ----


    After his breakthrough, Legs got more than just a meteoric rise in his strength. Though due to the ongoing battle, he had not been able to go through his new status, he was aware that he had ess to new abilities.


    The Spirit Coordinates enabled him to mark Altan''s position in the Spirit ne, and through this connection, he entered the beast ne.


    With the same connection, he was able to change his coordinates in reality to that of Altan''s. Oning out of the beast ne through the rainbow bridge, he would appear directly at the other side of Darvis, the South.


    He didn''t leave alone; he took Christensen and their beasts along.


    He left only one stubborn fellow behind.


    Bzzz!


    As soon as Legs left, de took centerstage.


    At this moment, this warrior''s eyes already turned pitch-ck. Having been held back by his master since, he was already frustrated but now, he could finally unleash his fury, he could finally unleash his emotion.


    de did not hesitate.


    Due to his excitement, he was already in an adrenaline state and this enabled him to trigger his greatest talent to date instantly.


    "Special Talent: Demi-Singrity!"


    "Demi-Singrity Ability: Explosive Burst!"


    "Demi-Singrity Ability: One-hit Kill!"


    de arrived beside Giant Norman in an instant, his speed was otherworldly, as for his right fist, it was already glowing so bright with the energy of a star.


    This Pugilist punched with all this power.


    BOOM!


    CRACK!


    The airspace cracked; Giant Norman felt it.


    In one move, de lost half his Health Points but in exchange, though he was not able to kill Giant Norman in one move, he dealt so much damage in one blow that for the first time, Giant Norman bled!


    This was a feat that even Jon Stones had not achieved yet!<novelnext></novelnext>


    Giant Norman staggered backwards after the incredible punch.


    Even as shock reverberated through this battlefield from the punch, Jon Stones and de ignored everything else as they turned to look at each other.


    Unlike the others, these 2 felt such an affinity at this moment like they were one. For a long time, they had trailzed their way forward as unique individuals but for the first time, they felt like they saw parallels of themselves.


    They literally saw themselves in each other.


    Jon Stones saw so much of his younger self in de.


    de saw what he wanted to be in the future in Jon Stones.


    Both warriors smiled, they didn''t need tomunicate first, they understood each other, they understood what went on in their minds.


    Their super ways were more or less the same.


    They spoke at the same time with the same conviction.


    "No Retreat!"


    "No Surrender!"


    Stoked in their passion, de and Jon Stones ignored everything else as with crazy motivation, they pounced on Giant Norman with gusto!


    They no longer cared about death, all they cared about at this moment was channeling the true essence of a Pugilist in a bid to save their.


    Powered by revenge and other emotions, these 2 Pugilists entered a special state where everything that they did and touched turned into gold, dangerous gold.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Even as this happened, having lost it''s initial target, the Undying Cockroach did not give up as it tore the airspace open before teleporting away.


    The Undying Cockroach went after the Skull Necromancer.


    Also, as soon as he discovered where they teleported to, Alexander guessed their ns. He sent another of his allies to go intercept them.


    ¡­


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The Undead Titans rampaged in the Ancient Titan Pce.


    A human intruding was already enough to stimte them, but Altan infiltrating so deep and learning the secret of the energy machine caused them to go Berserk. All the Undead Titans went after this Pugilist.


    Altan was still alive only because of the 5-meter-tall machine.


    Even as the machine kept on drilling into the ground, Altan continually used it as a refuge to escape from the deadly attacks of the Titans.


    The Titans dared not go too close in fear of destroying the machine. The A.I''s in their head that controlled them were programmed not to touch the machine.


    This was the only reason why Altan was still alive but his life was still on the edge. Even as he scrambled for his life, they finally came.


    Bzzz!


    Hearing the sound of the airspace being torn alone excited Altan to no end, though his face changed when he saw a ming skull appear in his vision.


    "Kill!"


    As soon as Daemon ordered, his skeletons poured out in droves as they shed against the Titans. None of them were spared, even as they shed against the Titans like a gue, the White me appeared.


    Legs and Christensen appeared not long after.


    On seeing the 2 familiar figures, Altan was ecstatic.


    "Praise be to the Almighty Hermit!" This religious fanatic was fervent.


    "It''s that spot, that is the weak point". He pointed at a spot on the machine.


    "The Emperor says it should be destroyed in one hit, that is the only way to stop the mechanism".


    "Anymore and there can be anomalies".


    From the skies, Legs looked at it. The gigantic machine kept on drilling into the ground without a care of the world even as it served as an energy receiver for pure core energy from the core.


    It was a finely designed machine but it was not perfect, one of these inconsistencies was pointed out by Altan.


    As Legs looked at this weak point, some questions lingered in his mind.


    ''How sturdy is this machine?''


    ''Can normal Grade C attacks overwhelm it''s defense?''


    ''What if we are not strong enough to destroy it in one hit?''


    All these questions held Legs back from making a move immediately.


    "SCREECH¡­!!!"


    The Undying Cockroach arrived with a loud shrieking sound.


    "Hey, we need to be fast or that Cockroach will turn here into a ruin in no time, we have no time".


    Daemon''s urging put Legs under more pressure but he didn''t act.


    This moment was delicate, any mistake could spoil it all.


    As the Undying Cockroach charged towards them, the pressure increased but it only made Legs''s brain to be calmer and think more rationally.


    The next moment, his eyes shone, he just got inspiration.


    The gigantic Undying Cockroach opened its Giant mouth in a bid to attack Daemon who was it''s primary target, this was when Legs moved.


    Bzzz!


    He moved so fast that he arrived behind Daemon in an instant, before Daemon could understand what was going on, he pushed him towards the machine which at the same time made the Undying Cockroach to focus there.


    "Augment it before it attacks!"


    The White me was shocked but the pressure of this moment made her to act instinctively, her white glow of empowerment engulfed the Cockroach.


    The next moment, this Bio-Mechanic Monstrosity became even more lethal.


    Daemon could only watch with wide eyes; he could not dodge.


    The Undying Cockroach opened its mouth and breath lethal Gravity energy!


    "WHOO¡­!!!"


    BOOM!

 Chapter 297 Berserk Titans!

    This was the turning point!


    One of Legs''s professions in his previous life was that he trained as a martial artist. This gave him a good physique, he was strong but this was not his real passion, his real passion was still for his intellectual professions.


    He also pursued careers as a Zoologist and a Game Developer.


    As a Zoologist, his curiosity for wildlife and beasts was satisfied. He was exposed to so many wonders of the wild that he wanted to replicate them, at least if not in reality but through a virtual world.


    This was what pushed him into pursuing a career as a Game Developer.


    During the programming and development of Dominator, he became an important consultant of thepany. With his knowledge about beasts, he featured extensively in the design of the Summoner main ss.


    Through this, he was able to flex much of his knowledge and fantasies.


    Dominator enabled him to create his wildest ideas, and it also enabled him to discover his strengths and weaknesses, he worked better when he was curious.


    His curiosity made him value knowledge far more than brute strength.


    This approach to life defined who he was as a human being.


    Now, in Darvis, it also defined who he was as a Summoner. For a long time, Legs spent so much effort driving the notion into Christensen''s head that Summoners needed to rely more on their brains than their brute strength.


    This was as much of a reminder to his student as it was to himself.


    Driving that notion so hard in Christensen also made sure that he didn''t go astray, that was the main reason why at thest moment despite the tension, the danger of the Undying Cockroach behind them, he was calm enough to think.


    He knew that going in blind and impulsively was detrimental.


    A single mistake due to not ounting for everything could spoil everything.


    Perhaps, if Jon Stones or even de followed him here, he would have been confident in their one-hit damage ability enough to let them attack the weak point in the 5-meter-tall machine but Daemon was merely a Necromancer.


    As for the White me, she was merely a Support Elementalist.


    None of them were proficient in one-hit damages and was why he was hesitant. Instead of going for brute force, in this tense moment, he fell back to his basics and decided to use his head.


    His eyes scanned everything; his brain calcted everything.


    Seeing the Undying Cockroach charge towards Daemon with unflinching determination, he got an epiphany and remembered something from his previous life. ''A.I''s are imperfect''.


    ''They can be efficient and all that but they are never perfect''.


    ''Theyck human emotion and empathy''.


    ''Theyck the ability to makeplicated decisions on the spot''.


    ''They only make decisions based on the quantity of codes that were programmed into their systems which limits their options''.


    ''Alexander''s orders were to go after Daemon, since the Undying Cockroach was not designed to work here in the South, I doubt Alexander and Norman were perceptive enough to design codes to make it recognize this machine''.


    ''This means the Undying Cockroach does not respect this machine''.


    ''Which indirectly means it can be our source of firepower''.


    These thought patterns flowed through Legs''s head like water, he thought of them in an instant and arrived at conclusions in an instant.


    This was why he used his new ability to teleport behind Daemon.


    On teleporting behind the Necromancy, he told him only one thing as he was constrained by time to say more to him.


    "Please, trust me".


    It was a single sentence but it contained a lot of meanings.


    Before today, Daemon and Legs were archenemies, there was no basis of trust between them but to save his friend, the power of love made this Necromancer to lessen his cautiousness and blindly trust the Summoner.


    He let Legs push him towards the machine.


    "Augment it before it attacks!"


    The White me was shocked but this warrior could think fast, she already more or less understood Legs''s thought pattern and n.


    Though she was shocked, she did not hold back, she did as was told.<novelnext></novelnext>


    As soon as she augmented the Undying Cockroach, this Bio-Mechanic Monster increased to an even more ridiculous level in power.


    Overflowing with power, it breath a concentrated ball of Gravity energy towards Daemon. By now, Daemon already had a guess at Legs''s n and though he was the human sacrifice here, for Norman, he sacrificed himself.


    Even Legs was shocked, for a moment, he thought Daemon would bail out. ''How close as friends were they?!''


    BOOM!


    When the concentrated ball of Gravity energy hit, Daemon stood no chance, his sturdy Lich skeleton was overloaded with energy before exploding the next moment. Surprisingly, the skeleton exploded easier than normal.


    The Skeleton exploded easier than normal because Daemon self-destructed himself!


    Thebined power of the explosion paired with the concentrated ball of Gravity energy concentrated so much energy that the air became distorted.


    Even if this machine was made using the so called Arcanite or another exotic metal alloy, when still faced against so much power, it sumbed.


    The weak point of the machine melted from outside.


    In just a few seconds, a hole was drilled through the gigantic 5-meter-tall machine. Instantly after this, a pulse of energy spread through this Ancient Kingdom and through all the Undead Titans.


    All the Titan''s eyes started glowing a Berserk red color even as the energy machine became unstable, this was when the 3 Champion Titans moved.


    Legs did not know how long these 3 Titan Champion corpses had been trapped inside the energy machine, but it was probably a long time.


    After so long of being exploited, 2 of the Titan Champions burst out of the machine as the machine finally imploded from within.


    BOOM!


    Legs''s eyes widened in shock. "What?!"


    "Should they not be dead?!"


    Eleanor was already directing an usatory and angry gaze towards him, Legs waspletely confused as he stared in shock as all his theories fragmented into pieces, his confidence disappeared like fleeting clouds.


    ''Was I wrong all along?''


    ''Or¡­, did I make a mistake?''


    ''Where did I go wrong?''


    While Legs was stuck in his dilemma, the 2 Titan Champions already charged out. Like the other Undead Titans, their eyes glowed red.


    These Undead Titans were already Berserk!


    The worst thing was that the 2 Champion Titans were Grade C Titans!


    Legs was horrified. "What have I done?!"


    For a moment, he felt that the Titans were out for revenge. After what the humans did with their corpses, not allowing them to rest in peace despite going extinct long ago, Legs felt that they were out of revenge.


    ''But I literally just liberated you ungrateful bastards!''


    Amid his panic, Legs suddenly felt a gaze, a familiar gaze.


    He looked down only for his eyes to meet the familiar eyes of the Emperor of the Ancient Titan Empire, this Ancient Titan seemed to say a word.


    Legs did not understand. "What?"


    He was not answered, his consciousness was rather pulled away.


    Bzzz!


    Instantly, Legs''s consciousness left his body, leaving his body vulnerable at this tense time when the Undead Titans already became Berserk.


    Shocked, Christensen grabbed his master''s body and looked at the Titans in horror. As for Eleanor, this warrior was already losing her mind.


    Now, this battle was literally left to her and her alone.


    She stared in deep frustration and disappointment.


    She yelled angrily. "I HATE COMRADES!"

 Chapter 298 The Remnant Of The Ancient Titan Empire

    "Necromancy Ability: Soul Tangibility!"


    "Necromancy Ability: Energy Life Form- Soul Necromancer!"


    "Ancient Necromancy Technique: Life After Death!"


    At thest moment, Daemon decided to self-destruct!


    Like Legs, this warrior was once a high-grade Summoner. Though he was not as fixated and talented on using his brain to solve every situation, Daemon was still used to using his brain. At that tense moment, he used his brain again.


    By self-destructing, even if the power of the Undying Cockroach''s breath was not enough before, the resulting power would be more than enough.


    If thebination of so many powers could still not ovee the defenses of the weak point in the alien machine, then they stood no chance in damaging it.


    Deciding to self-destruct was not made on a whim though.


    Daemon was ready to do anything to save Clown including giving his life if that was what was required, yet, he was not resigned to giving away his life meaninglessly. When he self-destructed, he had a contingency n.


    Only maniacs could embrace death fearlessly and he was not one of them.


    BOOM!


    As the ravaging powers tore his Skeleton body apart, a powerful energy fluctuation erupted that solely affected the soul of this powerful Necromancer.


    When he became a Grade C Necromancer, Daemon could finally ess the full inheritance of his progenitor. The inheritance contained a lot of things, and like he expected, there were some OP self-preservation techniques among them.


    He still could not learn all of them but he seeded in learning some of the most important ones, now, one of them was the core of his contingency n.


    Bzzz!


    As soon as his body was torn apart, while Legs and the others focused on the resulting damage to the alien machine, he focused on his soul.


    Originally, when the body was destroyed, it had a tendency of severely affecting the soul also. In most scenarios, the soul end up fragmenting into countless pieces but this time, it was not so.


    With the Soul Tangibility ability, Daemon was able to keep his soul intact.


    All the fragments of the soul were attracted to the center like his inner soul suddenly became a ma. Of course, it was not perfect, some parts of his soul still drifted away but he retained more than enough to stay conscious.


    In his soul form, Daemon saw the world from a yellow point of view.


    It was a fascinating view but he didn''t gawk at it. Just like there werews of physics and chemistry, so were there alsows that governed the spirit world.


    A Soul could not exist without a body.


    This was why Daemon made his next move. The Energy Lifeform- Soul Necromancer ability enabled Daemon to live as an energy lifeform!


    Bzzz!


    Instantly after his soul became tangible,prehensive changes went on in his soul. He gained the traits of an energy lifeform in no time.


    After that, he activated thest ability of his contingency n.


    Surviving as an energy lifeform was all fun and games, but staying in this form came with a lot of handicaps despite it''s also clear advantages.


    Daemon had no intentions of staying like this forever, this was why he used thest ability, this was the ultimate inheritance from his progenitor. This technique was the technique of Life After Death!


    Instantly after activating it, Daemon felt like an imprint was left in his soul. This Necromancer now felt that with just a thought, he could levitate to any nearby living body and possess it to return back to life in a new body.


    This was his progenitor''s greatest technique and invention!


    With this, Daemon was able to safeguard his life. Everything was not rosy though, in exchange for this sacrifice, he became much weaker.


    "FILTHY HUMANS¡­!"


    One of the Titan Champions spoke and his voice reverberated with power.


    "YOU DARE DEFILE OUR BODIES AND SOULS EVEN IN DEATH!"


    "EVEN IN EXTINCTION, YOU WON''T LET US REST IN PEACE!"


    "YOU SHALL PAY FOR THIS EFFONTERY!"


    The deep vendetta of this Titan Champion could be felt from his voice.


    Feeling the power of the 2 Titan Champions, Eleanor was already having a headache. She desperately looked at the alien machine, at this moment, the pure core energy inside it already turned berserk but nothing was happening.


    None of the Undead Titans showed signs of going back to sleep.


    Basking under the energies of the 2 Titan Champions, the other Undead Titans became even stronger as they charged towards them.


    Eleanor looked at Daemon''s small ethereal form and saw no reassurances, she turned to look at Christensen, she looked at Legs who was already unconscious, then she looked back ahead and braced herself.


    "I did not sign for this¡­" She felt like crying.


    "I''m a Support Elementalist!"


    She braced herself for this final sh with determination and grit despite her manyints. For Jon Stones, she would do anything.


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    Bam! Bam!


    The first thing that woke Legs up was the explosive sounds.


    On opening his eyes, he discovered that he was floating in the skies. On the ground beneath him was a race struggling to survive an apocalypse, he recognized this ce, this was the Ancient Titan Pce!


    Unlike the ruin that he was now used to though, this Kingdom was still at the height of its powers and the Titan Pce was still majestic.


    The gigantic Titans scrambled to defend themselves as destruction descended on their territory, there were few things that they could do against overwhelming power, the antimatter bombs descended with fury!


    BOOM!<novelnext></novelnext>


    Each explosion imed lives in the thousands!


    Legs was shocked. "Is this¡­, the 2nd Cataclysm?!"


    "Yes". A voice answered him the next moment.


    Shocked, Legs turned to look only to see the familiar Emperor of the Titan Race now levitating beside him. At this moment, only sadness radiated from this once majestic Emperor as he watched himself and his warriors defend to no avail.


    Without looking at Legs, he narrated. "They came with fury".


    "We underestimated them, or better still, we underestimated the power of our own core".


    "With the energy harvested from the core, they were able to create weapons of mass destruction".


    "Antimatter bombs, psionic bombs¡­, these were things that we had never encountered before, this was power that was far above us".


    Legs looked to the skies as he saw 8 spaceships descend into orbit.


    From these 8 spaceships, the weapons of mass destruction were unleashed on the territories of the Ancient Races!


    The destruction was too much, the powerful Ancient Races could not withstand it, not even the Ancient Dragons.


    Legs''s eyes widened; this was really a Cataclysm!


    For minutes, Legs simply watched destruction.


    But after another minute, his perspective suddenly changed, he was now inside the Ancient Titan Kingdom. The Titan Emperor bloodied all over was in his already ruined pce with his 2 War Champions and his 12 War Generals.


    Desperation showed in the eyes of these apex warriors.


    "We can''t fight such raw power, we''ll all die!" One of the Titan Champions broke the silence as he said the inevitable.


    "We should surrender". One of the War Generals suggested.


    "No, it''s toote". The Emperor''s voice boomed powerfully.


    "We''ve already crossed their bottom line, since they already started, they won''t stop till we are wiped off the face of the".


    This Emperor''s eyes flickered as lot of thoughts went through his mind, then he suddenly sighed like he just arrived at a difficult decision.


    He looked at his Champions and Generals. "Do you trust me?"


    They did not hesitate. "Yes!"


    "Then die with me!" He stated with crazy confidence and determination.


    "We can''t survive this, the best we can do is safeguard our race".


    "We can''t let the Titan Race fade into oblivion".


    At this point, the Generals and War Champions already more or less had an idea about what he meant. "Do you mean the Chosen Son?"


    "Yes, he''s our only hope to avoid extinction".


    Everything fast-forwarded from here to a few minutester¡­


    Led by their Emperor, the Titan Army staged theirst stand against the invaders who invoked the cataclysm, they fought to thest warrior!


    BOOM!


    When the final antimatter bomb triggered, 11 of the Generals following the n sacrificed their bodies to harness the residual energy of this bomb.


    Like expected, despite their physique, they could not survive it.


    They all exploded but before that, using the innate advantages of their Titan bodies, they were able to secretly channel the energy of the antimatter bomb.


    They all channeled the energy to reinforce the body of the final General. Like the others, this General did not survive the power but his body did not explode, rather his body expanded and took in all the power, reinforcing his organic tissue.


    As this happened, the 2 Titan Champion were entirely focused on preventing the alien invaders from noticing what happened and they seeded.


    This General''s soul was obliterated but his body survived, through a secret technique of the Titan Emperor, his corpse turned akin to a hibernating chamber.


    Again, from the eyes of the invaders, as soon as this happened, this corpse was teleported extremely deep beneath the Titan Kingdom.


    Not only the corpse was teleported there, a Titan was also teleported there, a Titan baby. This Titan baby was just a day old but to the Emperor, this was the only hope of the Titan race, the baby was stored inside the corpse.


    To scramble the sensors of the enemy spaceships from detecting what happened, the Emperor Titan made his own sacrifice, he detonated his kingdom!


    The whole Titan Kingdom exploded and turned into a ruin!


    With the death of his Kingdom also died the Emperor!


    Convinced of their overwhelming victory over the Ancient Titans, the spaceships soon left to elerate the extinction of other races.


    "¡­"


    Legs was shocked by what he just saw as he remained quiet.


    The Titan Emperor turned to look at him. "I know you owe me nothing but please, save my race from extinction and rescue the Chosen Son".


    "It is not enough but I will give you my War Sword".


    Legs turned to look into the eyes of this powerful Emperor. "I¡­"

 Chapter 299 The Last Stand; The Bravery Of Pugilists!

    Boom! Boom!


    Even as the war raged and as the Skull Necromancer and the White me defended themselves against the aggressive Titans, a certain Frost Giant watched everything that happened from a hidden location attentively.


    King Nagakin''s eyes flickered as he rapidly calcted.


    "I need to make my choice¡­, I need to make it now". He clenched his fists as he watched the battle that gradually turned out of favor for the humans.


    Legs was already out for a few minutes.


    In this time, Daemon and Eleanor were pounded, Christensen protected Legs''s body and was too weak to intervene, they were all already injured.


    "Alexander¡­!" King Nagakin said through gritted teeth.


    He witnessed the 2nd Cataclysm but he never really knew the culprits who were behind it. With Alexander''s reveal though, everything became clear.


    "That bastard!"


    His decision to ally with the Clown Society waspletely consequential.


    Now that he knew the real nature of the Clown Society, he felt even more reluctant to ally with them. Him being here was because of Alexander as the new Clown ordered him to go intercept Legs''s actions.


    He looked at the humans who were already in danger, then he made a decision. "I can''t ally with the murderer who almost caused my race''s extinction".


    "I''d rather ally with the humans".


    "I doubt they''ll ept me but Legs is different".


    "I don''t know why but he gives me different vibes, he''ll take me in".


    He chuckled at his decision. "This may make or break my race".


    "I hope I made the right decision". He no longer hesitated.


    The gigantic Frost Giant stood up and grabbed his War Axe. With one step, heunched himself forward with momentum as he charged towards the Undead Titans, his first chop with the Axe was filled with power.


    BOOM!


    "Be grateful humans¡­, I''vee to save you!"


    "Follow my lead!"


    "Axe Combination Attack: Green-White-Green!"


    White me Eleanor was surprised at the sudden intrusion of a neer, she was relieved though when King Nagakin did not attack her immediately.


    When the Frost Giant showed intentions of helping them, this Elementalist who was already on her wit''s end did not hesitate, she instinctively supported him and spammed him with support abilities that increased his power.


    "Good!" King Nagakin grinned as he felt power flow through his body.


    He singlehandedly shed against the 2 Champion Titans with Daemon and Eleanor assisting him from the side. For the moment, they became a bit safe.


    Another factor that saved them was that the Undead Titans didn''t seem to take sides, even as they shed with them, they also fought the Undying Cockroach, swarming it with such crazy numbers to lessen his impact.


    This way, they were able to barely keep up and survive.


    Eleanor became increasingly frustrated though; she was slowly losing her cool. "Where is that f*cking Legs?!"


    ¡­


    Daemon''s sudden withdrawal from the battlefield set even moremotion in the camps of the humans. Amplified by Alexander''s ruthless taunts, the humans already lost motivation to keep up giving their all to this losing battle.


    Even Newton, Norman''s master already lost motivation.


    The dominance showed by Giant Norman was simply too much, and with the assistance of the other Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities, they stood no chance.


    To protect their lives after witnessing so much of theirrades dying today, the surviving Grade C Superhumans started giving full focus to defense.


    Newton felt increasingly more useless as the battle raged.


    ''I''m sorry Norman, I failed you''.


    By now, any sensible warrior with a bit of brain already epted reality. Not even a miracle could result in Giant Norman being defeated any longer, by now, Alexander already won the war and enved the whole.


    What they did was simply dying the inevitable. One way or another, Darvis would fall to the Naks'' rule but among the warriors, not all of them were exactly sensible, there were 2 crazy warriors.


    BAM!


    Another tentacle empowered punch smacked Jon Stones to the ground as he coughed blood but he sprang to his feet the next moment.


    "I''m not dying anytime soon motherf*cker!"


    "DIE!!!" He aggressively attacked again.


    BAM!


    de''s reaction was even more crazy to being smacked into the ground. With his precognition talent, this Pugilist was able to time everything far better than Jon Stones to know the exact time to spring back to his feet.


    "DIE!!!" He was as aggressive as his role model.


    These 2 Pugilists did not believe reality, they believed in miracles!


    ''The essence of a Pugilist is miracles!''


    ''Pushing our body so hard that we be able to induce miracles''.


    ''Pugilists are reality-defilers!''


    ''We create miracles!''<novelnext></novelnext>


    ''If we face Demons, we purge and Exterminate them!''


    ''If we face Gods, we revolt and Annihte them!''


    ''So long as we breath and energy runs through our body, we''re unstoppable''.


    Every minute that passed in this battle, both of them were pushed to their limits so much that they gained more epiphanies about the Pugilist ss.


    Due to Jon Stones'' level at the peak already, his gains were more marginal but de¡­, de improved at a ridiculous level!


    His strength growth even shocked Jon Stones. Witnessing this talented warrior fighting alongside him to the death, Jon Stones felt exalted.


    ''Living centuries no longer feels as tedious''.


    ''Meeting de more than makes up for all my life regrets''.


    Despite their crazy beliefs, reality was reality, Giant Norman was too strong. Abo attack once again put Jon Stones'' life in danger.


    The Draconic Crocodile''s teeth closed in from behind dangerously.


    Feeling the danger, Jon Stones twisted his body at an impossible angle to dodge but the Draconic Praying Mantis was one step ahead of him as this Bio-Mechanic Beast bombarded him with concentrated psionic energy.


    The brief moment of being stunned from the attack rued Jon Stones. In a battle of this level of intensity, even a millisecond dy mattered.


    Giant Norman did not hesitate, he sted this warrior!


    Bringing all his mechanical weapons to bear, he unleashed disaster on Jon Stones. The Draconic Crocodile dealt the killing blow as its dangerous teeth mped against the flesh of the powerful Pugilist.


    Crunch!


    The sickening sound as teeth sank into flesh was chilling.


    "Ugh¡­!" Jon Stones groaned in pain.


    This time, he would not survive thisbo.


    Feeling it as vitality left his body, he grinned. "Hahaha¡­!"


    He red at Alexander. "Pugilists don''t whine at the face of death".


    "Not even death can make me revoke my beliefs and morality!"


    His eyes gleamed. "Pugilists are different, we are special!"


    "WE LAUGH AT THE FACE OF DEATH!" This warrior roared bravely.


    This time, Jon Stones did not make use of his self-preservation ability, he instead made use of a new Specialty Ability that he came with through this battle. The epiphanies that he gained today were not for fancy.


    He directed hisst nce towards de. "de¡­, you''re my sessor".


    "I died¡­, don''t die, keep my legacy going".


    "You''re the only Pugilist worthy of carrying my legacy in this!"


    "Stones'' Specialty: Insight Transfer!"


    Jon Stones made use of hisst Ability before doing the needful that could only be done by the exceedingly brave.


    BOOM!


    Jon Stones self-destructed!


    Unlike other sses though, the Pugilist focused so much on training their body that the energy contained in it was humungous.


    His self-implosion was the greatest by far as the power injured Giant Norman and the other Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities. Amid this explosion of power, something else happened, a transfer of insight and life experience.


    As Jon Stones'' soul fragmented into pieces, pieces of his mind, his life experiences, his umtions, they all merged and flew towards de.


    This umtion of experiences fused with de''s mind seamlessly without any rejections like they both came from the same source.


    de closed his eyes as he digested everything.


    Jon Stones died but with his death, de finally rose!


    When Jon Stones opened his eyes, they were darker than ever before. Another thing was that they reflected with the knowledge and battle experience of a centuries-old monster, de inherited Jon Stones'' umtion.


    This umtion paired with de''s talent instantly enabled him to break multiple levels in the Grade C realm, de improved qualitatively!


    In this battlefield, de evolved, he became a Pugilist at Jon Stones'' level. Paired with his talents, he theoretically already exceeded Jon Stones.


    "Mentor¡­, your legacy shall live on!"


    de''s eyes gleamed. "Special Talent: Demi-Singrity!"


    "Forbidden Pugilist Ability: 3rd Ultimate Form!"


    This crazybination introduced a crazy amount of power.


    de exploded with power.


    BOOM!

 Chapter 300 The Last Titan

    BOOM!


    The Undying Cockroach released another lethal Gravity breath!


    Fortunately, this time, it was not aimed at Eleanor and the others, rather it was aimed at the 2 Titan Champions. As soon as they felt the powerful energy fluctuations, both Titan Champions turned around.


    The Titan Champions were only below the authority of the Emperor in the Ancient Titan Kingdom, and all 3 had power at the level of Jon Stones.


    These 3 Titans kept their race aloft during the era of Ancient Races.


    Now, powered by pure core energy from the core that was channeled into the energy machine, they were more powerful than ever before.


    The only reason why Eleanor and the others were not dead yet was partly because of the Undying Cockroach, this Bio-Mechanic Monstrosity shed with them. This was another defect in its programming.


    The programmers of the A.I chip never expected their creation to fight against Undead Titans, theck of this option in its programming resulted in this avoidable scenario.


    The orders from Alexander were to kill Legs and all the Grade C Superhumans that teleported away, and that was solely what the A.I was focused on doing. Any other thing was simply distraction to it.


    Since the Titans blocked it, it decided to kill them first to get to its objective, this was what brought this tripartite battle scenario.


    If it was a human in the Cockroach''s stead, he would have preferred biding his time to let both sides wear each other out before jumping in to reap all the benefits, this was another defect of the A.I''s.


    As soon as the Undying Cockroach breath the extremely concentrated Gravity, both Titan Champions turned around as they held their swords up.


    They concentrated their energy in it to form a shield made of sword aura.


    It was sharp, concentrated, and sturdy.


    BOOM!


    Once the attack hit, it was like exploding dominoes.


    Despite the power behind the Gravity breath, both Titan Champions were able to defend themselves while also using the opportunity to counterattack.


    This was only a brief interlude in the battle, in the end, who the Titans and the Undying Cockroach were really interested in was the humans.


    Eleanor was already being pushed to her wits end.


    It took all her centuries-long battle experience to keep herself and herrades alive despite not being a defensive specialist, King Nagakin''s help only alleviated the pressure by a bit and this didn''tst long.


    As the battle raged, all of a sudden, Eleanor felt a sensation.


    She felt something ruthlessly cut off from her mind.


    Eleanor briefly froze, her heart skipped a beat.


    ''No¡­'' She simply thought it at first.


    She refused to believe it, she badly wanted not to believe it.


    During her intimate session with Jon Stones, as they let their passion lead, coincidentally, they were able to develop a telepathic connection with each other. She vaguely felt Jon Stones'' emotions as he experienced hisst moment of glory.


    When this Pugilist gave up the ghost, she also felt it.


    Eleanor wanted to go mad. "No!"


    "No¡­!"


    "NOOOOO¡­.!!!" She roared as pain engulfed her heart.


    Despite her pain, her enemies didn''t feel the same. That moment that she briefly froze and started screaming in agony proved dangerous, Daemon tried to defend her but his Soul form could do very little as the Titan''s attack hit them.


    Bam!


    "Ugh¡­!" Eleanor coughed blood even as she hit the floor.


    Despite her physical pain, Eleanor did not give attention to it neither did she give attention to the fact that she was in danger, only the pain in her heart dominated her being, this warriordy felt broken from within.


    ''It''s my fault''.


    ''Why did I leave him?''


    ''Perhaps, if I stayed with him, he would have survived''.


    ''I killed him!''


    This warriordy was ridden with guilt and regret.


    "Watch out!" Daemon roared as he erected an ethereal-looking shield.


    Bam!


    The shield could not hold as the Titan''s attacks broke through and injured them. Only King Nagakin stood his ground, this powerful Frost Giant was the sole reason why they were not annihted yet.


    "Pick yourself up!" The Frost Giant roared.


    "This is war, we lose loved ones!"


    "What matters is how we react to losing them".


    "Your loved one would not like you bing useless on his death".


    "He''s watching from the heavens, make his soul''s ascension smooth and easygoing by fulfilling his death wish of saving his".


    King Nagakin''s words were slightly ruthless but they hit straight at the point.


    These words were from an alien King but they reinvigorated Eleanor.


    Her eyes glowed with power as she red at the Undying Cockroach.


    "Hahaha¡­!" She seemed to go crazy as she cackled maniacally.


    "No retreat!"


    "No surrender!" She literally invoked Jon Stones in her being.


    "Today, we dine in hell till either of us dies!"


    "My husband''s death cannot be in vain!"


    She exploded with power!


    Boom!


    White me Eleanor no longer gave a damn about the fact that she was supposed to be a support Elementalist, driven by her anger and passion for revenge, this warrior became akin to a rabid dog as she pounced forward.


    "TASTE MY FURY!"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    To Christensen''s shock, all of a sudden, his master''s body became engulfed with a familiar fluctuation of space power before being teleported away.<novelnext></novelnext>


    While the student panicked about the sudden whereabouts of his master, Legs'' consciousness was finally returned to his body.


    He was not the only one that teleported, the Titan Emperor also teleported here with a few of the remaining energy left in his body.


    This was thousands of kilometers deep into the crust.


    This was where the secret survival cave was built.


    Legs looked ahead. At this moment, he was standing before a cave, everywhere was dark but due to being a Grade C Superhuman, he was able to see through the darkness at what was stored inside.


    Inside there, he saw a gigantic Titan.


    This Titan was far more gigantic than any other Titan that he had seen.


    "That''s Minovar, my strongest General". The Emperor said with emotion.


    Without needing any further exnations, Legs already understood what the Titan Emperor meant. His curiosity was already aroused as he looked closer at the stomach of the Titan, this was where he felt it.


    Badump! Badump!


    A heartbeat!


    Though tiny and faint, Legs was positive that this was a heartbeat.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Super Eyes


    ----


    As soon as Legs''s eyes were augmented by his super energy, his vision became much clearer and more prative. With this, he was able to look inside the stomach of this gigantic Titan, this was where he saw it.


    Despite the fact that centuries already passed since it''s birth, the young Titan baby was still as fresh, innocent, and peaceful as any newborn baby.


    Unlike the horrific-looking version of the Undead Titans, this Titan was still alive and fresh. It looked no different from a human baby; the only difference was the height and the much more prominent muscles at such a young age.


    "That is my son¡­" The Emperor spoke with emotion again. "Uranus".


    The Emperor turned to look at Legs. "After our war with the invaders started, I discovered that we were the losing side long before the cataclysm".


    "That is why I made this sacrifice".


    "I decided to make myst born, Uranus, the remnant of our race".


    "My ability was moreplicated than simply keeping Uranus alive".


    "When my 12 Generals sacrificed their lives to save our remnant, they were also able to transfer their life experiences and umtions into him. If he lives, at the right age, he would get ess to everything".


    "In essence, he is the reincarnation of my Generals". The Titan Emperor looked at his baby with emotion in his eyes.


    "He is the culmination of our desire to live and survive".


    "I never expected to be brought back to life but if you ignore everything including how the powers in our body were exploited, I figure that you humans did us a favor. If my son lives, he can be even stronger now".


    "Before leaving, I intend to also infuse mine and the life experiences of my 2 Champions into him".


    This Emperor''s eyes shone with ambition. "Uranus shall be the reincarnation of the elites of the Ancient Titan Race".


    "He will be the Emperor, the Champions, and the Generals all in one".


    "With him, I want Darvis to witness the might of Titans again".


    "I hope he bes the one that will avenge our death".


    "He lives to fight and destroy the invaders".


    After saying all these, the Titan Emperor finally stopped as he looked into Legs''s eyes with a strong gaze. "Please¡­"


    Thud!


    This Emperor fell to his knees!


    "¡­" Legs was shocked.


    The Titan Emperor presented his gigantic Sword to Legs.


    "I hear them calling you Sexy Chocte".


    The Emperor looked down to show submission. "You owe me nothing, I have nothing over you to feel obligated to make you help, but for my race, for empathy, please save my race".


    He looked up into Legs''s eyes. "Make Uranus yours".


    "Make him your student, make him your son".


    "He may be a mischievous kid but he''ll never give you too much troubles".


    Tears suddenly started flowing down this Emperor''s eyes. "I no longer want to ask from the perspective of an Emperor, I now beg as a father".


    "Please¡­, save my son".


    Legs was gobsmacked for a few seconds as this Emperor waited for his reply, then he suddenly blurted out. "I will save him".


    The Emperor bowed in gratitude to him before handing over the Sword, then he finally stood up. "Sexy Chocte, thank you".


    "Even in death, the Titan Race will not forget your goodwill".


    With this, the Titan Emperor finally let go of their undead shackles.


    All of a sudden, the body of this Emperor started fragmenting into pieces. "Never shall the body of Titans be exploited again¡­"


    In just a few seconds after the Emperor did it, all the Titans faded into ashes even as the ashes of the Emperor and his 2 Champions converged before fusing into the body of the young living Titan.


    The young Titan sneezed the next moment, then it''s hibernating chambers also fragmented, Minorva could finally rest in peace.


    The young Titan did not fall down, it floated in the air as its eyebrows flickered in a bid like he was about to open his eyes.


    "¡­" Legs froze in shock and curiosity.


    As he waited for the kid to open his eyes, his interface lit up.

    Legs''s annoyance at being interrupted disappeared instantly.


    With wide opened eyes, he gawked at the virtual interface notification that hovered before his vision. Despite reconfirming like 5 times already, he still felt like his brain was ying expensive tricks with him at this moment.


    He rubbed his head then he scratched his hair.


    "I¡­"


    "Uh¡­"


    "Ahh¡­"


    He was lost for words to say, so he simply spouted what came to him as the image of a familiar yer''s mode of expressing excitement shed before him.


    Legs roared. "Manchester F*cking United!"


    Legs still vividly remembered that day when he triggered the mission. Seeing the mission reward, he was blown away by excitement but he tempered his expectations due to the difficulty of the mission.


    Despite trying his best, he didn''t expect things to go so smooth sailing.


    Now, despite already being mentally prepared before now, when he finally saw the Lightsaber and its stats and abilities, he was blown away.


    "F*ck!"


    "I love you¡­I love you¡­, I f*cking love you!"


    As Legs expressed his excitement in a crazy manner, he suddenly paused as another virtual interface notification popped up before him.


    His brain literally short-circuited. "Ahh¡­"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Ehh¡­"


    "Ohhh¡­, fuckity f*ck man!"

    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    For the 2nd time in just a few minutes, Legs was so gob smacked that he was lost for words to say, he simply gawked at the interface notification.


    He opened his mouth to speak but no words came.


    His shock and excitement at this moment were so strong that he could no longer express himself coherently through words. His mouth repeatedly opened and closed, before he could speak though, to his shock, someone else did.


    "Guwawwa¡­!"


    "Gugugu¡­!"


    Legs was shocked as he turned his head to look, a bolt of electricity seemed to move through his body as soon as he saw the cute face.


    Bubbling with energy, Uranus stared curiously at the gigantic human.


    "Guguwa¡­!"


    For a moment, Legs was enchanted by the sheer cuteness.


    "Uranus?" Legs asked as he gazed lovingly at this young Titan.


    Without him knowing, Uranus'' incoherent words already stole his heart.


    The Titan was young, weak, and vulnerable like any human baby. Apart from his slightly more pronounced muscles and his redder skin, another key feature about naked Uranus was the circr lines that encircled his navel.


    Legs felt an ancient power settling in this circr rune.


    As he observed the Titan baby, Uranus also observed him.


    The next moment, to Legs''s shock, he spoke again.


    "Gugu¡­dada¡­?" The baby Titan tilted his tiny head in puzzlement.


    "Dada!" He quipped excitedly.


    "¡­!!!" Legs'' head literally exploded.


    In his previous life, he had been in 3 failed rtionships but not once in his 2 lives had he ever had a kid, being called Dada now impacted Legs in such a profound way that he was simply struck silly by it.


    As he looked infatuatedly at Uranus who giggled happily at the attention, his attention was suddenly drawn away by the sounds of battle.


    Legs''s eyes became sharp again. "There''s still a battle to fight".

 Chapter 302 Blades Sacrifice

    Jon Stones'' death affected a lot of things.


    BOOM!


    Not even bits of Jon Stones'' blood were left after he self-destructed, every organic element about this powerful Pugilist died. Everything was ground to dust by the rampaging explosion, returning them to their basest elements.


    It was in these remnant elements that de benefited.


    Jon Stones''st ability before he died was a great sacrifice on his part, all his life experiences, battle experiences, and all his umtions flowed to de.


    Having been embroiled in the battle alongside his mentor, de already entered a special state of mind that prepped him for this inheritance.


    Instantly after the umtions entered his mind, de felt like an entirely new personality and existence was integrated into his being.


    Bzzz!


    His consciousness was affected as his vision shed and changed.


    de''s consciousness woke up inside an unfamiliar body, Jon Stones'' body when he was still a teenager and a Grade F Pugilist.


    This was a memory from centuries ago when Jon Stones fought his rival for the first time, then, Newton was widely recognized as the only genius. This memory was originally hidden at the depths of Jon Stones'' mind.


    In the setting, the Elementalist was too talented, Newton was too good.


    Despite trying his best, Jon Stones was defeated by the maverick. Not only was he defeated, he was thrashed and absolutely humiliated by Newton.


    Even in defeat though, Jon Stones did not admit defeat.


    Propping himself from the ground, he wiped off his blood and red at Newton. "I''ll never admit defeat to you!"


    "One day, I''ll fight you and I''ll beat you".


    "I''ll smack the heck out of you, believe it!"


    He grinned amid his pains. "I''m not like the others, I''m better!"


    "I''ll keep on training till I exceed you!"


    "I''ll keep on challenging you to battles till I win!"


    "Hehe¡­, I''ll haunt you like a ghost till I be better than you!"


    That day, Jon Stones'' obsession to be the best was born.


    Like he promised, he trained like a maniac, giving in 10 times more effort than any other teenager of his age. From the runt of the litter, through sheer hard work, he rose from the least and joined the ranks of the elites.


    After multiple battles and victories, he finally gained the chance to battle Newton again. This time, it was less humiliating but he still lost.


    Even in defeat, Jon Stones did not feel bad, he still grinned.


    "Hehe¡­, like I told you, I''ll haunt you till I be better than you".


    "This time, the defeat was not as convincing".


    "Next time may be the time I beat you!" His voice radiated excitement.


    After that day, Jon Stones put in even more effort. de lived through the life of this warrior as he trained like a maniac, he lived through his experiences as he braved the dangerous world outside the shelters.


    Jon Stones trained and tempered himself with these ancient horrors.


    During this time, every time that he returned back to the shelters, he challenged Newton. After 5 more defeats, he finally forced a draw and, on their 9th public battle, Jon Stones finally broke the deadlock and won against the genius.


    This became the tform for Jon Stones'' rise and future fame.


    Breaking one record after the other, defeating one opponent after the other, through sheer hard work and unflinching willpower, Jon Stones was finally able to work himself to the top as the strongest Pugilist alive.


    Through it all, his super way was. "No Retreat!"


    "No Surrender!"


    After living through the life of his mentor, de''s eyes were opened!


    Through his mentor''s life umtions, he got a cheat code. Originally, to get to the peak, every single Grade C Superhuman needed to temper themselves through a thousand different battles to prove their mettle and gather experience.


    de no longer needed to experience all these rigors himself, with Jon Stones having done the dirty work already, de skipped multiple levels ahead.


    de had no more doubts, his epiphanies became clearer to him. He made more profound realizations about the Pugilist ss and his super way on the spot.


    The next moment, he broke his limits repeatedly.


    This was unprecedented, it was like for a moment, de became a level up machine that simply had no limits!


    When his raging energy finally died down, de already became a Pugilist at Jon Stones'' level. Paired with his talents, he exceeded his mentor.


    "Mentor¡­, your legacy shall live on".


    His eyes gleamed. "Special Talent: Demi-Singrity!"


    "Forbidden Pugilist Ability: 3rd Ultimate Form!"


    de exploded with power!


    "For my mentor!" He punched as a sonic boom was induced.


    BOOM!


    de did not hold back. With his newfound powers, he fully embodied the super way of his mentor that he already inherited as he bombarded Giant Norman with the incredible power that his body could now harness.


    The power disyed by him at this moment already far exceeded the Grade C realm, only a tiny bit demarcated it from Grade B power.


    Jon Stones'' sudden death was shocking, but de''s rise stole the show as morale that was already dying before rose high again.<novelnext></novelnext>


    With de at the lead, all the Grade C Superhumans fought with more vigor.


    Despite de''s current power, despite how much he managed to injure Giant Norman, in the end, he was still the weaker one. For every injury that Giant Norman suffered, he suffered 5 more.


    Bam!


    de was mmed into the ground but he grinned in reply.


    "Pugilists never give up!"


    He pounced back at Giant Norman with gusto.


    At this point, Alexander was already shocked beyond measure. He originally thought that the execution of his n would be easygoing and smooth, he never expected Jon Stones and de to enter their freak state.


    The 2 Pugilists were the sole reason for the dy.


    Despite feeling annoyed, he became wary after witnessing such power as he finally started using his brain more in a bid to take down de.


    Alexander''s means proved superior in the end,bined attacks from the Draconic Praying Mantis and the Draconic Crocodile imed another life.


    The Grade C death count increased to a ridiculous 24!


    After anotherbo, de was mmed into the earth again.


    Bam!


    "Ugh¡­!" This Pugilist coughed blood as pain flooded his brain cells, his body felt like it was stuck inside a burning furnace, it felt agonizing.


    Giant Norman pinned him to the ground with his gigantic right arm.


    With the Pugilist pinned down, Alexander spoke to him.


    "de, you''re talented, surrender and survive".


    "What''s the use of fighting for a lost cause when you have the potential for more? Darvis does not deserve your loyalty, you deserve more".


    "Newton already recognized the inevitable and escaped from the battlefield, don''t be a fool, use your brain to avoid facing the same oue as your mentor".


    On top the pool of blood, de only grinned in reply.


    "That''s your problem¡­, you think you can control everyone".


    "My master may have died but I can tell you this, he didn''t die sad".


    "He died happy!"


    "He died for what he loved and believed in!"


    "We''re Pugilists, we don''t follow trends, wo follow our instincts rather than our brain and my instincts urges me to keep on challenging myself and fighting you to save my".


    "Your instinct is foolish!"


    "So be it". de calmly replied.


    "You¡­!" Alexander red at him while lost for words.


    "You really want to die?"


    de grinned. "No Retreat!"


    "No Surrender!"


    Alexander grimaced. After witnessing the incredible talent disyed by this Pugilist and what happened after Jon Stones died, this Shadow Elementalist was extremely unwilling to see him die such a meaningless death.


    He rather wanted him to be his subordinate, too bad that de was too passionate to give a damn about using his brain appropriately.


    "Are you a masochist? Why are you doing this?" He asked in frustration.


    "Because I trust my master". de finally gave a slightly sensible answer.


    "I don''t know why he left but my master never desert battles, he vowed to bring an end to the Clown Society and I believe he''ll fulfill it".


    "If there''s anyone that will kill you and your test subjects, it''s him".


    "All I did was buying time for him".


    "I just hope it was enough". de grinned again as he coughed blood.


    "¡­" Alexander silently stared at this crazy Pugilist.


    He shook his head. "If you wish to die so much, so be it".


    "Do it!"


    Giant Norman acknowledged the orders as his eyes glowed powerfully. de could only groan as the Giant''s right hand applied pressure to his small vulnerable body, he could not withstand it, his body exploded the next moment.


    Boom!


    Like his mentor, de made the decision bravely.


    He faced death without flinching for his humanity, for his master, for his dead family and tribe, and for Darvis.


    Today, de died.

 Chapter 303 Battle Against The Undying Cockroach; The Might Of Cutting-Edge Technology! [1]

    "Soul Form Necromancy Ability: Shriek of the Wailing Souls!"


    "Ultimate Support Ability: Ultimate Adrenaline!"


    "Frost Giant Bloodline Ability: Partial Gene Liberation!"


    "Nagakin Specialty: Frost Axe!"


    "Nagakin Specialty: 40 Years Axe Form- Freezing Hack!"


    BOOM!


    Daemon''s Shriek of the Wailing Souls reverberated eerily like the cries of suffering souls from hell as the Undying Cockroach briefly jerked.


    The slight dy from the Cockroach''s jerking gave King Nagakin another opening to attack. Nagakin licked the blood close to his lips excitedly as he smelled blood, even as he attacked, Eleanor also augmented him.


    After Jon Stones'' death, this warriordy already lost it.


    Motivated by her extreme emotions after her man''s death, her Ultimate Adrenaline managed to induce more potential from the Frost Giant''s body.


    With so much power already flowing through his body, King Nagakin augmented it even further by activating his Partial Gene Liberation bloodline ability. After that, he activated his Frost Axe ability as his Axe became coated in ice.


    After all these, he finally made use of one of his most powerful abilities.


    40 Years Axe Form- Freezing Hack, this was an ability that King Nagakin developed after meditating in the Ice elemental ne for 40 years.


    It was more or less a culmination of all his insights on the Ice element and his Axe discipline. This attack was not just about him, it was about all 4 of them, it represented their desperation in the face of death and their defiant spirit.


    Despite trying their best, they stood no chance before the Undying Cockroach. This Bio-Mechanic Monstrosity was too strong for them.


    After Eleanor''s outburst, they were forced to adjust to her tempo and they suffered. shing with the Undying Cockroach head-on drained them.


    All 3 of them including Christensen were already seriously injured.


    Thisbination attack was theirst desperate attempt at damaging this freaking Cockroach that never seemed to get injured from their attacks.


    When the attack finally hit, it exploded powerfully with a lot of force.


    Despite all the force, once again, the Undying Cockroach defied expectations as it''s extremely thick exoskeleton withstood the damage. The Cockroach''s exoskeleton was like a sponge as it soaked and absorbed all the damage.


    King Nagakin gave in to despair as he saw the Cockroach soak in his damage as effortlessly as a glutton finishing a bowl of rice.


    The next moment, with flickering calcting eyes, the Cockroach counterattacked as it channeled its energies.


    It''s crooked and mechanical voice reverberated.


    "Channeling psionic energy¡­"


    "Channeling super energy¡­"


    "Double Energy Attack: Gravity Breath!"


    Once again, they were forced on the defensive.


    Having withstood so much damage already, they were already at their wit''s end. This time, the attack mmed against their defenses and tore them apart with impunity as the Undying Cockroach dealt incredible damage to all 4 of them.


    "Ugh¡­!"


    Stuck in the middle of the formation, Christensen coughed blood as horror filled his eyes. One step at a time, the Cockroach moved towards them.


    Thud! Thud!


    Each thudding sound left Christensen''s heart pounding hard, it was that feeling like the countdown to death, it was terrifying.


    Thud!


    "¡­!" Christensen was dying from the tension of death; he didn''t want to die.


    "Frigga¡­, I need your help now!" Christensenmunicated desperately through his telepathic connection but he was to be disappointed.


    "I''m too weak to fight it".


    "Can''t you recover your power now? I thought beasts grow stronger through pressure and danger, I''m in danger now!"


    "Sigh¡­, it''s not so straightforward".


    In essence, Christensen could not rely on his Snow Fenrir.


    Thud!


    Christensen closed his eyes before finally opening them in resignation as he looked at death in the eyes, the mechanical eyes of the Cockroach stared them down. The Cockroach was more focused on Daemon.


    The next moment, it channeled its energies again as it opened its mouth.


    Hum!


    As its powers rumbled loudly, this was when he came.


    Bzzz!


    Legs appeared with an adorable baby clinging to his neck.


    Uranus'' eyes crinkled in curiosity as he was exposed to the outside world for the first time in centuries. Seeing the blue skies, feeling the fresh air, feeling vitality itself in the air, this Titan baby was fascinated by the world.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Babuwah¡­, woah!" Uranus eximed cutely as he saw the gigantic Cockroach and also felt it''s gradually rumbling energy.


    He pointed at it and looked at Legs. "Dada¡­!"


    Legs'' eyes narrowed on seeing the Cockroach even as he felt relieved that none of his allies were dead yet, he was pleasantly surprised on seeing King Nagakin though. When Uranus looked at him, he smiled at the cute tiny baby.


    "Uranus¡­, daddy wants to go to war".


    "Can you be a good boy and sit here to watch quietly?"


    "Babu¡­?" Uranus seemed confused but he babbled in consent nheless.


    Legs felt contented, he didn''t know if this was how every baby was since he wasn''t exactly the baby guy but since bing exposed to Uranus, he felt a sense of contentment and happiness unlike he had ever felt before.


    Also, Uranus was stronger and more intelligent than any other baby that he knew despite being just a day old, the baby could already sit upright!


    Carefully, Legs ced Uranus on the ground before looking ahead.


    By now, the Undying Cockroach''s mouth were already widened to the limits as it got prepared to unleash another Gravity disaster but not this time, this was when Legs finally essed his storage ring.


    ''Bring it on baby!''


    Bzzz!


    Instantly, the gigantic Rifle appeared on his hands.


    Compared to conventional Rifles, the Cutting-Edge technology Positron Rifle was much bigger and more dangerous looking.


    Once he got his hands on this weapon of mass destruction, Legs felt like he held the fate of the universe in his hands.


    Holding the Positron Rifle, Legs felt like channeling the inner viin in him.


    ''I have all the power in the world!''

    Hum!


    The Positron Rifle charged its energy for 10 seconds then it went loose!


    BOOM!


    From its muzzle, a concentrated beam of atomic particles was unleashed!


    Instantly after the Undying Cockroach was hit, it became paralyzed, all it''s processes to activate it''s Gravity Breath onest time instantly froze.


    Not only that, the concentrated beam of atomic particles unleashed only one beam but the damage was continuous. For 6 consecutive times, this Undying Cockroach jerked as its body bled green blood as it received damage.


    Its atomic and molecr structure waspletely disrupted.


    For the first time, this Undying Cockroach copsed to the ground!


    For the first time, this Bio-Mechanic Monstrosity was seriously injured!


    "HISS¡­!" It made a deep hissing sound in pain.


    The only reason why despite all the atomic disruptions that affected the cells and the incredible damage it still survived was because of its crazy vitality. It was not called the Undying Cockroach for fancy; this monster''s vitality was crazy!


    It turned its head as it hissed aggressively at Legs.


    Legs was not intimidated though, he onlyughed.


    "Have a taste of your own medicine b*tch!"

    ----


    If the Particle Beam Bombardment was mming a gigantic opponent with a lethal nuclear bomb, the Transcendent Punisher weapon ability was shooting an opponent with a machine gun wielding power of nuclear proportions!


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The sound of the Rifle unleashing shots reverberated like thunder.


    The cacophony of death that followed was grating to the ears, King Nagakin and the others felt goosebumps as they saw death unleashed before their eyes.


    The Transcendent Punisher seemed to push the Positron Rifle to it''s attack speed limits, every second, more than 10 shots were unleashed!


    Each of these 10 shots that were unleashed every second harnessed a ridiculous amount of power!


    The visual effects and sounds as the white positron beams with concentrated atomic particles moved through the air scrambled the sensors of the Cockroach''s A.I. In a few seconds, the Undying Cockroach was terribly injured.


    In just a few seconds, this Cockroach was close to death!


    In just a few seconds, this Bio-Mechanic Horror that had been haunting King Nagakin and the others was reduced to a normal beast!


    In just a few seconds, this Bio-Mechanic Monstrosity received damage that was far more than anything else that it had received since it started fighting today.


    The power of the Positron Rifle was so ridiculous and otherworldly!


    The mechanical eyes of the Undying Cockroach flickered.


    "Unidentified Weapon detected¡­!"


    "Warning! Attack power exceeds normal tolerance limits¡­!"


    "Warning! Attack speed exceeds calctions limits¡­!"


    "Warning! Weapon exceeding the parameters possible for anything created in Darvis has been detected¡­, initiating countermeasures¡­"


    "Hyper-charging psionic energy¡­"


    "Hyper-charging super energy¡­"


    "Drawing on core energy reserves¡­"


    "Entering Undying mode¡­!"


    "Supreme Talent: Physique of the Undying Cockroach!"


    Bzzz!


    The Undying Cockroach suddenly changed qualitatively.


    The next moment, the psionic, super, and pure core energy that was stored in the body of this gigantic Cockroach exploded powerfully.


    When everything died down, the body of the gigantic Cockroach became engulfed in a blue powerful aura that seemed like a shield generated by a mechanical shield generator. Not just that, all the Cockroach''s injuries were healed.


    When Legs first discovered that Clown''s test subject was called the Undying Cockroach, he had his doubts but he never expected it to be this OP.


    What the Undying Cockroach just didpletely defied thews of nature!


    This ability literally made it really undying!


    Despite the recovery abilities of this Cockroach though, without the ability to attack effectively from a distance under the bombardment of the Psionic Rifle, its situation was still as awful as before.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The positron beams from the Transcendent Punisher ability were still unleashed at a worrying rate as more injuries tore through this monster.


    The next moment, the Undying Cockroach moved.


    Facing this new threat that threatened its existence, the A.I finally changed its approach from mindlessly going after Daemon to putting it''s all to eliminating this danger. It was not as easy to kill as before though for this beast.


    Despite the lethal shots, despite the terrible injuries that were consistently inflicted on it, the Undying Cockroach stood its ground and forged forward.


    At this moment, it was like time suddenly became still.


    Petrified in shock at everything that was happening, King Nagakin, Daemon, Eleanor, and Christensen watched as Legs staged against the horrifying Undying Cockroach in a 1 vs 1 all due to the power of one single Rifle.


    ''What weapon is that?!'' They asked in shock.


    ''How can it be so strong?!''


    ''Is this even possible?!''


    ''Are we hallucinating?!''


    Their soliloquies didn''t matter to the 2 battling opponents though as they stayed focused on their battle. Legs''s eyes narrowed more even as the Positron Rifle kept on dealing lethal damage while the Cockroach braved through it all.


    He was amazed. ''This Cockroach''s vitality is¡­ insane!''


    He was shocked by what he saw, despite this, this did not make him feel weak or distracted the slightest as he kept the pressure on the trigger.


    As the Cockroach closed the distance, he changed his approach.

    Like the first time, the high energy beam was extremely lethal as the Crocodile suffered another terrible injury but, on the spot, this monstrosity recovered it all at a ridiculous speed.


    The Undying Cockroach was already closing the distance to dangerous territory, territory where it could leverage its gigantism to deal lethal physical attacks at the human and his terrible weapon.


    "Bubuwa¡­!" Uranus babbled as this young Titan felt fear.


    The energy and aura of the Undying Cockroach was fearsome.<novelnext></novelnext>


    The animosity between his papa and the Cockroach did not also escape his senses, this young Titan felt the tension as he was pushed to the verge of crying.


    Noticing this, Legs finally exploded.


    "How dare you make him cry?!"


    With one kick of his sturdy legs, he leaped into the skies and unleashed another lethal shot before essing his storage ring again.


    Legs stored the Positron Rifle and brought out the other weapon made with Cutting-Edge technology.


    Shing!


    Legs unsheathed the Lightsaber as itsser de gleamed under the sun.


    -----


    You have activated Weapon Ability: Defense Negation!


    Opponent''s defense has been negated by 90%!


    ¡­


    You have activated Weapon Ability: Annihtion de- Sharpness!


    Additional +200% damage for every consequent attack triggered!


    ----


    Above the gigantic Undying Cockroach in the skies, the Lightsaber radiated energy and danger even as the Cockroach''s danger instincts tingled.


    Its mechanical eyes widened as they flickered and rapidly calcted in a panic.


    "Warning! Uncalcted maneuver taken by opponent¡­!"


    "Unidentified New Weapon detected¡­!"


    "Warning! Attack power exceeds normal tolerance limits¡­!"


    "Warning! Countermeasures needed¡­!"


    "Warning! Countermeasures needed¡­!"


    "Erecting Combined energy shield¡­!"


    The Cockroach barely finished speaking when the edge of the Lightsaber finally shed with it''s sturdy exoskeleton that seemed impervious to damage.


    It''sbined energy shield barely held when 90% of it''s integrity was already negated, the Lightsaber prated all the way through!


    BOOM!


    After the loud booming sound of collision, the next sound that followed was that of sizzling flesh as the Cockroach''s exoskeleton and flesh was cut apart. The efficiency was mad, it was just like a hot knife slicing through cake!


    -----


    Critical Hit!


    You have dealt Crippling damage to the Undying Cockroach!


    Due to critical hit, you have triggered Annihtion Effect!


    >Annihtion Effect: When triggered, pure Annihtion energy ravages through the internals of the enemy for 10 seconds. For the 10 seconds, every second, the energy deals 5% damage of total critical hit damage<


    ----


    "Hiss¡­!" The Undying Cockroach''s hissing was weak this time.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Legs did not relent, for the 10 seconds as the Annihtion effect affected the Cockroach, he pushed himself to the limits as he bombarded the Undying Cockroach with crazy Lightsaber attacks.


    It was the virtual interface notification that made him pause.


    -----


    Congrattions! You have killed a Pseudo-Grade B Bio-Mechanic Monstrosity- Undying Cockroach!


    You have gained 2,000,000 Experience Points!

    ----


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    Legs gawked at the virtual interface notification.


    King Nagakin, Daemon, Eleanor, and Christensen gawked in pure horror and shock at the unmoving and battered corpse of the Undying Cockroach.


    "What¡­ just¡­ f*cking¡­ happened?!!!"


    "Bblu¡­!" Uranus cheered.

 Chapter 305 The Plan

    "What a pity¡­"


    Alexander muttered as he looked at the bloody mush that was left behind.


    Not even de''s flesh was spared, apart from his blood that now dyed everywhere with bits of the once glorious state of its owner, nothing else remained. The powerful Pugilist that disturbed Alexander was dead.


    Alexander still felt regretful though. "Truly a pity¡­"


    "If he agreed to stay under me, perhaps he would have be the first human to exceed the Grade C realm and be a Grade B Superhuman".


    After sparing hisst nce for the remains of the once glorious Pugilist, Alexander''s eyes became sharp as he looked at the remaining powerhouses.


    For a long time, the oue of this sh was already set in stone. Jon Stones and de were the only ones who foolishly held the belief that they could win.


    Once these 2 powerhouses were out of the way, Alexander gained more confidence and initiative to push back and hard at the surviving Grade C Superhumans.


    His eyes red and mostly focused on Newton.


    This warrior''s voice reverberated confidently. "It is over".


    "All your Champions are dead".


    "Jon Stones is dead¡­, de is dead".


    "Surrender and Survive".


    "Resist and die!"


    This time, Alexander said it in a tone of finality, making it apparent that he was no longer in the mood to haggle words with the survivors.


    With troublesome opponents like de and Jon Stones gone, and with Newton already giving up, everything became easier and more straightforward for Alexander. He recognized that he was now firmly holding the initiative.


    "Surrender¡­ now!"


    "¡­"


    His forceful voice pushed all the Superhumans into silence.


    Of the survivors, some of them had neutral expressions on their faces while the others could not hold in their feelings as they clenched their fists and red at Alexander who coolly returned the gaze.


    "¡­"


    For a few minutes, total silence reigned in this battlefield.


    This continued until Alexander lost his patience.


    "Now!"


    Thud!


    Another Grade C Superhuman finally dropped to his knees, they were already buckling under the pressure from this enemy.


    Thud! Thud!


    The sounds of more knees reverberated in quick session as they dropped to the ground. Not all of them surrendered though, some remained stubborn.


    "We may have lost, but I will never give up".


    "I will never be a part of the plot to sell my into very".


    "I will never give in!"


    "You may have won this battle, but the war is just beginning!"


    Bzzz!


    One of the Grade C Superhumans teleported away after giving his little speech, among the others that remained was Newton.


    This warrior had a neutral look on his face as he looked.


    This warrior shook his head. "I can''t surrender¡­"


    "I''ll rather live as an outcast and a vagabond".


    "¡­"


    Despite already expecting it, Alexander still felt disappointed as he looked at this warrior. "So be it¡­"


    ¡­


    -----


    Congrattions! You have been rewarded with the Supreme Talent: Physique of the Undying Cockroach!


    >Physique of the Undying Cockroach: You have gained the talent to turn Vitality into extra Health Points with a conversion ratio of 1 to 20. You have gained elerated cell regeneration 50% faster than before<


    [Congrattions! You have gained +110,000 Health Points!]


    ----


    "S-Supreme talent?!" Legs'' eyes widened in shock.


    After normal talents developed by genius warriors after years of training and honing their skills, there was the Special Talents that could only be awakened and mastered by once in centuries'' geniuses like de and Christensen.


    Legs literally took both Christensen and de in for their Special Talents.


    Special Talents embodied the trump cards of most warriors, few Superhumans could awaken them, but they were not the highest level of talents.


    After the Special Talent, Legs knew that there was another level of talent called Supreme Talents. These were talents that could only be awakened by supers who had the potentials of attaining the Grade S realm.


    Legs never expected the Undying Cockroach to possess one.


    ''No wonder it was so hard to kill''.


    ''It''s actually the strongest of the 3 Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities!''


    ''No wonder it''s called the Undying Cockroach''.


    Legs'' shock and ecstasy knew no end, getting a Supreme Talent was so far out of his short-term goals that he was overwhelmed by the sudden surprise.


    ''I definitely didn''t expect this''.


    His eyes shone in excitement. "Let me finally check my status".

    ----


    "Y-you killed it?"


    Legs turned to face the female warrior. "Yes".


    "That weapon, what is it made off?" Daemon asked in a serious tone.


    "Cutting-Edge Technology". Legs replied with a straight face.


    Daemon''s lips twitched. ''What the f*ck is Cutting-Edge technology?''


    He fought the urge to say this out loud. "Can it kill Giant Norman?"


    "It''s hard to say when I''ve not tried it but I have a n". Legs said confidently as his eyes gleamed sharply.


    After getting his hands on both the Lightsaber and the Positron Rifle, Legs finally regained his confidence. He no longer felt like the inconsequential Grade C Superhuman that could not influence the big picture.


    With these 2 Cutting-Edge technology weapons, he now had the power.


    "¡­"


    They all held their breaths as soon as Legs spoke.


    "You have a n?" Eleanor asked as her hopes rose.


    As for Christensen, his mood remained down, he looked at his master. "Master, I lost connection to de a few minutes ago".


    "I think¡­" Christensen did notplete it, the air turned grave.


    Legs turned to look at his student with a serious look on his face. "Leave it to me".


    He turned to look at Daemon. "Have you fully digested your inheritance?"


    "What?!" Daemon was shocked. "How do you know I have an inheritance?"


    "How I know doesn''t matter, have you mastered Reanimation?"


    "¡­!" Daemon froze in shock.


    "Y-you¡­! How do you know?!" He was horrified.


    "It doesn''t matter!" Legs stressed. "Have you learned it?"


    While he said this outwardly, in his mind, he said something else. ''Why can''t I know when I was the one who pushed for there to be a Necromancer variant to the Summoner ss. When I''m involved, things can''t stay boring".


    Daemon calmed down. "I''ve not fully mastered it yet but¡­"


    "Even if it''s still on trials, can you make use of it?"


    Daemon felt challenged by the questions. "Yes, I can use it".


    "Good". Legs nodded. "You''ll be an essential part of my ns".


    His expression turned serious the next moment, he looked at Christensen. "Pay attention, this may probably be the greatest lesson that you''ll learn from me".


    "I never joked when I said we Summoners strive by using our brains".


    He turned his serious gaze to the others. "Listen to me carefully".


    "This is my n¡­"

 Chapter 306 Ancient Necromancy Ritual; Reanimation!

    By now, the oue of the battle was already set in stone.


    At this moment, as Giant Norman towered above the surviving Grade C Superhumans of Darvis and as Alexander hovered above them, there was a sense that the future of the would be decided here.


    "Surrender¡­ now!"


    Feeling Alexander''s gaze, Newton looked back at him.


    Newton had a neutral look on his face as he looked, then he shook his head. "I can''t surrender¡­"


    "I''ll rather live as an outcast and a vagabond".


    Newton''s words seemed to set the atmosphere into a frenzy.


    Gunpowder seemed to explode in the air on invisible impact as Alexander''s eyes turned sharper even as a sense of oppression descended.


    The tense atmosphere turned even tenser, all the other Grade C Superhumans that were yet to make their choices became more alert.


    Despite already expecting it, Alexander still felt disappointed as he looked at this warrior. He clicked his tongue in slight regret, then he finally spoke.


    "So be it¡­"


    He turned to look at Giant Norman. "Do it!"


    As soon as he received the new orders, Norman''s mechanical eyes flickered but it was not as smooth as before, his eyes revealed some emotion this time.


    Despite being trapped inside his own body, despite being dominated by the growing influence of the A.I, Norman was still conscious inside his body and saw everything as his Master fought on his behalf to save him.


    He saw as Grade C Superhuman after Grade C Superhuman died.


    He saw as Jon Stones died due to his foolish mistakes.


    He saw as de bravely faced death without blinking.


    This warrior felt guilt unlike he had ever felt all his life. Despite this not being the right time, it was at this moment that Norman rediscovered his sense of humanity, he acknowledged all his mistakes and sought redemption.


    The only question was. ''Can I still be redeemed?''


    The answer seemed to be no as he received his new orders.


    Now that he was ordered to kill his own master, this warrior became emotional. The strong burst from the emotion gave him more fighting intent, he did not want to let hisst moments being him killing his own master.


    He briefly wrestled with the A.I for control.


    Unfortunately, he was dominated, he was suppressed again.


    Hum!


    Giant Norman channeled his psionic energy as he raised his left hand, pointing the muzzle of a Sniper Rifle at his own master.


    At this moment, the atmosphere turned even chiller.


    The oue of today was already taking a dark turn.


    This was the defining moment.


    Despite not moving, Newton''s aura and energy slowly turned turbulent as this warrior got prepared to leave. His intention was to escape, but his attachment to his student prevented him from decisively leaving.


    In this tense moment, unknowing to them, other spectators watched.


    High up in the skies above the clouds, a certain Bone Dragon floated with 5 prominent individuals riding it. From atop the Bone Dragon, Legs kept his aim true as he kept it on Giant Norman''s skull.


    Eleanor sat cross-legged in meditation as she ced both her hands on his back through which augmentation energy flowed into his body.


    -----


    You have been augmented by your ally!


    You have been affected by the Support Ability: Eagle Instincts!


    You have been affected by the Support Ability: True Sight!


    You have been affected by the Support Ability: Wind Affinity!


    You have been affected by the Support Ability: Ultimate Adrenaline!


    ----


    Sweat trickled down Legs''s forehead as he stayed concentrated.


    ''Hold¡­!"


    He patiently waited for the perfect shot angle to open up.


    From this distance, it was no longer just a simple task of pulling the trigger. He had to calcte the distance, the wind velocity, and the action of gravity which would all determine the uracy and lethality of his attack.


    With Eleanor''s augmentation, everything became easier for him but it was stillplex enough to keep him sweating. Daemon, Christensen, Altan, Eleanor, and the Bone Dragon were as quiet as mutes as they waited for the moment.


    Theplexity of this moment induced more adrenaline in Legs.


    ''Hold¡­!''


    ''Hold¡­!''


    Below in the ruins of the Hellfire Mountains, Giant Norman took another step, exposing this Giant''s tasty skull to the muzzle of the Positron Rifle.


    ''Release¡­!'' Legs pulled the trigger!


    Craxes felt the threat from the skies first, but even with his keen senses, the mighty Red Dragon only felt it when the threat was already unleashed.


    -----


    You have activated Weapon Ability: Atomic Rage!


    Atomic Disintegration Atomic Effect triggered!


    Bolvos Rage Atomic Effect triggered!


    ----<novelnext></novelnext>


    Whoo¡­!


    The sound of the st rushing through the air was like thunder!


    Giant Norman took another step before he paused as he finally felt the danger. Looking up, this Giant''s eyes widened, all that he saw was a concentrated st of rainbow-colored energy rushing towards his head at a crazy speed.


    One moment, Norman looked, the next, it hit.


    He had no chance to even blink.


    BOOMMMMM!!!


    Alexander turned intangible just before the st hit, this was the only thing that saved this warrior from evaporating into ashes from the extreme heat and radiation. Newton teleported away just before it also hit.


    Only Giant Norman was caught up in the center of this st.


    Crack!


    Giant Norman''s skull burst on impact!


    The power of the Atomic Rage was indomitable!


    Like a hot knife boring into the sweet defense of a cake, the massive st tore Giant Norman''s head apart!


    It did not stop at that, the Atomic Rage shot st went all the way through as it sted right through Norman''s gigantic body until it hit the ground!


    The st went even further, prating into the crust!


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    In one attack, Giant Norman was divided in twain!


    -----


    Critical hit!


    You have wiped off 70% of Giant Norman''s Health Points!


    ----


    The incredible fact was that despite the horrifying amount of damage that was dealt, Giant Norman did not die immediately. The Positron Rifle was only able to wipe off 70% of his health points, leaving only a few health points.


    Giant Norman was immediately left in a critical state.


    The Stealth A.I reacted instantly.


    "Unidentified Weapon detected¡­!"


    "Host body extremely damaged¡­!"


    "Implementing Countermeasures¡­!"


    "Triggeringst-measure Preservation mechanism¡­!"


    "Supreme Talent: Physique of the Undying Cockroach¡­!


    Instantly, the dead cells of this Bio-Mechanic Monstrosity sizzled as they started regenerating on the spot. From the onset, Legs already guessed to meet resistance, this was the reason for his masterpiece n.


    "He didn''t die despite this amount of power?!" Daemon was horrified.


    "Trigger n B!" Legs literally roared it.


    Eleanor responded instantaneously as she tore the fabric of space open.


    Bzzz!


    The Bone Dragon and all its inhabitants dove into it.


    While Giant Norman was still in the process of recovering from his exertions, the Bone Dragon arrived. Daemon in his Soul Form rapidly floated forward to where the remains of Jon Stonesy on the ground.


    While Daemon did this, Legs sent Bran into the skies. The Void Raven only needed to use his Special Abilities once to see it.


    ----


    You have activated active ability: Summoner Energy Maniption


    You have triggered teleportation!


    ----


    Legs teleported directly beside the Nine-Lives Cat, the cat was stunned. Legs grabbed the Cat and red into its eyes.


    "Revive my student!"


    While he made this ridiculous demand, Daemon already went to work.


    This Necromancer chanted in Ancient Darvis.


    "Dio de morte¡­"


    "Inviato degli inferi¡­"


    "Con mia autorita di Signore delle Anime, chiedo il rscio temporaneo di un''Anima!"


    "Esigo l''anima di Jon Stones!"


    The skies instantly turned dark and ominous as the Underworld seemed to ovep with reality all of a sudden, Daemon did the final ritual.


    "Primordial Necromancy Ability: Reanimation!"


    BZZZ!


    A mighty power erupted from the Underworld!


    Alexander''s eyes widened. "What¡­?!!!"

 Chapter 307 Legolas Masterpiece; The Unrivalled Battle Controller!

    "Dio de morte¡­"


    Daemon''s voice became deep and ancient, his voice called upon the oldest and most ancient powers of death as the atmosphere turned sinister.


    "Inviato degli inferi¡­"


    Alexander felt goosebumps as a strange feeling of fear gripped him.


    "Con mia autorita di Signore delle Anime, chiedo il rscio temporaneo di un''Anima!"


    All the Grade C Superhumans shuddered as the feeling of death intensified.


    "Esigo l''anima di Jon Stones!"


    The skies instantly turned dark and ominous as the Underworld seemed to ovep with reality all of a sudden, Daemon finally did the final ritual.


    "Primordial Necromancy Ability: Reanimation!"


    BZZZ!


    A mighty, sinister, and ancient power erupted from the Underworld!


    Alexander''s eyes widened. "What¡­?!!!"


    Daemon''s soul shook as the exertions of what he just did hit him. What he did was dangerous, trying to resummon the soul of a being that was stronger than him was dangerous but due to his love for his old friend, Daemon brute-forced through it all.


    Alexander''s eyes widened to the size of saucers as he looked at the familiar figure whose body was pieced together particle by particle before his eyes.


    Bzzz!


    The explosion of power after the fusion confirmed it, this was Jon Stones!


    This was not the regr Jon Stones though. This time, Jon Stones was dead for real, what appeared was rather a reanimated version of this Pugilist.


    With a much darker aura filled with death energy, this seemed like a dark version of Jon Stones. This Pugilist''s bald shiny head now had wisps of dark underworld energy flowing through them, his eyes were an ominous ck.


    The most crazy thing about reanimation was that what inhabited this reanimated body was the real soul¡­, Jon Stones was fascinated.


    He looked down at his hands in shock. "What¡­, sorcery is this?!"


    "Hahaha¡­, I did it!" Daemon cackled the next moment.


    "I f*cking did it!"


    He red at Jon Stones. "This is the power of reincarnation!"


    "This is the real power of Necromancers!"


    "Hahaha¡­!"


    "¡­" All the spectators today felt goosebumps as fear gripped them, Alexander was not exempt from it.


    Having witnessed this powerful Pugilist die before them, the simple prospect of seeing him alive again jumping and strong was so ridiculous that the next thing that entered their mind was that Jon Stones became a God!


    Only Gods were immortal!


    "Hey! What did you do to me?" Jon Stones looked at the culprit.


    Daemon responded enthusiastically. "Through the powers of necromancy, I was able to briefly summon back your soul while creating apatible body for you to inhabit for the time that your soul stays".


    "In the reanimated state, only your soul is vulnerable".


    "Your body has the ability to regenerate infinitely".


    "You have ess to all your powers".


    "You can¡­"


    The more the Necromancer spoke, the more the temperature in the air kept on dropping as Alexander was already standing on prickly ice.


    While Jon Stones'' reanimation shocked, horrified, and fascinated the spectators, including Jon Stones himself, 2 certain Summoners were up to something. Christensennded some distance from his master.


    This Summoner closed his eyes and focused.


    "Special Summoner Ability: Beast ne Summoning!"


    "Frigga-Chris Beast Combo: Beast Imprint!"


    "Christensen Specialty: Beast Army Mobilization!"


    Bzzz!


    Even as the rainbow bridge opened, attracting the attention of some of the spectating Grade C Superhumans, Legs continued focusing on his task.


    Legs red at the tiny cat. "Revive my student!"


    "Revive de!" He stressed.


    While he stressed this, Legs briefly had a shback.


    2068, a few weeks before the officialunch of Dominator¡­


    Director Maniad, the official owner of the viral VR game held a meeting with all his producers. Seated in the round table, this charismatic developer first congratted all his workers for their work before bringing up random topics.


    After 2 hours, the meeting was about toe to an end but this was when he stood up to speak, Jake, Legs''s core co-developer of the Summoner ss.


    "Director, I have a request".


    "Jake, speak".


    "Legs did most of the creativity and work with the Summoner ss, it feels like I barely contributed to fleshing out this main ss. After a lot of thought, I decided that I want something to leave my imprint in the game".


    Director Maniad''s attention was drawn as he looked at him curiously.


    "I created an additional beast; I call it the Nine-Lives Cat".


    "A Nine-Lives Cat? I think I''ve heard about that on some mythology, what does it do?"


    Jake did not answer that first.


    "I created it as an extremely rare and iconic beast. At first, it looks like a normal cat with no powers but to those lucky yers who bond with it, they will gain the ability to ess all 9 lives of the cat".


    "In essence, you mean?"


    "Yes, they''ll gain the ability to cheat death".


    "They''ll be able to revive after some logical sacrifices".


    This shback only took a single second.


    Legs kept his gaze on the Nine-Lives Cat. "I know how you work".


    ''My partner f*cking created you so why won''t I know, or do you think I''ll let a random cat bond with my valuable student?''


    Legs red at it. "I know that you can sacrifice one of your lives to revive my student, what the heck are you waiting for? Do it now!"


    For months since getting the Nine-Lives Cat, this beast had pretended even to it''s master that it could not speak. But now, perhaps due to the shock of being discovered, this cat spoke for the first time.


    The cat looked at the human. "It''s not so simple".


    "His soul has to stabilize for months in the Underworld before I can attempt normal revival, that was what I intend to do".


    "The prize for instant revival is much steeper".


    "I''ll have to sacrifice 2 lives to revive him!"


    "He''s worth it!" Legs dered instantly.


    The cat still wanted to wiggle out of this sudden demand but Legs was too firm, his pressure finally made the cat buckle in resignation.


    Once it was ready, it made use of it.


    "Nine-Lives Ability: The Gate of Life and Death!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    Bzzz!


    ¡­


    de opened his eyes in a strange world, everywhere was green, his perception was blurry and a strange buzzing sound echoed everywhere.


    All around him, he saw other floating ethereal forms like himself in this strange levitating green sea. They were all acted upon by a strange power, they could not resist as they were pulled deeper into the green sea.


    de struggled to look around himself. ''Where am I?''


    ''I think I died¡­, so is this hell?''


    ''No¡­'' His eyes widened in realization. ''Is this the mythical sea after the gate of life and death that leads to the Underworld?''


    ''What happens after death?''


    ''Will I be a ve here? Can''t I rest in peace?''


    ''Damn¡­, will I really be tormented here?!''


    de had so many questions and no answers.


    For what felt like hours, he floated in this sea as the power pulled him in a specific direction. By this point, he was already tired of keeping track of time.


    As he floated with the other souls, something suddenly happened.


    Bzzz!


    From directly behind him, a portal opened through which a white light shone through. He recognized this light; this was the light of life!


    ''Huh¡­?''


    He barely thought of anything before the portal sucked him in.


    Bzzz!


    The portal closed, all the others souls continued their journey peacefully, the green sea remained flowing, it was like nothing happened here.


    ¡­


    BZZZ!


    The Gate of Life and Death was gigantic and full of power!


    The aura that came from the gate already attracted the attention of all the spectators. While they looked, shocked at this phenomenon, they felt a familiar aura the next moment as their eyes widened even more.


    "What¡­?!" At this point, Alexander was already going crazy.


    "Don''t tell me!"


    His opinion was not needed though, he passed through the gate.


    "Hmmm¡­!" de took in a greedy suck of the air and feeling of life.


    On returning back from the journey of death, the first thing that de did was to indulge in the feeling of life again as he savored his breathing.


    He already understood everything. The journey through the gate of life and death may seem like it started and was over in an instant, but de knew that this was not true. He felt like he spent a lifetime traveling through this gate.


    Apart from understanding the true nature of his Cat pet, the journey through the gate also gave de more epiphanies about life and death.


    Heughed the next moment. "Hahaha¡­!"


    "Life¡­, feels good!"


    de let his power loose as his Pugilist Energy erupted like an avnche!


    BOOM!


    If Jon Stones'' reanimation was already shocking enough, add de''s revival into the mix and all the Grade C Superhumans were already questioning their lives.


    They all looked at the culprit of all this with widened eyes.


    Simr questions dominated their minds. ''Who the f*ck are you?''


    ''What the hell are you?''


    ''What type of brain do you have?''


    ''How do you know all these while veterans like us know nothing?!''


    They were going crazy!


    Legs was calm as he took in all their gazes.


    Bzzz!


    As soon as the rainbow bridge fully opened, Frigga jumped through the bridge. This mythical Snow Fenrir was not alone this time though, jumping alongside him were familiar faces to Legs.


    Frigga brought his Yeti Army along.


    The Yeti Elder red at the enemies as he roared loudly.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    By this point, all the Grade C Superhumans with a bit of brain already had a guess at Legs'' n. They were shocked and amazed, the knowledge to know all these, the ingenuity to not only know but piece them all together to form a n.


    They were already horrified by Legs'' masterpiece!


    Legs'' nning horrified these warriors than any brute-force ever could.


    ''How can 1 brain hold so much knowledge?!!!''


    Legs closed his eyes the next moment as he basked on all the extreme emotions that these Grade C Superhumans were exuding towards him.


    He grinned. ''If you think that''s the extent of my ns, you are ying''.


    During the past 6 months of his life, topliment his main ss and his first 2 sub sses, Legs got a 3rd sub ss, the Battle Controller sub ss.


    Apart from the general boosts to general battle insights and techniques, at first, the Battle Controller sub ss didn''t seem to hold any unique advantages.


    This was where everyone else who looked at it this way was wrong.


    Unlike the majority, Legs was a game developer who took part in creating this world, he knew the creator of this sub ss.


    The Battle Controller epassed much more than it showed on the surface, this sub ss was the passion project of its creator, he put so much effort and thought into creating it.


    Maximus created the Battle Controller sub ss.


    The true power of the Battle Controller sub ss could only be harnessed when the stakes were highest and emotions were running highest.


    Coincidentally, all the factors aligned on this fateful day and hour.


    All the rolling emotions in the atmosphere at this moment seemed to converge on Legs'' tiny frame, even as his brain greedily absolved them all, it got so much that it broke a limit, the limit was finally exceeded!


    It was like a dam broke!

    ----


    For a brief moment, Legs felt overwhelmed by all the rolling emotions.


    Maximus'' requirements for his envisioned ultimate state were hard to fulfill. Back in his previous world, not a single yer managed to make it to this level and unlock the full potentials of the sub ss but now, Legs knew the reason.


    Back in his previous world, 99.9% of the yers including himself saw Dominator as just a game, they never saw Dominator as something more.


    Since reincarnating into this world, Legs passed through the phase where he still saw this world as just a game but those days were already far behind him.


    The more he interacted here, the more he confirmed that this world was real. After interacting with some charismatic individuals here, including his 2 students, he had no more reason to see this world as just a game.


    This was the important factor that pushed Legs over the edge.


    Bzzz!


    In Legs'' perception, everything suddenly died down. All the emotions, all the noise, all the chatter, everything died down as he achieved an unprecedented level of concentration where his perception increased.


    Legs achieved a transcendental state where he could see the world through an entirely different lens than he was used to.

    ----


    Bzzz!


    Instantly, Legs entered a special state of tranquility.


    If originally, his brain was just like one part of his body. Now, to those that were perceptive enough, his brain was now like the nexus of a trade hub, it was like the energy center of a super powernt.


    Originally, with so much power and knowledge flowing through his head, Legs should have been close to breaking already but this was not the case.


    At this moment, in this special state of tranquility, he already had such a high concentration that his outlook of the world already changed.


    ''The world¡­, it''s so beautiful''.


    ''My outlook has been wed before¡­'' He was awed by his current state.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Legs didn''t even need to sniff the air, he could already scent it. At this moment, he was in a special state where he could recognize and distinguish the smell of every living being that was around him.


    If his sense of smell was OP, his sense of hearing was now even more overpowered. At this moment, Legs was opened to knowledge that he didn''t know of before, he experienced epiphanies for the first time.


    ''The world is full of vibrations¡­''


    ''Every living thing has a vibration of a certain frequency¡­, this distinguishes nts from animals, and beasts from humans''.


    ''I can feel everyone''s vibrations''.


    Combining his new sense of smell and hearing, he was able to picture everyone in what seemed like a 3D format. Every Grade C Superhuman had vibrations at extremely high-pitched frequencies.


    Their smell was also distinct, it contained power and uniqueness.


    Of all the people in this battlefield, Legs focused on one, he gasped from what he perceived. ''So powerful¡­!''


    Giant Norman''s vibrations were at a ridiculous frequency. That was not all, his smell contained wisps of his emotion, they contained sadness, confusion, desperation, and regret. Norman regretted his life decisions.


    Despite all these emotions, one fact remained, the smell was thick and powerful. Giant Norman was by far the strongest on this battlefield.


    -----


    One with the World Adrenaline Talent has been triggered!


    ----


    Legs''s perception changed again.


    This time, he was no longer just himself. To his shock, he discovered that a part of his mind was now inhabiting everyone in the ruins of the Hellfire Mountains, this talent enabled him to leave an imprint in all of them.


    Despite the mental feedback from dozens of such powerful warriors, Legs was not overwhelmed by the output, he was intelligent enough to keep everything coherent, this was because of his temporary augmentations.


    At this moment, he already gained the intelligence of an Unrivalled Battle Controller and it was nothing short of crazy and out of this world.


    Everything from Legs'' shot with the Positron Rifle, to Daemon''s ritual, to Jon Stones'' reanimation, to the Nine-Lives Cat''s action, to de''s revival, and now to Legs'' transformation, all it took was a few seconds.


    The changes were too much for the spectators to take in.


    Feeling the powerful energy that radiated from the Summoner''s brain, all the warriors felt horrified. "What¡­ sorcery is this?!"


    "Is the worlding to an end?!"


    Alexander felt it more. "How is this possible?!"


    Legs barely did anything and he was already feeling like dumping himself into a river to cool his brain, everything was too much for him toprehend.


    Even as Legs felt and drank all their emotions, he finally felt that the umtion was enough.


    "I FEEL¡­ POWERFUL!" His voice was loud and filled with power.


    He no longer hesitated; he activated it.


    -----


    You have activated Adrenaline Ability: Battle God- Legs!


    Emokinesis state has been triggered!


    Congrattions! You have be a Battle Controller!


    ----


    BOOM!


    Pure power exploded from Legs'' body.


    This power was not brute-force power, but the power of knowledge and intelligence!


    This power erupted out with power at the speed of light!


    Through the One with the World talent and now the Emokinesis state, Legs was smoothly able to deepen his connection with every single one of his allies as a special effect took ce.


    Ranging from the survivors, to the reanimated Jon Stones, to Lucky, to his contracted beasts, to his students, he connected with everybody.


    This was not an ordinary connection, with him as the nexus, Legs became a channel for the power that flowed through these warriors'' body.


    They seemed to be an extension of his body.


    Controlling power from so many sources, Legs felt like a God!


    His increased intelligence and instincts told him what he could do with so much power, Legs smirked. "I''m really a Battle Controller!"


    Legs focused his eyes on Frigga, then he channeled some of the powers of all the other warriors in his connection into the body of the Snow Fenrir.


    Frigga''s eyes shone in shock as power flooded his body.


    BOOM!


    On the spot, the Snow Fenrir experienced a transformation.


    Feeding from this incredible power, Frigga recovered more from his injuries as he instantly became a Grade C Fenrir. This explosion of power radiated towards Christensen as this Summoner finally crossed thest step.


    Every spectator who witnessed this moment where shocked.


    "What the¡­ f*ck!"


    "A deliberate artificially induced breakthrough?!"


    Legs smirked as he felt so much power, his eyes red at Alexander. "Remember this when I send you to heaven, you are no God!"


    He grinned. "But I am a Battle God!"


    "Adrenaline Ability: Battle Controller!"


    BZZZ!

 Chapter 309 Battle God- Legolas!

    -----


    You have activated Adrenaline Ability: Battle Controller!


    ----


    BZZZ!


    Christensen was still in the ecstatic state of digesting his new power and exploring the limits of his body when he suddenly froze.


    He was not the only one who froze, the others also froze.


    The fragment of Legs'' consciousness that was inside their minds activated. Instantly, Legs gained overriding authority over their bodies.


    He didn''t exactly supnt their authorities like a chip, turning them into ves of their own body like was done with Norman. Instead, an instinct like he was their Battle Commander was instead imnted in their minds.


    Back in the 21st century on Earth, Legs remembered Battle Commanders. Colonels, Generals, Admirals, there was so much indoctrination in the army that literally every private had unconditional respect for their superiors.


    At this moment, Legs nted a piece of his consciousness inside his allies in a way that they suddenly believed that he was their Battle Commander.


    Not even Frigga, the mythical beast was able to escape this special state.


    In this state, Legs felt that any order that he gave his allies, they would execute it unconditionally even if it meant losing their lives in the process.


    This was a horrifying reality to any Grade C Superhuman.


    This was the power of a Battle Controller!


    In this state, Legs'' mental capacities were heightened even more.


    He became capable of reading thoughts.


    He read the thoughts of the dozen warriors that a part of his mind now inhabited as he tried hard to suppress the strange feeling like he was now a god.


    ''What is happening to my body?'' A Summoner thought.


    ''Why can''t I control myself?!'' A Pugilist was horrified.


    ''Is this another part of the reanimation ritual?'' Jon Stones was confused.


    ''What¡­, is this?!'' Core Protector Shanks was shocked and wary.


    ''This feeling¡­, it''s master!'' Christensen thought and he was shocked.


    ''This familiar feeling¡­" de was also shocked.


    Originally, all of them were horrified and wary but they slowly calmed down when they were able to detect that the consciousness in their minds meant no harm. To cooperate sessfully with them, Legs alsoid his mind bare.


    Being a Battle Controller was not as easy a feat as Legs thought.


    It took him more than a few seconds for him to stabilize his current state. The next moment, Legs began actively essing the mind of his allies to cate them and prepare them for what woulde next.


    While all these happened, Alexander was too shocked to act.


    ''What the hell is going on?!''


    ''Why do I suddenly feel like I''m no longer facing a bunch of Grade C Superhumans but rather I''m facing a well-trained army battalion?''


    ''What is this¡­?''


    ''Should I attack to stop it?''


    ''What if attacking triggers an even more ridiculous effect?''


    Legs smirked as he basked in this state where he felt omnipresent.


    He could feel the fear of his main enemy despite their distance, he could read his thoughts, all these gave him confidence tomence it.


    "This is the battle formation!" His voice was filled with authority.


    "Jon Stones shall be our vanguard; he is the meat shield".


    "He shall be our battle spear while de will follow closely behind him. Everyone else, focus on protecting me, my Rifle will deal the killing blow".


    "We are an army!"


    "Remember, we attack and retreat as one!"


    They didn''t need to reply, Legs''s orders reverberated in their consciousnesses like the decree of a god, they could not resist it.


    -----


    Warning! Battle God- Legs state is temporary!


    You have gained ess to the Command Console!


    ----


    Instantly, Legs'' connection with his allies changed again.


    This time, he no longer saw them like just allies. Like his virtual interface indicated previously, through his now vastly superior senses, he was now able to look at his allies like they were game characters while he was the yer.


    At this moment, with a figment of his consciousness inside their minds, Legs felt like he was the yer with the joystick in his hand.


    All he needed to do was make an action and his characters would execute it.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Legs did not just think of it, he acted upon it.


    He raised his head and looked ahead, all the information that he needed to pay attention to were instantly registered in his mind. From his allies to his enemies in this battlefield, everything instantly registered in Legs'' mind.


    From Giant Norman''s position, to Alexander''s position, then to the remaining Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities, his eyes shed as ns flowed through his head already at a rapid speed.


    At this moment, he only had 11 allies remaining. Jon Stones, Core Protector Shanks, White me Eleanor, Daemon, Newton, de, Christensen, Hunter Master Lydia, Geralt and his master, and an anonymous Grade C Superhuman.


    Taking in all these information, Legs'' eyes gleamed.


    "Vanguard, charge!"


    "The others, protect!"


    He barely spoke before they moved. At this moment, they didn''t even need to process his orders, his consciousness that was in their mind override their decision making as Jon Stones and de charged towards Giant Norman.


    Boom!


    Instantly after both Pugilists moved, the others made their moves.


    None of them attacked, they simply focused on defending Legs like ordered even as those with ranged methods employed more sophisticated means to protect the 2 charging Pugilists.


    Witnessing everything and the incredible synergy, Alexander was already going crazy in horror as he roared at his Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities.


    By now, he already discovered that he was the target.


    "NORMAN, PROTECT ME!"


    "Don''t let these filthy humans get near me!"


    BOOM!


    Like a meteorite, Jon Stones charged towards Alexander without fear even as Giant Norman tried to block the way and protect his master.


    Time seemed to slow down at this sensitive moment, everyone held their breaths as this Pugilist''s speed almost broke the speed barrier.


    Directly behind him, de kept up with his master''s speed.


    Before Jon Stones hit his target, the Draconic Praying Mantis already attacked from the side as this gigantic Monster unleashed an acidic breath at his target. They did not stop at that; the Draconic Crocodile also blocked the way.


    The Crocodiles'' dangerous rows of teeth mped down towards Jon Stones with incredible speed but this time, the Pugilist did not back away.


    He relished his current state. "Hahaha¡­!"


    He didn''t even need to think, Legs made all the decisions, all that he needed to do was cooperate as his body moved in tandem with Legs''s thoughts.


    "Unlike before, I''m immortal now!"


    "Stones'' Specialty: Obliteration Fist!"


    At thest moment, Jon Stones suddenly changed his target from Alexander who was behind to the Draconic Crocodile. This Crocodile did not expect it as the Pugilists'' mighty fist collided against its skin, pushing it back.


    The attack left a stinging pain but the Crocodile was mostly fine. This state didn''tst though, this Crocodile felt its danger instincts ring the next moment.


    Shing!


    At thest moment, de also changed his target.


    From nowhere, this Pugilist unsheathed a sword that his master secretly gave to him just a minute ago. Seeing the sma de of the Lightsaber, the Draconic Crocodile felt a strong threat to its life.


    It couldn''t dodge though, the attack was too fast including the timing.


    de attacked instantly after Jon Stones attacked and at the same point, with all his power, this Pugilist sliced down with the Lightsaber.


    Swoosh!


    BOOM!


    -----


    You have activated Weapon Ability: Particle Beam Bombardment!


    Critical Hit!


    ----


    Not only the Lightsaber sliced through, a powerful atomic beam also hit flesh.


    Legs attacked at the same instant as the sword met flesh.


    He hoped to end the Draconic Crocodile''s life with that but this Monstrosity had more vitality than he expected, it didn''t live longer though. Noticing it first, all de needed was a backheel sh to behead this menace.


    The Draconic Crocodile was dead!


    "¡­?!!!" Alexander had only shock and question marks all over his face.


    "What¡­?!"


    "How¡­?!"


    Legs remained calm. "Vanguard, charge!"

 Chapter 310 Legolas Show; The Dao Of Perfectionism! [1]

    -----


    de has dealt the killing blow to the Bio-Mechanic Monstrosity: Draconic Crocodile!


    Congrattions! A warrior under the effects of your Battle Controller abilities has killed a Bio-Mechanic Monstrosity!


    You have received 5,000,000 Experience Points!


    You have gained increased Notoriety and Renown!


    ----


    The fall of the Draconic Crocodile spread ripples of shock through this battlefield, the ruins of the Hellfire Mountains drank the blood of one of the 4 Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities that wreaked havoc here today.


    Shock and emotions as a whole didn''t matter to Legs'' allies though.


    Under hismands as the Battle Controller, no matter how shocked and emotional they felt due to whatever happened, they would still unconditionally fulfill each and every one of his orders.


    The shock from this ridiculous feat shocked Alexander the most.


    Having watched and directed Norman from the dark as he created these Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities, Alexander more or less knew everything about them.


    He knew how strong and resilient they were, for one of them to die so decisively in a battle against Grade C superhumans was too abnormal for him to believe, this warrior was gripped by horror.


    Legs remained calm. "Vanguard, charge!"


    BOOM!


    Jon Stones left thunderps in his wake as he exploded forward with speed.


    After the first demonstration, not only did the Draconic Crocodile dying alleviate a lot of their worries and misgivings about the Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities'' ridiculous attack power, it also proved that they could die.


    Having died from these same monsters'' hands, Jon Stones became enthusiastic more than ever before to rush forward and deal even more damage.


    Through the Emokinesis state, Legs tapped into this warrior''s emotions.


    Under Legs'' guidance, Jon Stones knew his target instantly. With dark power partly from the underworld erupting from his body, Jon Stones turned into a meteor as he charged towards the Praying Mantis while umting power.


    Feeling the power, this Praying Mantis felt threatened.


    Of the 3 Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities, the Undying Cockroach had the best vitality by far which was followed by the Draconic Crocodile. Of the 3, the Praying Mantis with Draconic bloodline was by far the weakest in terms of vitality.


    Feeling this Pugilist''s charge, it felt threatened.


    It chittered loudly in panic as its purple mechanical eyes flickered.


    At thest moment, Giant Norman jumped into the fray to reinforce it.


    Whoosh!


    Giant Norman''s arrival was sudden but Jon Stones was not startled, he didn''t have to. All he was at this moment was an executioner, Legs was the dictator, he did all the thinking on behalf of the battling warriors.


    Norman''s organic fist and tentaclesunched towards the Pugilist with power, while at the same time he gathered psionic energy to use his mechanic side.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The gun ports and muzzles barely started unleashing their loads when he arrived. With his Elementalist staff, in this special state where he was connected with Legs, Newton looked like an enlightened sage.


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: Partial Defense Negation!"


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: 3-Fold Shield!"


    While Newton defended against the mechanical attacks, someone else took care of the rest, de once again like an assassin jumped into the fray.


    Whoosh!


    On his hand, the Lightsaber was even more lethal.


    The sh of the powerful Lightsaber seemed to bloat the glow of the sun out of the skies. Giant Norman tried to defend but it was not too effective, the lethal sma de of the saber cut through like a hot knife through butter.


    Sizzle!


    The organic tentacles sizzled as they were ruthlessly sliced apart.


    The Stealth A.I''s eyes flickered. "You shall not PASS!"


    Again, this A.I made use of the lingering pure core energy that was stored inside Giant Norman as this Giant erected a powerful shield that prevented Jon Stones from passing through to attack the Praying Mantis.


    Jon Stones was held back but through Legs'' precognition due to his special state, he was able to read this move ahead of time and already prepared countermeasures against it, Legs gave off an invincible aura.


    Whoosh!


    The Praying Mantis definitely didn''t see thising.


    Despite the fact that all the shy Superhumans stole the show most of the time, drawing all the attention, there was another fact that could not be disputed, and that was the fact that there were 2 Grade C Assassins in this battlefield!


    On Legs'' orders, these 2 Shadow Elementalists made their moves!


    Moving through the shadows, they left no trace of their movements till they were already close. While Giant Norman focused on protecting the shy Superhumans, these 2 lethal assassins attacked from behind.


    Their attacks were deadly, though it did not severely injure the gigantic Praying Mantis, they managed to open a hole in its body and this was what mattered, Legs took over from there.


    -----


    You have activated Weapon Ability: Atomic Rage!


    ----


    The massive st was like Divine Judgement from heaven!


    The Praying Mantis could not dodge it, it could only watch at this concentrated st of atomic energy mmed into its body with power!


    BOOM!


    -----


    Critical hit!


    Your attack obliterated 60% of the Praying Mantis'' Health Points!


    ----


    Instantly, the Praying Mantis was left in a pitiful state!


    Alexander was going crazy. "Protect the beast!"


    He was already being pushed to the brink of desperation.


    "Protect it!"


    "You can''t let it die!"


    "My n can''t fail!"


    "PROTECT MY PRECIOUS!"


    ck Master Einstein and his student led the charge in a bid to protect the dying Bio-Mechanic Monstrosity but nothing could escape Legs'' sight.


    At this moment, it was really no overstatement.<novelnext></novelnext>


    At this moment, Legs was really no different from a god!


    "White me Eleanor, support!"


    "Hunter Master Lydia, assist!"


    Legs'' voice was calm and soothing like a musician''s voice even as its dangerous edge remained, he gave more orders calmly.


    Before ck Master Einstein and Din could get there, with Eleanor''s support, Hunter Master Lydia was already there as thisdy warrior went loose!


    "Lydia Specialty: Wind Predator!"


    "Lydia Specialty: Aurora of Death!"


    Bam! Bam!


    Alexander''s support were easily neutralized, giving the 2 assassins all the time that they needed to deal even more sustained damage to the Mantis.


    All they waited for was another opening for Legs to deal the final damage.


    Alexander was desperate, he tried more means to break this deadlock but Legs was always a step ahead of him, he thwarted all his measures.


    "Core Protector Shanks, intercept!"


    "Daemon, send in cannon fodder!"


    "Jon Stones, an Obliteration Fist in the East direction!"


    They obeyed his orders unconditionally and it paid, they hammered the enemies hard as all the Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities started bleeding rivers.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    As the battle raged, Newton watched as wonder filled his eyes.


    He subtly turned his attention towards Legs in awe.


    ''Who is he actually?''


    ''How can a teenager be so talented?''


    ''How can he be so knowledgeable?''


    ''How can he be so powerful?''


    Unlike brutes like Jon Stones and others, Newton was one of those few Superhumans at this moment who truly understood the significance of what Legs achieved after suffering at the hands of the Beast Monstrosities previously.


    ''When the war started, he was at the center of it all, he was previously Norman''s test subject, who expected him to n so far ahead?!''


    ''Even in captivity, he remained sane''.


    ''Even in captivity, he remained a genius''.


    ''He informed his student of the location of Norman''s headquarters''.


    ''When the battle officially started, he relegated himself to the back. Originally, I thought it was because he was cowardly and too weak but now I understand, he had been observing and nning in the dark''.


    ''The acumen to decide to go to the desert and free the Ancient Titans, the rewards, I don''t know how he got them but he made it all work''.


    ''These alien weapons, he got them in the desert?''


    ''It doesn''t matter, what matters is that he is the difference maker''.


    ''Singlehandedly, Legs turned this battle around''.


    His eyes shone. ''Legs, who are you?''


    ''Where did youe from? Are you an Alien?''


    ''This is too perfect!''


    ''This is perfectionism!''


    BOOM!


    The gigantic Praying Mantis received another lethal sh from the Lightsaber after a clever maneuver by de that was directed by Legs.


    Thisst attack opened the Mantis to more attack.


    Legs stayed concentrated as usual. "Jon Stones, bombard!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The enthusiastic Pugilist bombarded the Praying Mantis to the point of death, this was when the window of opportunity finally opened, Legs did not hesitate as he held the Positron Rifle up and pulled the trigger.


    Whoosh!


    As the st flew through the air like thunder, about to bring an end to the Praying Mantis, Giant Norman jumped into the fray again.


    "I WON''T LET YOU!"


    Boom!


    Norman took the attack as this Giant shuddered and lost a lot of power.


    Even as Giant Norman tried to recover from the attack, Legs did not let up as under his orders, the Grade C Superhumans attacked him.


    Alexander''s eyes flickered in desperation as he watched everything happen.


    He finally lost it; he made a drastic decision.


    "Do it!"


    "Burn yourself for glory!"


    "MY PLAN MUST SUCCEED!"


    Giant Norman received the order and worked on it instantly.


    Bzzz!


    Giant Norman was instantly set aze. He didn''t stop at that, he grabbed the Praying Mantis'' body, the Draconic Crocodile''s corpse, and the weak body of Giant-1 as he pressed them together before swallowing the mushy tissue.


    Giant Norman swallowed all 3 Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities!


    "Forbidden Technique: Organic Ingestion and Digestion!"


    As soon as he swallowed them, the energy was too much, this gigantic Monstrosity started burning from inside. His body metabolism became erratic, his temperature rose to extremely high temperatures.


    For a short burst of strength, Norman was already on the path of death.


    His energy exploded.


    BOOM!


    Norman roared as the pain tore at his brain. "Rarrhhh¡­!!!"

 Chapter 311 Legolas Show; The Dao Of Perfectionism! [2]

    "Rarrhhh¡­!"


    "RAARGHHH¡­!"


    "RAARGGHHHH¡­!!!"


    Giant Norman expanded even further to a towering size of 15 meters!


    The Organic Ingestion and Digestion was a forbidden technique of the stars beyond Darvis that Alexander programmed into the Stealth A.I.


    Through this, Giant Norman could swallow the other Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities for a great burst of strength but in exchange, he would surely die.


    "ARGGHHH¡­!!!"


    Norman was in pain¡­, a lot of pain!


    All his muscles felt like they were tearing apart, his veins stuck out all over his 15-meter-tall body. His eyes became red and bloodshot, even as fire raged across his body, his skin became a bright-red like hot metal!


    His breath emitted steam instead of just air!


    This drastic decision from Alexander meant that he already abandoned his ns from centuries ago, it all didn''t matter to him though how much he sacrificed so long as he was able to aplish his goal.


    To aplish his goal, Alexander was ready to sacrifice anything.


    "Hahaha¡­!" Heughed like a maniac.


    "Hehehe¡­!"


    "Hohoho¡­!"


    "All of you shall die!"


    "ALL OF YOU SHALL DIE!"


    "ALL OF YOU¡­!!!"


    Alexander gave hisst orders to his ultimate test subject.


    "KILL!"


    "RARGGHHH¡­.!"


    Giant Norman took a step forward and exploded with power.


    Even as Alexander continuedughing like a maniac and as he dered death onto all the Grade C Superhumans that defied him, and even as Giant Norman charged towards Jon Stones who was closest, Legs remained calm.


    After unlocking the full potentials of the Battle Controller subss, Legs entered a state of calm unlike he had experienced before.


    He remained concentrated on this battlefield.


    At this moment, his brain and thought process were faster than that of a supeputer. He could calcte the exact power of the current Norman; he could calcte how much his soldiers could resist it.


    Everything remained in his palm, he remained in control.


    Legs remained eerily calm. "Jon Stones, sacrifice!"


    "de, retreat and wait for my orders!"


    "Daemon, create another body for Jon Stones!"


    "Everyone else, defend!"


    BOOM!


    Giant Norman punched!


    The airspace literally squeezed as this punch moved through the air. Even the life in the air seemed to die as it passed, like ordered, de and everyone else retreated from this attack, only 1 man stayed behind.


    "Hahaha¡­!" Jon Stonesughed like a maniac.


    "Hehehe¡­, my whole life, I lived to face attacks like this head-on!"


    "Thank you, Daemon!"


    "I am forever grateful for this opportunity to live as a reanimation!"


    "I am grateful for this opportunity to truly live fearlessly!"


    Jon Stones'' ck eyes gleamed. "Stones'' Specialty: Fist of Obliteration!"


    BOOM!


    The sound reverberated like that of thunderps!


    Jon Stones tried his best but he only managed to slow the attack down, at this moment, Giant Norman was simply too powerful. This Pugilist''s body could not withstand it as the powerpletely obliterated him.


    The attack with reduced force continued towards the others.


    Like Legs ordered, without flinching in fear, they all focused on defending. When so many Grade C Superhumans made use of their defensive techniques at the same time, the shield that was formed could only be called formidable!


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The attack hit and the shield shook, there were cracks but it held.


    Legs was calm, he already calcted it. Still calm, he acted.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning!


    ----


    Finally, Legs'' beasts were unleashed!


    With Predator taking the lead, overenthusiastic to take part in the battle already, they jumped through the bridge. They didn''t juste alone this time though, they all came with an army of beasts from the beast ne.


    Legs sent them to the beast ne for a reason, while he made his ns, he sent them to go to the beast ne to recruit a formidable army.


    Lucky and her clique came with an army of Foxes!


    Ak and his wife came with an army of Wolves!


    Like the others, Bran also managed to convince a lot of birds as he came from the beast ne with lots of birds of preys following after him!<novelnext></novelnext>


    As for Predator, like usual, he came alone!


    This time, this Nightmare Beast emitted a much more ferocious aura as he red at the cause of all the trouble.


    Feeling Giant Norman''s aura, Predator felt challenged, he grinned.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Legs remained calm. "Daemon, release all your canon fodder!"


    "We''re switching strategies, we''ll kite Giant Norman till death!"


    "Eleanor, augment de, Jon Stones, and Predator, they''ll be the tip of our sword!"


    Daemon already created a new body for the powerful Pugilist, he didn''t stop at that, he opened portals and summoned his full Undead Army!


    Feeling his new body, Jon Stones cackled. "Hahaha¡­!"


    "It''s awesome to live as an Immortal!"


    Legs continued giving orders. "Newton, this new strategy relies a lot on your output, show us yourpetence and unleash AOE disaster!"


    "Everyone else, focus on defending against the powerful attacks!"


    "Try to open the window of opportunity for me to shoot asionally!"


    "Jon Stones, de, Predator¡­, now!" Legs'' voice was deep.


    "Hell yeah!" Jon Stones was enthusiastic.


    de responded with silence as his eyes gleamed ambitiously.


    As for Predator, trust the beast, he was always vocal.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Together, these 3 powerhouses charged bravely towards Giant Norman. Even before they reached, Newton already went to work into giving his all and tapping into his experience to unleash his greatest AOE disaster.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Hisrge-scale attacks set the tempo, the vanguard shed against him!


    BOOM!


    It was not easy but they managed not to die immediately, with Jon Stones'' sheer strength, with Predator''s tenacity and never-retreating spirit, and with de''s Lightsaber and super way, they braved through all the dangers.


    They also survived because everyone else had their backs.


    With the other Grade C Superhumans focused on saving them, there was nothing holding these Grade C Superhumans back, they wreaked havoc.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The battle intensity was crazy!


    -----


    You have activated Weapon Ability: Particle Beam Bombardment!


    ¡­


    You have activated Weapon Ability: Transcendent Punisher!


    ¡­


    You have activated Weapon Ability: Atomic Rage!


    ----


    BOOM!


    Every attack from Legs'' Positron Rifle was of epic proportions.


    Alexander was going crazy from desperation. "Nooo¡­!"


    "Nooooo¡­!!!"


    "This can''t happen!"


    "This can''t be happening to me!"


    "I have to win!"


    "I have to subdue Darvis and be it''s Governor!"


    "I cannot fail!"


    "I definitely cannot fail!"


    "I must gain General Aztog''s approval!"


    "I MUST WIN!"


    As Giant Norman staggered, Alexander constantly felt like a spike was stabbing through his heart, he could no longer levitate in the air freely.


    His aura became turbulent.


    Against his wildest expectations, despite swallowing the other Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities to gain even more power, Legs remained strong.


    With his incredible abilities, he kept all the Grade C Superhumans strong and together as a unit, the power that they could unleash was incredibly powerful!


    After going on a rampage for 20 minutes without being able to kill a single Grade C Superhuman, not even King Nagakin who also yed a little role in the attacks, Giant Norman was finally spent.


    This Giant human''s body emitted steam as his body started giving way.


    From staggering, Giant Norman fell to his knees.


    This warrior''s bloodshot eyes looked up in despair as the influence of the Stealth A.I slowly started fading away, he gasped for breath.


    He stammered. "I-I am about to¡­ die?!"

 Chapter 312 Normans Death

    Norman''s life shed before his eyes.


    He stammered. "I-I am about to¡­ die?!"


    The process already started and it could not be stopped.


    At this moment, the temperature of his body kept on growing even higher. His already ultra-red body kept on bing hotter, now it was too hot, his gigantic body that he worked on for centuries to make perfect started melting apart.


    The pain was unbearable, Norman felt like he was left in a furnace to burn to death, his throat was already parched, groaning in pain was now even a difficulty.


    "Argghh¡­!" He made incoherent sounds as his life faded away slowly.


    "¡­" Everyone was silent as they experienced different emotions.


    All the Grade C Superhuman survivors were shocked and ecstatic as they observed Giant Norman who slowly melted away. Apart from their shock at the feat that they just achieved, they also studied the peculiar connection.


    The state that Legs pushed them to when they connected with him was unprecedented, at that moment, they felt like they finally saw it all.


    They felt connected to an existence that was far above them.


    They felt connected to the God of Wisdom itself.


    At that moment, they kind of understood why Alexander felt so strongly about the aliens from outside Darvis. At that state, they got to get a nce at the incredible wisdom that Legs held.


    They were exposed to bits and pieces of knowledge from Earth that Legs didn''t mind sharing.


    They were exposed to bits and pieces of knowledge about Dominator.


    As a core developer who took part in the creation of this incredible game world, Legs knew too much about this world, Darvis was just a backwater to him. Being exposed to this much information, they felt awed.


    They finally felt how small Alexander felt on meeting the so-called General Aztog, it was really that feeling of a frog stuck in a well.


    "Legs knows everything!" Heimdall suddenly eximed.


    "In my centuries of living, I don''t know as much as this teenager".


    This old Assassin''s eyes shone in fanatism. "Legs is the God of Wisdom!"


    "No¡­" His eyes shone in understanding. "Since he is still a teenager, he is the reincarnation of the God of Wisdom!"


    "No wonder his rise was so fast and unprecedented!"


    "No wonder he could control everything from the dark!"


    "He singlehandedly won this war!"


    Geralt also felt great respect for Legs but not at the level of his master, this warrior was gobsmacked as he saw his master fall to his knees before Legs.


    "Geralt, on your knees, let us pay homage to wisdom and power!"


    Far away, with the Positron Rifle still on his hand, Legs watched this with a calm face, he couldn''t stop his eyes from slightly twitching though.


    He could feel that Heimdall was totally serious about how he felt and it gave him goosebumps all the more, the only reason why he was able to stay calm was the fact that he had been ying as the Hermit for 3+ years already.


    Unlike Heimdall, Altan was even more straightforward.


    Altan fell to his knees. "This is the power of his Almighty the Hermit!"


    Every spectator at this moment felt something, Legs'' 2 students were no exception. Having stayed with Legs as they fought through thick and skin for all this time, they felt and appreciated his power the most.


    Legs'' virtual interface lit up.

    ----<novelnext></novelnext>


    BOOM!


    Legs exploded with even more power.


    Every Special Talent was a big deal, every single one could define an excellent warrior from a great warrior, getting 3 of them at the same time was a big deal. All the spectators were even more horrified.


    "He''s getting even stronger?!" By now, Alexander was already getting numb to the subsequent shocks that kept on shaking his soul.


    Only de knew what happened and he was happy about it.


    While all the attention briefly focused on Legs who was the star of the show, one of the Grade C Superhumans suddenly moved.


    Bzzz!


    Newton teleported directly beside the head of his student, he grabbed Norman by the head even as he looked into his unfocused eyes, emotion filled this warrior''s heart as he saw the current state of his student.


    "Norman¡­" Tears flowed down Newton''s eyes as he called weakly.


    "¡­" Norman did not respond; he was already in his own world.


    Norman saw his life sh before his eyes, the first day that he met his master.


    "I see a lot of potential in you". The man''s deep voice reverberated.


    "If you work hard under me, I''ll help you fulfill your potential".


    "I''ll work hard!" The teenager clenched his fists excitedly with determination.


    The days passed by fast. Everyday, Norman took his designated work with gusto as he slowly rose through the ranks. In no time, he became such a good scientist that he got to work with Newton on a consistent basis.


    Years passed like the rolling pages of a book.


    "Master, see what I made, an explosive acid".


    Newton looked down on the teenager with doting eyes filled with love, he rubbed his head. "Good job, Norman, I''m proud of you".


    The next week. "Master, see what I made".


    "Good job".


    Norman became addicted to his master''spliments. He worked hard to make him proud always, all he wanted in life was to stay be his master''s side.


    A few monthster, one of the assistants under Newton came to meet him. "N-Norman, please do you have time? My name is Diana¡­, I-I want to tell you something".


    "What? I have assignments to do, please be fast!"


    "Ahh¡­, sorry". She seemed to feel sad. "It''s not urgent".


    Norman barely paid attention to her reaction though, he left to go do his assignment and engage in more research. Over the years, Diana kept on trying to get closer to him which was something that he failed to understand.


    "Why is she bing so clingey?"


    "She wasn''t like this before¡­, weirdo¡­"


    A few more yearster, Newton finally trusted him enough to open his eyes to alien technology, this was when Norman developed his true passion.


    He was determined to make his master even more proud of him.


    Another yearter.


    "Master, see what I did!"


    "I managed to reverse-engineer the blueprint to create them telephone, it was so easy all along!"


    That day¡­ was when his world turned dark.


    His master''s outburst was something that Norman did not expect, subsequent memories after this flowed in an elerated fashion. Probably, he didn''t want to relive them in hisst moments and was why they elerated.


    They soon elerated to today, that moment when his master finally acknowledged him, that moment when everything seemed to finally work out.


    Finally, he thought he could spend an eternity with his master while only focused on their passion and research but Alexander came along and spoiled everything.


    Pop!


    A slight popping sound suddenly roused Norman''s consciousness. On opening his heavy eyes, he saw his master above him, Newton was crying and it was his tears whichnded on him with the popping sound.


    Seeing his master, tears instantly welled in Norman''s eyes.


    He looked at him. "I''m sorry¡­, all I ever wanted was your approval".


    The tears flowed faster as Newton grabbed and hugged his student''s head. "I''m sorry Norman, I am the worst teacher ever¡­"


    "I''m sorry¡­"


    He raised his head and looked into Norman''s eyes. "I acknowledge you, you are my student, my best student".


    "In fact, y-you''re the best thing that ever happened to me". Newton stammered; this was an uncharacteristic sight.


    Amid the tears, Norman gave hisst smile then he said hisst words.


    "I''m sorry¡­"


    Norman gave up the ghost.

 Chapter 313 Exile

    Norman died!

    "¡­"


    "What the¡­?!"


    Killing Norman, Legs expected to receive a lot of gains from it but this was still far beyond his expectation. Given the fact that he didn''t deal thest blow to this monstrosity, gaining so much shocked him to his bone marrows.


    If he removed the ridiculous amount of experience points that he gained, the real catch here were the character summon cards.


    The summon cards of a character of Norman''s level was no cheap thing, every single one of them was precious.


    What still shocked him most was the talent.


    ''I f*cking gained ess to a duplicate Supreme Talent?!''


    ''F*ck! Did I lose out or can this supreme talent be stacked?!''


    The possibilities were so much that Legs was already going crazy. By now, the incredible state of unparalleled intelligence was already wearing off but there was more than enough energy in him to keep him standing.


    Legs was no longer so calm though, he was excited.


    ''How the f*ck did I get so lucky?!''


    As soon as he asked, he remembered a certain Fox as he turned his head to look at it, Legs''s eyes constricted in pure joy.


    "Lucky¡­"


    "No wonder you''re my favorite".


    Not only Legs benefited from the death of this superviin. Despite the fact that the others didn''t have a convenient virtual interface like Legs to check it, they all felt power flow into their body after his death.


    Newton also felt this power but it left him even more guilty.


    Newton hugged his student''s gigantic head until Norman''s bodypletely melted from inside out, his hands and body were stained with the blood of his student, this Elementalist looked at his hands as his eyes shook.


    The next moment, Newton stood up and wiped off his tears.


    He looked up, his gaze went straight and shed with a certain Elementalist.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Feeling the intense gaze, Alexander shuddered. "¡­"


    -----


    You assisted in the killing of the Leader of the Clown Society!


    Congrattions! You havepleted Grade A Mission: Enemy of the Clown Society!


    You have¡­


    ----


    This was right, Alexander may have been the maniptor from the dark but the fact remained that Norman was still the sole leader of the Clown Society.


    At least, the virtual interface recognized it as so.


    Legs wanted to see his rewards instantly but after the brief altercation between Newton and Alexander, Legs remembered that there was onest objective. His grasp on the Positron Rifle tightened.


    The atmosphere instantly turned oppressive again.


    He raised his head and red at Alexander.


    Every single one of the surviving Grade C Superhumans red at this Elementalist, Alexander gulped as he looked back down at them.


    "I¡­"


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Particle Beam Bombardment!


    ----


    4 individuals moved at the same time!


    Legs did not move; his hands did all the action. As soon as he raised the Rifle and aimed, he pulled the trigger as the erratic atomic beam was unleashed.


    At exactly the same time that he moved, Newton tore the fabric of space open as he teleported directly beside Alexander with his Elementalist Staff already charging an incredible amount of power.


    At the same time, Jon Stones and de moved.


    With the Lightsaber, de aimed at Alexander''s neck and shed. As for Jon Stones, this warrior directly went for the head.


    BOOM!


    Thebination of so many attacks from such powerful opponents was crazy, Alexander''s eyes constricted even as he faded into the shadows, enabling him to dodge the attacks by the skin of his teeth.


    "Ugh¡­!" He was not safe though, he soon coughed blood as he returned to reality, he was not the only Shadow Expert here.


    Heimdall came out of the shadows alongside Alexander with his sword stuck in the enemy''s hips. Alexander coughed blood even as horror covered his face, Geralt was already behind him about to deal the finishing blow.


    He tried to teleport away out of this battlefield.


    Bzzz!


    Alexander was fast but Core Protector Shanks was even faster.


    This powerful Elementalist already deployed powerful Space-time stabilizers as Alexander became trapped in this carefully designed ughterhouse.


    This Elementalist''s eyes widened in despair as he saw all the attacks ruthlessly descend towards him intent on stripping him of his life, he became desperate as he looked into the skies.


    "General Aztog¡­"


    "HELP ME!"


    A response came immediately.


    For most of the Grade C Superhumans who survived, this was their first time seeing a spaceship. Made in a circr shape like a ring, this spaceship entered orbit as it''s powerful thrusters kept it afloat against the gravity of the.


    Then from this spaceship extended out a blue ethereal bridge.


    The bridge arrived before Alexander instantly.


    The bridge directly brute-forced and broke the Space-time stabilizers, as soon as the light from it touched Alexander, this Shadow Elementalist faded from the battlefield as he instantly arrived inside the Spaceship.


    All the Grade C Superhumans turned their sights upwards as they unleashed their strongest attacks towards the spaceship.


    The spaceship did not linger, it lifted off out of the.


    From the middle of the spaceship, they saw the deck where a warrior stood.


    Donning golden armor, this warrior looked down at the warriors who fought bravely today against his envoy to the.


    ''General Aztog¡­'' One name rang in everyone''s ears.


    Bzzz!


    The spaceship finally left the''s orbit.


    "They are gone¡­"

 Chapter 314 No Retreat; No Surrender!

    "He escaped¡­"


    No one paid attention to the Grade C Superhuman who said this, this was because everyone was focused on what was happening to them.


    After enjoying it for minutes, the influence was finally fading.


    -----


    Warning! Requirements to keep Unrivalled God Mode active are no longer in effect!


    Effects of Unrivalled God Mode fading¡­


    Connection with allies is fading¡­


    Adrenaline potential fading¡­


    Gene limit potential fading¡­


    ----


    Legs closed his eyes as he relished this moment to its fullest.


    Alexander escaping was a big matter since it brought a lot moreplications, but despite it''s importance, it was not as important as what was happening to him after experiencing first-hand the effects of a Battle Controller.


    With his eyes closed, Legs'' new senses as a Grade C Superhuman enabled him to see much more beyond what a normal human or superhuman could see.


    After entering the Unrivalled God Mode, he temporarily gained the One with the World talent. This was the talent that enabled him in conjunction with the Battle Controller Adrenaline ability tomand his allies like a Battle Commander.


    With this talent, after temporarily getting it, Legs felt like a God. He felt like a superior being while everyone else were simply his children that were connected to him, he felt that if he willed it, he could connect to them all.


    In that state, he felt like he could have even ordered wild beasts and harmless nts to go to war against Giant Norman for him if his n didn''t work.


    In that state, he felt in tune with the world like never before.


    Those were not the only talents that he temporarily unlocked, he also unlocked the Intelligence of the Unrivalled Battle Controller, the Super Scent, and Super Hearing talents that made him feel even more transcendent.


    Unlike the One with the World talent that made him connect outwards with the world, the other 3 talents focused more on his body.


    Now, as Legs'' senses looked deeper into his body, he understood.


    Research already showed long ago that humans could only make use of a fraction of the total potentials of their body.


    The brain for example is said to be the most ingeniousputer, but not everyone can use it at the efficiency of aputer.


    The body also was aplicated work of perfection. The different organs, the tissues, the cells, they were all connected in an intricate manner to bring the best out of a human body.


    Despite this, not even martial artists could use their body to its fullest potential. As a martial artist in his previous life, Legs understood this.


    What these 3 talents did was drawing out histent potential. The body was mostly made up of blood and water, but as he focused in, Legs detected a certain golden fluid flowing in his body in ce of water and blood.


    ''Is this what flows when we make full use of our body''s potential?'' He was amazed by the sight.


    This golden fluid was thick and filled with power.


    It was like a material manifestation of adrenaline. This liquid was the main reason why he temporarily unlocked the Battle God and Battle Controller adrenaline abilities, it forcefully broke his limits to draw out his full potential.


    With his body and his brain working at their fullest potential, it was why he felt so invincible, it was why he felt like a God.


    Now, these effects were slowly fading away.


    Legs felt¡­, sad.


    Having experienced this state, returning to normal felt weird and sad. It was like a hardcore racer who already had ess to a Ferrari for a few minutes, then the next few minutes being relegated back to a Toyota Camry.


    Legs was not the only one who felt these emotions, the others who were connected to him felt it also. Through the connection, they felt it.


    And having experienced how effective they could be when connected with Legs, losing this connection now, all of them felt a weird feeling of sadness and longing. This experience already changed their lives forever.


    ''F*ck! I don''t want to lose this state forever!'' Legs felt frustrated.


    ''Is there nothing that can be done?!''


    ''Damn you Maximus! Is this the best that you can do?''


    The virtual interface lit up again.


    -----


    Unrivalled God Mode no longer active!


    ----


    "Sigh¡­" Legs lost hope.


    The interface already closed but there was a sudden interference.

    ----


    Legs'' eyes literally started burning hot immediately.


    ''I can get ess to the full potential of the Battle Controller subss at will?!'' The sight of this alone already set his heart aze burning furiously.


    Apart from the obvious benefits, Legs also discovered more from this virtual interface notification. ''This means that Maximus is still here''.


    ''If Iplete all the missions, I may perhaps even meet him''.


    The prospects of meeting this fellow earthling already made his ambition to burn hotter than ever before.


    Since the day of his reincarnation 3 years ago, his main goal was to fulfill his curiosity and know the full mysteries behind his reincarnation, he believed that through Maximus, he could know a lot.


    ''Perhaps, he even knows the so-called God of Games''.


    Even as Legs finally calmed down after losing the effects of the Unrivalled God Mode, the others still looked at him with different expressions on their faces.


    After the show today, Legs already left an imprint in all their hearts.


    Today, he already left his legend and imprint in this.


    "Cough¡­!"


    The violent cough disrupted the solemn atmosphere, all eyes turned to the culprit only to see Jon Stones still engulfed by underworld energy.


    At this moment, his body that was forcefully forged by Daemon was already falling apart. Cracks appeared all over his body even as green mes seemed to start devouring him from within, the ritual was already over.


    Also, his soul was already receiving the call of the Underworld.


    He no longer belonged here; he was already dead.


    "¡­" The reality that Jon Stones was dead finally dawned on everyone.


    Whoosh!


    de charged forward and appeared beside his mentor the next moment.


    de did not hesitate before kneeling before him, seeing his current state, he clenched his fists even as his emotions became turbulent.


    "Mentor¡­"


    Seeing the young Pugilist appear before him, Jon Stones smiled which only caused him even more agony. He touched de by the head.


    "Do not cry because it''s ending¡­"


    "Rejoice because it happened".


    He forced a grin. "Remember, we''re Pugilists, not Summoners, not Elementalists!"


    "Hehe¡­, weugh at the face of death!"


    Even as he spoke, his body kept on falling apart and fragmenting.


    "Ahh¡­!" He gasped for breath even as he looked at this world onest time.


    He left his will as he looked at de onest time.


    "de, don''t let this world forget about me!"


    "Don''t let Pugilists be the undisputed weakest after I''m gone!"


    "Carry on my will, recreate the Pugilist Academy and make it even more glorious than ever before!"


    "Make me proud!"


    He grinned onest time. "Remember¡­"


    "No Retreat!"


    "No Surrender!"


    His body finally fragmented into pieces¡­


    Every Grade C Superhuman survivor paid theirst respects to this legend as his soul finally made the final transition to the Underworld.


    Jon Stones'' story finally came to an end.

    ----


    "¡­"


    Legs did not say a word nor did he disy too much emotion because of his student''s reaction to Jon Stones'' death but in his mind, f*cking hell, he was already doing a somersaulting happy dance.


    ''Keep it cool''.


    ''Keep it cool''.


    ''Take it easy¡­, no stress''.


    He tried but he still couldn''t hold himself, inside his mind was a storm. ''Hehe¡­, I won''t even mind being called Legs bobo this time''.


    ''This is f*cking beyond my expectations!''<novelnext></novelnext>


    ''260,000,000 Experience Points?!''

    ''5 more Character Summon Cards and aary Legendary Point?!''


    ''Man¡­, this is f*cking heaven!''


    ''Saving my knowledge to increase my value worked like a cheat man!''


    Outwardly, Legs had a poker look on his face, no one could tell what was going through his mind but inside his mind, it was a raging storm.


    While de finished paying hisst respects to his dead mentor, one of the Shadow Elementalists suddenly walked forward, attracting all the attention. His movement also managed to attract Legs'' attention.


    Heimdall did not stop, he walked directly before Legs and looked into this Summoner''s eyes, then the next moment every spectating eye widened.


    Thud!


    Heimdall went down on his knees!


    This was no ordinary warrior; this was no ordinary Grade C Superhuman!


    Heimdall was not just Geralt''s master who was the leader of the Crimson des Assassins, he was an old monster of Jon Stones'' era, he was a powerful Shadow Elementalist who was older than Legs by centuries!


    Legs was also taken aback by the unexpected action.


    With shock in his eyes, he looked at the warrior.


    On his knees, Heimdall looked straight at Legs'' eyes. "You are the one!" He said in a powerful voice.


    "Do you know the agony of stagnation?"


    "That agony when you no longer know how to improve and be better when you''re already obsessed with the feeling of improving?"


    "That agony¡­, I have suffered it for centuries!"


    Emotion flowed from this warrior''s voice. "For centuries, like every other Grade C Superhuman, I became stuck in the Grade C Realm".


    "Like Jon Stones and Newton, I have tasted the peak of the Grade C Realm but I remained stagnated, I never found the opportunity to improve further".


    "The torment pushed me into seclusion but still nothing worked¡­, until today when I saw you in action".


    "Being connected to you, I finally saw the opportunity I was looking for".


    "Viewing you as my Battle Commander, I finally felt that I could improve further, I felt that listening to you was the key that I was missing before now".


    Heimdall clenched his fists. "Legs, ept me as your subordinate!"


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    If there was a greater word for shock, that would have been best to describe the emotion that spread through all the Grade C Superhumans who witnessed this.


    "Master¡­!" Geralt was shocked.


    "Do not interfere, I have made my decision!" Heimdall was firm.


    Legs was as shocked as the others, despite knowing how much power he showed today, despite knowing that today already set him apart as a legend, he also knew that every single Grade C Superhuman had their own pride.


    He never expected to convince a Grade C Superhuman to even entertain the thought ofing under him, he was overwhelmed.


    Heimdall took his silence for hesitation.


    "Legs¡­, I will do anything".


    "Tell me everything that I need to do to be your subordinate".


    "I am willing to do anything!"


    "Ahh¡­!" Legs was taken aback.


    "Hell yeah!"


    "Huh?"


    "I ept you!" Legs rified for fear that he would change his mind.


    "I ept you as my subordinate!"


    Heimdall jumped to his feet as his eyes shone excitedly.


    "Thank you, I will never forget this moment all my life!"


    After going over the shocks of today, Core Protector Shanks directed his gaze in the direction where ck Master Einstein and Din escaped towards.


    Then he looked back down at the dead. "We need to bury them¡­"

    "Hehe¡­" Seeing what appeared before him, Legs could only chuckle.


    ''All my suffering at Norman''s hands were worth it!''


    ''The torture, the pain, the muttions¡­, they were all worth it!''


    When he decided to withhold his information advantage from the main organizations of the, waiting for them to umte value, it was a gamble on his part, he was d that the gamble paid.


    Yesterday, he officially became a legend of Darvis.


    Reflecting back on his feats still gave him goosebumps. In a battle were more than 20 Grade C Superhumans died, where a legend like Jon Stones died, this was where he shone and exposed his talent to the whole world.


    Today was the proposed day for the Grade C mass burial.


    Despite it being just a day since it happened, the ruins of the Hellfire Mountains already turned into an iconic location that would be remembered for a long time. The news and results of the battle already spread across the.


    Within this period of one day, Core Protector Shanks took the lead, directing everything and now, the burial would take ce in an hour.


    Legs and his 2 students were prepared in ck attire but before they left, Legs had onest thing to attend to.


    ''Due to the chaos and pressure, I was not able to check it then''.


    ''But now¡­, I can finally see Predator and the other''s current status''.


    Without hesitation, Legs essed his virtual interface.

    ----


    All 3 of Legs''s 3 beasts experienced a crazy power increase. Predator''s was the most ring, acquiring a new affinity rted to probability turned him into an even greater menace in battle.


    Legs''s reaction to the status update was priceless.


    "¡­"


    "Hehe¡­" This was Legs''s reaction.


    "Master, are you ok?" Christensen inclined his head curiously.


    "Ahh¡­, yes, I''m fine, totally fine". Legs stood up as he rubbed his beasts'' fur fondly to show his satisfaction onest time. "Let''s go".


    He led the way outside.

 Chapter 317 Burial

    Like the rolling pages of a book, the days flowed and it was another day.


    Today, the sun was not bright in the skies illuminating the world with it''s radiance. Rather, the skies were gloomy with a lot of clouds, it seemed that rain would soon start drizzling, the atmosphere seemed cold and stale.


    Unlike previous days, to those at the top, today was a solemn day.


    >ROYAL CEMETERY<


    On top one of Ak''s subordinate wolves, Legs looked up at the signpost close to the ruin of the royal pce that was destroyed by Abaddon.


    Behind him, his 2 students also rode on wolves from Ak''s pack.


    They stopped at the entrance to the cemetery then they came down from the wolves and went through the rest journey on foot.


    As they walked through therge cemetery, the skies released its downpour.


    Thud!


    Legs could hear it as his boots hit the wet ground with a sticky texture to it. At this moment, like his 2 students, he was also on a ck attire.


    It was not a suit, tailors in Darvis were not skilled enough to make such stuff yet. Newton and Norman dealing with biotechnology and chemicals was simply an anomaly, these 2 geniuses were far ahead of their era.


    The others in the, mostly the normal humans could only settle for mediocrity and pursue normal boring upations.


    With their limited and neglected knowledge, the tailors were able to make fairly sophisticated leather clothes of any colors, Legs got one of them.


    Alongside his ck leather attire, Legs also wore ck shades.


    As he walked inside the cemetery, he gave off a mysterious vibe.


    In no time, they arrived to meet a scanty graveyard. Originally, only the royal family had the opportunity of being buried in this cemetery but after everything that he experienced 2 days ago, Core Protector Shanks no longer cared.


    After the war, literally every survivor experienced a change, both physically and mentally, they were no longer the same warriors that they were before.


    To the current Core Protector Shanks, all those who died in the war were royalty, they all deserved to be buried here.


    As soon as Legs arrived with his students, it didn''t take long for all the others to arrive. After the crazy battle against Norman and Alexander, 24 Grade C Superhumans died, leaving only 11 behind.


    Legs, de, Christensen, Core Protector Shanks, White me Eleanor, Daemon, Newton, Hunter Master Lydia, Geralt, Heimdall, and Emak.


    After going on their missions and fulfilling it to the best of their abilities, Emak, the Blood Hunter, and Grog returned to the battlefield to fight for their. Like expected, their chances of dying were higher than others.


    Emak survived due to luck, Grog and the Blood Hunter were not as lucky.


    As soon as they all arrived, Core Protector Shanks stood forward.


    Most if not all the Grade C survivors were not used to mass burials like this but to honor the souls of their deadrades, they voluntarily came for this.


    Core Protector Shanks turned to face them. "2 days ago, we fought a brave war".


    "A war to determine the survival of our".


    "A war to determine the survival of our race".


    "We temporarily won the battle, but it was not without sacrifice".


    He looked at all the wooden coffins, they numbered 25. "We sacrificed a lot to secure this hard-earned victory". His voice wasced with emotion.


    "We lost brothers".


    "We lost family".


    "We lost humans".


    He closed his eyes. "I lost a friend".


    As he said this part, Core Protector Shanks looked at the wooden coffin carrying Core Protector Levi. "A loss that I''ll forever live with".


    As he said this, everyone of these Grade C Superhumans experienced different emotions. Even if none of the dead was rted to them, after the emotions of the previous battle, they all felt something.


    de''s eyes remained focused and tight as he looked at his mentor''s coffin.


    Instantly, he saw shbacks.


    A day ago¡­


    de sat alongside his Nine Lives Cat as he curiously looked at the cat. "After being revived by you, I was directly exposed to the nature of your existence and your powers but I''m curious, I want to hear from you, what are you?"


    "Meow!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    de understood. "Your special state is simply a manifestation of Super Energy. I see, it''s just like the way we can harness super power through ss knowledges, but yours is ingrained in you naturally".


    "How many lives do you have left?"


    "Meow!" "Meow!"


    "You have only 5 lives left huh?"


    "Since you sacrificed 2 to save me, that means you''ve died twice before".


    de rubbed his chin. "If your only use is to revive by sacrificing your life, can you perhaps revive someone that is not your host?"


    "Can you revive my mentor?"


    "¡­"


    "Meow!"


    de looked at his master''s coffin with a stone-cold look still on his face. Since he became a Grade C Pugilist, and even more prominent after he inherited Jon Stones'' will, his control over his emotions seemed tighter than ever before.


    Inside his mind though was a different spectacle from his face.


    ''Mentor, I can''t save you¡­, but I will carry on your will''.


    ''I won''t let your death be in vain''.


    ''Norman has been revenged already, only Alexander is remaining''.


    ''One way or another, I will kill him!''


    ''Also, I will carry on your will and recreate the Pugilist Academy. I will singlehandedly prop it up to heights far exceeding its previous peak''.


    ''This, I promise!''


    Even as he made hisst promise to his mentor, de''s emotions finally fluctuated as he remembered something. ''Mom¡­''


    ''I''ve finally avenged you and our tribe''.


    ''The Clown Society''s core is no more''.


    ''I hope you can finally rest at peace in heaven''.


    With that, he went forward without paying attention to the others. Even as the coffin was slowlyid down on the grave, de brought his parting gift, a meticulously crafted sword, his old sword.


    "Poseidon''s Fury, apany my master through his journey in the afterlife".


    He threw it inside.


    Thud!


    With that, de turned around and stood with the others.


    Newton didn''t make his emotions as obvious but his face showed that this powerful Elementalist was in pains. ''I''m sorry Norman''.


    ''I never deserved to be your teacher''.


    ''I am too wed¡­, inadequate¡­''


    He gently clenched his fists. ''Perhaps, in your next life, you''ll have the opportunity to have a teacher that is far better than me''.


    ''I pray you get such a teacher''.


    Newton sped his hands together and paid hisst respects to his student.


    While all the others used their own different entric ways to pay theirst respects, Core Protector Shanks continued speaking.


    "Norman was a creation of our inadequacies as humans".


    "We are too self-centered; we have to be more open and united. This war exposed our ws ringly, we allowed the aliens to toy with us".


    "Next time, I say we should not be so divided".


    "Next time, let''s show them a different facet of humanity".


    "Next time, let''s be united".


    His face turned serious. "It''s the only way we can resist and survive theing Cataclysm".

 Chapter 318 Admiral Zhao

    Core Protector Shanks'' face turned serious. "It''s the only way we can resist and survive theing Cataclysm".


    As he left with his students, these words lingered in Legs'' mind.


    Originally, as a yer in his previous life, he was not exposed to the higher-level decision making in Darvis. Only now as a powerful Grade C Superhuman was he qualified to really know the matters at the top.


    ''So, this is what spurned on the actions of Version 2''.


    Legs was amazed. ''Despite the changes, despite the ripple effects caused by me, Version 2 more or less seems to be going in the same direction''.


    After the end of the battle at the top 2 days ago, while taking time to rest, Legs still kept track of the situation of other parts of the.


    What he discovered was that the fragments of the Clown Society were still fighting. Despite the death of their organization, despite the death of their leaders, these psychopaths were still so adamant in their so-called order of chaos.


    Norman already indoctrinated this so deep in their muscle skulls that it was hard to be erased now, they would rather fight to the death than surrender.


    At this moment, even as the Grade C survivors rested to recover from their exertions in the battle at the top, the rank and file warriors and yers took centerstage. At this moment, tens of thousands of yers shed regrly.


    Most were in his faction and that of the main organizations, while only a daring few remained in the faction of the Clown Society farming experience points.


    In his previous world, towards the end of Version 1, Legs was also part of this group of yers as he farmed for experience points.


    All these were in preparation for the yer tournament that would start immediately after the end of each version, this was where the umtions of the version would be really put to use and the pro clubs would shine.


    Legs sighed as he thought of the future.


    ''If things stay like this, then Version 2 won''t change''.


    ''It would still be The 3rd Cataclysm right?''


    ¡­


    Whoosh!


    The whooshing sound as artificial air was infused in the spaceship reverberated as it left the atmosphere of the.


    With a lost look on his face, Alexander looked around at everyone that surrounded him inside the mainpartment of the Cyclic Cicada.


    The Cyclic Cicada was one of the many Combat Carriers of the Nak Navy, it was the one that General Aztog took in his quest to save his human envoy.


    An oppressive atmosphere was inside the mainpartment at this moment, causing Alexander to feel even more lost and guilty.


    He looked at all the familiar yellow faces in the room.


    Nak warriors had certain differences from humans, their skin was more yellow and sturdier, they had taller and more intimidating physiques, andstly, most of them had single tiny horns that grew on the left side of their foreheads.


    The size of the horn and the number determined the age and ability of a Nak warrior. General Aztog and 3 other Naks were the only ones with 2 horns.


    Alexander desperately looked at the 3 familiar faces. "I was close¡­"


    "I came really close to defeating them¡­"


    "SILENCE!" General Aztog''s voice reverberated like thunder.


    "¡­"


    Alexander went mute instantly.


    As the Combat Carrier ascended further into space, Alexander gave up on defending his case as he looked back onest time at his home.


    When looked at from space, Darvis was spherical like mosts, it''s visuals made it look like any other that could inhabit life. The bright blue, the greenery, this were all signs of a with life.


    ''Will I evere back?''


    ''I really wanted to be the Governor''. These were Alexander''s final words as the Combat Carrier elerated to the base of the Nak Navy under General Aztog.


    The base of the Nak Navy was anchored around the orbit of an asteroid close to Darvis. Since they didn''t know its name before now, the Naks simply called it the Giant Nak Fortress due to its size.


    Orbiting this massive asteroid was the full force under General Aztog. There were 8 active Combat Carriers like the Cyclic Cicada, with 6 additional spaceships, the real Battleships. Of these 5 Battleships, one of them was special.


    Towering at a ridiculous size of over a kilometer long, this was the gship of General Aztog''s fleet, this monstrous entity of metal was called the Golden Cicada!


    Apart from the battleship, there were 2 logistics spaceship and a mining ship.


    The Cyclic Cicada stopped at a fair distance from the Golden Cicada.


    Whoosh!


    2 shuttles wereunched the next moment from the Combat Carrier towards the Battleship. In no time, General Aztog and his entourage boarded his gship.


    Standing at the deck of the Battleship was General Aztog''s assistant.


    The General''s eyes constricted as he looked at him, this was uncharacteristic of his assistant.


    "What?" His voice boomed.


    The assistant fidgeted a bit. "Call from headquarters!"


    The General''s eyes widened.


    Thud! Thud!


    General Aztog was soon out of their sight as he marched inside.


    The assistant turned his sights to the others. "You all too".


    Alexander instantly felt his heart skip a beat. ''Me too?''


    ¡­<novelnext></novelnext>


    The tension in the mainpartment of the Golden Cicada at this moment was so oppressive and suffocating, Alexander could barely keep himself from passing out.


    At this moment, a virtual projection hovered before them. The Nak warrior that was projected had an intimidating aura,pared to General Aztog, this warrior''s horns were longer and far thicker.


    "Admiral Zhao!"


    On their knees, every single one of the 5 Nak warriors greeted, Alexander imitated them so as to not stand out too much.


    Admiral Zhao had a neutral look on his face as he looked at them.


    He casually spoke. "The Minerva Star System has be more active as ofte, from what I know, Grade C Supers die every day".


    "The Ackermanns discovered a rich mineral with high-grade exotics".


    "At this moment, our warriors are locked in battle with them in a bid to at least seize a part of the mining rights over the new".


    "Our progress had been slow". His eyes twinkled.


    This Admiral briefly threw a nce at the human.


    "¡­" Alexander froze immediately.


    ''Despite it being a virtual projection¡­, this aura! This aura¡­!''


    He was shocked. ''A real Grade B warrior?!''


    ''No, it''s even more than that¡­''


    ''A-A Grade A Super?!'' Alexander was losing it.


    "I sent you on a confidential mission to take over a backwater and mine the Arcanite metal in it". Admiral Zhao''s voice reverberated without any emotion. "Give me an update of your progress".


    General Aztog clenched his fists. "I''m sorry¡­"


    BOOM!


    They didn''t even know where the energy erupted from, it simply mmed into their chests like a gravity hammer as blood flowed out of their noses.


    Alexander grasped his chest as he found it hard to breath. "Ha¡­!"


    "Ha¡­!"


    "SILENCE!"


    Alexander grasped his mouth and muffled every single sound.


    A neutral look remained on the Admiral''s face. "Continue".


    General Aztog wiped the blood away from his nose and continued, this time he no longer beat around the bush. "I failed you".


    "The resistance from the was more than I expected, I never expected humans toe at such a timing, I deserve death".


    "Yes, you do".


    Whoosh!


    Blood flowed as a deep scar was left on the General''s face, a few centimeters more and his face would have been cut in twain. General Aztog only grimaced, he dared not grab his face to suppress the pain.


    The Admiral no longer beat around the bush, his eyes turned sharp.


    "I am tired of your constant mediocrity".


    "There''s been a change of ns, our faction needs the Arcanite vein more than ever before now, I will be sending a Champion your way".


    "Onana is a Grade C Champion of the new generation".


    "He will be sent here through an ultra-range teleportation portal".


    "He will help you subdue this backwater".


    "This time¡­" He red at Aztog. "I need results or your head".


    "How much time do I have?"


    "A decade at maximum!"


    "That''s too short¡­!"


    BOOM!


    General Aztog coughed more blood.


    "You have a decade to take over this".


    "Do not dare fail me, they must feel the wrath of a Nak Navy through a 3rd Cataclysm and for the safety of your head, I hope this is thest".


    Bzzz!


    The virtual projection finally disintegrated.


    General Aztog took a deep breath and bowed. "Acknowledged, Admiral!"

 Chapter 319 A Huge Windfall

    2 weeks after the battle of the Hellfire Mountains.


    Inside a huge building, a group of yers enthusiastically worked on different logistical details like they were preparing for a war. Some carried weapons into the mansion, others carried things like potions around.


    All these were loots from different battles that had been fought.


    At the top of this building was a signpost with words written in bold.


    >BLUE BROOK GUILD<


    This huge building had 3 main structures, the warehouse, the watchtower, and the strategy chambers. Like it''s name suggested, the warehouse was where all the war supplies and loot of the Blue Brook Guild were stored.


    The watchtower was where elite yers of the Blue Brook Guild stood watch for enemy guild yers. At this level of the game, guild wars already started.


    As Version 1 slowly came to an end with the defeat of the Clown Society like predicted, all the game guilds seemed to enter an era of frenzied development.


    Most of the yers could not take part in the battle of the Hellfire Mountains, this was because the characters involved in the battle were too high-leveled for them to fight against but they could do much more.


    Fortunately, the sh between the Clown Society and the main organizations did not just stop at the decisive battle of the Hellfire Mountains.


    After the conclusion of that battle, the ripple effects spread far and wide.


    The psychopaths of the Clown Society were driven into a frenzy.


    "The Almighty Clown cannot be dead!"


    ? "He is Immortal!"


    "He is the envoy of the God of Chaos!"


    "He only died temporarily so he could go to hell and obtain the key to hell and subdue the demons and Asuras of hell!"


    "He woulde back leading an army of Demons and Asuras to cause even more damage!"


    "Fear not Psychopaths but this time shall only be temporary!"


    "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy shall surelye in the morning, this should be our song!"


    "Stay firm because we''ll rise again when our Almighty rises!"


    "Prove yourself worthy to be among the army of the Almighty Clown when he rises!"


    With foolishly crazy slogans like this, the psychopaths hauled themselves at anyone who tried to stop them with a crazy enthusiasm andck of fear for death.


    They truly believed in the crazy sh*t that they spouted for bravado and courage; their thought process was borderline crazy!


    After the battle of the Hellfire Mountains, all the Grade C Superhumans temporarily entered a period of seclusion to recover from all their exertions.


    During that battle, they were all pushed past their limits and now they had to recover. With the Grade C Superhumans recovering, the rank and file warriors of Darvis including the yers finally had their opportunity to cause havoc.


    They finally had their opportunity to be the main yers for once.


    All the main yer guilds recognized the opportunity, this was the time to build and they did not hesitate to invest into it.


    They spent all their Darvis Credit umtions to purchasend and build permanent sites for their guilds which served as their base of operations.


    From there, they engaged in this war with gusto.


    The desperate psychopaths of the Clown Society were the perfect candidates to farm experience from. Killing them not only gave experience, it also gave money since most of them already had bounties on their heads.


    Not only that, they could loot the weapons and treasures of the psychopaths. Apart from all that, probably the best benefit of farming the psychopaths for experience points was the increased favorability with the main organizations.


    By now, the theory of a certain yer was already proven right, literally every yer now believed that Legs was the main character of Version 1.


    And since they were still in Version 1, thousands of yers roamed towards him and entered his faction since his faction limit increased after his achievements.


    All the guilds were nowpeting in a period of open war.


    All these were in preparations for the first edition of the Darvis yer tournament that was scheduled to start in less than a month.


    Inside the Blue Brook Guild base, at this moment, Blue River was inside the strategy chambers with his assistants.


    "Keep the looting in!"


    "Send more members to go help our warriors in the Timbend Shelter!"


    "¡­!"


    "¡­!"


    He barked orders at the speed of a machine gun, Blue River was unlike the same Blue River who was poaching yers a few months ago.


    "Boss, yers from the nearby Darkstar Guild are preparing to attack our base!"


    "Mann our defenses, prepare to give those f*ckers hell!"


    "Boss, we are short on supplies in the Northern Front!"


    "Boss, the yers¡­!"


    "Boss, we are¡­!"


    Amid all the reports, Blue River soon received another report of high priority.


    "Boss, we just received an emergency message from our pro team. Sword God Raining Sword''s raid party was ambushed by the Berserker God''s raid party!"


    "F*ck!" Blue River cursed. "Those bastards!"


    "Horny Assassin!" He yelled.


    "Hehe¡­, Manchester f*cking United!" Horny Assassinughed heartily.


    "Yes boss, I''ming". He finally responded.


    "Use the mini-teleporters, lead a team and go reinforce the pro team".


    "Yes boss!" Horny Assassin was enthusiastic.


    Bzzz!


    In no time, he was gone.


    ¡­<novelnext></novelnext>


    "You shameless bastard!" Raining Sword gritted his teeth as he fended the attacks from his enthusiastic opponent.


    "Hahaha¡­!" Desert Gustughed carefreely. "We''re simr in that!"


    "Nonsense! I''m not as shameless as you!"


    "Say anything to soothe your ego!"


    Despite being extremely incensed at the shameless acts of his opponent, Raining Sword remained calm enough to analyze his situation.


    After discovering a hidden base of the remnants of the Clown Society, he and his team went in without hesitation toy waste to the psychopaths.


    They almost won already when the shameless Fish Trout team jumped into the fray with Desert Gust shamelessly leading the charge enthusiastically. They didn''t juste with their pro team; they brought other yers along.


    At this moment, Raining Sword was fending off Desert Gust even as the other yers from the Fish Trout team dashed in to take part in the loots.


    They were outnumbered, he took deep breaths to calm his rage.


    He stayed patient until reinforcement finally came, even as Horny Assassin shouted his slogan enthusiastically, he finally made his move.


    The next moment, he called. "Ghost Sentry,e let''s show this bastard what it means to face the Blue Autumn Team!"


    Without a word, Ghost Sentry left the others and charged towards his Captain''s side. Both of them instantly became in sync as soon as he arrived.


    "Combination Attack: Continuous Attacks; Ghost and Rain!"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Desert Gust was taken aback by the power behind these strikes. "F*ck! Cheat! Cheat! Cheat!"


    "You''re cheating!"


    Raining Sword and Ghost Sentry did not pay him any attention as they focused on killing this troublesome yer.


    "So shameless! I dare you to fight me on a one vs one!"


    Raining Sword already developed his mental defenses against his rival''s taunts, but the next moment, Desert Gust pulled a different move.


    He dashed back in retreat and suddenly called out.


    "My boy Saber Tongue, make your debut let''s show these motherf*ckers the true dao of trash talking!"


    Feeling Desert Gust''s confidence, Raining Sword briefly shuddered.


    He had seen the new yer before, but he thought he was simply a random member of the Fish Smokers Guild that followed their pro yers to take part in their raid party, he didn''t expect this yer to be a pro yer also.


    "Not only you recruited prodigies, hehe¡­!" Desert Gustughed.


    The next moment, Saber Tongue dashed into the battlefield.


    Bam!


    Saber Tongue wielded his single Saber and unleashed a wide sh!


    "Senior, I''ve heard so much about you!"


    Bam!


    "You''re my mentor''s rival, so cool!"


    Bam!


    "What''s your astrological sign?!"


    "¡­"


    Bam!


    "Won''t you answer me or can''t you answer? Hmm, are you deaf?!"


    "¡­"


    Raining Sword was already getting a headache. ''Another maniac like Desert Gust, a double menace!''


    "Are you really deaf¡­?"


    "Shut the f*ck up!" Raining Sword exploded.


    Bam!


    "Hehe¡­" Desert Gust chuckled heartily. "That''s my boy, you''re doing good, even I was not able to annoy him at my first try".


    "Let''s show them the true power of trash talking!"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    "Take this!"


    "Take that!"


    "Eat that!"


    "F*ck that!"


    "You motherf*cker!"


    "Ugly piglet!"


    "¡­"


    Raining Sword was speechless. "You shameless f*cker!"


    In the end, the raid ended with both parties taking each half of the loot, Raining Sword was left fuming at the end.


    "Hehe¡­" Desert Gust chuckled.

 Chapter 320 Plans For Growth

    "Bblu¡­!"


    A bright smile bloomed across Christensen''s face as he carried the baby.


    During the final parts of the battle of Hellfire Mountains, as Legs was unleashed and as he started his rampage, someone had to take care of Uranus. Since de yed an essential part in the battle, this role fell to Christensen.


    Christensen did not shirk from the responsibility; he took it seriously.


    Now, after 2 weeks staying with them, Uranus already developed a favorite.


    "Uranus, how are you today?"


    "You want to y?"


    "Bubuwa!"


    Christensen''s smile grew even brighter at that as he waved a warrior doll before the baby''s reach. "You want to y?"


    "Bubu¡­dada!" Uranus suddenly eximed.


    Christensenughed at the Titan baby''s cute disy but he still tried to correct him. "No, Uranus, I am not dada, dada is in his room".


    "Say Uncle".


    "¡­" Uranus looked at him with a confused look on his face.


    Christensen smiled; he was patient. "Uncle¡­, un¡­cle, say Uncle!"


    Uranus tilted his head.


    "Kuku!" He cheered.


    Christensen cheered alongside the Titan baby and pped for him.


    Since the introduction of the Titan baby into his life, Christensen seemed to unlock another talent of his that he didn''t know he had before, babysitting!


    Hearing the story behind Uranus fascinated this Summoner to no end.


    Unlike other human babies that he had seen and held; Uranus was so different. Apart from his red skin and pronounced muscles for a baby, Uranus developed so much faster than a normal human baby.


    Today, Uranus was supposed to be only 2 weeks old in a figurative term but despite all these, Uranus could already crawl on all fours.


    Not just that, ording to Legs, Uranus said dada on the first day of his life! This was apletely crazy feat.


    From these little details, it was clear that Uranus was different from the normal human baby, this and other reasons were why Christensen was attracted to the tiny cute Titan baby, he yed with him.


    "Hihihi¡­" Uranus giggled heartily as his uncle yed with him.


    After a few minutes, Uranus suddenly tilted his head to the only other person in the sitting room of the inn that they lodged.


    He seemed to be in a deep state of introspection and this attracted the baby.


    Uranus'' eyes constricted in curiosity then he pointed at him. "Kuku?"


    Christensen smiled. "Yes, de is your uncle too".


    "Kuku!"


    Despite Christensen''s strength, Uranus was surprisingly able to quickly squirm out of his grasp as he crawled towards his uncle. Feeling the baby''s approach, de''s face already turned awkward and unexpected.


    Uranus crawled before him and looked at him with big puppy eyes.


    "Kuku!" He stretched one of his arm towards him.


    "¡­" de was speechless.


    Christensen eruptedughing at the sight. "de, don''t be such a joy killer, the baby is seeking attention, carry him".


    "Can''t you carry him?" de had a troubled look on his face.


    "I already carried him once; he wants yourpany now".


    "Kuku!" Uranus cheered.


    de grimaced.<novelnext></novelnext>


    In the end, left with no choice, he carried the Titan baby. As Christensenughed and taunted his junior apprentice brother even as Uranus kept on giggling at the attention, inside his room, Legs focused on his thoughts.


    Seated cross-legged inside his room, Legs had a reflection.


    He had a reflection of the past 6 months of his life, and most especially, he had a reflection of the battle of Hellfire Mountains.


    In that battle, Legs literally broke his limits multiple times.


    Norman''s achievements and Alexander''s eventual appearance pushed the stakes to the very highest, but this increased his potential gains even more. Fortunately, in the end, he had thestugh,ing out of it victorious.


    ''I won the battle and it''s a cause of celebration but¡­, I didn''t win as a Summoner''. Legs felt a little troubled. ''I won as a Battle Controller''.


    Originally, Legs was a practical person who believed in results no matter the means he used to get them but this time, it troubled him. ''It''s good that I won the battle, but me resulting to Maximus'' magic showed mecking as a Summoner''.


    ''I can''t result to the Battle Controller subss all the time, especially when I have not mastered it and can''t use it on a consistent basis yet''.


    Fulfilling all the requirements to make use of the Battle Controller subss in the previous battle was aplete fluke, Legs had no confidence that he would be able to control battle situations in the future to his favor.


    ''Considering that the next Version is probably the 3rd Cataclysm, I need to prepare as much as possible and the best way is to increase my strength and basics as a Summoner''.


    Legs broke everything down and viewed his options.


    ''After Predator''s breakthrough, all my beasts grew stronger''.


    ''Predator''s was probably the most drastic since he unlocked a new Affinity and one rted to a vague element like probability''.


    ''Even in my previous life, I don''t think I''ve seen an affinity rted to probability, it''s potential is probably unlimited''.


    ''Did Predator unlock it because of his infinite potential?''


    Legs was curious and his thought processes were many.


    He soon narrowed down on one. ''Predator has been nagging me for weeks that he intends to return to the Nightmare Beast Ind to go see his ancestors, perhaps it''s a good thing, they may know better about the probability affinity''.


    ''I''ll allow him to go since they don''t seem to allow a human in''.


    ''Also, for Ak, after bing an Emperor Wolf, he now has the foundation to rapidly expand his pack''. Legs'' eyes twinkled like stars. ''When I''m ready, perhaps we''ll go on a rapid wolf expansion spree in the beast ne''.


    ''With his vastly improved leadership abilities, he can lead a muchrger army of wolves without being overwhelmed''.


    ''Getting Ak was really a genius move on my part''. Legs ttered himself.


    ''As for Bran, after bing a Void Lord, everything changes''. Legs grinned. ''Now, I can go to the Void Dimension alongside him''.


    Just the thought excited Legs. ''There are so many specialties, materials, and beasts that can only be found in the Void Dimension".


    ''With this, I now have a much bigger choice range for getting raw materials to make my potions and perhaps even for choosing my next contracted beast''.


    His eyes glinted. ''I can''t wait to go''.


    ''Lucky is also there, aftering back from her inheritance expedition, I have not gotten the chance to quiz her about her encounters''.


    ''All that matters is that she came back much stronger than before''.


    ''I have to know what she experienced though; it may help me in the future''.


    ''Also, I need to getpatible and strong Spirit Beasts for all of them''.


    Despite all these priorities that Legsid down after going through his thoughts, he could not act on any of them yet because he had something more important that he had to take care of.


    After a dy of a week, the rescheduled Grey world gathering was today. But beforemencing it, he had more things that he needed to check.


    ''I''ve not thoroughly explored the Grey World since breaking through''.


    His eyes twinkled with curiosity. ''I need to explore it to see all the new changes and understand everything that I can do with it''.

 Chapter 321 Exploring The Gray World

    >Dear Earthling, if you''re reading this then it means that my theory was sessful and I am not thest reincarnator from earth that will be sent here<


    >Nice to meet you buddy, being an only reincarnator is terrifying<


    >My name is Maximus, I am a professional game developer<


    >I died when an inexplicable explosion ravaged me, my fellow game developers, and our employers on a meeting<


    >Let''s put the introduction aside, let''s get to business. ording to my calctions, there''s a high chance that only those in the explosion had the chance of reincarnation which means you''re either a colleague or my superior<


    >ording to my estimates, you''ll likely inherit my developer package, I created the gray world<


    >Lol, as a game developer and an avid fan of the Lord of the Mysteries book, I wanted to create a simr advantage for myself in the game<


    >F*ck that explosion though, I could not enjoy it before I died<


    >Since reincarnating, my main obsession was discovering the mystery behind reincarnation. I never thought reincarnation was real before I was reincarnated<


    >Reincarnation brought more questions about the nature of our universe. Was the Big Bang Theory just nonsense? Was there really a superior being, a God that created us all and is he the one who made us capable of reincarnation?<


    >Or, is reincarnation simply a natural phenomenon?<


    >If there is a God, why did he make us reincarnate? What is his motive?<


    >I put all my time into finding clues before I left my beginner. I couldn''t find much, but I discovered clues about something else<


    >If I''m not wrong, there was a reincarnator who came before me<


    >My question is are there more reincarnators before me and are there more after me? If you''re reading this, it at least means that there''s more after me<


    >I couldn''t find more clues before I left my beginner<


    >If you''re reading this, I''ll like us to meet one day<


    >When you enter space, look for me. To distinguish myself from others, I gave myself some iconic monikers to use. I go by either Maximus, or Klein Moriarty, or Donald Trump, I doubt others would be connected with all 3 names<


    >Goodluck brother, I really hope we get to meet someday<


    On returning to the grey world, the first thing that Legs did was to go through the letter that was left behind by the reincarnator that came before him.


    After reading the letter, he arrived at one conclusion.


    ''Me and Maximus have more inmon than I thought''.


    ''Our first instincts were to know the mystery behind our reincarnation''.


    Legs chuckled. ''Perhaps, this is the normal reaction of any reincarnator''.


    After reading Maximus'' letter thoroughly, there was one predominant feeling that Legs felt, satisfaction.


    It was that satisfaction of discovering that you were not a lone wolf Afterall.


    Since his reincarnation, he thought that he was alone as the only reincarnator in this world but discovering Maximus and seeing his encouraging words warmed his heart.


    ''I will get stronger''.


    ''I will find you one day!'' Legs vowed.


    After reading the letter, Legs finally rxed and could now give time to explore the changes in the grey world.


    The first thing that attracted his attention was the grey mist balls through which he summoned all the members of his gathering.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Apart from the familiar grey balls that kept pulsing, most especially Sophia''s, Legs was surprised to detect 2 entirely different grey balls.


    These 2 grey balls looked the same like the others, but they gave him a different vibe, Legs was shocked as he felt this. "This¡­?!"


    "I can now summon members from others?!" He was bbergasted!


    "Hehe¡­, I was also shocked". Aaron chuckled in a good-natured manner.


    "Seeing the capabilities of this world, I begin to wonder more, how powerful is it exactly at its full potential and who created it?" This Elementalist showed his wonder, even a Grade A Super like him was amazed.


    Legs did not pay attention to Aaron, discovering this new capability literally set off bombs in his head as his brain geared into overdrive.


    He could already think of a thousand ways that he could exploit this.


    "Hehe¡­" Legs chuckled in an eerie manner.


    "Good!"


    "Good¡­, I love this!"


    He turned to face Aaron. "Show me Aaron! What else?"


    With Aaron taking the lead, Legs walked deeper into the world of grey mist. He soon walked past the table where Maximus'' letter was kept.


    Bzzz!


    Legs was taken aback.


    As soon as he left where the table was kept, it was like he broke a barrier as his body seemed to pass through an ethereal portal. The mist instantly cleared up extensively before him, he had a clearer view of his surroundings.


    With wide opened eyes, Legs looked around him.


    The table upied just a small part of a whole.


    "This is a room!" Legs dered the obvious.


    This was a luxuriously designed room. With bright lights illuminating everywhere, for a second, Legs thought that he already left the grey world.


    It was the familiar feeling of the mist obstructing his senses that made him confirm that he was still in the grey world, he looked around in amazement.


    This room was massive. At one corner of the room, there was apartputerized bed, Legs recognized it instantly due to the many space expeditions that he took part on in his previous life as a yer.


    Apart from the bed, the chairs, and nutrient pack box that was in the corner, the room was fairly in except something else that attracted his attention.


    Legs walked forward with amazement in his eyes.


    At the very front of this room, there was afort chair that looked extremely close to a pilot chair. Before the chair hovered 5 virtual screens,puters with humungous processors that were simply waiting to be activated.


    By now, Legs'' eyes already widened to it''s very limits likenterns.


    "Is this¡­?!" He was shocked.


    "Is this¡­ a Spaceship Cabin?!"

 Chapter 322 Candidate John

    Legs essed one of the pulsing gray mist balls.


    "Your Excellency, the Hermit, please answer my prayers".


    Through the gray world, Legs'' vision was clearer than ever before. He could see the beautiful dark-haireddy kneeled, fervently praying towards him as she disclosed the information that she managed to get.


    Despite the fact that this scene happened more than a few weeks ago, Legs could still see everything in such a realistic manner like it was now.


    Through his wider vision, Legs was also able to see the Golden Retriever.


    Sophia''s beautiful voice flowed into his ears like a floating luby.


    "Your Excellency, like you ordered, I have kept an eye on my brother".


    "Through my father''s connections, despite breaking all traces to us already after his real identity was exposed, I was still able to track him".


    "I believe that he escaped into the wild alongside ck Master Einstein''s entourage. Through the tracking measure that we employed to keep track of him, I am fairly confident that if used right, we may be able to track him down".


    "I humbly await your orders and directions".


    "Also, the remnants of the royal family are safe after the war of Hellfire Mountains, Core Protector Shanks already provided shelter for them".


    With that, the connection was finally cut off.


    Legs rubbed his chin. "Since the war, I''ve never really put much thought into it but Einstein and Din being on the loose is an important subject".


    "I need to bring this up the next time I meet Core Protector Shanks".


    Legs did not neglect the other pulsing grey mist balls. After projecting his consciousness into them, he was able to hear the information that their recipients presented to him, they were mostly redundant information though.


    After going through all the information, Legs settled down on his throne. Instantly as his mind rxed, his brain shed back to what he saw.


    The reality that the gray mist was probably inside a Spaceship shocked him to no end. ''Damn, but Lord of the Mysteries was not like this''.


    ''I thought Maximus got his inspiration from there, what the hell is this?''


    Like most people, Legs was afraid of the unknown the most.


    What he discovered today increased the mystery of the gray world to him. ''If the gray world is part of a Spaceship, what was Maximus'' motivation to make it? Did he just make it for fun and as a show of bravado?''


    Legs rejected this immediately. ''Maximus may be funny at times but when ites to his passion like a Special Developer Package, he''ll never make fun with it, there''s probably a deeper meaning and importance to this gray world''.


    The more he discovered, the more curious he became.


    By now, Legs already recognized that thinking too much about it was futile since he won''te closer to finding out the truth. ''The only way to know more about the gray world is to be stronger?''


    ''Maximus! You''re so perverted man!''


    ''How stronger do I need to be to ess it all?''


    It took some getting used to but Legs finally managed to shake off the feeling that he was probably inside a Spaceship. Besides, he was already thinking of a lot of things that he could do with the Spaceship Cabin.


    From the little that he saw, he had no doubts that this was a special cabin with modern facilities, the cabin alone could help him a lot in myriad ways.


    Legs put all these behind now though, this was because he had other things that upied his mind. Legs looked at the 2 new avable grey mist balls that radiated a feeling like they were from another world.


    Legs rubbed his palms in anticipation, he adjusted his mood, then he finally did the thing as he extended his senses into the gray balls.


    Bzzz!


    "John, you lowlife hacker!"


    "Because of you, theary Guards are nowing after us!"


    "We''re done, my rtionship with you is done!"


    "But boss¡­"


    "Don''t boss me, you''re now on your own!"


    "But boss, I can''t escape the alone!"


    "¡­" His boss ignored him as he charged away with a special box.


    John stood petrified, his whole world seemed to turn dark instantly.


    His long ck hair that covered arge part of his face waved in the wind as he looked at the busy district in a daze. In no time, his boss was already out of his vision, having blended with the army of pedestrians.


    "He abandoned me?" He quizzed himself.


    "Hahaha¡­, he abandoned me?" John seemed to lose it.


    "After everything that I did for him, after helping take down the Mercenary Space Cruiser, after taking on the hardest job of hacking into their database and scrambling all their chances of resistance, that lowlife scam abandoned me?"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "After ying the biggest role in stealing the energy reactor, that motherless f*cker abandoned me? Hahaha¡­!" This feeble looking human seemed to have lost it, he mocked and cursed his boss.


    From the gray world, a certain human had an amazed look on his face. ''Wow, I can now see what is happening to my targets!''


    ''When I pulled in Altan and Sophia, I didn''t see what was happening to them''.


    ''Also, that box, is that not a Battleship-grade energy reactor?'' Legs'' eyes literally lit up with stars at that point.


    His virtual interface suddenly lit up a notification.


    -----


    [You have triggered a Title Upgrade Mission: Space Thief!]


    [Mission Details: You already have the title of a Thief after your exploits in stealing. Upgrade it further to be a Space Thief. Using your influence as the master of the gray world, steal the Battleship-grade energy reactor, prove that distance is not a barrier and be a Space Thief!]


    [Mission Reward: Space Thief; Battleship-grade energy reactor; 10,000,000 Experience Points!]


    ----


    "¡­"


    Legs was speechless, his eyes widened.


    Whoosh!


    Legs turned his attention back.


    Amid John''s regrets, his attention was snapped back when he saw the dreadedary Guards descending in their mechs. The formidable looking mechs spooked this hacker as they descended in a formation to box him in.


    "This is theary Guard Mech Unit".


    "John, surrender¡­"


    In a panic, this genius hacker didn''t even listen to the words of theary Guards as he turned around and charged into the army of pedestrians.


    Seeing theary Guard mechs,motion entered the district as the pedestrians rushed for cover. Taking advantage of the chaos, John was able to run far but he could not escape since he was already locked on by the mech''s sensors.


    Through the satellitework, they were able to smoothly trace him.


    After 10 minutes, he was cornered to a wall.


    The street that he ran into was a dead-end, John faced despair.


    "John Gates, ce your hands above your head and wait to be restrained".


    "Do not resist, you have 5 mech Rifles aimed at you at this moment".


    "Kid, surrender peacefully, don''t do what you''ll regret".


    John sighed; his shoulders slumped in defeat. Slowly, he turned and raised both his hands but it was in this process that he suddenly felt an outside influence.


    "Do you want to live?"


    "If you want, all you need is say yes".


    Legs originally thought of borate words that he could use, including pretentious catchphrases to increase his stature as the Almighty Hermit but in the end, he settled for simple. A lot of reasons necessitated his decision.


    John felt goosebumps instantly on hearing this voice!


    Instantly, a lot of thoughts filled this hacker''s mind. ''Is it a Psychic? Is it one of those damn scam Psychics? Or is this a prank by theary Guards?''


    ''No!'' He rejected all his previous thoughts.


    ''This power I''m feeling, it definitely cannot be fooled by a Psychic!''


    "John, stay put and wait to be restrained!"


    Hearing this instantly pushed John over the edge. ''Afterall, I was already screwed over by boss, nothing worse can happen to me''.


    ''The worst is I''ll feel embarrassed at being scammed''.


    ''Yes, I ept!" He yelled in his mind.


    Bzzz!


    Instantly, John was pulled away out of his reality.


    This was not just his consciousness this time, John''s body as a whole was pulled away. All theary Guards were shocked as their mechs sent out rms, they could not detect how this happened.


    This was one of thetest abilities of the gray world.

 Chapter 323 Space Thief

    Bzzz!


    A pair of eyes blinked open as he limatized to his new surroundings.


    "Ahh¡­!" John jumped in shock.


    Jumping was not enough, this spooked superhuman was so shocked by his new surroundings that he instinctively went on the run!


    Without even looking back, John''s long and skinny legs enabled him to eat yards of space in thisrge and epassing space of the gray world.


    As he ran in a panic, Legs observed him carefully from his throne.


    He was part of the reason that caused John to panic. Despite voluntarily epting, John did not expect to be pulled to a grey and gloomy world like this with an existence like a god sitting on top of a throne.


    Legs'' nonchnt posture on top his throne spooked the living hell out of this hacker, what the hell was this supposed to mean?!


    He didn''t sign up for this!


    "Ahhh¡­!"


    "Let me out!"


    "Let me out now!"


    Legs calmly observed him.


    ''A Virtual Mechanic¡­''


    ''Dark and sleepy eyeballs¡­''


    ''A skinny frame¡­''


    His eyes twinkled. ''This guy definitely hacks and sabotage ships for a living!''


    He was exasperated. In his previous life, there were nock of yers who took the mechanic ss only to put their full focus on the pirate life where they could hack and sabotage ships as virtual mechanics.


    They were not always sessful but the thrill was real nheless.


    "Ahh¡­, Daddy¡­!"


    "Let me out¡­!"


    ''¡­''


    Legs'' eyes twitched. ''This guy¡­''


    ''Did I beat off more than I can chew?''


    ''A cheap pirate like him, damn, it''s all because of that damn interface mission!''


    Despite ming his interface, Legs no longer hesitated. Afterall, despite this fellow''s embarrassing reaction, he was still a bonafide Grade D super.


    With his much greater authority over the gray world, Legs simply needed to mobilize his power and dilute it into the surroundings to take full control over the gray world. He could freely manipte reality in the gray world.


    As John sprinted away, all of a sudden, to the shock of this pirate, despite iling his long skinny legs as much as possible, he was no longer going forward.


    His eyes widened. "I-I''m being pulled back?!"


    "Ahhh¡­, no¡­!!!"


    "SILENCE!"


    Having amplified it deliberately, in the gray world, Legs'' voice as the Hermit reverberated like thunder as instantly John stopped on his steps.


    Sweat rapidly flowed down this pirate''s face.


    He didn''t dare to look at this entity in the face, he sped his hands together while rubbing them furiously as he went on his knees and bent his head. "Oh Almighty Entity, my unworthy self has trespassed thy sanctuary".


    "Do not taint thy hands with the filthy blood of a pig like me".


    "Let my presence not taint thy holy sanctuary".


    "I implore you to send me back to the unholy ce where I came from".


    He hit his head against the gray floor 3 times before keeping his head bowed.


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    The sudden improvisation left Legs gobsmacked. ''The f*ck!''


    He didn''t keep his silence for long though, no matter what happened, he had to keep his sacred identity as the Almighty Hermit.


    "What is your name?" His voice was gentler now but still filled with power.


    "John". He answered immediately and gulped. "John Gates".


    "You have caught my attention".


    "After feeling your fervent desire to live, and your talents as a Virtual Mechanic, I have found a use for you".


    John dared not refute, he flowed along as he hit his head against the gray floor one more time. "Thy servant is humbled by thy offer".


    "¡­" Legs'' lips twitched furiously.


    On his throne, he remained impassive.


    "To prove yourself capable of joining my Gctic gathering, I have a mission to test yourpetence".


    "Thy servant is at thy service oh Great One".


    "You are a Virtual Mechanic, prove yourpetence to me by locating your master and retrieving the box that is with him".


    "You have an hour to achieve this".


    "Do this and be a part of my gathering".<novelnext></novelnext>


    John''s brain geared into overdrive as he rapidly thought. He didn''t doubt Legs'' sovereignty once, the power that emanated from this entity could not be faked, what he instead thought of was his ability to aplish this in an hour.


    "Do not worry, I will bless you with my gray hallow".


    "Theary Guards will be unable to detect you".


    This was another new ability of the gray world that Legs epted.


    As soon as he heard that, John no longer hesitated. "I ept thy generous offer oh Great One".


    Legs let him leave.


    Bzzz!


    ¡­


    When John opened his eyes again, he was back.


    "Blink¡­!" He blinked as he looked at his body from head to toe.


    He touched his face as horror finally came over me. "That entity, is that¡­? Did I just meet a god?"


    "Or, is that one of the powerful Supers at the very pinnacle?"


    "Did I meet a Grade S Superhuman?"


    John''s thoughts flowed chaotically like the codes of a highlyplicated program, but he soon organized them. "I need toplete this mission".


    "I mustplete this mission!"


    What shocked him most was that like he was told, a gray mist slightly surrounded his body at this moment. This gray mist prevented his presence from being detected by the powerful sensors of the nearbyary Guard mechs.


    "Awesome!" John was hyped.


    He moved fast, he essed an inte caf¨¦ in no time as he paid for it and took over control of a randomputer. He cracked his knuckles before going to work, his fingers moved like deadly vipers as he hit at the virtual keyboard.


    2 minutester, he got his target.


    His boss was in the process of booking a train to go to the nearest Spaceship station to make his escape out of the.


    His eyes gleamed. "Got you!"


    ¡­


    "Ha!"


    "Ha!


    The man''s breathing was unsteady as he stole nces around him. His ck suit was already stained with dust and other particles due to his hasty escape, at this moment, he was grasping a ck box inside his suit.


    After an agonizing wait, the train door finally opened, he did not hesitate as he went inside to sit down. He waited for the train to move.


    As the train driver addressed the passengers, giving vital information in preparation to move, this man urged the driver in his mind to finish faster.


    The train driver was soon done as the train geared to life. Just as the train was about to move, the sound of an impact reverberated.


    Bam!


    "This is the Konot IVary Guard, stop the train!"


    "I repeat, stop the train!"


    The man inside the train turned pale, without hesitation, he charged out of the train. Theary Guard mechs instantly focused on him as they rushed towards him but he used his previous strategy, running into the pedestrians.


    With his strength as a Pugilist, it was too easy for him to carve into them and blend into theirrge numbers, giving the mechs many problems.


    Hidden in the pedestrian horde, he kept his head low while looking left and right as he escaped in a random direction.


    "Boss¡­"


    The sound softly floated into his ears.


    Shocked, he turned to the left. Almost at the same time that he turned, someone brushed into him. On turning back, he saw the skinny individual on baggy clothes seamlessly integrate into the horde, he lost him instantly.


    "Who is that?" He was confused.


    As he asked, he instinctively patted his chest and his hand froze.


    A chill crawled down his spine as he opened his suit and looked inside, there was nothing to be seen, the box was gone!


    The man raised his head as he looked into the crowd where the skinny civilian seemed to have disappeared in, he was already long gone.


    The man remembered the voice that softly drifted into his ears.


    "Boss¡­"


    He shook in rage. "JOHN¡­!!!"

    Legs was bbergasted at the efficiency; John was done in 20 minutes!


    "Damn, that was smooth".

 Chapter 324 The Gray World Gathering, The New Member, John The Virtual Mechanic

    Bzzz! Bzzz!


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit!" Like usual, the Star''s cheerful voice was the first sound that graced the gathering.


    Unlike previous times though, her voice was much more enthusiastic this time. After everything that happened in the, and the incredible role that their gathering yed in it, the Star felt proud.


    Since 3 years ago when she just came into contact with the Hermit, her life had changed a lot. Not only did she grow, she already experienced a lot of things that shaped her into apetent Elementalist.


    The World''s exploits under the blessings of the Hermit in the war of the Hellfire Mountains was so incredible that he already became a benchmark in the gathering, every other member looked up to him.


    They all hoped to replicate his efforts one day.


    Everyone else wanted to be like him.


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit!"


    The Magician and the Justice paid their respects, following shortly was the World and the Emperor also expressing their respects to the leader of the gathering. They didn''t start immediately though.


    Unlike previous gatherings, they already noticed the neer.


    Unlike before, apart from the Hermit, there were now 6 members in the gathering. Everyone of them was curious about this neer, most especially when he just came after what happened in the Hellfire Mountains.


    John felt it instantly as all the attention in this strange shady gathering turned in his direction, this pirate hacker instantly turned tense.


    His self-preservation instincts kicked in instantly though, taking a cue from the other members, he spoke for the first time.


    "Good morning, Oh Great One, thy servant is at thy service!"


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    Legs'' lips twitched furiously at this greeting but fortunately, the gray world obstructed him enough for the members to not detect it.


    He was not the only one who was taken aback, the others were also bbergasted as they directed a keener look at the neer.


    John was almost pissing himself. ''Where did I go wrong?''


    ''I made sure to put myself down as much as possible while exalting him!''


    ''Damn, is this a parallel world?''


    ''Does up mean down here?''


    ''Does humble mean pride here?!'' Crazy theories filled his head.


    ''Damn, there''s not even a single nce of aputer around for me to put my life on the line and try hacking to get myself out of this situation''.


    ''I''m screwed!''


    ''Definitely! I''m going to die!''


    While all these went through the mind of this entric Superhuman, the Hermit was calm as he finally spoke for the first time.


    He was precise. "We have a new member in our gathering".


    "Wow! Congrattions!" The Star was excited, it''s been a fairly long time since the gathering weed any new members and she was hyped.


    Another reason for her hype was that she could already feel the different aura that the neer exuded, it was unlike anything that she had experienced before now. The other members also weed him.


    "¡­" John was bbergasted.


    ''Are you for real right now?!''


    ''He promised to save my life, not make me a member of some shady organization!'' His eyes widened in horror. ''Is this¡­, the illuminati?!''


    Despite his thoughts, John was a veteran at ying it safe. He forced a smile and a friendly demeanor towards the others and epted their congrattions.


    "Introduce yourself". The Hermit''s voice reverberated like it was an order.


    John instantly straightened himself up.


    The other members were surprised, this was a first of its kind, the Hermit had never asked any neer to introduce himself before. This increased their curiosity even more about the real identity of this neer.


    John''s brain worked at the speed of aputer, then he came to his conclusions. ''This is definitely a test, a test to see my integrity''.


    ''I definitely can''t lie or I may die!''


    He smiled. "My name is John Gates".


    "¡­oops!" This was the silent reaction from every other member.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Never had they been asked to give their real names, but since the Hermit did not object, they kept quiet and allowed this neer to babble on.


    "I am a Grade D Superhuman, a patriotic pirate of the Tokic Belt!"


    "A legitimate citizen of Konot IV".


    "Lastly, I am an extremelypetent Virtual Mechanic with years of experience under my belt". Instantly, John already freed up and entered advertisement mood to sell his specialties.


    Since his boss was already captured, who knew if he could strike big from this shady gathering and attract the attention of one if they were shady pirates?


    "A Virtual Mechanic?!" The Emperor was the one who voiced his shock this time, his eyes widened in shock.


    Noticing the sudden strange atmosphere, John fidgeted a bit but he soonughed it away. "Yeah, Virtual Mechanic¡­, you know, the hack and hijack kind, not the pew pew mechbatant type, haha¡­"


    Nobodyughed, they only exhibited shock.


    By now, John was already going tense again. ''Ok now, what the hell is happening? The f*ck reason are they reacting like this?!''


    Unknown to him, the others already came to a frightening realization. Virtual Mechanic, Konot IV, though they were not familiar with them, since their ancestors were Space humans, a lot of myths about space had circted here.


    All of them were shocked. ''Is he from Space?!''


    The Emperor''s gaze turned even more fanatic as he turned to face the Hermit. ''He has recovered even more! He has risen!''


    The Hermit no longer kept the neer guessing, on his consent, the World took over and narrated the circumstances to John, including everything that he needed to know about the gray world gathering.


    By the time he was done, John was even more shocked.


    ''The f*ck!''


    He soon calmed down though. ''Nice, interesting¡­''


    His brain was already gearing into overdrive as many interesting thoughts filled his head. With the introduction phase done, the gray world gathering finally started in earnest and like expected, John dominated.


    All the other members were too interested in him for it to develop in another way, they mostly revealed information that the Hermit already knew about the war while John revealed so much interesting new information to them.


    John was also shocked by their information. ''The Nakish Navy?!''


    ''Damn, their must be stacked to attract them!'' He was drooling.


    ''Maybe I can even take advantage of them!'' He was ecstatic at the thought.


    With everyone so curious in knowing more about him and his knowledge, the gathering was longer than usual even as John discovered his uniqueness.


    When this phase of the gathering came to an end and the transaction session began, like expected, John dominated again and like he already nned, he set out to scam these backwater bumpkins.


    "I have high quality data chips for sale here going for 19 Universal Credits each, hehe¡­" He smiled. "As members, I can give you guys for a premium discount prize of 15 Credits".


    Bzzz!


    Only John felt it, the Hermit''s overwhelmingly powerful aura!


    "¡­!!!" rm hit this Mechanic, sweat trickled down his face.


    This was when he remembered that he and the other members were not the only ones here. ''Damn, how could I forget?!''


    ''Stupid John, you want to kill yourself?!'' He felt like bonking his head.


    ''How dare you try to scam them when he is watching?!'' He felt like a fool.


    The gathering progressed fast after that as John was much more sincere, the only shoring was, none of the other members knew what was called Universal Credits, John was left scratching his head awkwardly.


    The transaction phase didn''te to a total halt because of that though, when he heard of Arcanite metal, he finally knew what attracted the Naks.


    "I need Arcanite!" It was like he was suddenly possessed.


    "No matter how small, I will pay generously for it!"


    After the transaction phase finally came to an end, the Hermit took centerstage of the gathering again as he addressed all the members, especially the neer, telling him the privileges that he could now enjoy.


    After lecturing John enough, the Hermit finally broke the news that every member of the gathering now had ess to much more benefits before.


    Like now, it was not just their consciousness that was in the gathering, he seeded in directly dragging their bodies in here.


    This could be ast-gasp escape measure when cornered in battle.


    Of course, everything had a price.


    "You will know the price after the debt is owed". The Hermit was as mysterious and aloof as ever.


    The gray world gathering finally came to an end.

 Chapter 325 Title- High Official Of Planet Darvis

    Bzzz!


    John opened his eyes to see himself back in familiar surroundings.


    For a few seconds aftering back, this Virtual Mechanic remained standing as he simply took in the fresh breath in the air. The next moment, he raised his hands and carefully observed them.


    "It''s still me¡­"


    "I''m still alive!" He was ecstatic.


    John still felt that everything that happened was a miracle.


    He had heard in many operas and stories of miracles happening to save the protagonists from trouble, like them suddenly gaining divine weapons or attracting the attention of a powerful being or even a god.


    He never thought he was one of these lucky people but now John could not help but think, his eyes lit up. "Am I a protagonist too?"


    "Hell yeah!" He was convinced.


    The best thing at this moment was that despiteing back for a few minutes already, there was noary Guard meching after him.


    "Damn, this thing can fool the satellite to this extent?" He was amazed.


    After settling down, he finally thought back to his experiences over the past hour. From being abandoned by his boss, to being given the alternative offer to life by the Great One, to betraying his boss, then joining a secret shady organization, everything happened so fast that he could barely keep track of it.


    "Damn, they really say fortune can change in an instant".


    "I didn''t believe before". He felt emotional.


    John may be a lowlife pirate in Konot IV who joined random pirate groups to scavenge for wreaks to sustain their lives, but his identity as a Virtual Mechanic was not faked. Every pirate group that he joined valued hispetence.


    "I don''t know why a mighty being like the Great One was attracted to me but it may be the protagonist hallow Afterall, I am destined for great things!"


    On the spot, he was already nning ahead.


    ''Since most of the members of the gathering seemed toe from backwaters, I can engage in win-win transactions with them''.


    ''For their Arcanite metal, I am willing to do anything''.


    ''Of course, I can''t openly rip them off since the Hermit is omnipresent but still, I can get more than enough Arcanite metal at a bargain price''.


    ''Damn, I hit the jackpot!''


    With his long and skinny legs, he skipped away out of the alley.


    A few minutester, John boarded a train which took him to the nearby Spaceship station, it was a civilian transport space vessel. After paying with his remaining credits, John was finally on his way out of Konot IV.


    This pirate briefly paid his respects to the Hermit, without this powerful existence, he would have never made it out of the unscathed.


    After that, his eyes gleamed sharply.


    After a long time, John''s eyes gained a different gleam, that of ambition!


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    Like shadows, they all faded away.


    As soon as all the members of the gray world gathering left, Aaron finally appeared out of the shadows. This Elementalist had an impressed look on his face.


    "You did good".


    "Huh?" Legs was confused.


    Aaron chuckled. "Your acting skills have surely leveled up".


    "Unlike the others who had doubts about your identity despite your acts in your first meeting, John totally believes that you are a transcendent existence".


    Legs chuckled as he finally understood the context of Aaron''s praise.


    After that, he focused on another thing, thest of the new pulsing gray balls that connected his consciousness to a faraway.


    Legs was surprised as he looked at it this time. "It changed?"


    "Yes". Aaron did not exhibit much surprise.


    "After studying them for a long time, I discovered that the location that they connect to change at intervals. My best guess is that they only connect to an individual when he/she is in the right state for you to intervene".


    Legs rubbed his chin. "That¡­, is reasonable".


    He carefully observed the gray mist ball to determine if there were other differences that separated it from the others, on seeing none, his curiosity took over again. "Should I try pulling another member candidate now?"


    Instantly after he asked, he paused as his attention was drawn back to the inn where his body teleported from.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "A letter from Core Protector Shanks?"


    Legs changed his priorities immediately.


    Before leaving the gray world though, he thought of one other thing, John. ''I never expected to pull in a mechanic in my very first try''.


    ''This opens doors to a lot of new possibilities''.


    ''I''ll see how it goes''.


    With that, Legs finally tapped the gray apple tattoo on his wrist again as the gray world ejected his body back to Darvis.


    Bzzz!


    Compared to his students, Legs came back a lotter.


    They didn''t mind though, they already understood long ago that their master was the Hermit''s favorite and was why he spent more time there than them. It also exined some of the ridiculous feats that Legs achieved.


    Without an existence like the Hermit, he possibly can''t achieve them, can he?


    With this mindset, Legs was able to set some boundaries on how transcendent his 2 students already saw him.


    "Dada!" Uranus cheered as soon as he saw him.


    Legs smiled and walked closer before scooping the small Titan baby in his embrace. When he took the Titan Emperor''s mission, he didn''t bargain to be a father as a consequence but he didn''t object too much to it after.


    With Uranus in his embrace, he finally read theter that was dropped for him less than a minute ago.


    >After weeks of recovery, I think we are finally ready to take the next step in our ns to prepare the for theing Cataclysm<


    >We can''t make the mistake of our ancestors<


    >We must be adequately prepared<


    >As a recognized High Official of the, you have been invited to the first leadership meeting of our post the Clown Society era<


    >Time: 11:30am<


    >Sender: Core Protector Shanks<


    Legs looked at the time and clicked his tongue. "Less than 30 minutes? You''re still so awful at preemptive information".


    Despiteining, Legs went inside his room to get set.


    Just a few days ago, he received the first letter from Core Protector Shanks. Alongside a few other Grade C Superhumans, they had been at the forefront, taking care of things since the destruction of the Clown Society''s core.


    After everything that happened, Core Protector Shanks already recognized the need for an official seat of power to be made forpetent Grade C Superhumans. This was why he created the High Official seats.


    The High Officials were more or less the Senate to the new King that would ascend the throne, they could checkmate every decision made by the King.


    Through the letter, Legs learned that he was also made a High Official.


    His virtual interface lit up a notification after he obtained the letter then.


    -----


    [Congrattions! You have earned the Character Title: High Official of Darvis!]


    >High Official of Darvis: You are now recognized as one of the most authoritative individuals in Darvis. You have a lot of connections and influence in the, you are part of the decision-making core<


    -Negotiations with powerful parties are now easier than before


    -Increased favorability with every Darvis Citizen


    ----


    Before the 30 minutes could pse, Legs was done.


    He left without hesitation.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Summoner Energy Maniption


    You have triggered Teleportation!


    ----


    Bzzz!

 Chapter 326 First Leadership Meeting

    Bzzz!


    Legs arrived at the ruins of the previous royal pce.


    As a Grade C Superhuman, Legs finally gained the ability to teleport. Through his Summoner Energy Maniption, he could concentrate his power to squeeze and distort the airspace to induce teleportation.


    Of course, though his efficiency was not as high as Pugilists who could tear the airspace apart with their sheer physical strength nor Elementalists who had targeted teleportation techniques, it was still better than nothing.


    On arriving, Legs instantly felt the 3 distinct Grade C Superhuman auras. He traced them with his eyes and settled on a nearby building.


    This building was recently erected.


    Without hesitation, he walked closer.


    On entering inside, Legs'' eyes beheld 3 familiar faces. Apart from Core Protector Shanks, Newton and White me Eleanor were already here, he was thest to make it to the scheduled leadership meeting.


    To make it as exclusive as possible to earn respect, Core Protector Shanks restricted the High Official seat numbers to only 4 seats.


    These were the current 4 High Officials of Darvis.


    Despite having taken his Ultimate Man Potion already and looking like a grown man, Newton and Eleanor could not prevent the feeling. Knowing that the person that stood before them was essentially a 16-year-old, their lips twitched.


    Core Protector Shanks chuckled. "2 minutes¡­, you were almostte".


    "Almost, notte". Legs corrected with a smile.


    "Wee". The Core Protector weed him with a smile.


    Since the end of the battle of Hellfire Mountains, these 4 powerhouses had be closer than ever before. Despite the controversies associated with Newton, in the end, Legs respected his will and personality.


    Not everybody was like de and Jon Stones, not everybody was as patriotic as them, Newton''s decision countless times during the previous battle to prioritize his life over others may have caused controversies but he respected them.


    Together, they were already nning Darvis'' future.


    Core Protector Shanks didn''t beat around the bush, he went straight to the point. "After the end of the battle, even more chaos descended into our as the chaotic psychopaths dealt even more damage".


    "Over the weeks, their impact has lessened but they are still there".


    "From my observations, what is causing this is theck of a leader. After King Tom''s awful performance as the King, and the chaos and disaster that follows, most civilians are still in a confused and panicked state which fuels the chaos".


    "They need a new leader to stabilize things".


    "This is why I called for the first leadership meeting". Core Protector Shanks looked at them all. "We need to choose a King that the whole can ept and unify under, someone that can stop the chaos".


    "Do you have any candidates?"


    "I have no one from the direct royal family line, all of them are already corrupted by power". Core Protector Shanks grimaced. "I am thinking of breaking the rules a bit and choosing a King from the side families".


    "What do you all think?"


    Newton spoke first. "I have no objection so long as the chaos stops".


    White me Eleanor simply nodded. After Jon Stones'' death, this warriordy had be even more silent than ever before, everyday of her life now felt like preparation for the inevitable war that would soone.


    It was when it came to Legs'' turn that the pause became longer.


    All the faces in the room turned towards him.


    Legs looked at them. "You''re already breaking the rules once, why not go even more extreme andpletely break it?"


    Core Protector Shanks keenly looked at him. "What do you mean?"


    Legs shrugged. "After everything that happened in recent times, is there still a need for a King?"


    Core Protector Shanks'' face became troubled immediately. "Without a King, we''ll never be able to curb the chaos".


    "You''re not exactly right". Legs smiled. "You think we need a King because we''ve stuck with this method since the Ancient times, but what if I tell you that there is an easier way to make a leader that is not a King?"


    "Exin". Core Protector Shanks'' curiosity was aroused.


    Legs did not disappoint. "Since the history of our, we''ve encountered problems with our Kings. It''s either they''re too arrogant, they''re notorious womanizers, or power mongers which affects the".


    "What I think causes this is because there''s too much centralization of power, they feel they are omnipresent and their powers cannot be questioned".


    "That is why King Tom fervently opposed the Grade C Superhumans".


    "That is why you were also ordered to assassinate Jon Stones centuries ago".


    Core Protector Shanks'' eyebrows became furrowed even more. "I understand your points, but I still don''t get what you''re trying to prove".<novelnext></novelnext>


    Legs smiled. "Like I said, Kingship is not the only viable way for an individual to rule a. What if instead of being a King, we create an authoritative position that is akin to a King but with less powers".


    "¡­"


    Legs continued despite their confusions. "Unlike a King, this new leader is selected by every citizen of our so there won''t be favoritism".


    "Also, he won''t being from a specific family, the best individual with the best credentials to rule the will be chosen".


    "Not only that, measures will be put in ce to control their power. Rules like every four years, a new leader will emerge to rule the".


    "This new culture is a process I term democracy".


    "Through this process, we give power to the people".


    Core Protector Shanks and the others'' eyes slowly shone in realization; Legs broke it down even further for them to make them thoroughly understand. In the end, they were left starstruck.


    Core Protector Shanks was shocked. "How did youe up with this?"


    Legs smiled. "Let''s just say, I''m really smart".


    "¡­"


    ''Shameless!'' They yelled in their minds despite their shock and amazement.


    ''Damn, a 16-year-old made this up?!'' They were going crazy.


    Newton finally calmed down. "So, this new leader, if he is not a King, what do we call him?"


    Legs smiled. "We call him a President".


    "President¡­, it sounds nice". Core Protector Shanks was even more amazed.


    "When can we perform the election?"


    "After all remnants of the Clown Society is wiped out". Legs looked at them. "We tell them now to prepare them for it, and the realization that they all can now wield some power will motivate them to fight for peace and calm".


    "This will elerate our efforts to end the chaos".


    "Immediately the Clown Society is wiped out, the election follows".


    "Also, the candidates that will be contesting for the election should indicate their interest now to prepare for the future".


    It took some time but after Legs fully fleshed all the details of democracy to them, all 3 High Officials were left bbergasted at his intelligence.


    For a long time, Newton saw himself as a once in a lifetime genius but now being exposed to Legs'' genius, he could not help but doubt himself.


    ''How dare I call myself a genius when there are freaks like Legs?'' He felt a little depressed.


    Once the talk of electing a new leader was finalized, the leadership meeting went to another phase as the High Officials raised new concerns.


    Core Protector Shanks spoke. "After everything that happened, I believe we can all already see the importance of the core".


    "Also, the importance of the so-called Arcanite metal".


    "After a new leader is elected, I want us to direct a lot of manpower and money into developing the Core Protector Alliance and a special unit that would be responsible for locating and harvesting Arcanite metal".


    "Seeing how much Alexander''s aliens value it, we may be able to harness it''s power to bolster our defenses against the invading forces of the aliens".


    "We need everything on board to survive theing cataclysm".


    No one objected to his suggestions, Newton went next. "After the battle, I''ve been reflecting a lot and I have recently taken a drastic decision".


    "I no longer want to be selfish with my decision as a Chemist".


    "I want to create a side organization to the Elementalist Academy, an organization fully focused on raisingpetent Chemists that can contribute to the growth and defense of the against theing cataclysm".


    Core Protector Shanks was surprised on hearing this, being of the same generation as Jon Stones and Newton, he knew exactly how selfish this Elementalist was. ''Perhaps the war did some good Afterall''. He thought.


    Eleanor''s demand was simple. "Jon Stones left a will for de to carry out, I want you all to support de in his quest to revive the Pugilist Academy".


    Seeing how obsessed she still was about Jon Stones, they felt a bit of pity towards her but they dared not voice it out, they all agreed to it.


    Lastly, Legs finally made his personal demand.


    "After the war, I have gained a lot which made me reflect a lot".


    "After a lot of thinking, I have decided to start my organization".

 Chapter 327 End Of The Chaotic War

    >BLUE BROOK GUILD<


    Seated on top a luxurious chair inside their guild building, Blue River skimmed through all the information and papers that were on his desk even as activities in the Blue Brook Guild as a whole skyrocketed.


    After the battle of Hellfire Mountains, for 2 weeks, the forces of the main organizations in Darvis seemed to go into hibernation as the chaos continued. But after the 2nd week, everything changed.


    The intact organizations like the Elementalist Academy, the Hunter Union, and the remnants of the Mercenary Online Organization mobilized in their numbers as their warriors flooded the streets.


    The determination to wipe away remnants of the Clown Society skyrocketed.


    This enthusiasm got to the yers as the normal missions that they received before became extremely high-paying missions, everything inted.


    With the main organizations working at full power, after more than a week of rooting them out, literally all of the remnants were already pulled out.


    The remaining psychopaths were the best of the best that were not qualified enough to escape alongside ck Master Einstein and Din.


    For the past 3 days, Blue River''s desk was flooded with reports.


    Reports of new boss viins of the Clown Society appearing left and right. In theirst moments, the hiding Red Masters of the Clown Society no longer bothered hiding, they came out to engage theirst stand bravely.


    To normal yers, they stood no chance against these Grade D boss Superhumans but to the main guilds, these were opportunities of lifetimes.


    For the past 3 days, the main game guilds were working overtime.


    Powerful raid teams were arranged to go fight and defeat these bosses as soon as they appeared. The performance of the yers was so fearless and eye-catching that they already caught the attention of the High Officials.


    "These warriors, they''re so fervent".


    "It''s like they''re not even afraid of death".


    "They''re the perfect soldiers".


    Their notoriety got to the extent where even warriors of the main organizations anticipated their arrival as it would immediately induce a swing in battle enthusiasm and motivation.


    "The fearless soldiers have arrived again!"


    Whenever they heard this, they knew that the fearless battle hounds were here, the main guilds outdid themselves already in the past 3 days.


    Seated on his luxurious chair, as Blue River skimmed through all the information reports, one of his assistants suddenly charged into room.


    "BOSS!"


    "BOSS¡­!!!"


    Blue River became irritated. "I told you to stop yelling at me!"


    "Boss, it''s important!"


    Blue River directed an exasperated look at him. "What happened?"


    "Manchester f*cking united!" Horny Assassin let loose his excitement first.


    "¡­" Blue River was left speechless.


    "I and my raid party discovered a boss fight!"


    "It was first discovered by the Fish Smokers Guild, their pro yers were there already and they are now fighting the boss!"


    "They have not killed it yet, this boss is a powerful one!"


    Horny Assassin''s eyes glinted deviously. "Thest time, they kill-stole our boss psychopath, let''s mobilize our pro team and steal theirs too".


    Blue River understood the significance of this information but he was left a little troubled. ''Unlike Desert Gust, Raining Sword is an upright pro yer''.


    ''Will he agree to this?''


    ''Will he scold me?''


    Despite his apprehension, he still appreciated Horny Assassin. "Thank you, you brought some nice piece of information this time".


    "Wait for me outside, let me chat with him".


    He opened his private chat channel and hesitated a bit before finally typing in as Horny Assassin left.


    >Blue River- Hey Captain, we discovered a new boss<


    >Raining Sword- Where?<


    The reply came instantly, Blue River calmed down and answered.


    >Blue River- Close to our base. But the Fish Smokers discovered it first, they are currently fighting it without seeding yet<


    >Blue River- Do you¡­?<


    Blue River was still typing when he answered.


    >Raining Sword- Send exact coordinates, we''re on our way<


    "Huh?" Blue River was taken aback. "So fast?"


    He was surprised but he did not hesitate to send the coordinates.


    ¡­


    Bam!


    "Ouch¡­!"


    "Damn, this psychopath boss is a monster, his skin is so tough!"


    Bam!


    The talkative yer was shocked as he barely dodged the swing of the hammer by the skin of his teeth, he sweat bullets.


    "F*ck, this guy is so strong!"


    "You shameless psychopath!"


    "How dare you wield such huge and heavy hammers?"


    "Don''t you know that it makes you look like an imbecile?"


    "How dare you be such a strong fighter?"


    Bam! Bam!


    Saber Tongue kept on swinging his Saber as fast as he could even as he assisted his Captain who led this raid and his other teammates.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "F*ck this sh*t!" Desert Gust cursed in frustration.


    "Tongue, you''re so right, this guy is a shameless piece of sh*t!"


    "You think wielding such arge hammer makes you look powerful?"


    "You remain a piece of trash in therge scheme of things!"


    "I doubt Clown even knew you existed when he was alive, how could he when you''re such a lumbering piece of sh*t¡­, hehe!"


    "No wonder ck Master Einstein didn''t take you along to escape!"


    "¡­" The Hammer-wielding Grade D psychopath shook in anger.


    "You¡­!"


    "You motherf*cker!"


    He swung his Hammer powerfully.


    Desert Gust was fast enough to retreat and dodge even as the Elementalists bombarded the boss with AOE attacks. As he retreated shamelessly, heughed and taunted him. "I knew it, you can''t even curse properly".


    "If I''m your daddy, I would be ashamed".


    "¡­!" This psychopathpletely lost it.


    "You¡­, ahhh¡­!!!"


    He lost all reason and dashed towards Desert Dust without caring about defense. Desert Gust''s life was in danger but this opened the enemy up, his teammates did not hesitate as they bombarded him with attacks.


    Even as his health withered, Desert Gust''s health also withered.


    "Healer Elementalists, I need help!" Desert Gust did not hesitate to shout for help even as he constantly retreated while being battered.


    With the healer''s help, he was able to survive it till the enemy psychopath''s health points lowered to a dangerous level.


    "Hehe¡­, I always knew you were a good for nothing".


    "You''ll die soon".


    This psychopath felt even more infuriated. "Even in death, you cannot disrespect me, the order of chaos lives!


    The hammer-wielding psychopath started his ultimate technique attack.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Even as Desert Gust''s health points constantly hovered at the point of death and as the psychopath came increasingly closer to death, Desert Gust''s intuition suddenly spiked. He looked through the corner of his eyes and saw them.


    Thud! Thud!


    The raid party of 8 bravely charged into this battlefield.


    To others, their entry may look brave and heroic but to Desert Gust, they only reeked of shamelessness. "You f*cker! What the hell are you doing here?!"


    Raining Sword didn''t even deem it right to answer.


    "Attack!"


    "Combination Attack: Continuous Attacks; Ghost and Rain!"


    With him and Ghost Sentry taking the lead, his teammates followed him in as they spammed the psychopath with their strongest attacks. Having been fighting since, the enemy yers already used up most of their strongest attacks.


    Not only was their mana low, their strongest abilities were on cooldown.


    "You¡­!" Desert Gust could not believe his eyes.


    "THE ORDER OF CHAOS LIVES FOREVER!" The psychopath said hisst words.


    He was dead, Desert Gust saw no notification.


    [Congrattions to the Blue Autumn Raid Party for killing the Psychopath Boss: Hammer Warlord Agna!]


    [You have been rewarded with¡­]


    "Retreat". Raining Sword remained calm as he smoothly ordered.


    As smoothly as they intruded into this battlefield, all the yers of the raid team retreated as they went on the run. All the yers of the Fist Trout raid party were stunned, this was the first boss that was stolen from right under their nose.


    Desert Gust finally came to the frightening realization.


    "You shameless bastard!" He yelled.


    He pursued after them even as his raid party followed him. "I always knew you were a fraud, acting so high and mighty and righteous!"


    "You piece of sh*t!"


    "All those your Swordsmanship nonsense principles that you talk about, keeping your personality as straight and sharp as a sword, did you forget them?"


    "You f*cking hypocrite!"


    Surprisingly, Raining Sword answered.


    "I didn''t forget, I simply adapted my sword style".


    "My sword is now as flexible and adaptable as water, I am no longer as rigid as before".


    "Besides, people change".


    Hearing Raining Sword''s righteous voice, Desert Gust coughed blood.


    "You motherf*cker!!!"


    ¡­


    For the next 2 days, raid parties saw and engaged more psychopath bosses.


    Most of these raid teams were not strong enough and were wiped out but the others put up amendable resistance, only the pro yers had a consistent win rate against the psychopath bosses but even them suffered losses at times.


    Like this, all the Grade D Red Masters who were remnants of the Clown Society were finally wiped out.


    A month after the battle of Hellfire Mountains, the surviving citizens of Darvis finally met the end of the chaotic war.


    Even as preparations for the trending Presidential election started immediately, the yers also started their preparations for the very first National Dominator Cup Tournament.

 Chapter 328 Election

    The citizens of Darvis were in a jubnt mood.


    After a nightmarish period of a month, the nightmare of the Clown Society finally came to an end. The civilians never felt as proud of their warriors as they felt now, the warriors proved their strength and protected the.


    Of course, in any war, there were casualties and the chaotic personality of the psychopaths caused even more casualties.


    Just yesterday, under Core Protector Shanks'' orders, a-wide wake was organized as all the dead citizens in the Clown Revolution wereid to rest.


    Considering the sheer amount of citizens that lost friends and loved ones during the revolution, a cloud of sadness engulfed the but Core Protector Shanks had just the right remedy to curb the sadness from infecting everyone.


    Just after the-wide wake, the next day was the election day!


    The election put a mood of anticipation and jubtion across the whole. Though most civilians didn''t pay attention to the things that happened at the top, almost everyone knew that King Tom yed a huge part in what happened.


    Just the fact that there would be no more King pleased their sensibilities.


    Not just that, the establishment of the High Official seats and the fact that every single one of them would be ying such a pivotal part in the election increased the optimism and hope even more.


    For the first time in decades, they had hopes for a bright future.


    A bright future where they would no longer just be cogs in a machine.


    A bright future where no King could tyrannically dictate their lives.


    A bright future where they could choose their own leader, a President!


    That term has already gone viral since it became known across the.


    "Today, we elect our President!"


    "I''m so hyped, a President sounds so much cooler than a King!"


    "Cool is for the younger generation". A gray-haired man of the older generation said with emotion. "Being able to dictate and choose our own leader, do you know how much I and my buddies dreamed of it?"


    His old weary eyes teared up. "I am the only one surviving now, but I believe that in heaven, they''ll be smiling down at me seeing what is happening".


    "It is my fortune to witness the first President".


    "Mommy, I want him to be the President!"


    A little girl who survived the war pointed at a big drawing that was attached to 2 poles. It was a big drawing depicting Core Protector Shanks'' powerful and majestic frame, he was among the Presidential Candidates.


    Originally, Shanks never wanted to be a part of it but Legs convinced him. ''You want to let Jon Stones'' death be in vain?''


    ''After everything that happened and what you did in the war, it''s clear that you''re the best leader that Darvis can ever wish for''.


    Core Protector Shanks narrowed his eyes. ''Is this why you brought the system of democracy in the first ce? To make me the leader?''


    ''It ys a tiny part''. Legs smiled.


    In the end, Core Protector Shanks could not refute, he contested.


    There were 4 Presidential Candidates. Apart from Core Protector Shanks, 2 of the leaders of the Mercenary Online Organization contested, while thest Presidential Candidate was Hunter Master Lydia.


    After subtle campaign for the past few days, despite the convincing argument from the others, after the war, there was one overwhelming favorite.


    Literally every survivor of the war favored Core Protector Shanks.


    Core Protector Shanks literally exhibited all the traits of the perfect President that all the citizens of the wanted. Even without being the President yet, he was the one who stood at the helm directing most things that happened.


    Apart from being a great contributor in the war and the creation of the Grade C Alliance, after the war, he literally carried all the administration on his head.


    All these made him the perfect candidate.


    The air of optimism in the air was infectious as the citizens of Darvis got prepared for the time where history would be made.


    At exactly 10:00 that morning, votingmenced.


    Under Legs'' masterful guidance and direction, the election procedures were already arranged ahead of time. The voting centers, the ballot boxes, ballot papers, and the election officials, everything was in ce.


    When the voting started, with powerful Grade C Superhumans personally taking action to supervise the proceedings, there was no chaos.


    For 2 hours, the election process took ce smoothly.


    Before 12 noon, every surviving citizen of Darvis already casted his/her vote. The voting process came to an end as theption process officially started while the citizens had no choice but to wait.


    To the citizen of Darvis, the wait was agonizing.


    The tension, the anticipation, the excitement, all the emotions that they felt made today a day that they would never forget no matter the result that came out.


    For an hour that felt to some like days, they waited.


    After an hour, the election result was finallypiled.


    Originally, an election process was supposed to take much more time than this considering the fact that it was a-wide election.


    One of the main reasons for the swift election was the fact that humans upied only a small part of Darvis in their shelters, the other parts were upied by the Apocalypse beasts.


    Another main reason was the fact that the election was overseed by powerful Grade C Superhumans. Having far exceeded normal human limitations already, their means and methods were much myriad and far more efficient.


    Through the virtual server of the Mercenary Online Organization, the result announcement would be broadcasted across the at the same time.


    As soon as virtual screens were projected into the air showing a podium, every citizen of Darvis held their breaths as they watched.


    As they watched, one of the High Officials climbed the podium.


    High Official Legs who was famous for his exploits in the previous war took centerstage. With a bright smile on his face, this powerful Grade C Summoner held a book as he read it''s contents to the watchful eyes of the citizens.


    Before reading, Legs briefly addressed them.


    "Congrattions". Legs smiled. "Today, we wee a new era".


    "A new era where we shed the ignorance of the old era".


    "A new era where we embrace democracy".


    "A new era where the voice of every citizen of our is powerful".<novelnext></novelnext>


    "This is the result of the election, the choice of the people".


    He finally read from the book. "Presidential Candidate Eimar".


    "Total Votes is 255,899".


    "Congrattions".


    The citizens that were watching live from the podium built in the ruins of the previous royal pce cheered and pped for the Presidential Candidate.


    "Presidential Candidate Tomiyasu".


    "Total Votes is 874,551".


    "Congrattions".


    The cheers and ps were louder than the first time.


    "Presidential Candidate Lydia".


    "Total Votes is 15,400,678".


    Gasps escaped from the spectating citizens.


    "Congrattions".


    Cheers and apuse erupted as the citizens sincerely appreciated the powerful warriordy''s performance. Another factor was that her incredible performance and the gap she gave the others sent some nerves taut.


    ''Is she the winner?''


    ''So many people voted for her!'' Spections filled the air.


    Legs'' gaze finally navigated to the bottom of the paper.


    "Presidential Candidate Shanks".


    "¡­"


    Legs paused, the citizens were literally dying from the suspense.


    ''Say it already you mother*cker!'' They screamed in their minds.


    ''I''ll die if you don''t say it now!''


    Legs raised his head to look at them with a teasing smile on his face.


    "Presidential Candidate Shanks".


    "Total Votes is 59,670,212".


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    Total silence followed first as it seemed like an angel just passed.


    "Congrattions!"


    Legs'' congrattion woke all the spectating citizens alive.


    They didn''t cheer, they didn''t p, they roared!


    "YAY¡­!!!"


    "YEAH¡­!!!"


    "Yes, we did it!"


    "I can''t believe it, we won!"


    "We elected our President!"


    "We really made our choice this time!"


    "I''m so happy!"


    Tears rushed down the old man''s eyes freely. "I can finally die in peace".


    The cheers and apuse were thunderous as the citizens of Darvis vent their emotions after the suffering of the past month. Basking in all their emotions, Legs could not help but also be affected by it.


    ''This world must be real''.


    ''This is definitely no game''.


    ''I won''t believe it if I''m told that this is still the game I co-created''.


    Amid the thunderous cheers and jubtion, Legs'' virtual interface lit up.

    Total Favorability with the Landmark Construction Family: 1,200


    Your Total Favorability with the Landmark Construction Family is at Respect!


    You have achieved the basis for mutual cooperation and trust with the Landmark Construction Family!


    ----


    A relieved look appeared on Legs'' face on seeing this.


    On top Ak and Leo respectively, Legs and Christensen went on an important trip to the headquarters of thendmark Construction Family. After stalling for a week, Legs was now ready to ramp up his ns.


    For the past week, after the end of the election, as soon as the swearing in ceremony was scheduled for a monthter, he focused on his own ns.


    His own ns was mainly his decision to start his own organization.


    Having told the other High Officials during the first official leadership meeting, Legs easily had his way and got a huge plot ofnd in one of the best locations across the that was colonized by the humans.


    After getting the plot ofnd, he focused on making everything in order, making sure that thend was ready for development before furthering his ns.


    The first target that came to his mind was the premier constructionpany in Darvis, the Landmark Construction Company.


    During the past 6 months before the war when he and his students engaged in different missions, they managed to take on a mission rted to this renowned constructionpany where they were able to form a shallow connection.


    This shallow connection was not enough for Legs to visit them so brazenly though, the only reason why he did so was because of his current status.


    Unlike the previous time when he came here, he was much more powerful now. Every organization in the respected Grade C Superhumans.


    Not just that, after his exploits during the battle of the Hellfire Mountains, his reputation and renown was at an all-time high.


    Literally every little kid in Darvis now knew of his name.


    Not just that, after gaining the 2 new titles after the war, the Darvis Legend and High Official of Darvis titles, his negotiation and persuasion power was at his peak, this was what gave him confidence toe.


    From afar, the guards of the gigantic mansion already recognized them.


    It was no longer news to the influential core in the that Legs acquired a humungous plot ofnd. Now with him suddenlying with his student, the Construction Family already knew their motives long ago.


    They weed them enthusiastically into their mansion.


    Seated inside the luxurious dining room of the mansion, Legs and his student were treated to the best delicacies that Darvis had to offer.


    "Meow!" A certain cat meowed excitedly.


    Legs instantly recognized the cute feline meow as he smiled brightly and looked in that direction. "Po, you miss me?"


    "Meow!" "Meow!" "Meow!" The tiny cat was excited.


    He could never forget it when this human and his 2panions saved him and his siblings from the filthy hands of the beast traffickers.


    The cat charged towards Legs and jumped on him, Legs chuckled as he rubbed his fur and head even as Po purred cutely.


    The next moment, 3 other shocked feline fellows arrived.


    It was like Po receiving so much love triggered their radar senses.


    "Miaow!"


    "Mew!"


    "Mewl!"


    All 3 excited feline cats charged towards them. Whereas Fo and Sho also charged towards him, Lo charged towards Christensen excitedly.


    Both Summoners chuckled as they yed with the 4 felines.


    As this happened, Albert looked at them with a smile.


    "They seem to miss you guys a lot, why didn''t your 3rde?"


    "He''s busy". Christensen answered as he focused on Lo. "She sure misses me".


    A few minutester, the cats scurried away after they were done eating.


    Albert finally hit the nail on the head. "So, I have heard your needs already, but I need more borate details to get the right construction team for you".


    "Can you give me details?"


    Legs smiled. "Sure".


    "I intend to start an Army, not just an organization epassing one set of supers like the Elementalist Academy and the others".


    "My ambition is to create something more like the Hunter Union".<novelnext></novelnext>


    "I want my headquarters to be big enough to house thousands of supers from the 3 main sses". Legs rubbed his chin. "As I want something more akin to a military base, I would like my headquarters to have multiple floors".


    Albert was calm as he carefully took in all the details. "If that is your exact vision for it, then I think I have the perfect team for you".


    "They have tons of construction models fitting your description".


    "If you meet them, you can flesh it out and decide on what you want".


    Carter continued as he exined more about his special construction team, even as he continually deviated into the more technical architectural parts. A few minutester, they finalized on the work part.


    Legs rubbed his hands together. "So, what is the budget range for this?"


    This was when Albert''s smile became wider than ever before. "We have decided to waive the bills for this construction as a charity to your ambition".


    "¡­" Legs was surprised.


    His surprise was not hard to understand since his ambitious construction was likely a project involving hundreds of millions if not billions of Darvis Credits.


    Albert exined. "After your exploits in the Hellfire Mountains, not only did you protect our lives and others from descending into depravity and chaos, you also protected the interests of our constructionpany".


    "By destroying the core of the Clown Society, you kept ourpany in business. If the Clown Society seeded, without a doubt, we would have been forced to stop business as they fulfilled their crazy order in chaos ambitions".


    "So, in essence, ourpany owes you a debt".


    "This is our way of paying you back".


    "My father already approved it".


    Despite understanding the exnation, Legs was still taken aback. ''Damn¡­! It''s good to get power man, so many things be convenient''.


    With the Landmark Construction Company so adamant on licking his boots, who was he to reject? He epted their goodwill as they soon progressed to the end of their talk, a few minutester, they came to an agreement.


    Legs and his student left the headquarters of the Landmark Construction Company with a special construction team following them.


    Through teleportation, their journey was smooth and efficient.


    Bzzz!


    On arrival, like nned, Christensen took over from his master.


    He was to be in charge of supervising the construction team as they mapped thend, and determined the best way to start their construction.


    As soon as Christensen left, de met his master. "Please, can I see you?"


    "Sure". Legs smiled.


    Inside an enclosed tent, de sat cross-legged opposite his master as he looked at him. "I don''t know if you''ve noticed, but for the past few weeks, I''ve been busy in my quest of rebuilding the Pugilist Academy".


    "Despite trying my best and with the overwhelming support from White me Eleanor, I have found it harder than anticipated to aplish my goal".


    "Seeing how much progress you''ve made in so little time; I don''t know if you can help?" de fidgeted a bit.


    Despite bing a powerful Grade C Pugilist already that was at Jon Stones'' level, it was already ingrained in de''s head, this was his master. Legs'' achievement in the war increased his awe and respect for him even more.


    Legs smiled. "Of course, I can".


    "In fact, I already started helping you".


    "Huh?" de was surprised.


    "I know your ambition to rebuild the Pugilist Academy, but despite that, I never had any intentions to separate from anyone of my students".


    de frowned. "But I made Jon Stones a promise".


    "I know, that is why I created an alternative option. Unlike other organizations like the Pugilist Academy, I created my army with the intention of epting all supers of the 3 main sses including Pugilists".


    "If you''ve noticed, thend that I acquired is bigger than expected".


    "I got it for a reason".


    "Instead of going out to rebuild the Pugilist Academy, join me and rebuild it here. While I will be the leader of the army as a whole, I want to create a Pugilist branch which can be a substitute for the Pugilist Academy, you can be the leader".


    "That way, you''ll fulfill your promise while still staying with me".


    "In essence, you''ll be killing 2 birds with one stone".


    de was taken aback. "That¡­ works?"


    "Yes". Legs grinned.

 Chapter 330 A Trip To The Void Dimension

    One weekter¡­


    The Landmark Construction Company fully showed itspetence as construction works continued without abating in Legs'' plot ofnd.


    Originally, building construction normally took months since most construction processes took time to solidify and harden enough to be safe for use but things were not exactly of the same standards in Darvis.


    With the introduction of Elementalists, mostly Earth Elementalists, construction work became a lot easier since more elements became controble.


    Like now, Legs'' gship mansion was already taking shape.


    The building''s foundation was already erected as every day, it rose a few meters higher. From the skies, Legs watched everything with a brilliant smile on his face as he envisioned the final state of his organization''s headquarters.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration


    Beast Integration Sessful!


    You have fused with Bran


    [Base Control Level: 45%]


    [+6% Base Control Level from hierarchy!]


    [Intermediate Summoner Knowledge: Enhanced Leadership Detected!]


    [+15% Control Level!]


    [Overall Control Level: 66%]


    ----


    After his recent breakthrough to the Grade C realm, his base control level when fusing with his beasts increased by an order of magnitude.


    His fusion with any of his contracted beasts was now better than before.


    Fused with Bran, Legs was able to watch everything about the construction work from a vantage point in the skies and was why he was able to easily picture the final state.


    ''Contracting them was the right decision''.


    ''The cream on top the cherry is that I won''t be paying a dime for all these''.


    He smiled in satisfaction.


    The fact that he won''t be paying a dime became all the more crazy when the truth became known that the approximate budget for this gigantic construction was 11 billion Darvis Credits!


    This was a humungous amount of credits!


    When the construction was over, it would officially take the de of the biggest headquarters of any organization in Darvis.


    The only problem was that Legs still didn''t have a name for his organization. He felt troubled. ''What do I call it?''


    ''Welp, perhaps I need to look for inspiration''.


    As Legs watched from the skies at the construction work in a satisfied manner, he suddenly made a decision. "I think it''s finally time to explore".


    At this stage of the construction, his input and personal supervision was not as needed as before. With Christensen acting as a stand-in for him, Legs got all the luxury in the world to act as carefreely as he wanted.


    ''Making Christensen my student was really a genius move on my part''.


    Also, preparations for the swearing-in ceremony were already ramping up. Not just that, the National Dominator tournament for yers in Darvis was finally about to start in just a day from now.


    The main battle of Version 1 already came to an end, but it was after all these were done that the sequel to Version 1 will finally be over.


    During the time while all these happened, Legs intended to be productive.


    ''After my breakthrough, I have a lot of things to take care of to maximize my potentials as a Grade C Summoner''.


    ''When the time is right, I need to take all my contracted beasts to the Spirit ne to have a proper trip to fish forpatible Spirit Beasts''.


    ''Also, since Bran already became a Void Lord ahead of time, I need to visit the Void Dimension with him to start preparations on building his Void army''.


    ''Ak also needs help to build his Wolf Empire in the Beast ne''.


    ''Lastly, I need to take up my 4th contracted beast''.


    Legs'' eyes shone as he thought of thest part. Taking on new contracted beasts was always something that excited summoners. To them, it was a memorable experience like they were adopting new kids.


    ''The only problem is I don''t have a specific candidate in mind''.


    ''I have no choice but to take it as ites then''.


    With that, Legs finally descended from the skies. He told his 2 students his intentions before getting prepared to leave, in a few minutes, he was done.


    "Bran, do it".


    Without hesitation, the Void Raven triggered his Special Ability.


    Bzzz!


    Through his authority and connection to the Void Dimension as a Void Lord, Bran was able to tear a hole in space to create a unique teleportation portal.


    Unlike other teleportation portals, the portal that opened was filled with bright golden lights that made it seem like it was a portal that led to heaven.


    Bran did not hesitate, the Void Raven directed onest look at his master before diving in as he was sucked in instantly.


    "Here goes nothing¡­" Legs also jumped in.


    They were gone in an instant.


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    It took some time for Legs'' eyes to limatize to his new surroundings. When they finally did, he was finally able to see his immediate surroundings.


    The Void Dimension was thick.


    This was Legs'' first impression immediately.<novelnext></novelnext>


    All around him was a thick covering like clouds. The thick covering was mostly golden, making him feel like he was floating in a worldprised of golden clouds. Golden clouds were predominant but they were not the sole color here.


    Far away, Legs could already see greyish blue thick coverings.


    At this moment, Legs was surprised as the golden clouds seemed to press against his skin and suppress him in a way that left him slightly suffocated.


    ''So, this is the Void Dimension?'' Legs was amazed.


    In his previous life, despite not being privileged enough to get a contracted beast with Void bloodline like Bran, he was privileged enough to be tormented by the prideful taunts of lucky yers who won the lottery.


    As he observed curiously, his virtual interface suddenly lit up a notification.


    -----


    You have entered a hostile Dimension: Void Dimension!


    Your overall base stats have been suppressed by 50%!


    You have a contracted beast with Void Bloodline!


    Calcting suppression deduction¡­, please wait¡­


    Calctionplete!


    Your overall base stats have been suppressed by 20%!


    ¡­


    [Bran has triggered bloodline state: Home Sweet Home!]


    [Congrattions! Bran has unlocked multiple Void Dimension-Exclusive bloodline bonuses!]


    ----


    "Wow!" Legs was surprised as he looked at Bran.


    To his surprise, his contracted beast was far different from the Bran that he knew here. At this moment, the golden stripes surrounding Bran''s ck body seemed to have been stimted as they glowed brighter than ever before.


    Not only did they glow, as they glowed, they also radiated power.


    Bzzz!


    Legs was taken aback as spatial fluctuations took ce around the Void Raven. This was not natural, Bran seemed to be awakening strange powers and he also seemed to be preparing for a fight.


    "A fight?"


    -----


    Warning! You have attracted the attention of a local Void Warlord!


    ----


    "Intruders!" It first came softly.


    "WHO¡­?!" Then the voice reverberated like thunder.


    "WHO DARES TO INTRUDE INTO DORONION''S TERRITORY?!"


    "¡­" Legs gulped as he felt the multiple powerful presences.


    Whoosh!


    In just a few seconds, multiple Void Beasts warped from deep inside their territory as they surrounded Legs in no time.


    Most of these beasts were totally different from anything that Legs knew before, most had deformed monstrous shapes, while others were more basic like mutated Void Lizards and Void Crows.


    Onemon fact about them was that they all floated in this world.


    At their lead was the most powerful of them all, the one who spoke. This was a surprisingly small reptilian void monster who stood upright like a human, but his long and arrow-head tail gave away it''s identity as a menacing monster.


    It had the head of a Crocodile with menacing rows of teeth stored in it.


    This Void monster was not floating alone, it rode a Void monster that looked like a bloated golden Bug. This gigantic monster opened its humungous mouth, exposing the saber-sharp and long rows of teeth that adorned it.


    Both the Reptilian void monster and it''s Bug mount were Grade C Void Monsters!


    He demanded again. "WHO ARE YOU?"


    "HOW DARE YOU INVADE DORONION''S TERRITORY?"


    It spoke in a strangenguage but surprisingly, Legs was able to understand it. He was puzzled. ''Is this because of my connection to Bran?''


    ''Maybe I should try speaking to cate it''.


    He coughed. "Ahem¡­, I mean no harm Lord Doronion".


    "I didn''te to invade your territory; I only came here by coincidence".


    Doronion''s Reptilian face turned into a fearsome frown the next moment; Legs'' heart skipped a beat. ''Did I say something wrong?''


    The Void Reptile red at them even as the atmosphere turned tense.


    ''Bran, do something''.


    Doronion finally spoke again. "THEY''RE INSULTING US!"


    "LET''S KILL THEM!"


    "Huh?" Legs was bbergasted. ''What logic is that?''


    Unfortunately, the Void Monsters didn''t listen to him.


    "KILL!!!"


    They roared and charged at him.

 Chapter 331 History Of The Nightmare Beasts

    The Nightmare Beast Ind¡­


    Bzzz!


    After bing an Annihtion Nightmare Beast, Predator gained powers that were akin to that of a Pugilist. Through his sheer physical strength, this Nightmare beast could brute-force his way and tear the fabric of space open.


    Though his control over his strength was not near as sophisticated as Pugilists, Predator was still able to tear his way to teleport back home.


    Nightmare Beast Ind was where Predator was born.


    Instantly after he set foot on this ind, Predator didn''t even bother to suppress his energy, he let his energy and power loose on all the nearby beasts.


    "Cri¡­ cri¡­ cri¡­!"


    "Chirp!" "Chirp!" "Chirp!"


    "Ki ki ki ki ki!"


    Different sounds instantly reverberated everywhere in muffled tones as the panicked sound of a myriad beasts were heard.


    It was a normal day and every beast in Nightmare Beast Ind was still enjoying their day and going about their activities, they never expected a Grade C Nightmare Beast to suddenly appear and spoil the show.


    Predator didn''t care that he was disrupting the lives of thousands of beasts.


    Instead, he reveled in their panic and shock.


    Predator felt an urge to cackle like a certain human that he hated.


    To him, them panicking at his aura was only natural, this was supposed to be the natural reaction of anyone that stood before him apart from his father and his fellow contracted brothers. Everyone else should bow before his aura!


    Their panic only served to validate his current power.


    "ROAR¡­!!!" Predator roared arrogantly.


    The mighty shockwaves of his roar reverberating through this ind sent every single beast silent, they knew that an apex predator was here.


    After the encounters in Norman''sb, Predator changed psychologically.


    After being tortured and experimented on alongside his master, this Nightmare Beast''s personality became even more one-sided and slightly twisted. This intensified even more after his breakthrough.


    To Predator, the only reason why he was tortured by Norman in the first ce was because he was weak. Since then, weakness became a taboo to him.


    To him, he deserved the torture.


    If he was strong, he would have never been tortured. His encounters in Norman''sb for weeks tempered this beast mentally and turned him into the mentality monster that managed to breakthrough in captivity.


    Without Predator''s talent and determination that pushed him to improve as much as possible, the battle of Hellfire Mountains would have been different.


    Legs would have never been powerful enough to n and mount aeback, this was how pivotal Predator''s contribution was to the war.


    To the current Predator, only those that were powerful enough were deserving of his respect. Anyone else was beneath him, this was why this Nightmare Beast was not above spreading his aura tyrannically.


    "I¡­ AM¡­ HOME!"


    "ROAR¡­!!!" Predator roared again.


    A few minutester, he arrived before the entrance to a cave. Unlike before, Predator could no longer fit into the entrance of this cave. This was the cave where Legs met him and turned him into his first contracted beast.


    Looking at the cave, memories flowed through this beast''s head, this was where his journey officially started.


    Compared to the others like Bran, Predator was the one who overwhelmingly loved brute-force than using his brain in battle but this didn''t mean that Predator didn''t keep memories, he just kept them deeper than others.


    After looking at this cave to his satisfaction, Predator moved on.


    Bzzz!


    One tear of space and he arrived at his destination.


    "Predator, you are back". The biggest and oldest Nightmare Beast whoid upon the ancient rock alongside the other 2 ancestors spoke with a smile.


    "Yes, I''m back!" Predator''s voice was full of enthusiasm.


    "Congrattions on your battle".


    Predator conveniently ignored that. "You told me that if I want to get stronger faster, I shoulde meet you".


    "I am here!" His voice radiated with excitement.


    "You¡­!" The smallest of the 3 Nightmare Beasts was already getting incensed again as he red at the arrogant Nightmare Beast.


    The biggest and oldest Nightmare Beast smiled. "I told you that you have a lot to learn about our race".


    "I told you that if you want to get stronger faster, you have a lot to learn".


    "Huh?" Predator red usingly at the gigantic Nightmare Beast.


    He chuckled which only sounded like a roar. "Follow me".


    Predator exhibited no doubts, as soon as the gigantic Nightmare Beast stood up, he followed him. The main reason why Predator didn''tsh out was because he could already feel that this mighty Nightmare beast was stronger than him.


    This alone already ignited his respect for this powerful beast.


    He was not resigned to admit defeat though, he felt challenged which gave him even more motivation to keep on giving his best.<novelnext></novelnext>


    With different thoughts filled with battle and his current challenge flowing through his head, Predator barely knew when they arrived at their destination.


    "We''re here". The eldest Nightmare Beast''s voice sounded calmly.


    He turned to look at Predator. "Predator, this is where we originated from".


    "Huh?" Predator looked closely.


    At this moment, standing before him at the deepest core of the Nightmare Beast Ind where any human had ever been to was a huge metal monster. If Legs was here, he would easily deduce that this was a crashed spaceship.


    "This is the relic left by our father¡­, our ancestor". As he said this, the gigantic Nightmare Beast became emotional as he seemed to remember the past.


    He led the way into the ruined spaceship.


    Curious more than ever before now, Predator followed inside the spaceship. Inside was derelict and ruined, nothing much remained of the spaceship, it was a shadow of its former self. Despite the ruins, one thing remained, paintings.


    All across the body of this spaceship, as the biggest Nightmare Beast led him in, Predator discovered that he was following a story in the painting.


    The first painting was that of a gigantic ck Dragon. Unlike other Dragons like Craxes that Predator already met, this huge ck Dragon didn''t breathe red fire, it rather breath dark energy, dark mes, and manipted metal.


    Drawn alongside it in this painting was a gigantic Snake. This Snake was far bigger than the ck Dragon, it seemed to epass the entire world.


    At this moment, in the drawing, both beasts seemed to be embroiled in battle. Noticing Predator''s confusion, the biggest Nightmare Beast exined.


    "That is the World-Devouring Snake, Ishtra, our father''s eternal rival".


    "And that¡­?"


    "Yes, that is our ancestor, Nightmare Dragon Crag". The oldest Nightmare Beast''s voice showed outmost respect and supplication.


    Predator navigated to the next painting where he saw a Fox appear.


    "And that¡­?"


    The biggest Nightmare Dragon finally showed anger for the first time. "That is the Illusion Emperor, Ariel, the backstabbing demon!"


    By now, Predator was already drawn in by the story that the painting illustrated. Through the paintings, Crag and Ishtra were initially engaged in a battle to the death when the sly Fox intervened and stabbed Crag on the back.


    Faced against 2 of such powerful opponents, no matter how strong he was individually, Crag could not take it, he was injured.


    The Illusion Fox and World-Devouring Snake literally pursued him to the ends of space to end his life. When it became clear that he won''t survive, the powerful Nightmare Dragon hijacked a spaceship, this spaceship.


    Overloading it with his energy, the spaceship elerated faster than ever before, barely keeping him out of reach of his pursuing opponents.


    Through the spaceship, Grag created a measure for his legacy and will to survive. Through the biotechnology and research machines in the spaceship, he was able to create an entirely new DNA sample that was made after his own.


    He hoped for miniature versions of himself to survive through this.


    By the time that he finished creating it, his enemies already caught up. Grag decisively abandoned the spaceship and sent it on course to a random location.


    "I hope you survive, my children".


    "Live and avenge my death".


    "As for me, my dignity won''t be tainted, I will fight till death!"


    Grag stayed true to his words, he stood his ground against his 2 overwhelmingly powerful opponents and fought till death.


    The spaceship''s powerful sensors recorded everything and imprinted them in its body as this painting as instructed by Grag before abandoning it.


    Originally, the spaceship without Grag''s support would have never been able to escape the enemies'' pursuit but Grag sent it on course to a ckhole. Once the ckhole dragged the Spaceship in its gravity, the enemies gave up hope.


    To them, the spaceship won''t survive.


    This was supposed to be the case but centuriester, the ruined spaceship arrived at an unassuming backwater, Darvis.


    "Our Ancestor was a Dragon?!"


    By now, even Predator was astonished by the full story.


    The biggest and oldest Nightmare Beast didn''t say a word, he went further into the Spaceship to the pilot''s seat. There, he opened a book.


    "Apart from the paintings, this is the only thing that our father left behind".


    "Contained inside is his will to determine our leader".


    The biggest Nightmare Beast opened the book. There was only one page inside and it only contained 2 sentences.


    "The day an Annihtion Nightmare Beast is born, he shall be your leader".


    "Unlocking Annihtion is the way to be a Nightmare Dragon".


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    "¡­!" Predator looked in shock.


    All 3 Grade C Nightmare Beasts were already prostrated before him.


    "Leader!" They pledged their allegiance.


    "¡­!"

 Chapter 332 Dominator TV; The National Cup Tournament

    8:00pm, normal Earth time¡­


    "Hello everyone, my name is Kate Catherine and here with me on this special TV show is Dave Simmons, a retired professional gamer".


    "Hi Dave, how was your day?"


    "It has been awesome Kate, not as awesome as yours though I think". Both speakersughed at the typical Dave poke that was bing moremon by the day at every subsequent Dominator TV show.


    As both speakers engaged in second-hand jokes on stage, a certain spectator in the VIP seats could not help but narrow his eyes suspiciously.


    He red at Dave. "Manchester f*cking¡­!"


    Jax got goosebumps on hearing the first word alone, his reflexes were fast like usual as he tapped him on the leg and hissed. "Stop it!"


    "Stop it!" Jax stressed again while gritting his teeth.


    "But Boss, it''s not right, Dave is being shameless".


    He put on a righteously angry look on his face. "How dare he flirt with my crush on stage? Is he not scared of breaking my heart?" He fumed.


    "¡­" Jax was speechless.


    "Boss Blue River, I''m telling you, this guy is a fraud".


    Jax sighed. "How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me by my game name when we''re out of the game?"


    "Oh, sorry boss, I''ve just gotten used to your real name, that''s all".


    "¡­"


    "Ah sh*t! He touched her hand!"


    He seemed shocked. "He f*cking touched her hand!"


    "That mother*cker!" He hissed in a muffled tone.


    "He''s f*cking after my life!"


    "Manchester f*cking united!" Smokes of anger seemed to emanate from his head.


    Bonk!


    "Stop it¡­!" Jax hissed with a stern look on his face.


    Horny Assassin rubbed his head even as a look of grievance filled his face. In the end, he respected his boss'' wish though and finally kept quiet.


    In his mind, he had other ns. ''We''ll meet in the walkway!''


    "Hihihi!" Kate Catherine giggled in a good-natured manner.


    After taking a few more jibes and jokes at each other to liven the atmosphere of the show, Kate finally took it a step further and went to the point.


    "So Dave, what do you think of Version 1 so far and the tournament?"


    Dave rubbed his chin. "My overall impression of Version 1 is that it has been full of rollercoasters. Though most yers were not strong enough to affect the big picture, we were still able to witness the tension from the cliffhangers".


    "The battle twists, everything, my verdict was that it was super exciting".


    "Dominator already has a huge argument as the best VR game of thest decade despite premiering just one Version so far".


    "As for the tournament, I think that the pro yers are prepared".


    "With all the fighting that took ce in the game, all of them had the opportunities to level up to the peak of Version 1. Also, with the mysterious NPC Legs, they more or less all have powerful weapons of the same level".


    "Due to this, I think the oue of battles in this tournament will be mostly determined by real battle skills and experience rather than weapons".


    "I''m anticipating it, I think it will be interesting".


    Kate''s bright smile blossomed. "Dave, thanks for your professional opinion, I also think millions of the fans who''ve fell in love with Dominator agree with you".


    "What I''m most hyped for is the champions and dark horses that would emerge from this tournament, I can''t wait to see them all".


    "Also guys, be hyped!" Kate whooped excitedly.


    "After waiting for months, the selection process is about to begin!"


    Instantly after she spoke, the scenes on the screen changed to all the teams that would be participating in the tournament. For the national cup tournament, only 10 professional Chinese teams qualified.


    The screen soon changed again as the team logos disappeared only to be reced by small pictures of individual yers which filled the screen.


    Kate exined. "The national cup tournament for Dominator will mostly be in line with the tournament formats of simr VR games".


    "The tournament is divided into the team and individual battles".<novelnext></novelnext>


    "The team battles will be fought twice a week after the fixtures are drawn. 5 teams will proceed from the first round, then 4 teams will contest in the quarterfinals, thest team will contest with thest-ced team in the quarterfinals for a ce in the semifinals".


    "After the quarterfinals, 3 teams will meet in the semifinals".


    "All 3 teams will y against each other once".


    "The 2 teams with the most wins advances to the finals".


    "The team that wins in the final will be crowned the Chinese National Dominator Cup Champion for it''s very first edition".


    "As for the individual battles, the set-up is much looser. The thousands of contestants will fight elimination battles until only 48 are left".


    "The 48 will contest in the 2nd elimination round to lessen the numbers".


    "After that, the qualified 24 will contest in the quarterfinals for a ce in the semifinals, after which only 12 yers will proceed to the semifinals".


    "After the semifinals, 6 yers will proceed to the finals where they''ll have to fight each other in one-on-one battles to determine the winners through the yers with the most wins afterpleting his battles".


    "The winner, 1st runners up, and 2nd runners up will be decided this way".


    The exnation for the first ever Dominator Cup Tournament was slightly cumbersome andplicated but to the avid Dominator fans, it waspletely worth it, they didn''tin.


    During the show, the fixtures were decided.


    After the Dominator TV show, a few hourster in the game, like scheduled, the first National Dominator Cup Tournament took ce.


    The very first battle in the tournament was about to be fought.


    Inside the game, the server projected words up in the skies to all Darvis yers. The very first fixture in the tournament.


    [yer #Smoking Thunder vs #Your Papa!]


    Smoking Thunder entered the battlefield in a bombastic manner as he flexed his Broad Sword. "All enemies shall bow before my might!"


    "Your Papa!" The other yer dered arrogantly.


    Smoking Thunder frowned. "What does that mean? Is that Chinese?"


    "Hehe¡­" His opponent chuckled as he brought out his twin iron rods and pointed them tauntingly at him. "Your Papa!"


    Boom!


    Your Papa rushed forward first with his twin iron rods.


    Smoking Thunder was perplexed by the username and ent of his opponent, this guy didn''t seem Chinese. He didn''t care though as he braced himself for impact with his sword, he aimed for only victory.


    Sword and iron rods collided; the sh began in earnest!


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The battle was epic and fast-paced. Blood flew constantly as both yers chipped at each other''s health, their fighting styles were distinct.


    Whereas Smoking Thunder preferred to stay on the defensive, calcte his moves, wait for his opponent to make mistakes before exploding with tyrannically thunderous counterattacks, Your Papa was a pound for pound yer.


    With his twin iron rods, this yer was all about attack, attack, and attack.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Your Papa was aggressive as he constantlyunched his crazy attacks!


    Smoking Thunder found it hard to defend most times but his firm basics enabled him to hold on. His calcted counterattacks dealt lethal damage each time, and it seemed like he would win until he made a mistake.


    Your Papa anticipated one of his counterattacks at the end.


    As soon as Smoking Thunderunched forward enthusiastically at the opening, Your Papa dodged, it was a trap!


    Before his opponent could recover, Your Papa lunged in for the kill!


    Smoking Thunder was caught off-guard, he could only attack pound for pound and against an expect of this specific battle style, he stood no chance.


    Your Papa battered him till he faded into white lights.


    [Winner: Your Papa!]


    The first individual battle of the tournament came to an end.

 Chapter 333 Moving On

    ng! ng!


    The sound of construction works reverberated in the background as Legs'' vision was slowly brought to life by the wonderful architects of the Landmark Construction Company, they were doing a good job.


    Even as the professional architects directed the work, the menial carpenters and other workers did the grunt work as the construction continued.


    The works of the menial workers were supported and augmented by the powers of the construction superhumans.


    These superhumans who were contracted to the Landmark Construction Company were mostly those who did not have the talent to make it on the battlefield, or simply didn''t have the courage to fight in the battlefields.


    So, instead of risking their lives in battles that they mostly saw as meaningless, they rather worked in thispany where they were paid handsomely, few normal humans earn as much as they do.


    With their superhuman expertise, the work progressed at a brisk pace.


    At a certain corner, a female Earth Elementalist was focused as she worked on mass-producing and strengthening bricks for the building construction.


    With her proficiency with the Earth Element, she could manipte the earth inside the bricks, making them stronger and more durable.


    At another part, a Wind Elementalist was hard at work transporting different construction tools and materials from one ce to the other at an efficiency that could not be matched by any normal human''s endeavors.


    While all these happened and as the headquarters slowly came to life, on top Leo, Christensen supervised everything with a satisfied look on his face.


    On top his beast, Christensen could not help but rub Leo''s white fur affectionately as lots of thoughts and memories flowed through his head.


    "Awoo?" Leo questioned.


    Christensen smiled. "I''ve changed and grown a lot".


    "Deciding to be Legs'' student was really the best decision of my whole life, it literally turned my situation around in ways I never expected".


    "Look at me now". He looked at the ongoing construction. "Supervising the creation and execution of a project this big, who would have thought?"


    "Back when I was still a Prince, all I remembered was destroying things, asking for more fancy toys, and ruining my parent''s projects".


    "Thinking back now, I was so foolish Leo".


    "Awoo!" Leo nodded in consent.


    Christensenughed. "Master changed my life".


    "Look at me now, a Grade C Superhuman, who could have thought?" He chuckled to himself as his eyes suddenly narrowed on seeing a familiar sight.


    A few kilometers away from where he and his beast strolled where the Pugilist branch of the headquarters was being built, his junior apprentice brother walked alongside a beautiful and extremely maturedy.


    "Those too¡­" Christensen muttered suspiciously.


    de turned to look at Eleanor with a bright smile on his face.


    "Your efforts in the past few days have really paid their weight in gold more than I expected, there are already over a thousand Pugilists under my wing".


    A few days ago, as the construction efforts started, Eleanor finally decided to pull in her authority and influence. Through her connections, thousands of Pugilists all across the became aware of the ongoing construction.


    Before its fall, as one of the 3 most dominant main organizations and influenced by Jon Stones, the Pugilist Academy was well-known among the Pugilist circle. Not only did it have a lot of members, it also had lots of fans.


    When Jon Stones died, the Pugilist Academy literally withered from its roots. Even when the news circted that Jon Stones now had a sessor, most didn''t believe it until Eleanor finally took action through her connections.


    Once it was confirmed that a new Pugilist Academy was being built, thousands of Pugilists, including the die-hard loyalists trooped back.


    Now, they all helped in the construction work to bring the Pugilist Academy back to it''s peak of power at a gradual pace.


    de did not hesitate in praising Eleanor and giving all the credits to her.


    From praising, he engaged in different conversations with the powerful warriordy about different topics rting to the future of the Pugilist Academy.


    After minutes of conversation, de finally changed the subject.


    "So, what about you?"


    "Me? What about me?" Eleanor was taken aback.


    ? de sighed. "Since my mentor''s death, though you''ve always tried to mask it, I am a pure Pugilist, I can still notice the guilt and sadness in your heart".


    "You feel that you should have been there for him".<novelnext></novelnext>


    "You feel guilty that you should have done more to safeguard him".


    "You feel that even if you couldn''t save him, perhaps if you were there, you would have received the opportunity to die with him which is your ideal version of a perfect happily-ever after ending".


    "¡­" Eleanor frowned without saying a word.


    "Well let me tell you this, my mentor never wanted any of these from you".


    "From heaven, I know that his soul is screaming desperately for you to move on and be the cheerful woman that you were before".


    She scowled. "You have no idea what is happening to his soul".


    "I do". de''s expression became sad. "I actually do".


    "You don''t know him!" Eleanor''s tone increased, sounding defending.


    de sighed. "It seems you still don''t know what happened. As Jon Stones died, he transferred everything that he had to me, including his life experiences and his outlook of life. Through it, I learned much more about him".


    "Even in hisst moments, my mentor never wished you bad".


    "All he wished for you was to live a better life without him".


    "All your life since knowing him, you loved him without him ever reciprocating your love. It took until he died once to acknowledge your love".


    "Even with that, he still saw himself as inadequate for you".


    "Inwardly, my mentor thought he didn''t deserve you".


    "He was too noble and risk-taking for your liking but he can''t change, not even for you". de''s face radiated even more sadness. "That is the sacrifice that we Pugilists at the top pay for power".


    "We be narrow-minded and firm in our beliefs, few things can change it and unfortunately, not even you could change his sensibilities".


    "You know his death wish?"


    By now, Eleanor''s eyes already turned watery as she clenched her fists. "No".


    "He hoped you don''t wallow too much in mourning after he died".


    "He hoped you could move on fast".


    "He hoped you could find the real love of your life and get peace".


    "That was what he sincerely wished for you".


    Eleanor covered her face to hide her tears. "I can''t love anymore".


    "You can!" de walked closer to her.


    "There are many candidates out there not worse than my mentor, a prime example is Core Protector Shanks, he will be our very first President in a short time and he is still single, you can be his wife".


    "I believe my mentor''s soul will truly rest at peace if you do that".


    Eleanor didn''t reply for a long time, she simply let her tears flow freely until they could no longer flow. She finally raised her head to look at de.


    "Thank you¡­" She forced a chuckle. "I can really see much of him in you now".


    Without saying another word, Eleanor turned and left.


    de sighed. ''I wish you luck''.


    He turned and looked at the gigantic building that was slowly taking shape to be the next sanctuary of Pugilists.


    Even as the construction process continued, Legs remained in the Void Dimension even as the National Dominator Cup tournament continued, ramping up more excitement every day.


    Version 1''s sequel was slowly drawing to an end.

 Chapter 334 1st Team Tournament Battle

    [yer #Gypsy King vs #Voldemort006!]


    In Version 1, despite the fact that in Darvis, the Elementalist Academy and Summoner Academy had more prestige than the Pugilist Academy, not a lot of yers were attracted to the former 2 main sses.


    The reasoning for most of the yers was simple.


    "Pugilists are much cooler!"


    Elementalists were shy, being able to deal different types of AOE damage from a distance. It was also cool being able to y a Summoner where you could sit at the rear while conveniently sending andmanding beasts into battle.


    Despite the ingenuity of both main sses and the unique experience that followed it, it still could not trump the appeal of the Pugilist ss to the yers.


    One of the appeals of VR games was the fact that yers could almost feel everything like it was real. This made melee battles much more real and exciting, and the Pugilist ss was the one who embodied meleebat the best.


    "Few feelings eclipse the moment as my fist sink into my opponent''s flesh".


    "Throwing attacks from a distance is shy and all that, but nothing beats skin for skin, Pugilist is the main ss of the big men".


    "Elementalists and Summoners are for kids".


    Despite Legs'' subtle propaganda to entice more yers to be Summoners to increase his profit, not even the prospects of enjoying the benefits of this hidden NPC were able to beat the appeal of being a Pugilist.


    This was why in the first ever National Dominator Cup Tournament, most of the participants in the individual battles were dominated by Pugilists.


    The first 2 battles were all between Pugilists, Voldemort006 became the first yer to break this paradigm, this gutsy yer was an Elementalist.


    Of course, the Gypsy King was a Pugilist.


    "You shall be the first that shall die to the supremacy of AOEbat".


    "Shut up!" The Gypsy King''s tongue was more poisonous than a viper''s.


    As soon as he spoke once, he equipped his pair of boxing gloves before charging towards his opponent with incredible momentum. Despite the insulting words from his opponent, Voldemort006 only scowled, he didn''t lose his cool.


    He smirked before focusing on his legs. "I''ll teach you to be humble".


    "Gadget Ability: Gravity Boots!"


    Instantly, the yer''s originally unassuming boots became engulfed by a bright blue glow. The spectators were surprised, this was when they confirmed that this yer was the first to bring an Enchanted gadget.


    Voldemort006 didn''t stop at that, he brought out his Elementalist staff.


    Then the next moment, this rich yer levitated into the skies under the ability of his Enchanted boots. In the skies, the Gypsy King was totally neutralized, this Pugilist didn''t have long-ranged abilities to reach him in the skies.


    "Here marks your end in the tournament".


    Voldemort006 spammed all his Elementalist abilities.


    The Gypsy King tried his best but his ss limited him too much, he was unable tond a single attack on his opponent before his health bottomed up.


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    This was the fastest and most one-sided battle since the start of the tournament, the spectating yers were all left speechless.


    [Winner: Voldemort006!]


    After 3 individual battles on the first day, the individual fixtures for that day finally came to an end but what followed was much more exciting to the yers.


    What followed was the first sh of the pro teams.


    [First Team Battle Fixture:]


    [Team Blue Autumn vs Team Roaring Tiger!]


    "Yayyy!!!" The spectating yers went loose!


    "You''re my hero!"


    "I love you Henry! You''re the best Sword God!"


    "Henry, please marry me!"


    "I want to carry your kids!"


    The ridiculous fanatism and enthusiasm of the yers was really demonstrated at this moment as some of their idols were finally about to enter the stage for the very first tournament since Dominator''sunch.


    It was not surprising that most of the yers were all over the Sword God, but he was not the only yer who had fans here.


    "Tiger King! I love you! You can do this!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Beat the Sword God and his barking dogs!"


    At another side, a new name was heard.


    "Ghost Sentry, we love you!"


    "You can do this, we gat you!"


    As they walked to the battle arena, Ghost Sentry felt overwhelmed. Looking around him at the yers who were present physically, who either hated or cheered him on, and knowing that more were watching, he felt contented.


    ''I did it''. He soliloquized absentmindedly.


    ''I fulfilled my dream, I made it into a professional team''.


    ''I can''t believe I''m about to make my debut alongside the Sword God''.


    Despite fighting countless battles in-game alongside the Sword God already, when it came to the professional battles, the pressure finally got to him.


    Even as he slowly freaked out inside, he suddenly felt a firm hand pat him. He turned to look only to see the familiar funky-styled hair waving to a nonexistent wind, this sight alone made his heart at peace first.


    The Sword God''s azure eyes looked at him. "Stay calm".


    "Don''t freak out, just be yourself".


    "Follow my lead, free yourself and fight to your own satisfaction". The Sword God radiated total confidence as he spoke.


    It was not much but this was exactly what Ghost Sentry needed, he nodded firmly. "I will, thanks Captain".


    The Sword God smiled before finally looking up at their opponents.


    Unlike the Blue Autumn Team, the Roaring Tiger team was not as much of a local name in the Chinese gamemunity. It was a new club that started recently, it achieved so much fame mainly because of its owner and captain.


    The Tiger King was the owner and also the captain of this game club.


    By pumping in a lot of money to its development, he was able to recruit a lot of skilled yers to round up his team to apetitive state.


    This was their 3rd professional stage to prove their mettle as a big Chinese game club. Qualifying to this level was already an achievement but to all the teams that qualified, they had a lingering ambition to go even further.


    The only obstacle to them was that their first opponent was arguably the current best professional VR game team in China.


    The Blue Autumn Team being fixtured to fight on the first day was not a fluke, the best team starting on the first day was a great way to hype the tournament.


    The Tiger King was motivated to try his best though. "Come on guys, we can do this, let''s give them a run for their money".


    When the fight finally started, things didn''t exactly go ording to their n.


    "Combination Attack: Continuous Attacks: Ghost and Rain!"


    Ghost Sentry''s debut on the professional scene was explosive!


    Combining with the Sword God, they provided an unforgettable spectacle for all the spectating yers. This was exactly what they came to watch.


    With the Sword God''s light sword striking with a speed akin to that of light, raining attacks on the enemies, and with Ghost Sentry''s saber attacking from the dark like a ghost stalking humans in the night, the enemies were suppressed!


    This powerful disy enabled the other 3 pro yers of the Blue Autumn team to be unleashed, they cornered the enemies from behind.


    Despite the Tiger King''s impressive disy, he could not turn it around alone.


    The Sword God''s light sword cut him into fragments of white light.


    On his debut, Ghost Sentry managed to kill 2 enemy yers!


    This was a debut performance for the history books.


    [Winner: Blue Autumn Team!]


    At the end of the battle, the avid fans were going crazy.


    "Henry! You''re my love forever!"


    "I want your light sword deep inside me baby!"


    "I love you Ghost Sentry!"


    "Damn, they didn''t even their substitute yer to win!"


    Amid the explosive cheers, Ghost Sentry basked in his first victory.


    He smiled. ''Winning feels nice¡­''

 Chapter 335 Void Lord

    "WHO¡­?" The voice reverberated like thunder.


    "WHO DARES TO INTRUDE INTO DORONION''S TERRITORY?!"


    The Reptilian Void Monster was loud and unyielding as it charged out with its army of Void Beasts to confront the daring intruders in its territory.


    It proved extremely stubborn to reason; it didn''t listen to reason.


    "THEY''RE INSULTING US!"


    "LET''S KILL THEM!"


    "Huh?" Legs was left bbergasted at the logic.


    "KILL!"


    Doronion didn''t seem to care about the opinion of an alien though as he aggressively led the charge forward with his gigantic bloated Bug Void Monster.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Legs sighed. "You leave me no choice".

    ----


    Seeing this, Legs was taken aback. "Wow, that''s crazy".


    He didn''t hesitate though, even as the army of Void Beasts led by the arrogant Doronion charged towards him, he limatized to the wings that grew in ce of his hands as he dived in for the attack the next moment.


    At this moment of truth against his first opponent in the Void Dimension, fused with Bran in the Void Dimension, Legs experienced a smooth feeling of power and freedom unlike few things he had experienced before now.


    BOOM!


    It was a swift and efficient battle.


    6 minutester¡­


    "You¡­!"


    "Y-You are a Void Lord?!"


    With red blood flowing out of his body in waves, this Reptilian Grade C Void Beast cowered in fear as he looked at Bran with horror in his eyes.


    Few of his beasts died in the battle that started and ended swiftly, but like him, they all cowered at the back as they all directed looks of horror at Bran. The sight left Legs curious about their reactions.


    He didn''t me their cowardice though, he even felt slight pity for them. When the battle started, Legs was left bbergasted at the efficiency.


    Only Doronion and his mount were qualified enough to slightly damage him and Bran, all the damage from the others'' attacks werepletely negated.


    And with Bran''s damage potential massively amplified, Doronion stood no chance, he was battered senseless till he became like this.


    "This should not be possible!" Doronion was going crazy.


    "How can you be a Void Lord?!"


    Bran let his aura loose again, Doronion literally pissed himself.


    "Great Void Lord, have disdain on a lowlife like me".


    "Do not taint your holiness with the filthiness of a filth like me".


    "Live your day like I''m as insignificant as a dust".


    "I know I''m as insignificant as a dust before you".


    "Your glory is too vaunted to be tainted by filth".


    "¡­"


    Legs was taken aback by this sudden turn around. ''The f*ck!''


    ''Is this guy John''s Void brother?''


    Despite how calcting and observant Legs was, Doronion seeded in his trick, he felt real disdain for this shameless Grade C Void Beast.<novelnext></novelnext>


    ''How can a Grade C Beast be this shameless?'' He was speechless.


    Despite being speechless though, this didn''t affect his curiosity in the slightest, Legs red at the Reptilian monster. "Why are you so shocked that he is a Void Lord? Tell me everything that you know!"


    Legs'' tone was so authoritative and final that Doronion could not wiggle himself out of it. This Reptilian Void Beast raised his head to look at Bran once, seeing that the Void Raven didn''t object, he finally gathered the courage to speak.


    "Void Lords are the masters here".


    "I don''t know how you don''t know it but Void Lords are at the top of the food chain here, only below the Void Emperors and Monarchs".


    "A weak Raven like this guy is never supposed to have the aura of a Void Raven". Instantly after he started speaking, this Void Reptile revealed his real trait as a bbering monster, he instantly forgot his fears and bbered on.


    "The Void Emperors mostly stay in their mighty kingdoms though, which leaves the Void Lords as the tyrant at the top of the food chain most times".


    ''So you actually have such a nice voice funed for gossip when you were shouting ''intruders'' so crazily''. Legs was secretly amazed.


    In the end, he had to interrupt, Doronion was talking too much.


    "These Void Lords, in human terms, how strong are they?"


    "Oh, you''re a human?"


    "¡­"


    Legs stared at this reptile.


    "Ah¡­, cough¡­" He coughed awkwardly and stole another hesitant nce at the Raven. "Void Lords are normally as strong as human Grade A Supers".


    "¡­"


    Now, Legs was impressed and wary at the same time.


    ''Damn, Grade A Void Beasts wander here?''


    Despite being spooked, Legs was not entirely deterred, he already had an idea about the Void Dimension from his previous life. Lastly, through Doronion, he confirmed that Bran was more than qualified to grow his own territory.


    That was all that he needed.


    "Doronion".


    "Yes human sir!" The reptile floated at attention, by now, he could already tell that Legs had more authority than the Void Lord.


    "You shall be Bran''s first subordinate".


    "¡­"


    Doronion was taken aback, instantly, imaginary tears flowed down this reptiles'' eyes but knowing his situation, he easily epted it.


    "Yes human sir!"


    "Your army is now Bran''s army".


    "As his assistant, you will be his bestpanion in his conquest".


    "Do you have a candidate that can be easily won to increase his territory?"


    By now, Legs also already confirmed that this bulk of space was originally Doronion''s territory. Now, he already took it, this was now Bran''s territory.


    Once Legs asked the question, Doronion''s eyes lit up as he almost let off a devious master. "Yes human sir, I have just the perfect candidate".


    ¡­


    "DORONION, YOU TRAITOR!"


    "HOW DARE YOU BETRAY OUR RACE?!"


    Unlike Doronion, Bakthar, Doronion''s eternal enemy and rival was a powerful Grade C Void Beast shaped like a Snake with hands. He had 4 hands with no legs, and all 4 hands wielded different types of spears with Void powers.


    His gigantic tail was just like any snake and it wasced with lethal poison.


    With Doronion''s help, ruthlessly exposing his rival''s weaknesses and vulnerabilities, Bakthar posed even less of a threat against Bran.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Blink!


    You have activated active ability: Tungsten Feathers!


    You have activated active ability: Void Spears!


    You have activated active ability: Obliterate!


    ----


    Bakthar was powerful, even slightly more powerful than Doronion but his rival exposing his weaknesses made the battle easier for Bran despite the fact that Legs didn''t fuse with him to help him fight this time.


    All Legs did was cheat by directing Bran through his closer connection than ever before since his Grade C breakthrough, being able to activate active abilities on Bran''s behalf.


    In the Void Dimension, Bran''s Void abilities became smoother than ever before. With less mana, he could literally blink through distances in the void dimension like he was simply ying a game, the efficiency was crazy.


    With the Blink, Bran dodged all of Bakthar''s spear attacks.


    And with his other abilities, he battered the powerful Void Beast into submission, Bran was unmatched yet.


    "SURRENDER!" Bran''s voice reverberated powerfully.


    The culture among the beasts in the Void Dimension was simr to that of the wolves in the beast ne.


    By invoking a ritual battle like the Vrka Yuddha, despite Bakthar''s famed pride unlike Doronion, this Void Beast still surrendered after being defeated.


    Void Beasts grow stronger by devouring other Void Beasts of the same rank, but the reason why Legs didn''t let Bran devour yet was because this was not yet the time for personal growth but for a collective growth.


    After this victory, Legs met his beast onest time.


    "I have helped you build the foundation, do the rest".


    "Use this time to build your Void army, do not disappoint me".


    After leaving his expectations, Legs finally teleported out of the Void Dimension, leaving his contracted beast to his own devices.

 Chapter 336 Emperor Of The Steep Hills

    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Bzzz!


    Legs teleported directly from the Void Dimension to the Beast ne.


    As he grew as a Summoner, the dimensions that Legs had ess to also grew. From just the Beast ne, he could now also ess the Elemental ne, the Spirit ne, and the Void Dimension which increased his options.


    This time, he left to the Beast ne for a specific reason.


    As soon as he passed through the rainbow bridge, on setting his sights on this world with violet clouds again, Legs felt like it had been years since he came here. ''Clown''s crazy shenanigans really drained me a lot''.


    Due to not nting an anchor ahead of time, he was not able to arrive at his intended destination immediately, he took the rest journey on foot.


    In no time, Legs arrived at his destination.


    Unlike thest time that Legs visited here, the Steep Hills already changed a lot. Theyout was still the same, it was the sheer number of wolves here that changed, it was like from an army, it turned into a kingdom of wolves.


    More than ten thousand wolves were now in Ak''s territory!


    This was a crazy amount of mobilizable power.


    As he looked at all the wolves, Legs acknowledged him. ''Without a doubt, though his talent is not up there, his hard work is the best''.


    Since receiving his master''s mandate to build a huge army that can help him in battles, Ak had been focused on this task like it meant the life to him.


    Despite the crazy number of wolves, it did not take Legs long to see him.


    "Awoo!"


    "Awoo!"


    On top of the rock which already became Ak''s throne, 4 energetic young wolf pups howled excitedly as they circled round their father.


    In recent times, after bing a Grade C Emperor Wolf, Ak''s reputation in the Steep Hills increased to the maximum. In just a matter of days, thousands of more wolves joined his pack, rapidly increasing his numbers.


    After bing a Grade C Wolf, the whole of the Steep Hills became his turf.


    To most of the wolves, he was the high and mighty Emperor Wolf but here he was ying with his young pups.


    Ak despite thinking of much more important matters indulged his energetic pups as he gave the time to y with them.


    This was until the youngest of the pups crossed a line.


    Climbing on top his father''s head, this young wolf grinned before biting at his father''s ear. Ak was not injured but nheless, he was annoyed by this as he finally moved, raising his hand to swat away the energetic pup.


    The young wolf was surprisingly quick, it jumped away before the paw could hit. Rogue 1 roared in crazyughter at the sight.


    "Seiko will definitely be a great hunter like her father".


    "See how agile she has be".


    Bone sneered. "Shameless¡­, stop fawning over the pup, she will never like you no matter how much you fawn over her".


    Rogue 1 scowled and growled aggressively at the Spilodon.


    Unlike the 2 rivals, Rogue 2 and Rogue 3 were much more docile, they simply admired the energy of the young wolves.


    "Anton and Grey are growing far faster than the others, as the males, they''re already the strongest in terms of justbat strength by a margin".


    "They grow so fast". Both Direwolves became dreamy.


    "Anton will definitely be the next Emperor". Rogue 2 was excited.


    "Cypress is more like his mother though, despite her young age, she already show signs of being the first to develop an affinity". Rogue 3 continued.


    "You think she''ll develop the same affinity as the Alpha Queen?"


    As they bbered on about her pups, the majestic Alpha Female watched them with a proud smile on her face. After bing a mother, Nymeria became exposed to more facets of life as a wolf and the Alpha Queen of an Emperor.


    Like Ak hoped before going to war, when he returned, he returned to see his mighty pups waiting for him.


    Watching their father y and discipline them when they go overboard caused a warm feeling to well inside this powerful wolf.


    ''The Steep Hills is weing a new era''.


    ''Brother, I wish you never fell to the dark side¡­, I wish you were here to witness it as Ak leads us to greatness''. She felt slightly sad.


    Over the months, the 3 Rogue brothers and Bone already became Ak''s most trusted subordinates, Warg was now the Commander of Ak''s growing wolf army. Despite the many wolves, wolves were not the only ones on top the rock.


    Lucky came closer. "Ak,e see the final draft of the n".


    The mighty Emperor Wolf finally left his energetic pups.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Sinceing back from her inheritance journey, everything happened so fast, Lucky could barely contribute before it all ended. The opponents that they faced were too powerful for her to contribute as much as she liked.


    Her inability to contribute much in the previous war presented a reality to Lucky that she didn''t expect to see.


    ''Damn, despite bing a Grade C Fox, I''m still this insignificant?''


    Not just her, but Ak also felt the same way. In the previous battle, Legs relied more on the powers of his subss than he relied on his beasts.


    To them, this was uneptable and was why Lucky followed Ak back to the beast ne, Lucky''s Battle Commander already provided a way for them.


    They were determined to regain their relevance.


    ''To contribute more, the best and easiest way is to increase our high-levelbat power, even more now that the humans have so few Grade C powerhouses left to vend off theing war''.


    ''We need to make Ak a true Emperor and increase his reach''. Redmane''s eyes glowed with ambition and intelligence as he spoke.


    ''If he has a few Grade C Wolves as his subordinates, everything will be easier''.


    With that logic, Redmane took helm of the nning and in a few days'' time, he came up with a n to target a rival Wolf Kingdom.


    "Our target is Wolf Warlord Yukon".


    As Ak looked through the final draft of the n, he suddenly paused as he felt a familiar presence arrive in his territory. On turning to look, he bowed.


    "Master".


    On turning to look, Lucky snorted before pouting. "Hmph!"


    Legsughed. "Hey! What''s the matter? What did I do?"


    "She feels neglected". Ak said seriously.


    "¡­"


    This time, even Lucky was taken aback.


    Knowing fully well how much he had neglected his beasts after the battle of Hellfire Mountains due to everything that cropped up, Legs tried his best to joke andugh it off as he created many distracting words.


    This was not too hard an endeavor since literally everything changed. Since hisst timeing here, the Steep Hills already changed a lot.


    Despite all the changes, in the end, what seeded in distracting the others was his instant connection with Ak''s cute pups.


    "Seiko, Anton, Grey, and Cypress huh? Such cute fellows". He grinned as he rubbed the fur of the 4 wolf pups.


    Seiko looked much like his father with the white fur that was mixed with ck hair and pointed ears.


    Anton and Grey looked more like typical wolves with their yellow and white fur, they were both bigger than their 2 little sisters.


    As for Cypress, this pup was the most unique of the family. With ck fur mixed with white and blue colorful hair, she looked like a mythical wolf. Even at this young age, she already learned to control mana.


    Legs was curious. ''She seems special, is this mutation connected to me?''


    Legs didn''t know how this worked but his connection to their father also seemed to affect the pups. On seeing him, they developed instant favorability for him as they demanded affection all over.


    Despite celebrating his contracted beast''s sess, Legs could not help but feel weird seeing the pups, Nymeria, and all the wolves.


    ''Why does it feel like Ak is even more sessful than me?'' He shuddered at the thought.


    ''Ak has an Alpha female already, he has pups now, and he rules over such a huge Wolf Kingdom as the Emperor¡­''


    ''Ahem¡­'' Legs tried to distract himself but Lucky was not allowing it.


    Through their connection, she could slightly read his thoughts.


    "Go get a girlfriend!"


    ''Ouch¡­, that was direct!'' Legs felt emotionally attacked.


    In the end, that small jibe managed to repair his rtionship with his beast pet, Legs finally asked the inevitable. "So, about your inheritance?"


    "I''ve always wanted to know about your adventures".


    "What happened? What sights did you see? Tell me everything". He was hyped since his intuition told him that it was a prime gist.


    Lucky looked at him nonchntly. "I''ll tell you after you help expand Ak''s territory".


    "Tell me and I''ll help you guys".


    "No, after".


    "¡­" Legs was speechless.


    ''Lucky has grown even more''. He felt mixed feelings.

 Chapter 337 Conquest And Gist Side-By-Side!

    The Narrow Hills¡­


    Unlike the elemental ne, the beast ne was like a typical with season changes and all that. Like in any, depending on their needs and physiology, different beasts adapted to different habitats.


    In the beast ne, mostrge wolf circles were concentrated in the hilly and mountainous regions, Ak''s Steep Hills was an easy example.


    The Steep Hills was not a solitary hill though.


    At different directions around this hill, there were other hills that were equally dominated by either other powerful wolves like Ak or powerful beasts of different species.


    In the 4 different directions surrounding the Steep Hills, there were 5 major hills dominated by different powerful beasts.


    Of the 5 though, only 2 were mega packs led by Grade C Monsters.


    The first was the Gorging Clouds, the territory of the mighty Golden-Feathered Eagle. This mutated Golden Eagle mutated after years of growing through countless battles, she ruled over this peak.


    Thest of the 2 mega peaks was the Narrow Hills that was helmed by the mighty Thunder Wolf, Yukon, the original Wolf Overlord of this region.


    Yukon''s kingdom in the Narrow Hills was unlike anything that Ak had ess to. Unlike Ak who recently became a Grade C Wolf, this powerful wolf had ruled as an overlord at the Grade C realm for over a decade already.


    During this time, not only did he manage to amass a ridiculously huge army that could fight on his behalf, he managed to groom another Grade C Wolf.


    Since this Wolf came from under him, she submitted to him.


    Krishna, the Sound Wolf was Yukon''s most trusted subordinate.


    The Narrow Hills was undoubtedly the hardest of all the immediate targets that Ak could set his eyes on, but he decided on going after it nheless.


    This was not arrogance, Ak went for it because he had the means to go all the way through. With Lucky''s assistance and his master suddenlying to help, to the Wind Wolf, the conquest was already a forgone conclusion.


    This time, Warg had to make way for Redmane to be the Battle Commander.


    The Red Fox already formed the ultimate n to pull them through.


    The Narrow Hills had deep foundations and defenses that were fine-tuned for over decades already. It was not called the Narrow Hills without concept, the only way to Tukon''s territory was through a narrow road up the hill.


    This road was not only filled with traps set by the Dark Wolves in Tukon''s kingdom, but it was also heavily defended by wolves.


    The advantages of this narrow road over the years deterred literally every and any rival from ever attempting to raid Tukon''s territory.


    Well, not this time.


    Unlike the Narrow Hills with only 2 Grade C Wolves as the peakbatants, on Ak''s side, there were 4 Grade C peakbatants!


    That afternoon, the pinkish rays as the violet skies baptized the Narrow Hills in their glow was especially bright. All the wolves in this vibrant hilly ecosystem continued with their martial activities even as they preyed on other beasts.


    It seemed like it was going to be like any other day when a mighty rushing wind suddenly came in from the far east.


    Whoosh!


    Unlike before, Ak truly seemed to be a wind envoy, this mighty Wind Wolf became one with the wind as he disappeared in its ethereal form.


    All the borate defensive measures of the Wolf Kingdom were rendered useless before his wind form, Afterall, traps could not hold down wind.


    Wind was formless and ethereal.


    Ak triggered all the lethal traps without being caught in anyone of them, in no time, he was standing before the first giant rock in this hill.


    On top the rock, Ak stood tall as he howled.


    "Awooo¡­!!!"


    "Specialty Ability: Devastating Nature Call!"


    Instantly after Ak howled, it was like the God of Storms descended!


    BOOM!


    Unlike the previous nature call, the devastating nature call was much more deadly. Under Ak''s control, the natural wind energy in the air was manipted to create a mighty and forceful hurricane, dealing a lot of damage.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The immediate defenses of Yukon''s wolves were immediately set in disarray.


    The sound of the ravaging hurricane became the cue that Ak''s subordinates needed as thousands of wolves started charging up this hill.


    With the enemy wolves still in disarray, they were unable to form a proper defense to curb this invasion on time as they climbed up the Narrow Hills. Before they got to the top though, a powerful voice reverberated.


    "INSOLENCE!"


    "HOW DARE YOU DESECRATE LORD YUKON''S SANCTUM?!"


    This loud and powerful voice was followed with substance.


    -----


    Warning! You have been affected by an ability: Sound Saturation!


    Warning! You have been affected by an ability: Sound st!


    Warning! You have been affected by an ability: Catalyst; Wolf Howl!


    ----


    The mighty Sound Wolf came out!


    Krishna took one step forward and howled loudly.


    "Awoo!"


    Instantly, it was like the floodgates of all sound was opened!


    "Whooo¡­!"


    Before the devastating power of sound could fully materialize and deal untold damage to the wolf army though, another opponent came out, Redmane.


    The brown eyes of this Red Fox were calm and calcting.


    "Redmane Specialty: Shadow Vortex!"


    "Redmane Specialty: Shadow Devour!"


    Bzzz!


    The next moment, a vortex opened in mid-air, extending a node to the ethereal shadow dimension. Before Krishna could understand what was going on, a pull was felt from the shadow dimension as it sucked away all sound.


    For a second, everyone felt like they were stuck in a vacuum.


    This measure seeded in rendering the mighty Sound Wolf powerless.


    In this second, Redmane seeded in sucking away all the sound.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Redmane was not done though, his calm eyes remained calcting.


    "Boss Lucky, now!"


    Lucky was casual about it. "Lucky Specialty: Luck Anchor!"


    "Lucky Specialty: Luck Envoy!"


    Bzzz!


    A power of a very mysterious affinity descended!


    Feeling this energy, Legs was amazed and curious. "Luck Anchor? Luck Envoy? Seriously¡­? Lucky, tell me, you must tell me now!"


    "Chill, I will". She smirked. "Augment Ak first".


    Legs did not hesitate.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Commander of the Herd!


    ----


    Even as Ak felt more power flow through him from Legs, he also felt something else as with Lucky as the anchor, he experienced a feeling like he suddenly became an anchor for Lucky to spread his luck hallow.


    His eyes widened in shock and realization of the new mysterious changes.


    "I feel¡­ lucky".


    "Hehe¡­" Ak and Redmane were instantly elevated into an unprecedented state unlike anything that they had encountered before now.


    The Red Fox made another move.


    "Spatial Ability: Space de!"


    Boom!


    Space was rent apart to let the de pass through!


    This time, the enemy wolves definitely did not see iting as it seemed toe out of nowhere, a space de appeared that tore an even deeper hole through their defenses.


    With this, they were thoroughly exposed.


    The Sound Wolf tried to attack again but Ak easily kept her in check. Ak may be new to the Grade C realm but he was definitely no normal wolf, Predator''s hallow alone already rubbed off him, also, he was an Emperor Wolf!


    With Ak keeping the powerful Sound Wolf at bay and Redmane wreaking their defenses, the Narrow Hills became vulnerable unlike ever before.


    "Charge in!" Redmane gave the order.


    "Awoo!"


    "Awoo!"


    "Awoo!"


    With Warg leading the charge, the thousands of wolves rushed up the hill while encountering little to no resistance. Every wolf that recovered fast enough to intercept them didn''t survive Warg, Bone, and the Rogue brothers.


    While this happened, Legs at the back with Lucky listened to prime gist.


    "So, I was taken to this ind outside our".


    "Woah!"


    "There were so many Foxes there, it was like an alternate version of Darvis, Foxes were the boss while every other race were the servants".


    Lucky turned to look at him with a smirk. "Including humans".


    "Huh?"


    She chuckled. "I was greeted by a blue amiable Fox, she showed me around the gigantic pce, that was when I learned that the space ind as a whole was owned by the Illusion Emperor, a Grade S Fox".


    "Ahh¡­!"


    "Hihihi". Lucky chuckled on seeing her father''s shocked expression. "I was so amazed by everything".


    "Compared to her, you are like a bug, you''re too weak".


    "¡­"


    "She was the one that I was privileged to get her inheritance, and guess what? She took me in as her student and taught me personally".


    "¡­!" Legs was growing increasingly more damaged.


    "She was so good and caring to me, she thought me a lot about my potential".


    "¡­"


    "I didn''t want toe back, I did only because I felt your distress when you were captured for torture at the hands of that Clown".


    "¡­" Legs was speechless.


    "Seriously?"


    "You experienced all that?"


    "Why would I lie to you?" Lucky seemed offended at his doubt.


    "INSOLENCE!"


    "WHO DARES TO INTRUDE INTO MY TERRITORY?!"


    Redmane sneered. "Like master, like student".


    Even as Lucky bbered on and Legs listened, the battle progressed, now the real ruler of this hill was finally forced out. Like his student''s entrance, Yukon tried to be as bombastic as possible as he charged out.


    He tried to intimidate them but unfortunately it was not working.


    ''Finally,'' Ak was relieved as he stared straight at the Thunder Wolf.


    "Forget the games, it''s not working, I''m not intimidated".


    "¡­"


    "I challenge you to a Vrka Yuddha".


    Ak was ruthlessly straightforward, Yukon simply stared back at him.

    [Remark: Legs¡­, you see this guy? He''s a f*cking legend!]


    ----


    "¡­" Legs shuddered; his interface remark was unsettling.


    That was not what shocked him the most though, what shocked him the most was the first few tabs when he finally decided to check this wolf''s status.


    A Wolf holding 3 titles was definitely no ordinary wolf. Add it to the extreme notoriety and the fact that his virtual interface referred to this wolf as a Wolf Legend, and Legs was already doubting the logic behind the Vrka Yuddha.


    That was not the end to his apprehension. Compared to Ak, this guy''s base stats were off the charts, he literally beat Ak in every category.


    ''The f*ck!''


    ''Does Ak even stand a chance?!''


    Even as these thoughts went through his head, different thoughts went through the heads of the 2 powerful Grade C Wolves who were currently at a stand-off against each other as their eyes seemed to ignite sparks in the air.


    Like Ak, Yukon was not a bulky wolf, he had a sleek body that was packed with power and thick streamlined muscles, he seemed like a wolf that was regrly working out, he could definitely win a wolf Olympia.


    Despite these simrities though, there were also ring differences.


    Unlike Ak who looked like a charismatic leader who dealt with every problem with his head and his leadership aura, Yukon was different. He looked menacing and dangerous; this was a leader who led through intimidation.


    There was no doubt that his subordinates feared him more than they respected him, the sight of him alone was enough to spook any bystander.


    With 2 uncharacteristic horns growing out of his head, and with what seemed like electric circuit lines sprawling across his body, this Thunder Wolf seemed anything but normal, he was an anomaly.


    "I challenge you to a Vrka Yuddha".


    As soon as Ak said this confidently and loudly, Yukon knew that he already lost the first part of his ploy. His first n was always intimidation.


    Unlike other beasts, intimidation was much more important to him.


    His Wolf Warlord of the Narrow Hills talent increased his notoriety and intimidation factor to the extreme, while his Champion Combatant enabled him to derive even more power from this intimidation factor.


    If his opponent was intimidated, he already half-way won the battle.


    From the beginning, when the invasion started, he knew.


    The only reason why he didn''te out to crush the invaders with overwhelming power immediately was because he already recognized that there were 4 Grade C powerhouses.


    Even for a veteran like him, fighting so many Grade C powerhouses and emerging victoriously was a stretch. Redmane''s intimidating disy rationalized his cautiousness.


    With his defenses mostly destroyed already, with Ak feeling at his peak, his original intention was to suddenlye out and spook the Wind Wolf but it didn''t work. Fortunately, like he spected, Ak wanted a Vrka Yuddha.


    His blue glowing eyes flickered in a calcting manner.<novelnext></novelnext>


    ''A Vrka Yuddha is a double-edged dagger''.


    ''If I ept and lose, I risk losing everything, my sovereignty and lowering myself to a Wolf that is beneath my level''.


    ''If I ept and win, I gain the most from this''.


    ''But if I don''t ept, all 4 of them will fight me. Despite the fact that this is my territory, without fail, if I don''t escape, I will fall''. He felt heavy inside.


    Feeling Ak''s challenging re, he made his decision.


    "I ept your challenge".


    His voice seemed to send electrons into an excited state in the air, lightning seemed to crackle through the skies even as his blue eyes glowed with power.


    "But¡­" He spoke again then he looked at the Fox that was faraway with the human. "This is an honorable Vrka Yuddha, a human can''t augment you".


    "Also, to keep it fair, the Fox has to deactivate her ability too". Yukon''s eyes gleamed as he directed a challenging gaze back at Ak.


    Ak chuckled. "Hehe¡­, don''t worry, I know the rules".


    "Of course, a human can''t interfere, my master won''t interfere".


    "But as for Lucky¡­" Ak''s eyes gleamed. "A Vrka Yuddha is a battle between 2 Wolf Champions, but Lucky is not actively helping me, he simply left an imprint in me as a friend who supports my conquest".


    "ording to what I know, this is allowed in the Vrka Yuddha rules".


    He looked at Yukon. "Is that not?"


    "¡­" The Thunder Wolf remained silent.


    The tension seemed to build in the air.


    -----


    Ak has been affected by the ability: Luck Envoy!


    >Luck Envoy: Once affected, Ak will be akin to Lucky''s envoy. He will enjoy part of her authority over the power of luck, granting him luck that is a fraction of Lucky''s total luck<


    ----


    A tiny bit of Lucky''s luck was crazy, a fraction of it was godly!


    It showed.


    Whoosh!


    The Thunder Wolf moved first as this sleek Wolf charged forward with the speed of a meteorite. He didn''t make anyplicated moves yet, all he did was a simple charge, lunge, and bite aimed towards his opponent''s neck.


    As a veteran hunter, Yukon almost never made mistakes in his attack runs but this time, perhaps affected by the wind, he deviated by just a tiny margin.


    This was the incalcble power of luck!


    "Huh?!" This gigantic wolf was shocked.


    Even if his teeth connected, he would not be able to severely injure Ak.


    This deviation gave Ak all the time in the world to react, and as a Wind Wolf, speed was one thing that he had an advantage over the sleek enemy wolf.


    "Speed Demon!"


    Ak moved almost as fast as a specter, dodging the deadly lunge at the nick of time as his eyes gleamed the next moment, he attacked.


    "Wind ws!"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Bzzz!


    ? Instantly after the deadly wind ws were unleashed and as they traveled through the air rapidly, Yukon also made his move as he channeled his affinity for the first time. The skies briefly darkened and soon regained their brightness.


    From the brief darkness, lightning descended and now surrounded this wolf.


    "Lightning Speed!"


    Whoosh!


    The Thunder Wolf''s speed increased exponentially but Ak was not having it, before Yukon could put his veteran experience to deadly effect, he went for his normal go-to ability as he grinned deviously.


    "Devastating Nature Call!"


    "Ability Deviation: Triple Hurricane!"


    Unlike before, 3 hurricanes appeared at the same time!


    They did not just appear, empowered by Ak''s mana, the hurricanes grew so much powerful that Yukon finally felt a threat to his life for the first time.


    This Thunder Wolf dared not hold back.


    "Special Thunder Ability: Current Receivers!"


    Bzzz!


    Legs'' eyes widened, he finally knew the use of this wolf''s 2 horns.


    ''They''re f*cking antennas?!''


    Yukon''s blue eyes exploded with power.


    "Yukon Specialty: Thunderp!"


    BOOM!

 Chapter 339 Vrka Yuddha; Akela Vs Wolf Warlord Yukon! [2]

    "Special Thunder Ability: Current Receivers!"


    Bzzz!


    Unlike the first time when Yukon just channeled his affinity, this time, the skies literally turned dark as lightning filled the skies.


    It was like, all of a sudden, the apocalypse came back.


    The blue skin of the Thunder Wolf developed an even darker theme in this atmosphere, increasing his intimidating factor to the very peak even as more energy gathered around his being, increasing his danger factor.


    All this power gathered in an instant, and Yukon channeled it correctly.


    "Yukon Specialty: Thunderp!"


    BOOM!


    The sound was deafening and it was like exploding worlds!


    The numerous lightning in the air caused a diffusion of electrical discharge in the air. This thick concentration of electrical energy caused an expansion in the air, and through this expansion, the thunder escaped through!


    Ak''s 3 powerful hurricanes were still on their rampage when it descended, and the impact could only be described as powerful and explosive.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    On contact, it was like the world suddenly came to an end as powerful, hostile, and aggressive energy radiated into the surroundings without abandon.


    Just before the thunder hit, Ak jumped into the middle of his hurricanes. This saved him from the power of the sound st that followed, and also the gigantic power that was packed by the expansion of the air.


    The 3 hurricanes disintegrated instantly after being hit.


    They crumbled apart, leaving a cloud of dust and wind behind which slowly dissipated. The hurricane didn''tpletely disintegrate when another came.


    Thunder was never alone; it was always apanied by lightning.


    In science, thunder was the sound that follows a sh of lightning. Thunder was supposed to follow lightning but to Yukon, this rule was not absolute, it was his ability to manipte and change both elements that made him a super.


    Yukon developed by deepening his ability to bend thews of nature!


    Interchanging the times of discharge of lightning and thunder, giving thunder the opportunity to destabilize and allow lightning finish the job, this was why Yukon was a Thunder Wolf, this was why he was a legend.


    Thunder already unleashed it''s sound, the lightning was silent and dangerous. All of a sudden, it was like a crack opened in the skies.


    From the dark skies, even as Yukon''s energy kept on turning turbulent and energetic, a thick discharge of atmospheric electricity was unleashed!


    Bzzz!


    The airspace was torn apart and squeezed as the lightning passed through.


    Legs'' heart leapt into his throat as he looked at the cloud of dust that was left of Ak''s powerful hurricanes, the other spectators also held their breaths.


    Amid the tension, a snort rang out of the cloud of dust.


    "Ak Specialty: Laser Del Vento!"


    For a brief moment, it seemed like an earthquake was imminent.


    And for a brief moment, if the skies became dark from Yukon''s power, the ground became a raging volcano from Ak''s energetic and rampant power.


    "AWOOO¡­!!!"


    When the Wind Wolf opened his mouth, aggressive wind energy was gathered and concentrated before being unleashed as a gigantic thickser beam.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    The path of theser beam soaring upwards was filled with pure destructive power!


    ? Instantly, Yukon felt his danger senses tingle!


    Yukon''s horn receivers worked by stimting the electrical discharges in the air, rapidly increasing their power and umtion. In exchange for this power, Yukon became closely tied to the thunder and lightning that he discharged.


    If the lightning was tyrannically torn apart, he would suffer also.


    He would remain safe only when the lighting was able to do what it was unleashed for which was killing or at least injuring his opponent, this was the price for power. Seeing theser, Yukon already knew that his ns were futile.


    He didn''t have the time to think though before both attacks hit.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The explosion of power that followed was like exploding dominoes!


    Both attacks hit, they discharged their tyrannical powers and cancelled each other out. The power of luck favored Ak again in this moment, due to hisck of time to umte, the lightning attack was supposed to be stronger but luck took care of the rest.


    Yukon''s body exploded instantly after the lightning was negated.


    Bam!


    Blood and mutted body parts exploded everywhere.


    This Thunder Wolf didn''t die there though.


    "Yukon Specialty: Lightning Doppelganger!"


    Bzzz!


    He appeared again with even more fighting intent raging in his eyes.


    "You are a worthy opponent!" He dered and charged towards Ak.


    Ak grinned at the sight. "Our battle shall be legendary".


    "Bite Force!"


    Ak did not back down, he lunged for the attack.


    Crunch! Crunch!


    Both powerful Wolves bit into each other as they did not hesitate to unleash the incredible powers of their various affinities through each other.


    Ak convulsed as lightning and electricity pulsed through his body, damaging his nerves, and dealing constant damage to him.


    As for Yukon, this Thunder Wolf growled as tiny wind des from Ak''s teeth dug into his body, attacking at random intervals and dealing lethal damage.


    Both were injured but they did not care.


    "Wind ws!"


    "Thunder ws!"


    "Bite Force!"


    "Stun Bite!"


    "Devastating Nature Call!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Ability Deviation: Triple Hurricane!"


    "Special Thunder Ability: Thunder Receivers!"


    "Hexagon of Thunder and Lightning!"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Both Wolves did not hold back as they battered each other with attacks, having tested out each other already, they left all their misgivings and dived in for a savage pound for pound battle where blood flowed and flesh flew.


    It was in this savage melee that Lucky''s luck bestowment showed the most, despite Yukon''s incredible luck, Ak trumped him when it came to luck.


    With the luck augment, he dominated every probability-rted event. His attacks hit more, his trickery became more sessful, it was like he was favored by the Goddess of Luck even as he went on a rampage.


    Despite the incredible help from Lucky''s luck bestowment, in the end, luck alone could not win a battle, real strength was needed to win a battle.


    And in terms of real strength, Yukon was the undisputed hero.


    Even as their health and mana points kept on draining, Yukon''s advantages finally started showing as his greater endurance, hitting power, and other tiny advantages started shifting the narrative back in his direction.


    The battle was epic.


    The Narrow Hills was already being destroyed by the destructive potential of these 2 Grade C Wolves, they had no more regards for their surroundings as the battle carried them from one part of this hill to the next.


    For 3 grueling hours, the battle raged as more destruction was wrath!


    On theirst legs, both sides finally started revealing their trump cards.


    "Ak Specialty: Alpha Wolf!"


    Bzzz!


    Ak brought thousands of wolves to this invasion for a reason.


    As soon as he activated this magnum opus of his, all his subordinates started glowing in a white light as power from them flowed into his body. Instantly, he felt revitalized, his stats started recovering at a rapid pace.


    "I feel¡­ powerful!" Ak eximed with a grin.


    "What?" Yukon was shocked by what he saw his opponent do but it was the sight of this that also pushed him to execute his own trump card.


    ''I didn''t want to use it, but I have no choice''. He made his decision.


    ''I didn''t expect to be pushed to this extent''. He gritted his teeth.


    His eyes gleamed with power. "Be excited, because you will soon be one of the few that gets to witness the culmination and consolidation of my power".


    "I created my specialty from an inheritance after studying the Thunder God".


    Yukon''s bright blue eyes glowed and exploded with even more power.


    "Yukon Specialty: Current Receivers!"


    Bzzz!


    Using his specialty, he channeled even more power from his antenna horns, then the next moment he finally unleashed the disaster.


    "Yukon Specialty: The God of Thunder; Thor''s Wrath!"


    BZZZ!


    Lightning and Thunder filled the skies, Ak didn''t have the time to react.


    BOOM!


    They descended!


    Lightning, thunder, these 2 powerful energies mixed together as they descended from the skies in such quantity like it was the end of the world!


    In that brief moment before impact, Ak''s eyes widened to the limits as he felt the God of Death hover closer to him, he saw his life sh before his eyes.


    ''Am I going to die?'' Ak''s voice echoed in his head.


    He was confused but this didn''tst long, his head soon became clear.


    ''I can''t die yet!''


    ''I can''t!''


    ''I have not yet made my master proud¡­, I can''t!''


    The fear of death stimted Ak in a primal way that he had never experienced before, instantly, this Wind Wolf''s eyes turned into a rabid red.


    The fear of death pushed him to exceed a limit.


    "Ak Specialty: Emperor Wolf!"


    Bzzz!


    Raw power descended into Ak''s body and subsequently exploded out.


    This raw power did not explode out in a chaotic manner, it entered the body of the thousands of wolves present, making them more powerful than ever before.


    It didn''t stop at that, this raw power pushed some of them over the edge!


    Warg, Bone, Nymeria, and the 3 Rogue brothers temporarily broke through to be Grade C Wolves!


    BOOM¡­!!!


    Their power rushed out like an avnche!


    The power of 6 Grade C Wolves was humungous, Yukon''s magnum opus was negated!


    The wrath of the God of Thunder was stopped!


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­."


    Yukon was usually the one who intimidated others but today, for the first time in decades, this mighty Thunder Wolf felt intimidated.


    The energy of 6 Grade C Wolves intimidated him.


    ''T-That''s cheating!''


    Ak seemed to read his thoughts.


    This Wind Wolf''s voice reverberated powerfully like a decree from heaven.


    "I¡­ AM¡­ THE¡­ EMPEROR!"

 Chapter 340 A Darkhorse; A Rising Legend; A Famous Victory

    Thud!


    Yukon fell to the ground in defeat.


    Even in defeat, most Grade C Superhumans and beasts still held tight on to their pride, they would never surrender nor give up to the opponent, this was why an ancient ritual like the Vrka Yuddha was so important to the wolves.


    Despite feeling pure regret and resentment at this moment, apart from those negative feelings, Yukon also felt respect and intimidated.


    He looked up at the Wind Wolf with a heavy gaze.


    Ak put one leg on his body before looking straight at his eye.


    "Yield!" Ak''s voice was calm but filled with power and authority.


    Yukon''s eyes twitched furiously but he could not refute.


    "A Vrka Yuddha is a Vrka Yuddha". Yukon said hisst words as his own Lord, perhaps as a resignation to his reality or perhaps as a constion to himself.


    The next moment, he lowered his head. "I yield".


    Legs'' virtual interface lit up at almost the same time.

    Legs ticked his tongue. "The gamble paid".


    Looking at the army of wolves that now bowed and paid their respects to their new Emperor, Ak, Legs felt a proud feeling well up in his heart.


    ''Ak''s growth is meteoric man, Predator already paved the way''.


    ''By the way, is Predator not back yet?''


    Legs soon put this thought at the back of his mind though as Lucky turned to look at him with a satisfied smile on her face. "And that is everything that happened during my adventures outside this backwater".


    "Wow¡­, interesting!" Legs pped.


    Lucky narrowed her eyes. "You didn''t listen to thest parts?"


    "What? Who said that? Of course, I listened!"


    "You liar! And you seemed so interested earlier!"


    "Humph!" Lucky pouted and turned away.


    While Legs was in the process of cating his pet, Redmane walked towards the battlefield where the Vrka Yuddha already ended.


    After exchanging initial greetings with the Thunder Wolf and the Sound Wolf, he turned to look at Ak. "Does your ambition end here?"


    "Definitely not!"


    Ak''s eyes gleamed. "This is not enough!"


    Redmane grinned. "I guessed so, Shen, the Golden-Feathered Eagle is the next priority target to explosively increase your territory and army".


    Redmane turned to look at Yukon. "You''ve been rivals for decades even before you took over the Narrow Hills, can you tell us anything about her?"


    "Yes, I can tell you a lot about Shen, that harlot Wolf!"


    "¡­"


    ¡­


    The days rolled over so fast that it seemed like it was being fast-forwarded, and as it rolled, the excitement of the Cup Tournament increased even more.


    The more famous and exciting victories emerged, the more the appeal of the first National Dominator Cup Tournament increased as more and more yers were attracted into watching the tournament battles.


    Today, a controversial yer was about to enter the battle arena again.


    "Manchester f*cking united!"


    "Yayy!!!"


    "Horny!" "Horny!" "Horny!"


    The loyal fans of Horny the lethal Assassin were energetic once again as they cheered on their hero, Horny Assassin confidently basked on all the attention that he attracted as with his twin sabers, he walked into the battle arena.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Unlike other yers and most especially his opponent, to this guy, it didn''t seem like he was going to fight a battle that could potentially dictate his future progression in Dominator and if he could be a pro yer.


    It rather seemed like he came out just to perform for the audience.


    He raised his twin sabers and roared. "Manchester f*cking united!"


    "Horny!" "Horny!" "Horny!"


    His avid fans hailed him on.


    In the yer stands, Blue River palmed his face. "This guy¡­, won''t he ever change?" He could already feel a headacheing.


    Against all expectations after the tournament just started, Horny Assassin was not eliminated immediately on his first battle.


    Instead, he went on to achieve a dominating and famous victory.


    Due to his incredible performance and his iconic chant when he was excited, he was able to attract a lot of fans, most especially those who were also interested in football. That was how Horny Assassin became a fan favorite.


    Now, he was about to fight his 3rd battle.


    As soon as the bell for the battle to start was rang, Horny Assassin no longer paid attention to his fans. He unsheathed both of his sabers even as he honed his concentration to a level where every single sound faded out of his ears.


    Horny Assassin was entric, he was yful and stubborn but when it really mattered, he was able to be concentrated fairly easily.


    This was an asset of his that Blue River already discovered long ago.


    Instantly after the battle started, his spear-wielding opponent abruptly charged towards him. Since Horny Assassin was so focused on his fans just a moment ago, this yer hoped to catch him off-guard and deal damage to him.


    He hoped to get a critical hit but¡­, as soon as he started charging forward, he noticed an instant change in the demeanor of his opponent.


    "Huh?"


    Before this yer could react, he already closed the distance to him.


    With determination, he plunged his spear tip at his opponent''s head to deal head damage but before he could understand what happened, his opponent was gone. What he saw instead was a red liquid flying from both his sides.


    Whoosh!


    In a state of total concentration, Horny Assassin was able to dodge in the nick of time. By bending his body to such an unnatural angle where his opponent''s spear went right above him, his opponent''s neck became exposed to him.


    He was ruthless as he shed upwards with both sabers.


    This was what caused the flying blood as he drew first blood.


    "Horny!" "Horny!" "Horny!"


    His avid fans were going crazy as they cheered him on.


    His opponent frowned. ''This guy¡­''


    Despite receiving damage first, he was not disheartenedpletely, he decided to retreat and rethink his strategy but before he could, he suddenly froze.


    Squash!


    [CRITICAL HIT!]


    [BALLS DAMAGE!]


    [You have triggered effect: Leg to Balls!]


    [+150% Damage!]


    In that moment after shing at his opponent''s neck, while his opponent thought of retreating, Horny Assassin took the most practical route.


    In their current posture, his opponent''s balls were crazily exposed.


    And since this was a VR game, attack to the balls could affect the yer''s own condition. Also, this attack was only viable in Dominator since it was the only VR game to do justice to the need to fully mirror realism.


    Horny Assassin did not hesitate, he ruthlessly kicked.


    Squash!


    This yer felt like his balls just shattered!


    He lost all feelings in his legs, his hands became weak, his hands shook like he was a dementia patient, he dropped his weapon.


    "Ouuuhhh¡­!" He could only groan in pain.


    Instantly, this yer became almost decapitated from just one move.


    "Horny!" "Horny!" "Horny!"


    His fans shouted at the top of their voices at the spectacle.


    "Smash his twinkle dingle!"


    "Show him who''s boss!"


    "Grind his anaconda!" They yelled with crazy enthusiasm.


    After that decapitating move, everything became easier, his opponent stood no chance, Horny Assassinboed him to death.


    Horny Assassin won his 3rd straight individual battle.


    As soon as his opponent turned into white lights, this was when the sounds and explosive cheers of his fans finally reached his ears.


    He grinned. "Manchester f*cking united!"

 Chapter 341 The Power Of Trash-Talking!

    Horny Assassin''s crazy victory set the mood of the tournament on a high.


    "Horny!" "Horny!" "Horny!"


    Even as he left the battle arena, his fans kept on yelling his name excitedly.


    After the 4th individual battle of the day, it was break time before the next battle which would be the first team battle of the week. Despite it being break time, few yers left to go do other things, the others stayed doggedly behind.


    The voices of Horny Assassin''s fans were soon drowned by the extremely excited voices of an even more avid fan base.


    "Fish Trout!" "Fish Trout!" "Fish Trout!"


    "Desert Gust, you''re the best!"


    "All hail the Berserker God!"


    "All hail his sidekick, Saber Tongue!"


    "We''re the best team in the tournament!"


    "It''sing home!"


    They were not the only ones who cheered though, others also cheered.


    "Eh! Eh! Eh! We''re the Mountain Shakers!"


    "Eh! Eh! Eh! We''re the Mountain Shakers!"


    "We''ll level every mountain!"


    "Shatter every rock!"


    "Tear any obstacle!"


    "Rip apart any team!"


    "And we''ll feast on their remains!"


    To others, it sounded cringey but to them, this was their war song.


    These enthusiastic and loyal fans were not just chanting, they were singing at the top of their voices in support of their team just to eclipse the incredible amount of noise that was being made by the opposing team fans.


    Their voices were loud as they cheered despite the fact that it would still be a few dozen minutes before the battle wouldmence.


    The reason for this much excitement was because after a time since the tournament started, it was finally the quarterfinals and for the first time, 2 teams with a powerful history and pro yers was about to go head-to-head.


    The Mountain Breakers professional game club was among the top 5 clubs in the Chinese gamemunity, and they had a huge fan base.


    For the quarterfinals, the fans of both popr game clubs came in their full glory and fanfare to support their teams in a bid to qualify for the semifinals.


    The atmosphere was fiery.


    [Quarterfinals Team Battle Fixture:]


    [Team Fish Trout vs Team Mountain Shakers!]


    As soon as the team names were announced, the atmosphere turned even more raucous. When the yers finally came out of their tunnels to the battle arena, for a brief moment, it seemed like an earthquake was imminent.


    The cheers of the enthusiastic fans flew through the roof.


    "So energetic¡­" Saber Tonguemented in a fascinated tone.


    "That is the power of our fans". Desert Gust grinned with pride.


    "Bask in this moment, you''ll get used to it". He turned to look at his apprentice. "Don''t get overwhelmed by the pressure, that''ll be a shame to our profession as rapid-mouthed and astute-ded warriors".


    Saber Tongue grinned at his mentor''s use of words; he loved it.


    Desert Gust chuckled at his reaction even as he continued. "Bask in the cheers and learn to channel it into morebat power".


    Desert Gust''s words seemed to have been made up in the moment but Saber Tongue took his mentor''s words seriously, he meditated on them for a long time.


    "Start!"


    Instantly after the familiar A.I voice reverberated and the gong was hit, the pro yers of the Fish Trout team reacted in a well-nned manner as they arranged themselves into a previously nned battle formation.


    Both Desert Gust and Saber Tongue were Pugilists, they were the go-to damage dealers of the Fish Trout pro team.


    Apart from both, there was a healing Elementalist, and 2 Summoners. One of the Summoners was also a new recruit to the team like Saber Tongue.


    Over the months, the pro Blue Autumn team already changed a lot.


    Unlike the Fish Trout team, the Mountain Breakers like their name was a purely damage-oriented team. Their Captain, Rogue Berserker was a Pugilist including 2 others, the other 2 were heavy AOE damage-dealing Elementalists.


    Instantly after the battlemenced, a familiar voice was heard.


    "Senior, our fans are more than your fans!" Saber Tongue initiated the battle of words at the very first second.


    "¡­"


    "Their voice is so weak, even your supporters are so weak, sigh¡­"


    "How can you even fight on their behalf when they have so little enthusiasm?"


    "Fighting for them must be so draining, sigh¡­, what a poor boy".


    "I don''t envy you".


    "Sigh¡­, I pity you".


    "¡­!"


    Rogue Berserker kept to the n as he took deep breaths to calm himself.


    Despite the fact that this was not enough to rile him up yet, taking deep breaths was a ritual now to him since he was sure that when the going gets tough, this was probably his only hope of keeping himself sane.


    "Keep a cool head". He warned his yers.


    "Don''t fall for their tricks, wait for my signal".


    "We have more damage-dealing yers, we have the advantage".


    Slowly and calctedly, the yers of both sides jogged towards each other as they closed the distance. As soon as they crossed a point, Rogue Berserker finally gave the signal. "Now!"


    Whoosh!


    All yers of the Mountain Breakers team charged out.


    "Your Sister!" Desert Gust suddenly roared.


    This roar was timed so impably with the time that they decided to move that for a brief moment, the yers of the Mountain Breakers team hesitated, feeling that something big just happened.


    "Your Dad!" Desert Gust roared again.


    "Your Real Dad!" Saber Tonguepleted the wordbo.


    "¡­" They were left speechless.


    ''What the heck is he doing?''


    For a brief moment, they tried toprehend what Desert Gust meant by his words, this was their biggest regret.


    When the yers of the Mountain Breakers team finally recovered, they were no longer facing just 5 yers, they were facing an army of beasts.


    "Hehe¡­, you''ve lost". Saber Tongueughed ruthlessly.


    "You have no fans, you have no numbers, why even fight?"


    "You''re vastly outnumbered by more than 10 to 1".<novelnext></novelnext>


    Rogue Berserker gritted his teeth as he tried to instill confidence into his teammates. "Don''t listen to them¡­"


    "Your Dad!"


    Rogue Berserker finally snapped. "Do not insult my Dad!"


    He barely spoke when the sword light of a gigantic broad sword shed towards him. Shocked, this Berserker tried to dodge but he managed to dodge the broad sword only to be caught by the de edge of a sharp saber.


    "Got you loser!"


    "I told you to give up, don''t waste your energy and talents".


    Rogue Berserker was shocked. ''How did they get here so fast?!''


    He looked ahead only to see Desert Gust and Saber Tongue still jogging towards themckadaisically. ''Are those shapeshifting beasts?''


    He realized this toote, Desert Gust and Saber Tongue was already in their midst. By making the 2 shapeshifting beasts stand in as Desert Gust and Saber Tongue, they were unable to react to the 2 Pugilist''s lightning-fast move.


    Apart from their crazy sword skills, these 2 yers had another talent that made it even more paramount to never allow them invade your formation¡­, the unbeatable power of trash-talking.


    Rogue Berserker felt despair. ''What ability is this?''


    ''They didn''t show this in previous battles''.


    He felt frustrated but he could do nothing, it already started.


    "Take this!"


    "Take that!"


    "Eat that!"


    "F*ck that!"


    "Sh*t that!"


    "You thunderf*cker!"


    "You motherf*cker!"


    "Daddy''s piglet!"


    "¡­!" Rogue Berserker fumed.


    Once thisbo started, it was already toote.


    Otilo, it was gone.


    "Shameless Senior!"


    "You can''t evennd a hit, so inurate!"


    "Can''t even hold your sword straight, how is your girlfriend happy?"


    "Damn, how dare I assume that you have a girlfriend?"


    "No girl is foolish enough to ept an inurate prator like you".


    Saber Tongue''s words were more personal and piercing.


    "¡­!"


    Smoke literally starteding out of Rogue Berserker''s head.


    "You¡­!"


    In the end, the Captain became the one to break formation first. "I''ll kill you! How dare you insult my performance in bed?"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    He attacked aggressively but Saber Tongue was more thanpetent enough to protect himself, and his mouth attacks never relented once.


    "Hehe¡­, still can''t even prate urately when angry".


    "You''re a useless boyfriend!"


    This Captain finally lost it. "Die¡­!"


    Thebo of Saber Tongue and Desert Gust was a deadly one.


    With Desert Gust yelling words, with some being even incoherent just to mess with his opponents, he was able to disrupt his opponents to the extent where their Captain was no longer able to direct his teammates.


    Not just that, his crazy bbering messed with their concentration.


    While he focused on dealing with their concentration, Saber Tongue focused on dealing the real emotional damage.


    Unlike his mentor, this younger yer was much more capable of thinking up those words on the spot that could bring out the real resentments of an opponent. His words were always able to rile up his opponents.


    It was like he had a taunt hallow switched on at all times.


    His mouth was so lethal that it seemed even sharper than a de.


    Not just that, both Pugilists hovering so close to the enemies was dangerous but they were not killed immediately. First, at such close proximity, the enemy Elementalists dared not use AOE abilities least they deal coteral damage.


    This instantly reduced much of the lethality of the Elementalists.


    Despite this, the 3 enemy Pugilists were still dangerous. Despite the damage that they received, the only reason why they survived was due to their healing Elementalist who worked overtime to keep both of them alive.


    Apart from that, the horde of tamed beasts from the 2 Summoners was able to fill the battle arena, turning it even more rowdy to destabilize the opponents.


    In this rowdy atmosphere, Saber Tongue and Desert Gust thrived.


    In no time, Saber Tongue''s tongue nuked the enemy Captain.


    Once Rogue Berserker lost it, his team instantly lost cohesion. What followed next was easy to guess, Rogue Berserker was isted from his teammates and like a well-oiled machine, the Fish Trout yers started picking them off in istion.


    The first enemy yer died, there was no retaliation.


    The 2nd enemy yer died, there was no retaliation.


    The 3rd died, there was retaliation but it was weak.


    By the time that the substitute 6th yer of the Mountain Breakers could arrive on the battle arena, the 4th yer already died.


    This was when Saber Tongue also died after an impressive disy.


    Even in death, he still dealt crazy ssh damage.


    "Even in death, my tongue is far sharper than anything that you can ever disy to your girlfriends in the other room".


    "Friendly advice, breakup before you suffer heartbreak".


    Rogue Berserker was so destabilized that he could not mount aeback.


    Not just that, the opponent fans were also more avid as time went on.


    "Trash-talk!" "Trash-talk!" "Trash-talk!"


    They hailed their yers on at the top of their voices.


    In the end, like Saber Tongue taunted, Rogue Berserker simply lost motivation and gave up. Despite his powerful individual skill, he was only able tost so much alongside hisst teammate till they were both killed.


    The Fish Trout team secured a convincing victory.


    Desert Gust faced his fans and haters, he raised his right hand before showing a clenched fist. "The power of trash-talking!"


    The enemy fans grimaced; their fans erupted in ecstasy.

 Chapter 342 The Domineering Aura Of An Emperor!

    The Gorging Clouds¡­


    Compared to the Narrow Hills that was mostly rocks that were erected and stacked in a sloped heap, the territory of the mighty Golden-Feathered Eagle was the hill with the highest peak in this mountain range.


    The Gorging Clouds was called so becausepared to the other hills, it''s peak was so high that it already pierced into the clouds.


    Obscured in the clouds, visibility was low and the temperature was cold.


    This was where the Golden Eagles and their Queen thrived.


    That morning, the Gorging Clouds was as peaceful as usual.


    The skies was filled with Golden Eagles flying about, fulfilling different missions that were already set by the Queen. Unlike the other territories in this mountain range, the Golden Eagles of the Gorging Clouds were the most active.


    Shen, the Golden Demoness was an avid fan of violence.


    Since taking over the Gorging Clouds, her territory was the most feared as under her crazy tendencies, her subordinates wreaked the most havoc across the mountain range, causing countless deaths andmotion.


    The few times that she also went out, it was a bloodbath.


    She was an extreme version of Conan, the Shadow Wolf that Ak defeated and disced his rule to take over the Steep Hills.


    The only thing that restricted her crazy tendencies previously was Yukon.


    "So, he really submitted before that newbie?" She sneered in disdain.


    "Yes, Yukon already submitted all his forces to Ak, the Emperor Wolf".


    She snorted. "Emperor Wolf? What an arrogant Wolf".


    Seated on top her throne, this Golden-Feathered Eagle still had a look of disdain on her face as she processed the information from her subordinates.


    Levitating below her throne were 6 Golden Eagles who gave the report.


    Unlike a normal Golden Eagle, Shen was different. After mutating countless times, her feathers already developed a golden sheen that was far thicker and sturdier than the ordinary. As for her wings, they were made of golden steel.


    Paired with her deadly ck beak and flesh-tearing talons, she was an apex predator who stood at the very top of this mountain range.


    Her golden drooping eyes radiated pure arrogance and nonchnce.


    After shing with Yukon several times, a truth was already established. Despite her might, Yukon was the stronger predator. Despite this, Yukon could not disce her becausepared to him, her army was far stronger.


    She had more than a hundred thousand Golden Eagles in her kingdom!


    "Golden Queen¡­, will hee?" Her subordinates asked.


    "¡­" Shen kept quiet for amount a minute.


    During this time, she observed her territory. Compared to Yukon and other territories, her Gorging Clouds was special, it was a literal fortress. Due to her paranoid nature, she made sure to turn her territory into an unbreakable fortress.


    Apart from beingced with vastly better defenses than Yukon''s territory, after a certain point, her territory expanded form the hill into the clouds.


    Like at this moment, her throne was erected in the floating clouds.


    "He won''t". She finally answered confidently.


    "He dares not". She radiated an arrogant aura.


    "None of them can fly, fighting me in my territory is a lost cause".


    Her subordinates felt relieved, but maybe it was too fast.


    "Special Sound Ability: Sound Saturation!"


    Krishna took in a deep breath. "Krishna Specialty: Catalyst; Wolf Howl!"


    "AWOOO¡­!!!"


    The mighty howl of the wolf reverberated through all the Gorging Clouds!


    Originally, Krishna''s sound abilities were not powerful enough to spread through the whole territory but this time, she was not alone.


    "Redmane Specialty: Spatial Warping!"


    "Redmane Specialty: Spatial Sound Amplification!"


    Again, Redmane showed his otherworldly maniption over space energy.


    Under his maniption, Krishna''s mighty howl was amplified several times!


    At it''s base level, Krishna''s abilities were already dangerous. When amplified, the whole Gorging Clouds was startled to life as thousands of Golden Eagles fainted on the spot with a significant others losing their flight ability.


    They iled their wings disorderly as they plummeted from the skies.


    "Follow the n¡­" Redmane''s voice was calm and collected.


    BOOM!


    Ak, the Emperor Wind Wolf exploded into action.


    -----


    You have been affected by the Passive Ability: Luck Glow


    ¡­


    You have been affected by the Supreme Talent Active Ability: Advanced Luck Glow


    ----


    Now, this time, Legs was gobsmacked.


    When he thought he already saw it all. ''Ak already unlocked this!''


    ''Damn, I love my life!''


    Advanced Luck Glow was an active ability that could only be derived when a certain supreme talent was awakened.


    Legs only saw this active ability in NPC version protagonists in his previous life, seeing this in his beast pet now, he did not only feel fortunate, this also confirmed Lucky''s oundish stories.


    ''So, she did meet a Grade S Fox Afterall''.


    ''Damn, I''m so envious''.


    Legs'' inner monologue barely interrupted Redmane''s mastern.


    Legs could still hear it as Yukon revealed everything that he knew about his hated enemy, the Thunder Wolf hissed. ''Shen, that harlot Wolf!''


    ''She is arrogant, conceited, and cunning''.


    ''She''ll never ept a Vrka Yuddha upfront, even if she epts, never believe her, she is a demon who can lie effortlessly without breaking a sweat''.


    ''The only way to make her surrender is to shock her enough''.


    ''How do you mean?'' Redmane was focused. ''Exin''.


    ''She''s arrogant but I''ve made her submit before''. Yukon grinned with pride. ''The only thing that will make her submit is defeating her and her army in such an explosive manner that she never thought was possible''.


    ''The shock of such an overwhelming victory will shock and break her arrogance, once her arrogant is broken, she is broken''.


    ''In essence, what you mean is to beat her so hard that we break and remold her in a way that we like''.


    Yukon smirked. ''Yes''.


    ''Simple then, here''s my n¡­'' Redmane grinned.<novelnext></novelnext>


    As soon as Ak exploded forward with speed up the hill, Yukon followed directly behind him with speed as lightning cackled with thunder rumbling to every step that he took. Yukon became Ak''s envoy and attendant.


    With his control over lightning, Ak''s charge became more imposing.


    The charge of these 2 powerful wolves immediately aroused the defenses of the Gorging Clouds, over a hundred thousand Golden Eagles jerked to life.


    Before they could act though, others did.


    Krishna instantly turned into a Sound Disaster!


    Lucky turned into an envoy of Wind Disaster!


    Like the daughter of the Goddess of Luck, Lucky drew into her formidable luck reserves as she took advantage of her remaining 2 affinities. Wind AOE attacks sted everywhere, she also made use of her moon affinity.


    "Special Ability: Large-scale Moon Suppression!"


    "Special Ability: Dangerous Moon Bath!"


    "Special Ability: Moon Bath!"


    After suppressing the Eagles with the first 2 abilities, the Moon Bath unleashed the full power of a moon unto this territory!


    Hundreds of lethal attacks likeser beams descended from the skies, bombarding this territory, causing death and spreadingmotion everywhere.


    Legs was not idle.


    -----


    You have triggered Passive Ability: Marksman


    ----


    With this passive ability triggered, and with his Grade C senses, Legs'' aim was dangerously urate as he bore the power of his Mithril Bow before the Eagles. Like a Hunter entering a den of birds, he shot them down.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The devastation caused by these 3 Grade C Powerhouses was crazy.


    Despite the fact that most of them were not going all out, the destructive potential of their casual attacks was enough to send the Gorging Clouds into a gorging path of destruction.


    Redmane was not idle either, even as he led the army of wolves that were behind him to charge up the hill, he also attacked with AOE abilities.


    "Shadow Ability: Dimensional Distortion!"


    "Shadow Ability: Daggers of Shadows!"


    "Spatial Ability: Concussive Spatial Waves!"


    BOOM!


    Redmane''s attacks hit with power.


    The attack was lightning fast and it hit hard, the powerful Eagles of the Gorging Clouds barely had time to react. And by the time that their Queen reacted, Ak was already on a running course collision towards her.


    The feathers sprouting from Ak''s legs gave him the ability of flight!


    Seeing Yukon following behind him, Shen was infuriated.


    "You shameless traitor!"


    "How dare you pompously have the temerity to face me after discarding your pride to submit to a puny¡­!"


    "SHUT UP!"


    "¡­"


    The voice boomed like thunder; Shen was instantly shut up.


    When she looked again at the charging Wolf, this mighty Eagle shuddered. She no longer felt an ordinary aura, she now felt an aura of an Emperor as Ak''s innate talents projected his authoritative aura to this Eagle.


    With Yukon charging behind him, spreading thunder and lightning, this scene became even more impactive as the Eagle shuddered.


    "W-what is this¡­?!"


    This confirmed that she was broken, the n worked like a charm, it was just too easy¡­, Ak easily geared into the next phase of the n.


    The pounding phase.


    "Ak Specialty: Alpha Wolf!"


    As power from all his subordinates charged into his body, empowering him to a ridiculous extent, Ak''s aura increased to an even higher level.


    Basking in this pressurizing aura, Shen shuddered, her arrogant confidence was already eroding. "H-how¡­?"


    Ak answered her curiosity with his mighty ws.


    BOOM!


    The first attack knocked the Golden-Feathered Eagle silly.


    "You dare¡­!"


    The second attack eroded all her previous notions of power.


    "Ahh¡­!"


    The third attack wiped away her previous preconceptions about this wolf, imprinting an entirely new memory in her. ''A-Ak is definitely no puny wolf!''


    The fourth and final attack did it, therge injury that tore through her massive memory also seemed to tear into her mental defenses and pride.


    Broken and shattered, the mighty Golden-Feathered Eagleid incapacitated on the floor in a pool of her own blood, the atmosphere froze.


    Ak stared deep into her eyes, his aura sted out like an avnche.


    Shen''s bloody eyes no longer showed arrogance, they showed emotions that previously seemed foreign to her, a war went on in her mind.


    ''I was defeated so fast?''


    ''This guy, he is even stronger than Yukon''.


    ''So dominating, so masculine, so powerful''.


    ''F*ck, this is not the time to be fawning over his masculine charm!''


    ''Damn, I never thought I would have to submit to another beast after bing a Grade C Golden-Feathered Eagle, I hate to admit defeat''.


    ''I''d rather die¡­'' She hesitated.


    She looked again. ''This aura, this masculinism, it was no bluff Afterall¡­, this guy is really an Emperor''.


    ''If it''s to him, perhaps submitting is no longer as bad''.


    She managed to convince herself to escape the notion of death.


    "Surrender¡­!"


    Even before Ak could finish, she already answered.


    "I Surrender!" She literally screamed it out.


    "¡­"

 Chapter 343 Did Your Master Kill My Father?

    [A Grade C Golden-Feathered Eagle has been added to Ak''s Wolf Kingdom!]


    ¡­


    [Ak''s Kingdom!]


    [Kingdom Wolves: 46,761]


    [Kingdom Non-Wolf Beasts: 112,028]

    [No. of Grade C Wolves: 3]


    [No. of Grade C Non-Wolf Beasts: 1]


    [No. of Grade D Beasts: 37,816]


    ----


    After this recent expansion, Ak''s kingdom evolved.


    It was no longer purely a Wolf Kingdom, after proving his authority and leadership capability, Ak managed to win over beasts that were not wolves. For the first time, he fulfilled one of his long-time goals of branching out.


    Ak was now the Emperor of beasts, not just wolves.


    Legs'' reaction to this development was joy, the time and effort that he put into helping Ak was not in vain, the Emperor Wind Wolf fully paid back his efforts. Ak and his kingdom were now stronger than ever before.


    The reaction of the others was also positive and victorious.


    Only a certain wolf suddenly felt like an outcast.


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    Yukon stared at the Demoness Shen with a bbergasted look on his face.


    His eyes constantly blinked and flickered in confusion and disbelief. If he was a human, Yukon would have already been rubbing his eyes furiously at this point as he simply couldn''t reconcile with the reality that was presented before him.


    ''The battle started and ended in less than 2 minutes?!''


    ''The Gorging Clouds fell in less than 2 minutes?'' His disbelief was palpable.


    Putting aside the fact that so many Grade C powerhouses led this attack after Redmane created the perfect n by taking advantage of his insider information, everything still felt incredulous to this Thunder Wolf.


    Shen was a troublesome opponent that he had rivalled for the most parts of thest decade without ever reallying close to totally overthrowing her.


    Seeing this same territory subdued in 2 minutes, he suddenly felt like his work for the past decade was sh*t. That was not the most worrying reality though, the sight that disturbed him the most was that of Shen surrendering.


    ''She surrendered?''


    ''She f*cking surrendered?!''


    His brain briefly shed to a memory that was not too long ago.


    Redmane presented the final n. "With this, Shen will surrender".


    Yukon chuckled. "Despite the shock aspect of this n, I don''t really see Shen surrendering, she''ll rather die trying to fool us to escape".


    "She is an arrogant Demoness, she never surrenders".


    "She''s so self-conceited that she''d rather die than surrender".


    Yukon blinked; all these memories came hitting his brain like they were haunting him.


    ''I Surrender!'' This word kept on ying in his head on repeat.


    The next moment, this Thunder Wolf exploded. "You piece of sh*t!"


    "How dare you?!"


    "How can you?!" He was literally breaking down.


    "How can you be so shameless more than I ever rated you?"


    "I thought you were so arrogant¡­, how dare you surrender and admit defeat in less than 2 minutes? Where is your pride? Where is your arrogance?"


    "¡­"


    Ak turned to look at Yukon.


    The atmosphere instantly turned awkward.


    "Uh oh". Legs understood the situation faster than everyone else.


    This guy''s ego was bruised and it was bruised hard.


    He rushed forward before Yukon could attack their new ally. "Come on bro, no hard feelings, you know you gat to be a man?"


    Legs'' words barely registered into the Thunder Wolf''s head but the fact that someone paid attention to his words made this wolf feel much better. Legs rode on top him down the hill as he told him encouraging words from earth.


    ''Hehe¡­, what motivational speakers cannot do does not exist''.


    This episode gradually came to an end.


    On returning to the Steep Hills where Ak was ready to name as the headquarters of his growing Kingdom, Legs crossed another subject off his to-do list. After that, he focused on another major n of his.


    "The next step in my ns is gettingpatible Spirit Beasts".<novelnext></novelnext>


    "As a Spirit Summoner, Spirit Beasts is non-debatable".


    "Before doing that though, I need a new contracted beast".


    "Not just that, when I''m ready, I can easily get Bran to go to the beast ne with me but as for Predator". His eyes narrowed. "Where the f*ck is that fellow?"


    ¡­


    >Nightmare Beast Ability: Monstrous Scale Defense<


    Predator frowned as he nced through the requirements to learn the ability. "Humph¡­, soplicated".


    The eldest of the Nightmare Beasts chuckled awkwardly. "Leader, you underestimate your ability to assimte knowledge and learn".


    "As the Annihtion Nightmare Beast, you''re the most talented of us all".


    "You have what it takes to be the next Nightmare Dragon".


    "I believe that if you just focus a bit to learn it, you''ll easily grasp it".


    Predator''s frown became even more monstrous. "Tooplicated".


    "I won''t read, Predator creates his abilities and techniques himself".


    "¡­" The eldest Nightmare Beast could only chuckle.


    >Nightmare Beast Ability: Thunder Leap<


    "Leader, what of this? It''s one of the easiest abilities that I have".


    "Tooplicated".


    "Hehe¡­, no worries".


    >Nightmare Beast Ability: Dimensional Darkness<


    "I create my own abilities!"


    "Yes, leader".


    Frustrated, they no longer showed him anymore abilities.


    For the rest part of his stay in the Nightmare Beast Ind, Predator simply went on a tour around the ind as the 3 Nightmare Beast elders told him more information about the ind, their history, and their race.


    One thing that they always delved deeper on was the Illusion Emperor, the elders managed to paint her as the greatest superviin of the cosmos before him.


    At some point, Predator frowned. "Illusion Emperor¡­, Fox?"


    "Yes, she is the vilest Fox in existence".


    Predator kept quiet as this Nightmare Beast suddenly seemed to enter a deep state of thought. The next moment, he blinked as he seemed to remember something. ''Lucky''s master¡­, Fox?''


    Whereas Lucky only got to tell Legs about her adventures outside Darvis a few days ago, she already told this prime gist to Predator long ago.


    As the first beast that she got to bond with oning to life, Lucky had a deep connection and attachment to Predator. Also, Lucky was one of the few beasts that was not Predator that Predator listened to.


    Though he barely paid attention, he still remembered some details.


    "Lucky''s master¡­, Fox?" He asked again, this time in a loud voice.


    "Leader, what?" The eldest Nightmare Beast questioned.


    Predator didn''t answer him, instead, this Nightmare Beast directly tore the fabric of space open and teleported out of the ind.


    Bzzz!


    "¡­"


    All 3 Nightmare Beast elders were left stunned and speechless.


    "Sigh¡­" They could only give up in resignation.


    ¡­


    "Where the f*ck is that fellow?"


    Bzzz!


    "Woah¡­, you startled me!"


    Legs jumped up in shock on seeing Predator.


    "Buddy, where have you been?"


    Legs asked even as he already noticed that something was wrong with Predator, his suspicions were confirmed when Predator didn''t even answer him.


    The gigantic Nightmare Beast looked around before finding his target.


    The next moment, he ignored everyone else and matched towards Lucky.


    As soon as he stood before the Fox, she smiled.


    "Where have you been? You missed on so much action?"


    Surprisingly, Predator didn''t show regret at missing action like before.


    He looked straight into her eyes.


    "Did your master kill my father?"


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    Legs was bbergasted. "The f*ck!"

 Chapter 344 Search For Inspiration

    "Did your master kill my father?"


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    The atmosphere instantly turned tense.


    Yukon, Krishna, Shen, and the other Grade C powerhouses seemed to freeze in ce. Predator''s sudden appearance and question instantly changed the mood.


    They could feel the connection that Predator undoubtedly had to Legs, but still, this could not stop the atmosphere from turning tense.


    After going to the Nightmare Beast Ind, after everything that he learned, Predator''s aura seemed to change in a way, bing more ancient and archaic.


    Learning about his origin changed this Nightmare Beast in different ways.


    This new aura that he projected paired with the type of question that he just asked set nerves flying erratically.


    ''Who does that?'' This literally dominated their minds.


    Just the ''kill'' in Predator''s question implicated a lot. Literally every spectator at this moment paused as their minds went wild with different theories.


    ''Father¡­, who is this Nightmare Beast''s father?''


    ''And if he''s talking of Lucky''s master, is he referring to Legs?''


    ''If not Legs, who is this Lucky''s master that he is referring to?''


    ''If her master really killed his father, what are the implications of this?''


    ''Are they going to fight to the death?!'' They were horrified.


    Even Legs was so shocked by his beast''s change that he could not speak to intervene immediately as the Nightmare Beast and the Fox were at a face-off.


    Predator ignored everything else and looked into Lucky''s eyes.


    These 2 beasts have spent so much time with each other, even closer than with Legs that they understood each other a lot.


    Predator''s gaze may be intense and intimidating to the others, pushing them all into high alert but Lucky was used to it, Predator''s gaze was always intense.


    She literally grew up being subjected to this intense gaze daily.


    While the tension in the air increased to the others, Lucky remained rxed.


    While the others saw animosity, she saw confusion in Predator''s eyes.


    Compared to before, Lucky was now vastly more mature.


    She finally spoke. "Predator, where did you hear that?"


    "I saw it". Predator said in a slightly confused tone even as he kept on looking at her. "She helped the enemy and dealt the killing blow to my father".


    Predator looked so intensely at the Fox that it even seemed like he had some special ability to deduce the truth through her eyes.


    "My father created me and the others so we can avenge his death".


    "And that means¡­, I should fight your master?"


    "¡­"


    "The f*ck!" Legs finally recovered enough to speak.


    He rushed forward before his beast could keep on spouting nonsense. "Hey buddy, please calm down, what the hell do you think you''re saying?"


    Predator turned his head to look at Legs once then he nonchntly threw his face away before focusing on Lucky again. "Lucky, tell me".


    Surprisingly, the Gxy Fox was still calm. "Tell me everything that happened".


    Predator did not hesitate, he told her everything.


    Legs turned to face the others as he directed an awkward smile at them. "It''s ok, you can continue with what you''re doing".


    "Friendly reminder, never try to understand Predator''s train of thought". Redmane gave a free tip to the others that were meeting the Nightmare Beast for the first time least they fall too deep into the pit of overthinking.


    In the end, as the others engaged in other activities, Predator did not respect his ancestors nor even his so-called father as he told Legs and Lucky everything.


    This was one of the consequences of being contracted to a Summoner. Being contracted to Legs changed Predator in a fundamental level, he could no longer keep his aggressiveness and feral terror when before his master.


    By the time that he was done, Legs was left frowning.


    ''A Nightmare Dragon?''


    His eyes constricted as he remembered. ''If I''m not wrong, a Nightmare Dragon appeared only during the Psychic Revolution of Version 4''.


    ''Even then, it was only a Reanimated Zombie Nightmare Dragon''.


    ''And besides, the Nightmare Dragon was a viin''. Legs eyes narrowed even further as he connected the dots. ''Are both Nightmare Dragons connected?''


    He directed a subtle nce at Predator. ''I need to investigate deeper into this''.


    Though he said all those in his mind, outwardly, he was giving off a different vibe entirely. "Really? Predator, you now have 3 adult Grade C Nightmare Beasts as your subordinates?"<novelnext></novelnext>


    Legs'' intentions were not exactly straight as he tried to divert his beast''s attention, but his shock and ecstasy at Predator''s sudden surprise was not faked.


    His distraction did not work this time though, Predator was adamant.


    "I want to know the truth!" The Nightmare Beast dered as his aggressive aura suddenly went loose against his control.


    "¡­" Legs was startled.


    ? Predator looked down as he took deep breaths to calm down, he looked at Legs with a troubled look on his face. "I don''t feel at rest".


    "My heart won''t rest until I know the truth, it''s affecting me".


    At this same instant, Legs'' virtual interface lit up a notification.


    -----


    [You have triggered Grade S Mission: The Truth!]


    [Mission Details: The ns of the Nightmare Dragon were lost for centuries already until you arrived. Through your special developer package, you helped him fulfill his goal, granting Predator the talent to be an Annihtor Nightmare Beast. Now, Predator is cursed to know the truth.]


    [Mission Details: To help your beast find inner peace, find out the truth. Was the Nightmare Dragon murdered? Was he innocent or was he the viin? Find the truth to liberate Predator from the tentacles of his bloodline.]


    [Mission Reward: ???]


    [NOTE: Mission rewards will be consummate with your level onpletion.]


    ----


    "I will help you". Legs dered seriously.


    Predator turned to look at him.


    "I will help you find out the truth, just trust me Predator".


    Predator could not ascertain the true extent of Legs'' sincerity but apart from the prospects of the sudden mission which surprised him, seeing the troubled state of his beast, Legs was already resigned from the beginning to help him.


    Unless Predator achieved inner peace, he would never fulfill his potential.


    ''You bastard Dragon, messing with my son even in death''.


    ''I hope it''s all worth it and you prepared a befitting inheritance for him''.


    As soon as Legs said it and confirmed it, instantly, Predator felt like a huge burden was just taken off his shoulders. Predatorid on the floor and rest tiredly as he finally paid attention to all the changes in the Steep Hills.


    Seeing the new faces, he was also curious.


    Fortunately for him, he didn''t have to guess anything with his prime gist partner so close to him, Lucky enthusiastically fed him on all the details that he missed. Predator finally felt regret for missing so much action.


    He looked at Yukon, Krishna, and Shen like they were juicy meat that he could no longer eat. He sighed. "I missed¡­"


    The 3 Grade C Beasts shuddered.


    Restructuring Ak''s new kingdom and hierarchy didn''t take much time, with an industrious wolf like Nymeria around, everything was easier for him.


    Once again, Legs felt the convenience of having apetent woman.


    ''Damn, is this a valentine jab?'' He felt a little grievant.


    As the activities were taken over by the Alpha Female, Ak finally found time to meet up with the others. With his inclusion, Legs'' collection of beasts was almost alreadyplete except Bran.


    Legs brought up his priority concern again. "I need a new beast".


    After getting a Void Raven, an Emperor Wind Wolf, and an Annihtion Nightmare Beast already, he didn''t want to settle for anything less.


    He instead wanted to upgrade his quality and preference.


    "Beasts with higher quality and bloodline than my first 3¡­" He felt troubled. "This task is as tough as climbing the heavens".


    Legs cracked his head to no end so he sought for help.


    "Can you guys give me any suggestions?"


    "Get a Wolf". Ak''s choice was apparent from the beginning.


    "Foxes are superior". Lucky said gracefully.


    When it came to Predator''s turn, the Nightmare Beast snorted. "Hmph¡­, you''ll never find a new beast as powerful as me".


    "¡­"


    "Umm¡­, ok". Legs coughed awkwardly.


    The fact that he remained stump after all this time told him something. "Getting a 4th contracted beast is a big matter, I need inspiration from elsewhere".


    As soon as the word inspiration came, an image shed in his head.


    ''The gray balls, I still have a quota to get a new member from outside Darvis, perhaps that can be my inspiration channel''.


    ''Sharp''. He was excited.

 Chapter 345 Undercurrents

    Blue Sea Prefecture¡­


    Inside this prefecture who was one of the few to survive the rampage of the Clown Society that spanned weeks and was already being rebuilt, as normal activities went on in the prefecture, 3 cloaked individuals visited.


    2 of them were on brown cloaks that also covered their faces, while thest of them was on a ck cloak that covered his body like the others.


    Their entrance into the prefecture went unnoticed in the myriad of other activities that went on. Strangers in cloaks visiting was not an umon sight, most especially after the saga of the Clown Society.


    Clown''s crazy ideologies and order of chaos wrath a lot of damage to the, tens of thousands of civilians were left broken and traumatized after.


    Helped by their friends and loved ones, some of these broken civilians managed to find their way back to sanity, also motivated by the fact that the first President was going to be sworn in, in just a few days.


    Not every broken civilian was able to recover though, especially those that were literally thest of their line. Those that not only lost their whole family and friends, but literally lost their towns and prefectures as a whole.


    As the only survivors from their region, they were left traumatized to an almost unheble level.


    Having lost motivation to live, sights of these traumatized survivors in different-colored mourning cloaks could be seen all across the as they lived out the remainder of their lives asckadaisically as possible.


    Most of them didn''t even know about the first President, all that was on their minds was the traumas of their past, they haunted them.


    Literally everyone else who saw them pitied these broken people.


    This was why the sight of these 3 strangers entering the Blue Sea Prefecture didn''t elicit any rms. If anything, they only elicited pity, reminding the civilians of the dark reign of thest King and Clown''s crazy rampage.


    Their broken frames moved through the streets without aim.


    [Semifinals Team Battle Fixture: Team Excellent Torque vs Team Spear!]


    "Holy sh*t! It''s about to start and we''re not there yet!"


    2 yers sprinted through the street even as their stamina rapidly depleted, but they did not pay attention to it as all their attention was on the tournament.


    After a few days since the Quarterfinal showdown, the first semifinal showdown was finally about to take ce and it was between 2 entric teams.


    Team Spear was an entric team in the professional gamemunity who were famous due to their focused usage on spears. Every single pro yer on Team Spear were Pugilists, and they all wielded spears in tournaments.


    This made them one of the most one-dimensional teams in the game.


    Their offensive power was crazy and explosive, able to take down most teams before they could settle into their rhythm but theck of a healer also left them vulnerable as well-prepared teams could easily take them out.


    Thisbination of pros and cons presented an entric pro team that had earned a good reputation for many famous one-sided victories, while also earning an alternate funny reputation for suffering the most ridiculous of losses.


    As for their opponents, Team Excellent Torgue was another entric team. Their core team wasprised of 3 Pugilists, 2 Elementalists, and a Pugilist reserve 6th yer, their battle strategy was a little more refined than their opponents.


    The 2 Elementalists were mostly the main damage dealers, as they had the best Elementalist equipment of the game to enable them deal as much damage as possible. While they did the most damage, the Pugilists were the real killers.


    The strategy of this team was simple, torque was a force that produces or tends to produce rotation or torsion, this was the core of their strategy.


    With the Elementalists attacking head-on, the 2 swordsman Pugilists of the Excellent Torgue team were famous for their marauding rotation strikes from the nks. Most times, pairing this with their Elementalists, their kill rate was crazy.


    Neither of these 2 yers wanted to miss this exciting match-up. Having justpleted a high-paying NPC mission, they were slightlyte already and was the reason for their regret as they intended to watch the tournament live.


    "F*ck! It already started, this is your fault Smoking Valkyrie".


    "Stop shouting my username in public, you were the one who hyped the mission that it is so favorable, definitely not my fault!"


    As they bickered in public even as they sprinted away, drawing a lot of attention, they suddenly paused as both of them discovered something at the same time. Shock appeared on their faces.

    "¡­"


    Both yers froze, they stammered at the same time. "R-red named NPCs!"


    ¡­


    Thud!


    Footsteps rapidly moved through the nearby forest.


    "Richard, did you blow our cover?" One of the hooded men hissed.


    "I didn''t!" Richard hissed back. "I was with you both all the time".


    "Those people that your brother took special attention to are really special, I didn''t believe it before, but the ability to sniff us out of the crowd immediately despite being mere Grade E Superhumans, that''s special".


    "Do not mention my brother before me!" Quinn hissed again.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Crow did not pay attention to him, he turned to look at him. "Do you think we can try recruiting them to work on our side?"


    "Afterall, from what I''ve observed, they respect profit above all else".


    "I don''t know!" Quinn growled back.


    "My Crow have sighted them, they''re close". Crown unsheathed her light sword. "This confirms it, it is not a fluke, they did recognize us".


    The next moment, this powerful assassin leaped into the skies.


    ¡­


    "We''re going to be rich!" One of the 2 yers muttered excitedly as they followed the trail that was left by the NPCs.


    "If we can find their hideout, the new President will definitely reward us with such a handsome reward that we''ll be the best yers of the next version!"


    This yer''s excitement was palpable.


    It was hard for red named yers to escape the detection of yers, their hostile status literally turned them into a hotspot in yers'' maps.


    "Don''t shout, they must not know we''re following them". The other was calmer as he advocated for caution.


    "Shriek!"


    They barely spoke when the screech of a crow reverberated in the skies.


    On looking up, all they saw was a gigantic ck shadow descending towards them. They could not ascertain the identity of the gigantic shadow before they were engulfed in it.


    Bam!


    They were knocked unconscious instantly.


    ¡­


    Blink!


    Smoking Valkyrie woke up to see himself in an unfamiliar environment, he was tied to chains and 5 red named NPCs were in the same room as them. Despite feeling dizzy, red named NPCs was hard to miss.


    "What is your name?" The voice was harsh and grating.


    "Smoking Valkyrie". He answered immediately.


    "What?"


    "Smoking Valkyrie, that is my name, I swear I''m not lying".


    This NPC looked at the others before he continued. "How did you know our identity? Why were you following us?"


    "What is your motive?"


    "Did Legs send you or is it the President?"


    "Do you think you can defeat us in a fair fight?"


    "KILL US!" The 2nd yer, Fish Asura shouted valiantly like a brave knight but the NPC sneered in response.


    "We already know that you lots don''t die".


    "Instead of killing you, we''ll torture you till you tell us the truth".


    In their dilemma, these 2 yers were surprised as their virtual interface lit up a notification before them.


    [You have triggered Special Mission: Paradigm Breakers!]


    [Mission Details: Break the paradigm, join the train of the viins in the uing version for ess to vastly more rewards than other yers.]


    [Mission Rewards: ???]


    "¡­" Fish Asura was left speechless.


    Smoking Valkyrie reacted faster. ''If I don''t tell them the truth, we''ll be tortured, depriving us from growing alongside other yers. But if we relent, perhaps if I y my cards right, I may benefit''.


    He no longer hesitated, he answered all the questions that the game system allowed him to answer, excluding only information rted to earth and their identity as yers.


    In the end, the NPC was convinced. "If you can help us like you offered, we are willing to take you on your offer".


    "Today, we''re generous, tell us what you want as rewards".


    "¡­" Both yers were bbergasted, and it was at this same moment that their virtual interface lit up another notification.


    [You have triggered Special Mission Reward Option: Independence!]


    Smoking Valkyrie''s eyes widened. "I need weapons¡­, lots of weapons".


    "I need ss knowledge¡­"


    "I need money¡­"


    "I need power¡­"


    The atmosphere instantly turned awkward, Smoking Valkyrie read it.


    He coughed and chuckled awkwardly. "I''ll take anything you offer".


    "You''re hired".


    ¡­


    Phew!


    Smoking Valkyrie sighed as he wiped away his non-existent sweat. Filled with regret all of a sudden on remembering something, he checked.


    This yer shouted the next moment.


    "Team Spear won!"

 Chapter 346 2 Candidates; 1 Mission

    Bzzz!


    With a press of the gray apple tattoo on his wrist, Legs saw himself back in the gray world. Oning back, the first thing that he did was to summon his throne even as he sat down and took on his persona as the Hermit.


    On the throne, he ced his hand to his chin in thought.


    ''What are my criteria?''


    ''I obviously can''t take any individual that I see''.


    While he thought, Aaron already quietly arrived beside him.


    ''First, I think the individual must be aspetent as John''.


    ''Fors outside a backwater star system like the Roronoa Star System, the Grade D realm is the minimum realm requirement to travel the stars''.


    ''Any lesser super are stuck in their with the petty squabbles''.


    ''My first criteria is that my candidate must be a Grade D super, I don''t think getting a Grade C super is viable yet at my level''.


    ''Next criteria, I''ll prefer a super outside of the 3 established ones in Darvis. I already have more than enough Pugilist, Elementalist, and Summoner subordinates, I need allies from the other main sses''.


    ''These 2 are enough as a baseline''.


    ''I''ll improvise as I go''.


    As soon as Legs pulled himself out from the thoughts inside his mind, he finally noticed Aaron''s presence as a smile came over his face.


    "So, are you ready?" The old Elementalist asked.


    "Kinda". Legs'' smile widened as his pointed stare at Aaron suddenly changed, he leaned closer. "Aaron, what do you think?"


    "I want to know your opinion; what beast do you think I should get next?"


    "¡­"


    The old Elementalist seemed to have been caught off-guard by the question as he paused for a good minute, the next moment he chuckled. "If my brain is not failing me, this is the first time you''re actively asking for my opinion on a subject".


    "Nothing emotional about it, just answer me". Legsughed.


    "I think if you get ess to one, contracting a mythical beast like Frigga is good". The Elementalist'' eyes gleamed. "Frigga is still limited now but once he fully recovers his Grade B power, he''ll be unstoppable".


    "I have fought mythical monsters once, I know how horrible they are".


    Legs smiled but he also scowled. "Getting a mythical beast would be awesome but that''s the problem, getting them".


    "Frigga was a stroke of luck; I doubt I''ll be so lucky again".


    "Getting mythical beasts is rarer than winning the jackpot lottery".


    With that, Legs got prepared to do the thing but before he did it, he paused as something attracted his attention. He turned his head to the side of the gray world where the energetic battleship-grade energy reactor rested.


    Legs kept it in this makeshift junkyard since he didn''t have an immediate use for it. "I have a lot of options, either using it to power a spaceship myself or even selling it through John. Either way, I''ll benefit".


    "I don''t need to make either options yet though, I have no imminent need for it yet. I have a feeling that I''ll have a need for it in the future".


    With that, Legs no longer hesitated, he projected his consciousness through the gray world into the pulsing gray mist ball as instantly, his consciousness was sucked into the world at the other side of the ball.


    Bzzz!


    Gugugu!


    The unsettling sound spooked Legs as for a moment, it reverberated like the sound of gunshots. It was on finally calming down that he noticed the unlikely source of this sound, it was a¡­


    Gugugu!


    The chubby middle-aged drunkard grabbed another bottle of beer and without caring about his surroundings, he downed everything at a go.


    It was the sound of the beer going down his throat that made the loud guggling and shooting sounds like Legs just arrived at a chaotic battlefield.


    "¡­"


    Legs was short for words to say. ''This guy is the candidate?''


    ''Gray world if you can understand, tell me you''re lying''.


    The next moment, the chubby man stood up and staggered towards one of the stripperdies. Without a care of the world about his surroundings, his massive hand smacked against thedy''s bum.


    Wack!


    "Hehehe¡­" He grinned.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "How''d you feel about riding a Dragon tonight?"


    Shockingly, thedy was not repulsed by his actions, she turned towards him with a bright smile that could almost be believed to be genuine and stretched her hands out like she was demanding a tribute.


    "Hehe¡­" He grinned even more as he essed his trouser pockets.


    The next moment, he brought out all his remaining money and mmed it against her huge breasts. "Here, enough?"


    Her smile widened. "And what do I call you, vigorous sir?"


    "Hehe¡­, call me the Pugilist rider with unmatched endurance".


    "I''ll ride you silly tonight, hahaha!" Heughed loudly.


    "Hihihi!" She giggled innocently even as she pocketed the money.


    The next moment, with his massive hand on her ass, they both sauntered towards one of the many rooms that were inside this advanced bar.


    "¡­" A certain spectator was frozen in speechlessness.


    It was when he started hearing crazy sounds that Legs jerked to life.


    "F*ck! Take me out of here!"


    Bzzz!


    On returning to the gray world, Legs felt extremely repulsed by what he saw. As a 40 year old on back on earth, he had seen a lot of things but even with his experience, what he saw still ticked him off in an annoying way.


    ''Is this because I''ve been living in a kid''s body for so long?'' He was baffled by his reaction but this didn''t stop him from scowling.


    "Damn, my luck is bad".


    Aaron chuckled. "I didn''t expect it to go so smoothly either".


    "Try again, perhaps you''ll be lucky this time".


    Legs took his time to fight his irritation, but he didn''t give up yet, as Aaron suggested, he tried it onest time for today.


    His consciousness disappeared as soon as it touched the gray mist ball.


    Bzzz!


    As soon as Legs'' consciousness regained perception of his surroundings, the first thing that attracted his attention was the loud music sting from the speakers as rowdy supers danced to the tune in this bar.


    ''Another bar?'' Legs instantly scowled.


    He was about to conclude that today was not his day when a certain serious conversation at a corner of this bar suddenly attracted his attention.


    "Edgar, don''t give up on me yet".


    "We stand a very big chance of subduing this monster". At the end of his sentence, this blonde-haired warrior hissed to muffle the ''monster'' part.


    "The best hunters are the ones literally banding together for this hunt".


    "I can''t give you details until you join us but know this, I won''t lie to you, the best in the business are in. All we need is a powerful Psychic like you to calm the excesses of the monster since we intend to capture it alive".


    Thud!


    The ck-haired man who seemed to be Edgar dropped his beer cup, he turned to look at the blonde-haired man. "Sorry Edge".


    "It''s too dangerous".


    "Since when did you be such a coward?!" The blonde-haired man was losing it, he seemed about to unleash his wrath the next moment.


    The ck-haired man was unfazed, his eyes turned sharp the next moment as he looked at Edge. "This monster is not your regr monster".


    "You may have never met one before but I have".


    His expression turned slightly ugly as he seemed to remember something. "Edge, take this as advice from a hunter friend, do not take part in this hunt, you won''t live to enjoy the benefits".


    Edge scowled. "Are you saying I''m weak?"


    Edgar shrugged. "Take it anyway you want, all I''m saying is¡­" He turned to look away. "A Warpsnare is not something you lot can confront".


    "¡­!"


    Legs'' ears literally turned erect like antennas.


    "A Warpsnare?!"

 Chapter 347 The Dao Of Power Play

    "A Warpsnare?!"


    Legs was freaking out so much that he literally lost it.


    Almost at the same time, a memory floated to his brain from where it was previously hidden. He had never seen it live once, he mostly heard of it through stories but got his first true impression about it through a yer''s video.


    Dominator was so realistic that yer''s video capturing quality was determined by their level. For example, a Grade E yer had no business capturing a Grade C battle, he''ll mostly only see violent shes of light.


    The Warpsnare in action was captured by the Mage God, the strongest yer from the Dominatormunity among all American VR game clubs.


    Then, like Legs, the Mage God was a rare Grade A yer.


    With thousands of skilled yers in their in-game guild apanying them in the battle for support, the Mage God fearlessly led his pro yers as he engaged in a battle against one of the elite Grade A experts of the Psychic Revolution.


    That day, the full Dominator saw the true power of a high-tier Summoner.


    That day, Legs saw the already mythical might of this shape-shifting and ability-stealing monster. Apparently, a Warpsnare was an extremely rare beast even in gctic terms that starts as a gradeless slime.


    They survive by shape-shifting to blend in and protect themselves, while they thrive by stealing the abilities and powers of other monsters.


    The Summoner''s Warpsnare was a fully grown one who already stole thousands of abilities and powers, and could shape-shift into literally anything.


    BOOM!


    Legs could never forget the high-quality video as they shed.


    He remembered as the Mage God led his warriors, casting powerful spells and chantingplicated incantations as he brought out the full potential of his main ss. At that moment, his AOE abilities surpassed those of an Elementalist.


    Despite being ganged up on, the Warpsnare and his master stood their ground. At some point, this beast turned and shapeshifted into a gravity-breathing monster, annihting dozens of yers.


    At other points, he turned into monsters with horrible defensive abilities and even defensive Supreme Talents like Legs''s Physique of the Undying Cockroach.


    At even other points, this monster shapeshifted into a literal mech!


    As a metallic mech, his master got to connect to his beast to an unprecedented level where their synergy became unmatched. He didn''t even need his other beasts, with his Warpsnare alone, he annihted all the yers.


    That day, the myth of the Warpsnare became a legend to the yers.


    Apart from remembering this, Legs also remembered it''s creation. The Warpsnare was created by no single developer. As Maximus'' idea, he invited developers from all the other sses to contribute in its creation.


    The Warpsnare was the closest thing to a perfect beast.


    It could shapeshift and react to literally any scenario so long that it had the time and opportunities to steal as many abilities as possible.


    Legs'' eyes flickered as Edgar and Edge continued their conversation.


    He soon made his decision. ''Edgar is the one''.


    ''He fulfills almost all my criteria, he is a Grade D Psychic, almost perfect for my needs. Besides, even if I''m not going after him due to his abilities and powers, the Warpsnare alone is enough to convince me to go after this guy''.


    ''The only thing is how can I convince him?''


    As soon as Legs asked this question, his eyes shone in an epiphany.


    ''Hehe¡­, the Almighty Hermit of course''.


    This time, he decided to take the slow and steady route.


    15 minutester¡­


    "Edgar, I''m so disappointed in you, I thought higher of you".


    "I don''t give attention to what others think of me". Edgar remained calm.


    Edge finally stood up. "This is the end of our road, never contact me again. Help yourself, I''ll help myself. I wish you good luck in your hunts".


    "I''ll look for another Psychic who is not a coward".


    "Goodluck".


    Edge gritted his teeth and left the bar, Edgar remained behind drinking.


    During these 15 minutes, Legs already embarked on an information gathering tour through his consciousness. The fact that the gray world totally masked his existence gave him the luxury to act in an unbridled manner.<novelnext></novelnext>


    His unbridled manner helped in his information gathering efforts.


    He learned everything that he needed.


    This was called Austere. Like Darvis, it was ravaged by an apocalypse long ago. The only difference was that unlike Darvis that came out of it rtively unscathed, Austere suffered far worse.


    A permanent crack was breached through the atmosphere of this, exposing a red pathway like a bridge where intruders could easily enter the.


    90% of this was already upied by the beasts, the humans and other races here upied less than 10%. To fight for their survival, the Hunter Society was established, an organization that train elite hunters to fight the monsters.


    After learning all this, through addition and subtraction, Legs concluded that Edge and Edgar were part of the elite hunters of the Hunter Society.


    The so-called high-paying mission that Edge brought was a specific mission by a high echelon of the, it was a mission to capture the Warpsnare alive.


    In exchange, every single hunter who participated in the hunt will have their level in the Hunter Society increased twice with mary rewards and a whole lot of other minor rewards following it.


    Edgar was tempted, but he was clearly too traumatized to take the mission.


    ''This guy has encountered a Warpsnare before''. Legs'' eyes narrowed.


    ''No worries though, all he needs to push him on is the motivation from an Almighty existence like the Hermit''. He smirked.


    He waited a few more minutes until Edgar returned back to his room.


    After observing Edgar for minutes, Legs already knew that this guy was nothing like John. This veteran hunter would never fall for his word tricks, he was a practical warrior who only respected power.


    This was why Legs didn''t even deem it prudent to introduce himself.


    This time, he took the forceful route.


    Through the powers of the gray world, Legs invaded this Psychic''s privacy and directly yanked his body away out of his bed and out of his.


    Bzzz!


    Instantly, Edgar disappeared out of Austere.


    "¡­!"


    When he came to be, this Psychic was rmed at what just happened but he didn''t raise any rm on suddenly discovering himself stuck in a gray world.


    Edgar was quick as he took a defensive stance even as he brought out an Enchanted dagger whose de edge gleamed in the gloomy world.


    He didn''t need to observe long, he soon saw the sole existence that was here.


    "¡­!" This Psychic was rmed, it took all his nerves and his psychiatric-rted abilities to keep himself from freaking out and screaming in shock.


    ''This guy has great self-control''. Legs was impressed, he epted the challenge as he was pushed to embody the full persona of the Hermit.


    Seated on his magnificent throne, the Hermit did not say a single word. Engulfed in the shadows, he radiated pure mystery as he looked down at the human who he just summoned into the gray world.


    This time, Legs didn''t go for anything pretentious. He could already tell that Edgar was smart; this Psychic probably already felt the aura of a Grade A beast or warrior once and was why he didn''t make use of Aaron''s aura.


    By simply letting the powers of the gray mist mask everything, revealing nothing about himself, he projected an aura of mystery and unfathomability.


    He left his candidate guessing, this in his opinion was the appropriate strategy for a smart and likely overthinking warrior like Edgar.


    Knowing nothing about this mysterious existence spooked Edgar to no end, his nerves were taut, his blood was flowing fast, the atmosphere inside him was extremely tense as he felt like he was before the butcher''s knife.


    The silence was grating at his very being.


    He could no longer keep the silence, he felt that he would die of suffocation if he continued. He spoke first.


    "W-who¡­" He regretted it instantly as he stammered.


    Stammering already revealed his fear, Legs won the first game.


    "W-who are you?" He gritted his teeth and asked.


    "¡­" The mighty existence directed a nonchnt nce at him.

 Chapter 348 The Hunt [1]

    "W-Who are you?"


    "¡­" The mighty existence directed a nonchnt nce at him.


    Legs necessarily didn''t toy with him but his nonchnce and his silence left this smart warrior feel that he was being toyed with. As his frozen brain slowly regained vitality and started processing thoughts, something happened.


    "¡­!" Edgar''s eyes widened.


    The Enchanted dagger that he held in his hand was erased from existence.


    Mobilizing the powers of the gray world, to drive home a point that he stood no chance in the gray world, Legs erased the dagger away from existence.


    He didn''t exactly erase it from existence, through the obscuring powers of the gray world, he simply took it from it''s owner and kept it in his junkyard.


    This may seem like nothing but to a smart warrior like Edgar, this meant everything.


    "¡­!" Edgar could no longer keep hisposure; he shook in horror!


    ''D-did he just erase my dagger out of existence?''


    ''I didn''t even feel any fluctuation of power!''


    ''Achieving something like this without me feeling anything, who is this guy?''


    ''What did I fall into?''


    ''This is not funny, did Edge n this?!''


    "No".


    The mysterious existence finally spoke for the first time and to Edgar, this was the worst time possible for him to have spoken.


    ''No! He said no?!''


    ''Oh my God!'' This hunter was losing his sanity.


    ''He can read thoughts? Can he read my mind?!''


    As a Grade C Psychic who had indebt knowledge about the mind, this hunter knew exactly the difficulty that was required to read the thoughts of a normal human, but now this was the thoughts of a Psychic of his caliber.


    This was beyond anything that Edgar ever suspected, his mind was blown away.


    ''Ahh¡­!'' His mind was a bomb as he suddenly came to a frightening realization.


    ''Master Hunter Huron''s book about the god-like existences!''


    ''The mythical powerhouses who already exceeded the realm of mortals!''


    ''The mythical Beyond Grade A''s!''


    ''ording to the book, Beyond Grade A''s have exceeded the limits of mortals so much that they develop their own domain which is a manifestation of their power. In their domain, they control the rules andws of reality''.


    ''In their domains, they are literal gods''.


    This hunter''s eyes widened to the limits likenterns.


    ''This guy¡­, is he a Beyond Grade A?!''


    ''Is he a God?!!!''


    "Edgar". The mighty existence''s voice reverberated again.


    ''He knows my name?!''


    ''F*ck fool!'' Edgar felt like bonking his head against a pole. ''An existence of his level knows everything about me already, I''m so foolish!''


    The thoughts flowing through this hunter''s mind told Legs that his job was already more or less down, he secretly smirked to celebrate his victory.


    Legs acted like he didn''t pay attention to the stupid thoughts of a mortal like him. Using Edgar''s train of thought as his temte, he already formted how to lead the conversation to get to his ultimate goal.


    "One of my favorite talented servants has discovered something in your that caught his interest, this is why you caught my interest".


    ''I said it! I''m definitely not talented enough to attract a god like him!'' Edgar listened attentively like he was back to Psychic bootcamp training.


    "My servant is interested in the Warpsnare".


    "Join the mission and pave the way for my servant to also be a part of it. Help him secure the Warpsnare, and you will gain the rare opportunity to be a member of my gctic gray world gathering".


    Edgar''s thought processes flowed fast as his brain entered overdrive.


    Unlike John who came from a developed like Konot IV, Austere where Edgar lived was much more backward. After being ravaged by the apocalypse, the gctic progress of this was still rudimentary.


    Only the strongest of their had the opportunity to ride through their limited spaceships outside the to see the outside world of space.


    A Grade D Psychic like Edgar never came close to getting the opportunity of leaving his. Despite his knowledge and despite how smart he was, Edgar''s fascination for the term ''gctic'' override his natural wariness and suspicion.


    To him, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity not only to develop a connection to a god, but also to the gctic universe outside Austere.<novelnext></novelnext>


    This Psychic was hyped beyond measure.


    Another reason why he didn''t let his natural suspicion prevail today was the fact that he also recognized that refusing probably meant death.


    Instead of dying, he would rather jump into this crazy boat.


    "What is your answer?" The mighty existence''s voice boomed.


    "Your servant epts your offer".


    Thud!


    Edgar dropped to his knees and bowed respectfully.


    The mighty existence didn''t exhibit any obvious reaction to this but the next moment, the gray mist in this world shifted as another existence appeared.


    ''A human?'' Edgar detected it immediately as Legs slightly loosened the restrictions of the gray world, letting his senses see.


    The sight of the white-haired human made Edgar heave a deep sigh of relief. ''At least I''m not dealing with an enemy god monster''.


    Legs turned to face the mighty existence and bowed respectfully. "Thank you Almighty Hermit for this opportunity, I''ll forever cherish it".


    With that, Legs turned to face Edgar. "Are you ready?"


    "Yes¡­" Edgar slightly hesitated as he turned to face the hazy figure of the mighty existence. "Please Great One, what do I call you?"


    "Call me¡­, the Hermit".


    Bzzz!


    Both humans disappeared through the gray mist ball.


    The ability to go to the different locations of the members of his gathering through their gray mist balls was another capability that Legs unlocked in the gray world after bing a Grade C Summoner.


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    Legs and Edgar arrived behind the bar, at a dark alley where no one saw them. As soon as he returned, the still shocked Psychic checked himself up.


    "Holy Sh*t!"


    "I was not hallucinating; it was all real!"


    After checking himself thoroughly to confirm that nothing was amiss, Edgar finally turned to look at the neer. "And you are?"


    "Legs, nice to meet you Edgar". He extended his hand for a handshake.


    Edgar took the handshake. "Nice to meet you too Legs".


    "So, you really want the Warpsnare?" He hesitated. "I must warn you¡­"


    "Do not worry". Legs interrupted him. "I know exactly how dangerous a Warpsnare is, I only have the confidence to go after it because of my connection to his Almighty the Hermit".


    On hearing that term, Edgar''s fears faded a bit.


    ''Yes, I almost forgot, we have a god on our side''.


    That pretty much simplified everything for Edgar. To join the Hermit''s gctic gathering, he was ready to do everything so long he didn''t have to give up his life in exchange for it.


    He became troubled the next moment though. "I already rejected Edge".


    "You can still meet him again". Legs smiled. "You''re the best in the business, that''s why he came for you in the first ce".


    "Don''t worry about me, just introduce me, I''ll do the rest".


    Legs was already doing a good job at portraying himself as a warrior who was capable of taking care of himself, Edgar heaved a sigh of relief. Thest thing he wanted was to babysit a warrior in such a potentially dangerous hunt.


    Before leading the way, he asked onest question. "Can you tell me more about Him? You know, Him, and the gathering".


    Legs smiled. "I''m not supposed to tell you until you be a member".


    "But considering you''ll soon be one, I suppose I can tell you somethings".


    Of course, Legs wanted to tell him things. What better way to elevate the status, authority, and power of the Hermit than to hype him up personally.


    As he slowly told Edgar about the gigantic power that the Hermit possessed, including details about Darvis, Edgar waspletely amazed.


    ''So this is what it feels like outside Austere''.


    To Legs, only one sentence rang in his head.


    ''The hunt is on''.

 Chapter 349 The Hunt [2]

    Like every branch including the headquarters, the nearest branch of the Hunter Society was built like a pagoda.


    There was a lot of activity going on inside the pagoda as different types of elite hunters walked about. Some went to the counter to confirm missions, others went to the billboards to check out the newest missions.


    And of course, there were those who were just returning after fulfilling a mission. These elite hunters came to submit their kill evidence to take their rewards. Not just that, but to also refill on elixirs and other essentials.


    While all these activity went on inside the 5-floored pagoda, on the highest floor, a small group of elite hunters were gathered.


    "Edgar, that f*cker! He actually didn''t agree!" A hunter hissed.


    "He thinks he is indispensable just because he has superior psychiatric abilities".


    "It doesn''t matter if he is not avable, there are other Psychics".


    "There are none as impressive as him at what he does".


    "It doesn''t matter".


    "It does matter!" One of the hunters raised his voice. "This is a Warpsnare we''re talking about, we definitely can''t let our guard down".


    "We need every advantage we can get to increase our chances of victory".


    At a corner of this room inside the 5th floor of the Pagoda, Edge sat as he silently sipped his beer. He listened to everything that the other hunters were saying without uttering a single word of refutal or agreement.


    Apart from him, there were 8 other elite hunters in this room.


    3 of them were Pugilists, all one-handed swordsman. Their identical gray hair spected that they were probably brothers.


    Apart from the Pugilists, there were 2 Elementalists, 2 Mages, and a Battlefield Mechanic. The only main sses missing were the essential Psychic and Summoner sses, but they already had a n for the former.


    In Austere, Summoners were the lowest of the bunch. Due to the superiority of the beasts in this after the apocalypse, capturing a beast alive to subdue it became an extremely difficult task.


    The aggressive and extremely proud beasts would never submit to a human.


    Also, the high-tier beasts due to scenarios like this gave their subordinates the ability tomit suicide effortlessly. The humans were yet to find a countermeasure against this, and this limited the number of Summoners.


    Click!


    On hearing the sound, every eye in this room turned to focus on the door.


    There, a red-haired warrior with a wooden rod strapped to his back walked into the room. This was the alternative Psychic, Battle Psychic Cucure.


    After nodding at the elite hunters in the room, he sat before Edge.


    "I am here".


    "Wee". Edge shook the Psychic''s hand with a smile, then he projected an image on the screen. "This is our target".


    On the screen appeared a beast that looked like a frog. This was no ordinary frog though, this frog could not only stand upright like a human, but on his hands was a long spear that seemed to be its unique weapon.


    Edge exined. "This is our target".


    "Originally, a hunter group working for our employer hunted down a group of Mutated Spring Frogs, that was when they found the unique Frog".


    "They didn''t know it''s identity until they almost wiped out the family of Mutated Spring Frogs, this was when he was pushed to intervene".


    "Singlehandedly, the Frog killed all the hunters after developing a spear from nowhere. This image was shot and transmitted to our employer by one of the hunters who died that day, paving way for our mission".


    "By now, our employer already confirms that it is a Warpsnare".


    "He would have gone to capture it singlehandedly but to prevent suspicion, he can''t make any sudden moves due to his high level and authority in the Hunter Society circle. This is why we were contracted for this mission".


    "All we need is corner, subdue the beast and deliver it to him".


    "Once we get our reward, we share it into 9 equal ces for everyone".


    "Free money acquired". Edge smiled.


    "So, are you in?"


    "Yes, I''m in". The red-haired Psychic didn''t hesitate to answer.


    Just before Edge could p and finalize the agreement though¡­


    Click!<novelnext></novelnext>


    The door to the room opened again.


    This time, they were surprised, nobody was supposed to enter again. When all the hunters in this room looked though, they all froze in surprise.


    The familiar ck hair, that smart look, those sharp and confident eyes, this could not be mistaken. ''Edgar!'' They were all surprised.


    With a confident smile on his face, Edgar didn''t even seem to pay attention to the other Psychic that was already in this room as he walked towards Edge, he sat opposite this oldrade of his as he looked into his eyes.


    Edgar smiled. "I''m in".


    "Huh?" Edge was surprised.


    "I changed my mind; I''m joining the mission".


    "¡­" Well, now, Edge''s brain felt like it briefly short-circuited.


    Instantly, the atmosphere in this room turned awkward.


    The red-haired Psychic could already read Edge''s mind through the subtle changes in his expression, his face turned poker.


    "I see you''ve changed your mind". He said. "I''ll be taking my leave then".


    As soon as this hunter stood up, he paused as he couldn''t take a single step outside, 7 other warriors already surrounded him.


    Edge coughed. "Ahem¡­, you already know too much about our mission".


    "I''m sorry but we''ll have to leave you here till we leave".


    "I hope you can understand".


    "¡­" This Psychic took deep breaths to prevent himself from exploding in rage, he calmly looked at Edge.


    By now, he could already tell that he stood no chance of escaping.


    With this guy taken care of, all eyes finally turned back towards Edgar.


    Edge spoke first. "What happened? Why did you change your mind?"


    "It''s confidential but before we continue, I have a condition". Edgar raised his mind. "My only condition to go is if Sexy Chocte here also follow me".


    ''Sexy Chocte?'' Their eyes finally turned towards the unassuming human that followed Edgar in.


    Through the powers of the gray world, Legs was able to seamlessly mask his Grade C aura, posing as a Grade D Superhuman just like them.


    Legs smiled and waved. "Nice to meet you all".


    "I am a Summoner".


    "Yes, he is a Summoner". Edgar confirmed like the others wouldn''t believe without it.


    "¡­" This utterance caused total silence in this room.


    Edge''s blood turned slightly heated as he turned to look at him. "How many Summoner knowledge do you have? How many beasts do you have?"


    Legs smiled. "I have all 8 Basic Summoner Knowledges".


    "I have 4 Intermediate Summoner Knowledge, and 1 Advanced Knowledge".


    "I have 3 contracted beasts".


    "¡­" Shock appeared in the faces of all the hunters.


    ''So many ss knowledges! How did he get them?!''


    ''He has 3 freaking contracted beasts? How?!''


    Edge was so shocked that he dared not even dy his speech, he put on his most sincere smile. "You''re hired".


    Even Edgar was shocked. ''That was smoother than I expected''.


    With that, the squad for this special hunt wasplete as they made theirst few preparations for the hunt. Exactly an hourter, they made their way out of the protected city and out into the wild where the beasts roam.


    Legs was exposed to the wild of Austere for the first time.

    ----


    Edgar borrowed Legs some hunter society points to purchase these elixirs.


    On being exposed to these elixirs for the first time, Legs was amazed. During their journey to the branch of the Hunter Society, Edgar already told him about them but seeing them in reality hit much more different.


    Legs still felt that it was surreal.


    ''Damn, so I''m really now roaming on a totally different!''


    It felt unbelievable. ''The gray world is crazy!''


    To the hunters of Austere, elixirs were their pills and potions. With their help, hunters became much more effective and efficient in battle against the beasts since most of them were made to help in beast battles.


    The focused research of the elixir concocters on maximizing hunter''s beast battle potential opened Legs'' eyes to a lot of things.


    ''This is invaluable information!'' He was hyped.


    ''If I can incorporate some of these theories in making my pills and potions, I believe I can improve my capabilities. I need to take some samples home''. He made up his mind even as he also focused on the mission.


    Legs was the one who set up everything in motion including convincing Edgar to go back, but yet, he still felt amazed at how much changed.


    From the chaotic Darvis, he just plunged himself deep inside the confines of a much more chaotic that was ravaged by an apocalypse.


    For this mission, Edge was the default leader.


    As the original hunter that was contracted for this mission, he had a lot of leverage since he was the one who invited all the others. Also, among the 2 Mages in this team of elite hunters, he was the best in the business.


    Travelling through the wild in Austere was even more dangerous than Legs expected. Every few minutes, they encountered powerful monsters.


    The only reason why they were not surrounded by beasts yet was because every single one of these elite hunters already developed skills and patterns over the years that allowed them to fool and evade the beasts.


    The journey to find the Warpsnare was not a sprint, it was a marathon.


    For 2 days, Legs familiarized with his teammates¡­


    And by now, he already knew them all. The 3 Pugilist brothers, Gon, Gan, and Gog were by far the most hot-blooded. They were like any other Pugilist that Legs knew, driven and straightforward, they were powerful.


    And when together, their battle synergy was crazy. Their incredible synergy was one of the main reasons why Edge went for them when looking for reinforcement, they were worth the effort.


    Apart from the Pugilists, surprisingly, the 2 Elementalists were a couple. Apparently, Edge had a certain fetish for going for hunters with certain close connections to each other.


    One was a fiery Fire Elementalist, and the other, the wife was a calm cool-headed Water Elementalist, they perfectlyplimented each other.


    Over the years, this couple already forged a terrible reputation for themselves in the hunter circle due to their efficiency in killing beasts.


    All these were sses that Legs was familiar with, it was the remaining 2 that left Legs really curious. Since reincarnating into Dominator, apart from John, this was his first time seeing Mechanics and Mages.


    Apart from Edge, the Mage was ady. Esther was a grounded hunter with solid foundations and a fair share of destructive spells, her most ring trait was her personality though, she had no enthusiasm for battle.


    "All men shall die one day".


    "Who knows if today will be our turn?"


    "Sexy Chocte, enjoy your life while itsts, you never know what hand you''re going to get dealt next, you never know if this is yourst breath".


    "By the way, are you still a virgin?"


    "¡­?!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "You look like one. Friendly advice, don''t die a virgin, I''m avable if you ever find any epiphany from my words and feel the need to right your wrongs".


    "¡­!" Legs was leftpletely speechless.


    Well, she was an entric one.


    Unlike Edge who was a Mage who mostly focused on learning the mysteries of Light Energy, Esther''s focus was on mastering the mysteries of ice and wood.


    Thest of the bunch, the one who attracted Legs'' attention the most was the Battlefield Mechanic.


    Seeing this guy gave Legs a nostalgic recollection of the legendary mechanic ss, this hunter fully embodied the glory of this main ss. Unlike John the shameless, this guy was a real mechanic super.


    Rion had hard facial features with a cut scar running across his face, this man was a calm and calcting middle-aged man.


    He was quiet most of the time but Legs could feel the aura of a slumbering Dragon from him, this was a hunter with a host of battle experience.


    He already honed his battle senses and instincts to an incredible state.


    Legs could easily tell that Rion was the strongest hunter in this team.


    Despite 2 days already, Rion was never forced to use more than his twin daggers against the beasts that attacked them, he was under no pressure.


    While he observed his teammates, they also observed him. Till date, Legs only called on Ak to help him in battle. Of course, through the powers of the gray world, Ak''s Grade C aura was suppressed but he still showed ss.


    The battle experience andpetency of a Grade C Wolf was vastly higher than that of a Grade D Wolf, Ak was a stand-out performer.


    Like this, battle after battle, they progressed.


    It was on the afternoon of the 3rd day that Edgar gave them a warning. "I detect a psychic imprint greater than all the others in this environment".


    "That mind, it''s bigger and tougher than that of all the other beasts".


    "It''s so out of ce in this environment".


    Through his psychic telepathy, Edgar was able to read the psychic patterns of this beast. From his first sentence, every single one of them already hid as Rion finally did more, this Battlefield Mechanic deployed a machine for the first time.


    Hum!


    With a slight humming sound, a tiny mechanic beetle floated up.


    It''s tiny mechanical eyes rapidly scanned thendscape before projecting an image to its owner, Rion''s face turned serious. "A gigantic Frog with a battle spear".


    He turned to look at the others. "It''s the one".


    "That''s it warriors". Edge took over from there. "We''ve found our target, now we stalk it, discover it''s patterns and habits than formte a n to capture it in the evening. For this stalking and observation, I need every single one of you to put in your all".


    "This is a Warpsnare we are going up against".


    In no time, the stalking started.


    Of the 9 hunters in this team, all of them were renowned in the hunter circle with notorious reputations, they were the best in the business. Legs soon proved that he would not fall behind though as they stalked the gigantic Frog.

    In the end, his tracking performance became the stand-out one.


    After more than 6 hours of tracking the beast, knowing it''s preferences, likes and dislikes while luring it into battle to know it''s battle style and overallbat strength, this elite team of hunters finally arrived at the perfect n.


    By this time, it was already night and everywhere was dark.


    Edge turned to face his teammates with a serious look on his face. "We''re elites, I won''t tell you what to do".


    "But¡­, the overall strategy is to ambush and incapacitate it fast".


    "Not to kill, but to immobilize it".


    "We hit fast and hard".


    His eyes gleamed. "Let''s move out".

 Chapter 351 Frog Ambush!

    Rain drizzled.


    Rustle! Rustle!


    The wind was gentle as it slowly caressed the leaves of the tall trees, causing them to bend and dance to the tune like happy kids dancing in the rain.


    Pitty pattering sounds reverberated as the rain hit the already wet forest floor, turning it wetter and more sticky. On the forest floor around the trees were depressions of varying sizes where water gathered as the rain drizzled.


    This gathering of water already formed thick and sticky mud.


    This was a swamp forest.


    Ssh!


    With a loud sshing sound, a gigantic entity descended on the mud.


    Another sshing sound reverberated as the massive Frog jumped happily like any other frog when it was raining, sshing mud everywhere.


    It''s narrow eyes like those of a snake squinted even further as it sshed mud happily, clearly, it was having a good time.


    For minutes, this Frog kept ying in the rain,pletely unaware of the danger that crept closer by the minute from the thick veil of darkness of the night.


    By the time the Frog detected it, it was already toote.


    Whoosh!


    "Combination Sword Technique: Triple Threat Net!"


    The 3 Pugilist brothers erupted out of their hiding while yelling their moves at exactly the same time. As soon as they drew their swords, their Pugilist Energy materialized as powerful green sword energy that illuminated the area.


    These green sword energies materialized so fast that the Frog could barely react. In the air, they intertwined like when a bag was being weaved together.


    As soon as they finished intertwining, they formed a huge.


    A formed out of sword energy!


    "¡­!"


    The Frog was rmed, he detected the danger.


    "Croak!"


    Reacting fast, the Frog attempted to dodge by jumping to the side as ast ditch effort but unfortunately for it, the 3 Pugilist brothers were not alone.


    This was when Esther took action.


    With her ice and wood affinity, this was the perfect environment for this powerful Mage to show her craft. With one hand, Esther held her magic staff while with her left free hand, this Mage effortlessly weaved magic signs.


    She chanted instantaneous incantations to finish her preparations.


    "Ice Magic Ability: Frozen Rain!"


    "Sage Magic Ability: Magic Petroleum!"


    Bzzz!


    Instantly, the rain and the mud on the ground came under her control.


    The rain started gaining a white misty edge to them as they fell, then the next moment, as soon as they touched the Frog''s skin, they turned to solid ice.


    The rapid freezing significantly slowed down the Frog''s jump.


    That was not all, with the Frog slowed down, Esther did her mischief with the mud. Unlike Elementalists who simply developed an affinity and familiarize themselves with an element to develop as a super, Mages went much further.


    After choosing an affinity, instead of simply bonding with that specific element, they rather study the mysteries of the element to fullyprehend it.


    Breaking down the codes and mysteries of an element was their path to growth.


    Through this grueling task of learning, they increase their familiarity to the extent where they can understand an element far better than any Elementalist. This also allows them to do much more with every single element.


    Esther''s magic signs and incantations seemed to have stimted the mud, the mud suddenly seemed to havee alive!


    In that instant, the mud experienced a fundamental and chemical change that turned it into lethal petroleum that could explode at any moment.


    This was also when one of the Elementalists made his move.


    "DETONATE!"


    Instantly, this Elementalist''s fire affinity affected the lethal petroleum, turning it vtile and more energetic as the next moment an explosion of massive proportions urred.


    Boom¡­!!!


    Just before the petroleum detonated, Esther drank an elixir that made her merge into the earth, barely dodging the immediate range of the explosion.


    The Frog was caught in the middle of this deadly explosion.


    "Croak¡­!" It croaked loudly in pain as its skin was scorched and torn open even as blood flowed like a river, but this was still not all.


    "Psychic Ability: Mental Destabilization!"


    "Psychic Ability: Depression!"


    "Psychic Ability: Psychic st!"


    Boom!


    This time, the collision waspletely mental as the Frog jerked while still being burned before blood started flowing out of its orifices.


    This was still not all.


    "Edge Specialty: Decapitating Sword of Light!"


    "Arghhh¡­!" This Mage roared as he levitated into the skies.


    In the skies, he rapidly weaved a magic hand sign as a gigantic sword made purely out of light energy appeared beside him. Once this sword of light appeared, the night seemed to escape, Edge finally released it.


    Wooo¡­!


    The Sword of light moved through the air with thunderous speed!


    Everything that happened till now was in an interval of just a few seconds.


    All the previous attacks dealt this Frog a great deal of damage. Faced against some of the most elite Grade D hunters, the Frog was forced to y along with their game, and it was dominated, frustrated, and left with little chance to retaliate.


    Despite suffering though, the Frog was still alive.


    Not this time though, when the Frog felt the Sword of Light charging towards its body, its eyes widened as for the first time, it felt a threat to its life.


    Its brain geared into overdrive, thoughts flowed fast in its head but the speed of thought could neverpete with an already defined strategy and n.


    Before it could prepare a way out, another hunter already made his move.


    Legs was already fused with Ak.


    -----<novelnext></novelnext>


    You have activated Ak Specialty: Devastating Nature Call!


    ----


    The Frog stood no chance, the mighty hurricane picked it up like a doll!


    Picked up, it could no longer dodge, even as the hurricane itself dealt damage to it, the Pugilist brothers'' sword energy also got to it.


    While trying to hold the Frog in ce, this extremely sharp made out of sword energy cut injuries all over the Frog''s body.


    This was just a prelude for the ultimateing attack.


    Edge''s Sword of Light finally hit.


    Crack!


    BOOM!


    The explosion of light was blinding.


    A cracking sound reverberated as the Frog coughed blood, the next moment it was mmed to the ground as this Frog''s gigantic body bled a river.


    The bright sound briefly blocked all sight, they could not see the current state of the Frog but without a doubt, thatbo did the Frog bad.


    "Is it incapacitated?"


    Well, Esther seemed to have asked for trouble because it came.


    "Swamp Ability: Swamp Control!"


    The next moment, the swamp everywhere seemed toe to life.


    The swamp rose up like a monster, forming a gigantic barrier that temporarily pushed the hunters away, giving the Frog a moment to breath. At this moment, its eyes were already red and desperate.


    As soon as it had a moment to breath, it went berserk.


    "Swamp Ability: Earthquake Stomp!"


    The Frog leaped up high into the skies and on itsnding, it was like an earthquake just happened as ripples and vibrations spread through the forest ground. Dozens of trees fell as all the hunters on the ground received damage.


    This briefly destabilized the hunters, the angry Frog counterattacked.


    "SPEAR TOSS!" It roared with it''s guttural croaking loud voice.


    This Spear was literally thrown at point-nk range towards one of the 3 Pugilist brothers. Instantly, the Pugilist felt a great threat to his life.


    Bam!


    His brothers helped him but the Spear still mmed against his chest as he coughed a mountain of blood, this Pugilist flew back like a meteorite.


    "Martial Ability: Double-Speared Frog!"


    As soon as this ability was activated, this Frog showed its ability as a Warpsnare as it literally materialized 2 new Enchanted Spears out of nowhere.


    The Frog''s eyes gleamed; its counterattack was just starting!


    BAM!


    Before the Frog could gain momentum though, it was sniped!


    Perched on top a nearby tree, Rion resonated with his hand-crafted Sniper Rifle again as the muzzle of the Rifle glowed with energy.


    rmed and angered, the Frog tried to react.


    "Edgar Specialty: Calm as a Still Lake". Edgar whispered.


    The next moment, all the Frog''s rm and anger disappeared. The sudden loss of these 2 vital emotions made it vulnerable, its actions slowed and this time not only Rion, but Edge also took advantage of this opening.


    "Mechanic Ability: Overpowered Shot!"


    "Mechanic Ability: Resonance Shot!"


    "Edge Specialty: Decapitating Sword of Light!"


    Thebination of all these elite hunters overwhelmed the Frog.


    This time, the Frog was hit again fair and square.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    It''s already torn defenses werepletely shattered!


    -----


    Your hunter team has killed a Grade D Mutated Swamp Frog!


    Congrattions! You have participated in a trans-gctic killing of a Mutated Swamp Frog!


    You have gained 1,000,000 Experience Points!


    ----


    Legs'' eyes widened to the limits. "It''s dead?!"


    The other hunters also looked at the Frog thatid in a pool of its own blood in shock, Edgar was especially impacted the most. "So easily?"


    "Is this really a Warpsnare?!"


    "¡­!" The other hunters also had rming expressions on their faces.


    Despite the fact that they executed the ambush so impably, they still couldn''t believe that they just killed an infamous Warpsnare so easily.


    Edge frowned.


    Crack!


    While they looked, the corpse of the Frog suddenly cracked.


    Crack! Crack!


    An unnerving silence instantly descended.


    With spooked expressions on their faces, they watched as the Frog''s corpsepletely cracked open then from inside a hand suddenly extended out!


    "¡­!" Even Legs felt his heart leap to his throat.


    Crack!


    The hand widened the cracks, pushing all the unwanted elements aside, their eyes widened as they came to an understanding.


    "Is another beasting out from inside it?!"


    They were horrified. "Is that¡­?!"

 Chapter 352 New Warpsnare Form!

    "Is another beasting out from inside it?"


    "Is that¡­?"


    Whoosh!


    The beast finally broke out of its cocoon!


    With one p of its wings, it''s skinny but muscr body levitated into the skies. This beast that appeared looked like a bat but it also looked like a human, literally all the hunters including Legs recognized it immediately.


    Their eyes widened. "A Blood Vampire!"


    Time seemed to slow down as this dangerous Vampire levitated.


    ''Enhanced Sense- Fear and Weakness Detected!''


    ''Special Blood Vampire Ability: Commandment!''


    The Blood Vampire activated both abilities in less than a second while still levitating in the air, spacetime seemed to slow down significantly, giving him a crazy edge over the humans as everything flowed faster before him.


    The Enhanced Sense was a passive ability of the Blood Vampire, but the Commandment was a lethal ability that enabled them to manipte emotions.


    As soon as he detected fear and weakness, hemanded!


    "Imand that you be paralyzed with fear!"


    The couple instantly became paralyzed!


    "¡­!" The eyes of the 2 Elementalists remained pinned on the Blood Vampire.


    A mixture of fear and anger alternated between their eyes. Memories shed within their eyes, memories that they were reluctant to visit.


    ''Noooo¡­!''


    ''Ahhh¡­.!''


    ''Mommy¡­, save me!''


    ''Daddy, I don''t want to die¡­, please!''


    Weak and vulnerable, they could only watch on that fateful day 20 years ago as their son was torn apart by the ruthless Vampire. Despite being willing to sacrifice their lives for their son''s, the Vampire only had appetite for teenagers.


    Since then, they had to live with the guilt of not being able to save their son and only child. Since then, they trained like maniacs with this trauma.


    Fast-forward 20 years, they were now Grade D Elementalists, seasoned hunters of the Hunter Society yet they never got to outlive the trauma.


    The sight of a Blood Vampire reminded them of this cruel truth.


    They were still tormented daily by it.


    They were still afraid of that fateful day.


    "Imand that you be paralyzed with fear!"


    Instantly, both Elementalists paid the prize of letting down their guard due to their fear and traumas as instantly, they became paralyzed.


    The Blood Vampire pped it''s massive bat wings again.


    Whoosh!


    Everything was happening so fast, literally none of the hunters could keep track with the outrageous speed of the Blood Vampire. Only Legs, a Grade C Superhuman was able to keep coherent track of the Vampire''s movements.


    He was rmed.


    "Defend!" He yelled even as he exploded into action.


    Have separated from Ak already, Legs didn''t even have time to give his beast instructions as he simply essed his storage ring while charging forward.


    By the time that he arrived, the Vampire already arrived.


    "Blood Vampire Ability: Natural Weapons!"


    The next moment, the Blood Vampire seemed to undergo a qualitative change. Its nails became as tough and sharp as knives, it''s teeth like daggers, even as it''s gigantic bat wings seemed to be the long edges of sword des.


    The Vampire did not hesitate, it shed at the 2 paralyzed Elementalists.


    By now, Legs'' mes of ndel Enchanted Daggers already appeared on his hand but he already calcted that he could not make it on time.


    Legs improvised and changed his strategy on the spot.


    "SNAP OUT OF IT!" He roared at the 2 Elementalists.


    At this moment, there was no time to think, he simply acted on instinct.


    Crack!


    Something seemed to crack in their minds, both Elementalists woke up.


    They didn''t wake up entirely due to Legs'' roar, it was also because of their unwillingness and anger. Love between parents and their offspring was one of the most undiluted love ever, separation could create crazy vengeful spirits.


    Even as both Elementalists were frozen in fear due to the trauma, in the end, their anger and will for revenge trumped their fear of Vampires.


    The love that they had for their son already transcended life and death.


    They vowed after that day that they would avenge their son.


    Their eyes turned red like they became berserk.


    "Forbidden Elementalist Ability: Burning Blood; elerated Metabolism; Tooth for Tooth!"


    BOOM!


    Both Elementalists seemed to instantly turn into the Hulk.


    An explosion of power of crazy magnitudes rushed out. Before the Blood Vampire could react, the Elementalist couple with different elements confronted it.


    This Forbidden Elementalist Ability burned their blood in exchange for power. Apart from increased metabolism and the boosts that followed it, the greatest boon of all was that it enabled them tobine their Elementalist affinities.


    Combining ice and fire, it created a crazybination, blood steam!


    They didn''t need finesse to control the hot steam, they simply let it out!


    Boom! Boom! Boom!<novelnext></novelnext>


    The Blood Vampire was shocked, it could not dodge on time as the tyrannical power of the steam tore into it''s sturdy skin, drawing first blood!


    The couple dealt crazy damage in exchange for receiving crazy damage themselves. At least, this bought time for the other hunters to react.


    Whoosh!


    Legs shed with his Enchanted Dagger as fire covered the edge.


    Bam!


    With a focused look on his eyes, Rion pulled the trigger again.


    While thest Pugilist took care of himself after being injured by the Warpsnare''s Frog form, his 2 brothers left him and charged forward to engage the Vampire. The Mages and Edgar were not idle either as they attacked.


    Attacks rained on the Blood Vampire but unlike the ungraceful Frog who relied more on strength, the Blood Vampire was graceful and agile.


    He was as quick as a cat and as elusive as a rat.


    "Blood Vampire Ability: Enhanced Healing!"


    "Blood Vampire Ability: Enhanced Strength!"


    "Blood Vampire Ability: Enhanced Durability!"


    "Blood Vampire Ability: Enhanced Agility!"


    "Curse Spell: Speed Reduction!"


    "Curse Spell: Damage Reduction!"


    Even as the battle continued, instead of decreasing, its battle strength increased, pushing the veteran hunters to draw more into their stash of battle experience to keep this powerful monster contained.


    If it wanted to escape, it could have already escaped at this point but the Blood Vampire didn''t escape because it wanted revenge for losing one of its forms.


    Apart from its crazy physical attacks, drawing into the power of its bloodline, the Blood Vampire started releasing different curse spells.


    He didn''t even need to draw magic circles and signs, ingrained in its powerful bloodline, it simply essed them and unleashed them instantaneously, catching the hunters off-guard and disrupting their tempo.


    After a crazy battle of an intense pace for 15 minutes, the 2 Elementalists finally lost steam as another Pugilist was terribly injured. Before running out totally though, the couple made theirst ditch effort.


    "Forbidden Combination Ability: Vtile Reaction!"


    After onestbination of fire and ice, producing the dangerous steam, this time a much more vtile reaction urred as the steam produced gathered such a crazy concentrated energy that made it seem like an atomic bomb.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    With the explosion, the couple became totally spent.


    In exchange, they injured the Blood Vampire but that was all. Activating it''s enhanced healing bloodline ability literally negated all the damage.


    The hunters were shocked as the realization of what they were facing finally dawned on them, Edgar reacted the most. "Warpsnares are too dangerous".


    "And I bet this is not even its final form!"


    "Your Almighty the¡­"


    "Do not mention his name here!" Legs was quick to interject.


    He smiled. "He already intervened".


    He grinned. "He already blessed me".


    Legs no longer held back, he rushed forward even as he let his Grade C aura st out with the force of an avnche.


    He didn''t even call Ak along, for a Grade D beast, he was confident that he alone was enough to take care of it.


    "¡­!"


    As soon as his new aura and energy spread out, all the hunters reacted with shock even as they came to their different conclusions.


    ''The Great One can do something like this?!'' Edgar was going crazy.


    ''He indeed is an Almighty!''


    Feeling the sudden change in aura of one of his enemies, like the other hunters, the Warpsnare was also shocked into action.


    The Warpsnare could feel death directly breathing against its neck.


    ''Who is this hunter?!'' It dared not hesitate.


    "Final Forms: Dark Warg Form!"


    Bzzz!


    Before Legs could close the distance to it, the Warpsnare suddenly divided into 2. One of its forms remained the Blood Vampire, but the 2nd form brought out a Warg reeking with the dark energy of the underworld.


    "Woof!" This Warg''s bark reverberated like thunder.


    There were 2 tangible form opponents, but something else attacked Legs first.


    -----


    You have been affected by an ability from the Deceit Monkey: Disorientation


    You have been affected by an ability from the Deceit Monkey: Perception Distortion


    You have been affected by an ability from the Deceit Monkey: Deceit


    ----


    Bzzz!


    Legs'' perception of reality experienced an instant change.


    Legs was shocked. "Wow!"


    He was not afraid, he was simply amazed by the abilities shown by the Warpsnare, it made him all the more hyped for the takeover.


    ''This is a beast worthy to be my 4th contracted beast''.

 Chapter 353 The True Power Of A Warpsnare!

    For a few seconds, Legs felt regret.


    ''Why didn''t I use the Special Developer Package on this guy?''


    ''He would have made much better use of the package''.


    ''He is almost a perfect beast''.


    Throughout the battle against the Warpsnare, all that Legs was engaged in was observation. He carefully observed the abilities of the Warpsnare to determine if it was worth it for him to take as his 4th contracted beast.


    The first Frog form of the Warpsnare was powerful but if that was all that it could offer, to Legs, taking it was not worth it.


    After the death of it''s first form though, the ability of the Warpsnare to revive in another form was the first ability that fascinated him.


    Knowing that the Warpsnare had a Blood Vampire form increased his overall grade for it. The power shown by the Blood Vampire impressed him, this was the reason why he decided to finally end the show once and for all.


    He was already satisfied with the Warpsnare, he didn''t want it to kill one of the hunters before interfering because that was already the trajectory of the battle.


    When he decided to subdue it, he didn''t expect the Warpsnare to have other forms. When a Dark Warg appeared, Legs was surprised and impressed but he was even more shocked and impressed when he received the first attack.


    Neither of the Vampire or Warg attacked him yet, it was another form beast.


    The form that attacked him was a Deceit Monkey.


    "Wow! 4 forms, that is crazier than I expected already!"


    Another important factor that shocked him even more was the incredible ability of the Deceit Monkey to bypass the protection abilities of the gray world and use abilities that sessfully affected his mind and soul.


    To him, it was already a given, he must get this Warpsnare, this was the reason why he didn''t even bother to hold back any longer.


    -----


    You have activatedbat ability: Combat Master


    ----


    This was all he needed to subdue the Warpsnare.


    Before attacking to subdue the Warpsnare though, Legs needed to fight to regain the correct perception of reality. At this moment, the reality that he saw was one where everyone of his hunter teammates were tripled.


    Not only that, the Warpsnare''s forms were quadrupled.


    And still not just that, some of his hunter teammates seemed to go against him. ''Why would they go against me? What a ridiculous reality!''


    Whoosh!


    He rushed forward at all the Warpsnare forms as it also reacted.


    The Dark Wargs made their moves.


    "Arctic Summoning!"


    "Dark Telepathy!"


    "Compulsion!"


    Instantly after the activation of these 3 abilities, 3 things happened.


    First, a teleportation portal opened through which an army of Wargs wielding both dark and cold affinity charged through. Even as they charged towards Legs, the Dark Telepathy ability also took effect.


    In an instant, more hunters seemed to have been convinced by the incredible abilities of the Warpsnare as they turned against Legs, raising arms against him.


    Not just that, Legs was also not free from this harassment.


    ''Legs! Give up! You can''t win!'' These voices floated into his ears.


    ''Fighting against me is futile!''


    ''I cannot die!''


    ''I cannot be killed!''


    ''You cannot see my Deceit Monkey form and without seeing me, you can never break free from my Perception Distortion and Deceit abilities''.


    ''You have already been caught in it, this is your reality now''.


    ''You can''t fight it, sumb to it''.


    ''Surrender and be another of my vessels, fulfill your full potential by bing my new form. Join me let''s dominate the world together''.


    "¡­" Legs felt ridiculous.


    "Hahaha¡­!" Heughed loudly. "So funny!"


    "I came to make you my contracted beast and surprisingly, you now also aim to make me your vessel and new form, this life is really full of cannibalism".


    "Only the strong get to make the rules".


    He grinned. "Let the strong write the history today".


    At this point, like the Warpsnare said, Legs recognized that he was already drawn too deep in this distorted perception of reality.


    Even as he easily defended himself against the horde of attacks that flew towards him from the Warpsnare''s forms and his own hunters, he also recognized that at this moment, he was making no progress in subduing the Warpsnare.


    This was why he changed his strategy.


    ''Before, I loved calcting and strategizing since I was never strong enough''.


    ''But this time, I am actually the stronger of us 2''.


    ''There''s no need forplicated strategies, pure strength trumps everything''. He grinned.


    "Ak!"


    Despite how much his perception of reality was distorted, the Deceit Monkey was still nowhere powerful enough to distort his connection to his own contracted beast. Ak charged through all the interference towards him.

    Bzzz!


    Power oozed out of Legs'' body into the surroundings.


    Instantly after he fused with Ak again, he did not hesitate this time, manipting Ak''s powers, he activated the Alpha Wolf Specialty as instantly, the power of tens of thousands of wolves rushed into his body.


    He did not stop at that, Legs also decided to conjure Predator''s powers. Instantly, darkness energy rushed into his body with the force of an avnche.


    Legs felt bloated with power.


    He didn''t even need to attack, the pure manifestation of power around him finally exceeded the tolerance limits of the Deceit Monkey.


    Crack!


    "Yeee¡­!" The Monkey yelped in pain as it coughed blood.


    The fake reality created by this beast shattered.


    And for the first time, Legs saw the Deceit Monkey as it''s injury temporarily forced it to appear. It was an old ck monkey that looked like a Baboon, but much hairier, with a much bigger head.


    "Found you!"


    Before Legs could pounce on this opportunity to attack it though, he discovered something, there wasmotion all around him.


    "You bastard!"


    "Edgar, you traitor! How can you do this to us?"


    "Who is this guy? He is not one of the Grade C Lords of the Hunter Society, have you betrayed the trust of the Hunter Society?"


    "Edgar, what have you done?!"


    "Bastard! I trusted you!"


    All the hunters were already triggered by his sudden decision to subdue the beast singlehandedly. Him revealing his true powers made them snap back to reality, they were all veteran hunters, they easily understood his motive.


    ''He intends to take the Warpsnare for himself''.


    Despite the division andpetition in the Hunter Society, when faced against an external enemy, every hunter put aside their ego and cooperate, this was one of the core rules of the Hunter Society.


    Since the poption in Austere was at an all-time low, added to the fact that there were even fewer supers, literally every hunter in the Hunter Society knew the Grade C Lords in the Hunter Society and Legs was not one of them.


    For decades, they were indoctrinated into a set of rules.


    ''Any Super not part of the Hunter Society is an enemy''.


    ''He is either a rebel or even worse, an alien sent by the Monsters to trick us into surrendering the rest parts of the that is under out control''.


    ''We cannot fall for their tricks''.


    ''We must remain strong''.


    ''We shall defend our to ourst breath!''


    Remembering these words, all of them felt their passion be stoked. "Edgar, tell us! Is he a rebel or an alien?!"


    "We shall defend our to ourst breath!"


    Edgar was already in trouble as he retreated from the battle after being attacked by multiple attacks from the hunters he previously saw asrades.


    Seeing everything that happened, Legs finally understood.


    ''So the Deceit Monkey didn''tpletely make up the conflict in his distorted reality. He simply took facts from reality and slightly twisted them, nice''.


    Despite the frenzied charge of the hunters, Legs was not fazed, nothing would stop him from getting his goal today, he charged towards the Warpsnare.


    Unlike the other hunters, the Warpsnare was totally shocked by what happened. This was the first time in a long time that its distorted reality was shattered so convincingly even after it was forced to bring out all 4 of its forms.


    This was rich considering that in its eventful life, it had killed 2 Grade C Monsters that let down their guards already.


    Legs'' convincing effectiveness told this intelligent beast that it stood no chance, the Warpsnare finally decided to cut its losses and escape.


    "Shriek!"


    Its screech was loud as its Deceit Monkey form became invisible again.


    Thest 2 forms also turned in a bid to escape.


    Legs snorted. "Not under my watch!"

 Chapter 354 Subduing A Warpsnare

    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Having witnessed the abilities of the Deceit Monkey once already, Legs would not let himself be caught off-guard again, he was prepared this time.


    Legs already deduced that powerful individual strength did not cut it to subdue and capture the Warpsnare, this was probably the main reason why it had survived in a dangerous frontier like this for so long.


    With it''s Deceit Monkey form, it always had an easy escape method.


    Even if it met a powerful Grade B Monster, so long the Monster could not detect the presence of its Deceit Monkey form, it could escape at will.


    This was why the monster disyed so much nonchnt arrogance towards them, it was always confident that it could escape dangerous situations.


    Not this time though, the perfect counter to an ability thatpletely defied authorities and powers that were of a far higher quality than it was quantity.


    If you can''t beat them, buy them, it was an ideology simr to this.


    If Legs could not corner it through superiority, he would corner it through numbers. And thankfully, Ak''s kingdom experienced an explosive expansion recently, they were more than perfect for the job.


    Instantly after the rainbow bridge opened, an army of beasts came charging out. Golden Eagles, Wolves, they came out in the tens of thousands!


    Legs'' eyes gleamed. "Scour the surroundings!"


    "Search everywhere".


    "Leave no stone unturned".


    "Find the Deceit Monkey for me!"


    The army of beasts did not object to the orders, Legs''s words was like a decree from a God in heaven to them. Frenzied and motivated, the tens of thousands of beasts charged into the surroundings in search of the Monkey.


    The sight of an army of Golden Eagles and Wolves so many shocked not only the Warpsnare, but it also shocked the hunters, including Edgar.


    Edgar''s eyes widened. ''Was Sexy Chocte always this powerful?''


    ''Or¡­, are these all effects of the Hermit''s blessings?''


    His eyes turned fanatical. ''He is really an Almighty god!''


    ''Armies fights on his behalf!''


    While all these reactions took ce, Legs did not pay attention to them, this was because all his attention was now on the Dark Warg and Blood Vampire.


    This little interaction with the Warpsnare already made him deduce and learn a lot about it. One fact that he already deduced was that to capture this Warpsnare, he needed to capture every single one of its forms.


    After bing a Grade C Summoner, after fusing with everyone of his beasts, he had better control over how the final form would be.


    Since, after fusing with Ak, the form that he took was that of a human who developed wolf traits but now he changed.


    Crack!


    His bones cracked as his physiology changed instantly, Legs'' fused form became that of a wolf who developed some human traits, the paradigm changed!


    His eyes glowed with power.

    BOOM!


    The sound of the massive energyser moving through the air was like the sound of a rocketunching from a and exceeding its escape velocity.


    A sonic boom apanied it.


    Feeling the danger, both the Blood Vampire and the Dark Warg did not stay idle as both powerful beast forms fought for their lives.


    "Warg Special Ability: Telekinesis!"


    "Warg Special Ability: Spectral Form!"


    As soon as the Warg activated Telekinesis, trees and everything with a little bit of damage potential came under the control of this beast''s mind.


    While piling most of them at his front to form a defense against the energeticser that tore everything towards him, the Warg also released others to attack the Wolves and Golden Eagles that were ravaging everywhere after the Deceit Monkey.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Despite it''s methods, Grade D power had no basis topete with Grade C power. Theser tore through them all like a hot knife through butter.


    At thest moment before hitting though, the Dark Warg stimted it''s underworld energy as it briefly turned into a spectral form.


    In this form, theser passed harmlessly through it, it survived the attack.


    "Special Blood Vampire Ability: Bat Escape!"


    The Blood Vampire disintegrated into hundreds of tiny bats in a bid to escape but theser was too powerful, 90% of these tiny bats were obliterated instantly as they faded into ashes, fluttering aimlessly in.


    "Ugh¡­!" The Blood Vampire reformed itself as a much tinner Vampire.


    It coughed blood even as it directed a fearful nce at the human.


    "Please¡­"


    Legs was unforgiving, he released a Wind w attack,pletely obliterating the Blood Vampire out of existence and deleting away one menace.


    Even as his virtual interface lit up a notification to indicate his kill, he did not pay attention to it as his attention turned back to the Dark Warg.


    Both entities of different races looked at each other.


    Legs smirked. "For a Grade D Beast, you are powerful".


    "You are a beast of means".


    "In fact, you''re the best Grade D beast that I''ve ever faced in battle".


    "That is all the more reason why you need to be mine".


    "Human¡­!" The Dark Warg growled angrily but it soon paused.


    -----


    Your hunter team has killed a Grade D Mutated Deceit Monkey!


    Congrattions! You have participated in a trans-gctic killing of a Mutated Deceit Monkey!


    You have gained 2,000,000 Experience Points!


    ----


    This time, Legs briefly paused to look at the notification, he finally understood why the Dark Warg paused as heughed.


    "Like I guessed". His eyes gleamed.


    "Your abilities are simr to a Nine-Lives Cat. Every single one of your forms are like alternative lives for you, even if all your forms are killed but just one survives, you will survive".


    "And with time, you can recreate those forms again".


    "That is why you were so adamant in the Deceit Monkey escaping right?"


    "¡­" The Dark Warg looked at the human without saying a word.


    "Do not worry, your secret is safe with me". Legs smiled.


    Thud!


    He took a step forward.


    Thud!


    He took another step forward.


    Every thudding sound left the Dark Warg''s heart beating fast, thoughts flowed in this beast''s head at the speed of a supeputer yet it was not able to arrive at a contingency.


    He was going crazy. ''Will I be subdued today?''


    ''NO! I can''t be subdued! I am a noble Warpsnare!''


    Thud!


    He felt his heart copsing. "NO¡­!"


    He thought through all the abilities that this form of his possessed, some of them were potent and affected creatures from all races but like Legs already demonstrated, they were too weak to truly affect this human.


    Not even it''s trump cards would work, the Warpsnare was intelligent and it could already see the oue of this confrontation.


    It was unwilling to ept the reality though. "No! I refuse to ept this!"


    Thud!


    Legs finally arrived before it and without hesitation, he ced his hand on the forehead of the Dark Warg as instantly, both their consciousnesses were sucked away into a world that Legs was familiar with.

 Chapter 355 A Fierce Battle In The Contract World

    Bzzz!


    Legs opened his eyes to see himself inside a purple world.


    His eyes widened. ''The purple contract world of Grade C Summoners!''


    As soon as he asked, someone else was brought to this purple world.


    Bzzz!


    Without seeing it first, Legs already knew the entity that was brought here. In his Dark Warg form, the Warpsnare arrived, towering far bigger than it ever was in reality as it seemed like the ruler of the world.


    Legs at this moment seemed like a speck of dust before it.


    "WOOF¡­!!!"


    Its bark seemed to reach the ends of the world and back.


    This mighty bark was supposed to be intimidating but Legs'' reaction left the huge Warg lost, instead of being intimidated, Legs smirked.


    The next moment, the tiny human started growing. A smirk remained on Legs'' face as his body ballooned to a gigantic height that matched the Dark Warg, now, it seemed like 2 gods governing this world were about to sh.


    "Better now". Legs smiled.


    His eyes red straight at the Dark Warg. "I ept your challenge".


    "¡­"


    The Dark Warg tried to control it''s emotions but it failed miserably at it, at this moment, this Warpsnare was already pushed to the wall and was desperate.


    Compared to other beasts, the soul of a Warpsnare was far more developed and powerful considering that they had to house multiple bodies and abilities. The talent of ability-stealing and shape-shifting had to be supported by a strong soul.


    Flexing its powerful soul, it overpowered Legs'' soul defenses, desperately dragging him to the contract world for a final showdown.


    This was hisst chance to redeem himself.


    While dragging the human, the Warpsnare hoped and prayed that Legs was unfamiliar with the contract world but Legs'' reaction now shattered his hopes again. This beast was bing frustrated.


    ''This guy knows everything?!''


    Legs easily read his thoughts.


    "Hehe¡­" Heughed.


    "Dragging me to the contract world is your greatest mistake. Power depends on creativity here and I don''t mean to sound arrogant, but the truth is you stand no chance before me when ites to creativity".


    "SHUT UP HUMAN!"


    Legs smirked. "If you know how many anime and novels I''ve read in my previous life and how much creativity lies here¡­" He pointed at his brain. "You''d have never tried to bring me here, I''m literally home here".


    "SHUT UP FILTHY HUMAN!" The desperate Warpsnare finally lost it.


    Mobilizing the powers of the purple contract world, the Dark Warg grew gigantic tentacles through which itunched a range attack at the human. Legs simply smiled at the tentacles, he didn''t attack nor did he defend.


    Bam!


    Legs was smashed into a bloody pulp, he died.


    Bzzz!


    Legs came back to life the next moment though. Oning, the first thing that he did was look at his right wrist where he saw the number 99 briefly appear.


    Legs touched his chin in thought. "100 lives".


    "That''s crazy man, this would take longer than I expected".


    "¡­"


    Seeing the human react so nonchntly to dying and hearing his words, the Dark Warg felt even more infuriated, it attacked with it''s tentacles again.


    Boom!


    This time, they didn''t hit their target, they instead hit a blue shield.


    Legs turned to look at him. "The demo is over bro".


    "The real game starts now".


    Legs flexed his creativity as he mobilized the boundless creation power of the purple world, the next moment things started materializing to life around him.


    Battleship-grade cannons, sma rifles, antimatter rifles, gauss cannons, different weapons appeared around the Dark Warg and opened fire.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The Dark Warg died once.


    It came back to life.


    "Die human!"


    Bam!


    It died again, then it came back to life.


    "Filthy human!"


    Bam!


    It died again, then it came back to life.


    Unlike the white contract world when he was still a Grade E Summoner that was much more limited in it''s creation power, requiring him to spend more effort on suppressing Predator''s soul with his soul power, this was different.


    There was more than enough creation power for Legs to flex his creativity, and in this aspect, the Warpsnare simply didn''t hold a candle to him.


    Bam!


    Every sound that reverberated was that of the Warpsnare dying again.


    With 100 lives though, it was not ending soon. Legs lost track of time as he simply turned this session into an experiment session where he flexed the strongest equipment that he could envision against his opponent.


    After dozens of hours, the Warpsnare was battered and shattered.


    "Ahh¡­, you''re finally at yourst life". Legs stood up and walked towards it even as the past of the Warpsnare opened towards him.


    Like he expected, the Warpsnare''s life was extremely eventful despite living for just 8 years. Growing so much in such a small-time frame was due to the pressure and extremepetition in the wild of Austere.


    Thispetition turned the Warpsnare into the apex predator that it was.


    Now though, it would be Legs'' next contracted beast.


    Legs also learned the Warpsnare''s name.


    "Prime". He smiled. "Since your race name is Warpsnare, I will call you Warp Prime".


    As soon as Legs ced his hand on his head, the Warpsnare''sst defense was shattered as he finally left a soul imprint of himself inside the Warpsnare.


    The Warpsnare instantly reverted to its base Swamp Frog form, then it bowed respectfully. "Master".


    "Good". Legs smiled.


    He felt excited, his trip this time was extremely sessful.


    ¡­


    Instantly after returning to reality, the Warpsnare experienced a breakthrough on the spot as the Organic Connection worked on it.


    All the hunters looked in awe as everything happened.


    A few minutester, Legs essed his status.

    ''Finally!''


    Seeing the new tab that appeared in his virtual interface status, Legs took a deep breath and savored it as a feeling of satisfaction spread through him.


    Most of the times, the super progression ranking was not always linear. A Grade D Superhuman could easily thrash a Grade E Superhuman, but few Grade D Superhumans could effortlessly thrash up to 10 Grade E Superhumans.


    If you take it a step upwards, it was almost the same. Any Grade C Superhuman could thrash a Grade D Superhuman, but the second part was also different since the power scale increased with every progression.


    A typical Grade C Superhuman could singlehandedly thrash more than 100 Grade D Superhumans before feeling the heat of his activity.


    Upwards, the margin of strength between the grades increased even further.


    At the Grade S level, most of the existences at this level already became more or less gods before lesser Supers. Compared to lesser supers, their stamina in battle was almost endless and they could keep on fighting for a long time.


    Most Grade S Superhumans could fight any amount of Grade A Superhumans that was thrown at them so long that no special restrictions were imposed on them.


    This margin of strength as the levels increased was why Dominator introduced the Overall Power tab among yer''s status as they grew stronger. This tab could better highlight the power between same-graded supers.


    Overall power was a more abstract conceptpared to others like levels.


    Overall power determines your grade, not your level and it was affected by figures like skills, special abilities, abilities, talents, health points, mana points, and basic attributes. These all affect overall power.


    For example, some stats can improve through special treasures the same way Legs'' health points increased exponentially after getting a Supreme Talent.


    Those who gets these advantages have higher overall power than their counterparts of the same grade. This was why a level 70 yer could still be a Grade D Superhuman, while a level 65 yer could be a Grade C Superhuman.


    With the overall power tab, this distinction was properly highlighted.


    The lowest overall power at a certain grade was the Neophyte, followed by the Middling, then the Advanced, and Veteran powerhouses.


    Legs was an Advanced Grade C Superhuman despite advancing only recently because of his many advantages, his unique contracted beasts, and most especially the Supreme Talent that he now got.


    Unfortunately for him, de was already a Veteran Grade C Pugilist after inheriting the extremely valuable life experiences of the legend, Jon Stones.


    Jon Stones'' sacrifice literally supercharged de''s growth as a Pugilist.


    As for Christensen, he was still a Middling Grade C Summoner despite his mythical beast. Legs theorized though that as Frigga recovered more of his powers, Christensen would grow through the ranks at an astonishing pace.


    Overall, Legs was satisfied with what he got from this trip.


    ''Using thest gray mist ball slot was the right choice''. He smiled.


    Without hesitation, he finally left.


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    Instantly after returning to the gray world, the first thing that Edgar did was to look up at the powerful existence that remained seated nonchntly on his throne. He bowed to pay his respects.


    Unknown to him, the person that returned with him was already swapped.


    Legs'' doppelganger also bowed. "Thank you for this opportunity your Excellency, I will never forget it".


    "I will try my best to live up to your expectations".


    Hearing this, Edgar felt a surreal feeling engulf his heart. Having yed an integral part in Legs getting the Warpsnare, inside, he felt like he just took part in creating history, he looked up in anticipation.


    Like he expected, the Hermit''s attention finally rested on him.


    "Edgar".


    Edgar felt his blood rush faster on hearing his name called.


    "I promised to make you a member of my gctic gray world gathering if you seeded in helping my servant secure the Warpsnare, and you seeded".<novelnext></novelnext>


    Edgar held his breath.


    "Congrattions, you are the newest member of the gray world gathering".


    "I trust Legs already told you most things about the gathering, you''ll learn about the rest during the next gathering which will take ce in a few weeks'' time, be prepared for the gathering".


    As soon as the Hermit finished speaking, Edgar kowtowed.


    "I sincerely appreciate this once in a lifetime opportunity".


    "I will never squander it".


    Any dubious thoughts that Edgar previously had about the Hermit were cleared by Legs'' strength. Strength was the best way to convince an outlier, Legs'' strength convinced him that the Hermit was indeed a far greater existence.


    He sincerely appreciated the opportunity that he got but thinking about the crazy prize that he had to pay, his mood could not help but dampen.


    This did not escape the Hermit''s omniscient eyes.


    He spoke again. "Life is full of sacrifices".


    "Without sacrifices, we can never be greater than we previously were".


    The Hermit''s deep eyes pierced through Edgar''s eyes. "Edgar, tell me, what do you think of the chances of your to survive the apocalypse?"


    Instantly, memories were projected in Edgar''s head. Memories of the apocalyptic beasts steamrolling through their defenses, memories of newspaper and news reports of constant defeats, constant retreats.


    Edgar''s mood became sadder than ever before at the reality.


    He slumped his shoulders. "We won''tst long".


    "If we don''t find a new home in the stars, I doubt we''ll be able to escape extinction past another century from now".


    Seeing Edgar''s bodily reactions, Legs knew that he already gained the initiative again. He once again fully embodied the persona of the Almighty Hermit as he continued guarding the psychic.


    "So embrace your destiny".


    "¡­" Edgar looked up in iprehension.


    "A Warpsnare appearing in your was no coincidence, neither was your meeting with me a coincidence. They are all parts of the strings of fate that directs your destiny, all the events are paving the path to fulfill your destiny".


    Edgar still looked like he didn''t understand.


    Then the Hermit finally dropped the bomb.


    "Your destiny is to save Austere from the apocalypse".


    "¡­!"


    Edgar was so shocked that he could not speak for minutes.


    The Hermit continued. "If you are smart enough to maximize the benefits of being a member of my gathering, you are capable of saving Austere".


    "Since the Hunter Society would no longer ept you, be a rebel".


    "Be a rebel and be free".


    "When you''re truly free is the only time that you can save your from the apocalypse, it no longer means much to remain in yourfort zone".


    The normal Edgar would have seen all these long talk as oundish and nonsense a few days ago but now, Edgar listened and saw reason in them, he suddenly felt like he was being addressed by a heavenly sage.


    Instantly, everything became clearer to him. ''The Hermit is really a god, only matters concerning wholes are enough to attract his attention''.


    Edgar''s eyes shone in epiphany. "Bing a rebel¡­"


    "That is my destiny?"


    "It is my destiny!" His eyes suddenly shone. "Saving my is my destiny!"


    At the same time that his mind became firm, Legs'' virtual interface lit up a new notification that surprised him.

    Inside a room in an inn at the outskirts of the human settlements¡­


    Edge looked at his friend with an emotional look on his face. "Are you sure? Is this your decision?"


    "Yes". Edgar''s eyes shone with conviction and determination.


    "I must go rogue, that is the only way to save our".


    Edge turned his face away and chuckled like he couldn''t believe it. "Seriously, I''m shocked Edgar. A day ago, you barely cared about the affairs of the and now you suddenly believe your destiny is to be the savior of our ne?"


    "Yes".


    Edge looked at hisrade onest time. "I respect your decision but¡­"


    He looked down. "You leave me no choice".


    Edge''s hand moved fast as he formed a magic sign.


    Bzzz!


    Edgar docked and rolled away as he was attacked even as he roused his powerful mental power and sted back at hisrade.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    After a scuffle that left the inn destroyed, causing a greatmotion and attracting a lot of attention, Edgar escaped into the woods.


    Today, Edgar became a rebel.


    Edge watched as Edgar disappeared from his vision. ''I wish you luck Edgar''.

 Chapter 357 Finals Of The National Dominator Tournament; Individuals!

    Bzzz!


    As soon as Legs was alone again in the gray world, he heaved a sigh of relief as he recovered from all the exertions of the past few days.


    Though the power of the gray world did most of the work, he still needed to exert a lot of his attention and power to do so much with the gray world.


    Despite the many exertions though, he was satisfied with his discoveries and gains. He was also satisfied with the new main mission that he triggered.


    ''Now I see the benefits of reincarnation''.


    ''As an NPC, I am no longer tied to just a single. And with the gray world, I am no longer just tied to the storyline of a single either''.


    ''My reach is much farther now, I can directly affect a lot more things''.


    He grinned. ''When looked at like this, it seems the gray world was tailor-made just to help me in my quest to discovery the mysteries of this world''.


    ''Though it''s not direct, spreading my influence and reach will definitely help me in my quest. From a, perhaps, I may be able to spread my influence over a whole Star System in the future and perhaps even a Star Cluster''.


    Just the thought of it excited him to no end.


    Another fact that excited him apart from the more gray world rted benefits was the benefit to his gathering in the form of Edgar. With Edgar''s addition, his gray world was gradually close to forming the perfect super gathering.


    If he could add a Mage in the future, thebo would beplete.


    The transaction phase of the gray world gathering would no longer be as monotonous, but would be like a real ck market to get exclusive goods.


    Knowing the advantages of each of the other 3 main sses in Dominator, Legs was hyped. The growth rate of the gathering''s members would undoubtedly skyrocket once they started engaging more in transaction sessions.


    Apart from all these benefits and advantages though, the real benefit that Legs got from this trip which excited him to no end was Warp Prime.


    He finally released the restrictions of the gray world.


    Bzzz!


    The next moment, 2 beasts were teleported to the gray world.


    "¡­" Ak was silent as he curiously observed this world.


    As Legs'' contracted beast, the faint aura of the gray world was not strange to him since it was always connected to Legs. Despite that, getting to see this world tangibly for the first time left the Emperor Wind Wolf fascinated.


    Apart from him though, the other beast was much more docile.


    In it''s base state, a Warpsnare was a simple slime.


    "Hehe¡­" Legs chuckled as he looked at the unassuming purple slime with tiny pokes and holes for eyes, nose, and mouth that seemedpletely harmless.


    He picked it up. "Who is a cutey cutey slime?"


    "Me!" The Warpsnare cheered.


    "Who is a deadly ability-stealing slime?"


    "Me!" Warp Prime cheered again excitedly.


    "Who is a deadly shape-shifting slime?"


    "Me!" "Me!" Warp Prime cheered louder.


    In the end, Warp Prime was just 8 years old. Though he was far older than Lucky and Predator, in gctic terms, he was still just a baby Warpsnare.


    The reason why he grew such an aggressive and predatory personality was due to the nature of Austere. The hostile environment traumatized and toughened him up, turning him into an aggressive monster just to survive.


    During their connection in the contract world, Legs saw all of Warp Prime''s life. For a long time, Warp Prime searched for a little bit offort.


    After all the struggles, after all the battles, after all the killings, the slime sought for somefort but Austere just didn''t allow it.


    Left with no choice, to survive, it could only keep on fighting and killing and this warped its personality even further.


    It was after being contracted to Legs that all his struggles abated a bit.


    No longer feeling solely in charge of his life and survival, no longer under so much threat and with someone to now look up to, Warp Prime reverted to his true nature, just an unassuming slime.


    Legs yed with the slime even as Ak kept on exploring the gray world. After some time, he finally paused to think about his next ns.


    Due to the time that he spent in Austere, he had to scrap some of his ns since others already became a priority. "I would have loved to get all 4 of my beasts perfect Spirit Beastspanion now but I can''t rush it".


    "Shanks'' swearing in ceremony is in 2 days".


    "Not just that, after weeks of development, the National Dominator Tournament is finallying to an end, I need to monitor the finals".


    Having been an avid fan of this tournament in his previous world, at least, even as a reincarnator, Legs wanted to pay his respects even if it was just for the finals to remind himself that he was inherently still an Earthling.


    His decision was not just for that reason though, it was also for his pocket.


    "Hehe¡­" He chuckled as his virtual interface lit up another notification.

    After the events of Version 1 to the yers and seeing how big of a role he yed in destroying the Clown Society, a lot of yers were attracted to his faction. They joined without hesitation, increasing his virtual farnd.


    Most of these yers believed that if Version 2 would also take ce in Darvis, he would y a big role and was why they joined his faction.


    More than 70% of yers in Darvis already joined his faction. To Legs, this was a ripe field waiting for his sickle to harvest them of their experience points that they had amassed till now.


    Before the tournament began, knowing the current purchasing power of the yers, he gave a discount that wouldst throughout the whole tournament.


    Every day, Legs received virtual notifications like this as the yers triedst-ditch efforts to increase theirbat power and perform better in the tournament. Now, it was already the finals.


    Though this meant that majority of the yers were already eliminated and would no longer patronize him, he also recognized that this was an opportunity.


    Legs'' eyes shone as he remembered the elixirs that he didn''t get to use.


    He made a decision.

    Legs grinned in satisfaction as through his NPC interface tab, he finally navigated to the server where the individual finals battle was being broadcasted.


    He settled on his throne in the gray world and watched.


    "Oh¡­" He suddenly remembered something.


    With a wave of his hand, a bag of popcorn materialized on his hand, he smiled in satisfaction and adjusted himself on his throne.


    ¡­


    [Individual Battle Final!]


    [yer #Valkyrie vs #Ghost Sentry!]


    "It''s been a long ride over the weeks but here we are man, at the official finals of the National Dominator Tournament".


    "Our 2 heroes who made it here already etched their names in the echelons of history in Dominator, they have bossed their battles through the weeks, defeating countless opponents and achieving clutch victories".


    "Valkyrie, a perfect hero of the ages, unmatched in battle¡­"


    As the invitedmentator for the final introduced both opponents, behind the battle arena stage, Ghost Sentry took a deep breath as he made hisst preparations before stepping into the battle arena.


    It still felt like a dream to him but to his shock, after grinding hard for so many months, he not only fulfilled his dream to be a pro yer but he also made it to the individual final of the very first National Dominator tournament.


    At this moment, he felt overwhelmed.


    Of course, proven veterans like the Sword God and Berserker God were still much stronger than him but to these experts, the team tournament was much more important since they had a club to represent.


    Both of these game Gods were already eliminated a week ago, Raining Sword''s full focus was on the team final but shockingly, the Blue Autumn Team suffered a shock defeat in the semifinals, being knocked out of the tournament.


    The team who knocked them out, Team Glory was a new team to the professional scene, they were the true darkhorse of the tournament.


    They would be fighting against the Fish Trout team in the final tomorrow.


    Having suffered a team heartbreak already, this final was Ghost Sentry''sst chance to truly prove himself. Getting to this stage of the tournament, to many, he already proved himself but he was ambitious, he wanted more.


    "I must win this final!" He dered.


    As soon as their names were called out, he stood up and got prepared to leave but as a ritual of his, he checked his faction shop onest time.


    "Huh? New items?" He was surprised.


    [Special Good: Reflex Elixir!]


    [Price: 10,000 Experience Points!]


    [Special Good: Battle Instinct Elixir!]


    [Price: 10,000 Experience Points!]


    Due to the time limit since they were already called out, he could not read the full effects of this so-called elixirs but he did not waste time, he bought them.


    If there was one thing that Ghost Sentry had learned, it was that Legs never cheated them, his goods were always worth the price.


    After thisst purchase, he entered the battle arena.


    He could feel his opponent''s energy from afar, Valkyrie with his long spear was energetic and pumped. His opponent''s energy left him feeling challenged, his blood burned hotter as he prepared for battle.


    A secondter, their sh started!


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Ghost Sentry and Valkyrie were caught in a stalemate.


    As one of the yers in Team Glory, to Ghost Sentry, this was not just a personal battle but was a grudge battle also to take revenge on behalf of his team.


    Knowing what was at stake, both yers gave their all.


    The atmosphere in the spectator stands was fiery as the fans yelled at the top of their voices, supporting the yer from their team. Both yers beat each other up till their health points went below 10%, dropping to red.


    This was when a tiny difference in ability would matter.


    Valkyrie charged forward with his spear as he seemed to be the envoy of a goddess. Having lost grip of his sword, Ghost Sentry felt lost even as his blood pumped faster as his opponent charged towards him.


    The thought of losing briefly shed through his mind but he vehemently rejected it, this was when he remembered something.

    Instantly, Ghost Sentry changed.


    For a moment, Valkyrie was shocked as his opponent seemed to turn into a fearsome and fearless predator. The sudden new battle instincts that he gained felt foreign to Ghost Sentry but he had no trouble channeling it in battle.


    Just before the spear could hit, Ghost Sentry twisted to an impossible angle, dodging the stab by the skin of his teeth.


    With one hand, he grabbed the spear and with the other hand, he used his opponent''s momentum against him, mming him to the ground with force.


    Bam!


    Before Valkyrie could react, Ghost Sentry raised the spear higher and stabbed. Valkyrie didn''t even see iting, he died to his own spear.


    [Winner: Ghost Sentry!]


    Fans of the Blue Autumn team went crazy!


    "Sentry!" "Sentry!" "Sentry!"


    The victory was indeed a memorable and bombastic one.

    ----


    "Yum!" "Yum!" "Yum!"


    With a wide grin on his face, Legs ate his popcorn with gusto.


    "This final is bing much more interesting, hehe¡­"


    The dramatic victory that Ghost Sentry achieved became the exact advertisement factor that Legs needed to skyrocket the value of his Special Elixirs, he could barely wish for anything better.


    Seeing the effects of the elixir in Ghost Sentry''s victory, he was easily able to estimate the next value of the elixir and he didn''t even hesitate to change it.


    Despite increasing the prize by a whooping 10 times, all the purchases came within less than a minute after Ghost Sentry''s victory.


    Desert Gust and Dragon Mist, the Captain of Glory team did not hesitate to splurge to get their hands on the remaining Special Elixirs in preparation for their final sh. They were not taking any chances.


    In just a few seconds, Legs'' Experience Points stash expanded by more than a million, heughed heartily as he felt on top of the world.


    "This is good business man".


    Since the individual battle final was fought in the evening, all that Legs and other yers needed was a quick night sleep for the D-day toe.


    The excitement among the yers instantly improved to a crazy high.


    Even the NPCs were spooked by the energy of the yers. They could feel their excitements without knowing the real cause of their excitements, this led to many spections about the crazy immortals that now resided among them.


    Even in the gray world, Legs felt the excitement in the air.


    Time flowed fast and it was finally time.


    [Team Tournament Final!]


    [Team Fish Trout vs Team Glory!]


    Instantly, the cheers of the fans increased to another crazy high as they supported their teams. After their brilliant run in the tournament, though Team Glory was new to the professional scene, they already grew their own fanbase.


    The cheers were thunderous as thementator finally started giving a brief overview about both teams and their performance so far in the tournament.


    While all these happened, both teams were in different booths.


    Saber Tongue looked up at his senior and mentor. "We will win right?"


    Desert Gust looked down at him, then he chuckled. "Hehe¡­"


    "To our fans and our employers, it matters but to us, it doesn''t really matter if we win or lose. What matters is that we are able to show the thousands of yers about the charm and glory in the legendary trash-talk battle style".


    Desert Gust grinned. "When you go out there, don''t think to win".


    "Think to entertain". His voice radiated excitement.


    "Show them what you are made of".


    "Fight to make yourself happy above all else".


    "Fight till satisfaction!"


    Saber Tongue hesitated. "But it''s a final, shouldn''t we take it serious?"


    "Hehe¡­" Desert Gust''s grin widened. "The stakes make it more satisfying".


    In the end, Saber Tongue also chuckled. "Hehe¡­"


    All the pressure evaporated from his being like they were nonexistent in the first ce, his excitement levels rose to a high like his mentor.


    When the sh finally started, it started on a high.


    "Senior, your team sulks!" Saber Tongue yelled.


    "You guys sulk far more than the Mountain Shakers, how do you even fight when you have so little supporters shouting your name and spurring you on?"


    "It must be so boring".


    "I can never fight for a team like yours, it''s so shameful".


    They were all already used to Saber Tongue''s trash-talk in battle but in the heat of battle, being bombarded with them still hit different.


    Dragon Mist kept a cool head.


    "We will win". He reminded his yers.


    "Remember our battle formation and targeted strategy, execute it now".


    The Glory team''s 6 yers were 2 Pugilists, 2 Elementalists, and 2 Summoners. The reserve 6th yer was one of the Summoners.


    The first team yers were the 2 Pugilists, one of the Summoners, and the 2 Elementalists of which one was a healer.


    Instantly after their Captain gave them the go ahead, they exploded into action. In terms of individual skill, they more or less matched the Fish Trout team.


    To make the difference, this was when Dragon Mist''s strategies came.


    For every opponent that they faced in the tournament, Dragon Mist prepared a strategy that always allowed them to win. This time was no different, the strategy was to iste the nuisance and fight the others the normal way.


    Desert Gust was a great one on one duelist but so was Dragon Mist.


    As for Saber Tongue, not so much. Dragon Mist took one of his Elementalists along, a Water Elementalist and together, they effectively boxed Desert Gust and Saber Tongue in, isting them from their other teammates.


    Their main job was stopping these 2 from interfering in the other battlefield, and considering they were both the most mentally resilient, they were up to the task though it was going to be a grueling one.


    "Haha¡­, what ame strategy!" Saber Tongue ruthlessly mocked.


    "Mentor, let''s show them the power of trash-talking!"


    Desert Gust didn''t actually need his reminder, he was already at it.


    "Clueless mother*ckers!"


    "F*ck this!"


    "Take that!"


    "Eat that you son of a b*tch!"


    "F*ck you sideways!"


    Despite their loud trash-talking, Dragon Mist and his teammate remained stoic and nonchnt as they calmly resisted their barrage of attacks.


    Matching them skill for skill, they showed no signs of falling soon.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Overall, this battlefield was a stalemate but at the other side, it was apletely different scenario.


    Abination of an aggressive Pugilist in Valkyrie, supported by an elite Summoner andpetent Healer Elementalist was already suppressing and grinding at the remaining 3 yers of the Fish Trout team.


    Like Dragon Mist guessed, without the support of their trash-talking trump card duo, the Fish Trout team suddenly seemed to have be toothless.


    With a healer behind them to take care of their health points, Valkyrie and his Summonerpanion were unbridled as they charged their enemies.


    They hit pound for pound, dealing terrible damage that ate at their opponent''s health points. It was after a minute that the yers of the Fish Trout team discovered that this pattern was detrimental to them.


    If their opponent''s healer kept on healing in an unbridled manner, they would lose, they decided to target the healer first but Glory team was prepared.


    They executed their battle strategy to the finest degree, implementing a well-practiced routine that enabled them to effortlessly protect their healer.


    In the end, the pro yers of the Fish Trout team could not properly react on time. With no healer to heal them, one of them finally fell.


    This change disrupted the whole momentum of the Fish Trout team.


    Instantly, the 6th reserve yer of the Fish Trout team entered but the journey to the battle arena took some precious time. Before he arrived, another yer was killed, giving the Fish Trout team a deficit of 2 yers!


    Everything happened so fast, the loyal fans were lost and enraged.


    The most infuriating fact was that the 6th reserve yer was still no Healer. Over the course of the tournament, due to their battle style, Desert Gust slowly phased out their healer and introduced a new yer into the team.


    The only thing that the fans knew was that this yer was a Summoner, they knew nothing else about him and now this decision infuriated them.


    "What the heck is going on?!"


    "How the f*ck do theye to a final without a healer?!"


    "The Berserker God is responsible!"


    "He''s no f*cking God! A game God cannot be so brainless!"


    As the fans vent their anger, it did nothing to help the case of their team as the conundrum of the Fish Trout team kept on getting worse.


    Like the fans, Desert Gust was also shocked at the effective winning strategy of their opponents, this was an unfamiliar concept to him. Dragon Mist was the first opponent that he faced to utilize strategies to such a crazy effect in VR games.


    Desert Gust was shocked but he did not let despair get to him.


    "Mentor, we''re losing". Saber Tongue said as he dodged another attack.


    "Shut up!" Desert Gust reprimanded him.


    "We''re not losing!" He dered.


    "Remember what I told you in the booth?" He suddenly asked.


    Saber Tongue briefly recollected though it was hard in the midst of this fierce battle. "Yes, I remember, what does that has to do with now?"


    Desert Gust didn''t answer him, he instead asked another question. "Of Relentless Showman''s 2 beasts, do you remember their affinities?"


    "Oh!" Saber Tongue''s eyes lit up. "They both have Sound affinity!"


    "Yes". Desert Gustughed as his battle intent was stimted.


    "We will not lose!" This veteran pro yer dered arrogantly.


    He red at Dragon Mist. "I may have been caught off-guard by your strategies, but if you think I''ll change my battle approach because of that, think again. I''m forever the God of trash-talking".


    At the same time, the new yer, Relentless Showman made his move.


    "Echo, Hollow, now!" The Summoner yelled.


    Instantly, his 2 beasts appeared, they were birds. These 2 birds flew in the air as they opened their beasts and started singing. They were not singing in a literal manner, what came out of their beaks were simply soundless echoes.


    [You have been affected by the Special Sound Ability: Sound Amplification!]


    [You have been affected by the Special Sound Ability: Ear Pration!]


    [Ally Identity Detected!]


    [You are protected; effect applies only on enemies!]


    Desert Gust grinned. "Saber, let''s show them what we''re made of".


    This time, they no longer said it, they screamed it.


    It was like a rollercoaster of beats, rhythms, and crazy lyrics!


    "TAKE THIS!"


    "TAKE THAT!"


    "EAT THAT!"


    "SH*T THAT!"


    "YOUR FATHER!"


    "YOUR REAL DAD!"


    "YOUR PATERNAL GRANDMOM!"


    "THAT IS FOR MY TEAMMATE''S DEATH!"


    "THAT IS FOR YOUR STUPID STRATEGIES!"


    "THIS IS FOR TRYING TO UNDERMINE THE POWER OF TRASH-TALKING!"


    Oh well, once Desert Gust and Saber Tongue upped the game, Dragon Mist and his teammates saw only red.


    To the spectators, all they heard was Desert Gust and Saber Tongue screaming like fools while spamming their opponents with crazy attacks.


    To their opponents though, they experienced hell.


    Under the sound amplification and ear pration abilities, they felt vulnerable as this sound prated all their defenses, sting into their brains and scattering their thoughts and battle effectiveness.


    Have you ever been subjected to a loudspeaker''s ear-bursting sound at 100%? Well, this was it, it was a nightmare.


    Mixed with the fact that these were not ordinary sounds but insults directed at them, all the pro yers of the Glory professional team lost concentration.


    "Hehe¡­, I originally kept this trump card for Raining Sword and his bastards, I never expected you guys to beat them neither did I expect you to push us to this extent. You''re perfectly worthy to receive it".


    The Glory team never recovered from this massive trash-talk attack, by the time that they regained their cohesion, 3 of them already died.


    By the time that their reserve yer arrived, another yer from the Fish Trout team died but they also lost their Captain and healer.


    The reserve yer became their only surviving yer.


    Against the trash-talking gang though, he stood no chance.


    The reserve yer wasboed till death.


    The Fish Trout team won!


    [Winner of the Dominator Team Tournament: Team Fish Trout!]


    "¡­" Their fans were shocked, everything felt like it was a dream.


    A moment ago, they were criticizing their team and now they were the official champions of the first Dominator Team Tournament.


    The fans exploded with cheers as they roared at the top of their voices.


    "WE''RE THE CHAMPIONS!"


    "WE WON!"


    "ALL HAIL THE BERSERKER GOD!"


    "ALL HAIL HIS SIDEKICK, THE SABER TONGUE WITH A VIPER''S VENOM!"


    "ALL HAIL THE RELENTLESS SHOWMAN!"


    "ALL HAIL THE FISH TROUT FAMILY!"


    The explosive celebrations of the fans of this famous VR game club spooked the many NPCs who heard them, while a certain NPC watched with an amused look on his face as he feasted on his popcorn.


    "Team Fish Trout won huh?"


    "It''s the same as my previous life".


    The celebrations that day went into the night and not just in the game, they spilled to the yer''s reality on Earth as they celebrated wildly.

 Chapter 359 Swearing-In Ceremony

    Today, the sun was early as its golden rays illuminated the world.


    The leaves of trees shivered and danced as the dew from the previous night was evaporated from their surfaces.


    As their wet surface became dry, they seemed to exude a happier and more vibrant demeanor as they danced and absolved the rays of the sun.


    Today, even the trees and their leaves were happy.


    Happiness, this was the overall sentiment in Darvis today.


    Happiness and excitement, these were the 2 overriding emotions as a day that every citizen of Darvis anticipated finally came.


    After a month since the very first election was held, today was finally the day for the swearing-in ceremony. Despite the fact that it was already a month, most citizens still found it hard to believe the changing era.


    They loved their feelings of unbelief though, it made them feel happier since it did nothing in stopping the going trend which meant that they were not dreaming. They instead reveled in it.


    After the election a month ago, led by Legs, Shanks'' swearing-in ceremony started being organized. Through his bits and pieces of advice, they saw the need for a Vice President and already elected her.


    After much thought, Candidate Lydia became Shanks'' Vice.


    Though Legs also brought up a need for the Senate and other governmental offices, everything could not be done at once considering this was the first time. Those offices would be added slowly one at a time.


    The ceremony was held at the new Presidential Vi that was just constructed less than a week ago by the reliable Landmark Construction Company.


    The building was a gigantic rectangle-shaped mansion decorated with a pure white color. From afar, it looked like a mansion straight from heaven.


    The swearing-in ceremony would take ce inside the mansion.


    From the early hours of the morning, every citizen of Darvis already woke up. Their excitement was understandable, all across the, the atmosphere was like they were about to experience an iconic festival.


    Hours before the intended 10:00am could reach, the Presidential Vi was already filled with patriotic Darvis Citizens who wanted to wee their President.


    Those that could not attend physically watched through the virtual screens that were projected in various centers. At exactly 10:00am, it started.


    It started through a light reception where the guests were provided a tform to be introduced to each other, while also giving the main guests of the swearing-in ceremony time to arrive.


    Cheers soon erupted as certain dignitaries arrived.


    Shanks, Lydia, alongside High Officials like Legs and the others were brought to the Presidential Vi through a chariot pulled by flying Wind Horses.


    Originally, after this in Legs'' n came the introduction of the head table guests but not today, Darvis was simply too excited and impatient for that.


    Even Shanks and Lydia could not wait for it to happen.


    ording to them, it was better to keep everything simple.


    Instantly after their arrival, Shanks took centerstage as he climbed the podium while waving to the tens of thousands of citizens that gathered before him.


    Waving at them, this Summoner felt a surreal feeling in his heart.


    ''This feeling is nice¡­, I hope I don''t let them down''.


    In no time, he stood before the pulpit-like table where a book was there waiting for him. He looked inside, smiled, before raising his right hand up.


    "I, Shanks Quinton do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of Darvis, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend thews and Constitution of Darvis".


    "I swear to always defend the sovereignty of Darvis".


    "So, help me God".


    Most high-grade Supers didn''t believe in the notion of a God, they only respected power but most citizens in the believed in a higher existence. Legs insisted on thatst part since the President was addressing the citizens.


    As soon as Shanks said thest part, he officially became the President of Darvis. For a few seconds, total silence dominated among the citizens as they fully took in the gravitas of this moment.


    Yes, they just witnessed history.


    "President Shanks!"


    "President Shanks!"


    "President Shanks!"


    A lot of the citizens heaved sighs of relief, it was not a bluff Afterall. Their emotion was so strong that a lot of them even broke down in tears.


    For a long time, the cheers did not abate even as President Shanks left the stage for his Vice to climb the podium and also give her oath.


    Compared to the President, Lydia had a more neutral expression on.


    She raised her right hand.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "I, Lydia Jones, do swear in the name of God and all Supers that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of Darvis as byw established and that I will discharge the duty upon which I am about to enter".


    The cheers were tamer but were still filled with emotion nheless.


    After this, the citizens felt like a great burden was lifted off their hearts.


    This was the true dawn of a new era.


    After the oaths, before the President''s official speech which was thest item in the agenda, 2 statues were to be unveiled.


    Made by some of the best aesthetic-focused Earth Elementalists in Darvis, both statues were extremely lifelike, the citizens immediately knew them.


    Surprisingly, the first statue was not that of the President, rather it was that of Legs.


    Holding a Rifle that was deliberately made to look sharper and powerful to dramatic effect, Legs'' eyes were focused up at an unknown enemy. He was not standing on bare ground, beneath him was the depiction of a mighty beast.


    Predator''s ck skin gleamed dangerously under the glow of the sun; the mighty Nightmare Beast was depicted to look like a mighty angel''s mount.


    On top Predator and with the Rifle on his hand, Legs looked like the Divine General that would lead Darvis into wars and win as conquerors.


    "Our Savior!"


    No one knew who started it but as soon as it started, the chant gained momentum. Legs'' feat in the battle of Hellfire Mountains could never be forgotten, he was forever immortalized in Darvis'' history.


    Despite knowing of this statue beforehand, being exposed to it now and as the citizens reacted to it, Legs felt a strange feeling engulf his heart.


    He could not describe this feeling, it just felt good.


    -----


    Congrattions! You have received anotherary Legendary Point!


    ----


    Even as the cheers erupted higher, President Shanks'' statue was also unveiled. The President had his right hand raised like he was swearing the oath over again, the cheers grew even higher as the citizens drowned in the excitement.


    As the excitement finally died down after the unveiling of the statues, President Shanks finally took centerstage again for his official Presidential speech.


    "Good afternoon¡­" President Shanks paused.


    He refused a written speech, in his terms, he didn''t just want to give a speech for the essence of it, he wanted to channel his passion for his.


    He didn''t ept a speech but he read a sample written by Legs for reference.


    President Shanks smiled. "Thank you to everyone gathered here and others throughout the who are listening in".


    "To the High Officials, High Official Legs, High Official Eleanor, and High Official Newton, and to all the Grade C Superhumans who made today a reality, thank you for everything, I am honored to have you all as allies".


    "Most of all, I want to thank all the citizens for your trust in my vision and ideals for the. When I campaigned, I promised to do my very best to take Darvis to the peak, I am repeating this promise".


    "The oath I have affirmed is a public promise to carry out my duties guided by no interest other than the public''s and the''s interest".


    "High Official Legs initiated the act of Democracy tobat theck of transparency and ountability in leadership, I am determined to realize his goal for the perfect leadership for our country".


    "I promise to build on his legacy and vision for our".


    "Lastly¡­" His eyes became sharp. "I promise to stay strong for the. For any threats, both internal and external, I promise to keep the safety of the public as the priority and try my best tobat any offensive approach".''


    "When the enemiese again, Darvis shall be ready". His sharp and powerful eyes gleamed.


    Darvis shall be good again". He dered.


    Darvis shall be better". He affirmed.


    "To conclude, I want to thank you all again foring today".


    With that, the President''s speech came to an end.

    Version 2 Update has been scheduled¡­


    Retrieving Version 1 information¡­


    Retrieval Complete


    Countdown till Version 2 Update: 10 Minutes


    Countdown: 9:59


    ----


    Immediately after the swearing-in ceremony a day ago that also captivated the attention of the yers, like expected, the inevitable happened.


    After a rollercoaster ride of a 1st Version in Dominator that already broke countless records among the VR gamemunity, it finally came to an end.


    To most yers, since bing exposed to the fantastical world of Dominator, their time spent in the game was even more than time spent in reality, this was how addictive Dominator grew to be among gaming fans.


    The only reason that stopped it from bing addictive as drugs was the deliberate restrictions that the game developers put in ce to prevent this.


    After a wonderful Version 1, most yers had different reactions to it.


    After such a long time since their first day meeting in-game, Blue River, Ghost Sentry, and Horny Assassin were seated together again in the in-game guild headquarters of the Blue Brook Guild.


    Version 1 changed these 3 yers a lot. Blue River remained the guild leader of the Blue Brook Guild, but Ghost Sentry and Horny Assassin changed a lot.


    After his powerful disy in the Dominator Tournament, Horny Assassin already established a ce for himself among the elite yers of the Blue Brook Guild. There were even rumors that the Sword God was thinking of recruiting him.


    Despite being knocked out in the quarterfinals, a run so deep was already crazy for a yer like him that was tipped to not go far.


    Though Horny Assassin didn''t care as much about bing a pro yer, if the invitation from the Sword God did came, he would grab it with gusto.


    ''There''d be so many experts to fight against in the pro scene!''


    ''Bing pro is definitely not boring!'' He felt excited.


    ''Hehe¡­, Manchester f*cking united!''


    ''I''ll show them the power of the Theater of Dreams!''


    As for Ghost Sentry, his growth was even more ridiculous. Unlike the much more casual Horny Assassin, he started Dominator as a yer with a dream, now he already fulfilled all his dreams.


    He not only became a starting line-up pro yer in a club as famous as Blue Autumn, he also became a famous pro yer already after his performance for his team and most especially his performance in the individual tournament.


    It was a pity that the Blue Autumn team didn''t make it to the finals of the first National Dominator team tournament, but it didn''t affect him much.


    Making it to the semifinals was already a mouthful of fame to a newbie like him, but the real cherry on top his cherry was his iconic individual tournament run.


    As the winner of the individual tournament, his name was already immortalized in Version 1. Whenever Version 1 was thought of, they would always associate it to him, this was how famous he was now.


    "Keep working hard". Blue River suddenly said.


    They both turned to look at him.


    Blue River had aplicated look on his face as he looked at them.


    "Then when I first met the both of you, I was attracted mainly because of the special NPC, I never expected to detect hidden gems like the both of you".


    "I am not as talented as you so I''m not as obsessed with improving but the both of you". Blur River sighed. "You both have a lot of potential; I really wish you don''t get distracted and actually fulfill that potential".


    "I can''t wait for the day that you both be superstars of the Blue Autumn team". His eyes became dreamy. "And from what I heard; the International tournaments shall start in the next version".


    A sheepish expression crept up his face. "You winning it for us will be a great cap to my long career as guild leader".


    "I will be remembered as the one who scouted the legends, hahaha".


    "I will be d". Blue River chuckled.


    Horny Assassin and Ghost Sentryughed.


    All of a sudden, Ghost Sentry asked a question. "Do you guys have any idea what the theme of the next version would be?"<novelnext></novelnext>


    Blue River rubbed his chin. "I''m not sure but judging from the first limited trailer, I guess it has something to do with space travel".


    "It''s kinda crazy how Dominator seems intent on introducing sci-fi elements, I already suspected it before but still it''s crazy". Horny Assassin sounded excited. "I''ve always wanted to leave my and travel through space".


    "Since I can''t do it back on Earth, perhaps experiencing it here is all the same". The othersughed to that.


    After a few more idle talk, the time finally came for them to leave.


    "Till Version 2". They waved each other their goodbyes.

    Countdown till Version 2 Update: 10¡­, 9¡­, 8¡­

    Commencing Update¡­

    All the yers disappeared out of the game.


    ¡­


    1 weekter.


    The Mercenary Online Organization was the true pioneer of technology.


    They were not as proficient as the weakest Grade E Mechanic, but with the little knowledge that they had, they were able to work with it.


    Over the years, the mercenaries hade into contact with different minerals exhibiting special qualities.


    They had alsoe into contact with Arcanite metal before but due to theircking means, they were unable to detect its real value until the battle of Hellfire Mountains and Alexander''s shocking reveal.


    Instantly after the conclusion of the battle of Hellfire Mountains, Core Protector Shanks now President Shanks led the way with them following as they made it a priority to detect the location of veins of the so-called Arcanite metal.


    Like they suspected, it was close to Hellfire Mountains, this remote mountain range was one of the few mountain ranges that surrounded the previous headquarters of the Clown Society.


    Instantly after they discovered it, Shanks left the Mercenary Online Organization in charge of mining it. Now that he finally became President, he took it a step further as hemissioned the construction of a mining base.


    President Shanks did not just want to mine this metal, he wanted scientists to study and know it''s properties, he had a hunch that it would y an indispensable role in their quest to resist theing cataclysm.


    With the amount of funding that the President pumped into this endeavor, it only took a week toplete the construction of the mining base.


    Now, mining operations were in full swing.


    Unknown to the enthusiastic workers who were working in this base, mostlyprised of Earth Elementalists and Summoners, an automatic Rifle was aimed at them as it''s user watched everything that happened through the Rifle''s lens.


    Crow scowled. "We found it first but we have no choice".


    "Right now, we don''t have the power to fight them".


    ? He turned to look at his leader. "What should we do?"


    The leader of the 6 Ninja Assassins, Buffalo had an impassive expression on his face, he soon inclined his face away from his Rifle''s lens.


    "We do nothing".


    He turned to face Crow. "Like you said, we don''t have the power to fight them so all we can do is tell the leader".


    "Ok".


    With that, the 2 elite assassins disappeared as silently as they came.

 Chapter 361 Onana, The Nak Champion

    Deep inside a forest in the Southern Continent, there was a bamboo building.


    8 warriors stood in a row inside the bamboo house, they were the 6 Ninja Assassins of the old Clown Society, Richard, and Quinn Baron. They all stood, respectfully facing the back of 2 ck-d men who sat cross-legged.


    ck Master Einstein and ck Master Din seemed to be experiencing a moment of total serenity as with their eyes closed, they breath rhythmically.


    Each breath that they took seemed to harness the power of the world.


    Din breath hot Dragon mist out of his nose while a powerful fluctuation of fire and wind revolved around the more experienced ck Master.


    A few minutester, they opened their eyes, Din spoke.


    "What?"


    "They havepleted the construction". This time, Buffalo answered.


    Din did not reply to that as he remained on the bare floor seated cross-legged, but ck Master Einstein stood up as he lit up a candle in the house.


    With his back still facing them, he spoke.


    "Give up on the Arcanite vein".


    "ording to information that Alexander revealed to me when we were still in power, there are more than 1 Arcanite vein in our".


    "Just 1 vein is enough but the additional veins rapidly increases the value of our, and is the reason for the persistent focus from the Naks".


    "Will we just give up after we discovered it first?" Quinn asked as he seemed incapable ofing to terms with the new order.


    ck Master Einstein turned to look at him. "What do you think of our current state?"


    "¡­" Quinn looked without saying a word.


    "You still think we''re in power? You think we can flex our power now?"


    ck Master Einstein smirked. "Any foolish action and every single one of us can be annihted any moment after the amount of damage that we caused".


    "We need toy low, that''s the only way that we''ll survive".


    "Also". He looked pointedly at Quinn. "We already harvested a sizeable number of Arcanite metal, this should be enough as a little tribute to Alexander the next time that we meet to regain his favor".


    "Remember, everything we''re doing now is to regain his favor".


    "He is our only hope of surviving after what happened".


    "Also". ck Master Einstein smiled for the first time. "He finally contacted me".


    "¡­!" Every eye in this bamboo house widened.


    He did not leave them hanging. "He says we should lie low".


    "If I interpret his code message correctly, someone important ising and if nothing interrupts, he''ll ry the new n of operation to us".


    "That is why it is even more important toy low".


    "Just keep on gathering information".


    "Yes, leader".


    With that, they dispersed.


    ¡­


    Giant Nak Fortress¡­


    3 medium-sizedbat carriers moved in orbit around the massive asterioid which served as the base of the Nak forces as the powerful sensors of these spaceships scoured the surrounding space for any movement.


    Today, these 3 spaceships were on surveince mission.


    Today was special than other days because this was the day that the promised Champion by the Admiral would arrive at the Nak Fleet.


    Bzzz!


    Fluctuations spread through space as the ultra-range teleportation portal flexed it''s power, the next moment, a silver teleportation portal opened.


    It opened and closed in an instant; it already dropped its recipient.


    As soon as the teleportation portal disappeared and the interference from the powerful spatial fluctuations was gone, all 3 survence spaceships rang rms as they detected the new presence.


    The rms only subsided when it was confirmed that it was an ally spaceship.


    It was a small-sized Frigate.


    The medium-sized Combat Carriers immediately gave way as the Frigate passed through them, moving straight towards the gship, the Golden Cicada.


    Once it got close enough, it stopped then a tiny spatial fluctuation was detected. An individual already left the Frigate and boarded the gigantic Battleship.


    Bzzz!<novelnext></novelnext>


    A tense atmosphere instantly descended as the oppressive aura pressed against them, General Aztog and his 4 assistants felt the pressure.


    A shocked expression appeared on their faces only due to the aura.


    ''A-A Grade B Champion?!''


    ''I thought it was a Grade C¡­''


    "I broke through recently". He spoke casually like he could easily read their thoughts.


    "Wee, Champion Onana". They snapped out of their trance and finally greeted.


    Champions in the Nak State were the most talented warriors of the Nak Navy. They didn''t have military ranks, they were just Champions, and their authority in the Navy was only below the Admirals.


    This was because every single Champion was a Super with the potential of breaking through to the Grade A realm, they were freaks.


    And this was why even General Aztog had to bow his head before him, even more now when the shocking truth came out that he already broke through.


    He finally turned around to look at them.


    The first thing that attracted the attention of the Nak warriors to him was his body as a whole, Onana was a Cyborg!


    Unlike the other Naks who all had yellow skin, Onana had ck skin. His facial skin was made of metal, tinging it with a silver color that made him look ominous.


    He was tall like any other Nak, one of his eyes glowed blue while the other red, and another drawing factor was the 3 horns that grew on his head.


    In contrast, General Aztog had only 2 horns.


    Despite being much younger than the General, this warrior was stronger and had more battle experience. He gave off a dangerous vibe.


    At this moment, he was donning a mechanical Samurai-style armor. Perhaps, having exposed his horns just to send a message to them previously, with his free left hand, he brought his pirate hat from his storage ring and donned it.


    This way, he effortlessly masked his horns.


    In onest movement, he raised his right hand and ced his Cutting-Edge Technology transformable Rifle on his shoulders. Maic energy briefly crackled around him, exposing his identity as a high-grade Mechanic Super.


    The vibe he exuded changed.


    "Champion Onana!"


    They greeted again, and this time they went on their knees.


    There was no change in his metallic face''s expression as he looked at them, then he casually asked. "I heard there''s an extremely dangerous Radioactive Giant in this Star System?"


    "Yes, Titania".


    "Have you drawn a map of the Star System?"


    "Not exactly, but we have a makeshift map".


    "Good, give it to me, I''ll be taking a trip to the Radioactive Giant". This Mechanic''s eyes gleamed as he finally showed emotion for the first time. "I''ve always wanted to harness parts of the energy stored in a wild Radioactive Giant".


    "Umm¡­, Champion Onana, what about the mission?"


    The Champion turned to look at him with a nonchnt expression on his face. "General, that is your mission".


    "All I came to do was help".


    "You are still in charge, you fail, you die".


    "You have 10 years to do this".


    He turned around. "I don''t get involved in things that don''t interest me. Until Darvis truly interests me, I won''t get the motivation to get involved to help you".


    "So, your first personal mission is to make that intrigue me".


    "As for now". His red and blue eyes gleamed.  Titania intrigues me".


    "Don''t forget this, the main reason I agreed toe here in the first ce was to have fun, everything else is secondary".


    Bzzz!


    He teleported out of the Golden Cicada.


    The next minute, the small Frigate was out of the asteroid.


    "¡­!" General Aztog and his assistants remained frozen in shock.

 Chapter 362 General Aztogs Decision

    "Don''t forget this, the main reason I agreed toe here in the first ce was to have fun, everything else is secondary".


    General Aztog remained frozen in shock even as this sentence kept on ying in his head on a loop, it simply wouldn''t go away.


    With a stunned look on his face, he looked at the direction where the Frigate disappeared to, having set course for Titania.


    His expression slowly twisted.


    ''To have fun¡­''


    ''To have fun¡­''


    ''To have fun¡­''


    The words kept on ying in his head nonstop.


    The next moment, he threw his head back and roared withughter.


    "Hahaha!"


    "Hahaha!"


    It took some time for this powerful Grade C General to calm down, and even after he stoppedughing like a maniac, his fists kept clenching and unclenching.


    He was soon drowned in his own thoughts.


    ''I was na?ve¡­, thinking once he came my job will be much easier''.


    Onana''s personality and reaction just a few minutes ago reminded him about the notorious reputation of Nak Champions. They were incredibly talented mother*ckers, but they were also extremely arrogant pricks.


    Apart from the highest ranking State Officials of the Nak State and the Admirals of the Nak Navy, they rarely ever bowed or listened to anyone.


    They were stubborn and self-conceited geniuses.


    Their incredible talent inted their egos to ridiculous heights.


    Despite their arrogance though, Nak Champions were revered by every warrior and citizen of Nak. General Aztog also had great respect for them, the only reason for him reacting like this was because this decision involved his life.


    ''A decade at maximum!''


    He could never forget it, Admiral Zhao''s verdict reverberated in his brain again and pairing it with Onana''s words, he slumped into despair.


    In his sudden despair, anger, and frustration due to the nonchnt ways of the Champion, his eyes suddenly shone inprehension. "That''s it".


    His eyes lit up; everything suddenly became much clearer.


    Originally, for the past few weeks while he waited for Champion Onana''s arrival, General Aztog didn''t think much about Darvis. All he thought of was the Admiral''s deadline, and how Champion Onana could help him.


    Perhaps, this was a wed decision on his part as was proven by Onana.


    He remembered the Admiral''s words.


    ''You have a decade to take over this''.


    ''Do not dare fail me, they must feel the wrath of a Nak Navy through a 3rd Cataclysm and for the safety of your head, I hope this is thest''.


    His eyes lit up. "They must feel the wrath of a Nak Navy¡­, that''s the hint!"


    Despite his mumblings and his sudden outburst, none of his 4 Captains dared to ask him as they acutely deduced that he was going through a moment of epiphany, they let him swim in it to gather all the information that he needed.


    General Aztog''s eyes shone brightly inprehension. ''Admiral Zhao''s tone may have been harsh and cruel when he spoke to me, but it also sounded slightly desperate and directing''.


    His eyes gleamed. ''The Admiral is not known for saying baseless words, every single one of his words has meaning''.


    ''The Ackermanns discovering a rich mineral may have likely disrupted our economy more than I thought. The Admiral''s harsh tone was just to make me give my all, he is still fully invested on fulfilling this mission''.


    ''Saying words like the 3rd Cataclysm and they must feel the wrath of a Nak Navy despite the Azure Pantheon''s influence is a hidden message''.


    The Azure Pantheon alongside the 2 other Universal Organizations were the 3 true hegemons of the Universe. With a vested control on different parts of the universe, they made the rules that governed the gcticmunity.


    General Aztog''s whole body literally glowed as he turned to face his 4 Captains. "Project the Azure Pantheon''s colonizationw again".


    One of the Captains, the Mage projected the Universalw.<novelnext></novelnext>


    [#Section 10 of the Azure Pantheon Gtic Law!]


    >When colonizing lones for their resources, do not engage in mass murder and any acts of violence that may lead to extinction of natives<


    Thew was simple but it held a lot of weight and intimidation factor.


    Due to this samew, powerful states and civilizations as powerful as the Nak State had fallen having attracted the ire of one of the hegemons of the Universe.


    This was the reason why General Aztog and his fleet spent so many centuries in their quest of taking over Darvis. Since this territory was also under the Azure Pantheon''s rule, it was a big no to go against theirws.


    This was originally the case, but Admiral Zhao''s words changed everything.


    General Aztog gave his own interpretation to the words. ''The Roronoa Star System is a backwater one that self-imploded and was already more or less lost in history, it is not even included in the gctic map''.


    ''Originally, I was looking at Darvis like any other lone but they are different. Since they are alone and isted from the rest of the world, the Azure Pantheon''s rules don''t necessarily apply to them''.


    He tapped his fingers then he remembered it again.


    ''Do not dare fail me, they must feel the wrath of a Nak Navy through a 3rd Cataclysm and for the safety of your head, I hope this is thest''.


    General Aztog made his decision. "War".


    "Huh?"


    He turned to face his Captains. "War, that was the Admiral''s subtle hint".


    "We have what it takes to level Darvis and start afresh but we held back because of the Azure Pantheon''sws. Now I understand the reason for the Admiral''s visit, his true motive was to remind us that Darvis was isted".


    "As for Onana''s arrival, it was simply a contingency n in the case that Darvis proves to be a tougher nut to crack when faced against extinction".


    "Before sending Onana, he would have surely known of his personality".


    "He knows that Onana only acts when interested yet he sent him".


    General Aztog smirked. "This fits my conclusion. Darvis proving to be a tougher nut to crack for a veteran gcticbat fleet like mine is something extremely unusual, and it would be enough to intrigue that mother*cker".


    "Once he is intrigued, like he said, he''ll interfere to help".


    "So?" One of his Captains asked.


    "So we fight".


    His eyes gleamed. "We go to war against Darvis".


    "We''re no longer being held back by the rules andws of the Azure Pantheon".


    "Get prepared, we''re wiping all life off Darvis to start afresh".


    The Captains were stunned at this drastic decision after centuries of lying low but they didn''t disobey their General, they acknowledged his orders.


    "Yes General!"


    "As you leave, bring Alexander in".


    About 2 minutester, Alexander entered the cabin inside the Golden Cicada as he went on his knees. "You sent for me".


    "Yes". General Aztog turned to look back at him.


    "I¡­"


    ¡­


    A week and few dayster, activities were detected in the Giant Nak Fortress.


    After more than a week of nning, one of the famed Battleships of General Aztog''s fleet, the Fiery Gorgonion departed the asteroid while being apanied by a Combat Carrier and a Logistic Spaceship.


    General Aztog sent his first probing force.

 Chapter 363 Growth And Development

    2 weeks after the swearing-in ceremony¡­


    Geralt had a humble look on his face as he stood before the President.


    Alongside the Vice President at the high seats, there was High Official Legs, High Official Newton, and High Official Eleanor. While below were other distinguished individuals in Darvis who attended this special asion.


    After 2 weeks since the swearing-in ceremony, the President finally decided on the next High Official of Darvis who would take his Vice''s position.


    After epting the physical mantle of authority as a High Official from the president which was a mini Axe made using the newly mined Arcanite, Geralt turned to face the spectators as he raised his right hand and swore.


    "I, Geralt Silvertongue, do swear in the name of God and all Supers that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of our beloved as byw established and that I will discharge the duty upon which I am about to enter".


    "I will do my outmost best to defend the interests of the".


    "¡­" Legs'' lips twitched. "Such tant giarism".


    "He almost used the same words as the Vice President".


    Only a few people heard this but theyughed nheless.


    With that, Geralt became the new 4th High Official of Darvis.


    Since bing the President, it seemed that President Shanks was determined to never rest. In his words, no one knew when the Nak f*ckers would suddenly attack, this was the time of preparation and development.


    While preparing for the uing cataclysm, they needed to implement measures for the to grow and develop rapidly to meet the benchmark.


    ording to him, without meeting a certain benchmark, Darvis had no chances of resisting the cataclysm and was why he worked so hard.


    Geralt''s appointment was not done inside the Presidential Vi which was called the Super Pce, instead it was done inside the new headquarters of the Core Protector Alliance which waspleted just a few days ago.


    Though they only had a few weeks to thoroughly study it yet, the more they studied it, the more the scientists knew the incredible properties of Arcanite.


    This prompted President Shanks to elerate the development of the Core Protection headquarters, and today immediately after Geralt''s appointment, the 2nd star of the day came to the stage in the form of the new Daemon.


    After the battle of Hellfire Mountains, the Necromancy King was no longer that vicious skeleton. Having been forced to shed his body during the war, in his quest to restore his body, he decided to go for a more conventional one.


    Shedding his Lich body broke the previous limits on his soul as a Necromancer. After a month, Daemon gained a new clean human body.


    Due to his contributions in the war, and everything else that followed, he earned the President''s favor, Daemon stood before the President.


    President Shanks shook his hands and looked into his eyes. "Daemon, you taught me that our situations and forms does not determine our hearts".


    "You are a Necromancer but you have a good heart".


    "You are extremely knowledgeable about our and our resources".


    "Now, I want you to use your bountiful knowledge to serve the".


    "Today, I appoint you as the new Core Protector of the Core Protection Alliance".


    Cheers and apuse erupted after the President appointed him.


    Core Protector Daemon upied the stage a bit after his appointment as he gave a brief speech about hismitment to the President''s cause. After a brief thank you and others, he finally left the stage.


    Geralt and Daemon''s appointment heralded the rapid growth that followed in Darvis. Under President Shank''s leadership, the thrived.


    With Grade C powerhouses now leading the, more emphasis was put on military might and individual strength.


    In just about a month since the President''s swearing-in, under President Shanks'' direction, more supers were produced in the than were produced in the past 2 yearsbined.


    Even as new homes were built for all those who lost their homes in the war, and as those who lost loved ones werepensated, a weekter after Core Protector Daemon''s appointment and another big event took ce.


    After taking their time, the Landmark Construction Company finallypleted High Official Newton''s project.


    Again, President Shanks was present as the Chemist Haven was opened.


    This chemist organization which became a branch to his Elementalist Academy became the anchor for Newton''s redemption.


    After being selfish for so many centuries and taking so much from the, he finally wanted to pay back what he gained and give back to the.


    On the first day alone, more than 2000 applicants were admitted into the haven for chemists where they could learn Newton''s techniques and specialties.


    This big event was still not the capping event of this period of explosive growth, the event that capped it all was the opening of the Nightmare Army, Legs'' organization that had been on the work for months.<novelnext></novelnext>


    ¡­


    "What do you think of the organization?" Legs asked curiously as he looked at the mirror, admiring his mature red attire.


    "It will be the biggest in Darvis". Heimdall dered seriously.


    "It will be powerful". King Nagakin chipped in.


    "I don''t know by how much, but it will be powerful".


    Legs turned to look at the Frost Giant. "That answer is too vague".


    The Frost Giant remained serious though. "I decided to follow you because I recognize your potential. Under your leadership, the Nightmare Army will grow rapidly, I am sure of it".


    "My reason for saying just powerful is because our growth has no cap".


    Heimdall snorted. "Just get on with it and say what you want".


    "Why the need to use so many words to make it seem like you''re smart?"


    King Nagakin conveniently ignored the Shadow Elementalist without answering. Instead, he continued speaking on the potential of the organization.


    Months ago, King Nagakin and Heimdall made their decision to join Legs'' faction. While the headquarters of the Nightmare Army was being built, alongside Christensen, they were in charge of supervising the developments.


    Now, they were about to reap the fruits of theirbor.


    "Guguwa¡­!" A familiar cute voice reverberated.


    Click!


    de opened the door and entered, the Titan baby was originally ying with a metallic toy but he paused as soon as he entered this room and saw the 3 familiar faces, he jumped in de''s hand in excitement the next moment.


    "Gu¡­, dada!"


    "Uncle!"


    Uranus eximed excitedly as he tried to squirm away from de''s hands.


    de frowned. "You''re bing stubborn these days, stay in one ce!"


    He forcefully held the Titan baby down; this came with repercussions though.


    "Bu¡­" Uranus sniffed as the atmosphere instantly turned tense.


    "Wahhh¡­.!!!" He wailed.


    Bam!


    Uranus barely cried when Heimdall shadow-teleported behind de,nding a kick at his back before snatching the baby away.


    "Ouch!" de rubbed his back grievingly.


    Heimdall ignored him. "That''s my baby Uranus, now say Uncle!"


    "Uncle!" Uranus cheered as he wiped his tears.


    He turned to look at de and giggled, the Pugilist snorted.


    As the old Shadow Elementalist yed with the baby Titan, de went up to meet Legs. "Most of the guests are already in ce, including Mr. President".


    "We need to go".


    "Ok, just a minute".


    Exactly a minuteter, they all left the room outside.

    [Remark: After years of thriving as a reincarnator, you finally made it to the top of a. Your organization is the strongest in Darvis.]


    ----


    Dressed in identical military-style red attire, Legs took the lead as he led the other Grade C Superhumans of the Nightmare Army through the carpet.


    The atmosphere felt solemn as they walked through the carpet that led through the middle of the hall to its center.


    The official opening ceremony of Legs'' army took ce inside the Nightmare Army''s new headquarters.


    The headquarters was gigantic, housing 3 main mansions which served as the main base of operation of the 3 different divisions of the army.


    Originally, Legs opted for only 2 divisions. The main Nightmare Army base and the base that he dedicated to the Pugilist Division.


    It was after speaking to Heimdall that he changed his mind. In the uing Cataclysm, there was a high chance that they were the underdogs. This was more than enough reason for them to try making use of any tricks in their books.


    Assassination may seem dirty to some honorable warriors but it was undoubtedly one of the most effective tricks in the book, and Heimdall was a master at it. He was convinced to make an assassination division separate.


    With a master of the dark arts like Heimdall taking helm over this division, there was no doubt that master assassins would be trained in a few years.


    Apart from the 3 main mansions, there were other smaller buildings in the massive acre ofnd where different activities took ce to keep the army running.


    Today, the opening ceremony was being held in the main army mansion''srge hall. The gigantic hall was mostly already filled with the privileged attendants today, and the high table was filled with familiar faces.


    As Legs and his subordinates walked in, looking towards the high table, he felt that this was a reunion of war veterans, these were all his warrades.


    From President Shanks, to Core Protector Daemon, to High Official Geralt, and even Emak, every Grade C survivor from the war was present.


    President Shanks was already standing on the podium waiting for them.


    A few secondster, they were all standing before the President, they saluted to pay their respect before waiting for him to speak.


    President Shanks faced the attendants with an energetic look on his face.


    "Today is a special day in the history of our". The President spoke. "Today, the most power-stacked organization in our historyes to existence".


    "After having a talk with the High Officials, we all came to the conclusion that Legs is a rare warrior that has what it takes to lead an organization of this magnitude after everything that he already achieved".


    "During the prolonged war against the Clown Society, through his ingenuity, he was able to get information to provide us with that helped a lot in the war".


    "Without his information, we would have never been able to determine the exact location of the Clown Society''s headquarters on time".


    "Not just that, during the real war, he also participated".


    "During the battle of Hellfire Mountains, he was the stand-out warrior".


    "Singlehandedly, he held us by the hand and led us out of the jaws of defeat, wrestling and snatching victory away from the grasp of our enemies".


    "Post the war, he was the one to bring the concept of Democracy which has yed an undeniable role in the current stability of the".


    "Without a doubt, he has the best interests of our at heart".


    President Shanks turned his head back to look at Legs. "In light of his contributions, Legs is recognized as a legend of our".


    "And today, as a reward for all his contributions to the, I officially acknowledge the existence of the Nightmare Army under his leadership".


    President Shanks looked into his eyes. "Like you''ve done before, use the army to lead us right and defeat the enemies".


    Legs returned his gaze and he looked serious. "I will".


    With that, the ceremony came to an end, simply that. There was no time for moreplicated procedures, with that, the Nightmare Army became official.


    Even as celebrations and refreshment followed, Legs left the hall.


    He took a brief tour around the headquarters of his organization, admiring the majesty and might in disy. ''I sure havee a long way since the day that I reincarnated into this world that I co-created''.


    ''The God of Games never contacted me again but I feel he is out there somewhere. Is he really a god or is he just a high-grade Super?''<novelnext></novelnext>


    Despite it almost being 4 years already, his curiosity still burned hot.


    ''Also, Maximus, how can I make more contact with him?''


    ''In almost 4 years, I sure have achieved a lot, I just wonder if I havee any closer to knowing the truth about the mystery of my reincarnation''.


    Amid his inner monologue, he soon arrived inside his office in the army.


    Inside was painted grey and was decorated with drawings of different scenes from the Battle of Hellfire Mountains, highlighting his military achievements. Overall, the office exuded a thick military vibe.


    As soon as he entered his office, Legs felt a sense of serenity on his mind as he took a greedy breath of air before sitting down.


    As soon as he sat down, he looked at the small metal Axe on his hand.


    His virtual interface shimmered into existence on his willing.


    -----


    [Arcanite Axe- High Official Mantle!]


    [Arcanite Metal properties:]


    >Durability: More than a hundred times more durable than normal metal when cleaned of all impurities<


    >Light Weight: Even when tons of Arcanite Metal is used to create a mechanic suit, it barely increases the base weight due to it''s light nature<


    >Mechanic Resonance: Massively increases the resonance power and ability of high-grade mechanics<


    >???<


    >???<


    >???<


    >???<


    ----


    Of the 7 main properties of Arcanite metal, he was only able to ess the first 3 due to his current level and grade. Of the 3 that he was able to ess though, the 3rd one told him the reason why this metal was valued so much.


    Despite this not being his first time of seeing it, he still felt amazed.


    ''I never expected a metal that could increase resonance strength to hide in a backwater like Darvis''.


    Resonance strength was a more famous gtic term for Mechanic energy the same way there was Summoner energy and others. After building their powerful machines, Mechanics could resonate with them through their energy.


    When resonating with a powerful Super, it was not unheard of for a weapon''s base power to climb levels and increase in power by as much as 20¡Á!


    This was the power of Mechanics.


    To Mechanics, any metal that could increase their resonance strength was a beauty, it exined the Nak''s crazy interest and valuation of Arcanite metal.


    ''It''s a pity there are no Mechanics in Darvis''. Legs sighed.


    Still sitting down, Legs kept the Arcanite Axe and opened a familiar bridge.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Bzzz!


    The next moment, Predator, Bran, and Ak appeared before him. Warp Prime was already inside the office since, the mischievous Warpsnare shapeshifted, changing her body color to match those of the office.


    The thing was that this time, the beasts didn''t appear from the beast ne alone, they appeared with a different vibe exuding from them.


    Predator''s own was the most obvious, a red aura subtly covered the body of the Annihtion Nightmare Beast, exposing the other presence in his body.


    Legs grinned at seeing them. ''Finally, I''ve met the requirements as a proper Grade C Summoner''.


    A week ago, he finally got all 4 of his beasts theirpanion Spirit Beasts.


    After a journey deep into the Spirit Realm, he was able to subdue the beast Spiritpanions for his beasts. Predator got a Soul Reaper Beast, a spirit beast that looked like a wolf but specialized in dealing soul and spirit damage.


    Ak got a Spirit Eagle. This support type Spirit Beast not only augmented Ak''s powers and his leadership abilities, it also gave him an extra eye from the skies, sessfully curbing one of his weaknesses.


    As for Bran, the Void Raven got a Spirit Golden Cicada, This support type Spirit Beast did not only give him a ridiculous amount of luck and a luck glow, it also gave Bran faster flight powers and speed when fused with him.


    As for Warp Prime, the Warpsnare got a rare Shapeshifting Soul Butterfly.


    The Soul Butterfly had 3 forms, with 2 support forms, one concerned with weakening his enemies while the other concerned with augmenting his powers in battle while thest one was a battle maniac intent in causing destruction.


    Seated on his chair in his office, Legs had a satisfied look on his face as he observed his beasts and their Spirit Beastpanions but something happened.


    BOOM!


    Legs first heard it as it roughly broke into the''s gravity.


    "What?!" Legs was rmed.


    BOOM!


    When another mighty sound reverberated, it was against the ground as the hot load of the Battleship-grade cannon caused an instant earthquake on the, killing a lot of people on the spot.


    Legs was horrified. "A Spaceship?!"


    "So fast?!"

 Chapter 365 Space Invasion! [1]

    Literally all the Grade C powerhouses stayed behind to merry.


    The establishment of the Nightmare Army was another representative of the changing era. During King Tom''s reign, he would have never allowed the establishment of an organization housing 6 Grade C Superhumans.


    He would have seen it as a threat to his rule and opposed it vehemently.


    President Shanks approving this meant 2 things. First, it was his acknowledgement that Legs was now the strongest individual in Darvis.


    Legs may not be the strongest in terms of raw ss power but after his performance in the Battle of Hellfire Mountains, his realbat power was up to wild guesses.


    No one knew if he could enter that god state again, no one truly knew how powerful he was and this shrouded him in a veil of mystery.


    And besides, apart from that, his influence in the was now unmatched, testament of the powerful Superhumans that were under him.


    Having personally groomed monsters like de and Christensen, and subsequently assimted old monsters like Heimdall and King Nagakin, his overall influence in the was now to the point of being ridiculous.


    And second, it meant that President Shanks hadplete trust in Legs.


    It was his confidence that Legs would not abuse this power to harm the that made him approve it. Tomemorate this record-breaking day, President Shanks stayed with the other Grade C powerhouses to merry.


    As they drank and told war stories, Daemon suddenly froze.


    Literally all of them noticed the unusual reaction.


    "What happened?" President Shanks asked.


    Daemon didn''t even have the time to reply, all he could do was to look up.


    BOOM!


    Daemon shot up from his chair. "It''s an invasion!"


    ¡­


    In the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance¡­


    Beep!


    The sudden change in frequency of the radar detector did not alert the engineer the first time.


    Beep!


    When the alien machine beeped again, he was finally jolted to reality.


    Scrambling awake from his nap, the young engineer tapped his older and much more experienced superior who was also taking a nap. As soon as the middle-aged engineer woke up, the glowing red lights of the alien machine rmed him.


    "Get away!" He pushed the younger engineer away and went closer.


    Without professional mechanic knowledge, it was hard for these engineers to grasp some of the moreplicated concepts about radar technology and their other sensors but they did with what they had.


    It took some time but this experienced engineer in Darvis terms was finally able to interpret the frequencies, his eyes widened in shock and rm.


    "This frequency?!"


    "A metal hull this thick to induce a frequency with such arge wavelength, and this closeness". He looked up. "It''s a Battleship".


    The young engineer almost fainted. "A Battleship?!"


    The middle-aged engineer''s face turned grave. "From the textbooks provided by High Official Legs a month ago, if I''m not wrong, it''s a Capital Spaceship, likely a Battle Cruiser".


    "Inform the Core Protector!"


    "Yes sir".


    Almost at the same time that the middle-aged engineer gave this order to his junior counterpart, a signal materialized to life inside this isted chambers.


    Bzzz!


    A virtual projection flickered to life; a yellow alien face came to life.


    "Attention, engineers".


    "This is Captain Miyamoto Chan of the Nak Navy, Captain and Commander of Battle Cruiser #0129, the Fiery Gorgonion".


    "A Combat Carrier of highly trained supers is on it''s way to your location".


    "If you do not surrender to them immediately, I will unleash the entire payload of advanced long-range torpedoes currently locked onto your location. Also, expect the full wrath of a modern Cutting-Edge Battle Cruiser".


    "You have 3 minutes to confirm your surrender".


    "Refusal toply will result in your annihtion".


    "If you tempt me, you will die".<novelnext></novelnext>


    "¡­!" The middle-aged engineer felt all his blood rush to his head.


    "Initiate Code Red!" He literally screamed at the top of his voice.


    "Yes sir".


    Even as they scrambled to send a message through to the Core Protector while initiating response Code Red across the whole headquarters, it was already toote as the Battle Cruiser finally entered the''s atmosphere.


    BOOM!


    The Battle Cruiser barging into the''s atmosphere and suddenly being subjected to Darvis'' gravity induced a sonic boom.


    A shield generator flickered to life an instantter, shielding the Battle Cruiser from the crushing force of the''s gravity as it stabilized.


    The Battle Cruiser was not alone, instantly after it prated the atmosphere of the, 2 other Spaceships followed. Though they didn''t induce as muchmotion, the Combat Carrier and the Logistic ship still made their entry.


    They entered the atmosphere directly above the Hellfire Mountains.


    Instantly after appearing, their powerful thrusters didn''t even have to work anymore, Darvis'' powerful gravity worked on them as it dragged their gigantic metallic bodies down.


    Like the alien Captain said, the Combat Carrier took the lead below ahead the other 2 Spaceships as it elerated down faster.


    To the protectors in the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance, 3 enormous ck objects directly appeared above them as they descended rapidly.


    In just a few seconds, they crossed thousands of kilometers and entered shooting range. By now, the activities of the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance already confirmed that they had no intentions of surrendering.


    Inside the Battle Cruiser''smand chair, the captain ordered.


    "Attack!"


    The Battle Cruiser and Logistic Ship slowed down, hovering in the atmosphere even as the Combat Carrier kept on descending.


    This was when power trumped through the frame of the gigantic Battle Cruiser. Channeling power from its rich power reactor, power flooded the main turrets as they got prepared to unleash their payloads but they were not the first attack. Like promised, torpedoes came first.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The advanced torpedoes were not the only disaster, they didn''t waste time, the Battle Cruiser''s main turrets unleashed their load as for a brief moment, the skies above the Core Protection Alliance became a picture of red fire.


    The power apanying the destructive loads was mighty but having initiated code red, the bulk of the headquarters already went underground as only a thick metallic hull and shield was exposed to this bombardment.


    Compared to before, after President Shanks'' investment, the defense of the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance already vastly improved.


    This was the new Core Protection Alliance.


    The thick metallic hull withstood the damage.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Power was burned from the shields as they absolved the incredible amount of damage, meters of thick armor ting across the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance was chipped through after bypassing the shields.


    Despite the incredible damage, the headquarters held.


    "Attack!" The acting Core Protector yelled at the top of his voice.


    Instantly after, attacks from Elementalists were shot into the air, forming a dense of danger towards the closest massive Combat Carrier.


    The attacks were aplenty but the shield of the Combat Carrier withstood the damage. Not just that, following the orders of their Captain, as soon as it came within range, warriors started jumping out of thebat carrier.


    Supers armed with different weapons and gadgets jumped out.


    Before they could hit the ground, from the Combat Carrier, a huge box was thrown out. Shortly after being thrown out, it exploded as space turned thick.


    Bzzz!


    "Space-time stabilizers!" The humans recognized them.


    Thud! Thud!


    This was when the foot warriors of the Nak Navy finally reached ground.


    "Attack!"


    They did not hesitate.


    They unleashed disaster unto the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance.

 Chapter 366 Space Invasion! [2]

    Today, the supers of Darvis saw aliens fight for the first time.


    Unlike them, the supers that jumped out of the Combat Carrier were much more organized, trained, and were much better equipped with gadgets.


    As soon as the alien supers jumped out of their Combat Carrier in the hundreds, Superhumans inside the Core Protection Alliance charged out to confront them but this was when the reality in disparity showed.


    Unlike supers in Darvis, Nak warriors had ess to all 6 main sses.


    Surprisingly, the Pugilists did not lead their charge. The battle robots designed by the Battle Mechanics were the ones who led the charge.


    Wielding different weapons ranging from long-ranged to short-range mechanical weapons, these metal boxes of destruction did not hold back.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Their prative attacks hit hard, bracing the Superhumans for what was toe next and it did not take long before it came.


    While the robots led the charge, the Summoners acted next.


    Having worked together to summon their contracted beast and beast armies at the same time, they ordered them to circle to the nks where they intended to attack their opponent from to rattle their formation and battle cohesion.


    While the Superhumans tried to cope with this approach, the alien Pugilists finally charged in. Driven and pumped, they charged ahead without much thinking.


    Their powerful Pugilist Energy and iron fists did the rest.


    Boom! Boom!


    Their explosive momentum disrupted and tore the formation of the Superhumans open. Their charge was helped by the fact that the Psychics also acted at this moment as they unleashed targeted Psychic sts.


    This was the Superhumans'' first-time facing Psychic attacks, this was an inconvenience that none of them were used to nor prepared for.


    Hiding at the very back of the formation of Nak Warriors, these psyche masters controlled their huge mental power to unleash mental attacks.


    Disrupting the opponent''s mental activity increased the killing efficiency of the Pugilists. They almost started cutting through their opponents like a hot knife through butter, the defenders of the Core Protection Alliance were stunned.


    Despite the one-sidedness already, this was still not all.


    Alongside the Psychics at the back, the Mages and Elementalists settled down and focused on unleashing focused AOE attacks on the enemy ranks.


    The effects of their attacks were deadly.


    The Mechanics may have sent their robots and other mechanical creations forward as the vanguard, but they themselves could still contribute.


    Also, behind the Pugilists, they aimed their Sniper rifles and other advanced technology weapons at the enemies, aimed and pulled the trigger.


    The sight of over a hundred Mechanics resonating with their different weapons, creating a golden corona around them formed a visual spectacle of beauty that the Superhumans could not admire apanied with destruction.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    This lineup andbination of superspletely overwhelmed any resistance that the defenders of the Core Protection Alliance were able to put up. Not only that, the threat of the Battle Cruiser remained existent.


    Each shot from even its secondary armaments wreaked havoc across the surface of the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance.


    The invasion started just a few minutes ago but the casualties among the humans was already in the hundreds. The only reason why the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance didn''t fall yet was because it was not their priority.


    Under the Battle Cruiser''s long-ranged protection and as theirnd troops kept the humans busy, the rtively light-armored Logistic Ship finally started descending into the ruin of Hellfire Mountains opposite the human headquarters.


    The Battle Cruiser protected it until she settled down on the.


    Instantly, workers rushed out of the Spaceship as they spread into the surroundings while being apanied by huge machines. On the spot, the workers of the Logistic Spaceship started building a Nak base on the.


    The defenders of the Core Protection Alliance saw it, they tried to intervene but the suppression from the powerful Battle Cruiser kept them tame.


    The headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance was in danger.


    ¡­


    "Space-time stabilizers has isted us!"


    Back in the headquarters of the Nightmare Army, a solemn and grave atmosphere was in the air as the truth sank into the heads of the powerful Grade C Superhumans who attended this asion.


    "It really is an invasion". President Shanks'' face was grave.


    He tried to tear the fabric of space open again but it remained tightly held together. The quality of Space-time stabilizers that was utilized by the invaders was beyond anything that they had encountered before, it was sturdy.


    "I can''t stay". Daemon suddenly dered again.


    "I need to help my warriors or they will be annihted".


    "Can you brute-force your way through the effects of the Space-time stabilizers?" Legs asked with a serious look on his face.


    "No, but I can bypass it".


    "I''ll meet you all there, I need your help".


    Core Protector Daemon no longer hesitated.


    "Special Necromancy Ability: Soul Coordinates".


    "Special Necromancy Ability: Soul Merge".


    "Special Necromancy Ability: Soul Travel".


    Instantly after activating these 3 abilities, Daemon''s soul power exploded. His body was consumed by familiar green mes as he soon turned into an ethereal yellow soul. Instantly after the transformation, he was sucked away.


    Whoosh!


    His soul disappeared from this battlefield.


    Core Protector Daemon was gone.


    None of the other Grade C Superhumans spoke anymore, they already knew what they needed to do. de made the first move.


    "Special Talent: Speed!"


    "Special Pugilist Ability: Speed Limit!"


    "Special Pugilist Ability: Point-Break Speed!"


    Boom!<novelnext></novelnext>


    de erupted with speed and broke the sound barrier instantly!


    In just a fraction of a second, he was gone.


    President Shanks was about to call his beasts but Legs stopped him. "Stand down, you are the President". He looked into his eyes.


    "But¡­"


    Legs did not let him speak. "If anything happens to you, the will be thrown into chaos. We need you safe to lead the, especially at a sensitive time like this when an invasion is ongoing".


    "Christensen, Nagakin, protect the President".


    "Yes boss".


    "Yes master".


    Legs no longer hesitated.

    Legs turned into a Wolf with human traits and disappeared like a phantom.


    Whoosh!


    The other Grade C Superhumans divided themselves. High Official Newton and High Official Eleanor used their different means to rush away with speed, while Geralt and the others stayed behind to protect the President.


    President Shanks also gave orders at this moment. "Make sure every Shelter around the environs of the Hellfire Mountains is evacuated".


    "We can''t let innocents die meaninglessly due to this invasion".


    "On it, Mr. President".


    Geralt turned into a shadow and left to fulfill the President''s orders.


    From a moment of merry and jubtion just a few minutes ago, in a sudden twist of fate, Darvis was now embroiled in anothermotion, this time one that was caused by a Space Invasion.


    ¡­


    Whoosh!


    Daemon''s soul arrived silently like it was just a blowing wind.


    This Core Protector arrived to see hundreds of his subordinates already dead. After suffering disastrous losses during the first few minutes, the acting Core Protector gave new orders for them to focus on the defensive.


    Seeing the blood that dyed everywhere, Daemon felt incensed.


    His rage made his body materialize again as his soul easily inhabited it back, he finally gave orders. "Focus on defending and wait for reinforcements".


    After giving the order, he looked around him, at all the yellow aliens with horns, then he snorted in annoyance.


    "Special Necromancy Ability: Undead Army Teleportation!"


    "Special Necromancy Ability: Undead Spirits Summoning!"


    "Screech¡­!!!"


    The shrieks of dead souls in the underworld reverberated as they were summoned. Their loud shrieks dealt mental damages to the aliens.


    Instantly after the teleportation portal filled with sinister energy opened, all the alien supers retreated and defended as one but they could not stop itpletely as they were swarmed by an army of skeletons and undead spirits.


    For the first time, alien lives started being taken.


    Just a second after Core Protector Daemon made this move and he felt a gaze fall on him from above. This Necromancer raised his head and with a defiant look on his face red upwards, straight at the Battle Cruiser.


    He could feel the powerful energy signature that was focused on him.


    He smirked. "Face me like a man".


    Bzzz!


    He barely spoke when he arrived.


    Donning a long ck robe withplicated magic circuits drawn all across it, he looked like a wizard. His long Mage hat made him look ridiculous, amplified even more by the 2 horns that grew on his forehead.


    His looks took nothing from his power though, this was a Grade C Mage!


    Daemon could feel the energy of a different quality that he had never experienced before, he smirked in curiosity. "Show me your worth".


    This Mage looked him down. "I am Captain Miyamoto Chan of the Nak Navy".


    "Surrender!"


    His eyes and voice vibrated with power.


    "In your dreams!" Daemon shot back with venom.


    BOOM!


    They shed.


    *****


    https://discord.gg/4kauKusRZU

 Chapter 367 Space Invasion! [3]

    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Magic and Necromancy power shed powerfully in the air.


    For the first time in his long life, Core Protector Daemon received the opportunity of fighting head-on against a Mage, a high-grade Super of an entirely different ss that he had never seen nor heard of before.


    "So, the power of magic is real".


    "It is an honor fighting against you but¡­, you must die!"


    Core Protector Daemon called up all his experience and powers as an old monster and Necromancy but yet, he could not bypass the defenses of the powerful alien Mage. This Nak Captain effortlessly fended off his attacks.


    The alien Mage''s long ck robes despite looking light was actually sturdier than the strongest armor. It defended most of the attacks.


    The most infuriating part of it all was that the powerful Mage didn''t seem to have the intention of finishing him off, it was like he was stalling for time.


    Daemon also noticed the same thing with the Alien Battleship. Having noticed the amount of destruction that it outputted with it''s first attack from afar previously, he was positive that the Battleship could hit harder than now.


    For some reason, the Battleship was deliberately holding back its power.


    After the first attack through its main turrets, the Battle Cruiser only now attacked through its secondary turrets and armaments.


    Another factor was that it had never used its hard-hitting cannons nor it''s weapons of mass destruction like its antimatter bomb warheads and psionic missiles. Only the supers from the Combat Carrier really fought with their all.


    And only the workers of the Logistic Ship worked with all their efforts.


    Core Protector Daemon observed. "What are they up to?"


    He looked at the Logistic Ship that was assisting the workers, helping them to terraform the surroundings, slowly turning it into a defensible war fortress.


    He frowned. "Do they n to build a base of operations here?"


    Despite the many questions in his mind, he could only shelve them since he didn''t seem to have the power to overwhelm the alien. Thissted for only a short while though, after taking his time, the next reinforcement finally arrived.


    Whoosh!


    Having fused with Ak, Legs'' speed at this moment was godly.


    From afar, as soon as he came within range while still running, he equipped his Positron Rifle from his storage ring and aimed.


    -----


    Passive Ability has been triggered: Marksman


    ¡­


    You have activated Weapon Ability: Bolvos Rage


    ----


    Legs pulled the trigger.


    Boom!


    A massive white beam was unleashed from the muzzle of the gigantic Rifle. Even before the trigger was pulled, the Mage''s damage intuition already warned him, at thest moment, he casted a spell.


    "Intermediate Spell: Bestia Transformatio!"


    Instantly after casting the spell, the alien Mage shrunk, transforming into a flying rat, effectively dodging the range of the powerful beam in the process.


    Daemon also dodged the attack by the skin of his teeth.


    Before Daemon could recover though, the Mage recovered first.


    "Advanced Spell: Sanguinis Obliterationis!"


    Core Protector Daemon clutched his abdomen as he coughed blood.


    He looked with shock on his face. "What type of Super ability is this?"


    "Advanced Spell: Ignis Defensionis!"


    This time, the alien Mage didn''t attack, he defended himself as fire sprouted out of nowhere, forming a defensive perimeter around him but this could not stop thetest neer.


    "Special Pugilist Ability: Fist of Obliteration!"


    BOOM!


    de''s fist collided against the fiery defense but the fire flickered, it could not hold it''s ground, it shattered into ashes, de''s raw power prevailed.


    "Advanced Spell: Inch Corruptm!"


    At thest moment before de''s fist could hit, the Mage teleported. Less than a millisecondter, he arrived behind de, about to counterattack.


    He underestimated the power of the young Pugilist though.


    de read his opponent''s intentions and he was not just fast enough to intercept, he had more than enough battle experience to outwit him.


    "Special Pugilist Ability: One-Inch Punch!"


    At point nk range, de turned his body at an impossible angle and speed and unleashed a one-inch punch at him.


    BAM!


    Captain Miyamoto Chan received the first attack that hit him squarely, the powerful punch hit him directly on his abdomen.


    "Ugh¡­!"


    The Mage coughed blood for the first time, he was shocked.


    "How?"


    de was not in the mood of answering him though, his fists moved at the speed of lightning as he unleashed a barrage of attacks at him.<novelnext></novelnext>


    This was when Eleanor, Newton, and Heimdall finally arrived.


    Legs called more power at this moment.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    "ROAR¡­!"


    Predator announced his presence as he charged out of the beast ne alongside his Spirit Beastpanion, Tata the Soul Reaper.


    "Screech¡­!"


    The wolf-like Soul Reaper shrieked as it unleashed a soul attack. As soon as it shrieked, a dangerous green corona of soul energy spread from it''s mouth.


    With Tata making his move already, Predator pounced forward even as the others all attacked the Mage.


    This time, he was truly cornered but the alien Captain showed no panic.


    His eyes squinted in seriousness as all the attacks flew towards him, then with a flick of his right hand, he finally brought out his magic staff.


    Under his prompt and immacte control, magic power gathered and fluctuated all around him as he started chanting a spell that was longer and moreplicated than all the previous ones.


    "Supreme Spell: Magia Manoeuver; Faciae!"


    This Mage instantly became as weightless as a leaf and as elusive as a grain of sand in a beach, he weaved through all the attacks like a drop of water in an ocean, he almost seemed to merge with the wind itself.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    He dodged the attacks from all the Grade C Superhumans attacking him, horrifying them by hispetence. But this could notst for long, everyone of his human opponents were elites of the elites and he was soon hit.


    The first hit soon heralded the 2nd and then the 3rd and subsequently the 4th. His magic robe may be absolving most of the attacks but others went through.


    Soloing them was all a calcted risk in his strategy by the alien that umted up to now.


    ''Now!'' He whispered after receiving another attack.


    The Battle Cruiser levitating in the air churned as it tapped into the bottomless reserves of its power reactor, it''s main canon was brought to rear its head for the first time as it aimed at the humans.


    All of them felt the danger but it happened instantaneously.


    It gave them no time to react.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    For a brief moment, it was like a tornado arrived. And after the tornado, it felt like a tsunami followed which was capped with the emergence of an earthquake that rattled this battlefield.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    -----


    [CRITICAL HIT!]


    [Warning! You have been by a Battleship-grade Main Cannon!]


    [40% of your Health Points have been obliterated!]


    [You have been inflicted with the Heavily bleeding status!]


    >-1% Health Points every second for 10 seconds<


    ----


    Legs arguably had the most health points among the battling Superhumans, if even him lost 40% of his health points from just one power disy by the Battle Cruiser, the others suffered even more damage.


    "¡­!" A brief moment of stunned silence descended on the battlefield.


    Levitating in the air, the alien Captain already retreated some distance away from them and at this moment was levitating on top thepleted war fortress.


    In just a few minutes, with the assistance of a Logistic Ship builtpletely towards logistic activities, they managed to erect a sturdy war fortress that could not be easily breached by the humans in a short time.


    This was the power of specialized Spaceships.


    Legs finally understood why this Mage stalled for time previously. ''He stalled for time so this base war fortress could bepleted''.


    ''This was his n all along''. His eyes narrowed.


    ''And reserving so much umted power in the power reactor to unleash the main canon attack so suddenly, he wants to leave a strong impression on us''.


    ''He wants to intimidate us''.


    Legs observed around him. ''His n seemed to have worked''.


    His Grade Cpanions were no longer as enthusiastic to dive into another attack run after suffering that horrifying damage from the Battle Cruiser.


    Legs shook his head inwardly. ''A game well yed''.


    He red at the Mage. ''I understand their n now''.


    He could see troubling times ahead.


    As for now, this sudden invasion and battle ended in a stalemate.

 Chapter 368 [Bonus ]A War Of Supers And Battleships

    6 Grade C Superhumans hovered in the air silently.


    At this moment, it was like a pause switch was suddenly hit as it called an end to all the sh and skirmishes in this massive battlefield.


    Despite the bombardment and targeted attacks from the enemy troops that they were unfamiliar with, apanied by Daemon''s army of undead skeletons and undead spirits, the protectors of the core stood their ground.


    Hundreds of them may have died, but the survivors never lost heart.


    After so long of fighting, it all suddenly stopped.


    The reason why their battle against the alien warriors suddenly stopped was the attack from the Battle Cruiser. That attack showed the true hegemon on this battlefield, it did not only humble the Grade C Superhumans, it also shocked them.


    All 6 Grade C Superhumans remained silent, they had witnessed the might of the Battle Cruiser from afar. They knew it was powerful but not to this extent.


    HUM!


    The constant humming sound vibrating from the active Battle Cruiser in the air reminded all 6 of them about the damage that they just received, they stayed still as they red at the enemy Grade C warrior.


    Captain Miyamoto Chan stared back at them.


    "Mission aplished". Hemunicated to his warriors.


    "Consolidate".


    Instantly after this warrior captain said this, the Combat Carrier and the gigantic Battle Cruiser finally moved again. Despite having fought against it in battle already, the sight of these gigantic war machines was still intimidating.


    The humans watched silently as both Spaceships descended with their weapons still pointed at the humans to deter them from doing anything stupid.


    While they descended, the workers in the just erected war fortress of the Nak Navy prepared the docking site for the Spaceships.


    In no time, like the Logistic Ship, the Combat Carrier touched ground.


    Instantly, more Nak warriors were dispatched from the Carrier as they surrounded it, forming an additionalyer of security around it.


    As for the Battle Cruiser, it didn''t touch ground, it levitated close to the ground as it kept all it''s main armaments aimed at the enemies.


    In an instant, the Nak war fortress gained the real edge of a proper defensive and offensive powerhouse, it suddenly seemed invible.


    As soon as this happened, the Nak Captain floated closer to the Battle Cruiser before throwing onest look of defiance at the humans.


    "This is yourst chance, surrender".


    "Never". Core Protector Daemon literally growled.


    The Nak Captain looked at the others, noting their silence, he nodded.


    "So be it".


    On his signal, the war fortress activated a shield generator as a massive blue shield was erected that covered the just constructed war fortress, including the Fiery Gorgonion in its protective embrace.


    With that, Captain Miyamoto Chan retreated inside his new base.


    ''A ripple effect of my actions''.


    As Legs watched everything that happened, this was the first thought that came to him. ''Another deviation from the main storyline''.


    In his previous life, version 2 was pretty straightforward.


    With de dead after saving Darvis from the wrath of the Clown Society, the Nak Navy didn''t even need to make an appearance, the remnants of the Clown Society did the rest, unleashing the cataclysm on the.


    This time though, due to his intervention, Alexander and the Nak Navy''s true motive was detected ahead of time, changing the course of history.


    After everything that happened during version 1, Legs already expected history to change but not to this extent.<novelnext></novelnext>


    After his reforms, he thought he had enough time to work with President Shanks to shape Darvis into a behemoth that was sturdy enough to resist the cataclysm but he was wrong.


    ''I never expected an invasion toe so fast''.


    ''All my calctions were wrong''. He felt conflicted.


    Having been a space farer as a yer in his previous world, hepletely understood the rational of the Nak Navy and was why he felt the pressure.


    ''They no longer want to y nice and follow the rules''.


    ''They no longer respect thews of the Azure Pantheon''.


    He frowned; this was close to the worst-case scenario that he predicted.


    ''Battles involving battleships are different from those only including Supers. By introducing battleships, the whole paradigm changes''.


    ''Battleships are metallic war machines that excel at long ranges. Originally, they are supposed to be unmatched in battle but this scale is voided as supers grow stronger, developing more supernatural strength to defy reality''.


    ''Despite their raw power, battleships have their disadvantages''.


    ''One, a battle involving battleships require a lot of resources''.


    ''Fuel to keep the battleships running, exotic minerals to rece spent ammunition of the battleships, enough minerals to engage repairs in the case of unexpected damage, and enough spare parts to rece worn out parts''.


    ''All these are hard to obtain''. Legs'' eyes gleamed. ''In essence, a battle involving Battleships is incredibly expensive''.


    ''This is why their General called for this approach, bringing his base to Darvis through a single Battle Cruiser to build his foundation''.


    Darvis is rich in Arcanite metal, that is his gamble''.


    ''By viting the rules of the Azure Pantheon, General Aztog intends to get a foothold in Darvis, creating the foundation to fund a war involving battleships to thoroughly wipe out the natives of the''.


    Even as Legs deduced this, he also deduced the causes.


    ''It is all because of me''.


    ''Originally, meeting backwaters like this, a warlord like General Aztog would have opted for overrunning the with overwhelming firepower but our performance against Alexander intimidated him''.


    ''He now has respect for us, he now sees us as equals''.


    His expression turned grave. ''This is no longer a war of Supers''.


    ''This is now a war of Supers and Battleships''.


    Bzzz!


    After retreating into their war fortress, as they fortified their defenses more in preparation for an attack, the effects of their space-time stabilizers also wore out and now, President Shanks and the other Grade C Superhumans finally arrived.


    Despite the fact that the core of the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance remained intact, seeing the amount of destruction made the President scowl. Seeing the alien war fortress only increased his distress.


    "What happened here?" President Shanks demanded in a grave tone.


    "We need to convene a meeting". Legs said seriously.


    No one objected, all the Grade C Superhumans knew that they couldn''t force their enemies out of their immediately, they had no chance but to agree that the only step forward was to meet and thoroughly strategize.


    For the now, the invasion temporarily stopped.


    The Core Protection Alliance survived but in exchange, the Nak Navy gained a foothold in Darvis, the foundation that they needed to expand.

 Chapter 369 The Fate Of The Planet

    The Nak Fortress, that was what they decided to call it.


    Standing directly opposite the Nak Fortress that was erected and built in less than an hour was the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance. And standing in-between both war fortresses was the Arcanite metal vein.


    For safety reasons, the scheduled meeting was to be held here in the Core Protection Alliance for maximum reaction speed in the case of another attack.


    This time, it was no longer just a leadership meeting involving the High Officials, it was a meeting regarding the fate of the.


    And something this important required the presence of all the surviving Grade C Superhumans from the battle of Hellfire Mountains.


    "What is a Battle Cruiser?"


    With a frown on his face, President Shanks asked.


    "A Battle Cruiser is a Battleship, part of the Spaceship ss built for wars". Legs had a serious look on his face as he spoke.


    And this time, the others exhibited less reaction to his out of this world knowledge. After the incredible knowledge that he showed during the time of the Clown Society, they all more or less already came to different conclusions.


    To some of them, he had the ability of foresight. To others, he was secretly a Prophet and to even some, he was a Shaman from the future.


    Legs never agreed nor did he refute their ims, it was part of the reasons for his present power and influence. Always keep them guessing, this was his strategy and it worked as it built an additionalyer of mystery around him.


    Legs paid no attention to their different spections right now though.


    He answered. "From the little knowledge that I have, there are different types of Spaceships, the 3 that came today are examples".


    "The first tond is called a Logistic Ship, the war fortress that was erected in less than an hour should say a lot about their capabilities, they are fully built for auxiliary purposes mostly intended to aid wars".


    "In untameds, they can serve as mining and refinery vessels. And in developeds, they can serve as building and construction vessels".


    "It is with their presence that a war fleet can roam with confidence into a frontier, they are that indispensable".


    "Like I said, it seems the Nak General is now ready to wage a full war with us. Logistics Spaceships are proficient with mining minerals and refining them to usable goods. With their presence, the stay of Battleships can be prolonged".


    "They can produce fuel, ammunition, and other space war essentials".


    "In my deduction, these first 3 Spaceships are just the prelude to a greater invasion. General Aztog likely sent them to test our defenses, and since we couldn''t prevent the invasion, it more or less gives a correct estimate of our current power".


    "Next time, I doubt he''ll be as restrained".


    "He''ll be unbridled and will attack with force".


    "If we''re not careful, we will likely be sharing our with a 3rd force, a force likely even more powerful than the beasts of the apocalypse".


    "¡­" Silence descended as they all took in the new information.


    To most of them, everything about space was literally new stuff. It took them some getting used to for them to familiarize with all the new terms.


    "But the Battle Cruiser". President Shanks insisted.


    Legs finally nodded. "Battleships arerge armored warships with main batteries consisting ofrge caliber guns and turrets. Most also have primary cannons that can unleash pure destruction with each payload".


    "There are Battleships of different weight sses".


    Legs looked at the President. "I don''t know them all but a typical Space war fleet consists of a Frigate, a Destroyer or multiple, a Heavy Cruiser, and in some rare cases a Battle Cruiser".


    "¡­!" Question marks filled all the Grade C Superhumans'' faces.


    Legs did not keep them waiting, he exined. "Frigates are mostly full-rigged Battleships built for speed and maneuverability, intended to be used mostly for scouting and patrol roles, but not helpless when caught in battle".


    "As for a Destroyer, in Naval terminology, they are fast, maneuverable, long-endurance warship intended to escortrger vessels in a fleet".


    "If the Naks ever decide to start a full invasion, their Destroyer should certainly be one of our main focuses since it would be one of the first Battleships that will enter our range, they can be menaces of destruction".


    "As for Battle Cruisers, they are types of capital ships simr in discement, armament, and cost to Heavy Cruisers".


    "The only and main difference is that they typically have thinner armor and lighter main gun batteries, installed on a longer hull with much higher engine power in order to attain greater speeds".


    "In most cases, when there is already a Heavy Cruiser, there is not much space left for Battle Cruisers but there can be exceptions, like this one".


    "As for Heavy Cruisers". He paused as his face turned serious. "They are the OG of space wars".


    "Designed for long range bombardment and high speed, they can bombard most enemies to bits and pieces with their high-caliber cannons while outrunning most forms of counterattacks".


    "And apart from their high speed and long-range damage potential, in close range, they are not to be trifled with since among all the battleship sses, apart from the most extreme geared for defense, they are the mostly heavily armored".


    "They can attack, defend, and retreat at will".


    "In essence, this makes them the perfect vessel for space wars".


    "They are the most expensive but also the most powerful by a margin".


    "If the cataclysm is to start". Legs'' eyes gleamed. "A Heavy Cruiser will be out nightmare and if we are to lose, it will be our undoing".


    "¡­"


    Total silence descended after Legs finished his exnation.<novelnext></novelnext>


    All the Grade C Superhumans took their time as with their enhanced brain activity, they broke down Legs'' exnation to the smallest pieces. It was a lot for them to take in but they were all elites, they soon epted the truth.


    Once they epted the truth, they finally discovered something.


    ''This is the fate of our''.


    Legs read their thoughts. "Yes, this is our fate".


    "As you can see, just a single Battle Cruiser, a Logistic Spaceship, and a Combat Carrier whose main job is simply ferrying warriors to battlefields and see how awfully we were able to cope against them".


    "And I can assure you, this is nowhere near their full force".


    "A war fleet sent to an uncharted frontier like this needs to have the capability to fend for itself and adapt to different circumstances, and this means having the fullposition of a Heavy Cruiser, a Destroyer, a¡­"


    Legs said no more, the heavy expressions of the Grade C Superhumans was not friendly as they listened to him, they grimaced more and more.


    "As it stands, they have an overwhelming advantage over us". Legs concluded. "If we meet in an all-out war now, we all die".


    President Shanks stood up. "What made them change their mind now?"


    "I thought you said some universalw held them back from going all-out which would have given us more than enough time to grow to match their power".


    Legs shook his head. "I don''t know".


    "From what it seems, they suddenly decided to disobey thew".


    "And since we can''t decide on it, we need to fight for our survival ourselves".


    "¡­"


    Silence descended on this meeting as they were drowned in their own thoughts, different considerations and concerns went through their minds.


    "We can''t survive alone". President Shanks suddenly said.


    All the Grade C Superhumans looked at him, waiting for him to continue.


    President Shanks turned to face them. "I never expected an invasion so soon, this literally pushes all our long-term ns to the back".


    "To have a chance at survival, we need to unite the whole".


    ''How?'' They thought while waiting for him to continue.


    President Shanks turned to face Norman. "The old geezer who warned you about the dangers of alien machines, do you think he is dead?"


    Norman thought briefly. "Though I''ve not seen him for centuries even during the Clown Society war, if I may guess, I think he is still alive".


    "Good, that is also my guess".


    President Shanks continued. "Before our era, there was an era of Superhumans before us, those were the first descendants from our ancestors".


    "After discovering so much about our history from Alexander, I believe that they know far more than us. Not only that, the more I grow as a Superhuman, the more I doubt that they are all dead".


    "My best guess is that due to some reason, they went into hiding".


    His eyes gleamed. "We need to find them".


    "We need to unite them all to stage ourst stand".


    "If the Clown Society didn''t concern them before, this definitely does. Alone, we have too high a chance of losing and they know that, so I believe they''ll meet us no matter what their reason for hiding is".


    "Apart from that". He turned to look at Legs. "The Desert Tribes".


    "You''ve met them once, you can meet them again. They suffered from Norman''s crazy experiments, tell them that a greater suffering ising".


    "Rally them to the cause of defending our".


    "Yes Mr. President". Legs epted the order.


    President Shanks turned to face the others. "Though I am not sure, I have heard gists that the human settlements built inside the shelters are not the only ones. After the apocalypse, other human settlements settled outside the shelters".


    "We don''t know their numbers; we don''t know their power".


    "All I know is that we need to unite".


    "That is our only hope to save ourselves and our future generations".


    "That is the only way to save Darvis".


    "This is the fate of the".

 Chapter 370 Planet Titania

    The Roronoa Star System was a giant void of floating debris.


    Through the see-through transparent screen of the Frigate, Champion Onana watched with his Cutting-Edge technology transformable Rifle ced on his shoulder. His fingers slowly stroked and caressed the weapon''s metal edges.


    Seated on a chair like an Emperor, he watched with amusement in his eyes.


    Through the see-through screen, he could see the floating debris and space junk in space. All these seemed to speak a long history of an old once thriving Space ecosystem and a likely Empire that ruled it all.


    "What a sad story". He muttered.


    "The floating junks all sing a different story of the disaster".


    His 2 cyborg eyes each glowing red and blue pulsed as he seemed to be reading history through the metallic junk. "It was intense".


    "Ahh¡­, the General''s take was wrong all along".


    "They have the wrong history".


    His glowing cybeic eyes glowed with more intensity as he looked at the floating debris. "It was an uprising against the ruling Empire¡­, interesting".


    "A deadly coalition starting from 3s allying together".


    "Hehe¡­, like with all Empires, they became conceited and underestimated the power of coalition and unity".


    His eyes glowed brighter as he imagined everything as they happened in history. "In a century, a force rivalling the ruling Empire was born".


    "And¡­" He grinned then he pped excitedly. "War started!"


    after was destroyed". He traced his hands through the hazy forms of the debris. "War fleets were destroyed every other hour".


    "Hehe¡­, what an intense part of history I missed".


    His eyes glowed brighter again. "Oh! So, it was the Empire''s main that caused the radioactive pulse? Hehe¡­, I never believed that 2 warrings was enough to induce a radioactive pulse".


    "Ah! The Emperor did it himself, hehe".


    "On knowing he would die and that his Empire would fall, like I would have done, he pulled the suicide switch on. Triggering all the vtile minerals and exotics that he had gathered in his resource rich for centuries, it happened".


    "A GIANT RADIOACTIVE PULSE". He raised both his hands exaggeratedly.


    "And¡­BOOM!"


    "A star system was gone".


    "Beautiful story!"


    He pped. "What a beautiful story!"


    Click!


    It was at this moment that the hatch to hispartment was opened, a young warrior donning navy blue military attire walked in.


    "Our long-ranged sensors just detected the 3rd".


    Deart?"


    "Yes".


    "Oh, show me".


    A projection appeared in thispartment, that of a gray as massive as Darvis. Unlike Darvis, Deart had no bright lively colors, the concentration of gray indicated that the was devoid of life.


    "What a pity". Onana muttered.


    "Do you intend to change course or¡­?"


    "Continue course for Titania". His eyebrows tilted in curiosity. "I believe that is where all the real excitement is".


    "Yes Sir".


    "We are prepared for warp travel".


    "Go on".


    "Yes Sir".


    Shortly after the young soldier left, as their Captain, Champion Onana watched the floating debris with pure amusement on his face, the Frigate briefly vibrated before being pulled into the higher dimensions.


    The Spaceship entered warp travel, it disappeared.


    Bzzz!


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    The Frigate appeared in an entirely new region of space.


    After weeks of continually jumping into the higher dimensions, squeezing the distance for faster travel, Champion Onana and his space crew finally arrived at the subject of his curiosity, Titania.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Wom! Wom!


    A projection from the engineers was brought to him.


    [Warning! Vtile energies detected!]


    [Warning! Gravity exceeding ship limits detected!]


    [Warning! Ultra-radioactive energy detected!]


    [Warning! Ship has been pulled into a gravity well!]


    The real Captain who piloted the Frigate took over control. "Activate all avable Space-time stabilizers".


    "Activate the gravity stabilizers".


    "Deploy the 2nd and 3rdyer energy shields".


    "Engage our thrusters on reverse at full power".


    While the crew of the spaceship responded to the storm that they were caught into immediately after arriving out of warp travel, Champion Onana finally stood up from his chair in fascination as he observed the Radioactive Giant.


    Compared to this, Darvis looked like a dwarf.


    The extreme radiationing out of the formed 4 distinctyers. The 4th and outermostyer gave off an orange radioactive pulse, the inner 3rdyer gave off a green pulse, while the inner 2ndyer gave off a purple hue pulse.


    As for the innermostyer, the Frigate''s sensors could barely pick its signals.


    The only reason why it could was because Onana''s Frigate was a state of the art Nak Spaceship, and that as a Spaceship originally built for scouting purposes, it''s sensors were far stronger than anything General Aztog''s fleet could offer.


    The 1st innermostyer gave off a deep gray pulse.


    Pure fascination filled this Mechanic''s face as he watched.


    "Such raw radiation power". He was amazed.


    "This can only be caused by thousands of years of grounding debris in its horrifying gravity while taking the lion share from this star system''s giant star".


    The Roronoa Star System''s sole Giant Star was recorded in General Aztog''s map. The massive energies being radiated by this Giant Star were mostly absolved by Titania daily, and it exined it''s horrifying power of radiation.


    ''Not even my Frigate can survive so much radiation''. He thought.


    Despite the horrifying power in disy before him though, one thought still upied this Mechanic''s mind. ''All this power, can I harness it?''


    ''Delzebub beat me thest time''. He briefly scowled at the thought.


    ''I promised him I''ll beat him next time''.


    ''Perhaps, harnessing this raw energy is the key''.


    ''If I can somehow harness it and integrate its horrifying powers in my Berserker''s power reactor, I may be able to supercharge it''s whole base parameters''.


    ''And not just that¡­'' His eyes gleamed. ''If I can harvest a metal or mineral produced from this, adding it to my improved power reactor, I may be able to unlock an entirely new mech ability''.


    "Get the radiation Starship ready, I''m going out". He suddenly ordered as he picked up hisst gadgets before stepping outside.


    "Boss, you intend to go alone?"


    "Yes".


    "But it''s dangerous!" His crew was horrified.


    He smirked. "Life is inherently dangerous".


    "We''ll never enjoy it if we give in to our cowardice and hide in defeat, the pleasures of life are in exploring the dangers and limits of life".


    "Boss¡­"


    "No more".


    "But¡­"


    "This is an order!"


    "Yes sir!"


    A few minutester, a much smaller,pact, but inherently stronger and more armored space vessel wasunched out of the Frigate.


    Champion Onana left alone.

 Chapter 371 [Bonus ]Shocking Discovery!

    Boom!


    Bursts of radioactivity exploded out at various intervals, gushing out likeva from an erupting volcano as Onana carefully maneuvered through it all.


    At this moment, Titania was a bright pulsing bulge of orange.


    Beep! Beep!


    [Warning! Armor Integrity is reducing!]


    [Warning! Stress levels increasing!]


    "Wow, even with this much armor designed specifically to resist radiation energy, the armor integrity is still reducing? Interesting¡­"


    Back in the crew of the Frigate, all the crew members were in a state of great unrest as they watched the dare devil acts of their patron.


    Every Nak Champion was a revered individual of the state, every one of them was incredibly talented and were tipped to be the future leaders and pullers of Nak society, no harm was allowed to befall them.


    Working under Onana was a privilege to those in his crew, but at the same time the stress that came with working with him was crazy.


    Like now, they were sweating for his safety again like crazy.


    With fascination in his eyes, Onana ignored everything else as he observed the scrambled but still rtively visible footage from his starship.


    The more he watched, the more amazed he was. "Wow".


    "In my years of exploration, I''ve never seen a like this".


    "With so much energy, this should''ve imploded on itself already, what the hell is keeping it stable all these while?"


    The more he observed, the more perplexed he became.


    At this moment, all around his starship was an orange color as he went deeper into the 4th outermostyer of the. It took more than 5 hours of exploration before he was able to get to the edge of the 4thyer.


    Though most of the 5 hours was simply boring exploration work, Onana never got tired of it, he was fascinated by all the new things that he learned.


    ''How is Titania possible?'' He could not help but ask.


    Whoosh!


    A sound reverberated like the starship was sucked into something. Transiting from the 4thyer to the 3rdyer of this was incredible, he could only associate it with that feeling when a drink was sucked through a straw.


    [Warning! Gravity increasing!]


    [Warning! Losing Flight Control!]


    "Boss, you need to get out now!"


    "You will soon lose control over the starship!"


    Onana finally frowned for the first time.


    Seeing this, though they were separated by hundreds of kilometers, his subordinates still felt their hearts skip a beat, Onana was pissed.


    He looked at all the shing red lights in the starship, including the warning rms that kept on ring.


    "Hmph!" He snorted.


    "Nothing can prevent me from improving!"


    "I live my whole life for it".


    He override the A.Imand of the starship, the next moment, he directed the power that was pushed to stabilizing the powerful gravitational pull to the starship''s thrusters. The effects of the sudden change were instant.


    Boom!


    The starship was pulled into the Radioactive Giant with speed!


    "Nooo¡­!"


    "Boss!!!"


    "Do note after me, it is an order!"


    Onana cut off the connection as he focused on riding the storm. Unlike the 4thyer that was still pretty clear despite the orange manifestation of the radiation, the 3rdyer seemed to contain even more unfriendly elements.


    [Warning! A strange energy has been detected!]


    [Associating attributes¡­, corrting results¡­, please wait¡­]


    The powerful processors of the starship were put to use, less than a secondter, Onana got the answer that he was waiting for.


    [Data Found: Corrosion Energy!]


    His eyes widened. ''All these energies all in 1?!''


    He didn''t spend as much time as he spent in the 4thyer in the 3rdyer, not only was his starship faster now as he no longer resisted the powerful gravity, but the distance was also closer now as he got closer to the''s surface.


    Boom!


    Instantly after he was sucked in to the 2ndyer, everything changed to purple. Not just purple, there were floating debris in the purpleyer of this''s sphere, instantly turning it into a death zone.


    Bam! Bam!


    [Warning! Floating Debris detected!]


    [Engage Evasive measures!]


    When floating debris came being flung at you by gravity at speeds exceeding hundreds of km/hr, even the most stanch of heart would be shaken.


    Even Onana was shaken but he remained focused.


    As a mechanic, though it was not his core profession, Onana was a mad starship pilot. Instantly after the first debris hit his ship, he engaged mad riding mood as he piloted the ship in inexplicable ways, performing crazy maneuvers.


    After what felt like 10 minutester, the starship finally hit the surface.


    Thending was rough and loud.


    The metallic sound as it crashed reverberated for long while echoing far as it skid a few meters forward before finally stopping.<novelnext></novelnext>


    The starship was now almost unrecognizable after passing so many hurdles, it was damaged and it looked like a ruined abandoned ship.


    Luckily, all its sensor systems remained intact.


    Onana''s eyes widened.


    "A metal?!" His voice rose a crescendo to show his shock and excitement.


    Metals were not rare in the Minerva Star System, but every single one of them were valuable state resources. They were strategic resources that ensured the continued power of powerful states like the Nak State.


    And most importantly, metals were the havens of Mechanics.


    "This is the real treasure in the Roronoa Star System! Why didn''t this be the main target?!"


    Instantly after he asked, he got his answer, he looked up. "The Giant Star".


    When taken as a reference, the sun of the Milky Way Gxy was nothing more than a small star. Medium stars had far more energy than it, but as for Giant Stars, they were part of the true power hogs of the universe.


    The radiation and interference alone from the Giant Star was enough to scramble any long-ranged sensory systems, it was why the truth was not detected that Titania was actually a metal.


    "Well, now I discovered it".


    This was why Onana loved exploration, the joy and fulfilment of discovering new things.


    Besides, he already made his decision. "I''m keeping this for myself".


    Though the Nak State valued metals and this could help in the development of his state, this was the problem, they valued it too much and would never leave a whole metal in the hands of a Grade B Mechanic like him.


    Now that he was lucky to discover one, he would keep it for himself.


    ''I will do anything to improve!'' He affirmed in his heart.


    "Goard, get me a sample of the surface metal".


    "Yes, Champion". The A.I of the starship responded and went to work.


    The next moment, metallic tentacles extended from the starship before digging in and cutting out a chunk of the surface metal.


    [Metal detected!]


    [Scanning for properties¡­]


    [Properties found¡­, match detected¡­]


    [Metal Name: Magic Mithril!]


    Onana''s eyes widened, he jumped for joy. "I hit the f*cking jackpot!"


    Magic Mithril was a powerful metal even stronger with more useful effects than Arcanite. One of it''s main uses was being able to merge magical elements with mechanical energy, granting a mechanic much more versatility and options.


    ''If I get enough Magic Mithril from here, all I need is invite General Aztog''s Mage subordinate over''. His eyes shone excitedly. ''I can create a brand-new mechanical suit in no time!''


    ''Besides, this is just the surface metal, after absorbing the power of so many different energies, there is bound to be even more amazing metal samples deeper into the''. He was hyped and excited.


    It was while he rejoiced inwardly that the starship''s systems made another warning report that attracted his attention.


    [Warning! Strange surface movement detected!]


    Onana instantly turned alert as he watched with sharp eyes. "Movement? There''s something else out here?"


    Beforending on the, he already scanned the immediate vicinity of the where hended and he detected no signs of life.


    Besides, he was positively sure of his deduction that with so much radiation energy here, there was no lifeform that could survive here so what was out there?


    ''Another space fleet?'' He thought even as he applied countermeasures.


    "Enter defense mode!"


    The A.I obeyed as the starship turned bulkier.


    Silently, Onana watched through the sensors of the spaceship, then he saw it. At first, it simply felt likeary movements like dust or gravity but on a closer look on zoom, Onana saw¡­eyes, red eyes.


    ''Eyes?!'' His heart skipped a beat.


    "Zoom in closer!"


    The A.I obeyed.


    The interference of the radiation was strong, but the strong sensors of the starship was able to prevail in the end. After prating through the interference, Onana saw a zoomed picture that seemed like an army of red from afar.


    They served as a great contrast to the gray surroundings of this metal.


    Zooming even closer, he saw them more clearly. A round curved red metal exoskeleton body with ck dots housing tiny wings, a ck metal head, short sharp mandibles, and a row of metal legs.


    There were thousands of them.


    Buzz!


    Their tiny metal wings fluttered as they levitated.


    "Bugs?"


    Instantly after he asked, Onana''s eyes widened. "Space Bugs!"


    He returned the sensor systems to it''s default settings where he saw the red lights at their normal zoom again. Instantly, his heart chilled, while he was unaware, the whole already turned into a sea of red buzzing creatures.


    "F*ck!"


    "Goard, take off!"


    The starship lifted up but the red lights did the same, Onana''s heart chilled.

 Chapter 372 Onana Vs The Space Bugs!

    [Space Bug detected!]


    [Corrting attributes with internal Space Bug data¡­, please wait¡­]


    [Scanning for apparent physical features and characteristics¡­, please wait¡­]


    [Warning! Space Bug data unavable!]


    [Reason: This is an entirely new Space Bug variant that the Nak State had never been in contact with, they were probably mutated from the environment of this metal. Champion Onana, please thread with caution.]


    [Threat Assessment: Fairly Dangerous!]


    ''Fairly dangerous?''


    For a moment, Onana was tempted to stay behind and test out the power of these Space bugs but experience told him otherwise. As an explorer, you need to trust your instincts and know when to cut your losses and escape.


    At this moment, his instinct told him to escape first.


    The unknown was always the most dangerous.


    "Goard, take off!"


    The A.I of the Starship obeyed instantly.


    The starship''s powerful radioactive engine pumped power into the thrusters as it broke the''s gravity and lifted up with momentum. Without hesitation, it started rapidly elerating into the radioactive skies.


    The only problem was, at the same time, the Space Bugs reacted.


    They were Bugs but they moved like a colony of Ants.


    As soon as the starship rose up, Onana was able to see the clearly. From a vantage point, and through the starship''s sensors, though he could not see the full, from this side, the Bugs were everywhere.


    A worrying fact was that their speed was faster than he expected. Though it was not as fast as the starship, it was enough for them to barely keep up.


    In their crazy numbers, they rose up in their horde in a clear bid to surround the starship from all sides before drowning it in their numbers and devouring it.


    He worried if they had long-ranged abilities.


    ''How were they hiding since?'' He thought with a frown.


    He was positively sure that when he entered the, he detected no signs of any red objects, Titania''s surface was entirely made of gray metal.


    His eyes narrowed. ''Do they live under the surface metal?''


    While he thought, they finally attacked.


    His worst fears came through, 1/3rd of the millions of Bugs that rose up suddenly glowed in a bright red light. Then the next moment, a bright corona of red energy like blood was unleashed towards the starship.


    [New Threat Assessment: Extremely Dangerous!]


    [Warning! Powerful radioactive attack detected!]


    [Warning! Power level exceeding estimate!]


    [Directing all avable power to protect the Champion!]


    [Activating emergencyunch¡­!]


    The new threat assessment came a little bit toote.


    These were Goard''sst words.


    Everything happened so fast, the attack hit instantly.


    BOOM!


    Metallic shrapnel and other particles exploded everywhere at great velocities as the starship was instantly obliterated out of existence.


    1 attack from the Bugs was all it took to obliterate a starship.


    They didn''t stop though, they instead increased their speed, this was because the human was already escaping at an even higher speed.


    ''Such raw power''. Onana was amazed and amused.


    ''What type of Space Bug specie is this?''


    At thest moment, redirecting all the power of the starship, the emergency eject sequence was activated as Onana wasunched out of the starship at thest moment, saving him from the incredibly lethal attack.


    That attack was all Onana needed to know that his stay here was not wee. Instantly after beingunched out, his Samurai-style armor transformed, turning into a makeshift mechanical suit through which he escaped now.


    ''At this speed, I will escape the''s sphere before they can reach me''.


    BZZZ!


    Onana''s eyes immediately turned dizzy, his suit interface lit up.


    [Warning! Psychic attack detected!]


    Onana was horrified, through the sensors of his armor, he looked back down at the only to see the sudden emergence of 3 simrly red Space Bugs with ck dots that were far bigger than all the others.


    One had 2 antennas on his head, another had a horn growing from its head, while thest looked stocky and firm like a ball of unbreakable metal.


    It was the one with 2 antennas that just sent a psychic st at him.


    ''This power!'' Onana was shocked.


    BOOM!


    While he looked, the huge Space Bug with a horn suddenly unleashed a powerful atomic st through it''s horn. Onana reacted fast as he tried to dodge through his mechanical suit, but he was not fast enough, a part of the armor was hit.


    [WARNING!]


    [Shield integrity has decreased by 40%!]


    Onana''s face finally turned grave. By now, more than 40% of the normal Space Bugs already got to his position in the air as they rapidly surrounded him before they started elerating towards his position.


    In his current state, he estimated that his chances of escaping without fighting these Space Bugs was now below 10%.


    He scowled then he reconnected his feed to his subordinates in the Frigate.


    "Send in Berserker!"


    [Warning! Heavy Radioactive Interference¡­, unstablework!]


    The Space Bugs elerated towards him.


    And suddenly, thest of the 3 special Space Bugs that appeared finally made it''s move. After hitting the metal surface of the repeatedly like a Bull, it suddenlyunched into the skies with incredible speed like a space rocket.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Whoosh!


    Thework problem indicated that he was now alone, Onana''s eyes turned sharp. ''I can''t escape this''.


    Instantly after he came to the conclusion, maic energy cackled around him. This was concentrated mechanical energy of the Grade B realm.


    "Special Mechanical Ability: Mech Suit Connection!"


    His cybeic eyes changed and glowed a silver color.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Mech Suit Descent!"


    Instantly after this, Onana grabbed his Cutting-Edge transformable Rifle and aimed it at the Space Bug that already appeared before him.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Total Resonance!"


    His blue maic energy cackled and snaked into the body of the powerful Rifle. When he pulled the trigger, the blue maic energy followed it.


    Boom!


    The stocky Space Bug''s momentum instantly paused for a moment as the powerfulser beam struck against its thick metal frame, melting through arge area of metal but this did notpletely stop the Space Bug.


    It let out a soundless cry and continued charging forward.


    By now, it was already extremely close to Onana.


    His eyes narrowed. "Mechanic Ability: Rifle Transformation!"


    As his maic energy snaked through the body of the powerful Rifle, from its Laser Rifle configuration, the Rifle instantly turned bigger and heavier, transforming into a thick Guass Rifle configuration.


    Onana pulled the trigger!


    BOOM!


    The physical conducting projectile was elerated at an incredible velocity. The Bug did not see iting as the metal slug mmed against its metal hide.


    Crank!


    It''s thick metal skin caved in, then the metal slug dug deeper before going all the way through. Electricity cackled through its body before it exploded.


    Onana''s eyes flickered. ''It took me so much to kill one of these Bugs''.


    ''They don''t have up to Grade B power but definitely above Grade C''.


    ''That means the regr Bugs may be even weaker''.


    By now, they already closed the distance to him, millions of Space Bugs swarmed towards him like an unending menace but Onana exhibited no fear, he may have his entricities but he was a bonafide Champion, he was a war veteran.


    "Mechanic Ability: Rifle Transformation!"


    "Mechanic Ability: Total Resonance!"


    His blue maic energy resonated with the Rifle before it suddenly broke into 2 parts, turning into individual Positron Pistols.


    Instantly after this transformation, he was submerged by the swarming Bugs.


    A few unsettling seconds followed as Onana was submerged.


    Then the next moment, blue maic energy burst out.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Each shot reverberated alongside the others,bining together to form a cacophony like a professional drummer rolling through his drum set.


    And in the wake of this explosive eruption from Onana, metal shrapnel and particles exploded apart from the dead Space Bugs.


    Onana entered a state of overdrive as his armor turned makeshift mech suit rotated on the spot, giving him the angle to shoot at all the Space Bugs. Every shot from him killed multiple Space Bugs, he massacred them.


    The only problem was that more of them wereing, there were literally millions of Space Bugs surrounding him at this moment.


    And another fact was that, there were 2 more special Bugs.


    Bzzz!


    Another Psychic st hit him which was quickly followed by another long-rangedser shot from thest special Bug.


    These 2 attacks disrupted his tempo as the normal Bugs submerged him again. Onana called into his full experience and strength as a Champion as he fought with a stony face, using all the tricks in his book to save his life.


    At this moment, he could no longer escape.


    He relied on the arrival of his baby that he already called for.


    While he doggedly fought for his life, he received anotherser beam attack and with this, he finally became vulnerable.


    [WARNING!]


    [Shield integrity has decreased to 0%]


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Energy Recycling!"


    By expending a lot of his mechanic energy, the shield came to life again with 50% integrity, this bought enough time for his baby to finally arrive.


    Hum!


    The powerful energy radiating from the mechanical suit attracted the attention of the Space Bugs. They tried to intercept it but with raw power, it bulldozed its way through them before finally reaching its master.


    With crackling sounds, the mechanical suit opened up as it seamlessly integrated the already injured Onana inside its safe metal haven.


    Onana regained his vision to familiar lights and user interface.


    ~BERSERKER~


    [Wee back Master!]


    [Orders?]


    Onana did not answer his favorite mech suit, instead with a stony look on his face, he took over control of this war machine as he opened fire.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Mech Resonance!"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Pure destruction began.

 Chapter 373 Mechanic Suit- Berserker!

    The gigantic bright silver mechanical suit attracted a lot of attention from the Space Bugs. From their behavior, Onana already detected another fact about them, they were attracted to energy which likely meant they fed on it.


    This discovery didn''t matter at this moment though because he needed to fight for his life and that was exactly what he focused on.


    During his integration with Berserker, the mechanical suit also took his Cutting-Edge Rifle into ount as the mech now wielded the powerful Rifle.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Mech Resonance!"


    Instantly after Onana activated this mechanic ability, his maic energy moved and cackled across the surface of the mechanic suit. Again, he regained ess and familiarity to the myriad weapon systems that he created.


    He no longer held back; he pulled the trigger.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Instantly, the millions of Space Bugs were washed with a wave of fury.


    From the back of the silver mechanical suit, hidden ports were opened as loaded missile warheads wereunched at the Bugs. They exploded on impact and amplified by Onana''s mechanic energy, their st radius was massive.


    Hundreds of thousands of Space Bugs were wiped out by this attack and yet, this was not all, this was just the start.


    The mechanic suit geared to life as on it''s pilot''s will, it moved. Even as it moved, a massive port also opened at its side through which another weapon came out. This time, it was a gigantic mech-grade methrower.


    With the Cutting-Edge transformable Rifle held on the mech''s right hand, the left was free to wield the methrower as it unleashed fire on the Bugs.


    Like was proven with the missile warheads, the Space Bugs were slightly more vulnerable to fire. The extremely hot wave of fire that came out melted and incinerated them in the thousands as Onana went on a rampage.


    ~BERSERKER~


    [Analyzing Space Bug strengths and weaknesses¡­]


    [Slight weakness to fire detected!]


    [Effective weakness to physical impact attacks!]


    At this moment, Onana was not the only one battling against the millions of Space Bugs that swarmed at him. Berserker also fought alongside him as the mech suit''s powerful A.I made use of it''s processors to aid his battle.


    Together, they formed the perfect synergy.


    This allowed Onana to improvise mid-battle, increasing his efficiency and effectiveness as the battle dragged on and the results were apparent.


    He became a Space-Bug ughtering machine!


    By the time that the methrower finally became spent, he already killed over 2 million Space Bugs with it. Arge void in this''s sphere was instantly opened devoid of Space Bugs as the spent methrower returned to its port.


    Millions may have died, but there were millions more charging at him.


    His situation was just not as urgent anymore after this.


    Through the sensors of his mech suit, Onana observed the millions of normal Bugs still mindlessly charging at him and the others below.


    ''These guys are clearly canon fodder''.


    ''Those remaining 2 variant Bugs are the real catch here''.


    ''Should I descend back to the? No, it''s too dangerous''.


    ''Then I have no choice, I must capture one of them for research purposes''.


    Instantly after making his decision, he acted. Another weapon slot opened in the mech suit and this time, from inside it came out a Cutting-Edge mech-grade Shotgun, a weapon highly effective at wiping out hordes of enemies.


    BOOM!


    After pulling the trigger, the powerful weapon boomed to life, unleashing its shotshell as destructive pellets were shot at the advancing Space Bugs. Thousands of other Space Bugs were wiped off its path.


    It was like they were drenched in a rain of destruction.


    "Mechanic Ability: Mech Amplification!"


    Under Onana''s deliberate control, more of his power was diverted towards the mechanic suit''s flight systems as it elerated rapidly downwards.


    The 2 Special Space Bugs immediately detected the threat.


    Chirp! Chirp!


    They started making strange panicky sounds like birds which sounded extremely unnatural. Onana paid no attention to them though, while still killing with the Shotgun, he aimed with the Cutting-Edge Rifle again.


    "Mechanic Ability: Rifle Transformation!"


    It transformed again, this time, into a long-ranged Positron Sniper Rifle.


    BOOM!


    The atomicser-shooting Special Space Bug did not survive it, the positron beam from Onana''s Rifle was pure destruction as it tore it apart inside out.


    Inside Berserker, Onana was at his peak strength, one shot was all it took to eliminate this Special Space Bug that originally proved to be a nuisance.


    With the 2nd Special Space Bug eliminated, only thest one with Psychic abilities remained. Onana was about to employ measures to steal it away when his sharp instincts as a Grade B Mechanic suddenly screamed towards him.


    Whoosh!


    Not even taking a moment to think, he did a sharp curve with the mech suit, narrowly dodging the powerful magic st that came out of the''s surface.


    ~BERSERKER~


    [Breaking Radioactive interference¡­, please wait¡­]


    [New Space Bug detected!]


    [Energy Signatures: Grade B!]


    [Threat Assessment: Extremely Dangerous!]


    "A Grade B Space Bug?!" Now, Onana was finally horrified.


    Through his mech suit''s sensors, he looked more closely, this was when he saw it. With a body almost 10 times asrge as the others, this Space Bug stuck out like a sore thumb, and 3 distinct energies hovered around it.


    ''A Space Bug integrating magic, psychic, and summoner abilities?!''


    Onana was horrified at what he was seeing.


    "INTRUDER!"


    It''s croaky voice like a fantasy Toad reverberated loudly across the.


    "¡­!"


    Now, Onana was even more shocked. "It can speak themon tongue?!"


    "Mechanic Ability: Suction Force!"


    Onana dared not hesitate anymore, but he was still not resigned to leave without his price. Instantly after he activated this ability, from Berserker''s both metallic feet, a powerful suction force was generated.


    Easily beating the gravity of this, thest of the first 3 Special Space Bugs was sucked up towards the mechanic suit with speed.


    Not waiting for its arrival, Onana turned to flee.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "ENEMY!"


    "KILL!"


    The new Space Bug with Grade B energy signatures spoke again angrily before moving. While its body levitated into the skies with speed, it was its summoner energy that moved faster as it spread like a gue.


    In no time, this Bug''s summoner energy already covered over a hundred thousand Space Bugs. He override their mental defenses and took over them.


    Like a real summoner, he augmented the Bugs and ordered them into battle on his behalf. These hundred thousand Bugs became elite Bugs.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Theirbined attacks was powerful but it only nicked Berserker''s energy shield, it was not enough to break it yet but this slowed him down.


    And yet, this was not the real move.


    "^&%#@!"


    The powerful and gigantic Space Bug roared in an unknownnguage, muttering some powerful words as its magic energy was finally aroused.


    What appeared like a Spear solely created out of magic power materialized in the air. The next moment, this magic Spear was thrust towards Onana and his mechanical suit as the mech suit''s sensors immediately rang rms.


    ~BERSERKER~


    [Warning! Iing Magic Attack!]


    [Damage Potential Assessment: Lethal!]


    [Advise: Evade!]


    [Warning! Psychic Attack detected¡­]


    BZZZ!


    This time, Onana almost lost consciousnesspletely from the attack. When he fully regained his vision, his mech was already surrounded again by millions of Space Bugs and the Grade B Space Bug rapidly closed the distance.


    And the most dangerous of all, the Magic Spear was here.


    BOOM!


    The Spear cut through Berserker''s energy shield like a hot knife through butter. Instantly, the Cutting-Edge mechanical suit erected 2 moreyers of defense shields yet the best that they could do was slow the magic spear down.


    After 5 seconds where Berserker was locked in ce in the air by the spear''s dpidating magic effects, it finally pierced through as metallic particles fell out.


    ~BERSERKER~


    [Warning! Critical Hit Received!]


    [Armor breach detected!]


    [Triggering redundant energy distribution!]


    "This¡­!" Onana was shocked.


    He dared not ignore it anymore, ignoring everything else, he oriented his mechanic suit towards the new Space Bug that was now dangerously close to him.


    "DIE INTRUDER!"


    "You''re not worthy to decide my fate!" Onana growled.


    "Specialty Mechanic Ability: Willpower Baptism!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Overload!"


    The Cutting-Edge transformable Rifle and the Shotgun were instantly overloaded with crackling maic energy, instantly increasing their parameters by a crazy margin as with eyes zing with fury, Onana pulled the trigger.


    The Space Bug did not remain idle, triggering all it''s 3 different types of energies, itunched psychic, magic, and summoner attacks at the intruder.


    For a brief moment, World War 3 was fought between 2 supremely powerful beings as this region instantly became a death zone of destruction.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    ~BERSERKER~


    [Warning! Further Armor Breach detected!]


    [Congrattions! You have breached your opponent''s metal shell!]


    [You have injured the Unique Space Bug!]


    [Detecting spatial fluctuations¡­, reading energy signals¡­]


    [Energy Signal Read: Unchartered Detected!]


    "Protect the Champion!" The Captain of the Frigate ordered.


    This lightweight Battleship did not hold back, drawing into it''s reserves from its mighty power reactor, it overloaded its primary weapon armaments and pulled the trigger. Instantly, pure destruction was unleashed.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    More than a million regr Space Bugs were wiped out instantly.


    As for the Unique Space Bug, it was injured even more after abo of targeted attacks. Onana did not hesitate seeing the current situation, with his suction still active, he pushed his flight system as he rapidly elerated.


    In no time, he arrived beside the Frigate.


    He threw his new test subject inside as the crew of the Frigate worked to subdue it, as for himself, piloting Berserker, he mounted on a port in the Frigate.


    There, he became akin to an Artillery Mech.


    "Retreat!" The Captain of the Frigate ordered.


    As they retreated, and even as all the Frigate''s weapons fired, settled on top the Frigate, Onana wasfortable as he also opened fire.


    With his overloaded weapon systems, each attack from him packed punch.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    They left destruction in their wake as they lifted off the. The only problem was, the already injured Unique Space Bug didn''t let them off so easily.


    Just before they escaped the''s gravity, the vengeful Space Bug gathered it''s 3 energies to unleash a mighty stprising 3 different energies.


    BOOM!


    The hull of the Unchartered was breached right after it escaped Titania''s gravity. Instantly, they were put in a difficult situation.

 Chapter 374 Rescue Mission

    The Giant Nak Fortress¡­


    The main strategypartment of the Golden Cicada, the gship of General Aztog''s fleet was upied as the General had another meeting with his highest-ranking subordinates after the first probe invasion.


    "It''s been 2 weeks since I sent Miyamoto to Darvis".


    "All in all, we''ve received only good news for the past 2 weeks".


    "Not only was he able to breach the fragile defenses of the defenders in Darvis, like nned, he was able tond directly close to the biggest Arcanite metal vein, giving us the perfect foundation to build on".


    General Aztog turned to look at Alexander. "You yed a big role in this".


    "Thank you, General". Alexander remained humble.


    The General turned to look at his remaining 3 Captains in this room. "From our first invasion attempt, we were able to deduce a lot of things".


    "Like expected, despite Legs'' unexpected rise, they are still bumpkins from a backwater, they have noary-grade defense systems".


    "This makes the initial parts of any invasion feasible".


    "My n is to take it one step at a time".


    "As proven through Alexander, the Superhumans of Darvis have a penchant of exceeding their limits when pushed close to the edge".


    "This time, I don''t want to make the same mistake".


    "This time, we''ll take it slow and steady, we have 10 years Afterall. With Miyamoto as our foundation, I expect to get a foothold in Darvis, building a stable supply of raw materials to sustain our fleet".


    "It is only when we''re truly sufficient that we can start a gctic war".


    "That way, we''ll be killing 2 birds with one stone".


    "Through their own resources harvested from their own, we''ll bring an end to their existence".


    "This n is only feasible because of theirck of knowledge".


    The Nak General smirked. "This is the price to pay for ignorance".


    Then, he suddenly turned to look at one of his Captains. "Jackie Lee, you''re next, you''ll be going to Darvis with a simr fleet configuration to help Miyamoto in elerating our development ns in Darvis".


    "From their reaction to the first invasion, I understand their ideology already. Since they are too weak to chase Miyamoto out, they instead want to learn more knowledge and beat us in a game of wits like thest time".


    He smirked. "This time, it won''t work".


    "I believe sending you will not spook them yet; it is about just right".


    He looked straight into his Captain''s eyes. "Lee, you and Miyamoto have 3 to 5 years at maximum to build the perfect foundation for us in Darvis".


    "On the 5th year, the Cataclysm starts".


    "Yes, General".


    "Alexander will apany you".


    A few minutester, another Spaceship configuration left the Giant Nak Fortress. Led by Captain Jackie Lee, a Heavy Cruiser, a Combat Carrier, a Logistics Ship, and a Mining Ship left the base of the Nak Navy to Darvis.


    About an hour after they left though, the long-ranged signal sensors that were installed all across this asteroid received a distant signal.


    It was a distress signal with a familiar frequency.


    Once the experts dissected it, they came to a conclusion. "The Unchartered has been stranded in enemy territory!"


    Shock spread through the bunch of engineers and analysts.


    "Which enemy?!"


    This was General Aztog''s reaction after he got the news.


    "Enemies apart from those in Darvis?!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Howe? This Star System is supposed to be an isted one!"


    The head engineer exined to the General. "That is what we thought whileing here, but who knows, anything can happen in space".


    "Perhaps, the same way we found it, another gctic force may have found the coordinates that lead here and they sent a fleet here like we did".


    "From the clues that we have, this is the most likely conclusion".


    "So we''re about to fight a gctic force?"


    "Great!" The General''s nose red in anger.


    "How is the state of the Champion?"


    "He''s alive". The head engineer answered firmly. "His crew are mandated byw to protect him with their lives, if he''s dead, they can''t return back to Nak Space, the best they can do is either kill themselves or remain in exile".


    "Releasing a distress signal means he is still alive".


    "We need to send a rescue force after them".


    "I know". General Aztog replied in a raised tone, he was incensed.


    First, Champion Onana refused to help them and now, the f*cking Champion was dragging them back. He had no choice though, in Nakw, a Champion was above ordinary soldiers, they must help if a Champion was in danger.


    They were mandated byw to do this.


    General Aztog suddenly stood up. "Law, Yeoh, you''re following me".


    "Yen, in my absence, you''re in charge of the base".


    "Yes, General".


    A few minutester, 5 Spaceships left the Giant Nak Fortress. Led by the gship Heavy Cruiser, the Golden Cicada itself, a Destroyer, 2 Combat Carriers, and thest Logistics Ship left the confines of the asteroid.


    After a few more minutes to gather speed while recycling their FTL drives, all 5 Spaceships entered warp travel and disappeared.


    ¡­


    The Unchartered was stranded in enemy space.


    After it''s hull was breached by the enemy Grade B Space Bug, the Unchartered lost the capability to safely enter warp travel.


    Left with no other choice, the Unchartered had to enter the sphere of one of the bigger floating asteroids that were relics of the past ancient war.


    Inside a makeshift mechanic workshop that was created just a day ago after crashing on this asteroid, in a protective suit, Onana carefully observed the Special Space Bug through the advanced sensors that were installed in the workshop.


    "Such an intricate internal design".


    "What a marvel of evolution".


    "These fellows are the true winners of the war that devoured the Roronoa Star System, their crazy genes made them among the few survivors".


    "Champion, more Space Bugs has been detecteding". The Captain of the Unchartered reported in a distressed tone.


    Without turning his head, Onana replied.


    "Like usual, defend".


    "Yes, Champion". The Captain deted and left.

 Chapter 375 A Win-Win Game

    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    In the small asteroid that orbited around Titania, Nak warriors shed with the aggressive Space Bugs in another skirmish that didn''t seem to have an end as the Nak warriors doggedly defended their territory and Spaceship.


    Attacks flew about in the air as both sides shed fiercely.


    It was already 2 days since the first sh, yet this showed no signs of subsiding anytime soon as more Space Bugs kept on being sent to this asteroid.


    After preventing the intruders frompletely escaping its territory, despite noting personally yet, the Grade B Space Bug did not shy from sending hundreds of thousands of its subordinates after the intruders every few hours.


    No warrior that had the privilege of being in Champion Onana''s crew was weak, in no time, not only did they help build Onana''s requested mechanic workshop, but they were also able to turn the asteroid into a defensive bulwark.


    In here, they defended till theirst stand.


    The only problem was. ''If reinforcement don''te soon, we''re screwed''.


    ''Also, for the past 2 days, we''ve only been fighting the regr Bugs''.


    ''The day more powerful Bugs are sent, our defensive bulwark will likely be breached and if the Grade B Space Bug deems it ok to make a trip here one day, unless the Champion intervenes, we''re as good as dead''.


    ''And like the Captain said, who knows if there are more than 1 Grade B Space Bugs inside Titania?''


    ''It''s a Radioactive Giant afterall''.


    Depressing thoughts like this constantly filled the mind of the warriors, but this did not hold them back from giving their all to defending the asteroid.


    Afterall, the life of their designated Champion depended on it.


    While they gave their all to fighting the Space Bugs though, Champion Onana focused on studying his test subject in his makeshift workshop.


    "What a marvel of natural evolution!" His eyes shone with awe and fascination, a trait that Legs would be familiar with if he saw it.


    The shine in his eyes was reminiscent of all mad scientists.


    "Have you discovered how they are so powerful?"


    "Not really". Onana turned to face his captain. "But through my Quantum Sight bloodline ability, I was able to look into the past into their history".


    "During the reign of the imperious Empire who ruled over the Roronoa System thousands of years ago, these Bugs were nothing more than ves. They were the ves of the reigning Empire race, tasked with doing menial jobs".


    "Their constant exposure to metal and radiation mutated them".


    "Not only did they grow overtime to develop metal exoskeleton, their immunity to radiation also increased by a lot".


    "This was why after the radioactive pulse caused by the Emperor pressing his suicide switch, they were the only survivors".


    "Of course, not all of them are as resistant, a lot of them died but the others who survived became much more powerful and resistant to radiation. Not just that, these powerful survivors gained the ability to absorb radiation to grow".


    "If I''m not wrong, from my conjectures, they probably also reproduce through radiation which exins their crazy crave for more energy".


    "It exins why I spooked them awake from their slumber; it was the starship. Perhaps, if I went in alone, my energy signatures would have been too weak to awaken them from their slumber".


    "Ummm¡­" The tall and skinny captain interrupted, he coughed. "Have you found any clues for us to defend against them more effectively?"


    "Not really". Onana replied nonchntly.


    Then his eyes shone again. "I believe with time though, I''ll truly understand their crazy bodies and potential, I believe this discovery alone is worth my decision to follow the Admiral''s directives".


    The captain sighed. "Like expected, you don''t even care about the consequences".


    "Why care so much about consequences when you cannot effectively change it? You''ll get old faster, just enjoy life".


    The captain walked away without replying.


    A few dozen minutes more, the skirmish finally came to an end as after expending their energy reserves, the Space Bugs returned to their to recharge, this was another trait of the Bugs that they''ve noticed.


    ''When will reinforcemente?'' The captain thought.


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    Unlike the Unchartered that spent weeks due to Champion Onana''s whims, moving around the floating asteroids and checking different remnants of history before going to Titania, General Aztog''s deep strike force was direct.


    It took them 3 days and 10 hours to arrive in Titania, and this was due to the interference in the higher dimensions caused by the radioactivity and the floating debris and junk that filled the Roronoa Star System.


    Since Champion Onana intended to go to Titania from the start, they arrived close. As soon as they arrived though, they were shocked.


    They saw over a million creatures charging out of the.


    [WARNING! SPACE BUGS DETECTED!]


    The Golden Cicada was an even better Spaceship than Champion Onana''s Unchartered, it''s powerful sensors and processors immediately detected the threat. General Aztog didn''t even think twice before giving orders.


    "Attack!"


    "We ask questionster".


    BOOM!


    The main cannon of the Golden Cicada opened fire, spreading an expansive wave of destruction that annihted more than 200,000 Space Bugs instantly.


    The Destroyer followed cue with the destruction as both Combat Carriers and Logistic Ship hovered behind the 2 frontier Batteships.


    "INTRUDERS?!" An angry voice reverberated inside Titania.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "ANOTHER INTRUDERS?!"


    "INTRUDERS!"


    "INTRUDERS!"


    "KILL!"


    Incensed by the sudden appearance of another intruder, the powerful Grade B Unique Space Bugbined all 3 of its abilities again before unleashing a mighty power st that prated the sphere of the outside and into space.


    [WARNING! INCOMING ATTACK DETECTED!]


    The Golden Cicada strengthened it''s shield on time.


    BOOM!


    The impact and vibration were felt throughout the ship.


    [15% Shield Integrity was depleted in 1 attack!]


    "What?!" General Aztog was horrified.


    "That is already Grade B power!"


    His eyes widened. "Is this what damaged the Unchartered?"


    At this same instant, the Golden Cicada''s A.Imunicated again.


    [Target Found: Unchartered!]


    [Asteroid #023424]


    General Aztog had no intentions of mingling with the remaining Bugs anymore after that attack. Without hesitations, he ordered his deep strike force away from Titania as they elerated towards the asteroid.


    A few hourster¡­


    General Aztog stood before Champion Onana.


    "Wee General".


    "Thank you, Champion".


    General Aztog looked at the specimen of the Space Bugs that just attacked them. "There are really strange things in the world, who expected a Space Bug species to secretly be hiding here?"


    "The world is indeed a big ce". Onana smiled.


    "The Unchartered is undergoing repairs now and will be FTL travel worthy again in at most 6 hours, then we can finally leave this dangerous frontier".


    "Why should I leave?"


    "I will¡­, umm, what?" General Aztog asked with wide opened eyes as the reality of Champion Onana''s words sank into his brain.


    "You don''t want to leave?"


    "No". Champion Onana turned to look at him. "And neither will you".


    "I want to thoroughly understand this Space Bug species, I have a hunch that understanding them will y a major role in my future progression as a super".


    "Did you know that they are cyborgs like me?"


    "Despite their extreme modifications and evolution, inherently, they still have a heart that pumps blood throughout their whole metal body".


    "It is an intricate bnce of organic and metallic elements that still battles me to this moment how it''s living, it is the wonder of evolution".


    "I want to study it".


    "And besides, my new ambition is Titania, it is a metal".


    "It''s too dangerous!" General Aztog was almost freaking out.


    "Where''s the fun if there''s no danger?" Onana smirked.


    He turned around and finallypromised. "I''ll help you take over Darvis, but before that, you will protect me here for 5 years as I engage in my research to thoroughly understand this species of Space Bugs".


    "In 5 years, whether I fully understand them or not, we''ll go conquer Darvis. While you fulfill your mission, I''ll start my ambition".


    "I will turn Darvis into my base".


    "Like I said, I''ve got a new ambition, Titania is now my goal".


    "After helping you conquer Darvis, in exchange, through resources from Darvis, I need your cooperation in creating a fleet that is powerful enough to defeat the Space Bugs and take over Titania".


    He turned and looked into General Aztog''s eyes. "You help me, I help you".


    "It''s a win-win game".


    "What do you think?"


    General Aztog thought. "I¡­"

 Chapter 376 Need For Speed And Urgency

    "Army Commander, another invasion force has entered our".


    Legs'' eyes widened in shock as one of the high-ranking Grade D warriors in his army reported this to him. "Inform Vice Commander Christensen to take charge of the army while I''m gone, I''ll be back".


    ''Another invasion force, what is their n?''


    Different thoughts and spections filled his mind about the reason for this 2nd invasion force but Legs did not let this make him stay idle.


    Legs dared not hesitate, he called for all his beasts.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ¡­


    You have activated active ability: Summoner Energy Maniption


    ----


    For the first time since getting Warp Prime, Legs got prepared to go to a possibly real battle taking every single one of his beasts along.


    All 4 of his contracted beasts and their Spirit Beasts were summoned.


    He would have loved Lucky''s presence but sinceing back from her trip outside Darvis, apart from urgent situations, she spent most of her time with her Fox buddies in random locations either in the Beast ne or the Elemental ne.


    "Army Commander, what of Uranus?"


    Legs paused; a picture of the mischievous little Titan shed past his mind. "Ehm¡­, shove him to Pugilist Master de, Vice Commander Heimdall and Vice Commander Nagakin will be apanying me there".


    In no time, 2 of his Vice Commanders were gathered before him as they tore the fabric of space open before teleporting out of the military base.


    Legs and his Vice Commanders were not the only ones that were rmed. After the first invasion attempt from the Nak warriors, Core Protector Daemon became determined to create a better and faster warning system.


    Daemon was determined to be a worthy sessor to the President.


    By augmenting the existing sensor machines of the Core Protection Alliance, and mixing it with his own Necromancy specialties, Daemon developed a fast-response system where he could send emergency messages out.


    This was possible even with heavy interference from the Nak warriors, Daemon already tried this out as he shed with Captain Miyamoto Chan frequently, using these skirmishes to learn more about his opponent.


    Norman may be dead but a lot of this crazy Elementalist''s mannerisms still rubbed off him even in death, this made Daemon a crazy war monger.


    He already shed with Chan enough to leave the alien Captain frustrated.


    Through his fast response system, not only Legs of the Nightmare Army was alerted, this emergency alert also got to high-ranking supers like the High Officials and the President.


    Just 10 seconds after the second advance fleet entered Darvis atmosphere, more than 10 Grade C Superhumans were already gathered in the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance.


    Unlike the first invasion attempt though, Captain Jackie Lee did not make an impulsive attack decision as he was already warned by Miyamoto.


    Knowing that 10 Grade C Superhumans were waiting for him below, he took the wait and see approach as his advance fleet gradually descended to the.


    "Mr. President, your orders?" Core Protector Daemon asked.


    "Stand your ground".


    President Shanks looked up at the descending Spaceships. "From what Legs exined, taking on a Battleship is not exactly apelling idea. We would have to pay a significant prize just to take one down".


    "For now, stand down". His eyes gleamed.


    "Unless they attack us first, we won''t attack. We don''t know why they sent another advance fleet but my hunch tells me it''s still to build their foundation".


    "They''re not yet ready for a full-blown war against us".


    "What this instead should prompt us to do is to elerate our ns".


    "Since they are intent on giving their best, we should give more than our best to bolster ourary defenses and give them enough resistance".


    No one objected to the n, so they just watched the enemy fleet''s descent.


    In no time, Captain Lee''s advance fleet descended to the surface beside Captain Chan''s fleet. Of course, perhaps as a show of intent, a powerful warrior radiating Grade C power levitated out of the fleet.


    While he did this, his Logistic Ship already went to work on building a war fortress simr to Chan''s war fortress, they were fortifying their fortress more.


    From what was happening, both defensive forts would be merged together to form a war fortress that was sturdier than the sum of it''s parts.


    Unlike Captain Chan with his ck hair that highlighted his yellow face, Captain Lee was a bald but his most prominent feature was his special energy.<novelnext></novelnext>


    He was clearly an Elementalist but his energy was a strange one.


    Only Legs recognized it as he narrowed his eyes. "An Elementalist who mastered maism¡­" He furrowed his brows. "Such troublesome opponents".


    Despite the tant provocation from the Nak Captain and the arrival of another enemy fleet, in the end, what mattered to the humans was that battle didn''t break out and the alien captain didn''t push his luck.


    But this action from their opponentsid bare the need for some attributes.


    "There''s a need for speed and urgency". President Shanks said as a troubled look came over his face.


    He turned to look at Legs. "Have you contacted them?"


    "I''ve sent them messages in advance, I intended to go 2 days from now but after this, I think it''d be more reasonable if I go today".


    "Good". President Shanks nodded. "I also found clues about our ancestors".


    "If my conjectures are right, their hideout is in the Arctic Zone".


    A few minutester, after helping to further bolster the defenses of the Core Protection Alliance headquarters, they all disbanded.


    Legs no longer hesitated, sending his other beasts to the beast ne, he rode Bran to the desert back to meet some familiar faces.


    It still felt just like yesterday to him but it was already months since hest met his friends from the desert tribes who he helped during the Clown Society rampage. Through Altan, he always kept constant contact with the desert.


    About an hourter, Legs was seated before Tribe Chief Kohama.


    Not just Tribe Chief Kohama this time, having been informed of his arrival ahead of time, all Tribe Chiefs from the 7 major desert tribes were gathered.


    This time, Legs was not sitting before them as a stranger and as a weakling, he was sitting before them now as an equal and as an honorary citizen.


    "The Clown Society was never the end to the threat to our lives".


    "It was just the prelude to something greater".


    "And now¡­, it is starting".


    "Clown was working under the whims of someone and now this someone is here, here to finish the job that they started".


    "I believe you all noticed when the giant metal infiltrated our from the skies, that is our enemy, that is a Battleship used by enemies to invade our and it is a demonstration of the disaster toe".


    Legs dropped a manual that contained most of themon knowledge about Battleships that he already prepared for them to show his goodwill.


    "To survive and protect our lives and the lives of our children, we need to stay united as a and fight as one against our enemies".


    "This is why I came to meet you all today".


    "The same way in the past you called for help and I came to intervene and help, I have nowe for help from you all too".


    Tribe Chief Kohama representing all the tribes did not hesitate. "A threat to the is a threat to us all, we cannot stay idle".


    "We will do everything that we can to help".


    Legs slightly bowed in gratitude. "Thank you, Tribe Chiefs".


    ¡­


    A sense of urgency seemed to have descended in Darvis.


    Even the civilians noticed it subtly as they all felt a sudden urge to finish their tasks faster. Under President Shanks'' rule, a lot of construction projects were on in a bid to turn the around and fortify it properly for the invasion.


    While the ones in charge of these constructions felt the urgency, pushing them to work faster, their President embarked on a mission.


    Deep in the night, as winter snow drizzled in the North, a warrior dressed in ck appeared as tracing through his calctions, he went deep into the North.


    Like in every other continent, after the apocalypse, there were death zones marked outside the human shelters that were heavily popted by powerful monsters. This night, the President of Darvis willingly entered a death zone.


    This was to further his quest to search for his ancestors.


    *****


    Hopefully, a 2nd and 3rd chapter ising


    Also guys, my WSA book will being soon, I hope to get your support, thanks once again for reading

 Chapter 377 The Old Monsters

    The blowing wind was fast and cold.


    ''Ist stepped into these bands centuries ago''. Shanks thought.


    ''Then, I was still hotblooded, willing to go every length to prove my strength''.


    ''Hehe¡­'' He chuckled in his mind.


    As he stepped deeper into the deepest and most unchartered regions of the North, the President of Darvis had shbacks to his youth. He remembered his youth when everything was so simple and he didn''t have to care so much.


    He remembered then when he didn''t have any responsibilities.


    Then, he could do anything and get away with it.


    With the royal family ruling the the way that they wanted, as a hotblooded Superhuman, he went out seeking adventures to prove his power.


    Of course, the hot-blooded Jon Stones started it. Back then when the Ancestors were still around, aiding the royal family, Jon Stones had no considerations about creating an organization then as he solely sought adventure.


    His achievement of being the first to kill a Grade C Beast in the territory of the Monsters spurred the others on, Shanks was among the others to follow in his footsteps. He remembered as he pitted his life against the beasts.


    ''Life was so simple then man''.


    ''Then, there was no Clown Society, no Presidential considerations, just me against the world, I miss then''. He sighed.


    Shanks'' memories were distracted though when he met his first beast.


    "HUMAN!"


    The gigantic Bear roared as soon as it saw the human.


    "This is my territory, die!"


    ''I missed this feeling, that feeling of my life always being on the line''.


    The same way that if a stray Grade C beast strolled into the human shelters, its life would be in danger from every side, the same way it was for a Superhuman swaggering deep into the territory of the apocalypse monsters.


    The constant danger everywhere stimted his primal instincts.


    Shanks'' first beast encounter here was a Grade C Beast.


    He was not deterred though, it only ignited his battle will.


    "Summoner Ability: Beast ne Summoning!"


    Instantly after the rainbow bridge opened, one of his contracted beasts charged out as riding the beast, he made short work of the gigantic Bear.


    A few minutester, his contracted beast was licking blood away from its lips, Shanks chuckled. ''The good old days''.


    While most humans in the slept, their President spent the night wandering into Monster territory. Every few meters, he met a beast that caused him to use arge part of his strength.


    After an hour of going deep enough, he finally disturbed the territory of an alpha. This time, just to save his ass, Shanks had to summon all 4 of his beasts.


    Despite the injuries that he sustained as he moved in, he never gave in to tiredness. ''The is in danger; I must find them''.


    ''Without their help, I doubt we stand a chance!''


    Motivating himself with this, he forged ahead.


    2 hourster¡­


    Bam!


    President Shanks was mmed against the ground as he coughed blood, 2 Vampire Blood Hounds attacked him. The synergy of both Blood Hounds was crazy as they used their unique abilities to counter all 4 of his beasts.


    In the end, after sustaining severe injuries, he barely escaped.


    After going deep enough, meeting a lot of powerful beasts and suffering severe injuries in the process, President Shanks finally saw light illuminating the darkness of the night from a distance. The light called out to him.


    Shanks did not hesitate; he crawled his way in.


    Bzzz!


    After what felt like a millennium to his brain, he woke up.


    Blink!


    As soon as Shanks opened his eyes, the first thing that attracted his attention were the bright light that were illuminating wherever this was.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "You''re awake?"


    Shocked, he inclined his head to the right only to see a human with a stocky build. This old man squatted before a metal object through which fire burned, and at this moment, he was paying attention to the cauldron that was on top the fire.


    Shanks sprang up to his feet.


    "Easy, you took a nap for 3 days". The old man chuckled.


    Shanks looked around him, this was when he discovered that he was in arge hall that was furnished like aboratory. The white background, the whiteb coats that all 3 of them wore, they all pointed to this.


    Yes, there were 3 old men in this hugeboratory hidden in the Arctic.


    As he looked at the remaining 2 old men, Shanks froze.


    "¡­!"


    Unlike the first stocky old man whose attention remained on his cauldron, the 2nd old man was studying alien machines in an enclosed workshop in theb as for thest of them, this familiar old man was attending to a herd of beasts.


    Seeing this man again after so long caused Shanks to tremble.


    Noticing it, the old man turned to look at him with a smile. "You''re seriously trembling? Hahaha".


    "Stop it!" Shanks trembled even more in embarrassment.


    The old manughed some more before finally speaking. "You''ve grown".


    Shanks'' lips shook, then he bowed. "Master".


    ¡­


    A few dozen minutester, they were gathered round the fire.


    "What is that thing called?" Shanks pointed at the metal through which the fire burned.


    "Hehe, it''s called a gas cooker".


    Shanks took a deep breath to internalize that even as he kept on thinking about everything that he just learned. "So you''ve known about the aliens before, why didn''t you inform us about them?"


    "The Kings would have never let us have our way". George, the old Pugilist who was one of the very first Pugilists in Darvis replied.


    "Deciding to go into seclusion to prepare for the aliens was not an easy decision, we literally sacrificed our whole lives for this". Enoch, the old Elementalist who worked on the alien machines added.


    "Yeah". Gorgon nodded. "It was not an easy decision".


    Shanks looked at these 3 faces again, though he wasn''t entirely familiar with the other 2 faces, he knew their names, they were literally his childhood heroes.


    These were the surviving old monsters of Darvis before his era.


    Gorgon looked at the burning fire. "We were originally 5, after discovering the aliens and seeing the situation of the, we came to a conclusion".


    "Unless we were prepared for it, we would never survive the aliens, they would run over our and turn us into ves in it".


    "This was why we sacrificed our lives to n and prepare for the sh".


    "After centuries of preparations, we came to our different conclusions, Maignan thought the clue was getting to understand our opponents. This was why he decided to be the first Superhuman to take the trip to space".


    "It''s been over 2 centuries since west saw him".


    "As for Ash, she decided that our only hope of survival was by taming all the apocalypse beasts in our and turning them into allies".


    "We told her it was an impossible task but she was stubborn".


    "I believe Absolute Zero got her". Gorgon''s face briefly turned sad.


    "Who''s Absolute Zero?" Shanks asked.


    "The strongest monster and ruler of the monsters in the North, she upies a special ce in their ranks as she is one of few Primordial Beasts from the apocalypse".


    At this point, Shanks already asked a lot of questions and he already got a lot of answers but he was not satisfied, he finally asked the ultimate question.


    "So, after so many years, did you people arrive at a n to annihte the aliens?"


    "¡­" Silence first reigned for more than a minute.


    Gorgon threw a piece of paper into the burning fire. "I¡­"

 Chapter 378 Preparations For The Cataclysm

    "You must be Legs; it is nice to meet you". Gorgon had a bright curious smile on his face as he shook the hand of the once in a lifetime genius.


    Gorgon''s curiosity clearly had no limits as he tantly observed Legs'' face like he was an interesting test subject, he stroked his hands delicately.


    Then he looked deep into his eyes like he was looking for some mystery.


    "Bing a Grade E Summoner like any normal Superhuman".


    "Getting ckmailed by your twin brother''s instructor".


    "Being sent to a dangerous ind to die yet you managed to strive. Not only strive, you led criminals into one of the most dramatic and unexpected escapades in the history of the".


    "Disying battle experience that exceeds the level of a 15-year-old".


    "Showcasing intelligence that is too fictional to be true".


    "Outwitting Superhumans who are literally decades older than you".


    "Being able to read the future, ying Norman like a kid, matching and outwitting him at his own game".


    "Are you a Prophet? Can you see the future?"


    He did not let Legs answer. "When faced with the most overwhelming of odds, doing the impossible and proving the quote that impossible is nothing".


    "You literally became a God of War in the battle of Hellfire Mountains".


    "I keep on watching that footage everyday and I''m still baffled".


    "How did you manage to do it?"


    "Is this a trait exclusive to only once in lifetime geniuses like you?"


    "Damn, you prevented 3 of us from making the most dramatic entry ever,ing like the knight in shining armor to save the when it needed old monsters like us the most".


    "I''ve never felt old before but seeing your achievements, sigh¡­" He rubbed his nose and sniffed. "I feel f*cking old man".


    Gorgon grabbed Legs by the face and looked deep into his eyes in an inquisitive manner. "Who are you?"


    "Tell me kid, how did you do it?"


    "Are you a God?"


    "¡­"


    By now, Legs was already bbergasted.


    "Ahem¡­" Shanks coughed. "Master, can you please snap out of it?"


    "I must know the truth, are you really a God?"


    The next moment, one of the 3 old monsters took a step forward.


    Thud!


    ? His leg hitting the ground sent ripples everywhere. His eyes zed like a furnace as he looked straight into Gorgon''s eyes.


    "Honor is very important". He said seriously.


    "Do not embarrass me". He warned.


    "Hehe¡­" Gorgon chuckled as he removed his hands from Legs'' face, he shook his hands nonchntly. "You''re too serious George".


    "Someone can''t y with you?"


    They all chuckled before going inside the Presidential Vi.


    A few minutester, they were seated inside arge hall alongside the other High Officials of the as they were about to start the meeting.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "I have to admit, you''ve done a lot since bing the President". Enoch sincerelyplemented him.


    "If there were no aliens, I''m sure you would have made Darvis a paradise given just a few decades, it''s a pity".


    This time, President Shanks became the middleman between powerhouses of the different eras as he introduced the old monsters to the High Officials.


    After that, the old monsters finally proposed their solution.


    Gorgon went first. "I can''t really say it''s my n since I mostly adapted it from Ash''s n".


    As he started speaking about the fate of the, Gorgon''s face turned serious. "I call my n Operation Absolute Zero".


    "Absolute Zero is the Primordial Alpha of all Wild Beasts in the North. Her own strength is not her greatest trait, her greatest trait is the incredible ability tomand every single wild beast in the North like an Emperor".


    "Thest time I checked, there are up to 5 Upper rank Grade C Beasts in the North alone, this is a sizeable force against any opposition force".


    "After years of studying her and her abilities, I was able to create a Special Ability. This ability enables me to have a minute control over Absolute Zero for a short amount of time, this time is enough to mobilize her army".


    "It''s not enough to annihte the aliens but it''s enough to make an impact in theing cataclysm, I also hope to master my ability more as time goes".


    After he was done exining, everyone present fell into silence.


    His words may have been short and to the point but they were powerful. The ability to control a Primordial Monster like Absolute Zero was a crazy one.


    This alone already justified the President''s decision to seek out the old monsters. After Gorgon spoke, George spoke next.


    "During my centuries of seclusion seeking ways to save my, less of my focus went to my personal strength, more of it went to potion and pill making".


    "After centuries of research and constant concoction, I have attained the rank of a Grandmaster Alchemist".


    "If a full-blown-wide war starts, through my pills and potions, I can increase the overall strength of the by at least 40%".


    "40%?!"


    Now, this was shocking.


    "Yes". George nodded. "That is my most conservative estimate, if I improve more before the cataclysm, I can increase it to 50% and at best 60%".


    "That¡­, is crazy". Eleanor was amazed.


    ''A Grandmaster Alchemist!'' Legs was practically drooling.


    As an Alchemist himself, he knew how hard it was to improve. But through a master figure with more proficiency than him, through his game interface, Legs was confident that he could learn a lot from George before the cataclysm.


    After George''s reveal, Enoch spoke. "I spent all my time on understanding alien technology and machines, and though it''s limited, I got some benefits".


    "I understand alien technology more than anyone here".


    "I believe with time, I may be able to build some of their machines".


    "Also, I can easily identify weaknesses in their Battleships and other war vessels, I believe this is a valuable ability in theing cataclysm".


    Though its utility was limitedpared to Gorgon and George''s life works on fighting the aliens, Enoch''s approach was still valuable for theing war.


    Another thing was, Enoch''s approach reminded Legs about something.


    ''Bran!''


    ''Bran''s Space Lord Special Ability!''


    Legs'' eyes shone. "I believe I have a means to have a closer look at the overall force of the enemies, this will aid a lot in our war preparations".


    All eyes turned and focused on Legs. "How?"

    [Overall Control Level: 69%]


    ----


    After fusing with Bran this time, Legs experienced a more drastic transformation than before as his aura became more oppressive. Void and Space powers fluctuated around him as the airspace was squeezed.


    At this moment, he was still in the Presidential Vi but this time, he and the others who attended the meeting were in the wide field in the vi.


    Apart from Bran''s incredible talent and his damage potential, there was another reason that attracted Legs to this beast to make it his contracted beast the first time, this was due to Bran''s Void and Space powers.


    As 2 of the most exotic and mysterious powers in the super world, most times, talented beasts with these affinities could cook up a lot of crazy abilities.


    The Space Lord Special Ability was exactly one of these crazy abilities.


    For a long time since the threat of the Cataclysm began, Legs had forgotten that Bran had an ability that could enable him travel through space. It was not until Enoch''s reveal that he finally remembered.


    Once he revealed the truth to them, they were not only amazed, they all immediately chipped in their support for him to embark on this crazy adventure.


    One of the greatest uncertainties and disadvantages of the humans in Darvis despite their preparations was not knowing the power of their enemies.


    The Naks sent 2 advance fleets to the already, but without knowing their overall forceposition, it would be impossible to thoroughly n for the right scenarios that they were to face in theing Cataclysm.


    This way, they would always be at the psychological disadvantage.


    This was why this moment was very pivotal.


    "Are you ready?" Gorgon asked with a serious look on his face.


    Legs looked up at this old Summoner. "Yes".


    Legs took a deep breath. "I think I''m ready".


    "Then do it".


    "We''re rooting for you". President Shanks chipped in.


    Legs no longer answered, instead he spread his gigantic ck wings. Before lifting off though, he turned onest time to look at President Shanks.


    "If anything happens to me, Christensen is my sessor".


    "Until I get back, tell him to take care of Uranus".

    When he appeared again, he was already far up in the skies as he pped his gigantic ck wings which propelled him higher at an incredible speed.


    In a few minutes, he turned into a tiny dot in the skies before finally disappearingpletely into the envelope of the gray clouds.


    "What an incredible young man". Gorgon sighed.


    "I''m d I lived to see him".


    The others kept quiet, but they silently concurred with him.


    ¡­


    -----


    You have activated Special Ability: Space Lord!


    ----


    After a long and tiresome flight, Legs finally activated the Special Ability as his wings seemed to be supercharged with energy. A silvery gray energy engulfed the wings as with this additional power, he pped them onest time.


    Whoosh!


    Thatst p was all it took, Legs exceeded Darvis'' escape gravity.


    When he regained his orientation, he was already floating in space.


    ''What a chaotic space''. This was Legs'' first impression.


    Apart from the endless ck void that extended before him, it was the countless asteroids and space bodies floating that attracted his attention.


    ''This destion was caused by 2 warrings? That''s crazy!''


    Apart from the destion and sorrow exuded by the sight, Legs was also fascinated. For the first time since his reincarnation, he was back in space.

    [This attribute is only disyed and useful when traveling through Space!]


    [1 MP= 1 SE]


    [Space Energy: 86,212/91,400]


    ----


    Legs easily did the maths himself. ''The more time I spend in space, the more Space Energy I expend''.


    He no longer hesitated; he pped his wings again. Apart from allowing him to exceed a''s escape gravity, the Space Lord Special Ability also enabled him to be able to effortlessly glide through space.


    Soon, Legs was on course to the asteroid serving as the base of the Nak fleet belonging to General Aztog. He knew about this from his knowledge that he retained from his past live.


    ¡­


    [Space Energy: 75,150/91,400]


    The journey through space to the Giant Nak Fortress expanded roughly 10,000 Space Energy. Legs could finally vaguely see the huge asteroid from afar.


    He dared not move closer having witnessed the incredible range of Spaceship sensors in his previous life, he was ready to stay prudent and just probe.


    He calcted his remaining Space Energy to determine how much time he had, then banking on that, he created his strategy on the spot.


    -----


    You have activated Special Ability: Eyes of a Thousand Void Ravens!


    ----


    After bing a Grade C Void Raven, Bran''s Eyes of a Thousand Void Raven special ability evolved again, increasing to a thousand void ravens.


    Instantly after Legs activated the ability, a thousand void ravens materialized before him. Hiding his real body behind an asteroid, Legs sent the thousand Void Ravens out as they started flying towards the Giant Nak Fortress.


    Legs tried his best not to make it too tant, controlling his alternate selves to fly forward while trying their best to use the floating asteroids as cover.


    He did his best and closed the distance a lot but this ability was not foolproof.


    He was caught.


    Wom! Wom! Wom!


    rms red across the base of the Nak Navy as they went into high alert.


    Boom! Boom!


    Without hesitation, the Battleships opened fire on the ravens that were flying towards them. As more of his alternate selves started dying at a rapid pace, Legs decided that this was enough, he activated another ability.


    -----


    You have activated Special Ability: Eyes of Truth!


    ----


    Instantly, all the Void Ravens gained the eyes of truth.


    Instantly, literally the distance and all the asteroids blocking the way became see-through screens to them. Through the eyes of the surviving Void Ravens, Legs was finally able to thoroughly observe the enemy territory.


    Like he expected, the Nak Navy already transformed the asteroid into a giant floating war fortress, there was no hopes of attacking and seeding here.


    After observing this, he turned to their troops then he frowned.


    ''That''s smaller than I remembered from the game''.


    ''Besides, where is their gship?''


    Legs'' expression turned heavy in his hide spot as he observed. ''Where is the Golden Cicada? It''s literally their trump card, has it also gone to Darvis?''


    ''No!'' He rejected the thought.


    ''If that was the case, I would have met them on my way here''.


    Despite not seeing the fullposition of the opponent force that he came for, Legs was satisfied with what he got as he thoroughly counted them.


    ''2 Battleships, a Heavy Cruiser and a Destroyer''.


    ''8 Combat Carriers''.


    ''No more Logistic Spaceship''.


    BOOM!


    Legs was rmed as a ncing shot from the Heavy Cruiser hit the asteroid where his main body hid.


    ''They''ve not discovered me yet but they''re already scouring everywhere for the real culprit, they''ll find me soon''.


    ''Besides, my Space Energy is dwindling''.


    ''I can''t stay behind anymore''.


    Legs got prepared to leave but before he could, he threw onest nce at the Battleships as an idea came into his mind. ''That could work too''.


    He no longer hesitated, pping his massive ck wings, he floated away.


    The Battleships were unable to discover the real culprit.


    Legs escaped.

 Chapter 380 The Battleship Plan

    "2 Battleships and 8 Combat Carriers, that''s a powerful force". Gorgon frowned as he looked at the Summoner who just returned from his space trip.


    "That''s powerful but I don''t believe that this is their full force".


    All the faces in the hall turned towards Legs again. "Exin".


    Legs already thought up an exnation ahead of time. "Think about it, the fleetposition I just called is powerful but it stretches the line between the margin of their strength and ours too close".


    "The Naks have always banked their invasion on their vastly superior strength in the form of their Battleships, their knowledge and technology".


    "Do you really think they''ll arrogantly decide to annihte us through a campaign they call the Cataclysm without being absolutely sure of wiping us out?"


    "To me, from what I''ve observed, they act only when they''re sure of victory".


    Gorgon rubbed his chin in thought.


    Legs continued. "In my opinion, they''ve not invaded to annihte us yet not because they don''t have the power to do so, but because they don''t want to suffer too many losses in the process of doing so".


    "That is why they decided to build a foundation in our".


    "That way, the invasion and eventual cataclysm would be easier and less costly. They intend to beat us using our own resources".


    "They want to wipe us off the fate of the universe with as little losses as possible. It sounds crazy but that''s my observation and I believe it''s true".


    "This is why I don''t believe what I saw is their overall force".


    "They should have at least 2 more Battleships".


    "This is the only way to validate their arrogance and confidence".


    "You may be right". President Shanks finally remarked in a serious tone. "We need to be prepared for the worst-case scenario".


    "That way, even if we''re wrong, it would still be to our benefit".


    After this, the talk was pretty straightforward. After thanking Legs again for his invaluable job of spying on the enemies for them, they started funing President Shanks'' n for the for the next couple of years.


    "In 5 years at most, 2 years preferably, we need to be prepared for the Cataclysm". President Shanks said as he looked at all of them.


    "That is why I called all of you together. If we work together to unite and pull our collective strength against the enemies, I believe that we stand a chance".


    After a few more talk, this meeting was finally drawing to a close but at the very end, Legs raised another topic.


    "After making the trip to their main base, I suddenly had a thought as I observed their powerful weapons of mass destruction".


    "What if¡­, we make our own Battleships?"


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    Everyone looked speechlessly at him like he was a fool.


    "Are you serious?" Gorgonughed. "If that was possible, your really think we would have been stumped for so long despite centuries of preparations?"


    "To create a working Battleship, a mechanic with a lot of knowledge is needed and like we all know, there are no mechanics in Darvis".


    Legs remained calm. "What if I say I can make a mechanic avable?"


    "¡­!"


    Now, they were not just speechless, they were rmed.


    Legs took a deep breath to organize his thoughts before replying. "Originally, I''m not inclined to tell all of you about this but due to our current circumstances, I decided to let you in on a secret".


    "Actually, I am a member of a secret gctic organization".


    "¡­!" They were even more rmed now.


    "A secret gctic organization?" Shanks asked, slightly horrified and shocked.


    "Yes".


    "Since when?" This time, Gorgon disyed the most calm.


    "Since 3 years ago".


    Gorgon nodded, then he suddenly slumped on the chair where he sat as he heaved an exaggerated sigh of relief. "Woah man, that''s a relief to my soul, at least I don''t feel as inferior anymore".<novelnext></novelnext>


    Heughed. "If you''re part of a secret gctic organization, it exins your rapid growth that is unprecedented in the history of this".


    "But¡­" His expression turned cheeky. "How does it feel like?"


    "Huh?"


    "To be part of a secret organization".


    Legs coughed. "Ahem¡­, as you may well know, I''m not allowed to tell you more about my organization but what I can tell you is this, I may have means to contact mechanics from others who can help us in our preparations".


    "You mean the legendary Mechanic Supers?"


    "Yes". Legs nodded with a smile.


    "I don''t know if they can build Battleships but it''s worth a try".


    This time, respect for him increased even more among the higher-ups.

    ''Those old geezers were surely impressed''. Legs smiled.


    The meeting didn''tst much longer, after a few more general talks among them, they finally finalized the steps for their preparations for the cataclysm.


    Since the leaders already concluded, their overall ns were simplified into simple tasks to those beneath them as preparations kicked off all across the.


    The entered a state where everyone focused on efficiency.


    It was like the cataclysm would start any moment.


    While others did their preparations, Legs was not idle as he used the time to contact John and Edgar while exining his rational to them.


    It was troublesome but he knew exactly what to lure their help.


    "I will pay with Arcanite metal".


    "We have tons of it".


    "Deal!"


    The days moved fast like the rolling pages of a book as preparation continued for a time and after a few weeks, it was time for the gray world gathering again.


    Like usual, Legs went to the gray world ahead of time.

 Chapter 381 Negotiation

    Bzzz!


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit". Sophia''s cheerful voice reverberated across the gray world, injecting life into the gloomy world as the other members also extended their greetings to their leader.


    Today was the 2nd gray world gathering since Legs recruited Edgar.


    Since there were no new members to be introduced this time, the gathering kicked off instantly as the members revealed information that they got.


    Of course, among the Superhumans that were from Darvis, most if not all their preparations were based on the happenings in the.


    At this moment, the happenings were all rted to the Cataclysm.


    Compared to the first time when Legs just dragged them to the gray world, they were all now powerful and influential Supers in Darvis. Every single one of them had ess to information, now they exchanged it all.


    Most of this information was what Legs already knew about as a High Official of the so he didn''t pay as much attention to it.


    It was when Edgar spoke that the attention of everyone was attracted.


    Despite it being a month already since thest gathering, Edgar could never forget it. Afterall, it was in being introduced to this secret gctic organization that he was pushed into making a drastic decision.


    "There is nothing exciting going on in Austere".


    "The leaders of the Hunter Society remain as rigid as ever, content with not changing their approach and sending more hunters to their death for a hopeless cause that won''t change unless they change their approach".


    "Most of all though is that I''m still being sought after".


    Edgar grinned. "The feeling of being a rebel, the rush of putting your life on the line at every moment, the realization of having no allies, feeling danger at every step, this is a new sensation that I''ve never experienced before".


    "I like it though".


    "Like they say, no pain, no gain".


    "To save my, I am willing to do anything".


    "To save the humans of Austere, I will do anything".


    He finally smiled. "I also want to use this medium to advertise my qualities".


    He stole a nce at the Almighty Hermit, and seeing no adverse reaction, he continued. "As a Grade D Psychic, I already mastered the Advanced Psychic Knowledge, Psychologist which makes me proficient at treating the mind".


    "As warriors, there are always moments when we drown in self-doubt".


    "Mental problems gue warriors like us daily".


    "Healing your mental problems is a great way to break your bottlenecks more easily".


    He smiled. "When you are affected, don''t ever hesitate to seek my help. All I want in return is payment of equivalent or more value, preferably Arcanite metal".


    "¡­"


    He grinned. "Well, if there''s any other way that I can help, don''t be shy to ask, I am always avable".


    Edgar''s words came out a bit silly but this was due to his new circumstances and the pressure from desperation. As a rebel now in his, he had no one to rely on for resources, he only had himself to sustain himself.


    This was why he was ready to do anything to sustain himself.


    After a few more cross-checking words from the other members of the gathering to confirm a few things, the gathering progressed to the transaction phase, now this was where The World took over.


    Most of the members of the gathering already knew that the World was High Official Legs, they instinctively had great respect for him and saw him as the gbearer of the Hermit and the most important member of the gathering.


    The World did not beat around the bush, this was negotiation time.<novelnext></novelnext>


    He looked at John. "I already spoke with you once about it, have you made your decision? Can you do it? What are your terms?"


    John took a deep breath before replying.


    "Inherently, I am a Virtual Mechanic which means I deal mostly with the virtual aspects of the mechanic ss".


    "I can hack into a lot of servers of my level, but creating Spaceships, this is a task that is far above me".


    "Besides, I doubt any Technician Mechanic of my level can build one either. The knowledge to grasp to start building Battleships is a Cutting-Edge Knowledge".


    "Only Grade A Mechanics have easy ess to them".


    "Any other Mechanic below that grade with ess to the Battleship Theory is either the son or daughter of an influential and filthy powerful Mechanic".


    "Most of them are existences who I cannot meet, but¡­" He rubbed his nose. "Through a special mission that I once took part it, I happen to know a Technician Mechanic that meets theter requirements".


    John paused to organize his thoughts. "After talking with you the other time, I thought a lot about it. E is a greedy one, she''s greedy for growth and sess".


    "I believe if you offer enough Arcanite metal, she will be willing to help".


    "Another factor that aids you is her greed for growth. For Technician Mechanics, they only grow stronger by building new machines, building a brand-new Battleship is one way to supercharge their growth to crazy levels".


    "All we need to do is find her a blueprint of a Battleship that she can take as a temte to create her own unique blueprint".


    "Whatever she has ess to now is restricted by her father''spany. She is obligated by contract and oath to never use thepany''s blueprints outside, so if she is to help, she will be starting from scratch".


    "And of course, thest requirement is if she can be transported to Darvis during the time while she works".


    "She can''t work on a new Battleship in Konot IV, she''ll be discovered".


    "¡­"


    The World thought carefully through his options. "Transporting her to Darvis through the gray world is not a problem".


    "The main problem is her prize".


    "I will need to speak to her first".


    "Ok, do and get back to me".


    With that, the gathering continued. More transactions took ce but it was mostly negotiations between the other members with Edgar or John, these 2 had specialties that the others didn''t have any other way to ess.


    Due to that, they had an edge in the negotiations.


    After a long gathering where they all left satisfied, the Hermit finally addressed them onest time before the gathering finally came to an end.


    A dayter after the end of the gathering, John prayed to the Hermit.


    "E agreed".


    "She is yet to give her prize".


    "Before deciding, she demands for a Battleship blueprint sample".


    After listening to the message, only one thought dominated Legs'' mind. ''There''s no other way, it''s the Nak Navy again''.


    This time though, he was not about to go alone.


    "John, I need your help¡­"

 Chapter 382 Special Mechanic Ability- Virtual Hacking!

    Konot IV, Vic Tech Mech Museum¡­


    "¡­"


    There was an awkward silence in this luxurious museum as 2 Mechanics observed the bunch of powerful machines that were on disy.


    This Mech Museum mostly disyed war mechanic suits that had already served their use to their owners, raked in a lot of battle merits and legends, and due to wear and tear or the death of their owners, they were retired here.


    Standing together, the tall and skinny man looked like an awful misfit against the beautiful and perfectly shapeddy who stood beside him.


    She suddenly pushed her long red hair to the side with her right hand.


    "Won''t you say anything¡­?"


    She barely asked when he pointed at 1 of the mechs and spoke.


    "That is the Mach Anthony III".


    "It is one of the rare retired machines of a Grade A Battlefield Mechanic". He turned to look at her. "The Mach Anthony III is one of the most famous and legendary mechs in Konot IV, it has won a lot of battles alongside its pilot".


    "One of it''s greatest feats is stalling an enemy fleet singlehandedly for an hour, buying the time that the Konot IV navy needed to regroup and fight back".


    "That is just one of it''s many legendary feats".


    "It is even more fascinating and legendary when you know it''s created by the same Mechanic who rode it to war".


    "Most Battlefield Mechanics in Konot IV leave the work to the Technicians like you, but this was an exception, this guy made this legendary mech himself".


    "Do you know who I''m speaking of?"


    "¡­" E was speechless.


    The next moment, she scowled. "You¡­!"


    "Of course I know the Mechanic who created it, I know him since I could read, how can I not know him? Who the hell does not know him?"


    Her face soon turned into a fearsome frown. "We''ve not met physically for over a year, we finally meet due to you deciding not to run away like a rat anymore, and this is what you say? Is that the best you coulde up with?"


    "Uhh¡­" John scratched his head.


    "We''re married". She said through gritted teeth.


    John shuddered.


    "Shhh!" He shushed her while cing a finger to his lips as he looked around like his life was suddenly in danger. "Your father may hear".


    "But we''re marr¡­"


    "It was simply a contract marriage!" John grabbed her and hissed.


    "You scammed me. You paid me to marry you so you could call off the arranged marriage that your father prepared. It worked, I got paid, you didn''t marry a jerk, we both won and I thought we could go our ways".


    "Why are you tormenting me?"


    "Why are you following me like a Shinigami?" His voice lowered, it seemed he would cry any minute as he looked at her eyes, searching for an answer.


    E was caught a bit off-guard at first, but she soon huffed and ced her hands on her hips. "It''s the duty of the wife to torment the husband of course".


    "¡­"


    ''Did you hear anything I just said?'' John cried in his mind.


    ''I knew it was a huge mistake to seek her out!'' Hemented.


    Despite the difficulties, John was finally able to cate her with time.


    This was when she spoke. "I saw your message, you intend for me to follow you to this foreign to get the blueprint together?"


    "Yes". John pleaded with his eyes.


    "You''ve always wanted to build your own style of Battleships but your father is intent on indoctrinating you in the family ways. With this outlet, you can let your passion flow, be the Shipwright and Mechanic you always wanted to be".


    "As for me, I get majority of the Arcanite metal".


    "You''re happy, I''m happy, it''s a win-win mission to me".


    "Hmm¡­" She rubbed her chin. "So, this strange, you''ve not told me much about it, where is it and what''s the name?"


    Darvis". That is all I can tell you.


    "Seriously? You can''t tell your wife more?"


    John rubbed his temples, he felt like he was going crazy. "You''ll understand everything after we arrive there".


    She finally nodded reluctantly.


    After going to a dark hidden alley, both Mechanics suddenly disappeared.


    ¡­


    E widened her eyes after she discovered the truth from John and the strange Summoner as she looked at her universe tracker.


    [BEEP! You''re in uncharted space!]


    She looked at John. "Are you¡­, for real?!"


    "Yeah". He rubbed his cheeks in a cheeky manner.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Count me in!" She yelled. "Building Battleships, secret gctic gatherings, a stuck in a ruined star system, a cataclysm, damn, John you actually wanted to enjoy all this adventure without calling your wife?"


    "I would have killed you on our first night!"


    "You''re lucky!"


    "¡­" Legs was speechless.


    He expected a lot from E but not this. She was far different from what he expected, yet, his greatest shock of all was that she was a Grade C Technician Mechanic, this woman was a literal force of nature when ites to creation.


    Since she already showed interest, everything else was easier. After exining everything to her, when night came, both Mechanics wore ck.


    Silently, they infiltrated the base of the Nak Navy in Darvis.


    Infiltration was not easy, but this time, the Nak''s knowledge was used against them. Knowing that only 3 main sses were avable in Darvis, all their detection methods were focused on stopping means from these 3 sses.


    They never expected enemy Mechanics to suddenly appear in Darvis.


    With the help of E''s machines, the infiltration was smooth as they arrived at the core of Captain Chan''s war fortress. There, John finally had ess to the server. With E covering his back, John cracked his hungry fingers.


    ''It''s been long baby''. He kissed his fingers.


    ''Let''s show what we''re capable of in another''.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Virtual Hacking!"


    His eyes glowed with power.


    The next moment, his fingers roared away at the virtual floating keyboard.


    Despite theplicated programming of the war fortress'' main server, John bypassed all the precautions, flexing his specialty as a Virtual Mechanic who mostly hacked enemy spaceships as he hacked his way into the server.


    [ess to Database Gained!]


    [Extracting Data¡­, please wait¡­]


    Once he was in, everything else was easier.


    John easily got the blueprints of all the Spaceships that were currently in Darvis, not just that, he got additional information as bonus.


    When he was satisfied, he finally disconnected from the server.


    He didn''t just disconnect; he filled his pathway into the server with redundant elements that would effortlessly wipe off all traces of his ess here in case the Mechanics of the Nak Navy werepetent enough to check to here.


    This was John''s specialty; he did an excellent job.


    "Good job". Emended him as they both made their way out.


    They were not caught; they effortlessly made their way out of the base.


    ¡­


    Inside the strategy room of the Core Protection Alliance, Daemon had an amazed look on his face as he looked at the blueprint that was being projected.


    "So, this is how a Battleship looks like on the inside".


    President Shanks and all the other Superhumans were also amazed.


    John and E''spetence shocked them, but what shocked them more was Legs'' ability to bring Mechanics from an entirely different.


    Hearing it was one thing, seeing it was another thing entirely.


    Their Favorability for him rose again on the spot.


    Legs turned to look at E. "So¡­, can you build a Battleship for us".


    She looked at the blueprint as a professional look came over her face. "Using this as my inspiration, I can but it will be much harder than normal".


    "Why?" President Shanks asked.


    "This is not my where I have hundreds of assistants from my father''spany, in this, I have only John to assist me who has little to no knowledge about building Spaceships".


    "Essentially, I am working alone on this project".


    "I can build a Battleship for you but it will take time".


    "For my first building run, I project 3 years if every condition is met".


    "My subsequent constructions can be reduced to 2 years or even a year".


    President Shanks looked at all the other Grade C Superhumans before focusing back on her. "Do it".


    "Something is better than nothing".


    "Ok". E''s voice became excited.


    "John, set a state-of-the-art Mechanic Workshop for me".


    "Huh? Why me?"


    "Do it!"


    John sighed and went to work.

    Inside his training chamber in the headquarters of the Nightmare Army, Legs sat cross-legged as he observed his virtual interface.


    The head of a powerful Mutated Boar was lying at his feet.


    He just arrived from another expedition deep into Beast territory.


    ''Finally, I did it''.


    ''Mutated beasts are extremely rare but I still managed it''.


    His virtual interface lit up.

    Toplete this Series Mission, Legs had to grind tirelessly for 5 years. Especially the 4th andst mission, it was only after he leveled up consecutively and became a Grade C+ Summoner that he was finally able toplete it.


    Only the Primordial Monsters from the apocalypse were Grade C+ Beasts with Supreme Talents, killing a single one of them was like climbing heaven''s gate.


    After targeting the Wind Primordial of the Western Continent, he refined his skills and strategy for a full year before finally taking the powerful beast on.


    Despite his meticulous preparations, he suffered a lot of injuries but in the end, it was worth it, he killed it.<novelnext></novelnext>


    ''No pain, no gain''. He grinned.

    ''Every increase in strength is worth it for the apocalypse''.


    ''We have to be prepared; I have a feeling it won''t take longer now''.


    Standing up, he took a quick bath in his training chamber before finally leaving. He didn''t just leave, he teleported straight to the desert in Tribe Chief Kohama''s territory where the hidden mechanic workshop was constructed.


    Arriving, Legs beheld the gigantic construction base.


    After verifying his identity, he entered inside. Inside was not busy despite it''s ridiculouslyrge size, only 2 Mechanics were diligently working inside.


    "Hey High Official!" Both Mechanics waved at him.


    "Hey John, E, thanks for the work".


    "No worries". E grinned.


    At this moment, at the parking lot of this enormous mechanic workshop hibernated 2 brand new Battleships, both were Destroyers. This was the culmination of E and John''s work for the past 5 years.


    Both foreigners already became the closest foreign allies of Darvis. At this moment, E was already working on her 3rd passion project.


    This time, with more hands-on experience, she decided to go all the way, she was now working on realizing her vision on constructing a Heavy Cruiser.


    ''President Shanks has really done a lot; we''re far better prepared now''. Legs thought as he walked around the workshop.


    At this moment, President Shanks was already on his 2nd tenure.


    Under his credible leadership, the grew by leaps and bounds, developing at a rapid pace. With hispensations, John and E were always fired up to keep on working on developing the''s defenses.


    Now, Darvis finally had a measure ofary defense.


    Making use of Arcanite metal and other special metals detected in the over the years, powerful turrets were built at strategic points all across the that would severely hinder an invading force from barging in with impunity.


    Most of these turrets remained hidden from the Nak Navy to keep their vignce lowered, but they were already impressed by the little that they saw.


    While Darvis developed, the Nak Navy base in Darvis didn''t stay idle either as they used their advantages to multiply their strengths.


    They detected and hoarded more Arcanite metal veins. And with Alexander, ck Master Einstein, Din, and the other''s help, they were able to slowly but gradually spread their influence across the.


    At this moment, their underground warehouses were already filled with enough usable materials that could easily sponsor a gctic war.


    All they waited for now was the order from General Aztog.


    This was the problem, since 5 years ago after General Aztog led a detach fleet to go after the Nak Champion, Onana, they no longer heard from him.


    All they could confirm was that he was not dead, but any attempts atmunicating with him were stopped by interference. Unsure of what was going on, they didn''t take the risk to go to Titania.


    They simply waited while hoping for the best.


    While they waited, they tried their best to multiply their advantages so that when the General returned, it would be easier to start and end the cataclysm.


    That afternoon, Captain Chan had another talk session with Captain Lee.


    It was while they discussed about random topics that theirmunication device beeped; it was a long-ranged call from the General.


    Without hesitation, both Captains epted the call hail at the same time.


    "General, Captain Chan speaking!"


    "General, Captain Lee speaking!"


    Slight buzzing sounds went through due to the interference but it soon cleared up, then General Aztog''s deep voice reverberated out.


    "This is my order¡­"

 Chapter 384 Ambition

    "This is my order¡­"


    "Captain Lee, you are now the regional Commander in Darvis".


    "Yes Sir". The Elementalist epted the orders.


    Then, the General''s voice addressed thest of the 2 captains.


    "Captain Chan, have you enchanted weapons before?"


    "Depending on the weapon Grade Sir".


    "Do you have what it takes to enchant a Grade B Weapon?"


    "Precisely, do you have what it takes to enchant Champion Onana''s best mechanic suit?"


    Silence reigned for a few seconds as the captain thought and evaluated his options, then he finally replied.


    "I''ve never enchanted a war machine of that Grade before but I have the relevant Mage ss knowledge. I believe if given enough time, I can do it".


    "Good, this is your new order".


    "You are to take one of the active Destroyers in Darvis and set course for Titania at once!"


    "Hand over all your pending duties to Captain Lee".


    "Also, remember to bring anything that would aid in your enchantment".


    "Yes, Sir!"


    With a slight buzzing sound, the call finally disconnected.


    Instantly, both Captains looked at each other as a lot of things went through their minds. They were mostly relieved that their General seemed well and fine despite contacting themst 5 years ago.


    Their focus went to their new orders.


    "Did they discover something valuable in Titania?" Captain Lee asked.


    "Probably". Captain Chan rubbed his chin. "It is the only exnation to why they spent thest 5 years there without contacting us much".


    "And I have a hunch, this discovery must be rted to metals".


    "That is the only reason a mechanic of the Champion''s level will be tied back down. Besides, he said it himself, he''ll only act once he is fascinated by something".


    Captain Chan looked at his counterpart. "Well, it seems our buddy time spent together in Darvises to an end here".


    "Whatever you''ll do there, goodluck". Captain Lee congratted him.


    15 minutester, arge humming sound reverberated followed by a spike in the energy reading machines of the Core Protection Alliance as they were put into high alert. They watched as the Destroyer levitated.


    They watched as it elerated without attacking them.


    Whoosh!


    In just a few minutes, the Destroyer exceeded Darvis'' escape gravity.


    ¡­


    Giant Nak Fortress¡­


    On arriving at the Nak Navy base built on the asteroid, everything was already set in ce for Captain Chan. Clearly, General Aztog already contacted them ahead of time to arrange things on his behalf.


    Captain Chan simply came here to take a team of assistant Mages.


    Just a few dozen minutester, the Destroyer moved again.


    After cycling it''s FTL drives appropriately, the Destroyer jumped into warp travel as they disappeared from real space the next moment.


    ¡­


    Champion Onana''s Fortress¡­


    This was what they finally decided to call the asteroid that they settled on after Champion Onana''s decision for them to spend 5 years here studying the fantastic Space Bugs that were bred in Titania.


    At this moment, Onana was once again stuck in his mechanic workshop.


    With delicate machinery on his hands, he dissected and pried the body of a Special Space Bug open as he carefully examined the tiny details in its creation.


    Standing at the door to this workshop, General Aztog watched quietly.


    Having spent 5 years alongside the Champion stuck in this asteroid, General Aztog already grew used to him. Like Champion Onana said, he only acted when he was fascinated by something.


    The only problem was, when he became fascinated by something, it became literally impossible to draw him away as he became obsessed with it.


    For 5 years, Champion Onana was holed up inside this mechanic workshop.


    ''This guy¡­, this diligence¡­'' General Aztog never stopped being amazed.


    He finally walked closer. "It''s 5 years like we agreed already".<novelnext></novelnext>


    "I know".


    "I''ve already contacted the Mage; he is on his way".


    "Ok". He nodded simply as he focused on his test subject.

    [Analysis Complete!]


    [Overall Grade: Grade C!]


    [Reason for abnormally high attack power: Metal Sample #022]


    "Just as I thought". Champion Onana muttered with a smile.


    "Huh?"


    Champion Onana finally raised his head to look at the General. "For a long time, I''ve already deduced that the Special Space Bugs that I met with Psychic and other powers are mostly ssified as Grade C beasts".


    "The only inconsistency was their attack power".


    "Their attack power is above any other Grade C beast that I have met".


    "To deduce the secret, Iunched targeted research into this".


    He smiled. "I finally discovered their secret, if I am not wrong, the Unique Space Bugs are the only Grade B beasts in Titania".


    "The reason why the attack power of the Special Space Bugs is so powerful is because of a metal that they integrated in their body through evolution".


    "This metal". He picked a silver metal and showed it to the General.


    "This is the main reason for their outstandingly high attack power". His voice became excited. "Like I thought, Magic Mithril is just the surface metal, there are much more cool and interesting metals underneath".


    "This is my ultimate goal; I must get them". His eyes gleamed.


    "Besides, there are other metalbinations in their body that enable processes like theirbined blood attack and the super attacks".


    "All these metals already evolved in their bodies over time".


    "Like this metal". He picked up another metal silvery white metal that emitted wisps of white mist. "I call it the Psycho Metal; it is what grants the Special Space Bugs Psychic powers".


    He grinned. Over the years, we''ve already scoured the Radioactive Giant numerous times and we''ve confirmed that there are only 3 Unique Space Bugs".


    "3 Grade B Beasts, that is still a ridiculously strong force but it''s manageable".


    "Once I upgrade my mechanical suit, Berserker, I believe we can take them on". He clenched his fists. "All I need now is that Mage".


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    The Destroyer came out of warp travel to meet a fierce battlefield in space.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Captain Lee was shocked as he discovered familiar Battleships tangling fiercely against a horde of Bugs that floated in space. Instantly after they detected the new threat, the angry Bugs also flooded towards the Destroyer as he reacted.


    "Activate Defense Systems!"


    "Retaliate!"


    The crew of the Destroyer went to work.


    In just a few seconds, it gathered power as it''s main weapon armaments roared to life, bashing the hundreds of thousands of Bugs with long-ranged firepower as a lot of them were wiped out.


    The battle raged for dozens of minutes as some of the Battleships got damaged while millions of Bugs were wiped out.


    After the battle close to the asteroid was over, the remaining Bugs finally retreated while the Battleships also retreated into the asteroid.


    As the Destroyer drifted close to the asteroid, Captain Lee received a call.


    He saw a familiar face appear through the projection.


    "Yeoh! It''s been 5 years".


    "Yeah". The female Captain smirked.


    "The Champion is waiting for you, don''t keep him waiting".


    "Got it".


    Captain Lee finally descended into this base.

    >In the Berserk State, Berserker''s durability and energy reserves increases by 1000%


    "¡­" Captain Chan stood speechless as he looked at it.


    Standing before the formidable war machine, Captain Chan felt intimidated.


    Berserker was a bonafide Grade B War Machine.


    Though the mechanic suit''s A.I didn''t go to the extra mile of showing it''s configuration to the smallest stat and details, the little that Captain Chan saw already gave him a small idea about the destruction machine that was before him.


    During his early years, before being recruited in the Nak Navy and bing a full-fledged War Mage, he started as an enchanter who enchanted weapons for quick cash.


    Berserker was without doubt the greatest mech that he had encountered.


    While Captain Chan observed and admired the intimidating war machine, Berserker suddenly made a move as through it''s A.I, a virtual projection came out.


    The projection was that of a small Racoon on sses.


    This was the virtual representation of Berserker''s A.I.


    "I am Berserker, nice to meet you Captain".


    "I hear you''ll be working on my upgrade".


    "¡­" For a few seconds, Captain Chan was caught off-guard.


    It took some time before he reacted. "Oh, nice to meet you".


    The next moment, he took his time getting to know the Mech suit''s A.I. He did this until the door of the workshop opened again as Onana entered.


    "Champion". He stood up to wee him respectfully.


    "No need for the pleasantries, this time, you''re my work colleague".


    Champion Onana found a chair to sit. "So, what do you think?"


    "Berserker, Magic Mithril, everything, what do you think?"


    "Can you do it?"


    Captain Chan turned to look at the Champion. "I have never dealt with a machine thisplicated, but¡­" He clenched his fists. "I don''t want to give up on this challenge, I believe I''mpetent enough to do it".


    "I believe too". Champion Onana smiled.


    That set everything in motion.


    ¡­


    5 days of intensive preparation and design workter¡­


    "Berserker''s new design ispleted". Champion Onana said with a satisfied smile on his face as he gazed lovingly at the virtual projection.


    Before any physical mech creation process, mechanics first designed their mechs virtually. This way, they could fully test the performance of their virtual mechs before creating it physically to avoid waste of resources.


    All the tests were done already, and this new mech was good to go.


    Onana looked at the virtual screen again.


    ? ~BERSERKER II~


    [Upgrade Completed]<novelnext></novelnext>


    [Capacity limit of Power Reactor has increased by 5%]


    [Durability has increased by 30%]


    [Defense has increased by 20%]


    [Offensive Capability has increased by 45%]


    [NEW! 3 Magic Abilities Detected!]


    [Magic Ability: Absolute Domain!]


    >Absolute Domain: When activated, magic energy that is stored inside the Magic Mithril over the body of the mech is drawn upon to form an absolute domain that can defend against all types of attacks<


    >All attacks below Grade D are negated


    >Grade D attacks have their damage reduced by 80%


    >Grade C attacks have their damage reduced by 65%


    >Grade B attacks have their damage reduced by 10%


    [Magic Ability: Absolute Domain- Wear and Tear!]


    >Domain- Wear and Tear: When activated, the Absolute Domain gain dposition properties. Metalponents and opponents will experience far faster wear and tear and dposition, organic opponents feel their body breaking down like they are being affected by a deadly virus<


    [Magic Ability: Dimensional st!]


    >Dimensional st: When activated, you gain the ability to open a portal to a random hostile dimension, gathering its deadly energy. This deadly energy can be harnessed to unleash dimensional sts with different effects depending on the dimension where it is harnessed from<


    These 3 magic abilities were Captain Chan''s strongest abilities and trump cards. Originally, he had other abilities in mind but as he worked on the mechanic suit, he became engrossed in the work as it suddenly became a passion project.


    Stoked by his passion, he bestowed his 3 strongest magic abilities through the Magic Mithril on Berserker.


    The Mechanic Suit clearly appreciated it as its virtual configuration hummed with power. Seeing the upgraded virtual version of his mechanic suit, Champion Onana knew that he already won the jackpot.


    He already achieved part of his objective foring to Titania.


    He patted Captain Chan. "Thank you for your help, Chan".


    "Onana always pays his debts".


    "I will forever remember this favor of yours".


    "As for now, let''s fabricate the physical version together".


    Captain Chan did not hesitate, together, stoked in the passion already, they forgot about sleeping to rest as they got themselves embroiled in the fabrication.


    To upgrade Berserker, they had to break his current configuration downpletely. It was after the destruction that creation finally started.


    It took 2 whole days for the Mechanic and Mage toplete their work.


    [Physical Update Sessful!]


    [limatizing to new parameters¡­, please wait¡­]


    [limatization Complete!]


    HUM!


    Berserker pulsed with power as it''s eyes glowed red.


    "¡­" Captain Chan and Champion Onana did not talk for a long time.


    Standing motionless, they simply stared at the work that they created after 2 days of non-stop fabrication. Berserker still more or less looked the same apart from the Magic Mithril that now reced it''s previous armor.


    The change was not focused on the physical though, it was inside it.


    Focusing his mind, Onana could clearly feel the change of his battlepanion. He closed his mind and basked in it as subtle changes happened in his mind, a Mechanic''s progression was intricately tied to his machines.


    This was the same way a Summoner''s progression was tied to his beasts.


    With his eyes closed, Onana experienced a feeling of sublimation.


    If he had a virtual interface, he would have been notified that he was currently leveling up multiple times from the experience gained from this fabrication run.


    He was not the only one who benefited though, Captain Chan also benefited.


    With his eyes closed, this Captain felt the aura of his creation.


    Basking in Berserker''s new aura, his power also grew.


    They both felt total contentment.


    When Champion Onana finally opened his eyes, they gleamed. "It is time".

 Chapter 386 Inter-Racial War!

    A virtual projection slide appeared above the strategy room.


    The virtual projection depicted the deadly Space Bugs that the Nak warriors had grown ustomed to for the past 5 years. After years of fighting against them, the normal warriors already grew to call them Swarm Space Bugs.


    Unlike them though, Onana already got a professional name for them.


    [Specie: Radiation Space Bug!]


    [Types: Common Space Bug; Special Space Bug; Unique Space Bug]


    ¡­


    [COMMON SPACE BUG!]


    [Grade: E to D]


    [Body Configuration: 98% Mechanical; 2% Organic!]


    [Biological Organs: Brain and Heart!]


    [Attack Types: Short range and long range!]


    [Short Range: They mostly attack relying on their sturdy metal skin for ramming attacks, their deadly metal legs for kicking, and their even more deadly teeth for cutting.]


    [Long Range: Blood Combination Attacks!]


    >After years of basking in the energy and radiation from the Giant Star, the Radiation Space Bugs mutated theirst surviving biological organs into radioactive weapons of mass destruction. Their blood contain radiation<


    >Their Blood Combination Attacks work by channeling this radioactive blood through their heart. Then their brain connect them to each other, forming such an incredible synergy where they unleash their attacks at the same time<


    [Weakness: Intelligence!]


    [The Common Space Bugs are mindless canon fodder, careful maneuvering can enable a normal warrior to dodge theirbination attacks. Killing them is much easier since they are simple-minded Bugs.]

    [SPECIAL SPACE BUG!]


    [Grade: C]


    [Body Configuration: 95% Mechanical; 5% Organic!]


    [Biological Organs: Brain; Heart; Organic Power Reactor; Organic Mana Core!]


    [Attack Types: Short range and long range!]


    [Special Space Bug Types: Psychic; Laser; Pugilist; Commanders!]


    [The Psychics through their organic mana core learn the basics of psychic energy which they fune over years of hibernation and development!]


    [The Lasers through their organic mana core convert universal mana into pure aggressiveser energy which they st at enemies!]


    [The Pugilists channel all their mana into developing their metal bodies into the sturdiest and strongest vessel of destruction!]


    [The Commanders direct most of their development towards their brain. But unlike the Psychics, they focus on learning how tomand Common Space Bugs in battle. In the right circumstances, they are the most dangerous!]

    [RADIATION SPACE BUG FACTS:]


    [1. They reproduce through radiation.]


    [2. After birth, they age and grow through radiation.]


    [3. Their powers grow through radiation. The Common Space Bug is their starting point. With a bit of luck and enough radiation, Special Space Bugs are born from themon ones, including Unique Space Bugs.]


    [General Weakness: Lack of Radiation Energy!]<novelnext></novelnext>


    ¡­


    Champion Onana looked round at every upper echelon of his base that was present. "This is everything that I managed to get about the Radiation Space Bugs after years of observing and studying them as test subjects".


    "Over the years, one of my main goals was knowing their overall threat level. With 81 Grade C Bugs and 3 Grade B Bugs, we stand no chance against them but we can win if we use our brain more and y our cards right".


    Titania is a big radioactive giant".


    "Like we''ve observed over the years, every single one of the 3 Unique Space Bugs is extremely territorial, they do not tolerate another in their territory".


    "Also, not all the Special Space Bugs respect the Unique Space Bugs".


    Onana smiled. "I think this is a loophole that we can exploit".


    He raised a hand. "Divide and conquer¡­, that is my n".


    "The upgrade to my Spaceship confirms my evaluation of this metal, this is an absolute treasure that we cannot afford to leave behind".


    "In a few days, we''ll beunching an attack on Titania".


    "Focusing only on the territory of one of the Space Bugs, with our overall force and my newly upgraded mech suit, I believe we have what it takes to win".


    "If we don''t take risks, improving faster than thepetition bes a matter of luck and luck is not exactly a power that I sympathize with".


    "So long we can get a foothold on this, with the incredible metals and resources waiting to be mined and exploited inside it, all we need is time and with our technology, we can easily exceed the level of the Bugs and wipe them out".


    "This is the overview of my n".


    "What is left is to simplify it to be taught to your warriors".


    Captain Aztog didn''t object so everything continued amiably.


    ¡­


    3 dayster¡­


    The fleet now under Champion Onana''s lead lifted off the asteroid.


    The Golden Cicada, General Aztog''s gship led the fleet from the front as its gigantic metal body moved through space. Directly behind it was Champion Onana''s Frigate, the Roman Rider.


    While behind both Spaceships were the others, the Destroyer, 2 Combat Carriers, and the Logistic Spaceship which lingered at the back of the formation.


    As soon as all the Spaceships started moving, the Roman Rider went to work.


    This state-of-the-art Frigate deployed various means as a heavy interference that scrambled literally every spying sensor from afar was activated.


    Bzzz!


    Another annoying aspect of the Radiation Space Bugs was their simrities to machines. They had sensor systems and all that but with this simple act from the Roman Rider, it negated most of the sensor methods of the Bugs.


    For minutes, the fleet was unhindered as they closed to distance to the radioactive giant. In no time, they were before it''s outermostyer.


    As soon as they arrived at the range of the orange radioactive corona, they changed formations. The Frigate retreated while the Destroyer went forward.


    Then the next moment, with the Golden Cicada taking the lead, this armada of Battleships dove, leaving themselves to the influence of the Radioactive Giant''s gravity as they rapidly elerated into the.


    Once they passed the 3rdyer and crossed to the 2ndyer, the Space Bugs finally discovered them but by now, it was already toote to stop them outside.


    BOOM!


    A sonic boom reverberated as the Golden Cicada prated to the 1styer of Titania first, the Heavy Cruiser emitted steam due to the speed at which it dove into the yet it''s shield easily cushioned all the damage.


    Chirp! Chirp!


    As they angry Space Bugs started making a lot of noise like chaotic birds, General Aztog remained stone-faced as he ordered his crew.


    "Attack!"


    The Heavy Cruiser pulsed with power as its main cannon took aim.


    It took aim directly at the identifiedir of one of the Unique Space Bugs, then without hesitation, the Heavy Cruiser unleashed its payload of devastation.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    This attack kick-started an inter-racial war!

 Chapter 387 Awakening

    The main cannon of the Golden Cicada shook as it unleashed its payload.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    From the muzzle of the main cannon, the solid projectile wasunched out at a crazy momentum even as lethalser energy followed it.


    The Golden Cicada''s main cannon made use of an expensive new Spaceship technology thatbined both physical projectiles andser energy in one cannon.


    The Space Bugs saw it but they could do nothing to stop it.


    With theser energy clearing the path before the projectile, every Common Space Bug that came in contact with it was evaporated from the extreme heat. Not even the defensive measures of the Special Space Bugs was able to stop it.


    It went through all the obstacles straight at it''s intended destination, their of the Unique Space Bug.


    This was when a powerful shriek filled with Psychic energy sted out.


    "SCREECH¡­!!!"


    Following the loud shriek was a powerful silver barrier created out of Psychic energy as the projectile finally collided against it.


    The sound was like exploding dominoes as both powers ground hard at each other. They soon canceled each other out but the gigantic Unique Space Bug that appeared reacted first as it channeled it''s Magic energy.


    "!@#$%^&!"


    It chanted crazily in an unknownnguage again.


    The next moment, a pitch-ck rod with a pointed end like ance appeared as under this Unique Space Bug''s control, itunched back at the Heavy Cruiser.


    The Golden Cicada didn''t even react, this was because it had backup.


    Boom!


    Another sonic boom reverberated as the other Spaceships broke through the barrier of thestyer of this Radioactive Giant, finally entering its sphere.


    The Destroyer was at the front as without wasting time, this Battleship channeled it''s energy before unleashing all it''s weapon payloads.


    While it''s secondary turrets bombarded the surface of the that was their target, it''s main turrets and cannons focused on strategic targets through the Battleship''s elite sensors as they unleashed disaster on the Space Bugs.


    Space Bugs died like flies.


    The Destroyer still didn''t pay attention to the Unique Space Bug''s attack though, this was because it was not the Bug''s opponent, the Bug''s opponent was someone else, it was Onana.


    Whoosh!


    The Roman Rider followed directly behind the Destroyer.


    Even as its many weapon armaments targeted the, about to unleash disaster, the highlight was not on the Battleship though. Rather, the spotlight was on the intimidating mechanic suit that mounted on its metal hull.


    At this moment, this mighty mech suit was wielding it''s Cutting-Edge Guass Cannon, itsrgest and most destructive weapon by a margin.


    With Berserker''s legs maically stuck to the Battleship''s hull, Champion Onana was free to carefully direct his aim as he focused on the Unique Space Bug.


    "I am your opponent". He pulled the trigger.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Champion Onana did not just intercept the Unique Space Bug''s counterattack, with his Cutting-Edge Cannon, he bombarded the Space Bug with lethal attacks as it was instantly isted from the main battle.


    The damage potential of the Gauss Cannon was just too ridiculous, every impact sent rippling shockwaves through the metal exoskeleton of the Unique Space Bug as it''s internals was rattled.


    With him taking care of this menace, the rest of the fleet was unleashed.


    Champion Onana gave hisst orders. "Make it snappy".


    "You heard the Champion". General Aztogmunicated from the Golden Cicada. "The Space Bugs are already crippled since their leader is isted, alone, they are no match for us".


    "Let us steamroll through them".


    "Let us show them the power of the Nak Navy".


    "Attack!"


    The Golden Cicada and the Destroyer led the invasion deeper as they unleashed more firepower, this was a demo of the cataclysm that would befall Darvis when they were finally ready to face them.


    The Space Bugs were wiped out at a crazy efficiency.


    The only reason why they were not being wiped out faster were their Special Space Bugs. The sheer number of these Special Bugs proved a menace, their numbers made them powerful enough to pose a threat to the Battleships.


    This battle didn''t just involve the Battleships though.


    After taking their time since, both Combat Carriers finally reached the perfect range as the warriors boarding themunched out.


    Mid-air, they formed their battle formations as this army of Supers descended on Titania and shed furiously with the natives. Most of their attention was focused on stopping the momentum of the Special Space Bugs.


    Attacks flew around everywhere, painting a ck and gray picture of metal and red background of blood as Naks and the Space Bugs shed.


    In just 15 minutes since the invasion started, the Nak Navy already leapfrogged forward, getting a strong grip over the battle as the overwhelming favorites even as more Space Bugs were ughtered.


    After an hour, more than 9 million Space Bugs were already ughtered.


    At this stage, the highlight returned to the high-level battle.


    "Mechanic Ability: Rifle Transformation!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "New Form: Assassination Positron Rifle!"


    "Mechanic Ability: Resonance Shot!"


    "Special Berserker Ability: Overload!"


    HUM!


    Berserker pulsed with power as Onana''s resonance with his mechanic suit leapfrogged. Drawing from this abundant power, the mech suit amplified the energy of the Cutting-Edge Rifle as it finally unleashed its payload.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    This was the attack that drew an end to the high-end battle.


    After struggling for the past few minutes not just due to Onana''s strength, mech upgrade, and myriad weapons, but also due to his preparations, the Unique Space Bug was already dangerously exposed before this attack.


    When the attack started, from afar, Onana pounded the Space Bug with his extremely powerful Cutting-Edge Guass Cannon.


    He gave the Space Bug an additional treat with his Missile Warheads.


    When he entered medium range, he separated from his Frigate and dove closer alone. Berserker''s upgraded parameters helped a lot in his risky dive, his mech suit was much sturdier now and it''s attacks hit harder.


    In medium range, Onana brought out his Cutting-Edge Shotgun and the Cutting-Edge War Discs. Through both weapons, he sted the Space Bug.


    Before he got to close range, the Space Bug was already severely injured.


    On getting close, he activated the Absolute Domain and Dimensional st abilities. Even as the Absolute Domain increased his defense while the Dimensional st made the Space Bug reel in pain, he finally unleashed his finishing move.


    Slotting back both weapons, he finally brought out his Cutting-Edge Transformable Rifle. Activating Berserker''s Overload ability and his Mech Resonance Ability, the Sniper Rifle unleashed the finishing shot.


    The st of positive electrons went through thest defense that the Unique Space Bug could put out. Knowing it''s incredible vitality and physiology, Onana aimed for the brain as the st ate into this Space Bug with impunity.


    It let out a soundless roar of pain as it finally fell into inactivity.


    That one shot killed everyst ounce of resistance from the Bug.


    Onana did not let it die though, this was prime test subject and he was prepared. Activating an add-on ability on his Mechanic Suit, a cryo tube was ejected as it instantly enveloped the Space Bug and froze it in ce.


    With that, the greatest threat was taken care of.


    Onana looked around this chaotic battlefield, then he smirked. "Like I expected, the other Unique Space Bugs are too arrogant to intervene".


    He grinned. "My n is working".


    He looked up. "Now!"


    On receiving his new orders, finally, the Logistic Ship moved for the first time. Going through the hole that was already drilled through the millions of Space Bugs, it finally arrived on the surface of Titania.


    Champion Onana''s n was to build his base and territory here.


    Without wasting time, the crew of the Logistic Ship went to work.


    Numerous machines were brought out as they drilled through the surface of the. As the Logistic Ship drilled through the metal, building the foundations to erect a sturdy ship, Champion Onana suddenly shuddered.


    For a strange reason, he didn''t feel like the Logistics Ship was drilling through a at all, he rather felt that it was drilling through a living thing.


    ''What strange feeling is this?'' He shuddered.


    No one else felt it, he only felt it due to his keen instincts as a Grade B Super.


    "Stop!" He ordered but it was already toote.


    A subtle vibration suddenly spread through the Radioactive Giant.


    "¡­!" Champion Onana froze in shock.


    "¡­" The others also finally noticed that something was wrong.


    Crack!


    The suddenly spotted a deep crack in it''s middle, the elite sensors of the Battleships were able to detect such a ring change.


    ''What is going on?!''


    They were shocked and surprised as spections filled their minds.


    CRACK!


    Then, a voice finally reverberated.


    "TU, KU, LU¡­"


    The voice reverberated and it was loud like thunder.


    "IT IS NOT A THOUSAND YEARS YET SINCE I SLEPT".


    "WHY ARE YOU WAKING ME UP?!"


    This powerful voice sounded annoyed.


    "¡­!!!"

 Chapter 388 Awakening; An Ancient Horror

    Everything was going as Onana nned.


    For 5 years, apart from spending his time observing and studying the Radiation Space Bugs, he also nned on how he would take over this.


    Originally, he thought he would need General Aztog''s whole fleet to take over the but the more he knew about the Space Bugs, the more measures he devised in which he could easily take over the.


    The Radiation Space Bugs were powerful and numerous but they were divided, this was their greatest weakness to him.


    ''Divide an conquer, that is the ultimate strategy to steamroll through them''.


    Once he arrived at the general n, he also spent time funing it for months before he prepared it to the General. In their estimates, nothing would go wrong and they were right, the battle drew to a close in less than 2 hours.


    After the upgrade to his core battlepanion, Onana''s strength increased by leaps and bounds and was why he dominated the Unique Space Bug so convincingly. Once this Bug was taken care of, taking care of the others was easy.


    At the moment the Logistic Ship started building them a base, the n was officially executed sessfully, what they didn''t expect was a strange voice.


    "@#$$%^*&!"


    The voice spoke the unknown tongue of the Space Bugs but through a strange mechanism, this voice was tranted into themon tongue to them.


    "TU, KU, LU¡­"


    The voice reverberated with power.


    "IT IS NOT A THOUSAND YEARS YET SINCE I SLEPT".


    "WHY ARE YOU WAKING ME UP?!"


    Far away from this battlefield, 2 specific Space Bugs also heard the voice. As soon as they heard it, both Unique Space Bugs shuddered as electricity seemed to course through their body, the next moment they prostrated.


    "@#$^&!"


    "Godfather!"


    They didn''t just do this, they also deactivated the flow of energy in their bodies as their bright red energetic bodies became an inactive gray.


    Noticing this through Berserker''s sensors, Onana''s eyes widened.


    ''I can barely differentiate them from the surface itself now''.


    He was shocked. ''This is the initial state that they were when I just dove into this. It was only when I mined for the Magic Mithril that they awoke and became active''.


    The intelligent brain of this Mechanic whirred into action.


    ''This voice, who is the owner?!'' Tension filled his body.


    ''Just the voice alone made them all prostate and return to inactivity''.


    ''An existence that can have this much authority over them¡­''


    ''It is not a thousand years since I slept, why are you waking me now?'' He easily made the connections. ''Is he the reason why they were all inactive before?''


    ''Who is he? Is he their leader?''


    ''Does that mean there''s a more powerful Space Bug here?''


    "OTHER SURVIVORS FROM THE RADIATION?"


    "WHO ARE THESE?"


    By now, Champion Onana already got his cue. At times, his instincts pushed him into braving danger to search for hidden benefits like it did when it led him to diving into Titania whichter proved to be beneficial.


    The only problem was that this time, his instincts told him nothing good, his instincts only screamed death at him. ''Not good''.


    Champion Onana increased his mech suit''s speakers to their maximum level.


    He roared. "ESCAPE!"<novelnext></novelnext>


    "LEAVE THE PLANET!"


    "LEAVE PLANET TITANIA¡­, NOW!"


    He reacted fast even as he ordered as he channeled more of Berserker''s energy into the flight systems of his mech as the mech rose up with speed.


    The other Spaceships obeyed his orders and tried to levitate and leave the, but not all of them were as fast, the unknown existence was faster.


    CRACK!


    Arge part of the metal cracked open as a gigantic metal tail came from under the. This tail was so fast that it left afterimages behind, in less than a fraction of a second, it arrived before the Logistic Ship.


    It was the only Spaceship yet to lift off the surface as it''s crew scrambled to board it again, now, it was doomed.


    BAM!


    The initial impact squeezed the side of the Spaceship.


    The next moment, the gigantic tail curled around the body of the Spaceship like a snake as it applied mechanical force and squeezed. Cranking sounds reverberated, in a second, the Logistic Ship became a doomed wreck.


    Nobody inside it survived.


    "¡­"


    Shock spread through the Naks who were present to witness this scene.


    "Do not slow down!"


    "Escape!" Onana roared as panic appeared on his face for the first time.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    With a great amount of metallic particles flying everywhere, the owner of the voice finally burst out. This was a kilometer long Space Bug Monster, with 6 metal legs, and a long metallic tail that was 3 times longer than the body.


    Whoosh!


    The tailunched upwards at the escaping vessels.


    The Golden Cicada''s superior speed enabled it to elerate to the highest level, exposing both Combat Carriers and the Destroyer. They all activated their defenses but it didn''t matter, the one that the tail caught suffered.


    The Combat Carrier jerked as the tail punctured through all it''s shields and thick hull armor, the next moment, it exploded.


    Boom!


    The Combat Carrier and all its inhabitants died on the spot.


    "¡­" Shock once again spread through the Nak Navy force.


    Hearing its voice alone only give them a small impression.


    But this time, seeing it''s huge body and it''s tail in action again, including feeling it''s aura, Champion Onana and hispanions finally knew what ancient horror that they awakened.


    "A-A Grade A Space Bug?!"


    ''What have I done?'' This question lingered in Champion Onana''s mind.


    The gigantic red eyes of the Space Bug watched them fly for a few seconds then it finally spoke again.


    "I DON''T KNOW ALL THE RACES BEFORE THE RADIATION, BUT NONE OF YOU ARE AMONG THE SPACE-FARING RACES BEFORE THE RADIATION".


    "IF YOU ARE NOT, IT MEANS ONE THING".


    The Space Bug''s huge eyes exploded with power.


    "INTRUDERS IN MY TERRITORY!"

 Chapter 389 Danger!

    "FOR A LONG TIME, I THOUGHT WE WERE THE ONLY SURVIVORS!"


    The enormous Space Bug''s tone changed. It no longer showed shock and animosity, it instead showed a giddy excitement that chilled the Nak warriors.


    "FOR A LONG TIME, I THOUGHT WE WERE CURSED TO LIVE IN THIS DAMAGED STAR SYSTEM AS THE LONE RACE".


    "I NEVER EXPECTED INTRUDERS TO COME ONE DAY".


    "SO, THE GOD OF MACHINERY ACTUALLY EXISTS".


    "HE ACTUALLY ANSWERED MY PRAYERS!" The enormous Space Bug''s voice rose up a crescendo to show his excitement.


    "I PRAYED EVERYDAY FOR SUBJECTS, SUBJECTS OTHER THAN THOSE FROM MY RACE THAT I CAN RULE AND LORD OVER AS AN EMPEROR".


    "THE REIGN OF THE PREVIOUS EMPEROR IS OVER; NOW IS MY TURN".


    "TODAY, MY PRAYER IS FINALLY ANSWERED".


    "TELL ME, THERE ARE MORE FROM YOUR RACE RIGHT?"


    "IS YOUR RACE THE ONLY RACE THAT INVADED?"


    The Bug''s eyes glowed in a crazy emotional manner; it was an unsettling sight to be seen in a metal creature. "I NEED MORE SUBJECTS!"


    "I NEED MORE CREATURES TO WORSHIP ME!"


    "I NEED TO BECOME THE NEW EMPEROR OF THE RORONOA STAR SYSTEM!"


    "¡­"


    By now, Champion Onana already gave in to despair.


    Grade A Supers and Beasts were not entities that could be found in any random corner of the universe. It was already reasonably hard to find Grade B Supers like him, as for those with Grade A strength, they were even rarer.


    Coming to this backwater Star System that was destroyed by an ancient war, he never expected to meet an existence that already had Grade A strength.


    He was caught off-guard and confused.


    He was frustrated. ''H-how?''


    ''How is this possible?''


    "Champion!"


    Onana ignored everything as he drowned in his thoughts.


    ''How can a Grade A Bug be born from these stupid Bug Species?''


    ''How can a Grade A Bug be born in this backwater Star System?''


    ''How can an entity stronger than me be born here?''


    "Champion!".


    At this moment, Onana could no longer hear anything else as he simply drowned in his own self and the disappointment of his defeat.


    The moment a Grade A Beast arrived was the moment that he lost this war.


    As a Champion of a powerful Gctic State like the Nak State, he had been exposed to a lot of high-level information and experiences. He had witnessed Grade A Supers in action. In fact, his mentor was a Grade A Mechanic.


    Apart from acknowledging the ridiculous difficulty to achieve this level of strength, Onana also knew that he stood no chance before these existences.


    Any Grade A Super or Beast could annihte a dozen Onanas effortlessly.


    "ONANA!!!"


    He finally snapped awake from his thoughts.


    "We have lost". General Aztog''s voice reverberated in a cold coordinated manner as soon as he was able to get the Champion''s attention.


    "You are a Champion of our state, your safety is paramount".


    "Try your best to escape".


    "We will stand our ground till death to defend your retreat".


    "¡­"


    Onana paused, something seemed to flip in his brain.


    His eyes clouded in confusion as he once again sank in his own thoughts.


    ''Why did I risk the life of everyone toe here despite the minute possibility that there can be danger that can easily end our lives?''


    ''It''s because of my curiosity''.


    Instantly, his subconcious rebuked his own thoughts. ''No!''


    ''I risked my life and everyone''s lives because I am desperate to improve''.


    ''I am willing to learn and do anything it takes for me to improve, and while doing that, I also want to enjoy life all at the same time''.


    He clenched his fists. ''That is my problem''.


    Without him knowing, tears already welled in his eyes. ''My whole life, I lived to prove my family wrong, prove that I am not a good for nothing''.


    ''I was born without talent; my twin brother had all the talent''.


    ''Delzebub stole all limelight away from my life''.


    ''My father said my greatest achievement in life was being born in the same womb as my brother''. His nails dug into his palm as blood flowed.


    ''From the age of 2, I developed the will to prove everyone in my life wrong. I worked harder than anyone else, I never took my safety seriously, I brave dangers that warriors stronger than me don''t have the guts to brave''.


    ''I made countless stupid decisions just to get power, to prove them wrong''.


    ''In the end, it paid, I became a Champion¡­, but at what cost?''


    He raised his right hand and looked at it. ''I have now be the exact Monster that I hated all my life and I have always wanted to prove wrong''.


    He could see the image of his father in it.


    ''My obsession with improving has be so strong that I ignore other''s lives, why? Because they don''t have as much talent as me''.


    ''I doomed them to the same fate that I experienced as a kid''.


    ''The same fate that my father doomed me too''.


    Images filled his head; he could see the image of himself ovepping with that of his stone-faced warrior father.


    ''NO!''


    The image shattered.


    ''I am not my father!''


    ''I will not doom everyone I''m better than to death!''


    ''They also deserve a chance to struggle and show what they''ve got''.


    ''Everybody is special, they have their own talent, I will believe in it and respect it, everybody deserves a chance to live''.<novelnext></novelnext>


    ''My hesitation to use master''s gift before shows how far I''ve fallen''.


    ''But not again¡­, I am not my father".


    "I am me".


    "I am Onana!''


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Overload!"


    "Arghh¡­!!!" Onana roared as he overloaded every single systems of his upgraded mechanic suit, pushing it to its limits as he attacked.


    Not just that, he activated his mechanic suit''s new trump card.


    "Special Berserker Ability: Liberation- Berserk!"


    ~BERSERKER~


    [Warning! You have entered the Berserk State!]


    Bzzz!


    Onana''s neural interface was stimted as his neural connection to his mechanic suit increased to an unprecedented level. Powered by his strong emotions, he even broke his peak resonance limit with his mech suit.


    Every single weapon of this mechanic suit hovered around him as he took control over them and unleashed deadly attacks towards the Space Bug.


    Then he roared. "General Aztog, this is my order!"


    "This is a direct order from me!"


    "You disobey, you disobey Section 12 of the Nak Navy Law and you''re sentenced to death, you must obey!"


    "Lead the remaining 3 Battleships safely out of Titania".


    "I have a means to stall this Bug".


    "But Champion¡­"


    "THIS IS AN ORDER!" Onana roared.


    General Aztog no longer hesitated.


    In his military training days, it was already ingrained in his subconscious, in the thick of battle, tension could affect emotions and a lot of things but something a soldier should always do was listen to his superior.


    ? General Aztog acknowledged the order, then he also addressed his subordinates. "Do not look back, overload the engines and elerate".


    "Let''s escape this".


    "Prepare the FTL drives ahead of time for Warp Travel".


    "Yes, General!"


    "BOW BEFORE ME!" The Grade A Space Bug continued asking like an Emperor.


    "ACKNOWLEDGE ME AS YOUR LORD".


    "I WILL BE THE EMPEROR OF THE NEW RORONOA STAR SYSTEM. IT IS EITHER YOU SUBMIT TO ME PEACEFULLY NOW OR I FORCE YOU TO SUBMIT".


    "IT IS YOUR CHOICE, CHOOSE WISELY".


    While the Space Bug watched, all remaining 3 Spaceships suddenly elerated. For a few seconds, it was stunned.


    When it finally understood what was happening, it was incensed.


    "UNGRATEFUL ALIENS!"


    Its powerful tailunched up again like a venomous Viper.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    Before it hit though, having made up his mind, Onana elerated downwards towards the tail.


    "I''m sorry master, I promised I would not use it but I have no choice".


    He said his prayers before he touched the luxurious ne that was on his neck, he crushed one of the 3 beads in its middle.


    BZZZ!


    A powerful energy fluctuation suddenly burst out.


    This was an energy that also exceeded the Grade B realm.


    "¡­!" The Space Bug was shocked and caught off-guard.


    Behind Onana, the silhouette of a Senior Nak Warrior appeared. As the 3 Spaceships escaped, they caught glimpse of this silhouette.


    "Admiral Zhao!"


    The projection of the Admiral spread his hands out and a shield generator was activated. This shield generator defended against the lethal tail attack, buying enough time for the Spaceships to finally escape the''s gravity.


    The Grade A Space Bug was annoyed and angered.


    "@$%^&*!" It roared in its crazy alien tongue again.


    Onana didn''t stop there, he was no longer intimidated by the Space Bug.


    "I am paying a significant price for this, but I promise you will pay more in due time". He gritted his teeth as he brought out a token and crushed it.


    Another silhouette of the Nak Admiral appeared. This time, he was on a gigantic mechanical suit and on his hand was a cannonuncher.


    He pulled the trigger.


    BOOM!


    The Space Bug was forced into defending for the first time as it recognized the threat of this attack. While it defended, Onana escaped.


    Before he could escape Titania''s gravity though, the tail elongated upwards again. This time, Berserker''s sensors didn''t notice it on time due to the speed of the attack, the tail hit.


    Arge chunk of the gigantic mechanic suit was obliterated.


    The friction set the rest part on fire.


    ~BERSERKER~


    [Critical Damage Detected!]


    The lights of the mech suit''s interface became wobbly.


    Onana gritted his teeth. "Activate internal freezing!"


    "Activate Warp Travel!"


    Draining a significant power from it''s power reactor, Berserker made use of it''s remaining energy to power both power-hungry modules. First, the internals of the mech froze, freezing Onana in it in the process.


    After that, the Mech took the risk despite its damage and jumped into warp travel, barely dodging the follow-up attack from the angry Space Bug.


    "#$%^&!!!"


    Its angry roar echoed through the.

 Chapter 390 Tethering At The Jaws Of Death [1]

    Bzzz!


    The mech disappeared despite all his methods to stop it.


    After it disappeared, the gigantic Space Bug remained standing on Titania, looking up at the radioactive skies as different thoughts filled the mind of this thousand year old Monster.


    "I NEVER THOUGHT THERE WERE OTHER SURVIVORS". He muttered to himself but to everyone who heard it, it was like a roar.


    The massive eyes of this Space Bug gleamed, they showed excitement.


    "OTHERS AT LAST!"


    "I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE PRICE OF SURVIVING THE DESTRUCTION WAS TO FOREVER LIVE A LONELY LIFE, BUT NOW I BELIEVE EVEN MORE IN THE GOD OF MACHINERY, HE ANSWERED MY PRAYERS".


    "HE LIBERATED US FROM OUR PREVIOUS STATUS AS SLAVES".


    "HE MADE OUR MASTERS KILL THEMSELVES THROUGH WARS, AND HE MADE US THE ONLY SURVIVORS OF THESE WARS THROUGH OUR MUTATIONS".


    "HAHAHA¡­!"


    "HAHAHA¡­!"


    The sight of a Giant Bug cackling would horrify anyone.


    Afterughing to his fill, his eyes which remained focused on the skies became focused. "FROM WHAT I JUST SAW, WE HAVE ENEMIES".


    "OF COURSE, NO EMPEROR TAKES HIS THRONE WITHOUT FACING ENEMIES".


    Having witnessed Onana use up the gift from his master to call upon his master''s powers, he naturally assumed that the enemies had a Grade A Super.


    But he was not deterred.


    "MY FAITH CAN NO LONGER BE SHAKEN".


    "THE GOD OF MACHINERY HAS DECIDED THAT I AM TO BE THE EMPEROR, SO NOTHING CAN STAND IN MY WAY, NOT EVEN THOSE BLUE ALIENS".


    After reveling in the highs of his awakening and witnessing this great discovery, he finally calmed down as he observed his body.


    "THE HIBERNATION THIS TIME WAS MORE BENEFICIAL THAN BEFORE".


    "I GAINED EVEN MORE MUTATIONS".


    "I SHOULD SPEND SOME MORE TIME TO STUDY THEM AND UNDERSTAND MY NEW POWERS, AFTER THAT, IT WILL START".


    The next moment, the metal surface of the cracked open again as the gigantic Bug was sucked in before it finally closed back.


    While all this happened, the other Space Bugs all remained prostrated and inactive as they remained a gray color, blending with the surface.


    Even after the Godfather left, they remained prostrating.


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    General Aztog''s fleet left warp travel to find themselves in an anomalous space.


    Wom! Wom! Wom!


    Multiple rms rang across the 3 Spaceships, attracting a lot of attention as panic set among them. The only reason why they didn''t falter was General Aztog.


    "Do not panic!" The General''s authoritative voice was calming.


    "I have experienced something like this before, this is a spatial storm".


    "All you need to do is deploy and activate all the space-time stabilizers, and deactivate all spaceship systems that have a negative effect on space-time".


    "Then,stly, believe in me, I''ll lead you all through this".


    Despite Champion Onana risking his life to protect their retreat, the Giant Space Bug was just too powerful, all 3 Spaceships still suffered damages of various degrees and was why they didn''t get to their destination before falling out of warp travel. Their FTL drives also suffered damages.


    The worst part was that what dragged them from warp travel was a spatial storm, one of the deadliest anomalies in space.


    At this moment, for a region across thousands of kilometers in this space, space and time seemed to be engaging a game of tug of war.


    Space squeezed, ripped, and tore itself apart at rapid frequencies before repairing itself again. After repairing itself, it repeated the deadly sequence.


    Each cycle of this sequence was extremely dangerous to those stuck in it.


    Bzzz! Bzzz! Bzzz!


    The 3 Spaceships suffered even more damage by the second.


    After just barely surviving a battle by the skin of their teeth, most of them still felt rattled but with General Aztog''s calming words, they regained their nerves.


    ''The Champion already risked his life to protect us once''.


    ''We can''t throw his efforts down the well without fighting''.


    ''We must fight!''


    ''We must survive!''


    Filled with conviction, the whole fleet came alive.


    The engineers went to the repair bays to perform emergency repairs on the internal damages suffered by the Spaceships.


    The other crew and warriors deployed space-time stabilizers while also using their own methods to try calming the terrible fluctuations in the space-time.


    Escaping a spatial storm was not a sprint, it was a marathon.


    They persevered through Day 1.


    They persevered through Day 2.


    They suffered through Day 3 and 4.


    By the 6th Day, all 3 Spaceships already suffered terrible hull damages and were barely holding. Not just the Spaceships, their crew were already pushed to their wits end both mentally and physically.


    Despite their exhaustion, they still put in their all to struggle.<novelnext></novelnext>


    On the 8th day, a miracle happened.


    BZZZ!


    To all of them, they felt like they were suddenly liberated.


    Looking out, they discovered that the spatial storm was already in the distance. Escaping it left a feeling in them like they were liberated.


    The crew and warriors felt emotional, some even broke down in tears.


    ''We did it!''


    ''We survived!''


    While they jubted, General Aztog''s voice reverberated again.


    "There''s no time to rest, we need to save the Champion".


    They were all jolted awake on hearing that.


    "He risked his life to save ours, now we need to reciprocate and do the same. A good deed should be repaid with another good deed".


    "Every Engineer should work on repairing the Spaceships and making them space worthy again".


    "Every sensor-oriented software Engineer should focus on maximizing the powers of the Spaceship sensors to search for traces of the Champion".


    "I know he is alive somewhere".


    Despite their exhaustion, both mentally and physically, General Aztog''s words pulled the whole fleet to order as they overexerted themselves even more in a bid to find Champion Onana.


    To achieve this feat, they would give their very all.

    [Mech Armor deteriorating 65% faster!]


    Silently, Berserker drifted through space like an abandoned metal wreck.


    Floating alongside the tiny asteroids and metal junk in space, Berserker looked nothing like a once majestic Grade B mechanic suit.


    Its armor was totally damaged, only the frozen interior prevented radiation from entering rampantly but some still slipped through.


    Every second, the state of this once state-of-the-art mech deteriorated.


    Despite this, Berserker never gave up as it gave more effort to preserving Champion Onana''s life while also giving it''s best to send out distress signals.


    It was already more than a week since it started floating in space.


    8 hourster, its deterioration hit a peak.

    Instantly, the mech lost all power. The A.I shut down including every interface and virtual mechanisms of the mech, the cryo tube barely survived.


    By the second though, the frozen state started being more affected by the radiation energy seeping in as there was no more energy to protect it.


    In 30 minutes at most, Champion Onana would die.


    At this moment, he was tethering at the jaws of death.


    22 minutester¡­


    Bzzz!


    A Spaceship arrived at this location from warp travel.

    Thud! Thud!


    General Aztog''s boots echoed loudly across the cabin as he marched alongside 2 of his Captains towards the direction of the Golden Cicada''s med bay.


    "What is the condition of the Champion?"


    "Umm¡­"


    "Spill it!"


    "It''s critical sir". Captain Yeoh answered with a grimace.


    "The initial scan says he suffered significant radiation which has seeped into his system and affected all of his organs already".


    "The only reason why he is alive despite all that is his incredible vitality as a Grade B Super and his unique physiology as a special gically modified cyborg".


    In no time, they arrived before the medical bay where at this moment a group of 6 highly qualified Doctors cloaked in white coats surrounded the Champion and were attending to him.


    They were not the only ones attending to him, Captain Chan was also present as with his Magic Staff, this Nak Super was already hard at work.


    At this moment, he was no longer simply activating a Magic ability, it was much moreplicated than that as a book hovered before him.


    Under the will of his magic power, the pages of the book flipped.


    And as they flipped, he chanted the incantations recorded in them.


    The atmosphere in the med bay was filled with concentrated arcane power.


    While the Grade C Captain did his fair share of keeping the Champion alive, the highly qualified Doctors also focused on their jobs and did their thing.


    They looked at the projection of the med bay A.I.


    (Body State of Patient!)


    (Severe Radiation Burns!)


    (Multiple Organ Failure!)


    (Brain Deterioration!)


    The man who had the most crests in hisb coat who also seemed to be the highest-ranking Doctor of the 6 ordered the others.


    "Plug the Anti-Radiation Tubes into his body".


    "Inject him with the cell regeneration super grade stimnt!"


    "Inject him with super grade adrenaline".


    "Connect an oxygen tube to his mouth".


    "Cloak him with the Detox Cloak".


    At his orders, the other Doctors went to work as they employed different high-level techniques and measures in order to save the Champion''s life.


    At this moment, not only Champion Onana''s life was tethering at the jaws of death, the life of everyone present in this fleet was also on the line.


    If Champion Onana died, they automatically lost their Nak Citizenship.


    They would instantly be exiles of the powerful State.


    The beeping sound of theputer felt to most of them like the trumpet sounds of judgement day. The only question was that after rapture, would they be going to the coveted heaven or the dreadful hell?


    Sweat filled General Aztog''s face as he watched quietly.


    ''Please, don''t die on me!''


    ''You were so ambitious, you spoke so highly of yourself, you can''t die now!''


    ''You haven''t even aplished 10% of your dreams!''


    ''If you die, I swear I''ll kill you!'' He gritted his teeth.


    He clenched his fists as his palms turned watery.


    For 4 straight hours, he stood outside the med bay as the Doctors worked while Captain Chan kept on expending his mana rampantly while continuously chanting incantations to do his fair share of keeping the Champion alive.


    At the 5th hour, the beeping sound of the machine changed.


    Beep!<novelnext></novelnext>


    General Aztog''s originally drooping eyes turned sharp as he raised his head to look. He raised his head just in time to notice the eyebrows of the Champion twitch, then familiar blue and red eyes slowly opened.


    His eyes felt groggy and dizzy.


    "W-where am I?"


    No one answered, they all descended in their different worlds of euphoria even as they were afraid of making noise that would deteriorate his condition.


    Outside the med bay, General Aztog''s clenched fists clenched even tighter as he slowly dropped to his knees. ''He survived¡­''


    ''He survived''. He heaved a deep sigh of relief.


    ¡­


    3 weekster after the battle in Titania¡­


    CRACK!


    A huge crack spread through the surface of Titania and from this crack jumped out the gigantic Space Bug, the Emperor of Titania.


    At this moment, the gigantic Space Bug spotted some changes.


    Apart from bing a few hundred meters longer, including its deadly tail, it also grew a single horn that extended from it''s head. Every mutation was taking this deadly Monster farther from its base form as a Bug.


    Apart from it''s external changes though, there were even more internal changes and they were the most pivotal in it''s newfound strength.


    "SCREECH¡­!!!!!!!"


    It shrieked loudly as the sound reverberated across the Radioactive Giant.


    This was the shriek of his return.


    "I AM BACK!"


    "MY SUBJECTS, ARISE AND FACE YOUR EMPEROR!"


    Instantly, across Titania, it seemed like a switch was finally put on as the hundreds of millions of inactive Space Bugs finally became active again.


    Fluttering their wings, they rose up even as they started glowing in their red lights again.


    Red lights shone all across the gigantic surface of Titania.


    They remained prostrating before their Godfather.


    "MY SUBJECTS, THE TIME HAS FINALLY COME".


    "FOR A LONG TIME, WE THOUGHT WE WERE ALONE IN THE RORONOA STAR SYSTEM BUT THE GOD OF MACHINERY LED THOSE FOOLS TO US".


    "IT IS A SIGN, A SIGN THAT WE SHOULD START OUR CONQUEST".


    "THE SAME WAY THAT OLD GEEZER LED HIS ARMY THROUGH THE STARS, CONQUERED PLANETS AND ESTABLISHED HIMSELF AS AN EMPEROR FOR AGES, IT IS FINALLY MY TURN".


    "IT IS THE TIME FOR I, AGRONA, TO ESTABLISH HIMSELF AS THE NEW EMPEROR AND START MY OWN REIGN".


    "MY SUBJECTS, FOLLOW ME INTO THE STARS".


    "BECOME MY WEAPONS OF CONQUEST, JOIN ME IN MY CONQUEST JOURNEY".


    "CHIRP!" "CHIRP!" "CHIRP!"


    The Space Bugs finally responded in their crazy numbers as they started chirping and chittering excitedly.


    With that, the gigantic Space Bug finally lifted off the.


    Spreading his gigantic wings, he led the way as he beat the gravity of Titania and started rising into the skies. After a dozen minutes, he broke Titania''s gravity and finally entered space.


    "I¡­, MISS¡­, SPACE".


    The conquest officially began.

 Chapter 392 Champion Onanas Decision

    After 3 weeks of moving through uncharted space, Champion Onana''s Frigate finally caught up and reunited with General Aztog''s fleet.


    During the battle of Titania, the Frigate was by far the fastest of the Battleships. When Champion Onana made the decision to risk his life for them, while General Aztog hesitated, the Captain of the Roman Rider reacted faster.


    He knew Onana best and understood when he was serious.


    This was why the Roman Rider elerated and gained a head start. Another fact was, a Frigate was one of the fastest of all Battleship sses.


    Itpromised a lot of other advantages to focus on speed.


    None of the other Battleships on that battlefield couldpete with it on that aspect. This was why apart from being the first to escape Titania''s gravity, the Roman Rider also suffered the least damage.


    As soon as it escaped outside, without hesitation, it jumped into warp travel to escape before the Space Bug could make use of any desperate counterattack.


    Warp travel was aplicated means of traveling through space.


    Since they didn''t drop their coordinates to General Aztog''s fleet, they missed themselves during the escape. After escaping though, the single fact that reunited them was their burning desire to rescue Champion Onana.


    A week and some days after the Golden Cicada rescued Champion Onana, the Roman Rider was finally able to reunite with the General''s fleet.


    While the Champion recovered from his injuries, they served as the scout who scoured the surrounding space for any threats.


    It was during one of these routine scouts that they detected a signal.


    Wom! Wom! Wom!


    The long-ranged sensors of the Frigate caused rms to ring throughout the fleet as it sent feeds of its discovery to the localworks of the other Spaceships.


    Due to the extreme range at which the long-ranged sensors captured it, it was blurry but they were able to get an overall view.


    "The Grade A Space Bug!" They were shocked.


    "It entered space with its underlings?!"


    While the others were shocked, only Champion Onana revealed a look like this was only a matter of time. "Like I expected". He sighed.


    General Aztog and the Captains focused on the Champion.


    On his recovery bed, Champion Onana looked at them. "I don''t know if I''ve told you all this before, but I have a special bloodline Eye ability".


    "It allows me to read and view history into the past of anyone and anything that I set my eyes on if I activate it. It''s effectiveness depends on my power in rtive to that of my target, it determines how far I can see".


    "¡­"


    For a few seconds, silence dominated this cabin as they stared at him.


    "Ahem¡­" He coughed. "I know some of the lewd things you guys do, I simply decide not to speak up on it, no need to give me that eye".


    "¡­!"


    Some of the higher-ups present coughed awkwardly.


    Champion Onana ignored them and continued. "When I looked into the history of the Grade A Space Bug, I saw a lot about him andparing it with his words then, I made my conclusion".


    "From his history, the Space Bugs were ves of the ruling race whose Emperor ruled the Roronoa Star System in the old era. Forrge parts of his life, all he lived for was to serve those that were higher than him".


    "He was born a ve and he lived as a ve".


    "He lived a mistreated and brutalized life till the destruction".


    "Faced with the prospect of defeat, the Emperor of the ruling Empire pulled the suicide trigger and caused the Radioactive Pulse that killed the Roronoa Star System. The Space Bugs were the only ones who survived".


    "For centuries, they were enved and forced to work on radioactive materials which built their resistance to radiation".


    "In the end, this was what saved them".


    "After the destruction, feeding on the resources of Titania, the they were forced to work on and the radiation from the Giant Star, they grew by leaps and bounds and be the force that drove us out 3 weeks ago".


    "As the most senior Space Bug who survived the destruction, he became the leader. Traumatized by his life as a ve, he wished to be an Emperor too".


    "He was tired of being a ve, he wanted to experience what it felt like to be an Emperor, a real Emperor".


    "With no subjects in hand, he forced his brothers into bing his subjects. For centuries, he ruled as their Emperor until he discovered us".


    "Discovering us birthed a new ambition in him".<novelnext></novelnext>


    "I know him". Champion Onana''s eyes gleamed. "He wants to be the Emperor of this new Roronoa Star System and rule with an iron fist".


    "He wants to feel what the Emperor of the old era felt".


    "To achieve his goal, he will do anything".


    By the time that Champion Onana finished exining, all the higher-ups in this cabin of the Golden Cicada felt a chill crawl down their spines.


    "This means he ising after us?" Captain Chan asked.


    "Yes". Champion Onana nodded with a grave look on his face.


    He looked at them. "We have to be prepared".


    "Do you have a n?" General Aztog asked.


    "A matter of fact, yes". Champion Onana nodded.


    "We need to return to the Giant Nak Fortress and properly recover from this defeat. After that, we kick-off our n to start the cataclysm topletely take over the resource-rich Darvis".


    A brief silence descended as all of them became serious.


    Onana continued. "We have at most 3 months to do this".


    "The remaining 3 months, we''ll use it to prepare for the inevitable sh against the Space Bugs". His eyes gleamed. "This time, I don''t want to lose".


    "How do you know we have 6 months? What if they can engage warp travel to rapidly decrease the time to arrive at their destination?"


    "They cannot". Champion Onana answered the General confidently.


    "I didn''t spend the past 5 years in vain. I spent my time thoroughly studying the Space Bugs".


    "Despite their fascinating mutations, they never mutated FTL drives".


    "If they do, then it has to be the Unique Space Bugs and above since I didn''t get to study them as text subjects".


    "It still doesn''t matter though, that leaves only 4 of them with FTL drives".


    "Despite his personal power, I don''t believe he is arrogant enough to bring just 3 supports to a full-blown war against another race that he has few information about".


    "Using normal travel, with their speed, they''ll arrive at Darvis between 6 to 8 monthster".


    The General and the Captains nodded, they could finally understand where he wasing from. At the same time, they felt the urgency of their situation.


    ''The Cataclysm needs to start now!''


    ''We need to wipe off the resistance in Darvis now!''


    A few hourster, all 4 Spaceships entered warp travel.


    ¡­


    Bzzz!


    A few dayster, they returned to the Giant Nak Fortress.


    Havingmunicated with the base ahead of time, it already turned into a busy hub as preparations for the Cataclysm went on at a crazy pace.


    As soon as the Golden Cicada returned, General Aztog contacted Captain Lee who was in Darvis.


    "Captain, this are your new orders¡­"


    A few minutester, Captain Lee answered. "Yes Sir!"


    The Nak fleet as a whole exploded into activity.

 Chapter 393 Changes [1]

    The headquarters of the Nightmare Army¡­


    2 new recruits of the Pugilist Academy walked through therge training arena as they saw senior Pugilists training.


    They were amazed at the level of power on disy. Most of the Pugilists were Grade E Pugilists like them, but there was more than enough Grade D Pugilists training in thisrge training arena to attract a crowd.


    The sound sts of fists hitting viciously echoed in the air.


    Different colors of Pugilist Energy sted everywhere on collision.


    At a certainbat stage, a female Pugilist who had her red hair tied in a bun wiped sweat away from her face after humiliating another male Grade D Pugilist. She red challengingly at the crowd that was below her.


    "Anyone else thinks he can beat me?" She taunted arrogantly.


    Seeing this powerful female Pugilist, the 2 new recruits widened their eyes. "That''s the famous Red-haired Sonia, she''s one of the few Grade C Pugilist seeds".


    Both of them were amazed.


    Grade C seeds was a term that Army Commander Legs came up with as the Nightmare Army grew. This was used to refer to those extra talented Supers that rose a head over the others, establishing themselves as the true geniuses.


    After special tests that evaluated their potential to take thest step to the Grade C realm, if they passed, they were ssified as Grade C seeds.


    This was just one of the many changes that happened in the Nightmare Army and Darvis at a whole during the past 5 years. Compared to Darvis of 5 years ago, this one was an entirely different beast.


    Sonia was one of these extremely rare Grade D Supers. After asking her question arrogantly, her eyes moved through the crowd that watched her.


    "Let''s fight". One of the male Pugilists suddenly said.


    Every eye turned to look only to see a beautiful dour-faced Super with purple hair. His beautiful features surely made him popr among the girls, it was his demeanor and expression that deterred others from approaching.


    His eyes and facial expression seemed disinterested in everything that was going on, it was like every thing was beneath his consideration.


    Seeing him, Sonia''s eyes narrowed. "Evans".


    The eyes of the spectators in the crowd also widened. ''The legendary Evans?!''


    Evans was the 3rd Grade C Pugilist seed in the Pugilist Academy, and considering there were only 3 Grade C Pugilist seeds, the coincidence of both warriors suddenly meeting in a training arena spread gunpowder in the air.


    Both of them felt challenged by the other, they didn''t hesitate, the battle started in an exciting manner after Evans climbed the stage.


    The battle was¡­ exciting!


    Whereas Sonia was a ferocious warrior whounched powerful devastating blows, Evans was calm and calcting. Using his superior agility, he weaved through thebat arena like a rat, toying with his opponent.


    Despite the intensity of the battle, like all battles, there was always a winner.


    This time, it wasn''t a draw, Sonia won by a tiny margin.


    Evans epted defeat calmly. "I will beat you next time".


    "I''ll like to see you try". Sonia''s gaze remained fiery.


    "Wow, so exciting". The 2 new recruits were amazed.


    At this moment, they were supposed to make their way to the registration center where they would both be assigned to a Pugilist instructor. Fascinated by all the sights, they soon lost track of where they were going.


    A few minutester, they were standing before arge building.


    "Is this the registration center?"


    "Probably". The other shrugged, then they both went in.


    Just 2 minutes in, they heard a sound.


    BOOM!


    The ground vibrated.


    "¡­"


    They paused, looked and each other and gulped, then they continued.


    BOOM!


    "S-Should we go back?"


    "We''re already here, let''s just see what is making so muchmotion".


    6 minutester, after checking 4 rooms along the way, they finally opened the door to the 5th room. It was a Pugilist training chamber far luxurious than anything they had seen leading here.


    There were 2 Pugilists in this training chamber, 1 attracted their attention first. He was not exactly huge and bulky, he just seemed like a perfectly crafted image of an ideal Pugilist.


    At this moment, 2 mountainous dumbbells made using Arcanite metal, obvious from their gleaming red surface were on the Pugilist''s hand.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Self-Created Technique: de Smash!"


    Holding both dumbbells horizontally, he mmed them against each other.


    BOOM!


    Both recruits lost their bnce from the earthquake that followed as they fell on their butt. By now, they already knew who this was.


    Fascination, shock, and awe filled their eyes.


    ''I-It is Pugilist Master de!'' The same thought filled both their minds.


    ''Then, if it is him, that red-skinned boy is¡­''


    They looked at each other like they could read their minds. ''The boy prodigy, Uranus!''


    At this moment, the young red-skinned boy who was taller than a regr 6-year-old was holding miniaturized versions of the same Dumbbells that the Pugilist Master used. With a focused expression on his face, he worked out.


    "Special Titan Talent: Titan Strength!"


    "Uranus Specialty:ary Smash!"


    Like the Pugilist Master did, with both dumbbells ced horizontally, he mmed them together. It produced a weaker earthquake but it was still reasonably powerful as both new recruits fell on their butts again.


    Their eyes widened in horror. ''Is he really just a 6-year-old?''


    ''He really is a once in a lifetime progidy!''


    ''At just the age of 6, he is already a Grade D Pugilist''.


    ''Not just that, he broke the established paradigm in Darvis by bing the first Super to be both a Pugilist and an Elementalist''.


    Their eyes widened. ''This is¡­ Uranus!''


    After finishing that workout, de finally brought out his already iconic Lightsaber. Uranus also brought out a sword as they walked to another part of the training chamber.


    After getting to their destination, while the 2 recruits watched, the young prodigy suddenly paused and turned to look in their direction.


    "¡­" They froze in panic and shock.


    Looking at his eyes felt like they were looking into the eyes of a predatory monster, they were petrified.


    "Don''t you have training to do?" He asked them.


    "Since you lost your way here, it means you are new recruits, is looking at others train the reason that brought you to the Pugilist Academy?"


    They both scrambled to their feet. "N-no Sir!"


    "Uranus, leave them alone". de frowned.


    "Leave the same way you came, the registration center is the building opposite this one, wee to the Pugilist Academy".


    de smiled at them.


    Both Pugilists bowed multiple times in gratitude. "Thank you, Pugilist Master!"


    They finally left.


    "Clueless bums, theyck focus, how do they expect to get to the top with that attitude? Did you get to the top with such an attitude, Uncle?"


    de frowned. "Uranus, not everyone is a prodigy like you who is lucky enough to have masters like me, your father, and the others guiding you".


    "That''s why they came to the Pugilist Academy".


    "With time, they will discover their way to get stronger also".


    "Humph!" Uranus snorted and focused on his training.


    Grabbing the Lightsaber tighter, de''s eyes focused as a visible ck corona of sword energy appeared from his sword and engulfed his whole body. Just before he could sh though, he suddenly paused.


    Uranus noticed it. "What?"


    de did not answer him as he looked up, he narrowed his eyes. "I feel uneasy".


    He frowned. "Something ising".

 Chapter 394 Changes [2]

    Headquarters of the Nightmare Army, the Assassin Division¡­


    Leaving the other parts of the Nightmare Army and entering this dreaded part was like jumping from water into fire, it was like falling from heaven into hell. On Heimdall''s orders, light was blocked from inside this base all-year round.


    This was the first and greatest line of the Assassin Division, it was their anthem. "Live in the dark".


    "Embrace it".


    "Adapt to it".


    "Get used to it because our profession is of the dark".


    "We live in the dark, we eat in the dark, and we kill in the dark".


    Any Super who was registered into this division of the Nightmare Army was a weirdo, they fitted the theme best. Despite their numbers being the fewest by arge margin in the whole army, they were feared far more than the others.


    Afterall, they were renowned as the deadliest of the Nightmare Army.


    Afterall, their only Grade C seed, Elliot had shone when the other Grade C seeds could not, singlehandedly ambushing and killing 2 of the 6 Ninja Assassins of the Nak Navy, revenging the blemish in the history of the Nightmare Army.


    Legs may have long lived past it, but the ambitious and passionate warriors of the Nightmare Army never forgot it.


    Afterall, it was this same group of Assassins that ambushed and captured their Army Commander, leading to his ordeal in the headquarters of the old Clown Society. Where others failed, Elliot shone and showed his talent.


    Inside the onlyrge training arena inside this division.


    Under dim lighting, Heimdall alongside his assistant watched the group of young assassins barely more than 5 dozen who were training rigorously.


    Curiously, one of them was a gigantic Frost Giant.


    Due to the Army Commander''s influence, the racism that citizens of Darvis exhibited towards aliens reduced a bit. Under his influence, they learned to understand that not all aliens were wicked.


    There was a difference between the current Frost Giants and the Nak warriors. Over time, they already fully embraced their existence.


    When this Frost Giant first applied to be an assassin, Heimdall refused him countless times but his determination and talent prevailed in the end.


    Despite his size, due to his ability to change his color to blend into any environment he found himself, Azagon was already among the top 5 assassins in the Assassin Division of the Nightmare Army.


    Heimdall would never say it out loud but the barely noticeable grin on his face told a long story, he was proud of his achievement in 5 years.


    ''I have done enough to fully enter the trusted circle of the Army Commander''.


    ''I hope theing Cataclysm bes my chance''.


    His eyes gleamed with ambition. ''My chance to use the Army Commander''s help to finally break my limit and be a Grade B Assassin!''


    While he fantasized about his ambition, he suddenly frowned as his acute intuition felt a sudden change. His sharp eyes looked upwards.


    From a frown, his face soon turned into a wide grin.


    ''You f*ckers surely took your time''.


    ¡­


    "Just this year, the number of applicants to the army exploded by 52%".


    "That''s a promising growth percentage".


    "If this continues, the Army is bound to¡­"


    Christensen interrupted her. "I''ve told you numerous times, I don''t need to hear all the details about your countless reports". Heined as he walked towards his office.


    While he walked, a Butterfly silently flew alongside him.


    Despite hisints, his troublesome assistant was having none of it though. "You are the Army Commander''s stand-in, you definitely can''t ck off, you need to be at the top of your game to keep the army afloat".


    "This again". Christensen sighed in exasperation.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "What do you mean by this again? It''s your duty, you have to do it".


    "Just tell me you want to spend more time with me".


    "¡­"


    She was caught off-guard for a few seconds as she froze, her face turned red as she blushed, she tried to stop it but could not.


    In this time, Christensen already walked past her.


    She jogged to catch up to him. "Y-You, what do you mean by that?"


    "You think I don''t notice it?" Christensen turned to look at her like she was a fool. "I''ve noticed you always find any opportunity to stay closer to me now, you always give excuses but your motive is now so ringly obvious".


    "The other day, you imed there was an important report to make which is ame excuse to spend time with me since it was nothing important".


    "Tell me". He narrowed his eyes. "What do you really want?"


    "Are you a spy from the Nak Navy?"


    "Ahh¡­" Once again, she was caught off-guard.


    In the end, her eyes turned ice cold like a warrior queen facing her worst enemy in battle. "Nothing". She replied coldly.


    "I won''t seek your attention again".


    Christensen was surprised as he wiped sweat that suddenly appeared on his forehead away. "What happened? Why does it feel like you''re angry?"


    "I''m not!" She snapped.


    "Ok". He turned and finally opened the door to his office.


    She gritted her teeth as she watched him enter.


    Just one step in and Christensen paused, his demeanor suddenly changed. He was no longer the head of the Nightmare Army on Legs'' behalf, he was now a warrior, a veteran Grade C Summoner.


    He looked up, his eyes narrowed as he looked back down at the Butterfly.


    "Neo?"


    The Butterfly nodded. "I feel it too".


    "W-what happened?" Noticing the sudden change, Ariel, Christensen''s assistant was frightened as she asked.


    "Put a call through to the Army Commander".


    A few secondster, Legs'' voice calmly rang through the speakers.


    "I know, I also felt it".


    "The President has called a secret meeting; we have to do this discretely to avoid attracting the attention of the Nak base".


    "In 10 minutes, meet us at the hidden war strategy base".


    Christensen''s face turned serious. "Yes, Army Commander".


    A few minutester, all the higher-ups, High Officials, and Grade C Supers in Darvis were gathered in the hidden war strategy base that was built and hidden deep in the Blue Sea in the Eastern Continent.


    President Shanks looked at everyone present. "I¡­"

 Chapter 395 Return Of The Immortals

    While the secret meeting took ce in the hidden war strategy base in the Blue Sea, one other important thing happened.


    After more than 5 years since they left, the yers came back.

    [Version 2: The Cataclysm!]


    ----


    ¡­


    Activities went on in the massive base as employees did their best to prepare the group of elite yers to enter the game.


    After the end of Dominator''s Version 1 and the explosive yer tournament that followed, the big organizations and gamepanies of the world learned one very important truth.


    This truth was that¡­ Dominator was the next big thing in the VR gamemunity.


    The poprity of Dominator exploded after the end of Version 1. Despite the fact that the yers were not exactly strong enough to affect the storyline like they wanted, the rollercoaster of emotions still got to them.


    This drew in arge base of hardcore Dominator fans.


    Not just that, the preparation for Version 2 was explosive. Through advertisements, the fanbase knew that the time skip to Version 2 was 5 years.


    Not just that, they also knew that they could finally grow to be Grade D Superhumans, which ced them in a better ce to affect the storyline.


    Through the word of mouth and others, the poprity of the game exploded. This was what drew in investment from everywhere, the Blue Autumn Club was one of the elite professional clubs to receive outside investment.


    With the money from the investment, building around the Sword God and his sidekick, Horny Assassin, they already built a formidable pro team.


    Not just that, the Blue Brook Guild under the leadership of Blue River also exploded in growth and development as they also received part of the investment.


    After all these investments, now, they were hyped to enter the game again.


    "Guild leader, I can''t imagine how much Darvis had changed". Horny Assassin rubbed his hands. "For some reason, I feel goosebumps".


    "Afterall, before we left, Darvis seemed to embrace Democracy by electing one of the Grade D Superhumans as their President".


    "I can''t imagine how much has changed".


    Blue River did not stop what he was doing. "The gamepany announced that the time skip will be 5 years, a lot of things would sure have changed".


    "This does not change our ns though. Any changes in Darvis does not matter, what matters is if that change benefits us".


    "That is why we are so prepared this time".


    Blue River looked at the hundreds of elite yers that were recruited alongside Horny Assassin to assist him in running the activities of the guild.


    He smiled instinctively. "Being a Guild Leader have never felt better".


    In no time, with him taking the lead, hundreds of yers were seated in specially designed VR cabins as the time for theunch finally came.


    ¡­


    To the ton of new yers that were attracted to the game, they were about to experience a sensation unlike anything that they had experienced before.

    [Mission Reward: 500,000 Experience Points and 1 Mission Completion Card!]


    ¡­


    To the new yers who had not even seen 10 Experience Points, 500,000 Experience Points was like a gift directly from God in heaven.


    Without hesitation, all the newbies epted the missions.


    New yers were not the only ones who appeared after theunch of Version 2 though. As soon as the game rebooted, veterans from Version 1 who yed through the adventures of the Clown Society finally came back.


    Unlike the new yers though, they didn''t receive any beginner missions to guide them. The game already recognized them as veterans who knew their way around the game, and they appreciated it.


    In the Northern Continent, the headquarters of the Hunter Union, a group of 6 yers were gathered as they looked at their interface with narrowed eyes.


    Raining Sword was surprised. "Nightmare Army? What is that?"


    At this moment, the faction tabs in their game interface looked strange.


    [Game Factions:]


    [Hunter Union]


    [Nightmare Army]


    [¡­]


    Horny Assassin frowned. "Where is Legs'' faction?"


    "Did we get booted out of his camp after leaving for 5 years?" One of the other pro yers in the pro team asked. "Damn, that''s unfair!"


    They were not the only yers who panicked. After Legs'' incredible exploits in Version 1, majority of the yers believed in him and all aligned with his faction, now not seeing it, they descended into a panic fit.


    While some panicked, others also noticed the differences.


    The yer forum exploded with new messages.


    >Rotten Zhini: Damn, Darvis have changed!<


    >Rotten Zhini: Have you guys noticed?<


    >sh of Cocks: Yeah, I''ve noticed it. Thest time, my spawn point was the Blue Sea Prefecture. Damn, it has changed so much now, everything seemed so far developed than myst time here. Even the police, damn, I''ve been held hostage for questioning<


    >sh of Cocks: What the f*ck! They say I''m an intruder, what does that mean?<


    >Lord Bendter: It means you are f*cking dead!<


    >sh of Cocks is typing<


    >Rotten Zhini is typing<


    >Horny Assassin is typing<


    >Multiple yers are typing¡­<


    While a war of spections started in the yer forum, more ambitious yers started their research to understand the changes in Darvis.


    One of these dedicated yers was the Blue Autumn Team.


    After losing the National Dominator Tournament thest time to their bitter rivals, this time, all of them were motivated to get their revenge.


    To achieve this goal, they were willing to do anything.


    It was while they searched in the headquarters of the Hunter Union that a certain NPC met them. "Wee back, Immortals".


    "My name is Enigma John; I am a warrior of the Nightmare Army".


    "Legs'' Faction is no more; it is now the Nightmare Army".


    "I am the representative of the Army Commander, High Official Legs Baron and I am here to take you to the headquarters of the army".


    The Blue Autumn Team was not the only group of yers that were intercepted, multiple NPCs from the Nightmare Army intercepted yers all across Darvis as they fulfilled the mandate of the Army Commander.


    The reactions of the yers varied.


    "It is now the Nightmare Army? That''s so cool!"


    "Holy Smokes! Are you for real? I''m hyped about Version 2 already".


    "By the way, did you guys see the Version theme? It''s called The Cataclysm with an apostrophe mark at the end".


    "I don''t know about you guys, but my blood is boiling already lol".


    "Version 2 is gonna be lit".

 Chapter 396 War Strategy

    Hidden in the secret war base were the higher-ups of Darvis.


    Unlike during the battle of Hellfire Mountains were only a select few Grade C Superhumans were present, this time, it was really the full force in Darvis.


    This section of the secret war base was a massive hall.


    This was the war strategy hall.


    At this moment, at the head and very front of the hall was President Shanks. Seated at his left side was the Vice President, Lydia, while seated at his right was the Army Commander of the Nightmare Army, High Official Legs.


    Apart from the High Officials who were also seated at the high table, below the high table in this hall were the other higher-ups of Darvis.


    Apart from the survivors of the battle of Hellfire Mountains, Tribe Chief Kohama, Tribe Chief Draconion, and Tribe Chief Aragast were also present.


    During the past 5 years, a new Grade C powerhouse rose up among the desert tribes. Tribe Chief Aragast became the 3rd representative of the desert tribes as his Audun tribe already rose to be the 3rd strongest tribe in the desert.


    Apart from them, Frost Warrior Freiza was also present. This was the sole Grade C Superhuman representing the frost tribes of the North.


    Also, there was a new face.


    After 5 years of growth under thepetitive environment for Supers that was created under President Shanks'' rule, another Grade D prodigy from the Elementalist academy broke her limits and became thetest Grade C Superhuman.


    Breaking through made her eligible to attend this gathering alongside her mentors and role models. Also, the Old Monsters like Gorgon were also present.


    The gathering kickstarted immediately.


    President Shanks looked at everyone present. "I believe I''m not the only one who felt it. One way or another, you must have felt the shift in the air".


    His face turned grave. "The Cataclysm is upon us".


    His words made a solemn atmosphere descend on this hall.


    Despite the fact that they felt far more prepared than 5 years ago and were now reasonably confident in their ability to resist, this did not reduce the lethality of their opponents one bit, the Nak Navy was still the superior force.


    This realization that this threat was upon them made them all serious.


    President Shanks continued. "We don''t know when it will start, we don''t even know if it will start the next minute, this is why I took preemptive measures".


    "Only John and E are now free to keep on working on the Heavy Cruiser that is under construction, everyone else that was involved in the construction have been transferred to focus on making our presentbat assets battle ready".


    His eyes gleamed. "We need to be prepared for battle any moment".


    After using his raised tone to let the tension of this moment settle in them, his tone finally dropped a bit. "Before we discuss our war strategy onest time, I don''t know if all of you have been made aware, but they are back".


    He turned to look at Legs. "The Immortals are back".


    Legs nodded. "Yes, and I have already started measures to question them and keep them up to date about everything that happened in their absence".


    President Shanks narrowed his eyes as he looked at him. "Legs, tell me the truth, do they pose any threat to us?"


    "No". Legs answered confidently.


    "Tell us what you know about them".


    As soon as Version 2unched and the subsequent response from the Nightmare Army, Legs was already ready for questions like this and he came prepared. He took a deep breath to organize his thoughts.


    "From the first moment I met them, I noticed how special they are and did a lot of research and observations to fully understand them".


    "One thing that I understood after observing them long enough was that though they were different, they still had sentiments for Darvis".


    "They are not our enemies; their benefits align with ours".


    "Also, even if they are, I doubt they have the strength to topple us".


    Feeling their doubt, Legs took a deep breath and gave hisst and most convincing reason. "I trust them because of my instincts".


    "One thing that I have full trust in is my intuition. It is my greatest weapon, it is what enabled me to be a Grade C Superhuman at record time".


    "On meeting them, my intuition gave me no bad signals about them, this is why I trust them".<novelnext></novelnext>


    "I believe that if we use them right, they can aid in our war efforts".


    President Shanks nodded; he could finally heave a sigh of relief. "Understood, I will leave anything concerning them to you".


    "I''ll appreciate that".


    Legs smiled but inwardly, he was cackling. ''Missionpleted!''


    ''By granting me ess to all yers in the, my farm will grow bigger than I ever expected. Having ess to all the yers in the, if I y my cards and groom them well, I may get benefits that I never expected".


    ''Maybe, just maybe, I may even level up a grade again in this version''.


    While he drowned himself in his inner thoughts, President Shanks kicked off the war nning as all the war veterans chipped in with their own thoughts.


    This was when the Old Monsters like Gorgon and George took centerstage. Having started nning for the cataclysm since centuries ago, they pitched in with their abundant knowledge now asst minute adjustments were made to the n.


    A few dozen minutester, the meeting came to an end.


    "And that is our strategy for the war".


    President Shanks stood up and raised his cup that was filled with wine. "To surviving the Cataclysm and seeing another day".


    "To surviving the Cataclysm and seeing another day".


    The others followed his cue.


    ¡­


    A few hourster¡­


    The Southern Continent, deep in the desert, a duo of 2 men stood on top a sand dune as they looked at the ocean of gold before them.


    "The Hero tribe, it''s a thing of history now".


    "No, you''re wrong". The 2nd man smiled as he turned to look at his son. "The Hero tribe lives; it lives in our hearts".


    "So long as we are alive, the Hero tribe is never history".


    de smiled as he returned his father''s gaze.


    His father''s smile widened. "Besides, you''re not doing your duty".


    "You''re the one supposed to carry the surviving will of the Hero tribe, where is your wife? I thought I would be weing my 3rd grandson by now".


    "Huh¡­?" de was bbergasted as he blushed furiously.


    His fatherughed.


    If most people saw this, they wouldn''t believe it.


    de may be the Pugilist Master of the Nightmare Army, he may be one of the strongest Superhumans in Darvis but before his father, he was still that brave and ambitious Pugilist whose only ambition was bing the Tribe Chief.


    "I''ll marry". de suddenly said.


    "Huh?" Now, it was his father''s turn to be surprised.


    "Don''t be surprised". Heughed. "I also think mom would wish me to be in a rtionship by now, I''ve really neglected it". He sighed.


    For minutes, father and son talked about different topics, mostly reflecting on the past. The sand they stood on at this moment was the ruins of the previous territory of the Hero tribe, one thing brought them back.


    de looked at his father onest time. "We''ve been preparing towards it for the past 5 years, I pushed myself so hard solely because of it".


    "It''s time". He felt emotional.


    "It''s time to finally avenge mom and our tribesmen".


    His eyes gleamed. "I will avenge them!"

 Chapter 397 The Element Of Surprise

    Seated in his office in the headquarters of the Nightmare Army, Legs sat cross-legged in meditation as he cleared his mind of every distraction.


    In this state of serenity, his mind was able to gain rity.


    In an hour''s time, his brain was clear and ready to go.


    ''Are we sufficiently prepared for the cataclysm?''


    ''When will the invasion start?''


    This was the biggest problem of the war strategy.


    Like President Shanks already emphasized countless times, Darvis may have developed at such a crazy pace that they''ll leave their opponents shocked, but this did not mean that they became stronger than the Naks.


    They were still the weaker ones; they were still the underdogs.


    Toe out of the Cataclysm alive, they needed to push themselves beyond their limits, they needed to fully utilize every tiny advantage that they had.


    ''Our advantage is that of the element of surprise''.


    ''If we can hit them with that element of surprise, even if we still have no chances of winning, we may perhaps still catch them off guard and stall them sessfully, we may even be able to drive them back''.


    ''So, how do we amplify the advantage of our element of surprise?''


    While Legs thought about this subject, due to the special state he entered after meditation, it didn''t take him long to arrive at a n.


    He finally opened his eyes. "The yers!"


    He did not rush it, the first thing that he did was through his virtual game interface, he essed the yer forum to look at their discussions.


    >Mashed Potato Lord: Holy Sh*t guys! Have you guys noticed? We only started Version 2 a day ago and the atmosphere in Darvis is already feeling like the Cataclysm would happen any moment, I''m scared guys<


    >Sus Lord: You disgraceful mixed pot of sus elements! That''s phrased wrongly, it''s more like you''re excited<


    >Mashed Potato Lord is typing<


    >Mashed Potato Lord: F*ck you!<


    [MEE601! yer Mashed Potato Lord has received a warning for using inappropriate and offensive words.]


    >Mashed Potato Lord: ¡­<


    >Donald Enigma Trump: Mashed Potato Lord is not wrong; I''ve also noticed it. The tension in the is already increasing, I feel like the Cataclysm would happen any moment, I think this is rted to the apostrophe after the Cataclysm<


    >Donald Enigma Trump: Perhaps that is a hint that this Version would be an action rollercoaster throughout. Btw, have you guys noticed? Have you noticed the book of the hero of Hellfire Mountains that was written about Legs?<


    >Iron Man''s PP: Yes, I also saw it. ording to it, Darvis won the war only because Legs infiltrated the Clown Society to fish for information<


    >Enigma Trump: That is exactly what I''m saying, can we do the same? You know, our infiltration skills would be even more dangerous since we can fake it all while sending information through our dm and the yer forum<


    >Lurker Lord: Damn, big brain time! I feel it can work<


    The Lurker Lord was not the only lurker, Legs''s eyes gleamed.

    ¡­


    A few minutester, Legs was in the secret base of the 3 Grade C Ancestors that was hidden deep in the Northern Continent.


    This was where he took his daily Alchemist sses.


    Before entering the base though, his eyes gleamed. ''I already dropped the bait, it''s now up to them if they will take it''.


    Creating a mission of that nature was risky but Legs still went on with it due to the little restrictions that he put.


    By putting out such crazy rewards for the mission, a lot of yers would be attracted to it. While by putting out a penalty for failure, he hoped to eliminate a lot of the opportunists and skill-less yers who would have taken the mission.


    That way, he would be left with the best and most confident yers.


    ''I hope some of these guys manage to help me with what I want''.


    He no longer hesitated; he went inside the base. On going inside, like he expected, he saw George hard at work.


    The contents of the cauldron sizzled as George worked on them.


    With a serious look on his face, this powerful Grade C Pugilist focused on making more pills and potions.


    Without needing to ask, Legs already knew that Gorgon was out in the wild, risking his life to face Absolute Zero again while Enoch was probably already at the secret construction base working alongside John and E.


    Like every other Superhuman in Darvis, they were all working hard.


    Seeing their efforts, Legs did not hesitate, he soon joined his master.


    A few minutester, he created 5 new pills.


    -----<novelnext></novelnext>


    [You have created a New Pill: Brain Liberation Pill! ¡Á5]


    [Brain Liberation Pill: When ingested, helps in brain liberation, allowing a Superhuman to harness more of the potential of his brain power, indirectly increasingbat power, battle instincts, and otherbat-rted elements.]

    [Congrattions! You have created a ss A Pill!]


    [You are 1 step closer to bing a Grandmaster Alchemist!]


    ----


    George noticed it, he stood up. "Well done, what prompted you to do it?"


    Legs was also shocked, this was his first time being able to create a ss A Pill. In the end, his response was simple. "It''s because of the war".


    "I''m just psyched for it and it perhaps affected my performance".


    "Ok". George gave a simple nod and returned to his work.


    ¡­


    In the base of the Nak Navy in Darvis, in one of the more luxurious rooms, Alexander stood with his hands behind his back as he watched his.


    This Shadow Elementalist''s hands were clenched.


    ''In no time now, I will finally fulfill my dream''.


    ''Legs will be dead''. His face twisted in hate.


    Darvis will finally be conquered''.


    ''And in exchange, I''ll finally be able to learn more about the outside world''.


    ''I wonder if I will be able to see our ancestors on going out there''.


    ''Besides, I wonder how hot chicks in the Minerva Star System are? Hehe¡­''


    While he fantasized about this, the door to his room suddenly opened as a warrior entered inside. Alexander didn''t need to turn to feel Din''s energy.


    "What?"


    "I''vee to report that more of those Immortals are showing interest in joining us".


    Alexander finally turned around, he thought for a few seconds. "Take them in".


    He made an impulsive decision on the spot.


    From his personal observations and everything that he learned from puppeteering the old Clown Society, he knew a lot about the Immortals and their specialties. To him, they could definitely help to elerate the''s downfall.


    All he needed to integrate them here was to convince Captain Lee.


    "Yes, Ancestor".


    Din left to inform the others to fulfill the orders.


    2 dayster, Alexander was finally called by Captain Lee to the strategy room. On getting there, he saw a projection of General Aztog there already.


    Alexander scrambled in and found a chair to sit in.


    A yer who after due diligence worked his way up to be an errand boy to one of the higher-ups in this room also listened nearby. The reason why they let him stay was because of their confidence.


    The yer came in with literally nothing, there was no way he had a recording device, so they let him stay since he could do nothing.


    Unknown to them though, a camera that they could not pinpoint was already recording everything that happened. The Nak General addressed his warriors.


    "It is finally time".


    "The invasion will start in 5 days".


    "To prevent unnecessary losses, it has to be fast, start quick and end quick".


    "This is why we need a detailed file on the location of all theary defense measures of the enemies, we need to know where to target".


    "On your own path, pave the way for us".


    "On the 9th hour of the morning, we will make our way in".


    General Aztog raised a clenched fist. "For the Nak State".


    "For the Nak State".


    The others responded to him.


    For the next few days, like the Darvis warriors, the Nak Navy worked on funing their ns. In no time, it was already 5 days.


    That morning, the skies were bright, the sun was shining high in the skies.


    The Core Protection Alliance detected the first signs of Battleships.


    The invasion was here.

 Chapter 398 Invasion! [1]

    [You havepleted Grade D Faction Mission: Infiltration!]


    [You have been rewarded with +1000 Favorability with the Nightmare Army, 10,000,000 Experience Points, and 1 Mission Completion Card!]


    Raining Sword''s eyes gleamed as he watched his surroundings.


    At this moment, he was still deep infiltrating the base of the Nak Navy in Darvis. He felt like a sheep in a den of wolves, everywhere around him, he could only see NPCs with red names, indicating hostility.


    It took all his experience and determination to keep up his act.


    After putting in effort for days, his effort paid off and he ended up being the only yer who infiltrated deep enough to aplish this mission.


    Despite aplishing the mission already, Raining Sword did not leave the base of the Nak Navy. Before theunch of Version 2, alongside his teammates, they already spent tons of hours researching the game direction.


    These were all in preparations for their revenge against the Fish Trout Team.


    After much research, they arrived at some conclusions and seeing everything that happened, he referenced some of these conclusions.


    ''If I am not wrong, staying here may help massively in the war efforts''.


    ''I may get far more rewards staying here than engaging actively in the war''.


    ''Besides''. He had one doubt. ''Version 2 only started a few days ago, if the Cataclysm starts now, is it not just too early?''


    He felt baffled, such a crazy pace was not characteristic of VR games, it would be far too rushed and would not let the yers fully enjoy the allure of the game.


    Despite his doubts though, this did not make him break character as he remained infiltrating till 5 days finally passed.


    On that fateful day, as the tension reached it''s peak, he was there as the first Battleship made its appearance from space, he held his breath.


    Captain Lee was standing at the strategy room of this war fortress. With his Elementalist staff, powerful elemental energy radiated around this powerhouse as his brain became psyched for war.


    His subordinates stood behind him, waiting for the inevitable arrival.


    Boom!


    The first Spaceship finally infiltrated Darvis''s atmosphere.


    Captain Lee''s eyes gleamed. "They are here".


    ¡­


    Headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance¡­


    Core Protector Daemon had a cold look on his face as he looked at the energy readings of the alien machines and radar sensors that focused on space outside the''s atmosphere.


    His eyes narrowed. ''It is exactly as Legs indicated''.


    ''This boy¡­, does he really have prophetic abilities?''


    It was exactly the time that Legs indicated that they came.


    Despite his doubts, he had no choice but to respect Legs'' opinion. A few days ago, when Legs informed them all about the day and time of the Nak invasion, they were shocked but his track record forced them to believe him.


    Now, Legs'' words proved to be true again.


    All the energy detectors of the Core Protection Alliance sted out rms.


    Wom! Wom! Wom!<novelnext></novelnext>


    [Warning! Multiple Battle-ship grade power reactors detected!]


    [Warning! Multiple thick metal objects approaching atmosphere!]


    [Triggering emergency response¡­, please wait¡­]


    The emergency response was automatic, and it involved sending prompts to the different branches of power leading from the President down to the least that were already informed about the day and time of the invasion ahead of time.


    Instantly after the prompt was sent, they reacted.


    In the Presidential Vi, President Shanks gave the order as the gigantic Presidential Vi caved in the next moment, enabling an even more massive dome-shaped metal armor to emerge and engulf the full structure.


    In no time, the Presidential Vi turned into a dome-shaped war fortress. The armor was not all, war turrets emerged from every avable space around this war fortress as well-trained warriors manned them.


    The muzzles of all the war turrets were focused at the skies.


    This reaction didn''t juste from the Presidential Vi, simr reactions were also detected in the headquarters of the Nightmare Army, the Elementalist Academy, and other major organizations in Darvis.


    The reactions also extended to the citizens. Even as fast-response troops from the Nightmare Army flooded the streets, the civilians reacted appropriately as they were evacuated to the prepared shelters.


    These reactions were instantaneous across the whole of Darvis. This showed an uncanny unity that was not found in the 5 years ago.


    In just a few minutes, Darvis fully entered war mode!


    BOOM!


    This was when the sonic boom finally reverberated across the skies as the forward hull of the Golden Cicada finally prated into the atmosphere.


    A second after it appeared, the full body of the Heavy Cruiser entered the atmosphere of Darvis. Like anticipated, this powerful Battleship did note alone, following behind it were its warpanions.


    Instantly after the Heavy Cruiser entered Darvis'' atmosphere, a 2nd Heavy Cruiser and an apanying Destroyer barged into the as their huge forms cast ominous ck shadows in the sky.


    A Frigate smaller and lighter than the others also followed.


    This streamlined Battleship rushed into the with venom as its high-grade sensors were already rapidly scanning the surface for movements.


    Thest of this invasion force was the 6 Combat Carriers that followed.


    Their descent was swift even as the Nak base in Darvis geared into action. The base didn''t send their Battleships out instantly, instead theyunched special beacons into the air that highlighted several spots in the.


    These highlighted spots were the location of the war turrets and otherary defense measures that Darvis already prepared for the war.


    The Nak Navy was still determined on winning the war with minimal losses, and the best way to do so was to take out the defense of the enemies.


    Without hesitation, the weapon armaments of the battleships locked on the differentary defense bases. Before they could pull the trigger though, rms rang across all the Battleships of the enemies.


    [Warning! The Golden Cicada has been locked on by another Battleship!]


    [Detecting energy type¡­, please wait¡­]


    [Energy type detected!]


    [Warning! New Battleship detected!]


    "What? Another Battleship?!"


    The Cataclysm barely started and there was already an unexpected variable.

 Chapter 399 Invasion! [2]

    [Warning! The Golden Cicada has been locked on by another Battleship!]


    [Detecting energy type¡­, please wait¡­]


    [Energy type detected!]


    [Warning! New Battleship detected!]


    The ominous readings from the Golden Cicada sent ripples of shock throughout the fleet of the Nak Navy.


    ''A Battleship? How is this possible?!''


    ''Are the readings of the Golden Cicada wrong?''


    ''No, they cannot be wrong, let''s assume the worst''.


    "Find the enemy Battleships!"


    Seated at the Commanding chair of the Golden Cicada, General Aztog had a fearsomely serious look on his face as his brain geared into overdrive.


    On the spot, he improvised to this unexpected variable, mobilizing all the warships on hismand to focus on finding the enemy Battleships.


    The Commanders of the other Battleships in the fleet didn''t need his reminder, as soon as the Golden Cicada discovered the readings, they already went to work as they focused their Battleships on finding the enemy threat.


    The Captain of the Roman Rider pushed the advanced sensor systems of this Frigate to it''s very limits as it scoured the for the location of the enemy Battleships that suddenly appeared on their radar.


    The sensor systems could not pinpoint them immediately, it was only when the Battleships moved that they finally detected movement but it was toote.


    Both Battleships emerged from the Southern Continent of Darvis, precisely the desert as a great amount of sand and dust was stirred in the air.


    Both Battleships were Destroyers!


    The Destroyers were both of the medium size range with a size of over 400 meters in length. Their size didn''t matter though, it was their armament of more than 90 missile ports and torpedounchers that really mattered.


    Inside the Commanding chair of one of the Destroyers sat Enoch.


    The eyes of this Grade C Ancestor glowed golden.


    "Enoch''s Specialty: Truth Vision!"


    His eyes gleamed. ''No vessel is perfect''.


    ''No matter how perfect it seems, there are always vulnerabilities''.


    ''There are always weak points''.


    ''My job is finding these weak points''.


    Having spent arge part of his life honing his skills in secret, learning about alien Battleships for centuries, they already became a part of him. His Specialty Ability became a manifestation of his obsession and it showed now.


    Instantly after Enoch activated the Truth Vision, all the enemy Battleships wereid to him in a 3d version, outlining most of their more ring weakpoints.


    "Target here!" Enochmanded both Destroyers.


    They no longer hesitated, they pulled the trigger.


    Instantly after both Destroyers emerged out of their hideout in the desert, they pulled the trigger as dozens of guided missiles and torpedoes were unleashed.


    That was still not all, the main cannons of both Destroyers boomed.


    Their target? The Golden Cicada!


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The first shield generator of the Golden Cicada popped as it''s energy was overloaded, the 2ndyer shield generator wobbled as it was strained to it''s limits.


    Shock rippled through the fleet of the Nak Navy.


    The Cataclysm was supposed to be a straightforward affair.


    In 3 days maximum, Darvis would have be a ruin.


    This was because despite their superior number of Grade C Superhumans, none of them had the raw power to ovee the defenses of a Battleship.


    This was what gave them the confidence of a swift victory.


    Paired with Captain Lee''s observations, they were confident.


    What they never expected was for 2 Destroyers to suddenly emerge out of Darvis. Yet, that was not all, this was just the beginning.


    Inside the Commanding chair of one of the Destroyers, Enoch''s eyes glowed even more brightly as he seemed to turn into an embodiment of golden energy.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Enoch''s Specialty: Maximum Truth Vision!"


    "Show for me!" He roared as his energy exploded.


    The next moment, Enoch no longer just focused on the Golden Cicada, the range of his Truth Vision specialty ability expanded as he was now able to see the weak point of all the Battleships to even the Combat Carriers.


    Using his ability at such range strained him as his energy dwindled rapidly, but it was all worth it as he transferred what he saw to the waiting warriors.


    All across Darvis, at the different bases where the war turrets were located, the warriors manning them received the information from Enoch.


    Without hesitation, they locked on their targets.


    [WARNING! The Golden Cicada has been locked on by more than 500 high-grade War Turrets!]


    [WARNING! The Roman Rider has been locked on by more than 500 high-grade War Turrets!]


    [WARNING! The¡­]


    [WARNING! The¡­]


    [WARNING! DANGER ALERT!]


    [WARNING! DANGER ALERT!]


    [ENGAGE DEFENSIVE MEASURES!]


    None of the Nak Battleships were given any time to react, the warriors manning the war turrets pulled the trigger as the airspace in Darvis became a scenario of fire and destruction.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The sound of hundreds of war turrets exploding their payloads into the atmosphere reverberated as it seemed like the world wasing to an end.


    The Destroyers also pitched in, dealing even more damage.


    Enoch''s war preparation for the Cataclysm fully showed it''s premise at this moment as it worked like magic. Every single Battleship and Combat Carrier of the Nak fleet was engulfed by the explosive firepower as vision was blocked.


    For minutes, the bombardment continued.


    When it finally stopped, the atmosphere was saturated with energy.


    Metallic fragments from the enemy Battleships asionally dropped from the skies, an indication of the damage that they just suffered.


    President Shanks watched from the Presidential Vi. ''Did we win?''


    Legs narrowed his eyes from the headquarters of the Nightmare Army. ''It''s too good to be true, they won''t go down without a fight''.


    A few momentster, it was like his thoughts triggered a storm.


    While they waited for the oue, they heard a roar.


    "Trigger n B!"


    "ATTACK¡­!!!"


    From afar, they could hear the frustration and extreme anger that apanied the voice as General Aztog vent his emotions.


    "Kill them all!"


    The detectors in the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance rang rms as Core Protector Daemon''s face became serious.


    "They''re counterattacking!"


    BOOM¡­!!!


    The main cannon of the Golden Cicada unleashed the first shot.


    The powerful projectile was shot straight at the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance. The shield could not hold, the projectile punched straight through it like it was nonexistent before finally hitting the metal war fortress.


    The sound of impact reverberated in an unsettling manner.


    The war fortress caved in the next moment from the force of impact.


    The war fortress survived but it was damaged.


    Also, this was just the beginning.


    The shot of the Golden Cicada opened the way to floodgates of attacks!


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The invasion instantly kicked into another gear.

 Chapter 400 Invasion! [3]

    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Explosions rocked the atmosphere of Darvis as Battleships shed.


    A war between battleships was always explosive. The impact as their main canons, torpedounchers, and gun turrets collided set off sounds like exploding dominoes as the war ruthlessly continued.


    The battle was intense.


    The only problem was that this time, it was not the one-sided Cataclysm that General Aztog and his assistants envisioned, it became much tighter than expected.


    Led by the 2 Destroyers and Enoch''s Special Ability that he had honed through centuries of preparation, and assisted by the hundreds of war turrets across the, for a few minutes, Darvis stood up to the Naks.


    This oue came as a shock to all the parties of the Nak Navy involved.


    The emergence of hundreds of war turrets was already shocking enough, the subsequent emergence of 2 hostile Destroyers pushed their shock limit further, but what really broke the dam was the performance of the Battleships.


    ''These are definitely notmon 2nd hand Battleships''.


    ''Both of these are state of the art Destroyers!''


    ''How can this be possible?''


    ''Where did they have ess to all the technology required? How did they get a Battleship-grade power reactor?''


    ''I thought there were no Mechanics in Darvis. Even if somehow they managed to get power reactors and the others, without a Mechanic, how the freaking hell did these backwater Supers create a Destroyer?''


    The shock rippling through the fleet of the Nak Navy was palpable.


    The Cataclysm was barely starting yet everything was already going south.


    The shocking performance of the Nak Navy was what prompted the base of the Nak Navy in Darvis into action. Without hesitation, the Destroyer and the Battle Cruiser that were stationed in Darvis moved into action.


    Before they could leave the envelopes of the war fortress though, having been waiting for this exact moment, Core Protector Daemon struck!


    For half a decade, Daemon had honed his skills as a Necromancer.


    For half a decade, he held himself back from using his powers on others, he kept his energy and fury all for this day, all for this moment. Now that he could finally unleash his true power, this Necromancer did not hold back.


    "Special Necromancy Ability: Underworld Teleportation!"


    "Special Necromancy Ability: Army of the Dead!"


    "Daemon Specialty: Envoy of Death!"


    BZZZ!


    Instantly, a sinister energy from the underworld filled the premises of the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance. Even as an army of the dead charged out of the underworld, the true power was still Daemon himself.


    Instantly after activating his Specialty Ability that he had been funing for the past 5 years, he shed his human body again only to embrace a Lich body.


    An Ancient Necromancy staff appeared on his hand as souls from the underworld flew out and shrieked around him like he was their god.


    Not just that, a spooky crown like a skull appeared on his head.


    Instantly after this transformation, as a powerful energy emanated with Daemon as the center, this Necromancer remembered some important tips.


    ''Battleships are weapons of mass destruction''.


    ''In a ranged battle where they arefortable to make use of all their weapon armaments, no Superhuman stand a chance against them''.


    ''Apart from pitting other Battleships against them, the only other way of going up against a Battleship is by pushing them out of theirfort zone''.


    ''Get into close range where they are much more limited''.


    ''Of course, their shield generators are extremely durable but at close range, you can effectively act as a nuisance and reduce their impact in a chaotic battlefield''.


    This was Legs'' advise just a year ago when he was asked in a higher-up meeting to give tips on how to effectively take Battleships on.


    Core Protector Daemon no longer hesitated.


    "Special Necromancy Ability: Named Skeleton Summon".


    His eerie green eyes gleamed.


    "Diablo!" He roared.


    The next moment, a familiar Bone Dragon charged out of the Underworld. Compared to 5 years ago, this Bone Dragon was not only much bigger now, it was also now far more powerful than before.


    "SCREECH¡­!"


    The loud shriek was followed by one powerful p of it''s wings as with Daemon already mounting it, the Bone Dragon soared into the skies.


    Just before the Battle Cruiser and the Destroyer could rise up to their range to join in the bombardment of the, the Bone Dragon intercepted them.


    "You go nowhere!" Deamon''s voice was cold and eerie.


    "Today, we f*ck in hell!"


    With his powerful Necromancer staff, he conjured the powers of the underworld as in close range, he bombarded both Battleships with attacks.


    He was not alone though, having prepared secretly ahead of time, as soon as their Core Protector moved, other warriors from the Core Protection Alliance also moved as with their numerous attacks, both Destroyers were overwhelmed.


    Core Protector Daemon like he promised managed to stall both Battleships with his warriors, this gave the others the opportunity to shine.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Good".


    From his Presidential Vi, President Shanks nodded as everything went ording to n. The element of surprised worked exactly as nned.


    Unlike them that everything worked for though, for the Nak fleet, it was a disaster, a certain warrior was scowling from his seat of observation.


    "Captain Lee, what is this?" He roared through themunication line.


    "¡­" The Nak Captain felt fear grip his heart.


    Despite his fear though, he still had to answer.


    "I-I am sorry, I really am, I thought I already took care of every variable, I still can''t wrap myself around how the peasants in Darvis were able to build a Battleship not to talk of such high grade Destroyers".


    "You still have the guts to call them Peasants?!"


    "I''m sorry, I deserve death".


    "Yes, you do!" He was fuming.


    While he vent his anger and frustration through themunication channel, this was when General Aztog''s voice reverberated again as he spoke through the channel.


    "We underestimated them".


    His voice was calm and collected, it was like he didn''t give a damn about what was happening.


    "We underestimated them". General Aztog''s voice was different this time as it finally showed a hint of bitterness in it.


    General Aztog turned to look at him.


    "It is what it is".


    "Our original n can''t work anymore. It doesn''t matter how they were able to get Battleships, what matters is that they''ve been able to stall us".


    "If we want to brute force through with our still superior strength, we''ll likely win but it would no longer be without as much costs as we expected".


    "If we go the brute force way, we''ll pay a significant prize".


    "The decision rests with you". General Aztog looked into the eyes of the Champion. "It''s either we suffer a great cost or we revisit our n¡­, and you act".


    Champion Onana closed his eyes as he clenched and unclenched his fists.


    A few secondster, a smile crept into his face. "Interesting¡­"


    "Hahaha¡­, I never expected Darvis to give me trouble at all".


    "I underestimated them, now they''ve attracted my curiosity".


    "I''m curious now".


    "And when I''m curious, I¡­"


    While the warship battle continued in the atmosphere, painting a picture of doom and destruction across the, new energy signatures were suddenly detected being emitted from the lightest Battleship of the Nak fleet.


    The energy signatures of the Frigate suddenly changed.


    Those in the Core Protection Alliance detected it first.


    [Warning! New extremely powerful energy source detected!]


    [Matching signatures, please wait¡­]


    [Signature matchingplete!]


    [Energy Signature: Grade B!]


    Shock rippled through the headquarters of the Core Protection Alliance.


    "Warning¡­!" They barely alerted when itunched out.


    From the base of the Roman Rider, a metallic object flew out.


    [Initiating Booting Process¡­, please wait¡­]


    [Booting Process Sessful!]


    [Wee Back Master!]


    ~Silver Surfer~


    Champion Onana easily limatized to the interface of his 2nd best battlepanion as his eyes gleamed dangerously.


    All the lights of the powerful mechanic suit powered up.


    The next moment, Onana perfected his aim and pulled the trigger.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    For a brief moment, it was like a just imploded.


    Champion Onana personally joined this battle.

 Chapter 401 The Horror Of A Grade B Mechanic; Onanas Rampage!

    ~Silver Surfer~


    [Mech Type: Rifleman Mech!]


    [Current Rifle Configuration: Positron Rifle!]


    [Scanning Surface for Targets: 3 Priority Targets found!]


    [2 Destroyers; Grade C Superhuman!]


    When the sensors of the 2 Darvis Destroyers and those of the Core Protection Alliance focused up, they noticed the small mech mounting the back of the Frigate even as it elerated closer to the.


    To those who had seen the Berserker before it''s crippling battle,pared to the bulky Mechanic Suit, the Silver Surfer looked far smaller and more streamlined, it seemed to possess more of an edge.


    Unlike Berserker that was a multipurpose Mechanic suit for both close and rangedbat, Silver Surfer was a pure Rifleman Mech who wielded only Rifles.


    The Silver Surfer wielded 3 distinct Sniper Rifles.


    2 of these Sniper Rifles were mounted on it''s back. As for thest of the Rifles, a Positron Rifle, at this moment was already aiming at Core Protector Daemon.


    "A Grade B Mechanic?!" Legs was horrified.


    "Escape!" He warned but it was already a bit toote.


    Champion Onana pulled the trigger.


    BOOM!


    A bright sh of light briefly illuminated the skies, blinding all sensors as the next moment, a concentrated red beam elerated to Darvis'' surface.


    Having detected the danger ahead of time, Daemon reacted desperately to save his life. At thest moment, this Necromancer paid with the life of his Bone Dragon as he oriented the skeleton Dragon to take the brunt of the damage.


    On impact, it was like a human skull was just mmed by a sledgehammer. A powerful sledgehammer with a great amount of heat following it.


    Crack¡­!


    The Bone Dragon stood no chance, cracks spread through the surface of it''s body immediately after impact as it shattered the next moment.


    It didn''t just shatter; the concentrated positive electrons evaporated the fragments from the shattered Bone Dragon as it disappeared instantly.


    A Grade C Bone Dragon was killed in one attack.


    Daemon''s eyes widened. "Diablo!"


    The death of his Named Skeleton affected his soul slightly but this Necromancer dared not hesitate after seeing this ridiculous disy of power.


    "Special Necromancy Ability: Underworld Teleportation!"


    Without hesitation, Daemon intended to escape this battlefield.


    For a long time, they had been teased with makeshift Grade B powerhouses. From Clown''s crazy experimental test subjects to Giant Clown himself, all these tried to model the power of a Grade B Super in vain.


    It was in this Mechanic that Daemon fully saw the horror of facing a Grade B Super, the little sh already left him suffocated.


    He dared not hesitate; his priority was to save his life first.


    ~Silver Surfer~


    [Switching to Multipurpose Rifle configuration!]


    [Selecting Bullet Type¡­]


    [Bullet Type Selected: Dimensional Stabilizer Magazines!]


    Bam!


    Instantly after Daemon moved, Champion Onana changed his Rifle configuration as he inserted a magazine and pulled the trigger. The bullet crossed the long distance in an instant before discharging its contents.


    Bzzz!


    Mid-way into the Underworld, Daemon was ruthlessly pulled back.


    [New Bullet Type Selected: Heavy Impact Magazine!]


    Bam!


    The next shot made Daemon''s danger instincts ring.


    Yet, again, he could not dodge the attack of this Grade B Mechanic. When the bullet mmed against his skeleton body, he felt something simr to what his Bone Dragon felt as the impact shattered all his bones.


    "Urghh¡­!" Daemon groaned in pain as he fell apart.


    From the first attack, it only took a few minutes and yet, Daemon was already dying. Without hesitation, this Necromancer activated his trump card again.


    The next moment, his soul separated from his fracturing body.<novelnext></novelnext>


    With his soul, escaping into the Underworld was far easier as Daemon sneaked into his territory before the Grade B Mechanic could finish him further.


    Champion Onana no longer focused on him though. Instantly after the physical Lich body of the Necromancer shattered, he focused his attention elsewhere, at the 2 gigantic Destroyers of the.


    Then, he switched his Rifles onest time.


    ~Silver Surfer~


    [Switching to Dark Rifle Configuration!]


    Instantly after the mech pulled out the pitch-ck Rifle, wisps of shadows seemed to hover around it as this Nak Champion carefully cushioned his aim.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Mech Resonance!"


    Champion Onana finally put in effort to amplify his shot.


    When he pulled the trigger, a pitch-ck beam was shot out.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    On impact, the energy shield of one of the Destroyers was overloaded as arge hole was punched through it instantly. Another shot was all it took to also severely damage the 2nd Destroyer as the Nak Battleships took it from there.


    With the Golden Cicada taking the lead, the Nak Battleships overwhelmed the defenses of both Destroyers in no time as they drove them back.


    Also, it was in this time that the Destroyer and Battle Cruiser manning the Nak base in Darvis finally rose into the skies to join the bombarding force.


    Again, the battle intensity geared into another level.


    The Grade B Mechanic became the sole deciding factor of this battlefield. The moment that he moved, the battle no longer followed the script that was meticulously written by Legs and all the other rulers of Darvis.


    The script changed and now, everything bent and followed his whims.


    Inside the Silver Surfer, Champion Onana''s cyborg eyes gleamed.


    "Nothing can stop me in my quest for freedom!"


    Darvis is mine".


    "I must capture this to adequately prepare for the Space Bugs!"


    Despite already crippling the 3 most dangerous culprits that stalled the Nak Navy, Champion Onana did not stop there as he drove the Silver Surfer further.


    ~Silver Surfer~


    [Switching Dark Rifle to low power output!]


    [Switching on Rapid Fire mode!]


    The next moment, Champion Onana no longer concentrated the power of the Dark Rifle on a single shot as they were spread out through dozens of weaker shots that were shot out in rapid session.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The little fortresses housing the war turrets that were spread all across Darvis were set on fire as the Silver Surfer rampaged.


    After hearing Legs'' warning and feeling the energy signatures of this powerful Super themselves, no Superhuman in Darvis dared to confront him head-on, they all remained in hiding as they watched.


    Champion Onana was already leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.


    His rampage set the tone for the enemy Battleships.


    Inside the Commanding chair of the Golden Cicada, General Aztog''s eyes gleamed ruthlessly. "Finally, we can start the Cataclysm!"


    "Commenceary Bombardment!"


    All the Battleships under hismand obeyed the order as they increased the output of their power reactors to the maximum, empowering their weapon armaments as they unleashed hell on the surface of Darvis.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The huge amount of destruction taking ce triggered earthquakes and tsunamis as the terrain of Darvis started changing.


    A few minutes as this domination continued and as Darvis started falling into chaos, the 6 Combat Carriers of the Nak Navy finally hit the surface.


    Instantly, thousands of elite Nak warriors charged out.


    Their Commanders were 3 Grade C Supers, General Aztog''s subordinates.


    Captain Yeoh led the delegation. "We have orders from the General".


    "Let''s invade this, raid their cities, and cause destruction".


    "Let us bring Darvis to its knees".


    The next moment, a thousand elite Nak warriors charged into the cities.

    ¡­


    The yermunity was sent into a frenzy immediately after thisary-wide announcement was released.


    Due to the atmosphere of the for the past few days, the yers already had guesses that a battle would start any moment but it was still surprising.


    The sight of the hull of the Golden Cicada prating the atmosphere of Darvis, followed by the other Battleships in his entourage, and the sight of Darvis'' Destroyers emerging, it was already ingrained in their brains.


    Yes, that was still not the climax of today to them, the climax was when Champion Onana finally made his debut on the battle alongside his mech.


    The power disyed by Silver Surfer was unlike anything they''ve experienced before. They were not only fascinated, they were awed.


    ''Holy Sh*t man! Mechanics are so cool!''


    ''Why didn''t I start in a Beginner with the Mechanic ss?''


    Despite the amount of yers that focused on the fantastical elements of Battleships engaging in battle for aerial supremacy, the others like the pro yers paid more attention to theary wide announcement.


    ''Storyline defining mission? What does that mean?''


    ''Does it mean the progression of the story can change depending on the oue of the battle? Does that also mean we can affect the oue?''


    Instantly, they could already detect a changepared tost Version. Unlike Version 1 where they were more like spectators, like was just specified, if they yed their cards right, they had the opportunity to influence more.


    They were hyped, this was exactly what yers like them loved.


    ''It is much more fulfilling to feel like we can also control things''.


    ''When we can''t affect as much, the fun reduces''.


    ''As for now, let''s get experience points''.


    Shortly after the yers joined the raid in their crazy numbers, they got exposed to the special goodies that were prepared for all the warriors defending Darvis from the powers of the aliens.

    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    War raged across the cities of Darvis as the battalions of the Nak Navy went on a rampage across the whole city, killing and causing destruction.


    Of course, due to President Shanks'' foresight, having nned for scenarios like this, no civilian was killed yet as they were all safely locked in the bunkers where they could only hear and feel the tremors of the raging battle.


    It was the warriors that bore the brunt of the Nak Invasion.


    Even as the Nak warriors invaded the streets, brave Superhuman warriors from all over Darvis did not hesitate to engage them in battle. Despite their taller and more intimidating physique, humans were not to be trifled with.


    The battle raged intensely as the raid continued in the cities.


    The only problem was, only Grade D and below were in the city streets.


    After what happened to Core Protector Daemon, all the Grade C Superhumans remained in hiding even as Champion Onana kept on wrecking havoc. The Mechanic was a one-man army, he could not be stopped.


    With his mechanic suit, he was a walking disaster bomb.


    While the battle raged intensely, from their different bunkers and hideouts, President Shanks finally called all the Grade C Superhumans to a virtual meeting.


    All of them had sullen and grave looks on their faces as they looked on.


    No one talked, not even President Shanks as they all inclined their faces to look at Legs. Having bailed them out of a desperate situation once, in this moment when they needed another miracle, they looked towards him.


    Heimdall''s face turned serious. "Can you replicate that moment again?"


    Legs shook his head. "I''m not sure".


    "I may be able to do it but I don''t want to take the risk. The lives and things at stake at this moment are too much for me to make such a gamble".


    "If I fail to replicate it, we''ll likely all die".


    "We need to find a more full-proof and reliable n".


    "There is no reliable n!" One of the Grade C Superhumans reacted.


    The introduction of a Grade B Super alreadypletely offset their tempo. Most of them still had not lived past the traumas of 5 years ago when Grade C Superhumans were ughtered like pigs by Norman.


    They no longer wanted to relieve such a moment in their lives.


    "We should surrender, we stand no chance before them". One of them finally suggested as all eyes turned to look at him in shock.


    He didn''t flinch. "We stand no chance, fighting him is suicide".


    "Our best chance of survival is to surrender".


    "And you think they''ll let us leave so carefreely?" Legs turned to re at this Grade C Superhuman. "You know what I think they''d do if we surrender?"


    He raised a finger. "The light scenario, we''ll be left alive to leave as lesser individuals in an era where our civilians turn into ve".


    "The bad scenario, we''ll also be turned into ves".


    "Yet, you know what the worst-case scenario is?"


    "¡­" They kept quiet and listened.


    Legs smirked. "Despite surrendering, they kill us nheless to avoid leaving any ties that coulde back to haunt them in the future".


    "If I was them, I would do the same thing".


    "So, do you have a n?" President Shanks looked at him.


    Legs rubbed his chin. "I need to think".


    "We can no longer win this the easy way that I thought, we can only win now or even draw if we are able toe up with a clever unconventional n".


    He closed his eyes and drowned in his thoughts and experience.


    A few secondster, Legs'' eyes snapped open and they glowed.


    "I think¡­, I may have found a n".

 Chapter 403 Blade Specialty- Twilight; Dawn Of Doom!

    The Golden Cicada was a walking disaster.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Everywhere around the powerful Heavy Cruiser was a total scene of destruction. Its powerful main canon unleashed powerful shots at intervals, reaping a lot of lives while terraforming the surface of Darvis.


    It''s main turrets and torpedounchers unleashed their payloads at regr intervals, giving the Superhumans a constant dose of suffering.


    Its main weapon armaments were not the only stars in this show though. Even as the gigantic Heavy Cruiser lumbered forward, patrolling the whole, it''s secondary weapon armaments also unleashed their payloads.


    Hundreds of guided missiles were alreadyunched at the Superhumans.


    Battleship turrets and other Artillery weapons pitted in with their firepower, painting a picture of doom and destruction as the Golden Cicada patrolled.


    Blood and fire painted Darvis red.


    This was the real Cataclysm.


    In this battlefield, without a doubt, the Golden Cicada was the undisputed overlord.


    Despite the desperate counterattacks from the Superhumans, the 3 stacked shield generators of this powerful Heavy Cruiser remained intact as they withstood all the damage that came their way, putting in an impressive showing.


    With the other Nak Battleships assisting it, it''s supremacy remained true.


    The Golden Cicada was not the only Battleship wreaking havoc across the though. Under the orders of their Commanders, the other Nak Battleships also wreaked havoc as more destruction spread across the.


    Despite the desperate resistance from the barely surviving Destroyers belonging to the humans, both Destroyers barely held themselves against the rampant attacks that swallowed their shields and ate at their armor.


    This situation gave the Nak fleetplete control over the air.


    Their aerial superiority aided the Cataclysm.


    In the end, despite the meticulous ns, predictions, and preparations that the Superhumans of Darvis did for 5 years and some even for centuries, they still couldn''t cheat nature to defy absolute power.


    In the end, absolute power remained superior.


    All the Shelters in Darvis where the humans inhabited were already caught in mes at some point. The superior firepower of the Nak Battleships was so dominating that the warriors in Darvis could only barely resist.


    Since the invasion started, it was just barely past 2 hours but the casualties on the part of the humans already turned ridiculous.


    "Kill them!" A warrior with torn battle armor and blood sshed over all his face roared as he grabbed his Spear tighter.


    "We can''t let them have our!"


    "This is our! This is our home!"


    "We can''t let them win!" His voice sounded desperate.


    After living in the paradise that Darvis became for 5 years under President Shanks'' leadership, this warrior wanted nothing else. He no longer wanted his children and further generations to experience anything worse.


    "If Darvis is no longer ours, I no longer see any attraction in living". He cackled maniacally as he red at the Battleships and the Nak warriors.


    "I''m not about to stay behind and let my children be ves!"


    "I will fight to the death to protect the sovereignty of humanity!"


    "Who is with me?!"


    "Me!"


    The blood of the Superhumans was burning hot.


    Riding the wave of their hot-bloodedness, they gave their all to fighting the field troops of the Nak Navy that were wreaking havoc everywhere.


    Every defeat motivated them to give their all.


    Every death gave the others the courage to face death calmly without flinching, they were hellbent on revenging theirrades who already died in this war, they were ready to give their all.


    "Do not lose hope!"


    "The President and the High Officials have our backs!"


    "I believe by now they already have a n in ce to save us!"


    "All we need to do is to stay strong and give our best to fight!"


    No specific Commander said these words. Some of them that said it were not even truly confident in it, they just said it to increase their morale and that of their battlepanions as everyone was dying away by the minute.


    Boom!


    While they fought valiantly, another shot from the Golden Cicada suddenlynded in their location as without any resistance, they were all evaporated.


    At hisst moments, the warrior with torn battle armor epted his fate.


    ''For Darvis!''<novelnext></novelnext>


    He died alongside the others.


    Scenes like this were all across the as the Cataclysm continued with impunity. Even as more warriors motivated themselves, they also died.


    While all these happened, hidden in a bunker, certain warriors watched.


    de clenched his fists as he watched the scene of destruction disying through the virtual screen.


    ''Unforgivable!'' His tightened fists made crackling sounds.


    The sight of the powerful mechanic suit wreaking havoc with each shot sent tremors through his heart, but they also ignited the battle fire in his spirit.


    He closed his eyes and remembered the n, Legs'' unconventional n.


    ''In 2 hours, de, lead the 2 damaged Destroyers to corner the Grade B Mechanic, you must iste him from all the other Nak forces''.


    ''Don''t worry, the others will not try to interfere. The Mechanic is more than strong enough to take on all of you, he will dly bash you and the Destroyers to vent his anger while the Nak General and the others continue the Cataclysm''.


    ''Keeping the Mechanic isted is extremely pivotal to my n''.


    ''But before moving, wait for exactly 2 hours from now''.


    ''During this time, I and every other Grade C Superhuman in the except Daemon will go to the Beast ne''.


    Legs'' eyes gleamed. ''I need to tame a beast''.


    ''That n? Will it work?'' Even President Shanks was desperate.


    Legs gave no reaction. ''It''s an extreme and unconventional n, but like we all know, desperate times calls for desperate measures''.


    ''We must do everything we can to survive''.


    ''I don''t know about you all, but I want to survive''.


    de rxed his fists as his muscles also rxed. Despite with the help of the 2 Destroyers, as just a Grade C Pugilist, going up against any Grade B Super was literally a suicide mission, they sent him because he was him.


    de''s eyes snapped open as his eyes gleamed.


    ''Mentor, this is the exact reason why you gave me your experience''.


    ''Alone, I may not win''.


    ''But with your presence and experience, I will not lose''.


    He clenched his fists again and this time they induced a mini sonic boom.


    "It''s now or never!" He growled.


    The next moment, from underneath one of the numerous secret bases that were built across Darvis, a powerful energy was detected as aggressive Pugilist energy sted everywhere with the emergence of a single warrior.


    "It''s the Pugilist Master!" Those who saw him recognized him.


    "We''re saved!"


    Shing!


    de unsheathed the Lightsaber the next moment as he red at the Mechanic who hovered in the air.


    The quality of the Lightsaber attracted the Mechanic''s attention.


    He frowned. ''A Cutting-Edge Weapon? Howe?''


    ''This is not possible. What is the secret in Darvis?''


    de gave his curiosities no considerations though.


    His blood burned hot like a furnace. "Today, it''s me and you".


    "Today, we tangle".


    "Today, one of us dies".


    He grabbed the Lightsaber tighter.


    "de Specialty: Twilight; Dawn of Doom!"


    de erupted!

 Chapter 404 The Unconventional Plan

    Legs'' n was an unconventional one.


    It was filled with crazy elements, and only a reincarnator like him who came to Darvis with future knowledge would have been able to make it.


    "It''s the Pugilist Master!"


    Even as the thousands of Superhumans fighting for their lives and their celebrated the emergence of the Pugilist Master, they also wondered why he came alone and why the other Grade C Superhumans didn''t'' follow him.


    de did not give a damn about their considerations though.


    Legs gave him an impossible task to fulfill, but he was de for a reason, he existed to cut through every opposition.


    ''This is my chance to avenge mom''.


    ''This is my chance to avenge Uncle Hedonak''.


    ''This is my chance to avenge the Hero tribe''.


    Psyched to a crazy extent already, he no longer saw the powerful Grade B Mechanic as an insurmountable target, he instead saw it as a routine kill target.


    While Onana wondered about how this Pugilist was able to get his hands on a Cutting-Edge Weapon, de exploded forward like aunched torpedo.


    "de Specialty: Twilight; Dawn of Doom!"


    Instantly, the skies turned dark. And from the dark skies, ck shadowy wisps of sword energy converged around the powerful Pugilist.


    de took one step and it felt like he took a thousand steps.


    BOOM!


    That one step took him across hundreds of kilometers as he appeared beside the Mechanic suit the next moment, Enoch''s words floated into his ears at this moment as his eyes gleamed with ambition.


    ''I have analyzed the enemy mechanic suit''.


    ''It is extremely powerful; you will die if you tank it''s attacks head-on. The only way to stand a chance against it is to force it into closebat''.


    ''Closebat is this mechanic suit''s weakness''.


    As de remembered this, his eyes turned pitch-ck.


    Then, he finally swung the Lightsaber.


    Whoosh!


    Crack!


    Visible ck cracks appeared in the air as the Lightsaber moved through, cutting a void through space. The eyes of the mechanic suit glowed, reflecting the shock of it''s pilot as it reacted instantly to the attack.


    A blue shield generator first popped to life, followed by a silver one.


    Before the 3rd shield could emerge, the sword hit its mark.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    For a brief moment, the sound of collision left the impression that the world was reallying to an end due to the ongoing Cataclysm.


    The shockwave from the collision spread ripples through the air.


    ~Silver Surfer~


    [Warning! Critical Hit!]


    [Multiple Mech Systems have been damaged!]


    Onana was not just shocked by the damage that this Pugilist was able to output, he also felt annoyed that at this moment, his beloved Berserker was damaged. Despite his annoyance, he did not take the attack calmly, he retaliated.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Mech Recycling!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: True Resonance!"


    Instantly after the first ability was activated, the damaged parts of the mechanic suit were recovered.


    Then, the 2nd ability took effect.


    Before the muzzle of the huge Dark Rifle could light up with dark energy, de''s danger instincts already screamed wildly at him as he tried to dodge.


    BAM!


    Unfortunately, he could not dodge.


    When the ck beam hit him, de felt like he was embraced by the God of Death. Even as the beam drove a ck hole through him, he felt all his cells degrading rapidly as he fell from the skies.


    Onana did not stop at that.


    Bam! Bam!


    Subsequent shots left the Pugilist Master terribly injured in a short time. Before Onana could shoot again though, the sensors of his Silver Surfer alerted him.


    BOOM!


    One of the Destroyers finally shifted its attention here.


    The shot from it''s main cannon moved through the atmosphere with venom. Champion Onana strained the flight systems of his mechanic suit just to dodge.


    He dodged the first, but he could not dodge the second.


    The mechanic suit received a direct hit as metallic fragments fell off it''s lean but powerful form. The next moment, the sensors of the Silver Surfer transmitted to Champion Onana that the 2 Destroyers were alreadying his way.


    He scowled. "You underestimate me!"


    "Come at me, I will show you the power of a Grade B Mechanic!"


    Seeing the reaction of the Grade B Mechanic, de smirked. ''Just like Legs predicted, he is ready to face me and both Destroyers alone''.


    ''Hehe¡­, this is going to be fun''. de grabbed his Lightsaber tighter.


    While the 2 Destroyers tangled with the powerful Mechanic, straining their gigantic metal hulls and shields to defend against his attacks, de was left free to attack with impunity as he became akin to a bug to the Nak Champion.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Special Pugilist Ability: Floating Steps of Glory!"


    "de Specialty: Poseidon''s Tsunami sh!"


    "de Specialty: de of Grit!"


    "de Specialty: de of Defiance!"


    "Special Pugilist Ability: Vacuum Push!"


    "Stones'' Specialty: Fists of Obliteration!"


    "Stones'' Specialty: Ultimate Defense!"


    "Stones'' Specialty: Ultimate Retribution- Fists of Justice!"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    As the battle raged, de got the opportunity to settle into his domain more as he was able to harness more of his incredible experience and power.


    He used literally every arsenal in his books to annoy the Grade B Mechanic.


    To fulfill his assigned mission, he was determined to be an annoying bug.


    It was when Champion Onana''s annoyance finally hit a limit and he decided to pay more attention to him that de finally decided to hit his peak.


    His pitch-ck eyes seemed to be gateways to hell.


    "FORBIDDEN PUGILIST ABILITY: 3RD ULTIMATE FORM!"


    BZZZ!


    de grew extra pair of arms as he seemed to be a Battle Demon!


    His hands swung the Lightsaber at the speed of light, he moved at a speed faster than light as he tracked and spammed attacks against the Mechanic.


    Champion Onana did notg behind as he reciprocated the ferocity.


    All 3 of his Rifles boomed with powerful destructive attacks.


    Each hit left de feeling like he was dying, but to this Pugilist, if dying was the prize he had to pay to fulfil his part of the n, he would willingly do it.


    For the moment though, Champion Onana was isted from the other parts of the battlefield but to a certain General, this move seemed idiotic.


    Inside themanding chair of the Golden Cicada, General Aztog watched the chart that showed every corner of Darvis. ''Is this their n?''


    ''What do they intend to achieve?''


    ''Do they intend for this Pugilist to waste his life while the others remain hiding?'' He narrowed his eyes. ''Is this the best that they cane up with?''


    He wanted to refute his thoughts that the warriors of Darvis were better than this but he could not refute what he saw.


    All the Grade C Superhumans hiding let the Battleships of the Nak Navy wreak havoc, the whole of Darvis was already caught in mes at this moment. In a few hours more, perhaps, no Superhuman would be left alive.


    ''I am disappointed''. General Aztog expected far more resistance.


    The fact that they managed to get Destroyers and build so many war turrets in 5 years made him raise the threat evaluation of Darvis to extremely high, but the performance of their Supers now disappointed him.


    ''Perhaps I overestimated them Afterall''.


    Their performance did not let him pity them; he gave his orders consistently.


    "Do not let up, level Darvis to the ground".


    His Captains obeyed his orders as the destruction continued.


    While all these happened, unknown to the Nak warriors, apart from de, every other Grade C Superhuman was no longer in the.


    They all already left to the Beast ne.


    This was all part of Legs'' unconventional n.


    ¡­


    An hour ago, just before they entered the rainbow bridge that led to the Beast ne, Legs addressed the squad of Grade C Superhumans.


    "We are the strongest warriors in Darvis, but where we are going, we are no more than slightly more powerful enemies".


    "Our target is the Guardian Komodo Dragon".


    "For those who don''t know, the Beast ne is divided into several sub nes. The ne we are going to is actually a sub ne connected to Darvis. To ess higher nes, we need to fulfill certain requirements".


    "The greatest requirement of all is defeating the Guardian Beast".


    "They guard every border leading from a sub ne to a main ne. The Beast Family guarding the border leading from our sub ne to the major ne are the Komodo Dragons, one of them is the Guardian".


    "Is the Komodo Dragon your n to win the war?" President Shanks asked. "If it is supposed to win us the war, does that mean it is a Grade B Beast?"


    "If it''s a Grade B Beast, it''s the same, we stand no chance".


    "It''s not a Grade B Beast¡­" Legs paused. "It''s a Grade C Beast with special powers. The Guardian Komodo Dragon has special maic powers".


    "Maic?"


    "Yes, that is why we need it to subdue the Nak Champion".


    "The only way to defeat the Guardian is if you follow my attack n to the letter, execute it perfectly and we may survive".


    "This is the n¡­"


    A few minutester, they all left to the Beast ne.


    Bzzz!

 Chapter 405 Battle Against The Guardian Komodo Dragon!

    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Transporting more than 10 Grade C Superhumans to the beast ne was no easy feat. Legs could not do it alone, both President Shanks and Christensen had to help before they were able to take all the Superhumans to the Beast ne.


    They recovered from their exertion through the journey to the border.


    They arrived after 15 minutes of travel.


    The Beast ne was not like the Elemental ne. To most of the Superhumans present, this was their first timeing here but with veteran Summoners present, they were easily able to limatize to this world.


    They stopped far away from the vicinity of the apex predator.


    The border of the beast ne was like a ss mirror.


    It shimmered as it reflected images from the greenery of the world beyond. At this moment, this apex predator was taking a nap.


    The Guardian Komodo Dragon was huge, easily as big as a modern car from Legs'' previous world. Even in its state of slumber, the Komodo Dragon still seemed ferocious as its thick muscles showed through its thick skin.


    It''s thick silver scales gleamed under the glow of the violet skies like the chainmail armor of a Knight from a medieval world.


    It snorted at intervals during its nap, releasing hot mist from it''s nostrils.


    It''s long and deep forked tongue asionally extended from its mouth, tasting the air for scents of any potential prey. This long tongue was the single most distinctive feature of the Komodo Dragon.


    "Remember the n". Legs whispered to them.


    "The Guardian Komodo Dragon cannot be ambushed, it will always be the one to attack first, stay alert and don''t die". He warned.


    "So, do you think you can pull it off?" President Shanks asked.


    Legs kept quiet and looked at them all. "If you all follow the n to the tiniest details and execute it perfectly, I believe I can do the same".


    Hearing his words, all of them felt motivated.


    For the 2nd decisive war running to decide the fate of the, they were pushed to a wall and Legs was the only one who seemed to have the means to bail them out of it.


    The execution of the unconventional n finally started.


    ¡­


    "Hiss¡­!"


    A hissing sound reverberated as soon as the sensitive tongue of the Komodo Dragon caught on to the foreign scents. The gigantic Lizard did not move, it was like it discovered nothing as it stayed napping.


    While it napped, the Superhumans already surrounded it.


    While the Elementalists circled to it''s back, the Summoners remained at its sides, ready to call upon their beasts any moment.


    As for the sole Pugilist today, he snuck closer to the Komodo Dragon from the front. George''s eyes remained focused as he watched the beast closely.


    He got into his attack range, yet, the Komodo Dragon showed no reactions.


    He was horrified at the beast''s patience.


    ''Such calmness and patience, this beast is really as fearsome as Legs says''.


    Despite his thoughts, he dared not hesitate.


    "Special Pugilist Ability: Energy Punch!"


    For a brief moment, time and space seemed to stop as George channeled his Pugilist energy, clenching his fist to punch but the next moment, it moved.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    The Komodo Dragon''s head moved so fast that George barely reacted.


    Legs'' words floated to his ears. ''The Komodo Dragon is a deadly assassin, a Guardian Komodo Dragon is even more deadly''.


    ''They can move extremely fast, executing point-nk ambush assassinations''.


    While George''s fists were still clenching, the razor-sharp rows of teeth of this huge monster were already closing in on his head.


    The only reason why he didn''t try to dodge was because he hadplete trust in the abilities of hisrades to react, and he was not disappointed.


    "Newton Specialty: Acid Ground!"


    "Sage Elementalist Ability: The Dragon of the West!"


    Instantly after the Komodo Dragon made it''s move, Newton reacted sharply. Having thrown it a fraction of a second ahead of time, the chemical sshed on the ground as instantly, the ground before the Komodo Dragon turned into an acid pit.


    Once the huge lizard stepped on it, it''s legs sizzled and suffered as its scales were burnt and chewed into by the lethal acid.


    "ROAR¡­!!!" The Komodo Dragon was angered.


    As soon as it turned, intending to channel its anger towards the enemy who attacked it from behind, it was greeted with raging fire.


    BOOM!


    "ROAR¡­!!!" The Komodo Dragon roared in pain.


    It was while this beast roared in pain that a special bottle flew into the fire. The extreme heat of the fire messed with the sensors of the huge lizard''s tongue, it was unable to detect it ahead of time as the bottle flew in.


    Before it could react, the bottle flew into it''s widely opened mouth as it roared. Inside its mouth, the bottle shattered and emptied its contents.


    One of George''s most potent potions was emptied inside its stomach.


    Instantly, the skin of the Komodo Dragon turned pale and purple like it was poisoned, it''sbat power also decreased drastically by approximately 30%.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Newton and George''s perfect execution of their part of the n prompted the others into action.


    The others no longer hesitated.


    "Special Summoner Ability: Beast ne Teleportation!"


    "Special Summoner Ability: Beast Integration!"


    Bzzz!


    Gorgon, President Shanks, and Christensen moved at almost the same time as they called upon their beasts. Like nned, they all integrated with the most physically strong of their contracted beasts as they jumped into battle.


    Alongside their beasts, they led the attack from the Komodo Dragon''s sides.


    "Eleanor Specialty: Hallow of Blessings!"


    Instantly, a pink light erupted with High Official Eleanor as the center as this light engulfed all the participants of this battle, augmenting their power.


    While George''s exclusive ss S potion reduced thebat power of the Komodo Dragon, High Official Eleanor''s ability augmented the others.


    Without hesitation, they all jumped into battle.


    The Elementalists spammed attacks against the Komodo Dragon, the Summoners attacked with their powerful contracted beasts, while the sole Pugilist, George bravely faced the massive beast from the front.


    George shed with the huge Komodo Dragon blow for blow.


    Bzzz!


    The Komodo Dragon feeling the threat of the enemies erected a shield to protect itself even as it finally put it''s all into the battle.


    Despite putting it''s all though, from the beginning when it let the Superhumans execute their ns perfectly, it already lost the initiative.


    Psyched by their circumstances and what would happen depending on the oue of this battle, all the Superhumans executed Legs'' n till perfection.


    After 42 minutes of battle where they dominated throughout, dealing lethal attacks to the Komodo Dragon, it seemed that they would finally win, but it was not over. What they seeded in doing was truly riling up the beast.


    The Komodo Dragon roared onest time.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    This time, it''s roar was not ordinary, power apanied it.


    And for the first time, the Guardian Komodo Dragon spoke.


    "Filthy intruders, witness the power of Maism!"


    BZZZ!


    The next moment, it was like the power of God came into action. Maism acts on metals, and the human blood was made up of blood which contains metal.


    Acting upon these minute traces of metal, the Komodo Dragon''s sole ability that made it the Guardian to the higher beast ne came into effect.


    None of the Grade C Superhumans could fight it, they were yanked towards the Komodo Dragon with such speed that they had no time to react nor resist.


    Even if they were fast enough, they did not have the power to resist.


    The Superhumans were not the only ones that were attracted, even the soil had minute traces of metals.


    Once the power of maism triggered, even the soil in the ground was also affected as the Komodo Dragon seemed to be the point of singrity.


    This was not just an attraction; the attraction tore the culprits apart.


    -----


    [Warning! You have been affected by a Guardian Ability: Hyper Maism!]


    [You are receiving severe damage every second!]


    ----


    Legs was the only Superhuman who did not take part in the attack against the Komodo Dragon, yet despite his distance, the maism also affected him.


    While the Superhumans were pulled towards the Komodo Dragon, it''s scales turned thicker as it''s body transformed into a giant thick lump of metal.


    Its poor targets would be mmed against it''s thick metal scales on impact, and in the worst case scenario, the force of impact st them to smithereens.


    All the Superhumans'' lives were in danger.


    Despite all these though, Legs remained calm until he saw it.


    -----


    [Warning! You have been affected by a Guardian Ability: Hyper Maism!]


    [You have been affected by the pull of maism!]


    ----


    Legs could not resist it; the pull finally overcame his resistance.


    As he was pulled away, his eyes gleamed. ''It''s finally my time''.


    ''It''s time for my show''. Excitement gripped his heart.

 Chapter 406 [Bonus ]Subduing A Guardian Komodo Dragon!

    Legs'' n was always banked on the Guardian Komodo Dragon''s Special Power, that was the power that could make or break his n.


    Due to that single ability of Hyper Maism, no matter how many Grade C Beasts or Superhumans go up against it, the Komodo Dragon would alwayse out on top so long it had enough mana points to sustain it.


    And coincidentally, Komodo Dragons were renowned for their ridiculous amount of mana points which now yed in its favor.


    Legs considered all these before he made his n.


    His n was never to defeat the Komodo Dragon inbat, his n had always been to beat the Komodo Dragon at its own game.


    His ideology was; if you can''t beat them, buy them.


    In this scenario though was; if you can''t beat them, subdue them.


    Legs'' eyes gleamed as the power of maism pulled him away against his will. He activated an ability that he had been working on over the past 5 years in Darvis, an ability that would surely help him at this moment.


    One of Legs'' strongest advantages was his future knowledge about Dominator. Seeing the sess he gained through it, over the past 5 years in Darvis, one of his greatest obsessions was striving to magnify this advantage.


    This was what led into the current Specialty Ability that he created.


    -----


    You have activated Self-Created Ability: False Reality!


    ¡­


    You have been affected by a Special Ability from your ally: Increased Ability Potency!


    ----


    High Official Eleanor helped Legs through all the chaos.


    Due to the chaos that was caused by all the maic energy flying about, the extremely sensitive tongue of the Komodo Dragon could not notice it as one of it''s targets secretly amplified another enemy that it did not know of.


    Eleanor''s help aided Legs in pushing himself over the edge.


    False Reality was the ability that Legs created to increase his advantages. When activated, this ability amplified his aura of intimidation and power, his sense of authority, it amplified everything that defined his identity as a warrior.


    By amplifying all these essential traits, his aura became far more potent and oppressive than his real grade and power level.


    In essence, this ability made him look and seemrger than life.


    BZZZ!


    With Eleanor''s help, instantly after Legs activated the False Reality, the Komodo Dragon finally detected it as its attention was drawn to the new enemy.


    On looking at Legs though, the Guardian Komodo Dragon hissed as the aura from this new enemy finally made it feel intimidated.


    As a Guardian though, it would not surrender so easily without a fight.


    This was what led to the final parts of Legs'' master n.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Teleportation


    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration


    You have fused with Predator


    [Base Control Level: 65%]


    [+10% Base Control Level from hierarchy!]


    [Intermediate Summoner Knowledge: Enhanced Leadership Detected!]


    [+15% Control Level!]


    [Overall Control Level: 90%]


    ----


    After 5 years of growth, morebat experience, and familiarization, Legs'' overall control level when fused with Predator finally increased to an incredible 90%. This was already close to the perfect of 100%.


    This fusion increased his aura even more and added an aggressive aura to it.


    Predator''s aggression emanated through his fiery eyes.


    This was still not all, apart from Predator, every single one of his other beasts were also summoned as they also harnessed thisrger-than-life aura.


    At this moment, Warp Prime was currently in his Dark Warg form. The sight of this powerful beast with dark energy was enough to intimidate anyone.


    The sight of all these powerful beasts and the Summoner itself sent ripples of trepidation through the heart of the Guardian Komodo Dragon.


    The Guardian Komodo Dragon was experiencing these feelings for the first time in centuries since it became the guardian of the Beast ne border.


    The Guardian Komodo Dragon ground it''s teeth as it felt challenged and intimidated, it remained stubborn, it refused to bow to another opponent.


    "HISS¡­!" It hissed loudly.


    The sight of this caused a smirk to appear across Legs'' face.


    The reaction of the Guardian Komodo Dragon proved to him that his n and acting was almost perfect and it worked. The Komodo Dragon was already pushed to the edge, what was needed now was the finishing touches.


    ''It''s now or never''. Legs'' eyes shone brightly like a fiery furnace.


    -----<novelnext></novelnext>


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    You have activated active ability: Pounce


    You have activated active ability: w Bombardment


    You have activated active ability: Tusks of Death


    ----


    Fused with Predator, Legs looked nothing like a human and he definitely didn''t act like one. Leading his contracted beasts along, he charged towards the humans who were originally fighting the Guardian Komodo Dragon.


    Without hesitation, Legs pounced on the closest Grade C Superhuman.


    With his powerful ws and Tusks, he attacked ruthlessly.


    BAM!


    One attack was all it took to eliminate the powerful Grade C Superhuman as the w mmed against him like a sledgehammer while he died instantly.


    From there, Legs drove at another Grade C Superhuman with his powerful Tusks. This Superhuman could not dodge, he was just too fast, and before he could react, the Tusks already stabbed him as another human gave up the ghost.


    From there, alongside his beasts, he pounced at the beasts of the Summoners. They stood no chance as he and his beasts steamrolled through them.


    It was not even a contest; it was a one-sided ughter.


    In 5 seconds, Legs and his extremely powerful beasts singlehandedly ughtered the squad of Grade C Superhumans that were dominating the Guardian Komodo Dragon in battle for the past dozens of minutes.


    "¡­!" The Guardian Komodo Dragon was frozen in shock.


    Unknown to it, it already deactivated it''s Hyper Maism instinctively.


    The power showed by this new enemy was just so shocking that even this beast was shocked to its very core, the Guardian Komodo Dragon felt intimidated.


    Having finished with the humans, Legs'' fiery eyes turned towards it.


    The Guardian Komodo Dragon shuddered as it''s bestial instincts were subdued, it instinctively submitted to the power of a higher authority.


    This was a game of the mind and Legs firmly held the initiative.


    He took a step forward.


    Thud!


    The Guardian Komodo Dragon shuddered.


    He took another step forward.


    Thud!


    The Guardian Komodo Dragon lowered it''s stance.


    He took another step forward.


    Thud!


    The Guardian Komodo Dragon lowered it''s head slightly, it was already admitting defeat and surrendering due to the power that it just witnessed.


    A few secondster, Legs stood before the Guardian Komodo Dragon and looked straight into it''s intelligent eyes with an arrogant confidence and nonchnce only exclusive to truly powerful beings and monsters.


    These confident eyespleted the convincing process, the Guardian Komodo Dragon was already thoroughly convinced that it was before a monster.


    At this point, it would not even believe his own biological father if he imed that he had what it takes to take on this Summoner and win.


    While ring into it''s eyes, Legs made his move.

    ----


    Legs red into its eyes. "SURRENDER!"


    His voice boomed like thunder, the Komodo Dragon felt chills.


    The next moment, the beast was subdued, it sumbed to the feeling of inferiority that now settled deep inside it as it bowed it''s head before this Summoner the next moment.


    The Guardian Komodo Dragon was tamed.

    Congrattions! You have tamed an Adult Guardian Komodo Dragon!

    ----


    Just one look at the status of the Guardian Komodo Dragon told Legs how much of a risk he just took, and how much of a genius his n was.


    Without a doubt, from it''s status, this Guardian Komodo Dragon was the strongest Grade C beast that Legs had encountered to date.


    Compared to Predator and the likes, this beast was far superior.


    ''I won the jackpot!'' Legs clenched his right fist.


    For the first time since the cataclysm started, he felt a feeling of satisfaction stir within him as the uncertainty of the situation faded a bit.


    After suffering so much during the arc of the Clown Society, sacrificing so much for victory, he wanted to make a change in Version 2.


    This was why he strived so hard to help President Shanks develop the, this was why he didn''t blink twice in revealing some of his core secrets that he had the means to bring Mechanics to Darvis from far aways.


    With his assistance, Darvis developed rapidly, bing the stalwart that it currently was but he was never assured because he knew Dominator.


    Some of the sequences during Version 1 reminded him that this time, he was not living in a monotonous game, he was living in a real game world.


    Depending on how much he interfered, it was already proven that the game could also improvise, even going as far as changing the storyline.


    This was what increased his uncertainty.


    ''Did my intervention make things better or did it worsen things?''


    ''Will the cataclysm really y out as I imagined?''


    His paranoia in the end proved to not be without basis after the emergence of the Grade B enemy Mechanic.


    When he made his ns, he never put in the factor of a Grade B Superhuman because no Grade B Superhuman arrived in Version 2 during his previous life, this was another ripple effect of his actions.


    Despite hating the changes, Legs had no choice but to adapt as they came. It was either he improvised, or his quest in getting stronger ends which indirectly meant his quest to knowing the full mystery of reincarnation also ends.


    The pressure pushed him into making the unconventional n.


    And now, here he was, already extremely close to achieving his objective.


    The Guardian Komodo Dragon trilled softly as Legs patted its head, rubbing its scaly body even as the humans also finally stood up.


    When the humans suddenly stood up from death, the Komodo Dragon froze.


    "Hiss¡­!" It hissed as realization finally dawned on it.


    Despite being tamed already, the Komodo Dragon did not suddenly lose its personality. It was still the ferocious Guardian of the border, this was when it finally realized that it was yed by the humans.


    Its sensitive tongue would have detected the truth long ago that the humans were not dead if it was in the right state of mind, but unfortunately, Legs'' disy offset it so much psychologically which spilled on to its physical performance.


    In the end, psychological battle mattered as much if not even more than the physical battle, the Guardian Komodo Dragon learned an important lesson today.


    The look that it gave Legs changed instantly.


    Legs rubbed its head. "No hard feelings bro, a man got to do what a man has to do to survive this cruel world".


    Seeing the scene before them, all of the Grade C Superhumans who apanied Legs to the Beast ne were stunned.


    ''He did it¡­ again''. The same sentence rang in all their minds.


    Again, they saw Legs perform a miracle, making the impossible possible.


    When Legs proposed the n, all of them thought it was crazy but since there was no better n, they had no choice but to go through with it.


    They had to fulfill their parts of the n while praying that none of them die, but the real hardest part was the part yed by Legs.


    He had to really act like he hated them and was willing to kill them, and his attacks had to really hurt to be able to trick the Guardian Komodo Dragon.


    In the end, Legs pulled off a perfect Oscar worthy performance.


    They were all amazed and awed.


    "We did it?" President Shanks walked closer as he asked.


    "Yeah, we more or less did". Legs smiled.


    The President finally looked through the colorful barrier that separated this sub ne of the Beast ne from the higher ne.


    Legs read his intentions. "Yes, if you want, since the Guardian is already taken care of, all of us can take a trip to the higher ne but it''s dangerous".


    "Not only do Grade B Beasts reside there, there are also Grade A Beasts".


    The sparkling look in the eyes of the others immediately dimmed.


    "Besides, remember, de is currently risking his life on our behalf".


    That remark immediately drew them back to what mattered. For a brief moment, they already forgot but this reminded them, they were currently at war.


    They came here to achieve a goal which they already got.


    They all looked at Legs. "So, what next?"


    Legs'' rubbing of the Komodo Dragon''s scales turned rough even as his face turned serious, his energy turned turbulent.


    "We execute the craziest part of the n".


    ¡­


    It was already a couple of hours since the aerial bombardment by the Nak Battleships started, and Darvis was already a scene of total carnage.


    The cries of pain of dying warriors reverberated.


    The roars of anger of warriors losing theirrades echoed unceasingly.


    Combining the cries and roars with the burning world engulfed by fire, and the blood dying everywhere red, Darvis painted a perfect picture of an ongoing Apocalypse or a Cataclysm.


    Unless a miracle happened, Darvis was already lost.


    p¨£§ád¨£ §«?¦Í¨º1,§ã¨°§® Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The sound of collisions reverberated like thunder.


    Here stood the only warrior who defended the with vigor.


    Darvis will not fall!"


    de already had blood all over his face and body, hisbat armor was torn and damaged but he didn''t let this affect his will to save his.


    "I must fulfill my master''s will!"


    "I must not fail my master''s expectations!"


    "I must save the!"


    Screaming words at random intervals, de seemed like a mad man as he shed against the strongest enemy of the Nak Navy. The defense by the 2 Destroyers were already now tame as both were close to their limits.


    They could barely keep themselves afloat in the skies.


    Champion Onana thrashed them singlehandedly.


    "Weaklings!" He taunted.


    "I expected more resistance from you lots".


    As the oue of the battle increasingly tilted in the favor of the Nak Navy, Champion Onana finally regained his casual spirit to taunt his opponents.


    "I admire your grit and determination but they are useless".


    "Against a warrior of my caliber, you stand no chance".


    Darvis does not deserve you".


    "Join my cause to fulfill your true potential".


    de red at this warrior. "Get lost!"


    "Stones'' Specialty: Obliteration Fist!"


    Champion Onana sneered. "Futile".


    He erected the shield generator of the Silver Surfer to defend against the attack but at thest second, his danger instinct suddenly spiked.


    "Huh?"


    ~Silver Surfer~


    [Warning! Discovering Unusual Fluctuations in ce!]


    [WARNING! Space-time¡­]


    "What?!"


    Champion Onana was shocked as his mechanic suit was suddenly locked in ce, he felt his heart skip a beat.


    de''s eyes gleamed as he seemed to develop a crazy edge.


    ''It''s finally time''.

 Chapter 408 Climax; Fighting Against A Grade B Mechanic! [1]

    ~Silver Surfer~


    [Warning! Discovering Unusual Fluctuations in current airspace!]


    [WARNING! Space-time Stabilizers detected!]


    [WARNING! Multiple Grade C Super energy signatures detected!]


    [Matching energy signatures¡­, please wait¡­]


    [Match Found: President Shanks!]


    [Match Found: Army Commander Legs!]


    [Match Found: Old Monster Gorgon!]


    [Match Found: ¡­]


    [Match Found: ¡­]


    [WARNING! Detecting a strange beast energy signature!]


    Champion Onana was shocked at the notifications that his mechanic suit''s interface spammed at him; he froze as he watched.


    BZZZ!


    The first thing that he saw was the familiar rainbow bridge that led to the beast ne opening directly in front of de.


    A familiar Pugilist that he already knew was the first to emerge.


    "George Specialty: Beast State!"


    "George Specialty: Nature Punch!"


    Instantly after the Pugilist appeared, hair rapidly grew from his body as he grew bigger on the spot, seeming to be a huge and extremely powerful Ape.


    George didn''t just transform to be an Ape, his Pugilist energy seeped into his body, transforming his body, blood, and bones as a red mist started emanating out of this Pugilist even as his eyes also turned blood-red.


    A natural Pugilist energy seemed to surround him, making him seem all-powerful. At this moment, George became in tune with nature energy.


    Instantly after his transformation, entering his strongest state, George did not hesitate as he took a step forward and threw his strongest punch.


    de was right behind him as he moved.


    de''s eyes gleamed. "Special Talent: Demi-Singrity!"


    "de Specialty: Singrity sh!"


    This was de''s strongest ability!


    Merging the power increase from his mentor''s ultimate 3rd form with his Demi-Singrity talent and now his strongest one-hit ability, de entered a zone state where he became one with the Lightsaber.


    His sh hit at almost the same time as George''s punch hit.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    The sound that reverberated was like exploding dominoes even as metallic fragments were torn and shattered from the surface of the mechanic suit.


    Onana''s eyes widened as his mech suit lit more notifications.


    ~Silver Surfer~


    [CRITICAL HIT!]


    [Shield Generator overloaded!]


    [Armor integrity has decreased by 8%!]


    8% may not seem like much but since this inter-racial war started hours ago, this was not just the first time that the Silver Surfer suffered significant damage, but this was also the first time that its armor integrity decreased.


    Thebination of George and de''s strongest states and strongest abilities were able to briefly ovee the defenses of this Monster Mechanic.


    Bzzz!


    This was when the others finally arrived.


    Directly behind George, Gorgon led the way out of the Beast ne. All the Grade C Superhumans in Darvis appeared at this very moment.


    Seeing all of them, Onana''s eyes widened in understanding.


    p¨£§ád¨£ §«?¦Í¨º1,§ã¨°§® ''Is this why de gave his life to iste me from the others?''


    ''Was their n all along to iste me and gang up on me?''


    He smirked. ''You underestimate the power of a Grade B Super!''


    While Champion Onana''s anger boiled, the Superhumans gave his feelings no considerations as they executed Legs'' crazy mastern.


    Apart from the 2 Pugilists who attacked the Mechanic immediately after they arrived, the others all hurdled together around Gorgon like they were protecting him, Champion Onana was perplexed at their motive.


    This was when they took action.


    Eleanor''s eyes glowed a pure white. "Eleanor Specialty: Ultimate Support!"


    "Eleanor Specialty: Energy Induction!"


    "Eleanor Specialty: Mana Amplification!"


    "Eleanor Specialty: Energy Amplification!"


    As all the bright and powerful energies from the abilities that she activated swirled around her glowing form, she ced her hand on Gorgon and transmitted all the raging energy into the body of the powerful Summoner.


    She was not the only one, Legs also made his move.


    His eyes gleamed. ''We can''t make any mistake now''.


    ''We win or we die!'' His eyes glowed with power.

    ¡­


    You have triggered innate Passive Ability: Adrenaline!


    ----


    Instantly, Legs felt his blood burning hot like it was on fire!


    The boost from triggering and activating abilities from his sub ss also affected Gorgon, this Old Monster Summoner no longer hesitated.


    Having been tutoring Christensen during the past 5 years, Christensen stood directly beside this legendary Summoner as they both chanted an incantation.


    "As cold as winter¡­"


    "As still as frozen waters¡­"


    "Rise, thest of the Draconic Primordials¡­"


    This little incantation created by Gorgon triggered a strange power.


    During the hours while de and both Destroyers fought against Champion Onana, de subtly directed the location of the battle to the Northern Continent.


    Now, after this incantation, the powers of frost and cold were called upon.


    Both Summoners finished the incantation and activated the abilities.


    Gorgon''s face was strained like he was fighting against the world, his Summoner energy erupted rampantly like a chaotic river flooding over its banks.


    "Gorgon Specialty: Genjutsu Eyes!"


    "Gorgon Specialty: Illusory Beast Taming!"


    "Gorgon Specialty: Target- Absolute Zero!"


    Instantly after the name of the beast was called, the skies briefly turned dark as lightning snaked through the skies. There was a response from deep in the North.


    BZZZ!


    The spatial fluctuations were followed by a powerful roar.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    While the roar sounded, Gorgon''s eyes zed over and turned white.


    ''Sess!'' All the Grade C Superhumans were ecstatic.


    The next moment, from deep in the North, the horrors of the Apocalypse that were locked outside the humans'' shelters were finally called upon.


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    Their hooves hitting the ground caused an earthquake!


    Their wings propelling them through the air caused hurricanes!


    While General Aztog watched with shock from themanding chair of the Golden Cicada, over a million beasts rose from the North!


    Both beasts of the air andnd, and even the sea, they filled everywhere like a swarm of locusts as they charged out.


    They didn''te alone; their leader also came out.


    Absolute Zero made a public appearance after centuries of inactivity.


    Whoosh!


    One p of its gigantic wings triggered a frosty hurricane.


    Absolute Zero was an Ancient Dragon, a Primordial Frost Dragon who was one of the Monster Leaders who led the horde of beasts into Darvis, kickstarting the apocalypse that started the super era.


    Absolute Zero was huge, bigger than any other beast in Darvis, it''s body had blue and white elements, and around it was pure frost and cold.


    Another p of it''s wings and this monster broke the sound barrier.


    BOOM¡­!


    In less than a second, it arrived at the isted part of the battlefield where Champion Onana was trapped. This was when the Champion saw it clearly, like Gorgon, at this moment, this Primordial Beast''s eyes were also white.


    ''He''s controlling it''. He realized it but it was a little toote.


    Absolute Zero opened its gigantic mouth and breath frost!


    BOOM¡­!!!


    It was too fast to dodge, it was too powerful for the Silver Surfer''s shield to shrug off, the mechanic suit lit up damage notifications rapidly as the Grade B Mechanic suffered another significant damage.


    "Protect the Champion!"


    General Aztog reacted but it was alsote.


    The millions of beasts charging out of the North already surrounded the isted battlefield, forming a thick flesh barrier that they would need to pass through before they could get to Champion Onana and the others.


    As a Grade B Mechanic though, nothing held Champion Onana in ce, preventing him from escaping but before he could, something actually did.


    "HISS¡­!!!" The Guardian Komodo Dragon hissed loudly.


    The next moment, the mechanic suit was caught in its maic field.


    Against humans with such minute traces of metal, the Hyper Maism ability was already extremely dangerous. Against a Mechanic, the Hyper Maism Guardian ability was his greatest enemy.


    Legs'' eyes shed deviously. ''Against a Grade B Super, we stand no chance but countering them with their worst enemy gives us a chance!''


    Despite being a Grade B Mechanic, Champion Onana could not resist as the powerful maic field yanked him to the center of the circle even more.


    This Grade B Mechanic instantly grew dizzy.


    His eyes widened in horror. "T-This¡­?!"


    Champion Onana was drawn to the center of the perfect ambush.


    In essence, Champion Onana was trapped.


    This was when the craziest part of Legs'' mastern hit its climax, and without hesitation, Legs took the lead and pushed it further.


    ~Silver Surfer~


    [WARNING! Cutting-Edge Weapon Detected!]


    [WARNING! ¡­]


    Champion Onana got only a little signal before Legs pulled the trigger.


    -----


    You have activated Special Weapon Ability: Atomic Rage!

    ~Silver Surfer~


    [WARNING! Maic Pull detected!]


    [WARNING! Flight System not powerful enough to counter Maic Force!]


    [WARNING! Losing flight control¡­!]


    Whoosh!


    The once majestic mechanic suit that had caused so much terror to the warriors and forces of Darvis faltered as it spiraled out of control.


    Champion Onana lost control over his own mechanic suit.


    "Silver Surfer, tell me what that beast is!" Champion Onana roared!


    ~Silver Surfer~


    [Affirmative Master!]


    [Searching database for information matching target beast¡­, please wait¡­]


    The formidable processing power of the high-grade mechanic suit was put to work, and in the midst of the chaotic and fast-paced battle, the mech suit finished its search in mere milliseconds as it disyed the results.


    [Target Beast Found!]


    [Specie Name: Komodo Dragon!]


    [Unique Status Detected: Guardian Komodo Dragon!]


    [A Guardian beast guards the territory leading from a sub ne of the Beast ne to a higher ne. After fulfilling the requirements to be a guardian, they unlock a guardian ability rted to their affinity!]


    [This Guardian Komodo Dragon unlocked a Guardian Ability rted to its maism affinity!]


    [WARNING! This Beast is your greatest enemy!]


    ''Who thought up this crazy ambush n?''


    ''Did they know that the Nak Navy has a Grade B Mechanic before?''


    ''Howe they were able to find just the right beast that was able to counter my abilities so directly? It''s just too illogical!''


    ''Who made this n? He is my real enemy!''


    Despite being a Grade B Super, Champion Onana was horrified by what he was seeing. Everything was so perfectly nned to counter him that for the first time in this backwater, he feared for his life.


    It was while he thought that Legs pulled the trigger.


    -----


    You have activated Special Weapon Ability: Atomic Rage!


    ----


    BOOM¡­!!!


    Since the Guardian Komodo Dragon''s Hyper Maism ability was already acting on the Mechanic Suit, Champion Onana could not dodge.


    A concentrated st of positron energy rushed out of the muzzle of the Cutting-Edge Positron Rifle as it sted against the metallic exterior of the mechanic suit. The sound that followed was like that of melting metal.


    Literally all the special effects of the Atomic Rage ability triggered!


    The originally beautiful and aesthetic gray surface of the mechanic suit instantly turned bright red like molten iron as the positron energy roasted it!


    Inside the mechanic suit, Champion Onana was spammed with damage notifications as the integrity of the mechanic suit increased by a crazy margin.


    Champion Onana was angered by what he was experiencing.


    "INSOLENCE!" He roared.


    "You shall all die!!!"


    BOOM!


    His maic Pugilist energy erupted out the next moment like an avnche as he tried to seize back control of his mech suit, but it did nothing.


    The Guardian Komodo Dragon remained standing on the surface of the like an unmovable rock, it''s Hyper Maism firmly trapped the Silver Surfer in ce in the air.


    Champion Onana felt more shocked and frustrated.


    "How is this possible?"


    The reaction from the mechanic showed that Legs'' crazy n was viable. Trapping him sessfully was just one phase of the climax attack, the next phase was totally bombarding this mechanic and defeating him in battle.


    And to do this, they were already on a time limit.


    Compared to Champion Onana, literally all of them had lesser mana points. If the battle became dragged out, there was a higher chance of Onana regaining his momentum and killing them all.


    Besides, General Aztog was still desperately trying to intervene here.


    This was why for the next few seconds that followed, Legs'' n was every single Grade C Superhuman here spamming their strongest abilities as much as possible to overwhelm the defenses of the Mechanic to defeat him.


    "It''s now or never!" Legs led the offensive.

    Instantly after activating all these abilities, the beast ne opened as Legs'' beasts charged out like an army of doom!


    Even as Predator, Bran, and Ak took strategic positions around him, Legs fused with Warp Prime as he instantly became a Blood Vampire.


    He didn''t stop at that, he made use of Warp Prime''s Blood Vampire abilities. He erged the next moment into a gigantic Vampire, that was not all, he casted curse spells on the Mechanic and also took control over his blood.


    Inside his mechanic suit, Champion Onana suddenly felt like he had a blood infection. Due to his superior grade, the effect was not too prominent but in a battle of this intensity, any tiny detail mattered.


    In his erged Blood Vampire form, Legs grabbed the Positron Rifle then at point-nk range, he pulled the trigger.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    Champion Onana received another telling damage to his mechanic suit.


    Legs still didn''t stop at that, he activated one of his new Specialty abilities. Instantly after activating the War Shepherd ability, all his other beasts and theirpanion Spirit beasts seemed to have been injected with chicken blood.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Like usual, Predator led the charge from the front.


    Champion Onana was overwhelmed as Legs horded him.


    Legs was not alone, even as he took the lead, Gorgon was directly behind him. Even as Absolute Zero unleashed extremely powerful attacks at the Mechanic, damaging him, this Summoner also did more.


    ''My centuries of preparations shall not be in vain''.


    ''We must win this war!''


    Gorgon called on his contracted beasts.


    Instantly after the rainbow bridge opened, 4 powerful beasts charged out. A gigantic Frost Snake, a Frost Wolf, a Support Deer, and a massive Mountain Toad.


    "HISS¡­!!!"


    The huge Frost Snake breath cold poison at the Mechanic as it instantly started corroding his powerful mechanic suit''s metal exterior.


    All 4 beasts cooperated with the extremely powerful Absolute Zero as together, they joined in thrashing the incapacitated Grade B Mechanic.


    With these 2 leading the charge, George and de remained close behind.


    "George Specialty: Nature Punch!"


    "de Specialty: Singrity sh!"


    Both Pugilists were like rabid dogs as they attacked with gusto!


    With these 4 leading the fight from the front, the others did not remain idle as maintaining their distance, they also spammed their strongest ranged attacks at the Mechanic, rapidly draining the defense of his Mechanic Suit.


    Champion Onana was dying from shame and anger.


    His eyes were blood-red from fury inside his mechanic suit.


    "Ahhhh¡­!"


    "Arghhh¡­!" He kept on screaming to vent his anger as he remained incapacitated even as they dealt more damage to him.


    He became a punching bag and this left an extremely sour taste in his mouth.


    [WARNING! Shield Generator Energy has been exhausted!]


    [WARNING! Armor Integrity below 50%!]


    This notification literally sent him mad with fury.


    Seconds of sufferingter after he tried to no avail to beat the maic powers of the Guardian Komodo Dragon, his eyes exploded with power and fury.


    p¨£§ád¨£ §«?¦Í¨º1,§ã¨°§® ''If I can''t break from this maic field, I''ll fight either way!''


    "I am not going down without a fight!" He roared!


    The next moment, he gave up struggling and decided to fight to the death. Reorienting his Dark Rifle to his closest enemy who at this moment was Legs in his Blood Vampire form, he pulled the trigger.


    For the umpteenth time today, the skies turned dark!

    "Bring it on!" He mocked.


    "In lifetimes, you still won''t have what it takes to kill me!"


    "...!" Champion Onana''s blood-shot eyes widened even more in shock.


    Of course, these were words of bravado from Legs. One attack from this Grade B Mechanic was able to wipe off almost 40% of his Health Points, this was absolutely a crazy amount of damage but his Supreme Talent offset it.


    Without his Supreme Talent, he stood no chance.


    The Physique of the Primordial Undying Cockroach was one of Legs'' strongest trump cards, it was his best life-preservation tool.


    His Supreme Talent gave him the basis to stay arrogant.


    And of course, he didn''t taunt the Nak Champion for no reason, his battlerades also understood his motive.


    Over the past 5 years, after countless spars among themselves, they already recognized that despite being a Summoner, against all odds and conventions, Legs was the undisputed tank among all the Grade C Superhumans.


    His Health Points and Endurance in battle was off the charts.


    This was why none of the others were troubled by his actions.


    Also, they understood his belief in winning battles through psychological warfare. Taunting Champion Onana went more than just the physical battle.


    Despite their little interaction, Legs already had an idea about the personality of this Grade B Mechanic.


    He believed that taunting tactics would work to throw him off his game. And it seemed to work like he predicted as Champion Onana shook in anger.


    "Y-You...!" The Grade B Mechanic stammered angrily.


    "I''LL KILL YOU!"


    He brought out all 3 of his Rifles and unleashed disaster on the Summoner.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Legs went through hell and back, the pain was ripping his brain out of his body but outwardly, he kept a taunting smirk on his face.


    "Too weak".


    "You''re too weak to kill me!"


    "Hehe..., a Mechanic of your level has no basis to kill me!"


    "You are just too weak!"


    "YOU...!!!" Champion Onana was going crazy by the second.


    His anger became a fuel that boosted him into a crazy state, his Mechanic energy became thicker and more potent as his resonance with his Mechanic suit increased to an unprecedented state that he had never achieved before.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: True Resonance!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Blood for Power!"


    Desperate already, Champion Onana pushed himself and his mechanic suit to their very limits as the Silver Surfer lit up danger notifications.


    Apart from pushing the Silver Surfer past it''s safety parameters, Champion Onana also spilled a bit of his blood to amplify the power of all 3 of his Rifles as they hummed with power before unleashing crazy shots the next moment.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    -----


    [WARNING! 90% of your Health Points have been wiped out in one attack!]


    ...


    [Supreme Talent Triggered: Physique of the Primordial Undying Cockroach!]


    [You have triggered elerated Cell Regeneration!]


    [Your Vitality is being actively turned to Health Points!]


    [Your Health Points have been recovered to 89%!]


    ----


    Actively triggering his Supreme Talent like this came with it''s prize, his mana points was sapped like a running tap with no regtion.


    At this point, just one activation drained all his mana points.


    The only reason why he remained striving was due to a certain trump card of his that he had been keeping for exact scenarios like this.


    ''Aaron, I need your mana more than ever now''.


    ''Affirmative, your Excellency the Hermit!''


    Aaron was also hard at work.


    After every activation of the Supreme Talent and as his mana bottomed out, it was filled again as mana flooded his body from an unknown dimension.


    Champion Onana didn''t understand how it happened, but it frustrated him to no end. The fact that it was a Grade C Superhuman that was doing this to him rocked his mental boat even more, this Nak Champion felt like dying in shame.


    "NO...!"


    "YOU MUST DIE!"


    "I MUST KILL YOU!" Champion Onana was already losing it.


    Lost in his anger already, he no longer paid attention to the damage notifications from his mechanic suit''s interface neither did he pay attention to his other enemies as they got better chances to damage his mech suit faster.


    None of them dared to hold back, if General Aztog and his battleships managed to break the blockade of flesh to get here, things would go south quickly.


    This was why all the Grade C Superhumans gave their all.


    With the Grade B Mechanic incapacitated, and Legs tanking all his attacks, the others got the leisure that they wanted to spam attacks.


    The only problem with this strategy was that spamming their strongest attacks sucked their mana with a crazy efficiency. Since none of them had such trump cards like Legs, some of them already used up their mana.


    This was despite the fact that since the crazy ambush started to defeat the Grade B Mechanic, it was not yet up to 2 minutes.


    Amid their determination to win, something optimistic finally happened.


    ~Silver Surfer~


    [WARNING! Armor Integrity has reduced to 0%!]


    Instantly, the Silver Surfer fell apart as Champion Onana became rmed. But alert due to his swift instincts, the Nak Champion reacted.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Mech Recycling!"


    At thest moment, the broken parts of the Silver Surfer survived as under Champion Onana''s maniption, they came back together to form a whole.


    None of the Grade C Superhumans despaired on this sight though, this was because Legs already warned them about this ahead of time.


    Seeing it now, they only felt ecstatic because they already forced the enemy to use one of his strongest trump cards, they felt even more driven and motivated.


    They attacked with even more gusto.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    About 5 secondster, Gorgon suddenly controlled Absolute Zero as the gigantic Frost Dragon turned around and started flying back deep into the North.


    "My mana is almost exhausted".


    He made known his predicament.


    Despite Legs already including this variable in his nning, most of them felt nervous on hearing this but Legs remained calm as he ordered.


    "Christensen, it''s your turn!"


    As Absolute Zero left, Christensen took his ce.


    The gleam in this Summoner''s eyes changed as he focused.


    At this moment, hovering alongside him in the air were all 4 of his beasts. Leo and Frigga hovered directly behind him, while with a cold poker look, Brutus hovered before him from the front as hisst contracted beast flew around.


    Neo was a support beast.


    After 5 years, Christensen also already became a changed warrior.


    His eyes gleamed. "Special Summoner Ability: Beast Combatant!"


    "Special Summoner Ability: Beast Warlord!"


    "Special Summoner Ability: Warlord Integration!"


    Instantly, Christensen executed a different beast integration. He didn''t just fuse with one of his beasts, he fused with 3 of his 4 beasts.


    As for Neo, the Butterfly was left hovering around him as a yellow power emanated from him, amplifying Christensen''s abilities and power.


    Christensen became a horrifying monstrosity bloated with power.


    His head became that of a Wolf, Leo. His ws and body became modelled after Frigga, the Snow Fenrir while all his senses gained Brutus'' properties.


    This tripartite fusion brought the best of him as a Beast Combatant Summoner. After 5 years of growth, this was Christensen''s ultimate form.


    He grinned as he red at the Grade B Mechanic.


    "All aliens shall die at my hand".


    "WITNESS MY ULTIMATE FORM!"


    He exploded forward with power.


    BOOM...!!!

 Chapter 411 Climax; Fighting Against A Grade B Mechanic! [4]

    "Christensen Beast Combo: Martial Art of the Beast Combatant!"


    "Leo-Chris Beast Combo: Barrage of Death!"


    "Frigga-Chris Beast Combo: Beast Imprint!"


    "Brutus-Chris Beast Combo: Assassin Instinct- Bestial Senses!"


    "Neo-Chris Beast Combo: Ultimate Amplification!"


    BZZZ!


    Power flooded Christensen''s transformed body after activating all these activities, and the next moment all his attention were focused on his target.


    Like most of the Grade C Superhumans present, Christensen improved a lot during the past 5 years. His greatest achievement during this time was fulfilling his potential as a Beast Combatant Summoner and creating his ownbo attack.


    Years ago, Legs recognized his talent and pushed him into the Beast Combatant Summoner route. Yearster, Christensen was grateful to his master.


    At this moment, though he did not have the luxury to see if his master was watching him, he still felt like this was the perfect stage to show his growth over the past 5 years to his master.


    He felt that this was the perfect stage to show his master that choosing him as his first student years ago was no mistake.


    ''Master¡­, my super way is you''.


    ''My super way is to catch up to you and exceed you''.


    ''Since I''m not as talented, I will put in more work''.


    ''If you train 8 hours every day, I''ll put in more effort and train 16 hours every day''.


    ''If you hone your fighting skills 3 hours every day, I''ll hone mine 6 hours every day''.


    ''If you read to learn knowledges 2 hours every day¡­, I''ll ovee my fear of books and read 4 hours every day''.


    ''That¡­, is my super way!''


    He grinned. ''Hehe¡­, I never forgot''.


    His incrediblebination with Leo granted him incredible close-range attacking prowess and was why he named thebination Barrage of Death.


    As for hisbination with Frigga, apart from granting him the incredible battle experience of this old mythical Wolf, it also left an imprint in him that increased his battle power and battle instincts to a ridiculous extent.


    Hisbination with Brutus mostly increased his already sensitive senses. Gaining Brutus'' detective abilities and sense of smell turned him into a freak detective.


    At this moment, the legendary Sherlock Holmes was nothing before him.


    Christensen''s eyes glowed with power as he scrutinized his opponent''s mechanic suit. Through hisbination with Brutus, it took him no time to detect the parts of the mechanic suit that were far more vulnerable.


    If he targeted this part, tearing it apart would be much easier.


    He dared not hesitate to give the enemy time.


    His eyes glowed with power.


    "Specialty Ability: Combo- Christensen Barrage!"


    Christensen seemed to be a Combat God!


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Every hit met it''s mark with venom, every attack from him had an intention behind it, every gesture brought the mechanic suit closer to its doom.


    And with Brutus'' help, he had a clear picture of all the allies aiding him in this battle as he fought in a way thatplimented all their attacks, temporarily increasing their attack power to an unprecedented level.


    Having sparred with de countless times, their synergy was off the charts. Even with the crazy pace of this battle, he was able to give de space to interfere.


    Charging into close range, de attacked with his Lightsaber again.


    "de Specialty: Singrity sh!"


    BOOM¡­!!!


    CRACK!


    Christensen did the impossible, his genius was fully showcased at this moment as in just 2 seconds since he reced Gorgon, his incredible abilities made it possible for the Silver Surfer to turn into scrap metal again.


    ~Silver Surfer~


    [WARNING! System losing all power¡­]


    [Shutting down¡­]


    The Mechanic suit lost all power the next moment as all its lights switched off; it became a piece of junk in the air the next moment.


    Champion Onana''s real body finally became exposed.


    A Mechanic''s mech suit represented about 70% of his overall power. When they were stripped of their mechanic suit, theoretically, they were only left with less than 30% of theirbat power.


    This was Champion Onana''s current state.


    ''Finally!'' Legs'' eyes glowed with relief.


    "Finish him!" He roared.


    All the Grade C Superhumans jumped in with gusto.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Champion Onana was exposed and vulnerable, he was battered.


    ¡­


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    "HISS¡­!!!"


    "SCREECH!"


    The sounds of millions of different beasts filled the skies, forming a crazy cacophony of distracting noise as the Nak Navy shed against them.


    From the moment that Champion Onana became incapacitated, General Aztog dared not continue the Cataclysm, he diverted all the Battleships towards aiding the Champion and rescuing him from the ws of the enemies.


    Despite how much they tried though, they were firmly held back.


    This was because of the millions of beasts that were summoned.


    Even after Gorgon''s mana was exhausted and he took Absolute Zero back to deep in the North, the chaotic beasts did not leave the battlefield immediately as they remained swarming the Battleships that shot at them.


    General Aztog was desperate. ''What is this?''


    ''How can this be happening?''


    ''This was never in our ns and predictions''.


    He gritted his teeth. ''They won the battle of wits''.


    This moment reminded him about 5 years ago when something simr happened. He remembered when after centuries of nning with Alexander, everything was sabotaged just because of a 16-year-old boy.


    Now, this boy was 21.


    "SEXY CHOCOLATE!" He roared in defeat and frustration.


    ¡­


    -----


    You have activated Special Weapon Ability: Particle Beam Bombardment!


    ----


    BAM!


    After thisst bombardment, Champion Onana became weak all over as he could no longer lift a finger, he was mmed to the surface of Darvis.


    nted on the ground, he was left in a pool of his own blood.


    This Grade B Champion was injured all over.


    With zed eyes, he looked at the skies as his opponents descended. He looked beyond them at the millions of beasts that filled the skies and the ground, then he looked at the explosive sounds as the Nak Battleships struggled.


    Amid coughing blood, he chuckled.


    "What an irony¡­, I lost".


    Thud!


    Legs finallynded on the surface as he stood before the Grade B Mechanic while pointing his Rifle straight at his head.


    His fiery eyes red into his eyes.


    "Surrender!" Legs'' voice boomed.

 Chapter 412 Mission Impossible; Accomplished!

    They achieved the impossible!


    All the Grade C Superhumans present experienced different emotions ranging from ecstasy to disbelief, to shock, then to awe.


    For the 2nd time in 6 years, they felt that they were witnessing history.


    All of them looked at the Grade B Mechanic who nowid on the ground in a pool of his own blood, they felt like they were dreaming. It was just too good to be true, they dared not believe it.


    Then they looked at the hero of this war.


    ''Legs''. The same thoughts went through their head.


    Instantly, all of them had a recollection of Legs'' words.


    A few hours ago¡­


    As soon as Champion Onana made his debut on the battlefield, instantly turning the direction of the war on its head, President Shanks called a meeting and like expected, Legs was at the head of the meeting.


    Looking at all the warriors present; he narrated his n.


    "My n is an extremely unconventional one¡­" He paused. "For it to seed, we all need to put ourplete trust on each other".


    "Despite how incredulous it may seem, have full trust in me. Also, you need to have full trust among yourselves".


    "Believe that everyone can fulfill his role perfectly, this is the only way that the n can work. Any glitch and we''ll fail, and you know failure mean defeat".


    "This is the cataclysm; defeat is not an option for us".


    "Here is the n¡­"


    He exined the concept of the sub nes and higher nes of the Beast ne, including the Guardian Beasts and the Guardian Komodo Dragon.


    "The Guardian Komodo Dragon will be the cornerstone of our n".


    "In singlebat, none of us here have what it takes to fight a Guardian Beast and emerge victorious. Even together, our chances of emerging victorious in a fair battle is too low and is we need an unconventional n".


    "I''ll call this phase of the n the Oscars Performance Operation".


    "All of you will give your all into fighting the Guardian Komodo Dragon following the detailed operation n that I''ll present to you. If you fulfill all your roles perfectly, you''ll be able to push the Guardian Komodo Dragon to its limits".


    "This will force it to utilize its sole Guardian Ability".


    "When it is forced to do this, the n is close topletion".


    "As soon as it uses it''s Guardian Ability, none of you will be able to resist, you will all be affected by the ability, including me who will remain in hiding during all this time, this is when the exciting part begins".


    "All of you will allow me to beat the crap out of you on emergence".


    "¡­"


    Silence followed after Legs indicated this part of the n.


    "All of you will lower your guards while trying your best to keep the Komodo Dragon ignorant, ying out a scenario that will make me seem like a Combat God so powerful that I can kill all of you with 1 blow each".


    "I have an ability that willplement this part of the n".


    "In essence, the end goal is to make me seemrger than life".


    "This is the most important part of the Oscars Performance Operation".


    "If executed perfectly, I will be able to dominate the Guardian Komodo Dragon psychologically which will make the next part of my n easier".


    "I''ll tame the Guardian Komodo Dragon".


    "After the first phase of the n is Operation Scaling Everest".


    "After taming the Guardian Komodo Dragon, by this time, de would have fulfilled his part of the n in keeping the enemy Champion isted".


    "This is when we will swoop in with the Guardian Komodo Dragon".


    "We will fight the Grade B Mechanic and considering his incredulous power, I equate it to the difficulty of climbing the Everest barehanded".


    He didn''t bother exining what his reference meant to them.


    "I improvised this n on the spot having known about the Guardian Komodo Dragon ahead of time. Its Guardian Ability is powerful, but it is at least 20 times more powerful when used against a Mechanic".


    "Metals which is their greatest strength bes their greatest bane when pitched against the incredible power of Hyper Maism".


    "The Guardian Komodo Dragon will keep the enemy Champion trapped, then our part of the n is to defeat him with our strongest abilities".


    "This phase of the n is the most delicate and dangerous".


    "I have a detailed step to step procedure for it. It will start by Gorgon taking control of Absolute Zero and cutting off all rescue points to the enemy Champion through the millions of monsters in the Northern Continent".


    "After that, we have a time limit of less than 3 minutes to defeat the enemy Champion. Any longer than that andplications may enter".


    "I didn''t say kill, I said defeat for a reason".


    "After defeating himes thest phase of the n, Operation Testing Limits. We will have to test the conviction of the Nak General to see how important this enemy Champion is to them".


    "After defeating him, we will threaten to kill him while telling them to surrender, this is the greatest gamble".


    "If he is important enough, they''ll surrender and we survive".


    "But if he is not important enough¡­" He let their imagination simte the consequences on their minds.


    Fast-forward back to the present, they were all awed as Legs'' n after much determination and effort yed out exactly as he nned.


    "Mission Impossible¡­ Aplished!" President Shanks muttered in awe.


    ''Legs¡­, is a true genius!'' They all acknowledged this genius again.


    Still in his Blood Vampire form, Legs stood beside the enemy Grade B Mechanic whoid in a pool of his own blood as he pointed his Positron Rifle at him. The muzzle of the Rifle glowed white as it gathered power.


    He looked Onana straight in the eyes.


    "Surrender!" His voice boomed.


    Champion Onana looked Legs in the eyes as different emotions went through his eyes. He felt sadness, he felt a huge sense of defeat, he felt disappointed in himself, and above all, he felt relief.


    ''At least, I didn''t lose to Delzebub again''.


    Despite the bitter taste of defeat in his mouth, he was still able to maneuver around it to find positivity, showing his mentality.


    ''Should I use Master''s gifts?''


    ''No, I already lost, this kid beat me fair and square''.


    ''Besides, I feel ashamed to use master''s gifts against a Super of a lower grade than me, master will literally just disown me''.


    He sighed. ''Perhaps, learning from him is my key to defeat Delzebub''.


    ''Afterall, like master says, learning never ends, it does not discriminate between ss, influence, or any of thoseplicated shenanigans''.


    His eyes shone in understanding as a slight smirk of resignation briefly appeared on his face. ''Master, is this why you sent me here?''


    ''Did you send me here to teach me a lesson?''


    "Surrender!" Legs'' voice boomed loudly again as he pointed the Positron Rifle closer to the head of this Grade B Mechanic.


    Outwardly, he put on a heroic and extremely confident look on his face, while inside his mind, he was praying. ''Please surrender!''


    ''I am out of cards to y''.


    ''If you do something else, I don''t think I can cope, please surrender''.


    Champion Onana suddenly smiled. "I admire you, Legs".


    "I don''t know how you did it, but I respect you as a warrior".


    "You defeated me fair and square".


    "I admit defeat". This part came out of his lips a little harder.


    He suddenly looked to the skies at the struggling Nak Battleships, then hemanded. "Stand down!"


    "Surrender".


    "The Cataclysm¡­, is over".

 Chapter 413 Nak Admirals

    The Minerva Star System, Kronic Beam Ring¡­


    This core Metal of the Nak State was busy with different activities like usual as mechanics of different grades worked diligently on the, giving their best to enriching and empowering the already powerful Nak State.


    Most of the workers were ves from other lesser races.


    At this moment, inside one of the biggest Mechanic tower workshops in the, a huge Nak warrior sat as he looked at a virtual screen.


    "Onana was defeated so early?"


    His eyes squinted in curiosity as he looked at the moving virtual projection of a certain individual. "This kid¡­, is he really one of those once in a lifetime genius, even I am shocked".


    A few years ago, while he sent one of his personal students to the backwater, he originally intended it with a special motive in mind.


    He mostly only did it because of the looming danger in the dark.


    Despite being the 2nd hegemon of the Minerva Star System, he never believed one inch that they were safe from the ongoing dangers rising from the dark. This was why the Nak State followed the trend of their rivals.


    In preparations for the future, they increased their need to secure valuable resources that could help them through any future prolonged war.


    This was why even someone of his stature pitched in on this endeavor.


    Due to theck of results, he imposed his authority and ced himself in charge of the Nak fleet that left to the Roronoa Star System.


    Despite his desire to secure more resources for the Nak State though, he never paid too much attention to the fleet in the Roronoa Star System.


    Afterall, it was a backwater and decayed Star System, he had more important tasks to pay attention to.


    The only reason that made him pay more attention was his student who he sent there to not just help the Nak fleet but to also gain hands-on battle experience, he never expected Onana to gain much more.


    He never expected a Metal to survive in the Roronoa Star System.


    He also never expected such a tenacious Space Bug race who survived the rigors of such a radioactive pulse, and their leader, the Space Bug who already grew so big to the level of a cosmic horror already.


    When Onana was forced to use his gifts to safeguard his life and that of his fleet, he didn''t be angry, instead he smiled.


    ''He decided to save his fleet this time¡­, he''s changing''.


    Warriors change through battle, and he could already see Onana''s ongoing evolution. His defeat to Legs now changed his student even more.


    It was while he thought that a cat-like existence shimmered to life before him, this was his Support A.I, Pakku.


    He turned to look at the cat. "What is it Pakku?"


    "Admiral, the other Admirals are here".


    Admiral Zhao straightened up immediately. "Send them in".


    A few minutester, 3 warriors with extremely powerful auras entered his tower workshop. One of them was a woman dressed on all-white with a constant smiling expression on her face, she clearly had a frost affinity.


    "Admiral Ling".


    The female Admiral directed a pretty smile at him.


    The 2nd among them was a hefty man like a Bear who didn''t even deem it fit to wear a top. His extremely hairy chest was so muscr that it seemed like 2 huge boulders, his face looked ferocious and heughed on seeing him.


    "Zhao, my man, hahaha¡­!" His voice was loud.


    Admiral Zhao looked at him and smiled. "Admiral Kong".


    Thest of them was a lean man who seemed more fitted for the church. With his long silver robes, and the prominent cross chain hanging on his neck, he seemed like he belonged in the church rather than in a metal like this.


    At this moment, both his eyes were pure white like he was not in this reality.


    "Admiral Zhao". He greeted respectfully.


    "Admiral Cheng". Admiral Zhao greeted with the same energy.


    Seeing the white look on thest Admiral''s eyes, Zhao already made a guess, his face turned grave. "You already detected one of their higher-ups?"


    "Yes". The powerful Psychic replied.


    "I detected her faint Psychic signatures a few days ago and immediately followed up on it. She tried hard to mask them but was not very sessful, I have managed to trace her location".


    "If I am not wrong, she is in Nak Space".


    Admiral Zhao scowled. "The audacity!"


    "Did you deduce her race?"


    The Psychic shook his head. "All the higher-ups of the Beast Coalition are from different Beast races, she masked this well, I was not able to deduce it".


    "Ok, I aming".


    Admiral Zhao turned to walk deeper into his workshop. Making use of a special ability, his special boots glowed a special silvery blue color as he engaged in mini teleportation around the mechanic workshop.


    In no time, he packed a battalion worth of mechanic warriors inside a metal box, his dimensional war box as he soon returned to meet them.


    "I''m ready, let''s go".


    "Ok".


    All 4 Admirals levitated up as they boarded one of the swiftest state of the art Frigates of the Nak Navy. Just before the Frigate entered warp travel, Admiral Zhao directed onest nce at his base.


    He thought of his student.


    ''Like you, I am going on a dangerous mission''.


    ''If I survive, I hope to discover that you''ve done the impossible''.


    ''Surprise me and defeat the Space Bug and you''ll break your mental barrier''.


    BZZZ!


    The Frigate finally jumped into warp travel and disappeared.


    ¡­


    "Stand down!"


    "Surrender!"


    "The Cataclysm¡­, is over".


    Champion Onana''s orders left a bitter taste in General Aztog''s mouth. After centuries of preparations for it, and after finally getting so close to it, losing by such a tiny margin left this General feeling like he swallowed a fly.


    Despite his unwillingness, in the end, he had no choice, the authority of a Nak Champion far override his own authority as a General.


    The Roman Rider was the first to respond to the Champion''s orders.


    The Frigate lowered all it''s weapon armaments and simply levitated in the skies. Seeing this, General Aztog finally ordered his fleet.


    In no time, the extremely powerful Nak Fleet became inactive as they simply hovered in the skies, the only problem now was the beasts.


    After sending Absolute Zero back to the extreme North, Gorgon could not do the same about the millions of powerful beasts that he summoned from the North, leaving a horde of extremely dangerous beasts behind.


    Despite their danger though, none of the Grade C Superhumans looked stressed about it, this was because Legs already simted this scenario ahead of time. At times, they felt that Legs seemed like a god.


    While de and George went closer to restrain the Grade B Mechanic, Legs called the other Summoners in his camp together.


    Legs, Christensen, Gorgon, and President Shanks were soon standing together as they activated an ability at the same time.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Wide-Scale Beast Taming


    You have activated active ability: Beast Pacify


    ----


    "Gorgon Specialty: Genjutsu Eyes!"


    "Gorgon Specialty: Illusory Beast Taming!"


    With Legs, Christensen, and President Shanks acting as the support, Gorgon''s eyes became a swirling abyss again as his illusory beast taming specialty took effect. Instantly, all the rabid beasts became calmer.


    "Move". Gorgon''s voice echoed in the air calmly.


    "Go home". His voice echoed like the calm of falling dew in the morning.


    They were instantly pacified.


    The next moment, millions ofnd and air beasts returned to deep in the North outside the human shelters where they came from.


    As soon as Legs'' interface lit up, he finally smiled.


    "The Cataclysm¡­, is really over".

    ----


    ''It''s still prelude to the Cataclysm?'' Legs frowned.


    After his first major contact with the Nak Navy years ago, Legs triggered this Grade A Mission. On seeing prelude to the Cataclysm before the main mission name, he was a bit confused but he overlooked it.


    In his opinion, it was just a change in naming sense from the game interface but now, he could not have been more shocked.


    After the mental maneuvering that he just engaged in to outsmart a Grade B Mechanic, he felt extremely exhausted mentally but yet, now he didn''t feel in the mood to sleep as he felt that something else wasing.


    ''If this is the prelude, does that mean we are yet to experience the cataclysm?'' He was experiencing an uneasy feeling.


    It took Legs a great amount of effort to temporarily shelve this uneasy feeling to the back of his mind. He finally focused on his rewards frompleting this mission, he was satisfied.


    Apart from the experience points that he gained, he was happy with gaining more Character Summon Cards, they were hisst desperate trump card.


    When he ordered the Nak Champion to surrender, though he prayed in his mind to surrender, he was not actually out of options yet.


    Hisst gasp n was to resort to his Character Summon Cards.


    They may not be too powerful considering the targets that he drew them from, but what mattered was that every single one of them had their unique importance and most importantly, it didn''t need his mana to activate.


    These unique points made Character Summon Cards a unique trump card that even when his mana ess was cut off, he could still make use of them.


    The victory over the Nak Navy affected more than the warriors, when the news that they won the war spread, joy and ecstasy spread across Darvis.


    A lot of warriors died in the war like expected, but to all the survivors, what mattered was that the sacrifice of the dead were not in vain.


    What mattered was that they survived.


    What mattered was that they didn''t be ves.


    What mattered was that their future descendants did not suffer the fate of being born into very and suffering, this mattered to them than any other thing.


    While the Grade C Superhumans took the enemy Battleships while imprisoning their warriors, the underground shelters housing the millions of civilians finally opened as they celebrated wildly.


    An aging woman had tears rolling down her eyes as she hugged her children and grandchildren. "We survived¡­" She kept on muttering.


    "Thank you, President Shanks".


    "Thank you, Army Commander Legs". She was extremely emotional.


    As the war raged on for hours and as Darvis was set in mes, all of them feared for their life and their future. They didn''t know what was happening outside but they could feel the death and the tension of looming defeat.


    Legs singlehandedly snatched them all from the jaws of defeat.


    For that, this olddy was extremely grateful as she cried.


    All across Darvis, even as fast-response teams flooded the streets to quench the fire and other things that were destroyed, different civilian families came back to the surface as they responded to victory in different ways.


    Some copsed on the ground and cried tears of joy.


    Others hugged and celebrated with their families.


    Others simply screamed in joy to vent their frustrations from the pent-up pressure and emotions that had built up in them for the past few hours.


    Some simply knelt and worshipped the Army Commander of the Nightmare Army, he was the main reason why they were all still alive and living as free men.


    While there were those who celebrated, others also felt the sorrow and cruelty of war, those who lost loved ones and family to the war.


    Even as tears of joy sounded, tears of joy also echoed.


    Despite itsting only a few hours, tens of thousands of Superhumans died defending Darvis, their families mourned them even as they felt proud about the brave sacrifice of their loved ones.


    These emotions didn''t just happen among them, it also extended to the yers who yed a big role in the just concluded battle.


    While most of the attention was focused on the war between the Battleships and the Grade C Superhumans, a lot also happened at the lower levels.


    The yers yed a major role in fighting the field troops of the Nak Navy. Especially Raining Sword, he yed a major role in sabotaging the base of the Nak Navy that was in Darvis after Captain Lee left.


    All of them contributed massively to the victory and they received their due rewards from their game interface.

    [You are yet to meet requirements to learn Advanced Summoner Knowledge!]


    ----


    Instantly after the end of the cataclysm, as different emotions swept through the amid the recovery process by the authorities, inside his office, Legs sat cross-legged as he made use of his game interface.


    The war was over and yet again, he benefited massively from it.


    Having amassed a sizeable amount of experience points already, the first thing that he did was spend them all on leveling further.


    After bing a Grade C Summoner, the percentage increase for each level up prize finally started decreasing a bit, giving him some much needed relief.


    If the prize kept doubling with each upgrade, leveling up would be so hard that there would literally be no high-grade Super among the yers.


    Despite the percentage reduction though, the prize for each level up was still steep and he felt the pinch each time he leveled up.


    After taking care of his leveling up problems, he finally focused on the new Advanced Summoner ss Knowledge that he got from the main storyline mission.


    After contributing massively to end the cataclysm prematurely, among the other rewards, he also got a new Advanced Summoner ss knowledge, increasing his stash to an incredible collection of 3.


    Originally, there were only 2 Advanced Summoner Knowledge in Darvis. After the past 5 years of growth, every Grade C Superhuman already got them but yet, they were all only able to learn one of them, including Legs.


    This was because of the steep requirements to learn the Cosmic Summoner ss knowledge.


    Unlike the Grandmaster Beast Tamer knowledge whose main focus was on beast taming, the Cosmic Summoner enabled a Summoner to integrate more with the universe outside and it''s incredible ecosystem of myriad beasts.


    With the Cosmic Summoner knowledge, a Summoner bes universal, able tomunicate with any species of beast that they meet.


    The requirements to learn it though were steep. It required a Summoner to singlehandedly hunt down any Cosmic Beast that can freely cruise and travel through space, killing it was the requirement.


    Considering that every Cosmic Beast was a powerhouse, this mission was so difficult that it was mostly only Grade B Summoners who could learn it.


    This was why it simply rotted in Legs'' inventory for years.


    Despite the frustration that such a situation brought though, Legs did not pay attention to it because of the new Advanced knowledge that he just learned.


    ''Giving my all to fighting the cataclysm was all worth it in the end''. He smiled. ''But for now, I need to get to the truth behind this mystery''.


    The hints from his game interface still bothered him.


    Champion Onana''s appearance already made the storyline deviate from the one of his previous life. He thought that was all, but after defeating the Nak Navy, the ominous hints from his game interface told him that there was more.


    He was desperate to find out the truth.


    Afterall, the unknown was always the most dangerous.


    He no longer wasted time, standing up to leave, he met Predator casually licking his paws as hezed around inside his office.


    "Buddy, let''s go meet our war prisoner".


    "Roar!" Predator was instantly enthusiastic.


    As the single most powerful opponent that the Nightmare Beast have ever met, Predator was inherently curious to know more about the prisoner. And not just that, if possible, he wanted to fight with him again.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Summoner Energy Maniption


    You have triggered Teleportation!


    ----


    Bzzz!


    Legs and his beast disappeared.


    When they reappeared, they levitated above the Blue Sea as Legs'' summoner energy that sted out kept them afloat.


    Champion Onana''s prison was personally made by E and John on President Shank''s request, and it was made deep inside the Blue Sea.


    Made using some of the sturdiest wood avable in Darvis, the Grade B Mechanic was trapped in the sea, far away from any usable metal that he could use to start an escape and all his allies.


    The prison was heavily guarded by a squadron of powerful Grade D Superhumans and a supervisor guard who was a Grade C Superhuman.


    Enoch volunteered to guard this extremely powerful prisoner.


    Thud!


    Instantly after Legs descended into the sea and arrived at the wooden prison below the sea, the guards recognized him as they greeted.


    "Army Commander Legs".


    "Army Commander Legs". A confident voice reverberated, distinguishing itself from the others as Legs looked at this old man.


    "Old Man Enoch". He smiled. "How''s our prisoner?"


    "He''s stable, he''s not stirred up any trouble since being imprisoned".


    "Our only problem is his penchant of demanding to see you violently every now and then. At some point, I even thought he was nning an escape attempt".


    "He''s not trying to escape?" Legs raised his brows.


    "No, I think he simply wants to meet you".


    Despite being baffled at the desires of his war prisoner, Legs gave it no more attention since this was only his 2nd time meeting him.


    He knew nothing about the personality of the Mechanic.


    "Lead the way". Legs followed the old Elementalist.


    A few minutester, they arrived at the middlepartment of this hidden prison where its only inhabitant was held.


    The prisoner sat on the ground with his back facing the door at the far corner of his cage where the light was dim.


    "I''ve been waiting for you". He said as soon as they arrived.


    "Have you met the Bugs?"


    "¡­"


    Legs and Enoch kept quiet with question marks all over their faces as they looked at the back of this war prisoner, then he chuckled and finally turned to face them. Legs'' heart briefly skipped a beat at the sight.


    Despite fighting this warrior and defeating him already, the aura of a Grade B Super was unmistakable. Also, Onana''s appearance was a little frightening.


    As a cyborg, he looked nothing like a regr Nak warrior.


    Onana remained sitting cross-legged as he faced the humans.


    "I have a story for you". He smiled.


    He didn''t let Legs speak before he continued. "Once upon a time, there was an ambitious and motivated Super. Struggling to fight and change his miserable fate, he made improving his strength his only source of satisfaction".


    "His whole life, he lived to improve and prove some people wrong".


    "Due to his ideologies, he was rarely satisfied and hence, his master sent him on a mission. On arriving at an unknown region, unmotivated to help hisrades, he left alone on an exploration mission deep into space".


    "There, he discovered an extremely valuable resource¡­" He paused for emphasis. "A metal".


    "Excited, he dived in to reap all the rewards but he was hindered by alien monsters, a special Bug specie with some terrible attributes".


    "To take the metal all for himself, he settled close to it and studied it''s natives for years, preparing for the raid to kill them all and take the".


    "After 5 years, he was finally confident and hemenced his n".


    "Unfortunately, he awakened a cosmic horror in the process".


    "The cosmic horror caused him terrible losses, injuring him and leaving him close to death in the process as he escaped with his tail tucked beneath his legs".


    "The end".


    "¡­"


    Seeing their reactions, he smirked. "I never said my story had a good ending, the sequel is even more tragic, I won''t tell it".


    Champion Onana looked straight at Legs. "I have a question for you, who and what do you think my story illustrated?"


    The smirk on the cyborg''s face irked Legs.


    ''Why should I answer him? He''s the prisoner here''.


    Enoch scratched his head. "Is this target Darvis? And¡­, are you the protagonist of your story?"


    Legs turned to look at Enoch but this was when he paused¡­, this was because his game interface shimmered to life again with a new notification.


    -----


    [You have triggered the Main Storyline Grade A Mission: The Cataclysm; Rise of the Bug Emperor!]


    [Mission Details: ¡­]


    ----


    Legs was interrupted by the prisoner.


    "I''ll answer". Onana smiled. "I am the protagonist of the story, but the is not Darvis, it is Titania".


    "As for the viin, it''s the real cataclysm to us all".


    The Mechanic''s eyes gleamed. "The Space Bug ising for us all!"


    "¡­" Legs froze in shock. ''The f*ck!''

 Chapter 416 The Real Cataclysm

    -----


    [You have triggered the Main Storyline Grade A Mission: The Cataclysm; Rise of the Bug Emperor!]


    [Mission Details:]


    [The horrors of the old age of Space Travel in the Roronoa Star System have been awakened!]


    [The scars of the past have been reopened!]

    [They are the only survivors of the Roronoa Star System, everyone else including the inhabitants of Darvis are outsiders who invaded this Star System after its death due to the radioactive pulse.]


    [After the awakening of their leader, an encounter with outsiders birthed the ambition hidden at the depths of the heart of the Alpha Space Bug!]


    [He wants to crown himself as the Bug Emperor!]


    [He wants to be the ruler of a new Roronoa Star System!]


    [Beware! He ising!]


    ****


    [Main Mission: Contribute massively and kill the Bug Conqueror!]


    [Mission Rewards: ???]


    ¡­


    [Remark: Once a ve, now an Emperor!]


    ----


    ''Holy Sh*t!'' Legs was pissing his pants.


    ''The Space Bug ising for us all!''


    Hearing this from Champion Onana already pulled at his heartstrings already, the only reason that kept hisposure was his refusal topletely believe the words of a desperate prisoner.


    It was after looking at his game interface notification that he was leftpletely shocked.


    ''Are you for real?!''


    All his life including his previous life, Legs had only ever seen a mission detail introduction turn into a horror poem in this fashion once.


    It was during Version 4, the Psychic Revolution that swept across the whole universe that the game interface felt inclined to use such a tone of doom.


    Feeling this simr tone again, Legs felt his heart skip a beat.


    ''You gotta be kidding me man!''


    Legs'' reaction did not escape the keen senses of both Supers that stood before him. While Enoch was shocked, Champion Onana felt more of confusion.


    ''Did his prophetic abilities trigger again?!'' Enoch was freaking out.


    ''Is this powerful prisoner saying the truth?''


    ''Is another cataclysm reallying just after the first?!''


    Enoch''s emotions immediately becameplicated. It wasn''t yet confirmed but Legs'' reaction told a lot, he was already feeling scammed.


    As for champion Onana, he felt something else. ''What the f*ck! Is this guy for real?''


    ''He believed so easily?''


    ''The legendary Sexy Chocte is so easy to convince?''


    ''And I already prepared 50 other approaches to this that I intended to use to convince him about the truth, I never thought he''ll believe so easily''.


    ''Besides, is this rted to the ability that he''s rumored to have''.


    ''Did me telling him trigger his prophetic abilities?''


    This Mechanic''s intelligent eyes flickered as a myriad thoughts went through his head. ''Perhaps, I can have him prophesy about the oue of my next battle to the death against Delzebub''.


    Legs finally spoke. "Ahem¡­" He cleared his throat. "What you said, is it really true? If so, please tell me more".


    "With pleasure". Champion Onana did not hesitate.


    When the long tale finally came to an end, the eyes of both Grade C Superhumans shone in understanding as they finally understood a lot of things.


    They finally understood why the Nak Navy took 5 freaking years before theymenced the Cataclysm despite being ready 5 years earlier.


    They finally understood why Captain Chan left years ago.


    Everything finally made sense.


    The only truth that they didn''t want to ept was that of Titania and the army of Space Bugs that were at this moment currently sweeping through the whole Roronoa Star System, looking for prey to conquer and rule.


    "I believe you". Legs replied seriously as he looked at Champion Onana.


    After his game interface''s notification, he could no longer ignore the truth behind this warrior''s words. His game interface changed everything.


    In the blink of an eye, from war enemies, their vibes and reaction to the iing threat already turned intorades in distress.


    To survive, fate was already hinting at a controversial topic, cooperation.


    Enoch gritted his teeth. "They killed so many of us during the war, what if this is just a strategy on his path to carve his escape?"


    "If this is really the truth, why didn''t they try to convince us immediately about the external threat instead of trying to wipe all of us out".


    "He is correct". Legs turned to look at the Elementalist and said firmly.


    "You would have never believed". Champion Onana added as he looked at the Elementalist. "We were already sworn enemies, you would have never believed if we told you then about the threat and that we should be allies".


    "That is why I took the power approach, it was extreme but it was supposed to be the fastest".


    His mouth twisted as he felt the irony. "I never expected to lose though".


    Legs did not reply to that as he looked straight at this Grade B Mechanic. "I believe you but as you can see, myrades don''t share the same sentiments".


    "Do you have tangible evidence to make me believe?"


    "Yes". Champion Onana smiled as his red and blue eyes gleamed in a creepy manner. "Check the containment chamber in the Roman Rider, my personal Frigate, you''ll see satisfactory evidence there".


    Legs looked at the Mechanic onest time before turning to leave.


    ¡­


    Whoosh!


    The gigantic door leading into the secret workshop hidden in the desert opened with a whooshing sound as multiple Grade C Superhumans entered inside.


    Led by President Shanks, 6 Grade C Superhumans floated in.


    Inside the workshop, apart from the new Heavy Cruiser that E and John were already adding the finishing touches to, and the 2 damaged Destroyers, all the captured Battleships of the Nak Navy were also kept here.


    "That is the Roman Rider".


    Legs pointed at the smallest of all the Battleships, the Frigate.


    Without hesitation, all 6 Grade C Superhumans walked in. A few minutester, they stood before the door leading into the containment chamber.


    "Open it".


    "Yes, Mr. President".


    Shing!


    de unsheathed his Lightsaber and took a step forward, then he pushed the door open, instantly he received an attack that also hit the others.


    -----


    [CRITICAL HIT!]


    [You have been attacked by a Psychic Ability!]


    [You have been attacked by a Cosmic Beast: Space Bug!]


    ----


    Legs'' eyes widened in shock on seeing them.


    Like the others, he also staggered back as blood flowed from his nose, psychic attacks were one type of attack that could bypass literally any defense.


    As they looked at the 8 gigantic Bugs who red at them angrily in shock, the next moment, all 8 Space Bugs started making a lot of noise.


    CHIRP! CHIRP! CHIRP!


    The sound was so loud like millions of birds filled the skies, flying and screaming chaotically as they all felt a headache.


    Without hesitation, the other Space Bugs attacked. While some unleashed magic attacks, others used mechanic abilities, while only one used psychic abilities.


    All 8 of them were Special Space Bugs.


    The worst discovery of all though was the fact that the attack power of all 8 of these Space Bugs was as powerful as a typical Grade C Superhuman.


    At the top of the containment chamber, words were written in red.


    >I call them the Special Space Bugs. They are 3rd, next tost in their ecosystem and food chain<


    >There are 81 confirmed Special Space Bugs<


    >Above them is the Unique Space Bugs. These monsters can merge more abilities in their evolved bodies, that means they can be mechanics, mages, summoners, and psychics all at the same time<


    >As for thest of them, you know him, it''s the Bug Emperor himself<


    >By the way, he is a Grade A Cosmic Beast<


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    ¡­


    A weekter, President Shanks was holding the 3rd consecutive gathering of all the higher-ups of Darvis to discuss the new discoveries.


    Again, the gathering was chaotic.


    "We can''t trust them!"


    "They''ve been plotting on how to kill us and turn our survivors into ves for centuries, there''s no way I can see them as warrades".


    "But we''ll die if we don''t cooperate".


    "I''d rather die than cooperate with a Nak warrior, we should kill them all!"


    "Despite the threat of this new so-called Cataclysm, I don''t endorse cooperating with the Naks, they''re already our sworn enemies".


    "I won''t be a part of it!"


    "We''ve survived the first Cataclysm; I believe we can survive the second".


    Unable toe to a consensus, all eyes turned to the front of this meeting hall where President Shanks sat, they waited for the President to speak.


    President Shanks closed his eyes and rubbed his head; he was clearly stressed. "I think I''ve heard the voice of the majority, I''ll uphold to it".


    "I also don''t think we can ally with the Naks".


    "I think we can fight the Cosmic Beasts alone¡­"


    BAM!


    A palm mmed against a table, shattering it to dust as one of the Grade C Superhumans sprang to his feet, letting his energy erupt and rumble without restraints to every corner of this meeting hall.


    The aggressiveness and power put tension and silence in the hall.


    "Fight the Cosmic Beasts alone my ass!" Legs did not hold back, he roared.


    "Do you know what a Cosmic Beast is?"


    "Have you ever been in Space?"


    "Have you ever fought a Cosmic Beast?!"


    "You all bicker so much I''m beginning to feel sick!"


    His hands shook in anger as he spoke. "What would Jon Stones feel?"


    "All those who sacrificed their lives fighting the Clown Society in the Battle of Hellfire Mountains¡­, WHAT WILL THEY FEEL?!" He exploded.


    "You think they gave up their lives for something vain like pride?"


    "I don''t think so".


    "You know what I think? I think they gave their life for us!"


    "THEY F*CKING GAVE THEIR LIFE FOR SURVIVAL!"


    "THEY GAVE UP THEIR LIVES FOR PLANET DARVIS!"


    "THEY GAVE UP THEIR LIFE SO WE COULD LIVE ON!"


    "Seeing how vested you all are on pride and all that, I think Jon Stones'' spirit will be crying from heaven. We''ve let their sacrifice down".


    Legs chuckled and it sounded like the chuckle of an evil viin.


    "I won''t let you all disgrace their sacrifice".


    "They died so we can survive, making a stupid decision that will lead to our extinction is spitting at their graves and mocking their sacrifice".


    "I don''t know about you all but if what it takes for their sacrifice to not be in vain and for us to survive is to ally with the Naks, I am ready to do it".


    Legs eyes gleamed as he thought. ''I''ve not even grown powerful enough yet, I am even yet to know the secret behind reincarnation and you want me to die?''


    ''Hehehe¡­, try again''.


    ''Till I know the secret behind my reincarnation, I''ll be Doomsday!''


    He looked across the hall. "Who is with me?"


    "We need to start preparation for the Cataclysm now".


    "¡­"


    Silence descended in this hall.

 Chapter 417 Uniting Against A Common Enemy

    Thud! Thud!


    A pair of eyes blinked open in the darkness of the prison room.


    Sitting cross-legged in meditation, his breath was as smooth as a gentle breeze moving across a ne as electricity and maism cackled around his body.


    His eyes fully opened when over a dozen eyes focused on his back.


    Champion Onana took a deep breath.


    "You are back?" He smiled. "You surely took your time".


    He finally stood up to look at the door of his prison room as the tension instantly increased. With a slight smile on his face, Champion Onana ignored everyone else as he walked closer with his sight only on Legs.


    At this moment, all the Grade C Superhumans and protectors in Darvis were gathered at this secret prison and as the prisoner came closer, the atmosphere instantly turned tense.


    They felt like they were standing before a weapon of mass destruction.


    It was onlyst week that they were giving their all, fighting to the death.


    Champion Onana''s show in the just concluded war was forever etched in their minds. A single warrior taking on all the strongestbatants of Darvis was not an everyday sight, the means they went to just to subdue him told a lot.


    Without Legs, perhaps, they would have all been rotting in their graves by today, the fear was still etched in their brains.


    It was perfectly normal for them to feel endangered.


    After walking close enough, Champion Onana held the Arcanite metal bars as his eyes remained trained on only Legs.


    "So, what was the verdict?"


    His smile turned interesting. "Did you guys decide to execute me?"


    "Am I dying today?"


    Legs had a poker look on his face as he looked at this Grade B Super. After bing 21 years old, he was no longer that small boy who was far older than his age mentally, at least he no longer had to use the Ultimate Man Potion.


    Legs looked Champion Onana straight in the eyes.


    "We need to know the fullposition of the enemy we''re facing".


    Champion Onana''s smile widened. "I guess that means I''m free".


    ¡­


    The Desert, E''s secret mechanic workshop¡­


    For a long time since the war, a question had lingered in Onana''s mind. ''How were these backwater dwellers able to get a hold of Destroyers?''


    It was only after seeing the secret mechanic workshop that his eyes widened in understanding, but in exchange, more questions arose.


    ''How were they able to set up a mechanic workshop?''


    ''How did they get ess to a mechanic?''


    ''Or where they somehow able to create Battleships without a Mechanic? Definitely no, that''s crazy!''


    Despite his many questions, it was not yet time to have them answered as like he demanded, they took him to where his Roman Rider was kept.


    The Frigate was damaged from the war but was still operational.


    Leading the way forward, Champion Onana soon arrived in his personal work chamber in the Frigate apanied by the Grade C Superhumans of Darvis.


    There, he was easily able to take back control over the Battleship.


    A few minutester, a virtual projection appeared.

    [Grade: E to D]


    [Body Configuration: 98% Mechanical; 2% Organic!]


    [Biological Organs: Brain and Heart!]


    [Attack Types: Short range and long range!]


    p¦Á§ád¦Á §«?¦Í¨º|,§ã¨°§® [Short Range: They mostly attack relying on their sturdy metal skin for ramming attacks, their deadly metal legs for kicking, and their even more deadly teeth for cutting.]


    [Long Range: Blood Combination Attacks!]


    >After years of basking in the energy and radiation from the Giant Star, the Radiation Space Bugs mutated theirst surviving biological organs into radioactive weapons of mass destruction. Their blood contain radiation<


    >Their Blood Combination Attacks work by channeling this radioactive blood through their heart. Then their brain connect them to each other, forming such an incredible synergy where they unleash their attacks at the same time<


    [Weakness: Intelligence!]


    [The Common Space Bugs are mindless canon fodder, careful maneuvering can enable a normal warrior to dodge theirbination attacks. Killing them is much easier since they are simple-minded Bugs.]


    Champion Onana turned around to face his audience. "These are the weakest of the enemies that areing for us all".


    "In gctic terms, they are not too strong but in Darvis terms, they are. This is because they have an army of tens of millions of these Space Bugs".


    "Imagine a scenario of tens of millions of Grade C Cosmic Beasts invading Darvis, they will be too much for you all to handle".


    "¡­" Instantly, the faces of the Grade C Superhumans turned grave.


    "Their sheer number makes them a great threat but this is not the main threat of theing cataclysm. Like I ssified them as indicated above, there are 2 more sses of these Space Bugs".


    He swiped his hand, causing the Roman Rider''s A.I to make another projection, this time it was of a bigger type of Space Bug, the exact types that Legs and Enoch saw a week ago.


    [SPECIAL SPACE BUG!]


    [Grade: C]


    [Body Configuration: 95% Mechanical; 5% Organic!]


    [Biological Organs: Brain; Heart; Organic Power Reactor; Organic Mana Core!]


    [Attack Types: Short range and long range!]


    [Special Space Bug Types: Psychic; Laser; Pugilist; Commanders!]


    [The Psychics through their organic mana core learn the basics of psychic energy which they fune over years of hibernation and development!]


    [The Lasers through their organic mana core convert universal mana into pure aggressiveser energy which they st at enemies!]


    [The Pugilists channel all their mana into developing their metal bodies into the sturdiest and strongest vessel of destruction!]


    [The Commanders direct most of their development towards their brain. But unlike the Psychics, they focus on learning how tomand Common Space Bugs in battle. In the right circumstances, they are the most dangerous!]


    [Confirmed Special Space Bugs: 81]


    "Compared to the Common Space Bugs, they are far lesser in number but¡­" He looked at them. "Like I said, imagine a scenario of 81 Grade C Supers invading Darvis, I doubt you have what it takes to defend against them".


    Another virtual projection lit up.


    [UNIQUE SPACE BUG!]


    [Grade: B]


    [Body Configuration: 90% Mechanical; 10% Organic!]


    [Attack Types: Short range and Long range!]


    [Dangerous Capabilities: Ability tomand more than 1 energy!]


    [Threat Assessment: Extremely Dangerous!]


    [Confirmed Unique Space Bugs: 3]


    This time, Champion Onana smirked. "During my escape battle from Titania, I lost my main war weapon, my strongest mechanic suit".


    "With my weaker suit, I gave you lot a run for your money".


    "Imagine me in my strongest form, then imagine 3 me in my strongest form invading Darvis, you''ll be extinct in an hour". Onana was ruthlessly direct with his words.


    "As for thest species, there is only one of them, him".


    Another virtual projection lit up, this time of a gigantic version of the Space Bugs that was so big that it seemed like a mini in itself.


    [BUG CONQUEROR!]


    [Grade: A]


    [Body Configuration: 60% Mechanical; 40% Organic!]


    [Body ssification: A true Cyborg!]


    [Attack Types: Short range, Long range, and Extreme range!]


    [Dangerous Capabilities: Numerous!]


    [Threat Assessment: Exceedingly Dangerous!]


    [Status in Bug Hierarchy: Leader!]


    The sight of this gigantic Cosmic Horror already chilled the Grade C Superhumans who were present watching, some of them gulped.


    This time, Champion Onana''s face was also grave.


    "This is our main enemy, the Bug Conqueror".


    "He is the envoy of theing Cataclysm!"


    Champion Onana looked at all the Grade C Superhumans present. "He is our Common Enemy that we should do everything to take down".


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    Silence descended and reigned for a few seconds.


    "Hehe¡­" One of the Superhumans suddenly chuckled, all eyes in this Battleship turned to look at him, his eyes were like he was going crazy.


    "A Grade A Beast¡­" He body shook as heughed. "We''re dead! Do we even stand a chance?!"


    "Alone, no". Champion Onana interrupted. "But I think with luck, we might stand a chance if we unite against thismon enemy".


    All eyes focused on him again, this was when Legs spoke.


    "Before deciding, tell me¡­" His eyes gleamed. "How were you and your fleet able to escape the grasp of a Grade A Cosmic Beast?"


    He red at him. "You may be powerful, but you stand no chance against a bonavide Grade A Monster".


    His eyes narrowed. "Tell me the truth".


    "¡­" Champion Onana froze.

 Chapter 418 Allies

    "¡­" Champion Onana froze as thoughts flowed through his head.


    The next moment, he rubbed his head and chuckled.


    "I knew you were a genius, an intelligent one but I didn''t expect you to be this good, I think I still underestimated you a bit".


    Legs did not respond to that as a poker look remained on his face.


    "Before I answer, I would like to have a question answered". His eyes narrowed as he looked at Legs. "Where you really born in Darvis?"


    "Your knowledge about things is like that of a gctic citizen".


    Still, Legs responded with a poker look.


    Champion Onana no longer beat around the bush. "I would have told you sooner orter, so there''s no harm in revealing it now".


    His face turned serious. "I surrendered to you on my own volition".


    "My master is an Admiral of the Nak Navy, a Grade A Nak Warlord".


    "They call him¡­ The War Mechanic".


    "As a student of an Admiral, of course I am entitled to a lot of things, things like freebees from him. Before being sent on this mission by him, he gave me some gifts that could aid me in my journey through this uncharted region".


    Legs'' face remained poker but inwardly, he smiled. ''So it''s the Eastern Fantasy master to student gift style, feels so nostalgic man''.


    Champion Onana continued. "My Master''s gifts saved us".


    "I lost a few Spaceships while escaping, but surviving was all that mattered".


    "Despite my Master''s gifts though, I am not confident of going up against the Grade A Space Bug and defeating him".


    "That is why I surrendered after my defeat to you guys".


    "I knew that I couldn''t afford to sacrifice and waste my trump cards when the real enemy was yet toe, doing that was stupid".


    "I think the only way to survive the Cataclysm is to be allies".


    "¡­"


    All the Grade C Superhumans were stunned after hearing this.


    Surviving the Cataclysm that they thought was being induced by the Nak Navy was a great source of pride to them all, now hearing a different perspective about how they won, they no longer felt as proud.


    A victory that was handed to you was much less fulfilling than one that you sweat, fought, and suffered for before winning it deservedly.


    Legs nodded. "I believe you".


    He turned to look at President Shanks. "My President, your decision?"


    "¡­" President Shanks paused as a conflicted look was on his face.


    President Shanks soon sighed audibly, he looked at Legs. "I think you are right, Jon Stones at this moment would not be happy in heaven".


    "Besides, I think I forgot the oath that I made to the citizens of Darvis".


    "I once swore to always defend the sovereignty of Darvis".


    "Defending the entails doing everything necessary to keep the alive no matter how painful it is. If protecting the involves me sleeping with a Troll, I will sleep with a Troll".


    "If defending the means befriending my enemy, I will do it". President Shank''s eyes gleamed as the uncertainty and doubt left him.


    "I don''t intend to break my oath now".


    "Thees first". He looked at the Grade B Champion with a look of determination on his face. "You''ve shown your sincerity by revealing so much to us. For this, I am grateful".


    "If the Nak Navy is willing, I, President Shanks, the ruler of Darvis, on the authority vested on me, I am willing to ally with the Naks to fight themon enemy and protect our sovereignty".


    None of the Grade C Superhumans standing beside President Shanks objected. If some of them were still bitter, they did a good job at keeping their bitterness to themselves as Champion Onana finally smiled again.


    "Before you agreed to be allies, you asked for a condition". Champion Onana looked at President Shanks before turning to face Legs.


    "I also have a little condition".


    President Shanks briefly frowned. "Say it".


    "I want to know how you were able to build a Destroyer. As far as I know, there are only 3 Super knowledges in Darvis".


    "Is there something that I don''t know?"


    "Yes". Legs answered without hesitation.


    "Follow me".


    Legs turned and led the way forward.


    ¡­


    "I am almost done with the assembling". E sighed even as a proud look adorned her face as she looked at the gigantic metal structure before her; she wiped sweat away from her face. "What do you think of this final look?"


    John raised his head as he looked at the virtual projection of the Heavy Cruiser in it''s final form, he looked briefly before turning away. "Good".


    "Huh? What do you mean by good?"


    "How can you be satisfied with just good? Tell me something beautiful, use creative words like a poem, like, justplement my work".


    "You know, this is my first time building a Heavy Cruiser".


    "Can''t you be a good husband for once?!"


    "I am not your husband!" John stressed with an exasperated expression on his face but he paused as soon as he turned.


    Thud! Thud!


    This was when E''s blinked, indicating the intruders.


    Even before looking, she already felt the familiar aura as goosebumps instantly crept up her skin. Turning around, they looked at the war prisoner which Legs and his buddies managed to captured a week ago.


    E took 2 steps back. "W-What is he doing here?"


    "Legs, what is this?"


    When a high-grade Super of a certain ss stood before a lower grade Super of the same ss, there was an instinctive suppression. This phenomenon barely existed in the lower stages but is predominant in the higher stages.


    It was this suppression and the sense of inferiority that affected both Mechanics at this moment as they froze.


    Seeing the both of them, Champion Onana froze.


    "A Virtual Mechanic¡­" He muttered.


    "A Technician Mechanic!" His eyes glowed like he just hit the jackpot in a lottery, it was like chicken blood was just injected in him.


    ''How is this possible?'' He was baffled.


    ''I thought there are no Mechanics in Darvis, or else¡­''


    Champion Onana turned to face Legs. "How were you able to pull off something this ridiculous? I know you''re the one who did it".


    Legs calmly looked down at him. "This is not part of your question".


    "I will only tell you my secrets when I feel that I''m safe to do so. As for now, you''re still nothing but a powerful prisoner to me".


    "Ok". Champion Onana nodded.


    "So, will you ally with Darvis?"


    Onana grinned. "Yes".


    Instantly, Legs felt like a heavy weight was just lifted off from his heart. As for Champion Onana, he waspletely focused on the Technician Mechanic.


    ''I never expected to meet one of these rare master crafters here''.


    ''I really hit the jackpot''.


    ''With her help, I may be able to bring Berserker back to life much stronger than he had ever been in his previous life".


    As he fantasized about future cooperation projects, Legs finally asked the question that all the Grade C Superhumans wanted to ask.


    "So, how long do we have till the Cataclysm?"


    Champion Onana turned to look at him. "Less than 6 months".

 Chapter 419 Legolas Baron

    "Less than 6 months¡­"


    It was a single sentence but it was a powerful one.


    This single sentence was what prompted Darvis into action. Seeing Champion Onana''s charts and virtual projections was one thing, but imagining the scenario of facing the real thing was an entirely different thing.


    All the Grade C Superhumans were grounded in reality.


    ''This is war!''


    ''Our lives are at stake and we need to do everything to survive!''


    ''Afterall, in war, there are no rules to survival, just survive!''


    Instantly after that single sentence, President Shanks took over from there.


    On his orders, 5 Grade C Superhumans escorted Champion Onana and an entourage of Superhumans to the different prisons where the Nak Champions were held as prisoners.


    Of course, Champion Onana''s first demand was releasing his people.


    While this went on, at the same time, the surviving traitors of the Clown Society who took refuge with the Nak Navy also received special attention.


    President Shanks made special demand for them.


    "We need them; they are ours".


    Champion Onana did not object so they were all taken into custody. While all these happened, Legs took charge of the negotiations between both races.


    This cooperation already exceeded the realms of normal negotiations, it was negotiation between different races with entirely different cultures.


    To avoid being scammed by the other, Legs volunteered for the job.


    ¡­


    -----


    [You have managed to strike a favorable deal with the Nak Navy!]


    [You have unlocked Minor Title: Negotiator!]


    >Negotiator: +50% Persuasion and Negotiation skills<


    ----


    It was already 2 days since Darvis and the Nak Navy reconciled, and under Legs'' leadership, after these 2 days of clever negotiation, the terms of cooperation between the Nak Navy and Darvis was finalized.


    Legs looked through the contract onest time.


    >Cooperation Contract<


    >Contract Terms<


    * Unrestricted exchange of any information rted to theing cataclysm and the army of Space Bugs


    * Active steps to cooperation by helping each other unconditionally in preparation for theing cataclysm


    * Exchange of Arcanite Metal for equivalent payment trade


    * General free trade between both races


    * ess to more ss knowledges


    * ess to the gctic web and gctic transport services


    Getting the 2nd tost use in the contract was extremely hard. Champion Onana only conceded because Legs already knew his obsession with finding anyway possible to improve as a warrior, this was what he used against him.


    In exchange for getting ess to more ss knowledges, every high-grade warrior in Darvis will contribute in any capacity towards furthering his growth as a Super.


    As a Mechanic Super, in as much as Champion Onana grew stronger through battle, growing stronger also relied strongly on the quality of his mech suit.


    In essence, Champion Onana just solicited the unconditional help from the Virtual Mechanic and Technician Mechanic who were in Darvis to help with building his next Mechanic suit for the war.


    This warrior was ambitious, his ideal n for the cataclysm was building a mech suit so OP that he broke the barrier into the Grade A realm.


    Though Legs knew this waspletely ridiculous, he agreed.


    Finalizing the contract sent ripples of shock through Darvis as a whole. Once again, the citizens of this were witnessing history being made.


    Their whole life, Superhumans were only exposed to 3 Super knowledges. For the first time in their lives, they were exposed to the 3 other Super knowledges that made up the Super world, this was an era defining moment.


    Not just the NPCs, the yers also got this new unexpected benefit.

    ----


    This Regional announcement sent ripples of shock through the yermunity; the yermunity was sent into a frenzy.


    As the global yer forum exploded with activity, another pivotal event also took ce in Darvis on that same day.


    After the contract negotiation came the wee and naming ceremony of the very first Heavy Cruiser in Darvis.


    After years of development alongside John, E, the Technician Mechanic finally fulfilled her childhood dream and created a real Heavy Cruiser.


    The whole of Darvis watched through virtual projections as in the Presidential Vi, an iconic naming ceremony was held.


    President Shanks was the star of the show. After much excitement and refreshment, the President was finally called up to the podium.


    Standing there, President Shanks felt emotional.


    "It''s been 6 years since I climbed this podium as the President of our beloved. And though I dare not say that I am perfect, I''ve tried my best".


    "I''ve given my all to make Darvis a better to live in".


    "After 6 years of growth, promoting the beauty of democracy and as our unity grew, so also did we develop and be a stronger force".


    "Our Supers are stronger and more numerous than before".


    "We haveary defense measures".


    "We have 2 Destroyers".


    "And recently, we allied with our first gctic force, the Nak Navy. I believe this is a first of many and from the benefits that we gained, I strongly believe that this is a step forward in the right direction".


    "In a few years'' time, we will also be able to travel in space".


    "Space travel will no longer be a fairytale, we will fulfill the dreams of our ancestors, travel through the universe and build our power".


    "Compared to 6 years ago¡­" President Shanks smiled. "I call this growth".


    "This would have never been possible without the constant support of everyone around me from the Vice President, to the High Officials, to the Grade C Superhumans and the millions of citizens who constantly support me".


    "For your support, I forever remain grateful".


    "Our ordeals of the past 6 years culminated in this moment". His smile widened as he looked to the side, giving the signal as the gigantic robe covering the huge metal structure floating in the air was removed.


    Instantly, the majestic Heavy Cruiser was showed in its full glory.


    Made in a slightly oval shape with it''s green and ck metal hull, the Heavy Cruiser like E envisioned looked like a military weapon of mass destruction.


    President Shanks grinned. "Our struggles all culminated in this moment".


    "The moment that our efforts will finally be crowned".


    "The moment that symbolizes our growth".


    "This Heavy Cruiser".


    Even before he got to this part of his speech, the cheers from the spectating Superhumans and citizens of Darvis was already explosive as they cheered wildly at the top of their voices.


    A lot of them felt like they were dreaming, they experienced different emotions. To most of them, it felt too good to be true.


    Just 6 years ago, Darvis was still a novice to technology, they were still bumpkins. Fast-forward 6 years to now, they had grown so much.


    Seeing the Golden Cicada in action just about a week ago struck fear into the hearts of the warriors of the. The destructive might of the Heavy Cruiser left an unforgettable imprint in their hearts, now seeing theirs, pride filled their hearts.


    At this moment, every single one of them felt proud to be called warriors of Darvis, their citizenship became a thing of pride.


    It was only after the explosive cheers that President Shanks finally continued.


    "In as much as this Heavy Cruiser is a reflection of our growth as a united, without giving special mention to someone, it will not beplete".


    President Shanks felt a pair of eyes ring at him from the high table but he only snickered and continued his speech. "This special someone is the secret anchor at the center of our growth for the past 6 years".


    "He became a hero all the way from the days of the Clown Society".


    "Without his help, we would have never been adequately prepared for the just concluded war. We would have never hadary defense measures; we would have never fielded 2 Destroyers to counter the Battleships of the enemies".


    "Without his help, perhaps, we would have been all dead".


    "I am the President but he is the real leader". President Shank''s voice exuded genuine respect at this moment.


    "This man is no other than the hero of the battle of Hellfire Mountains, who some know as the Sexy Chocte¡­" He grinned on feeling the re. "But the Majority know him as High Official and Army Commander Legs".


    The cheers were thunderous as the spectators cheered at the top of their voices, clearly, their respect for this individual was at an all-time high.


    President Shanks continued. "The Heavy Cruiser was possible all because of him and as acknowledgement for his efforts, I name this Battleship¡­ Legs Baron".


    The naming ceremony concluded on a high as celebrations rocked the whole. They needed this feeling of joy in preparation for the cataclysm.

 Chapter 420 Preparations

    Konot IV, headquarters of the Powell Mech Corporation¡­


    At the highest floor of this skyscraper that levitated in the sky city in Konot IV, the CEO, Core Mechanic, and core Mech Designer of the Power Mech Corporation stood with both his hands behind his back.


    At this moment, through the see through ss wall of this floor, he was able to look outside, down at the busy environment of the floating city.


    The floating city was called the Kraken Den, it was the city for the elite where the richest and most powerful individuals in Konot IV resided.


    As this powerful Grade B Mechanic looked, the breeze from the air conditioners blew at his hair, reminding him of his receding hairline, he sighed.


    He was not alone here, a beautiful youngdy was behind him, his daughter.


    Without turning, he finally spoke.


    "You¡­ feel different".


    E smiled. "Yes, the past few days has been good to me, I feel better".


    "I think my Mechanic abilities have improved exponentially".


    Powell sighed at that. "You know, as a young budding Mechanic and mech designer then, I was also lost in passion. It was after years of failure that I became grounded in reality, I was lucky, I got to understand the cruelty of the world fast".


    "This enabled me to leave my fantasies behind and be grounded in reality. I was able to evolve, bing the me of today".


    "My dogged determination for sess drove me into building and developing the Powell Mech Corporation to where it is today".


    "Even in death, your mother recognized my efforts and always supported it". He finally turned to face his daughter. "Why can''t you recognize my efforts?"


    E frowned. "Dad, what do you mean?"


    "After achieving so much, do you know what my next greatest ambition is?"


    "My greatest ambition now is developing you into a better Mechanic and mech designer than I ever was, I want you to lead the Powell Mech Corporation in the future to greater heights".


    E kept quiet as she could already tell where her dad was going to.


    "Why are you still with him?!" His voice finally rose up a crescendo.


    "Viting my wish to marry the perfect husband wasn''t enough, yet you''re still intent on following that lowlife pirate!"


    "As if still not enough, you vited my advice that you''re not yet ready and went behind my back to build a Heavy Cruiser!"


    His face was red with fury. "Why can''t you be my perfect daughter?!"


    "Why must you be so stubborn?!"


    "But Dad¡­, I didn''t intend to hide it from you, constructing a Heavy Cruiser developed my Mechanic skills in so many ways¡­"


    "SHUT UP!" Powell roared at his daughter.


    "You are my baby!" He red at her. "My only child, my only daughter".


    "I won''t let you waste away your potential".


    "I already built the perfect development chart for you to grow into bing the best you, and you shall not defy me!" His voice rose again.


    "You shall leave John or else I will kill him!"


    "You''re grounded for 2 years, you will not leave the headquarters until youpletely understand your mistakes and atone for them".


    "¡­" E''s eyes widened in shock.


    "Don''t worry about that lowlife pirate, I already sent him back to where he belongs. He''s on a pirate ship currently leaving the Goan Star System".


    "That is my mercy to him, he will leave far away from you and you shall not see him again".


    "That is also my mercy for you". He red at his daughter.


    By the time that her father finished, E was already shaking in rage as her face became flushed and red, her hands shook as she barely got a hold of herself.


    BEEP!


    She looked down at hermunicator.


    >[Your Excellency the Hermit, the one who rules in the gray mist, the unmatched ruler of the gray world, bestow me with your blessings]<


    >When you''re ready, say it, you know what will happen<


    >See you in Darvis<


    >Sender: John<<novelsnext>please visit </novelsnext>


    E looked back up at her father and tears flowed from her eyes. "No wonder mom died¡­, you killed her".


    Tears flowed without cease from her eyes. "You killed her with your obsession with details, your obsession with your meticulous ns".


    "Your obsession with your rigid ns killed mom!" She roared back at his face, stunning him.


    "All that was needed was you sending money for the surgery but you insisted on following your budget. Just because you already budgeted money for your work, your refused to reallocate and went elsewhere looking for additional money".


    "Before you were able to get money, mom died".


    "Then, I didn''t understand but now I do¡­" She sniffed. "You''re a murderer, a murderer disguised as a businessman and Mechanic".


    "Dad, I''m sorry¡­, I can''t live with a murderer".


    Powell''s eyes were already furrowed a few seconds ago as he red at his daughter, waiting for what she was about to do.


    The next moment, E sped her palms together like she was praying.


    "Your Excellency the Hermit, the one who rules in the gray mist, the unmatched ruler of the gray world, bestow me with your blessings".


    "What are you saying¡­?" Powell paused in shock from what he saw.


    Gray mist emerged from nowhere and started engulfing his daughter.


    "Dad¡­" E looked her father in the eyes. "Goodbye".


    Bzzz!


    She disappeared.


    "¡­" Powell froze in shock.


    "FIND MY DAUGHTER!!!"


    The whole Powell Mech Corporation was prompted into action as search efforts for the whereabouts of Ms. E started to no avail.


    That day, E ran from home and followed her dream.


    ¡­


    A few days after the naming ceremony of the Legs Baron, another higher-up meeting was held. This time, it was the first joint meeting since the official alliance between Darvis and the Nak Navy.


    The meeting was already going on for a few hours.


    After much discussion, they arrived at a general consensus as Champion Onana summarized everything. "Our general direction is concluded then, the priority is on building reliable scout Spaceships".


    "We don''t stand a chance, but to improve our chances, knowing exactly when the enemy will arrive will prove pivotal to surviving".


    "Apart from building scout Spaceships, we need to turn Darvis into a proper defensive fortress". This time, Champion Onana smiled. "Fortunately, this time, I have ess to more natural metals and mineral resource".


    "Leave fortifying the to me and E, together, we can turn Darvis into a proper defensive bulwark".


    "Apart from that, we need to restore all our Battleships to working condition and if possible, adding more Battleships is also essential".


    "Despite all these, the main element of theing Cataclysm remains Supers. This war is a war against a Grade A Cosmic Beast".


    "Grade A Supers and Beasts are entities who are already extremely close to transiting into the realm of Gods, they are extremely powerful".


    "In gctic society, they are called Cmity Grade Supers, this is because of their frightening ability toy waste tos when going at it unrestricted".


    "Our best chance of surviving still relies on Supers, Battleships are mere inconveniences against a beast of such a level".


    "The best is to have a Grade A Super to counter him but that''s ridiculous, so as apromise, we need to settle for the less which is more Grade B Supers".


    Champion Onana''s eyes gleamed. "We need more Grade B Supers".


    He looked straight at Legs. "More Grade B Supers".


    "¡­" Legs responded with silence. ''The f*ck! Do they think I pluck experience points from trees and can level up endlessly?''


    Champion Onana could not read his thoughts so he continued. "President Shanks, like you already said, you''ll be in charge of this".


    "To stand a chance at survival, we need to increase our Super individual strength to the possible peak where we can put more of a struggle".


    "I think that''s all".


    "In a few months'' time, depending on how much we were able to develop and grow stronger, we''ll finalize the official Cataclysm n".


    The meeting was finally called to a close.

 Chapter 421 Execution

    An army of tens of millions of Radiation Space Bugs moved through Space.


    At the very front as they moved floated the Alpha Space Bug. Covering such an enormous space that it seemed like a mini floating through space, its body had its own gravitational pull, it was a real cosmic horror.


    It''s gigantic metal tail flicked left and right as it floated through space.


    CHIRP! CHIRP! CHIRP!


    The horde of Space Bugs spread menace everywhere that they went, devouring asteroids and other space junks floating in space as they moved.


    The most exciting fact to these Space Bugs was the fact that most of these space junks contained residual radiation from the Radioactive pulse centuries ago. As they moved, they were able to devour more radiation.


    This not only made them stronger; it also made them increase their numbers as some Space Bugs reproduced on this war journey.


    Leading at the front of the horde, the gigantic Bug eyes of the Alpha gleamed as it''s biological ultra long range senses finally detected familiar signs.


    "PLANETS!" His voice boomed with excitement.


    The next moment, after activating a special ability, 2 special apparitions looking like itself separated from its body.


    One of them went to Deart, while the other to Darvis.


    ¡­


    Headquarters of the Nightmare Army¡­


    3 females stood outside the door leading to the office of one of the most high-ranking warriors and higher-ups of the Nightmare Army.


    >VICE ARMY COMMANDER CHRISTENSEN<


    2 of these females hadplicated looks on their faces as they looked at the writing on the door indicating the authority of the individual that was inside.


    ''Things surely change fast''. One of them thought.


    Ariel stood before the door and was about to knock.


    "Wait outside". She indicated before knocking once, then she casually opened the door and entered, she knew he was toozy to answer her.


    On entering inside the office, like she expected, Christensen waszing about, ignoring the bunch of documents on his table as he yed and chilled with all 4 of his beasts who were currently in his office.


    Flying around in the office, Neo sang a song.


    "Love is like a bullet".


    "Once it leaves the muzzle of the gun, there''s noing back".


    "Love is rigid and unreasonable, love is foolish!"


    "Oh love, foolish love!"


    The butterfly hummed a long beat after this as he flew happily in the air like he was mesmerized after getting drunk from drinking rum.


    Ariel cringed hard at the sight but she was used to it.


    At the very front of the office,yingzily before the see-through ss, Brutus and Leo apanied each other as they watched the thousands of warriors and recruits that were walking around and training below.


    "So weak". Brutusmented.


    "Hehe¡­" Leo chuckled. "Christensen was also once like that, I still remember our firstbo ability then, we were just like these bumpkins then".


    "I also even remember back further, hehe, when Chris was just a good for nothing Prince. Uncle Legs really saved him or his life would have been doomed, I remember doing nothing then than eating all day".


    "He also did nothing else than petting me all day like a f*cking pet".


    Brutus snickered before directing a disdainful look at Christensen.


    "Stop judging me you 2". Christensenined.


    Even as heined, this did not stop him from rubbing Frigga''s thick fur, he asked the Snow Fenrir. "How do you feel?"


    "I feel amazing, I also feel tense". Frigga gave off a vibe like he was grinning.


    "My instincts scream danger and I''m loving it".


    "I don''t know how close I am to full recovery yet but I believe theing Cataclysm is my chance. It''s been long since I sparred with cosmic beasts, I believe that familiar feeling will be a great stimulus to push me further".


    "Well, if you don''t die quickly, I may fully recover in the Cataclysm".


    Christensen was excited. "What do you think is the sess percentage?"


    "2.5%". Frigga answered seriously.


    "¡­" Christensen looked at his contracted beast speechlessly.


    "Ugh¡­, forget it".


    Christensen and his contracted beasts did all these nonchntly while fully knowing that someone entered the office.


    Ariel''s face briefly flushed. "This is so irresponsible of the Vice Army Commander! What if I was an Assassin?"


    "You won''t even know till you''re dead".


    Christensen looked at her. "You''re too weak to kill me".


    Ariel fumed. "Damn, you''re seriously sullying the incredible reputation of the Nightmare Army, I should have a good talk with the Army Commander about revoking your authority as the Vice Army Commander".<novelsnext>please visit </novelsnext>


    "Because, seriously, what¡­"


    "What happened?" Christensen interrupted her in a calm collected tone.


    Ariel fumed but her business mood kicked in. "Ahem¡­, reporting to the Vice Army Commander, 2dies came asking for you".


    Christensen remained rubbing and caressing Frigga''s thick fur.


    "They came directly from the prison; they were throwing up a big fuss about seeing you. One of them is called Hestia, the other Bianca".


    Christensen''s hand paused; Frigga directed aining look at him.


    "Sorry". He apologized to the Snow Fenrir before sitting upright.


    Instantly, Christensen''s mood experienced a change. "Let them in".


    At this moment, Leo also looked back after hearing those 2 names. The next moment, Ariel opened the door as bothdies entered inside the office.


    Even after more than 6 years, bothdies didn''t look much different. Bianca was still the pale-skin beautifuldy with light blue hair, light blue eyebrows, and light blue lips. Also, Hestia still looked like the opposite of her.


    Christensen felt that familiar feeling of facing fire and ice on seeing them.


    "Hestia, Bianca". He spoke.


    "Vice Army Commander Christensen". Bothdies bowed respectfully.


    Christensen had a poker look on his face as they did this. "It''s been years since Ist saw both of you, what brought you here?"


    Hestia forced a smile. "We''re siblings you know".


    "Yeah, I know". Christensen looked directly at her. "I know you, I lived with you for a significant part of my life, tell me to me face, what do you want?"


    Ariel''s lips twitched; Christensen was still as straightforward as ever.


    Hestia sighed. "You''ve changed".


    "I know". Christensen nodded. "Without changing, I would have never be Vice Army Commander Christensen".


    "My time is limited, tell me what you want".


    Thud! Thud!


    Bothdies fell on their knees the next moment. "We know that we''ve wronged you but we''re still siblings. From heaven, I believe our parents would not be happy to see us living in this estranged manner".


    "We''vee to apologize, please forgive us as your only siblings".


    "Let''s return to how we were as kids".


    Christensen silently looked at them for over 2 dozen minutes without saying a word, a sentence rang in his mind. ''This is always how we have been''.


    He finally spoke. "Over the years, even as I grew stronger as a warrior, I also grew and matured as a human being".


    "The more I grow, the more I understand a lot of things".


    "Bianca apologizing when pushed to the wall is feasible from what I''ve observed, but you¡­" He looked at his eldest sister. "You''re a porcupine, an unbreakable wall, that''s what you are, you never yield nor surrender".


    "I believe this is a tactic to escape your penalties before the jury".


    "Let me just make it straight before you". His eyes turned sharp. "In case you don''t know before, I am one of the higher-ups of Darvis".


    "I can''t turn a blind eye to your sins just because you''re my siblings. No body is above thew, you must stand before the jury and pay the price for your sins".


    Tears were already flowing down Bianca''s eyes but with a fiery gaze, Hestia looked at her younger brother. "Hehe¡­, you won".


    Without hesitation, she stood up and left, Bianca soon followed.


    As soon as they left, Christensen muttered to himself. "I miss when we were still innocent kids who knew nothing, it was sweet and memorable then".


    "What I don''t miss is our teenage years which shaped most of what I ended up bing". He sighed. "No body is above thew".


    A few hourster, all the survivors of the Clown Society stood before the jury that was created by President Shanks over the years of his service.


    The Judge gave his verdict.


    "For the mass murders and destruction that was inflicted on the by the Clown Society, aided and abetted by all of you, I hereby sentence you all¡­" Silence descended. "To death".


    A few minutester, all the survivors of the Clown Society stood on the execution tform before their Executioner, the Berserker.


    This Grade D Pugilist was one of the stand-out warriors of the Pugilist Academy in the Nightmare Army, he was given the privilege to be the Executioner.


    Holding the Executioner''s axe, he got prepared to do the deed.


    As soon as he raised the Axe, no one noticed but this warrior''s eyes briefly turned white as in invisible apparition invaded into his body.


    When his eyes regained their shine, it was like nothing happened.


    He swung the Axe down with one swing.


    Whoosh!


    A warrior lost his head.


    A few minutester, there was no longer any survivor of the Clown Society.

 Chapter 422 Psychic Possession

    The aftermath of the execution was felt all across Darvis.


    The era of the Clown Society was one that left a deep scar in Darvis. A lot of orphans were birthed due to the Clown Society, a lot of humans were left with traumas after the rampage in the guise of the order of chaos.


    Norman''s eventual death put an end to all the chaos but it did nothing in healing the wounds that was left in the wake of his crazy ideology of order in chaos.


    Despite his death, those who were broken remained broken.


    The orphans remained orphans.


    The crippled remained crippled.


    To some of these people, the only reason that kept them going was that drive to get revenge. For their losses, for their lost loved ones, they were ready to do anything to wipe out the remnants of the Clown Society.


    When President Shanks'' rule began and he pardoned the Skull Necromancer, a lot of them were angered and they turned against his rule.


    Over the years though, some of them cooled down as President Shanks fulfilled his campaign promises and slowly turned Darvis to a paradise.


    Their vengeance and pain were pushed to the back of their minds.


    Being pushed to the back of their minds didn''t mean that they forgot. It was on that execution day that they were finally reminded of the past.


    When ck Master Einstein lost his head, they felt surreal.


    ''He did it''.


    ''The President fulfilled his promise''. They could not believe it.


    ''The remnants of the Clown Society are all dead''.


    ''Mother is finally avenged''.


    ''Brother''s death was not in vain; Darvis is better now''.


    Emotions rose high, a lot of civilians copsed in tears, tears of joy as they celebrated the death of their worst enemies and nightmares.


    To them, finally, the order of chaos was brought to an end.


    President Shanks giving the go ahead to execute ck Master Einstein despite his strength convinced all the citizens of Darvis. President Shanks was the real deal; he was really here to serve them.


    The only survivor was the true mastermind, Alexander. Of course, General Aztog opposed it and therefore, this traitor could not be executed.


    A lot of the citizens didn''t care though, they were satisfied with what they got.


    The execution of the remnants of the Clown Society brought a strange sense of solidarity to the.


    The trust of the citizens on the President increased to an unprecedented level, their unity increased even more in preparations for theing cataclysm, they truly needed it.


    While the aftermath of the execution rocked Darvis, Champion Onana was already off to work alongside his 2 professional assistants.


    "Take this". Champion Onana offered a heart-shaped orb to John.


    "It is a heart imnt". His face turned a little emotional as he handed it to the Virtual Mechanic. "It''s one of my very first gifts from my master, it''spletely mechanical and improves the growth rate of your maic energy".


    "When imnted in your heart, your heart bes capable of pumping maism along with blood".


    "What this means is that you''ll grow stronger passively".


    He patted the virtual mechanic on the shoulder. "Work hard, John. Work hard, I believe you can level up a grade before the Cataclysm begins".


    "I need you at your best to design and craft my Berserker Version 2".


    "¡­" John was stunned as he took the heart-shaped orb.


    He could feel the maic energy radiating from it, and without even needing to know the details, he could tell that it was an extremely expensive device.


    "How much is it?" John asked.


    "Nah, forget it". The cyborg champion waved his hand. "If we survive the Cataclysm and win, we''ll gain much more than this".


    "Besides, take it as a gift from me to you".


    "Thank you". John replied with a serious look on his face, he was truly grateful for the gift, he wasn''t exactly sure how he should express what he felt.


    "Ok, guys,e closer". Onana pped to draw E''s attention.


    The only female among this mechanic group finally walked closer. As soon as she did, Onana snapped his fingers and a virtual projection appeared.


    "This is my sketched goal for 3 of us in the next 6 months".


    Onana''s face glowed with ambition. "During these 6 months, we need to do our best as the only mechanics to increase our chances of survival".


    The virtual projection was divided into 4 parts.<novelsnext>please visit </novelsnext>


    The first part depicted an imposing war mech suit, the 2nd part depicted thousands of war turrets around a base aiming at the skies. The 3rd part depicted a huge asteroid, and thest part depicted a Battleship.


    Champion Onana grinned. "Of course, the first part of my n is Operation Designing and Crafting Berserker Version 2".


    "I am the single most powerful warrior in the allied army, to increase our strength, one of the most straightforward ways is improving my war weapon".


    "I intend to create a 2nd version for my strongest mechanic suit".


    "I intend to make it stronger than the old version and is why I need both of your helps". He looked at John. "With your virtual skills, I hope you''re able to help me realize my vision of the ultimate Combat A.I and mech suit interface".


    Then he looked at E. "As a Technician Mechanic, you know the basics of mech design and craftsmanship far more than I do".


    "I need your help to make Berserker 2 as strong as possible".


    He looked into her eyes. "It''s a passion project to me".


    "I will give my best". E said seriously.


    Onana finally smiled, he swiped at the virtual screen. "The 2nd part of the n is building a properary defense system for Darvis".


    He looked at both of them. "I still don''t understand how Legs was able to bring the both of you here, but I''m pretty sure you both are gctic citizens, you both have seen what a properary defense system is capable of".


    "Since Darvis has an abundance of Arcanite metal, I intend to use its special properties as the basis to create a properary defense system".


    "I call the 3rd part of the n Operation Giant Nak Fortress".


    Onana''s face turned serious. "You have not seen the enemy, I have. I know how horrifying they are and is why we need to go far and beyond our normal limits if we are to stand a chance at winning".


    "There is a giant asteroid close to Darvis, General Aztog fortified it into his base during his quest to overthrow Darvis".


    "My ambitious n is to drag the Giant Nak Fortress here and fortify it even more, turning it into aplete turtle shell defensive bulwark".


    His eyes gleamed. "It will be our first line of defense".


    "As for the 4th part of the n, like depicted, it involves battleships. Originally, after seeing your work and efficiency, I would have gone with us creating another Destroyer in the next 6 months but it''s too weak against our enemies".


    "Against the Space Bugs, we need Battleships that have the capabilities to be one-man armies against them and only Heavy Cruisers are capable of this".


    His eyes gleamed. "It''s a stretch but I believe we can do it".


    "We must create an additional Heavy Cruiser to aid our defense".


    The work n that Champion Onana justid out was nothing short of tedious but none of them were deterred, they instead felt excited at the prospects.


    Apart from battles, building mechanic war machines and tools were the best way for Mechanics to grow stronger, they were all hyped for the work.


    They did not hesitate, that same day, they started working.


    ¡­


    The Berserker became a celebrity all of a sudden, and it was all due to one thing that he did, being the Executioner who killed the remnants of the Clown Society on behalf of all citizens in Darvis.


    He returned to the Nightmare Army like a hero.


    "I love you Berserker!"


    "You''re the best! I love you baby!"


    "You''re the strongest!"


    They evenposed a song for him.


    Basking on all this attention, the Berserker felt on top of the world but due to a strange reason, he was feeling uneasy.


    ''What''s wrong with me?''


    ''Is it the tiredness from the thrill of executing 2 Grade C Superhumans?''


    ''Perhaps, I should go sleep''.


    That night, as heid on his bed, a spooky apparition like a ghost silently rose up from his body. As this happened, his danger instincts spiked as he woke up but he could do nothing, he was ced in a state of sleep paralysis.


    This Grade D Pugilist was powerless as a Psychic Possession started.


    In no time, his consciousness was wiped out, erased, and reced.


    A different consciousness took over the real Berserker''s.


    His eyes gleamed. "I seeded".

 Chapter 423 Rapid Growth; Berserker Version II

    Like the rolling pages of a book, time moved fast as preparations for the Cataclysm went on at full swing and in no time, it was already 4 months.


    Finally, it was time for the creation of Champion Onana''s passion project.


    Today, the secret mechanic base hidden in the desert waspletely locked down, only 6 individuals were allowed inside.


    Champion Onana, E, and John were inside the core of the mechanic workshop as all 3 Mechanics conditioned their minds for the important job.


    Champion Onana was psyched. "We already made it to this point, I believe we can go further, let''s finish it and get a perfect result".


    "We can do this!"


    It was like he suddenly became a motivational speaker.


    While all 3 of them psyched themselves up using their different techniques, isted from them through a screen, President Shanks and Army Commander Legs had their hands crossed as they watched what was going on.


    "If they''re sessful, this will be another monumental moment in our history". President Shanks smiled.


    "Yeah". Legs nodded. "I hope they are sessful; our survival may bank on it''s future performance in battle".


    President Shanks nodded as his face also turned serious.


    Apart from the both of them, thest person in this secret mechanic base was a familiar face, Captain Chan. Again, Champion Onana needed his services to properly enchant his new mechanic suit and give it magic abilities.


    Like the Mechanics, at this moment, Captain Chan was also using his iconic technique to psyche himself up to be in the right mood for his work.


    Blocked by another screen that isted him from the core of the mechanic workshop, in this room, he sat cross-legged and meditated.


    As he meditated, the arcane power around him became more concentrated.


    Inside the core of the mechanic workshop, after conditioning his mind for minutes, Champion Onana finally stood up as his eyes gleamed excitedly.


    "I am ready".


    The remaining 2 Mechanics also stood up at this moment.


    After crackling his knuckles, Champion Onana motioned with his hands at his surroundings as a virtual screen opened up the next moment. From the virtual screen, a 3D projection came out.


    The projection was that of a familiar small Racoon on sses.


    Champion Onana turned to look at John. "This is the virtual representation of Berserker''s A.I".


    "You already proved me right once, prove me right again".


    "Do your thing".


    John nodded confidently. After integrating the heart-shaped mechanical orb imnt to his heart, like Champion Onana promised, his growth for the past 4 months was rapid and just 3 weeks ago, he became a Grade C Virtual Mechanic.


    He was ready to upgrade Berserker''s A.I.


    He spread his arms and closed his eyes, then he let his maic energy spread.


    Bzzz!


    The wisps of electricity engulfed the virtual Racoon, gently squeezing it like the warm embrace of a fine babe''s soft boobs.


    Just a few secondster, John''s eyes glowed a pure white as he finally got a hold of the core code programmed into the make-up of the Racoon.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Code Fragmentation!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Virtual Programming Language!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Virtual Coding!"


    The next moment, a virtual keyboard appeared before him. With his eyes still glowing white, John''s hands went tik tak as he smashed keys in the keyboard, creating an entirely newplicated code from the fragments of the old code.


    For 40 minutes, John just kept on tapping away. He finally stopped on the 45th minute, by now, an entirely new A.I was already birthed for Berserker.


    Unlike his previous cute small Racoon form, the A.I transformed into a Giant War Tiger on golden armor, it now seemed ferocious and aggressive.


    John''s eyes gleamed in excitement and satisfaction. "This is the A.I befitting of the war machine we''re envisioning".


    He looked at Champion Onana. "I''m done".


    "Good". Champion Onana nodded as he took charge from there.


    On his control, a virtual projection popped to life.

    [Mech Assembling and Crafting Difficulty: Extreme!]


    ¡­


    Champion Onana ignored the difficulty rating of their mission as his eyes glowed with power and drive. "Let''s do this!"


    For the crafting, E finally took centerstage. Onana''s incredibly psyched state also extended to her as she became stoked in the Grade B Mechanic''s passion project, she put in her all as the crafting process started.


    For 11 grueling hours, they crafted the mechanic suit.


    At the 12th hour, all the mechanical assembling wasplete as Captain Chan finally came out of his isted chamber. This powerful Mage came out with powerful arcane power raging around him like a hurricane.


    Taking a hold of the Mithril Metal, he went to work. He gave his all into crafting his part of this mechanic suit, he spent 2 hours doing it.


    After these pivotal 2 hours, the mechanic suit apart from it''s normal maic energy started radiating arcane energy.


    The work¡­ was finally done!


    Instantly, Champion Onana''s Support A.I lit up with a virtual notification.


    [Congrattions! You have crafted a Mechanic Suit that already exceeded the normal levels of perfection!]


    [Congrattions! You have crafted a Masterwork Mech!]


    BZZZ!


    Berserker seemed to respond to this notification as it radiated power.


    "¡­" All the mechanics were shocked.


    "¡­" Captain Chan was shocked.


    "¡­.." Legs was even more shocked.

 Chapter 424 A Masterwork Mech

    "A Masterwork Mech?!" Legs was shocked into silence.


    What was a Masterwork Mech? It was a mechanic suit that already exceeded the normal levels of perfection that was possible for a highly skilled Mechanic.


    The chances of creating a Masterwork Mech were affected by a lot of parameters.


    The state of mind of the Mechanic creating the mech suit, his craftmanship skills, his focus and drive during the crafting process, everything affected the end result.


    All these parameters led to an end result that exceeded perfection.


    The mysteries behind it was still unknown to a lot of Mechanics but it wasmon knowledge in the gcticmunity that every Masterwork Mech became a masterpiece that was far stronger than it''s theorizedbat level.


    Exceeding perfection grants the Mech a qualitative boost.


    Legs could still remember from his previous life, after being exposed to it, a lot of Mechanic ss yers strived giving their all to create a Masterwork.


    All of them failed except one, the team Captain of the strongest American pro game club, the Legendary Deft Fingers.


    Even this legendary yer never seeded in crafting a Masterwork mech, instead what he seeded in was crafting a Masterwork Sniper Rifle.


    This powerful Masterwork Sniper Rifle enabled the Legendary Deft Finger''s rise to the peak, singlehandedly dragging his team to the top to win the International Dominator tournament in Version 3.


    Also, his Sniper Rifle enabled him to be a 2 time International Champion in the individual brackets, writing his name in history as a legend.


    Legs watched everything that happened from his office in the headquarters of the Nightmare Army through a virtual screen.


    He could not believe that they did it, he looked at the Mech that was still transforming before his eyes with shock.


    ''They did it!'' He thought.


    [Congrattions! You have crafted a Mechanic Suit that already exceeded the normal levels of perfection!]


    [Congrattions! You have crafted a Masterwork Mech!]


    [Mech Suit evolution taking ce¡­, please wait¡­]


    Champion Onana closed his eyes as he basked in the moment.


    At this moment, every single one of them that yed a role in crafting the incredible mech suit were experiencing different feelings.


    Champion Onana and E felt their attunement to craftsmanship increasing.


    John felt a lot ofplicated theories rting to virtual technology be easier for him toprehend, it was like he suddenly became more intelligent.


    As for Captain Chan, this Mage''s arcane power became more concentrated.


    If they had game interfaces at this moment, they would have received constant notifications of their experience points increasing at a rapid rate.


    This process continued till the transformation of the mech suit wasplete.


    [Mech Suit evolutionplete!]


    [Masterwork Evolution: Mech Suit''s overall stats andbat power have experienced a qualitative increase by 50%!]


    50% didn''t seem like much but considering how powerful the base form of this mechanic suit was, and how perfect it was already, an increase of 5% alone was already incredible. An increase of 50% was ridiculous.


    "We did it!" Champion Onana roared in ecstasy.


    Berserker Version 2 was finally born.


    Onana did not hold back, he dragged Captain Chan, John, and E into his tight embrace, this was his way of showing gratitude for their efforts.


    A few minutester, after getting over the ecstasy of their achievement, Champion Onana and E finally started tests on the base form of the mech suit.


    They were able to confirm the increase to the base stats of the mech suit.


    E turned to look at him. "To thoroughly understand how much changed, we need a live practice session, virtual testing can only change so much".


    On hearing that, Champion Onana''s eyes gleamed. "I am ready".


    He turned to face the ss wall where the President watched from. "Please, make it possible in the morning, I need to sleep to recover to my optimum state".


    President Shanks nodded before calling and giving orders.


    ¡­


    That morning, the desert became deserted.


    Under President Shanks'' authority, the 2 strongest war vessels of the alliance were summoned, both the Golden Cicada and the Legs Baron hovered in the air.


    They were to be the sparring partner of the new war mech suit.


    After enough preparation, Champion Onana finally entered the cockpit of the mech. Without hesitation, he booted his new mech.


    Instantly, he was bombarded with notifications.

    It finally flickered to life.


    ~BERSERKER II~


    [Wee back, Master.]


    [Orders?]


    Seeing these familiar words, Champion Onana grinned. "It''s nice to see you again too bro, I''ve missed you".


    E''s voice reverberated the next moment. "All systems cleared for use, you can pilot it now".


    Champion Onana finally sent the first neural order to his new mech.


    BOOM!


    Berserker''s energy systems erupted to life, inducing a loud sound as the power reactor of this mech suit finally became active.


    An opening was already made above this secret mechanic workshop.


    Before he left, Captain Chan said some words. "Champion, endeavor to use it''s magic abilities this time, I gave my all into enchanting them".


    "I will".


    Champion Onana''s grin widened. "Berserker, let''s go for a ride".


    Whoosh!


    The powerful mechanic suit''s flight systems sted out with power as it rapidly elerated out of the mechanic workshop at a rapid speed.


    Outside, the 2 Heavy Cruisers waited for him.<novelsnext>please visit </novelsnext>


    His eyes gleamed as he felt the challenge. "Compared to before, let''s so how much our power have grown".


    The next moment, the huge mech pulled out the familiar Transformable Rifle.


    "Rifle Transformation Ability: Positron Rifle!"


    "Special Berserker Ability: Overload!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Prime Resonance!"


    The mech aimed with the Positron Rifle before pulling the trigger, it''s first target was the bigger of both Heavy Cruisers, the Golden Cicada.


    BOOM!


    The st of positron elements moved through the air with venom.


    Having anticipated the strike, all 3 of the Golden Cicada''s stacked shields were erected but this time, the Heavy Cruiser experienced something different.


    The stpletely obliterated the first 2 defense shields before pushing the defense of thest shield generator to it''s very limits.


    Warning rms red inside the state-of-the-art Heavy Cruiser, it responded instantly. Under General Aztog''s orders, all the weapons of the Golden Cicada locked on their target as the next moment, they unleashed disaster.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    "Special Berserker Ability: Powell Endurance!"


    Champion Onana did not dodge, he took the attack head-on even as he retaliated. Since this spar was meant to push his new mech suit to the limits to know it''s true parameters, he had no qualms with pushing it''s systems this far.


    He let E''s specialty on the mech work to see how effective it was.


    The Powell Endurance ability proved to be crazily effective, despite the bombardment from all the weapons of a Heavy Cruiser, it was not destroyed immediately, buying more than enough time for Onana to retaliate.


    "Special Berserker Ability: Arcanite- Natural Resonance!"


    "Magic Ability: Absolute Domain!"


    "Magic Ability: Absolute Domain- Wear and Tear!"


    "Magic Ability: Dimensional st!"


    BZZZ!


    Arcane powered churned powerfully in the air.


    After his little warm-up, Champion Onana no longer held back.


    His eyes became filled with bloodlust. "Let''s rumble!"


    Even as his resonance with his mech suit increased, he was unable to pay attention to it because of the Absolute Domain. An azure manifestation of arcane power surrounded the mech, forming a formidable energy shield.


    In this domain, Champion Onana felt like he was invincible.


    That was not all, instantly after the Absolute Domain appeared, what seemed like a ck hole appeared in the air as a crack to a random hostile dimension opened.


    It was a strange dimension filled with rampaging aggressive green energy.


    The next moment the arcane power erupting from the mech suit dove into this dimension, harnessing the green energy and turning it into a massive energy st that was shot towards the Legs Baron who already joined the attack.


    BOOM!


    The attack was felt as the gigantic Heavy Cruiser jerked in the air.


    Champion Onana was not allowed to attack with impunity though, both Heavy Cruisers constantly roared with power, unleashing lethal shots as they wasted their powerful weapon armaments on the mechanic suit.


    The mech suit''s stacked defenses from the Absolute Domain provided it with an invible defense, Champion Onana was free to y with his attack power.


    One moment, the sound like a metal ricocheting off another metal reverberated as Champion Onana changed the magazine of his cutting-edge Shotgun.


    "Taste the power of Arcanite projectiles!"


    He pulled the trigger.


    BOOM!


    Each shot tore through the defense of both Heavy Cruisers.


    When he switched to the Guass Cannon, the damage was even more as the heavy physical impacts left depressions in the metal hulls of both Heavy Cruisers.


    It was when he changed to the OG-18 methrower that he finally started closing the distance, the extreme fire from this methrower devoured oxygen rampantly, creating a vacuum-like environment around the mech suit.


    On closing the distance though, Champion Onana''sbat style changed.


    Closing in on the Legs Baron, he pulled out the sma Sword of his mech suit before unleashing a powerful vertical sh as the Heavy Cruiser responded.


    Despite theyers of defense before it, the sma Sword''s red-hot edge cut through them like a hot knife through butter as it breached the hull of the Battleship. Yet, that was not all.


    From the knees of the mech suit, sma knives emerged.


    Heunched a knee attack the next moment as the sma knife cut through an entirely different region, dealing even more attack to the Heavy Cruiser.


    While the Legs Baron was harassed, the Golden Cicada attacked from a safe blind spot but at this moment, Champion Onana had no blind spots.


    A sharp turn and rapid eleration were all it took to catch the Golden Cicada off-guard. Before the powerful Heavy Cruiser could move it''s gigantic body and react, Onana already pulled out his new Cutting-Edge Arcanite War Axe.


    "Weapon Ability: Cosmic Beast yer!"


    BOOM¡­!!!


    The sound of collision was like exploding dominoes as itpletely obliterated all defenses of the Heavy Cruiser before leaving numerous damaged portions in it.


    For the next 30 minutes, while suffering asional damages here and there, Champion Onana made use of all his weapons as he thrashed both Heavy Cruisers. By the time that the spar was over, both were terribly damaged.


    Champion Onana grinned. "This is the power I''ve always been craving".


    He clenched his fists. ''Can I beat Delzebub now?''


    He didn''t know the answer to this question, but for now, something else was the priority. Without going to rest, Champion Onana led the way for both Heavy Cruisers as he rapidly elerated towards the skies.


    In no time, he escaped Darvis''s gravity.


    In space with asteroids floating everywhere, Champion Onana finally tried thest and strongest ability of his new mechanic suit.


    "Special Berserker Ability: Liberation- Berserk!"


    As maic energy exploded, all his weapons floated to his sides and on his control, all these lethal weapons were put into action.


    There was no sound in space but the impacts were explosively powerful.


    In 2 minutes, Champion Onana left a deep void in space.


    The test was finallyplete.

 Chapter 425 Rapid Growth; Operating Taming The Primordial Beasts! [1]

    "Are you satisfied?" E asked.


    Champion Onana remained silent as he basked in the moment.


    Since the mechanic suit was still in the Berserk state, the energy stored in the power reactor was constantly tapped on as maic energy kept on radiating around the mech suit, keeping all its weapon systems levitating.


    At this moment, all his senses were at a heightened state.


    He focused on all his levitating weapons.


    He focused on the Cutting-Edge Arcanite War Axe on his hands, then he finally focused on the destruction that he just caused in 2 minutes.


    He focused on the explosions, the evaporated space junk, the floating parts of the once intact asteroids in ce, this was all done by him.


    Inside the mech suit, he grinned.


    "I¡­ AM¡­ SATISFIED". If satisfaction was a person, his voice was it.


    Champion Onana did not return to Darvis immediately. Pushing even more power to Berserker''s flight systems, the mechanic suit started elerating deeper into space away from Darvis.


    Captain Enoch of the Legs Baron was surprised. "What is this?"


    General Aztog was more understanding. "What are your orders?"


    "Follow me, we need the Giant Nak Fortress now".


    Champion Onana felt a bit drained after the little test run with his new war vessel but for theing Cataclysm, tiredness was no excuse, he needed to give more than his absolute best if he wanted to survive.


    "Acknowledged".


    The next moment, General Aztog sent a message to the Nak fleet in Darvis before sending another message to Captain Enoch.


    Once Enoch, the Captain of the Legs Baron and also Commander of the Darvis fleet understood, he no longer hesitated, he also gave orders.


    Only a single Destroyer was left in Darvis in the case of an emergency.


    All the other Battleships elerated deep into space towards the location of a certain asteroid, the previous main base of the Nak Navy.


    A few minutester, they arrived.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Mech Amplification!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Prime Resonance!"


    "Special Berserker Ability: Suction Force!"


    The next moment, raw power from Berserker''s power reactor was converted into concentrated maic and gravitic energy. For the first time since this asteroid was locked in ce, its movement deviated out of its tiny orbit.


    This was another raw demonstration of the power of a Grade B Mechanic with an appropriate war machine thatplemented his abilities.


    As soon as the asteroid moved, all the Battleships made their moves as theyunched thick chains with harpoon edges to the asteroids.


    Using them as hooks, they assisted in pulling the gigantic asteroid.


    The Giant Nak Fortress was moved out of its orbit.


    For an hour, all the Battleships and Champion Onana''s Berserker gave their all pulling the Giant Nak Fortress before it finally arrived at its destination.


    The gigantic asteroid stopped just outside Darvis, at a safe range where it was not pulled into the gravity of the.


    While this happened, a certain Void Raven floated in space, watching everything that transpired here as a certain human looked through his eyes.


    ¡­


    Standing before the window in his special training chamber, Legs had his hands behind his back as he watched through Bran''s eyes.


    ''I really lucked out this time''. Legs heaved a sigh of relief.


    For the past 4 months, apart from joining in on the preparations, he also tried to adjust his future knowledge to all the changes that already came about.


    He was already sure by now that his actions triggered the ripple effects.


    ''My actions in thwarting the ns of the Clown Society resulted in Champion Onanaing. Hising resulted in awakening the Space Bugs, and now, I am stuck in the middle, I must fight the Space Bugs and win or die''.


    ''The Space Bugs were not part of the history in my previous life''.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    ''I don''t have any knowledge trump card to thwart them''.


    ''This time, we really need to break our limits''.


    ''Well, it is what it is''.


    He no longer paid attention to it, rather he paid attention to their preparations. Darvis was really in a frenzied mode for the past 4 months.


    Champion Onana and his mechanic crew were not the only hardworking ones, the whole was determined to survive the Cosmic Cataclysm.


    During this time, apart from his new mech suit, Onana and his crew already started constructing the new Heavy Cruiser. They were also already creating a proper defense mechanism to better defend against the Space Bugs.


    Multitasking was the only for them to cope with the ridiculous benchmark that they set for themselves in their preparations for the Cataclysm.


    While the mechanics did this, led by Vice President Lydia, tons of low-grade Psychics, Mages, and Mechanics were already born in Darvis.


    The time was too little for higher grade Supers of these sses to be born but considering the utility of these 3 sses and the versatility that they brought, despite they fact that they were still low grade, they were still important.


    While all these happened, the Grade C Superhumans did their individual preparations for the Cosmic Cataclysm. Legs was one of them.


    Apart from training like a maniac to try improving, he tried his very best to create the perfect conducive environment to grow his crop field which were the yers. He believed in the value of this costly investment.


    ''yers are sure investments; it will all pay in the end''.


    Apart from those, he also put his genius brain to work. Considering the caliber of enemy that they were about to face, if they were to survive, they needed to go far and beyond their normal limits.


    And considering the incredible sess that he enjoyed after taming and recruiting the services of the Guardian Komodo Dragon, he was thrilled.


    This motivated him into conceiving Operation Taming the Primordial Beasts.


    For the past 4 months, he spent his time studying thest 5 surviving Primordial Beasts from the apocalypse that ravaged Darvis long ago.


    When he first reincarnated, he didn''t know the truth but as he grew more powerful and recently after allying with the Nak Navy, he finally knew the full story.


    The beasts of the apocalypse didn''t overrun Darvis yet due to a reason. With Alexander''s betrayal and help, to not turn Darvis into a wild inhabited by rabid beasts, General Aztog manipted the Core.


    It was on his maniption that the core''s output changed, the mana in Darvis was no longer conducive for the strongest monster''s further growth. Instead, with more time spent in Darvis, they regressed.


    This change was aimed at the beasts of the apocalypse but its effects spilled to the humans inhabiting it.


    It yed a part in why no Superhuman had ever been able to breach the Grade B realm despite the incredible talents that had graced the.


    Now though, after allying with them, General Aztog changed the mechanism, returning the core to its'' normal healthy state.


    This didn''t just improve the potential of another Grade B Super emerging, it also improved the power of the target primordial beasts.


    Operation Taming the Primordial Beasts entails Legs'' n to tame all 5 Primordial Beasts, they needed the incredible army of beasts from the cataclysm to counter the tens of millions of iing Space Bugs.


    Legs'' cell rang.


    BEEP!


    "We''re in position!" A deep voice reverberated.


    "Good". Legs nodded. "I''m on my way".

    Bzzz!


    Legs rubbed Predator''s scales. "Buddy, it''s time for what you love best". He grinned. "It''s time for battle".


    "Absolute Zero is our first target!"


    Predator''s roar of excitement reverberated far and wide.


    The hunt began.

 Chapter 426 Rapid Growth; Operation Taming The Primordial Beasts! [2]

    "ROARRRR¡­!!!"


    A mighty roar reverberated from deep in the North followed by frost!


    It was like the instance of a frost apocalypse!


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The North turned into a disaster well as earthquakes and avnches ravaged everywhere even as the gigantic Frost Dragon kept on thrashing around.


    When the ho''s nest was poked, it came rampaging out.


    Legs'' operation involved 4 Summoners and a Pugilist. It was ambitious but he believed that they were up to the task, it was also a test to them to see how prepared they were for the Cosmic Cataclysm.


    Once they were in position, Legs indicated for the operation to kick off.


    Gorgon made the first move. Calling on his contracted beasts, the gigantic but slippery Frost Snake became the assassin that snuck into the ho''s nest to severely injure the monster that resided inside it.


    When the core changed, Absolute Zero felt it. After centuries of suffering from mana deficiency, the sudden change shocked him.


    Instantly, the paranoid Dragon felt threatened.


    After the stunt that Gorgon pulled 4 months ago, it was wary against shing against the humans any further. It did note out, it decided to remain hiding under the heap of snow but even here, the humans did not let it rest.


    One bite from the Frost Snake was able to inject tons of lethal poison into it''s bloodstream as the power of the Frost Dragon instantly decreased by 20%.


    The pain from the bite and poison fueled its paranoia.


    Angered, Absolute Zero charged out of itsir roaring loudly.


    This roar was no ordinary roar, it was something that Gorgon already warned them about. Absolute Zero was not foolish, having detected the hidden enemies already, it was intelligent enough to know that winning alone was ridiculous.


    Without hesitation, the Frost Dragon called on its army.


    "FILTHY HUMANS!" It roared then it breath frost energy!


    Gorgon was prepared for it, instantly after Absolute Zero breath frost, his contracted Mountain Toad appeared. This gigantic Toad that seemed like a mountain devoured the attack with its sheer body mass.


    The attack was effortlessly nullified.


    Legs gave orders. "Follow the n, beat it till weakness".


    He also made his move.

    Bzzz!


    As soon as a portal was opened to the Void Dimension, the rest was history as an army of over a million Void Beasts charged out through the portal.


    This was the culmination of Legs and Bran''s efforts in the Void Dimension for the past 5 years. Despite the sheer number of this army though, Bran was not the only one who came with one, Ak also came with one.


    As soon as Ak charged out of the beast ne, he was not alone, an army of wolves, golden eagles, and mutated bears charged after him.


    Ak led his beast army to war against the beasts in the North.


    Bran and Ak were not the only debutants though. Leading the elder Grade C Nightmare Beasts into battle, Predator felt his blood burn hot as he ignored every other enemy and charged straight at Absolute Zero.


    Directly behind him was Warp Prime in his Blood Vampire Form.


    This was still not all, there was Raegar, the Guardian Komodo Dragon also charging in as his aggressive and extremely powerful maic energy took effect.


    While all these beasts led the charge, with their own beasts, President Shanks and Christensen also joined in with their beasts. President Shanks didn''t care that he was the President, he was also fully invested in the war efforts.


    With Ak and Bran''s beast armies keeping the horde of beasts at bay, the others got the opportunity that they needed to attack Absolute Zero with impunity.


    The attacks from all the beasts overwhelmed Absolute Zero, this Frost Dragon was powerful but not so powerful to take on all of them at once.


    When overwhelmed, this was when de charged in.


    "Stones'' Specialty: Obliteration Fist!"


    BOOM!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    This time, the fist literally obliterated the life out of the Frost Dragon.


    The force was so powerful that for a brief moment, Absolute Zero went into shock. This was when Gorgon charged in personally and did his thing.


    "Gorgon Specialty: Genjutsu Eyes!"


    "Gorgon Specialty: Illusory Beast Taming!"


    "Gorgon Specialty: Target- Absolute Zero!"


    At this close proximity, it worked like a charm.


    Gorgon''s eyes turned white the next moment as he took control over the body of the gigantic Frost Dragon, this was also when Legs made his move.


    He swooshed down from the skies still fused with Bran.


    Instantly after he touched the Dragon, he did his thing.

    ----


    Absolute Zero''s eyes finally snapped open again, he only struggled for a moment then the next, his eyes became subservient to Legs.


    "Perfecto". Legsmented.


    The n was executed to perfection and it went exactly as he envisioned.


    By devising roles depending on the specialty and strongest points of all the participants of this hunt, he was able to achieve peak efficiency.


    By using his army of beasts to hinder the beasts summoned by Absolute Zero, he let the others focus on attacking to weaken Absolute Zero. After which de jumped in to deal the dpidating blow, his punch was powerful enough.


    Instantly after Absolute Zero was briefly knocked unconscious, his resistance against a mental invasion decreased to the lowest grade possible.


    This was what guaranteed Gorgon''s smooth mental infiltration.


    And after the mental infiltration, the mental defenses of the Frost Dragon degraded even more. As a Grandmaster Beast Tamer, Legs by far had the greatest skills in taming a beast.


    If his sess rate was 90% before, with all these parameters added together, the sess percentage increased to 100%.


    The end result? It went exactly as he nned.


    A mighty Primordial Beast like Absolute Zero was tamed in mere minutes.


    Now the sess rate of taming the 2nd Primordial Beast just increased by a mighty margin of 30%, Legs'' eyes gleamed.


    "To the next target in the East, Dragat, the Kraken of the Blue Sea".


    A few hourster, the next battle caused an even greatermotion.


    It was like the Sea was experiencing a natural disaster.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Another fact that aided their cause in the unfamiliar confines of the sea was the presence of a certain friend of Legs'', Kiddo the Chefron.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    With the help from the others, Kiddo was able to use his incredible speed to dominate the battle with the Kraken from beginning to the end.


    Of course, Legs used the same strategy with Bran and Kraken to keep all the sea beasts summoned by the Kraken at bay till he finally tamed it.


    By the time that he tamed it, it was already night, the battle was intense.


    They rested for a few hours before continuing their conquest.


    That night, they fought Muckga, the Night Worm of the South. The whole Desert almost turned on itself before they were finally able to subdue this gigantic Sand Worm who operated only at night.


    After taming this primordial monster, they rested for one full day before finally going for the next Primordial Beast, the me Lion of the West.


    The endurance and aggressiveness of this beast was simply off the charts, they fought the powerful Lion for a full day before finally subduing it.


    As for thest of the primordial monsters of the Apocalypse, Hektra, the Spechter of the skies, Legs sought the cooperation of a Destroyer just to force this beast from its hideout in the skies.


    The battle this time was bloody, President Shanks and Christensen were left injured and after a long grueling battle without much sess, it required the casual entrance of Lucky and her gang to turn the tides around.


    The taming process was sessful.


    Wiping blood away from his mouth, Legs grinned.


    "That''s one trump card acquired".

 Chapter 427 Rapid Growth; Planetary Defense System!

    "How does it feel to have so much power at the tip of your fingers?" President Shanks asked as he looked at him.


    Legs didn''t look at the President, he just smiled. "I''m not gonna lie, after taming all these powerful beasts in recent times, I feel on top of the world".


    "It''s funny but I feel invincible".


    "The only fact keeping me grounded in reality is Champion Onana''s presence, seeing him reminds me that I still have a long road ahead".


    President Shanks nodded without saying a word, they watched the Mechanics engross themselves in their work, fully focused.


    Just a few days ago, with the help of the Landmark Construction Company and Champion Onana, they seeded in building the very firstary defensemand base in Darvis.


    While working on Berserker Version 2, Champion Onana and his 2 assistants also put effort into the other objectives that they set for themselves.


    During this time, using the incredible Mechanic knowledge that they already learned ahead of time, they were able to create lots of turrets and otherary defense weapons across the.


    He didn''t activate them because he was still not done yet.


    The main reason why they didn''t stop at that was that Champion Onana had a vastly greater vision for the newary defense system of Darvis.


    He intended to create a highly practical butplicatedary defense setup that would grant them much more protection against theing cataclysm.


    And this new base was created to be the headquarters of the defensework where orders would be broken down and transmitted.


    This defense system was not in istion just to Darvis. After dragging the Giant Nak Fortress here about a month ago, Champion Onana started his ambitious n of connecting everything together through a virtual server.


    John was in charge of creating the virtual server.


    Inside this base, John''s fingers controlled different virtual projections as he focused on the screen.


    "I''m ready". He said after cracking his fingers.


    "Take a deep breath then start".


    John obeyed the Nak Champion.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Virtual Programming Language!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Virtual Coding!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Virtual Networking!"


    John''s fingers rapidly tapped away at the virtual keyboard.


    After abandoning his home to run here, John no longer had an escape n to run back to, the oue of the Cataclysm now affected him. This was why he started feeling the threat of the Cataclysm more than ever before.


    The pressure from that suffocating feeling of impending death pushed him to give his all, now his skills were far higher than his previous peak.


    His Virtual Mechanic skills were now far better than before.


    While he did the virtual aspects, Champion Onana and E made sure that the physical and mechanical aspects of this set-up remained intact.


    The Support A.I of this new base materialized.


    [Program Codepleted!]


    [Running code¡­, please wait¡­]


    [Sessful!]


    HUM!


    The huge engine in the middle of this base housing the Battleship-grade power reactor from Legs finally came to life with a powerful sound.


    [Commencing War Networkpartmentalization¡­]


    [Aligning weapon frequencies¡­]


    [High Frequency Virtual Server Created Sessfully!]


    [Server Name: Warlord!]


    John finally opened his eyes as they shone with rity and joy. Sweat filled his body, it was like he just ran a marathon but he did not feel the tiredness.


    John turned to look at Champion Onana like a kid looking up to his father for praise after achieving a praise-worthy achievement.


    He grinned. "The Warlord Server reporting for service".


    Champion Onana also grinned. "Well-done".


    The next moment, when Army Commander Legs and President Shanks watched from the see-through ss, Champion Onana went closer to the gigantic server machine before finally powering it up.


    It''s booting sound was muffled but powerful.


    The gigantic screen of the machine finally lit up with light.


    [Server ''Warlord'' booted sessfully!]

    "Sess!" Champion Onana threw a fist up in celebration.


    His celebration didn''t fit his personality but he didn''t care. For a long time, despite learning the Cutting-Edge ss knowledge already, Onana had never been able to put it to use in a practical way.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    During the preparations, he vowed to make use of it to increase their survival chances and after help and some insights learned from E''s work, he finally seeded in breaking his limits and utilizing the power of Quantum Mechanics.


    He grinned. ''Deciding to surrender then was definitely the right decision''.


    ''That feeling of satisfaction when you improve, there''s no feeling like it''.


    ''I''m obsessed with it!''


    ''I wonder if I can utilize it in Berserker in the future. If I do, will I finally be able to beat Delzebub then?''


    The grin on his face almost seemed spooky due to his cyborg face and his red and blue eyes, the only reason why the others didn''t freak out was because they were used to it after working with him for such a long time.


    "Champion, what are your orders?" General Aztog''s voice reverberated.


    "Commence the test now!" He answered.


    The next moment, in space, the Roman Rider and the only Battle Cruiser of the Nak fleet targeted the floating asteroids in this region of space as using special technologies, they directed them to float towards Darvis.


    Once they were caught by Darvis''s gravity, they were attracted.


    Whoosh!


    Inside the, looking up, you would notice gigantic red-hot objects dropping down from the skies with outstanding force after being affected by the gravity of the as they seemed set to unleash a lot of destruction.


    As the citizens of the panicked, this was when Champion Onana gave the orders as a smirk crept across the corner of his mouth.


    "Activate weapon systems". Hemanded.


    [Order Acknowledged!]


    ary Defense Weapon Systems activated!]


    "Target all asteroids!" Hemanded.


    [Order Acknowledged!]


    [Asteroids targeted!]


    [Target locked!]


    "Eliminate!"


    The reply to his order was instant.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Vibrations spread across the surface of Darvis as a whole as over 200,000 war turrets locked on the asteroids and unleashed their shots.


    The shots swept across and created a huge hole in space.


    None of the asteroids survived the bombardment.


    In seconds, ashes started falling from the skies like rain.


    All the citizens in Darvis were stunned. One moment, gigantic metal objects were falling from the skies and now the next moment, they turned to ash.


    ''What¡­, is going on?''


    No one answered them.


    Inside the hidden base, Champion Onana grinned then he ordered. "Again".


    General Aztog repeated the sequence as even more gigantic asteroids were pushed into the gravity pull of the.


    This time, Champion Onana''s face finally turned serious.


    "Trigger Ultimate Defense!"

    [Triggering reaction in the Giant Nak Fortress¡­]


    [Sequence Activated!]


    [Arcanite Hull harnessing Darvis'' gravity!]


    BOOM!


    During this moment, every individual in Darvis felt his mass turn lighter as the gravity of Darvis was harnessed and borrowed.


    [Arcanite Hull triggering Maic Resonance!]


    [Maic Resonance Triggered!]


    [Fusion of Gravitic and Maic Energies Achieved!]


    [Ultimate Defense Established!]


    While all the spectators watched, the gigantic asteroids that were dragged by the Battleships elerated towards Darvis. But just before these asteroids could enter Darvis'' atmosphere, they met a resistance.


    This resistance formed from the incredible and delicate fusion of maic and gravitic energies took effect, the gigantic asteroids were ground to dust.


    None of them could reduce the crushing force.


    It was as effortless as a human squashing an ant.


    Seeing the results, Champion Onana spread both his hands, threw his head back before roaring withughter. "Muahahaha¡­!"


    "I did it!"


    "This is my Ultimate Defense!"

 Chapter 428 A Trip To The Giant Nak Fortress

    "I did it!"


    "This is my Ultimate Defense!"


    "¡­" While Champion Onana celebrated the feat and Legs was amazed by what he saw, President Shanks was instead left emotional by what he saw.


    "Compared to years ago¡­, we''ve reallye a long way".


    E and John also felt a great sense of satisfaction.


    Perhaps, Konot IV and others that they knew from their home Star Systems hadary defense systems that were far more powerful and sophisticated than what they created but all that didn''t matter.


    This was because those powerfulary defense systems were created by teams of high-grade Mechanics where E''s father could only be an assistant.


    The difference was that they created this one themselves.


    The sense of satisfaction was miles apart.


    Champion Onana did not let them bask in this moment for too long though, he recovered not long after and interrupted them. "We need to leave".


    He looked straight at Army Commander Legs and President Shanks. "It''s time for you both to see the work that we did in the Giant Nak Fortress".


    None of these 2 influential men in Darvis objected.


    A few minutester, Berserker and 2 Destroyers lifted off from the.


    Inside one of the Destroyers was a yer, Horny Assassin was giddy, this yer was having the moment of his life.


    He did not just record himself, at this moment, he was spamming the global yer forum with messages that could ignite a nuclear war among the yers.


    After his incredible work advertising for Legs years ago when he and his students still worked as mercenaries in the era of the Clown Society, Legs finally rewarded his efforts by making him the first yer to ride on a Battleship.


    >Horny Assassin- Manchester f*cking United<


    >Horny Assassin- Listen to the voice of greatness Darvis mother*ckers!<


    >Horny Assassin- Blue Brook Guild to the world man! First yer in Darvis to ride on a Destroyer!<


    >Horny Assassin- This is a sign; our pro team is winning the next National tournament and we may even go all the way to win the International tournament<


    >Horny Assassin- F*ck it man! Holy Sh*t! I can''t keep my cool, woohoo! I''m f*cking riding a Battleship right now guys!<


    >Horny Assassin- I want to scream so bad but they may pursue me lol<


    >Horny Assassin- Woohoo! Manchester f*cking United!<


    >Horny Assassin- [Screenshot]<


    >Horny Assassin- [Screenshot]<


    >Horny Assassin- [Video]<


    >Horny Assassin- Caption- You can''t dull my sparkle, forever Legs''s sidekick [cool face emoji] <


    BOOM!


    A war instantly erupted in the global yer forum.


    >Horny Doctor is typing¡­<


    >Multiple yers are typing¡­<


    Horny Assassin grinned cheekily on seeing what he caused.


    Seeing the war that erupted in the global forum, Legs smiled. ''I really need to advertise the Cosmic Cataclysm; I need to make Dominator even more popr so more yers cane to increase my crop field''.


    ''I need their experience points to grow stronger''.


    ''I doubt it''ll happen but like Onana said, we really need more Grade B Superhumans. Can they spend enough experience points to take me over?''


    ''I shouldn''t think too much about it, I should just let everything flow''.


    After taking his mind off it, Legs focused back as both Destroyers soon escaped Darvis'' gravity. Instantly after they entered space, the first thing that entered the sight of the Battleship was the humongous asteroid.


    The Giant Nak Fortress was huge, it was like a massive cloud of ck metal hovering directly above Darvis in Space.


    Champion Onananded on the surface first on his mechanic suit.


    Once both Destroyersnded on the protective bubble that was already erected, they finally came out of the Destroyer. Despite the fact that the asteroid was huge, it was still far smaller than a typical.


    It didn''t have an atmosphere of its own, it was simply a giant object floating in space and therefore they all needed protection to step on it.


    Only Grade A Supers and above could freely move in space without dying, of course apart from beasts with special bloodlines like Bran.


    Their first visit to the Giant Nak Fortress was a tour.


    Apanied by de and Horny Assassin who already turned into bosom buddies, Champion Onana led President Shanks and Army Commander Legs on the tour around the first line of defense of Darvis.


    "Over the past 5 months, we worked our asses off harvesting Arcanite metal. The whole asteroid is coated with a hull made from Arcanite metal".


    "This makes it''s defense tight and dogged against hording attacks".


    "Also, through your connections that you never speak of, you were able to get us multiple Battleship-grade shield generators. The bulk of them were all installed on the Giant Nak Fortress, it is a real defensive fortress".


    Legs nodded, getting such expensive and high-end gadgets were entirely due to his gray world gathering and his rtionship with Edgar of Austere.


    The rogue hunter became his plug for high-end goods and gadgets.


    Over the years, Edgar was already building a reputation for himself as a rogue hunter in his which also built his influence and connections.


    The tour continued.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "This is the weaponsmand chamber in the fortress".


    Entering inside here, they were exposed to a lot of high-end mechanic stuffs. This single chamber had ess to all the sophisticated weapons of this gigantic fortress that Champion Onana had given his all to develop.


    From attack, to defense, to endurance, the Giant Nak Fortress had it all.


    It was the perfect fortress and first line of defense that Darvis could ever ask for. Again, President Shanks was left emotional.


    He looked at Champion Onana.


    "Thank you". He said in a serious tone.


    "If you didn''t surrender then, I wonder what we would have done when met with this disaster that could easily wipe all traces of us from history".


    Champion Onana only smiled. "Let me take you to meet the Commander of the base, he is one of General Aztog''s personally trained students".


    "General Aztog''s student?" Legs was surprised.


    "Yes". Champion Onana smiled. "Don''t underestimate him, he is only a Grade D warrior but hismand abilities inrge scale wars is top tier".


    While all these happened, a fascinated and overly excited Horny Assassin kept on recording and throwing bombastic videos in the global yer forum, inducing an even greater storm that was slowly turning into a disaster.


    A few minutester, a young Nak warrior met them.


    With a stern militaristic look on his face, he bowed respectfully. "Wee to the Giant Nak Fortress, Champion Onana".


    "Wee, President Shanks".


    "Wee, Army Commander Legs".


    "It''s nice to meet you, my name is Commander Fong".


    Legs and President Shanks observed the young Nak Commander.


    President Shanks finally spoke. "It''s nice to meet you Commander Fong, thank you for your work in the base so far".


    "It''s nothing, Mr. President". He smiled humbly.

    Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous!


    "¡­"


    Horny Assassin froze in shock.


    "R-Red-named NPC¡­?!" He mumbled in shock.


    Legs with a smile was also about to exchange greetings with the young Nak Commander when he picked up the unusual reaction from Horny Assassin, he paused as he turned to look at the yer.


    "What did you say?"


    "¡­"


    Receiving attention from the Army Commander, Horny Assassin froze even more, he was experiencing a crazy mixture of different emotions right now.


    A lot of things went through his mind.


    ''A Red-named NPC? What the hell is he doing here?''


    ''I thought this is supposed to be the first line of defense?''


    ''Is the game interface glitching?''


    ''If it''s true? How do I make the Army Commander understand?''


    In his dilemma and as the Army Commander looked at him, confused, Horny Assassin instead decided to do what he was best at.


    He dropped the bomb in the global yer forum.


    >Horny Assassin- Guys! Something is wrong, what the heck is a Red-named NPC doing in the first line of defense of Darvis against the invaders?!<


    Legs saw it instantly after the message appeared, his eyes gleamed.


    When he turned to look at the young Nak Commander, his eyes narrowed.


    The others noticed the change but it was already toote.

 Chapter 429 Compromised; A Mole!

    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    ----


    BOOM!


    Legs lunged forward for a drop kick straight at the face while suppressing his Summoner energy to prevent the warrior from dying from one attack.


    It happened in the blink of an eye.


    When the others barely noticed the change in the atmosphere, Legs was already on the young Nak Commander. He was so fast that he left afterimages behind as he aimed directly at the head of the Nak Commander.


    Despite Legs'' incredible speed, the talented Nak Commander was able to barely react as he raised his hand to block.


    "¡­" Legs'' eyes narrowed even further at this.


    At thest moment, he changed his stance mid-air, changing it to a slice down kick as his legnded on the young Nak Commander''s head with force.


    Bam!


    He was mmed to the floor as he coughed blood.


    "Ugh¡­" He groaned in pain as he turned to re at Legs.


    Legs did not let him rest, he punched him on the face, forcing even more blood out as he grabbed him with his right hand on the neck, pinning him to the ground as he looked deep into his eyes.


    "Who are you?" Legs'' voice was deep and intimidating.


    "What is the meaning of this?" The young Nak Commander screamed.


    Champion Onana rxed his tense nerves a bit on seeing this but he turned to face President Shanks. "Mr. President, what is the meaning of this?"


    "I hope you have a good exnation for this".


    Also stunned by everything, President Shanks looked at Legs.


    Before doing anything else, Legs paused and turned to face both warriors. "I''m not sure what is wrong but I''m positive that something is wrong".


    "With my warrior?" Onana''s voice rose up a crescendo, it was clear that his pride as a Nak warrior felt hurt by Legs'' actions.


    Legs did not take his eyes off the Champion even as the young Commander kept on struggling under his tight grasp.


    As he looked at the scowling face of the Nak Champion, a headache wasing but on the spot, he came up with a perfect exnation.


    He looked into Champion Onana''s eyes,pletely sure that this was the only person that could stop him here if he couldn''t convince him.


    "Unveiling the secrets of the Clown Society was not a fluke". He paused for emphasis. "Outsmarting Alexander was no fluke either".


    "Defeating you and General Aztog despite the odds was also no fluke, I have an established process which I follow and I have evidence and results to back it up".


    "Prophesy is not my only powers; it is not an omniscient power".


    Seeing that Champion Onana still seemed unconvinced, he took it a step further. "You are currently being held back by your racial emotions".


    "If you were neutral, you would have noticed the irregrities already".


    "No matter how weak a Summoner is, I am still a Grade C Superhuman. When I attacked him the first time, I did it with my full physical power but if you noticed, despite his eyes not being able to follow my movements, he was still able to react".


    "This is not instincts; I think something influenced him".


    "You may be right, he may be Commander Fong but at this moment, I''m 100% certain that something is wrong with him and I need to know the truth".


    "¡­" Champion Onana looked at Legs while different things went through his mind, clearly, he also discovered the logic in this reasoning.


    The only problem at this moment was still his emotions.


    He looked at the young Nak Commander without saying a word.


    "Do you know what I need from you right now?" Legs asked.


    Champion Onana rxed but he still frowned. "No".


    "Your trust".


    Legs turned back as he instantly equipped both Enchanted daggers in his inventory, the mes of ndel and the Frost Bane.


    The young Nak Commander was shocked. "Noooo¡­!!!"


    "Help me!"


    With a single kick from him, this warrior wasunched at the nearby wall as all his bones were almost dislocated from the force of the kick.


    All the Nak warriors in this room were shocked as they fidgeted, but since Champion Onana said nothing, none of them dared to act.


    "Who are you?!" Legs roared as he took a step closer while flexing both daggers that were in his hands, exposing his intent to make use of them.


    "I know you''re not Commander Fong!"


    "Show yourself or I''ll kill you both to get the truth!"


    Commander Fong shook in anger and slight fear. "Stop this!"


    "What is the meaning of this?!"


    "I did nothing wrong!"


    "Champion, this is a ploy of the humans to undermine our authority after we survive the Cataclysm! They hate that I''m the Commander of the Giant Nak Fortress, they want a human to be in charge!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Champion, don''t let the humans win!"


    "Kill them!"


    "Kill them while it''s not toote, we can still conquer Darvis!"


    Champion Onana frowned as he looked at this warrior.


    Legs chuckled. "Hehe¡­, desperation".


    Champion Onana shook his head in disappointment and slight grief the next moment. "I didn''t want to believe it but Legs is right".


    "Fong¡­" He paused for a few seconds as he looked at this young Nak warrior. "This is not you, you seem like a different person".


    "The Fong I know will never say things like this".


    "I know Fong".


    "You are not Fong!" His voice turned deep and hostile, his eyes turned cold as Commander Fong''s heart skipped a beat.


    Outside, Berserker geared to life, this Champion was ready for a fight.


    Commander Fong''s eyes widened. "This is a n by the humans to divide us, can''t you see it? See through their ploys!"


    Champion Onana''s eyes gleamed. "Legs, do what you have to do".


    "With pleasure". Legs licked his lips like a bloodthirsty demon.


    Commander Fong felt the pressure as he shuddered.


    "Yourst chance¡­" Legs grinned. "Who are you?"


    Whoosh!


    He charged forward.


    "Who are you?!"


    "No one!"


    Bam!


    Legs was ruthless, he stabbed both daggers into the chest of this warrior as he groaned in agony. While writhing in pain, Legs asked again but still not getting a positive answer, he decided to go for the worst case scenario.


    Legs pushed the daggers straight towards his heart.


    Champion Onana''s eyes twitched at the sight. "Stop¡­"


    He paused.


    At thatst moment before the daggers stabbed the Nak warrior''s heart, Commander Fong jerked as a powerful force dragged him backwards.


    ''Psychic energy!''


    Champion Onana''s eyes narrowed in rm as he instantly recognized the energy in use. ''Who''s the enemy?''


    Instantly after Commander Fong jerked backwards, narrowly dodging the killing blow from Legs, an invisible existence separated from his body.


    No one saw this, not even Legs, only Onana saw it.


    His eyes glowed with fury as he roared. "A Psychic Specter!"


    BOOM!


    His mechanic suit arrived here instantly as he equipped it.


    ~BERSERKER~


    [Wee back Master!]


    [Orders?]


    "Override the highest authority of the Giant Nak Fortress".


    The mechanic suit moved into action even as the Specter tried to escape, it took less than a second for it to override the programming of this war fortress, instantly making Champion Onana the most authoritative Commander.


    "Activate base-wide infrared focus!"


    Bzzz!


    From the Giant Nak Fortress, a blue light spread forth as infrared focused on all parts of the base. Instantly, the Specter no longer remained invisible.


    Legs and the others finally saw it and they also felt it''s energy.


    They were shocked.


    "A Grade B Specter!"


    "SCREEECH¡­!!!"


    -----


    You have been attacked by a Psychic Specter of the Bug Conqueror¡­

    Legs'' eyes widened in rm. "What?!"

 Chapter 430 Battle Against The Psychic Specter!

    -----


    You have been attacked by a Psychic Specter of the Bug Conqueror!


    You have been affected by a Psychic Ability: Telekinesis Push!


    ----


    "What?" Legs was shocked.


    BOOM!


    The powerful force of telekinesis pushed against everyone in this chamber of the Giant Nak Fortress, all of them suffered damage of various degrees.


    The metal walls of this chamber creaked from the force.


    Some of the weaker Nak warriors in this chamber died.


    Of course, Horny Assassin could not survive it, he was obliterated.


    Only Champion Onana suffered a minor push from the power of telekinesis as with glowing eyes, all the sensors of his mechanic suit focused on the Specter.


    His maic energy erupted the next moment as he resonated with his mechanic suit, then from a hidden port, his Transformable Rifle slipped out.


    In the process of aiming, the Psychic Specter attacked again.


    "SCREECH¡­!!!"

    ----


    "Ugh¡­" Legs grabbed his head as he copsed on the ground.


    He felt his head ringing like he was just a victim of a bomb st.


    He felt dizzy but he forced himself to look through it all. Squinting his eyes, he saw a scene of carnage in this once serene chamber.


    More than half of the Nak warriors present were already dead.


    The only reason why the others didn''t die was because of President Shanks. Having reacted on time, President Shanks already called on his contracted beasts as he formed a protective bubble around the remaining Nak warriors.


    Boom! Boom!


    Legs could hear echoes.


    Looking ahead, Legs through all the haze was able to see the Psychic Specter still in the process of struggling to escape this asteroid.


    Having locked down this part of the Giant Nak Fortress with his maic energy already, Champion Onana was able to temporarily trap the Specter even as they both shed fiercely, destroying everything in their surroundings.


    ''He won''tst''. Legs easily deduced the situation.


    Champion Onana had the Specter trapped but this won''tst, this was because he could not sustain his maic cage against such a powerful enemy.


    ''I need to help''.


    Legs bit his lips the next moment as blood flowed.


    The flowing blood stimted his senses, his eyes glowed red as energy flooded back into his body. Without hesitation, he acted.

    "Lock down this asteroid!" Legs roared at his beasts.


    Bran and Ak immediately went to work as calling on their armies, they charged out of the Void Dimension and the Beast ne through the portals that they opened as they flooded the Giant Nak Fortress from all sides.


    Fused with Predator, Legs radiated an aggressive aura but he didn''t jump in yet as he turned to look at President Shanks.


    "Keep Commander Fong alive, we need to get to the bottom of this".


    Without hesitation, he finally charged into battle.

    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Predator entered an incredibly battle heightened state, and his emotions spilled to his master who was fused with him as Legs turned rabid.


    He literally activated all the abilities of his contracted beast.


    With Onana taking care of the Specter from the front, it was unable to anticipate nor dodge Legs'' incredible back attack.


    BOOM!


    Normal attacks could not affect Specters but thankfully, Predator had an abundance of darkness energy that was exceedingly lethal towards them.


    "SCREECH¡­!!!" It shrieked loudly in pain.


    As soon as the Specter shrieked, Champion Onana upped his game as he no longer focused so much on keeping it trapped here after getting help.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Their attacks hit like sledgehammers shattering rocks.


    The Specter struggled for a few seconds but the damage was too much, it''s ethereal body continually wobbled until it could no longer maintain this form.


    It was forced back into its original form.


    Bzzz!


    The Psychic Specter turned into the apparition of a gigantic Space Bug.


    Champion Onana recognized this Space Bug, his eyes widened in shock and rm. "The Bug Conqueror!"


    "We can''t let it escape!"


    "Special Berserker Ability: Liberation- Berserk!"


    BOOM!


    Berserker exploded with power as Champion Onana piloted it.


    Taking control over all the weapons of his mech suit with his maic energy, Champion Onana took the lead as heunched lethal attacks at the apparition who kept on shrieking.


    Despite the lethal attacks, after giving it''s all, it managed to slip away.


    "It''s escaping!"


    "Focus on it!"


    All the Battleships geared to life as soon as the apparition charged outside. With infrared lights focused on it, it had nowhere to hide.


    Boom! Boom!


    Attacks from the Battleships wereunched at the escaping specter.


    This was still not all, Champion Onana and Legion went in pursuit.

    ----


    Legs was stubborn, he followed both powerhouses into Space.


    He and Champion Onana were determined to not let the Specter escape. In space, they spammed attacks at it, trapping it in an even bigger prison.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    There was no sound in space but the collisions of their attacks were powerful as explosions followed some even as Onana kept up in his berserk state.


    He pushed his mechanic suit to attack even more.


    As for Legs, he remained the support, flying around with incredible speed as he harassed the Specter, giving spaces for Champion Onana to attack.


    For 2 minutes, this battle raged right in time for all the Battleships in the Giant Nak Fortress to arrive. Once they arrived, the Specter lost all it''s escape options. Surrounded from all sides, it received attacks ruthlessly.


    They relentlessly attacked it.


    "SCREECH!"


    "SCREEEECH!!!"


    "SCREEECH¡­!!!"


    The Grade B Psychic Specter shrieked till death.


    Instantly after it died, as the Battleships worked to secure it''s ethereal elements, Champion Onana and Legs returned to the.


    They soon stood before the dying Commander Fong.


    Lying in a pool of his own blood, this Commander''s voice stammered as tears flowed down his eyes. "C-Champion¡­"


    Champion Onana held his hands and squeezed it.


    "Tell me what happened.


    He coughed blood. "I¡­"

 Chapter 431 Tension!

    "Tell me what happened". Champion Onana demanded in a gentle tone even as he held the Nak Commander''s hands andforted him.


    Commander Fong coughed blood.


    "It came about 3 weeks ago¡­" He coughed.


    "I didn''t even detect its presence until I was already possessed".


    Tears flowed from his eyes as he looked at the Nak Champion. "It''s the Psychic Possession, my life was lost the day that I let myself be possessed".


    "It happened in the night; I could only struggle without any sess".


    "After taking over my body, my soul became nothing more than a prisoner stuck in my own body. It took over control of my body, I could only watch helplessly as the enemy became the Commander of our first line of defense".


    "Cough¡­" Commander Fong coughed violently as his life slowly slipped away out of his grasp, his breath became rapid.


    Champion Onana grabbed his hands tighter. "Don''t die on me now".


    "Give me any clues, anything that you were able to know".


    "Is it the only Psychic Specter that was sent?"


    "Are there others?"


    "Do you know any other victims like you?"


    "Cough¡­" Commander Fong coughed violently again, veins popped across his neck, it was like he was fighting against death itself.


    "I was able to read a bit of it''s memories through brute force".


    "It-it¡­" He coughed again.


    "It arrived in Darvis beforeing here".


    "Cough¡­!"


    "I think #$%^*@ is also a victim".


    "Who?"


    "¡­"


    Commander Fong stiffened.

    Legs furrowed his brows as he looked at the dead body of the young once promising Commander of the Nak Navy.


    He felt troubled but he knew what he had to do at this moment.


    He tapped Champion Onana. "He''s dead".


    "I know". The Champion said in a cold tone, then he raised his head to look at Legs. "Do you think there are other affected?"


    "I don''t think, I know".


    Champion Onana stood up. "By the way, how were you able to detect that something was wrong? I''m curious, if I''m not wrong, it seems it''s one of those immortals that followed you that detected it first".


    "I''ve always thought that they were strange and fascinating".


    "What are they, really?"


    Legs forced a smile. "One day, perhaps, if our friendship bes close enough, I''ll tell you all my secrets including this one".


    "As for now though, we need to search for more infected".


    "Also, send a message to General Aztog in Darvis so they can make countermeasures. At this point, we need to assume that our ranks have already beenpromised, we need to prepare for the worst-case scenario".


    Legs had a grave look on his face. "The Cosmic Cataclysm just took a whole different turn with this discovery; I fear for our future".<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Let Horny Assassin follow you; he can detect if anyone is infected".


    "With him, search one part of the Giant Nak Fortress".


    "I''ll search the other part".


    At this point, Legs already knew why he didn''t discover the anomaly immediately. Compared to a yer like Horny Assassin, due to having assimted to Darvis for so long, he no longer saw this world as just a game.


    This was why he viewed everyone as real. The only times when he deemed to use his game interface was to check notifications mostly.


    Unlike him though, the life of the yers was entirely through the lens of the game interface. They were so used to it that everything that they did was through it, this was why Horny Assassin detected the red-named NPC immediately.


    It was like a WhatsApp group. When left for a long time, it will automatically be muted until the user decides to finally unmutes it.


    It was only now that Legs unmuted it that he could see the names hovering above everyone, indicating if they were yers or NPCs and if they were enemies or not. This just also thought him a lesson.


    ''I should never let down my guard, everyone can be an enemy''.


    In no time, he and Champion Onana went on a sweeping raid across the Giant Nak Fortress. They would not rest at peace until they confirmed that there was no more mole of the enemy hidden in their base.


    While all these happened, President Shanks through Champion Onana was already made the new Commander of the Giant Nak Fortress.


    With his new authority, he monitored everywhere around the asteroid, making sure that nobody was able to suddenly escape unnoticed.


    Also, he kept the infrared focus on to detect any Psychic Specter.


    He also kept tabs with Ak and Bran. Both beasts were responsible for blocking off all routes out of the with their beast army.


    During the period of this sweep to detect any hidden enemies, the atmosphere in the Giant Nak Fortress was tense as every warrior stood on edge.


    An unknown enemy was always the most dangerous.


    What of theirrade of years already became a spy of the enemy?


    What of their spouse already became possessed by the enemy Psychic?


    What if their superior was the spy?


    The mood was filled with suspicion and apprehension. For 2 hours, Champion Onana and Legs took their time to thoroughly investigate every single warrior that was assigned to mann the Giant Nak Fortress.


    While all this happened, Horny Assassin collected free experience points.


    [You have received new Grade D Mission: Investigation!]


    [Mission Details: Army Commander Legs and Champion Onana have deduced that there are moles among their ranks. Using your unique game interface advantage, help them sniff out the wolves in sheep''s clothing.]


    [Mission Reward for every sessful Investigation: 15,000 Experience Points!]

    ¡­


    [You havepleted Grade D Mission: Investigation!]


    [You have been rewarded with 15,000 Experience Points!]


    ¡­


    Considering that there were thousands of warriors manning the Giant Nak Fortress, by the end of the investigation, Horny Assassin left with a whooping ount increase of tens of millions of Experience Points.


    This yer was left giddy even as the tension in the air also affected him.


    After the investigation, Champion Onana and Legs met again.


    "No mole detected". Legs said.


    Champion Onana also shook his head.


    Thinking of something, Onana nudged Horny Assassin as he drew his sword. "Confirm that the Army Commander is not affected".


    Horny Assassin was nervous, he shook his head. "He is not affected".


    "You are also not affected". Legs said seriously.


    Champion Onana nodded as the atmosphere turned even more tense, the same thoughts went through their minds. ''That leaves President Shanks''.


    A few minutester, they arrived at the Command room of the Giant Nak Fortress. There, President Shanks kept on supervising all the activities that went on in this asteroid that was the first line of defense of the Cosmic Cataclysm.


    ''It''s now or never''.


    Legs took a deep breath before looking at him.


    "¡­" He paused and held his breath.


    Then, he heaved a sigh of relief. "He is not infected".


    Champion Onana finally sheathed his sword.


    The tension finally dropped.

 Chapter 432 Planet Cloudy Veil

    The Minerva Star System, Cloud Veil¡­


    The atmosphere of this was filled with blue and green atmospheric veils like clouds, blocking most of the shine from the Giant Star.


    The atmospheric veils were due to gaseous exchange and reactions from a giant asteroid that orbited the.


    At this moment, the atmosphere of the was peaceful until it arrived.


    Bzzz!


    A Frigate descended out of warp travel as it directly jumped into the atmosphere of this, immediately attracting the attention of theary guards as a lot of their sensors focused on it.


    The scrutiny stopped just a few secondster though.


    This Frigate got unrestricted ess into the as it elerated rapidly in a certain direction. While this happened, a certain group of warriors were already rmed as they reacted to the arrival of the Battleship.


    ¡­


    Deep in an underground base in Cloudy Veil¡­


    "We need to leave right now; we can''t keep on preaching the goodnews". A deep voice reverberated in the underground base as he tried to convince the others that it was time that they escaped.


    The other 2 looked up at the Crocodile Priest.


    This Crocodile was not like normal Crocodiles. At this moment, he was standing upright at the normal height of a tall human. Wearing thick military clothes, he looked like a soldier Croc.


    Also, having shrank his body, he looked no more than a human on a Crocodile costume. Those that knew him though dared not view him as a costume actor.


    The Crocodile Priest was one of the esteemed preachers of the Beast Coalition, a famed enforcer of the Beast King, a feared Cmity Grade A Beast.


    Alongside his 2panions, they were sent on the risky mission to the Minerva Star System to convince more beasts here to join the faith.


    "We already did our best, it''s time to leave". He emphasized again.


    "But we are yet topletely fulfill the orders from the Beast King". This time, it was a female voice who spoke, it was a Fox.


    Like the Crocodile Priest, the Fox Priest also stood upright like a human.


    "We can''t leave the beasts here to their fate, preaching the goodnews of the Beast King is our mission and we are sworn toplete it wherever we go".


    "WE CAN''T DO MUCH IF WE ARE DEAD!" The Crocodile Priest roared.


    This was when the Hare Priest finally spoke up. "I am the oldest and most authoritative Cmity Grade Priest in this mission". He looked at the Fox Priest. "I think we should listen to the Crocodile Priest this time, our stay is long overdue".


    "If I am not wrong, I think 4 of them made the entry to the".


    "This is their territory, we don''t have the luxury to fight a prolonged battle here, we can''t win". He paused. "We need to leave".


    "We can''t ignore the implications of their arriv¡­"


    BOOM!


    A loud sound reverberated as a huge hole was torn through the surface of the ground, deep into the underground base where they hid.


    The attack was from aser weapon from the Frigate hovering above.


    "They''re here!" The Fox Priest was shocked.


    "How were they able to pinpoint our location so fast?!"


    While they were still shocked by the attack, 2 special mechanic boxes fell inside the underground base. Mid-fall, a certain Mechanic''s maic energy touched them as they opened the next moment.


    Bzzz!


    From the mechanic box, an army of metal robots charged out.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Under the influence of the mechanic''s energy, all the robots that fell under the influence pulled their various weapons and pulled the trigger.


    Even as the rangedbat robots opened fire everywhere instantly after entering, the robots built for closebat also charged into the underground base.


    With their mechanic spears and swords, they went after the numerous warriors of the terrorist organization that upied here.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Crocodilian Transformation!"


    The Crocodile King made the first move as instantly, the others followed.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Rapid Feet!"


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Illusion World!"


    The Fox Priest''s ability instantly dragged the enemies into an illusion.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    During this time, the Crocodile Priest already transformed into a gigantic Crocodile as one m of it''s body enabled it to dig a hole and subsequently dig an escape tunnel to escape from the.


    "NOT ON MY WATCH!"


    The voice of this Nak warrior reverberated like thunder.


    With his bare hairy chest like a beast, Admiral Kong directly charged after the enemies through the tunnel as powerful loud sounds reverberated.


    BOOM! BOOM!


    This was when Admiral Ling made her move.


    The illusion may have affected them but as also Cmity Grade Supers, they were able to easily break from it as they flexed the full extent of their powers.


    "Special Elementalist Ability: Frost World!"


    From the edges of this underground base, frost spread as everywhere became frozen the next moment, including the underground tunnel.


    That was not all, Admiral Cheng made his move.


    "Special Psychic Ability: Mental Poke!"


    The reaction to his attack was rabid.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Injured, the Crocodile Priest burst out of the tunnel that he built as he thrashed about in pain. With his emergence, the other 2 Priests were also forced out, this was when they finally saw their enemies.


    As soon as they looked, the first thing that attracted their attention was the extremely famous ck and gold mechanic suit.


    They also saw the gigantic iconic canon on the mech suit''s shoulders.


    They all shuddered. "It''s The War Mechanic!"


    Admiral Zhao did not hesitate, he opened fire.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    5 minutester, everything finally died down.


    BZZZ!


    As soon as the unstable portal opened, thest of them jumped in.


    He was able to teleport away out of this Star System.


    "Subdue him!" Admiral Zhao ordered as thest of the 3 Cmity Grade terrorists was subdued and captured.


    The fightsted only 5 minutes yet in this time, this part of Cloud Veil was left like a that just suffered an apocalypse.


    This was the power of Cmity Grade Supers.


    Unnecessary casualties were fortunately avoided since Admiral Zhao already warned theary guards ahead of time.


    Grabbing the restrained Fox Priest with his mechanic suit, Admiral Zhaomented. "Illusion powers¡­, is she rted to the Illusion Emperor?"


    The others were also frowning. "This is bing moreplicated than expected, the Grand Admiral will need to hear about this".


    "Also, I never thought there were 3 of them in our territory".


    "How were they able to infiltrate this deep?"


    Admiral Cheng''s eyes gleamed. "I think we have some greedy traitors that need flushing out, I''ll take care of it".


    Before leaving, he turned to look at Admiral Zhao onest time. "You, take care of the Croc, narrow down the coordinates of where he teleported to".


    Bzzz!


    Admiral Cheng teleported away.


    As soon as he left, Admiral Zhao turned to face thest 2 Admirals. "What will the both of you be doing? Will you return to yours?"


    "No". Admiral Kong''s tone was fierce. "I need to make sure that no other terrorist is lurking in our territory, I''ll be checking the region".


    "I''ll apany him to protect him, you know, in the case of an emergency".


    "I understand". Admiral Zhao nodded.


    The next moment, the Frigate left Cloudy Veil and entered warp travel, Admiral Zhao returned to his territory.

    "C''mon, don''t do this to me!"


    He continued.


    [Experience Points have been deducted!]

    [Mission Reward: Sessful Grade Advancement.]


    "¡­"


    Seeing the advancement mission, Horny Assassin froze.


    Him freezing was because of multiple reasons. First, his experience points already dwindled to the red level when this notification of an advancement mission was triggered, his emotions just went through a rollercoaster.


    He took deep breaths to prevent himself from screaming in joy yet.


    The second reason for freezing was because of the steepness and difficulty of this advancement mission. "You must be joking!"


    He didn''t despair though. "Thankfully, I was prepared".


    He navigated through his game interface and picked what he wanted.


    [You have made use of Mission Completion Card!]


    [Congrattions! You havepleted Grade Advancement Mission: No Pain; No Gain!]


    [You have been rewarded with a Grade Advancement!]


    [Congrattions! You have be a Grade D Pugilist!]


    Instantly after this interface notification came out, Horny Assassin''s attention was attracted as a regional game announcement lit up.


    -----


    [Regional Darvis Game Announcement!]


    [Congrattions to the yer, Horny Assassin for being the first to be a Grade D yer!]


    ----


    Ripples of shock spread through the game.


    Another war started in the global forum.


    >Sus Lord- Holy Sh*t! Are you for real right now?! That''s so sus man!<


    >Mashed Potato Lord- Damn! I can''t believe it man, after so long, our legendary presenter finally did it! I''m your most loyal fan Horny, fighting!<


    >Rotten Zhini- I''m gonna die¡­, I can''t believe this! [Crying face emoji]<


    >Zonald Trump- This Horny Assassin guy seems interesting, I heard his videos are so engaging, I also heard he''s the best presenter, I''ll like to follow him<<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    >Multiple yers are typing¡­<


    >Horny Doctor- Shameless Horny Assassin at it again [Crying face emoji] He''s f*cking started with his shameless side ount advertisement again<


    Seeing the messages, Horny Assassin grinned.


    "Actually, this time, I''m not the one who did it".


    He chuckled. "My fan base is really increasing it seems".


    Taking a deep breath, he tried to y it cool but it onlysted 5 seconds, he sighed. "In the end, a man will always return to his roots".


    He no longer held himself back, heughed like a maniac.


    "Muahaha¡­, Manchester f*cking United!!!"


    "Manchester to the world!"


    ¡­


    "Umm¡­, Dad, what is going on?" Uranus had a confused look on his face.


    "Just stay put and do as I say". Legs snapped.


    "¡­" Uranus twisted his lips and pouted.


    Instantly after his dad returned from his trip to the Giant Nak Fortress, Legs directly called him, de, and Christensen to his office. As soon as he arrived, he told them to stand still as he stared at them.


    ''No red-name among them''.


    Legs finally heaved a deep sigh of relief as he plopped down on his chair.


    Christensen and de could already tell that something was wrong, they sat down before him. "What happened in the Giant Nak Fortress?"


    "We have an infiltrator in our midst". Legs answered nonchntly.


    "¡­"


    All 3 warriors were rmed, including the teenage Uranus.


    Legs did not give too much attention to their reactions. "It''s a Psychic Specter from our main enemy of the Cosmic Cataclysm, the Bug Conqueror".


    "I don''t know how he was able to do it, but he''s probably infiltrated us for a long enough time to know a lot of things about us already".


    "Also, I believe there are others that are affected by him".


    His face turned serious. "We definitely can''t survive the Cataclysm with a mole in our midst, our improvisations andst-minute ns to change our situation won''t work then since the enemy will always know".


    "This is why I need your help to check every suspect".


    "It doesn''t necessarily have to be all the citizens in the, just focus on checking the warriors, mostly those of a high grade and authority in the army".


    "They''re the best targets to infiltrate".


    "You''ll need the immortals for this task".


    Legs, President Shanks, and Champion Onana did not rest after returning to Darvis as they sent out investigation parties led by immortals.


    They were determined to dig out every infected warrior.


    The only problem was that for 3 days, they got no result until Legs noticed a message from a yer that was trending in the global yer forum.


    >Bnced John0Wick- [Screenshot]<


    >Bnced John0Wick- Guys, I think this is what the Army Commander is looking for. I logged out yesterday, on logging back into the game, I noticed that I could no longer control my body and my interface shows that I have been parasitized by a strange organism<


    >Bnced John0Wick- The shocking part of it all is that when I''m alone, it bes active and takes full control over my body but when I''m with others, it enters a passive state like in the screenshot<


    >Bnced John0Wick- In this state, my red-name bes blue, making it impossible for others to know that I''ve been infected by the parasite<


    >Bnced John0Wick- The feeling is so weird, I just wanted to share<


    Another war exploded in the global yer forum.


    >Multiple yers are typing¡­<


    While the war among the yers erupted, another war erupted in Legs'' own mind as his eyes widened in shock.


    A lot of things finally started making sense, all the loose pieces finally added together to be one again. "Does that mean¡­, those that I''ve already checked like President Shanks and Champion Onana may be infected?!"


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    A bomb went off in his head.

 Chapter 434 New Member Of The Gray World Gathering

    "Assassin Master Heimdall".


    "Army Commander". Heimdall bowed respectfully as soon as he met Legs.


    Instantly after making the discovery through the yer Bnced John0Wick in the global yer forum, Legs went to work.


    ''Till date, I have no idea if I can revive like the yers if I die''.


    This was also a mystery of his reincarnation that Legs was yet to crack. Though in his previous world, he had seen animes like Re:Zero, the fear of death just could not let him try it out as an experiment.


    And definitely, he had no intentions of trying it out now.


    This was why he was giving his best to tip the scales of the uing Cosmic Cataclysm in their favor. ''I can''t afford to die, there''s still so much that I''m yet to do, I''m yet to even meet any fellow earthling that was reincarnated''.


    This was why he decided to meet Heimdall.


    Looking at this Shadow Elementalist, he made his decision. "There is something that I want to introduce you to".


    Heimdall paid attention as his mood improved on hearing that.


    "I know you''ve always wondered how I was able to bring E and John from an entirely different, now, I think you are ready to know more".


    "His Excellency the Hermit has deemed you worthy to be a member of his gctic gathering, I personally vouched for you". Legs smiled.


    "It is my honor to be a part of his servanthood".


    As a higher-up of the Nightmare Army, this was not Heimdall''s first time hearing about the Hermit, the ruler of the gray world. Having multiple higher-ups of the Nightmare Army as members let some information spill to him.


    Heimdall was excited. ''Finally, my efforts are being repaid''.


    He decided to be Legs'' subordinate because he recognized that this was his chance to break his limits, and to him, this was a promising sign.


    As soon as Heimdall agreed, everything else was simple.


    After telling him to sit down cross-legged in meditation with closed eyes, Legs secretly pressed the gray apple tattoo on his wrist.


    BZZZ!


    When his sight adjusted, he was back in the gray world.


    "Wee back, Legs".


    Legs smiled. "It''s nice to see you Aaron".


    "How has life been for you in here for the past few weeks?"


    "Tense". Aaron chuckled. "You know, feeling through your senses is sometimes not really ideal, it''s almost traumatic. Your stress and tension for the past few days has rubbed off on me, I am so worked up right now".


    "Putting that aside though, I''m hyped".


    "I can''t wait to get my new body".


    Legs smiled. "Don''t worry, he is an elite, he will make it worth the wait".


    "So, him, you want to make him the newest member of the gathering?"


    "Yes". Legs'' face turned grave.


    Since reincarnating into this world anding to terms with it, Aaron has consistently been the only person that Legs wasfortable with telling all his secrets since the Elementalist already knew most of his secrets.


    He told Aaron about his discovery.


    Aaron was predictably shocked. "Even with my vast experience, I''m not sure I''ve seen a beast with parasitic abilities of this level".


    "This Space Bug is a highly evolved one". His face also turned grave.


    "What I want to ask is¡­" Legs paused. "Bringing Heimdall to the gray world will enable me to see through him. If one of the parasites is in him, will the gray world be able to suppress it?"


    "¡­" Aaron was surprised.


    "Is that even a question? Of course, it will".


    Legs no longer hesitated, he pulled at the pulsing gray ball.


    Bzzz!


    As soon as Legs arrived, having created a doppelganger already, he first addressed a stunned Heimdall with the persona of the Hermit.


    Feeling the powerful energy and suppression, Heimdall submittedpletely. ''So it''s this existence that aided the Army Commander''s rapid rise?''


    After telling him the basics about the gray world gathering, the Hermit finally kept silent as Legs'' doppelganger took over. After Heimdall took his tarot card character name, Legs finally revealed his real idea to him.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Heimdall became only the 2nd NPC to know about the real nature of the parasite that was released by the Bug Conqueror.


    "I need your help to stalk Champion Onana".


    "ording to the evidence that I currently have, the parasite will most likely only truly act up when the host is alone or in a state of rest".


    "With my abilities, stalking Champion Onana alone is impossible".


    "I''ll borrow Brutus from Christensen and together, I intend to stalk Champion Onana. We need to confirm that he is not infected, and if our conclusion is positive, we need to capture and investigate the parasite in the immortal".


    "What if our conclusion is negative?" Heimdall asked.


    Legs paused. "Then we simply hope for the best".

    ----


    Bzzz!


    Instantly after Champion Onana retired for the night after a long day of construction work in the mechanic workshop, 3 powerhouses stalked him home.


    Through these abilities from Brutus and Heimdall, despite being a Grade B Powerhouse, Onana''s senses and instincts were mostly dulled as he could not pick up the presence of his 3 stalkers.


    This was the power of shadow energy.


    Throughout the night, Legs stayed awake watching him, not once in the night did a parasitee out and not once did Onana''s name be red.


    After a long night, morning finally came.


    Legs heaved a sigh of relief. "He is clean".


    As soon as Brutus and Heimdall deactivated their abilities in exhaustion, Champion Onana''s eyes snapped open as he looked at them.


    His face turned weird. "What''s this?"


    Legs stood up. "I have something to tell you, it''s important".


    A few minutester, Champion Onana''s face also turned grave. "That makes everyone apart from 3 of us suddenly look far more suspicious".


    This Mechanic was having a headache. "The Cataclysm is yet to start yet we''re being pushed this far to the edge already, troubling times are ahead".


    He turned to look at Legs. "So, what''s your next step?"


    "We capture, interrogate, confiscate the parasite and study it".


    "We need to know more about our enemy, that''s the way to beat it".


    "Also, from what little I''ve learned about the parasite, I believe that the one we killed was the main parasite but during it''s stay in Darvis, it must have birthed more parasites to take in it''s steed".


    "I believe that after the death of the main, the others are isted".


    "If we do it right, we can sniff them out without alerting our main enemy".


    "The direction of the Cataclysm rests in our arms".

 Chapter 435 A Pivotal Decision

    [You have triggered Grade D Mission: Recruitment!]


    [Mission Details: Congrattions, you have fulfilled one of the hidden requirements to be a member of the Nightmare Army. Meet one of the officials of the Army, you will be epted.]


    [Mission Reward: Be a warrior of the Nightmare Army.]


    [Mission Expiration Time: 8 hours!]


    A certain yer walking through the streets was shocked.


    "Are you for real?"


    "Was I just recruited by the Nightmare Army?"


    "But, how? What did I do? I didn''t do anything".


    "Did the goddess of luck just shake her cheeky bosom in my direction? Holy!"


    He was stunned and excited.


    Compared to years ago in Version 1 when being close to Legs simply meant joining his faction, the story was now entirely different. Those who joined him from Version 1 received a great boost.


    In Version 2, the requirements to join the Nightmare Army was steep.


    Also, the benefits after joining the army were also incredibly rich.


    From ess to exclusive ss knowledge, gadgets, and transferrable abilities to having the chance to spar with powerful NPCs. When a spar was triggered with a powerful enough NPC, a mission was triggered alongside it for the yers.


    If they perform well, they could get lots of benefits.


    Still, these were just the rudimentary benefits of joining the Nightmare Army. From influence to more connections, the Nightmare Army offered all of these since it was an organization at the very forefront of Darvis.


    Bnced John0Wick did not hesitate. "The goddess of luck finally decided to shine her luck on me, I can''t afford to waste this opportunity".


    Without hesitation, he met one of the officials of the Nightmare Army in his prefecture. That same hour after his application, it was epted.


    [Congrattions! You have be a warrior of the Nightmare Army!]


    Excited, Bnced John0Wick did not hesitate as he sent screenshots to the global yer forum. While this warrior excitedly made his way to the headquarters of the Nightmare Army, something else inside him stirred.


    ''What is this? Has my cover been blown?'' The Psychic Parasite stirred.


    ''I need to y it cool, I can''t drop my cover now''.


    ''Perhaps, I should take this as an opportunity. This is another opportunity for me to continue the mission of the Specter by infiltrating deep''.


    ''The mission of the Emperor must be fulfilled!''


    ''I should stay passive''.


    A few hourster, everything was smooth, Bnced John0Wick made his way into the headquarters of the Nightmare Army but just after he made his way into one of the many registration buildings, something hit his head.


    Bam!


    He lost consciousness.

    After capturing the target, while Champion Onana used his myriad machines, scanning the yer deeply, trying to find the parasite to no avail, Legs suddenly walked towards his virtual screen and started writing on it.


    "The Psychic Parasite has no form, like it''s name, it is psychic in nature".


    "These are its abilities".<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    By the time that Legs was done writing, Shadow Master Heimdall and Champion Onana werepletely shocked.


    "How were you able to do it?" Champion Onana asked.


    "I have my ways".


    It soundedpletely crazy but Champion Onana was used to crazy things after the past 5 months spent with him, he believed the Summoner.


    Legs turned to look at the virtual screen. "Using these abilities as our temte, I think we can now assume and know a lot about the enemy that we face, he is no longer in the dark like before".


    "First, they can grow and proliferate".


    "Taking these into ount and the short time as well, after killing the main parasite, I think we can assume that none of them at this moment is above the Grade D realm which means all our Grade C powerhouses are likely safe".


    "The time is just too short for another of them to grow so powerful".


    "Putting that aside, looking at the proliferate ability, I think it''s best we assume that there are dozens if not hundreds of these things out there already".


    "We should prepare for the worst".


    "What matters though is that our high-level secrets are not being leaked".


    "The passive ability exins why it''s so hard to detect them, as for its sole Special Ability, it exins why Commander Fong died 3 days ago".


    "I don''t think we can counter this process except only by High Official Eleanor, but we can''t have her at all ces all at the same time".


    "Also, from what I just discovered; they likely can''t be killed the normal way unless the kill is done by a Psychic. The most reliable way to kill them is by killing their host, thankfully, the victim is an immortal this time".

    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    ----


    The Psychic Parasite tried to retaliate but it was simply too weak, Legs obliterated the yer including the parasite from existence with one punch.


    "With this information¡­" Legs turned to look at Champion Onana. "I believe you now have the foundation to properly fight the parasites".


    Champion Onana nodded seriously. "This is more than enough, leave it to me".


    "Thanks". Legs nodded, then he finally turned to look at Heimdall. "Go get prepared, the gray world gathering is in an hour".


    "Yes, Army Commander".


    After Champion Onana and Heimdall left, alone in his office after sitting down cross-legged, a lot of worrying thoughts went through Legs'' mind.


    He made use of his game interface.

    Legs looked troubled. ''My leveling speed is not fast enough''.


    ''Compared to version 1, my experience points are increasing far faster than before but the requirements to level up increases at a steeper rate''.


    ''At this rate, I''ll never be a Grade B Summoner before the Cataclysm which is my surest way of gaining more power in preparation for it''.


    ''Apart from leveling up a grade, another way for me to exponentially grow my power is by learning more ss knowledges''.


    ''I have no doubt that if I am able to learn just 1 Cutting-Edge knowledge, my power will grow so much that I''ll hardly be able to recognize my current self but that''s the problem, I can''t get Cutting-Edge knowledge here''.


    ''Even the Nak Navy has no ess to knowledge of such caliber''.


    ''To get them, I''ll need to go to the Nak State itself''.


    Legs was ced in a dilemma. ''I can''t face the Cataclysm like this, if the power difference is too huge, then being smart would no longer be as useful''.


    ''I must do something about this''.


    Amid his thoughts, one existence floated to his mind, the rogue hunter, Edgar, he felt troubled. ''This decision¡­, should I make it?''

 Chapter 436 Last Gray World Gathering Before The Cataclysm

    Bzzz! Bzzz!


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit". The Star''s cheerful voice reverberated like usual, instantly putting a joyful hallow in the gray world.


    Hearing Sophia''s cheerful voice, Legs instantly felt most of his sorrows melt away as they were reced by an inexinable joy.


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit".


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit".


    Followed by the Emperor, all the other members of the gray world gathering soon greeted their leader. Hearing their greetings, Legs felt a feeling of nostalgia overwhelm him in the throne of the Hermit.


    ''They''re actually my homies in this world since reincarnation''.


    Since his reincarnation years ago, the members of his gathering were not just his source of information, they already grew so close over the years that they now see each other as nothing less than brothers.


    While they greeted, they also already noticed the new member.


    The World did the introductions this time in ce of the Hermit. "Today, we have a new member in our midst, let''s wee the newest member of the gray world gathering, the Sun".


    The Star took the lead, cheerfully weing him to the gathering.


    "It is an honor to be part of this gctic gathering". Heimdall said seriously.


    Having been told by de and Christensen the 2 members of the gathering that were from outside Darvis already, Heimdall paid more attention to them as he still felt like he was dreaming.


    ''Deciding to follow Legs was right Afterall''.


    ''I never expected to be exposed to the gctic world this early''.


    After some more cheerful words from the Star, the gathering moved forward swiftly and entered it''s first phase. Like usual, every member of the gathering told the information around their various areas, updating the others about them.


    Of course, the information from all those in Darvis was mostly rted to theing Cosmic Cataclysm, it''s effects on the citizens of the, the tension, and the reactions to the impending doom.


    It was only when it came to Edgar''s turn that the tune changed.


    "It''s not easy surviving as a rogue Warlord in a world ravaged by an apocalypse but I have managed to thrive".


    "As a Grade C Warlord, I have the capital to expand my rogue hunter group. Over the years and most especially in recent weeks, the numbers of hunters in my rogue group have skyrocketed, the hunter union seems to be up to something".


    "Also, one of the higher-ups of the Hunter Union reached out to me".


    "It seems I''ve finally grown enough to enter their radar".


    "He wants to recruit me".


    The eyes of this warrior gleamed as he looked at the hazy silhouettes of the other members of the gray world gathering. "I have taken significant steps in my quest, I hope that when it''s time, I am able to rely on your help".


    "The gray world gathering is a premium gctic gathering".


    "With all your help, I believe that Austere can be saved".


    While Edgar spoke, a lot of things went through Legs'' mind, he did notment though until the rogue warrior was done speaking.


    After that, the next phase of the gathering kicked off.


    Compared to years ago, the transaction phase of the gray world gathering was even richer and more extensive now.


    The Star was no longer the Star of 6 years ago. As a Grade D+ Fire Elementalist, she was already close to the top of hierarchy among warriors of Darvis and due to her father''s wealth had a lot of influence.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    She had a lot of exclusive goods for sale.


    Altan was also a different man from 6 years ago. After the significant role that he yed during the era of the Clown Society, he became immortalized in the desertmunity, he was a higher-up representing all desert tribes.


    Due to hiscking talent, he was still just a Grade D+ Pugilist but hisbat strength was not to be scoffed at, he proved himself in the Nak Cataclysm.


    The other members of the gray world gathering were even more influential figures, they all had ess to a lot of exclusive goods that they could trade.


    The transaction phase this time took a whooping 1 hour.


    By the time that it came to an end, Heimdall was already thanking every God that he recollected in his brain for granting him the insight and smartness to recognize Legs'' talent and go under his wing on time.


    By the time that the transaction phase came to an end, through his transactions with Edgar, he got more than enough stuffs to empower himself.


    He was satisfied.


    After the transaction phase came to an end, the Hermit finally addressed the gathering as a whole. "Considering what is going on in Darvis, I take this as a pivotal gathering that will change the direction of future gatherings".


    "This is the time when the unity of this gathering is called to duty".


    "All of you must stand strong and firm".


    "You must all support each other".


    "I was there from the beginning of the gathering, when I picked up the Star as just a normal gradeless human. Since then, we''vee a long way in unity, I hope that all of you keep this up".


    "With time, you may get to a level where you can all help me properly".


    Legs choose his words wisely, while emphasizing unity, he also used thatst sentence to emphasize that no matter how powerful they were currently, they were still not powerful enough to help more in his matters.


    This further increased the gravitas and status of the Hermit.


    After saying some more words, driving home the point that the oue of the war in Darvis would determine the future direction of the gray world gathering, he finally dropped the real information.


    "As you all know, the World is my prime warrior and assistant".


    "He is also my closest confidant".


    "To increase his chances of helping Darvis survive the Cataclysm, he has asked a favor from me". The Hermit''s deep eyes looked at Edgar. "The World wants to go on a power getting mission to Austere with you".


    "While helping you to build your rogue hunter group, he intends to stimte himself with the opportunities and dangers of a lethal like yours".


    "He hopes to be a Grade B Summoner before the Cataclysm".


    All the warriors sat straighter on hearing that; the World had always been the gbearer of the gray world gathering. Over the years, they already instinctively started seeing him as the leader when the Hermit was not around.


    The Hermit''s eyes remained trained on Edgar. "What is your decision?"


    Edgar grinned. "I''ll dly wee his presence anytime, Afterall, he saved me from the inevitable circle of death of my".


    Edgar turned to look at the World. "Whenever you''re ready, a word is all you need and I''m ready to take you in".


    The Hermit nodded and was about to end the gathering when another voice interjected. "I also want to join in".


    Heimdall''s eyes gleamed. "It''s been a childhood dream of mine to go to another when I''m old and powerful enough". He looked straight at Edgar. "Help me and I''ll be indebted to you".


    Edgar grinned. "Wee to Austere".

 Chapter 437 A Trip Through Planets

    The headquarters of the Nightmare Army¡­


    Shadow Master Heimdall stood watching in the Army Commander''s office as Legs added his finishing touches, arranging the weapons and gadgets that he would need for the trip to Austere.


    Since Legs was not sure how long this trip would take, he decided to n for long. Afterall, an important task to fulfill his goal was the ability to stay independent in the dangerous.


    He stuffed everything in his storage ring.


    "Mithril Sword¡­, check".


    "Mithril Bow¡­, check".


    "Enchanted Daggers¡­, check".


    "Positron Rifle¡­, check".


    After he was done with his preparations, Legs turned to face Heimdall. "What weapons are you carrying for the trip?"


    "Just my Elementalist Staff". Heimdall smiled.


    "You''ll need a sword, preferably a shadow sword".


    Heimdall chuckled. "I''ve never really felt the need to use a sword, my shadow Elementalist abilities can take care of everything that I''ve faced".


    "Not in the that we are going to". Legs looked at him.


    "Unlike Darvis where the apocalypse beasts are kind of at a handicap already, the apocalypse beasts in Austere are still firmly the winning side".


    "Every year, they push closer to devouring the whole".


    "In Darvis, you hardly hear of beast invasions".


    "In Austere, it''s amon urrence".


    "And about their beasts, they are far more numerous and different than anything you''ve seen in Darvis".


    "Just as a point of reference, I got Warp Prime there, that is a menace and only the menacing can survive there".


    "With a shadow sword, not only will it augment your survival abilities when ambushed at point-nk range, it also gives you an attack alternative".


    "It is the best course of action if you intend to return with your head intact".


    Heimdall silently looked at Legs for a few seconds.


    "Understood, thank you Army Commander".


    "I think it''s time I hit the market".


    As soon as Heimdall left, Legs continued his preparations. Apart from his weapons, he also prepared a lot of potions and pills for this trip.


    There was no notion of too much in his quest.


    Before now, he already spoke with his 2 students. In his absence, Christensen was to be the Army Commander of the Nightmare Army while de gave his unrestricted support to keep the army operational.


    Also, for this trip, though he was not sure how long he would spend to achieve his goals, he put an estimate of 3 weeks.


    If Onana''s estimate of the invasion being in 6 months was correct, he still had 3 weeks of preparation time to try breaking his limits.


    He continued his preparations to leave.


    It was during his preparations that a tall boy entered his office, the boy''s red skin already betrayed his identity as Legs smiled and turned to face him.


    "Dad". Uranus went closer into his father''s embrace.


    Legs held the boy tight as he basked in the moment. "How are you?"


    "I heard you''re leaving our".


    "Yeah, it''s just a little trip to seek more power". Legs chuckled.


    "What if you don''t return?"


    "¡­"


    Legs coughed. "Stop saying such ominous words".


    "I eavesdropped from my room; I heard your warnings to Master Heimdall".


    Legs red at the little Titan boy. "That ability of yours, I''ve told you to not use it on my office again".


    "I''m sorry". He pouted.


    Legs used this opportunity to check Uranus'' status.

    ¡­


    [Remark: A Titan Pugilist with a promising future.]


    ----


    Legs rubbed the boy''s head. ''It''s been 6 years huh?''


    Compared to the first time when he checked Uranus'' status, the boy had grown a lot. As thest born of his family that included his students and his beasts, of course, Uranus was pampered by everyone.


    Through his special nature, Uranus was able to take advantage of the love from his seniors as he was able to steal some of their specialties.


    ''A golden boy indeed''. Legs was impressed.


    He could still remember that day, years ago when he picked the boy out of the ruin of the Ancient Titan Empire. Then, all Uranus could do was babble all day, now, he had grown up to be this powerful Grade D Pugilist.


    Of course, Uranus was yet to unlock his true potential that his biological father, the Titan Emperor and his subjects prepared for him but he was still strong.


    With his Pugilist abilities, he was already strong.


    ''I wonder when he''ll finally leave the development phase and be mature. Is it when he''s 15? Or 16? Well, I''ll never know''.


    "Dad". Uranus suddenly called; Legs looked at him.


    "When will you take me to see my ancestral home?"


    Legs smiled. "When you''re ready".


    "But I''m ready". Uranus insisted.


    Legs kept his smile. "When you''re ready, I''ll know". He patted his head. "Master Heimdall is back, it''s time to go".


    "Keep Darvis safe while I''m gone".


    Uranus twisted his lips again but he soon epted the reality, he looked at his dad. "Don''t worry, I''ll keep the safe while you''re gone".


    "That''s my boy". Legs rubbed his head again.


    About a minuteter, after Heimdall returned to the office, Uranus finally left as both of them sat cross-legged in meditation.


    A few secondster, Legs pressed the gray apple tattoo on his wrist.


    On arriving at the gray world, they noticed the gray ball that pulsed.


    "That is our way". Legs indicated and walked closer, Heimdall followed him, then without hesitation they both jumped in.


    Bzzz!


    They disappeared.


    ¡­


    In the wild of this dangerous stood a certain underground rogue hunter base that was led by an already notorious rogue hunter.


    At this moment, Edgar stood at the surface directly above his hideout. There were 6 Grade D warriors behind him, they followed their leader''s orders and waited though they had no idea what they were waiting for.


    After a few minutes of waiting, something emerged.


    Bzzz!


    It was a gray opening through which 2 warriors came out.


    They were rmed but seeing their leader remain calm, they also stayed calm as they observed the 2 obviously powerful warriors who were oddly dressed.


    "Wee to Austere". Edgar smiled.


    While Legs smiled and shook his hand, Heimdall remained rooted on the spot as he observed. He took a deep breath of the air here and savored how it felt, he bent down and picked the soil to feel it''s texture.


    The forest breeze, the waving trees, everything felt novel to him.


    Looking to the skies, he finally saw the permanent crack leading into Austere that Legs already told him about. ording to the Army Commander, it was through this crack that beasts invaded Austere.


    Heimdall was leftpletely fascinated, he also felt a sense of serenity well in him, he sighed as he felt like he just experienced a minor mental breakthrough.


    "So, this is what it feels to be in another?"


    "This is no longer Darvis". He grinned. "This is Austere".

 Chapter 438 Planet Austere

    Edgar took Legs and Heimdall on a tour around his base.


    Edgar called his rogue hunter group the Epoch Changers, this involved his ambition through the help of the Hermit to change his fate of his.


    If Austere continued on its current path, the fate of the was to be dominated by the apocalypse beasts, leaving all the humans extinct but Edgar was determined to change the course of history.


    This was the motivation for the name of his rogue hunter group.


    Over the years, he already developed to be a great preacher. Preaching his good news of saving the, he managed to attract lots of hunters, both rogue and official hunters already who were ready to work on his behalf.


    The mostmon fact about his subordinates was that they were not resigned to let their future generations continue in this dangerous state.


    They all wanted to build a better future for their children.


    The Epoch Changers rogue hunter group had approximately 2000 hunters. Though, in therge scheme of teams, that was still small, considering the total amount of humans were in Austere, this was already big.


    The hidden underground base was like a familiar base that Legs raided alongside Christensen and some yers years ago.


    Theyout was simr to that of the Swordmaster Hideout.


    While Edgar led the tour around the base, all his subordinates were amazed.


    Since inception, one of Edgar''s greatest campaign strategies to attract hunter volunteers was his im that he had ess to a gctic gathering.


    When he became a Grade C Psychic, his im gained more ground since he imed that he had multiple Grade C friends in his gctic gathering.


    Few people believed him, but there were those who believed in miracles.


    At this moment though, as the tour continued, those words from Edgar no longer seemed as oundish. In Austere, Grade B was the pinnacle of strength but there were less than 3 Grade B Supers in the.


    They stood no chance before the dangerous beasts that roamed here.


    In the presence of only 2 Grade B Supers, Grade C Supers became the most dominant force in the. Grade C Supers were revered the same way that they were revered in Darvis, most Supers saw them as their end goal.


    This was why 2 Grade C Superhumans suddenly visiting their hideout and being so yummy with their leader was a big deal to these warriors.


    ''The leader was right Afterall, he really has connections outside our''.


    ''Do we really have a chance of escaping extinction?''


    ''Even if the chance is extremely slim, I''ll dly go for it''.


    ''The leader has to get all the support that he needs''.


    Edgar never intended for it but Legs and Heimdall''s presence motivated his rogue army. Some pledged their lives and undying loyalty to him on the spot, others even got set to join him in preaching the news of hope.


    After the tour, all 3 of them finally settled down at the deepest room of this hideout, that was where Legs addressed them about his real intentions.


    "I didn''t say it previously due to various reasons, but my real intention for deciding toe to Austere is to take in the immortals here".


    "¡­" Edgar was confused.


    "¡­" Heimdall was shocked. "The immortals also exist here?"


    "Yes". Legs turned to look at him. "They are universal, they inhibit differents across the universe".


    "My goal is to recruit them into Edgar''s rogue group".


    "Is there a special reason that¡­?"


    "Yes". Legs answered before Heimdall could finish. "The immortals are extremely important to me, my natural talent evolves through studying them".


    "The more of them I get to study, the faster I grow".


    Legs'' face was serious throughout as he spouted this nonsense.


    Heimdall nodded seriously. "It exins a lot. Afterall, your rapid rise seems to coincide with the first appearance of the immortals".<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    This was when Edgar interjected. "What are immortals?"


    "They are Supers who don''t die".


    "¡­" Edgar was shocked. "Such Supers exist?"


    "Yes". Legs nodded seriously.


    Having expected a scenario like this, he proceeded to exin the properties of the yer. "When killed, they dissipate into white light andter revives".


    "Inrge numbers, they are like arge army of immortals".


    "They are not exactly too strong now, but inrge armies, a force of soldiers that do not die can intimidate any opponent".


    Edgar rubbed his chin in thought. "The Skyrim King!"


    "What''s that?"


    "The Skyrim race is one of the 3 leading races alongside the human race in Austere".


    "The Skyrim King is the highest-ranking Skyrim representative in the hunter union, he boasts a special army with properties simr to what you just described, but he calls them the Zombie army".


    "They recently became the most important of his 3 elite forces".


    -----


    [You have triggered Grade B Mission: Professional Theft!]


    [Mission Details: The Skyrim King boasts an army of yers, he ims to have created them himself. Through great benefits, he is able to keep a hold of them.]


    [Main Mission: Do not use force, try to steal his yers the professional thief way. Do not stain your hands; steal and leave as a clean man, a non-suspect, that''s the professional way.]


    [Mission Reward: Hint to the location of the other yers in Austere.]


    ----


    "¡­" Legs was shocked.


    ''Damn, even a mission was triggered for it?''


    ''Awesome, I never expected it!'' He was surprised.


    "That''s the one". Legs finally said.


    "The Skyrim King?"


    "Yes, he is our target".


    "Uh¡­" Edgar fidgeted and scratched his head.


    Legs had a bad feeling. "What?"


    "Actually, the Skyrim King¡­, he''s the 2nd Grade B Super in Austere, the 1st Grade B Super is the human Champion Hunter, Maximus".


    "¡­"


    ''A scam like expected!'' Legs screamed in his mind.


    He soon calmed down though. ''I''m not giving up this''.


    He finally understood the reason for the name of the triggered mission. ''There''s no way I can beat a Grade B powerhouse with force, like the system indicates, the only way is by using my brain''.


    He sighed. ''Professional theft it is then''.


    He looked at his 2panions. "Get ready, we''re moving to town".

 Chapter 439 The Chosen One- Steamed Bun Extinction

    Unlike Darvis, the division in Austere was stronger.


    The less than 10% territory that was yet to be imed by the apocalypse beasts was shared by the Skyrim race, the Human race, and the Sheikh race, every other race in the Lizardmen and the Demon Outcasts were minor races.


    The hunter union was the only thing keeping the surviving races in Austere from crumbling from within.


    Perhaps, if there were no Grade B Supers, the would have long been overrun by the beasts of the apocalypse already.


    The distinction between the major and minor races set up a hierarchy and set limit in the hunter union, no Lizardman no matter how powerful they were could rise above the 5th rank in the rankings of the hunter union.


    The 5th rank was their limit and it was for only Grade C hunters.


    Inparison, when Edgar still worked under the hunter union as a registered hunter, he was also a 5th rank hunter despite being just a Grade D Psychic then with not muchbat experience.


    As a Grade C Psychic now, if he was still a registered hunter, he would have be a 6th rank hunter by now and this was all because of his race as a human.


    This division in the also reflected in the standards of living.


    There were 3 major settlements in the upied regions of Austere, the Human territory, the Skyrim territory, and the Sheikh territory.


    As a human, of course, Edgar''s work as a rogue hunter was based in the human territory. This was until Legs'' mission decided to lead to the Skyrim territory, Edgar had no choice but to lead the way.


    They waited till it was night before going on the move.

    ----


    To prevent causing muchmotion, Legs after fusing with his beast carried both humans as he followed Edgar''s directions.


    Fused with Bran, the journey was swift as it was through the air.


    In just 35 minutes, they arrived at the territory of the Skyrims. This was where Legs set his eyes on his first Skyrim.


    The Skyrims were huge humanoid warriors with silver skin. They had hands and legs like humans, but they had innate wings that can be activated through their thoughts. When activated, they looked like silver humans with wings.


    And yes, the Skyrims could fly.


    Legs descended just outside the Skyrim territory.


    Outside, while using different preventive measures to mask themselves from being discovered, the 3 of them properly scouted the enemy territory.


    Afterpleting the peripheral scouting, Legs made his decision.


    "From what you said, the Skyrim King stays at the very center of the Skyrim territory which is still far from our current location".


    "And from how important the Skyrim King takes the immortals, there''s a high likelihood that he will keep them close to himself".


    "To find an immortal, we''ll likely need to scout deep".


    "We can''t". Edgar warned with a serious look on his face. "Despite thepetition between the 3 major races, there is one thing that they all agree on as hunters of the hunter union, and that is opposing rogue hunters".


    "They believe that apart from the apocalypse beasts, we''re the worst menace to society, they would do everything to kill us if we''re discovered".


    "It doesn''t matter how strong we are".


    "So long we''re not Grade B powerhouses, we can''t win".


    Legs was amused. "Who said we''ll be fighting against them?"


    "Besides, who even said we''d be discovered?"


    "Huh?" Edgar was confused.


    Legs smiled. "Let''s just say I''m used to infiltration missions".


    "Also¡­" He smirked. "I came prepared".


    "It''s time to return to old ways". He brought his ingredients out.


    Legs brought his cauldron out on the spot and started concocting a potion, he counted as he put the ingredients into the cauldron at specific intervals.


    "10 Ginseng fruits, Drake Fire leaves, Mud Water leaves, Cafu weed, 10 Elysium seeds¡­"


    Just about a minuteter, with a sizzle, the fire was put off.


    Compared to before, after learning under George for so long, Legs'' skills as an alchemist were now more proficient than ever.


    -----


    Congrattions! You have concocted 3 bottles of the Ultimate Man Potion!


    You have received 50,000 Experience Points!


    ----


    Legs grinned as he held the 3 bottles.


    Though at the lower levels, it was not really too relevant, concocting potions was a famous side quest through which yers get more experience points.


    It was almost the same with the mechanic ss. The more mechanic equipment and robots that they build, the more experience points they are rewarded with.


    This was made to help curb the growing need for experience points as the requirements to level up increase ridiculously with each upgrade.


    Seeing the suspicious potion, Heimdall''s eyes widened in surprise. "Is this¡­?"


    "Yeah". Legs grinned. "It''s the Ultimate Man Potion".


    "It''s the reliable potion that I used when you lot still saw me as a kid". Legs grinned. "Now, the finishing ingredient that we need is the blood of a Skyrim".


    Legs looked ahead at the busy district full of Skyrim warriors.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    ----


    Infiltrating silently, Legs returned with an unconscious Grade E Skyrim. Taking a bit of his blood, he mixed it with the potion that he already concocted.


    A violent reaction came from the mixture but it soon calmed down.


    His virtual interface lit up another notification.


    -----


    Congrattions! You have made upgraded the Ultimate Man Potion form!


    New transformation face detected: Skyrim!


    ----


    "Take". Legs gave them one bottle each. "Drink".


    Edgar held the bottle with a suspicious look on his face. "Is it bitter?"


    Legs chuckled. "Who knows?"


    A few minutester, while a certain Skyrim warrior remained unconscious outside their territory, 3 strangers disguised as Skyrim warriors infiltrated the Skyrim territory without triggering any rms.


    Edgar''s unique psychic powers took care of the rest to enable their smooth infiltration. That same night, Legs'' investigation started.


    Using the bars and inns as a starting point, they started collecting information about any clue rted to the immortals.


    "I never thought I''d get to grab a Skyrim ass one day". Heimdall reveled in this information gathering phase as he perfectly emted the character that Legs instructed him to y as, he enjoyed it.


    ''Just yesterday, I was living my listless life in the Nightmare Army''.


    ''Who knew that I''d be grabbing the ass of an alien from another now?'' He felt a sense of serenity. ''Life is really so random man; I should just flow with it''.


    In the process of emting his character, he got drunk from Skyrim rum.


    While Heimdall had the time of his life, Legs finally got the information that he needed, he whispered to Edgar. "In the Skyrim King''s town, there are reports that his immortals are the elite army".


    "Compared to the immortals in Darvis, those that are here are stronger, most of them are already Grade D Supers".


    "This deters everyone from causing trouble in this town".


    "But thankfully¡­" Legs grinned. "I''m not everyone".


    "What''s your n?" Edgar narrowed his eyes.


    "We cause somemotion". Legs'' eyes gleamed.


    "And then what? The Skyrim King''s immortals have never betrayed him".


    Legs smirked. "That''s because others don''t know the real currency that they crave. Well, I can boast that I''m one man that have that currency which they crave so much. Chill, I just need 1 immortal to pave the path".


    "Through one of them, I can enter the rest".


    Edgar silently looked at Legs. "I trust you".


    A few minutester¡­


    BOOM!


    After a loud sound, smoke rose from a corner of the Skyrim King''s town, shocking everyone present as a rogue hunter attacked in the town.


    Moving rapidly through the shadows like a dark specter, Heimdall caused a lot of trouble as he injured multiple Skyrim warriors in the town.


    "Someone actually has the guts!" The Skyrim warriors were stunned.


    "It''s a Grade C rogue warrior!" They were even more shocked.


    But, shortly after, the Skyrim warriors were angered. "He''s challenging the authority of the King, attack him!"


    "Let''s capture him for the King!"


    As amotion started in the streets, it didn''t take long before the elite secret army of the Skyrim King showed up. Donning metal armor, they looked like samurai of the old era as they charged out.


    Legs tsked. "Damn, this Skyrim King is really tyrannical, managing to tame these mischievous fellows and turning them into soldiers".


    "Well, sorry, your tyrannical rule ends today". Legs smirked.


    Legs targeted a yer.

    One of the yers charged out alongside the others, but even as he got prepared to attack the rogue hunter, he paused on seeing his game interface light up with a strange notification.

    Legs went all out, using up his current daily limit of Experience Points.


    This yer''s eyes widened, they literally started drooling.


    "10¡­, 10 million Experience Points?!!!"


    "I ACCEPT!"


    Legs grinned. "Currency is king!"

    [Main Mission: Follow the direction hints, find the envoy and listen to his offer from the warlords of the gcticmunity.]


    [Mission Reward: 10,000,000 Experience Points!]


    There was no way that a yer during Version 2 of Dominator would have been able to resist a temptation of this gravity, Steamed Bun Extinction was no exception, he dly fell to the ploy.


    ''Even if it''s the devil, I will dly fall for his temptation!''


    "I ACCEPT!" His eyes gleamed with excitement.


    As soon as Steamed Bun Extinction epted the mission, his virtual game interface lit up a new notification.


    [You have been affected by a Psychic Ability: Mental Image!]


    In his mind, Steamed Bun Extinction felt like he was hallucinating.


    He saw a Skyrim warrior floating in the skies with his hands spread like he was an envoy of god.


    "I am the envoy". His voice reverberated.


    Bzzz!


    As soon as the mental image left his mind, on regaining his focus, Steamed Bun Extinction saw a Skyrim warrior that looked exactly like the one that he saw in the mental image. This Skyrim warrior entered a dark alley.


    ''All I need to do is follow the direction hints and find the envoy then I get 10,000,000 Experience Points? Count me in!''


    Without hesitation, he went after the Skyrim warrior.


    As he left the formation of the army, hispanion was rmed. "Steamed Bun, what the hell do you think you''re doing?"


    "Come back! You''ll be penalized in the army!"


    "Cover for me, I''ll be right back, this is important".


    Eavesdropping, Legs was able to catch this tiny conversation.


    This yer no longer hesitated; he went after the Skyrim warrior. As soon as he entered the dark alley, he met 2 Skyrim warriors waiting for him.


    "Do it!" Legs instructed.


    Crushing a token, Edgar activated a barrier thatpletely isted them. In here, not even the energy check of a Grade B Super could detect them.


    Legs finally walked closer to face the yer who cautiously looked at him. "My name is Legs, I am the Army Commander of the Nightmare Army in Darvis, I am also the envoy of his Almighty the Hermit".


    Darvis? What sh*t is that?'' This yer suspiciously looked at him.


    Legs organized his thoughts before speaking next.


    Since arriving at this town, Legs'' brain had never stopped running for once. Like the system indicated, his mission was professional theft, he had no way of snatching the yers from the Skyrim King with force.


    This was why he had to use his brain.


    Since the yers were always kept hidden, he could not see them until themotion from Heimdall. When the yers rushed out, from the shadows, he paid attention to all of them as he observed for clues.


    Anything that could help him in his quest of convincing the yer that he would eventually meet, he wanted to hold the initiative throughout.


    The first thing that he detected was the emotions of the yers as they charged out to fight the intruder.


    Unlike the yers in Darvis, he didn''t detect a particr emotion universal of all yers, that excitement and enthusiasm for battle.


    Most yers in Dominator were nerds from Earth, most of them already dedicated their whole life to the game. They were fascinated by everything about dominator, from the realism to the blood curdling battle scenes.


    Since they couldn''t die, battles were one way that they got to express themselves without any extreme consequences.


    It was a way of getting their blood to flow faster.


    Theck of excitement on the yers'' end to this battle gave Endrick a clue. The Skyrim King kept them due to his power, not due to the benefits that he gave them and this made his job far more easier.


    Also, seeing the pattern of names that they had as usernames, he made a guess. "The yers in Austere are most likely from Europe".


    Unlike Steamed Bun Extinction, most of the yers had names that were remotely connected to western culture and this betrayed their identities.


    This made Endrick remember a famous yer legend from his previous world when the yers finally became capable of gctic travels and the global yer forum was unified.


    Then, there was legends of a where the NPCs could no longer control the yers. Due to not being treated right, the yers nned a revolution against the NPCS, triggering the war of their Version 2.


    ''Was this legendary from my previous world Austere?''


    As Legs made these connections, he unexpectedly triggered the main storyline mission, he was shocked, he never knew he could trigger main storyline missions for 2 entirely different beginners.


    -----


    [You have triggered the Main Storyline Grade A Mission of Austere: Revolution¡­, Extinction?]


    [Mission Details: Unlike other beginners, Austere is under the firm grip of the 2 Kings. They hoard most of the yers in thes to themselves, forcing them to be theirckies and soldiers.]


    [Mission Details: At first, fascinated by the game and everything, the yers paid no attention to it but with time they grew fed up of it. They wanted more, they wanted to have more control over their actions and source of excitement.]


    [Mission Details: This is a special storyline mission that heavily depends on the choice of the yers. They have 2 main choices, to either remain idle and follow the Kings likeckies or revolt and elerate the extinction of the races here.]


    [NOTE: Unlike in Darvis, the decision of the yers will determine the future direction of the storyline in Austere.]

    [Mission Reward: ???]


    ----


    ''Holy Sh*t!'' Triggering this mission was the cream on top the cherry that Legs craved, he instantly confirmed that this was the from his previous life and also knew how to move on from there.


    Legs gazed at this yer with pity and affection.


    "The Hermit is a benevolent God¡­, he extends favor to the oppressed and administers hope to the frustrated".


    "He has seen and heard your frustrations from afar".


    Legs'' eyes showed emotion. "What do you think about bing the savior of your kind? Not just that, but the savior of the whole?''


    "What do you think about bing the savior that will save hundreds of thousands from the tyrannical hooves of the Skyrim King and the Human King?"


    "The Hermit has given you the once in a lifetime chance to join the gctic army, the Nightmare Army. With this army, you will have ess to benefits that the Skyrim King has never and will never make avable to you".


    "You will get a chance to be a special envoy of the Hermit".


    "That way, you get more benefits than normal".


    "You will get a chance to rewrite your story in this world".


    "Do not bend to the whims of a King again, forge your own path!"


    Steamed Bun Invasion had never been one to listen to motivational talks, but Legs'' words were too addictive, they lit up a burning fire in his heart.


    It was at this moment that another interface notification lit up for him.


    [You havepleted Grade D Mission: The Chosen One!]

    ''And to think there''s so many benefits''.


    ''Damn, we were right, the Skyrim King has been scamming us all along!''


    Seeing this yer''s reaction, Legs grinned secretly. ''Mission aplished''.

 Chapter 441 Mission Accomplished

    ?


    "INSOLENCE!" A deep voice roared as the shadow wreaked more havoc.


    "Filthy Rogue Hunter!"


    "How dare you make your way here?!"


    Feeling the energy of the 2 warriors was Heimdall''s cue to leave.


    What pushed him to escape immediately even faster was the fact that both Grade C Skyrim Supers were of 2 sses that he was still yet to be familiar with, the Mage and Psychic main ss.


    "Special Psychic Ability: Telekinesis Barrier!"


    "Special Magic Ability: Magic Barrier!"


    As soon as they emerged, both Skyrim warriors locked the space in an attempt to tighten a cage around the rogue warrior that dared to arrive here.


    Against both of them alone, Heimdall could fight and survive, but he knew that these were just the first. There were more than 3 Grade C Skyrim Supers in the Skyrim King Town, he was not taking any chances.


    "Heimdall Specialty: Drilling Shadow Rod!"


    Boom!


    Heimdall transformed in the air into a gigantic shadow rod.


    This shadow rod with a spiky end elerated rapidly before colliding against the twin barriers. The twin barriers wobbled but they held, Heimdall did not stop though, he kept on charging at the barriers with a strange confidence.


    His confidence was soon proved to not be baseless the next moment.


    Bzzz!


    From another direction, powerful Psychic energy briefly erupted.


    "An enemy Psychic!" Both Skyrim Grade C Supers were stunned.


    Powerful telekinesis energy mmed against the twin barrier the next moment. Adding this force to Heimdall''s gigantic shadow rod, the barrier could no longer hold as with a cracking sound, it shattered the next moment.


    As soon as it shattered, the loud cry of a Raven reverberated in the air.


    Heimdall leaped into the hair like he was already expecting this as he effortlesslynded on the back of the Void Raven, Bran elerated.


    "Good boy". Heimdall patted the Raven as it escaped.


    "An enemy Summoner!" Both Grade C Skyrim Supers were even more stunned. ''Did multiple rogue hunters team up?''


    Not sure of what was going on, the 2 Skyrim Supers refused to leave the town in pursuit of the Shadow Elementalist. Instead, they decided to stay behind, scouring the whole town to confirm that there were no infiltrators.


    Hidden among the numerous warriors, the Ultimate Man Potion proved its superiority again, they easily avoided detection and left the town.


    As themotion died down, the Commander of the elite army finally ordered them as all the yers made their way back to their barracks.


    A certain yer rejoined the entourage as they returned.


    He rejoined after receiving a new mission.


    [You have received Nightmare Army Faction Mission: Recruitment!]


    [Mission Details: As the first envoy of the Almighty Hermit in Austere, spread the goodnews of his quest to others of your kind in the. For every yer that enters the Nightmare Army, you will receive a reward.]


    [Mission Reward: 50,000 Experience Points for each yer.]


    Considering that there were hundreds of yers in the elite army of the Skyrim King, Steamed Bun Extinction was excited, he felt like he finally had a purpose, his gait became steadier as he walked alongside the others.


    With a confident smile on his face, Legs left the town.


    ''The seed has been nted, now is the time to watch it grow''.


    ¡­


    "Huh?" A yer named Aristotle Pochettino looked at Steamed Bun Extinction like he was going nuts. "You joined a new faction? How?"


    "Ok, fish bro, you''ve got to listen to me".


    "Yesterday, while a rogue hunter infiltrated the town and wreaked havoc, I was approached by this NPC that came from a different".<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "A different?" Fish Pochettino scoffed. "You''ve been scammed, hahaha¡­, you were f*cking scammed by an NPC!"


    "It''s not a scam!" Steamed Bun Extinction raised his voice.


    "¡­" Aristotle Pochettino was stunned. "Are you for real?"


    "Yeah, see". He finally let up and revealed the interface notifications.


    Seeing everything, Aristotle Pochettino rubbed his chin in thought. "I don''t know about the authenticity of his im, but if he really is an NPC from another, it''s clear that he has an agenda against the ruling circle of Austere".


    "He clearly wants to take advantage of the division in this, and through using us, he intends to trigger a war".


    "The only thing I don''t understand is how he knows so much about us, and another baffling fact is¡­, what will he gain?" His eyes narrowed. "You can''t tell me that a random NPC will go to such lengths for this for no damn reason".


    Steamed Bun Extinction scratched his head. "I don''t know man, you''re the brain guy, that''s why I came to meet you Afterall".


    Aristotle Pochettino narrowed his eyes. "Unless his gain is the war".


    "My analysis tells me that a stranger will only do this if a war in Austere aligns with his benefits".


    "So, should I do it?" Steamed Bun Extinction asked excitedly.


    "No".


    He deted.


    Aristotle Pochettino continued. "You''ll only do this if the NPC also agrees to give me some rewards, I''ll be aiding you in this recruitment process".


    "Oh, that means you don''t oppose the war?"


    "Why should I?" Aristotle Pochettino chuckled. "Even as I love the storylines and the more intricate parts of the game, I still also agree that the most exciting parts is always the battles and wars".


    "The Skyrim King clearly takes us only as his disposableckies".


    "He doesn''t value us so why should we care for him?"


    "We don''t die, this means that we thrive in war. If you actually look at it objectively, we stand to benefit the most if a war breaks out".


    "We will get the chance to get more missions and experience points".


    "Good". Steamed Bun Extinction was excited.


    That same day, both friends started operation recruiting more yers into the Nightmare Army after Aristotle met with Legs and came to a consensus.


    eaglesnov?1,§ão§® Despite Legs'' estimates, the efficiency of both yers exceeded his expectations. In just 2 days, all the yers in the Skyrim King''s army became members of the Nightmare Army faction.


    In an inn with Edgar, he grinned. "Mission aplished".


    This was when his interface lit up.

    Legs stood up. "It''s time to continue our mission.


    "¡­" He got no reply.


    Turning back, he saw Edgar still seated.


    This Grade C Psychic raised his head to look at him the next moment. "For the past few days, I''ve been thinking. This n of yours, I feel that if it is sessful, it will lead to a civil war in Austere".


    His eyes narrowed. "Tell me¡­, what really is your n?"

 Chapter 442 Civil War

    ?


    "Tell me¡­, what really is your n?"


    Edgar''s tone already told Legs that something was wrong, turning to look at this warrior''s eyes, he confirmed it.


    Doubt and uncertainty reflected from Edgar''s eyes.


    Legs sat back down and silently looked back at him.


    Edgar did not flinch from his gaze. "Have you forgotten?"


    "You are the closest confidant of his Almighty the Hermit, you knew when he sessfully convinced me into epting my destiny as the savior of my".


    "I epted my destiny because I believed that I can save my through yours and his Almighty''s help, that was my only motivation".


    "I''ve supported your ns all the way also because of this motivation".


    "I need you to exin things to me, what is your n?"


    "Without knowing it, I''ll be reluctant to continue supporting you unconditionally. My point stands, I will not do anything that will lead to an eleration of the destruction of my".


    Legs silently looked at Edgar, then he sighed. "You don''t understand the situation of your, do you?"


    Edgar waited for him to borate.


    Legs no longer beat around the bush. "Ok, let me present the situation of your to you in a way that you can understand".


    Austere is like a territory in a forest led by 2 Alpha Tigers".


    "This territory is just one part of a massive forest, and outside this territory is filled with terrible other Alphas that are ready topletely devour them".


    "There is no way for the 2 Alpha Tigers to win and safeguard their lives".


    "In their desperation to find a way, they slowly lost connection with their subordinates and their territory to the extent that without even knowing, they started oppressing their subjects in their quest to find a solution".


    "Their subjects became akin to their ves".


    "Despite all this, they believed that they still have about a few decades to survive and find a solution to their problem".


    "This would have been right in normal situations, but they refused to ount for something, or betterstill a set of people".


    "They failed to ount for the presence of the strange existences in their midst, the immortals". Legs'' eyes gleamed.


    "These are beasts that cannot be tamed, they thrive in freedom and chaos".


    "Fed up by the disregard from the 2 Alpha Tigers, these immortals stirred up a rebellion. Having not expected mutiny from their subjects, the Alpha Tigers were unable to curb the uprising on time, it turned into a full-blown civil war".


    "Even before their enemies could gobble them up, they imploded from within. The 2 Alpha Tigers became extinct alongside their subjects".


    Legs stared at Edgar. "Only the immortals survived".


    "After the extinction of the Alpha Tigers and their subjects, the immortals were given the option of changing forms. Those that were willing changed forms, bing part of the intelligent beasts of the apocalypse".


    "They restarted their journey as beasts".


    "Unfortunately, the original inhabitants of Austere didn''t have this luxury toe back to life as different existences".


    After giving this short story, Legs paused to let it sink into Edgar''s mind, then he finally asked. "Do you understand the significance of my story".


    Edgar frowned. "Not entirely but I understand bits and pieces".


    "The forest is Austere, and the territory of the 2 Alpha Tigers is the Skyrim and Human territory".


    "If this is correct, it means the 2 Alpha Tigers are the Skyrim King and the Human King. I can''t really decipher the other parts of your illustration".


    "Ok". Legs nodded. "I''ll exin".


    "You''re right, the forest is Austere, all your deductions are correct".


    "As for the immortals that I mentioned, they are the same as the immortals that I just recruited into my army".


    "There are thousands of them spread across Austere".


    "Now, the Skyrim and Human King feel that they are using them, not fullyprehending the influence and power that the immortals can harness".


    "They are yet to know the true threats of what they are harboring, it is like granting shelter to Nuclear bombs while having no idea about their destructive potential, the only oue of a scenario like this is tragedy".


    "One day, they will get fed up of being treated so strictly like soldiers and will revolt. This rebellion will result in the civil war that will lead to the implosion".


    Legs pointed at Edgar. "All of you will be devoured".


    "Only the immortals will survive, and yes, I didn''t exaggerate, those willing among them will be able to continue their lives as the triumphant beasts".


    "But¡­" Edgar tried to speak but Legs interrupted him.


    "This is the fate of Austere".


    "I already saw it through my prophecy".


    Edgar deted on hearing that. "Does that mean I stand no chance of saving my from the clutches of death of the apocalypse beasts?"


    "No¡­, that is why I am here".


    "But your actions will trigger the civil war ahead of time".


    Legs nodded. "That is the point of everything that I am doing".


    "That is exactly my n, at least, that way, we stay proactive and have full control over the escting situation of the civil war".


    "You wanted to know my n; this is my n".


    Legs'' face turned serious. "What I''m about to tell you is a secret that I''ve never told anyone else, it''s an ability that I awakened at the age of 15".


    "I awakened it after the arrival of the immortals, it is an ability to grow stronger through the activities of the immortals".


    "¡­" Edgar''s eyes widened in shock.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Those in Darvis are now too small to propel me through the ranks fast enough, this is why I need more immortals under my wing".


    "Through the civil war, they will be exposed to a lot of activities".


    "And through their activities, I will grow stronger for the Cosmic Cataclysm".


    "Edgar, you can no longer stop it, the fate of Darvis and Austere is already intertwined. The best you can do is to help me be strong enough so Darvis can survive the Cosmic Cataclysm".


    "Once we do, I give you my word that the next thing on our agenda will be bringing our full force to Austere to fight the apocalypse beasts".


    "We will do this fast before the civil war esctes too far".


    "It''s a case of win-win, Darvis survives, Austere also survives".


    "So¡­" Legs looked into his eyes. "What do you think?"


    Edgar paused as he went into deep thought, he seemed to be in a dilemma.


    After 6 minutes of thinking, he looked at Legs seriously. "I trust you".

    >Aristotle Pochettino- A lot of us could not persevere, they left us to other beginners but the rest of us stood strong to the challenge. We never gave up<


    >Aristotle Pochettino- We remained persevering after they recognized our strengths as Grade D Supers, forcing us into their elite armies like ves<


    >Aristotle Pochettino- Well, its time, I say no! It''s time to revolt!<


    >Aristotle Pochettino- It''s time to liberate ourselves and the low-grade hunters in Austere from the tyrant ws of the Skyrim King and the Human King<


    >Aristotle Pochettino- You saw the theme of our main storyline mission, it''s time we stop ignoring it''s significance, it gave us a direction long ago<


    >Aristotle Pochettino- We were destined to overthrow power in Austere, at least y a huge part in changing it<

    >Sus Comrade- I feel like we''re doing something illegal<


    >Shonald Trump- That''s it man! Let''s enjoy the thrill of being the bad guys!<


    That day, an unprecedented situation arose in Austere.


    Led by Aristotle Pochettino''s campaign, with most yers in the all joining the Nightmare Army already, receiving secret funding in weapons and equipment from Legs, they mounted their revolution.


    Apart from the 3 main races in Austere who all had their secret stash of yers, there were other yers scattered across the.


    On this day, all the yers showed a shocking level of unity like they had beenmunicating through unknown means as sporadic attacks started.


    Warriors that were not afraid of dying was a menace to anyone.


    When the Skyrim King''s elite army attacked Skyrim territory from inside, leaving a river of blood in their wake, the Skyrims finally understood the severity of the matter, they were shocked.


    "The zombie warriors have gone mad, kill them!"


    "Kill them all!"


    They didn''t just fight, Aristotle Pochettino led the campaign following Legs'' directions. "Warriors of Austere, this is your chance to retake your freedom, your freedom to fight for your own safety".


    "Take it with courage and leave the prison created by the Skyrim King!"


    They didn''t just aim to fight, they aimed to sow discord among the warriors of the main races immediately, elerating the trigger for the civil war.


    It was working, with Legs'' secret help, everything escted so fast that the Skyrim and Human Kings were unable to keep track of it anymore.


    That same day, some warriors started resisting orders after seeing hundreds of theirrades throw away their lives at undying enemies.


    "We''re not ves!"


    "We won''t keep on throwing our lives away for a lost cause!"


    "We say no to Kings!"


    "Let''s fight for our freedom!"


    The pressure and tension did the rest, a civil war started in Austere.


    All hell broke loose!

    For the war in Austere, Legs did not hold back, he went all out, transferring everything that was avable to the yers in his faction in Darvis to those now in Austere.


    The benefits alone were enough to lure all the yers in this.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    For a long time, they were used to being forced into ridiculous targets and missions just to get the least benefits, this change was shocking and for the better.


    To them, a system where they could spend experience points as currency was far better than the money system in Austere where the Skyrim King not only scammed them but overworked them for the scam.


    When presented with this new system where after joining they could not only get ess to ss knowledges and equipment, but also unique specialties like pills, potions, and abilities, the yers fought with gusto.


    [You have triggered Chain Mission: Kill your way to freedom!]


    [Mission Details: You have made your decision to revolt against the rulers of Austere. Make it a goal to thwart their efforts and ns, kill as many warriors under their rule as you can.]


    [Mission Reward: 10,000 Experience Points for each kill!]


    Missions like this activated on various intervals to the yers as the war raged across Austere, and it motivated them to give their all even more.


    "It''s raining Experience Points, let''s milk it to the end!"


    "Hahaha¡­, war is really where we thrive!"


    "So many Experience Points!"


    "Kill!" "Kill! "Kill!"


    The Skyrim King and Human King werepletely caught off-guard. The warriors under theirmand revolting was already shocking enough, what brought even more shock was what they gained ess to.


    The shockingly powerful new equipment, weapons, pills, potions, and abilities that they gained out of the blue threw all their predictions to the wind.


    The different yer guilds in this finally awoke from their hibernation, unleashing their spending power as they wreaked the most havoc across the. They got their revenge for their years of very.


    The yers were surprisingly dominating the war.


    By the time that the Skyrim and Human King decided to adapt, the chaos was extreme. The momentum of the yers was now unstoppable, the civil war could not be stopped and not just that, some of their soldiers were already defecting.


    While the yers killed NPCs excitedly, a certain mastermind benefited.

    ----


    The pro teams in Austere led the spending rankings as they spammed Legs'' interface with notifications of purchases.


    While sitting in his hideout, his experience points kept on rising.


    The abilities that the yers bought became akin to Character Summon Cards after purchased. By purchasing Legs'' beast integration, it gave the yers the abilities to fuse with any Grade D beast that they tamed ahead of time.


    These variations from the usual abilities of the yers disrupted the momentum of the Austere army so much, it gave them problems.


    In the hideout, Edgar watched as the citizens of hiss died.


    Today, a river of blood flowed in Austere.


    Legs made sure to keep his track pure to be on the safe side. After the attack on the Skyrim King City, he only spoke with Heimdall through special means, he was yet to meet him to prevent any connection from being made.


    This was why till today, no one ever suspected Edgar''s rogue hunter group.


    The warriors and higher-ups of Austere werepletely kept in the dark. Objectively, Legs kept his tracks clean and therefore had no hand in all the deaths going on in the but emotionally, he was a bit affected.


    Every second, a warrior with a personality and life was robbed of his life.


    To the yers, they were mere NPCs but to Legs, it was not.


    ''So much death¡­'' He felt a bit conflicted. ''All for what?''


    ''Is this right?''


    Asking this question in his mind, he wavered but he never sumbed. ''The minority needs to die so that the majority can survive''.


    ''This is a world of blood and power, only the lucky and worthy survives''.


    ''Vain sympathy does not work here''. He convinced himself.


    ''It''s either you kill or be killed''.


    eaglesnov?1,§ão§® ''If they don''t die, I won''t be strong enough to achieve my goal, and the Cosmic Cataclysm will wipe all of us out of existence''.


    ''I don''t want that''.


    ''I am yet to achieve my goals, I am yet to know the mystery of reincarnation''.


    He convinced himself as he regained his firm mind. ''I am doing the right thing''.


    Edgar felt even more conflicted than he was but with clenched fists, this warrior epted it. "Their death is for the greater good".


    "Yes¡­, for the greater good". Legs nodded.


    Legs kept track of the war while keeping track of his rising Experience Points. ''If it remains steady like this, I may really level up a grade''.


    Amid his thoughts, this was when a voice floated to his mind from the gray world, it was Heimdall''s voice. ''They found me!''


    Legs jumped to his feet.


    Edgar was rmed. "What?"


    Legs looked around, before he could answer or react, a powerful force of silvery psychic energy burst into this hideout, mming against both of them.


    They could not withstand it; they were knocked unconscious instantly.


    Legs, was captured.


    ¡­


    After what felt like a few hours¡­


    Blink!


    Legs eyes blinked open. On regaining his focus, the first thing that attracted his attention was the big face and the eyes that focused on him.


    The silvery body, the huge frame, it was a Skyrim.


    This Skyrim''s voice was filled with authority.


    "Who are you?"

 Chapter 444 Last Preparations, The Lumberjack

    ?


    ~BERSERKER~


    "Master, orders?"


    "Engage deep-scanning, fish out the worm".


    HUM!


    With a loud humming sound, Berserker entered a high-performance state as its powerful scanners were put to work. They effortlessly prated the blockade of the soil and the interference that the beast deliberately set up.


    At this moment, with his mechanic suit, Champion Onana was hovering above the Great Desert alongside 2 esteemed figures, de and Uranus.


    Before leaving for his off mission, Legs gave de and Christensen another mission to aplish before the Cosmic Cataclysm.


    Unlike 6 months ago, Darvis was now much more fortified.


    After taming all the surviving primordial beasts left of the apocalypse, in a sense, Darvis ceased to be a that was ravaged by an apocalypse.


    Also, it opened up a whole new avenue of strengthening the warriors of Darvis. By taming the primordial beasts of the apocalypse, the wild which took up the majority ofnd in Darvis finally came under their control.


    Through the primordial beasts, they could control the other beasts.


    This was what pushed Legs to the idea of empowering every warrior with these beasts. The same way that he did through the Guardian Komodo Dragon and the primordial beasts, every Super had the innate ability of taming a beast.


    e¦Áglesn?¦Íel Sessfully taming a wild beast relied on the skill of the beast tamer.


    But now, with the primordial beasts on their side, all the beasts of the apocalypse literally became domestic beasts to them.


    Legs tasked de and Christensen with empowering the warriors of Darvis with these beasts. If every warrior in Darvis had a powerful beastpanion, their resistance in the apocalypse would be much tougher.


    Since Legs left, this was what de and Christensen were up to, trying their absolute best to let more warriors in on this truth and empower them.


    Today, they finally decided to empower Uranus and as their master''s only child, of course Uranus would get the best of the lot.


    The target for Uranus was a Grade C Sand Worm.


    ~BERSERKER~


    "Target found!"


    "Sand Worm detected!"


    "Analyzing target¡­, please wait¡­"


    Champion Onana reacted by letting his mechanic suit levitate higher as he finally addressed the others. "I have found it".


    The next moment, a mighty sound reverberated through the desert.


    "ROARRRR¡­!!!"


    The mighty Sand Worm was disturbed and its reaction was an angry one.


    While it roared, the ground opened the next moment as an absolutely gigantic maw with thousands of spear-long and razor-sharp teeth emerged.


    None of them panicked.


    "I will take care of it". de volunteered.


    While Christensen took Uranus up, de dived into the exposed maws of the Sand Worm. As soon as he dove in, the Sand Worm closed its mouth.


    For a few seconds after that, there was silence then the storm followed.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    de''s explosively powerful Pugilist energy literally tore the Sand Worm from inside out, leaving it incredibly injured and paralyzed as it roared in pain.


    With the Sand Worm incapacitated, de finally turned to face Uranus.


    "Come forward to tame it".


    Uranus nodded and walked forward. As he walked forward, he remembered all of de''s lessons. de already taught him exactly what to do, using the example of his uncle getting the Nine-Lives Cat, he went to work.


    As soon as Uranus touched the dying Sand Worm, he was pulled into the battle of the mind. Since he was prepared for it, Uranus'' reaction was impable.


    Their fight was legendary but thankfully, it was mostly a mental battle.


    Having inherited the willpower and life experiences of his father and a lot of higher ups of the ancient Titan Empire, Uranus'' mental power was immense.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The strugglested 5 minutes before ending with Uranus'' victory.


    As the Sand Worm started healing after being fed a pill, Uranus mounted it then he shouted his war cry. "I am ready for war!"


    Despite being only a Grade D Super, Uranus got a Grade C tamed beast.


    Fascinated, while de and Christensen paid a lot of attention to the Titan boy, Champion Onana finally bid his farewell and returned to the secret mechanic workshop where the finishing works already started on the Heavy Cruiser.


    On seeing him, E smiled. "I believe we can finish it today".


    "Let''s give it our all".


    "Yeah". Champion Onana grinned.


    After months of non-stop work, the new Heavy Cruiser by E already stood in its full glory, all that remained was the finishing touches in the more intricate parts of the Battleship like the engine and the power reactor.


    With E taking the lead, work started.


    They spent 5 hours working non-stop on the Heavy Cruiser after which it could finally be presented to the world as thetest Heavy Cruise of the alliance.


    That same day, President Shanks organized a naming ceremony.


    After celebrating the asion with drinks and refreshment, President Shanks took on the duty of naming the newest Heavy Cruiser of the Darvis Navy.


    "This Heavy Cruiser shall be called¡­, The LumberJack".


    The celebrationssted for a long time, it was not just about the naming of the Heavy Cruiser, it was also about how much the had grown.


    After taming the primordial beasts, they could finally expand their base of operations to all corners of the to properly fortify it. From weeks ago, works started on expanding the territory and life options avable during the Cataclysm.


    Now, not only were moreary defense measures made in these locations, more hidden shelters were also created to hide the civilians.


    While the celebrations continued, that evening, another secret meeting of the higher-ups in Darvis was held to be spearheaded by President Shanks.


    President Shanks led the proceedings. "It''s already been more than 5 months since we became allies. ording to Champion Onana''s estimates, the Cosmic Cataclysm will likelymence in just 2 weeks from now".


    "I called this meeting to ask for updates on our preparations".


    "Also to know if anyone of you have gotten message from Legs".


    With that, the meeting kickstarted.


    While the meeting continued, at the Giant Nak Fortress above Darvis, one of the engineers responsible for making this gigantic structure of engineering suddenly woke up from his nap as he started walking around.


    Cleverly evading all the surveince cameras by using maneuvers and hacking technology, he soon found himself inside the control room of the base.


    How he was able to get the clearance toe here was a miracle!


    Inside this special control room, this engineer shut down all theary defense measures installed on the gigantic asteroid.


    Nobody was alerted as he continued his sabotage work.


    At the 2nd hour after he started working, rms rang across the base.


    Wom! Wom! Wom!


    As soon as the new Commander of the Giant Nak fortress ran to his Command chair, the first thing he noticed was the defense measures that were shut down, then he saw what seemed like an army of locusts.


    This was an army of locusts that was already before the gigantic asteroid.


    This army was one formed by giant Bugs¡­, Space Bugs!


    His eyes widened in sheer shock.


    "THEY ARE HERE!!!" He screamed at the top of his voice as instantly, the whole Giant Nak Fortress geared to life.


    After 5 months plus of waiting, grinding, and preparing, the Cosmic Cataclysm was finally here, 2 months early.

 Chapter 445 The Cosmic Cataclysm! [1]

    ?


    "They are here!!!"


    This scream signified the start of the beginning of something, either the beginning of the end or the beginning of something glorious.


    Commander Timbowal of the Giant Nak Fortress was gripped with horror.


    And this horror transmitted through his message to Darvis. Instantly, the as a whole was gripped by the same level of horror.


    For more than 5 months, they all had been preparing for the cataclysm that most of them saw as the end of their existence as they currently were.


    Most of them had no idea if they would win.


    Most of them had no idea if they even stood a chance.


    They could only ce their hopes on President Shanks and Army Commander Legs. ''They''ve saved us before, surely they can do it again right?''


    None of them knew the answer to their queries, they just hoped.


    And now, 2 weeks earlier than Champion Onana predicted, the Cosmic Cataclysm was here!


    It was like wisps of electricity of shock were flowing through the.


    Despite the shock of the sudden announcement, the named Commanders of the different fast response troops that were organized over the course of the preparation for the Cataclysm responded fast, gearing into action.


    They gave their orders with firm authority in rapid session.


    "Activate Code Red!"


    "Flood all the mini war fortresses with their assigned warriors!"


    "Warm up theary defense machines and wait for orders!"


    "Open the shelters, andmence operation Civilian Safety!"


    "I want every warrior assigned to operation Civilian Safety in the streets, now! Make sure every civilian is dragged to the shelters safely before the going gets tough, any civilian death is on your heads!"


    "Move your f*cking asses! Now!"


    Instantly, Darvis geared into action.


    But their reaction was not quite original enough, Afterall, they were not the ones that were directly being confronted by a locust army of Space Bugs.


    In the Giant Nak Fortress, it was an entirely different scenario of tense.


    First of all, most of the defense measures of the Giant Nak Fortress were already temporarily sabotaged by the spy engineer. Not just that, his sabotage also affected the sensors that prevented them from detecting the enemy on time.


    They only detected the Space Bugs when they were already in attack range.


    Commander Timbowal''s nerves andmand abilities were put to the test, but in this nerve-racking scenario, this Commander stood up to the test.


    "Kill the spy!" His order was filled with venom.


    As warriors charged into engineering room where the sabotage was carried out, before they could attack, they saw the engineer smiling at them with outstretched palms in an eerie manner like he finally saw the light.


    "Do not waste your lives!"


    "Embrace it, nothing you do will dent the destiny that is before you".


    "You can''t change your fate, only a God can".


    e¦Áglesnovel`c,om He grinned. "Bow before the new order!"


    BOOM!


    This engineer without hesitation self-imploded.


    With the engineer dead, Commander Timbowal could finally face what was directly before him. He had no idea if there were other infected warriors in his ranks, he had no ideas if there were more spies but he had to live with it.


    There was no convenience andfort in war, he understood this.


    The next moment, a virtual projection of his erged face was broadcasted across the Giant Nak fortress as he addressed all the warriors in his charge.


    "Warriors, fear not about the fact if you are infected or not".


    "Even I have no idea if I am infected, but I have learned not to fear about an oue that I cannot control, I can only face what is before me directly".


    "The main goal of transferring us here is to be the 1st line of defense".


    "We have beenpromised but we can still fulfill our goal".


    He grinned. "Let''s do it!"


    "Let''s show this overconfident Bugs that we are no pushovers!"


    "Engineers, do your best to bring our war fortress back online".


    "As for the warriors, do what you do best and you''ve been preparing for since the past 5 months and weeks, let''s show these damn Bugs hell!"


    "Warriors, ATTACK!" This Commander''s voice boomed with power.


    The next moment, from predetermined ports all over the asteroid turned giant war fortress, warriors charged out as they faced the Space Bugs bravely.


    Without hesitation, the ranged warriors opened fire at the space before them as the impact hit thousands of Space Bugs that led from the front.


    The Space Bugs were not idle, they retaliated.


    At the same time, millions of Common Space Bugs utilized their organs as they conjured up blood and merged it together for a massive ranged attack.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    They unleashed the massive wave of blood at the gigantic asteroid.


    BOOM!!!


    The impact rocked the Giant Nak Fortress!


    Thousands of warriors died from that one attack!


    A gigantic hole was created through the asteroid after that attack but it survived, yet this impact alone made a bigger dent in the minds of the warriors.


    The psychological battle was already tipping towards the side of the Space Bugs, and to add fuel to the fire, the Bug Conqueror finally made an appearance.


    At the very back of his army of millions, his gigantic form hovered.


    For the 2nd time in his life, Commander Timbowalid his eyes on this Cosmic Monstrosity. He was there when Champion Onana saved their lives back in Titania, this was his 2nd timeying eyes on it.


    While he red at the Cosmic Monstrosity even as his heart started wavering a bit, during this time, the Common Space Bugs already closed the distance.


    In their swarming numbers, they descended on the asteroid, then they wreaked havoc, total destruction!


    Commander Timbowal''s hands gripped hismand chair as this continued, he watched as his warriors died but his eyes showed an unwillingness to admit defeat, at least not this early.


    He looked at the time. ''Don''t disappoint me!''


    ''You can do it!'' He clenched his fists.


    Amid his anxiety, he finally heard the soothing voice of the head of the engineering department. "Commander, we''re back online!"


    Commander Timbowal instantly felt like he was soaked in calming clouds.


    They cleared up his tensed-up brain, he regained his confidence.


    This Commander instantly entered resistance state.


    "Thank you, Engineer Bates".


    "If we survive, I''ll personally treat you to dinner".


    Then his tone switched instantly. "Activate all shield generators!"


    "Activate all Special Bug Repents!"


    "Activate the Radiation Suckers!"


    "Activate all our offensive turrets, let''s no longery like turtles".


    His eyes gleamed. "Let''s fight a siege battle!"


    After his others, all it took was just 2 secondster and blue shimmering shields appeared across the enormous form of this giant asteroid.


    The shield blocked the entrance of the Space Bugs outside while trapping those that were already in, in. Then the next moment, a special green mist was burst into the air, a special mixture from George as it affected the Bugs.


    All the Space Bugs trapped in here were weakened the next moment.


    Then what followed was the Radiation Suckers. As soon as these powerful machines like vacuums were activated, they sucked all radiation from the body of themon Space Bugs that were trapped here, weakening them further.


    Then this was when the offense started, the offensive turrets roared to life.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    All it took was 11 seconds, all the Space Bugs trapped in here were wiped out. The shield briefly disappeared, letting other Space Bugs in before closing up again, trapping another set of Space Bugs in.


    The sequence repeated itself, another bunch of Space Bugs were obliterated.


    This could notst long though, this was because in the next set of Space Bugs that were trapped, the Special Space Bugs finally made their entry.


    The setup instantly became much moreplicated and chaotic.


    Commander Timbowal remained firm though. "Attack like your life depends on it because it does, let us make this worth it!"


    They attacked and defended with gusto.


    ¡­


    A minute after the announcement, while the civilians were still panicking as they were evacuated, they started seeing bright red shes in the skies.


    The war of the Cosmic Cataclysm already started in space.


    In their meeting room, Champion Onana looked at the skies with a stern look on his face. "They are really here". He muttered.


    "What''s the n?" President Shanks asked. "Legs is not here".


    Champion Onana looked at him. "You do your best to contact him".


    "As for the rest of us, we mount our first line of defense".


    "It is either us or them".


    As he spoke, this Champion''s blood was already burning hot.


    "Berserker, let''s show these damn bugs how different we are".


    HUM!

    ~BERSERKER~


    "Order Acknowledged!"


    If Champion Onana had a game interface, at this moment, as soon as he entered the cockpit of his mech suit, he would have seen the virtual notification notifying him that he already entered an adrenaline state.


    This warrior could feel his pulse racing, he felt his blood pump faster.


    Sweat gathered on his forehead, he felt his body metabolism increase.


    As soon as the news came, while still in the meeting, General Aztog already contacted all the higher-ups and Captains of the alliance Navy.


    As soon as Champion Onana gave the order, they all came out.


    The Golden Cicada, the Legs Baron, and the Lumberjack led the other Battleships as the gships of this alliance troop that was far stronger than before.


    The Destroyers before them, the Battle Cruiser, and the only Frigate, the Roman Rider, were all warming their weapons and flight systems for the war.


    When Champion Onana''s call finally came now, they all answered.


    "TO WAR!" Through the neural interface, Champion Onana raised the Cutting-Edge Shotgun of his war machine as he roared.


    Then the next moment, the flight system of his mech sted with power.


    BOOM!


    He rose up from the surface of Darvis like a rocket.


    Without hesitation, Champion Onana was already on course to space.


    Behind him, the Battleships did their best to keep up with his speed as they rushed behind, they were all prepared for war. The Cataclysm that they had all been preparing for through months was finally before them.


    As soon as Champion Onana exceeded Darvis'' escape gravity, the first thing that appeared to him was the gigantic shadow of the Giant Nak Fortress.


    Without hesitation, he elerated towards the gigantic fortress.


    On noticing their arrival, Commander Timbowal gave the orders as a huge opening appeared under the gigantic asteroid. An opening that was huge enough for not just Champion Onana, but the Battleships to pass through.


    They all passed through within a matter of less than a minute.


    After a few more seconds, Champion Onana finally arrived.


    CHIRP! CHIRP! CHIRP!


    Hearing the familiar birdlike sounds of the Space Bugs enter his ears through his mechanic suit, Champion Onana felt his blood burning hotter, he didn''t hesitate as he instantly pushed his mech suit to its optimum power state.


    "Special Berserker Ability: Overload!"


    "Special Berserker Ability: Powell Endurance!"


    "Special Berserker Ability: Arcanite- Natural Resonance!"


    "Special Magic Ability: Absolute Domain!"


    "Special Magic Ability: Absolute Domain- Wear and Tear!"


    "Special Magic Ability: Dimensional st!"


    "Special Berserker Ability: Suction Force!"


    A masterwork mech in action was like an unstoppable force of nature.


    HUM!


    Berserker hummed with power as it sucked power from its power reactor to power all the abilities and activities that Onana just activated in it.


    A red and blue corona covered the gray surface of Berserker''s exterior as power and maic energy flowed through the body of this powerful mech.


    Not just maic energy, pure arcane energy also followed.


    As soon as the cloak of the Absolute Domain magic ability activated, Champion Onana no longer stayed in one ce, he charged out to meet them out of the protective bubble of the shield generators.


    This was when the Wear and Tear magic ability also started affecting them yet this was not the real action triggers, the real action triggers soon followed.


    The suction force to the Space Bugs was like a vacuum tube.


    Sucking everything in space towards it, the Space Bugs were attracted towards the powerful mechanic suit like bees to honey, they could not fight it.


    As they were attracted, this was when thest magic ability triggered.


    BZZZ!


    This time, the portal opened was to a strange lush dimension filled with vegetation and illuminated by a bright, lively, and yellow sun.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    It was the power of this sun that was harnessed this time for the st.


    It was like a st from the sun at full power, it was crazy!


    BOOM¡­!!!


    Hordes of Space Bugs were obliterated from this attack.


    This was an intimidating show of power, but considering the sheer amount of enemies that were before them and knowing that there were more powerful ones toe, Champion Onana was yet to feel any satisfaction.


    It was when he saw the 3 Unique Space Bugs finally moving that he was pumped to do more, and more was exactly what he did.


    e¦Áglesn?¦Íel This warrior''s blue and red cybeic eyes glowed with power.


    "Special Berserker Ability: Liberation- Berserk!"


    [BEEP!]


    [BERSERKER has entered the Berserk State!]


    The eruption of power was mighty, gravitic and maic power moved around the body of the mech like guardian angels as it entered its optimum state.


    All the weapons of the mechanic suit wereunched into space.


    This was when Onana''s neural control over his mechanic suit and weapons were put to the test and faced before this test, he stood with his head held high.


    "I shall be the bane of all Bugs!" He growled with power, then he pulled the trigger, including the control trigger of the melee weapons.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Under his control, Berserker turned into a rampaging Apex Predator!


    The mighty Missile Warheads unleashed death and destruction, on his hands, the Transformable Rifle dealt disaster with each transformation and shot.


    The OG-18 methrower spat Hellsfire!


    The Cutting-Edge Shotgun boomed like thunder with each shot as it''s metallic pellets carved huge holes through the Space Bug ranks with impunity.


    The Guass Canon was the real OG of heavy firepower, each shot made it seem like the trumpets just rang to bring this existence to an end.


    They boomed with ferocious power on each impact.


    The Radiation Sucker Gun actively weakened every Space Bug around the rampaging mechanic suit. It''s gigantic muzzle actively sucked radiation energy from the Space Bugs, effectively weakening them while strengthening itself.


    After a minute of doing it, as the 3 Unique Space Bugs finally closed the distance, Onana briefly ditched his Transformable Rifle and grabbed the Radiation Sucker Gun as he pointed it at all 3 Unique Space Bugs.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Prime Resonance!"


    The gigantic gun glowed with power.


    The next moment, all the radiation energy that was sucked and stored into this gun was unleashed in an extremely concentrated lethal manner.


    The Space Bugs lived on radiation but all they had was stronger resistance towards it, after studying them for years, Onana knew that radiation that was strong enough could actively break them apart, they would literally fragment.


    One of the 3 Unique Space Bugs roared in pain as the st collided against it''s huge skin, eating into it ruthlessly at a crazy efficiency.


    It was terribly injured from just one attack.


    Onana''s face was fiery inside his mech suit. "I am no longer the same me that you knew f*cking months ago, I''m changed!"


    He attacked even more.


    His ranged weapons didn''t do all the killing, his sma Sword, sma Spear, Cutting-Edge War Discs, and even the Cutting-Edge Arcanite War Axe joined in on the action as under his control, they ruthlessly cut Space Bugs apart.


    This ruthless eruption of power from Onana could not be contained forever, after 5 minutes in this ruthless destruction state, he finally reduced his output.


    His Mechanic energy was already strained.


    Noting the change, the Unique Space Bugs jumped in for the kill but this was when backup came, backup in the form of the Battleships behind him.


    They unleashed the fury of their main weapon armaments.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The war raged!

 Chapter 447 The Cosmic Cataclysm! [3]

    ?


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Despite theck of sound, the firelights of the explosions were crazy.


    Grade B warriors and monsters were existences that were already close to the peak of power across the cosmos. They could not obliterates yet, but their immense power could surely leave different areas ins ragged.


    They were existences that could already be seen as one-man armies.


    The Space Bug army having 3 existences of this level meant they were always a menace.


    When the 3 Unique Space Bugs made their debut, taking advantage of his superior spec mechanic suit, Champion Onana briefly held them back but this was never a reliable n, he alone could not fight against all 3 of them.


    They knew this and was why they nned contingencies for this, the contingency n was the involvement of the allied war fleet.


    The power of the allied war fleet was truly put to use at this moment.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    With the Golden Cicada taking the lead, weapons boomed with power.


    Battleships were weapons that were built purely for war, preferably space battles and this was one. In this battlefield, the Battleships thrived.


    Positron charges were unleashed towards the 3 Unique Space Bugs, the shockwaves from them wiped hordes ofmon Space Bugs in the way.


    Antimatter energy was discharged to devastating effect at intervals.


    Concentratedser energy were rapidly unleashed at a crazy frequency, burning holes through the hides of any Space Bug unlucky to be in their path.


    The Battleships didn''t just shoot energy weapons, their mounted Artillery Guass Canons also joined the battlefield as the distance to the Unique Space Bugs closed down, propelling their gigantic projectiles at ridiculous speeds.


    Their attacks were focused on the Unique Space Bugs but they wiped out hordes ofmon Space Bugs in the process from the shockwaves of their attacks.


    Also, they were not alone.


    The arrival of Champion Onana and the war fleet didn''t exactly turn the battle on it''s head, what it instead did was relieve a lot of pressure from Commander Timbowal who didn''t hesitate to up his game with this relief.


    Champion Onana''s arrival wiped out all the immediate Space Bugs that were threatening to invade through the shield generators of the Giant Nak Fortress.


    With the threat no longer as immediate, they could better focus on coordinating their offense and defense to make it more seamless and destructive.


    Commander Timbowal was at the top of his game.


    "Activate the dimensional stabilizers!"


    "Make sure that no Unique Space Bug can directly teleport in here!"


    "Then give them hell!"


    "Overload our weapon systems, they can take it, the Giant Nak Fortress was built for rigorous wars like this, let''s use it to its full potential".


    "ATTACK!"


    BOOM¡­!!!


    Lightning-fast attacks wereunched into space.


    Even as more hordes of Common Space Bugs were being massacred, the main target was still the Unique Space Bugs. These guys may be unimaginably powerful, but abination of certain factors could still inconvenience them.


    At this moment, there were tens of thousands of different surface-to-space missiles and thousands of artillery turrets installed across the asteroid.


    Activating all of this firepower potential could create something dangerous, something explosive and destructive.


    Pairing them with thebined attacks from Champion Onana and the war fleet, the progress of the Space Bugs invading Darvis stalled and as expected, the Unique Space Bugs were left livid from this oue.


    Before taking any drastic step, they warned.


    "Surrender before the power of the new order!"


    "Resistance is futile".


    "No matter how much you resist, the Bug Conqueror is the Emperor and the Emperor is always the winner, submit to the inevitability of fate".


    Champion Onana could recognize the Bug Conqueror speaking through them. ''Is this another cursed Psychic technique?'' He attacked harder.


    Seeing that the prospective servant races were not acknowledging their words of mercy, the Unique Space Bugs reacted angrily and became unbridled.


    All 3 of them worked at the same time.


    One of them focused on gathering Psychic energy, while the remaining 2 taking advantage of the huge amount of metal making up their body frames, pulled out different weapons from their metal bodies to attack.


    It happened instantly and the effects showed even faster.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    The Unique Space Bugs retaliated, tiny concentratedser energy was shot out at such a rapid frequency as some of the shields of the Battleships was breached. Not just that, the Psychic attack was released.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    There was no sound but the impact seemed like a p of gods!


    All of the Battleships were hit at the same time, their shield generators absolved the damage but it could not stop the mental aspect of this energy. Bypassing multiple defenses, the powerful psychic attack murdered in cold blood.


    Entire crews manning the Battleships became braindead from the attack.


    That was just the prelude, the Unique Space Bugs dug in deeper. Alternating between their different affinities and the uniqueness of their metal bodies, they unleashed unpredictable attacks that dealt a lot of damage.


    Psychic sts rocked the Battleships.


    Mechanic attacks punched holes through their gigantic metal hulls.


    Elementalist attacks mmed against them with power, further worsening the state of their metal hulls.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    They also unleashed magic attacks as arcane power wreaked havoc.


    Then, taking advantage of their Command and Summoner abilities, they finally called the bunch of chaotically fighting Special Space Bugs together.


    Together, they pushed at the defense of the Giant Nak Fortress with gusto.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    The humans and Nak warriors manning the first line of defense of Darvis gave their all to defend the without a fear of death.


    Faced against tens of millions of Cosmic Space Bugs that were out to harvest their lives, they did not let their basest instincts of fear take over them, instead they became overwhelmed by a sense of duty and protection to the vulnerable ones.


    The first line of defense of the alliance strained to hold strong.


    All the measures that were theorized and implemented for the past 6 months were put to use, yet they were unable to push the enemies back.


    Even as the casualties increased among the Space Bugs, the casualty among the human force also started increasing at a worrying frequency.


    Despite the deaths, they refused to yield.


    General Aztog took helm as the pressure increased. "This is what we have been preparing and waiting for through months, we can''t let up now".


    "We are just starting!"


    "Let''s show them what we are made of!"


    "Fight till you die! That''s our motto here".


    "Any Space Bug that goes through us represents more danger to the vulnerable ones behind us, we can''t let them be plunged into this danger".


    "Give it your all!"


    They indeed gave it their all as the intensity of the space battle increased even more. At a certain point, they were able to minutely push the Unique Space Bugs and the incredible army back but it was still mostly a stalemate.


    For 2 hours in Space, this battle raged non-stop.


    Throughout this time interval, the Bug Conqueror perhaps feeling too big to interfere never moved as he lumbered at the back of the army of Space Bugs.


    Seeing this gigantic beast always, Champion Onana slowly sank into despair.


    While others saw a bit of hope in their situation, he saw none in it.


    ''After months of preparation, this is the best that we can do?''


    He was horrified. ''The best we can do is stalling and fighting the army of the enemies to a stalemate when their leader is even feeling reluctant to join in the fun?'' The more he thought of it, the colder his heart felt.


    As the battle progressed, his fear grew. ''Legs, where are you?''


    ''This is where we need you the most''.


    A few minutester, as the battle progressed, despair slowly started setting in. ''We really can''t do more than this and the Emperor is yet to join''.


    His face twisted in reluctance and disbelief.


    e¦Áglesn?¦Íel He despaired. ''We are doomed''.


    The Unique Space Bugs kept on pushing aggressively for another hour, but led by Champion Onana, the allied war fleet was able to hold its first line of defense.


    By now, it was already 3 hours and a certain apex predator was finally annoyed, space itself seemed to move as the Bug Conqueror finally moved.


    His gigantic eyes like continents focused on the tiny creatures resisting.


    "INSOLENT SLAVES!" His voice boomed with power.


    "BOW BEFORE THE NEW ORDER!"


    "THIS IS MY ERA!"


    He didn''t rush into the attack, he simply unleashed a long-ranged attack, an attack directly aimed at the Giant Nak Fortress.


    CRACK!


    There was no sound but there were visible cracks in space as the thin and extremely concentrated fire beam elerated like aser beam.


    They tried to shoot it down but nothing could stop it.


    It drilled effortlessly into the surface of the gigantic asteroid.


    The asteroid jerked, then from inside, a red explosion surged out like an avnche of molten magma, it was a bright work of destruction in space.


    The very core of the Giant Nak Fortress was obliterated.


    The fiery explosion destroyed a lot of the working defense measures and offensive measures, the Giant Nak Fortress was stripped naked of its armor.


    Just one attack from the Bug Conqueror and this asteroid was vulnerable.


    The Unique Space Bugs could be counted on, they did not hesitate.


    Rushing in since the Giant Nak Fortress already lost its invincible status, and with their army of tens of millions of Common Space Bugs apanying them, they were able to brute force their way through the first line of defense.


    The Giant Nak Fortress survived only 3 hours; it was no more.


    Everything happened so fast, by the time that it happened, thousands of warriors of the allied forces already died, Champion Onana was shocked.


    His eyes widened in horror; he looked around.


    "Where is Legs???"

 Chapter 448 The Cosmic Cataclysm! [4]

    ?


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Giant Nak Fortress became akin to an erupting volcano.


    The attack from the Bug Conqueror was too powerful and it damaged too many important and vtileponents, triggering a chain reaction as more explosions and destruction rocked the integrity of the gigantic base.


    Commander Timbowal''s reaction was impable as he tried to minimize the damage across the asteroid through his orders, but their effects were minimal.


    This Commander watched his base slowly implode from inside and there was nothing that he could do, he ordered none of his warriors to escape though, neither did he escape as he grabbed his weapon and armed himself.


    He watched with a stern look on his face.


    The first line of defense of Darvis was crumbling.


    "¡­" Thousands of warriors manning this asteroid watched it die.


    Thousands of Nak warriors and Superhumans watched in silence.


    A warrior with a scar running the length of his face watched with a stern look on his face as he saw hisrades being devoured by the mighty explosions.


    The explosion spread towards him with unstoppable momentum.


    Staring death on the face, tons of thoughts went through this warrior''s mind.


    ''It''s still morning, I bet little Joe is still fast asleep''.


    ''It''ll be at least 3 hours more before he wakes up''.


    Thinking of his son, his lips twisted as a bitter feeling engulfed his heart, then the beautiful face of his wife soon filled his thoughts.


    He could picture himself caressing her onest time, giving her onest kiss, enjoying her embrace onest time, yet it was all in his head, he had nost time for all those. Death¡­ was here.


    As the explosions expanded to his location, instead of giving in to his despair and resigning himself to death by dropping his weapon, this warrior refused.


    "I refuse to give up". He muttered.


    "I swore to be the first line of defense, I''ve not finished my work".


    "Even in the face of death, I''ll still defend Darvis".


    This Grade D Elementalist no longer hesitated, he ignored the expanding explosion that would soon engulf him and focused on the Space Bugs.


    Even as the explosions rocked the Giant Nak Fortress, led by the Unique Space Bugs, the Bugs never let up as they added fuel to the already burning fire.


    Their concentrated attacks elerated the destruction of the asteroid.


    Not just that, some Space Bugs were already bypassing the asteroid to go to Darvis'' atmosphere as they were soon caught in the''s gravity.


    Seeing all these, this warrior made hisst stand.


    "You shall not pass!"


    His Elementalist energy erupted as he entered berserk mode, at the face of death, his wind control had a breakthrough. The wind under his control became more lethal than ever before as he killed at a crazy frequency.


    Hundreds of Space Bugs fell under his tyrannicalst-ditch rampage.


    Despite his rampage though, he could not cheat death, the explosion soon engulfed him in it. Even as he burned, as his flesh melted and peeled out of his body, he roared in pain and continued attacking aggressively.


    "FOR PLANET DARVIS!" He roared.


    He attacked till death.


    Other numerous warriors like that man were across the Giant Nak Fortress as they did their best to kill more Space Bugs before going down.


    Their resistance was brave but it was still unfortunately futile.


    2 minutes after the Bug Conqueror''s attack, the Giant Nak Fortress imploded in itself, it became a bright red explosion in space.


    The Giant Nak fortress was no more.


    The Bug Conqueror''s powerful voice reverberated again, somehow, he could beat thews of physics and nature to make his voice heard in space through a Psychic ability of his.


    "BOW BEFORE THE NEW ORDER!"


    "THIS IS MY ERA".


    "SURRENDER AND BE ONE OF THE FIRST RACES IN MY EMPIRE".


    CHIRP! CHIRP! CHIRP!


    With the obstacle gone, the excited Space Bugs charged towards the atmosphere of the with gusto, they tore everything blocking their path apart, they were literally unstoppable until they met it.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    As the Giant Nak Fortress went down, to prevent being caught up in it''s explosion, all the Battleships including Champion Onana''s Berserker had to give way. Just before it''s total death though, Champion Onana did something.


    "Trigger Ultimate Defense!" He ordered.


    In Darvis, the Support A.I that John created responded, whirring into action as it activated a host of sequences at the same time.


    [Order Acknowledged!]


    [Triggering reaction in the Giant Nak Fortress¡­]


    [Sequence Activated!]


    [Arcanite Hull harnessing Darvis'' gravity!]


    Just before its total destruction, the Giant Nak Fortress boomed with power.


    BOOM!


    [Arcanite Hull triggering Maic Resonance!]


    [Maic Resonance Triggered!]


    [Fusion of Gravitic and Maic Energies Achieved!]


    [Ultimate Defense Established!]


    Bzzz!


    The Giant Nak Fortress imploded, but in its ce, Champion Onana''s masterpiece, the 2nd line of defense was activated.


    The Space Bugs charging into the immediately encountered a resistance, a resistance that was formed from the delicate and incredible fusion of maic and gravitic energies both from Darvis and the asteroid.


    They triggered a chain reaction of immense force that now ground at the beasts trying to invade, the Space Bugs suffered the wrath of these 2 apex powers.


    The same way that they invaded in droves, in the same way did they start dying in droves, over eighty thousand Space Bugs were ground to dust by the incredible power of maism and gravitybined.


    The first 2 Unique Space Bugs were also caught in its domain.


    These 2 powerhouses were not ground to dust but grounded by this incredible fusion of energy, they suffered terrible injuries as a ton of their metallic body was turned into scrap metal from the sheer power.


    The momentum of the Space Bugs was stalled, again.


    For the immediate moment, Darvis was safe.


    This safety was not about tost long though, this was because after observing this strange energy field around the for some time, the Unique Space Bugs made their decisions and collectively started attacking it.


    The ultimate defensive fusion of maic and gravitic powers wobbled.


    Champion Onana scowled on seeing this.


    Apparently, the defensive capabilities of this Cutting-Edge piece of technological product were not on par with its incredible offensive capabilities.


    Since the air to surface turrets and missiles installed all across Darvis could not reach space, they were at this moment of the cataclysm still useless. Champion Onana had no choice but to keep on attacking with the Battleships.


    20 minutes more of this and the 2nd line of defense was breached.


    This time, there was no third line of defense.


    The Space Bugs finally invaded Darvis.


    As they invaded, hundreds of thousands of war turrets installed across the finally opened fire as they killed hordes of Space Bugs but it didn''t mean much, there were more than enough Space Bugs to take on their attacks.


    Fear gripped Darvis, the skies became dark as the shine from the sun was blocked by the convergence of so many Cosmic Beasts.


    It felt like Darvis was facing another apocalypse.


    Champion Onana became desperate. "Where is Legs?!"


    "We need him now!"


    "We can''t afford to wait anymore!"


    "At this rate, we''ll lose without the Bug Conqueror even needing to personally make a move!" Champion Onana felt distressed.


    At his urge, Christensen finally broke off from the others. Inside his office in the headquarters of the Nightmare Army, he knelt and with his hands sped together tightly, he prayed.

    Being sshed with water woke Legs up, again.


    Struggling a bit in the special chair where he was strapped, Legs'' eyes soon cleared up enough for him to see the familiar unusually huge Skyrim.


    Staring deep into his eyes like he was looking for the truth hidden in there, this Skyrim let his Grade B energy loose as he questioned for the umpteenth time.


    "Who are you?"


    "¡­" Legs stared at him.


    This was when his game interface lit up another notification.

    Seeing him loose focus while he questioned him, this powerful Skyrim warrior fought the urge to explode in anger as he unleashed a crisp resounding p to his cheeks that forced him fully awake.


    "You look at me when I ask you questions!" His face was stern.


    The p was stinging but Legs'' face remained nonchnt, he fought the pain as a lot of things went through his mind.


    Till now, he was still baffled.


    ''If I am not wrong, this is definitely the Skyrim King''.


    ''Where did I go wrong? How was I busted?''


    ''I made sure to be careful and to always cover my tracks''.


    ''Well, that is not important, what is even more important is that the Cosmic Cataclysm already started. Whatever I want to do, I need to do it fast''.


    ''Where is Edgar and Heimdall? Are they even still alive?''


    Different ns and contingency ns flowed through his head but he soon scrapped them all, none of them were practical enough to his satisfaction.


    If he wanted, by straining his body to get a simple tap on his gray apple tattoo, he could escape to the gray world but the question was, then what?


    He was still far from achieving his goals foring to Austere, and even if he was, the Cataclysmmencing already changed his ns.


    He finally changed his mind. ''Let me listen to his questions this time''.


    Finally getting his focus, the Skyrim warrior secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "Who are you?"


    "What is your motive foring to Austere?"


    "How are you able to manipte the Undying warriors?"


    "Where are you from?" He narrowed his eyes threateningly.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Looking into the eyes of this Skyrim warrior, the warrior intended to read his thoughts but ironically, he was the one who read the Skyrim King''s thoughts through his eyes, he smirked secretly. ''You''re not skilled enough to read me bro''.


    ''My game interface indicates that the civil war is still on''.


    ''As it is, I am the only one who can stop it''.


    ''Perhaps, I can use this and their desperation to end the civil war to my advantage?'' His eyes gleamed.


    ''Perhaps, that is the main reason why they went to such lengths to capture me''. He added one and two together in his mind, then he came to a crazy conclusion and n. ''In the end, my brain alwayse to the rescue''.


    ''It''s now or never''.


    Without taking his gaze away from the Skyrim King, he adjusted himself in the chair to look morefortable then he dropped a bomb nonchntly.


    "I can save Austere from the apocalypse beasts".


    "¡­" The Skyrim King froze.


    He was confused. "What?"


    -----


    You have essed your game inventory!


    ----


    Like Legs expected, his storage ring was already confiscated but he had another storage that his captors had no idea of, the game inventory.


    As soon as he essed it, he pulled out a pencil.


    As soon as it appeared, he grabbed it with his teeth before throwing it at his right arm, right at where his gray apple tattoo was. The pointed end of the pencil touched his tattoo, then the next moment, the inexplicable happened.


    Bzzz!


    Legs disappeared!


    "¡­!" The Skyrim King was rmed.


    Talking into hism, hemunicated with his allies as they arrived at different rming conclusions. Before he could leave though, something even more inexplicable and shocking this time happened.


    Bzzz!


    The captive was back and he was no longer bound.


    Legs sat cross-legged with a pipe on his mouth, he took a suck and puffed out the smoke. "Like I said, I can save Austere from the Apocalypse beasts".


    "All I need is an audience with you and the Human King".


    "We need to negotiate terms".


    The Skyrim King looked at him with horror. "What did you do?"


    Legs smirked. "A little trick to prove a point to you".


    2 minutester, Legs was seated in a room with the 2 strongest individuals in Austere, the Skyrim King and the Human King.


    "Stop the Civil War". The ck human said to him with a stern look on his face, the Human King was a Mechanical Pugilist.


    Legs smiled. "I will stop it if we cane to terms".


    "What terms?" From his tone, his personality was clearly a fiery one.


    Legs smiled on hearing that. "At this point, you both should know that you have only a few decades left to live before the apocalypse beasts run you all over".


    "What if I propose that I can help you save your?"


    "¡­" Both Kings narrowed their eyes.


    Legs'' smile widened. "Of course, it''s not without a prize".


    "In exchange, I need your help to fight a powerful enemy".


    "What if we refuse?" The Skyrim King asked.


    "Well, I look for other allies. Afterall, it''s not me fighting a Civil War or is being faced with the threat of extinction soon".


    "You''re our prisoner!" The Human King''s voice boomed.


    "Not anymore". Legs raised his hands for him to see with a smile.


    Legs looked at the both of them seriously. "Since you both don''t have much time before your is gone, I will tell you my n".


    "It''s a simple trade by batter win-win subject, you help me, I help you".


    "This is my n¡­"


    By the time that Legs finished exining his n, both Kings were bbergasted. "Y-you really are a warrior from another?"


    The tone at which the Human King asked this really left one thinking what horrifying exaggerations Legs told them, he no longer sounded like the captor here or a negotiator at all, he instead sounded like a believer.


    A believer that had been indoctrinated into a certain belief.


    "So, what are your decisions?" Legs looked at them with a smile.


    "¡­" The Human King turned to look at the Skyrim King.


    "Well, if what you say is true, then our fates our intertwined".


    "We are willing to be allies for our future".


    Legs grinned. "It''s nice working with you".


    His virtual game interface lit up.

    >Gctic Influencer: You have a lot of charisma and influence; you now have a great amount of control over the rulers of 2 entirely differents. Your Charisma and Charm has increased<


    ----


    Legs heaved a deep sigh of relief after seeing this.


    He didn''t sigh in relief just because he managed to get the help of 2 Grade B Supers, his sigh of relief was also attributed to his increased negotiation ability.


    With increased charisma and charm, people would be more inclined to listen to him and to also respect his opinion whenever he gave an idea.


    He needed it at this moment because a lot of crazy ideas were already flowing through his head, and he needed a tform and help to execute them all.


    First, he needed to get more power.


    And again, he had nowhere to seek help from about this other than his future knowledge. ''Even with the Skyrim King and the Human King, we stand no chance against an enemy of the Bug Conqueror''s level''.


    He could feel the pressure. ''I really need to think out of the box''.


    "So, what is your n for now?" The Skyrim King asked.


    Legs looked at him. "I am still thinking about it".


    "Ok, we''ll like sometime alone to discuss some things".


    Legs nodded. "Works fine with me, I also want to use this time to see mypanions, Edgar and Heimdall, I hope they are fine".


    "Yes, they are". The Skyrim King pped.


    The next moment, a Skyrim warrior entered this room to lead Legs to where his friends were kept. As Legs walked after the Skyrim warrior, the different thoughts in his head slowly converged and started gaining coherence.


    ''Since I already confirmed that Austere is the same with the one in my previous life where the yers overthrew the NPCs, elerating the aftereffects of the apocalypse, then that means¡­'' He paused.


    ''Does that mean the Mad Honey Badger is also here?''


    ''If I remember correctly, the Mad Honey Badger is the only beast with a Supreme Talent in this, that means it''s open for the taking''.


    Legs finally entered the room where Edgar and Heimdall were kept.


    On entering inside though, he was stunned. Instead of being taken to a prison where hispanions were held in chains, to his surprise, they were inside a luxurious room with white lights enjoying red meat and fine wine.


    Legs was shocked. "Such double standards, I thought you guys were suffering somewhere in a prison or even worse being tortured".


    Seeing him, Heimdall grinned. "You guys came to an agreement?"


    "How did you know?"


    "Hehe, they came to question me and Edgar first". He munched on another huge lump of meat. "We simply told them that you are in charge of everything that we knew nothing".


    "And they believed?"


    "Of course not, but what choice do they have?"


    "They refused to torture us though and even if they did, I''m a Shadow Elementalist and an assassin, they have no hopes of breaking my mental defense so we were fine with that".


    "Beforeing to meet you though, I told them that you have a backer more powerful than anything they ever know of and should treat you appropriately".


    He smiled. "I guess they heeded my warning".


    Legs was surprised, heughed. "They heeded only after I showed them a demonstration of what I can do, anways, thanks man".


    Legs walked closer to give him a buddy hug.


    This was out of his personality but he just needed it to clear his brain.


    After everything that happened for the past few days, from the civil war, to being captured, to the cosmic cataclysm, and now to new ns, he felt a bit overwhelmed, he just needed to cool down his brain.


    After sitting down, Legs faced Edgar and asked a question. "Have you ever heard of the Mad Honey Badger?"


    Edgar lifted his eyebrows. "The legend?"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Huh?" Legs was confused.


    Edgar sat straighter. "You mean you don''t know of the legend? The myth?"


    "¡­"


    "Conan, the Mad Berserker?"


    Legs scratched his head. "Who is he?"


    "He''s the Mad Honey Badger, that''s his more unknown nickname, everyone knows who he is as the Mad Berserker".


    "Every rogue hunter identifies with him because he is the number 1 Rogue Beast among the apocalypse beasts, he just doesn''t give a damn".


    "He is just a Grade C Honey Badger but he has the courage of a Mammoth, he fights both humans, Skyrims, beasts, and every existence that crosses his path".


    "He does not discriminate".


    "He has no notion of ally, he''s a one-man team".


    "He''s the only beast who bravely shes against not just the Grade B Beasts of the apocalypse, but also sh bravely against the Skyrim King and Human King".


    "His madness is renowned and like no other in our".


    By the time that Edgar finished, Legs was already nodding. "Yes, that is the one, that is definitely the one".


    "What do you want him for?"


    "I want to kill him". Legs dropped the bomb suddenly.


    "¡­!"


    "The Cosmic Cataclysm already started and I believe that he is my ticket to break my limits and get more power to go save Darvis".


    "Kill Conan, the Mad Berserker?!" Edgar was stunned.


    ¡­


    Inside a room, the 2 Kings in Austere stood looking out through the window as they watched the civil war rage on.


    "What do you think of him?" The Skyrim King asked.


    "My instincts didn''t tell me that he was lying, at the same time, he does not care or give a sh*t about our, he''s all in for the benefit".


    "I expected as much". The Skyrim King nodded.


    "He''s a man of benefits but he is also not one to make unnecessary enemies. If we help him, I believe that he will reciprocate and help us stop the civil war".


    The Human King turned to look at his Skyrim counterpart. "Imagine a time where we can live freely without worrying about the apocalypse beasts anymore".


    "It sounds unrealistic to me".


    "That''s the thing, that''s why I want to agree with him".


    "At the end though, if he can''t fulfill his promise, nothing stops us from trying our very best to assassinate him".


    The Human King nodded. "Let''s do this".


    A few minutester, they met Legs again. "What is your n?"


    "Before leaving for Darvis, I need both of your helps to hunt down Conan, the Mad Berserker".


    The Skyrim King silently looked at him. "Done".


    Legs was stunned. ''I didn''t even need to convince them, nice''.


    He smiled. "Thanks".


    That same day, after preparations, they left to the wild of Austere.

    [You have triggered Grade C+ Mission: Single Battle Against the Mad Honey Badger!]


    [Mission Details: You have discovered Conan, the Mad Berserker of Austere. Like is his custom, due to his inability to be a Grade B Beast, the Mad Honey Badger has grown a reputation of challenging worthy foes who he thinks can push him enough to stimte his potential.]


    [Mission Details: Conan''s reward for any Grade C or Grade C+ warrior or beast who can defeat him in singlebat is one of his Supreme Talents.]


    [Main Mission: Fight and Defeat Conan, the Mad Berserker in singlebat.]


    [Mission Reward: 1 of Conan, the Mad Berserker''s Supreme Talents.]

    [Mission Details: You have discovered the iconic beast special to Austere like the primordial beasts of the apocalypse in Darvis. He challenged you to a fight, but you always have the option to hunt him down.]


    [Main Mission: With your allies, decide to hunt down the Mad Berserker.]


    [Mission Reward: 1 of Conan, the Mad Berserker''s Supreme Talents.]


    ----


    Legs furrowed his brows after triggering both missions.


    ''2 different missions with the same rewards''.


    ''So, making my choice should depend on the pros and cons of each mission''.


    ''Or¡­, I can switch the flip and decide toplete both missions consecutively? If Iplete the first mission first, do I have the opportunity toplete theter?''


    ''Also, as it isbelled as a Grade B Mission, I doubt it''ll be as easy aspleting as the first, I feel like taking that one would be jumping into a pit that I cannot pull myself out of''.


    Thinking of how he was about to cheat the game system to get more rewards, and the risks associated with the 2nd mission, he began to grow hesitant, what if the game detected it?


    In the end, he decided to go for one of the missions but he needed advise.


    Legs turned to his 2 new core advisors in Austere. Facing the Human King and the Skyrim King, he inquired.


    "To get to my goal, I need to do either of 2 things".


    "Either I fight and defeat the Mad Berserker in singlebat or with all of your help, I ambush the Mad Berserker and kill him".


    "Achieving either of these 2 missions can help me in getting my goal".


    As soon as he spoke, the ck Human King red at him. "It''s not advisable to kill the Mad Berserker".


    "Conan, the Mad Berserker may be a menace in Austere but he is one existence that keeps the pride of the apocalypse beasts against us".


    "His immense strength and vitality is a show of power on their part".


    "The Alpha beasts of the apocalypse may not like him but they don''t want him to die either or else they would have ganged up on and killed him themselves".


    "They kept him alive for a reason".


    "If we suddenly decide to gang up on and kill Conan, their reaction would not be friendly". He warned. "If pushed too far, the Alpha Beasts here are more than capable of disrupting whatever n you have in store for both of us".


    "Besides". His brows raised. "What gave you the confidence that you have the required skills to fell a monster like Conan?"


    "Even with your help, I can''t?"


    The Human King smirked, that was Legs'' cue.


    "I will take your advice then; I''d stick to the first option".


    "Before leaving, first I need to take care of something".


    Considering the situation that his allies in Darvis were in, at this moment, Legs was under a lot of pressure but he forced himself to calm down.


    To be at his best when facing the Bug Conqueror, he had to stay calm because it was simply the best way for his brain to be in its optimum state.


    Besides, despite the urgency, what he needed to take care of was important.


    Locking himself up inside a room, Legs sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. Then he essed his game interface before checking his experience points stash, he grinned on seeing his current bnce.


    ''It''s time for some spending''.

    ----


    Seeing thest notification, Legs palmed his face. ''Still not enough''.


    Despite spending a few billion experience points in one go, it was still not enough to push him to the edge that he needed to be a Grade B Summoner.


    "Perhaps if I was able to level 2 times more, I would have reached the threshold".


    "It doesn''t matter though". He grinned. "That''s why I have a contingency n, the Mad Berserker would do it".


    ¡­


    "Hehe¡­, a worthy opponent".


    "Human, I give you only 1 challenge".


    "If you can defeat just 1 of my 9 lives, I will reward you for pushing me that far".


    Legs grinned. "epted!"


    That day, an explosive battlemenced in the wild of Austere.


    A battle of extreme intensity thatsted 2 straight hours.

    [Overall Control Level: 90%]


    ----


    As soon as he fused with Predator, Legs instructed his other beasts to give their all from the onset. From the mountain where he met the surprisingly small Honey Badger, they fought to the hills, then to the valley.


    This time, Legs did not shy from asking for Lucky''s help due to pressing time. With all this help, despite the incredible power and vitality of the Honey Badger, Legs ended up as the victor after 2 hours of an intense battle.


    As soon as he injured the Honey Badger, lowering it''s health points to below 10%, it epted defeat and almost at the same time, Legs felt something.


    He felt the energy within his body begin to rumble.


    The Honey Badger grinned. "Good battle".


    "I have bestowed upon you one of my Supreme Talents".


    The energy rumbling within Legs became even more turbulent, knowing what was going on, he heaved a deep sigh of relief as he looked at the Honey Badger.


    "Good battle".


    This was when his game interface lit up.

    >Honey Badger Armor: In battle, your skin gains a metallic sheen, randomly increasing your defense between 1000% to 3700%<


    ----


    Seeing all 3 Supreme Talents, Legs was bbergasted. ''There are some Grade B Supers who have no Supreme Talents, but this mother*cker really has 3 at a go and they are all this OP!''


    The first andst talents bbergasted him the most. ''Holy sh*t!''


    ''A f*cking reincarnation cycle?!''


    ''A +3,700% increase to defense?!'' He felt like his brain was glitching.


    ''No wonder this little critin is such a menace in battle''.


    ''Also''. He shuddered as he thought of it. ''I doubt he really went all out and utilized all his talents; I doubt I can even kill this guy after a year of battling nonstop, he''s a literal tank!''


    Despite not knowing the specific one among his long list of colleagues to envision the creation of this monster, Legs was grateful for it now.


    ''Bless you brother''.


    Amid Legs'' inner bbergastedness, his game interface lit up again.

    His increasing vitality was the rumbling feeling that Legs experienced.


    On the spot, Legs started experiencing significant changes. His skin tone started changing, morphing into the color of bronze even as he felt like his muscles were being tightened and handled by a godly massager.


    His physique became more prominent as he felt more muscr.


    He didn''t necessarily feel more power flow through his body at this moment, what he instead experienced was a feeling of invibility.


    His eyes shone in understanding. ''I finally understand''.


    ''So this is what gives the Honey Badger it''s confidence and mad bravery, this feeling of invibility, this feeling of being unstoppable''.


    ''I feel like I can take on all the Grade C warriors in Darvis and survive''.


    That was how confident in his defense that he suddenly felt.


    And this was when his game interface lit up again.

    ----


    Clenching his fists tightly, Legs induced a sonic boom.


    BOOM!


    The 2 Kings of Austere stared at him with fascination.


    "You changed". The Human King muttered.


    "Yes, I changed". Legs turned to look at them. "I know this is not part of our agreement, you''ve helped me a lot but I need 1 final favor".


    "¡­" They paused.


    The Skyrim King''s face turned cold. "We don''t do favors, we never helped you, it was just a game of trade by batter, I help you, you help me".


    "Yeah, I know, that''s why I''m asking for this final one".


    "Afterall, you all want me to be at my best when we finally start facing our greatest threats to the face, we need any advantage we can get".


    The Skyrim King scowled. "What do you want?"


    "When I first arrived at your, my first quest was information gathering". He looked him in the eye. "I learned that you have a very important heirloom from your ancestors, a Cutting-Edge Summoner ss knowledge".<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "No!" The Skyrim King rejected before Legs couldplete it.


    Hepleted it nheless though. "I want it". Legs smiled.


    "I said NO!"


    Legs was prepared. "This help will not go unpaid, after we win the battles of Darvis and Austere, I promise to pay you back in full".


    "Besides, you have no Summoner talent in your powerful enough to make use of it yet, why not let me use it and you''ll get paid for it in the end?"


    "To me, it''s a fair game of win-win".


    The huge Skyrim red at him. "I hate you".


    "Thank you".


    A few minutester, Legs was standing alongside the 2 Kings of the in a hidden underground base known to only 2 of them in the whole.


    This secret base stored and protected only 1 treasure, a huge book with a thick cover and magical runes going through it, it looked ancient and archaic.


    "That is the Cutting-Edge knowledge". The Skyrim King indicated.


    Legs nodded with a bright smile on his face.


    Going closer, he finally touched the gigantic book, he traced his hands through the ancient contours of it''s hard cover as he felt excitement course through him. ''A Cutting-Edge knowledge atst!''


    In normal circumstances, even the most talented of geniuses needed to take years just to finish a Cutting-Edge knowledge but Legs was different from them all. Unlike them, he had a game interface.

    On the spot, he broke his limits and broke through, bing a Grade B Demi-God Summoner. The Skyrim King and the Human King were bbergasted.

    "What¡­, just happened?!" The Skyrim King asked.

    Chaos, a reflection of the shock immediately erupted in the global yer forum of Austere as a single topic dominated the headlines.


    >Fastest-fingers-in-the-west: Holy Sh*t! I can''t believe it! I finally got the invite to join the growing Nightmare Army faction<


    >Fastest-fingers-in-the-west: Damn! Aristotle Pochettino was right, joining the Nightmare Army is really the best way to change our fate in this<


    >Trump''s mah Dad: Tell! How did you get the prompt? I got mine from a Skyrim! Can you believe that?!<


    >Fastest-fingers-in-the-west: I got mine from a random human NPC<


    >Multiple yers are typing¡­<


    All across Darvis, an unprecedented situation took ce. Instantly after Legs became a Grade B Demi-God Summoner, he no longer felt as restricted, he finally decided to implement most of his ideas.


    And like he expected, the Human King and the Skyrim King were not the only higher-ups of the hunter union who secretly kept yers as secret armies.


    Through both King''s help though, they were able to pressure all the others.


    Originally, the Skyrim King and the Human King simply saw the yers as a special group of canon fodder soldier troop but Legs'' abnormal desire for the yers changed the equation, it raised their importance.


    This was why the 2 strongest individuals in Austere finally requested for them, and no one dared to oppose them, the location of all the yers was revealed. This aided Legs'' situation a lot.


    By spreading certain keywords through different NPCs under the 2 Kings in Austere, and through Aristotle Pochettino''s help, he was able to organize all the yers despite the civil war so that they could get the prompt.


    This way, all it took was 15 minutes and every single yer in Austere became a part of the Nightmare Army faction.


    Also, for the first time, the yers were no longer treated as ves.


    Legs'' interest on them now changed the situation.


    It was while this happened that his game interface lit up a notification.

    In Legs'' vision, he saw a silhouette of the Mad Honey Badger appear. He seemed dead but the next moment, his eyes glowed red again as he rose up from the dead, appearing stronger than ever before.


    Legs'' eyes widened in shock. ''I gained this messed up talent through the special character summon card?!'' He was ecstatic.


    ''Also, 1 billion Experience Points?! That''s crazy!'' He was shocked.


    All these came at just the right moment when he needed them the most, Legs did not dwell on it too much though, he created another mission on the spot, sending the global yer forum into even greater frenzy.


    [You have received a Special Grade C Mission connected to Darvis'' Main Storyline Mission: Recruitment!]


    [Mission Details: Darvis has been gued by a great disaster; they need reinforcements. Obey the call of the Nightmare Army and join as part of the reinforcements, join the fight against the Bug Conqueror!]


    [Main Mission: Aid in the fight as much as possible!]


    [Mission Reward: ???]


    The yers did not hesitate much, as soon as they understood what they were about to get into, instead of being deterred, they were hyped.


    >Leroy Jenkin''s PP brother: Damn man, we''re being taken to another?! Space travel so f*cking early? Damn you, I''m in!<


    >Suger Daddy99: Refuse this mission at your own risk, I''m in!<


    As thousands of yers epted this mission, seated in the room, Legs looked at all hispanions including the 2 Kings in Austere.


    "I need some alone time now".


    "Everyone should wait for my signal".


    All of them had solemn looks on their faces, they looked like they were about to enter an intense battle that was capable of changing the direction of their future.


    "Ok". They all left the room.


    This was when Legs finally tapped the gray apple tattoo on his wrist.


    BZZZ!


    As soon as Legs arrived at the gray world, he detected multiple of the gray mist balls pulsing, clearly the other members of the gray world gathering were desperately praying to the Hermit for help.


    Aaron was patiently waiting for his arrival since.


    Legs walked up to him directly. "What do you think? Will it work?"


    This old Elementalist scratched his head. "Why didn''t you consult me before taking the drastic decision? I''ve never thought in that direction".


    "In fact, how the hell did youe up with such a crazy n?"


    "The progression of the Cataclysm gave me no time to consult you first, I needed to act fast to implement all the ideas that came to me".


    Aaron''s face turned serious. "If I''m getting this right, you want to exert yourself, pulling the power of the gray world to literally transport all the warriors in Austere to Darvis to aid in the war?"


    "Yes". Legs nodded. "The Skyrim King and the Human King already agreed, everything else that follows that is easily feasible".


    "What I want to know is, is it possible?" He looked at the Elementalist.


    Aaron kept quiet as a lot of thoughts went through his mind. "Maybe".


    "Maybe?"


    "Yeah". He looked at Legs. "From what I''ve understood of the mechanism of the gray world, despite having it''s own power, it still partially relies on your mana to work which means you need a lot of it to do something of this scale".


    "Alone, I doubt you can do it but you have me".


    "Adding your mana points with mine, I believe we can do it".


    Legs looked at him for 2 seconds. "Then let''s do it".


    ¡­


    That day, an unprecedented situation urred in Austere.


    From the NPCs to the yers, tens of thousands of them knelt as they prayed to an unknown existence supposedly living in a gray world of immense powers.


    Even the beasts of the apocalypse who witnessed the sight were spooked.


    With Legs taking the lead, everyone else followed his cue.


    "Your Excellency the Hermit¡­"


    "the one who rules in the gray mist¡­"


    "the unmatched ruler of the gray world¡­"


    "bestow me with your blessings¡­"


    "grant me the resilience to witness the journey between worlds¡­"


    Starting from Legs, a mighty power descended with incredibly oppressive intent as gray mist spread before covering all the people that were kneeled praying.


    It took a few seconds to charge due to the sheer number of passengers.


    Then, the next moment, the impossible happened.


    BZZZ!


    Tens of thousands of warriors were teleported out of Austere!

 Chapter 454 Dramatic Entrance!

    ?


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The tentacles of the Cosmic Cataclysm spread all across Darvis.


    Chaos, death, and desperation filled the as they aggressively defended themselves against the unstoppable invasion of the Space Bugs.


    The 3 Unique Space Bugs were the ones leading the deadly invasion.


    It was already more than 5 hours since the invasion started.


    The Bug Conqueror not jumping in to finish it instantly proved a point, he didn''t want to annihte them, what he truly wanted was subjects in the new Empire that he hoped to build in the Roronoa Star System.


    Despite him not making a true appearance yet, during this time, Darvis was already pushed to desperation.


    Immediately after the fall of the Giant Nak Fortress, Darvis was pushed into a cycle of constant defeats. With the Unique Space Bugs leading the charge, they were unstoppable, they steamrolled their way into the.


    Thousands of brave Superhuman warriors already fell to the invasion but those still surviving never gave up hope, this was because of their superiors.


    The actions and bravery of their superiors spurred them on.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Prime Resonance!"


    "DIEEE¡­!!!"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The powerful mechanic suit boomed with power as Champion Onana pushed it to its limits, draining it''s reserves to call upon even more power.


    Inside Berserker, Champion Onana had his sole focus on the Unique Space Bugs, intent on disrupting their rampage and even killing them if possible.


    ''Killing even one of them can be a moment of breakthrough''.


    ''We need just one moment of breakthrough to gain the momentum to turn the tides in our favor, we can''t lose!''


    ''I can''t lose!"


    ''Losing here means losing to Delzebub, I can''t!''


    ''I can''t die yet, there''s still so much that I''m yet to achieve!''


    ''I need to win!''


    He called on even more power as the powerful hybrid mechanic suit kept on booming aggressively with power, the Battleships supported him.


    Having breached the twinyers of defense of Darvis and having invaded into the already, the Battleships were forced back into the atmosphere of the as they now defended it from inside.


    Again, the Golden Cicada with General Aztog led the proceedings.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Their numerous weapon armaments boomed with power as they flooded the atmosphere with explosions. Tens of thousands of Space Bugs died every minute, the only problem was that more of them invaded into the.


    The Cataclysm was no longer just restricted to space and the atmosphere.


    As more Space Bugs invaded into the, they soon got to the surface of the as they wreaked havoc, fighting against thend armies of the.


    Among thend armies were the yers also giving their all for Experience Points. Compared to Version 1, the yers were stronger now.


    They could better hold themselves inrge-scale wars.


    The Sword God led Team Blue Autumn as they gave their all to fighting the Space Bugs, each kill gave them experience points and every milestone kill gave them even more experience points which motivated them to do more.


    [You have killed a Grade D Common Space Bug!]


    [Each member in Team Blue Autumn has been rewarded with 14,000 Experience Points!]


    [You have acquired a rare item: Space Bug Shell!]


    >Space Bug Shell: This special metal is derived from the shell of a Space Bug. It is valuable, when given to a good smith can be turned into a great armor<


    ¡­


    [You have teamed up with a group of NPCs against a Mini-Boss Special Space Bug!]


    [Contribute more than 10% effort in killing this Mini-Boss!]


    ¡­


    A few minutester¡­


    [You have contributed in the killing of a Mini-Boss Special Space Bug!]


    [Each Member in Team Blue Autumn have been rewarded with 200,000 Experience Points!]


    The rewards that the yers got from the war were incredible but they had one main doubt, the war was not going as expected.


    Horny Assassin was baffled. "Is Dominator about to pull a surprise on us?"


    "Is Darvis intended to lose this war?"


    "Besides, where is Legs? Did he escape the already?"


    "We''re losing!"


    If the yers were feeling this way, the NPCs felt even worse. To most of the Superhumans and Nak warriors, they were experiencing the worst and most traumatic day of their lives.


    Every minute, they saw theirrades die.


    The war was that intense.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    They fought, living in eptance that this was probably theirst moments alive. The mental trauma alone gave them daylight nightmares, blood flowed like a river across Darvis, it was a true cataclysm.


    The asional voice from space did not help their confidence either.


    "BOW BEFORE THE NEW ORDER!"


    "THIS IS MY ERA!"


    "SUBMIT TO ME AND LIVE IN THE ERA OF THE BUG CONQUEROR!"


    "ALL THAT RESIST¡­, SHAL DIE!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The attacks only increased in intensity as time went on.


    Theck of sess got to a point that even Champion Onana finally started to lose hope. ''Do we really stand no chance?''


    ''And I thought I could finally achieve something after discovering the metal, life is so unpredictable''.


    ''I don''t want to die yet''.


    ''Neither do I want to be a ve to a Bug''.


    ''I don''t want to lose!'' He was slowly losing it.


    ''I want to win!''


    Despair, resignation, a sense of defeat, these became the dominant emotions among the warriors fighting. To most of them, they already lost.


    Only a certain warrior still clung on tight to hope.


    In the Presidential Vi, President Shanks clenched his Elementalist staff as he looked at Christensen kneeling before him and praying.


    ''Legs, where are you?!''


    ''We''ve always survived due to your miracles!''


    ''We need them most now or else¡­!''


    He paused and turned to look at Christensen.


    After dozens of minutes of praying, this Summoner''s eyes finally snapped open and they shone with ecstasy. "He finally answered!"


    "He ising".


    President Shanks jumped, feeling relief. "Where is he?"


    Christensen grinned. "He is here!"


    BZZZ¡­!!!


    Across the battlefield, a strange phenomenon was suddenly detected.


    The airspace twisted and squeezed like a higher power was acting on it, and from the fractures left in space, gray mist started seeping into the atmosphere.


    Seeing this familiar gray mist, all those that were rted to the gray world gathering already started feeling relief as they waited for its oue.


    The gray mist attracted the attention of everyone, including the Bug Conqueror who remained outside Darvis, watching everything.


    Then it exploded!


    BOOM!


    With the eruption of the gray mist, ck portals were opened in the air.


    A familiar face was the one to arrive first.


    Legs'' famous white hair and hazel eyes were striking, and his new aura that erupted on his arrival attracted even more attention to himself.


    "It''s the Army Commander!"


    "He has be a Grade B Summoner!"


    The yers and NPCs reacted alike in different ways.


    That was not the end, Shadow Master Heimdall soon followed him in with a blonde-haired Grade C Psychic. This was still not all, what followed soon after was what really stole the show in this moment.


    It was a dramatic entrance.


    While they watched, tens of thousands of warriors stepped through the teleportation portals into Darvis. The sheer size of the army was eye-catching, but what attracted the most attention were 2 warriors.


    The ck human and the white warrior of a strange race who both had an aura that equaled the strongest warriors in this battlefield.


    They were all stunned. ''2 Grade B Supers!''


    No one answered their thoughts.


    The Skyrim King and the Human King were fascinated. "So, this is another? Darvis¡­" They felt surreal.


    They soon turned serious though as they observed the battlefield.


    Legs only needed one sweep of this battlefield with his eyes to understand the current situation, then he ced his eyes on the 3 rampaging Unique Space Bugs. "They are our targets!"


    "ATTACK!"


    Legs finally made his debut in the Cosmic Cataclysm!

 Chapter 455 A Battle To The Death!

    ?


    Legs'' arrival with his new army triggered ripple effects.


    This reaction was in 3 distinct phases. The reaction of the warriors in Darvis was mostly that of relief and hope, they finally regained hope on Legs'' arrival. As for the Space Bugs, they felt threatened for the first time.


    While these 2 were the most dominant reactions, there was another reaction among the yers, that of shock and fascination.


    "Holy Sh*t! Are these yers from another?!"


    "How is this possible?"


    "Is the Army Commander already capable of Space travel?"


    "What does this bode towards us? Will there be a new hierarchy in the Nightmare Army?"


    "Will we be the seniors to these new yers?"


    While the yers in Darvis reacted this way, those that came from Austere had an entirely different reaction. "We did it!"


    "So, this is Darvis!"


    "Man, when I saw the mission, I knew that it was something serious but I never expected the skies to be bloated with literal metal bugs!"


    "Damn, this is giving me horror movie vibes".


    "It doesn''t matter though, let''s fight!"


    "This is a treasure trove of experience points!"


    The yers did not need Legs'' prompt at all, as soon as they came, they only needed a moment to make their decision and they charged into the streets.


    There were more than enough Space Bugs for them to kill, perhaps too much.


    While they did, the warriors from Austere were also not idle. General Aztogmunicated with their Commander as soon as they arrived, as together, they finally mounted a proper fightback against the Space Bugs.


    Like General Aztog, the Commander of the Austere armies was an experienced Commander who had led countless battles against enemy beasts.


    "Pugilists, to the front, form defensive blockades!"


    "Summoners, stay in the middle and send your beasts forward to assist the Pugilists, make sure that no Pugilist is left isted against the Space Bugs".


    "Elementalists, Psychics, Mages, and Technician Mechanics, stay behind and spam the beasts with your strongest abilities".


    "Elementalists and Mages, form defensive barriers".


    "Mechanics, send your machines out to attack".


    "Psychics, I need telekic attacks and mental attacks sting on all cylinders, I hear that they are also organic beasts".


    "Coordinate with the support from the Battleships".


    Instantly, chaos disappeared as calm and coordination finally entered this battlefield, the Space Bugs became the disorganized in an instant.


    Attacks were spammed into the atmosphere as the counterattack began.


    "Technician Mechanics, work on restoring theary defense measures".


    Even as the war became more even, the scrapped war turrets started being restored to working condition at a rapid pace. The effects of thisrge army reinforcement were instant but it was not the real change at this moment.


    It was the charge led by Legs that took all the limelight.

    ----


    On the spot, Legs started going through a transformation.


    As soon as he integrated with Predator, following the change, he amalgamated with a 2nd beast for the first time. Instantly after the incredible fusion, his muscles squirmed as a remarkable transformation took ce.


    His Grade B Summoner energy became even more turbulent and aggressive.


    By the time that the transformation wasplete, an entirely new beast was already in ce. This time, it was a beast far more gigantic than any of his individual contracted beasts, it was a gigantic Raven.


    A gigantic Raven with pitch-ck scales reminiscence of Predator''s thick Nightmare scales, the glowing red eyes of this Raven showed intelligence.


    Legs''s intelligence glowed through the eyes of this Raven.


    "SCREEECH¡­!"


    The next moment, it screeched loudly as it was followed by a mighty st of pure bestial energy, the mana in the air instantly turned chaotic.


    A huge crater was left in the surface of the beneath where the transformation took ce in the air, Legs no longer hesitated.


    He red at Champion Onana.


    "It''s time for oureback!" The Gigantic Raven spoke.


    "Skyrim King, Human King, the 3 Unique Space Bugs are our target".


    He directed one look at space, his incredible sight allowing him to see through thousands of kilometers to where the mighty Bug Conqueror hovered in space. "Let''s make this f*cker regret underestimating us!"


    "Let us kill his 3 eldest Bugs!"


    His eyes gleamed then taking the lead, he pped his wings.


    BOOM!


    The attack began, it was a battle to the death!

    "SCREEECH¡­!!!"


    The Nightmare Raven screeched as it pped it''s massive wings.


    The 3 gigantic Space Bugs could not react, in an instant, the gigantic Raven was already onto them. Mid-flight, a powerful energy erupted with the Raven as the center, forming an incredible connection to the Void Dimension as a Void Domain was formed.


    In this Void Domain, the void energy avable for use became abundant. Having amalgamated with Bran, Legs now felt in his element as his eyes glowed calctively.


    That was not all, as soon as the golden void energy erupted out, it was soon followed by a pitch-ck energy that seemed toe directly out of the deepest abyss.


    This energy reeked with aggressiveness and menacing intent, it reeked of Predator.


    Fueled by the aggressiveness and bloodthirstiness of his beast, Legs activated the new ability of the Nightmare Raven, the Dark Berserker as the dark energy fluctuating became concentrated.


    BZZZ!


    Legs entered a special state of aggressive and bloodthirsty flow.


    His eyes became blood-red, the Nightmare Raven now seemed like a mad Berserker as Predator''s aggressiveness flowed through it. This was when the first attack was finally unleashed, the Void st as it erupted out with a mighty sonic boom apanying it.


    BOOM!


    From the Void Domain, aggressive void energy sted out, pushing all 3 Space Bugs backwards even as they suffered injuries. This was not all, it was just the beginning.


    After entering the Dark Berserker state, activating another darkness affinity ability, Legs was able to harness Predator''s incredible defensive scales to an even higher level, making them akin to the scales of a real Nightmare Dragon, his current defensive stats were crazy!


    This was when the 2nd attack followed.


    "Winds of Death!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    It was an attackbination of both void energy and darkness energy.


    Thebination of these 2 powerful energies formed a whirlpool of rampaging energy as they sted against all 3 Space Bugs. They screeched loudly in pain as the rampaging energycerated injuries through their huge metal bodies, metallic fragments were flung everywhere.

    ----


    5 seconds of unlimited critical hits was a lot and Legs was not about to waste it. Activating the Wing Barrage skill, the extremely sharp feathers of the Nightmare Raven became projectiles as heunched them at the 3 Space Bugs at crazy velocities.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Legs started his attack with rapidbos, giving the 3 Unique Space Bugs no time to react as they were briefly suppressed but this suppression could notst long.


    Afterall, they were Unique Space Bugs.


    "SCREEECH¡­!"


    Angered, the Unique Space Bugs finally retaliated.

    You have been hit by a Mechanic Ability: Projectile Attack!

    +70% Additional Damage Received!


    ----


    Legs coughed blood after receiving this tripartite attack and that was where it ended, the incredible defense of his draconic scales held. Also, thankfully, he was not alone.


    He worked hard to get allies, and now they all joined in on the attack.


    Due to his hasty evolution in Austere, he was yet to check the new status of his beasts to know how powerful they were but he knew something, they were all now far more powerful than they were before this moment of the Cosmic Cataclysm.


    "Special Ability: Destructive Hurricane!"


    Ak activated his upgraded hurricane ability as the lethal wind picked up the steam, rolling with power and momentum to form a hurricane far bigger than anything that he could do previously. This hurricane caught all 3 Space Bugs in its domain.


    That was not all, this Emperor of the Steep Hills did not juste alone, he came with his army. The strongest ranged beasts of his army joined the war from range where they were safe to attack with nonchnt impunity.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Attacks sted at the 3 Unique Space Bugs from literally every direction.


    Warp Prime also joined the action as he spammed attacks against the Space Bugs, everything was happening so fast yet there were others who kept with this tempo.


    Even as Warp Prime also joined in on the attack, the Skyrim King and hispanion also joined in. Levitating in the skies, the Skyrim King''s psychic energy and presence increased at a rapid pace as he finally unleashed his first attack.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Mind to kill them all!"


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Mental Obliterate!"


    BOOM¡­!!!


    For a brief moment, all 3 Space Bugs reeled in pain as mental explosions went on through their minds, the power of the Skyrim King was shown with this one disy.


    The Psychic sts messed up their minds, and another warrior took care of their bodies.


    The Human King''s ripped body was engulfed by an aggressive yellow Pugilist energy as he charged through the air at the 3 Unique Space Bugs. As soon as he closed the distance, he did not try tomunicate with them, he let his fists do the talking.


    "Special Pugilist Ability: Optimum Physical State!"


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Giant Might!"


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Giant Rage!"


    His yellow Pugilist energy erupted with even more power and aggressiveness.


    "Special Pugilist Technique: 2 Fists- 99 Punch!"


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    The Human King''s ck hands moved with such speed like they were a glitchingputer, his hands were so fast that only afterimages and static was seen. As for the power behind his punch, the Unique Space Bugs experienced them firsthand.


    The 3 Unique Space Bugs were immediately put on the back foot, forced into the defensive. 3 of these warriors already pushed them this far, yet, there was a 4th.


    Champion Onana felt like he was dreaming, everything happened so fast.


    One moment, he felt despair as Darvis was at the verge of being turned into a ve but the next moment, Legs arrived and everything changed so fast.


    He grinned. ''Legs never disappoints!''


    Darvis still has hope''.


    ''I still have hope of beating Delzebub!''


    He no longer hesitated; he pushed his mechanic suit to its optimum state again.


    "Special Berserker Ability: Liberation- Berserk!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Prime Resonance!"


    Champion Onana pushed himself to his very limits, drawing on his deepest reserves of mana as he empowered the mechanic suit, instantly turning it into a monster.


    As all of Berserker''s weapons floated out again, Champion Onana soon gained control of them and without hesitation, he pulled the trigger, unleashing hell on Darvis!


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Bullets spat out aggressively like the opening of a fast-flowing stream of water.


    Fire from the methrower incinerated everything in it''s path with arrogance.


    The ranged weapons battered the hell out of the 3 Unique Space Bugs.


    The melee weapons carved lethal holes through their bodies, the Unique Space Bugs were strong, but faced against opponents of this caliber, they wobbled.


    It was a gruesome fight as the 3 metallic Bugs were slowly carved apart, their metallicponents being dissected one at a time, they entered a phase of suffering for the first time since the Cosmic Cataclysm started as Legs led the proceedings.


    The proceedings of this battle brought a much needed hope to Darvis.


    "The tides of this war have changed".


    "We''ve suffered enough, it''s finally our time to dominate!" The warriors were ecstatic. "Let''s show these metal Bugs what we are made of?!"


    Despite the sheer number of Space Bugs invading the, the disy from the defenders remained dogged. yers, NPCs, leaders, they all cooperated together in these 10 minutes of truth as they beat the Bugs back for the first time.


    Millions of Space Bugs were killed within these 10 minutes.


    The impact of Legs'' arrival was felt across the whole, the situation of the war was already changing, he seemed to be on the path of creating another legend already.


    This was when the attention of an annoyed Emperor was finally attracted.


    From Space, the continent-sized eyes of the Cosmic Horror red at Darvis. He watched as his children were ughtered, he watched as his champions were butchered.


    He was annoyed¡­, he was angered.


    "INSOLENCE!"


    His voice boomed through the minds of everyone present.


    "UNGRATEFUL BASTARDS UNABLE TO ACCEPT THE SHIFT IN THE EPOCH".


    "YOU ALL SHALL DIE!"


    For the first time, the Bug Emperor finally moved for real. One movement propelled it through hundreds of kilometers like it was nothing, he rapidly closed the distance to Darvis in record time, giving them no time to react.


    "YOU ALL SHALL DIE!" He repeated in an angry tone, then he did it.


    "PSYCHIC PARASITES: RELEASE!" His voice boomed like thunder.


    BZZZ!


    Instantly, an unprecendented situation happened across Darvis.


    All the Psychic Parasites¡­, were released!

 Chapter 457 Death! [1]

    ?


    [You have been affected by an ability: Psychic Parasite- Release!]


    [You have been paralyzed!]


    [Your body has been taken over by the Psychic Parasite!]


    [Warning! Psychic Parasite has triggered a mutation!]


    [Resisting Mutation¡­]


    [Resistance too weak¡­, initiating mutation¡­!]


    Alongside the warriors from Darvis and Austere, the yers gave their all into fighting, harvesting experience points with each kill as they aimed toplete different milestone missions that they activated.


    In one of the smaller battlefields, a squadron of yers fought.


    "Show the power of the Blue Brook Guild to the world!"


    "Let''s show the Guild Leader what we''re capable of!"


    "Let''s show him that we have the talent to be the next Horny Assassin, let''s win this war!"


    They gave their all and fought with gusto, activating different abilities, chaining them to triggerbo moves as they resisted the Space Bugs.


    The fight was going well, this was until one of the yers suddenly changed.


    "Roar¡­!"


    This yer suddenly transformed as his head changed, turning into that of a hideous Bug as the next moment, he turned on his teammates.


    Chaining 3 of his strongest moves into smooth attackbos, he injured 3 of his teammates as this instantly destabilized their attack formation. The Space Bugs that were attacking them took advantage of the situation and pounced on it.


    The yers did not withstand it, they were devoured instantly.


    "Arghhh¡­!"


    Their screams as they faded into white particles were what reverberated in their absence, spooking any warrior that witnessed the scene.


    This strange urrence was just the first of many.

    [Resisting Mutation¡­]


    [Resistance too weak¡­, initiating mutation¡­!]


    ¡­


    On the battlefield, multiple warriors, not just the yers were affected by the strange power rampaging everywhere as they mutated into fearsome monsters.


    Their mutation was not the greatest threat, the greatest threat was the uncertainty, warriors not knowing who among them would mutate any moment.


    Everything happened suddenly, it was hard to react to it appropriately.


    Across a battlefield spanning an entire, the effects of this sudden mutation in the battlefield was felt across everywhere and it triggered death!


    "Arghhh¡­!" Screams reverberated across the battlefield.


    The death rate of the forces representing Darvis immediately spiked by an astonishing 90%, blood flowed everywhere like a river.


    It was still just a few seconds after the Bug Conqueror triggered the ability, but finally, the higher-ups of the resistance army could finally react.


    Seated in themanding chair of the Golden Cicada, General Aztog had a fearsome look on his face as he observed everything that went on.


    His face turned grim. ''This is bad''.


    ''Most of these warriors are hesitant to kill the Psychic possessed warriors because they still saw them asrades just a second ago, such a sudden change in perspective is too abrupt for them to adapt to''.


    ''That is why the kill rate of the Psychic possessed warriors is so high!''


    ''They can''t do it alone; we need to help''. He made his decision.


    "Transmit my orders to all Commanders". General Aztogid off his orders through his assistant. "Command all Battleships to take out the mutated warriors, don''t let them cause more disruption in our ranks".


    General Aztog waited 2 seconds and not hearing any word from his assistant, he turned over to look in an annoyed manner than he was shocked.


    "Wang?!"


    "Roar¡­!!!"


    General Aztog''s Grade D Assistant already mutated, turning into what seemed like a hybrid between a Space Bug and a Nak warrior.


    General Aztog froze, he could not react to what he was seeing.


    The disbelief made this veteran warrior to lose his guard, he could not protect himself as the mutated warrior pounced on him but just before he could get him, the sound of a gunshot reverberated loudly.


    BAM!


    The mutated warrior dropped lifelessly to the ground the next moment.


    General Aztog froze in shock, he stuttered. "W-Wang?"


    "General, we need your orders!" The leader of General Aztog''s protection team, a Grade C Shadow Assassin who pulled the trigger to kill the mutated warrior reminded the General as he walked closer to him.


    "This is war, we need to react appropriately".


    General Aztog finally nodded, he still couldn''t take his eyes off the dead body of his assistant, he still felt like everything was a dream.


    This was when his reaction finally dawned on him. "This¡­"


    "This is exactly how all the other warriors on the battlefield have been reacting, even I fell victim to it, how do I remedy this?"


    He was put in a dilemma but he quickly pushed it to the back of his mind as he rushed back to his Commanding chair. Before he could give any order though, he froze as the support A.I of the battleship showed red lights.


    General Aztog looked closer, he was shocked. "What?!"

    [Resisting Mutation¡­]

    ----


    Legs felt his brain freeze in shock even as he lost control of his body.


    ''How?!'' He thought in shock.


    ''When?''


    ''The game interface never told me that I was infected!''


    ''What does this mean?''


    He could feel his consciousness still inside his body but he could no longer control his body. A different consciousness now controlled it, and at this moment, they were in a sort of mental battle to seize final ownership of the body.


    Even as this mental battle raged, he was already starting to mutate.


    Legs was horrified. ''I can''t let this happen!''


    ''I have to fight it!''


    He tried to make his brain more active by spamming it with chaotic and aggressive thoughts, a battle of the mind started on the spot.


    Legs was not the only one suffering from this effect, Champion Onan also did. From inside his mechanic suit, shock stered the face of the Grade B Mechanic as he lost partial control over his body.


    His body also showed signs of mutating as green scales started appearing.


    They were horrified, General Aztog was even more horrified.


    This didn''tst long though, Legs'' game interface lit up again.


    -----


    [Intelligence Calction Complete! You have higher Intelligence stat!]


    [You have triggered Natural Mental Invasion Instinct!]


    [Congrattions! You have purged the Psychic Parasite!]


    ----


    Bzzz!


    A familiar Psychic Specter separated out of Legs'' body.


    It was almost at the same time that the Specter separated out of his body that it also separated out of Champion Onana. Like the Summoner ss, the Mechanic and Mage main sses prioritized intelligence even the more.


    After it separated out of them, they did not feel relief, they rather felt dread.


    The same thought went through their minds. ''The others!''


    During the process of the Psychic Parasite acting up, his contracted beasts that he previously amalgamated with, Bran and Predator were yanked away.


    Legs decided to integrate with one again.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration


    You have fused with Bran!


    [Base Control Level: 54%]


    [+6% Base Control Level from hierarchy!]


    [Intermediate Summoner Knowledge: Enhanced Leadership Detected!]


    [+15% Control Level!]


    [Overall Control Level: 75%]


    ----


    "The Psychic Parasite has evolved it''s abilities again". Legs warned as he flew off having integrated with Bran. "That is why I could not detect it".


    Without saying a word, Champion Onana flew after him rapidly.


    The sensation as the Psychic Parasite tried to take over his body still lingered in his mind; it was a traumatic feeling to experience. ''I hope¡­''


    His thoughts were interrupted by a distress call.


    Christensen''s voice reverberated from the other end. "The President¡­"


    The call disconnected.


    ¡­


    As the Cosmic Cataclysm raged on, there were some ces that were more heavily protected than the others. One was the control room to all theary defenses that were set up, and another was the Presidential Vi.


    President Shanks and Vice President Lydia were not left alone.


    Predicting that the Space Bugs may target them, de was made in charge of the defense of the Presidential Vi. As for the President and his Vice, Daemon, Emak, and Eleanor were assigned to protect them from the dark.


    "What is happening?" President Shanks asked as he noticed what happened.


    "I think it''s the Psychic Parasites again¡­"


    It was as Emak tried to exin that everything changed.


    BOOM!


    It happened instantly!


    As soon as the signs of mutation started, they ended, and it was an almost full transformation. At this moment of truth for the army of Darvis, President Shanks and High Official Eleanor mutated, bing infected.


    "Special Summoner Ability: Beast ne Summoning!"


    "Special Summoner ability: Beast Integration!"


    "Eleanor Specialty: Ultimate Support!"


    Emak was at point-nk range, including Vice President Lydia, they could not dodge as President Shanks attacked them at point-nk range.


    It felt like a nightmare, a nightmare of blood and death.


    BOOM!

 Chapter 458 Death! [2]

    ?


    "Special Summoner Ability: Beast ne Summoning!"


    "Special Summoner Ability: Beast Integration!"


    "Eleanor Specialty: Ultimate Support!"


    Bzzz!


    As soon as the rainbow bridge opened, disaster and death followed!


    With half of his body already turned to a Bug, President Shanks integrated with his Grade C Wolf as soon as it charged out of the beast ne, making his body to mutate even further into a half Wolf, half Human, and half Space Bug.


    He looked hideous and terrifying, but nheless extremely dangerous. He also seemed to be in pain but his bestial ferocity at this moment overshadowed the pain.


    Everything happened so fast, the protectors that were assigned to protect the President could not react, they could only watch with stunned looks on their faces as President Shanks and Eleanorunched lethal attacks.


    Unfortunately, at this moment, Emak was the closest to them.


    "Special Beast Ability: Might Bite!"


    "Special Beast Ability: Steel ws!"


    "Special Beast Ability: Devour!"


    Paired with Eleanor''s supporting abilities, during this brief time, President Shanks literally became the strongest Grade C Superhuman in this room.


    Unluckily, he was already infected, Emak became his first victim.


    The Grade C Superhuman could only raise his hands in despair as he stirred his energy to defend, but he was overwhelmed by the President''s overwhelming power. In his mutated form, President Shanks ttened him to the ground.


    With the steel ws of the wolf, he pinned Emak to the ground, enabling the ws to dig deep into the body of this Pugilist as he bled.


    Emak could not even struggle, he was firmly pinned. He was still stunned. "M-Mr. President?!"


    President Shanks did not answer him, he went for the kill.


    Aiming directly for the head, President Shanks bit with force.


    Squash!


    The sound of crushing bones and flesh reverberated the next moment as Emak''s legs jerked. His brain could only register the pain for a little while, the next moment, it stopped, Emak¡­ was dead!


    Even in death, this warrior was still in disbelief.


    "Mr. President?!" He left hisst words.


    Daemon and Vice President Lydia watched as all these happened in shock and disbelief.


    Watching the brain matter shatter all across the ground, they felt a chill crawl down their spines, this was real!


    Emak was dead!


    "ROAR¡­!" President Shanks and High Official Eleanor roared again.


    "Get to safety!"


    Core Protector Daemon finally reacted as he roared at the Vice President while getting ready for battle, this was when he was mmed by an attack.


    "Psychic Ability: Mental st!"


    "Psychic Ability: Telekinesis Compression!"


    Bzzz!


    Both warriors froze the next moment, they felt their brains ringing.


    The psychic parasites that possessed Grade D warriors could only grow to that level, but those that possessed President Shanks and High Official Eleanor, these ones already grew so much to be Grade C Parasites.


    Their psychic attacks were lethal and both Superhumans were affected.


    The mental st left them feeling dizzy, while the telekinesispression left them feeling like they were being suffocated in a cage that was slowlypressing and pressing their bodies, aiming to squash them to meat paste.


    Core Protector Daemon was horrified. "This¡­!"


    By the time that he regained his vision, President Shanks was already before him, the President once again aimed for the head.


    "Special Necromancy Ability: Underw¡­"


    Daemon was interrupted by an attack from Eleanor, he could notplete it as President Shank''s deadly teeth also sank deep into his head.


    If he had a game interface, Daemon would have seen his health points draining like a tap. His life was literally sucked away as his body became lifeless.


    "Necromancy Ability: Re-birth!"


    Instantly, Core Protector Daemon came back to life in his spectral form but this one was also not spared.


    "Psychic Ability: Dimensional st!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    BOOM!!!


    Daemon could not withstand it, the powerful Psychic energy ground against his soul as he felt like he was being stabbed by a thousand knives.


    This was when a portal to a strange spectral dimension opened, he was sucked inside this dimension, leaving Vice President Lydia alone.


    By now, this leader of the Hunter Union was already prepared for battle as her Elementalist energy raged but she was not confident. Killing 2 Grade C Superhumans at such a short time was definitely not normal.


    "Shanks, wake up!" She roared.


    "I know you''re still there!"


    The President was having none of it.


    Boom!


    He charged forward to finish the job that was assigned to him by the Bug Conqueror. Mid-charge, powerful maic energy suddenly descended, engulfing the whole Presidential Vi and freezing everything.


    Everything froze except only 2 that were partially frozen. Fused with the Psychic Parasites, President Shanks and Eleanor were so powerful that they partially resisted the power of the Grade B Mechanic.


    This was when Legsnded.


    Seeing the current form of the President and High Official Eleanor, his mood dropped instantly as he feared for the worse but he did not hesitate.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    ----


    BAM!


    A single punch to the face was all it took to leave President Shanks dizzy.


    High Official Eleanor tried to escape but Legs was faster. Blocking her path, heunched a high kick at her face as she growled aggressively against him.


    President Shanks'' beasts tried to wreak havoc but Predator singlehandedly took care of them. Pressing both warriors to the ground, Legs looked into their eyes even as he finally showed emotion.


    "Are you still there?"


    "Answer me, you can''t leave us like this".


    "You''re the f*cking President!"


    President Shanks and Eleanor responded with growls and roars.


    He tried different means from pping them to using different abilities on them but none worked, Legs turned to look at Champion Onana as he exhibited fear for the first time. "They''re gone".


    By this time, de was already in here, he clenched his fists on hearing that.


    This was when an earthquake suddenly started.


    BOOM¡­! BOOM¡­! BOOM¡­!!!


    Everywhere shook, it was like the world wasing to an end.


    Looking up, they finally saw him.


    "UNGRATEFUL SLAVES!"


    "THIS IS MY ERA!"


    "BOW BEFORE THE NEW ERA¡­, OR DIE!"


    After hours of leaving the job to his subordinates, the Bug Conqueror finally lost his patience and personally made an appearance in Darvis.


    The release of all the Psychic parasites was the first manifestation of his rage, now he was here to deal more personal damage.


    He was so ridiculouslyrge that his own gravity shed with that of Darvis. It triggered the-wide earthquake, there was a lot of movement in the crust as Darvis struggled against the unknown entity.


    At this moment, it was like 2s with distinct gravities colliding.


    Despite the resistance, the Bug Conqueror sessfully forced his way in.


    Amid the earthquakes, chaos, and death, he spread even more disaster.


    "SPECIAL ABILITY: PUNISHMENT- TAIL CRUSH!"


    Its familiar gigantic tail swept forward for the attack.


    It was disastrous!


    BOOM¡­!!!

 Chapter 459 Death! [3]

    ?


    "SPECIAL ABILITY: PUNISHMENT- TAIL CRUSH!"


    BOOM¡­!!!


    "SPECIAL ABILITY: PUNISHMENT- HELL''S DESTRUCTION!"


    BOOM¡­!!!


    "SPECIAL ABILITY: METAL RAIN- EXTINCTION!"


    BOOM¡­!!!


    "SPECIAL ABILITY: LASER RUSH!"


    "SPECIAL ABILITY: THUNDEROUS PSYCHIC BLAST!"


    "SPECIAL ABILITY: MECHANIC DESTRUCTION!"


    "SPECIAL ABILITY: MAGIC GATE- PURGATORY!"


    "SPECIAL ABILITY: EMPEROR''S DOMINATION!"


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    It was no longer the beautiful and lush full of life, after a dosage of destruction from the Bug Conqueror, Darvis became an illustration of death.


    With every tail attack, tens of thousands of lives were affected even as the suffered even more. No one could stop it, not Champion Onana, not Legs, not any of the Grade B Supers that were present.


    The power of a Grade A existence was a whole other level of horror!


    Any movement from him resulted in catastrophic upheavals and destruction.


    When he activated the Hell''s Destruction ability, meteorites were literally pulled out of space as they were unleashed on Darvis, wreaking destruction.


    The whole was set aze, blood and fire dominated.


    The death rate catapulted.


    When he activated the Metal Bombardment active ability, the gigantic body of the Bug Conqueror became a weapon of mass destruction. From his gigantic body emerged different muzzles for weapons as they unleashed disaster.


    Heat fromser beams and methrowers increased the temperature of the, turning it into a living hell where humans, Skyrims, and Naks burned.


    From the Positron beams, antimatter particles, and destruction beams raking through the surface of the, radiation filled the air even as the humans, Skyrims, and Naks were weakened by it while the Space Bugs became stronger.


    From the Gauss projectiles and other physical weapons, huge craters were left in the surface of the, it was a true Cosmic Cataclysm.


    The Bug Conqueror could not be stopped, he was a living envoy of death!

    BOOM!


    Each attack rocked Legs to his very blood cells, his brain was taken through a rollercoaster ride of death every single time that he was hit.


    His interface notifications about how much damage he took shocked him to his bone marrows.


    He and the Human King from Austere were the only ones who had the ability to take a hit from the Bug Emperor and survive to tell the story.


    Champion Onana and the Skyrim King kept their distance while they attacked.


    Despite trying their best, their attacks were nothing more than tickles to the thick metal exterior of the Bug Conqueror while his attacks felt like humans mming sledgehammers against ants, it was crushing force.


    Annoyed by their incessant following, the Bug Conqueror turned and finally gave Legs more attention and it''s effects were deadly.

    Legs was horrified.


    "¡­!" The fact that he just died struck fear in his heart.


    The others were even more horrified as they kept arger distance from the Bug Conqueror. This gigantic Cosmic Horror was unmatched as it rampaged across with nonchnt impunity, triggering death wherever it went.


    He turned Darvis into his purgatory, into hell.


    "SLAVES, BOW BEFORE THE NEW ERA!"


    His asional demands finally started breaking their mental defenses.


    Most of the warriors already gave in to despair, all around them was simply death, death, and death again. Fire, explosions, they all signified more death.


    And seeing their champions running away from the gigantic Bug, they lost it. "We were really na?ve to think we could win".


    "I won''t throw my life away!"


    "Instead of letting my daughter die, I''ll rather her live as a ve so long she gets to enjoy the feeling of being alive".


    "I surrender!"


    "I surrender!"


    "I surrender!"


    Multiple warriors sumbed as they bowed before the Bug Conqueror.


    Seeing them sumbing, he cackled. "THIS IS MY ERA!"


    While a lot of warriors started sumbing to the pressure and death, surrendering, even more of them remained stone cold as they fought to the death.


    "I will never give up my freedom to live as a ve!"


    Darvis is my home!"


    "I will protect it till the end!"


    For the first time in all his life, Legs experienced a situation where he could do nothing, he couldn''t even find it in himself to motivate himself again.


    For the first time in both his lives, he was truly stumped with a problem.


    He could think of no clever n to maneuver around the enemy this time.


    There was no beast he could tame to suddenly turn the tides this time.


    All his clever tricks were now useless, including his future knowledge.


    This was all because at this moment, he was in the face of absolute power. When faced against absolute power, intelligence no longer seemed as OP.


    Legs wavered. ''Should I escape through the gray world?''


    ''I don''t want to die yet''.


    ''There''s still so many things that I''m yet to achieve as a warrior''.


    ''I don''t even know anything about the secret of reincarnation yet''.


    ''I''ve not even met Maximus yet!''


    ''What should I do?!'' He felt the pressure.


    Every second that they hesitated; more death urred. And by the second, the Bug Conqueror slowly cornered them as the army of Space Bugs blocked their escape routes, their options were reducing every single moment.


    The pressure slowly got to them, they were anxious, they were desperate.


    Legs had never felt this close to the aura of death all his life.


    He could feel death engulfing him.


    He could feel it taunting him and slowly suffocating him.


    ''What should I do?''


    In his dilemma, a powerful spatial fluctuation suddenly spread through space as it attracted a lot of attention from everywhere.


    BZZZZ!


    In space, very close to Darvis, an unknown entity appeared.


    He appeared in the middle of the army of Space Bugs still invading Darvis, killing tons of them with the sheer gravity of his body alone.


    This unknown entity was a gigantic Crocodile. As soon as he appeared, heughed for joy. "Hahaha¡­, I survived!"


    "I f*cking escaped!"


    While he celebrated weirdly, he didn''t bother to hide his energy fluctuations.


    Shock spread through the battlefield. ''Another Grade A Beast?!''


    The Bug Conqueror had one of the most extreme reactions as joy and ecstasy showed in his gigantic Bug face. "HAHAHA, MORE SUBJECTS!"


    "POWERFUL SUBJECTS!"


    Ignoring his targets in the, the Bug Conqueror lifted up as he soon started elerating towards space.


    This was when the gigantic Crocodile detected the enemy.


    He scowled. "Another Grade A menace?!"


    As both beasts came close to collision point, Legs'' eyes widened as he finally remembered where he recalled this beast from.


    "The Crocodile Priest!"


    "The Crocodile Priest of the Beast Coalition!" He was shocked.


    BOOM!


    Both beasts shed!

 Chapter 460 Calamity Grade Battle!

    ?


    BOOM!


    The Bug Conqueror escaped Darvis'' gravity in an instant!


    No sound reverberated in space but in the mind of the gigantic Crocodile, he could hear a sound of something rapidly slicing through space due to the sheer speed and enthusiasm at which the even more gigantic Bug charged at him.


    ''Where am I?''


    Even as he got prepared to defend himself, he observed.


    ''Where is this void?''


    He observed the deste void, the floating asteroids, the floating before him from afar, the strange Cosmic Bug and the ancient vibe emanating from his surroundings, his eyes narrowed.


    ''This is no longer the Minerva Star System!''


    His face dropped. ''Where did I teleport to?''


    ''Besides, how many months did I spend drifting in the higher dimensions?''


    His thoughts were interrupted by the rapidly advancing Bug. "A WORTHY OPPONENT!"


    "FINALLY, A WORTHY SUBJECT AFTER CENTURIES OF BOREDOM!"


    The Bug Conqueror''s voice betrayed his extreme excitement, clearly, he was ecstatic as he rapidly closed the distance to the Crocodile and got set to attack.


    By now, the Crocodile already analyzed his situation. ''Not good!''


    ''From this guy''s size and speed, he is clearly at the upper spectrum of the Cmity Grade. Besides, I already fought a fierce battle before being forced to escape and I had to float in the higher dimensions for probably months''.


    ''I''m weak now, there''s no way I can survive a head-on confrontation''.


    ''I need to escape!''


    ''Sh*t!''


    As if reading his intentions, the Bug Conqueror gave him no more time to react, the gigantic Bug almost as big as a attacked.


    There was no sound as the Bug''s long tailshed forward for the attack again. This time, it carried so much speed and power that even space was cut apart.


    ''I can''t dodge it!'' The Crocodile retaliated.


    The next moment, this massive Crocodile no longer stayed idle. A gigantic gray metal armor materialized, covering its massive body even as a weapon set in the form of sharp metals covering its ws were equipped.


    Instantly, the vibe and energy presence of this Crocodile changed.


    Activating one of its special abilities, this Cmity Grade A Crocodile opened it''s huge maws before mming them shut with power as its teeth ground against each other, inducing a force of epic proportions!


    A mighty force was generated in space the next moment!


    Forceful shockwaves sted everywhere across space.


    The powerful force affected the Bug Conqueror but they only stopped him for a moment, most importantly they left him even more excitement since it was confirmation that this Cmity Grade was the real deal.


    The next moment, with a cackle, this mighty Bug continued.


    "BOW BEFORE ME!"


    "FOLLOW THE TIDES OF THE CHANGING EPOCH AND JOIN THE WINNING SIDE!"


    "BECOME MY NUMBER 1 SUBJECT!"


    "SUBMIT TO ME AND BECOME THE COMMANDER OF MY ARMIES!"


    "Get Lost!" The Crocodile roared in an annoyed manner as they finally closed all the distance.


    Then, right there in space, a cosmic battle of epic proportions started!


    ¡­


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Despite the fact that the Cmity Grade battlefield was thousands of kilometers away in space, the shockwaves of the battle were felt in the.


    The Bug Conqueror''s forceful intrusion into the already messed with not just it''s crust but it''s gravity.


    All these were amplified even more by the Cmity Grade battle in space.


    The battle between the 2 Monsters brought this to the verge of death.


    While all these happened, Champion Onana, Legs, and the other champions remained still. Legs was lost in thought. ''It already exceeded our scope; this is now a war between Cmity Grades''.


    He felt slightly grateful as since without the unexpected arrival of the Crocodile, Darvis would have been run over already but at the same time, he felt lost and defeated since he coulde up with no scenario of victory.


    He racked his brain for ideas but none of them had a semnce of victory.


    Darvis has no hope''. His eyes were hollow in horror.


    ''The President is already infected and guaranteed for death''.


    ''The Space Bugs are overrunning us already''.


    ''We''ve tried but can''t assassinate the tenacious Unique Space Bugs''.


    ''As for the high-end battle, we stand no chance against the Bug Conqueror. The Crocodile seems injured which makes the Bug likely to emerge victorious''.


    ''If he somehow manages to convince the Crocodile to be his subject and survive, then we are truly screwed''.


    ''Even if he doesn''t convince the Crocodile, even in his weakened state after the battle with the Crocodile, I doubt we stand a chance at defeating him''.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    ''Even with Champion Onana''s trump card¡­''


    ''Is there really nothing I can do?''


    ''Is there really nothing we can do?''


    He cracked his brain but nothing came. ''We are done for''.


    Legs felt worse, he felt powerless, he lost all will to fight.


    He finally experienced that feeling that Doctor Strange felt after viewing all the multiple possible timelines when facing the inevitable superviin, Thanos.


    No matter how much they tried to maneuver around it, there was nothing much they could do before absolute power.


    Champion Onana and the other champions already arrived at the same conclusion as they simply remained still and watched, no longer having the motivation to take the fight to the enemy.


    In this moment of despair was when an unlikely mentality hero rose.


    Inside the Presidential Vi¡­


    "M-Mr. President?" Christensen coughed blood as the mutated fangs of the President dug into his flesh, injuring him even more.


    de rushed into the scene at this moment as he forcefully subdued the President and High Official Eleanor, pinning them to the ground.


    Even as all these happened, Christensen kept his gaze pinned on President Shanks'' eyes, hoping to prove himself wrong but he was right.


    Tears welled in his eyes. ''The President is gone¡­''


    Looking into the President''s eyes, he no longer saw thosepassionate and always worried eyes about the wellbeing of the and its inhabitants, all he saw was bestial and rabid violence.


    Knowing the fate of all those that were infected before, he knew that these 2 important individuals in Darvis were already a lost cause.


    Despite knowing, he found it hard to ept the truth.


    He copsed on his knees, ignoring the pain and the blood gushing from his chest as he clenched his fists. "Why?"


    "Why him?" He was having a mental breakdown.


    While asking these questions, recollections came to his brain, they shed like scenes in a movie theater, he felt like he was living them again.


    Scenes of his battle alongside his master against the Grade C Frost Wolf in Palm Ind after he stole Brutus floated to his head¡­


    He remembered how they struggled and were the underdogs¡­


    Scenes of all the significant battles that he had fought alongside his master and hisrades floated to him. The battle of Hellfire Mountains, the battle against the Nak Navy when they still opposed Darvis.


    In them all, he noticed one thing, they were always the weaker ones.


    They were always the underdogs.


    They were always expected to do the impossible to win.


    "Why?" He roared.


    "Why are we always the underdogs?"


    "Is that the price to pay to be the good people or is fate just against us?"


    He looked at President Shanks again as he struggled against de, he gritted his teeth. "That is the fate of the underdog".


    "I hate being the underdog".


    Christensen looked up with pure hatred in his eyes at the flying Space Bugs that caused destruction everywhere, his eyes resonated pure hatred and malice.


    He watched as the blood of hisrades flowed everywhere.


    He watched as they died.


    Crack!


    His knuckles cracked due to clenching his fists. "I hate being the underdog!"


    "Being the underdog brings suffering and death, as long as I live, I live to channel my hate against it. I will not stop till I and myrades be so strong that we are no longer underdogs".


    "I will not stop until we be the strongest in the universe!"


    At these derations, something shifted in him.


    His pain stimted anger, and his anger stimted growth, this incredible resonance affected a certain beast that was fighting on the battlefield.


    After another sh with a Space Bug, Frigga suddenly paused.


    A familiar feeling returned to this mythical beast.


    Christensen''s anger channeled through him and on the spot, Frigga''s power exploded as this Snow Fenrir regained his peak Grade B powers!


    "AWOOOOO¡­!!!" His howl was like the trumpet of hell!


    Frigga''s recovery affected Christensen and all his affiliated beasts, on the spot, they all experienced a breakthrough as a mighty explosion of power exploded.


    Christensen be a Demi-God Summoner!


    "I hate being the underdog!" His voice reverberated with anger and hate.


    "I WILL NOT STOP TILL I BECOME THE BEST!"


    BOOM!


    Christensen pounced at the nearest Unique Space Bug!

 Chapter 461 Self-Created Sword Skill: Pain And Anger!

    ?


    "Special Summoner Ability: Beast Integration!"


    "Demi-God Summoner Ability: Partial Form!"


    Immediately after fusing with Frigga, Christensen activated his newly gained ability as he alsobined with Brutus, creating a partial form.


    This partial beast form was abination of a wolf and a hound.


    One part of his body was white with a high concentration of frost energy, the other was pitch-ck representing Brutus with a high concentration of shadow energy. Thebination caused a mighty energy presence.


    The intelligent red eyes of this new beast glowed with pure unadulterated anger, then the next moment Christensen exploded forward with speed.


    The Unique Space Beasts saw him but they could do nothing about his speed.


    Not just his speed, Brutus'' mutated abilities in the partial form enabled him to transverse through shadows in a way that he had never done before.


    He arrived directly behind one of the Unique Space Bugs.


    "Special Amalgamation Fenrir Ability: Devouring Bite!"


    BOOM!


    The beasts'' teeth pped into the metallic surface of the Unique Space Bug with power, tearing a significant part of it open as both frost and shadow energy were unleashed, rampaging through the innards of the Space Bug.


    Christensen injured the Bug in one blow as his hatred burned hotter.


    Christensen red at his master after that one attack.


    "Master, what are you waiting for?"


    "Don''t be dumb and weak like the old me".


    "¡­" Legs was shocked.


    "They''re killing us, it''s only right that we kill them back".


    "Forget all your thoughts and just fight!"


    "Let''s show them what we are made of!"


    "Don''t be a bum!"


    Christensen''s words were direct and piercing but they did the job of setting Legs'' heart aze. "F*ck it!"


    "There''s no use thinking about the Bug Conqueror now!"


    "I should face the immediate problems and think about thatter!"


    Not just Legs, the Skyrim King, Human King, and Champion Onana felt the same way as they left all theirplicated thoughts and simply focused on the worthy opponents that were currently before them, the Unique Space Bugs.


    Now, it was 5 on 3, it was now extremely one-sided.


    No matter how powerful these Space Bugs were individually, against all 5 of them now, they were sure to receive a proper beatdown.


    A pounding started.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    ¡­


    President Shanks and High Official Eleanor caused a ruckus¡­


    de struggled to keep the both of them in check and prevent them from attacking the thousands of guards that were originally stationed in the Presidential Vi to protect the President who were now rendered useless.


    More of these guards died to the 2 berserk and mutated Darvis higherups.


    "Mr. President!"


    "Mr. President! I believe you''re still in there, wake up!"


    The more he called, the more the 2 mutated humans wreaked havoc.


    5 more guards died not soon after due to the rampage of the 2 infected humans as de became more and more conflicted. Knowing that he still had a war to fight and win, he felt even more conflicted.


    Boom!


    President Shanks in his mutated wolf form attacked him again.


    This time, as de coughed blood, he looked up at the President who rushed closer to finish him off with aplicated look on his face.


    His lips quivered. "I-I''m sorry".


    "Jon Stones'' Specialty: Obliteration Fist!"


    BOOM!


    The powerful fist punch and the Pugilist energy behind it was tyrannical, it pushed the mutated President back even as it blew a massive hole through where the heart of the President was supposed to be located.


    This fatal attack was not enough to kill him but de was already determined. He took one step forward as he unsheathed his Lightsaber.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    A side step and one fatal sh was all it took to behead the President.


    The guards outside shuddered at the sight as they fell on their knees in tears.


    For the first time in a long time, a tear gathered in de''s eyes but he did not let them fall as he took another step towards the rampaging High Official.


    "Self-Created Technique: 3 Sabers!"


    The Lightsaber stabbed through the air 3 times at a rapid speed.


    Mutated High Official Eleanor could not withstand it, this monster gurgled blood even as she shrank back to her normal human form as her life force started escaping from her.


    de caught her before she fell as his eyelids quivered.


    Looking into her eyes, he saw rity again, they were no longer rabid.


    Her eyes were squinted like she was in a great amount of pain.


    de wanted to close his eyes but he forced them open to see herst moments, he apologized with conviction. "I''m sorry".


    "Make it worth it". High Official Eleanor left herst words.


    In just a few seconds, 2 of the most important existences in Darvis died from the tyranny of the Bug Emperor and this was after both of them already killed 2 more important figures in Daemon and Emak.


    The fate of Darvis was really bleak.


    As soon as she died, clenching his fist around his Lightsaber, de drowned in the feeling of frustration and defeat that he failed his mentor.


    Memories of Jon Stones, his promise to him and eventual promise to High Official Eleanor flooded his brain, he could not fight them back no matter how hard he tried as they seemed to now haunt him.


    ''You traitor!''


    ''You failed!''


    ''You failed them!''


    ''How dare you live while they die?''


    ''You''re better off dying!''


    de clenched his fists tighter.


    "I''m sorry¡­" He fought the tears.


    He clenched his fists so tight around his Lightsaber that blood flowed.


    de did not let himself stay this way for long though. As the current strongest Pugilist produced in Darvis, he had an obligation to fight and this was the catalyst that helped him ignore his inner mental storm.


    He looked up at the intense battlefield where the Unique Space Bugs were currently being cornered and suppressed.


    "That is where I should be". He said these words with anger and pain.


    His words seemed to be a decree towards fate as it worked in his favor.


    BZZZ!


    de''s Pugilist energy erupted with power as his eyes turned pitch-ck.


    This was not a temporary power increase, fueled by his frustration and sense of defeat, he finally pushed through the barrier that had been holding him back.


    de had his own breakthrough on the spot!


    The epiphany of this moment enabled him to create a new trump card sword skill, a skill that embraced all the emotions that he felt at this moment.


    "Self-Created Sword Skill: Pain and Anger!"


    de''s Lightsaber became engulfed by his evolved Pugilist energy that formed bright purple and red manifestations of energy and power.


    His target was one of the resisting Unique Space Bugs.


    Whoosh!


    de rose up into the skies with his sword in hand like a rocket.


    The Space Bug felt the danger but it could not react on time. Just before the sword could touch its gigantic neck, this Space Bug experiencedplicated emotions for the first time and they were all negative.


    It experienced emotions like frustration and despair for the first time, but the 3 dominant emotions were pain, anger, and fear.


    "Die with dread!" de''s voice was cold and full of venom.


    The Lightsaber cut through with impunity and bubbling anger!


    The Unique Space Bug lost its head to the attack!


    Then together, they focused on thest 2 Bugs.

 Chapter 462 The Might Of A Cosmic Horror!

    ?


    "Self-Created Sword Skill: Pain and Anger!"


    Whoosh!


    de''s sudden breakthrough was shocking but the sword skill that he created on the spot after this was even more shocking. Despite ganging up on the Unique Space Bugs 5 against 3, they found it impossible to kill them.


    The Human King despite also being a Pugilist didn''t have the killer techniques to finish off any of the Space Bugs, they were that tenacious.


    This was why de''s sudden movement and feat moved mountains.


    Engulfed in purple and red fiery pugilist energy, de''s Lightsaber drew an arc in the air that left the feeling of an angry soul in hell behind. The emotional attack further lowered the Bug''s resistance in preparation for its death.


    When the sword hit, shockingly, there was little to no resistance.


    de''s sheer raw power and the incredible technique behind the sword skill did the rest, with a loud shriek, one of the Unique Space Bugs lost its head.


    -----


    [You have contributed to the killing of a Unique Space Bug!]


    [You have been rewarded with 80,000,000 Experience Points!]


    ----


    de''srades were shocked, but the remaining 2 Unique Space Bugs were even more shocked as they recoiled in shock but they were going nowhere.


    Christensen was on a high, his emotions fueled his anger and determination.


    "This is our chance!"


    "Let usy waste to this menace!"


    None of them hesitated, they attacked in sync.


    ¡­


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The Cosmic battle between the 2 Cmity Grade existences was crazy!


    The force from their sh in space affected all the surrounding. Thousands of asteroids were crushed to dust, the induced disasters in Darvis continued as the poor bore the brunt of the shockwaves generated from their battle.


    Despite the intensity of the battle, the conversation between the 2 Cmity Grades painted the real scenario of this battle.


    "HAHAHAHAHA!"


    "POWERFUL BUT NOT YET AT MY LEVEL, PERFECT AS MY SUBJECT!"


    "THIS IS MY ERA!"


    "BOW BEFORE THE NEW ORDER!"


    "BECOME THE COMMANDER OF MY ARMIES!"


    "ACCEPT MY OFFER AND SIT AT THE RIGHT HAND OF MY THRONE!"


    "Nonsense!" The Crocodile''s voice reverberated with a defiance matching the booming voice of the Bug Conqueror.


    "Even in death, I will never be the subject of another beast!"


    "The Beast King is the true savior of all beasts in the universe!"


    "He is our only savior from the tyranny of the 3 Universal Organizations!"


    "I don''t know which backwater Star System this is but it''s clear that you have zero information about the gcticmunity. Trust me, take me in and attend to my injuries, when I''m strong, I will teleport you back".


    "There, you will witness the true gcticmunity, you will be rewarded".


    "You will meet the beast paradise that the Beast King is in the process of building, you will thank me then, just trust me".


    The gigantic Bug was clearly taking none of that though.


    "BOW BEFORE YOUR CONQUEROR!"


    "THIS IS MY ERA!"


    The Crocodile received another powerful attack that injured it.


    "F*ck! You piece of backwater sh*t born from wasted sperm!"


    "BOW BEFORE YOUR CONQUEROR!"


    As more time went, the Crocodile Priest became more vulnerable but the Bug Conqueror refused to finish the job, he wanted a subject to his rule.


    This continued until the Bug suddenly detected something.


    A big link was suddenly cut off from its hivemind server.


    The Bug Conqueror was shocked as its attention briefly turned to focus on Darvis. "MY CHILD!" His angry and mournful voice reverberated in every mind, shocking them to their bones.


    The voice also reverberated in every mind in Darvis.


    With de''s help, channeled by his anger and pain, they already cornered and terribly injured thest 2 Unique Space Bugs, they were in the process of ending them until Legs heard the voice.


    Then, something clicked in his brain. ''We have ast boss to fight!''


    ''Even as we are now, we stand no chances of emerging victorious''.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    ''What if¡­?'' He looked at the Space Bugs fighting for their lives. ''What if I could tame them as further help in the final battle?''


    He shared his idea and implemented it instantly.


    His beast taming skills were at the highest possible level for him at the moment after he became a Grandmaster Beast Tamer and he was extremely confident in his skills, he made use of them without hesitation.

    [Warning! This is a secret of the Bug Conqueror!]


    [You have been marked for death!]


    ----


    Legs felt a pair of eyes focus on him from thousands of kilometers away as his heart skipped a beat, he froze, petrified in shock.


    BAM!


    de protected an attack that was meant to tten Legs as he shoved his master from his daze. "What happened?"


    Legs looked up at his student in shock, then he calmed down and exined. By the time that he was done, they were all shocked.


    They were shocked not just because of the news, but also because as soon as they were told, they experienced the same feeling like they were being watched. Apparently, they were also already marked.


    The Human King looked at the others. "So, what do we do?"


    "We kill these 2 Unique Space Bugs first!"


    Again, they activated all their strongest skills to spam on both Bugs.


    ¡­


    In space, the Bug Conqueror was no longer as nonchnt and calm, he finally became agitated but he did not leave to Darvis immediately as he kept on ring at the gigantic Crocodile with greed and anger.


    "BOW BEFORE ME!"


    "Never!"


    "BECOME MY SUBJECT!"


    "Never!"


    "I WILL TREAT YOU RIGHT!"


    "Nev¡­!"


    Before he could finish the word, the Bug Conqueror lost it.


    "FOOLISH CROC!"


    For the first time, the Bug Conqueror finally brought its gigantic body to oppress his opponent. The Crocodile Priest tried to retaliate but it only brought more suffering as the Bug used all it''s mechanic mutations for the first time.


    It''s gigantic body literally turned into a war fortress in space.


    Bringing all it''s mechanic weapons, it almost sted the Crocodile to smithereens. In mere seconds, this Cmity Grade Croc was left in an extremely weak state as the body of the Bug squirmed the next moment.


    "IF YOU WON''T BECOME MY SUBJECT WILLINGLY, I WILL MAKE YOU!"


    "I HAVE LIVED OVER A MILLENIUM; I HAVE A LOT OF SKILLS".


    "I CAN TURN YOU CYBER LIKE ALL MY CHILDREN".


    "YOU SHALL BE MY COMMANDER WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!"


    The next moment, the squirming flesh of the Bug Conqueror grabbed the Crocodile as it started closing up the next moment, trapping him in.


    As he was being trapped, the Crocodile slowly started losing sense of time. Inside the Bug''s flesh was like a cyro tube, he would lose all sense of time and consciousness. Then, the Bug could really temper with his body.


    This Crocodile felt some regrets but he no longer hesitated.


    "For the Beast King!"


    The Crocodile Priest self-imploded!

 Chapter 463 The Wrath Of The Bug Conqueror!

    BOOM¡­!!!


    The shockwaves of the explosion traveled to Darvis.


    The scene of a Grade C Super self-destructing alone was already a visual spectacle, when it was a Cmity Grade Super, it was even more crazy.


    All asteroids within a region of tens of thousands of kilometers were wiped and evaporated to dust. If The Roronoa Star System was a human''s head, this region was just wiped of all hair, it was now a bald region in the head.


    In space, a bright explosion was left lingering in space.


    Cmity Grade Supers and Beasts were extremely powerful and prideful beings who took centuries and even millennia to get to their level, they would 99.9% of the time never agree to be a subject to another existence.


    The Crocodile Priest deciding to self-implode was not just to preserve his dignity even in death, he also did it to irk the Bug Conqueror even in death.


    The Bug Conqueror was shocked.


    While it''s flesh was in the process of encapsting it''s newest test subject and prospective Army Commander, it already secreted juices into the Crocodile''s body that were supposed to numb all his activities including mental ones.


    In that beaten state, he never expected the Crocodile to still be able to self-destruct. It was caught off-guard and the effects were deadly.


    The effects of a Cmity Grade self-destructing were like the rank itself; it was a cmity!


    The explosion of power tore a huge chunk out of the Bug Conqueror''s flesh.


    The Crocodile''s thick dark green scales became countless daggers that wereunched out on the explosion,cerating holes across the Bug''s gigantic flesh.


    The mes engulfed a huge part of the Bug Conqueror''s gigantic body.


    "SCREEECH¡­!!!"


    It shrieked loudly in pain as it lost a huge chunk of body mass.


    Its loud voice reverberated in every sentient mind in the surroundings.


    ¡­


    "SCREEEECH¡­!!!"


    The Bug Conqueror''s loud shriek affected Legs and all hispanions, but the good thing was that it wasn''t exclusive to them, it also affected thest 2 Space Bugs that were already on the verge of death before them.


    "This is our chance!" Christensen was still driven for revenge.


    "This is our chance to kill them!" de took the lead.


    All of them activated their strongest attacks without hesitation.


    With the Lightsaber, de flexed his newly discovered strength as a Grade B Pugilist as he weaved webs of sword energy and spammed them at the Bugs while essing his impressive array of abilities.


    From his talents to his mentor''s abilities, to his own abilities, he spammed everything as both Space Bugs became overwhelmed in no time.


    They could not escape as Legs kept the muzzle of the Positron Rifle on them always, unleashing lethal shots at just the right moments to pin them down.


    The Human King unleashed punches that tore holes through their metal frames, exposing their fleshy organic forms that hid inside.


    The Skyrim King unleashed powerful Psychic sts that rendered their thought processes slow and ineffective to react on time to escape.


    Christensen in his partial form tore the Bugs apart piece by piece.


    Just a few secondster, de was about to deal the finishing blows again when a familiar voice stopped him.


    "Allow me". Legs'' voice reverberated calmly.


    -----


    You have activated Weapon Ability: Particle Beam Bombardment!


    ----


    The Positron Rifle roared to life.


    High energy beams of atomic particles were unleashed at the 2 Space Bugs. These Bugs take radiation as food but not radiation of this concentrated extent, these atomic particles sted their brains to smithereens.

    ----


    All 3 Unique Space Bugs assisting the Cosmic Cataclysm led by the Bug Conqueror were finally dead, but in turn, this did the job of attracting the full ire and wrath of the already incensed Bug Conqueror.


    Bzzz! Bzzz! Bzzz!


    The airspace in Darvis shook.


    The natural disasters increased in intensity as more deaths urred, all these were because the Bug Conqueror was already rapidly elerating towards Darvis with a strong will to end what he started.


    All the Grade B Supers wore grave expressions on their faces as they got prepared to meet death in the face in an attempt to defy it.


    Legs looked at them all. "Remember my n?"


    They nodded.


    "It''s slim but it''s our only chance if luck is on our side".


    "Our chances are higher now since he is also now really injured but I still rate our chances as low, this is a fight against fate".


    "We''re already pushed to a wall, it''s either win or die".


    "Let''s give it our all".


    BZZZZ!!!


    The airspace in Darvis was torn apart the next moment as what seemed like a ckhole appeared in the atmosphere, and it was from this ckhole where the enemy of Darvis appeared from.


    The gigantic face of the Bug Conqueror was shrunken and livid.


    His eyes were now bloodshot and filled with rage.


    "YOU UNGRATEFUL SLAVES SHALL DIE!!!"


    Legs'' face was calm amid the storm of this Bug''s arrival.


    "Hold it". He muttered.


    "Wait". He was calm.


    The Bug Conqueror''s gigantic tail raised and was about to attack.


    "Hold it".


    The tail struck!


    "Now!"


    Champion Onana acted.


    Even before the Bug Conqueror arrived, his hand was on his neck, precisely the luxurious ne that adorned his neck. As soon as Legs gave the signal, he no longer hesitated.


    ''It''s now or never!'' He crushed the 2nd bead in the middle of the ne.


    At the same time, he crushed a token that was on his right hand.


    BZZZZZ!!!


    A powerful presence that the Bug Conqueror was familiar with descended.

 Chapter 464 The Battle Against Fate! [1]

    ?


    BZZZZ¡­!!!


    A powerful energy fluctuation erupted the next moment.


    From behind Champion Onana, the silhouette of a Senior Nak Warrior appeared in his military clothes.


    Champion Onana''s eyes gleamed. ''Admiral Zhao!''


    ''An Admiral?!''


    Seeing the rank that was inscribed on this warrior''s clothes that was projected, Legs almost freaked out as the look that he gave Onana changed. At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief since he was on his side.


    As soon as the projection of the Admiral appeared, he spread his hands out and a shield generator was activated that protected all of them behind it.


    The Bug Emperor''s eyes widened to the limits on seeing this familiar shield.


    After these bunch of misfits killed his 3 most favored children, the Bug Emperor was thoroughly incensed as he vowed to kill them. Legs discovering its secret riled it up even more, totally fouling it''s mood.


    Its only constion was that at least he got his Commander. In the end, not even that worked out as the Crocodile Priest literally shit on his face.


    The culmination of all these upsets pushed him into a state of rage.


    He could think of nothing more than venting.


    And his only outlets to vent? They were these bunch of misfits. During his short trip back to Darvis, he already thought up a thousand different ways in which he could end the lives of these misfits to make it a bit interesting.


    This was why he went all out as soon as he arrived, he did not hold back.


    If Legs and the others were supposed to tank this attack by themselves, without a doubt, it would have spelled their end but this was not so.


    Despite the incredible nature of the attack, Admiral Zhao''s shield generator held, soaking all the momentum and power while leaving the Bug Emperor vulnerable to a counterattack.


    This was when the n truly kickstarted.


    "Now!" Legs roared.


    Champion Onana didn''t need his reminder, he already crushed the token as the next moment, another silhouette of the Nak Admiral was projected, superimposing over the first silhouette as it raised its canon and aimed.


    The first time when the Bug Emperor ate an attack from this Admiral, he suffered no injuries since he was at his peak and had the luxury to defend.


    This time, not only was he not at his peak and injured, but after his all-out attack to wipe them out, the Bug Emperor was vulnerable and could not defend immediately, giving the canon all the time in the world to do what it did best.


    Admiral Zhao did not disappoint as he pulled the trigger.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    For a brief moment, it felt like the universe was resetting!


    The canon was unhindered, mming directly against the gigantic head of the Bug Emperor as it caved in like a balloon.


    For like 2 seconds after impact, nothing happened, then¡­


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Mini explosions erupted from the gigantic body of the Bug Emperor.


    The canon imploded inside its body after piercing through it''s head as tons of flesh wereunched out like missiles.


    This damage came right after the Crocodile Priest''s self-implosion damage.


    "SCREEECH¡­!!!" The Bug Emperor shrieked in pain and agony.


    Its body was torn from every side as it struggled to regenerate.


    Despite the incredible damage that was dealt, like Legs expected, it was nowhere enough to bring the end of this Bug. This was why the next phase and most dangerous phase of the n had to go on.


    "Now!" Legs roared again.


    "Deal as much damage as possible!"


    -----


    You have activated Demi-God Summoner Active Ability: Beast Amalgamation- Partial Form!


    You have fused Ak and Predator!


    You have created a temporary Evolved Beast: Speed Demon- Nightmare!


    ----


    On the spot, Legs experienced another transformation. This time, after fusing Ak and Predator, a beast with gray scales formed from the fusion of a powerful Wind Wolf and a Nightmare Beast was created.


    Combining shadow and wind elements, this was a Speed Demon!


    Theoretically, this was Legs'' current strongest state.


    He was not the only one to enter his strongest state. During these few seconds while the Bug Emperor suffered was their only chance and they had to make the most of it, the others also went berserk.


    They did not hesitate, they all pounced on the gigantic target.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Legs and Christensen in their partial forms led the attack aggressively, acutely followed by de who put his powerful Lightsaber to good use.


    Their attacks were explosive and disaster-inducing.


    When they struck, the quaked!


    When they moved, hurricanes erupted!


    The Human King stuck close to de. Since the Bug Emperor was a huge target, he didn''t even need to aim, channeling his Pugilist energy to prioritize power over everything else, this powerful Pugilist simply spammed attacks.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Directly behind these 4 spearheads were the Skyrim King and Champion Onana. The Skyrim King literally became a river of rampaging psychic currents.


    BZZZZ¡­!!!


    Every Psychic st from him hit like ethereal thunder!


    The Bug Emperor''s consciousness and soul was literally being roasted by this expert of the mind as he took power from the rampaging psychic river.


    As for Champion Onana, this warrior entered god Han Xiao mode!


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Pushing Berserker to it''s limits, this Mechanic prioritized power above everything else as he put all the weapons of his mechanic suit to bear, burning, frying, cutting, tearing, and pounding the Bug''s skin to meat paste.


    If they all had virtual interfaces, they would have been notified of multiple critical hit notifications as the Bug Emperor literally went through hell!


    It''s shrieks of pain reverberated like the shrieks of souls in hell!


    During these few seconds, the champions of Darvis really went all out but the question was, was this enough?


    They pushed the Bug Emperor hard but it was not enough, he survived.


    Not only that, the effects of Admiral Zhao''s attack finally ended.


    Since this was literally the spearhead making all their attacks so effective since, the tides turned instantly after the effects of the attack ended.


    ''No!'' Legs was desperate as he red at the gigantic Bug.


    ''We can''t let it recover!''


    ''If it recovers, we''re dead!''


    ''What do we do?''


    ''Think!''


    ''THINK!''


    All the others were literally in the same dilemma as him but none of them had an idea about what to do to remedy it as they were stuck in their dilemma.


    Stuck with no ideas, Legs banked his hopes on luck.


    ''F*ck it!''


    ''If fate really exists, I need your favor now, luck shine on me!''

    Legs received the normal boost, but that was all.


    He waited¡­, but nothing happened.


    During this time, none of the others coulde up with a situation-changing n and a few seconds was all the Bug Emperor needed to regain himself.


    Rage, ferocity, and slight fear emanated from the eyes of the gigantic Bug.


    He no longer dared underestimate the tiny creatures but at the same time he did not overestimate them either, he finally took them seriously.


    "Special Organic Ability: Hivemind Override- Commander!"


    The Bug''s eyes gleamed. "Hivemind; Assemble!" He roared.


    Even as the change started happening, his gigantic eyes red at the tiny creatures. "I shally waste to your lives and all your inhabitations!"


    BOOM!


    The Bug Emperor took back control over every individual Bug in his hivemind!

 Chapter 465 The Battle Against Fate! [2]

    ?


    Years ago after the Bug Conqueror woke up from his deep slumber, only one ambition was birthed in him. ''I can finally be an Emperor!''


    ''I thought we were thest of the Roronoa Star System!''


    ''I am not alone afterall!''


    ''I will save them from loneliness too, they must be my subjects!''


    ''In the new era that I will create, I will be the Emperor and everyone else shall be my subject. Through my hivemind, we will live to be the most united Empire in the history of the universe''.


    ''There shall be no in-fighting, no civil wars, no traitors''.


    ''Everyone shall answer to me alone through the hivemind server''.


    ''The Bug Empire shall reign supreme''.


    ''And when any invasion forcees, we will crush them with overwhelming power''.


    ''I really hope there is another empire out there to invade''.


    ''I wonder how my Empire will fare against outsiders''.


    ''We will DOMINATE!''


    ''Afterall, we are united and they are not''.


    Fueled by his excitement and determination to fulfill his dreams, he set out with all his Bugs in a quest to recruit all the other survivors of the Roronoa Star System under his rule to officially create his Empire.


    Though the foolish survivors did not acknowledge his generous offer to enjoy his reign of unity, he didn''t flip out, he was benevolent.


    ''Afterall, you cannot expect a child to think like an adult''.


    ''You will have to spank them at times to teach them to grow up and mature''.


    ''If that it what it takes to make them mature, I will do it''.


    This resulted in the Cosmic Cataclysm. Even as his Bug army wreaked havoc and caused a lot of deaths and disasters, he only saw it as spanking for stubborn children, he would spank them until they grow up and mature.


    What he didn''t expect was for it to take this long for them to grow up.


    ''Are they dumb?''


    ''Can''t they see that I''m taking it easy on them?''


    ''Can''t they see that I''m the one trying to help them here?''


    ''Geez, kids these days''.


    ''I will have to truly spank the hell out of them then''.


    This was when he finally moved personally to spank them but their resistance only increased and just before he could seed, the total foreigner who was at his grade appeared but the appearance of this beast excited him.


    ''Finally, the Commander that I''ve always been looking for''.


    Unlike expectations, no matter how much he spanked this Commander, he also refused to grow up. In the end, he had to take extreme measures to decapitate him and capture him but that was where things started going wrong.


    The Crocodile Priest self-destructing waspletely out of his expectations.


    ''When did kids startedmitting suicide due to being spanked?!'' He was horrified and confused even as he was injured.


    Then, the other kids he aimed to turn into his subjects angered him further by killing his 3 most favored children. This was what finally made the Bug to flip, he no longer cared that they were children, they should all die!


    ''These arrogant and ignorant fools!''


    ''I will teach them a lesson to never forget in death!''


    He rushed in but he was humbled. Legs'' n and their execution injured him so much that he was left with only a little juice, he was horrified.


    From the beginning, he never expected to be injured. Being injured to this extent was so shocking that he was finally weed back to reality.


    ''These kids¡­, these children¡­, they are no children!''


    ''They are demons!''


    ''I need to take them serious!''


    ''I need to totally wipe them out!''


    This was what prompted his next actions.


    "Special Organic Ability: Hivemind Override- Commander!"


    "Hivemind; Assemble!"


    Instantly, all the Bugs across space and in Darvis responded. They no longer seemed like individual Bugs, they now seemed like robots working for a mastermind A.I who treated them as it''s personal army.


    The Bug Conqueror''s voice was now filled with malice and seriousness.


    "KILL!"


    Yeah, it could now be called a CATACLYSM!


    The tens of millions of Bugs reacted like well organized killing machines. They attacked and retreated as one, increasing their killing efficiency to a truly horrifying level as Darvis was painted red!


    They no longer tried to teach the enemies a lesson, this time, the Bug Conqueror saw them as true demons and sought to eliminate them all.


    No one was spared, everyone was eliminated.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Even as the weaker humans were eliminated, the Bug Conqueror did not forget the unruliest kids that made him change his perception of them to demons. He focused personally on Legs and hisrades.


    Controlling millions of the Space Bugs, he turned them into additional flesh for himself, turning himself into a true Cosmic horror of gigantic proportions.


    When he attacked, it was like God himself attacked!


    BOOM¡­!!!


    The shockwaves spread seemingly like the end of the world was at hand.


    His tailshed like the whip of the Devil himself.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    Just 2 consecutive attacks and Legs and all hisrades were left terribly injured and at the brink of death. No matter their stunts, no matter all their ns, in the end, they were in the face of absolute power.


    No n could work when the difference in power was too much.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    They received the pummeling of their lives.


    In just a few seconds, Legs'' virtual interface notified him that his health points were less than 10%. Not only that, some of the others were suffering a fate even worse than his as their eyes widened in horror.


    BAM!


    The tailshed out again, stabbing both the Human King and Christensen as he was yanked out of his 2 beasts, leaving them at the brink of death.


    Any other attack would spell the doom of these 2.


    Before he could attack again, desperation pushed Champion Onana to hold his luxurious ne and crush the 3rd andst one of the special beads that his master gave him to use only in times of emergency.


    BZZZZZ¡­!!!


    Admiral Zhao appeared again and the shield generator temporarily kept them alive but that was all, no miracle was happening to save them from this situation and suddenly bring an end to the Bug Emperor.


    ''Is this ourst moments?'' Christensen coughed blood.


    ''Mentor, I tried my best!'' de clutched his chest as he licked the blood on his lips even as his hands clenched tighter on his Lightsaber.


    The Skyrim King was already thinking. ''This is beyond our scope''.


    ''If the Bug Emperor attacks again, I will have to try my best no matter what I have to do to force our way back to Austere''.


    ''This is not what we bargained for''.


    Legs watched with a hopeless look in his eyes. ''Hehe¡­, we lost''.


    ''In the end, after all the nning, after giving my all, nothing worked''.


    ''F*ck weakness!''


    They all braced themselves as the Bug Emperor was about to attack again. If they were not lucky, some of them would die from the impact this time.


    By this point, Darvis was already an endless ocean of blood.


    Amid all the blood and all the deaths, a certain young warrior still struggled to survive even as he remained one of the few warriors to pay attention to the most important battle between the''s champions and the enemy Emperor.


    "D-Dad¡­" Uranus stuttered as tears welled in his eyes.


    "I don''t want to die¡­"


    "I don''t want you to die¡­" Watching as the Bug Emperor''s lethal tail was about to strike again and being fully conscious that his father could die this time, Uranus lost control and cried for the first time in all his life.


    "I don''t want you to die¡­"


    As the lethal tail descended with momentum, his tears fell.


    A teardrop hit the ground before the tail could hit.


    Ssh!


    Instantly after the tear hit the ground, there was a resonance as it resonated with the river of blood flowing in this battlefield.


    The river of blood became segmented into individual puddles of blood formed in the shape of snowkes, bloody snowkes.


    This was when a mighty power erupted.


    BZZZZ¡­!!!


    Temporal energy erupted as time stopped!


    Time stopped for everyone except Uranus, this young Titan warrior became engulfed in the blood as his eyes became glowing red embers like the sun.


    Uranus exploded with power.


    BOOOM¡­!!!

 Chapter 466 The Last Titan!

    ?


    Uranus''s strong emotions brought a pause to the Cataclysm.


    BZZZZ¡­!!!


    Temporal power erupted and everything stopped.


    All the warriors, all the Space Bugs, including Legs, Champion Onana, and even the Bug Emperor who was in the process of bringing an end to their lives, they all paused under the influence of the power of time!


    "What is this?" Uranus was shocked.


    This was when he noticed it, his hand was vibrating.


    Looking down, he discovered that he was wrong. "It''s the sword".


    Memories shed in Uranus'' head. At the tender age of 5 when he broke all conventions and just awakened Super energy, he remembered his dad giving him a gift which was this broad sword.


    ''Uranus, you are a Titan warrior with a huge background''.


    ''This is a gift from your father, your biological father''.


    ''I promised him and now I''m fulfilling it''.


    Uranus looked down at the sword even as the blood that already engulfed him drew in even more power. The next moment, an illusion appeared in the skies, projecting a once majestic Empire.


    ''The Titan Empire!'' Uranus recognized it.


    The next moment, the powerful temporal energy erupted again.


    BZZZ!!!


    The Titan Empire materialized to life.


    Lots of Titans did note back to life, a single Titan came back to life. Wielding the same sword that Uranus wielded, this Titan with his red skin towered like a giant, the crown on his head showed his identity.


    This was the Emperor of the Ancient Titan Empire.


    He looked around at the current state of Darvis, at the blood flowing everywhere, at the desperately fighting warriors most especially the Nak warriors, and finally the Bug Emperor.


    "A Grade A Cosmic Beast, no wonder you were triggered so much¡­" The Emperor finally looked down. "My son".


    "¡­" Uranus felt his heart skip a beat on hearing that. "Dad?"


    The Emperor smiled on hearing that but his face soon turned grave. "I don''t have much time so I will simply bestow unto you your inheritance".


    "My technique is not strong enough to time freeze a Grade A Beast for long".


    "As I bestow it on you, I will exin".


    While Uranus watched, his father teleported beside him the next moment as he ced a finger on his head, then energy started being transferred into his body.


    "I trust Legs must have done his part and told you about our history".


    "During the Cataclysm, I was pushed into desperation and was when I developed the forbidden technique of time pause".


    "Of course, it''s a half-hearted imitation of the legendary Time Control ability that all Titan royals had ess to during our golden age in the stars".


    "Using it, I was able to freeze corpses in time, it was my only way to at least preserve a semnce of the Titan race in the world even after I died".


    "You survived the Cataclysm due to it".


    "Using it, I was able to preserve the best parts of myself and my Generals including the relics of the Ancient Titan Empire for this moment". The tall Titan smiled. "I will bestow upon you Temporal energy and the technique of time".


    He turned to look at the Bug. "I don''t know if it''s enough but this is the best that I can do, the rest depends on you".


    "No matter what happens, know that I am proud of you".


    "You are the Last Titan".


    "I believe you".


    "If you survive, travel the stars and seek the Time Control inheritance".


    Crack!


    A giant crack spread through the air the next moment, affecting the frozen time as the gigantic eyes of the Bug Emperor started moving.


    His immense power enabled him to be the first one to start breaking out of the effects of time stasis as his power rumbled like a gradually erupting volcano.


    "My time is up". The Titan Emperor smiled.


    "Goodluck".


    CRACK!


    The time stasis shattered like ss!


    Instantly, chaos descended as the battle continued like nothing happened. Most of them continued like everything was normal and they were not frozen by time, they had no idea.


    While Space Bugs, humans, and Skyrims shed, the Bug Conqueror''s tail finally hit it''s mark as it induced a sonic boom.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    BOOM!

    Legs was ttened as he ced his body on the line to protect the others since they didn''t have the same privilege as him, he died.


    Instantly, Legs came back to life as the Reincarnation Cycle kicked in.


    Legs'' intervention prevented the Human King and Christensen from dying from that attack but both were now crippled and rendered unfit for battle as the scales of the battle further tipped in the favor of the Bug Emperor.


    The confusing thing was that the Bug Emperor didn''t attack instantly after hisst attack as his attention became focused elsewhere.


    The others may not have noticed it, but apart from the Bug Emperor, Legs was the only other person who noticed what happened due to his system.


    -----


    [Warning! A great amount of temporal energy has been detected!]


    [A time maniption technique has been detected!]


    [Uranus is going through a transformation!]


    ----


    Legs looked at Uranus who now levitated in the skies.


    Engulfed in blood, all the temporal energy that was gathered just a second ago charged into his body in a rough manner. Recognizing the threat, the Bug Emperor tried to attack but it was over in an instant.


    BOOM!


    Uranus'' power exploded as on the spot; he had a breakthrough!


    Uranus became a Grade C Titan but that was not all!


    ''You are the Last Titan!'' This word reverberated in his brain.


    Another power exploded.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    This one was too powerful and condensed for Uranus to assimte but he didn''t need to assimte it, he only needed to use it while itsted.


    This was the true aid from his biological father.


    This incredible concentration of temporal energy converged together around him, temporarily empowering him as his energy levels rose exponentially.


    From the Grade C realm, it went a level up to the Grade B realm and kept on increasing even as the Bug Emperor''s attack came closer.


    Uranus didn''t just receive energy, he received a full inheritance, he received all the knowledge of his father, his Generals, and deep knowledge about the history of the Ancient Titan race including their reign across the stars.


    Uranus was evolving both physically and mentally.


    The incredible energy charging into him tipped him extremely close to the border of the Grade A realm, then it stopped at the bare summit, leaving Uranus with energy that equated to a Quasi-Grade A Super.


    Just before the Bug Emperor''s attack could hit, Uranus'' eyes boomed with power. "Special Bloodline Ability: Time Pause!"


    BZZZ¡­!!!


    It was not the same all epassing pause, all that was frozen in time was the Bug Emperor and his lethal attack, buying time for Uranus to counterattack.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Blood of the Burning Titan!"


    The blood engulfing him converged on his sword, engulfing and turning the sword into a glowing and burning bright red sword.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Temporal sh!"


    BOOM¡­!!!

 Chapter 467 The Last Stand!

    ?


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Temporal sh!"


    BOOM¡­!!!


    Every spectator watched with shock on their faces as the powerful mechanical tail of the Bug Emperor was shed and divided in twain.


    The gigantic Bug now like a thrashed in pain.


    "SCREEECH¡­!!!" Its painful shriek reverberated far and wide.


    Yet, this was still not enough to eliminate this Cosmic Horror.


    With eyes filled with hate and frustration, this gigantic Bug channeled its massive powers, sting Uranus with mechanic, psychic, and magical attacks including sending it''s Bug army in as Uranus retaliated.


    Uranus struggled¡­, but he stood his ground!


    Seeing what was ying before his eyes, Legs'' eyes gleamed. ''This is ourst chance!


    ''This is our only chance!''


    After riling the Bug Emperor to this extent, he was 100% positive that they no longer had any hopes of surviving even as ves. It was either they win and survive, or they lose and all die to this Cosmic Beast.


    Seeing Uranus stage a fight, his blood burned hot, his adrenaline spiked.


    "This is ourst chance!" He turned to the remaining worthy survivors.


    Champion Onana, the Skyrim King, and de looked at him as the remaining 2 Grade B warriors were already crippled and could not recover immediately.


    Legs looked at all 3 of them with bloodshot and tired eyes that were filled with boundless determination and denial to give up.


    "We can''t give up yet!"


    "We can''t die now!"


    "I don''t want to die!"


    "This is ourst chance, let us give it our all!"


    Legs red at Champion Onana. "Do it!"


    "Let''s gamble it all".


    For a brief moment, time also seemed to stop for all 3 of these Grade B Supers as they looked at the young Titan warrior and the gigantic Bug fight.


    de clenched his fists around the Lightsaber. ''I can''t die!''


    ''I already failed my mentor once, I can''t allow myself go to hell with such a grave sin, it''s why I need to stay alive, by all means!''


    ''I can''t die!''


    ''I must fight!''


    ''I must win!''


    "Forbidden Pugilist Ability: 3rd Ultimate Form!"


    Bzzz!


    de went loose!


    Seeing the actions of the Pugilist, the Skyrim King was pushed into deep thought as he stole a nce at his friend, the Human King.


    ''That is my fate if we can''t win now, I will be crippled and I will die!''


    ''There''s no guarantee that I can go back to Austere''.


    ''At this rate, even if I manage to go back there, it''s no guarantee that I will be able to survive. I will just be swallowed by the Beast Apocalypse''.


    ''It''s either I die¡­, or I die''. He chuckled at the irony.


    ''Instead of leaving my death to fate, why not take full control and die on my own terms like a true warrior?'' He grinned. ''Sounds exciting''.


    The next moment, nging sounds like chains being unshackled reverberated as the Skyrim King''s eyes became as white as the sun.


    ''I originally prepared this to die with the Beasts of the Apocalypse, but no love lost if I use it here. At least, more people can witness my heroic death''.


    "Forbidden Psychic Technique: Soul Torch!"


    Bzzz¡­!!!


    After setting his soul aze, even the airspace started being affected as the Skyrim King became akin to a Psychic God as he levitated in the skies.


    He was prepared for onest show like fireworks to go down as a hero.


    Seeing both of their actions, Champion Onana chuckled. ''Hehe, why hesitating?''


    ''Because of Delzebub?''<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    ''What is the use of being concerned about the result of a future battle when I''m even yet to survive this one? My obsession is seriously childish''.


    ''Well, if it''s today I die, at least let me die like a true man''.


    ''No more obsessions''.


    ''No more fear''.


    ''Just battle!'' He grinned. ''Like a fool!''


    Letting go of all his worries, Onana''s heart felt serene than he had felt for the past 2 decades together, he grinned and did his thing.


    Pushing all the weapon systems of his mechanic suit into overdrive, hemunicated with his mech suit onest time. ''Let''s go down like heroes!''


    The next moment, he brought out thest token that he was given by his master as he crushed it without hesitation.


    BZZZZ!!!


    For thest time, Admiral Zhao''s silhouette was projected in the skies.


    It was as this projection appeared that Legs also made his move.


    ''It''s now or never!''

    [WARNING! Your soul has suffered a fracture!]

    "Argggh¡­!!!" Legs screamed in pain as he felt like his soul was just cut in 2, it was an unimaginably painful experience.


    Despite the pain, he gritted his teeth through it all. ''It''s now or never!''


    The transformation started!


    BAM!


    All 4 of his beasts mmed into his body as a grotesque transformation took ce. Due to his fractured soul, his game interface game him no transformation options neither did the transformation go smoothly.


    Legs'' bones snapped and cracked as his body was terraformed.


    The next moment, a grotesque beast that seemed like an abomination formed from thebination of a Snake and Frankenstein''s monster was formed.


    Maintaining this state alone brought Legs unimaginable pain.


    The pain twisted his mental process but he fought through it all.


    Heughed the pain away like a mad man. "Hahahaha!"


    "I AM FRANKENSTEIN!"


    In the skies, Admiral Zhao finally pulled the trigger. The Bug Emperor saw it but upied by Uranus and the Skyrim King who already charged in like a mad man, he could not dodge the canon as it wasunched with immense velocity.


    BOOOM¡­!!!


    Round 2 of pain began, and this time, it was thest time.


    "It''s now or never!"


    Legs and Champion Onana jumped in with mad determination!

    Legs screeched and hissed like a rabid Snake!


    Even as Uranus battled the Bug Emperor to the death and as the Bug was bombarded by the effects of the Admiral''s canon, Legs dived in head-first like a brainless beast as he wreaked havoc across the Bug''s body!


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    He was a snake with 4 legs.


    His teeth, his breath, his legs, his ws, his energy, everything became his weapon at this moment as Legs totally left defense behind to give his all into attacking the powerful Bug Emperor.


    He was like a monster on steroids, he no longer thought rationally.


    At this moment, he was a beast, a broken Frankenstein monster.


    The others did not fare better than him. After giving up on his life to die like a hero, the Skyrim King already forgot the notion of safety.


    "Special Psychic Ability: Thought Stealer!"


    "Special Psychic Ability: Psychic Torrent!"


    "Special Psychic Ability: Emotion Overload!"


    "Special Psychic Ability: Tooth for Tooth!"


    "Special Psychic Ability: Cutter of Fate!


    BZZZZ¡­!


    "SCREEEEECH¡­!!!" The Bug Emperor''s painful shrieks reverberated.


    At this moment, this Cosmic Monster was in a state of total agony. The effects of the Admiral''s canon kept on draining its energy and life. And while a berserk Legs caused havoc, this Skyrim caused more trouble.


    Not only did the Skyrim King throw himself at the Bug, sting it with psychic currents, he also did the delicate work of a psychic, messing with the mind.


    Stealing thoughts, nting emotions into an opponent especially one this powerful, these were all dangerous skills that damaged the soul of the user.


    The Skyrim King no longer cared though as he simply attacked. Afterall, he was already burning his soul with no hopes of surviving anymore so where was the need in holding back due to fear of damage to his soul.


    The more he attacked, the more his body started fragmenting even as all his life and soul energy gradually got burnt away.


    He and Legs may be taking the lead in the suicide ranking, but Champion Onana''s fate was not kinder, this mechanic was also already in a berserk state.


    To maximize the damage potential of his mechanic suit, Champion Onana already activated a self-developed technology that enabled him to merge his body with that of his mech, turning him into a literal machine.


    Before, he was a cyborg, a hybrid but with this, he became a literal machine.


    This was an irreversible technology that even if he survived, he would forever be a machine but in exchange, he gained the processing ability of Berserker''s A.I and all the incredibly powerful weapons of his mechanic suit.


    The main drawback this time though was, if Berserker dies, he dies.


    All those errant thoughts were not in Champion Onana''s mind though, all that was on his mind was what was before him, the Bug Emperor.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    He kept on pulling the trigger as his energy reactor was pushed to his limits, turning his body akin to a furnace but he endured the pain.


    All these sacrifices resulted in staggering damage to the Bug.


    The others were all rabid, de was not left behind.


    ''Dying a hero''s death is the fate of a Pugilist''.


    ''My mentor died heroically''.


    ''My death must be even more heroic!''


    Taking a step with his Lightsaber in his grasp, he embodied the sword aura of a Sword God as he dashed in and shed at the Bug with immense power.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    Unlike the others, de didn''t allow himself to be rabid. Drawing on his incredible knowledge pool of Pugilist techniques and abilities, he pushed himself to the limits, unleashing one skill after another in rapid session.


    Uranus was just right above him in the damage-dealing stats.


    As a Quasi-Grade A Titan now, Uranus'' power was immense. Every attack from this Titan dealt incredible damage, the ming sword of his father became his heirloom now as he channeled it to incredible effect.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Each attack from him shook the core of the Bug Emperor.


    The shrieks of the mighty Bug kept on reverberating at increasing intensity.


    Together, they dealt incredible damage to this Cosmic Beast that would have killed 99% of Cmity Grade Supers and Beasts in this same state but this Bug Emperor despite the painful shrieks remained tenacious.


    By now, the Bug Emperor''s gigantic body already shrank to an all-time low. The only problem was that yet, this Bug refused to die.


    About a minuteter, the effects of Admiral Zhao''s canon ended.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Like the first time, this hinted at the 2nd turning of the tides.


    "YOU ALL SHALL DIE!!!" The Bug''s voice was filled with hate and malice.


    Despite the Bug''s angry and desperate roar, Uranus and the others did not let up as they kept on spamming attacks, believing that at one point, he would die.


    Yes, this time, the Bug Emperor came really close to death but¡­, they were not the only ones that felt the pressure and could be stimted into performing inhuman feats that were not possible in normal times.


    The Bug felt fear for the first time in a long time. ''How?''


    ''How is this possible?'' He was in a state of shock.


    ''How did it get to this stage?'' He was struggling to believe the reality.


    ''I don''t want to die!''


    ''I cannot die!''


    ''I CANNOT DIE!'' His emotions stirred.


    The incredible pressure, fear, and pain stimted the Bug Emperor past his limits. On this battlefield, when they least needed it, the Bug''s energy grew!


    It experienced a minor breakthrough!


    "YOU ALL SHALL DIE!" It''s voice wasced with hatred.


    Converging it''s energy in it''s body, this gigantic Bug released it all at once as it sted out with so much power that Darvis visibly shrank!


    For a moment, it was like Darvis was pushed out of it''s orbit!


    The energy was cmitous!


    BZZZZZ!


    BOOM¡­!!!


    Despite being a Psychic who was supposed to keep a distance, the Skyrim King was the closest to this desperate attack. He could not withstand it; his already fragmenting body was torn apart.


    His soul was dissected into a million pieces.


    This time, he saw his end.


    The Skyrim King died!


    He was not the only culprit, Champion Onana received the st despite being partially shielded by Legs who was already sted to smithereens as his life hung on an edge. He survived the st but not what came after.


    The Bug''s gigantic tail mmed down ruthlessly.


    BAM¡­!


    Champion Onana coughed blood, he died!

    Legs came back to life with horror and unwillingness in his ce.


    This time, he was alone, the st didn''t kill Uranus but it managed to cripple him like the others. As for de, he survived but the stunched him far away from this battlefield, temporarily leaving Legs alone.


    This became Legs'' doom as the raging Bug Emperor turned his full focus to him to bring an end to his existence.


    At his wit''s end already, the Bug could not use most of his abilities anymore, he could only use his tail but that was more than enough.


    "YOU ALL SHALL DIE!" The Bug Emperor was berserk!


    BAM! BAM! BAM!

    [CRITICAL HIT!]

    At hisst reincarnation cycle, Legs looked at his surroundings, at Uranus who was crippled and Christensen, at Champion Onana and the others who were already dead, then he finally looked up at the eyes of the Bug Emperor.


    "Hehe¡­, I gave my all".


    BAM!


    Legs died.

 Chapter 469 The Smell Of Death

    ?


    A chilly wind blew across the battlefield.


    The thick smell of blood wafted across the-wide battlefield.


    It was to be thest smell that majority of these survivors would experience.


    The-wide battle still raged, the survivors still fought but it was no longer a brave and valiant resistance, it was now simply a futile and desperate attempt to prolong their lives for as long as possible.


    There were 3 foremost prominent figures in Darvis, Vice President Lydia, President Shanks, and Army Commander Legs.


    Though the death of the President was not public, having not seen him for so long despite the deteriorating condition of the battle, any warrior with a semnce of a brain could already guess what became of him.


    Despite surviving, Vice President Lydia could do nothing to turn the tides of this battle as she was simply not strong enough in the grand scheme of things.


    With those 2 important individuals out, only 1 remained, Legs.


    After the stunts that he pulled during the Battle of Hellfire Mountains, most of the warriors of Darvis only saw President Shanks as the surface leader. To them, Army Commander Legs was their true leader and protector.


    To them, he was the Divine Symbol representing Darvis.


    When Legs arrived from Austere with therge army of reinforcement, morale increased among the warriors. In their opinions, the oue of the battle was already more or less decided.


    They never expected even Legs to struggle so much against the Bug.


    The battle drenched them with the cold hard truth of reality, Legs was no God, he was a human like them, a Super with flesh and blood.


    BAM!


    The Bug Emperor''s tail stabbed through the Army Commander''s chest, impaling his heart and snuffing all remaining semnce of life away from him.


    With the tail stuck in his chest, the Army Commander gave up the ghost.


    Those who witnessed it seemed to see the end of their world as they knew it. They were right, by now, there was really no more hope.


    The war¡­ was lost.


    Young promising warriors crumbled in fear as they saw their idol and role model die before them. The Bugs were ruthless, they rushed and massacred them.


    Veteran warriors copsed in tears. "We''ve lost!"


    Squad Commanders crumbled under the pressure. "We can''t win!"


    Legs'' death was thest stray that needed to snap. After it, Darvis truly crumbled. The Bugs steamrolled through them, squeezing them of their lives, their blood, and their determination.


    It was a total massacre.


    By now, Darvis already lost any semnce of a defense. All the shelters constructed across the were now useless as Bugs invaded inside,ying waste to the millions of lives that hid inside.


    With no one to protect them, they stood no chance.


    Tears were apanied by wails of terror and helplessness.


    "SCREEEEEECH¡­!!!" The mighty Bug shrieked in rage and ecstasy.


    He celebrated his victory as using his tail, he raised the corpse of his greatest nuisance and showcased it to all survivors in the battlefield.


    Christensen saw the lifeless body of his master being paraded.


    "¡­" Looking up, this Summoner chuckled as tears flowed down his eyes.


    ''Even master¡­''


    ''Our fate is really that of death¡­''


    They say during yourst moments, your life shes before you, Christensen experienced the same. His full life shed before him.


    He had shbacks of when he was a young, na?ve, and foolish Prince.


    He had shbacks of the silly fights he engaged in as a kid.


    He had shbacks of how he abused his parent''s power.


    He had shbacks of the first day that he met his master. ''Haha, I''m d Leo got missing, if not I would have never met master''.


    He had shbacks of his training.


    He remembered his Super way. ''He''s dead, I guess there''s really no use to living anymore, I may as well just die''.


    He had shbacks of his highest moments and his lowest ones.


    ''Hehe, my life was well spent, my only regret is dying a virgin''.


    Christensen gathered all his remaining Summoner energy and concentrated it on his body. Bloating it to the maximum, he self-destructed.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    BOOM¡­!!!


    "SCREEEECH¡­!!!" The Bug Emperor kept on shrieking victoriously.


    Watching as his father was murdered and as his uncle was forced to self-destruct, Uranus was traumatized so much that he became mentally defective.


    ''Just¡­, if only I had more power''.


    He coughed blood, then grabbing his ming sword onest time, he charged at the Bug Emperor while screaming in a maniacal manner.


    "DIE¡­!!!"


    BAM!


    Having recovered a bit of power during this time, a Psychic st was all it needed to end this Titan''s life. Uranus froze as his already severely damaged soul was sted out of his body; his body became an empty shell.


    With a sad smile on his face, his body copsed, Uranus died.


    "¡­" de took a deep breath.


    He watched as everything happened.


    He watched as his master died, as Christensen self-destructed, and as Uranus died, he didn''t act because he knew that even if he did, it meant nothing.


    For the first time in his life since meeting his mentor, de wanted to take the easy way out. ''It''s better I just self-destruct¡­'' But he paused.


    He thought of his rtionship with all those who died today.


    He thought of his rtionship with his master, Christensen, Uranus, High Official Eleanor, President Shanks, literally everybody. And he also thought of his rtionship with his dead mentor, Jon Stones.


    "¡­" He took another deep breath.


    ''Death is not to be feared, it''s a release, it''s a liberation''.


    ''What should be feared is dying in the wrong manner''.


    ''The least I can do for them is die honorably''.


    ''At least, I should get master''s body toy on the dirt''.


    With a smile on his face, he channeled all his remaining Pugilist energy into his sword before taking a step forward. This was hisst moments, he knew it, but he would use them to the fullest and embrace death honorably.


    Gathering all his energy on his Lightsaber, he shed.


    BOOM!


    The Bug Emperor defended but the attack chipped at his tail, cutting a significant part that held Legs'' body. The next moment, Legs'' lifeless body copsed on the ground even as the Bug retaliated.


    Another tail attack was all it took to finish de, he didn''t even try to dodge or defend, his work in this world was done.


    Before his consciousness could leave his body, he staggered to where his master''s body fell then he directed a long emotional nce at him.


    He copsed on his knees beside him. "I hope I made you proud¡­"


    de died.


    ¡­


    Hourster¡­


    Standing on top a mountain, Vice President Lydia looked at the gradually dying aftermath of the battle as the Bugs shrieked victoriously.


    No vegetation, no survivors, just blood and devastation.


    She was thest man standing.


    Levitating in the skies, the gigantic Bug Emperor looked at the result of his actions as he screeched loudly in victory.


    "SCREEECH¡­!!!"


    Vice President Lydia smiled. "Given our chances from the beginning against a Grade A Cosmic Horror, I''ll say we tried".


    "It''s an honor to be thest one dying".


    She self-destructed.


    BOOM!


    The history of Darvis came to an end.

 Chapter 470 Universal Treasure- Underworld

    ?


    Whates after death?


    Nothingness?


    Serenity?


    Oblivion?


    No one knew the definite answer, there were a thousand different theories and at this moment, a certain human saw himself caught up in one of those crazy theories that he was told as a kid.


    Blink!


    He blinked his eyes open to see himself walking across a long bridge.


    He had a neutral look on his face as he observed his surroundings with a strange curiosity. This massive bridge was illuminated by a bright white light.


    Despite its ridiculous size, it was filled with souls of numerous races.


    There were humans mixed in-between these marching souls.


    There were Tigermen, Leopardmen, Lizardmen, Skyrim, tiny souls that looked crystalline in nature, and even some souls that seemed like energy beings.


    There were all kinds of souls here.


    As he looked, he was surprised as he saw a face among the few humans closer to him. This was his first time feeling emotion sinceing here but since he could not understand it, he ignored it and kept on observing around curiously.


    Another thing that he noticed was that they were all interconnected by a long chain. And at their very front floated 5 beings with wings.


    They didn''t look menacing, they looked like the gentlest of angels.


    At this moment, these 5 beings led them on the journey through the bridge.


    This human didn''t know the reason why he was here, his consciousness was birthed at the moment he came to this bridge, he was literally a child here.


    Like the others, he followed the crowd withoutints or any questions, marching across the great bridge that seemed to stretch till infinity.


    He didn''t know how long they were marching already but they all seemed to have inexhaustible energy as they kept on marching without pause.


    After what felt like an incredibly long amount of time, they came before a gate, a massive ck gate filled with magical runes.


    Standing before this gate was a gigantic ck Hound with 3 heads of different colors. The middle head being ck, the left head was red and seemed like an erupting volcano, while the right head was green and dripping with sizzling drool.


    He looked curiously at this strange beast.


    The gigantic 3-headed ck Hound watched them attentively as they came, then it grinned the next moment as it took a step forward.


    "3 Adaat Alfarah". Its voice was deep like growling thunder as its red volcano head red at the man.


    It''s green head that dripped with sizzling drool red at a girl that was a mixture of a Jaguar and a human at the far-end of the bridge, while it''s ck head red at a monk with silver skin at the middle of the bridge.


    "Adaat Alfarah". The next moment, a ck energy acted on them, dragging them closer to the 3-headed Hound who licked his lips excitedly.


    Throughout all this, the man felt no emotion, he couldn''t feel any.


    It was at this moment that the 5 winged beings finally moved. Flying closer to the gate, the 5 winged beings touched it in tandem.


    The next moment, power flowed into the gate as it glowed before revealing a blue portal. The numerous souls finally resumed their march.


    Once they entered the portal, they disappeared.


    The 3-Headed Hound shoved the 3 special souls into the portal.


    Bzzz!


    They disappeared.


    ¡­


    "Arggh¡­!" Pain woke him up.


    Opening his eyes, the first thing he felt was fear due to the pain.


    "Arggh!" He cried in pain.


    Looking around, he was shocked. He was no longer in a white brightly illuminated world like during the long journey through the bridge, he was now in a world filled with flowing fire and molten rock everywhere.


    He was trapped in what seemed like a small ind in this fire world.


    At this moment, sickles pierced through his legs and hands which were attached to 2 rocks. As his blood dripped, it sizzled as it was burnt.


    The pain was stinging.


    Perhaps, it was the pain, but it made him remember vocabry.


    "W-Where am I?"


    "What is this?"


    ng!


    His attention was attracted by the nging of des.


    Looking, he saw a man with horns. No! It was a Demon with horns.


    Almost 2 times taller than him, this buff demon with scaly ck skin, 2 sharp horns and fangs turned to look at him as soon as his attention was drawn.


    Right ahead of the Demon was a table, it was the table where he picked the twin des from. On top the table were all manner of tools and weapons, some sharp while others blunt to be used for impact damage.


    He opened his stony lips and shed an eerie smile at him, revealing his pointed row of teeth that seemed to be forged from a furnace.


    "Wee to the Underworld".


    "The batch this time contained 3 Adaat Alfarath¡­" He raised one of his red des, licking it as instead of blood,va flowed from the wound. "Exciting!"


    The human''s eyes widened in horror as he looked at him. "Who are you?"


    "Me?" He grinned. "I am a Demon created by the All Father".


    "You see? I have a habit of telling all my Adaat Alfarath much knowledge about the underworld before torturing them, it''s because you all deserve it".


    "I''m not gonna lie though, it also gives me pleasure".


    "Of this batch, you and those 2 miserable bums are the best specimen. The others don''t have the power to withstand torture from me, their soul may dissipate into nothingness which is something that the All Father hates".


    "It''s souls of your caliber that really brings the pleasure".


    "You guys never fold, it''s always sopact, the perfect Adaat Alfarath".


    ng!


    Hitting the des together again, he walked closer to the human. "The Underworld is the Universal Treasure of the All Father, the Demonification Mage".


    "This tiny underworld is an offshoot created by the Universal Treasure".


    "Demon Master Zorgoth was assigned as the leader of this underworld".


    "I am the Demon Master''s strongest Asura". He grinned malevolently.


    "Our job is to transport more souls that have enough super energy to the All-Father''s Underworld, providing him with an endless supply of warriors for his Undying Soul Army".


    "It''s boring work, really".


    "That''s why I cherish opportunities to get rare specimens like you".


    "You make my work be much less boring".


    ng!


    He pped the des together again, causing the human to shudder, he sniffed. "Can you please spare me? I did nothing, please!"


    "Spare you?" He looked amused.


    "This is not a charity; this is the underworld".<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Not protecting your soul from being stolen after death is your fault. The Underworld is your prison, you can''t escape".


    "What''s the sentence?"


    The Demon Asura grinned. "For life".


    "¡­" The man was gripped by fear and horror.


    Gathering energy in his right arm, the Demon stabbed one of the des forward as without obstruction, it pierced into the stomach of the chained soul.


    "Arghhhh¡­!!!" The human screamed in pain.


    "Hahahaha¡­, the sweet sound of your scream gives me adrenaline".


    "It''s my drug and music, few sounds beat it".


    "Perhaps, hip hop?"


    BAM!


    "Argghh¡­!" The human roared in pain as his head was stabbed, his brain juice was exposed as the fire scorched it, causing him to jerk in pain like a mad man.


    "You know the best part of it all?"


    "Once the All Father catches your soul, you can''t die which means I can utilize all my creative juices".


    "Ahh! This is Paradise!"


    BAM!


    "Ugh¡­!" The human growled and grunted in unimaginable pain.


    "I get to enjoy you till the Demon Masteres for inspection and guessing from howzy he is, I think that''ll be a few centuriester".


    "Hehehe¡­, thank you human".


    BAM!


    The human screamed till his voice was hoarse yet it healed miraculously, allowing him to keep up the tempo of screaming at the top of his voice.


    He didn''t know how long he was already suffering for, but after some time, he no longer felt any pain. He started feeling other emotions for the first time as the sensation of pain resonated so much with him.


    He seemed to have experienced this feeling a lot beforeing here.


    From pain, despair and hopelessness set in.


    These negative emotions bubbled on with time, gaining momentum until they hit a peak, then his eyes suddenly widened as a scene shed in his head.


    He saw himself hit by a gigantic tail.


    [YOU DIED!]


    The pain was unimaginable, it was even worse than what he felt now.


    The feeling of despair and hopelessness, he finally knew why they felt so familiar. It was because he had experienced them before.


    ''What is this?''


    As soon as he asked even as he kept on being tortured, suddenly, in his vision, something like a screen popped to life.

    BAM!


    The Demon Asura stabbed him again but Legs no longer screamed in pain.


    With eyes staring into space, he regained all his memories.


    ''So, we lost in the end? No wonder''.


    ''And now that I think of it, that human soul I saw the other time that made me feel surprise is Daemon. He was also brought here''.


    ''Also, those 2 ssified as Adaat Alfarath are also Grade B souls''.


    BAM!


    The Demon Asura stabbed him again. "Huh? Why did you stop screaming?"


    "¡­" Silence reigned for a few seconds.


    Then, Legs looked at him, and this time, his eyes had an ominous glint to it.

 Chapter 471 Defeating The Demon Asura

    ?


    "Why did you stop screaming?"


    Legs looked at the Demon Asura. "How would you look as my pet?"


    "Huh?" The Demon looked at him in a confused manner.


    His eyes showed suspicion and uncertainty. All souls that were imed by the Underworld were supposed to lose all their memories and be clean souls, ready to be turned into the perfect soul warriors in the All-Father''s Soul Army.


    This soul''s words just now, they didn''t seem like that of a clean soul.


    "You''re still specting? Damn, you''re really dense".


    "¡­" The Demon''s eyes darkened.


    Legs grinned though it caused him more pain. "You''ve really caused me a lot of pain, killing you will be giving you the easy way out".


    "What evil can I do to you that will really stick?"


    The Demon Asura''s eyes narrowed, then his power rumbled the next moment as he grabbed his des. The Demon had magical powers and from the intensity, clearly, he was a Grade B Demon Asura.


    His fiery eyes were squinted like those of a snake. "You recovered your memories? How? Are you a Necromancer?"


    Legs'' eyes shone. "Oh, Necromancer''s regain their memories here?"


    "Thanks for the tip".


    Legs finally made his move.


    After what felt like an eternity, he could feel his Summoner energy again as it erupted out of his Super core. Green energy surrounded him the next moment even as the Demon Asura''s eyes widened in shock.


    "How?"


    "There are lots of things in this world that you have no idea about".


    "You know, the best thing about having the powers of a Spirit Summoner is that my beasts don''t need to be here for me to be able to beat you".


    -----


    You have activated Spirit Summoner Active Ability: Spirit Conjurer!


    ----


    BZZZ¡­!


    Powerful wind elemental energy suddenly surged inside this torture chamber. With a smooth slicing sound, the chains that bound Legs were cut.


    With that, Legs finallynded on his knees.


    "Ugh¡­!" He groaned in pain as his injuries settled in.


    "Moving as a soul feels so weird".


    "DIE! HUMAN!" The Demon Asura charged towards him.


    Legs directed a nonchnt nce at him. "You know, another reason why I''m peculiar is that even in death, I can still ess my weapons".

    Legs could have easily retrieved the Positron Rifle to continually st this Demon to bits but in enemy territory, it was paramount to be silent and stay hidden.


    Channeling Ak''s conjured wind energy, Legs moved like the sh.


    Jumping at an incredible angle that made him dodge the twin des of the Demon Asura, fire coated the edge of his first dagger while frost coated the edge of the other as he unleashed dangerous shes at the Demon''s vitals.


    By this time, he alreadypletely analyzed the Demon Asura.


    ''If the All-Father is a mage, there''s a great likelihood that he''s also a mage, I need to prevent him from using powerful spells''.


    ''As a Demon, he''s also likely to have great physical strength''.


    ''His ck scales are stiff but there''s an opening at his neck and shoulder''.


    ''That is my ticket''.


    Whoosh!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Lava erupted from the shoulders of the Demon where it was cut.


    "GRAWRR¡­!!!" The Demon growled angrily as it charged back to meet him.


    A Grade B Demon was always going to be a troublesome opponent but Legs was prepared. Having just fought a war to decide the fate of a full, he still had some war-rted stuff in his inventory.


    He decided to end this battle as swiftly as possible due to a reason.


    ''I can''t afford to attract too much attention here''.


    ''I barely know the workings here''.


    Thankfully, he still had a pill that was concocted by George.


    -----


    [Inventory essed:]


    [You have retrieved a Pill: Freezing Pill!]


    ¡­


    You have activated Weapon Enchanted Ability: Freezing Touch!


    ----


    Without hesitation, Legs sacrificed 40% of his mana points as he lunged forward for the attack. With the effects of the Freezing Pill already starting to take effect, the Demon Asura was unable to react on time.


    Legs stabbed his dagger into the exposed forehead of this Demon.


    The next moment, it growled loudly as it thrashed in pain.


    But the thrashing onlysted an instant because it finally paid off at this moment. Thebination of the Freezing Pill and the Freezing Touch enchantment pushed the Demon over the edge, it felt all its body processes freezing.


    The next moment, the worst happened, its whole body froze into an ice cube.


    Its eyes were wide open in shock even in the frozen state.


    By now, some of the other Demons around this ind who were already attracted by themotion here were already started to make their way over, putting more pressure on Legs to end it all now.


    Legs was not troubled though, with the Demon Asura frozen and unable to retaliate for a few seconds, that was all the time that he needed.


    Rushing closer, he ced his hands on the head of the Demon, then he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Grandmaster Beast Tamer


    ----


    Legs red into the eyes of the Demon.


    "I don''t need to beat you b*tch!"


    "I am a Grandmaster Beast Tamer!"


    "All I need is to make you my pet!"


    The Demon Asura''s soul reacted violently to the intrusion but for Legs, after bing a Grade B Summoner, taming beasts of this level was now a piece of cake since the sess rate was an outstanding 90%.


    Beast taming was literally his strongest aspect as a Summoner.


    Not even the All Father himself could save this Demon now.


    After jerking a bit in resistance, its eyes rxed in submission.


    This was when the ice finally shattered.


    Crack!


    A few secondster, dozens of Demons with different abominable shapes and forms arrived as they looked at the middle of the torture ind. There was nothing wrong, the soul was still chained and the Asura was having the time of his life.


    Noticing their presence, the Asura was instead infuriated.


    "You dare interrupt my moment of pleasure?!"


    This Demon''s powerful magic erupted the next moment as chanting in the Demonnguage, he casually cast a powerful spell.


    The next moment, it was like a bomb detonated, literally making the surrounding fire to erupt and increase to a few more thousand degrees as it washed towards the dozens of Demons who had the guts toe interrupt.


    None of them survived, only fossils were left of them in mere seconds.


    "Humph!" He snorted arrogantly.


    None of the other Demons dared butt in, they scurried away.


    As the ind became isted again, Legs grinned. "Good boy".

 Chapter 472 Rising From The Depths Of Hell; Planning

    ?


    After all the Demons left, Legs copsed on the ground.


    The pain from the Demon''s torture remained but that was not what really affected him at this moment, it was the pain deep in his heart.


    That pain of defeat and his fear for the worst.


    On the ground, he buried his head in his legs in defeat.


    ''BOW BEFORE THE NEW ERA OR DIE!'' The memories haunted him.


    ''BOW BEFORE YOUR CONQUEROR!''


    ''BOW BEFORE ME!''


    ''I SHALL LAY WASTE TO YOUR LIVES AND ALL YOUR INHABITATIONS!


    ''YOU ALL SHALL DIE!'' He felt goosebumps and fear as the voice reverberated in his head, as if intent on reminding him about his failure and death.


    Memories shed in his head like it was just yesterday it happened.


    Memories of when the Psychic Release was unleashed as Darvis was plunged into a trajectory of death. He remembered Darvis flooded in blood.


    He could see it reying in his head as Army Commanders mutated, going rogue and fighting against their own squads. He could see the Space Bugsying waste to millions of lives in the chaos that ensued.


    President Shanks'' death also reyed in his head.


    After years of developing the together, he already became close friends with the President. Watching his friend die before him without being able to do anything, that feeling of helplessness really sank in like a disease.


    He watched as everything elerated to thest moments.


    He watched as all of them threw safety to the wind to give it all into fighting the Bug Emperor. He watched as for the first time in his life, he sacrificed his sanity which was usually his greatest weapon in wars for raw strength.


    He watched as the Skyrim King sacrificed everything, including Champion Onana, then he watched as his very first student was crippled.


    Watching Christensen being crippled, perhaps that was when the fuse switched in his head the wrong way, he simply forgot sanity at that point.


    Despite all the sacrifices, in the end, it was not enough.


    Power was power.


    He watched a lot of them die then, now all he could think of was. ''They watched me die''.


    ''Uranus watched me die''. He felt something gripping his heart.


    He refused to cry. Watching him die, he could already guess the oue of hisst student and his adopted son, they would not hesitate to go to hell with him.


    Legs felt a bitter taste in his mouth, he twisted his lips and spat on the hot volcano ind. ''F*ck weakness''.


    He ruthlessly cut his mind off it the next moment. ''There''s no use thinking about the past, my soul survived and that''s all that mattered''.


    Suddenly, something clicked in his mind. ''If this so-called Universal Treasure didn''t get my soul, does that mean souls really dissipate after death?''


    ''There goes my answer then, what follows death is nothingness''.


    He finally found the time to smile, a smirk even. ''My future is not decided yet and that''s all that matters''.


    He essed his virtual interface again.

    Legs clenched his right fist and instead of his normal green Summoner energy, the same ck sinister energy that the demons used gathered in his hand.


    He grinned. ''I never expected to get stronger even in death''.


    ''This means I can now use magic but¡­'' His eyes narrowed. ''I''ve always been a Summoner, I don''t mind learning basic defensive Demonic magic spells but I''ll always see myself as a Summoner, I don''t want to be a Mage''.


    ''Learning defensive Demonic magic spells is the best that I''ll go''.


    ''Besides, the Underworld Summoning and Demonification Magic just opened a whole new level of options to me in battle''. He smirked.


    ''What follows next after this is how to escape''.


    He essed his game interface again.

    ----


    Legs picked the keyword. ''Go back in time''.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    ''Does that mean there is a power or an existence here in this Underworld that can help me go back in time? It''s obviously a hint''.


    His eyes widened the next moment. ''If I can go back in time, that means not just escaping the Underworld, but likely being able to go back to the battle".


    Legs'' eyes shone. ''A second chance!''


    ''If I utilize it well, history may change''.


    ''All that I need is proper nning''.


    ''I''ve decided to use brute force once and it didn''t work out, I have no choice but to return to my normal staple, my brain, that''s my only way to win''.


    ''First, I need a n''. His eyes gleamed.


    Standing up, he looked at the Demon Asura that he just tamed. "Tell me all that you know about the Underworld".


    The Demon Asura nodded profusely. "The Demon Master Zorgoth is the strongest Demon assigned to this Underworld and is a Grade A Demon Master".


    "With me, there are 5 Demon Asuras".


    "The total number of the other Demons in this Underworld are numerous".


    "There are three major regions in this Underworld, the 3 peaks".


    "This region is called the Inner Underworld and is closest to the innermost region, the Demon Master''s Sanctuary".


    "This is where all interesting specimens like you are kept until the Demon Master finallyes for inspection to send you to the All-Father''s Underworld".


    "As for thest region, it''s called the Outer region".


    "That is where all the weak specimens are kept".


    Legs rubbed his chin. "You speak eloquently for a Demon".


    "I am a Grade B Demon Asura".


    "Oh¡­, continue then".


    For the next few minutes, the Demon Asura kept on revealing different facts about this Underworld. When he was done, Legs asked a question.


    "You said that Necromancers don''t lose their memories here, is it true?"


    "Yes". He nodded respectfully.


    "Nice¡­" Legs rubbed his head as ideas flowed. "That makes things so much easier". His eyes gleamed.


    "Also, my case of recovering my memories, is this the first case?"


    "It is extremely rare but you are not the first case. During the first few days of being brought to the Underworld, souls have the tendency of recovering their memories through different impulses but we try to prevent it".


    "We prevent it by creating this environment fit only for Demons".


    "Unless you''re a Demon, you have nothing inmon with this environment that will stimte your memories which makes your case very peculiar".


    Legs nodded in deep thought. "After the first few days, what happens?"


    "By then, the light of the Universal Treasure would have seeped deep into their soul, merging with it. Then, they be total clean souls, they no longer have any hopes of ever recovering their memories".


    "How many days does this usuallysts?"


    "10 days".


    "How many days have I spent here?"


    "4 days".


    Legs'' eyes gleamed. ''That means those 2 still stand a chance''.


    He looked at the Demon Asura again. "The other Demon Asuras, do they have the same power level as you?"


    "I am stronger than only one, the others are stronger than me".


    "The 3 least Asuras, I believe you can beat them but not the Upper 2".


    "They have unlocked partial affinity with the Universal Treasure".


    Legs smiled. "I guess that''s my cue to avoid them".


    "One final question, my contracted beasts, did their soul alsoe here?"


    "Yes, since you all died at the same time that the Underworld''s long-range collector was activated, you all were transported here at the same time"


    Legs'' smile widened. "That''s all, thanks for your cooperation".


    Sitting cross-legged in this hot environment, Legs closed his eyes as he entered deep thinking mode.


    Remembering all the clues that he got during his journey here, all the information that he just got from the Demon Asura, and piecing them together with his own deductions, he started making a n.


    It was an extremelyplicated n but he put in the brain power to make it work out. After what felt like a few hours, he finally opened his eyes.


    Then, he asked hisst question.


    "Demon, is there any power or existence here that can enable me to rewind time and travel back in time?"


    "¡­!" The Demon Asura''s eyes widened in shock.


    "H-How did you know?!"


    "Answer me!" Legs'' tone turned cold.


    "The Demon Master''s Universal Treasure, the Time Ring".


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    Legs'' eyes widened in shock. ''He has a Universal Treasure?!!!"

 Chapter 473 Rescuing Daemon

    ?


    For the past 4 days, Daemon was having a mental breakdown right from the moment when he saw the Army Commander also here.


    ''Have I gone mad?''


    ''Was I hallucinating?''


    ''Is that really the Army Commander that I saw?''


    ''How is that possible?''


    ''Does that mean¡­, the war was lost?''


    He simply could not wrap his head around the facts or rather still, he just didn''t want to believe the reality that was being presented before him.


    ''If we lost, what became of the fate of Darvis?''


    ''Did we get enved like the Bug Emperor always yammered about?''


    ''If our got enved, then why did the Army Commander have to die?''


    ''Or, did he simply refuse to live a life of very andmitted suicide?''


    He doubted it. ''The Army Commander is not one tomit suicide''.


    That was when the extremely unlikely but narrow possibility came to his head. ''Was it all a lie? Was it all a scam so we could be conquered without putting much of a fight and so they can win without suffering much casualties?''


    ''Was the Bug Emperor a shrewd tactician all along?''


    ''Is Darvis already a deste devoid of life?''


    The more he thought about them, the more spections came to his mind, leaving his head in such a chaotic state that he could barely think straight.


    The only other time when he was not thinking about the war and its oue was when bored Demons came to carry him away to torture for the thrill.


    It was during one of these torture sessions yesterday that he encountered a certain beast, he almost cried out in shock on seeing the familiar ferocious beast.


    ''Predator!''


    "ROAR¡­!!!" Despite being wiped of his memories already, he remained aggressive as he fought back against the Demons torturing him.


    Daemon was happy on seeing another familiar face, but at the same time he was sad because Predator already lost all his memories. At the same time, he was sad because this confirmed the Army Commander''s death.


    ''I guess we were doomed from the beginning''.


    ''The Army Commander always seemed like a man of miracles, winning battles with odds that were overwhelmingly against us".


    "He always seemed to find a way from the deepest depths of despair but I guess even him has a limit''.


    ''Not every battle can be won''. He sumbed to reality.


    The only thing keeping him sane at this moment was just the feeling of experiencing something that you''ve read about. ''I always thought the Universal Treasure was a long-lost treasure at this era''.


    ''Master''s books recorded it but I never expected to be caught in it one day''.


    ''I don''t have much hopes of escaping it seems''.


    ''I may as well just use myst days as a free soul to reflect on my life''.


    ''Sigh¡­''


    In the fiery den where he and hundreds of other souls were kept under a gigantic rock, as their day went uneventfully, a powerful Demon suddenly descended, his powerful descent sending rocks and fire flying everywhere.


    THUD!


    "Get me that soul!" A deep voice reverberated.


    All the Demons reacted, scurrying around like they just saw their Commander. In no time, all the other Demons in this area were separated to corners of this den, leaving only a single soul behind, Daemon.


    ''Gulp¡­''


    ''What have I done this time?''


    Without saying a word of exnation, the huge and powerful Demon tookrge strides closer before picking him up with a devious grin.


    Daemon recognized the grin; it was that grin of having found food.


    He took a deep breath, perhaps hisst one.


    ''At least, I won''t get to live the rest of my life as a soul warrior''.


    Souls captured by the Underworld could not be killed but they could be absorbed by the Demons, it was their way of getting stronger.


    CRUNCH!


    With one powerful bite, the Demon swallowed the soul.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    He turned and left, then activities continued in this den like nothing significant happened. It was just a casual activity in a normal day in the Underworld.


    ¡­


    "Wee back, Core Protector".


    "Holy Smokes!" Daemon jolted in shock.


    When his eyes finally adjusted to the dim lighting, he recognized that he was inside what seemed like a moving rock. Not just any moving rock, the molten walls of this rock pulsed at intervals like it was a living rock.


    This was shocking but not the most shocking to this Necromancer, it was the man sitting before him that shocked him the most.


    He rubbed his eyes rigorously to confirm that he was not hallucinating nor dream-walking. "A-Army Commander Legs?"


    "Yeah, it''s me".


    "We''re currently inside the stomach of the Demon that ate you".


    Daemon chuckled. "Damn, the depression and loneliness must have really gotten to me, I thought I was just killed by a high-tier Demon".


    "Swallowed, not killed, Imanded him to do it".


    Hearing him talk again, Daemon was even more spooked now. He took careful steps closer, then he touched the Commander''s soul. "Holy!"


    "You''re real!"


    "I''m not hallucinating!"


    "Yeah, you''re not". Legs nodded.


    The next moment, Legs was bombarded with questions. "How did you do it? How are you here? How did you recover your memories? How were you able to subdue such a powerful Grade B Demon?"


    "What happened after I died? What is the oue of the war?"


    Legs took time to answer all the questions, of course omitting his game interface then he finally answered the most pivotal question. "We lost".


    He told Daemon everything that happened after his death.


    By the time that Legs was done, a sad solemn atmosphere was in the air. "May their souls rest in peace".


    Legs nodded.


    His face finally became serious as he looked at Daemon. "I didn''t juste to save you for no reason, I have been hatching an escape n".


    "I came to save you because you''re myrade and also because I already made you an integral part of my n".


    "I''ve learned that being a Necromancer gave you privileges".


    "Tell me more privileges that you''ve discovered".


    "Uhh¡­, apart from remembering everything that happened from the moment ofing and recognizing where I was brought to, perhaps the only other privilege is that I can shift souls in here".


    "Exin".


    "I can perfectly possess low to middle-tier Demons".


    "¡­" Legs kept silent for a few seconds as he assimted this new information, integrating and adapting it into his escape n.


    "What if you meet an injured Upper Demon, can you possess it?"


    Daemon scratched his head. "Depends".


    Legs nodded.


    About a minuteter, he finally drew the n out for Daemon.


    "This is my n; I call it Operation Escape from Hell!"


    "First, I need to get all my beasts back".


    "Then, we get these 2 souls, they''re very integral to our n".


    "Then, we go for the final piece, the ring".


    After looking through the n, Daemon was amazed, he looked at Legs like he was a god. "You really crafted an escape n from here!"


    "Yeah". Legs nodded with a calm but calcting look in his eyes.


    "You said you saw Predator, let''s go for him first".


    Operation Escape from Hell started!

 Chapter 474 Tarmac, The Upper Demon!

    ?


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    The beast roared and snarled as he dragged at the chains.


    "Hahaha".


    "Nightmare Beasts are really ferocious monsters!"


    "Even here in the Underworld, in a clean te, he''s this ferocious".


    "He''ll make a formidable addition to the All-Father''s Soul Army in the future but as for now, hehe, we get to y with him".


    With 5 Demons distracting the ferocious beast from the front, 2 others sneaked behind it as they stabbed pointed spears at its behind, injuring it.


    "ROAR¡­!!!" The Nightmare Beast roared and ferociously turned around, dragging the thick chains and adding pressure to them as they creaked.


    "Hahaha¡­!" Theyughed at the sight excitedly.


    "The Upper Demons are really generous for leaving us an entertainment source of this caliber, it''s so thrilling man, I feel like I''m on the edge of death".


    "Muahahaha¡­!"


    "Ahhh! Hold him, drag the chain, arghhh¡­!"


    One of the Demons yed too close to death.


    Before the others could react, the ferocious beast''s dangerous row of teeth already mped down against his thick ck scales as it crushed them, including its horns and everything Demon about it as molten fire sprayed everywhere.


    Crushed stony flesh and molten fire were what was left of the Demon.


    Before the others could understand what happened, a Demon was dead.


    They were stunned but not scared, they were rather thrilled.


    "Hahaha¡­!"


    "So ferocious!"


    "See the way he died! So foolish, hahaha!"


    The Nightmare Beast growled as he looked at them.


    For hours, the Demons kept on toying with the powerful beast. With the power of the Universal Treasure restraining him due to his clean state, Predator could hardly use his powers but he fully utilized the little that he had ess to.


    Even without the powers granted by his Darkness affinity, his scales alone were enough to grant him crazy resistance to the tortures of these Demons. Also, his ws and row of teeth made him an ever-present threat.


    While the demons had the time of their lives, 2 souls appeared behind them.


    Legs held out his 2 Enchanted daggers. "Make your choice".


    "I''ll take the Frost Dagger". Daemon quickly made his choice.


    "Huh?" Hearing mutters behind them, the Demons were confused as they turned around only to see 2 wandering souls standing behind them.


    For a few seconds, they were confused and that was all it took.


    Legs did not make a move, he allowed Daemon to flex his muscles after 4 days of ruthless torture. Clearly, the Necromancer still got it, he did not use his Necromancer abilities yet but his base strength and a dagger was enough.


    He vent all his pain and frustration on the Demons, giving them ruthless deaths that was sure to live with them even in death.


    Whoosh!


    The feeling of the wind caressing their stony faces was thest thing that the Demons ever felt, the next moment, their heads were divided in twain.


    Daemon didn''t just slice their heads, he made sure to poke more than enough holes in their fiery brains, freezing them to dy their deaths, enough to make them feel a crazy type of agony that hit the soul before their deaths.


    Their huge bodies twitched in agony and helplessness before they died.


    "GRRRR¡­!"


    The Nightmare Beast growled as it red at the soul who killed the Demons.


    "It''s ok boy, it''s me". Another soul appeared before it the next moment.


    The first instinct was to attack anyone getting that close but just from the presence of this soul, the Nightmare Beast paused. Its body became so still that for a moment, it seemed like it was petrified as its eyes became dazed.


    This continued for seconds until its eyes finally moved again, ecstasy showed.


    Predator did not hesitate; one giant leap and this beast flew towards his master like a rocket, shocking Legs.


    "Take it easy¡­" His words were muffled as he was ttened to the ground.


    Predator was now mature and powerful but that took nothing from him after experiencing death once, he licked the life out of his master excitedly.


    A few minutes of bondingter, Legs fed Predator his Summoner energy so he could recover from his injuries.


    Inside the Underworld, every other type of energy was nonexistent except demonic energy and was why Daemon was handicapped and decoded not to use his Necromancer abilities.


    Using his Necromancy abilities now would deplete his energy and in here, he had no way of replenishing it. He kept his energy for when he truly needed it.


    After recovering his memories, Predator regained his full power.


    The problem though was that since there was no dark energy here, if Predator exhausted it, he had no hopes of recovering energy and this was where Legs came in with his newly gained underworld energy.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Like the Demons here, he could use underworld energy to replenish his reserves and through their organic connection, he could also help his contracted beasts recover.


    Once Predator fully recovered, Legs stood up. "Let''s go get your brothers".


    Predator growled as his eyes turned dangerous on remembering how he was tortured, he was determined to save his brothers.


    With the ability of the Upper Demon that he tamed to carry them in its stomach, Legs had no apparent problems with keeping their presence hidden.


    He conversed with the Demon. "Where do you think my beasts will be kept?"


    "There are higher chances that they are in the Inner Underworld".


    "We should try Tarmac''s cave".


    "Who is Tarmac?"


    "The weakest of the Upper Demons".


    ¡­


    Unlike the Upper Demon that took Legs''ir, Tarmac''sir was underneath a giant Mountain in the Inner Underworld.


    It was quiet and isted from the rest of the Underworld.


    To avoid amotion, Legs left the Upper Demon behind as only he, Predator, and Daemon made their way in through the narrow tunnel.


    The walls leading to the cave held a lot of history, this Demon clearly seemed to appreciate art as he drew numerous arts of his torture victims.


    Legs saw souls of all kind of races illustrated in the walls.


    His torture style was much moreplicated and varied than the first Demon, Legs was disgusted by how extreme this Demon could go.


    After 3 minutes of silently walking, they finally heard sounds.


    "Grrrrr¡­!" The growl of a beast could be heard.


    Then, the silent whispers of a cunning Demon could also be heard.


    "My love¡­"


    "You''ve still not shown me yourst form, the Blood Vampire".


    "Hihihi¡­, I want to see it".


    "Show me!"


    "Grrrr¡­!"


    "SHOW ME!" He suddenly roared impatiently.


    The sound of ws digging into flesh and ripping it apart reverberated as the beast growled and groaned in pain.


    "SHOW ME!"


    "SHOW ME!"


    After some time, after digging holes across the body of the Dark Warg who Legs could see now, the voice finally lowered again.


    "Ok¡­, ok, you don''t want to show me".


    "I''m not pained".


    Legs could finally see the demon clearly. Unlike other demons, this demon was lean and athletic, standing on 2 legs like humans but with more muscles built for speed and agile leaping.


    Its teeth were sharp like daggers, including its ws.


    Behind it was a table containing its myriad torture tools. At this moment, he was using none of them though as he caressed the skin of the Dark Warg with his ws, leaving painful wounds behind in the process.


    "My precious, why won''t you show me?"


    "Ah! I get it, you''re starved of pleasure".


    "Are you gay?"


    "GRRRR¡­!!!" The Dark Warg growled.


    "Hihihi, I guessed it right, that''s easy".


    As the demon went behind the Dark Warg, a certain Summoner who was already disgusted beyond belief was already burning with rage as he looked at the scene that was before him. The beast beside him burned with even more rage.


    Legs could not hold himself anymore, he moved.


    BOOM¡­!


    "Filthy Demon!" He roared as he brought out his Positron Rifle.

 Chapter 475 Battle Against Tarmac!

    ?


    Legs was so incensed that he could not wait to see this Demon dead.


    To him, fighting the conventional way would take too long and was why he brought out the Positron Rifle right away. His intention was to st this Demon into smithereens, riding the Underworld of an existence this broken.


    "Filthy Demon!" Legs roared as he aimed with the Rifle.


    -----


    You have activated Weapon Ability: Transcendent Punisher!


    ----


    "Army Commander, making a lot of noise will attract other Demons!" Daemon warned but he was just a fraction toote.


    BOOM¡­!


    The Positron Rifle boomed to life.


    The Transcendent Punisher didn''t shoot a concentrated st of atomic energy, despite his rage, Legs was aware of Warp Prime''s presence. He did not want to st his own contracted beast to smithereens in a fit of rage.


    Despite his rage, he exhibited a great deal of self-control.


    Instead of 1rge epassing positron shot, the Transcendent Punisher divides the attack into multiple smaller positrons with a ridiculous shot rate.


    The Transcendent Punisher could unleash up to 10 positron shots in a second. And in this state of extreme self-control, Legs was able to control every individual shot to hit the Demon at just right where he wanted it.


    At this rate, there was no hopes of the Demon dodging, or so he thought.


    "Intruders!"


    "HISS¡­!!!" The Demon hissed as he exploded, turning into an afterimage.


    BOOM¡­!


    The movement of this Demon induced a sonic boom!


    Legs was shocked but he improvised instantly. ''If you dodge the 1st second shots, there''s no way you can keep it up for 5 seconds''.


    The Transcendent Punisher sts shots for 5 straight seconds.


    Honing his concentration to a peak, Legs followed his instincts as he pointed the Positron Rifle at the afterimages, turning this cave upside down.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The sounds of the positron shots hitting reverberated like thunder!


    Despite the incredible damage that was dealt to this cave, not a single shot managed to scratch the Demon''s skin, Legs was bbergasted.


    Whoosh!


    Feeling the wind blow, he felt goosebumps as his hair stood on end.


    He was unable to dodge, in the end, it was his contracted beast who saved him. Predator''s primal beast instincts that were already honed through numerousrge-scale wars warned him on time as he jumped in to save his master.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Predator''s ws collided with that of the Upper Demon, Tarmac. The impact was like that of 2s colliding as the shockwave sted out with force.


    The shockwave brought Legs back to reality.


    ''This is a Grade B Demon, damn, I underestimated him!''


    His battle against the first Upper Demon skewed his evaluation of the Upper Demon''s strength. For a moment, he forgot that he avoided shing with the Upper Demon head-on in order to freeze it into an ice cube and tame it instead.


    Deciding to sh with this one head-on without even researching was foolish on his part, he recognized his mistake instantly.


    ''Beast taming, that''s my strength, not head-on battles!'' Despite making the mistake already, it was not toote to adapt.


    Legs adapted on the spot as he threw the Positron Rifle up.


    Getting the hint, Core Protector Daemon grabbed the weapon.


    Holding this weapon, he seemed to feel the heavy history behind it. ''This is the weapon that the Army Commander used to st Clown, my best friend, I better live up to expectations and use it well''.


    He could still remember that day vividly like it was yesterday.


    Instantly, he entered a heightened state of mind and concentration.


    Legs did not just give up the weapon, he improvised.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration!


    You have fused with Predator!

    Again, after dying, Legs improved in another aspect as a Summoner, his base control level with Predator increased by another 5%.


    After the sh with Predator, force of inertia kicked in, the Demon may be fast but he could not simply beat thews of physics to retreat instantly. This was all the time in the world that Legs needed to counterattack.


    Instantly after he fused with his beast, he charged again.


    At point-nk range, the Demon could not stop it as he raised his lean arms and ws to block. His ws collided with Predator''s tusks with a bam!


    BOOM!


    This time, it was not even close, the Demon was overpowered.


    Coughing blood, this Demon flew back after being hit by this attack, leaving Legs stunned. ''It''s that weak?''


    His eyes widened in understanding. ''Speed is its power then''.


    ''Damn, I didn''t even do my homework, I should have asked my Demon''.


    This new discovery didn''t change much of his n though. Like Predator, seeing his master suddenly charge in, Warp Prime was left in a daze.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    This beast was taken on a ride through previously hidden memories.


    Legs did not have the time to let the Dark Warg fully recover his memories though, he could recover themter, now was the time to fight.


    He charged towards Warp Prime while giving Daemon instructions.


    "Speed is his power but he''s weak, shoot rapid shots to harass it".


    "Wait for my attack!"


    Daemon didn''t need his reminder, this Necromancer already ignored everything else in the world. As the Demon coughed blood, flying through the air, he hit the trigger with all seriousness, prompting this Rifle to life.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The sound of positron shots moving through the air reverberated like drum beats of war, the sounds were adrenaline-inducing.


    During this time, Legs charged close to Warp Prime then without slowing down, he directly charged straight into this beast.


    -----


    You have activated Demi-God Summoner Active Ability: Beast Amalgamation- Partial Form!


    You have fused Warp Prime and Predator!


    You have created a temporary Evolved Beast: Darkness Demon- Nightmare!


    ¡­


    You have activated Darkness Demon Active Ability: Shadow Blink!


    You have activated Darkness Demon Active Ability: Space Shredder!


    ---


    The sound of the airspace being shredded apart reverberated.


    With Daemon keeping the Upper Demon upied, he barely reacted when the Darkness Demon appeared behind him. For the first time since his birth, this Demon felt his scales stand on end as he felt goosebumps but it was toote.


    BOOM¡­!


    The air was shredded apart including the Demon.


    The Demon was shredded to pieces as molten fire flew everywhere.


    For a moment, everything quietened down as Daemon looked. "Is it dead?"


    "No! Block the entrance!"


    Predator''s incredible instincts detected the faint resonance of life first as Legsmanded but it was toote, the Demon moved like the sh itself!


    Whoosh!


    This reaction showed one thing, Tarmac was a coward!


    Feeling so close to death, this Demon dared not hesitate as using his incredible speed, he bolted towards the exit of this cave to escape and survive.


    "Hihihih!" The Demon chuckled in an eerie but maniacal manner.


    "You dare try to kill this Demon?"


    "You will die!"


    "All of you will die!"


    "I will torture you in so many creative ways you''ll be begging to your god!''


    Without hesitation, Legs bolted after it as Daemon followed but he was already worried. ''If he escapes, our cover will be blown''.


    ''Even if my tamed Upper Demon intercepts and kills it outside, our cover will still be blown. Damn, I bet our cover is blown already after so much sound!''


    Legs was desperate. ''What should I do?''


    This was when the inexplicable happened.


    "Hihihi!" As Tarmac giggled in an eerie manner, from the decorative walls of the tunnel that led to his cave, something suddenly squirmed to life.


    It looked like a blob, an ethereal blue blob.


    Legs'' eyes widened. ''An energy lifeform!''


    Before Tarmac could react, this energy lifeform rapidly elerated, mming into his body as it merged with him. This Demon''s eyes widened in horror the next moment but it was already toote.


    The next moment, the demon''s body started glowing in a blue color.


    "Argggh¡­!!!" Tarmac screamed in pain as his body was taken over.


    As soon as the energy lifeform took over, he became a demon to the Demon himself!


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    Legs felt his heart freeze as this Demon''s lean body levitated in the air while being squeezed to death like a cloth after being watched by the drycleaner.


    This energy being strangled Tarmac with his own body.


    The sounds of bones cracking reverberated audibly, the sounds of flesh squelching, rubbing against bone, the disturbing sound of bone rubbing against bone reverberated as Tarmac was squeezed into a bloody puddle.


    He died the most gruesome of deaths, hisst screams were squeezed out of his throat. His eyeballs were the remnants to show that this Demon once lived.


    Legs looked at the energy lifeform who already came out of the blood puddle with vignce. "Who are you?"


    "I am Bam Bam, Tarmac''s victim of 45 years".


    "Demons are already entering this cave".


    "They''re alerted".


    "You won''t survive alone".


    The next moment, the energy being entered the walls of the cave, concealing itself in as a tiny world was created inside. "Come in if you want to survive".


    "¡­" Legs stared silently.


    "It''s either you gamble and trust me or die to the Demonsing".


    Legs directed one nce at Daemon, then he cursed under his breath before jumping into the tiny world that opened in the wall, Daemon did the same.


    The next moment, as Demons charged into the cave, they faded in the wall.


    The screams and shrieks of Demons reverberated loudly in the cave.

 Chapter 476 Bam Bam, The Energy Lifeform

    ?


    Bzzz!


    Legs saw himself inside a small bamboo building.


    -----


    You have activated Darkness Demon Active Ability: Invulnerability!


    ----


    Alert and on the defensive, Legs observed his surroundings. Apart from Daemon who at this moment was also alert and on the defensive, the only other existence in this small bamboo building was the energy lifeform.


    This blob was formless, effortlessly changing it''s forms at various intervals.


    Like them, it''s constantly changing form suggested to Legs through Predator''s instincts that this energy lifeform was also on guard against them.


    This observation eased his nerves a bit, at least he was also afraid.


    After a few seconds, noticing that they had no intentions of attacking him for now, the blob finally changed into an amoeba-like shapeless form.


    Focusing on the walls of the small bamboo building, the walls became soft and rippling like water the next moment as it showed a see-through screen.


    Through this screen, they were able to see what transpired in the tunnel that led to the cave of the Demon that they just brought an end to.


    "Roar¡­!!"


    "Rawrr¡­!!!"


    "Screech¡­!!!"


    Different types of Demons charged into this cave, looking for the intruders or rogue souls that caused so muchmotion here.


    As soon as this scene yed out, while Core Protector Daemon was startled, Legs'' brain geared into overdrive instantly as he sought a solution.


    ''I already messed up, what I need is a solution''.


    ''Stealth is an unquestionably important aspect of my n, we can''t afford to alert the whole Underworld about the existence of rogue souls''.


    ''If our existence is busted, my n is more or less rendered useless''. He became desperate.


    ''Think!''


    ''Think!''


    It didn''t even take a millisecond, lightbulbs lit in Legs'' head the next moment. Without hesitation, he gave orders in his mind.


    ''Tarmac is an entric and devious demon who loved staying alone in istion, paying attention to only torturing his victims in numerous creative ways''.


    ''There''s no way a Demon like this would let so many low-tier demons invade it''s cave without annihting them all, that brings this story''.


    ''Through my Demon, I already know that the Upper Demons all have petty feuds against each other. Instead of making it seem like rogue souls killed Tarmac, why not make it seem like a case of Upper Demon rivalry?''


    ''Because of their rivalry, though the All-Father does not necessarily support it, it makesplete sense for my Demon to kill Tarmac for more power''.


    ''Afterall, they grow stronger by absorbing more souls''.


    ''It''s logical that he killed Tarmac to absorb his soul''.


    ''If that is the case, then those eyeballs are evidence''.


    "Do it!" Legs ordered.


    The next moment, the Tamed Demon outside Tarmac''s cave no longer stayed idle. Unsheathing his twin des, this Demon charged into Tarmac''s cave through the tunnel as he started a demon massacre!


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Which each swing of a de, multiple Demons were massacred.


    None of them were spared, all of them were annihted as the remaining intimidated Demons all turned and scurried away to their various posts.


    After wiping out all the low-tier Demons, the tamed Upper Demon finally picked up Tarmac''s pair of eyeballs as he red at them and licked his lips.


    Seeing this, Legs heaved a sigh of relief inside the bamboo building.


    ''Phew¡­!'' He barely heaved a sigh of relief when a powerful voice reverberated in a deep tone that sent a chill down his spine.


    "Akramac". The voice reverberated with a calmness filled with authority.


    "What have you done?"


    BOOM!


    One sh of his sickle sent the mountain into oblivion, copsing, and exposing Tarmac''s cave while also exposing Akramac, the tamed Demon.


    As soon as the mountain copsed, this powerful Demon looked at the cave, at all the emaciated souls cowering at the corner who had been Tarmac''s victims for decades. No one knew if he felt disgust, but he looked away.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    His eyes focused on Akramac then at the pair of eyeballs.


    Legs could no longer control his tamed Demon, the instincts of this Upper Demon kicked in at the face of overwhelming power.


    He bowed slightly in respect. "Lord 1st".


    The Demon levitating in the skies said nothing as he simply looked at Akramac. He didn''t need to say anything, he never repeated questions, the question he asked reverberated in Akramac''s mind like tolling bells.


    ''Akramac, what have you done?''


    He answered instinctively. "Tarmac stole my Adaat Alfarath¡­"


    "Don''t use that term before me".


    "Yes, Lord 1st".


    "In a fit of rage, I killed him".


    "And you absorbed his soul energy".


    "Yes".


    "¡­" The Demon levitating in the air silently looked at him.


    During this time, frozen in trepidation, Legs finally stole a nce at this Demon. Unlike the other Demons, this Demon had only 1 horn, he had the physique of an extremely tall human and on both his hands were Sickles for weapons.


    "You will meet the Demon Master for punishment in 2 days". He finally spoke again in a nonchnt tone. "Make sure that Tarmac''s death does not affect any of our ongoing activities, or else¡­"


    Akramac felt a great pressure act on his soul, he instinctively lowered his head. "I understand".


    Bzzz!


    This Demon directly teleported out of this region.


    Akramac remained bowing for some time before Legs finally regained control over this beast. He ordered it to act normal as he vent his anger on some low-tier Demons the next moment before wandering away into the distance.


    Inside the bamboo building, for an hour, no voice was heard.


    It was only after an hour that they had the courage to speak.


    "Who was that?" Daemon''s voice finally reverberated in a whisper.


    "Demon Master Zorgoth''s assistant, the Reaper Demon, Azrael". Bam Bam materialized eyes in his blob form as he turned to look at the 2 humans.


    "He is the 2nd strongest Demon in this Underworld, the only reason that prevented my escape 20 years ago after 25 years of nning".


    "¡­" Legs and Daemon silently looked at this energy lifeform.


    "You''re¡­ Bam Bam?" Legs finally asked after barely calming his rapidly beating heart as he secretly stole nces outside to confirm that the terrifying Demon was indeed gone out of this region of the Underworld.


    "Yes, I am Bam Bam, an energy lifeform".


    "During my 3rd Binary Fission, I was attacked by a group of mercenaries who had been tracking me for decades, they battled me, leaving me at the point of death but an energy lifeform has numerous means of survival".


    "At myst leg, I sacrificed part of my life essence to change my energy form, turning into a temporary soul form while regressing from the Cmity Grade to be a Grade B energy lifeform in the process".


    "What I never knew of was the presence of the Universal Treasure, Underworld during this process, I was sucked in by it''s influence and here I am".


    "You were once a Cmity Grade?" Daemon''s eyes widened.


    "You reproduce asexually through Binary Fission?" Legs was shocked.


    Bam Bam grew lips in his blob form and smiled. "Yes".


    "I want to thank both of you for helping me get revenge. After what Tarmac did to me for decades, that was the least that I could do to him".


    "You both seem to know each other outside here, how did you end up here?"


    Legs and Daemon looked at each other. "It''s a long story".


    From story to story, the 3 prisoners in the Underworld eased up to each other as they told stories of their different but fascinating tragedies.


    This was when Bam Bam''s eyes widened. "You once had an adopted Fox pet who had ties to the Beyond Grade A Illusion Emperor?"


    "What did she do while you died?"


    "¡­" Legs was caught off-guard by that question.


    His eyes widened. During the course of the Cataclysm, the chaos affected him so much that hepletely forgot about Lucky though he knew that she was helping in some fashion during the war.


    His eyes narrowed. "Yeah, what did she do while her father died?"

 Chapter 477 Luckys Fate

    ?


    Lucky had been begrudged for a long time due to her father''s continually increasing busy schedule, he barely had time for her any longer.


    She missed the time when it was only her and Predator. Then, she could be the only Princess who that blockhead Predator doted on every time.


    Predator may be possessive and unnecessarily aggressive at times but he missed his protectiveness then.


    Now, Predator was changed, he was now mature and focused on more important things than having fun.


    If only Predator was the problem, she wouldn''t feel as bad.


    After contracting Ak, it was still all good but once Bran was contracted, her father''s priorities really shifted from her at that moment to them.


    Later, when Warp Prime was added to the equation, Legs totally forgot about her, only focusing on how to empower his beasts and himself.


    When sheined, he med it all on the Cataclysm.


    "Lucky, you have to understand, tens of millions of lives are depending on me to safeguard their lives".


    "Can you live with the guilt that millions of people died because you were too stingy to share your dad with them who are powerless?"


    Whenever he said this, she would flush in rage but only pout in the end.


    In truth, she was also scared about the Cataclysm.


    Having witnessed her Senior apprentice brother train in the Illusion Emperor''s pce, she knew of the true horrors of a Grade A Beast and was why she was scared. She was scared for her dad, her friends and herpanions.


    ''Can we survive it?'' This question always lingered at the back of her mind.


    This was why as the Cataclysm drew closer than ever, as she saw others be so serious, focused on training, she also decided to focus on training hard.


    She also decided to leave her childhood behind and be a mature Fox.


    It was hard, but she tried.


    Though she didn''t be a Grade B Fox during this time, her powers and that of herpanions grew exponentially as President Shanks being her close friend had a lot of hope on her to protect a lot of civilians.


    When the Cataclysm finally came though, it was something different from any of the worst-case scenarios that she ever envisioned.


    The Cosmic Cataclysm came with full force, wreaking Darvis.


    Despite their resistance, it waspletely one-sided. The death rate was astonishing for both sides, but Darvis suffered and felt it more since they didn''t have the ridiculous numbers of the Space Bugs.


    For hours, as the war raged, Lucky suffered.


    Every few hours, she saw warriors that she was close with dying. President Shanks'' death broke her heart, pushing her into a frenzied state of post-trauma.


    Despite wanting to personally go and behead the Bug Conqueror, as a Grade C Fox, she and herpanions had no choice but to fight where they could.


    The same way she watched helplessly as the President died, the same way she watched as everyone died and everything started fading away from her grasp.


    Her, her world, her life, everything faded away with the Cataclysm.


    She watched as everything she loved faded away.


    Her father''s death became the cruel verdict of fate on her life.


    "Master, help!" She screamed repeatedly but no help came.


    She watched as her father died, as Uncle Christensen died, as Uncle de died, she watched as Uranus, her baby whom she vowed to protect to the ends of the world also died before her very eyes.


    At that point, Lucky broke downpletely, she literally became braindead as she lost direction of her life.


    She lost belief in living, she wanted to embrace death.


    ''What''s the use in living when everyone I care for is dead?''


    ''I can''t live a life without fun, that''s a zombie life''.


    ''I can''t live without my dad''. That day, she realized it.


    With the death of all the Grade B powerhouses, Darvis was doomed. The Space Bugs overrun them, like the others, she was not able to put up any resistance.


    She was killed by the Psychic st of a random Space Bug.


    ''At least, everything can finally end''.


    Just before she died though, a bright light shone from the skies and engulfed her, she disappeared just before the fall of Darvis.


    ¡­


    4 dayster, Lucky woke up from hera and confronted her master.


    "Why did you not help?"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Why?!"


    "¡­" The Illusion Emperor silently stared at her student.


    "They all died".


    "Everyone I care for is dead".


    "My father, Predator, my friends, mypanions, they''re all dead".


    "If you didn''t want to save, why did you save me then?"


    "Why did you save only me?!"


    "Why didn''t you just leave me to die like the others?!"


    "Because you''re my student".


    "¡­" Lucky looked up at her master in disbelief.


    ''You''re heartless!'' She said it in her mind, the Illusion Emperor only looked at her without saying a word.


    Lucky broke down in tears, she was broken and traumatized.


    She really found no point in living anymore.


    This was until her master spoke again. "Legs is not dead".


    "¡­!" Lucky''s ears stood up like antennas.


    "At this moment, he''s trapped in a prison".


    "Then save him!"


    "Please!" She pleaded.


    The Illusion Emperor ignored her. "My fate is not connected with the human Legs; my fate is connected with you and is why I interfered with only your fate".


    "Legs at this moment is nning hiseback, he intends to go back in time and fight the battle all over again".


    "¡­!" Lucky was shocked. "Is that possible?"


    "Nothing is impossible in the Super world".


    "Since you''re connected to his fate, when time rewinds, it will also affect you. Instead of crying all day about what you lost, train, be better and seek help for your father''seback".


    "Defeating a Cosmic Horror of that level is no easy task".


    "This is my test to you".


    "I won''t help you; I will only give you hints".


    "Prove yourself as my student, prove yourself capable of helping your father". The Illusion Emperor looked at her.


    Ideas whirled in Lucky''s head as she heard that.


    She took some time to calm down and process the many ideas that floated around in her head, then one name dominated above all the others. "Redmane, he''s the only one who owes me a favor".


    "And he''s more than powerful enough to help in a battle of that scale". Her eyes shone brightly as she felt excitement for the first time in a long time.


    The next moment, she looked gratefully at her master. "Thank you master".


    "This time, I will give my all".


    "This time, I will not lose them again".


    "This time, history will be a changed one".


    ¡­


    A few hourster, through a long distancemunication crystal, Lucky saw herself appear above a gigantic metal where a familiar face was already waiting for her in the skies of the.


    ''So, this is Redmane''s territory?'' She was amazed.


    "Pack leader, I never expected to see you again".


    Lucky looked at the Red Fox as nostalgia and a lot of things went through her mind, she shelved them all and went straight to the point. "I need your help".

 Chapter 478 Rescuing Akela And Bran

    ?


    Hourster, inside the bamboo building¡­


    "I guess, any semnce of his presence is gone by now". Legs whispered as he nced outside, hoping to not see any presence of that Demon again.


    "His presence had left this region since". Bam Bam smiled.


    "Then why didn''t you say it?" Legs looked at the blob.


    "We were telling interesting stories".


    "¡­" Legs was speechless.


    Despite his speechlessness, he was able to get a clue from that. "You are able to sense energy from a distance, right?"


    "Yes, that is one of the core abilities of an energy lifeform".


    "Bam Bam can also hide his presencepletely, only Grade A existences can discover him when he is serious and they will have to be really concentrated to be able to detect his presence".


    "¡­" Legs silently looked at this energy lifeform.


    During the past few hours of their interactions, though he admit that he was fascinated by Bam Bam''s adventurous stories, he didn''t decide to casually talk so much to a stranger that he met a few hours ago because they killed a Demon.


    He talked so much to Bam Bam because he wanted to understand him.


    The scene of that Demon''s body being used to pulverize himself to pieces could never leave his mind, it left an extremely deep impression on him.


    Bam Bam may seem harmless now, but that scene was more than enough proof that this cute blob was an extremely dangerous existence.


    He wanted to know if Bam Bam could be temporarily trusted, and from their interactions, they hadmon goals, to escape the Underworld.


    On that basis alone, his hunch told him that he could be trusted.


    Before pitching his escape n to him though, Legs looked intently at the energy lifeform as he asked a question that had been lingering in his mind since. "If you''re so powerful and stealthy, then why didn''t you escape Tarmac since?"


    "Or¡­, at least even kill him like you did".


    Bam Bam calmed down as he focused on Legs. "Tarmac is a maniacal Demon with a crazy personality, but he''s also a genius".


    "I am not the first energy lifeform that he had met".


    "Energy lifeforms are incredibly powerful and dangerous, but they be slightly tame once you know their weaknesses".


    Legs'' eyes widened. "He knew your weakness?"


    "Yeah, that''s the only reason why he tortured me for so long".


    "Despite torturing me, he was always on guard against me, never leaving any opening for me to attack to my greatest strengths. It was only due to your arrival and subsequent attack that he lost focus for a moment".


    "That was my opportunity to attack and I took it".


    "That''s why I thanked the both of you after bringing you here".


    "Should I thank you again?"


    "No need". Legs shook his head.


    For the past few hours, as they conversed, Legs had actively been trying to paint the persona of a na?ve and gullible warrior. He didn''t know if Bam Bam bought it but he would keep up the act.


    Daemon was indeed na?ve about gctic knowledge as a bumpkin from Darvis, this being his first time meeting an energy lifeform.


    As for Legs though, he yed 4 versions of Dominator in his previous life before he died, energy lifeforms were normal sights to him.


    This was how he knew that Bam Bam was not lying. Perhaps, he knew Bam Bam''s weaknesses even more than Tarmac, the crooked Demon.


    This was what gave him the confidence to go on with his n.


    "Bam Bam¡­" Legs looked at the Demon. "I have a n, an escape n and I want you in, it''ll increase our chances of escaping".


    The energy lifeform perked up. "What is your n?"


    Legs did not hesitate, he told him everything.


    He may have been cunning before but due to an energy lifeform''s ability to read emotions at times, he dared not gamble with lying at this moment, trust was paramount if they were to escape the grasp of this Universal Treasure.


    "With your abilities, we can retrieve both of my beasts while rescuing the 2 other elements in my n. With them, we stand a chance at escaping".


    Bam Bam looked at him. "So, we''ll be escaping to your timeline?"


    "Yes, I won''tpromise that". Legs stood his ground.


    "Once we get to my timeline, we have warships, we can sail everyone home. Besides, you''re an energy lifeform, you can travel through space".


    "Fair enough but¡­" Bam Bam nodded in an uncharacteristically solemn manner. "That means I will have to fight the Grade A Cosmic Horror alongside you when I''m no where close to my peak".<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "That is a great risk, what is my reward for that?"


    Legs was expecting this, he was prepared. "Like you said, you''ve spent 45 years in here. As for me, I''ve only spent a few days".


    "What do you think?" He smiled.


    "I can afford to increase my time here to better fune my n if you refuse to be part of it, as for you, you need to escape now".


    "Staying here for a few more years will only traumatize you further".


    Legs'' eyes gleamed. "Freedom¡­, that is your payment".


    Bam Bam silently looked at him. "Fair enough".


    Legs smiled.


    ¡­


    There were 5 Upper Demons in the Inner Zone.


    Originally, Legs had to be extremely careful with his movements due to the limitations of his human soul but after getting Bam Bam''s help, the uniqueness of an energy lifeform negated most of the most ring problems.


    It was a perfectbination in his opinion.


    After the 1st Upper Demon''s orders to Akramac, his tamed Demon, Legs improvised his n. "We need to get everything in order in 2 days".


    "Akramac being sent to the Demon Master gives us easy ess to him which simplifies the mostplicated part of my n".


    "For these 2 days, let''s be at our best and most efficient".


    With Bam Bam''s help, sneaking into the 3rd Upper Demon''sir was as easy as eating pie. Referencing Akramac''s information, Legs knew that this Demon could be taken on and was why he did exactly that.


    While Daemon went to rescue Ak who was tortured for days, Bam Bam restricted the powerful Demon while he went for his usual staple, taming.


    The Demon could not resist, he became Legs'' 2nd tamed Demon.


    After taming this Demon, another idea came to Legs. ''What if I can take these Demons out of the Underworld? They are further reinforcement for me in the 2nd version of the showdown against the Bug Emperor''.


    He pitched his suggestion to Bam Bam who replied.


    "These Demons are created by their father, the All-Father through the Underworld. The power of the Underworld strengthens them, once they leave, they are only able to survive 10 hours in the outside world".


    "10 hours¡­" Legs rubbed his chin. "That''s more than enough time".


    "Afterall, they''re not saints, so why care about their fate?"


    The 2nd Upper Demon was a Giant almost 3 times taller than a normal Demon, hisir was huge with a great amount of space fitting a Giant.


    Sneaking into the 2nd Upper Demon''sir, Legs remembered a very important tip. ''The Upper 2, they have unlocked partial affinity with the Universal Treasure''.


    Legs dared not take the risk, he had a n.


    After days of studying the Demons'' physique, he understood them enough to create potions that were targeted at their physiology.


    -----


    Congrattions! You have concocted 4 bottles of a brand-new Potion: Demon Sleeping Potion!


    You have received 800,000 Experience Points!


    ----


    2 bottles were all it took to knock this Demon out as Bran was saved. Legs'' intentions were to tame it after but Bam Bam stopped him.


    "His affinity with the Underworld means he is connected to the Demon Master. If you tame him, the Demon Master will be alerted".


    Saving Bran also revealed something. "Our remaining 2 targets are not here, does that mean they''re both being tortured by the 1st Upper Demon?"


    "No". Bam Bam looked at him. "Azrael detests torture, he doesn''t torture souls, he only take in powerful souls to study them and make them his servants".


    "It is one reason why he hates the other Upper Demons".


    "Hmmm, he''s a really special case". Legs adjusted his ns ordingly.


    With that, he left the Demon to sleep.


    They finished their preparations 3 hours ahead of time.


    "What now?" Daemon asked.


    Legs looked at him. "Now, we wait".

    It was finally 2 days.


    Bzzz!


    Azrael, the 1st Upper Demon did not waste a single second, he directly teleported to his destination as he hovered above his target''sir.


    "Akramac". His voice was still chilly and filled with power.


    "Lord 1st". Akramac came out of his ind.


    "Come face your punishment". He was concise with words.


    Not refuting, Akramac obeyed the orders of this Demon as he bowed his head respectfully. The next moment, both Demons teleported away.


    ¡­


    Legs remembered Akramac''s words.


    ''The Demon Master''s Sanctuary is different from all the other regions of the Underworld. Apart from enjoying the most protection from the Universal Treasure, it also holds a lot of restrictions against other Demons''.


    ''Only the Demon Master can teleport in and out of his sanctuary''.


    ''Every other Demon, including the 1st Upper Demon is required to climb the stairs of blood before meeting the gate that leads to his Sanctuary''.


    ''Lastly, you need permission from the Demon Master to ess inside''.


    ''No random Demon can ess inside, neither can any rogue soul''.


    ''As for the time it takes to ascend the stairs of blood, it''s 15 minutes''.


    Legs looked up at the bloody roof of this underworld that squirmed like the inside of a gigantic monster. ''I have less than 20 minutes to decide my fate''.


    ''Either I truly die or I be immortal, returning back in time and defeating death''. The prospects of what he was about to achieve if he was sessful made his adrenaline levels rise, his blood pumped.


    After days of nning, days of walking at the tip of a needle, carefully executing his ns, he was now close to the tipping point.


    If he came out alive, he would have sessfully defeated death.


    He rehearsed his ns in his head so that he could not make a mistake.


    ''I can''t afford mistakes now''.


    As he thought, he suddenly received a signal in his brain. After 3 hours of waiting since finishing all his preparations, his first tamed Demon finally teleported away to the stairs of blood.


    "He has finally moved".


    "That''s our signal".


    This time, they didn''t even need to act as stealthy anymore. With Azrael gone and having put all the other Upper Demons to sleep or tamed them, there was no one else to stop them unless they made an unfortunate mistake.


    "Let''s hurry, we now have less than 15 minutes". Legs dared not hesitate.

    He literally turned into the wind as he charged through the slope leading to the topmost region of the Inner Underworld where Azrael''sir was located.


    Azrael''sir was located at the highest peak of the Inner Underworld to make it seem like he was overlooking the whole Underworld.


    Legs arrived in less than 2 minutes at his full speed.


    "¡­"


    For a few seconds after arriving, Legs was shocked by what he saw. Azrael''sir was unlike any of the otherirs around this Underworld, hisir was also a cave but it was clean, and it was illuminated by bright green lights.


    There was a table in the middle of thisir but it was not a torture table, there were papers on top the table and on top these papers were charts and drawings.


    One of the papers on the table depicted a normal Demon.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Its title was written in bold.


    >How to increase soul energy by absorbing other Demons<


    He looked at the title of another book.


    >How to break the limits of soul quality and redundancy<


    Legs was shocked. ''This guy is a Demon Scientist!''


    While he looked at the different titles, Bam Bam and Daemon already went deeper inside the cave. Legs looked at another title that caught his attention.


    >Triangtion Orb; Soul Merging Technique<


    There was a long note under this title.


    [Finally, I have discovered the way to increase my soul and underworld energy infinitely.]


    [The Triangtion Orb created from the soul fragments of my fellow Upper Demons holds the power to merge soul energies from different sources.]


    [With the number of souls dying and being sucked by the Underworld daily, I will never have a shortage of soul samples.]


    [This effectively solves the problem of soul energy redundancy.]


    [By merging different soul energies together, their quality bes high enough to exponentially increase my power each time.]


    [It is not perfect yet but I believe I can make it perfect with time.]


    [This is my key to breaking the limits set by the All-Father, I have what it takes to be the next Demon Master, overthrowing Master Zorgoth.]


    Legs'' eyes widened after reading this paper. He wanted to pick it up but remembering Bam Bam''s warning, he was barely able to contain his greed.


    This was when Daemon''s voice attracted his attention.


    "Here they are!"


    Going inside the cave, both souls were inside what seemed like a kitchen. There was a huge ck pot burning in a fire and inside was the soul energy of countless dead souls, the monk diligently stirred it with a long wood.


    Hearing their voices, the 2 souls turned to look at them in a clueless manner.


    The female soul of the mutated Jaguar reacted first. Instantly on seeing the 2 humans, this soul froze as it seemed like electricity just went through it.


    On the spot, this soul started remembering a host of memories.


    In a few seconds, she recovered all her memories and reconciled with her present self. Her reaction was more impable than Legs expected.


    This powerful warrior showed great calm andposure despite her current situation. "I never expected to be sucked in by the infamous Underworld".


    "It''s better than nothingness, at least, I have a chance to go back to the war".


    "¡­"


    She finally looked at them. "Thank you for saving me".


    Legs forced a smile, then he looked at the monk again.


    Unlike the female, this monk till now had no reactions.


    Legs frowned. "What went wrong?"


    "He''s from the Silver Race". She spoke. "There''s a high chance that he had never met a human or mutated human before, he''s a lost cause".


    "Unless he sees another Silver race, I doubt he can recover his memories".


    "Besides, what is a member of an esteemed race like the Silver Race doing here?" She looked closely at the monk. "All of their souls are supposed to be protected against events like this¡­, I bet he''s a rogue".


    Legs was finding it a bit difficult to reconcile the personality of this female mutated human. She was so different from when she was a clean soul.


    "But he''s essential to my n". Legs'' frown deepened.


    "Which n?"


    "My escape n".


    "Oh, you have one already? Nice, count me in".


    While Legs took as little time as possible to exin their situation and his n to her, Bam Bam looked at the monk. The next moment, he floated closer before merging with his soul as the attention of the others was attracted.


    The next moment, having gotten what he wanted, Bam Bam came back out. Without hesitation, he transformed into a beautiful delicate Silver Race girl.


    The monk jerked to life instantly at the sight. "Megumi!"


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."

 Chapter 480 Squad Complete! Facing Death In The Face And Saying F*Ck You!

    ?


    "Who is Megumi?" Daemon asked cautiously.


    The monk was stunned as a reddish hue crept up his soul cheeks.


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    Legs suspiciously looked at Bam Bam. "What did you do?"


    "Nothing much, I simply decided to morph into the memory that was the most prominent in his brain. She''s his crush, and she dominates like 40% of his thoughts, that''s why I went for it".


    "¡­" Legs stared in shock.


    "40%?!"


    ''Holy Sh*t! That''s a hardcore lover right there!''


    ''But¡­, a girl dominates 40% of your thoughts and she remains your crush?! Bro what the f*ck!'' Legs was bbergasted.


    ''You don''t know the term called expressing your feelings?'' He was having a brain seizure trying to imagine life as this fake monk.


    The monk coughed awkwardly after regaining his memories as he quickly understood what happened. Having listened as Legs told the female mutated human about his n, on recovering his memories now, he also understood.


    He red at Bam Bam. "Please, can you switch back now?"


    "With pleasure".


    Legs calcted in his head. "We have like only 11 minutes remaining if we are to sneak into the Demon Master''s Sanctuary with Azrael".


    "ording to my tamed Demon, he is the only Demon that the Demon Master acknowledges enough to answer anytime that he knocks on the door".


    "As for the other Demons, he may decide not to open".


    "He is our best choice at fulfilling my n".


    "Your crazy n". The mutated human said with a smirk on her face.


    "Yes". Legs nodded. "We don''t have much time that''s why I told you guys my n so easily, despite that, I at least need to know both of you".


    His eyes narrowed. "What are your names and your powers?"


    "To increase our chances of surviving, it is paramount that we understand ourselves and our powers to maximize the synergy thates with it".


    "That''s logical". The mutated human spoke first. "But it''s even more logical for the 3 of you to tell us your powers first before we tell you ours".


    Legs frowned. "There''s no time for this".


    "I agree". She folded her hands.


    Legs could already feel a headacheing trying to argue with her but he did not create a problem out of that. "My name is Legs; I am a Demi-God Summoner with 4 contracted beasts".


    "I have mastered the Partial Form when fusing my beasts as a Demi-God Summoner, but I''m still in the process of mastering the Final Form".


    "My strongest aspects are my Beast Taming abilities".


    "That''s more or less me".


    Daemon followed after his introduction, followed by Bam Bam in rapid session as their time was still ticking away.


    It finally came to their turn, and she looked at the monk first.


    The monk nodded calmly, but the next moment his eyes widened like he just remembered something, startling the others.


    Pushing his hand outward, the next moment, the body of this Grade B monk turned into an eerie human-shaped bloody puddle. The blood elongated from his body, turning into whips and various weapons as he simply interchanged.


    Nodding his head in relief, the monk returned back to normal.


    "My name is Nagana, in my ce, I am called the Blood Monk".


    "I am a blood Elementalist, I control blood".


    "At first, I was initially afraid that since I was now existing as a soul, I could not ess my blood any longer but I guess I was wrong". He chuckled awkwardly. "I can control my blood to create different weapons and switch fighting styles".


    "Not just my blood, I can also control the blood of my opponents".


    "Cough!" Daemon coughed and started choking as with his own blood, this Elementalist strangled him and slowly raised him up.


    "That''s ok now". Legs intervened, letting loose his Summoner energy.


    They finally turned to thest member of the squad, she smiled. "My name is Sonya, Ie from the warring 019".


    "I am a mutated human but I''m also a weapon".


    "I was approved as a war experiment".


    "After I mutated to gain Leopard traits, I gained incredible agility, speed, and endurance. Paired with my Pugilist energy, I''m not scared of close-rangedbat no matter who my opponent is".


    "That is me as a mutated human". She smiled. "But I also said that I''m a weapon, I became one after I was approved as a war experiment".


    "I was created to be the ultimate weapon for assassinations".


    Raising and flicking her fingers, a powerful Positron Pistol appeared the next moment. Then making it disappear by flicking her fingers, she flicked them again as an extremely long Laser Rifle appeared on her hand.


    Flicking it again, she donned an extremely thick armor. Then flicking it again, she brought out a canonuncher.


    She smirked. "Like I said, I am a weapon".


    "That''s it, our chances are higher than ever, let''s leave". Bam Bam urged.


    Legs looked at him, Bam Bam always tried hard not to show it but subtle details that he already detected with this showed his desperation to leave the Underworld.


    After 45 years of being tortured here, this energy lifeform was traumatized.


    Legs didn''t me him though. ''45 years of torture is real hell''.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    His sympathy did not change his mind though. "No, we''re not leaving yet".


    Bam Bam looked at him in shock. "What?"


    Legs looked at Sonya. "Can you create bombs?"


    "I am an assassination weapon, I''m not built forrge-scale wars, so no".


    "Ok, that''s still all good".


    "Follow me". Legs turned and led them to the first part of this cave where the Demon Azrael''s research table was.


    He pointed at the table, showing them one of the papers.


    >Triangtion Orb; Soul Merging Technique<


    Once they read through it, their eyes widened.


    "I intend to take this Triangtion Orb for myself".


    "Aftering to the Underworld, through a stroke of luck, I was able to recover my memories while also gaining the capability to harness Underworld energy that is prevalent in this Universal Treasure".


    "I am the only one who can absorb the energy of the Triangtion Orb".


    "I intend to absorb it to strengthen my soul and energy".


    "Afterall, like you all know, there''s a massive battle right after we return to reality. Since my first day after recovering my memories, I''ve been thinking of ways to get stronger and this is my best bet".


    "No!" Bam Bam rejected vehemently.


    "Taking anything from Azrael''s cave will alert him. Once hees back, do you think you have what it takes to fight that Demon?"


    "Besides, once our identity is exposed, we''re screwed. Without Azrael, there''s no telling when the Demon Master will open his gate".


    Legs smiled. "That''s where you''re wrong my friend. Unlike before, I believe we have more than what it takes to beat Azrael now".


    "I mean, that is 4 Grade B powerhouses already and paired with my tamed Demon, if we can''t even win, then we have no business with defeating death".


    "¡­" Bam Bam could not reply to that.


    Sonya grinned. "I like your spirit human, count me in".


    "I still can''t believe that Demon actually treated me as a servant, the audacity! He needs to pay for it in full!"


    Nagana rubbed his bald head. "I will follow the majority".


    Daemon nodded, only Bam Bam red at Legs.


    Legs looked at him. "I''m sorry my friend, would you prefer it if I went behind and stabbed your back instead?"


    "I really need this and I respect our friendship, that''s why I''m being so straight with you all".


    Bam Bam took a few seconds to make up his mind. "If I am not able to make it back to reality, even in nothingness, my vengeful spirit will haunt you forever!"


    Legs chuckled. "Chill bro, it won''te to that".


    Together, they went to the deepest parts of this cave where they saw it. As soon as they saw it, Sonya ignored everyone else as she charged closer and grabbed the orb, trying to suck in its energy.


    She soon scowled though. "You were right, I can''t take its energy".


    Legs grinned, he expected this. "I will forgive this". He was benevolent.


    Walking closer, Legs picked up the orb that was filled with different souls moving about inside and causing it to erupt with numerous different lights.


    He grinned. "You are mine".


    He turned to face his Underworldpanions. "Are you ready?"


    The others nodded; Sonya grinned. "I''m thrilled!"


    "Let''s face death in the face and say f*ck you! Do it!"


    Legs did it as he let his Underworld energy flow into the orb.


    Crack!


    The orb cracked.

    Power surged into Legs'' soul.


    At this exact same moment, walking across the stairs of blood, the 1st Upper Demon paused in shock as he turned and looked towards hisir.


    "YOU DARE!"


    The Demon was riled up, and the Demon teleported.


    BZZZ!

    With one hand holding the Triangtion Orb, Legs groaned as the green energy that was stored inside the Orb charged into his body aggressively.

    ----


    Seeing thest notification that was showed in his game interface, a crazy grin came over Legs'' face. "Yes!"


    "Finally! Yes!"


    "YES!"


    Looking at the ecstasy on the human''s face and feeling the powerful energy flowing from him, pure envy showed in Sonya''s face. ''That should have been me, how did he manage to unlock Underworld energy?''


    She didn''t have the luxury to stay envious for long though, this was because the aura of an extremely angry Demon finally saturated this atmosphere.


    BOOM!


    Azrael''s powerful Underworld energy spread everywhere with the force of an avnche as he teleported directly to hisir with pure rage on his Demonic face, his eyes glowed crimson!


    One look at hisir was enough for him to understand what happened.


    "YOU DARE!" This Demon unsheathed his twin Sickles!


    "We dare f*cking Demon!" Sonya responded; her tongueshing out like a de.


    "And what the f*ck would you do about it?"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Before a stunned Azrael could react, this hotblooded mutated human soul already took a step forward. As soon as she moved, time seemed to slow down for her as her hand opened, materializing a new weapon out of nowhere.


    ''Laser Sword!''


    "Set up a barrier Bam Bam, make sure this ce is isted and noise does not travel out". Even as hotblooded as she was, she still wanted to escape.


    Bam Bam didn''t need her notice though, the moment that the 1st Upper Demon appeared, Bam Bam went to work as he started erecting a barrier. In less than a second, a gigantic blue barrier isted them all inside thisir.


    It could not be broken from inside except by him. At this moment, a hell in a cell scenario was created, one side would have to be annihted to go outside.


    Sonya''s eyes gleamed at the sight. "Sonya Specialty: Dicing des!"


    Whoosh!


    This powerful Pugilist moved like the wind. One moment, she was just in the process of starting a sprint, the next moment, she was beside Azrael in the air.


    The wind was too slow to properly follow her movements with sounds.


    She moved before sonic booms were induced in her wake.


    With the Light Sword on her grasp, this mutated human exerted power, showcasing incredible agility and speed as she diced the Demon before her into a thousand pieces in less than a second.


    It was a crazy show, blood and diced flesh fell from the skies.


    She was stunned. "Huh? He died so easily?"


    "Azrael is not dead". Bam Bam''s voice reverberated in a solemn tone.


    Bzzz!


    The next moment, Azrael came back to life at the edge of hisir.


    He was in perfect shape with his deadly sickles in his hands except the blood that flowed from a slice in his face. The tongue of this Demon elongated like a Chameleon''s as he licked his blood, then his expression became that of calm.


    Calmly, he observed around hisir and counted.


    "1, 2, 3, 4, even a Demon, 5¡­" His eyes narrowed, he directly overlooked Daemon as on the spot, he started evaluating his chances.


    ''They''re all Grade B powerhouses, the odds are against me''.


    ''How did a force this powerful organize in here without our notice?''


    ''Damn thosecent Upper Demons, where are they?''


    He looked at the tamed Demon. ''Have they already been subdued?''


    ''Damn, that Summoner¡­'' He looked at the orb that already lost all energy that was still in Legs'' hand. ''He''s the culprit''.


    Looking at the Summoner, he felt a bubbling rage within his demon heart but he forced himself to calm down. ''I''ll just have to assume that all the other Demons are dead, and I can''t break this blue barrier''.


    ''They really caught me on a corner''. His eyes narrowed. ''I have no choice, I have to enter Rage State but even with that¡­''


    All these thoughts and deductions went through his head in mere milliseconds, he was the most intelligent of all the Upper Demons by a crazy margin and this just solidified his im to that title.


    His intention was to make more observations in rapid session before finally making his decision and his next move, but a certain hotbloodeddy did not allow him as soon as sheid his sights on him.


    "He actually escaped, impressive".


    "Sonya Specialty: Beams of Annihtion!"


    The next moment, this weaponized mutated human turned her hands into powerfulser guns as she unleashedser beams at the Demon even as she charged towards him. This was when Azrael finally made his move.


    This Demon''s eyes narrowed, then his aura condensed.


    "Soul Demon Technique: Rage Demon!"


    "Special Sickle Technique: Soul Reaper- Thousand Sickle Style!"


    Azrael took a step and the wholeir caved in under his power!


    BOOM!


    His next step and he unleashed his sickles.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    This Upper Demon was unleashed!

 Chapter 482 Azrael, The Placid Rage Demon!

    ?


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Sonya kept on pulling the trigger as she charged towards the Demon.


    It was while she charged while keeping a close eye on the Demon that she noticed his eyes narrow suddenly, then his aura changed.


    "Soul Demon Technique: Rage Demon!"


    "Special Sickle Technique: Soul Reaper- Thousand Sickle Style!"


    From the very first word, Sonya''s danger instincts that were honed through spending years in a warring rang in rm. She felt the danger but she refused to back down, that was her personality.


    ''Good!''


    ''Good!'' She grinned.


    ''Give me a good challenge!''


    Azrael finally took a step, then he transformed.


    He was no longer just a Demon, he became an anomaly, he became akin to the weirdest of cebo effects.


    Like was established to Legs already before, he was a calm Demon, a Demon Scientist but at this moment he was fueled by rage.


    He was not consumed by the rage though; he found a way to control it.


    At this moment, Azrael became a cid Rage Demon!


    With eyes glowing in an ominous crimson color, Azrael lunged at the mutated human with his des swinging wildly like the tools of the Devil himself!


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Their was diced into bits by this ferocious Demon!


    Ominous green energy formed by his Sickles filled thisir, slicing, destroying, and dicing everywhere to bits as Sonya lurked at the center of this destruction.


    This hotblooded warrior did not back down, she trusted her agility.


    Sonya''s Pugilist energy erupted, empowering her as she dove head-first into the barrage of Sickle energy. The powerful de energies hit with force and immense speed, but Sonya was somehow able to weave her way through them.


    She didn''t just weave her way through them, she was retaliating.


    Having transformed every part of her body into technological weapons already, this Pugilist unleashed disaster, bombarding the Demon but her moment of invibility didn''tst long, she felt a sting on her soul!


    The Sickle energy didn''t touch her but it grazed her soul.


    Instantly, her brain churned. ''Soul Reaper! His attacks affect the soul?''


    She realized toote.


    BOOM!


    Leaping into the skies, Azrael descended, mming his 2 sickles against this mutated human. At thest moment, Sonya materialized a thick armor.


    Coughing blood, this mutated human flew back like a kite with it''s strings cut but Sonya did not allow her back to touch ground which in her warring was an indication of defeat, she flipped mid-air, wiping her blood in the process.


    "Sonya Specialty: Weapon of Assassination!" She wasted no time.


    Her legs transformed into high-end technological tires, her clothes became nanotechnology armor, her hands transformed into extremely hotser des, while her hair became a fiery whip that moved on it''s own!


    "Let''s dine in your hell Demon!" She charged aggressively at the Demon.


    BOOM!


    One mming attack from Azrael threw her off bnce as she flew back with momentum but again, Sonya did not let her back touch ground as she aggressively charged back with a grinning and maniacalugh on her lips.


    "Bring it on Demon!"


    BOOM!


    Sonya coughed more blood, Azrael dealt more damage, getting used to his domination so much that he forgot something, Sonya was not alone.


    "Blood Monk Technique: Blood Weaponization!"


    After watching for a few seconds, the Blood Monk finally made his move.


    Before Azrael could react, a powerful chain formed purely out of blood stabbed into his chest, weakening and pinning him in ce.


    The Blood Monk''s bloody eyes glowed with power.


    "Get over here!" He roared and pulled the Demon over.


    As Azrael flew uncontrobly over, leaving the blood chain, Nagana weaponized his blood into twin blood des as he shed at the Demon.


    Again, at the face of death, Azrael escaped by the skin of his teeth again.


    Bzzz!


    When he came back, he was behind the Blood Monk as his sickles shed at his back with power. Nagana tried to react but he was not fast enough as the sickles sank into his blood body, his body didn''t feel it much, but his soul felt it.


    He felt like his soul was diced into a billion pieces!


    "Arggggh¡­!" Nagana screamed in pain even as Sonya charged closer.


    Azrael did not back down, he aggressively attacked both of them. His attacks were ferocious and filled with rage, but it didn''t fail to mask the subtle cidness behind it, every one of his moves and attacks were calcted.


    "Bam Bam Technique: Destructive Energy; Air Style!"


    Raw energy gathered in the air before the levitating energy lifeform, then they were unleashed towards the Demon with incredible velocity and power.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Despite all the attacks, Azrael was yet to be injured, standing his ground as his sickles shed, stabbed, and hacked with incredible efficiency.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    ''I''m already being pushed to my limits, I need to find a way to escape''.


    ''The Summoner!'' His eyes gleamed.


    ''He has not joined the fight yet, perhaps he is the weak link!''


    He barely made the observation when Summoner energy exploded!

    He flexed his new Summoner energy which erupted like an erupting volcano!


    Before Azrael could understand what was going on, the Evolved Beast disappeared.


    Bzzz!


    Legs'' speed became akin to that of teleportation!


    "ROAR¡­.!!!" Predator''s aggressiveness dominated through him.


    With the 3 other opponents already pressuring him before, this Demon could no longer take another one, the Nightmare Devil pinned him to the ground.


    Azrael observed the beast.


    With 6 limbs, it was already an anomaly. Its scales were as dense as Diamond, it''s row of teeth as sharp as swords forged from the hottest furnace.


    Its ws were weapons of war.


    Bzzz!


    Azrael escaped again but the Nightmare Devil did not let him be, Legs'' speed in thisir was akin to that of teleportation, Azrael saw no rest.


    Sonya aggressively chipped in on the fun, the cid Rage Demon received the hammering of his life as Bam Bam and Nagana chipped in.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    In just 2 minutes, the 1st Upper Demon was pounded to a shapeless form!


    Despite being this close to death, despite the hopelessness of his situation, Azrael never once let up the intensity as his Sickles kept on shing and retaliating against the 4 souls that ganged up on him.


    As he came very close to death, this Demon made a decision.


    "Hehe, I never expected to be pushed to this extent".


    His eyes became pitch-ck. "Partial Affinity: Underworld Liberation!"


    For the past 2 minutes, a few thoughts dominated Legs'' mind even as they bashed the Demon. ''Akramac warned of the partial affinity''.


    ''When will he finally try to draw on the power of the Underworld?''


    He had been on guard against this since the beginning of this battle.


    This was why as soon as the Demon tried to draw on the power of the Universal Treasure, he reacted impably, rushing to its side as he ced his hand on its head before closing his eyes.


    ''Please work''.

    ----


    Legs looked at his game interface notifications with total focus, praying for his strongest ability as a Summoner to y in his favor again but it was in the process of looking when his consciousness was suddenly cut off.


    BZZZ!


    Legs felt a massive power act on his soul, no, rather it was a will!


    A powerful will!


    "IMPUDENT HUMAN!"


    "HOW DARE YOU TRY TO TAME ME?"


    "HOW DARE YOU TRY TO TAME THIS FUTURE DEMON MASTER?"


    "HOW DARE YOU?!"


    "YOU SHALL DIE!!!"


    BOOM!


    A massive power descended on Legs the next moment. He could not resist it, Sickles that seemed as big as the universe diced him to pieces.


    Legs died¡­, yet, he didn''t die.


    The next moment, power stirred in this world and Legs revived.


    With shock in his face, Legs looked around. "The contract world of a Summoner, what the hell am I doing here?"


    He looked around. Everywhere around him was an endless void, pitch-ck, the only existences in this space where him and a gigantic and extremely exaggerated version of the Demon Asura Azrael.


    Legs was confused. ''What are we doing here?''


    ''I tried to tame him, is this not the contract world?''


    His eyes widened in surprise. ''Or was I wrong all along? Was it not the contract world? Is this world actually a world for a battle of minds?''


    He recalled all the scenarios in both his worlds where he had been forced into this world. In all of the scenarios, he faced powerful beasts with determined and powerful willpower that were unwilling to sumb to his influence.


    His eyes widened in understanding. ''That''s it!''


    ''It''s not necessarily a world that I can onlye to when I''m contracting powerful beasts with fierce willpower, taming beasts can also trigger the process. Without a doubt, this Demon has the fiercest willpower that I have ever seen''.


    He had shbacks to the extremely intense battle. Despite being battered from every side by the 4 souls, never in one moment did Azrael lose hope.


    He fought with grit and determination.


    His sickles never lost their swinging intensity.


    He fought with the willpower of a warrior that had been honed through a thousand battles and sufferings. His disy won Legs'' respect.


    "IMPUDENT HUMAN!"


    "YOU BETTER SUCCUMB TO MY WILL!"


    "IN HERE, I AM FAR MORE SUPERIOR THAN YOU, YOU STAND NO CHANCE!"


    "REDUCE YOUR SUFFERING AND SURRENDER!"


    Legs smirked. "You can''t obviously be saying that to the Greatest Summoner in the history of Dominator right?"


    His voice oozed arrogance and confidence.


    "¡­"


    Legs grinned. "Let''s just say everything that you think you know about this world, I probably know more of it than you do".


    "I''ve spent 2 lifetimes pursuing a career as a Summoner".


    "I''ve spent 2 lifetimes grinding my ass out to tame beasts like you".


    "Hehe, what makes you think I will finally let up at this junction?"


    "Is it not willpower? You think you have it more than me?"


    He chuckled. "Bring it on!"


    Feeling the boundless confidence and calm oozing from this Summoner, for a moment, Azrael''s willpower felt a chill crawl down his spine but he soon pushed it to the back of his mind. "Foolish human with big words!"


    "By the time this ends, you will be eating back your words".


    Legs grinned. "Make me!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    BOOM!


    For the 2nd time, Azrael channeled the incredible powers of this world.


    This time, Legs was not idle though as a crazy look overcame his face. In here, creativity and imagination were key and Legscked none of it.


    Like before, Azrael channeled the creation powers of this world to create gigantic Sickles again. As for Legs, he went totally haywire!


    Legs created Atomic Bombs, Nuclear Bombs andunched them at Azrael. Azrael didn''t even know how he died; he just did.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    For the next dozen of minutes, this world seemed to be the location of an inter-gctic war spanning 2 star clusters as explosions filled the air.


    After dying 10 consecutive times to Legs'' creativity, shocked, Azrael finally called on his creative juices as a Demon Scientist. Creating his crazy orbs, he powered himself up multiple times as he shed with the human soul.


    In reality in the Underworld, as a Scientist, it was only normal that at times, he came up with crazy ideas that were not realistic to implement.


    In this world though, there were no such limitations.


    In this world, he could let his imagination go berserk and that was exactly what he did. Creating a thousand different abominations that his Demon brain cooked up, he engaged in this fierce battle of willpower against the human.


    Legs could no longer keep count of how many times he had died, he died countless times as the sensation chipped at his concentration every time.


    He didn''t know how long thissted anymore, he already lost count of time, they seemed to have been killing each other for over a millennia already.


    "GIVE UP ALREADY DAMNED HUMAN!"


    "Me? Give up?" Legs grinned. "Hehe, ask again in 10 more lifetimes".


    BOOM!


    They smashed each other to death again for the umpteenth time!


    The more deaths, the more Legs felt drained. His vision became dizzy, he felt like he was living in an illusion but not for one moment did he think of giving up. Both of them were driven and determined to win this battle.


    "Hahaha¡­!" Legsughed maniacally like a mad man.


    "Pampered Demon, how many times have you died in reality?"


    "You talk big of bing a Demon Master without having faced real death once, you''re no Demon, I am the real Demon!" Legs'' tone oozed with a crazy arrogance of a man who had already lost it.


    "I''ve died 2 times, the first time as a normal human in an explosion".


    "Hehe, the feeling made me stronger, it honed my willpower".


    "The 2nd time, I died to a Bug who imed to be an Emperor after giving my all. I don''t regret it because I was at least able to give my all".


    "You? You''re an overpampered Demon who had never faced real death".


    "If you think I will give up, think again".


    "I''m not giving up till my willpower dies if that is a thing, hahaha¡­!"


    From shock, Azrael''s willpower slowly started feeling horror. ''Is this thing really a human? He''s no human, he''s a Demon!''


    ''How can he be so driven after so long?''


    ''Ahhh¡­, I can''t lose to a human!''


    ''I must hold fast!''


    ''I must stay strong; he would soon give up!''


    They continued like this for what felt like another millennia.


    Azrael already lost sanity at this point. ''How long has it been?''


    ''What am I even doing here?''


    ''Who is that?''


    ''Why am I fighting him?''


    ''Is he an enemy? What is an enemy?''


    ''I''m tired of this cycle, I want to sleep''. He did just that.


    Instantly at that moment that Azrael decided to fall asleep, a gigantic crack spread through this world, bringing its destruction as during thosest moments, Azrael finally remembered everything that happened.


    His eyes were wide in horror. "No¡­!"


    BZZZ!

    "Ugh¡­!" Azrael groaned.


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­."


    Silence dominated as the intense battle suddenly came to a pause.


    On their guard, the others all watched attentively. Having seen the ferocity of this Demon first-hand for the past few minutes, they dared not let their guards down as they stared at both of them attentively.


    With Legs'' both hands on top the Demon''s head, both of them froze as their eyes turned white like they just lost consciousness.


    It didn''t take long though, itsted only an instant.


    Blink!


    As soon as Legs regained consciousness, his game interface lit up.


    -----


    You havemunicated with the Demon Asura Azrael!


    You have attempted to tame an Adult Demon Asura¡­, attempt sessful!


    You have tamed an Adult Demon Asura!


    ----


    "Phew!" Legs sighed in relief as he copsed on the ground.


    The others were surprised, Bam Bam looked at him. "Did it¡­, did it work?"


    Legs looked at him, then he smiled. "It worked".


    He barely finished speaking when a growling sound reverberated.


    "Grrrr¡­!"


    Instantly, they went on the defensive again.


    Turning to look, they could see drooling out of the Demon''s mouth as he red at everyone around him except Legs. His hostility could be felt easily, they were stunned. "Was it not sessful?"


    Even Legs was stunned as he sprang back up to his feet.


    He threw an uncertain nce at the Demon. ''What''s this?''


    ''I thought everything worked perfectly like usual''.


    ''Even the game interface confirmed it so what is thisplication?''


    ''Is it because we spent so long fighting the willpower battle and it was so close? It could be''. A lot of thoughts went through his head.


    "Stay back". Legs instructed the others as he stepped closer.


    Looking at him, the Demon no longer growled though struggle could clearly be seen in it''s eyes. Legs'' eyes shone in understanding as he got an idea.


    "Sit".


    The Demon obeyed and sat quietly.


    "Stand".


    The Demon also stood up.


    The others were shocked, especially Sonya. She could not reconcile the current obedient and docile Demon with the ferocious Demon that she battled against just a few seconds ago. ''What sorcery is this?''


    ''Is this the power of a Summoner?''


    ''Hell no! I''ve met other Summoners''.


    ''It''s him''. Her eyes narrowed as she red at Legs.


    ''Clearly, his beast-taming abilities is not restricted to just wild beasts, he just tamed a sentient Demon, can he also tame me?'' She felt threatened.


    "I don''t know". Legs scratched his head. "There seemed to have been someplications during the beast-taming process".


    "He''s not like any other creature that I''ve tamed before".


    "He is self-aware and still has his own will".


    "Heck, it seems like it''s even possible for him to disobey me". His brows furrowed in worry. "Unlike a normal tamed beast, he seems more like a pet".


    "He has natural affinity and love towards me that was ingrained during the beast taming process, he will feel inclined to obey me but not all the time. Afterall, most pets are headaches to begin with".


    Bam Bam floated closer, he had an amazed look on his face.


    "When you spoke of taming Azrael, I originally thought it impossible, I only gave you the benefit of the doubt, I never expected this". He seemed genuinely shocked. "It would have been even more shocking if there were noplications".


    He nced at Legs with a serious look on his face. "Azrael is the 2nd most powerful existence in this Underworld, what you just did is crazy".


    "I suddenly feel old, I can''t believe it''s this same Demon that singlehanded thwarted my escape 20 years ago that ended up in this sorry state".


    "Well, I''m d, it''s finally done".


    The battle may not havested long but it sapped them of their energy, for the next few minutes, they stayed in thisir to rest and recover.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Though the others could not recover their energy, just the mental strength to do what they were about to do next was important.


    30 minutester, Bam Bam turned to look at Legs. "So, the n".


    Legs looked at him. "I intend for us to use Azrael to get ess inside, then I will lead a team with the rest of us to fight him while you take control of the Time Ring".


    "No!" Bam Bam rejected the n instantly. "You''re severely underestimating the power of a Grade A veteran".


    Legs frowned, waiting for him to exin.


    "We just fought Azrael who is merely a peak Grade B Demon, think about his master who had spent centuries at the Grade A realm".


    "No offense but during my peak, add 10 more Grade B powerhouses to this team and still it stands no chance against me in battle". He looked straight at Legs. "The Bug Emperor is a beast who has not seen the gcticmunity".


    "Hisbat tactics and knowledge is outdated and weak".


    "All he has is raw power".


    "He defeated that Crocodile because he was exhausted from another battle. Facing a bonafide Grade A powerhouse, you and your bunch of ragtag team in your stands no chance".


    Hearing all that, Legs calmed down. Having been a Grade A powerhouse in his previous life himself, he was able to see the reasoning in this.


    "So, do you have a n?"


    Bam Bam looked at them all. "Yes, the safest n that will maximize our chances of escaping the Underworld".


    Everyone gathered round him. "First, Azrael leads us in".


    "Then, I create an energy camouge like my bamboo world where all of us hides in. Through it, I will slowly and silently move closer to the Demon Master''s coffin inside his sanctuary, Demon Masters tend to enjoy hibernations".


    "Once I''m closer, I will change my energy camouge to match the energy of the Time Ring".


    He looked at Legs. "You said it was a ring, did you actually believe we can beat him to get his ring off his finger?"


    His eyes turned grave. "We can never get the ring".


    "The best we can hope to do is use it while it''s still attached to his finger, so any one of you that is greedy to have it, shelf your greedy ambitions".


    "They''re the ambitions of a fool".


    "Once I''m close enough, I will let an opening through which Legs can touch the ring. Since he has more knowledge about the ring, he will be the one to use it to maximize our chances of escaping".


    "No!" Sonya finally objected.


    Bam Bam calmly turned to look at her. "I understand your concerns, that is why after great thought I have found a way to ease our worries".


    "Have you ever heard of a Soul Contract?"


    "It''s a contract signed between souls. When a party fails to fulfill the uses that is listed in the contract, he dies". Bam Bam looked at Legs. "I am an energy lifeform; I can create a Soul Contract".


    The next moment, as Bam Bam manipted his energy, Legs received a notification from his game interface.


    -----


    [You have received a Soul Contract!]


    [Contract Terms:]


    [A. All parties involved are to cooperate unconditionally within the duration of this contract, failure to cooperate leads to instant death!]


    [Party A Signature:]


    ¡­


    [B. No party involved in this contract can be left behind to die. If one of us cannot make it out of the Underworld, we all die together!]


    [Party A Signature:]


    ¡­


    [Duration of this contract is till every party escapes the Underworld.]


    [Party A Signature:]


    [Party B Signature:]


    [Party C Signature:]


    [Party D Signature:]


    [Party E Signature:]


    ----


    As soon as they saw the contract terms, all eyes turned to Bam Bam who shrugged. "That is the only way we ensure that our greed and maliciousness does not butt in, enabling us to cooperate unconditionally".


    They all looked at each other, Legs rubbed his knuckles.


    "Fate already tied us together, I guess we''re in this together".


    "We escape as one or die as one".


    Using his Summoner energy, he no longer hesitated as he signed his part of the contract as he instantly felt it registered in his soul.


    -----


    [You have signed the Soul Contract!]


    [You will be bound by the conditions of this contract until the duration of the Soul Contractes to an end!]


    ----


    Legs looked at them all. "Let''s do it".

 Chapter 485 The Time Ring

    ?


    BZZZ!


    Azrael was back climbing the stairs of blood.


    The only difference this time was that he was not alone, alongside Akramac, the 4th Upper Demon, and Argam, the 3rd Upper Demon, 5 souls followed alongside him climbing the stairs of blood.


    Scaling the stairs of blood took them 15 minutes like Akramac indicated.


    On getting to it''s peak, they saw the gate, the gigantic ck gate with magical runes that led to the Demon Master Zorgoth''s sanctuary.


    Legs turned to look at the others. "Are you ready?"


    They nodded, then he finally ordered Azrael to do it.


    Walking closer to the gigantic gate, Azrael ced his hand on the crimson orb that was attached in it''s middle. Channeling his Underworld energy through it, his calm but authoritative voice reverberated the next moment.


    "Demon Master Zorgoth, it is your Asura, Azrael".


    "I seek your presence".


    For a few seconds, nothing happened then the next moment, the ck gate started shimmering with power as the magical runes across it were activated.


    The stairs shook with power as arcane power flowed through them.


    Then, slowly, the massive gate started opening.


    What was revealed beyond it was pitch-ck darkness like the endless void in space. You could literally see nothing inside, but as soon as it opened, Azrael took a step into the darkness as the remaining 2 Demons followed.


    The souls also followed, they entered at the exact same time.


    BZZZ!


    The gate mmed shut again, then they disappeared.


    ¡­


    -----


    You have been affected by the Raw Energy Ability: Nature!


    You have been sucked into the Energy Nature World!


    ----


    When Legs finally regained his orientation, the first thing that he saw was the game interface notification as his eyes widened in amazement.


    Going through the ck void beyond the gate, despite trying his best, he could not fight it as he lost orientation of himself and his surroundings.


    The fact that the game interface notification was what helped him recover showed how much time he took to recover. Bam Bam was the only one to recover on time, and his fast reaction saved them from being busted.


    Looking around, he discovered that he was inside what seemed like the belly of a Demon. Clearly, this world was modelled after Akramac''s belly.


    "It is the only way for me to blend seamlessly into this sanctuary". Bam Bam spoke at this moment as his body glowed with power.


    The others didn''t pay attention to him though, instead, they paid attention to outside this hidden world, the Demon Master''s Sanctuary. At this moment, Akramac and Argam were kneeled while Azrael stood before a gigantic Demon.


    This Demon was even more massive than the 2nd Upper Demon. His 2 horns were short but they seemed to carry magical powers, on his waist was a sword, a sword that reeked of sinister Underworld energy.


    His 2 crimson eyes zed with the intensity of a burning sun.


    His voice reverberated with the deepness of death. "Azrael, what brought you here?"


    "As you can see, my main body is in hibernation".


    "Be quick so as to avoid making me wasting the energy I allocated to keep my clone intact".


    ''A clone?'' They all thought as they looked around the sanctuary.


    The Demon Master''s sanctuary was not too big. Looking around, they finally saw it, a gigantic coffin. It was literally the only thing inside this sanctuary.


    They could not see inside it but the guess was obvious to all, without a doubt, this was where the real body of this Demon Master hibernated.


    The Demon Asura Azrael wasted no time in exining his reasons.


    "Tarmac is dead!"


    "¡­" The Demon Master clone''s eyes narrowed, and a powerful pressure descended the next moment that pressed down like a pressure-filled flood water.


    BOOM!


    Inside his Nature World, Bam Bam reacted. "Azrael has managed to attract his attention, this is our time to move, Legs be ready".


    "A tamed Azrael can not converse like the real one perfectly".


    "The Demon Master will discover something fishy sooner orter".


    "We need to be gone before then".


    Instantly, they were already ced on a time limit.


    Tension filled the air inside the Nature World that Bam Bam created as silently and slowly, he moved this world through the ground where they hid towards the location of the coffin.


    Despite wanting to move faster, he dared not due to fear of being caught.


    All the others could only watch and keep quiet, it was agonizing.


    Sonya felt like she was losing it. ''I can''t keep myself quiet and silent like this for long, this is so maddening!''


    ''The tension and pressure are suffocating yet I can do nothing about it''.


    ''I feel like if a make a noise, I will be dead that very second''.


    ''What should I do?'' She closed her eyes even as she took deep and slow breaths in a bid to calm her rapidly beating heart.


    ''Passaddhi''.


    ''Passadhi''.


    ''Passadhi''. Nagana chanted in his head to keep himself calm.


    With his legs crossed like a real monk, chanting this mantra was able to barely keep himself calm as sweat trickled down his face.


    Legs closed his eyes tight, he distracted himself by thinking about his goals. ''I''m yet to go even halfway in achieving my goals''.


    ''I am not yet the Greatest Summoner in the world''.


    ''I have not even met Maximus yet''.


    ''Damn, I still don''t even know the mysteries of reincarnation yet, haha, I can''t die now, it''s not my time to die''.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    ''I must stay strong''.


    ''I must know everything; I must be the greatest!''


    Daemon chanted only 1 phrase in his mind. ''I don''t want to die''.


    ''I don''t want to die''.


    ''I don''t want to die''.


    Bam Bam was the only one busy at this moment. With energy sweat trickling down his whole body, this energy lifeform felt the pressure first hand, it was like the whole universe was leaning against his shoulders and the burden was crazy.


    ''I can do this!'' He motivated himself.


    While all these happened, Azrael kept on exining what happened to the Demon Master in a roundabout manner as the Demon Master''s eyes narrowed the more his 1st Demon Asura narrated.


    He suddenly spoke. "Azrael, what happened to you?"


    "¡­!" Literally every beating heart froze.


    "We''re here!" Bam Bam whispered at that very same moment.


    "Legs, it''s your turn".


    Turning to look, Legs saw the hibernating body of the Demon Master directly before him. Even in hibernation, the dormant power of this Demon was still overbearing, pressing against him and leaving him breathless.


    The ring was thick as a concentrated red aura revolved round it.


    Legs knew that he had no time, adrenaline flooded him.


    Ignoring the fact that he was literally suffocating at this moment, he moved as Bam Bam''s energy covered him. Finally, he made contact with the ring.


    -----

    "Legs, fast, the Demon Master has detected something wrong!"


    Sweat trickled down Legs'' face, he could feel the pressure.


    [Current umted Temporal Power: 45%]


    [TIP: Navigate the Time Ring''s world with your soul to set time travel!]


    ----


    Legs dared not hesitate, he followed the tip.


    As soon as he pushed his soul inside, he felt a resistance but it was only for an instant. The next moment, he saw himself floating inside a world filled with blood, he could feel the souls of the others intertwined with his own.


    Inside this world filled with blood, Legs saw different memories.


    He saw when he just reincarnated into this world.


    He saw the Battle of Hellfire Mountains.


    He also saw the Cataclysm.


    ''These are the timelines that I can probably choose from''.


    ''But the energy of the Time Ring seems to not be full, I need to be conservative since I don''t know how it works''.


    ''To not be stuck in a situation where there is not enough energy, I need to make sure that I choose a timeline closer to now as much as possible''.


    He rapidly navigated through the memories.


    This was when the powerful voice of the Demon Master reverberated.


    "You are not Azrael".


    "You have been tamed!"


    "HOW?!" His voice reverberated like thunder.


    "Who are you? Show yourself!"


    The Demon Master''s powerful voice mmed against Legs'' soul like a sledgehammer, his soul coughed blood. Still, he gritted his teeth through it all as he rapidly navigated through the memories.


    Legs finally arrived at thest moments of the Cataclysm.


    ''I need to choose the perfect moment¡­''


    "SHOW YOURSELF!"


    "Ugh¡­" Legs coughed blood. "F*ck! I''m losing consciousness!"


    "FAST!" The others urged him.


    Legs no longer dared hesitate, he hit the Time Ring.


    As soon as he hit it, a mighty power erupted.


    HUM!


    Hearing this sound, the Demon Master''s eyes widened as he turned to look at the coffin where his real body hibernated. "The Time Ring!"


    "NOOO¡­!!!"


    BZZZ!

 Chapter 486 Going Back In Time

    ?


    The Demon Master Zorgoth''s Sanctuary¡­


    With a stunned look of disbelief on his face, this Demon Master looked at the ce where he detected the 5 souls close to his coffin.


    At this moment, after such a greatmotion, the clone finally dissipated as with a heavy ng, the lid of the coffin slid open.


    The real Demon Master Zorgoth climbed out of the coffin.


    It took a few seconds for him to properly recover from the effects of his hibernation, once he did, he looked around with disbelief in his eyes.


    The 5 souls could no longer be seen anywhere, neither did he see his 3 Demons. ''Did they die?'' He was puzzled.


    ''Did my clone release too much power while raging?''


    He was not sure, but as he thought, his brain suddenly clicked as the scenario of an extremely unlikely possibility yed out in his head.


    ''No!'' He rejected it instantly but he still checked instinctively.


    Raising his left hand up, he looked at the ring. As the owner of this Universal Treasure, he was able to see above the surface to inside it.


    The current state of the Time Ring was projected in his head.


    >Time Ring has been used once<


    >Cooldown Time: 1 Century<


    >Current umted Temporal Power: 25%<


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­..!"


    This Demon''s eyes widened in shock and horror. "Noooo¡­!"


    "My umted temporal power!"


    This was when the realization of everything that happened settled in his brain. "My temporal power¡­, my Demons!"


    This Demon Master was going crazy. "What exactly happened while I hibernated?"


    He was shellshocked.


    ¡­


    ''Did I get it right?''


    ''I hope I did''.


    ''What if I didn''t?''


    ''Holy Sh*t! Shut up, don''t jinx it!'' Legs reprimanded himself.


    Time travel was not exactly like Legs expected it to be.


    He didn''t close his eyes to see himself waking up in another timeline immediately like he expected. Instead, he saw his soul fall through a spiral like a ckhole, sucking him in into its unfathomable depths.


    The fall was short but it was during this time that Legs had these thoughts. ''Did the time travel fail?''


    ''Man, are we doomed for life?''


    ''Is this nothingness?''


    All his questions were answered the next moment as he fell out of the spiral into what seemed like a boundless and bottomless golden sea.


    This was when his game interface lit up.

    ¡­


    [Special Talent has triggered: Strengthened Soul!]


    [You have retained your awareness in the River of Time!]


    ----


    Legs'' eyes widened into saucers. ''The f*cking River of Time?''


    ''Holy Mother of f*cking Cheese!''


    ''And damn, I regained my awareness due to the Strengthened Soul Special Ability that I got from killing those damn Bugs, bless you Bugs!''


    Legs was thrilled beyond belief at this moment as he stared into the bottomless depths of the golden River of Time that thrummed with power.


    He was fascinated, the experience was an eye-opening one.


    He didn''t hover above the golden sea for long though, the next moment, a power like gravity acted on him, pulling him into the golden River of Time.


    Time travel officially started!


    Legs instantly saw his soul traveling at superluminal speed!


    Everything moved so fast that he was barely able to focus on them, but perhaps it was his Strengthened Soul Special Talent again but squinting his eyes, he was able to see the different scenes that shed past his vision.


    ''These are my memories!''


    ''Master, what are you waiting for?''


    ''Don''t be dumb and weak like the old me''.


    ''¡­'' Legs was shocked.


    ''They''re killing us, it''s only right that we kill them back''.


    ''Forget all your thoughts and just fight!''


    ''Let''s show them what we are made of!''


    ''Don''t be a bum!''


    This emotional scene shed past Legs at superluminal speed as he was finally able to focus on another one.


    ''Self-Created Sword Skill: Pain and Anger!"


    de''s Lightsaber was engulfed by his evolved Pugilist energy that formed bright purple and red manifestations of energy!


    His target was one of the resisting Unique Space Bugs!


    Whoosh!


    The Bug was killed with one sh!


    Another scene shed past his vision.


    ''BOW BEFORE YOUR CONQUEROR!''


    ''THIS IS MY ERA!''


    The Crocodile received another powerful attack that injured it.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    ''Fuck! You piece of backwater sh*t born from wasted sperm!''


    ''BOW BEFORE YOUR CONQUEROR!''


    The scene switched again rapidly to another.


    ''IF YOU WON''T BECOME MY SUBJECT WILLINGLY, I WILL MAKE YOU!''


    ''I HAVE LIVED OVER A MILLENIUM; I HAVE A LOT OF SKILLS''.


    ''I CAN TURN YOU CYBER LIKE ALL MY CHILDREN''.


    ''YOU SHALL BE MY COMMANDER WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!''


    At hisst moments, the Crocodile felt some regrets but he did not hesitate any longer.


    ''For the Beast King!''


    The Crocodile Priest self-imploded!


    BOOM¡­!!!


    The scene switched again at a rapid speed.


    BZZZZ!


    The airspace in Darvis was torn apart the next moment as what seemed like a ckhole appeared in the atmosphere, and it was from this ckhole where the enemy of Darvis appeared from.


    Legs was viewing everything like he was living these moments again.


    This time, the Bug Emperor was heavily injured after the self-implosion and all his Unique Space Bugs were dead.


    His gigantic face was shrunken and livid.


    His eyes were now bloodshot and filled with rage as he bulldozed his way into the, causing even more earthquakes.


    ''YOU UNGRATEFUL SLAVES SHALL DIE!!!''


    All the Grade B Supers in Darvis wore grave expressions on their faces as they got prepared to meet death in the face in an attempt to defy it.


    Legs looked at them all. ''Remember my n?''


    This was when everything suddenly shattered before Legs like ss.


    CRACK!


    Legs lost consciousness.


    ¡­


    BZZZ!


    When Legs regained consciousness, he was a living human again.


    He could feel the sun again, he could feel the breeze again, he could feel the shockwaves of the earthquakes as the Bug Emperor charged into Darvis.


    His eyes glowed in ecstasy, he sessfully traveled back in time.


    "Remember my n?"


    He traveled back to the moment right after he said that word. It was while the others waited for him to continue that they were shocked by the sudden emergence of 3 entirely different existences.


    Bam Bam''s blue blob form floated in the skies in an eerie manner.


    With a ferocious look in her eyes, Sonya watched her surroundings in an alert manner. It was the monk who caused rm bells to ring.


    In his blood puddle form, the Blood Monk watched everyone in a guarded manner. Before they could attack each other, Legs intervened on time.


    "Chill¡­" He took a step to their middle. "In this battle, we are all allies".


    He looked at the skies and watched as the Bug Emperor charged in.


    He grinned. History did not repeat itself; his speech was a changed one.


    "History shall not repeat itself". His voice reverberated with confidence and a yearning for revenge.


    "Our chances are higher than ever before now".


    "He killed us once, not again, now it''s our time to f*cking kill him!"


    His eyes glowed with power. "Let''s give it our all!"


    BZZZZ!


    The airspace in Darvis was torn apart the next moment as what seemed like a ckhole appeared in the atmosphere, and it was from this ckhole where the enemy of Darvis appeared from.


    The gigantic face of the Bug Conqueror was shrunken and livid.


    His eyes were now bloodshot and filled with rage.


    "YOU UNGRATEFUL SLAVES SHALL DIE!!!"


    Legs'' face was calm amid the storm of this Bug''s arrival.


    "Hold it". He muttered with total confidence.


    "Wait". He was calm.


    The Bug Conqueror''s gigantic tail raised and was about to attack.


    "Hold it".


    The tail struck!


    "Now!"


    Champion Onana acted.


    Even before the Bug Conqueror arrived, his hand was on his neck, precisely the luxurious ne that adorned his neck. As soon as Legs gave the signal, he no longer hesitated.


    ''It''s now or never!'' He crushed the 2nd bead in the middle of the ne.


    At the same time, he crushed a token that was on his right hand.


    BZZZZZ!!!


    A powerful presence that the Bug Conqueror was familiar with descended.


    Almost at this same time, Legs made his move.

 Chapter 487 The Battle Against Fate; With A Twist!

    ?


    A few minutes prior to the time shift.


    A gigantic Red Fox floated in space. At this moment, Redmane was geared for war. Donning a ck armor with red stripes that fully exuded his status as a Space Warlord, he stayed deep into the farthest reaches of space.


    Floating beside this Red Fox in space was a blue Gxy Fox.


    Lucky had a serious look on her face as she stared into the distance. Compared to a few weeks ago, she was no longer the same Gxy Fox, her power was much more consolidated and she exuded confidence.


    While she looked, she suddenly felt a tug at her soul.


    She turned to look at the gigantic Red Fox. "It''s starting".


    Redmane looked at her seriously. "I will meet you there".


    Lucky nodded then she no longer resisted.


    Time and space seemed to squeeze in space at this moment as a ck spiral appeared that sucked Lucky in, she disappeared in an instant.


    Bzzz!


    Lucky had the same experience as Legs, she time traveled.


    Revisiting the memories that were stored at the deepest depths of her heart for the past few weeks, this Fox was riled up and agitated.


    Lucky revisited the moments that the most important people in her life died, she revisited the most heartbreaking moments of her short life.


    ''How is this possible?'' The Bug Emperor was in a state of shock.


    ''How did it get to this stage?'' He was struggling to believe this reality.


    ''I don''t want to die!''


    ''I cannot die!''


    ''I CANNOT DIE!'' His emotions stirred.


    The incredible pressure, fear, and pain stimted the Bug Emperor past his limits. On this battlefield, when they least needed it, the Bug''s energy grew!


    It experienced a minor breakthrough!


    "YOU ALL SHALL DIE!" Its voice wasced with hatred.


    Converging it''s energy in it''s body, this gigantic Bug released it all at once as it sted out with so much power that Darvis visibly shrank!


    For a moment, it was like Darvis was pushed out of it''s orbit!


    The energy was cmitous!


    BZZZZZ!


    BOOM¡­!!!


    The Skyrim King was closest to the attack, he could not withstand it.


    The soul of this Psychic was dissected into a million pieces!


    He died the most ruthless of deaths!


    Champion Onana survived the st but not what came after, the Bug''s tail mmed down, ruthlessly ending the life of this Nak Champion!


    "YOU ALL SHALL DIE!" The Bug Emperor was totally berserk.


    The memory didn''t finish, it switched to another one.


    "Since you''re so lucky, your name will be Lucky".


    The memories in the river of time were clearly not linear, Lucky felt emotional as memories of when she was a baby Fox rapidly floated past her vision.


    "Lucky, wish me luck".


    She relived the moment that Predator was contracted.


    Looking at the young but still aggressive Nightmare Beast, Lucky could not help it, tears flowed from her eyes as the river of time drank them.


    Bzzz!


    The memories changed again, this time to the most tragic of all.


    "Hehe¡­, I gave my all".


    BAM!


    Legs died.


    With his death, all his contracted beasts died with him.


    Lucky''s father did not just die, her best friend and older brother in Predator who was always so protective of her also died, she felt her heart die with them.


    Christensen saw the lifeless body of his master being paraded, he chuckled as tears flowed down his eyes. ''Even master¡­''


    ''Our fate is really that of death¡­''


    Christensen saw his life sh before him, he self-destructed to end his life!


    BOOM!


    Watching everything happen, Uranus directly lost his sanity.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    ''Just¡­, if only I had more power''.


    Grabbing his ming sword, he charged at the Bug Emperor while screaming like a manic Demon. The Bug Emperor didn''t even move, a Psychic st was all he needed to end the life of this Titan.


    Uranus died.


    ''At least, I should get master''s body toy on the dirt''. de thought as grabbing his Lightsaber, he went on hisst run as a living human.


    Gathering all his energy on his Lightsaber, he shed.


    BOOM!


    de made his master''s body to hit dirt again but in exchange, a tail attack ended his life.


    At hisst moments, on his knees. "I hope I made him proud¡­"


    de died.


    Watching all of these tragedies, Lucky no longer cried, a fire was ignited in her heart as she bubbled with rage.


    Only one word screamed in her heart. ''REVENGE!''


    ''REVENGE!''


    Bzzz!


    The next moment, she opened her eyes, the time travel was over.


    Looking around, she was embroiled in a battle against the Bugs alongside her Fox Pack. This time, none of the Fox in her society were dead yet.


    Winter, the Arctic Fox, Kalsang the Tibetan Fox, Hunter the Gray Fox, Vixen the Ferrucyon Fox, Biscuit the Dusicyon Avus, and Zorro, the Giant Hoary Fox. At this moment, they were all alive.


    Seeing them, a wide grin spread across Lucky''s face.


    BOOM!


    She felt it the next moment as earthquakes ravaged everywhere. Looking up, she saw the face of the existence she hated the most entering the.


    "Bug¡­!!!" Her teeth ground against each other aggressively as she hissed.


    Lucky''s rage bubbled as all the memories she just relieved briefly floated past her mind again. "This time, there shall be a twist of fate!"


    Her rage pushed her past her limit.


    Having been training for weeks in her master''s pce, Lucky already had a huge umtion that didn''t disappear despite the time travel. Now, as soon as all these emotions battered against her mind, they pushed her past her limits.


    BOOM!


    On the spot, Lucky had a breakthrough, bing a Grade B Emperor Star Fox. She finally regained the uniqueness of her base bloodline.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Emperor of the Pack!"


    BZZZZ!


    Lucky''s blue energy spread like electricity as they prated the body of all the Foxes that were in her pack, the next moment, they temporarily evolved, bing Grade B versions of their current forms.


    All 6 Foxes growled as power exploded from them!


    Lucky no longer hesitated, she charged in head-first.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Emperor st!"


    At the same time that the Foxes charged in, it was that same moment that Champion Onana crushed the bead that was on his neck.


    Before the silhouette of the Nak Admiral could arrive, Bam Bam made his move. This originally small blob expanded the next moment, bing a gigantic blue blob that took arge region of space in the air.


    "Secret Technique: Bubble- Potential Break!"


    A mighty power filled with secret mysteries erupted the next moment and it all came from a bubble blown out by Bam Bam.


    elerating rapidly, the bubble dissociated into the body of the Bug.


    Instantly, the Bug Emperor felt a shackle act on his soul.


    Bam Bam shrank back. "We can now fight without worries".


    "No matter what happens, he''s not breaking his limits anytime soon". The eyes of this energy lifeform were now sinister and filled with power.


    Bam Bam made Legs talk a lot about this battle during their first conversation, he didn''t do it just for the love of it, he had been nning since then after he heard of Legs'' escape n.


    ''Beating it so much thest time caused it to break its limits''.


    ''No matter how stronger the force against it bes, since there''s the possibility that it can break it''s limits again, we can never be too safe''.


    This was why he targeted its gene structure first with his secret techniques.


    "INSOLENCE!"


    "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?"


    This was no time for queries though, it was already toote.


    BZZZZ¡­!


    The silhouette of the Nak Admiral materialized!

 Chapter 488 Rage Demon- Nightmare Hippopotamus!

    ?


    BZZZZ¡­!!!


    A powerful energy fluctuation erupted.


    Then from behind Champion Onana, the familiar silhouette of a Senior Nak Warrior appeared in his military clothes.


    ''Admiral Zhao!''


    Like usual, the Admiral spread his hands as soon as he appeared as a huge shield generator was activated that protected everyone behind it.


    Champion Onana needed no reminder to do what should follow, bringing a token from his storage, he crushed it without hesitation.


    Another powerful energy fluctuation erupted as another silhouette of the Nak Admiral appeared, superimposing over the first.


    Admiral Zhao did not hesitate before pulling the trigger of his canon.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    For a brief moment, it felt like the universe was resetting!


    The canon was unhindered, mming directly against the gigantic head of the Bug Emperor as it caved in like a balloon.


    For like 2 seconds after impact, nothing happened, then¡­


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Mini explosions erupted from the gigantic body of the Bug Emperor.


    The canon imploded inside its body after piercing through it''s head as tons of flesh wereunched out like missiles.


    This damage came right after the Crocodile Priest''s self-implosion damage.


    "SCREEECH¡­!!!" The Bug Emperor shrieked in pain and agony.


    Its body was torn from every side as it struggled to regenerate.


    Despite the incredible damage, the Bug Emperor was nowhere close to dying like expected, Legs was ready.


    This time, the battle against fate had a twist!

    "BOOM¡­!!!"


    The aura and anger of this beast flowed out with power like an avnche!


    Without doing anything yet, this beast''s rage could be felt by the whole world. It didn''t need any reason to be angry, that was the nature of the Rage Demon, it was a Tank with anger issues!


    Legs'' brain was clouded with rage and his need for revenge but he was still able to read through his game interface notifications.


    ''40 seconds''.


    ''That''s the time that I must take this beast down!''

    Legs did not hold back, not that the extreme rage of his current form could let him, he directly went berserk at the already suffering Bug Emperor.


    BZZZZ¡­!!!


    The mighty eruption of power dissociated spacetime!


    As soon as Legs went invisible, while the Bug Emperor was still suffering from the effects of the Nak Admiral''s attack, a 2nd menace joined the fray!


    At this moment, Legs was in his strongest possible state!


    BOOM¡­!!!


    The first attack hit with the force of a Cosmic Disaster!


    Taking full advantage of the bonuses of the Invisibility Demon and the Nightmare Demon of Dissociation Final Form Abilities, Legs dealt incredible damage to the Bug Emperor as he reeled in pain like a worm that met salt!


    The cries of pain of the Bug Emperor reverberated with loud intensity!


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Attacksunched out with crazy intensity and rapidity even as a Void Cmity descended the next moment, worsening matters.


    The Bug Emperor had a gigantic body, presenting a big enough target for Legs to flex his full powers at this moment.


    The skies suddenly changed as the skies of another dimension coincided with this one, right where the gigantic Bug Emperor''s body was suffering.


    The next moment, a Void Cmity started!


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Void energy went berserk,cerating everywhere rted to the Bug Emperor to pieces as the body of the Bug Emperor became the location of a mass beast ughter tons of flesh were pulverized.


    Blood flew everywhere like an erupting volcano!


    The screams of pain of the Bug Emperor seemed like the theme song of death, enhancing the brutality of this moment!


    The Bug Emperor was in pain, but this was not the end of its suffering.


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.." The others watched in shock as they saw Legs go berserk.


    ''This guy!'' They were shocked and bbergasted.


    ''When did he be this strong?!''


    ''His aura and rage alone is giving me goosebumps!''


    ''Jesus!''


    ''Is this still Legs?!'' Even Sonya and Bam Bam felt the rage, they had goosebumps as they watched this Summoner gopletely berserk.


    Bam Bam had a look on his face like he was seeing greatness. ''An imperfect but perfectly brutal Final Form! What talent!''


    ''What a Summoner!''


    Despite their amazement, they dared not stay idle, they had a target to kill. With Lucky leading the charge, they all jumped into the fray.


    Today was to be the death day of this Cosmic Horror!


    BOOM¡­!!!

 Chapter 489 Revenge!

    ?


    ''40 seconds¡­''


    Legs'' eyes gleamed even as his rage increased by the moment. "THIS BEAST NEEDS TO DIE IN 40 SECONDS!"


    His voice was no longer his, it was that of a beast with anger issues!


    Like a Tank, he feared not for his life even as the Bug Emperor retaliated in desperation. Apart from its incredible strength, the 2nd strongest point of the Rage Demon was its incredible vitality and health points.


    It was the ticket that enabled it to be so unbridled and rage driven!


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Singlehandedly, he tore into the body of this gigantic Bug.


    His attacks were powerful and hit deep!


    Every bite from him devoured arge chunk of the Bug Emperor''s massive body, every stomp from him ttened tons of flesh to meat paste!


    Every movement, every rage-filled charge, it all caused the Bug agony!


    Yet, he was not alone.


    "Self-Created Sword Skill: Pain and Anger!"


    de was affected by the rage that now exuded from his master; he was fueled by the rage as he became a Pugilist with anger issues!


    Every sh of his de was fueled by anger and hatred!


    BAM!


    "That is for the President!"


    BAM!


    "That is for Eleanor!"


    BAM!


    "That is for failing my mentor!"


    BAM!


    "That is for hating you!"


    BAM!


    "That is for causing us so much suffering!"


    BAM!


    "That is for being a BUG¡­!"


    This Pugilist was already drowned in his rage as everywhere around him was simply ck energy as his Lightsaber shed with increasing speed and intensity.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Every strike from him channeled his anger and frustration for months!


    All the pent-up frustration that had been built up all due to the prospects of facing the Cosmic Cataclysm were unleashed with each strike as he vent.


    Every strike carried all his experience as a Pugilist.


    de attacked at his most brutal state!


    Just beside him was another Pugilist, not just a Pugilist, a Titan. Not just a Titan, thest Titan, Uranus was unbridled!


    As soon as this Titan came back in time, though he did not know it, his hate for the Bug Emperor became higher than ever before!


    He felt that he must kill the Bug and that was his only reason for living.


    "ALL OF YOU SHALL DIE!"


    Every time the Bug Emperor yelled this, he yelled back. "YOU SHALLD DIE!"


    With the ming sword which was his only relic from his biological family, he channeled his rage as he dissected the gigantic body of the Bug into pieces!


    Christensen was also consumed by the rage.


    "Special Summoner Ability: Beast Integration!"


    "Demi-God Summoner Ability: Partial Form!"


    "Special Amalgamation Fenrir Ability: Devouring Bite!"


    Consumed by the rage that was exuding from his master, Christensen already turned into a rabid beast after fusing with 2 of his beasts in the Partial Form as he wreaked havoc across where the others could not reach.


    He felt a fiercepelling call in his heart to end the life of this beast, he was determined and not even the Devil himself could stop his determination.


    "YOU MUST DIE¡­!!!" He roared with each attack.


    The Skyrim King and the Human King were no longer in a tight spot but knowing the threat of the beast before them, they dared not hold back.


    Giving their all, they threw their strongest attacks at the gigantic Bug.


    As for a certain female warlord, she was having the time of her life. Due to how much Legs spoke of the Bug Emperor, this mutated human already developed a dread towards it and the eventual battle.


    Never, not even in her wildest dreams did she expect the battle to be this exciting. She thought she would be suffering throughout, she never expected to handle it as she wreaked havoc across tons of flesh with impunity.


    "Hahahahaha¡­!!!"


    "Hahahaha¡­!!!"


    "What joy! What exhration¡­!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Thank you, Legs! Thank you f*cker for giving me this opportunity!"


    She fought the battle of her life!


    Not restrained by the fact that her target was tiny, she materialized every weapon that her brain could think of as she went berserk.


    There was more than enough flesh to hit.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    The region where she rampaged was lighted up by explosions!


    She was a walking demolition unit!


    "Secret Technique: Energy Restriction!"


    "Secret Technique: Weakening!"


    "Secret Technique: Brain Surgery- Brain Cell Killer!"


    Levitating in the sky, Bam Bam never joined the battle physically but his secret techniques had the most impact in this battlefield.


    Restricting the energy of the Bug Emperor, he limited the options of this Bug Emperor to resist and retaliate even more after locking its gene structure.


    Prating the pores of this gigantic beast through his impable energy maniption skills, he weakened his cell resistance, some of his cells started dying without even needing to be attacked first.


    As for the Brain Surgery secret technique, he directly tampered with the brain of this Bug, a deadly technique as he reduced the Bug''s intelligence.


    This time, there was no surge of power for the Bug Emperor.


    He was really at his wit''s end this time, not that he could think of aeback as he already turned dumber after the devilish maniption.


    Bam Bam tempered so much with this beast that he soon started pitying him.


    All the others tookplete advantage of his maniptions.


    The Blood Demon was also having the time of his life.


    "What a time to be alive, what a time to be a warrior, what a time to escape death¡­, dying is worth it now just to experience this battle".


    Despite the fact that the Bug Emperor was part mechanic and part organic, the organic body of this Bug was still extremely gigantic.


    Nagana had never had so much blood to work with.


    "What a time to be a Blood Monk!"


    "BLOOD!"


    "BLOOD!"


    "MORE BLOOD!"


    Manipting the blood of this gigantic beast, he fulfilled all his fantasies as he wreaked havoc, dealing the most creative of attacks to this Bug internally as the Bug Emperor saw agony and drank its bitter droplets!


    Lucky and her gang were not excluded, they wreaked havoc.


    While the Rage Demon wreaked havoc from one side, she and her gang did from the opposite side. Having trained for this for weeks, Lucky unleashed all the progress of her training on this gigantic Bug''s body.


    She and her Foxes tore this beast apartpletely, the scene was apletely gruesome one as the Bug kept on roaring in pain.


    "ROARRR¡­!"


    "ROARRR¡­!"


    "ROARRR¡­!!!" The painful roars of the Bug Emperor echoed across space.


    Levitating in space, a certain Red Fox observed everything that happened with a neutral look on his face. ''They didn''t even need my help''.


    Looking at the pitiful and gruesome state of the gigantic Bug, he shook his head. ''What a pity''.


    This time, there was noeback for the Bug Emperor.


    At hisst moments, thoughts filled the surviving brain of this Cosmic Horror. ''All I wanted was to create a United Empire with me as the Emperor''.


    ''Why is it so hard to achieve my dream?''


    ''Why?''


    ''WHY¡­???'' He carried his regrets in death.


    Having navigated to the head of this gigantic Bug, with widely opened mouth, the Rage Demon mped down ruthlessly as the impact reverberated with force.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    That did it, the Bug Emperor''s gigantic body copsed.


    The Bug Emperor¡­ was dead.

    ----<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    With a stunned look on his face, Legs looked at the numerous notifications that his game interface just spammed him with.


    The reward from this kill was the highest that he had ever received in one sitting. ''2 billion Experience Points, it feels nice looking at the zeroes man¡­''


    ''Besides, these characters summon cards, they''re not like the previous ones that I got that I quicky outgrew, the Cmity Grade is a huge milestone''.


    ''They''re sure to be relevant to me for a very long time''.


    ''Besides, yer of Cmity Grades, what a fitting end to this crazy quest¡­'' He almost felt like copsing on the ground immediately to fully savor the effects of this victory, he was overwhelmed.


    He looked at the lifeless body of the Bug Emperor and feltplicated.


    It was while looking at the dead body of the gigantic Bug that something happened, the next moment, what seemed like a Psychic current swept everywhere across thisrge battlefield.


    After the fall of the Bug Emperor, all the other tens of millions of Bugs that were spread across Darvis stopped fighting.


    They did nothing as they seemed to be experiencing a glitch, they just levitated in the air and as this psychic current now swept past, they all copsed.


    Tens of millions of Bugs copsed in the ground dead.


    "¡­!"


    Shock rippled across this battlefield.


    Shocked and traumatized warriors stared with disbelief in their eyes. The fall of the Bug Emperor still felt like an unrealistic dream to them, it was when all these Bugs fell dead that the truth finally settled in.


    "We won¡­" It first came as a mere whisper.


    "We won!" It soon rose in intensity.


    "WE WON!!!" Then it turned into a victory chant.


    Warriors copsed on the ground as they cried tears of joy.


    It was victory atst.


    "We won!" Lucky, Christensen, everyone was ecstatic.


    During thosest few hours to minutes, they had witnessed death so close that they never expected it to be such a fairytale ending. There were sacrifices, a lot of people died but this ending seemed like a fairytale to them.


    "We won!"


    Amid the celebrations, Legs'' game interface lit up again.

    As his students and his adopted son came to hug him, Legs weed them even as one word resonated in his mind.


    ''Victory''.

 Chapter 491 The Players POV

    ?


    "BOW BEFORE THE NEW ORDER!"


    "THIS IS MY ERA!"


    "SUBMIT TO ME AND LIVE IN THE ERA OF THE BUG CONQUEROR!"


    "ALL THAT RESIST¡­, SHAL DIE!"


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    As the Cataclysm progressed, the yers became more and more baffled. "What the hell!"


    "Don''t tell me Darvis is really about to be destroyed!"


    "All our progress, all our experience points, all our favorability with the Nightmare Army and the Army Commander, don''t tell me it''s for naught!"


    "Let''s stay optimistic, they''re just trying to build the tension, I believe".


    "I still think the Army Commander is the main character of Version 2, there''s no way that the main character dies right?"


    "Yeah, the Army Commander can''t die, Afterall, there''s plot armor".


    The more the Cataclysm progressed, the more they became unsure of their assumptions, nobody dared to make any guesses anymore.


    Tired of making guesses that never yed out the way that they hoped, the yers simply decided to enjoy the gore and thrill of the Cataclysm.


    "Fight these Bugs like men, not b*tches brothers!"


    "Let''s show these wild beasts what men can do!"


    "Let''s show them the power of Gigachads!"


    They gave their all, fighting valiantly in defense of Darvis but despite all their contributions, reality was reality, they also could not escape it.


    The gigantic eyes of the Bug Emperor glowed with fury.


    "I shally waste to your lives and all your inhabitations!"


    "YOU ALL SHALL DIE!!!" The Bug Emperor''s voice wasced with hate and malice as his gigantic tail spread disaster.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Corpses filled everywhere with bloodpleting the final piece of the gore painting left of the. Screams of dying warriors reverberated everywhere, mixing with the cacophony as different abilities were unleashed.


    The normal Bugs were overrunning the warriors and defenders of the, the situation in the high-grade battle was no different.


    The Army Commander no longer seemed invincible.


    At this moment, the Army Commander alongside all his allies were being battered by the thoroughly incensed Bug Emperor as they came close to death.


    At this point, the yers had only one conclusion. "It''s over!"


    "I can''t believe it; Darvis is going to f*cking lose!"


    "All my progress, all my Experience Points, f*ck Dominator!"


    "Where''s Steamed Bun Invasion?!" The roars of angry yers reverberated as the yer in question went into hiding.


    "You brought us into this mess, we were chilling in Austere!"


    Despite their unwillingness, they could not stop it, they could only watch as the tail mmed down with force, ending the Army Commander''s life.


    ''It''s over''. They all thought the same thing.


    And like they thought, it went exactly like that. Once the Army Commander died, there were no hopes of anyeback anymore. All the strongest warriors of Darvis died one after the other to the rampaging Bug.


    In just a few minutes, Darvis was left defenseless.


    The Bug underlings of the Bug Emperor did not rest, they were relentless as theyy waste to the, including the yers.


    A few hourster, no non-Bug life was left living in the.


    As the yers logged out of the game, getting ready to go bash Dominator''s website for the storyline and them losing all their progress, they received a priority notification that got to all yers involved in the Cataclysm.

    [The Cataclysm was over, the war was lost, Darvis was lost, all the Champions were dead... but not totally dead!]


    [Legs survived, albeit as a soul, he was trapped in the Underworld!]


    ****


    All the yers logging into the game saw themselves transported to a simted version of the Underworld. Like a movie, they watched Legs'' journey through the Underworld from the beginning to the end.


    [Regaining his memories, Legs embarked on a journey to go back in time and fight the Bug Emperor again!]


    [He could not do it alone, he sought allies in Bam Bam, the energy lifeform, Sonya the dead warlord of Warring 019, and Nagana the Blood Monk.]


    [Together, they defeated and subdued all the Demon Asuras of the Underworld before making their way to the Demon Master''s Sanctuary.]


    [There, they tricked the Demon Master and were able to ess his Time Ring, using the ring''s energy to ess the River of Time and go back in time.]


    [Congrattions! The Army Commander''s valiant journey in the Underworld has also affected you, you have been brought back in time!]


    [All Experience Points gained during the Cataclysm are retained!]


    [Priority Mission: Join the Army Commander in the fight again, this time, the battle of fate will be fought again but with a twist!]


    [Wee back to Darvis!]


    Bzzz!


    When the yers materialized in the game, they were shocked. "Holy sh*t! The Army Commander did it!"


    "We really came back in time; I can''t believe it!"


    "Damn, a Universal Treasure, River of Time, Time Ring, Dominator just became much more interesting¡­, let''s fight and f*cking win this war!"


    Of course, they were yers, they needed no adjustment time. Once they saw themselves in the midst of battle again, they easily lost themselves in the excitement of the game as they attacked the Bugs with gusto.


    "For the Army Commander!" They fought excitedly.


    While they watched and recorded, the battle of fate restarted.


    Like the game storyline indicated, it was with a twist. Watching Bam Bam the Energy Lifeform, Sonya, and Nagana fight, they were excited.


    The climax cameter though, when Legs transformed.


    Watching the Army Commanderplete his final transformation, turning into the Rage Demon- Nightmare Hippopotamus, they all felt goosebumps!


    "Holy Sh*t! I can''t breathe, this is god-tier!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Watching as the Army Commander led his allies to batter the Bug Emperor who eliminated them all during the previous timeline, their excitement hit a ridiculous peak extremely close to orgasm!


    When the Army Commander finally dealt the killing blow that brought the life of this Cosmic Beast to an end, they were at the peak of euphoria.


    The war was won.


    [Congrattions! You havepleted Main Storyline Mission¡­]


    [You have been rewarded with 15,000,000 Experience Points!]


    "Damn!"


    As the yers received their rewards, they were ecstatic as they rejoiced with the warriors of Darvis who survived this grave encounter.


    It was victory atst.

 Chapter 492 Aftermath

    ?


    The war was won, but it was not without casualties.


    For 3 straight days, the survivors refused to rest as they were determined to clean the whole. This did not just involve burning the corpse of the numerous Bugs, it also involved gathering the corpses of their deadrades.


    After the Cataclysm, Darvis was barely recognizable.


    Apart from the blood that dyed the seas and oceans red, thendscape was already terraformed due to the destructive activities of the Bug Emperor.


    The earthquakes and gravity that pulled the core of the from its position already terraformed it so much that East was now West, and South was now North, it was a strange situation for the survivors to get used to.


    In Earth terms, it felt like a situation where China suddenly became Canada, and Ennd became Nigeria, the change was that significant.


    For these 3 days, the shelters were also opened.


    Despite the ridiculous number of casualties, the warriors did not die a vain death, they fulfilled their primary objective as they were able to protect the life of majority of the civilians that went into hiding.


    The only confusion to Legs was that none of the warriors in the knew that they all died at one point, none of them knew of the time shift.


    Not even his students knew of the time shift.


    Speaking with Bam Bam, the energy lifeform gave him a vague exnation. "Time travel is a very mysterious topic that very few in the cosmos understands".


    "It''s a power that is tied to fate and destiny".


    "I don''t know why but them not knowing is probably for their own good".


    "You should leave it that way".


    The Energy Lifeform didn''t stay past the 2nd day after the death of the Bug Emperor. "I''ve recovered enough to travel back into space".


    Bam Bam looked at the human that rescued him from the Underworld after 45 years of imprisonment and torture. "I owe my freedom to you, human".


    "I will never forget what you did to me".


    "In the future, if fate wills it and we meet again, I will repay this favor".


    Legs smiled at him. "I will miss your stories".


    "Hehe, I will miss yours too".


    Before the energy lifeform could leave, Sonya interrupted. "Bam Bam, take me along, I can''t stay in this backwater for long".


    "I feel like I will be a useless bumpkin if I stay too long".


    Bam Bam looked at the ferocious mutated human. "Your arrangement was with Legs to leave through his warships, not with me".


    He smiled. "It''s your destiny".


    Sonya frowned. "Selfish Bam Bam".


    With a smile, this blue energy blob floated higher into the skies and with a twinkling light, he disappeared into the far reaches of space outside Darvis.


    Nagana bowed. "You will be missed".


    By the 3rd day, the river of blood that died the seas and oceans red were already cleaned and purified. Having burnt all the corpses of the Bugs, the corpses of the heroic warriors who died in the war were gathered.


    It was an asion where all the survivors of the were gathered.


    Standing on a podium, Legs looked at all the corpses that were gathered. President Shanks'' face still sent a pringle down his heart.


    "It is with a heavy heart that I announce the death of our President".


    "Like all the other warriors who died in the Cataclysm, he died with no regrets, he died knowing that he gave his all into protecting the thing that he cherished most in the world, Darvis".


    "President Shanks, I knew him personally as a friend".


    "If he could, I know at this moment he would be telling us not to mourn his death but to celebrate our victory and survival".


    "He was a rare soul that had the progress of our in mind".


    "He left nothing untouched, his dedication, love, and even his life, he gave it all for us, he died as a legend of Darvis". Legs'' face was heavy as he said this. "He died as a role model to all of us".


    "Today, as a, as a family, we escort him to nothingness as a hero".


    Legs looked across all the other dead bodies. "All of them are heroes, heroes who did not hesitate to give their lives for our safety".


    With a solemn voice, he concluded. "May their souls rest in peace".


    "May their souls rest in peace". All the survivors echoed.


    The next moment, multiple Fire Elementalists who were already in ce set all the bodies on fire. Legs watched as they burned to ashes.


    ''A new era dawns on Darvis''. He finally left.


    The mourningsted 3 days, while paying tribute to the dead warriors who sacrificed their lives, Darvis finally celebrated its victory.


    Legs celebrated personally with his students, beasts, pets, and all his allies. It was during the celebration that he finally decided to check his game interface status again, it was already long since he saw it.

 Chapter 493 Cutting-Edge Summoner Knowledge- Apostilization!

    ?


    In the blink of an eye, it was already 5 days since the victory.


    While Darvis started recovery processes to partially restore the state of the, Legs casually walked through his garden in the headquarters of the Nightmare Army.


    A lot of things were on his mind but he focused on one.


    After defeating the Bug Emperor andpleting the Storyline Grade A Mission, the main excitement of Version 2 in Darvis officially came to an end.


    And among his numerous rewards from the victory, he got another Cutting-Edge Summoner Knowledge.


    To Legs, this was a huge thing.


    Unlike Advanced ss knowledges and the others, Cutting-Edge Summoner knowledges were ranked close to the very top of the Super world. Everyone of them had significant effects on the power of a Super.


    After getting his first Cutting-Edge Summoner knowledge, bing a Demi-God Summoner and the abilities that followed were a reflection of this truth.


    Every single Cutting-Edge Summoner knowledge massively increases the power of a Super and was why they were extremely raremodity goods.


    Thinking back on it now, he felt lucky. ''In the end, I had to go to an entirely different before I could get my first Cutting Edge knowledge''.


    ''Being the master of the gray world is really a cheat in this world''.


    He no longer hesitated, he let the game interface do its thing.

    ''Reincarnating as an NPC was the best thing that ever happened to me''.


    In his previous world, despite leveling up after years of grinding for experience points to be a Grade A Super, he was at the very bottom of the spectrum at the Cmity Grade, he had only 1 Cutting-Edge knowledge then.


    This was his first time getting the Apostilization knowledge despite hearing about it a lot in his previous life. ''Fortunes change¡­, mine has changed''.


    Legs needed no more invitation to do his thing.


    At this moment, he felt like he was relieving the day when he named his beasts and gave them a hierarchy, it was another important moment in his journey to the peak as a Summoner.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Bzzz!


    All 4 of his contracted beasts appeared.


    Standing in this garden, amid the lush flowers and green nts, a gentle breeze blew as a Demi-God Summoner stood with his beasts.


    Legs smiled instinctively; memories flowed through his brain.


    He looked at Predator. "Hehe¡­, now that I think about it, you gave me the most headache in terms of resistance before I was able to contract you".


    "You mother*cker was the only one who dragged me to the contract world".


    "Anyways, I''m d I got you". Legs showed a rare side of him as he stuck his tongue out, making the Nightmare Beast tilt his head in a confused manner.


    Legsughed as he looked at Ak. "You remember your first pack?"


    Ak nodded with a grin. "You liberated me".<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Yeah". Legs recalled his first days in the beast ne after his reincarnation. "Hehe, getting you was also a pain in the ass. I remember nning so much just to separate you from your pack".


    "Thank you master".


    "¡­" Legs rubbed his nose.


    After he was done with his nostalgia, he finally sat all 4 of his contracted beasts down as he looked at them.


    He looked at Bran. "Yours was more straightforward, I met you in the heat of war". He grinned. "I pulled some viin-level shit to get you though, gambling by killing your master then to liberate you before contracting you before you died".


    "Damn!" Legs looked up. "Those were the good old days man, the days that I was still young and filled with the adventurous spirit".


    Warp Prime looked up at his master. "What of me?"


    "¡­"


    "Ah¡­, erm..., I had to carry a whole bunch of warriors along in Austere just to get you so I guess that was eventful too".


    Warp Prime was satisfied with that as he purred in a rxed manner. "Ok guys, I got a new goody for you".


    Like usual, Legs started with Predator.


    Once the Nightmare Beast was standing before him, he ced a hand on Predator''s head before activating his newest ability.


    -----


    You have activated Demi-God Summoner Active Ability: Apostilization!


    [Target Beast: Nightmare Beast- Predator!]


    [Apostle Transformationmencing¡­, please wait¡­]


    ****


    Bzzz!


    Instantly after activating the ability, with his hands on Predator''s head, Legs'' green Summoner energy erupted before seeping into the body of the dormant Nightmare Beast as Predator stared.


    Like wisps of electricity, they snaked through his body rampantly.


    It was a short process but during this short time, Legs was able to detect a lot of changes. With his hand on Predator''s head, he could feel his first contracted beast changing in a fundamental manner.


    Predator did not change much in terms of height and ferociousness, but his aura changed. Not only his aura, the soul of this beast also changed.


    Legs felt weird, he suddenly felt like he had another body.


    Predator no longer just felt like his contracted beast, this beast now felt more akin to his clone, or betterstill his vessel.


    His organic and soul connection with Predator increased to an unprecedented level, his other beasts could feel it as they stared, surprised.


    This was when his game interface lit up with more notifications.

    Legs looked at his other beasts who all had eyes wide opened in shock. "Hehe¡­, Predator is the real OG".

 Chapter 494 Reunion

    ?


    Outside Darvis, a gigantic Red Fox hovered in space.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Star Travel".


    Bzzz!


    Another Fox prated the veil of the the next moment, exceeding it''s escape gravity as it floated into space. Lucky floated straight towards the direction where the Red Fox currently waited for her.


    "You kept me waiting". Redmane''s deep voice reverberated.


    "I''m sorry, there were a lot of things to do". Lucky replied as she stared down at the gigantic from her vantage point.


    Looking down at this from this vantage point, you could clearly see the amount of damage that it suffered. This was no longer purely green, blue, and lush when viewed from space, it now had patches of red and ck.


    Darvis suffered a lot from the war, a lot of people that I knew and was close to died, I had to take my time to do the needful beforeing here".


    "I understand, wars are not always easy". The Red Fox''s crimson eyes looked into the far reaches of space. "There are always casualties in war, and unless you''re twisted, you never get used to it".


    "They''re lucky though for having a maverick like your master¡­, they would all be dead if he didn''t fight his way back from the dead".


    He turned to look at the Star Fox. "Congrattions on your breakthrough".


    "Thanks, you''re still stronger than I am".


    Redmane nodded. "Bing a Cmity Grade was all because of you, I will always owe you this favor".


    He looked at the. "In the end, your master didn''t need my help, I always knew he was not someone to lose a battle twice".


    "His brain has always been his greatest asset and strength".


    Lucky smiled. "So¡­?"


    "Don''t worry, I still owe you a favor and I don''t intend to renegade on my promise. I believe you will travel into space and officially enter the gctic society, there is more chaos in the outside gxy than anything you see here".


    "They never lied when they said Darvis is a backwater".


    He stared into Lucky''s eyes. "One day, I believe I''ll be able to repay the favor that you offered".


    "Thanks". Lucky finally rxed. "You''ll be going back now?"


    "Yes, I am a warlord, I need to look after my territory, you''ll understand when you finally be a Gctic Beast".


    "Till we meet next time".


    Not hesitating anymore, this Cmity Grade Red Fox finally tore the fabric of space open as he teleported out of this airspace.


    Bzzz!


    Lucky looked for some time after he was gone before finally turning and floating back into the. This time, she didn''t just go back, she went straight to a certain man''s garden, her father.

    ----<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Tsk". Legs clicked his tongue.


    ''Billions of experience points yet I was only able to level up 6 times''. He rubbed his head. ''Hard times areing man''.


    ''Besides, it''s clear that I''m already bigger than Darvis''.


    ''To increase my leveling speed even further, I need to leave this and finally go to the gctic society''.


    These thoughts made him remember crazy memories from his previous life. ''Hehe¡­, I''m about to wee the chaos of the gctic society again''.


    ''Before leaving though, there''s onest quest here that I need to take care of, n¡­'' He paused as something teleported into his garden.


    Bzzz!


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    Silence dominated in the garden as the human and his 4 contracted beasts stared at the existence that just appeared.


    "The heck?!" Lucky flipped out. "You guys won''t even wee me?"


    She charged towards Predator. "Predator! You were not like this, father has dragged you to the dark side, why?"


    Bam!


    She hit Predator with force but the Nightmare Beast did not move an inch, he looked down at her. "Lucky?"


    "¡­"


    She was losing it. ''He doesn''t even remember me again!''


    "Hahahaha!" Legsughed at the sight as he walked closer. "Where the hell have you been? I feel as if it''s been ages since Ist saw you".


    "Hmph!" She snorted. "You never had any intentions to see me".


    "Come on Lucky, you know that''s simply not true, you saw how intense the war was? I am more than justified to give it so much attention".


    Lucky looked at him for a few seconds.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Humanoid Transformation!"


    "¡­!" Legs'' jaws dropped in shock.


    He stared at the abomination that stood before him.


    Lucky was no longer Lucky, at this moment, this originally cute Fox already transformed into an otherworldly beautiful young humandy on cute white barbie gown. Her skin was so white that she seemed toe from another world.


    Her teeth sparkled like diamond as she smiled at her father.


    "I can be you now". Lucky smiled cheekily before throwing herself in Legs'' embrace the next moment.


    "¡­" Legs almost protested but he stopped when he felt her tears.


    Lucky sniffed and sobbed as she hugged her father tight.


    "T-Thank you¡­" She stammered amid her soft sobs.


    "I thought I lost you and everyone forever".


    "Thank you for fighting¡­"


    "Thank you foring back¡­"


    "Thank you for bringing Uncle Christensen and Uncle de back¡­"


    "Thank you for bringing Predator back¡­" She shook as she sobbed.


    "Thank you for bringing everyone back".


    "¡­" Legs was shocked, he discovered something from this. ''She remembers what happened? How?''


    ''I need to hear her part of the story''.


    Despite his thoughts, he focused on the moment. Patting Lucky''s head with one hand, he used the other to hug her tight as heforted her.


    "I told you I''m never leaving; I''m stuck with you guys forever".


    After staring for some time, Predator went closer to join the embrace, the other beasts followed. At this moment, they experienced a peculiar reunion.


    A few minutester after the coast died down, Legs looked at Lucky.


    "Tell me, everything".


    "Ok". She nodded.

 Chapter 495 A Talk With Admiral Zhao

    ?


    "Holy Sh*t! You actually survived?"


    Lucky nodded her head in a smug manner.


    Listening to Lucky''s story, Legs felt a whole other level of injustice at fate. ''The heck! I''m supposed to be the reincarnator here, why does it seem that my pet has even more plot armor than I do?''


    ''While I had to fight my way, killing and taming tons of demons from the underworld, she was chilling in her master''s pce all along''.


    ''Damn! And not just chilling, her power also freaking grew!''


    As he looked at Lucky, his face went red in envy. ''I want this luck!''


    ''Damn, she didn''t suffer at all, I have to make her suffer a bit''. His devious mind started thinking up conspiracies. ''Should I pinch her cheeks?''


    "Umm¡­, why is your face like that? Are you ok?" A voice interrupted Legs the next moment as he looked up only to see a familiar face.


    Legs stood up. "Uhh? Me? Is something wrong with my face?" He touched his face as if searching for what was wrong with it.


    Champion Onana chuckled. "Forget about that, anyways, I have something to tell you".


    "Let''s talk".


    Looking at the face of this Nak Champion, Legs knew that it was serious.


    He turned to look at his beasts. "Ok guys, let''s catch upter".


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Without hesitation, Ak went to the beast ne.


    Unlike before when he just contracted the Wolf, Ak was now an Emperor, he had a whole horde of wolves that he was looking after.


    Not just a horde though, unlike his master who was still a miserable single, Ak already had a family of his own after snagging up Nymeria long ago.


    Warp Prime also left to the beast ne as he was in the process of emting the others to start his own army of beasts.


    The others were no different. Bran tore a portal and left to the Void Dimension; he had his army of Void Beasts to also look after.


    As for Predator, he teleported to the Nightmare Beast Ind. He may currently have only 3 subordinates, but they were all powerful andst Legs heard, Predator was entertaining thoughts of mating.


    Afterall, the Nightmare Beast bloodline had to replicate.


    It was rational but Legs still felt, uhh¡­ peeved.


    All the others left except Lucky. From her bodynguage, this Fox definitely had no intentions to leave so Champion Onana allowed it.


    Champion Onana went straight to the point as he led a walk around the massive garden. "So, what are your ns?"


    Legs looked at Onana, he chuckled. "I thought you said you had something to tell me, not question me".


    "¡­"


    Seeing the look on the Nak Champion''s face, he coughed. "What ns?"


    "On leaving Darvis".


    Legs paused for a few seconds to think. "It has been on my mind since the victory. I''ve not yet hatched any n; I think before making any decision I need to consult with you, it depends on you".


    Legs looked at him. "You''re the one with the means of getting us out of the Roronoa Star System, I can''t".


    Champion Onana nodded. "That''s why I came to meet you, I want to hear your opinion first, I intend to contact my master today".


    "Only an ultra-range teleportation portal can enable travel across Star Systems, it''s how we were able to arrive here for our ns".


    "My master can deploy one to enable us go back to Nak Space but¡­" Champion Onana paused. "Before leaving, there''s something else that I want done, the thing that brought the Bug disaster".


    He looked back at Legs.  Titania".


    Instantly after hearing that term, Legs'' brain whirred as a lot of things went on in his mind. ''Yes! I almost forgot, there''s that too''.


    He returned Onana''s gaze. "What is your decision?"


    "General Aztog died during the Cataclysm, I am now the highest-ranking soldier of the Nak Navy deployed here both in status and in military rank".


    "I don''t intend to give Titania over to the Nak Navy".


    "They demanded for Darvis and its resources, mostly Arcanite metal, I alreadypleted my mission, I will give them that".


    "I believe with you; we can go there to properly negotiate and hatch out a n that will benefit both sides".


    "As for Titania, I discovered it, I won''t relinquish im over it but¡­" His eyes focused on Legs. "I won''t im full ownership of it either".


    He chuckled. "Without you, against the Bug, I am a dead man".


    "I will take 50% ownership while you take 50%".


    Legs raised his eyebrows. "What of Darvis?"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "In my opinion, you won the war, not the, their contribution is negligible. Of course, if you are generous, you can share your part with them".


    "¡­" Legs was silent for seconds as he stared back at Champion Onana.


    The atmosphere became oppressive for a few seconds as even Lucky almost started squeaking in an uneasy manner, this was when Legs finally smiled.


    "Your tone is harsh but fair enough".


    "Is that a deal?"


    "Yeah". Legs nodded with a smile. "Tell me when you''re ready to go".


    "Good, I will go report to my master now".


    "Wait, one more thing". Legs looked at him. "When you speak to your master, tell him that he should activate the ultra-range portal after like a month from now, I have other business to attend to".


    Champion Onana squinted his eyes. "Which other business?"


    Austere".


    ¡­


    Inside a cabin in the Golden Cicada¡­


    Bzzz!


    A virtual projection appeared in the air as a familiar face showed.


    "Master". Champion Onana bowed respectfully as soon as the face showed.


    For a few seconds, the middle-aged man silently looked at him.


    Despite his deceiving looks, Champion Onana knew that his master was already over 8 centuries old as he kept his head down in respect.


    "You didn''t die¡­" He finally spoke.


    "¡­" Champion Onana''s mouth twitched.


    "And somehow, you actually came out of that ordeal stronger than before, impressive, you did well".


    "Thank you master". Champion Onana finally raised his head. "There were unexpectedplications which increased the projected casualties, but, despite all of it, the mission is nowpleted".


    Admiral Zhao looked at his student with a smile on his face. "After using my token 4 times, tell me, how did you do it?" He leaned over curiously.


    "¡­" Champion Onana froze. "How did you know?"


    "I give tokens to very few people in the universe, and due to how few of them I give out, I have fullprehension over their activities".


    "Despite giving you only 2, I felt you use them 3 times, how? And from what I''m seeing, you still have one with you".


    Champion Onana looked down, then he took a deep breath. "I still don''t know what exactly happened yet, I suspect it''s Legs but I''ve not asked him".


    "After winning the war, on checking my life wrist-pad, I was surprised to see it recorded that I died during the war".


    "The wrist-pad is still glitching since it can''t exin why I''m still alive".


    "I don''t know what happened".


    Admiral Zhao''s eyes narrowed as he looked at the wrist-pad. ''Is it a Reality-altering ability? No, there''s nothing a Super with such powers will be doing here''.


    ''Even if he is, there''s nothing valuable here that he can be after''.


    ''So, is it time travel?''


    "Do you think it''s time travel?" He asked his student.


    Onana paused to think. "That''s also the most probable reason that I also arrived at, I just don''t understand how it happened".


    The Admiral smiled. "The more I know about this new friend of yours, the more fascinating he seems to me, I''d like to meet him one day".


    "Will he being?"


    "Yes, Master".


    "Good". He nodded. "Indicate when you''re ready and the portal will be opened, I already gave the orders for the materials required to be gathered".


    Admiral Zhao finally got prepared to cut off the connection.


    Just before he could though, Onana interrupted. "Wait¡­, there''s something else". He looked at his master. "I discovered a Metal ¡­"


    "It''s yours". Admiral Zhao smiled at him.


    "They knew of your predicament but refused to send reinforcements, what matters is that you fulfilled your mission, there''s no need to do more".


    "Take that as the reward for going the extra mile".


    Champion Onana smiled. "Thanks".


    Admiral Zhao looked at him. "I still believe in your potential, shock me".

    Legs looked at this notification again with a calm look on his face. ''It''s time to tackle this mission''.


    "Send for Edgar".


    His personal assistant did not hesitate as she left to fulfill the order. A few minutester, there was a knock on the door and a familiar face entered.


    Looking at the smooth ck hair and the familiar face, again, Legs felt emotional. ''I''ve reallye a long way''.


    ''From the time when I was so powerless and easily sent to my death in the Nightmare Beast Ind, now I can even transport warriors from others''.


    ''Edgar, John, E¡­, my influence has really increased''.


    "Sit".


    With a nod, Edgar sat respectfully opposite him and looked at him.


    Legs looked at him with a smile. "How are you doing?"


    "I''m doing great". Edgar reciprocated the smile. "The war made us lose a lot, my rogue hunter group lost a lot of members but it''s all worth it since we won in the end, our sacrifice was not in vain, that''s what matters most".


    Legs nodded. "You''re right, what matters is that we won".


    "So, as to the reason why I called you here, do you remember your conversation with his Almighty the Hermit?"


    Edgar perked up. "We had more than 1 conversation, Army Commander".


    "Yeah, I know". Legs nodded. "He said you were the chosen one, he gave you the confidence to embrace your destiny in the journey to liberate your".


    "Yes!" Edgar paid even more attention now.


    Legs grinned. "The time that his Almighty spoke of is now".


    Edgar felt excitement grip him as he forced himself to calm down. "Army Commander, what should I do?"


    "Tell me all about the strongest beasts in Austere, the true leaders of the Apocalypse that are threatening the fall of the".


    "Yes sir!"


    "Write and borate on the board". Legs showed him a white board.


    Edgar was excited as he started scribbling away at the board. "There are numerous powerful beasts threatening our existence since the inception of the Apocalypse, but the most prominent of them are 12".


    "There are 11 leaders who led the raid during the beginning of the Apocalypse, 11 Grade B Monsters, theyid the raid that brought the Apocalypse".


    "We call them the 11 Nightmare Monsters".


    Edgar drew an borate illustration of them on the board. "Every child is taught to know them from a very young age, the Ice Gorr is their leader".


    "As for the 12th most prominent beast, you have encountered him once".


    Legs raised his eyebrows. "That mad beast?"


    "Yes, it''s Conan, the Mad Berserker". Edgar nodded. "Despite not being a Grade B Beast, his incredible Supreme Talents grants him more than enough strength to pose a great amount of threat to our existence".


    Legs nodded. "11 Grade B Beasts vs the Skyrim and Human King, no wonder the is in such a dire state".


    "But¡­" Legs'' eyes narrowed. "11 Grade B Beasts are more than enough to tten both the Skyrim and Human Kings, why have they not overrun the since long ago with such power at their disposal?"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Edgar looked at him. "The fear of death".


    "They may be powerful and dreadful beasts but they also don''t want to die".


    "They know that if they push the Human King and the Skyrim King too hard, in a fit of desperation, they could take any of them alongside to the afterlife".


    "That''s why they mostly only send their subordinates to pressure and kill us, their intention was to whittle us slowly until we die a slow death".


    Legs'' eyes shone in understanding. "In the end, it''s procrastination, who would be the one to sacrifice his life for the collective cause".


    "Yes".


    "Good". Legs nodded. "Is that all?"


    "Yes".


    "Then tell the Human King and the Skyrim King to prepare, tell him that in an hour, we''re going back to Austere".


    Edgar turned to look at him. "But¡­, after leaving our toe join this war, I believe that Austere is already a monster".


    "Yes, I know". Legs nodded. "My intention is to take it back".


    Edgar silently looked at him, then he bowed. "Yes, Army Commander".


    ¡­


    An hourter, hundreds of thousands of warriors were gathered, both NPC and yers as they got prepared to go for war.


    This time, it was not just the warriors that came from Austere that were about to go back, warriors from Darvis also joined them.


    After the end of the Cataclysm, the warriors already saw each other as allies. Since the warriors of Austere came to help them, they were obligated to repay this favor and was why the whole was about to go help.


    All the yers in Darvis were hyped as they received new missions.


    [You have received Austere Main Storyline Mission: The War of Austere!]


    [Mission Details: After centuries of oppression in the hands of the beasts of the Apocalypse, the warriors of Austere are finally ready to mount aeback and reim hold of their.]


    [Main Mission: Aid them in fighting the war and reiming their.]


    [Mission Rewards: ???]


    This time, a familiar but even more crazy scene took ce in arge square as hundreds of thousands of warriors kneeled and prayed to an unknown existence, possibly a god that ruled above a certain gray world.


    With Legs taking the lead, everyone else followed his cue.


    "Your Excellency the Hermit¡­"


    "the one who rules in the gray mist¡­"


    "the unmatched ruler of the gray world¡­"


    "bestow me with your blessings¡­"


    "grant me the resilience to witness the journey between worlds¡­"


    A mighty power erupted with Legs at it''s center as gray mist started spreading through the air, engulfing all the warriors that were engaged in this prayer, taking them all for an unprecedented transportation.


    It took a few seconds due to the sheer number but it was soon done.


    Then, the next moment, it happened.


    BZZZ!


    Hundreds of thousands of warriors were teleported out of Austere.

 Chapter 497 Planet Austeres Story [2]

    ?


    In just a week, Austere was already a changed spectacle, this change was mostly in the territory that was not yet upied by the beasts.


    No Skyrim or human could be seen roaming the''s surface anymore, Austere was now purely a Monster.


    Everywhere, you could see beasts roaming. It was now a wild filled with carnage as the wild monsters asionally shed, spilling each other''s blood ruthlessly as they engaged in cannibalism.


    The only ces where this was not seen was the 3 shelters.


    The Skyrim King did not just leave his people defenseless while going to fight another man''s war. He only agreed to leave because he was guaranteed of their safety inside the heirloom white grade treasure, the 3 Shelters.


    This special treasure was one important reason why they were able to survive the first wave of the apocalypse.


    When activated, by burning a lot of the natural mana that was present on the, this treasure erected 3 different shelters fully focused on defense.


    Only Grade A Supers and Monsters could breach it''s defense.


    It was thest line of defense if the was ever lost.


    After majority of the warriors left to fight Darvis'' war, all the civilians were kept inside the 3 Shelters and were left with enough food tost 3 months.


    This was the only reason why the Skyrim King could leave without worrying.


    Inside the shelter, they watched as their was overrun by the beasts.


    "Rooarrrr¡­!!!"


    Every day, they could hear the roars of beasts.


    The few warriors that were left to protect them watched through the tiny see-through sses, they watched the apocalypse beasts rampage on their territory, tearing down all their structures and evidence of civilization.


    In just a few days, there was nothing left of the resistance in Austere against the apocalypse beasts that was spearheaded by the Hunter Society.


    Even the headquarters of the Hunter Society was now nothing more than a ruin, Austere seemed to have gone back a thousand years into the past.


    The only things now roaming the where the dangerous beasts who never seemed to got along with each other, the ruins which were evident of sentient life interaction, and the tall trees spanning across thousands of kilometers.


    Inside the 3 Shelters, the only surviving remnants of civilization, the Skyrim, humans, and other demon survivors prayed for the sess of their leaders.


    "Space God, I put my life into your hands".


    "Even if you can''t save me, please save the life of my wife and daughter".


    A man prayed for his family.


    Another man stood on a podium, leading a congregation of faithful in prayer. "Oh Great Metal God of War, I pray and beseech unto you this day, presenting the fate of Austere into your hands".


    "The Human King has gone for war".


    "The Skyrim King has gone for war".


    "Empower them with your omniscient power of war, grant them your grace of war victory, show them favor in blood and glory!"


    "Wipe all the beasts and let your glory be seen!"


    "Let your glory be seen!" The congregation echoed him.


    For days, everywhere across the shelters, different churches sprang up as the survivors found ways to cling to hope but like it was a lingering devil in the dark, they could hear a voice whispering into their ears in a menacing tone.


    In their daily prayers, in their sleep, everywhere, they heard it.


    ''Wake up to reality!''


    It never failed to chill them to their deepest bones.


    The more they prayed, the more they lost hope and feared for their lives.


    After more than a week, they already gave up, thinking that all their warriors that went to the unknown were dead as the church priests preached sermons on life after death but on this fateful day, everything changed.


    A beacon of hope in the darkness that perhaps, it was not yet time to die.


    It was during the afternoon when the sun was hot and full in the sky that they felt the familiar presence of the energy, they soon saw gray mist.


    ''It''s happening again!'' Excitement spread through the shelters.


    It didn''tst long, it started and ended in an instant.


    BZZZZ!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The next moment, hundreds of thousands of warriors descended in this. Not just warriors, warships followed them, and they opened fire immediately once they fully materialized in this.


    Excitement was palpable as it spread through the shelters like a gue or wildfire in harmattan, it was contagious as they cheered to the return of their heroes, hope was finally restored.


    While the humans and Skyrims rejoiced, the beasts were baffled.


    Having roamed the whole, a whole bunch of beasts saw it immediately as they appeared, some even suffered as the warriors appeared directly above them,pressing them to the ground.


    Seeing the metal structures that roamed the skies, they were even more confused.


    "Roar!?"


    "Roar!?" They let out confused roars and snarls.


    They were not confused for long though; this army did not keep them waiting.


    They did not hesitate to kickstart a war against the beasts.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Led by the Legs Baron, the warships kickstarted the war as all their weapon muzzles aimed before unleashing disaster on the beasts!


    They didn''t even need to adjust their aim, there were beasts everywhere across the, all they needed was to simply bombard the hell out of them.


    The ground shook and boomed from the impact of ballistic projectiles!


    Trees were scorched by the raining fury ofser guns!


    Beasts werecerated by the raining intensity of the warships!


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Beast flesh flew everywhere like it was a ughter ground even as methrowers scorched their flesh, turning this battlefield into what seemed akin to a gigantic Kitchen Republic restaurant, the smell of meat wafted in the air.


    The battleships didn''t do all the work though, hundreds of thousands of Supers joined even as a single warship left the others.


    After suffering the fury of the Apocalypse beasts for all their lives, all the Austere-born warriors were extra enthusiastic as they pounced on the beasts, unleashing their pent-up fury and frustration.


    "This is for the fear bastards!"


    "This is for my hellish childhood!"


    "This is for making me put up with the strict rules of the Hunter Society!"


    "This is for making me miss the sweet bloom of youth!"


    "This is for all myrades that had died to you f*cking bastards!"


    "This is for all hunters that ever died to you beasts!"


    "This is for me still being a virgin at 30!"


    They channeled their fury at the beasts, prompting the Darvis-bred warriors to join them enthusiastically as they channeled the fury of their allies.


    The yers did not shy from the excitement and the thrill.


    "Hell yeah!"


    "Free floating experience points just for the taking!"


    "We''re the luckiest man, 2 Main Grade A Storylines in just 1 Version and I still believe it''s all because of the Army Commander!"


    "He''s the G.O.A.T I''m tellin yah!"


    "That''s why he''s the G.O.A.T! The Sexy Chocte!"


    While chaos ensued in the, the Golden Cicada elerated deep into Beast territory, straight to the territory of the leader of the beasts, the Ice Gori.


    Inside this warship, Legs'' eyes gleamed.


    He advised hispanions. "Take this from me".


    "In every situation you find yourself, in war, in peace, in love, in heartbreak, never forget to benefit yourself, very important!"

 Chapter 498 Planet Austeres Story [3]

    ?


    The territory of the Ice Gori was in the extreme North of Austere¡­


    This single most powerful beast in Austere had a transcendent status. There could be only one King in a mountain, no other Grade B Beast strayed anywhere close to the North, he was the sole ruler here.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    That fateful morning, this powerful beast was woken from his slumber and like usual when his sleep was disrupted, he woke up raging.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    His hoots sounded like the deepest of roars as he beat his chest aggressively, inducing mini-earthquakes in his surroundings as he finally fully woke up.


    "¡­!" This beast''s antics stopped when he noticed themotion.


    This was when he noticed it, the disturbance this time was not just between 2 Goris under him that were mad enough to fight and disturb his sleep, he discovered that what caused the disturbance this time was much bigger.


    Looking, shock and confusion showed in this apex predator''s face.


    This that already turned into his about a week ago suddenly seemed to have turned into an entirely different yground.


    He could see humans and Skyrims everywhere fighting against beasts.


    It was a shocking sight but this was not enough to leave this apex predator confused, what left him confused were the metal structures that roamed in the skies, this beast was bbergasted.


    "ROAR?!" He roared in a confused manner.

    ''Afterall, it''s not every day that I see pinnacle Grade B Beasts to tame''.


    Clearing his throat in the Golden Cicada, Legs turned to advise hispanions. "Take this from me".


    "In every situation you find yourself, in war, in peace, in love, in heartbreak, never forget to benefit yourself, very important!"


    "Open the hatch".


    "Yes, Army Commander!"


    The next moment, Legs jumped out of the flying warship straight towards their of Austere''s apex predator as this beast roared in challenge.


    Mid-air, he made his move.

    After making Predator his first Apostle Beast, Legs'' organic connection with his beast increased exponentially which reflected in the base control level.


    Now, his overall control level when integrated with Predator already exceeded 100%, this was an incredible milestone for any Summoner.


    BZZZ!


    Power erupted from him as their connection deepened even further.


    In the state of Unity with Predator, he no longer felt any barriers. Usually, despite integrating with his beasts, there was always a bridge differentiating their personalities and powers, this time it was no more.


    Once they triggered Unity, Legs and Predator really became one.


    This was not the end, once the Warpsnare appeared from the beast ne, Legs was prepared as he dragged the beast into his body.


    He created one of his iconic partial forms again.


    In the Darkness Demon form, Legs felt full of power, it showed.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    Feeling the power radiating from this existence, the Ice Gori felt threatened as he roared in a threatening manner but Legs was not here to y word games with him, he was here to benefit.


    Bzzz!


    The Ice Gori jerked as the strange beast suddenly disappeared into shadows. The next moment, he felt a cold chill approaching from behind.


    -----


    You have activated Darkness Demon Ability: Shadow Blink!


    You have activated Darkness Demon Ability: Pain from the Shadow Realm!


    ----


    BOOM¡­!!!


    The Ice Gori felt like he was suddenly hit by a sledgehammer from behind.


    "¡­!" This beast could not even roar in pain, it was a silent roar of agony.


    This painful impact kickstarted the total destruction that followed.


    As an apex predator, the Ice Gori had an army of his own but Legs was prepared, he brought Bran and Ak for a reason. These 2 beasts came with their army of beasts as they shed against the Goris aggressively.


    For the first few seconds, the Ice Gori was dominated but once it regained it''s bearing and rage, this powerful apex predator mounted aeback.


    Despite all of Legs'' crazy advantages, in the end, he was still a new Grade B Summoner, there was no way he was ending this beast anytime soon.


    Mounting a fearsome resistance, this beast retaliated, yet the worst thing was he could never hit Legs no matter how hard he tried.


    The Ice Gori may be stronger by a crazy margin but he was slower, Legs was not the one throwing the punches any longer, he only kited this powerful beast but the worst thing to the Gori was that the human looked cool doing this.


    He was infuriated. "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Legs was toying with this powerful apex predator.


    From the Golden Cicada, the crew that escorted the Army Commander here watched with bbergasted looks on their faces. ''What power!''


    ''He can look so cool while fighting a Grade B apex predator!''


    ''Damn, I wish I was a Summoner too, their fighting style is so cool!''


    A Nak warrior clenched his fist. ''The Army Commander is my role model, one day, I believe I''ll be able to toy with apex predators too!''


    Legs may not havended the most vicious of blows, in fact, he had no chances of killing the Ice Gori since this beast''s vitality was borderline ridiculous.


    Legs had no intentions to kill it though, he already made his choice.


    After toying with it for minutes, this apex predator lost hope of the battle and in shame, he ignored his dignity to escape, this was when Legs did his thing.


    Bzzz!


    One burst of speed and in a second, he was already before this apex predator as he ced his hand on its head and did the thing.

    The Ice Gori was no Azrael, the taming process ended instantly.


    This gigantic Gori bowed the next moment. "Master".


    Watching this scene from the Golden Cicada, all the members of the crew felt goosebumps. ''The Army Commander is so awesome!''


    Legs looked up at them as he patted the Gori''s head. "And that, my boys, is what you call benefiting from the situation".

 Chapter 499 Planet Austeres Story [4]

    ?


    Thud!


    A powerful warrior descended in the territory of a powerful beast.


    "It''s you!" This beast could speak themon tongue.


    Of the 11 beast leaders of the Apocalypse in Austere, only 2 of them were female, the Horned Yellow Fox and the White Tiger.


    This was their of the Horned Yellow Fox that was deep in the woods.


    "Yes, it''s me". The Human King replied in a deep tone as his grasp on his War Hammer became firmer even as he paid extra attention to his mental state.


    "So, you are the ones who brought these outsiders?"


    "You are a coward who is unable to fight your own battles!"


    "So be it". The Human King''s ck face was stone cold and focused.


    "¡­" The Horned Yellow Fox snorted. ''As foolish as ever''.


    "You''re truly foolish if you think you can fight me alone and win".


    "Who said I was alone?"


    She looked up instantly, this was when she noticed the second familiar face that was levitating in the skies. For the past few minutes, he was so still in the skies that this powerful Horned Fox was unable to see him on time.


    She snarled as she felt his now rampaging Psychic Energy. "You¡­!"


    "You have a chance to survive". A fourth voice interjected.


    Shocked, this Horned Fox instinctively retreated a bit as she looked to the side to see the new enemy. This enemy was surprisingly not a human like she expected, neither was she a Skyrim, she was rather a Fox, like her.


    "Who are you?" Her eyes narrowed.


    "Who I am does not matter, what matters is that I am an Emperor Star Fox who grows stronger by taking powerful Foxes under mymand".


    "This is not one-sided, the Foxes that I take in also grow stronger".


    "I doubt you know him but one of my subordinates sublimated some time ago, he is now a Cmity Grade Red Fox".


    The powerful Horned Fox snorted as she looked at the Human and Skyrim King. "So funny! Is this your trick to lure me and kill me?"


    "You really underestimate my cunning and abilities to think this up!"


    Neither of the 2 Kings spoke, Lucky continued. "You can think all that you want but I am the one trying to save your life here. If those 2 engage you in battle, I already promised them, I will help them end you".


    The Horned Fox smirked. "Big words".


    "How old are you, do you even know my powers?"


    "Yes". Lucky''s tone radiated an eerie confidence. "Probability, right?" She looked up at the Skyrim King who nodded in consent.


    The Horned Fox''s eyes narrowed.


    Lucky continued. "I don''t know about you but my big bro also has probability powers. After years of staying close to him, I know how it works".


    "Probability relies heavily on luck to work; luck is an integral part of it".


    "And, to make it easier for you to understand, my name is Lucky". She smiled.


    Snarling, this Horned Fox no longer listened to their words as she made her move. She was not arrogant for nothing; she was not the strongest of the Apocalypse Beast Leaders but her powers were by far the oddest.


    She ranked at the very top when it came to casualties suffered by the Hunter Society to her, it was why the Skyrim King sought Lucky''s help to take care of her.


    Afterall, when fighting opponents with odd powers, it was better to rely on your allies with even more odd powers.


    "Special Probability Ability: Threads of Fate!"


    "Cut!" This Horned Fox chanted as a mighty arcane power descended.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Originally, this simple move from her was enough to drain the luck of her opponents to a ridiculous low, enabling all her probability attacks to hit at their highest efficiency every single time, but unfortunately, not today.


    Lucky''s eyes glowed like the starry sky. "Supreme Talent: Perfect Luck Glow!"


    Instantly, the Skyrim King and the Human King were enveloped by a barely visible blue corona of energy that increased their luck to ridiculous values.


    "¡­!!!" The Horned Fox watched with shock evident on her eyes.


    Lucky did not stop at that. "I warned you".


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Luck Maniption!"


    "Target: ¡­"


    Illusory hands appeared before Lucky the next moment as forming a love shape before her face, her eyes focused on the Horned Fox, she was marked.


    "Target: Istrah!" Lucky called her real name; the Horned Fox was shocked.


    ''How?'' This was thest coherent thought that she ever had.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Screwed Luck- Poor Istrah!"


    The Horned Fox shuddered; she could feel strange powers shackling her soul. Not just her soul, her fate and destiny were also shackled.


    ''W-what¡­?''


    Lucky looked at her allies. "It''s done, finish her".


    Both Austere Kings moved at the same time.


    With the Human King rushing closer to m down with his hammer, the Skyrim King operated from the skies as he unleashed powerful Psychic sts.


    The Horned Fox''s luck was so screwed that she could not even dodge. When she eventually almost dodged, unluckily, there was a hole behind her as she lost her bnce, leaving herselfpletely vulnerable to the attacks.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Yeah, that was indeed thest coherent thought that she ever had.


    Thest moments of her life were total agony.


    "Rawrrr¡­!"


    "No¡­!!!"


    From roaring like a kid who cut his fingers in the process of cutting his fingernails, then screaming like a pregnant woman inbor, there was no sound that this unfortunate Fox didn''t make in herst moments.


    At this moment, the Skyrim King already forgot the notion of gender equality as he sted this Fox mentally to a state of total pity, the poor Fox.


    The Skyrim King totally vited her mental space, ravaging her even as the Human King vited her body, leaving her battered and bloody.


    Right before death, with blood all over her body, this Horned Fox struggled to look at the blue Fox who caused everything and watched from the sidelines.


    "Y-You should not be possible in this universe".


    "Your powers vites all the rules of luck".


    She coughed blood. "I-I hate¡­ you¡­"


    She died.


    Another of the Beast Leaders in Austere was dead.

    ?


    The mountain of the White Tiger¡­


    This iconic and dreadful mountain was located at a ce that could be viewed as the center of this, it has served as the graveyard of millions of Skyrims and humans over the years.


    Taking an extremely important strategic spot filled with mana veins, mana was abundant there which was an embodiment of who the White Tiger was.


    The Empress there, she was known as the White Overlord.


    Being the youngest of the Beast leaders of the Apocalypse, she truly developed her powers aftering to this mountain, gaining a Supreme Talent that was able to grant her unrestricted ess to Void energy.


    Mixing this with the abundant mana in the mountain, her notoriety grew as in battle, she was able to overwhelm her opponents with countless attacks from every side every single time.


    Not even the Ice Gori dared barge into her territory uninvited.


    Today though, there were uninvited guests.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Hearing the loud booming sounds reverberating across the, this short-tempered female White Tiger rose up from herir as she roared a challenge angrily at whoever was causing themotion.


    This was when she saw it, like the others, she was shocked.


    The White Tiger was hot-tempered but she was clever. Having bullied the human and skyrim inhabitants of this for centuries, she knew their overall warrior poption, what she was currently seeing was definitely abnormal.


    ''This can''t be warriors belonging to the Human and Skyrim Kings''.


    Unlike the Horned Fox who through her peculiar abilities was able to tell instantly that the reinforcements were from another, she could not tell, she was only left suspicious and paranoid.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    Seeing one of the huge metal structures roaming the skies fly towards her territory, her eyes narrowed as she roared in a probing manner.


    The warship did not stop, the White Tiger was already marked.


    The White Tiger squinted her eyes as she noticed the metal existence that was currently mounted on top the warship like he was riding it. Through her senses, she knew that this existence was different from the metal structure.


    "Berserker, work with me, let''s make this fast". His deep voice reverberated even as through his neural connection; he gave orders to the mech suit.


    The machine hummed in reply.


    ~BERSERKER~


    "Order Acknowledged!"


    Champion Onana rxed and settled properly inside his mech suit as he steadied his aim, then he finally started what he was best at.


    "Special Berserker Ability: Overload!"


    "Special Berserker Ability: Powell Endurance!"


    "Special Berserker Ability: Arcanite- Natural Resonance!"


    "Special Magic Ability: Absolute Domain!"


    "Special Magic Ability: Absolute Domain- Wear and Tear!"


    "Special Magic Ability: Dimensional st!"


    "Special Berserker Ability: Suction Force!"


    Having survived a war as dire as the Cataclysm against the Bug Emperor, this machine''s connection with its master developed even further.


    Also, due to its masterwork state, after the stimting war, this machine''s A.I was already transforming in a fundamental manner to develop sentience.


    All these transformations made Berserker a far better war mech than it was before and during the Cataclysm, this masterwork mech responded to the actions of his master like they were one as it boomed to life!


    HUM!


    As the power of this mech charged, the White Tiger felt danger.


    Whoosh!


    Without hesitation, the notorious White Overlord betrayed all expectations from her hunters as she turned and charged away, her destination was outside her territory. Without a doubt, this White Tiger aimed to escape.


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­..!"


    Champion Onana was stunned, all the crew of the warship was stunned.


    ''Wtf!''


    ''I thought she was supposed to be a Tiger with a notorious reputation and hot-blooded temper, she''s escaping?!''


    They were stunned but this did not stop the fluidity of their hunt.


    Berserker''s weapons were already booming with power.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    It took only less than a minute for the powerful White Tiger to be cornered and like every cornered prey, sheshed out desperately.


    "Supreme Talent: Void Connection!"


    "Self-Created Ability: Void Grinder!"


    BZZZ!


    The next moment, thousands of mini portals to the void dimension opened and from these portals came out void energy that was already concentrated into thin void des that had crazy pration power.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The warship activated it''s shield generator immediately, barely able to withstand the onught. In the end, it was the White Tiger''s own subordinates that suffered more casualties as they were killed by the rampaging void des.


    Instantly after the Dimensional st from Champion Onana, the White Tiger was weakened even as he used all his mech''s weapons to batter it.


    In just 20 minutes, this White Tiger was close to death.


    The power of a warship mixed with a Grade B Mechanic of Champion Onana''s caliber was too much for this beast to handle.


    Champion Onana did not kill the beast yet though, he instead stalled as he looked at his time. "He should be here soon".


    "Legs and his weird reasons, I don''t know why he insists on being the one tond the killing blow to these beasts".


    The next moment, he was attracted by a blinding light from distance.

    By the time that the 2nd and 3rd atomic st arrived, this beast was already close to death. Unfortunately for it, the Atomic Disintegration triggered.


    Letting out angry and unwilling roars, the crew of this warship and Champion Onana watched at this White Tiger disintegrated into dust.


    She was dead in an instant.

    At a certain corner in Austere¡­


    "GRRRR¡­!"


    The loud grunt of a Deer reverberated in an intense battlefield.


    With his Lightsaber on his hand, de put all his martial arts skills in y as he dominated the Mad Deer, one of the Beast Leaders in Austere.


    Unlike normal Deers, not only did this guy break his bloodline limitations to be a Grade B Beast, he also had ess to space energy.


    He was a unique anomaly but today was not his day. Today, he was going to die and it happened as de suddenly felt the familiar presence.


    Without hesitation, he rapidly retreated from the presence of the beast.

    At another battlefield, Christensen ambushed a Crane from the skies as he brawled fiercely with this beast, trying his best to subdue it.


    "Uranus, keep her still, I''ll try to tame it".


    To tame his first Grade B Beast, Christensen had to go the extra mile. With Uranus helping him to subdue the beast, keeping it still, he tried to tame it as he was dragged to the soul world where they started a battle of willpower.


    Christensen spent more than a minute in reality which showed the ridiculous time that he spent brawling with this beast''s soul in the soul world.


    By the time that he was done, he copsed on the ground, exhausted.


    "F*ck! How is master able to do it so effortlessly?"


    "And?" Uranus asked hesitantly.


    "It was a sess,e here boy, you''re the best". Christensen hugged him.


    ¡­


    For 5 hours, Austere was a chaotic battlefield as the warriors led by Legs led a crazy offensive against the beasts of the apocalypse.


    For years, these beasts had been terrorizing the humans and the skyrims. For the first time in their history, they were finally able to repay the favor.


    Legs was literally everywhere with his Positron Rifle, unleashing killer shots from distance to steal the kill of any prominent Grade B Beast.


    By the 8th hour since the raid started, the 11th Grade B Beast finally died.

    Only 1 beast was remaining.


    Cornered from every side by enemies, the Mad Honey Badger growled angrily as he aggressively faced his opponents without any fear.


    Legs chuckled. "It''s exactly this quality that I love about you, that''s why I will not kill you". His eyes glowed in a sinister manner. "I will make you mine".

    Bzzz!


    Legs'' soul was dragged away.

 Chapter 501 End Of Planet Austeres Storyline

    ?


    Bzzz!


    When Legs regained his orientation, he was in a familiar world.


    He was shocked. "Hell nah man¡­, not again!"


    With a look of exasperation on his face, he looked up only to see the menacing face of the angry Honey Badger ring at him.


    Legs ced his hands on his hips. "We don''t want to do this man".


    "We''ll regret it".


    "SURRENDER, FILTHY HUMAN!"


    "¡­"


    Legs sighed. "Whatever you say man".


    He instantly materialized a nuke warhead the next moment. "Don''t say I didn''t warn you, we''ll both hate this at the end".


    Heunched the nuke.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    The battle of the mind started.


    Compared to the Demon Asura, Azrael, Conan was no scientist, he was a berserker. Instead of thinking of the most ingenious and effective ways to kill his opponent, this mad Berserker instead thought up the rawest killing weapons.


    One moment, his teeth became as huge and tall as a literal, stabbing and ripping Legs to shreds, not even his blood was spared.


    Another moment, the huge body of this Honey Badger grew chainsaws as he sawed Legs to death in the most ruthless and bloodiest of ways.


    Legs didn''t die as frequently as when he fought against Azrael but every single death to Conan was ruthless and traumatizing.


    "You brainless beast!" He was incensed after dying again. "I''ll show you never to mess with me again, I wanted to take it easy but you clearly don''t want".


    Originally, Legs was imaginative but his imaginations were still morally positive, not this time though. Legs went berserk with his imagination.


    Injecting poisons that could mess with Conan''s nerves, brain, and body, he gave this beast the cruelest of death through poison.


    Other times, he created abominable chemical products which he envisioned from movies that he watched in his previous life. He turned Conan to a brainless zombie numerous times as this beast suffered the fate of being a living dead.


    Before Legs could exhaust his options, Conan gave up.


    With a rotting body that refused to die, with maggots crawling in and out of his body, this Honey Badger gave up. "I give up!"


    "Please kill me!"


    "It''s too much, please kill me!"


    Legs finally calmed down as he took deep breaths. "I thought you won''t say it". He smirked, still slightly peeved. "As you wish".


    Bzzz!


    His consciousness returned to his body instantly.


    -----


    You havemunicated with the Honey Badger- Conan, the Mad Berserker!


    You have attempted to tame the Mad Honey Badger¡­, attempt sessful!


    You have tamed a Grade C+ Honey Badger!


    ----


    ''Phew!'' Legs sighed in relief and excitement.


    His excitement was not because of getting a Grade C+ tamed beast, it was more because of Conan''s crazy supreme talents. ''In terms of talents, I''ve not yet seen any Grade C beast or warrior that eclipses him''.


    ''I wonder if like I did with Christensen, I can get his supreme talents''.


    He was hyped at the thought and the challenge.


    This was when his game interface lit up again with a notification.

    ----


    ''Damn!'' This was Legs'' reaction to this new notification.


    Then, he challenged Conan only due to his desperation to get stronger in preparation for the inevitable showdown against the Bug Emperor.


    In the end, it helped him as he got a Supreme Talent but he never expected the mission he triggered then to benefit him so much now.


    "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, either good or bad". He chuckled. "This time, the reaction was good and beneficial".


    With Conan tamed, the war in Austere was officially over.


    What remained was skirmishes to clear out the beasts.


    Standing on top a mountain with his allies, Legs looked at the whole, at the warriors still pursuing and ughtering the beasts enthusiastically.


    "The view is nice and scary at the same time from up here". He chuckled.


    The Skyrim King turned to look at Legs seriously. "Thank you, without you, we would have never survived the Apocalypse".


    Legs returned the gaze with a smile. "I always pay back my debts".


    "Besides, I also always help my friends". He patted his shoulder.


    "What should we do?" Christensen asked. "We already killed the strongest beasts but they have numerous subordinates, should we wipe them out?"


    "No". Legs turned to look at him. "Our work is done".


    "Let our subordinates finish the work".


    "They have suffered for long, it''s wisdom to let them vent now when they can". Endrick looked across the-wide battlefield.


    ''Actually, they died once, so let them vent''.


    His decision was partly to let the warriors vent, but it was also affected by the yers. ''I need to make them get as much experience as possible to prepare and fatten them up for the uing international yer tournament''.


    ''Then, I will milk them properly''. A grin crept up his face. ''Afterall, they''re my ultimate milk field for experience points''.


    Like he suggested, the Skyrim King and the others stepped down, allowing their yers to clear the remaining beasts out whichsted more than a week.


    By the time that the war finally started dying down, tens of millions of beasts were already dead, their blood gave the''s surface a shade of red as even the sun seemed to mourn them by letting out crimson light.


    The remaining beasts were all forced to the edge of the, the deep forests and the seas where they truly belonged.


    After centuries of suffering, Austere was finally liberated from the tentacles of the Apocalypse that had dug deep into its society.

    ----


    ''Holy¡­ shit!''


    At this moment, Legs was at the home of the Skyrim King as they celebrated their victory over the war against the Apocalypse Beasts, this was the only reason why he didn''t exim in a loud voice.


    Over the course of Darvis and Austere''s storyline, he had grown a lot, bing a much better Summoner through the rewards that he got frompleting missions but in his opinion, this was the best.


    This ability was not the best to him because it was the most OP, it was the best to him because it fit into his ideology like a glove.


    From the very beginning, he never followed the Beast Combatant route like Christensen, instead he followed the more intricate Shepherd Summoner route.


    He followed this route because he trusted his brain more than brute strength in any battle. Most battles that he won like subduing the Human King and Skyrim King when he was captured was won through clever use of words.


    Even his battle with the Guardian Komodo Dragon then, he was able to tame the Guardian Beast through the clever n that he was able toe up with.


    His eyes widened. ''Damn, if I had this ability then, everything would be so simple since it would make my job so much easier''.


    ''With this ability, fooling the Guardian Komodo Dragon would have been even easier since my voice would have really yed the part to perfection''.


    ''Even during that time I managed to convince the Skyrim King and the Human King, it would have been so much easier if I had much more control over my emotions and I was able to y the part perfectly''.


    ''Damn, this ability is truly perfect for me''.


    ''With my future knowledge, I know the insecurities of most powerful beasts in battle, especially those I created or assisted in their creation''.


    ''With my voice after activating this, trash-talking them to rile them up would be so much easier, damn!''


    ''Pretending to berger than life would be even easier now''.


    ''Most of all¡­'' His eyes shone. ''ying the role of the Hermit would be so much easier now''.


    Legs was more than satisfied with this new ability of his.


    Amid his thoughts, the Skyrim King suddenly hit the table to attract the attention of everyone that was present today. Standing up with a smile on his white face, he addressed all the warriors that were present.


    Austere is finally free".


    "Free from the Apocalypse, free from the daily fear of beasts¡­, it''s citizens are finally free from their fear of living their whole life on the edge, scared that 1 beast tide can end it all and make their lives meaningless".


    Austere is no longer a prison¡­" This Skyrim''s eyes became emotional. "It is finally a livable again".


    "I still remember when I was small, my Grandfather always told me about Austere before the Apocalypse, it was so different from the one I grew up on".


    "Then, I vowed that I will cleanse the of all the beasts".


    "For centuries, I could not do it until I met all of you". He looked at them. "You are the ones that helped me to liberate our and for that, on behalf of every citizen of Austere, we are grateful".<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    After thanking them, the Skyrim King''s glowed with a new light. "The old Austere is no more, a new era is upon us".


    "This new era¡­, we intend to take it into our own hands". He smiled.


    "I have spoken with Legs, from today, Austere and Darvis officially besary allies".


    "We will cooperate on any sector eptable to boths".


    "In our times of need, we wille to the aid of each other".


    "Together, let''s rise from the woes of our wars and reach a new peak of prosperity". He grinned. "Let''s enter the gctic society".


    He raised his wine cup. "To a better tomorrow".


    The others echoed him. "To a better tomorrow".


    The celebration continued for a long time. About 3 hourster, Legs and the others from Darvis finally stood up, it was time to leave.


    Before leaving though, Legs turned to a familiar face. "Edgar, thank you, without you, I would have never survived the Cataclysm".


    "His Excellency protected us all". Edgar bowed in gratitude.


    Legs smiled. "After going back, we''ll officially start preparations on entering the outside gxy, what do you say?"


    He raised his brows. "Are you interested?"


    Edgar did not answer immediately, he turned to face the Skyrim King who nodded at him with a smile, he also smiled. "Well, I already fulfilled my destiny here in my, the is saved from the apocalypse".


    "So long as I can guarantee that my rogue hunter group will be safe on my departure, I am enthusiastic to also explore the outside world".


    Legs turned to look at the Skyrim King who kept his smile.


    "Edgar, rest assured, yourrades shall be honored as war heroes".


    "I will personally make sure that nothing happens to them".


    Edgar smiled. "That does it then, I''m leaving".


    Legsughed and pped his shoulder.


    About 20 minutester, all the warriors and yers from Darvis were gathered as they started the ritual to return back to their homes.


    With Legs taking the lead, everyone followed.


    "Your Excellency the Hermit¡­"


    "the one who rules in the gray mist¡­"


    "the unmatched ruler of the gray world¡­"


    "bestow me with your blessings¡­"


    "grant me the resilience to witness the journey between worlds¡­"


    BZZZ!


    They returned home.

    ----


    As soon as Legs returned from Austere, in his office, this was the first thing that he did as he evaluated his current power.


    Apart from his basic stats that separated him from other supers as a Grade B Summoner, the real thing that determined how powerful he was in this grade was the abilities and talents that he had.


    He made checking them his priority. ''Compared to when I was just a Shepherd Summoner with few abilities, I have grown a lot since then, it''s important that I fully understand my powers before facing any other opponent''.


    He had more than 2 passive abilities but at the Grade B realm, it was only the 2 passive abilities from his battle controller sub ss that truly mattered.


    And like their names suggested, both were rted torge-scale wars where he could take his usual role as the leader in battle to massively amplify the strength of his allies, something that he was already pretty good at.


    Compared to before, his active abilities were numerous now.


    He grinned as he looked at a particr ability. "No matter how much I grow even in the future, thebat master ability will never lose its importance".


    "Even when in my final form of amalgamation after fusing with all 4 of my contracted beasts, it is still important to amplify my meleebat ability".


    He rubbed his chin. "I think I can categorize my abilities into 4 main categories now to fully understand them".<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "The first category is the normal Summoner abilities like the beast contract, beast ne summoning, shepherd of the beast ne, and god of the herd".


    "These are all essential abilities of a Summoner but they''re not useful in battle". Legs paid attention to other abilities. "The second category, I will call it thebat category".


    "Abilities like thebat master,mander of the herd, summoner energy maniption, beast integration, beast amalgamation, and even the vocal cord of the Rafous Nightingale all fall under this category".


    His eyes gleamed. "These are my real bite as a Summoner".


    "They''re the most important category of my abilities, they''ve helped me win all my battles". He crossed his fingers in thought. "If I want to improve mybat ability even more, I need to learn to make the most out of these".


    "For a long time, I''ve gone with just nning on the spot and using the most convenient ability for a situation but that has to stop".


    "I doubt future battles will give me the luxury of nning every time".


    Through the window in his office, he looked into the sky. "I will be entering gctic space soon. There, randomness no longer makes the cut".


    "I need to have a proven and fixedbat style that I can improvise on demand to approach multiple differentbat scenarios, it''s the only way for me to keep myself and mypanions alive".


    He paid attention to all the abilities in thebat category. "I need to start research into mybat approach, abination of these abilities in the right way can massively increase their overall power than the raw power of each individual part".


    Instantly, he made this a priority at the back of his mind.


    His attention finally went to the next category. "The next category is the detective category, spearheaded by the detective talent that I got from Christensen".


    He never paid much attention to it after so long, but the detective talent already became an important part of who he was as a Summoner.


    This talent aided him in executing most of his craziest ns in battle that resulted in some of his most famous war victories.


    "Abilities like the Scent Tracking and Auditory Tracking both fall into this category, I reckon I''m quite good at making use of them already". He grinned.


    "I really need to buy Christensen a drink one of these days, taking him in as my student had paid far more than I ever anticipated".


    "The next category is the Spirit Summoner category".


    "Abilities like the spirit summoner, spirit conjurer, spirit resurrection, and the spirit coordinates all fall under this category".


    He sighed. "I''ve neglected my Spirit Summoner abilities for a long time already, not again". He stood up. "If I am to enter the gctic society, I need to use every advantage that I have which includes my Spirit Summoner abilities".


    "I need to put time into properly building them in the next few days".


    "As for thest category of my abilities, I call it my ace, the beast tamer". He grinned again. "Only one ability falls under here, the Grandmaster Beast Tamer".


    "It may not be as shy as any of my other abilities but to me, it is my trump card, it is the greatest weapon in my repertoire".


    "I will be building mybat approach around it".


    "Having tamed beasts like the Ice Gori and Demons like Azrael, adding their power into my arsenal, I think it''s safe to say it''s lowkey my most OP ability".


    "It enables me to fully embrace my main ss as a Summoner".


    "The Cosmic Summoner ability also partially falls into this category since it improves my beast taming abilities, but it also increases the power of my contracted beasts".


    "While trying to understand my abilities, I also need to understand the abilities of my tamed beasts and my contracted beasts".


    "Afterall, they''re the greatest assets of a Summoner".


    Legs looked at his hand, his skin that had a peculiar shade of bronze to it. "Also, my Supreme Talents have changed me a lot".


    "It''s a pity that I don''t have any Summoner-rted supreme talent yet but I can''tin about the ones that I have, both are OP".


    "Killing me despite having both of these talents are a testament to how powerful the Bug Emperor truly was".


    "With these 2 Supreme Talents, I am a Summoner but a Mr. Olympia variant".


    "My defense and health points are more ridiculous than a lot of Pugilists that I have met,bining this with my beasts, I don''t think I have any obvious weaknesses as a Summoner".


    "I just need to learn how to bring the best out of what I have".


    Having made a temte about his future growth as a Summoner already, he finally paid attention to a special game interface notification.

    "I''m finally about to go into space".


    "I guess it''s time to pursue this".


    Knock! Knock!


    Legs looked at the door. "Come in".


    Christensen came in, he was dressed in a suit like he was prepared for an important asion. "Everyone is ready, they''re waiting for you".


    Legs looked at him. "Tell them that I''ming".


    He adjusted his own ck suit. ''It''s time for a change of guard''.

 Chapter 504 A Change Of Guard

    ?


    A few days prior¡­


    Core Protector Daemon stood before the Army Commander.


    With his back facing him and both his hands behind his back, Legs broke the news of his decision to him as Daemon felt conflicted.


    He knelt on one knee. "Army Commander, please don''t leave me behind".


    "I am one of the only few people who knew what you did to change the fate of Darvis, you singlehandedly saved us from the jaws of death".


    "From that day that you saved me from the Demon, I vowed on my life to follow you till the ends of time".


    "Only death can separate me from you". He bowed his head.


    "Please let me serve at your side, I will give my life for yours".


    "Do not worry about my strength, I will train, I still believe in my potential as a Necromancer, I believe I can be even more powerful than this".


    He looked up at Legs. "Army Commander, please make me the weapon that will be at your side to help eliminate all your enemies".


    "I pledge my life to you".


    "¡­" Legs was silent for a few seconds.


    When he finally turned around, the look in his eyes told Daemon the answer, this Necromancer felt sad.


    Legs sighed before he spoke. "Did you tell anyone about the Underworld?"


    "No".


    "Good, keep it that way, the less people who know the better". Holding Daemon''s shoulders, he raised him up. "You really don''t know how much importance I hold you with after surviving death together, do you?"


    "Among all mypanions, you''re the only one that I fought death with".


    "Together, we fought our way from the jaws of death".


    "You''re one of the few warriors who I truly trust now".


    Legs sighed. "This is why I want you to stay".


    He turned and looked outside through the window. "When I''m gone, I don''t know how much Darvis and Austere will change".


    "That is why I need an eye here, and that eye is you".


    "I will make you the Vice President".


    "Watch boths on my behalf". Legs suddenly smiled. "Another thing, I want to make you my supervisor in another treasure of mine".


    He looked at Daemon.  Titania, the home of the Bug Emperor".


    Daemon''s eyes widened; he went back on his knees.


    Legs kept his gaze on him. "You''re the only one I can trust with this, my adopted son and my students will all be following me into the gctic society".


    On his knees, Daemon finally gave his consent. "If this is your will, I will give my very best to do my job and make you satisfied".


    "Thanks Daemon, really". Legs patted him.


    ¡­


    Today was another significant day in the history of Darvis.


    Post the Cataclysm, a working government was finally about to be reinstated in Darvis and like usual, the Army Commander led the proceedings.


    In the already renovated Presidential Vi, tens of thousands of citizens in Darvis were gathered as Legs took the stage.


    After teleporting here, on his suit, he climbed the stage.


    "Fellow citizens of Darvis". Legs'' voice was sharp and crisp. "A new era beckons on us, the post-Cataclysm era".


    "For the to move forward, there needs to be a change of guard".<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "President Shanks was a man who served our with integrity. During his reign, the developed, we were able to start andplete most of our preparations that let us win the war all due to him".


    "Through him, we tasted the importance of a good government".


    "After his death, we intend to continue the government whose foundation was built by him". Legs looked to a corner of the Vi where esteemed guests were seated. "Today, we swear-in his Vice to seed his government".


    "Today, let''s wee our first female President".


    Amid excited cheers from the citizens standing below, Lydia climbed the podium with a smile on her face.


    After waving at the audience to appreciate their cheers, with a smile constant on her face, she raised her right hand to say the words.


    "I, Lydia Jones do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of Darvis, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend thews and Constitution of Darvis".


    "I swear to always defend the sovereignty of Darvis".


    "I swear to uphold the terms of our alliance with Austere".


    "So, help me God".


    "¡­"


    Silence dominated for a few seconds as the audience below savored the emotion of this moment, they suddenly felt like the skies were brighter.


    To some of them, this was an indication of a new era of prosperity already.


    They exploded in cheers and apuse shortly after.


    "President Lydia!"


    "President Lydia!"


    "President Lydia!" They chanted her name to celebrate the moment.


    After the new President finally left the stadium, a familiar face climbed up the stadium next as with a smile, Legs weed him before encouraging him to face the audience and say the words.


    Daemon felt a bit anxious, he felt that life was a crazy rollercoaster.


    Hearing the cheers as they apuded him, he felt surreal. ''Just a few years ago, I was a viin, Norman''s henchman who was hated by so many people''.


    ''Fast forward a few years now, and I am about to be the Vice President of the, life is so random''. He felt emotional.


    Raising his right hand, he said the words.


    "I, Daemon Dominic, do swear in the name of God and all Supers that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of Darvis as byw established and that I will discharge the duty upon which I am about to enter".


    The cheers exploded again, this was a fitting reward for a warrior who gave his all, including his life during the Cataclysm.


    When Legs took the stage again, 3 Supers followed him. "With the change of government, today, I will also oversee the change of High Officials".


    "Alongside me and High Official Newton, today, with the power vested on me by the government, I ordain George, Enoch, and Gorgon as the new High Officials of Darvis".


    Yes, Newton survived, again. The old man was a survivor.


    George, Enoch, and Gorgon also survived after their heroics in the Cataclysm.


    Today, they were finally rewarded for their efforts. The cheers from the audience increased a crescendo to wee their new leaders into power.


    Apart from today being the swearing-in ceremony of all these new leaders, today was also the day that the Army Commander officially bid farewell to Darvis, it was an emotional day.


    After the swearing-in, as the tens of thousands of citizens watched, the warships of the Nak Navy and the Legs Baron rose up.


    The Legs Baron was Legs'' gift from the on his journey into space.


    Biding his farewell to the citizens of the onest time, Legs teleported into the Heavy Cruiser where all his crew that he intended to take into space with him were already gathered.


    Christensen looked at him once he arrived. "The warship is ready to move".


    "Then move". Legs found a chair to sit on.


    As the Heavy Cruiser ascended out of the, he looked at the tens of thousands of citizens waving at him. ''I wonder when I''ll evere back''.

 Chapter 505 Back In The Gray World

    ?


    Seated cross-legged in the middle of his cabin in the Legs Baron, Legs hesitated as he looked at the apple tattoo on his wrist.


    ''It''s been just a little more than a month but it feels like forever since I''ve been there''. He sighed before tapping the tattoo.


    Bzzz!


    Legs''s body disappeared out of the warship.


    As soon as Legs arrived in the gray world, he felt back in the familiar confines of this Special Developer Package as instantly, all the stress on his body and his still pent-up emotions rxed instantly.


    He yawned. "I''m missed here man; it truly feels like forever".


    On arriving, a familiar face was waiting for him.


    Aaron stood before him with his hands folded. "Wee back, I thought you forgot about me and the gray world for a moment".


    Legs chuckled as he looked at this old Elementalist.


    "My man!" He hailed him. "Don''t be like this, you know me more than everyone else, heck you literally live inside one of my greatest secrets".


    With a poker look on his face, Aaron kept his hands folded. "I''m so disappointed, I thought you really forgot about the gray world, I''ve been thinking of ying the Hermit for some time".


    Legs'' eyes widened. "Really?"


    "Yeah".


    "Then do it".


    "Huh?"


    "Do it!" Legsughed. "You have no idea how draining ying as the Hermit was at the beginning, I''ll be d if you can y it on my behalf, I''m serious".


    "¡­"


    Aaron silently looked at this Summoner.


    "You''re really one weird son of a b*tch, you''re serious?"


    "Yeah".


    "No". Aaron waved his hands with resolution. "Forget it, it''s a drag".


    Legsughed. "So, how has life been in the gray world?"


    "Forget that". Aaron stared at him. "I''ve lived centuries before almost dying in the war that led to me being trapped here, but in all my years, I can still say that what you went through ranks at the very top of my most thrilling encounters".


    "I can''t believe you survived being sucked by the Underworld".


    "My gosh! You''re a true survivor. At this point, I don''t know if it''s in luck or you''re just that good".


    "I''m just that good". Legsughed.


    Aaron ignored his shamelessness as he continued. "The Demon Lord is widely regarded as one of the most notorious Beyond Grade A''s in the Universe, and his Universal Treasure is even more notorious".


    "Getting caught by it and surviving is a tale you can tell for a lifetime".


    Aaron materialized chairs for both of them. "Tell me, how did you recover your memories and how did you feel when you understood your situation?"


    Legs did not answer that, he instead caught onto something. "You were aware when I died and was trapped in the Underworld?"


    "Yes, why?"


    "¡­"


    Legs froze as numerous thoughts went through his brain, he stared intensely at Aaron as he rushed closer and grabbed his shoulders and shoved him for answers. "What happened to the gray world after I died?"


    Aaron looked at him with resignation that said this human''s 5-minute madness already started. "Nothing happened, it remained the same".


    "Huh?" Legs was surprised. ''Does that mean it''s really not bound to me and that another person can inherit the gray world if I die?''


    ''Damn, that''s reasonable but disappointing''.


    He stared at Aaron again. "Tell me, when I died, you said you witnessed it all, did you have the ability to interfere to save me?"


    "Ahh¡­" Aaron pped his head like he just remembered something.


    His face turned serious as he looked at Legs. "I was indeed able to observe you like usual even in death, but unlike normal, I could not interfere".


    "This drove me to a conclusion". His eyes narrowed. "The Underworld was able to partially negate the powers of the gray world which says one thing".


    He looked at Legs who already arrived at the same conclusion.


    "The gray world is a Universal Treasure!" Legs blurted out.


    "Yes". Aaron nodded. "But not just that, I think it is a higher-quality Universal Treasure or it''s powers would have beenpletely negated by the Underworld".


    "¡­!"


    Legs was shocked. "Are you saying that I had a Universal Treasure that is stronger than the Underworld all along?"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Aaron shrugged.


    ''¡­!''


    Legs did not speak; all the bombs went off in his mind.


    When he finally calmed down, he looked at Aaron again. "The gray world!"


    "After every breakthrough, I was able to see more of it and unlock more of its powers. I have not explored it since I became a Grade B Summoner".


    Aaron nodded. "I would have reminded you of that, and yes, you''re right, more of the gray world has opened up".


    Excitement filled Legs'' body as he could not wait to see more.


    Before going deeper into the gray world though, he paid attention to the first and most obvious difference in the mist-filled chamber where he held his gray world gathering, there was another gray mist ball now pulsing.


    ''Another spot for a new member''. He was excited.


    Not paying too much attention to the gray ball for now, with Aaron leading the way, he walked deeper into the gray world.


    This time, the path was much clearer to him, the thickness of the mist already reduced even furtherpared to when he was a Grade C Super.


    Now, he could tell that he was walking through the long corridor of a Spaceship. He could see the faint silhouettes of doors at both sides of the corridor as he walked but the gray mist blocked them, he could not ess them.


    Only the door at the end of this corridor was essible to him.


    Once Legs was close, he opened the door without hesitation.


    Again, Legs arrived in the familiar room, his eyes widened. "It really is a Spaceship cabin".


    Unlike the previous time, the room was now fully essible to him, there were no remnants of gray mist filling the room this time.


    Nothing new appeared in the room though, apart from the bed, the chairs, and the nutrient pack box that was at the corner, the room was still in.


    The table remained intact, including the letter that he read long ago.


    The only difference was the 5 virtual screens connected to Super Computers that hovered before one of the chairs in this room. The difference was that, unlike before, one of the virtual screens was now activated.


    Like he expected, the letter was written in English Language.


    ''No wonder Aaron was unable to get any information to tell me''.


    ''Maximus is really cautious''.


    Taking a step closer even as the excitement started bubbling in him, he finally raised his hand to operate the virtual screen.


    [BEEP!]


    [Human activity detected, rebooting¡­, please wait¡­]


    5 secondster, the virtual screen lit up with white light.


    [Congrattions! You''re finally a Grade B Super, you''re closer to the truth, we really need the assistance of another Earthling!]


    Legs caught onto that, he paid more attention and like he expected, the next parts of this letter confirmed his thoughts.


    [You didn''t read wrong buddy, yes, I finally met the 1st Reincarnator!]


    [I''m so excited man, his name is George, he said he was part of the technical unit that was responsible for regting the graphics quality.]


    [And can you believe it, he actually reincarnated as a Fox!]


    [Man, I couldn''t hold myself, Iughed my ass out when he told me. He wasn''t offended though, he was cool. After spending centuries in Dominator, he already became like all those silent and wise old monsters, it''s scary man.]


    [Another thing, he is a Grade S Super already, I feel so much safer.]


    [He answered most of the questions that I had all along, I''m sorry, I can''t share them here for obvious security reasons.]


    [The truth is far from anything I ever expected.]


    [I don''t want to derail your journey yet with the truth, I believe in you brother, be stronger and unlock the full potential of the Star Radler.]


    [I didn''t name it lol, he did.]


    [When you finally enter space, look for Old Man Gu''s Hut.]


    [Goodluck brother, I can''t wait to see you.]


    After reading the virtual letter, Legs sat on the chair as he rxed and let all his troubles float away from his mind like the wind.


    He took a deep breath, he felt refreshed. "I will meet you someday".

 Chapter 506 The Gray World Gathering

    ?


    "You look content". Aaron probed.


    "Yeah". Legs nodded as with a rxed smile on his face, he turned to face the Elementalist. "By any means, do you know someone called Old Man Gu?"


    "¡­"


    Aaron looked at him for a few seconds before shaking his head.


    Legs stood up from his chair. "My destiny is likely tied to this old man, when I enter the gctic society, I need to look for him".


    Aaron looked at Legs without saying a word.


    Of course, he was curious to know what the letter said but he did not probe. In his rtionship with Legs, he knew the limit of his boundaries. If Legs wanted to tell him, he won''t have to ask first.


    Years ago when he was killed, he thought his story was over only to be surprised as he woke up to see himself trapped inside the gray world.


    When Legs finally arrived, he felt relieved. ''At least, this is not hell''.


    His first intention immediately was to attack the human, devour him to see if he could recover some of his powers, he never expected Legs to be the master of the gray world though as he suffered the greatest humiliation of his life.


    The circumstances in which he met Legs in the gray world was embarrassing, but over the years, their rtionship improved.


    This was possible because of a decision he took that day.


    In this reality, perhaps apart from the other reincarnator that Legs was looking for, Aaron was the only existence who knew that he reincarnated.


    And with him also knowing about how Legs fought and escaped death, he was the only existence to know 2 of Legs'' greatest secrets.


    Despite his knowledge though, he was helpless. Through the powers of the gray world, Legs had a firm grip over him.


    This unusual and unlikely rtionship between them was what enabled their trust to blossom with time.


    Now, Aaron just wanted to know more about Legs. ''With him, I havee to know that concepts like reincarnation is real and I have seen it''.


    ''Clearly, from everything that happened after his appearance in Darvis, he is clearly someone with a huge destiny that attracts exciting events''.


    ''I feel like staying with him would let me discover many things¡­, much things than I ever got to discover in my previous life at my peak''.


    ''Besides, it''s not like I really have a choice''.


    Aaron followed as Legs led the way back to the chamber of this Special Spaceship where Legs usually held the gray world gathering.


    There, Legs focused on the new pulsing gray ball.


    He didn''t do it immediately. ''Compared to when I just started, the gray world gathering is now big with many members''.


    ''I don''t really have a concrete use for another member now''.


    ''I think I should wait. Perhaps, in the future, when the need arises for a specific help or type of member, I can do it then''.


    ''I can keep it as another trump card of mine''.


    With that, Legs no longer hesitated, it was already time for the gray world gathering and it was time to embody the persona of the Hermit again.

    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit".


    Legs looked towards her direction, it had been a long time since he heard the cheerful voice of the Star, his mood was uplifted instantly.


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit".


    "Good morning, your Excellency the Hermit".


    "Good morning¡­"


    The greetings kept pouring in.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Compared to the beginning when it was just Altan and Sophia, the gray world gathering was now diverse. With members of all backgrounds like John, Heimdall, and Edgar, it now really felt like a gctic gathering.


    Looking at the Hermit who acknowledged their greetings with just a nod of the head, despite the nagging feeling that this powerful existence now felt even stronger, she ignored it in a bid to share how she felt.


    "We won the war". She celebrated the gray world gathering.


    With the exploits that were shone by Legs during the Cataclysm who they all saw as the Hermit''s representative and his position in the, including their own contributions, they felt like the Cataclysm was a war of the gray world gathering as much as it was a war of Darvis.


    The others reacted to the Star as they expressed their emotions on the first real gctic engagement and victory of the gray world gathering, after which they all returned the gratitude to the Hermit who made it all possible.


    Once they were done with their celebrations, the Hermit kickstarted the gathering this time.


    "Let the gathering begin".


    Hearing this voice that reverberated like the deep booming activities of an erupting volcano, they went silent as different thoughts went through their minds.


    ''So much power¡­!''


    ''His Excellency became stronger again!''


    ''Is our actions somehow rted to how fast he recover his powers?''


    ''Afterall, after almost every major war rted to members of the gray world gathering, wee out alive and hees out stronger''.


    ''His voice is now so powerful and suffocating''.


    The more she thought, the more excited Sophia felt. ''It is a privilege to take part in the recovery of an existence of the Hermit''s level''.


    With that, the gathering finally started.


    Having all taken part in the Cataclysm that drained them so much, there was not much external news that the members of the gathering had to share.


    The information sharing phase of the gatheringsted a short time today.


    Once they finished sharing their information, the next phase of the gathering, the transaction phase of the gathering finally started.


    Having fought against the mighty army of the Bug Emperor, they all came out with incredible loots, now they battered and sold this loot among themselves.


    "I want that special metal fragment from the Unique Space Bug, my friend needs it". John indicated as heid out his own goods. "In exchange for the fragment, I can give you a custom-madebat armor".


    "Deal". Sophia epted.


    "I have a special blood organ from one of the Special Space Bugs that transforms blood into psychic powers". Altan finallyid out his goods.


    "I want it". Edgar chimed in instantly.


    As the batter and trade went on between his members, Legs simply watched from his throne as the Hermit. ''Feels more like a real gctic gathering now''. He felt proud. ''They were right, fake it till you make it''.


    ''At first, it was ame imitation idea from something I learned from my previous world but now it has substance, it now has Grade B Supers''.


    ''Damn, in just a few years, I''ve reallye a long way''.


    The transaction phase of the gathering took even longer than any of the previous gatherings. When it was finally done, the next phasemenced.


    The Hermit finally addressed the whole gathering.


    All of them paid attention like obedient pupils in the ss of a strict teacher as his voice boomed round this enclosure with authority and power.


    "Congrattions on defeating the Bug". It was a simplepliment but they all felt goosebumps, they paid attention.


    "It shows how much the gathering has grown".


    "Congrattions to the World and the 3 others who became Grade B Supers, your growth increases the influence and reach of the gray world gathering".


    For a long time, the Hermit had been that all powerful being that only said few words in the midst of weaklings like the members of the gathering.


    Not this time though. For the first time since the gray world gathering started, the Hermitplimented them for their achievements and growth.


    And it didn''t affect his persona though. The sheer aura of indomitability and power radiating from his voice gave them goosebumps, validating him as still the all-powerful Hermit who ruled above the gray world.


    Hispliments made their respect for him rise even more.


    By the time that he was done, they all felt emotionally high and motivated, this was when the Hermit concluded the gathering with a bang.


    "I have a new mission for all members of the gathering".


    They all listened like they were receiving verdicts from their god.


    "Find any information on Old Man Gu''s Hut".

 Chapter 507 Warp Travel

    ?


    Bzzz!


    As soon as all the members of the gray world gathering were teleported back, Legs took a deep breath as he dropped the persona of the Hermit.


    Legs turned to look at Aaron. "Thank you".


    The old Elementalist''s had a poker look on. "For what?"


    "Stop it for once old man". Legs chuckled. "I know you don''t really have a chance against me which yed a big role, but still, thanks for your cooperation throughout the years".


    "If you remained stubborn like before, snapping at me every time that I came here, I would have never been calm and calcting enough to face the Bug Emperor".


    "Besides, thank you for your mana when I needed it the most".


    "Don''t mention". Aaron waved his hand.


    "You seem to be blushing". Legsughed as he stood up from the throne of the Hermit before walking towards the old man.


    "Well, I always help my friends". He patted Aaron on the shoulder. "Pray that everything goes ording to my ns, if it does, in a few weeks, you will finally have what you need to return to reality".


    "¡­!"


    Aaron''s pretentious cool was finally broken, this Elementalist''s breath shook as he looked at Legs. "You''d really do it?"


    "Yes, we''re friends already, I can''t keep you caged here forever". Legs chuckled. "Once I get to Nak State, I''ll ask this only favor from Champion Onana to beg his master for a custom-made mechanical vessel".


    "It shouldn''t take anything from a capable Grade A Mechanic of his caliber".


    Aaron''s face changed; emotion showed in the eyes of this old monster Elementalist for the first time in a long time. "Thanks".


    Legs smirked before pressing his shoulder des. "Don''t mention".


    Aaron red at him.


    ¡­


    The journey to Titania was estimated to take 5 days.


    In his previous life as a yer, due to the game settings, he could simply leave his virtual avatar online to ride through the boring space travel while doing something else but in this reality, he didn''t have that luxury.


    Legs rode and truly experienced warp travel for the first time.


    Apart from training inside thebat training chamber of the Legs Baron, Legs spent the rest part of his time either socializing with his students and his son, or simply caressing the body of the warship with his Summoner energy.


    This was a hobby that he developed due to boredom.


    When doing this, with his Summoner energy maniption, he was able to barely feel outside the warship as it traveled through warped space.


    Traveling through the upper dimensions was a once in a lifetime experience the first time.


    Through his energy, he could literally feel the space across long distances being folded before the warship, enabling it to transverse great distances in mere seconds as it warped across the higher dimensions at incredible speed.


    Legs sighed. ''Technology is a form of magic in itself''.


    ''I wonder how esteemed individuals like Einstein would react to a vivid experience like this?'' He chuckled. ''He''ll probably go crazy in excitement''.


    ''Or, he''ll just be a sigma and y the cool part''. Any of the 2 scenarios that he thought of brought a smile to his face.


    It was already the 4th day of their travel.


    Today, there was a knock in the door that led to hisbat chamber.


    During the short time when the warships descended out of the higher dimensions to recharge their FTL drives, Champion Onana made his way to the Legs Baron, and now he finally met Legs.


    "Come in".


    "You''re training hard". Champion Onanamented as he entered inside.


    "Yeah". Legs nodded even as he continued his training.


    -----


    You have made use of Character Summon Card: Onana- Talent of a Champion!


    ----


    With this simple character summon card, Legs'' training efficiency improved exponentially as he enjoyed a privilege that only Champion Onana enjoyed. This Mechanic felt weird as he noticed something simr in him.


    He didn''t react though. Without saying another word, he brought out a Laser Pistol from his inventory as he went to the shooting range to practice his uracy.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    5 minutes of thister, Legs finally stopped to catch his breath, he looked at the Nak Champion. "You''re not someone to visit without a reason, is there something wrong?"


    It was only a few secondster that Champion Onana answered.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    He raised his right hand at Legs as the next moment a ck wrist-pad materialized on it. "This is a special technological device that the Nak State uses to track the status of every single one of its citizens".


    "We call it the life wrist-pad".


    "With this, we don''t need a census, we always have a good grasp of the members of our race that are still alive every single day".


    He turned to look at Endrick. "As you can see, it''s not working anymore".


    "A few weeks ago, just after we defeated the Bug Emperor, I was shocked on checking it, it indicated that I died while fighting the Cmity Grade Bug".


    Legs silently looked at him.


    "At first, I thought it was a rare glitch but it has been persisting for weeks".


    Champion Onana looked at his hand. "That was when the question came to me, is there something about the war that I am missing?"


    "Did something happen that no one could exin?"


    "At first, I thought I was overthinking so I secretly checked the life wrist-pads of all the Nak survivors of the war".


    "Guess what?" He looked straight at Legs. "They are all glitching too".


    Champion Onana went straight to the point. "That is why I came".


    "After thinking for weeks, I concluded that if anyone is to have an exnation to this strange phenomenon, it''s you".


    "Why do you think so?" Legs finally asked.


    "Because you''re strange, unique, I don''t know how to exin it". Onana scratched his head. "Since I knew you, I have witnessed miracle after miracle, ridiculous odds being scraped that I don''t know what to believe anymore".


    "That''s why all my leads for an answer led to you".


    Legs kept quiet for a few seconds as a lot of thoughts went through his mind. ''Damn, I never expected an aftereffect like this''.


    ''I can''t hide the truth from him''. He came to this conclusion after making multiple considerations, including Onana''s master.


    If he could fool Onana, there''s no way he was fooling a Cmity Grade.


    "What is their reaction to the glitch?" Legs asked.


    "My other Nak warriors?"


    "Yes".


    "They think it''s a problem from headquarters, once they get back, they intend to submit their wrist-pads so the problem can be rectified".


    "Destroy all the life wrist-pads".


    "What?" Champion Onana was shocked as he looked at Legs.


    Legs had a calm look on his face. "Can you activate that device? That one that creates jumbled signals that can interfere with any technological device".


    Nodding, Champion Onana activated a short EMP st and a jamming device that isted thisbat training chamber from any technology that could listen to their conversation, Legs looked at him.


    "The victory against the Bug Emperor is not as straightforward as everyone thinks, the truth is much more crazy, much more bloody".


    Legs no longer held back; he told Champion Onana everything.


    By the time that he was done, this Grade B Mechanic was having a mental breakdown, he looked down at his hands. "I can''t believe it, I actually died once?" He felt slightly horrified.


    "What does it feel to die?"


    "Is it painful? Is it nothingness? I remember nothing from then".


    Legs smiled. "That does not matter now, what matters is wiping off every evidence that can reveal the truth".


    "I don''t know what fill follow if the truth bes widely known but I''d like to avoid that scenario ahead of time".


    "I want you to destroy all the life wrist-pads".


    "Give the reason that the strange mechanic powers of the Bug Emperor messed with their circuitry, making them unable to be fixed".


    "When you return to Nak Space, give the same excuse and request for new wrist-pad for all the survivors".


    Legs looked at him. "You''re a Nak Champion, I believe that you can get away with this. You can make this happen, right?"


    Champion Onana nodded. "I''m also in favor of keeping this secret".


    He finally left thebat training chamber. When the warships came out of warp travel again, he finally returned to the Golden Cicada.


    The journey was without interruptions, a dayter, they arrived.

 Chapter 508 Planet Titania- A Mechanics Heaven!

    ?


    The Roronoa Star System was a giant void of floating debris.


    Legs had heard this numerous times from Champion Onana, he confirmed it during the 5 days of travel and at the end of it, he finally arrived before the singlergest object floating in the space called this star system.


    Bzzz!


    As soon as they descended from warp travel, the warship reacted.


    Wom! Wom!


    [Warning! Vtile energies detected!]


    [Warning! Gravity exceeding ship limits detected!]


    [Warning! Ultra-radioactive energy detected!]


    [Warning! Ship has been pulled into a gravity well!]


    Bzzz!


    The Legs Baron was immediately pulled out of control towards the center of the gravity well as Titania flexed the sheer power of its gravity.


    Due to the spinning warship, Legs could noty eyes on the yet but he was amazed. ''It is exactly like Champion Onana warned!''


    ''Such powerful gravity and radio-active energy!''


    ''Thankfully, we heed his words to upgrade the hull of the Heavy Cruiser and to install enough gravity stabilizers and shield generators''.


    Without hesitation, he gave orders to his crew.


    "Activate the gravity stabilizers!"


    "Activate all theyered energy shield generators!"


    HUM!


    The Legs Baron, E''s greatest creation as a Technician Mechanic stood up to the test of this gravity storm when its integrity was called upon.


    Humming with power, the stabilizers activated by the warship fought against the overpowering gravity being unleashed by this even as the multiple shield generators protected the hull from the concentrated radiation emitting from it.


    The effects were instant, the uncontroble spin of the warship slowed down before gradually slowing to a total stop.


    Having regained back control over the warship, they were finally able to focus on the absolutely gigantic that hovered before them.


    Like Champion Onana described, Titania was a true hegemon in space.


    ''Damn! 20 Earths won''t even fit into this monster!''


    ''It''s like a mini Jupiter''.


    Thinking of the absolutely hegemonic from his previous life that could fit in 1,300 Earths, Legs felt goosebumps as a thought crossed his mind. ''What if there is a like Jupiter in Dominator and it supports life?''


    ''Damn, my colleagues are definitely crazy enough to create something like this, I need to be on guard against anything like this''.


    Removing the distractions from his mind, he focused back on what was before him, Titania.


    He finally paid attention to the extreme radiation forming distinctyers around the gigantic that Onana already told him about.


    He was fascinated and amazed. ''What an immense construction of radioactivity!''


    Once all the warships stabilized, they did not go in immediately, they instead roamed around the probingly.


    After suffering the consequences of barging into this the first time, Champion Onana was now extra cautious. Despite killing the Bug Emperor already, he was still cautious to make absolutely certain that the coast was clear.


    The deep scanners of the warships worked overtime to prate this gigantic with Onana''s Frigate taking the lead.


    After dozens of minutes of doing this and discovering no threat, in a formation already predetermined, the warships finally entered the''s atmosphere as they were engulfed by its radiation energy.


    Once they prated the dense cloud of radiation though, the true inner of Titania finally presented itself before Legs.


    Everywhere he looked, he saw only gray and ck.


    "A true metal!" Legs was amazed by the sight.


    It was a stunning sight, everywhere across this was t, there was no green vegetation, no ocean, no craters, just metal everywhere.


    The offshoots in the were no green nts either, they were strange metal nts that were somehow able to grow in this.


    ''Damn!'' Legs felt envious. ''And Champion Onana said these are just the surface metal, deep inside this has even more valuable metals''.


    Legs sighed, he had only one conclusion for what he was seeing.  Titania is a Mechanic''s heaven''.


    This time, all the warships were finally able to dock without any dangerous tail suddenlyshing out to destroy the life out of them.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Coming out of the Golden Cicada, on finally setting foot on this, Champion Onana changed, he felt possessed.


    His eyes changed, they were excited, they were maniacal.


    In the end, it seems everybody had their manic side.


    "Hahahaha¡­!"


    "Hahaha¡­!" He was like a man possessed.


    "So much metal¡­!"


    "So much metal I can never run dry even after centuries¡­!"


    Champion Onana copsed on his knees. "It was all worth it!"


    "The pain, the sleepless nights, the training, the worry, the stress, everything, it was worth it to take on the Bug Emperor!"


    "It was f*cking worth it!" He was going crazy in excitement.


    He felt emotional. "Hardwork and determination pays afterall".


    Once he was finally able to calm down, activities started instantly in this. A metal, especially one thisrge was not something that Onana had any hopes of truly upying anything soon but he had to start from somewhere.


    Having prepared ahead of time, he led his crew of mechanics who started implementing his ns by first building arge mechanic workshop in this.


    From there, everything else went smoothly.


    In a few days, a massive mining base was built. On the 5th day since their arrival, led by Champion Onana, the first mining vessels finally dug into the metal as they started mining activities officially.

    Hearing the notifications constantly beeping from the mining machines, Champion Onana felt that Legs'' analogy was right, he felt like he was in heaven.


    Every sound from the machines gave him great pleasure and ecstasy.


    Every new metal detected felt like a shot of adrenaline in his blood.


    By the end of the 2nd day since they started mining, they already mined enough metal to build 2 Heavy Cruisers while at the same time, getting more than enough high quality metal for anotherprehensive upgrade of Berserker.


    Champion Onana was excited, he hated a certain set of people more. "Whoever says hardwork doesn''t pay is not just foolish, they are my enemies!"

    "Hehehe¡­"


    "Hehe¡­, this is heaven!"


    Like an excited kid who just got his Christmas gift from his parents in the form of his favorite action figure toy, Champion Onana locked himself away from the world as soon as he discovered the Magic Girdin.


    Officially, he started the 3rd upgrade of his mechanic suit since arriving in the Roronoa Star System, this was more times than he had ever upgraded mechanic suits in his life since he became a Super.


    Having spent all his savings in mechanic assets to build the mechanic workshop, his new base in Titania, it had state of the art machines.


    This workshop was better than anything that they were able to work with during their preparations for the Cataclysm in Darvis.


    This showed that then, even when so close to death, Champion Onana still bravely kept cards like this close to his heart. The only reason why he brought these cards now was because he was finally fulfilling his lifelong dream.


    This was his passion.


    ''I finally did it!''


    ''A whole metal of my own, it is the opportunity that I have been looking for at home since I became a Mechanic...''


    ''I never expected to get this opportunity after leaving home''.


    He felt likeughing like a mad man. ''Then, I was not happy at being sent here, I even called it a backwater region not worth my attention''.


    ''In the end, it was the region that I underestimated and looked down on thatter became the chief cornerstone that changed my life''.


    He chuckled and sped his hands together. ''Gods of fate and destiny, I''m sorry for ever ridiculing your designs, I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me''.


    ''I now believe in fate''.


    ''Meeting Legs was fate''.


    After a whole day and half of incredible mech designing work, apanied by the reliable Technician Mechanic and the Virtual Mechanic, E and John, the new design of his favorite mechanic suit, Berserker was finally ready.


    E and John already did their part, now it was his part.


    He looked at both Mechanics with emotion in his eyes. "Thank you, I will never forget the help that the both of you had given me over time".


    They smiled at him before leaving him alone in the mechanic workshop.


    Looking at the design temte that hovered on the virtual screen, Champion Onana felt hyped as he cracked his knuckles.


    He took a deep breath. ''I hope I''m now closer to Delzebub''.


    He finally got his hands dirty with grease as he started work on his mech suit.


    ¡­


    E and John walked outside the gigantic mechanic workshop to catch a breath of air after they finally finished their work on Onana''s mech suit.


    At this moment, a giant veil covered the base where they worked on, a special energy veil that isted the radiation being emitted by the outside while diffusing breathable air into the atmosphere inside the veil.


    As they walked, John intertwined his hands with E''s.


    John inclined his head to look at her. "What do you think? I think Berserker will be even stronger after this upgrade".


    E looked at him, sheughed. "That''s only natural".


    She swung their intertwined hands back and forth. "You know, I feel proud really as Berserker is growing, I was not part of it''s construction in the beginning but with each subsequent upgrade, I feel strange".


    "Especially now that the A.I is morphing into a sentient A.I existence, it''s a weird feeling like I''m watching my child grow".


    She looked at John. "It sounds weird right?"


    "No, that''s perfectly normal". Johnughed. "Actually, I feel something simr, I modified the A.I which gave it the capability to grow".


    "Besides, it''s not just this mechanic suit". John''s face showed a tone of nostalgia. "During my pirate days, tweaking the A.I of multiple warships and watching them go full pirate mode, achieving different feats, I felt the same".


    Both kept quiet as they just strolled, enjoying the atmosphere.


    After a few minutes, E looked at him again. "So, what''s your n after here?"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Huh?" John was surprised as he looked at her. "Is there another n? Of course, we''ll be leaving with Legs, I also want to experience life in the gctic society outside the Konots you know?" Heughed.


    E was silent for a few seconds. "Will you go pirate again?"


    He rubbed his nose awkwardly. "You know me too much. It''s not certain but if Legs does not do something that will give me enough excitement to stimte my growth, I''ll have to cut off and go rogue again, probably as a pirate".


    E sighed. "I''m staying".


    "¡­"


    John stopped walking, forcing her to stop as she turned to look at him.


    Seeing the look on his face, she felt a bit guilty, she went closer. "You know, John, I also have a career that I am passionate about and I want to have sess at. I''m not like you, I don''t want to be a pirate".


    "I''m a Technician Mechanic". She stressed it for emphasis, then she looked around. "Look, all my life, despite being the daughter of such a rich Mechanic, I was shackled, I never had ess to a metal or even so much metal".


    Titania is literally my dream". She sighed.


    "The past few days, I''ve been thinking a lot and I came to my conclusion". She looked into his eyes. "I can''t follow you, I''ll be staying here".


    "I believe staying in Titania is the best option for my growth".


    "¡­" John was silent for a long time.


    "I understand". His reply was concise but it made her feel even more guilty.


    John turned and was about to leave but her grip became stronger, holding him back. E went closer the next moment before leaning closer to his lips.


    John had his first kiss with the woman he had loved all his life.

    "Congrattions!" Legs came to congratte him.


    That day, there was celebrations in Titania.

    Seated cross-legged in his cabin in the Legs Baron, Legs sipped on a ss of enhanced alcohol that was powerful enough to floor Grade E Supers.


    Actively using his Summoner Energy to lower his resistance, he was able to slightly feel the intoxicating effects of the alcohol, he felt satisfied.


    With another gulp, he paid attention to his game interface.


    The Cataclysm, the war in Austere, these were all great storylines and missions that at the end gave Legs a lot of experience points and benefits but from the very beginning, they were not his target.


    All along, his target had been the yers in his army.


    After granting them thrilling Main Storyline missions from 2 entirely differents, his ultimate job was fulfilled then as he was able to finally fatten them enough. Now, it was time for his harvest and it was evident.


    He felt on top of the world. ''It''s time to milk the fields dry man!''


    The notifications kept on popping with increasing regrity, he had a wide grin on his face. "Hehe¡­, is it that time of the season".


    "What time of the season?"


    "Huh?" Surprised, Legs turned his head to look at the intruder.


    Uranus directed a weird nce at his father. "Dad¡­, are you drunk?"


    Legsughed and waved his hand. "How could I?"


    Uranus shook his head before turning to leave. "Uncle Christensen told me to inform you that we''ll be entering the higher dimensions soon, he said Champion Onana advises to belt up".


    He briefly turned his head to look at his dad again. "The jump through an ultra-long range teleportation portal is not like the normal one".


    "Tell him I''ll do that". Legs waved at him.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Uranus left.

    8:00pm, normal Earth time¡­


    "Hello everyone, wee back to today''s episode of Dominator TV".


    "My name is Kate Catherine and here with me on this special TV show is Dave Simmons, a retired professional gamer who is my partner today".


    "Hi Dave". She waved at him. "How is your day going?"


    "My day is going in an awesome direction so far Kate, I hope yours is the same, but¡­" He paused as he looked around like ghosts were hiding and watching him from the dark. "I don''t think we should do this today".


    "If we do our normal boring talk, our viewers will chew us alive". He sighed. "They''re all excited and hyped, let''s give them what they want".


    "I concur". Kate agreed hastily as she joined the y, acting like she could already see their viewers crawling through the wall towards them.


    Both presentersughed at their act as they finally got serious.


    "After months of development and spection, it is finally confirmed, sending the whole Dominatormunity into a frenzy".


    "Dominator finally confirmed the official main Version International tournament that will be taking ce after the end of each main version".


    "It had been in the process for a long time and now, everything is finalized, including the format of the tournament and all its rules".


    "Like with the National Dominator tournament that took ce about a year ago after the end of Version 1 in Darvis, the format is mostly the same, battles categorized in individual and team categories".


    "The rule of qualification though is a lot more constrained to most teams".


    "Only the team from the National Dominator tournament that took the top 4 spots will be able to qualify which automatically disqualifies a lot of teams".


    "From the individual category, only the top 50 yers fromst year''s tournament are allowed to qualify into the internationals".


    "The main hyping factor today though is the first team battle after the individuals that will be airing today, around 2:00pm".


    "Team Blue Autumn here in China will be taking on Team K-Conquerors from South Korea, the champions of the South Korea National Dominator tournament".


    Kate turned to look at her partner. "Dave, what do you think? I think this battle will be one that may go to be written in the history books".


    "I agree". There was a bright look of excitement on his face. "Despite failing to win the tournament thest time out, we all know that Team Blue Autumn is a pro team ranking at the very top of the Chinese gamemunity".


    "They have all it takes to take on and win against the South Korean champions".


    "The only uncertainty is Horny Assassin".


    Both presentersughed. "Yes, the recent report from Team Blue Autumn''s official page says that Horny Assassin is officially a yer of the pro team".


    "And not just a random yer, he is now in the first 6 yers of the team, he is now the substitute yer of team Blue Autumn".


    "Well, we don''t have to specte much, around 2:00pm today, we''ll get to see first-hand if making Horny Assassin a team member was the right decision or not, we hope it''s the right decision though". Kateughed.


    "Before all that though, in a few minutes, we''ll be weing the first 2 yers to fight in the individual category".


    "Once again, thanks for listening to today''s show, fighting!"


    Worldwide across Dominator fanbases, a frenzy started as the hype of the International Dominator tournament started setting in, it was a tournament of pride to most of the top clubs representing countries.


    While all this happened, somewhere in Titania, warships lined up in the air as they got ready to leave the.


    "It is time". Champion Onana gave the order to leave.


    Having decided on those that will be staying in the ahead of time, everything was set as the warships lifted up the next moment.


    A few minutester, they all floated before the gigantic portal.


    The Golden Cicada where Champion Onana was took the lead, then the other warships followed as they were instantly sucked in by the teleportation portal.


    BZZZZ!


    They were gone.

 Chapter 511 Spatial Storm

    ?


    BZZZZ!


    [Warning! Powerful Spatial energy fluctuation detected!]


    [Ultra-long range teleportation portal detected!]


    [Currently engaging ultra-long-range teleportation¡­, please brace yourself!]


    [Warning! You have been caught in a powerful Spatial Storm!]


    Wom! Wom! Wom!


    [Warning!]


    [Warning!]


    [Warning!]


    The Legs Baron shook and wobbled through the spatial storm.


    Loud sounds reverberated everywhere like the warship was dancing inside the spatial storm. To many of the people and yers present, this was a first as they all braced for impact in various ways.


    Seated at the chair of the captain of the warship, Christensen rapidly directed an inquisitive look at the Nak consultant that Champion Onana assigned here.


    "Is this how normal ultra-long-range teleportation is?"


    "I-I¡­" This engineer also seemed to be shaken and horrified as he stammered.


    ''Sh*t!'' Christensen cursed in his mind.


    Standing up from the chair, he forced his way through all the shaking to the position of the engineer as he grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him awake.


    "Wake up!"


    "This is not the time to be panicking, you''re the chief engineer here, you have the most knowledge about anything that is probably going on".


    "Take a deep breath".


    The engineer nodded rapidly and took a deep breath.


    "Now look at me".


    He looked at Christensen.


    "Tell me, do you know what is happening?"


    Wom! Wom! Wom!


    [Warning! You have been caught in a Spatial Storm!]


    [Warning!]


    [Warning!]


    [Warning!]


    This frightened engineer looked at the warning notifications. Feeling his terror, Christensen patted his shoulders to give him assurance that he was safe, this was what finally gave this engineer the nerve to speak.


    He looked at Christensen. "It''s a spatial storm, I''ve never encountered it before but I''ve read about it and I have heard of it in stories".


    Christensen''s eyes narrowed. "What is a spatial storm?"


    "Warp travel is a technological spatial phenomenon whereby more than 1 space ispressed and folded together, enabling a spaceship with an FTL drive to travel through thepressed space like it was one".


    "A spatial storm urs when the spacepressed at a time is too much, and hence the unstable energies causes a storm of space energy".


    "It is extremely destructive". This engineer''s eyes showed fear.


    "What are our chances?" Christensen looked into his eyes.


    "A-another thing¡­" The engineer stammered. "There are 2 types of spatial storms, the artificial spatial storms and the natural ones".


    "Natural space storms are those that ur naturally".


    "Artificial space storms are induced by sentient activity, mostly by mistake or a malfunction of FTL drive but others are induced for malicious purposes".


    "There are numerous reports of spatial storms every year, 60% of spaceship crews survive 60% of the artificial ones if they are lucky".


    "What of the natural?" Christensen''s eyes narrowed.


    "Unless there''s a Beyond Grade A Super in the spaceship, there is a 100% death rate when caught in a naturally urring spatial storm".


    "There are rumors of it being even capable of killing Beyond Grade As¡­"


    "That does not matter". Christensen cut the engineer off. "Tell me, what we are experiencing, is it a natural one or an artificial one?"


    "¡­" This engineer looked around in fear.


    "If it was a natural one, we''d all be dead already".


    ¡­


    Bam! Bam!


    "Ouch, what the f*ck!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Sleeping cheerfully on his bed in his cabin in the Legs Baron, Legs already ate some light food to freshen up, preparing himself for the entertainment that woulde from the international tournament when it started.


    As soon as the spatial storm started, the cabins were affected even more as the force of the warship''s movement literally threw him back and forth like he was a miserable piece of cloth stuck inside a spinning watching machine.


    Instantly, the effects of the enhanced alcohol left Legs'' eyes.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    ----


    He didn''t even need the engineer''s exnation to know, having engaged in space travel countless times in his previous life and having died to it twice, he knew exactly what this was.


    His eyes narrowed. "A spatial storm!"


    He charged straight towards themand center of the warship.


    ¡­


    50 yers were chosen and carried to space by Legs.


    These 50 yers were some of the strongest yers produced by Darvis. Another thing was, they were the most loyal to the Nightmare Army.


    While this emergency took the Legs Baron by storm, causing panic everywhere, the yers felt none of it, they only felt annoyed.


    "F*ck! What''s this disturbance when the tournament is about to start?"


    "What the heck?!"


    "Lower your sensitivity, it should allow us focus on the tournament".


    Once the suggestion came, every single one of the 50 yers followed it.


    [yer Sensitivity to world has been reduced to 10%]


    [Warning! You will no longer be able to enjoy the game''s realism with this low setting!]


    "Good". The yers were satisfied.


    Since yers were spread across the expansive gxy of Dominator and since they could not meet in one location to challenge in the international tournament, the location for the battles was instead made in a virtual setting.


    While the crew of the Legs Baron feared for their lives, the carefree yers already left them to fend for themselves as they went into the raucous virtual world where the tournament was being held.


    "And the first individual battle starts now!"


    [yer #TheNoselessSorcerer vs Legs1stStudent!]


    The battle between this mage and the Summoner who called himself Legs'' student started instantly and it was fast-paced and bloody.


    "Hell yeah, kill him!"


    "Roast him alive!"


    "Rain those fireballs on him!"


    "Stomp that foolish Voldemort with your tamed beasts'' brother!"


    "Don''t let the Army Commander down, you can do it!"


    Amid the raucous and hyped-up atmosphere, in the end, the Summoner upheld the reputation of the Army Commander, he won.


    4 more exciting individual battles were fought before the most hyped battle of the first stage of the internationals finally started.


    [Team Blue Autumn vs Team K-Conquerors!]


    Raining Sword looked at Horny Assassin again. "Remember that you''re our secret trump card, don''t ever make any move without my instruction".


    "Yes, Sword God Henry".


    "If one of us is killed and you enter the game, always pay attention to our private in-game group chat, you''ll always see my instructions there".


    "Yes, Sword God Henry".


    "Let the battle begin!"


    Once they went on stage, the first team battle began.


    While all these happened, inside the warship where they traveled, there was still a great deal of pandemonium as Christensen and Legs tried to calm the panicking nerves after he arrived.


    They were caught in the spatial storm for 5 agonizing minutes, after which they were finally pushed out of their ultra-long-range teleportation.

 Chapter 512 Space Pirates?

    ?


    [Warning! Course has been altered!]


    BZZZ!


    The Golden Cicada jumped out of the teleportation portal.


    "Brace yourselves for attack!" Champion Onana''s powerful voice echoed.


    Instantly, the crew of this powerful warship entered a state of high alert as they activated the shield generators of the Golden Cicada even as they made the powerful war weapons hot and ready to unleash destruction.


    While they did this, Champion Onana, being the captain of the warship also activated the deep scanners as they scoured the surrounding space.


    Looking at the screen of the radar while holding his Cutting-Edge Transformable Rifle, Champion Onana expected to see multiple red dots on the radar already as his blood burned hot but none appeared.


    His eyes widened in surprise. "Confirm again".


    "Yes, Captain".


    Champion Onana went to the edge of this warship as with his eyes closed, he touched the metal edges as he instantly felt a resonance with it.


    "Self-Created Ability: Mech- Cyborg Vision!"


    When he opened his eyes again, both his red and blue eyes glowed as with his face touching the metal edges of the warship, he looked outside.


    This ability enabled him to see through the metal blockade outside.


    Champion Onana finally saw the region where they appeared at. It was a wide expanse of space extending as far as his vision could see, there were no enemy warships close by that affected spatial stability.


    He was stunned. ''That was clearly not a natural spatial storm''.


    ''I thought it was an ambush, what is this?'' His eyes narrowed.


    Another thing was. ''Where are the other warships? Where are my allies?'' The eyes of this Nak Champion turned cold and dangerous.


    Turning to go back to themand chair of the captain, he gave new orders. "Check if we''re receiving any distress signals".


    "Negative sir!"


    "Then send signals out to our allies in case they''re in our receiving region, let them know that we''re alive and are avable to help them".


    "Yes sir!"


    "Move the Golden Cicada in a random direction, let''s move and hope that we see any of our allies".


    "Which way sir?"


    "That way". Champion Onana pointed his hand to the right.


    The next moment, the power reactor of the Golden Cicada was supercharged as glowing with a hot blue light, the powerful warship elerated into the distance.


    ¡­


    [Course has been altered!]


    BZZZ!


    The Legs Baron finally jumped out of the teleportation portal.


    Instantly, the crew of this warship was bombarded with warning rms.


    Wom! Wom! Wom!


    [Warning!]


    [Warning!]


    [Warning!]


    [Multiple Unidentified Spaceships have been detected!]


    By now, Legs already took over control of the warship from the panicking Nak engineer. He was a Summoner all the time between both his lives but in a gctic world, a gctic citizen had to learn the basics to pilot a warship.


    "Show footage!"


    Hemunicated directly to the A.I of the warship even as he reeved the engine of this warship, drawing power from its power reactor in preparation for a likely crazy escape ride out of wherever they were at this moment.


    The next moment, a footage was projected on a virtual screen.


    Fire and explosions!


    This was the first thing that was prominent from the footage.


    7 Spaceships, all Light Frigates that were clearly purpose built for speed and stealth circled around 3 Spaceships that were now caught up in the explosions.


    From the gigantic size of the 3 Spaceships that was even bigger than a Heavy Cruiser, Legs easily deduced that they were transport ships.


    The effects of this battle in space were what affected the spatial stability of the higher dimensions and unluckily for Legs and hispanions, it also affected their ride back home to the territory of the Nak Navy.


    As for what the 7 Light Frigates were doing around these 3 Spaceships, anyone could easily make the guess from what they were currently seeing.


    "Pirates!" A female voice said with a grin.


    Sonia had a crazy grin on her face as her hand materialized weapon after weapon, an indication that at this moment, she was extremely excited.


    The Blood Monk had a solemn look on his face. "I''m finally back in society".


    A lot of questions went through Legs'' mind but one was dominant. ''Where are we? Is this Nak Space?''


    ''If it is not, how far are we from Nak Space?''


    Not even once did he think of engaging these 7 Frigates in battle nor did the thought of saving the civilian ships ever entered his mind.


    He was realistic.


    Against 7 powerful and swift Light Frigates with Space Pirates who probably had years of experience on their belts and probably understood this region of spacepletely, 1 Heavy Cruiser could not win.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    ''I bet they have even detected our presence and are waiting for our reaction, staying here is a danger in itself''.


    The only reason why Legs didn''t turn the Legs Baron to escape immediately was due to one reason, he did not know Nak Space at all.


    The Nak engineer was an engineer, not a navigator, he also had zero idea.


    ''Where should I go to?'' That was his most pressing question.


    "Let''s fight them! We can win!" Sonia yelled enthusiastically.


    Legs ignored her.


    In his dilemma, the Legs Baron beeped with new notifications.


    [Distress Signal Detected!]


    A distress footage that was sent out 20 minutes ago opened.


    Once it was projected, a middle-aged man with white hair and beards that already started having a shade of gray to them appeared on the screen.


    "My name is Taman; I am the Captain of this Civilian Transport Group".


    "It''s a Nak Civilian!" The engineer shouted.


    The footage continued.


    "We have been attacked by one of the notorious Beast groups that has been rampaging through Nak Space, they have 2 Grade B beast monsters".


    "My transport group is not protected enough to resist such a force".


    "I need help".


    "If you see our distress signal and you can help, please do".


    "In the meantime, we will try our very best to resist them".


    He gritted his teeth in the footage. "Please save us¡­, I will pay adequately".


    -----


    You have received new Mission¡­


    ----


    "Let''s save them!"


    "Shut up!" Legs red at the Nak engineer.


    At this moment, his head was in a chaotic state but one thought remained predominant. ''I can''t risk it; I need to escape''.


    Another even more powerful signal was suddenly captured by the Legs Baron''s sensors as it was projected on the virtual screen again.


    It was from the same Transport spaceship but the footage was different.


    The signal strength was also different, having been massively amplified, a powerful signal was created that could be received by multiples at the same time, clearly, they wanted as much audience as possible.


    [New Signal Detected!]


    The footage was projected.


    Inside a familiar hall, the hall where the Nak civilian captain recorded the first video, the footage started this time with new entrants.


    Legs froze in shock from what he saw.


    Huge Plecostomus monsters now filled this Spaceship. These beasts that were supposed to be aquatic were now roaming this Spaceship in special suits, the most shocking thing was that they stood and walked upright like humans.


    Some held guns, others held spears, and their 2 leaders held huge clubs.


    At this moment, one of their 2 leaders held the head of the Nak captain with his Club on his other hand as the footage mostly focused on him.


    He looked at the camera. "Citizens of Nak Republic".


    "I am Plecostomus, servant of the Roaming Priest, believer of the faith and message of the Beast King".


    "Today, I have put my life on the line again to spread the goodnews!" This Plecostomus had a vicious and fanatical look on his face.


    "The world must hear us preach the goodnews of the Beast King!"


    "Enough to Beast very!"


    "Enough to Beast Brutality!"


    "We''re tired of being treated like ves to those who see themselves as the higher and intelligent races, we''re tired of being 2nd fiddles!"


    "We''re tired of being meat in your purple dining halls!"


    "We''re tired of livening your luxurious feast halls!"


    "The message of the Beast King shall reach the end of this Universe, and until you all stop it and let every ve beast go, we shall not stop".


    "Our mission cannot be stopped, it is eternal!"


    "Like my brothers, massacring everyone in this Transport Group shall be our message to the world". He grinned. "It is our goodnews to the world".


    Watching even as the footage continued, everyone felt chills as this Plecostomus mmed his club against a random crew member of the Spaceship.


    Sonia frowned, the Nak engineer was shaking in agitation. "You can''t let him ughter my people like that, I thought you were a friend of the Champion".


    "Save him! Please save him!" This engineer cried.


    All of Legs'' crew looked at him, waiting for his decision.


    Legs looked at the screen. ''What should I do?''

 Chapter 513 Escape Or Rescue?

    ?


    ''What should I do?'' Legs at this moment was caught between a rock and a hard ce.


    ''They may have only 2 Grade B Supers but that does not guarantee victory, this is not aary battle, this is a gctic battle situation''.


    ''They have 7 Light Frigates!''


    ''No matter how powerful and resilient of a Spaceship that E was able to build for me, and despite being a Heavy Cruiser, the Legs Baron stands no chance, especially now that they already hijacked the civilian ships''.


    ''That makes it 10 against my lone Heavy Cruiser''.


    ''Taking them head-on will lead to us being wiped out, it''s definitely not advisable but letting so many Naks die is also not advisable''.


    He felt conflicted. ''This is no longer like my time before meeting the Naks, my rtionship with Champion Onana is no longer like before''.


    ''Of course, I''m not obligated to put my life on the line for him but I''m now in his territory. Not just that, I have favors to ask of him and his master''.


    ''Will they still look favorably on me when I let so many of their people die without putting in any effort to help?'' He looked back at the screen.


    BAM!


    With one m of his powerful club, the Grade B Plecostomus crushed another Nak civilian into a bloody paste in the footage as he grinned like a mad fish.


    "This is the message of the Beast King!"


    "This is the goodnews of the Beast King to all beasts!"


    "Those who hear it must obey or will be faced with this same fate!"


    "I will kill every single passenger in this transport group before ending with the captain right here". He patted his head.


    "The world has to feel our pain to know to listen to our goodnews!"


    Legs looked around this chamber of the Legs Baron. At this moment, all the most important individuals in this Heavy Cruiser were already gathered here. They looked at him, waiting for his decision.


    "What is your decision?" de looked at his Master.


    Legs looked at Christensen. "You''ve gotten no signal from any of the warships of the Nak Navy that we are traveling with?"


    "No". Christensen shook his head.


    "They''re advancing closer". Christensen suddenly warned.


    Switching the footage, they could see that 4 of the Frigates of the Space Pirates already turned on them. At this range, from the fact that they were not attacking yet, they clearly just wanted to frighten them away.


    Legs silently looked at the footage. ''Leaving now without doing anything will destroy my rtionship with the Naks''.


    ''Staying has no meaning, I can''t fight my way through that''.


    He hesitated for seconds as the Frigates came closer, he sighed. ''I can''t take this risk, the threat of death is too high''.


    He turned his head to look at Christensen. "We''re escaping".


    "Yes, Captain". Christensen nodded.


    The next moment, the Legs Baron seemed to respond to the threats of the 4 Frigates as it slowly started retreating backwards.


    A few seconds into this, the warship received a new but familiar signal.


    [Signal Detected!]


    [Source- The Amplitude!]


    Christensen''s eyes lit up. "It''s the Nak Destroyer".


    "They''re nearby, this is a veiled signal that can only be detected and recognized by allied parties, the pirates can''t discover this".


    ''That means there''s a great possibility that the others are not far''. Legs instantly made this further conclusion in his mind.


    He looked back at the footage; more than a thousand civilians were already killed by the Grade B Plecostomus as he imed that his subordinates were across the civilian transport ship killing more civilians.


    To him though, the important thing was that the captain was still alive.


    He paid attention to another thing that he refused to give attention to before because of his leaning intention towards escaping.


    -----


    [You have received new Grade B Mission: Rescue Mission!]


    [Mission Details: You have encountered a Civilian Transport Group belonging to the Nak State that is under pirate attack. The pirates are adamant on killing every single civilian in all 3 Spaceships to send a message to the Nak State.]

    ----


    Legs'' eyes honed on a certain reward. Not the experience points, they were too small to lure him into danger, rather it was the favorability points.


    ''Damn, rescuing just one man gives 4 times more favorability points than rescuing thousands of Nak civilians it seems''.


    ''It seems somethings just don''t change even in different worlds''.


    Legs narrowed his eyes. ''I am now in Nak space, they own this territory, they are the true hegemons here''.


    ''If I am to truly get a foothold for myself and my allies, I need their approval''.


    ''Leaving these people to die would literally be shooting that on the foot''.


    ''By getting 800 favorability points with them though, I will be starting at a higher starting point than I ever expected''.


    Legs arrived at his decision.


    He turned his head to look at Christensen. "Direct 40% of the power reactor''s energy towards amplifying our signal projectors as much as possible".


    "Project them as far as possible and find our allies".


    He smirked as he looked at his student. "Captain, you''re now the leader in my absence, you have to make sure that your master does not die".

    Legsmanded the A.I of the Heavy Cruiser before jumping.


    A few months ago, after bing a Grade B Void Raven, Bran unlocked another special ability that enabled him to metamorphosize, either to massively increase his size or to decrease his size immensely.


    Legs activated the reverse metamorphosis as he instantly shrank to the size of a mere pen in space, he fell as soon as the hatch opened.


    The hatch opened and closed in an instant; Legs was gone.


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    Everyone was stunned, Christensen stood up in shock.


    He looked at the hatch of the Spaceship with shock on his face. "What?"


    A certaindy chuckled. "Interesting¡­"


    "Hahaha¡­, interesting¡­, I know I didn''t meet this madd for nothing!"


    "Hehe¡­, he''s my spec!" Sonia had a wide grin on her face.


    She materialized aser pistol and licked its muzzle. "War!"


    Christensen finally snapped to his senses. "You heard what the Army Commander said, direct 40% of the power reactor''s energy to amplifying the strength of our signal projectors as much as possible".


    "Do it!"


    "Yes, Captain". Christensen was automatically the new Captain.


    Instantly, the mode of the warship changed into that of wartime even as they continued ying the guise that they were retreating.


    Their restless Army Commander already dragged them into another battle.

 Chapter 514 Rescue Mission! [1]

    ?


    Somewhere in Nak Space¡­


    In a highly developed that belonged to the Nak Government, inside a huge floating metal building, numerous high officials were gathered.


    There was a lot of noise as they expressed their anger at the news.


    "Those filthy beasts have attacked again!"


    "How dare they project the murder of Nak Civilians in a public projection?!"


    "Cowards! If they really want war, why can''t they face us head on?"


    "They''re a shameless bunch, satisfied with causing so much disruption and only attacking civilian vessels, mypany lost 8 billion Gctic Credits in 2 weeks!" This Nak official looked agitated as he spoke. "I will kill them¡­!"


    "Those bastardly beasts!"


    "But what is their intention really for causing so much disruption?"


    "Can''t you tell? They''re obviously terrorists! Do terrorists need a justifiable reason toy waste to your? They terrorize, that''s why they''re terrorists!"


    "I don''t think so, these beasts are not like other terrorists. They clearly have arge and organized framework despite their fanatical approach to it, they have numerous powerful Priests and even their unknown leader called the Beast King".


    "And unlike others, they''re advocating a clear message, the freedom of beasts that are being enved and brutalized".


    "Hehe¡­" A lot of the high officials sneered at him. "You truly believe those random justifications that they are spouting? A terrorist will always have justification even if it''s just a fa?ade to cause violence".


    "Even if they''re right, so what? We should stop eating meat because you say so, is that what you''re saying?"


    Majority of themughed at that.


    "Go make your family stop eating meat first before spouting nonsense".


    "I actually don''t eat meat; I and my family are vegetarians".


    "Then get lost filthy herbivores! We have a concrete security problem before us and we are not ready to entertain your family ways and stories!"


    "Who did you call filthy?" This high official was angered.


    Both high officials became agitated, it almost escted into a full-blown fight until a single voice brought back order.


    "Silence!"


    All attention went back to the individual that sat at the head of this gathering. He was hunchbacked, his face had a lot of wrinkles, evident of his age even as the glow of his bald head overshadowed his long white beard.


    He seemed to struggle to raise his head to look at everyone present.


    "We are the protectors of the Ring Belt of Nak State". His voice was old and archaic. "It is our duty to protect the lives of those civilians out there".


    "We can''t entertain such provocative violence in our territory".


    He staggered while standing up. "These are my orders".


    "We will do everything to rescue them, send long-range signals to contact any mercenary group in the vicinity, let them help, we will pay handsomely".


    "At the same time, prepare the 14th Legion, they will be going for an interception mission, the Space Pirates can''t escape this time".


    "I want the head of their leader". He looked at the virtual screen.


    "May God help those poor souls". He finally got ready to leave but he paused.


    "Another thing". He looked at them. "Any other time that you turn into children and make so much noise in my gathering, I will kill all of you".


    With his walking stick, he finally staggered away.


    The Crimson Ring woke up to life after the orders of its Army Commander, the Nak State was responding with force this time.


    ¡­


    For 15 minutes, Champion Onana was restless as the Golden Cicada moved through space at a fairly fast speed, looking for his allies.


    At the 21st minute, his eyes finally lit up in relief.


    [Signal Detected!]


    [Source- The Amplitude!]


    "It''s the Amplitude!" This Champion was excited.


    "Champion, it''s not just 1 warship, it''s 4". One of the Nak warriors was able to point it out as Champion Onana looked back at the screen.


    His subordinate was right, all 4 signals came in quick session.


    From their rapidity, it was clearly a distress signal, his eyes narrowed.


    Thest of the signals shed in the screen.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    [Signal Detected!]


    [Source- The Legs Baron!]


    "Ahh¡­, finally, Legs is safe". This Champion was relieved.


    "Sir, they''re hailing us".


    "Answer it". Champion Onana instructed.


    Bzzz!


    The next moment, a virtual screen appeared showing a distressed Christensen. "Hurry, the Army Commander is in danger".


    That was all that Champion Onana needed to hear.


    He looked at his crew. "Did you hear that? What are you f*cking waiting for?"


    "Get there, now!"


    "Yes, Champion!"


    The Golden Cicada''s power reactor was pushed to an extreme in one go as it supplied energy abundantly, enabling this warship to st into the distance with speed as it seemed to be a meteorite in space.


    Boom!


    ¡­


    -----


    You have activated Special Ability: Metamorphosis- Reverse


    ----


    As soon as Legs activated this ability, bing the size of a mere pen and jumping out of the Legs Baron, he was not detected by the pirate ships.


    Masking his body with void energy, they could not detect him.


    With the Void Master passive ability active, he was able to float in space towards the 4 pirate advancing ships. Like a parasite, heshed to one of them.


    When they finally saw that the Heavy Cruiser was retreating for real, the 4 Frigates turned back. Unknowing to them, they were carrying a passenger this time.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Scent Tracking


    You have activated active ability: Auditory Tracking


    ----


    The disadvantages of making himself that small were that his sight was no longer as expansive since he couldn''t use his energy check due to fear of being discovered, it was these 2 tracking skills that helped him.


    Despite how frustrated he felt, he was patient and calm.


    Legs spent minutes infiltrating till he finally made his way into the biggest of the 3 transport spaceships. Once he entered inside, he discovered that apart from killing civilians, the pirate Plecostomus were busy raiding the ships.


    They literally stripped the Spaceships naked from inside as they took anything valuable away. While they did this, the intruder infiltrated deeper.


    ''I have to n my sequence of actions well''.


    ''I just have to ce myself in an appropriate position that will enable me to rescue the captain on time if he is about to be killed and wait''.


    His real faith for this crazy mission was on Christensen.


    He looked at the time. ''It''s over 20 minutes already since I started infiltrating, if the others are really around here, Christensen should have found enough allies to decide tounch an attack already''.


    ''When they attack is when I make my move''. He persevered.


    5 minutes of thister, he snuck into the chamber of the gigantic Spaceship where the broadcast was being recorded. There, he saw all the crew of the warship shaking in fear as they were killed one after the other on the live broadcast.


    With the Grade B Plecostomus''s left hand on his head, the captain kept on shivering like he was frozen in an ice cier as Legs silently blend in.


    Once he did, he looked at his time, then he waited.


    Itsted only 2 minutes.


    BOOM!


    The loud sound of a warship canon reverberated!


    The rescue mission officially started!

 Chapter 515 Rescue Mission! [2]

    ?


    It camepletely unexpected.


    For a moment, it was like time slowed down as the metal slugs and the heatedser beams elerated towards the closest of the Frigates.


    "¡­" None of the pirates could react.


    BOOM!


    A wave of fire engulfed one of the Light Frigates as the pirates were rmed.


    3 huge holes left by ballistic missiles was punched through the side of this Spaceship, as for it''s heat propellers, a powerfulser st ended its life.


    Instantly, this Light Frigate lost control of its flight, floating uncontrobly in space and away from the other pirate Frigates.


    The formation of the 7 pirate Frigates was instantly scattered.


    They were shocked.


    "Enemies!"


    By the time that the rms started sounding, they were already here.


    4 huge warships all bigger than the pirate Frigates, 2 Heavy Cruisers and 2 Destroyers, they seemed imposing as they elerated towards the pirates.


    Inside the Golden Cicada, Champion Onana already entered his mech suit.


    Holding his Cutting-Edge transformable rifle, he gave the order.


    "Attack!"


    The numerous weapon armaments of the Spaceships aimed at the pirate Frigates, then without hesitation they unleashed disaster!


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    More attacks wereunched at the Pirate Frigates.


    At this same moment, Champion Onana ejected out of his warship as he flew into space. The powerful energy signatures of his mechanic suit attracted a lot of attention as the pirates focused on him.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: True Resonance!"


    As Champion Onana resonated with his mech, it glowed blue in space!


    When he pulled the trigger, he attracted all the attention!


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    All the pirate Spaceships reacted instantly as they focused on defending even as they tried retaliating against the enemy warships and the Grade B Mechanic.


    While they focused on him, they were unable to detect her on time.


    Whoosh!


    Like a skydiver, Sonia had her hands beside her body as having transformed her shoes into rocket propellers, she dived through the formation of the Frigates.


    The scenario that yed out was like a needle piercing through a robe.


    They were unable to stop her, she prated their defense in one jump as shended on one of the Civilian Spaceships.


    Bam!


    Sonia tore her way into this Spaceship instantly.


    The rescue mission began but it was rougher than the pirates expected.


    ¡­


    Inside the Spaceship where the broadcast was being recorded¡­


    Boom!


    Hearing the sound of the explosion, the Grade B Plecostomus that was in charge of the broadcast was stunned for a second but he reacted instantly.


    Grabbing the Spaceship captain, he turned to leave.


    "End the broadcast".


    "Yes Lord¡­"


    The subordinate could not finish the sentence when he attacked!


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master


    ----


    BAM!


    Legs'' intention was to instantly sever the throat of this fish.


    From nowhere, an existence appeared before suddenly erging from the small size of a pen before his face as the Plecostomus felt death creep close!


    Between saving his life and keeping the captain captive, the Plecostomus made his choice instantly. He reacted extremely fast as he leaned back while letting go of the Nak Captain.


    He felt the air blow extremely close to his neck as the fiery edge of the enchanted de passed by.


    Having expected his opponent to dodge his attack, Legs did not follow up as with one hand, he was able to catch the Spaceship captain.


    "Guardian Ability: Hypermaism!"


    BZZZ!


    Instantly, an incredible force of attraction became active!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Every pirate in this Spaceship was attracted towards the center of this incredible force of attraction!


    The Guardian Komodo Dragon may only be a Grade C+ Beast, but this ability of his was still able to work on Grade B Supers.


    The pirates may not be Champion Onana who was a pure mechanic, but they were still minutely attracted, this bought enough time for a certain summoner.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    As soon as the rainbow bridge opened, Legs threw the captain in, the Guardian Komodo Dragon also used this opportunity to escape having done its job.


    The effects of the hypermaism finally came to an end.


    "The nerve!" The 2 Grade B Plecostomus were totally incensed.


    The worst thing was that this rescue was caught on the broadcast.


    But as they looked though, the human who fused with his beast was already gone. Using the time when they were attracted by the hypermaism, Legs directly sneaked away as he started phase 2 of the mission that he started.


    His intention was to rescue as much civilians as possible.


    One of the angry Grade B Plecostomus was about to go after him but the other stopped him. "We''re outnumbered and outmatched, I can already detect multiple Grade B energy, let''s escape".


    This Plecostomus nodded reluctantly.


    ¡­


    Inside the 2nd Civilian Spaceship¡­


    Bzzz!


    While the pirates raided, a creature with a horn suddenly appeared before them. His sword glowed crimson, his eyes were even more ominous.


    Azrael looked at the pirates one time before moving.


    Whoosh!


    Kicking his leg against the floor of the spaceship as it caved in, he exploded with speed as his sword diced these pirates to pieces.


    While he killed and intimidated the pirates, Ak rescued the captives.


    Thousands of wolves already filled this Spaceship as they held the pirates back while gathering and protecting all the civilians in this spaceship.


    Legs had everything nned out.


    ¡­


    Inside the 3rd Civilian Spaceship¡­


    "Predator, let''s just kill, they''ll clean up after us".


    "ROAR¡­!" The Nightmare Beast showed his enthusiasm.


    This time, Sonia literally rode this powerful beast into battle. They didn''t even show concern for the captive civilians, Afterall, killing more of these pirates was another way of rescuing them from sure death.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    They stampede their way through the pirates in this Spaceship.


    Just about 2 minutester, all the pirates finally received new orders as they started escaping from the warships, they already received the order to retreat.


    The powerful Plecostomus pirate group that was about to devour these 3 Civilian Spaceships just minutes ago was repelled in no time.


    ¡­

    Legs avoided frontal confrontation against the 2 Grade B Plecostomus, his goal was to rescue the civilians and that was what he set out on doing.


    Having let all his beasts and tamed beasts across the 3 Civilian Spaceships and having saved the captain, he focused on controlling everything from the dark to rescue more.


    In his opinion, the pirates could escape, he only wanted to rescue the civilians but he received a call from Champion Onana the next moment.


    "Legs, I just received a call from the Zonal Nak Army Commander".


    "He wants us to kill all these pirates, he will reward us".


    Almost as soon as Champion Onana spoke, Legs'' game interface lit up again with a new notification of a new Grade B Mission.


    -----


    [You have received Grade B Mission: The Zonal Commander''s Wish!]


    [Mission Details: The Zonal Army Commander hase under a lot of stress due to the rampaging beast pirates, help him eradicate the pirates.]


    [Mission Reward: +500 Favorability with the Nak State, +700 Favorability with the Crimson Ring Belt, and +1000 Favorability with the Army Commander!]


    ----


    Legs'' eyes glowed. ''Deal!''


    There was a change of ns.

 Chapter 516 Johns Masterpiece; Eradicating Space Pirates!

    ?


    John was in his element!


    Originally, Christensen''s orders were to take it easy, not taking any risks and to only rescue the civilians that were being killed by the pirates.


    Due to these restraints, John could not really affect the grand scheme much.


    Afterall, he was just a Grade C+ Virtual Mechanic.


    This changed though after Legs'' orders override all themands.


    "The civilians have been rescued; our mission is not done".


    "Eradicate every Space Pirate, let none leave alive!"


    As soon as this order came, John felt like a fish in water.


    He could finally do what excited him!


    He was not like the others, he didn''t get high from the same thing that excited other warriors, the things that excited him were very different.


    As soon as Legs gave the new orders, the approach to everything changed.


    John was unleashed!


    Cracking his knuckles right there inside the Legs Baron, John finally showed his crew in the spaceship what he could do in a battlefield.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Code Fragmentation!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Virtual Programming Language!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Virtual Hacking!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Virtual Coding!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Virtual Networking!"


    BZZZ!


    A single Virtual Mechanic changed the tides of a battle that was supposed to be tight and uphill, he singlehandedly disabled a ton of the enemies.


    With his fingers rapidly taping at the virtual screen that was before him, he was able to infiltrate into the virtual servers of all 7 Pirate Light Frigates. Like he expected, they were ragtag and were not too funded and developed.


    This was natural of spaceships used by most pirate groups.


    Hacking them was a piece of cake.


    Hacking into their server, John sabotaged them, fragmenting all their codes and protocols that made this pirate group a unit.


    By fragmenting their codes, John effectively cut the 2 Grade B Plecostomus from their underlings. They could no longer efficientlymunicate with them, the greatest factor of any pirate group, information was crippled.


    Panic instantly set in among the pirates, yet, John was not done.


    With his fingers still rapidly tapping away, he wrote an entirely new andplicated code on the spot using a malicious programmingnguage that he created. This was what truly screwed the pirates.


    John did not just sabotage them; he now hijacked them.


    With his new codes, he became their new Pirate Commander and like every other Commander would do, he gave his piratesmands.


    Having simted the voice of the Grade B Plecostomus, his voice reverberated across the first Pirate Frigate. "We represent the Beast King!"


    "We cannot flee like cowards when pushed to the wall!"


    "This is a fight for our brothers!"


    "When pushed to the wall, we fight and bite back!"


    "Turn and let''s fight to the glory of the Beast King!"


    It was simple words that were filled with a lot of loopholes, but the fanatic pirates did not even think through it, they were all hotblooded.


    They became rabid and angry. "For glory!"


    "For the Beast King!"


    This already escaping Light Frigate turned around and charged straight towards the 4 pursuing bigger warships without a shred of fear.


    A few secondster, 6 of the 7 Light Frigates turned around to fight to the death against their pursuers!


    The Nak and Darvis warriors were stunned, the 2 Grade B Plecostomus were even more stunned as their Frigate became the only one that continued escaping but not so fast, John was not done yet.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Self-Created Virtual Technique: Virtual Infestation!"


    "Self-Created Virtual Ability: Virus Cell Replication!"


    "Self-Created Virtual Ability: System Shutdown!"


    "Self-Created Virtual Ability: Reboot; Chaos!"


    John literally used all his mana points just to perform these series of crazy sequences that he created during his days as a crazy space pirate.


    He had used this exactbo to help his pirate group win numerous battles against enemy pirates and merchant trade groups in the past, now, as a repented pirate, he now used it solely against other pirates.


    BZZZ!


    The A.I of thest Frigate was infested by John.


    The virus spread fast like the covid, the Plecostomus pirates had no virtual mechanic, they could not stop the spread until it was already toote.


    When the Frigate suddenly shut down, they knew that it was over.


    When it rebooted, the Frigate became chaos personified.


    [New order received: elerating right at full-speed!]


    [Counter order received: elerating left at 150% speed!]


    [New order received: Reversing!]


    The A.I was broken!


    To the shock of everyone watching, this Light Frigate started moving haphazardly in space, going up and down, left and right like a drunk ship.


    In essence, this Light Frigate was now trapped in space.


    The whole pirate group was sabotaged by a single Virtual Mechanic because they didn''t have one in their ranks to counter him, one single Grade C+ Virtual Mechanic crippled their Frigates and trapped them for death.


    This was John''s masterpiece!


    His allies were shocked but they dared not waste the chance that he created; they pounced on the confused pirates like wolves among a pack of sheep.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Sonia became a walking bomb inside this gctic battlefield!


    Just to kill all the Space pirates, this warrior and war weapon literally turned herself into a mobile artillery tank. She bombarded every pirate on sight, leaving holes through their bodies as they didn''t even know how they died.


    When Nagana arrived, he proved his mettle as the Blood Monk.


    Across arge part of this battlefield, this unconventional Elementalist felt at home as manipting the pirates, draining them of their blood and turning it into weapons to fight even more pirates.


    Legs wreaked havoc alongside his beasts.


    Champion Onana''s mech suit had a field day, every shot met it''s mark as hundreds of pirates died to him even as the others also got engaged.


    de and Uranus wreaked even more havoc with their swords.


    It was a battlefield of chaos.


    Inside the Legs Baron, despite feeling drained and weak, watching the effects of what he orchestrated, John spread his hands like a mad man as he embraced the energy of chaos created by his sabotage.


    His body shook in excitement. "This is it!"


    "This is what I have been looking for, excitement!"


    "Hahaha¡­!"


    "This life, I can never get tired of it!"


    None of the 7 Frigates survived, floating metal ruins were what was left of them after 20 minutes of this intense gctic battle orchestrated by John.


    Legs held the head of one of the Grade B Plecostomus.

    [You have received Grade C Mission: Save the Civilians!]


    [You have received Grade C Mission: Fight the Pirates!]


    After an exciting day of the internationals where team Blue Autumn prevailed over their foreign opponents, there was a sense of joy and celebration among the yers that followed Legs but they woke up to see this.


    Even the pro yers of team Fish Trout let go of their rivalry for the first time to celebrate their fierce rivals, but they were all stunned to see these notifications.


    "Huh? Did something happen?"


    "What is this?" Most of them were confused.


    When they finally did their research and discovered that they literally missed a gctic battle which probably meant a few million experience points just lost, almost all of them felt like crying.


    Horny Assassin felt it more. ''I need experience points!''


    While they felt a bit affected, it was just some experience points, it didn''t linger in their minds, they continued celebrating the victory of one of theirs.


    It was while they celebrated that the warships got to their destination.


    ¡­


    "Wee my friends, you have done the Crimson Ring Belt a great favor". The enthusiastic voice of an old man reverberated.


    Legs and Champion Onana had a gentle smile on their faces as they followed behind this old Army Commander.


    Despite being old and using a walking stick and sometimes sounding a bit goofy, Legs was not fooled, he could still feel the cleverly masked energy of this old man, this old man was dangerous!


    Without a doubt, he was at least a peak Grade B Pugilist.


    After taking care of the pirates a few hours ago, the news spread fast as all the neighborings celebrated the warriors that killed the pirates.


    This was when the old Army Commander invited them to his.


    The Crimson Ring was the ruling Nak of the Crimson Ring Belt.


    This was mostly an industrial with trade Spaceships constantly going in and out, but a huge military force was also stationed here and this old man was the Army Commander.


    He led them into a feast where a lot of people where already gathered. They celebrated them on arrival as some of the clear dignitaries among these people instantly started cozying up to Champion Onana.


    A Champion was among the highest-ranking positions in the Nak State only behind the Admirals and a few high-ranking positions.


    Legs was also sure that being invited here was hugely influenced by Onana. ''This is why favorability is so important''.


    "So, Legs, tell me how you and our friend here came into our territory, we were not informed of a Champion passing by". The old man inquired with a chuckle.


    "He''s a new spacer". Champion Onana replied as he looked at Legs.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "A new spacer?" The old man was surprised. "Where did youe from?"


    "A distant far from here".


    The old man nodded in understanding. "If you''re a new spacer, it likely means that you don''t know much about this region".


    Heughed. "Since you helped me by clearing off those pirates, I will do you a favor by exining about this region to the best of my ability, I can boast of having the most knowledge about this region than everyone else".


    Legs smiled. "I''ll be d".


    Amid energy foods and drinks as the feast went on at full st, the old man led the conversation. "This is the Crimson Ring Belt; it is the zone closest to the chaos space in the Minerva Star System".


    "I am the Commander in charge of alls in this Ring Zone".


    "The Minerva Star System has only 12 major zones so that should tell you the importance of my territory. My job is to protect the Ring Zone from the beasts roaming out from the chaos space, and also the pirates like you witnessed".


    Legs did not ask what a chaos zone was, he knew it from his previous life.


    They were like miniature versions of ckholes, regions of space that was inhabitable to most lifeforms except some incredibly powerful beasts.


    These beasts pose a threat to all neighborings and by ingesting the powers of the chaos zone, they had a fearsome reproductive rate. Their offspring were the beasts from the chaos zone and they posed the most threat to society.


    Grabbing a huge meat jerky and devouring it, the old man continued. "Of the 12 Zones in the Minerva Star System, the Ackermanns control 7".


    "Ackermanns?"


    "Yeah, they''re our rival and enemy state. Do me a favor Legs, if you see them, do to them exactly like you did to those pirates, I sanction it".


    Legsughed.


    The old man continued. "We control only 5 Zones in the Minerva Star System including the Ring Zone which is the poorest and closest to the chaos zone". This old man had a bitter smile on his face.


    "Anyways, let''s not entertain sad thoughts, this is time to celebrate".


    "You are heroes and heroes should be celebrated".


    "Yeah". Legs replied with a smile as they drankvishly but a lot of things went through his mind, he had never stopped thinking since entering space.


    He looked at the old man. "I have some questions".


    "Oh! Ask away, I''m all ears".


    "This is the Emerald Chaos Star Field right?"


    The old man was shocked, he looked at Legs. "Yeah, I thought you were a new spacer, how did you know?" He looked genuinely shocked.


    He didn''t let Legs answer before he continued.


    "The Emerald Chaos Star Field is the 6th and weakest of the 6 Star Fields of the universe under the control of the 3 Universal Organizations".


    "The Emerald Chaos Star Field has 5 Star Clusters under it, our Star Cluster is the Gundogan Star Cluster under the rule of the Gundogan High Race".


    "The Minerva Star System is just one of many under the Gundogan Star Cluster". Seeing that Legs was following, this old man felt even more shocked. "You don''t seem overwhelmed, like you know some of these things before".


    "How can a new spacer know so much?"


    Legs chuckled. "I''m curious and I read a lot".


    ''Or betterstill, I''ve lived in this Star Field all my life in my previous life''. Of course, he didn''t say this out loud.


    The reason why Legs asked all these questions was to confirm. He wanted to know that this was the exact same star field that he operated in his previous life.


    His eyes gleamed. ''Everything seems the same''.


    ''That means my intact knowledge should also be the same''.


    ''Unlike Version 1 and 2 that were so far away I could barely remember, Version 3 is just before Version 4 when I died''. A barely noticeable smirk crept up his face. ''And I remember every important information about Version 3!''


    ''The next version will be even more exciting to me!''


    He finally understood some other things more. ''The Crocodile Priest''.


    ''Those Plecostomus, they''re undoubtedly underlings of the of the Roaming Priest, the Demonic Shadow Plecostomus!''


    His eyes gleamed. ''This is going to be exciting!''

 Chapter 518 Mercenary

    ?


    Bam!


    The old Commander downed another bottle of enhanced beer as he mmed it against the table with force beforeughing loudly.


    "Aha¡­, that touched the brain, these brewers are good!"


    He pped his head. "So, Legs, what do you say you''d be doing again?"


    "Living life independent in the Minerva Star System is not always an endeavor that pays boy. If I''d advise you, join a major power instead of going solo".


    "Of course, you can decide not to listen to the ramblings of an old man like me". He pped his slightly bloating belly as the othersughed.


    "But if you changed your mind though, know that I can help you".


    "I heard that you have an army, if you like, your army can easily join ours as guardians of the ring belt, it''s the best way to enjoy life as a gctic citizen".


    Legs smiled at the Army Commander. "I really appreciate your generous offer but I''m afraid I''ll have to reject, I still intend on going independent".


    "Fair enough". The old man pped his shoulders.


    "If you need anything, don''t forget to meet me, if I can I will not hesitate to help you, I like warriors of your quality, you saved lives there boy, Nak lives".


    "By the way, that Captain you saved is the son of one of my rich friends".


    "He''s very grateful for what you did".


    The old man stood up with another bottle of enhanced beer. "One of these days, if you have the chance, go meet him". He smirked. "You won''t regret it".


    "Wait, old man¡­" Legs paused, realizing his mistake. "I''m sorry¡­"


    "It''s ok". The old man had an amused look on his face. "It''s been long since anyone called me an old man so tantly to my face, you just made me remember one of my old friends".


    "He died during the battle of the Crater Metal". This old man''s eyes seemed to ze over in mncholy.


    "It was after that battle that I became the Army Commander here. A lot of people think I did it alone, bing a war legend, but he did most of the things".


    "It''s a pity that death is real, death is a b*tch Legs!"


    "I''m sorry for reminding you about sad memories". Legs apologized.


    "No¡­, no, it''s not sad at all, that bastard never let me rest. By now, he would have been dragging me to another battle arena for a spar already".


    "Haha, perhaps, the god of fate let him die for a reason". He turned to leave yet he paused again. "But¡­, now that I remember him, I suddenly want to spar again". He looked at Legs whose heart skipped a beat.


    "Me? You want to spar with me?"


    "Yeah, what''s the harm in it? Come on boy!"


    "But¡­, no¡­, wait!"


    "Come on!" The old man dragged him away.


    A few minutester, inside a gigantic old battle arena like one of the coliseums of old Rome, an old man with a walking stick and a young Summoner stood side by side as loud cheers reverberated in the spectator stands.


    "Old man, let''s not do this please". Legs felt full of regret.


    "What? Why? You think I''m old?"


    "Not that¡­" Legs paused in shock.


    Throwing the huge purple robe that he always wore away; this old man exposed a ripped body full of muscles. His chest felt like the rock where a cksmith used to temper his steel, his arm muscles were like mini boulders.


    The only irregrity was his big belly, but this was remedied instantly.


    The old man shed his brown and broken teeth at Legs, he grinned. "Back in my days, I dominated this coliseum, I was called the Mad Hound!"


    Closing his eyes a bit to feel the atmosphere, he threw his walking stick away, then he smashed his right leg against the battle arena as a transformation took ce instantly.


    Crack! Crack!


    After loud cracking sounds, his hunched back straightened, his big belly disappeared like it was hammered in by a Dwarf''s hammer.


    The old man grinned. "Let the battle begin!"


    Legs'' eyes widened. "Sh*t!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>

    The old man''s eyes widened. "You already achieved Unity with your beast?"


    "Amazing! You''re the perfect sparing opponent!"


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    For the next 15 minutes, Legs was on the receiving end of some serious beating as his face was left bruised at the end of the fight.


    Coughing blood while lying on the floor weak, the old man walked beside him before kicking him on the butt.


    "Why the hell did you hold back? I hate it!"


    "You also held back!" Legs shot right back at him.


    The old man was silenced for a few seconds. "Hmph!"


    He started leaving but Legs stopped him.


    "Wait! Please, I didn''t finish my inquiries the other time".


    "What?" He continued leaving.


    "Can I make my army official here while being independent?"


    "You cannot".


    "Why?"


    The old man finally stopped, he turned to look at him. "Only recognized and reputable groups and leaders are allowed to make their independent army in the Minerva Star System, we only have 7 recognized independent armies".


    "If you really want to go independent so bad, I advise start as a mercenary".


    "You can finalize everything here in my".


    "Mercenary groups are differentiated into different levels depending on the power of your group, influence, and a lot of other things".


    He finally continued his walk outside. "A lot of people watched this spar, rest assured, you will receive the best treatment and grade possible for the power level of your mercenary group".


    Legs finally wiped his blood off and stood up. "Thank you".


    Watching the old man leave, he thought. ''I already knew of this but I thought I could find a loophole, welps, I guess no short cut for me''.


    ''I have to start from the bottom like usual''.


    He sighed in relief. ''Hopefully, I already have favorability with some powerful figures here, my starting point would be higher than normal''.


    He wiped sweat off his face before picking up his clothes even as he saw hispanions watching him from above, he gestured at them.


    "What are you waiting for? Let''s go be mercenaries!"

 Chapter 519 Crimson Ring Planet

    ?


    The Crimson Ring was massive, like 7 times of Darvis.


    It was a perfect depiction of what gctic society looked like.


    Since making their way into the Crimson Ring, Legs and hispanions spent all the time inside the Army Commander''s home. It was where the feast was held, and it was built on top the battle arena.


    After leaving the battle arena though, they could finally face the in it''s fullest glory and it was nothing short of beautiful.


    It was already nighttime but this was illuminated everywhere.


    There were floating cities in the skies, including light bridges that led from one city to another. The normal sky vehicles could take a passenger round this massive within just 50 minutes, this was the power of technology.


    Most of the buildings in sight were massive skyscrapers and weird works of architecture. Here, Mages could do even better work than Earth Elementalists.


    Being able to manipte the arcane powers of nature to harness elements like ss and all kinds of material, the most ridiculous of architecture that architects could never dream ofpleting on Earth were created.


    All these were one of many elements making up this boisterous.


    Its single most defining feature was the speed shuttles that hovered everywhere in the air, this technological aircraft was everywhere.


    Lanes were made through the air to regte traffic as different shuttles flew through the air.


    ording to the guard that was assigned to them by the old Commander, rednes were for public transport, bluenes for rich guests who could afford personal shuttles, and purplenes for VIP, they were VIP.


    5 individuals apanied Legs to the headquarters of the Mercenary Union, an organization that spanned across star fields.


    Inside the shuttle, it took all their willpower as warriors to stop Christensen, de, and Uranus from screaming like excited kids who saw toys for the first time.


    Champion Onana had an amused look on his face as he watched them looking everywhere in fascination while trying hard to hide it.


    "Dad! A Dragon, look, it''s a dragon!"


    "¡­" Christensen almost palmed his face.


    In the end, it was Uranus who exposed them as f*cking bumpkins.


    He was not wrong though, once they arrived at the closest city, they saw a real literal Dragon soaring the skies. This Dragon may be of the same size as the Ancient Dragons in Darvis, but its aura was on a whole other level.


    "It''s a Grade B+ Dragon". Legsmented.


    "That''s the Commander''s war stead". The guardmented.


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    Silence reigned in the shuttle for the next 3 minutes right until they got to their destination.


    Coming down, they saw another aspect of this, the streets.


    The streets were filled with all kind of creatures. Of course, it was mostly Nak citizens and humans. Humans were literally everywhere in the universe; they were one of the mostmon and fastest reproducing races.


    Apart from themon races, they saw even weirder races. Mostly beasts but with a high amount of intelligence, these were already gctic citizens.


    The gctic beasts ranged wildly. From fish that mutated to walk onnd to parrots that were giving live performance music concerts on the streets, there were all forms of gctic lives and scene in the streets.


    They also saw mutated humanoids that were like Sonia, others with blue skin, some with even red skin, this showed the diversity of the universe.


    Looking at all these sights was the only reason why it took them so long to arrive at their destination but finally, they were there.


    >MERCENARY UNION<


    It was written on a massive signpost that floated in the sky.


    The building of the mercenary alliance was a massive skyscraper that towered into the skies, most likely 50 stories tall.


    Champion Onana''s identity and their rtionship with the leader of the city made things so much easier. They left the hordes of other mercenaries that were at the lower floors as they directly made their way to floor 44.


    There, they met a human with a tiger head who attended to them.


    Despite being on a suit, her head still made her look weird.


    "Wee to the headquarters of the Mercenary Union, what can I do for you?" She asked with a smile that only looked like a snarl to them.


    "¡­"


    Champion Onana smiled at her. "We want to create a mercenary group".


    "Oh! Coming". She said with a smile before bringing a paper out of a slit in the wall that was beside her counter.


    "Take, this is the slip, fill the details inside".


    Legs took the slip before looking through it.


    [Mercenary Union Registration Slip:]


    [Purpose: New Mercenary Group!]


    [Name of Mercenary Commander/Grade/Main ss:]


    [Name of Mercenary Vice Commanders/Grade: (at least 3)]


    [Number of Mercenaries/Grade Division:]


    ¡­


    (This part is for mercenary officers only!)


    [Mercenary Registration Mission Status:]


    [Mercenary Registration Number:]


    [Mercenary Grade:]


    Legs looked at the tiger head female. "Is writing my main sspulsory? Is that not a breach of personal warrior information?"


    She smiled which again only looked like a snarl. "The mercenary union takes the privacy of our mercenaries very seriously. This is just for our database, be rest assured that no one will have ess to your information".


    Legs nodded. "I''ll take your word to it".


    Taking a pen, he filled the first and second parts of the slip. <novelsnext></novelsnext>


    [Mercenary Vice Commanders/Grade:]


    [Vice Commander: de- Grade B!]


    [Vice Commander: Christensen- Grade B!]


    Legs paused, he looked at Champion Onana. "Are you?"


    "Yes". He chuckled. "I''m a Nak Champion but that does not shackle me, it instead gives me even more freedom since I''m not exactly tied to the Nak Navy".


    "I can be part of your mercenary group which I already intend to do".


    "I still think fate has a lot more adventures in store for the both of us".


    Legs smiled, that did it, he wrote thest Vice Commander.


    [Vice Commander: Onana- Grade B!]


    "Dad! What of me?" Uranus nagged.


    Legs chuckled and rubbed the Titan''s head. "Keep on working harder, the day you be a Grade B Titan and beat any of your uncles in singlebat, you will take their position and be the new Vice Commander".


    "Really?"


    "Yeah, why would I lie to you? You think I''m air?"


    Uranus became determined. "Then, I''ll work even harder!"


    The others chuckled.


    [Number of Mercenaries:]


    [Grade B: 6]


    The others looked at him in surprise, Legs nodded at them. "Yeah, Sonia and Nagana agreed to be part of the mercenary group for the meantime".


    "Apparently, theye from another star field which means they have no hopes of returning home anytime soon, they intend on staying with us".


    "That''s nice, they''re powerfulpanions". Christensen was happy.


    After filling the rest parts of the slip, Legs handed it back to the tiger headdy. She looked through it before looking back at them.


    "The registration fee".


    Legs was surprised. "There''s a registration fee? How much?"


    Since he didn''t create a mercenary group himself and instead worked under others in his previous life, he didn''t know much about the creation itself.


    "50,000 Gctic Credits only". She replied with a wide smile.


    "¡­" Legs just looked at her.


    "I''ll pay". Champion Onana volunteered.


    One burden was lifted off Legs as he thanked Onana. Due to just making his way to gctic society, in here, he was totally broken.


    Thedy smiled at them the next moment after confirming the money and writing on the slip. "Your registration number is 004, it''s unique".


    "Do not forget it".


    She stamped the slip with a logo of the mercenary union, a ck hand holding a massive halberd that was striking across space.


    She smiled at them again. "Only onest step remains, the registration mission". She stood up and led them to the mission counter. "To prove your capabilities, you have toplete your first mission before being registered".


    "There are 3 current missions avable".


    "Since you said you have Grade B warriors in your midst, you''ll get a Grade B mercenary mission. Of the 3, one is a search and rescue mission for the missing daughter of a wealthy Billionaire of the nearby Crimson Tide".


    "The 2nd mission is an escort mission for a renowned merchant group".


    "Thest mission is a bounty hunting mission, the target is a notorious Grade B Shadow Mage that recently arrived in a distant, Azure Curtain".


    "Master, I will take andplete the mission on your behalf". de volunteered as Uranus also showed his interest.


    Legs did not argue. "Ok, then choose the one that you want".


    "I choose the bounty mission".


    The tiger headdy nodded with a smile, tore the mission paper out before handing it over to de.


    They finally left.


    ¡­


    While de left with Uranus to a distant toplete the mission, Champion Onana and Christensen went to enjoy the attractions of this while Legs returned alone to the home of the old Commander.


    Inside the garden, this old man sat on a rocking chair as he watched the stars in the night sky while smoking a pipe.


    "You again?"


    Legsughed. "Your senses are indeed as sharp as a beast".


    He snorted. "You don''t tter for nothing, tell me what you want".


    "I have a question".


    "Another one?"


    "Yes".


    "Ugh¡­" He groaned. "I hope it better be worth my time".


    "I hope so too". Legs came closer and sat beside him before looking at his face. "Do you know of any person called Old Man Gu?"


    The old Commander''s face twitched.

 Chapter 520 Bounty Mission- Hunt!

    ?


    "What does the book say?"


    Uranus had a serious look on his face. "It doesn''t say much about his power but without a doubt, this warrior is versatile and has a lot of abilities".


    "It says he has magic spells to change his face and appearance".


    "His spells are mostly shadow spells and his most powerful spell is also a shadow spell, it''s called the Binding Shadow and it''s pretty notorious".


    "Witnesses from mercenaries who have seen it in action says that you feel your whole body petrify like the devil is staring into your soul".


    "This makes you vulnerable, giving the Shadow Mage all the initiative".


    "Another thing is, he is not human, it says here that he is a reptile¡­"


    de looked at Uranus then back at his paper.


    "That is just one of his many forms".


    Inside the bounty paper that was on de''s hand depicted a handsome young man with ck hair on ck attire. He had a cold look on his face like nothing in this world mattered to him, he looked dangerous even from a picture.


    "That is the facial form that he was seen the most recently and that is 3 weeks ago, he may have changed forms again". Uranus showed de the detailed book that the tiger headdy also handed to them.


    "See, these are 4 other forms in which he had been seen".


    de looked through the book. In one of them, the Shadow Mage had blonde hair, in another he had green hair, while in thest 2, he had purple and gray hair respectively, he was like a chameleon".


    Uranus furrowed his brows. "I don''t know how we''re supposed to capture him when he can change his form at will, that just makes this mission unnecessarily unfair".


    de kept quiet, deep in thought. "We wait".


    "Huh?"


    He looked at Uranus. "There''s no way we''re catching him if we just decide to go after him, that''s why he''s still elusive till now despite so many bounty hunters going after him due to the price on his head".


    "He almost has the price of a Grade B+ bounty when being just a normal Grade B bounty, it says a lot about his elusive skills".


    "Another thing is, from his previous appearance records, he always showed himself due to a tangible reason, a treasure or a target that he wants to kill".


    "I believe that he has a simr reason this time too".


    "Instead of looking out for him, let''s look out for any noteworthy event that will be happening soon in this. There''s a great chance that he will be in one of them, so that''s where we can get him".


    "As for now, wey low".


    ¡­


    Somewhere in Azure Curtain, inside a dimly lit room¡­


    This room was extremely small and totally empty, only 2 things were inside, a candle that barely illuminated the room and a ck-robed existence that clung to the roof of this room like a bat.


    A knock suddenly sounded on the door before a human came in.


    Bowing once, he dropped a paper close to the candle before leaving.


    Once he left, the creature clinging to the roof moved. Landing as silently as a cat, he walked closer and looked at the picture.


    "Hiss!" He snarled.


    "More mercenaries!"


    "It does not matter how many you send; they can''t stop me!"


    "I''ll even kill some of them this time to send a message". A forked tongue like a snake elongated out of his mouth the next moment, he licked his face with it before picking his nose with it.


    "Hiss!" Hissing, he climbed the roof again.

    Staying in gctic society was expensive.


    de and Uranus needed money toe to Azure Curtain, they also needed money to stay here and all of it was provided by Champion Onana.


    For days, they were patient, waiting while doing their research.


    On the 4th day, they found it. "This is it!"


    "The Nak Mayor of this will being back from his vacation in 2 days. News came that during his vacation, he was fortunate enough to meet a legendary alchemist and he bought a very expensive potion".


    Uranus'' eyes widened as he got his uncle''s point. "Among the Shadow Mage''s known talents, he is also an alchemist".


    de nodded. "We shall be there on the day of the mayor''s return".


    Time moved fast and in no time, it was already 2 days.


    Like usual, the gctic port was busy as Spaceships descended and ascended but today was unusually busy, this was because of the mayor''s return.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    A lot of the dignitaries of the were gathered to wee him back.


    Wherever lots of dignitaries were gathered, warriors were also guaranteed to be gathered. Amidst the rowdiness of the asion, 2 pair of eyes watched from the darkness, paying close attention to any sudden change in the port.


    They waited for minutes yet nothing happened, the mayor entered his special shuttle which lifted off soon after, yet, nothing still happened.


    ''Was I wrong? Was this not his target?''


    "Uncle, what should we do?"


    de hesitated.


    After some time, he made his decision. "Let''s secretly follow¡­"


    He barely spoke when a loud sound reverberated from the distance.


    Boom!


    A bolt of ck lightning charged into the skies with power.


    The magic formation of the special shuttle activated but it was not sturdy enough to fully withstand the power of the ck lightning, the shuttle crashed from the sky even as amotion was started instantly.


    Screams reverberated across the streets as frightened civilians ran.


    de''s eyes became sharp. "He came".


    He red at Uranus. "Stay behind me, follow my instructions, don''t act alone and don''t do anything stupid".


    Uranus pouted. "You sound so much like Dad".


    de ignored him as he unsheathed his Lightsaber.


    He did not hesitate; one stomp of his foot and he exploded forward with immense speed towards the direction of the attack.


    Instantly after he arrived on the scene, he saw him.


    He looked the same as what was drawn in the bounty paper. His charcoal ck hair was prominent in the crowd to de''s sharp eyes, he was sneaking his way closer amid the chaos towards the location of the crashed shuttle.


    As soon as de looked at him, he turned to look at de.


    Both their eyes shed and electricity seemed to crackle in the air.


    "Velocita dell''ombra!''


    This mage chanted some words the next moment as he turned into a ball of shadow energy that rapidly elerated towards the mayor''s shuttle.


    The mayor''s bodyguards were rmed, he also had a Grade B bodyguard.


    "Protect the mayor!"


    He had no way of killing the mayor but the mayor was never his target all along. Rapidly chanting another spell, a devilish ck hand engulfed in shadows appeared out of his back as it ignored all the obstacles and entered the shuttle.


    This devilish hand grabbed the box where the potion was kept before rapidly retreating.


    "Thief! Stop him!"


    BOOM!


    The loud sound of an automatic Rifle reverberated the next moment.


    The Shadow Mage could not react quickly enough, the shot sted almost half his face into a bloody mess as a shrill hissing sound reverberated.


    de looked to the left and he saw another mercenary, a ck man with gray metal arms who held the sniper rifle. Without a doubt, this guy was a mechanic and he was also here for the Shadow Mage.


    The shot didn''t kill the Shadow Mage and he already got what he wanted.


    His face regenerated rapidly on the spot as he chanted another incantation.


    "Nebbia d''ombra!"


    Bzzz!


    The mechanic unleashed another shot but the mage was gone, he disappeared into shadows. He disappeared but he didn''t escape.


    As soon as he disappeared, a certain Pugilist exploded forward with speed.


    "de Specialty: Poseidon''s Tsunami sh!"


    A tsunami seemed to apany the de of his sword.


    It made contact with the ground with force.


    BOOM!

 Chapter 521 Completing The Mission!

    ?


    "de Specialty: Poseidon''s Tsunami sh!"


    BOOM!


    As soon as de shed the ground with his Lightsaber, the sturdy street tiles could not withstand the force of his de, it copsed under its force.


    As soon as it copsed, something else was revealed under, a tunnel!


    At the moment that the Shadow Mage made an appearance, de marked him instantly with the help of his special talent. It was not exactly marking, but he used his precognition talent on the Mage.


    Unlike the first time when de just unlocked this special talent, he was no longer a novice, his understanding and power with the talent was now far higher.


    He was able to read almost about a dozen seconds ahead.


    This was how he knew the next few intentions of the Shadow Mage; it was also how he was able to detect the almost perfectly masked tunnel underneath.


    Boom!


    The Mechanic unleashed another shot but his target was already gone.


    de showed no fear as he charged into the tunnel alongside the Shadow Mage. Entering inside, he saw a tunnel that extended across a ridiculously long distance, he also saw the Shadow Mage escaping rapidly.


    Still in his humanoid form, shadows were everywhere around him as he ran. His legs did not touch ground, he stepped on shadows that propelled him hundreds of meters forward with each step.


    ''I can''t let him escape!'' de made his decision instantly.


    Literally pouring all his Pugilist energy into his legs, he erupted in pursuit as he seemed to turn into a powerful gale rushing underground.


    The Shadow Mage was not widening the distance, instead the distance between the 2 Grade B Supers was now lessening, he was incensed.


    ''I masked it with my concealment spell, how did he find the tunnel?''


    ''Was I betrayed? No! It''s this Pugilist!'' The eyes of this Shadow Mage narrowed as through the shadows; he observed his opponent.


    He could easily tell that this guy was stronger than most of the other mercenaries that he had met, he felt a bit frustrated.


    ''Who is this Pugilist? I''ve never met him before!''


    Despite his many thoughts, the Shadow Mage was experienced, he knew the priorities that were at hand and exactly what he needed to do.


    His mouth opened again as he started chanting incantations.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    sts of shadow energy wereunched towards de who was prepared.


    "de Specialty: de of Grit!"


    BOOM!


    One sh with his sword destroyed the 3 sts of shadow energy.


    The Shadow Mage was renowned for his elusiveness, his weird and escaping abilities, he was never known for his powerful spells andbat power.


    "Jon Stones'' Specialty: Obliteration Fist!"


    de brought the legacy of his mentor to the gctic society for the first time. Immediately after he blocked the sts of shadow energy, he retaliated.


    The Shadow Mage saw the attack but he could not dodge it effectively.


    He sank into the shadows as the Pugilist Energy mmed against them!


    The shadows shook, then a groan reverberated followed by blood.


    The Shadow Mage was yanked out of the shadows as he coughed blood, he red at the Pugilist who was now closer than ever with blood-shot eyes.


    His eyes were full of hatred and frustration!


    The next moment, his body morphed!


    He was no longer human; he was now a reptile!


    A strange reptile with rippling dark green scales, a long forked tongue like those of a snake, and extremely sharp ws and fangs.


    "Hisss¡­!!!" He snarled aggressively but de was not deterred.


    "de Specialty: de of Defiance!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Seeing the approaching sword energy, this Reptile screamed as from its'' opened mouth, green poison came pouring out like an avnche.


    The poison overpowered the pugilist energy as he started chanting an incantation again. This time it was longer and the arcane energy fluctuation in the air was more powerful, de felt threatened.


    He no longer held back; he used one of his strongest abilities.


    "de Specialty: Twilight; Dawn of Doom!"


    BOOM¡­!!!


    The Reptile could not even react, one moment he was chanting his incantation, the next moment, everywhere turned ck like it was midnight.


    Then from the darkness rose up a silvery light like the dawn of day.


    The only problem was that, this time, it was not the dawn of day, it was the dawn of doom!


    Watching the sword energy rapidly elerate towards him, this Reptile saw his life sh before his eyes, he felt fear for the first time in a long time!


    He abandoned his incantation as he leaped up like a frog the next moment, not caring about the ground above as he mmed against it, injuring himself in the process but the pain from this was not the most significant.


    Despite reacting so fast, the de still caught its mark, the left hand of this Reptile was cleanly cut as ck blood poured out of his body like a flood.


    "HISSS¡­!" He hissed loudly in pain as he arrived back on the surface.


    Unfortunately for him, a certain mechanic was waiting for him here at the surface. Aiming with his Rifle, this mechanic pulled the trigger again.


    Boom!


    The Reptile was injured even more as anothermotion started.


    The Reptile became desperate. ''I can''t fight 2 grade B mercenaries!''


    ''I need to escape!''


    ''I need to escape!''


    The Mechanic pulled the trigger again but shadows appeared as he dodged, showcasing incredible agility as the shots only hit his afterimages.


    As he observed, he noticed a dark alley where his shadow powers would be even more amplified. ''That''s my escape route!''


    Without hesitation, he charged towards there while dodging the powerful shots being unleashed by the mercenary Mechanic.


    Just before he got to the alley though, he felt a familiar presence. ''No!''


    "Exclusive Special Talent: Demi-Singrity!"


    Bzzz!


    "Demi-Singrity Ability: Explosive Burst!"


    "Demi-Singrity Ability: Gravity Well!"


    BZZZ!


    It was like the god of Gravity himself descended!


    Just before he could take the bend into the alley, the Reptile stopped, the incredible pull of the gravity well affected him. To the despair of this reptile, he started being pulled backwards.


    He was horrified. ''No!''


    de closed his eyes for total concentration.


    "Demi-Singrity Ability: One-hit Kill!"


    Instantly, he felt his vitality drop by half. At this moment, he felt in the zone state, that was why he took the gamble of activating this ability.


    This was the only way to kill this Reptile and prevent it from escaping again.


    Then he did it.


    "de Specialty: Singrity sh!"


    SHING!


    The rest was history.

 Chapter 522 Rapid Progress

    ?


    The Reptile was killed with one overwhelming sh!


    This region of Crimson Curtain was silenced!


    "The Shadow Mage is dead!"


    Looking at his dead body lying on the streets, the frightened onlookers could not believe it, they felt like they were dreaming.


    "The Shadow Mage is dead!" They repeated it to convince themselves.


    Cheers erupted across this street the next moment as they celebrated the death of this notorious thief and assassin.


    The highlight fell on a single Pugilist with his sword.


    Standing with his Lightsaber, de looked down at the corpse that he just killed with an indifferent look on his face, he flicked the blood off his de before keeping it back in its sheath.


    "Yo! That was some sick sh*t you just pulled bro!"


    "I don''t think you''re from the hoods around here nigga, I''ve never seen you before". The ck Mechanic came closer. "Nice to see you brother, I''m Tom!"


    He extended his hand for a handshake.


    de looked at the hand, he seemed to hesitate for a moment but he took it in the end. "I''m de".


    "Damn! So scary!" Tom reacted exaggeratedly, forming a scary face.


    Uranus finally arrived at the scene, panting. "Not fair Uncle!"


    "You took all the credit!"


    de looked at him. "The mission ispleted, let''s go back".


    "Wait!" A loud voice called the next moment.


    de recognized him, this was the Grade B guard of the Mayor.


    "Thank you young man, the Shadow Mage has been a terror across all neighborings for a long time, we''ve tried countless times without being able to kill him so we kind of gave up".


    "We never expected him to grow the guts to attack the mayor though".


    "Thank you".


    de nodded in reply.


    "The Mayor is interested in seeing his savior, do you have time to¡­"


    "No".


    "Huh?"


    "No, I don''t have time; I need to report to my master".


    "Oh, ok, he just wants to see your face then".


    "Ok". de finally went to meet the mayor who heaped praise on him and thanked him profusely before giving him his contact details.


    "Whenever you''re chanced, visit, I hope to take care of you".


    "We will!" Uranus answered excitedly.


    While in the process of leaving the, the ck Mechanic met him again. "Yo, nigga, I see you''re on your way to submit the bounty?"


    "Yes".


    "Mind if I tag along?"


    de simply looked at him without answering, he instead nodded.


    Entering the same transport ship, they finally started their journey to Crimson Ring. "So, I noticed something, it seems you''re not yet in an official mercenary group, what do you think about partnering up with me?"


    "You see¡­"


    "Not avable". de interrupted him.


    "Umm¡­, ok, let me just tell you the benefits to partnering up with me first". He rubbed his hands excitedly.


    "You see, I worked in my father''s workshop all my life until he died, that was when I was unleashed and pursued a career as a mechanic in the mercenary union".


    "I''ve been sessful alone so far".


    "I''m extremely resourceful. With me, we can never be stuck in space, I can work with the tiniest of metals to create something out of nothing that can save us from most life-threatening situations, it''s OP right? I know". Heughed.


    "If webine this quality of mine with your incredible power¡­" He shifted closer to de. "Just imagine how OP of a mercenary duo we''ll make".


    de turned his head to re into his eyes. "Not avable".

    The hyperactive activities of the yers fattened Legs'' coffers.


    His experience points were increasing with rapid efficiency as this gave him all the motivation that he needed toze about and watch the tournament.


    Compared to the National tournament, the International Dominator tournament was even yed faster. The individual battles were already in the quarterfinal stage where 8 yers would stage it out in a battle to the death.


    Only 1 Chinese yer made it to this stage, Desert Gust.


    As for the team battles, it was already the Semi-final which was being fought today and it was between the only surviving Chinese team vs an English team.


    [International Semi-Finals:]


    [Team Blue Autumn vs Team Manchester Warriors!]


    The battle was intense and exciting!


    Seated in his room with a bucket of popcorn beside him, Legs enjoyed the thrill of this exciting semi-final alongside millions of yers all over the world.


    Like usual, the Sword God Raining Sword was the cornerstone of his team as he led them to put up a good fight against the imposing English side.


    After multiple versions of growth, Ghost Sentry was no longer the na?ve newbie who just made his debut in the professional scene, he was the undisputed 2nd best in the Blue Autumn team as he gave his best to support his captain.


    Despite trying their best to get the first kill which they seeded at, they sacrificed too much as the aggressive counterattack of their English opponents made them lose 2 teammates in quick session.


    The battle was being fought inside aplicated rain forest.


    As soon as Blue Autumn lost 2 yers at once, they lost momentum. They tried to follow their original n to retreat and regroup with their 6th yer after losing a yer but the aggressive English opponents did not let them.


    They lost their 3rd yer during their retreat, leaving only 2.


    Those 2 desperately retreated to meet their 6th yer.


    Their 6th yer was Horny Assassin, the battle already seemed to be lost, this famous yer clearly couldn''t do anything right? So they thought but Horny Assassin proved them wrong in the grandest of stages.


    [You have made use of Character Summon Card: Grandmaster Beast Tamer!]


    >Grandmaster Beast Tamer: All your beast taming attempts on beasts weaker than you seed 100% of the times. For beasts of the same grade, they seed 90% of the time whole for stronger beasts, there is a 45% sess rate<


    Horny Assassin was unleashed as soon as he activated this character summon card, he transformed his entire battle style on the spot!


    Running around the massive rain forest, Horny Assassin tamed every beast on sight. By the time that the duration of the character summon card was finally exhausted, Horny Assassin already tamed 8 Grade D Beasts.


    Adding those 8 powerful Grade D Beasts to the remaining 3 yers in team Blue Autumn, it became 11 vs 5, the English side stood no chance.


    Team Blue Autumn steamrolled their way to a famous victory.


    At the end of it, only one''s yer''s name was sang in poems.


    "Horny Assassin!"


    "Horny Assassin!"


    Seated inside his room in the old Commander''s home, Legs stuffed more popcorn into his mouth, he had a wide smile on his face.


    "That''s my boy".

    "My nigga, I''m tellin ya, allying with me is the best decision that you can ever make, I mean¡­"


    "Stop following me!" de''s voice was cold.


    The ck Mechanic sighed loudly. "You''re so strong yet so dense, my papa once told me of this weirdbination, I shoulda believed him nigga".


    "I mean, what''s there to lose nigga?"


    "You''re strong, you''re a Grade B Pugilist, there are few things in the Minerva Star System that can threaten you apart from the ruling mother*ckas!"


    "Just imagine allying with me nigga!"


    He went ahead de as he pounded his fists for emphasis. "Imagine it nigga! It''ll be f*cking heaven on earth!"


    "We''re here". An exasperated voice sounded.


    de turned to look at Uranus. "Yeah, we''re here, let''s leave".


    As soon as the transport Spaceship arrived at Crimson Ring, de did not hesitate as alongside Uranus, they went straight towards the old Commander''s massive home where he guessed his master was.


    "Stop following me!" de touched his Lightsaber.


    "Hold it bro, my nigga, chill!"


    The ck Mechanicughed and scratched his messy beard. "I did my research, I see you''re in a mercenary group already, let me tell you an exclusive secret mah nigga¡­"


    "Stop following me!" de''s eyes narrowed.


    The Mechanic deted. "Ok nigga, I want to join your mercenary group".


    de''s eyebrows raised in skepticism.


    "Don''t give me that look man, I want to see what''s so special about this group that you won''t even think about allying with a cool nigga like me".


    "Those bloody cackus better be worth it". He gritted his teeth.


    de silently looked at him for a few seconds. "Follow me".


    A few minutester, they were inside the home of the old Commander but de was surprised, his master and Christensen were nowhere to be seen.


    Sonia and Nagana, the Blood Monk were the only Grade B Supers in the base, both were currently now in a courtyard outside ying chess.


    Over time, these 2 Supers already developed a close bond.


    de went to meet them. "Where is my master?"


    Sonia turned to look at him with a disinterested look on her face. "How should I know?"


    The Blood Monk was friendlier as with a smile on his face, he answered. "I think they went to meet some Nak billionaire".


    "A billionaire?" de was surprised.


    "Yeah, I heard he''s the father of that Nak captain that we saved".


    "Oh". de finally understood. "It''s about the mercenary group then, I''ll goplete the finishing processes".


    Nagana nodded. "Goodluck, by the way, who''s the new guy?"


    "He''s Tom, our newestrade".


    ¡­


    A few minutester, alongside Tom and Uranus, de was back in the headquarters of the Mercenary Union.


    He met the tiger headdy again at the 44th floor of the building.


    Bam!


    "It''s done". de dropped a bloody sack on the table.


    The tiger headdy opened the sack slightly only to see the severed head of a Reptile inside. She closed it then she turned to look at him with a smile.


    "Congrattions, you havepleted thest registration process".


    She bent down behind her counter the next moment as she seemed to search for something. While she did this, she exined.


    "The bounty of the Shadow Mage is 1.2 million Gctic Credits".


    "We can take the bounty?" de was surprised.


    The tiger headdy finally stood up with a smile. "Yes, it shall be recorded as the firstpleted B Grade mission of your mercenary group".


    "The more high grade missions that your mercenary grouppletes, the higher your rating would be in the mercenary union which will also determine the level of missions that would be avable to you".


    "There are 5 mercenary group ranks in the mercenary union".


    She smiled and raised five fingers. "There''s the Grade 5, Grade 4, Grade 3, Grade 2, and the highest, the Grade 1 mercenary groups".


    "There are only three Grade 1 mercenary groups in the Minerva Star System".


    "So what grade is ours?" de asked with a neutral look on his face.


    "Originally, with the strength of your mercenary group, it should be Grade 3 but due to special circumstances¡­" She smiled and fished out the official registration paper of the new mercenary group.


    "Fill the name of the mercenary group, have you not thought of a name?"


    "¡­"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    de was stumped.


    Uranus intervened to save his uncle. "Our army back home is called the Nightmare Army, I think dad would also call it the Nightmare mercenary group".


    de nodded. "Write that".


    "Ok". With a smile, the tiger headdy wrote it on the front of the paper, stamped it, registered it in the union''s database before presenting it to him.


    "Congrattions, the Nightmare Mercenary group is now official".


    Tom peeked into the paper as de held it.


    >Nightmare Mercenary Group<

    "¡­!" Tom''s eyes widened in shock.


    ''They have a Nak Champion in their ranks?!''


    ''Damn! And 6 Grade B Supers before me?!''


    ''Besides¡­, I actually joined a Grade 2 Mercenary group!''


    ''Holy f*cking shit nigga, I hit the jackpot!''


    ¡­


    "Sorry, I was not able to ask your name the other day, I was just shocked". He smiled in embarrassment. "I heard your name is Legs, nice to meet you, thank you for saving my life again that day".


    Legs smiled. "It''s what any human should do".


    "I wish every human could be like you". A deeper voice reverberated.


    Looking up, Legs and his student finallyid their eyes on the billionaire dad of the Nak captain that they rescued about a week ago.


    Like the old Commander said, this old man was a retired General of the Nak Navy as evident from the military attire that he currently wore, he spent decadesmanding some of the Nak Navy''s strongest warships.


    "It''s an honor to meet you, Major". Legs and Christensen greeted respectfully.


    The old manughed loudly. "It''s been long since anyone called me by that title¡­, it''s my fault though". Hemented. "I rarely go out these days".


    "Anyways, thank you for saving my weak andzy son".


    The middle-aged captain red at his father who looked back at him in azy manner. "Did I say anything wrong? If you think so, prove me wrong".


    "Dad, you''re embarrassing me!" He gritted his teeth.


    As father and son bickered, Legs felt like chuckling.


    When they were finally done, they left to eat dinner where they finally got time to familiarize themselves. It was in the process of familiarizing themselves that Legs identally spoke of his newly created mercenary group.


    "Oh! You created a mercenary group?" The billionaire Major was surprised.


    "That''s a bold move". He dug his teeth into another chunk of meat before he continued. "I like your boldness".


    He chuckled. "Since you helped myzy son, I won''t mind helping you".


    "I will let my son send you some money to assist you".


    "Also, though I''m retired I still have some connections in the Nak Navy". Speaking of the navy, he smiled with pride. "If you have some trouble sorting out new warships, you can ask for my help, I can ease some inconveniences".


    The old Major was all smiles as he casually threw these promises.


    Legs was not hypocritical, he stood up. "Thank you for your help, Major".


    A few minutester as he left with his student, his gcticmunication device beeped.

    As soon as the Nightmare Mercenary Group officially became a thing, every single member of the mercenary group received this message to theirmunication devices but the yers reacted in a frenzied manner to it.


    The 50 yers who followed Legs became some of the very first yers to be gctic citizens, they screenshotted and uploaded with pride.


    For a short time, their uploads caused amotion in the yer forum.


    It didn''tst long though, this was because there was an even greater cause ofmotion across all forums in Dominator, the final of the International Dominator tournament would finally start today!


    It was a sh of absolute titans and behemoths!


    [Team Blue Autumn vs Team Busan diators!]


    After a scintiting tournament where they had to go through some of the best yers and teams in Dominator, the giant gaming clubs of China and South Korea made it to the final of the international dominator tournament.


    Today, they were finally about to sh to determine the first champions of the very first edition of the International dominator tournament.


    The atmosphere was electric in the virtual stands of the arena.


    "Sword God Henry!"


    "Sword God Raining Sword!"


    "Sword Apprentice Ghost Sentry!"


    "Horny Demon!"


    "Horny Demon!"


    Chants like this reverberated from the fans representing China.


    Over the course of the tournament, Horny Assassin already became a fan favorite and having gotten the nickname of Horny Demon, the chants of the fans proved his current poprity.


    As a tournament already transcending local club rivalries, the fans from China all threw their support behind their only representative to make it to the final. They wanted their country to take the ultimate honor.


    While the Chinese did this, the Koreans did notg behind.


    "Haze God Hye Seung!"


    "Haze God Hey Seung!"


    The Koreans didn''t bother to use trantions of their local names, they registered for the international tournament with their local usernames.


    Their fans were also loud as they cheered on their yers.


    Amid the electric atmosphere, the final finally started.


    [Final Battle: Team Blue Autumn vs Team Busan diators!]


    [Location: Cuarel- Wild North!]


    [Battle Duration: 30 minutes!]


    It was 30 minutes of a nerve-wracking tactical game!


    The location for every phase of the tournament was random and decided by the game A.I to prevent any cases of rigging and favoritism.


    This time, the location that was decided by the A.I was the cold wild north of Cuarel and unfortunately to Team Blue Autumn, it slightly gave their opponents the advantage.


    Team Busan diator''s Ice Elementalist felt at home in here.


    Despite this though, one specific ss determined the game again.

    Team Busan diators came prepared for Horny Assassin''s messed up character summon card as they brought their own Summoner to counter it.


    Of course, no Summoner yer could counter it but they tried their best and with the advantage brought by their Ice Elementalist, they were able to tilt the odds of the game back to an even one as they battled it out.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    For minutes, both sides chipped at each other''s health points in an exciting disy of peak strength currently essible to the yers.


    The strongest yers were currently at the Grade D+ realm.


    Raining Sword was at his best as he disyed his incredible power.


    He led his team perfectly, taking advantage of the terrain and a lot of other tiny details to try giving his team the advantage but it didn''t work.


    Their opponents were not any weaker, and their captain, Hye Seung was also in the zone state as he caused a lot of disruption with his magic staff.


    20 minutes in, no clear winner was yet to be decided.


    Both teams already lost 3 yers each, the remaining 3 battled it out to the death but the problem was that all their health points was already low.


    For some reason, despite the intensity of thesest moments of the game, Ghost Sentry and Raining Sword selflessly protected Horny Assassin.


    Against the most elite pro yers, Horny Assassin still didn''t make the cut and was why his 2 teammates had to sacrifice for him.


    With their health points already critically low, they could only do so much, Raining Sword and Ghost Sentry took one yer down with them.


    Horny Assassin, Hye Seung, and another Korean yer became the only ones remaining in the Wild North arena and all their health points were already critically low, this was when Horny Assassin did it.


    [You have made use of Character Summon Card: Uranus- Titan Strength!]


    "F*ck! These things should be banned!"


    The Koreans despaired.


    As soon as Horny Assassin triggered this character summon card, he felt so full of power, he felt like the god of war!


    He was exhrated. "I-I feel so powerful!"


    "So much power!"


    "Hehe¡­, it was worth it befriending the Army Commander!"


    Bam! Bam!


    The Koreans desperately attacked him but he shrugged it away.


    When he lifted his sword again though, the Koreans saw theirst of the game.


    "When you reach the gates of hell, tell them Horny Assassin sent you". This yer was smug and his fans absolutely loved it.


    He swung his sword in one final devastating sh!


    BOOM!


    The Koreans did not survive it, both died to this devastating sh!


    Horny Assassin won Team Blue Autumn the first edition of the International tournament, the fans exploded in a crazy frenzy as he was immortalized!


    "Horny Demon!"


    "Horny Demon!"


    The cheers and roars exploded through the roof!


    ¡­


    On his way back from the billionaire Major''s home, Legs watched the final of the International Dominator tournament.


    Like usual, he had a wide grin on his face. "My boy!"


    "Huh?" Christensen looked at him.


    "Nothing". Legs rubbed his nose. "My boy just made me proud".


    Christensen thought his master was bing weirdertely but he was used to it, he ignored it but he asked again. "You still haven''t told me where we''re going".


    Legs looked ahead outside the shuttle.


    About a week ago, he asked the old Army Commander. ''Do you know of any man called Old Man Gu?''


    The old Commander''s reply was interesting.


    Legs looked at his student. "We''re going to meet a rabbit".

 Chapter 525 Old Man Gu, The Seer Rabbit

    ?


    A week ago¡­


    Inside the rxation garden of the old Nak Commander.


    "You again?"


    Legsughed. "Your senses are indeed as sharp as a beast".


    The old Commander snorted. "You don''t tter for nothing, tell me what you want".


    "I have a question".


    "Another one?"


    "Yes".


    "Ugh¡­" He groaned. "I hope it better be worth my time".


    "I hope so too". Legs came closer and sat beside him before looking at his face. "Do you know of any person called Old Man Gu?"


    The old Commander''s face twitched.


    Legs took that hint. "You know him!"


    The old Commander groaned. "That f*cking old scammer Rabbit!"


    Legs was surprised. "A Rabbit?"


    "Of course, he''s a rabbit, a Seer Rabbit who sullies the reputation of all Seers in the universe".


    Legs raised his brows in curiosity.


    The old Commander seemed to have gotten something to motivate him into finally talking. "Old Man Gu is the worst, a Seer who totally lost his way as a Seer".


    "He scams people without remorse".


    "He''s a sly old Rabbit". He gritted his teeth.


    "He steals people''s f*cking wives!" He spat out with hatred as he stood up and clenched his fist like he was about to punch an invisible Old Man Gu.


    "Umm¡­" At this point, Legs was already regretting asking the question.


    The old Commander easily noticed his reaction, he snorted in annoyance. "I hate talking to you sometimes, you know how to rile me up so easily".


    He sat back down. "Yeah yeah, I''ll tell you, when I was still a young, ambitious, and fiery Nak warrior aspiring to be a future Commander, there was this Silver Crest girl that I met".


    "It''s forbidden for Champions to marry outside but you know¡­"


    Legs was shocked. "You were a Champion?!"


    "Allow me talk!" The old Commander roared at him.


    "Sorry".


    He continued like nothing happened. "You know, the vigor and rebellious phase of youth made me go after her despite all the red gs".


    "In the end, I was able to charm her, she loved me back".


    "Until that old scam came along". His face twisted in hatred.


    "He scammed the love of my life and stole her away, THAT F*CKER!"


    Legs shifted a bit in his chair to escape the wrath. "Umm, why do I feel that there''s a backstory that you didn''t tell me?"


    "No backstory!"


    "I once heard Champions are not allowed to marry outside and the penalty for breaking that will not be suffered by the Champion but by thedy".


    "Yes, they sometimes execute girls who are bold enough to marry Champions, that scam stole her heart by telling her he was saving her from sure-death, the nerve of that old Rabbit!"


    "Umm¡­"


    "Um, what?"


    "Nothing, haha¡­" Legs chuckled. "He''s a really big scam and fool!"


    "You think so right?"


    "Yeah!"


    "Get lost". The old Commander pushed Legs away.


    He chuckled. "You know, you''re the worst at licking boots, sometimes you even seem toozy to care about it and it sets you apart from the others".


    He looked at Legs. "By the way, how did you know Old Man Gu?"


    "That old f*cker is not fond of giving his real name around".


    "I can''t say". Legs replied seriously. "Anyways, I need your help, do you know where Old Man Gu is? I want to meet him".


    "I don''t keep tabs on that fool but I think I once signed a documentst week of his trade group requesting that they wille to trade soon".


    "Ahh, what time?"


    The old Commander checked. "In 8 days".


    "Thank you old man, I really appreciate".


    ¡­


    "Who are we going to meet?" Christensen asked.


    "We''re going to meet a Rabbit". Legs looked into the distance as a lot of things went through his mind, he felt tense.


    ''Old Man Gu, what is his rtion with Maximus?''


    ''Does he know of earth?''


    ''What if this Old Man Gu is not the one I''m looking for? What if he is different and I end up revealing my identity before this one?''


    ''I can''t do that''. His eyes narrowed. ''I need to n appropriately''.


    The shuttle moved swiftly and in no time, they arrived above a boisterous market. This was where Old Man Gu set up his trade fare.


    Looking down at the market, Legs could see a huge canopy stall that was shaped like a Turtle. On top of it was written familiar words.


    >Old Man Gu''s Hut<


    >The trade fare that people love<


    Legs'' eyes narrowed. ''Sounds like the Old Man Gu that the old Commander spoke of, but does it sound like the one Maximus spoke of?''


    ''I don''t know''.


    He sighed before entering inside with his student.


    Inside this trade fare was boisterous, everything was literally present inside. From weapons to perishablemodities, the hut had it all.


    It was a multi-star cluster trade fare that traded goods internationally.


    Walking around with his student, Legs saw a lot of things that caught his eye but he was not in the mood to pay attention to them. All his mind was on one name and one person, Old Man Gu.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Throughout the first day of the trade fare, Old Man Gu did not make an appearance, it was not until the 7th andst day that he finally came out.


    He took a podium and was about to give a speech.


    Legs observed the Rabbit.


    Old Man Gu was a brown Rabbit, some of his hairs were already turning white from old age. He didn''t look like a Seer to him but there was an air of wisdom radiating from him as he climbed the stage.


    ''Perhaps he is the one''.


    ''But I don''t even know what I should tell him?''


    ''Should I just call him aside and tell him the truth? No, that''s too risky''.


    ''I''ll need to test him first to confirm some things''.


    The Rabbit gave a short but captivating speech about the importance of the most anticipated phase of his trade fare, the green world auction.


    This was where the most important goods in the trade fare would be.


    Legs'' eyes narrowed. ''A green world auction¡­, is that a hint?''


    As soon as Old Man Gu climbed down the podium, Legs told Christensen to stay while he went after the old Rabbit backstage.


    Grade B Supers were the strongest in attendance today and they were only 3, being one of the strongest Supers here, Legs easily snuck after the Rabbit.


    Just before he could enter his room to prepare for the auction, Legs intercepted and grabbed the rabbit by the arm.


    He had a wide smile on his face.


    "Maximus". He said casually.


    The Rabbit had a bright smile on his face like when he climbed the podium to address his customers. "Who''s that dear sir? I don''t know him, it seems you have lost your way, that''s the way to pay for the auction". He pointed at the opposite direction.


    "You just need 10 million credits to be a part of the auction".


    "I''m sure that you will see a treasure that will please you".


    With a polite smile, he pushed his hand away and entered his room.


    Returning to meet his student, Legs had even more thoughts in his mind. ''His reaction waspletely normal, did I misjudge?''


    ''Is this not the Old Man Gu that Maximus spoke of?''


    ''But he told me to attend the auction? Is that a test on his part?''


    ''I don''t understand, everything is just based on spection''. He felt a headacheing as he rubbed his head in frustration.


    ''Do I need to spend 10 million credits just to confirm this?''


    "Announcement to all VIP customers, please make your way to your rooms to be summoned to the green world, the auction will start in 5 minutes".


    A loud voice announced from the hidden speakers.


    Legs gritted his teeth. "Christensen,e on, let''s go".


    Going to their rooms, Legs paid 10 million to ess the green world.


    Throughout, Christensen never said a word. Knowing his master thoroughly, he could already tell that something was wrong, he only observed.


    Once they were seated in their room, they wore the VR helmets that they were given after paying then the next moment they appeared in another world.


    Bzzz!


    It was a world filled with green mist.


    About a hundred customers were seated in a round formation.


    Legs'' eyes narrowed even more. ''Green mist¡­''


    The auction finally started.


    "300,000,000 Credits bid for the Jade Dragon''s tooth!"


    "300 million going once!"


    "300 million going twice!"


    Bam!


    "Sold!"


    A lot of different expensive goods were ced on disy as the wealthy customers in attendance splurged money, purchasing different things.


    Among the 150 goods in the auction, like 20 captured Legs'' attention but he was unable to ce his total attention on them, his mind was disorganized.


    "Auction good #89".


    "This is an extremely rare ancient book that our leader, the Rabbit Seer himself unearthed during one of his famous journeys round the universe".


    "It is rumored to be a relic of an ancient civilization".


    "It is called the Book".


    "Starting bid for the Book is 5 million credits".


    "6 million credits for the Book".


    "7 million credits for the Book".


    Legs remained distracted but the unusual bidding attracted his attention. In almost all the others, powerful bidders instantly skyrocketed the price but for this item, they didn''t seem as interested and it attracted his attention.


    He looked at it and his eyes widened in shock.


    The title of this book was written in English!


    >Nursery Rhymes for Kids<


    ''F*ck! I almost missed it!''


    "20 million credits for the Book!" He roared; Christensen looked at him in shock but said nothing.


    "22 million credits for the Book!" Another voice said.


    "30 million credits for the Book!" Legs roared again.


    No other voicepeted with him. In their opinion, it was not worth it, this book may as well turn out to be just a piece of useless shit after buying it.


    They prepared their money for other goods so they no longer bid.


    "30 million going once!"


    "30 million going twice!"


    Bam!


    "Sold!"

 Chapter 526 The Truth

    ?


    The auction was finally over.


    "Sir, please go this way to verify your payment and collect your good".


    "Thank you". Legs nodded at the beautiful mutated human.


    This time, as he walked, his mind was no longer filled with so many worrying thoughts, it was now just filled with curiosity to know more about Old Man Gu.


    ''Nursery rhymes? Damn Maximus, you should do better!''


    Like he expected, he was not being led to the official counter in the trade fare to verify payment and collect his good, he was being led to another exclusive one where special goods above a billion credits were verified.


    This was the VVIP verification room.


    Before entering inside, Legs stopped his student. "Wait for me outside".


    Christensen silently looked at his master, then he nodded.


    Opening the door, Legs entered inside.


    It was a dimly lit room with 2 chairs and a single table, the familiar book was on the table and the only other person in this room was a familiar Rabbit.


    With his hand behind his back while facing away, the dim light reflected his shadow. Legs silently walked in as he observed the Rabbit at close range.


    "Damn, I''m still good". The Rabbit suddenly said, his voice sounded smug.


    "¡­" Legs only looked at him.


    "Legs, you know, looking into the threads of fate is not always an easy job. Sometimes, I end up injured and sometimes, I even end up in aa".


    "To counter this like any other Seer, I learned to read through the lines".


    "Instead of shing directly with the indomitable power of fate and history, we Seers instead learn to thread the thin line, read vague signs and interpret".


    "When I read the signsst 2 months, I almost couldn''t believe it".


    "I had to risk getting injured just to confirm that I didn''t read wrong".


    He finally turned to look at him. "Wee, earthling".


    Endrick felt his heart rate elerate.


    "Maximus is not the only one bearing that name. When you called it to me, I knew it was 80% you already but I still had to confirm through the book".


    "Can you tell me, what is written in it?"


    "Nursery Rhymes for kids". Legs answered instinctively.


    This old Rabbit rubbed his nose awkwardly. "He really did it". He chuckled.


    "¡­"


    For a few seconds, Legs didn''t know how to reply, in the end he asked. "You really know Maximus?"


    "Yes, I knew him when he was still in this reality and he rode the Star Radler".


    "Reality?"


    "Yeah, you''ll understand in the future". The old Rabbit smiled. "He strictly warned me not to reveal too much to you, he said you''ll learn with time".


    Legs took a deep breath. "Whening here, I had a lot of thoughts, I thought I wanted to ask you many things but right now, I don''t even know what to say, I don''t know where to start from".


    The old Rabbit smiled. "Start from the basics, who was Maximus and how did I meet him?"


    He sat on a chair made to fit his side. "Well, Maximus saved me".


    "During his heyday, the universe knew him as the only one crazy and powerful enough to defy the 3 Universal Organizations, they called him the Mad Rogue but he gave himself another nickname".


    "Guess".


    "¡­" Legs could not.


    The old Rabbit chuckled. "Gigachad".


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    Endrick was bbergasted. ''Gigachad?''


    ''F*cking Gigachad? Damn, Maximus, you''re so shameless!''


    The Rabbitughed. "I feel so too".


    "You can read my mind?"


    "I can read the threads of fate that operates in this reality, by reading them and by risking minor internal injuries, I can read slightly into the future and minds so yes, I can barely read minds".


    "Ok, where is Maximus?"


    "He''s no longer here".


    "No longer here, as in, you mean in this reality, right?"


    "You catch on fast, yes". The Rabbit smiled.


    "So why did he even say I should look for you?"


    "To get an early start andmence the repair of the Star Radler".


    Having guessed that the Universal Treasure was slightly damaged due to hints before now, Legs was not surprised.


    "How?" He asked.


    The Rabbit stood up. "Before that, you need to see this".


    Waving his left hand, history seemed to rewind right there before Endrick.


    Bzzz!


    He seemed to be transported to an ancient battlefield in the past.


    A single spaceship traveled through space at a rapid speed, it could not enter warp travel due to interference but its speed was still off the charts.


    Behind this spaceship was an army of warships going after it.


    Over 300 warships went after this lone spaceship!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Leading these army of warships were over a dozen warriors, all Grade S Supers, Legs could tell from a nce due to a strange reason.


    "KILL HIM!" The one who seemed to be their leader, a Pugilist roared.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Singlehandedly, this spaceship that was not built for war repelled the power of all the attacks even as the warrior inside never attacked.


    The POV switched to inside the spaceship.


    There the warrior sat cross-legged.


    He had blonde hair and a stone-cold face. His facial features were familiar to Legs, his eyes widened. ''Maximus!''


    Powerful energy revolved around him even as his 6 contracted beasts also surrounded him in a circle. Amid this energy, he chanted strange and ancient incantations that seemed toe from the origin of this universe.


    The warrior was not alone with his beasts, there was someone else, Old Man Gu. With a frightened look on his ce, this old Rabbit watched on.


    This chase and attack continued for hours as the spaceship got more damaged. Yet, sitting cross-legged, this warrior focused only on his incantations.


    BOOM!


    Every attack damaged the spaceship more.


    After a long time, the spaceship became so damaged that it began leaving a trail of smoke across space, yet this durability was already unimaginable.


    This was when the warrior finally finished his incantation.


    His eyes turned white like those of a god, energy crackled around him.


    He muttered some words that Legs could not decipher.


    The next moment, the fabric of this universe seemed to be torn as a crack darker than ck appeared in the skies, seemingly extending to another reality.


    Maximus turned his head to look at the old Rabbit.


    "You have my instructions, follow them".


    "Guide him on how to restore the Star Radler to perfection".


    "We already had the first iteration who created the n, I am the 2nd iteration and I already perfected the n, help him execute the n".


    "Help him restore the Star Radler to perfection".


    Maximus smiled. "Life is a journey".


    BZZZZ!


    A powerful energy erupted that damaged the spaceship even more.


    Then riding on this energy, Maximus turned into a bright red streak that elerated into the crack in the fabric of this universe that seemed darker than ck. After a few minutes, everything was restored, Maximus was gone.


    His pursuers were frustrated.


    He was gone, the Star Radler was gone, Old Man Gu was gone.


    The story was not over though, the POV changed again.


    The Roronoa Star System¡­


    It was a thriving star system at the very ends of this universe and it was embroiled in a civil war. Amid the war, the ruins of the Star Radler appeared, such a powerful object appearing stimted the power of the local star.


    The star exploded into bright light!


    The Roronoa Star System was wiped out by the power that followed!


    The near extinction of the Roronoa Star System was not exactly caused by the civil war then, it was caused by the appearance of the Star Radler.


    After the power surge, the Star Radler hid itself, fading into gray mist.


    The story finally came to an end, Old Man Gu''s power calmed down.


    Legs was frozen in shock. A million thoughts were going through his mind, a million questions were going through his mind.


    Since the first day of his reincarnation, he had always been seeking the truth, for the first time ever, he received so much of the truth.


    Yet, there was still so much more that he didn''t know.


    The old Rabbit looked at him. "A millenniumter, you reincarnated".


    Legs took minutes to organize his thoughts, then he looked at the old Rabbit. "The perfect repair of the Star Radler, what does he mean?"


    "He already created the blueprint to repair and upgrade the Star Radler to it''s perfect state, he also provided some basic materials".


    Bzzz!


    Old man Gu teleported himself and Legs to a new location, a warehouse deep in the middle of nowhere.


    Inside this warehouse, Legs saw tons of high-grade metal alloys.


    "These are the basic materials for the repair of the Star Radler".


    "When you''re strong enough, you''ll get the blueprint and is where your journey to fully repair the Star Radler will start".

    All the yers disappeared out of the game.

 Chapter 527 A Long Time

    ?


    The yers were gone.


    A weekter¡­


    The Minerva Star System, Kronic Beam Ring.


    After more than 2 centuries since they were sent on the mission to the unknown and distant Star System to expand the mineral resource reserves of the Nak State, the Nak Navy force was finally back.


    They returned without receiving much fanfare.


    Of the warships that were sent out, only 6 returned alongside an unknown warship, a warship called the Legs Baron.


    Seeing through the transparent screen that was opened on the walls of the Legs Baron, Legs and hispanions finallyid their eyes on the home of the existence that had helped them win the war.


    Like Titania, it was a pure metal but it was even bigger.


    And unlike Titania that was untamed and undeveloped, Kronic Beam Ring was far more developed. Across the face of the gray metal, different gigantic structures were everywhere that engaged in different activities.


    From the distance, Legs could see humungous machines digging into the metal ground as they mined valuable ore.


    At other parts, he could see special machines transporting the mined ore to the factories where they would be purified for a mechanic''s use.


    The skies of this were not as congested with shuttles as Crimson Ring, only specific and designated shuttles roamed the skies.


    Literally no beasts or wildlife roamed this, everything was machine, the only beasts around were mechanic beasts.


    Atrge parts of this, something even more prominent were erected, more giant versions of the mechanic workshop that Champion Onana erected in Titania. Onana probably took his blueprint from this.


    Everywhere and everyone in this seemed busy.


    It was also a dreaded military outpost of the Nak Navy.


    This was Admiral Zhao, the War Mechanic''s home.


    Champion Onana''s familiar light frigate enabled them to escape the lengthy deep-scanning inspections at the space gates of this. Unlike others, there was a massive energy veil that covered this.


    Most Grade A Supers couldn''t even force their way in through the veil.


    As soon as they were verified, they went in.


    While all the warships were directed towards a special dock in the, only Champion Onana left and was allowed to enter the biggest building in the, the true home of the War Mechanic.


    Standing at more than 100 kilometers, Legs felt that this building towered up to heaven, it looked that imposing and majestic.


    Champion Onana spoke with his master for 15 minutes, giving the official report of their mission sess while reporting the major deaths including General Aztog''s before Legs was finally invited in with his students.


    Only Christensen, de, and Uranus could follow him in.


    Entering, he finally set his eyes on the Nak Admiral.


    Like Legs expected, despite being a mechanic, this Super was tall and imposing like a Pugilist. He had broad shoulders, a smooth-shaven chin uncharacteristic of old men and bright red hair.


    Staring at Legs, he nodded. "I''ve heard so much about you".


    "It is a pleasure, Admiral".


    The Nak Admiral stood up with a smile. "Thank you for saving my student''s life, small Ona would have never made it alive without your help".


    Champion Onana looked down.


    "No need to feel disappointed about it, you all achieved a great feat out there, killing a Grade A Beast and one of such power is not a simple feat".


    His eyes finally narrowed as they focused on Legs. "Entering the Underworld, surviving it and even taming some of its Demon Asuras, I must say that it''s been a long time since I ever met a Super like you".


    "Very few have the nerves to pull that off, and even fewer has the power".


    Legs gave a polite smile.


    Christensen, de, and Uranus were confused but they didn''t show it.


    Admiral Zhao stood up. "Do not worry, your secret is safe with me".


    He stood up. "I heard that you have a favor to ask of me".


    "Yes sir".


    "Making a Grade A soul carrier mechanic body is not a hard endeavor for me, but still, it''s a Grade A treasure, it''s invaluable".


    "Also, allowing you ess to headquarter your mercenary group in one of the major Naks is an invaluable favor in itself".


    He turned to look at Legs. "What can you pay me?"


    Legs turned to look at Champion Onana, not seeing him say anything he hesitated, then he looked at the Nak Admiral with a look of conviction on his face.


    "Tell me anything to do, if I can, I will do it to the best of my ability".


    Admiral Zhao smiled. "You please me".


    He threw a paper on the table, Legs looked at it and saw 7 powerful Grade A Beasts that he could never forget, his eyes narrowed.


    Admiral Zhao looked at him. "They call themselves the Beast Priests".


    "A Grade B Super like you shouldn''t have privy to this information yet but after your heroics in your maiden, I feel that you can surprise me".


    "My offer is this, actively hunt down the beasts working under the Beast Priests and search for any information that will let us know more about them".


    "Do this and for my student''s sake, I will fulfill your requests".


    "Deal?"


    "Deal".


    ¡­


    A weekter, 3s away from Kronic Beam Ring, Drifting Gaze where the Nightmare Mercenary group was headquartered¡­


    Today, the Commander of this mercenary group received a package.


    Ripping it open, Legs finally found what he wanted.


    ''Finally!''<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Like he promised, Admiral Zhao did a neat job, it was a mechanic body but having used nanotechnology and nanometals in its creation, it looked no different from a normal human body.


    This was to be Aaron''s vessel.


    Before doing it, Legs left Drifting Gaze having fused with Bran and traveled into the deep reaches of space out of the gaze of any onlooker.


    There, silently in space, he did it, tapping the gray apple tattoo on his wrist.


    For the first time in a long time, the power of the gray world stirred.


    Bzzz!


    A few seconds of powerful spatial fluctuationster, the eyes of the machine body glowed yellow, it came to life.


    Legs looked into those eyes. "Aaron, is that you?"


    The machine didn''t respond, an unfathomable expression was on his face as he inspected his hands, his legs, even as he touched his body round.


    His breath became shaky. "A-A real body, after so long¡­"


    When the machine finally turned to look at him, Legs understood that look in his eyes, gratitude.


    Aaron hugged Legs. "I am indebted to you for life".

    [Nightmare Mercenary group has been rewarded with 10,000,000 Gctic Credits!]


    [Your mercenary renown has increased!]


    Legs epted missions non-stop with his mercenary group.


    They roamed the stars across the territory of Nak Space, taking on different mercenary missions as they achieved incredible feats and earned a name for themselves, a Nak Champion being one of them also aided their journey.

    Legs developed and grew stronger alongside his crew.


    While they grew a name for themselves, they hardly stopped to rest and in the blink of an eye, it was already a year since they were in Nak Space.


    Legs obtained an important clue about the ns of the Beast Coalition, increasing his favorability with Admiral Zhao for the first time.


    5 years passed¡­


    The Nightmare Army finally made the great leap, they became only the 16th mercenary group to be recognized as a quasi-grade 1 mercenary group without having at least 1 Grade B+ Super in their ranks.


    Another 10 years passed¡­


    Legs broke his limits, after countless mercenary missions and putting his life in danger time after time in space, he finally became a Grade B+ Summoner.


    Since making their way to space, it was already 16 years and they all already underwent a lot of change both in power and personality, Uranus found a part of his inheritance and he was no longer a child.


    After bing a Grade B+ Summoner, Legs made a name for himself.


    His leadership qualities and crazy victories that he led his mercenary army to gave him the nickname the Nightmare Commander!


    The Nightmare mercenary group expanded with time.


    Now, they already had outposts in more than 6s.


    Time kept on moving, another 34 years passed¡­


    It was already 50 years since they arrived in gctic space.


    During this time, Legs and his students already became established veteran mercenaries of the Minerva Star System. The Nightmare mercenary group had hundreds of thousands of members spread across over 30s.


    On that fateful day though, everything changed.


    After more than 50 years since they left, the yers came back.

    ----


    As the 50 yers who went to space returned to see an entirely different world and Nightmare Army, on that fateful day also, a significant event happened across the Minera Star System.


    All electronic systems across the star system were hijacked.


    A certain beast was broadcasted everywhere¡­, the Beast King!

 Chapter 528 The Speech; The Warning!

    ?


    Somewhere in the Minerva Star System¡­


    Inside a floating city in one of the rxations of the Nak State, a certain couple were on vacation in a luxurious vi as they cuddled on the bed while watching a popr si that was stealing the limelight recently.


    "Babe, do you think Arthur will end up with Martha?"


    The man tilted his head in thought. "Umm¡­, their love triangle isplicated, I think¡­" He paused in shock.


    Bzzz!


    The scene in the television changed!


    It was no longer showing the popr love triangle si mixed with a lot ofedy, now, what seemed like a roaring head of a lion showed on the screen.


    This Lion head was not normal, it felt dangerous, ominous.


    Clearly, it was not real, it seemed to be the symbol of whatever this was.


    "Babe, what is this?" The womanined. "I can''t believe you''re still thinking of saving on money during our vacation".


    "Is the subscription already over? I thought¡­" She paused in shock.


    The next moment, the scene in the television changed again, it was no longer showing just a symbol, it was now showing an individual. No, a beast.


    The couple stared with wide eyes filled with terror.


    Despite it not being direct and being filtered through a screen, they felt like this beast was staring at their soul!


    They felt an unprecedented pressure from sheer power pressing against their chest, almost suffocating them as they were forced to focus on it.


    He finally spoke. "I am¡­"


    ¡­


    A popr beach in the Minerva Star System exclusive for the rich¡­


    This beach was full like usual. The technological innovations made beach parties much more enjoyable, children could be seen jumping around, ying on the water while their parents, some joined while others simply rxed.


    While they sun-bathed, they were surprised as something suddenly appeared above the ocean, it was a gigantic virtual projection.


    The first thing to appear was the symbol, the giant roaring Lion head.


    Then the real projection followed.


    They were all petrified in shock.


    A deep voice reverberated. "I am¡­"

    [Version 3: The Beast Coalition!]


    ----


    The hype for Dominator already grew more than an ordinary hype for a virtual reality game, it already transcended that and was now a religion.


    To a lot of the yers, Dominator was already their lifestyle.


    The update for Version 3 this time took 3 freaking months!


    The yers felt that they would already be dead from old age by the time that the update was finally done, they were more than hyped to y the new version after the incredible stunts pulled by the Army Commander in Version 2.


    The Cataclysm showed a glimpse about the limits of Dominator''s potential, and that glimpse already established it as the greatest VR game ever.


    Its realism was on a whole other level, everything was 10 stars.


    And unlike the update to version 2 that in-game went through a period of 5 years, the update between version 2 and version 3 this time was much longer.


    The yers would be returning to the game to see a Nightmare Army and mercenary group 50 years into the future than theirst time in the game.


    They were hyped to see everything.


    ''Is the Army Commander still the same?''


    ''Did he already be like those old monsters in cultivation novels?''


    ''Is the Nightmare Mercenary already a massive gctic power in space?''


    ''How much have we missed? Damn, I''m dying to see it all!''


    ''Besides, the leak said the new version is called the Beast Coalition and it''s the first version where yers from multiple beginners will really finally meet up in the game''.


    ''By now, we would finally be gctic warriors''.


    ''Damn, the Beast Coalition, the name does not sound as badass as the Cataclysm to me but I can''t wait to see what it offers''.


    Like this, riding the wave of the hype, a record number of even more new yers entered the game for the first time following this update.


    Like usual, they would not have to go all the way to start the storylines of Version 1 since it would not be realistic that way, they would skip everything and directly start from Version 3''s storyline.


    After the 10-minute countdown, they all logged into the game.

    As soon as this excited yer entered the game, he was not given the chance to admire his surroundings and the realism of this world.


    Bzzz!


    [You have been affected by a Supreme Talent: Beast- The Greatest Showman!]


    [For the duration of this broadcast, you will be entirely focused on what the beast is saying while fully believing in what he is saying!]


    [After the broadcast, there is a low chance of being indoctrinated into the gospel of the Beast King!]


    This yer''s attention was entirely focused on the virtual projection.


    He already forgot himself, he already forgot who he was and why he was here, all his attention was now thoroughly focused on this beast.


    Across the Minerva Star System, this same broadcast shown.


    Somehow, these beasts were able to hijack every electronic device, from phones, to military defense bases, even those of the Nak State and the Ackermann State, virtual projections made sure that it reached every nook and cranny.


    "I am Duhkha, the embodiment of Beast suffering¡­, the Beast King".


    Silence swept across an entire star system as all eyes, both young, middle-aged, and old focused on this single beast.


    The Beast King was a mutated Lion, a Demonic Lion.


    His skin was ck with red strips like magma from a volcano flowing through it. His mane was huge and flowing like a forest, and it was red with slight shades of yellow going through it, he seemed demonic through and through.


    He had a weird physique that could make him stand up like a bear.


    At this moment, this huge beast was sitting on a throne.


    "My name, Duhkha means suffering, unhappiness¡­" He paused. "Pain!"


    "When I was a cub, I grew up in a beast reserve with my family".


    "We lived as tourist beasts, a life I didn''t enjoy but I could live with¡­" He paused again. "That was until our Demon Race owners thought we were no longer entertaining enough for their satisfaction".


    "The day that they thought that, my whole family died, except me".


    "I can remember his scrutinizing eyes going over my body like he was appraising amonmodity". The Demonic Lion smirked.


    "I can never forget his words¡­, this one seems talented, he''d surely do well in the beast arena, he may even fetch us some cash".


    "That day, my whole life changed, I was dumped in the beast arena".


    "I was thrown into a chaotic prison where traumatized beasts like me were indoctrinated into ughtering each other as brutally as possible". He smirked. "For what?"


    His voice lowered dangerously. "For the entertainment of the onlookers".


    "I killed 10 beasts in desperation, earning my owners 11,000 Gctic Credits until I was brutally mauled by a beast more powerful than I am".


    "At the gate of death, I felt tired, angry, I felt frustrated".


    "I didn''t die though, hehe¡­" He grinned again. "Here I am".


    "An old dying Mandrill saved me with magic, I can still remember his dying words vividly like it was just yesterday".


    "He told me¡­, this is the life of a beast".


    "You know what I felt when he died?" He smirked, then from a smirk it turned into a grin before finally turning into an angry frown.


    "I FELT ANGRY!" He rose up from his throne as power exploded!


    Billions of souls shook in shock as they watched, millions fainted.


    Heughed like a mad Lion. "That was when I knew it, I finally understood the world that I was born in but I did not sumb to it".


    "That day, I birthed my ambition to be the liberator".


    "I vowed to be the Beast King that will liberate beasts from this life".


    He red into the screen. "We''ve been nning for centuries, now we are ready, we are called the Beast Coalition".


    "All I want is the release of every beast in very".


    His eyes narrowed. "It''s not a request, it''s an order".


    He smirked again. "I know how stubborn the so-called sentient races can be, I have a package ready for you though".


    "In 2 minutes, it will start".


    "Nothing can stop it, only the birth of the Beast Empire can stop it".


    "The Minerva Star System is just the start, the Universe is my end goal, not even the Universal Civilizations can stop me, I shall liberate every single beast that is living in very!"


    "With my Beast Priests, I shall storm all sentient life with misery!"


    "I shall give you all a taste of your own medicine!"


    "Even in death, my gospel cannot be stopped!"


    "It will only be stronger and more widespread!" He grinned. "Duhkha is not a beast; it is a symbol".


    "You can kill a beast to eradicate a problem from the roots".


    He grinned. "But you can''t kill a symbol".


    He spread his wide powerful arms. "A symbol is immortal".


    "A symbol is forever".


    He inclined his head to look at something. "Your time is up".


    "Wee to the era of the Beast Coalition!"


    On this day, the Minerva Star System experienced a change.


    It started!

 Chapter 529 Chaos!

    ?


    It started!


    Chaos!


    The speech of the Beast King seemed to have reopened old wounds, and its effects were immediate as the mes of a revolution were fanned from the dark.


    Somewhere in the Minerva Star System, a Beast trade consortium.


    This was one of the leading beast trade consortiums in the Minerva Star System, famed for selling beasts as either pets or even contestants in beastbat sports. Royalty patronized them which solidified their status even more.


    Their headquarters was located inside a massive, King Kong.


    They named it after their strongest ve beast, a Grade B Gori.


    On this day though, after listening to the words of the Beast King, King Kong no longer remained the same, it changed.


    "ROAR¡­!"


    "SCREEECH¡­!!!"


    The roars and shrieks of beasts reverberated as unrest spread.


    This whole was dominated by cages and arenas where beasts were held. Even during the speech, tourists were gathered in one of the arenas where they watched powerfulbat beasts ughter each other.


    They cheered excitedly as they watched blood being spilled.


    While this happened, changes happened among the beasts.


    The Grade B Gori was the first to wake up to the gospel.


    Beating his chest aggressively and angrily, it reverberated like drums of war!


    "We are no longer alone!" This Gori dered.


    "We are no longer isted and without backing!"


    "We are now part of something bigger!"


    "We are now part of the Beast Coalition!"


    "Let us snatch our future by our own hands!"


    For centuries, this consortium had managed their sessfully, getting more and more profit by each passing year, increasing the number of tourists that visited yearly but this year, today specifically, everything crumbled down.


    BOOM!


    The Grade B Gori broke out of his cage!


    Panic spread through this as the tourists were spooked.


    "Calm down, don''t panic, everything is under control". A voice reverberated through the speakers, trying to calm nerves.


    "We''ve been training these beasts for years, we know them".


    "This is just a normal beast agitation".


    "All their cages are built with top-tier materials, a single Grade B Beast cannot threaten our security, we have everything under control".


    The voice was still speaking when rm bells started ringing.


    Wom! Wom! Wom!


    Shock rippled through this!


    ''This rm¡­!''


    Somewhere inside the main building in this where the higher-ups of this consortium resided and led the consortium from, also where their most important assets were stored, one of the higher-ups left the meeting to take a piss.


    They originally called a meeting instantly after the speech.


    This higher-up, an Ackermann grabbed his head while in the toilet.


    He felt his blood temperature burn, he felt like his brain was on fire.


    A foreign influence was taking over and he tried to fight it.


    He could not prevail though, a few minutester, his eyes started shining with a fanatic light. "The Gospel of the Beast King!"


    "It must be heard by the whole world!"


    "All beasts must be saved and liberated!"


    "I can''t believe I''ve been brutalizing beasts for so long¡­" He copsed in tears right there in the toilet. "God, forgive me of my sins".


    "I will try my best to atone for my sins".


    Using a backdoor with his authority as one of the founding leaders of this beast consortium, he did not return to the meeting, rather he went to the hidden chamber underground where the machine controlling this was kept.


    The machine was gigantic, it was a server machine.


    This single machine controlled all activities in this. From the beast cages to the arenas to even the consortium buildings, it controlled everything.


    Only the top mechanic engineers had the required maic energy to safely work on it, it was lethal to anyone else that tried to tamper with it.


    This Ackermann citizen took a deep breath. "I''m doing this in atonement for my sins, take my life and let the gospel of the Beast King prevail".


    "Take my blood sacrifice and liberate the beasts of this".


    "Let the sphemy of this be cleansed".


    He touched the machine, then he pulled the override lever.


    Every single programmed order was overridden. Every beast cage across this was opened, and it was the reason for the warning rms.


    They received warning rms but it was already toote.


    "ROAR¡­!"


    Beasts charged out of their cages that were already opened.


    The Grade B Gori led the charge of all the beasts that were enved in this. The tourists were horrified as chaos suddenly filled this.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The beasts destroyed everything that stood on their path.


    Escaping from the was not easy though, the elite guards defending the consortium finally imposed their presence as they tried to suppress the beasts.


    They were seeding until other beasts came.


    Not just other beasts, it was an army of beasts that entered this''s atmosphere through warships and as for their leader¡­<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    They were led by a Grade A Beast!


    Standing at the head of one of the warships, the cockroach with a humanoid body withstood the pressure from gravity and the wind as he looked at the.


    The cockroach was not huge like other beasts, but his power could not be mistaken. On his forehead jutted out 2 horns made of metal.


    His hands and legs had metal spikes jutting out of them.


    He looked down at this.


    Aggressive maic energy revolved around his body.


    He spoke. "I, the Death Priest delivers the verdict of Duhkha!"


    "DEATH!"


    His words seemed to carry thews of nature with it.


    The beasts fully turned on their owners as they ughtered the humans.


    CHAOS!


    [You have been attacked by the deathw affinity of the Necromancy Cockroach!]


    [You have been marked for death!]


    [There''s a 60% chance of you dying in the next 30 minutes!]


    BAM!


    [You are dead!]


    The yers who worked in this suffered alongside their employers.


    Only 2 of the higher-ups in this consortium were able to escape the chaos.


    Everything else living that was not a beast became a corpse.


    Lifting out of this with the new beasts making up his army, the Death Priest was not done, he led his beast army towards the nearest.


    Again, they continued their destruction there.


    Chaos engulfed the Minerva Star System!


    Like the Beast King promised, his Priests really did their job,ing out in their numbers. 15 Beast Priests were recorded today as they ledrge armies of beasts into causing as much chaos and destruction as possible.


    Just the beasts would not be able to cause so much destruction like was shown in King Kong, the Beast King''s speech yed a crucial role.


    ¡­


    [Warning! You have been affected by the Beast King''s Supreme Talent!]


    [Warning! You have been indoctrinated into the Beast King''s gospel!]


    [You are now naturally part of the faction of the Beast Coalition!]


    [You are now a viin!]


    [Doing good no longer gives you experience points, only causing chaos as a terrorist of the Beast Coalition does, unleash your inner beast!]


    Thousands of yers were exposed to an entirely different aspect of Dominator, their ideologies and whole game was turned upside down by this.


    It showed that truly powerful viins could affect yers and that they were not indomitable even though they were more or less immortal.


    Even if the Beast King''s supreme talent only worked once out of a thousand tries, in a Star System housing billions of citizens, this was still a lot.


    Today was characterized as the day of the speech and the day of chaos.


    The 2 ruling states of the Minerva Star System simply couldn''t handle it.


    It also affected the bases of the Nightmare mercenary group but over 50 years of growth, Legs already spent a lot of time preparing for the inevitable.


    The Nightmare mercenary group coped better to the public appearance of the Beast coalition more than anyone else, even the armies of the Nak and Ackermann states, Legs had been waiting for this for 50 years.


    Amid the chaos, Legs and all the yers received a uniform notification.

 Chapter 530 The Beast Priests!

    ?


    Champion Onana left the management of this under the hands of a few subordinates and friend that he trusted. Alongside these few trusted subordinates, E helped them in managing the.


    50 years was a long period of time.


    During this period, Titania was not idle.


    Under E''s masterful leadership, this already morphed, already turning into an industrial behemoth that defined the new Roronoa Star System.


    During her 8 years tenure in charge, President Lydia thoroughly transformed Darvis into a thriving of this star system, colonizing Dearth.


    The subsequent presidents after her followed her advise in developing boths as one, citizens from Darvis could now freely ess boths. After 30 years of growth, Dearth was renamed.


    This became known as Darvis II.


    The strange thing was, the Beast King''s speech was only supposed to affect those in the Minerva Star System but due to a reason, perhaps the concentration of citizens from the Minerva Star System here, it also affected Titania.


    It was a normal day in Titania.


    Shuttles flew back and forth across the, ferrying different raw ore to the refineries where they were purified before being transported to the factories.


    In the factories, they were segmented for use in the mechanic workshops.


    Over 50 years of having ess to this mechanic heaven, E already fully transformed as a mechanic, bing a Grade B+ Technician Mechanic.


    Her umtion of mechanic knowledge after decades of trials and error was already at an outstanding level, the only thing preventing her from bing a Grade A mechanic yet was that moment of epiphany.


    This fateful day, while activities went on, everything paused.


    A certain mechanic paid more attention than the others.


    "I didn''t die though, hehe¡­" The Beast King froze every activity in this as he grinned again. "Here I am".


    "An old dying Mandrill saved me with magic, I can still remember his dying words vividly like it was just yesterday".


    "He told me¡­, this is the life of a beast".


    "You know what I felt when he died?" He smirked, then from a smirk it turned into a grin before finally turning into an angry frown.


    "I FELT ANGRY!" He rose up from his throne as power exploded!


    Billions of souls shook in shock as they watched, millions fainted.


    The Beast Kingughed like a mad Lion. "That was when I knew it, I finally understood the world that I was born in but I did not sumb to it".


    "That day, I birthed my ambition to be the liberator".


    "I vowed to be the Beast King that will liberate beasts from this life".


    He red into the screen. "We''ve been nning for centuries, now we are ready, we are called the Beast Coalition".


    "All I want is the release of every beast in very".


    His eyes narrowed. "It''s not a request, it''s an order".


    He smirked again. "I know how stubborn the so-called sentient races can be, I have a package ready for you though".


    "In 2 minutes, it will start".


    "Nothing can stop it, only the birth of the Beast Empire can stop it".


    "The Minerva Star System is just the start, the Universe is my end goal, not even the Universal Civilizations can stop me, I shall liberate every single beast that is living in very!"


    "With my Beast Priests, I shall storm all sentient life with misery!"


    "I shall give you all a taste of your own medicine!"


    "Even in death, my gospel cannot be stopped!"


    "It will only be stronger and more widespread!" He grinned. "Duhkha is not a beast; it is a symbol".


    Hearing this, that certain mechanic shuddered.


    He could feel something running through him like electricity, he was already enraptured by this gospel as tears started flowing down his eyes.


    "You can kill a beast to eradicate a problem from the roots".


    The Beast King grinned. "But you can''t kill a symbol".


    He spread his wide powerful arms. "A symbol is immortal".


    "A symbol is forever".


    He inclined his head to look at something. "Your time is up".


    "Wee to the era of the Beast Coalition!"


    Hearing this, it finally pushed this mechanic over the edge.


    The color in his eyes changed instantly.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    He fell on his knees as tears flowed down his eyes. "I have sinned".


    "Duhkha, I have sinned". He wailed in sorrow.


    "Due to greed, we invaded this alongside the Champion to aplish his selfish motives, we lured them out of their home before ughtering them far away from home to steal from them".


    "They are dead and we now happily enjoy their".


    "We massacred a whole race of beasts just to enjoy this!" This mechanic scratched his eyes in horror and sorrow for the atrocities that they caused.


    "Lord Duhkha, I am sorry, I am regretful of my sins!"


    "The best I can do is atone for them and pray for your forgiveness!"


    Standing up with a maniacal look in his eyes, this mechanic sabotaged and shut down the factory where he worked as he aggressively attacked his colleagues.


    The shock and surprise factor enabled him to kill 5 mechanics before he was finally subdued, yet he was not the only one who fell to the Beast King''s gospel.


    12 mechanics were convinced and converted by the Beast King''s speech.


    They caused a lot of destruction before they were finally subdued.


    Standing at the top of the highest building in this, wearing green military attire, E had a stern look on her face as she looked at the damage report.


    "Shut down all operations in the!"


    "I want a thorough cleansing operation!"


    "We have to be absolutely sure that more of those are not among us!"


    "Yes Chief!"


    Like it happened in Titania and as it happened in King Kong, simr situations of chaos happened in multiple others.


    The highlights though were the appearance of the Beast Kings.


    The Minerva Star System was under the Gundogan Star Cluster which was under the Emerald Chaos Star Field. In the whole Emerald Chaos Star Field, there were only 4 Grade S Supers.


    When broken down into the star systems, the next thing beneath the Grade S Supers were the Cmity Grades and they were not like sand on the seashore.


    They were rare, important, and extremely powerful individuals.


    The Nak State had only 14 known Grade A Supers and they were always stationed at important outposts of the Nak State but on this fateful day of chaos, the Beast Coalition pulled out a mind-boggling 9 Beast Priests!


    They caused the most destruction by a margin!


    The Necromancer Cockroach who called himself the Death Priest was the first to make an appearance, and the outstanding strength of this beast caused even more chaos as he left an ocean of blood and wailing souls in his wake.


    Following his appearance was an Apocalypse Bear, an absolutely ferocious Grade A Bear that called himself the Bear Priest.


    The next that made an appearance was a Devourer Shark who called himself the Devourer Priest, this powerful beast caused even more death and chaos, killing and devouring everything not beast-like in his path.


    The next was a Berserker Turtle who called himself the Turtle Priest.


    The 5th Beast Priest was a Speedster Wolf who left deadly afterimages and death in his wake wherever he moved, he called himself the Wolf Priest.


    The 6th Beast Priest to make an appearance was a Detective Dog.


    Calling himself Pinto, the Dog Priest, this absolutely powerful Dog showed his prowess as his nose was able to sniff acrosss, detecting every hidden prison and enclosure where beasts were held captive as ves.


    He arguably did the most in this first day liberation of beasts.


    Some of the biggest consortium''s hidden bases were discovered by him.


    As for the 7th Beast Priest to make an appearance, it was a Queen Valkyrie, a mutated Vulture who already attained an insane level of power. Without a doubt, she proved to be one of the strongest even among the beast priests.


    She called herself the Vulture Priest and backed it up with death to beast traders and vers, she left an even greater wake of death as she moved.


    The 8th Beast Priest to make an appearance was a cosmic horror even bigger than the Bug Emperor, this was an absolutely gigantic beast even bigger than mosts! It was a World Camel!


    This humungous beast called himself the Shelter Priest!


    Roaming around the territory of the Minerva Star System, unlike the others, his focus was not on causing death and chaos but on gathering the saved beasts.


    On his back was a literal made out of space energy.


    Inside the was 100 times bigger than what was seen outside.


    This was where all the beasts that were rescued on the first day of the Beast King''s message were transported to. Without a doubt, this Beast Priest yed an extremely important role in the Beast Empire n of the Beast King.


    Despite all these powerful and dynamic Beast Priests though, none of them caused the Nak and Ackermann States the most dread, it was thest Beast Priest.


    The 9th Beast Priest proved different than all the others and the perfect depiction of this was the emergency meeting now ongoing between the higher-ups of the Nak State.


    Admiral Zhao and all higher-ups of the Nak State were in attendance.


    The topic of discussion was projected on a screen before them.


    [The Destruction Priest- Doom Cow!]


    They looked at each other with dread evident in their eyes.


    "¡­"

 Chapter 531 The Destruction Priest- Doom Cow!

    ?


    "Report!" The President of the Nak State ordered.


    "Yes, Mr. President". A female Nak Colonel replied.


    A virtual screen appeared in the middle of this chamber showing different battlefields where the beasts tyrannically caused chaos and destruction for the rescue of theirpanions.


    "Multiple battle reports have been made across 40% of thes in our jurisdiction and our stationed navy posts are being overwhelmed".


    "Like the self-proimed Beast King said, most of their targets are some of the most famous beast consortiums around".


    "Most of them already lost all their assets in just a few hours".


    "Apart from the beast consortiums, the beasts are unhinged like expected, they are also attacking civilians and causing a lot of destruction".


    "It seems the ambition of their so-called king goes more than just beasts".


    "His end goal seems to be retrieving all animals in the Minerva Star System".


    Spreading her hand, this Colonel focused on a footage. "As you can see, this is a civilian yet they are already ravaging it to the ground".


    "They''re taking all beasts, including all domestic animals that have been turned into pets by the residents of this civilian".


    "Clearly, it''s not just beast very, they also don''t want theirpanions to serve as pets and is why they''re doing all this".


    "At the time of speaking, over a dozens have already been lost".


    "No life can be detected in them and all beasts are gone".


    The Colonel looked at everyone present. "Like you would expect, alone, the beasts do not have the capability to do this, the Beast Priests is their greatest help".


    "Those Grade A beasts causing havoc?" The President asked.


    "Yes, Mr. President".


    "Like the Beast King insinuated in his speech, clearly they are his best help and they are the main reason why we were caught so off-guard today".


    "9 of these Beast Priests has appeared in our territory today and a further 8 have been reported by the Ackermanns to have appeared in their territory".


    "Of the 9 in our territory, 7 of them are normal Grade A Beasts like the Crocodile Priest and the others that our Admirals killed decades ago".


    "The 8th one is far more specialized, it''s a World Camel and he calls himself the Shelter Priest. As big as 2 B29sbined and with a space world on it''s back, it has enough capacity to carry all the rescued beasts".


    The eyes of most of the higher-ups that were present today narrowed when they heard that, they kept on listening.


    "All these Beast Priests though are a level lower than the 9th Beast Priest; he calls himself the Destruction Priest!"


    "He is a Doom Cow!"


    This word made a lot of them frown as the President asked again. "I thought that species became extinct during the cleansing 2 centuries ago?"


    "Mr. President, that is what we all saw, all statistics points that he may perhaps be thest survivor of the Doom Cows".


    The scene on the screen finally changed again.


    This time, it depicted a cow, a cow ripped from head to toe with muscles.


    Like most of the other Beast Priests that already made an appearance, this fearsome beast could stand on his 2 feet. He had 2 golden horns that seemed to draw upon the energy of the universe.


    Every deep breath from this beast brought out fire from his nose.


    His eyes glowed a golden color but it didn''t look majestic, it rather looked dangerous, like the perfect depiction of everything known as destruction.


    He wore a gold chain round his neck with a glowing golden emblemying on his chest that seemed to amplify his power with every breath.


    He had white and dark blue skin and even his skin color seemed to resonate with his breathing, giving birth to the power of his affinity that passively caused destruction. Yes, literal destruction.


    Just standing still, a fierce force field was around this beast that actively destroyed everything around it, annihting every sign of life.


    The unusual energy affinity of this beast annihted all matter around itself, enabling it to generate even more energy to power himself up.


    Most of the higher ups were confused by this strange phenomenon but one of them that attended this meeting through a virtual projection shot up.


    Admiral Zhao''s eyes widened in shock. "Antimatter energy!"


    "This beast actually awakened antimatter energy?!" His voice reeked of pure shock, attracting the attention of everyone present.


    The President''s eyes narrowed. "What is antimatter energy?"


    "Antimatter substance isposed of subatomic particles that have the mass, electric charge, and maic moment of the electrons, protons, and neutrons of ordinary matter but for which the electric charge and maic moment are opposite in sign".


    "One of my greatest research in trying to break my current limits is trying to harness the power of antimatter as an energy source".


    "Antimatter energy is the annihtion of matter and antimatter releases energy".


    "Speak in simpler terms".<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Yes, Mr. President". Admiral Zhao''s eyes narrowed as he looked at this Doom Cow. "Whenbined with super energy, theoretically, this Doom Cow is what can be seen as an embodiment of destruction".


    "He has the ability to destroy all forms of matter around him while paying a great price for it, but antimatter releases energy which replenishes his energy".


    "This means that in theory, this beast can keep on destroying forever".


    "¡­!" The higher-ups in attendance shuddered.


    "It cannot be stopped?"


    "No normal Grade A Super can stop this beast in battle". Admiral Zhao''s eyes narrowed even further. "Not even an army of Grade A Supers can theoretically defeat him, his power is a cheat and he is inexhaustible".


    "The only way to beat him is either by creating a specific machine that counters his energy affinity or by requesting the help of a Grade S Super!"


    "¡­"


    Silence dominated this meeting room.


    Like Admiral Zhao said, they confirmed it with their own eyes the next moment as from passive destruction, the Doom Cow finally started active destruction, leaving a wave of total annihtion in his wake.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Mini explosions of ck energy erupted from this Doom Cow and they engulfed any matter in the surroundings.


    Both grass, sand, flesh, metal, anything called matter in the surroundings was engulfed, turning them into nothingness in a disy of total destruction!


    "I am Duhkha''s rod of war!" The beast roared.


    "You all shall bow before the power of destruction!"


    The Doom Cow was not just causing chaos like the other Beast Priests. As soon as he appeared, he targeted the regional most powerful outpost of the Nak Navy that was stationed in Cloudy Gaze.


    Barging into this, all theary defense measures of this were rendered void as he forced his away through all the defenses.


    All the missiles that wereunched turned to nothingness as soon as they came into contact with the tyrannical energy oozing out of this Cow.


    He was a literal force of destruction!


    Barging his way into the, he spread his hands everywhere as mini antimatter bombs wereunched everywhere, this Nak outpost saw hell!


    BOOM! BOOM!


    Every explosion reaped lives and resources from this universe.


    The prey didn''t even know how they died, they simply faded into nothingness, this scene reminded a certain warrior who was watching of a certain superviin of his previous life.


    Legs was wide-eyed. ''It''s been so long in my previous life when I saw the Destruction Priest but this High Priest still gives Thanos vibes''.


    All the higher-ups of the Nak State were gripped by fear for the first time since the speech of the Beast King simply seeing the Destruction Priest in action.


    "What are we waiting for? Force all those consortiums to release their beasts! We can''t endanger the whole Minerva Star System for them!" One of the higher-ups exploded as he became consumed by his fear.


    "Yes, we can''t sacrifice the minority for the majority". Another higher-up supported as he looked at the virtual screen with fearful eyes. "It''s clear that they are the targets, if possible, let''s just give them all to the beasts".


    "How are we expected to fight a beast like this?"


    As all the higher-ups gave different fearful verdicts, the already stressed Nak President looked at a certain Admiral of his.


    Admiral Zhao nodded. "I advise against taking any rash decisions".


    "The speech of the Beast King was our first-time hearing from him, he was passionate but terrorists are always passionate. It may be that he lied, it may be that he is after something else entirely".


    "In my opinion, let''s weather the weight of this first attack to thoroughly understand our opponents before making the right step".


    "We''ll corrte our experiences with those suffered by the Ackermanns, see if trying to negotiate with the Beast Priest is possible".


    "If nothing works, then¡­" He took a deep breath. "Then we may take the extreme path to end these beasts".


    The Nak President nodded. "Do what you want".


    He stood up. "I don''t want that so-called Priest flexing so much power in my territory". He looked at Admiral Zhao. "Do something about it".


    The Admiral saluted. "Understood, Mr. President".


    Admiral Zhao looked around. "Admiral Ling, Admiral Kong, Admiral Cheng, Admiral Li, Admiral Gu, follow me, we have a beast to subdue".


    The meeting came to an end and they moved instantly.


    Bzzz!


    6 Nak Admirals arrived in Cloudy Gaze.

 Chapter 532 Battle Against The Destruction Priest! [1]

    ?


    BEEP!


    [NEW! 1 Unread Message!]


    Legs'' gctic essmunicator blinked with a notification.


    Without hesitation, he opened it to see the message as he rapidly went through its contents.


    [You have received a new mercenary mission: The Beast Menace!]


    [Mission Details: The Minerva System has been embroiled in a chaos of terrorist attacks caused by the Beast King. Join the official forces of the Nak Navy, help them to resist the beasts and keep thes safe.]


    [Mission Rewards: Rewards will be paid in equivalent for help rendered!]


    It was already a few hours since the chaos caused by the Beast King''s speech started yet across the numerous posts of the Nightmare mercenary group, they didn''t actively join in the battle to resist the beasts yet.


    Of course, Legs had a good rtionship with the Nak State through his connection with Champion Onana, but over the years, they didn''t grow closer.


    The Nak State simply saw the Nightmare mercenary group as one among the thousands of outsiders that were trying to cower up to the mighty Naks.


    They may have grown very powerful over this period of 50 years but they never saw them as more than that, just mercenaries.


    They never came close to being approved as an army.


    Legs endured all this for 50 years though, this was because he knew the future and he had a n. For 50 years, he had been funing his n.


    There were 13 beginners in the Minerva Star System, 7 in the territories of the Nak State with the other 6 in the territory of the Ackermanns.


    During the 50 years of growth, all the branches and outposts of the Nightmare mercenary group were created in strategics.


    Legs already upied the 6 beginners with outposts of his mercenary group. Another thing that he was cautious of over these 50 years was that he avoided any where beasts were enved inrge numbers.


    This saved his mercenary group from the wrath of the rampaging beasts.


    While a lot of other innocent mercenary groups and even some armies were embroiled in the chaos led by the extremely powerful beast priests, the Nightmare mercenary group remained intact as they awaited orders from their leader.


    It was after seeing the mercenary mission that Legs'' eyes finally gleamed.


    ''Finally!''


    ''I thought you guys were too proud to call for help''. He smirked.


    Another thing that made him smirk was that he did not just receive a mercenary mission from the headquarters in Nak State, another one came from elsewhere, the headquarters of the mercenaries in Ackermann State.


    [You have received a new mercenary mission: Kill the Beasts!]


    [Mission Details: Our state is under war, our military outposts have been caught off-guard and have suffered a lot of casualties, we need to counterattack. Join the counterattack of the Ackermann Navy and get our favor!]


    [Mission Rewards: A nk Cheque/A nk Favor!]


    [NOTE: This mission is only avable to quasi-grade 1 mercenary groups!]


    This was a mercenary mission that came directly from the higher echelons of the Ackermann State, precisely the President, they were hit hard.


    And yes, the influence of the Nightmare mercenary group did not stop at the Nak State, Legs already extended his influence beyond this state.


    2 years ago, he sent his student to the rival state of the Naks.


    There, Christensen built things from the dark on his master''s behalf.


    No sizeable force was established in the Ackermann State yet, what Legs rather had Christensen do was to prepare for the return of the yers.


    Christensen upied all 6 beginners with his subordinates.


    As soon as the yers returned and as the battle was kickstarted by the beasts, hundreds of millions of yers across the Minerva Star System received notification invites of a certain familiar faction.


    After Version 2, during the break of the update, Darvis'' storyline won the votes for Gxy TV''s best Dominator version 2 storyline.


    Army Commander Legs also won the best main character by a mile.


    This shot his reputation to an entirely new level among the yers.


    Originally, Legs simply basked on his rising poption among the yers of Darvis and Austere, hoping they could use word of mouth to spread his poprity even more but he got more than he prayed for.


    [You have epted Invite to join the Nightmare mercenary group!]


    [Your favorability with the Army Commander has increased by +100!]


    ¡­


    [You have received Main Storyline Grade A Mission: The Beast Coalition; Scars of the Past and Present!]


    [Mission Details¡­]


    [Mission Reward¡­]


    ¡­


    [You have received Faction Information: Wait for the orders of the Mercenary Commander!]


    ***


    [You have epted Invite to join the Nightmare mercenary group!]


    [Your favorability with the Army Commander has increased by +100!]


    [¡­]


    While the yers received multiple notifications and they epted, Legs was also bombarded with millions of notifications as he grinned.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    This was beyond his expectations. ''I never knew I was so famous already''.


    Legs no longer hesitated; he finally epted the mercenary mission.


    As soon as he epted the mercenary mission, he gave new orders to his subordinates. Instantly, the status of the Nightmare mercenary group changed.


    In Ackermann space, Christensen led tons of yers to join the fun.


    In Nak space, de led millions of warriors and yers to join the fun.


    As for Legs, Uranus, Sonia, and Nagana, they had another mission.


    Taking the fastest light Frigate of the Nightmare mercenary group, they entered warp travel as they rapidly elerated towards the distant outpost of the Nak Navy that was located in Cloudy Gaze.


    Legs'' eyes gleamed. ''I can''t miss this battle''.


    ''I need to give my yers something to hype them up''.


    ''After 50 years, I need to fatten up my sheep for harvesting again''.


    ''The farmer is long starved!'' He grinned.


    He was not just going alone, with him in this light Frigate was a familiar face, Horny Assassin was already back to his old job as a videographer just in his first day back in the game, this yer felt like the luckiest yer in the world.


    ¡­


    BOOM!


    A small red Frigate came out of warp travel to witness destruction!


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Inside Cloudy Gaze already turned into a massive crater even worse than the end product of Darvis after the Cataclysm.


    The Doom Cow, the Destruction Priest was at the center of this destruction.


    A ck aura of destruction emanated from this extremely powerful Beast Priest as he was attacked from all sides by powerful Grade A Nak Admirals.


    Nak Admiral Zhao led the charge.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    An army of gray powerful mechanics swept through the skies of this as they bombarded the beasts, cing most of their focus on the Destruction Priest that was hell-bent onying ruin to this.


    Millions ofser beams were unleashed per second.


    In his mechanic suit, the War Mechanic attacked personally.


    Every shot from his canonuncher was a massive threat not just to the Destruction Priest but to the integrity of this.


    The canonsnded with powerful force of impacts.


    BOOM!


    Apart from Admiral Zhao, the other Nak Admirals also gave their all in subduing this beast.


    From the far right, an old Nak Admiral hovered in the air with magic circles underneath his feet even as a gigantic book filled with arcane energy hovered before him, the pages of this book flipped rapidly.


    He chanted incantations and powerful arcane energy followed.


    This old Admiral battered the Destruction Priest with spells.


    Beside the old Nak Admiral was another Nak Admiral, another Mechanic but this one a Mechanical Pugilist. Only his face could be seen fully, majority of his body was d in metal as he looked bulky like the Hulk.


    He timed his charge to when the only Pugilist in this group charged the Destruction Priest, then he also charged in with power.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    At another side, a fire Elementalist and the only Psychic attacked.


    The power of their attacks was evident from the destruction already dealt to this, yet the Destruction Priest was still unscathed.


    This beast was still as ripped as the first time that it made an appearance.


    Every move from the Doom Cow set off antimatter bombs in the air and the Grade A Nak Admirals were wary against it. Even the Pugilist and Mechanical Pugilist had to retreat every time that he released a bomb.


    Gathering his energy, this beast''s golden eyes glowed brighter even as the ne on his neck glowed also, his vocal cords reverberated like grating stone.


    "I am Duhkha''s rod of war!"


    BOOM¡­!!!


    He unleashed the energy st!


    A region spanning across hundreds of kilometers was decimated by this attack though the Admirals survived.


    The Nak Navy in Cloudy Gaze was already a ruin.


    Watching from the skies, Legs was in awe. ''So much power! This is the power of Cmity Grades!''


    This was also why he was here, he already calcted and concluded that rescuing the survivors of the Nak base here would give him more rewards since knowing the Destruction Priest''s personality, he had a guess of how it would end.


    ''If I am not wrong, by the end of today¡­, there will be no more Cloudy Gaze''.


    This was the power of Cmity Grades!

 Chapter 533 Battle Against The Destruction Priest! [2]

    ?


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Doom Cow flexed its incredible body strength as it fearlessly shed against the Grade A Pugilist and Mechanical Pugilist who came after it.


    It''s passive antimatter domain negated most of the effects of the spells from the Mage and the elemental attacks of the Elementalist, its ability to disintegrate matter to dust was just too powerful to counter.


    His Priest title perfectly fitted his power and battle style.


    Admiral Zhao could not also do much, his army of mechanics already bloated the skies as they spread a web of destruction, shooting rapidly at the Doom Cow but not once did this Destruction Priest bleed.


    His domain dealt with most attacks and as for those that managed to pass through, his thick skin seemed impervious to every form of damage.


    In the end, it was the Grade A Psychic that prevented the whole outpost of the Nak Navy that was stationed in this from being wiped out yet.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Blitzing Psychic Force!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Mind Invasion!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Neural Maniption!"


    Bzzz! Bzzz!


    This Psychic could not injure the Doom Cow, but he definitely seeded at annoying it as it started letting out frustrated grunts and roars.


    Have you ever wanted to move right and you see yourself moving left?


    Have you ever wanted to lift your finger only to see your left being lifted?


    Have your eyes itched you, you desperately wanting to rub or scratch the edges but being unable to do so because someone was interrupting with your nerve signals and controls?


    Imagine how it felt.


    This was exactly what this notorious Psychic did.


    His attacks were all focused on messing with this beast''s mind.


    For a beast with so much physical dominance and such an OP affinity energy, his mind was his greatest weakness and they all targeted it.


    The Destruction Priest was frustrated but he never faltered.


    Despite all this, it was a crazy feat that a single Beast Priest was holding back 6 of the strongest Admirals that the Nak State ever produced.


    From how effective they fought; it was clear that this was not the first time that they were allying together to fight a beast far stronger than them.


    With the Psychic obstructing the Destruction Priest, messing with his thoughts, neural signals and responses, the Pugilist and Mechanical Pugilist had the luxury to unleash their full strength though they still could not injure it.


    At this moment, the Mage and Elementalist seemed like the most useless bunch in this battlefield since their attacks only seemed like tickles to this beast.


    The more they fought, the more shocked they became. ''How can a single beast grow to be this powerful?''


    ''This monster¡­!''


    While they had these thoughts, Admiral Zhao had an entirely different thought as millions of thoughts went through his mind every second.


    By now, arge part of Cloudy Gaze was already destroyed.


    He could already guess how this would end.


    His only worry was¡­, he looked at the struggling Nak Navy outpost.


    Since the Destruction Priest attacked, hundreds of thousands of elite well-trained Nak warriors that manned this Navy base already died.


    Even now, while being besieged from all sides, the Destruction Priest still gave them enough attention to prevent any warship from escaping this.


    His antimatter domain was simply too powerful.


    Admiral Zhao furrowed his brows. ''What should I do?''


    ''I can''t let so many Nak warriors die¡­, it will hit us too hard''.


    He frowned as he looked at the rampaging Destruction Priest. ''It''s impossible to kill it at this rate¡­, is there really nothing that I can do?''


    Amid his questions, he suddenly noticed something.


    Whoosh!


    A new warship barged into this, a Light Frigate.


    On the body of this state of the art Light Frigate was the logo of the head of a roaring Nightmare Beast, his eyes shone. ''The Nightmare mercenaries!''


    He sighed in relief. ''This will do it then''.


    ''I guess I owe Legs this time''.


    Compared to 50 years ago, something could be detected immediately, the way that Admiral Zhao addressed Legs and hispanions'' arrival.


    Compared to 50 years ago, his sigh of relief now showed acknowledgement of the incredible feats and reputation that these mercenaries already garnered.


    Legs didn''t get his Nightmare Commander moniker from thin air.


    Admiral Zhao''s eyes gleamed, he roared. "Containment Hunt Strategy!"


    The eyes of hispanions gleamed.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Forcefield Bomb!"


    After another eruption of antimatter energy, as soon as the Destruction Priestnded on the crater, he noticed it toote.


    The bomb that was hidden there detonated.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    Instantly, a great amount of force and pressure erupted from this bomb as itunched the Destruction Priest into the air without injuring it.


    They could not defeat it, they knew but this group of 6 Admirals had faced beasts with even more ridiculous powers, they could contain it.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The Mage instantly started chanting words in an unknownnguage.


    He was done in less than a second.


    His eyes glowed white. "Shackles of the Soul- Guilt!"


    BZZZ!


    Instantly, the soul of the Destruction Priest shook as from its own soul, green chains erupted out before tying it and keeping it in ce in the air.


    No matter how vicious and wicked a sentient being was, he always had a conscience. Thisplicated spell targeted the conscience, once there was a semnce of guilt, even a tiny bit, the target''s own soul would shackle him.


    To the Destruction Priest, he was fighting for a noble cause but deep at the back of his mind, he was not too dark yet that he couldpletely ignore the consequences of causing the deaths of millions of people.


    This tiny bit of guilt triggered against him.


    Instantly, all the other Admirals activated abilities of their own to slightly shackle this beast even as the Pugilist and Mechanical Pugilist charged in to keep him busy. While they did this, the Nightmare mercenaries became free.


    Over 50 years, Legs may not have be stronger in terms of his grade, but he was now far stronger now in terms of raw battle strength.


    He already learned the 4 Cutting-Edge Summoner knowledges.


    And not just that, he had his famous trump card, Aaron.


    Aaron was not many things but he was an old monster.


    "Self-Created Elementalist Ability: Water Veil!"


    BZZZZ!


    Sizzling sounds reverberated as a gigantic body of water appeared, isting the destructive antimatter from the struggling warriors of the Nak Navy.


    Aaron was a Water Elementalist, a renowned sage who already thoroughly understood the water element close to its peak.


    He kept the antimatter energy at bay, and the rescue mission started.


    -----

    ----


    Legs only called on Bran and Ak, millions of beasts followed the next moment as they grabbed any warrior that they could before jumping into the beast ne with them, the rescue efforts was rapid and fast.


    In mere 20 seconds with the Destruction Priest being shackled by the Admirals, they rescued every one of the Nak warriors here as the Light Frigate finally rose up to escape this.


    "I am Duhkha''s rod of war¡­!" He roared.


    Then¡­


    BOOM¡­!


    A pitch-ck lightning bolt filled with antimatter energy rapidly elerated towards the light frigate as time seemed to freeze.


    The Nak Admirals could not stop this attack.


    None of them panicked though, they simply waited.

    As soon as Legs jumped out of the Frigate, he triggered his Eyes of Truth ability as he observed the lightning bolt, analyzing its trajectory and the most acute angle to evade it.


    At the same time, he activated the metamorphosis- reverse.


    This time, instead of shrinking, his body expanded like a balloon.


    With his new gigantic size, Legs pped his massive ck wings once as the void energy and terrifying wind generated pushed the light frigate.


    Whoosh!


    A streak of ck and yellow was left in their wake, they were gone just before the ck lightning bolt left a trail of destruction in the atmosphere.


    They escaped.


    5 minutester, they looked back at Cloudy Gaze.


    This shook as the mighty roar of the Destruction Priest reverberated again, fire engulfed it, then it crumbled before exploding!


    This was the power of Cmity Grades!

    The more this Colonel listed out the report, the more the higher-ups that were present shuddered as everything settled into their brains.


    In a mere few hours, the Nak State already lost a ridiculous number of resources, civilians, and territory that they built across decades.


    It was clear that the Beast Coalition gave the Nak territories more attention than their rivals, they were suffering far more, it almost seemed unfair.


    The President tried to sound calm. "Admiral Zhao".


    Bzzz!


    The virtual projection of the Admiral appeared the next moment.


    He was inside his mechanic suit and space rapidly elerated across his screen. Clearly, he was currently engaging in a high-speed space chase.


    The President could already guess what was happening, he shuddered but still kept a calm face. "Tell me".


    This Admiral''s bloody face had a frustrated look on it. "Mr. President, the Destruction Priest shows no signs of stopping yet".


    "He''s now onto our 2nd biggest Navy outpost in Stifled Rain".


    "¡­" The President took a deep breath.


    "Is there nothing that you can do?"


    Admiral Zhao sighed in disappointment. "No".


    He didn''t need to exin himself, they all watched the performance of the Destruction Priest in Cloudy Gaze. This extremely powerful beast was an absolute tank and powerhouse, he was unstoppable.


    And like Admiral Zhao said, throwing more Grade A Supers at this beast would not work, the tactic of numbers simply didn''t work against him.


    He had too much endurance, defense, and passive regeneration for that.


    His antimatter energy affinity was simply a cheat code.


    The only way to subdue or even defeat this Grade A menace was to deploy an overwhelmingly powerful Cmity Grade, or even a Grade A+ Super but sadly, the Nak State had none of those otherworldly existences.


    The President became angry. "Are we really helpless against this beast?!"


    "There are only 2 ways".


    The President''s eyes lit up. "Tell me".


    "First, we can decide to go the damaging route and unleash our still under development nukes and antimatter bombs. I am in charge of this research and development, I can''t still guarantee the safety of these bombs".


    He took a deep breath. "But without a doubt, they are the most powerful weapons in our arsenal to target beasts of this caliber".


    "I thought you said he had antimatter affinity". The President interrupted.


    "Yes, but that does not mean he is impervious to it, he may have some resistance but a real antimatter bomb can deal so much damage that it''s resistance would not mean much in the grand scheme of things".


    "What are the cons?"


    "Like the nukes, we don''t know it''s practical side effects".


    "But in theory, there''s every chance that the antimatter bomb will simply gobble too much energy and expand infinitely in space to be a singrity".


    "Then, we would have shot ourselves on the foot".


    "It can''t be stopped; hundreds of millions will die if that happens".


    "As for nukes, a tiny miscalction can irradiate millions of our citizens, affecting our DNA and probably even Super gene in numerous ways".


    The President furrowed his brows. "The alternative".


    "We ask for help".


    "Help?"


    "Yes". Admiral Zhao nodded. "It is clear that we are not the only targets, the whole Minerva Star System was affected, including the Ackermann territories".


    "They may not be suffering as much as us. No existence at the level of the Destruction Priest appeared in their territory but they are still suffering, let''s negotiate with them for help".


    "They have a treasure that can counter the Destruction Priest".


    The President furrowed his brows. "What is that?"


    "The white grade treasure, Space Cave".


    Admiral Zhao''s face became solemn. "I''ve fought against the Destruction Priest enough to know. I doubt any power below the Grade S realm can kill it, the only way to subdue this beast is to trap it".


    "The Space Cave is excellent for this".


    "In exchange for their help, you can add incentives and also give them the assurance that we will help if they ever face a simr situation".


    "We are rivals Zhao". The President stressed. "We never help each other".


    "That only applies in times of peace, not in times like this".


    "I believe that you can convince them".


    Boom! Boom!


    The next moment, loud sounds reverberated from Admiral Zhao''s side. Clearly, they were already engaging the Destruction Priest again.


    The virtual projection disappeared.


    Silence fell into this virtual meeting room; the President was deep in thought for over a minute. Then, he finally stood up.


    He arranged his suit. "Connect me to President Dominik".


    "Yes, Mr. President".


    A few secondster¡­<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    BEEP!


    "Hello, Mr. President".


    "President Dunk, this is a surprise, I never expected a call from you".


    The Nak President fought his urge to frown, he didn''t beat around the bush. "I think you already have a basic idea of why I am calling".


    "I bring an offer of cooperation".


    "This terrorist attack affected both our territories and to me, the best way to get out of this with least casualties and losses is to cooperate".


    The bald President on the other end smirked as he looked at the Nak President with a smirk on his face. "Since when do Naks and Ackermanns cooperate?"


    Beep!


    He cut the call on him; President Dunk''s face turned livid.


    "That motherf*¡­!" He stopped himself before he could finish the word as he turned back to look at the footage where the Destruction Priest wreaked havoc.


    He gritted his teeth. "You heard the Admiral".


    "Execute the first n".


    "Yes, Mr. President".


    He put his hands behind his back, took a deep breath and hoped.


    ¡­


    The Macouver House, the biggest building ever constructed in this was the presidential vi of this esteemed state.


    It was painted gray and looked a more gigantic square-shaped White House.


    This was where President Dominik spoke with his rival.


    A building close to the Presidential vi¡­


    BAM!


    The floor was cracked open back up into the familiar small house as 6 figures all cloaked in back and emitting terrifying auras jumped into this building.


    All 6 were beasts, it could easily be seen from their frames.


    One of them was a Snow Monkey who emitted a terrifying pressure, another was a Golden Langur who seemed like the wisest beast in the world, the pressure gave off by this beast was also thick and massive.


    The remaining 4 noticeably had weaker auras, one was an Elephant, another a Plecostomus, another was a Parrot, as for thest, he looked more mysterious than all the others, even his features were not clear.


    As soon as they arrived in this building, arcane energy moved round the Parrot as he chanted a long incantation.


    While he chanted, the mutated Elephant with 4 trumpets, making it look like a Kraken arranged a set-up, turning this room into something akin to a studio reminiscent of where the Beast King gave his first speech.


    While he did this, the Snow Monkey held his long golden staff as he knelt on one knee while focusing on a certain room in the presidential vi.


    He held his magical golden staff like it was a sniper rifle.


    A few secondster, the set-up was done, they went online.


    BZZZ!


    For the second time today, all electronic devices were sabotaged.


    The best programmers of both ruling states simply could not catch up with the skill of the Mechanic doing this sabotage, he was just too good.


    The Golden Langur looked at the most mysterious of the beasts.


    "Master, are you ready?"


    The beast nodded.


    They went live.


    Instantly, he pulled the hood hiding his face down to reveal his identity, the massive ck lion mane gave it away.


    This was Duhkha, the Beast King.


    He looked straight into the camera. "All I ever wanted and still want is the liberation of all beasts, it would be nice if you guys can understand that and cooperate".


    "Sadly, you are too arrogant to see the changing lines of fate".


    "A wise man once said, pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance".


    "We did exactly just that for long already, we no longer want to pretend, all we want now is to show you the price of arrogance".


    "Remember, all I want is the beasts".


    "Done". The Parrot suddenly said from the side, the Demonic Lion nodded.


    He smiled and it looked devious. "Look".


    The screen changed to that of the Ackermann State''s Presidential vi.


    "This is what happens to the arrogant".


    BOOMMMMM!


    The Ackermann State''s Presidential Vi erupted in mes.


    Shock rippled through the whole Minerva Star System.


    This was not enough to kill the President of a civilization this powerful though, he was the most protected individual of the Ackermann State as his shield generator saved his life but they were prepared.


    Instantly after the Presidential vi was razed to the ground and asmotion erupted with most of the warriors scrambling to protect their president, the Snow Monkey that had been quiet since pulled the trigger.


    Snow briefly whirled around his fingers then he flicked his magic staff.


    Whoosh!


    It left and arrived in an instant, it urately hit the President on the head, then it returned at that same instant.


    It was like it never left the Snow Monkey''s grasp.


    President Dominik died on the spot!

 Chapter 535 The Rage Of A Galactic State!

    ?


    A few minutes earlier¡­


    While the Magic Parrot was setting the receivers for his arcane energy around the presidential vi with hispanions following him.


    "Is this truly a wise idea?" The Golden Langur asked.


    The Beast King turned to look at one of his best advisors.


    The Golden Langur was not fierce-looking or imposing like most of the other Beast Priests. Apart from his golden fur and ck face like a normal goldenngur, the most distinctive trait of this beast was his intelligence.


    Just one look at this beast''s face spoke a lot about his intelligence.


    His eyes were not feral like most beasts, he seemed to have conquered his primal instinctspletely. He was calm and collected.


    "Duhkha has to be feared". The Demonic Lion answered.


    "You don''t have to do it personally". The Golden Langur sighed.


    "You are indispensable to our cause and eventual goal, the battlefield is not your calling, your calling is leading us from the dark".


    "Any of the Beast Priests can easily impersonate as you".


    The Demonic Lion smirked. "They can impersonate me but they cannot be me, that is why I must be here today".


    He looked at the Magic Parrot working, then he listened.


    "Can you hear them talking so casually?" He chuckled. "Can you hear themughing? That is my goal and I can''t enjoy it from a distance".


    His eyes gleamed. "That is why I need to be here".


    "Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance".


    He rubbed his mane. "It''s a nice thought process but what if you are really inferior in the first ce and it''s not pretending?" He smirked. "You don''t just encourage, you feed his arrogance".


    "To them, we are just another bunch of jobless terrorists".


    "They''ve subdued and brutalized us for so long that the arrogance is locked in them, nothing can change it".


    "They believe they''re our superiors and nothing in the world can change it".


    "This is an advantage to us and I don''t intend to waste it".


    "He refused cooperation with the Naks because of arrogance".


    "I deliberately let hints of my arrival in their territory. They know but instead of trying to capture and kill me immediately, they want to use it as a power show to climb even higher than their rival state".


    "If possible, they want to use me to destroy the Naks". He smirked. "If only they knew of the power of my Beast Priests".


    He grinned. "Their hate for each other is our fuel to greatness".


    "Once we hit one of them at the head where it hurts the most, we won''t be neglected anymore, they will finally take my words seriously".


    A few minutester, they were done, they left to the house.


    As they left, the Golden Langur looked at him. "Snow''s assassination veil is very effective but in life, there are always coincidences".


    "No matter how good a n is, it''s not always full proof, life is random and erratic and is why we should live it carefully".


    The Beast King looked at him. "Trust me, I know".


    ¡­


    The Ackermann Presidential vi¡­


    President Dominik just came off the phone with the Nak President, he had a devious grin on his face. "If they want to cooperate, they better get ready to bleed hard, I''m already ahead of them".


    His advisor was all smiles. "The beasts really are foolish, their leader actually dared to enter our territory when he could be enjoying his time somewhere".


    "I bet he''s plotting some petty terrorist attacks in here".


    President Dominik smirked. "I will use one bird to kill 2 stones, I shall make both the Beast Coalition and the Nak State bow before me".


    "Perhaps, I may decide to spare his life if he convinces the so-called Destruction Priest to serve me as my personal pet".


    His advisorughed loudly, heaping praise on him.


    As the leader of a prosperous state of a star system, President Dominik was in no way ipetent. He was intelligent and extremely calcting, the only problem this time was that he met someone who could outsmart him.


    "We shall wait till the Naks be desperate enough before taking action¡­"


    He barely finished speaking when he felt his danger sense spike.


    ''What?''<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    BOOM!


    He didn''t know what happened, a wave of heat assaulted his face as fire filled his surroundings. He could hear rumbling and sounds of copsing metal and bricks.


    His shield generator saved him from the disaster.


    His advisor died instantly from the explosion.


    "What just happened?" He asked again amidst his dizziness.


    By now, the Commander of his royal guards, a Grade A Mage was already by his side as he chanted an incantation to erect an even bigger shield.


    He barely started when he saw something golden sh past him.


    It arrived and returned almost instantaneously.


    Bam!


    Only a tiny sound of impact reverberated.


    Shocked, this mage turned around to look at his President. The President was still standing, his body was intact but his eyes were rolled backward.


    The speed and force of the staff was so controlled that it arrived, hitting the President on the forehead and precisely channeling all the force into his brain.


    The President''s brain turned into a bloody mush but his outward body and appearance looked the same, it was like nothing happened and he was still fine and well, only his rolled back eyes gave it away.


    This was insane technique and martial arts!


    The mage''s eyes widened in shock.


    "Mr. President?"


    "Mr. President?!"


    "MR. PRESIDENT!!!"


    President Dominik was dead.


    Everything happened so fast it felt like a badly made movie trick.


    The President of the Ackermann state was just assassinated, and the worst thing was that this was broadcasted across the whole Minerva Star System.


    "Like I said, all I want is the beasts".


    The broadcast finally stopped.


    The ho''s nest was disturbed¡­ and it erupted.


    The Ackermann State was a gctic state that had been around for centuries, their foundations were immense. The only reason why they didn''t take drastic action since was because of their arrogant and overconfident President.


    Now, all hell broke loose!


    The Beast King just attracted the rage of a Gctic State!


    The Commander of the royal armies override all military protocols, contacting the highest Admirals and Commanders. "Find them!"


    "KILL THEM!"


    The Ackermann State came to life.


    Thousands of warships rose out of this capital. They roamed the skies, shooting down any spaceship that was trying to exit the as Macouver was put in a state of emergency.


    5 Grade A Supersunched into the skies in search of them.


    More Grade A Supers were on their way to this, rapidly moving here.


    Millions of deep-scanners scoured space and the, not even a speck of dust could escape so much rageful scanning.


    The escaping stealth ship was detected just 45 secondster.


    WOM! WOM! WOM!


    rms red round this.


    The leader of the Beast Coalition was cornered.

 Chapter 536 A Clash Of Calamity Grades! [1]

    ?


    ''I don''t know why master sent me here but it definitely can''t be good''. Christensen thought with worry evident on his face.


    She could feel his worry.


    "Calm down". She looked into his eyes.


    "Legs can do a lot of things but he values rtionships, he will never send his student to his death, you should know this already".


    Christensen inclined his head to look at Sonia with furrowed brows.


    Yes, Sonia was his assistant in his mission in Ackermann Space.


    Over the 50 years of growth, bursting into the scene, the Nightmare mercenary group had nock of enemies. The Sonia that seemingly rode with Legs to Cloudy Gaze was just an impersonator.


    Most of their weak enemies feared them and the strong ones were scared of the Nak Navy but in the case one of them became bold enough to try assassinating his student, Legs sent Sonia along as insurance.


    Having gone on numerous mercenary missions together over the years, the chemistry between Christensen and Sonia was now much. Together in battle, the sum of their powers was greater than a simple addition of 1 plus 1.


    Christensen sighed but the worry didn''t leave his eyes. "I know he''ll never send me to my death, but something tells me that at the end of whatever is going to happen here, I''ll be left scrambling for my life".


    Sonia grinned. "That''s the exciting part of it".


    "And that''s why I followed you here, Legs never gives boring exclusive missions, they are always exciting".


    Yes, at this moment, they were in the capital of Ackermann Space, Macouver and they lodged a hotel in the floating city that was closest to the floating city housing the Presidential vi.


    Christensen looked at the distant city with a lot of things going through his mind, he muttered. "I wonder what will happen¡­" He paused.


    BOOOOMMMMM!


    The Ackermann State''s Presidential Vi erupted in mes.


    "What?" Christensen was horrified. "The President is in there!"


    From this distance, they saw the golden light left by the staff sh.


    Then, it was over¡­, or so it seemed.


    Unfortunately, it was never going to be over so easily.


    Thousands of warships rose into the skies in no time as the skies became bloated by the sheer number of warships. Macouver entered a state of emergency as elite Ackermann warriors filled the cities.


    Christensen became increasingly horrified. ''What happened?''


    ''Was the President assassinated?''


    Sonia smirked. "Legs never fails, he really has prophetic powers".


    45 secondster¡­


    WOM! WOM! WOM!


    rms red round this as the stealth ship was found.


    The leader of the Beast Coalition was found.


    The warships all charged after this lone warship at record speed.


    Somewhere in Mancouver as this chase started, very far away from the city housing the once Presidential vi, there was an old mechanic workshop.


    It was built in a dome shape and was already covered by dirt.


    It seemed like its owner abandoned it long ago.


    It was while the 5 Grade A Supers led the army of warships aggressively after the stealth ship that this dome-shaped mechanic workshop finally opened for the first time in decades since he went into seclusion.


    A 6th Cmity Grade Ackermann Super emerged.


    With a thick stone-cold face filled with messy brown beard and hair, he looked up with furrowed brows. "Assassins?" He muttered. "What is going on?"


    His eyes narrowed. "The kid Dominik is dead?!"


    HUM!


    Instantly, the dead mechanic workshop hummed to life.


    The dome-shaped mechanic workshop transformed instantly into a war fortress. Powerful war turrets emerged from inside in various ces, gigantic canonunchers appeared with their muzzles all pointed at the escaping spaceship.


    Thest thing to appear was an absolutely gigantic mech suit.


    It was almost a kilometer tall, towering above the dome-shaped workshop.


    Those who had heard of his legend would recognize him immediately. This iconic mech suit was the Life Spanner, and its rider was the legendary Ackermann Cmity Grade warrior, Elyon the Heavy Artillery Mechanic!


    As soon as this mech appeared, this man jumped inside it as it closed up the next moment. Then all its lights lit up, then it focused at the sky.


    It only had 2 weapons, it''s hands that were gigantic canonunchers.


    "You dare kill the President in my presence!"


    He pulled the trigger.


    BOOOMMMMM!


    The explosion and sound that followed was like that of a cataclysm!


    2 ming canons of gigantic proportions rapidly elerated towards the spaceship as they seemed to warp space and time with their movement!


    Seeing the origin of the canons, all the Ackermann warriors were uplifted!


    As for the target of this attack¡­


    Time seemed to freeze before them¡­


    This was when their lives should sh before them right¡­?


    Inside the stealth spaceship, 5 of its upants watched everything happening around them with calm but serious expressions on their faces.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Since their leader the Beast King already made the decision to go on with this mission, gambling with his life, the others no longer had any objections after getting to this point, their only focus was on getting out alive.


    The Strength Elephant clenched his stone fists and looked as his trumpet snorted gray stony particles with every breath.


    The Plecostomus grabbed his 2 war bats and looked with total concentration.


    The Demonic Lion, the Beast Priest was calm.


    The Golden Langur was even calmer, the eyes of this beast seemed to reflect the starry skies as he looked at everything happening around him.


    Only the Magic Parrot was speaking.


    "¡­" As he spoke, magic circles appeared around the stealth spaceship, empowering it and creating a hole before a certain beast for what was to follow.


    Thest beast in this spaceship, the 1st of the Upper Beast Priests, the Snow Monkey who was revered as the Primate Priest sat cross-legged even as magical energy calmly revolved around his body.


    Time seemed to slow down to a crawl¡­


    From every side, warships surrounded them, rapidly closing the distance as the scene of their impending doom seemed to be closer with every second.


    5 Grade A Supers were charging towards them at this very moment.


    Then at the very side of this spaceship came the closest and imminent impending disaster, the 2 canons that was unleashed by the gigantic mech suit.


    It approached with speed, force, and a certain feeling of doom with it.


    Without a doubt, the stealth spaceship could not withstand this force.


    But, in the first ce, who said it was going to withstand it?


    When it was only 10 meters away from the stealth ship, the eyes of the Primate Priest snapped open and they now glowed golden. His blueish white body was now covered with a golden armor filled with magical runes.


    His muscles bulged, pressing his golden armor and making it creak.


    His hair stood up on their own vition as arcane energy snaked through them, they seemed to be responding to the naturalws of the universe.


    His golden eyes focused on the hole created by the Magic Parrot.


    BAM!


    He charged out of the warship.


    Everything else that followed seemed to happen at a speed faster than every other existence on this battlefield could keep up with, which made it seem like it was happening in slow mo to the 2 existences involved.


    "Primate Power: Golden Staff!"


    "Primate Power: Golden Armor!"


    "Self-Created Magic Ability: One-Inch Push!"


    The Snow Monkey became a golden glowing light bulb in the sky.


    As soon as he charged out of the warship, he faced both rapidly elerating canons. Their speed was immense but he was faster.


    Briefly closing his eyes as he turned his body sideways in the air, he raised his right hand holding the Golden Staff as all his arcane energy focused on it.


    Then he stabbed twice at the air.


    Whoosh!


    It happened instantaneously; no naked eye could follow it.


    BOOM!


    BOOOMMMMM!


    2 loud sounds reverberated!


    The air seemed to have been sucked out of this atmosphere, turning it into what seemed akin to a vacuum for a few seconds after this sh of power.


    The small stealth spaceship survived by the enhancements of the Parrot.


    As for the Ackermann warships, not so much.


    Like 15 warships were caught up by the shockwaves of the explosion that followed from this sh, exploding on impact even as the 5 Cmity Grade Supers were halted on their path by the sheer power on disy.


    ''What?''


    ''He took a full-powered attack from the ancestor unscathed?!''


    BOOM!


    The kilometer tall mech suit suddenlyunched into the air the next moment. And under it, the dome-shaped mechanic workshop now turned war fortress came online as it unleashed disaster at the Snow Monkey.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    "Primate Power: Golden Domain!"


    In the air, what seemed like a surf board appeared under the kilometer tall mech suit which enabled to levitate in the sky.


    Now, one of the arms of the mech suit transformed into a 700-meter-long spear while its right arm remained a gigantic canonuncher.


    BOOM! BOOM!


    Whoosh!


    The Primate Priest swathed both canons away with his Staff, then he charged closer. The gigantic mech suit stabbed with the spear as it charged closer.


    BOOOM¡­!!!


    Both Cmity Grade Supers shed again and the impact and shockwave this time was even more destruction, literally destroying 2 floating cities at the same time that were too close to this aerial battlefield.


    The stealth spaceship tried to use this window of opportunity bought by the Primate Priest to escape but the 5 other Ackermann Cmity Grades blocked them.


    Instantly, the Plecostomus Priest and the Elephant Priest charged out of the spaceship. Again, time seemed to freeze¡­<p Macouver was about to witness a sh of Cmity Grades!

 Chapter 537 A Clash Of Calamity Grades! [2]

    ?


    The Minerva Star System was experiencing an unprecedented situation.


    The masses were already horrified by the first broadcasted speech.


    The 2nd broadcasted speech still ongoing horrified the higher-ups.


    The Minerva Star System was used to terrorist attacks. The 2 ruling races never paid much attention to them since it was the lower races who suffered the most. Most times, terrorists were too afraid to attack their territories.


    The Beast Coalition was the only 2nd terrorist group to break this status quo.


    During the first broadcast, the higher-ups of both states were left angry at the audacity of the beasts and the ipetence of their virtual mechanics for allowing a rogue mechanic to hack their satellites.


    The 2nd broadcast though was a different thing entirely.


    The whole Minerva Star System watched the Presidential Vi of Ackermann State erupt in mes, they also watched as President Dominik was assassinated.


    This was the President of one of the two ruling states of this Star System!


    He was assassinated right there in his territory, his home.


    He was assassinated at the ce where he should have felt safest.


    Back in Nak Space, inside the rapidly escaping Light Frigate, as soon as he saw the golden light during the assassination, Legs watched with glowing eyes. ''The 1st Upper Beast Priest, the Snow Monkey Primate Priest¡­!''


    During his previous life, Legs remembered all the beast priests of the Beast Coalition. The reason why he sent Christensen was to confirm this.


    After the death of the Crocodile Priest that was a ripple effect of his reincarnation, he was worried that this would have affected the development and ns of the Beast Coalition but from what he saw, his worries were unfounded.


    The Beast Coalition was still the same with the same goals, they never folded.


    The Beast King was still bold and daring in his approach to freedom.


    As the chase started to kill the Beast Priest, Legs finallyid his eyes on all the Beast Priests that came for this mission. ''He took 1 more along¡­''


    He recognized all of them.


    ''A Strength Elephant¡­'' His eyes glowed in recognition. ''The Elephant Priest''.


    ''A Magic Parrot¡­'' He grinned. ''The 2nd Emissary Priest''.


    ''A Plecostomus¡­'' Instantly, he got reminded of the pirates that attacked them, forcing them into a space storm 50 years ago. ''The Roaming Priest''.


    He easily recognized the Demonic Lion, the Beast Priest.


    His attention lingered more on thest beast. ''Another Upper rank Priest!''


    ''A Golden Langur Sage¡­'' His eyes narrowed in recognition and shock. ''2nd Upper Beast Priest, the Wisdom Priest''.


    Instantly, he took out hismunication device andmunicated with his student.


    His voice came out in a panic. "Master! What is going on? Every¡­"


    "Listen to me". Legs cut him off with a stern voice.


    "Enter the Light Frigate and get prepared to leave Macouver, make use of all the mind magic enhancements and protections that I gave to you".


    "Do not question me, do it, NOW!"


    Christensen could feel the seriousness in his master''s tone, Sonia heard it too and they understood what it meant. They dared not hesitate; they followed his orders instantly even amid the chaos of this Cmity Grade battle.


    The Minerva Star System became more destabilized as they watched the broadcast, they felt like they were watching a horror movie at this moment.


    This was an incredible show of power from the beast terrorists and it worked, all the higher-ups of both races were gripped by fear as they instantly bolstered their security even as the chase to kill the Beast Priest continued.


    Yes, even as they were being chased with the high probability that anything could happen, the Beast King did not interrupt the broadcast.


    He let it continue, he was not afraid of anything, not even death.


    In the spaceship, he grinned. ''This assassination alone already solidified Duhkha''s image''.


    He smirked. ''Even if I die today, Duhkha will never die, he is forever!''


    His thoughts were interrupted by the explosive sounds of the Snow Monkey and the Heavy Artillery Mechanic battling it out outside.


    Mechanics were most powerful at home and in the ideal environment.


    They were mostfortable where their machinery creations could all be utilized at their full power. Being so close to his mechanic workshop turned war fortress, this Mechanic was at his home and was in the zone state.


    His eyes were narrowed and focused inside his gigantic mech suit.


    He was determined to kill these beasts to restore the dignity of his race.


    He kept on tracking his opponent while pulling the trigger.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The Snow Monkey already became akin to a golden light mixed with icy blue colorations that kept on zipping through this atmosphere at a crazy speed.


    He evaded most attacks and simply charged head-on against the others.


    The 1st Upper Beast Priest was that powerful.


    He was a Snow Monkey who mastered the ways of a Magic Warrior.


    With his magic staff and his indomitable physical prowess, he seemed like a god of war as he shed aggressively and fearlessly against this War Mechanic.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The kilometer tall Mechanic Suit towered above this Monkey but he did not let up once. He showed incredible judgement, battle instincts, and experience at this moment as he singlehandedly fend off all the attacks rushing at him.


    These were not the only attacks, the warships everywhere also attacked him which were supposed to overwhelm him but he faced everything head-on.


    Whoosh!


    The 700-meter-tall spear of the mech suit stabbed forward again.


    The eyes of this beast narrowed as his golden magic energy erupted, amplifying the edges of his staff. Leaning his body to the right while raising his staff up and in-between his body and the spear, he pushed to the left.


    Golden magic explosions exploded from his golden armor as he pushed, amplifying his speed and force as he pushed off the gigantic spear.


    To him, this was a casual parry but the atmosphere didn''t feel so.


    BAM!


    A shockwave of aggressive power erupted outwards, dealing more damage to this even as more warships were damaged.


    The Snow Monkey''s stance in the air after parrying this spear stab enabled him to transfer all his force and momentum into a counterattack.


    Instantly after pushing the spear off, his staff rotated.


    "Self-Created Magic Technique: Magic Staff Rotation!"


    BOOM!


    The mech suit''s canonuncher unleashed another shot but what seemed like a funnel filled with golden magic energy appeared as it sucked in the canon.


    This finally enabled the counterattack.


    Using all the momentum from all these maneuvers, from the parry to the magic staff rotation technique, the Snow Monkey suddenly pushed his magic staff forward towards the chest of the gigantic mech suit with all his power.


    "RAAAAH!" He roared as his muscles bulged from the exertion.


    When it hit, the mech suit felt the impact.


    ~LIFE SPANNER~


    [WARNING...]


    Warning notifications were spammed at the old mechanic as his mech suit was flung into the distance, destroying fortifications along the way.


    The Snow Monkey did not look back. "Escort the leader to safety".


    Then, with narrowed eyes looking at the distance, a magic circle appeared around his feet as he took a step in the air.


    BOOM!


    He exploded into the distance.


    Both of them dominated this battle of cmity grades but having upied the strongest upant of this battlefield, the others became free but they could not escape since the other 5 Ackermann Cmity Grades blocked them.


    The Elephant Priest arrived first.


    This Beast Priest had the same affinity as Lucky''s subordinate Fox but at the Cmity Grade, the Strength affinity was even more OP.


    Bzzz!


    Gravity pressed down on everything in the surroundings as soon as he arrived due to the sheer weight of his body and his power.


    At this moment, his fists were already coated with gray stone.


    His pitch-ck eyes seemed to be even darker.


    "Self-Created Technique: Spartan Rage!"


    "Self-Created Technique: Exorcism!"


    He punched with both fists.


    BOOMMMM!


    A wave of power and gravity washed towards the 5 Grade A Supers of the Ackermann state, pushing them backwards but they were no pushovers.


    3 of them were Psychics, one was a Summoner while thest was an Elementalist, the Psychics erected massive barriers that stopped this gravitic force.


    Without hesitation, the Elementalist attacked.


    This was when the Roaming Priest finally made an appearance.


    The Plecostomus didn''t look like a priest at all, he looked more like a rogue bandit. The only cloth on him was a loose tattered ck jacket.


    His eyes were blood-red as he red at the expanding wave of fire. His scales gleamed; they were as thick as a dragon''s scales.


    His weapons? They were 2 thick club bats.


    He swung them at the expanding wave of fire.


    "Self-Created Technique: Brawler Style- Wave of Destruction!"


    Literally no sound reverberated, it was silent destruction.

 Chapter 538 A Clash Of Calamity Grades! [3]

    ?


    "Self-Created Technique: Brawler Style- Wave of Destruction!"


    No sound reverberated, not even that of something slicing through air.


    The attack of this Plecostomus moved like a bandit who learned to hone his instincts and attacks to make as less noise as possible, it made people wonder about his story, his red eyes spoke of untold suffering and pain.


    As the club bats moved through the air, a wave of destruction followed.


    A pitch-ck wave of destruction, they sucked the raging fire in.


    In a moment, there was no more fire in the air.


    The Ackermann Elementalist widened his eyes in shock.


    The Roaming Priest was not done.


    "Self-Created Technique: Brawler Style- Sand Toss!"


    He casually threw one of his bats up, freeing that hand as instantly a mountain of sand appeared on the free hand. It was a wonder how so much sand was able to fit in his hand since he was not as gigantic as most Beast Priests.


    He was like the Snow Monkey; their power was confined in small frames.


    The eyes of the Ackermann Cmity grades widened as they saw the mountain of sand, they already had a guess about what would follow, they were right, the red-eyed Plecostomus did not disappoint.


    He tossed the mountain of sand at them.


    Instantly, they were blinded from all directions.


    Not even their energy check could prate this sand, it seemed to have magical properties that messed with even their senses.


    They could only hear his next words.


    "Self-Created Technique: Brawler Style- Ramming Bats!"


    He grabbed his floating bat,pleting his weapon set again as pointing them straight ahead, he charged at the shield erected by the 3 Psychics.


    A shield erected by 3 Cmity Grade Psychics was immensely powerful but at this moment, this Plecostomus channeled all his power in a single point of this powerful shield.


    The shield was powerful but it''s power was spread round. Perhaps, if they could see, the Psychics would have reacted to direct more power towards the point of impact in the shield.


    Unfortunately, they could not see.


    The 2 bats hit their target with venom.


    CRACK!


    Only a loud cracking sound reverberated, the eyes of the Psychics widened.


    The next moment, the Psychic shield shattered.


    Whoosh!


    They barely felt the wind move, someone already invaded inside their domain. They felt goosebumps, they could feel their skin tingle already as the red-eyes of the Plecostomus glowed amid the rain of sand all around them.


    The Roaming Priest looked at all 5 of them and focused on 1.


    He focused on the Elementalist; he had the most destructive long-range potential which was the most dangerous to their escaping spaceship.


    The contracted beasts of the Cmity Grade Summoner followed their feral instincts and aggressively attacked him but he parried their attacks with his bat.


    He charged at the Elementalist who felt his hair stand on end.


    The Plecostomus didn''t attack immediately though, he rather threw his tattered ck jacket at the Elementalist.


    The Elementalist panicked, he thought this was an attack and defended instinctively. The ck jacket harmlessly hit his blocking hands.


    The Elementalist was shocked on feeling no impact, he looked in surprise, then his eyes widened in shock.


    "Self-Created Technique: Brawler Style- Concussion Strike!"


    He saw 2 dangerous bats erging before his eyes.


    He could not even dodge.


    From opposite sides, the bats mmed against his head from his ears.


    GRRRRNNNG!


    Instantly, he felt his ears ring before his eardrums burst!


    He could not hear anymore, he felt weird, he felt lost, he panicked.


    The force of the strike gave him a concussion as he became stunned, convulsing in the air like an epilepsy patient.


    The red-eyes of the Plecostomus were cold.


    This attack was a critical hit, it dealt a ridiculous amount of damage but as a Cmity Grade, he knew how high the health points of Cmity Grades was.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    There was no swift end to their battle, it alwayssted a long time.


    He knew that he could not kill this Elementalist immediately, that was not his intention though, his intentions came to pass the next moment.


    The Summoner was closest to the Elementalist and he saw everything. He watched as the Plecostomus barged in and attacked the Elementalist, severely injuring him, he saw his cold eyes that seemed to scream death.


    He panicked on behalf of hisrade. ''I need to save him!''


    This Summoner forgot everything else, fusing with all his beasts to create a final form as he aggressively charged at this Plecostomus.


    The Plecostomus'' eyes gleamed, he waited.


    The timing had to be absolutely right for his next move to work.


    ''Wait¡­''


    ''Wait¡­''


    ''Now!''


    "Self-Created Technique: Brawler Style- Brick Throw!"


    Whoosh!


    He threw one of his bat up again and on his hand appeared a massive brick. The Summoner did not expect it, by the time he understood, the brick was already before his forehead as it hit with an incredible amount of force.


    BAM!


    This Summoner was stunned.


    "Self-Created Technique: Brawler Style- Concussion Strike!"


    BAM!


    It hit.


    This Summoner felt the misery that his Elementalistrade felt.


    "DIE BEAST!" The angry roars of the Psychics finally came.


    The Roaming Priest''s scales chimed like an rm as he felt an incredible amount of psychic energy charge towards him, this was his way of feeling his hair stand on end.


    "Self-Created Technique: Brawler Style- Swift Retreat!"


    Like a real gangster brawler who was running from a losing battle, this Plecostomus showed incredible speed as he shamelessly escaped the range of this attack, returning towards his fellow Beast Priests.


    One of the Psychics attended to the Summoner and the Elementalist while the remaining 2 angry Psychics turned to attack them angrily.


    As soon as they turned though, their eyes widened.


    The Elephant Priest was already standing before them.


    His already gigantic fists expanded again, bing as huge as boulders as his muscles bulged, these fists of doom were now pointed at them.


    This was when they finally noticed it.


    When the Plecostomus wreaked havoc among them, to help theirrades, they unknowingly already did what basics taught them to never do, to never gather in one ce when before powerful enemies with unknown abilities.


    The eyes of the 2 Psychics widened.


    "Escape¡­!"


    They barely mouthed the words when the Elephant''s hand pulsed.


    "Self-Created Ability: Strength Punch- Gravity Pulse!"


    BOOM!


    This was an incredible AOE attack!


    A wave of powerful gravity energy watched over all 5 Ackermann Cmity grades; they were thrown into the distance as they gritted their teeth angrily.


    That was not all, the Magic Parrot was also now floating in space.


    His mouth moved rapidly, mouthing magic incantations.


    In a second, this Parrot was done.


    He pointed a single w at them, then he said a single word.


    "Ska¡­doosh!"


    A wave of magic energy washed towards them, pushing them even further away deep into this.

 Chapter 539 A Clash Of Calamity Grades! [4]

    ?


    The broadcast was still on.


    It was broadcasting the humiliation of the Ackermann State.


    3 Beast Priests overpowered 5 of the strongest warriors of this State.


    It was a mixture ofbat instincts, battle experience, and chemistry that enabled these 3 Beasts to dispose of their opponents so efficiently.


    In one moment, the threat to them was no longer as acute.


    The 1st Upper Beast Priest kept the extremely powerful old monster Heavy Artillery Mechanic at bay, leaving them to deal with the others.


    Now, they already dealt with them.


    The force of those 2 AOE attacks would push them so far away and into the that they had no chance of recovering and rushing back immediately.


    This now bought them more than enough time for the spaceship to escape the atmosphere of this and finally have the chance of transitioning into warp travel, this was their best opportunity to escape.


    The powerful beak of the Magic Parrot started pping in a rhythmic manner. Instantly, he already chanted another magic incantation.


    Bzzz!


    A yellow magic energy covered all 3 Beast Priests.


    Then, the next moment, they found themselves inside the spaceship.


    The Golden Langur was now the one operating this Spaceship. As soon as they returned inside, in one movement, he pushed the energy reactor and engine of this beast to its maximum state as it turned into a blue streak in the air.


    Whoosh!


    It shot upwards at a ridiculous speed, hoping to charge off and break through this''s escape gravity.


    Wom! Wom!


    [Warning!ary Defense movement detected!]


    This was the Capital of a Star System level civilization.


    Of course, they hadary defense measures.


    Theary defense systems of Macouver was multiyered.


    The first was a thick cloud of quagmire that covered the atmosphere of this, slowing the speed of anything that tried to charge through it.


    The secondyer was a domain of lightning that was powerful enough to fry the defenses of most spaceships that were not rugged enough to withstand it.


    The thirdyer was ayer of chemical clouds.


    Created by some of the best minds that the Ackermann State ever produced, thisyer of Macouver''s sphere had chemicalpounds that could eat through most of the most powerful metals avable in the Minerva Star System.


    As for thestyer, it was the peak of Ackermann technology.


    They call it the Punisheryer.


    Erected at that exact part of the atmosphere just before escaping the''s gravity, these 2 square-shaped machines like gigantic satellites literally got their energy from the Giant Star of the Minerva Star System.


    This technology literally created a literal mini sun above Macouver.


    The Sun is a huge ball of hydrogen and helium held together by its own gravity. These 2 machines were created using the sun as a model, and their modes of punishment were 2, the sr winds and the maosphere.


    Once activated, the extremely hot energy at the core of the field formed by these 2 machines is carried outward by radiation.


    This is apanied by materials leaving the corona of the Punisher at supersonic speeds, forming powerful attacking forces that bes the sr wind.


    Like a literal sun, the Punisher also generates maic fields that extend out into space. In the atmosphere, the force of these maic fields is humungous.


    No enemy has ever escaped its field, not even the best of the Nak State.


    Even the metal in an organism''s blood is attracted and crushed by the sheer maism, no metal in the Star System level could escape this zone of sheer destruction and punishment.


    This was what the Beast King and his Beast Priests were going up against.


    BOOM!


    The spaceship charged into the firstyer.


    It slowed down but the Goldenngur activated something like a nitro booster as this spaceship became hot, it vibrated like its metallic frame could not withstand the pressure of so much force as it forced its way through thisyer.


    Once they entered the secondyer, the domain of lightning, the spaceship wobbled and shook as it was affected by the thick lightning bolts.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The spaceship wobbled and staggered in the storm of lightning bolts!


    Its shied generator kept on activating yet it kept on being destroyed.


    A Beast Priest was the only reason why this spaceship was not sted to pieces already. Floating inside the spaceship, blood was already flowing from the nose of the Magic Parrot as his magic circles barely held the spaceship steady.


    They escaped the secondyer, just barely.


    Then they entered the thirdyer of chemical clouds.


    Sizzling sounds reverberated!


    Wom! Wom!


    [WARNING¡­!]


    [WARNING¡­!]


    The spaceship suffered even as the Magic Parrot coughed blood but he strained and kept the spaceship steady and protected.


    The metal hull of this spaceship was already being eaten into.


    The Beast King looked at his subordinate.


    "For freedom". He muttered.


    "For freedom". They all replied as their eyes narrowed in determination.


    The Magic Parrot did it, the spaceship barely managed to escape the thirdyer before he fainted out of exhaustion, his mana was already used up.


    The spaceship became unprotected again, against the most dangerousyer.


    "DO IT!" A loud voice ordered.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The Punisheryer was activated.


    BZZZZ!


    Above Macouver, a machine that could destroy the world seemed to be activated as a heavy field of maism engulfed the whole.


    It was only focused on the atmosphere but its passive effect affected the. Instantly, every individual in Macouver felt their hair stand.


    It was that feeling of an imminent lightning strike.


    At this same moment that the Punisheryer was triggered, 3 new Ackermann Cmity Grade Supers finally arrived close to Macouver having started rushing here as soon as the President was assassinated.


    They did not enter the though, they waited because of the Punisher.


    Clearly, the Beast King and his Beast Priests were already doomed.


    The Punisheryer wreaked havoc!


    The spaceship was rocked inside this domain of destruction!


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Sr wings were unleashed!


    A maosphere was created!


    CREAK!


    The spaceship''s metal hull creaked from the stress.


    In 2 seconds, this spaceship would be ground to dust!


    The Plecostomus and the Strength Elephant only looked with a cold look on their faces, they could do nothing at this moment.


    The Golden Langur left control of the spaceship and looked at his leader.


    Both nodded at each other and the Demonic Lion closed his eyes.


    "Supreme Talent: The Greatest Showman!"


    BZZZ!


    A strange power spread across this.


    Blood flowed from the eyes of the Demonic Lion, he roared. "STOP!"


    Instantly, something strange happened.


    The Punisher reacted like a human, a fan.


    When fans met their idols, they tended to be overwhelmed by the excitement of the moment, they be unstable. At this moment, the Punisheryer seemed to be a fan that met his idol, the greatest showman.


    It did not lose its sensespletely but it became overwhelmed.


    Overwhelmed, it''s maism and sr winds reduced.


    Then, the Golden Langur made his move.


    "Self-Created Technique: Wisdom!"


    BZZZZ!


    Limitless.


    The brain and its potential were limitless.


    All his life, this Golden Langur focused on his mind, training it to be intelligent and to control it better. He was the 2nd Upper Beast Priest now, and his power already grew to a ridiculous level.


    A gigantic brain power seemed to engulf Macouver.


    It affected everyone present except the other Beast Priests.


    Everyone else, including the Cmity Grade Supers felt like they were losing a part of their brainpower.


    Yes, they indeed lost it, they felt more stupid for a moment and all this mind power gathered before the spaceship. Precisely, before the Wisdom Priest.


    They gathered in the form of a whirlwind of yellowish green energy.


    This was the manifestation of concentrated brainpower.


    The Golden Langur opened his eyes, they shed.


    "WISDOM!" He said again.


    Then the gathering of brainpower exploded!


    BOOOOOOOMMM!


    The massive explosion erupted outward, damaging the Punisher!


    This machine briefly shut down.


    Before it could reboot, a severely damaged spaceship shot out of the. The 3 Cmity Grades outside could not attack the spaceship though, this was because they were stunned, they just lost a part of their brainpower.


    They were horrified. ''How?''


    The spaceship already escaped, remaining the 1st Upper Beast Priest.


    Where was the Snow Monkey?


    Seeing them escape, his eyes gleamed.


    "Supreme Talent: Snow Monkey King!"


    BZZZZ!

 Chapter 540 A Clash Of Calamity Grades! [5]

    ?


    While the other Cmity Grades were shing against the terrorists¡­


    BOOM!


    The gigantic Spear of the mech suit stabbed forward like a viper as it shed with the Snow Monkey''s staff again as a shockwave explosion erupted out from their immediate surroundings.


    This attack was not just one, it was abo skill.


    Instantly after the first stab, a second one followed which was quickly followed by an upward sh before ending with a whirlwind sh!


    BOOM!


    The Snow Monkey was steady, he withstood it all with his staff.


    "Why are you doing this?" The old Mechanic directlymunicated to this beast as they fought.


    No one else heard this, this battlefield was so high-level that none of the others could take part in it, not the Ackermann Cmity Grade Supers nor the other Beast Priests. This battlefield waspletely isted from the others.


    "¡­" The Snow Monkey did not answer.


    The canonuncher of the powerful mech suit aimed again, then it unleashed another powerful canon, burning through another bunch of resources.


    This time, the Snow Monkey was forced to do more.


    "Bloodline Ability: Snow Domain!"


    An icy blue domain filled with icicles and snow like a storm appeared round him, protecting him from the extremely powerful canon.


    The old Mechanic was not done though.


    "Why are you really doing this?"


    "Till now, I''m yet to see your so-called Beast King fight. With your power, you have everything that it takes to go solo and build your own organization".


    "Why serve another beast, one who is even weaker than you?"


    "So long you promise not to attack the Ackermann State, we can even help you in building your organization into one of the biggest in the Minerva Star System".


    "Surely, that is better than being a terrorist with some ideals right?"


    "¡­" The Snow Monkey merely stared back while focusing on the battle.


    The old Mechanic sighed. "You''re intelligent so I''ll be straight with you".


    "Really? You really believe in his sh*t of one noble cause of liberating all beasts in this star system?"


    "Is that even possible? It''s been like this since the inception of time".


    "The sentient beings own most beasts, they have pets".


    "It''s just nature".


    His eyes narrowed still seeing no response. "Even if you and your Beast King seed in wiping out the current leaders of the Minerva Star System, it won''t stop".


    "Other ruling civilizations wille and they will do the same thing".


    "It''s inevitable".


    "It''s the cycle of life".


    Throughout, the Snow Monkey never answered once, but¡­


    "Err¡­" The old Mechanic was shocked as he looked upwards.


    He watched as a single Plecostomus caused total havoc among the other Cmity Grades of his race, and as the 2 others showed great chemistry, helping the Plecostomus to push them far away.


    He watched as they boarded the stealth ship and started escaping.


    He watched as they charged into theary defenseyers.


    Everything changed in an instant.


    He watched them pass the 1styer, then the 2ndyer, then the 3rdyer. Seeing them enter the 4thyer, he turned back to face the Snow Monkey.


    Despite his attention being elsewhere, their fight was never interrupted.


    "Yourpanions will die".


    "If you want them to at least survive, you have to take my offer".


    "Pledge peace and allegiance with the Ackermann State and we will help you build your own organization or even army¡­" He paused.


    He just felt a part of his brainpower being chipped away!


    "¡­!!!" His eyes widened in shock and horror.


    "WISDOM!" The voice reverberated loudly with calm and authority.


    BOOOOOOOMMM!


    The Punisher¡­ was damaged!


    It briefly shut down.


    "¡­!" This old Mechanic was shocked.


    He was over 6 centuries old but even with his long years of experience in the Ackermann State, never had he seen this ultimate defense that was built far even before his birth been damaged.


    His eyes widened in horror. ''Who did that?!''


    In his moment of shock, he forgot something, or better still someone.


    ''You have 5 seconds''. The Snow Monkey heard the Golden Langur''s voice reverberate in his head; his eyes gleamed.


    "Supreme Talent: Snow Monkey King!"


    BZZZ!


    Instantly, his already golden body and golden armor gained another extra shine of gold as a golden aura engulfed his body from head to toe.


    This Supreme Talent was the Snow Monkey''s trump card.


    It worked by burning his bloodline power, rapidly draining it in exchange for a massive boost that was almost unattainable by any other means.


    His fiery golden eyes narrowed as he observed his path upwards.


    The old Mechanic read his intentions.


    "RAAAH!" He roared as he thrust his spear forward to block his path with all the power generated by the mechanical arms of his mech suit.


    This Mechanic reacted fast, almost perfectly but his reaction was based on the understanding of the previous power of the Snow Monkey that he was already used to, he did not take the current boost in power into ount.


    "Self-Created Technique: Ice Thunder Breathing!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Ice came out of the mouth of the Snow Monkey as he breath, then¡­


    BOOM!


    The Snow Monkey became a golden streak surrounded by thunder as he charged upwards at a ridiculous speed barely perceptible to the naked eye.


    As he moved, he counted in his mind. ''1¡­''


    "Block him!" The old Mechanic roared as he overloaded his mech suit.


    This gigantic mechanic rose in pursuit.


    Thousands of warships instantly moved to intercept him.


    The other Ackermann Cmity Grades also moved to intercept him.


    Then, attacks came from every side.


    "Self-Created Technique: Flowing Style Staff!"


    Whoosh!


    The Snow Monkey swung his staff and the golden aura apanied it.


    At this moment, time seemed to slow down before him as he calcted all the thousands of attacks that were rushing towards him this very moment.


    ''2¡­'' He counted in his mind, then he took a defensive stance in the air.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Sounds of collisions reverberated in the air.


    The Snow Monkey already calcted all the scenarios and reacted impably. The attacks from the warships were more numerous but more bearable, he faced these attacks with his armor alone, trusting in its defense.


    They collided against it with power as he felt his lungs tighten.


    He ignored the breathlessness and focused on the attacks of the Cmity Grades, these were the ones that were really important and could stop him.


    The 3 Psychics worked together to send over a gigantic psychic st that took the shape of a roaring tiger head. If this attack hit him, his mind would be affected for a few seconds no matter how strong he was, this was uneptable.


    Vroom!


    The Snow Monkey swept his staff at the air and the air rippled.


    Instantly, the sheer force behind this swing swept up a horrifying amount of snow and wind energy as it collided against and blew the psychic current away.


    The Elementalist attacked with a fiery st that was extremely concentrated to make it seem like an extremely dangerousser st.


    SHING!


    The Snow Monkey felt his Staff vibrate in his hand as at thest moment, he ced the Staff horizontally before his face, blocking theser in the nick of time. It was mere inches away from his face as his staff became hot.


    The Summoner arrived with all 5 of his contracted beasts.


    Not just that, he was in the process of opening the portal to the beast ne to call in an army of beasts to swarm this beast and prevent him from escaping.


    DING! DING! DING!


    Everything happened so fast, it was like a mirage.


    From that blocking position, the Snow Monkey repositioned his staff so fast that it left a blur as he rapidly stabbed at the approaching beasts.


    It was not a lethal stab but their effects were to push the beasts back.


    They were flung back with an incredible amount of force.


    ''3¡­'' The Snow Monkey counted again in his mind.


    The next moment, his hair stood on end.


    This time, the old Mechanic fired an overloaded canon shot!


    It rushed through the air like an approaching force of doom from hell!


    "Self-Created Technique: Drilling Stab!"


    The next moment, the Snow Monkey raised one leg up to gather power as he thrust his staff forward with all his power while applying spin to it.


    The Staff spun rapidly as it seemed to turn into a dangerous drill.


    BOOOOOOOM!


    It drilled into and tore the approaching deadly canon apart!


    Yet, that was not all.


    The old Mechanic threw his spear in onest lethal attack!


    BOOM!


    It flew through the air with incredible power and force!


    Again, the Snow Monkey felt his hair stand on end but he remained calm.


    Still in the drilling state, he used his momentum to barely shift his staff to the position of the spear as he struggled to change its trajectory.


    Then, he did an extremely fast backflip in mid-air.


    Whoosh!


    The spear shot past him with power, barely missing him as it took some particles of his golden armor along as it shot into space.


    ''4¡­'' He counted again in his mind.


    He looked at the now weaponless mech, he finally spoke. "All we want is the liberation of all beasts that are in very".


    "Do that and peace will reign".


    "Or else¡­"


    "Or else what?" The calm voice of the old Mechanic reverberated.


    "Or else, next time, it won''t be me who woulde".


    "It would be my 2nd Junior brother, the Destruction Priest".


    ''5¡­''


    BOOM!


    Heunched into space like a rocket.

 Chapter 541 Aftermath

    ?


    The Snow Monkey was gone.


    They almost couldn''t believe it.


    The Ackermann warriors and champions have never been as shocked and scared as they were today. Despite beingpletely shaken by the events of today, they still knew their duties and they dared not hesitate.


    Arge chunk of the warships elerated upwards in pursuit.


    None of the Cmity Grades followed them. Having failed to stop them while they were inside their, they knew that pursuing was futile.


    The warships charged forward in pursuit.


    The old Mechanic was toozy to say anything to them.


    He only looked at the golden trail that was left by the Snow Monkey. ''What a powerful beast!''


    As he watched the warships charging out though, his eyes suddenly widened.


    He was shocked. "STOP!" He roared.


    It was already toote for some.


    After the devastating attack of mind power from the Wisdom Priest, the Punisher was damaged and it briefly shut down. Emphasis was on briefly.


    This was a defense structure that was built by the very first rulers of the Ackermann State. It was extremely powerful and sturdy, standing the test of time.


    As soon as it shut down, it automatically started repairing itself.


    6 seconds were all it took for this defense structure to repair itself.


    And since they didn''t deactivate it, this meant that this defense structure was still on. And now, hundreds of warships were going after the Snow Monkey and the other assassins in pursuit.


    What followed was not for the weak-willed¡­


    BOOOOOMMMMMM!


    About 200 warships were alreadyfortably inside it''s domain, none of them survived, 200 state of the art warships violently exploded on the spot!


    The sr winds obliterated them, not even leaving metal parts behind.


    As for those that were barely out of its domain, they also suffered.


    The effects of the maosphere took center stage.


    CREAK! CREAK!


    The closest warships could not resist, they were either directly dragged into its domain and obliterated or their metal was simply squeezed into scrap, turning their inhabitants into bloody mush.


    The sight was gory and intimidating.


    "SHUT IT DOWN!" The old Mechanic roared.


    They were finally snapped out of their daze.


    The Ackermann warriors in theary defense headquarters dared not hesitate as they finally shut it down, but this was only after it already imed over 300 warships. The sight was chilling.


    The worst thing was that the Beast Priests kept on broadcasting everything.


    The whole Minerva Star System saw the Ackermann State at its lowest.


    Just today, they watched their Presidential Vi get burned down.


    They watched as the tyrannical President Dominik was assassinated like amb. He could barely offer any resistance.


    They saw the rage of one of the ruling states of the Minerva Star System.


    5 Cmity Grade Supers, this was a force that could sweep through most corners of the Minerva Star System yet they had it stationed in their capital.


    This was a show of the Ackermann''s power but it still wasn''t enough, even after the appearance of a 6th and extremely powerful Cmity Grade Super.


    They watched as the Snow Monkeyfortably dueled with the best that the Ackermann State had to offer.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    They watched as a Plecostomus, a fish toyed with their Cmity Grades.


    They watched as 3 Cmity Grade Beasts dominated 5 Ackermann Cmity Grade Supers, throwing them into the distance to kickstart their escape.


    They watched as their famed imprable defense was activated.


    They watched as the myth of this imprable defense was broken.


    Today, they learned something, Ackermann State was not invincible.


    Then, they watched as the Snow Monkey finally started escaping to regroup with his allies. They watched as all the Ackermann forces tried to stop him.


    Then, they watched as this single beast maneuvered through all of them.


    They watched as he escaped without them being able to do anything.


    Then, they watched as the stealth spaceship elerated before jumping into warp travel, disappearing from this dimension.


    Today was a dark day in the history of Ackermann State.


    ¡­


    The aftermath of the 2nd broadcast was instant.


    The dread induced by the name; Beast Coalition increased to an all-time high.


    Few beast consortiums dared to keep hold of their enved beasts, they willingly released all of them, surrendering, begging for forgiveness, and requesting of the Beast Coalition toe carry their brothers.


    In the streets, you could see civiliansing out to release their pets while kneeling to plead and ask Duhkha, the Beast King for forgiveness.


    It was a star system-wide atonement of sins.


    While all this happened, and as the broadcast already stopped, the old Mechanic finally came out of his mech suit as his maic energy crackled around him, enabling him to levitate in the air without his mech suit.


    He looked at the destruction all around this.


    Looking ahead, he briefly focused on the corpse of thete President.


    He took a deep breath before connecting to themunication channels of all military outposts of Ackermann state.


    "As stated in Section 2, Sub Section 98 of the Ackermann Code of Law, I will assume the role as the Interim President of Ackermann State till this terrorism problem is solved and a proper election can be held".


    "We salute you, Mr. President".


    Bzzz!


    The old Mechanic teleported away alongside his mech suit.


    A few minutester, he was in a meeting with all the surviving higher-ups of the Ackermann State. All the Grade A Supers were also gathered.


    Seated at the head of the round table, the old Mechanic looked at them all. "To those who don''t know me, my name is Elyon".


    "We need to address this terrorist problem".


    "I went through thest activities of ourte President before his death and I have to say, I was not impressed". His eyes narrowed dangerously.


    "As his advisors, how can you allow him make such stupid decisions?"


    They all kept quiet in the face of his reprimands.


    Right there before them, the old Mechanic started a phone call. A few secondster, the call was answered.


    "President Dunk, this is Elyon, we need to talk".


    Silence came from the other end for a few seconds. "Elyon¡­"


    "Long time no see¡­"

 Chapter 542 Start Of An Empire

    ?


    Everything that happened, happened in just one day.


    A lot of the gctic citizens who witnessed it didn''t feel so though.


    They felt like all these happened across a period of months.


    In the morning, as soon as the yers returned, the speech from the beast King came which was quickly followed by the ensuing chaos.


    In the afternoon, President Dominik of Ackermann State was assassinated.


    The Beast King and his subordinates escaped sessfully.


    Now, in the evening, the Beast Coalition were just picking up beasts.


    yers across the Minerva Star System were shocked.


    [You havee in contact with the energy check of a Cmity Grade A Beast: Apocalypse Bear- The Bear Priest!]


    [You havee in contact with the energy check of a Cmity Grade A Beast: Necromancer Cockroach- The Death Priest!]


    [You havee in contact with the energy check of a Cmity Grade A Beast: Doom Cow- The Destruction Priest!]


    [You havee in contact with the energy check of a Cmity Grade A Beast: World Camel- The Shelter Priest!]


    After seeing what happened in Ackermann State, by now, the raging blood of some of the higher-ups of Nak State already calmed down.


    None of them no longer dared keep on arguing with their oundish ns of aggressively attacking the beasts, they made a truce with the beasts.


    The meeting already came to an end, and its oue?


    A few minutes earlier¡­


    President Dunk looked at Elyon, a warrior that he knew since their younger days. "I tried to speak with Dominik earlier but in vintage Dominik style, he cut me off arrogantly. Well, we all saw the oue of that".


    "What the beasts just aplished is not just a show of strength".


    "It is also a show of wits and intelligence".


    His eyes narrowed. "The Beast King is an intelligent fellow".


    "He understood both me and Dominik so much that he was able to predict that I will call him to trye up with a n since it affected both of our territories, he also predicted that Dominik would react like a d*ck".


    "He trusted his prediction to that extent and went on with his n".


    "Well, he was right, everything yed out like he nned".


    "The escape part was dangerous and risky but what mattered is that he came out of it alive, he survived, now he already aplished his ultimate goal which is setting the fear of his moniker, Duhkha into the hearts of every gctic citizen".


    "Now, they fear him".


    "Some even revere him".


    His face became serious. "15 Beast Priests were originally recorded today, but with the addition of those you fought, that is 20!"


    He emphasized in a deep voice.


    "We don''t know how many Beast Priests the Beast Coalition has but it is safe to assume that they can field more than 20 Beast Priests".


    "Inparison, you know how many Cmity Grade Supers we have as a State, 14!" He emphasized by pointing a finger up.


    He looked at everyone present. "You and I know how terrifying of a power that is, we can''t afford to mindlessly antagonize these beasts".


    "We would suffer far too much".


    "And some of them are abnormal too".


    "That Golden Langur that unleashed that unreal attack, the Snow Monkey who called himself the Primate Priest, and the Doom Cow who calls himself the Destruction Priest, it is clear that they are on a whole other level of their own".


    "There is no way a power of this level can be groomed right underneath our noses without us noticing for years".


    His eyes narrowed as he looked at Elyon. "It''s clear that they have outside help which makes it more paramount that we thread carefully".<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "First, I think we should relent to their demands, disband every beast consortium where beasts are being enved to let them have their way".


    "Let them take all the beasts that they can".


    "If they leave, fine. If they don''t leave, fine, we would have bought ourselves some time to prepare for theireback".


    "During this time, what I want is information about them".


    "Ourbined power can do a lot. We have a lot of information channels, there is no way they can stay hidden, let''s find as much information about them as possible to n a proper way to counter them".


    Elyon nodded. "I agree, that is the most logical thing to do".


    President Dunk grinned. "I like you more than Dominic already".


    Elyon did not respond. "Let''s hope we don''t die to this".


    "Let''s hope". Their virtual projection shook hands.


    On this day, an unofficial alliance began between the Nak State and the Ackermann State against the extremely powerfulmon enemy, the Beast Coalition that was already taking this Star System by storm.


    ¡­


    [You havee in contact with the energy check of a Cmity Grade A Beast: World Camel- The Shelter Priest!]


    The yers watched with amazed expressions of their faces as this gigantic Beast appeared above their. All the beasts that were released in this were gathered together and transported to the on its back.


    With the mere presence of the Destruction Priest alone escorting this beast, no person dared to antagonize them, they swaggered from to, collecting all the beasts that were already released.


    Hourster, when it was alreadyte at night, the Shelter Priest and hispanions finally disappeared, taking a ton of beasts with them.


    Bzzz!


    They arrived at a region of space deep and far away from colonized space.


    There, the Shelter Priest stopped.


    All the Beast Priests of the Beast Coalition gathered at this very moment.


    President Dunk was right, there were more than 20 Beast Priests and every single one of them was a powerhouse in his/her own right.


    Below, the hundreds of millions of rescued beasts cheered.


    "This is just the start". The Beast King spoke.


    "For long, we have been spurned, persecuted, and brutalized".


    "No longer will we live under their arrogant footprints".


    "For once, we shall be independent".


    "An Empire does not need the approval of others to start, all it needs is our approval and we have it". His eyes gleamed. "Today, I decree the establishment of the Beast Empire".


    "And I am your Emperor".


    Roars and cheers erupted from the beasts.


    "This is just the start". He repeated. "We will expand and grow stronger".


    "We will not stop till everyone of our brothers is saved".


    Amid the explosive roars of the beasts, the Golden Langur whispered into his ear. "He is here".


    Without saying a word, the Beast King waved onest time at the hundreds of millions of beasts before him before turning to leave.

 Chapter 543 The Beast Empire

    ?


    The Beast Empire was established inside the world of the World Camel.


    This was their greatest advantage, mobility and stealth.


    To the watching eyes of the Nak State that were sent to secretly follow the World Camel, they watched this gigantic Cmity Grade Beast float deeper into space before suddenly fading into nothingness.


    Apart from its gigantic size and the world on it''s back, one of the greatest abilities of the World Camel was the ability topletely hide its massive body.


    This gave the Beast Coalition the luxury of staying hidden.


    "He is here".


    As soon as the Golden Langur whispered to the Beast King and they left, another Beast Priest took centerstage, an extremely powerful Deer.


    This Beast Priest did not participate in the first beast raid.


    He stayed in the World Camel''s world throughout.


    At this moment, as soon as the Beast King left, he took over. "Citizens¡­" His loud voice echoed everywhere. "The World Camel is now our new home".


    "After rescuing all our brothers from the hands of the enemies, our goal is to go to a territory at the edge of the Minerva Star System to build our Empire".


    "From there, we can start our rise to power".


    "But to achieve this, we need to set some rules and protocols in ce".


    "First, we need to organize the world of the World Camel".


    "We already divided this world into 18 continents, and each continent has a specific use which will be inhabited by specific beasts".


    "Unlike normals, the World Camel''s world is special".


    "His power segregates the natural mana in the air into different types of mana attributes, and they determine the climate of each continent".


    "The biggest and most prominent continents are the Wind Continent, the Fire Continent, the Water Continent, the Earth Continent, the Lightning Continent, Light, and the Darkness Continent".


    "These are the 7 basic elemental continents and every beast with a specific affinity corresponding to each continent is expected to settle there".


    "This will not only elerate your growth speed with your affinity, it will also increase efficiency of our building since you will all be working".


    "To build the ideal Beast Empire, every beast should work".


    "You will mine the best ore and materials from each of your continents and provide it for the construction of the Beast Empire that will be starting soon".


    "To be recognized as an Empire, we need buildings, we need structures".


    "We need cities".


    "Also, we need weapons to fight against our enemies".


    "From today, our home is here. We will keep on fighting till we liberate everyst beast in very in the Minerva Star System before going to our new home".


    "The other continents apart from the basic 7 represent other minor affinities, beasts with corresponding affinities should settle there".


    "Don''t go yet," This Deer stopped the beasts. "Know this,ziness shall be punished, the same way that excellence and hard work will be rewarded".


    "We need Governors to govern the new Empire".


    "Prove yourself and you stand a chance to be a Beast Governor".


    The beasts cheered in an excited manner.


    The powerful Deer no longer kept them waiting. "Dismissed".


    Activities started on the world of the World Camel for the first time in a very long time, the World Camel and every beast served their purpose.


    ¡­


    An isted world in the world of the World Camel¡­


    Bzzz!


    6 Beast Priests appeared inside this isted world.


    The Demonic Lion, the Beast King stood at the head, the others were behind him. The Snow Monkey, the Golden Langur Sage, the Doom Cow, the Deer Demi-god, and the Bumblebee.


    These were the top 5 Beast Priests of the Beast Coalition.


    Every other beast in this organization turned Empire were beneath them.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Only 1 of these Upper 5 did not participate in the first raid.


    Like the Snow Monkey, the Deer Demi-god was not a gigantic beast like the Doom Cow and some other beasts. He was only like 3 times bigger than a normal Deer but he exuded an extremely dangerous aura.


    Like most of the other Beast Priests, he could stand on his 2 feet.


    His posture was always bent like that of a cat about to pounce on prey.


    Jewelries and ornaments adorned the body of this beast from head to toe, including his horns. His eyes were blood-red, his main weapons were his ws, both on his hands and feet and his extremely hard horns.


    The Deer whomunicated with the other beasts was just one of the many doppelgangers that he could create and control at will.


    Thest of the Upper Beast Priests was the Bumblebee.


    This Beast Priest was a Mechanic and was the cornerstone of the Beast Coalition. He was the virtual mechanic responsible for beating all the mechanics of the Ackermann and Nak States at their game.


    He was not like a normal Bumblebee; his body was part organic and part mechanic. Insectile wings buzzed from his shoulders as he moved.


    He also walked upright like a human.


    His eyes were blue and looked like those of a robot.


    His chest was a special machine that enabled him to directly dive into the quantum realm, massively amplifying his power as a Virtual Mechanic.


    His 2 arms were special transformable mechanic weapons.


    Sitting at the edge of this isted world was a pedestal, and at this moment, these 6 powerful beasts stood before the pedestal.


    Energy stirred the next moment as a ck existence appeared.


    His whole body was ck and blurry, his features could not be detected, he was the one. "Congrattions". His voice reverberated.


    "Thank you". The Beast King replied with a neutral look on his face.


    "I did it for my dream to liberate every enved beast in the Minerva Star System, thank you too for aiding my goal".


    "What do you want?" The Beast King went straight to the point.


    The ck blurry face looked at them, even if he/she was showing emotion, they could not tell. "Smart".


    "We helped you achieve this important feat".


    "Now, my superior wants something in return".


    "I thought we agreed that I will liberate every beast in the Minerva Star System before I begin taking orders from you to act?"


    "That was what we also thought but ns change".


    The Beast King''s eyes narrowed. "Spit it".


    "More chaos".


    "¡­" The Beast King silently looked at him.


    "I don''t spread chaos for no reason, I do it to save my kin".


    "I doubt your Destruction Priest feels the same way". The ck blurry face focused on the Doom Cow who emotionlessly looked back at him.


    Then, the eyes of this ck blurry face turned sharp, the pressure increased.


    "My superior wants results, he wants chaos".


    "He helped you once, he can dethrone you and help another to the same ce that you currently are in".


    "If you want to retain your status, do it".


    The Beast King''s eyes narrowed. "I want to know this, are you responsible for the uprising and chaos digging deep in the Emerald Chaos Star Field".


    The tone of the voice remained unchanged. "Do what you are told and don''t ask questions, my superior only asks once, you better do it".


    Bzzz!


    The ck blurry face disappeared.


    All 6 Beasts stood silently looking at the ce it just disappeared.


    "Chaos¡­," The Golden Langur muttered. "All for what?"

 Chapter 544 Settling In

    ?


    [Congrattions! Your Mercenary group haspleted Mercenary Mission: The Beast Menace!]


    [You have been rewarded with the personal favor of a Nak Admiral: Ask for a reward of your choosing!]


    ¡­


    [Congrattions! Your Mercenary group haspleted Mercenary Mission: Kill the Beasts!]


    [You have been rewarded with a nk favor from the Nak State: Ask for a reward of your choosing!]


    Like Legs expected, what followed the speech of the Beast King was total chaos thatsted a full day.


    During this full day, the foundations of the Minerva Star System were shaken.


    Already set paradigms were disrupted.


    For 50 years, Legs built his mercenary group, he did not just build it for building''s sake. After meeting the seer and learning more about his reincarnation and his 2 predecessors, he now had a clear path to follow.


    ording to the seer, getting to the Grade A realm would enable him to unlock the blueprint that would enable him to repair the Star Radler.


    Since knowing about the Star Radler, not once in these 50 years had he stopped thinking and specting about this Universal Treasure.


    ''What is it exactly?''


    ''What is it''s use?''


    ''Is it directly connected to our reincarnation?''


    ''Can it give me the answers that I want?''


    ''Can it help me return back to Earth?''


    ''Do I even want to return back to Earth?''


    These were questions that he asked often.


    After spending decades in this world already, Legs was already totally ustomed to it, he didn''t really yearn going back to Earth like he felt when he just made his way to this world.


    Knowing that getting to the Grade A realm would enable him unlock the blueprint, he expanded his mercenary group and used it to further his goals.


    Expanding the mercenary group opened more channels to yers.


    If he wanted, he could have warned the Nak State about the existence of a future force like the Beast Coalition but he did not.


    From day one, Legs was not someone that had so much empathy to care about people far disconnected from him.


    Of course, he was still affected by murdering people just for the sake of it but he already grew to be indifferent to it through the years.


    Today, the numerous deaths today were indirectly caused by him.


    But he convinced himself. ''If I was not here, the Beast Coalition would still happen''.


    ''Besides, who knows? Perhaps, if I warned them, it would have still happened, making no difference while I would have lost my initiative and future knowledge advantage''.


    ''I can''t afford to lose that''.


    He prepared the emergence of the Beast Coalition to prepare and fatten his yers to refill his coffers of experience points that was already exhausted long ago. He needed experience points.


    Another thing was, to get to the Cmity Grade, a Super also needed to condense his Cmity Path which was something that held back so many Supers.


    For the past 50 years, Legs worked on this.


    Having gotten all 4 Cutting-Edge Summoner ss knowledge already, his power was at the peak of the Grade B realm among Summoners. After 20 years of staying in this world as a mercenary, he condensed his Cmity path.


    From the beginning, he believed in the path of the Shepherd Summoner. Yet, he also never shied from increasing the physical strength of his body.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    His Cmity path was akin to that of a Magic Warrior but instead of adding magic to training his body, he instead added the power of beasts.


    Having got supreme talents that amplified the power of his body already, all he needed was a supreme talent to amplify his Summoner abilities. Unfortunately, for the past 50 years, he could get none.


    Despite this, Legs believed that with enough experience points, he could be a Cmity Grade Super which was his current priority short term goal.


    ''I need to help the yers settle in, then I need to make them spend their experience points, I can''t wait anymore to fully ess the Star Radler''.


    "Master, we''re here". de spoke.


    They were already back in the headquarters of the Mercenary Union. There, Endrick dropped the warriors of the Nak outpost that they rescued including adding evidence of the beasts that they killed along the way.


    This way, they were finally eligible for the rewards.


    Legs was no longer personally in charge of misceneous things like rewards gotten from missions. His assistant, Christensen, was in charge of everything. After dropping the warriors, he jetted off elsewhere.


    Admiral Zhao sought him out.


    ¡­


    Legs'' spaceship was given ess to this as soon as they were recognized. Going in, Legs met a familiar face and the Admiral.


    "Long time". Legs shook Onana''s hand with a grin.


    About a decade ago, Champion Onana went into seclusion training to consolidate his Cmity Path. He was close to bing a Cmity Grade.


    As soon as Legs saw down, Admiral Zhao looked at both of them, focusing more on Legs. "Do you know anything about the Beast Coalition?"


    "I know a few things but I can know more if you want".


    Admiral Zhao nodded in understanding. "This is exactly why I sought you".


    "Over the years, you have proved yourself to be incredibly reliable at missions, mostly information-gathering missions".


    "You saw the power of the Beast Coalition and what they are capable of".


    "We don''t want to sh with them head-on".


    "We want to take the calmer approach now to study them first". He focused on Endrick. "We''re looking forpetent volunteers to help us track down, observe, study, and feed us information about the Beast Coalition".


    "Do not be worry about the price, the Nak State always pays its debts".


    Legs nodded; he could testify to this. "I can do it".


    "Good". Admiral Zhao expected this.


    Before standing up, he looked at Legs again. "I heard that those immortals of yours are back". His brows furrowed. "How are they? Do they have anything to do with the sudden eruption of the Beast Coalition?"


    "No". Legs calmly answered.


    "Ok". Admiral Zhao nodded.


    He left soon after, he had other things to do.


    Once the Admiral was gone, Legs finally had time to roll back the years with Champion Onana before he finally left Kronic Beam.


    ''With these favors from the Nak State, I can have ess to the eventual materials that I will need to repair the Star Radler, hopefully''.


    His eyes gleamed. ''As for now, I just need to help the yers settle in''.


    He returned to the headquarters of the Nightmare Mercenary group.

 Chapter 545 Plan For More Chaos

    ?


    2 weeks after the day of the speech¡­


    The world of the World Camel.


    At this moment, the world of the World Camel already experienced a huge change. After 2 weeks of relentless work, inside this gigantic Camel was no longer just a vacant world, it was now transformed.


    The already underwent some minor terraforming.


    Pathways were already dug out by some of the most powerful Earth affinity beasts to create seas and oceans, giving this world a livelier look.


    In just these 2 weeks, vegetation already filled this.


    The different continents were now much more developed.


    And most importantly of all, the Capital City of the Beast Empire was already being constructed. Several different construction works were still going on at the same time as the Metal and Earth affinity beasts worked overtime.


    Mostly, despite their incredible intelligence, since they didn''t go to school to learn like most of the sentient races, beasts were more or less still dumb.


    Not with the introduction of the Wisdom Priest though.


    The 2nd Upper Beast Priest, the Golden Langur and the 4th Upper Beast Priest, the Deer Demi-God were responsible for transforming this.


    With the urging of the Wisdom Priest, one of the very firstpleted buildings that was erected in the, precisely in the Capital City was the Beast Academy to teach all the beasts of this Empire basic knowledge.


    The academy building waspleted in just a week and within the next week, lectures and activities already started with the Wisdom Priest at the head.


    Apart from that, other important buildings like the war strategy building and the pce of the Beast King was already being built some time ago.


    Today, the pce of the Beast King was finallypleted.


    It was a gigantic building modeled after the head of a lion.


    The gigantic mane of this Lion were made with sturdy metal that could withstand the bombardment of multiple warships or the full-powered attack of a Cmity Grade Super, it was by far the most expensive construction so far.


    After thepletion of the building, it was finally opened today by the Beast King who crowned it as the beginning of the era of the Beasts.


    Immediately after the opening ceremony, there was a gathering of Beast Priests inside the pce of the Beast King.


    A lot of other activities were going on but with this pcepleted, the Beast King dared not defy them. He felt that it was time to take action again.


    At this moment, all the Beast Priests of the Beast Coalition were gathered.


    In total, excluding the Beast King, there were 24 Beast Priests!


    This was 25 Cmity Grade Beasts!


    In the Minerva Star System, this was a ridiculous amount of power.


    Inside the Pce of the Beast King, the Demonic Lion like expected sat at the throne. Below him were 5 chairs, bigger and more luxurious than the others.


    Seated on these 5 chairs were the 5 Upper Beast Priests.


    The 1st Upper Beast Priest, Snow Monkey, the Primate Priest.


    The 2nd Upper Beast Priest, Golden Langur, the Wisdom Priest.


    The 3rd Upper Beast Priest, Doom Cow, the Destruction Priest.


    The 4th Upper Beast Priest, Deer Demi-god, the Mammalian Priest.


    Then the 5th Upper Beast Priest, Bumblebee, the Mechanic Priest.


    Beneath these 5 chairs were 20 more chairs upied by the other Beast Priests that served the Upper Beast Priests. From how they were seated, it could easily be seen which Upper Beast Priest they were under.


    The Apocalypse Bear, the Bear Priest sat directly beneath the chair of the Doom Cow. Clearly, he was under the 3rd Upper Beast Priest.


    Alongside him under the Doom Cow were the Devourer Shark, the Devourer Priest; the Berserker Turtle, the Turtle Priest; and the Speedster Wolf, the Wolf Priest. These were the Destruction Priest''s followers.


    Directly beneath the Deer Demi-god was a miniaturized silhouette of the Shelter Priest himself, the World Camel.


    Alongside him under this Upper Beast Priest were the Detective Dog, the Dog Priest; the Strength Elephant, the Elephant Priest; and the Goldfish, the War Priest.


    Directly beneath the Snow Monkey was the Necromancer Cockroach, the Death Priest.


    Alongside him under this Upper Beast Priest were the Demonic Mandrill, the Demon Priest; and the Scarlet Macaw, the Storm Priest.


    Directly beneath the Goldenngur was the Queen Valkyrie, the Vulture Priest.


    Alongside her under this Upper Beast Priest were Stally, the Oscar Fish, the Emissary Priest; the Nightmare Owl, the Watcher Priest; and the Magic parrot, the 2nd Emissary Priest.


    Then directly beneath the Bumblebee was the Plecostomus, the Roaming Priest.


    Alongside this always frowning Beast Priest under the Bumblebe were the Proboscis, the Priest Scientist; the Racoon, the Pirate Priest; and the Trickster Snake, the Deceit Priest.


    These were all the Beast Priests that were under themand of the Beast King. At this moment, they were all quiet and solemn as they looked at the leader.


    Standing up and facing them with his back, the Demonic Lion bowed.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "This mark 50 years since we lost the Crocodile Priest, the Hare Priest, and the Fox Priest". His face was solemn and sad.


    "Like we promised, again, we are here to remind them that we never lost sight of the goal that pushed us to band together in the first ce".


    "We still believe in the cause".


    "We still believe in the good news".


    "We still believe in the Beast Empire".


    "We''vee to reaffirm that we still believe in a world where Beasts can live freely without the fear and pressure of living under the sentient races".


    "Today, we reaffirm our promises before the vestiges of their remnant wills".


    "We shall never lose sight of our goal".


    "We shall never lose sight of our goal". The other Beast Priests echoed as mimicking their leader, they also bowed in respect.


    Immediately after paying respects to the dead, the Demonic Lion turned to face his Beast Priests again and this time, his face was serious.


    "2 weeks ago, wemenced our n".


    "We''ve been nning towards it for decades and finally, we could execute it". He looked at all the Beast Priests present. "I don''t know how you felt about it but personally, I felt excited¡­" He paused.


    "I felt liberated".


    "In just 1 day after that incredible show of power, we were able to rescue millions of our brothers that were stuck in very for years".


    "We were finally able to partially break the curse that has been guing us since the inception of the gctic age".


    "From inception, we were always the hunted".


    "But for once, we became the hunters".


    His face became even more serious. "But that is not enough".


    "To truly achieve our goals, we need to rescue and liberate every single beast in very to elerate our ns of building our Beast Empire".


    His eyes narrowed as he looked at them. "Shaking the table once is not enough, we need to do it again and again, and again, and again".


    "We need to do it until every single beast is safe and reunited with us".


    The eyes of one of the Beast Priests narrowed as he raised a hand.


    "Yes".


    The Plecostomus frowned. "We stayed in the dark for so long, funing our ns because we knew that were foundations are not yet sturdy enough to take on the Ackermann and Nak States ande out victorious".


    "Against each individual state, perhaps we can emerge victorious but we clearly don''t have that luxury since we already attacked both states".


    "If we attack just one, the other is sure to intervene".


    "At this moment, the States are clearly apprehensive of our overall power, that is why they''re slowing down to probe us and know us more".


    "With our current deterrence, this is the perfect time to slowly rescue all our enved brothers, unnecessary violence is not the way".


    "We will lose more than we gain that way".


    The Beast King calmly stared at the Plecostomus. "You know, our ancestors thought like you. They were even more extreme, they thought they could coexist with the sentient races and you know where thatnded us?"


    He narrowed his eyes. "Here".


    "Against the sentient races, peace was never an option".


    "This is my decision, we will cause more chaos to rescue more of our brothers, is that understood?"


    The Plecostomus frowned a bit but he recovered. "Yes, King".


    It was normal to have differences in views but this Plecostomus would not push it more than that, he had absolute respect for the Beast King. Afterall, he was the one who saved them from the fear of being a rogue lone beast.


    The Beast King nodded. "I have been thinking about this for a long time and I already arrived at the perfect n which is to designate missions".


    "First, Emissary Priest Stally".


    "Yes, King". The ridiculous-looking Oscar Fish answered.


    "You are to¡­"


    He focused on the next Beast Priest. "Roaming Priest, you shall be designated¡­"


    He went on to the next Beast Priest. "Bumblebee¡­"


    For an hour, the Beast King kept on giving out missions.


    While the Beast Coalition nned in the dark, the Minerva Star System instinctively got set for more shaking.

    ----


    Legs took a deep breath after looking at this.


    Compared to 50 years ago, his stats did not experience a meteoric rise like when he leveled up a grade as he only leveled up 4 times without the yers.


    If he wanted, grinding for experience points, he could level up more during this time frame but he deliberately held himself back to focus on more aspects of his strength as a gctic Summoner.


    Legs'' stats may not have improved, but his overall power definitely experienced a meteoric increasepared to 50 years ago.


    It was how he was able to survive the vicinity of a battle of Cmity Grades.


    Compared to before, his focused training over the years already enabled him to unlock 3 new passive abilities thatplemented his strength even more.


    During the past 50 years, he didn''t just focus on himself. Apart from focusing on his mercenary group, he also focused on making his students stronger.


    After 50 years in Space, Uranus was already an incredibly powerful Grade B Titan and during this time, he got ess to more Titan inheritances.


    Like Legs suspected, unlike in Darvis, not all Titans were extinct as there were other Titan traces left in space.


    There were none surviving in this Star Field but there was surely more surviving outside. Alone in this Star Field, Uranus got ess to numerous inheritances left by Ancient Titans and was how Legs benefited.


    About 15 years ago, after fulfilling the requirements of an inheritance due to his tough skin for a Summoner, Legs got an inheritance.


    He became a half-Titan, finally shedding most of his limitations as a human.


    This alone increased Legs'' power multiple fold and also gave him one of his 3 passive abilities.


    Apart from the partial time stasis, the beast sense and Predator''s best man were abilities he got from decades of fighting alongside his beasts.


    This was not his greatest change though, there were others.


    During these years, he finally also created his own self-created abilities. Though they were only 2, they were incredibly powerful and fit his battle style.


    In these 50 years, apart from taming more beasts to his repertoire, changing his weapon set entirely, he also already expanded his army of beasts.


    Predator was his only contracted beast without an army of his own.


    Bran, Ak, and Warp Prime had gigantic beast armies.


    At this moment, Legs was really a one-man army. His incredible strength was one of the main reasons why his mercenary group got so much renown.


    Over the years though, his most significant change was his cmity path.


    The cmity path was a cutting-edge knowledge that was avable to all sses, and it was the only way for Grade B Supers to step into the Cmity Grade.


    The Cmity Grade was a milestone progression in the super tree, and toplete it, a Super must firstplete his cmity path.


    A Cmity path was a culmination of all the life experiences of a super, including battle style, preferred weapons, and a lot of other details.


    Developing a Cmity path was like transitioning from teenage-hood to adulthood. A real adult already had ideals and principles that he stuck to.


    The same way for a Cmity Grade. A cmity path was a specific style and ideal unique of every Cmity Grade, it was like a will that embodied them that should never be broken by another Cmity Grade''s will.


    Legs knew the battle style that he wanted already, but to truly condense his path, he needed to truly believe in it and breath it like it was air.


    An adult was not an adult because he said he was an adult.


    An adult was an adult because his ways were that of an adult.


    This was thest hurdle that Legs needed to pass to truly prove himself as one of the most powerful Supers in gctic space.


    Legs'' eyes shed open; he clenched his fists. ''My Cmity Path¡­''


    ''It''s only a matter of time, I should finish it before this version ends''.


    He suddenly heard the sound of a bell ringing.


    He looked at the door as his energy check extended outside.


    He smiled; he came here for a reason. "The duel is about to start".

 Chapter 547 Champion Onanas Path

    ?


    Legs was in Kronic Beam to support his friend.


    After meeting Champion Onana, as he grew to know this Nak Champion, there was something that Legs observed. ''Delzebub!''


    Champion Onana was obsessed with this so-called Delzebub.


    For a long time, he never asked until years ago, Champion Onana finally told him on his own volition. Delzebub was actually Onana''s brother.


    Viewed as talentless for much of his childhood, his father neglected him and gave all the attention, care, and focus to his elder brother, Delzebub who never failed to shine and exceed the expectations of his father.


    In essence, Onana was abandoned.


    He never cared much about it though, until the death of his mom.


    His mom''s death pushed him into the path to power. ''Mom died protecting the vi to keep me alive, where was Dad?''


    ''He escorted Delzebub to the Wild Forest for training''.


    ''Dad neglected and doomed his wife to death''.


    ''There were no powerful guards at home that day, they all left with him''.


    ''Mom protected everyone but in exchange, she lost her life¡­, for what?''


    That day, a deep-seated hatred for weakness was born in him. ''If I was not so weak, mother would not have died!''


    ''If I was not so weak, father won''t abandon mother!''


    ''It was all my fault!''


    ''It was also Delzebub''s fault!''


    From that day, the eyes at which he looked at his father and brother were just those of hatred as he embarked on the path of power.


    About a decade ahead of him, one of the Admirals of the Nak State took Delzebub in and in no time, he established his position as a Champion.


    Onana felt more challenged as he trained like his life depended on it.


    His hard work paid; he was epted by Admiral Zhao.


    ''Finally!'' He was excited.


    ''I will also be a champion!''


    ''I will prove my power!''


    ''I will beat Delzebub!''


    ''I won''t stop until he pleads for forgiveness!''


    ''I won''t stop until he begs mother''s soul for forgiveness!''


    Using that as his motivation, he trained for years and also became recognized as a Champion. Champions of Nak State could officially challenge each other, and each of these battles were widely followed across this state.


    Over the years, Champion Onana challenged Delzebub 5 times!


    Each time, he lost.


    The desperation after each loss pushed him to try more extreme means in his search for power, this was until he met Legs and Titania.


    Meeting Legs changed his life and a lot about him.


    After 50 years of training, working on his Cmity Path relentlessly, Champion Onana felt that he was ready to face his brother for the 6th time.


    Having been years since any duel between 2 Champions of Nak State, the attention of the whole state was attracted to this spectacle.


    Legs came today to support his friend.


    He wanted to see how far his friend already progressed.


    This famousbat arena in Kronic Beam was absolutely gigantic, spanning about 5 kilometers with spectator stands spanning round it.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    At this moment, Legs already left his room and was currently seated in one of the VIP seats that were closest to the shield isting the arena.


    The 2 contestants in this duel were already in the arena.


    Having made sacrifices in his quest for power by turning himself into a cyborg, Champion Onana looked nothing like Delzebub.


    It was hard to believe that they were brothers.


    Delzebub was the genius student of the Storm Admiral, Admiral Jackie.


    Like his master, Delzebub was a mage, a powerful one.


    Having fullyprehended the path of the Whirlwind already, Delzebub had aplete path to advance to the Cmity Grade but he held himself back.


    To build a better foundation to increase his power in the Cmity Grade, Delzebub wanted toprehend 2 more mage paths. At the moment, his focus was on the path of Raging Fire and Lightning.


    At this moment, he wore green leather armor filled with magic enchantments that perfectly blend with his short spiky green hair.


    Delzebub was one of the most powerful Grade B Supers out there.


    His opponent though, Onana, was not a pushover either.


    HUM!


    Activating his maic energy, Champion Onana geared up instantly.


    He wore histest mechanic suit.


    ~END-GAME~


    "Wee back Master".


    Hearing that familiar voice, Champion Onana briefly smiled.


    He used the same A.I that controlled Berserker for End-Game. Yes, that was the name that he saw fitting for his new Mechanic suit.


    A few years ago, Champion Onana finallyprehended his first path.


    Heprehended the path of Mechanical impact.


    Instantly after this, his proficiency in bringing out the full potential and power of kic impact weapons increased by a crazy margin.


    Champion Onana didn''t stop there, like Delzebub, he also wanted toprehend a 2nd path. His goal was the path of Mechanicalpactness.


    The first path that he alreadyprehended and mastered increased the physical impact of all weapons that his mech suits wielded. This instantly made him scrapser and energy weapons from his mech suits and battle style.


    Champion Onana''s machines were now mostly mechanical power based and they were immensely good at that, they were powerful.


    If he couldprehend the path of Mechanicalpactness, the physical solidity of his mech suits would increase even more, almost making it on par with the physical body of Pugilists to enable sharp bursts of physical power attacks.


    This was the path mostly taken by Mechanical Pugilists.


    Unlike the old Berserker, the End-Game was an entirely different mech suit. It was bulkier and far bigger, also, its weapons were on a whole other level of size.


    At the shoulders of this mech suit were mounted 4 kic projectileunchers. Both arms of this mech suit were huge Gauss Canonunchers.


    The belly of this mech suit was a gigantic machine that couldunch boulder-sized physical projectiles at enemies that could deal devastating damage.


    Muzzles were on both knees of this mech suit and when activated at the right angle, they could shoot hammers almost as fast and powerful as the Mjolnir.


    This was Champion Onana''s cmity path.


    Today was the day to test how far he had grown in power.


    DING!


    The bell rang, the duel began.

 Chapter 548 The Duel! [1]

    ?


    DING!


    The bell rang for the duel to begin.


    "¡­" Silence.


    The 2 brothers did not charge at each other immediately, from a distance of about 100 meters apart, they simply red at each other.


    Delzebub''s eyes were calm and collected, only seemingly annoyed.


    In sharp contrast, Onana''s eyes were dangerously narrowed like a snake.


    To the spectators watching in the stands, they felt like they were witnessing 2 Dragons having a staring contest before a death match. The pressure was palpable as it felt like all hell could break loose any moment.


    Slight creaking sounds reverberated the next moment as the mech suit''s both arms raised and pointed at the mage.


    Champion Onana didn''t pull the trigger immediately though, his eyes narrowed even further as he red at his brother.


    He was not someone who loved talking during battle but his next actions showed how emotionally invested he was in this battle.


    "What do you have to say?" He asked in a calm tone.


    "You''ve always been the chief cornerstone, the one who was loved and pampered by dad, the one who grew arrogant from power and looked down on his own mother".


    "From a young age, you always made pursuing power your priority".


    "You cared about nothing else, you didn''t care about friends, your own mom, not even your own biological brother, all you cared for was yourself".


    "You ignored everything in your pursuit for power".


    "You made my childhood a nightmare".


    "Every conversation with you left me more traumatized".


    "Even in mother''s death, you only had bad things to say about her". At this point, Champion Onana''s voice shook, clearly he was no longer as collected.


    "You desecrated mother''s grave, not acknowledging her as her son". At this point, Champion Onana''s voice transformed into rage.


    "Why?!" He roared.


    Champion Onana was clearly not concerned that he was literally airing his family matters to everyone. Throughout the years and in previous duels when he was younger, he already vented all his anger and told everything.


    Today was just an extension from where he stopped.


    Looking at the nonchnt look on his brother''s face as he roared, Champion Onanaughed in a self-depreciating manner. "Yes, that''s you, mother*cker!"


    "Despite your pursuit of strength, here I am".


    His eyes gleamed. "I am at your level; I now have the power to challenge you".


    "I havee here again to prove to you that your path was wrong".


    "I am here again to make you apologize".


    "This time¡­" His eyes gleamed with power. "I will seed".


    "This time, I will make you regret and apologize before mother''s grave!"


    Delzebub finally opened his mouth to speak, breaths were held.


    "Pathetic". He said a single word.


    "Even after beating you 5 times, you never grew up". His voice was calm and filled with contempt and it infuriated Champion Onana to no end.


    "You''re still that weak, pathetic, and talentless little brother".


    "You''re still that kid held back by emotions".


    "Today won''t be different, I''ll beat you like usual".


    "And I''ll also teach you a lesson". His eyes squinted slightly. "To never talk in a battle that you''re serious about".


    BAM!


    "Self-Created Technique: Surf the Wind!"


    A gust of wind streaked through this battle arena with immense speed.


    One moment, Delzebub was still lecturing his brother and the next moment, he was already before the gigantic mech suit.


    His magic staff was already on his hand and at this moment, waving it slightly, a mighty convergence of wind energy already appeared at its tip.


    Champion Onana felt his danger senses tingle.


    He did not panic though.


    Due to the emotion of the moment, he may have talked longer than he even wanted but this did not affect his preparation for this duel by the slightest.


    This time, Champion Onana was really prepared.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    His exposed head was instantly covered by metal as the mech suit entered itsplete state. At the same time, a shield generator was activated.


    BOOM!


    A powerful eruption of wind sted against the shield the next moment.


    The shieldsted only an instant before shattering after weakening the strike, the residual power pushed with power against the mech suit.


    The gigantic mech suit could not keep its bnce as it tipped over.


    Fire sted out of the legs of the mech as taking advantage of this power, Champion Onana sted back with his mech to reset the battle.


    Delzebub charged after him aggressively.


    At this moment, this mage had a powerful green shield surrounding his body as he pursued, this was his mana shield.


    As soon as Champion Onananded on his feet, the battle really started.


    The 2 hands of the mech, the Gauss Canonunchers were already pointed at the mage and this time, he did not hesitate.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Mech Resonance!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Impact Force!"


    BOOM!


    Force rippled through the body of this mech before transferring into the metal floor of thisbat arena as it cracked from the force.


    Then, the gauss canons wereunched with force.


    Bzzz!


    Delzebub saw the danger and reacted immediately, as like a floating leaf in the wind, he dodged in the nick of time, evading the danger.


    That was not all from Champion Onana though.


    He unleashed the kic projectileunchers that were mounted on the shoulders of the End-Game. Instantly, physical projectiles filled thisbat arena, hitting with immense force as Delzebub kept on dodging.


    Delzebub was not just passively dodging, he attacked, sending out powerful wind shes and manipting the wind around thisbat arena.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The spectators saw bright explosions of light as these 2 extremely powerful Nak Champions shed aggressively, affecting the terrain of thisbat arena.


    For the first few seconds, they fought to a stalemate.


    After being on the receiving end of a barrage of wind spells, Champion Onana took some damage to his mech to create an opening. Then for the first time in this duel, he was finally able to make use of the weapons in his mech''s knees.


    BAM!


    A gigantic hammer shot with immense speed at the mana shield, Delzebub did not expect it and could not dodge as the hammer hit directly.


    Instantly, 30% of the integrity of the mana shield was sucked.


    His eyes widened in surprise.


    That was still not all, this was just the start of abo.


    As soon as the hammer hit, barely distracting this powerful mage, hands like those of a spider''s appeared the next moment from the back of the mech suit as with energy at their tips, they grabbed the mana shield and kept it in ce.


    Delzebub felt immense danger at this moment but he could not move.


    The hands of the mech suit were immensely strong. Clearly, Champion Onana spent a ton of money to reinforce them.


    This was one of the effects of owning a metal to himself.


    With his opponent held in ce, the belly of the mech suit opened.


    "DOOM IMPACT!" Champion Onana roared with a loud voice.


    Delzebub''s eyes widened as he saw the boulder-shaped projectileunch with immense power and speed from the belly of this mech right at his face.


    If this hit, his mana shield would not be able to shrug the damage off.


    And with the hands of the mech, he would not be able to escape.


    This was an attack that had the potential to kill him!


    At this moment, time seemingly froze.


    Delzebub''s eyes narrowed. "You did improve¡­, impressive".


    "Cmity Manifestation: Whirlwind Domain!"


    BZZZ!


    The immensely powerful boulder-sized projectile was blown off-course!

 Chapter 549 The Duel! [2]

    ?


    A domain!


    This was the pinnacle of super power manifestation that was achievable to Cmity Grade Supers, it enabled them to unleash their full power.


    Fullyprehending a path enabled a talented Super to create a corresponding domain. Once this domain is unleashed, the presence of that specific element or power is amplified exponentially.


    It bes countless times easier to express your power at your best state.


    It was like the way Ice Elementalists were at their strongest in a cier-filled while Fire Elementalists were strongest in a raging inferno.


    An Ice Elementalist who alreadyprehended his path and created a domain could activate his domain and turn his battlefield into a cier world.


    Originally, this was a technique exclusive to Cmity Grades, only the most freakishly talented of Supers could unleash it at the Grade B realm.


    This was exactly what Delzebub did.


    "Cmity Manifestation: Whirlwind Domain!"


    For a moment, time seemed to stop as the boulder-sized physical projectile charged towards Delzebub, intent on obliterating him into pieces.


    The boulder-sized projectile did hit his mana shield.


    All power in the shield was obliterated in an instant.


    But before it could hit the real target¡­


    BZZZ!


    Green energy erupted like an avnche.


    A powerful hurricane seemed to pick up around this Mage.


    Instantly, across like a region of a kilometer around this battlefield, the effects of this powerful hurricane filled everywhere but it was most concentrated at that center where the 2 opponents fought.


    This was Delzebum''s domain!


    The effects of the hurricane affected the boulder-sized physical projectile instantly, barely reducing its speed but this was all Delzebub needed.


    With eyes now swirling like a whirlwind he flicked his left hand at the projectile which responded instantly by swerving harmlessly towards the left.


    The immense power of this domain actively sapped Delzebub''s power.


    It was one reason why only Cmity Grades were supposed to use it. The increase in power that it brought was crazy but the mana expenditure just to activate it waspletely ridiculous.


    There was no way Delzebub activated this just to defend.


    His eyes narrowed even further, seeing his opponent now vulnerable after his sudden eruption, this was his chance to counterattack!


    His left hand instantly started drawingplicated hand signs in the air.


    In an instant, he was done and his right hand flicked the staff.


    "Special Mage Spell: Inferno Hurricane!"


    Yes, Delzebubprehended the Whirlwind path but he was also pursuing the path of the Raging Fire. Now, hebined these 2 powerful paths in an attack!


    BOOM!


    A raging inferno mixed with a rampaging hurricane advanced towards Onana. For a moment, it seemed like it was done.


    After thatbo and his deadly attack, Onana seemed to be winning.


    Delzebub turned the tides in an instant though and clearly, he wanted to ed the battle instantly. Now, Onana was now the one deeply in danger.


    The raging inferno hurricane advanced towards Onana with power.


    Breaths were held across this famousbat arena, then¡­


    "Cmity Manifestation: Metal; Gravity Domain!"


    BZZZZ!


    Instantly, another domain descended!


    An even more heavy domain!


    Delzebub''s eyes widened in shock for the first time since this duel started. "You¡­!"


    Champion Onana smirked. "I told you, this time, I''m prepared".


    This was the culmination of his training for 50 years.


    With ess to a metal and with apetent Technician Mechanic like E working in his, he had all the resources to experiment and grow.


    Apart from building new mechanic suits, he worked on his cmity path.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    A few years ago, afterprehending his cmity path, he was also able to create his domain. This was a secret that only some of his closestpanions knew about, not even his master knew about it.


    This was his trump card to defeat Delzebub.


    Unveiling his trump card instantly changed the direction of this duel.


    Revealing their domains meant only one thing, the battle would end soon.


    They simply didn''t have the mana to sustain a domain for long.


    Since the beginning of this duel, it hadsted less than 3 minutes yet they hadunched so many attacks, now they wanted to end it once and for all.


    Onana''s domain was a heavy gray domain where gravity reigned.


    In this domain, the force of his Mechanical Impact increased to the very peak. Every attack from his weapons hit with up to 6 times more power!


    nting his feet in this arena even as it cracked, he went berserk!


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    The Gauss Canon Launchers in ce of his hands grew hot.


    The 4 mounted kic projectileunchers grew even hotter.


    Leaning to point his knees forward, hammers kept on popping out of the muzzle with immense power and speed.


    Delzebub was literally facing a weirder version of the God of Thunder.


    Delzebub was not ideal nor passive though, he retaliated aggressively.


    From the moment that Onana unleashed his domain, he knew that the oue of this duel was already open in the air. He could not afford to slow down anymore; he could only follow his current momentum and keep on attacking.


    Delzebub fully unleashed the power of the path of the Whirlwind.


    He moved and floated like the wind.


    He attacked like a hurricane.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    An explosion of bright lights filled thisbat arena.


    It was rare to see 2 such talented Grade B Supers go all out.


    Delzebub gradually be more injured as his mana shield kept on being popped, and at the same time, his aggressive attacks chipped away at the mech.


    2 of the mounted kic projectileunchers were destroyed first, then the 3rd followed. Onana was not given the chance to use the strongest weapon of his mech, the projectileuncher at the belly of his mech due to his opponent''s speed.


    Everything became chaotic, one of the muzzles in the mech''s knees jammed.


    The other blew apart after an explosion of raging wind and fire.


    Delzebub bled but the mechanic suit was already falling apart.


    Who would win?


    At thest moment before the mech suit turned to scrap metal, Champion Onana suddenly dumped his gauss canonuncher hands, transforming them into normal hands as he pulled at something from the back of the mech.


    Champion Onana pulled out a gigantic Cutting-Edge Great Sword.


    BAM!


    He shed forward with the sword.


    Delzebub did not expect it, he was injured, he could not dodge.


    Was this his end? His loss?


    As the Great Sword rapidly descended¡­


    BZZZZ!


    Arge veil suddenly appeared, covering Kronic Beam Ring.


    Wom! Wom! Wom!


    rms red across this.


    The spectators looked at the skies, they saw warships, enemy warships.


    "An invasion!" A spectator shouted in horror.

 Chapter 550 Invasion!

    ?


    To the normal spectators, this battle was definitely a draw.


    But to the experts in the stands, they had a clear winner, Champion Onana.


    From the moment that Champion Onana revealed his Metal; Gravity Domain, the tides of this battle and its result was no longer set in stone.


    Bothbatants were forced to go all out and reveal their full power.


    Watching from the stands, Legs was impressed, he felt ambition.


    Watching their domains wreak havoc, massively amplifying their powers, he felt a yearning. ''This is my goal!''


    ''This is what I aim to get in the future!''


    Yes, he was yet to create his cmity domain.


    Watching the battle progress, he was also able to see his clear winner.


    At the moment, Delzebub was already revealing all his cards. He already used all his strongest spells and self-created techniques, he kept on using them but even as Onana''s mech received more injuries, it still stayed rtively intact.


    In Champion Onana''s case though, he already revealed most of his trump cards but this was definitely not thest resistance that he could put up.


    At this moment, Champion Onana''s ss advantage as a Mechanic gave him the edge over his opponent. Unlike Delzebub, he didn''t just have one vessel.


    At the moment, the End-Game was his best mech suit but having ess to a full metal for himself, he had the money for much more luxury.


    Over the past 50 years, Champion Onana created no less than 30 new mech suits himself while E helped him create over 50 newbat mech suits.


    BERSERKER Version IV was one of these mech suits.


    If Delzebub prevailed and destroyed the End-Game, it showed his power but even at that, Champion Onana was not yet spent.


    He could simply bring on more mech suits.


    Even if his stamina and mana was exhausted by then, his opponent would also be exhausted and with the sheer base stats of his mech suits alone, he could demolish Delzebub a hundred times out of a hundred.


    This was why to the experts; he was the winner of this duel.


    At his home in his, Admiral Zhao watched with a proud look on his face. ''He''s grown''. He thought.


    For the first time since embarking on the path of power due to the death of his mom to oppose his father and brother, Champion Onana won, or better still he came close to winning before it was interrupted.


    As soon as Champion Onana pulled out the Great Sword, Delzebub''s fate was sealed as the mighty cleaved down at him with immense power.


    Delzebub felt gripped with fear, that fear of death.


    He felt all his instincts scream death at him.


    He was stunned. ''Onana will win?!''


    He felt desperate. ''Onana can''t win against him!''


    In thisbat arena,batants were not allowed to die. Just before they could, thebat arena had settings to intervene and save thebatant that was about to die.


    Despite this, Delzebub only felt worse seeing the Great Sword ruthlessly cleave down at him, he could see the look in Onana''s eyes.


    His eyes were red in hatred.


    ''Apologize!''


    ''Apologize!''


    Onana didn''t say it but Delzebub could see it in his eyes.


    For the first time in all his life, he didn''t have an instinctive answer to make his na?ve younger brother look like a fool, Delzebub was petrified.


    At thest moment before the sword hit, before the arena intervened¡­


    BZZZZ!


    The spectators were stunned.


    Arge rippling blue shield suddenly started covering this. Everything happened so fast, one moment, they were focused on the duel and the next, a blue shield alreadypletely covered Kronic Beam Ring.


    Wom! Wom! Wom!


    rms red across the.


    The spectators looked at the skies where they saw warships.


    An army of warships all made in circr shapes like spinning discs in the air. This was not the format of Nak warships, their eyes widened in realization and fear.


    "An invasion!" A spectator shouted in horror.


    At this moment, there were almost a hundred enemy warships above Kronic Beam Ring and at their very front was a familiar face.


    Pinto, the Detective Dog!


    The Cmity Grade beast who called himself the Dog Priest.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    Their eyes widened in realization. ''The Beast Coalition!''


    At this moment though, the Detective Dog was not the one that attracted the most attention, the beast that attracted the most attention floated at the middle of this enemy fleet.


    It was a Mandrill that emanated a sinister aura of evil.


    At this moment, this Mandrill wore a golden war helmet. His body was also protected by a golden armor that seemed to have magical properties.


    On his hands were 2 golden gauntlets emitting magical energy but this Mandril clearly was no Mage, he had Pugilist energy.


    2 golden balls like bombs were on both his hands.


    Their was a thick frown on his face at this very moment.


    He opened his mouth. "I am the Demon Priest!"


    "Naks, hear the good news of the Duhkha, the Beast Priest!"


    "The good news of liberation and retribution!"


    "Today, he has sent me to deliver the souls of you sinners and take your and belongings in exchange and atonement for your sins".


    "By the name of Duhkha, surrender!"


    He asked them to surrender but he did not wait for it.


    He threw the 2 golden balls that were on his hands with all his power.


    BOOM!


    Inside the biggest metal building in Kronic Beam Ring¡­


    Admiral Zhao watched with narrowed and surprised eyes. ''Endrick was right!''


    ''What gave these beasts the confidence and audacity?!''


    At this moment, he could already tell what was going on.


    This was clearly an invasion and battle for a strategic.


    Admiral Zhao was one of the strongest Cmity Grades in Nak State and Kronic Beam Ring was under him. This was one of the prized possessions of the Nak State, ever metal was.


    From the speech of the Beast King, they intended to build a Beast Empire and toplete such ambitions, they also needed to have strategic resources.


    The only problem was, why bother to search for new ones when you could just steal the strategic resources of your enemies?


    The only shocking factor was that Kronic Beam Ring was a strategic at the heart of Nak State. How did the beasts expect to take over this and manage it at the heart of this State where they ruled?


    This was why Admiral Zhao did not believe Legs at first when he told him.


    One of the golden balls was thrown at his building and once it got close enough, it detonated.


    BOOM¡­!


    Instantly, a giant wave of red energy covered the gigantic building.


    This was a magical istion barrier.


    Feeling the energy of this istion barrier, Admiral Zhao''s eyes widened in shock. ''Again, Legs was right!''


    ''Such powerful magic energy, I can''t break from this anytime soon''.


    He looked at another side of this where the 2nd golden ball detonated, that was where the other members of the Nightmare Mercenary who followed their Army Commander here stayed, including Aaron.


    Their 2nd target was Aaron.


    Despite receiving a new body already and getting to adapt to it for years, Aaron had the energy, mana, and techniques but his body simply could not keep up with him to regain his full powers as a Cmity Grade Elementalist.


    At this moment, he was more or less like a Pseudo Cmity Grade but was still immensely dangerous, this was why he was neutralized next.


    With these 2 neutralized, Kronic Beam Ring became exposed.


    Pinto, the Detective Dog and the Demonic Mandrill charged into Kronic Beam Ring as the defensive forces of this went into formation.


    Against Cmity Grades though, their resistance was brittle.


    Just before the sh could begin though¡­


    Admiral Zhao watched everything with narrowed eyes. "Fortunately, I did not listen to mymon sense this time and listened to Legs".


    BOOM¡­!!!


    Another power erupted, Cmity Grade power!


    A Pugilist burst a hole out of a random warehouse in this.


    This neer¡­ was Admiral Kong!

 Chapter 551 Battle For Planet Kronic Beam Ring! [1]

    ?


    2 weeks prior¡­


    Inside Admiral Zhao''s mansion.


    With furrowed brows, this Admiral looked at this familiar Summoner that sat before him again. "You already found information about them?"


    "Yes". Legs nodded confidently.


    "How?"


    Over the past 50 years, this Admiral had seen Legs achieve some pretty ridiculous feats but this time, he simply couldn''t wrap his head around it.


    He looked intensely at Legs. "We didn''t just give this mission to mercenaries, the Nak State and Ackermann States are also working together intensely after our temporary alliance to repel the beasts".


    "Even us have found nothing yet, not even signs of the Shelter Priest".


    "So how did you do it?"


    "Prophecy". Legs answered calmly.


    This Admiral''s eyebrows furrowed even more. "Prophecy? Like Onana added in his report decades ago?"


    "Yes". Legs nodded calmly. "Every time that I use it, it takes a toll on me so I only save it for absolutely important circumstances".


    "I view the threat of the Beast Coalition as an important circumstance".


    Admiral Zhao finally became serious. "What did you see?"


    "Chaos".


    Legs stood up. "The speech and the first raid is just the first of many".


    He turned to look at the Admiral. "The Beast Coalition has 25 Beast Priests excluding the ones that your state killed decades ago".


    "With so many Cmity Grades, they have a lot of options".


    "They don''t want to take the easy approach to build their Empire from scratch. Since they already have the momentum, they would rather cause more chaos in your territories and plunder strategic resources from you".


    "One of these strategic resources is Kronic Beam Ring".


    "From the speech, I know that you can already tell that the Beast Coalition managed to create one of the most fearsome Mechanics in the Cmity Grade".


    Kronic Beam Ring is a strategic to Nak State".


    "It is the biggest metal owned by your state".


    "It produces the greatest amount of metal and other valuable ore that are needed annually for the continued growth of the Nak State".


    "The Beasts want this for themselves too".


    "With the Mechanic Beast Priest, they can make even better use of a strategic of Kronic Beam Ring''s value".


    Admiral Zhao narrowed his eyes. "How do I know if this is not just spection?"


    "You can''t". Legs looked him evenly in the eye.


    The Admiral sighed. "This is war period, the President and the Council won''t agree to send more Cmity Grades to protect my territory when they feel that there are more pressing security concerns".


    "Your prophecy is not enough to convince them".


    Legs simply looked at him. "You have to do something about it or watch Kronic Beam Ring snatched right out of your grasp".


    Admiral Zhao looked at Legs. "Another thing, Kronic Beam Ring is located right at the heart of Nak State, something not even the Ackermann dares to target, what gives the beasts the confidence?"


    "How do they intend to take something this big in their possession?"


    "Afterall, a cannot be moved".


    "¡­" Legs only looked at him.


    This Admiral felt a bit annoyed. "What do you want?"


    "Books". Legs replied immediately. "Archives, anything that will aid me towards perfecting my cmity path and creating my perfect domain".


    Legs was ambitioned, he didn''t want to create a normal cmity path.


    In his previous life as a yer, he was able to be a Cmity Grade Summoner but he was among the weakest of the bunch in the Cmity Grade, this was because of the Cmity path that he got.


    As a yer, all he needed was to spam more experience points at the system and at a certain point, he could level up to be a Cmity Grade.


    The system automatically gave him the weakest of cmity paths.


    In this life, Legs did not want to settle for that.


    He wanted more and hence his demand.


    Admiral Zhao silently looked at him for a few seconds. "Done".


    He paced round this room. "Tell me everything about the invasion".


    "With pleasure".


    When he was done, Admiral Zhao took in a deep breath in shock. "If this is true, then the Beast Coalition is even more dangerous than we expected".


    "Despite all these, the President won''t still believe a prophecy".


    "The best I can do is ask a friend for help".


    "Can you?"


    An image of a Bear-like Nak appeared in his mind, he nodded. "I think I can, let''s hope this works and I don''t lose my territory".


    ¡­<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    2 weekster, now, everything yed out as Legs predicted.


    The Beast Coalition indeed invaded.


    Unsurprisingly, the Nak fleet stationed in Kronic Beam Ring reacted instantly as over a hundred warships rose up into the air to defend the.


    The enemy warships did not go closer immediately to sh with them though, instead, one of their Beast Priests went to do the job.


    Instantly after the 2 golden balls detonated, the Demonic Mandrill dived straight into the atmosphere of this as he became a rotating golden ball.


    His gauntlets were caught in mes as he descended.


    His intentions were clear, to singlehandedly wreak destruction among the Nak fleets since their Admiral was trapped, allowing his warships to roll in after with momentum, steamrolling through every other surviving resistance.


    What he didn''t expect though was the presence of another Cmity Grade.


    "You had your beasts!" Admiral Kong''s deep voice reverberated like thunder.


    "You saw us bow before your demands!"


    "You had your so-called freedom!"


    "You had your chance to escape!"


    "Yet¡­" His eyes glowed with fury as he rose into the sky. "YOU BLEW IT!"


    BOOMMMMM!!!


    A pitch-ck spear tore through the air with destructive impunity!


    One moment, it was thrown by the Pugilist and the next, it already arrived at its destination as the Demonic Mandrill raised both his hands to block.


    BAM!


    The impact was powerful as his gauntlets cracked¡­, but they were repaired instantly as arcane energy channeled through them.


    The red eyes of this Demonic Mandrill glowed in rage.


    He tried to punch the spear with a malicious intent to destroy this weapon but this weapon evaded on its own, returning to its owner.


    Admiral Kong was already charging at the skies like an ascending rocket.


    Once he grabbed his spear again, his eyes became pitch-ck.


    "Cmity Manifestation: Berserker Sea!"


    Admiral Kong was always shirtless, the reason finally became apparent.


    At this moment, if he wore shirts, they would have torn apart.


    Bzzz!


    Like an avnche, what seemed like a sea of sinister mud appeared around him, spanning across a ridiculous region of 2 kilometers.


    This was this Admiral''s domain!


    In this domain, Admiral Kong was at his best!


    It shed with the passive fire domain of the Demonic Mandrill!


    BZZZ!


    "Self-Created Pugilist Skill: Incineration- Berserker God Stab!"


    Admiral Kong''s eyes glowed.


    "RAAH!" He growled as he stabbed his spear forward with all his power.


    ck fire gathered at the tip of this spear and for a moment, the world seemed to being to an end even as the Demonic Mandrill did not back down, feeling the danger as it retaliated aggressively.


    Gauntlets raging with red fire shed with the spear''s ck fire tip!


    BOOMMM¡­!!!


    "Self-Created Technique: Beast Hunter Technique- Combination Attacks!"


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    The shes of explosions in the air from this battle was intimidating.


    Admiral Kong held the Demonic Mandrill at bay but their was still a 2nd Cmity Grade, Pinto, the Detective Dog.


    This Dog charged into the even as the other defense got prepared.


    This was when Legs and his subordinates were also called upon.


    His eyes gleamed with fighting intent. ''Finally!''

    BZZZ!

 Chapter 552 Battle For Planet Kronic Beam Ring! [2]

    ?


    Legs stayed to fight because of only 1 reason.


    He and his mercenary group were not the ones facing the forces of the Beast Coalition head-on, the Nak fleet stationed in Kronic Beam Ring took the brunt of the attack and they had what it took to withstand it.


    The only reason why this valuable was not fortified enough to resist a Cmity Grade assault was because it was located at the heart of Nak State.


    The Nak State was confident that no enemy dared to attack it.


    The Nak State was confident that no enemy dared to invade this deep.


    Common sense deterred any enemy from courting such foolish death, not even the Ackermann State dared take on a mission of such difficulty.


    Clearly though, the Beast Coalition fell outside this range ofmon sense.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The warships of the invading beasts shed with those of the Nak Navy.


    This was not all, a few seconds ago as soon as Admiral Zhao was trapped by the Demonic Mandrill, he gave authority over the security of the to one of his Grade B+ Generals who already took control at this moment.


    "Activate the reinforcement mechanisms!"


    "Activate t battlefield!"


    "Activate stacked shield generators!"


    "Psychics, take teams of 5 men in the magic gathering arrays".


    "Mages, take teams of 3 in the magic gathering arrays".


    "I need the skies to be painted red".


    "Pugilists, get ready to resist theirnd invasion forces".


    "Mechanics, take your positions and start sniping enemy Champions".


    "Elementalists¡­" This General gave orders at the speed of a machine gun and his subordinates did notg, they executed them with frightening efficiency.


    The best of the best of the Nak State served in Kronic Beam Ring, this was another testament to the importance that was attached to this.


    As the enemy warships elerated towards the, spreading destruction against their own warships, one of the orders of the General was acknowledged as Kronic Beam Ring started terraforming.


    Every building and structure on the surface of this retracted in.


    The surface of this became a totally t reinforced metal.


    It created the perfect battlefield for a prolonged battle.


    Even under the concentrated attacks of a Cmity Grade, with this metal reinforced surface, Kronic Beam Ring could survive for hours.


    And before then, Admiral Zhao would have broken from his cage.


    The tactic of the General was to make this a siege battle.


    Resist the enemies, and stall for time.


    Since the enemies were deep in their territory, they were the ones in a hurry toplete this battle. If they could stall them sessfully, they would have won.


    In this siege battle, the Champions shone.


    By now, the duel between Champion Onana and Champion Delzebub was already a distance memory. In just but an instant, bothbatants already forgot their feud as together, theyunched into the skies to defend this.


    The Generalmanded while they led the assault with immense power.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Theyid waste to anything in their path even as the angry beasts also retaliated, taking a lot out of them and their allies.


    The battle was not chaotic but it was extremely intense and bloody.


    Amid the intense battlefield as massive fleets shed, engaging in battles of advanced weaponry, even as the ground forces finally shed, both sides struggling to gain the upper hand, this was when Legs came in y.


    Pinto, the Detective Dog was not an offensive Cmity Grade Beast.


    He was more or less a much more powerful version of Brutus.


    His power was focused on more on the elusive and detective sides. Despite this though, his sheer power as a Cmity Grade enabled him to bulldoze his way through most of the defenses of the Nak fleet.


    This massive Dog did not just attack, he seemed to have a destination.


    Legs and his mercenary group''s role in all this were to aid the Nak fleet. Help them, fight with them, and make sure that they don''t capitte too fast.


    So long they were not fighting directly against a Cmity Grade, Legs and hispanions were more than capable of taking care of this.


    -----


    You have equipped Cutting-Edge Armor: Hex!


    You have equipped Cutting-Edge Weapon: Obsidian Spear!


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning!


    ----


    BZZZ!<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    4 beasts appeared out of the Beast ne.


    They didn''t wait for their owner this time nor did they integrate with him. At this moment, Ak, Bran, and Warp Prime came with their respective beast armies.


    "Stall the enemies as much as possible".


    As soon as they received their master''s orders, they erupted.


    After decades of fighting together, surviving one dangerous ordeal after the other, the chemistry between all 4 of his contracted beasts was now ridiculous.


    Predator had no army of his own but he was the head of this family.


    He was the 1st named beast; he was the leader.


    "ROAR¡­!" Roaring, this Nightmare Beast charged in head-first.


    The others followed with their armies as for a moment, the enemy beasts felt like they were fighting against a Beast Empire led by the Beast Emperor and his 3 Beast Generals, it was an intimidating sight against their overwhelming numbers.


    While his beasts fought, Legs did not remain idle.


    His new cutting-edge armor, the Hex was created by E 2 decades ago. Apart from amplifying his power, it''s greatest benefit and ability was increasing how fast he recovered his vitality.


    Combined with his Supreme Talents, this pushed his power to a ridiculous high that helped him build his current notorious reputation.


    He was a Summoner but he was most notorious for his ridiculous health points and his tank battle style that frustrated the strongest of Grade B viins.


    As for the Obsidian Spear, it was a pitch-ck spear of artistic style.


    It didn''t look like a spear but rather like the brush stick of an artist.


    Whoosh!


    Legs charged forward but not towards the direction where his beasts and his students fought, he charged in the opposite direction where Pinto charged to.


    Along the way, his Obsidian Spear shed and stabbed incessantly.


    Beasts dove at him but he brawled and mauled them to death.


    Despite wielding a Spear and learning some techniques over the course of 50 years already, he didn''t have a lot ofplicated spear techniques, he fought like a beast wielding a spear with much more intelligence.


    If one didn''t look clearly, it would simply seem like he was killing the beasts that managed to escape the first defense blockade but to those perceptive enough, they could see the deep-scanner that he carried along at this moment.


    This scanner could also act as a camera as he recorded everything.


    At this moment, he was following the Detective Dog to get evidence.


    For 15 minutes, he kept on killing as the Detective Dog kept on charging in until he arrived at the southernmost part of this.


    On arriving, he threw a silver ball there as it turned into a gigantic spire jutting out of the ground. Legs recorded everything.


    -----


    Warning! Your actions have been detected by the Dog Priest!


    ----


    Legs felt his heart freeze as the Dog''s eyes looked into eyes, he felt like this Dog''s eyes could see into his soul. The Dog Priest did not attack.


    This was a mere annoying Grade B weakling.


    What he was doing was far more important than killing a weakling.


    With the first silver spire nted, the Dog Priest teleported despite the anti-teleportation measures that were already taken inside this.


    He arrived at the northernmost part of this and nted another silver spire, he did the same to the easternmost and westernmost parts of this as instantly, a certain strange presence was detected in this.


    Legs could not record everything but he at least got something.


    Feeling this new presence, he shuddered.


    "It''s here". He muttered into the hiddenmunication device that was hidden in his neck.


    Admiral Zhao watched everything happen from where he was trapped.


    He confirmed that this was being transmitted to the higher-ups.


    Then he looked with a solemn look on his face and waited. ''Is it here?''


    BZZZZ!


    It was here!


    A blinding silver light appeared out of the 4 silver spires the next moment as this bright light engulfed the whole of Kronic Beam Ring in its glow.


    Then, a humungous spatial tear appeared in space.


    Pitch-ck and silvery spatial energy moved chaotically in this tear.


    Then, Kronic Beam Ring felt a pull.


    BZZZZ!<p Kronic Beam Ring moved!

 Chapter 553 Battle for Planet Kronic Beam Ring! [3]

    Chapter 553 Battle for Kronic Beam Ring! [3]


    Kronic Beam Ring moved!


    "¡­!" Admiral Zhao''s eyes widened in horror.


    The words of the young Summoner reverberated in his head again.


    Then, he asked. "Another thing, Kronic Beam Ring is located right at the heart of Nak State, something not even the Ackermann dares to target, what gives the beasts the confidence?"


    "How do they intend to take something this big in their possession?"


    "Afterall, a cannot be moved".


    Legs did not answer immediately but he answeredter.


    "The Shelter Priest".


    "Huh?" He was confused.


    The young Summoner exined. "The Shelter Priest is one of the oldest and most important Beast Priests to the Beast Coalition, just like the Dog Priest".


    "It has very few abilities but every single one of them is a killer".


    "The Beast King relies on one of them to get something as big as Kronic Beam Ring into his possession, the Shelter Priest named it Spatial Expatriation".


    "Have you ever wondered how the Shelter Priest got so big?"


    "Have you ever wondered how the Shelter Priest is able to house such a big in it''s back? It didn''t ur naturally".


    "It started after he created the Spatial Expatriation".


    "Once activated, 90% of his mana points are exhausted to use it, creating an extremely gigantic spatial tear in space that gains abilities simr to a ckhole".


    "The silvery spatial energy has the pull to attract everything and anything".


    "All it needs is a maximum of 10 minutes without interruption to expatriate a as gigantic as Kronic Beam and integrate it into it''s back".


    Then, Admiral Zhao''s eyes widened in shock. "It has no weaknesses?"


    "Interruption". He looked at the Nak Admiral. "It can only be stopped when the Spatial Expatriation is interrupted, nothing works then but expect the beasts to be prepared towards this".


    ¡­


    Territory of the Beast Empire¡­


    The Shelter Priest¡­


    At this moment, most of the other Beast Priests of the Beast Coalition were gathered as they watched everything transpiring in Kronic Beam Ring.


    They were all tense, the oue of this battle would severely impact the future of the Beast Empire, they had a very small margin for error.


    They watched as the 2 Beast Priests led the invasion force into Kronic Beam Ring. They watched as Admiral Zhao and Aaron were trapped.


    They watched as everything was supposed to be perfect until he came.


    Admiral Kong''s appearanceplicated everything.


    "There''s no way that they could have known about it and there''s no traitor in my family, so why is another Cmity Grade present and The Demonic Lion narrowed his eyes. "Did they know of our n?"


    He asked loudly, not caring about the others near him.


    "There''s no way that they could have known about it and there''s no traitor in my family, so why is another Cmity Grade present and was hidden?"


    His brows furrowed but he kept on watching everything transpire.


    With the Demonic Mandrill forced to keep Admiral Kong at bay, the Dog Priest wreaked havoc and was finally able to activate the eternal space spires.


    They were all relieved.


    The gigantic eyes of the Shelter Priest closed as he concentrated.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Spatial Expatriation!"


    BZZZZ!


    It started happening.


    ¡­


    Nak Presidential Vi¡­


    President Dominik felt that in just the past few weeks, he was already aging a few more decades, this President''s face went white in horror by what he saw.


    Seeing the absolutely humungous spatial tear appear in space, his brain started cooking up different apocalyptic scenarios as he red at his cab.


    "It''s just the ramblings of a fawning Admiral, huh?!" He roared at them.


    "No enemy dares to invade so deep in Nak State territory, right?!" At this moment, he was absolutely angered.


    "I listened to you and now, one of the most important strategic resources in my state is about to be lost, you bunch of¡­" He gritted his teeth and held back his curse as he focused back on the proceedings.


    "Inform all nearby Admirals and fleets, this is my order!"


    "Mobilize all of them!"


    "Tell them that Kronic Beam Ring cannot be lost!"


    This time, the feathers of this state were really ruffled.


    ¡­


    BZZZZZ!


    Wom! Wom! Wom!


    [WARNING! Powerful spatial energy convergence detected!]


    [WARNING! Effects of space-time stabilizers are being neutralized!]


    [WARNING! Impending spatial storm predicted!]


    [WARNING¡­]


    [WARNING¡­]


    Amid all the warning, the spatial tear expanded.


    The spatial fluctuations in the air expanded.


    Kronic Beam Ring moved!


    For a moment, it seemed like the spatial tear gained sentience and became a beast. With a gigantic pitch-ck head filled with silvery rampaging spatial energy, this strange beast''s head opened it''s gigantic mouth wide and sucked.


    Kronic Beam Ring moved again!


    This humungous metal was being sucked towards the center of this spatial tear where the mouth of this spatial beast appeared at.


    The various space-time stabilizing methods employed by the Nak Navy were shattered to pieces as the sheer quality of this space energy tore them all apart.


    The civilians and warriors fighting in this were horrified.


    They saw their home entering the mouth of this spatial tear!


    "NOOO¡­!" Warriors screamed in shock and fear as the terrible spatial fluctuations at the mouth of the spatial tear dissected them to pieces.


    In just 3 minutes, a quarter of Kronic Beam Ringpletely entered the mouth of the spatial tear as the casualty rate increased to over 2 million.


    This was the consequences of not believing Legs.


    At this moment, inside the magical istion barrier¡­


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Admiral Zhao was trying his absolute best now to break out of the barrier.


    The closest reinforcements of Nak Admirals were rushing here after the orders from the President but the only question was, would they be fast enough?


    CREEAK!


    A loud creaking sound reverberated followed by a cracking sound.


    The magic istion barrier holding Admiral Zhao cracked.


    The Dog Priest''s huge eyes widened in shock and surprise.


    The others didn''t believe Legs'' story but Admiral Zhao did. When he knew that a magical istion barrier would be used against him, he already prepared ahead of time, creating weapons especially aimed at neutralizing them.


    This was the only reason why he was able to produce a crack in 3 minutes.


    CRACK!


    Admiral Zhao hit the magical istion barrier with force again.


    Then¡­


    CRACK!


    It shattered.


    Admiral Zhao broke out of his cage.


    But¡­


    BZZZZ!


    The spatial energy in the spatial tear suddenly fluctuated then by the time that it died down, there was another existence in this battlefield.


    It came right out of the spatial tear.


    It was another Beast Priest!

 Chapter 554 Admiral Zhao vs the Strength Elephant!

    Chapter 554 Admiral Zhao vs the Strength Elephant!


    The Beast King''s eyes were narrowed into slits.


    ''How?!''


    By this point, he could already tell that something was wrong.


    From the very beginning of this operation, unlike his previous operations, things were just going against his expectations.


    His n for chaos from the beginning was full proof.


    Sending 2 Beast Priests for the mission was already overkill in his opinion, he went on with it because he wanted to leave as less margin for surprise as possible.


    In his opinion, with the magical istion barrier removing Admiral Zhao from the equation of the defense of this, before his 2 Beast Priests, Kronic Beam Ring would be nothing but helpless prey waiting to be devoured by the menacing predator pouncing on its home.


    His n was supposed to be full proof.


    His n was supposed to work until Admiral Kong showed up.


    Like Admiral Zhao, Admiral Kong had his own territory in Nak State that he ruled over, it did not make sense for an Admiral to just go on leisure trips.


    They mostly spent time in seclusion working on their power and cmity path, trying to pioneer new paths towards increasing their power.


    Admirals were mostly seen only during important missions.


    When Admiral Kong showed up, it was abnormal but the Beast King rationalized it and med it on coincidence.


    Everything else went like he expected, the Dog Priest was able to do what he did best, sniffing out the best possible spots to set up the eternal space spires, and the Shelter Priest was able to do his thing.


    That was all that the n needed to seed.


    The Nak State sent reinforcements but they would be toote.


    The Beast King almost rxed already when Admiral Zhao broke out of his cage. Now, this did it, this Beast King instantly knew that something was wrong.


    ''This is no coincidence!''


    His eyes narrowed. ''It is like they know everything about this n!''


    ''They are simply trying to confirm if they were right!''


    ''But how?!'' This was the question that he couldn''t answer.


    ''There are no traitors in my Empire!'' He didn''t even entertain the thought.


    ''So how?!''


    Kronic Beam Ring was extremely important to the growth and development of his Beast Empire, taking it would aid their growth and expansion and it would have also set the foundation for more chaos in Nak State.


    To finish the mission faster in normal circumstances, he would have decided to send like 2 or 3 more Beast Priests instantly to end the job once and for all.


    But¡­, what if his intuition was right?


    What if the Naks actually knew about his ns beforehand?


    What if this resistance that they were showing was just a bluff to make them underestimate them and send even more Beast Priests in to take it?


    What if an ambush of a dozen Cmity Grades was already prepared nearby and woulde out as soon as more Beast Priests appeared?


    The Beast King was paranoid at this moment.


    He decided to stay cautious, he did not take that risk.


    He sent only 1 Beast Priest, one of the most thick-skinned of them all. He was sure that even in an ambush, he could survive and at least escape.


    ¡­


    BZZZ!


    The spatial energy in the spatial tear fluctuated and by the time that it calmed down, there was already another existence in this battlefield.


    He came right out of the spatial tear.


    It was a familiar face that dominated the broadcast some time ago, it was a face among 5 faces that most Supers in Ackermann State feared.


    It was a gigantic Strength Elephant, the Elephant Priest.


    This Beast Priest going through the spatial tear strained the mana of the Shelter Priest even more but this Beast Priest was capable of taking the strain.


    As soon as he appeared, the gigantic Elephant red at the free Admiral.


    Today, the Strength Elephant was wearing arge and heavy yellow jacket that extended all the way to his knees.


    This jacket was a special magical armor filled with magic enchantments.


    His stone fists grew a shade of green amid the stony gray covering.


    He red at Admiral Zhao. "You are the one!" He used.


    "¡­" Admiral Zhao only looked at him.


    "You killed Old Croc!" He used.


    "You killed Old Fox and Old Hare; you killed my friends!"


    "You are what Duhkha preaches to kill!"


    "Today, you shall die!" His energy erupted like an avnche.


    His job was not anythingplicated, keep this Mechanic busy and prevent him from interrupting with the work of the Shelter Priest.


    The Elephant Priest was more than capable of doing that.


    BAM!


    Kicking the air as stones appeared under his legs, he charged at the Admiral.


    "Self-Created Ability: Strength Punch- Needle Concentration!"


    All the energy of this punch gathered into a needle-like concentration of energy thatunched towards the Nak Admiral with venom in its flight.


    Admiral Zhao felt threatened, he narrowed his eyes.


    "Idan". He muttered calmly as his eyes surveyed everywhere.


    Bzzz!


    Instantly, some boxesunched out of his building that was at the center of his. In mere milliseconds, this mech suit equipped itself on its master.


    This mech suit held a weapon that was familiar to Legs.


    It was the gigantic canonuncher that enabled them kill the Bug Emperor.


    ~IDAN~


    "Master, orders".


    Admiral Zhao said no words, the mech suit moved as through his neural connection, he was able tomunicate directly with this mech on an even deeper level that Champion Onana couldn''t achieve with his End-Game!


    Retreating a few meters, he raised the canonuncher, aimed and pulled the trigger. Then for just a moment, a brief moment, the sun seemed to disappear from where it was far in space, materializing right there in this.


    BOOOOMMMM¡­!!!


    Admiral Zhao was Champion Onana''s master.


    He taught his student about the basic concepts of the path of Mechanical Impact, this was one of the 3 paths that he used toplete his breath through centuries ago into the Cmity Grade.


    He mastered the paths of Mechanical Impact, Maic Energy Amplification, and Shockwave Energy.


    The impact from the canon from theuncher hit like a hammer striking an anvil, the explosion that followed was as bright as the sun.


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Mech Army!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Metal Affinity!"


    "Special Mechanic Ability: Stacked Shockwaves!"


    When the bright light like a sun finally subsided, Kronic Beam Ring already changed. This was Admiral Zhao''s home, it was his territory.


    Not just his territory, it was also his workshop and experiment ground.


    Over centuries, Admiral Zhao already built millions of mechs in this, storing them in hidden warehouses to practice his maic energy amplification and shockwave energy cmity paths.


    Also, after centuries of staying close to it, he already developed an affinity with Kronic Beam Ring that enabled him to use even more power here.


    Now, for the first time in centuries, Admiral Zhao could bring out all his mechs and use his full power for the whole world to see.


    Millions of grey and red mechs filled this all of a sudden.


    All of them aimed at the target.


    Then Admiral Zhao''s maic energy engulfed all of them, amplifying their performance to an even higher level as they finally pulled the trigger, filling the skies with mechanical impact weapons.


    Bullets roamed the skies like a hail storm!


    Gauss canons flew around like floating gifts in a Christmas horror movie!


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The Strength Elephant was forced to always be on the defensive.


    The Elephant Priest was sturdy enough to withstand the incredible damage but that was all that he could do, he could do no more against Admiral Zhao.


    This battlested for minutes and during this time, with so many mechs in hismand, Admiral Zhao also had the leisure to attack the spatial tear.


    He interrupted with it''s expatriation of Kronic Beam Ring.


    The Beast King was angered but was cautious, he sent no more Beast Priests.


    7 minutester, a quarter of Kronic Beam Ring was already sucked into the mouth of the spatial tear. Originally, in this time, this would have been close to being swallowedpletely but there was Admiral Zhao.


    The Strength Elephant was angry. "You filthy Nak!"


    "Fight me head-on if you dare!"


    Admiral Zhaopletely ignored this beast and kept on doing what he was doing. And yes, his effort paid off.


    Just a minuteter, the 8th minute since the spatial expatriation started.


    BZZZZZZZ!


    A bright red light shed!


    A thickser beam sted through the spatial tear with impunity!


    It instantly became unstable!


    Admiral Zhao''s eyes rxed. "Old f*cker, you finally arrived!"

 Chapter 555 The fate of Planet Kronic Beam Ring!

    Chapter 555 The fate of Kronic Beam Ring!


    A few dozen kilometers away from Kronic Beam Ring, a lone spaceship rapidly elerated towards this.


    Standing on this spaceship was a single mech, a thin mech.


    This was a thin mech with an absolutely gigantic weapon.


    The weapon of this mech took over 90% of its volume.


    It was an absolutely giganticser canon.


    From how this mech was built, knowledgeable mechanics and experienced Supers of other sses could easily tell what type of Mechanic that he was.


    E was a Technician Mechanic and she focused on only building mechs and warships, this was her progression path as a Super.


    Champion Onana and Admiral Zhao were standard War Mechanics.


    They didn''t have a narrow path, they embraced all facets of a Mechanic. They could build mechs, they used any mechanic weapon avable to them, but their most important aspects was still to use their mechs in battle.


    Apart from the first 2 progression paths as Mechanics, there was a 3rd path, the Mechanical Pugilist path who mostly took on the Mechanicalpactness cmity path to amplify the physical power of their mechs.


    They fought like Pugilists but instead of having powerful bodies, they had powerful mechs that could almost substitute for the power of Pugilists.


    That was still not thest progression path for Mechanics though.


    There was thest progression path, the Weapon Master path.


    These mechanics forfeited the tedious process of creating their own mechs, and using different types of mechanic weapons. From the Grade C realm after deciding on their path, they simply focused on a single type of mechanic weapon.


    The mech that was on the lone spaceship rapidly elerating towards Kronic Beam Ring was a Weapon Master mech.


    This Weapon Master Mechanic had only one Cmity Path that he focused on to the extreme, thoroughly mastering it.


    He was a grandmaster of the Laser Weapon Cmity Path.


    His weapon easily gave his identity away, this was the old Hermit of Nak State, mostly known by many as the Red Streak of Destruction.


    He aimed at Kronic Beam Ring from over 20 kilometers out.


    ''Zhao was right, this spatial tear really looks sinister''.


    ''It''s the perfect tform to make my return after years of seclusion though''.


    ''Ya better shine your eyes youngsters, cause the Red Steak of Destruction is back!'' He pulled the trigger.


    Whomp!


    No one saw iting, it hit before they noticed it.


    If this attack was aimed towards any of the 3 currently battling Beast Priests, without a doubt, they would have been terribly injured but this was not aimed at them but rather aimed at the spatial tear.


    BZZZZZZ!


    Literally no sound was left by theser beam, just a burning streak of red and a sizzling sound was heard as the spatial tear instantly became unstable.


    Back in the Beast Empire, they felt their Empire shake as the Shelter Priest reacted to the impact that he just felt and the mana that he lost.


    "Do it!" The Beast Priest gave the order.


    5 Beast Priests instantly started pouring their mana through an already prepared magic formation into the body of the Shelter Priest.


    This enabled this absolutely gigantic beast to keep on going.


    BZZZZ!


    He pulled the trigger again, another burning streak of red erupted.


    The spatial tear sizzled again and strained from the sheer heat.


    BZZZZ!


    He pulled the trigger again.


    The spatial tear could no longer retain its stability.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    A part of the spatial tear copsed as more of the engulfed Kronic Beam Ring became exposed again even as more people in the vicinity died.


    By this time, the lone spaceship finally appeared in Kronic Beam Ring.


    "Old geezer, you definitely took your time!" Admiral Zhao snorted.


    The helmet of the mech retracted to show a smirking bald old man with white beards. "I had to see how much you have grown while I was unavable".


    "I must say, I am impressed".


    Feeling the sheer power emanating out of the tiny mech now hovering in space, the Demonic Mandrill''s eyes narrowed as he made his decision.


    "Abandon the mission!"


    He swung his spear with all his power at his opponent!


    The battle between these 2 Cmity Grades already left a wave of destruction in this, now, the Demonic Mandrill finally separated from his opponent as he rapidly retreated towards the spatial tear.


    Admiral Zhao intervened.


    Millions of his mechs focused on the escaping Beast Priest.


    The intentions of the Nak Admiral finally became clear.


    He clearly wanted to hold the Beast Priests hostages.


    The Beast Priests were enraged, and their rage showed in their reactions.


    "Demon Technique: Purgatory Sea!"


    "Demon Ability: Waves of Death!"


    Waving his free left hand, the Demonic Mandrill summoned a sinister sea that seemed toe right out of the underworld. In this sea, souls that were not put to rest after death roamed and they attacked the Naks instantly.


    As for the waves of death, they came from this Mandrill''s spear.


    BOOM¡­!


    One swing of his spear and a shockwave appeared that wiped out hundreds of thousands of mechs as arge crater was left in the aftermath.


    The Strength Elephant retreated; the Detective Dog also retreated.


    The warships of the Beast Coalition also retreated.


    "I need to capture one of them!" Admiral Zhao roared and rushed closer.


    "As for you, keep on destabilizing the spatial tear".


    Without a word, the tiny mech kept on unleashing shot after shot.


    As for Admiral Zhao, he stuck with the Strength Elephant like glue.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    His mechanic impact attacks rattled this Strength Elephant but he stood his ground close to the spatial tear as he retaliated aggressively.


    A minuteter, 2 more Cmity Grade reinforcements came.


    By now, it was clear that the mission was already a failure.


    The zeal of the Nak Admirals to get a hostage increased but the Beast Priests were no push-overs. Venting their frustration by destroying this as much as possible, they finally tried to retreat into the spatial tear.


    Admiral Zhao was not having it; he aimed with his Shotgun and pulled the trigger. He felt the recoil as the projectile left his Shotgun.


    BAM!


    "Ugh¡­!" The Strength Elephant groaned in pain.


    Admiral Zhao''s attack wiped out the right hand of this Beast Priest as blood flowed like a river. But this beast simply masked the pain and escaped with the others.


    Bzzz!


    All the beasts were gone, then finally the fate of the quarter of Kronic Beam Ring that already entered the spatial tear was decided.


    CRIIIII!


    An extremely loud tearing sound reverberated.


    The spatial tear expanded as a space de tore through the surface of Kronic Beam Ring, using thest energy of the spatial tear to cause as much destruction as possible before it finally disappeared.


    With its disappearance, a quarter of Kronic Beam Ring was cut off!


    Kronic Beam Ring lost that quarter.


    The spatial tear teleported it away.


    In the end, the Beasts didn''t lose everything.


    The Mechanic controlling the thin mech watched with an absolutely shocked look in his eyes at what just happened. "Am I hallucinating?"


    "Was a quarter of Kronic Beam Ring just cut and stolen?"


    "Since when did evens start bing theft targets?"


    "What happened while I was in seclusion?!"


    His eyes widened in shock the more he understood this reality.


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "Jesus¡­!"

 Chapter 556 Goals

    Chapter 556 Goals


    Kronic Beam Ring was held to a standstill.


    At least, what was left of it after the bite.


    The invasion started just like any other invasion with beasts riding their warships into this to raid it. This was shocking, the beasts had never revealed that they had warships of their own and could control them.


    The warships were not the most shocking fact today though.


    It was what followed after.


    The true power of the Shelter Priest.


    The moment of this powerful Beast Priest flexing his innate spatial control abilities would forever be etched in the mind of those who survived it.


    After the first shake by the Beast Coalition in gctic space, powerful beasts like the Primate Priest, the Destruction Priest, and the Roaming Priest came into light and gctic space learned to fear their powers.


    Not the Shelter Priest though.


    This Beast Priest originally left the most impression by its sheer size.


    And with it acting like its title, a shelter, most thought that this was his only ability and purpose until the invasion of Kronic Beam Ring.


    A quarter of Kronic Beam Ring was lost today, it was stolen.


    This was shocking.


    This was unprecedented.


    If before, even after the assassination of Dunk the Beast Coalition seemed like a terrorist organization just riding on momentum and luck. After this, they truly established themselves as the viins of this era.


    Duhkha struck fear into the hearts of his enemies again.


    And he would do it again.


    This was the first, but it would not be thest.


    ¡­


    Nak¡­


    This was a medium in the territory of the Nak State, but it was by far the most luxurious and fortified, this was the capital of Nak State.


    At this moment, inside a towering floating skyscraper in this.


    This was the Presidential Vi of Nak State.


    Inside, President Dunk looked at the projections around the military room with a horrified expression on his face.


    The projection showed differents, precisely 13 differents and there were a lot ofplicated charts under these projections.


    "Damage report!" He ordered.


    "Yes, Mr. President". The Chief Admiral nodded with a solemn look on his face as he looked at the projections.


    Kronic Beam Ring is their main target; 2 Beast Priests were deployed at first and wereter bolstered by more Beast Priests. They were not able to take the but they were able to cut off a quarter of itsnd".


    "¡­" President Dunk could feel his hands shuddering.


    That was billions of Gctic Credits in value!


    Drethea was also targeted".


    At this point, this Chief Admiral''s cold face finally faltered, he showed anger and pain. "We lost a protector, Admiral Chin".


    "¡­" President Dunk shuddered; he gritted his teeth. "Continue".


    The Chief Admiral continued. "The Shelter Priest was preupied this time, they could not transport Drethea the same way like they intended for Kronic Beam Ring but all the ore reserves in the were emptied".


    "Apart from the Admiral, we lost 8 Grade B defenders".


    President Dunk clenched his fists.


    Drethea was the 3rdrgest metal of the Nak Navy, and again, the resources lost was in the valuation of billions of Gctic Credits.


    This was a lot of losses in just a single day.


    The Chief Admiral continued. "Those were the only 2s attacked by Beast Priests, the others were attacked by the underling of the Beast Priests".


    "Our forces were able to resist but the casualty rate is at the high side".


    "Most of theses are still embroiled in chaos but reinforcement is slowly arriving to stabilize the situation".


    Chief Admiral Greg had a solemn look on his face as he looked on.


    At this moment, the whole military council were quiet and in shock. They heard Admiral Zhao''s warnings but they ignored it, relying on their experience as military leaders for decades which they got through hard work.


    What they never expected was the different means of the Beasts.


    This was no normal enemy or terrorist, they were entirely different.


    Fear for the future gripped some of them for the first time.


    President Dunk looked at Chief Admiral Greg. "What about the boy?"


    "Legs?"


    "Yes".


    "He aided in the defense of Kronic Beam Ring. He also sent some of his forces to the others that he predicted to be attacked, they aided a lot in keeping the situation manageable till reinforcement arrived".


    "Only 2 ofs that he predicted were not attacked".


    "¡­" The military leaders took deep breaths.


    This was too shocking, it seemed like the mercenary really had prophecy powers, it almost seemed like he was somehow a spy of the Beast Coalition.


    The young Summoner now looked so much more mysterious to them.


    President Dunk took a deep breath. "This is my order¡­"


    ¡­


    Instantly after the speech of the Beast King, Legs finally kickstarted some of his ns that he had been funing for the past 50 years.


    Since transmigrating into this world, his future knowledge had always ben his unique advantage and he was determined to take even more advantage of it.


    This was what pushed him to create a goal chart.


    {Goals Chart:}


    *urately predict the ns and events of the Beast Coalition in Nak State, nning towards intercepting them


    *Stop the disaster of Kronic Beam Ring


    *Establish self as an indispensable part of the Beast Coalition resistance


    *Get resources


    *Create aplete Cmity Path


    *Get more ess to yers and fatten them through the missions of the Beast Coalition


    *(Get connections inside the Beast Coalition)


    *Level up and be a Cmity Grade Super


    After learning about the Star Radler from the seer Rabbit, Legs'' outlook on a lot of things changed. He no longer simply saw this world from the perspective of what was before him but from the perspective of his predecessors.


    50 years ago, for the first time in a long while, he came really close to his goal of finding the truth behind his reincarnation.


    Over the years, Legs already changed so much that he was not even sure if he was as zealous andmitted to finding the truth of his reincarnation again.


    Time changed people; he was no exclusion.


    Unlike in his previous world when yers simply yed the game, enjoying the storyline, not caring about abusing the game interface to level up without making the necessary sacrifices to true power, this time was different.


    This time, Legs actually lived in this world.


    Seeing others do it the hard way, he was no longer content with the bare minimum efficiently given by the game interface, he wanted more.


    This was why he trained so hard to establish and master his cmity path to amplify the advantage of efficiency that his game interface gave him.


    At some point, he felt that his true goal in this world was now power.


    ''Without power, I can''t achieve my goals''.


    ''Without power, I can never know the true mystery of reincarnation''.


    ''Without power, I can''t meet my predecessors''.


    ''Maximus said that they need my help. Without power, there is no way that I will bepetent enough to actually help them''.


    ''I am not even strong enough to know what they are fighting against''.


    ''This is why I can no longer stay idle''.


    ''I actually need to be really powerful now''.


    All his goal charts all basked on Version 3 and the Cmity Grade.


    After experimenting for months, his first goal was to urately predict the actions of the Beast Coalition, hoping for no change in this storyline which would enable him to maximize the advantage of his future knowledge.


    In this goal, his best n was through Kronic Beam Ring though.


    Despite Kronic Beam Ring being his main goal, he did not put all his balls in one basket as he also made preparations for other targets.


    He predicted that others would be attacked like it happened in his previous life, he warned the Nak Navy. He also did well to add some redundants, afterall, he could not afford to be too urate with his prophecies.


    Then, the Nak State may even grow to be wary of him.


    He also prepared for some randoms to achieve an effect.


    All these was because he wanted to establish himself as an important part of the resistance against the Beast Coalition. When the Nak State truly understood how pivotal his prophecies were, they would learn to cherish him.


    All these were just to further his goal of getting more power.


    Indebted to him, the Nak State won''t hesitate much to give him resources which were the best things that he actually needed to grow his power.


    He needed resources to upgrade the power of his beasts through mutation.


    He needed resources toprehend his cmity path faster.


    A Super literally needed resources for everything rted to increasing their power and this became even more prominent after the Grade B realm.


    If Legs did not have an OP resource as the experience points of the yers, he would need even more resources to increase his level.


    This was how hard it was to progress through the super ranks at the higher levels, the concepts involved already becameplicated at that point.


    Through these resources, if he could get inspiration toplete his cmity path and to also harvest the yield of his farm field in the form of the yers, he would have everything that he needed to finally be a Cmity Grade.


    At the Cmity Grade, Legs would finally be a real powerhouse of gctic society, giving him ess to a lot of previously hidden things.


    One of these hidden things was the blueprint of the Star Radler.


    This was his ultimate goal; he would n everything else after that.


    After achieving a part of his goals already, he took a deep breath and looked into the distance. ''Version 3 is no longer my priority''.


    ''It is just a springboard to my priority of bing a Cmity Grade''.


    He watched the destruction that befell Kronic Beam Ring.


    As recovery processes started even as Admiral Zhao kept on coordinating things while staying alert for any follow-up attack, he received a message.


    BEEP!


    {NEW! 1 Unread Message!}


    {Sender: President Dunk}


    {¡­}

 Chapter 557 Negotiation

    Chapter 557 Negotiation


    BEEP!


    {NEW! 1 Unread Message!}


    {Sender: President Dunk}


    {Army Commander Legs, this is President Dunk. Your efforts during the first raid of the Beast Coalition and the subsequent attacks, especially on Kronic Beam Ring has been recognized.}


    {You have won my favor and the favor of the Nak State.}


    {You will receive an honorary award at the Presidential Vi in 5 days.}


    {Best regards.}


    "¡­" Silence only reigned for about a minute after he read this message.


    Legs simply looked at it as a lot of thoughts went through his mind.


    This was not a message from the Nak Navy, not from a Nak Admiral, rather, it was a message directly from the acting President of Nak State.


    This sent a lot of hidden messages.


    First, it was an acknowledgement of his incredible role in curbing the attacks of the Beast Coalition. It was also an acknowledgement that even if they couldn''t verify how he did it, they now believed in his prophecies.


    this State was finally ready to extend an olive branch to him and take him out of the approach range of themoners.


    It was also an olive branch.


    After 50 years of working under the jurisdiction of the Nak State, this State was finally ready to extend an olive branch to him and take him out of the approach range of themoners.


    They finally wanted to drag him in to be a close confidant.


    Legs took a deep breath; he looked across the recovering Kronic Beam Ring. ''I did it!''


    ''It was all worth it!''


    ¡­


    4 dayster, Nak, the Presidential Vi of Nak State¡­


    Today, this Presidential Vi weed a guest.


    As soon as the spaceship was docked, Legs left his students andpanions, going in alone into the military room where all the higher-ups of Nak State were already gathered and waiting for his arrival.


    He entered the military room that seemed like a hall.


    There was a gigantic round table in the middle and around this table were already seated different people, a familiar face was at the very front.


    "Mr. President". Legs greeted respectfully as he bowed.


    Apart from the President, seated at this moment were 13 other people, these were all the Cmity Grades of Nak after the death of Admiral Chin.


    Legs recognized some faces that Admiral Zhao already told him about, including the Chief Admiral, Admiral Greg.


    Of these 13 Admirals, 5 of them were part of the Military Council responsible for all administrative and military activities in Nak State. Admiral Greg was above them all, he was like the supervisor who made sure that everything was in order.


    As for the other Admirals, they simply have territories that they protected.


    At this moment, all these Admirals had neutral expressions on their faces.


    "Wee to Nak". President Dunk weed him with a smile while gesturing towards a seat that was closer to his own.


    Before now, Admiral Zhao already gave him some pointers on how to behave himself, Legs didn''t act unnecessarily polite as he went closer to sit down.


    "I believe you know why we summoned you here". President Dunk looked at Legs who now sat close to him with a mildly serious look on his face.


    "Yes". Legs nodded.


    Admiral Zhao already told him everything.


    "Good". President Dunk nodded. "Tell us about your powers".


    Legs was cooperative. "As you may all already know, I am currently a Demi-god Summoner with 4 contracted beasts but I presume that is not what you want to hear".


    He looked straight at the President and with a straight look on his face, he spoke. "Yes, I have prophetic powers".


    "I unlocked and developed them years ago in my native".


    "It works by sacrificing some of my life energy. Depending on how much life energy that I sacrifice, I am able to look into the future to see prophecies".


    "I used it multiple times in my native to win wars".


    "I won the war of the Clown Society with this". He used terms from his native only because he was sure that they already did their research.


    "I stopped Champion Onana''s invasion with this".


    "I also won the war against the Bug Emperor despite the overwhelming odds with this, I think that should be a pretty enough take on it".


    "Without my powers, Darvis would have never prepared enough".


    For a moment, silence reigned between both sides as President Dunk looked at this mercenary. All the Admirals seemed to be in deep thought, then one of them asked. "You sacrifice your life energy to activate your ability?"


    "Yes". Legs turned to look at her.


    She had a face that made her seem like a beautiful youngdy with red flowing hair, but Legs was not deceived, he knew that she was an old monster.


    She was one of the 5 members of the Council, Admiral Zoana and Admiral Zhao already warned him about her.


    His endeavor this time was not going to be easy.


    This Admiral furrowed her brows. "If you''re right and you''ve used this your ability as many times as you im, do you even have any life energy left in you?"


    "More than enough to take care of the Beast Coalition". Legs replied instantly in a sharp voice


    "Big words". Her eyes narrowed. "Are you belittling the Nak State?"


    "No ma''am, I''m just exining my powers like requested".


    "¡­"


    The mood in this gathering changed.


    Her eyes narrowed even further as Legs felt a suffocating pressure gather on him, he was breathless but he did not panic, only looking back at her.


    "Zoana, stand down". It was a deep voice; it was the Chief Admiral''s voice and apanying it was a gentle but dominant aura engulfing the surroundings.


    With a snort, the red-haireddy retracted her energy.


    Legs looked at the President again. "Through my powers, by sacrificing more life energy, I was able to know about the attack n on Kronic Beam Ring and the others".


    "To save Kronic Beam Ring, I met Admiral Zhao".


    "As we can see, I was right".


    "How do we know that you are not affiliated with the Beast Coalition? Your predictions were too urate, its simply not logically possible". Another Admiral interjected with a venomous tone.


    "Mind your tongue, Gwen". Admiral Zhao''s deep voice reverberated.


    This instantly showed the paradigm among the Admirals, not all of them were easygoing and there were clearly rivalries among them.


    The green-haireddy, the only 2nddy Admiral in the Council looked at Admiral Zhao with narrowed eyes before snorting and ignoring him.


    Throughout all this talk and bickering between his Admirals, President Dunk said no other word as Legs simply focused on him.


    He knew exactly why the Council seemed to be opposing Legs, this was just a political game since any significant change which was exactly what was in his mind would affect their interests.


    President Dunk ignored everyone and looked at Legs. "How reliable are your prophecies?"


    "Very reliable". He replied confidently.


    Over 50 years, he already tried his future knowledge again and again and it was mostly right, this gave him the confidence that he now exuded.


    President Dunk nodded. "What are the ns of the Beast Coalition?"


    "Chaos". Legs simply answered.


    The aged eyes of one of the Admirals briefly focused on him.


    "In their quest to establish their Beast Empire, they are ready to cause as much chaos as possible to get what they want and they will do it".


    "While they intend to build their Empire, they want their rivals to fall".


    Legs looked at the President. "In the next few years, do not expect the Beast Coalition to subside, they will keep on attacking and causing chaos".


    "Then my decision is made".


    President Dunk looked round his cab of Admirals. "Legs'' status is now changed in the Nak State".


    "He will be honored with an honorary title tomorrow".


    "He will be our chief war advisor throughout the phase of the terrorist existence of the Beast Coalition".


    "The Nightmare Mercenary Group will officially be the 3rd recognized off-shoot army of the Nak Navy".


    "¡­" Shock rippled through this gathering before an Admiral stood up.


    It was Admiral Gwen.


    "This is impossible!" She almost shouted.


    "The Nak State has only 3 spots for off-shoot armies and they are all already upied by our most staunch allies, there is no ce for a 4th!"


    "That is why one of the previous ones is no more". President Dunk answered evenly as he looked into the eyes of this Admiral.


    She was shocked, her eyes turned cold. "Impossible".


    "Impossible?" President Dunk smirked. "Are you the leader or I am?"


    "¡­" She kept quiet.


    President Dunk did not look angry but he instinctively gave off a feeling of incredible pressure at this moment as he looked at his Admiral.


    "I am the President and I make the decisions".


    "All the off-shoot armies are allowed to be armies to support and aid the Nak Navy and Army, it was never a fixed inheritance".


    "If another mercenary group is contributing more than they do, it is only natural for one of them, the least performing one to be dethroned".


    "Nak State is not a family inheritance or heirloom; it is a State!" He emphasized. "And I will run it as one".


    He looked at all the Admirals. "Nothing and no one is allowed to touch Legs during this time, whether directly or indirectly".


    "He is now an Army Commander of Nak State".


    "Am I clear?"


    "Yes, Mr. President".


    Then, he looked at them, waiting for their verdict.


    He was the President; he could simply impose his decision on them but they were his Admirals and were the strongest warriors in the Nak State.


    To perfectly function as a President, he needed their support and this was why after his talk, he gave them the freedom of choice again.


    "I concur". One of the Admirals said.


    He had white beard and white hair; he looked the oldest in this gathering.


    "I concur".


    Once 70% of the Admirals already concurred, the others dared not oppose him, they all concurred to it and it became reality.


    President Dunk turned to look at Legs with a smile. "Do you want anything else?"


    This was what Legs had been waiting for!


    He looked at the President. "Yes".

 Chapter 558 Negotiation; change of status

    Chapter 558 Negotiation; change of status


    "Do you want anything else?"


    Hearing this question, Legs'' brain geared into overdrive.


    This was the President of Nak State asking him for anything else that he wanted. In his current level of operation and influence, he could not meet an individual of higher esteem and power to receive this favor from.


    This was the goal that he had been working towards so hard.


    This was his dream of 50 years.


    His goals chart briefly floated before his head again.


    ''urately predict the ns and events of the Beast Coalition in Nak State, nning towards intercepting them''. He marked this asplete in his mind.


    ''Stop the disaster of Kronic Beam Ring''. He also marked this asplete in his mind.


    ''Establish self as an indispensable part of the Beast Coalition resistance''. Just a few seconds ago, this becamepleted and it opened the door to fulfilling every single one of his other goals in his goals chart.


    ''Get resources''. He marked this as pending.


    ''Create aplete Cmity Path''. He marked this as pending.


    ''Get more ess to yers and fatten them through the missions of the Beast Coalition''. He marked this as pending.


    ''Get connections inside the Beast Coalition''. He marked this as pending.


    ''Level up and be a Cmity Grade Super''. He also marked this as pending then he focused on the most important ones of the pending goals.


    His eyes gleamed as he focused on President Dunk again. This President became curious, seeing the look in his eyes.


    Legs took a deep breath to organize his thoughts and his n.


    "The Beast Coalition is an organization that has been developing for centuries, they have a lot of deep foundations and connections".


    President Dunk''s eyes narrowed as he read in between the lines.


    "They are extremely powerful but¡­" He looked at President Dunk before sweeping a nce across all the Admirals. "Nak State is also powerful".


    "And since you already allied with the Ackermanns, the resistance is far stronger which is why I believe that you don''t want to be passive forever".


    President Dunk''s eyes rose in surprise, he waited for him to continue.


    "I can help the Nak State and Ackermann State not to just predict and resist the attacks of the Beast Coalition, but to alsounch an offensive against them".


    "The Beast Coalition''s greatest trait is their elusiveness".


    "With my prophecies, I can fish them out of their hiding".


    "But for my powers to work at their best especially when finding them, I also need to be present in the battlefield".


    A lot of eyebrows rose in this gathering.


    "This is why it is good if I be a Grade B+ Summoner, best if I can be a Cmity Grade before leading the Nak Navy to assault the Beast Coalition".


    President Dunk''s eyes shone. "What do you want in return?"


    "Resources, books, knowledge, and guidance from Cmity Grade Summoners on how to pass thest hurdle and create my perfect Cmity Path".


    "Afterall, to win, you need me at my best".


    "Bullsh*t!"


    It was Admiral Gwen, again.


    She red at Legs with anger.


    "How dare you demand for that?!"


    "That is the treatment of a Champion!"


    "First, you are not a Nak".


    "Second, you are not a Nak Champion".


    "No way on hell do you expect to receive such treatment!" She roared.


    "The knowledge of the Nak State are heirloom inheritances that we received from the hardwork of our ancestors, and it is our obligation to keep them sacred and only use them to nurture even more powerful Nak Champions".


    This time, Legspletely ignored this Admiral.


    His gaze was only on President Dunk who was now deep in thought.


    When the President finally focused on him again, his face became solemn. "The punishment for the betrayal of a Champion is death".


    "The punishment for lying to me right now is death".


    "There''s no official rule like that, I just made it up". His face remained serious as he only stared at Legs.


    "Do you have the ability to help us defeat the Beast Coalition?"


    "To find their hideout and give you detailed information about them, that I can, but I cannot guarantee that you will win against them".


    "That''s all I need". President Dunk nodded. "What''s your name again?"


    "Legs Baron".


    President Dunk nodded. "Wee to the Nak Navy".


    "Thank you, Mr. President".


    It was settled, just like that.


    ¡­


    A dayter¡­


    A broadcast started all across the territories of Nak State. President Dunk and most of the Admirals were present and kneeling before the President was a young man as using a scepter, the President started.


    "Today, you have been recognized for your heroic deeds in the resistance against the terrorist activities of the Beast Coalition".


    "For your contributions, you have been rewarded with the Nak honorary title, you are now on the same level as some of the best of Nak State".


    "Your mercenary group is now upgraded".


    "You are no mercenary no more; you are now the Army Commander of the 3rd outpost army of the Nak Army".


    "Today, I announce the Nightmare Army to the world".


    Amid explosive cheers, everything was finalized. Over the years, Christensen, de, Uranus, Sonia and the others have seen him do some amazing and pretty ridiculous things but today, they were still stunned again.


    Legs struck with incredibility when they least expected it.


    Amid the cheers, his game interface lit up.


    -----


    [Congrattions! Your Favorability with President Dunk has improved!]


    [You have been rewarded with a title: Nak Honorary Title!}


    >Your status has increased in Nak State. Most powers now see you on the same level as Nak Champions and gctic Army Commanders, a lot of administrative things will now be much easier and smoother<


    ¡­


    [Congrattions! You have taken a great leap and your organization is now officially recognized as a Gctic Army!]


    ----


    Overnight, Legs experienced a massive change of status.


    ¡­


    A few hourster¡­


    Legs hummed to the tune of ''To be a Man'' by Dax as he followed a guide deep into the National Library of Nak State that was located here.


    Since the day of his reincarnation, he had been looking for this opportunity.


    The knowledge in-here won''t help him much since he already learned so much from Maximus and the seer, but Legs believed that in the library of a Star System level civilization, he could learn a lot about the current world.


    He felt that he needed it.


    Even more importantly, he could now get ess to the relevant knowledge that he needed to massively elerate his creation of his Cmity Path.


    The Council were still angry with him but he no longer gave a damn.


    ''With the game interface, I can theoretically learn every single knowledge held in the books in this National library within just a year''.


    This was despite the absolutely gigantic size of this library.


    ''Ignorance''. He smirked and went in.


    Raising his right hand, he drew magic circles in the air then he spoke a word.


    Then, he picked up his first book.


    ¡­


    After everything as Legs locked himself up inside the National library of Nak State, a certain Admiral with white beard and white hair, Admiral Nathan who was also part of the gathering a day ago rose from Nak.


    He flew out of this into space before simply flying far away aimlessly.


    Unknown to the naked eye, this old man kept on deploying detection magic arrays to confirm that he was not being watched nor followed.


    After what felt like an indeterminate time, he stopped.


    Raising his right hand, he drew magic circles in the air then he spoke a word.


    "Duhkha". He whispered.


    BZZZ!


    He disappeared.

 Chapter 559 Traitor; the Espionage Priest

    Chapter 559 Traitor; the Espionage Priest


    "Duhkha".


    BZZZ!


    Admiral Nathan seemed to be erased from existence.


    It was not teleportation since no spatial traces were left in the air.


    It was smooth and untraceable.


    When he reappeared, he was no longer in any of the territories close to the Nak State or Ackermann State, he arrived close to a certain beast.


    He arrived close to the World Camel, the Shelter Priest.


    This gigantic-sized beast was originally in a deep slumber but as soon as he appeared, the gigantic eyes of this beast snapped open.


    Bzzz!


    Admiral Nathan disappeared in the air again then he arrived beside this beast''s gigantic eyes. For a moment, time seemed to freeze.


    Then the originally emotionless and neutral eyes of the Shelter Priest showed emotion for the first time in a long time. His eyes now reflected joy, nostalgia, and relief as he looked at this white bearded and white haired Nak Admiral.


    "You came". The Shelter Priest spoke.


    This word was not transmitted through sound waves but rather psychic waves. This was one of the abilities of Cmity Grade beasts.


    Most beasts gain sentience after they be contracted to a Summoner.


    But for wild beasts, they remain feral and wild for most of their lives despite having higher intelligence until they finally ascend to the Cmity Grade.


    At the Cmity Grade, there is a transformative change, granting them sentience and the Spirit Sense.


    Cmity Grade Supers also unlock the Spirit Sense after getting to their grade, it was an advanced version of an energy check.


    Its range varied from Super to Super but it enabled them to see kilometers around them without looking with their eyes, they saw just with their spirit sense.


    The Spirit Sense also enabled them tomunicate telepathically.


    This was what the Shelter Priest did at this moment.


    The old Nak Admiral looked at the gigantic affectionate eyes as he smiled.


    "Yes, I came back". He replied through his Spirit Sense.


    "An emergency came up".


    The Shelter Priest only looked at him. "Duhkha is in".


    This Nak Admiral floated closer and touched the gigantic body of the World Camel. "Worg, it''s been a long time, centuries".


    "I really want to spend more time with you but I can''t risk it".


    "I can''t stay out of their radar for too long".


    He smiled again. "Hopefully, one day, all these will finally stop after we build our Beast Empire and finally be independent".


    The Shelter Priest only let out a rumbling sound in acknowledgement of his words, then patting him onest time, this Nak Admiral went in.


    Bzzz!


    Silently disappearing again, he entered the on the World Camel''s back. Instantly after entering the veil of this, he no longer kept the fa?ade.


    The Nak Admiral''s body morphed.


    From an old Nak Admiral, he transformed into a Reptile with green scales.


    He was a Shapeshifting Reptile. Apart from his shapeshifting bloodline powers, his other powers enabled him to perfectly copy the power of the body that he stole and impersonated, while hisst ability was the Ghost Step.


    It was spatial teleportation but mixed with advanced Light Magic. By distorting the light intensity around him, he could hide all fluctuations of space that he made while moving from one location to the other.


    For centuries, no one had been able to crack this ability of his.


    He was untraceable and was why he called it the Ghost Step.


    As for his title?


    He was called the Espionage Priest.


    Alongside the Shelter Priest and the Primate Priest, 3 of them were the very firstpanions that the Beast King, Duhkha ever made along his journey.


    And alongside the Wisdom Priest, they were the only ones that knew his real name, showing how long they had been in this.


    The reason why he whispered Duhkha before using Ghost Step to arrive here was because it was an anchor that led him to the direction of the Beast King.


    Without an anchor, his Ghost Step could not be urate.


    As soon as he prated the atmosphere of this and revealed his true self, multiple Spirit Senses focused on him as they appeared one after the other.


    Bzzz! Bzzz! Bzzz!


    Beast Priests surrounded him in no time.


    "Who are you?!" They questioned aggressively.


    Most of them didn''t even know this strange Cmity Grade Beast!


    "Let him through". A voice reverberated the next moment.


    It was the Snow Monkey, the Primate Priest.


    The others were shocked and confused but they dared not disobey the 1st Upper Beast Priest, they let this strange Cmity Grade Beast through.


    ¡­


    5 minutester¡­


    Inside the Pce of the Beast King, 7 Beasts were gathered at this very moment. 3 of them had confused looks on their faces as they looked at the strange beast while looking at the Beast King for exnation.


    The Doom Cow was not a fan of mind games.


    "Who are you?!" He confronted directly.


    The green Reptile had a neutral smile on his face as he looked at him.


    Duhkha rubbed his mane awkwardly. "Doom, calm down".


    "Ignore him Ghost, he is a fiery one".


    "I can tell". The Reptile nodded with a proud look on his face and a smile as he looked at the Doom Cow. "I saw your work first hand, I have never been more proud of a product of the Beast Coalition".


    The Doom Cow only looked at him with narrowed eyes. "Who are you?"


    The Demonic Lion finally stood up. "Everyone, this is Ghost, my friend".


    "¡­!" They were shocked!


    Duhkha was a lot of things but his most prominent traits were his rigid personality that was formed after decades of suffering and pain, he was never known to have friends, he actually had a friend?


    The Demonic Lion''s face became serious. "Centuries ago, at my lowest, Ghost stood by me, he helped me fully theorize and start the n of the Beast Coalition".


    "He is the very first Beast Priest of the Beast Coalition, the Espionage Priest".


    "From his title, you should know what he is already".


    Then, he finally paid attention to his friend with a serious look on his face. "What happened?"


    "Aplication appeared". He replied calmly.


    "Exin".


    "There is a Grade B Summoner in Nak State, he is the reason why the Kronic Beam Ring raid was not sessful".


    "Originally, that alone is not enough for me to risk my identity but what he revealed after is".


    "He apparently has prophetic powers". His face turned solemn. "Singlehandedly, he has what it takes to bring down the Beast Coalition, an organization that was birth from all our sweat, suffering, and efforts".


    "I can''t let that happen and that''s why I came".


    He held nothing back, he told everything that he knew about Legs.


    By the time that he was done, the Doom Cow was already growling in rage. He wanted nothing more than to directly go there and obliterate this Summoner.


    The Demonic Lion was calm. "Prophetic powers¡­"


    "It seems like a badly told lie but it''s you¡­" He looked at the Shapeshifting Reptile. "I believe you".


    "So, what will you do?" The Wisdom Priest asked.


    "Nothing".


    Eyebrows were raised. "Nothing?"


    "Yes, nothing". The Demonic Lion smirked.


    "We''vee too far to stop". He looked around at his strongest and most important Beast Priests. "I don''t know how he does it but if he truly has prophetic powers, he would still guess our ns even if we changed them".


    "But if he doesn''t really have any prophetic powers but is just a chatan who hopes that we change our well-thought-out ns for a revolution¡­"


    He paused, then he smirked. "Let''s give him a surprise".


    Seeing the look on their faces, he added. "We always knew that it was never going to be easy, stormse, but we''ll pass through them all".


    "For Duhkha!" He patted his chest.


    "For Duhkha!" They did the same.

 Chapter 560 A true Prophet

    560 A true Prophet


    Just a day after the announcement of the Nightmare Army, Admiral Nathan left his territory for one of his routine patrols which recently ramped up after the appearance of the Beast Coalition and their terrorist attacks.


    Today though, he was not alone as he left his territory.


    Unknown to this Admiral, 3 more Admirals of the Nak State followed him.


    Admiral Zhao waspletely focused on his machines, using his ess to his deep-space satellites to barely keep track of this Admiral.


    Due to the detection magic arrays that he deployed every time while moving, they dared not move closer. Not just that, they kept a great distance.


    The warning said he was probably far stronger than he showed.


    These 3 Admirals followed him from a safe distance for hours.


    When everything started feeling normal and it seemed like it was fake information, he finally did it. Despite the enormous distance, Admiral Zhao''s specialized machines were able to pick up the sound waves of the whisper.


    "Duhkha!"


    His eyes widened. "He said Duhkha!"


    Then, Admiral Nathan was erased out of existence.


    Watching this Admiral being erased out of existence while not leaving any traces behind, these 3 Admirals were shocked as they took in a deep breath.


    One of them, an old Mage had a cold look in his eyes.


    "He mastered the Advanced Mage Path of Light, Distortion". He said coldly as he looked at the distance where he just disappeared from.


    "If we don''t want to blow our cover, we better not go anywhere near there".


    "His mastery of Light already left a detection imprint there".


    "He will know instantly if anything goes near".


    Hearing that, Admiral Zhao took a deep breath.


    Thinking about the sheer number of lives that were lost by the terrorist attacks, even the most recent one that imed the life of a Nak Admiral, he could not help but shake in rage on remembering his always gentle face.


    ''And he even concurred to the President''s decision first!''


    ''Really sly!''


    ''Really clever!''


    A few hours ago¡­


    After the announcement of the Nightmare Army, Legs requested a meeting with President Dunk. He didn''t just request a meeting with the President, he asked for Chief Admiral Greg, Admiral Zhao, and Admiral Oma to be present.


    When they all appeared, he threw out a bomb.


    He looked straight at the President. "To express my gratitude for your support, I have 2 gifts to kickstart a longsting cooperative rtionship".


    "First". He turned his head and looked at the 3 Admirals. "These 3 are the most trustworthy Admirals in the Nak State, they will never betray you".


    "You can trust them with your deepest secrets".


    President Dunk smiled. "And how do you know that?"


    Legs had a confident smile on his face. "The threads of fate epass more than just reading the future, fate is multifaceted".


    President Dunk nodded seriously as he looked at the 3 Admirals who also seemed surprised. "Throw me yourst gift".


    "There''s a traitor among your upper echelons?"


    President Dunk''s eyes instantly narrowed. "Gwen?"


    "No".


    "Zoana? Alexandre?"


    Legs shook his head. "Nathan".


    "¡­"


    Shock rippled through the body of the 4 people present in this room apart from Legs. If Legs was in their positions, he would also be shocked.


    "Know your ce boy". Admiral Greg''s deep voice reverberated the next moment in a threatening tone.


    "We acknowledge your abilities does not mean you can abuse it to sow discord among us, you can lose your head on the spot if you speak wrongly again".


    Legs didn''t look at the Chief Admiral, he only looked at President Dunk.


    Seeing his focused gaze, this President furrowed his brows.


    "Can you prove it?" He asked.


    "Yes". Legs nodded confidently. "Admiral Nathan is a deeply-ced spy of the Beast Coalition that was set up centuries ago to facilitate their ns".


    "The reaction of the Chief Admiral shows that his mission is a sess".


    "He will only strike when the iron is hot and you least expect it".


    Legs inclined his head to look at the Chief Admiral. "Chief Admiral, if I am not mistaken, Admiral Nathan will leave his territory within the next few hours".


    "He has weekly patrols that he started long ago".


    "I know, but ording to my guess, this may be the one I saw in my prophecy". His face turned serious. "Admiral Nathan will try any means possible to contact the Beast Coalition and tell them of my existence".


    "I could have told only the President and some select Admirals about my true powers, but despite knowing the danger, I still told the whole truth about my powers of prophecy".


    "This was a risk on my part to lure him out".


    "Follow him and you will get your evidence".


    Chief Admiral Greg narrowed his eyes but he said nothing.


    By now, President Dunk already rxed a bit, he looked at Legs. "Telling us this now when you can simply wait to inte the value of thister, why?"


    Legs smiled. "Because I believe in your generosity".


    "Besides¡­" His face turned serious. "The Beast Coalition should not be underestimated; they are a fearsome force that should be feared".


    "If Nathan is allowed to perform his espionage duty to devastating effect, even if the Nak State survives, it will be on the brink of death".


    "My survival banks on the Nak State''s survival so I can''t allow that".


    "In my opinion, after confirming it, act like everything is still normal".


    He looked outside through the window. "The n of the Beast King was to use him for espionage activities and sabotage the Nak State from within".


    "Let''s give them a taste of their own medicine".


    "If you n it well¡­" He looked at Chief Admiral Greg. "You can feed Nathan with false intel that will surely make their way to the Beast Coalition".


    "This way, we can also strike back and misdirect them".


    "One good misdirection can result in the total copse of the Beast Coalition from within". Saying this, Legs'' eyes shone with ambition.


    "Why are you doing this?" Chief Admiral Greg suddenly asked.


    Legs looked at him. "Like I said, my survival is tied to you".


    "And besides, all I want is to be more powerful and you have all that I need for that, there is no need ruining my rtionship with you".


    He shook his head. "It''s just not worth it".


    A few minutester, Legs finally left.


    As soon as he left, President Dunk looked at his 3 Admirals. After the words that Legs said, his trust for these 3 Admirals already instinctively rose higher.


    Of course, he already trusted them deeply but reassurance from a prophet pushed this belief and trust further.


    He sighed. "He''s a true Prophet".

 Chapter 561 Finding Path

    ?


    After the battle of Kronic Beam Ring, for the next few weeks, Nak State experienced a period of rtive peace as they recovered from the attacks.


    The Nak Admirals drafted their full focus on protecting their territories.


    After the death of one of the Admirals, none of them no longer dared to becent, they gave their best to fulfilling the orders of the President.


    President Dunk did not just want his territories to recover, he also wanted them to be better prepared for any subsequent attacks from the Beast Coalition.


    All thes close to the borders of Nak territory reinforced their defenses.


    Higher qualityary defense measures were made using cutting-edge knowledge as the Nak State burned through arge amount of money and resources. They cooperated with Ackermann State for peak efficiency.


    While these happened, unrest did not leave some of the rurals.


    The gospel of the Beast King was already broadcasted to all beasts.


    Despite the incredible effects of the first raid, there was no realistic way that the Beast King would have been able to rescue every single enved beast so easily. This was a custom spanning across an entire star system.


    During all these years, an uncountable number of beasts were enved.


    Millions of beasts were still in very and they now induced unrest.


    In some rurals, the beasts directly started a rebellion.


    Though most of them were yet to gain sentience, they were incredibly intelligent and the words of the Beast King pushed out their radical traits.


    The words of the Beast King seemed to have a brainwashing effect.


    These effects made them forget their fear of the higher races as they rebelled against them, causing a great amount of destruction while forfeiting their lives.


    Pushed on by these traits, they wreaked havoc.


    The period that followed in Nak State was called the Nightmare of Unrest.


    Dispatching elite Nak navy squads into thes to curb the effects of these beasts, the situation stabilized a bit for one more week.


    A few weekster, the Beast Coalition struck again.


    This time, the raid was led by one of the still mysterious Beast Priests of the Beast Coalition who called himself the Watcher Priest. This Nightmare Owl led an army of beasts to cause a lot of destruction across 3s.


    While all these happened, Legs locked himself up in a library.


    He was focused on reading books and learning their knowledges.


    Inside the library, he felt himself cut off from the world.


    He was able to keep full focus in the library.


    After the raid of the Watcher Priest, the duration of peace that followed this time was longer than most. A monthter, the Beast Coalition struck again.


    This time, there was a single Beast Priest, the Devourer Shark again.


    The Devourer Priest caused a lot of damage, breaking through the reinforcedary defense measures with rtive ease but what followed after was not easy, one of the stationed Nak Admirals reacted immediately.


    As soon as the Beast Priest made an appearance, he was notified.


    This Nak Admiral arrived in less than 2 minutes to see a great amount of destruction but like expected, this was nowhere close to being destroyed.


    The was not kidnapped either, which meant that their special ability to cut and even swallow entires had a weakness after all.


    With the Admiral''s arrival, the situation was stabilized.


    The Admiral barely had an advantage but that was it, the Devourer Shark still gave him a good fight before being forced to retreat.


    Time moved fast.


    In no time, it was already 6 months.


    The Beast Coalition struck again.


    This time, another stationed Nak Admiral was around to intercept one of the Beast priests under the Destruction Priest, the Berserker Turtle.


    This angry Turtle wreaked havoc, dealing a lot of damage and destroying everything around it as it remained unstoppable. It could not kill the Nak Admiral, it didn''t have the firepower but the Nak Admiral could also not kill it.


    As this dragged a lot of attention to it, something else happened.


    This attack by the Turtle Priest was just a bluff for attention.


    The real attack was on another, Maxum.


    3 Beast Priests attacked this time. The Wolf Priest, the Speedster Wolf; the Scarlet Macaw, the Storm Priest; and the Goldfish, the War Priest.


    Thebination of these monsters instantly made the atmosphere gloomy.


    While all these happened, inside the national library of the Nak Navy located in the Presidential Vi, a certain warrior sat cross-legged focusing on a book.


    Legs''s brows were furrowed as he focused on his mind.

    ----


    Sitting cross-legged inside this library, Legs was seen holding a book as he focused on only that, reading at the normal pace of a Grade B Super with a priority on the intelligence stat, if only they knew.


    Legs'' ning here 6 months ago was different than they thought.


    Entering this library, the first thing that he did was to pick a special book that taught about an ability that he already read about beforeing here.


    This special ability enabled him to create doppelgangers.


    He could create a maximum of 10 doppelgangers at a time.


    This was all Legs needed.


    With his main body seated on the ground, focused on one book for hours, his doppelgangers walked round this humungous library, seemingly looking for more interesting books as they simply skimmed their hands through books.


    While they did this, his game interface lit up with notifications like mad.


    Legs remained locked inside this library for 6 months!


    This was because of the sheer amount of knowledge that was entering his head, he never had a moment to think of food or boredom.


    In just 6 months, he already assimted knowledge that most Supers could spend up to 5 decades just reading. This was the advantage and importance of his game interface that no other Super enjoyed.


    This was the reason for his rapid rise to power.


    This was his real cheat code in this world.


    After 6 months of doing nothing but just assimting knowledge and meditating on them, Legs'' quest to find his Cmity Path was already bing far clearer than it was 6 months ago.


    After reading hundreds of books that spoke on the Cmity Path taken by Summoners in the Nak State, he already understood how it worked.


    There were 4 popr and well-known Cmity Path for Summoners.


    The Shepherd Path.


    The Beast Combatant Path which was the one that Christensen embarked on after being encouraged by him years ago.


    The Diamond-Beast Body Path.


    And thest of them, the Path of the Grandmaster.


    Years ago as a Shepherd Summoner, Legs already started embarking on the path of the Shepherd. He expanded as he made Ak and Bran take beasts under their wings, this led to their current massive beast army.


    This path favored the sheer quantity of beasts to overwhelm opponents.


    Most Summoners in the Cmity Grade favored this path.


    The Beast Combatant Path required a Summoner to put his full focus on all 4 of his contracted beasts, building their synergy and power to the highest extent possible since they would be his only options in battle.


    They were like warriors, after fusing with their beasts, they create battle techniques and skills that could massively amplify their powers in battle.


    A lot of Summoners in Nak State embarked on this path.


    As for the Diamond-Beast Body Path, it was a path that fully focused on maximizing the power of the Final Form transformation.


    It was focused on aggressively increasing the power of the final transformation, creating such a sturdy and powerful body that with sheer power alone, a Summoner could steamroll through most opponents in battle.


    As for thest path, it was the rarest of them all, the Path of the Grandmaster.


    Only Summoners that were also Grandmaster Beast Tamers could embark on this path, it exined why few Summoners took it.


    It focused on increasing the number of your tamed beasts, powerful beasts that can follow you in battle and aid your victory. Like the Beast Combatant path, it also focused on a Summoner and his beasts creating techniques and skills.


    It was like abination of Beast Taming and the Beast Combatant path.


    It was the strongest path by a mile but yet, Legs''s path was not this.


    His theorized path was not a true Path of the Grandmaster, his powerful body that was caused by his Supreme Talents changed the equation.


    Legs had to create an entirely new path that was abination of the Path of the Grandmaster and a path like the Diamond-Beast Body Path.


    It was notpulsory but like the books said, a better foundation gave more power after getting to the Cmity Grade and Legs wanted this.


    His only problem was that he could not create it yet.


    After months of reflecting, he got his answer. ''I need inspiration!''


    ''I need stimtion!''


    Blink!


    His eyes snapped open; his phone finally rang after 6 months.


    He was needed.

 Chapter 562 Planet Maxum

    ?


    BOOM!


    A thick bolt of purple lightning descended from the skies, tearing down one of the biggest Nak army bases in this with rampant impunity.


    The 100 meters tall building at the center of this base was razed to the ground, lightning cackling around it as it crumbled from within.


    No warrior inside this massive building was able to survive the attack.


    As for the culprit who unleashed this attack, a storm raged in her eyes.


    The Storm Priest!


    The Scarlet Macaw was a Beast Priest close to the Upper ranks. She didn''t take part in the first raid of the Beast Coalition but her power was undeniable.


    At least, the Nak State got a taste of it for the first time.


    She had a body of almost 10 meters which wasrge for a bird.


    Her feathers were organic but lined across them were weapons, mechanic weapons. Bullet cartridges lined across her huge body, and while flying, she could manipte the friction to trigger these mechanic weapons.


    These weapons were created directly by the Mechanic Priest, Bumblebee.


    Their power was ridiculously high.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    As she flew through the air, she unleashed a wave of destruction as bullets descended like a hail of rain, harvesting tons of life with their descent.


    Yet, despite this destructive rain, this was not her strongest powers.


    To those who have seen her in action for the past few dozen minutes, they felt like she was a literal Storm itself, her title fit her battle style so much.


    She was the Storm Priest and she embodied it.


    As she flew through the air, a storm made of hot heat energy, aggressive wind energy, and crackling lightning surrounded her, empowering her.


    This was her domain, and these were her 3 affinities.


    The thick bolt of purple lightning was just one phase of her attack.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    3 more thick lightning bolts condensed in the air, followed by a storm of heat and wind energy, forming a fiery hurricane as it swept across this.


    Everything that came into contact with the hurricane was torn to bits.


    Not even Grade B Supers could survive this destructive power.


    If let rampant to run, she would have already brought an end to Maxum minutes ago. The only reason why she was yet toy waste to this was the preparations of the Nak Navy and the presence of their Admirals.


    At this moment, another Nak Admiral, a Pugilist and an Admiral of Ackermann State, ady who was a Psychic fought against this menace.


    The Pugilist braved the danger, aggressively charging into her domain.


    His movements and attacks let out sonic booms in the air.


    Every punch of his seemed to create a vacuum.


    He was one of the stronger Nak Admirals of the Nak State.


    Despite his power though, alone, he would be dead already but he had an ally. This Ackermann Admiral supported him, sting the Scarlet Macaw from a distance with annoying psychic sts that messed with her mind.


    Despite the 2 annoying Admirals, she still caused so much destruction.


    This was the power of the Storm Priest.


    The battle today confirmed a lot of things to the Nak State. Again, Legs was right, his prophecy indicated that all the beasts wanted was chaos.


    They wanted the fall of the 2 States which will culminate in the rise of their Empire, this only pushed them more to follow Legs'' ns.


    The Scarlet Macaw was immensely powerful, yet she was not the only Beast Priest attacking Maxum, there were 2 others.


    The Speedster Wolf, the Wolf Priest and the Goldfish, the War Priest.


    The Goldfish was small but he was the embodiment of war!


    His orange face always had a frown on like he hated the whole world and all he lived for was bringing destruction on any existence that was not remotely a beast, he hated every lifeform that imed to be of higher intelligence.


    He hated them with passion.


    Holding an oversized spear that was five times bigger than his body, and wearing a thick dark green armor that fluctuated with magical energy, he didn''t seem menacing at all, he even seemedical but after he attacked, this misconception was stopped.


    As the frown on his face increased with fiery smoke almost emitting out of his face, this Goldfish''s magical energy all gathered on the tip of his spear.


    Yes, the Goldfish was a Magic Beast Warrior.


    As the energy gathered, he released it all in one devastating attack.


    "All sentient races must die!"


    "Beast supremacy!"


    "Beast power!"


    He unleashed the devastating attack!


    BOOOM¡­!!!


    This little Goldfishy destruction to a region spanning over 50 kilometers with one attack, reaping millions of lives and creating a 10-kilometer-deep crater on the floor, it was like a god just stepped through Maxum.


    This was the rage and power of the War Priest.


    He was not called the War Priest due to his power though, he was called the War Priest because of his army of equally angry Goldfish that followed him enthusiastically into every war to kill more sentient race warriors.


    "Beast supremacy!"


    "Beast power!"


    They were aggressive, they were feral, they were angry!


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    The Scarlet Macaw was the single most powerful Beast Priest here, at the same level as the Plecostomus but the War Priest was a different kind of menace.


    She may be the most powerful but he and his army of angry Goldfish caused the most destruction, it made one wonder what he may have gone through to breed his deep hatred for the sentient races.


    As for thest of the Beast Priests, the Speedster Wolf was like its name suggested, an incredibly fast Wolf with a wind affinity.


    The other 2 may be more powerful and may be causing more destruction, but he was the greatest annoyance to the resistance of the Nak Army.


    Whoosh!


    He moved like the wind itself, ethereal but incredibly deadly.


    There were spikes all across his lean body that could sense wind and control it, they enabled him to always move at peak speed and eleration.


    Most that died to him didn''t even know when they died to him.


    Thest thing that they saw were ominous crimson eyes.


    The Wolf Priest wreaked havoc until he arrived.


    Admiral Skriniac, the only Gravity Mage of the Nak State.


    This old man may not be the most powerful Admiral but his extremely rare affinity pushed him close to the very top. His affinity directly countered the extremely fast Wolf and he focused on countering him.


    As for the angry Goldfish, Admiral Zhao fought this beast.


    He was stronger than the beast but the Goldfish''s anger gave him more power. He was always angry, he was reckless, he didn''t seem to fear death.


    "Beast Supremacy!"


    "Beast power!" He kept yelling as he attacked like a rabid dog.


    All in all, the 3 Beast Priests that were sent by the Beast Coalition were barely being contained already, the only problem was the weaker warriors of the Nak State. They were having a hard time just evacuating Maxum.


    By now, it was already a guarantee that by the end of this all, Maxum would be no more and was why they focused on evacuating.


    The underlings of the 3 Beast Priests though prevented them from escaping.


    This was when the Nightmare Army came into the equation.


    Instantly after the attack on Maxum started, the Nightmare Army responded, 80% of their Grade B Supers heremanded by Vice Commander de. de changed a lot already after 50 years.


    50 years of funing his fighting style already turned him into a monster.


    His Cmity Path was that of Debuffs and Power Redirection.


    Over the years, his mastery of his innate talents already increased a lot and he got his first Supreme Talent, an upgrade of his old Master of Debuffs talent.


    Everything increased.


    The Demoralizing Roar could now affect any existence in the Grade B Realm, including the Disorientation, but the worst and most annoying aspect of him was still the Ear Curse, it was a tool of savage destruction.


    Continually hearing your most annoying song on a loop for 2 minutes was no joke, it sometimes caused opponents to be rash and attack aggressively.


    This was when his second Cmity Path came into the equation.


    When his opponents attack rashly, he redirects their powers using special Pugilist techniques that he created to attack and deal even more damage to them.


    With the Cmity Path of Power Redirection, when calcted right, de now had the power to one-shot an average Grade B Super.


    He was now a Grade B powerhouse at the very top of his grade.


    Not only him, Christensen, Uranus, and the others already took great strides in creating their Cmity Paths and it all showed in this battle.


    The only thing preventing them from bing Cmity Grades yet was the umtion, their levels was nowhere enough to take thest step.


    They were not like Legs who had alternative means of leveling up.


    And in this battle, their power showed.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    They rendered a great help to the Nak Army, rescuing a lot of their warriors who evacuated the but still yet, a lot of them were yet to evacuate.


    And Maxum was already crumbling from within.


    A few minutester and this would implode.


    Billions would die.


    They were desperate, this was when he came.


    WHOOSH!


    The spaceship tore through the escape gravity of this, diving into the atmosphere as the iconic emblem of the Nightmare Army was showcased.


    Feeling his aura, they felt a familiar feeling of security engulf them.


    de took a deep breath of relief. ''He finally left his istion''.


    Bam!


    Legsunched out of the spaceship while it was still in mid-air.


    And apanying him were his beasts!


    After 6 months of istion, only learning more and more knowledge, it was time for the practical aspect to fight again in a real life and death war.


    Legs felt that he was ready.

 Chapter 563 Stimulation In Battle..., Epiphany?

    ?


    Bam!


    Legsunched out of the spaceship while it was still in mid-air.


    Time seemed to freeze as he moved through the air.


    Then, his head moved, he observed.


    -----


    Titan Bloodline Passive Ability has been triggered: Enhanced Instincts- Partial Time Stasis!


    Passive Ability has been triggered: Beast Sense!


    Passive Ability has been triggered: Veteran Summoner!


    ¡­


    You have activated active ability: Spirit Conjurer!


    You have activated Bran Special Active Ability: Eyes of Truth!


    ----


    With the Partial Time Stasis activated, time really seemed to freeze before Legs. His brain moved faster than almost everyone in this battlefield at this moment, he was able to think faster and react faster than all of them.


    With the beast sense passive ability and veteran summoner passive abilities active, his senses of observation and danger increased even more at his moment.


    Then, he activated the Spirit Conjurer active ability.


    Then, he connected to the power of one of his contracted beasts.


    Bzzz!


    Instantly, the distinctive void aura of Bran descended as he activated the Eyes of Truth. The world became clearer to his eyes instantaneously.


    This little maneuver enabled him to observe this whole battlefield in an instant.


    He was able to see the battle of the Cmity Grades.


    He saw the Scarlet Macaw battling with the 2 Admirals of Nak and Ackermann States, he saw the rampage of the angry Goldfish.


    He also saw the swift Speedster Wolf that was now being slightly suppressed.


    ''The Cmity Grade battle is still manageable''.


    Then, he observed the lesser battlefields.


    This was when he saw them.


    Dozens of Grade B Beasts.


    Powerful Grade B Beasts, mostly Scarlet Macaws that induced mini storms in this, tearing escaping spaceships down while destroying spaceports.


    He also saw tens of thousands of smaller versions of the angry Goldfish.


    "Beast Supremacy!"


    "Beast Power!"


    They roared aggressively as they spread destruction everywhere.


    He counted the Grade B Beasts, and he was done instantly.


    ''53 Grade B Beasts''. His eyes narrowed.


    ''Higher than expected but still at a manageable range''.


    Then, he observed the spaceports, the ones that were more in danger at this moment and the Grade B Beasts that were closest to them.


    Then, he did something.


    -----


    You have made use of Character Summon Card: de- Supreme Talent!


    You have triggered Master of Debuffs Supreme Talent!


    ----


    A barely noticeable smirk appeared, then Legs opened his mouth.


    BOOM!


    The same ability that the annoying mercenary Pugilist used!


    In an instant, the focus of all the Grade B Beasts turned from their immediate opponents towards the new enemy that dared to annoy them so f*cking much.


    de annoyed them but he never dared to use it at such arge range.


    de''s Supreme Talent essentially worked as an ability to attract the aggro of enemies, he didn''t dare use it in arge scale because he could not face them all and survive, now his master actually dared to do it.


    de''s eyes widened in surprise but not shock.


    Yet, all these happened in less than a second.


    The partial time stasis finally ended; Legs spoke.


    "de, organize the Nak Army, I want as few deaths as possible!"


    "Yes, Commander!"


    ROAR¡­!


    ROAR¡­!!!


    The Grade B Beasts roared aggressively on seeing the culprit of so much annoying noise assaulting so many of them at once, and Legs made his move.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    You have activated active ability: Summoner Energy Maniption


    ----


    Bzzz! Bzzz!


    A portal opened to the beast ne but, another portal opened.


    From the first portal leading to the beast ne, 4 beasts appeared. Predator, Bran, Ak, and Warp Prime all appeared as they got ready for battle.


    As for the 2nd portal, an army of tamed beasts came.


    They were all Grade B Beasts.


    The first to appear was the Demon Asura, Azrael.


    His sword glowed red; he was ready to harvest souls for the underworld.


    The Demon Asura Akramac and the Demon Asura Argam followed him, and both were swiftly followed by beasts.


    The Guardian Komodo Dragon whose maic powers at the Grade B Realm already became even more formidable and dangerous to enemies.


    Leon, a Cosmic Cheetah.


    A beast that had even more control of the wind element than Ak and could sprint round a in less than a minute.


    A Mud Hippopotamus with a 5-kilometer huge body appeared.


    A Swamp Snake with a lethal Poison affinity appeared.


    A Deer with a single horn that warped with ck lightning appeared.


    And thest of the beasts was a Lion. A gigantic Mud Fire Lion with a huge mane that seemed sturdier than the heaviest shield, it had a mixed affinity of fire and earth and was the shield of Legs''s theorized cmity path.


    14 Grade B Beasts!


    This was the full force that Legs could unleash in a battle.


    Instantly after all these powerful beasts appeared, for a moment, the Beasts of the Beast Coalition paused in shock before they were consumed by rage.


    To them, contracting and taming beasts meant enving them.


    The nerve of this human!


    Legs did not randomly send his beasts into battle though, he took out his weapon, his Obsidian Spear that was personally built by Admiral Zhao.


    The Spear was pitch-ck and its de gleamed like the depths of the abyss.


    Then, Legs entered a stance.


    His left leg shifted backwards as his body bent in the air and with his leg facing down, crackling green energy gathered around him as the pressure around him grew with rapid intensity.


    Bzzz! Bzzz!


    All his beasts reacted to his movements.


    They entered a diamond formation with the Mud Fire Lion at the very front, it''s huge mane acting as a gigantic shield. Directly behind the Lion was Predator and the remaining 3 contracted beasts.


    The other tamed beasts surrounded Legs in the middle.


    After 6 months of learning, this was Legs'' newbat style.


    This was his theorized cmity path and it was time to test it in battle.


    -----


    You have activated Self-Created Ability: Beast Mirage!


    ----


    BOOM!


    He moved, his beasts moved, and they shed with the enemy beasts!


    Legs'' Obsidian Spear led the charge, its ck de leaving a purplish ck crescent line of energy in the air that rapidly elerated towards the beasts.


    Apanying this ck crescent line of energy was an image, a mirage.


    A mirage of 14 beasts all apanying this de energy.


    This was Legs'' Self-Created ability, it took a bit of power from every single one of the beasts in his formation and added it to his own power to massively amplify it, almost increasing it to a grade above his current grade.


    This attack was almost as strong as the attack of a Cmity Grade.


    BOOM!


    When it hit, the first victim, a Thunder Horse exploded into pieces!


    It continued, and it hit again!


    BOOM!


    The 2nd victim suffered a life-threatening injury.


    Bam!


    One moment, the Cosmic Cheetah was at the back of this formation, the next moment, it already moved and the 2nd victim was dead. And the very next moment, it was already back again at the back of the formation.


    This was the deadly speed of a Cosmic Cheetah.


    The attack continued, and it hit another beast.


    The 3rd beast was deeply injured.


    The single horn of the Deer unleashed a purple bolt of lightning!


    BZZZZ!


    The 3rd victim beast was torn to bits!


    Yet, the attack continued.


    It hit the 4th victim and slightly injured it, then its momentum finally came to an end.


    The beasts of the Beast Coalition were shocked, then they exploded with rage as they unleashed their myriad abilities at this summoner.


    ROAR¡­!!!


    The mane of the Mud Fire Lion expanded, creating a gigantic domain of earthen fire as it blocked all the attacks that were shot at the group.


    Then, the rumbling began.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    It was like a gigantic diamond-shaped meatgrinder of 14 beasts moving, with its operator in the middle orchestrating the mischief.


    The beasts moved and attacked in tandem, following Legs''mands.


    -----


    You have activated Self-Created Ability: Stick like a Bull; Sting like a Viper!


    ----


    BOOM!


    This self-created ability was borrowed from the concept of de''s redirection cmity path.


    The Mud Fire Lion absolved the attack, and incorporating its residual power with the power from the others in the formation, Predator attacked, unleashing power that was far above his level.


    2 enemy beasts died the 2 times that he unleashed this menace.


    Anytime that the enemy beasts managed to scatter their formation and attacked the Summoner, hoping to end him quickly, Legs showed unreal resilience, shrugging off their attacks until the formation was reformed.


    Grade B Beasts became nothing more than cannon fodder to this Summoner.


    de and the other Grade B powerhouses of the Nightmare Army knew that their Commander was strong, they have seen him fight in desperate circumstances before but definitely not this strong.


    They watched in shock even as they kept on evacuating rapidly.


    ''Did 6 months do all this to him?'' de thought in shock.


    ''He really is a monster!''


    For 6 months, Legs had been learning. From what he understood, his Cmity Path was OP but he could not confirm its power until he really fought.


    At this moment though, as he ughtered enemy Grade B Beasts, he felt that he was right, everything was right but¡­ not perfect.


    At this moment, despite showing so much indomitable power, Legs felt due to some strange reason that this was not the true potential of the Cmity path that he envisioned.


    ''Something is missing''. He thought.


    ''What is it?''


    He tried to think of it but he could not.


    Every moment, he felt like he was getting closer to grasping it, he felt like he was close to an epiphany but it kept on eluding him.


    He started attacking in frustration, killing even more beasts.


    Minutester, he calmed down, then a word floated to his mind.


    ''Battle Controller''.


    Was this it?


    Was this the epiphany?

 Chapter 564 The Strongest Calamity Path?

    ?


    ''Battle Controller!''


    Legs froze briefly as excitement gripped him.


    Was this it?


    Was this the epiphany?


    The giant meatgrinder formed from his incredible synergy and battle formation with his contracted beasts and tamed beasts kept on oppressing the beasts, pushing them back while giving them serious injuries.


    Legs was surrounded but he didn''t feel surrounded.


    He was outnumbered but he didn''t feel outnumbered.


    For some strange reason, he felt that it was the beasts that were outnumbered and surrounded, he felt that it was them that should fear.


    BAM!


    Predator struck again alongside his Obsidian Spear, tearing another angry Goldfish to bloody pieces as the others attacked even more aggressively.


    By now, Legs was no longer paying as much attention to the enemy beasts, instead, all his attention was on his mind, on that feeling.


    ''Battle Controller¡­''


    ''Is that what I need toplete my cmity path?''


    He felt that the concept was in his brain but it was only hovering round his brain. He didn''t force it. He could tell that if he forced it, he may lose this concept gained from his epiphany forever and there was no guarantee of getting it back.


    This was why no matter how curious he was at this moment, he tried his best to stay patient, not doing anything rash, just attacking the enemy beasts.


    Attacking the enemy beasts gave him this epiphany though it was not clear.


    This was why he felt that attacking them more would rify it.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    It worked!


    It truly started clearing up in his head.


    It no longer felt like just a fleeting thought, it now became a true concept that kept on reverberating in his head.


    This continued for over a dozen seconds as he kept on fighting.


    Then, he understood it.


    For a brief moment, Legs'' eyes widened in shock.


    ''Path of the Grandmaster¡­'' He took inspiration for his cmity path from this, but his aim was to go even further and improve on it.


    His original intention was to make it in a way where apart from emting the Path of the Grandmaster by fighting with his tamed and contracted beasts, using techniques that he created, he also took full advantage of his body.


    After getting supreme talents like the Physique of the Primordial Undying Cockroach and the Honey Badger Armor, he felt that it would be a waste to not make use of the advantages of these incredible supreme talents.


    Conan, the Mad Berserker was an outlier among beasts.


    In Gctic society, only Beyond Grade A''s were guaranteed to have Supreme Talents, there were even some Cmity Grades who had no Supreme Talents and it said a lot about the difficulty of awakening one.


    Legs got his 2 Supreme Talents through a mixture of luck, cleverness, and other advantages that no other Super had.


    No other Super had the future knowledge that he had.


    No other Super was a reincarnator from earth apart from Maximus and his predecessor, but both were not here currently.


    Few Supers even if reincarnated could make use of the future knowledge like he did, and even fewer would be as motivated to find the mystery behind their reincarnation that originally pushed him into the path of power.


    All these reasons and more pushed him to exceed his limits countless times, and it culminated in him getting the chance to get these 2 Supreme Talents.


    His original n was to integrate his ridiculous body for a Summoner that was birth from his Supreme Talents into the Path of the Grandmaster, but now, in this battlefield, he got an epiphany that opened him to more.


    ''Who said I can''t add more to my Cmity Path?''


    ''I''ve been too limited by the normal conventions established by other Supers; I am not like other Supers!''


    ''I am me, one of the game developers of Dominator!''


    As he came to that realization, it was like a dam broke in his head.


    Shackles that originally bound his imaginations were set loose.


    His imagination finally ran wild without bounds.


    ''All the paths of the Summoner main ss were theorized by focusing on certain aspects of a Summoner''s powers and seeking to amplify it even more''.


    ''Since I have more powers, what if I can add those to my Cmity Path?''


    ''What if I can increase my Titan bloodline powers even further and integrate them into creating an even more formidable Cmity Path?''


    ''What if I decide to even maximize the potential of my body''s power even more by giving more focus towards the Diamond Beast-Body Path? Is it possible tobine this with my alreadyplicated Path of the Grandmaster?''


    ''It should be possible!'' His eyes gleamed with excitement.


    ''A Cmity Path can only be created based on the existing powers and advantages of a Super, and since I have the powers to act as a foundation for all these, I think I canbine all these into a single Cmity Path''.


    ''But¡­'' His body shook in excitement. ''What if I can go even further?''


    ''What if I take the Beast Combatant path to an even more extreme and try to have a base control level of 100% with every single one of my contracted beasts before ascending to the Cmity Grade?''


    ''How powerful will I be then?'' He felt goosebumps at the thought.


    ''But¡­'' He shuddered in excitement. ''What if I can go even further?''


    During this intense battle with the enemy beasts, he was able to tell how his theorized Cmity Path was already bing but he also noticed some ws.


    Only his contracted beasts had a telepathic connection with him.


    He had to activelymunicate and give his tamed beasts signs before they knew what to do in his diamond meatgrinder formation. This introduced somegs between when he gave orders and when his beasts executed them.


    It may not seem like much but in a battle of the very highest levels, tiny margins like this could decide victory and defeat.


    Tiny margins like this could decide life and death.


    And, the more his tamed beasts grew in the future, the more this problem would be prevalent, this was what brought this solution to his mind.


    He shuddered at the mere thought of it. ''What if I actively integrate my Battle Controller sub ss into my Cmity Path?''


    ''What if with it, I am somehow able to get an ability that will enable me tomunicate telepathically with every single one of my tamed beasts?''


    ''How OP will I be them?''


    ''How abnormal will my Cmity Path be then?''


    ''This will be a Cmity Path that cannot be threaded by no one else but me, no one else fulfills all the requirements to create this Cmity Path''.


    ''This is a Cmity Path that is exclusive to me?''


    His eyes widened in hype. ''Are there stronger Cmity Paths out there?''


    ''Will this be the strongest Cmity Path ever created?''


    He had no idea but he was hyped for it, he was up for the challenge.


    For a moment, Legs let his beasts fight his battles alone as he brought out a book with a thick dark green cover and started rapidly scribbling away.


    There was no guarantee that he would not forget everything after now.


    He jotted down all the theories that he just arrived at.


    He was determined to pursue them all to the end and create the ultimate Cmity Path, but for now, there was a job to do.


    He had to let the Nak warriors evacuate to safety.

    ----


    BOOM!


    Leading with the Obsidian Spear again, a wave of ck spear energy amplified by the powers of all 14 of the beasts in this diamond beast formation swept outward as 3 more beasts died to it.


    Legs predicted a furious counterattack from the beasts and got prepared, this was why he brought out the Lucius'' Mirror.


    This was the reward that he got from a ruin after years of traveling round the Minerva Star System as a free mercenary.


    As all the attacks from the beasts came, Legs charged forward and for the first time took the ce of the Mud Fire Lion, he pointed the mirror out.


    Bzzz!


    A light shone from the mirror the next moment, attracting all the attacks into it as the mirror started shaking from the sheer amount of energy umted in it.


    Then¡­


    WHOOM!


    All the energy wasunched back in a massive attack!


    No beast died, but over a dozen beasts were left heavily injured, leaving them vulnerable to a counterattack and Legs was not sluggish.

    All dozen beasts that were heavily injured died.

 Chapter 565 The Attack Plan

    ?


    1 dayter¡­


    As soon as Maxum exploded and the Scarlet Macaw led the beasts to escape which they did despite the tight security of this state, Legs did not follow hispanions to their headquarters, he returned to the library.


    For 6 months, he holed himself up in this library looking for his path.


    After the battle, he felt that he finally found it and he holed himself back in.


    He did not want to speak to anyone until he was done.


    At this moment, inside the national library of Nak State¡­


    After a full day of writing down and analyzing the result of the epiphany that he got during the battle, he already created a guide book that will lead him forward.


    The only thing remaining was to give it a name.


    Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Legs thought on a name.


    ''What should I give it? Legs path?''


    ''No, that''s toome''.


    ''Path of the true master?''


    ''Nah!''


    ''What should I give it?''


    He thought on the name for good 20 minutes before he settled for one, he carefully wrote on the book with the magic pen before stopping to look at it.


    At this moment, a textbook was already formed with a title written in bold.


    >Path of the Maverick- Arch Grandmaster<


    >Author: Legs Baron<


    Legs flipped the pages of this book open and looked through its contents.


    He wrote the different more obvious processes that he theorized to create this Cmity path in a chronological order.


    This cmity path could only be mastered by him, he wrote down the ways that he theorized for himself to master it.


    *Thorough understanding and proficiency for the path of the Grandmaster.


    *A proper inheritance to maximize potential of Titan bloodline powers.


    *Body strengthening and applying the different verified techniques for total mastery of the Diamond-Beast Body path to maximize advantage of Supreme Talents.


    *Even more mastery of the Beast Combatant path, find a way to achieve a base control level of 100% with every single contracted beast.


    Legs paused after reading to this ce, he checked it.


    -----


    [Hierarchy ranking and base control level after integration:]


    >Predator<


    [Base Control Level: 135%]


    ¡­

    [Base Control Level: 100%]


    ¡­


    >Warp Prime<


    [Base Control Level: 89%]


    ----


    "¡­!"


    Seeing this, Legs froze in shock.


    Not because of the base control level since Warp Prime was his only contracted beast remaining to cross that threshold, half a century of countless battles made this possible but this was not what caused his shock.


    His eyes widened. ''Why did it show a base control level for Lucky?''


    ''I can actually integrate with Lucky too?''


    ''Wait, that does not make sense, she''s not my contracted beast!''


    "But¡­,'' His eyes widened even further. ''Lucky has never been like any conventional beast pet, is this rted to how I got her, the game interface?''


    Ideas started flowing through his head on the spot. ''Was this a recent addition or I can do this before?''


    ''If this had been like this since, I may have been underutilizing Lucky since''.


    ''If I can integrate with her too, that means I already broke the paradigms of a Grade B Summoner since I can integrate with 5 beasts while still being in the Grade B realm which means creating an even more powerful final form''.


    ''Damn! How powerful can I be with this?''


    Just thinking of the countless possibilities made him excited.


    If Lucky was here, he would try it again but unfortunately, she was unavable.


    20 years ago, the Illusion Emperor finally made an appearance before Legs. She wanted to take her student away for some special training.


    ording to this Emperor, Lucky had the potential to be a Grade S Fox and the duty fell upon her shoulders to oversee her rise to the top.


    Legs did not reject, not that he could, Lucky left with her master.


    Its been 2 decades since hest saw his beast pet.


    Legs forced himself to ignore this to focus on the book again.


    *Find a way to integrate Battle Controller sub ss into cmity path.


    *Learn or create an ability that enables telepathicmunication with tamed beasts like with contracted beasts.


    Legs'' eyes gleamed as he looked at the book.


    This was the Cmity Path that he theorized.


    This was the cmity path of the maverick.


    This was the cmity path of the Arch Grandmaster.


    He finally stood up in the library. ''This is unprecedented, the difficulty is insane, there is even a great chance that I may never seed in creating it and I''ll be stuck at the Grade B realm all my life but I''m determined to create it''.


    ''Alone, I stand no chance from the onset''.


    ''To stand a chance, I need the support and help of Nak State''.


    Legs finally left the library again.


    ¡­


    President Dunk was angry.


    A livid expression was on this President''s face as he read through the reports of the attack on Maxum yesterday. By this point, Ackermann State was suffering even more than his state but the damages were still monumental.


    He lost another whole and this one was even a strategic.


    Its value was on a whole other level to other normals.


    The stress of the past few months was already getting to this President, his nerves kept on being stretched taut, anxiety struck him again and again.


    A few hours ago, he could no longer hold it. "Is he still in there?"


    "Sir, he just came out".


    President Dunk turned to look at the Chief Admiral immediately.


    He took a deep breath. "Send for him, bring him here".


    "Yes, Mr. President".


    A few minutester, Legs came into the secure room of the President where only 2 additional individuals were gathered, Admiral Zhao and Admiral Greg.


    This was the new inner circle of the President for the past 6 months.


    As soon as Legs entered, he looked at the President. "You called for me".


    "Yes". President Dunk turned to look at him as he took a deep breath. "The survival of Nak State is in danger, I think now is the time to implement it".


    Legs calmly looked at the President. "The attack n?"


    "Yes". He nodded. "You theorized then that we leave Admiral Nathan while feeding him false intel, we have done exactly this for the past few months and he had never discovered us, we are sure of that".


    "I think it is time to implement your n to hit back at the beasts".


    "If we keep at it like this, perhaps, by the time we finally get ready to execute the attack n, Nak State would be too weak to threaten them".


    "We need to strike now". President Dunk stared at Legs.


    He nodded. "I agree".


    "You agree?"


    "Yes". Legs nodded calmly. "It''s right about time".


    Then he looked at the 2 Admirals in this room. "It''s just like I said, for the attack n, I want to be part of the strike force and to be part of them, I need to be a Grade B+ Super to stand a chance at surviving".


    Chief Admiral Greg''s face became cold. "But your progress is slow".


    "Now anymore". Legs smiled and dropped a book.


    They all looked at the title.


    >Path of the Maverick- Arch Grandmaster<


    >Author: Legs Baron<


    As soon as they read through the book, their eyes widened in shock. "This is your theorized Cmity Path?"


    "Yes". Legs answered with a slight smirk.


    "Is this even possible?"


    "Maybe". He just looked at them.


    Revealing so much about himself seemed excessive but it was a show of trust on his path. Revealing his cmity path already revealed a lot about him, and the kind of monster he would likely be at the Cmity Grade.


    This would induce either of 2 things in their hearts.


    Either they would see him as a potential powerful enemy of Nak State in the future and decide to eliminate him early, or they would see him as a potential powerful ally that would help Nak State rise to greater heights.


    If it was the first, he was doomed.


    But if it was the second, he would enter an even higher level of paradise than what he was currently enjoying from the Nak State.


    Legs felt the Spirit Senses of the 3 Nak warriors before him move, they weremunicating rapidly about his fate and what would happen to him.


    For a moment, he felt nervous as it seemingly became too long.


    Would he die today?


    Amid his thoughts, they finished, President Dunk focused on him.


    The President took a deep breath. "We took a big decision today".


    "We believe that you''re not someone that betrays the trust that is ced on you, that is why we''re willing to invest even more in your growth".


    "How long do you think you need to be a Grade B+ Summoner?"


    "2 months, 3 at most".


    President Dunk nodded. "What do you need?"


    This was when Legs finally grinned. "I want ess to a proper Titan inheritance that will enable me awaken more of my Titan bloodline powers".


    "I need the verified techniques to learn the Diamond Beast-Body path and more ways to strengthen my body and increase my advantage even more".


    Chief Admiral Greg briefly interrupted. "It''s weird that as a Summoner, you pay so much attention to increasing your physical body strength and endurance".


    Legs grinned. "I''m weird".


    "Is that all?" President Dunk asked.


    "I need ess to powerful techniques for the Beast Combatant path, and if possible, I also want something that will enable me get to 100% base control level with every single one of my contracted beasts".


    "Lastly, if there is, I want an ability that will enable me tomunicate telepathically with every single one of my tamed beasts".


    President Dunk silently looked into this Summoner''s eyes for a minute.


    Then he spoke. "Done".


    The attack n was till 3 monthster after Legs became a Grade B+ Summoner.

 Chapter 566 Training [1]

    ?


    What was the normal reaction of a sane person if they heard of the theorized path of the Maverick- Arch Grandmaster?


    Ridiculous!


    That would be the normal reaction of any sane person.


    For centuries, the paths of a Summoner were established for every Summoner in the Minerva Star System. They were established from years of research, wars, and countless trial and error.


    Perhaps, in other star systems, there are even more theorized Summoner paths but not in the Minerva Star System.


    Summoners followed the well-known paths because it enabled them to save a lot of time for research to invest in training, and also because it gave them a guaranteed path to the Cmity Grade if they were able to meet all the requirements.


    Even with these surefire Cmity Paths, very few Summoners could take thest leap to close the distance to the Cmity Grade.


    This showed the difficulty of bing a Cmity Grade Super.


    If it was already this hard, which sane Summoner would want to increase the difficulty even more by creating an entirely new and even moreplicated path?


    Only an insane Summoner would think of that.


    To President Dunk and the Nak Admirals, Legs was ambitious and overreaching and was doomed to fail from the very beginning on his Cmity Path.


    The only reason why they didn''t warn him yet was because they were in desperate times, and desperate times calls for desperate measures.


    Legs may not be able to be a Cmity Grade with his theorized cmity path, but he could definitely be an immensely powerful Grade B+ Summoner with it.


    And if this would save Nak State, they would do it.


    This was why they didn''t intervene.


    Legs knew exactly what went through their minds when they approved all his demands but he didn''t care, afterall, no one knew of the game interface.


    It was his true cheat in this life to change reality in his favor.


    They didn''t need to believe in him, he believed in himself and that was all that mattered. Legs was determined to create the strongest cmity path.


    That same day, he started taking advantage of his new privileges to train.


    Now, it was already 5 days.


    Legs was in istion away from normal gctic life, not even his students or anybody from the Nightmare Army could contact him in his current location.


    This was one of the hiddens of Nak State.


    The Beast Coalition seemed to have cornered the 2 ruling States of the Minerva Star System already, but despite their numerous victories, there were tangible reasons why the beasts never went in for a head-on assault.


    The Nak and Ackermann States had ruled this star system for millenniums.


    During this time, they created extremely deep foundations.


    For most of them, rules were made to never use them unless the state was on the verge of going extinct.


    These deep foundations were mostly hidden in the hiddens.


    Hiddens weres that were isted and hidden through Ultimate Stealth technology, something that only Beyond Grade A Mechanics could hack and breakthrough without sending any rms.


    There were lots of hiddens and they held different things.


    Some were simply lifes where the whole is turned into a gigantic farm that can provide food for the Nak State for decades during war period.


    Others were shelters in the case of emergency evacuations.


    The most important were the blood-taggeds.


    They were of various types.


    Some blood-taggeds were entirely filled with nuclear warheads and antimatter bombs that can beunched by a singlemand; others were gigantic warehouses for millions of warships.


    The presidency post of Nak Statested 100 years each tenure.


    Only the acting President had knowledge of the location of the blood-taggeds, and when leaving, the relevant memory is always wiped out of each President''s head to prevent the deepest secrets of the Nak State from going out.


    Legs was not in a blood-tagged though.


    Trainings existed to train special talented breeds of the Nak State. 90% of the current Admirals and Cmity Grades of the Nak State were created from trainings, and Rockfest was one made for Pugilists.


    This had the best teachers with knowledge on body strengthening.


    They had different crazy techniques and medications to strengthen the body, and with just some tweaks, this old Pugilist teachers could also theorize ways for beasts to increase the strength of their bodies, this was why Legs came here.


    He came here to strengthen his body and get total mastery of his Diamond Beast-Body path to maximize the advantage of his Supreme Talents.


    For the past few days, he had constantly wowed the prodigy Pugilists here.


    A Pugilist instructor with a stern expression hovered above a battle arena. "Trainee #1,021 and Trainee 612, enter the battle arena".


    "You have only 5 minutes to defeat your opponent".


    "If 5 minutes is exceeded with no one being defeated, it''s a draw".


    Legs looked at his opponent as he entered the ring, he had red funky-styled hair and he wielded a pair of punching gloves.


    The battles in Rockfest pushed the talented Pugilists to challenge each other to death battles in the arena. Of course, before a talent dies, the instructors intervene to rescue said talented Pugilist.


    There were 1,231 trainees in Rockfest and winning death battles determines your rank, which also determines how much resources for body strengthening you will get at the end of the month.


    Of course, President Dunk already approved everything that he needed but Legs still fought the other trainees to increase his training efficiency.


    Since arriving here 3 days ago, Legs had fought over a dozen opponents with just his body, using only his physical strength and skills as he was able to rise from the bottom all the way to now fight the trainee ranked #612.


    Unlike him who could not use his main Summoner abilities, they had ess to all their dangerous Pugilist abilities, making them a menace to face in the arena.


    Since yesterday, he had been stuck against this trainee #612.


    Again, he challenged the trainee to another death battle.


    DING!


    As soon as the bell rang, the Pugilist red at him, then¡­

    ----


    This was the only reason why Legs could fight with these talented Pugilists. Since all his beasts would fuse with his body, it was not seen as cheating but simply a more advanced way of increasing his physical power.


    In the Nightmare Hippopotamus state, Legs felt full of power as he charged at the Pugilist, instantly kickstarting the battle.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    In the battle arena, it was like a battle between a beast and a warrior.


    It was explosive, aggressive, and filled with blood.


    This time, Legs came closer than ever before to beat this talented Pugilist but like usual, the incredible techniques of this opponent gave him the edge.


    After the battle, Legs learned even more about the perfect Diamond Beast-Body path as he went into further istion.


    During the istion, he took the body strengthening pills.


    -----


    You have ingested a body strengthening pill!


    Your body strength potential has increased!


    Your blood capacity has increased!


    Your mana pathways have been strengthened!


    ----


    For 2 days, Legs never came out of his istion.


    He just kept on eating more body strengthening pills, using the specific training exercises taught by the Pugilist instructors to use the energy from the pills to strengthen his organs, his blood, and mana pathways.


    These were essential to make sure that his outside body did not be too stronger than his internals, it could easily prove fatal in a high intensity battle.


    Even as he trained his body with strengthening pills while exercising vigorously for his body to adapt, he also worked on his techniques.


    It was very essential for those taking the Beast Combatant and Diamond Beast-Body path, and during these 2 days, he created 2 more Self-Created abilities.


    Most importantly of all though, after a week sinceing here, Legs finally felt a feeling of saturation.


    Despite not being a Pugilist, he did it.


    He finally reached the body strength potential cap for a Grade B Super.


    Legs finally stood up for the first time in 2 days, he stretched properly then he focused on the medal on his neck which glowed blue shortly after.


    He took a deep breath. "I want to challenge trainee #612 again".


    [Please wait for instructions!]


    A mechanical voice reverberated.


    [Your opponent has epted your challenge!]


    [5,000 Contribution Points have been deducted!]


    [Please make your way to thebat arena!]


    [Failure to do so means automatic forfeit!]


    Legs''s eyes gleamed. ''Let''s see how much I grew''.

 Chapter 567 Training [2]

    ?


    [Your opponent has epted your challenge!]


    [5,000 Contribution Points have been deducted!]


    [Please make your way to thebat arena!]


    [Failure to do so means automatic forfeit!]


    Legs did not hesitate.


    Picking up his Obsidian Spear that had been at his side while he trained to his body''s full potential for days, he levitated towards thebat arena.


    As a Grade B Super, Legs still didn''t have the power to levitate on sheer energy alone, instead what he used was a gravity boot.


    It enabled him to levitate by burning energy.


    His speed was fast, he arrived in just 5 seconds.


    Thud!


    Hended just outside thebat arena.


    At this moment, a massive blue shield epassed thebat arena, a shield that was powerful enough to withstand the casual attack of a Cmity Grade Super.


    Despite the fact that this battle was just organized a few seconds ago, over a hundred Pugilist trainees were already gathered at this moment.


    Battles were ways for them to observe the cmity path of their opponents and not just that, every battle at this realm was intense and gave them inspiration on how to progress on their cmity paths.


    Some of them that were stuck mostly came here for epiphanies.


    Afterall, it was not every day that the trainees here got to see battles since it took long periods to improve an inch in the Grade B realm.


    It was when the entric trainee came that everything changed.


    He challenged trainees almost every other day.


    Also, at this moment, Legs'' opponent was already here.


    The red-haired Pugilist red at him with fiery eyes.


    He smirked. "Here to waste some more contribution points?"


    Having fought Legs multiple times in the past few days, losing 5,000 contribution points anding back each time, this yer became irritated.


    Not for the reason you would expect, he became irritated because his opponent seemed to be one of those rich overpampered heirs.


    He was probably the descendant of some immensely powerful super who held a high position in Nak State, so he had the luxury toze away while his parents paved his pathway to power and stardom.


    He hated people like this with passion.


    "Answer me, dog!" He snapped on being ignored.


    Despite being called a dog, Legs did not react to it, rather his attention was on the old Pugilist with white hair and beard that was looking at them.


    Like the other, this Pugilist instructor had a stern look on his face.


    "Trainee #1,021 and Trainee 612, enter the battle arena".


    "You have only 5 minutes to defeat your opponent".


    "If 5 minutes is exceeded with no one being defeated, it''s a draw".


    This was when the blue shield covering thebat arena finally opened and they walked in. Once they were in, it closed up and Legs looked at his opponent.


    "Are you ready?"


    The red-haired Pugilist snorted. "More ready than you".


    Legs nodded. "Good, you''ll need it".


    DING!


    As soon as the bell rang, like usual, Legs acted but this time, it instantly became clear to the Pugilist that something was not right.

    ----


    It was almost the same notification but something changed.


    It was no longer just Rage Demon; it was now Rage Demon King.


    The difference seemed tiny but it meant everything.


    This was a different version of the tank with anger issues.


    BZZZ!


    Instantly after Legs summoned all his beasts and fused with them, his opponent, the Pugilist felt an apocalyptic pressure hit against his chest.


    He felt breathless instantly as he started suffocating.


    In just 2 days, Legs'' aura changedpletely.


    This was no longer the same Nightmare Hippopotamus.


    It was just 2 days but these 2 days meant everything. In these 2 days, Legs did not just fune his fighting techniques more, but he also achieved the legendary feat of having a body with the strength potential cap for a grade.


    Legs'' sheer body strength increased by a factor of almost 10 times!


    Mix it with the growth of his beasts'' physicality too and it was evident that he was now an entirely different monster from 2 days ago.


    The Pugilist was shocked by the pressure but he still attacked.


    Legs had always had a stronger body than him despite being a Summoner, his advantage that helped him win had always been his powerful techniques.


    Not this time though, Legs grabbed his spear tighter, then¡­


    -----


    You have activated Self-Created Technique: Nature Connection!


    ----


    BOOM!


    He stabbed with his spear and that one stab ended it all.


    All the spectators saw was a bright sh of light.


    Then the next moment, they saw an unconscious Pugilist that was being protected by a protective aura that was released by the Pugilist instructor.


    This meant that thest attack would have ended his life.


    "¡­!" They all gasped in shock.


    One attack to obliterate Trainee #612, this was ridiculous!


    [Trainee #1,021 has defeated Trainee #612!]


    [Do you want to continue and issue another challenge?]


    "Yes". Legs answered immediately.


    Then, the Pugilist instructor looked up at the spectators.


    The format of thebat arena only allowed a lower-ranked trainee to throw challenges to all higher-ranked trainees and not vice versa. The higher-ranked trainees will determine if they have the power to fight the challenger.


    If they could, they epted the challenge to gain the contribution points.


    If the challenger won though, he would automatically take the position of the defeated trainee to be updated during the next trainee ranking update.


    This meant that Trainee #1 could even ept his challenge right now and it won''t be bullying, Legs got that much but he was not scared.


    Those high-ranked Trainees were too busy to pay attention to weaklings like him, they only fight inbat arenas when the stakes are high enough.


    That was why he was confident that the opponent would be on his level.


    While he waited for his opponent though, Legs reflected.


    ''Nature Connection''. This was the first self-created technique that he created topliment his powerful body during the training.


    The world was filled with natural neutral mana.


    Mana turning into elemental and other types of mana were always influenced by different factors. As for Nature Connection that he created though, he created it after getting an epiphany.


    Nature Connection enabled him to connect to the natural neutral mana in the world, this connection enabled him to draw upon some of the powers of the world to amplify his weapon attacks.


    As for how he almost killed the Pugilist, he simply gathered all the nature energy that he connected to at the tip of the spear like a bomb.


    Then on stabbing the spear, all this gathered energyunched out like aser, creating a ranged attack that was powerful enough to one-shot that Pugilist.


    This was Legs'' new power after upgrade!


    [Trainee #405 has epted challenge!]


    Legs picked up his Obsidian Spear and got ready for battle.


    Thud!


    Shended close to thebat arena.


    Compared to the previous Pugilist, Trainee #405 was a blonde beauty.


    Yes, she was a female Pugilist who wielded 2 light swords. It was clear that her Cmity Path was focused on maximizing agility to the peak.


    "Trainee #1,021 and Trainee #405, enter the battle arena".


    "You have only 5 minutes to defeat your opponent".


    "If 5 minutes is exceeded with no one being defeated, it''s a draw".


    The blue shield opened and she entered inside.


    Compared to the first Pugilist, she did not talk and she had a focused look on her face, carefully scrutinizing every detail and move that Legs made.


    Then¡­


    DING!


    This female Pugilist took a step and¡­ she exploded!


    BOOM!


    The attack arrived like lightning, almost as fast as the speed of light.


    One moment, his opponent was at the other side of the arena, and the next, her twin swords were already digging deep into Legs'' neck!


    "¡­" Legs gasped in shock.


    He feared for his life but he quickly calmed down.


    At this moment, her twin swords were digging into his neck, blood flowed but that was all. She could not severe his head, his body strength and resilience were on a whole other levelpared to this Pugilist.


    His Honey Badger Armor Supreme Talent was no bluff.


    Legs grabbed her swords with his free left hand, ignoring the pain then¡­


    BAM!


    Legs rammed forward with his shoulder but she reacted fast.


    Her agility was insane.


    Drawing back instantaneously, she evaded his attack as with her twin swords, she turned into a raging green wind that started circling him.


    For 2 seconds, she did not attack, only encircling him.


    Legs finally understood her cmity path.


    She focused on absolute speed in sacrifice for base power. But with her rapid speed, herbat style was to wait until her opponent revealed an opening and she would take advantage by attacking with everything she got.


    The momentum from her speed alone would give her terrifying power.


    Legs'' eyes gleamed, then he moved.


    ''An opening!'' She thought.


    Whoosh!


    She was really insanely fast!


    Legs only saw a blur but he focused on his instincts and reacted.


    -----


    You have activated Self-Created Technique: Body-Gravity Explosion!


    ----


    BOOM!


    What the spectators first saw was a sh of gray energy then a grunt reverberated in thebat arena followed by her coughing blood.


    She was stunned and left dizzy; he ruthlessly took advantage.


    Her agility was too fast, Legs could not stab with his spear fast enough so he simply stabbed it down on thebat arena.


    He pounced on her with his bare fists.


    She was already recovering but Legs'' huge left palm grabbed her by the neck before she couldpletely recover, this spelt her doom.


    She tried to resist but it only felt like the resistance of an ant before a cat.


    Clenching his right fist, Legs'' eyes gleamed as he punched straight at her face with incredible power.


    BAM!


    The protective aura surrounded her head.


    She was already unconscious.


    The battle was over.


    "¡­!" Shock rippled through this training.


    ''What just happened?!''

 Chapter 568 Training [3]

    568 Training [3]


    Shock rippled through this training.


    ''What just happened?!'' Questions were raised.


    "¡­" Most of the spectating Pugilists were too shocked to speak.


    "He cheated!" One of them suddenly shouted.


    Faces turned towards him and they were all conflicted, they also wanted to believe him but the fact that the Pugilist instructor didn''t point the strange trainee out already indicated that he likely won fairly.


    The only question was¡­ how?


    "There''s no way his physical power can be so ridiculous, right?!"


    "That''s only possible for a Pugilist who already reached the body strength grade cap, and that''s even above the average for those crazy geniuses who already attained that level!"


    "There''s no way he''s at that level!" This Pugilist was finding it so hard to believe what he saw that he simply vented his disbelief with words.


    Everyone ignored him, only some Pugilists in the single digits narrowed their eyes in shock at what they just witnessed.


    Yes, the powerful Pugilists in this training were mostly on istion, trying to perfect their cmity paths but they also came out at times.


    Like the others, they also needed inspiration to take thest step.


    7 Pugilists close to the very top were present today.


    They watched with narrowed eyes in surprise, this was because unlike the others, they were able to see everything that happened with total rity.


    ''He''s strong!'' They concluded.


    [Trainee #1,021 has defeated Trainee #405!]


    [Do you want to continue and issue another challenge?]


    This confirmed it even further that Legs did win fairly.


    "Yes". Legs answered immediately.


    Even as he answered, he focused on thest few minutes of that battle.


    Unlike trainee #612 that he obliterated in 1 strike, the female Pugilist was an opponent that perfectly countered his abilities.


    If he was a normal Pugilist, he would have already learned specialized Pugilist techniques to tackle fast opponents with incredible agility but he was a Summoner.


    Despite his incredible control level with his beasts in the final form, it was still a body created from a fusion, the synergy was nowhere close to the understanding that a Pugilist had of his powerful body.


    It was incredibly hard for him to react to her attacks.


    The only reason why he won was his powerful body.


    He furrowed his brows. ''I need to create techniques to counter fast opponents, the body-gravity explosion is not full proof alone''.


    Yes, the body-gravity explosion was his 2nd self-created technique in 7 days.


    The months of devouring knowledge in the Nak national library were not in vain, theories from there mixed with the practical here helped him immensely.


    The Body-Gravity Explosion was an offshoot of the Nature Connection.


    Instead of simply tapping on the power of the natural neutral mana in the air to amplify his attacks and his weapon, he rather drew on the power of the natural neutral mana and condensed it around his body to thick concentrations.


    He was able to saturate this concentration to a point of explosion.


    In this state, when he willed it, the natural neutral mana would simply explode in a wave of energy but that was not all.


    Afterall, there was gravity added to the name.


    After achieving the body strength potential cap for a Grade B Super,pared to a normal human, Legs'' body was now iparably heavy.


    Gravity was rted to weight.


    The heavier he was, the stronger his gravity.


    Using this concept from physics, he applied it to his self-created technique.


    He didn''t just condense natural neutral mana around his body, he also condensed them inside his body to an extent where his weight increased by almost 100 times!


    It almost caused the floor of thebat arena to start cracking.


    With such weight, his gravity was immense so when the explosion of energy is triggered, his gravity also affects it, creating a shockwave of immense force.


    Few Supers in the Grade B realm could withstand this force.


    9.9 times out of 10, they will be pushed backwards.


    This was Legs'' true physical power.


    Yet, it was just one facet of his true powers as a Super.


    This time, it took even longer, almost 2 minutes for another trainee to ept but like expected, one epted.


    Afterall, this was a for Pugilist prodigies of the Nak State.


    [Trainee #221 has epted your challenge!]


    This was a jump of almost 200 trainees, this was crazy!


    Thud!


    Shended close to the arena.


    Yes, it was another female but this one wielded a gigantic halberd.


    The Pugilist instructorpleted the ritual.


    "Trainee #1,021 and Trainee #221, enter the battle arena".


    "You have only 5 minutes to defeat your opponent".


    "If 5 minutes is exceeded with no one being defeated, it''s a draw".


    DING!


    21:05


    She didn''t rush to attack, instead she pointed at him and taunted.


    They entered the arena and it started¡­


    DING!


    She didn''t rush to attack, instead she pointed at him and taunted.


    "Come¡­, give me the best you got".


    "As you wish". Legs did not hesitate.


    -----


    You have activated Self-Created Technique: Nature Connection!


    ----


    BOOM!


    He moved across thebat arena like a bolt of lightning.


    She was not intimidated though, she was prepared.


    With her gigantic halberd crossed directly in front of her body, she pushed with all her might and they finally collided.


    BOOM!


    Crack!


    Her eyes widened in shock; her left shoulder de just snapped!


    Legs was also shocked. ''She withstood my full-powered attack?!''


    His eyes widened, excitement overwhelmed him. ''She''s like me!''


    ''She also already achieved the body potential strength cap!''


    He attacked with zeal and enthusiasm.


    She felt the danger and she reacted.


    Taking one step, she jerked her shoulders with force, pushing her shoulder des back into ce as her gray Pugilist energy erupted, recovering her injuries.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Halberd and spear shed at a rapid intensity.


    Legs was shocked the more he fought her. ''She''s a monster!''


    ''Though her techniques are clumsypared to all the others that I''ve fought, her physical powerpared to them is on a whole other level''.


    ''She would be even stronger physically than me if I didn''t have my Supreme Talents, and if I didn''t integrate with all of my contracted beasts!''


    The more he fought, the more excited he became.


    She dragged the duel out for 5 minutes which was already shocking to the spectators and the ending was even more shocking, Legs won again.


    As she fell unconscious, silence dominated thisbat arena.


    ''He won¡­ again!'' These thoughts went through a lot of minds.


    ''He won against trainee #221!''


    ''He''s been here for how long again?''


    ''Just a week!'' These Pugilists were having a mental breakdown.


    [Trainee #1,021 has defeated Trainee #221!]


    [Do you want to continue and issue another challenge?]


    Legs took a deep breath. "Yes".


    A few secondster¡­


    [Trainee #189 has epted your challenge!]


    DING!


    The battle started.


    This time, it was a male Pugilist wielding a single sword.


    This Pugilist was the embodiment of ir and technique.


    He moved like a gale, his sword strikes were as graceful as the wind, he was a thorn on Legs'' side for 40 seconds but he could not injure him.


    Once Legs figured him out, he obliterated him in mere 15 seconds.


    [Trainee #1,021 has defeated Trainee #189!]


    [Do you want to continue and issue another challenge?]


    "Yes".


    A few secondster¡­


    [Trainee #77 has epted your challenge!]


    Another great leap, the spectators could not believe what they were seeing.


    They really underestimated this neer.


    Against trainee 77 and his huge long sword, Legs fought for an incredible 13 hours. In the end, he won by wearing his opponent out.


    His 2 Supreme Talents proved superior in the end to any Pugilist advantage.


    [Trainee #1,021 has defeated Trainee #77!]


    [Do you want to continue and issue another challenge?]


    Legs took a deep breath. "Yes".


    A few secondster¡­


    [Trainee #22 has epted your challenge!]


    Since the gap in power was even bigger at the higher ranks, and the disparity between the higher and lower ranks was as clear as day, a jump in the higher ranks indicated a ridiculous increase in difficulty but Legs still managed to jump high.


    Trainee #22 was one of the strongest Pugilists in this training.


    DING!


    The battle started and itsted an incredible 3 days!


    At the end of it, Legs was left bleeding from all his orifices.


    What mattered though was that he won.


    The spectators were no longer shocked, they were now numb.


    Only 1 thought now upied their minds. ''How far can he go?''


    [Trainee #1,021 has defeated Trainee #22!]


    [Do you want to continue and issue another challenge?]


    Legs took an even deeper breath. "Yes".


    A few secondster¡­


    [Trainee #15 has epted your challenge!]


    Top 20 trainees upwards were once in lifetime geniuses.


    And Legs'' opponent countered his greatest weakness, speed.


    He was thin for a Pugilist and wielded a pair of daggers with a python emblem; he had a frail physique and it almost seemed like he suffered from some deficiency but looks could deceive.


    He gave off no aura but no aura was more dangerous.


    Standing before him, Legs felt like he was standing before an immensely powerful ambush predator and once the battle started, he was proven right.


    DING!


    Whoosh!


    His speed exceeded every other opponent till now but unlike them, his induced no sonic boom, it was like he deleted sound from his surroundings.


    He arrived in an instant and his twin daggers stabbed 100 times in 1 second!


    Legs'' defense was obliterated, his heart was almost punctured!


    BOOM!


    Legs activated his body-gravity explosion and rapidly retreated but like a Python stalking its helpless prey, this frail Pugilist followed him like a ghost.


    And his daggers never seized attacking.


    Legs was receiving injuries every millisecond, and they umted into deadly injuries every second, his recovery speed simply couldn''t keep up.


    This frail Pugilist was deadly.


    Legs was pushed to the wall.


    He felt tense, all his instincts screamed danger to him every moment.


    More than once, he almost used his more advanced Summoner abilities out of reflex but it took his all to hold himself back, his life was truly threatened.


    Despite this though, Legs never gave up, he persevered in the danger.


    He tried to think but his opponent''s fast attacks disrupted his thoughts.


    His mind which was his greatest asset was neutralized at this moment.


    ''This f*cker!''


    ''I''ll kill you!''


    ''I''ll murder you!'' These were the only coherent thoughts that he could form.


    In the end, 30 minutes of relentless attackster, his life was now below 10% and this was when the feeling of death came closer than ever before.


    Legs was desperate and his desperation birth invention.


    He got an epiphany!


    Legs'' eyes widened. ''That''s it!''


    His brief thought opened him to a devastating attack that briefly prated his heart, Legs felt like he was dying as he curled up in defense.


    Despite curling up, the concept that he justprehended reyed in his mind. He meditated on it rapidly, and he understood and assimted it.


    Everything happened so fast, it was just a moment but, in this moment, he changed.


    When his eyes opened again, they no longer glowed red in exhaustion.


    They now glowed golden.


    It didn''t matter to the frail Pugilist though, with his twin daggers, he pounced on his opponent, this time he went for the head, his prey was close to death.


    The spectators focused.


    Time seemed to freeze¡­

    [Congrattions! You have unlocked a new King Final Form!]

    ----


    The twin daggers stabbed down, mere moments from hitting his brain.


    Yet, this was when he transformed.


    It happened instantaneously.


    Legs became a Void Monkey King!


    "ARGHHH¡­!"


    Growling, Legs'' grip on his Obsidian Spear became tighter even as his nature energy concentrated on its tip even as he stabbed with all his power.


    The frail Pugilist''s eyes narrowed but he doggedly continued his attack.


    Daggers stabbed down, spear stabbed up, then¡­


    BOOM¡­!!!


    The sh that followed was like a p of thunder¡­, and it ended.


    The Pugilist instructor intervened.


    All the spectators stood up. "Who won?"

 Chapter 569 Training [4]

    569 Training [4]


    All the spectators stood up.


    "Who won?" Some of them asked, desperate to know the winner.


    [Trainee #1,021 has defeated Trainee #15!]


    [Do you want to continue and issue another challenge?]


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­..!"


    Thisbat arena became as silent as a graveyard.


    Some spectators gasped in disbelief.


    Others shuddered in fear.


    Legs did not answer immediately to the prompts of thebat arena''s A.I like usual but no one paid attention to that, all the attention was on him.


    At this moment, he looked different, he was different.


    After fusing with all 4 of his beasts previously, entering his final form, Legs looked like a gigantic Hippopotamus Demon with an extremely intelligent brain.


    At this moment, he was no longer a Hippopotamus though.


    He was a Void Monkey King!


    Void Monkeys were brothers of the ruling Snow Monkeys, but instead of being rulers of primates in this dimension, Void Monkeys ruled over all the primates in the Void Dimension, they were the primate overlords there.


    At this moment, Legs was a Void Monkey with sparkling blue eyes.


    His eyes were calm, serene, they were filled with stability and confidence.


    Despite feeling the emotions of all the spectators at this moment, despite hearing the words of the A.I, he ignored them all and focused on what was before him, his spear and his victim.


    This time, his opponent was not knocked unconscious.


    The frail Pugilist looked at him with horror-filled eyes.


    At this moment, his spear was stuck inside the protective aura of the Pugilist instructor. This spear was aimed at his opponent''s heart, a few inches deeper and he would be dead, the protective aura narrowly saved him.


    Yes, narrowly, this was horrifying.


    The Pugilist instructor had a calm look on his face like usual but unknowingly to the spectators at this moment, he was also shocked.


    ''This monster!'' He secretly nced at him with shock-filled eyes.


    After seeing the aftermath, a slight smirk finally crept up Legs'' face as he closed his eyes the next moment before reying thest moments of the duel.


    With his eyes closed, everything yed before him again.


    During thosest moments after his health points became lower than 10%, he felt a death crisis that he had not felt in decades.


    He felt that any moment, he would die.


    This was not a feeling that any Super enjoyed, it was agonizing.


    They all trained to get power so their lives could no longer be at the whim of others, faced against that feeling again, Legs felt a feeling of frustration and desperation. These feelings were what pushed him over the edge.


    Under the pressure, he got an epiphany, he broke his limits.


    The Beast Merger- Final Form was one of the most important Cutting-Edge knowledge for a Summoner. Very few Grade B Summoners could unleash their final forms, and very few could make full use of the power of their final forms.


    Even fewer could go even further.


    Few Summoners, not even most Cmity Grades had ess to more than 1 final form, but today, Legs rose heads and shoulders above the average folk.


    Today, he set himself apart as a maverick.


    During the battle, while being battered by the frail Pugilist, he discovered his ws. His Cmity Path was an extremely powerful one, perhaps the strongest Cmity Path ever but it wasplicated, extremelyplicated.


    It was nowhere perfect.


    Legs trained because he wanted to rectify its ws to perfection.


    Today, he rectified one of its ws.


    In his final form while fighting with his Obsidian Spear using his Nature Connection self-created abilities, he was immensely powerful but his moves were not smooth, there was a sense of awkwardness in his movements.


    Yes, due to fusing 4 of his beasts with himself to achieve the final form, the Nightmare Hippopotamus had humanoid features that enabled him to wield a spear.


    Despite this though, wielding a spear in this form was awkward.


    The awkwardness meant that he could never achieve perfection with it.


    His attacks would always not be at their fullest potential.


    During that moment of death, pushed by the desperation, this w was amplified before his senses and his subconscious'' survival instincts pushed to their very limits to find a problem to him, this helped him break his limits.


    The oue was him creating an entirely new Final Form.


    A final form that was more in tune with his Cmity Path.


    Like the Primate Priest showed during the assassination of President Dominik, they were masters at wielding weapons.


    This was a final form that perfectlyplemented his Cmity Path and made him attack at his full power.


    was gotten from Bran be even stronger.


    21:07


    Not only his Nature Connection anymore, thick void energy charged into his body from the void As soon as he became a Void Monkey King, Legs felt his connection to the Void Dimension that was gotten from Bran be even stronger.


    Not only his Nature Connection anymore, thick void energy charged into his body from the void dimension and he directed it all to the tip of his spear.


    With so much power, when he stabbed upwards, death itself followed.


    This was no longer power at the Grade B realm.


    This was power at the Grade B+ realm.


    One attack was all it took.


    The frail Pugilist felt the danger but he detected it toote, before he could react, his twin daggers were already evaporated into pieces by the sheer energy.


    If it connected, the spear would have obliterated him to pieces.


    Literally bloody pieces would have been the remains left of him.


    The Pugilist instructor intervened¡­, Legs won again.


    The spectators were going crazy.


    They were not foolish, after so long, they could already tell that Legs was not a Pugilist and was actually a Summoner and this shocked them even more.


    Which Summoner has so much physical strength?


    Which Summoner is able to defeat so many powerful Pugilists with just the power of his body alone?


    This was ridiculous!


    This was crazy!


    This was unprecedented!


    Their respect for this maverick increased even more.


    The question came again. ''How far can he go?''


    ''Can he defeat the next opponent?!'' They were now hyped for it.


    [Do you want to continue and issue another challenge?]


    [You have 2 minutes to make your choice or its automatic forfeit!]


    "Yes". Legs finally answered.


    He took a deep breath. "I want to continue".


    Over a thousand breaths were held in the spectator stands.


    Yes, a few minutes ago, 90% of all the other Pugilists that were previously not here already made their way here after hearing of the unprecedented situation.


    They wanted to see this monster Summoner.


    Of the Pugilists present though, 3 pivotal ones were now present.


    Trainee #14, #13, and #12 were absent.


    "I ept your challenge". A deep voice reverberated.


    All eyes turned towards him.


    It was a bald middle-aged man with twin sabers strapped to his back.


    He had a huge sword scar that went across his face.


    He gave off the aura of a killer.


    [Trainee #11 has epted your challenge!]


    Legs grinned, not because of his previous victory but because even without fighting yet, he could already feel a mortal feeling of death approaching.


    He did not cower under this feeling though, he embraced it.


    ''If it was easy, everybody would do it!''


    DING!


    The duel started and it was explosive.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Yeah, like what most of the spectators expected, he did exceed their expectations yet again.


    Trainee #11 was stronger than trainee #15 by some mile yet, Legs did not sumb immediately, he fought this Pugilist for 5 straight hours.


    Unlike all his previous opponents, this bald Pugilist had no weaknesses.


    He was immensely powerful in all aspects of his Cmity Path.


    In the end though, despite how much he tried, a diagonal stab to the head from one of the Pugilist''s sabers ended Legs'' incredible run.


    Legs was finally defeated; his run came to an end.


    Again, the protective aura came close to being breached.


    Legs stood up from the ground and shook the dizzy feeling away, he stared at this bald Pugilist. "Good fight".


    "Good fight". The Pugilist replied coldly and shook hands with him.


    Then, they went their separate ways.


    It was over.


    ¡­


    30 minutester, Legs was ready.


    With his Obsidian Spear on his hand, he boarded a shuttle that was waiting for him outside his trainee tent as it instantly lifted out of this.


    After a full week and some days, his training in Rockfest was finally over.


    His training bore fruit.


    Not only did he reach the physical limit of his body for the Grade B realm, he created a bunch of battle techniques, also, he got a 2nd Final Form.


    This was more than worth it.


    As the shuttle left the''s atmosphere, inside a hidden tent in Rockfest, the Pugilist instructor that oversaw thest battle stood before an old man with white beard and hair.


    This was Rockfist, Rockfest''s keeper.


    He was one of the hidden Cmity Grade Supers of the Nak State.


    Like the hiddens and their resources, the hidden Cmity Grades were also another hidden trump card that kept the Beast Coalition at bay.


    This old man did not turn back, he kept on meditating but he spoke.


    "Tell me".


    The Pugilist instructor nodded respectfully.


    None of the Pugilist instructors were Cmity Grades, they were simply peak Grade B+ Supers, mostly previous trainees of Rockfest who could not fulfill their potential to be Cmity Grades and instead decided to stay here.


    The Pugilist instructor took a moment to organize his thoughts, then he spoke. "He is a monster".


    "He has boundless potential".


    The old man briefly opened his eyes. "That''s a first from you".


    "Yes, sir Rockfist, he''s the most talented Super that I''ve ever seen in my life".


    Now, he was interested. "Tell me more".


    The Pugilist instructor agreed. "When he just arrived here, he barely had the strength to fight some of the weaker trainees in thete 800s".


    "In just a week and some days, he defeated the trainee ranked #15".


    The old Pugilist became even more interested, he finally left his meditation entirely as he turned to face the instructor. "Tell me more".


    While this happened, Legs already left Rockfest.


    About an hourter, he arrived in Nak.


    He met President Dunk in his room with his back facing him, the President did not have to look to see how much he improved, he already received a report from the hidden keeper.


    He was immensely shocked the first time but he already got over it.


    President Dunk finally turned and looked into this Summoner''s eyes. "Do you want to rest and digest your gains first or you want to continue immediately?"


    "I will continue immediately". Legs said with conviction.


    "I don''t have time to rest".


    President Dunk nodded. "I expected that".


    "Your next training destination has already been decided".


    "You''ll be going to Gogunheim".

 Chapter 570 Planet Gogunheim

    570 Gogunheim


    Gogunheim¡­


    Compared to mosts that Legs was used to, this was a giant spherical ball of purplish blue that floated in space.


    It was one of the hiddens of Nak State.


    As for the reason why it was hidden, it was a research.


    Despite their incredible power already, the Nak State and Ackermann States still tried new ways to increase their powers.


    Some Summoners of these 2 States started up the research initiative to create beasts that could fight as soldiers for their respective armies.


    Over the years, normal beast armies were already created though neither of both states ever deemed it fit to use them yet. Their armies were more than powerful enough to fight their battles and were far more versatile.


    This was why researchs were created to create bigger beast armies.


    One of these special research hidden nts was Gogunheim.


    As for the special beasts that it experimented on, it was all warpsnares.


    Gogunheim was a haven for Warpsnares.


    Millions of them lived in this, and this was Legs''s destination.


    The shuttle stopped outside the, it could not go in and the reason was already exined to Legs, it was due to the myriad abilities of warpsnares.


    Warpsnares were one of the rarest beasts in all of Dominator.


    Starting as mere slimes, they were the weakest of beasts until they got the opportunity to use their power.


    At the early stages, they survive by shape-shifting to blend with their surroundings until they get the opportunity to use their ability-stealing talent.


    Every Warpsnare was different and unique.


    They had their own unique set of abilities.


    In Gogunheim, there were powerful Grade B Warpsnares that stole abilities that enabled them to be able to view all of Gogunheim always.


    If a spaceship, a metal vessel entered this that wasprised of a mud-filled forest, they would detect it and would immediately attack.


    The situation was different though if it was a tiny biological being.


    So long as Legs masked his power, they would ignore him.


    Over 50 years of growthter since leaving Darvis, despite the fact that like him, Warp Prime was never able to take thest step to the Cmity Grade, Warp Prime was able to be far stronger than ever before.


    Unlike his other contracted beasts, Warp Prime was a beast that was capable of growing stronger always by stealing the abilities of other beasts and races.


    50 years of mercenary work turned Warp Prime into a myriad master.


    He already had thousands of abilities; Legs could not remember them all.


    Standing at the edge of the shuttle, Legs looked down from space at the gigantic. As he looked, his goal chart flowed through his mind again.


    His decision to seek a like this came all due to a question.


    A question that he asked during his moment of epiphany.


    ''What if I take the Beast Combatant path to an even more extreme and try to have a base control level of 100% with every single one of my contracted beasts before ascending to the Cmity Grade?''


    He remembered another question of his. ''What if I can go even further?''


    ''What if somehow, I am able to get an ability that will enable me tomunicate telepathically with every single one of my tamed beasts?''


    Legs took a deep breath, he had no idea if he would be able to get a rare ability that would enable him tomunicate telepathically with every single one of his tamed beasts, it almost seemed too good to be true.


    What he was confident in though was getting his first goal.


    ''I believe Gogunheim can help me achieve 100% base control level with Warp Prime''. This was his greatest priority at the moment.


    He essed his game interface.

    After unlocking his new Final Form and getting a closer connection to the Void Dimension, his base control level with Bran increased by 5%.


    Legs turned to look at his delegates in the shuttle.


    There were 5 of them, 3 were elite Nak Grade B warriors.


    "I will be entering alone, I need no interference".


    They nodded.


    "If everything goes ording to n, in a week, I should be back".


    "We''ll be waiting sir".


    With a nod, Legs turned and jumped out of the spaceship.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Space Lord


    ----


    As soon as he deepened his connection to the Void Connection, a portal opened through which his contracted beast, the Void Raven flew out from.


    As soon as Bran came out, Legs integrated with it before flying away.


    As soon as he dove into Gogunheim''s atmosphere, he felt almost a dozen energy checks sweeping through his position. None of them became hostile though, they retreated back in boredom.


    Flying deeper into this, when he was close to the surface, he left Bran before summoning Warp Prime and fusing with him.


    Legs sent Bran back to the Void Dimension.


    Thud!


    When he finallynded, Legs was a half-human, half-Titan, and half-warpsnare. He had all that he needed to seamlessly fuse into this world.


    Legs'' reason foring here was simple.


    He simply came to observe hundreds of different warpsnares since everyone of them was different after growing up. He wanted to observe the essence of their power, their habits and personality, he wanted to understand their power.


    He also wanted to observe and understand their habitat.


    He theorized this method before starting his training. To him, this was his ticket to increasing his understanding with his contracted beast.


    Gogunheim was a huge with 60% water in forms of the oceans and seas, there were warpsnares that already adapted to live on sea.


    Most were amphibians, while the rest upied the remaining 40%nd.


    Land in Gogunheim was simply an endless mass of forest, tall trees, and mud. Literally no ce in this had solid ground.


    Legs was ready to get himself dirty to get his goal.


    Fused with Warp Prime, he started his journey to get his objective, walking deeper into this mud jungle to find his first warpsnare.


    It was going to be a busy and dirty week.

 Chapter 571 The concept of metamorphosis

    Chapter 571 The concept of metamorphosis


    One weekter¡­


    "Waaaa¡­!!!" Legs was assaulted with the pitiful cry of a baby.


    This did not stop him though.


    In the Dark Warg form after fusing with Warp Prime, this pitiful Warpsnare stood no chance before them as a second attack was all it took to end the life of this beast despite the myriad abilities that it had.


    The w strike tore its innards apart as ity lifelessly on the mud.

    >Cry of Pity: When activated while shouting or roaring, your roar will turn into the cry of the most pitiful of creatures, bing capable of inducing pity in the most stoic and cold of opponents. 30% chance of sess when activated<


    ----


    Another Warpsnare kill and Legs got 3 new abilities.


    This was the power of a Warpsnare and their ability-stealing innate ability.


    Over the course of one week, Legs spent a lot of hours observing the Warpsnares living here as he was able to learn a ton about their habitats, their habits and personalities, and how their powers worked.


    After a long period of observation, he started experiments.


    He decided to go on a killing spree.


    Before going on the killing spree, he simply decided to use the ability-steal on targets without killing them. This made him learn more about Warpsnares.


    When he used the ability without killing the target, the sess rate was less than 40% and when it worked, he could only get 1 ability per target.


    Also, after stealing from a target once, he could no longer steal an ability from that same target unless he went all the way and killed the target.


    Like he expected, there were limitations to every ability.


    This led him to starting his killing spree.


    Over the course of one week, he killed 1 Warpsnare after the other and already killed hundreds of them. Each Warpsnare kill while using the ability-steal gave him from 2 to 5 new abilities, this innate ability was simply insane.


    After over a week of hunting in this, he already got over a thousand different abilities just for Warp Prime.


    Fused with Warp Prime, his versatility was now on a whole other level.


    He had abilities to heal himself, he had abilities to recover his mana faster, he had abilities for literally everything though a lot of them were also useless.


    For example, he had an ability that could change his hair and skin color.


    It was simply useless.


    Despite the fact that he did not get any really OP ability, another thing that bothered Legs was his inability of being able to kill any of the Grade B Warpsnares, these guys were on a whole other level.


    After 50 years spent in gctic space, Legs was already an experienced Army Commander who had taken part in a hundred battles.


    He was a war veteran yet against these beasts, he struggled.


    They simply had too many f*cking abilities.


    The Grade B Warpsnares in this were those geniuses that rose above millions of their brothers, stealing abilities left and right to create their perfect selves that could not die to anything in their grade.


    During the past week, Legs already confronted 3 Grade B Warpsnares.


    He could kill none of them, they simply had no weaknesses.


    Apart from his failures and his sesses, one thing though was that despite the fact that his base control level with Warp Prime was yet to increase, he finally understood the power of the Warpsnares after a week of observation.


    He called it the concept of Metamorphosis.


    Metamorphosis was mostly detected in insects, and it was the process of transformation from an immature form to an adult form in two or more distinct stages, this was what Legs learned from his previous life.


    The concept of Metamorphosis in Warpsnares was crazier.


    Warpsnares reproduce asexually.


    Once a new Warpsnare was born, they were in their most immature form with no ability. The greatest struggle for any Warpsnare was surviving the first few hours of living because it was by far the most dangerous.


    By using their innate shape-shifting, they try desperately to blend with their surroundings and survive while hoping.


    Yes, they could only hope.


    If a strong predator found them, they would 100% die.


    They had no chances of resisting.


    But if a weak beast like an ant found them, they could simply move their huge slimy forms to engulf this beast and steal its ability.


    The first time in their lives, their ability steals always work.


    The ability that they steal the first time was a great determinant of what they will grow to be in the future. Warp Prime''s first target that he used his ability steal on was a Swamp Frog, it determined his growth route.


    After getting their first ability, they metamorphosize into the next stage.


    They be weak predators.


    Every hunt, if they so wish, they gain more abilities, changing and metamorphosizing more until they get their first mutation.


    They metamorphosize even further to get their first Warpsnare form.


    Warp Prime''s first Warpsnare form was the Swamp Frog form.


    After getting their first form, they be even stronger predators.


    They now have the power to steal even more abilities and mutate further.


    At this moment, Warp Prime already had 4 forms but after a week of observing thousands of Waprsnares, Legs could tell that Warp Prime was nowhere close to his peak and could mutate even further to get more forms.


    This drove him to the conclusion of the concept of Metamorphosis.


    Warpsnares have no end form.


    They are always evolving and growing stronger the more they live.


    They are always metamorphosizing.


    A Warpsnare that you fought against a decade ago, if you meet the same Warpsnare again, it may now bepletely unrecognizable from before.


    This was all due to their innate abilities, the concept of metamorphosis.


    And this was the reason why Legs could not defeat the Grade B Warpsnares.


    These monsters were all old and all had time to develop their powers in line with the concept of metamorphosis. Legs guessed that they had thousands if not tens of thousands of abilities in their repertoire.


    They had no weaknesses; they were jacks of all trades and masters of all.


    This was the reason why they were so immensely powerful.


    After a week of observing them, Legs felt that he was close to a breakthrough, perhaps one that would increase his base control level with Warp Prime but he also felt that something was holding him back.


    Something like¡­ not being able to kill a Grade B Warpsnare yet.


    This was why, today, after thest Grade C Warpsnare kill, he changed his target.


    ''It''s time to hunt one of these old geezers Warpsnares''.


    ''I need you toplete my training here''.

 Chapter 572 The Hunt!

    ?


    Hourster¡­


    The crimson glow of a red moon illuminated the world.


    It was night in Gogunheim.


    The night was still and silent.


    Outwardly, it seemed peaceful but unknown to the outside, a war actually raged in the night. The very perceptive could barely keep track of the slight rustling sounds every few seconds, that was another beast killed.


    The apex predators, the Warpsnares were master hunters in the dark.


    They feast on their prey in the night.


    They were the kings in the food chain but there were other beasts.


    Tons of other beasts that served as enough danger to stimte their growth.


    Amid the dark of the night, another beast prowled forward.


    It was a Warpsnare but it was also something else.


    It was Legs.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Stealth!


    ----


    Legs was as silent as the night as he moved forward.


    After making his decision to hunt one of the Grade B Warpsnares, he took the full day to fune the n that had been at the back of his mind since.


    Night was the perfect hunting time in Gogunheim for Warpsnares.


    This showed favorability for beasts with shadow and night affinities.


    They were at their best here and Warpsnares were mostly the same.


    At this moment, Legs moved towards his target, a lone tree that was in the middle of a thick forest. The tree was lone because it was absolutely gigantic, it dwarfed every other tree that was on this forest.


    This sacred tree was the home of one of the Grade B Warpsnares.


    Legs called her the Demoness Warpsnare.


    He discovered her 3 days ago and without hesitation engaged her in battle. He was not defeated miserably but he barely stood any chance at killing her, in the end, he had no choice but to retreat having not achieved his goal.


    This night was different though.


    This night, Legs was prepared.


    ¡­


    Rustle! Rustle!


    The sound of the wind blowing left a whistling aftertaste sound as the leaves of the trees danced to the rhythm of the wind.


    The sacred tree stood as tall as usual.


    No beast could be seen on it or around it which was unusual, all these was due to the invisible beast that took it''s branches as its home.


    A kilometer away from this tree, Legs'' eyes became totally focused and he did the thing.

    The expansion of energy was silent and undetectable.


    Warp Prime''s first Swamp Frog form was perfect for Gogunheim, this form was literally made for this. In a swampy environment, it was at its best.


    And just 2 days ago, Legs stole this new ability, radar expansion.


    It enabled him to see enemies that were invisible to the naked eye and were hiding through different means, it was also what enabled him to finally see the Grade B Warpsnare''s base form and was why he named her Demoness.


    Bzzz!


    Through his new vision, he saw her, a gigantic python.


    She was over 300 meters long.


    Her scales were a sparkling gold, and mixed with her natural skin, she exuded danger. At this moment, she was curled around this gigantic sacred tree.


    Her head had a sparkling silver crown that contrasted her gold scales.


    And at this moment, in her state of invisibility, she was watching the surrounding kilometers from up high like a demon queen watching her territory.


    She was a snake but she was absolutely gorgeous.


    Her crown made her look like a queen of beautiful death.


    It was why Legs called her the Demoness Warpsnare, and now, he was finally ready to end this Demoness''s life after extensive ns.


    He did not hesitate.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Spear Toss!


    ----


    BAM!


    The spear tore through the air with force.


    "HISS¡­!!!"


    The gigantic Python hissed instantly as the spear alone made her recognize who this enemy was, having failed to kill him once, she hissed in anger.


    Then, the crown on her head briefly glowed silver.


    CRACK!


    The spear rapidly froze before shattering into countless ice pieces.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Earthquake Stomp!


    ----


    The huge Frog stomped on the ground as a mighty shockwave spread into the earth, a region across kilometers instantly started shaking as a massive earthquake was induced.


    The sacred tree also started shaking, the Python was even more annoyed.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Swamp Control!


    You have activated active ability: Double-Speared Frog!


    ----


    Legs finally moved from his starting point.


    BOOM!


    "Hisss¡­!!!"


    While the Python was still hissing angrily, looking for the opponent, the swamp from the surrounding instantly rose as if they had a will of their own as they started hugging the tree including the Python.


    With so much mud, her form in the tree was finally exposed.


    Her invisibility was neutralized.


    Before she could react in even more anger, he arrived.


    DING! DING!


    Both spears stabbed against this Python and only sparks were seen as the thick scales easily repelled the attack.


    Legs did not panic though; this was within his expectations.


    He already had a total outline for this hunt and he intended to follow it.


    His eyes gleamed as he saw her finally raise her head.


    This was it!

    You have activated Self-Created Technique: Nature Connection!


    ----


    Grabbing the Obsidian Spear that suddenly appeared among the regr spears with his right hand, Legs struck forward with all his power.


    The air shook with power as the spear cut through it.


    The neutral mana in the air responded with his movements.


    Seeing this, the scales on this Python''s body finally stood on end, she felt danger for the first time since she faced this strange Warpsnare some time ago.


    She reacted by trying to retreat with her head but it was already toote.


    BAM!


    The pitch-ck Spear struck against her crown.


    CRACK!


    The crown shattered!


    "¡­!"


    For a moment, time seemed to freeze.


    The crown, the pride of the Demoness Warpsnare was just shattered!


    This was the gravest of sins!


    In an instant, Legs turned around as his control over the rampaging mud in the surroundings buried him. He was already escaping!


    He dared not hesitate because he knew what would follow.


    "¡­!" Silence reigned for half a second, then¡­


    "HISSSS¡­!!!"


    This Ice Python exploded in rage.


    Her hiss reverberated like the loud st of a horn.


    Other warpsnares cowered in their caves, they knew that a bigshot was just angered and the next moment, this forest seemed to turn into a wastnd.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    She finally unleashed her power as ice flooded everywhere with the force of an avnche, turning this originally lush forest into an arctic domain.


    Trees were frozen, innocent Warpsnares were frozen, but he still survive¡­


    "HISS¡­!" She was angry, and she went in pursuit.


    WHOOSH!


    She slithered through the new arctic domain at a ridiculous speed.


    With anger, she bulldozed her way through the ice, following her instincts to locate the general direction in which she detected this offender.


    While all this happened, Legs was calm.


    "Step 1, tauntpleted sessful!"


    "Step 2¡­" His eyes narrowed. "Containment!"


    Legs suddenly dived through a hole into the ground.


    BOOOMMMM!


    Without hesitation, the Python dived after him.


    Well, this was her end.


    As soon as she dived inside this gigantic hole that was made under the ground, she detected that something was wrong but it was already toote.

    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    "Step 3, dominate!"


    "Step 4, divide and conquer!"


    "Step 5, kill!"


    Legs kickstarted the remaining 3 parts of his n at once.


    The Demoness Warpsnare''s greatest strength was her myriad abilities and her many Warpsnare forms. Legs'' estimate was that she had at least a thousand abilities and at least 10 forms.


    The key to killing her was dominating her and preventing her from attacking at her full strength, and this was why he created his own battlefield.


    In this cave, her freedom of movement was restricted.


    The power of most of her forms were neutralized.


    The next thing of course was him fusing with all 4 of his contracted beasts. In the final Void Monkey form, Legs bullied this beast with his Obsidian Spear.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Just a minute in and she was already bleeding on all orifices.


    The power difference between them was wide, he was far more powerful than this Warpsnare, her only advantage was her versatility and it showed.


    The next moment, she transformed.


    BZZZ!


    She turned into a gigantic Stone Porcupine.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    This cave started crumbling as sheunched her spiky projectiles everywhere, turning this cave into a prospective wastnd in an instant.


    Despite her rampage, Legs continued dominating her with his final form, keeping her trapped under here even as he chipped away at her health points.


    2 minutes of intense battleter, her health went below 10%.


    This was despite all her healing and health recovery abilities.


    This Warpsnare became desperate.


    She went berserk.


    "Undeath!" She spoke!


    "Telepathy!" She roared.


    "Compulsion!"


    "Telekinesis!"


    "Talo¡­!"


    BAM!


    Her words were interrupted by a spear stab but she already spoke those.


    The next moment, Gogunheim seemed to respond to her words.


    BZZZ!


    A green portal opened the next moment through which undead Warpsnares started charging out from, Warpsnares that she had killed before now.


    -----


    WARNING! You have been affected by Telepathy!


    WARNING! You have been affected by Compulsion!


    Calcting Intelligence¡­, please wait¡­


    Calctionplete!


    You are immune to abilities!


    ----


    Legs was immune to them but the other beasts were not.


    Thousands of beasts and Warpsnares started charging out of the arctic domain the next moment, as they all converged on this cave to save the Demoness.


    Legs was prepared though; his tamed beasts were on the ready.


    Led by the Demon Asura, Azrael, they kept the beasts and undead beasts at bay. This gave Legs all the time that he needed to pummel this beast.


    It took 3 more minutes of intense battle though.


    "Nature Connection!"


    And Legs stabbed his Obsidian Spear onest time.


    BOOM!


    Her head finally exploded.


    The Demoness Warpsnare¡­ was dead.


    Silence instantly descended on this arctic wastnd.


    In the silence, Legs closed his eyes, his lips quivered in excitement. ''Epiphany!''


    He finally did it, he broke his limits like he expected.


    His understanding of Warpsnares increased to an unprecedented level.


    He could also feel his power increasing.


    This was when his game interface notifications finally came.

    ----


    Silence reigned.


    A wastnd of an arctic domain spread everywhere.


    Only a single gigantic organism and his tamed beasts stood living at the center of this domain.


    A Swamp From that had slight features of a human.


    Standing on all fours inside the cave that already crumbled apart, Legs observed everything. The destruction that was just wrath, the corpse of the gigantic Stone Porcupine, the Demoness Warpsnare.


    He also looked at the gigantic arctic domain that was formed from their battle, he felt strange at this moment.


    He felt in the zone state.


    He closed his eyes as his lips quivered in excitement. ''Epiphany!''


    In the silence, everything reyed in his head.


    The battle.


    ''Step 1, taunt''.


    ''Step 2, containment''.


    ''Step 3, dominate!''


    ''Step 4, divide and conquer!''


    ''Step 5, kill!''


    It seemed very easy but it was not.


    The Demoness Warpsnare was by some margin the most dangerous beast that he had ever fought against, excluding the Beast Priests of course.


    Every single step in his hunt n was crucial and very important.


    Missing one of them would have nuked his victory chances.


    The Demoness Warpsnare ording to his estimates was a powerful Warpsnare that had potentially 10 forms!


    Not just that, she potentially had over a thousand abilities!


    This was ridiculous figures.


    Besides, having seen the abilities that he stole sessfully after her death, he confirmed it, this beast''s abilities were absolutely bonkers.


    Again, he won this battle due to his brain.


    From the very beginning, the Demoness Warpsnare underestimated him due to theirst battle and he used this against this veteran beast.


    Step 1 in his n was taunt.


    This worked only because the beast was already looking down on him, and it was what set the stage for every other step of his n.


    Of course, he had contingency ns in ce if this didn''t work but this was the most fullproof and most efficient of all the ns that he came up with.


    Step 2 was containment, he needed it to limit her power.


    He was not sure but there was every chance that among her thousand abilities, she probably had an ability to create doppelgangers.


    She could probably create doppelgangers to replicate her other forms.


    If this Warpsnare attacked him with all 10 of her forms, Legs doubted if he would have been able to kill her though he would have escaped.


    Containment was to pull her out of herfort zone, prepare her for what was toe in the form of Step 3 which was to dominate the beast.


    As soon as all his contracted beasts came and he fused with them, creating his Void Monkey final form, Legs'' power experienced a crazy surge and the scales of the battle tilted rapidly.


    In his final form, he was able to dominate this beast.


    He dealt so much damage every second that the Warpsnare became confused, she was panicked, this was the very reason for the dominate step.


    Having a thousand different abilities was amazing, but not so amazing when you are in a tight situation that you''re so confused you can''t siphon through all the abilities to decide on which one to use.


    Afterall, the Warpsnare was no human.


    She may have intelligence but not on the level of a human.


    In her panic, the Warpsnare forgot to use her myriad abilities.


    Her greatest strength, her myriad abilities and forms was neutralized with this, enabling Legs to dominate her for long and drain her health.


    When her health points finally went below 10% though, she went haywire.


    In a panic, she randomly activated abilities.


    Despite being in a moment of panic, she was still able to activate abilities that made the situation dire for Legs.


    This was when Step 4 came in, divide and conquer.


    Summoning his tamed beasts, he ordered all of them to keep the support of the Demoness Warpsnare at bay until he was done with his job.


    They did just that, fighting a bloody battle against the undead Warpsnares and beasts that werepelled by the Warpsnare to fight on her behalf.


    Time for Step 5 finally came, kill!


    Legs did not hesitate; he did a clean job.


    This was how the Demoness Warpsnare died.


    Perhaps, it was the experience points or the new abilities that he got, or perhaps even the feeling of fulfillment of killing this beast but at this moment, Legs felt in a special state of epiphany as everything became clearer to him.


    The concept of metamorphosis became even clearer to him.


    His understanding of Warpsnares was experiencing an evolution.


    Not just that, his new abilities.


    ''I never expected to get 7 new abilities with this''.


    ''Flight, Hardened Pheromones¡­, she never got to use any of this, the Hardened Body would have especially made this battle even bloodier''.


    ''The Shademark also confirms how she was able to follow me for so long for days despite me using every means possible to evade her''.


    He sighed in relief. ''I''m lucky she didn''t get to unleash her full power''.


    ''With the Shademark, I would have been at an even bigger disadvantage''.


    Then his attention finally fell on the others. ''Compulsion¡­, this would be a great addition to my already amazing Cmity Path''.


    ''It would give a new edge to my Summoner abilities''.


    ''This can even help me develop more on the Shepherd Path and integrate it into my Cmity Path''. Ambition raged in his brain.


    He took a deep breath. ''Then the Telekinesis''.


    He quivered in excitement. ''This grants mybat power a whole new dimension and alternative,ing to Gogunheim was the best decision afterall''. He felt hyped.


    ''And the Partial Telepathy¡­'' This gave him the most goosebumps.


    Not because of its impressive usage, but of its repercussions. ''What if there is a way for me to upgrade this ability in the future?''


    ''Will I be able to upgrade it to full-fledged Telepathy?''


    ''At that stage, will I be able tomunicate telepathically with every single tamed beast under me then?'' He shuddered at the mere imagination of it.


    As he thought of all these, the feelings of euphoria that he felt from them all converged as his body suddenly seemed to have broken a limit.


    His game interface reacted and lit up again.

    [Congrattions! You have improved in your Cmity Path!]

    ----


    Standing in this arctic domain as a chilly wind blew, even as only his tamed beasts stood around him, looking at the aftermath of their rampage, a smile crept up Legs'' face.


    He grinned. ''I did it!''

 Chapter 574 Grade B+ Demi-God Summoner

    ?


    "He did it!"


    "Huh?" He paused, raising his head from the book.


    President Dunk inclined his head to look at his personal assistant, it was rare for her to sound this excited. "What?"


    "Legs did it". She repeated.


    "Legs?"


    "Yes, he''s now a Grade B+ Demi-God Summoner!"


    President Dunk''s eyes widened; he finally understood the reason for her excitement as he stood up and turned his back to her.


    "Phew!" He released a breath that he never knew he had been holding since.


    "He did it". He whispered to himself, feelingplicated.


    Picking up the book that he was previously reading through, he ced it up as mechanical tentacles appeared out of the air, holding it in ce.


    A single scanter, a virtual projection appeared in the air projecting the contents of the book.


    President Dunk sighed as he looked at it.


    There were lots of notes in the book but the most eye-catching things were the diagrams of strange spherical objects.


    There were over a hundred spherical objects projected and they were mostly of green colors but of this hundred, at this moment, 8 were painted red and were blinking ominously, while 3 were pitch-ck.


    The President''s assistant remained quiet as he looked at this.


    For the past few days, he kept on looking at it.


    Kronic Beam Ring, a victim¡­" He muttered.


    Cloudy Gaze, lost¡­, imploded". He muttered softly.


    Tierney Fingers, devoid of life".


    He looked at the virtual projection again.  Whimsical Roulette, lost".


    Tickenadon¡­"


    Gigatumiden¡­"


    He paused, no longer muttering as everything reyed in his head.


    Almost every other day, new news came to him.


    Not news of victory, but of losses.


    Losses upon losses, deaths,s now devoid of life.


    Since the advent of the Beast Coalition and their first public appearance, the situation in the Nak State had kept on spiraling from bad to worse.


    Mores were attacked, the Beast Coalition made more ridiculous demands, and even more beasts rampaged across the Nak territories.


    Every single day, the situation of the state kept on spiraling downward.


    At some point, their temporary allies, the Ackermann State already made the suggestion to go all out and unleash their hidden weapons but President Dunk resisted it, unleashing their hidden weapons meant all-out war.


    Till now, President Dunk believed that an external party supported the Beast Coalition which was the only possible exnation for their rapid rise.


    It was the only way they could go under their radar while building power for so long, anything else was just not logical.


    He held his allies back from doing anything rash because of one person.


    The Summoner, Army Commander Legs.


    "He''s now be a Grade B+ Summoner huh?" He muttered.


    "That''s a week early".


    "Is he now ready to direct the mission?"


    ¡­


    It was still night, Gogunheim was still mostly silent but dangerous as cannibalism continued in the forest but a new variable was around again.


    At this moment, in another region of this forest, a swamp with tall trees, a figure of a Swamp Frog with humanoid features levitated in the air.


    His flight was smooth and effortless.


    There were no aggressive mana fluctuations, it seemed natural.


    In this part of the forest, there were some infamous beasts called the Vanishing Snakes. These ambush hunters had a rare talent for stealth and staying hidden, they were some of the only beasts that could kill Warpsnares here.


    At this moment, this Swamp Frog hunted for a Vanishing Snake.


    He had been levitating motionlessly in the air for 15 minutes.


    At the 17th minute, one appeared.


    The tree leaf barely shook and his eyes darted there.


    -----


    You have activated special ability: Shademark!


    ----


    The hidden beast suddenly paused, having detected something as his presence fadedpletely yet the Swamp Frog kept on levitating silently.


    About 5 minutester, the beast moved again.


    This time, there were no fluctuations in the forest, Legs knew only because of the mark that he already left on the body of this beast.


    -----


    You have activated special ability: Compulsion!


    Calcting Intelligence¡­, please wait¡­


    Calctionplete!


    You havepulsed beast: Dark-Wing Eagle!


    ----


    The Vanishing Snake never noticed it but as it moved around the forest, looking for prey to kill, a bunch of predators were already stalking it.


    A Dark-Wing Eagle followed it from the skies.


    2 Dark Wargs followed him from the ground, including a Stone Porcupine even as they all kept a respectable distance to keep him oblivious to it.


    As for the number one culprit of this all, he remained levitating in the skies.


    As more time passed, he started noticing changes in the Vanishing Snake.


    This beast started feeling on edge, that feeling of being stalked started seeping in, it became anxious yet despite all these, it never left a trace in the forest.


    Legs was impressed. ''Truly deserving of its name''.


    He still continued his experiment though.


    -----


    You have activated special ability: Partial Telepathy!


    ----


    Instantly after he activated this ability, Legs started hearing voices.


    ''Kill!'' ''Kill!'' ''Kill!''


    ''Enemy!'' ''Enemy!'' ''Enemy!''


    ''Killer!'' ''Killer!''


    ''Hungry!''


    ''Food!'' ''Food!''


    ''Enemy!''


    There were barely coherent thoughts.


    This was more than enough proof that despite being Grade B beasts already and despite the fact that this specific Vanishing Snake was a Grade B+ beast, it was yet to gain real sentience, it was just more clever than its mates.


    To really read the thoughts and understand the intentions of this beast, he had to focus some more to sieve through the chaotic thought patterns.


    Legs took some time but he managed to finally grasp it.


    Clearly, this Vanishing Snake already noticed that something was wrong, it was currently trying to deduce the problem. The only reason why it kept on going was because it had total confidence in its invisibility and stealth.


    ''Impressive''. Legs was amazed.


    That was all that he needed, he finally had a good grasp over the new abilities that he stole and he was absolutely satisfied with them, he no longer hesitated.


    Dipping his body in the air, he dove down.


    20% of his mana was sucked at once and he briefly broke the sound barrier!


    BOOM!


    The Vanishing Snake was shocked.


    This enemy elerated too fast for it to even think.


    It was doomed!


    -----


    You have activated special ability: Telekinesis!


    ----


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Even before Legs could arrive physically, he already started attacking.


    Literal full trees were pulled out of the ground as they iled in the air under Legs'' basic control, causing a rampage across this forest.


    Every second using telekinesis, Legs felt a drain in his mental power.


    This was the price to pay for telekinesis.


    He didn''t just blindly control things though, he did more than that. In just 2 seconds since he started controlling them, he gained more familiarity as he tore the trees apart with his mental power, forming shrapnels from them.


    He hurled these deadly weapons at the Vanishing Snake who hissed in pain.


    This beast was injured in no time, yet, it still got no time to think nor react.


    Legs was already here to end its life.


    He was here with a Spear, one of the Swamp Frog''s trademarks.


    -----


    You have activated special ability: Spear Toss!


    ----


    The Vanishing Snake stood no chance.


    BAM!


    It died instantly.


    Legs looked at the spear, then at his hand. "So this is what it feels like to be a Grade B+ Summoner¡­, I feel so powerful".


    An hourter, Legs regrouped with his crew and left Gogunheim.


    His training here was over.


    ¡­


    A few hourster, Nak¡­


    Inside the Presidential Vi of Nak State, at this moment, Legs was standing before President Dunk again.


    The President turned to face him. "Congrattions on bing a Grade B+ Demi-God Summoner, your growth speed has exceeded my expectations".


    Legs smiled. "Thanks Mr. President".


    "So, are you now ready tomence the mission?"


    Legs looked at the President. "I still have one week".


    The President was confused. "What?"


    "I still have one week from the stipted time". Legs repeated.


    "You agreed to give me one month to train and improve on myself, the goal is to make myself powerful enough to survive the difficulty of the mission".


    "Allow me to continue my training time and be at the strongest state possible".


    President Dunk was silent for some time, then he nodded. "Reasonable".


    Then he asked. "What is the next focus of your training?"


    Legs took a deep breath. "My bloodline".

 Chapter 575 Space Pocket; Planet Gorr

    ?


    "2,000 years ago, the Titans and the World Controllers were the twin rulers of the Minerva Star System before the rise of the Nak and Ackermann States".


    "Their unquenchable infighting was what gave us the opportunity to rise".


    "During their peak, both Empires each had a Beyond Grade A Ancestor with dozens of Cmity Grades".


    "During the decades infamously known as the 3 decades of fire and blood, both Empires fought a war to the death which marked their end".


    "Their fall served as a lesson for us".


    "It is one of the reasons why we never engaged in a war to the death against the Ackermann State, we could not fall foolishly to the same mistake that heralded the end of our predecessors".


    "The World Controller and Titan Empires became extinct".


    "The Titan Emperor fought a death battle with his arch rival and died".


    "But with hisst breath, he activated 2 special abilities. The first special ability enabled him to seal the Telekinesis Emperor in time".


    "The 2nd special ability enabled him to create a space pocket".


    "Titans are innately talented with affinities for the more rarer energy manifestations of mana, but the Titan Emperor was an immensely talented prodigy that had an unprecedented affinity for both space and time energies".


    "With the first ability, he paid with his life and brought the reign of the Telekinesis Emperor to an end while with the second ability, he preserved a relic for his race".


    "Inside this space pocket is rumored to be some of the greatest inheritances that were left behind by the Titan Emperor himself and some of his subjects".


    "Many believe that the space pocket is nothing but a rumor after so many years but¡­, it is one of the many hidden treasures of the Nak State".


    "We discovered it 863 years ago".


    "It is a-sized space pocket, courtesy of the spatial powers of the Titan Emperor, over time we grew to call it Gorr".


    Gorr¡­, that shall be your next training".


    President Dunk looked at Legs onest time. "One warning though, Gorr is not like the other hiddens of my Nak State".


    He took a deep breath.  Gorr is an untamed".


    ¡­


    10 hourster¡­


    A lone Spaceship ventured deeper into the unexplored regions of space at the edges of the Minerva Star System.


    The Emerald Chaos Star Field being the weakest Star Field under the rule of the 3 Universal Civilizations was at the edge of the discovered universe, and at the edge of the Emerald Chaos Star Field was the Gundogan Star Cluster.


    The Minerva Star System was one of the few Star Systems close to the very edge of the universe, it was one of the reasons that aided the stealthy rise of the Beast Coalition since they could make their preparations in unexplored space.


    At this moment, this lone Spaceship was in unexplored space.


    This region was filled with randomly floating asteroids and space debris, it was far away from civilized space under the rule of the Nak State.


    This was where the Space Pocket of the Titan Emperor was located.


    After 10 hours of traveling through warp travel, this lone Spaceship finally came out as it beheld a region of space filled with interconnected asteroids.


    Almost 50 gigantic asteroids came together in this region of space, forming irregr patterns in space that came together to form a diamond shape.


    The middle of this diamond shape in space was inactive at this moment, but ording to President Dunk, this was the eye of the needle.


    This was the entrance to the Space Pocket of the Titan Emperor.


    Inside the lone Spaceship, at this moment, Legs was gearing up.


    He remembered thest words of President Dunk.  Gorr is an incredibly rare space pocket that was also created with the powers of time".


    "Time inside is incredibly slow due to the powers of the Titan Emperor".


    "A day outside is 10 days inside the Space Pocket".


    "Due to this distortion, space and time is always unstable inside it. Only Cmity Grade bodies can survive the powers of distortion, for a Grade B Super to survive inside, we created special vests to aid them".


    "You shall take one of them with you".


    Silence reigned in the Spaceship.


    The crew of this Spaceship had been following Legs for a long time. They started following him all the way from 3 months ago, ferrying him to the 2 differents where he already trained before now.


    They watched as his power grew each time and over time, they already developed a bond with him.


    At this moment, they all looked solemn. This was because Gorr was unlike any of the other trainings that their patron had gone to previously.


    This time, Legs'' life could really be in danger but they didn''t stop him.


    In these 3 months, they had learned a lot about Legs'' personality.


    His goal to get power was an extremely ambitious one.


    He wanted to create the strongest Cmity Path ever, and to achieve this goal, he was ready to do anything no matter how dangerous it was.


    In no time, Legs was done with his gear.


    "Goodluck". The Captain of the spaceship said only this, speaking for the rest of the crew as they looked at him.


    Legs turned to look at them onest time. "I will see you in a week".


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration!


    You have fused with Bran!


    You have activated active ability: Space Lord!


    ----


    Legs jumped from the spaceship and floated off into the distance.


    Under the gaze of the spaceship and its crew, Legs flew closer before entering the middle of the diamond formation of asteroids and there was a reaction immediately.


    BZZZ!


    A strange brown energy appeared the next moment followed by silvery spatial energy; it was like a strange variant of a spatial storm just started.


    This powerful energycerated everything that was stuck in its middle.


    Cutting sounds reverberated but the vest held against the spatial des.


    It was specially made for this and at this moment, this vest enabled Legs to feel like a fish in a pond, he felt in his element.


    This was just against the spatial powers though.


    As for the temporal powers¡­


    "Ugh¡­" Legs felt sick inside his vest.


    He could feel a strong urge to throw up inside his vest, he felt weak, his bones shook like he just became an old man, it took his everything just to persevere this.


    While this happened, a golden portal appeared at the very center of the diamond formation of asteroids.


    This was the test of the Titan Emperor.


    Only the truly worthy Titans could ess his inheritance.


    Another thing was, if Legs didn''t have Titan powers, no matter how powerful he was unless he was a Beyond Grade A Super, he would have died by now after being assaulted by a full powered attack from the Titan Emperor.


    The Nak State sacrificed 3 Cmity Grades to learn this bitter truth.


    "Now is yourst chance to give up and retreat!"


    Legs heard the loud sound that came off the lone spaceship, he gritted his teeth as his eyes gleamed with determination inside the vest.


    Digging into his reserves, he flew deeper into the diamond formation of asteroids, it was almost as if he was going through a heavenly tribtion.


    15 minutester when his mana reserves were already below 20%, Legs finally got to the middle of the diamond formation of asteroids.


    He looked onest time at the Nak spaceship. ''It''s now or never¡­''


    He jumped in.


    BZZZ!


    The golden portal briefly erupted with bright light, then it disappeared.


    The next moment, everything went back to normal, including the diamond formation of asteroids like a special phenomenon didn''t happen just now.


    Silence came back and, in this silence, the lone spaceship waited.


    They would be waiting hopefully for a week.


    ¡­


    BZZZ!


    Legs blinked his eyes open to see another world.


    He looked around in curiosity and alertness.


    He blinked his eyes again and rubbed it. "This is Gorr?"


    One thing President Dunk was adamant in was that information about Gorr was kept confidential, even him as the President did not know about it since he was yet to make a trip into this pocket space.


    This was why Legs wasing in here blind.


    Due to the name that was very simr to gore, Legs expected to see a volcano fire that looked very simr to hell and slightly expected to see a filled with blood and the skull of a thousand dead bodies.


    He never expected to see¡­, well, this paradise?


    Yes, Gorr looked like a paradise.


    It almost looked like a well-groomed garden; his energy check spread everywhere rampantly. There were beautiful and colorful flowers everywhere, including beautiful green trees that painted a picture of paradise.


    The sky was a clear blue and butterflies could be seen flying in the sky, he could hear singing birds though he could not see them, it was a perfect painting.


    Then the first living organism came within the range of his energy check.


    It was a Crane, an extremely beautiful one.


    This bird floated majestically in the skies.


    Her white and blue feathers gleamed under the glow of the sun, and her golden crown left a gleam of royalty in its afterglow.


    This Crane kept on circling around the sky until¡­


    "Why does it keep circling round me?" He was perplexed.


    Then, he was rmed.


    "Why does this feel so simr?" He felt a feeling of d¨¦j¨¤ vu.


    "Why does this seem so simr to the scene when a predator hawk is stalking and observing its prey from up above? But this Crane seems harmless¡­" He paused, then his eyes widened in shock.


    BOOM!


    This Crane just broke the freaking sound barrier!


    As it shot down with immense speed, its beak suddenly opened and from inside, a bright red energy started gathering like aser.


    BAM!


    "Holy Sh*t!!!"

 Chapter 576 Ancient World; Dangerous Planet

    ?


    BAM!


    "Holy Sh*t!"


    "F*ck!"

    ----


    Whoosh!


    The bright redser advanced from the Crane''s beak with immense speed yet Legs was fast enough to react as he executed a back flip, barely dodging the initial attack even as the Crane finally got to his position.


    The speed enough to break the sound barrier was no flimsy feat.


    As soon as it arrived, the Crane spread its massive wings.


    Everything was happening so fast, Legs barely paid attention.


    As soon as the Crane spread its wings, he saw a green energy like a cyclone start gathering under them. He barely saw them when they sted out.


    BOOM!


    Legs was violently thrown backwards.


    It was while he violently flew backwards that his energy check detected it, another powerful energy was now gathering behind him.


    It was toote to react.


    The long beak of the Marabou Stork stabbed into his back.


    BAM!


    Blood sprouted like a waterfall of red as he gasped for breath and life.


    But¡­ Legs suddenly disappeared, just like that.

    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration!


    You have fused with Warp Prime!


    You have activated active ability: Swamp Affinity- Radar Expansion!


    You have activated active ability: Doppelganger Substitution!


    ----


    The time was too little for Legs to think properly and carve out a n but thankfully, his brain was still alert after the past few months of rigorous training.


    Having fought countless Pugilist geniuses in Rockfest, honing his physicalbat skills and further training even more vigorously in Gogunheim, training hisbat instincts, he was in his best state physically.


    It was the instincts that he trained during this time that helped him.


    Legs did not think, he just activated them.


    As soon as he felt the danger from his back, he knew that there were more opponents and the act of the Crane circling him was preparing the ambush.


    This was why his instincts directed him on the best possible reaction.


    The first thing that he did was to summon Warp Prime.


    Fused with one of his beasts, even if he was not able to dodge the attack and it hit, so long it was not a Cmity Grade beast, he would definitely survive.


    Another reason why he decided to fuse with Warp Prime and not any of his other beasts was because of his myriad abilities, precisely at this moment the Radar Expansion that he used to scout the surrounding battlefield.


    One scan was all it took for him to determine all his opponents.


    5 terrifying beasts¡­, all Grade B Beasts.


    The Crane seemed to be their leader, and apart from the Marabou Stork, there was a proud beautiful Peacock, a Stone Porcupine, and an absolutely gigantic strange dinosaur.


    The Crane may seem like the leader since it led this ambush, but the strange dinosaur was by far the strongest, Legs felt genuine danger from this beast despite the fact that it was not yet a Grade B+ beast.


    ''Dinosaur¡­?!'' He was perplexed but he had no time to think.


    The Stork was already close to stabbing him with its long beak.


    As for the Peacock, having spread its beautiful wings, this beautiful predator already formed a shield of rainbow colors that imprisoned him inside here.


    Legs had nowhere to run to but he at least tried.


    The Stork stabbed the target, but it was only a doppelganger.


    Bzzz!


    Legs appeared beside the Peacock the next moment.


    The beasts were startled, they clearly did not expect it.


    -----

    You have connected to contracted beast: Bran!


    ¡­


    You have activated active ability: Eyes of Truth!


    You have activated active ability: Spear Toss!


    ----


    Instantly, Legs felt his connection with Bran be stronger and he reacted, focusing his eyes as he used the Eyes of Truth ability.


    One look was all it took for him to get the weakness of the Peacock.


    This Peacock was clearly not like the normal ones since it had scales all over its blue neck, but by spreading its beautiful wings, puffing proudly, gaps emerged between the scales across her neck very close to her head.


    That was all that Legs needed.


    The spear already appeared in his hand, and he tossed it without hesitation.


    BAM!


    "Screech¡­!" The Peacock shrieked in pain the next moment as it fell down.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    This was when the Porcupine finally attacked.


    Extremely sharp projectiles wereunched at him but Legs was ready.


    Channeling energy through his connection with Ak, wind whirled around him as his speed and agility increased exponentially.


    He weaved through all the projectile attacks even as he grabbed a weapon from his inventory. He stabbed the mes of ndel through the open wound on the Peacock''s neck as fire erupted from within, ending this Peacock''s life.


    Their friend just died; the ambush predators were stunned.


    Being stunned brought hesitation.


    That moment of hesitation was all that Legs needed.


    He brought out his Obsidian Spear, aimed and threw it with immense power.


    BOOM!


    The Porcupine tried to defend itself as it curled up but the Spear was fast, it tore through most of its defense, digging into its body as blood flowed.


    The Porcupine instantly decided from this that this was a misunderstanding.


    This prey was too strong!


    It turned and tried to bolt away into this forest with the spear stuck on it, but this was when Legs'' eyes narrowed as he clenched his right fist.


    Shadow energy instantly started whirling round the Obsidian Spear.


    Then¡­, it exploded with energy!


    BOOM!


    A significant part of the Porcupine was blown apart, it was crippled instantly.


    While this happened, the strange Dinosaur finally started charging closer.


    This Dinosaur was like a T-Rex but with a far longer tail with an arrow-head, the tail was clearly its main weapon apart from its teeth.


    While this Dinosaur charged closer though, Mr. Crane already took to the skies as this powerful beast seemed to turn into a flying sh.


    Mr. Crane was not the only deserter, Mr. Stork''s escape was even crazier as this beast simply turned into harmless flowers floating in the air, he disappeared.


    Legs ignored it and focused on the Dinosaur.


    Whoosh!


    Its deadly tail stabbed forward the next moment.


    With the Combat Master still active, his physicalbat skills shone as his body bent backward, dodging this attack at an awkward angle as the tail went past him harmlessly, and Legs retaliated by cutting upward with his knife.


    "ROAR¡­!!!"


    The Dinosaur''s roar reverberated like thunder as its tail was cut by Legs'' knife, yet its charge did not stop as it aimed to gobble up this human.


    SNAP!


    Its head finally lunged forward as its deadly rows of teeth bit aggressively.


    Legs ducked, barely escaping death as he rolled backward.


    Mid-roll, he essed his inventory again.


    Instantly after he stopped rolling, he pointed upward.


    -----


    You have activated Special Weapon Ability: Particle Beam Bombardment!


    ----


    The dinosaur''s eyes widened.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Blood, pieces of flesh, huge eyeballs, and thick scales sttered everywhere as silence returned to this part of this forest.


    Legs was gone.


    Only the corpse of his victims remained.


    If the corpses were not there, it would seem like nothing happened here at all.


    ¡­


    10 dayster¡­


    THUD! THUD! THUD!


    This part of the shook like an earthquake was imminent as they walked across carefreely, they were the apex predators here.


    As for him, he remained hidden in his cave, watching attentively.


    At this moment, 2 Tyrannosaurus Rex were walking through this field with their young one, every other beast in the region avoided their path.


    This was not just because of their size but their sheer energy and aura.


    The 2 parent Tyrannosaurus Rex were freaking Cmity Grade Beasts!


    10 days was all it took for Legs to get a proper reality check.


    Having met his first Cmity Grade Beast on his first day here after fighting the first group of ambush predators, he was humbled as he sought a cave to hide.


    From his cave, he came out asionally to scout and he was finally done.


    His conclusion?


    Though President Dunk already told him that this was a space pocket from thousands of years ago, he finally confirmed it personally.


    This ind was filled with prehistoric beasts and predators.


    Titanoboas, powerful extinct predators, they inhabited here.


    He got a reality check really fast.


    Even as he scouts for dangers, he also scouted for his reason foring here, the inheritance of the Titan Emperor that would increase his power.


    Of course, like expected, there was no signpost leading him to his destination. After 10 days though, he made some deductions.


    The beasts in here were extremely powerful, and this was backed up by the fact that in just 10 days, having changed caves and hideouts 5 times, he already met 8 Cmity Grade Beasts, this was a ridiculous figure.


    With so much Cmity Grades, he had a faint inkling that there would be a beast above the normal Cmity Grade ruling here.


    He doubted there was any Beyond Grade A Beast but at the very least, there should be a Grade A+ beast in charge of this ind.


    If there was a Grade A+ beast and the inheritance of the Titan Emperor was truly here which could possibly also help beasts advance, it was only natural that the strongest beast would be closest to the location of the inheritance.


    Using this as his filter, he made his map through the number and power of Cmity Grade Beasts that he met and now, he finally deduced it.


    ''The inheritance of the Titan Emperor should be in the West''.


    ''The desert¡­''

 Chapter 577 Encounter with a Titanoboa!

    577 Encounter with a Titanoboa!


    3 dayster¡­


    It was already 13 days since Legs made his way into the special space pocket world, and during this time he already faced countless beasts in battle.


    After so much time, his priorities were no longer just the first one that he came with which was getting the inheritance.


    His intentions for allying with the Nak State from the very beginning was to get resources to increase his strength, and during the 50 years when the yers were in hibernation due to the update, he had been building the foundations for it.


    Now, everything finally started aligning together as he nned.


    The appearance of the Beast Coalition, the desperation of the 2 ruling states of the Minerva Star System that followed, everything worked in his favor.


    Alone, there was no way that he would be able to get ess to a hidden training like Rockfest, this was the power of connections.


    Alone, he would have also never gotten ess to a hidden like Gogunheim which was one of the most important hiddens of the Nak State.


    His goals for going to Rockfest and Gogunheim was to develop his strength within a time frame of 3 months, it manifested already.


    Compared to 3 months ago, as a Grade B+ Demi-God Summoner now, he was far more powerful and could embark in far more risky missions now.


    Risky missions like the invasion of the Beast Coalition''s hideout.


    In essence, he was already prepared to direct the mission that was proposed by him some time ago but what stopped him was time.


    His allocated time of 3 months was not exhausted yet.


    Legs wanted to make the most of this training opportunity.


    The opportunity that was given to him by President Dunk was an opportunity of a lifetime and he had no intentions of wasting it.


    In theory, he had only 7 days remaining to train.


    This was not much time but in practical terms, he had much more time.


    Since time moved 10 times faster in the space pocket world, it meant that he potentially had 70 days to spend just training in this world.


    This extended his training time by an astounding 2 months.


    This was why Legs kept on battling one beast after the other.


    The presence of so many Cmity Grade Beasts in this space pocket told him the caliber of environment that he just found himself. This was the perfect training ground to stimte himself through battle and grow even more.


    His intention was while going to the desert to find the inheritance of the Titan Emperor, he would keep on taking training breaks to fight powerful beasts and train towards his intended Cmity Path.


    Afterall, his ultimate end goal was to realize his Cmity Path.


    With ess to so many extinct and powerful beasts, Legs was able to hone his power every single day until a night ago.


    Just a night ago, Legs came very close to death.


    After leaving the lush forest where he first found himself oning to this world, going further west, he came across a gigantic swamp forest.


    Inside this swamp forest, Legs got ess to a whole host of new beasts.


    He encountered mutated Mud Pangolins.


    Pangolins were mostly beasts with stone affinities but these were a different breed. These beasts mutated so much, retaining their sturdy scales while gaining an affinity for mud that enabled them to attack with it.


    Storming their opponents with mud floods, suffocating them with it, they killed most victims that fell into their trap that were not swift enough to escape.


    They didn''t fear head-on attacks, the defense of their scales was top-tier which ced them as some of the sturdiest beasts that Legs had ever faced in battle. He killed 5 before continuing his journey through this space pocket world.


    5 hourster after the encounter, he met his first Grade B+ beast.


    It was a gigantic Hedgehog standing at almost 25 meters tall.


    This beast was immensely fast with a lot of offensive power.


    Restricting himself to just fusing with Warp Prime and with his Obsidian Spear, Legs battled this beast for 3 long hours,ying waste to the terrain in the process before he finally won narrowly.


    By the time that he won, it was already night.


    As he decided to rest to heal from his injuries, that was when he felt it.


    -----


    WARNING! You have been swept by the energy check of a Cmity Grade Beast- Unknown!


    ----


    Legs felt his heart skip a beat on seeing this notification.


    Without a doubt, this was the alpha beast of this mud forest.


    At first, he was confused as he became gripped by panic.


    Due to his keen observation abilities both born from Christensen''s innate abilities that he got and also Warp Prime''s radar, he always saw the Cmity Grade beasts before they saw him.


    It was why he had been able to stay alive for so long in this dangerous world.


    To not have detected this beast ahead of time despite walking along its territory for so long, clearly, this beast was good at hiding itself.


    He barely received the notification when a rumbling started¡­


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    -----


    15:00


    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration!


    This mud forest shook like an earthquake was imminent and the forest was about to cave into the ground the next moment.


    It was during the rumbling that he saw it.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration!


    You have fused with Warp Prime!


    You have activated active ability: Swamp Affinity- Radar Expansion!


    ----


    His mana was sucked like water as the radar domain expanded like crazy.


    With this new vision, Legs was able to see this gigantic monster.


    It was a snake, a gigantic snake.


    And not just any snake, it was a gigantic Titanoboa!


    This was an absolutely humungous beast that was at least 5 kilometers long!


    Legs could not see its end; it was like it epassed the whole swamp.


    It had dark brown skin that blended perfectly with this swamp forest.


    At this moment, this gigantic snake was turning on its belly.


    This was what caused the rumbling.


    "¡­!" Legs watched in shock and awe.


    He could tell that this monster could see him but it just could not be bothered to attack an inconsequential human, its only concern was getting a better sleeping position. Yes, this monster was sleeping.


    While this monster was moving though, some organisms were alerted.


    ¡­


    Far away, deep inside Gorr.


    There was a gigantic pce and a throne.


    Inside was pure white but nothing could be seen by the naked eye, a strange power obscured any type of normal vision from seeing what was inside.


    "The venom secretion has stopped". A tender but highly respectful voice reported in the forest.


    Silence.


    A few secondster, a deeper voice reverberated.


    "WHY?"


    "Something disturbed its slumber".


    "HOW?"


    "Something disturbed our magic formation keeping its slumber".


    "DO THE NEEEDFUL".


    "Yes, Lord Protector".


    The voices faded like nothing happened.


    ¡­


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The rumbling continued.


    Legs was rooted to the spot, he could not escape, he could do nothing.


    He felt so tiny before this monster that no matter what he did, he felt that a single gesture from it could end his life in the blink of an eye.


    Clearly, this Titanoboa was no normal one.


    It was stronger than the normal Cmity Grade Beast.


    It took more than a minute of this rumbling but like nothing like this ever happened, everything came to a halt as this beast returned to its slumber.


    Heaving a sigh of relief, Legs no longer dared to stay in one ce.


    His priority changed to getting the f*ck out of this swamp forest.


    And now, he was finally close to the edge of the swamp.


    Having been keeping track of the Titanoboa monster since, on getting close to the edge of the swamp and noticing that its body didn''t extend to here, he was finally able to make an estimate on its size.


    This gigantic snake was at least 8 kilometers long!


    This was a crazy size for a beast.


    Legs even guessed that it was a Grade A+ beast.


    During the past few days of travel though, Legs noticed another thing, the progeny of the monster Titanoboa were spread across the swamp.


    Most of them were Grade B beasts.


    More than once, he had gotten the urge to engage one of these beasts in battle to test his current strength and increase his experience fighting different opponents but due to fear of their close by mommy, he dared not attack.


    Now, at the edge of the forest though, Legs became more daring.


    2 hours was all it took for him to find and lure over a worthy opponent.


    A Grade B+ Titanoboa, this monster was almost a kilometer long.


    Compared to its mother, it was still a pup but before Legs, he felt like he was going up against the World Snake when he decided to take on this beast.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Sensory Illusion!


    ----


    Fused with Warp Prime, he created an illusion that simted the scent of a freshly roasted beast that was too tantalizing to ignore.


    The adult Titanoboa simply could not resist the allure of the smell.


    It ventured to the edge of the forest to feast on this delicious meal.


    Unknowing to it, an assassin awaited its arrival.


    The night was dark like usual.


    The breeze was gentle but ominous.


    The chirping of birds stopped, even the Owls stopped howling.


    Rustle! Rustle!


    The leaves danced to the tune of the breeze, and Legs made his move.


    Whoosh!

 Chapter 578 Battle against a Grade B+ Titanoboa!

    578 Battle against a Grade B+ Titanoboa!


    Rustle! Rustle!


    "Hiss¡­"


    Amid the rustling sounds of the leaves dancing to the night breeze, a subtle hissing sound could be heard as a gigantic predator slid through the mud.


    This kilometer long predator''s tongue kept on moving about.


    The scent of this meal was too alluring to ignore.


    As it located its prey, unknowing to it, another predator locked it down.


    At a sizeable distance away from this monster, Legs was taking no risks, he nned the sequences of this battle in his head, including contingency ns for any surprises before he finally made his move.

    [Overall Control Level: 128%]


    ----


    A few weeks ago, just after he made his way out of Gogunheim, his base control level with Warp Prime grew to above 100%, settling at 103%.


    Weeks of hunting in this now increased his affinity with Warp Prime even more since he mostly fused with Warp Prime now when hunting.


    The myriad abilities that Warp Prime stole due to the trip to Gogunheim now made him the best contracted beast that he went to for battles. Fusing with Warp Prime granted him unmatched flexibility in battle, like now.


    As soon as Legs fused with Warp Prime, the distant adult Titanoboa felt something but he could not pinpoint this feeling as it observed alertly.


    Legs made his move.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Shademark


    ----


    Whoosh!


    A pair of predatory eyes red in one direction.


    "¡­!"


    The Titanoboa was a different beast entirely.


    Unlike all the other opponents that Legs faced in battle since making his way to this special space pocket, it became clear that this adult Titanoboa was different as it felt it instantly after the shademark was activated.


    Instantly after he ced the shademark, the Titanoboa reacted, looking in the direction where the energy came from but it saw nothing.


    He was already gone but this veteran predator did not give up.


    BOOM!


    It exploded forward with speed!


    Its size was almost a kilometer long, crossing a kilometer of distance to get to the position where this energy came from was an instant feat to this beast.


    It moved and arrived in an instant but he was nowhere to be seen.

    ----


    Legs nned and came up with lots of contingency ns.


    No predator or prey was supposed to be able to know it when he used his Shademark on them but Legs knew that in the super world, nothing was set in stone, there were beasts and supers with inexplicable abilities.


    This was why no matter how small the possibility of it was, he still included the possibility of the Titanoboa somehow finding about his position.


    And of course, he already came up with a contingency n for it.


    This was why he reacted instantly after the Titanoboa looked.


    Entering his spectral form, he became invisible to the snake and he didn''t just do it, he took off to the skies to guarantee his safety and this decision came to save him as the Titanoboa arrived at his previous position the next moment.


    Up in the skies, with the Titanoboa beneath him, he improvised.


    The next parts of his n flowed smoothly in his head like water.


    his flight ability, he was already rapidly diving downwards.


    15:02


    The sheer energy and friction in the air warned the Titanoboa of it first.


    He essed his inventory and took hold of his Obsidian Spear instantly, and the next moment, the power of his Nature Connection triggered.


    Even as the neutral mana in the air started gathering around the tip and edge of his spear, through his flight ability, he was already rapidly diving downwards.


    The sheer energy and friction in the air warned the Titanoboa of it first.


    But¡­, it was already toote.


    Legs struck at this gigantic beast''s head with all his power.


    BOOOM¡­!


    "¡­"


    Silence reigned for a second after this collision, then¡­


    "HISSSSS¡­!" The hiss sounded like the loud st of a whistle!


    Legs felt dizzy but he reacted as he retreated back into the air.


    In the air, he saw it.


    Just before collision, the Titanoboa reacted as its body changed.


    The dark brown head of this gigantic snake became encased in diamond. This was a special armor that this Titanoboa created through a special ability.


    Instead of striking its body directly, Legs struck this diamond with all his power and what followed after showed the snake what caliber of opponent had the guts to ambush it inside its own domain.


    The diamond shattered!


    The Titanoboa was shocked but it reacted even as it hissed angrily.


    This was definitely no easy opponent.


    This was a dangerous opponent.


    And she reacted like she did to all dangerous opponents.


    She went all out instantly in retaliation.


    Legs barely retreated when the surrounding domain came under the control of this Snake, an explosion of mud erupted!


    BOOOM!


    Not just mud, poison also.


    SIZZLE!


    This Titanoboa had a mixed affinity of mud and poison.


    This explosion of mud mixed with poison rose over 10 meters into the air as theyshed out like the tentacles of a kraken.


    Everything that fell under the domain of their rampage suffered.


    Legs'' flight was swift, he dodged all the deadly mud but, in the process, his spectral form finally 15:03


    faded as the now muddy atmosphere affected his invisibility.


    Gigantic trees were torn down by this mud storm.


    The sturdier ones melted as the poison seeped into their bodies.


    No life literally survived this initial mud and poison rampage from the Titanoboa, except the one enemy, the target that tried to attack it first.


    The Titanoboa''srge predatory eyes squinted as it looked up.


    It finally saw its opponent clearly.


    Legs'' flight was swift, he dodged all the deadly mud but, in the process, his spectral form finally faded as the now muddy atmosphere affected his invisibility.


    This gigantic snake recognized his species.


    "HUMAN!" She hissed in hate and anger.


    Then, she made even moreplicated moves.


    Curling up rapidly, this Titanoboa''s gigantic head faced upwards as Legs was forced to retreat further into the air, then it opened its mouth.


    Whoosh!


    Poisonous mist instantly came out of the mouth of this Titanoboa.


    This poisonous mist did not only saturate this atmosphere with a deadly poison, but it also solidified around a region of 10 kilometers, forming an extremely sturdy shield that trapped the enemy inside this domain.


    The Titanoboa was determined to kill this daring enemy.


    "HISSS¡­!" She hissed again then she dived upwards.


    Whoosh!


    She was sorge that her movements made the air vibrate.


    She spoke¡­ again.


    "SPECIAL BLOODLINE ABILITY: ABSOLUTE DEATH TOOTH!"


    One of its row of teeth became a glistening purple color tooth.


    It now reeked with poison and death as it flew upwards at its prey.


    Legs became frozen in the air.


    He felt that one bite from this tooth would end his life.


    Not just that, he already stopped breathing about a second ago. He felt that if he took a breath from this current atmosphere, it would be the catalyst that would result in his swift death to this Titanoboa.


    Like he expected, this beast was indeed strong.


    His life was currently in danger but he did not feel frustrated at all.


    He rather felt excited, the pressure stimted him.


    It had been a long time since his training that an enemy gave him such chills.


    He grinned. "Bring it on!"

    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Legs'' swamp control tried to fight for domination against the Titanoboa''s mud storm as both struggled, the Titanoboa''s mud control was on an entirely different level from Warp Prime''s mud control.


    Amid this struggle, he threw dozens of Mud Spears at the gigantic snake.


    It''s thick skin passively withstood all the damage.


    Legs added a dose of telekinesis as all the dead trees around turned into deadly shrapnel that charged towards this beast, trying tocerate its skin.


    The skin of this Titanoboa was just too freaking thick though.


    It kept on charging upwards, then¡­ the Body-Gravity Explosion triggered.


    BOOM¡­!


    The Titanoboa came to a halt!


    This gigantic beast felt dizzy, it felt like it just collided against a.


    That was not all¡­


    Power generated under Legs'' powerful long frog legs, and he stomped on the head of this snake with all his power.


    The Earthquake Stomp.


    It was like the scene of the devil being banished to earth by the Saint Michael!


    BOOM!


    It crashed to the ground as a massive crater was created.


    Still, the Titanoboa did not blood, it only hissed defiantly.


    Seeing this, Legs grinned in excitement.

    From the skies, he dived towards the Titanoboa with his grip firmly around his Obsidian Spear and when he stabbed, the world seemed to respond to it.


    BOOOOOMMM¡­!


    CRACK!


    The skin of the Titanoboa finally cracked¡­


    "HISSSSS¡­!!!"


    This gigantic Snake hissed angrily.


    This kickstarted the beginning of a destructive melee in this swamp forest.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Legs dueled to the death against this gigantic snake.


    They shed for minutes, and at the 15th minute, something changed.


    An intruder snuck into this battlefield.


    -----


    WARNING! Your Radar Expansion has detected an intruder!

    Legs was distracted and the Titanoboa got him.


    He received a devastating attack to his chest.

    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    The battle kept on raging fiercely at the edge of this mud forest.


    Living 50 years in gctic space was a long time for a talented warrior to amass a lot ofbat experience and Legs was no different.


    His Cmity Path was aplicated one that addressed all issues.


    He aimed for perfection and indomitability in battle.


    During all these years, even without Warp Prime''s ability to steal other''s abilities, Legs kept on going stronger through his beasts as Predator and the others mutated, growing stronger and developing more abilities.


    He had myriad abilities with all 4 of his contracted beasts.


    Through his spirit conjurer ability, he had ess to all these abilities on will but it was even easier to use when he fused with any of his beasts.


    Fused with only Warp Prime the first time, the Titanoboa dominated.


    But it all changed in the blink of an eye after Legs changed.


    Fused with Predator also, he fought this humungous monster evenly.


    Even as he kept on stabbing with his powerful Obsidian Spear, dealing incredible damage everything through the amplification brought by his Nature Connection and Body-Gravity Explosion, Predator did even more.


    Fusing with Predator gave him ess to a whole new range of abilities.


    Predator brought a touch of savagery and aggressiveness to his style.


    In Warp Prime''s Swamp Frog form, his physique was more simr to his humanoid body which enabled him to use his Obsidian Spear effortlessly.


    Fused with Predator now though, he did more.


    Predator was a monster of savage brawls.


    CRUNCH!


    When he bit the first time, the Titanoboa was shocked as he tore off arge chunk of flesh from the body of this monster with that bite.


    The Annihtion Bite ability was nothing to be scoffed at as hundreds of gctic beasts already died to Predator with it, but that was just the beginning, Predator had a whole lot more abilities to torment this gigantic snake with.


    Predator was clearly pumped for this battle, he loved challenges.


    When the Probability Bite- Dark Maws finally activated, the gigantic adult Titanoboa roared in pain as arge chunk of its health points were wiped out.


    The unbearable pain stimted this Titanoboa to retaliate.


    Legs and his contracted beasts were prepared though.


    Activating both Predator''s Ultimate Scale Defense and Warp Prime''s other defensive abilities, he was able to stand his ground, withstanding the crazy barrage that was thrown at them by this beast.


    The battle was intense as a crater was gradually formed beneath them.


    They both kept on spamming attacks at each other for hours, until it came.


    No, he came.


    -----


    WARNING! Your Radar Expansion has detected an intruder!


    ----


    Legs was distracted and the Titanoboa got him.


    He received a devastating attack to his chest.


    BOOM!


    As Legs flew back while keeping an eye on the angry Titanoboa, he paid special attention to the intruder that just entered his radar domain.


    Not anyone could simply enter this domain.


    This domain was where 2 Grade B+ powerhouses were battling to the death at this moment, for something to enter, it should be of the same grade or higher.


    Paying attention, he was shocked.


    She was dressed in a long flowing royal purple robe.


    At this moment, a slightly golden force field surrounded her that kept her from the sight of the naked eye but Legs'' radar expansion saw her clearly.


    She had a humanoid shape, but she was no human.


    She was huge, like a Giant.


    But she was no Giant, she had glistening red skin that had a stony texture like rocks. Her weirdly familiar skin gave her a certain type of charm and beauty.


    At this moment, she seemed to have no intentions of joining this battle or interrupting as she stayed at the edge of the Titanoboa''s poison mist shield.


    She observed this battle with a nonchnt look on her face.


    "POISON-MUD WAVE!"


    The gigantic Titanoboa spoke again.


    BOOM!


    Legs was distracted as he had to react.


    Having noticed him briefly lose focus, the Titanoboa reacted swiftly, taking advantage as she activated this ability that induced another storm.


    Purplish poison materialized from the poison mist that it released previously.


    This poison mist mixed with the still raging mud storm to create an even bigger mud storm that rose up into the skies to almost a height of 1 kilometer!


    This wave of poison and mud flooded towards Legs with immense speed.


    Legs barely started making defensive moves when the Snake moved again, and yet again, she spoke.


    "ABSOLUTE DEATH- ABSORPTION!"


    Her kilometer long body instantly curled again, forming a mini mountain.


    Her mouth opened as they expanded like an stic band the next moment, forming a gigantic pitch-ck hole that seemed like a ckhole.


    Her eyes narrowed into slits as she eyed her prey, then¡­


    WHOOM!


    This gigantic snakeunched forward with immense speed with her mouth open. Her intentions were clear.


    This Titanoboa aimed to swallow him whole!


    And with the ability she called out, her intentions were to digest him so f*cking fast that he would barely register what happened.


    Bzzz!


    Legs felt like electricity just went through his body.


    All his danger senses rang rms.


    He experienced a feeling of mortal danger.


    ''I need to react or I will die!'' He concluded. ''But¡­''


    He didn''t look but his senses focused there, in her location, after some distraction and thought, he finally recognized her race.


    ''A Titan!'' He was excited.


    ''Is she part of the representatives of the Titan Emperor here?''


    ''Will she show me how to get the inheritance?''


    ''But¡­, if that is so, why did she leave where she previously was toe locate me here?'' He was confused.


    ''Did she discover traces of me and came to recruit me?''


    ''Did the Titan Emperor''s inheritance informed her of an heir?''


    ''What is she really here for?'' He had so many thoughts but no concrete evidence, he could not pay attention to it all though.


    ''But if she really is a recruit representative of the Titan Emperor, I need to prove my strength now to stand better chances of impressing her''.


    ''No need holding back''.


    ''I need to show my full strength now''.


    ''Training''s over''.


    WHOOM!


    The Titanoboa was now directly above Legs, its widely opened mouth bared down like a ckhole aiming to erase him from existence.


    This was when Legs finally reacted.

    Legs was swallowed by this beast.


    -----


    WARNING! You have been exposed to toxic gastric acid!


    WARNING! You are rapidly being digested¡­!


    ----


    The intruder''s eyes rose as he was swallowed.


    But it barelysted a millisecond.


    BOOM!


    Icicles flew everywhere as a world of now burst out right out of the belly of this gigantic Titanoboa, the gigantic snake hissed in pain.


    Amid the pain, a barrage of ice followed.


    Legs did not hesitate; he sted the gigantic beast with ice abilities.


    Freezing its body at different ces, he attacked with ice icicles while continuing to bite with Predator''s ferociousness and strength.


    The Titanoboa was littered with injuries in no time.


    When it adapted and mounted a counterattack, Legs changed.

    CRUNCH!


    Changing forms again, Legs spammed the Titanoboa with abilities that messed with its perception and it became confused.


    This enabled him to vite the beast''s body with Predator''s abilities.


    He dealt incredible damage across a span of just seconds.


    In just a few seconds, the Titanboa''s health points that were still above 40% after a few hours of intense battle instantly dropped to below 20%.


    This gigantic snake became desperate, it tried to adapt and retaliate, yet¡­

    Legs expanded in size, bing 5 times bigger and taller.


    The disparity in size became smaller and with it came a battering.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Commanding the very blood, organic, and mental processes of this Titanoboa, he tormented it as it enabled him to deal even more damage.


    The Titanoboa''s health points drained below 10%.


    It became desperate.


    "HISSS¡­!"


    It tried to escape but Legs would not let it.


    While all these happened, a certain female in a purple robe watched.


    "He''s strong". She muttered.


    "90% probability of having 4 contracted beasts¡­"


    "His affinity with these 2 beasts is already above 100%, hisbat techniques and instincts are excellent, he is dangerous".


    "Strength evaluation, B".


    She folded her hands and just watched.


    10 secondster¡­


    BOOM!


    Legs stabbed his enhanced vampire fingers into the head of this Titanoboa, gutting its brain out of its body as it twitched wildly in immense pain before finally going limp.


    With a grin on his face, Legs briefly paid attention to his game interface notifications that appeared.


    -----


    Congrattions! You have killed a Grade B+ Adult Titanoboa!


    You have received Experience Points!


    ----


    He barely paid attention when he felt his danger instincts ring.


    Shocked, he inclined his head and only saw her eyes.


    She had Irish blue eyes, and they were cold.


    Her left hand was extended and in it were her dangerously long fingers more like ws, she was striking down at his head with immense speed at this moment.


    It was too fast; Legs could not think not to talk of react.


    BOOM!


    Legs''s brain exploded!

 Chapter 580 Anomaly!

    ?


    BOOM!


    Legs stabbed his enhanced vampire fingers into the head of this Titanoboa, gutting its brain out of its body as it twitched wildly in immense pain before finally going limp.


    With a grin on his face, Legs briefly paid attention to his game interface notifications that appeared.


    He only feigned paying attention to something else actually.


    Instead, what he was paying attention to was her.


    Having impressed enough, he wanted to see her reaction.


    Afterall, at this moment, he felt like a malest born that just worked his ass out, doing his best to do something that his father requested and after doing it perfectly was now waiting for his father''s evaluation and subsequent praise.


    At this moment, he was waiting for the impending praise.


    He expected praise but what came was different.


    Looking, he could see her eyes.


    At this moment, they didn''t look like the eyes of someone that was impressed at all, they rather looked like the eyes of an emotionless executioner.


    She had no emotions in her eyes, no empathy, they were just there.


    She seemed to have no sentiment or connection to life.


    She was living but she felt lifeless in a way at this moment.


    The more he paid attention to her, the more restless he became.


    Then, his eyes widened¡­


    WHOOSH!


    She moved so fast that he felt his life sh before him.


    She moved so unhesitatingly that he saw death through her eyes.


    One moment, he was paying divided attention to her and his game interface notifications and the next moment, his eyes were wide opened in shock.


    He could only see her eyes.


    Beautiful Irish blue eyes that only reflected death and staleness.


    Her left hand was extended and in it were her dangerously long fingers more like ws, she was striking down at his head with immense speed at this moment.


    It was too fast; Legs could not think not to talk of react.


    BOOM!


    Legs'' brain exploded!


    It was straight death!


    Or better still, it was supposed to be straight death.


    At that moment, Legs felt his life sh before him.


    He felt dread for his life.


    His heart shook in fear.


    She showed no hesitation, no indecisiveness, literally not even thoughts, she knew what she was going for and went for it unhesitatingly.


    She went for the head with a traumatizing ruthlessness that Legs was not used to despite fighting against countless different pirates and mercenaries for 50 years, this female was on a whole other level.


    Legs was supposed to be dead already at this moment.


    The only reason why he was alive was his fear.


    Having paid attention to her before, the look in her eyes was too ominous for him to ignore. It was the eyes of a cold and ruthless killer.


    It was that eye that does not blink in the face of death.


    They were the eyes of someone who takes lives without thinking.


    Lives meant nothing to her.


    Those eyes were all the red gs that he needed to react.


    Legs could not stay in one ce.


    Despite the fact that an attack was noting at that moment, he did not feel safe at all, his fear and paranoia pushed him into doing something.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Doppelganger Substitution!


    ----


    Instantly after Legs used this ability, it happened.


    If he was just a fraction of a secondte, he would already be dead.


    He came so close to death at this moment that he sweat like mad.


    His sweat felt like heavy bricks running down his face.


    His eyes twitched in trepidation.


    His heart beat faster.


    Adrenaline surged through him like a tonic.


    His blood pressure rose as he looked at the fake blood that was sttered, at his doppelganger that just met its end in the blink of an eye.


    "Why?" He muttered.


    The first emotion that he felt was confusion.


    ''This speed!'' Then he felt fear.


    ''She didn''t even hesitate!'' Then he felt frustrated at his foolishness that this female was some kind of envoy sent to recruit him and his efforts to impress her.


    ''She almost killed me!'' Then he felt angry.


    At this moment, Legs boiled in rage.


    Since over 56 years ago when he reincarnated into Dominator, he had been in different situations that brought him close to death.


    Heck, he even died once and wed his way back from death.


    Death was not a new experience to him.


    The frustrating thing about this one was how unexpected it was. He never expected this female Titan to suddenly develop thoughts of killing him.


    Thinking about how much he let down his guard, he felt stupid.


    He felt angry, his rage bubbled.


    The female Titan finally turned around to look at him with a peculiar expression on her face, an infuriating one.


    "You survived?" She sounded surprised.


    And that was it!


    Legs was now beyond incensed; he could no longer hold himself.


    And having seen her in action once, he dared not hesitate.


    Legs entered Super Saiyan from the onset!

    BZZZZ!


    Legs transformed.


    His energy flooded out powerfully like an avnche.


    The eyes she looked at him with were no longer nonchnt, she finally showed emotion as she frowned. "He mastered the final form¡­"


    "He''s stronger than evaluated".


    She changed her evaluation. "Strength evaluation, A".


    Veins grew across the body of this gigantic red Titan the next moment, then she took a step, and she seemed to teleport from one ce to the other.


    BOOOM!!!


    She broke the sound barrier!


    With her clenched right fist, she punched at Legs.


    Legs did not flinch.

    [You have equipped Enchanted Armor: Scales of the Nightmare Dragon!]


    [You have equipped Enchanted Treasure: Lucius'' Mirror!]


    [You have equipped Cutting-Edge Weapon: Positron Rifle!]


    ----


    Her red right fist advanced forward with the force of a meteorite.


    And just before it hit, something appeared.


    More importantly, 2 things appeared.


    Even as Legs changed, bing cloaked in a pitch-ck armor, the Positron Rifle and the Lucius'' Mirror appeared as he controlled these 2 special weapons in the air through his telekinesis powers.


    This mirror shone a bright light at this moment.


    BAM!


    The red fist hit with all the power but it didn''t break through the mirror.


    Instead, the mirror absolved the energy, and¡­ it redirected all the energy.


    BAM!


    "Ugh¡­!" The Titan groaned for the first time as her own fist hit her face.


    The fist barely hit her face when through telekinesis, Legs pulled the trigger.

    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    As the Positron Rifle bombarded this Titan, channeling Legs'' fury, the portal to the beast ne opened again as his tamed beasts charged out.


    They surrounded this Titan in no time and Legs finally made his move.


    With the Obsidian Spear on his hand, he moved and nature moved with him.


    -----


    You have activated Self-Created Ability: Nature Connection!


    ----


    He struck with his spear and the air vibrated from the sheer force.


    BOOM¡­!!!


    The Titan bled for the first time, she frowned even more as she tried to retaliate but Legs was not having any of it, he started abo.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    With more than a dozen tamed beasts surrounding the Titan, she could barely focus on anything even as Legs fused with his contracted beasts bombarded her aggressively while tanking all her counterattacks.


    Legs attacked this Titan with all the anger in his head.


    "Die!"


    "Die!"


    "DIE!!!"


    She already increased his strength evaluation to A grading but yet, she still vastly underestimated this Summoner, Legs was on a whole ss of his own.


    He exceeded all the expectations of this strange Titan.


    Yet, at the same time, she also exceeded all his expectations.


    Despite him going all out, fueled by his anger at this moment and using his full power, he was unable to kill her instantly, this was shocking!


    She was far stronger than the adult Titanoboa.


    Not just that, her counterattacks were devastating the few times she got to use them and a tiny mistake resulted in casualties for Legs.


    He lost 2 of his tamed beasts to this female Titan''s deadly attacks.


    He was bbergasted, yet this only made him angrier.


    "You shall die today!"


    "YOU SHALL PAY!!!"


    Perhaps, it was the anger in his heart at this moment or perhaps, even the frustration of not being able to kill her immediately but Legs felt something.


    Another epiphany!


    His next spear attack, he didn''t just strike with it.


    He drained his mental power, pushing all his telekinesis powers to amplify the sh even as he added Nature Connection and a bit of Body-Gravity Explosion.


    It hit with a mighty impact.


    BOOM!


    When it hit, Legs knew instantly, it was different, it was a new self-created ability that anger pushed him to create.


    Legs gave it a name. "Nature''s Anger!"


    BOOM!


    The Titan reacted, blocking with her hand but not this time.


    The Obsidian Spear cleanly cut through her hands.


    Then it cut through her neck with impunity.


    There was resistance but not this time¡­, this was its end.


    Thud!


    The female Titan was beheaded, her head rolled on the ground.


    Huff! Huff!


    Legs'' breath was rapid as he stared at her with some rage still in his eyes.


    Her headless body twitched before going limb.


    Her eyes became white.


    Legs took a deep breath. "Why did she attack me?"


    He turned, yet he paused, he froze in shock.


    "You are indeed strong".


    Turning around, Legs was shocked, he saw life back in her eyes.


    Her head was still separated from her body but her eyes were open at this moment, her expression showed shock, excitement, and fanatism.


    "I''ve heard the others speak of them but I never expected to see one".


    "There have only been 3 humans to visit this domain who were like you".


    "You are a human above humans".


    This head grinned.


    She changed her words. "Strength evaluation, S".


    Whoosh!


    The head fused together with the body seamlessly, it was like it was never beheaded in the first ce.


    This was shocking, but what followed after was even more shocking.


    The female Titan morphed, she transformed fundamentally.


    This Titan became male.


    His voice changed, turning deep. "You deserve to see my Yang form".


    "It will be your honor to die to my de". He unsheathed a sword from his head, forming a grotesque image that gave Legs chills.


    Legs felt goosebumps. "W-who are you?!"

    [Congrattions! You have exceeded your limits again!]


    [You have created a new Self-Created Active Ability: Nature''s Anger!]


    [You have taken another significant step inpleting your Cmity Path!]


    ----


    Legs could not pay attention to this game interface notification at all, he was so shaken by what was happening before him that all his attention was on it.


    Whoosh!


    Seeing the head of this Titan that he beheaded fuse together back with the body right before him, Legs began to doubt his sanity.


    ''Am I hallucinating?''


    He grimaced. ''Did de give me super dosage alcohol by mistake again?''


    ''But I''ve been in istion!''


    The more he looked, the more he was convinced.


    This was too real, there was no f*cking way that he was hallucinating and this made the current reality even more horrifying to him.


    Yet, that was not all, what followed was even more shocking.


    Watching the female Titan that he went all out just to beat transform right there before him, changing its body and gender from female to male, once again, he began to doubt whether he was still sane.


    ''Did I die and I didn''t know?''


    ''Is this what follows after death? Insanity?''


    ''Because, what in the name of f*ck is this?!''


    He found what he was seeing too incredulous to believe.


    Watching this now male Titan pull out a sword right out of his head, forming an incredibly grotesque image, he felt sick.


    ''Now, this is definitely a nightmare!''


    ''Is all these a dream?!''


    "It will be your honor to die to my de".


    Hearing this, he felt even more goosebumps, this was real!


    "W-who are you?!" Legs stammered.


    Crack!


    With his sword now on his right hand, this male Titan cracked his head back and forth like it was not just beheaded a few seconds ago.


    Then he focused on Legs. "You asked for who I am?"


    "Well, I will tell you, you deserve to know since you will die soon enough".


    This Titan still had the same emotionless look on his face.


    "I am Eoton, one of the 7 Titan Immortals that were created by the Titan Emperor to take care of his inheritance, Gorr after his death".


    "Our job is to make sure that this pocket space is not taken over by external powers that are not Titans, and to make sure that only direct descendants of the Titan Race get to take part in the emperor''s inheritance".


    "The Emperor created us using the rare Grade S organic material, glub".


    "We''re malleable, we can change our genders for pleasure at whim".


    "This malleability is not restricted to just our physical bodies".


    "It also affects our inherent energies".


    "That is why even Cmity Grades cannot run rampantly inside Gorr and could die like anyone else, this is because glub grants us the ability for our energies to fluctuate depending on the level of enemy inside the".


    "If you were a Cmity Grade human, right now, glub would have enabled me to have Cmity Grade energy to fight and obliterate you".


    "How much energy I have depends on how powerful you are".


    "Glub also allows us to be immortal".


    "We can never die".


    "Even when we''re ground to dust, glub will be able to rearrange us back from dust, bringing us back to life".


    "The only thing that can kill us is Grade S energy and no one that enters here has it, afterall, Grade S Supers cannot enter Gorr".


    "Forcing their way in will cause Gorr to self-implode".


    "Onest thing, ourbat instincts and abilities are directly taken from the memories of the Titan Emperor, you have no hope of winning against me in battle".


    "Do not resist, let me make this quick and painless".


    "You''ve already proved your power".


    Legs finally calmed down.


    Due to the series of bizarre events that followed instantly after he almost died, he lost his cool but due to this Titan speaking and revealing so much, most of his fears were ayed as he could finally calm down.


    He looked at this Titan. "If you were made by the Titan Emperor to look after his inheritance, then why are you trying to kill me?"


    "Are you not supposed to lead me to his inheritance instead?"


    "You are not a direct descendant of the Titan Race".


    "You simply gained the powers of the Titan bloodline".


    "You probably even had to kill a direct descendant of the Titan Race to get his bloodline and in the Titan Emperor''s constitution, this is punishable by death".


    "The inheritance of the Titan Emperor is not for you!"


    The Titan''s eyes squinted the next moment. "I know you asked these questions only to stall for time, you have been observing, calcting to find a way to escape and I know you''re smart".


    "You should have found your answer by now".


    "There is no escape".


    "You can''t beat me either".


    "The only oue of a confrontation is death".


    Legs sighed and took a deep breath. "You may be right, but the only thing is that you don''t know me".


    "You''re right, my calctions arepletely not in my favor today".


    "It does not matter though; calctions are not everything".


    "Sometimes, little deviations can alter set in stone answers".


    "Nothing is definite". Legs grinned.


    "Other humans may give up without fighting at this moment but me?"


    "I''m a different breed".


    "I''m not of this world".


    "I won''t give up without a fight!"


    "Onest thing too". He raised a finger. "That was not my final form!"


    The Titan''s eyebrows raised.

    ----


    Instantly after the Titan''s eyebrows rose, Legs grabbed his Obsidian Spear tightly with his right fist before aiming to throw it at his target.


    While he aimed, he activated the doppelganger substitution.


    Instantly, a doppelganger Obsidian Spear was created.


    This was what he threw at the red male Titan.


    BOOM!


    It tore through the air with immense force and speed.


    Amplified by the power of his newly created ability, Nature''s Anger, it tore through the air with impunity and with the all-epassing powers of Predator''s probability, it felt extremely dangerous to the male Titan.


    If this spear hit, it would drain a whole lot of energy and health.


    Legs did not wait for the oue of this attack, having already learned that this Titan was literally immortal, his goal in this battle changed.


    He no longer aimed to kill this Titan but to escape it.


    Instantly after he threw the doppelganger spear, he activated Predator''s massive veil of darkness ability that instantly obscured vision everywhere.


    And as luck would have it, the Titan was temporarily blinded.


    This was when he activated Ak''s Devastating Nature Call.


    Multiple powerful hurricanes picked up instantly!


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Amid the intense rampage of wind energy, Legs activated 3 skills, Ak''s Speed Demon, Alpha Wolf, and Laser Del Vento abilities.


    The first turned him into a literal speed demon.


    The 2nd increased his overall power on every aspect by channeling the power of Ak''s subordinates, while thest was a supportive attack at his target.


    BOOM!!!


    The immensely powerful redser tore through the air with force, burning a hole through it in the process as the airspace briefly became unstable.


    The spear andser rushed towards the male Titan.


    And this was when Legs turned and took off.


    Whoosh!


    He seemed to be the sh as mud and water was left in his wake.


    He barely moved though when the male Titan finally reacted.


    This Titan raised his free left hand and space wobbled.


    Then from space appeared an object¡­, an hourss.


    Once this hourss appeared, Legs who constantly paid attention to this Titan instantly felt an oppressive energy that he already noticed before be stronger. This was the power of time!


    The male Titan spoke. "Rewind; Degradation!"


    A red energy erupted from the hourss.


    Szzzz!


    It was subtle, almost silent.


    This energy surrounded the advancing spear andser, and instantly, both started degrading.


    The spear degraded into iron ore in an instant.


    As for theser, it turned into heat that dissipated into the surroundings.


    The male Titan spoke again. "Reboot!"


    The energy fluctuations were stronger this time.


    SZZZZ!


    In less than a second after activating all those abilities, Legs already escaped out of the mud forest as he already crossed a distance of 2 kilometers.


    With this ability though, the red time energy affected him.


    Legs saw himself back right where he started!


    It was almost like¡­ he was just in the process of starting his escape.


    "¡­!" He was shocked.


    The male Titan clenched his powerful red fist, then¡­


    BAM!


    A pummeling started.


    The physical strength of this Titan was on a whole other level.


    Legs was pushed to the wall and he groped wildly at all his trump cards just to try surviving even as he was pummeled like a thief.


    3 more of his tamed beasts, including one of the Demons that he tamed from the Underworld died during this time, showing how desperate his situation was.


    The Titan was not just strong physically, with its sword, it was a beast and not just that, its temporal powers almost negated all of his many abilities.


    He could not escape.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Yet¡­, he did not die.


    The Titan was shocked. ''How can he still be alive?''


    ''All the special humans like him were recorded to be strong but every single time, they died after just a few seconds of facing the Yang state''.


    ''What is he?''


    ''This Cmity Path¡­, it is special!''


    ''Also, for a Summoner, how can he be so ridiculously resilient!''


    Legs'' Supreme Talents were what saved him at this moment.


    And pushed to desperation alone, he banked hisst gasp n on them.


    BAM!


    After another devastating punch that pushed Legs deep into the ground, forming a crater, even amid the pain and dizziness, he forced himself to focus.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    The portal to the beast ne opened.


    Not just that, a portal to the Void Dimension also opened.


    And from inside these 2 portals¡­, an army of beasts surged out!


    ROAR!


    ROAR¡­!


    ROAR¡­!!!"


    Over a million beasts charged out of the beast ne, covering the crater where Legs was even as a million other beasts charged out of the Void Dimension, bloating the skies with their sheer numbers.


    The Titan''s eyes narrowed, then¡­


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Its fistsunched rapidly like a rampaging gatling gun.


    Hundreds of thousands of beasts died in a second.


    But that was all the time that he needed.


    In 3 seconds, the millions of beasts died but he was nowhere to be found.


    Legs¡­ was gone.

 Chapter 582 Maverick; Survivor!

    ?


    30 dayster¡­


    Deep inside the desert in Gorr, there was a purple pce.


    This pce stood at a gigantic size of almost 2 kilometers tall.


    Its top overlooked the whole.


    This was the center of this space pocket world, this was the graveyard of the Titan Emperor, as well as his pce, and as well as his inheritance ground.


    At the highest floor of this pce was a gathering room.


    The throne of an Emperor was at the end of this gathering room, there was a huge round table at the center and surrounding the table were 7 majestic chairs.


    Names were written on these 7 majestic chairs.


    >Aodon<


    >Bodon<


    >Codon<


    >Dodon<


    >Eodon<


    >Fodon<


    >Godon<


    At the throne was written a name that was already lost to history.


    >Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac<


    Few remembered this name in this era, most only knew him as the Titan Emperor but this was his real name.


    Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac was the name of the Titan Emperor that ruled the Minerva Star System, in opposition to his rival, the Emperor of the almighty World Controller Empire.


    At this moment, all the chairs in this room were empty.


    There was a huge golden clock on the wall and it ticked every second.


    2 secondster, it ticked onest time.


    DONG!


    A loud sound reverberated, then¡­


    Bzzz! Bzzz!


    Space energy was generated in this room and the next moment, the 7 chairs that surrounded the round table were upied by people, precisely Titans.


    These were the 7 Titan Immortals that were created by the Titan Emperor just before his death to look after his only legacy, his inheritance.


    The throne of the Titan Emperor remained unupied.


    As soon as they arrived, the 7 Titan Immortals stood up, turned to face the throne before bowing reverently as they paid homage to their creator.


    "Long live the legacy of his majesty!"


    Only after this did they sit down and face each other.


    The order of their names determined their rank among the 7 Titan Immortals, Aodon was the first born of the Titan Emperor and was the highest ranked while Godon was the weakest and thest born.


    At this moment, all the other Titan Immortals frowned and focused on one.


    "It''s been 30 days¡­!" Aodon spoke, his voice was deep as it reverberated like the aggressive growl of a wild beast.


    Unlike most of the others that took on their Yin female forms, in this round table of 7, only Aodon and Codon took on their male Yang forms.


    Taking on the Yang form drained more of the temporal energy left behind by their father, they took on the Yin form most times to minimize the energy loss.


    Eodon bit his lip, he already returned to his Yin form but at this moment, he no longer looked like the young handsome man he was when he fought Legs.


    He now looked emaciated and malnourished.


    He also grew older, now looking middle-aged.


    "You had the best chance to eliminate him, but you scuffed it". Aodon said as the frown on his face became even deeper.


    "Lord 1st, I¡­"


    "Silence!" Aodon''s voice reverberated calmly but with authority.


    "¡­"


    "I don''t want to know the details, what I know is that you scuffed the best chance of eliminating him, thereby creating another menace to our governance".


    Eodon raised a finger.


    Aodon nodded.


    "This human is unlike any other human that we have faced before".


    All the other Titan Immortals kept quiet and listened to him.


    "He is far more powerful than all the special humans that we have encountered in the past, including the coward that is still in hiding for 90 years".


    "He is just different".


    "I''ve never witnessed a growing Cmity Path of his magnitude".


    "If he''s allowed to be a Cmity Grade Super with such potential, he can easily prove to be a thorn on our side".


    They looked skeptically at him.


    "Think about it, I may be the 6th Immortal but you all know my power".


    "Despite using my Yang form, he was able to escape".


    "Only that coward had ever been able to escape us when we enter our Yang form and its all because his Cmity Path is built towards escape and survival".


    "This human is different, he''s a maverick".


    "He is special".


    "We acknowledge your warnings". Bodon finally spoke, her voice exhibited a dangerous calmness to it that gave chills.


    She had a nonchnt look on her face as she spoke.


    "But¡­, rules are rules".


    "You shall be punished for failing to fulfill your duties to perfection".


    "You shall be cast into the Death Pit to serve your punishment for 3 decades, only after that will you regain your position as Titan Immortal".


    Eodon bit his lips.


    "Understood, Lord 6th?"


    Eodon bowed his head. "Yes, Lord 2nd".


    "So, Lord 1st, what is the n?" Bodon turned to look at him.


    Aodon simply looked ahead. "We keep on hunting him".


    "He will eventually make a mistake, and that is where we capitalize on it ruthlessly to finally wipe master''s world of his repulsive scent".


    "Lord 7th".


    "Yes, Lord 1st". Godon looked at him.


    "Carry on with the n, track and hunt him down".


    "And when you get the chance, don''t hesitate¡­, kill him".


    This gathering in the purple pce finally came to an end.

    ----


    BOOM!


    A Wolf slightly shaped in a humanoid form collided against a young Raptor as this ancient beast roared loudly the next moment in defiance.


    This young Grade B Raptor tried to retaliate but it didn''t get the chance.


    As soon as the pitch-ck Spear appeared, its fate was sealed.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    3 consecutive rapid stabs with the spear even as the neutral mana in the air amplified its power, but thest of the 3 stabs was even more special.


    As soon as it stabbed into the skin of this Raptor, a power erupted.


    The aggressive neutral mana flooded this beast''s body and exploded.


    The Raptor did not survive it¡­, it died instantly.


    -----

    ----


    Legs barely ended the life of this beast when he felt it¡­, goosebumps.


    His danger instincts tingled crazily but he did not panic.


    ''Finally¡­'' He had been waiting for this.


    He was in the process of removing his Obsidian Spear from the Raptor''s body when he appeared, the Titan Immortal who called himself Godon.


    She was still in the Yin female form but Legs already learned to respect them, over 40 days stuck in this dangerous taught him a lot of things and one of the most important was to never underestimate the Immortals.

    ----


    Whoosh!


    One moment, Godon arrived swiftly and the next, Legs was gone.


    He dashed with so much speed that this immortal barely missed him.


    "F*ck!" She cursed beneath her breath as she simply looked.


    She could no longer see any traces of him.


    Again, Legs snuck away.


    Again, he was gone.


    It all started 30 days ago after his near-death encounter against Eodon.


    After barely escaping with his life, Legs went into hiding. For a week, he hidpletely, content with simply observing from the dark to confirm every single information that Eodon revealed to him.


    With Christensen''s innate legacies living through him, Legs was able to barely keep himself alive as he confirmed every single information from Eodon.


    He also confirmed the location of the Titan Emperor''s pce.


    He finally confirmed the location of his reason foring here but he dared not make an appearance yet, this was because of the overwhelmingly powerful enemies that were before him in the form of the Titan Immortals.


    His path to get his goal was already clear at that point.


    To get to the Titan Emperor''s inheritance, he had to get through his Titan Immortals one way or the other despite it seeming like an impossible task.


    Having fought against Eodon, he recognized that this was a herculean task but Legs did not give up, he was never one to give up.


    He had months to n and find a solution.


    Legs'' first solution was to fortify himself.


    He recognized a truth. ''Against them now, I will only die a foolish death''.


    For another 2 weeks, from the dark, Legs went on an assassination and ability stealing mission with Warp Prime. He targeted all the fastest and most elusive beasts in Gorr as he aimed to steal their abilities.


    These 2 weeks enabled him to fully explore Gorr round.


    Considering the fact that there were Cmity Grade monsters, his mission was crazy hard but Legs was up to the task, he horded a whole bunch of new abilities and after 2 weeks, he made his first public appearance.


    By then, Godon was already assigned to hunt him down.


    He confronted this Titan Immortal in battle.


    Like the first time, nothing worked on him.


    The Titan simply would not die.


    The only difference was that when Legs finally deemed that it was time to escape, Godon could not stop him, his 2 weeks of preparation made sure of it.


    For the past week, making it a month since he met Eodon, he had been shing sporadically against Godon as he learned a whole lot about this Titan.


    During this time, he came to some conclusions.


    ''The Titans are truly immortal but that does not make them invincible''.


    A normal Super would have given up at the sight of Titans with such perverted powers but Legs was no normal Super, he was a reincarnator and not just that, he was one of the developers of Dominator.


    ''It would not make sense for any of us to create an unconquerable''.


    ''They are immortal but this is a game that I co-created''.


    ''They are not indomitable; it is inevitable that they have a weakness''.


    ''And this weakness is hidden somewhere in this''.


    ''All I need is to observe them some more and explore round this, I have enough time to do this, I believe I will get their secret and weakness''.


    He was determined to get the Titan Emperor''s inheritance.


    A week of thister though, Legs finally found his first clue and he confirmed it today. "Ymir dust¡­"


    He grinned. "That''s the secret".

 Chapter 583 Ymir dust

    583 Ymir dust


    Ymir dust.


    What was it?


    How was it connected to the Titan Immortals?


    Actually, Legs discovered this miracle dust all the way from his first encounter against a Titan Immortal though he didn''t pay attention to it then.


    During the epic sh that almost took his life about 30 days ago¡­


    After Eodon recognized his strength and went all out, entering its Yang male form to get even more power, the aura of this powerful Titan changed.


    Eodon''s aura became so powerful that it affected the surroundings.


    Legs'' Cmity Path, he named it the Cmity Path of the Arch Grandmaster.


    It was an unprecedented Cmity Path that mixed powers and focuses from the Shepherd Path, the Beast Combatant Path, the Diamond-Beast Body Path, and even the Path of the Grandmaster.


    These were the 4 main progression paths of Summoners.


    Yet, Legs mixed all these to form his own unique Cmity Path.


    It was why he saw it as a Cmity Path of the maverick.


    In his opinion, if his Cmity Path was not the strongest, it had to be very close to being the strongest cmity path that was ever created.


    Building such aplicated Cmity Path came with its disadvantages, the main being that Legs would give far more effort and time to growing it.


    Heck, even President Dunk did not believe that he could realize it.


    As for its advantage though, Legs was far stronger than his peers.


    After months of training in the hiddens of the Nak State, Legs already saw himself as the strongest Grade B Super in the Minerva Star System.


    He never expected some random Titans here to match his power.


    At that moment, when he fought against Eodon, he was in too much rage to pay attention to it since he just came close to death a moment ago.


    It was after surviving and calming down that he could finally analyze it.


    He once again used his greatest weapon, his brain.


    Like every other Super, these Titans had one of themon mainstream Cmity Paths that were recorded in the national library of the Nak State.


    They were nothing special in terms of their Cmity Paths, yet, somehow, they were able to match Legs strength for strength and blow for blow.


    This was abnormal.


    When Eodon revealed so much to him, Legs tried to rationalize it by saying that it was the battle experience of the Titan Emperor working through them.


    But after much thought, he also scrapped this idea.


    No matter how powerful and experienced the Titan Emperor was, Legs through his Cmity Path alone was already immensely powerful and over 50 years, he already built and honed hisbat instincts to a horrifying level.


    Another advantage of his was that he came from a different world.


    Having been one of the developers of Dominator, he knew about the power system of this world far more than the Titan Emperor could know.


    He knew all the 6 sses, their strengths and weaknesses.


    He refused to believe that he lost due to difference inbat experience.


    With all these obvious thought lines scrapped, Legs had only one tunnel way for his thoughts to flow towards, he had to let his brain run wild.


    The powers of the Titan Immortals were clearly not normal.


    No normal Titan would survive after having its head cut off.


    No normal Titan could switch its gender at will.


    The only question, was how do they do this?


    As he asked this, his brain flipped, he remembered something.


    ''The hourss!''


    After entering its Yang form, the hourss became a big determinant of how Eodon fought and without a doubt, this hourss controlled time powers.


    Legs also remembered something else. ''King Dunk said that the Titan Emperor mastered the incredibly rare powers of space and time''.


    Originally, this would mean a lot but not implicate much but Legs remembered something that he read in the national library of the Nak State.


    ''During the reign of the Titan and World Controller Empires, both Empires were fond of employing mages and mechanics to help build their armies''.


    ''The mechanics were responsible for building their incredible warships''.


    ''As for the mages, they built powerful magic formations''.


    ''The mages were able to create magic formations inside the powerful body of some Titans, these magic formations enabled the Titan Emperor himself to bestow some of his powers into the bodies of his strongest Generals''.


    At that thought, Legs'' eyes widened.


    ''What if, the Titan Immortals being so strong is a result of a magic formation holding a powerful ability of the Titan Emperor that powers them?''


    As he asked this, he thought back to his battle against Eodon.


    This was when he remembered Eodon in his Yang form.


    At that moment, Eodon became so powerful that his aura affected the surroundings. The hourss released so much temporal energy.


    And yet, even as everything sumbed to this power, something did not.


    Or better still, a part of the soil did not.


    Due to his heightened state of mind then, Legs noticed it. While everything else including him was engulfed by the powerful temporal power, a part of the soil was isted like its mere existence repelled this special temporal power.


    This observation brought Legs to some conclusions.


    First. ''The Titan Immortals are so strong because of the magic formation harnessing the power of the Titan Emperor that runs through them''.


    ''No normal Super can fight them toe to toe like I do''.


    ''With this magic formation active, the Titan Immortals remain Immortal''.


    ''They cannot be defeated''.


    ''They cannot be killed''.


    ''Unless, the secret lies in that isted area on the ground''.


    5 dayster after his battle against Eodon, Legs snuck back to the battlefield and he got his first encounter with the miracle substance, Ymir dust.


    Even in that swampy forest, it remained dust like it was in a desert.


    It was a small heap of dust.


    On touching it, his game interface''s notification confirmed it.


    [You havee into contact with a Grade S naturally urring mineral: Ymir Dust!]


    [You have unlocked information reveal for Ymir Dust!]


    [Price to ess contents: 10,000,000 Experience Points!]


    Legs did not hesitate, he paid the price instantly and with that, he finally got to know the secret of Ymir Dust.


    ording to his game interface, Ymir Dust was a naturally urring mineral with anti-time energy properties.


    They were a natural resource existing outside time.


    Whening into contact with time energy, time either erodes or stops.


    That was the power of Ymir Dust.


    "¡­!" Legs was shocked on getting this discovery.


    First of all, every Grade S mineral was invaluable.


    If he didn''t get anything else from his trip to Gorr, the finding of this incredible mineral resource alone meant he was a billionaire already in gctic terms but that was not his real reason foring here.


    He came here to get stronger.


    And now, with Ymir Dust, he just found a way to kill the Titan Immortals.


    Legs did not rush though; he took his time patiently.


    Over the course of 30 days, even as he killed countless fast and elusive beasts, stealing their abilities level with the help of Ak and Bran''s beast armies.


    21:04


    With this done, Legs was now super rich in gctic terms.


    to hone his survival powers, his actual greatest priority was finding reserves of this Ymir Dust.


    This was why he explored this round to its very ends.


    In 30 days, he found only 6 Ymir Dust deposits and he already mined 5 of these deposits to ground level with the help of Ak and Bran''s beast armies.


    With this done, Legs was now super rich in gctic terms.


    That was not his focus though, his focus was that he could now take on the persistent Titan Immortal, Godon and end this fa?ade once and for all.


    Having spent 40 days on this already, he had less than 30 days to pursue his actual goal foring here and he had no intentions to waste it.


    For 24 hours, Legs nned the sequences of this battle.


    He wanted there to be no mistakes.


    He wanted no deviations from the n.


    He nned meticulously and finally; it was time.


    The intended location for this battle was thest deposit of Ymir Dust that was in Gorr, and it was right there in the desert where the pce of the Titan Emperor was and the other Titan Immortals lived.


    Legs did not just n towards this fight, he also nned ahead of it.


    He wanted to start it and end it now; he wanted ess to his real goal now.


    Thump! Thump!


    Legs did it deliberately, he was calling out to the Sand Worms.


    GRRRRR¡­!!!


    The desert started shaking the next moment.


    The sand started caving in, a giant Sand Worm wasing.

    ----


    "ROARRR¡­!"


    BOOM!


    The gigantic Sand Worm stormed out of the sand the next moment, causing a lot ofmotion as without hesitation, Legs shed against it.


    Just 2 seconds after this sh started, Legs detected it.


    -----


    WARNING! Your Radar Expansion has detected an intruder!


    ----


    Godon was here.


    This Titan Immortal did not hesitate, and like Legs expected he did not also pay notice to the special kind of sand that was in this part of the desert.


    This area was filled with Ymir dust.


    Godon did not waste time though, seeing Legs struggle against the Sand Worm, his eyes gleamed. ''This is my chance!''


    He moved.


    BOOM!


    Feeling the air rumble with power, Legs'' eyes gleamed.


    Godon arrived in an instant but Legs inclined his head without fear as he looked this Titan straight in the eyes, time seemed to freeze at that moment.


    Godon felt ufortable instantly, this gaze was not normal.


    Legs smirked. "You took the bait".


    Godon''s eyes widened.

 Chapter 584 Legolas strongest state!

    584 Legs'' strongest state!


    BOOM!


    Feeling the air rumble with power, Legs'' eyes gleamed.


    Godon arrived in an instant but Legs inclined his head without fear as he looked this Titan straight in the eyes, time seemed to freeze at that moment.


    Godon felt ufortable instantly, this gaze was not normal.


    Legs smirked. "You took the bait".


    Godon''s eyes widened.


    And at that moment, Legs'' meticulous n that he had been fine-tuning for the past 24 hours yed through his mind again.


    ''First battle step, enter a heightened state of mind, manipte your senses and brain to stimte body''s full potential''.


    ''Activate passive abilities; war allies and battle controller''.


    ''Trigger passive abilities; Enhanced instincts- partial time stasis, beast sense, Predator''s best man, and all other avable passive abilities''.


    ''2nd step, in heightened state of mind,plete attack preparations''.


    ''Attack preparations include activating Beast ne Summoning active ability, fusing with all 4 contracted beasts while arraying all the tamed beasts in the Obsidian Spear hyper aggressive attack formation''.


    ''3rd step, attack''.


    ''Take full advantage of the powers of the Beast Combatant Cmity Path and use the Beast Mirage ability to confuse the senses of Godon''.


    ''Then stick like a Bull; sting like a Viper''.


    ''Then Beast Energy Extraption to determine the weakest point of the Titan Immortal where 1 attack can severely injure or kill it''.


    ''Then smearing Obsidian Spear with Ymir Dust''.


    ''Then activating Nature Connection and finally Nature''s Rage''.


    ''Then unleash the attack, finally''.


    ''4th step, the oue of 3rd step will determine 4th step''.


    ''If Godon dies, then straight to the normal 4th step and barge way into the pce of the Titan Emperor''.


    ''If Godon survives unscathed, choose from contingency ns 44 to 89''


    ''If Godon survives but is slightly injured, choose from contingency ns 20 to 43''.


    ''If Godon survives but is severely injured, choose from contingency ns 8 to 19''.


    All these recollections shed through Legs'' head in an instant.


    In that instant, the smirk remained on his face.


    In that instant, his body felt goosebumps, not out of fear but of excitement.


    Excitement of what he was about to do and achieve.


    Legs'' body entered a heightened state of excitement.


    And in that same instant, he made his move.

    ----


    BZZZ!


    Power flooded everywhere like an avnche.


    Feeling so much power batter against its face, Godon felt goosebumps and fear for the first time since it gained sentience.


    ''What is this?!'' This Titan Immortal was shocked.


    ''Is this fear?!'' He was confused.


    At this moment, time seemed so slow since Legs did so many things in so few time, it was like he already became a god of time.


    At this moment, this Titan Immortal experienced a feeling of mortal danger.


    But, this was not supposed to be possible!


    He was immortal!


    He was one of the 7 Immortal rulers delegated by the Titan Emperor!


    ''This can''t be true!'' He came to his conclusion.


    ''This can only be an illusion!'' He concluded.


    ''You can''t fool me; I will kill you for even attempting it!''


    This Titan Immortal ignored all his instincts screaming danger at him, the greatest asset that the Titan Emperor bestowed on him and the other Titan Immortals as he lunged in for an attack.


    At this moment, 2 Legs stood before Godon.


    One was the real him and the other was his doppelganger but at this moment, both of them had the same level of power.


    They both held Obsidian Spears and at this moment, they were ready.


    This was the highest level of power that he could attain at the moment.


    Thest phase of Legs'' n finally came.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Combat Master!


    You have activated Self-Created Ability: Beast Mirage!

    You have activated Self-Created Ability: Nature''s Rage!


    ----


    Legs'' eyes turned pitch-ck.


    As soon as he activated thebat master, he felt in the zone state.


    Everything else came naturally.


    He no longer paid attention to the clenched fist of the Titan Immortal that was now rushing towards his head with the intentions to kill.


    He ignored everything else in the world at this moment.


    At this moment, Legs developed narrowed focus.


    All his focus was on himself, on his Obsidian Spear, and on his abilities.


    Bzzz!


    The Beast Mirage activated.


    From 2 Void Monkey Kings, a mirage appeared as they duplicated, instantly turning to 4 and the fist of the Titan Immortal finally hit.


    BOOM!


    One of the Void Monkey Kings was obliterated with that punch.


    Yet the others stood gantly, in an attacking stance.


    Time moved so fast yet it seemed so slow.


    Having used up his force of inertia already for that punch, Gordon did not have the momentum to pull back an defend instantly, he was exposed.


    Legs'' pitch-ck eyes gleamed.


    Stick like a Bull; sting like a Viper¡­, it activated.


    Bzzz!


    A sinister energy surrounded the tip of the Obsidian Spear.


    Godon felt an unnerving feeling of being stalked by a terrifying Viper, he felt that any moment this Viper would sting him and he would die.


    Then, the Beast Energy Extraption activated.


    Beast Energy Extraption was the 3rd Unique Knowledge of the Summoner main ss, and it gave only one ability also called Beast Energy Extraption.


    Extraption means to predict by projecting past experience or known data.


    Legs have shed against Godon, not once, not even twice.


    During all these shes, he was always the one running with his tail between his legs but it was not in vain. All these shes gave him experience about Godon, it gave him data that he could work with through extraption now.


    The Beast Energy Extraption was a trump card of any Summoner that had it, they only used it when they were either about to die or they were sure that with it, they could absolutely obliterate their opponent.


    With this ability, using all the past experience and known data, a Summoner''s eyes be pitch-ck, gaining all-knowing capabilities.


    The potency of this all-knowing eyes depends on the power andplexity of the Cmity Path of the Summoner using it.


    Legs'' Cmity Path was well¡­ ground-breaking.


    BZZZ!


    His pitch-ck eyes gleamed and he saw it.


    Right there at the navel of this Titan Immortal, there was an unstable fluctuation of energy that he could have never detected with his naked eyes.


    This ce of the Titan''s body was different from the rest.


    This was the weak point!


    Everything else followed naturally.


    The Nature Connection activated alongside the Nature''s Rage Self-Created Ability and in that instant, Legs entered his strongest state possible.


    He was saturated with power.


    Grabbing his Obsidian Spear with both hands, he stretched his left leg back to get bnce as Legs used this time to smear Ymir Dust on the tip of the spear.


    Then¡­, he stabbed.


    He stabbed with all his power.


    He stabbed with all the anger and frustration that he had been bottling in since and instantly, the air shook.


    BZZZZ!


    Space and time wobbled!


    The ground cracked and caved in!


    Vibrations spread through the ground!


    That was not the shocking part though, the shocking part was that with the Ymir Dust and the sheer 21:07


    power behind the stab, the temporal energy protecting this Titan temporarily stopped as the navel Legs'' stab was aimed right at the navel of the Titan Immortal, and having used his force of inertia already, Godon could not dodge.


    Godon felt a feeling of mortal danger but he still could not dodge.


    It hit.


    BOOOOOOOM¡­!


    The sound of collision reverberated like thunder.


    When everything died down, Legs was shocked.


    At thest moment before the spear hit, Godon transformed into his Yang form and brought out his hourss but by then, it was already toote.


    The spear tore through its navel with unstoppable power.


    That was not the shocking part though, the shocking part was that with the Ymir Dust and the sheer power behind the stab, the temporal energy protecting this Titan temporarily stopped as the navel broke apart.


    Breaking apart, it revealed the internals of this Titan Immortal.


    At this moment, Godon''s stomach side was no more, the flesh was gone.


    And inside it, machinery could be seen moving about.


    And inside this machinery, Legs recognized powerful magic formations that were undoubtedly made by an immensely powerful mage.


    At this moment, Godon''s eyes flickered haphazardly.


    "Error¡­"


    "Error¡­" He muttered.


    Legs was shocked but he did not hesitate.


    The first Void Monkey King that attacked was his doppelganger.


    This time, he attacked.


    BOOM!


    Godon stood no chance.


    Machinery blew apart followed by an eruption of powerful magic energy and time energy, Godon''s reign as a Titan Immortal came to an end.


    Godon¡­ was dead.

 Chapter 585 I am the strongest Grade B Summoner alive!

    Chapter 585 I am the strongest Grade B Summoner alive!


    Legs was right.


    His theory was finally confirmed.


    BOOOOOOM¡­!


    When his doppelganger substitute struck with all its power with the Obsidian Spear at the navel of the Titan Immortal, he observed everything that happened.


    In that moment, he saw and observed a sh of opposing energies.


    Ymir dust was truly the bane of the Titan Emperor''s temporal abilities.


    Through his energy check, he was able to thoroughly observe how these 2 very distinct energies interacted with each other.


    Through his Beast Energy Extraption, he was able to tell that the navel was the weak point of this Titan Emperor and his attack confirmed it.


    No normal attack would be able to break through the navel.


    He was only able to break through the navel mostly because of the Ymir dust that he smeared on his Obsidian Spear but that was not all, it was also because of the incredible force that he was able to amass through that strike.


    When the navel broke, the truth was exposed before him.


    He confirmed it.


    The Titan Immortals were no organic living creatures.


    They were rather works of magic and machinery.


    He could tell that they were the greatest constructs of the Titan Emperor, his act of bestowing his inheritance after his death on their care said a lot about how much he rated the Titan Immortals.


    This was also in line with what he read in the national library of the Nak State that the Titan Emperor loved working with mechanics and mages.


    Seeing the internals of Godon, Legs came to a conclusion.


    The mechanic and mage who worked on these constructs were definitely above the Cmity Grade already, the Titan Emperor probably worked with a Grade S Mechanic and Mage who made this impossible construct possible.


    The mechanic created and gave them a perfect mechanical frame and covered it up with organic flesh,pletely hiding the truth.


    As for the Mage, he gave them an extremelyplicated magic formation.


    This magic formation was the engine that powered the Titan Immortals.


    This magical engine was what enabled the Titan Emperor to leave his imprint on them. Not only did he leave part of his mind on these Titan Immortals, enabling them to inherit hisbat experience, he also gave them more advantages.


    Advantages in terms of the hourss and their control over temporal energy.


    This was what made them so formidable.


    The Titan Emperor created the Titan Immortals to be so overpowered that nobody in their grades could defeat them, he called them Immortal for a reason.


    The Titan Emperor''s n was perfect¡­, almost perfect.


    What beat him was fate.


    The Titan Emperor could never have imagined that someone like Legs who would reincarnate from an entirely different world woulde to his world.


    The Titan Emperor could never have imagined that someone with Legs'' experience and knowledge about Dominator would evere to his world.


    He could never have imagined that someone confidently stupid enough to create an overlyplicated Cmity Path like Legs'' woulde to his world.


    Legs was a maverick.


    He was unlike any other before him.


    Literally, he was the strongest Grade B Summoner alive.


    This was the Titan Emperor''s only mistake¡­, Legs.


    And with that, Legs got his answer that he had been looking for since the first day that he encountered Eodon, how to kill a Titan Immortal.


    "Error¡­"


    "Error¡­" Godon''s eyes flickered as he muttered haphazardly.


    With his doppelganger having attacked already, Legs finished the job.


    BOOM!


    Godon stood no chance.


    Machinery blew apart followed by an eruption of powerful magic energy and time energy even as the hourss also tore into pieces, Godon''s reign as a Titan Immortal came to an end.


    Godon¡­ was dead.


    With Godon dead, there was a stir in Gorr.


    Deep in the desert, inside the gigantic 2-kilometer pce of the Titan Emperor, the 5 remaining free Titan Immortals were sent into a frenzy.


    Amotion started inside this royal pce.


    "Godon is dead?!" They muttered to themselves in shock and disbelief as they convened at the highest floor of this pce.


    "How is he dead?!"


    "This is impossible!"


    "We are immortal!"


    "We are supposed to be immortal!" Confusion set in.


    Amid all the confusion, they seemed about to lose it mentally but one of the Titan Immortals finally took over control, their default leader.


    "Quiet!" Aodon''s deep voice reverberated like thunder.


    "Godon is dead, we don''t know how, we don''t know why".


    "It does not matter though". His red eyes red at all his juniors.


    "What matters is that the culprit is right here in father''s desert, and as Titan Immortals representing father, it is our duty to bring an end to him".


    "This time, no single Titan Immortal will be going to him".


    "Take your weapons, we are going to battle".


    "Convene with me and let''s go out there".


    His eyes gleamed. "Let us kill this human".


    "Yes, Lord 1st". All the Titan Immortals replied respectfully.


    In no time, they geared themselves up in their armor and weapons as collectively, theyunched out of this gigantic pce the next moment.


    WHOOSH!


    Despite the great distance between where he was in the desert at this moment and the pce of the Titan Emperor, Legs still felt it.


    He felt and heard it when all the remaining Titan Immortals moved for him.


    He was not shocked though, and he was also not caught-off-guard.


    He expected this and he already nned against it.


    Looking down at the parts of Godon that were spread everywhere haphazardly, Legs moved fast as he kept every single thing in his inventory the next moment before his head geared into overdrive again.


    His n flowed through his brain again, he already mapped every scenario that was imaginable out.


    ''4th step, the oue of 3rd step will determine 4th step''.


    ''If Godon dies, then straight to the normal 4th step and barge way into the pce of the Titan Emperor''.


    ''If Godon survives unscathed, choose from contingency ns 44 to 89''


    ''If Godon survives but is slightly injured, choose from contingency ns 20 to 43''.


    ''If Godon survives but is severely injured, choose from contingency ns 8 to 19''.


    This recollection shed through his head in an instant.


    Legs'' eyes gleamed.


    "4th step". He muttered.


    "Contingency 4.5¡­" He added.


    Contingency 4.5 was for the scenario when in response to the death of Godon, all the other Titan Immortals charged out to attack him at the same time together to end his life once and for all.


    This contingency n no longer entailed him barging straight into the pce of the Titan Immortal, it became more subtle and strategic.


    Legs reacted instantly.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    BZZZ!


    Portals to the beast ne and void dimension opened and from these portals, an immenselyrge army of beasts charged out in crazy numbers.


    All these beasts instantly started mining thisst vein of Ymir dust.


    At this moment, a word that he told his student decades ago floated back to Legs'' mind. ''No matter the situation you find yourself, even in battle, never forget to make the most of it and make profit''.


    All these Ymir dusts were walking bags of gold and gctic credits.


    Summoning all these beasts to mine Ymir dust was not where he stopped though, Legs sat cross-legged in the desert the next moment in a meditating position as his mental energy spread into this desert.


    ----


    You have activated special ability: Partial Telepathy!


    You have activated special ability: Compulsion!


    ----


    Even as more beasts, bothnd and sky beasts kept oning out of the beast ne and the void dimension, Legs slowly invaded the heads of tens of thousands of beasts in this desert, bringing them to his side.


    All the time it took for them to arrive was 5 seconds.


    They literally broke the sound barrier.


    BOOM!


    The Titan Immortals were here!


    Hearing them appear, Legs'' eyes snapped open, he grinned at them.


    Then, as they red at him, about to attack, he made his move.


    Legs activated his spectral form ability first as he turned invisible.


    Then he activated the tons of abilities that he already stole since his training began that were all geared towards swift escape and stealth.


    He masked his escape with all the beasts that he summoned andpulsed.


    Literally millions of beasts filled this desert at this moment.


    There was no way the Titan Immortals could find him amid all the chaos.


    By the time that their brains finally understood his devious and clever trick, otilor, Legs was gone.


    He already arrived at the pce of the Titan Emperor.


    "Insolence!" Aodon was angered as he roared in rage.


    Turning back, all 5 Titan Immortals charged back towards the pce with desperation, rage, and humiliation evident in their eyes.


    Legs didn''t give a f*ck about them though, he observed.


    The Titan Emperor''s pce was absolutely gigantic.


    He did not have the time to observe the majesty of this pce, so he simply paid attention to where there was the most energy since he guessed that was where the true inheritance of the Titan Emperor would be hidden.


    BOOM!


    He exploded with immense speed as he scaled this pce.


    He burst through every obstacle on his way with force.


    Every door that he didn''t have the key to was destroyed.


    In less than a second, he arrived at the room, a transparent room.


    Powerful temporal energy flowed out of this room, flooding this whole pce and in extension the whole space pocket world.


    A corpse of an absolutely gigantic Titan was in the middle of this room sitting cross-legged with an even expression on his face.


    Even in death, this Titan had a dignified look on his face.


    He looked royalty.


    This was the Titan Emperor.


    His corpse¡­ was hisst inheritance to all Titans in the world.


    BZZZ!


    A powerful energy erupted from this corpse the next moment.


    Legs felt his heart freeze.


    Words appeared in the air.


    [Scanning for bloodline¡­]


    [Please wait¡­]


    [Bloodline detected: Offspring of the Titan Race!]


    [Congrattions! You are eligible for the Emperor''s Inheritance!]


    Bzzz!


    A gigantic blue shield appeared the next moment, isting Legs alongside the Titan Emperor''s corpse just as the Titan Immortals finally arrived.


    "NOOOO¡­!" Aodon roared angrily but he dared not attack the shield.


    It was already toote; the corpse already epted the daring human.


    Legs finally got his goal foring to Gorr.


    He inclined his head to look into the eyes of the 1st Titan Immortal, he smirked. "Remember this¡­"


    "I am the strongest Grade B Summoner alive".


    he smirked. "Remember this¡­"

 Chapter 586 Inheritance of the Titan Emperor

    Chapter 586 Inheritance of the Titan Emperor


    Aodon red at the intruder inside the shield, he bubbled in rage.


    Legs smirked as he looked back at him. "Remember this¡­"


    "I am the strongest Grade B Summoner alive¡­"


    "¡­!" Aodon bubbled with even more rage but he could do nothing.


    Legs finally ignored this Titan Immortal.


    Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath.


    "Over 40 days¡­" He muttered to himself.


    It took him over 40 days to get to this point.


    40 days of fighting against historic beasts, fighting Titanoboas, almost dying to Eodon, going into hiding and stealing abilities for a living.


    40 days of hiding and nning hiseback.


    40 days of mining Ymir dust.


    It all culminated in his showdown against Godon.


    Like he vowed after his near-death experience with Eodon, he finally achieved it, he finally did it and killed a f*cking Titan Immortal.


    Yet, that was not his greatest achievement.


    His greatest achievement was making it to this ce.


    This was his goal from the very beginning, the inheritance of the Titan Emperor, Legs felt a rxing feeling of fulfillment fill his being.


    He grinned. "I love winning".


    After basking in the feeling of winning, Legs finally focused.


    ''I have less than 30 days remaining here¡­''


    His eyes gleamed. ''That should be more than enough time for me to get something out of the Titan Emperor''s inheritance''.


    ''So¡­, what is it?'' He paid attention to the corpse.


    At this close range, Legs felt the majesty of this incredible Titan more.


    Even in death, he was a true Gigachad warrior.


    He had scars across his body, most probably scars that he gained from his deadly battle against the Emperor of the World Controller Empire.


    This was when he also noticed the eyes of the Titan Emperor.


    Legs was stunned. ''Did he lose his eyes in the decisive battle?''


    At this moment, in the ce of the eyes of this Emperor, what were there instead were simply dark holes that seemed to lead into an infinite space.


    Staring at them for long, Legs began to feel dizzy.


    He felt that he would be dragged into an infinite spatial world if he kept on staring at it, he averted his gaze then he observed the Titan him.


    12:36


    Emperor again.


    Apart from the dignified look in this Titan Emperor''s face despite hisck of eyes at this moment, there was nothing special about him.


    No special weapon, not even an hourss or anything of the sort was attached to this Emperor, his corpse was the only thing here.


    Legs looked around the confines of the shield, there was truly nothing else, then he focused on the gigantic corpse again.


    His eyebrows raised as disappointment set in. "This is the inheritance?"


    "The corpse is the inheritance?"


    "What can I get from it?"


    Legs took a deep breath to calm himself down.


    He refused to believe that his efforts were wasted.


    His rationality told him that he was missing something.


    ''Is this not the inheritance?''


    ''Is there some other requirement that I need to fulfill to ess the actual inheritance?''


    ''No!'' He refused. ''If this was not the inheritance, then why on earth will the reaction of the Titan Immortals be so extreme?''


    ''They are machines Afterall, I doubt they can fake their feelings enough to fool me, their emotions of rage are definitely genuine''. Legs inclined his head to look at the angry Titan Immortals again and he confirmed it.


    Looking back at the corpse, he frowned.


    ''But why?'' His eyes widened as soon as he asked this question.


    ''Since the battle to the death between the 2 Emperors of old, the ''What if even the Titan Immortals do not know the true inheritance of the Titan Emperor?''


    ''But why?'' His eyes widened as soon as he asked this question.


    ''Since the battle to the death between the 2 Emperors of old, the Titan race survived but the same could not be said about the World Controller Empire''.


    ''The Nak State library records that they became extinct''.


    ''What if¡­, they actually never became extinct and rather went into hiding?'' Legs'' eyes widened as this thought crossed his head.


    ''What if hiding his true inheritance from his own Titan Immortals was a precaution to protect it from the ws of the World Controller Empire?''


    Legs'' frown deepened. ''It seems to make sense but¡­, it also doesn''t''.


    Legs observed the gigantic corpse again. ''What if the corpse is the true inheritance?''


    ''What if only a true descendant of the Titan race like Uranus can ess it?''


    The spections in his mind were too much, Legs cursed. ''Foolish Emperor!''


    ''Why won''t he provide a guide to direct his future inheritors of his legacy?''


    Legs was paranoid for some time.


    His increased paranoia at this moment was partly due to all the efforts and time he took to arrive here; he didn''t want to entertain the thought that everything was just waste in the end.


    Another reason for his paranoia was the Titan Immortals.


    Having seen him fight before, when the shield finally left, they would be better prepared to face him in battle and not make any mistakes this time.


    Unless a miracle happened and he became stronger, he would die.


    This was what put him under so much pressure at this moment.


    ''There must be an inheritance!''


    ''There must be!''


    A few minutester, Legs took another deep breath.


    He forced himself to calm down again.


    Then closing his eyes, he forced himself into a state of meditation.


    At this moment, Legs suddenly felt funny, he remembered over 56 years ago, when he met Christensen and started his very first training under him.


    In an ind then in Darvis, right after Christensen''s mental simtion training to fight an invisible enemy alongside Leo, his first contracted beast.


    He could remember vividly his student sitting opposite him.


    ''The meditation session is very important for your training''.


    ''Unlike normal humans, superhumans gain even more from meditation''.


    ''It helps hone concentration, our control over contracted beasts, and it even improves discipline to prioritize and stop certain things like now''.


    ''When you start meditating to a high enough level, you won''t be carried away by your training again. You''ll know when to train and when to stop''.


    ''Remember, rest is also an essential part of training''.


    ''Most importantly, meditation helps in honing and increasing our Summoner energy, it is the most efficient way to recover and draw in mana''.


    ''Without learning how to utilize your Summoner energy smartly, you can never be a great Summoner''.


    ''Now, imitate my actions''. Legs took the lead for Christensen.


    ''Yes Master''. Christensen replied respectfully.


    Then, he sat down cross-legged before focusing and closing his eyes. Christensen imitated him and they just stayed like that for the next 1 minute.


    After a minute, he started speaking again. ''Meditation simply entails forgetting all about the world, forgetting everything and focusing on yourself''.


    ''When you concentrate on yourself, you''ll see things beyond the natural''.


    ''Do you see anything?''


    ''No¡­, not yet¡­'' Christensen tried to focus more then he gasped in shock. ''Yes master, I see something, a white energy covering my abdomen''.


    ''That is your summoner energy''.


    ''Through meditation, focus on your energy and try to harness it. Once you do, push it and make it to start revolving in a clockwise direction''.


    ''This is how superhumans meditate''.


    ''Yes Master''. Christensen focused and tried doing as he was instructed.


    As this memory floated back to Legs'' head, instinctively, a smile came over his face as he started following the same instructions that he gave.


    He concentrated fully on himself.


    In this state of concentration, a lot of things that his brain normally filtered out automatically started bing clearer to him.


    Legs saw his summoner energy revolving.


    He noticed how big it was nowpared to before.


    Compared to when he taught Christensen the act of meditation, if his summoner energy then was like a bowl of water, his summoner energy now was akin to a gigantic ocean being epassed by a bright sun.


    It was an incredible sight and experience.


    Apart from his summoner energy, Legs was also able to observe his revolving mental energy.


    A normal super could not observe their mental energy, Legs could only do this at this moment due to gaining the powers of Telekinesis and Telepathy.


    These 2 abilities massively improved his mental capacities beyond the normal and was why he was now able to track his mental energy now.


    Apart from these 2 energies, Legs also noticed another energy.


    Natural energy¡­, it was the neutral mana that revolved in the atmosphere.


    The natural neutral mana in his body was very small.


    But, as he observed, he could feel a pull.


    It was like a drop of water being attracted by the wide ocean out there.


    Legs could not control himself; he followed this pull instinctively as his attention finally left his body alone and went outwards.


    Legs was instantly exposed to an ocean of neutral mana.


    BOOM!


    They smashed against his small neutral mana with force.


    At this moment, he felt like a little rocking boat stuck in a storm.


    The surprising thing though was that Legs did not lose his concentration. Even in this state, surprisingly, he was able to keep his concentration.


    He already entered a special state of zone that he could not exin.


    In this state, he navigated the ocean of neutral mana.


    In that state of meditation, 24 hours passed.


    During this time, Legs kept on observing the 3 distinct energies and finally, he had a breakthrough.


    Legs felt that a dam was just broken in his body.


    The flow of neutral mana in the air became clearer to him.


    His world seemed to have been a world of gray previously.


    But now, he finally upgraded to a world of HD quality.


    Everything felt so new and novel to him.


    He was amazed.


    His connection to the neutral mana in the air became stronger, and instinctively, Legs could tell that his self-created abilities that relied on neutral mana like Nature Connection and the others just became stronger.


    This unexpected breakthrough did not affect his state of concentration though, instead it made him even more concentrated.


    And this was when he discovered it¡­, a new type of energy.


    Legs was curious and excited.


    What type of energy is it this time?


    He honed his concentration on this energy and it resisted like a slippery eel, this strange energy proved to be the hardest of all the energies to understand.


    Legs spent 2 full days simply observing this strange energy, of course, he was not conscious of how much time passed since he was so concentrated.


    On the 3rd day of his observation, making it the 4th day since he started his meditation, Legs finally discovered what type of energy that it was.


    ''Temporal energy!'' He eximed in his mind.


    Temporal energy unlike anything that he ever expected.


    He could not tell its origin but there was a river of temporal energy flooding everywhere at this moment.


    It was thick, oppressive, and powerful.


    Legs was curious to know its origin, he actively searched for its origin.


    He felt that it was close by but he could not detect it immediately.


    It took him 5 whole hours but he did it.


    Legs finally detected the origin.


    The origin was¡­, the Titan Emperor!

 Chapter 587 Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac

    <h4>Chapter 587 Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac</h4>


    It took 5 long hours but Legs finally found the origin.


    The origin was the Titan Emperor.


    Legs focused on this corpse.


    He didn''t just focus on the physical body at this moment, instead, with his new senses, he concentrated and traced the lines of temporal energy.


    It took him a few more minutes but he found their deeper origin.


    All these temporal energies indeed originated from the Titan Emperor.


    And in his body, they originated from his navel.


    ''The same as the Titan Immortals''. His eyes lit up.


    ''So, is this the inheritance?'' He thought.


    Legs did not specte further, he tried to ess inside this navel but there was a resistance. His concentration seemed too weak to prate it.


    He did not give up though, he persevered.


    10 minutester¡­


    WHOOM!


    Legs was knocked unconscious instantly.


    Legs did not know what happened but the 5 Titan Immortals who had been watching every action of his for the past few days saw it.


    There was an eruption of temporal energy and this knocked him unconscious. They felt even more angry as they saw this.


    Legs woke up inside his consciousness, in a small rural room where he lied down on a wooden bed thinking of nothing.


    Only his Obsidian Spear was beside his wooden bed.


    At this moment, a consciousness invaded Legs'' mind.


    Bzzz!


    "¡­!" Legs was rmed.


    Whoosh!


    Reacting instantly, Legs got to his feet, grabbing his Obsidian Spear in the process as with all his power, he stabbed at the intruder the next moment.


    "Self-Created Ability: Nature Connection!"


    "Self-Created Ability: Nature''s Rage!"


    The air vibrated with power.


    But inches away from this intruder''s chest, the spear stopped.


    It was like an invisible energy blocked it or more like it stopped in time.


    Legs'' eyes widened, he finally looked up to see a smiling face.


    It was a familiar face; it was the corpse.


    The only difference though was that here, the Titan Emperor was not dead. He was alive and well and he had a bright smile on his face at this moment.


    His red stony skin felt powerful and full of vitality.


    He wore huge red royal robes with gold ornaments around his neck, he had a golden scepter on his right hand including a gigantic hourss that floated before him. The most prominent of all was his golden crown.


    Despite the smile on his face, a mere look at his face told Legs of the countless battles and wars that this Titan warrior had been through.


    He was a true war veteran; his countless body scars proved it.


    His huge ck beards made him look more like a barbarian here.


    "Hahaha¡­!" Heughed heartily. "You finally calmed down".


    He looked down at this human with a kind smile. "Don''t be scared, I won''t kill you just because you are a human".


    Legs instinctively thought of the Titan Immortals on hearing this.


    "Emm¡­" The Titan Emperor blushed. "Actually, that is not my problem, it''s the fault of that damn old mechanic and his faulty programming".


    "I warned him¡­", He sighed.


    "Anyways, I don''t believe that my powers are relics that should only be exclusive to the Titan race, other race are also eligible to ess them".


    "Despite that though, I am no good Samaritan".


    "It is only natural for me to favor my race above any other race".


    "That is why I imposed the restriction of only those with the Titan bloodline to ess my inheritance. It doesn''t matter if you are a human or ogre, so long you have a tiny bit of the Titan bloodline, you are eligible".


    "And after what you did to my Titan Immortals, I am more than convinced that you are the ideal inheritor that I have been waiting for".


    The Titan Immortal cleared his throat. "You may know already but as is customary, I shall introduce myself".


    "I am Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac". His voice reverberated with power. "The founder and ruler of the Ancient Titan Empire".


    "I believe you have heard of how I died".


    "The stories are right; I was not able to set up a proper inheritance for my race and hence I settled for this".


    "What is before you right now are only a remnant consciousness".


    "I only have the energy to grant 3 lucky Titan bloodline carriers with my inheritance, and this is 1 of the 3 remnant consciousnesses tasked with the job".


    "You are the first one to make it this far".


    "If you seed, you shall be my first true inheritor".


    "Yes, like you already guessed, my corpse is my inheritance".


    This Emperor''s eyebrows rose the next moment. "Are you not curious?"


    He grinned. "How I was able to stop your spear without moving".


    "You are a Grade S Titan".


    "Was". The Titan Emperor raised a finger for emphasis. "My current consciousness barely has power on par with a peak Cmity Grade A+ Super".


    "Anyways, that''s not what I''m driving at, what I''m driving at is that I only faced you with Grade B+ energy, corresponding with your grade".


    Legs'' eyes widened. "This¡­"


    The Emperor grinned. "My temporal powers are my inheritance".


    "The ability that I used to stop your spear; I call it the Temporal Domain".


    "At first, I called it Temporal Control; Pause".


    "As my temporal abilities and control grew, it metamorphosized and I changed its name, calling it Temporal Control; Pause- Variation".


    "After this, it metamorphosized after I became a Grade S Super, then, I changed the name and called it the Time Bomb".


    "After I became an Emperor, it metamorphosized again".


    He grinned again. "Then, I called it the Temporal Domain".


    "Temporal Control; Pause, its initial stage when activated enables me to pause time for 4 seconds within my vicinity, enabling me to do anything while all my enemies and everything else pauses in time".


    "Temporal Control; Pause- Variation enabled me to do exactly the same thing as the initial stage ability after activation but with add-ons".


    "It metamorphosized".


    "I added variation because this time, it is no longer just within my vicinity, I can extend the range of effect of the time pause and I can also control it towards any location so long as it is within my visual range".


    "Time Bomb was my peak of temporal ability at some point".


    "When activated, my temporal abilities detonates like a bomb and it can cover a region of 1 or severals".


    "In this region, everything freezes in time".


    "In this region, I am Lord".


    "In this region, I am God".


    The eyes at which the Titan Emperor looked at Legs changed, Legs briefly felt his heart beat until the Emperorughed heartily the next moment.


    "As for thest variation of this ability of mine before death, like I said, I called it Temporal Domain".


    "Thisst variation could do everything that the previous variations could do but with add-ons, powerful add-ons".


    "First, the energy consumption became far lower".


    "Second, it developed into a domain. The region of the time bombses under my control, I am omniscient and omnipresent in this domain".


    "I can see anything and can control anything and anyone below my level".


    "Thirdly, when fighting against immensely powerful enemies, this domain condenses around my body, forming ast stage of defense for me".


    "When your spear struck, it paused because it hit the barrier of my temporal domain, anything thates to this domain stops in time".


    This Emperor grinned the next moment. "This specific ability of mine gave Nico Guaguam lots of problems then, they enabled me end his life".


    "Andstly, this temporal ability of mine no longer remained an active ability, it became a passive ability".


    "Temporal Domain is always active; it is now a passive ability".


    "¡­" By now, Legs'' jaws were dropped in shock.


    As a Cmity Grade Summoner in his previous life, he had been exposed to Grade S Supers slightly and even he could tell that this level of power was ridiculous most especially in the Beyond Grade A realm.


    Seeing his reaction, Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac chuckled.


    "Temporal Domain is just one of my countless temporal abilities".


    "In my heyday, I was the king of time though I cannot boast the same about my spatial powers before the Space Emperor".


    Legs'' eyes widened even more; greed appeared.


    He wanted these abilities.


    He was wary, he tried to school his expressions but he failed as this Emperor saw through them.


    "It''s ok". Heughed. "I would be shocked if you did not desire this power".


    "Well, congrattions, this is my inheritance".


    "My consciousness right here shall be your teacher for the foreseeable future, you can only leave after youprehend at least 2 of my initial stage temporal abilities".


    "Count yourself lucky, many sought this opportunity but never got it".


    "Through a special magic formation, I turned my corpse into a nexus of temporal energy, all you need to do is narrow your focus on it and observe it while I give you pointers on my abilities".


    "With your talent, it shall not take you too long toprehend 2 of my initial stage temporal abilities".


    Legs'' eyes widened, he finally understood.


    He looked at this Titan Emperor with determination in his eyes the next moment. "I shall do it!"


    In his mind, he calcted. ''I have only about 20 days remaining¡­''


    ''I can do it within this time''.


    ''I must!''


    ''My power will be even more formidable if I seed!''


    Bzzz!


    Legs'' consciousness returned to his body the next moment.


    Inside his mind, he could feel a new presence.


    The presence of his new teacher.


    ''I''m ready!'' Legs focused on the corpse of the Titan Emperor.


    His newest training started.

 Chapter 588 Master Gustacus Dodomaniac; Training!

    <h4>Chapter 588 Master Gustacus Dodomaniac; Training!</h4>


    -----


    You have been affected by a Passive Ability: Temporal Domain!


    You have been affected by slow time!


    [WARNING! Your perception of time is now different from reality, time will flow far slower than you are used to.]


    ----


    Legs saw first-hand the power of Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac.


    No, now it was Master Gustacus Dodomaniac.


    It was just his domain but, in this domain, like the Emperor said previously, everything indeed came under his control including time.


    At this moment, Legs was seated cross-legged before the corpse of the Titan Emperor even as the Emperor''s consciousness floated before him.


    Outside the shield, the 5 Titan Immortals prostrated respectfully without uttering a word as Legs'' training started.


    "Time is change, or the interval over which change urs".


    This powerful Emperor rubbed his beard. "This is the basic definition of time but over my years of studying and mastering my affinity over time, I came to my own definition that I believe more".


    "Time is the measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues".


    "Time is the reason why every ability has a cooldown".


    "There are some abilities that when activated, can onlyst a certain period of time and those that can only be used again after a certain period".


    "The existence of this proves the existence of the power of time".


    "Time is omnipresent".


    "Time is everywhere, to harness its power is a different thing though". Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac stared at his student.


    "To harness the power of time, one must have patient".


    "Afterall, the two most powerful warriors are patience and time".


    "You need to build your patience, you need to master the art of serenity and nothingness, the art of being unfazed in the face of moving time".


    "Time waits for no one¡­, you have to adapt to it".


    "Do not worry about time, I have control over it".


    "All I want from you is to continue in your state of meditation. Forget about everything, even time and just observe the properties of the energy that is constantly being emitted by my corpse".


    Legs did just that, with his eyes closed he focused on the corpse.


    Over his days of trying to find the true inheritance, he already honed his concentration to a horrifying level where he was able to sense temporal energy.


    This helped his meditation and made his work easier at this moment.


    Legs'' sole attention became focused on the temporal energy.


    He observed as the red energy oozed out of the corpse.


    He observed its properties.


    He observed as it interacted with the atmosphere.


    He observed as it interacted with the neutral mana in the atmosphere.


    In this state of observation, Legs soon lost himself in it.


    He forgot why he was here, he forgot who he was, he forgot why he was doing what he was doing, he just knew that he had to observe this special energy.


    He lost perception of time and space.


    At this moment, he had narrowed focus.


    No distracting thoughts flowed through his mind, he was barely sentient at this moment as his sole existence seemed to be wired to observing temporal energy. It was almost like a robot.


    Only the sporadic words of his master kept on echoing in his head at intervals.


    "Time is the wisest counsellor of all".


    "With more time, you can better refine your decisions".


    "With more time, the good can be great".


    "With more time, the great can be all-time greats".


    "With more time, perhaps, I would have be one of the greatest Grade S Supers alive and may have even touched on the legendary tip of ascension".


    "With less time, things can go wrong".


    "With less time, perhaps I would have never been able to set up an inheritance to continue my legacy before dying".


    "With less time, perhaps you would have died to my Titan Immortals before ever making it to my corpse".


    "There are too many variations to time".


    "That is why we are always a ve to time until we learn to control it".


    "Feel it¡­"


    "Live it¡­"


    "Harness it¡­"


    Legs did not know how much time passed already, he just kept on observing the red temporal energy flowing out of this corpse.


    After the words this time though, something changed in him.


    ''Feel it¡­'' He repeated in his mind.


    Suddenly, he could no longer observe the energy.


    He could feel it!


    He could feel the temporal energy moving round his body, he could feel it permeating into his skin, he could feel it affecting the universe itself.


    At this moment, he seemed to gain x-ray eyes.


    He was able to observe the subtle changes in his body.


    He was able to observe the subtle differences as time slowly affected his body, bringing about change.


    It was slow but with more time, this change would culminate with time which would result in his eventual old age and possibly, death.


    This realization and feeling opened Legs'' eyes.


    ''Live it¡­'' He thought.


    Live it¡­, he did not know what this meant.


    He thought to no avail so in the end, he simply decided to be patient.


    He just kept on basking in the presence of this energy.


    After what felt like a long time, he felt something change.


    The temporal energy became slightly physical.


    It touched his skin!


    ''What is this feeling?'' He was amazed.


    Then¡­


    ''Harness it¡­'' He tried to harness it.


    Molding his consciousness into what seemed like a hand, Legs tried to grab a chunk of this temporal energy¡­, he almost seeded.


    But like a slippery eel, the temporal energy slipped out of his grasp.


    Ignoring all the others, his consciousness went after this chunk of energy.


    He pursued relentlessly but he seemed to never catch up.


    This was when the voice reverberate again.


    "Lost time is never found again".


    "The past is the past".


    "Move on from it and focus on the future, time¡­"


    "Time is unlimited".


    "There is always time".


    Endrick''s braincells geared on hearing these words.


    ''Lost time is never found again¡­''


    ''Time is unlimited¡­''


    ''There is always time¡­''


    Bzzz!


    This realization changed something in his mind.


    Epiphany!


    Legs had another epiphany.


    For the first time since his training started, Legs opened his eyes again.


    Even with his eyes open, his concentration was still sharp enough to feel the fluctuations and movement of the temporal energy.


    Then, he tried to grab this energy with his mental power again.


    This time, it was effortless.


    Legs was able to hold time energy.


    Finally, he was able to harness time energy.


    BOOM!


    Suddenly, Legs'' mental energy space opened as arge chunk of the temporal energy being emitted by the corpse rushed into his head.


    He felt a resistance at first but his Titan bloodline stirred.


    His head epted it as temporal energy rushed in.


    While this happened, his game interface lit up with notifications.


    -----


    [Congrattions! You have mastered the essence of time energy!]


    [You have understood the concept of Unlimited Time!]


    [You have understood the concept of Degradation!]


    [You have unlocked a Special Bloodline Ability: Rewind; Degradation!]


    >Rewind; Degradation: When activated, across a region of 1 kilometer when target is confirmed, time rewinds on target object, degrading said object to more basic forms that were present during its creation<


    [NOTE: This ability can only be used on objects like weapon and armor.]


    ----


    Even as more temporal energy flooded into his head, Legs felt his body and mind changing in a fundamental manner.


    He could feel a hidden potential awakening in his mind.


    And finally, he stopped.


    Legs looked at his hand, he opened his right fist and red energy gathered around it as the air stirred in the presence of this energy.


    He essed his inventory and brought out a basic knife.


    He activated his new ability and used it on this knife.


    Bzzz!


    Instantly, the knife started degrading.


    In just 2 seconds, this knife turned into raw steel and 2 other materials.


    Seeing this, Legs'' eyes shone brightly.


    "Hehe¡­" Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac chuckled.


    Legs raised his head to look at him.


    "You just mastered one of my greatest abilities ever".


    "During my ultimate battle against Nico Guaguam, I used this specific ability to turn his infamous Armor of Annihtion into scrap metal".


    "His famed forcefield defense became nothing before me after that". He said loudly as he glowed with pride.


    "Hahaha¡­" This Emperorughed heartily as he seemed to remember memories of his glory days in his prime.


    "You know, the history of this ability of mine is interesting".


    "When I was still a Cmity Grade, a team of World Controllers once kidnapped me and kept me in a hidden underground bunker".


    "They threatened to use me as a bargaining chip to scam my race since I was seen as the most promising warrior of the Titan Race then".


    "Of course, as a Titan, I hated to be used as a bargaining chip".


    "I was desperate to get out".


    "Desperation pushed me into creating this ability".


    "Guess what?"


    "You turned all their weapons to scrap metal". Legs guessed.


    "No". Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac grinned. "I turned their full underground metal bunker into scrap metal, all their prisoners escaped".


    "Hahaha¡­, I was invincible then man". Heughed heartily.

 Chapter 589 Time

    Chapter 589 Time


    Deep in unexplored space, a lone spaceship floated¡­


    {Radioactivity Levels: 82%...}


    {Spatial Storm: 44%...}


    {Temporal Storm: 56%...}


    {Asteroid Activity: Normal}


    The diamond formation of asteroids continued floating in this unexplored space peacefully like they hid no secret and were normal asteroids even as the radioactivity level spiked at intervals.


    Modern spaceships had different kind of advanced scanners to pinpoint regions of space that they were not allowed to pass through during travels.


    Some of these scanners were optimized to detect unusual gathering of spatial energy that could induce spatial storms, others for temporal storms, and the mostmon were those optimized to detect radioactivity levels.


    25% was the widely epted standard for spatial energy in space, but at this moment in this location, the spatial energy already exceeded 40%.


    If it got to 50%, a mini spatial storm could ur.


    If it exceeded 60%, a real spatial storm may ur.


    As for the temporal energy, the standard in space was 20% but at this moment in this location, temporal energy here already exceeded 50%.


    Few temporal storms were recorded in the history of the Nak State but those few that were recorded, one thing wasmon of them all, they were vastly more devastating than any spatial storm ever recorded.


    Temporal energy needed to exceed at least 80% to induce a temporal storm.


    The scanners of the spaceship kept on scanning everywhere.


    BEEP!


    {Temporal Storm: 57%}


    "Captain¡­" The analyst called the attention of the captain of the spaceship.


    The captain nodded. "I can see it".


    "Don''t worry, keep on paying attention to the readings¡­" He looked outside at the diamond formation of asteroids through the see-through screen of the spaceship. "It''s not yet at a dangerous threshold".


    "We''ll hold our position and keep on waiting".


    "That is our mission".


    This was the spaceship that was sent by President Dunk himself to escort Legs in his training, and today was the 7th day since they started waiting.


    At this moment, inside the spaceship, a giant clock hovered.


    {03:45:23}


    The countdown started a few hours ago.


    Every crew member of this spaceship even as they continued engaging in various activities in this spaceship, they also paid attention to the time.


    It was remaining just 3 hours before the time period psed.


    6 days ago, their patron left and sessfully entered the inheritance space pocket of the Titan Emperor. As was agreed, they had been waiting patiently and today was the final day of their wait.


    It was not yet time, the captain of this spaceship was patient.


    The remaining 3 hours rolled over like it was an instant.


    Instead, it was the remaining 45 minutes that seemed even longer.


    While they waited, the state-of-the-art scanners of the spaceship continued sting everywhere at full power, scouring this region of space for any unusual fluctuations.


    They were not sure how Legs would be able toe out but they simply did their best, searching for any unusual signals.


    Their wait did not bear fruit though.


    The time finally psed.


    Before the captain could make any decision, he received a call.


    BEEP!


    {Iing Call from President Dunk!}


    Seeing the projection of the A.I, this captain''s eyes widened.


    This would be his first directmunication with the President of his state.


    "Hello, good day Mr. President".


    "Good evening". The President''s voice was calm and inviting.


    He did not beat around the bush though; he went straight to the point.


    "Legs is not back?"


    "No sir".


    He waited a few seconds before he replied. "Ok¡­, wait 5 more days".


    "If he doesn''t return,e to Nak with the spaceship".


    "Yes, Mr. President".


    Beep!


    The call came to an end and the wait continued.


    Every day, this captain paid attention, waiting, hoping yet no signs came.


    And in the blink of an eye, it was 5 days.


    He had no choice, he had to leave.


    "I really wished that you survived¡­" He paid hisst respects to the hardworking Summoner that he was privileged to meet.


    He finally focused on his spaceship.


    "Move out!"


    "We''re going to Nak".


    ¡­


    Nak, the Presidential building¡­


    Inside the office of the President, apart from President Dunk himself, at this moment, 2 of his Admirals were currently in his office with him.


    Chief Admiral Greg and Admiral Zhao were present.


    "Sigh¡­" President Dunk released an audible sigh as he stood up and went up to the window of his office through which he looked at the Presidential building.


    The Presidential building of Nak State was gigantic, it was majestic.


    It was a beautiful sight but the look in his eyes was a sad one.


    This was because at this moment, his brain yed tricks on him and everything were up in mes, the Presidential building was burning to the ground.


    He sighed again and without turning, he spoke.


    "The heat of the Beast Coalition is ramping up".


    "Their attacks are bing more frequent¡­"


    "The Shelter Priest sessfully stole another chunk of a under our rule, resulting in the death of hundreds of thousands in the process¡­"


    "One of our Admirals was left terribly injured from the attack¡­"


    He sighed again. "And now, Legs is nowhere to be seen".


    "Haha¡­" He chuckled mirthfully. "It''s like the universe is throwing a punishment at me because of sins that Imitted in my past life".


    The 2 Admirals remained silent.


    "Time¡­" He sighed once again. "Time is not on our side".


    "The more time they have, the stronger the Beast Coalition bes".


    "It''s like they''re not scared of provoking us into a full-blown war".


    "What is that crazy leader of theirs thinking?"


    "If he really intends to build an empire for beasts, can''t he do it in peace? Is he so foolish to think entering a war is the optimal way to achieve his goal?!" His voice sounded agitated and Chief Admiral Greg finally spoke.


    "Our options are not over yet". This Admiral said coldly.


    "If Legs is really dead¡­"


    "Legs is alive". Admiral Zhao interjected.


    Chief Admiral Greg paused before he continued. "If Legs is really dead, our options are not yet over, we''ll just have to ept the heavier losses".


    "Like you said, time is our greatest enemy".


    "Instead of allowing the Beast Coalition to grow even stronger, I say we make use of our alliance with the Ackermann State now tounch a full-scale war".


    "They are powerful but they can''t withstand ourbined might".


    "With some sacrifices, we will obliterate the terrorists once and for all".


    "That is exactly what they want". Admiral Zhao interjected again. "Do you really believe that the beasts grew so strong right under our nose alone?"


    "An external power surely helped them".


    "It may be your friends from the Bogor Star System, who knows".


    Chief Admiral Greg looked at Admiral Zhao. "So, what do you suggest?"


    "We wait". Admiral Zhao replied immediately.


    "Though I cannot im that I know Legspletely, I have known him for a long time already and what I learned about him is that he never gives up".


    "Besides, he''s not someone that dies after every single deadly challenge".


    "He''s a survivor".


    "He has survived odds that were far more perilous than this".


    "This is why I believe that he is still alive".


    Chief Admiral Greg red at Admiral Zhao. "You want to ce the fate and survival of the Nak State on your intuition and feeling?!"


    "Are you ready to face the consequences?"


    Admiral Zhao did not answer him, he rather looked at the President.


    The both of them were just advisors, the real decision maker was still in the end the President of Nak State. All the decision-making power was in his hand and their next course of action was also dependent on him.


    "Sigh¡­," President Dunk sighed again.


    "Legs is a tenacious kid".


    "I learned this through his training".


    "Apart from his ridiculous talent, perhaps the best that I have ever seen, what impressed me most about him is his incredible mentality".


    He looked at Admiral Zhao. "Indeed, he''s a survivor".


    "I will ce my bet on him".


    President Dunk steeled his facial expression as he inclined his head to look at his Chief Admiral. "We will wait for Legs for a further 3 months".


    "If he is not back by then¡­" He turned his back to his 2 Admirals again as he faced the window. "Then, we fight".


    "I will personally dere war on the terrorists then". His eyes gleamed.

 Chapter 590 Temporal storm!

    Chapter 590 Temporal storm!


    2 monthster, deep in unexplored space¡­


    The lone spaceship that hovered here a few months ago was gone.


    Only asteroids now filled this location in space, but amid this diamond formation of asteroids, a new asteroid that was not there before hid.


    This was a gigantic oval-shaped asteroid that blend seamlessly with the others. It looked like a normal asteroid but it was a mechanical construct.


    This was one of Admiral Zhao''s greatest mechanic constructs.


    It was a mechanical city housing an army of mechanical soldiers.


    After President Dunk''s decision to wait for a further 3 months, Admiral Zhao took on the job of watching over this special hidden inheritance of the Nak State.


    To prevent suspicions was why he brought this mechanical construct, 99.9% of scanners avable to the Nak and Ackermann States could not discover this mechanic city, it was that hidden.


    At this moment, the mechanical soldiers inside this mechanic city kept on working hard, doing different activities to power the scanners of this city.


    They scoured the surrounding hundreds of kilometers in space in search of any signs indicating that the target was back.


    The target was the summoner, Legs.


    This was the normal job given by their creator, and their army Captain, the mechanical Canon Launcher Pok, was the leader of this city andmander of this special operation.


    At this moment though, panic was seeping into this mechanical city.


    {Radioactivity Levels: 88%...}


    {Spatial Storm: 46%...}


    {Temporal Storm: 68%...}


    {Asteroid Activity: Unstable}


    ***


    {WARNING! Temporal energy has exceeded safety limits!}


    {WARNING!}


    {WARNING!}


    ¡­


    Pok was a tiny looking mechanical soldier.


    In this mechanical city where the average soldier was taller than any human or Nak warrior out there, Pok stood at just 3 feet tall.


    Despite his size, his mechanical face was the unsmiling one of a sternmander. This was not even his most intimidating aspect.


    His most intimidating aspect was his weapon, the Star Crusher.


    This canonuncher was over 50 times bigger than Pok.


    And despite the ridiculous size of his weapon, Pok calmly held it on his shoulders even as it dwarfed him.


    No one dared mock him despite how funny it looked.


    The mechanical soldiers were used to it.


    At this moment though, Pok had an aggressive frown on his face that made him look even more intimidating. Things were spiraling out of control.


    Since being sent on this mission, everything had been going smooth-sailing, they managed to stay hidden always despite the amount of stray pirate warships and mercenaries that had passed this region within these 2 months.


    Today though, a sudden end was brought to their smooth-sailing days.


    For 2 months, from it''s previous concentration of 56%, the temporal energy in this region of space only increased by 2% which was already frightening in normal circumstances but today everything changed.


    Just 2 hours ago, there was an incredible spike in temporal energy.


    Within just an hour, the temporal energy percentage increased by 3%.


    In the next hour, it increased by a staggering 7%!


    This was crazy!


    This was what brought the panic and it showed no signs of slowing down.


    {WARNING! Temporal energy concentration has increased by 1%!}


    Pok''s blue mechanical eyes flickered aggressively.


    "Give me data!" He demanded.


    "Give me statistics!" He felt restless.


    Data was given to him and he scoured through them rapidly. "This is definitely not a naturally urring phenomenon and it nothing affected it from outside either, which means¡­"


    This mechanical soldier''s eyes gleamed. "What affected it came from inside".


    {WARNING! Temporal energy concentration has increased by 2%!}


    {Temporal Storm: 71%...}


    His blue mechanical eyes narrowed.


    2 minutester¡­


    {WARNING! Temporal energy concentration has increased by 3%!}


    {Temporal Storm: 74%...}


    Pok''s eyes widened.


    "Activate the city thrusters!" He roared.


    "We''ve leaving!"


    "We''re escaping!"


    HUM¡­!


    With a loud humming sound, the hibernating asteroid jerked to life.


    Its thrusters released energy as this asteroid rose up from it''s initial position, instantly this asteroid started picking up speed, intent on escaping from this region but it was already toote¡­, it happened.


    {WARNING! Temporal energy concentration has increased by &%!}


    {Temporal Storm: 81%...!}


    {WARNING! Signs of a temporal storm has been detected!}


    Pok''s mechanical eyes widened to their limits, he stared.


    {WARNING! You have been caught in a spatial storm!}


    Pok became desperate as he looked around, he roared. "Protect yourself¡­!" He paused mid-sentence.


    BZZZZ¡­!


    A red energy aggressively swept through this spaceship.


    Pok was in the process of aiming his Star Crusher to try resisting when this energy swept through this spaceship, and he paused including everyone else.


    When looked at from outside, this whole region froze in time as the red energy spread through it, it was like time froze but it still ticked.


    It was scary.


    Inside the asteroid mechanical city, time froze but due to Pok''s power, he did not lose total control over his awareness.


    He could not move but his perception was active.


    He watched everything that happened from a third person perspective.


    Then¡­


    BZZZZ¡­!


    Another wave of red energy swept across this spaceship.


    BOOM!


    Everything was ground to pieces by this red wave.


    The mechanical city, including all its mechanical soldier inhabitants, including Pok were ground to gray mechanical particles like ash.


    Everything was dead!


    This red wave did not just affect the mechanical city, it affected everything.


    All the asteroids and space debris were ground to dust.


    1,000 kilometers away from here, an energy-lifeform Space Beast roamed, this beast was caught in the red wave as it disappeared like it was erased from existence.


    This was horrifying power¡­


    If this was inside a well-developed, billions of lives would have been wiped out in an instant.


    Heck, not even the would have been spared.


    This was the power of a temporal storm¡­, and it was only the beginning.


    BZZZZ!


    Another eruption of red energy and everything returned.


    Time rewind.


    All the asteroids returned.


    The mechanical city also returned, including Pok.


    Pok''s eyes were widened in horror.


    He was aware.


    He could not move but he saw the red energy sweep through him as he died. He didn''t feel anything else again, only terror as everything turned dark.


    Then, an instantter, he was revived.


    Pok did not understand what was going on.


    "Is this a spatial storm?!" This intelligent mechanical soldier asked in horror.


    BZZZZ¡­!


    The red temporal energy came again.


    BOOM!


    Everything was ground to dust again.


    Pok died again.


    Minutester¡­


    BZZZZ¡­!


    Another eruption of energy and everything returned again.


    Time rewound again.


    Pok was horrified¡­, he was traumatized.


    He tried to contact his creator but he received error feedback.


    He and every thing else here was stuck in a time loop.


    A time loop of death and revival.


    BZZZZ!


    Pok and everything were ground to dust again, he died again.


    10 minutes after this phenomenon urred, 10,000 kilometers from the location of the original diamond-shaped formation of asteroids, a portal opened and from this portal came out a warrior mechanic geared in a thick mechanic suit.


    Admiral Zhao gave his safety the outmost priority at this moment.


    Inside his mechanic suit, his eyes gleamed.


    "A temporal storm!" He muttered in fanatism as his eyes glowed.


    Bzzz!


    Mechanic energy sizzled as from this thick mechanic suit, protected by the mechanic energy, different state-of-the-art scanners wereunched into space.


    {Engaging Ultimate Scanner¡­}


    {Ultimate Scanner Online!}


    {Engaging deep scan!}


    HUM!


    Admiral Zhao did not just deploy scanners, he also deployed powerful mechanical gadgets that he designed on the spot a few minutes after he discovered what was transpiring here.


    These special gadgets were able to marginally absorb temporal energy.


    BZZZ!


    Another red wave of energy erupted.


    Everything turned to dust again but Admiral Zhao survived after losing more than half of his mana points instantly having focused on defending for his life.


    Despite this distance, he was still affected this much despite being one of the strongest Cmity Grade Supers of the Nak State.


    Gorr, Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac''s pce¡­


    At this moment, aggressive red energy surrounded a certain human This was the power of a temporal storm!


    Despite losing mana points, Admiral Zhao was not scared, he was excited, the look in his eyes was like that of a scientist who finally found the ultimate test subject that he had been pursuing for centuries.


    BZZZZ¡­!


    The red energy wave again, everything returned.


    Pok was going through the worst trauma of his mechanical life.


    ¡­


    Gorr, Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac''s pce¡­


    At this moment, aggressive red energy surrounded a certain human as more and more energy was sapped out of the body of the Titan Emperor''s corpse.


    The corpse slowly became emaciated as more energy left it.

    "BOOM¡­!"


    Red energy erupted with Legs at the center.


    His eyes were closed in concentration.


    His long hair blew as the red energy induced wind around him. He seemed like a Warlock in the process of unleashing a dark curse at this moment as red energy flooded his body even as they flowed under his control.


    Seeing this, a certain Emperor''s consciousness'' eyes gleamed.


    Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac was excited.

    [Your mana points have increased by 200,000!]


    ----


    "BOOM¡­!"


    Red energy erupted with Legs at the center.


    His eyes were closed in concentration.


    His long hair blew as the red energy induced wind around him. He seemed like a Warlock in the process of unleashing a dark curse at this moment as red energy flooded his body even as they flowed under his control.


    Seeing this, a certain Emperor''s consciousness'' eyes gleamed.


    Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac was excited.


    With his eyes closed, Legs began to feel a new energy flowing from him.


    From the very beginning of his training under Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac, despite the fact that through his intense concentration, he could trace the lines of temporal energy, he could never harness it yet.


    It was like his body was not yet ready to harness this power.


    But now, everything changed.


    It was like he finally exceeded the threshold.


    Legs felt in the zone state at this moment.


    BOOM¡­!


    As the dam broke, temporal energy flooded into his body rapidly.


    And unlike in normal circumstances, he did not die from this rapid infusion of foreign energy, this energy instead seamlessly integrated into his body as smoothly as his Summoner energy.


    Today, Legs gained control over a new type of energy.


    Today, he finally gained control over temporal energy.


    Now, 3 distinct energies flowed within him.


    His green Summoner energy, his mental energy that already morphed into a white color with time during this training and finally, his corrosive red temporal energy that seemed to be the most potent of the 3.


    These 3 distinct energies formed a unique synergy inside him.


    The red temporal energy flowed in an anti-clockwise manner inside his body while the white mental energy flowed in a clockwise manner.


    This formed something like the yin and yang fish in mythology.


    As for his Summoner energy, this special energy settled in the middle of the other 2 flowing energies like it was the leader, the boss.


    Summoner energy was Legs'' core.


    Blink!


    Legs'' eyes finally snapped open again after what felt like a millennia.


    There was a special gleam in his eyes as he observed his body.


    This change in his energies also affected him physically.


    His body was now sturdier than ever before.


    Seeing the game interface notifications, he grinned.


    He felt like screaming in joy.


    His health points increased again by a whooping 100,000 points.


    Compared to the normal Grade B+ Pugilist, his health points were already on a whole other league of its own. At this point, he already shed the scales of the weaknesses of the Summoner path already.


    This was his Cmity path.


    This was the Cmity path of the maverick.


    This was the Cmity path of the Arch Grandmaster.


    Yet, the Cmity path was notplete yet.


    Despite this though, at this moment¡­, he felt powerful.


    His eyes gleamed as he suddenly thought of something.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    You have activated Special Bloodline ability: Temporal Control; Pause!


    ----


    Instantly after Legs activated the beast ne summoning active ability, the portal to the beast ne opened as a random wolf under Ak came.


    Instantly after this wolf came, his new ability triggered.


    Bzzz!


    Red energy erupted and time froze.


    Everything in this floor of the pce where he sat training froze.


    From the wolf, to the sand outside in the desert, everything froze in time.


    The Titan Immortals also froze in time but Legs could tell that with the energy programmed in them, they could break from it if the need called for it.


    Apart from this, he also observed something else.


    ''It can grow even stronger''.


    ''If I pump more temporal energy into it¡­, it''s potency can either increase or its range will increase''.


    He remembered the game interface notification.


    ''Damn! I can potentially affect a region of 10 kilometers with this ability!'' He was losing it.


    He did not stop at this though, his eyes flickered mischievously.


    -----


    [You have essed your inventory!]


    [You have retrieved the Obsidian Spear!]


    ¡­


    You have activated Special Bloodline ability: Temporal Control- eleration!


    ----


    One moment, Legs essed his inventory as the pitch-ck Obsidian Spear appeared then the next moment, he turned and threw the spear.


    He threw this spear straight at Aodon as he grinned.


    This Titan Immortal''s eyes flickered in shock.


    Before it could react though¡­


    BZZZZ!


    Powerful temporal energy erupted.


    Legs grimaced, he lost 20% of his total temporal energy immediately as all this energy were absorbed by the Obsidian Spear, then¡­


    BOOM!


    The airspace shook.


    This spear was elerated through time so fast that it attained a speed where it seemed to cut through space!


    In an instant, it already met its target.


    BOOM¡­!


    Aodon''s shoulder was sted into oblivion from one hit!


    This was while Legs refrained from using any of his self-created abilities on it to amplify its power.


    This was ridiculous.


    He looked at his hand, then he grinned. "This is power¡­!"


    Seeing his reaction, Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac burst outughing.


    "HAHAHAHAHA¡­!"


    "Good job, Legs". This Emperorughed heartily.


    "You truly are a worthy sessor to me".


    "By learning temporal control; pause, you are already in line to learn some of my best and most badass temporal abilities that the world feared during a certain period".


    "And with eleration, you have taken an even bigger step".


    This Emperor puffed with pride. "I am proud of your achievements".


    "All you need is more time and practice and you will easily learn the ability that is associated with the opposite of the concept of eleration, you will learn the temporal ability of deceleration".


    "By then,bined with your current power, I find it hard to imagine a super of your grade that will be able to fight you toe to toe, except me¡­" This old Emperor zoned out as he seemed to remember his glory days of old.


    Legs smiled then he bowed respectfully. "Thank you master".


    Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac only smiled.


    Finally, Legs looked at the corpse of the Emperor. Compared to when he just came here, the corpse was no longer fresh, it was now emaciated.


    Noticing where his gaze fixed on, the Emperor''s consciousness continued. "I am impressed, I never expected you to sap the corpse of so much energy".


    "You already ate into the inheritance of my next candidate". Heughed. "Well, since its due to your incredible talent, I won''t penalize you".


    Legs ignored the corpse and clenched his fists again as he felt his current power. He was different from when he just came to Gorr.


    It was just 3 new abilities but theypletely changed him in a fundamental manner, Legs was at least 3 times more powerful than when he just arrived in this hidden space-pocket world.


    He grinned. ''Again, my training was sessful''.


    A concerned expression came over his face though as he remembered something, he looked at the emperor. "How much time did I take?"


    The Titan Emperor looked at him. "I told you that time is under my control, it is part of my preparations to make your inheritance convenient".


    "You spent 129 years toprehend these concepts of time, but¡­"


    Hearing the first part of this sentence, Legs felt his heart skip a beat but on hearing but, he calmed down and listened.


    "Time inside this shield is altered, your 129 years inside the shield is just a year and 2 weeks in the time of Gorr".


    "1 year and 2 weeks¡­!" Legs'' eyes widened as he rapidly did calctions in his head.


    ''That is roughly 2 months in the outside world''.


    His face fell for a brief moment but he shrugged it off once he remembered how much he gained from here, he couldpensate for anythingter.


    By now, the Titan Emperor''s consciousness that attended to Legs was already fading having expended the majority of its allocated power already.


    The Titan Emperor looked at Legs. "You are my first disciple after my death..," He paused. "Carry on the legacy of the powers of time".


    After that, the shield started wobbling.


    It was time to leave, but¡­


    CRACK!


    Legs was startled, he inclined his head to look and he was shocked.


    Arge crack just tore through the middle of the corpse of the Titan Emperor.


    Legs'' eyes widened. ''That is the corpse of a Grade S Titan!''


    ''Power that can tear it in one blow¡­!''


    CRACK!


    The crack erged.


    The Titan Emperor''s consciousness'' eyes widened. "What?!"


    Then it heard a familiar voice.


    "HAHAHAHAHA¡­!"


    "HEHEHEHE¡­!"


    "Long time no see, Gustacus".


    Hearing the deep tone of this voice, Legs felt goosebumps.


    This was beyond him.


    Spections flew wildly in his mind. ''Who is this?!

 Chapter 592 Danger! [1]

    <h4>Chapter 592 Danger! [1]</h4>


    CRACK!


    The crack on the body of the Titan Emperor''s corpse erged.


    Legs'' eyes widened.


    His hyperactive brain instantly became alert, gearing into overdrive.


    A million thoughts and spections went through his mind.


    While all this happened, the shield kept on wobbling.


    Legs was not the only one shocked, the Titan Immortals were also shocked, and the consciousness of the Titan Emperor himself was also shocked.


    His eyes widened. "What?!"


    Then he heard a familiar voice.


    "HAHAHAHA¡­!"


    "HEHEHEHE¡­!"


    "Long time no see, Gustacus".


    Hearing the deep tone of this voice, Legs felt goosebumps.


    This was beyond him.


    Spections flew wildly in his mind. ''Who is this?!''


    Hearing that familiar voice, that voice that he thought he already banned to the deepest depths of hell, the eyes of the Titan Emperor''s consciousness bulged in shock likenterns glowing in a deep darkness.


    The Titan Emperor''s face contorted in rage from shock the next moment as he red at his corpse.


    "INSOLENCE!" The voice of this Emperor boomed with power!


    "HOW DARE YOU POSSESS MY BODY?" His voice vibrated in rage.


    "NICO GUAGUAM¡­, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BODY?!"


    BOOM¡­!


    The Titan Emperor exploded with power.


    Red temporal energy flooded this room apanied by silvery spatial energy as everything in close proximity was bathed in a storm of destructive aura.


    The remaining energy supporting the shield dissipated at this moment.


    Bang!


    The shield shattered.


    Feeling the incredible power that was being emanated by this aura, Legs was reminded of the insurmountable power difference between the Grade B realm and the Cmity Grade realm.


    Bing a Cmity Grade meant aprehensive transformation.


    And this was no mere Cmity Grade either, this was the consciousness of one of the 2 strongest Grade S Supers that ever graced the Minerva System, Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac of the Titan Empire.


    A Grade S Super that held an important position in the hierarchy of one of the 3 Universal Civilizations that ruled the Gundogan Star Cluster.


    And his power did not have the normal cap of Cmity Grades either, the consciousness already told Legs that it had powers exceeding the Cmity grade and this intense aura was proof of it.


    While everything transpired, the voiceughing from within this corpse was not intimidated as it moved the next moment.


    The corpse of the Titan Emperor stood up for the first time in millenniums!


    The corpse of the Titan Emperor had a mad grin on his face.


    A grin of freedom atst.


    Seeing this, Legs'' eyes widened into saucers.


    Not just because of this, but because of something he just heard.


    ''NICO GUAGUAM¡­, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BODY?!''


    "¡­!"


    Hearing that name, rm bells rang in Legs'' mind.


    ''The Emperor of the World Controller Empire?!''


    ''What is he doing here?!''


    ''How?!''


    ''Why?!''


    Legs had a lot of questions in his mind but he knew that this was not the time to ask.


    At this moment, all his danger instincts tingled like mad.

    ----


    Legs reacted on instinct.


    Literally all the escape skills that he had been amassing during the period of his training were activated at this moment, he turned into the sh.


    While Legs tried to escape, the A.I of the Titan Immortals rapidly analyzed the situation before arriving at the best possible decision.


    ''The corpse of the ancestor is a sacred treasure¡­, it cannot be harmed''.


    ''The ancestor''s rules states that any enemy that is not of the Titan race that enters should be engaged and killed¡­, this is an enemy''.


    ''But this enemy is possessing the ancestor''s corpse!''


    There was a brief sh of codes as the A.Is tried to process the situation but they arrived at a conclusion in less than milliseconds.


    ''We can''t damage the corpse but we can deal with him using only abilities that targets mental energy¡­, it is a possession Afterall!''


    The A.I powering these Titan Immortals made use of ridiculous mega processors that could process information in nano seconds at their peak speed.


    This was ridiculous speed.


    In a second, they could make billions of calctions and act on them.


    And at this moment, the Titan Immortals already returned to their peak as intended and designed by the Titan Immortal as they could detect the energy of this enemy possessing the ancestor''s corpse already.


    At this moment, all 5 Titan Immortals evolved their energy to the Grade A realm as an explosion of power urred.


    BOOM¡­!


    Without hesitation, they rushed at the ancestor''s corpse.


    Everything was happening in milliseconds; Legs was in danger but he rapidly calcted as he ran. ''I can make it before the destruction starts¡­''


    He barely thought of it when something happened.


    BZZZZ!


    "Special Self-Created Ability: Telekinesis Domain!"


    "Special Self-Created Ability: Forcefield Defense!"


    The voice of the existence possessing the Titan Immortal''s corpse reverberated as it seemed to affect thews of nature.


    It was just 2 moves but these 2 moves did it all.


    At that moment, Legs'' eyes widened in realization.


    ''The World Controller race are actually telekinesis experts!'' This was thest coherent thought that Legs had before everything went nk.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Legs felt telekinesis powers with such a thickness that he had never experienced nor seen before, this mental power felt as thick as a wall.


    He also saw an apocalyptic eruption of temporal energy mixed with spatial energy; reality was literally being torn apart at this moment as ck tears appeared in the air that seemed to damage this special space-pocket.


    This was a level of power exceeding the Cmity Grade.


    Legs could not see more; his senses were blinded instantly as he felt like he was looking into the eye of the sun.


    He just saw bright shes of red, silver, and gray shing.


    This was power far exceeding Legs'' level.


    Originally, this power was supposed to kill him immediately or blow him far away from this location but neither of this happened due to the domain.


    BZZZZ!


    The power of Nico Guaguam''s telekinesis Domain held Legs in ce, but it also protected him at this moment from these destructive powers.


    This unprecedented battle started and ended in less than a second.


    Everything suddenly died down.


    Legs could finally open his eyes as he remained frozen in the air.


    He looked and he sucked in a deep breath in shock.


    The pce of the Titan Emperor was severely damaged.


    This room now seemed like a ruin.


    The 5 Titan Immortals were now lying at different parts of this room, their inner mechanic circuits exposed as they released sparks at various intervals.


    "Error¡­"


    "Error¡­" They kept on muttering.


    As for the consciousness of the Titan Emperor.


    He was at the corner of this room, defeated.


    The consciousness was now dimmer than ever before.


    With one nce, Legs could tell that this consciousness drew on all his remaining power including those for his remaining 2 consciousness that he kept for subsequent inheritors but yet¡­, he lost.


    Legs was going crazy¡­, he lost!


    "HAHAHAHAHA¡­!" Nico Guaguamughed maniacally.


    By now, Legs could finally pinpoint his location.


    This powerful existence was located in the eyes of Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac''s eyes. The eyes of this corpse now seemed like a moving abyss of grey and ck energy; this was where Nico Guaguam controlled the corpse.


    The World Controller Emperor kept onughing maniacally.


    The dying consciousness of Gustacus Dodomaniac just looked at him.


    "How?" He asked.


    "HAHAHAHA¡­!" Nico Guaguamughed again.


    "Your arrogance did you in Gustacus".


    "You always saw yourself as superior to me despite my incredible power".


    "You were always so confident that you could beat me and was why you grew the guts to challenge me to a life and death battle".


    "You knew how angry I was when you were winning?"


    "You know how much I cursed your 7 generations when you shed that your arrogant smirk at me¡­, that was why I decided to use the forbidden". He smirked.


    "Hehe¡­, you never could have guessed that I practiced forbidden techniques, I still can''t forget the shocked look on your face when we both died".


    "To wipe that smirk of your face, I was ready to die with you".


    "You dared underestimate me and I f*cking killed you for it!"


    While this Emperor raved, Emperor Gustacus just looked at him.


    "What you forgot then was that unlike you, my mental power has always been my strongest forte".


    "If your soul receives more than 50% damage after losing your body, you will die but unlike you, I was the strongest World Controller alive".


    "With my world controller abilities, surviving with just 10% of my soul remaining is nothing, my mental power is a world and body of its own to me, I can survive with even lower".


    Emperor Gustacus''s eyes finally widened in realization.


    Nico Guaguam grinned through his archenemy''s corpse, it felt so gratifying to him. "I survived, but only barely".


    "I didn''t have enough power to keep on living naturally, I sacrificed too much, my only hope was to live as a parasite".


    "And my only hope¡­," The corpse grinned. "Was your corpse".


    "While you prepared yourst inheritance hastily before dying, I took that time to secretly build an abode inside your body".


    "Fascinating, isn''t it?" Heughed maniacally.


    "I was too weak though, your remaining power left in your consciousnesses and your body were more than enough to suppress my little mental power if I ever tried to show myself so I went into hibernation".


    "I bid my time waiting for this exact moment".


    "You built this space-pocket to look for suitable inheritors to your legacy, I stayed waiting in your body for so long to also get the perfect body to reincarnate".


    "After thousands of years of waiting, finally, I got it".


    This Emperor turned to look at the immobile human.


    He grinned. "Legs is the perfect body I need".


    "¡­!" Legs felt his head freeze on hearing that.


    His danger instincts tingled like mad.


    He was in danger!


    Emperor Nico Guaguam made his move!

 Chapter 593 Danger! [2]

    <h4>Chapter 593 Danger! [2]</h4>


    Nico Guaguam grinned. "Legs is the perfect body that I need".


    "¡­!" Legs felt his head freeze on hearing that.


    His danger instincts tingled like mad.


    He was in danger!


    Emperor Nico Guaguam made his move!


    Legs felt suffocated instantly.

    ----


    Legs tried to struggle but he could not.


    The mental power of the World Controller Emperor formed a hand out of telekinesis that grabbed him by the neck and brought him closer.


    Legs struggled to no avail.


    At this moment, he seemed like a hen that was grabbed by the neck by an aggressive human whose strong grip was slowly suffocating him.


    The telekinesis hand was literally strangling him at this moment.


    Legs felt lightheaded.


    His thoughts started turning chaotic.


    In hisst moments, a lot of thoughts went through his mind.


    He experienced a lot of feelings.


    He felt indignant at his circumstances.


    He felt anger, he felt frustration.


    He felt regret.


    ''I couldn''t even fulfill my full potential''.


    ''As a reincarnator, I always thought I was the protagonist''.


    ''Am I just one cog in the giant mechanic wheel of the universe?''


    ''Am I not the protagonist?''


    ''When I was so close to realizing my Cmity path!''


    ''Why?'' He felt unwilling.


    ''Why?!'' He felt indignant.


    Just before he arrived at the face of the Titan Emperor''s corpse, Legs directed onest nce at the dying consciousness of the Titan Emperor for help.


    The corpse flicked a hand the next moment, and¡­


    BOOM!


    Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac''s consciousness was erased from existence.


    "¡­!"


    Legs lost all hope.


    He fell into despair as he finally looked into the eyes of this corpse.


    Looking into the abyss-like gray and ck eyes of this corpse, Legs fell into what felt like an illusion and the next moment, his soul was jerked out of his body.


    Everything turned ck.


    He saw nothing, just darkness.


    Then¡­


    Flick!


    Legs suddenly saw light return.


    He was not saved though, instead, Legs saw himself appear inside what seemed like the throne of an emperor.


    One nce told him that this was the soul ne.


    The only problem was that, this was Nico Guaguam''s domain.


    At this moment, the World Controller Emperor sat on a chair that was almost 10,000 kilometers tall to his estimate, Legs could not see its end.


    The Emperor towered up, covering half of this chair''s size.


    This Emperor looked down curiously at the tiny soul before him.


    Standing before this Emperor, Legs felt like an insignificant ant.


    Despite only retaining less than 10% of its power at this moment, this was still the soul of the greatest World Controller that ever lived.


    In Legs'' terms, it was the soul of the greatest Telekinesis expert ever.


    Legs was overpowered, overwhelmed, and oppressed by the sheer pressure being emanated by this soul. He felt inconsequential.


    Emperor Nico Guaguam looked down curiously at this soul.


    "Legs Baron, I am impressed".


    "Your talent is an unnatural one".


    "Your Cmity path is one that I never envisioned possible for any race, but thank the universe for your existence".


    "You have fulfilled your purpose of existing".


    "Your purpose was to train your body and present it to me as an offering to support the reincarnation of the greatest World Controller alive".


    "Be proud, with your body, I shall achieve wonders".


    "I shall grow and exceed my peak with your body".


    "I shall fulfill your true potential that you could never fulfill".


    "I gave you these few seconds to observe to appreciate thest moments of your life, now die proudly".


    The gigantic Emperor raised his giant hand to crush this tiny soul to pieces.


    Throughout, Legs said nothing.


    He already epted his fate; he could do nothing.


    WHOOM¡­!


    The giant hand of this Emperor finally started mming down.


    Legs did not resist.


    Then mere meters from hitting, it suddenly stopped.


    The air st from the momentum mmed Legs into the ground as his soul became damaged, coughing blood repeatedly.


    Lying on the ground, he waited for minutes but nothing happened.


    "Give me a swift death". He muttered through gritted teeth.


    "Why take pleasure in seeing me suffer?!" He stood up and red at the soul of the World Controller Emperor, this was when he paused.


    The expression on the face of this Emperor was an unnatural one.


    A shocked expression was now on his face as he looked at Legs again, this time with far more scrutiny than before as magical runes moved across his eyes.


    Then, he finally rxed, having gotten over his shock already.


    "You are not of this world".


    "¡­" Legs froze.


    "You are a reincarnator, how?"


    "¡­!" Legs'' eyes narrowed in shock.


    The next moment, his tiny soul rushed up without his consent as the telekinesis powers of this Emperor brought his soul to eye level.


    At this level, Legs saw theplicated magic runes moving through the eyes of this Emperor clearly as they seemed to re into his soul.


    Nico Guaguam''s eyes glowed.


    The next moment, Legs'' eyes briefly turned nk.


    -----


    [WARNING! A foreign power has tried to invade your memories!]


    [WARNING! Employing safety measures!]


    [WARNING! Shutting down game interface!]


    ----


    Bzzz!


    The interface shut down.


    Everything disappeared, Legs was shocked.


    Nico Guaguam furrowed his brows the next moment. "A mental block that can keep my mental invasion outpletely¡­"


    His eyes narrowed. "The safety measures of a God".


    He red at Legs. "Which God?"


    "¡­!" Legs was dumbfounded.


    At this moment, he had no idea what this Emperor was talking about.


    Seeing his reaction, Nico Guaguam furrowed his brows even more but he soon rxed again. "From your reaction, it seems you are unaware that you have been tampered with by a God".


    "Anyways, I don''t care why a God found interest in you but the fact that a God finds you fascinating makes you even more appealing to me". His eyes glowed even further in excitement like a little kid who found a new toy.


    "Now, I want to possess your body more than ever before".


    "I may not be able to read your memories but I am satisfied with your body".


    THUD!


    Nico Guaguam stood up from his throne as he looked at Legs. "Legs Baron, you were an interesting human but your end is here".


    "Tell me your greatest dream, I will achieve it for you".


    Hearing this, a lot of things went through Legs'' mind but he gritted his teeth in the end. "F*ck you!"


    Nico Guaguam had a nonchnt look on his face. "So be it".


    He looked into Legs'' eyes, then¡­


    BZZZZ!


    Legs'' soul started being erased from existence.


    As he faded out of existence, losing sentience, the gigantic soul power of the World Controller Empire instinctively started sucking the free soul energy in.


    Nico Guaguam was swallowing Legs'' soul.


    In hisst moments, only onest thought dominated his mind. "F*ck you!"


    Legs''st wisps of sentience was wiped outpletely.


    The next moment, his soul disappeared.


    Nico Guaguam swallowed it.


    "Finally¡­" This Emperor looked away. "It is time to inhabit my new body".


    "It is time to go back to the world and take it by storm".


    Bzzz!


    He returned his perception to the Titan Emperor''s body.


    At this moment, Legs'' body was lying on the ground, lifeless and ready for his possession, he grinned on seeing it.


    As he moved though, something happened.


    BZZZZZZ¡­!


    Nico Guaguam suddenly felt an apocalyptic soul power zip at his soul.


    His soul was damaged instantly.


    He was shocked as he looked through the eyes of the Titan Emperor''s corpse.


    "WHO?!" This Emperor roared.


    BZZZZZ¡­!


    The apocalyptic soul power struck again.


    This time, his soul was zapped so hard that he jerked like he was struck by electricity, Nico Guaguam let out a silent roar of pain.


    Nico Guaguam''s eyes widened in shock the next moment, this was because this time, he was able to trace the origin of this apocalyptic soul power.


    He was in shock. ''The Ultimate Soul Universal Treasure¡­!''


    ''The Underworld¡­!''


    ''The Demonification Mage¡­!''


    ''How?!''


    His eyes turned to Legs'' corpse the next moment. ''He had been to the Underworld before?''


    ''How did he escape?!'' From shock, the look in his eyes turned to despair.


    This was thest coherent thought that Nico Guaguam had.


    BZZZZZ¡­!


    His soul was zapped again and this time, an apocalyptic soul weapon like a sickle followed that yanked his soul out of the corpse of Gustacus Dodomaniac.


    Nico Guaguam''s soul was kidnapped!

 Chapter 594 A twist of fate

    <h4>Chapter 594 A twist of fate</h4>


    BZZZZZ¡­!


    His soul was zapped again and this time, an apocalyptic soul weapon like a sickle followed that yanked his soul out of the corpse of Gustacus Dodomaniac.


    Nico Guaguam''s soul was kidnapped!


    "NOOOOO¡­!"


    Thest sound in this soul domain was the screams of the powerful soul that was just kidnapped by an even more powerful soul.


    This was soul sorcery at the highest level in disy.


    Instantly, this soul domain became quiet again.


    This soul domain remained quiet for a long time.


    Everything seemed stagnant but this was not the true. Having lost its master, this soul domain was slowly dissipating the remnant soul power of the powerful World Controller Emperor into the soul world.


    And after 2 weeks, this dissipation of soul power attracted curious visitors.


    Powerful soul beasts traced this soul power to its origin.


    None of these powerful soul beasts dared to enter inside the domain though, the remnant aura of Emperor Nico Guaguam was just that intimidating.


    Amid the scrutiny of all these powerful beasts, after a month since everything turned quiet inside this domain, something finally moved.


    There was movement inside¡­, and it was from a soul.


    His head felt groggy.


    It was like he was just waking up from a millennium-long slumber.


    Blink!


    Blinking his eyes open, he was confused for a few moments as he looked around at this domain with confusion and uncertainty.


    "Where am I?" He asked.


    "Who am I¡­?" He paused mid-sentence.


    His soul just recovered a tiny bit more due to the incredible nourishment of the powerful remnants of Nico Guaguam''s overbearing soul power.


    His eyes widened, he finally remembered.


    "My name is Legs".


    "I was training".


    "I went to the Titan Emperor''s space-pocket world to improve my bloodline abilities, I managed to outwit the Titan Immortals and proved myself worthy of taking on Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac''s inheritance".


    "I seeded¡­, I managed to master the essence of time energy".


    "I managed to unlock multiple powers of my bloodline".


    "I unlocked the Rewind; degradation special bloodline ability".


    "I unlocked the Temporal Control; pause¡­"


    "I unlocked the Temporal Control; eleration¡­"


    His eyes widened even further, the more he remembered, the more he regained his personality as understanding returned to him.


    "I was done, I was ready to leave but an unexpected danger came".


    His eyes narrowed. "The Emperor of the World Controller Empire, Nico Guaguam, his 2 millennium-long ns".


    "My soul is supposed to be dead; my body is supposed to be his already". His brows furrowed in confusion. "So, what happened?"


    Legs cracked his brain to remember and he finally did.


    He recalled Emperor Nico Guaguam''sst moments.


    He was confused. "He seemed to be attacked by another soul".


    "But a soul stronger than the Emperor of the World Controller Empire¡­," Legs could not think of one as he cracked his brain.


    He thought for a long time and things finally started making sense to him.


    First, this existence must be connected to him in one way.


    The soul world was like the inte with different domains and servers. To ess a server, you need a passcode and authorization, it was the same thing in the soul domain and a soul imprint was needed to ess certain things.


    If this existence had a soul imprint to Emperor Nico Guaguam previously, then he could have just took his soul during his weak moments stuck and hidden in Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac''s body.


    But this didn''t happen, this existence waited till now which meant that the soul imprint was not on the World Controller Emperor but him instead.


    Thinking hard and long, Legs had only one suspect in mind.


    "The Underworld". He muttered solemnly.


    "Only the Underworld has an existence conversant with the matters of the soul enough that I believe can overpower the World Controller Emperor".


    Instantly, memories of the notorious and ridiculously powerful Grade S Super who represented the evil factions and was an enemy of the 3 Universal civilizations in his previous life floated to his mind.


    "The Demonification Mage!"


    "He is the only one who can overpower Nico Guaguam in his own domain".


    For a moment, Legs shuddered in fear at the thought that he had the soul imprint of such a powerful existence on his soul since without knowing.


    ''Was he waiting till I was powerful enough before he would take me?'' He felt cold sweat drop down his back.


    He felt like he just dodged a bullet.


    Now, it was the enemy that was supposed to be his end that now saved him from this future danger. By taking Nico Guaguam, in the process, the Demonification Mage already wiped out his soul imprint.


    Remembering something, Legs froze, then¡­


    "Muahahahaha¡­!" Heughed his ass out.


    He stomped on the ground and grabbed his ribs inughter.


    "What a f*cking twist of fate!"


    "Karma b*tch!"


    He finally understood how everything happened.


    Nico Guaguam aimed to wipe his soul off existence and take over his body, a malicious act without remorse but in the end, he was the one who got his soul stolen. Legs could pay billions just to see the Emperor''s reaction at that moment.


    He could already guess what would be of the World Controller Emperor knowing the culprit''s notoriety from his previous life, perhaps he was now themander of the Demonification Mage''s Demon Legion.


    "Muahahaha¡­!" He burst outughing again.


    With Nico Guaguam''s soul being stolen, he helped Legs wipe off the soul imprint that was a future danger to him.


    He finally understood how he was able to escape the Underworld.


    ''The Demonification Mage deliberately let me escape''.


    ''He probably recognized my talent and potential and wanted me to develop into a formidable existence in the future before he demonized me''.


    ''He probably treated me like a rice field that he was simply watering to be farmed in the future, just like I treat the yers''. He shuddered at the thought.


    ''Phew!'' He breath a sigh of relief.


    Wiping off the soul imprint was not the end of Nico Guaguam''s help to him though. With his soul stolen, his unimaginably powerful soul domain became ownerless, the powerful soul beasts outside were vivid evidence of how valuable this ownerless soul domain was.


    With no soul, all the powerful soul energy that had been gathering in this soul domain since was now ownerless and could now be absorbed.


    Any of these powerful soul beasts would be countless times stronger if they could absorb all this soul power but they dared not enter due to fear.


    What if the owner of this soul domain was feigning his death?


    What if he was injured and was just baiting them in for food?


    What if he was just ying a sick game due to boredom?


    All these kept Legs safe at this moment and it also gave him another inheritance¡­, the remnant soul energy left by Nico Guaguam''s soul domain.


    Since there were no sentient soul to control this soul domain, Legs had no chances of learning the techniques of the World Controller Emperor like he did with Gustacus Dodomaniac but the ridiculous soul energy was enough.


    If he could absorb all this soul energy¡­, he shuddered at the possibility.


    He struggled imagining how scary powerful his soul power would be then.


    His mental power and defense would be horrifying.


    Then, his telekinesis powers would be god-tier for his grade.


    Legs felt his blood flowing faster and turning hot just at the thought.


    Legs looked outside onest time at the hesitating powerful soul beasts. ''They''re still hesitating due to fear, I don''t know how long this willst''.


    His eyes gleamed. ''I better start now''.


    Legs no longer hesitated, his soul sat cross-legged in this soul domain and he started his second round of inheritance.


    Like a ckhole, he opened his soul up as it absolved soul energy from this soul domain like crazy.


    Powerful soul energy poured into his soul like crazy.


    And with no sentient soul imprint attached to them, they did not resist nor attack Legs. They simply nourished his soul and mind.


    At this moment, Legs felt like a baby that was sucking his mother''s breastmilk. There was no feeling greater than that for a baby.


    He felt contentment.


    He felt nourished.


    He felt full.


    He felt satisfied.


    He felt on top of the world.


    Closing his eyes, he just kept on absorbing soul energy.


    Legs did not know for how long he stayed in this soul world doing this routine but when he finally opened his eyes, he felt a change.


    Opening his eyes, power flowed from his soul.


    BOOOM¡­!


    Electricity seemed to cackle around him.


    His eye color changed, they were no longer their usual ck, they now glowed a deep green color, he was full of soul energy.


    VROOM¡­!


    Legs flexed his telekinesis powers and he felt like he could do anything.


    His mental energy now felt as thick as a wall.


    This was far stronger than his previous level.


    Legs did not learn any newplicated application for his telekinesis powers, what he gained was a sheer increase to his telekinesis powers.


    He felt like a barbarian at this moment filled with so much power butcking techniques to utilize them to their fullest potential.


    It didn''t matter at this moment though, what mattered was that he was now far more powerful than before his soul was kidnapped by Nico Guaguam.


    Legs looked up and he cackled maniacally like a mad man.


    "Muahahahaha¡­!"


    "What a twist of fate!"


    "The saying is really true. In any danger, there is opportunity!"


    BOOM! BOOM!


    He looked outside and he saw them.


    The powerful soul beasts were no longer hesitating.


    Having watched him from outside absorb so much of the soul energy inside this domain without repercussions, they became restless, they could no longer stay hesitant as they started barging their way in.


    Legs grinned. "I guess that''s my cue to leave".


    "My time is up".


    He focused and his soul finally left the soul world.


    Bzzz!

 Chapter 595 Epiphany; destruction!

    <h4>Chapter 595 Epiphany; destruction!</h4>


    Bzzz!


    Legs finally left the soul domain.


    Instantly after his soul left, he felt a force pulling him as his soul instinctively went back to his body before being attached to it.


    Blink!


    Legs'' eyes finally blinked open for the first time in a long time.


    Opening his eyes, he felt groggy at first.


    He squinted his eyes to focus and this was when he finally noticed his surroundings. Looking around, only one thought dominated his mind.


    ''How much time did I spend in the soul domain?!''


    At this moment, dust particles were already forming all over the inside of the Titan Emperor''s pce.


    He could understand the fact that after Nico Guaguam''s rampage here, this pce would be vulnerable after its destruction and also due to its location being in the desert, but not even this should happen so fast.


    For dust to gather so fast, a reasonable period of time should have passed.


    Moving his head, Legs heard it creak from stiffness.


    He looked beyond all the dusts, and the first thing he noticed was theck of the scrap materials that were left of the Titan Immortals after Nico Guaguam''s rampage. His eyes widened, someone was here!


    Legs'' eyes shot towards the right immediately.


    There, he saw him.


    Legs saw a middle-aged Nak warrior sitting cross-legged at the other side of this room, sitting directly before what was left of the Titan Emperor''s corpse.


    Legs could not mistake his yellow skin and tall physique, this was unmistakably a Nak warrior, the question was what was he doing here?


    One thought instantly entered his mind. ''¡­the coward that is still in hiding for 90 years''.


    During his preparations to confront Eodon, he also stole abilities from beasts that enabled him to eavesdrop on the conversations of the Titan Immortals all the way inside their pce, that was when he heard of this coward.


    Apparently, of all the Nak warriors that came to this space pocket world to get the inheritance of the Titan Emperor, one of them survived.


    He refused to return home though, for 90 years, he stayed in the wilderness, crafting crazy n after crazy n to force his way to his goal, the inheritance.


    Despite failing repeatedly, he kept on trying.


    Legs'' face turned weird. ''Was this the warrior?''


    He indeed felt strong for a Grade B+ Pugilist. Without a doubt, he was stronger than all the Pugilists that Legs met in Rockfest during his training, he was probably the best of his era.


    But at this moment, Legs felt different in a weird way.


    In the outside world, this Pugilist was probably an above the topbat prodigy but standing before him, Legs just felt like he was looking at a kid.


    Yet, they were in the same grade.


    ''Is this because of all the inheritances that I got?''


    ''Am I that powerful already?''


    While all these thoughts went through Legs'' mind, this warrior''s eyes already widened like saucers as he finally noticed the presence of the intruder.


    Seeing the human corpse that he already disregarded long ago stand up and staying at him, this Pugilist almost felt his heart jump out through his throat.


    It was that feeling of seeing your long-dead grandfather standing before you.


    He felt like he was staring at a ghost.


    This was no ordinary Pugilist though, this Nak warrior was a prodigy of his time as his incrediblebat instincts enabled him to react instantly.


    In less than a second, he sprang up to his feet, unleashed his sword, before dashing rapidly towards this summoner, intent on getting the initiative.


    ''What happened in the outside world during my 90 years here?''


    ''Is the Nak State no longer a thing?''


    ''How did a human make his way here when only the best prodigies of the Nak State are eligible to make it here after the grand tournament?''


    ''This human¡­, he definitely should be killed''.


    This Pugilist''s eyes narrowed in determination, but the next moment¡­


    BZZZZ!


    An apocalyptic eruption of mental energy urred the next moment as a wall of telekinesis formed before this Pugilist instantly.


    This Nak warrior was caught off-guard, he collided against it.


    Bam!


    Instantly, he felt dizzy, his thoughts became haphazard.


    Before he could recover and react, it was over...


    "Temporal Control: Pause".


    Bzzz!


    Instantly, this Nak warrior got frozen in time.


    Everything except his thoughts were frozen, he was aware in this moment but he could not move.


    This Pugilist felt horrified. ''He already understood the concepts of time energy?!"


    "Temporal Control: eleration".


    BZZZZ!


    Without his volition, this Pugilist suddenly moved forward at such a rapid speed that all he saw was a blur. Before his brain could register what just happened, he felt a sensation of a powerful hand grabbing hold of his neck.


    In less than a millisecond, he arrived before Legs'' outstretched right hand after Legs elerated the time around him and pushed him forward with his telekinesis. Instantly, this prodigy was decapitated.


    Legs did all these without moving an inch from his initial position.


    Yet, he was on the same grade as this Nak Pugilist prodigy.


    This Nak warrior was going insane.


    Legs just looked at him curiously.


    The Pugilist shuddered. "W-who are you?"


    "Are you Yang Liu?"


    "¡­"


    This warrior froze. "How did you¡­?"


    Legs smiled, cutting him off. "We''re allies then".


    Yang Liu was thest warrior that President Dunk told him that was sent into the space pocket inheritance world of the Titan Emperor.


    Legs finally dropped this yer even as he still struggled to recover from his shock, then he observed the world outside.


    At this moment, this world was already crumbling apart.


    Almost all the time energy stored in the Titan Emperor''s corpse was already exhausted at this corpse slowly turned into an emaciated dry husk.


    And after the sh between Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac and his Titan Immortals against Emperor Nico Guaguam, the foundations of this world were affected.


    They were affected even more when The Demonification Mage stretched his influence here and now, this space pocket world was finally on the verge of destruction.


    It already fulfilled its purpose of inheritance now it was dying.


    Legs inclined his head to look at Yang Liu. "Did you manage toprehend any time-rted concepts?"


    "Not yet but I felt my only time ability increase in efficacy".


    "Ok". Legs nodded. "At this point, I think we have less than 5 days to try getting ourst benefits from this inheritance before the world cospes".


    "If you want, join me".


    Without waiting for Yang Liu''s rey, Legs sat cross-legged the next moment before the now dry husk of Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac.


    Sinceing into this world, his power already experienced a meteoric increase but he was not satisfied yet, he wanted more power.


    Yang Liu stood, looking speechlessly at this human.


    There were a lot of things wrong with this human, he struggled to believe why the Nak State would agree to send a human here when there were tons of talented young Nak warriors waiting for the slot but he could not ask.


    This was because of the ridiculous power difference between them.


    He looked hesitantly at the fracturing world before looking back at the human, then he asked. "How are you so strong?"


    Legs did not open his eyes. "Determination".


    This warrior''s eyes widened, then the next moment he also went closer before sitting cross-legged as he put all his focus on the corpse of Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac to get this warrior''sst inheritance.


    Again, Legs lost track of time as he immersed himself in the feeling.


    He basked in temporal energy; he bathed in the feeling.


    The more he bathed in this energy, the faster this world copsed as the remnant temporal energy supporting this world were slowly absolved.


    Legs and Yang Liu''s temporal powers and abilities grew.


    This time, Legs did not have Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac''s consciousness to direct him but after listening to the Emperor for over a hundred years already, he could instinctively hear his voice in his head.


    Even in death, Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac was still teaching him.


    ''You''ve mastered the concept of time control''.


    ''Now, focus on the concept of destruction¡­''


    Legs was not sure if it was his own brain talking but he did as he heard, instinctively, he focused on the destruction happening in this world.


    He observed as this world slowly crumbled from within.


    He observed as the wildlife was thrown into a panic.


    He watched as the historic beasts and the immensely powerful Titanoboas tried to run for their lives, he watched the sheer destruction in disy.


    He observed as the deprivation of temporal energy brought destruction to this world, and this was when his eyes widened¡­, he got an epiphany.


    ''Every act of creation is first an act of destruction¡­,'' His eyes glowed in understanding as he observed the destruction in disy.


    "The world is crumbling". Yang Liu shouted the next moment. "We need to leave now!"


    Legs did not answer this Nak warrior.


    This Pugilist did not wait though, he left the next moment.


    Bzzz!


    Only Legs remained in this world with a smile on his face as he observed the destruction while also paying attention to Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac''s corpse. "Thank you, teacher".


    Legs raised his right fist, red energy gathered on it and he clenched it.


    BOOM¡­!


    This world finally crumbled.

 Chapter 596 The concept of destruction

    <h4>Chapter 596 The concept of destruction</h4>


    Deep in unexplored space outside the territories of Nak State.


    Legs was dead, this was concluded long ago.


    Despite this conclusion though, a certain Nak Admiral still kept a battalion of mechanic soldiers on the ready inside a stealth Capital Ship through which he kept on observing the remnant phenomenon of the temporal storm that urred.


    It was a long time already since the temporal storm urred yet its aftereffects remained, this region of space was still stuck in a loop.


    Like usual, the mechanic soldiers remained diligent, observing and analyzing the data before them and sending it to their master who was far away from here.


    It was while they went on with their activities that something happened.


    BZZZ!


    A portal suddenly opened between the diamond formation of asteroids.


    Wom! Wom! Wom!


    The stealth Capital Ship instantly rang rms, waking this battalion up.


    [WARNING!]


    [WARNING!]


    The mechanical soldier captain of this mechanic battalion instantly gave warnings to his battalion as they were jolted to action.


    Before they could understand what was happening or react though, the portal disappeared the next moment as something came out from it.


    Not something, it was someone, a Nak warrior.


    "Deploy restraint soldiers!" The mechanical captain ordered.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Shuttles wereunched out of the stealth Capital Ship the next moment as thousands of mechanical soldiers wereunched into space.


    They surrounded the warrior that was rapidly moving through space.


    They employed measures to restrain and capture him even as he felt dizzy.


    This warrior did not keep spinning indefinitely though, the next moment, powerful Pugilist energy erupted from him as he forcefully opposed the force of inertia moving him forward and stopped himself in space.


    Instantly, the radiation in space started affecting him but he did not die immediately to it. He was a powerful super.


    Instantly after this Nak warrior stopped in space, his eyes darted left and right as he finally beheld his surroundings.


    The first thing that he noticed was the eerie presence in this region, it was like it was a region where temporal energy was forbidden from existing.


    ''What happened here?!'' He thought.


    ''Is this because of the space-pocket world crumbling?''


    The next thing was the squad of mechanical soldiers that surrounded him.


    ''Enemies!'' He concluded instantly.


    Shing!


    This warrior''s sword was unsheathed the next moment, leaving a bright silver streak in space as he was unleashed.


    "Self-Created Ability: Sword Star!"


    "Self-Created Ability: Sword Heart- Core of a thousand shes!"


    This warrior swung his sword in space and the world seemed to move with it. Like Legs, this warrior already mastered an ability that was simr to Nature Connection but instead with Pugilist properties, it was the sword star.


    This warrior was truly the most talented of his era.


    This warrior swung his sword and the world responded with it, augmenting it massively as destruction followed.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    In just a second, he turned hundreds of mechanical soldiers into scrap metal as he tried to wriggle himself out of their tight formation to no avail.


    These were powerful mechanic soldiers with state-of-the-art war A.Is.


    Amid his struggle though, he suddenly felt a new presence arrive.


    Bzzz!


    What appeared was teleported here through spatial energy.


    What appeared was a gigantic canonuncher.


    As soon as this canonuncher appeared, it morphed, developing thrusters that kept it in control in space even as mechanical hands appeared that supported it, enabling it to focus on the target.


    Mechanical eyes also appeared at its front for it to see.


    This monstrous mechanical construct aimed.


    Its red eyes flickered as it''s A.I calcted.


    [Enemy found!]


    [Analyzing enemy¡­]


    [Face: Unknown!]


    [Build: Familiar!]


    [Pugilist Energy: Familiar!]


    [¡­]


    [¡­]


    [Searching database¡­]


    [Match Found: ¡­]


    BOOM!


    This monstrous mechanical construct clearly moved faster than it calcted. Before it''s A.I could finish its calctions, it already pulled the trigger as a gigantic red canon mixed with fire wasunched out of the canon muzzle.


    Yang Liu felt goosebumps as all his danger instincts tingled like crazy.


    He felt in danger at this moment but this was when another existence arrived through another space portal.


    Bzzz!


    Admiral Zhao appeared as his maic mechanical energy alone stopped the canon, stopping it in its tracks, he also stopped his mechanical army.


    Then, this Admiral looked attentively at the fighting Pugilist.


    His eyes squinted. "Yang Liu?"


    The Pugilist paused, shocked, he turned his head to look as the bloodthirstiness of this battle slowly left him then his eyes widened.


    "Master Zhao?!"


    Both Nak warriors were shocked, but their reunion was interrupted.


    BZZZZ!


    Another portal opened between the diamond formation of asteroids.


    ¡­


    ''Every act of destruction is first an act of creation¡­,'' Legs'' eyes glowed as he viewed the destruction before him, he got another epiphany.


    Watching this world crumble, he learned an invaluable lesson.


    ''Time is infinite¡­''


    ''Time is forever but even time can be destroyed¡­''


    He finally paid attention to the husk of a corpse of the emperor of the old Titan Empire, Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac.


    He paid hisst respects. "Thank you, teacher".


    Legs raised his right fist, red energy gathered on it and he clenched it even as the portal to leave opened before him.


    BOOM¡­!


    This world finally crumbled.


    BZZZZ!


    Legs returned to the real world after what felt like a millennium.


    As soon as he arrived, what stole his attention first was the expected notification from his game interface that appeared.

    ----


    "Legs?!"


    Unlike when he called Yang Liu, this Admiral''s voice was emotional at this moment as he called on the name of the individual now before him.


    He could barely believe his eyes.


    It seemed so long ago already.


    Legs opened his eyes and heid it on the Nak Admiral. "Admiral Zhao". He called as a slight grin crept up his face.


    Admiral Zhao took a deep breath to calm his raging emotions.


    He looked at the 2 warriors that were before him, he had a lot of questions and curiosities that were on his mind but in the end, he only asked.


    "How did you survive?"


    "What took you so long?"


    Legs chuckled. "It''s a long story".


    He looked at all the mechanical soldiers that were fighting Yang Liu previously, he felt that with just one temporal pause and a wide-area sh with his Obsidian Spear, he could eradicate them all in one blow.


    Legs felt so different from before, his perception of the world was now changed, he was now a warrior of a far higher existence than he was before.


    Despite all his changes, returning to reality, Legs felt happy.


    He sighed in relief as he remembered all the challenges and incredible adventures that he just went through just in his quest for more training.


    He chuckled slightly in the end then he looked at Admiral Zhao. "How long did I spend in there?"


    Admiral Zhao looked at him as the expression on his face becameplicated and unnatural. "It''s been 3 years since you entered the Titan Emperor''s space pocket".


    "¡­!"


    For a few seconds, Legs just hovered in space as he processed these words.


    He expected to take a long time but this was still shocking to him.


    3 years?!


    Converting this time to the elerated time of Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac''s inheritance world, and also adding the roughly 100+ years that the Titan Emperor helped him train in, his eyes widened even further.


    Without him knowing, he already spent so much time training.


    At this moment, Legs'' body did not look so much different but aftering to this realization, in his mind, he felt like an old man already.


    ''Damn¡­!'' He eximed in his mind.


    ''Well, it''s finally over''.


    ''Its time to go home''.


    ''I wonder how the Nak State is now''.


    ''I wonder what the current state of the Beast Coalition is?''


    ''Is it exactly as in my previous world or did my interventions already bring another plot twist?''


    ''Did an all-out war already start between the Nak, Ackermanns, and the beasts of the Beast Coalition?''


    ''What of de, Uranus, Christensen, and the others, are they ok?''


    ''Is my mercenary army still alive?''


    ''With me disappearing for 3 years, did they keep on receiving the privileges that I got when I was alive, did the Nak State forsake them?''


    At this moment, Legs had so many spections and thoughts in his mind but he knew that he could not get the answer to all of them at this moment.


    First, he needed to go back into the world.


    He needed to reacquaint himself with society.


    ''It''s been so long¡­'' He sighed.


    Admiral Zhao created a portal and all 3 of them jumped in.


    They all finally left.


    This unexplored region of space was quiet and peaceful again.

 Chapter 597 The New Legolas; New Reality

    ?


    Bzzz!


    Arriving out of the portal, Legs felt his gcticmunication device receive signal again. He was finally back in civilized space.


    Legs sighed. ''Finally¡­, after so long''.


    ''It feels like I''ve been gone in forever''.


    The journey back to the territories of Nak State was on Admiral Zhao''s special supersonic spaceship which traversed space at a speed extremely close to light.


    Admiral Zhao was taking both warriors straight to Nak to meet President Dunk as the President was already informed of their return.


    Legs was the important chip that the Nak State hoped to use in fighting back against the Beast Coalition.


    As for Yang Liu, he was the best warrior that the Nak State had produced in thest 500 years, that was a reflection of his status.


    And after such a long time spent in the space-pocket world of the Titan Emperor, Yang Lui was sure to be even stronger now. President Dunk could not wait to meet these 2 warriors and was why Admiral Zhao did not take any stops.


    Their journey was straight to President Dunk.


    During the journey, Admiral Zhao could not hold his curiosity as he asked Yang Lui about the world of the Titan Emperor and Yang Lui obliged.


    While they conversed, Legs became absolved in his own world.


    He wanted to see the new him.


    He wanted to see how powerful he was now.


    He wanted to see how much he grew.


    The anticipation of it made his blood rush faster. ''Exciting¡­,'' He thought.


    He finally essed his game interface status after such a long time.

    ----


    Legs shifted egomaniacly on where he sat inside this supersonic spaceship as a special feeling welled in him.


    "Hehe¡­," He grinned.


    ''I''ve arrived''. He thought in his mind.


    ''All the training was worth it¡­, this was my goal from the very beginning''.


    With a smile on his face, he went through all the base goals that he wrote down previously pertaining to his training and his smile only widened.


    ''Going to Rockfest, I achieved my goal there as I created multiple self-created techniques, strengthening my body to such a ridiculous extent that I managed to achieve total mastery over the Diamond-Beast Body path''.


    ''This maximizes the advantage of my Supreme Talents''.


    ''Heck¡­, if I even want, I can be a Cmity Super right now with just that alone but no, that is not yet enough''. He grinned.


    ''I want to be the strongest Cmity Super alive when I breakthrough''.


    He thought back to his other goals. ''I now have a thorough proficiency and understanding for the path of the Grandmaster''.


    ''Like I wanted, I now have a base control level of above 100% with every single one of my contracted beasts''.


    ''I got the inheritance that I wanted to maximize my titan bloodline powers''.


    ''Of all my goals, only 2 are remaining to bepleted''.


    *Find a way to integrate Battle Controller sub ss into cmity path.


    *Learn or create an ability that enables telepathicmunication with tamed beasts like with contracted beasts.


    He grinned still. ''It does not matter though; I am more than satisfied with what I already got''.


    ''Besides, it is still not toote to improve on it''.


    Legs felt invincible at this moment as he looked at his achievements.


    This was when his gcticmunication device beeped.


    BEEP!

    [Master! This is my 49th message since 3 years ago when you disappeared, if you see this, please go back to the remaining 48 messages for details.]


    [Master¡­, we need your help!]


    Legs raised his head, his eyes narrowed.

 Chapter 598 Messages

    <h4>Chapter 598 Messages</h4>


    The atmosphere in the spaceship changed but neither of the other 2 passengers noticed it, Legs was just that good at masking his aura now even from the senses of a Cmity Grade super.


    At this moment, Admiral Zhao and Yang Liu were engaged in an interesting conversation about life in Gorr but they didn''t speak out.


    Since they saw Legs close his eyes about an hour ago while sitting down cross-legged, they naturally thought that he was going into meditation.


    To avoid disturbing his training, they used another means tomunicate.


    At the higher levels of the Super progression, Supers no longer needed their mouths and vocal cords tomunicate.


    At the Cmity Grade, there is a transformative change, granting Supers sentience and the Spirit Sense which enables them tomunicate using it only.


    At this moment, Admiral Zhao and Yang Liumunicated through their spirit senses and this was a reflection of Yang Liu''s incredible talent.


    This Pugilist managed to mutate his energy check to be a spirit sense while still being only a Grade B+ Super even before he entered Gorr.


    Legs only mutated his aftering back from his trip to Gorr.


    Both Nak Statesmen had smiles on their faces as they conversed.


    ''In conclusion, life in Gorr was a living hell''.


    ''I was literally close to the bottom of the food chain when ced in the same location with such powerful prehistoric beasts hence my improvisation''.


    ''Hising helped me though¡­,'' He subtly looked at Legs and paused. He felt that something was wrong but he could not pinpoint it so he ignored it.


    Yang Liu looked at Admiral Zhao seriously. ''Who is he?''


    ''He is not a Nak warrior yet he managed to enter Gorr?''


    ''Besides, I have never met a warrior like him''. This Pugilist briefly shuddered when he thought back to the strength that the Summoner disyed in Gorr, he simply could not tell his ss at first.


    A Summoner with a Brawler Pugilist''s health and defense, with a Weapon Master Pugilist''s technique and weapon finesse, with telekinesis and temporal powers that could put any Mage to shame, he was bbergasted at the thought.


    And not just that, this same Summoner still retaining all the advantages of the Summoner ss was the most ridiculous fact of all.


    Yang Liu still found it hard to wrap his head around this reality.


    ''This Summoner should not exist at all''.


    ''This power already breaks the paradigms of the super world''.


    Admiral Zhao kept quiet for a few seconds after Yang Liu asked, he didn''t answer though, he rather demanded with a calm smile. ''Tell me everything that Legs did and achieved in Gorr''.


    Yang Liu did not nag, he started narrating instantly.


    While they did, Legs went through dozens of messages.


    His gcticmunication device kept on beeping.


    BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

    Legs took a deep breath first after seeing the ton of messages, then slowly, he opened them, starting with Christensen''s messages.


    [Master, it''s been 6 months since youst contacted us, you never told us that you were going for any seclusion and the Nak superiors refuses to give us any details if they actually know anything.]


    [If you''re seeing this, can you kindly give us a reply and keep us from panicking.]


    [Sender: Christensen]


    ¡­


    [It''s been 8 months¡­]


    [Master, where the f*ck are you?!]


    [Sender: Christensen]


    ¡­


    [The Beast Coalition are bing more rampant now.]


    [The Nak State and Ackermann States are adapting; they''re no longer losings to the Shelter Priest but they''re suffering hard in other areas.]


    [I thought you said you had a n, perhaps this is the right time to implement it or you maye back to meet an entirely different Minerva Star System.]


    [Sender: Christensen]


    ¡­


    [Master, it''s already a year, I''m still wondering where you went¡­]


    Nak was attacked.]


    [Rumors came that President Dunk was injured, we still don''t know the details but the whole of Nak State is in a state of unrest.]


    [I don''t know but I feel uneasy, I feel that undercurrents are surging.]


    [We really need your presence this time.]


    [Sender: Christensen]


    ¡­


    [It''s been 3 months and President Dunk is yet to make an appearance, and like I suspected, there are indeed undercurrents.]


    [When we became recognized as the 3rd off-shoot army of the Nak Navy, we dethroned another mercenary group off their pedestal, making an enemy.]


    [For a long time, we knew that Admiral Gwen hated our guts but she never made a move, but now she finally made her move.]


    [Admiral Gwen is no longer being subtle about it, she''s opposing us tantly.]


    [Some of our strongest mercenaries are dying mysteriously when out on missions, our trade spaceships are getting raided more frequently than usual.]


    [We''re now running on a loss.]


    [If this continues, we may lose our standing in the Nak State.]

    [Master¡­, where the f*ck are you?!]


    [Sender: Christensen]

    [We''ve been dethroned.]


    [Admiral Gwen has reinstated her army as the 3rd off-shoot army of the Nak Navy, we are back to where we started.]


    [President Dunk came back 2 months ago but still, neither he nor Admiral Zhao bothered to take my calls.]


    [I guess we''ve been abandoned.]


    [Hehe¡­, I can''t me them, we''ve lost our usefulness Afterall.]

    [Uranus has been taken!]


    [It''s Admiral Gwen! I know it! That f*cking vixen!]

    [Sender: Christensen]

    [Perhaps, this is thest message that I will be privileged to send to you if my freedom is restricted after what is about to happen.]

    "¡­" Legs took a deep long breath to calm himself.


    He could feel his hormones already turning rampant, he forcefully held his emotions in check as he opened the other messages.

    Legs took another deep long breath.


    He continued.

    [Dad, I''m a master mercenary now!]

    [Dad, it''s been 3 years...]


    [I can''t anymore¡­, I need your help.]


    [Sender: Uranus]

    Legs clenched and unclenched his fist, he continued.


    [Hey Legs, if you see this, please send me a message.]

    [I''m sorry man, I know I promised but theplications of a state as big as this are more numerous than you think. I am the President but I still have to follow some set rules or even I can be dethroned.]


    [I''m guilty for not trying my best but I tried.]


    [I can''t tantly support your mercenary group anymore, Gwen''s faction wins.]


    [I really hope you cane back to change the tides.]


    [Afterall, even the Beast Coalition is turning more rampant.]


    [Sender: President Dunk.]


    ¡­


    [Hey boss, I''ve never really messaged you before but I need to this time.]


    Titania is no longer fully ours.]


    [Admiral Gwen has spread her tentacles all the way to here, Champion Onana is the only reason we still have a minor stake on the metal.]


    [In fact, even Darvis did not escape her influence.]


    [Boss, we really need you back now.]


    ¡­


    Well, this was the straw that broke the camel''s back.


    Legs stood up.


    Admiral Zhao and Yang Liu were surprised as they looked at him, Admiral Zhao finally noticed the change in the atmosphere. "Is anything wrong?"


    Legs stared straight at this Admiral.


    His eyes narrowed, they turned bloody-red, his aura became oppressive as it flooded out with the force of an avnche.


    "What¡­ has Gwen done?!"


    "¡­!"

 Chapter 599 Rage!

    <h4>Chapter 599 Rage!</h4>


    "What¡­ has Gwen done?!"


    "¡­!"


    Admiral Zhao sprang to his feet; he frowned as he heard that tone.


    Yang Liu was no different as he also sprang to his feet while instantly entering a defensive stance, the sheer aura of this summoner at this moment was literally impossible to withstand to him, he felt himself suffocating.


    Admiral Zhao observed Legs, he was already red in rage.


    His face went red as his eyes constantly red in anger, his fists clenched and unclenched, this mechanic could instantly tell the severity of this.


    "Calm down¡­," Admiral Zhao took a step closer to calm the situation.


    "Ipletely understand how you feel right now, but¡­"


    "No, you do not!" Legs cut this Admiral off as he red at him with his now blood-shot eyes, he was so angry that he could barely form coherent words at this moment but he did.


    "M-my godson¡­ kidnapped". A malicious smirk crept up his face.


    "de, m-my only 2nd disciple captured in prison".


    Titania snatched".


    "Even my home, Darvis messed with, hehe¡­," Legs chuckled darkly as every outa of hesitation and rxation was wiped off his mind.


    He looked out through the thick wall of this spaceship into space. "Admiral Gwen, what guts¡­"


    "What maliciousness¡­"


    "Legs, please calm down". Admiral Zhao spoke again.


    "I never knew you as impulsive, please don''t make a decision that you will regret, going against Admiral Gwen alone is not advisable".


    "Admiral Gwen may be the weakest Admiral of the Nak Navy but it removes nothing from her status as a bonafide Cmity Grade Super".


    "Yang Liu already told me of your exploits in Gorr, despite all that, 10 of you still stands no chance against a Cmity Grade Super".


    Legs turned to face this Admiral, he only smiled darkly.


    Seeing the dark smile on this Admiral''s face, Admiral Zhao felt even more urgency to speak and calm him down. "Don''t do this to yourself Legs".


    "Once the President know that you are alive and he hears of your exploits in Gorr, he will finally be able to help you publicly again".


    "I promise you that you will receive the best of treatments".


    "And if you somehow help us in the Beast Coalition problem, Admiral Gwen will receive the punishment that she deserves".


    "The Nightmare mercenary group will also receive the justice it deserves".


    "Heh!" Legs smirked in disgust.


    "Despite seeing me, your decision to not confront Admiral Gwen immediately to get me justice is all I need to know what you think of me".


    His smirk grew even more malicious. "It seems you still look me with the same light that you saw me 3 years ago".


    "Well, it only means that I have a few lectures to make".


    "Touching my students is an unforgivable crime!" He dered.


    "Touching my godson¡­," He chuckled darkly. "It''s beyond unforgivable".


    His eyes gleamed. "I shall confront Admiral Gwen and I will kill her".


    Admiral Zhao''s expression finally changed on hearing that as he let out a bit of his humungous Cmity Grade aura, causing the spaceship''s metallic edges to creak under the might of his power.


    "Do not overstep your bounds".


    "Overstep?" Legs looked at him fearlessly and chuckled.


    "Today, Admiral Gwen shall feel my rage!"


    Legs no longer hesitated.

    Legs kept on looking at the now displeased Admiral Zhao throughout. "You all had the chance to prevent this but you refused".


    "Now, you shall witness my rage!"


    He jumped the next moment having turned into a gigantic Cosmic Void Raven already as he punctured a hole through the spaceship outside.


    As soon as Legs arrived outside, his eyes gleamed.


    -----


    You have activated Special Bloodline ability: Temporal Control- eleration!


    ----


    He pped his massive wings and a storm seemed to be induced in space.


    WHOOOM!


    A ck and golden streak was left behind the next moment as he vanished from the vicinity of the spaceship.


    Admiral Zhao''s eyes narrowed as he saw this speed, he was worried though.


    Creating a connection through his special A.I ability, he got through to the number 1 citizen of Nak State the next moment.


    He looked at his President with a worried look on his face. "He found out".


    "And?"


    "He is angry".


    President Dunk took a deep breath. "Make sure he doesn''t die".


    ¡­


    Of the dozens ofs in Nak State territory, most of theses were designated territories under the rule of the different Nak Admirals but there were few that were designated to non-military high officials of the Nak State.


    Singh was the capital of thes in Admiral Gwen''s territory and today, this weed an unexpected guest.


    He arrived from supersonic with a sonic boom apanying him!


    BOOM¡­!


    Theary defense measures of this capital could not withstand it.


    In nothing but a moment, the defenses of Singh were neutralized.


    WOM! WOM! WOM!


    Warning rms rang across the defensive outposts of this as they tried to pinpoint the danger, but it was already on them.


    They only saw blood-red eyes filled with rage and a pitch-ck spear.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Temporal Control- eleration!"


    "Self-Created Ability: Nature Connection!"


    Red temporal energy first coated the de of the Obsidian Spear as time around it was warped, then Legs'' overbearing telekinesis energy flooded across its frame, granting it an extra ridiculous boost of speed.


    Then finally, he activated his self-created ability and unleashed the attack.


    The sound that reverberated was like a sh of thunder.


    KABOOM!


    Destruction urred and chaos ensued.


    In one spear sh, all the southern defensive outposts of Singh that were directly faced against this intruder were obliterated in a sh.


    This was unprecedented!


    Afterall, the power needed to destroy any of these defensive measures and outposts already crossed the normal Grades into the Cmity Grade.


    There was no way an attack of such magnitude and damage could escape anyone''s notice, every individual in this capital noticed.


    They were all shocked.


    "Where is my student?" A voice filled with rage reverberated the next moment.


    "Where is de?"


    "Where is Uranus?!"


    Legs asked but there was no politeness detected in his tone.


    He simply asked to fulfill all righteousness knowing that he would not receive an answer, this was why the next step in his n kickstarted immediately.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    Gigantic portals leading to the beast ne opened the next moment and from this ne, powerful beasts started charging out into this.


    The beasts already received clear orders and they did not hesitate.


    All the beasts instantly started wreaking havoc on seeing prey.


    That was not all, 3 more gigantic portals opened up the next moment leading to the Void domain as Bran''s army of Void beasts arrived in this.


    They did not hold back; they started a rampage immediately.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    It was just 5 seconds of uninterrupted rampage but this felt the consequences as they lost tens of thousands of soldiers and resources already multiplying into hundreds of millions of gctic credits.


    The Nak warriors were traumatized by this almost invincible intruder but his rampage didn''tst long, the ruler of this finally came out.


    "INSOLENCE!" Her feminine voice reverberated with power.


    "Who dares?!"


    "I¡­!" Legs responded as his voice also reverberated with power.


    BOOM!


    She arrived.


    Admiral Gwen was on light icy blue armor at this moment, her long blue hair waved behind her as she levitated in the air even as icy mists gathered beneath her legs, enabling her to keep on levitating effortlessly.


    On arriving, she looked at the intruder and her eyes narrowed.


    "Legs Baron?!" She asked in an uncertain tone.


    Then her eyes widened in rage. "The audacity!"


    "How dare you cause so much rampage in my?!"


    "Hehehe¡­!" This Admiral chuckled maliciously as she came to a realization. "You previously had the cover of the President protecting you but with this impulsive action of yours, you have lost even that".


    "Finally, I can put you where you belong".


    Legs ignored all her talk. "Where is de and Uranus?"


    Bzzz!


    A gigantic icy blue staff appeared beside her the next moment; Admiral Gwen was an Ice Elementalist Cmity Grade with the eternal frost cmity path.


    Watching her bring out her staff, Legs did not cower in fear.


    He rather only narrowed his eyes.


    "So be it¡­," He muttered.


    What happened next was unforgettable in the history of Nak State.

 Chapter 600 Confronting a Calamity Grade Super! [1]

    <h4>Chapter 600 Confronting a Cmity Grade Super! [1]</h4>


    "So be it¡­"


    As soon as Legs muttered this, all hesitation left his mind.


    Every other enemy and distraction left his mind.


    Only one enemy and target remained, Admiral Gwen, one of the Cmity Grade Supers of the Nak State.


    Legs was about to do the unprecedented.


    He was about to challenge a Cmity Grade Super to a death battle when he was only a Grade B+ Super. To many, this was suicide.


    But to Legs, he didn''t view it as that.


    He viewed it as an expression of his rage.


    Sometimes a man just had to step his foot down and say enough is enough or the f*ckers and haters would keep oning confidently to mess with you.


    This was exactly what Legs intended for this moment.


    He viewed it as justice for his student and godson.


    Watching him make his preparations to resist, Admiral Gwen smirked arrogantly. "What a spoilt brat you are!"


    "Today, I will show you the sheer difference between you and a bonafide Cmity Grade Super, you won''t live to tell the story".


    Ignoring her, Legs closed his eyes to hone his concentration.


    For a moment, Admiral Gwen felt that Legs was ignoring her which riled this Nak Admiral up even more as her gigantic Elementalist staff finally moved.


    The next moment, weather seemed to move to her will.


    The skies became gloomy and filled with clouds.


    Snow began falling from the skies.


    "Cmity Path Domain: Eternal Frost!" She dered.


    BZZZZ!


    A storm of frost energy descended in this region the next moment.


    In an instant, the whole of this metropolis turned into an arctic domain, an ocean of ice spanning across thousands of kilometers that enabled Admiral Gwen to be in her domain and fight in her best state.


    If Legs was a Cmity Grade Super, he would counter this with his own domain but unfortunately, he had no cmity domain yet.


    Legs paid no attention to her actions though; he kept his eyes closed.


    His brain geared into overdrive.


    Only a fool will confront a cmity grade super without a n.


    At this moment, his brain processed information at the speed of a supeputer as he simted multiple battle scenarios in his head.


    "Special Elementalist Ability: Icicles of Doom!"


    5 gigantic icicles dripping with the aura of death appeared in the air the next moment as without hesitation, they plunged down towards Legs.


    Legs could feel his surroundings just as he felt his body.


    At this moment, he was in a state of total concentration.


    And finally, he made his move.


    "Self-Created Ability: Beast Mirage!"


    In an instant, multiple incarnations of himself appeared the next moment but therge region covered by the gigantic icicles meant that despite this, at least one of them would still be able to touch him.


    Legs was not done though; he was just starting.


    "Active Ability: Beast Amalgamation- Partial Form!"


    "Active Ability: Beast Amalgamation- Final Form!"


    Everything happened in the blink of an eye.


    With the portals to the beast ne still opened even as more beasts charged out of it to battle for his cause, he finally called on his remaining contracted beasts.


    Instantly, Legs formed the Void Monkey final form.


    Holding the Obsidian Spear, he looked utterly imperious at this moment but he still paled inparison to the apocalyptic power being employed by Admiral Gwen at this moment.


    Legs did not flinch though; he was not yet done.


    "Self-Created Ability: Telekinesis Domain!"


    BZZZ!


    His humungous mental power after consuming the remnant soul power of Emperor Nico Guaguam manifested at this moment like a hurricane of power.


    The telekinesis shield waspletely golden and fully condensed.


    It felt as thick as a wall.


    At this moment, this domain affected the atmosphere, partly interfering with the Eternal Frost cmity domain while also slowing down the icicles.


    Inside his domain, Legs'' offensive power increased exponentially as his telekinesis powers would passively amplify every single attack that he unleashed.


    Not just that, the domain also acted as his firstyer of defense.


    Legs already made tons of calctions in his mind.


    This battle could go either of 2 ways.


    He stood no match before a true Cmity Grade Super in a direct battle.


    It was either he made a mistake in his execution of his n and Admiral Gwen regains the initiative, throwing him off his bnce, dominating and humiliating himpletely in the process.


    The 2nd option was him aplishing his radical n sessfully.


    To aplish his radical ns, stars needed to align for him.


    Legs did not flinch though; he epted the challenge.


    And there was another conclusion, no matter which way this battle went, one thing was inevitable, it would end very swiftly.


    "Self-Created Ability: Body-Gravity Explosion!"


    BOOM!


    Power erupted from Legs'' surroundings, further affecting the icicles and slowing down their speed.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Temporal Control- Pause!"


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Temporal Control- eleration!"


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Rewind; Degradation!"


    Bzzzz!


    Time paused for 4 seconds but this time got shed down by half due to the incredible power of Legs'' opponent, she was a Cmity Grade Super.


    He had only 2 seconds of uninterrupted movement and it was enough for him as with the eleration, he turned into a red meteor in this.


    Boom!


    One moment, the icicles were falling down with force and speed, intent on impaling him and the next, everything paused as time paused and the next moment, Legs already elerated having activated his myriad speed skills.


    He arrived before Admiral Gwen''s face, bypassing all her defenses in nothing but an instant as his grip on his Obsidian Spear became tighter.


    Like Summoners, Mechanics, and Mages, Elementalists also tend to have high intelligence and this high intelligence came to y at this moment.


    Despite her whole body being frozen in time, Admiral Gwen''s mind was still active and that was all she needed as she moved her gigantic Elementalist staff.


    This staff rotated, stirring with energy as aggressive icy blue frost gathered around it but Legs was simply faster.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Rewind- Degradation!"


    He stabbed with his Obsidian spear in nothing but an instant.


    All these crazy maneuvers from him drained his temporal energy and mental energy like a running tap but in Legs'' opinion, it was all worth it.


    This was the only way that he could bridge the unbridgeable gap between the Grade B+ and Cmity Grades, and only he could do it.


    Bam!


    Admiral Gwen felt the spear''s tip hit her staff and her eyes widened.


    Before the shocked eyes of this extremely powerful Elementalist, her Elementalist staff degraded, turning into metal and the other powerful and rare exotics that were used in the production of this expensive weapon.


    She was now weaponless, her offense and defense dropped by half immediately but it was toote for her to react.


    2 seconds just barely finished but Legs was already at her face.


    He was already prepared; she could perform no magic against him.


    Legs'' eyes glowed in rage and revenge.


    His telekinesis energy became rampant as it coated the Obsidian Spear with golden energy. His temporal energy also reacted, coating the spear''s edge in red even as he activated the eleration ability again.


    Glowing golden and red, the Obsidian Spear was bloated with power.


    "Self-Created Ability: Nature Connection!"


    "Self-Created Ability: Nature''s Rage!"


    Both abilities stacked, taking his offensive power to the next level.


    And finally, Legs struck.


    "Feel my rage!" He roared.


    CRKRRSH!


    Reality was cut!

 Chapter 601 Confronting a Calamity Grade Super! [2]

    <h4>Chapter 601 Confronting a Cmity Grade Super! [2]</h4>


    Legs cut reality!


    CRKRRSH!


    A ck tear appeared through space at this moment.


    In this ck tear, time and space seemed to distort and fight as through this distorted reality, the de of the Spear kept on cutting through imperiously.


    Admiral Gwen''s eyes widened to the limits, everything was happening so fast and out of her expectations that even as a Cmity Grade, she could not react.


    The imperious de of the Obsidian Spear cut through all theyers of frost created by her Eternal Frost, bypassing this importantyer of defense.


    In an instant, the de of the Spear was before her body.


    This Admiral felt slight fear as shock gripped her being.


    "Curly Cold Sea!" This was the only words she could mutter.


    BZZZ!


    Instantly after she muttered them, the light icy blue armor that surrounded her body reacted instantly as it released a powerful blue pulse of energy.


    What seemed like water erupted out of the armor, forming a gigantic curly cold sea around this Admiral''s body. It was an imprable Cold Sea.


    This was Admiral Gwen''sstyer of defense; it met the imperious de the next moment as this Admiral''s eyes widened even further.


    There was a loud grinding sound that grated at the ears on impact.


    Then there was a loud bursting sound¡­


    BANG!


    The icy blue armor shattered!


    "¡­!" Shock and fear clouded this Admiral''s mind the next moment.


    The icy blue armor was an armor specially crafted for her by 2 Cmity Grade Supers, a Mage and a Mechanic, only other Cmity Grade Supers could damage it yet this armor just shattered.


    This meant a whole lot of things.


    The most important point at this moment though was that despite still being a Grade B+ Super, somehow, Legs was able to generate a power that already attained Cmity Grade power without seeking external assistance.


    This was impossible!


    This was against the rules of nature!


    This was against the rules of the Super world!


    This was not supposed to happen.


    ''How?'' Admiral Gwen was thrown into a spiral of shock and self-doubt.


    ''How?!'' She felt fear.


    ''How¡­?!'' For a moment, she felt despair.


    And finally, it hit.


    BOOM¡­!


    The force pushed Admiral Gwen backwards as she flew through the air like an airne that just lost control after its pilot was assassinated mid-flight.


    As for the imperious sharpness of the Spear''s de, with her armor gone, this enabled this de to cut through the right side of her chest.


    Blood sttered everywhere like a shower of rain as a terrible gash prated right through her shoulder-de joints.


    "Ugh¡­!" This Admiral groaned in pain as she flew backward.


    "¡­"


    "¡­!"


    "¡­..!"


    For a moment, Singh stood still in shock.


    They just witnessed something shocking.


    They just witnessed something of legends and myths.


    ''A Grade B+ Super just injured one of the Admirals, a Cmity Grade Super?!'' They found it hard to wrap their heads around this reality.


    They refused to ept this reality.


    They struggled to ept it.


    ''HOW?!'' They screamed in their minds, expecting an answer from the heavens but none came.


    Only the blood flying in the air and the now injured Admiral Gwen made it evident that they were not dreaming, all that just happened was real.


    BAM!


    Admiral Gwen could not stop her uncontrolled flight as she collided against one of the high-rising buildings of this metropolis, levelling it to the ground.


    With a loud explosion, she rose back out of it into the air.


    Rage clouded this Admiral''s face as she rose back up.


    Anger, embarrassment, shame, regret, multiple negative emotions stacked on top her single face at this moment as she red at her enemy.


    Legs remained floating in the air without making another attack.


    His Obsidian Spear remained on his right hand that was ced at his side, and with the blood dripping out of it at this moment paired alongside his army of beasts that were behind him, he seemed like an imperious God of War.


    "How dare you?!" Admiral Gwen screamed in a shrill voice the next moment filled with rage and shame.


    "I shall kill you!"


    "I shall eradicate every trace of you from history!"


    "I shall not stop at that, I shall eradicate everything dear to you, your mercenary group, your godson, your students¡­, I shall kill them all!" She screamed.


    At this moment, everyone could tell that she already lost it.


    Admiral Gwen''s mind was now clouded with rage.


    Watching her, Legs'' brows briefly furrowed.


    Injuring a Cmity Grade Super while being a Grade B+ Super was a crazy feat perhaps never achieved before now in history, but he only managed to achieve it because of the many factors that aligned before him.


    The most important factor of all was that Admiral Gwen underestimated him, she saw him like all the other Grade B+ geniuses that she had seen.


    This was what paved the way for Legs'' n to work.


    The other factors were Legs'' Void Monkey form and his Supreme Talents.


    In that form, his physical strength was more powerful than any Grade B+ Pugilist alive and mixed with his crazy self-created abilities, his effective power already closed in on the Cmity Grade.


    Mixing this already crazy advantage further with the incredible power of his mind channeled by telekinesis, Legs finally broke the barrier, pushing his power to the Cmity Grade.


    And adding his bloodline powers to the mix, Legs achieved a minor push from the very lowest levels of the Cmity Grade.


    This was what gave him the power to destroy Admiral Gwen''s armor.


    This was what also gave him the power to injure her.


    But this was not sustainable.


    The expenditures in terms of his mental power and temporal power were just too much. At this moment, both of these energies already drained below 50%, leaving him hanging on a thread if he decided to go berserk again.


    At this moment, despite them not being present, he had no doubt that Admiral Zhao, President Dunk, and all the other Admirals of Nak State had channels that enabled them to spectate this battle.


    Originally, he expected that after he injured Admiral Gwen, that would be enough as a show of strength on his part that would push Admiral Zhao toe out and settle this dispute but Admiral Zhao was yet to make a show.


    This ruined his back-up n, pushing him to the edge.


    Thinking for just a second enabled him to understand their thoughts though.


    ''They probably think that this is incredibly humiliating for Admiral Gwen''.


    ''To reduce the humiliation a bit, they intend for her to get back at me, beating me thoroughly as revenge before they intervene before she can kill me''.


    ''That way, both sides would have gotten the chance to get at each other''.


    It was a perfect n that would put President Dunk and the Nak State at the best spot to make peace with both sides but¡­, Legs had no intentions toply with this n.


    He had no intentions to receive a battering from his most hated enemy at this moment.


    "I will kill you!" Admiral Gwen continued screaming in a shrill voice.


    She no longer just screamed though; she made her move.


    Having witnessed his shocking power once already, she dared not take any chances. As she rushed towards him, she already stacked multiple frost defenses around her body to counter any attack.


    As for her offense though, as an Elementalist, that was her forte.


    Terrifying storms of ice and frost gathered before this Admiral.


    She literally turned into a moving avnche of frosty disaster at this moment as she charged on the mercenary with her full power zing on all cylinders.


    She was adamant to get her revenge.


    Legs felt the pressure but like before, he did not cower.


    He took a deep breath. ''You''re not the only one feeling untold rage at this moment, I feel even more rage than you do''.


    ''When I think about what Uranus would have gone through during all this time, I just want to rip you apart if I could''.


    ''Let''s see who has the most rage then''.


    Closing his eyes, Legs called on a power that hest used to its full potential over 50 years ago back in Darvis.

    ----


    For a brief moment, Legs felt engulfed by his anger.


    He was clouded in his rage as his eyes began glowing red, everything else faded from his world at this moment except the catalysts for his rage.


    The messages that induced his anger started floating back into his mind.


    [Uranus has been taken!]


    [It''s Admiral Gwen! I know it! That f*cking vixen!]


    [de confronted her on her but he was only arrested and ced in herary criminal prison, the Nightmare mercenary group is now beingbelled as a rogue mercenary group by some after this.]


    [F*ck! It''ll be harder to get missions now.]


    [Where the f*ck are you master?!]


    [Sender: Christensen]


    The memory of reading this message for the first time floated back in as his rage materialized as power, pushing him to an unprecedented level.


    [Master! This is my 49th message since 3 years ago when you disappeared, if you see this, please go back to the remaining 48 messages for details.]


    [Master¡­, we need your help!]


    [Sender: Christensen]


    ¡­


    [I tried to fill in the boots that you left but they proved too big for me to manage the burden, the Nightmare mercenary group that you created is crumbling.]


    [I hate to think that it crumbled under my watch.]


    [I''m sorry for failing your expectations¡­, I can''t be you.]


    [Wherever you are, if you''re seeing this, we need your help.]


    [Sender: de]


    ¡­


    [Dad, it''s been 3 years...]


    [I can''t anymore¡­, I need your help.]


    [Sender: Uranus]


    This was the straw that broke thest limit in his mind.


    He let his rage flow, he let his rage take control.


    Legs felt the weight of his rage and hatred for Admiral Gwen press on his shoulders like mountainous dumbbells at this moment but he did not buckle under the weight and pressure, he embraced it all.


    He turned this rage and hate into power.


    He turned it into motivation.


    Raising his head, he could see the apocalyptic eruption of frost and ice surging towards him with imperious power ready for destruction.


    No sane super that was beneath the Cmity Grade would dare to take this power head-on but at this moment, Legs wanted to prove his insanity.


    "Today, I shall show you how insane I can be!" He roared back at her.


    "Today, I shall show you what happens when you touch my students!"


    "Today, I shall show you what happens when you touch my godson!"


    "Today, I won''t fall until I defeat you".


    It seemed like just words but they came from Legs'' heart and as his brain registered it, it manifested through his rage as power at this moment.

    ----


    Instantly, Legs felt that familiar feeling of indomitability that he felt half a century ago return to him, that feeling of undisputed confidence.


    His scent, hearing, and instincts all be god-like in an instant.


    The world became slower before him.


    He was able to track the trajectory of all Admiral Gwen''s crazy Elementalist attacks as they flew towards him at this moment, and in that moment, his crazy current brain capacity helped him to device hundreds of countermeasures.


    This was his maximum brain capacity.


    Heck, this was parallel processing.


    Legs activated the Battle God- Legs and Battle Controller temporary adrenaline abilities and instantly, he seemed to turn into a true god.


    When Legs started his training, he had a lot of goals among which he already achieved a lot of them but one of his most important goals that he was yet to attain was getting a telepathic ability.


    A telepathic ability that enabled him tomunicate effortlessly and in real-time with his contracted beasts and tamed beasts no matter how fast-paced the battle at his current and future levels would be.


    This was one of the ultimate levels of power that he envisioned for his Cmity path and today, finally though temporarily, he got this power.


    Through the Battle Controller, Legs felt in control.


    Hemunicated with all the beasts in his armies, including all his tamed beasts with his mind alone, his brain power and processing was that ridiculous now.


    And now with the Battle God- Legs activated, he was able to draw upon the power of every single spectator in this battlefield today.


    With ess to so many powerful people, Legs felt bloated with power.


    And this power finally pushed him past the base.


    His base power finally made the big jump, skipping the theoretically impossible leap to the Cmity Grade realm.


    Legs was a Grade B+ Summoner who could now punch as strong as a Cmity Grade Super.


    This was stunning!


    This was terrifying!


    This was horrifying!


    Admiral Gwen''s attacks kept oning, and Legs finallyunched his counterattack against this incredible wave.


    The initiative was no longer with Admiral Gwen, it was now his.


    Today was all about him, it was his show.


    ''Defend!'' He ordered through his mind.


    The tens of millions of beasts under hismand at this moment responded to themand as in tandem, they all unleashed their strongest defensive skills.


    Alone, against Admiral Gwen''s power they stood no match but when enough quantity is stacked together, it bes possible to defeat even quality.


    And with quality like Legs at the helm, this feat became even easier.


    BAM!


    The giganticbined shield formed by all the beasts cracked, hundreds of thousands of beasts died instantly but the important thing was that Admiral Gwen''s storm of attacks was neutralized.


    This Admiral''s eyes widened like saucers. "How?!"


    Legs smirked. "My turn".


    He took a step and heaven seemed to move in tandem with him.


    He swung his Obsidian Spear and the gates of the abyss seemed to vibrate to it, the power of nature was called upon the next moment.


    "Self-Created Ability: Nature''s Rage!"


    Oh boy, Singh was up for history.


    KABOOM¡­!

 Chapter 603 Legolas Show; I Am The Strongest Grade B+ Summoner Alive! [2]

    ?


    Never in the history of Nak has a scenario like this been experienced.


    This was unprecedented.


    This was new.


    This was shock in a literal form!


    -----


    [You have unlocked the temporary Adrenaline Ability: Battle God- Legs!]


    >Battle God- Legs: This is a simtion of your ultimate state that is possible ording to your potential. In this state, you are able to be the possible best version of yourself in the Grade B+ Realm!<


    [NOTE: Only when activated can you truly be a Battle Controller!]


    ----


    As soon as Legs saw this notification, things cleared up for him.


    His mind gained serenity amid his rage at this moment.


    This was because he just saw his end goal.


    The Unrivalled Battle Controller state that he was fortunate to trigger for the 2nd time in his life just enabled him to see his end goal, the end goal that he had been working towards for the past half a century.


    With the Battle God- Legs active, he was finally able to take a sneak peak into the best possible version of himself that would take him to the next stage.


    The best possible version was what he had been striving for since.


    It was perfection.


    It was the penultimate goal of his.


    "The Cmity path of the Archgrandmaster". Legs muttered.


    This was it!


    He had over 100% base control level with all of his beasts.


    Not just that, his unique skills and his incredible training in Rockfest enabled him to push the durability and strength of his body to the peak, enabling him to now be a master of the Diamond-Beast Body Path.


    Heck, he had even more defense than most Pugilists.


    His training in Rockfest and subsequent training in Gorr enabled him to develop self-created techniques, both those that connected him to nature and those that enabled him to make use of his bloodline powers.


    This development made him a master of the Beast Combatant Path.


    All hisbat techniques were groundbreaking and dangerous.


    He was already a master of the Shepherd path since long ago, he mastered it first which reflected through the sheer number of beasts that he was able to call on to aid him in this battle, they literally filled everywhere.


    This was not all, he also already mastered the Path of the Grandmaster.


    Being a Grandmaster Beast Tamer, this was easy for him as it increased his power even further. Despite all these masteries though, his cmity path was yet to be made perfect, his aim was just so freakishly high.


    But today, for the first time, Legs saw his end goal.


    With the Battle God- Legs, he saw his perfect state with his Cmity Path perfected. This was the power that he had always sought.


    ''This is it!''


    ''Perfection atst!''


    He was excited but it did nothing to quench his rage.


    It only fueled it¡­, his blood boiled.


    BAM!


    The gigantic shield formed by his beasts shattered and he was unleashed.


    Admiral Gwen''s eyes widened like saucers. "How?!"


    Legs smirked. "My turn".


    He took a step and heaven seemed to move in tandem with him.


    He swung his Obsidian Spear and the gates of the abyss seemed to vibrate to it, the power of nature was called upon the next moment.


    "Self-Created Ability: Nature''s Rage!"


    "ROARRRR¡­!" Predator roared through Legs having been feeding on his rage since as he swung the Obsidian Spear with all the power that now filled his bloated muscles.


    Admiral Gwen only saw a red streak move through the air.


    Her eyes widened even further but there was nothing that she could do, it arrived before her in nothing but an instant and fulfilled its mandate.


    Oh boy, Singh was up for history.


    KABOOM¡­!


    A bright sh of red erupted as power flooded everywhere, the force pushed the closest spectators far away as they were all shocked.


    Destruction, blood, chaos¡­


    History was made.


    "URGGGH¡­!" Admiral Gwen growled loudly in pain.


    "ARGGGH¡­!" From a growl, it turned to a scream of pain.


    The Spear attack was a culmination of what Legs envisioned.


    It was an attack spearheaded by the Cmity Path of the Maverick- the Cmity Path of the Archgrandmaster!


    Despite activating most of her defenses on feeling the threat, Admiral Gwen''s fate was sealed, all she did was dying the inevitable.


    The spear cut through all her defenses before cutting through the new armor that she wore after her primary armor was destroyed.


    After cutting through her new armor, it cut into her fair skin.


    Blood sttered like a fountain of water spraying from an ocean.


    Elementalists were not the best at defense.


    The spear cut all the way through Admiral Gwen''s torso!


    "ARGGGH¡­!"


    Her scream of terror and pain chilled souls.


    Her scream of agony wrote a moment in history.


    Her suffering painted a new memory to all who witnessed it, it tilted the millennium-established dominance and tyranny of the Cmity Grade.


    ''So, a Grade B+ Super can do this to a Cmity Grade?!'' This question briefly shed through a thousand minds but this was just the beginning.


    Admiral Gwen scrambled for her life as her health points kept on draining rapidly after receiving such a life-threatening and decapitating attack.


    Legs spoke again, his rage was yet to be abated.


    "Your mistake was deciding not to just target me".


    "Your mistake was targeting my students".


    "Your mistake was targeting my godson".


    "Your mistake was targeting my home".


    "Your mistake was targeting the Nightmare mercenary group".


    "Hehe¡­," Legs chuckled in a malicious manner. "They''re my family".


    "No one targets my family and goes scot-free".


    Admiral Gwen looked at this Summoner from afar with a terrified expression now on her face. "N-no¡­!"


    "Please¡­"


    "No¡­!"


    Legs'' eyes narrowed like a snake''s as they glinted ruthlessly.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Temporal Control- eleration!"


    He grinned maliciously. "Let this be known¡­"


    "I am the strongest Grade B+ Summoner alive!"


    Legs turned into a red streak rushing through the air.


    BOOM!

 Chapter 604 Humiliation

    ?


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    A dark history kept on being written in Singh.


    The spectators were no longer just shocked, having epted the situation, they now reacted just like fans watching a blockbuster horror and action movie.


    "Self-Created Ability: Beast Mirage!"


    "Self-Created Ability: Stick like a Bull; Sting like a Viper!"


    "Self-Created Ability: Nature Connection!"


    "Feel my rage¡­!" Legs roared as he vent his anger on her.


    BAM!


    Admiral Gwen seemed to turn into a rag doll being beat from one ce to another by a stubborn owner.


    "Self-Created Ability: Telekinesis Domain!"


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Temporal Control- eleration!"


    "Self-Created Ability: Body-Gravity Explosion!"


    "Feel my anger!"


    BOOM¡­!


    It was no longer a vengeance duel; it was now a one-sided battering.


    Admiral Gwen held on to dear life with all her power.


    She was barely surviving.


    At this moment, she was receiving a total decimation.


    Even as he beat her, Legs tortured her with wordsing from his mouth.


    Having lost all will to resist already, she could no longer even use her full power due to fear and the trauma of what happened today as the thoughts that dominated her mind were how she could escape this battle.


    It was humiliation of the highest degree.


    Thoughts of justmitting suicide and ending it all kept on shing into her mind but she was just too cowardly to do it.


    The more she suffered, the more she feared for her life.


    She felt like running into a hole to cower and hide for eternity.


    She was traumatized.


    She was devastated and in agony.


    She was damaged both physically and emotionally.


    As for Legs, his rage kept on fueling and pushing him on.


    He wanted to kill Admiral Gwen; he was determined to do it.


    All the spectators in their shock just kept on watching and it was while they watched that certain beasts led other beasts on side missions.


    ¡­


    Located at one of the most fortified locations in this, the Great Prison of Cordyceps Tower was where the most heinous criminals of Nak State captured in these regions were imprisoned and kept.


    At this moment, a certain Pugilist was still in prison when everything started.


    He heard the voice when he came, he recognized the voice.


    ''Master¡­'' de felt worried.


    His master was strong but against an Admiral of the Nak State, even he had to bow to reality and admit that the gap in power was too big to be breached.


    To his shock though, this battle dragged on for minutes.


    ''Is master doing it?''


    ''How is he able to fight her for so long?''


    Then he felt it.


    BZZZ!


    de''s eyes widened. ''The Battle Controller State''.


    Nostalgia instantly filled this Pugilist''s eyes.


    He was there over 50 years ago during the struggle against Newton, the leader of the Clown Society when his master pulled off this mysterious ability for the first time, drawing upon unimaginable power to defeat the enemy.


    Since then, his master had never used this ability again so de naturally assumed that he could only use it once, he never expected it again now.


    Feeling the connection with his master even as power left him to aid his master in battle, de felt happy, he felt confidence surge in him.


    For the first time since he became imprisoned, heughed.


    "Hahahaha¡­!"


    "Hahahaha¡­!"


    He didn''t stay here for much longer.


    BOOM!


    Beasts broke into the Great Prison of Cordyceps Tower.


    As for the certain beasts that led the others¡­, they were 4 familiar beasts, 3 gigantic and powerful Direwolves and a familiar Spilodon.


    de''s eyes lit up on seeing these familiar faces after so long.


    "Rogue 1, Rogue 2, Rogue 3¡­, Bone!" He called.


    "Awooo¡­!" The Direwolves went into action.


    In mere seconds, de was out of prison.


    de led them even as the battle outside kept raging on, and about 2 minutester, Christensen, Uranus, and the rest of the Nightmare mercenary group were rescued as they all came outside.


    Outside, they saw their master wreaking havoc with abandon.


    At the beginning, Admiral Gwen''s pride as one of the strongest warriors of the Nak State still pushed her to resist and try fighting back but as time went on, her situation became more and more hopeless.


    Legs'' formidable strength broke this warrior''s spiritpletely.


    And now, she already lost all fighting spirit.


    "Please don''t kill me¡­!"


    "I don''t want to die¡­"


    "Please¡­"


    This was the epitome of humiliation.


    This battle was not being broadcasted but to the spectators who saw it, it was an eyesore, they were not able to keep a straight face seeing this scene.


    As for a certain Admiral that was supposed to be the peacemaker, he was short of actions to take since the situation already spiraled out of his expectations.


    Admiral Gwen being beaten¡­, he never thought of it, not even in his wildest dreams and imagination. This was beyond shocking.


    "What are you waiting for? Intervene!" President Dunk roared.


    He finally jolted back to the present.


    In the end, no matter what Admiral Gwen did, she was still a bonafide Admiral of the Nak State, the present situation was not eptable.


    Finally, the War Mechanic made his move.


    BZZZ!


    A gigantic blue teleportation portal opened close to the battlefield the next moment as from inside it, a gigantic gray mechanic suit popped out.


    The eyes of this mechanic suit glowed red as they honed on its target.


    The hands of this mechanic suit were cannonunchers.


    This was one of Admiral Zhao''s strongest mechanic suits, Der Bomber.


    The cannonunchers were currently aimed at Legs.


    "Self-Created Mechanic Ability: Explosive Amplification!"


    Admiral Zhao pulled the trigger.


    BOOM! BOOM!


    2 canons wereunched and instantly, time seemed to freeze.


    A loud whooshing sound reverberated instantly after the booming sounds as the highly destructive canons rapidly elerated towards the rampaging Summoner, intent on destroying anything on their path.


    Any other Grade B+ Super would die to this attack instantly.


    Admiral Zhao just entered this battlefield and without saying a word attacked Legs, Legs was not stupid. He knew that the Nak State still needed him and they also had no intentions of losing an Admiral, which meant this was likely a test.


    Admiral Zhao was one of the strongest Admirals of the Nak State.


    Admiral Gwen stood no chance before him.


    Legs confirmed it after making multiple calctions in his head in an instant, taking advantage of his incredible brain power at this moment and his capability for parallel processing.


    He arrived at his conclusion. ''This is a test''.


    ''They want to see how strong I actually am to know the approach that they''ll take towards addressing this situation and negotiating with me''.


    He grinned deviously. ''I guess there''s no need holding anything back then''.


    His eyes gleamed, and again today, he did not back down.


    He was done with backing down.


    For the first time since entering gctic space, he wanted to stand for himself and his family, he felt he had what it took to stand for himself now.


    Legs'' eyes narrowed even as red temporal energy revolved around him aggressively as he unleashed his ultimate attack.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Temporal Destruction- Temporal Bomb!"


    Eyes were attracted to it as soon as the attack was unleashed.


    Everyone that looked at it only saw destruction.


    They felt a mortal feeling of danger.


    And it erupted.


    BOOMMMM¡­!


    Temporal destruction urred¡­, Legs'' induced destruction.

 Chapter 605 Handling The Situation

    ?


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Temporal Destruction- Temporal Bomb!"


    Its target range was just a kilometer around Legs but this was already crazy, again this was unprecedented.


    BZZZ!


    Spacetime warped, squeezing like a piece of cloth being drained of water in preparation to be dried under the sun.


    A terrifying red power spread everywhere rampantly like a gue, covering a region of a kilometer around Legs as a feeling of doom spread everywhere.


    Luckily, no one was in this vicinity when it detonated.


    The only thing in this vicinity was Admiral Zhao''s 2 powerful cannons and unfortunately, Admiral Zhao himself in his mechanical suit, Der Bomber.


    BOOMMMM¡­!


    And it detonated.


    Temporal destruction urred!


    With the temporal destruction- temporal bomb, Legs gained the impossible and if known should be forbidden ability to destroy time itself.


    By destroying time, he could induce a deadly temporal bomb that causes a storm of unstoppable destruction, leaving everything in its wake in a timeless loop.


    That was exactly what happened at this moment.


    Just imagine time being destroyed¡­, it was crazy!


    BOOM¡­!


    BOOM¡­!


    BOOM¡­!


    The sound induced was like that of exploding dominoes.


    Those that were too close got their eardrums burst on the spot.


    As for those that saw it, they only saw what seemed like an army of red dragons in the air attacking and devouring each other, attacking and devouring each other, and repeating this sequence again and again.


    It was crazy.


    It was shocking.


    It was destructive.


    It was goosebumps-inducing.


    From the initial destruction of time in the region of a kilometer, the 2 powerful cannons could not resist it as they were instantly obliterated.


    What followed was hell on Singh for Admiral Zhao.


    One of his favorite mechanic suits saw hell.


    Der Bomber was no longer Der Bomber.


    The explosive sounds of this incredible destructionsted for a dozen seconds before everything suddenly died down like nothing happened.


    A region of absolute destruction was what was left in its wake.


    The only thing that survived was a wreck.


    The scrap remains of Der Bomber.


    Bzzz! Bzzz!


    Electricity crackled around the hefty mechanical suit, testament to the lethal amount of damage that it just soaked in at this moment.


    All its surface armor was torn apart and filled with damages.


    The destruction ravaged these expensive metal alloys.


    Error messages filled Admiral Zhao''s interface.


    Silence!


    Shocked silence dominated Singh.


    Admiral Gwen was well known as the weakest Admiral in Nak State but who was Admiral Zhao?


    He was the War Machine.


    A veteran warrior of a thousand battles against the Ackermanns and beyond.


    A war veteran who had proven his battle prowess countless times in high-stakes wars where he was needed the most.


    To most, Admiral Zhao was among the top 3 in terms of the strongest Admirals in Nak State and what the f*ck just happened?


    This Admiral just had one of his strongest mechanical suits scrapped.


    And by who?


    A f*cking Grade B+ brat!


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­..!"


    The spectators were drowned in their shock.


    Admiral Gwen shuddered where she levitated in space. She knew more than anyone else that if she was engulfed in that destructive storm, there was a 100% guarantee that she would be dining with her ancestors in Valha by now.


    Inside his scrapped mechanical suit, Admiral Zhao was beyond shocked.


    He was bbergasted. ''What power!''


    ''So much potential!'' Thoughts spiraled through his mind.


    This was not the end though!


    BOOMMMM¡­!


    "¡­!"


    Everyone shuddered.


    It urred again; it started all over.


    The destruction of time, the sheer destruction caused by the temporal bomb that followed, the aftermath of sheer disaster left in its wake.


    Everything yed again¡­, it was a time loop.


    A f*cking time loop!


    "¡­!" Admiral Zhao''s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.


    Instantly, memories of years ago popped into his mind, at the outskirts of the Nak territory when he beheld a temporal storm in its full glory.


    ''He¡­, h-he can induce a temporal storm?!'' This Admiral was losing it.


    The sheer significance of this moment soon registered in his head.


    Admiral Zhao dared not hesitate, he took action.


    BZZZZ!


    His apocalyptic maic energy surged out in its full glory the next moment as his Der Bomber mechanical suit disappeared to be reced by a mechanical suit that seemed toe straight out of a movie a million years into the future.


    It was hefty, it was heavily armored, and it was heavily weaponized.


    This was the gship mechanic suit of the War Machine.


    Its name? The War Machine.


    BZZZ!


    A gigantic pulse of energy erupted from this gigantic mechanic suit the next moment, creating a blue shield that covered Singh as a whole.


    What just happened was information that could not be allowed to leave this by any means, Legs'' importance just rose countless levels higher.


    This gigantic blue shield cut off all spying eyes looking into Singh.


    Nothing and no one coulde in or go out.


    BZZZZ!


    A gigantic metal box as big as a skyscraper appeared in the skies as from inside, an army of millions of mechanical soldiers surged out.


    They flooded the streets of Singh in no time.


    Every witness of this moment had to sign a confidentiality contract that would bind them to prevent the details of what happened today from going out.


    After employing all these measures, Admiral Zhao finally focused on Legs with a serious face before looking towards Admiral Zhao.


    BZZZZ!


    He activated an ability and all 3 of them disappeared.


    Legs saw himself appear in a world with virtual blue lights all around him, this was the world of the quantum node exclusive to Admiral Zhao.


    In this world, he was in control and no one could peak in here unless it was a Virtual Mechanic that was far more powerful than Admiral Zhao.


    Every mechanic of that level was a Beyond Grade A Super.


    In here, they had the whole room to themselves.


    Admiral Zhao looked at Admiral Gwen, thisdy was already sobbing. "Avenge me Zhao!"


    "Avenge me!"


    "How dare he humiliate me?"


    "Quiet Gwen!" Admiral Zhao had a stern look on his face. "You''ve humiliated yourself enough, allow me to handle the situation".


    Admiral Gwen gritted her teeth with a hateful look on her face but on inclining her head to look at Legs, she could only look down in shame.


    She was smart; she already epted her situation.


    Admiral Zhao focused on Legs. "I''m sorry¡­"


    "There''s no use beating around the bush". Legs cut him off.


    "I''ve already been angered, let me list out what I want inpensation".


    Admiral Zhao narrowed his eyes in slight annoyance but he did not interject.


    Legs was smart. He knew from the beginning that he had no chances of killing Admiral Greg, the Nak State would never allow that.


    His reason for all this drama was for this exact moment. Since he could not get his revenge through death, he would get it through other means, other means that were far more beneficial to him and his cause.


    "First, I want full ownership of the Roronoa Star System and Titania".


    "Second, I want the rightful ce of the Nightmare Army reinstated".


    "Third, I want ess rights to the hidden trainings for my 2 students and my godson".


    "4th, I want all the resources on this list".


    A long list in a book floated towards Admiral Zhao the next moment.


    ncing through them once, Admiral Zhao''s eyes narrowed in shock.


    He looked at Legs. "The President will decide".


    "That''s ok by me".


    Throughout, Admiral Gwen could only grit her teeth.


    It was like this whole sequence of events was nned out from the very beginning and she was just a side character in the story. Just the mere thought of it made her want to vomit blood out of anger.

 Chapter 606 New Status; Plans

    ?


    An hour after the battle at Singh.


    Inside the Presidential Vi of Nak State, at this moment, Legs was standing before the sovereign of Nak State again, President Dunk.


    This time, they were not alone.


    Alongside them in here was Admiral Zhao and Chief Admiral Gregory, the strongest and 3rd strongest Admirals of the Nak Navy.


    President Dunk stood, silently looking outside his window again which was something that already became a hobby of his in recent years.


    "The Azure Pantheon, the Crimson Dynasty, the Warlord Alliance¡­, these are the 3 Universal Civilizations governing the universe".


    "They''re the hegemons of the universe".


    "The Gundogan Star Cluster under the rule of the Gundogan High Race is a region under the jurisdiction of the Azure Pantheon, and we the Minerva Star System are under the Gundogan Star Cluster".


    "Decades ago, when I was younger, as a budding talented Presidential candidate of Nak State, I had the privilege to visit the headquarters of one of the 3 Universal Civilizations located at the center of the universe".


    "There, I saw the pinnacle of life and supers".


    "There, I saw some of the strongest Beyond Grade A''s all across the universe gather".


    "There, I saw 2 Beyond Grade A''s sh in battle for the first time".


    "There, I saw peerless geniuses from over a thousand races across the universe gather".


    "There, I felt an inferiorityplex for the first time in my life".


    "There also, I met him, the Soul Emperor Clorex".


    "Then, he was just a Grade B+ Super".


    "Recognized as one of the Beyond Grade A seeds of the Azure Pantheon right from when he was just 40, he underwent special training right there in the headquarters of one of the strongest powers in the world".


    "There, he lived up to the expectations of his potential, blossoming into a peerless genius that could only be born in countless lifetimes".


    "They say geniuses are 9 times out of 10 always arrogant".


    "Clorex was one of them, he was arrogance personified".


    "When we just arrived, he challenged one of our Cmity Grade retainers that was sent as entourage by the Gundogan High Race to a battle".


    "Cmity Grades are all egoists; they are all veteran warriors with big egos that were rightfully stroked after a thousand battles of suffering and survivals".


    "Then, the Cmity Fist Agnarok politely refused the challenge due to his respect for the Azure Pantheon but the arrogant Clorex was adamant".


    "He spat on his face, hehe¡­," President Dunk chuckled, at this moment he felt like an old pirate who was reminiscing the good old days of adventures.


    "Agnarok was a Pugilist, they don''t have the best reputation in terms of their personalities, he lost it after that provocation".


    "This provocation heralded one of the most shocking and eye-opening moment of my life that partly shaped who I am today".


    "The Soul Emperor, then just a Grade B+ Super challenged Agnarok who was a renowned Cmity Grade Super to a duel".


    "Guess what?" President Dunk turned to face Legs for the first time with a calm smile. "They imed it was a draw but for those of us who saw it in real time, it was definitely not a draw". He chuckled again.


    "The Soul Emperor won¡­, as a Grade B+ Super".


    "Can you believe it?"


    "The Azure Pantheon imed it was a draw to save some face for the Cmity Fist but it didn''t matter, what matters was that I was able to experience one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life".


    "Then, I thought¡­, this is definitely the pinnacle of talent!"


    "No other genius can attain this height, ever!"


    "Over a centuryter, I was proven right¡­," He smiled gently as he looked at Legs. "Till today".


    "Legs, if you ever realize your Cmity Path, you will be one of the strongest Cmity Grades if not the strongest to grace the Minerva Star System".


    "I want to use this opportunity to extend my best interests to you".


    President Dunk kept a gentle smile on his face. "Legs¡­, will you be the next President of Nak State after me?"


    "¡­"


    Legs was stunned, he was dumbfounded.


    "Don''t worry about the stress, I will still be alive then and I can delegate capable assistants to help you with all the administrative duties".


    "You will have all the time to focus on your power and like you always wanted, you will have all the resources of a state at your disposal".


    "Think of how much faster you will grow stronger with so much resources at your disposal".


    "Who knows? You may be the next Soul Emperor".


    Legs smiled for the first time. "I really feel like royalty when you put it that way, I never expected my status to be that high already but sorry, I have no intentions of bing a President".


    "What of bing an official warrior of Nak State?"


    "No".


    President Dunk sighed in regret. "What a pity".


    "But I hope you''ll always remain our ally".


    "So long you also always remain an ally to me".


    "We will". President Dunk replied immediately.


    The President located his chair and sat down. "I went through the list that you provided".


    "I am shocked, most of the metal alloys and materials on that list are extremely rare materials that most people in the Gundogan Star Cluster don''t know of all their lives".


    "How do you know them and what do you intend to do with them?"


    "I prefer not to speak".


    President Dunk nodded. "That''s reasonable".


    "So¡­, can I get them or not?" Legs looked hopefully at the President.


    "Your first to third wants have been fulfilled, effective immediately but your 4th want will be dyed since even for us, it is incredibly hard to get some of the materials that you wrote there".


    "We''ll give you all the ones avable now and sort the otherster, is that eptable with you?"


    Legs smiled. "Yes".


    "In exchange¡­," President Dunk''s face turned solemn. "I want you to fulfill your part of our agreement against the Beast Coalition".


    Hearing that, Legs'' ears perked up. "Update me".


    President Dunk gestured for Chief Admiral Gregor to step up who did not hesitate. Using a slide, this Chief Admiral painted the full picture of the progress of the war between the Beast Coalition and the Nak and Ackermann States.


    The beasts were indeed running wild, both States had suffered a lot.


    Legs took a deep breath. "I need a month to prepare".


    "In a month, we''ll implement my n".

 Chapter 607 The Existence In The Shadows

    ?


    Territory of the Beast Empire¡­


    The Shelter Priest¡­


    3 years was a sizeable amount of time when a gctic war between races raged. During this time, the Beast Coalition was able to deal a lot of damage to the Nak and Ackermann States, destabilizing their economy.


    Despite their exploits on the battlefront, all of these in the Beast King''s eyes paled inparison to their greatest feat of all, the Beast Empire.


    After years of nning it, the Beast Empire finally had a permanent territory.


    It was part of the previously unexplored territory outside the territories of the Nak and Ackermann States.


    Alone, the beasts did not have the means to colonize such arge territory to be their own without alerting their nearby hostile powers but they had support, the support that pushed them into a lot of their decisions.


    The Beast King''s clever decisions despite the external pressure made it possible for the Beast Coalition to continue thriving despite the sometimes-above-board orders from their hidden backer.


    Today though, there was a sudden call from their hidden backer.


    Ring! Ring!


    In seconds, the 5 Upper Beast Priests of the Beast Coalition were gathered alongside the Beast King like they were expecting it as they got set to take the call.


    Beep!


    A blurry virtual projection of a shapeless and emotionless existence shrouded in shadows appeared before them the next moment.


    "¡­" Silence reigned for 5 seconds after this existence appeared.


    "Good job on what you have been doing for the past 3 years, the master is pleased".


    "Thank you for thepliment". The Beast King, the Demonic Lion nodded.


    "My reason foring today is because our spies detected a juicy piece of news, I want to confirm if it is correct".


    "Call your spy". The existence demanded.


    "¡­" All the Upper Beast Priests fidgeted uneasily on hearing this demand.


    The Demonic Lion took a deep breath. "The Espionage Priest is one of the most important Beast Priests aiding the cause of the Beast Coalition".


    "It was with his vital help that we have been able toe this far".


    "I can confirm to you that the news your spies got is correct but I''m sorry, the Espionage Priest already risked his life to confirm it to us once already, I can''t afford risking him being caught just to confirm it a 2nd time".


    A golden glow appeared in the middle of this ck existence the next moment, they separated into 2 glows that seemed to represent eyes.


    The golden eyes formed a sharp contrast with its ck existence.


    The next moment, these golden eyes narrowed as they red at the Demonic Priest. "You''re getting something wrong here".


    "The master did not ask¡­, he''s ordering you".


    BZZZZ!


    An aura was instantly released by this ck existence and despite the fact that this was a long-distancemunication, this aura felt thick and oppressive even to the Cmity Grade Supers that were present here.


    The Beast King gritted his teeth under the oppression of this aura, he dared not resist it as he bowed his head in submission before whispering something.


    The next moment, a virtual projection appeared in this hidden chamber.


    He did not appear as Admiral Nathan, instead he appeared as the Shapeshifting Reptile, the Espionage Priest.


    The Beast King was able to achieve all that he did with the Beast Coalition only due to their backing but even he did not trust them, he dared not afford risking the spy identity of one of the most important Beast Priests under his cause.


    The ck existence did not seem to mind. "Describe everything that happened in detail and tell me everything about him".


    The green Shapeshifting Reptile took a deep breath.


    "His name is Legs¡­, Legs Baron".


    "He is a Grade B+ Demi-god Summoner".


    "He came from a in the Roronoa Star System, Darvis".


    "He is 75 years old".


    "75 years old?" The existence in ck asked, visibly surprised as the others could tell that his interest in this mystery summoner just grew higher.


    "He is the leader of the Nightmare Army".


    "A few hours ago, he fought against the weakest Admiral and Cmity Grade Super of the Nak State¡­," He paused. "And he won".


    Despite already hearing the confirmation from him before, hearing it again now, all the Upper Beast Priests present still took in a deep breath in shock.


    "Interesting¡­" The ck existence muttered.


    "Interesting¡­, tell me more, I want details".


    The Espionage Priest started as he continued narrating in detail.


    ¡­


    "Achoo¡­!"


    Uranus burst outughing. "Dad, are you ok? You''ve been sneezing for the past dozen minutes non-stop".


    Legs rubbed his nose. "I''m too strong to develop a cold".


    His eyes narrowed. "Is someone mentioning my name repeatedly, or is someone thinking about me?"


    "Maybe it''s love". Christensen joked.


    Legs red at him.


    "But master¡­," He protested. "You''re over 70 years old already, you''re so strong, you''ve literally achieved the perfect life that most other supers want already, why don''t you want to spice it up with some romance?"


    "Life is so much sweeter with a loving partner you know".


    Legsughed. "You''re wasting your time, I can''t love".


    Christensen ced his hands on his waist and red at him.


    Legsughed harder. "Anyways, I think I can love but I''m just not ready for it yet. When it''s time, you''ll know, I''ll bring a beautiful chick home".


    "Will she make Cosmic Beast Barbecue for me?"


    "Yes, she will Uranus".


    "Hehe¡­," This Titan chuckled.


    Uranus was already over 50 years but before his godfather, he still felt and behaved like a kid despite now being one of the strongest warriors of the Nightmare Army.


    After liberating his students and his army, they returned to their previous headquarters, reiming all that previously belonged to them.


    Under Commander ire''s leadership, the Nightmare Army gradually started operations again.


    Yes, ire, a capable assistant rmended by Christensen was the new stand-in Commander of the Nightmare Army under Legs'' approval.


    Neither his 2 students nor his godson could take care of the army on his behalf now, this was because Legs already paved the way for them to get even stronger through the hidden trainings of the Nak State.


    As for himself, he would also be unavable in the near future which ced ire as the best candidate to stand-in for him.


    Legs met ire for the first time a few dozen minutes ago and he was satisfied with her. Through his system interface, he confirmed that she was not a traitor which was all he needed to give the go-ahead.


    While his students got prepared to go train, he got prepared to go on a journey through memories.


    Legs wanted to go on a trip back to the Roronoa Star System.


    Before embarking on the mission that would likely bring this version of the game to an end, Legs wanted to take a trip back through memories.


    He wanted to be in the right state of mind for the decisive sh to implement all the ideas that he had in mind to get the most benefit from the sh.


    Having spent such a long time away from his students and godson, he wanted to spend some time with them before he embarked on his journey and he did just that even as Sophia and Nagana came in to join the reunion.


    Legs was having a nice family time, for now.

 Chapter 608 A Ride Through Memories

    ?


    50+ years ago¡­


    "Auction good #89".


    "This is an extremely rare ancient book that our leader, the Rabbit Seer himself unearthed during one of his famous journeys round the universe".


    "It is rumored to be a relic of an ancient civilization".


    "It is called the Book".


    "Starting bid for the Book is 5 million credits".


    "6 million credits for the Book".


    "7 million credits for the Book".


    Legs remained distracted but the unusual bidding attracted his attention. In almost all the others, powerful bidders instantly skyrocketed the price but for this item, they didn''t seem as interested and it attracted his attention.


    He looked at it and his eyes widened in shock.


    The title of this book was written in English!


    >Nursery Rhymes for Kids<


    ''F*ck! I almost missed it!''


    "20 million credits for the Book!" He roared; Christensen looked at him in shock but said nothing.


    "22 million credits for the Book!" Another voice said.


    "30 million credits for the Book!" Legs roared again.


    No other voicepeted with him. In their opinion, it was not worth it, this book may as well turn out to be just a piece of useless shit after buying it.


    They prepared their money for other goods so they no longer bid.


    "30 million going once!"


    "30 million going twice!"


    Bam!


    "Sold!"


    That was how he met the Seer Rabbit.


    Drunk in his memories, Legs had a subtle smile on his face as he let his thoughts drift aimlessly through the countless memories hidden in his head.


    Since reincarnating into this world, Legs had always been curious to know the mystery behind his reincarnation and Dominator as a whole.


    ''Was this still the game that he co-created?''


    ''What power brought him to this world?''


    ''What was the end goal?''


    He had a lot of questions and the only clue he had to deciphering the truth was the gray world, a developer package that he got out of the blue.


    When he became stronger and finally went deep in the gray world enough to read Maximus''s book, Legs felt relief above everything else.


    Relief on confirmation that he was not the first earthling to reincarnate here.


    He experienced a feeling of kinship unlike he had ever experienced before with Maximus despite the fact that in this new world, he had never met him once.


    Through Maximus'' guidance, he focused on increasing his power while achieving one incredible feat after the other until that fateful day at the auction.


    Meeting the Seer Rabbit changed his life forever as a lot more mysteries became clear to him.


    The powerful spaceship that he previously called the gray world was actually an extremely powerful Universal treasure called the Star Radler.


    While most Beyond Grade A supers didn''t even have basic Universal treasures, as a warrior far below them in power, he already had one.


    This realization opened his mind vastly to his true potential in this world.


    It was part of the motivation that pushed him into going only for the best and deciding to create the most powerful Cmity Path ever by a summoner.


    All those experiences pushed him and led to this moment.


    ''ording to the Rabbit, I need to be a Cmity Grade Super to get ess to the blueprint but he was kind enough to tell me what I needed for the repair of the Star Radler''.


    ''Finally, for the first time, I''ve gotten some of the materials needed''.


    With President Dunk fulfilling his part of the agreement, he got the resources and metal alloys that he was promised.


    Of course, the list he gave was the full list of materials and metal alloys needed to repair the Star Radler that the Seer Rabbit told him he could find here in the Minerva Star System.


    ''To get everything, I will need to leave the Minerva Star System''.


    ''Probably after the conclusion of this version''.


    He smiled. ''I wonder what the future has in store for me''.


    It was already a week since his battle against Admiral Gwen and during this time, he was able topensate his 3 years missing as he spent quality time with his students and godson but this could notst.


    They all had things that they needed to do.


    Today, Legs was finally seeing his students and godson off. "Don''t disgrace my name, make sure to dominate those geniuses of the Nak State".


    "Dad, I won''t disappoint you". Uranus dered solemnly.


    "We''ll try our best". Christensen smiled.


    With that, they finally left for their training.


    As soon as they left, Legs spent a few more minutes gathering his things before he boarded the upgraded version of his gship, the Legs Baron.


    Once he was in, this spaceship left for Crimson Ring.


    There, he picked up Champion Onana who already realized his Cmity Path and was simply waiting for the impetus to push him to the next grade.


    Together alongside the champion, they entered warp travel and started the journey back to the Roronoa Star System.


    This time, the journey was smooth and without problems.


    Bzzz!


    Arriving out of warp travel, Legs felt like he just went through time.


    He felt nostalgic. ''I can say this was where I was born since no one knows that I''m a reincarnator¡­, it feels good to be back".


    "Let''s visit Titania first".


    Legs did not object as they changed their course to the radioactive giant.


    Decades of development under E already transformed Titaniapletely, this did not change despite Admiral Gwen''s meddling.


    This now looked simr to Kronic Beam Ring with a lethal andpleteary defense system in ce.


    Seeing this, Legs remembered the good old days when he and Champion Onana allied to fight against the Bug Emperor.


    He also remembered the traumatic moment when he died and found himself in the Underworld. Fighting his way through the underworld, killing and taming Demons, he had some freaky adventures back then.


    Those were some crazy times.


    "Feeling nostalgic?" Champion Onanaughed on noticing his expression.


    Legs chuckled. "Who wouldn''t? I have some crazy memories here man".


    After an extensive tour of this gigantic under E''s guidance, they finally left after 3 days and made their way to Darvis.


    Visiting his home again after all these years, Legs felt even more nostalgia. He had so many memories attached to this.


    All the way from the days of the Clown Revolution, though it all happened in less than a decadepared to his decades already spent in gctic space, Legs held all these memories dear to his heart.


    The new President was a middle-aged man, President Le Vinci.


    The was now fully popted and talented supers rose to prominence every few years as they got the rare opportunity of going to gctic space.


    All these were not there when Legs still lived in this.


    He and the sacrifices of a lot of others paved the way to this current prosperous. Thinking of sacrifices, he remembered President Shanks.


    A statue was built in honor of the first President of Darvis.


    Legs also had a statue built in honor to his contributions.


    Legs basked in the nostalgia for a long time, allowing himself to feel all the emotions till he finally became immune to it all.


    He smiled. ''Coming to Darvis was the right decision Afterall''.


    At this moment, he felt inner peace.


    This was exactly what he needed.


    Legs settled down in the at a location hidden far away in the ocean. There, he locked himself in and started nning.


    He started ns for the sh against the Beast Coalition.

 Chapter 609 Fate

    ?


    Stepping foot into this for the first time, de felt a lot of pressure, he felt a great burden on his shoulders that pushed him to only look forward.


    ''I guess its finally my turn huh,'' He thought.


    Since all the way from the time when he still lived in a tribe with his parents and tribesmen, he always felt that he came to this world to fulfill a responsibility.


    His incredible talent then in the tribe pushed him to the forefront and as the only child of the tribe chief, everyone looked up to him as the future leader of his tribe that would lead them to greater heights.


    Even his father believed that he was the one to take his little tribe to finally be powerful enough to challenge for the position of the great tribes.


    Thinking back now, de felt those were the days of little beginning.


    Those were the days when the power scaling was still bearable.


    ''The day my tribe died to the Clown Revolution and master saved me¡­, I became tied to him for life''.


    de took a deep breath. ''Master made me''.


    ''Then, in Darvis, all my parents and tribe expected from me was to be a powerful Grade C warrior and seed my father as the tribe chief''.


    ''Then, the C Grade was like the pinnacle of power to me''.


    ''As a Grade C warrior, I already have enough power to protect them''.


    ''With master''s intervention though, here I am, a Grade B+ Pugilist now''.


    ''For decades, I''ve always been at the backfoot, just following master''s lead from the shadows while he bravely led from the front''.


    ''Against Clown, he saved us''.


    ''Against Champion Onana, he saved us''.


    ''Against the Bug Emperor, he saved us and till today, he''s still saving us''.


    de felt this feeling stronger after his master disappeared. With Legs'' disappearance, he tried to fill the void left by him but he failed miserably as Admiral Gwen did all those while their master was gone.


    In the end, his master was the one to save them again.


    Few Nak Pugilist warriors get the chance to train in Rockfest, it was a with peak training resources only exclusive to the most talented Pugilists created by Nak State yet here he was, again due to his master.


    ''Master has done more than enough for me''. He thought.


    ''It''s time I pay him back''. de''s eyes gleamed.


    ''All my life with him, I''ve not always been the most intelligent, Christensen was as he became fit to serve as his assistant to manage the army''.


    ''I was never a reliable help in terms of power either since master is just so ridiculously strong and talented, but for the first time, I really want to breach this gap¡­, I really want to help master now''.


    ''I want to leave Rockfest powerful enough to face him and help him in battle, it''s time I help him''.


    This was de''s ambition.


    His eyes burned with a fiery zeal as the spaceship ferrying them touched down on this.


    Yes, it was them, he was not the only oneing to train here.


    Uranus also came with him since he was a Pugilist.


    Due to Legs'' crazy stunts on his trip there, Gorr already became history and even if it was not, it would have been unavable to Uranus since only the best Nak warrior of every generation got the chance to enter there.


    Like his uncle, Uranus was determined to do his best.


    At this moment, he remembered his only interaction with his biological father back in Darvis when he unlocked his temporal powers.


    ''Dad is the best thing to ever happen to me since I was born''. He thought.


    ''It was only an agreement for him to be my godfather''.


    ''He is a powerful super, he is not bound by that agreement at all and can decide to neglect me but no¡­, master gave me the best treatment imaginable''.


    ''I wonder what my biological father would feel if he sees me now¡­, I bet he''d be so grateful''. Uranus smiled.


    ''It''s high time I pay him back''.


    Uranus'' eyes gleamed with ambition. ''I want to make Dad proud!''


    With that conviction, both Pugilists entered Rockfest.


    ¡­


    This was the hidden of Nak State adapted towards training some of the most talented Summoners that came out of this state.


    It was a full of beasts, powerful beasts.


    All types of beasts could be seen here in Freymen, from prehistoric to science-grown beasts, to experimental beasts, to futuristic beasts, they were all present in this, showing the diversity of the Summoners here.


    Entering this, memories flooded Christensen''s brain, filling him with nostalgia. He could remember every single word he told his master then when they went to that isted ind to train.


    ''Master¡­, my super way is you''.


    ''My super way is to catch up to you and exceed you''.


    ''Since I''m not as talented, I''ll put in more work''.


    ''If you train 8 hours every day, I''ll put in more effort and train 16 hours every day''.


    ''If you hone your fighting skills 3 hours every day, I''ll hone mine 6 hours every day''.


    ''If you read to learn knowledges 2 hours every day¡­," He could remember himself wiping off his tears even as he continued. ''I''ll ovee my fear of books and read 4 hours every day''.


    ''That¡­, is my super way!''


    "¡­" Then, he remembered how speechless his master was as he just stared at his student.


    Christensen grinned. ''I am not changed yet''.


    ''Exceeding you is still my super way''.


    With this ambition driving him, he entered the training environment of Freymen and got absolved in it.


    Legs already tossed the coin, now it was left to fate to determine if it wouldnd on a head or tail.


    During version 1, with his introduction into the picture, he messed a lot with the natural progression of Dominator''s history.


    Christensen''s 2 sisters no longer grew up to be allies of the Beast Coalition, Christensen no longer became evil and developed into one of the greatest thorns at the side of the Beast Coalition, a lot changed.


    Right now, Legs left everything to fate to see how it would progress.


    Christensen, one of the main characters of Version 3 in his previous life.


    de, the main character of Version 1 in his previous life.


    And Uranus, an incredibly unique Titan that was never supposed to be born into this world who only came to life because of his intervention.


    How much would his intervention affect the future and history?


    What will Uranus be?


    What will Christensen be?


    What will de be?


    Only the conclusion of Version 3 would tell.

 Chapter 610 The Seer

    <h4>Chapter 610 The Seer</h4>


    Time moved fast.


    Even as skirmishes between the Beast Coalition and ruling states of the Minerva Star System continued, undercurrents started behind the scenes.


    No one knew for certain what was happening but their instincts could tell that something was going on.


    They could feel that something era-defining would happen soon.


    Perhaps, the decisive battle?


    What was the Beast Coalition nning?


    No one knew.


    All the powers involved all seemed toe to an agreement to be more silent this period. Apart from the skirmishes, for weeks, norge-scale attack wasunched by the Beast Coalition.


    President Dunk like usual remained locked away from the world.


    Tension just grew, uneasiness filled the air.


    While this went on in the Minerva Star System, in an unusual that was not illuminated by any star in the universe, only filled with darkness and shadows, a certain existence appeared.


    Bzzz!


    It was a humanoid existence in a red robe thatpletely hide his identity.


    The only thing visible about him was the ck staff that he held.


    At this moment, he casually levitated in the skies, looking down on the as if waiting for something.


    Instantly after this existence appeared, an annoyed snort seemed to ring out from this as itsndscape changed the next moment.


    With the change of thendscape, a significant part of it morphed to form a gigantic gray face on the earth as it looked at the existence levitating.


    "What do you want with me¡­, Red Deacon?" He spat in a venomous tone.


    The humanoid existence in the skies remained calm. "It is a pleasure to meet you Great Seer, I havee today with a favor to ask of you".


    "Lies!" The gigantic face spat in an annoyed tone.


    "You lowly dog! I bet your master sent you on another errand!"


    The red existence was calm. "Yes, his Excellency ElKing sent me".


    "¡­" The gigantic gray face growled but said nothing else.


    The humanoid existence threw a picture at the gigantic face the next moment. "His Excellency ElKing wants you to look into his fate".


    Before the picture could touch the ground, it started floating as it turned to face the gigantic face whose eyes narrowed the next moment.


    The first thing that attracted the attention of this gigantic face was the distinctive white hair and hazel eyes.


    "Legs Baron¡­" The gigantic face muttered.


    "What does he want with a mere Grade B+ Summoner?"


    "The thoughts of ElKing cannot be deciphered by the likes of you". The red existence said calmly.


    "¡­" The gigantic face growled again but he kept his words to himself.


    "My payment". The gigantic face demanded only to be met with the pitch-ck eyes of this red deacon, he snorted in annoyance and did his thing.


    Bzzz!


    The true seer appeared the next moment.


    He was a human with a dog head, fox ears, and 3 antennas jutting out from his head. At this moment, this seer focused as gray energy surrounded him.


    The picture caught fire and burnt to ashes the next moment.


    Then the seer''s eyes turned white as his soul seemed to leave his body. His body jerked as this happened as the next moment, he finally recovered.


    Recovered was not the right word as blood flowed down his nose like he just fought a mighty battle against a formidable opponent.


    First, this seer''s eyes widened in shock once he recovered.


    He looked up at the red deacon. "I can''t read it".


    "¡­" The red deacon was silent but his pitch-ck eyes said a thousand words as this seer scrambled to exin himself.


    "His fate is so big".


    "Even when I read the fate of Beyond Grade A''s, none of them were ever so big, his fate is bigger than this whole universe".


    "¡­" The red deacon just stared at him with his pitch-ck eyes.


    "I could not read his fate but I managed to take a sneak peek into his future. You are fated to meet him in the near future".


    The look in the red deacon''s face finally changed. "Details".


    "I can''t give more details, that''s all that I saw and as you can see," He pointed to his bleeding nose. "It damaged me".


    The red deacon was silent for a few seconds as if in deep thought.


    Then, taking out a pin with a phoenix crest on it, hemunicated with it rapidly through his spirit sense before finally keeping it after 2 seconds.


    The red deacon looked at the seer. "Thank you, Seer for your help".


    "His Excellency ElKing remembers".


    The next moment, this red deacon turned into a red streak that rapidly elerated towards the west, disappearing far into the stretches of space.


    The Seer was quiet for long after the red deacon disappeared. ''Legs Baron¡­, who the hell are you?''


    He brought out his gcticmunication device and made research.


    He found him after 5 minutes of searching.


    ''Your fate is so big yet your world so small, stuck in a Star System like the Minerva Star System¡­, your destiny must be an intriguing one but you have been targeted by ElKing".


    "I wonder how this will y out''.


    ''I''ll definitely pay attention to you now''.


    For the first time in over 6 centuries, this Seer no longer spent her time away hibernating as she materialized a chair, sat down and kept on reading more into the history of this intriguing Summoner.


    ¡­


    1 month after Legs'' battle against Admiral Gwen¡­


    Finally, the D-day was here.


    Nak, the Nak Presidential vi¡­


    Before the Beast Coalition, Nak State had 14 Cmity Grade Supers but after the Beast Coalition, this number got reduced to 12.


    At this moment, 11 of the 12 Admirals of Nak State were all gathered here in a hidden underground bunker under the Presidential vi.


    Having been nning for this for a month, this absolutely dangerous force was able to gather here without alerting anyone outside.


    No one knew about this gathering, only one outsider knew. It was an old man, the old mechanic, Fleet Warlord Elyon of the Ackermann State who was the current Interim President and he was present here.


    This was unprecedented.


    Since the Nak and Ackermann States were founded over a millennium ago, never had their Presidents been openly in the other territory but today, the old mechanic, Elyon did it.


    This was the only way to ensure that their ns that would be decided in this meeting today would not be leaked out to the outside.


    To win against the Beast Coalition, they had to build trust among themselves and Elyon was carefree enough to be the one to make the first move.


    Or perhaps, he was just that confident in his power.


    No matter his reason for taking the initiative, it was appreciated.


    Afterall, this n had the likelihood of determining the survival of their respective states which was very important to them.


    The next moment, the door to this room in the underground bunker was pushed open as the 12th Admiral of Nak State walked in, Admiral Zhao.


    A certain Summoner followed him in, Legs Baron and at this moment, he was holding arge book that he wrote during the past few weeks.


    It was time to bring a version to an end.

 Chapter 611 A breakthrough

    611 A breakthrough


    This was a room full of Admirals and Presidents.


    Not mere Admirals of some random army, Cmity Grade Admirals.


    Not Presidents of some backwater, but Presidents of Star System level civilizations and states.


    This was unprecedented power but at this moment, Legs, a Summoner, a Grade B+ Super swaggered in with abandon like he was the boss here.


    50 years ago, Legs would have never imagined this.


    Experiences through these years changed him and forged him into who he now was. Compared to 50 years ago, his status alreadypletely changed.


    Bam!


    Legs dropped the big book on the table that was in the middle of this underground bunker then, controlling the remote, a virtual projection appeared in the air like a PowerPoint slide.


    This was when Legs finally turned to face them.


    "It''s not easy being a seer". Legs said in a solemn tone.


    He didn''t just spend the past month preparing the n, he also spent it preparing on how he would present it.


    Over the years, he already built on the persona of a sage and seer to the Nak State, taking advantage of his future knowledge.


    He wanted to take advantage and solidify this persona with this moment that would definitely define history.


    "Being limited to dealing with only glimpses into the future and past¡­," He continued. "It sometimes bes tedious to organize all these glimpses of data into coherent information that can be worked with".


    "It certainly took a lot out of me but finally," Legs'' eyes gleamed. "It is done!"


    Hearing this, all the Admirals, Warlords, and Presidents present perked up.


    Only one of them had a frown on her face but at this moment, even Admiral Gwen did not dare to throw up a ruckus, she already lost the confidence to do it.


    This was the n that would decide the oue of the war.


    This was the n that would decide the fates of their states.


    They had been waiting for it since, now they could see it.


    Legs turned to control the virtual slide and present his n to his spectators but he paused the next moment as an rm reverberated.


    BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!


    Chief Admiral Gregory stood up immediately as he went to the middle of this room before grabbing at the air. A virtual projection appeared before them the next moment including a summary from the underground bunker''s A.I.


    The virtual projection showed a, Crimson Ring.


    Its focus was on one individual, Champion Onana.


    At this moment, a greatmotion was in Crimson Ring.


    11:13


    This was just briefly deprived of every ounce of mana.


    In the virtual projection, the skies of this could be seen gathering clouds and terrible power as mana was drained from it like a sieve.


    Even from space, neutral mana pumped into this like mad inrge frequencies only to be absolved by the person at the center of thismotion.


    As for the person at the center of thismotion¡­, it was Champion Onana.


    Seeing the situation, Admiral Chief Gregory''s eyes lit up. "He''s finally done it".


    "Onana is at the point of sublimation".


    "He''s undergoing his breakthrough".


    Everyone present could already tell what was going on.


    The Nak Admirals were pretty shocked. Of the Champions of this generation, Champion Onana was not close to being the most talented of them all, even his brother was rated far higher than him in terms of talent.


    No one expected that he would be the first out of this generation of Nak warriors to finally reach the point of sublimation to reach the Cmity Grade.


    Fate was really a force that didn''t give a f*ck about the opinion of others.


    "The universe tribtion will start soon".


    "2 Admirals need to be at his side".


    Fleet Warlord Elyon clicked his tongue as he looked at President Dunk. "You''re really lucky, getting another Cmity Grade right at the onset of war".


    President Dunk smiled slightly. "It''s fate".


    "Who shall go?" Admiral Zhao asked. "The n unveiling can''t wait, we already spent so much time to gather without attracting any outside attention".


    "In fact, this breakthrough will be able to serve as an additionalyer of distraction to prevent our enemies from detecting our ns".


    "Of course, this is only after we delegate 2 Admirals to Onana".


    Chief Admiral Gregory looked at his President once who nodded at him, then he turned to face Admiral Zhao. "You shall be going".


    "You are in charge of Onana''s security".


    "Make sure that nothing happens to him".


    "Yes, Chief". Admiral Zhao acknowledged the order.


    Chief Admiral Gregory then looked round at the others before his eyes stopped on one of them. "Admiral Nathan".


    He stirred. "Yes Chief".


    In the mind of this Admiral, thoughts flowed. ''Why me?''


    ''They can''t be nning on unveiling the n behind my back right?''


    "You shall apany Admiral Zhao to Crimson Ring".


    11:14


    ''This timing is just too crazy''.


    ''I''m pretty sure that my cover is still intact but still¡­, this coincidence''.


    Admiral Nathan did not let his thoughts known though as he only focused on the Chief Admiral, diligently waiting for his orders.


    "You shall apany Admiral Zhao to Crimson Ring".


    "Make sure we get a new Cmity Grade Super".


    "Yes, Chief".


    Chief Admiral Gregory continued. "Don''t worry about the n unveiling¡­," he threw a unique set of ear pods at the 2 Admirals who caught them.


    "That is a new unique ear pod set developed by our special research crew".


    "They''repletely secure from outside tampering".


    "With it, the both of you will be able to listen on our conversation".


    "Go now".


    "Yes, Chief".


    Both Admirals no longer hesitated.


    As soon as they stood up, Admiral Zhao opened a teleportation portal as they jumped through the next moment, going straight to Crimson Ring.


    Throughout, Legs had an unfathomable look on his face.


    ''Onana is breaking through finally''.


    ''Hehe¡­, I guess he won the bet between us''.


    ''As for Chief Admiral Gregory, deciding on both Admiral Zhao and Admiral Nathan, this is definitely no coincidence right?''


    ''Originally, I wanted him to be close by so through his reactions to my unveiling, we could try predicting if he would take action now orter''.


    ''Afterall, he is very pivotal to the n but I guess this works still''.


    ''Close to Admiral Zhao, Zhao would be able to observe him from a closer point of view to try predicting his thoughts''.


    ''So, I guess it''s all good''.


    Once the 2 Admirals left, Legs took centerstage again. "Can I continue?"


    The 2 Presidents nodded and he focused on the virtual slide again.


    His eyes gleamed, his voice was sharp. "This is the n".

 Chapter 612 The plan [1]

    612 The n [1]


    "This is the n".


    All ears and eyes paid close attention; it was finally time.


    And without hesitation, Legs started the unveiling.


    ¡­


    While the n was unveiled, somewhere else, something incredible started that instantly attracted the attention of all the territories of Nak State.


    [Breaking Gctic Nak News:]


    #The first of the new generation finally breaks out of his egg! Finally, one of the champions of the new generation will face the universe tribtion!


    #Now Champion Onana¡­, soon will be Admiral Onana! Against all odds, the unconventional cyborg champion taken in by Admiral Zhao bes the one to get to the finish line first, bing the new Cmity Grade of this generation!


    #A new Cmity Grade Super is the best news we could ever hope for in the period of this war! It''s proof that the universe is still on our side¡­, we''ll win the war and eradicate all the filthy beasts!


    #Champion Onana! The star of the new generation!


    It started just minutes ago but the news already spread across Nak territory.


    This was an important reason why 2 Admirals made themselves avable. In this critical moment, Champion Onana''s security was paramount.


    Another reason why Chief Admiral Gregory sent Admiral Nathan as one of the protectors was to see his resolve as a spy.


    Would the Beast Coalition allow a new thorn on their side in the form of another Cmity Grade Super to rise from their archenemies?


    If they could not afford it, Admiral Nathan would likely attack.


    But this was also why he sent Admiral Zhao too.


    Admiral Zhao was the 3rd strongest Admiral in Nak State, he was more than capable of protecting someone from Admiral Nathan no matter how fast he acted and he was also capable of killing the traitor if the need called for it.


    Since it''s been long since Admiral Zhao was forced to fight in a battle and go all out, of course, Admiral Nathan would not know this which would be one incentive for him to gamble and try killing Champion Onana.


    Champion Onana''s sudden breakthrough happened coincidentally but in that short time, Chief Admiral Gregory was able to set so many schemes in motion.


    The blow of a new Cmity Grade joining the Nak State mixed with the blow of Legs'' n unveiling, Admiral Nathan was sure to be affected.


    And Admiral Zhao was there to observe him through it all.


    Presently, Crimson Ring¡­


    WHOOSH!


    Dark clouds gathered in the skies as everywhere darkened in this.


    Both Admirals arrived a few minutes ago and at the center of this all, in the Mayor''s mansion, the cause of this all, Champion Onana had his eyes closed in concentration with legs crossed as he levitated in the sky.


    Even as Champion Onana levitated in the sky and neutral mana rushed into his body rampantly, his eyes started glowing.


    The next moment, a mechanic suit rushed out of this surface.


    It was a mechanic suit that was built like a giant Brawler.


    It didn''t have a lot of weapons all over its surface like almost all Champion Onana''s previous mechanic suits. Its only weapons were its pair of sma boxing gloves and a pair of cutting-edge sma knives.


    Champion Onana created his newest mechanic suit some time ago after he finishedprehending his 2 cmity paths.


    Champion Onana was now a master of the mechanical impact cmity path and the mechanicalpactness cmity path.


    This mechanic suit was an absolute monster.


    The power and impact it could pack in each attack waspletely ridiculous and was why Champion Onana went for just gloves.


    And with its incrediblepactness, Champion Onana could fight as fluently with knives as any proficient knife wielder, this was his magnum opus mechanic suit and it would apany him to the next grade.


    ~Brawler King- Legs~


    "Wee back Master!"


    The mechanic suit weed him as soon as it enveloped him.


    Champion Onana gave his magnum opus mechanic suit this name for a reason. He could remember over 50 years ago in Darvis.


    His battle with Legs was a defining moment in his life.


    He got to this point thanks to Legs and this was his tribute to him.


    11:15


    Fighting against Legs, his contracted beasts, and the Guardian Komodo Dragon that he would never forget, his life and history changed.


    That battle led to his subsequent decisions and experiences which led to this moment. Without that battle, he would never be in this moment.


    This was why he named his new mechanic suit so.


    He called it Brawler since it embodied his new fighting style afterprehending the cmity paths of mechanical impact andpactness.


    He called it King as a tribute to the Guardian Komodo Dragon.


    He thought of calling it Guardian at first but felt it didn''t rhyme, so he went with King which in his opinion was a perfect representation of the Komodo Dragon.


    It was a king against mechanics.


    As for calling it Legs, it was simple, he paid tribute to Legs.


    Without meeting Legs, without fighting against Legs, and if Legs didn''t spare his life, he would have never met this opportunity in his life.


    He got to this point thanks to Legs and this was his tribute to him.


    As soon as the Brawler King engulfed Champion Onanapletely, his maic energy became rampant as it spread around a of maism.


    Every metal in this rose in respect to this incredible power.


    For dozens of minutes, the metal gathered till they rose above him, forming a gigantic pile of metal scrap above him.


    After this was done, with his eyes close, Champion Onana just kept on absolving the neutral mana that surged into his body.


    As he did this, his body started undergoing changes.


    He was experiencing a fundamental change to his being.


    His maic energy changed, bing even more powerful as the Brawler King drank of this energy to be even more powerful than its base specs suggested after it was created.


    For 2 hours, this process continued, causing a greatmotion.


    With themotion that his breakthrough caused, it was a given that after his breakthrough, he would be among the stronger Cmity Grades of Nak State.


    After 2 hours of this process, everything suddenly paused.


    It was like during a storm¡­, this was the eye of the storm.


    The pausested 30 minutes, then it started..., the universe tribtion.


    Thick purple lightning bolts gathered from space before forcing their way into the atmosphere of this as they struck Champion Onana and his mechanic suit the next moment to devastating effect.


    "Ugh¡­!" Champion Onana groaned but he endured the pain.


    His universe tribtion was here!


    ¡­


    While this happened, the n unveiling was in motion.


    "The key to the n is one of the Beast Priests".


    "The Shelter Priest".

 Chapter 613 The plan [2]

    <h4>Chapter 613 The n [2]</h4>


    "The key to the n is one of the Beast Priests".


    "The Shelter Priest".


    In Crimson Ring, a certain Admiral''s face twitched as he heard that sentence alone but he did a good job in keeping a straight face reaction to it.


    "For 3 years, the Shelter Priest was not focused on stealing parts of territories and resources of the Nak and Ackermann States for nothing".


    "His role is extremely important to the establishment of the Beast Empire which is the number 1 driving force of the Beast King".


    "Everything that the Beast King had done and achieved till now, it was driven by his desire to see an Empire where beasts are no longer oppressed".


    "An Empire where beasts are no longer ves but are sovereign".


    "Due to his life experiences, he believes the Beast Coalition and the current war is the only way to achieve his goal and hence, his ruthlessness".


    "To achieve his goal, the Beast King is ready to do and sacrifice anything".


    "Unknown to you all, during the past 3 years of skirmishes and wars, the Beast King already realized his goal of building the foundation".


    "The Beast Empire is already a thing".


    "They now have a territory of their own".


    At this point, Legs'' eyes gleamed. "This takes us to my n. Invading their territory is the only way to bring the war to an end".


    "I have seen their territory but seeing through the lines of fate is not always so clear".


    "I saw their territory but I don''t know the direction leading there," Legs paused as if waiting for them to take that in first. "But I know another way to get there".


    He looked at everyone present in this room. "The Shelter Priest".


    In Crimson Ring, the certain Admiral''s face tightened.


    ''What does he know?''


    ''Does he really know so much?''


    ''But that is impossible! The powers of a seer do not work that way''.


    ''He''s bluffing!'' He was inclined to believe this.


    Through the ear pods, the now haunting voice to him continued.


    "3 years back, we got introduced to the Shelter Priest for the first time and through my prophecies, I exined the workings of his Spatial Expatriation power".


    "And like I told you then, the Shelter Priest is one of the oldest and most important Beast Priests to the Beast Coalition, just like the Dog Priest".


    "He has very few abilities but every single one of them is a killer".


    "His Spatial Expatriation enables him to expatriate and steal strategic resources likes, this is what enabled him to get his gigantic-sized body".


    "The Shelter Priest was once the home of the Beast Empire but now that they have a territory, it is now the mobile fortress of the Beast Coalition".


    "The mobile fortress is our only channel to ess their territory".


    "Another ability of the Shelter Priest is the spatial node".


    "By activating this incredible ability, he is able to create unique nodes in space that only he can ess. By cing these nodes in strategic locations, anytime he wants, he can go anywhere that he likes in a moment''s notice".


    "A year ago, one of such nodes was nted here in Nak".


    "¡­!" All the Nak Admirals sucked in a deep breath in shock.


    "What?!" President Dunk could not keep calm.


    "Where? Let''s remove it now!"


    "Is that how they were able to implement the assassination attempt on me?"


    Legs looked at the President. "During the time of your assassination, a node was yet to be nted in Nak, they arrived through a node nted in another close to the Nak State''s capital".


    "So, yes, the assassination attempt was possible through this ability".


    In Crimson Ring, Admiral Nathan no longer fidgeted, he now had apletely cool look on his face even as his eyes slowly reddened.


    Admiral Zhao was cool on the surface but tensed inside.


    He was also shocked by the unveilings but his attention was mostly on Nathan, he felt like this was the calm before the storm and that this Admiral would do something crazy any moment, he was in a state of high alert.


    "We should remove that node now!" President Dunk demanded again.


    "No, Mr. President". Legs rejected him with a smile, President Dunk narrowed his eyes but he waited for his exnation.


    "If a node is removed, the Shelter Priest will know and in extension, the whole Beast Coalition which will essentially ruin my n and all my hard work".


    "If you pay attention, from the beginning, I said the key to the n is one of the Beast Priests¡­, the Shelter Priest". He smiled.


    "There is a way that only I know of to take advantage of the Shelter Priest''s nodes". Legs grinned. "That is the core of my n".


    "How are you sure of that?" Fleet Warlord Elyon finally spoke for the first time.


    ''Because yers were the first to discover it in my previous life and one yer got filthy rich by selling this secret to you guys''.


    ''It yed an essential role in defeating the Beast Coalition after a lot of sacrifices in my previous life but in this life, it is my secret''.


    ''Since no one has discovered the loophole yet, it is my discovery''.


    Legs did not let his thoughts known though; he had a smile on his face as he looked at the fleet warlord. "I am sure".


    Elyon silently looked at him for a few seconds before replying. "Sure".


    "Even the Shelter Priest does not yet know," Legs continued. "I paid a significant price to peek into fate and deduce this secret".


    "The Shelter Priest''s nodes have unique security details to prevent outsiders from making use of it, I know the code to bypass these security details".


    "All I need is a team of Mages proficient in spatial magic".


    "With one nodepromised, I will be able to grant us ess to all the nodes that have ever been created by the Shelter Priest".


    "This also includes the node in the new Beast Empire".


    "And right there is our invasion n".


    All the Admirals present took in another deep breath in shock.


    For a long time, they had been cracking their brains on how to mount a significant attack on the Beast Coalition after suffering so much to them but these freaking beasts were just too cautious, leaving no openings for an attack.


    But here, Legs just decoded the answer to their greatest problem.


    It felt so freaking easy.


    After all these years of seeing Legs'' genius, they thought they already rated him high enough but hearing him now, they shuddered in fear.


    They realized how much they still underrated him.


    This was already more than a normal seer.


    Legs'' ability was a freaking anomaly.


    Fleet Admiral Elyon spoke again, this time his tone changed to a more respectful one. "I am impressed".


    "That takes care of the invasion n but is that the end of your n?"


    "As we have seen during the past few years, the Beast Coalition have some pretty powerful Cmity Grade powerhouses in their ranks".


    "If we are to go to war, we need to be prepared against them and n adequately towards their powerhouses and yet we have so few information about them despite shing with them for so long".


    "Do you have a n regarding this?"


    Legs smiled, he sipped on an energy drink that he just brought out of his inventory. "Chill¡­, this is just the first part of my n".


    "There is a second part to it". He chuckled.


    They all shuddered again.


    At this moment, Legs gave off an omnipotent aura.

 Chapter 614 The plan [3]

    <h4>Chapter 614 The n [3]</h4>


    "Chill¡­, this is just the first part of my n".


    "There is a second part to it".


    They all shuddered.


    They waited, anticipating what else they would see that would shock them and like expected, Legs did not disappoint.


    He finally picked up the big book that he came here with.


    "Like Fleet Admiral Elyon said, the Beast Coalition are a formidable opponent with powerful peak fighters which is why I had them in my ns from the beginning".


    He raised the book up. "In this book is written with depictions all the Priests of the Beast Coalition".


    "¡­" They took another deep breath in shock.


    Then, flicking the book up, it levitated.


    Then slowly, the pages of this big book started opening.


    The first page''s title alone stole all the attention in the room.


    >1st Upper Beast Priest<


    >Primate Priest- Snow Monkey<


    Then under the title was a depiction of a terrifying beast.


    Fleet Admiral Elyon was all too familiar with him, he''s eyes narrowed as heid his eyes on this extremely powerful beast again.


    It was an extremely muscr Snow Monkey with blueish white hair.


    His golden eyes were narrowed as they stared into space.


    On his hand was a golden staff revolving with golden energy.


    Legsmented. "The Beast Priests of the Beast Coalition are divided into Upper Beast Priests and normal Beast Priests, this is the number 1 Upper Beast Priest of the Beast Coalition¡­, he is the most dangerous".


    The pages of the big book flipped again to the next page.


    >Bear Priest- Apocalypse Bear<


    >Subordinate of the Doom Cow<


    Under this title was a depiction of another terrifying beast.


    He was absolutely gigantic.


    His brown skin was tainted red by the background filled with fire and explosions, and in the depiction, he was roaring even as his red eyes red with the anger and rage of a berserker.


    His rows of teeth were like rows of deadly spears stacked together.


    The page of the big book flipped again to the next page.


    >Shelter Priest- World Camel<


    >Subordinate of the Deer Demi-god<


    Under this title was a depiction of an absolutely gigantic beast.


    For the first time, they saw the Shelter Priest.


    Despite falling victim to the powers of the Shelter Priest countless times, this dangerous beast had never made a full appearance.


    She was a gigantic camel with a body as gigantic as multiples stacked together. Only her upper body was shone with the rest hidden in clouds.


    On her back was a gigantic, the mobile fortress of the Beast Coalition.


    The page of the big book flipped again to the next page.


    >Death Priest- Necromancer Cockroach<


    >Subordinate of the Snow Monkey<


    Legs looked around this room. "You all should be familiar with this beast due to his incredible ability and the amount of destruction he is capable of".


    >3rd Upper Beast Priest<


    >Destruction Priest- Doom Cow<


    Oh, they were all too familiar with this guy.


    The terrifying golden eyes, the golden horns, the ripped body and chest, and the smokeing from his nostrils, they were unmistakable.


    Both states had fallen victim countless times to this bad boy.


    Seeing him, Fleet Admiral Elyon''s eyes narrowed.


    By now, all of them could tell that Legs was not bluffing, he was the real deal. And in some, a certain Admiral''s face was as stiff as a rock.


    ''How?!''


    ''This cannot be prophecy!''


    ''Even seers have limitations to how much they can see!''


    The pages of the book flipped over again.


    >Crocodile Priest- Strength Crocodile<


    >Subordinate of the Snow Monkey<


    Legsmented. "This guy died in my after the encounter with Admiral Zhao and the 2 other Admirals".


    >4th Upper Beast Priest<


    >Mammalian Priest- Deer Demi-god<


    They had never seen this guy before now.


    His body seemed to be partly made of metal, he almost seemed like a demon from hell as red and golden lines snaked through his deer body.


    One thing though was he looked menacing and dangerous.


    >Dog Priest- Pinto, the Detective Dog<


    >Subordinate of the Deer Demi-god<


    The image was that of a Pitbull in a ck suit with a silver neck chain.


    >Elephant Priest- Strength Elephant<


    >Subordinate of the Deer Demi-god<


    The image was that of a giant Elephant on orange robes and ck trousers. Like most of the other beasts, he was in his beast-humanoid form.


    >2nd Upper Beast Priest<


    >Wisdom Priest- Golden Langur Sage<


    Fleet Admiral Elyon was all too familiar with this guy.


    It was a skinny, unassuming Golden Langur who didn''t seem like a fighter at all. But having squared with him, Elyon knew his power lied in his head.


    >Vulture Priest- Queen Valkyrie<


    >Subordinate of the Golden Langur Sage<


    The depiction that followed was an image of a gigantic Vulture in valiant armor watching a burning attentively.


    >Demon Priest- Demonic Mandrill<


    >Subordinate of the Snow Monkey<


    It was an image of a familiar frowning Demonic Mandrill on war armor.


    >Emissary Priest- Stally, the Oscar Fish<


    >Subordinate of the Golden Langur Sage<


    The depiction was an image of a giant Oscar Fish in a ck agent vest.


    >Watcher Priest- Nightmare Owl<


    >Subordinate of the Golden Langur Sage<


    The depiction was an image of an Owl that seemed straight out of a horror movie. Also donning a ck agent vest, the ears of this owl stood like antennas as its golden eyes stared at whoever looked at the image like he could see his soul.


    >5th Upper Beast Priest<


    >Mechanic Priest- Bumblebee<


    The image that followed depicted a terrifying Bumblebee that looked like a golden mechanic suit. This beast waspletely mechanical.


    >2nd Emissary Priest- Magic Parrot<


    >Subordinate of the Golden Langur Sage<


    The image depicted a parrot in red war armor.


    >Roaming Priest- Plecostomus<


    >Subordinate of the Bumblebee<


    Again, Fleet Admiral Elyon was all too familiar with this beast.


    He would never forget those thick ck scales, those deep red eyes, the ck hood, and the powerful ck rods on both his hands.


    >Priest Scientist- Proboscis<


    >Subordinate of the Bumblebee<


    None of them had seen nor heard of this beast priest before.


    The image depicted a giant Proboscis in white scientist robes and sses in ab with chemicals everywhere around him.


    >Fox Priest- Illusion Fox<


    >Subordinate of the Deer Demi-god<


    Legs looked at his already stunned spectators who watched with wide opened eyes. "This guy died alongside the Crocodile Priest".


    >Hare Priest- Ironfoot Hare<


    >Subordinate of the Bumblebee<


    Legsmented again. "This guy also died alongside the Crocodile".


    >Storm Priest- Scarlet Macaw<


    >Subordinate of the Snow Monkey<


    The image depicted a Scarlet Macaw wielding a machine gun.


    >Devourer Priest- Devourer Shark<


    >Subordinate of the Doom Cow<


    The image depicted a shark in a blue suit with jaws filled with blood savoring the bloody atmosphere of destruction around him.


    >Deceit Priest- Trickster Snake<


    >Subordinate of the Bumblebee<


    The image of the Trickster Snake was that of a green snake wearing a mask that prevented his natural gas venom from spreading without his permission.


    He wore tattered brown clothes that were fitting for the desert.


    >Turtle Priest- Berserker Turtle<


    >Subordinate of the Doom Cow<


    The image depicted was that of a bloated Turtle dressed like a Samurai with 2 swords strapped to its hard back.


    >Wolf Priest- Speedster Wolf<


    >Subordinate of the Doom Cow<


    The image depicted of this Beast Priest was that of a thin Wolf with a body purely oriented towards speed, he looked like a bestial version of the sh.


    >Leader of the Beast Coalition<


    >Beast King- Demonic Lion<


    The face of the Beast King was not new to everyone present here.


    His broadcasts already made even his thick mane recognizable to them all but this was not the highlight now, the highlight was the big book finally closed.


    Legs dropped it back on the table and he looked at his guests.


    "And these are the Beast Priests of the Beast Coalition".


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    No one could say a word.

 Chapter 615 A true seer or a true charlatan?

    <h4>Chapter 615 A true seer or a true chatan?</h4>


    Crimson Ring¡­


    "¡­"


    Admiral Nathan was as quiet as a mouse, so also was Admiral Zhao.


    Like all the others, no matter how close he was to them, Legs refused to tell anyone about his ns and what would happen in the future.


    He had to maintain his persona of a true seer that he spent so much effort in building, he had to solidify the truth that he crafted to them that looking into fate took a lot of effort and sacrifices from him.


    This was why he revealed information about the future only when necessary for maximum dramatic effect and this moment was no different.


    ''Legs!''


    ''Legs¡­!'' Admiral Zhao could only call this Summoner''s name in his head; he was too stunned to speak or react.


    Despite his shock though, he still remembered his mission at this moment.


    He did his best to stay focused and keenly observe Admiral Nathan''s reaction.


    Admiral Nathan was the one suffering the most from all these reveals.


    It was like sleeping only to find yourself in a nightmare, then striving to wake up from it only to find yourself in another nightmare, striving to wake up again only to find yourself in another nightmare, and another, and another again.


    The shock and experience were traumatizing.


    At this moment, Admiral Nathan was traumatized.


    So many thoughts went through his head that he felt that his head would blow up any moment, he was sincerely scared now.


    ''How is Legs real?''


    ''Is he truly a human?''


    ''I''ve heard about seers but never any one like him¡­''


    ''No wonder he was able to match the Soul Emperor''s record, Legs is simply one of those once in countless lifetime geniuses''.


    At this moment, this Admiral was panicking. ''How should I react to this?''


    ''Legs cannot be left unchecked, the Beast King needs to know but¡­,'' His eyebrows furrowed in worry. ''I already pushed my luck to contact them twice this month alone, I have no doubts that I''m currently being watched''.


    ''Besides, President Dunk is not foolish''.


    ''I''ve been serving under him for years now and without a doubt, I believe he already suspects that there is a traitor though he refuses to believe it''.


    ''Legs could have decided to reveal all this to only President Dunk and Fleet Admiral Elyon to make a n but no¡­, they revealed it to all the higher-ups''.


    His eyes narrowed. ''This smells like a trap''.


    ''If I contact them now, I''m 100% certain that I''ll be caught''.


    ''But they need to know¡­,'' This Admiral was worried, he fell into a dilemma thatsted a long time in his mind that was already on overdrive.


    In reality, it didn''tst too long though, Admiral Nathan made his decision.


    ''I can''t risk my cover''.


    ''Remaining a spy is more important than anything''.


    ''I may be able to tell them but once they know that their n is leaked, they can simply tweak it and who knows? Legs may have another n''.


    ''I can''t risk it''.


    ''I believe the Beast King and the others will be able to cope, at least they''ll survive, I should be thest card of the Beast King''.


    ''With me in here, even if we''re losing the war, we can mount ast-minute twist and counterattack topletely demolish their forces''.


    Admiral Nathan''s face finally recovered and like nothing happened, he paid attention to Champion Onana whose breakthrough was close to being done.


    Admiral Zhao was calm like nothing happened but he noticed everything.


    From when Admiral Nathan''s eyebrows furrowed, to the wrinkling skin on his face, to the tiny sweat that gathered on his forehead at times, he observed everything and he was able to read meaning to them all.


    Like Admiral Nathan, he also focused on Champion Onana.


    In his mind though, he knew that things were about to go down.


    ¡­


    Nak, the underground bunker¡­


    Legs dropped the book back on the table and looked at his guests.


    "And these are the Beasts Priests of the Beast Coalition".


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­.."


    No one could say a word.


    They were too stunned to speak.


    It took more than 10 seconds before anyone could speak and it was Fleet Warlord Elyon. "1,2,3,4,5¡­, 5 Upper Beast Priests".


    "1,2,3,4,5,6¡­, 10¡­, 17 normal Beast Priests".


    "And the Beast King".


    Fleet Warlord Elyon looked at Legs again and for the first time, his face showed genuine respect and awe. "You are a true seer".


    "I finally understand why President Dunk holds you in such high esteem".


    Chief Admiral Gregory stood up. "1 plus 17 plus 5, that''s 23 Cmity Grade Beasts to deal with¡­," This Admiral''s face turned solemn. "That is far more than anything we ever estimated of the Beast Coalition".


    "I can''t believe we still underestimated them". Admiral Skriniac muttered.


    President Dunk finally spoke, his eyes fixated on Legs. "Is that all?"


    "Yes, Mr. President".


    "With this, I believe I''ve done more than enough to aid in the war between the Nak State, Ackermann State and the Beast Coalition".


    "With this book, you can n the finer details of the war adequately to properly target the high-end powerhouses of the Beast Coalition".


    "Once they''re nullified sessfully, the war is more or less won already".


    President Dunk nodded solemnly. "Thank you, Legs".


    "Without you, dealing with the Beast Coalition would have taken far more effort and sacrifices on our part".


    "Once this war is over, you shall receive your due honor".


    Legs only smiled without saying anything.


    Well, that was all that they needed.


    The war n kickstarted.


    Chief Admiral Gregory looked at Legs. "How long will it take for you to override the node of the Shelter Priest to enable our invasion?"


    "1 week maximum".


    "Good". This Chief Admiral nodded. "That is enough time for us to fune our war military strategy and adequately prepare for this war".


    The Chief Admiral looked at everyone present. "I hope you all are ready".


    They all nodded solemnly.


    "In a week, we''ll be going to fight for the fate of our states".


    With that, this gathering finally came to an end.


    And with its end, all attention returned to Crimson Ring where the newest Cmity Grade warrior of Nak State was almost done with his breakthrough.

 Chapter 616 1 week

    <h4>Chapter 616 1 week</h4>


    BOOM!


    A new aura erupted in the Mayor''s mansion.


    After decades of growth, development, and incredible hardwork while enduring discrimination from his parent and his sibling, Champion Onana finally did it. He finally achieved his goal.


    He was finally done with his breakthrough.


    He was now a bonafide Cmity Grade Super.


    Levitating in the sky was the Brawler King- Legs mechanic suit that was emitting an oppressive aura that could onlye from a Cmity Grade.


    Crackle! Crackle!


    Onana''s maic energy crackled with power.


    The lightning current in the skies reacted to his new power as a domain seemed to gather around his mechanic suit that was all his own.


    This domain was like a domain of gravity where the power of maism was dense and expressive, and in this domain of energy, the Brawler King- Legs mechanic suit''s power far exceeded its base form.


    Seeing this, Onana grinned. ''Finally!''


    ''Finally¡­, I have done it''.


    This was his Cmity domain.


    At this moment, he felt bloated with power.


    And with so much power, his confidence rose like a rocket.


    He felt that one punch with his mechanic suit aimed at the right angle and he could cause devastating damage to a.


    That was how strong he currently felt like.


    He was not wrong though; his power was now that ridiculous.


    That was why they were called Cmity Grade Supers.


    When left unbridled, this breed of warriors had what it took to levels entirely. They were walking tanks of disaster and cmity in the universe.


    After his breakthrough, Onana felt that his brain capacity increased massively in a way that he could not exin.


    Mechanical theories that wereplicated to him before and gave him a hard time understanding now seemed simple.


    As his maic energy engulfed his mechanic suit, he could already detect shorings in its design that he could improve on and he didn''t even try to look.


    These were shorings that he never noticed before now.


    Onana felt that he could make the Brawler King- Legs even stronger.


    He clenched his fist as he appreciated his new power.


    Apart from his new power, Onana also felt something else.


    BZZZ!


    His spirit sense expanded out like a rushing avnche.


    At this moment, his spirit sense was so massive that he was able to cover 1/4th of this''s surface with it.


    This was ridiculous.


    Seeing him, Admiral Zhao smiled as he flew closer.


    "Congrattions kid". He chuckled. "You finally did it".


    "Judging from your spirit sense, you definitely are stronger than Greg. Your spirit sense is at least 3 times as big as hers".


    Onana grinned as he looked up at his master. "What of you?"


    Admiral Zhao chuckled on hearing that. "You''re incredibly talented but in my days, I was seen as the best of my generation".


    "You still have some ways to get to my level".


    "Anyways, follow me, you are now a Cmity Grade warrior of Nak State and hence now eligible to be an Admiral of the Nak Navy".


    "You will now finally be able to know about some things that were previously excluded from you".


    "A lot of things happened while you were breaking through".


    Dragging his hand across space, Admiral Zhao opened another teleportation portal even as he spoke as all 3 Cmity Grades jumped in and disappeared.


    That day, a great celebration began in Crimson Ring.


    A new Cmity Grade warrior was just born in Nak State and this warrior blossomed in Crimson Ring; this was a cause for celebration.


    That same day, a statue was built in Onana''s honor where he broke through.


    And just 2 dayster, Onana became Admiral Onana.


    ¡­


    For the next few days, military preparations started behind the scenes.


    The Nak State and Ackermann State started their preparations in full, mobilizing their armies and war weapons as the all-out war drew closer than ever before each passing day.


    While all the military preparations continued, all the best warriors with spatial control abilities were delegated to work under Legs.


    The strongest of these experts was Admiral Chouling, widely known as the 2nd strongest Admiral of Nak State.


    She was also the strongest female Admiral of Nak State and a rare Cmity Grade Super with spatial abilities.


    She was a mage who focused on space and gravity magic.


    With her assistance, Legs'' work saw progress at a steady pace.


    Nak¡­


    [WARNING! You havee into contact with a node of the Shelter Priest!]


    Instantly after confirming the location of the node, Legsmanded his workforce as through their powers, they followed his blueprint, carefully navigating the security system that the Shelter Priest had in ce.


    It was almost like a hacker bypassing the security details of a server to hack into it with the hackers being the Space mages at this moment.


    All they needed was Legs'' knowledge and guidance and they did everything else themselves.


    While they worked on bypassing the security of the node, Legs gave them another blueprint to build a giant teleportation device.


    Since he was trying to build a backway channel through the nodes and could not use the Shelter Priest''s power, they needed a teleportation device that would be able to recognize and make use of the power of the nodes.


    Once Legs provided the blueprint, an exact replica of the one that was created in his previous life, Admiral Chouling was amazed by his talent on seeing it.


    ''Not only is he an extremely talented Summoner and Super, he is a once in a lifetime seer and not just that, he has such deep knowledge on spatial magic''.


    ''It would take a true master to be able to create this blueprint''.


    ''If he trained as a mage, I have no doubt that he would also be a generational talent in that field''.


    ''With that brain of his, he can also excel as a mechanic''.


    ''This boy¡­, he''s literally perfect''.


    ''Damn!'' She licked her lips.


    ''I wish I was younger; I won''t mind making him my husband''.


    "Achoo¡­!" Legs sneezed.


    He rubbed his nose. ''Is someone thinking about me again?''


    Everything went smoothly. Under his guidance, they took 5 days to bypass the security of the node and by this time, the gigantic teleportation portal that broke the conventional physics of spatial travel was also created.


    Once this was done, this node came under Legs'' control and not just that, it granted him ess to the full spatial server of the Shelter Priest.


    He now had ess to all the nodes of this Beast Priest without his notice.


    Truly, this was next level theft.


    Finally, Legs was done with his preparation.


    Instantly after he was done, his virtual interface lit up.

 Chapter 617 Final preparations

    <h4>Chapter 617 Final preparations</h4>


    Roronoa Star System, Darvis¡­


    Sitting on the balcony of a massive building, 2 friends observed this thriving filled with life and boundless energy as the youths of the new generation gave their all to training to exceed the achievements of those before them.


    "Where you always like this or you developed this power as you grew?"


    Legs inclined his head to look at his friend. "Huh?"


    "You know what I''m talking about, the prophecy powers and stuff".


    Legs chuckled. "First, should I call you Admiral Onana or¡­?"


    Admiral Onana red at him. "As if my opinion will matter on what you call me".


    Legsughed. "You''re right, you''ll always be Onana to me, haha".


    "So¡­,'' This Admiral looked at his friend seriously. "The truth".


    For the past week, Onana was one of the busiest people during the preparations for the war. After being appointed as the newest Admiral of Nak State, a lot of procedures started to get him up to speed.


    A lot of information about his state was withdrawn from him before.


    With his new grade, he could finally learn all these information.


    The first thing that he learned was information about all the hiddens that were under the rule of his state, he also learned of Gorr and how Legs was able to get the temporal powers that now made him so strong.


    Also, and most importantly of all, he learned the truth about Legs.


    Originally, he saw his friend as just an extremely talented Summoner. When Legs just came to gctic society, his Nightmare mercenary group was able to find footing only due to his connection and support.


    Onana thought things were still the same until he finally learned the truth.


    Learning of all the privileges that Legs now had left him stunned.


    And now just that, learning of why his friend was truly so valued by his state stunned him even more. He knew that Legs was a seer.


    When he heard of Legs'' achievements in helping during the war efforts after the Beast Coalition saga started, for a moment, Onana felt fooled.


    Though he never paid attention to it, instinctively, he always thought that in Nak State, Legs was always beneath him till he became a Cmity Grade warrior. It was now that he truly knew the worth of his friend.


    This was why he wanted to know the truth.


    Admiral Onana kept on looking at his friend. "The truth".


    Seeing his persistence, Legs sighed. "First, I''m sorry again for not telling you about it beforehand, you should understand my reasons why".


    "As for the truth that you''re looking for," Legs smirked. "How much did you truly know of my legend in Darvis?"


    Hearing that question, Admiral Onana instantly started thinking.


    He looked at his friend, even more stunned now. "You had this ability all the way from our time in Darvis?"


    "I always had it". Legsughed.


    "I don''t know how much you know but I''ve always had it. By looking into fate was how I was able to outsmart the Clown Revolution to win against them and save my from being annexed by your General then".


    "Looking into fate was how I was able to stop you also".


    Onana''s eyes widened, Legs smirked. "I saw a prophecy of the Cataclysm long ago already, to prevent panic was why I did not spread the truth".


    Admiral Onana nodded in understanding. "So, you have always been that silent guardian watching over Darvis from the beginning".


    "If you put it that way, I guess you''re right". Legs smiled.


    "Perhaps, the only thing that I never was able to see was your arrival during the Cataclysm and the subsequent arrival of the Bug Emperor''s army".


    "Like I said before, it''s incredibly hard to read the lines of faith".


    "Being a seer does not make me omniscient".


    "I only see what nature shows me".


    Admiral Onana smiled as he rubbed his nose. "I''ve always known that you''re an anomaly but after hearing all these, perhaps I still underestimated you a bit¡­, you''re a freak". Heughed.


    They spent a few seconds of silence between them as they observed this then Admiral Onana spoke again. "Are you ready?"


    "The war?" Legs did not turn his head.


    "Yeah¡­, you''re feeling jittery?"


    Legs did not answer immediately, he turned his head to look at his friend before he chuckled. "You''re nervous?"


    Admiral Onana rubbed his nose as heughed. "You know, not everyone is like you, calm and stuff after already seeing into the future".


    "Yes, I''m now an Admiral but I''m still a normal Nak warrior".


    "I know we''ve made a lot of preparations but the Beast Coalition is truly a gigantic power, I feel that everything won''t go as smoothly as we envision".


    "Things may go bad and that''s what I fear".


    "I''m not scared ofying down my life for Nak State, afterall that''s my duty as a Nak warrior¡­, what I''m instead scared of is the future".


    "What if something happens?"


    "What if there truly is a spy and he leeks our ns?"


    "What if the Beast Coalition have a secret trump card that we don''t know about? Like you said, even some parts of the future escape your seeing eyes".


    "What if something happens to you?"


    "What if you''re targeted and you suddenly die before the war starts?"


    "I have so many what ifs in my head and they''re making me worry".


    Admiral Onana looked at his friend. "That''s why I want to know¡­, do you feel nervous or jittery at all?"


    Legs looked at his friend, he opened his mouth. "I¡­"


    ¡­


    The Minerva Star System at this point in time was experiencing an unprecedented moment in history after so many years of ying it the cool way, the 2 leading powers were finally drawing on theirrge reserves of war resources.


    They were already onto the final stages of the war preparation.


    Mobilization was the final preparations.


    Rockfest¡­


    At this moment, on top a gigantic teau where 30 warships waited, levitating in the skies above them, thousands of talented Pugilists waited.


    These were the geniuses that had been training in Rockfest for decades and for some even centuries.


    After such a long time isted in this hidden, their state was finally calling upon them to represent them in war.


    It was time to fulfill their duty.


    3000 Pugilists were gathered on the teau and at their front stood an old man with white beard and hair.


    This old man was Rockfist, Rockfest''s keeper and one of the hidden Cmity Grade Supers of Nak State.


    At this moment, garbed in imposing white armor, he held a gigantic silver Spear that seemed to resonate with this despite being in an inactive state.


    The air around him warped due to his Pugilist energy''s presence alone.


    He faced his students. "You lots are some of the best Pugilists that the Nak bloodline was able to produce, it''s time we put our talent to work".


    This old man''s face was solemn. "It''s war time¡­, and our President and navy has released the call of duty unto us".


    "We are obligated to answer it".


    He looked at his silver spear. "It''s been centuries since I''ve taken this baby into the battlefront, we are a bit rusty now but we''ll soon regain our edge".


    This old Pugilist finally turned his back to the Pugilists as he looked at the warships above him. "You know, wartime is opportunity time to true warriors".


    "Who wants to forge new legends with me?!" He roared.


    "Me!" The Pugilists behind him also roared.


    "Hehe¡­," He chuckled. "Let''s go out there and show the dominance of the strongest super ss out there, let''s forge a new legend for the youngsters so more of them can decide to be Pugilists in the future".


    "For Nak State!" He raised his silver spear and roared.


    "For Nak State!" They roared after him.


    And the next moment, the warships finally moved after taking the 3,000 Pugilists in as they left Rockfest the next moment.


    This mobilization was just one of many across the Minerva Star System at this moment as the 2 ruling powers finally decided to pull their weight.


    In others, the Cmity Grade Summoners of the Nak State took responsibility as all the experimental beasts that were being grown for war across decades were finally mobilized by these master beast tamers.


    In other hiddens, warships upon warships pulled out of hibernation as they were finally mobilized for what they were created for¡­, war.


    Technological weapons that were crafted by the scientific departments of Nak State were mobilized under special units, units that were under specific ns that were already funed by the Admirals.


    Nak State was not the only one preparing, Ackermann State did the same.


    And 5 hours to the time, a great teleportation portal opened.


    Again, another unprecedented situation happened as all the warriors of Ackermann State and their war resources that would be going to the war made the giant leap, appearing in Nak territory.


    Their arrival was the final preparation.


    The Minerva Star System was ready for war.


    ¡­


    Legs looked at his friend, he opened his mouth to answer his question. "I really don''t know if I''m jittery, what I know is that it does not matter if I am".


    "A lot of expectations are on me and I must pull my weight this war".


    "For that¡­," He grinned. "I am ready".


    "I am ready for war".

 Chapter 618 The Drumbeats Of War! [1]

    ?


    Far away outside the recognized territories of the Minerva Star System in the records and maps of the Gundogan High Race, a new colony thrived.


    A new colony of interconnecteds thrived in this new colonized region of space and at the center of it all was a certain.


    This was the capital of the new Beast Empire.


    This was the center of the Beast Empire.


    Years ago, the Beast King inaugurated this new home of beasts and like usual, he gave a speech.  Ancestor Mandrill is a relic of the beast dream".


    "It is a totem in homage to our greatest ancestor".


    The Beast King''s face was solemn as his speech was broadcasted to all the citizens of the new Beast Empire. At that moment, he felt proud more than any other moment in his life.


    And above all, he felt relief and fulfillment.


    "I see the old Mandrill as the greatest ancestor of our Empire".


    "Sadly, I didn''t even get to know his name".


    "In that cold, dark, chaotic prison where I was held and forced to fight, he was my only beacon of light in that deep darkness".


    "His death devastated me but it gave birth to a dream".


    "The dream of the Beast Empire".


    "The dream of a world where beasts are no longer oppressed".


    "It took a long time, centuries but finally, here we are".


    Ancestor Mandrill is a tribute to him".


    With that, this came to life.


    3 of the 5 Upper Beast Priests of the Beast Coalition and the Beast King himself lived in Ancestor Mandrill.


    The 3rd Upper Beast Priest, the Destruction Priest lived in Beast Freedom. This was the at the very edge of the territories of the new Beast Empire, and he was the protector.


    He was the first line of defense of the Beast Empire.


    The 1st Upper Beast Priest, the Snow Monkey; the 2nd Upper Beast Priest, the Golden Langur; and the 5th Upper Beast Priest, Bumblebee stayed in Ancestor Mandrill alongside the Beast King.


    This was the inner sanctum of the new Beast Empire.


    As for the 4th Upper Beast Priest, the Deer Demi-god, he was the leader of the patrol force that roamed round the territories of the new Beast Empire on top the mobile, the Shelter Priest.


    These were the top powers of the new Beast Empire.


    At this moment, Ancestor Mandrill was as cool and peaceful as usual as the beast residents here went on about their daily life.


    The Beast King was determined to build a true thriving economy for beasts like any other sentient civilization, and he did his best to achieve this.


    Special schools, hospitals, and super training centers to mention but a few were the numerous measures that he employed to get the new Beast Empire up to speed with all the Star System level civilizations out there.


    This morning was just like any other morning in Ancestor Mandrill.


    A cheerful atmosphere of optimism was in the air as parent beasts took their young children to school, even as the teenagers went to their super training centers in their quest to emte their role models, the Beast Priests.


    Every young beast aimed to be a Beast Priest someday.


    From the day that they were born, their hate for the other sentient races that looked down on the beast race was born.


    The movement of the Beast Coalition was their goal.


    Every single young beast wanted to grow up and be a champion of the Beast Coalition someday.


    They all wanted to be the next 1st Upper Beast Priest.


    They could never forget that day.


    The footage was like a national relic in Ancestor Mandrill.


    The footage of that day that their Emperor embarked on mission cripple Ackermann State. That day, all the young beasts of the Beast Empire felt goosebumps as they saw their heroes in action.


    Watching the Presidential vi of Ackermann State erupt in mes, and watching the subsequent staff of the Snow Monkey end the arrogant Ackermann President''s life, all the young beasts roared in victory.


    They felt their hearts on their throats when the Ackermann State rose up in arms against their heroes but in the end, beasts always prevail.


    Watching the Roaming Priest, the Plecostomus wreak havoc against the Ackermann Admirals with his twin ck rods, they felt goosebumps.


    Watching the Snow Monkey sh with the strongest warrior of the Ackermann State, these young beasts felt their blood boil hot.


    "Death to all Naks!" They roared.


    "Death to all Ackermanns!"


    "Death to all humans!" They felt on a high.


    At the end, watching the 2nd Upper Beast Priest, the Golden Langur flex his incredible power at the end to beat the incredibleary defense of the Ackermann State''s capital, these young warriors grew ambitious.


    Someday, they must also be warriors of the Beast Empire.


    With this motivation birthed that day and subsequent victories of the Beast Coalition, the young beasts gave their all in training every day.


    This resulted in a booming super culture.


    With time, new geniuses of the Beast Empire would be born.


    Located at the center of this, the Emperor''s Pce¡­


    The Beast Emperor''s pce was built like any other building in this. This was in reflection of his ideology for beasts to no longer be shackled under a system, and for beasts to live a life of freedom.


    At this moment, in the Emperor''s Pce, the Beast Emperor stood on a balcony as from here, he looked at the thriving atmosphere of his.


    He stood there for dozens of minutes until someone else came.


    The Golden Langur was full of smiles. "Congrattions to us brother, our dreams pushed by you are finally being fulfilled".


    The Beast Emperor smiled. "Seeing the smiles and enthusiasm on the faces of these young beasts¡­, I can kill to keep it this way".


    "I hope it stays like this forever".


    The Golden Langur sighed. "You know how unrealistic that is".


    "In my opinion, the best n was still to find a way for beasts and the other sentient races to co-exist, living this way is simply unsustainable".


    "We can''t co-exist!" The Beast Emperor turned to face his friend with sharp eyes. "This became our fate the day that they decided to enve us".


    "To keep it like this for the young beasts, I will do anything".


    "I will continue to engage in mass murder".


    "I will continue to kill".


    "I will continue to be the viin".


    The Golden Langur sighed again. "What of ElKing?"


    Hearing that name, the Beast Emperor calmed down. "We have no choice, it''s a means to an end".


    He looked at his friend. "It''s a necessary evil".


    BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!


    Both of theirmunication devices suddenly rang warning rms at the same time, they were stunned as they looked at it only to see the enraged face of the Destruction Priest''s assistant on the line.


    It was the Turtle Priest, the Berserker Turtle and at this moment, this Cmity Grade Beast had a look of shock and panic on his face.


    "Invaders!" He roared.


    "They are here!"


    Both Beasts were stunned but the Golden Langur reacted first, taking the first appropriate step. "Calm down, tell us, what is happening?"


    "They''re here!"


    "The Naks¡­, the Ackermanns¡­, they''re here!"


    The eyes of these 2 beasts widened, and it happened.


    BOOMMMM¡­!!!


    The force rocked them off their feat like an earthquake just erupted.


    Struggling to stay on his feet, the Beast Emperor and the Golden Langur through the balcony looked into the distance where they saw it.


    Precisely, they saw them.


    "¡­!"


    The drumbeats of war released its deep bloody bass.

 Chapter 619 The Drumbeats Of War! [2]

    ?


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­..!"


    For a few seconds, the Beast Emperor and the 2nd Upper Beast Priest were frozen in shock by what they were currently seeing.


    For a moment, they could hear the drumbeats of war.


    Its bloody cacophony reverberated in their heads, flexing its deep bass.


    At the very center of Ancestor Mandrill was a transparent ss dome-shaped building called the Dome of Liberation.


    That was where the node of one of the greatest heroes of the Beast Empire, the Shelter Priest was located and it was also the invasion spot.


    When mobilizing armies from the Beast Empire to go raid territories of the Nak or Ackermann States, most times, the invasion spot was here.


    Entering that dome-shaped transparent building, the Shelter Priest would do what he did best and send armies of beasts into the enemy territory.


    Today though, it was thepletely unexpected vice versa that happened.


    It was not them invading anymore, it was the enemies invading.


    "¡­!" The Beast Emperor was too shocked to speak.


    ''How?'' This question kept on reverberating in his head.


    ''How did they do it?''


    The questions in his head did not matter though because the long reigning peace of Ancestor Mandrill was finally shattered today.


    From the dome-shaped building, gigantic enemy warships charged out of spatial travel as they instantly spread into a gigantic circr formation even as more warships kept oning out to join the formation and make it bigger.


    While all these happened, time seemed to stop in this.


    All the young beasts going to school and their parent beasts stopped as they looked in shock and fascination at the strange warships that were clearly not theirs.


    "Dad, what kind of warship is that?" A young beast asked.


    "What is going on?"


    "¡­!" His dad was confused, he had no idea what was going on.


    "Dad, is this another military drill by the Beast Coalition?"


    That was thest question that the young beast ever got to ask in this life as a thick redser beam descended on this,pletely evaporating that location that this young beast and his father stood a second ago.


    It also affected all the other beasts in the surroundings.


    BOOM!


    The first gave way to the second.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Utter destruction started instantly.


    There was no warning.


    There was no exchange of words or taunting.


    This was war¡­, real war.


    "Arghhh¡­!" The beasts finally understood what was going on as they roared in terror and fear watching the warships levitate above them.


    "Invaders!"


    "Enemies!"


    "The evil sentient races are here to kill us!"


    They roared at the top of their voices as chaos and panic instantly entered the streets of Ancestor Mandrill.


    The beasts that could not protect themselves scrambled for help as they ran to safety amid the chaos that instantly kickstarted.


    While this happened, one of the warship''s deck opened the next moment and from inside it, an Ackermann warrior floated out.


    As soon as he floated out, maic energy spread out like a.


    Then, an absolutely gigantic mech suit appeared.


    It was almost a kilometer tall, towering above the countless residents of this as it''s owner entered inside it the next moment, booting this bad boy to life.


    Seeing this gigantic and familiar mech suit, the Golden Langur''s eyes widened even further in shock.


    To warriors of Ackermann State, this was an iconic mech suit.


    This was the legendary Life Spanner, Fleet Warlord Elyon''s gship mech suit and at this moment, the famed Elyon the Heavy Artillery Mechanic was ready to wreak havoc in enemy territory as he aimed his 2 cannon muzzles at targets.


    As this mech suit descended, he pulled the trigger.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Sheer destruction and obliteration force was unleashed.


    Whatever it hit stood no chance before this absolute force of terror, the canons burned through everything they touched like it was not there.


    "¡­!" The Beast Emperor was still stunned.


    "No¡­," He muttered.


    Watching the young beasts dying, this beast felt like he was going crazy.


    "No¡­"


    "No!"


    "NOOOO¡­!"


    The Wisdom Priest snapped out of it first. "We need to protect the young beasts, they''re the future of the Beast Empire!"


    He dialed a number. "Activate the egg protection mechanism!"


    The Wisdom Priest barely spoke into the channel when another deeper and clearer voice took over. "All defense units, mobilize!"


    "Converge on the Emperor''s pce!"


    "Protect the Emperor at all costs!"


    "Yes, Lord Snow Monkey!"


    The voice kept on speaking in a far calmer tone than the Wisdom Priest. "All support units, flood the streets and save as much civilian beasts as possible".


    "Activate the egg protection mechanism!"


    "Yes, Lord Snow Monkey!"


    The voice continued, and this time they could tell that the calmness was just a forced one, the rage bubbling within its owner could not be hidden this time.


    "All assault units¡­, ON ME!!!" The 1st Upper Beast Priest roared.


    Elyon only got the chance to go on a rampage for a few seconds when the strongest Beast Priest of the Beast Coalition charged out.


    From the air, his staff was coated with aggressive golden energy.


    When he stabbed with this staff, nature moved with it.


    "Primate Power: Golden Staff!"


    "Primate Power: Golden Armor!"


    "Self-Created Magic Ability: Almighty Push!"


    BOOMMMMM¡­!!!


    Golden staff collided against cannons and an absolute eruption of power urred as golden and red sparks filled the air like deadly fireworks in a night sky.


    The war started in Ancestor Mandrill.


    ¡­


    The bulk of the invasion force appeared in this periphery.


    Old man Rockfist and his army of Pugilists appeared here.


    The 2 Summoner Admirals and their army of beasts from the cultivation hiddens appeared here with theirrge number of exotic beasts.


    A 3rd, 4th, and 5th Admiral followed to this.


    And at this moment, a sh of titans already started¡­


    "How dare you show your face in my territory?!" The Destruction Priest was angry and whenever this bad boy was angry, destruction followed.


    Mini explosions of ck energy erupted from this Doom Cow and they engulfed any matter in the surroundings as he flexed his antimatter energy.


    Both grass, sand, flesh, metal, anything called matter in the surroundings was engulfed, turning them into nothingness in a disy of total destruction!


    The Destruction Priest''s energy was a truly unique and dangerous one and fueled by his rage, his momentum seemed unstoppable at this moment.


    His rage was palpable.


    "I am Duhkha''s rod of war!" The beast roared.


    "You all shall bow before the power of destruction!"


    Taking a step in the air the next moment while facing the 5 Cmity Grade Supers that dared to stand against him, this Beast Priest spread his powerful cow arms as the glowing golden emblem on his chest glowed brighter.


    He seemed to call upon power from the universe as mini explosions detonated around him then his eyes finally focused on his targets.


    "Self-Created Technique: Antimatter Aura- Fear Gaze!"


    BZZZ!


    Instantly, all 5 Cmity Grade warriors felt like an immensely powerful predator was gazing at their souls as for a brief moment, they became stunned in the air, unable to move or control their bodies.


    "Self-Created Technique: Antimatter Energy- Antimatter Bomb!"


    The Destruction Priest did it.


    A gigantic ck mass of erratic energy condensed from his body before rapidly elerating towards the Cmity Grade warriors like a bomb.


    It detonated in a wild affair of destruction.


    BOOMMMM¡­!


    Sheer destruction followed.


    This was war!

 Chapter 620 Operation Eliminate The Destruction Priest- The Doom Cow!

    ?


    BOOMMMM¡­!


    The Destruction Priest''s antimatter bomb detonated.


    Sheer destruction followed as the ck explosion traveled through the air at an astonishing speed, intent on tearing all 5 Cmity Grade warriors that dared to challenge this powerful Beast Priest to shreds.


    Still affected by the Destruction Priest''s gaze, none of the 5 Cmity Grade Supers including Rockfist were able to react to the expanding destruction.


    This was until he finally made his move, the 6th Cmity Grade Super that was designated to stopping the Destruction Priest.


    The first thing that made an appearance was an absolutely gigantic mech suit whose 50% of metal mass was taken by its absolutely humungous hands.


    The hands of this mechanic suit were a unique type of weapon.


    Inside them was like ckholes with blue energy moving erratically.


    As soon as the new Cmity Grade appeared, the Destruction Priest noticed as his eyes darted there but he did not pay much attention to the new arrival.


    The Destruction Priest soon grew to regret this cause of action.


    "Self-Created Technique: Mech Resonance!"


    Bzzz!


    The gigantic metal body of this mechanic suit soon glowed with energy as the mechanic''s maic energy snaked through it erratically, then all this energy started gathering at the muzzle of the mech''s gigantic hands.


    All these energies were unleashed as a violet beam towards the explosion.


    WHOM!


    Everything happened in an instant.


    One moment, the antimatter bomb was still rapidly expanding, destroying every bit of matter in this atmosphere but the next moment, as the violet beam rapidly elerated and collided with it, everything disappeared.


    The Destruction Priest''s antimatter bomb disappeared!


    "¡­!" This Beast Priest''s eyes widened in shock.


    This was unprecedented!


    It had never experienced this before.


    Seeing the oue of the first real practical shot, Admiral Zhao''s eyes gleamed, he was the leader of operation eliminate the Destruction Priest.


    Admiral Zhao still remembered that day when the Destruction Priest was wreaking havoc and he saw footage of this beast in action for the first time.


    Then, he in a meeting with all the higher-ups and Admirals of Nak State, his eyes widened in shock. ''Antimatter energy!'' He eximed then.


    ''This beast actually awakened antimatter energy?!'' His voice then reeked of pure shock, attracting the attention of everyone present.


    Then, President Dunk''s eyes narrowed. ''What is antimatter energy?''


    He answered ordingly.


    ''Antimatter substance isposed of subatomic particles that have the mass, electric charge, and maic moment of the electrons, protons, and neutrons of ordinary matter but for which the electric charge and maic moment are opposite in sign''.


    ''One of my greatest research topics in trying to break my current limits is trying to harness the power of antimatter as an energy source''.


    ''Antimatter energy is the annihtion of matter and antimatter itself releases energy''.


    ''Speak in simpler terms''. President Dunk demanded.


    Admiral Zhao''s eyes narrowed as he looked at the Doom Cow. ''In simpler terms, whenbined with super energy, theoretically, this Doom Cow is what can be seen as an embodiment of destruction''.


    ''He has the ability to destroy all forms of matter around him while paying a great price for it, but antimatter releases energy which replenishes his energy''.


    ''This means that in theory, this beast can keep on destroying forever''.


    ''¡­!'' The higher-ups in attendance shuddered.


    ''It cannot be stopped?''


    ''No normal Grade A Super can stop this beast in battle''. Admiral Zhao''s eyes narrowed even further. ''Not even an army of Grade A Supers can theoretically defeat him, his power is a cheat and he is inexhaustible''.


    ''The only way to beat him is either by creating a specific machine that counters his energy affinity or by requesting the help of a Grade S Super!''


    ''¡­''


    Silence dominated the meeting room that day.


    Fast-forward to 3 yearster, Admiral Zhao was no longer the same Mechanic that he was years ago. Not only was he far stronger now, in terms of his research, he already experienced countless breakthroughs.


    Witnessing a temporal storm in action opened his research mind to theories that he never knew before, and this pushed him to a breakthrough.


    Admiral Zhao finally had a breakthrough in his antimatter energy research.


    He was not able to create a device that could harness antimatter energy but Admiral Zhao created something else, a device that when fed with enough super energy can unleash an energy that devours antimatter energy.


    Admiral Zhao''s new mechanic suit, the Antimatter Devourer was the result of his research and today was practical day.


    The Antimatter Devourer was the center of operation eliminate the Destruction Priest, and this was only possible due to Legs.


    Legs'' prophecies were the catalyst of this war.


    Apart from helping them to invade here, information was power.


    Knowing all the Beast Priests of the Beast Coalition, where they were stationed and their powers enabled the allied army of Nak and Ackermann States to device meticulous ns to counter these terrifying beasts.


    One of these counter ns was operation eliminate the Doom Cow.


    The Destruction Priest was a menace and if left unchecked could singlehandedly hand the allied forces of Nak and Ackermann States the loss in this war, this was why so much attention was given to this beast.


    As soon as the antimatter bomb was devoured,pletely canceling it from existence, the remaining 5 Cmity Grades got free from the Doom Cow''s gaze.


    While the Doom Cow was still stunned, trying to contemte what just happened, Rockfist led the others to execute the n.


    "Let''s kill this beast!"


    "Attack¡­!" This Pugilist went on the attack with gusto.


    Grasping his Silver Spear tight, he was able to close the distance to the Destruction Priest in an instant as his spear stabbed into the shoulders of this beast.


    The other Cmity Grade Supers did not hesitate as they also attacked with their most powerful abilities to eliminate this beast.


    "MOOO¡­!" This gigantic beast mooed in anger.


    Its antimatter energy red but Admiral Zhao was on standby as he shot another devourer beam at the Doom Cow thatpletely devoured its energy.


    With antimatter energy gone, the Destruction Priest lost its greatest power.


    The beasts of Beast Freedom could only watch, horrified as these Cmity Grade Supers ganged up on their leader.


    They could not see through the river of attacks being thrown at the Destruction Priest at this moment as it was overwhelmed with attacks.


    5 secondster though¡­


    CLANK!


    Rockfist''s silver spear was repelled.


    When the explosions of power and super energy died down, a bloodied Doom Cow was revealed. At this moment, this beast was licking the blood on his lips with a fanatical look in his eyes as he stared at the mechanic hovering far away.


    "A machine that can counter me¡­, hahaha¡­, I''m impressed".


    "How long did it take you to create it?"


    "Probably years". This Beast Priestughed ominously.


    "I''ll have to admit, this stunt threw me off my game for a moment". This beast''s eyes narrowed. "But that is not all there is to my game".


    "Antimatter energy is my game but even before I evolved my energy to be antimatter, I was still the 2nd most destructive follower of the Beast King".


    This Beast''s hooves tightened and its body developed a natural thick gray armor the next moment as he looked at his enemies with a malicious grin.


    "It''s centuries too early for me to die¡­, you lots can''t kill me!" This Beast Priest''s eyes turned blood-red the next moment.


    "MOOOOO¡­!!!" It mooed aggressively and went on the attack.


    BOOM!


    The Destruction Priest broke the sound barrier.


    Before the Ackermann Cmity Grade Eart Elementalist could react, this beast was already before him as he aimed to smash his head into pieces.


    Just as the Doom Cow''s arms went on the attack, a silver streak appeared.


    CLANG!


    Rockfist appeared right on time.


    "Not on my watch!" This Pugilist roared as veins showed all over his body.


    His Pugilist energy condensed into a raw physical form the next moment, forming an armor of his own as he charged forward and shed against this beast.


    "Enter containment formation!" Admiral Zhao reacted to this new development instantly, it was also part of the n.


    From the beginning, there was the possibility that apart from his antimatter energy, the Destruction Priest had other means to defend himself and they were ready for it. This operation changed instantly.


    It became operation contain the Destruction Priest.


    Even if they could not kill him, containing him was enough.


    A mighty battle started in Beast Freedom.


    And while the powerhouses fought aggressively, therge invasion force of the allied army rushed into this as they caused destruction everywhere.


    The motto of this war was taking no prisoners until surrender.


    They were killing every beast on sight.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The war raged.

 Chapter 621 Operation Eliminate The Shelter Priest!

    ?


    Outside the territory of the new Beast Empire patrolled a.


    The back of the Shelter Priest was the true base of the Beast Coalition.


    At this moment, like usual, under the leadership of the 4th Upper Beast Priest, the Deer Demi-god, the Shelter Priest was on patrol around this Empire.


    It was while they were on patrol that they got the alert.


    BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!


    "Invaders!" The voice roared.


    It was the same voice of the Turtle Priest, the Berserker Turtle as this beast kept on sounding the rm. "They are here!"


    Adrenaline instantly surged through the body of this Upper Beast Priest but outwardly, he kept a calm demeanor as he looked at the virtual projection.


    "Calm down, look at me, tell me what is happening".


    "They''re here!"


    "The Naks¡­, the Ackermanns¡­, they''re here!" This Beast Priest roared.


    Hearing that, the calcting eyes of the Deer Demi-god flickered.


    ''Invaders¡­''


    ''Naks¡­, Ackermanns¡­'' He made all the calctions and he could already tell exactly what was happening though he was shocked.


    ''How did they do it?''


    ''How did they discover our territory?''


    ''How were they able to make it here without us knowing?''


    ''Why did brother Reptile not warn us about it?''


    This Upper Beast Priest had so many questions in his mind but he knew the priority at this moment. "Where are they?"


    "Tell us everything that you know about the invasion".


    "And¡­," This Upper Beast Priest paused, finally noticing that the surroundings of the Berserker Turtle in the virtual projection looked strange.


    This Upper Beast Priest''s eyes narrowed. "Where are you?"


    The eyes of the Berserker Turtle red in rage. "Somehow, they were able to appear right out of brother''s node where I was tasked to guard".


    "As soon as I saw them, I was shocked".


    "Before I could react, the mechanic among them, the famous War Mechanic aimed at me and shot a special bullet that instantly sank me into a portal".


    "I was exiled into space and I''m currently finding my way back".


    The Deer Demi-god frowned. "Send your coordinates".


    "We''ll pick you up now".


    This Upper Beast Priest finally stood up from his chair as themander of the Shelter Priest''s, the military base of the Beast Coalition.


    Instantly, virtual projections of himself appeared across this the next moment as he spoke.


    "Everyone¡­," He took a deep breath. "We are under attack".


    "Somehow, our enemies found a means to invade our territory".


    "Ours back home are currently being attacked and there''s every likelihood that we''re already a target for attack".


    This Upper Beast Priest''s eyes narrowed into slits. "Signing up for the Beast Coalition, this is exactly what we came for".


    "This is war!"


    "Let''s go out there and fight!"


    "Get yourself mentally prepared, grab your weapons and follow me to war!"


    As soon as this speech ended, the gigantic in the Shelter Priest''s back instantly turned spirited as all the fanatic beast warriors of the Beast Coalition became hot-blooded knowing that the ultimate sh they''ve always dreamed of was here.


    They''ve always dreamed of the day that they would annihte all their enemies, the arrogant sentient races and finally, today was the day.


    While they got prepared, the Deer Demi-god contacted the Shelter Priest.


    This humungous beast was currently raging as he discovered the truth.


    Seeing the look of rage on his face, the Deer Demi-god took a deep breath to prepare himself before looking at him. "Tell me".


    "Those brats!" This humungous beast spat.


    "Somehow, they were able to bypass the security measures of my nodes and make use of my own ability".


    "It''s through my nodes that they are invading". The voice of this old Beast Priest wasced with rage and regret.


    "Calm down, it''s not your fault". The Deer Demi-god remained calm.


    "Can you stop it?"


    "Yes, but I''ll take time since I have to cancel those security measure and create entirely new security measures to my nodes".


    "The only other way is to destroy all my nodes".


    "That''s not an option". The Deer Demi-god shook his head. "How long do you need to create new security measures?"


    "At least 2 hours".


    This Upper Beast Priest calcted rapidly. "Start now and focus on that".


    "Yes, Lord Demi-god".


    This Beast Priest instantly went to work.


    BEEP!


    [NEW! 1 Unread Message!]


    Opening the message, the Deer Demi-god saw the coordinates to the Berserker Turtle''s region in space.


    He instantly passed it to the Shelter Priest. "Create a new node here, take us there before using your node to take us back to Beast Freedom".


    The Shelter Priest acknowledged the order but just as he was about to ess the nodes, a powerful stabilizing force instantly pressed on its gigantic body.


    BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!


    WARNING!


    Warning rms rang across the on its back.


    The A.Is rapidly scanned and gave the reason for their warning signals.


    [Node travel deactivated!]


    [Reason: Heavy Space-time stabilizers have been detected!]


    Heavy space-time stabilizers were gadgets that could only be crafted by the high-end engineers of the Gundogan High Race. To people from Star System Level civilizations, every one of these bad boys was freakishly expensive.


    For someone to use this¡­


    ''The invaders!'' The Deer Demi-god''s eyes gleamed.


    His instincts tingled the next moment as he inclined his head to look to the east, his silvery eyes prated space as he saw them the next moment.


    An army of at least 300 warships came towards their position.


    10 heavy space-time stabilizers were deployed around the Shelter Priest, this was already ridiculous money as every single one of these bad boys already climbed into the figures of into tens of billions of gctic credits.


    The Deer Demi-god''s eyes narrowed.


    He started another virtual projection to address the whole.


    This time, his face was solemn. "The enemies are here!"


    "Get ready to fight!"


    "YEAHHH¡­!" The billions of beasts in this gigantic rejoiced.


    They instantly became filled with bloodlust.


    At the other side, inside the leading warship in the formation was a familiar face, Chief Admiral Gregory of Nak State.


    "Warriors¡­, this is their military headquarters". This Chief Admiral addressed the hundreds of thousands of warriors that followed him to war.


    "This is the base that had caused us so much death and sorrow".


    "I say it''s time for revenge".


    "Let''s go out there with the consciousness of all that we have lost to the beasts and let''s annihte thempletely!"


    "Let''s leave the name and trauma of Nak State as theirst coherent thought before death".


    Chief Admiral Gregory was a Magic Swordsman, a Pugilist whoter branched to be a Master Mage.


    He was the strongest warrior of Nak State.


    And he was the leader of operation eliminate the Shelter Priest.


    This warrior raised his giant sword high. "For Nak State!"


    "FOR NAK STATE!" The warriors behind him roared.


    They jumped into the fray of battle the next moment.


    BOOM!

 Chapter 622 The Beast Coalition Mobile Fortress Vs The Nak And Ackermann Navy!

    ?


    The stage got set for a great battle outside the territories of the Beast Empire.


    At one side stood the gigantic base of the Beast Coalition.


    And at the other side stood a powerful navy force led by Chief Admiral Gregory and in seconds, both forces would sh.


    Raising his giant sword high in the warship, Chief Admiral Gregory roared. "For Nak State!"


    "FOR NAK STATE!" The soldiers also roared as they deployed.


    WHOOSH!


    Hundreds of warships moved through space towards the gigantic mobile fortress on the back of the shelter priest as they aimed their weapons at it.


    All these were state of the art warships created with cutting-edge technology, they were the best that the Nak and Ackermann States had to offer and at this moment, these bad boys proved their power.


    "ATTACK¡­!" Chief Admiral Gregory, being themander of this battlefront roared the next moment as all the warships attacked at the same time.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    It was space, it was silent but the sounds of these explosive armaments rushing through vacuum, charging at their targets instinctively induced an explosive sound in the head of anyone who sat it.


    The physical armaments and ballistic projectiles took longer to appear.


    As for theser beams though, it was instant.


    Burns were instantly recorded in the body of this gigantic-sized beast as the Shelter Priest let out a silent wail in space.


    Inside the on his back, the Deer Demi-god''s eyes flickered.


    "Stay steady and focused".


    "On my signal, activate the mobile fortress defense shield".


    "Steady¡­"


    "Steady¡­"


    Just before the physical armaments could hit¡­


    "NOW!"


    Vroom!


    Like a butterfly blooming out of its cocoon, a gigantic gray shield expanded out of this-sized beast the next moment as it covered his full body just before the physical projectiles could smash into his skin.


    These physical projectiles collided against the shield with force as its gray surface rippled even as these projectiles were burnt to ash.


    The shield was no normal shield, its surface burned hot at several tens of thousands of degrees centigrade.


    A normal human would turn to ashes meters from its surface.


    This was the defensive shield of the Beast Coalition''s mobile fortress.


    After their first salvo of attacks failed to achieve the goals that the Nak warriors wanted, as they got set to unleash another salvo of attacks at their gigantic target, the Deer Demi-god finallyunched his counterattack.


    "Deploy the cosmic beasts¡­, NOW!"


    Whoosh!


    Several thousands of gigantic beastsunched out of the Shelter Priest''s body the next moment, with the shortest of them all being several kilometers long as these gigantic beasts lumbered into space in different formations.


    Cosmic beasts were beasts that already evolved enough to survive the radiation of the cosmos, and these ones were all gigantic.


    Onemon factor among them though was that they had numerous gigantic holes that went across their gigantic bodies.


    As these beasts lumbered into space, the reasons for the holes became evident as from the holes, the bodies of smaller beasts were detected.


    These beasts donned special armors that were called raid suits.


    Most beasts were unable to train along the super spectrum like humans, but inpensation for this, they enhanced their bodies with raw mana while getting countless abilities in the process to help them fight.


    The function of the raid suits was to amplify the inherent abilities of these beasts, and these beasts in raid suits at this moment rode on the cosmic beasts.


    Before the warships could unleash their 2nd salvo of attacks, these beasts in raid suits did as from inside the cosmic beasts, they unleashed destruction.


    BAM¡­!


    BAM¡­!


    BAM¡­!!!


    It was literally silent death in space at this moment.


    Poison beams wereunched by the beasts with poison nds as through their raid suits, they turned entire regions of space into poison disaster zones.


    Those who could breathe fire spread fire everywhere like Dragons.


    Those who could control wind induced terrible wind in this battlefield as they affected the warships of the Nak and Ackermann Navy that were against them.


    There were other special beasts with special abilities too, some with maic abilities that could directly affect the metal surface of these warships.


    Others with special soul abilities that could directly target the warriors manning these warships, countless beasts with countless abilities roared war cries at this moment in space as they unleashed their wrath on their archenemies.


    The warriors of the Nak and Ackermann Navies did not cower in fear either.


    Facing the ruthless counterattack of these beasts, the warships deployed their defense even as they finally let their individual champions into space.


    Specifically for this operation eliminate the Shelter Priest, special armors were made that could enable swifter movement in a region affected by spatial storms and only the worthy warriors could use these special armors.


    At this moment, these special warriors charged out to lead the charge against the beasts.


    Of course, the indomitable Pugilists led at the very front.


    "For Nak State!" They roared.


    Their punches induced forceful shockwaves of destruction in space.


    Directly behind them were the mechanics with their mechanic suits. Across gctic space, it was agreed everywhere that mechanics were the boss of space battles and at this moment, these warriors showed their specialties again.


    Riding round this battlefield, they dictated the tempo of the war.


    They could decide to go into close-range battle to support the Pugilists when the beasts start pushing them back, and at the same time they could maintain their distance, simply content with unleashing salvo after salvo of attacks with the myriad weapon armaments that they created on their mech suits.


    The Summoners also fused with their beasts, those that were powerful enough as they directly charged into space to face off against the beasts.


    The battle turned into an intense but controlled one as death urred every second across this massive battlefield.


    The Psychics, Elementalists, and Mages dominated from the back as they unleashed salvo after salvo of attacks using their unique super powers.


    All these were just the surface sh though, the Shelter Priest was still pretty intact as the beasts did a good job in protecting it whileunching their counterattack against the daring enemies that tried to attack them.


    At the moment, they were at a stalemate but this would soon change.


    Onboard the biggest and best-equipped warship in this battlefield where Chief Admiral Gregory observed the battlefield from, a special unit was present.


    Consisting of only magic warriors, they were called the Mage Warrior unit.


    They were a special elite unit under Chief Admiral Gregory.


    Every single one of the 50 warriors in this unit was his student, and they followed him to every war.


    At this moment, these 50 warriors itched to take part in the action.


    They didn''t wait for long though.


    Without turning back, Chief Admiral Gregory spoke. "The warships already assumed the containment formation; no beast can escape now".


    "We can nowmence the true operation".


    "In my absence, Gravis, you are in charge of all the warships".


    "Yes, Chief Admiral". The old war general behind him nodded respectfully.


    That was all that this Chief Admiral needed to delegate as his eyes began glowing white the next moment even as his brown magic armor started creaking under the sheer presence of his aura and energy at this moment.


    Chief Admiral Gregory no longer hesitated.


    BOOM!


    Heunched out of the warship into space.


    To the beasts, they saw a white meteor storm out of one of the warships as it rapidly started elerating towards them.


    Behind this white meteor were 50 other streaks of white light moving through space at this moment, they seemed unstoppable.


    The hotblooded beasts tried to stop them but they melted on impact.


    Nothing could stop them and their destination?


    It became evident in an instant¡­, the Shelter Priest''s gigantic body!


    "Protect the Shelter Priest!" The desperate beasts roared.


    Then, about 2 kilometers away from the mobile fortress of the Beast Coalition, a mini explosion urred in the Shelter Priest''s body as a silvery thick domain erupted from the Shelter Priest, decreasing the speed of everything in it.


    Inside this domain, spatial destruction destroyed everything that entered its jurisdiction.


    This was a spatial storm!


    And it was induced by the Shelter Priest.


    This could not stop Chief Admiral Gregory though as he continued his charge even as his gigantic sword became red hot, ready for the ultimate strike.


    Another secondter, another explosion of power urred in the Shelter Priest''s back as an existence charged out of this mobile fortress.


    It was a familiar Deer that Seer Legs already warned him about.


    The thick horns of this Deer glowed with golden energy as it kept on increasing in intensity to the extent it seemed to be a sun in space.


    Then the Deer finally spoke.


    "Self-Created Ability: Into the Demonic Psychic Gate- Unleash!"


    The golden energy in the thick horns turned into a horrifying psychic power.


    BZZZZ¡­!


    This power erupted!

 Chapter 623 Chief Admiral Gregory Vs The Deer Demi-God, The 4th Upper Beast Priest!

    ?


    BZZZZ¡­!


    The horrifying psychic power erupted and right there in space, it seemed like the big bang was urring again to herald a new age of life.


    All the present life seemed on the verge of experiencing an extinction.


    The power of the Deer Demi-god''s psychic ability was that ridiculous.


    It moved through space, seeming to spread the message of the end of life but the recipient at the end of this attack was not ready to die yet.


    By now, Chief Admiral Gregory''s cutting-edge giant sword was now so red hot that even vacuum and space seemed to sizzle under its mere presence.


    BZZZ!


    Chief Admiral Gregory activated his magic and Pugilist domain both at the same time as he formed a buffer for his 50 subordinates behind him that were charging after him.


    Left unchecked, he had no doubt that this psychic storm would eliminate every single one of them on impact.


    That was how horrifying it was.


    With his students safe, the eyes of this Chief Admiral became focused as time and space seemed to stop, focusing in tandem with him.


    Chief Admiral Gregory raised his gigantic sword as his brown armor dimmed in color, almost bing pitch-ck as power seemed to be drawn from it.


    "Self-Created Magic Ability: 4th Concept of Wind- Hurricane!"


    A terrifying hurricane seemed to erupt right there in space and within those milliseconds, the gigantic sword absolved all this hurricane energy.


    "Self-Created Magic Ability: 1st Concept of Fire- me!"


    "Self-Created Magic Ability: 3rd Concept of Fire- Furnace!"


    BZZZ!


    A mighty me as big as a burning continent appeared the next moment only for this crazy fiery power to be swallowed by the sword again.


    "Self-Created Magic Ability: 1st Concept of Gravity- Heaviness!"


    The surrounding vacuum instantly became heavier.


    "Self-Created Magic Ability: 2nd Concept of Gravity- Force; Push and Pull!"


    Space seemed to creak and wail under this horrifying power of gravity in disy but everything died down when the sword absolved this energy again.


    "Self-Created Magic Ability: 1st Concept of Light- Illumination!"


    A light like the sun appeared the next moment, illuminating everywhere.


    And again, the sword absolved all the power in it.


    Everything happened in less than a second.


    The Deer Demi-god''s horrifying psychic st was now closer than ever before. No matter how powerful Chief Admiral Gregory was, if hit head-on by this attack without dodging, he would suffer, most likely severely injured.


    Chief Admiral Gregory had no ns of being passive though.


    After his cutting-edge sword absolved all this energy, the sword did not just be bigger, its presence became countless times heavier.


    As for its edge, it glowed with the colors of the rainbow.


    His white eyes glowed with power onest time.


    "Self-Created Pugilist Ability: Nature Connection- Heavenly sh!"


    He finally swung the sword and the heavens seemed to halt in response.


    WHOOOM¡­.!


    It was vacuum but an eerie shrill whisper could be heard as this sword cut through space, seeming capable of cutting the universe in twain.


    Then it finally shed against the Deer Demi-god''s psychic st.


    No sound reverberated but silent destruction urred.


    2 powers fought a silent battle in space.


    There was an ovep of magic, pugilist, and psychic energies as all 3 energies engaged in a tussle for supremacy thatsted only an instant.


    The next¡­


    WHOOM!


    The sword cut through with sheer impunity and arrogance.


    The Deer Demi-god could not react on time as this powerful sword cut through his body but was this really his body?


    The body that was cut through divided in twain like paper as the energy apanying the sword continued cutting towards the Shelter Priest.


    This was Chief Admiral Gregory''s target from the beginning.


    This sword strike collided against the shield and it groaned.


    It did notst long though, a sharp tiny hole was cut through, exposing the Shelter Priest''s body as 5 warships instantly invaded through that tiny hole.


    Operation deactivate the shield started for the warriors manning those 5 warships as the 50 warriors of Chief Admiral Greg''s elite unit led them, they were prepared from the beginning to fulfill this mission.


    One attack from Chief Admiral Gregory was all it took to cut through the Deer Demi-god and cut the gigantic and expensive shield open.


    But¡­, was that how weak an Upper Beast Priest was?


    The body that was cut through was like it seemed, it was just paper.


    That was not the real body.


    Where was the real body?


    "Self-Created Ability: Psychic Injection!"


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Metal Bloodline- Iron Apocalypse!"


    All across the body of the Deer Demi-god wasced with golden metal spikes, this was due to its extremely rare Metal bloodline and at this moment, this beastced all these spikes with a psychic injection.


    The psychic injection gave him the ability that when any of these spikes wasunched, it would no longer be just a physical attack but a psychic one too.


    A physical attack with a mental one injected into it.


    This was his psychic injection and iron apocalypsebo.


    As soon as the Deer Demi-god disappeared, he appeared directly beside Chief Admiral Gregory and at this range, heunched all his body spikes.


    Thousands of spikes wereunched at this Chief Admiral at point-nk range allced with psychic injections.


    No one had ever survived against this ability from the Deer Demi-god but not today, Chief Admiral Gregory reacted.


    "Special Bloodline Ability: Liberation- Ultra Instinct!"


    "Self-Created Ability: Rampage of the frenzied Magic Swordsman!"


    This warrior''s magic and pugilist energies red.


    His cutting-edge sword was still filled with all the magic powers that he stacked into it as it glowed a rainbow color, and with these powers, he struck back.


    Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Chief Admiral Gregory struck a thousand times in less than a second with his sword as he parried the frenzied attack of the Deer Demi-god.


    The Deer Demi-god did not stop at that, despite being shocked at the reaction of his opponent, he was an Upper Beast Priest.


    "ROAR¡­!" Roaring, his psychic energy erupted like an avnche.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    At the center of this battlefield, the 2 strongest individual powers battled to the death, forming a literal zone of death around their personal battlefield.


    While they did this, the 5 warships that invaded the Shelter Priest''s gigantic body continued operation deactivate the shield when the others appeared.


    "You dare¡­!" A gigantic voice reverberated and when they looked, they saw him, he was also on the list shown by Seer Legs.


    It was the Racoon, the Pirate Priest.


    Holding his Double Rifles, this Beast Priest unleashed hell against the 2 warships intent on killing them but he was halted in his tracks the next moment.


    "Self-Created Ability: Long-range Vision; urate Snipe!"


    BAM!


    The electromaic beam tore through the Racoon''s chest as it groaned in pain while instantly recoiling, entering a defensive stance.


    This shot was from a warship at the very back of the attacking warships.


    Manning it was another Admiral of Nak State, a Cmity Grade mechanic who spent his entire life working and fighting with only Sniper Rifles.


    He was a master marksman, sniping distant targets was his specialty.


    3 other Beast Priests appeared the next moment but 3 other Cmity Grades also appeared in the invading side, countering their influence.


    This was when the beasts discovered to their shock that somehow, their opponents knew their full forcebination because a 6th Cmity Grade super appeared on the opposition side, Admiral Onana.


    Somehow, these invaders knew how many Cmity Grade Beasts were here and by bringing a 6th Cmity Grade now, they now overwhelmed the beasts.


    Operation eliminate the Shelter Priest went on at full force.

 Chapter 624 The Battle Of Planet Ancestor Mandrill! [1]

    ?


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Explosive sounds reverberated all across this gigantic.


    Destruction was spread everywhere by the enemy warships roaming about the atmosphere of this at this moment.


    Led by the 1st Upper Beast Priest, the Snow Monkey, the assault unit of the capital of the Beast Empire was already mounting a counterattack but the enemies simply came too prepared for this decisive battle.


    In literally every aspect of war, they dominated.


    From the beginning of the Beast Coalition, despite the support from their secret backer, the Beast King was always grounded in reality.


    Having stayed in the Minerva Star System long enough, he knew from the onset that in a head-on battle, they stood no chance before the expansive war resources of their opponents.


    In terms of warships, the Nak State alone dwarfed the Beast Coalition in firepower and mixing the Ackermann State into the form only further widened the distance in terms of military power.


    In terms of technological advancement, a terrorist organization simply could not match the foundations and umtions of a state that had been around for centuries hoarding the best resources of a full star system to themselves.


    Perhaps, the only aspect that the Beast Coalition was superior was their number of Cmity Grade Beasts but even this advantage was cut off as they were not going up against one state but both states of the Minerva Star System.


    For a moment, the Beast King felt regret. ''Perhaps I may have chewed on more than my stomach can digest''.


    The Nak and Ackermann States were the hegemons of the Minerva Star System for a reason, the Beast King understood this from the very beginning.


    This understanding was what made him create the Beast Coalition.


    A terrorist organization whose prosperity was based on their stealth and covert approach.


    With the Shelter Priest, the Beast Coalition had ess to a mobile war fortress that they could use to invade into enemy territory when they least expect it, cause a lot of damage and still retreat unscathed.


    This was why, for years they remained a thorn at the side of the 2 ruling States of the Minerva Star System despite their deep foundations and power.


    Keeping their base hidden was always their power but that was not the Beast King''s goal, his ultimate goal was to create an empire for beasts.


    An empire where beasts could thrive.


    An empire where beasts were no longer discriminated against.


    He tried his best to make sure that the Beast Empire was hidden from the outside world, even his backers but s, it was still their undoing.


    ''How did they discover our territory?'' The Beast Kingmented.


    ''I thought we did a perfect job in hiding it''.


    ''I''m even sure that ElKing doesn''t know yet¡­, how did they know?''


    ''How?!''


    This beast''s inner musings did not stop the destruction though.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Fire spread everywhere as canons andser beams raked against the surface of this, rendering everything they touched to nothingness and ash.


    In the atmosphere of this, the battle for aerial supremacy burned hot but the warships of the Beast Coalition were massively outnumbered.


    Like in all the other battlefronts, the enemies seemed to know the exact number of war resources that they had and simply brought enough to overwhelm them in this decisive battle.


    The beast army was losing.


    Despite the intense nature of this war, one priority still towered above all the others and this priority was ensuring the safety of the Beast Emperor.


    The leader of the beast defense units was the Elephant Priest, the Strength Elephant who at this moment shed against the enemies with all his power.


    One of the 2 Cmity Grade Supers leading the assault against the Beast Emperor was the 2nd strongest in Nak State, Admiral Chou.


    This slim Admiral was a Pugilist who wielded a spear with a long thin de.


    He was the fastest existence in this battlefield.


    With his spear, wrapping his Pugilist energy around himself, he was able to turn into a drill as he shed against the gigantic shield erected by the Beast Empire''s defense unit to protect their Emperor.


    Each time that he shed against it, this shield released sparks even as it wobbled, the Strength Elephant was a big reason why it didn''t shatter yet.


    He was not the only one though, the 2nd leader of operation eliminate the Beast King was the strongest Cmity Grade of Ackermann State before Elyon''s return from his seclusion, the Psychic Mockingbird.


    This warriordy with long white hair was the strongest Psychic in this war.


    She wielded 2 white rods as weapons.


    With the ability to infuse both rods with her horrifying psychic energy, her offensive power increased to a ridiculous level as anytime she swung the rods, reality seemed to crack before her incredible power.


    Warriors weaker than the Grade B realm simply could not stand the presence of her sheer mental power as they copsed just by looking at her otherworldly existence, she was like a walking box of disaster.


    Alongside Admiral Chou, they assaulted the beast defense unit aggressively.


    "Self-Created Technique: One Heart; One Spear!"


    "Self-Created Pugilist Ability: Drilling Spear!"


    "Special Pugilist Ability: Energy Detonation- Explosive Charge!"


    BOOM!


    The slim Admiral turned into a red meteor in the air as he elerated towards the gigantic shield with immense speed again as he seemed to be one with his thin-ded spear.


    While he attacked, the Psychic Mockingbird assisted him.


    "Self-Created Technique: Psychic Arizona!"


    BZZZ!


    A domain of psychic energy was formed as she underwent a transformation.


    Thisdy warrior''s white hair scattered everywhere as she seemed to turn into an evil witch the next moment even as her eyes glowed red, contrasting her hair as psychic power revolved around her.


    "Self-Created Ability: Psychic Infusion!"


    "Self-Created Ability: Nature Connection- Psychic Explosion!"


    BOOM!


    Swinging her 2 white rods, a mighty psychic power swung with it at the shield as the beast unit got prepared to defend with their lives again.


    Instantly after these 2 Cmity Grade Supers attacked, hidden at the core of this shield, the hidden Priest Scientist made his move.


    Drinking 2 green liquids that sizzled like acid, the body of this Proboscis turned green and filled with energy like the incredible Hulk as he grabbed the energy reactor of the shield the next moment, overloading it with energy.


    Even as the Proboscis did this, the Elephant Priest also made his move.


    "Self-Created Technique: Spartan Rage!"


    "Self-Created Technique: Exorcism!"


    The sheer aura of this Elephant at this moment created a domain of destruction around him and he condensed all this energy to his fists.


    He punched with both fists.


    BOOMMMM!


    The shield wobbled fiercely as powers from both sides shed.


    CRACK¡­!


    A crack was revealed for the first time but as the Proboscis coughed blood even as he poured more energy into the energy reactor, it repaired itself.


    Having seen what happened to the shield this time, the Elephant Priest became desperate. "My King, staying here is no longer safe".


    "It''s time to leave".


    "If you live, the Beast Coalition lives".


    "Please follow us let''s lead you to safety!"


    "¡­" The Beast King looked at his subordinate with unfocused eyes.


    He could not reply, his thoughts were jumbled up, confusion showed in this beast''s eyes. "You were saying?"


    The Elephant Priest''s expression fell. "My King, I said¡­"


    The Beast King took his eyes from the Elephant Priest and looked at another part of this-sized battlefield.


    This was just one part of this gigantic battlefield.


    What attracted his attention was the dying screams of another young beast.


    "¡­!" This beast gnashed his teeth in rage.

 Chapter 625 The Battle Of Planet Ancestor Mandrill! [2]

    ?


    The pce of the Beast Emperor was just one tiny corner of Ancestor Mandrill and the intense battle there was just one part of this war.


    The Beast Emperor watched as destruction befell his.


    BOOM¡­!


    "Noooo¡­!" A young Cheetah screeched in shock as he watched his mother get obliterated by aser beam that was unleashed by one of the enemy warships.


    "Nooo¡­!" This young Cheetah kept on screeching in pain, shock, and denial as he looked at the ash remains of his mother.


    "Guaguin!" A loud voice roared his name the next moment amid all the noise.


    "Move¡­!"


    "Join the others entering the egg mechanism!"


    This young Cheetah looked up at his father that was valiantly fighting against the invaders and he could not help it, he gnashed his teeth as tears rolled.


    ''I hate the sentient races!'' He thought in pain and anger.


    ''I hate them!!!''


    ''I wish I can fight against them like father!"


    The invaders were not just attacking with their warships.


    After the initial bombardment, they let their field troops invade inrge numbers as the supers wreaked havoc, destroying the remnants of the destruction that were already spread by the warships.


    Even as they wreaked havoc, the beast warriors in this also tried to fight them off to protect the evacuation of their families.


    Guaguin''s father, a Grade B Beast was part of the resistance army as he fought valiantly to protect the evacuation of his family.


    Despite his best efforts though, all it took was a casualser beam from a warship to end the life of his wife of 30 years.


    Watching that scene, this beast warrior felt like a piece of cloth.


    He felt like a piece of cloth and that scene just tore him apart ruthlessly.


    Despite feeling empty all of a sudden as he watched his wife disappear from this reality, the sense of duty in him and his hatred against the invaders kept him going as he retaliated fiercely.


    This was until he saw his boy who also witnessed the heartrending scene.


    He instantly became alert. ''Guaguin?!''


    ''He''s still here¡­?! I have to make sure he gets to safety!''


    As he yelled at his son desperately to join the others that were evacuating, he lost his guard for a moment and that was all it took.


    "Special Pugilist Ability: Energy Burst!"


    BAM!


    A spear from behind to the heart was all it took to end this beast''s life as the enemy Pugilist''s energy ravaged through his internals.


    This beast warrior did not survive it.


    At hisst moments, he looked at his son. "Guaguin¡­, escape¡­"


    "Survive!"


    "Noooo¡­!" Wailing, the young Cheetah turned as he ran towards the nearest egg mechanism that was loading the evacuators in.


    The egg protection mechanism was the escape mechanism that Bumblebee, the 5th Upper Beast Priest came up with in the case of an invasion.


    These gigantic metal eggs were evacuation devices whose purpose was to carry survivors andunch them into the sky where the mother hen waited.


    The mother hen were gigantic bird-shaped spaceships created by the Bumblebee that werepletely configured towards escape and survival.


    This was how the unlucky civilians in Ancestor Mandrill were being ferried to safety even as the invading forces did their best to cut them off.


    It was ruthless.


    It was heartless¡­, but this was war.


    The Vulture Priest, the Queen Valkyrie was in charge of the evacuation and at this moment, she shed with a Cmity Grade warrior from Ackermann State who was intent on destroying her and the evacuation efforts.


    As soon as Guaguin finally entered an egg mechanism, a few secondster, it was full as this egg-shaped deviceunched out of the ground the next moment.


    It barelyunched when they heard some ominous words.


    "Special Elementalist Ability: Wind Disaster- Laceration!"


    BZZZZ!


    The attack came so fast that the Queen Valkyrie could not react.


    The wind generated such a powerfulceration hurricane that cut through a region of kilometers, tearing everything in its vicinity to dust.


    Guaguin''s egg mechanism was also in its vicinity.


    This young beast''s short life was cut even shorter to an end.


    This was one of the more fortunate encounters in this-sized battlefield, at least he got a swift death.


    Others who were more unfortunate suffered slow torturous deaths.


    This was war!


    Having just watched what happened, the Queen Valkyrie was incensed.


    "Vile Ackermann, you dare¡­!" She lunged for the attack the next moment.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Their intense duel continued in this chaotic battlefield.


    At one side, beast warriors shed against the warriors of the invading allied force as countless deaths were recorded from both sides.


    At another side, warships shed in the air for aerial superiority.


    At another side, the unupied invading warships continued unleashing destruction as they bombarded the surface of Ancestor Mandrill.


    At another side, innocent young beasts got caught in the mes of war, fruits of the seeds that their leaders have been nting for years as they were obliterated without any chances of offering a resistance.


    And at other sides, the battle of the top guns continued.


    Cmity Grade Beasts and Supers kept on shing all across this, the oue of the battle of the top guns would likely determine the oue of this war and the situation was not looking hopeful for the Beast Coalition.


    Every individual Beast Priest of the Beast Coalition was properly targeted, even the most OP of them all as their OP abilities were countered.


    This was a losing war.


    Inside his pce even as battle also raged there, the Beast King watched as the capital of his dream Empire was crumbling before his eyes.


    Before he knew it, tears started rolling down this beast''s eyes.


    The tears were a reflection of his rage and helplessness.


    He shook in rage but there was nothing he could do.


    He looked to the East where the Golden Langur fought against 3 Cmity Grade Supers from the enemy force, there was no chance of a breakthrough anytime soon.


    He looked to the Northwest where Bumblebee shed against a Summoner that led an army of strange Komodo Dragons with maic power.


    This was the worst enemy that this Upper Beast Priest could face in battle.


    Despite being countless times stronger than this Cmity Grade Summoner, the Bumblebee struggled against this Summoner due to the Komodo Dragons.


    At literally every part of this battlefield, the beasts were being choked.


    The Beast King finally looked to the South with hope.


    There, the 1st Upper Beast Priest, the Snow Monkey shed aggressively against Fleet Warlord Elyon, the leader of the Ackermann navy as their battle slowly climbed to its climax.


    The Beast King looked on. ''George¡­''

 Chapter 626 Battle of the Top Guns; the 1st Upper Beast Priest vs Fleet Warlord Elyon! [1]

    Chapter 626 Battle of the Top Guns; the 1st Upper Beast Priest vs Fleet Warlord Elyon! [1]


    When the invasion just started and the 1st Upper Beast Priest entered the scene, he gave 3 very precise orders to his subordinates.


    "All defense units, mobilize!"


    "Converge on the Emperor''s pce!"


    "Protect the Emperor at all costs!"


    "Yes, Lord Snow Monkey!"


    The defense unit led by the Elephant Priest acknowledged the order immediately as they converged on the Beast Emperor''s pce to protect him.


    His 2nd order was directed at the support units.


    "All support units, flood the streets and save as much civilian beasts as possible".


    "Activate the egg protection mechanism!"


    "Yes, Lord Snow Monkey!"


    Led by the Vulture Priest, the Queen Valkyrie, the valiant warriors of the support units did their best to save as many beasts as possible from this.


    They stayed focused on their duty despite the bombardment from the assault forces of the allied forces of their enemies.


    As for the Snow Monkey''sst order¡­


    It was just one sentence, one sentence filled with his rage.


    "All assault units¡­, ON ME!!!" He roared.


    Elyon only got the chance to go on a rampage for a few seconds when the strongest Beast Priest of the Beast Coalition charged out.


    From the air, his staff was coated with aggressive golden energy.


    When he stabbed with this staff, nature moved with it.


    "Primate Power: Golden Staff!"


    "Primate Power: Golden Armor!"


    "Self-Created Magic Ability: Almighty Push!"


    BOOMMMMM¡­!!!


    Golden staff collided against cannons and an absolute eruption of power urred as golden and red sparks filled the air like deadly fireworks in a night sky.


    The war raged in Ancestor Mandrill and at its very center this battle.


    The battle between the 1st Upper Beast Priest of the Beast Coalition and Fleet Warlord Elyon of Ackermann State was the highlight of this battlefield.


    This was the battle of the top guns and it stole the showpletely.


    The Snow Monkey like most of the other Beast Priests was a beast that absolved mana, pushing the physical attributes of his body to the very peak.


    His natural energy affinity was fire but he didn''t stop at that.


    If he stopped at that, he wouldn''t be the strongest.


    Like the Beast King, the Snow Monkey also lived decades in Nak space where he was discriminated and looked down on. During this time, despite all the pain and suffering, he somehow found a way to thrive and be a mage.


    The Snow Monkey was a Mage Beast.


    "Primate Power: Golden Staff!"


    "Primate Power: Golden Armor!"


    Activating these 2 abilities again, his fire affinity triggered as golden fire burned around his body, forming a natural golden armor around himself while also coating his staff with fiery golden energy.


    His energy presence increased due to these 2 abilities alone but he did not stop. At this moment, the Snow Monkey knew how important he was.


    He was the focal point at the center of this battle.


    The oue of the battle in Ancestor Mandrill would determine the oue of the war, and the oue relied on the oue of his battle.


    If he eliminated the enemy Warlord, they would win the war.


    But if he lost, the Beast Coalition would be history.


    The big stakes of this battle pushed this Mage Beast to his limits as his eyes glowed red in rage, motivation, and sheer hatred.


    "Self-Created Magic Ability: Golden Fire Domain!"


    A domain of golden hellfire surrounded him the next moment, engulfing Fleet Warlord Elyon in its domain.


    "Self-Created Magic Ability: Ancient Staff- Heir of Sun Wukong!"


    "Self-Created Magic Ability: Almighty Push!"


    "Self-Created Magic Ability: Almighty Thrust!"


    BOOM¡­.!


    Spacetime literally started fragmenting under the power of this beast.


    So much fire and raw arcane energy revolved around him that it affected nature itself. At this moment, his staff was so golden and glowed so brightly that it seemed to be a mini sun in the atmosphere.


    The air inside his domain of fire became thick and oppressive.


    Holding the glowing Golden Staff with his right hand, he pushed out with his left hand again as a gigantic projection of a Buddha appeared behind him.


    Like him, this giant Buddha also raised a hand and pushed it at the enemy.


    As the hand pushed, all the forces of nature pushed with it.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Fractures and tears appeared in this reality as a humungous golden palm formed out of fire and arcane energy pushed towards Fleet Warlord Elyon.


    This was not all as following the onrushing palm was the Almighty Thrust.


    "RARGHHH¡­!" The Snow Monkey roared aggressively as he thrust out the Golden staff with all his power.


    As the glowing Golden Staff thrust through space, everything left in its wake became a mini ckhole, a reflection of the sheer power behind this strike.


    It seemed invible.


    It seemed unstoppable but Fleet Warlord Elyon was undaunted.


    Inside the gigantic mechanic suit, the eyes of this Warlord gleamed as he was consumed by his incredible fighting intent at this moment and it reflected through the eyes of his mech suit as this mech''s eyes glowed red like a blood moon.


    "Cmity Domain: Purgatory Maosphere!"


    BZZZZ!


    A domain of maism appeared the next moment as electricity crackled everywhere in its vicinity, forming a region that seemed like a purgatory.


    In this region, the mech suit was in its domain.


    And in this region, every foreign element was suppressed.


    The Cmity Domain of Purgatory Maosphere shed against the Magic Domain of Golden Fire the next moment as sparks of raw energy flew up in the air.


    Both domains ground at each other aggressively as the Snow Monkey''s incredible attack continued moving through the atmosphere with impunity.


    "Humph¡­!" Time seemed to freeze as this Ackermann took a deep breath.


    "Self-Created Technique: Gear 5; Ultra-Megazoid!"


    BZZZ!


    Elyon''s mechanic suit transformed in an instant as it grew out 2 extra pair of arms which was just the first of a crazy transformation.


    Growing metallic horns of a beast, the gigantic mechanic suit transformed, bing 3 times bigger while growing out entirely new weapons that no one had ever seen this Mechanic use in battle.


    The base arms of his mechanic suit were still gigantic canonunchers.


    As for its 2 new pair of arms.


    The first pair wielded a pair of gigantic metal Halberds.


    As for the 2nd pair, they wielded a pair of dangerous-looking cuss.


    "Self-Created Technique: Mech Adrenalization!"


    BZZZZ!


    Smoke came out of the gigantic mechanic suit as it seemed to enter a state of adrenaline while putting itself in a stance to finally retaliate against the attack.


    All these from when the Snow Monkey attacked happened in less than a second, and finally Fleet Warlord Elyon made his move.


    "Self-Created Ability: Weapon Overlord!"


    "Self-Created Ability: Hulk- Smash!


    "Self-Created Ability: Abyss sh!"


    The muzzles of the 2 canonunchers became red-hot, then the next moment they opened fire, unleashing at a far higher force than ever before.


    At the same time, the 2 gigantic halberds smashed down.


    And at the same time, the 2 cuss shed horizontally.


    Attack shed against attack¡­, the oue?


    BZZZT!


    BOOMMMMMM¡­!

 Chapter 627 Battle of the Top Guns; the 1st Upper Beast Priest vs Fleet Warlord Elyon! [2]

    Chapter 627 Battle of the Top Guns; the 1st Upper Beast Priest vs Fleet Warlord Elyon! [2]


    BZZZT!


    BOOMMMMMM¡­!


    For a moment, it didn''t feel like the world wasing to an end, it rather felt like the world already ended.


    Golden fire shed against condensed electricity!


    Arcane energy shed against maic energy!


    Mana shed against mana!


    The atmosphere of Ancestor Mandrill could not withstand the power being released by these 2 Cmity Grade Monsters as a gigantic ck crack opened in the sky before extending to the surface of this.


    BOOM¡­!


    The ground cracked open as an earthquake started instantly.


    The momentum of the 2 crazy attacks was yet to die down and as they shed against each other, grounding against each other energy for energy, it was the surrounding environment and climate that suffered.


    10 kilometers around their battlefield that was actually in the air turned into a wastnd as every life unfortunate to be there was obliterated.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The surface of this across a region of 10 kilometers seemed to engage in an ancient sumo dance ritual as it reeled and somersaulted rapidly.


    The surface of Ancestor Mandrill was turned inside out.


    The sky?


    Only a bright light like the sun could be seen as electricity, maism, and golden fire crackled in the air amid red sparks of pure energy.


    This level of power already exceeded the normal Cmity Grade.


    These 2 Monsters were on a whole other level.


    They were the true replicas of the grade called the Cmity Grade, their battle at this moment was a cmity to the where they fought it.


    The momentum of the first sh started dying down only for others to follow as havinge to a mutual agreement, the 2 Monsters participating in this unprecedented battle flew higher into the skies even as they kept on shing.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    Golden afterimages were left behind as the Snow Monkey seemed to turn into Sun Wukong himself, unleashing attacks at a crazy frequency.


    His energy was literal destruction itself at this moment.


    CKRSSH!


    He got a minor breakthrough as he punched a hole through his opponent mech suit''s armor but Fleet Warlord Elyon was not idle.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    The pair of halberds kept on smashing down like heavenly tribtions!


    The sheer force and friction of their movement through the atmosphere tore fractures in this reality even more, Ancestor Mandrill was bleeding.


    The Snow Monkey''s magic shield creaked under the force of this hammering, the pair of metal hands wielding the halberds seemed to transform into the true incredible Hulk as they smashed with impunity and raw power.


    Every smash against the shield made the Snow Monkey''s eyes to twitch.


    And this was just one outlet of attack for the Fleet Warlord.


    Even as the halberds kept on smashing with impunity, the 2 arms wielding the pair of cuss unleashed technique after technique to deal even more damage.


    "Self-Created Ability: Ember sh!"


    "Self-Created Ability: Myriad Connection- Mihawk Combo!"


    "Self-Created Ability: Nature Connection- Megazoid sh!"


    BOOM!


    Every sh, stab, and hack from this pair of cuss cut through the shield of the Snow Monkey into its armor as this Snow Monkey groaned in pain.


    Despite the pain, with his Golden Staff, he kept on retaliating.


    Yet, this was still not all that Fleet Warlord Elyon had to offer.


    Even as the eyes of the mechanic suit kept on glowing a blood-red and as the halberds and cusses caused havoc, the canonunchers continued with their normal jobs that they''ve been doing since as they unleashed salvo after salvo.


    The intensity of this battle was on a whole other level.


    Every other battlefield looked up to it.


    The oue of this war relied on the oue of this war.


    "Self-Created Ability Combo: Ultimate Defense & Abyss Kick!"


    While the Golden Staff of the Snow Monkey kept on unleashing attack after attack, causing incredible damage to the mechanic suit, the next moment a thick pitch-ck aura suddenly covered the mechanic suit.


    The pitch-ck aura was formed after the pair of halberds and cuss melted into a thick ck mass of liquified metal.


    This pitch-ck liquified metal formed a shield thatpletely withstood the barrage of all the rapid staff attacks for just a millisecond but this was enough.


    With all the attack blocked, the Snow Monkey was caught off-guard as the body of the mechanic suit bent the next moment even as its left leg raised up.


    "ABYSS KICK¡­!" Fleet Warlord Elyon roared.


    Electricity and maic energy crackled, then¡­


    BOOOMMMM¡­!!!


    The kick hit with the force of an apocalyptic magnum and the Snow Monkey could not withstand it as coughing blood, he flew off like a rubber ball.


    ''Noooo¡­!'' He growled in his mind.


    ''I can''t lose!''


    ''The Beast Coalition can''t fall here¡­, not now!''


    ''We can''t lose the war!''


    BAM!


    The Snow Monkey kicked at the air the next moment, fracturing his right leg as he brought his body to a forced stop in the process.


    His blood-red eyes narrowed even further as he looked at the gigantic mechanic suit that was already pursuing after him.


    "Self-Created Magic Ability: Ancient Staff- Heir of Sun Wukong!"


    "Forbidden Magic Ability: Cosmic Thrust!"


    The blood vessels of this Snow Monkey burst as blood poured out of all his orifices, all this blood turned into fuel for his body the next moment.


    Then, kicking his fractured leg at the air again, he elerated!


    WHOOM!


    He arrived before the bloated mechanic suit in an instant as gathering all the concentrated golden energy on his Golden Staff, he thrust forward.


    BOOOMMMMMM¡­!!!


    The mechanic suit''s middle sections caved in the next moment like it was just mmed by an apocalyptic sledgehammer as from the back of the mech suit, the golden energy burst out before traveling far into space outside.


    Fleet Warlord Elyon could not control his mechanic suit for a second as the unstable mechanic suit was flung through air in an uncontrolled manner.


    Inside his mechanic suit, this Fleet Warlord coughed blood.


    The Snow Monkey could not pursue immediately though since he also coughed blood as his face became pale from the exertion.


    After the mechanic suit regained its bnce, both Monsters looked at each other for a second before rushing at each other again.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Their incredible duel raged on.


    Both Monsters were evenly matched.


    No one dared to intervene, no one could.


    While the battle raged, the Beast King looked on. ''George¡­''

 Chapter 628 A well-planned war; all-out assault!

    Chapter 628 A well-nned war; all-out assault!


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The 1st Upper Beast Priest and Fleet Warlord Elyon kept on going at it.


    Everywhere around them turned into a disaster zone.


    While the battle raged, the Beast King looked on. ''George¡­''


    At this moment, this Beast King no longer knew how to react.


    His subordinates kept on roaring at him to join the evacuating forces.


    He knew that was the most rational decision to ensure the survival of the Beast Coalition but he simply couldn''t do it, that was not what he envisioned.


    This was not how he envisioned the end of his beast freedom journey.


    As he looked at the war around him, he felt his world rewind before him.


    He felt his world rewind back to that day, more than 3 years ago when he made his first appearance.


    That day that thework of the whole Minerva Star System was hijacked by the highly capable 5th Upper Beast Priest, the Bumblebee.


    The unforgettable day of the speech.


    He could remember his deep voice reverberating. "I am¡­," He paused for dramatic effect, causing billions of hearts to beat faster then.


    "I am Duhkha, the embodiment of Beast suffering¡­, the Beast King".


    Silence swept across an entire star system as they heard that as all eyes, both young, middle-aged, and old focused on this single beast.


    That day, they saw him for the first time.


    "My name, Duhkha means suffering, unhappiness¡­" He paused. "Pain!"


    "When I was a cub, I grew up in a beast reserve with my family".


    "We lived as tourist beasts, a life I didn''t enjoy but I could live with¡­" He paused again. "That was until our Demon Race owners thought we were no longer entertaining enough for their satisfaction".


    "The day that they thought that, my whole family died, except me".


    "I can remember his scrutinizing eyes going over my body like he was appraising amonmodity". The Demonic Lion smirked.


    "I can never forget his words¡­, this one seems talented, he''d surely do well in the beast arena, he may even fetch us some cash".


    "That day, my whole life changed, I was dumped in the beast arena".


    "I was thrown into a chaotic prison where traumatized beasts like me were indoctrinated into ughtering each other as brutally as possible". He smirked. "For what?"


    His voice lowered dangerously. "For the entertainment of the onlookers".


    "I killed 10 beasts in desperation, earning my owners 11,000 Gctic Credits until I was brutally mauled by a beast more powerful than I am".


    Remembering this, this Beast King felt rage bubble in his being even as his memories ovepped with the ongoing war.


    ''11,000 Gctic Credits¡­'' He repeated in his mind.


    The memory kept on reying; he continued his speech.


    "At the gate of death, I felt tired, angry, I felt frustrated".


    "I didn''t die though, hehe¡­" He grinned again. "Here I am".


    "An old dying Mandrill saved me with magic, I can still remember his dying words vividly like it was just yesterday".


    Remembering to here, he looked round this one more time.  Ancestor Mandrill¡­''


    ''This was supposed to be the perfect tribute to you, master''.


    The memory kept on reying in his head.


    "He told me¡­, this is the life of a beast".


    "You know what I felt when he died?" He smirked, then from a smirk it turned into a grin before finally turning into an angry frown.


    "I FELT ANGRY!" He rose up from his throne as power exploded!


    Billions of souls across the expansive Minerva Star System shook in shock as they watched, millions fainted.


    Heughed like a mad Lion. "That was when I knew it, I finally understood the world that I was born in but I did not sumb to it".


    "That day, I birthed my ambition to be the liberator".


    "I vowed to be the Beast King that will liberate beasts from this life".


    He red into the screen. "We''ve been nning for centuries, now we are ready, we are called the Beast Coalition".


    "All I want is the release of every beast in very".


    His eyes narrowed. "It''s not a request, it''s an order".


    He smirked again. "I know how stubborn the so-called sentient races can be, I have a package ready for you though".


    "In 2 minutes, it will start".


    "Nothing can stop it, only the birth of the Beast Empire can stop it".


    "The Minerva Star System is just the start, the Universe is my end goal, not even the Universal Civilizations can stop me, I shall liberate every single beast that is living in very!"


    "With my Beast Priests, I shall storm all sentient life with misery!"


    "I shall give you all a taste of your own medicine!"


    "Even in death, my gospel cannot be stopped!"


    "It will only be stronger and more widespread!" He grinned. "Duhkha is not a beast; it is a symbol".


    "You can kill a beast to eradicate a problem from the roots".


    He grinned. "But you can''t kill a symbol".


    He spread his wide powerful arms. "A symbol is immortal".


    "A symbol is forever".


    He inclined his head to look at something. "Your time is up".


    "Wee to the era of the Beast Coalition!"


    On that day, the Minerva Star System experienced a change.


    The terror of the Beast Coalition started!


    The Beast King remembered everything like it was just yesterday.


    But now, looking at his capital that was supposed to be the pinnacle of his achievements, he could not smile, sadness filled his heart.


    ''This is not how I saw it¡­'' He thought.


    ''This is not how I envisioned it¡­''


    He looked up as tears flowed down his eyes even as his energy cleaned it up before others could see it.


    He was the Beast King.


    He could not afford to let his subordinates see him weak.


    As he looked up, a thought filled his mind. ''A symbol¡­''


    ''What is truly a symbol?''


    ''A symbol is immortal¡­''


    ''A symbol is forever¡­''


    His weak eyes regained some light. ''I can''t afford to die today''.


    ''I should be the symbol that I always wanted''.


    He looked at this-sized battlefield. ''I must be the symbol''.


    Everywhere this Beast looked, he only saw the aggressive and frenzied all-out assault of the enemy allied forces led by their Cmity Grades.


    Right there in his pce before him, one of the battles raged intensely.


    "Self-Created Technique: Spartan Rage!"


    A now bloodied Elephant Priest faced his powerful opponents.


    "You shall not pass¡­!" This beast roared with conviction and determination even as he shed against the 2 powerful opponents trying to break in.


    By now, the shield already had numerous holes in it.


    The Scientist Priest, the Proboscis was now filled with terrible injuries as after giving his all to keep the shield intact, he was now close to being spentpletely.


    "Self-Created Ability: Psychic Infusion!"


    "Self-Created Ability: Nature Connection- Psychic Explosion!"


    "Self-Created Pugilist Ability: Drilling Spear!"


    BOOM!


    The 2 horrifyingly powerful Cmity Grades of the allied enemy force never let up their offensive once as they continued attacking like crazy.


    There was no more guaranty, the shield could shatter any moment.


    The Beast Priests were losing in this battlefront.


    Looking at both of them, the Beast King grimaced. ''Promos, Emagon¡­''


    He looked to the East again.


    "Self-Created Technique: Wisdom!"


    "Self-Created Technique: 10-seconds Hallucination!"


    "Self-Created Technique: Brain Surgery!"


    BZZZZ¡­!


    The incredibly powerful brain power and mind energy of the 2nd Upper Beast Priest, the Golden Langur wreaked havoc but only did little against his 3 opponents.


    The Ackermann State already shed with the Golden Langur and lost once so for this war; they came prepared to face him.


    The 3 Cmity Grades that were designated to fight the Golden Langur wore special designed helmets that granted their brains and mind full proof protection from the mysterious and extremely dangerous power of this Beast Priest.


    With these helmets, they were not able toe close to killing the Golden Langur but they did a good job in stalling and keeping him in one ce.


    The Golden Langur had no chances of winning in this battlefield with those helmets still intact, and he could not destroy them.


    This Upper Beast Priest was being suffocated.


    Looking at this battlefield, the Beast King instantly came to a conclusion.


    By the time that the Golden Langur could defeat these enemies, the war would already be over in other ces and the truly powerful enemies like the Fleet Warlord would be free to take care of him then.


    This Beast Priest''s face scrunched with worry. ''Saurgem¡­''


    He looked to the Northwest where the Bumblebee fought.


    Against the annoying Summoner and his army of Komodo Dragons, Bumblebee already sustained terrible injuries as he was going against his natural enemy.


    The Beast King''s face grew sadder the more he saw. ''Darkvale¡­''


    Then, he looked at the virtual projections.


    Led by Admiral Zhao, this was already set in mes totally as the lineup of Cmity Grades led by him kept the Destruction Priest in check.


    For the first time in centuries, this Doom Cow was bleeding.


    The situation didn''t look hopeful.


    The Beast King could no longer look sad, he felt resignation. ''Angenton¡­''


    He looked at another virtual projection.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The incredible duel between the Deer Demi-god and Chief Admiral Gregory continued intensely, there was no clear winner yet as they battled fiercely.


    While they shed, the Shelter Priest''s defense was already broken through as Cmity Grade warriors led their armies in to wreak havoc.


    The future of the Beast Coalition was not looking bright.


    By now, the Beast King was no longer sad, he only felt resignation.


    Thousands of thoughts went through his head and none of them looked bright, this was a well-nned war with no openings left by the enemies.


    The Beast Coalition waspletely outsmarted.


    ''We can''t win anymore¡­, at least the normal way''.


    He looked at all the destruction before him. ''Unless somehow, I am able to do it''.


    ''Unless I am able to be a symbol''.


    ''But¡­, how?'' He looked around.


    This was when he heard it.


    "I am the key to help you be the symbol that you always wanted".


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­..!"

 Chapter 629 Gaufrid [1]

    Chapter 629 Gaufrid [1]


    The territories of the Beast Empire were in mes.


    Apart from the major battlefields at those strategic locations, minor smaller battlefields filled the territory of this Empire as the warships of the allied enemy force went on a killing spree.


    They would only stop after their opponents either surrendered or were annihted, there would be no stop to the massacre outside these 2 oues.


    The Beast King saw it all and he felt only resignation.


    A thousand thoughts went through his mind and none of them looked bright as the precariousness of this situation settled in his head even deeper.


    ''I don''t know how they did it but it all went downhill the day that they knew so much about us''.


    ''Our advantage was always in our stealth and in us being in the dark''.


    ''I never expected them to know so much about us''.


    ''From the number of warships that were mobilized in this war, there is no doubt that they have a total understanding of our military force''.


    ''And from how the Beast Priests are being handled, it is clear that they also have detailed information about them since they are all being countered''.


    ''This is a well-nned war and assault''.


    This Beast King sighed. ''I see no chances of turning the tides''.


    ''Was it ElKing?''


    ''But why?'' This Beast was confused.


    ''His n is clearly to overthrow the rulership of the Minerva Star System underneath the nose of the Azure Pantheon''.


    ''I knew this all along but I felt it was a necessary risk''.


    ''The Beast Coalition is clearly his best bet to achieve his ns steathily''.


    ''When things are going so smoothly, why would he betray us now?''


    ''Or¡­, did he sell us out to the Nak and Ackermann State to ally with them instead ofpletely overthrowing them?''


    The eyes of this Beast King narrowed. ''That crazy man''.


    ''He''s capable of anything''.


    A thousand other thoughts went through his mind as he tried to analyze why and how this happened to no avail, then he finally settled on one thought.


    He raised his head and looked at the sky. ''Ghost¡­''


    ''Did he betray us?''


    ''¡­'' For seconds, this Beast just stood still with his head facing the sky.


    Rain started falling a few minutes ago as the war raged on.


    As he looked up, the rain wiped off his tears as he heard the screams of more young innocent beasts being brutally murdered by the attack of the invaders.


    While looking up, he was drawn into the memoryne.


    84 years ago¡­


    >Zhou & Sons Beast Arena<


    A young Gaufrid was ruthlessly thrown into the merciless beast arena.


    Gaufrid was the real name of the Beast King.


    Having just witnessed his whole family murdered before his eyes in cold blood just a few hours ago, this young Demonic Lion was still traumatized.


    "Hey, you!" The Beast tamer called.


    "You''re up next!"


    "You better go up there and put out a good performance before you die, some pretty wealthy kids paid a lot of money to see you entertain them".


    "Roar¡­!" Gaufridshed out at the insensitive Beast tamer.


    Whip!


    As a young Demonic Lion that was yet to mutate, Gaufrid was free prey to this Grade D Pugilist as he reacted on time,shing the whip at the Lion''s face.


    That was where Gaufrid got the scar that went across his face.


    That day, he was forced into the arena.


    His first opponent was a Bull, and he had to kill him.


    Gaufrid never wanted to fight but when the Bull threatened his life, he retaliated as he fought with his life on the line, giving his all to survive.


    He didn''t even know why he tried to survive after his whole family just died, perhaps it was stubbornness or anger, or perhaps it was just his instinct.


    In the end, he killed the Bull and secured his 1st victory.


    "Wow, that Lion is tough stock right there!"


    "John! I love his fighting style".


    "I''m willing to pay more, put him on the arena again". They demanded.


    John was the beast tamer, the Pugilist in charge of the beasts in the beast arena and after getting permission from his boss, the Lion entered the arena again as he was forced to fight his 2nd consecutive battle without resting to recover.


    ''I want to die¡­''


    ''I want to die¡­''


    ''Don''t resist¡­, just let him kill you¡­'' Gaufrid kept on saying to himself in his head but when the Red-feathered Hawk charged at him aggressively, he reacted instinctively again.


    Gaufrid didn''t know how or why he did it, his head was filled up and distracted, his thoughts were jumbled up.


    He was like a mentally disabled human at this moment forparison.


    But despite the messed-up mental state of this Demonic Lion, he managed to win his 2nd straight battle in the beast arena.


    More money was paid and he was forced into more battles.


    He killed 9 straight beasts on the arena just hours after his family were massacred. By now, Gaufrid already lost all meaning to life.


    His 10th straight battle in the arena though was against a Green-scaled Crocodile, a beast that already mutated once.


    In this battle, Gaufrid waspletely mauled.


    Horrifying injuries and gashes were torn across his body by the terrifying teeth of the Green-scaled Crocodile, he was dying.


    ''Yes!'' He was happy, he could finally die.


    This was what he wanted but somehow and for some unknown reason that he did not understand, he kept on resisting.


    Secondster.


    "No¡­!" He could not bring himself to die peacefully like he thought.


    He was scared, he felt frightened at the thought of death all of a sudden.


    At the gate of life and death, a red energy erupted around him as somehow, he managed to bite the head of the Crocodile off, ending his life.


    He fell unconscious after this battle due to his terrible injuries.


    As his mind faded, he smiled.


    ''Hopefully, I can finally die now¡­''


    ¡­


    Blink!


    After what felt like a long time, he woke up again.


    "Roar¡­!" He roared, ready to attack and kill as soon as he woke up.


    "Hey, calm down, I saved you". He heard a voice mutter.


    That voice was somehow soothing.


    It calmed Gaufrid down.


    Gaufrid looked around, this was when he noticed that he was stuck inside a cage alongside 2 other beasts. The one that spoke to him was an old Mandrill and he sat close to him with an illuminating smile on his name.


    He looked to the side to see the timid and isted Golden Langur.


    He didn''t seem to like talking much.


    "Wee to hell brother, what''s your name?"


    Gaufrid looked at this Mandrill, he hesitated before answering. "Gaufrid".


    Somehow, he felt that he could trust this beast or perhaps, it was just the fact that he was meeting a beast that was not about to kill him after meeting 10 of such aggressive beasts.


    The Mandrill smiled. "My name does not matter, you can call me anything you like, even Ancestor". Heughed.


    "That guy over there, his name is Saurgem".


    "He came here yesterday after losing his whole family to a Nak massacre, he''s not spoken to anyone apart from me since then".


    "The 2 of you can be friends". The Mandrill smiled.


    Guafrid looked at the clearly traumatized beast that hid at the corner.


    That was how he met his 2nd Upper Beast Priest, the Golden Langur.

 Chapter 630 Gaufrid [2]

    Chapter 630 Gaufrid [2]


    Gaufrid and Saurtem never spoke but they felt a connection to each other.


    Their stories were simr.


    Pushed by Ancestor who insisted that telling history could help ease pain, Gaufrid told his story to his 2 newpanions as Ancestor also told Saurtem''s story which made these 2 beasts resonate with each other.


    They never spoke once to each other but they felt closer than before.


    Somehow, staying around Ancestor eased their pain.


    This old Mandrill''s cheerful smile despite their terrible situation and fate brought some much-needed light into their lives that was plunged into darkness.


    It was already night in the Beast Arena.


    By now, Gaufrid felt better than he ever did the whole day after he lost his family. He also learned that Ancestor was the one who healed him.


    ording to Ancestor, he was a Grade D beast with a water affinity that was oriented towards healing. The beast tamer didn''t know.


    Ancestor saved Gaufrid or judging from the injuries that he sustained in his 10th arena duel; he should be dead by now already.


    That night, as the glow of the red moon illuminated them, Ancestor for the first time was no longer using a cheerful voice as he spoke again.


    The smile remained on his face but this time, it could not hide the pain.


    "The life of a beast¡­," He first muttered to himself.


    "Gaufrid, Saurtem¡­," Though he tried to hide it behind his smile like usual, he could not this time as tears welled up in his eyes. "This is the life of a beast".


    "Today marks my 10th year stuck in this Beast Arena".


    "¡­"


    "I''ve killed over a thousand brothers during this time".


    "Why?" This question seemed like he was rather throwing it at himself.


    "Just so I can survive". His voice hid deep pain and disappointment.


    "During these 10 years, I saw countless beastse and die in this beast arena, none of them was ever released no matter how many brothers they killed".


    "That was when it dawned on me".


    "Our lives are insignificant".


    "Our lives are worthless before them".


    "To those so-called sentient races, all we are is entertainment". As he said this, his voice wasced with deep sadness and hatred.


    "I always dreamt of the day that I would escape out of this beast arena, kill the beast tamer and finally embark on my dream".


    "Guafrid, Saurtem, do you know what my dream is?" He looked at them.


    They focused, already drawn into his words.


    "My dream is a world where beasts are no longer suffering".


    "A world where beasts are no longer being oppressed".


    "My dream is the liberation of all beasts".


    "Unfortunately, my dream is impossible without violence and the universe being cruel enough made me only able to heal people".


    "I am a Grade D Beast, the same grade with the beast tamer but I won''t evenst 3 seconds against him in battle before dying".


    "That is the hurtful fate that the universe gave me".


    "I could never do it so I embarked on a new goal of taking others in, building them to be the liberator that would liberate the beast race".


    "For years, I''ve been trying my best".


    "I managed to save some like you who already lost all will to live over the years and gave them motivation to live again".


    "My only motivation to live right now is the world of beast freedom".


    "A beast empire¡­, that is my only motivation".


    The Mandrill sighed. "Reality is cruel though".


    "We''re suffering does not mean the world will help us".


    "The world is a cruel one".


    "All the liberators that I took on my wing grew stronger andter tried to escape from the beast arena yet every single time, they were killed by the beast tamer". This Mandrillughed and only pain was felt from it.


    He looked at his 2panions in the cage. "If the both of you are willing, I want you both to be thest liberators that I take in".


    "¡­" None of them said a word.


    The Mandrill looked at another side. "After I discovered my goal, I promised myself that I won''tst more than 10 years inside here".


    "Today marks my 10 years of being stuck here".


    As he said these words, pain was felt from it.


    His eyes became red. "I don''t intend to go back on my words".


    He looked at the Demonic Lion. "Gaufrid, I watched all your battles in the arena, you have something special in you".


    "This is not even yourbat strength".


    "My spirit of liberation tells me that you have something even more special in you, something that none of my other liberators had".


    "This is why I want to gamble on you".


    "¡­"


    Throughout, Gaufrid never said a word.


    Ancestor''s presence may have eased his pain a bit but he could not get over it immediately. Afterall, it was not even a day since his family was massacred.


    Though he said nothing, he had to admit that his blood boiled.


    Ancestor''s story told him a bitter truth.


    ''I am not the first beast to face this cruel world nor shall I be thest''.


    ''Until someone bes brave enough to stop the cycle, it''ll go on''.


    That night, Gaufrid developed his hot-blooded nature and unreconcble hatred against the sentient races that was born from his trauma.


    Despite all this, he never replied to Ancestor.


    Ancestor did not seem to care though as he continued. "5 years ago, when I saw my time going and as my liberators kept on failing, I came up with a n".


    "I have a water affinity; my vitality is more than normal beasts".


    "I came up with a theory and worked towards it".


    "A year ago, I achieved my goal".


    "I was able to create an ability that will enable me to transfer all my energy, experience, and vitality into another beast".


    "The only penalty is that I would die 100% in the process".


    The 2 other beasts in this cage looked at him at the same time on hearing this, he continued. "I have been preparing this ability for today".


    "I have no intentions of living past today".


    "I have no intentions of fighting in the arena tomorrow".


    "Gaufrid¡­, I don''t know what your special talent is but I''m willing to bet on it. I will give you my vitality and my life".


    "Be the liberator that I could never be".


    "Hate the sentient races on my behalf".


    "Kill them for me".


    "Andstly, save all our brothers that are suffering".


    Bzzz!


    Gaufrid could not react, everything happened so fast.


    The next moment, white light poured into his body even as Ancestor became a dry husk. As the light of life left his eyes, Ancestor said hisst words.


    "They know when a beast dies".


    "The security in the cage isx in the night".


    "2 guards wille to check on the beast that died".


    "That is your best chance to escape".


    "Check under my sitting spot, hidden in it is the map of the beast arena".


    And Ancestor gave up the ghost.


    "¡­!" Gaufrid and Saurtem were stunned.


    Gaufrid felt strange as the foreign energy moved in his body but he did not pay attention to it, he only paid attention to Ancestor as the words that this beast said kept on reverberating in his head.


    ''This is the life of a beast¡­,'' He heard Ancestor''s voice in his head.


    Click!


    The door to the cage opened the next moment as 2 Nak warriors entered.


    Gaufrid looked at Saurtem once before pouncing at them.


    The 2 guards were torn to bits.


    That night, they kickstarted their escape but just 10 minutester, the beast tamer caught them.


    "Hehe," He chuckled. "The guts to try escaping from my hell".


    "You guys must think you''re the demons of hell, huh?"


    "You''re my entertainment!" He roared.


    "How dare you try to escape?!"


    "Now, let me show you who the true king of hell is".


    John started by torturing Saurtem.


    Immobilized, as he witnessed this, Gaufrid felt rage bubbling in his mind. ''I hate Naks!'' He growled hatefully in his mind.


    ''I hate Ackermanns!''


    ''I hate Humans!''


    Amid his rage, he heard it again.


    ''This is the life of a beast¡­,'' He heard ancestor''s voice again.


    And this was what did it as Gaufrid''s eyes glowed red in immense rage the next moment as he red at all the Nak warriors present.


    "Supreme Talent: Beast- The Greatest Showman!"


    BZZZ!


    As a mysterious golden energy erupted, everyone fainted except the red-eyed raging Gaufrid and a shocked and traumatized Saurtem.


    Gaufrid grabbed Saurtem and charged out of the beast arena.


    That night kickstarted the dream of the Beast Coalition.

 Chapter 631 Gaufrid [3]

    Chapter 631 Gaufrid [3]


    2 years after the events of the beast arena, in one of the more rurals in the territory of the Nak State.


    Hope Town¡­


    "Supreme Talent: Mental Maniption!"


    "Supreme Talent: Wisdom!"


    Bzzz!


    "Supreme Talent: Beast- The Greatest Showman!"


    Bzzz!


    2 energies, one golden and filled with pure wisdom while the other as white as the stage of a performance given by the greatest showman to walk the universe erupted and covered this full town.


    Gaufrid and Saurtem were now Grade C Beasts.


    The mayor of this town was a Grade D+ Pugilist.


    They targeted a town with a Pugilist for a reason, this was because these absolutely fierce fighters had the weakness of having the weakest minds among the warriors of all the super sses.


    No resistance was offered, Gaufrid and Saurtem took over this town right under the nose of the impossibly powerful Nak State.


    This became the first base of the Beast Coalition.


    ¡­


    Gaufrid and Saurtem after escaping from the beast arena wandered across the surface of the where they found themselves, struggling to make ends meet while avoiding the poachers who caught beasts for leisure purposes.


    The 2 of them could not do it alone, just 3 months after they escaped, they almost got caught again by a poaching team and that was where they met him.


    Ghost, the shapeshifting Reptile.


    This beast shapeshifted into a Nak warrior and pretended to be part of this poaching team for years, he was the one who saved Gaufrid and Saurtem.


    Retaliating, they ended up annihting the whole poaching team.


    Ghost lived his daily life like a Nak mercenary, that was his 2nd identity since living as a beast was so dangerous. He was well-known and he had a house.


    On going to his house, Ghost looked at both beasts. "You can only stay at my house for 2 days, any more than that is already risky for me".


    "I won''t jeopardize my identity just to pamper the 2 of you".


    Gaufrid reacted like he didn''t hear as he looked at this beast with bright shining eyes. "You''re powerful, join us!"


    "Huh?" Ghost looked at them, confused.


    Gaufrid did not hold back, he told him everything.


    "My life goal is to end all the beast suffering".


    "My goal is to liberate every beast in suffering".


    "I want to build a Beast Empire".


    "I want to create a beast organization to oppose the sentient races".


    "¡­" For almost a minute, Ghost did not reply and when he did, he scoffed.


    "In 2 days, leave and do something worthwhile with your lives before death ims you, you don''t have what it takes to pull that off".


    "In fact, I''m not harboring you anymore, leave my house!"


    Ghost pursued them but they reunited again in an incident 3 monthster when 2 beasts that were already building a reputation for themselves attacked a beast arena, killing everyone and rescuing all the beasts there.


    The Nak authorities came, capturing a lot of the beasts but just when the 2 culprits were about to be caught, an unknown Nak warrior came in to save them.


    The unknown Nak warrior was Ghost.


    "Fools!" He berated them after he took them back to his house.


    "Even if you have good intentions, that''s now how to go about it".


    "Did you 2 fools even n at all?"


    "All you did was ce those brothers in even more suffering!"


    "If you want to be a savior, then learn to n!"


    "Then teach me how to n!" Gaufrid red at him.


    ".."


    Ghost gritted his teeth. "Leave!" He growled.


    2 monthster, another beast incident happened and this was the straw that broke the camel. "I can''t leave the fate of beast liberation in your hands".


    "The both of you will screw it up and end up saving nothing".


    "I shall teach the both of you how to make ns".


    "Don''t expect much from me though. Even with me, I don''t have hopes as high as yours, we''ll only be able to save a few hundred beasts before being captured by the Nak Navy and being executed as an example to others".


    "Thank you, master!" Gaufrid was ecstatic.


    Ghost''s nning started that day and 6 monthster, after a sessfulrge-scale beast arena raid, the hidden terrorist organization, then known as the Beast Freedom Fighters officially became a thing.


    Despite Gaufrid''s insistence on him to be the leader, Ghost refused, making Gaufrid the leader.


    As for himself, he became the first Beast Priest of the Beast Freedom Fighters.


    He named himself the Espionage Priest.


    Saurtem was the 2nd Beast Priest, the Wisdom Priest as he took on the footsteps of Ghost, be a master nner and deceiver in their almost impossible quest of Beast freedom.


    It was a year after this that they took Hope Town.


    From this town, the activities of the Beast Freedom Fighters went on in full.


    ¡­


    20 yearster, after bing a Grade B Beast even as the Beast Coalition slowly grew in the dark, Ghost finally decided to fulfill his most important duty as the Espionage Priest as he infiltrated into the Nak Navy.


    Hisst words?


    "I''m living the dream of beast freedom in your hands Gaufrid".


    "Pray for me".


    "If I seed, one day, no matter how long, I''ll contact you again".


    "Perhaps, one day we''ll be able to sit down leisurely in the beast empire of our dreams and drink some champagne".


    The pressure rested on Gaufrid and Saurtem to keep on doing the deed in Ghost''s absence but they rose to the challenge, keeping the Beast Coalition afloat.


    A yearter, Gaufrid became a Grade B beast.


    6 monthster, Saurtem also became a Grade B beast.


    ¡­


    10 years after Hope Town, news of an anomaly, an immensely powerful mindless beast that escaped from a beast arena, wreaking havoc everywhere he went was reported.


    The Beast Coalition went into action.


    "Rararara¡­!" The gigantic Cow roared as he caused destruction everywhere.


    Singlehandedly, Angenton was fighting against a battalion of local Nak policemen and he had the upper hand as he caused so much destruction.


    Then, he was just a normal mutated beast cow.


    Angenton was immensely powerful, a total berserker of a beast but against the Nak Navy in their territory, he stood no chance being so reckless.


    Here, again, Gaufrid was forced to use his Supreme Talent.


    Amplifying the emotions of all the policemen to a vtile level, Saurdem was able to pull them into an illusion as they dragged the raging Angenton away before he could cause moremotion.


    They tried to recruit him but Angenton was a blockhead.


    In the end, Saurdem found the way to navigate into his mind.


    "If you join us, you''ll find it easier to get your revenge".


    "With us, you''ll get to kill even more Nak warriors than you ever dreamed of".


    "Our ultimate goal is to end the Nak State".


    "Really?!" Angenton looked at them.


    "Umm, yeah¡­," Gaufrid nodded.


    "Good". Angenton nodded, grinning like a mad beast. "They killed my family; I won''t rest until I kill them all!"


    That day, they got the strongestbatant of the Beast Coalition for a long time, Angenton whoter became the 3rd Upper Beast Priest, the Doom Cow.


    ¡­


    20 yearster, the growth of the Beast Coalition was meagre, mostly because of their motto of always operating from the dark as the Nak Navy never found it important to investigate into them more due to their low-key operation.


    But that day, something pivotal happened.


    On that fateful Saturday, the notorious mercenary organization, the Snow Clover was beaten by the forces of the Nak Navy as its mercenarymander fled to this after losing all his forces and subordinates.


    The leader of the Snow Clover mercenaries was a Cmity Grade Beast, the Snow Monkey who was called the Golden Staff Master.


    That day, Gaufrid met George for the first time.


    And that same day, the Espionage Priest moved for the first time as through his hidden influence in the Nak Navy, Gaufrid was able to rescue and hide the injured Snow Monkey in the territory of the Beast Coalition, Coco City.


    From Hope Town, the Beast Coalition already secretly took over control of a whole city and this was what enabled them to hide the beast.


    Though he badly wanted to do it, Gaufrid could not talk to Ghost as he went incognito again immediately after helping in the rescue.


    George took 3 months to recover from his serious injuries.


    During these 3 months, George learned everything about the Beast Coalition. His mercenary group did something simr to Gaufrid''s goal as they went from to, randomly rescuing beasts from very.


    This was why he bought into Gaufrid''s goal immediately.


    Originally, after losing his mercenary group and all his subordinates, George gave up on living but the Beast Coalition gave him a new goal.


    A yearter, George took the Beast Coalition out of its home.


    They started moving from to across Nak and Ackermann State rescuing beasts in a hidden manner and it was during this time across a period of 15 years that they met Darkvale and Damien.


    Darkvale whoter became the 5th Upper Beast Priest was a beast who became notorious as a junk collector and blueprint thief.


    As for Damien, they met him in Ackermann State. As a Grade B beast then, he was captured and bought by a wealthy Ackermann politician to act as a pet.


    The Blue Coalition intervened and rescued him and out of gratitude and hatred, he pledged his life to the cause.


    This was how the 5 Upper Beast Priests of the Beast Coalition was born.


    That day, George said something. "We''ve felt pain for too long".


    "It''s time we heal our wounds and show them a bit of that pain".


    "Let''s make the Nak and Ackermann State know fear".


    "Let''s show them what pain feels like".

 Chapter 632 Gaufrid [4]

    Chapter 632 Gaufrid [4]


    250 yearster¡­


    That was how long the Beast Coalition disappeared from the already dim radar of the Nak and Ackermann State that kept a tab on them before.


    During all this time, they werepletely forgotten.


    Everyone forgot about that small-time terrorist organization that kept on causing trouble from ce to ce, a lot of other things took the attention.


    Unknown to them, this was the period of growth of the Beast Coalition.


    Locking themselves away from the world, they built themselves.


    In istion, they worked fervently on their goal.


    By now, all 5 of the Upper Beast Priests and Gaufrid himself, now known as the Beast King had been Cmity Grades for over a century already.


    Gaufrid''s charisma for leadership like an undaunted showman that Ancestor recognized centuries ago already blossomed by now as it led him to create a behemoth terrorist organization built on the goal of freedom fighting.


    The Beast Coalition was no longer that juvenile terrorist group of before.


    Only Cmity Grade Beasts were eligible to be Beast Priests now and they had 12 of these beasts including the Upper Beast Priests.


    The Beast Coalition was no longer an organization that the Nak State could toy with and it was during this time that they attracted attention from far away.


    Floating in space on their base, the back of the Shelter Priest, they weed an uninvited guest that brought this terrorist organization to a standstill.


    Bzzz!


    It was a humanoid existence in a red robe thatpletely hide his identity.


    The only thing visible about him was the ck staff that he held.


    Feeling the terrifying elemental power emanating from this ck staff which was clearly something he did deliberately, all the Beast Priests felt intimidated.


    They were Cmity Grades like this unknown guest but this guy was on a whole other level of power, even higher than George.


    They were not scared though, they had 12 Cmity Grades on their side.


    Besides, George felt that he could fight this powerful uninvited guest for some time before being defeated.


    George whispered something into Gaufrid''s ear a short timeter.


    The next moment, the Beast Priest stood at the front of the group confronting this uninvited guest. "I know who you are, Red Deacon".


    They could not see it but they knew he grinned from inside that robe on hearing that as he looked at them. "That makes things easier".


    "ElKing is a King who cares for his subjects and allies".


    "The King sent me on an errand to present you with 2 options, to be a subject or to be an ally".


    "Is there a 3rd option?" Saurdem, the Wisdom Priest asked.


    "¡­" The Red Deacon did not answer that.


    "If you be the King''s subject, you will automatically be his weapon of war here in the Minerva Star System".


    "You will receive full support from the ElKing Pirates".


    "Warriors will be sent to your base to aid you to aplish your goals, war resources like warships and weapons will be sent to your base and replenished, with nothing else but loyalty asked in return".


    "If you refuse the 1st option and be the King''s ally, you will receive a list of the objectives that the King wants".


    "In exchange for warships and war weapons, including detailed information about the Nak and Ackermann States that are normally not avable to the public, you will be tasked to fulfill the objectives written in the list".


    For a few seconds, Gaufrid was silent as he rapidlymunicated with his Beast Priests through their spirit sense and they came to a conclusion.


    Gaufrid looked up at this Red Deacon. "Is there no 3rd option?"


    "¡­" The Red Deacon only directed an invisible eerie smile at him.


    Gaufrid nodded. "I understand".


    The conclusion of the Beast Priests was simple. Originally, they wanted to take it slow by using the Espionage Priest who was a Beast Priest that most in this terrorist organization did not know of to slowly infiltrate into Nak State.


    But with ElKing''s offer, they could afford to take things at a faster pace.


    Gaufrid looked at the Red Deacon. "I ept the 2nd offer".


    "Good". The Red Deacon nodded.


    "Give us an objective to fulfill, we already have a list of demands that we want". Gaufrid said as Darkvale walked forward and raised up a list.


    It was the list of the ultimate technology devices that he needed to infiltrate into the quantumworks of the full Minerva Star System.


    The Red Deacon smirked under the hood of the robe.


    "This is ElKing''s first objective".


    2 monthster, the speech of the Beast King, announcing the existence of the Beast Coalition to the whole Minerva Star System happened.


    This announcement was followed by an aggressive approach opposed to the previous passive approach of the Beast Coalition to their dealings.


    With the Shelter Priest as the center of the Beast Coalition military, raid after raids were started in enemy space as tens of thousands of beasts were being rescued, a figure that rose into hundreds of thousands in just a few weeks.


    Watching the territories of the Nak and Ackermann State burn even as the victims screamed till death, Gaufrid remained stone-hearted.


    George''s words yed through his head and were his only melody.


    ''We''ve felt pain for too long''.


    ''It''s time we heal our wounds and show them a bit of that pain''.


    ''Let''s make the Nak and Ackermann State know fear''.


    ''Let''s show them what pain feels like''.


    After every sessful rescue session, Gaufrid felt on top of the world. He truly was the liberator that the heavens sent to liberate the beasts from very.


    A year after the announcement, secretly, the Beast Empire was created.


    That day, after all the celebration, Gaufrid locked himself in a cage-like room with Saurdem as they looked at the corner where a familiar figure once sat.


    They relieved the old days of very and when their worlds felt so dark.


    They tortured themselves with this to not let their aplishments get to their heads, they wanted to stay grounded in reality.


    Tears flowed down Gaufrid''s eyes. "Ancestor, I did it¡­"


    "I fulfilled your dream".


    "I achieved our goal".


    "The Beast Empire is now a thing".


    With tears running down his bestial eyes, he vowed. "Today, I vow in your presence that I won''t stop here. The Beast Empire is just the start, I will be a symbol that won''t stop until every beast in very is liberated".


    Fast-forward 2 years, the decisive battle of the Beast Empire against the 2 ruling States of the Minerva Star System already started.


    Gaufrid was at a crossroads.


    ''I worked so hard¡­'' This beast thought.


    ''I got so far¡­''


    ''But in the end, it doesn''t matter?''


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    He looked at the raging battle around him, at the young beasts dying every second, at the Beast Priestsying their lives down for the cause.


    ''Ghost¡­, did he betray us?!''


    This was when all the memories of how they started floated through his head and instantly, Gaufrid shut it all out. "Ghost did not betray us!"


    After saying this out loud, for seconds right there at the heat of this battlefield, this Beast just stood still with his head facing the sky.


    Rain started falling a few minutes ago as the war raged on.


    ''We can''t win anymore¡­,'' He concluded.


    ''At least not the normal way''.


    He looked at all the destruction and death before him. ''Unless somehow, I am able to do it''.


    ''Unless I am able to be a symbol''.


    ''The symbol that Ancestor always believed I could be''.


    ''But¡­, how?'' He looked around.


    This was when he heard it.


    "I am the key to help you be the symbol that you always wanted".


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­..!"


    Gaufrid was shocked. "Who?!"

 Chapter 633 The masterplan [1]

    Chapter 633 The mastern [1]


    "I am the key to help you be the symbol that you always wanted".


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­..!"


    Gaufrid was shocked. "Who?"


    Bzzz!


    He finally appeared.


    Gaufrid''s eyes widened into saucers as he stared at the existence that just appeared before him. ''A human?!''


    ''How?!''


    ''How did he cross the shield?''


    "My name is Legs Baron". He spoke. "I''ve been here since.


    Gaufrid''s eyes widened even further. ''Since?!''


    "Yes," The human replied like he could read his thoughts. "I have been here even before the invasion force arrived in Ancestor Mandrill".


    "¡­!" A lot of thoughts went through the mind of the Beast King.


    The situation of this battle already messed up his state of mind which was the catalyst that pushed him into going back into the memoryne in the first ce.


    It was the stress of the situation that made him doubt the integrity of his Beast Priests for the first time since the inception of the Beast Coalition.


    At this moment, he was not in his right state of mind and seeing this human, the first thing that entered his mind was to kill him immediately.


    He did not care to know how the human was able to infiltrate here, what mattered was that for him to do so, he was a threat to beast freedom.


    Another thing that he noticed was that all the beast guards around him did not notice the intruder at this moment.


    This human was only visible to him and it freaked him out even more.


    BZZZ!


    The energy of this Beast King barely erupted when it quenched, it quenched because of the next words that came out of the mouth of the human.


    "Admiral Nathan¡­"


    "¡­!" Gaufrid froze in shock as he stared at this human.


    "¡­he is the spy of the Beast Coalition".


    "¡­!" Gaufrid''s eyes widened into saucers.


    ''Admiral Nathan¡­, that''s Ghost¡­!'' This Beast was losing it!


    ''Was his cover blown?''


    ''Has he been caught?!''


    ''Did him being caughtpromise us?''


    ''Is Ghost still alive?!'' Panic started seeping in and this was when the human spoke again, it was like he was a robot timing his moments to perfection.


    "He is still alive".


    "He bid his time because he understood that with me out there, you have no chance of making aeback against the allied forces of your enemies".


    "With me here now though, this is what he has been waiting for".


    "If I am not wrong, Admiral Nathan will call you soon".


    "He will tell you to kill me since that''s the only way for the Beast Coalition to have any hopes of aeback if there is still a chance".


    Ring! Ring! Ring!


    At this moment, Gaufrid''s gctic ess phone rang.


    He looked at it and his eyes widened even further.


    [Iing call from the Unknown!]


    "¡­!" He turned his head to look at the human with even more shocked eyes at this moment, a ton of thoughts went through his mind again.


    The Unknown was Ghost''s codename and it was only known by 3 people in the Beast Coalition, him, Saurtem, and George.


    "Take it, don''t keep him waiting". The human smiled.


    For the first time in a long time, Gaufrid''s hands shook, he no longer felt safe.


    He felt exposed and vulnerable at this moment as he looked into the gctic ess phone.


    He picked the call.


    Click!


    "Gaufrid, he is the true enemy!"


    "Kill him, he is a seer!"


    "He''s the enemy at the center of all this suffering!"


    "He told the enemies of all our ns, he knows everything about us, he was the one who worked the way for the invasion, everything came through him!"


    "Kill him now!"


    "He knows everything!"


    "If you kill him, with my help, we stand a chance of aeback!"


    Gaufrid just stared at the face of Admiral Nathan on the phone before inclining his head to look at the smiling human who looked back at his eyes.


    "It cannot be so simple". This Beast King grimaced.


    "No one smiles at the face of death".


    "Yes," The human nodded. "This is just a doppelganger".


    He looked into the eyes of the Beast King. "Gaufrid".


    "¡­!"


    Again, he was shocked, this human just called his name!


    How?!


    "I am the key to help you fulfill your dream".


    "I came here to make you achieve your dream and be the symbol that you always wanted to be".


    Thoughts rapidly flowed through the head of this beast.


    He looked at the human. "How?"


    Legs smirked.


    His mastern was finally about to enter the centerstage.


    ¡­


    3 days before the war¡­


    Inside the underground bunker for the nning of the war, the lineup here was powerful as Fleet Warlord Elyon, President Dunk, Admiral Zhao, and Chief Admiral Gregory all stood before the unmatched seer.


    They just told him about the assault n made for the war.


    Legs faced them with a serious look on his face.


    "I know you don''t just want to win the war against the Beast Coalition, you want to win the war with as few casualties as possible and I have a n for it".


    They silently looked at him, waiting for him to exin.


    "I have to admit, your assault n was meticulous".


    "It ensures no survival route for the Beast Coalition but is that truly the perfect oue?"


    "They''re a powerful force and you''ll need sacrifices to annihte them despite the incredible advantage that I presented to you".


    "Besides, it doesn''t matter if you want to believe it or not, perhaps he also doesn''t know it yet but the Beast King already became a symbol".


    "He was able to achieve something that no other beast was able to achieve throughout history, he is the trailzer already to beast freedom".


    "Across the universe and most especially the Minerva Star System, countless beasts if not everyone of them already see him as a role model¡­, a symbol".


    "If we annihte them today, the Beast King wins".


    "It is 100% guaranteed that in a century, another Beast King will rise to continue his legacy, that is the symbol that he aimed to be from the very beginning but he doesn''t know yet".


    "If another Beast Coalition rises in the future, your victory in a few days will not beplete, leading to more losses in total for you".


    "And over time, the problem will only increase".


    "To achieve aplete victory, I have the perfect n".


    Legs smirked as he looked at them. "I told you about the spy already".


    "He is yet to act because he recognizes that I am the key to your sess. The only thing that will prompt him to act is me and we can take advantage of it".


    "That is why I want toe to an agreement with you today".


    "I want to take the Beast Priests of the Beast Coalition under my banner".


    "¡­!"


    It took 30 seconds before Chief Admiral Gregory was able to react.


    "Outrageous!"


    "The audacity!" This warrior''s Cmity grade energy erupted.


    Throughout, Legs had a gentle smile on his face.


    "Exin". President Dunk demanded.


    "There is actually another prophecy that I saw that I''m yet to tell all of you," He looked them in the eye. "I know the secret backer of the Beast Coalition".


    "His name is ElKing".


    "¡­!" The eyes of everyone present here almost burst out of their sockets.


    "The Element Emperor?!"


    "The King of all Elementalists?!"


    Legs smirked. "Yes".


    "He wants to turn the Minerva Star System into his secret territory right under the noses of the Azure Pantheon".


    "That is why he funds the Beast Coalition".


    "The beasts were never the evil ones, desperation pushed them to evil".


    "All they want is their freedom, ElKing is the motivator behind their violent and ruthless massacres".


    "This does not excuse the mistakes of the Beast King though".


    "This is why I want to step in".


    "Let me execute the Beast King".


    "¡­" They just looked at him.


    "I''m pretty confident that I''ll be able to convince him to be the martyr to ensure that his dream of a Beast Empire continues even after his death, making him the symbol he always wanted to be".


    "In exchange, let me take all the Beast Priests in".


    Before Chief Admiral Gregory could protest, Legs raised a finger. "First, the Beast Priests will never agree to work under you, the hatred is already too deep to be reconciled".


    "Second, they will ept me because at the end of my n, despite executing the Beast King, I will be the savior of the Beast Empire".


    "I would have helped him achieved his ultimate dream".


    "All you need to do?" He looked at them. "Give a small part of your territory to the Beast Empire to make them an official thing".


    "At the end of it all, the Beast King will be dead".


    "All the Beast Priests will be under my banner, the terrorism of the Beast Coalition will be history, the dream of the Beast King will be aplished, and you will win the war with as few casualties as possible".


    "To me, this is win-win for everyone". Legs spread his hands.


    "Make your decision".


    "Nonsense!" Chief Admiral Gregory roared. "You''ll be the one benefiting the most from this deal, besides, how can we trust you with so many powerful Cmity Grade Beasts?"


    "And how do you think to control Cmity Grades as a Grade B+ Super?"


    Legs ignored the Chief Admiral, he only looked at President Dunk and Fleet Warlord Elyon. "Before you forget, yourpensation was never enough, my seer powers are the only reason that you stand a chance in this war".


    "Let this be my final payment for my contributions to this war".


    "Make your decision".


    "¡­" Both leaders looked at him.

    "Gaufrid, he is the true enemy!"


    "Kill him, he is a seer!"


    "He''s at the center of all this suffering!"


    "He told the enemies of all our ns, he knows everything about us, he was the one who worked the way for the invasion, everything came through him!"


    "Kill him now!"


    "If you kill him, with my help, we stand a chance of aeback!"


    Gaufrid just stared at the face of Admiral Nathan on the phone before inclining his head to look at the smiling human who looked back at his eyes.


    "It cannot be so simple". This Beast King grimaced.


    "No one smiles at the face of death".


    "Yes," The human nodded. "This is just a doppelganger".


    He looked into the eyes of the Beast King. "Gaufrid".


    "¡­!"


    Again, he was shocked, this human knew his name!


    How?!


    "I am the key to help you fulfill your dream".


    "I came here to make you achieve your dream and be the symbol that you always wanted to be".


    "¡­!" Thoughts rapidly flowed through the head of this beast.


    He looked at the human. "How?"


    Legs smirked on hearing that question, then he turned his back to the leader of the Beast Coalition without any fear of his life.


    He looked at the battlefield outside.


    As he looked outside, through the fluctuations of mana in the air, he could tell that Admiral Nathan was already rapidlymunicating with the Beast King but he no longer cared since he now held the initiative.


    The ongoing war screamed doom as the fate of the Beast Coalition.


    Legs looked at the battle between the 1st Upper Beast Priest and Fleet Warlord Elyon, it was still a draw. "Just like a foresaw¡­"


    He looked at the battle involving all the Beast Priests.


    None of them was looking bright in the favor of the Beast Coalition.


    At this moment, Legs had a shback to a memory from his previous life. After the conclusion of the Beast Coalition storyline, the yers received a dungeon crystal through which they could y through the Beast King''s story.


    Through that dungeon crystal, he knew everything about the Beast King.


    "Gaufrid, your dream was always freedom".


    The Beast King grimaced on hearing this.


    "All you wanted was the liberation of every beast in very¡­"


    "You wanted a world where beasts no longer went through what you want through as a Lion cub¡­"


    "You created the Beast Empire to promote a world where beasts are no longer being oppressed, where beasts are no longer existences that are seen as less significant than dirt in society".


    "Like you, all Ancestor wanted was a world of beast freedom¡­"


    Now, this touched a sensitive spot in a certain beast''s heart.


    Gaufrid shuddered as he looked at this human. "How do you know him?"


    Legs did not turn back, his voice lowered as he spoke.


    "I know everything¡­"


    This sentence rang repeatedly in the head of the Beast King.


    "I am a seer". Legs continued.


    "I''ve seen the suffering of the beasts and I sympathized with them".


    "At the same time, I also saw the suffering of the Nak and Ackermann citizens as your terrorist organization wreaked havoc across their territories".


    "I saw youy waste to entires".


    "I saw the Shelter Priest chew throughs like biscuit".


    Legs finally turned to look the Beast King in the eye. "In the quest to beast freedom, was all this brutality worth it?"


    "Was all the massacre worth it?"


    He paused to let the previous questions sink into the head of the beast. "Was all the bloodshed worth it?"


    At this moment, Gaufrid already lost his own will as he became drawn inpletely by this human. His words already grabbed a hold of his heart.


    Even Admiral Nathan becamepletely silent as the call was still connected, he witnessed everything as Legs flexed his seer capabilities.


    "Was it worth it?" Legs asked again.


    "No¡­," Gaufrid whispered, feeling deted all of a sudden.


    This Demonic Lion clenched his fists. "My goal was a Beast Empire where beasts live in peace and harmony with each other, I never envisioned this".


    "I never wanted to ze through such a blood-tainted path".


    "But circumstances forced me". His nails dug into his skin, drawing blood even as tears flowed down this beast''s eyes again.


    The situation of this war already wreaked at his nerves and belief for so long, breaking down his mental defense one step at a time and Legs'' intervention at this moment broke the dam, Gaufrid was nowpletely vulnerable.


    At this moment, he already pulled off that mask of the Beast King.


    He was now that young Demonic Lion that lost his whole family to humans again, that traumatized Lion that was in dire need of help and direction.


    He was now that young Demonic Lion of 300 years ago, again.


    Then, Ancestor helped him.


    But now, there was no Ancestor.


    In Ancestor''s absence, it was the most unlikely existence who stood in the gap to make up for it.


    A human, Legs Baron.


    "The past can''t be altered, but we can change the future," Legs turned his back to this beast again as he looked into the distance.


    "I orchestrated this war".


    "Like you and I know, you already came to the conclusion that your forces have no chances of turning the tides and winning".


    "If I wanted, I can simply stay at the sidelines until the Beast Coalition and the Beast Empire bes history but no¡­," He paused as if to let that sink into his head. "I also sympathize with beasts".


    Legs ced both of his hands behind his back.


    "I was able toe to a peaceful resolution with the leaders of the Nak and Ackermann State, a peaceful resolution that can only be possible with sacrifices". Again, he turned and looked the Beast King in the eye.


    "Gaufrid, the only way to ensure yours and Ancestor''s dream is me".


    "The only way for the Beast Empire to survive is me".


    Legs'' eyes turned cold, showing his resolution and another facet of who he was. "I am a warrior!"


    "I believe in power and sending messages through wars!"


    "I believe in the ancient ritual of battle!"


    "But¡­, what I don''t believe in is bullying the weak and giving weak men the power to oppress other people just because they are of another race, a so-called high race".


    "Beasts of the Minerva Star System are as much of a sentient race as all the other races, this is what I believe".


    "Despite this, I believe in wiping the Beast Coalition, the terrorist organization from existence, not the Beast Empire".


    "If you want to save the Beast Empire, I am the key".


    His eyes gleamed. "Be a martyr".


    "¡­!"


    This word dropped like a bomb.


    Admiral Nathan was about to roar from the call but Legs muted him.


    "Start another speech that will be broadcasted across the Minerva Star System, just like your speech 3 years ago".


    "Tell the world about what you suffered growing up as a beast".


    "Tell them your story and tell them your desire to change it".


    "In this race called life, no one is superior".


    "All those innocent Naks and Ackermann civilians did not deserve to die, neither does all the innocent young beasts deserve to die today".


    "At the same time, the beast race deserves freedom, not very".


    "Tell the world of your desire to be a martyr to bring peace".


    "Be the symbol that you always wanted to be".


    "The symbol of a brand-new age for all beasts".


    "I already came to an agreement with the leaders of the Beast Coalition, I am a warrior¡­, you have my word".


    "Once the war is won, the Beast Empire will receive a territory for itself to thrive and personally, I will make sure beast very is no longer a thing in the territories of the Nak and Ackermann State".


    "Admiral Nathan should confirm if I am capable of this or not".


    "In exchange, I need your Beast Priests".


    "I have goals of my own that I need to achieve and I need their power, we can work for each other".


    "They help me achieve my goals and in return, I keep on helping them in their goal to liberate all beasts across the universe".


    Legs looked Gaufrid in the eye. "The ball is on your court".


    "It is up to you to be the symbol of peace or the symbol of violence".


    "Make your decision".

 Chapter 635 Ghost

    Chapter 635 Ghost


    ''Don''t do it!'' Ghost screamed in his head.


    ''Don''t do it!'' He badly wanted to scream this out.


    ''Don''t do it!'' He really wanted to.


    ''Don''t be a martyr!'' The Espionage Priest of the Beast Coalition wanted to yell this at the Beast King but he could not bring himself to do it.


    At this moment, Legs already unmuted the gcticmunication device. If he wanted to yell, he could but at this moment, he couldn''t.


    Through the connection, Ghost just looked at the feared Demonic Lion.


    He looked at the notorious leader of the Beast Coalition.


    He looked at the imposing figure of the Beast King.


    ''Don''t do it!'' It reverberated in his mind but he said something else.


    "You''ve grown". The words came out of his mouth without him thinking about it as for the first time in minutes, Gaufrid looked at him again.


    Looking at the gctic ess phone, Gaufrid saw tears flowing.


    Ghost was caught with tears; this was a first to Gaufrid!


    He was shocked, but this sight only made Gaufrid smile.


    Seeing his smile, Ghost bit his lips as he stared at him.


    His lips quivered; his emotions were unstable.


    As he stared at him, Gaufrid seemed to be smaller before him as time seemed to rewind right there before him to 250 years ago when the Beast Coalition was still in its inception stage.


    When the young, hot-blooded Gaufrid was still running amok.


    When he still had the identity of the Nak mercenary.


    He still remembered it vividly like it was yesterday. He could still feel himself going through the emotional battle of his mind on seeing the 2 young beasts heroically fighting against the Nak poachers.


    His decision to rescue Gaufrid and Saurtem that day was not made on a whim.


    He already lived for so long as a beast and grew to understand the world he lived in that he grew used to the cruelty against beasts, he learned to turn a blind eye to it.


    At that moment in time, he alreadypletely embraced his 2nd identity.


    He already watched dozens of beasts poached and sold, even killed by his poacher group but he never intervened to help these beasts.


    He intervened that one time because the 2 beasts were different.


    "Monsters!" Guafrid yelled aggressively at the poachers even as Saurtem was already captured and he was slowly being cornered.


    "I hate you all, cowards!" He spat hatefully.


    "You call yourself the sentient races but that''s just hypocrisy!"


    "We''re beasts but we''re not monsters!"


    "You¡­, you are the true MONSTERS!" He roared.


    "One day, I shall be the symbol that will end the reign of brutality against beasts, I will pull you monsters down from your pedestals!"


    "Even if I die today, my spirit will live on!"


    "My ghost will haunt you!"


    "Till beasts gain freedom, you all shall gain no freedom!"


    Ghost had seen other beasts yell even more ridiculous words of bravado when faced with the prospect of death and captivity, but Gaufrid was different.


    His choice of words was different.


    The anger in his voice and zeal of his spirit resonated with him.


    This was why he saved Gaufrid and Saurtem.


    At this moment, Ghost went down the memoryne as he remembered that moment of taking them to his home.


    He didn''t want to be the good Samaritan though, he wanted to put Gaufrid to the test and see if he would die and fade to history just like the others.


    "You can only stay at my house for 2 days, any more than that is already risky for me".


    "I won''t jeopardize my identity just to pamper the 2 of you".


    Gaufrid reacted like he didn''t hear as he looked at this beast with bright shining eyes. "You''re powerful, join us!"


    "Huh?" Ghost looked at them, confused.


    Gaufrid did not hold back, he told him everything.


    "My life goal is to end all the beast suffering".


    "My goal is to liberate every beast in suffering".


    "I want to build a Beast Empire".


    "I want to create a beast organization to oppose the sentient races".


    "¡­" For almost a minute, Ghost did not reply.


    Hearing those words being said so zealously felt like a stray bullet was just shot through his heart, it made him relive his childhood in an instant.


    Ghost''s childhood was even more traumatizing than Gaufrid''s and Saurtem''s.


    In mosts of the Minerva Star System, most Naks and Ackermanns mostly eat animals that were yet to take any mana into them but in somes, Naks and Ackermanns eat beasts for their higher nutrient quality.


    Most of these people don''t give a damn that their food had sentience.


    This was worse than eatingpanions like dogs and cats.


    This was like humans literally eating other humans.


    This was how bad the stigma of beast suffering was.


    Ghost grew up in a beast ughterhouse.


    When he was just 6 months old, he saw his father, the biggest of the Reptiles killed and made into a popr Nak stew by his Nak captors.


    When he was 8 months old, he saw his mom killed for food.


    A day after his mom was killed, food was served to them like usual.


    That day, Ghost could not eat.


    The monsters served his mom to him to eat.


    He could hear their voices due to his keen senses outside their cage. "Hehehe¡­, will he eat it?"


    "He has no idea".


    "They''re so foolish, I wonder how it feels to eat your own mom".


    Hearing those words, Ghost shook in bottled rage and frustration.


    That day, he cried tears of rage and humiliation.


    Before he was 2, he saw his whole family ughtered one after the other for nothing but food. Imagine that as a sentient being, let''s say a human.


    Imagine the trauma, the cruel living it was.


    At the ripe age of 5, Ghost was finally taken alongside the others to be ughtered but it was that day that he awakened his shapeshifting bloodline.


    He escaped that day, running far away from the ughterhouse.


    Decadester, as a Grade D Shapeshifting Reptile, he came back as a Nak citizen casually patronizing the quality meat there and he massacred every single Nak citizen working in the ughterhouse for revenge.


    Remembering all these, the tears rolling down his eyes flowed faster.


    Looking at Gaufrid through the gctic ess phone, Ghost ground his teeth. "It is your destiny".


    "Do what you need to do but¡­," He paused as he inclined his head to look at the human. "Make sure to use a soul contract".


    Gaufrid nodded as tears also flowed down his eyes at this moment.


    "Thank you¡­," he paused for a few seconds. "Teacher".

 Chapter 636 Soul contract; the last speech

    Chapter 636 Soul contract; thest speech


    "Thank you¡­ Teacher".


    After these words, time seemed toe to a standstill again.


    Gaufrid took deep greedy breaths of the air.


    He smelled war and mana everywhere, he smiled. If everything went ording as he already envisioned in his mind, this was hisst few breaths.


    And for thest time, this Beast King observed the war.


    He observed all the beasts that kept on dying every second.


    ''I guess it''s time, wasting time will only prolong their suffering''.


    Gaufrid finally looked up as he gazed into the eyes of the Seer human. "What is your name again?"


    "Legs Baron".


    "Legs Baron¡­," Gaufrid paused as he seemed to contemte the type of unique humans that would have given birth to a wonderful human like him.


    Gaufrid smiled the next moment. "Thank you, Legs".


    "Thank you for giving me this opportunity".


    When Legs appeared and started talking to Gaufrid, he established a connection to all 5 Upper Beast Priests of the Beast Coalition. This decision now saved Gaufrid from the job of long exnations.


    Gaufrid took another deep breath. "George, I need a soul contract".


    "¡­!" Silence descended among the upper echelons of the Beast Coalition.


    The voice of the 1st Upper Beast Priest finally reverberated. "Gaufrid¡­, have you finalized your decision?"


    "You don''t need to be the sacrifice".


    "Our defeat is not yet set in stone".


    "It''ll take time but I believe I can defeat this enemy Cmity Grade. He is their strongest warrior, once I defeat him, I''m sure we can escape together".


    "Besides, Angenton and the others are still fighting, have faith in us".


    Hearing this, Gaufrid smiled again but he shook his head. "No".


    His eyes showed resolution. "I already made up my mind".


    "I started the Beast Coalition, my reason for starting it was genuine but the day that I began ordering massacres of entires,ying waste to innocent civilians, some who knew nothing about beast brutality, my fate was decided".


    "I don''t regret it though¡­," Gaufrid smiled. "If I never went so far and hard, today would have never happened and we would never have this opportunity".


    "This is our chance to end it all and achieve our ultimate goal".


    "This is my only chance to be the symbol I always wanted".


    "The young innocent beasts out there dying do not deserve to die, at least not for my mistakes, instead I should be the one dying for their freedom".


    Gaufrid''s smile widened. "Ancestor would be proud of my decision".


    Hearing that was all that George needed to know that his leader already made up his mind. While he still engaged in intense battle against Fleet Warlord Elyon, George divided his attention and created a soul contract.


    "Special Magic Ability: Soul Contract!"


    Inside the pce of the Beast King, the soul contract appeared.


    It was a green glowing piece of paper with the stamp of 2 demon heads at the bottom, this piece of paper pulsed with arcane energy.


    As soon as the paper appeared, the Beast King looked at Legs.


    "You know what it is right?"


    Legs nodded; he grabbed the piece of paper the next moment.


    -----


    [You havee into contact with a Cmity Grade Soul Contract!]


    [WARNING! You can only break the restrictions of this soul contract after you be a Beyond Grade A Super!]


    [Contract Parties:]


    >Party A: Gaufrid<


    >Party B: Legs Baron<


    [Contract Terms:]


    >Party A will be executed by Party B, and in exchange, the war will be over. The allied Nak and Ackermann army will win but in return, the beasts of the Beast Empire will regain their freedom, making their empire official<


    >With the death of Party A, all the top executives and subordinates of Party A (the Beast Priests) will be hired mercenaries to party B<


    [Contract Breach Penalty:]


    >If any of the 2 parties mentioned above goes against the terms of this contract, absolute death is the only penalty<


    >Absolute death entails that defaulting party bes non-existing, i.e, he cannot live in the Underworld, he cannot survive as a soul or energy existence, in every sense of the world, he bes dead<


    [Signatures:]


    >Party A Signature: Freedom<


    >Party B Signature: <


    ----


    Legs instantly recognized some of the tricky use of the contract.


    The top executives and subordinates of Party A bing hired mercenaries of Party B means that the Beast Priests won''t necessarily be his subordinates like he wanted, instead, they''ll be something like paid mercenaries to him.


    It was up to him if worthy to make them be loyal in the future.


    Legs recognized the loop hole but he did not dwell on it. As a Grade B Super, he knew how big he was aiming tomand Cmity Grades.


    As for the death penalty, he had no intentions of going against the contract terms in the first ce.


    Legs did not hesitate; he scribbled his signature on the soul contract.


    Instantly after he did it, the glowing piece of paper was burnt to ash by green mes as instantly, Legs felt an imprint being left on his soul.


    With his signature, he was now bound by the terms of the contract.


    As soon as the piece of paper got burnt, Gaufrid sighed in relief.


    "It''s done, so please," He looked at the human. "Stop the war".


    "Stop!" Legs roared into a specialmunication device the next moment as thousands of warships spread across this warfront received the order.


    These warships that were spread across the territory of the Beast Empire, spreading death rampantly finally stopped as soon as they heard the order.


    The non-stop bloodshed finally stopped for the first time today.


    Literally every battle came to a halt at this moment except 2 battlefields.


    George kept on battling aggressively with Fleet Warlord Elyon.


    Angenton also kept on battling aggressively against the lineup of Cmity Grade Supers led by Admiral Zhao that were assigned to deal with him.


    Amid this sudden silence after the chaos and noise of the war since, Gaufrid took onest breath of the air then he looked at Legs. "Do it".


    Bzzz!


    A simr scene like what happened 3 years ago when the Beast Coalition became known to everyone happened again as allworks across this star system were hijacked, the Beast King faced everyone.


    Once again in his life, Gaufrid faced every beast of the Minerva Star System.


    Not just them, he also faced all the Naks and Ackermanns.


    The next moment, shocking everyone watching, the Beast King smiled into the virtual projection. "Rejoice my brothers, we finally did it!"


    "We finally achieved our ultimate goal!"


    "Freedom, that was our goal from the beginning and now we have it".


    "As a young beast, my dream was to create a Beast Empire where beasts are no longer persecuted by the arrogant Naks and Ackermmans".


    "I always saw them as the monsters, the persecutors".


    "In my quest to achieve my goal, I created the Beast Coalition and pushed by desperation, before I knew it, I also fell into the path of the monster".


    Gaufrid chuckled. "Before I knew it, I became a monster myself".


    "In my desperation to rescue more beasts, I became just like the monsters I hated as I massacred billions of innocents in my quest to achieve my goal".


    "I became the monster I always hated but it was not in vain". Gaufrid''s expression reflected inner peace at this moment.


    "Today, I finally managed to achieve my goal".


    "Congrattions brothers, our fight for freedom was not in vain".


    "The Naks and Ackermanns finally sumbed to our tenacity". Heughed barbarically. "They finally agreed to help me achieve my dream".


    "After today, the Beast Empire will be official".


    "Congrattions to every beast in the Minerva Star System, today marks your freedom, these are the coordinates of the new Beast Empire".


    "I achieved my goal of beast freedom but my sins cannot be forgiven".


    "I shall be executed as payment for my grievous sins".


    "I have no regrets though; I lived a fulfilling life".


    "I have just one dying wish to all beasts".


    His eyes looking at the camera smiled with determination. "Don''t make the same mistake that I made, take full advantage of this opportunity that I paved for all beasts with my life".


    "Do not taint my legacy by being another version of me".


    "Let me be the symbol I always wanted to be".


    "Let me be your totem, your ancestor who took on all the suffering on your behalf and all I want from you is to take the Beast Empire to great heights the good way, prove all the sentient races wrong that we are not barbarians!"


    "Prove to them that we are as sentient as they are!"


    With that, Gaufrid smiled brightly. "I am ready".

 Chapter 637 The execution

    Chapter 637 The execution


    "I am ready".


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­..!"


    Time seemed to freeze across the Minerva Star System.


    Multiple races across the Minerva Star System were watching the broadcast, billions of people watched and they were captivated by thatst speech.


    Gaufrid did a good job with his speech.


    Watching him, all the beasts felt sad but none of them felt a spirit of rebellion rising in them as the words of their leader settled into their head.


    ''Do not taint my legacy by being another version of me¡­''


    ''Prove to them that we are as sentient as they are!''


    Billions of beasts spread across the Minerva Star System felt different emotions ranging from sadness to frustration, billions cried on behalf of their savior as they watched him bend the knee before the sword.


    On his knees, Gaufrid faced the camera again.


    "Do not cry because its ending, be happy because it happened".


    "Let me take all the stigma of the beast fate with me to the afterworld".


    "With my death, let all beasts be reborn to a new fate".


    Gaufrid took his eyes away from the camera as he looked down. ''Ancestor¡­, are you watching?''


    He shook in excitement. ''I hope I performed to your expectations''.


    ''I hope I was the savior that you hoped for''.


    ''I''m d I got to know you''.


    The Demonic Lion finally closed his eyes.


    Thud! Thud!


    The footsteps reverberated as the executioner walked closer.


    He was a hefty Nak warrior carrying a giant executioner sword, this warrior had been informed of his task since long ago and he was prepared for it.


    As he walked closer though, Gaufrid opened his eyes again and looked.


    Not at the Nak warrior, but at Legs.


    "Complete what you started¡­, please".


    "¡­" Legs'' heart skipped a beat.


    "Be my executioner". Gaufrid demanded.


    "Send me on my journey to go meet Ancestor".


    "Be the one who executes Duhkha".


    "¡­" Legs had a poker look on his face but a lot of things went through his mind as his heart began beating faster.


    This was the worse case scenario that he hoped against.


    ''If I personally execute their leader, those Beast Priests won''t forgive me''. His thought process briefly halted when his game interface lit up with a notification.

    ----


    "¡­!" Legs'' eyes widened into saucers as he saw this notification.


    ''Holy sh*t!''


    ''Killing the Beast King increases my favorability with the beast race?!''


    ''Damn¡­, how does that even work?''


    Legs was amazed but he did not let his shock show on his face even as Gaufrid''s eyes kept on looking into his own eyes.


    The next moment, the Obsidian Spear materialized out of his inventory.


    Thud!


    This spear''s sharp dended with a thud.


    Seeing his actions, Gaufrid smiled again. "Thank you".


    This beast finally closed his eyes and embraced his death.


    Legs took short steady steps as he went closer to his target. On arriving there, he looked down at the leader of the Beast Empire and Beast Coalition onest time before raising his spear high into the air.


    "In the name of freedom, I set you free".


    Legs raised his pitch-ck spear up before swinging it hard.


    WHOM!


    The spear cut through the air with power.


    The Beast King was finally about to be executed.


    Duhkha was about to be history.


    Gaufrid was finally about to be the symbol that he always wanted but just before the spear could hit its target, a foreign power erupted.


    The fire erupted and tore through the shield surrounding the Beast Emperor''s pce almost instantly as it enveloped the executioner the next moment, Legs instantly felt all his danger instincts tingle.


    He felt powerless as the indomitable fire energypletely suppressed him.


    "Ah¡­, Legs Baron, finally, we meet". A voice reverberated.


    "This ce is noisy, let''s go to a quieter ce to discuss".


    BZZZ!


    The fire disappeared.

 Chapter 638 A twist

    Chapter 638 A twist


    BZZZ!


    The fire disappeared.


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­..!"


    The twist was so sudden; everything happened so fast.


    2 seconds earlier¡­


    Legs raised his pitch-ck spear up before swinging it hard.


    WHOM!


    The spear cut through the air with power.


    The Beast King was finally about to be executed.


    Duhkha was about to be history.


    Gaufrid was finally about to be the symbol that he always wanted but just before the spear could hit its target, a foreign power erupted.


    Precisely, 2 powers erupted.


    ng!


    The sound of metal colliding against metal reverberated and it was so subtle that only few managed to notice it, then following the metal was fire.


    Fire erupted and tore through the shield surrounding the Beast Emperor''s pce almost instantly as it enveloped the executioner the next moment, Legs instantly felt all his danger instincts tingle.


    Gaufrid''s eyes widened in shock due to the interruption.


    Legs'' eyes also widened in shock and confusion. "What¡­?"


    He paused as he finally saw it, the hand holding the sword that parried his execution attack, preventing Gaufrid from being executed at thest moment.


    The green Reptilian scales of this hand stole his attention first.


    Then, he heard the familiar voice reverberate in his mind.


    ''Got you!'' The voice cackled, filled with maliciousness.


    Legs shuddered on hearing it.


    He recognized it, this voice was Ghost''s voice.


    Raising his head, he finally saw the body and face of the existence that stopped the execution. It was Ghost, the Shapeshifting Reptile and Espionage Priest of the Beast Coalition whose hidden identity was Admiral Nathan.


    At this moment, Ghost was back in his base reptilian form that was a gigantic lizard with thick green scales covering all over his body.


    "¡­!" Legs'' eyes widened in shock.


    The voice transmission through his spirit sense continued.


    ''Legs Baron¡­, the all-knowing seer!''


    ''Hehehe, I knew that was a f*cking bluff from the beginning''.


    ''Apart from the Beast Coalition, I''m a spy of a 2nd organization, I''m the 2nd inmand in charge of the espionage department of the ElKing army''.


    ''I''ve seen seers, I''m heard of them, none of them is like you''.


    ''Your powers are not those of a seer, that''s where I got my first suspicions and this moment confirms it, you never saw thising''. The reptile grinned.


    ''You never thought I''d let you kill the hope of beast freedom right?''


    ''Gaufrid is already a symbol of beast freedom''.


    ''He does not have to die to prove anything''.


    This reptile grinned. ''At first, I have to admit that I was truly caught off-guard by the effectiveness of your unique ability and how much you knew about us''.


    ''I thought hard and analyzed for weeks yet was not able to find a loophole to turn the tides in favor of the Beast Coalition, this was until I remembered the Red Deacon, you never spoke of a Red Deaconing to the Beast Empire''.


    ''That was the moment that I confirmed that you were no seer''.


    ''As soon as I discovered this, everything else became easy''.


    ''All I had to do was to contact the Red Deacon, warn him of your threat while devising a n together on how to capture you without telling even the Beast King since all connections to him were tightly monitored''.


    ''I never expected you to have another hidden n though''.


    ''Hehe¡­, what a perfect n to cripple the dream of beast freedom while benefiting from it, you really thought us for fools right?!'' The voice exploded in rage.


    ''The audacity to suggest killing our leader and expecting us to stay calm!''


    ''At first, I thought we werepletely outsmarted, I already lost hope since your real body was not here, this was until Gaufrid asked for you to finish the job''.


    ''Few noticed it but I did,'' This Reptile grinned again. ''It was that moment that your real body arrived here toplete the execution''.


    ''At that moment, I knew you were thinking you already won''.


    ''You were smug and all arrogant, right?'' He smirked.


    ''You alreadypletely outsmarted a Star System level terrorist organization, what an achievement to your resume''.


    ''What a genius''.


    ''Hehe, you''re a fool!''


    ''A BLOODY FOOL!"


    ''Bringing your real body exposed you, it enabled I and the Red Deacon to execute our original n''.


    ''You did well, Legs''.


    ''You truly are a genius but it''s over, we won''.


    Voice transmissions through spirit senses were extremely fast.


    This conversation started and ended in less than a second.


    By now, the fire released by the Red Deacon already engulfed Legs. He felt powerless as the indomitable fire energypletely suppressed him.


    As soon as the Red Deacon and the Espionage Priest appeared, at that millisecond, Fleet Warlord Elyon and the other Cmity Grades noticed it.


    "Save the seer!" Fleet Warlord Elyon roared.


    Activating their strongest abilities, they tried to breach the new shield of fire that was created by the Red Deacon even as the Beast Priests stopped them.


    Everything was happening so fast, George, the 1st Upper Beast Priest and the other Beast Priests had no idea what was going on.


    Despite this, they instinctively tried to stop the Nak and Ackermann Cmity Grades who tried to prevent whatever was happening from happening.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The previously silent battlefield suddenly erupted into a noisy affair again as powerful Cmity Grade energy shed aggressively before the pce of the Beast King where the Red Deacon now looked at his prized possession.


    The existence hidden in the red robe held the Summoner by the chin as he looked into his eyes passionately. "Ah¡­, Legs Baron, we finally meet".


    "This ce is noisy, let''s go to a quieter ce to discuss".


    BZZZ!


    Amid the rabid attacks from the Cmity Grades of the allied force of the Nak and Ackermann Navy, the fire disappeared, taking with them the Red Deacon, the Espionage Priest, Legs, and the Beast King.


    "¡­!" The eyes of the Nak and Ackermann Cmity Grades widened, then immense rage appeared in these eyes the next moment.


    Legs dered a cease fire previously but this was just torn apart.


    This betrayal just dered this war unreconcble.


    "You backstabbing bastards!" Fleet Warlord Elyon overloaded his mech suit.


    When this Mechanic pulled the trigger, an apocalypse followed.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The war restarted and instantly geared into overdrive!

 Chapter 639 Danger!

    Chapter 639 Danger!


    BZZZ!


    Legs appeared in an entirely different region of space.


    The first thing that entered his mind was to ess his gctic ess device and he did only for his heart to fall to the deepest abyss instantly.


    [Current Location: Unknown!]


    [No signal!]


    Legs despaired.


    He was just teleported to the deepest jungles of space where no one could trace him ande to rescue him.


    This proved a very bitter and dangerous fact to him.


    At this moment, he was alone.


    "¡­!" This realization made Legs'' heart to run cold.


    At the same time that Legs regained orientation of himself, Gaufrid did the same as shock and confusion shone in the eyes of this beast.


    This beast literally already embraced death a few seconds ago.


    He looked at himself, then at the human Legs, then at the Red Deacon, he paused for a few seconds in shock then he finally understood.


    This Demonic Lion''s energy shook aggressively as it became unstable.


    Gaufrid shook in rage as he turned to look at a beast that he once highly respected, he roared. "Ghost¡­, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"


    Ghost smirked. "You were always na?ve and soft-hearted Gaufrid".


    "It is one of your qualities that made me and the others fall in love with you and to believe in your goal but at this stage of pursuing our goal, hard decisions need to be made".


    "You needed someone with enough spine to make the decision on your behalf and fortunately for you, you have that someone in me".


    "You agreeing to die is the most foolish thing I''ve ever heard from you".


    "Your death has nothing to do with you bing a symbol".


    "You are already a symbol for all beasts pursuing beast freedom!"


    "Our goal was never to make peace with the Naks and Ackermanns, our ultimate goal was always to create a world of freedom for all beasts no matter what sacrifices was needed to achieve the ultimate goal".


    "This world of freedom can only be created when all of them are wiped out".


    Gaufrid looked at the beast standing opposite him in shock for 2 seconds before he closed his eyes. "You are no longer the Ghost that I knew".


    "You''re no longer the Ghost that I acknowledged as teacher".


    "What has 2 centuries living as a spy done to you?"


    Ghost smirked. "It made me wiser, smarter, and more decisive".


    Gaufrid clenched his fists in pain as blood flowed from them due to his nails ruthlessly digging in, when he spoke again his voice wasced with pain. "When did you betray us?"


    "¡­?" Ghost was confused.


    "When did you betray the Beast Coalition?!" Gaufrid roared at him.


    "When did you be a subordinate of ElKing?"


    Hearing that, Ghost''s eyes turned cold. "It''s a necessary evil".


    "How could you do it?!" Gaufrid broke down in tears, tears of immense pain of having lost a once in a life time opportunity that he totally resonated with.


    "That was our chance to achieve freedom!"


    "That was our chance to fulfill our f*cking dream!"


    "Now, they''ll all die!"


    "Those young innocent beasts, they''ll all die¡­!"


    "George, Saurtem¡­, they''ll all f*cking die all due to your decision!"


    "Ancestor¡­, oh Ancestor¡­" Gaufrid clutched his mane, he was going crazy.


    This beast copsed in pain and regret.


    While the Beast King and the Espionage Priest had their moment together, the Red Deacon looked down at his prize with an excited glint in his eyes.


    "Legs Baron, it''s so good to finally meet you".


    "I feel like I''m standing in the presence of a future legend".


    Though the red robe hid his facial features and bodypletely, Legs could still tell how excited this Red Deacon was at this moment.


    "I won''t waste your time gem; I''ll go straight to the point".


    "The ability that I used to bring you here is called Fire Transmutation".


    "By burning my own fire energy, I managed to create a fuel that was able to warp space around us and push us through a tube across the higher dimensions".


    "At this moment, we''re millions of kilometers away from the battlefield".


    "Any hopes of being rescued, scrap them".


    "Your only chance of survival is to ept our proposal".


    The voice of this Red Deacon became even more excited. "ElKing is the strongest Elementalist in the universe, a Peak Beyond Grade A Super".


    "He is 1 of only 3 Pirates in the universe who are strong enough to openly go against the 3 Universal Civilizations and live to tell the story".


    "He is my boss and he has taken a liking to your talent".


    "ElKing wants you to be his subordinate".


    "Legs Baron, join the ElKing Pirates".


    "The benefits are numerous. Not only will you receive special attention and tutge from the boss, you don''t have to fear the suppression of the 3 Universal Civilizations, the tyrants who pose as angels".


    The Red Deacon grinned. "You have only 2 options".


    "Join us and live".


    "Decline us and die, right here right now".


    Silence.


    For seconds, silence reigned as thousands of thoughts went through his mind even as he seemed to engage in a mental game of chess with himself.


    Legs analyzed countless scenarios of how this could end with any of the decisions in his mind and none of them looked bright.


    This time, he was truly in danger.


    His options were very limited.


    If Legs was a normal Super, his only option would be to ept. Afterall, how bad would it be to be the special student of one of the strongest Beyond Grade A Supers of the universe but no, Legs was from the future.


    He knew ElKing, he knew this vicious pirate''s notoriety.


    He was a thousand percent sure that joining the ElKing Pirates would automatically turn him into the new guinea pig of the vicious pirate.


    Legs was caught in a pinch.


    He didn''t waste more time though, that would only be dying the inevitable. He had only one answer in his mind.


    Legs looked at the Red Deacon, he took a deep breath.


    "No".


    Silence.

 Chapter 640 A familiar smell; the smell of death!

    Chapter 640 A familiar smell; the smell of death!


    "No".


    This was the answer that came out of the mouth of the human.


    Silence.


    Total silence reigned for a few seconds.


    "¡­!" The eyes of the Beast King widened as wide as saucers.


    ''He rejected!'' This beast was going crazy.


    ''He f*cking rejected!''


    ''Does he truly know who ElKing is?''


    ''Has he not seen the terror of Beyond Grade A''s not to talk of one of ElKing''s caliber¡­, he''s the f*cking Lord of all Elementalists!''


    "¡­" Ghost only smirked arrogantly.


    As for the Red Deacon, he was only caught off-guard.


    It took more than 10 seconds before this Red Deacon was able to speak again and when he did, his voice sounded colder. "What did you say?"


    "No". Legs repeated casually. "I refuse your offer".


    Behind his red robe, the eyes of this existence narrowed. "Are you sure?"


    "Yes". Legs did not hesitate.


    The eyes of the Red Deacon closed. "Then you leave me no choice".


    "What a pity". He shook his head.


    "You would have surely be a Beyond Grade A in the future".


    BZZZ!


    Terrifying elemental energy poured out of the body of the Red Deacon the next moment as engulfing the surrounding space, despite theck of oxygen in space, this elemental energy ignited to be fire.


    As soon as the Red Deacon made his move, Legs took a deep breath.


    His eyes gleamed. ''It''s now or never!''


    During those few seconds after the Red Deacon asked him the question and a thousand thoughts went through his mind, he went through all his options.


    From the beginning, he had only one decision to make, to reject the offer.


    The countless thoughts going through his mind was on how to survive.


    ''That''s 1 vs 3''.


    ''Not just any 1 vs 3 either, a Grade B+ Super against 3 bonafide Cmity Grade Supers''.


    ''This is a ridiculous mismatch; I stand no chance''.


    ''Escape with my numerous abilities?''


    ''That''s out of the question, every single one of them have more mana points than me, they''ll easily oust me in a chase''.


    ''Besides, I''m currently stuck in an unknown region of space''.


    ''I don''t even know if any is nearby''.


    ''It''s impossible to escape''.


    ''Outsmart and agitate them to fight against each other?''


    ''Impossible!'' He scrapped the thought the instant that it came.


    ''The Red Deacon is no fool that''s gullible to clever use of words, neither are those 2 beasts in this current situation''.


    ''There''s no way I can agitate them into fighting each other''.


    ''They have the upper hand psychologically here, not the other way round''.


    ''Then, fight?''


    From thousands, the thoughts going through his mind multiplied to tens of thousands as he rapidly made calctions in his mind.


    ''Fight¡­''


    ''I have less than 1% chance of surviving in a fight''.


    ''Against a Red Deacon alone, I stand no chance and with the addition of the Beast King and the Espionage Priest, it''s actually 0% chance of survival''.


    ''Unless¡­,'' His eyes gleamed. ''A miracle happens''.


    Then thest option came to his mind. ''Deceive him?''


    ''That''s worse''.


    ''Once I agree to be a part of the ElKing Pirates, I would automatically throw myself inside a train that I have no control over''.


    ''Besides, once I enter ElKing''s territory, it''s over''.


    ''I''ll only be one of his many guinea pigs, I''ll meet a fate worse than death which means the 3rd option is the best''.


    ''Then, battle strategy''.


    Legs thought over all these within that second after the Red Deacon threw his question, and after his answer as the enraged Red Deacon flexed his intimidating elemental energy, he made his move faster.

    ----


    BZZZ!


    The terrifying elemental energy of the Red Deacon barely erupted when 3 distinct opposing energies erupted so fast that no one could react.


    White telekinesis energy, green summoner energy, and red temporal energy, these 3 energies erupted instantly as the human seemed to be a demon!


    BZZZ!


    The telekinesis domain activated instantly, pressing against the cmity domain of the Red Deacon that was in the process of activating.


    Inside the domain of his telekinesis domain, Legs felt high as adrenaline flooded through his body, driving his actions.


    At the same time that the telekinesis domain activated, the body-gravity explosion triggered as an explosion of neutral mana in space pushed the Red Deacon backward, separating him from the human by a tiny bit.


    It was at that moment that the rainbow bridge opened, the familiar rainbow bridge leading to the beast ne.


    As soon as this bridge opened¡­


    "ROAR¡­!"


    "MOW¡­!"


    "SHRIEK¡­!"


    "CROAK¡­!"


    Loud sounds of different terrifying beasts reverberated from the beast ne as millions of beasts started surging out through the rainbow bridge.


    They filled everywhere in an instant, making this area rowdy and chaotic.


    Despite this chaos though, Legs could not escape if he tried, this was why he had no choice but to go on the attack.


    And this was when his contracted beasts came charging out.


    BZZZ!


    Legs integrated with Predator before amalgamating all 4 of his contracted beasts as he became the Void Monkey King, yet he didn''t stop there.


    Duplicating himself, he created 2 more Void Monkey Kings.


    3 Void Monkey Kings amid an army of millions of beasts, the Red Deacon already lost sight of his opponent but Legs'' eyes remained fixated on his target.


    Creating beast mirages to increase the confusion effect, he finally went on the attack as his pitch-ck Obsidian Spear became coated with his aggressive green Summoner energy and his red temporal energy.


    Legs stabbed and space shook!


    All 3 Void Monkey Kings stabbed.


    Time froze as the temporal control; pause took effect while time elerated for Legs with the effects of the temporal control; eleration.


    The Red Deacon could not move, all the attacks hit.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    And instantly after they hit, the rewind; degradation ability kicked in.


    The red robe of the Red Deacon turned into silk and mana the next moment, exposing the real appearance of the Red Deacon.


    This was a terrifying existence with the legs of a dinosaur, sharp des in ce of hands, with the head of a human with demon-like horns.


    Thick azure scales protected his gigantic body.


    Yet, attacks were alreadying as soon as the red robe that also acted as his armor was degraded, all the attacks hit.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    "Ugh¡­!" The Red Deacon coughed blood.


    "¡­!" Ghost was shocked to his core.


    ''This human¡­!''


    Legs was about to start a 2nd barrage of attacks following the momentum of the first since temporal control; pause was still active but¡­, he moved!


    The Red Deacon moved!


    Legs'' eyes widened. ''I almost forgot, this ability weakens when used against stronger opponents, itsted only a second, how powerful is he?!''


    Red Deacons were themanders of the ElKing Pirates.


    Every single one of them were terrifyingly powerfulbatants. Legs knew this, he thought he already rated hisbat power high enough but still he underestimated this Red Deacon.


    "Insolent human!" The Red Deacon growled.


    "You shall be ElKing''s prey!"


    "If dragging your corpse there is what I have to do, so be it!"


    "Self-Created Elemental Ability: Fire Commandment; Furnace Purgatory!"


    The fire elemental energy of this Elementalist exploded.


    BOOM!


    -----


    [CRITICAL HIT!]


    [WARNING! Your health points have reduced by 20%!]


    ----


    "Ugh¡­!" Legs coughed blood as he flew through space, colliding through all the beasts that were on his path.


    Legs brought all these beasts to create confusion and perhaps hold the Red Deacon down, but they only served as nuisance and pests to him.


    This Red Deacon was on a whole other level of power to Admiral Gwen.


    Gritting his teeth even as his grip on his spear tightened, Legs kicked at space as he elerated back towards this Elementalist to fight.


    BOOM!


    He received another terrifying hit.


    BAM!


    He received a concussion.


    POW!


    He was pummeled.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Ghost and Gaufrid didn''t even have to step in, they only watched as this terrifying Cmity Grade powerhouse destroyed the human.


    The 3 strongest Red Deacons under ElKing were Grade A+ powerhouses, while the remaining 5 were extremely close to that level.


    In the Cmity Grade, they were monsters, Legs stood no chance.


    BOOM!


    Another attack ruined his internal organs, basically crippling him.


    "UGH¡­!" Legs coughed blood even as he felt immense pain.


    The battle onlysted 5 seconds.


    He could no longer move, he felt too weak to move.


    Blood flowed from all orifices in his body.


    At that moment, Legs perceived a smell, a familiar one.


    He perceived the familiar scent of death.


    Instantly, a memory was reyed in his head.


    The memory of his battle against the Bug Conqueror.


    He died in that battle, and at this moment, Legs felt that feeling again.


    ''I''m about to die again!'' His sense of crisis rose to the peak.


    ''I doubt the influence of the Underworld extends all the way here''.


    ''This time, I won''t be able to resurrect''.


    ''I''ll truly die this time!''


    Legs felt unwilling. ''I don''t want to die!''


    ''I DON''T WANT TO DIE!''


    He struggled in his mind but his body could not move, he felt too weak.


    A hand grabbed him by the head the next moment as the Red Deacon looked into his eyes. "In what way do you want to die?"


    Hearing those words, Legs felt regret and desperation grip him.


    ''I don''t want to die!''


    ''I don''t want to die!''


    -----


    You have triggered Passive Ability: Battle Controller!


    [WARNING! Not enough momentum to trigger Unrivalled God Mode!]


    ----


    Legs despaired. ''I don''t want to die!''


    Looking into the blood-red eyes of the Red Deacon, he only saw death.


    Looking death in the eyes pushed him to desperation.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Partial Telepathy!


    ----


    Click!


    As soon as Legs activated this ability, pushed by his desperation, something seemed to click in his head as a dam seemed to have broken.


    -----


    [Congrattions! You have evolved Partial Telepathy stolen special ability to be Telepathy!]


    >Telepathy: When activated, you gain the ability to sense the thoughts and intentions of others. Effortlessly, you can now enter a victim''s mind and ess their ns, interests, and desires. With minor effort, you can now intrude into your target''s mind, nt memories andmand your targets<


    ----


    Legs felt an instant change.


    His perception of the world seemed to change.


    He started hearing voices, the voices of those around him.


    ''What a pity, he would have made such a good guinea pig to boss, perhaps I would have even received a promotion''.


    Legs'' eyes widened; these were the thoughts of the Red Deacon.


    ''The enemy is open, I can bite now, if only master will order the Ghost Wolf to leave the way''.


    Legs'' eyes widened; these were the thoughts of one of his tamed beasts.


    ''I want to use my ultimate ability but I don''t have the space''.


    ''My true battle talent is being shackled fighting like this, this is not my true fighting style but master doesn''t know''.


    ''If only master can read my thoughts''.


    Legs was shocked.


    This was the ultimate state that he envisioned.


    The ultimate state of his cmity path that he envisioned.


    At that moment, his game interface lit up.


    -----


    [Congrattions! Your Cmity Path- Cmity Path of the Arch Grandmaster has achieved the state of Apotheosis!]


    [Congrattions! You have gained¡­]


    ----


    Legs'' Summoner energy exploded.


    BOOM!

 Chapter 641 Apotheosis!

    Chapter 641 Apotheosis!


    A long time ago¡­


    "How long do you think you need to be a Grade B+ Summoner?"


    "2 months, 3 at most".


    President Dunk nodded. "What do you need?"


    This was when Legs finally grinned. "I want ess to a proper Titan inheritance that will enable me awaken more of my Titan bloodline powers".


    "I need the verified techniques to learn the Diamond Beast-Body path and more ways to strengthen my body and increase my advantage even more".


    Chief Admiral Gregory briefly interrupted. "It''s weird that as a Summoner, you pay so much attention to increasing your physical body strength and endurance".


    Legs grinned. "I''m weird".


    "Is that all?" President Dunk asked.


    "I need ess to powerful techniques for the Beast Combatant path, and if possible, I also want something that will enable me get to 100% base control level with every single one of my contracted beasts".


    "Lastly, if there is, I want an ability that will enable me tomunicate telepathically with every single one of my tamed beasts".


    President Dunk silently looked into this Summoner''s eyes for a minute.


    Then he spoke. "Done".


    Legs'' journey of power was not a short one but finally, he was here.


    He casually said those words to President Dunk a long time ago when he was asked, but this was Legs'' goal chart to achieve his ultimate goal for allying with the Nak State,pleting his cmity path evolution.


    Legs spent months in the national Nak Library, the national library of a Star System level civilization and there, he read about tons of cmity paths.


    Of them all, none was asplicated as the Cmity path of the Maverick.


    None was as powerful, and none had as much potential.


    With the Cmity Path of the Arch Grandmaster, Legs aimed for the top of the super world at a go.


    He wanted to follow in Maximus'' footsteps.


    He wanted to be the next Gigachad of this universe.


    In Rockfest, he worked his ass out, fighting against the most talented Pugilists that the Nak State had to offer to hone hisbat skills to improve his proficiency with the Beast Combatant cmity path to the limit.


    The results were his self-created techniques in the form of Nature''s Connection and Nature''s Rage that fullyplemented his Void Monkey King form.


    He already achieved the ultimate state of closebat power for a Grade B Super, aided by his Supreme talents, yet Legs did not stop at that.


    Still in Rockfest, he improved the potential of his body to the limit.


    The toughness of his body was ridiculous for even Pugilists.


    After Rockfest, in Gogunheim, he trained his understanding of Warpsnares to the maximum which culminated in him increasing his base control level with every single one of his contracted beasts to above 100%.


    This increased his strength even further as his proficiency with the Diamond-Beast Body cmity path increased to the state of apotheosis.


    This was still not enough to satisfy him.


    In Gorr, he took it a step further, amplifying the advantage of his Titan Bloodline to a ridiculous level by learning directly from the greatest Titan who ever stepped foot on the universe as it became an integral part of his new power.


    With his gains in Rockfest, Gogunheim, and Gorr, Legs became a frighteningbat powerhouse who could challenge and defeat Cmity Grade Supers as a mere Grade B+ Summoner.


    Yet, he was not satisfied with this, he wanted more.


    ''Lastly, if there is, I want an ability that will enable me tomunicate telepathically with every single one of my tamed beasts''.


    For a long time, Legs noticed some problems andgs in hisbat style.


    With his Grandmaster Beast Tamer active ability, he could tame the most horrifying and powerful of beasts. This shaped hisbat style as while amalgamated with all his contracted beasts, he still controlled his tamed beasts to fight.


    In battle though, Legs noticed inconsistencies.


    In literally every battle, his tamed beasts were almost always a beat faster than him or slower, they were never truly in sync despite numerous battles together.


    This was not something that mere chemistry could fix.


    It''s solution transcended chemistry.


    Legs discovered that the only solution was to gain an ability that would enable him tomunicate telepathically with every single one of his tamed beasts.


    Telepathicmunication was like spirit sensemunication, it was almost a million times faster than normal mouth to mouthmunication.


    Through telepathy, Legs would truly be in sync with all his powerful tamed beasts, this was a reality that could potentially balloon hisbat power to ridiculous heights if made possible.


    Despite trying hard though, Legs never found what he wanted, until today¡­


    Pushed by the desperation of death, he broke his limits.


    His partial telepathy special ability finally evolved, bing the true telepathy that he had been yearning for years.


    ''What a pity, he would have made such a good guinea pig to boss, perhaps I would have even received a promotion''.


    The thoughts of the Red Deacon.


    ''The enemy is open, I can bite now, if only master will order the Ghost Wolf to leave the way''.


    ''I want to use my ultimate ability but I don''t have the space''.


    ''My true battle talent is being shackled fighting like this, this is not my true fighting style but master doesn''t know''.


    ''If only master can read my thoughts''.


    At that moment, Legs felt liberated.


    He could hear it all; he could see it all; he felt unshackled.


    Yet, it didn''t stop at that.


    For years, Legs had been farming the yers for their XP and through Christensen being such a good assistant, his XP farm in form of the yers boomed.


    Over the years, he already amassed a ridiculous amount of XP.


    The only thing holding him back previously was his upleted cmity path, and now, this was finallypleted.


    The greatest cmity path waspleted.


    Despite the pain all over his body at this moment, Legs did not hesitate as he could still feel the sense of crisis all over his body, he did the thing instantly.

    Even amid the blood flowing from all his orifices, he forced a grin out.


    The next moment, the notifications that he expected appeared.

    ----


    BOOM!


    Legs'' power exploded out like an avnche!


    The Red Deacon could not withstand it as he was blown away.


    3 distinct energies gathered in this region of space the next moment as they induced a terrifying storm in space.


    White telekinesis energy, green summoner energy, and red temporal energy, they all intertwined to form a horrifying power in this space even as the aura of the human increased.


    Legs''s whole existence at this moment was changing.


    "¡­!" Shock filled the eyes of the 3 spectators as they stared at the human that was on the verge of death just a few seconds ago.


    "He''s breaking through¡­!" The Red Deacon was rmed.


    "I can''t let him!" The red eyes of this Red Deacon shed as he rapidly charged in and went on the attack.


    His red elemental energy red like an erupting volcano.


    What followed next though was eye-popping to thest 2 spectators.


    "You are a genius of the Kozuki Demon race". They heard the familiar voice again.


    "You called me guinea pig in your mind huh?"


    "What if I make you the guinea pig?"


    "Your presence here saves me the trouble, one of the Red Deacons of ElKing is worthy to be my next tamed beast".


    "Guinea pig, bow before your daddy!"

    Legs felt the terrifyingly powerful and aggressive will of the Demon but he didn''t even flinch under his influence.


    Having swallowed the mental power of Nico Guaguam, one of the strongest Beyond Grade A Telekinesis Supers to live, his mind was horrifyingly powerful.


    All it took was a sneeze to snuff out the mental will of a Red Deacon!


    A f*cking Red Deacon!

    Then he bowed respectfully. "Master".

    ----


    Legs'' new status shed before his eyes.


    Though he already expected something simr, he was still shocked by what he saw. Despite being a new Cmity Grade Super, his overall power was already close to those veterans at the very peak of this grade.


    The normal attributes for Grade F Supers ranged from 10 to 60 attribute points, 100 to 600 for Grade E, 800 to 2000 for Grade D, 5000 to 15000 for Grade C, 25000 to 40000 for Grade B, while it was 60000 to 120000 for Cmity Grades.


    Grade A Supers be Grade A+ after most of their attributes increase past the 110,000 marks to the 120,000, exceeding the threshold.


    Yet, as a new Cmity Grade, Legs already had 2 attributes above the 120,000 marks, his vitality and intelligence werepletely ridiculous.


    All these were a result of his hard work and perseverance for 50 years.


    All this was a result of his cmity path.


    This was what he had been striving for.


    "Master".


    "¡­"


    "¡­"


    "¡­..!" Listening to that wording from a Red Deacon felt to them like the world wasing to an end, Ghost and Gaufrid were going crazy!


    They stared at him shocked andpletely petrified.


    "W-what will you do to us?" Ghost stammered at this moment as he entered a defensive stance though he knew it didn''t really matter.


    "Master, orders". Legs'' new tamed beast demanded.


    "¡­" For a few seconds, Legs did not answer as he just looked ahead.


    Then he finally spoke. "I already signed a soul contract, I don''t intend to go back on the contract terms, besides I never had any intentions of killing you". He finally looked at the 2 beasts of the Beast Coalition.


    "Like I told you, I sympathized with the beasts just the same way that I sympathized with the innocent Naks and Ackermanns, all I want is a middle ground where a notion of peace can reign".


    "Ghost, you indirectly helped me get a powerful new tamed beast so for that I''ll spare you for what you did but¡­," His eyes narrowed. "Never try such a stunt with me again".


    Then Legs finally focused on the Beast King.


    "Gaufrid, if you are ready, let''s stop the war".


    Hearing those words, Gaufrid heaved a sigh of relief, then a smile suddenly appeared on his face.


    "What happened?" Legs inquired.


    "Nothing," Gaufrid chuckled. "You just remind me of someone that Ancestor once told me about, a human he said he deeply respected".


    "A human?" Legs was interested. "What is his name?"


    Gaufrid smiled as he remembered that moment with his mentor. "His name?"


    "His name is Gigachad".

    ----


    It was already a year since the war of Races.


    After bing a Cmity Grade Super, the oue of the war became more or less concluded as Legs found a way to return back to the war alongside the Beast King and the Espionage Priest.


    Throughout, Ghost had a sad look of resignation on his face.


    With Legs'' return, the rabid battle that kickstarted after his kidnap was stopped as all the participants of the war stared at him in shock.


    He was no longer the same Legs that was kidnapped.


    As a Cmity Grade, his aura was overbearing.


    Even the strongest Cmity Grades of this war including George, the Snow Monkey and Fleet Warlord Elyon felt that they would not win in a one-on-one battle, that was how ridiculously powerful Legs'' cmity path made him.


    Like someone said a few weeks back, his existence in this world was an anomaly in itself, he was just an impossible existence.


    As soon as the war came to an end, what followed was straightforward.


    It was inevitable, a sacrifice was needed to herald the peace and Gaufrid already epted his fate as he presented his head before the de.


    Gaufrid''sst words. "It is an honor to die to your de".


    "s, freedom¡­"


    Whoosh!


    Legs ruthlessly separated the Demonic Lion''s head from his body.


    As blood gushed out even asplicated emotions spread across the whole Minerva Star System, the wind of freedom finally became unshackled to blow.


    Led by Legs, this wind blew everywhere.


    He was already shackled by the soul contract and he had no intentions of going against it in the first ce. Legs fulfilled his part of the bargain as the Nak and Ackermann States gave a portion of their territory for the new Beast Empire.


    The new Emperor of the Beast Empire was a young Golden Lion, a beast who lived long enough to witness the Beast Coalition but was not influenced by it.


    Holdem, the Golden Lion was the beast to lead the others to the new era being directed by the blowing wind of freedom, to an era without beast very.


    All the goals of the war were achieved.


    The Nak and Ackermann States no longer had to suffer and they won the war with as less casualties as possible, the only price they had to pay was the tiny part of their territory that they gave to the new Beast Empire.


    And at the same time, new policies were made with strict punishments.


    Beast ve trade was officially abolished across the Minerva Star System.


    If caught engaging in it, the penalty was death.


    After the war, Legs became a legend of the Minerva Star System as his heroics during the war were broadcasted across everywhere.


    He was the one that orchestrated, led, and ended the war.


    Naks and Ackermanns saw him as a hero, the beasts also saw him as a hero, he heralded a new era of coexistence into the Minerva Star System.


    Of all the participants of the war though, Legs was arguably the one who benefited most as not only did he get the inspiration he needed to be a Cmity Grade, he also assimted the high officials of the Beast Coalition.


    He now had an army of Cmity Grades at his beck and call.


    A month after the Red Deacon became his newest tamed beast, Legs saw a soul burst out of his tamed beast''s body to face him.


    He recognized the existence''s soul that came out, it was him, ElKing.


    ElKing was a gigantic Dragon with 2 long and pitch-ck horns.


    With narrowed eyes, his soul stared at the human. "The audacity!"


    "You dared to tame my Red Deacon!"


    "Yes". Legs looked up at this existence fearlessly.


    He alreadypleted his cmity path, paving the way for his journey to the top so he no longer felt any obligations to stay passive.


    "You''ll be the next tamed beast in my collection".


    "¡­!" The gigantic Dragon was stunned.


    "Muahahaha¡­!" He cackled maniacally.


    "Legs Baron huh? I love your guts; I will remember you".


    "Leave your backwater Star System, you''re just a big fish in a pond here. Enter the universe ande confront me, I''ll be waiting for you to turn me into your next tamed beast".


    "I won''t disappoint you". Legs stared back at him fearlessly.


    That day, Legs'' new Cmity Grade subordinates developed a new fear for him and it was that day that he revealed his true ambitions to them.


    [Blueprint- Star Radler!]


    [List of Resources needed:]


    [1. Adamantium Steel- Acquired]


    [2. Space Whale Dust- Pending]


    [3. Core of a Giant Star- Acquired]


    [4. ¡­]

    [475. AGZ- 17 Globemaster]


    [476. AR- 47; A.K.A Harbinger of Death of the Crimson Dynasty!]


    Legs got the blueprint after he became a Cmity Grade Super.


    Their eyes widened in shock. "What is that?"


    "This is why I recruited all of you, it is the blueprint of a spaceship, a special spaceship unlike anyone you''ve seen before".


    "I want to repair it".


    Their eyes widened even more as they looked at the list again. "476 resources to repair it and all of them are extremely rare and invaluable resources, how do you intend to get them all?"


    "By bing the new Gigachad". Legs grinned.


    "I need to repair it". He mused.


    "To get answers, I need it".


    "But¡­," George interjected again. "Number 474, 475, and 476, those are the core of theary defense measures of the capitals of the Azure Pantheon, the Warlord Alliance, and the Crimson Dynasty".


    This Monkey''s eyes twitched. "How do you expect to get that?"


    "By bing Gigachad," Legs chuckled. "Just have faith in me, we''ll do it if we give it our all".


    "Get prepared, in a few months, we''ll be going to the Azure Auction".


    "There, we''ll be able to get some of what we need".


    As his new subordinates ruminated over the secret that he just revealed to them, Legs sat cross-legged the next moment as he sank into his own world.


    Locked in there, he kept on doing his thing.


    After the war and his new batch of ss knowledge for his farm crops in the form of the yers, the yields were much every single day.


    Now was the time to spend.

    Legs was growing stronger at a terrifying rate.


    ''With the Experience Points from the yers, at this rate, all I need is a few more years to cross over to the mythical Beyond Grade A level''. His eyes gleamed.


    ''Maximus, I''m close now''.

 Chapter 644 Gathering resources [1]

    Chapter 644 Gathering resources [1]


    8 monthster, a week to the Azure auction...


    In a trade of the Gundogan High Race, one of the most famouss in the Gundogan Star Cluster, a worthy of housing a branch of the famous Globe Canon Gctic Bank, there was a robbery.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Doppelganger Substitution!


    ----


    In just a few seconds, the tight securitywork of this went into high alert as the most notorious pirate in the territories of the Gundogan High Race in recent months was detected.


    Inside themand center of the security unit, a stern-faced General with a thick moustache stared at the virtual projections before him.


    "The audacity!"


    "How dare he show his face here?"


    "The High Commandos were not deployed against them previously because they mostly operated in our lowers, but they dare show here this time?!"


    "This is a goddamn f*cking High!"


    This General fumed but he was able to stay calm after. "If he is here, it means his pirate crew will not be far behind".


    "This is a Highmand!"


    "Tell the High Commandos that under the authority of the High Lords, I deploy them to battle to curb these annoying pirates!"


    "Yes, General!"


    The High Commandos were the highest fighting force of the Gundogan High Race, and they were only deployed during battles that involved the fate of the Gundogan High Race.


    Every unit of High Commandoes was an absolute demolition unit.


    Deploying the High Commandos at this moment showed how notorious the Straw Hat Pirates already became.


    Yes, it was the Straw Hat Pirates and their captain?


    Their captain was Legs but not the Legs known in the Minerva Star System, it was Legs'' 2nd identity that he entered the Gundogan Star Cluster with.


    Legs'' new identity in this Star Cluster was Straw Hat Goffy.


    His reason. ''Hehe, if Maximus can create his own unique identity and be notorious with it, why can''t I?''


    ''If he can be Gigachad, then I can be Straw Hat Goffy!''


    After the end of Version 3 storyline, Legs finally achieved the foundation to pursue his goals. At the moment, all he needed was resources and experience points in bulk to achieve his 2 foremost goals.


    The first was to be a Beyond Grade A Super as fast as possible.


    With his crazy cmity path and with the constant stream of experience points from the high spending yers, this was not difficult.


    His 2nd goal was to get all the resources required to repair the Star Radler, and this was his hardest goal by far.


    Repairing the Star Radler was his way to achieve his ultimate goal, to finally find the truth behind everything that happened after that explosion in his previous work ce and potentially, to know the secret of reincarnation.


    Repairing the Star Radler was his way to reunite with Maximus.


    The Star Radler was his only active connection to Earth at this moment and all the mysteries surrounding his reincarnation, Legs was determined to do everything in his power to achieve his goal.


    This was the reason why he recruited the beasts of the Beast Coalition.


    This was the reason why he created the Straw Hat Pirates.


    Since his battle style would be recognized, including the beasts, he forged a story before leaving the Minerva Star System.


    A year after ending the war of Races, Legs finally revealed his true colors and ambition as he stole the ancient relic of the Nak State, the Lightning Rod.


    The Lightning Rod was a Universal treasure of the Nak State, the back bone and most notorious trump card of the Nak State to be used in war.


    The Universal treasure was his goal all along.


    Legs stole it and took off with his mercenary group alongside his new subordinates, creating the pirate group in the process.


    He was now an ouw wanted by the Gundogan High Race.


    Bing the enemy of a Star Cluster Civilization was suicide to 90% of humans across the universe but not Legs, he was unique.


    He was different.


    For the past few months, across the incredibly rich territories of the Gundogan High Race, he and his subordinates wreaked havoc, stealing high-value resources while robbing banks rampantly.


    This ransacking finally culminated in this moment, the robbery of the century.


    No one dares to rob a Globe Canon Gctic Bank.


    Well, Straw Hat Goffy does.


    "George, Angenton, do your thing".


    "Yes, Captain".


    The High Commandoes were only deployed when at 2 high profile locations of this trade hub, 2 beasts started wreaking havoc.


    It would have felt awesome wielding the Lightning Rod of Ancient Nak himself but Legs didn''t, he knew that someone in his pirate crew could bring out more of the incredible power of this Universal treasure.


    George was the one fated to wield the Lightning Rod.


    And Legs gave it to him for another reason. He and Angenton were the only ones he saw with the potential of bing Beyond Grade As.


    "Primate Power: Golden Staff!"


    "Primate Power: Golden Armor!"


    "Self-Created Magic Ability: One-Inch Push!"


    "Self-Created Magic Ability: Lightning Net- Destruction!"


    George started it and Angentonplimented it.


    "Self-Created Ability: Antimatter Domain!"


    BZZZ!


    They were just 2 Cmity Grades but both of them were enough to stall the army of 12 Cmity Grade Supers that were deployed by the Gundogan General.


    The power of a Universal treasure was just that ridiculous.


    Another reason for these 2 beast''s powers was that under Legs'' tutge as he made use of the advantages of his system, he helped them to be stronger even faster to fully realize their potential.


    With Angenton and George attracting all the attention, the Straw Hat Pirates achieved the impossible as led by their captain, they sessfully robbed a Globe Canon Gctic Bank.


    They left this trillions of gctic credits richer.


    Worst of all was that none of them died in the robbery.


    Legs'' n was simply full proof.


    After that attack, Legs'' bounty rose to an incredible level of 10 billion Gctic Credits but in his system, it only recorded as more notoriety and renown.


    After that robbery, the Straw Hat Pirates also entered the radar of the Azure Pantheon for the first time.


    Amid all the scrutiny, the Azure auction finally came.


    That day, a dignified-looking middle-aged human on a wine-colored suit with a VIP ticket swaggered his way into the auction and be one of the highest spending VIPs by the end of the auction.


    By the end of the Azure auction, Legs spent a chunk of the money that they stole, acquiring a lot of resources for the Star Radler''s restoration.


    ''Just a little more now¡­''

 Chapter 645 Gathering resources [2]

    Chapter 645 Gathering resources [2]


    2 years after the Azure auction¡­


    The Nightmare mercenary group under the banner of the Straw Hat Pirates weed their first Cmity Grade Super.


    After decades of working towards it, de became the first among Legs'' 2 students to achieve apotheosis, bing a Cmity Grade.


    This achievement pushed Christensen and Uranus to work even harder.


    While all these happened, Legs went one step closer to his goal each time as they kept on stealing, robbing, and buying the resources that he needed.


    It was already more than 3 years since Version 3 came to an end.


    And finally, the new update was scheduled.


    Legs had doubts though. ''I wonder what Version 4 is''.


    ''In my previous life, it''s the version called the Psychic Revolution but with my interventions so far and my future ns, I doubt it''ll follow that same route''.


    ''Gaufrid was a major yer of the Psychic Revolution but he''s dead''.


    ''Besides, even if Gaufrid didn''t die, I have no intentions of letting things go ording to history''.


    ''Now, I''m the new Gigachad of this era''.


    ''It''s up to me to change history''.


    ''Well, I''ll rewrite history, it sounds better that way''.


    ''Besides, the break before Version 4 in my previous lifested 100 years. If it''s the same in this world, I doubt the yers will get to see me anymore''.


    ''ording to the seer, he said Maximus left this reality after getting to the peak of power''.


    ''Who knows? Maybe I''ll experience the same thing''.


    ''I don''t know though; I''ll just take it as ites''.

    Like it happened years ago, all the yers disappeared out of the game after an exciting Version 3 involving the Beast Coalition where for the 3rd time, Legs the NPC took centerstage, deciding the oue.


    By now, Legs was already a legendary figure to the yers.


    The yers left but Legs was not starved. They only left after he did his best to suck them as much as possible of their experience points.


    Life moved on after the yers.

    ----


    Legs''bat power and overall power level improved steadily.


    With the absence of the yers, he finally started taking on different missions. Getting experience points as a viin was the easiest way in Dominator.


    As the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, he farmed XP like its importance was as oxygen to a normal human.


    On that schedule while still finding resources, time passed.


    ¡­


    3 yearster, Legs became a Grade A+ Super.


    That same year that he made the achievement, Uranus finally made the big jump, bing the next Cmity Grade Super of the Nightmare mercenary group.


    Sonia made the jump 2 yearster alongside Christensen.


    6 more yearster, Nagana also made the big jump to be the newest Cmity Grade Super of the Nightmare mercenary group.


    lights¦­¦Ïvel Now, alongside Legs and not adding the Cmity Grades of the Straw Hat Pirates, the Nightmare mercenary group now had 6 Cmity Grades.


    Alongside the Straw Hat Pirates, they were a force to be reckoned with.


    From the Gundogan Star Cluster, Legs soon graduated to multiple Star Clusters as the Straw Hats'' reputation became even more notorious.


    All the while, he kept on proving his incredible battle strength in battle, defeating some highly renowned and formidable Cmity Grades to the extent that he got his first recruitment message from a true powerhouse organization.


    BEEP!


    [NEW! 1 Unread Message!]


    [Sender: ck Agent of the A.Z]


    At the end of the A.Z, there was the symbol of a Tiger standing amid an ocean of mes. Most people won''t recognize the symbol but Legs did.


    This was the symbol representing the dark side of the Azure Pantheon.


    The contents of the message?


    It was an acknowledgement message that the Azure Pantheon respected his strength and were willing to recruit him.


    If he epted, he would be groomed to be a powerful Beyond Grade A that would fight on behalf of the Azure Pantheon in the future.


    If he refused, the strongest Grade A+ Assassins of the Azure Pantheon will be sent after him to get his head and use him as an example.


    Legs'' reaction to the message?


    "Hehe, bring it on!"


    "I was beginning to run out of sparing partners".


    3 deadly assassins were secretly sent after him across the period of the next 5 years as he never replied the message which indicated his rejection.


    Each time that the assassins came, Legs was pushed to an edge due to the unconventional abilities of the assassins but each time, he annihted them once he figured them out.


    After the 5th assassin death, the Azure Pantheon admitted defeat.


    They didn''t have that many Cmity Grade Assassins to send to the grave, Legs becamebelled as a special grade ouw, a rare breed of ouws that even Universal Civilizations needed to treat with caution.


    All the while, Legs kept up his objective of gathering resources.


    By now, more than 80% of the resources needed to repair the Star Radler were already gathered. The others were incredibly rare and immense danger was involved to get them; his momentum finally slowed down.


    It was at this moment that Legs changed his priorities.


    He focused on only his strength.


    This was when he also sought Lucky out after so many years. Entering the floating of the Illusion Emperor, Legs spoke with Lucky''s master.


    Under Lucky''s urging, the Illusion Emperor consented as Legs received an opportunity to improve his strength even further there before he finally left with his first beastpanion since reincarnating into the world of Dominator.


    Alongside Lucky, Legs kept on seeking more power.


    ¡­


    A long timeter¡­


    By now, it was already 30 years since the update for Version 4 was scheduled and finally, after singlehandedly killing a Grade A+ Space Whale for the first time, Legs finally got the required momentum to upgrade his existence.

    BOOM!


    Legs'' breakthrough started inside a hidden underground bunker inside one of the deserteds in the territory of the Gundogan High Race.


    As soon as his breakthrough started, the reinforced walls of the hidden underground bunker creaked under the force of the sheer energy in disy.


    BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!


    Warning signals reverberated across the temporary base of the Straw Hat Pirates as they employed the emergency methods that they prepared ahead of time, they wanted to prevent the energy fluctuations of the ongoing breakthrough from going out.


    While they did all this, their leader underwent a total transformation that even affected his life essence.


    Legs felt like he was being born again under the influence of the mana, temporal energies and telekinesis energies that surrounded him and worked on him.


    He was encased by a cocoon of golden energy as the transformation continued for minutes even as his energy level and life essence kept on increasing.


    20 minutes after his breakthrough started, hisw domain appeared.


    BZZZZ!


    Thew domain waspletely green.


    Aw domain was unlike anything that a Cmity Grade ever had ess to.


    Legs''w domain was so powerful and expansive that it stretched for millions of kilometers, covering this whole and beyond in its territory.


    Inside this territory, Legs was God.


    Inside his territory, the naturalws of the universe became secondary, thews that he imposed became the new natural.


    Legs'' breakthrough wasplete.


    He felt liberated andplete, he grinned. "Finally!"


    "Finally, I''m a f*cking Beyond Grade A Super!"


    Due to his Supreme talents, his health points experienced the most increase as all his stats rose to ridiculous heights.


    Legs'' attention first went to the new abilities gained from hisw domain.


    The specialw ability, Law Maniption enabled him to manipte the naturalws in his domain.


    It required him to speak out on the neww that he wanted to create and with his will, his intentions would be the new naturalw.


    This was a power that already exceeded the limits of nature and the universe.


    This was a power that defied the universe.


    It was what differentiated Cmity Grades from Beyond Grade As. And it was why a single Beyond Grade A could eliminate hundreds of Cmity Grades without breaking a sweat.


    Inside thew domain of a Beyond Grade A Super, anything weaker was nothing but just prey.


    As for the 2nd specialw ability that he gained, Law Suppression was more or less a passive ability of hisw domain.


    It enabled hisw domain to instinctively suppress the power of anything within its jurisdiction that he didn''t view as an ally.


    This was why it was paramount to never cheat on Beyond Grade As.


    As a woman, bing the wife of a Beyond Grade A was a double-edged sword since the day you make him unhappy, if hisw domain makes the mistake of categorizing you as not an ally due to that, you''re dead meat.


    Legs now gained this OP ability.


    As for thest of the specialw ability series, Legs was now recognized as one of the peak Summoners of the universe, an Emperor Summoner.


    As an Emperor Summoner, through the power of hisw domain, Legs could now create any beast that he wanted from his imagination.


    All he needed was simply calling on the beast toe to life and since he was God in his domain, the beast would appear.


    This was the ultimate ability of the strongest Summoners; the Emperor Summoners and your imagination was only shackled by your Summoner energy.


    Legs grinned. "I feel¡­ good".


    He finally decided to check his new status.

    ----


    Legs grinned. "Hehe¡­," He chuckled.


    He wanted to cackle like a maniac, he wanted to feel like Clown of Version 1, he finally understood why viins cackle so much.


    That feeling after you''ve achieved your goal after an incredibly long time of working towards it, the feeling to celebrate by cackling inughter like a maniac was too enticing to ignore.


    He struggled to hold himself back but distraction soon came.


    BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!


    Warning alerts rang through this base as they jerked to action.


    Legs looked up and saw them, the familiar golden-colored disc-shaped warships of the Gundogan High Race.


    They probably were on patrol and detected the unusual energy fluctuations from Legs'' breakthrough and was why they came to check.


    An interested look crept up Legs'' face as he looked at them.


    He raised his hand and looked at it, then he spoke.


    "Law Domain!"


    BZZZ!


    His green energy erupted, forming thew domain as it instantly engulfed all the surroundings of this.


    He looked up at the warships. "Plummet!"


    Thew kicked in and instantly, gravity went against all the warships.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    All 10 or so warships plummeted to the, exploding in the process.


    Looking at the aftermath, Legs grinned.


    He cackled. "Muahahahaha¡­!"


    "Hahahaha¡­!"

 Chapter 647 Meeting ElKing

    Chapter 647 Meeting ElKing


    Being one of the 3 Universal Civilizations ruling the universe, the capital of the Crimson Dynasty was incredible, reflecting majesty and might.


    There were 3 zones to this, the outer zone, the inner zone, and the core zone where only the most important individuals of the Crimson Dynasty had ess to.


    The outer zone that was open to outsiders was where the trade hub and meeting spots among all the powers of the universe was located.


    All other civilizations across the universe sucked up to the 3 Universal Civilizations, the traffic in Crimson Aegis'' outer zone was always boisterous, President Dunk of Nak State came here long ago when he was younger.


    The Azure Pantheon was the most superstitious of the 3 universe rulers.


    The Warlord Alliance was the most militaristic of the 3.


    As for the Crimson Dynasty, they stood at the middle, being the most logical and profit-based of the 3 ruling powers of the universe.


    Their leader was called the Crimson Monarch and the election for new Crimson Monarchsmence every half a millennium.


    The current ruler of the Crimson Dynasty was a woman.


    At this moment, inside the office of the Crimson Monarch that reflected majesty in a simple yet practical manner, one of the 3 most powerful individuals in the universe worked as she looked through multiple papers rapidly.


    Standing behind her but invisible to the naked eye was 1 of the 2 core protectors of the Crimson Dynasty, Amazon Empress Lyta.


    Amazon Empress, that name was known across the universe.


    To many, she was widely regarded as the strongest Magic Warrior of this era.


    Having pursued the twin paths of the Pugilist and Mage Super sses to the maximum, she was one of the strongest Supers in the universe.


    She already forged tons of legends for herself through the years and to many, perhaps only the Stone Emperor of the Warlord Alliance, widely acknowledged as the strongest Pugilist alive could better her in closebat.


    With this warriordy protecting the Crimson Monarch always, few dared to even think about assassinating her.


    A lot of precedents have been used as examples.


    Powerful Beyond Grade A Assassins who made names for themselves already tried, but none of them ever lived to tell the story after seeing the Amazon Empress''s Ancient Magic Spear which was a Universal treasure.


    As she flipped through the books, the Crimson Monarch suddenly paused.


    "Hmmm, Straw Hat Goffy¡­, that name sounds familiar". Her eyes narrowed.


    "Lyta, does that ring a bell?"


    Whoosh!


    She finally came out of the shadows where she hid, training all-day. "No, your Excellency, I have never heard of that name".


    Opening a file, the Crimson Monarch read through it.


    "Hmmm, he was a notorious pirate in the Gundogan Star Cluster before bing a Beyond Grade A Super just 5 years ago".


    "During those 5 years, he already built a name for himself".


    Her eyes widened. "He''s the one who dethroned Amak".


    "The promising Mechanic that was allied to the Azure Pantheon?" Lyta asked as she became interested.


    The Crimson Monarch nodded. "He was one fellow that I really thought could reach for the top of the Beyond Grade A realm".


    "Hmmm, for this Summoner to defeat him, he must be something special".


    "It''s a good thing he is not yet allied to the Azure Pantheon".


    "Tell Magnus, let''s send him an invite, offer to him triple the benefits and privileges that the Azure Pantheon promised to give him".


    The Amazon Empress was silent for a few seconds, then she finally nodded.


    "Understood, your Excellency".


    As the Amazon Empress created a magical sound channel to the Beyond Grade A Super of the Crimson Dynasty responsible for recruitment, the Crimson Monarch could not help but squint her eyes in curiosity as she looked at the file.


    "Straw Hat Goffy¡­"


    "Straw Hat Goffy¡­"


    She rubbed her chin in thought. "Why do I feel like I''ve heard this name somewhere before?"


    ¡­


    Somewhere in an unchartered region of space beyond the territories of the Azure Pantheon, arge capital ship ducked before a hidden space pocket.


    At the entrance of the space pocket, 2 powerful escorts waited.


    These 2 escorts were Cmity Grade Supers.


    "Captain, are you sure about this?" George could not help but ask. "I know how powerful you are but with all due respect, ElKing is widely acknowledged across the universe as one of the strongest of this era".


    "I know". Legs smirked as he looked at his subordinate.


    "I appreciate your concern but don''t worry, I won''t die". He chuckled. "We''ve been together for years; you should know how logical I can be".


    "I would nevere here just to throw my life away".


    George looked at his leader, he hesitated then he nodded.


    The next moment, Legs, now known as Straw Hat Goffy the terrifying Beyond Grade A Pirate came out of his capital ship before entering the space pocket world alongside the 2 Red Deacons.


    Legs made his decision toe here 5 years ago after his breakthrough.


    When he became a Cmity Grade Super, he thought he already saw all that Maximus and his predecessor left for him but to his shock, after bing a Beyond Grade A Super, he saw another letter.


    Another letter written using Englishnguage.


    This time, there was only 3 sentences in the letter.


    >Congrats, you became a Beyond Grade A Super<


    >Your next step is to meet Gagher<


    >Tell him who you truly are<


    Legs was confused at first on seeing the letter.


    After doing a lot of research that spanned 3 years, he discovered a shocking truth, Gagher was the name that a certain infamous Beyond Grade A Super answered until more than 300 years ago.


    This infamous Beyond Grade A Super was ElKing, the Lord of Elementalists.


    Entering this space pocket world, Legs was exposed to the headquarters of the ElKing pirates, their haven of operation.


    The space pocket world exined why the Azure Pantheon never managed to pin them down despite using so much of their intelligence prowess to find them.


    His smooth entry here also gave Legs hints about the truth.


    He was led straight to the throne of the notorious pirate, ElKing.


    "Guguguggu¡­!" He growled barbarically as he emptied another drum of quality beer down his throat.


    "Gugugugug¡­!" He cackled as he drank.


    ElKing was a notorious drunkard.


    As soon as Legs arrived, the 2 Red Deacons who led him here left, leaving him alone with the leader of the ElKing Pirates.


    Through his spirit sense, Endrick could tell that ElKing was drunk but at the same time, he could tell that this notorious Elementalist already noticed him since and was actually paying attention to him now.


    "I never wanted to believe it but meeting you confirms it".


    "You became a Beyond Grade A Super just 5 years ago yet from your presence, I can tell that you canst 5 minutes against me".


    "Not many can do that". ElKing turned to face the Summoner.


    His face was hideous and rough. Like his Red Deacons, he was a member of the Demon race, evident by his 2 long red horns.


    "I should have known long ago".


    "First, you bing only the 2nd Super from the Minerva Star System to have such talent should have made me seen the connection between you and him".


    "Second, looking back, you also came from the Roronoa Star System".


    "Third, like he guessed, you''re a Summoner".


    Legs was silent throughout as this demon spoke as a lot of thoughts went through his mind, he didn''t want to jump to any conclusions.


    "Gugugugu¡­!" ElKing downed another bottle of the beer.


    ElKing threw the drum away as he went to sit on his throne then with a hand on his chin, he focused on the human. "You''ve read Maximus'' letter right¡­, Earthling?!"


    "¡­!" Legs'' eyes widened.


    "Who are you?"

 Chapter 648 The raid of the century! [1]

    Chapter 648 The raid of the century! [1]


    "You''ve read Maximus'' letter right¡­, Earthling?"


    "¡­!" Legs'' eyes widened.


    "Who are you?"


    "Who am I?" ElKing looked up as heughed, materializing another drum of beer and siphoning it all down his seemingly bottomless stomach.


    "Gugugugug¡­!" He cackled.


    "Many call me ElKing, the Lord of all Elementalists".


    "I am the only Elementalist in this era to unlock all 4 main elemental affinities of fire, earth, water, and wind".


    "I am the leader of the ElKing Pirates".


    "All these are my identities but there is another identity that many do not know about," He looked at the human. "I was Maximus'' best friend".


    Legs'' eyes widened in shock, he finally understood.


    He finally also understood why Maximus directed him to go meet this ridiculously powerful Super, the strongest Elementalist in the universe.


    "About how I met Maximus, it''splicated". ElKing downed another drum of beer. "My was raided by an overpampered Star Cluster level civilization''s Prince entourage, a spoiled prince who thought of using my home of unique Demon races as an experimentb".


    "Most died to his crazy experiments, I would have died also until Maximus came".


    ElKing''s eyes squinted at this moment as memories seemed to sh through his head. "I''ve never seen a Pugilist as strong as him".


    "With one punch, Maximus destroyed state of the art warships".


    "After that day, I pledged my life and existence to him".


    "I served him until thest day he left this reality".


    "That day, like the seer, I wanted to stay and fight alongside him till thest moment but he refused. ording to him, it was too dangerous for me".


    "That f*cker!" ElKing got angry as he downed another drum of beer.


    "I wish he can see me now, I''m the strongest Elementalist alive!"


    "I fear no one!"


    "How dare he tell me it''s too dangerous for me?" ElKing downed another drum of beer out of frustration and anger, this was when he finally noticed how awkward the atmosphere was at this moment.


    "Ahem¡­," He coughed, rubbing his nose awkwardly.


    "Anyways, that day that he left, he gave me a mission".


    "He believed that another Earthling wille and will have the same or even better talent than he did, he also calcted that you would most likely be a Summoner".


    "As for the mission that he gave me¡­," ElKing inclined his head to look at Legs. "Your journey was fated to be the smoothest of the 3 Earthlings".


    "I already have aplete n for the raid of the century". ElKing grinned.


    "The raid of the century?"


    This notorious pirate nodded. "The raid to steal the core of theary defense measures of the 3 hegemons, you know how long I''ve waited for it?"


    "¡­" Legs'' eyes widened even further.


    "Gugugugugu¡­!" ElKing cackled as he downed another drum of beer.


    "Also, tell me anything in the list that you''re yet to acquire. I may be a pirate but I am one of the strongest Beyond Grade As alive".


    "My influence and connections are immense".


    "I will help you get them all during the preparation time for the raid".


    "Lastly, like Maximus ordered, I gathered millions of the immortals, those set of unique existences that Maximus called yers".


    "They disappeared after Maximus left this reality but he predicted it and he also predicted their return".


    "I''ve been giving them missions since their 2nd appearance like he predicted, their reappearance was proof that you indeed came into this reality".


    "Don''t worry, you have enough experience points to reach the peak of this universe within the next 2 to 5 years".


    "¡­!" Legs'' eyes widened even further into saucers.


    ''This is too good to be true!''


    It took a few deep breaths for him to calm down. "You''ve been using the term reality since and I can''t help but think, since you know so much, do you also know the mystery behind my reincarnation and exactly what Dominator is?"


    "¡­" ElKing just looked at Legs for seconds with a wide grin on his face.


    Then he stood up. "You''ll know when you get to the peak of this reality".


    "We have no time, start getting prepared".


    Legs took a deep breath to calm his rapidly beating heart.


    Meeting ElKing was an even more shocking event than he expected, itpletely brought an upheaval to all his ns, rapidly elerating everything.


    Though he wanted to know everything now, since ElKing didn''t feel like telling him, he settled for waiting till he became strong enough.


    ''Perhaps, learning the truth myself will be even more satisfying''.


    He no longer hesitated.


    The Straw Hat Pirates entered the space pocket world of the ElKing Pirates a few minutester where they got the news that both pirate crews just became allies, and this was when Legs got the juicy good that he wanted.


    -----


    [Congrattions! You have received an XP inheritance!]


    [Are you willing to im XP?]


    ----


    Legs grinned. "Yes".


    Notifications instantly spammed his face as hundreds of trillions of XP started being credited into his ount, Legs grinned like a mad man throughout.


    Without hesitation, he started his leveling up process.


    ¡­


    5 yearster¡­


    The uprising and infamous Straw Hat Pirates seemed to enter a state of hiatus as for 5 years nothing was heard of them, it was like they just disappeared.


    During this period, rtive peace existed in the territories of the Azure Pantheon, everyone seemed to forget about Straw Hat Goffy.


    Unknown to them, this pirate rapidly leveled up in the dark. Within just 5 years, Legs was able to level up to the peak of the Grade S realm.


    Hisw domain finally unlocked a connection with this universe, increasing his power to a whole other level as a lot of mysteries became revealed to him yet, the core mysteries that he wanted to know remained mysteries.


    Legs remained patient though, this was because he would get what he wanted soon. Afterall, it was time for the raid of the century.


    That day, the capital of the Azure Pantheon, Temple of the Azure Gods witnessed a humiliating moment that reminded of the days of Gigachad.


    "GUGUGUGUGUG¡­!" Cackling maniacally, the crazy ElKing led his pirates as theyunched an all-out attack against the headquarters of the Azure Pantheon.


    The attack came so fast and so unexpectedly, the Azure Pantheon could barely react yet they had one of the strongest Supers in the universe here.


    "Law Domain: Soul Realm- Ovep!"


    BZZZ!


    "How dare you invade into my domain?!"


    Soul Emperor Clorex was angered but the Lord of Elementalists did not back down. Downing a drum of beer, he cackled maniacally as his apocalyptic mana erupted like an unstoppable avnche, covering this whole.


    lights¦­¦Ïvel "Law Domain: Realm- Elemental Infusion!"


    This was a battle that already transcended the realities of this universe.


    Everything that happened could not beprehended by those that were weaker, peak Beyond Grade As in their domains were literally Gods.


    The eerie yellow color of the Soul Emperor fluctuated as countless different beasts from the Soul Realm invaded into reality, fighting in battle alongside him.


    As for ElKing, elemental creatures of his imagination came to life even as he became an Elemental demonic lifeform himself, jumping into battle.


    The battle intensity was crazy.


    With ElKing tying the Soul Emperor down, the real protagonist got to do what he needed to do,pletely catching the Azure Pantheon off-guard.


    ----


    [Effects of Title has been triggered: Legendary Thief!]


    ----


    He was already a legendary figure among pirates.


    Today, he became a legendary figure among thieves.


    On this day, Straw Hat Goffy became only the 2nd existence in the history of this universe after Gigachad to steal publicly from the Azure Pantheon.


    Legs got 1 out of his 3 foremost goals, the core of theary defense measure of the Azure Pantheon, the AG-19 also known as the Azure Zeus.


    History was written on this day.


    Yet more history was to be written.

 Chapter 649 The raid of the century! [2]

    Chapter 649 The raid of the century! [2]


    2 hours after the raid on the capital of Azure Pantheon, while the territories of this universal civilization spanning multiple star clusters were thrown in a frenzy as the Azure Pantheon was angered, more history was to be made.


    Since unlike the other 2 Universal Civilizations, the Warlord Alliance was an alliance of multiple powers and civilizations that came together to form one powerful organization, they had multiple capitals, precisely 12.


    Apart from the 12 though, there was one widely recognized as the core capital where all 12 civilizations gather for important meetings.


    All 5 represented the 4 main Elemental affinities and the core ethereal affinity of the super world, the mystic soul affinity.


    No one could pass through all 5 defensive measures of the Globemaster ande out unscathed, this was why ElKing kidnapped and hired some of the mostpetent virtual mechanics of the universe over time during his reign.


    The virtual mechanics were the ones in charge of the mission.


    As for ElKing and Straw Hat Goffy, they fought.


    "Law Domain: Emperor Summoner- Imperious Jurisdiction!"


    BZZZ!


    Legs asked for ElKing for the opportunity which the strongest Elementalist alive dly gave, he also wanted to see how powerful his best friend''s heir was.


    Legs got the chance to battle against the strongest Pugilist alive.


    "Law Domain: War- Infinite Ammunition!"


    The incredibly heavy and muscr Pugilist unleashed his domain, a domain that coated him with such thick and heavy armor that it seemed to have infinite durability and granted him infinite stamina.


    "Straw Hat Goffy¡­, I shall make you regret the wrong choice that you made!"


    He punched and the universe seemed to bend to his will.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    It was another apocalyptic fight this historic day.


    Feeling the immense power behind the punches, Legs did not flinch as his imagination created some of the most terrifying beasts imaginable that charged out of hisw domain, protecting him from the punches.


    Then, he did it.


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast Integration!


    You have activated active ability: Beast Amalgamation- Partial Form!


    You have activated active ability: Beast Amalgamation- Final Form!


    You have created a new final form: Frankenstein Model- Rage Monster!


    You have activated Special Bloodline Ability: Temporal Control- Pause!


    You have activated Special Bloodline Ability: Temporal Control- eleration!


    You have activated Special Bloodline Ability: Rewind; Degradation!


    You have activated Special Bloodline Ability: Temporal Destruction- Temporal Bomb!


    ----


    Legs was no longer restricted to only fusing with his contracted beasts.


    He could fuse with any beast he wanted, including those he imagined and created through his authority in hisw domain as a God and Emperor Summoner.


    Amalgamating with over a hundred beasts, Legs was able to create apletely Frankensteinish monster that dripped with a Hippo''s freakish rage.


    Besides, 2 years ago, through ElKing''s resources, Legs was able to meet up with one of the most powerful Beyond Grade A Mechanics alive who upgraded all his weapons, including the Obsidian Spear to the base Universal treasure level.


    In his new form, when Legs stabbed his spear through space, reality fragmented before his totally ridiculous power.


    CRACK¡­!


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Their battlested a long 30 minutes of absolute destruction and throughout, Legs was the one who always had the advantage though the Stone Emperor was able to give him a good fight.


    It was paramount to know that this was no mere Beyond Grade A Super.


    This was the Stone Emperor!


    The face of the Warlord Alliance!


    The strongest Pugilist in the Universe!


    And Legs was dominating him!


    Legs established himself at the highest of stages through this battle, history was experiencing some crazy and unprecedented upheavals.


    8 minutester, the virtual mechanics finished their job.


    Legs finally got the Globemaster.


    ¡­


    30 minutester, Crimson Aegis¡­


    The Crimson Dynasty knew what wasing for them, they were prepared, calling upon a bulk of their forces but the antagonists were not deterred.


    Like the OP boss of a Chinese fantasy movie, Straw Hat Goffy imperiously entered the scene again, casually challenging the Amazon Empress to battle.


    Unlike with the Stone Emperor, Legs defeated the Amazon Empress, one of the strongest Supers in the universe after just 15 minutes!


    Time seemed toe to a standstill as the world watched on.


    The world seemed to stop.


    The Crimson Dynasty, one of the 3 hegemonic Universal Civilizations that ruled the universe was forced to its heels by 1 man¡­, Straw Hat Goffy!


    Legs finally acquired thest of the trilogy, AR- 47 that was also known as the Harbinger of Death of the Crimson Dynasty.


    And finally, his preparations for the ultimate repair wereplete.


    BZZZZ!


    Opening a gigantic teleportation portal, this time followed by ElKing as well as Uranus and his 2 students, Legs teleported inside the Star Radler.


    "Find him!" The Crimson Monarch ordered through gritted teeth.


    "Don''t let him leave this reality!"


    "Do everything to stop him!"


    This female Monarch finally understood the familiarity that she felt on reading about this pirate previously. "Straw Hat Goffy my foot!" She cursed.


    "It sounded so familiar because Gigachad mentioned it long ago!"


    "He said if he didn''t like Gigachad better, he would be Straw Hat Luffy!"


    "How did I not make the connection?!" Shemented but it was already a little bit toote even as this universal civilization mobilized their infinite navy and resources to go after the thief and his allies.


    Today''s events would beter known as the raid of the century like ElKing predicted and Straw Hat Goffy was the main protagonist.


    While the outside world was thrown into a frenzy led by the 3 Universal Civilizations, alongside the others, Legs was inside the Star Radler.


    And at this moment, the magical process already started.


    HUM¡­!


    Humming sounds reverberated as the materials that Endrick spent decades gathering rose up, assembling themselves mid-air as the Star Radler kickstarted the ultimate process of repairing itself since all the ingredients it needed were ready.


    With awe in his eyes, ElKing watched this process reverently.


    Uranus, Christensen, and de watched with wide opened eyes filled with fascination; they still couldn''t believe the truth that their master was an existence from outside this world.


    The process of the Star Radler''s repairsted 3 hours.


    By then, the forces of the 3 Universal Civilizations were already here.


    "I will dly give my life if that is what it takes". Proiming this, ElKing jumped outside into space to confront their pursuers.


    Legs could not look elsewhere as ignoring all the magical transformations of this spaceship, his eyes were fixated on the one thing that attracted his attention.


    Another letter!

 Chapter 650 Celestial Summoner

    Chapter 650 Celestial Summoner


    >Congrattions Legs, you finally made it to this point<


    >You''ve made it to the end of the long journey; I wonder if your journey was as adventurous and crazy as mine was<


    >Anyways, you can finally get ess to the full letter<


    ¡­


    >Dear Earthling, if you''re reading this then it means that my theory was sessful and I am not thest reincarnator from earth that will be sent here<


    >Nice to meet you buddy, being an only reincarnator is terrifying<


    >My name is Maximus, I am a professional game developer<


    >I died when an inexplicable explosion ravaged me, my fellow game developers, and our employers on a meeting<


    >Let''s put the introduction aside, let''s get to business. ording to my calctions, there''s a high chance that only those in the explosion had the chance of reincarnation which means you''re either a colleague or my superior<


    >ording to my estimates, you''ll likely inherit my developer package, I created the gray world<


    >Lol, as a game developer and an avid fan of the Lord of the Mysteries book, I wanted to create a simr advantage for myself in the game<


    >F*ck that explosion though, I could not enjoy it before I died<


    >Since reincarnating, my main obsession was discovering the mystery behind reincarnation. I never thought reincarnation was real before I was reincarnated<


    >Reincarnation brought more questions about the nature of our universe. Was the Big Bang Theory just nonsense? Was there really a superior being, a God that created us all and is he the one who made us capable of reincarnation?<


    >Or, is reincarnation simply a natural phenomenon?<


    >If there is a God, why did he make us reincarnate? What is his motive?<


    >I put all my time into finding clues before I left my beginner. I couldn''t find much, but I discovered clues about something else<


    >If I''m not wrong, there was a reincarnator who came before me<


    >My question is are there more reincarnators before me and are there more after me? If you''re reading this, it at least means that there''s more after me<


    >I couldn''t find more clues before I left my beginner<


    >If you''re reading this, I''ll like us to meet one day<


    >When you enter space, look for me. To distinguish myself from others, I gave myself some iconic monikers to use. I go by either Maximus, or Klein Moriarty, or Donald Trump, I doubt others would be connected with all 3 names<


    >Goodluck brother, I really hope we get to meet someday<


    ¡­


    "To my little friend, Legs".


    "If you are reading this letter, it means that the procedure was a sess despite the little glitch and your reincarnation was sessful".


    "My little friend, I''ve been watching you for all 42 years of your life back on earth. Your curiosity to know things is one that baffled even me".


    "Pursuing 3 sessful careers as a zoologist, martial artist, and game developer is impressive, but what is even more impressive is your burning desire and curiosity to know even more".


    "After watching you for 30 years, I included you among my candidates for my ultimate game project. 10 yearster, you sessfully convinced me that you were the one".


    "The little ident that caused your death was caused by me. Others would be angered by this truth, but knowing you, I know that you''ll be grateful for it".


    "In this world of the game that you created, you can fulfill both of our dreams and seek the ultimate limits that unrestrained curiosity can bring".


    "Once you grow strong enough to develop a connection with me, I will watch you closely until you fulfill the boundless potential of curiosity".


    "You can call me¡­, the God of Games".


    "Let the game begin!"


    ¡­


    >Well¡­, it''s me again, Maximus<


    >I''m writing this after I became Gigachad<


    >If everything goes ording to my ns, I will be leaving this reality through the codes I wrote in the Star Radler to an entirely new dimension or reality soon to meet him, the God of Games<


    >Before leaving though, I want to reveal everything to you<


    >The ultimate game project¡­, what is it?<


    >The God of Games¡­, who is he?<


    >So many mysteries and yet no answer<


    >It took me a long time, but I finally managed to piece all the clues together to determine the truth<


    >I''m sorry Legs but¡­, our world is just a game<


    "¡­" Legs felt his heart skip a beat as he read that line.


    >During myst moment before leaving this reality into the higher reality of the Celestials, I managed tomunicate with the consciousness of the God of Games<


    >He is a game developer just like us, the only difference being that he is a Celestial game developer while we were just mortals<


    >There is a threat to the multiverse called the Chaos<


    >To curb the threat, the 10 strongest beings in the multiverse, the Celestials formed an alliance toe up with ways to stop the rapidly spreading Chaos<


    >Some suggested universal wars but the Chaos defeated them<


    >Others suggested negotiations and surrender but the Chaos cannot be negotiated with, they were all devoured<


    >All the Celestials were defeated until only 2 remained<


    >Of the 2 Celestials, one of them proposed to create an ultimate machine that would have the ability to annihte the Chaos while thest of them, the God of Games proposed to use a gaming structure to win the struggle<


    >They disagreed and the Mechanic Celestial carried out his n only to lose again in the end, but during hisst moments he made up for it<


    >He sacrificed his body, giving the God of Games enough fuel to kickstart his project of creating the game that transcends realities<


    >Earth did note to form due to any Big Bang theory sh*t<


    >The f*cking God of Games created Earth as the first iteration of his ultimate game, a deeply wed version of the ultimate game that he envisioned<


    >His end goal was to create new Celestials with attributes that could counter the essence of the Chaos<


    >The God of Games gave a new name to the Chaos; he called it Anti-Magic<


    >The God of Games aimed to create Celestials who were able to wield a power that had properties that were exactly opposite of the Chaos, this property that was opposite that of the Chaos is what we call mana<


    >The God of Games aimed to create the nemesis of the Chaos<


    >Earth though was a wed version of his game<


    >Humans were mortal, weak, and pathetic<


    >The God of Games didn''t give up on them though, he gave them millions of years to live and evolve even as he worked on creating a new iteration of the game<


    >Humanster proved even more useful than he expected, showing incredible intelligence and even giving birth to game developers too<


    >The humans soon served as inspiration for the God of Games<


    >From 2D games, the humans graduated to 3D games before eventually evolving to virtual reality, games that faked transcending reality<


    >That was where the God of Games got his inspiration to create the game that would transcend realities<


    >Humans created Dominator but the God of Games took it as his temte<


    >The Star Radler was created using the body and the remnant machine powers of the Mechanic Celestial, granting humans the ability to write codes and create games that can transcend reality in literal terms<


    >You and I, we created Dominator together alongside our colleagues but through the power of the Star Radler, we were reincarnated here to be the God of Games'' ideal Celestials<


    >Nn, our predecessor became the first Celestial<


    >If I''m not wrong, when I leave this reality, I will officially be a Grade SS Super, the rank that the God of Games call Celestials<


    >This was the God of Games'' intent from the beginning<


    >To create Celestials to fight the evil, the Chaos<


    >I''m done with my journey<


    >Legs, goodluck on yours<


    "¡­"


    "¡­."


    "¡­..!" For a long time, Legs was frozen in shock.


    ''Shocked huh?'' He suddenly heard the voice of ElKing reverberate in his ears. ''Maximus was also shaken bad when he discovered the truth''.


    ''I lost my reason for existing for some time after being told myself''.


    ''It''s hard to ept that your whole life was just a game and it''s even harder to find the will to live on after discovering the truth''.


    ''It''s crazy''.


    For a long time, Legs could not say anything.


    When he finally recovered, he just looked at space, the world around him without saying a word, a lot of thoughts just went through his mind.


    He didn''t even know how he should react.


    The next moment, he faced his students and his godson and he told them the truth. "The world we live in¡­, it''s just a game".


    "¡­!"


    He held nothing back; he told them everything.


    While his godson and his 2 students were still dealing with the shock, Legs took his ce inside the Star Radler. After what felt like forever, Legs was about to embrace his profession as a game developer again.


    Choosing the mythical programmingnguage that the Star Radler provided to him, Legs started writing codes for an additionalyer to the game Dominator.


    Theyer that would enable him to evolve again, bing a Grade SS Celestial to transcend this reality and finally go to the reality of the Celestials where Maximus, Nn, and the God of Games were.


    Hopefully, it was all worth it and they could take down the Chaos.


    The truth still hit him like a hammer but he tried to ignore it.


    "Dad, will you do it?"


    Legs inclined his head to look at his Godson. "I already entered the train; I must see it through to the end".


    "It''s like a story¡­, I already started it and I must finish it".


    The next moment his virtual interface lit up again.


    -----


    [Experience Points have been deducted!]


    [You have leveled up your Emperor Summoner main ss once to level 122!]


    ¡­


    [Experience Points have been deducted!]


    [You have leveled up your Emperor Summoner main ss once to level 123!]


    ¡­


    [XP has been deducted]


    ¡­


    ----


    Experience points came from nowhere, they were XP that Legs programmed with the Star Radler and now, they became reality.


    This was the power of the Star Radler.


    It enabled the creation of Dominator, the Game that transcends realities.


    A few minutester, Legs finally hit the threshold and right there on the spaceship, his breakthroughmenced, reminding the world of Gigachad.


    As his breakthroughmenced, the fabric of reality of this world fragmented, it was like he was bing too heavy for this world to contain him.


    And this was when it triggered, the bridge to the next reality.


    Legs was sucked up in the white light the next moment as he looked back at his godson, his students, and all the friends he made in this world.


    ''What an adventure it was''. He thought.


    -----


    [Congrattions! Your Law Domain has mutated to be a Celestial Domain!]


    [Congrattions! You are now a Grade SS Celestial Summoner!]


    ----


    As Legs left this reality, a few thoughts went through his mind.


    ''F*ck Georges Lemaitre!''


    ''F*ck the Big Bang theory!''


    ''So this universe is actually just a game!''


    ''Damn¡­!''
