Ocean Master
Chapter 305 - A New Journey!

15 minutes after the volcanic eruption, activity was finally detected in the previous location of the ocean volcano.

Crack! Crack! Boom!

A glowing redhead with tall ears that flapped like the wings of an adult Dragon was what first appeared, then red glowing eyes followed as the mighty Rabbit Monarch dug himself out of the debris.

Humph!

This powerful Rabbit stretched his enormous body as his muscles and bones made crackling sounds, then he exhaled as what seemed like radioactive smoke surged out of his nostrils with speed.

The Rabbit Monarch swept his gaze across as he viewed the destruction that was a result of the mighty volcanic eruption that ended minutes ago.

Across a region of hundreds of kilometers, there were little signs of life.

Only a barren wasteland was what lay at the bottom of the ocean in this region. A barren wasteland that was filled with the curse of the magic essence of the millions of organisms that died here today.

The water was muddled, most parts of it already contaminated by the encompassing presence of blood, and was now orangish-red in color.

The glow of the Green Mist Sea remained darkened in this region, showing the amount of damage that the foundation of this region itself suffered.

The results of this volcanic eruption already left a scar that may take centuries to heal or may not even heal till eternity.

The Rabbit Monarch exhaled again as he lifted his enormous body and got prepared to take off back to his empire, his body felt some aches and a burning sensation from the damage that he sustained but he ignored them.

As he was close to the very core of the volcanic eruption, despite his status, despite his horrifying might, he still sustained damage.

The eruption of a dormant volcano that stayed like that for over a millennium was no joke. The fact that he survived despite being so close to the core was already a miracle, it showed more about the strength of Black tier predators.

"At least, I fulfilled my mission".

The Rabbit Monarch muttered as he planned to take the jump that would take him out of this region, but he suddenly frowned and looked down having detected a sudden eruption of magic power.

Ha! 

Boom!

Accompanying a loud feminine shout were the rocks being tyrannically torn open as a female figure dug her way out of the barren wasteland.

Once the Rabbit Monarch saw who it was, his face darkened.

"You fulfilled your mission, which mission? Who are you working for?" The Chosen Athena glowed in a pure white light as she suppressed the severe injuries that filled every corner of her body while she asked.

Her white eyes pinned the Rabbit Monarch down, but the Monarch did not give in as he looked back straight into her eyes confidently.

"Haha, you want to know who I work for?"

The Chosen's narrowed eyes revealed her answer, but seeing that the Monarch stubbornly refused to acknowledge her, she snorted and answered.

"Yes, you didn't come for the unique skill, so what is your goal?"

"I simply obeyed the will of the myth and came to help the future Ocean Master, it's as simple as that".

"Whether you like it or not, we need a unifying leader and it cannot be an Atlantian. Remember that you are foreigners, we are the truly blessed of the origin, our leader must and is fated to be a predator".

"Even if you kill Sebastian, you'll just be delaying the inevitable which you and I know is dangerous to our cause, our leader will come one way or the other".

"Remember, the war is not an illusion, it is real!" 

"I am not your enemy, the ancient Cthulu is!"

"Other planetary dimensions are already grooming their leaders; we need to do the same to survive. If you don't want a repeat of your previous world, cooperate and let the Ocean Master arise".

Bzzz!

While he spoke to the Atlantian Chosen, the Rabbit Monarch was already charging his magic power. Once he was done, he also ended his speech as he tore a rift in the water space where he jumped through to leave.

After the Rabbit Monarch left, only the Chosen Athena was left as she digested the parting words of the powerful rabbit.

15 minutes later, she snorted.

"No one is the true blessed of the origin, our leader must be an Atlantian!"

Warp!

Unlike the Rabbit Monarch who tore a rift in the water space, the Chosen was more tyrannical as she turned her hands to a claw which she used to grab and squeeze the water space open to create a space passage.

She stepped in and disappeared.

All the commotion that was induced by the volcanic eruption died down. The barren wasteland was silent as it became the grave of the numerous predators and variant humans that died here today.

…

An hour after the volcanic eruption, and 30 minutes after the departure of the Chosen Athena, further activity was finally detected in the barren wasteland.

The explosive power of the volcanic eruption was exceedingly mighty, but those who got swept up by it at the periphery of the ocean volcano region suffered only a fraction of its original power.

The more competent ones among these groups of predators were able to preserve their life though they were all left in a terrible state.

One of these few competent and lucky predators was the Space Beast. With Sebastian attracting all the attention, this young Space Beast was able to remain obscure and it wisely decided to escape for its life first.

This decision that went against the original arrogance that was well known of predators with pinnacle bloodlines was what safeguarded his life.

As soon as it dug itself out of the rocks and dirt, this severely injured and bleeding Space Beast did not look back as he swam for his life.

At various intervals and various corners of the barren wasteland, scenarios like this happened as the lucky predators dug themselves out and escaped.

Among these survivors was Tungsten, and the few Great White Sharks that survived. Their cooperative defense shield at the end, combined with Sebastian's help, few of them were able to survive the fire onslaught.

Once Tungsten dug himself out of the rocks and the debris, a sad expression came on his face as his electroreceptors swept across his fellow survivors.

From the originally boisterous shark clan of hundreds of Great White Sharks, apart from him and Queen Heareth, only 12 Great White Sharks survived.

Tungsten felt sad. Of the many family members that he knew and grew up with, over 90% of them died today while he could do very little.

Thinking of his master and the elders who heroically sacrificed their lives to facilitate their survival made him feel like drowning in depression.

All the survivors had severe injuries that flooded their brains with pain constantly, but they didn't think of that, they were rather preoccupied with the family members that they lost today.

"We'll forever remember all of you!" Tungsten solemnly declared.

The sudden weight that was on his shoulders was heavy, but Tungsten vowed to live up to the expectations that Elder Marble invested in him.

"I shall not fail your expectations!"

"Let's leave!" 

Tungsten finally ordered his fellow survivors to leave.

Their distance to Sebastian before the erupting fire got to their position was so far apart that they could no longer pinpoint the position of this comrade of theirs. The shockwave of the explosion drifted them apart more.

Rather than staying behind and searching the extremely expansive barren wasteland while endangering their lives which may be a fruitless endeavor, Tungsten decided to preserve the legacy left by his master first.

Under his leadership, the last group of Great White Sharks that were left of Old Mak's shark clan embarked on a new journey.

They didn't have a destination, but they had one common goal which was to survive. This goal was what gave them a destination.

After Tungsten and the shark survivors left, few other survivors dug themselves out before General Saber finally dug himself out.

General Jax Tim did not physically engage in the siege against the Megalodon, but he was always engaged in the battle inside his special Annihilator warship. He emerged out of the rocks with General Saber.

The explosion already scrapped all their warships, including the Annihilators. Their special self-preservation gadgets and means were what enabled them to survive the ruthless onslaught of the volcano.

Both Generals looked at each other and sighed before they sent a distress signal to their headquarters.

They gave their all, but they still couldn't accomplish their goals. It was a given that they were distressed.

While they left the barren wasteland, to their surprise, they encountered another Atlantian survivor. Against all odds, Captain Omega survived the onslaught of the volcanic eruption alongside the 2 Generals.

Together, they left.

…

Sebastian was a special case among the survivors.

Due to all the subsequent battles that he already went through even before the volcanic eruption, he was at his weakest state when the volcano finally erupted, tyrannically spreading its fire.

After lending the little help that he could to his friends, he formed the best possible defense cocoon that he could to protect himself.

The difference was that, unlike Tungsten's group, due to his decision to lure the danger away from them, he was not exactly at the periphery of the volcano and this meant a lot in terms of the eruption's lethality.

All his defenses held amid the bombardment, at least protecting his body from being burnt to a crisp but the suffocating pressure made him lose consciousness as soon as his old injuries acted up.

Originally, losing consciousness would have spelled his end but the Rabbit Monarch intervened. Through a magic gadget, this powerful Rabbit formed what seemed like a shuttle formed from space magic that shuttled Sebastian away.

Through the space shuttle, he left this region entirely to an unknown destination. The best thing was that he escaped with all his benefits intact.

After an exciting journey, though in unconsciousness, Sebastian finally bade goodbye to this ocean volcano that gave him a lot of memories.

Once he woke up, a new journey would have already started for him.
