Ocean Master
Chapter 381 - Inside The Zone Of Glory.

Whoosh!

The Megalodon entered the zone of glory!

The snakes were confused and alarmed. The manner in which the Megalodon used in entering this place was not what they envisioned, they did not expect the Chief Councilor to stand aside and watch.

Apart from the Chief Councilor, the Ancient Basilisk at the moment was the closest predator to the small gate that led inside this last zone.

On seeing that the Megalodon already entered and that the Chief Councilor was still hovering with his mech at the side, he increased his speed immediately as he seemed to turn into a moving meteorite.

He didn't understand exactly what was going through his old enemy's head at the moment, but if the clownfish was about to stop him, he calculated his current speed to be faster than the reaction speed of the mech.

He could make it.

Before he didn't know it, but with the Megalodon's example, he knew that to enter this last zone, all that he needed was to hit his body against the small gate.

The massive Ancient Basilisk increased his speed even more, then with a bam, he collided against the small gate.

Bonk!

A strange silence descended on the corridor after hearing this sound.

The other snake elder's eyes twitched on looking at this scene, while all the clownfish that were outside their mechs had looks of worship, they did not even pay attention to the plight of the Ancient Basilisk.

On colliding against the small gate at full speed, instead of entering the zone of glory directly or at least hitting it and inducing a mighty sound, the Ancient Basilisk received the shock of his life.

Hitting the small gate was so different from his expectations that he was spooked. It was like, he hit a boulder when he was a mere bicycle.

It took a few seconds before the mighty Basilisk recovered from the pain. Confused, he looked at the small gate again before turning to face the closest mech.

The Chief Councilor's mech never left its position despite the actions of his archrival. Now, as the Ancient Basilisk looked at the red glowing eyes of the mech, he knew that there was more to this situation than met the eye.

It took him about a minute of rapid thinking, but he finally understood. As soon as the look in his eyes changed, the mech finally spoke.

"I think you know the truth now".

"We never protected the zone of glory from you, it is more than enough to protect itself. What we did was fulfilling all righteousness".

"We had orders from our clown goddess, and we had to do it".

The Ancient Basilisk went livid. "You…"

"You think you know it all, Baskfool, but you actually know nothing".

"I replace it ironic, but today, your actions fell completely in line with what the clown goddess predicted, or should I say prophesied".

"You were played by us; you were played by me".

"…"

The massive Ancient Basilisk closed his eyes as he tried to keep his emotions under control. In the centuries that he lived as a predator; he did not remember when last he was played like a fool.

He was a calm leader, but despite how much he wanted to keep it cool, his brain said otherwise, his pride was too damaged to heal in the short term.

He gritted his teeth, his tone turning ferocious. "You…, freaking…"

"Motherf*cker!" The Chief Councilor completed his curse.

This was the last stimuli that turned the switch on the Ancient Basilisk's head, this massive snake erupted at the mech like a rabid dog with a wounded soul.

Hiss…!!!

…

"Huh, where am I?"

Sebastian though already guessing where he was, was still shocked on seeing himself in an apartment that he could say came directly from a fairytale.

Yes, he arrived in an apartment, not an elaborate habitation zone like the zone of transition and all the other zones of the Anemone Domain.

Fortunately, his skills were not blocked which allowed him to scan his surroundings with his electroreceptors. While doing this, he did not forget his injuries as he activated his healing skill.

[You have activated skill: Mega Healing.]

As the healing power of the skill worked on his body, Sebastian finally felt relieved enough to focus on what he was doing.

With his electroreceptors active, he immediately discovered that this was an apartment that was made in a medieval Chinese setting. 

It was so similar to apartments in Chinese movies that he watched back on earth that Sebastian was 100% sure of it.

It was a Chinese setting apartment with far more lighting than could be called normal and too many flowers that made it feel like a children's room.

On entering this strange apartment, instead of feeling spooked and weirded out like 99% of predators in Oceania would feel, Sebastian felt at home.

He was currently in the living room that seemed like it was partially modified to act as a place to train martial arts, with painting frames of famous martial artists from his previous world painted on them.

3 of these paintings were made in a frame that was bigger than the rest, featuring the legendary Chinese authors, Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li.

Seeing all this, Sebastian felt a heavy load that he had been carrying since leaving his mind. "So, the Motherf*cker Lord is really from earth". 

With this load offloaded from his mind, Sebastian finally started exploring the apartment. On leaving the sitting room, he came before a hall with even more elaborate paintings.

This time, they were not just martial artists, but of different celebrities of earth. At other parts of this hall, Sebastian saw pet cages with different predators held inside them.

These pets ranged from small predators like crayfish, and seahorses, to big predators like snakes, Barracudas, and even sharks.

Sebastian felt weird on seeing the shark cage. Though there was no Great White Shark locked in there, it still felt extremely weird and made him recall some memories. At some point, he also had sharks as pets.

"What a weird life".

He chuckled and continued his exploratory journey deeper into the Chinese-themed apartment. He went through 3 rooms consecutively, with different attractions in each of them and they were all earth specialties.

At this point, Sebastian already confirmed the validity of the clownfish that he was about to meet so much that he became impatient to meet her.

"Move your ass faster, Sebastian".

He started swimming faster, ignoring most of the attractions that were before him now. It was when he came to the 5th room that he finally saw a change.

Unlike the others that felt like mini-halls and the sitting room, from one look, Sebastian easily recognized that this one was a real bedroom.

Seeing the pink background, the flowers, decorations, and everything that was here, he didn't need to think to know that this was a girl's room.

Once Sebastian entered inside fully, he finally saw his patron.

The massive clownfish was seated in a special pink mechanical throne that was modified to accommodate her clownfish physique.

Apart from this, Sebastian saw no difference that distinguished this fish from other clownfish but he was still acute enough to know that this was the one.

Sebastian deliberated for a few seconds on what to address her with before he fell back to what he knew. "Motherf*cker Lord?"

"…"

The clownfish was caught off-guard for a few seconds, probably dumbfounded but she chuckled a few seconds later.

"I admit, now that is funny Sebastian".
