Chapter 434: Mo-Bomber!
After taking the 3 gifts from the Tentacled Overlord, the process for official induction as a Mana Lord was complete, but Sebastian was not allowed to leave yet as one last procedure was left to be done.
As an official Mana Lord now, Sebastian needed a Mana Lord name.
One of the pinnacle Red tier Mana Lords in the Induction Temple was the one who took on the great responsibility of the naming process.
"From today, under the watching eyes and will of the leader of our Manapedia, the Tentacled Overlord, I hereby name you Mo-bomber!"
...
When Sebastian finally left the Induction Temple, his head was still over the clouds in joy not only due to how much he gained by entering Manapedia but by the meaning of his Mana Lord name that was just explained to him.
Mo-bomber, his new name was a name that was unanimously agreed upon by all the pinnacle Red tier predators under the watch of the Tentacled Overlord.
The name was inspired by his performance in the Induction Ceremony.
The prefix Mo- was to complete the sacred ritual of starting his name with the letter M, while the bomber gave it its real meaning.
Mo-bomber meant that he was an explosive warrior with great might. He entered the ceremony as an unknown dark horse, but against all odds, he explosively smashed his way all the way to 1st place in the strength test.
This achievement was absolutely tyrannical and explosive even for Mana Lords and was the main inspiration for his name.
Sebastian felt weird about being given a new name, but he kinda loved it. Even in his previous world, he had always dreamt of having 2 identities, an open identity and a secret one, now his wish was fulfilled in a way that he didn’t expect.
Once Sebastian, Monolith, and Meg the female Mana Lord were released out of the Induction Temple, they got their ticket to leave Manapedia.
With the will of the primordial origin magic, they were now qualified to leave Manapedia into the outside expanse of water to explore the world alongside their Celestial Beasts which already turned into their lifelong partners.
Despite having the freedom to leave immediately, Sebastian and the others didn’t leave, they still had some things to settle here.
Monolith and the others still had to meet up with and celebrate properly before saying goodbye officially to their family here.
All of them, including Sebastian and the other 3 Mana Lords who qualified for the last test of the Induction Ceremony also wanted to visit the Temple of Primordial Mana.
They all had slots to visit the Temple of Primordial Mana to try their luck at trying to break through the bottleneck of their origin magic comprehension.
Before going to visit the temple to try their luck, every one of them separated as they opted to go visit family first.
While the 5 Mana Lords swam in different directions to go visit their family, Sebastian swam back in the direction of the Floating Gravity Domain where the first speed test took place.
After being separated for what seemed like so long, he wanted to meet his companions again, both Strong and Tungsten.
On getting to the Floating Gravity Domain though, Sebastian was surprised to only see only a few Mana Lords that were on duty here. On asking, he was told that Strong and Tungsten were out celebrating with the Mana Lords.
Sebastian was surprised, and noticing this, the Mana Lord explained with a smile. "You’re a celebrity figure in our Manapedia already, and as the companions of a celebrity, they’re bound to attract attention also".
"Oh..." Sebastian finally understood.
On swimming to downtown Manapedia, where the bulk of the Mana Lord settlements was, Sebastian finally saw his companions.
Mana Lord residential settlements were huge wooden buildings built using the mana-filled tree logs and leaves of the massive trees in Manapedia.
These logs and leaves that soaked in mana all-year-round were capable of converging mana in each of these residential settlements so much that it provided the right atmosphere for a young Mana Lord to develop.
On getting here, Sebastian saw Strong and Tungsten catching a cruise with the Mana Lords at what seemed like a Manapedia version of an underwater beach. These 2 Great White Sharks were now unrecognizable.
Whereas Tungsten’s was a little restrained, only getting to change his body a bit to fit the Mana Lord style, Strong was the really unrecognizable one.
Strong was now cosplaying as an abomination that Sebastian could only refer to as a Hercules Great White Shark.
Great White Sharks swam all year round naked which was normal to them, but this time, Strong took it to the next level through the help of the Mana Lords.
At this moment, Strong was now geared in his war-gear as he looked like a valiant muscular Great White Shark going to war. The more aesthetic Mana Lords drew different decorations on his body to make him seem more valiant.
To crystallize this all was the huge crown that was on Strong’s head.
Sebastian was horrified, Strong was singing.
"I’m the King of the Great White Sharks!"
"Yeah!" The Mana Lord cheered to the Great White Shark’s singing.
"I’m the Pugilist King!"
"I drip with the swag, ripping everything apart with my fang, smashing everything apart with my pal, tearing everything apart with my clan!"
"I’m the King of the Great White Sharks!"
"Yeah!!!"
The Great White Sharks and the Mana Lords were having an amazing time together. Not only Tungsten and Strong were in this group, but the other Great White Sharks and the 2 Megalodons who found themselves here were also among them.
Sebastian was flabbergasted and amazed at the sight, while he had to toil, giving his all against Chaos Mongers, these guys were catching a cruise.
"It’s Sebastian!"
"He’s here!"
"Oh damn, he came!"
"Drag him in, let’s party!"
This time, Sebastian could not react on time before a group of Mana Lords quickly swarmed in and grabbed him before dragging him to the dance floor.
"Wow, my bro is here!"
"Yeah!"
"Sebastian is here, now we gonna popping and dancing, jumping and singing, waving our tentacles without a care of the world, oh yeah!"
"Sebastian the big bro, the Megalodon Mana Lord is here!"
"Yeah!"
"Sebastian the smasher of records is here!"
"Yeah!"
Today, Sebastian saw a different version of Strong that he had never seen before. He tried to avoid it at first, but the celebratory mood was infectious, thinking about how much he gained in this adventure finally tipped the scales.
Sebastian threw away all hesitation and tried his very best to avoid thinking of how cringe the singing was as he went with the flow.
"Let’s party!"
"Yeah!"
That day, this specific part of Manapedia quickly became a hotspot when other Mana Lords heard the news of Sebastian being here.
It only took a few hours before attendance flew through the roof. The place was quickly filled with Mana Lords as the overenthusiastic beasts celebrated to their heart’s contents alongside their new role model.
Sebastian was already a role model to most of them. To them, if Sebastian, a visitor could do it, then they definitely could.
They celebrated and celebrated till they got exhausted, now this was when Sebastian became exposed to the terrifying tenacity and endurance of the Mana Lords. They were not tired!
"Damn!"
Sebastian was forced to party until they finally became tired.
