Chapter 450: Creating The Ultimate Vessel! What A Magnificent Beast!
With the main experiment of the 1st Den of Anatomy turning out to be such a huge success, the whole secret base was thrown into a frenzy of excitement.
The excitement of the anatomists knew no end, they achieved history today which was more than worth celebrating and this rippled over to the guards and other arms of the 1st Den of Anatomy who all joined in the celebrations.
While all these happened though and the anatomists celebrated, 3 anatomists didn’t join the celebrations. Precisely, the 3 lead anatomists.
Eliana, Josephine, and Sebastian went into isolation.
According to Sebastian’s overall plan, immediately after he completed his experiment, no matter how tired he was, if need be, he would take stimulants to keep himself awake just to start his ultimate vessel creation then.
Immediately after the experiment was the time that the experience and perfect knowledge of the anatomy of the Leviathon would remain in his head.
In this perfect state was when he wanted to create his ultimate war vessel.
This was why Sebastian included a secret anatomy lab in his refurbishment of the 1st Den of Anatomy. He was the only one, including Eliana and Josephine now who knew of this anatomy lab in the secret base.
This lab was where he would engage his living doppelganger creation plan.
Having planned ahead of time and explaining everything to the both of them already, Eliana and Josephine did not ask questions as they allowed him inside the secret lab to start his plans.
The both of them stood guard outside, alongside someone else, they stood guard outside alongside Atlantian Sebastian.
To create his living doppelganger, Sebastian needed only his main body.
Once Sebastian’s main body swam inside the secret anatomy laboratory, he ignored the large working table that was in the middle of the lab and everything else as he swam to a corner of the lab that he prepared beforehand.
On getting here, Sebastian stopped swimming and closed his eyes.
Sebastian didn’t just rush into creating his 2nd living doppelganger, he took his time. Unlike his first living doppelganger, an Atlantian which whom he was extremely familiar with its physique and anatomy, a Space Beast was a lot trickier.
Though he already updated his knowledge more than enough, even updating it further with hands-on experience in dissecting it, he still needed the element of luck. Sebastian prayed for luck.
While praying for luck, he looked into his head to keep his knowledge up to date. He felt like he was back in secondary school where after reading, he closed his eyes to concentrate and remember everything that he read for the exams.
This was extremely similar as he closed his eyes to remember every single contour, every single shift, and every single shape of the Leviathon that he just dissected and had been studying for months.
Sebastian kept this up for 40 minutes, and when he was finally ready, he made his move after taking a deep imaginary breath.
[You have activated unique skill: Doppelganger and Invisibility!]
[You are in the process of creating a living doppelganger...]
...
As expected, this time, the creation was not as straightforward as Sebastian’s first time. Once the creation process started, his consciousness seemed to leave his body to a world that was dominated by 2 lights, white and yellow.
His consciousness was mainly on the white side of the world, but a part of it extended to the yellow. At this moment while the creation process continued, a new part started appearing, a red part of the world.
The red part struggled like it was trying to establish its dominance against more powerful and more veteran forces that opposed it.
On seeing these 3 lights, Sebastian understood.
This was kind of his relationship with his living doppelgangers, the white background was his main Megalodon body, the yellow was his Atlantian body, while the red was the new body that he was in the process of creating.
The only worrying factor was that from what he could see, the red light had almost no chance of succeeding, the other lights firmly suppressed it.
On seeing this, Sebastian knew instantly that he needed to do more.
In this world of lights, Sebastian simulated closing his mind as everything else faded out of his consciousness, leaving only the knowledge about Leviathons.
Sebastian started thinking Leviathon, he spoke Leviathon, and the effects showed. The red slowly started gaining prominence and momentum.
The more Sebastian focused, the more details about the Leviathon that he remembered, and the more the red light increased in intensity.
The red light slowly started to look even more tyrannical than the others.
[You are in the process of creating a living doppelganger...]
[You are 20% into creating a living doppelganger...]
The wait was agonizing, the pressure was suffocating, Sebastian felt like giving up numerous times but when he thought of all that was at stake, he hardened his mind and pushed through it all.
After what felt like lifetimes, Sebastian finally saw the system notification that he had been craving and looking for for the past lifetimes.
[You are 20% into creating a living doppelganger...]
[Congratulations! You have created a Living Doppelganger!]
Instantly, Sebastian felt like a virtue left him.
After persevering for so long, he was already exhausted mentally. When the creation was finally complete, his mana points were sucked dry immediately and he was affected even more mentally as he fainted the next moment.
He didn’t even get to see what he created before fainting.
Sebastian fainted, but this was just his main body, his Atlantian body was waiting outside and it waited outside just for a moment like this.
Once the main body fainted, Sebastian’s Atlantian body got the signal.
"Let’s move in now!"
He didn’t move in alone, Eliana and Josephine followed.
Once the 3 of them rushed inside, they were exposed to a wonder of pinnacle magic. Hovering at the corner of the room before Sebastian’s fainted body was a glowing white light, and inside this light was the living doppelganger embryo.
On seeing this wonder of magic, all 3 of them gasped.
Before them, this embryo started developing. It turned into an infant Leviathon, before rapidly developing into a teen and then an adult Leviathon.
Sebastian was stunned at first before he quickly reacted and moved. Rapidly swimming closer, Sebastian brought out all 6 mutated magic organs and threw them at the still-developing adult Leviathon.
The glowing white light accepted them all, and as programmed by Sebastian before fainting, the Leviathon took them all to their designated spots.
It was still in its development phase; this was why it was able to accept them. Before all its organs could form, these 6 organs replaced the original organs.
For the next 5 minutes, the living doppelganger developed like nothing was wrong but the next moment he roared in pain.
Roar!!!
The 2 living doppelgangers immediately became exposed to a world of pain.
Atlantian Sebastian grabbed his head as the pain stabbed at his brain like needles. He bled from all orifices of his body as he rolled in the water in pain.
Eliana and Josephine were helpless, they could only watch from the side.
This pain continued for hours, and unlike the 2 hours that the computer theorized, the pain continued for 5 full hours where both living doppelgangers almost died from excessive pain before it stopped.
[You have activated skill: Mega Healing!]
As the power of healing magic flowed through his body, Atlantian Sebastian swam up as he looked hopefully at the white glowing light that was now subsiding.
"Did it work?"
ROAR!!!
The mighty Leviathon doppelganger announced with a roar that it lived.
As this mighty and enormous predator swam up, roaring loudly, Atlantian Sebastian, Eliana, and Josephine looked at this monster in awe.
What a magnificent beast!
