"...Remember, the will of the Sages is of good and not evil".
The story of Booma, the Ancient Megalodon finally came to an end.
As the mighty body of this Ancient Megalodon slowly started fading into the background of this illusion realm like smoke, Sebastian also felt his consciousness beginning to drift away from this world as the last sentence became echoes.
After the incredibly thrilling story of the Ancient Megalodon, everything finally came to an end and Sebastian was now leaving.
He was already incarnated as a shark of the Ancient Megalodon bloodline.
As Sebastian’s consciousness slowly drifted out of this world, Sebastian remained staring intensely at the mighty Ancient Megalodon as he wanted to imprint any tiny details that he could observe into his head.
Bzzz!
Sebastian finally left the illusion world.
Blink!
When Sebastian’s body finally got its driving force back which was its consciousness, the pitch-black eyes of the Megalodon finally regained focus.
Sebastian was now able to look around freely.
He was still inside the blood pool, but the pool no longer obscured his senses.
[You have activated skill: Combined Super Sensing.]
With this active, Sebastian was able to look beyond the reaches of his sight to all corners of the blood pool.
There was nothing really special about the pool, but from what his dad already told him, the special thing about the pool was that it was comprised of a drop of the Ancient Megalodon’s blood.
Having been treated to the story of the Ancient Megalodon, Sebastian had a faint idea of the power of this Megalodon at his peak, a drop of his blood definitely contained a lot of power.
Apart from the blood of the Ancient Megalodon, physically, the only other iconic factor about the pool was the Megalodon statue that was built in its center.
The slight similarity of the statue to the Ancient Megalodon made it all the more iconic, Sebastian loved it. He bowed slightly in the direction of the statue to express his respect before finally swimming away.
After Sebastian swam out of the blood pool, his system lit up a notification.
[Congratulations! You have assimilated the blood essence hidden in the blood of the Ancient Megalodon!]
[Your bloodline has been purified!]
[Congratulations! Your overall talent has increased!]
Whereas winning the Mana Lord Induction ceremony gave Sebastian tangible benefits in the form of his increased origin law comprehension and stats, the benefits of the Shark Incarnation ceremony were less obvious.
Despite the benefits being less obvious, Sebastian was smart enough to recognize how pivotal they were.
Apart from his bloodline being purified which his dad already explained to him before, it was the talent increase that really gave him a hint of how much he gained from this encounter.
This was the first time that he saw his system classifying something so vaguely as talent. Talent was such a wide prospect that an increase in it meant that his potential to become the Ocean Master just increased further.
This was a long-term benefit which made it all the more important.
Apart from the benefits in terms of his bloodline purification and talent increase, Sebastian also acknowledged the benefit of knowledge.
Perhaps, to normal Great White Sharks or Megalodons, after the encounter with the story of their ancestor, most of their attention would be fixated on how the Ancient Megalodon was able to rise to such heights.
The thrilling encounters of the Megalodon, his rival, and all the battles that he fought would attract most of them but something else attracted Sebastian.
Sebastian was attracted to the knowledge revealed by the Ancient Megalodon in the form of information about the Sages, the Myth Realm, and how he was taken to the Myth Realm.
To predators who had not heard of any of these terms before, this would be too high-level for them but Sebastian was an anomaly who knew too much.
With his expansive knowledge already, Sebastian was able to add and minus, arriving at facts and theories as he answered a lot of the questions that he originally had about the truth of this world.
Having read of how the first ruler of Atlantis disappeared mysteriously, Sebastian was able to correlate that event with this.
He finally understood why most of the ancient, powerful, and trailblazing predators of Oceania were no longer around when Black tier predators were rumored to be able to live a life of immortality.
Clearly, all these powerful predators were already taken away by the Sages and drafted into the army that was resisting the invasion of the Ancient Cthulu.
Sebastian once again got another confirmation that the war was real!
Oceania was slowly running out of time, he needed to go faster.
Once again, Sebastian felt the pressure of the responsibility that was on his shoulders. This was why once he left the ancestor’s grounds; he spoke for only a few minutes with his dad before he presented his plan to him.
As a well-connected predator himself, and being the patriarch of such a large and renowned shark kingdom, Patriarch Domino knew his stuff.
He already knew of the Sea King Inheritance saga and already knew that his son was a wielder of 2 unique skills already, he just refrained from bringing it up.
Now that Sebastian revealed his intentions to leave the Green Mist Sea to the Dungeon of Souls, he had nothing more to give rather than his blessings.
After giving his blessings as a father, Patriarch Domino tried inviting Sebastian to meet his siblings which Sebastian unfortunately refused, the pressure was strong and he no longer wanted to waste time.
Before sending Sebastian away, the magnanimous patriarch and father gave his son 10 warships to accompany him in his future adventures.
With that, Sebastian finally left his father’s company to the area of the shark city where his companions and his subordinates waited.
On getting there, Sebastian went straight to the point as he convened a meeting with all the important sharks of the Firelight Shark clan.
