Chapter 504: A Show Of Power!
Boom! Boom!
Quintillion closed his already dim eyes as the walls of their temporary shelter started fiercely shaking again as the intruders attacked with impunity. This shaking started just a few minutes ago but the shelter’s foundation was already threatened.
The shaking was so fierce that it seemed like their specially built underground shelter would be uprooted any moment but the shelter still held.
Quintillion was the name of the Diran who Guagua appointed to take charge of this Diran group that separated from the main Diran group.
Though Dirans were not beasts that were especially famous for their intelligence, even in their terms, there were still some Dirans who were more intelligent and talented than others and Quintillion was one of them.
Guagua, the leader of the Diran race did not just randomly separate his race into groups and sent them to fend for themselves without thinking first.
The decision was extremely risky, but the measure that he took to reduce this risky element as much as possible was to elect only exceptional Dirans that he trusted with his life as the leaders of these Diran groups.
This insightful decision from him in Diran terms was the main reason why the Diran race was not extinct yet, and Quintillion was the one who performed best among all the leaders that were elected.
By now, every single Diran group was already subordinated by powerful organizations who sought to join the party of the Blood Wreckage, only this Diran group led by Quintillion managed to survive till now.
Dirans having lived their whole life underground didn’t get to evolve in more sophisticated ways, but they evolved their specialty to an extreme degree.
Quintillion was a prime product of this one-dimensional extreme evolution.
This was a Diran that was above the others. He was not exactly more intelligent than the others, he was foolish and ugly like any other Diran, what he had was an amplified version of his siblings’ advantages.
Quintillion’s scavenging ability was the best that the Diran race had seen in their long history spanning across a millennium, he was the ugliest Diran to live, and his earth magic was also the strongest by a sizeable margin.
By manipulating their earth magic, where his fellow Dirans could only dig in 10 minutes, he could dig more in just 2 minutes.
Diran was like a perfect depiction of an ancestor Diran reincarnating in the body of a young Diran. His instincts, his decision-making, and a lot of other things separated Quintillion from others as an exceptional beast.
From a young age, Guagua discovered that Quintillion was special, and that was why he took him under his wing. He was the ugliest, but to Dirans, being ugly was their way to measure beauty which made Quintillion all the more special.
After he became a leader, Quintillion was suddenly placed under a lot of pressure but his elite mentality for a Diran came to the rescue again.
He only needed a little time to adapt to his new position, and once he did, he led his group to become the toughest Diran group ever.
For the past few months after the start of the Orca Revolution, Quintillion led his siblings as they continually evaded the search and pursuit of their enemies.
Quintillion was such an overpowered Diran that he managed to save his siblings every single time with his outrageous earth magic control.
Also, during the few times when he led his siblings out to scavenge for food, they became deadly. Under his leadership, this small Diran group quickly grew to become the most notorious scavenging group of Dirans ever.
This made his group be sought after by more opportunists, but the more they searched, the more Quintillion evolved to protect his siblings.
Quintillion tried, but in the end, he was just 1 Diran while his enemies were many. After his value increased to a certain extent, his enemies started putting in a lot more effort to get him, now he was cornered.
The numerous escape routes that he created were already blocked by the enemies, now they were trapped underground.
Alongside his siblings, he could only keep on manipulating his earth magic to solidify the defense of their shelter in hopes that it would hold against the bombardment of their enemies but the chances of this happening were slim.
Boom! Boom! Crack!
After consistent bombardment from the enemies, the shelter finally revealed a huge crack as the Dirans inside started making clattering sounds in panic.
Quintillion tried his best to maintain order but it was useless as, despite all his efforts, the shelter finally succumbed after one last hit.
As the underground earthen shelter crumbled, the enemies invaded like a group of hungry hounds who could not wait to tear them apart.
Quintillion could not see his enemies clearly, but from the scents that his nose was already used to, he could detect different types of sharks, Sea Lions, Crabs, fish, and a lot of other predators present for this hunt.
Bam! Bam!
Once the struggle started, it turned chaotic. None of these predators wanted to settle down and claim their price peacefully, they wanted to claim everything for themselves and this was what made the atmosphere turn chaotic.
Dirans started being crushed to death by the struggles of the enemies as the remaining Dirans increasingly became agitated and riled up.
"Kill!!!" Quintillion suddenly yelled and all the Dirans went mad.
They fiercely retaliated against the enemies only to have more of them tramped to death, yet they did not care as they gave their all to fight for their lives.
The atmosphere in this underground shelter turned more chaotic, the enemies dealt more damage between themselves than the Dirans could ever deal.
One of the main reasons for this current chaos was the fact that there was no Red tier predator present.
The strongest predators here were purple tier predators, and they were not prestigious enough to command the absolute respect of the other beasts and were the main reason for the current chaos.
Some of the beasts that fought here had Red tier predators as backers, but they didn’t come here since they saw this as grunt work for their subordinates.
Well, this was where they were wrong since another boss found it right to dirty himself to get his goal. After taking his time and swimming a long distance to this location, Sebastian finally arrived to meet the commotion.
On arriving, Sebastian immediately started thinking of the fastest way to end this commotion. He thought of entering the battle and teaching the beasts a lesson, but he soon thought of a better alternative.
[You have activated skill: Domineering King Kong Physique!]
[You have activated Inherited Magic Ability: Telekinesis!]
[You have activated skill: Telekinesis Compression!]
[You have activated skill: Celestial Beast Integration!]
[You have activated skill: Sonic Dissonance!]
Once Sebastian activated the first skill, he grew in size as an aggressive aura immediately surrounded him that reminded every beast here that an apex predator had already shown up.
By activating his telekinesis ability and activating the telekinesis compression skill, he was able to choke the atmosphere up and make it suffocating which highlighted the effects of his aggressive aura more.
Then with his Celestial Beast Integration, he integrated with Goldie which increased his presence as an apex predator.
As he glowed, all the beasts stopped fighting as they looked on in amazement like they were staring at an envoy of the primordial origin essence.
As for the last skill, the sonic dissonance was the killer move to end it all as the spooky sound sent goosebumps under the skin of all the beasts present.
Sebastian succeeded in getting the attention that he wanted, then he spoke.
[You have activated skill: Sound Control!]
[You have created a sound construct: Loud Bass Speakers!]
"Leave!" His voice reverberated like thunder and instinctively, over 50% of the beasts present cowered as they scurried away in fear.
The others remained hovering before him in defiance, they soon regretted this decision.
[You have activated skill: Rasengan!]
Sebastian activated this skill so casually and this was what made it all the more iconic and unforgettable. Seeing half of them being wiped out with just one move was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
To your tents oh Israel!
All the beasts that survived till now all turned and escaped at the fastest speed that they could muster. In just a few seconds, silence returned here.
Now, only Sebastian and the Dirans were left swimming.
Sebastian won the battle here through intimidation alone.
