Chapter 524: The Leader Of The Leviathons!
"..."
Now, Sebastian was seriously baffled.
"Wait..., please wait, wait..., holy sh*t!" Sebastian didn’t know where the f*ck to start from, he was seriously lost for words to say.
"Am I getting it wrong here, are you saying you want me to be the leader?"
"Yes".
"..."
The Crooked Overlord looked at Sebastian calmly to the extent that even the baffled Leviathon started feeling uncomfortable, then she replied again. "Yes".
"Ok, I get it, I think I get it, so why do you think I can be the leader?"
"Good, that is the question that you should be asking".
"First, though I don’t know much about you before now, after your performance in the test of the ancestor, you entered my sights and after we met, I became sure that you are someone special".
"When you told me who you are, everything became clear".
"Your achievements are your campaign strategies for the position of being the leader of us Leviathons. Your potential is your greatest campaign strategy".
"Unlike us, your fate was different as you were not born a purple tier predator. You were a different breed from inception".
"You became a purple tier predator in less than a year, which other Leviathon do you know in Ocean who can boast of this feat?"
"Despite getting to your current tier in just less than a month, a few months later, you’re the powerhouse that you are now who can kill powerful Red tier predators, which other Leviathon can boast of a ridiculous feat like this?"
"According to you, you’re the Ocean Master candidate and though it may seem arrogant, your 2 unique skills are more than enough proof to verify that".
"Which Leviathon in this current age boasts of wielding a single unique skill? None, but you wield 2 unique skills".
"Another reason is that I see you as the heir to the greatest ancestor of our race, the Ocean King. Even the Ocean King was not as ridiculously powerful as the current you when he was your age".
"With his unique skill, he ruled the Origin Peak Sea and I believe that you can achieve a lot more than he did since Leviathons are known for their newer generations living to achieve a lot more than their ancestors did".
"With the Ocean King’s unique skill, I also believe that you can convince more than 60% of the Leviathons here in the Domain World that you are the heir that he selected to lead the Leviathons".
"This will give you more credibility when you explain your deduction about the real test of the ancestor again, the Water Transmutation unique skill is your killer campaign strategy".
"Also, you don’t just have a lot of potential, you have the strength to back it up. With the ability to fight head-to-head with Red tier predators while still being a purple tier predator, you are not inferior to any Leviathon in the Domain World".
"This is still just for the now, but imagine after you become a Red tier predator which I reckon is not too far from now considering you are so close already".
"When you become a Red tier predator, you’ll become the undisputed best Leviathon in the Domain World and then, even if they don’t want it, they’ll have no choice but to accept you as the leader which is why I think you have the greater chance of leading us".
"Even if we leave the Domain World, with all the points that I listed out, I believe that the elder Leviathons will listen to reason and accept your leadership".
Once the Crooked Overlord was done with listing out her reasons why he was the better candidate to be the leader, Sebastian was left tongue-tied.
Having encountered them a lot, Sebastian knew that some high-tiered beasts were so intelligent that they eclipsed humans but this was the first time that he met a beast who was this intelligent and insightful.
Out of nowhere, Sebastian felt his respect for this female Leviathon skyrocketing, the Crooked Overlord rocked.
After expressing his respect for her in his mind, Sebastian finally settled down and started thinking through all the points that she made.
In the end, he was surprised to find out that he could not find a reasonable argument to refute her with, she was completely right this time.
What an irony. Sebastian worked so hard, giving his all to find the perfect leader for the Leviathons when he was the perfect candidate for it all along.
If this was related to anatomy, Sebastian would have naturally wanted to make himself the leader but since he didn’t create the Leviathon race like his army, the thought of leading this exotic race of Space Beasts never crossed him once.
It was only after the Crooked Overlord highlighted the points that he saw the wisdom in her points. Sebastian had no other choice; he accepted the task.
If becoming the leader of the Leviathons was the way for him to leave this Domain World and save his friends from further death, then he was ready to do it.
Besides, he saw a lot of benefits that could easily arise if he became a leader of the Leviathons which was why he did not hesitate further.
After Sebastian agreed, he finally started conversations with the Crooked Overlord on how to best implement this plan.
While they planned, Sebastian also took time to explain the conditions of the outside world extensively to the Crooked Overlord from the Orca Revolution to the mighty storm that would soon engulf all of Oceania.
If the plan worked and he became the leader of the Leviathons, Sebastian already planned to take this female Leviathon as his assistant so he figured that making her familiar with the job now was not wrong.
For the next day, Sebastian and the Crooked Overlord spent all the time together finalizing the plan. When they were done, they finally caught up on some rest time for the implementation of the great plan the next day.
The next day, under the leadership of the Crooked Overlord, the whole Crooked survival group was aroused as they escorted a new Leviathon in their midst in the direction of the Domain Mountain.
The Crooked Overlord went through so much pain to make this as bombastic as possible that no Leviathon in a region of dozens of kilometers could miss it.
When the group of Leviathons got to the safest distance from the Domain Mountain, Sebastian finally took center stage to address them. He wasn’t just addressing them; he was addressing all the Leviathons in the Domain World.
[You have been affected by a skill: Telepathic Transmission!]
Once the Crooked Overlord made her move using her famed adapted telekinesis skill and his system notified him, Sebastian finally spoke.
Through the Crooked Overlord’s skill, every word that Sebastian said would be transmitted directly to all the Leviathons in the Domain World through telepathy and this was how Sebastian intended to address them all.
Once Sebastian took center stage, he finally felt the pressure akin to stage fright but he fought his fear when he thought of all that was at stake here.
He didn’t prepare a speech for this, he just spoke.
"Leviathons far and wide, my name is Sebastian".
"I have deduced the test that our ancestor, the Ocean King left behind. It is not an individual test like you all speculated, it is a test of the collective effort that requires teamwork to win".
"Our ancestor wanted to create an army of powerful telekinesis powerhouses, and he wanted them to have a leader who would lead them in the turbulent period that is about to befall our world".
"This is the reason why I have proposed that we need a leader".
"And I think that I am the best candidate to be the leader".
"I am the candidate for the Ocean Master, I have 2 unique skills with one of them being the Water Transmutation unique skill of our ancestor, the Ocean King".
"I am the heir of the Ocean King".
"Today, I declare myself as the leader of the Leviathon community!" Sebastian’s eyes turned sharp as he glared into the distance intensely like he was provoking a reaction that never came.
"If anyone of you opposes my leadership or think that I man not good enough for this position, speak up now or remain silent forever".
"If there is no one, join me and let us complete the test of our ancestor".
"Join me and let us make history!"
