'Battle Controller!'
Legolas froze briefly as excitement gripped him.
Was this it?
Was this the epiphany?
The giant meatgrinder formed from his incredible synergy and battle formation with his contracted beasts and tamed beasts kept on oppressing the beasts, pushing them back while giving them serious injuries.
Legolas was surrounded but he didn't feel surrounded.
He was outnumbered but he didn't feel outnumbered.
For some strange reason, he felt that it was the beasts that were outnumbered and surrounded, he felt that it was them that should fear.
BAM!
Predator struck again alongside his Obsidian Spear, tearing another angry Goldfish to bloody pieces as the others attacked even more aggressively.
By now, Legolas was no longer paying as much attention to the enemy beasts, instead, all his attention was on his mind, on that feeling.
'Battle Controller…'
'Is that what I need to complete my calamity path?'
He felt that the concept was in his brain but it was only hovering round his brain. He didn't force it. He could tell that if he forced it, he may lose this concept gained from his epiphany forever and there was no guarantee of getting it back.
This was why no matter how curious he was at this moment, he tried his best to stay patient, not doing anything rash, just attacking the enemy beasts.
Attacking the enemy beasts gave him this epiphany though it was not clear.
This was why he felt that attacking them more would clarify it.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
It worked!
It truly started clearing up in his head.
It no longer felt like just a fleeting thought, it now became a true concept that kept on reverberating in his head.
This continued for over a dozen seconds as he kept on fighting.
Then, he understood it.
For a brief moment, Legolas' eyes widened in shock.
'Path of the Grandmaster…' He took inspiration for his calamity path from this, but his aim was to go even further and improve on it.
His original intention was to make it in a way where apart from emulating the Path of the Grandmaster by fighting with his tamed and contracted beasts, using techniques that he created, he also took full advantage of his body.
After getting supreme talents like the Physique of the Primordial Undying Cockroach and the Honey Badger Armor, he felt that it would be a waste to not make use of the advantages of these incredible supreme talents.
Conan, the Mad Berserker was an outlier among beasts.
In Galactic society, only Beyond Grade A's were guaranteed to have Supreme Talents, there were even some Calamity Grades who had no Supreme Talents and it said a lot about the difficulty of awakening one.
Legolas got his 2 Supreme Talents through a mixture of luck, cleverness, and other advantages that no other Super had.
No other Super had the future knowledge that he had.
No other Super was a reincarnator from earth apart from Maximus and his predecessor, but both were not here currently.
Few Supers even if reincarnated could make use of the future knowledge like he did, and even fewer would be as motivated to find the mystery behind their reincarnation that originally pushed him into the path of power.
All these reasons and more pushed him to exceed his limits countless times, and it culminated in him getting the chance to get these 2 Supreme Talents.
His original plan was to integrate his ridiculous body for a Summoner that was birth from his Supreme Talents into the Path of the Grandmaster, but now, in this battlefield, he got an epiphany that opened him to more.
'Who said I can't add more to my Calamity Path?'
'I've been too limited by the normal conventions established by other Supers; I am not like other Supers!'
'I am me, one of the game developers of Dominator!'
As he came to that realization, it was like a dam broke in his head.
Shackles that originally bound his imaginations were set loose.
His imagination finally ran wild without bounds.
'All the paths of the Summoner main class were theorized by focusing on certain aspects of a Summoner's powers and seeking to amplify it even more'.
'Since I have more powers, what if I can add those to my Calamity Path?'
'What if I can increase my Titan bloodline powers even further and integrate them into creating an even more formidable Calamity Path?'
'What if I decide to even maximize the potential of my body's power even more by giving more focus towards the Diamond Beast-Body Path? Is it possible to combine this with my already complicated Path of the Grandmaster?'
'It should be possible!' His eyes gleamed with excitement.
'A Calamity Path can only be created based on the existing powers and advantages of a Super, and since I have the powers to act as a foundation for all these, I think I can combine all these into a single Calamity Path'.
'But…' His body shook in excitement. 'What if I can go even further?'
'What if I take the Beast Combatant path to an even more extreme and try to have a base control level of 100% with every single one of my contracted beasts before ascending to the Calamity Grade?'
'How powerful will I become then?' He felt goosebumps at the thought.
'But…' He shuddered in excitement. 'What if I can go even further?'
During this intense battle with the enemy beasts, he was able to tell how his theorized Calamity Path was already becoming but he also noticed some flaws.
Only his contracted beasts had a telepathic connection with him.
He had to actively communicate and give his tamed beasts signs before they knew what to do in his diamond meatgrinder formation. This introduced some lags between when he gave orders and when his beasts executed them.
It may not seem like much but in a battle of the very highest levels, tiny margins like this could decide victory and defeat.
Tiny margins like this could decide life and death.
And, the more his tamed beasts grew in the future, the more this problem would become prevalent, this was what brought this solution to his mind.
He shuddered at the mere thought of it. 'What if I actively integrate my Battle Controller sub class into my Calamity Path?'
'What if with it, I am somehow able to get an ability that will enable me to communicate telepathically with every single one of my tamed beasts?'
'How OP will I become them?'
'How abnormal will my Calamity Path become then?'
'This will become a Calamity Path that cannot be threaded by no one else but me, no one else fulfills all the requirements to create this Calamity Path'.
'This is a Calamity Path that is exclusive to me?'
His eyes widened in hype. 'Are there stronger Calamity Paths out there?'
'Will this be the strongest Calamity Path ever created?'
He had no idea but he was hyped for it, he was up for the challenge.
For a moment, Legolas let his beasts fight his battles alone as he brought out a book with a thick dark green cover and started rapidly scribbling away.
There was no guarantee that he would not forget everything after now.
He jotted down all the theories that he just arrived at.
He was determined to pursue them all to the end and create the ultimate Calamity Path, but for now, there was a job to do.
He had to let the Nak warriors evacuate to safety.

BOOM!
Leading with the Obsidian Spear again, a wave of black spear energy amplified by the powers of all 14 of the beasts in this diamond beast formation swept outward as 3 more beasts died to it.
Legolas predicted a furious counterattack from the beasts and got prepared, this was why he brought out the Lucius' Mirror.
This was the reward that he got from a ruin after years of traveling round the Minerva Star System as a free mercenary.
As all the attacks from the beasts came, Legolas charged forward and for the first time took the place of the Mud Fire Lion, he pointed the mirror out.
Bzzz!
A light shone from the mirror the next moment, attracting all the attacks into it as the mirror started shaking from the sheer amount of energy accumulated in it.
Then…
WHOOM!
All the energy was launched back in a massive attack!
No beast died, but over a dozen beasts were left heavily injured, leaving them vulnerable to a counterattack and Legolas was not sluggish.

Legolas changed as soon as he integrated with Predator.
All the other beasts gathered behind him as they formed a lance formation then with him taking the lead, they charged forward.
BOOM…!!!
It was like a clash of thunder!
All dozen beasts that were heavily injured died.
Most of the Nak warriors escaped from the planet before it met its fate at the hands of the Scarlet Macaw, Legolas also escaped at the nick of time.
Then…
BOOM!
Planet Maxum exploded to the Scarlet Macaw's attack.
