Ocean Master

"Prepare the rapid-laser turrets for fire, time in 00:00:08!"

"Erect the shield generator, install the T-937-B19 chemical formula!"

"Bring the physical armor damage reflectors online! Permission to activate special defense- Plasma Tech approved!"

"Pin the 2 Red tiers down with our ultra-grade sensors, bombard them with ballistic missiles! Tear their skin open with the G-grade Torpedoes! Pinpoint their heat signals and unleash the heat seekers!"

"Special unit V, warm up the Positron Rifles!"

"Special unit A, warm up the Kinetic Rifles!"

"Hold steady, keep your ears peeled open, and operate with your hands and your heart!"

"Attack!"

Tututututututututututututu!

Rapid-laser fire erupted, submerging the environment with a noise like those of a thousand buzzing mosquitoes while the temperature rapidly heated up as deadly laser beams cut through the water resistance with astonishing speed towards their targets.

Once the tripartite hegemonic balance was formed, every other force in this battlefield was relegated to the background though they were all in it.

None of the other predator forces could escape, the 3 hegemons of this struggle would make sure of that even as they battled it out.

The Rogue Snake Overlord was the strongest monster of this ocean volcano region, he had been the strongest for centuries, at least until the Atlantians came and started engaging in their dangerous experiments.

Though this mutated serpent lived in this volcano all his life, as a Red tier predator, he already had the qualifications and had already explored the outside world extensively.

The iconic Annihilators warship that belonged to the Atlantian army was not a foreign term to this old monster serpent, he knew too well about their might.

Ancestor Horamon of the Turtle Confraternity also knew of this, this was why both Red tier predators calmed down and decided to strategize, but Commander T.Y blew all their calculation chances away with a courageous display.

This Atlantian navy Commander didn't have so many misgivings to engaging in a battle with the Red tier predators.

The notion of playing it safe already disappeared once it got to this extent. The unique skill's possession was already at risk, in the plan, this was the time where everything could be done just to get possession of the ultimate inheritance.

They already restarted the game, playing it safe would not work, it was only when they actively took risks that they would get revolutionary results.

This was why this Commander led his Annihilator to attack immediately.

The rapid-laser turrets were always the go-to reliable attack mode for an Annihilator warship to initiate a battle. This time was no different as the terrifying heat and searing power of the lasers bore holes through the predators' bodies.

Red tier predators were one of the most powerful influences in all of Oceania, there was no way for such deadly predators to get injured so easily but the laser beams succeeded in irritating and temporarily keeping them in place.

These beasts were not push-overs though, the Rogue Snake Overlord and Ancestor Horamon both had a dignity that their pride pushed them to preserve.

The rapid lasers beams kept them in place, but not their magic domain.

The Rogue Snake Overlord was a pure fire domain extremist, while Ancestor Horamon was a turtle cultist who was well-versed in the origin laws of water. The Ancestor was an authority figure in the boundless water domain.

These 2 predators were not brothers, and definitely not friends also, they were just victims of circumstances and the current circumstance prompted the both of them to retaliate against this common opponent together. 

"Special Skill: Flames of the Fire Dragon!"

"Skill: Water is Life; Water dictates Death!"

The enormous serpent's body suddenly vibrated as it shed its outer skin, the floating dead outer skin suddenly ignited, turning into a great fuel source to found the creation of a terrible fire disaster.

The water evaporated rapidly, other parts boiled fiercely, the temperature of the seamount as a whole rose as the skill came into life in the form of a huge ball of fire that was almost as enormous as the serpent.

This fireball compressed further before being hauled at the Annihilator.

As for Ancestor Horamon, this cultist's methods were more gentle but more deadly in an assassin stalking in the dark manner.

The water vibrated slowly at first under this master's control, in milliseconds, the steady vibrations turned into a full-fledged shake of gigantic proportions.

Suddenly, a part of the water in this seamount seemed to be cut and isolated away from the rest, forming a cube-shaped unique water body. 

Under this master's meticulous control over this magic domain, the water formed a terrifying wall of water that soon transformed into a tsunami with terrible cutting power and crushing force. 

As the water moved towards the Annihilator warship, even the origin laws seemed to scream in awe at the terrifying display as the green glow of the Green Mist Sea intensified several folds.

This was a move that could crush Sebastian 10 times over without resistance.

Despite the powerful display, the Annihilator remained focused on its goals as the crew manning this warship obeyed the orders of their esteemed commander to the letter, accomplishing his goals like they were his arms and legs.

A huge blue energy shield was erected around the warship, and before the collision, a chemical was injected which turned the shield purple.

Boom!

Both skills finally collided against the shield. As expected, the terrible force of the skills popped the shield but it succeeded in fulfilling its job of protecting the Annihilator from the attack.

Vroom!

Without warning, the forward boosters of this warship were activated as it picked up speed like a bull on steroids. The Annihilator rushed into the midst of the predators who were still battling among themselves.

Commander T.Y had the same ideas as the Rogue Snake Overlord, the easiest way to find the inheritor of the unique skill was to simply kill them all.

Bam! Bam!

The desperate beasts attacked the warship who easily shrugged off the damage while occasionally reflecting physical damage through the warship armor's damage reflectors.

These were minor though, in this bloody melee between metal and beast, the plasma tech weapons that surrounded the Annihilator were the real game-changers that terrorized the beasts.

These extremely hot weapons that could be morphed into any form gave the warship absolute protection as every melee battle became a practice session.

Every mutated beast that dared to come close never found an opportunity to regret it. They all died under the might of these technological applications.

While the Annihilator did this, it did not forget its 2 primary opponents. After pinning the 2 Red tier predators down with its sensors, it kept on bombarding the terrifying beasts with ballistic missiles, torpedoes, heat seekers, and a bunch of other high-impact weapons that could deal terrifying damage.

The 2 Red tier predators also continued wreaking havoc everywhere while dealing slight damage to the warship, but this stalemate persisted.

The resources and exotic metals that were sourced to create the Annihilator were just so ridiculous. Oceania was a magic world filled with magic possibilities, and this also extended to possibilities of even more powerful mineral resources.

With such sturdy metals, the Annihilator could not be bullied by the predators in close range and they had zero changes at a farther distance.

The Annihilator was a beast of a machine!

For powerful and elusive predators like the speed demon, the champion digger, Old Mak, and other powerful purple tier predators, the Annihilator relegated the role of targeting these enemies to the soldiers aboard it.

With their highly optimized positron rifles, kinetic rifles, and laser guns, these elite soldiers dealt traumatizing damage to their targets.

With an indomitable vessel like the Annihilator backing them up, they were free to wreak havoc and deal as much damage as possible to the beasts.

With Commander T.Y in charge, the Annihilator revealed no weak points, not even for a second. This Commander was the main pivot that kept the powerful warship operating at slightly above maximum capacity.

Commander T.Y flaunted his acumen as an extremely capable commander again through this battle, the 2 Red tier predators never once had a chance against the Annihilator that he commanded.

The Commander's astonishing success was also attributed to the unrelenting support from the Dark Sage warship of the Dark Elves.

Unlike the Atlantians', the Dark Elves Dark Sage was a pure magic warship.

Filled all over with shadow magic and dark magic attack methods, this was an elusive warship that could deal terrible one-hit damage when needed and could also engage in constant harassment against enemies.

The Dark Sage served as the perfect support vessel to the tyrannical Annihilator. Elusiveness and Aggressiveness formed the perfect combination.

One thing was for sure, this battle was not about to end soon.

…

While the number of Great White Shark deaths that were recorded in the inheritance ground was painful, Old Mak and his group of survivors did not have the luxury to pay attention to that as they were preoccupied with surviving.

Old Mak was once again at the helm, this Great White Shark took full throttle of his clan as he led his companions on this charge to safety.

Old Mak gave his all to save more of his clansmen, he was not about to allow more of them to die, he was now ready to give his life for his clansmen.

The more clansmen died today, the more he valued their lives and vowed to protect the survivors more.

Despite his resolute willpower, what really troubled Old Mak the most was the absence of his 2 students and the most talented shark that he had ever seen.

Just thinking of the terrible things that may have befallen these 3 clansmen that he had special feelings for pushed him to the edge.

He almost broke due to these setbacks but only his conviction to protect more of his clansmen kept him going.

"I will not stop!"

"I will not rest until everyone is safe!"

Old Mak kept on reassuring his motives amid the raging battle.
