Chapter 360 - Goals And Ambitions!
The Orca Revolution swept through a significant part of the 3 Great Seas that were attacked like a storm, leaving behind a lot of destruction.
Of course, with the presence of the hot-blooded Pugilist King, the Orcas did not dare to be too overbearing in the Hot Realm. Their main motive of attacking 3 Great Seas at the same time was to prove a point to the world.
During the rise of the current overlord, the Atlantis Empire, once the variant humans consolidated their power and started their conquest, they were not modest at all as they flexed their might to all of Oceania.
By setting their sights on the Origin Peak Sea which was the territory of the strongest Sea King at the time and winning, they indeed proved a point.
The opponent that they went up against and won against was the main reason why Atlantis was recognized worldwide as the overlord of Oceania.
The Ocean King was already seen as the peak of power in this world for so many centuries that once this terrifying beast finally died, all the fame, dread, and notoriety were transferred to the victors who ended its reign.
This was exactly what the Orcas planned to do.
In all of Oceania, perhaps, apart from Atlantis itself, and the powerful and cohesive Beast King Empire, there was no other beast Empire out there that could confidently say they were stronger than the Killer Whale Empire.
The best that other Beast Empires could claim was that they were on par with the Empire of the Killer Whales, saying anything otherwise was blasphemous.
This notoriety was not unfounded. Since antiquity age, Orcas were known as some of the most powerful predators in all of Oceania.
Their talent as predators were there at the very top. The fact that apart from Space Beast Empires, they were the ones who produced the most predators who later awoke advanced pinnacle magic domains said a lot.
Of the strongest Beast Empires in the world, it was a rarity that they had multiple Black tier leaders since Black tier predators found it hard moving together.
2 Tigers cannot live in a mountain. This was the same scenario, 2 Black tier predators could not live with one willingly submitting to the other, but the Killer Whale Empire was able to work around this shortcoming.
In all of Oceania, the Killer Whale Empire was the only Beast Empire that had 3 Black tier predators in their ranks. Even the prosperous Beast King Empire only had 2 Black tier predators which said a lot about their peak might.
All 3 Black tier predators of the Killer Whale Empire had advanced pinnacle magic domains; they were genius predators of their generation.
King Orcanan was a powerful Space Domain magician, so was Queen Orcarem also, but the real ruler of the Killer Whale Empire was King Orcadom.
King Orcadom was a living Orca, but this powerful predator managed to awaken a rare advanced pinnacle soul-related magic domain that was extremely similar to that of the Necromancy King himself.
With this soul magic domain, King Orcadom was like a fish in its element in the Dungeon of Souls. He was the main reason why the Killer Whale Empire focused on the Dungeon of Souls as their main conquest.
Though they did not dare to be too overbearing in the Hot Realm to avoid angering the hot-blooded Pugilist King which was not worth it, the powerful Orcas had no qualms with angering the even more notorious Necromancy King.
Of all the Sea Kings still living and at their peak today, the Beast King was widely recognized as the undisputed strongest, while the Necromancy King was recognized as the undisputed 2nd strongest.
If their beast armies were removed from the ridiculous equation, further analysis showed that the Necromancy King would be the strongest Sea King currently which motivated the Orcas' motive all the more.
The ambitious Orcas sought to replicate the success of the Atlantis Empire.
With the massive success example that was displayed by the Atlantis Empire, Beast Empires were no longer as scared of Sea Kings. They were no longer held in that untouchable pedestal that they were held in the past.
Attacking the Green Mist Sea was just a side attraction to them. They attacked this Great Sea because no powerful Sea King was in charge of it at the moment, it was all power play to hype their actions as much as possible.
Though attacking the Green Mist Sea was a side attraction to them, to the creatures who lived in this Great Sea themselves, it was a different case entirely.
The beasts living in the Green Mist Sea were experiencing the darkest period of their lives in all their history.
With Killer Whale armies invading with impunity, overwhelming them with their powerful beast soldiers, beasts died daily in this Great Sea, clans and beast families were attacked and annihilated in mere hours.
The death and suffering reached such a high that most of the predators who lived in the deserted regions suffered it the most since the Orcas were not interested in investing more power to attack more established regions.
Among the beast clans that lived in the deserted regions who suffered the ruthless death sweep of the Orcas was Leroy's clan.
After this turtle's encounter with the Great White Shark, Sebastian, after the annihilation of their fierce archenemies, the gates of growth and development were opened to them as the Leroy clan started a rapid expansion.
In just a few months, the originally small clan grew so much that they became the undisputed rulers of the cave, subduing all the other beast clans.
After spending a few more months consolidating all their gains, Leroy enjoying the feeling of power, he appreciated the opportunity of meeting Sebastian more than ever, but too much power was detrimental at times.
After enjoying the feeling of wielding so much power, Leroy craved more power. Against the wishes of his closest confidants like Big Group and Spankster, he decided to expand his clan outside the cave which was an abomination before.
Once the clan head decided, the others could not go against it. The clan expanded, fortunately, all their fears never came and the clan prospered, growing even more powerful with time.
When the Leroy clan was at its peak, the Orca Revolution started.
If they were still in their cave, perhaps the overbearing Killer Whales would have disdained to take them out, but their growth meant that they became eye-catching targets to the predators who were out on a mission.
Against Orcas, the clan of misfits that was created by Leroy could not offer a meaningful resistance, they were swept away like mere dust.
Leroy watched as all his clan members died. He entered the fray with his war-gear himself, but he hardly made a difference. He was beaten to the point of death before he was left to rot and die.
At the last few minutes before he was to die, Leroy's only thoughts were regret. Why did he not listen to Big Group and his other close confidants?
Before he died though, he experienced a twist of fate, he was saved by members of the Turtle Confraternity.
Given another grasp at life, Leroy clung tight to it with a newfound purpose that he was ready to give more than his all for.
Leroy through his new organization started a quest for revenge.
He wholeheartedly embraced the notion and current main mission of this cult which was to mildly hinder the actions of the Killer Whales.
He took it to an even more extreme. With his second life, he believed that he lived only to see Orcas die.
He would stop the Orca revolution even if it meant he would forfeit his life.
This was his new purpose! This was his life goal!
