Chapter 236 - Battle For The Inheritance; Hidden Monsters!
"Secure the inheritance entrance, now!"
"Secure the inheritance entrance, now!"
This sentence kept on reverberating through the minds of the Atlantian soldiers, it kept on agitating them, they wanted to wake up immediately but they could not which was frustrating.
While the inheritance spread a feeling of desire into the predators, it placed an illusion curse on the Atlantians which only Captain Omega was able to break free from after just a few seconds.
This was an illusion curse that could be broken faster if the target had extremely strong willpower that was trained with time or was stimulated by strong emotions like loyalty, fear, or anger.
While the remaining Atlantian soldiers suffered against this, the predators directly went on a rampage since they were not restricted.
Boom! Boom!
A stampede! This was a water-mutated beast stampede!
The frenzied mutated beasts erupted with their greatest strength, all to be the one to get to this ultimate price that was up in the air.
Those with tail fins flapped their tail with all the power that they could muster, those with legs jumped as high as they could, those with webbed feet pushed the water as hard as they could to swim faster.
Despite all these, speed was impossible if an obstacle was obstructing your front. The beasts were too close to each other, they obstructed each other's path.
Too impatient to ride it out the traffic way, these predators easily decided to ride it out the rough way. If diplomacy is impossible, then fists, claws, and teeth would certainly do the job.
Crunch!
Bam! Bam!
The frenzied predators attacked each other in a bloody manner, not caring about their injuries or the state of their body, all they cared about was how much damage they could deal with their opponent and how fast they could go.
In such a chaotic battle environment, the vulnerable Atlantian soldiers who still couldn't move were the victims. At this moment, not even the powerful Captain Omega could protect them all.
The beasts moved with such momentum that they were ready to steamroll through the Atlantian soldiers who were hindering them the previous time, but at the last moment, the Atlantian soldiers were stimulated.
They all felt humiliated.
They were not stimulated when the mission that their race gave them was on the line and was under the threat of being jeopardized, they only got stimulated when their life was placed on the line.
They all felt humiliated and ashamed, their loyalty to the race was still not enough. This situation to them felt like they just committed an unforgivable crime.
At this moment, they channeled all their anger that was fueled by the humiliation and shame at the beasts who equally channeled all their force of desire for the inheritance back at them.
A tug of war started.
Boom! Boom!
Both sides clashed like the clash between a cat and a dog, there were cuts, stabs, sword and claw slashes, and also biting.
Almost immediately after this battle started, casualties started appearing. The casualties increased with such a speed; driven by the desire of both sides that it quickly broke the record for the fastest deaths in a second in any battle.
The Atlantians fought like a shark who just saw blood, while the predators fought like a dog who got deprived of its food and bone.
Nothing could stop them.
Everything that happened after the arrival of the inheritance took only a few moments, so both sides were still in the process of acclimatizing to the situation, especially the Atlantian Division Fleet.
When the illusion curse was placed, it was not just on soldiers who were on the water, it also affected the soldiers and crew that were huddled in the warships.
Because of this, the most important weapon of the Atlantians, their 50+ warships were eventually rendered useless. This was not for too long though, because the soldiers and crew manning them finally started waking up.
As soon as they all woke up, the warships finally came online again.
"We're waiting for your orders, Captain…"
"BOMBARD THEM!"
An already furious Captain Omega roared at his soldiers. They didn't need any confirmation again, the warships received the order and started releasing their massive load of weapons furiously.
Boom! Boom!
The beasts were directly plunged into hell by the fierce firepower.
Orange lights of explosions filled the battlefield as the main weapon of the warships wreaked havoc, leaving the predators in a scene of pure chaos.
In just a few seconds to a minute, the fierce firepower of the warships brought a sense of organization to the originally chaotic battlefield. What was exactly happening inside the battle could now be understood.
For the first time since this battle started, the Atlantians finally caught their breath. They finally regained their tempo and their style.
Unlike the beasts who fought chaotically with their skills and body adaptations, they were soldiers and they fought in units. In an organized battlefield were they able to display their strength in its full splendor.
Captain Omega officially took command of his Black Mamba Division Fleet for the first time after the Sea King Inheritance arrived and set itself up.
"Soldiers, our mission is the inheritance entrance!"
"Once we get the entrance, we are one step closer to victory. And when we control the entrance, the battle would be as good as won already!"
"Right now, I want the best of you all!"
"Give me your best! Persevere with me and let's make Atlantis proud!"
"For Atlantis!"
"For Atlantis!"
Captain Omega was a simple leader, he was not too outspoken and his speech was that simple but this simple speech was all that it took to stimulate his soldiers to get the best out of them.
Sometimes, reputation speaks louder than words. Captain Omega's reputation in the Division Fleet was more than what the words of any other outspoken leader would achieve.
This was the hidden power in individual strength.
As soon as the Atlantian soldiers received the words of their Captain, it was like they received doses of Adrenaline stimulants as they erupted with power that was far more than they've been releasing so far.
This time, organized and ready, the Atlantian soldiers revealed the lethality that they were renowned for throughout Oceania.
With their weapons, they became what could only be described as a stabbing sword as they stabbed through the hearts of the mutated beasts, injuring them where it hurt the most.
In the end, these beasts were just random groups of mutated beasts who were simply attracted here by the inheritance. Against a prepared troop of Atlantian soldiers, they would easily fall apart.
The Atlantian soldiers tore through them and ripped them apart.
In just 2 minutes, they overcame all the obstacles that were before them as they got closer to the entrance of this Sea King Inheritance.
Now, they were only a few meters away from their target but this target still seemed out of their reach. At the last moment, a new variable appeared.
Rumble!
The Atlantian soldiers hastily blocked with their shields as rocks were hauled everywhere by an unknown force. While they dodged, the deep scanners of their warships immediately scanned to pinpoint the new enemy.
It did not take them more than a second before they narrowed down on the enemy, it was a mutated Rock Monster that was originally hiding among the rocks that were spread across the seamount.
This monster was attracted to the seamount a few days ago, but on seeing nothing, it simply decided to burrow into the seamount and sleep here for some time. It never knew that such an intense battle would erupt here.
The fierce attraction by the Sea King inheritance forcibly woke it up. It was at this moment that it woke up, and on seeing the soldiers that were before it, it simply snorted and started smashing its way across.
The most dangerous fact about it was that it was a purple-tier Rock Monster. It smashed its way through the Atlantian troops without facing any resistance.
"Shoot it down!"
Captain Omega did not try to devise tactics to finish this monster, he simply ordered his warships to finish the job. The tense state of the situation made him decide to act as fast as possible.
At the back of his mind, he knew that these were not their main enemies so they had to take care of these minor characters as soon as possible.
Almost immediately after he gave the order, one of the warships readjusted its aim before charging up for the ultimate shot to take down the Monster.
But before it could shoot…
Whoosh!
What seemed like green vines suddenly shot out from the warship that was closest to it. Since the warships were arranged in a tight formation, this warship was unable to react on time as the green vines immediately tied it up tightly.
The next moment, the warship that attacked opened its front like a mouth as a terrifying tongue adaptation shot out with force.
The tongue elongated and wrapped around the warship before squeezing.
On seeing this, only one word reverberated in Captain Omega's mind.
"A Purple-tier Mutated Chameleon!"
