?
Adrian deployed all eight of his arms and release numerous webs towards the wormholes created by the Tumultuous Leviathan. At first, the wormholes of the Tumultuous Leviathan were repelling the Cosmic Silk Webs that Adrian created. Adrian even felt the repulsion as if he was connected to the webs themselves.
The webs were like nerves that Adrian could feel and see everything like he was extending his mind. Coupled with Adrian's omniscient view, the webs created a clear image as if he can view the world around him like a diorama. The world became easier to web as if he can manipulate things with just a simple twitch of his finger.
Adrian easily manipulated the energy that the cosmic silk webs possessed as they became more fluid in motion. The harsh energy that the wormholes have were now letting the silk webs inside as if it was the Tumultuous Leviathan entering. This sudden change did not prompt the attention of the Tumultuous Leviathan as it could not feel the webs since Adrian masked the energy very well.
Adrian did not expect that the world could be viewed in an even more intricate detail than when he is in his normal demon form. He was being inconspicuous as he did not want to get the attention of the Tumultuous Leviathan. He already infiltrated the wormholes with his webs and eluded the attention of the Tumultuous Leviathan but that will not be forever. If the Tumultuous Leviathan runs on instinct, then it could sense the looming threat that Adrian gives it.
"Let us make this quick before he realizes. No... make it faster so that it can be caught in the web when it already realizes its mistakes." Adrian muttered as he actually sprouted more insect arms from behind him to create more webs that went inside of the wormholes.
Adrian already got the connection now all he needs to do is map out everything to the point that he will know where the Tumultuous Leviathan exits. This operation is exceedingly challenging for him as this is the first time that he attempted this. This is the first time he even possessed Kenos at all as the little cosmic bug barely had any combat ability.
Adrian's webs snakes across the wormholes and at the same time mapped the inside. Adrian's brain would have overloaded trying to process the information, but he was getting aided by Kenos and Paradox. Kenos made sure that the information would be sent to him in bulk while Adrian and Paradox processed it. Assimilation means that both Kenos and Adrian could function as the former has a strange passive ability called Cosmic Mind that lets him process the world a bit differently than normal beings.
Kenos could only see things in another perspective as all he basically sees is energy. The only person that he could see the face would none other be his own master when they are in the Soul Chamber. Adrian even tried Kenos' perspective for a bit, and he almost puked from all the colors that flashed before his eyes. The mind of Kenos and Adrian are also built differently which is why he could not easily see the world in the former's perspective.
"Just a little more." Adrian added as he has already scattered all the cosmic silk webs inside of the numerous wormholes.
From the wormhole networks, Adrian could see that all of them were interconnected and that each passage can easily lead to another. He could even see points in the passages where the Tumultuous Leviathan used to create new ones. Creating new passages required the Tumultuous Leviathan to close off one of the existing ones which meant that the number of wormholes themselves are limited.
Adrian pushed himself to the point that his mana dropped to 15% which is incredibly low even for his standards. It is thanks to Kenos' mind that he was not suddenly affected by Mana Overdose because he used a large amount in a short amount of time. It is also due to his strong body that he was able to negate the effects such as his heart stopping. Massive usage of mana in a short span of time can literally make one's heart shut down as the mana circles are located in the heart.
"I guess I should thank the durability and the demon core for such instances. Now, let us see where you are currently hiding." Adrian stated as he recreated the entire wormhole connectivity using his mind.
Adrian even created a red flickering image to represent the Tumultuous Leviathan. He even recreated the movement and passage of the Tumultuous Leviathan in its series of wormholes. This interaction made Adrian smile, but he would be late to alert the others if he cannot share what he envisions. Adrian could warn them, but he might be a step too late in doing so as he would need to actually speak.
"We can connect them to our mind, master. We will use the webs to connect to their spine to send out the detailed images that they need. We might need more mana as we cannot cover all of the people here." Paradox stated as Kenos has not yet developed his full vocabulary.
"Is that so? It is terrifying to imagine what we are going to do but this should be done for us to win. Also, we do not need to give it to all people here but only the ones that can make a huge difference." Adrian stated as he counted about a hundred people.
"With that amount of people, our mana would be enough." Paradox stated.
"Let us defeat the boss monster then." Adrian stated as he smiled.

"Ah!" Solstice exclaimed as she suddenly felt a jolt behind her and reached out to check what it is, but a voice suddenly echoed in her mind. This is the case for all the people that he chose.
"Do not cut the web or rather it would take a great effort to even do it. I am barely maintaining it using my own mana. I have already deciphered the wormhole network and I will now give all of you the image that I see." Adrian stated but there were still some that cut off the connection.
Adrian did not blame those that cut the connection, but he also did not try to reconnect it. In the end, about 67 people made the connection work as these are the people Adrian believe that can change the course of the battle. This would be the biggest regret of those that cut the connection, but they do not know of that.
"Let us give them a live feed." Adrian stated as he looked even more determined than before because there were people that rejected his invitation to work together.
There were still people that did not believe that they can see what Adrian sees but they were beyond shocked as images started to flow into their minds. It was like there was someone uploading memories into their minds via the web connection. It was terrifying but amazing at the same time because this can change courses of wars. The way that information is given is both discreet and extremely detailed.
The images of three red snakelike beings could be seen entering three different passages. One of the smaller Tumultuous Leviathan headed towards a group that was farther from Elder Bronx. One could clearly see that the boss monster was indeed evading the Arch Demons as it did not want to be near one. The Tumultuous Leviathan would have easily done so but Adrian exists in this world.
"Finally, I can grab you! You are one slippery loach!" Elder Bronx shouted as he appeared above the smaller Tumultuous Leviathan and slammed it towards the sea.
Elder Bronx was able to grab the Tumultuous Leviathan because he coated his entire body with a malleable force shell that could grab beings made of mana. The current form of the Tumultuous Leviathan is one such beast as it is made of mana which could harden and soften when it needed. The Tumultuous Leviathan could not escape the clutches of Elder Bronx and slammed it to the bottom of the sea.
The other smaller Tumultuous Leviathan showed up in the group where Adrian can easily reach. With a quick swipe of his mirror, he sent his guild members along with the Evergreen guild elites. The Tumultuous Leviathan looked shocked to suddenly being cornered and tried to escape. Unfortunately for the Tumultuous Leviathan, Solstice was there, and she has already collected enough blood.
"You will not be getting anywhere." Solstice shouted as she created a massive net of blood that she collected from all of the players that were hurt near her.
The other Tumultuous Leviathan appeared in an area where Adrian does not have a connection with anyone. They thought that they could catch the Tumultuous Leviathan, but
they did not anticipate it fast enough. In the end, the smaller Tumultuous Leviathan escaped back into the wormhole before it would get caught.
