Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

Chapter 460 Calamity Grade Battle!

?

BOOM!

The Bug Conqueror escaped Planet Darvis' gravity in an instant!

No sound reverberated in space but in the mind of the gigantic Crocodile, he could hear a sound of something rapidly slicing through space due to the sheer speed and enthusiasm at which the even more gigantic Bug charged at him.

'Where am I?'

Even as he got prepared to defend himself, he observed.

'Where is this void?'

He observed the desolate void, the floating asteroids, the Planet floating before him from afar, the strange Cosmic Bug and the ancient vibe emanating from his surroundings, his eyes narrowed.

'This is no longer the Minerva Star System!'

His face dropped. 'Where did I teleport to?'

'Besides, how many months did I spend drifting in the higher dimensions?'

His thoughts were interrupted by the rapidly advancing Bug. "A WORTHY OPPONENT!"

"FINALLY, A WORTHY SUBJECT AFTER CENTURIES OF BOREDOM!"

The Bug Conqueror's voice betrayed his extreme excitement, clearly, he was ecstatic as he rapidly closed the distance to the Crocodile and got set to attack.

By now, the Crocodile already analyzed his situation. 'Not good!'

'From this guy's size and speed, he is clearly at the upper spectrum of the Calamity Grade. Besides, I already fought a fierce battle before being forced to escape and I had to float in the higher dimensions for probably months'.

'I'm weak now, there's no way I can survive a head-on confrontation'.

'I need to escape!'

'Sh*t!'

As if reading his intentions, the Bug Conqueror gave him no more time to react, the gigantic Bug almost as big as a Planet attacked.

There was no sound as the Bug's long tail lashed forward for the attack again. This time, it carried so much speed and power that even space was cut apart.

'I can't dodge it!' The Crocodile retaliated.

The next moment, this massive Crocodile no longer stayed idle. A gigantic gray metal armor materialized, covering its massive body even as a weapon set in the form of sharp metals covering its claws were equipped.

Instantly, the vibe and energy presence of this Crocodile changed.

Activating one of its special abilities, this Calamity Grade A Crocodile opened it's huge maws before slamming them shut with power as its teeth ground against each other, inducing a force of epic proportions!

A mighty force was generated in space the next moment!

Forceful shockwaves blasted everywhere across space.

The powerful force affected the Bug Conqueror but they only stopped him for a moment, most importantly they left him even more excitement since it was confirmation that this Calamity Grade was the real deal.

The next moment, with a cackle, this mighty Bug continued.

"BOW BEFORE ME!"

"FOLLOW THE TIDES OF THE CHANGING EPOCH AND JOIN THE WINNING SIDE!"

"BECOME MY NUMBER 1 SUBJECT!"

"SUBMIT TO ME AND BECOME THE COMMANDER OF MY ARMIES!"

"Get Lost!" The Crocodile roared in an annoyed manner as they finally closed all the distance.

Then, right there in space, a cosmic battle of epic proportions started!

…

Planet Darvis…

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Despite the fact that the Calamity Grade battlefield was thousands of kilometers away in space, the shockwaves of the battle were felt in the planet.

The Bug Conqueror's forceful intrusion into the planet already messed with not just it's crust but it's gravity.

Planet Darvis was now standing at an edge, volcanoes erupted spontaneously. Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, they picked up at random intervals as the effects of such rough intrusion raged dangerously.

All these were amplified even more by the Calamity Grade battle in space.

The battle between the 2 Monsters brought this planet to the verge of death.

While all these happened, Champion Onana, Legolas, and the other champions remained still. Legolas was lost in thought. 'It already exceeded our scope; this is now a war between Calamity Grades'.

He felt slightly grateful as since without the unexpected arrival of the Crocodile, Planet Darvis would have been run over already but at the same time, he felt lost and defeated since he could come up with no scenario of victory.

He racked his brain for ideas but none of them had a semblance of victory.

'Planet Darvis has no hope'. His eyes were hollow in horror.

'The President is already infected and guaranteed for death'.

'The Space Bugs are overrunning us already'.

'We've tried but can't assassinate the tenacious Unique Space Bugs'.

'As for the high-end battle, we stand no chance against the Bug Conqueror. The Crocodile seems injured which makes the Bug likely to emerge victorious'.

'If he somehow manages to convince the Crocodile to become his subject and survive, then we are truly screwed'.

'Even if he doesn't convince the Crocodile, even in his weakened state after the battle with the Crocodile, I doubt we stand a chance at defeating him'.

'Even with Champion Onana's trump card…'

'Is there really nothing I can do?'

'Is there really nothing we can do?'

He cracked his brain but nothing came. 'We are done for'.

Legolas felt worse, he felt powerless, he lost all will to fight.

He finally experienced that feeling that Doctor Strange felt after viewing all the multiple possible timelines when facing the inevitable supervillain, Thanos.

No matter how much they tried to maneuver around it, there was nothing much they could do before absolute power.

Champion Onana and the other champions already arrived at the same conclusion as they simply remained still and watched, no longer having the motivation to take the fight to the enemy.

In this moment of despair was when an unlikely mentality hero rose.

Inside the Presidential Villa…

"M-Mr. President?" Christensen coughed blood as the mutated fangs of the President dug into his flesh, injuring him even more.

Blade rushed into the scene at this moment as he forcefully subdued the President and High Official Eleanor, pinning them to the ground.

Even as all these happened, Christensen kept his gaze pinned on President Shanks' eyes, hoping to prove himself wrong but he was right.

Tears welled in his eyes. 'The President is gone…'

Looking into the President's eyes, he no longer saw those compassionate and always worried eyes about the wellbeing of the planet and its inhabitants, all he saw was bestial and rabid violence.

Knowing the fate of all those that were infected before, he knew that these 2 important individuals in Planet Darvis were already a lost cause.

Despite knowing, he found it hard to accept the truth.

He collapsed on his knees, ignoring the pain and the blood gushing from his chest as he clenched his fists. "Why?"

"Why him?" He was having a mental breakdown.

While asking these questions, recollections came to his brain, they flashed like scenes in a movie theater, he felt like he was living them again.

Scenes of his battle alongside his master against the Grade C Frost Wolf in Palm Island after he stole Brutus floated to his head…

He remembered how they struggled and were the underdogs…

Scenes of all the significant battles that he had fought alongside his master and his comrades floated to him. The battle of Hellfire Mountains, the battle against the Nak Navy when they still opposed Planet Darvis.

In them all, he noticed one thing, they were always the weaker ones.

They were always the underdogs.

They were always expected to do the impossible to win.

"Why?" He roared.

"Why are we always the underdogs?"

"Is that the price to pay to be the good people or is fate just against us?"

He looked at President Shanks again as he struggled against Blade, he gritted his teeth. "That is the fate of the underdog".

"I hate being the underdog".

Christensen looked up with pure hatred in his eyes at the flying Space Bugs that caused destruction everywhere, his eyes resonated pure hatred and malice.

He watched as the blood of his comrades flowed everywhere.

He watched as they died.

Crack!

His knuckles cracked due to clenching his fists. "I hate being the underdog!"

"Being the underdog brings suffering and death, as long as I live, I live to channel my hate against it. I will not stop till I and my comrades become so strong that we are no longer underdogs".

"I will not stop until we become the strongest in the universe!"

At these declarations, something shifted in him.

His pain stimulated anger, and his anger stimulated growth, this incredible resonance affected a certain beast that was fighting on the battlefield.

After another clash with a Space Bug, Frigga suddenly paused.

A familiar feeling returned to this mythical beast.

Christensen's anger channeled through him and on the spot, Frigga's power exploded as this Snow Fenrir regained his peak Grade B powers!

"AWOOOOO…!!!" His howl was like the trumpet of hell!

Frigga's recovery affected Christensen and all his affiliated beasts, on the spot, they all experienced a breakthrough as a mighty explosion of power exploded.

Christensen become a Demi-God Summoner!

"I hate being the underdog!" His voice reverberated with anger and hate.

"I WILL NOT STOP TILL I BECOME THE BEST!"

BOOM!

Christensen pounced at the nearest Unique Space Bug!
