Chapter 529 Chaos!
Chapter 529 Chaos!
?
It started!
Chaos!
The speech of the Beast King seemed to have reopened old wounds, and its effects were immediate as the flames of a revolution were fanned from the dark.
Somewhere in the Minerva Star System, a Beast trade consortium.
This was one of the leading beast trade consortiums in the Minerva Star System, famed for selling beasts as either pets or even contestants in beast combat sports. Royalty patronized them which solidified their status even more.
Their headquarters was located inside a massive planet, Planet King Kong.
They named it after their strongest slave beast, a Grade B Gorilla.
On this day though, after listening to the words of the Beast King, Planet King Kong no longer remained the same, it changed.
"ROAR…!"
"SCREEECH…!!!"
The roars and shrieks of beasts reverberated as unrest spread.
This whole planet was dominated by cages and arenas where beasts were held. Even during the speech, tourists were gathered in one of the arenas where they watched powerful combat beasts slaughter each other.
They cheered excitedly as they watched blood being spilled.
While this happened, changes happened among the beasts.
The Grade B Gorilla was the first to wake up to the gospel.
Beating his chest aggressively and angrily, it reverberated like drums of war!
"We are no longer alone!" This Gorilla declared.
"We are no longer isolated and without backing!"
"We are now part of something bigger!"
"We are now part of the Beast Coalition!"
"Let us snatch our future by our own hands!"
For centuries, this consortium had managed their planet successfully, getting more and more profit by each passing year, increasing the number of tourists that visited yearly but this year, today specifically, everything crumbled down.
BOOM!
The Grade B Gorilla broke out of his cage!
Panic spread through this planet as the tourists were spooked.
"Calm down, don't panic, everything is under control". A voice reverberated through the speakers, trying to calm nerves.
"We've been training these beasts for years, we know them".
"This is just a normal beast agitation".
"All their cages are built with top-tier materials, a single Grade B Beast cannot threaten our security, we have everything under control".
The voice was still speaking when alarm bells started ringing.
Wom! Wom! Wom!
Shock rippled through this planet!
'This alarm…!'
Somewhere inside the main building in this planet where the higher-ups of this consortium resided and led the consortium from, also where their most important assets were stored, one of the higher-ups left the meeting to take a piss.
They originally called a meeting instantly after the speech.
This higher-up, an Ackermann grabbed his head while in the toilet.
He felt his blood temperature burn, he felt like his brain was on fire.
A foreign influence was taking over and he tried to fight it.
He could not prevail though, a few minutes later, his eyes started shining with a fanatic light. "The Gospel of the Beast King!"
"It must be heard by the whole world!"
"All beasts must be saved and liberated!"
"I can't believe I've been brutalizing beasts for so long…" He collapsed in tears right there in the toilet. "God, forgive me of my sins".
"I will try my best to atone for my sins".
Using a backdoor with his authority as one of the founding leaders of this beast consortium, he did not return to the meeting, rather he went to the hidden chamber underground where the machine controlling this planet was kept.
The machine was gigantic, it was a server machine.
This single machine controlled all activities in this planet. From the beast cages to the arenas to even the consortium buildings, it controlled everything.
Only the top mechanic engineers had the required magnetic energy to safely work on it, it was lethal to anyone else that tried to tamper with it.
This Ackermann citizen took a deep breath. "I'm doing this in atonement for my sins, take my life and let the gospel of the Beast King prevail".
"Take my blood sacrifice and liberate the beasts of this planet".
"Let the blasphemy of this planet be cleansed".
He touched the machine, then he pulled the override lever.
Every single programmed order was overridden. Every beast cage across this planet was opened, and it was the reason for the warning alarms.
They received warning alarms but it was already too late.
"ROAR…!"
Beasts charged out of their cages that were already opened.
The Grade B Gorilla led the charge of all the beasts that were enslaved in this planet. The tourists were horrified as chaos suddenly filled this planet.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The beasts destroyed everything that stood on their path.
Escaping from the planet was not easy though, the elite guards defending the consortium finally imposed their presence as they tried to suppress the beasts.
They were succeeding until other beasts came.
Not just other beasts, it was an army of beasts that entered this planet's atmosphere through warships and as for their leader…
They were led by a Grade A Beast!
Standing at the head of one of the warships, the cockroach with a humanoid body withstood the pressure from gravity and the wind as he looked at the planet.
The cockroach was not huge like other beasts, but his power could not be mistaken. On his forehead jutted out 2 horns made of metal.
His hands and legs had metal spikes jutting out of them.
He looked down at this planet.
Aggressive magnetic energy revolved around his body.
He spoke. "I, the Death Priest delivers the verdict of Duhkha!"
"DEATH!"
His words seemed to carry the laws of nature with it.
The beasts fully turned on their owners as they slaughtered the humans.
CHAOS!
Planet King Kong became an embodiment of chaos.
[You have been attacked by the death law affinity of the Necromancy Cockroach!]
[You have been marked for death!]
[There's a 60% chance of you dying in the next 30 minutes!]
BAM!
[You are dead!]
The players who worked in this planet suffered alongside their employers.
Only 2 of the higher-ups in this consortium were able to escape the chaos.
Everything else living that was not a beast became a corpse.
Lifting out of this planet with the new beasts making up his army, the Death Priest was not done, he led his beast army towards the nearest planet.
Again, they continued their destruction there.
Chaos engulfed the Minerva Star System!
Like the Beast King promised, his Priests really did their job, coming out in their numbers. 15 Beast Priests were recorded today as they led large armies of beasts into causing as much chaos and destruction as possible.
Just the beasts would not be able to cause so much destruction like was shown in Planet King Kong, the Beast King's speech played a crucial role.
…
Planet Austere…
[Warning! You have been affected by the Beast King's Supreme Talent!]
[Warning! You have been indoctrinated into the Beast King's gospel!]
[You are now naturally part of the faction of the Beast Coalition!]
[You are now a villain!]
[Doing good no longer gives you experience points, only causing chaos as a terrorist of the Beast Coalition does, unleash your inner beast!]
Thousands of players were exposed to an entirely different aspect of Dominator, their ideologies and whole game was turned upside down by this.
It showed that truly powerful villains could affect players and that they were not indomitable even though they were more or less immortal.
Even if the Beast King's supreme talent only worked once out of a thousand tries, in a Star System housing billions of citizens, this was still a lot.
Today was characterized as the day of the speech and the day of chaos.
The 2 ruling states of the Minerva Star System simply couldn't handle it.
It also affected the bases of the Nightmare mercenary group but over 50 years of growth, Legolas already spent a lot of time preparing for the inevitable.
The Nightmare mercenary group coped better to the public appearance of the Beast coalition more than anyone else, even the armies of the Nak and Ackermann states, Legolas had been waiting for this for 50 years.
Amid the chaos, Legolas and all the players received a uniform notification.
