Chapter 394 - The Mighty Leviathon!
With Eliana's help in the form of the magic gadget that she brought; the Space Beast hunting mission just became a lot more important to Sebastian.
With the incredible utility of this magic gadget, he just couldn't fantom how valuable it actually was. He was grateful for her help.
With the Codex Suppression, the Space Beast could be temporarily suppressed to the purple tier realm, thereby making Sebastian alter his plans since he could now take the hunt personal.
Against a Red tier predator, Sebastian stood no chance not to talk of when this predator was a Space Beast to boot.
But if this Space Beast was a purple-tier predator, Sebastian would be damned if he didn't claim the opportunity to battle this worthy opponent.
Since evolving to the purple tier realm, Sebastian had fought some equal-tiered opponents, but none of them have managed to give him a challenge.
From the stories that he already read about Space Beasts and his extensive research about them, he knew that he finally found a worthy opponent.
Sebastian didn't need to ask Eliana why she did this, she declared her reasons though he was not about to ask.
"I want to see how prepared you are for the exalted title; I want to see how you will fare when going against the best of your tier".
After listening to her, Sebastian was like. "Fear not, I got this!"
Once the Megalodon and his assistant were taken into the strike force team, the Clown Empire's deep strike force finally continued their journey with Sebastian's military-grade shuttle on auto-pilot following behind them.
Locating the Space Beast seemed to be even more of a hassle than when Sebastian located the deep strike team.
For the first time, Sebastian was exposed to the high-grade technology that was used by warships of this caliber, the most prominent being the warships' connection to Oceania's version of a satellite.
According to Eliana, Oceania was all water but there was still something akin to a sky here. Sebastian had never tried to swim up to try if he could see the top of Oceania, he finally understood the reason.
He never dared to do it because his brain was protecting him in a subtle manner that he was always unaware of, swimming to a depth high enough could kill any predator according to Eliana.
According to beast scientists of the Clown Empire, Oceania had a membrane that separated it as a planetary dimension from other planetary dimensions.
If predators could get to this membrane and get past it, it was like getting past the escape velocity on earth which enables free space travel.
The only difference was that this membrane was countless times more powerful than the region of earth's escape velocity.
Only some powerful pinnacle Black tier predators had been able to get to the membrane, but none of them could cross it, they all died before they could do it.
At Sebastian's current level, getting anywhere near the membrane would directly evaporate his body like he was going towards the sun.
The energy at the membrane is humongous and is primordial origin magic.
Though predators could not get close, Oceania's beast scientists were able to devise ways to harness the powerful energy stored in the membrane.
By building powerful and ingenious technological devices that take power directly from the membrane, things like ocean satellites were finally built and this heralded a new technological era in Oceania.
Throughout the journey of locating the Space Beast, Sebastian admired the works of technology while listening to Eliana's stories.
The strike force spent 20 solid hours before they finally located the target.
The strike force detected the mighty Space Beast from afar as all 5 warships immediately stopped, shutting down their engines, including the shuttle.
The Space Beast was asleep.
Once Sebastian accessed the zoomed image of the sleeping beast, he immediately identified its species.
This Space Beast was of the same species as the one he encountered in the ocean volcano region; they were called Leviathons.
After knowing that this world was a breeding ground of the Myth Realm for the Sages to cultivate the ultimate challenger, Sebastian's horizons became more open and he was more receptive to sudden radical knowledge.
According to Eliana, her discoveries pointed that 90% of the original creatures that lived in Oceania before the arrival of the variant humans were artificially modified versions of creatures found in the Myth Realm.
Mammoth Crocodiles were modified from a mixture of the Mammoths of the Myth Realm and other native beasts, while Draconic Lizards, Death Dragons, and a lot of others were modified from the powerful Dragons of the Myth Realm.
As for the Leviathons, though Eliana had no evidence about this unlike her previous theories, she guessed that they were modified from Leviathans.
Their name also speculated this.
This beast was one of the most dangerous species in Oceania. They had the most tyrannical bloodline, and with the most eccentric magic domain, they were nightmares to face for any predator.
Unlike the young purple-tier Space Beast that Sebastian encountered some time ago, this fellow was not only bigger but was also more developed.
At its current level, the Leviathon had 3 heads, a long, huge, and heavy serpentine body almost twice as long as Sebastian from head to tail and a mighty jaw with rows of teeth that seemed like swords that came straight out of a cultivation novel.
This mighty predator radiated an aura of indomitability!
Just looking at it, any predator would feel dread and become extremely intimidated, but Sebastian did not feel all that.
As he looked at this monster that radiated power on every side that seemed able to thrash him with just one swat of its powerful limb, instead of feeling intimidated, Sebastian felt emboldened as his blood started burning hot.
He could feel his competitive spirit rising already, his brain felt hot.
"This is my prey! No one can take it away from me!"
Whoosh!
Sebastian finally launched out of the warship alone, towards the Leviathon.
Almost immediately after Sebastian moved, the sleeping Leviathan's ears twitched as its blood-red eyes snapped open the next moment.
Before it could turn its head in the direction that it already felt the enemy coming from, its senses felt something green shooting directly towards him at the speed of a shooting star that he could not resist.
The shot of the Codex Suppression could not be dodged after it narrowed down on its target, it must hit after it locked on to the target.
Bam!
The green shooting star hit the mighty beast and disappeared inside its body.
The Leviathon didn't feel anything for a few seconds after the shooting star disappeared into its body, it was confused at first but the next moment, it turned and glared in Sebastian's direction as it roared angrily.
ROAR!
"The beast is pissed!"
"Deploy the space stabilizers!" Eliana ordered from her warship calmly.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
In just a few seconds, dozens of space stabilizers were shot into the water across a region of a few kilometers.
The Space Domain Leviathon could not escape again even if it wanted. Its space teleportation skill was now suppressed, the only chances open to it was to either fight or die.
The already angry Leviathon narrowed its eyes.
Blood-red eyes and pitch-black eyes clashed!
