[Warning! You have lost a Doppelganger!]

Amid the silence that suddenly descended on the originally chaotic battlefield, Sebastian winced on receiving this notification.

Though he already expected this when he made his decision, seeing the result of his hard work evaporate before his eyes left him in pain.

Sebastian improvised on his plan immediately after seeing the large army of mutated beasts, Atlantian soldiers, and their warships that were about to confront him. He was deterred more by the presence of one particular warship.

As a human who was always fascinated by the massive weapons of war that were used in his previous world, he easily recognized that this massive warship was modeled after a modern Destroyer warship but a more sophisticated version.

As soon as he was battered by the pressure exuded by such a large versatile army of death, Sebastian did not dare fall into a daze least he died.

Instantly after the enemies appeared, he activated his new unique skill. He first created a normal doppelganger while turning his body invisible, this enabled him to effectively swap his main body's position without ringing alarm bells.

This way, a doppelganger was what attracted the ire of his enemies.

While the enemies tried to kill his doppelganger with all their might, the invisible Sebastian tried to escape in the fastest and stealthiest way possible.

In the end, his doppelganger was not durable enough to withstand such a powerful stacked blow but it succeeded in doing its job. It enabled the main body to distance itself from the center of the fire.

Now, this was the impossible fact!

How on earth could a few months old Megalodon inherit a legendary unique skill and master all the basics on how to use it in just a few hours?

This was a controversial question that neither the most scholarly of Atlantians nor the most Mystery prying of predators could fantom. This was more like a bunch of crap extracted out of a fiction book.

As soon as the Atlantians knew that the Megalodon got the unique skill, they were surprised and no longer dared to underestimate the cunning beast, but despite this, they refused to overestimate it either.

Sebastian mastering the basics of the Doppelganger and Invisibility unique skill in just a few hours was such a strange notion that it sounded ridiculous.

Now, they discovered that perhaps, they were the ones who were being ridiculous. Sebastian was a freak of nature; it became continually evident that common sense should not be used to judge this Megalodon.

This was why Commander T.Y resolved to take the most extreme of measures. "Bombard the whole area!"

"Make sure that nowhere is left untouched, we must find his real body!"

The Atlantian army reacted immediately after the order was given. 

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Weapons of war raked through the water at a rapid speed as kinetic beams, laser beams, and positron beams dealt devastating damage to the surroundings.

Roar!!!

The effects of such a wide area of bombardment became evident. All the mutated beasts suffered it as they all came under the fire of the Atlantians, but they could do nothing since they were part of the minor forces.

In this situation, only the remaining 2 of the 3 Hegemonic forces could effect a change but they were content with the current path of the Atlantians.

They resonated with this method, bombarding everywhere was the easiest and most efficient way to find their target so long as he was still in this vicinity.

This was why instead of helping the other suffering beasts, the 2 remaining Hegemonic powers took to arms and joined the mindless slaughter of beasts.

The Rogue Snake Overlord had no reservations as he attacked maniacally. As for the turtle cultist, Ancestor Horamon had more than enough reasons to attack since this was the main mission that brought him in the first place.

Boom!

Once any of these 2 deadly Red tier predators attacked, every beast had to dance to their tune which immediately became evident as thousands of mutated beasts started dying every single second on this battlefield.

This presented the perfect scenario for Old Mak to escape with his Great White Sharks. The logic seemed conflicting, but it was true.

Once Sebastian revealed his ability to already make use of the Doppelganger and Invisibility Sea King, his threat level rose to the maximum to the Atlantians.

After so many years, the Atlantians already developed a lot of methods to counter the invisibility ability of Carcarot Gorgoneon, but as this beast evolved more, he found more ways to evade their methods.

This was why Commander T.Y did not bank on these methods. As soon as Sebastian showed his competence, this Commander's evaluation of the Megalodon rose all the way to the previous competency level shown by Carcarot.

Also, this smart Commander already deduced a terrible conspiracy theory.

Commander T.Y was not a fool; the coincidences were proving too much to be believable. It was too much of a stretch for just one predator to have so much luck, which was why he theorized this conspiracy in the first place.

After thinking long and hard, Commander T.Y concluded that this was no longer the Megalodon that he's heard of, but this was Carcarot Gorgoneon.

The logic that this old monster has been plotting this takeover for decades if not centuries sounded more sound to his logic-oriented mind.

Perhaps, Carcarot was the one who even let the combined army hunt him down. Perhaps, all this was to further his ambitions to get a 2nd unique skill.

If this was right, it could explain how this Megalodon suddenly got such terrifying mastery over this unique skill after just one day.

As for why the same Megalodon was still able to proficiently use the Water Transmutation unique skill, the title of an old monster just needed to be added to the equation to balance it up.

This was why Commander T.Y directed as little attention to the escaping Great White Sharks as possible. Clearly, this was a plan of the Sea King to distract them and divide their attention, he would not fall for it.

If this was really Carcarot Gorgoneon, then the Megalodon no longer had any relation to these Great White Sharks and didn't give a damn if all of them were annihilated, so why should Commander T.Y give a damn about them.

Of course, out of prudence, this Commander still delegated some forces to attack the Great White Sharks but his main attention was on finding the elusive Sea King even as he already sent the war status to his higher-ups.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The firepower bombardment continued; more mutated beasts died without a reasonable meaning as the terrible massacre of beasts continued.

During this time, 3 other Doppelgangers were already destroyed but not even a speck of dust from the Sea King's main body was seen.

This made it seem like the Sea King already escaped, but Commander T.Y believed otherwise which made him stick to his bombardment decision.

Not only did the war here rage, the war at the border finally expanded. On seeing the situation inside the ocean volcano, the other variant human races stirred, the catch was still up for grabs!

This was the reason why the war at the border suddenly grew with 3 times more intensity. Inside the seamount, the world seemed to be coming to an end.

Crack!

Cracks spread through the circular cliff walls due to the stress as the walls finally caved in, causing a large part of it to fall apart.

Once the structural foundation of just one part of the cliff fell apart, the others were quickly on a path of doom towards the same direction. Like an overstressed tool, the cliff came falling apart as it induced a terrifying avalanche.

BOOM!
