The world war continued raging all across Oceania.

Every day, more and more beasts and variant humans died as more damage was dealt to the primordial origin essence. As more races were defeated into extinction, the more Oceania lost its liveliness.

Compared to the other Great Seas, the Green Mist Sea had it a lot easier but even this Great Sea already suffered a lot from the ongoing world war.

Compared to the fascinating world full of life and adventures that Sebastian transmigrated into, the Green Mist Sea was now a shadow of its former self.

Now, this Great Sea was filled with death and gloom.

For 3 days, Sebastian patiently traveled with the group of Megalodons and Great White Sharks that he met as they continued their journey to the Hot Realm where the Great White Empire was located.

Yes, the Great White Empire was located in the Hot Realm.

When Sebastian first heard this from Magaton, he was surprised. This was literally the first time since he transmigrated into this world that he heard of stuff related to this iconic Great Sea where one of the more stubborn Sea Kings ruled.

Of course, being a human who lived in an advanced world on earth where memes reigned supreme, Sebastian almost laughed his ass out when he heard that one of the 7 regions of Oceania was called the Hot Realm.

With his shallow mind and understanding then, his impression of the Hot Realm was a realm where a lot of sexy hot mermaids lived.

With time though, this view of his changed as he became exposed to more of Oceania. The Hot Realm was no meme Great Sea, this was a real Great Sea that was dominated and ruled by the powerful and stubborn Pugilist King.

And of course, this was not Sebastian’s first-time hearing of the Pugilist King. Just like the Ocean King is the pride of the Leviathon race, so also is the Pugilist King the pride of the Pugilist Beast race. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Known for his hot temper, this powerful Sea King ruled the Hot Realm with an iron hand over the years which built a lot of resentment in the other Empires.

Now that the world war erupted, the Hot Realm became one of the most chaotic battlefields as the Beast and variant human Empires sought to overthrow the rule of the Pugilist King but this beast was a Sea King for a reason.

The Pugilist King was not like the Necromancy King who could stay so patient despite all the taunting from his enemies, he exploded in anger once they dared to challenge his authority as he aimed to wipe them all out of the face of his realm.

One by one, he picked them as his astonishing physical strength enabled him to brute force his way through every obstacle like they were not there.

The Pugilist King had another nickname, the Planet Shatterer and he lived up to this name as he bulldozed through every obstacle till he was ambushed.

More than 6 Empires in the Hot Realm allied to oppose this dangerous predator. He was outnumbered countless times over, his death seemed to be certain but as the greatest Pugilist King alive, he enjoyed some special bonuses.

The Pugilist King’s health points, endurance, and recovery speed were completely horrifying as he outlasted all his opponents to the very end.

He came out of that ambush terribly injured, but he dealt more than enough damage to his enemies that they would remember all their lives. They would forever remember not to challenge the prestige of a Pugilist Sea King.

After that battle, things slowed down a bit as the Pugilist King retreated to properly recover but till today, the war between them never stopped.

It was like they would not stop until one of them was annihilated.

The Great White Empire was among the many Empires that banded together to go against the Pugilist King. After they failed to kill him, the strength gap became evident and now they had to watch their backs just like the others.

If one day, the Pugilist King recovers enough and his hot temper kicked in, he could randomly decide to go on a rampage and if the Great White Empire was the first target, there was a high chance that the Empire would see its end.

This was why the Empire sought numerous ways to develop its warriors. In this war, they were already disadvantaged so they had to do everything that they could to get advantages from anywhere possible.

It was on the 3rd day of their journey that Sebastian and his companions got to the Hot Realm. Sebastian became exposed to this new Great Sea for the first time and all that he could say about it was that it looked magnificent.

Despite the massive wars that were already fought here, the Hot Realm was nothing like the Dungeon of Souls whose origin glow already had faults.

The Hot Realm was still intact as the bright orange glow of the primordial origin magic here illuminated the world, spreading the light of magic.

By far, the Hot Realm was the most beautiful Great Sea that Sebastian had visited yet despite the ongoing world war which went far to say a lot.

Once they arrived at their home Great Sea, Toman officially took his role as leader of the group again as he led them with strict rules this time.

The reason for his sudden strictness became clear after they encountered a battalion of Pugilist Kings that were swimming across on a war patrol.

Sebastian was flabbergasted, this was the first time that he was seeing so many mana-less and extremely muscular beasts who were all like Strong moving together in such large numbers. The sight was intimidating.

"Kill them, kill the Great White filth!"

The Pugilist Kings went after them but Toman already led them as they quickly took the lead which eventually led to them disappearing.

They spent 5 hours evading different battles like this before they finally arrived at the massive territory that belonged to the Great White Empire.

The massive Empire was erected in a city that spanned dozens of kilometers, Sebastian felt like he was back in medieval ancient Rome Empire but one that was amplified and strengthened countless times over.

Once the sharks were discovered, the shark guards of the Empire lowered their defenses as they received them with the grandest welcome.

News that Toman, Magaton, and the others who went to the Dungeon of Souls to enter the Temple of Enlightenment quickly got to the army higher-ups.

They were all invited by their leader who welcomed them grandly. "Toman, Magaton, Bagron..., welcome back to the army".

"Thank you, Commander Quorion".

"And who is this newcomer?"

"Commander, this is Sebastian, a Megalodon that we met in the Temple of Enlightenment. He is extremely talented as he alongside 2 others were the only ones to have increased their origin law comprehension to the Grandmaster level".

"Hmm". On hearing that, Commander Quorion’s eyebrows raised but before he could speak, he focused on the air like something just appeared before him.

A virtual projection that was only visible to him appeared before him as he received orders directly from the most important Megalodon in the whole Empire.

Commander Quorion bowed at the virtual projection before turning to look at Sebastian with a different look now on his face. "The Emperor asked for you".
