Chapter 599: Grand Finale; The Battle Against The Ancient Cthulu! [2]

BOOM!

Once Oceania and the Ancient Cthulu collided, a massive battle started.

This was not just a battle between Sebastian and the Ancient Cthulu, this was a battle between the Ancient Cthulu and the whole universe, this was a battle between a whole planet and the Ancient Cthulu.

This was a battle that involved the remaining of the 13 Sages of the Myth Realm, this was a battle that would determine the fate of the universe.

This was a battle that could potentially bring the Ancient Cthulu to justice for the crimes that he already committed against the universe or was a battle that would mark the end of the world.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Once the battle started, it became extremely fast-paced as explosive sounds of collision between the Ancient Cthulu and Oceania kept on reverberating.

Throughout their 8 months traveling through space, having simulated situations like this numerous times, the billions of predators in Oceania responded to the call of the Ocean Master as they fought on his behalf.

At this moment, all of Oceania fought like a unified body.

Those that loaded the weapons did so as a unit, those that pulled the trigger did so as a unit, and those that commanded the battle like Commander Omega and the Great Traveler also did so in tandem with the Ocean Master.

Sebastian only delegated one of his living doppelgangers to stay at the brain of Oceania to provide the mana that would power all its activities.

As for his other bodies, he placed them at strategic locations of this cosmic grade weapon as they exercised Sebastian’s accumulation for the years that he spent plying his trade and developing his abilities as a pinnacle predator.

Telekinesis skills, bloodline skills, magic skills, Sebastian did not skimp on any one of them as he gave his all in this battle against the Ancient Cthulu.

Oceania was not the only one involved in this battle. On the Ancient Cthulu’s side, there were dozens of cosmic grade warriors who joined the war.

While on Sebastian’s side, the 13 Sages of the Myth Realm gave their unrestricted support to him in this battle that would decide their fate.

Despite all the factors that Sebastian had on his side in this battle, the mighty Ancient Cthulu still had the upper hand like in all his other battles.

The mass of feelers that filled the Ancient Cthulu’s head attacked like the weapons of mass destruction that they were.

Every swing of these massive feelers seemed to have the power to destroy the world. Oceania survived each swing only due to the Ultimate Defense skill that made it impervious to any degree of damage.

Even as the massive feelers attacked, the Ancient Cthulu also attacked with his limbs that were armed to the teeth with his humongous claws.

Each swing of his claws felt like he was cleaving the world apart.

This was a battle of the very highest level, this was a battle of pinnacle cosmic grade powers, this was a battle of the highest level of evolution.

For 40 minutes straight, the battle continued as more and more damage was dealt to the Myth Realm. More cracks filled the sky due to the powerful shockwaves of the battle; the other battlefield was already relegated to the background.

Despite these 40 minutes of impenetrable defense that was granted by his cosmic grade weapon where he got to attack the Ancient Cthulu as much as he could, Sebastian did not see any meaningful progress.

For the first time in this battle, he panicked, was the Ancient Cthulu undefeatable? Was he a natural existence of the universe that could not be killed?

The more Sebastian thought about it, the more he panicked. He already tried his best, he already made full use of his great intellectual prowess but it all came to nothing as the Ancient Cthulu seemed to have no weaknesses.

Did the Ancient Cthulu as rumored already exceed the cosmic grade realm? In Sebastian’s moment of dilemma was when Eliana finally spoke up.

"Sebastian, let us force him to leave the planet’s atmosphere!"

Sebastian did not understand why Eliana gave this suggestion, but at this moment of great vulnerability, he was open to any suggestions.

The key to leading the Ancient Cthulu outside the planet’s atmosphere was very simple. Sebastian simply rode Oceania outside the planet’s atmosphere and like expected, the Ancient Cthulu followed as he was eager to kill him.

In space, the battle range opened up more than ever before.

Here, more spaces opened up to attack the Ancient Cthulu but this was not the greatest benefit of Eliana’s suggestion. The greatest benefits were the support that came from unexpected locations to fight the Ancient Cthulu.

Among the planetary dimensions that the Ancient Cthulu already conquered, there were some powerhouses of the cosmic grade realm who escaped.

Now, all these powerhouses came in this moment of need as they all combined their powers in a bid to finally bring an end to the Ancient Cthulu’s life.

Despite all their methods, the Ancient Cthulu lived.

Once an hour passed, Sebastian and his subordinates finally felt the wrath of this ancient horror as the Ancient Cthulu battered Oceania.

The defense of the planet could not withstand the might of this ancient predator. The Ancient Cthulu was unstoppable! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Every second, thousands of lives were lost to the Ancient Cthulu as this battle whose shockwaves already spread towards millions of kilometers through space increased a notch higher.

3 hours later, Oceania was already battered beyond recognition, another Sage of the Myth Realm already died and Sebastian was out of options.

"Will the world come to an end on my watch?"

This was the question that lingered on Sebastian’s head as the Ancient Cthulu continued wreaking havoc without him being able to effectively retaliate.

Millions of lives were already lost in this quest.

It was in this moment of desperation that Sebastian arrived at a realization. To win this battle, a miracle needed to happen.

Once the term miracle appeared in Sebastian’s head, he threw all caution to the wind and for the first time emerged out of his cosmic-grade weapon.

"Today, let us dine in hell!"

Sebastian’s main Megalodon body and all 50 of his living doppelgangers rapidly accelerated towards the Ancient Cthulu. When they got close enough, both sides engulfed each other as a great melee battle began.

As expected, the Ancient Cthulu easily had the upper hand but Sebastian did not give up since his intention was not to best his opponent this time.

Sebastian already observed enough to determine that the Ancient Cthulu was different from others. This time, he did not fight him to overpower him, he fought him at such close range to try to know the secret behind his strength.

For 10 minutes, Sebastian was beaten, losing 13 of his living doppelgangers in the process but in the end, he finally got what he was looking for.

"Power!"

"The Universal Power Law..., that is the secret!"

Sebastian was ecstatic despite the pain and suffering that he needed to pass through to discover this truth.

The Universal laws were normally based on various elements ranging from elemental universal laws, gravity laws, space laws, time laws, and a lot of other laws. But unknown to many, there was one last unknown law, the Power Law.

Due to some reason, the Ancient Cthulu discovered this universal law and mastered it. It was the reason for his astonishing power despite being a cosmic grade realm powerhouse like the others.

Once Sebastian discovered this secret, he worked towards it.

He held tight to this universal law as he tried to comprehend it. While Sebastian strived for his new goal, the Ancient Cthulu kept on battering him.

By the time that his 47th living doppelganger died, it became clear that Sebastian would probably die before he ever accomplished his goal.

It was in this moment of desperation that Eliana discovered her true role in this all. Her system was called the Ultimate Support System.

For a long time, Eliana had wondered the reason for this most especially when she didn’t play a huge role in Sebastian becoming the Ocean Master.

The fact that she became Sebastian’s girlfriend exposed some truths to her. She never believed in coincidences, she believed that every occurrence in life was tied to fate and this was what showed her direction in this moment of dire need.

For the first time, Eliana finally discovered her true role. She instinctively made her move to help her patron, Sebastian the Ocean Master.

(You have activated skill: The Power of Love!)

Once the rainbow-colored light that came out of Eliana touched Sebastian’s main body, Sebastian’s eyes rolled back as he felt a great rush of knowledge about a hidden universal law entering his head.

A few seconds later, his system lit up a new notification.

[Congratulations! You have mastered the Universal Power Law!]

Once Sebastian received this notification, he felt boundless power coursing through his veins all of a sudden as he felt like all the power in the universe was before him and he had the ability to wield it all.

This power seemed to come a little bit too late though as the Ancient Cthulu destroyed Sebastian’s last living doppelganger before engulfing him completely.

Inside the belly of the Ancient Cthulu, a bright white color flashed then the Ancient Cthulu disappeared from reality as a battle of darkness and light began.

The battle for the fate of the universe transcended the material realm.
