[Congratulations! You have created a Living Doppelganger!] 

Sebastian felt drenched in sweat, his 15-meter huge body felt heavier than normal and his brain felt sluggish. These were all aftereffects of him draining his huge amount of mana points to zero.

Sebastian's mana limit increased just a few minutes ago, now he had to sap it dry for the first time. As expected, it was not a good feeling.

Despite all these shortcomings of making use of his 2nd unique skill, Sebastian did not regret it because he knew that this was all worth it.

This was when he started thinking of the bigger picture. 

Since his evolution started, he didn't have the luxury to think of other matters since the pending problem of evolving successfully to safeguard his life and grow in strength was the priority.

Now, Sebastian could finally think about other things, and the next priority in his scale of preference was escaping from this ocean volcano alive.

He already got his ultimate goal, now was the time to escape. Staying behind in this region was suicide. No matter how powerful he felt currently, Sebastian did not develop the illusion that he was stronger than Atlantis.

This was why his next priority shifted to escaping. And once his priority shifted to this, he remembered his companions who also followed him into this Sea King inheritance ground.

Sebastian was not too sure about the details, but he knew that after Carcarot Gorgoneon's soul finally died, a lot of the mechanisms in the inheritance ground lost their main control power and went out of control.

While a lot of things went out of control, a lot of priority mechanisms also took place. Priority mechanisms like the evacuation of every competing candidate in the inheritance ground, and safeguarding those who were evolving.

Due to his evolution opportunity, he was safeguarded but Sebastian had no idea if other predators like him were also kept safe.

Putting this aside, his main concern was actually about the situation of the current outside world and his chances of wriggling his way through. 

What were the other competitor's reactions to losing the opportunity of getting the ultimate inheritance? Was the lucky inheritor being relentlessly searched for? Was he in danger?

These were a minority of the numerous questions that currently plagued Sebastian. The only problem that irritated him to no end was that he knew none of the answers to these nagging questions.

The uncertainty tugged at his nerves; he didn't even know if the whole Atlantian army was mobilized just to stop him from escaping.

The numerous possibilities of the current state outside the inheritance ground were so much that Sebastian soon gave up. He could think till eternity, but without any concrete proof, it would all result in nothing.

This was why Sebastian easily decided to go with the flow. He decided to break the deadlock or silence, whichever was deemed fit for the occasion.

The mana core that was currently pulsing like a heart and was providing his body with mana was not the only crystallization that he got from his breakthrough, he also crystallized his battle style.

Offense is the greatest defense; this was Sebastian's battle style!

And at this moment, Sebastian decided to remain true to his battle style. To know his current situation, he needed to act, he needed to move and see for himself so that he could react accordingly.

Idleness never yielded any results; it was working that yielded results.

[Passive Skill has been triggered: Instinctive Swimming!]

This time, Sebastian didn't have to activate it, he just had to think of it and his body moved in such a natural instinctive manner that it felt like magic.

After months of staying as a Megalodon, Sebastian already got used to it after swimming extensively with his swimming active skill, but for the first time, he felt that he was not putting in effort to swim.

At this moment, swimming felt effortless to him. Compared to when he just transmigrated into this world when he thrashed like a clueless SpongeBob, he was now a pro, he was now a natural at the job.

[You have activated skill: Mega Electroreceptors!]

With this skill active, Sebastian went on the move.

He finished his breakthrough locked inside one of the numerous halls that were built inside this massive underground catacomb research base.

Due to his relative experience of having seen the entrance of the inheritance ground twice, and perhaps also because of his beast intuition, Sebastian was not led astray as he instinctively knew the direction to take to the entrance.

Sebastian only needed an intensive use of it once to know the new depths of his upgraded electroreceptor skill.

The mega electroreceptors compared to his previous advanced version of the electroreceptors didn't just have a wider range, they answered completely to Sebastian's will as he could actively manipulate it in different ways to achieve better results.

For example, at this moment after using the normal wide-area sweep, he manipulated the electromagnetic signals to form narrow search pathways.

By making the search range extremely narrow, the range of his electroreceptors extended so much that from his position, Sebastian was able to detect all the way to the entrance of the inheritance ground.

He only needed a few seconds to confirm that others were like him and were with him in this inheritance ground. They were all already gathered at the entrance.

"8 mutated beasts and 1 Atlantian soldier".

Unlike before, even at such an extremely long-range, Sebastian was able to easily identify the varying magnetic signals of his targets to distinguish that 8 were mutated beasts and that 1 was an Atlantian soldier.

Also, he was able to detect that 2 of these beasts were friendlies.

[You have activated skill: Mega Dash!]

Whoosh!

Sebastian wasted no more time, he accelerated away like the wind. 

His current mega dash was far more impressive than his previous advanced dash and combined with his new speed base stats, Sebastian was more than a mile faster than before.

If he was a Toyota Camry before, now he was a Bhugatti Veyron!

The entrance inside the inheritance ground which was also now the exit back into the outside entrance consisted of a glowing teleportation portal.

At this moment, 9 different figures hovered before this teleportation portal from different angles and distances.

Though there was only a single Atlantian soldier amid a group of deadly predators at the moment, none of the predators attacked the soldier because they were also on guard against each other, and the might of this Atlantian survivor was not a matter to be trifled with.

Sergeant Lopez was a female soldier of the Black Mamba Division fleet. As one of the champions of the division fleet under the direct leadership of Captain Omega, she also had a straightforward personality like the Captain.

She was originally focused on the task that was given to them by Lieutenant Colonel Arachnid who was now the leading superior of their mission, but on encountering a special inheritance, how priority order was overridden.

Though they were tasked to follow their mission and strive to accomplish it with undivided attention, they were also allowed to progress.

This was why this devout female soldier accepted the inheritance with no qualms. Now, she survived and came out stronger but she could not establish a connection with her fellow Atlantians yet.

She was surrounded by a group of bloodthirsty beasts, she didn't even know the current situation of the Atlantian army, her situation was not looking good.

Of the 8 predators that hovered on different sides around her, 2 were the most eye-catching because, unlike the others, they hovered close to each other.

Tungsten and Verni were surprised when they saw each other. But this surprise did not last, they knew their current situation and priority, without hesitation they banded together to figure a way out of their current predicament.

They wanted to regroup with their other family members, they wanted to meet their master and proudly announce their achievements but they could not because, for some reason, the portal simply refused to let them through.

They already tried every means available to them to pass through it but they all proved futile. In the end, they could only wait, thinking and hoping that a certain special requirement was to be met before they were let through.

Their wait took a lot of time but it was worth it.

After over 30 minutes of waiting, a newcomer emerged from the depths of the catacomb. Time seemed to freeze as every beast and the female Atlantian soldier were all attracted to this newcomer.

A huge but compact body that seemed capable of smashing every barrier apart, terrifying rows of teeth that seemed capable of crushing the world to pieces, this newcomer looked powerful no matter what facet it was looked at from.

Tungsten and Verni were shocked before turning ecstatic the next moment.

"SEBASTIAN!"
