Ocean Master - Chapter 361

While the disaster of the Orca uprising took 3 Great Seas by storm, there were parts of these Great Seas that were not affected, at least not as much as other regions and of these areas was Sebastian’s current location.

Of the 3 Great Seas that were attacked, the Dungeon of Souls was the main battlefield, the Green Mist Sea was a dispensable battlefield, while the war in the Hot Realm was just a show of force and bravado.

The region where the Anemone Domain and the Snake Kingdom reigned as the 2 overlords were only marginally affected by the ongoing uprising.

No Orca army suddenly descended on either of these high-grade rural settlements, these were some of the most developed and strongest settlements in any ecosystem and the Orcas were unwilling to find trouble with them.

Though an army of Orca didn’t attack them directly, the 2 high-grade rural settlements still felt the effects of the ongoing uprising.

With a lot of low-grade and middle-grade rural settlements becoming victims to the powerful tearing jaws of the Killer Whales, a lot of predators became homeless as they all scurried everywhere for safety and survival.

Most parts of the Green Mist Sea were experiencing the most chaotic period of their lives. Vagabond predators, feeling lost and broken could only forfeit intelligence and resort to their baser instincts to survive.

Faced against overwhelming power, what intelligence could do was now marginal and only tangible power could save these predators’ lives.

Vagabond predators that encountered each other saw themselves as no more than food to the other having starved for days while also being injured, so they attacked immediately.

Sharks killed young sharks, young Devouring Octopus swallowed their injured parents to survive, this part of the Green Mist Sea entered the most chaotic and cannibalistic period since antiquity.

Young and naïve mutated beasts matured overnight after one encounter with the cruel reality that was war, personalities became warped.

Every hour, every day, new beast clans fell to the tyrannical might of the Killer Whales. In the face of absolute might, beast clans of this level were no more than cannon fodder to the might of the army of a Beast Empire.

Though only a small number of Orcas were dispatched to the Green Mist Sea relative to the overall Orca army, this force already was enough to overrun a lot of regions with impunity.

In earth terms, the current situation was like if a single military division of the United States army was dispatched to go wreak havoc in a 3rd world country.

Despite their small number compared to the overall army that a 3rd world country had in its control; the military division would still be able to deal astronomical damage.

The current situation was like this, just a little bit more exaggerated.

The Orca army that was dispatched by the Killer Whale Empire was completely indomitable in all the regions that they selected to attack.

While all the chaos happened in the wide, the few safer and more developed middle-grade rural settlements, including the 2 high-grade rural settlements became safe havens that the surviving predators all scurried to.

Traffic in the Anemone Domain saw a new peak as predators of different species all came with the hopes of getting inside to secure their lives.

The clownfish army became strained more than ever before as they were all burdened with the sudden increase in security needs that needed to be attended to with such a massive spike in traffic.

Tension rose high in this originally harmonious city. No beast knew what would happen the next day, they lived their daily lives dreading the worst-case scenario since it could destroy their peaceful lives for good.

The clownfish military clamped down on civilian beast life, establishing a form of martial law where the movement of beasts in the city was monitored.

For the first time since the creation of the music district, music stopped playing as every beast was done in by their fear.

Due to the current state of their world, no one could ascertain who was an enemy and who was an ally, so the clownfish army had to be alert at all times, anticipating danger from anywhere and everywhere.

In this upbeat and tense atmosphere, Sebastian continued living his life in this clown city in the Aurora Hospital.

To Sebastian, this sudden Orca uprising was completely out of the blue. While he was preparing for another threat entirely, this one came suddenly, shocking him and once again revealing to him that nothing was in his control.

He was not at that point where he could control everything yet, he was still at that stage where he moved and danced to the tone of the changes around him.

At this moment again, Sebastian had no choice but to also dance to the tone.

Instead of lamenting though, he instead decided to take advantage of the situation. He rapidly improvised his plans, accelerating them to the maximum that he could tolerate and still maintaining some accuracy.

The martial law in the Anemone Domain affected all beasts since they were restricted from moving from one place to the other, but this didn’t affect Sebastian because all his plans were focused on the Aurora Hospital for the moment.

Once he improvised his plan, his daily schedule became visiting the advanced library, reading and getting as much information as he wanted, researching on his mana core experiment, researching on Space Beasts for his 2nd doppelganger operation, and also secretly inquiring more about the zone of glory.

In this tense atmosphere, while a lot of the anatomists were too petrified by fear to work, Sebastian increased his work efficiency to a record-breaking high.

Surprisingly, pushed by the pressure of the current situation, Sebastian’s work became a lot more productive as he achieved a lot of his goals simultaneously while he kept a constant lookout for any changes in the city.

As the days passed and more refugees rushed to the city for refuge, even starting battles when they were not allowed entry, the tension kept on increasing and Sebastian’s intuition started telling him that the time was getting ripe.

Though he gave one-sided focus on achieving his goals, Sebastian never forgot about the outcome of his first and only field anatomy mission since his next plan from here heavily depended on it.

4 days after the Orca uprising started, the Anemone Domain’s tolerance was stretched tight as the frustrated clownfish army started killing any predator that rebelled or even contemplated starting a riot.

The killing increased the tension all the more, making this period the most chaotic since the creation of this massive clown city.

When will the uprising end? This was every beast’s question, but unfortunately, no one knew the answer to this question. They were not even sure if this uprising would end in the first place.

On the 5th day, it finally happened.

When the Anemone Domain thought that they already had more than enough in their hands, things escalated when the Snake Kingdom finally launched its first full-scale offensive on their archenemies.

This action escalated the tension and conflict to the next level.

With the Snake Kingdom mobilizing in full force, a local war between 2 leading high-grade rural settlements abruptly started amid the already chaotic situation from the Orca uprising.

Every predator despaired once they got the news, only Sebastian took it calmly like he was already waiting too long for it to come.

“Finally!”
