Ocean Master - Chapter 393

Sebastian’s living doppelganger left the secret base with his assistant.

After months of staying together, Doctor Josephine was already akin to an inseparable sidekick to Sebastian. Spending months with an iconic existence like Sebastian was something that most variant humans never experienced in lifetimes.

When she was first kidnapped by Sebastian, she obliged his demands only to safeguard her life. She planned to make the Megalodon lower his vigilance towards her, then she would strike when the iron was hot.

Her strike plan was of course contacting her Empire, and making another Division Fleet descend on the Megalodon, annihilating it for good.

But with time, her plans changed.

Sebastian’s living body was not just an extremely handsome variant human, his knowledge about anatomy was outstanding even for her standards, and he had a peculiar personality that appealed to her.

To others, Sebastian’s emotion-driven personality would seem repulsive, but she loved it, she loved Sebastian’s craze for anatomy.

Also, after spending months together, Sebastian was already letting up, revealing information about his previous world that was not supposed to be in Oceania, Doctor Josephine was always caught up whenever he started.

With everything that she saw and heard from him, she was already guessing that perhaps Sebastian was more than he seemed.

One day, she made an outrageous guess that Sebastian was not from this world. The only problem was that she had no evidence to verify this, so she could only put up with sticking with him to learn more about him.

This was also the reason why she was following him for the hunt.

Against a Red tier Space Beast, she was useless but as Sebastian’s sidekick and anatomy assistant, she could learn a lot of things from watching a Space Beast in battle and watching how it was killed.

This was the reason why Sebastian did not object to her following him.

Apart from spending money on increasing the anatomy prowess of the 1st Den of Anatomy, Sebastian also spent money on its defense.

He already recruited a few mutated beasts as subordinates, not only that, but he now purchased more military-grade shuttles to protect the secret base.

At this moment, he was riding on one of the faster shuttles with Josephine.

“How far out is your body?” Doctor Josephine asked as she manually controlled the movement direction of the military-grade shuttle.

Sebastian was lazing around, sitting on a floating chair while playing a card beast game that was invented by a Black tier turtle.

He turned to answer his assistant. “I dunno, probably 30 minutes or an hour”.

After answering, he went back to his game as Josephine could only sigh. A few minutes later, she got bored and set the shuttle A. I on autopilot before going to join her boss to play a multiplayer version of the game.

While they played, she asked. “So, you said you are just like a side body, or should I say, living doppelganger?”

“Yes”.

“How does it feel getting to meet the main body again?”

“I don’t know, it feels kinda weird of course, but I’m cool. Our relationship is weird so I don’t know how to explain it, we’re actually one and the same person, it’s only different bodies of mine meeting”.

“…Ok, if you say so”. Doctor Josephine ruffled her hair in the water, making it float tantalizingly behind her. “What is his personality?”

This time, Sebastian dropped all his cards and turned to face her, exasperated. “We are the same person!”

“Oh, I get it”.

The game of cards continued in silence from there for approximately 45 minutes before the shuttle finally rang an alert.

Before Josephine could go check on what it was, Sebastian already knew. “We are here”.

With a command from Sebastian, the metallic walls of the military-grade shuttle turned transparent as the unprepared Josephine gasped at the sight.

Outside the shuttle hovered the mighty Megalodon.

Seeing the mighty shark that was countless times her size, with the mighty jaws and the rows of teeth that seemed capable of detaching her head with one snap, she gulped, suddenly unsure of how to react.

In the end, she followed her instincts and finally reacted.

“Welcome, boss!”

“Thanks, Josephine”. The Megalodon and the Atlantian answered at the same time, spooking her even more.

Megalodon Sebastian laughed before finally turning around and leading the way. He was too big to fit inside the military-grade shuttle, so he had no choice but to swim and lead the way.

Sebastian felt kind of weird. Having created his 1st living doppelganger months ago, separating with it meant that they had to experience different things, now getting back together reinforced the notion that they were one.

They didn’t feel estranged, Sebastian felt the connection even more at such a close range like he was one consciousness controlling 2 bodies.

He likened it to him being a VR game player, and he had 2 game avatars.

The journey to meet the strike force that was dispatched by the Clown Empire was a long one. Sebastian spent 5 hours on the road before he finally met them, Eliana’s virtual projection directly invaded his shuttle’s privacy.

“You’re finally here? You took your time”.

“I started coming as soon as you contacted me”.

“It doesn’t matter, come on board”. Eliana’s voice was boss-like, making Sebastian imagine how she was like at this moment.

Before going inside the main warship though, Sebastian took his time to admire the 5 warships that were dispatched by the Clown Empire.

The warships were of roughly the same size as those used by the Turtle Confraternity and Toad Alliance, the main themes that separated them from others were their clownfish shape and their iconic emblem.

The iconic emblem of the Clown Empire was a pure white background with a single massive clownfish being depicted in the middle. This clownfish was smoking a pipe and was puffing out green smoke.

This clownfish, was the late Clown King.

Just seeing the clownfish told Sebastian a lot about its personality. This predator was such a carefree pinnacle bastard predator that he would be happy to prank every single beast in all of Oceania.

His death was sad and catastrophic to the Clown Empire, but in Sebastian’s view, maybe it was a good thing as it rid Oceania of a pestering nuisance.

The other 4 warships opened up the formation to allow Sebastian’s shuttle to access the main warship. He entered inside with his assistant.

Once he was led to the main chambers of the warship, he finally saw Eliana seated on her throne but this one was made in a more militaristic form.

Below her throne was a row of custom-made chairs numbering 20. Sebastian easily recognized that 17 of the clownfish seated in these chairs were purple tier predators, while the remaining 3 were Red tier predators.

He gulped. “What an extravagant display!”

As he looked at Eliana at this moment, he finally understood the reason for the subtle change in her tone, Eliana looked like a mafia clownfish at this moment.

He swam directly towards her. “So, is the target’s location confirmed”.

“Yes”. Eliana turned to face him. “I appealed with my elders, and I was able to get a better offer for you”.

“I brought along with me a valuable magic gadget that can suppress the power of any Red tier predator back to the purple tier for 1 day”.

“I figured that it would be useful for your cause”.

On hearing that, Sebastian was surprised before he grinned. “Thanks”.

“Anything for a homie”.
