Ocean Master

The Green Mist Sea!

The Green Mist Sea's territory was characterized by the iconic green glow that the primordial origin magic always cast on the territory.

Like the other 6 great seas, the Green Mist Sea's territory was unimaginably large, almost the size of earth itself. In this vast expanse of water was where powerful monster races and variant human races erected their Empires.

The Green Mist Sea was divided and characterized by the territories of the various Empires that were in it. The Empires were the peak powers, any other thing below them were called rural settlements.

The strongest Empire that ruled over the Green Mist Sea was the Clown Empire. This was the Empire that was personally created by the Clown King.

After the meteoric rise of Atlantis, the arrogant Sea Kings who originally loved acting and moving alone except a few special cases finally recognized the strength in numbers that were derived from founding an Empire.

The tragic death of the Ocean King revealed the numerous shortcomings of deciding to stay solo. At this current day, every one of the Sea Kings had an Empire of their own and they occupied the best territory of their respective great seas.

The Clown Empire occupied the very center of the Green Mist Sea, where magical and mineral resources were the most abundant.

With this, they held a firm grip over the overall trend of the Green Mist Sea.

Due to this advantage, despite the death of the original Clown King, the Clown Empire never fell, it only regressed a bit. Despite their regression, they were still the strongest Empire of the Green Mist Sea.

And according to unconfirmed rumors, the Clown King's unique ability already found the perfect heir who was now slowly training his powers under the tight protection of the Clown Empire.

This and a lot of other reasons ensured the Empire's firm grasp over their mother great Sea. The Green Mist Sea was always characterized by the Clown.

The 7 Great Seas had boundaries that separated them from each other.

Each of the 7 Seas had iconic colors that were shone on them by the primordial origin magic in the said sea. These colors were not random, they were a manifestation of the specific origin laws of the said great Sea.

This was why it was hard for Mystery Pryer predators to live a life where they had to move from one Great Sea to the other.

The task of getting to comprehend the specific laws of another great Sea before recovering to their full strength there was too daunting and unreasonable. Due to this, Mystery Pryer predators mostly stuck to their mother great Sea.

The boundaries that separated the 7 Great Seas were mostly referred to as borders. These borders had magic empowered space walls that separated the great seas from each other.

The space walls ensured that not just any predator could travel between 2 great seas. Only space domain magicians could easily travel between Great Seas, for other predators, they needed to exert a disproportionate amount of effort before they could crack the forces holding the space walls.

This presented a scenario where the 7 Great Seas were cut off from each other. Different cultures existed in the 7 Seas, different species of predators could exist there, the natural environment was also vastly different.

This was why the 7 Seas were associated with each of the 7 Sea Kings. Due to the difficulty of crossing over, invasion between seas was reduced to the barest minimum and Sea Kings hardly intervened in the matters of another sea.

At least, this remained relevant until the rise of Atlantis. The rise of this empire disrupted more than just the power structure of Oceania.

At a certain corner of the Green Mist Sea stood a beast Empire. Inside this green-glow-filled body of water, at the seabed, surrounded by seamounts that towered into the skies was the Rabbit Empire.

Like most established empires of the Green Mist Sea, the effective control territory of this empire spanned dozens of kilometers across the sea.

Unlike the ocean volcano region where a great battle just ended and whose seamounts were mostly disordered and undeveloped, all the seamounts that made up this Empire were highly developed.

Since most of the adult rabbits here were mutated rabbits, which meant that they no longer suffered the constraints of size, this Empire could afford to bring their development to the extreme.

Each of the seamounts represented cities, and on these cities, ten of thousands of rabbit houses were built to accommodate the rabbits of the empire.

The layout and organized planning of the cities showed that these rabbits were not brutes, they knew what they were doing.

These rabbit cities had most if not everything that a typical city needed. From magic hospitals to army barracks, to entertainment grounds, to trade centers, to martial schools, to even foreign delegation grounds.

As an empire, it meant that a Black tier predator was protecting it. This alone meant that only a fool would attack this empire in its home ground.

The confident rabbits had foreign delegation grounds in their cities where predators of different species could come in to engage in trade with them, and they had foreign ambassadors who took care of these delegation grounds.

Not just other predators, the rabbits were confident in their ability to maintain order that they even had foreign delegation grounds for variant humans.

Oceania was indeed a cannibalistic world, but when the real pinnacle players were involved, even the most violent of predators could be suppressed and order could be forcibly maintained.

The headquarters of the Rabbit Empire where the throne of the Rabbit Monarch was erected was Gongman city, the city of magic Rabbits!

At this moment, as activities went on in the empire, a space rift was torn open directly above the headquarter city as the enormous Rabbit Monarch stepped through the next moment and arrived back home.

None of the rabbits showed any fear. Though they detected the space rift, they didn't panic since it was extremely unlikely for an enemy, even if it was a black tier predator to so arrogantly attack their headquarters.

They may not look like it, but at their home ground, even without their monarch, the Rabbit Empire could unleash really heavy punches at arrogant enemies who deemed it right to provoke them.

Since Gongman city was blocked off from the other cities by a huge interference barrier, the rabbits in the other cities did not see him when their monarch returned after the brief interlude in his schedule.

The Rabbit Monarch dragged his giant injured body straight to his palace after he arrived back at his city without drawing too much attention.

When he entered his throne and sat down, a group of huge and powerful mutated rabbits was already seated below him.

"Welcome back, lord father!"

One of the bigger rabbits greeted respectfully as the others quickly followed and greeted, the Rabbit Monarch nodded nonchalantly.

After this greeting, the rabbit who started the greeting made a gesture as a huge predatory ant quickly scurried inside the throne room. The huge ant bowed reverently before scurrying closer to the Monarch's side.

With a gentle sound like that of water flowing down a pool, white light erupted from the huge ant's antennas as magic power flowed into the Monarch's body gently.

The Rabbit Monarch moaned in pleasure as the healing magic power flowed into his body, cleaning impurities and healing his injuries rapidly.

While this happened, he finally turned to face his chief advisor. The enormous rabbit took the hint as he immediately floated up.

"Lord Father, Atlantis already made their response, a Black bounty has been issued on the head of the aspiring Ocean Master".

Humph!

The Rabbit Monarch snorted. 

"Lord father, what is your plan? What are our orders?"

"Wait and see, that is my order".

"My intervention minutes ago was already bending the unwritten rules, I will render no more help to him. The Atlantians may continue to be blind, but it does not mean that I will pamper the aspiring Ocean Master".

"Only the bravest, strongest, and luckiest can be the Ocean Master".

"Enemies in the form of variant humans like Atlantians, and the form of predators like Carcarot Gorgoneon will keep going after him, but these are all part of the challenges to realizing the ambition that he carries".

"The Ocean Master needs to be forged through blood and fire".

"My intervention this time already gave him the best opportunity to bloom. I will watch him for this period, if he cannot bloom and gain prominence, then he is not worthy of the title Ocean Master". 

"I hope you do not disappoint me…, Sebastian".
