Ocean Master

On seeing the writings that appeared before them inside the hall, the Atlantian soldiers including their leader, Lieutenant Colonel Arachnid went silent as they rapidly tried to deduce the nature of this last test.

"Doppelganger test".

The fact that the Sea King even went as far as extracting from his title to name this last test showed how much it meant to the deadly predator.

Its importance in this struggle for the ultimate inheritance could not be undermined either, the writings of the Sea King\'s will were clear, there was only one winner for this last test and the winner would become the inheritor.

This was a situation of the winner gets all, and the loser gains nothing.

Instantly, the Atlantians were faced with a huge dilemma. Should they follow the Sea King will\'s intentions and go through the portal or should they not?

Lieutenant Colonel Arachnid\'s face was grim as he was faced with the most difficult point of decision-making in this important mission that he was assigned.

Since he entered the inheritance ground with the whole Atlantian force, this Lieutenant Colonel had not for one second found the leisure to laze around as the implications of this mission were too big for him to screw it up.

The weight of this mission was so heavy that it was already crushing him. In the whole inheritance ground, he felt the most pressure.

Unless in the inheritance ground of certain Black tier monsters with abilities that could counter the skillset of Deep Delvers, there was hardly any inheritance ground that had succeeded in restricting the Atlantian Deep Delver special unit.

Though when he was given the mission, Lieutenant Colonel Arachnid already expected to meet a lot of suppression and problems, he still didn\'t expect them to escalate so much and so fast.

He had to improvise his plans every second since the changes were so fast that keeping up with them was too stressful, he was almost going crazy.

Of course, he could delegate a lot of authority to his second in commands and other powerful subordinates to decrease the stress but for such an important mission, this Atlantian Lieutenant Colonel felt too uncomfortable with it.

What if these subordinates that he called powerful suddenly slipped? Just thinking of the consequences gave him a heart attack.

From the onset when the special unit of Deep Delvers entered the inheritance ground, they suffered a suppression that restricted almost all their most powerful cheat abilities, leaving only the basic ones.

Though the Atlantian soldiers were not attacked by the Sea King\'s will like the wills of other monster inheritances, the almost absolute suppression by the will was their most frightening encounter.

For an Atlantian army that was already used to the Deep Delvers performing miracles in inheritance grounds to grant them absolute control, suddenly having to regress to the opposite end was hard to cope with.

This was why Lieutenant Colonel Arachnid was in a huge dilemma.

The Sea King\'s will has not proactively attacked them so far, but who knew if this was a ploy by the will to annihilate them all at once after they gullibly entered the teleportation portal.

Despite all the means that they employed with their advanced technological devices, they could not pinpoint the end location of the teleportation portal.

This uncertainty felt like torture to them.

Amid his torment, this was when Lieutenant Colonel Arachnid came up with a plan that he was extremely reluctant to execute. Once he thought of it, his more powerful subordinates also thought of it.

"I will do it!" Captain Omega suddenly declared.

After going round like a headless chicken while hunting fruitlessly for the Megalodon, this Atlantian Captain finally regrouped with the 1st strike force.

Though Captain Omega wasn\'t a big fan of brain-related matters, perhaps it was due to his frustration but he got the gist this time.

The plan that the Lieutenant Colonel arrived at was to send a suicide vanguard through the portal to determine what was at its other end.

The most suitable vanguard soldier for this mission was not the regulars, a powerful veteran was needed so that even if there was enormous danger at the other end, he/she could at least send a warning message across.

Lieutenant Colonel thought and thought, and in the end, decided that he was the best candidate to become the suicide vanguard.

Before he could speak though, Captain Omega beat him to it. This Captain didn\'t just beat him to it, he surprisingly provided a plausible explanation for why he was the best candidate to be this suicide vanguard.

Captain Omega was ready to restore his dignity by all means!

According to him, Lieutenant Colonel Arachnid was the backbone of this army of division fleets and the army could not afford to lose him.

As for him, his justification was that not only was he powerful which no one could disclaim, he was also a war veteran and was confident of surviving long enough to send a message if things on the other side were nasty.

Also, he was unlike the Lieutenant Colonel. 

If his Black Mamba Division Fleet was still the leading force, he would be in the same situation as the Lieutenant Colonel, but now that a superior soldier was here, he was expendable.

Captain Omega willingly offered his life for this endeavor.

Of course, nobody stopped him, Lieutenant Colonel simply gave the Captain some advice, promised him that his name would be remembered in the war hero\'s temple, before solemnly handing his armor over to the Captain.

Lieutenant Colonel did this to increase the captain\'s success chances.

Captain Omega took the armor reverently without saying thank you, all his focus was on the mission. "I promise not to disappoint!"

With that, Captain Omega of the Black Mamba Division Fleet jumped into the swirling teleportation portal.

Warp!

As an Atlantian soldier who survived the perils, grinding his way to the exalted rank of a Division Fleet Captain, Captain Omega was not new to teleportation portals, even those made by predators.

He smoothly rode the space storm till he arrived at the other end.

When this Captain opened his eyes, he was no longer in the dark and gloomy catacomb, he was now inside a vastly different world.

This Captain\'s eyes widened to the limit.

Though he knew that this was probably another virtual-reality domain, Captain Omega could not help but feel that he was in a realistic world that he was familiar with, a world that he only saw in historical picture frames of his race.

If his memory did not fail him…, this is Earth!

Captain Omega could no longer maintain the extremely serious and battle-ready stance that he came it, he succumbed to his astonishment and shock as he could not help his eyes wandering around in curiosity.

"So…, this is earth?!"

The lush trees with fresh leaves that danced to the rhythm of the wind, the sound of the chipping birds, the strange long hollow trees with thin leaves, and the even more impactful solid ground that he stood on.

Captain Omega could not help it, he was swept away by fascination and admiration, what a beautiful world! 

He was inside a beautiful forest in a world of land and fresh air.

"Fresh air?!" Captain Omega was alarmed!

As a non-royalty Atlantian soldier, how was he able to breathe dry air? The thought of this alone made goosebumps appear all over his body.

This was when the spooked Captain looked down at his body.

He almost fainted.

"I am a dog?!"
