Soon, we reached the bottom of the seabed of the aquatic trial zone that was at a depth of 4800 meters from the water's surface.
The location they brought me was filled with coral reefs. Others might not find anything odd about this, but with my
Once we neared a gap in the coral reef bed, there were two other Atlans guarding the entrance to their hideout. Once they confirmed that it was their fellow Atlans who returned after capturing me, they gave way to us.
After entering the hidden hollow space, there was a cluster of conical caves spread around. Right then, as if the other Atlans detected our presence, one by one, they exited their respective coral abodes.
Out of them, one of the Atlans stood out the most with a golden crown and robe. Upon noticing him, the other Atlans bowed in respect.
Their gesture was enough to tell that the one with the crown was the 'Sea Lord,' the strongest one among them.
After that, the other Atlans eyed me curiously, as it was their first time seeing a human. Meanwhile, the Sea Lord tried to look at my
Although his Uncommon grade
But at this stage of the Trial Program, it was a pipe dream for anyone to obtain a Legend Grade skill, at least without accomplishing a Universe Level achievement.
If I didn't allow it, no one could even see my name or level, and all that would be visible were question marks.
Generally, when using
Because of that, just like how the female Atlan reacted when she used
However, he didn't show it outwards and just mentally prepared himself to act if I made any sudden moves. In the next few seconds of silence, he contemplated on my name and level, before widening his eyes in surprise as he realised something.
Soon, the Sea Lord regained his composure and took the initiative to speak, "Excuse me for the unnecessary extravagance. I asked my subordinates to invite the guest from the other trial zone, but they treated you as an invader, sorry for their poor hospitality."
The Sea Lord then turned towards the female Atlan and ordered, "Ah'na, release the Aqua Prison right away."
The female Atlan, Ah'na, was conflicted and wanted to say that I might be dangerous, but under the stern gaze of the Sea Lord, she didn't utter anything and undid the oval Aqua Prison that was restraining me.
Without moving from the position where I was, I continued to look at the Sea Lord with interest in his intuition and foresight for making a smart choice. If he had tried to treat me as some captive and forcibly tried to find how the system barrier broke, it would have been the last day for them.
Unlike the other Atlans, the Sea Lord was sharp enough to connect my identity to the once top Alpha Ranker. He wasn't sure of it because there are chances that multiple Alpha Chosen have the same name 'Jay'.
Moreover, according to him, there was also a possibility that I might have had some kind of Spirit Item that could hide my
"Where are my manners, let me introduce myself. I go by the name 'Aton'. I was given the title 'Sea lord' that represents the ruler of the entire Atlan race of the planet 'Atlanis'. May I know your good name and which planet you hail from?"
Before I could respond, the male Atlan that I first met raised his voice directing at me after noticing my casual standing posture that lacked any hint of respect, "Hey, you! Our Majesty, Sea Lord is one of the strongest Alpha Chosen in this Trial World, ranking in the top 1000 among the millions of Alpha Chosen. You better be respectful when you are talking to the Sea Lord, or…..Hmph! I wouldn't mind teaching you some manners."
The Sea Lord was taken aback after hearing the male Atlan acting all superior without taking a hint of the situation. It's not just him, but most of the Atlans believed that it was their Sea Lord's benevolence to treat a random stranger with such hospitality.
When the Sea Lord was about to reprimand the male Atlan, I laughed out loud bringing everyone's attention to me and said to the male Atlan, "What a coincidence, I too am on the
The first one to exclaim was the female Atlan, Ah'na, "No way! Don't tell me you are from planet Earth!!! It is the only planet that has 8 of its Alpha Chosen in the Alpha Rankings."
Hearing her, Aton turned silent whereas the other Atlans quickly opened the
Since Kensei and Henry reached Tier-3 on the rest day after Day-6, they were in the Alpha Rankings as well, bringing the number of Earth's Alpha Chosen in the
Except for Dante, Kasim and Gabriel, who didn't reach Tier-3, all of us Earth's Alpha Chosen were in the Top 1000 Alpha Rankings. At the moment, I was in the 981st position and would soon be pushed down in the rankings once more Alpha Chosen reached Tier-3.
That aspect didn't bother me, because, with the power I possessed, my ranking wasn't relevant anymore.
Among the Atlans, the one that reacted the most was the Atlan, who warned a few seconds back.
He had his finger pointing at me while stuttering with his mouth open, "This….this….how could he be from that powerful trial zone, he must be bluffing to intimidate us and escape from here."
A few of the Atlans seemed to agree with him, as they found it hard to believe that I was from Earth. Unlike them, the Sea Lord, Aton didn't show any signs of disbelief nor did he question me and instead believed my words, but there was still a hint of doubt in the back of his mind, regarding whether or not I was who I claimed to be.
I sighed after reading everyone's thoughts around me. It seemed that simple words were not enough, so I went back to my crude way of showing domination and activated Tier-Suppression, targeting them all.
Since I recovered from the weakened state, my overall stats were at 840, making my Tier suppression equal to a peak Tier-3 monster.
Except for Aton, who had reached Tier-3, only experienced discomfort and minor hindrance, but all the remaining Atlans who were in Tier-2, froze in their positions due to the immense pressure they were experiencing from me.
By the time a few seconds passed, fear was written all over their faces and that turned into terror when I took out
Especially the male Atlan who acted all high and mighty in front of me was now shaking involuntarily. Thinking back on his previous actions, he wanted to apologise, but under the Tier-Suppression, he could only stay frozen without having the chance to move his mouth and talk.
Even the most composed one of them, Aton, was alerted by my sudden action and wanted to protect his fellow Atlan. However, before he could move, I was already beside the male Atlan with the tip of the sword just an inch away from his throat.
"Now, tell me, do you think I need to bluff?"
The male Atlan gulped in fear and strangely, he began to sweat even underwater.
