Apexion then raised his open paw that was coated in the aura of true meaning, and he then patted the ground in front of him.
Shhhhhnnk!
A huge circular cut, with a circumference of eighteen meters, appeared on the ground in front of him. Apexion's starry eyes flickered as the soil within the circular cut lit up in black flames and evaporated a few seconds later.
A huge pit one hundred meters deep appeared. Apexion then hopped inside. He landed on a hard blue material. He then stood on his hind legs, raised his paws, his claws extended to the length of three feet, they then blazed with black flames and true meaning, after which they vanished, leaving behind afterimages.
Ding! Slash! Ding! Slash! Ding! Slash! Ding! Slash!
The sound of something hard being sliced echoed from the pit…
"Enter."
minutes later, Apexion's voice echoed out, alerting the dazed rabbits.
One by one, they entered the pit, with Thallo and Iron Tooth at the lead.
After they descended the pit, they found themselves in a massive chamber, five hundred meters in length and width. The walls were slightly shimmering with a blue hue. There was a pathway in the middle of the chamber that led up to a huge blue glowing throne at the very end of the chamber.
Apexion sat majestically on the throne, his starry eyes shone brightly, as he waited for the rabbits….
There was a reason why Apexion chose this spot, and that was because of the blue glowing material, which was, in fact, a rock called cerulean rock. This one was a giant that was the length of a kilometer. It's composed of a material that was excellent at withstanding ground pressure, had superior structural stability, and was hard to the point that creatures below the supreme rank couldn't leave a dent. He had noticed it earlier when passed and thought it would be excellent to create his base in.
The rabbits assembled before Apexion. He gazed at them and spoke calmly, "Do not resist. I'm going to teach you an ascension particle absorption technique, tailored to our body. Memorize these movements well… I won't teach you a second time." Before they could respond, Apexion used his will to control their bodies.
He made them stand on their hind legs, their heads slanted downwards, and their hands spread out. He further controlled them to breathe in through their noses and breathe out from their mouths at a specific rhythm, after which he controlled their tails to wave side to side, matching their breathing pattern. Seconds passed, and the ascension particles in the surroundings pulled towards them like a black hole, entering their bodies through their nostrils and palms.
Experiencing this, the rabbits were extremely shocked and happy, even though they had their own ascension particle absorption technique, but it was far, far worse than this one.
Apexion controlled their bodies for half a minute and then ordered them to do it on their own. Most of the rabbits couldn't repeat the process 100%.
Rabbits like Thallo and the old veteran Iron Tooth were able to successfully redo the technique.
A few minutes later, a cracking sound echoed from Iron Tooth, after which his body started to transform, expand, strengthen. The other rabbits stared at him with envy and happiness. They wished they were the one who became a supreme, but they were also happy because it was a member of their species, and they would most definitely benefit.
A few minutes later, iron tooth stood 14 ft long and 11 ft tall. He had ascended to the supreme rank. Iron Tooth gazed at his body with shock and excitement. He thought he would die at veteran rank. Never in his wildest dreams did he think he would one day become a supreme warrior. Tears started to flow from his eyes.
He looked up at Apexion, his eyes filled with reverence and worship. He had fully accepted Apexion as his king. Before, he accepted Apexion because of his strength, but now it was something more.
"Come," Apexion ordered Iron Tooth to move next to his throne.
"Yes, my king," said Iron Tooth, after which he walked to the side of the throne with his head lowered.
Apexion gazed at him and then calmly spoke, "Tell me, how is the beast clan structured?"
Iron Tooth paused for a few seconds, then replied, "My king, the beast clan are mainly divided into two categories, the fit species and the unfit species… The fit species are mostly those species that are carnivores/predators, and the unfit species are those that are herbivores/prey, but there are ways that an unfit species can get rid of the title of unfit. One of the most common ways is to produce a supreme rank creature. For example, with the current me, no. with you here, our species would no longer be classified as an unfit species, but fit. We now have the right to speak at the alliance, and we don't have to obey the fit races."
Apexion's starry eyes flashed, then he spoke, "Tell me about this so-called beast alliance."
"The beast alliance is a
coalition formed by the four Supreme kings of the beast race in hopes of resisting/overthrowing the enlightened ones," replied Iron Tooth.
"Tell me about the four kings," spoke Apexion, in an intrigued tone.
"My king, the four kings are Perseus the venomous destroyer of the toxic spider species, Hon the fearless of the wild badger species, Ratta the scavenger of the six-legged rodent species, and War Ape the maniac of the battle ape species….With Perseus being the leader amongst them," replied Iron Tooth in a calm tone. To be honest, he was a little puzzled why Apexion didn't already know this information, but he didn't dare to question him, nor think too much about it; after all, it really wasn't important.
Hearing Iron Tooth's reply, the information about the species of the four kings flashed through his mind,and he felt that it made sense for these species to produce king-rank creatures. The only thing that he was confused about was the fact that Perseus the toxic spider would be the leader amongst them because, out of all these species, the toxic spider is listed to be the weakest, and this world was a strength-based world. You can only be the ruler if you are stronger, so there must be something special about this Perseus.
"Tell me everything you know about this Perseus"
