Chapter 1343 Strange Assault
Author's Note: Unedited Chapter
----------------------
"Are you saying these creatures are more powerful than I am?" Grand Commander Shion asked.
"Way more powerful Grand Commander... if they had come here without limitations, it will take one thousand people on your power level to contend with a single one of them and even at that, a win isn't guaranteed," Dr Markle shook his head.
Grand Commander Shion instantly bore a troubled look on his face, 'On the earth, there are less than three hundred persons on my level of strength and higher... with the alliance it is much possible to gather that number and more but... needing a thousand just to contend with a single one of them? Not to mention that we are unaware of their hierarchy so this being may not even be the most powerful there...'
While Grand Commander Shion was in his thoughts an unexpected phenomenon suddenly occurred...
Thrrriioouuuhhhh~
A figure's arm suddenly materialised before them.
"What the...?" Dr Markle exclaimed as he drew back.
Grand Commander Shion instantly became alarmed and dragged Dr Markle by the collar before jumping backwards.
Thrrriioouuuhhhh~
It looked like the figure was cutting through the air as the rest of its body appeared the moment it drove forward.
Dddhiiiinnnnnnnnnn~
A palpable and incredible overpowering energy suddenly permeated the entire vicinity.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
Alarms began blaring continously upon the appearance of this figure as the laboratory swiftly went into lockdown mode.
"Who the hell are you?!" Grand Commander Shion yelled as he subconsciously shrunk back.
The figure had a half white, half black feminine structure with a horn on the whitish part of her head which curved downwards. A completely whitish eye in the dark side of her face and a completely black eye in the right.
The choking energy in the air was so overpowering that it pushed even him backwards. Dr Markle had fallen to his knees and was currently gasping for breath.
Krrryychhhhh~
Cracks began to appear all across the walls and armored see through glass.
'I can't let this person cause any damage here and risk freeing the creature...' Grand Commander Shion maintained his calm composure while channeling his bloodline.
The shard in forehead instantly lit up as he fired an intense destructive beam forward.
Thrriihhh~
At the same moment, a massive blade appeared in her right arm which she proceeded to swing diagonally.
Swwwhiiiihhhhh~
It was like the entire world got cleaved in two as a seering silver line, slashed through the destructive beam easily.
Grand Commander Shion eyes widened as he grabbed Dr Markle in the last moment before the entire structure got divided into two seperate halves from the attack.
Grrrruuuuhhhhhhlllll~
Sea waves instantly flowed into the vicinity as cries and yells got drowned out by its intensity. The feminine white and black figure, remained in place, unfazed by the intense wave that had just washed everyone away.
She turned to stare at the mettalic prison where the dark creature was imprisoned and reappeared within. The seawater hadn't managed to flow into this place so it wasn't drowned out.
Just as she reached out to touch one of the shackles, her figure vanished.
Fiinghh~
Within the overwhelming sea waves, hundreds of researchers and scientists were getting swept away.
Grand Commander Shion was currently holding onto Dr Markle with his left arm while his entire shoulder from his right, down to his rib cage area was missing.
This part of the sea had turned from blue to red due to how Grand Commander Shion was bleeding profusely. Fortunately, Dr Markle was uninjured.
Grand Commander Shion had a dark look as he noticed the ruckus and unstoppable destruction around with the others getting swept away uncontrollably.
His forehead gleamed brightly and a surge of energy burst forth from his figure.
Dhhhrrriiihhhhhhh~
The waves around him were instantly pushed sideways, creating a massive hole that extended across a radius of more than twenty thousand feet in this part of the sea.
"Ahhhh!"
Plop! Plop! Plop! Plop! Plop!
Hundreds of people in labcoats fell from the air and landed on the rough sea bed with expressions of bewilderment plastered across their faces.
A few of them had bruises but overall there weren't any casualties. They couldn't believe their eyes as they stared at debris from the massive underwater laboratory scattered across the place.
Sea waves had turn to walls around them as they stood over over thirty thousand feet below the surface of the sea. It was truly a spectacular sight.
"Grand Commander! Are you okay?!" Some of them yelled with expressions of concern as they rushed towards the elderly looking man who had nearly half of his entire body gone.
"I'll be fine," Grand Commander Shion said while they helped him up.
"Korrrhh! Korrrhhh! Koorrhh!" Dr Markle coughed out water by the side as took a kneeling position.
"The waves will be kept away for the next twenty minutes so let's get you all out of here," Grand Commander Shion said while signaling at the other MBO officers in the vicinity.
The MBO officers who were guards of this facility, moved swifly towards the emergency sea rides and submarines which had been covered up by debris from the destruction of the underwater lab.
Meanwhile, Grand Commander Shion grabbed a grade one medical pill from his spatial storage and consumed it.
His body slowly began to heal up as he stepped forward to look around.
"No doubt about it, that person vanished just like I sensed..." He muttered with a look of both caution and confusion.
He paused after arriving before a massive mettalic construct which was the size of a building. The front of this construct had a see through glass with cracks all over it and within the construct was a dark creature in captivity.
"They didn't come to free it? Then what was the point of the attack?" Grand Commander Shion had an even greater expression of bafflement as he stood before the mettalic prison.

"We're almost there," Gustav announced while staring at the holographic projection of coordinates displayed.
"You gotta go back in," Gustav said while turning around to stare at the system.
"What?" The system voiced with a tone of defiance.
"You can't transform. You'll ruin the mission before it begins. Go back in," Gustav said to her with a strong tone.
"What about her? She can't transform either," The system said while pointing at the blue haired girl strapped to the seat beside her.
"Come on you're not this stupid. You know I can change her physical features to suit that of an Abruikis native but I can't do that for you dumbass. You know it won't work," Gustav scolded.
"Tch, then how did Matilda get in then? And what if this one betrays you? We've only known her for three days," The system yelled.
"Matilda has her ways. Stop acting like a damn three year old and get back in here," Gustav yelled back.
The girl by the side just watched with an expression of helplessly. Her azure eyes blinked curiously as she opened her mouth but no words came out.
She had an extremely cute and clueless face, making her looking completely harmless. However, this was the same girl who used to be Falkorn's right hand. On Planet Vesper she was a force to reckon.
No one was aware of her enchanting facial features because she always wore a mask. Some.had even assumed she was male or a demon due to her capabilities but Gustav had destroyed her with just a single attack.
She was the only one he spared out of every single Falkorn underling for two reasons.
One, Falkorn had her stripped of her will. She became his underling due to her lack of freedom which made Gustav pity her. During their journey through space for the last eight days, Gustav healed and helped her regain her will.
As for the second reason...
"Don't be silly, you know I need her. You cannot play that role so shut up and get back in," Gustav stated once more.
"Hmph!" The system pouted before folding her arms in defeat.
She walked forward and gave Gustav a dirty stare before vanishing.
"So childish..." Gustav scoffed before shaking his head.
He walked towards Sersi and squatted before her.
"Do you recall the plan?" He inquired.
She nodded cutely, "I have to help my lord ac..."
"Don't call me your lord. You're free from the mental Manipulation now. Call me Gustav or better still, Father, due to the identity we will be adopting," Gustav cautioned.
"Hnm Hnm..." She nodded twice.
"Gustav is Father... Father is Gustav..." She chanted with a light tone.
"No that is not... *sigh* never mind... just make sure you don't call me Gustav when we get down there," Gustav cautioned with a serious look.
"Hnm hnm... Gustav is only Gustav here... Gustav is father down there..." She nodded once more.
"Exactly..." Gustav voiced with an expression of relief.
"Now for a quick recap, watch this and remember you are to act like she does," Gustav said while tapping a couple of buttons on the left side of the wall.
