SWNOVELXO Chapter 434: Celestial-Stage Monster: Cetus
[Dead Sea.]
"Aaron, why are we here? You know how dangerous the Dead Sea is, especially when it's dark." Emily said, looking at the eerie sea, which was so quiet that it sent shivers down her spine.
Aaron held her hand, and flashed her a smile:
"I don't know you're scared."
"Scared? I'm not scared, it's just... Today feels so foreboding." Emily said, her gaze still on the sea... The moonlight was the only thing illuminating their view.
"Come on now, We need to assist Michael, this is the last Sea, let's just hope this will be suitable to hatch that egg." Aaron said.
Emily was still staring at the eerily calm sea, there wasn't even a single fluctuation... The sea was calm, the darkness was so foreboding that even Protean standing behind them felt something wasn't right.
"I think there's something wrong with the sea."
Aaron turned around to Protean, a frown on his face... Not knowing why they're feeling something wrong, he turned his gaze to the sea... His eyes glowed for some seconds, and widened afterward.
"This?"
He turned his head to Michael, Who was walking towards the sea, 50 meters from them, who were standing on the shore.
"Should we stop him?" He asked, and shook his head; "Nay, he can handle it." Aaron added.
The two looked at one another, and nodded, not saying anything.
Michael walked towards the sea, and stopped on track.
{Celestial Stage Monster discovered in the sea.}
Michael raised an eyebrow, upon hearing the system.
'What is a Celestial Monster doing here? Well, I don't have any, it'll make sense to have one as a walker.'
He thought and stomped his foot on the ground, sending a powerful sonic wave towards the sea, causing huge waves... Which could surely woke anything inside.
GRRRRAAAAAAAAA!!!!
A loud terrifying roar tore through the sky, reaching more than a hundred miles away.
Michael and the three behind watched as a huge monster shot out from the sea, it was a mixture of a snake and a shark, it was more than 70 meters long, and 30 meters wide, on its back were scales, and shark fins could be seen on its body... It has the head, and body of a red python.
This abomination fixed its gaze on the tiny human standing on the shore, and hissed out.
***Who dares disturb my slumber?!!!***
It roared.
"I don't know there was such a monster here." Aaron said in mild surprised.
"Same." The two nodded.

Michael stared at the monster and smirked:

"You must be Cetus, right?"
***You know me, Human?!!***
"**Human!!**"
BOOM!!
A dense amount of divinity burst out from Michael, the golden sword tattoo on his cheek glowed.
The Giant Snake-Fish monster instantly shut up seeing the sword on Michael's cheek, and feeling his dense amount of Abyssal Divinity.
***I apologize to the Abyssal Ruler for my rude behavior; But this is my territory.*** It said in a humble tone.
Emily: "....."
Aaron: "Is it me, or am I hearing things?"
Protean: "I thought I was the one hearing things. That Monster just became docile, wasn't it yelling some seconds ago?"
"**Oh? I know it's your territory, but You'll be useful to me... Very useful.**"
***Useful?*** Cetus was puzzled.
"Yeah, When You're dead."
Cetus's gaze turned cold. Seeing the smirk on Michael's face, it got even more enraged, and shot down towards him.
"Get me its head." Michael commanded.
Whoosh!!!
Reaper appeared behind him, and shot towards the charging Snake.
***I'll Kill you!!!***
"With the 50% Boost from the system, and Reaper's personal strength, a Celestial Monster won't pose a threat." Michael said.
Reaper moved, his claws elongated into swords, with a Sonic boom, it increased his speed.
SWOOSH!!!!
"...."
Aaron and his group froze, only Aaron saw how Reaper moved, and that made him even more shocked.
BAM!!
Reaper landed on the ground, and the huge head fell behind him... The rest of Cetus's body fell into the sea, turning it bloodred.
Michael raised his hand into the sky, and snapped his fingers, a circular object flew out from the sea and landed on his palm.
"Core from a Celestial Monster, what a good hunt." He smirked.
Draaaa.
Hearing the sound of something being dragged on the soil, he turned to Reaper seeing him dragging the head towards him.
"*My Lord, the head you requested.*" Michael stared at the head and nodded with a smile.
"Have this." He threw the core to Reaper. "That will help you enter the True God Realm."
Reaper took the core in mild surprised, he bowed at Michael, and observed it.
BOOM!!
"This guy is a monster--No! He's the Monster Emperor, who's busy creating more monsters... I just wonder what this "Destroyers" will look like." Aaron said, staring at Reaper who was now a True God.
{Congratulations, Reaper have entered the True God Realm, Host gained 10,000,000 points from the kill, and reward.}
{Congratulations, Reaper gained a title, known as Abyssal Calamity.}
Michael slowly nodded at Reaper, and turned to the Head. "Rise!"
BOOM!!
The whole sea trembled, the wind picked up, and the sea started boiling.
"What's he doing now?" Emily asked.
"It can't be, he's rising the monster, turning it into his walker?!" Protean was stunned.
BOOM!!
Cetus shot out from the sea, but this time, a black armor could be seen on its body, concealing all its skin, leaving its face expose.
Seeing Michael, the 100 meters long Snake -Shark monster bowed its head.
"*Greetings to the Ruler.*"
Michael nodded at it. "Rise."
He said, and walked towards the sea.
_
Michael crouched down, brought out the egg from the system storage, and slowly placed it in the water.
'Please let this be the one.' He thought.
{DING!}
{Approved.}
He sighed in relief seeing the green words on the system, and asked:
'Now what?'
{Host will have to merge the egg with Destroyers' soul.}
He nodded, and with a flick of his wrist, Destroyers' soul essence appeared in his hand... Michael took a deep breath and exhaled.
"Here goes nothing."
