Blue Star.
Two hundred kilometers east of Tianyuan Base, the sky trembled incessantly. Invisible forces rippled outward, distorting the air into visible waves.
The sky in this region had become eerily abnormal.
With each fluctuation, the heavens seemed to split open, revealing black fissures—only to seal shut again in the blink of an eye.
This strange phenomenon hung above a vast, endless ocean.
At this moment…
A massive steel warship floated upon the sea.
On its deck stood numerous humans. The auras faintly emanating from them were anything but ordinary. All of them stared upward, watching the abnormal changes in the sky.
Every single one of them was a Beast Tamer.
Due to a prophecy from the Divination Tree, they had rushed here at full speed from various bases.
The ranks of Beast Tamers were divided into:
Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Master, Legendary, Guardian Deity.
And here—
The weakest among them were all Master-level Beast Tamers.
Tianyuan Base lay deep within human territory.
For a Catastrophe-level spatial rift to appear in the heart of human lands—
It was nothing short of a disaster.
A direct threat to humanity's survival.
"The spatial rift hasn't fully formed yet. We must suppress it before it stabilizes!"
A middle-aged man in white spoke. His silver hair fluttered slightly as he stared at the rippling sky.
Everyone subtly centered around him.
Ling Kong.
That was his name.
He was also known as—
The Sky Emperor.
A Guardian Deity-level Beast Tamer.
He possessed a rare space-type talent: Spatial Amplification.
Guardian Deity-level Beast Tamers were pillars of humanity.
They protected nations, stabilized the world, and stood against ferocious beasts.
The very backbone of mankind.
The fact that even a Guardian Deity had been deployed spoke volumes about the severity of this Catastrophe-level rift.
Ling Kong stared intently at the rippling distortion, the faint fissures flickering within.
His expression was grave.
The reason ferocious beasts existed in this world—
Was because of these spatial rifts.
At the beginning…
Only Extraordinary and Commander-level beasts could pass through them.
But over the years, as the world developed—
Stronger and stronger creatures began emerging.
All mutated or evolved non-native creatures—
Came through these rifts.
A Catastrophe-level rift might not spawn weaklings—
But its true terror lay in the monsters that could emerge from it.
Centuries ago, a Catastrophe-level rift appeared in Mountain Eagle Nation.
A Mythical-level beast crawled out.
The nation nearly fell.
That was hundreds of years ago.
With time, humanity had finally produced Guardian Deity-level Beast Tamers—
Capable of resisting Mythical beasts.
But a spatial rift was like a ticking bomb.
There was no reason to leave it intact.
It had to be eliminated.
"Silver Sky War Dragon!"
Ling Kong activated his Beast Space.
A dragon's roar echoed across the sky.
A fifty-meter-long Western dragon appeared, its entire body covered in silver-like scales that shimmered under sunlight. Fine currents of air flowed across its body.
Its aura was terrifying.
A pressure unique to Guardian Deity-level existence spread outward, causing wild beasts nearby to flee in panic.
A Space + Dragon-type, Mythical-level beast.
Ling Kong's trump card.
Since ancient times—
When space appears, it reigns supreme.
Though the Silver Sky War Dragon was only at the lower Mythical tier—
Even high-tier Mythical beasts were often no match for it.
"Spatial Lockdown—stabilize the distortion!"
At Ling Kong's command—
The dragon roared.
Silver energy surged across its body. With a powerful flap of its wings, space itself was restrained.
Gradually—
The trembling sky calmed.
The rippling air smoothed out.
Ling Kong nodded slightly.
A hint of relief surfaced.
It seemed… manageable.
BOOM!!!
The next moment—
The suppressed space exploded into even more violent turbulence.
As if angered.
A far stronger spatial fluctuation erupted.
The Silver Sky War Dragon's spatial restraint—
Was instantly shattered.
It was blasted backward.
Tearing—
The sky split open like a ripped curtain.
A pitch-black, irregular rift appeared, stretching downward toward the ocean.
Within it—
Darkness.
Like a gateway to another dimension.
Suddenly—
Seawater began pouring out of the rift.
It flooded into Blue Star's ocean.
Which meant—
The other side was also a sea.
Everyone's faces turned pale.
Because along with the seawater—
Countless ferocious beasts poured out.
Each one grotesque.
Their lowest rank—
King-level.
"Kill!!!"
There was no turning back now.
Fortunately—
Everyone present was at least Master-level.
All possessed King-level beasts.
"Leave the King-level to you! Overlord-level to us!"
Legendary Beast Tamers roared.
Beast after beast was summoned.
Since the rift appeared above the ocean—
Water-type creatures were inevitable.
So their lineups focused on counters:
Grass, Electric, Wind, Poison—
Especially Poison—
Capable of contaminating the sea itself.
Battle erupted.
Chaos filled the skies and sea.
Yet—
It was controlled.
Beast Tamer beasts, strengthened by resources and talents—
Dominated those of equal rank.
The ocean turned crimson.
Colorful skills clashed in the air.
Relief spread.
Perhaps this rift would only produce King and Overlord-level threats.
But then—
BOOM… BOOM… BOOM…
A heavy sound echoed from within the rift.
The ocean trembled.
Waves surged violently.
Something enormous—
Was coming.
All beasts seemed to submit—
As if welcoming a king.
A massive head emerged.
Triangular like a triceratops.
Blue skin.
A horn on its forehead.
Compound eyes.
Just the head alone—
Over thirty meters long.
At that instant—
The sea roared.
Towering waves rose.
A suffocating pressure descended.
Hearts clenched.
Blood flow slowed.
All Beast Tamer beasts—
Collapsed unconscious.
Only Overlord-level ones struggled to remain standing.
"My… Mythical-level!"
Ling Kong's voice trembled.
A new species.
But that wasn't the issue.
There were countless unknown beasts beyond the rifts.
Human knowledge barely scratched the surface.
He assessed—
He could handle it.
His dragon was space-type—
Above all elements.
But then—
The creature's gaze locked onto the Silver Sky War Dragon.
Its pressure condensed—
And struck.
The dragon roared back.
Its own pressure erupted.
BOOM!!!
Two Mythical-level forces collided.
The sky twisted.
The ocean shook violently.
Lightning crackled.
Shockwaves spread endlessly.
The warship rocked violently.
Evenly matched?
Ling Kong's eyes turned silver.
His power surged.
Spatial Amplification activated.
The dragon's pressure soared.
Yet—
The stalemate remained.
Ling Kong frowned.
Something felt wrong.
Then—
He saw it.
Mockery in the creature's eyes.
The balance shattered.
The dragon's pressure—
Collapsed instantly.
The enemy's force slammed down.
The Silver Sky War Dragon was sent flying—
Blood scattering through the sky.
Fear flooded Ling Kong's heart.
Not Mythical.
Above Mythical.
A realm humanity had never reached.
"Retreat! Everyone retreat!"
"Return immediately! Abandon all bases within tens of thousands of kilometers around Tianyuan!"
"Evacuate underground if necessary!"
"A being above Mythical has appeared!!!"
Panic exploded.
The warship fled.
Ling Kong summoned another beast—
Flash Blaze Butterfly.
Fire + Wind, Overlord-level.
He mounted it—
Not to escape—
But to buy time.
For humanity.
If the ship was destroyed—
The warning would never reach the rear.
The creature continued emerging—
Water coiling around its body.
The ocean bowed.
Like it was the god of the sea.
Then—
Without warning—
The massive waves behind it collapsed.
Ling Kong froze.
The creature itself seemed startled.
He turned—
And saw it.
At the horizon—
A mountain-sized whale approached.
A far more terrifying divine aura descended.
His beasts whimpered.
Fear filled their hearts—
And his.
Another one?!
Humanity was doomed…
Then—
He saw it.
On the whale's back—
Humans.
Real humans.
"What…?"
Before he could process—
The dragon-like beast roared.
Its full power erupted.
But—
The whale's gaze sharpened.
Its pressure—
Shattered the attack instantly.
Then—
A stronger force descended.
The dragon was slammed into the sea.
It took a long time to resurface—
Dazed.
Terrified.
"What… is that…?"
A voice came from the whale's back.
"Come on, fight me."
"You've got ocean authority too, right? But you can't even attack properly against a Sea Monster."
"Fine, I'll switch."
"Something your attribute counters."
ROAR—
A crimson, dinosaur-like figure appeared.
Magma flowed across its body.
The sea boiled.
Heaven and earth trembled.
It stood silently—
Yet radiated overwhelming dominance.
"Try again."
The dragon trembled.
It turned—
And fled.
"Running already?"
"Precipice Blades."
The red beast stomped.
Within the rift—
A molten mountain spike erupted.
The fleeing creature—
Was struck directly.
Explosion.
Like countless nuclear detonations.
The sea split.
The seabed was exposed.
Heat vaporized the ocean.
At the center—
The creature was annihilated.
Reduced to ash.
The shockwave tore through the rift—
Cracks spread.
Then—
It shattered.
Erased completely.
Ling Kong drifted in shock.
The Catastrophe-level rift—
Gone.
The being above Mythical—
Gone.
Minutes later—
Calm returned.
"How strong was that thing?"
Ling Kong snapped back.
He looked at the young man—
Fearful.
"That… was above Mythical…"
"We… have no way to deal with it."
"Oh."
A disappointed voice.
"You can't even handle something that weak?"
"Then you're really too weak."
Ling Kong: "…"
He couldn't argue.
The young man recalled the red beast.
Beast Space.
Human.
A human!
Ling Kong clenched his fists.
Humanity had hope!
Before he could speak—
The whale had already departed.
He didn't dare follow.
As long as he was human—
That was enough.
Excitement surged.
He had to report this.
Meanwhile—
Rin Aokawa sat atop the Sea Monster.
He now understood this world's power level.
That dragon—
Barely at the level of a Third-Tier God.
And humans couldn't handle it.
He nodded in satisfaction.
With the Sea Monster and Land Monster—
He could roam freely.
Though—
There might be stronger beings.
During the explosion—
He sensed something deeper within the rift.
A stronger presence.
"Next time."
"For now… I need to go make videos for the kids."
"Oh right…"
"My TOP 3 video's been out for a while…"
"My World Luck Value should be full now."
He opened his panel.
