Chapter 440: 437: Covering the Sun with the Sea

10th Ring, Sector 1, standing on the walls was a Transformer, helping the soldiers defend Marble City against the unending Swarm. Noticing a slight disturbance behind him, he turned around, looking at yellow platforms line up in his line of sight, each separated by 10 kilometres.

The yellow platforms were circular in shape, one that was used to transport students into the Graduation Ceremony Battlefield. They numbered nine in total, since there wasn't any civilian occupation in the 10 Ring yet—because it was still incomplete. Out of its 12 Sectors, only 7 had been completed. And, the remaining five were being constructed simultaneously at a tremendous pace thanks to the involvement of the Aristocratic Families.

And among the nine yellow platforms, the man noticed how two platforms weren't circular in shape but were shaped like a pair of palms facing up, carefully bringing the students into their respective Graduation Ceremony Battlefield. They meant just one fact as the man smiled, shouting, "Turn around for a second and look at this scene."

In the morning, cast amid mild mist, the rays of the morning sun were reflected by the yellow platforms, causing them to look like jewels in the sky, prized jewels of Marble City.

The soldiers immediately glanced to their backs, simultaneously noticing the two palm-shaped platforms, situated in the 7th Ring and 3rd Ring respectively.

"Two more pillars, that's great." One of the soldiers shouted, followed by the raucous cheers from the others. Their morale shot up once again as they slammed attacks on the Swarm with renewed interest.

…

9165 kilometres south-east to Marble City was a mountain spanning a height of 2228 metres. It had been patched up once again but was now melting thanks to the smouldering flames constantly ablaze in the place for the past few months.

The flames spanned a height of 400 metres now, with signs that it was slowly but surely reducing in intensity. But, it seemed the notion of vanquishing it would take a lot of time, possibly decades.

All the Frenzy Beast Ancestors that had been working on suppressing the flames were currently chilling in the surrounding water, relaxing their selves. The only one still seated on the mountain was a humanoid being that lacked a face but had long strands of hair with suction pod-like mouths. It was Rhachis Ancestor Parasite, or typically known as Mother Parasite.

At present, it hadn't used his aura to suppress the sea of flames, broiled in thought as it continued to observe the way the flames flickered and danced. Over the couple of months, the flames had turned hotter and had caused numerous atmospheric changes.

Lightning sparked through the air constantly thanks to the ionisation of it that happened in massive volumes in the region. Moreover, rain fell in huge torrents. But, even during the rain, the fire didn't die out, rather caused explosions as it vaporised the raindrops.

"All preparations are done." A massive bird-type Frenzy Beast came to report, hovering a fair distance above the mountain to shield away from the fire.

Even though it was at Tier 6, it wasn't a battle-oriented Frenzy Beast. It was the sole non-battle-oriented Frenzy Beast to reach Tier 6. And it had only done that thanks to being personally nurtured by Rhachis Ancestor Parasite.

Tier 6 Frenzy Beast—Carrier Pelican!

It was the Frenzy Beast race that transported the Frenzy Parasites Rhachis Ancestor Parasite created to the rest of the world. Upon its signal, Rhachis Ancestor Parasite got up and made a light leap, landing in the sea of flames.

It looked around, walking through the flames as it remained undamaged. It then exited the sea of flames, muttering, "That was fairly warm, Dawn. Property damage is all these aura-based flames of yours can do."

It then made another leap and landed on a wall that had been constructed a kilometre into the ocean, taking a seat as it looked at the water behind be stirred up into a massive sphere.

A large area of their home base had been turned into a sea of flames by Rhachis Ancestor Dawn using a technique in the aura path that went beyond the understanding of even Rhachis Ancestor Parasite.

After they tried many methods, all to no avail, they simply decided to brute force it until it was covered up. So, they built a wall surrounding the sea of flames, also extending a part of it into the ocean.

Now that it had left the area, the swirling of water from the ocean turned gentler as it spread through the air, moving further and further as it branched out into numerous streams. Slowly, it occupied most of the space above the sea of flames.

And, a massive volume of water was still being continuously siphoned from the ocean to fuel it. After a minute had passed in such a fashion, water began to pour down from the skies as massive columns, numbering tens of thousands.

The moment the water met fire, steam was generated. But, before the steam could fully move out, even more water fell on it, absorbing all the kinetic energy it had generated, turning it back into a liquid state.

Even then, steam originated from all over the land as the water fell into it, beginning to spread on the ground. Slowly, the ground turned a bit moist before soon a thin layer of water formed on it.

Steam was still being generated at large volumes, but the volume of the waterfall was simply tremendous, continuing to fall as the level of water rose up steadily. The process was simple, but it was a viable solution.

But, after seeing how the flames still burned within the water, continuing to vaporise it into steam, Rhachis Ancestor Parasite didn't react, having expected it already. If the solution to the problem was so simple, it would have been solved easily before.

The flames weren't actual flames. But they were the presence of the land that was fully exhibited. And, the scale of the affected land spanned tens of kilometres and had a staggering depth. So, it couldn't be stopped. If it had only occupied a small stretch of land, it could have just cut it off and tossed it aside or even thrown it towards the Skeps to trigger them. That would give it enough initiative to war with them and slaughter them until the Skep Primogenitor, its fated enemy showed up.

But the presence of the land was too deep, and hence, the sea of flames seemed to possess an inexhaustible source. They were purely fuelled by aura. And thanks to the geothermal circulation of lava in the earth, there wasn't any lack of aura to fuel it.

This was the prime reason Rhachis Ancestor Parasite was unable to solve it easily, needing to resort to such measures in the end.

"Still, you got me good this time, Dawn." It muttered, slapping its thighs once as it watched the massive pillars of water descend onto the land that was ablaze.

It then sensed something as it turned its head, looking northwest, its gaze penetrating Marble City, focusing on a certain individual before its concentration was cut off by something. It was Psychic Ancestor Marble who had sensed its gaze and took the appropriate measures instantly.

"Bundle Flea…interesting." A rare smile emerged on its face, "This would become another powerhouse of a Frenzy Beast race."

A day later, the piece of land was fully submerged underwater. The water pressure did suppress the flames to a certain extent, but thanks to the tremendous heat generated every second, the water levels constantly dipped and had to be replenished.

The Colossal Bawling Sheep was the one doing all the work. As all it needed to do now was use its psychic arms to pour water into the tens of kilometres wide basin, it maintained it while resting, something it loved to do. As long as it didn't need to move, it was fine with it.

Rhachis Ancestor Parasite gazed towards the sky, watching the tremendously massive cloud that had formed in the region thanks to all the steam that was generated every second. It continued to gaze at the cloud, finally heaving a rare long sigh, "The Silicon Era and the Dark Ages were fun."

…

It had become night now, Jyorta just woke up to see Dalna Doppler's team stagger through the end of the path. The moment they entered, they collapsed in exhaustion. After resting for a couple of minutes, Dalna Doppler recovered a bit as she looked up to inspect her surroundings, seeing the figures of Jyorta and Duvic, both in sleeping postures.

And, judging by their breathing, they seemed to have been in such a state for quite a lot of time.

"W-When," Taking in a deep breath, Dalna Doppler adjusted her breathing as she looked at Jyorta, "When did you come here?"

"A long time ago, to be frank," Jyorta then pointed towards the domes, "Unfortunately for us, only when there are 15 teams can we enter a dome and fight the Tier 3 Frenzy Beasts."

He then jumped from the Battleship, watching it hover 20 centimetres higher before the rope anchoring it prevented it from moving any higher. He had coiled the rope around the path, safely anchoring the Battleship this way.

"Let me treat your injuries," Jyorta approached Dalna Doppler, seeping his psychic arm into her upon getting her approval. Her injuries mostly seemed to be tensed muscles, abrasions, some burns, and mild cuts all over her body.

His psychic arm turned pale blue as her injuries began to heal slowly. Within a minute, she was in an optimal battle state once again. Jyorta didn't heal her teammates; neither did she ask him to heal them nor did the concerned people themselves approach him to be healed.

They knew they wouldn't be able to contribute much in the next part. And their injuries weren't severe enough that they couldn't move. So, they were fine being untreated for the time being. Jyorta then arrived before the dome to see the number increase.
