Chapter 264 - Taking Action [1].

3 days later…

After taking his time to plan extensively while scouting the whole forest island, highlighting any noteworthy fact in the process, Sebastian finally arrived with concrete results.

The past 3 days were one of his most stressful and most carefree days since he transmigrated into this world a few months ago.

During the time when he scouted, he had to always remain tense and at high alert which led to situations where he could not rest even for a second.

But after those scouting rounds, he slept for as long as he could.

This doppelganger test was a test with a time limit and should have given every one of the competitors a lot of pressure, but Sebastian could hardly feel it.

In conventional cases, the last doppelganger test that was conceived by the Doppelganger and Invisibility Sea King was an annoyingly complicated one, but it was not that complicated to Sebastian.

This was because he was not a conventional case.

Anytime that he remembered the confident quotes that were written by the Sea King's will, he simply felt like chuckling.

"If you don't know information about the old world where variant humans originated from, you are bound to fail".

"To be the inheritor of my ultimate inheritance, prove that you can do wonders and survive perils beyond the confines of your original body".

"For over a century, I created doppelgangers of numerous races just to understand how to be them. By being them to the extent where they can't even distinguish themselves from me, it is the reason for my astonishing success".

Anytime that Sebastian recalled these, he felt like a fraudster. For this last test, he was simply a cheat code.

Perhaps, if the Sea King's will had decided to transform him to become like the monster-like men of the snowmen race, he would have found it hard since he literally had to learn to adapt to an entirely new body.

Fortunately, the Sea King miscalculated.

In its opinion, as a monster Megalodon, anything monster-like would be easier for him to adapt to, so it decided to transform him into the conceivably more complicated physique in beast terms to him, an Atlantian body.

Unfortunately for this Sea King, Atlantians were the only variant humans who were closest to the normal physique and buildup of original humans.

And, Sebastian lived over 2 decades as a human in his previous world compared to the few months that he had lived as a Megalodon.

And as an anatomist, he was too familiar with the human physique.

This was not the only reason why he was a cheat code for this test, the second reason was related to the first quote of the Sea King's will.

According to the Sea King, he had to know information about the old world where variant humans originated from to even have a chance.

This was the emphasis on intelligence.

As the overlord race of Oceania, practically every beast with some form of intelligence already heard of the origin of the Atlantians and other variant humans.

To know more though, these mutated beasts needed another push of intelligence which most beasts simply didn't have.

This was where Sebastian was another cheat code.

Why did he need to ask others about the origin planet of the Atlantians, Earth, when this world was his own home?

It was like capturing a shark to a research factory, giving the shark intelligence, and later instructing the now intelligent shark to read about the sea when this fellow already lived and breathe the sea.

Sebastian didn't know how the Sea King was able to get so much information about earth to simulate such a realistic one, but all he knew was that he knew thousand times more about earth than the Sea king knew.

This situation was like going into an exam hall but seeing all the answers to the questions before then already, it was just too damn easy.

The requirements of this last test revealed a lot of useful information to him. Though he already heard it from Tonado before, getting to confirm that Atlantians originated from earth made waves erupt in his heart.

What happened? Is Oceania the future of the earth where he came from? Or is Oceania the past? Did a calamity hit earth just after he transmigrated?

The questions just came into his mind, hitting him like ballistic missiles but he couldn't come up with a plausible explanation.

After 3 days of thinking and not arriving at an explanation, he already forgot about it and was now focused on finishing the last test.

When he got his 2nd unique skill, and if he succeeded in escaping from all the consequences that followed alive, that was when he would go look for answers.

At this moment, he was still too incapable to look for answers. As a purple tier predator, he believed that he could do more then.

After 3 days of observation, he already understood the island completely.

The Sea King tried in replicating earth from his knowledge. The humans were realistic, they were a little ahead of earth where Sebastian came from in technology which was a cheat, but they had no magic abilities which were real.

The unrealistic part of this earth was that origin magic was present. Sebastian didn't complain though, this was his only advantage over the humans.

Though for the past 3 days, he had not been able to get a good glimpse of the proposed U.S President that he was tasked to assassinate, Sebastian already observed enough to get a good plan.

The island had 5 military outposts. One was close to the President's vacation mansion in the middle of the island, while the other 4 were at the 4 extreme cardinal points of the island.

The military outposts were all heavily fortified, soldiers were armored with powerful weapons, and the outposts had basic defense machines also.

The vacation mansion was not too heavily guarded. Clearly, the President didn't want a rigid environment for his vacation which was now an advantage that Sebastian was eager to take advantage of.

Despite the loose nature of this vacation island, Sebastian dared not underestimate a U.S President even if it was envisioned from the unrealistic fantasies and knowledge of a Sea King.

This was why it took him 3 days to finish drafting his plan.

Unlike other competitors, not only did he not have to familiarize himself with the body that he was given, but he also didn't have to puzzle over his environment since the land was his home where he lived for 2 decades and more.

Sebastian's plan was very straightforward, it involved little complicacies.

The plan basically entailed sneaking in, evading any detection method, locating the President's room with familiarity and all that, then assassinating the President.

Boom! The test was completed and his 2nd unique skill was secure.

The plan felt stupid and too basic, but Sebastian was confident that it would work. He only had to finetune it and improvise in accordance with the changing situation, and he could even create a new plan on the spot if the need called for it.

With this, Sebastian was ready.

Gong!

A loud gonging sound suddenly reverberated in the eastern cardinal point of the island, this was where one of the military outposts was located and this gong sound was a signal for changing of shifts.

This was when Sebastian acted.

Having studied the soldiers already, he knew that a small window of opportunity to sneak through would appear during this time.

He waited patiently for precisely 1 minute and 12 seconds, then he moved.

Plop!

He noiselessly dived into the raging waves of the seawater.
