Chapter 270 Qualitative Changes; Legolas's New Beast Tree

Legolas was not the only one who broke through.

Predator was the pioneer and through the organic connection that connected them all, the others also broke through in their different locations.

In the secret hideout of the Grade C Superhuman alliance, Hunter Master Lydia addressed her companions, explaining the rational of the plan to them.

"Our priority should be on locking the Giant out of combat".

"Since it is Clown's trump card to deter us, locking it out of combat will expose the defenses of their headquarters, allowing us to storm in".

"Since it is their headquarters, their full force will be concentrated here".

"Our priority is not only disabling their operations but capturing Clown, but…" This female hunter's eyes gleamed. "If he resists, do not hesitate to bring the terrorist down, that is the least outcome that he deserves".

She turned to face Core Protector Shanks. "Who do you think?"

This old Core Protector looked through the rough map that was drawn, he looked at all the focal points of this raid then he sighed. "I don't know, my intuition just keeps on telling me that something is wrong".

"I don't think anything is wrong with the plan but the Clown Society". He looked at everyone present. "They are known for planning ahead their enemies".

"I feel that they are prepared for our coming".

"Even if they are prepared, they can't stop all of us together". White Flame Eleanor said as her powerful energy flared aggressively.

While they finalized their plans, 2 students conversed.

Christensen chuckled. "I still can't believe you've exceeded me already". He sighed. "What kind of senior brother is weaker than his junior brother?"

Blade smiled. "Not just you, I've exceeded master too".

"Ahh…, that's true". Christensen scratched his head.

"Do you think we can save him?" Blade suddenly asked.

Christensen looked at him. "I think…"

He suddenly paused and looked to the top of this secret hideout where a familiar bird of prey perched, Bran looked at him one last time before his eyes flashed a bright golden color filled with powerful energy.

BOOM!

Bran's breakthrough started on the spot!

Bzzz!

Spatial nodes to the Void Dimension were opened by the ongoing breakthrough, all the Grade C Superhumans were startled.

Bran slowly levitated in the skies as this Void Raven started undergoing a qualitative change. Bran did not only become bigger, the golden stripes across his skin glowed brighter even as his void energy turned thicker.

In less than a minute, the breakthrough was over.

Bzzz!

With one slice of his gigantic black wings, the Void Raven cut the space open.

He looked one last time at his master's 2 students.

'I'm going ahead of you'. He directly communicated to their mind.

Without hesitation, the Void Raven jumped in and disappeared.

"What happened?"

Christensen ignored this superhuman as he sprinted towards where Core Protector Shanks was. "We need to move now; my master just broke through!"

"That kid is now a Grade C Superhuman?!"

Shock was evident on this Core Protector's voice.

He and all those that knew Legolas's real identity were horrified, Legolas's development speed was unprecedented in the history of this planet.

One question dominated all their minds.

'How can a freakin 16-year-old become a Grade C Superhuman?'

"We need to move now!" Christensen reminded.

While he reminded them, Blade already went to the armory of the alliance. There, he picked up a random sword that could barely withstand his power.

His eyes gleamed sharply. "Master, I am coming…"

They no longer needed any urging, Core Protector Shanks accelerated the procedures and finalized the plan as all the Grade C Superhumans got prepared to leave but at the last moment, White Flame Eleanor suddenly froze.

She inclined her head like she was listening to a sound wave in the air.

Her eyes suddenly widened in shock. "He survived…?!"

Core Protector Shanks noticed her reaction, he turned. "What?"

"…"

Eleanor did not answer, she tore the fabric of space open before teleporting to a direction that was opposite the destination of the alliance.

Core Protector Shanks was left flabbergasted by her impulsive action but this did not stop the plan, it already started, it could no longer be stopped.

Bzzz!

Dozens of Grade C Superhumans teleported out of this hideout.

The tension all across Planet Darvis increased.

…

Today, the Steep Hills was experiencing a phenomenon that was last seen among the Wolf ecosystem here more than at least 5 centuries ago.

While Nymeria, the Alpha Female of the ruling Wolf Kingdom entered labor to give birth to the Alpha's pups, the Alpha himself entered a special state.

Once again, Akela got to leapfrog through Predator's genius.

Akela was undergoing an evolution!

This Wind Wolf's eyes literally turned watery in emotion as he felt the powerful energy revolving around his body. "Predator, I owe you for life".

This massive Wind Wolf experienced a qualitative change.

Akela did not become much bigger, he instead became much sleeker and deadlier, he now looked more like a Wolf geared for assassination.

An aura of domination and leadership engulfed this powerful Wind Wolf.

Unlike the others, Akela's evolution was more geared towards leadership.

After his 4th evolution, Akela became a Grade C Emperor Wolf!

His aura spread throughout the whole Steep Hills, announcing the birth of the new Wolf Emperor. All across the Steep Hills, every wolf that felt the aura instinctively prostrated in respect and worship.

Apart from his size increase and muscle development, the most iconic physical change that Akela experienced was feathers.

On all 4 of his legs, and on both sides of his body close to his neck grew out feathers that granted Akela an unprecedented control over the Wind Element.

Akela looked one last time at his wife.

"Show me my mighty Pups on my return".

"As for now…" His eyes gleamed. "I go to war!"

Bzzz!

Akela alone was now able to tear the barrier open and unleash the rainbow bridge, this powerful Wind Wolf sprinted through alone.

Akela was off to the Hellfire Mountains.

While all these happened and as the tension increased, Predator was dragged to the Nightmare Beast Island. Precisely, he was dragged to the ancient rock that sat at the very center of this island.

This black rock at this moment was occupied by 3 beasts extremely similar to Predator, 3 powerful Grade C Nightmare Beasts!

Predator looked up at them, their identities instantly became evident.

As they looked at the Nightmare Beast, they slowly frowned.

"You're a Summoner's contracted beast?"

"Damn right!" Predator grunted.

"…"

They wordlessly stared at this descendant of theirs.

"We are the 3 Nightmare Beast Ancestors…"

"I can see that".

The Nightmare Beast with the smallest size among the 3 let his energy loose. "Because you evolved does not mean you can disrespect your ancestors, Predator".

"You even know my name, good, that makes things easier". Predator's eyes gleamed. "Can we leave all these ancestor sh*t for later? Because, right now, my blood is already boiling for battle".

"After we thrash the Clown Society, I may make up time to return here".

"You…!" The smallest of the 3 Nightmare Beasts was enraged.

The biggest of them all who also seemed to be the oldest stopped him before he could vent his anger, this gigantic Nightmare Beast curiously scrutinized this descendant of his. "Predator, I like your personality, bold".

"Go and win your battle, then come back to meet us".

"You have a lot to learn about our race".

He smirked. "If you want to get stronger faster, you also have a lot to learn".

At the words 'get stronger faster', Predator's eyes lit up. "I'll definitely come back!"

"But for now, adios!"

"What does that mean?"

"I don't know, Legolas likes using it".

Predator no longer waited, he directly tore the fabric of space open before teleporting out of this isolated island back to where his instincts drew him to.

Bzzz!

…

While every powerhouse like her went to the forefront of the confrontation against the Clown Society, Eleanor teleported back to her secret training space pocket. Unknown to many, Eleanor also had an affinity for the space element.

Though it was undeveloped, she was able to create a secret space pocket.

This was where she developed most of her most potent healing abilities, and the only other person that knew this place and had been here was someone who was very important to her.

Bzzz!

As soon as she arrived, she looked inside the hut in the space pocket.

Her eyes instantly turned watery. "You survived…?"

"Eleanor". Jon Stones calmly turned to look at her.
