Chapter 378 Preparations For The Cataclysm
"You must be Legolas; it is nice to meet you". Gorgon had a bright curious smile on his face as he shook the hand of the once in a lifetime genius.
Gorgon's curiosity clearly had no limits as he blatantly observed Legolas' face like he was an interesting test subject, he stroked his hands delicately.
Then he looked deep into his eyes like he was looking for some mystery.
"Becoming a Grade E Summoner like any normal Superhuman".
"Getting blackmailed by your twin brother's instructor".
"Being sent to a dangerous island to die yet you managed to strive. Not only strive, you led criminals into one of the most dramatic and unexpected escapades in the history of the Planet".
"Displaying battle experience that exceeds the level of a 15-year-old".
"Showcasing intelligence that is too fictional to be true".
"Outwitting Superhumans who are literally decades older than you".
"Being able to read the future, playing Norman like a kid, matching and outwitting him at his own game".
"Are you a Prophet? Can you see the future?"
He did not let Legolas answer. "When faced with the most overwhelming of odds, doing the impossible and proving the quote that impossible is nothing".
"You literally became a God of War in the battle of Hellfire Mountains".
"I keep on watching that footage everyday and I'm still baffled".
"How did you manage to do it?"
"Is this a trait exclusive to only once in lifetime geniuses like you?"
"Damn, you prevented 3 of us from making the most dramatic entry ever, coming like the knight in shining armor to save the planet when it needed old monsters like us the most".
"I've never felt old before but seeing your achievements, sigh…" He rubbed his nose and sniffed. "I feel f*cking old man".
Gorgon grabbed Legolas by the face and looked deep into his eyes in an inquisitive manner. "Who are you?"
"Tell me kid, how did you do it?"
"Are you a God?"
"…"
By now, Legolas was already flabbergasted.
"Ahem…" Shanks coughed. "Master, can you please snap out of it?"
"I must know the truth, are you really a God?"
The next moment, one of the 3 old monsters took a step forward.
Thud!
His leg hitting the ground sent ripples everywhere. His eyes blazed like a furnace as he looked straight into Gorgon's eyes.
"Honor is very important". He said seriously.
"Do not embarrass me". He warned.
"Hehe…" Gorgon chuckled as he removed his hands from Legolas' face, he shook his hands nonchalantly. "You're too serious George".
"Someone can't play with you?"
They all chuckled before going inside the Presidential Villa.
A few minutes later, they were seated inside a large hall alongside the other High Officials of the Planet as they were about to start the meeting.
"I have to admit, you've done a lot since becoming the President". Enoch sincerely complemented him.
"If there were no aliens, I'm sure you would have made Planet Darvis a paradise given just a few decades, it's a pity".
This time, President Shanks became the middleman between powerhouses of the different eras as he introduced the old monsters to the High Officials.
After that, the old monsters finally proposed their solution.
Gorgon went first. "I can't really say it's my plan since I mostly adapted it from Ash's plan".
As he started speaking about the fate of the planet, Gorgon's face turned serious. "I call my plan Operation Absolute Zero".
"Absolute Zero is the Primordial Alpha of all Wild Beasts in the North. Her own strength is not her greatest trait, her greatest trait is the incredible ability to command every single wild beast in the North like an Emperor".
"The last time I checked, there are up to 5 Upper rank Grade C Beasts in the North alone, this is a sizeable force against any opposition force".
"After years of studying her and her abilities, I was able to create a Special Ability. This ability enables me to have a minute control over Absolute Zero for a short amount of time, this time is enough to mobilize her army".
"It's not enough to annihilate the aliens but it's enough to make an impact in the coming cataclysm, I also hope to master my ability more as time goes".
After he was done explaining, everyone present fell into silence.
His words may have been short and to the point but they were powerful. The ability to control a Primordial Monster like Absolute Zero was a crazy one.
This alone already justified the President's decision to seek out the old monsters. After Gorgon spoke, George spoke next.
"During my centuries of seclusion seeking ways to save my planet, less of my focus went to my personal strength, more of it went to potion and pill making".
"After centuries of research and constant concoction, I have attained the rank of a Grandmaster Alchemist".
"If a full-blown planet-wide war starts, through my pills and potions, I can increase the overall strength of the planet by at least 40%".
"40%?!"
Now, this was shocking.
"Yes". George nodded. "That is my most conservative estimate, if I improve more before the cataclysm, I can increase it to 50% and at best 60%".
"That…, is crazy". Eleanor was amazed.
'A Grandmaster Alchemist!' Legolas was practically drooling.
As an Alchemist himself, he knew how hard it was to improve. But through a master figure with more proficiency than him, through his game interface, Legolas was confident that he could learn a lot from George before the cataclysm.
After George's reveal, Enoch spoke. "I spent all my time on understanding alien technology and machines, and though it's limited, I got some benefits".
"I understand alien technology more than anyone here".
"I believe with time, I may be able to build some of their machines".
"Also, I can easily identify weaknesses in their Battleships and other war vessels, I believe this is a valuable ability in the coming cataclysm".
Though its utility was limited compared to Gorgon and George's life works on fighting the aliens, Enoch's approach was still valuable for the coming war.
Another thing was, Enoch's approach reminded Legolas about something.
'Bran!'
'Bran's Space Lord Special Ability!'
Legolas' eyes shone. "I believe I have a means to have a closer look at the overall force of the enemies, this will aid a lot in our war preparations".
All eyes turned and focused on Legolas. "How?"
