Chapter 12: Great Ocean III
"Well aren't you excited." The Chimera chuckled after Valmus finished his roar.
After hearing his voice Valmus didn't even need to turn to know who had spoke, after all there were only three beings he has talked to since he entered the bubble.
"It's more of relieved than excited. How've you been Farmer?" Valmus smiled he could finally stand before the presence of the Chimera.
His bones didn't creak, his blood didn't flow backward, his internals were stable and not reduced into a mist of blood, his soul no longer felt and excruciating weight, he felt himself and was pleased this was how it was always supposed to be.
A thundering laugh soon echoed throughout the coast as the chimeras eye twitched, Ursala broke into a fit if laughter after hearing how Valmus addressed M''oieri.
"I warned you about making bad first impression but you never listened, now look you've earned the monicker of a mortal plant tender." She laughed not caring to give the chimera face.
"Enough of that Ursala," the chimera barked after a few minutes of letting Ursala enjoy her laugh.
"I'm sure she's explained the gist of why your still alive?" He asked turning his attention back to Valmus.
"She did, I'm to help however I can when I can." He replied briefly nit going into details.
"Good, now then you've already exceeded the promised six body and soul refinement. Granting you the chance to transcend your state of being would be too much, don't you agree?" The chimera questioned.
"I don't, whatever it is your going to do is probably very dangerous. Do you really think a human would survive it? Right now my body and soul may surpass the threshold of what's human but I'm still capped by my racial state. I don't believe a human can wantonly do what your proposing me to do." He explained.
"Could you ber your existence on that?" The Chimeras voice grew sombre as it's gaze sharpened.
"I can, only a monster in human skin can do what your proposing. I'm yet to reach that standard." Valmus replied his gaze no less sharper than the chimeras.
The chimera looked away and turned its back on Valmus, "when your done with your transaction climb on my back and we'll be on our way. There's a lot to do and to little time to do it."
Valmus nodded and turned towards the Kraken, she stretched out her tentacles and grasped his shoulders, chest and forehead.
Valmus bit his tongue to hold himself back from screaming, the amount of pain he was experiencing was even beyond what he felt when tearing if a sliver of his soul.
He could also feel something foreign in his body finally surrendering it's self to him fully and not one-sidedly as it was before. He could also feel a wave of information hurriedly flowing into his mind like a raging river threatening to destroy his psyche.
He couldn't even tell how much time had passed until he got his bearing back, he found himself writhing on the ground in a fetal position curled up and trembling lying on the shore of carcasses.
"Hmm it took him six hundred and sixty six seconds to come through, not bad." Ursala praised as she begun to retreat into the great ocean.
"If the fates will it, may we meet again old friend and you too Valmus." She smiled for what seemed to be the first time since Valmus met her.
"How does she..." His question was interrupted by an annoyed growl
"Get moving already human."
Valmus sighed as he approached the chimera, he climbed it's back and chose to stay silent as he sorted out his mind, body and soul.
'System.' He called out inwardly.
{{System functions have been sealed with the sole exception of announcements and announcement logs. Please Pass or Survive your bubble to regain the system functions and status elevation from Invader to Player.}}
A notification popped up, he had already seen it for the last few months that he had been within the bubble and it had not changed in the slightest.
'Announcement logs.' He ordered.

'Tsk, as much as i feel happy knowing I have obtained things warranting rewards, not knowing what they're worth too frustrating.' Valmus inwardly complained, he looked back at the great ocean with a look of appreciation as he mummbled lightly to himself.
"When all this is over, I will honor your assistance in illuminating my path to that you have my word The Great Ocean Panthalasa."
Valmus looked away missing the heavenly phenomenon that covered the Great Ocean as soon as he called it by it's name, a name it had earned so long ago but no one knew.
It was etched on the surface of its heart in a language only invaders could understand, modern day English.
Panthalasa's will etched his name next to it's heart for only he who knows her name would be worthy to have their own etched near hers for she was part of the havens will hut at the same time independent of it.
Much like her four siblings that was the Western Valley of the Abyss, or the Northern Gargantuan Mountains, or the Primal Forest of the South or the Converging dessert of the Central. They were all part Of the havens will but still independent of it, she could only hope that one day, their names would also he remembered, honored and carried on like hers would... hopefully.
