Noah spent the next day in Atlantis as he toured even more exclusive locations after gaining his new title. Before he finished his meeting with the Ocean Master, he was taken to the Armory where shining piles of weapons and armors were beautifully placed.
He found himself a powerful [Plasma Gun] that could convert the water around him to shoot out blasts of plasma, its damage powerful enough to even injure someone at the Legendary rank were they to take it head-on.
The other thing that was of use that he received was the Golden Battle Suit that Atlanteans and Merfolk in the Mythical rank usually wore. It had golden runic lines traveling all over the battle suit, making it release a pulse of gold every few seconds. The suit was even better than the [Deep Sea Armor] that dropped as loot from the Anglerfish as it provided a more robust defense.
He wanted to use his newly found authority to tour some of the facilities where the even more important things like the World Engine were protected, but he couldn't easily do that even now. He would plan to obtain more information and find out exactly how the City of Atlantis was able to create something like this later.
The Ocean Master went all out with festivities after the trip to the Armory, and Noah found himself spending the rest of the night eating and drinking as he associated with the King and a few high profile Atlanteans and Merfolk. His journey to the Abyssal Zone would begin tomorrow.

The sea of the Lost World was wide and vast, with many beings holding differing goals spread throughout. In some of the deepest waters that led to one of the danger zones of the sea, Noah was situated on top of a [War Shark] that menacingly swam forward.
He left the grandiose City of Atlantis as he began his job as its Seeker, heading out to search for the missing Supreme Treasure that many wanted to get their hands on. The Ocean Master had given him many gifts, this [War Shark] at Legendary rank just being one of them.
He was carefully looking at the map of the Abyssal Zone that he was given, making sure to note which locations to be even more careful in as he moved forward. There were terrible creatures of Mythical rank and even more powerful ones like the Kraken that he still hadn't formulated a full plan on how to deal with it. Would something as simple as mentioning its old friend, King Neptune, do the trick or would it be a scene of carnage he had to overcome?
Currently, one path was to continue defeating and farming Mythical creatures, amassing enough strength before going deeper into the Abyssal Zone to see if he could repeat the scene of overcoming something of higher rank with his constant spam of extremely powerful skills just a rank below. He would have to over-prepare for this route though, as the creature he would clash with is one of the calamities of the sea.
He let out an excited sigh as even with the apprehension the idea of the Kraken brought, there was still a sense of thrill as he looked forward to matching such a beast in the future.
He would take it slow as usual, farm on the outer fringes of the Abyssal Zone before getting deeper and deeper after he amasses more skills of Legendary and Mythical rank.
There were many things happening around him, and he was only a moving portion as time went forward. By this time, gates connecting two worlds should have stabilized as an exchange of information and goods began to take place.
His homeworld had collected many skill books and items over the time since the first awakened, while the Beast World had beings at even higher levels of power that they could obtain even more skill books and cores for their quick rise in strength.
The end goal for connecting the inhabitants of the two worlds together was to promote the rapid rise in strength for both sides before the anger simmering in their hearts could be let out on one particular world that targeted them.
They would need a large boost in strength before they could even begin to entertain this idea though, so time was needed. The remaining Rulers of the Demon World were powerful, their levels of power being Legendary at the lowest. Some time and effort was required before the two connected worlds could make huge movements.
Noah kept this in the back of his mind as he swam deeper into the dark waters, killing any creatures he found as he added new skills and collected even more loot into his collection. The lowest level creatures he came across as he entered the outer fringes of the Abyssal Zone were of Epic rank, and he had come across two Legendary deep-sea creatures in just a few hours.
This time around, he tried battling using just the physical force of his body, and he found himself ripping apart the slippery fish with his bare hands. The strength of his body had legitimately reached an extremely high level that neared the peak of Mythical rank with the infusion of the Supreme Grade Golden Serum.
He looked through the skills he'd obtained so far from farming the creatures in the Abyssal Zone these past few hours.
EPIC [Water Blast] :: A powerful blast of pressurized water hones in on your enemies.
EPIC [Bombastic] :: Highly pressurized pockets of water will form and explode on command.
LEGENDARY [Hydrothermokinesis] :: Chosen areas can be superheated to extreme levels.
LEGENDARY [Hydrocyrokinesis] :: Chosen areas can be frozen below absolute zero.
Noah was enjoying the new additions as he looked forward to delving deeper into the Abyssal Zone. He ushered the [War Shark] he was riding on to go forward when something disastrous happened.
RIING!
A blaring sound unlike any he'd heard before was ringing into his mind as [Crisis Avoidance] released the largest warning he'd ever received. His mind worked at high speeds as he didn't even bother to see what threat was coming towards him as he cast the unique skill, {Spatial Travel}, right away.
...
F.u.c.k.
The skill did not activate as Noah felt the sea constrict around him, any movements or skills that allowed for teleportation or spatial movements all blocked.
"Now this is curious, you tried running so fast that you almost slipped by me. Let's have a look at you."
A playful voice rang out as Noah found the figure of a girl that seemed slightly younger than he was, yet floating in the waters of the Abyssal Zone without any level of care. His eyes grew wide with apprehension as he recognized the girl he was looking at from certain memories he had plundered before.
"Well hello there, little fish~"
