CHAPTER 397: CHAPTER 397: CONQUEROR MODE AVATAR

When it came to upgrading all his powers, Kael had definitely been busy, even though it didn’t really look like it.

He couldn’t have gotten so casually ruthless and overbearing if he didn’t have the power and authority to back up such character.

What had Kael just done?

Kael was sitting quietly at the edge of the arkship in his true lion form, enjoying the breeze blowing through his dark golden mane.

He had been sitting here for some time, thinking of ways in which he could better prepare for the inevitable.

Then suddenly, he had received a message from Alora. A lot of Conquering Essence was spent meaning she was either very far away or something was blocking the transmission.

Either way, Kael immediately went into action.

He had developed a new technique that was based on his identity as a Primordial Lion.

Conqueror Mode Avatar.

Just as Kael had named it, it allowed him to forcefully make another lion or lioness enter Conqueror Mode.

However, any lion or lioness who wasn’t a Primordial Lion with a Conqueror Lionheart, couldn’t possibly withstand the power of the Conqueror Mode and survive to tell about it.

In the past years, Kael had tested it on some unsuspecting lions on Eridoria and most of the lions died.

He planned to give as many of his allies a fighting chance, all for the sake of his survival of course.

Eventually, Kael discovered that if he could partially take over the body of the lion or lioness who was using the Conqueror Mode, they could not only survive, but also achieve better results.

Hence, the name, Conqueror Mode Avatar.

Since it was a technique that cost a lot of Conquering Essence to perform, Kael wasn’t too willing to use it anyhow.

But, he had been hoping for a situation to come up where he would need to use it.

In truth, he was waiting for someone like Xu Ying, Exalon, or Chloe’s grandfather to contact him for help before he did it. The last two were already tier 6 and he would have wanted to have a feel of a higher power.

Lo and Behold, Alora messaged him.

When Kael had told Alora to contact him in case of trouble, he had initially just planned to contact other Lion Kings to go and help her.

But one word in Alora’s message stuck out.

Dragons.

Without hesitation, Kael immediately activated the Conqueror Mode Avatar.

Since Alora was linked to the Lion System, Kael was able to instantly activate his technique.

What he saw stunned him.

At that time, Alora was looking at the moon-sized arkship. Her body had exploded with a shocking amount of Conquering Essence, enhancing all her abilities, including her eyesight.

And in that brief moment that Kael partially took over her body, he saw him.

The dragon-lion hybrid. The son of Derylia and Sakan. The abomination.

Mighty wings tucked cleanly to the side as he sat quietly with a look of curiosity in those pale red pupils.

There was something else, an intense desire to destroy, a vengeful intent.

The lions sought to conquer all, and the dragons wanted to destroy all.

It was like two apex gods meeting. Within three seconds, Kael understood what was happening.

He immediately urged Alora’s mind to use her newfound free time to open a heavenly gate portal to Leonine Heaven.

The heavenly portal opened underneath her and she fell to heaven.

By the time Alora was safe inside a room that Kael assumed was Alora’s, he deactivated the technique.

Three seconds, plus the time in heaven, another three seconds.

Six seconds was all it took for Kael to set the whole lion society in a state of confusion.

//////

On one of the Lion System public forums.

...: Did the Primordial Lion come out?

...: What just happened?

...: I think the Primordial Lion just came out of hiding.

...: Then why is he showing off so much, is he trying to get killed?

...: It happened so fast.

...: Wait, aren’t you speaking with us from heaven? I’m with Exalon and other Lion Kings in the Void Spill Galaxy, we felt the power pulse here.

...: That’s weird, I’m also in heaven and I felt the pulse here.

...: What are you guys talking about? King Kael is still here on @#$##$.

...: Why is the name not showing?

...: Probably a blocked word.

...: What’s happening, what are the lion kings going to do?

...: So you’re not a lion king? What a waste of balls.

...: Wait, if the Primordial Lion is still in that mysterious place, but he also seems to have come out from hiding, and is also in heaven.

Where is he exactly?

...: We’ll have to find out.

...: Primordial Lion, you can come out, we’ll definitely protect you.

...: Yeah, you gave us this Lion System, if anything happens to you, how could we live with ourselves?

...: Yesterday, I had the meat of a blue hide rhino from the Black Spinner Galaxy. I don’t know how I would exist without the exchange feature, I swear.

...: Can you believe there was a time no one had the Lion system?

...: That’s like seven or eight years ago though, not that long.

...: We actually thought we were living life back then. No, life without the system is not life.

Kael sat down at the edge of his arkship, browsing through the contents of the public chat forum.

He sighed once again.

His body was a bit relaxed but his mind was very sharp. Kael’s thoughts split like a river into multiple channels.

He started calculating, analysing different pathways this could go. His powerful brain worked overtime.

This incident even caused Kael to discover something he had not thought of before.

The activation of the Conqueror Mode Avatar sent a signal to all lions within the galaxy, and the pulse traveled faster than the speed of light.

The pulse itself wasn’t powerful, merely information from the universal Law of Conquering.

But it was information nonetheless.

Kael had entered Conqueror Mode on Eridoria a few times. The lions and lionesses here never noticed if they were far away because Kael was a Primordial Lion.

At best, those close to him would sense the change in aura, not a literal pulse.

Even in his battle with the tigers, when he entered Conqueror Mode, he didn’t release any pulse.

But when Kael tested the Conqueror Mode Avatar on the lions of Eridoria, he had never thought much of it, nor did the lions living there.

Although they had talked of something strange happening on Eridoria in the public forums, Kael never put too much thought into it and just assumed it was a normal reaction.

And because the spatial barrier was still up and very effective in distorting information like the pulse of a law, no one outside ever thought of it either.

After all, the lions in heaven just assumed that the Eridoria lions were speaking of some strange phenomenon gay was common around the Primordial Lion.

Never did Kael expect it to be such a huge thing.

Entering Conqueror Mode for him was fine. Kael had only released pulses when he first completed his transformation into a Primordial Lion cub.

Back then, no one assumed that the cause of that pulse was a Primordial Lion.

The next pulse was when he absorbed Noel’s Heavenly Beacon and became tier 4.

Since then, he had not released any pulse, not even when he activated Conqueror Mode.

Alas, other lions were not like him, they did not have his unique body. When the Conqueror Mode Avatar was activated on them, their bodies would not be able to manage all that power.

This then resulted in the release of a law pulse that alerted every single lion in the Void Spill Galaxy.

Kael was both excited and apprehensive.

He could use this to his advantage.

Maybe, just maybe, he would be able to survive this ordeal he was currently in.

Kael felt that he needed to consult with the others, this plan was too delicate to be decided over by only him.

He stood up, eyes firm and focused on the sun.

Operation Exodus was in progress.

///////

Meanwhile,

Pagast stood in his humanoid form inside the command bridge of his private shuttle.

He had been going somewhere when he felt that pulse. For three straight seconds, he and every lion and lioness inside the shuttle were confused.

"What was that?" Pagast asked as he stood up from his throne.

"Your Majesty," A lioness, one of Pagast’s consorts, "I think that was the Primordial Lion,"

"It was," Pagast said with a weary look in his eyes.

"It seemed to have come from the headquarters of the Fanged Flower Alliance, Your Majesty." Another lioness spoke.

Just then, Pagast received a very faint telepathic message that seemingly came from nowhere.

Pagast raised one of his white eyebrows as he digested the information and the order he was giving.

He chuckled lightly, "I was going to visit her anyway.

Oh Alora, don’t blame me..."
