Instantly after the end of the cataclysm, as different emotions swept through the planet amid the recovery process by the authorities, inside his office, Legolas sat cross-legged as he made use of his game interface.

The war was over and yet again, he benefited massively from it.

Having amassed a sizeable amount of experience points already, the first thing that he did was spend them all on leveling further.

After becoming a Grade C Summoner, the percentage increase for each level up prize finally started decreasing a bit, giving him some much needed relief.

If the prize kept doubling with each upgrade, leveling up would be so hard that there would literally be no high-grade Super among the players.

Despite the percentage reduction though, the prize for each level up was still steep and he felt the pinch each time he leveled up.

After taking care of his leveling up problems, he finally focused on the new Advanced Summoner Class Knowledge that he got from the main storyline mission.

After contributing massively to end the cataclysm prematurely, among the other rewards, he also got a new Advanced Summoner Class knowledge, increasing his stash to an incredible collection of 3.

Originally, there were only 2 Advanced Summoner Knowledge in Planet Darvis. After the past 5 years of growth, every Grade C Superhuman already got them but yet, they were all only able to learn one of them, including Legolas.

This was because of the steep requirements to learn the Cosmic Summoner class knowledge.

Unlike the Grandmaster Beast Tamer knowledge whose main focus was on beast taming, the Cosmic Summoner enabled a Summoner to integrate more with the universe outside and it's incredible ecosystem of myriad beasts.

With the Cosmic Summoner knowledge, a Summoner becomes universal, able to communicate with any species of beast that they meet.

The requirements to learn it though were steep. It required a Summoner to singlehandedly hunt down any Cosmic Beast that can freely cruise and travel through space, killing it was the requirement.

Considering that every Cosmic Beast was a powerhouse, this mission was so difficult that it was mostly only Grade B Summoners who could learn it.

This was why it simply rotted in Legolas' inventory for years.

Despite the frustration that such a situation brought though, Legolas did not pay attention to it because of the new Advanced knowledge that he just learned.

'Giving my all to fighting the cataclysm was all worth it in the end'. He smiled. 'But for now, I need to get to the truth behind this mystery'.

The hints from his game interface still bothered him.

Champion Onana's appearance already made the storyline deviate from the one of his previous life. He thought that was all, but after defeating the Nak Navy, the ominous hints from his game interface told him that there was more.

He was desperate to find out the truth.

Afterall, the unknown was always the most dangerous.

He no longer wasted time, standing up to leave, he met Predator casually licking his paws as he lazed around inside his office.

"Buddy, let's go meet our war prisoner".

"Roar!" Predator was instantly enthusiastic.

As the single most powerful opponent that the Nightmare Beast have ever met, Predator was inherently curious to know more about the prisoner. And not just that, if possible, he wanted to fight with him again.

Bzzz!

Legolas and his beast disappeared.

When they reappeared, they levitated above the Blue Sea as Legolas' summoner energy that blasted out kept them afloat.

Champion Onana's prison was personally made by Ella and John on President Shank's request, and it was made deep inside the Blue Sea.

Made using some of the sturdiest wood available in Planet Darvis, the Grade B Mechanic was trapped in the sea, far away from any usable metal that he could use to start an escape and all his allies.

The prison was heavily guarded by a squadron of powerful Grade D Superhumans and a supervisor guard who was a Grade C Superhuman.

Enoch volunteered to guard this extremely powerful prisoner.

Thud!

Instantly after Legolas descended into the sea and arrived at the wooden prison below the sea, the guards recognized him as they greeted.

"Army Commander Legolas".

"Army Commander Legolas". A confident voice reverberated, distinguishing itself from the others as Legolas looked at this old man.

"Old Man Enoch". He smiled. "How's our prisoner?"

"He's stable, he's not stirred up any trouble since being imprisoned".

"Our only problem is his penchant of demanding to see you violently every now and then. At some point, I even thought he was planning an escape attempt".

"He's not trying to escape?" Legolas raised his brows.

"No, I think he simply wants to meet you".

Despite being baffled at the desires of his war prisoner, Legolas gave it no more attention since this was only his 2nd time meeting him.

He knew nothing about the personality of the Mechanic.

"Lead the way". Legolas followed the old Elementalist.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the middle compartment of this hidden prison where its only inhabitant was held.

The prisoner sat on the ground with his back facing the door at the far corner of his cage where the light was dim.

"I've been waiting for you". He said as soon as they arrived.

"Have you met the Bugs?"

"…"

Legolas and Enoch kept quiet with question marks all over their faces as they looked at the back of this war prisoner, then he chuckled and finally turned to face them. Legolas' heart briefly skipped a beat at the sight.

Despite fighting this warrior and defeating him already, the aura of a Grade B Super was unmistakable. Also, Onana's appearance was a little frightening.

As a cyborg, he looked nothing like a regular Nak warrior.

Onana remained sitting cross-legged as he faced the humans.

"I have a story for you". He smiled.

He didn't let Legolas speak before he continued. "Once upon a time, there was an ambitious and motivated Super. Struggling to fight and change his miserable fate, he made improving his strength his only source of satisfaction".

"His whole life, he lived to improve and prove some people wrong".

"Due to his ideologies, he was rarely satisfied and hence, his master sent him on a mission. On arriving at an unknown region, unmotivated to help his comrades, he left alone on an exploration mission deep into space".

"There, he discovered an extremely valuable resource…" He paused for emphasis. "A metal planet".

"Excited, he dived in to reap all the rewards but he was hindered by alien monsters, a special Bug specie with some terrible attributes".

"To take the metal planet all for himself, he settled close to it and studied it's natives for years, preparing for the raid to kill them all and take the Planet".

"After 5 years, he was finally confident and he commenced his plan".

"Unfortunately, he awakened a cosmic horror in the process".

"The cosmic horror caused him terrible losses, injuring him and leaving him close to death in the process as he escaped with his tail tucked beneath his legs".

"The end".

"…"

Seeing their reactions, he smirked. "I never said my story had a good ending, the sequel is even more tragic, I won't tell it".

Champion Onana looked straight at Legolas. "I have a question for you, who and what do you think my story illustrated?"

The smirk on the cyborg's face irked Legolas.

'Why should I answer him? He's the prisoner here'.

Enoch scratched his head. "Is this target Planet Darvis? And…, are you the protagonist of your story?"

Legolas turned to look at Enoch but this was when he paused…, this was because his game interface shimmered to life again with a new notification.

[You have triggered the Main Storyline Grade A Mission: The Cataclysm; Rise of the Bug Emperor!]

[Mission Details: …]

Legolas was interrupted by the prisoner.

"I'll answer". Onana smiled. "I am the protagonist of the story, but the planet is not Planet Darvis, it is Planet Titania".

"As for the villain, it's the real cataclysm to us all".

The Mechanic's eyes gleamed. "The Space Bug is coming for us all!"

"…" Legolas froze in shock. 'The f*ck!'
