Amon, The Legendary Overlord



In the north of Planet Nuvoria, in a completely secret underground location, there lay a hidden facility protected by spells and surrounded by imposing trees. This was a base intended to shelter creatures of extraordinary power, a true refuge for beings considered dangerous or rare.

However, something had gone wrong. A security failure allowed the escape of a beast that was detained there, causing deep irritation among those responsible for the place. A furious roar echoed through the area, revealing frustration and concern about the situation.

This occurred exactly one day before Amon and the girls began their journey. The news of the beast's escape spread rapidly, causing great agitation in the northern region. Powerful beings, including those of Beginner Mutant Rank, gathered to deal with the situation.

The confusion was so great that several nearby beasts were subjected to the wrath of these beings, and even a village near the secret location was devastated in their desperate search for the escaped beast.

While one of the beings, three meters tall and with a body covered in bright scales that varied between the deep tones of blue, green, and silver, declared with a bloodthirsty voice: "Even if we have to destroy all the nearby villages, we need to find experiment 0498!"

The other individuals present agreed with him, sharing the same relentless determination to locate and capture the escaped beast. The search had begun and the region was plunged into chaos and destruction, as everyone was committed to their mission, sparing no effort to achieve their goal.

Hours had passed since the search for the escaped beast began, however, so far, they had not managed to find it. However, one of the beings present, the one who had uttered determined words earlier, seemed to have found some trace of the beast. Without warning the others, he decided to go alone, driven by the desire to take all the credit if he could recapture it on his own. The temptation to monopolize the reward was irresistible, as the promise of a reward was very tempting for anyone who could bring the beast back.

"Humans?" Murmured the beast Talramoth in his beastly language, as he emerged from behind the trees, following the tracks of the beast he was looking for. His tone was aggressive and full of contempt.

Amon and the girls, who witnessed the arrival of Talramoth and heard what he murmured, became even more alert. After all, if the creature were just an irrational beast, with a low level of intelligence, they could deal with it. However, the fact that the beast was capable of speaking and demonstrating so much intelligence was not a good sign. The aggressive way he referred to them by mentioning "humans" only increased concern and indicated hostility.

Amon's unrestrained power erupted in a spectacle of light and movement. Almost instantly disappearing from his initial position, he reappeared next to Talramoth, the creature of superior intelligence.

*Crackle!*

Lightning of an unusual tone, a mix of gold and red, danced around Amon, culminating in the formation of the enhanced [Justice of the Stars]: a skill that summons the incandescent fury of the star-lightning to inflict damage that partially defies the opponent's defense. The damage inflicted is proportional to the amount of accumulated genetic energy.

Upon casting such a spell, now elevated to level two and fused with the Genetic Factor, the power behind this ability intensified to such a point that spider-web-like aspects took form in the air and on the ground, causing vibrations and fractures.

*Bang! Bang! Bang...!*

Amon, directing all his fury and strength in a single blow, fires a punch that accurately hits Talramoth's abdominal region.

The beast's eyes widen, but the reaction comes too late to avoid the impact!

A chain of gold and red light radiates from Amon's body, while his punch brutally hits Talramoth's stomach.

*BOOM!*

The ground below them breaks, forming a crack that extends for tens of meters.

A fierce energy force bursts in all directions.

When the shockwaves reach a group of girls at a considerable distance, they resort to electromagnetic armor and Battle Mode to protect themselves from the impact of the waves.

Ariel was stunned. Even though it was just the shockwaves from the impact, they had difficulty protecting themselves.

Mabel, who was also at Innate Level 2 Rank, finally understood the vastness of the power difference between her and Amon. Her wide eyes reflected surprise, while her mouth opened in shock. 'His attack must be close to the level of the Mutants...' she thought, in disbelief.

Mabel knew that, in the previous battle, Amon had not used all his power. However, upon witnessing the scene now, she understood that Amon's real capability was even more terrifying than she could have imagined.

Meanwhile, Talramoth, who was hit by Amon's full force, was caught off guard. The only thing he managed to say before being launched at a distance by the attack was: "Coward...!"

His scream echoed, soon followed by agonizing wails.

*Boom! Boom! Boom...!*

Amon's punch not only launched Talramoth nearly 200 meters away, making him collide with several trees and giant rocks before stopping but also caused an intense electrocution effect. Talramoth's body was assaulted to such an extent that, despite being a brave creature, he could not avoid the screams of pain.

Amon, in turn, shone in gold and, in the blink of an eye, reappeared in front of Talramoth, delivering a series of punches with a variety of relentless attacks.

Amon felt the danger that this was being represented. Upon detecting the latent hostility in the creature, he knew he could not afford to underestimate it. After all, even the slightest of Talramoth's attacks could be fatal for any of the girls who were with him.

Meanwhile, Talramoth's defenses were surprised and broken. Caught off guard and without time to compose himself, he soon found himself being attacked incessantly and aggressively.

Amon did not give him a break. He continued attacking without interruptions, with the sound of his blows echoing throughout the forest and causing a great commotion. Amon did not stop until he was sure that the beast's, Talramoth's, breath had ceased.

Pointing his finger in the direction of Talramoth's head, Amon activated a skill: [Multiple Circuits].

Without even a chance to defend himself, lightning circuits multiplied, converging from all sides to Talramoth's head. They hit the creature's mouth, eyes, nose, and ears, causing direct damage inside its body, and attacking the brain. This caused such intense pain that Talramoth let out silent screams, while smoke began to emerge from his orifices. And then, Talramoth's vital signs began to dissipate.

Purple-tinted lightning began to sprout from Talramoth's hands in a desperate attempt to repel Amon. However, as if Amon had anticipated such action, lightning emerged from his own hands, hitting Talramoth's outstretched arms. Then, Amon's icy eyes fixed on Talramoth before he cast the skill again: [Multiple Circuits], aiming again at the creature's head.

Talramoth's hands feel lifeless to the ground, and his body, which until then had been convulsing incessantly, began to show signs of stopping.

Amon, relentless, continued his attack. Only when he was absolutely certain that Talramoth was dead, did he leap backward, putting a safe distance between them.

"Amon!"

Only now did the girls dare to approach.

As they got closer, they felt a pang of pity for the defeated creature. However, they were not naive enough to consider that Amon had acted wrongly.

The moment Talramoth expressed his disgust and disdain referring to 'humans', was more than enough to stir their hostility against the beast. Not forgetting that humanity is, in general, hostile to most beast races existing in the universe.

Among all galaxies, it is rare for members of beast races to show themselves as neutral or allies of humans. And this Talramoth, certainly, was in neither of these two categories.

"Let's get out of here now!" The urgency in Amon's voice was palpable.

Mabel was the first to perceive the seriousness of the situation. From the moment they encountered Talramoth, she analyzed the context and developed a daring assumption.

As a carrier of an artifact with vast storage space, she promptly took a photo and recorded the current location. Then, she stored the body of the beast Talramoth and, without further ado, they began their escape in the opposite direction of where the creature had emerged.

As they ran, Maisa asked: "Amon, why did you decide to run, do you think..."

Amon's eyes were icy: "This Talramoth was in search of something." It was a conclusion he had come to: "I believe he was looking for the beast you defeated yesterday."

"W-Why?" Julia stuttered.

"Simple, it was too rare," Amon answered. "Remember, there are not many records of beasts with regenerative power at such a low power level. This is something rare even for Mutant rank beasts. Furthermore, by consuming the flesh of this beast, we obtained some benefit."

Upon hearing this, the girls reflected. It was such a surprising revelation that they were forced to agree.

Indeed, after hearing Amon's words, everything made sense. And considering that Talramoth was coming from the direction of the creature they had been tracking to try and find another of its species, this conclusion became even more plausible.

However, could it really be that simple to reach this conclusion? At what point did Amon realize all of this? If it were true, then Amon would have made this inference almost instantly?

The girls' eyes sparkled as they looked at Amon.

"What will we do now?" Ariel asked.

"I have already informed the federation about this. I have also sent a complete report of what happened," Mabel explained, "As for what they will decide, I have no idea."

"Is that why you took a picture earlier?" Ariel deduced.

"Exactly," Mabel confirmed.

This planet was under human jurisdiction. If it were a case of some sort of secret experiment, perhaps conducted by a race adversarial to humans, they could be rewarded for the discovery.

"I received a response," Mabel announced in surprise as they ran, the response had arrived faster than they expected: "The Talramoths are from an adversarial faction that detests the human race. There are records that they frequently use humans as test subjects."

Upon hearing this, a nauseating feeling overcame the girls. What if the creature they had originally eaten was human?

This thought sent chills down the girls' spines. It was terrifying and repulsive just to consider.

However, Mabel reassured them: "I conducted an analysis before we decided to eat. Don't worry, even if there is some modification, at most 1% of human genetics was used for experiments."

It was not exactly comforting, but it was certainly better than imagining that the beast they had eaten was originally human...
