Primordial Expanse: I have the Strongest Talent!

68  Divine beast

There's a few pieces of information that only few Awakened knew.

The existence of beast classification was one of them.

Nothing could have prepared humans for the arrival of the Primordial Expanse. Society had practically collapsed when it first came about.

But it was the arrival of Awakened that settled everything and brought order back to the Federation.

However in the Primordial Expanse, things were a little different.

Alongside the conventional F, E, D etc. ranking system, there was another set of classification for beasts.

Within each rank, each beast had another classification.

In ascending order, it goes from:

Ordinary Beasts

Mutant Beasts

Variant Beasts

King Beasts

Ancient Beasts

Divine Beasts

The rank of a beast didn't matter when the classification of beasts was considered.

There could be an F rank Divine beast, or there could be S rank Ordinary beasts.

What mattered was that higher classification beasts were much, much stronger than other beasts at their rank.

Therefore it was perfectly normal that Professor Will and the Examiners were panicking so much with the intervention of an E+ rank Divine beast.

Such a beast could easily wipe out every applicant on the planet and escape back to the Primordial Expanse before they could intervene.

In front of the white tiger, Alex wasn't much better than an ant.

He was too shocked to even attempt an attack on the beast. Mira was the same.

Instead they both turned around in an attempt to escape, but when they did so they stopped suddenly in their tracks.

Hundreds of smaller beasts, led by a few larger ones at the forefront held a staredown with the white tiger.

These beasts were in Alex and Mira's path of escape.

Alex gritted his teeth, grabbing Mira before he made a dash in the opposite direction.

He ran directly towards the towering white tiger instead!

Thankfully, the huge beast seemed too preoccupied with the staredown with the horde of beasts than just two puny humans.

"No shit we found no beasts! They're all right here!" Alex cursed bitterly.

Mira shared his resentment, but still felt chills down her spine when she moved her gaze over the mountainous white tiger.

However they once again encountered another predicament. Behind the white tiger, another horde of beasts stood.

In fact, when he focused more, the entire field was surrounded by thousands of beasts of all different types.

They were surrounded and had already lost the chance to escape. The horde of beasts were about to arrive and they had nowhere to hide in the wide open field.

Suddenly, Alex looked towards to white tiger.

Although it was faced with thousands of beasts at the same rank as itself, it still stood steady.

Alex even weirdly felt that it didn't even seem threatened…

"Fuck it!" Instead of risking it and hoping the beast horde wouldn't attack them, they instead made a run for it towards the white tiger.

They continued to run towards the white tiger, which had not noticed them.

However some nearby beasts had, and made chase after them.

Birds, mammals etc. All after Alex and Mira with a greedy and ferocious look in their eyes.

But just as the beasts were within biting distance of the duo, the white tiger swiped its paw.

Over half the beasts that had been chasing the duo had been killed with just that swipe.

The remaining half halted their chase and hesitated, considering whether they should retreat or continue going after the tasty looking prey.

But before they could make their choice, the rest of the horde made their move.

The thousands of beasts all came roaring in towards the white tiger at once.

Alex and Mira took the opportunity to cling onto the tiger's fur, hoping that it didn't notice them.

They got the feeling the tiger wasn't going to be on the losing end of this battle…

And it seemed like their gut feeling was right on point.

The white tiger did not even take the thousands of beasts seriously. In its eyes, even the biggest beasts attacking it could just be considered a snack.

The angry horde of beasts were point blank with the tiger and started their attack. However it was like a bunch of pebbles trying to take down a mountain.

Not even the fiercest looking beasts left a scratch.

It could not even be called an attack.

It was just a one sided slaughter, a free meal for the tiger. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The huge tiger killed dozens with each swipe, sometimes using its huge maw to directly chomp down a few beasts.

After just a few seconds, the once barren field had become a red lake.

But it was as if the horde were enchanted. The beasts just never stopped charging, which was a futile effort in front of the white tiger.

"What the hell am I seeing…" Alex was speechless.

Only once before had he ever seen such a one sided slaughter.

But not even that could compare with what was going on before him.

The white tiger just swiped, occasionally fed on some beasts, and the thousands large beast horde had all died within the hour.

After spending some time chomping down on the remains of some of the beasts, the huge white tiger lost interest.

Instead, it turned its attention to the two little ants hanging off the hairs on its tail.

Its eyes met Alex and Mira's.

"Evacuate all the applicants! Send down all available shuttles!"

A few examiners shouted orders across the chaotic ship.

"Thankfully that beast horde showed up, otherwise it would be a lake of human blood down there." The burly man spoke, his nerves still evident.

"It's a shame about those poor kids though, they showed some real potential." Another examiner stated, referring to Alex and Mira.

"Yeah, they were too unlucky to run into the Divine beast. Hmmff, if only the federation wasn't so paranoid in sharing information. We could have prevented this if we just disclosed the classification of beasts beforehand." The burly man expressed his displeasure.

"Shut up already! Look, what's going on?" Professor Will silenced the room and pointed towards the screen.

"How the hell are these kids always so lucky??"
