Chapter 133: Turning The Devouring Whale Overlord Into A Puppet Guardian Beast
Chapter 133: Turning The Devouring Whale Overlord Into A Puppet Guardian Beast
Helpless, sealed in the Bottled Anger, the Devouring Whale Overlord couldn't even summon its wrath, its power restrained by Linsley's earlier actions.
It had been one of the most powerful beings in the world, a peak Level 9.8 monster, yet now, it could do nothing but witness the slow, calculated destruction of its clan.
The Overlord's mind raced. It had always believed itself a force of nature, a ruler of the ocean who harmed no one unless provoked.
For eons, it had lived in relative peace, its clan staying within the boundaries of the Devouring Whale Ocean, avoiding conflict with the world outside.
But this human... this Linsley, had invaded their world, brought ruin to their home, and enslaved its kin—all for his own benefit.
To the Overlord, Linsley was no mere human. He was a monster. Far more monstrous than the whale could ever be.
Linsley hadn't killed out of necessity; he had chosen domination, control, and manipulation. He had made this cold, calculated move not just to survive, but to thrive—and to break the will of any who dared stand against him.
The Devouring Whale Overlord, sealed and powerless, could only watch as its world crumbled.
The pain of helplessness, of being unable to protect its clan, gnawed at it far worse than the loss of its freedom. Yet even the overwhelming sorrow could not manifest as anger. That too had been taken from it.
In the silent aftermath, Linsley glanced back at the bottle in his hand, his smile returning, cold and indifferent.
"You see now, Overlord?" Linsley's voice was low but sharp. "This is the consequence of standing in my way. You've just witnessed what happens to those who defy me. Don't worry... I'll make sure you remember it well."
The Devouring Whale Overlord remained silent, unable to respond, but inside, it felt nothing but fear for the first time in its long life.
Fear—not for its life, but for the monster who had defeated it.
It became clear to Linsley that the Bottled Anger artifact, which had been used to contain the Overlord's rage, was interfering with his Seven Deadly Sins Judgment. The artifact prevented the necessary conditions for the judgment to fully activate.
"Ah, so that's why the artifact didn't work," Linsley muttered.
Without wasting time, he activated his Universal Key (Gold) talent. Its shimmering energy pulsed around him as he directed its power toward the Bottled Anger artifact, using its unique ability to unlock anything in the universe to specifically unseal the aspect that was suppressing the whale's anger.
The moment the seal was unlocked, a surge of furious energy erupted from the Devouring Whale Overlord.
The Overlord's eyes flared as it was on the verge of breaking free from its prison. But Linsley was prepared.
"Seven Deadly Sins Judgment."
With a snap of his fingers, the rule-type artifact he had crafted surged into power. The ancient laws embedded in the artifact took hold, binding the Overlord's spirit to the judgment.
The wrath that had just been unleashed, along with the other magnified sins, surged through the whale's essence, overwhelming its will.
The artifact's judgment descended, reinforcing the sin-infused madness that consumed the creature.
Linsley didn't waste a moment. While the whale was utterly overwhelmed by the judgment, he activated his Soul Contract (Purple) talent.
Violet tendrils of energy extended from his body, wrapping around the Overlord's essence, binding it to his will. The contract etched itself into the creature's very soul, leaving no room for defiance.
The Devouring Whale Overlord, once a being of unmatched power in the ocean, now stood as nothing more than a puppet—a guardian beast stripped of its autonomy, bound to Linsley's every command.
Linsley's smile returned, colder and more satisfied than before. "This is the price of defiance. If only you had listened," he muttered, before turning his gaze to the vast ocean where the rest of the Devouring Whale Clan had fallen under his control.
