Six months after Ved awakened, after he learnt that Gods are real he hadn't dared to curse any of them but right now he really wanted to.

Below him was a giant island, filled with humongous hammerhead worms, the smallest was atleast 300 metres long and it was still growing.

Four days ago this was not the case. It was only a single worm that dared to attack him when he decided to rest on this island. A mere rank 3 worm daring to attack the great Ved.

How could his pride allow that, with only a single swipe of his claw, he cut the worm into two. He thought it was over but then something strange happened.

Instead of dying, the two parts of the worm grew into two fully grown worms. Ved was pissed by this so he created strings and diced up the two worms into dozens of pieces.

It was then that he remembered the little information he learnt about these things in his past life. They could not be killed by cutting them up.

He regretted his decision almost immediately but it was too late. However that isn't the biggest issue, after a while he figured he could fry them with lightning or nuclear energy.

And it worked but they were smarter than he gave them credit for. They figured they could survive by bisecting themselves and so the race began.

Him trying to kill them fast enough and them trying to multiple faster than he can kill them and he was actually losing.

While his lightning and nuclear bombs could cover a wide area, these worms had some toxic mucus over their bodies that absorbed, not only force but his lightning and nuclear energy as well.

So killing them was harder than he would like. Right now he was floating 5 kilometres in the air above the island, they couldn't reach him from this height.

He looked at this island and it was huge, by his estimate, it was probably a few hundred kilometres large, the worms covered a small part of the island but they were spreading.

At this rate they would completely overrun the island which would effect the other denizens of this island and he felt responsible.

He didn't want to resort to this as it might cause too much demage to the island. Purple lightning ran across his body and gathered in his mouth.

After using it the first he learnt how powerful it was but it took too long to regenerate it, it took over an entire month so he was a bit reluctant to use it.

And that's considering his hearts can actually speed up his regeneration of everything, from his stamina, poison, web fluid, nuclear energy and the lightning itself.

Without four hearts it probably would've taken four times longer if not more to regenerate it.

He was just about to fire the lightning bolt when the worms got agitated and tried to run. He got smug thinking they were scared of his lightning.

Then the ground shook, he stopped just before he fired his lightning. Before the hammerhead worms could run away, something busted out of the earth below them.

It was a group of weird looking creatures. They were brown and hairless, with eight legs, four on each side of the body. Each ending in four very sharp claws.

They had no eyes or noses, their faces were nothing but large circular mouths with razor sharp needle thin teeth that spun in the mouth like a grinder.

Ved assumed that's what they use to dig and move underground so fast. These things were huge, the smallest of them was atleast 30 metres tall and the biggest reached over a hundred metres in height.

On their rear were long thin tails that ended in a sharp points like stingers. The moment the first one got close to a worm it stabbed it with it stinger.

The worn thrashed and tried to attack the creature with it hammerhead but it head bounced off the creatures rubber like body.

Amongst these creatures, some were rank 1 but even they were able to pose a threat to the worms, it seemed these things were natural predators of the hammerhead worms.

Ved sighed with relief, atleast these worms won't overrun the entire island now. He was just about to turn around and fly off but then he stopped.

He looked at the worms and wondered if this ability to replicate was a natural or awakened ability.

He wondered if it could be assimilated as a trait. He created a few strings and grabbed one of the worms, the creature that was fighting it roared in rage but be ignored it.

Then suddenly a powerful aura washed over the entire island, this was the aura of a rank 4, Ved tensed for a moment then remembered he was a rank 4 himself how.

Something came out of the ground. It was one of these creatures. It was huge, it body reached 500 metres in height, it stinger like tail danced in the air.

Then it turned it hideous face towards him. Ved expected a fight but he did not panic, it aura didn't give him any sense of danger at all or he would've felt his image stir.

Then it talked which caught him by surprise. ' Who dares bully this lord's....oh' Ved just glared at it.

At the same time.

A fleet was stationed somewhere in the Atlantic ocean. " How much longer?" Asked Vermillion to the formation experts working infront of him.

" Not much longer my lord, it will certainly be done by the end of the day" Answered the lead formation master.

Formations path was a profession that anybody could learn, you didn't need to have a specific vessel or bloodline but there were vessels and bloodlines that helped with it.

However even though technically anybody could learn formations, not everybody could. There were people with zero talent for it, even if they did learn they could never be expert.

Formations were similar to programming in the old world but much, much more complex. The middle age man was the leading formation expert in the entire current world.

He was a programmer in the old world, a very good one. When the world fell, he was lucky to survive and obtain a formations inheritance that had a vessel forging method that assisted with learning formations.

While talking to Vermilion suddenly they heard a scream. Both turned their heads to the person who screamed and the man's arm was gone.

Above him was a space rift, Vermillion smiled, ignoring the formation master who just lost an arm. " Finally, it's opened" he whispered.
