Don't mind this. It's so that free readers can't see half the chapter when the chapter eventually becomes patron only.

I hope you enjoy!

Aqua's full shift is going to be bigger than the actual kraken

2025-08-22 21:21:18 +0000 UTCI wonder if Aqua will be the first person to reach a six digit level and be able to tell what level the bloodbone tree is or if it’s above level one million?

2025-05-30 11:24:22 +0000 UTCYeah I was thinking that might be a possibility too, that the abyss was the result of one or more of the abyssal krakens skills but I wasn’t sure since I’m assuming the abyssal orca originates from the abyss as well and if that’s the case it opens a whole can of worms.

2025-05-29 20:14:13 +0000 UTCSo uh, Ancient Monsters are this large and they have domain skills? Ya know, I think I've got a new theory... the Abyss is the Abyssal Kraken's domain. It's just that high-level and powerful that it's home is considered a wonder of the universe.

2025-05-29 19:59:57 +0000 UTCThe abyss would be a place only few could explore. Easy to get lost or hide. Same with deep space.

2025-05-29 19:27:50 +0000 UTCThe most interesting thing about the ancient monsters so far is that they all vanished apart from the one that can’t move. I mean even the abyssal kraken could be considered under the same circumstances since the alliance knows nothing about it and I’m assuming it could leave the abyss if it wanted too.

2025-05-29 19:22:07 +0000 UTCThank you for the art. Very impressive. Enjoy your day off.

2025-05-29 18:14:55 +0000 UTCOr the abyssal kraken ate it! lol

2025-05-29 17:59:57 +0000 UTCWhat cuddly size. The Orca seems the most intimidating. Namely because it looks a lot more mobile than the other ones. Good thing there doesn't seem to be an Abyssal Leviathan. I think the Leviathan went extinct because the ecosystem could not support it rather than a lack of capabilities.

2025-05-29 17:58:31 +0000 UTCWell not all of them are that size. The Voidwalker for example is the size of a human hand. Just a little fairy.

2025-05-29 17:27:34 +0000 UTCThe ancient monsters must have really good stealth skills if they can hide when they are that size!
Aeonstorm
2025-05-29 17:25:04 +0000 UTCThe Abyssal Kraken is far larger than the rest of them.
WolfShine
2025-05-29 17:21:43 +0000 UTCDamn are they big, so is the Abyss Kraken the size of a Gas Planet (Jupiter) or a Red Star, or maybe a Yellow Star like our sun?
