Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle-Chapter 1036: The Set and the Unexpected Visitor

The appearance of an unusual pet created some sensation.

After all, they knew how difficult it was to raise them...

Furthermore, even if the others successfully do so, they wouldn’t be very strong or game changers.

The most they could normally do was to loot drops, find treasures, and assist in scouting.

Some soldiers leaned forward, trying to catch a better glimpse, while others instinctively stepped back after seeing the menacing slime...

Of course, they might also be unnerved by the creature’s alien-like appearance. After all, the Metal Slime was like a huge blob of mercury that pulsed faintly...

Just like that, the Metal Slime bobbed for a few moments then hopped toward Shinja, settling beside him. It pulsed faintly, as if waiting for orders.

Meanwhile, Shane’s own preparations began.

He tapped his chest, and a surge of advanced tech enveloped his body. The Genesis Bio Armor was then activated.

It was a living muscle of synthetic fibers that crawled across his skin, hardening into steel!

The transformation was terrifying to watch.

The armor latched onto his body like veins of liquid metal. Then, it emitted some energy that, before solidifying into sleek plates. His physique seemed to have expanded, and as Shane walked, his movements didn’t seem to become heavier at all.

The Genesis Bio Armor was unlike anything the Overlord Clan had seen. It was not forged by magic, but by technology so advanced it seemed alive.

"His armor... it’s growing out of him!"

"It’s like steel muscles...!"

"Is this... Rank 1’s true gear?"

"It must be the Bio-Armor I read in the chat before."

"So this is actually real..."

The crowd murmured in awe as they saw Shane’s transformation. It was certainly a sight to behold, considering they had never seen anything like that before.

Finally, Shane stood fully armored...

Then, he reached to his side, and with a flash of golden light, he equipped his weapons.

Two golden revolvers spun into his hands. At the same time, two golden blades were also summoned from his inventory...

Of course, the revolvers weren’t just beautiful... They boost the piercing capabilities of his bullets, and most importantly, it was definitely a better weapon against Lancelot, who was a sword user...

As for the blades, it was merely his way of showing that he was also good at close range... However, Shane aimed to finish this duel by only using his Revolvers.

Just like that, the Overlord Clan’s members roared in pride at Lancelot’s Blue Emperor Set.

While Shane’s army cheered wildly at the sight of the Genesis Bio Armor and his weapons...

Two leaders stood face to face, each clad in legendary gear, and were finally about to fight.

"This coin," Lancelot declared, "will decide the start. Once it touches the ground, the duel begins. No tricks, no delays. From that moment, only one of us will walk away victorious."

Shane tilted his head as he looked at their distance... It was merely 20 meters...

"Fine. Drop it. I’ll end this quickly."

Both armies held their breath. Even the wind seemed to pause.

Lancelot smiled, seeing how confident Shane was.

"Then let fate decide the moment."

He flicked the coin upward. It spun in the air, catching the light as it rose higher, higher...

Everyone followed its arc. Soon, the coin reached its peak, then began to fall.

The instant it touched the ground, the duel began...

***

In the meantime, while Shane and Lancelot were fighting in the Overlord shelter, far away in the Blue Haven Shelter, Fiona the Rat Princess stirred in alarm.

Her numerous rats scurried across the docks, the warehouses, and even the hidden tunnels beneath the port. Through their eyes and ears, she sensed something unusual, a ship was approaching.

Its silhouette could be seen through the mist, heading straight for their dockyard.

Fiona’s eyes narrowed as she knew that all of their ships were all docked and not being used just yet, as they lacked a large crew to operate one. They do have four or five crews already, but that was not enough.

"This isn’t one of ours... and Shane is too busy to deal with this right now."

Without hesitation, she opened her Clan Chat and reached out to Raze, the Vice Leader of the Clan.

[ Fiona: Raze, my rats have spotted a ship approaching the port. It’s not one of our registered vessels. I don’t know who it belongs to, but it’s coming fast. ]

Raze, who had been overseeing logistics in the Springriver Manor immediately stopped what she was doing. Her expression hardened as he listened.

[ Raze: An unknown ship? At this timing? That’s suspicious. Is there any flag that can identify them? Maybe they’re the NPC Merchant or Wandering Merchants or something? ]

At this time, Raze was already considering moving there using the portal that they had established.

Fiona nodded, her rats squeaking in agitation around her.

[ Fiona: I can’t tell just yet. They have a flag, but it doesn’t look like a pirate ship. Still, I’ve already ordered the Super Soldiers and Warden Units stationed here to guard the dockyard. They’ll block the pier and ensure the ship doesn’t dock. But if this is hostile, we may need reinforcements. ]

She could see some cannons there after all. If those cannons had the range, then they’d get bombard and that wouldn’t be something they wanted to happen to their newly built Shelter.

[ Raze: Good call. Shane can’t be disturbed right now. He’s dealing with those Overlord bastards... We’ll handle this ourselves. ]

Fiona nodded and her rats continued to relay information...

The ship was large, armored, and carried banners that none of them recognized.

However, its hull was reinforced, and faint lights flickered across its deck.

"It doesn’t look like a merchant ship," Fiona muttered. "Unless a merchant vessel normally travels with such a heavily equipped vessel."

Raze’s eyes narrowed.

After all, if it was not a merchant vessel, it could either be a scouting force... or someone testing our defenses...

At this time, she commanded the rest of the guards through her rats scattered everywhere.

"Keep the dockyard sealed. If they try to force their way in, we’ll treat them as enemies."
