Chapter 96: Ruler Of The Storm (2/2)

Granted, the storinal as Aldrich could only raise several hundred jellyfish where before the original storh to be a formidable threat

The rest of the stor some semblance of calrant Haven's defenders abolts over and over again, not tofreed from the storm's tech disruption field

It would also draw ood

Aldrich had enough power that he now calculated it was about ti

As after all, he could not hide in the shadows forever But he could not just ee with his odd powers randoh to hold his own, strong enough to anizations of the AA and the Panopticon completely beholden to hianizations and the govern a disaster like this, especially if the people of Haven recognized him as their savior

In fact, the AA was officially forced to recognize hi thee he needed in negotiating how independently he could operate, for he had no intention of folding hi hero fra his life on the line all for a shtty hero's license to try and have even a tiny semblance of freedom to do what he wanted

That hen he eak, when that was all he could get

Aldrich floated doards, through his new personal storreen cloud ement

Beneath the clouds, he saw variants huddled under the storm for defensive cover

They now stared up at Aldrich in co fish Sea serpents All familiar foes

But as different here was that there were hundreds upon hundreds of theiant mantas used for troop transport also rested here where it was safest, where the storm could strike down any ene force

The heart that gathered under the eye of the storm which, just moments before, had been the safest haven for theer the very center of safety for them, no, this was the terrible eye of a natural disaster that would ruin theone," said Aldrich as he waved his hand across in disement, and indeed, with the force of a storm, of a natural disaster at his beckon and call, it truly did seehteous fury

The green stor shot down in a rain of heavenly fire, each great bolt blasting apart entire groups of variants, blowing apart their bodies into charred chunks

Whenever a variant was struck by lightning, their bodies acted as a conduit for the lightning to arc further until green electricity bolts surged everywhere, annihilating hundreds of variants all in the span of thirty seconds

Thebolts assailed their backs, blowing out seared chunks froed to sustain flight

And in the center of this carnage, of this judgeht of the heavens themselves, there was Aldrich, his horrible for in the sky with outstretched draconic wings as countless burnt body parts and corpses fell down all around him

All the while, experience constantly flowed into Aldrich from this massacre of enormous scale

Aldrich knew this was inevitable, but he began to feel an issue with harvesting enough experience to level up now Even with the hundreds, no, a thousand plus variants killed, he only got enough experience to level up once now that his EXP requireher

At this rate, past level 60, it would take Aldrich wiping out entire variant ecosystems just to scrape up a few levels This was partly another reason why Aldrich needed to h

At a certain point, the sheer amount of experience he needed est variant nests to level up, and those were all closely overnments, the AA, and the Panopticon

He distributed his stat points and looked to the next step of clearing out Haven
