I then release a deafening roar that travels around the entire trench and even back to the crater letting everything with basic survival instincts understand that I am king.
'well, that was refreshing and quite reliving'. as I looked over the hundreds of dead leviathans and anything else I came across behind me which also consisted of several new leviathans and animals.
'looks like nothing useful though, but on the upside, the surrounding 100 miles are completely cleared so let's see my rewards for the true Leviathan quest'.

'well that's cool but I feel no difference here from either of these. though the knowledge one is probably related to the system so I have to press on it'.
as I mentally press on the only option for the knowledge section, I see hundreds of pages form of things related to this world and the history of it and how the precursors have affected it as well as giving me sections of knowledge related to earth and the precursor worlds.
'holy mother of Mary, Thank god this didn't automatically go to my head otherwise my brain might burst though I see this being very helpful'. while I carefully scan over the huge index while I click on the fauna section which then spreads into several other sections as well.
'This is both awesome and annoying, while I wish the system automatically implanted it into my head I see why it would be useful that it didn't as there are so many random facts like why would I need the information of the chemical makeup of a reefback turd'.
'though the fact that I can now see the time and year is nice though also a little frustrating'. As I look at the clock and see that it says it is currently 1459, September, 12
'so it's going to be another 800 years before the aurora crashes and Al-an only put himself into the cube recently so that's why there are so many new things that shouldn't be here from the game they just aren't extinct yet'.
'well thankful they won't go extinct now because of me letting the queen out and that also explains why she didn't seem as old as I was assuming she would be'.
'but for now, let's see what my inner world is'. I then try to silence my thoughts then feel a tug from my mind and let myself be pulled as I let myself be pulled.
I then look around and see a massive clear ocean with a ruined city on the ocean floor with several leviathans swimming around as well as everything else I have eaten as they all fight for survival or travel my domain when I then feel a sudden movement in the water and see the kelp leviathan again as he charges towards me.
'here we go again'. As I get ready to supercharge the water around me to completely evaporate the kelp leviathan but as he gets within a decent distance he suddenly stops and bows his head.
'what the hell'. I question silently as I watch carefully and see that his eyes are completely dead and soulless and just his body responding not his brain.
'I understand now, this is a world of my creation a world of a ruined city taken over by natural life again and flooded by what I have killed and eaten with everything living off basic instincts with no thoughts whatsoever with you being the perfect example'.
I then stare hard into the dead eyes of the kelp leviathan which causes it to shiver slightly and then swim away. 'and if everything is going off instinct with enough time this inner world of mine will be filled with all sorts of wildlife and with even more time evolution might even occur'.
as I think over all the different possibilities this can lead my body starts to shiver with a newfound hunger to want to eat at least one of everything even more than ever to see what this world can be filled with.
'god this is amazing I'm a ruler of my own world I might just go slightly crazy'. I then had a strike of realization as I snapped my body to the right and see a giant cliff that was a couple of miles away that's filled with a giant leviathan snacking on several ghost leviathans that appeared again seconds later.
'so that's what a gargantuan Levithan looks like I think I will name him Jörmungandr, after all, what other name would fit'. I then look deeply into the leviathan's eyes which look like foggy glass as it continues to eat ghost leviathans.
'I'm loving this way too much but what would make this even better is if I can make this like a domain expansion and just suck something in or what would be even better if I can let things out and let them loose after all they infinitely come back'.
I then start to heavily contemplate if I can treat my inner world like a domain expansion and just insta-kill something even more than I already can just for some diversity.
'you know what we will come back to that topic let's see what else I can add to here so it's time to go visit the Arctic or do some beautiful exploring beyond the trench'.
'though the library does say there are several thousand other biomes it's a lot of the same stuff or a slight change in DNA with the only things being drastically different is out in the Arctic'.
as I look over the library of knowledge for this one world and see the individual characteristics of different animals and see while there are several useful ones they also have there done sides or them being almost extinct from them having low immunity to kharaa.
'well before I head to the Arctic I need to go back to the Bone Canyon to talk to all the Leviathans'. as I realize that I have to talk to people I quickly teleport back to the grudges.
"Welcome back our king". the grudges say in their typical fashion. "yes I'm back now let's call them all back for this meeting I want to do stuff". as I finish talking the grudges look at themselves before both let out a deafening shriek that evaporates the water around them.
'wow'. as I then feel massive rushes of body heat from several different areas as the leading leviathans of every biome arrive. "You called". all the leviathans say at once though all of them with different tones.
"Our new king is now willing to talk so be quiet and listen". the grudges say with a wise tone as they look at me as if I was about to change the very structure of the world itself.
"let's get this over with so we will do this like we are barbarians, whoever believes I shouldn't be king please come forward and challenge me for my position to see if you're worthy of it". I say in a bored tone.
"yes let's get this over with". as a giant reaper about 70 meters long with its body being covered in scars and one of its pelvic fins being clearly broken in half as well as one of its eyes being glassed over in fog.
"You are both slow and old". I say to the reaper as I quickly headbutt him to the side and tumble into a rock pillar which falls onto him. "Who's next I have things to see".
as I finish speaking the eyes of the leviathans show clear shock at how easily I just shoved the reaper to the side though with the ghost leviathan that is easily the same size as the sea empresses looks at me in pity as the reaper tries and ambush me.
"you didn't think that would work did you". as I let the reaper try and bite my side and only with him ended up breaking his teeth and moving me to the side a bit.
"Now that, this is over let's move to the next part introductions after me please. I am your new king known as the devouring leviathan, and my name being Livyatan".
"I pay respect King Livyatan, I am the Ruler of the Crag and known as the Stalking Leviathan with my name being Storm". The giant Pitfall Leviathan says with respect but also tiredness.
"I also pay respect to King Livyatan, I am the ruler of the Sands and known as Sniper Leviathan with my name being Sagittarii". The Sharpshooter Leviathan says with a clear effort to act like he cares to be here.
"I hope for a long rule King Livyatan, I am the ruler of the Mushroom Forest and known as the Juggernaut Leviathan with my name being Jagras". as Jagras finishes speaking with a tone screaming I don't know you like you used to be friends then you became too awkward to be around.
"Let's get this over with please, I am the ruler of the lost river and known as the Serpent Leviathan with my name being Santana" the Great Girros says with a clear tone of wanting to go home and a show of not caring whatsoever.
"I agree with him, I am the ruler of the Blood Kelp and known as the Harvester Leviathan with my name being Lurker". the Prowler Leviathan says with a clear hint of disdain.
"I hope for your prosperity King Livyatan, I am the ruler of the mountains and known as the Savior Leviathan with my name being messiah". The Guardian Leviathan says with a caring and happy tone.
"I hope for your prosperity as well King Livyatan, I am the ruler of the floating islands and known as the Wrathful Leviathan with my name being Vex". the Grave Leviathan says with respect.
"I Believe you're tasty King Livyatan, I am the ruler of the bulb and known as the Starved Leviathan with my name being Raven". The cannibal leviathan says with clear hunger in its eyes as it looks me over.
"Don't listen to them King Livyatan, I am the ruler of the Grand Reef and known as the Electric Leviathan with my name being Galvin". The Surge Leviathan says with respect but also visible hate towards the Prowler Leviathan.
"I wish you the best King Livyatan, I am ruler of the plateaus and known as the Fiendish Leviathan with my name being tyrant". the Tumbler Leviathan says with a want to kill and fight.
"I wish to leave, I am the ruler of the boundary and known as the Phantom Leviathan with my name being Danny". The Ghost Leviathan says with the tired voice of a father.
"You win, I am the ruler of the Dunes and known as the Prideful Levithan, and my name being Cyclone". The reaper Leviathan says with a clear bud of hate and diminished pride.
"I thank you King Livyatan, I am the ruler of the lava lakes and known as the Fiery Leviathan with my name being Falkor". The Se Dragon Leviathan says with a thankful voice and immense gratitude.
"Well now that Introductions are over with it was nice to meet you all, You can also all go home now beside you Falkor and messiah as well". I say to the two leviathans giving them a confused look.
"Goodbye, our king". All the Leviathans say as they leave except Falklor and messiah. "what do you need us for our king". Falklor asks with messiah nodding her head along with what he said.
"Well, first I wanted to ask you Falkor why you were thanking me and your messiah on why you seem to be called the Savior Leviathan". I say with interest in both of them.
"well you see my king me and my family felt you quickly swim by when you saved the sea empress and were thankful you didn't kill us before you helped her". Falkor says with a nervous voice.
"well I guess that makes sense, You can leave now then Falkor and thank you for answering my question. As for you Messiah please do answer my question".
"Well, my king the reason I am the Savior Leviathan is that I am known to help weaker leviathans and even others if they are being hunted or bullied near me as even we have emotions". Messiah answers with a cautious look.
"How interesting then you are kind so you were called the savior Leviathan how fitting then, You may leave as well then too thank you for answering my question as well messiah".
'Thank god I'm done talking to people and I can probably just leave the grudges and they wouldn't care'. As I look back at the grudges and see that they are looking at me with pride.
"Thank you our king for listening to introductions you can return to what you were doing early now if you wish". The grudges say with both thankful and tired tones.
"I will be leaving then". as I then quickly teleport away back to where I was in the trench and looking around to see if it has been reoccupied by anything strange but seeing nothing.

{A/N Well I hope you guys liked the chapter and I would like to apologize for the late update as I was really busy this weekend as some of my teachers are dicks and still had last-second assignments I had to work on.
But besides all of that, I am sorry for the large amounts of dialogue and hope you liked the inner world Idea which is also a clue to future worlds and other things as well as the library of knowledge he gained from just one world and the slight twisted I added to the time period.
Though all of that aside I will put the usual below and I wish all of you a good day.
