Chapter 567 Congratulations, Resha
After taunting Brangara once, Resha turned around to fly in the direction of the Brimgan Empire. He didn't know how long the Influenced Region of Hidden Eye would be away, but he didn't want to take the risk anymore.
[Leap, Don't Fly!]
Mahira Tusk's warning served as a reminder to him. And having consumed a good portion of the Hidden Eye's blood, Resha had been making preparations towards the latter. The first of this preparation was to sense its presence.
While flying in the sky to chase after Brangara, Resha was multitasking on this front, actively working on his gains from this recent fight while consuming the Boar King's Prana and Lifeforce.
He had never consumed Prana on such a level. It was pure but vast, with every unit of it containing a suffocating amount of presence. This Prana was stolen from the Boar King after Inala became the Royal Zinger. At that point in time, both the Boar King bodies were actively tanking Bolts of Transcendence, not to mention having consumed the blood of Hidden Eye, and gained a portion of data from both Hidden Eye and Attributed Region through the Bolts of Transcendence.
Their Prana had traces of them all, which was what Resha was consuming. Through it, he gained enough information to be able to detect when the Hidden Eye would return. He could feel that it was about to return in a few hours.
The only way Resha could be faster than Brangara was through flight. And the moment he loses that advantage, Brangara could easily close in on him and kill him.
Resha didn't mind dying, since he was prepared for it, but he couldn't lose the Major Treasure of Cure. Since he gathered all the Zinger Queens, he began to retreat, intending to leave beyond Brangara's sensory range.
This way, even after flight was prohibited, Resha would be able to run on the ground fast enough that it would take Brangara days to close in the gap. Considering the situation at hand with his children, Brangara wouldn't make that choice.
'Now, do I return these to Inala or the Mammoth Clan?' Resha entertained the thought for less than a second before deciding to bring them to the Mammoth Clan. The eggs created by the Zinger Queens could be useful for the Mammoth Clan to fuse with.
[That's unnecessary. The Mammoth Clan already has enough Zinger eggs.]
The Biome Bomb spoke the moment Resha changed directions, stunning him.
"What do you mean by that?" Resha frowned, "Did Inala gift the Mammoth Clan Zinger Queen eggs?"
[How else do you think he received support from the entire Mammoth Clan? Inala didn't obtain Attribute just like that. He had the entire Mammoth Clan's support. And it was a team of Empyrean Tusks who brought him to the centre in the first place!]
"Are you...serious?" Resha stared at the Biome Bomb in shock.
[Gannala has the Tertiary Nature of Cultivator. Her Secondary Nature is a Mystic Grade version of the Mammoth Ancestor's power. Using the two, she can transform all Empyrean Tusks into their human forms. Until the Major Treasure of Attribute revealed itself, the entire Mammoth Clan was chilling in the Brimgan Empire while farming Brimgan Royals.] Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
"Wait! The cause behind the disappearance of over a hundred Brimgan Royals is..." Resha shouted in alarm.
"Then, will you do nothing while the Mammoth Clan gets annihilated?" Resha grunted in anger.
"Gannala's powers allow the Mammoth Clan to move around whole hidden, strategically. Grehha created the Bone Vipers as defence while I've given enough Zinger Eggs, including ones that can birth Zinger Queens. They'll be the Mammoth Clan's offense, scouts, transports, and resource gatherers." Inala made a list, "Thanks to me, the Mammoth Clan now also possesses Mystic Mist Art and Gold Kinesis Art. It's not to mention Mutated Empyrean Zingers who have the Secondary Nature of Internal Inertial Gravity and Subtle Terrain Domination."
"All Empyrean Tusks now have a powerful Secondary Nature that gives them insane Spirit Weapon Range and can transform both their human and Empyrean Tusk forms into humanoid powerhouses." He continued to speak while observing that Resha was rendered speechless by everything he said, "And don't even mention their need for resources. As long as Blola exists, they can survive even in the worst of environments, since in their human forms, they don't need much resources for upkeeping their functions."
"The current Mammoth Clan has enough power to fight the Brimgan Empire head-on and win." Inala concluded, "If, with such overpowering strength, they are still annihilated, then they're simply not fit for survival on Sumatra."
"It's as simple as that."
"That..." Resha wanted to argue but there was nothing he could retort with. Inala bombarded him with enough facts that words failed to come out of his mouth.
"Besides, it was Gannala who told me to get lost. I'm simply respecting my daughter's wishes." Inala said, "She's old enough to know what she wants. And honestly, she's the one who's making decisions for the Mammoth Clan for the past few months as someone who'll take position as the First Empyrean Tusk upon attaining maturity."
"I'm sorry," Resha bowed his head in defeat, "I didn't know all that."
"How long will you give the same excuse?" Inala cursed in anger, "Renduldu's future sight took effect on the seven of us at the same time. You remembered your past while we remembered our lives on Earth. And even after losing the war of information time and again, you still haven't taken any active effort."
"Had you done that, you wouldn't have targeted Brangara's kids at this point in time. His evolution would have only happened around the Third Major Disaster or years after that!" Inala said in mockery, "By then, we'd have capitalised on our advantages to become strong enough to face him head-on. But what about now?"
"Brangara is a whole new person now. He'll be actively using his head atop his already overpowered set of abilities!"
"Also, you don't know this, but because of your screwup, Yennda and Grehha have been captured by Yarsha Zahara." Inala shouted, "Not just a simple capture, but she obtained the fruits being revived by Blola. Now those two will be working for our enemy, whether they like it or not."
"H-How...is that possible?" Resha stammered in fear, "How did she end up getting her hand on them?"
"It happened because you acted without informing anyone else of your change in mind. Had you gone through the plan you told the Chief, we could have avoided this disastrous situation. But no, you just had to act like a hero for Yarsha Zahara. But if you planned to do that, you could have wooed her to our side. However, what did you do?" Inala cursed, "You killed two of her kids."
"Spectacular! What a performance!" Inala clapped in mockery, "You succeeded in riling up an Yarsha Zahara armed with the memories of her past. Now, she's no longer a sheltered princess but one capable of garnering the support of countless Kingdoms and Empires for her cause."
"You half-assed as her hero, half-assed as her villain, and you half-assed in your aggression towards her. And now, the most cunning woman in all of Sumatra with Mystic Grade strength will be coming for our asses!" Inala saluted, "Only you can brew such an electrifying Elixir!"
"Congratulations for fucking us all!"
