Chapter 612 Creation of Weaponisation
Weaponisation was a complex power to use, since it required the user to satisfy a lot of conditions before their Prana could influence the target and transform them into a Nature Weapon.
Ever since Inala became the Royal Zinger and left the Mammoth Clan, though Gannala was angry about the fact, she could also perceive the logical reason behind his actions. Hence, instead of passively going about with life, she decided to become an active player.
For that, she had to take control of the Mammoth Clan completely. Only then will they move in accordance with her will and survive against the Celestial Boar's onslaught. Without her taking the helm, the Mammoth Clan's annihilation was guaranteed.
But to be the Mammoth Clan Chief, she needed to satisfy some conditions. Being able to converse with the Mammoth Ancestor was one of them. For that, she should be able to access the fourth phase of Mystic Bone Art, which she could do, thanks to accessing Inala's memories of the same.
With that as a catalyst, Gannala unlocked the fourth phase even before attaining maturity, allowing her to communicate with the Mammoth Ancestor if necessary.
Mystic Bone Art was created based on the Empyrean Tusks. In essence, all Empyrean Tusks were able to use it fully, though it wasn't necessary for them. But they weren't able to communicate with the Mammoth Ancestor.
Only after unlocking the fourth phase did Gannala understand the reason the other Empyrean Tusks weren't able to communicate with the Mammoth Ancestor. It was because the Mammoth Ancestor wasn't an Empyrean Tusk but a Mammoth Clansman.
By essence, she was a Clansman. So, only Mammoth Clansmen who had unlocked the fourth phase were able to communicate with her. Generally, only after a Mammoth Clansman reaches the 10-Life Stage would the fourth phase become unlocked naturally.
To unlock it earlier, they'd have to use methods similar to Resha or Inala.
Thanks to the Tertiary Nature of Cultivator, Gannala was both a Pranic Beast and a Mammoth Clansman. Hence, she could communicate with the Mammoth Ancestor.
Second was strength. Gannala was strong, but she wasn't yet at a level capable of challenging Raaha. Hence, she made a plan regarding it. Through Orakha, she'll neutralise Raaha's power. Once Raaha becomes powerless, her authority will naturally increase, since she's able to communicate with the Mammoth Ancestor.
She controlled five Mystic Paths and she herself was a Mystic Path inheritor. Moreover, the child between Orakha and Maroppa would be a Mammoth Clansman part of her Settlement.
Her immune system was already the strongest in the Mammoth Clan. Ganala herself wasn't planning to stay still either. She intended to reach the 2-Life Stage as soon as possible, which was why she arrived at the Zahara Kingdom on her own.
The Wean Clansmen were all at the Gold Grade, having a maturity ranging between two to eight years depending on the concentration of their Empyrean Boar gene. The higher the concentration, the closer their maturity speed resembled an Empyrean Boar's.
The Supreme Tusk Gannala was born through Brangara's blood as he consumed his entire race of Empyrean Boars. They had an ill-fated relationship.
Brangara became the Empyrean Boar King after consuming a lot of Mammoth Clansman. Similarly, the Supreme Tusk Gannala came about by consuming Empyrean Boars.
Conversely, her birthplace, the Gaja Enclave, was one of the first regions to be destroyed by the Mudroppers and made a part of the Sandy Grey Void. In her desire to reclaim her home, Mahira Tusk developed her second power, which was the Dance of Restoration.
The Dance of Annihilation allows her to transform her target into a Nature Weapon from afar. Upon equipping the Nature Weapon, she then uses the Dance of Recovery to heal the region from the effects unleashed by the target.
The Gaja Enclave was turned into the Sandy-Grey Void by the Mudroppers. After equipping a Mudropper's Nature Weapon in her Tertiary Nature slot, Mahira Tusk used the Dance of Recovery to recover Gaja Enclave, erasing the Sandy Grey Void that was there.
But of course, by the time she managed to create the Dance of Recovery, too much time had passed, which was why the Gaja Enclave failed to return to its original condition. To date, it remained a barren region where only a small population of Iron Grade Pranic Beasts could survive.
Back in the day, it was where the predecessors of the Empyrean Tusks lived in large numbers.
The more Gannala researched the Dance of Annihilation, the more she understood Mahira Tusk's thoughts. It was why she became assured that Mahira Tusk had left behind another inheritance at the Gaja Enclave, the birthplace of the Mammoth Clan.
After venturing out alone, Gannala arrived at the Gaja Enclave and inherited the Dance of Recovery. Following that, she entered the Zahara Kingdom.
The Mammoth Clan currently had settled in a place underneath a forest near the Brimgan Empire—which was home to the Enrinos.
They had erased all traces to ensure no one would have any information about the Mammoth Clan's actions. They had positioned themselves in an abundant region in the blessed land and were relying upon Blola to obtain as much resources as they needed.
Using that, they were stealthily developing, focusing on raising their Bone Viper population and also working on nurturing Mammoth Clansmen with Gold Grade strength. In human forms, the Empyrean Tusks didn't need much resources to upkeep their functions.
Hence, they could afford to nurture Mammoth Clansmen with Gold Grade strength. While they were focusing on that, Gannala exited the place to head to the Gaja Enclave.
Now, she intended to gather information regarding the Wean Clan and observe how many Free Humans they were getting as their spouses. Based on that, she'll be able to calculate when the population of the Wean Clan will grow big enough for her to target.
Moreover, there was a reason she was targeting Raaha and intended to give Orakha the power of the Gold Empyrean Tentacle first. It was due to a memory that was a part of her inheritance, originating from Renduldu himself.
When Renduldu consumed the Silver Empyrean Tentacle, he obtained its Nature as his Secondary Nature. But even after that, he remained an Iron Empyrean Tentacle. Basically, he had to endure the influence of a Silver Grade Nature, which messed with his mind.
Iron Grade Pranic Beasts didn't have sentience, so enduring the influence of a powerful Nature was impossible. And when he consumed the Gold Empyrean Tentacle, he went insane. As his mind shattered, Mahira Tusk was able to fully influence his mind.
And by the time his mind started to heal as the three Natures harmonised and allowed him to become a Mystic Empyrean Tentacle, Renduldu had fully become Mahira Tusk's pet. 'At that decisive moment, Orakha's mind will become weaker. That's when I'll faintly influence him so that he develops affection for the Mammoth Clan.'
That was merely one of her objectives. She had a bigger goal to attain through Orakha.
