Chapter 636 I’ll Use You Against Yourself

"You're late," Brangara grinned as he noticed a golden flash high up in the sky, observing the ashen faces of Boul Brimgan and Harla Brimgan, "Had you arrived a few hours earlier, things might have turned out different."

He extended his hand, carrying a tiny, broken shell of an Empyrean Snapper filled with blood and pieces of its flesh, "Want some?"Foll0w current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

"That's a pity," He muttered after two minutes, seeing the golden flash return the way it came from.

"But," His expression turned serious as he stared at Boul Brimgan, 'This guy dared to come here after knowing that I was fighting the Cooter Clan? Does this mean he's confident of facing me when assisted by the Empyrean Snappers?'

For a moment, Brangara wanted to take advantage of the chance to kill Boul Brimgan, 'Since my eight Natures of Subtle Terrain Domination are still active, there isn't a better opportunity than this.'

"Wait!" He put on a calm tone and shouted, unleashing a shockwave that approached the duo, carrying his voice, "Let's talk."

"Maybe we can even forge a trade relationship."

'Good, they stopped.' His smile widened faintly upon seeing the golden chakram pause in the sky.

Harla Brimgan stared at Boul Brimgan, asking, "Do you have an idea of his plan?"

"Considering the speed at which he slaughtered them all, he definitely used Subtle Terrain Domination." Boul Brimgan said and stared at the Transcendent Worlds, "He has also unleashed that pillar of light for a couple of seconds. The reaction from the Transcendent Worlds confirms it."

Boul Brimgan stared at Brangara and said, "Currently, he hasn't deactivated however many Natures of Subtle Terrain Domination he had used in his fight against the Empyrean Snappers. He intends to lure us within striking range. Once we're killed, our Empire wouldn't fare well against his onslaught."

"What do we do then? Ignore him?" Harla Brimgan frowned, "Doing that would instigate him. There's no guarantee that he wouldn't come after us next. Our preparations aren't enough to fight him at present."

"It's alright." Boul Brimgan said as he observed the entire scene, focusing on every single detail present in the bowl that had formed in the Dralh Sea, "This image alone will serve us."

In the bowl were dismembered carcasses of Empyrean Snappers, the state of their severed heads pictured their mental states moments before death—one of shock, despair, unwillingness to resign themselves to fate, etc.

Their blood filled the bowl as their carcasses formed a massive pile. Seated within it, treating the bowl as his private swimming pool was the Celestial Boar, gorging upon the Empyrean Snapper flesh.

Boul Brimgan condensed a Spirit Weapon out of Rutham and turned it into an Information Slip, recording everything he felt and observed. Once there was enough footage of the Celestial Boar's eating session, the duo headed to the Brimgan Trade Wall.

"The Cooter Clan isn't based on the Dralh Sea alone." Boul Brimgan said right after the duo arrived at the Brimgan Trade Wall, "There's even more Empyrean Snappers out there. I'll give them this information."

"Carry on to the Brimgan Empire, Mother." Boul Brimgan said and brought out a golden feline, "I'll make a diplomatic visit to the other Cooter Clan branches."

It had fused with one of the pieces, serving as one of Orakha's checkpoints. It was also the one who carried all the Sumatra Gold he had stolen from Yarsha Zahara. As it lived in the Brimgan Sea, its life was the safest after it had submitted to the Brimgan Empire's rule.

No existence could target it without having to deal with the Brimgan Empire first. Immediately after it noticed the pillar of light, Orakha sensed the disturbance in its mental state through his Minor Treasure and revived next to it spontaneously.

"This is...?" He managed to spot the pillar of light for one second before it vanished, understanding what was happening, "In that direction is the Dralh Sea."

'Is he targeting the Empyrean Snappers?' His mood became solemn, 'Right now, the Mammoth Clan has gone into hiding, so Brangara doesn't know where they are. Considering his obsession with Internal Inertial Gravity and Subtle Terrain Domination, it makes sense that he's targeting the Empyrean Snappers once he's done with preparations.'

Even during his past as the Empyrean Boar King, Brangara had killed two Empyrean Snappers just to hoard their Natures. He did not intend to use them, but because they were one of the literal best among the Gold Grade Natures, he obtained two, unnecessarily antagonising the Cooter Clan.

He didn't store anymore since he already had twenty-plus Natures of Internal Inertial Gravity. That was his source of confidence. Irrespective of the threat he might face, he only needed to activate a certain number of them to deal with the problem.

Internal Inertial Gravity and Subtle Terrain Domination weren't just overpowered Natures but were also perfectly in tune with his Nature of Astral Chart and Astral World. They could be perfectly stacked to unleash even greater destructive power.

That was why he was obsessed with it. This was precisely why Raaha hid the Mammoth Clan once the Second Major Disaster was completed.

Without any Expert Gold Grade Nature in his reserve, Brangara would be subconsciously feeling an itch or even a lack of confidence. Hence, he'd be preparing to target them.

If he could find the Mammoth Clan, he would obviously target them, as he hated their existence, which was another major reason to kill Empyrean Tusks. But since no one had an idea of where the Mammoth Clan had hidden themselves, the one struck by Brangara's obsession ended up being the Cooter Clan.

His mind whirred as Orakha pieced together the details, condensed a Mystic Eater, and leapt into the Cooter-Brimgan Channel, intending to race to the Dralh Sea to observe the scene himself.

The Mystic Eater grew fins once he modified his Human Avatar accordingly, making aquatic travel feasible. He sat within it as the Mystic Eater sped faster, moving close to the floor to avoid detection from the tower forts stationed along the way.

On the second day, he sent a body to revive in Gannala's stomach biome and relayed the information, alerting her of what had happened.

On the third day, the body communicating with Gannala revived at the Mammoth Clan to inform Raaha.

Around the same time, his 1-Life Stage body that was travelling through the Cooter-Brimgan Channel arrived close to the Brimgan Trade Wall, halting abruptly upon seeing two golden flashes atop the wall. Unfortunately, it was already too late by the time he spotted them.

Gently floating in the water on his right was a golden feline. And on his left was a spinning chakram, 'Shit! If I were to be trapped here, I wouldn't be able to spy on Brangara's actions and plan countermeasures!'

"I remember you." A golden chakram hovered on the water surface as Boul Brimgan stood atop it, staring at the Mystic Eater, "Come out when I'm being nice. I know you're inside."

His expression was cold as followed by a golden flash, the Mystic Eater was diced into a dozen fragments, all while the figure of Orakha within remained perfectly unharmed, "Did you think I cannot sense my father's presence when you're blatantly dangling it before me?"
