Chapter 490 Gann: Strategic Asset


    ??"Can you ept us?" Nahak Tusk asked as hope budded in him, one that blossomed upon seeing the Empyrean Tusk form of Gann nod lightly in response.


    Gann extended her trunk and touched Nahak Tusk, seeping her influence into thetter. In a matter of minutes, Nahak Tusk observed a minor change in him, following which he felt instinctively that he was part of Gann''s immune system.


    An Empyrean Tusk epting a foreign immune system as its own wasn''t unprecedented. In Sumatra Chronicles, the baby Empyrean Tusk brought by Resha''s parents epted the 44th Settlement as its immune system.


    But a couple of conditions had to be achieved for it. First, the immune system should have no owner. Meaning, the Empyrean Tusk served by the immune system shouldn''t be alive. Second, only one immune system could be epted.


    If the Empyrean Tusk were to ept a second immune system, it would break out into a severe case of rash as both the immune systems would naturally conflict with each other, resulting in its death.


    It was why Harr wasn''t able to ept them into her fold after their Empyrean Tusk died. It was because her immune system already existed. As a result, she couldn''t ept a second immune system.


    Gann was of the same opinion originally. But only after seeing Nahak Tusk and his Settlement did she realise that she didn''t face such a restriction.


    Secondary Nature—Weaponisation!


    Weaponisation—Dance of Annihtion!


    The ultimate technique of the Mammoth n, capable of influencing both Mammoth nsmen and Empyrean Tusks. Through it, Gannprehended that if an Empyrean Tusk were to die, she could influence its immune system and convert it into her immune system.


    This way, she could ept them, since they have now be part of her immune system. As there would only be one immune system in her, she wouldn''t face any repercussions of this action.


    Originally, she was afraid that unleashing the Dance of Annihtion would cause resonation between Empyrean Tusks, leading to the entirety of the Mammoth n bing Nature Weapons. But now, she realised that she had misunderstood it. There were other uses to it, apart from an offensive aspect.


    The Dance of Annihtion, when used alongside the Nature of Weaponisation, turned the target into a Nature Weapon. This was the end result. But what did it actually do? It used Gann''s Prana to influence the target and transform them into a Nature Weapon.


    As long as Gann stops it towards the end, the target won''t be a Nature Weapon. Instead, they would change due to her influence. Using this, Gann could transform ownerless immune systems into her immune system.


    Thanks to Weaponisation, all Mammoth nsmen were naturally drawn to her. A Gold Grade Weaponisation wasn''t capable of this. Only a Mystic Grade Weaponisation could perform such a function.


    Even Vir wouldn''t have been capable, as at the end of the day, he was a Mammoth nsman with the power to be an Empyrean Tusk. Conversely, Gann was an Empyrean Tusk in the truest sense.


    As a result, the Mystic Grade Nature of Weaponisation in her hands was at its strongest. And through the resonance unleashed by the Dance of Annihtion, Gann could influence other immune systems too.


    The Mammoth nsmen from other Settlements could be influenced to the extent they will treat her as a quasi-Deity of their worship. Gann only became excited upon concluding that there was more about Weaponisation that had yet to be explored.


    This was the Mammoth Ancestor''s power, and one upgraded to the Mystic Grade at that. Somehow, the Supreme Tusk Gann''s umtions were working on condensing it all along too, a reason why she managed to gain Weaponisation at the Mystic Grade.


    ''There''s a link between Mystic grade Weaponisation and the status of being the Supreme Tusk. As long as I explore further, I''ll be able to figure it out.'' Gann immediately began to explore the possibility, thinking simrly to In while she epted the ownerless immune system as her own.


    "All hope isn''t lost." Nahak Tusk bowed alongside the Mammoth nsmen of his Settlement as he let go of his suffix of Tusk, as he was no longer a Settlement Leader. He became part of the 105th Settlement now, one with Bora Tusk as the Settlement Leader.


    As hope lit in them, they worked on integrating themselves into the 105th Settlement. As the decades span past, they would fully be a singr whole as Gann''s immune system.


    "It''s all good news!" Bora Tusk cheered as he shook hands with Nahak, epting thetter personally, weing the addition of another master as strong as him. This will further raise the strength of his Settlement.


    His gaze shot to the side as Bora Tusk noticed arge Zinger glide towards him and revert to the appearance of In. A moment''s surpriseter, Bora Tusk grabbed In and threw him into the air, "You did well, boy!"


    "You did well!"


    "I knew I wasn''t wrong about you when I noticed your desire for survival during the Mud Viper Minor Crisis." He expressed in happiness.


    "Thank you for your praise, Settlement Leader." In smiled in response and spoke once Bora Tusk stopped throwing him high up in the air, "I bring news from Gann."


    "She wants everyone to enter her biome."


    "Why?" Bora Tusk frowned, unable to understand the reason.


    "Gann has the same Tertiary Nature as the Boar King. She can switch between human and Deity forms as she wishes. And for the Mammoth n''s uing mission, she intends to travel in her human form." In exined in detail, "So, she wants everyone to enter her biome. All her biomes are significantly developed and probably exceed other Empyrean Tusks."


    "But in her human form, travel between the biomes won''t be possible. So, you''ll have to split our Mammoth n per each biome." In finished speaking, watching Bora Tusk think in response.


    Bora Tusk noticed that the Mammoth nsmen of other Empyrean Tusks were simrly retreating into the biomes of their Deities, leaving the Settlements vacant. "Why are they doing the same?"


    "Gann can present the power of the Nature of Cultivator to all Empyrean Tusks." In smirked, "The Chief has some ns regarding it."


    "Alright, give me two hours." Bora Tusk said and gathered his people, segregating them into different groups. As they had yet to settle in their Settlement, the Mammoth n part of Gann was still getting used to having a life in her biomes.


    So, Bora Tusk needed some time to assign them all. But he was already the Settlement Leader before and was ratherpetent in his job, despite his madness. Two hourster, he was done with the task and approached In to ask, "How long do we need to stay in the biomes?"


    "It won''t exceed a year." In said, "As the Empyrean Tusks require significantly fewer resources in human forms to maintain themselves, we''ll use this chance to rapidly recover resources and bring the herd to peak operating capacity."


    "You''re noting?" Bora Tusk stared at In upon seeing thetter remain in the Settlement.


    "The Chief still has work left to allot to me." In waved his hands, boding farewell.


    "Ok, I''ve finished the setup." Grehha stretched in exhaustion as he exited a biome and approached In, "All the Bone Vipers have hatched. They''ll grow and begin popting Gann''s biomes. And now that they are back on their deity, all the adults of our Settlement would be pumping out babies like a factory."


    "That is true." In nodded as he apanied Grehha to descend down a groove along Gann''s leg. Once they had left the settlement, Gann reverted to her human form, smiling brightly as she patted herself, "I finally feelplete."


    "Are you ready, Gann?" Raaha approached her, in tow with Bl and Yennda. The Mammoth Elder had returned to the biome in the 1st Empyrean Tusk''s brain, intending to record all the knowledge brought by In into the Mammoth Slip.


    All the Mammoth Elders had their work cut out for them next. They promptly got to work, having no intentions to rest unless absolutely necessary.


    After Gann emptied Vir''s biomes into her own, she extracted his Spirit Container and ced his powerless body under Bora Tusk''s custody,manding thetter to keep an eye on Vir and ensure he doesn''t die.


    With that, she was ready as Gann nodded at Raaha, approached the First Empyrean Tusk, and entered its Secondary Nature Slot to unleash the effects of the Nature of Cultivator.


    Soon, the 1st Empyrean Tusk turned into a human woman, blinking her eyes cutely as she patted her face, muttering in surprise, "Thest I had this form was as a child more than a millennium ago."
