Chapter 495 Scheming in the Brimgan Empire


    ??Arlfarah Mansion!


    Seated in her study, busy with research was Amita Brimgan, havingpletely attuned to life at the Brimgan Empire. She was researching the Attributed Region based on the scout report, having be by far the most knowledgeable person in the Brimgan Empire about the region.


    She didn''t have just the scout reports but also knowledge from Sumatra Chronicles, using which she was able to make conclusions that other researchers were unable to do. Her position as Director of the Bureau of Attribute Acquisition had be unshakable thanks to her exceeding contribution.


    She had two tasks: Sumatra Gold Skeleton and preparations to summon a Bolt of Transcendence. Amita Brimgan hadpleted both and was presently gathering information to ensure she was prepared no matter how much the situation changed during the race.


    While she was making up a report, the floor beside her parted open, revealing a metre-wide hole. Her figure didn''t flinch in the slightest in response. Instead, her eyes darted towards the tunnel entrance, maintaining her calm, ''That''s the power of a Shifting Ant.''


    ''Vir!'' Two strings of Prana manifested above the tunnel entrance while two slithered to the opposite wall, intending to pull her away to safety. Instantly, she had taken action as the two strings of Prana facing the tunnel entrance turned ivory.


    Royalty—Life Bomb!


    Mystic Mist Art—Tangible Life Bomb!


    This was a skill that fused her Tertiary Nature of Tangible Psychokinesis with her Life Bomb, creating semi-solid strings of Prana capable of absorbing the Lifeforce of the target. And then, theytched onto the target that jumped out of the tunnel.


    Everything happened in the fraction of a second, from the tunnel entrance forming to the two stringstching onto the person that leapt out of it.


    "Wait! Wait! Wait! It''s me!" An orb fell out of the body of the figure constricted by the two ivory strings and reverted to Gann''s form.


    "Prove it." Amita Brimgan said coldly as an ivory string shot towards Gann. The body of the figure caught by the two ivory strings began to wither as the Lifeforce in it was sucked away.


    "Harm me, then," Gann said and didn''t resist the attack, flinching as an ivory stringtched onto her for a second before retreating in a hurry.


    "Ugh! You''re indeed Gann." Amita Brimgan felt a searing headache as her male form''s influence almost exploded at that moment when she harmed Gann. That would only happen to Gann and not anyone acting as her.


    She had plenty of methods to confirm Gann''s identity but this was the fastest and surest method. And now that she had made the confirmation, Amita threw a vial towards Gann, "I barely stole a few days of your lifespan. Consume this, and you''ll recover the lost amount."


    "Okay," Gann drank the vial and spoke once she observed the recovery in lifeforce, habituated with the process, "I''vee to tell you a few things."


    Saying so, she took out a cylindrical container and ced it before Amita, "This Water Slip contains all the necessary information."


    "That''s a giant Water Slip. Just how much information is stored in here?" Amita muttered as she downed the contents, beginning to digest the data within as she understood the attack n, when they''d meet up, In''s subsequent ns until the Attribute revealed itself, etc.


    Once she digested everything, Amita Brimgan pulled out a drawer beside her and consumed an Elixir stored there. And as she digested it, she began to create Life Bombs inrge numbers, asking, "Is Grehha with you?"


    "Yeah," Gann nodded, "He''s at another location now."


    "Alright, take care to not touch them," Amita said in warning.


    "I know, Dad." Gann rolled her eyes.


    "I''m not your Dad." Amita snorted, "Do I look like one?"


    "Call me Mom, if nothing else." She stared at the time and stopped creating Life Bombs, "I have to head out for work in a few minutes. Visit me at the same time tomorrow. We have plenty of time, so I''ll create as many Life Bombs as you need."


    "Just drop them here." Gann said and pointed at the tunnel she had jumped out from, "I have modified the gravity within. The Life Bombs would reach the destination where Grehha will encase them in his Empyrean Incubator."


    "Got it," Saying so, Amita dropped the pile of Life Bombs into the tunnel, patting her hands once the work was done. She stared at Gann and waved her hands, "Leave now, shoo."


    "Okay, Mom." Gann giggled and leaped into the tunnel, closing the entrance behind her. There were no traces of her visit. In the Brimgan Empire, only Wittral and Yarsha Zahara would be able to notice the existence of a tunnel in the region after it had closed up.


    Wittral was on Amita''s side while Yarsha Zahara was still trapped at the Varahan Mansion. Having changed into an expensive gown, Amita boarded a carriage and headed to an institution, smirking subtly, ''All preparations areplete. That''s a relief.''


    ''To think the entire herd of Empyrean Tusks are on our side. Seems my male form has been busy.'' Recalling Gann''s figure who used Weaponisation, Amita was able to understand what had happened, ''That''s a victory against Vir. Good, good!''


    "Did something good happen?" Dhya asked from the side upon seeing Amita''s smile.


    "My preparations are almost done." Amita said cheerfully, thinking, ''Now, there''s the perfect method to erase the risk of keeping Wittral beside me.''


    At the same time, in the room of arge house, Life Bombs spilled out from the tunnel exit positioned there. Immediately in response, Grehha activated his Tertiary Nature and condensed Empyrean Incubators in a hurry, enveloping the Life Bombs with them.


    He moved the Empyrean Incubators to the side using psychokinesis and ced them in a pile, continuing to store Life Bombs in them until they stopped pouring out. Upon seeing Gann jump out, he asked in confusion, "That''s it?"


    He stared at the pile, "There''s barely a hundred of them."


    "We''ll be getting such a pile daily. So, stopining." Gann shrugged, "Dad''s second body is in hiding here. He only has a limited amount of Prana, so he''s unable to spam Life Bombs."


    "Well, I''m notining." Grehha didn''t say anything else and proceeded to inspect the condition of the Empyrean Incubators.


    Seated in the living room were a bunch of Empyrean Tusks, treating the ce as their own. After all, the owners were merely influenced husks now, controlled by Gann to keep up appearances with the neighbours, work, etc.


    She was busy, having to act with the multiple identities to ensure the Brimgan Empire didn''t suspect anything. As long as no Life-Stage cultivator enters this house and detects any waves of Prana emitted by the Empyrean Tusks, the identities of all Empyrean Tusks will remain hidden.


    They will stay put while Gann will move around making schemes. If there was any level of risk, she''d ask Asaeya to apany her. That was more than enough to face a Brimgan Empire Prince and flee to safety without any issues.


    "Okay, this is perfect." Gann grabbed a Life Bomb and hatched an Empyrean Zinger King using her Prana. This was an Empyrean Zinger King that had the Secondary Nature of Subtle Terrain Domination, ''This will be perfect to erase the minimal traces left behind by my tunnels.''


    With that thought in mind, she upied the Empyrean Zinger King''s Tertiary Nature slot and unleashed her influence, converting thetter''s mind into a mirror of her own. With that, she could dexterously move this body without issues.


    "Encase this too," Gann said and watched Grehha encase the Empyrean Zinger King''s body in an Empyrean Incubator. This was just in preparation to store it in her biome. After all, when encased in the Empyrean Incubator, Gann was able to store these foreign bodies without issues.


    The bodies would be perfectly preserved, and as long as they remained in contact with the surface in her biomes, she could supply Prana to their bodies through the Empyrean Incubator, allowing her to maintain the physical strength and function of the bodies.


    "Dad, I''m ready." Gann turned to face the figure of In whose stomach was on the verge of bursting, having been force-fed too much food.


    "Okay, I''ming," In said and got up, only to be grabbed by Vha and forced back into his seat.


    "Not until you finish everything on the te," Vha said, ignoring In who seemed to be on the verge of crying. "Look at how thin you are. You need to eat lots if you want to grow as big as cutie Grehha."


    Thirty minutester, at a certain house in Fentan City, Maroppa had returned from work and slumped on a sofa in the living room. She was just about to make herself a drink when a tunnel entrance appeared on the floor and jutting out of it was In''s head.


    The moment she stared at In''s face, Maroppa eximed, "Oh…"


    "W-What are you up to now, you madman?" She then fainted from shock.
