Chapter 562 Changing Brangara’s Hatred List
??"What''s your thought on this?" Raaha asked Vha as he observed a crying figure of Gann being consoled by Asaeya, whose mental state wasn''t any better.
"Had Gann asked for In to stay, he would have obliged. We could have obtained the protection of the Royal Zinger. But, that would only be torture to Gann." Vha sighed, partly irritated, but mostly frustrated, "As In had exined, his behaviour currently is dominated by the Brimgan Founder''s disposition. His eyes were that of a human supremacist. Having her father look at her with such a gaze is torturous."
"I want to respect her decision. It hasn''t been easy for her either." Vha stared at Gann in pity, "She has been denied her birthright. Her dad changed from her closest individual to a stranger overnight, so it''s hard for her to ept it. Her omniscient perspective has already progressed to a good extent, but this incident has affected her badly despite that."
"Had she been any younger, she wouldn''t have been able to bear this." Vha felt anger the more she spoke, "In did her dirty."
"Worst of all, he has a solid point too. Had he not be a Royal Zinger, he wouldn''t have remained sane enough to face Brangara." She analysed, "Gann knows this too. That''s why she''s heartbroken. Because if not for this messed up situation with Brangara, In wouldn''t have felt pressured to be the Royal Zinger."
"We have denied a rtionship with In." Rhana asked Vha, "Does this make him our enemy?"
"No," Vha shook her head, "On the contrary, the Royal Zinger will remain our ally."
"What do you mean?" Asaeya stared at Vha in confusion, "How will he remain our ally?"
"What do you think is In''s purpose?" Vha addressed everyone at the scene, "He became the Royal Zinger to kill Brangara. In all our history, Sumatra has always been ruled by a single Mystic Grade Pranic Beast. But now, there are two of them. So, whether they like it or not, the two of them will be enemies. Even though Sumatra continent is iprehensibly massive, we''re situated in a corner of it."
"The Celestial Boar''s home is the Varahan Enve while the Royal Zinger''s home is the Dieng Canyon." She concluded, "Two pinnacle existences living close by, do I need to say more?"
"They''ll do everything in their power to kill each other. So in that aspect, In is indeed our ally. Moreover," She stared at Gann, "He''s a changed man now, but the fact of the matter is that you''re his daughter. That can never be changed."
"So, irrespective of how your rtionship worsens, if you''re in danger, he''lle to your rescue." Saying so, she pointed at a thumb-sized Biome Bomb on the ground, "He might not emotionally be involved with you any longer, but he''ll continue to logically help you."
"This is…" Gann stared down and observed the Biome Bomb, realising that when In was conversing with everyone, he dropped one of the two Biome Bombs in his possession.
Though hesitant, Gann extended her hand towards it, watching the Biome Bomb sprout eight strings of Prana to run across her hand like a living creature and stop at her neck. The strings of Prana joined with each other after coiling around her neck, appearing no different from a ne.
"What…is going in his mind?" She was unable to figure it out. But seeing the ne gave her strength as she got up and stared at Raaha, having gathered her bearings, "Let''s depart from Sumatra, Chief."
"Have you contacted the Mammoth Ancestor?" She asked next, "In wouldn''t have told us to do so without reason."
"I need some time for that." Raaha nodded and stared at the Transcendent World with an ivory surface, "There''s no guessing when she''ll reply."
"But staying here is dangerous." He said next and announced to everyone, "We''ll continue to head towards the border while making preparations."
"It''s for the best you stay in the biome of your Empyrean Tusk." Raahamanded Asaeya. But a momentter, he looked around in shock, "Where''s Harr?"
Flying high in the sky was In, his expression mellow aspared to before. Him behaving like he didn''t care about Gann and Asaeya was partially an act.
The Brimgan Founder''s umtions indeed affected him tremendously, so everything he expressed towards the Mammoth n wasn''t a lie. But at the end of the day, he was still In. He retained his core values, despite the influences.
After all, through the Sumatra Gold Skeleton, In turned his core values into a fixed, nonchanging fact. Therefore, he still cared about Gann and Asaeya.
The reason he acted cold towards them was to push them away from him. After all, he didn''t want Brangara to use them as hostages against him.
Resha had used that against Brangara. This meant that thetter would no longer care about the methods he used for retaliation. Forget his pride as a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast. Brangara would go for the low blow from the get-go.
From now on, In would be readily targeting the Wean n. Hence, he wanted to prevent Gann and Asaeya from being a target of Yarsha Zahara''s schemes.
Even if Yarsha Zahara finds some method to infiltrate the Mammoth n, all she would find is that the Royal Zinger doesn''t care about them. The only bond they had was the fact that Gann was his daughter.
He didn''t care about her. But, if her life was at risk, he would take action. When Yarsha Zahara finds this information, she would hesitate to target Gann, for that would mean unnecessarily facing a full-blown war with the Quip n alongside the fleeing Mammoth n.
Honestly, his detachment from the Mammoth n might not help them much in the long run, but it was better to be safe than sorry.
For the time being, In would upy the entirety of Brangara''s focus as a fellow Mystic Grade Pranic Beast. During that time, he would try to find a way in which he could transform Gann and Asaeya into being part of the Zinger Race.
As the Royal Zinger, he would have plenty of methods to protect them once that happened. Changing one''s race wasn''t impossible. As long as the necessary conditions were satisfied, it was possible.
The umtions necessary for it would be ginormous, probably outweighing the entire arsenal of resources in the Mammoth n''s possession. But the possibility existed. After all, In was already able to do it for someone.
Wittral!
As Wittral currently possessed In''s heart, preparations were already underway. The moment In produces a piece of Sumatra Gold in his heart, he could use that to fundamentally transform Wittral into a Zinger equivalent.
He was already aware of everything necessary toplete this. Hence, In was deep in thought, thinking of what he wanted to do next.
"Wait!" A voice resounded from below as In looked down and observed the figure of Harr flicker across the trees to keep pace with him.
"What happened?" Innded on the ground and watched Harr arrive at a stop before him.
"Uncle, please save my dad!" Harr pleaded, not missing a beat, "I can only request this of you. Please!"
"I''m ready to pay any price!" She kneeled on the ground, nning to keep begging until her request was epted. "He has been captured by Yarsha Zahara."
"Tell me more." In coiled a string of Prana to form a chair and motioned for Harr to take a seat, "Do you want some tea?"
"Eh? Tea?" Harr was surprised by the change in his behaviour, feeling that the In before her was somewhat familiar. Though not as familiar as before, he was around ten percent familiar, which was a lot better than the alien self he disyed to the Mammoth n, "Uncle, was everything you said before an…act?"
"Nope, only a small portion was an act," In patted her on the head casually, "Don''t worry too much and grow well, alright? Leave the problems to the adults."
Secondary Nature—Perfect Biome Domination!
Prana flowed out of his body to erect a dome that was transparent in nature. It could only be detected by one''s Prana detection means. All one would feel is a mild prickle. If they weren''t alert enough, they wouldn''t notice that they were stepping into a region that was under In''s absolute control.
Even their bodies, Prana, and memories weren''t an exception. In would be able to control them all. Depending on their strength, they could resist the effects. But yes, all they could do was resist.
In found a suitable tree and plucked its leaves. The leaves were ground into a paste, their extracts heated up and condensed into a stream of fluid through the moisture in the air. In performed everything through his Secondary Nature, brewing tea in less than ten seconds.
A piece of wood—moulded into a cup—carried the tea and flew towards Harr, "Drink up. It''ll help you rx."
Technically, he could ess Harr''s memories, since she was in his Spirit Weapon range. But the process would hurt her, since he was currently a Silver Grade Royal Zinger, so In refrained from doing so. Instead, he took a seat on a stool made from coiling his Prana string and faced Harr, "Exin everything to me."
"Yes," Harr felt rxed as she drank the tea and began to speak everything she knew.
"Dammit," In cursed at the end, "Not just Yennda, but Grehha too is in her possession?"
''The Mammoth n''s defensive means using the Bone Vipers would be leaked to her, including information rted to what I had given the Mammoth n.'' His expression became serious as In stared at Harr, "Has Orakha returned?"
"No," Harr shook her head.
"Currently, Gann has Vir''s child?" In concealed his shock, "And she was birthed by Yarsha Zahara?"
"Yes, he named her Ruvva." Harr said, "Gann was pretty shocked to find her. She''s currently using a brainwashed body of Vir to take care of Ruvva in her stomach biome."
"Yes, he doesn''t have a Spirit Container." Harr said in a hurry, "She didn''t give it to him after you extracted it."
"Alright, leave it to me." In got up and motioned Harr to return to the Mammoth n, "I''ll rescue Yennda and Grehha."
"Thank you, uncle!" Harr expressed her relief and got up, intending to return when she stopped and stared at In hesitantly, "Can I…continue calling you uncle?"
"You have every right to." In waved his hand, "But don''t reveal anything about our conversation to the others."
"Gann was crying." Harr said, "She was heartbroken."
"I know," In said and stared at the sky, "But you see, she''s Brangara''s number one target, even after what Resha did to his children. The hatred Brangara feels towards Gann is pretty much part of his gic makeup now."
"If Gann continues to express care towards me, she''ll be tortured while used as a hostage against me."
"So, I''m merely doing my duty as a father to protect her. If Gann truly behaves in a way that depicts that she doesn''t have her father''s support, then it''ll make Yarsha Zahara drop her guard while scheming, even if for a moment." He smiled wryly, "It''s a necessity for what I''m about to do next."
His smile widened subtly, "I''m going to change Brangara''s hatred ranking. Eventually, Gann won''t even be top ten on the list."
"How…are you going to do that?" Harr asked, regretting it immediately upon seeing In''s cold-hearted smile.
"How else," In waved his hand and took flight, "I''m going to fill up the list."
