Chapter 812: What Do You Think Is Too Late, My Child?


    ?


    "Hurry!" Yennda roared as he rushed through the grasnd, intending to rejoin with Gann and Harr, only to find no traces of the two.


    "They have vacated." Yahard Tusk said as he stared at the sky to notice a golden dot approaching their location, "And they are the cause."


    He observed the dot suddenly moving in a different direction and analysed the situation, patting Yennda on the shoulder, "I think I know where Gann and Harr have fled towards."


    "No, I could guess that much myself." Yennda calmed down as he red in the direction of the golden dot, ''I''m pretty sure that''s Brangara. Only he has the motive to relentlessly chase after Gann. Dammit, I shouldn''t have left Harr with her.''


    ''No, I begged Brangara the previous time to avoid harming my daughter. But there''s no guarantee that he will follow through with such a promise.'' He scowled at the thought, turned around, and sprinted in a direction parallel to the golden dot, "Let''s go,"


    "To the Khatra Desert!"


    "At Gann''s maximum speed, she should be able to sessfully be on the run..." Yahard Tusk analysed as he followed Yennda, leaping constantly to catch up to thetter, "As long as she doesn''t tire out."


    "She won''t be tired," Yennda stated in seriousness, "She''ll move about after equipping herself onto another body''s Nature slot. And when the body gets too tired, she''ll switch to a new body. She and Harr can equip themselves onto a single body, so I''m not worried."


    "I''ve trained my daughter to hold her own in situations like these. And with Gann''s resources, they''ll manage. They even have In''s Biome Bomb to rely on if things turn south." Yennda said as he gradually increased his pace, "The only problem is if something unforeseen happens. I want to reunite with them before that happens."


    "Then we need to change to a shorter route." Yahard Tusk said and took out a Decodus Tree bark from his storagentern and analysed it, speaking a few minutester, "As long as Gann continues to flee at her top speed towards Khatra Desert, we should be able to reunite with her in two days."


    "That''s good," Yennda nced in the direction of the golden dot for a moment as his eyes mutated, expanding outward the skull until each eyeball became bigger than his head. A thin strand of nerves connected it to the eye socket as it dangled out like a tentacle, lifting itself upward like a periscope to stare at the golden dot.


    "Give me a boost," Yennda said and raced across a staircase of Prana condensed by Yahard Tusk to rapidly raise his altitude. Upon reaching an altitude of five kilometres in such a fashion, the lens in his eyes morphed, allowing him to zoom onto the golden dot until he was able to stare at it in closeup, noticing the figures of Brangara and Yarsha Zahara seated on it, in front of a group of Parute Trees that were faintly rotating.


    "It''s indeed those fuckers," He grunted in anger and stared in another direction to notice a lone man running out of a forest, ''That''s one of the Empyrean Zingers in Gann''s stockpile.''


    He stared in the man''s fleeing direction, asking upon returning to the ground, "I noticed them around eighty kilometres away."


    His bloated eyes shed themselves like a cancerous outgrowth and melted in a matter of seconds. Regenerating in the eye sockets were a regr pair of eyes following that, as after a couple of seconds of adjustment, Yennda was able to see normally once again.


    "It''s in a general direction towards the Khatra Desert." Yahard Tusk nodded, "However, this path is too long and dangerous. It''ll take her at least two years even at her top speed to reach the region."


    "We can change our route once we rejoin with them." Yennda nodded and resumed his sprint, "Our only option is to rush towards the Khatra Desert. Everyone else would be there once the Third Major Disaster starts."


    "That''s our only option to escape from Brangara''s clutches."


    While the duo of Yennda and Yahard Tusk chased after Gann and Harr, a Parute Tree observed their actions from a kilometre away. Stationed fourteen kilometres away was a figure that had been observing the entire sequence of events until now. ''Good, I''ve managed to sessfully alert Yennda.''


    "Now, he''ll rush to protect the two Mystic Path inheritors." The observing individual was the second Bl who had been hiding in the Brimgan Empire for so long. He had been observing everything through his Parute Trees.


    A portion of the Brimgan Empire''s Parute Trees were under his control. Through them, he was steadily umting information in preparation for the Continental Invasion that was bound to ur after the Fourth Major Disaster.


    It was then that he noticed Brangara and Yarsha Zahara leaving the Brimgan Empire using Ha Brimgan''s Minor Treasures. He decided to follow them, steadily keeping pace with them.


    Even though he was horrible in terms of mobility, with his Transcendent Eater powers, he could sprout a Parute Tree anywhere in his line of sight, through which he could walk out a momentter.


    In this manner, Bl could cover at least twenty to thirty kilometres every few seconds depending on how great the visibility was. Using this, he stealthily followed Brangara, keeping pace until he noticed Yarsha Zahara whip up the tform of Sandy-Grey Void, to contain which Parute Trees appeared.


    ''They are using this loophole tomunicate.'' Bl immediately figured out what was happening and focused on one of the Parute Trees to gain partial control over it, this way attempting to gain insight into their topic of conversation.


    Sumatra Transcendent Eater was the one who created this Bl. However, it didn''t use any external means to do so. All it had done was selectively umte desirable characteristics of Bl to create this version, one focused on protecting Sumatra during the Continental


    Invasion.


    And of course, depending on the situation, Bl and Sumatra''s Transcendent Eater will end up on opposing sides. They all moved for the purpose of protecting Sumatra Continent. However, how they went about achieving their purpose was different.


    ''They''re targeting Gann?'' Once he figured out their target and the direction of the target, Bl travelled in that direction faster, until he came across Yennda. ''I need to alert this guy


    first.''


    He created a Parute Tree that raised suspicion in Yennda''s eyes, causing thetter to target it. Once Yennda learnt some information through it, he began to pace towards Gann and Harr.


    ''I''ve done everything in my power for the time being.'' Bl let out a sigh, hesitating for a


    moment before he trailed after Yennda, ''The Third Major Disaster is about to begin. Even if I need to focus on my growth for the moment, I ought to witness it. That way, I''ll be able to broaden my horizon.''


    "Moreover, if chance permits, I''ll be able to steal valuable data from my main body." He was aware that the Mystic Path Bl would have umted terrifying individuals to revive. As long as he enters thetter''s Spirit Weapon range and protects himself from an implosion, he''d be able to steal some of that data.


    ''That''ll prove valuable for my future.'' He thought and continued to maintain pace behind Yennda.


    Sumatra''s Transcendent Eater''s goal was to protect Sumatra Continent. It couldn''t state with


    assurance on which side was the best bet of them all. And hence, it bet on all sides. It personally assisted Brangara and Yarsha Zahara, ever since it came into contact with Yamahara and realised thetter''s potential.


    The Mystic Path Bl was naturally there to assist the Mystic Paths. Finally, it condensed all


    the information it had gathered about Bl through their mental battles to create a new Bl, whose objective was to assist the Mystic Path inheritors during the Continental


    Invasion.


    The reason the new Bl even participated now was because Gann and Harr were in


    danger.


    ...


    [Is he closing in on us?]


    [No, we''re maintaining a steady pace for the time being. We need to keep at it until we reach


    Khatra Desert!]


    [Gann, send out the Zingers and alert the Quip n. As long as we inform In in advance, he''ll be able to make some preparations to protect us at the Khatra Desert.]


    [...alright, I''ll do that.]


    As the two Empyrean Tusks discussed their situation and arrived at a consensus, Gann


    epted the proposition unwillingly. Immediately in response, she ejected her Nature Weapon form out of the Empyrean Zinger''s Nature slot and assumed human form, spitting out over a dozen bone spheres.


    Contained in each bone sphere was a Mammoth nsman that had fused with a Zinger egg. Space was twisted inside through Internal Inertial Gravity to make the Mammoth nsmen


    stay within.


    Mystic Bone Art!


    Gann morphed the spheres into aerodynamic structures that resembled fighter nes. The design was something Yennda had taught her.


    Gann created a long tube of bone andpressed the space within, allowing it to suck in a


    large amount of air. Once the air waspressed to the limit, she ced the aerodynamic bone into it and shot it into the air.


    The aerodynamic structure arced through the sky, travelling at hypersonic speeds. And thanks


    to its structure, it would glide for a significantly long distance, simr to when In wasunched by the previous Harr during the First Major Disaster.


    In a quick flurry, Gannunched a series of aerodynamic bones-with each containing a


    Mammoth nsmen with the power of a Zinger-in various directions, hoping for at least one of them to reach a Quip n outpost.


    Right afterunching them all, she reverted to Nature Weapon form, equipped herself onto


    the Empyrean Zinger''s Primary Nature slot, and changed her Natures from Weaponisation to Internal Inertial Gravity.


    The distance between them and Brangara had closed in by two kilometres by the time she


    finished thisunch.


    [Let''s hope at least one of them reaches the Quip n!]


    "Hmm?" Seated atop the golden chakram at an altitude of 18 kilometres, Brangara noticed a


    series of aerodynamic bone structures beingunched from a forest into the sky, "What are


    they?"


    Minor Treasure-Prana Bomb!


    A Tangible Nature Minor Treasure of Zinger appeared beside him and used its exceptional


    eyesight to stare at the structures, "They are structures of bone. Judging by how the air resistance is unable to hinder their momentum once they left the forest cover, a significant


    amount of Internal Inertial Gravity has been infused in each of them. They probably weigh a few tonnes each."


    "Can you see through what''s inside them?" Brangara asked next, only for the Zinger to shake


    its head. "I see, then go and find out."


    "Yarsha,"


    At his mutter, Yarsha Zahara took out one of Ha Brimgan''s Minor Treasures and


    gave it to the Zinger.


    Upon fusing with it, the Zinger assumed flight, gliding at terrifying speeds. The Minor


    Treasure was there to rapidly elevate it to an altitude of 18 kilometres, from where it could


    glide to breakneck speeds.


    Moreover, as long as the spherical tip of the Minor Treasure was on the ground and was


    hoisting it with psychokinesis, no matter what it did, the Zinger would never be considered to be in a state of flight.


    This meant it could actually fly without worries, as long as Ha Brimgan''s Minor Treasure


    was active. The sheer versatility granted by Kinesis Beyde was why Yarsha Zahara wanted


    to target it all along.


    With it, she''ll be invincible, able to achieve everything she puts her mind to.


    The Tangible Nature Minor Treasure of Zinger continued to elerate during its descent and


    maintained the same momentum while in ascent using Kinesis Beyde until it was upon the aerodynamic bone.


    It unfurled its wings to remain in steady gliding and retracted Kinesis Beyde. Following


    that, ityered a series of Prana Bombs upon the chakram forming the Kinesis Beyde and


    sent it hurling at the aerodynamic bone, bombarding it repeatedly in a series of golden shes.


    A dozen secondster, all the Prana infused into the aerodynamic bone had been absorbed, dissipating the effects of Internal Inertial Gravity, forcing it to revert to its actual size. Immediately, it began to burn up as air resistance impacted its form which grew increasingly unstable from the chakram attacks.


    The chakram soon severed through it, revealing a Mammoth nsman within who hurriedly


    assumed the form of a Zinger to glide away. However, he couldn''t escape the chakram of a Brimgan Royal as his wings were urately severed.


    Kriekk!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    The Mammoth nsman summoned all his might and unleashed a Zinger Shriek, powerful


    enough that his throat exploded in response. The contents of a Prana Bomb poured into his


    exploded throat and served to heal him as the Tangible Nature Minor Treasure of Zinger captured him.


    "You wish to alert the Quip n? That''s only if I allow you to do so." The Tangible Nature Minor Treasure of Zinger encased the Mammoth nsman in a Prana Bomb and was about to return when multiple Zinger Shrieks resounded in the region, "Dammit! Gann has released


    quite the many."


    Its eyes iled across the region and spotted a Quip n outpost more than a hundred


    kilometres away, spotting one of the aerodynamic bones heading that way. Once it lost momentum, it shattered to reveal a Mammoth nsman who assumed the form of a Zinger and glided towards the outpost, "Shit! We''re toote!"


    [What do you think is toote, my child?]


    Suddenly, an overwhelming presence pervaded its being, overwriting the Celestial Boar''s


    control over it. Immediately in response, the Tangible Nature Minor Treasure closed its eyes


    submissively, "I greet the Royal Zinger."


    [Return to the Celestial Boar and convey that you were toote to stop news from reaching the Quip n. And then, wait for an opportunity within the Astral World.]


    "Yes, I''ll do as you say." The Tangible Nature Minor Treasure of Zinger let out a shriek, "That''s the list of Tangible Natures living in the Astral World currently. Most of them are too strong for me to destroy in a sneak attack."


    [Don''t mind the rest. Only destroy the Death Knell.]


    "Yes!" Followed by a salute, it returned to Brangara, informing as it showed him the captured


    Mammoth nsman, "I only managed to capture one of them. The rest are too far to reach, and unfortunately, one of them has already reached a Quip n outpost."


    "Information about this would already have begun circting through the Quip n, huh?"


    Brangara muttered, ''But even at their fastest, their information can only travel at the speed of


    sound. They won''t have any time to prepare, and even if they did, I have enough means to handle them all.''


    "Yarsha, be ready to counter the Quip n''s swarm tactics," Brangara said and retracted the


    Tangible Nature Minor Treasure of Zinger, continuing to chase after Gann. ''First thing''s


    first, I need to get some closure on this hatred between us, Gann.''


    "...Fine," Yarsha Zahara clicked her tongue and began to make Satellites using grey sand.
