I'll Surpass The MC
chapter-485

Using Blola's data in her mind as a weapon, Gannala accessed the memories of the Blola before her through physical contact, entering his mindspace to target the Transcendent Eater. Through it, she focused on Virala, trying to understand the latter's status.

Since the Virala at the Brimgan Empire had broken free of Renduldu's arrangements, it was impossible to determine his status. As long as the Mammoth Clansman Virala dies, the Mystic Path—Virala—would be completely free of the Mammoth Clan's influence.

They had no way to determine what he could do. Since he was still a Mystic Path, he was bound to be present in all Major Disasters. But now, as he was no longer a Mammoth Clansman, there was a possibility he could form his own faction or worse, join the Boar King's side.

To break free from the Mammoth Clan's influence, Virala must have stopped being a Mammoth Clansman. Before that, he had the Mystic Grade Nature of Weaponisation. He was born with the Fragment Disease. It was impossible for someone to be more of a Mammoth Clansman than Virala.

Even an Empyrean Tusk was slightly inferior to him in being a Mammoth Clansman. And when such an individual managed to escape his state as a Mammoth Clansman, it meant his evolution was absurdly dangerous.

Something that Gannala never thought was possible had now been showcased by Virala. As a result, not only was she alarmed, but also absurdly pissed. Once a part of her immune system, always a part of her immune system.

This was her nature as an Empyrean Tusk. She absolutely hated that status quo being changed.

It was why Inala hid all the details regarding his plan to become a Zinger from her. No matter how much she respected him, Gannala would instantly turn against his wishes and do everything in her power to stop him.

Considering how she had been growing by reading his mind, Gannala's thought processes were pretty similar to Inala's. Not only was she his daughter, but she grew by absorbing all his memories. So, if Gannala wanted to stop him, she had hundreds of means to do so.

It was why Inala was careful.

"The actual risk is Virala, since I can no longer control his other body that is most probably hiding in the Brimgan Empire." Gannala said, offering her conjecture, "Either he has been taken control of by the Brimgan Empire or he voluntarily defected to them or he's actively hiding there while using them. None of the possibilities bode well for us, since the risk of information leakage is extremely high."

"Hmm…" Raaha nodded and then stared at Inala, "Are you aiming for the Attribute too?"

"Obviously," Inala nodded.

"How high is your chance of success?" Raaha asked next.

"A hundred percent." Inala said, shocking Raaha and the Mammoth Chief.

"Are you being for real?" The Mammoth Chief analysed as he continued to speak, "Accounting for the variables, irrespective of your preparations, how can you guarantee your success?"

"I can, since I'll be having your full support." Inala stared at the duo and patted Gannala, "She'll be contributing to the Mammoth Clan to the extent you'll be happy to support me."

"This is a race to obtain the Major Treasure." Raaha said, "I know that you seven Mystic Path holders are able to endure fusing with a Major Treasure. So, the Mammoth Clan has decided to support you, since as long as one of you obtains it, the Major Treasure will become ours. But the extent of support you'll receive is entirely dependent on your contribution."

"You've done exceptionally well to nurture Gannala. But that still doesn't bring your contributions to the highest among the seven." The Mammoth Chief took the chance to speak, "And to get wholehearted support from us, your contribution needs to surpass the contribution of the remaining six combined."

"That should be easy." Inala smiled as he asked, "Is Grehha still here?"

"Yes," Raaha nodded, "He hasn't departed for the Brimgan Empire yet. He said there's still work to be done here. And as he isn't interested in the Attribute, he's only making preparations to obtain a Minor Treasure present in the Attributed Region."

'It seems Resha has informed the Chief everything he needs to know about the Attributed Region.' Inala thought based on the details Raaha presented in his statements, expressing complete awareness of what would happen next.

Grehha arrived at the 1st Empyrean Tusk by riding the back of a Mammoth Clansman who had transformed into a Zinger Scout. As it was the weakest of the Zinger kind, it had the smallest body and was the easiest to build to the peak of the Body Stage.

Many with the power of a zinger had similarly reached the peak of the Body Stage, making resource, personnel, and information exchange between the various Settlements easier.

"Chief, I have arrived…" Grehha bowed upon arriving at the scene, noticing that he was drawn towards the middle-aged woman standing next to Raaha. A few seconds of confusion later, he shouted in excitement, "Gannala!"

His head then swerved to observe an individual standing beside Blola at the rear of the room, "You've finally returned, Inala. How are you?"

"Bit exhausted and beat up, but other than that, I'm fine." Inala was content upon seeing Grehha. To a certain extent, he considered Grehha and Orakha his friends, since the overall mindset of the three were in similar wavelengths—

constructively greedy.

"I need your help to store some eggs." Inala then asked, "Do you have enough Prana? You'll have to make many Empyrean Incubators."

"How many are we talking?" Grehha asked.

"Around twenty thousand," Inala said, smiling wryly upon observing the stupefied faces of Raaha and the Mammoth Elder.

After a moment's shock, Grehha laughed, "Right! You became a Zinger Queen! So, how strong are the eggs?"

"Beginner Silver Grade, all of them." Inala laughed in response, "Whether they be a Scout, Captain, Commander, or King, their strength would vary in the Beginner Silver Grade range."

"Sweet!" Grehha roared in laughter and began to gather his Prana.

"There's also 105 eggs that can birth an Empyrean Zinger Queen." Inala said, "One per each Settlement. This way, we'll have an army of Empyrean Zingers protecting the herd belonging to each Settlement."

"I was waiting for you to say that." Grehha said in relief, "My Bone Vipers will offer internal defence while your Zingers will provide external defence and can even scout deep into the terrain."

"But," He asked in concern, "They won't heed our commands, right?"

"They won't, but they'll have a trading relationship with the Empyrean Zinger Queen that creates eggs for their community. So, they'll be forced to move alongside the Empyrean Tusk where their Queen stays." Inala said, "They won't be an integral part of the Mammoth Clan, but we'll be sharing similar interests."

"Then, can I make some modifications to them?" Grehha asked, "I'll be able to make them treat the Mammoth Clan as allies."

"Go ahead." Inala said and opened his mouth, spitting out a Prana Bomb that shattered to reveal the Mutated Empyrean Zinger Queen, "All those eggs were created by her. She's part of my immune system, similar to how Mammoth Clansmen are to the Empyrean Tusks."

He then pointed at Gannala, "You can start by modifying the egg that will be inherited by a Clansman part of her immune system. This way, you'll succeed. And once it works, just copy it to other eggs."

"Man, I didn't explain my power to you, but you're able to make a damn accurate prediction." Grehha sighed, smiling in response, "You're impressive, Inala."

"Hahaha! Am I?" Inala laughed casually and then stared at Raaha, "I still have more to bring out, Chief."

"Please don't be too shocked by what you're about to see next."
