Transcendent World—Tentacles of Tusk!

This was a Transcendent World created through the combined might of Mahira Tusk, Renduldu, Undrakha, and ten Transcendents from the Mammoth Clan. Of the ten, two were Silver Transcendents, named Krula Tusk and Neya Tusk respectively.

The remaining eight were Iron Transcendents, named Paya, Hela, Khoy, Henaya, Khamikaya, Turay, Bahayaya, and Rahamila.

Originally, it was a minor piece of landmass condensed by Mahira Tusk. As she continued to develop it, other Mammoth Clan Transcendents arrived, contributing to its development. And finally, when Renduldu and Undrakha appeared, the Transcendent World was completed, transforming into a genuine fortress against the Cosmic Beings.

All Transcendent Worlds were created by the Transcendents, with their sole function being to camp at the nodes and fight against the Cosmic Beings. This was done to protect the Continent they came from.

Of course, it was impossible for a single Transcendent World to face a Cosmic Being. Hence, multiple Transcendent Worlds shared the responsibility, moving about as a collective unit. This meant that they typically protected at least a few Continents.

The Transcendent World—Tentacles of Tusk—sported a massive shade of ivory, covering about sixty percent of the world, with the rest being green in colour, originating from Renduldu. Swirling patterns of thunderstorm clouds formed shapes resembling an eye in many locations of the Transcendent World.

Coiled around each eye was a green tentacle, leaving its tendril in the centre of the eye to behave like a scaly pupil. Gigantic mountains littered the planet, causing it to resemble a porcupine when viewed from above.

But due to the distance between it and the Sumatra Continent, to the denizens living there, this Transcendent World only appeared as a greenish-ivory floating mass of gas. But due to its distinctive ivory colour, the Mammoth Clan was able to recognise this Transcendent World, indicating it as the place where the Mammoth Ancestor dwelled.

Seated atop the largest spiky mountain that resembled a tusk was Mahira Tusk, her expression fearsome as she grunted and made throwing actions with her hand. In response to her action, a spiky mountain in the vicinity elongated to a length a million times its original to stab into the Cosmic Being.

The tip shattered at the impact, being vaporised due to the intense heat contained within the Cosmic Being. That wasn't all. A corrosive power of depravity spread across the spiky mountain, suddenly causing millions of twinkling eyes to form, with each emanating light like stars in the night sky.

The moment this happened, Mahira Tusk severed the spiky mountain at its root and sent it hurling towards the Cosmic Being. As the spiky mountain—now filled with twinkling eyes—approached the Cosmic Being, it exploded, unleashing energy waves that slammed into the target and faintly moved it away from the node.

"Oh, Inala obtained the Attribute." There was a nonchalant voice from beside her as a furball the size of a football rolled to her feet. It had a pair of tentacles acting as the eyes to stare at Mahira Tusk. Another tentacle formed on its face to morph into a mouth that moved and spoke, "There's…a bit of…changes here."

"Look at that biggie." Mahira Tusk grabbed the furball and pointed at the Cosmic Being, "Is that a cutie?"

"Obviously not," The furball shook its body left and right.

"Right?" She complained and pinched the furball, "So why are you distracting me? All you've been doing lately is watch the proceeds on Sumatra and slack off."

"A lot of interesting things have been happening there. So I couldn't help myself." The furball coughed awkwardly before continuing, "So…what I wanted to say is…"

"Out with it," Mahira Tusk said and sent another spiky mountain hurling at the Cosmic Being, watching the latter be corrupted in a matter of seconds before she had to let go of it and explode it to prevent her Transcendent World from being corrupted. "I don't have the freedom of time to talk patiently as usual."

"Inala used 24 Bolts of Transcendence to break free from the Mammoth Clan and became a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast." The furball said, flinching upon seeing Mahira Tusk swerve her head in its direction, her expression fierce, "He's now a Royal Zinger."

"Krula, Neya, Undrakha!" Mahira Tusk called as two Silver Transcendents and one Gold Transcendent appeared before her, kneeling in respect as she spoke, "You three face the Cosmic Being for a couple of minutes. Something at the Mammoth Clan needs my attention."

"Anything serious?" Undrakha asked as he lifted his head.

"I'll fill you in the details later." Mahira Tusk waved her hand and urged the trio to take action, "Attack for the time being."

Once the trio began to attack the Cosmic Being, Mahira Tusk turned around to stare into the tunnel at the bottom of which was the Continent of Sumatra. Her gaze focused as she was able to observe the fight between Inala and the Boar King in the Attributed Region, "Royal Zinger?"

"He managed to create a new race." She thought as cracks formed across her eyes, causing a terrifying storm of energy, her voice cold as she muttered, "He's no longer a Mammoth Clansman."

"It's not just that," The furball complained, "He's also escaped from the Transcendent Eater's records. The only thing that can affect his thought process is the Mystic Path. But as long as he maintains his Mystic Grade form, he could resist that too."

"Continue," Mahira Tusk said as she observed the fight.

"Yes," The furball nodded and explained further, "As a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast, he could have children. Even though his second child won't inherit the Indigo Mystic Path, its existence alone would halve the rate at which the Indigo Mystic Path gets filled up in Gannala's mind space."

"This would continue to drop as Inala has more children." The furball concluded, "I wasn't much concerned when Virala broke free from the Mammoth Clan's clutches, since he's only at the Gold Grade. He's unable to resist the functions of the Violet Mystic Path."

"So, Inala's state is concerning for us." Mahira Tusk said and stared at Sumatra Continent, condensing power in her hand in an effort to eliminate Inala promptly. But in response to her action, a barrier of energy appeared around Sumatra Continent.

The 392 tendrils along its borders shot up in alarm, preparing to attack her, condensing a level of power vastly superior to her.

"Sumatra is still guarded against me." Mahira Tusk clicked her tongue in anger.

"You pissed it off when you severely wounded Hidden Eye. It still bears a grudge, since without the assistance of Hidden Eye, Sumatra would become more prone to attacks from the residual energy of the Cosmic Beings." The furball commented, only to have its cheeks fiercely pulled by Mahira Tusk.

"If you weren't this cute, I would have beaten you up long ago for your foul mouth." Mahira Tusk grumbled before shouting exasperatingly towards Sumatra Continent, "I won't do anything, good grief! Chill out, won't you?"

She remained in a standoff against Sumatra Continent upon seeing the latter was still in an alarmed position.

"You should retract the energy in your fist before asking Sumatra to calm down, Aunty." The furball said when it was reflexively kicked by Mahira Tusk.

"How dare you call me that? Call me mom…oh shit!" Mahira Tusk exclaimed in fright as she had kicked the furball towards the Cosmic Being by mistake, "My cutie!"

A bunch of sparkling stars littered across the Cosmic Being's body tilted to stare at the furball approaching it. Starlight condensed over their forms and bombarded the furball, intending to corrupt it, and through it corrupt the Transcendent World—Tentacles of Tusk.

Right as the various beams of starlight were about to bombard the furball, the pair of tentacles behaving as its eyes retreated into its body. It was still for an instant before a voracious amount of power exuded out of its being.

In the place of the furball now stood a cosmic giant dwarfing the Transcendent Worlds. Its billion eyes glared at the Cosmic Being and unleashed a soft most, barely detectable. When the mist touched the Cosmic Being, tentacles started to sprout across its body.

The edges developed mouths that began to gorge upon the Cosmic Being's body, using it to feed the tentacles they belonged to. As they fed, the tentacles grew in size before taking on the form of a humanoid with an octopus head.

These creatures ran across the Cosmic Being's body and bombarded the stars littering its surface, forcing it to focus on defence for the time being.

The cosmic giant reverted to its furball form and exhaled softly, "My attack was a bit stronger than before. That's great."

It turned around and flew towards the Transcendent World—

Tentacles of Tusk—in a hurry, purring once it fell in Mahira Tusk's embrace, "Mom, it was scary!"

"Sorry about that, it was my mistake, Cutie Ren!" Mahira Tusk snuggled the furball and patted it, oblivious to the stunned gazes of every other Transcendent on her Transcendent World.

'This guy's behaviour becomes the complete opposite in the presence of the Mammoth Ancestor.' Undrakha shook his head as he stared at the figure of Renduldu, weirded out by the latter's behaviour, 'You're a Mystic Transcendent! Act as per your status!'

"It's a dangerous world out there, alright?" Mahira Tusk said and patted the furball in her possession, "So stay close to me!"

"Okay," The furball nodded and condensed a pair of tentacles to act as eyes to stare at Sumatra Continent once again, "Sumatra has calmed down. What's the plan now?"

"Let them do as they please." Mahira Tusk shook her head, "Inala's actions are still fuelling Gannala's Mystic Path. It'll be foolish to kill him before it's complete."

"Well, we also don't want Gannala to hate us, alright?" The furball reminded Mahira Tusk, "It'll be our loss if, after everything we did, the first Empyrean Tusk to become a Transcendent turns into our enemy."

"You're right." Mahira Tusk clicked her tongue and stared at Inala, muttering in pity, "It would have been better had you remained a Mammoth Clansman."

"Well, he's still trying his best to fight the Boar King." The furball commented, "As long as he's alive, at least Gannala will be safe. And this pressure is the best. Only then will the Empyrean Tusks fight for their survival and evolve under significant pressure."

"You…" Mahira Tusk was alerted by the words Renduldu had used as she hurriedly stared at the Boar King, "Brangara is going to grow even stronger?"

"Exciting times, right?" The furball laughed in joy, "The competition between the Mystic Seven and the Boar King is elevating the power levels of Sumatra Continent as a whole. The level of development faced by the continent in a mere two decades has trumped tens of thousands of years of growth until now."

"Hmm…" Mahira Tusk stared at Boar King, observing for an instant before she began to condense energy in her fist, alarming Sumatra Continent into action once again, "No, he was already an absurd existence. Now, he'll become unstoppable. The Mammoth Clan will be unable to withstand that."

"I'll destroy him before he evolves!"
