CHAPTER 698 THE INHERITANCE
"This place...this is the homeland where the Predatory Holy Ant tribe first began to breed!" Henry could
not help but state that excitedly at that moment. The other two were just as excited as he was. Their
eyes were widening as they looked at the scene in front of them. Shock was evident on all three of their
faces.
"Henry, we're now arriving at the homeland! We're standing right in our homeland now!"
Each of them cheered up after hearing that. They found it really exciting to know such a thing as they
arrived at their homeland. On the other hand, Ricky had to calm them down via his runic power. They
might have exploded long ago out of excitement otherwise. Deep in Ricky's mind, he knew it would be
a really bad thing to do setting them free to run around on their own at that moment. He had to wait for
the misunderstanding to be settled before he could let them go. Things would only get out of control
otherwise. With that in mind, he kept a careful eye on the three of them.
However, in the next second, those three people had noticed the last thing that Ricky wanted them to
pay attention to. They had noticed the golden figure!
When they sensed the golden figure's blood power, the expressions on their faces changed
immediately to hideously wrathful looks. Their eyes became bloody from the intensity of their glares.
Their murderous intent towards the golden figure was too powerful to hide when they fixed their eyes
on him. Apparently, the three of them were ready to kill the golden figure at any moment.
However, they might not have been aware of the fact that the golden figure was only a consciousness
and not the real thing. Under those circumstances, there was no way for the three of them to kill him at
all.
"You bloody betrayer! I can't believe that you still dare to show your face here in our homeland! You can
go to hell!" the three of them shouted ferociously at almost the same time. They looked like they were
going to destroy the golden figure in the next second. However, they were immediately held back by
Ricky.
When he noticed that the three of them were angry with him, the golden figure was puzzled and his
face crumbled into a look of confusion.
"Sir, I'm sorry to bring this trouble to you. Here's how it happened..." Ricky started to explain the whole
thing to the golden figure as he recognized the puzzled look on the golden figure's face.
After Ricky's speech, the golden figure was aware of the cause of the three people's anger.
"I see," the golden figure replied as he felt a little helpless after Ricky's patient explanation.
"Sir, I need your help to gain their trust back now. They belong to the Predatory Holy Ant tribe, and this
is their homeland. I have to make them believe that what you told me is true," Ricky added.
"Thank god! These three young men of the Predatory Holy Ant tribe are still alive even though they had
been sealed up for a whole era. In some manner, that make me feel less guilty for the actions of the
Massacring Holy Ant tribe," the golden figure exclaimed to himself after a slight sigh.
"It would be hard to prove if we were anywhere else at this moment. Luckily, we are in the homeland
right now, I'm sure they'll know the truth soon. We can find a way to make them understand."
"Sir, then how can we prove it to them?" Ricky asked politely. Meanwhile, he sensed deep down that
there would be a way to make the three of them believe his words. He could not help but let out a sigh
of relief to himself at that thought.
'As long as there is a way to explain it, everything will be alright. I don't have to worry too much about
getting their trust and having them work for me in the end after all, ' Ricky thought to himself with a
satisfied nod.
Deep in his heart, he still wanted the three of them, Henry, and the other two, to be on his side.
By just thinking of the fighting power of the three of them, Ricky became very excited. The Sandy
Mutant, the Star Mutant, and the Array Mutant, each was individually powerful, not to mention how
unstoppable they were when those three powers were working together at the same time. He really
looked forward to having them by his side.
In the next second, the golden figure initiated his energy, with his palms facing up. In an instant, there
was golden light forming behind his back. He then released the power with the golden light into the
pond of origin that stored the power of the Predatory Holy Ant tribe. After all that, the water in the pond
of origin started to stir.
"Young men, I see that the three of you are from the Predatory Holy Ant tribe. As you know, it was the
Massacring Holy Ant tribe's fault back in ancient times. However, it was not what we wanted," the
golden figure said at that moment.
"This is the pond of origin of the Predatory Holy Ant tribe, so you must learn exactly what it does. If you
drip a drop of your blood into the pond now, you will be able to see the truth of what happened in the
ancient times. Once you see, I won't say a thing to argue if you're still angry with the Massacring Holy
Ant tribe."
However, the three of them were too furious to listen to anything that the golden figure had said just
then. They kept shouting to Ricky to let them go as they were screaming in anger. All they wanted,
since they had seen the golden figure, was to tear him apart.
With no other options, Ricky could only cut Thiago's arm to gather his blood without another word of
explanation. Then, he took a drop of blood from the arm and dropped it into the pond as quickly as he
could.
In the next moment, magical changes began to take place. And there were the scenes showing what
had happened in ancient times playing on the surface one by one.
In the scene that was playing, there was the drastic war between the devils and the Predatory Holy Ant
tribe. Soon, there were scenes that showed how things happened at that time. The images being
shown were the truth.
In the meantime, Henry and his companions finally had an opportunity to see the truth themselves for
the first time. The longer they kept their eyes trained on the scenes, the calmer they became in the
end.
For a moment, they did not know what to do, or what to say under those circumstances. After all, what
they saw in that moment was a reversal of what they had believed all along.
The silence between the three of them lasted for a long stretch of time. They seemed to have so many
things running through their minds after seeing all of that.
It was just as the golden figure had stated a short time ago. Although the three of them might not trust
any creature's words, there was no reason for them to disbelieve what was showing in the pond of
origin of the Predatory Holy Ant tribe.
With their blood having dripped in the pond earlier, the pond of origin would only show the truth of what
had happened in the ancient times of the Predatory Holy Ant tribe.
The truth that had just been revealed to them in that moment was a really big shock to the three of
them. Thus, they could still not seem to speak after such a long moment.
"I think they need some time to digest things after learning the truth!" the golden figure said to Ricky at
that point. Then, he took Ricky back to the homeland of the Massacring Holy Ant tribe.
"I'm really surprised that there are survivors of the Predatory Holy Ant tribe. I'm truly happy for that,
though. Thank god! This is a good thing for the Massacring Holy Ant tribe. I can at least feel a little less
guilty for our tribe," the golden figure sighed, feeling a lot of emotions well up in him.
"Sir, don't worry, I will definitely accomplish what you requested. I'll also complete it as a promise, you
have my word," Ricky stated firmly, in a serious tone.
Ricky was the kind of person who rarely made promises to others. But that time he took the initiative to
make a promise. It was because, from the bottom of his heart, he admired the tribes which had fought
with the devils in ancient times.
"Thank you, young man. Okay, now let's cut the small talk. You should go inside to the pond of origin of
our tribe and accept the inheritance. It's time for you guys to leave the land of legacy. It should go back
into the chaos now," the golden figure replied as he fixed his eyes on Ricky with a look that was slightly
wistful.
"Yes, sir!"
After a short reply, Ricky jumped into the pond of origin.
As soon as Ricky entered the pond of origin, he seemed to lose control of his Massacring Mutant, Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
revealing his real mutant power. Then, the four zones within his body started to vibrate. They were
trying to absorb the source of massacre from the pond.
However, Ricky stopped what was about to happen as soon as he sensed the vibration of the four
zones in his body.
Deep in his mind, Ricky knew well that, once the original energy was been absorbed by the four zones,
there would be no way for the Massacring Holy Ant tribe to reborn. That was the last thing that he
wanted to happen. So there was no way he wanted to cause that.
'Well, the original energy seems to hold a great attraction for the zones within me, ' Ricky thought to
himself in silent contemplation.
The next second, Ricky's attention shifted to focus on something else. Instead, he concentrated all his
energy and began to accept the inheritance there in the pond. However, he would not really accept the
inheritance. What he would do was use it as a reference for his martial arts. He would use it to help
himself to reach a higher level.
While Ricky was in the process of accepting the inheritance, he had only one thought in his mind. He
felt like he was in an endless sea which was made of information about the martial arts methods of the
Massacring Holy Ant tribe.
Under the circumstances, Ricky had a strong feeling that his Massacring Mutant would definitely
become the most powerful one among the four big mutants after accepting the inheritance in the pond.
In the midst of his concentration, there were pictures flitting through his mind. The pictures were the
martial arts training methods of the Massacring Holy Ant tribe, different kinds of training experiences,
insights and understandings.
All of them were the deepest insights of the tribe that had been gathered over its complete history.
The members of Massacring Holy Ant tribe were born to practice the massacring power. What they had
gained while they were practicing it, such as their experiences and insights, would definitely be
incomparable to the skills of any other tribes.
By accepting those experiences and insights, all of a sudden, Ricky felt like he had been practicing the
massacring power for the last ten years.
His insights of the Massacring Skill, Omnipotent Skill, and the cultivation methods were rapidly
increasing.
In addition, with the help of the four zones within his body, Ricky could certainly put those insights and
experiences to use and learn from them. There would definitely be a great improvement in his
understanding and practice of other powers as well.
What was more, while he was in the pond, there were also changes taking place within his Massacring
Mutant at the same time. His Massacring Mutant was now getting much closer to its peak.
It took Ricky half a month to wake up from the process of accepting the inheritance.
When he came back to himself, although Ricky felt nearly nothing of his improvements in his cultivation
and strength, he could feel that his inner strength had become more profound. At that point, the ancient
aura around him could be easily felt by anyone around him.
There was no doubt that Ricky had come to understand a lot when accepting the inheritance of the
Massacring Holy Ant tribe.
Buzz! Buzz! With a loud buzz, there were significant changes taking place in the pond once again.
