CHAPTER 700 WIN THE HEARTS OF THE THREE WARRIORS

After getting the Massacring Soil, Ricky no longer hesitated. He immediately took it and the Source of

Golden Body back into his Massacring Zone, and began to fuse them.

Even without his effort, the fusion of the two forces was inevitable. However, his desire to make the

Ultimate Golden Body truly formidable pushed him to add massacring runes to the fusion process.

Soon, he immersed himself fully in the fusion state!

Buzz! Buzz! A few days later, a buzzing sound suddenly rang throughout the ancestral land of the

Massacring Holy Ant tribe. Ricky, who was sitting with his legs crossed and floating in midair, began

emitting a golden light as he burst out the second level of Ultimate Golden Body. He shined like a

beacon in the dark, illuminating the entirety of the ancestral land with a golden light.

At that moment, Ricky could feel that his second level of Ultimate Golden Body had improved from the

minor achievement to the major achievement. It seemed to even reach the completeness. In that case,

then the next cultivation phase of the Ultimate Golden Body would be the third level.

"The Massacring Soil is indeed the most suitable source for the Ultimate Golden Body. With a single

fusion, I've reached a massive breakthrough in my Ultimate Golden Body," Ricky said to himself, his

voice somber and contemplative.

More than that, his Ultimate Golden Body had undergone some significant changes. A feeling of

invincibility rose from the bottom of his heart. The energy that now coursed through his veins made him

feel like a new man, evolved and greater. At this point, perhaps his Ultimate Golden Body could be

considered as genuine and real.

'This breakthrough will greatly change me, ' Ricky thought as an amused smile graced his face.

"What an awesome golden body! Anybody who sees that light will get a sense of indestructible,

unmatched strength." A familiar voice sounded then, alerting him of new arrivals. It showered him with

praise in an amicable manner.

Three figures landed in front of him. As they stood, he had a better view of their faces. The three

warriors, Henry, Yori, and Thiago, stepped forward to greet him.

The smug looks on their faces were unmistakable.

Similarly, Ricky could feel that their inner strength increased too, despite maintaining their cultivation

base. Their stay in the ancestral land of the Predatory Holy Ant tribe provided them with great benefits

as well.

Ricky estimated that because they were the Predatory Holy Ants, the pond of original energy in the

ancestral land of the Predatory Holy Ant tribe could give the them more power.

In their time apart, the three went through changes without his notice. As they possessed powerful This belongs to : ©.

mutants, Ricky expected their future endeavors in martial arts would blossom. Considering their great

potential, their career success was determined.

"How did you get here? And what brought you three here?" Ricky asked, his eyes widened as he

watched their approach.

"The ancestral land of the Massacring Holy Ant tribe was created with a connection with our ancestral

land. Naturally, due to this attachment, we can enter this place without much effort," Henry explained

with a smile.

Sincerity tinged the corners of Henry's smile. Ricky couldn't detect a trace of grief or the deep-seated

hatred he harbored for the Massacring Holy Ant tribe in that smile. He found the same sincerity in the

faces of Yori and Thiago. From the looks of the three, they had managed to let go of their grudges.

Otherwise, they could not have acted so nice to him now.

"Oh, I see." Ricky nodded slightly when he heard Henry's words. Simultaneously, he withdrew his

second level of Ultimate Golden Body. He landed in front of them with a soft thud. His eyes turned

critically to face them, sizing them up and down.

"I can't feel any trace of hatred in your body anymore. It seems that you have forgiven the Massacre

Holy Ant tribe," Ricky said excitedly.

Since he received the heritage of the Massacring Holy Ant tribe, dealing with all of its affairs was part of

his responsibility. To know that the three let go of their hatred and forgave the tribe brought him relief.

He was thrilled in the depths of his heart.

"The Massacring Holy Ant tribe didn't do anything wrong. Perhaps we were too arbitrary and extreme in

the past. We shouldn't have blamed the Massacring Holy Ant tribe without investigating the truth.

Through the scenes presented in our ancestral land, we found the truth and finally realized that we

were wrong," Henry said in a sincere tone.

"Our enemy is not the Massacring Holy Ant tribe. It's the shameless traitor and the devils. Without

them, the creatures of our tribe would not have been destroyed."

"Ha-ha, then it seems we'll be fighting partners in the future." There was a lightness in Ricky's chest.

He was so glad, a peal of laughter burst from his mouth.

A heavier feeling accompanied the new developments too. Deep inside, he felt that it was a great pity

that the three might never want to be his men.

'Maybe, I should take it slow. They never said that they didn't want to follow me. I might still have a

chance. In any case, I want to build my forces on this continent. When the Misty South Palace grows

strong enough, it should be able to attract the three. By then, hopefully, it will not be too late, ' Ricky

thought to himself.

"Perhaps, our relationship won't be as simple as just being fighting partners," Henry said meaningfully,

dropping his voice lower as he exchanged glances with his friends.

"Oh? I don't understand what you mean," Ricky said. His eyebrows raised in puzzlement.

"Ricky, when we were in the ancestral land of our tribe, we made a unanimous decision. We have

decided to follow your lead," Henry replied in the next breath. No hesitation showed on his face.

"What? Follow my lead?!" Ricky repeated, sputtering the words back with incredulity. His eyes widened

abruptly, expressing the complete and utter shock caused by Henry's words.

Yet, in the meantime, Ricky thought to himself, 'God! I can't believe my luck! I just thought that the three

could be my men in the future, and the next second, my wish came true!'

Despite his joy in hearing such good news, Ricky was still confused about the reasons behind their

decision. To his ears, it seemed too sudden and hasty.

Even though Ricky gave up the heritage of the Massacring Holy Ant tribe, that shouldn't have been

enough reason for them to follow his lead. Moreover, judging by Henry's tone, Ricky was sure that they

were serious about their decision.

"You heard me right! We want to follow you from the bottom of our hearts," Henry repeated.

Hearing Henry's affirmation, Ricky calmed down. Slowly, he said, "Henry, to be honest, I did have the

idea of taking you three under my wing. However, I am quite surprised when you mentioned it yourself

just now. So, I want to know the reason."

"Ricky, you're honest. If it were anyone else, he would never admit that he thought of accepting us as

his subordinates. Due to your honesty, we can't be wrong in our decision to follow you." Henry smiled

as he spoke.

"There are two reasons for our decision.

The first is that you let us know the truth. And you even gave us the ancestral land of the Predatory

Holy Ant tribe. This is a great grace for us. You won our hearts through such a simple action," Henry

explained further.

"We may be a little extreme when it comes to certain things, but we still know we should repay your

grace."

"Ha-ha, it seems that winning your trust is my best reward from this trip to the Land of Legacy," Ricky

said. A slight smile appeared on his face as he regarded the three men.

However, he waited for them to continue. Something in his gut told him that it was because of the

following reason that the three decided to follow him.

"The second reason obligates us to follow you," Henry continued. With those words, he confirmed

Ricky's suspicions.

"Oh? "The reason that obligates you to follow me? I'd like to hear it." Curiosity tinged Ricky's reply.

Unconsciously, he leaned closer to better hear their explanation.

"It is because of the ancestral land of our tribe," Henry added.
