I'll Surpass The MC

Chapter 594 A Nice Welcome

Only a Ravaged Tribesman remained unbothered by the Phells. Moreover, there were strange occurrences where a Ravaged Tribesman would suddenly enter a daze before a water body and jump into it, leaving behind no traces.

"It has happened a few times at the Sanrey Plains too." Gappu expressed his shock, "Even our Quip Tribe experienced it. Three people of ours jumped into the Angan River and vanished mysteriously."

"This place is the cause," Inala nodded at his words, "From time to time, mysterious undercurrents would be generated in water bodies that carry influence from this place. This influence can only act upon a Ravaged Tribesman. If a Tribesman was in the vicinity of this undercurrent, he'd be lured in by the influence and would enter the water. The undercurrent would carry him to this place."

It was unknown when or where this undercurrent would be generated. But only a Ravaged Tribesman can feel it, and that too only when in the vicinity. To what range can the influence be exerted upon, Inala was unsure.

Sumatra Chronicles had practically no detail about this. After all, when the Fourth Major Disaster started, a good portion of this planet was already in ruins thanks to Brangara's rampage. By then, he was already maddened and had attained the 10-Life Stage.

So, no details about the place were depicted. Everything that Inala knew about the place stemmed from the data he gathered at the Sanrey Plains through the Empyrean Extraction Prime Skill used on the progeny of the five Silver Grade Pranic Beasts and their respective Tribesmen.

Through that, Inala came to know about some Tribesmen going missing mysteriously. He had pieced together some info by his time at the Dralh Sea, but that was irrelevant information at that point in time.

After all, without obtaining the Major Treasure of Attribute, his endgame build would never happen. So, he had different priorities to focus on.

But now that he had become the Royal Zinger and inherited information from the Brimgan Founder, Inala could piece together the full picture.

From what he could figure out, Ravaged Tribesmen were being pulled into water bodies and brought to this planet for tens of thousands of years, ever since the Major Treasure of Pet had appeared.

Sanctuary was the name given to the Major Treasure of Pet's Influenced Region. And it was Sanctuary that formed the planet's core. From time to time, it released its influence through the planet's water, bringing Ravaged Tribesmen to the place.

Over time, as the population of Ravaged Tribesmen increased steadily, a group was created, that continued to steadily accumulate power to become a sizeable force, being labelled the Ravaged Federation.

Fifteen months after the Royal Zinger's birth, the Biome Bomb train landed on the planet's ocean. Inala stared at the Quip Clansmen as the two Biome Bombs reverted to their original size. Now that the space within the Biome Bombs became equalised with the outside world, Inala created Biome Bombs and layered them on the bodies of all Quip Clansmen.

The layer was transparent and thin enough to not feel any difference. Inala also morphed its texture to resemble skin and removed the unnecessary space within. Its sole function was to unleash the presence of the Quip Tribe.

This was to protect them from the Phells that were everywhere on this planet. Phells could grow on their own by consuming minerals dissolved in the water. So, they formed the primary food source for the Ravaged Tribesmen living on the planet.

As a result, anywhere with a large enough space to hold water, Phells were grown. These Phells doubled down as food and detectors for intruders.

"I'll make a move first and get a hang of the place. Once I have the leeway, I'll bring out everyone." Inala said and exited the Biome Bomb.

"What about me?" Wittral asked in worry, "You're at risk when you travel as a Silver Grade Royal Zinger. If everything you said is factual, then this place can pose danger even to you."

"You're right," Inala nodded, "Which is why, when my life's at risk, I'll bring you out."

"So, be ready for me."

"Got it," Wittral nodded, "Just don't take too much time."

"I won't," Inala nodded, "Since the purpose for coming here is to train. There's no place better than here to train for all of us."

The two Biome Bombs shrunk to thumb-size as Inala slung them around his hip. A Biome Bomb layered his skin, emanating the presence of a Quip Clansman.

Secondary Nature—Perfect Biome Domination!

A Biome Bomb appeared around him, reaching a radius of 180 metres. Its surface turned transparent and became porous. The material soon morphed into Prana so that no material resistance would be subjected to the surroundings.

As this was the first time he was doing it, especially at the Silver Grade, Inala took a while to make the corrections. The end result was similar to an Empyrean Snapper unleashing the effect of Subtle Terrain Domination.

At the Gold Grade, Inala would be able to unleash the effect instantaneously too. Now that the surface of the Biome Bomb displayed no resistance to air and water, Inala activated his Secondary Nature.

The water within his Biome Bomb moved, generating a wave that carried him forward. Like a motorboat, Inala sped through the ocean, heading in the direction of land that he observed when travelling through the water tendril.

At a rough estimate, this planet was the size of Earth, which came as a surprise to him once Inala made the measurement. The planet only had a single landmass, but it was spread like roots across the ocean.

In terms of appearance, it resembled the Southern Veins of the Brimgan Empire, but there were concentrated deposits of landmass, appearing as large circles across the veiny pattern.

These circles acted as nodes where many of the veins merged, forming hubs for the strongest of forces to concentrate upon.

Four days of nonstop travel later, Inala arrived at the shore of a city seemingly built out of corals. The walls were constructed at a forty-five-degree incline and were a series of sharp spikes protruding outward.

There was no free space under the spikes. Even more spikes existed from the uppermost spike to the ground, packing the space to the brim. At one section of the spiked wall was an oval hole reaching a height of three metres.

This hole wasn't attached to the ground but existed at an altitude of two metres from the ground. Basically, if one has to enter it, they would have to leap through the hole. It felt strange for Inala, since this was his first time seeing it.

In Sumatra Chronicles, all the cities traversed by the Mammoth Clan were in ruins, already destroyed by the Boar King. And the Mammoth Clan wasn't exactly in any state to inspect the place, since they were tethering at the end of their existence.

'Somewhere on this planet lies the key to figuring out the location of the Seat of Transcendence.' Inala thought and shook his head, "But first, I need to focus on my objective."

He walked on the shore, noticing the sand filled with sharp stones that could easily cause a Free Human's feet to bleed. Inala looked around and noticed a man seated on a stone bench farther away, enjoying the view of the ocean.

There was no sun to illuminate the planet, but other sources of illumination existed. Light emitted by the luminous ocean was captured and concentrated by the water tendrils jutting out of the planet.

Like lightning flashes, they illuminated the sky of the planet, acting as a steady source of lumination. There was also enough geothermal activity within the planet to keep the place warm enough for life to sustain itself.

Of course, as the beings living on the planet were Ravaged Tribesmen, they were more robust in their endurance and climate adaptability, able to survive better. Survival of the fittest was at play here, especially due to the influence of the Major Treasure of Pet, which was what the Ravaged Federation revolved around.

"Hello sir, can you guide me?" Inala approached the man and asked politely.

"Eh?" The man stared at Inala in surprise and gazed into the ocean, "You arrived at the ocean?"

"Damn, your luck must suck."

Water tendrils brought the Ravaged Tribesmen caught by the undercurrents to the planet. The majority of these tendrils were positioned close to the shore.

There weren't any close to their city, which was why the man was shocked, "For how long have you been travelling through the ocean?"

"For four days?" Inala made a thinking pose as he tapped his chin, "But I'm good at travelling, which is why I didn't die. Besides, there were plenty of fish in the ocean. They were very docile and hardly resisted when I captured them to eat."

"Well, you survived and made your way here." Saying so, the man got up and offered his hand for a shake, "I'm Rattac, welcome to the Ravaged Federation."

"I'm Inala," Inala returned the handshake.

"Follow me, I'll get you adjusted to this place." Saying so, the man escorted Inala towards the city.

Along the way, they came across a large plaque affixed along the side of the road, inscribed with a familiar face. Upon staring at it, the man spat in disgust, "It's a fucking invader."

"This bastard is the most wanted man across the Ravaged Federation. Anyone who kills him can easily become one of the richest individuals across the Federation."

"What did he do to earn that infamy?" Inala stared at the picture in confusion, 'Isn't this Boul Brimgan?'

'Did he come here before?'
