Chapter 766
"What are you doing here alone then? Why the shackles? And what are the six bloodlines doing on the other side of the continent?" Noah kept on asking questions .
He could understand that the humans of that world had found their hope to fix their flaws in the Elite beasts . Yet, there were missing critical points in the snake's explanation .
It didn't tell him the purpose of making the bloodlines breed to increase the population, nor why they were hiding their history . He felt as if there was a more profound secret still hidden under that polite behavior .
"I've designed this castle . Unlike my brothers and sisters, I was the only one that predicted the rage of Heaven and Earth . " The snake said . "If you are wondering how it's because I've been the last ancestor to transform . My form is the most perfect state achievable in the Mortal Lands . "
"And that lets you predict the arrival of the Tribulations?" Noah asked at that point .
"I'm truly whole . There is a certain understanding of the world that you can obtain only from where I stand . " The snake answered .
Noah didn't like that vague reply . It was hard to trust a huge, talking snake in the sixth rank when it wasn't giving him real answers about the advantages of its species .
After all, Noah's hybrid status didn't forsake any positive feature of the magical beasts' world . His strength was above any creature, and both his other centers of power had benefitted from the fusion .
He wanted answers on the actual benefits behind turning himself into a beast, and the simply improved understanding wasn't enough to convince him about that path .
"These shackles are also my creation . " The snake continued since Noah had fallen silent . "After eating everyone inside the castle, I was afraid that I would fly outside to look for more food . Doing that would trigger the remains of the Worldwide Heaven Tribulation, and I can't let it focus me alone . "
Noah began to have a bad feeling when he heard that, but the snake didn't give him time to think since it continued with its explanation . "You must understand that the Tribulation hit just when we successfully transformed the first human that wasn't an ancestor through my perfect procedure . There were just too few of us to survive . "
"What are the bloodlines doing then?" Noah asked again, but his instincts were telling him that the situation was becoming dangerous .
However, he couldn't really escape, so he simply decided to see where that conversation would lead him .
"Well, the compound for the perfect transformation requires the mutagen of the Elite beasts and the ancestor's blood in my body . " The snake said . "Yet, I could only transform one human at the time in that way . As the bearer of my heritage, I had to find a way that could transform everyone at the same time to defeat the Tribulation together and reclaim the land . "
The rank 6 creature began to laugh at that point . Nevertheless, there was no happiness behind its voice . Noah could only sense deep and intense exhaustion accompanying those sounds .
The snake continued . "So, I've invented a method to keep the transformation dormant until a worthy existence triggered it . I've let the bloodlines spread the compound, and they even sacrificed their weaker assets to infect the fauna of this world . Then, I hibernated, waiting for a worthy existence to appear . "
Noah's vertical pupils constricted at those words . He had finally understood why his instincts didn't manage to sense such a powerful existence .
