32 Prime Legacy Inheritors (2/2)
”Good going!”
”Great Job Hittan!”
The crowd cheered and offered congratulations to the new generations' team.
”Okay, okay, back to business. As we all know the generational teams represent the next top choice for leaders.h.i.+p in the village. Based on their performance that team would then be presented with a legacy of a former G.o.dbeast Elder, that has restarted the cycle of life. It is important to know that even though a candidate may be presented or even if they find a legacy. Only the Legacy has the power to grant you access to the inheritance and how much they choose to share with you. In that way, many may share the same legacy as others. But only those that are granted the full inheritance can be seen as a 'Vice-Prime' inheritor.
As for those that are 'Prime' inheritors it is even rarer, as these legacies are hard to win the approval of and also to find. Because they represent the G.o.dbeast Clan Ancestors of the Ancient Era. The Elders and I have agreed to award this generation's new team the right to access the ancestral burial ground to undergo the inheritance ceremony. If they are found worthy of an inheritance, then that is their destiny!
This is a ceremony typically reserved after one has achieved peak Rank 10 Diamond cla.s.s and have proven themselves in service of the clan. All of which, this generation's team has already achieved!
As for the second announcement, it is more of a reminder. Our Ancestor and King of Gilead had long ago promised his return when the time was right. Many years have pa.s.sed and many of us may not remember certain details. But Gilead was not a Phoenix nor a Dragon, but a hybrid!”
”What! No, that can't be right!”
”How can a Beast King compare to a G.o.dbeast?!”
”Chief Fan, you must be mistaken!”
”Yes, we all know that your grandson is a Beast King and now you're trying to claim the Ancestral Inheritance for your family!”
Some of the younger members of the 4th and 5th generation started shouting their own theories and speculations. To which Chief Fan simply stood calmly, facing the accusations being thrown at him until he gestured for the 3rd and 2nd generation Elders from both Dragon and Phoenix Clans to speak.
”I, Aaron of the Dragon Clan, can confirm this to be true.”
”I, Sandor of the Phoenix Clan, also confirm this to be true.”
”I know that most of you see the mixed breeds as subcla.s.s individuals, but this is a mistake. One bred from our impatience and thirst for strength. But who can blame us? We were in an environment of battle and constant vigilance. Even now we still need more strength. Which is why the Elders of the 2nd and 3rd generation have nominated Hittan to attempt Gilead's inheritance.”
”May I speak a few words?” A question that came out of nowhere and certainly not expected by Chief Fan. It was none other than Hittan himself.
As the crowd looked at him, some with clear dissatisfaction while others saw him as nothing but an immature brat.
”Step up to the stage and address the village my boy.”
As. .h.i.ttan walked up to the stage he saw that the Beast Pavilion members were at the back of the Hall. Clearly disregarded by most and not even given fair opportunity to sit at the front with the other village members.
”Greetings my fellow villagers, I am Hittan. For those that don't know me, Hittan of the Dragon Phoenix Lineage and Member of the Beast Pavilion.
Some of you are displeased with my nomination for the inheritance. You think I'm weak because I am a mix breed lineage or you think I'm too young. But the solutions to these two issues are one and the same, strength!
So I will gladly waive my right to the legacy and pa.s.s it to any of you that can best me in battle. Since I am 5 years old I can only challenge those in my power range potential…”
”Haha! You Naive little brat you think the world is fair! You can't even fight someone stronger than Tier 4 Elemental warrior! Ha!”
”Yes, I wonder how he even achieved a Rank so high in the first place?!”
”He must have happened upon some treasure outside of the village to quickly reach that Rank!”
”Shut your worthless mouth! Hittan worked harder than anyone else did at that Academy to achieve his strength!” Fumes were pretty much rus.h.i.+ng out of Samir's mouth by the time he finished speaking.
”Worthless fools! Do not interrupt our leader again!” Falkner was unable to restrain himself any further and nearly charged one of the more boisterous youngsters.
Edan and the others stayed as quiet as they could manage, but it was clear they were bubbling with anger! Edan himself knew it was better to have Samir and Falkner speak as they represented those Clans. So their voices would not be easily disregarded.
”Let me finish, my power range goes all the way to Demi-G.o.dbeast and all below G.o.dbeast are not my equal!”
”WHAT! HE'S TALKING UTTER NONSENSE!!!!”
”BOY! DO NOT SPEAK SUCH WORDS WITH YOUR TIER 4 ELEMENTAL POWER!”
”CLEARLY YOU SPEAK LIES AND NEED TO BE THOUGHT A LESSON IN THE TRUTH OF THIS WORLD!”
”ONLY THE STRONG HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK, BOY!”
Suddenly Hittan disappeared and once he reappeared he was standing on the Coming of Age Ceremony stage!
”Any below G.o.dbeast Rank is free to step into the ring with me. If they can even manage to do so!”
BANG!!!
Hittan's body blasted out a radiant heat that flared outward like the sun! White light illuminated from his body and he became the 4th SUN of Gilead!
SUPERNOVA!
His maximum heat tolerance DOUBLED! It was now 10,700°C!
The roof of the hall was immediately blasted open with twisting gravitational forces! Everyone below G.o.dbeast had to flee! Panic ensued as his naysayers rushed the doors in a maddening fright! The heat wave that blasted the surrounding forest was akin to a nuclear bomb as the vegetation ignited!
The Elders of the 3rd and 2nd generation immediately used their power to cover Hittan's supernova release! Fearing that innocent or weaker members would be hurt they immediately called a stop to the demonstration!
When the dust finally settled no one spoke, not a word and some found it hard to breathe! No one objected again to his nomination. No one dared to!
”We will resume the a.s.sembly tomorrow at Early Sun, given the accidental damage to the Hall. I am sure most would appreciate this recess.” As Chief Fan dismissed the crowd he gestured for Hittan to stay behind.
”The Elders of both Clans wish to have a word with you. I hope you can think it through rationally.”
