Location- Sky Blossom City, SSS-Rank Legend Grade Unparalleled Arena
This was the first time Anna had used her bloodline card since its creation, as it required her bloodline to activate. Bloodline like blood is replenishable but not as easy. And it also comes with serious side effects. Therefore, Anna had kept this card as a last resort.
If not for her considering the safety of her people in the temporary military base, the D-class silver beach gate dungeon, and sky blossom city itself, Anna would never have considered using this card as the side effects of consuming the bloodline are very strong. Even for someone as tough as Anna.
Since she had used the card anyway, Anna wanted to experience the card to the fullest, of course, apart from the skill ‘Unparalleled Honor.’ And she was excited to see the beautiful murals on arena walls and the full-body sculptures of her ancestors. Everything was grand and beautiful, but one thing annoyed her the most, the divine light in the eyes of the statues would flicker while making buzzing sounds without any rhythm.
*Buzzz*
The buzzing sound was irritating to hear. And Anna can’t help but shake the feeling that the statues were judging her. But remembering the card info, she realized that the Statues might be possessed by her Ancestors consciousnesses.
*Buzzz*
If her assumption was correct, then were the sculptures really judging her? And the flickering light in their eyes and buzzing sounds that they made, could it be their way of communicating with her? Were they trying to convey something to her?
*Buzzz*
Thinking about all of this, Anna was frustrated. Even if her assumptions were accurate, it would be useless as she couldn’t understand what her ancestors were trying to say. And not to mention the disgusting devil, which kept calling her food, kept attacking her with its multiple tongues made up of lava. No matter how many tongues of the creature she destroyed, there was no end to it. But was not threatening and gave her time to explore the arena and think. This was good because if she defeats her opponent, she will be teleported right back to where she had summoned the field card.
*BUZZZ*
“Shut up! I can’t understand you guys. All I can hear are annoying buzzing sounds. That is irritating.” For some reason, suddenly, all the statues started to buzz simultaneously. Unable to handle it, irritated, Anna snapped at the sculptures asking them to shut the hell up.
While Anna’s words echoed in the arena, the statues suddenly stopped buzzing. Anna almost nodded in satisfaction, but the buzzing noise returned with a higher frequency and was more unpleasant to hear.
…
‘Who is this bear child? How dare she yells at her ancestors?’ The wild thought exploded with anger hearing Anna’s response.
‘What do you mean by something you don’t understand? Little girl, this is important. Explain in more detail.’ Another thought sounded.
‘Buzzing sounds! Have the family’s teachings fallen to such low standards that the generation Heir doesn’t know how to use soul whisper? What have you juniors been doing with the family we worked so hard to build.’ Anna was actively using the ‘southern emperor’ bestowal card, so the ancestors of unparalleled bloodline knew Anna was selected as the next generation leader of the Heatsend family and should also have the purest outstanding bloodline of her generation. Therefore the Ancestors were shocked to see that the next person to carry their family torch was so lacking that they blamed their juniors for not grooming her properly.
‘Ancestor, that girl is still in card emperor realm. It is already outstanding that she can feel the frequency of our soul whispers.’ One of the younger thoughts defended Anna, saying that considering her card emperor realm cultivation, it was already an achievement for her to hear the frequency of their soul whisper.
Anna only heard the buzzing sounds instead of her ancestors’ speech because she could only feel the soul frequency they were communicating in but not tune in with it. Even though Anna had the full strength of a demigod, her soul was a mortal soul who hadn’t forged a divinity yet. Therefore, despite the demigod realm’s power, she lacked the perks of having a divinity.
‘What the heck is that supposed to mean? I could hear and decipher soul whispers when I was in the card king realm. Yes, granted that I couldn’t communicate with others using the soul whisper. it was not just me, my father and sister could do it too.’ The older thought did not agree that Anna was a genius for feeling the frequency of their soul whispers at the card emperor realm as he was able to achieve more at a lower realm.
‘What did you accept? The unparalleled bloodline has been diluted ever since the founders listened to the younger generation and lifted the inbreeding rule. You idiotic younger generation and your new world ideas will be the ruins of our family.’ An ancient thought suddenly sounded, blaming the younger generation for forcing the founders to lift the inbreeding rule.
Hearing the Ancient thought, all the other thoughts went silent. They did not expect the presence of one of the big bosses, an ancient card apprentice of the unparalleled bloodline. The silence of the other thoughts did not mean that they agreed with the ancient thought, but he just chose to stay silent out of respect, as bickering with the ancient thought would not change anything.
Hearing the silence, the Ancient thought was pleased and believed that others thought its opinion was valid and reasonable. So to put a nail in the coffin, it added, ‘I think we should have the next-generation heir reinstate the inbreeding law. It will take time, but the unparalleled bloodline will regain its old supremacy again.’
Hearing the ancient thought, the other thoughts became active and started to slam it mercilessly. One went as far as to yell, ‘You old relic, keep your deviant ideas to yourself.’
