Chapter 510 Future Sight on Yarsha
"Noo! Mom! Dad! Everyone!" Yarsha Zahara screamed as a team of cultivators carried her out of the Zahara Kingdom in a desperate hurry while a raging Empyrean Boar King destroyed her home.
"You…bastard! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Yarsha Zahara glared at the Empyrean Boar King, shedding blood from her eyes, having gone insane from rage.
…
"Your Highness, I can no longer accompany you on your mission." Her closest confidant lay stabbed into a tree, missing his lower body, not having enough Prana to regenerate his body.
"No, no! No! NO!" Yarsha Zahara surged whatever Prana remained in her Spirit Container into the confidant, staring helplessly as the latter breathed her last. She collapsed to the ground in exhaustion and stared around, observing that she was alone.
The last of her people had died.
…
"What a monster…!" Upon returning to the Zahara Kingdom one day, Yarsha Zahara stared at the ruins. Nothing was left intact in the wake of the Boar King's casual rampage.
Slowly, she approached the palace and began to scoop through the rubble, soon able to see the crushed head of someone, screaming mournfully, "Dad! DAD!"
"Why? Just why did you attack my home?" She broke down mentally. Her family, friends, colleagues, the people she vowed to protect as their future ruler, and finally, her entire Kingdom, were no more.
The Zahara Kingdom's history had been brought to a halt here. All its records had been destroyed, making it easy for its existence to be forgotten. The day Yarsha Zahara dies is when the Zahara Kingdom ceases to exist.
…
"You, you, all of you, support me. And in return, I'll give you power!" Yarsha Zahara spoke at a rally, giving a speech to empower the people of a Kingdom, "I'll improve your cultivation techniques and grant you a Secondary Nature. In this treacherous Sumatra, we'll survive and excel towards an era of Human Supremacy!"
"Are you with me?" She roared, hiding her sadness under a veil as she observed the crowd roar in response, "Again! Are you with me?"
"Yes!"
"Are you with me?"
"Yes!"
"Kill the Pranic Beasts!" She roared.
"Kill the Pranic Beasts!" The crowd echoed her roar, revving up in magnitude.
"Down with the Boar King!" She shouted until her face reddened.
"Down with the Boar King!"
…
"You're safe now." While being chased by a group of Gold Grade Pranic Beasts, Resha arrived to her rescue.
"Thank you for protecting me." Yarsha Zahara said as her eyes narrowed upon sensing a Major Treasure in Resha, 'This'll work.'
"Can I get your name?" She asked next, her every action a calculated response.
"I'm Resha," Resha responded, stunned by her beauty as he had a clear view of her.
…
"This fucking woman is fooling you, Resha!" Yahira spat in Yarsha Zahara's direction as she attacked Resha, "How long will you remain a dumbass? She's not a fragile maiden as she claims to be!"
"She has suffered, Yahira. I just wish to help her." Resha argued, not defending against her attacks.
"She's stronger than me!" Yahira said in frustration as she grabbed a bone knife and stabbed Resha, "What part of that do you not understand? Do you want to be stabbed? Is that it?"
…
"Can you not satisfy even this small wish of mine?" Yarsha Zahara expressed absolute helplessness, displaying her fragile being to its fullest before Resha, "Don't you have it in you to give me hope?"
"But, Yahira is the woman I love." Resha remained adamant but was unable to make eye contact with her, lacking the strength to turn her down.
'Almost there.' Yarsha Zahara smiled subtly and continued with her act of being fragile and weak before Resha.
…
"How…is this making sense?" Yarsha Zahara stared at the Major Treasure of Weapon in disbelief as even after touching it, she was unable to make it a part of her, "Why can't I obtain it?"
"Is this the problem?" She eventually figured it out, despairing in response, "Since my Human Avatar is at the Silver Grade, I cannot fuse with a Major Treasure. Is that it?"
"Gold Grade strength…" She sighed, despondent, "Where will I go for that?"
Staring at the sky, she sighed, "Mom! Dad! I'm not sure if I'm able to kill the Boar King in this lifetime."
"No, there's still a way." She muttered as her eyes turned cold.
…
"Thank you, Yarsha." Resha gasped in exhaustion as he obtained the Major Treasure of Weapon, "It would have been impossible to get this without your help…"
His body froze up when Yarsha Zahara hugged him from the back, noticing her crane up her neck and kiss him on the cheek.
"I…want your child." Yarsha Zahara said and made her move. With how much she had been planning, Resha was unable to refuse her.
…
"You…CONNIVING BITCH!" Yahira roared as she rained down attacks on Yarsha Zahara, raging in frustration as her attacks were perfectly countered by the latter.
"You do realise that I haven't killed you only because I don't want to make Resha sad, right?" Yarsha Zahara as her Reactive Jade Human Avatar had fully adapted to counter Yahira's power, casually transforming Yahira's attacks into form that harmed her best before reflecting them onto her.
"Farewell, Yahira." Yarsha Zahara waved her hand, "I have achieved my purpose. So, let's not encounter each other in the future."
'I have all the data held by the Mammoth Clan and now, I bear a child who carries the essence of two Major Treasures.' She thought and patted her belly, 'This child of mine will grow up to become the strongest Free Human.'
"If you still behave like this towards me if in the chance we encounter in the future, I'll kill you, Yahira." Yarsha Zahara evaded Yahira's attacks and eventually managed to make her escape, her words cold as she stopped at a secluded spot and clenched her hand into a fist, done with her preparations, "I'll kill you, Boar King."
"I'll kill you, without fail."
"No matter what, I'll be the one to rip your body to shreds!"
…
'These are all…my past life?' Yarsha Zahara clenched her head in pain as a massive stream of information flooded her mind. And hovering behind the cluster of information in her mind space was the outline of Renduldu, the latest Mystic Empyrean Tentacle to have appeared on Sumatra Continent.
When Resha's Prana made contact with her own, her Human Avatar made out of Sumatra Gold reacted promptly and managed to absorb the effects of future sight used on Resha. As a result, she was able to access her past life, something that shouldn't have been possible.
The parents of the Seven Mystic Paths were able to gain the memories of their time on earth moments before their deaths due to the side effects of future sight. Originally, they weren't supposed to recall that.
But as the future sight cast by Renduldu wasn't perfect, such side-effects were normal. And it was a calculated risk he had taken.
In Sumatra Chronicles, Yarsha Zahara was by far the most important person to Resha. Even though the woman he loved was Yahira, he was helpless about the fact that he considered Yarsha Zahara to be his most important.
It was why he was unable to refuse her initiative, even though he was a stubborn individual who refrained from even entertaining the thought of approaching another woman.
As for the relationship, Yarsha Zahara bore Resha's child. Hence, the bond between them was strong enough for future sight's side-effects to flow into Yarsha Zahara. Had she been the same as in Sumatra Chronicles, she still wouldn't have been able to recall her past.
All she would feel would be mild pangs of nostalgia towards Resha and would feel hesitation whenever she thought of harming him or supporting the Boar King. But that was it.
However, thanks to the properties of Sumatra Gold, the effects of future sight were enhanced and stabilised in her, allowing her to recall her entire past life. And then, she turned mad. 'I…started a family with the one that killed everyone I cared about?'
'No, this isn't true! Those are just memories! My family, colleagues, and my Zahara Kingdom are intact. We've become significantly prosperous now thanks to the Boar King's support.' She clutched her head, unable to figure out what she wanted anymore.
Her reality was of this life, one where she was pretty blessed. Her Kingdom was growing stronger day by day, she had the strongest existence on Sumatra who was smitten with her and did his very best to cater to all her needs, and she herself was building a Human Avatar out of Sumatra Gold, having the potential to be on par with the Boar King once she reaches the peak of the Body Stage.
So, she couldn't allow her past life's horrors to implicate her. But she was currently in her thirties. The memories of her past life stretched past a century, stopping at the Fourth Major Disaster. The effects of future sight only covered up to that part and hence, Yarsha Zahara was unable to know of her life beyond that point. She had enough lifespan to live a couple more centuries back then.
The memories were vivid and spanned four times the length of her current life. And hence, they influenced her thoughts strongly, intending to overpower her current mindset. "Argh!"
Yarsha Zahara glared at the ground in despair, "What the fuck am I supposed to do?"
"My head's a mess!"
