"This place...this is the homeland where the Predatory Holy Ant tribe first began to breed!" Henry could not help but state that excitedly at that moment. The other two were just as excited as he was. Their eyes were widening as they looked at the scene in front of them. Shock was evident on all three of their faces.
"Henry, we're now arriving at the homeland! We're standing right in our homeland now!"
Each of them cheered up after hearing that. They found it really exciting to know such a thing as they arrived at their homeland. On the other hand, Ricky had to calm them down via his runic power. They might have exploded long ago out of excitement otherwise. Deep in Ricky's mind, he knew it would be a really bad thing to do setting them free to run around on their own at that moment. He had to wait for the misunderstanding to be settled before he could let them go. Things would only get out of control otherwise. With that in mind, he kept a careful eye on the three of them.
However, in the next second, those three people had noticed the last thing that Ricky wanted them to pay attention to. They had noticed the golden figure!
When they sensed the golden figure's blood power, the expressions on their faces changed immediately to hideously wrathful looks. Their eyes became bloody from the intensity of their glares. Their murderous intent towards the golden figure was too powerful to hide when they fixed their eyes on him. Apparently, the three of them were ready to kill the golden figure at any moment.
However, they might not have been aware of the fact that the golden figure was only a consciousness and not the real thing. Under those circumstances, there was no way for the three of them to kill him at all.
"You bloody betrayer! I can't believe that you still dare to show your face here in our homeland! You can go to hell!" the three of them shouted ferociously at almost the same time. They looked like they were going to destroy the golden figure in the next second. However, they were immediately held back by Ricky.
When he noticed that the three of them were angry with him, the golden figure was puzzled and his face crumbled into a look of confusion.
"Sir, I'm sorry to bring this trouble to you. Here's how it happened..." Ricky started to explain the whole thing to the golden figure as he recognized the puzzled look on the golden figure's face.
After Ricky's speech, the golden figure was aware of the cause of the three people's anger.
"I see," the golden figure replied as he felt a little helpless after Ricky's patient explanation.
"Sir, I need your help to gain their trust back now. They belong to the Predatory Holy Ant tribe, and this is their homeland. I have to make them believe that what you told me is true," Ricky added.
"Thank god! These three young men of the Predatory Holy Ant tribe are still alive even though they had been sealed up for a whole era. In some manner, that make me feel less guilty for the actions of the Massacring Holy Ant tribe," the golden figure exclaimed to himself after a slight sigh.
"It would be hard to prove if we were anywhere else at this moment. Luckily, we are in the homeland right now, I'm sure they'll know the truth soon. We can find a way to make them understand."
"Sir, then how can we prove it to them?" Ricky asked politely. Meanwhile, he sensed deep down that there would be a way to make the three of them believe his words. He could not help but let out a sigh of relief to himself at that thought.
'As long as there is a way to explain it, everything will be alright. I don't have to worry too much about getting their trust and having them work for me in the end after all, ' Ricky thought to himself with a satisfied nod.
Deep in his heart, he still wanted the three of them, Henry, and the other two, to be on his side.
By just thinking of the fighting power of the three of them, Ricky became very excited. The Sandy Mutant, the Star Mutant, and the Array Mutant, each was individually powerful, not to mention how unstoppable they were when those three powers were working together at the same time. He really looked forward to having them by his side.
In the next second, the golden figure initiated his energy, with his palms facing up. In an instant, there was golden light forming behind his back. He then released the power with the golden light into the pond of origin that stored the power of the Predatory Holy Ant tribe. After all that, the water in the pond of origin started to stir.
"Young men, I see that the three of you are from the Predatory Holy Ant tribe. As you know, it was the Massacring Holy Ant tribe's fault back in ancient times. However, it was not what we wanted," the golden figure said at that moment.
"This is the pond of origin of the Predatory Holy Ant tribe, so you must learn exactly what it does. If you drip a drop of your blood into the pond now, you will be able to see the truth of what happened in the ancient times. Once you see, I won't say a thing to argue if you're still angry with the Massacring Holy Ant tribe."
However, the three of them were too furious to listen to anything that the golden figure had said just then. They kept shouting to Ricky to let them go as they were screaming in anger. All they wanted, since they had seen the golden figure, was to tear him apart.
With no other options, Ricky could only cut Thiago's arm to gather his blood without another word of explanation. Then, he took a drop of blood from the arm and dropped it into the pond as quickly as he could.
In the next moment, magical changes began to take place. And there were the scenes showing what had happened in ancient times playing on the surface one by one.
In the scene that was playing, there was the drastic war between the devils and the Predatory Holy Ant tribe. Soon, there were scenes that showed how things happened at that time. The images being shown were the truth.
In the meantime, Henry and his companions finally had an opportunity to see the truth themselves for the first time. The longer they kept their eyes trained on the scenes, the calmer they became in the end.
For a moment, they did not know what to do, or what to say under those circumstances. After all, what they saw in that moment was a reversal of what they had believed all along.
The silence between the three of them lasted for a long stretch of time. They seemed to have so many things running through their minds after seeing all of that.
