Jyorta regained consciousness, opening his eyes to rest. He didn't comprehend the entire life of the Tier 1 Crust-Mantle, only focusing on the memories related to the incident. Otherwise, he would need to spend months just to go through a single Crust-Mantle's memory.

The Lava Turtle in the memory tried its best to insult humans through every action it took, as if it gained pleasure from doing so. Since it was just a memory of an incident that happened long ago, Jyorta couldn't do anything about it.

Even if he was personally present in the scene, there wasn't anything he could do. The Lava Turtle was a Developer possessing an Unranked Skill. Unless he was a Wave Controller, he had a zero chance of survival against it.

But, through the memory, he obtained a lot of information about the working of the Lava Turtle's Unranked Skill, Ingrained Earth. The blue soul extracted all information related to the Unranked Skill, storing it in a different region.

Jyorta rolled on the grass a couple of times, inhaling the aroma that calmed his emotions, 'Since the Tier 1 Crust-Mantle was young, this incident seems more recent. But, I have no clue as to where it was present. It would prove more helpful if I could find its location.'

After one of its missions, the Tier 1 Crust-Mantle was injured. It was then transported to an underground area a long distance away. The underground area seemed near the surface. When it was recuperating, the ceiling collapsed as humans invaded and captured everyone present there.

The only clue Jyorta obtained was the sand that fell in through the collapsed ceiling. It meant the surface was a desert. 'Is it somewhere in the Thar Desert? But where exactly? The final location was only their resting place. They were transported a long distance to reach there. So, the actual location is somewhere else.'

When the humans invaded, the resting Crust-Mantles were quickly subdued. The Tier 1 Crust-Mantle immediately lost consciousness. When it regained consciousness, it found itself in the second layer of the labyrinth of Frenzy, underneath the military academy in the 7th Ring of Marble City.

Jyorta spent some time going through his memories, firming his mental state and inclination to humanity. He didn't wish for there to be any after-effects that would influence him subtly, making him hesitate when facing a Crust-Mantle.

He had to be in a constant state of alertness while comprehending the memories of others. A single mistake and he would turn into a different individual without even realising it. Thankfully, he had his ability of corrosion. It was his countermeasure against any external and unwanted influences.

'Is this the creepy-haired man's arrangement after he came to realise the issue with Gajara Rahi? To prevent me from ending up with a multiple-personality disorder, he gave me an ability to solve the issue?'

He then frowned, 'Just based on everything I have witnessed, an ability like teleportation goes beyond the capability of this era. So, how did he give Gajara Rahi such a powerful ability? In comparison, despite its wondrous uses, corrosion is pretty common. Many Frenzy Beasts have a corrosion-based ability. The only difference would be my vast range of applications.'

The blue soul spent some time comprehending his memories. Jyorta remembered the memory related to the Lava Turtle shaping its lava into human-like figures, and making them act disparaging to their image. When he thought about it, Jyorta felt anger.

He then recalled the scenes where he fought against the Crust-Mantles and other Frenzy Beasts, cross-referencing the emotions he felt to the ones he felt at the incident. When they were the exact same, Jyorta heaved a sigh of relief. 'I am ready now.'

Without a second of delay, the blue soul began to send the memory fragments of another Tier 1 Crust-Mantle to his brain. A couple of seconds later, his consciousness fell into another scene.

It was on a sandy mound, many times bigger than the previous one. It resembled a hill. Standing atop the sandy hill were hundreds of Tier 1 Crust-Mantles. Jyorta's consciousness looked afar, spotting massive shadows on the horizon.

They were straight lines, looking thick enough despite the long distance between them. The lower end of the thick lines proceeded into the sea while its upper end proceeded into the clouds. There were many such think lines littered over the sea, separated by even distances.

The clouds swiftly moved with the blowing wind. There was a small gap between the cluster of clouds. When they flowed past, the gap aligned with one of the thick lines, allowing the Tier 1 Crust-Mantle to gaze at its beyond.

It was a massive structure, the size of a hill. Even on a conservative measure, the structure was around 200 metres wide. It was a sphere, its define smudged by the distance and the refraction of the light, making it resemble a shadow.

The air was a mixture of blue, similar to the morning, making all the far-off objects look a blurry shade of blue. As the clouds moved past, the gap in them outlined numerous such spherical structures. There existed smaller spheres hovering beside each giant sphere, like the moon near the earth.

Further beyond, visible as faint shadows were even larger structures, their sizes becoming bigger and bigger towards the back, until resembling mountains. 'The territory of the Floating Spiders. Domineering indeed; as expected of the strongest Frenzy Beast race.'

Jyorta's Crust-Mantle form gazed towards its back, allowing his consciousness to witness a desert that stretched far beyond the horizon. Suddenly, a massive shadow cast over his view. Jyorta's Crust-Mantle form turned around, noticing a massive Crust-Mantle appear before.

Judging by its size, it was a Tier 5 being. The Tier 5 Crust-Mantle spoke through their signatory chirps, using the new language exclusive to them, "Our orders are to dig a tunnel whose entrance will face into the sea. Our Tier 4 brethren will take the lead with the digging while the Tier 3 brethren will fill in the gaps and support them. All Tier 2 are in charge of transporting the soil back to the surface and pouring them into the sea."

It spoke with a flurry of chirps, looking at the Tier 1 Crust-Mantle standing atop each sand hill, "Your task is to flatten the soil we pour into the sea. There will be some Tier 3 among you to relay instructions and harden the soil accordingly. Follow their orders and do your best to create an appropriate structure."

Its voice then turned gentle, almost pleading, "Whatever you do, never ever come into contact with the water. And most importantly, when you see a Floating Spider, never look into its eyes. Enter a submissive stance immediately, even if they are just Tier 1 Floating Spiders. Also, should they ever attack one of us, act as if you haven't seen it. Remember to follow my words if you don't wish for everyone to be exterminated."

Its chirps almost turned sorrowful, as if it was crying. Thankfully, they used a new language, so only the Crust-Mantles understood what it said. Moreover, their voices were similar to the chirps of a bird, the pitch always being the same. So, only the Crust-Mantle's could understand the underlying emotions based on the faint modulations.

Suddenly, a silk rope coiled around the Tier 5 Crust-Mantle, pulling it towards a spherical structure hidden within the clouds. A minute later, the Tier 5 Crust-Mantle landed at the foot of a sand hill, its face sporting a vicious gash.

The Tier 5 Crust-Mantle wheezed in pain, struggling to get up. Seeing its state, the Tier 1 Crust-Mantles cried out in agony, beginning to descent the sand hills. Suddenly, the Tier 5 Crust-Mantle let out a loud chirp, "Don't move. Remain in your positions. I am fine, I won't die from such an injury."

The Tier 5 Crust-Mantle weekly stood up, dragging its body towards its previous spot. Just by its stance alone, it was apparent it was gravely injured. Moreover, the moment it turned around, showing its back, all the Tier 1 Crust-Mantles shuddered in shock, looking at a massive hole on its back.

A large part of its flesh had seemingly been gorged out. The only thing left behind was a wriggling spine which was left undamaged. Whatever had attacked it had only left the spine and some vital organs necessary for survival untouched. It had gorged out as much of the Tier 5 Crust-Mantle's flesh as it could.

After arriving at its previous location, the Tier 5 Crust-Mantle turned around, facing the Tier 1 Crust-Mantles once again. Just when it uttered a word, its mandibles fell off, breaking down into three pieces when coming into contact with the ground.

While wheezing in pain, the Tier 5 Crust-Mantle chirped, "Remember to focus solely on your task. Ignore everything else."

The moment it said its words, Tier 3 Crust-Mantles arrived at the scene, with each climbing to the peak of a sand hill. A Tier 3 Crust-Mantle led all the Tier 1 Crust-Mantles on each sand hill towards the waters.

A large hole was being dug up 20 kilometres inland, with the Tier 2 Crust-Mantles transporting the soil and rocks from within towards the shores, piling it up into large hills. Each Tier 3 Crust-Mantle took charge of a hill, leading its group of Tier 1 Crust-Mantles.

They scaled its top and began to push the soil towards the waters, filling it up from the shore. As the soil turned wet, the Tier 1 Crust-Mantle used their body weight to harden them, forming a pavement as they proceeded further into the sea.

When it scaled to the peak, Jyorta's Crust-Mantle form gazed at the lone figure of the injured Tier 5 Crust-Mantle, watching it drag its body into the waters, in hopes of finding something to eat. Not one Crust-Mantle helped it, even though many shot pleading stares at it, wishing to help it.

The Tier 5 Crust-Mantle shook its head, warning them to proceed with their tasks, its entire figure a personification of sadness and despair.
