'Gurgle~'
As the three Golden-Haired Giant Ape plunged into the Blood Pool, the still, windless Blood Pool began to boil violently.
The three Golden-Haired Giant Ape had their eyes tightly closed as streams of Water of Mana tore their flesh apart, endless energy flowing into their bodies.
Soon the boiling Blood Pool returned to calm, and three enormous crimson cocoons stood silently in the Blood Pool.
The blinding light emanating from the Crimson Believer Conversion Pool quickly softened, and dazzling streams of light occasionally flashed across the surface patterns of the Conversion Pool.
The Golden-Haired Giant Ape that arrived later looked at the suddenly appearing enormous Altar with fear, not daring to take a single step closer.
Richard sat cross-legged in mid-air, stroking his smooth chin, finding the octagonal stone Altar increasingly awkward.
Immediately afterward, with a thought, the terrain of the octagonal Altar began to slowly rise.
When it rose higher than the surrounding mountains, the Altar finally came to a stop.
Richard snapped his the Snap, and floating stone steps, arranged in a staggered pattern, appeared around the Altar, descending from high to low.
"Hmm, this Altar looks a bit plain..."
He thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up. "I've got it!"
Richard opened a Portal, reached inside, and retrieved Silver Briefcase from his Dormitory in Kamar-Taj.
He opened his briefcase, took out the pale gold Human Sovereign Banner, and casually swiped it onto the Altar.
The Human Sovereign Banner was planted directly into one corner of the Altar.
Richard clenched his palm inward and raised it as if to lift it up. Seven smaller Seven-Colored Long Banner, each slightly smaller than the Human Sovereign Banner, quickly rose from the remaining seven corners of the Altar.
Eight long banners fluttered and rustled in the wind.
"This looks a little better..."
At this moment, the three Crimson Cocoon in the Blood Pool underwent an unusual change.
'Click! Click! Click!'
Cracks began to appear on the surface of the large cocoon, and in the blink of an eye, dense cracks covered the entire cocoon.
"Roar!"
The large cocoon in the middle broke first, and a Golden-Haired Giant Ape, more than five meters tall, stood proudly in the Blood Pool, roaring excitedly.
"Roar! Roar!"
Almost simultaneously, the remaining two large cocoons also shattered, and two Golden-Haired Giant Ape, each over four meters tall, roared and pounded their chests.
"Shut up!"
The first five-meter-tall giant ape to emerge punched the two four-meter-tall giant apes on the head, baring its teeth and scolding them.
The two four-meter-tall giant apes were half-crouched in the Blood Pool, covering their heads, tears welling up in their eyes.
"Fun! Fun!"
Richard descended from the sky, landing directly above the giant apes.
He could clearly sense the familiar Crimson Mana Fluctuation emanating from the three transformed giant apes.
It seems the transformation was very successful?!
"Roar (Father God!)"
Upon seeing Richard, the three Golden-Haired Giant Ape immediately knelt respectfully in the Blood Pool.
"Father God?"
Richard frowned slightly; something sounded Guagua...
Why do you call me Father God?
The three Golden-Haired Giant Ape looked at each other, and the leader of the three respectfully replied, "Roar (You are the creator)!"
"Roar (It is the great Father God of all life)!"
"The Creator?" Richard exclaimed in realization, "So that's how it is. After I become the Lord of Crimson, all life in this Crimson Dimension will naturally worship me as the Lord of Dimension..."
He raised his hand and moved the three Golden-Haired Giant Ape from the Blood Pool to outside the Conversion Pool.
Do the three of you have names?
The Golden-Haired Giant Ape looked at each other, but the leader, a five-meter-tall giant ape, was the most intelligent. He immediately kowtowed to the ground and respectfully said, "We humbly beg our Father God to bestow names upon us!"
The other two giant apes reacted a beat slower, but they followed suit and knelt behind their leader, crying out, "We beg the Father God to bestow names upon us!"
"Huh?" Richard was taken aback, then chuckled, "Good, good, good, as expected of primates, their brains are indeed clever..."
He thought for a moment, then pointed at the resolute-faced giant ape leader and said mischievously, "Since you're the leader, let's call you Sarutobi Hiruzen..."
The five-meter-tall Golden-Haired Giant Ape was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Father God, for giving me a name! Thank you, Father God, for giving me a name!"
He suddenly leaped up from the Altar, waving his arms and shouting excitedly, "I have a name now! I'm called Sarutobi Hiruzen, hahahahaha~"
The other two four-meter-tall Golden-Haired Giant Ape apes looked at Richard pitifully, as if to say: What about us? What are our names?
Richard scratched his head and simply pointed to the long-browed giant ape on the left, saying, "Your name is Zousuke Sarutobi!"
The giant ape on the left bowed joyfully and said, "Thank you, Father God, for bestowing upon us this name!"
Richard then pointed to the somewhat gloomy-looking giant ape on the right and said, "Your name is Danzo Sarutobi!"
The giant ape on the right bowed joyfully and said, "Thank you, Father God, for bestowing upon us this name!"
"Alright, alright~" Richard waved his hand and said, "Now that the three of you have successfully transformed, go down and unify the entire Golden Ape Valley. From now on, the Golden Ape Clan will be the guardians of this Transformation Altar ~"
The Golden Ape leader respectfully kowtowed and said, "Yes, Father God! My Golden Ape Clan swears to protect the safety of the Transformation Altar!"
Richard nodded in satisfaction and said, "Go. If I am satisfied with the Golden Ape Clan's work in protecting them, then for every hundred sunsets and sunrises, you will be rewarded with one transformation slot."
Upon hearing this, the Golden Ape leader perked up, revealing boundless joy. "Thank you, Father God! Thank you, Father God!"
Three Golden Ape turned and leaped off the Altar, nimbly bounding along the suspended stone steps to the ground.
The surrounding Golden Ape looked at the three enormous figures of the Golden Ape leader with awe.
The Golden Ape leader raised his head and roared:
"Roar (All Golden Ape Clan, gather here!)!"
With this roar, Golden Ape Valley erupted once more, and countless Golden Ape converged from all directions.
Richard listened to the Transformation Altar, chuckled, and pulled two Sealing Spirit Orb from his pocket.
This is the Source Star World, the remnant souls of the Old Tree and the Red-Tailed Squirrel Feny. He didn't choose to send them into the Human Sovereign Banner because he hoped to resurrect them one day.
Legend has it that the Angel Conversion Pool in Heaven can resurrect angels. Does the Crimson Believer Conversion Pool he created also have a similar resurrection effect?
Richard looked at the two Sealing Spirit Orb in his hands, his expression hesitant. If they succeeded, all would be well; but if they failed, the remnant souls of Old Tree and Feny might never be restored...
He thought it over and over, but still dared not take the risk. He could only sigh softly, "Oh well, there will always be other opportunities for resurrection in the future..."
Richard put away the Sealing Spirit Orb again, and with a thought, he teleported directly back to Tara.
After quickly tidying up the secluded Secret Chamber, Richard teleported back to the Sky Fortress.
As soon as they appeared, the White Queen's anxious voice rang out.
" Richard, Richard, something terrible has happened! Clea and Vivian have been captured by S.H.I.E.L.D..!"
