Chapter 830: Root Strikes
Tangible Nature-Tangible Psychokinesis x80!
Tangible Nature-Inhibition Bomb x8!
Tangible Nature-Prana Stitch X1!
Tangible Nature-Accel Growth x1!
Tangible Nature-Biome Nature x1!
Tangible Nature-Homing Satellite x1!
Tangible Nature-Prison Bomb x6!
Tangible Nature-Accel Hurl x2!
All 100 Natures had been elevated to the 10-Life Stage in the Zinger World. Of them, Prana Stitch was a Mystic Grade Nature. Inhibition Bomb, Accel Growth, Accel Hurl, Biome Nature, Homing Satellite, and Prison Bomb were Gold Grade Natures. Finally, the most numerous, Tangible Psychokinesis was a Silver Grade Nature.
Pretty much all the currently developed Quip Clan Natures had been accumulated within Root. It would have been better if he also had Perfect Biome Domination. But currently, only the Royal Zinger had it. No other Quip Clansman managed to obtain this Nature.
Therefore, if Root had to accumulate it, that would imply having a Tangible Nature of Royal Zinger in his Zinger World, which wasn't possible, since Inala was already at the 10-Life Stage. In the future, if a Zinger Aristocrat manages to obtain the Silver Grade version of Perfect Biome Domination, then Root will immediately gain the qualification to create Silver Grade Tangible Natures of Perfect Biome Domination.
As for Mystic Royalty, that was a Royal Zinger exclusive Nature. So, the Tangible Nature with that power could only be the Royal Zinger. Thereby, Inala made plans to ensure Root's current power was maximised for his intended purpose, which was to primarily restrain the Celestial Boar.
Throughout the fight, Root had been hiding underground, experiencing the ongoing fight with his body every time an earthquake ruptured the underground spot he was hiding at. Moreover, as the Celestial Boar moved around, Root too kept pace underground.
This way, the moment he needed to take action, he could do so. And then, the moment he heard his Deity's shriek, he sprang into action.
Astral World-Accel Growth!
This boosted his Spirit Weapon range from 180 metres to 270 metres.
Astral World-Tangible Psychokinesis x80!
Astral World-Prana Stitch!
Each of his string of Prana could reach a length of 270 metres. However, with Prana Stitch at the Mystic Grade, he could stitch together 16 strings of Prana into one. That resulted in a string of Prana 4.32 kilometres long. He could simultaneously wield five such strings.
Not only were these strings long, the sheer amount of psychokinesis concentrated in them was overwhelming. After all, they were 16 strings that had been stitched into one.
Even Zinger Aristocrats experienced a significant boost in power once the stitched the two strings of Prana they could maintain at a time-without a drop in efficiency of psychokinesis -into one through Prana Stitch.
Stitching 16 strings allowed an output on the level of Gold Grade. And there were five of them to boot. Of course, just Tangible Psychokinesis, even if elevated to the Gold Grade, was nothing to the Celestial Boar who was tanking the likes of Attributed Regions without dying even once. Therefore, there was more.
Astral World-Inhibition Bomb x8!
Inhibition Bombs were the Quip Clan's equivalent of a Millinger's Secondary Nature of Inhibition Dome. Inhibition Dome was limited to the Spirit Weapon Range. Inhibition Bomb was pretty much a Biome bomb with the power of an Inhibition Dome integrated into it. It could be thrown.
Activating eight of them resulted in an absolute domain, similar to the effects of Subtle Terrain Domination, but one that inhibited all effects of Natures. Of course, it was always best to go a step above.
Astral World-Prana Stitch!
The eight Inhibition Bombs were stitched into a singular whole while ensuring the absolute domain was seamlessly integrated and strengthened as compared to before. This resulted in a summation of their volume eight times, forming an Inhibition Bome large enough to trap the Celestial Boar while keeping the absolute domain of inhibition active and also leaving enough room for the others to face Brangara.
At the end of each string of Prana was such a stitched Inhibition Bomb, numbering five in total. Root burst out of the ground and hurled one of them with all his might.
Astral World-Accel Hurl x2!
The string of Prana was still connected to it while the Inhibition Bomb quickly crashed into the battlefield and enveloped the region surrounding Brangara. And then, any semblance of Prana that was being released by the Celestial Boar dissipated and scattered into the walls of the Inhibition Bomb where they were spontaneously absorbed, further fuelling the ability.
"What is that?" Root's appearance stunned everyone at the scene. After all, he was a Celestial Boar that was brimming with the powers of the Royal Zinger and the Transcendent Eater, a self-sufficient ultimate predator.
Unlike Brangara whose peak strength was entirely dictated by the enemies he faced and consumed, Root could casually sit in a corner and keep accumulating powerful Natures. Currently, in the absence of the Royal Zinger, there was a total of 3 Mystic Grade Natures that Root could accumulate.
Mystic Royalty, Perfect Biome Domination, and Prana Stitch. If in the future, a Quip Clansman manages to enter the Mystic Grade without becoming the Royal Zinger, it meant adding one more Mystic Grade Nature, all of which could be elevated to the 10-Life Stage and turned into a Major Treasure.
The strongest Major Treasure that Brangara had created were only Internal Inertial Gravity and Subtle Terrain Domination. They were Gold Grade Major Treasures.
None of the Celestial Boar's enemies had a lone Mystic Grade Nature that he could consume. Thereby, just by simple comparison, Root had actualised more potential than Brangara.
Theoretically, the Celestial Boar could wield 100 Mystic Grade Major Treasures, by then becoming the strongest existence even outside Sumatra. However, no Mystic Grade existence would be vulnerable enough to be consumed by the Celestial Boar. So, this was an unattainable future.
But Root had a genuine shot at it, thanks to the Quip Clan. Unless the Quip Clan doesn't get annihilated, it was just a matter of time, thousands of years into the future when they have Mystic Grade existences among them. Root would be able to condense their Mystic Grade Natures immediately after they are conceptualised.
If they weren't bound by rules such as the Royal Zinger, there only needs to be one other Mystic Grade existence in the Quip Clan. And then, Root could condense 100 versions of the same Mystic Grade Nature. And he could elevate them all to the 10-Life Stage and turn them into Major Treasures.
Heck, even currently, he could do that with Mystic Grade Prana Stitch. And as long as another existence manages to somehow obtain a Mystic Grade Perfect Biome Domination, Root could
use it too.
As a result, the moment Root revealed himself, everyone observing Kalahatra Desert burst out with cold sweat, especially the Transcendents, not those from Sumatra Continent, but the invaders. Immediately in their minds, the threat level posed by the Quip Clan increased to a
whole other level.
But an instant later, they were stunned, for Sumatra Continent itself had taken action in response. It strengthened the protective barrier enveloping it, now cutting off the senses of
the Transcendents too.
Before, Sumatra's Transcendents only couldn't communicate with the cultivators on the Continent. But now, they couldn't even observe anything.
[Sumatra has judged that the details of this fight are too valuable to reveal to the others. However, it revealed Root for an instant just to threaten the invaders, that this is what they could expect to be killed by the moment they dare invader the Continent.]
Sumatra's Transcendent Eater thought as it turned its gaze away from Sumatra Continent and focused on the invaders. It had to rely on the primitive methods of sight similar to other Transcendents to watch the fight on Kalahatra Desert.
After all, both versions of Blola had eradicated all Parute Trees in the region, turning Sumatra's Transcendent Eater helpless, 'Especially that new Blola. He didn't just mess with my senses but even stole a portion of revival data that I had been accumulating all along.'
While waves were formed among the Transcendents thanks to the appearance of Root, the battle hadn't changed much even after Root's participation. After all, they were unable to damage the Celestial Boar's mind enough.
Or rather, they had severely underestimated the recovery capacity of a 9-Life Stage Celestial
Boar.
Dozens of abilities were constantly getting activated, only for the Prana forming them to be dispersed and absorbed by the Inhibition Bombs. However, that didn't matter, as Unlimited Predator was active.
It appeared once and chomped on a chunk of the Inhibition Bomb, tearing it apart, opening
gaps in the inhibition effect.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Minor Treasure-Shredded Lunge x8!
The Celestial Boar's figure vanished, breaking free from all restrains. Immediately in
response, the absolute domain of Subtle Terrain Domination recovered, using which the needle of Bolt of Transcendence was pulled out.
But before the Celestial Boar could exert control over it, the nail turned into a lightning bolt
and flew into Inala's possession.
"So, that's what you've turned my last body into!" Brangara's voice reverberated as suddenly,
his upper body was slashed off and kicked away. It was the one where Resha had occupied the
head.
Now, without Resha's interference, the upper body regenerated instantaneously as the Celestial Boar reverted to human form and landed a couple kilometres away. His mind had managed to recover faster than expectations, which allowed him to actively control his
abilities.
'Every single one of them is terrifyingly powerful.' Brangara kept using the eight Minor Treasures of Shredded Lunge to remain on the run, watching the Kinesis Felines keep pace with him while riding their back were the Mystic Seven in human forms.
'I need to buy some time to recover fully.' Brangara frowned as he placed a hand on his
stomach and felt searing pain from there. There was needle-sized hole in his Astral World. Unlike his body, it wasn't recovering.
To mend the damage, he would have to spend years while delicately employing Subtle Terrain
Domination in its absolute state. He didn't have that luxury of time, 'Damn! Inala, that bastard! He's extremely quick to adapt!'
The reason Brangara wasn't afraid of exposing Astral World was thanks to the combined
defences of the 9-Life Stage Astral World and Unlimited Predator endlessly being maintained
in it.
Thanks to Unlimited Predator, Brangara didn't have to be afraid of living beings, since he could digest them and their attacks. The only one he was concerned about were Free Humans,
since in their Human Avatar forms, they were mere mineral clumps that couldn't be digested.
Among the Free Humans, only the Brimgan Royals were worthy of his consideration. That was why when he infiltrated the Brimgan Empire, Brangara purposefully revealed Astral World towards Harla Brimgan. It was to see if her strongest attack could damage Astral World since Unlimited Predator wouldn't be able to consume her Spirit Weapon.
And then and there, he confirmed the superiority of his Astral World's defences. Forget Harla
Brimgan. Even Boul Brimgan's Deity Fusion form's strongest attack, the Empyrean Supreme's world-bearing stomp, Inala's Attributed Region attacks, and Barla's Astral Puncture managed to damage Astral world.
At the thought of Astral Puncture, Brangara's eyes trailed upon the figure of Barla riding a
Kinesis Feline, glaring at him with the intent to him. Subconsciously, he clutched his stomach where it hurt, feeing both anger and pride, 'That damn daughter of mine!'
He was angry because Barla was trying to kill him. No matter what, everything he had done to
his Clansmen could be considered a family matter. Brangara was willing to accept his punishment from his Clansmen for what he had done to the Boar Kings.
If Barla wanted to kill him for that, he would accept it without fighting. Rather, he had already
accepted that when he faced his three sons of Brana, Braga, and Baga. However, the fact that Barla was doing that shit while in the presence of external enemies was what incensed him, 'You can kill me after we destroy these bastards! Think of our Clansmen waiting back home!'
Contrastingly enough though, the reason for his pride too stemmed from Barla. After all, the ability that managed to damage his Astral World was none other than Astral Puncture. It had
used Inala's Bolt of Transcendence and mixed it into a part of its own, further spiking its puncture capabilities.
'Currently, in all of Sumatra, the one boasting the strongest attack is none other than my daughter!' He was feeling a multitude of emotions. However, in the end, his thoughts process devolved into simple basics for anything unrelated to fighting.
If someone were to attack him, he would retaliate, without exceptions, 'Barla has ten lives.
She could afford to lose a few.'
Minor Treasure-Prana Shock x10!
Through Subtle Terrain Domination, he controlled his Prana Shock and added its power into
Shredded Lunge, allowing him to speed up further the moment the Kinesis Felines closed in on him. 'I still need to buy time to recover fully.'
Gradually, a sentient glint of intelligence began to return to his eyes as the pair observed the
situation before falling upon the cube formed by the Transcendent Eater's roots, 'And, that
must be where Yarsha is stuck. Blola must be gradually weakening her. Once she's exhausted, he'll kill her.'
'Then, I guess it's time to use it.' Thinking as such, Brangara took out two whips and glared at the Kinesis Felines beginning to catch up once again, even after he was moving at hypersonic speeds, 'Time to exhaust them!'
