Chapter 668 How Did You Achieve This?

Eight months after Virala arrived at the Dralh Sea, at a spot twenty kilometres from the Abyss Ring was the figure of the Mystic Ewworm, swimming desperately as hundreds of ropes made out of Mystic Eaters had latched onto it.

They were dragging an eight-kilometre-tall mountain that sported varying levels of damage. This mountain had once been growing on the back of an Empyrean Snapper. But after the Empyrean Snapper died and its body was consumed, the mountain was left strewn in the Dralh Sea.

There were plenty of such mountains, the largely intact ones numbering over forty. With Orakha's help, Virala had been pulling these mountains to the Abyss Ring, using them to patch up the holes along the ring.

This way, the water between the Abyss Fall and the rest of the Dralh Sea would be cut off, similar to when the Cooter Clan was managing the place, with the Empyrean Snappers clogging the gaps with their bodies.

Since he wished to establish his reign over the Dralh Sea, Virala had to work tirelessly for it. Thankfully, he had Orakha's help. Otherwise, this would have taken him anywhere from ten to twenty times the duration to repeat the same.

The deepest point of the Dralh Sea was at a depth of 22 kilometres. Even the tallest mountain grown by the Empyrean Snappers only reached a height of 10 kilometres. So, without help from the Mystic Eaters, it would have been harder for Virala to search them one by one.

After an hour's worth of travel, Virala reached the Abyss Ring, staring at a sea of mountain ranges occupying the place. Reverting to human form, he leapt across the closest mountain and arrived at its peak, soon spotting Orakha approaching him in awe, "How the fuck are you so fast?"

"The Phells act as my source of Prana. My Mystic Eaters can easily consume their Spirit Containers and gain enough energy to increase their numbers." Orakha commented in pride as he stared at the Abyss Ring which was now a series of mountain ranges built as concentric rings.

He then stared at the mountain pulled over by Virala, "That's the biggest mountain. I'm surprised you managed to pull it by yourself."

"I had to rely on psychokinesis to boost my physical abilities to its maximum." Virala grumbled, "It wouldn't have been possible otherwise. My back still hurts like shit."

"It's not something I can do, so it's still impressive," Orakha said as his Mystic Eaters swarmed the mountain on his command. A large group of them approached the seabed and scooped soil from there and piled them under the mountain.

Slowly, the base of the mountain extended until it made contact with the seabed. The Mystic Eaters executed the work similar to building a Human Avatar, hence they focused on the structural integrity of the place.

Once they were done, the mountain was as stable as having formed there from a volcanic eruption, cooled, and solidified over time.

"It's amazing no matter how many times I see it." Virala expressed his admiration. He worked on transporting the Empyrean Snapper mountains to the Abyss Ring where Orakha built them as part of the region.

Their goal was to create at least three concentric mountain ranges around the Abyss Ring, with a flat plain between each ring. Mystic Humans will live on these flat plains while the mountain ranges will serve as a natural mode of defence for them.

The ones living on the Abyss Ring itself will fight against the Phells and use the endless bombardment to train. It was the best means to accumulate battle experience.

Moreover, the reason Virala wanted Orakha to place the Empyrean Snapper mountains around the Abyss Ring was for one reason—Spirit Pools!

An Empyrean Snapper relied upon Subtle Terrain Domination to absorb nutrients from its surroundings. It consumed some and piled the wastage into a mineral deposit, which became the mountain on its back.

Of the nutrients it consumes, it sets aside a portion that is immersed with its Prana. It would filter them and concentrate a type of mineral across the mountain on its back, forming a Spirit Pool.

An Empyrean Snapper formed various Spirit Pools, allowing Cooter Clansmen to cultivate varying powers, increasing their versatility. If Rutham was available in the Dralh Sea, a relevant Spirit Pool could be built on an Empyrean Snapper's back mountain.

After all, Virala wasn't worried about losing any of his accumulations. Even the Parute Seeds could only be consumed by a Mystic Human to gain the power of a Spirit Eater. If anyone else consumed it, they'd only gain the power of a Parute Tree and become subject to the control of Sumatra's Transcendent Eater.

The Natures of the two Pranic Beasts will manifest and wrestle control over the body, rupturing it from the inside with their exponentially spiking influence.

Virala was the one who created the Mystic Grade Nature of Weaponisation. So, he understood it the best. Moreover, it was by using it as fuel that he created Mystic Humans.

Therefore, Gannala's Weaponisation was incapable of taking advantage of his powers. This confidence was what allowed Virala to reveal his plans to Orakha without worries. One, Orakha will figure it out eventually anyway. Two, they had plenty of reasons to collaborate in the future.

So, it was to Virala's advantage that Orakha knew what was happening at the place. It was why he had been taking measures to have a good relationship with Orakha, despite their differences.

"Instead of explaining, it's best to show it to you." Virala said and transformed into a Mystic Eater, "Climb aboard."

"Alright," Orakha jumped onto the back of the Mystic Ewworm and used a bunch of Mystic Eaters to form a saddle.

"..." Virala stared at the saddle for a few seconds before beginning to slither across the Dralh Sea like a marine serpent. Four days of travel later, they arrived at Tez Island.

"Come in," Virala assumed human form and kicked aside the boulder blocking the entrance to the island's mine. As Orakha followed him, Virala entered the mine and stared at the seventeen-year-old boy who emanated a potent presence, one expressing his individuality.

"My Deity!" The seventeen-year-old boy kneeled on the ground upon seeing Virala, barely able to control his jubilation, "I succeeded!"

"Congratulations!" Virala said with a smile and stared at Orakha, "I'll show you the powers I have prepared exclusively for my Mystic Humans."

"Okay," Orakha nodded with a bated breath, already aware of how Mystic Humans worked. He gained all the necessary knowledge from Ruvva. So, he knew that a Mystic Human was as strong as the Pranic Beasts they fuse with.

Ruvva had fused with an Empyrean Tusk and an Apogee Bludder, Gold and Mystic Grade Pranic Beasts respectively. With her talents inherited from Yarsha Zahara, she could unleash the Primary Nature of the Apogee Bludder.

Once she reaches maturity, she'll be stronger than a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast.

Similarly, Virala had fused with the Mystic Ewworm and the legendary Empyrean Boar King. Both the father and daughter duo were fully harnessing the capabilities of Mystic Humans. But of course, that opportunity wouldn't come to everyone.

But considering how confident Virala was, he must have prepared the next best thing for all the Mystic Humans.

"Here," Virala gave the Parute Seed to the seventeen-year-old boy, "Follow the process recorded in Mystic Nature Art. This will be your first body."

"Yes, My Deity!" The seventeen-year-old boy nodded respectfully and seeped his Prana into the Parute Seed, refining it through Mystic Nature Art. Once fully refined, it fused with his Spirit Container.

Secondary Body—Spirit Eater!

Immediately in response, upon seeing Virala smile at him, the seventeen-year-old boy nodded and assumed his transformation. Roots jutted into the ground as a stalk grew tall, reaching a height of twenty metres, atop which a carnivorous mouth appeared.

"This is...damn!" Orakha was stunned by the transformation, staring at the Spirit Eater in a daze, "How the fuck did you achieve this?"
