"Man...he's absolutely broken." Inala said as he stared at the vegetative state of Brangara, one that couldn't despite his Spirit Container circulating Prana across his body.
Prana had the capability to bring one to their natural state eventually. And the higher the quality of Prana one possessed, the faster this process occurred. However, in Brangara's case, that was no longer applied to his memory, for every piece of data stored in his mindspace had been extracted by Virala.
Therefore, even if Brangara's Prana wanted to recover his memories, it couldn't, as it no longer had any information to feed his brain. However, that was the basic understanding till now as Inala used Perfect Biome Domination to observe Brangara, 'He's a living Major Treasure. There's no guarantee that he cannot recover his memoires through some reason.'
As Brangara's power operated beyond Sumatra's power system, Inala understood that he couldn't use his existing logic to assuredly claim the figure before him will remain in a vegetative state indefinitely.
It was just a matter of when Brangara would recover and not how. 'So, before something like that happens, I need to extract everything of value.'
Secondary Nature-Perfect Biome Domination!
Inala funnelled Prana into Brangara, filling up the latter's Spirit Container and then focused, wondering if it might be possible. There was a surge of Prana in the Spirit Container, following which nothing happened.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Too late, huh?" Inala clicked his tongue. He wanted to condense a second body of Brangara here, one he intended to maintain in an unmature state. This way, the main body of Brangara would no longer be able to build bodies anymore.
However, when he attempted the process, he realised that a new body had already been created by the main body of Brangara. "Seems he realised something was up and has taken precaution."
When they were targeting this body of Brangara, Inala noticed the possibility that the body of Brangara before them could condense a body. It was his plan to form a second body of Brangara after capturing him, for that was the best way to restrict his growth.
However, he couldn't take chances at that time, since creating a second body would allow Brangara to summon an infinite number of Bolts of Transcendents, way beyond what Inala could handle, even if he exhausted all his accumulations.
So, he couldn't take the risk until he surfed through Brangara's data and determine what the latter was fully capable of first. And after that, Virala had to use his Mystic Human Stamp to extract all of Brangara's memories and turn him into a vegetable.
Only past that point did Inala deem it safe to experiment with Brangara. Unfortunately, the main body of Brangara didn't take any chances and immediately condensed a new body.
"It's indeed unfortunate," Inala sighed and began to extract Brangara's Prana and Lifespan. He also took out an orb that funnelled Prana and Lifespan into the latter, using his body like a filter to obtain Mystic Grade Prana and Lifespan, the best of the very best.
This allowed him to accumulate an infinite supply of them, which he planned to do before his main fight against the Celestial Boar.
Primary Nature-Voracious Cultivator!
Secondary Nature-Astral World!
Tertiary Nature-Major Treasure!
Major Treasure-Tangible Nature!
"Voracious Cultivator consumes and nurtures a Nature through the Life Stage. However, the Major Treasure of Tangible Nature is what turns the consumed Nature into a Tangible Nature. And most of all, Astral World creates a place where the Tangible Natures could live and be nurtured through the Life Stage." Inala muttered, "The three Natures are pieces of a whole."
"Basically, it's one Nature that has been broken down into three Mystic Grade Natures." Inala smiled wryly, "That's what makes him a broken existence, even at my current level."
Decades back, Inala figured out that Brangara wasn't even making use of a portion of his potential as the Empyrean Boar King. An Empyrean Boar King who had reached his full potential could easily destroy every single existence that stood in its path.
It was just a dialogue used in Sumatra Chronicles, claiming the Empyrean Boar King from the Fourth Major Disaster could kill Iron Transcendents and even weak Silver Transcendents. This was just by a full-powered Empyrean Boar King, but not an Empyrean Boar King at the peak of his potential.
Astral Chart was capable of storing even Mystic Grade Natures. Basically, at peak potential, even if he had gone insane, the Empyrean Boar King ought to carry 100 Mystic Grade Natures.
Forget plans, schemes, and tactics. Just the sheer influence generating out of the insane Empyrean Boar King might surpass the strength of Gold Transcendents and even grow strong enough to harm a Mystic Transcendent.
This was merely by filling Astral Chart with 100 Mystic Grade Natures. If the Natures were optimised into energy variants that complemented the effects of each other and could also stack, that's when the full potential of the Empyrean Boar King was realised.
What about the Celestial Boar then?
Any Tangible Nature it possessed could be nurtured to the 10-Life Stage and then turned into
"Yeah..." Boul Brimgan nodded, recalling one of Brangara's memories from when he was experimenting his powers.
It was a simple experiment. Brangara simply severed his head, but then, another head grew
back. He didn't die. His Prana quality was high enough to regenerate a lost head while perfectly maintaining all of his body's functions.
The mind aspect of his Prana was robust enough to carry enough information that it could maintain the function of all the organs until a new brain was regenerated.
The second experiment was to destroy both the head and the heart. Without the Spirit
Container in the heart, the body wouldn't have enough Prana to survive. That was the original
assumption.
"But just the Prana circulating through his bloodstream was able to regenerate both a head
and a heart." Boul Brimgan sighed, "In the human form, he'll die. But in the Celestial Boar form, he'll live."
"Yes, and this was when he experimented upon a newly condensed body, and not one that had reached maturity." Inala nodded, "Moreover, it was a lone body and not one with the Life Stage stack."
"His regeneration would be even faster in the Life Stage." Boul Brimgan groaned, asking
after another hour of silence, "So, what do you think?"
"Can we win?"
"Why are you asking me the same repeatedly?" Inala groaned, turning silent after that. The
duo stared at the ceiling in silence as usual. A whole four hours passed this time, at the end of which Inala muttered, "There's only one way we can win."
"So you indeed had a plan." Boul Brimgan muttered softly, letting out a mild smile, "And
that is?"
"In death, there is honour." Inala let out a soft sigh, hesitant as he stared at the wall that had broken down after Virala had been sent flying out by Boul Brimgan. He slowly walked towards
it and peered out to observed the Brimgan Empire's Capital City of Boul, "This is a beautiful city."
The picturesque buildings, the skyline, the vast Northern Lakes at the background, and the vibrant culture of the place enamoured him, "I can easily spend a few decades doing nothing but admiring this view. It's...that beautiful."
He then slowly flew out and stared at the sky, observing the Transcendent Worlds as a thin
streak of tears slid down his eyes, "My law states that I alone am the Royal Zinger. So, the moment another Royal Zinger appears, I'll be reborn."
"But that'll be as the Deity of the Quip Clan. I'll be influenced to become their Deity, an
omniscient entity that caters to the demands of its Clan." He muttered, "That will indeed be
Inala, but..."
His expression drooped, "It won't be me, one who likes to travel Sumatra."
As his figure landed on the ceiling of the Brimgan Palace, a golden figure condensed behind
him, forming the image of Boul Brimgan as Inala spoke softly, "There's a way."
"But there's no me beyond that."
