783 Heading For War
"There's only a year left for the Third Major Disaster to begin."
"One year is plenty enough." Brangara nodded as he inspected himself, smiling upon seeing the contents of his Astral World. Of the hundred Natures he could store there, sixty were Treasures—both Minor and Major.
Sixty!
That was the result of him digesting all the Empyrean Tusk corpses alongside an infinite supply of Parute Fruits. It was all in an effort to prepare himself to attain his strongest possible state in the given time limit.
Of the Minor Treasures, the majority of them were from Iron Grade Tangible Natures, with plenty of them having multiple copies.
Tangible Nature Minor Treasure—Satellite x4!
Tangible Nature Minor Treasure—Shredded Lunge x8!
Tangible Nature Minor Treasure—Prana Bomb x1!
Tangible Nature Minor Treasure—Bio-Synthesis x10!
Tangible Nature Minor Treasure—Statue x7!
Tangible Nature Minor Treasure—Drifting Tunnel x1!
Tangible Nature Minor Treasure—Eddy Blade x10!
Tangible Nature Minor Treasure—Prana Shock x10!
Tangible Nature Minor Treasure—Mud Ball x1!
Tangible Nature Minor Treasure—Whip Exhaustion x2!
This added to a total of 54 Iron Grade Tangible Nature Minor Treasures, an incomprehensible sum on the level of an Empire's accumulation. But this wasn't the end yet. There were also Silver Grade Tangible Nature Minor Treasures, for a total of four.
Tangible Nature Minor Treasure—Gracious Inheritor x2!
Tangible Nature Minor Treasure—Rocky Intimidation x1! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tangible Nature Minor Treasure—Linked Rupture x1!
Finally, there came his two, most precious Tangible Nature Major Treasures.
Tangible Nature Major Treasure—Internal Inertial Gravity x1!
Tangible Nature Major Treasure—Subtle Terrain Domination x1!
Armed with 58 Minor Treasures and 2 Major Treasures, Brangara was absolutely confident of his strength. He could permanently use them all without fear of them vanishing after use. Hence, he could fight as recklessly as he could.
After all, this was no different from him possessing 54 Iron Grade Natures, 4 Silver Grade Natures, and 2 Gold Grade Natures. Even this wasn't close to the pinnacle potential he could obtain, which was to have 100 Mystic Grade Tangible Nature Major Treasures.
The remaining forty slots contained his Gold Grade Tangible Natures, which had 33 Tangible Natures of Subtle Terrain Domination and 7 Tangible Natures of Internal Inertial Gravity. They were each at varying levels of the Life Stage and hadn't reached the 10-Life Stage yet.
"THERE IS!" Yarsha lost her cool, bellowing in rage, "I don't want to believe it's true, but there's a high chance they've captured your body. Who knows what they're attaining through it? But most of all,"
Her expression grew incensed, "They most probably wouldn't have missed the chance to kidnap Yamahara."
"Our SON might be suffering in their hands already!" Her eyes grew moist, raging further upon seeing that Brangara wasn't reciprocating enough. Her voice turned bone-chilling, her every word uttered slowly, brimming with menace, "Don't tell me...you forgot even him?"
"Of course...not!" Brangara grunted in irritation, "I haven't used my full powers recently. So, there's no reason I forgot something recently. And I am carrying an Information Slip with me all the time."
Saying so, he took out a piece of Sumatra Gold, "As you have mentioned previously, I'm recording everything in it. So even if I were to forget something, as long as I have this, I can remember everything once again."
"Then tell me this..." Yarsha Zahara stared deep into Brangara's eyes, "If the Mystic Seven were to do to our son what we did to Orakha..."
Boom!
The ground cracked as the Celestial Boar's presence billowed in absolute fury, causing all the Parute Trees in the region to wither instantly. Even the Sandy-Grey Void, the pillar of darkness created by it flickered in response to his presence.
Her feet dug into the collapsing ground as Yarsha Zahara was steadily pushed far away, her Prana riling up in response in an effort to protect herself. She stared at Brangara's absolutely incensed expression and heaved a sigh in relief, "You're still the man I know."
"I am," Brangara gradually calmed down and retracted his presence, waving his hand to disperse the projection of a Celestial Boar head that had appeared in the sky, like an aurora as a result of his presence emission.
Once he had calmed down, Brangara stared at Yarsha Zahara, huffing, "Don't do that again, please. When I seem like I'm not emotional, it's only because I'm using the influence from the Empyrean Snappers to suppress my feelings."
"Nothing has changed, whether it be my hatred for the Mammoth Clan, my hunger for Gannala, or my love towards you and our kids. Nothing has changed," His voice was almost a whisper as he embraced her, "I promise you this, Yarsha."
"I'll win, no matter what I must do, I will survive, I will kill the Mystic Seven, and I will protect us all." His expression hardened in resolve, "Currently, I'm the strongest I've ever been. So, it's high time we put an end to this war."
"I know," Yarsha Zahara tightened her hold over Brangara, "It's just...I'm scared. Ever since I've inhabited Maroppa's body, the mere thought of the Royal Zinger terrifies me. But I can't abandon this body, no matter what. It's extremely valuable."
She could simply try to expand the Sandy-Grey Void without limits, which would allow Sumatra's Transcendent Eater to stop the Sandy-Grey Void's expansion within Sumatra Continent by surrounding it with Parute Trees.
Basically, they'll obtain a massive farm of Parute Trees in this way, able to control exactly where they appear, without having to break any of the rules set by Sumatra.
15:35
If they were to create a large Parute Tree farm in the Varahan Empire, they'd succeed in creating the strongest Empire in the history of Sumatra, one that will continue to voraciously expand its influence and grow without limits.
It wasn't just that, but the combination of Orakha's and Maroppa's powers allowed Yarsha Zahara to rapidly modify Human Avatars and ingeniously fuse various powers into a unified whole. Whatever feats her Sumatra Chronicles self had accumulated and performed through great calculations, resource collection, and sheer perseverance were now cakewalk to her.
She could do it without any issues, which was why she valued Maroppa's body. Moreover, just the fact that it was a Mudropper meant they could freely travel through the Sandy-Grey Void using her powers, making it the most valuable even among strategic assets.
"Have faith in me and persevere. That's all I ask you, Yarsha." Brangara consoled her and seated her on his shoulder.
Tangible Nature Minor Treasure—Internal Inertial Gravity!
His figure flickered and sped forth, also using Subtle Terrain Domination to reduce air resistance to zero, allowing for smooth travel, "Where are we going first?"
"The Brimgan Empire, of course." Yarsha Zahara muttered in seriousness, "Harla Brimgan's Minor Treasures would prove pivotal in acquiring the Major Treasure of Weapon. Also,"
"I want to meet with Ruvva."
