842 Countdown From 60
60 minutes!
Virala continued to blast Spirit Puppets at most of the Satellites and thwarted them. Whenever possible, he used a Mystic Ewworm Spirit Puppet to tie up a group of Satellites, making it easy for Barla to destroy them all with a single attack.
50 minutes!
Sweat dripped down Yahard Tusk's forehead as he continued to cough out blood nonstop, feeling intense pain as he began to destroy the tenth Minor Treasure of Orakha's Checkpoint. Unlike with the previous Minor Treasures, the final one was causing too many problems.
When he destroyed the first Minor Treasure, he only felt a heart ache. Upon destruction of the second one, the ache intensified a bit. It continued to spike with the subsequent destruction of every Minor Treasure of Orakha's Checkpoint.
However, the pain appeared only after a Minor Treasure was destroyed. The final one, though, was different. The moment he began to damage it, a searing sensation wrecked his body, making him feel as if he was targeting himself.
The Nature of Daily Checkpoint had been connected with the Minor Treasure of Orakha's Checkpoint. And currently, Daily Checkpoint was his Tertiary Nature. That meant every damage done to the Minor Treasure was being conducted into his Spirit Container, through which his body, mind, and soul were suffering harm.
"Hurry!" Yennda expressed his fluster upon seeing the Prana levels emitted by Brangara continue to spike, "He'll recover soon."
"I'm...trying!" Yahard Tusk groaned as his body shivered nonstop. Patches of his skin fell off and regrew. If not for his Mystic Grade Prana, he would have already died from the damage he was sustaining every second.
40 minutes!
"Tch!" Boul Brimgan clicked his tongue as he pointed his idle hand towards the Astral World and unleashed a beam of destructive energy, seeing it fail to damage Astral World, 'I'm still not strong enough to harm Astral World.'
The current Boul Brimgan was strong enough to go toe-to-toe with the Sumatra Chronicles' endgame Empyrean Boar King, and win. He would be destroyed in close-combat, but Boul Brimgan had a range of 180 kilometres.
It would take him months, but by the end of it, he would succeed in killing the Empyrean Boar King. Meaning, he was capable of killing Iron Transcendents and even face off against weak Silver Grade Transcendents.
In his Deity Fusion state, he was already the fastest individual on Sumatra. His State of Harmony form was even stronger. But even with such terrifying might, he was unable to destroy Astral World. Forget destroying or damaging it, he couldn't even scratch it.
And even when he tried to target the gap in Astral World, a barrier of Unlimited Predator protected it. He could drill through it, but by the time he could breakthrough, Astral World would have turned to face the opposite direction.
Usually, this manoeuvre was nothing, as Boul Brimgan needed less than a fraction of a second to appear on the other side. However, if he were to do that, it would imply moving his hand—that was targeting Brangara's Spirit Container.
Shifting it would mean it would have to cut through a section of Brangara's chest. If the beam was even delayed by a bit somewhere, it would allow the Spirit Container to recover and maintain itself for the respective duration, which would hasten the recovery of Brangara's mind.
Hence, he couldn't take the chance. They barely had enough time as is. Resha needed as much time as possible to recover, so that he could tank the heavy attacks of Brangara and provide opportunities for Boul Brimgan, Barla, and Virala to launch sneak attack.
'I need to be faster!' Boul Brimgan frowned as he focused on his Kinesis Beyblade, 'And before I finish refining it, I need to adjust my Secondary Nature so that even with a single Kinesis Beyblade added into the mix, I can still maintain my State of Harmony.'
"The real battle is yet to begin!" He muttered and fainted, giving an order to his subordinates in the blood sea, "Wake me up in twenty minutes even if you have to break my limbs. No matter what, ensure I wake up on time!"
10 minutes!
The Biome Bombs were working in a flurry as Blola was still nervous. He wanted to participate in the fight more and honestly had enough power to do so too. However, his build was the weakest against the Celestial Boar's Unlimited Predator.
He would be mere food for the latter. And worst of all, he could be consumed and turned into a Tangible Nature.
The moment Brangara obtains his power as a Tangible Nature, things were pretty much done for this side. Their means to win instantly became zero.
Therefore, all Blola could do was to act as a passive generate of Prana while everyone else risked their lives, 'I am the one with the power to take a serious beating and shrug it off like nothing. Unless I'm completely obliterated, I can recover to full capacity from a single root strand. And with my current capacity that is no longer limited, it takes me less than three seconds to go from a piece of root to a full body.'
He would be sucking the entire region dry during the process, but Blola could recover endlessly. And he only needed to expand his roots further for more resources. With the full potential of a Transcendent Eater, Blola only needed a day to spread his roots across Sumatra Continent.
But his build was hard-countered by Brangara, so it was a frustrating situation for him, 'Even in the Transcendent World, the Transcendent Eater is one of the strongest entities. It's a source of power and only the strongest among Mystic Transcendents could ever hope to defeat one, not to mention kill it.'
'Dammit!' He could only curse mentally.
And soon, time had run out as Yahard Tusk was extremely flustered, still needing a bit more time to destroy the last Minor Treasure of Orakha's Checkpoint, "Shit!"
"Why does an hour feel like a couple of minutes?" Virala cursed, already tired by now. And right as he had said so, a tremendous level of presence burst out of Brangara.
Suddenly, like a bullet being launched, Astral World burst out of Brangara's body and flew away, following which it unleashed a ginormous pillar into the sky. A fraction of a second later, a new body of Brangara had formed.
A destructive beam impacted him and rapidly dug into his chest, striking his Spirit Container. However, before it could be destroyed, Brangara succeeded in assuming Celestial Boar form, now able to tank the attack enough to unleash his absolute domain.
"You guys had fun violating my body for an hour!" His expression was incensed as he glared at everyone, bellowing as his sheer presence ignited the surroundings into a sea of flames. A ginormous Celestial Boar aurora formed in the sky, passively suppressing everyone, making their Prana flow five percent slower than before, which was extremely dangerous since they needed all their strength to even handle his attacks.
"Now, it's my turn!" He roared as the pillar of light began to curve around him, enveloping his Spirit Weapon range.
State of Unity—Unlimited Predator!

"Guess it's my turn now," Root uttered and got up from his spot on the Royal Zinger's nose. He bowed towards the latter for a moment before facing the Celestial Boar, "Let's see how long I can last against it."
"I hope I can last for as long as my Deity expects me to."
