I'll Surpass The MC-Chapter 781: The Final Feast
Chapter 781: The Final Feast
From the very beginning, Grehha considered himself a Mammoth Clansman, down to the very core of his being. And he was damn proud to be one, even with everything against the Mammoth Clan, including the existence of the Celestial Boar looming over the Mammoth Clan's fate.
And the build he created at the very beginning was his endgame build. It accounted for all the changes. The direction of thought was the same as Inala, which was to use swarm tactics. However, the intended motive was different.
Inala had planned to use the Prana Bombs of the Zingers to constantly steal the Prana and Lifespan of Brangara, depriving him of the means to make a recovery and remain fighting for long. The army of Zingers was there to bombard Brangara with sheer numbers that outpaced his digestion capabilities.
Grehha's plan was simpler. He would just destroy all availability of food in the region, converting all organic matter into inorganic matter. This way, Brangara would no longer have anything to consume, which would further weaken him.
That plan had never changed, since Brangara had never had to account for it. After all, only if it had been used on him would he think of a counter. Unlike the other Mystic Paths, Grehha had never fought Brangara.
His swarm tactics weren't to directly wound Brangara. That can be done by the heavy hitters, such as Resha. Rather, the existence of the Bone Vipers was to rapidly convert a region into a land of bone.
This bone, when consumed by the Empyrean Boar King-and now the Celestial Boar-would only be excreted out by its digestive system, wasting time, effort, and the stomach's digestive capacity.
Thanks to his job experience on Earth, Grehha knew a great deal about genetics and breeding, which was why he aimed for the Supreme Tusk Gannala's ovum from the very beginning. After all, with it, he could get everything he wanted eventually.
Just by infusing Empyrean Tusk essence in Mud Vipers, he created an egg of the Mutated Silver Grade Pranic Beast-Empyrean Viper. Its Secondary Nature was Internal Inertial Gravity.
Since he had a time crunch back then, he limited himself to an Empyrean Viper. That was what he could achieve the fastest before the First Major Disaster began. Following that, he simply focused on accumulating Empyrean Tusk essence in himself through his Empyrean Incubator.
His build was purely accumulative. And only after it reached a certain height would it begin displaying its true worth. He had yet to reach that point, even though the Major Treasure of Weapon was what he sought to complete his endgame build.
However, Grehha wasn't overly worried about it. If his preparations proved to be lacking and he fails to acquire Weapon, it didn't matter much. After all, his build could be completed through the Major Treasure of Pet too.
He had planned for two possibilities and had enough guarantee to obtain the Major Treasure of Pet, since his accumulation phase would have finished by then.
Every cultivator, including Resha, had to train painstakingly to become proficient with something. However, it was different for Grehha.
The theme of survival of the fittest was the rule of Sumatra. The theory of evolution also progressed according to the rule of the survival of the fittest. All Grehha did was apply that to the Empyrean Incubator and mildly modify his genetic information by subjecting the genes to selective environmental variations.
Thereby, he was able to control the degree and direction of change, manoeuvring the result towards the intended mutation. His plan through this was simple. He'll simply improve his talent.
Fighting? He'll stimulate his genetics in such a way that it was as if his forefathers had spent thousands of years fighting nonstop using martial arts. Intelligence? He'll stimulate the genes again in such a way that it was as if his forefathers were bookworms immersed in the field of study.
Across the Mammoth Clan's history, innumerous geniuses had appeared, each specialised in a certain field. Some managed to realise their potential while others failed and died prematurely. However, as long as they existed and managed to have an offspring, they had succeeded in passing on their talents.
Depending on how the DNA forms, various talents would form in the offspring, influenced by innumerous variables. All Grehha intended to do was selectively accumulate them all, every single talent that a Mammoth Clansman possessed.
And that also included the talents of the Mammoth Clansmen born to Fragment Disease parents and ended up becoming Empyrean Tusks.
Once fully armed with the entire talent capacity of the Mammoth Clan, reaching proficiency in any field would be a cakewalk for him. With minimal training, he'd gain unsurpassable results, leaving even geniuses in the dust.
In his original plan, he'd obtain the entire talent pool of the Mammoth Clan a decade before the Fourth Major Disaster and spend the remaining time training. Simply obtaining the Minor Treasure of Corporeal Mixer accelerated his plans by another decade, allowing his endgame build to be even greater than his original plan.
'But with the digestive characteristics present in the Celestial Boar stomach, his growth will be accelerated to its extreme.' Inala thought as he figured out Grehha's goal, 'And as he adapts to the changes faster, his Empyrean Viper will also adapt to better accustom his
growing Natures.'
Currently, Grehha's Primary Nature of Spirit Bone was at the Silver Grade. It would have reached the Gold Grade a decade before the Fourth Major Disaster in Grehha's original plan. Now, he'll simply achieve it in the next two years, all thanks to the Celestial Boar body.
The Celestial Boar was birthed by the Empyrean Boar King manifesting a significant amount of Empyrean Tusk characteristics. Now, through its stomach, Grehha was gradually imbuing its consumption characteristics into his genetic information.
It allowed him to digest things faster, further amplifying the effect of Corporeal Mixer to create a beneficial cycle.
"Are these enough?" Inala asked as he dropped a pile of Biome Bombs before Grehha, consisting primarily of Celestial Boar stomachs and blood. Six of the Biome Bombs were orbs -containing a Bolt of Transcendence in each.
[Plenty! Thanks, man! I'll reach my endgame potential as soon as possible. However, I have a request. Your base is at the Ravaged Federation, right? Then...]
The pillar of light emitted by the Minor Treasure of Corporeal Mixer formed a string of words, flickering towards the end, displaying Grehha's hesitation.
"I got your point," Inala sighed after a while of thought, "I'll bring you the Major Treasure of
Pet somehow."
[Thanks, Inala. I appreciate your help. If we manage to survive, I'll buy you a meal.]
"A meal?" Inala rolled his eyes, "You better be ready to cook me a fucking feast. I'll be the most stuck-up food critic you'll ever see."
[Deal!]
Inala disappeared from the spot and reappeared at a spot ten kilometres away from the Dungeon entrance. He ignored the Zinger Aristocrats at the scene for the time being and took flight, hovering at a decent altitude above the thicket of trees to stare in the direction of the
Dungeon.
A group of Pranic Beasts was marching towards it, led by a Gold Grade Pranic Beast, lured by the Minor Treasure's presence leaking out of the Dungeon. 'This guy knows how to bring resources to his place. He's the pinnacle of lazy growth.'
Inala wasn't worried about any trouble occurring in the Dungeon. Just the Gold Grade Pranic freёnovelkiss.com
Beasts he spotted within was enough to cripple an Empire, not to mention the two Expert Gold Grade Pranic Beasts there were on a whole other level, 'They're not as strong as an Empyrean Tusk or my Zinger Representative, but they're still strong.'
"And once Grehha enters the Gold Grade, he'll have better control over his Empyrean Incubator and could improve the strength of all the variants he has managed to create until now." He muttered softly and then landed on the ground, commanding the Zinger Aristocrats, "Search for the trio of Gannala, Harrala, and Yennda."
"Make it your highest priority."
"Yes!" The Zinger Aristocrats nodded and dispersed the information through their channels
using Zinger Shrieks. Inala then disappeared and appeared at different Quip Clan groups, informing them all to search for the trio.
'Just where the heck have they disappeared to?' He frowned and looked at various locations, eventually appearing above a massive sea that had been terraformed. Mineral mountains glistened in the centre, which was now the Cooter Clan headquarters.
But no Empyrean Snapper could be seen there, even as Inala flew through the entire place in
his invisible state. There were Cooter Clansmen whose population had ballooned rapidly in their efforts to prepare for war.
There was an eight-times spike in their numbers, with the Spirit Pools easily able to accommodate them all. After all, the number of mineral mountains was in the thousands, operating naturally, similar to what Virala had built at the Dralh Sea.
However, there was no sight of any Empyrean Snapper, 'The only way they could have
vanished is through the power of Cultivator. And currently, only Gannala can do that.'
"Who?" The Cooter Clan Chief shrieked in alarm when Inala suddenly revealed himself in a
large stone room.
Secondary Nature-Perfect Biome Domination!
The Cooter Clansmen in the room were the top brass of the Cooter Clan, all at the 10-Life
Stage. However, none of them possessed Gold Grade strength, with their strongest only at the
Silver Grade.
Their bodies failed to move as the air pressed down on their bodies, holding them tight while
Prana leaked out of their bodies like a torrent. Multiple Biome Bombs began to appear on the backs of each, sucking out their Prana like mosquitoes.
[Don't ask us where we're heading. Just know that we'll go into hiding to avoid being targeted
by the Celestial Boar. And until our return, the Cooter Clan will continue accumulating strength.]
It was the message given to the Cooter Clan Chief by the newly appointed 1st Empyrean
Snapper. In the Cooter Clan Chief's memories, he was staring at a group of Empyrean Snappers whose figures disappeared amidst the morning mist, never to be seen again.
Inala spotted Gannala and Harrala among the group of Empyrean Snappers. However, that was it. 'Absolute secrecy has been maintained, so no one knows where they might be. That makes sense. After all, these Empyrean Snappers aren't as strong as the ones killed by the Celestial Boar. Instead of fighting fruitlessly, and becoming Brangara's dinner, they can survive while accumulating strength.'
'It's apparent that they're waiting for Wally to enter the Mystic Grade before making a return.'
Inala sighed as he vanished from the location, 'I just hope Gannala doesn't do anything stupid. Even if she's gotten stronger, she should avoid this fight and remain safe.'
He clenched his hand into a fist, "The seven of us are enough to kill him."
The fact that someone as strong as Boul Brimgan was on their side came as a relief to him,
especially since Boul Brimgan could act as both a long-range unit and a close combat unit. 'He's currently the fastest on Sumatra.'
"Let's resume," Inala said as he returned to the spot within the Biome Lattice, constantly
extracting the Celestial Boar's body parts for consumption while feeding it all sorts of compressed Pranic Beast corpses.
Inala, Virala, and Resha feasted upon the Celestial Boar corpses, experiencing a gradual surge
in their strength. And while this was happening, Inala also began to refine the item necessary
to stabilise his bodies at the Life Stage.
Minor Treasure-Royal Stabiliser!
