Chapter 693 Justify Your Infamy
A month later, Inala woke up with a groggy expression, feeling lethargic. He was still tired but his body couldn’t fall asleep anymore. “This sucks…”
Complaining with an irritated expression, he got up and stretched himself a bit, deciding to split the necessary rest over the upcoming days. He would sleep an hour or two extra every day until he was back to his brisk self.
If anything, that was his only complaint. He had plenty of reasons to be excited, since the Major Treasure of Flight had been created successfully. Now that he had rested a good amount, ideas began to churn in his mind, especially related to his travel capabilities.
If Inala had to cover a large distance in a short time, he didn’t have to fly towards the place. Instead, all he had to do was throw a Biome Bomb in the respective direction. And once it had covered enough distance, it would assume flight, allowing him to teleport next to it.
This became something he could actively use in his fights, especially against the Celestial Boar. ‘As long as I accumulate enough of its Influence, I can teleport without issues.’
“And he only needed to fly once for me to erase a body of his.” Inala thought and observed the Phells swimming outside the cyclotron, thinking of something. ‘With the Nature of Subtle Terrain Domination in his possession, he can assume flight in his human form. So, the traps I lay would have to take that into consideration and ensure he enters a state of flight.’
‘Do I reveal this information? No!’ Inala thought as he observed himself and elevated himself to the Mystic Grade. In his possession was an orb, the final one. He had used 29 orbs in the creation of the Major Treasure of Flight.
His original calculation only required 26 orbs. However, it was impossible to predict everything, especially on a scale as massive as the creation of a Major Treasure out of an Influenced Region. Thankfully, his excessive preparations came in clutch, allowing him to succeed.
He retained one Bolt of Transcendence worth of Prana, which would prove helpful for elevating his Grade as and when necessary. This was also what he planned to rely upon once he leaves the Ravaged Federation.
There was still plenty of work left for him to do at the Ravaged Federation, including the creation of one more Minor Treasure, which would produce Royal Nectar when fused into the Royal Zinger’s body.
But it wasn’t a priority for the time being. There was enough Royal Nectar in their reserves, which would last around a decade or more.
Things had changed now, forcing Inala to take action, ‘Brangara experienced too much growth when Gannala tried to free Grehha and Yennda.’
If he wasn’t disturbed in some fashion, his growth would continue at an exponential pace, exceeding the combined speed of the Mystic Seven.
As the Empyrean Boar King, Brangara had never used its entire potential. If Inala had the power of the Empyrean Boar King, he was confident enough to annihilate the endgame builds of the Mystic Seven at the Fourth Major Disaster.
And now, Brangara had become a Celestial Boar, an existence with infinite potential, ‘It doesn’t have the Empyrean prefix even after hitting Expert Mystic Grade.’
The greater Brangara realised his build’s potential, the worse their side’s advantage became. As a result, Inala was forced to take action. After all, it was a blatant truth. No matter how much his side grew, they weren’t a match against a Brangara who had realised his full potential.
So from the very beginning, the goal had been to dumb him down and keep him busy so that he doesn’t get ideas to grow.
Currently, the existence of both Yarsha Zahara and Yamahara allowed Brangara to grow at a steady pace. Scarily enough, his steady pace was faster than Inala’s development sprint.
From the Empyrean Boar King to a Celestial Boar, Brangara had the advantage of his Tribe evolving into a Clan, which evolved him. Unfortunately for Inala, he had already done the same.
Therefore, he had no other options available that would grant him an evolution. From Beginner Mystic Grade to Expert Mystic Grade, he would have to manually increase his potential.
He originally thought of fusing the power of the Major Treasure of Flight into his genetics. However, that would result in Resha’s situation from Sumatra Chronicles.
The core of his existence and authority stemmed from the Major Treasure of Attribute that had become part of his genetic information. If he were to add another Major Treasure to the mix, not only would the Royal Zinger become a severely unstable existence, like the Empyrean Boars, he might not even be able to unleash his current versatility competently.
He would be stomping his intricately carved build. He might even lose Mystic Royalty’s capability of jumping Grades with the fusion. Moreover, the functions of Hidden Eye might influence his behaviour, similar to the Brimgan Founder.
Inala would have to spend another decade or more to gradually accustom to the changes and ensure he remained himself. The risks far outweighed the benefits. Hence, he would have to find another way.
Mutation wasn’t an option too, as the Royal Zinger was already a Mutated Beginner Mystic Grade Pranic Beast at its full capacity. So, both the mutation and evolution routes were no longer available to him.
‘Growth is no longer importance, since I have attained all the abilities I thought of for my endgame build.’ Inala sighed, ‘My growth will become irrelevant if I don’t halt Brangara’s growth first.’
With a serious expression, he returned to the Quip Clan Settlement, noticing Zhya waiting for him with anticipation. Immediately upon seeing him, she asked, barely able to control her smile, “Did you succeed?”
She could feel a difference in his being, so she knew that he had succeeded, especially upon observing his eyes brimming with excitement, like a child that had gotten hold of his favourite toy. But she asked, as she wanted to hear it from him.
“I did,” Inala grinned and pointed at his eye. That was enough for her to know what he meant, since he already divulged all the necessary details to her well in advance.
The Zinger Representative wasn’t a simple existence. In the Royal Zinger’s absence, she would inherit a portion of his authority, behaving as the Deity of the Zinger Race. And the Zinger Representative would instinctively figure out the means to revive the Royal Zinger.
Even if Inala were to be killed prematurely, as long as Zhya was alive, he’d return to Sumatra eventually. That was why Zhya was provided with the greatest amount of resources to develop her body. As long as she reaches maturity with a single body, she’d become a powerhouse, able to perform her duties without problems.
Moreover, she could contain all the Quip Clan’s information as Piezo Slips within her body, acting as a mobile treasury of the Quip Clan. Even if the entirety of the Quip Clan gets destroyed, as long as the Zinger Representative exists, they could recover eventually.
And thanks to her sheer concentration of Royal Zinger genes, she could mate with Free Humans and directly produce Zinger Aristocrats without issues. Even birthing a Zinger Prince would only require some patience and hard work from her side.
With the arrival of a Zinger Prince, all the Zinger Aristocrats could get to birthing Quip Clansmen in large numbers, reviving the Quip Clan in a single generation. With this confidence, Inala could be bold.
After all, even if he dies, the Major Treasure of Flight would return to the Quip Clan where Inala planned to have multiple Biome Bombs in a state of flight. Even if the Quip Clansmen cannot use it, Zhya could store it in her body.
And by absorbing Prana from the Biome Lattice, she could condense an Influenced Region within her, allowing her to float into the air. If necessary, she could carry the Quip Clansmen and seek refuge in the skies, far away from Brangara’s reach.That was Inala’s plan in the worst-case scenario. Orakha wanted to flee Sumatra as he wasn’t confident of evading Brangara anywhere on the Continent.
In Inala’s case, he’d simply fly beyond Brangara’s reach. As the Biomes part of the Biome Lattice was condensed through Inala’s Primary Nature, the Major Treasure of Flight could safely remain inside and absorb the Prana accumulating in it, using which it could gather its influence.
With enough influence, it could take on the role of the Influence Region of Hidden Eye on its own, even in Inala’s absence.
“I’m glad.” Zhya smiled in relief, “With this, we can avoid the worst-case scenario.”
“Yes,” Inala nodded and then asked, “What is Virala up to now? Has he stayed obedient?”
“Yes,” Zhya nodded, “I have paid special attention to him. He has dubious intentions, but he doesn’t dare face you, not when he has nothing to gain and plenty to lose.”
“Indeed,” Inala nodded, “He was unhinged as a lone wolf. But now, he has created a powerful force that he’s prideful and responsible for. So, he’ll be less volatile unless he loses his brain cells and tries something stupid.”
“Let me talk to him a bit. We’ll then continue our discussion.” Inala nodded at Zhya and watched her return to the Quip Clan Settlement. He swam through the ocean water and approached a long line that stretched from the surface to the ocean bed.
This was where the Mystic Humans were staying. He didn’t enter them, but instead swam to the bottom, approaching the Biome Bomb where Virala stayed. He landed on the surface and melted through it upon activating Perfect Biome Domination, all while not letting a single drop of the high-pressured water inside.
“Inala?” Virala became nervous upon seeing Inala arrive before him all of a sudden, tensing up instinctively, ‘He didn’t bother to see me all these months no matter how many times I asked. But why did he appear now of all times?’
“Have you enjoyed your stay here?” Inala said and patted the inner walls of the Biome Bomb, “Was the infinite supply of Prana beneficial to you?”
“Yes…but, why are you asking it out of the blue like this?” Virala frowned.
“Because we’re going on a trip.” Inala said and pointed in the direction of the surface, towards the stream of water heading to the Dralh Sea, “Let’s go and give a headache to Brangara.”
“Why should I join you?” Virala grumbled, “I want to cultivate in peace.”
“You can cultivate in the afterlife.” Inala shrugged, “Even if you reach the 10-Life Stage, Brangara would have reached there way faster than you. Accelerating your body’s maturity is his characteristic. And it works best on the original.”
“I fought with him just recently.” Virala smiled wryly, “He has a good grasp of my strength. If I were to show up on his doorstep like this, Yarsha Zahara would cook me alive, especially since they have Yamahara.”
“It’ll be different this time, since you’ll be coming with me,” Inala said with confidence. “Besides, you don’t seem to remember something important.”
“What is it?” Virala felt nervous for some, mysterious reason.
“You’re Loot,” Inala said casually and pointed at himself, “And I was the one who created that identity.”
“So, it’s time you work your ass off to justify your infamy.”
