431 You’re the Bro!
Asaeya's Tertiary Nature of Kinesis Rupture Deity allowed her to transform her Grim Knell form into a more humanoid entity—
giant in size. Its primary function was to condense a Spirit Weapon that carried all the pain she had endured through her life and seep it into the target every time the Spirit Weapon poked them.
She would have to accumulate pain and charge her Spirit Weapon with it. And once discharged, she would have to accumulate them again. But the advantage here was that she could control the extent of pain she was discharging into the target and how much they could experience in a matter of seconds.
Unlike Akashic Rupture which was a Silver Grade Nature, Kinesis Rupture Deity was a Gold Grade Nature. Hence its abilities were absurdly powerful. Best of all was the four times boost in the Spirit Weapon range.
Hence, it made Asaeya a powerhouse instantly.
The Primary Nature of Kinesis Deity gave the Brimgan Empire Royals a ten times boost in Spirit Weapon range, but other than being ridiculously hard, the mineral of Rutham didn't have any other properties. Hence, Brimgan Royals only had brute force to rely upon.
They generally condensed a variety of Skills to make up for their lack of special abilities.
In Asaeya's case, by giving up a significant portion of the range, room was made up to give her Spirit Weapon the ability to store pain and transmit it to the target upon contact. And a four times increase in Spirit Weapon range was still insanely significant.
After all, that meant her range at the peak of the Body Stage stood at 720 metres. This range was on par with Mammoth Clansmen at the 4-Life Stage. Therefore, Asaeya's combat power experienced an instant leap, filling up her weakness of a lack of offensive means.
Now, instead of being a mere support, she could take up combat roles too and be relevant in future battles.
"I told you, right?" Inala grinned upon seeing Asaeya's shock, "Isn't it great now?"
"Yeah," Asaeya nodded, happy, "I can help better now."
She also had Inala's Easing Influence Skill. Hence, unless she actively engaged in a battle for a significant amount of time, she wouldn't have to worry about her Tertiary Nature's influence too much.
All in all, her Tertiary Nature pretty much conformed to a Grim Knell's power, and hence, she wouldn't have any opposing influences like in Inala's case. Thereby, as long as she spends enough time meditating, she'll be able to consolidate her powers and become accustomed to their influence.
'It has merely been a day since we became aware of Nature Weapons. But he already conceptualised a plan to take advantage of them and even succeeded in modifying Asaeya's Tertiary Nature accordingly.' Orakha was tremendously stunned by Inala's capabilities, 'The longer this guy is allowed to grow, the more extreme his capabilities become.'
Inala's was a growth-type build. Orakha was aware of that, but seeing it in action firsthand terrified him. Currently, in terms of brute power, he was still above Inala. But that was it. His actions were limited to his abilities and their functions.
He hadn't explored any domains beyond that.
But despite having weaker individual powers, Inala focused on their synergic functions the most. And by synergising each of his weaker abilities, he was able to unleash terrifying output on a level that was unimaginable to Orakha.
'He has everyone beat in this regard.' Orakha sighed, 'Only Grehha comes close in terms of ingenuity, but his results are tame when compared to Inala.'
Resha focused on absolute combat strength and pursued versatility in battle capabilities. Orakha focused on strength too and pursued versatility in his ability's effects, making it impossible to be countered.
Yennda wanted to be left alone and pursued toxicity that would make even the Boar King averse to touching him. Grehha focused on research to strengthen the Mammoth Clan as a whole and pursued stability above everything else, building up strength while in safety.
Blola focused on getting complete control over his Transcendent Eater form, having no major plans beyond that. Virala focused on variations in his strength and pursued variety above everything else, intending to have as many Natures as possible in his arsenal.
Finally, there was Inala who pursued the accumulation of information and sought to increase his arsenal of methods, preparing himself to use the same ability in a thousand ways. This was what made him terrifying.
He extended the possibilities of Natures the greatest among anyone on Sumatra, never shying away from experimentation, voracious in his desire for knowledge, and used his abilities to rapidly digest said knowledge and banked upon it later.
'Do I antagonise him or not?' Orakha seriously considered the possibility as he stared at the arguing figures of Inala and Asaeya, 'If he's allowed to grow freely like this, he'll be unstoppable by the Second Major Disaster. No one will be able to take the Attribute from him.'
"Don't act like your name's written on the Major Treasure of Attribute."
"Personal property of Sir Inala. This sentence is clearly carved on it. You'll know when you get there."
Recalling his argument with Inala at the entrance of Guna Caves, Orakha sighed, 'That statement might as well be the truth.'
'Is this what he was implying back then?' Orakha stared at Inala's back, intimidated, 'Just how far into the picture is he scheming?'
"It's your turn now." Inala stared at Maroppa, "You can simply equip it into your Secondary Nature with Gannala's help."
"But wouldn't that make me helpless?" Maroppa said as she sat up and gathered her bearings, "Both Gannala and Virala would be able to remove the Nature from me any moment they please."
"It's only possible when we're in direct contact, but yes, it's possible." Gannala nodded, "Since it's my power we're using to equip the Nature Weapon in you in the first place. It still exists as a Nature Weapon in your Nature slot and not as your Secondary Nature."
"Then I'll assimilate it," Maroppa said and repeated the same process as before once she had recovered her Prana. After the Nature Weapon was equipped into her Secondary Nature slot, she grabbed a second Nature Weapon—of Fehta Brimgan—and seeped Prana filled with her Primary Nature into it.
Soon, the Nature Weapon changed in effect, with the essence within assimilated into her Sandy-Grey Assimilation. Now, the effects of her grey sand existed in the Nature Weapon.
Prime Skill—Nature Weapon Assimilation!
Through the Prime Skill's power, Maroppa assimilated it into her Secondary Nature slot and transformed it into her Secondary Nature. If a Nature existed, the effects of the Nature Weapon would be assimilated into it.
By equipping the Nature Weapon first, Maroppa ended up gaining a Secondary Nature. As long as she had Nature Weapons in her possession, Maroppa could use the Prime Skill of Nature Weapon Assimilation to turn her Natures more complex and even upgrade them.
However, she had no intention of doing so, for that wasn't necessary and would only cause her to be overwhelmed by the influence of her Natures. Besides, she already obtained the perfect ability that was satisfactory to her desires.
Staring at her Secondary Nature, Maroppa laughed raucously, finally having combat strength that didn't force her to destroy an entire region, "Thank you, Inala! You're the Bro!"
Secondary Nature—Grey Kinesis Deity!
