Mutated Expert Mystic Grade Pranic Beast—Celestial Boar!
Brangara remained in his human form, not revealing his Pranic Beast form for the time being, afraid that he might accidentally squish his family. He stared at the pillar of light emanating from him and suppressed his Tertiary Nature, succeeding after a couple of seconds. "Good, it receded."
The pillar of light vanished, revealing a damaged Attributed Region whose walls were starting to collapse. He looked around, noticing the figures of Raaha, Geugeu, and Boul Brimgan at the closest.
He then observed that Resha had taken flight already and was high up in the air now, taking advantage of the collapse of the Attributed Region. Since it started to collapse, the massive layer of earth above the Attributed Region began to fall through.
"We need to leave this place first," Brangara said and enveloped himself and his family within the tangible body of an Empyrean Tusk that marched through the broken Attributed Region's layers and reached a flight of stairs that remained intact.
The tangible body of the Empyrean Tusk retracted into the Boar King who led his family through the flight of stairs, asking upon inspecting the condition of his children, "How's your state now?"
"This disease won't kill us, Dad." Barla said, "The caster only intended to use us to distract you. He wanted you to bring us and head to the Cooter Clan so that the Mammoth Clan could focus on getting the Major Treasure of Attribute."
"How's he now?" Brangara stared at Yarsha Zahara to ask.
"In my possession," Yarsha Zahara clenched her hand into a fist, "I'll be able to revive him once I accumulate enough Prana."
"Good, we'll first leave this place." Brangara said and glared at the individuals who were rapidly fleeing from the region, clicking his tongue in disappointment, "Their reaction speed is terrifying. Even when I ambushed them with the Bolts of Transcendence, they still managed to preserve their lives."
"Shouldn't we take this chance to kill them?" Yarsha Zahara said and stared at the fleeing figure of Inala, "Especially him."
"That's not possible." The Boar King shook his head, "Even when I had activated over twenty-plus Natures of Internal Inertial Gravity, I failed to kill him. Or rather, he almost killed me instead."
"But aren't you way stronger now?" She asked in shock, "I can clearly feel that you're on a whole other level as compared to before."
"I indeed am," Brangara nodded, "But I have zero experience using these abilities. Had the Attributed Region remained intact, I could have killed Inala, but he's already flying away."
"It's impossible to catch up to him in a short time. And even if I do, I'd rapidly lose my Lifespan and end up dead." Brangara said, "Currently, I don't have the means to counter him. So, we need to be strategic with our actions."
"Then, are we heading to the Dieng Canyon?" Yarsha Zahara asked, "There should be some Zinger Queens there."
"Yes, that's the plan." Brangara nodded as they reached the surface. He then carried them and began to sprint in the direction of the Dieng Canyon. A tangible Empyrean Tusk body manifested in the air once before entering Barla's body. The same happened to the bodies of everyone, allowing them to experience the power of Internal Inertial Gravity.
Once they were ready, Brangara spiked his speed, going supersonic.
Primary Nature—Voracious Cultivator!
Secondary Nature—Astral World!
Tertiary Nature—Major Treasure!
Major Treasure—Tangible Natures!
Originally, Brangara's Primary Nature of Voracious Nature was capable of swallowing Natures without a limit. It was the same power as an Empyrean Boar. The problem with it was the fact that the gained Natures were stored in the body like fat deposits, causing them to affect the Empyrean Boar and turn it mad.
Astral Chart collected these Natures and stored them in his Spirit Container. As a result, it allowed the Boar King to free his body of the excess influences. Now, he only needed to face the influences of these Natures similar to what every Human cultivator experienced with their Nature.
Astral Chart allowed him to control and suppress the Natures he had obtained through Voracious Nature. This allowed Brangara to store up to a hundred Natures without losing his mind like the Empyrean Boars.
Moreover, unlike Empyrean Boars, Brangara could stack multiple Natures atop each other, similar to Humans stacking their bodies at the Life Stage. This allowed him to output a level of power far above the usual.
When an Empyrean Boar unleashed the Natures stored in its body, it was no different from opening the gates of a dam. All the Natures would gush out individualistically. Even if it had ten Natures of Prana Shock, it couldn't stack them upon each other like Brangara.
Instead, ten different effects of Prana Shock would be released, which was infinitely weaker than a combined release of Prana Shock stacked ten times through Astral Chart.
Finally, his Tertiary Nature of Cultivator allowed him to assume a human form and cultivate through the Life Stage like humans. Stacking many bodies allowed him to grow even stronger.
But at the end of the day, as the Boar King analysed his weaknesses, he realised that all his Natures existed solely to make him stronger individually. The three Natures were groundbreaking on their own, but Brangara wanted a simple outcome.
Three Natures that acted in synergy and behaved like a single Nature!
That was what he wanted to go for, the primary principle behind his evolution.
Primary Nature—Voracious Cultivator!
This allowed Brangara to digest any organic matter he consumed. If he doesn't wish to store a Nature, he could consider it as food and use it to grow his body.
Voracious Cultivator was a fusion between his Primary Nature of Voracious Nature and Tertiary Nature of Cultivator. It allowed him to consume Free Humans and Pranic Beasts, including their Natures to cultivate his body.
Basically, it allowed him to mature faster. Until now, he was only able to do that by consuming Empyrean Tusks and Snappers. Through Voracious Cultivator, he could reap the same benefits from all living beings, especially since he could use their Natures as fuel.
Originally, if he didn't wish to store a Nature in his Astral Chart, all its essence would be expended out of his body in the form of poop. But now, it could be broken down into pure energy capable of growing his body.
If he doesn't wish to use the Natures as food, Brangara could store them in his stomach, which was where his Secondary Nature came into effect.
Secondary Nature—Astral World!
This was created by the fusion of Astral Chart and his giant stomach biome. Astral Chart was no different from a train, with a Pranic Beast stuffed in each of the compartments and suppressed. Astral World would allow them to freely live in a place habitable to Natures.
Here, the Natures could manifest themselves through Prana, living freely as they did when alive. Brangara wouldn't be suppressing them like before. Instead, he would nurture them and cultivate their abilities.
If an Empyrean Tusk lived in the Astral World, it would live as its original life, continuing to roam about in the Astral World while going about with its life. It would eat, shit, fight for resources, etc. the usual stuff.
While doing so, it would use its Primary Nature, Skills, and Prime Skills. Through Astral World, Brangara would be able to harness the entirety of its true power.
To date, when he used Internal Inertial Gravity, his usage was empirical at best, on par with Inala when he was at the Sanrey Plains. As he had only used them when absolutely necessary, Brangara barely had any experience in using Internal Inertial Gravity.
Had he possessed the same experience as an Empyrean Tusk, simply stacking four Internal Inertial Gravity would have allowed him to kill Inala's Royal Zinger form.
Brangara lacked not just experience in using the Nature, but also the Skills and Prime Skills that could have been used to further amplify the power of the Natures for various situations.
Twenty years ago, he never needed such things, as even the strongest foes he faced—the Empyrean Tusk herd—only necessitated two Natures of Internal Inertial Gravity from his side to have an even battle.
Activate one more, and he'd have the advantage. Only after the Mystic Seven came into place was Brangara's original strategy made lacking.
Hence, to counter that disadvantage, he developed Astral World, a world where Natures could manifest themselves in their original forms—Humans or Pranic Beasts—through Prana and live life. Over time, they would regain their original abilities.
Brangara would then cultivate them, making them experience different things based on the scenario he creates in the Astral World and have them adapt to such situations. As a result, they'll be creating Skills and Prime Skills accordingly to use their Natures better.
When Brangara activates the Nature of Internal Inertial Gravity, an Empyrean Tusk in his Astral World would vanish and appear in his Spirit Container, allowing him to behave in the same way as the Empyrean Tusk.
He would use Internal Inertial Gravity just as the Empyrean Tusk did when alive and could also perform all its Skills and Prime Skills.
Astral Chart suppressed the influence of Natures but Astral World allowed Brangara to be influenced by them instead. But due to the sheer difference in their state of being, with him being at the pinnacle as a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast, irrespective of the strength of the influence, Brangara would remain himself.
It wasn't just that. As these Natures lived in the Astral World, they were subjected to Brangara's influence. As a result, even if they remained as themselves, over time, their disposition would change to be subservient to Brangara instead.
Once he deactivates the Nature, the Empyrean Tusk would dissipate. But unlike before when all its residue would be expelled from his body, his Primary Nature would consume the remainder and use it to grow his body.
That brings us to his Tertiary Nature, one through which he gained the title of the fittest in Sumatra.
Tertiary Nature—Major Treasure!
It was the same as Boul Brimgan's Secondary Nature. In the latter's case, his Secondary Nature turned his Spirit Weapon—
when refined to its zenith—into a Minor Treasure. For Brangara, the effects of his Tertiary Nature weren't applied to a Spirit Weapon or something but rather to himself.
Yes, he was a Major Treasure, a living, breathing one. And best of all, he was a Mystic Grade Major Treasure.
Major Treasure—Tangible Natures!
This was very simple. Instead of using his stored Natures as his own like in the past, Brangara could manifest their state in the Astral World to the outside world too. This was how he manifested the tangible Empyrean Tusk body.
And through the effects of his Tertiary Nature, Brangara could fuse these Tangible Natures into the bodies of others. There were plenty of restrictions related to this aspect, especially since the original rules of Voracious Nature and Astral Chart were still in effect.
So, he could only use his stored Natures once. And upon being deactivated, they would vanish. Brangara had yet to experiment with how he could stretch that limit through his Tertiary Nature, a reason why he refrained from fighting Inala.
Because in terms of comprehension, it seemed Inala understood his new abilities more than Brangara. So, until he had a decent enough comprehension, Brangara refrained from taking action against a fellow Mystic Grade Pranic Beast that he judged to be a genuine threat now. After all, he almost died to the latter.
Overall, his three Natures worked as a singular unit. Basically, what Brangara achieved were three pinnacle Mystic Grade Natures with split functions. Their true ability was displayed when activated simultaneously, allowing the three Natures to influence and harmonise with each other, resulting in a power that surpassed Sumatra's power system.
In essence, Brangara had one Nature that was fractured to become three Mystic Grade Natures of Voracious Cultivator, Astral World, and Major Treasure.
