Chapter 865: Blessed Influencer
Minor Treasure-Gracious Inheritor!
Brangara initially had two, but after using one on Inala, this was all he was left with. "I'll be dying soon."
"What?" Gracious Inheritor shouted in shock, "My Lord! Y-You're kidding, right?"
"I still don't feel like I'll be dying from this, but every single arrangement points otherwise." Brangara shook his head, "So it seems I'm, not making it out alive from this fight."
"Then, My Lord!" Gracious Inheritor almost uttered the words, 'Let's flee!'
"Hold that thought inside," Brangara's eyes narrowed as he revealed a minor smile, one concealing absolute anger, "Never, ever utter it, alright?"
Pride! Confidence! Strongest!
The Celestial Boar was, is, and will always be an unmatched existence. The only reason he was in the current state in the first place was due to being ill-prepared enough. "Irrespective of what it is, I'll always face a challenge."
'Running away is not an option. I would rather die than flee.' He thought and eyed the Minor Treasures before him, "Therefore, listen attentively. I'll give you guys a mission. You'll spend the rest of your infinite lives trying to execute it."
"Yes," Though he couldn't comprehend the Celestial Boar's death, but as a devoted subordinate, he kneeled on the ground and listened with all his might.
"First," Brangara stared at Gracious Inheritor, "Release all the Tangible Natures in your reserve, Gatin."
"Yes," His eyes widened and welled up with tears as Gracious Inheritor was surprised to be addressed by his human name, 'So, His Majesty remembers my name. It's my fortune to be alive till this day!'
Brangara didn't simply consume Gatin just like that. No, he was picked by Yarsha Zahara and briefed about their fate. Gatin and the others accepted it with happiness, for it was their honour to serve their Emperor.
Among them, two gained the highest honour of becoming Minor Treasures. Gatin felt blessed to be attached importance by Brangara. And now, with bated breath, he released all the Tangible Natures and watched Brangara touch his head. 'Ah!'
"This is going to hurt you," Brangara uttered as he activated the Major Treasure of Subtle Terrain Domination, entering his absolute state.
State of Unity-Unlimited Predator!
His body melted and turned into crystalline drops that punctured Gatin's body, causing the latter to spasm for a few seconds before letting out horrid screams. A Tangible Nature of Empyrean Snapper appeared in human form nearby and covered the area with Subtle Terrain Domination, preventing the screams from echoing out.
It also camouflaged the place and shielded the energy waves emanating from Gatin as he was being terraformed by Brangara.
Expert Mystic Grade Pranic Beast-Celestial Boar!
Brangara assumed Celestial Boar form and pulled out a horn growing out of his elbow. Through Subtle Terrain Domination, he turned it into Vara.
"Koff!" He poked a hole in his chest and yanked out the piece of Sumatra Gold that had finished forming. Through his absolute domain, he mixed his Vara with the Sumatra Gold and caused the mixture to pierce Gatin's body.
With his absolute domain, he was slowly replacing the Vara that formed Gatin's human Avatar -which was sourced from an Empyrean Boar with his Vara. The piece of Sumatra Gold existed to keep Gatin's form stable until the swap ended.
Primary Nature-Voracious Cultivator!
Secondary Nature-Astral World!
Tertiary Nature-Major Treasure!
The Celestial Boar activated each of its three Natures individually, caused the Prana flowing in his body to carry its effect, and then poured that essence condensed in his melting body into Gatin's mouth, "Swallow it all!"
State of Unity—Unlimited Predator!
The power spread across his body as the influence of Astral World pervaded his being. He was
a part of the Astral World, and hence as Brangara willed it, Gatin was immune to Unlimited Predator. Brangara's essence was rapidly digested in his stomach as a formless change erupted across his being.
He was unable to understand what was happening to him and simply hollered in pain. Fundamentally, he was being reverted to a state where he was at the 10-Life Stage.
A Minor Treasure was formed when the cultivator's body, mind, and soul were fused into one. Gatin's body and Human Avatar had been seamlessly turned into one. His power came from his Human Avatar, which formed the majority of the Minor Treasure of Gracious Inheritor.
Subtle Terrain Domination was perfect against minerals. And in his absolute domain, Brangara could control everything, including a Bolt of Transcendence. However, a Bolt of Transcendence was too fast for him to gain control of. So, he hadn't succeeded until now.
But when Blola caused them to rain on the Kalahatra Desert, Brangara gave his everything to survive. He managed to control the Bolts slightly then, through repeated experience. Of course, the most of could do was slightly swerve them to the side, thereby reducing the damage he sustained.
If not for this, he would have lost three Astral Worlds and not two.
A cultivator became a Minor or Major Treasure thanks to a Bolt of Transcendence-in case they failed to become a Transcendence and weren't vaporised.
Through Astral Cultivator, Brangara could naturally elevate a Tangible Nature into a Treasure. But now, he intended to reverse the process, however little was possible.
It wasn't originally possible, but witnessing the Infinite Divine Soldier and Inala's Transcendent body inspired Brangara. He knew by experience what a bolt of Transcendence did. Gatin's body was a mineral body, unlike other Tangible Natures, since he was a Free
Human.
Therefore, by using a Sumatra Gold to stabilise Gatin's body, Brangara intended to selectively swap out the Vara there with his. This had to be executed seamlessly, to make it seem as if Gatin originally had a Human Avatar made out of the Celestial Boar's Vara, was cultivated to the 10-Life Stage as a Tangible Nature, and then turned into a Minor Treasure.
Of course, the Celestial Boar's Vara was a Gold Grade mineral. So, the final result would be a Major Treasure. But that wasn't all that Brangara wished to achieve. If it was to simply swap the Vara, the current him could do it easily.
But he wanted something more, something that would truly hurt his enemies even after his death and constantly make every race shiver at the mention of the Celestial Boar's name and fear its return.
'Inala claimed the future generations of Royal Zingers would be stronger. Currently, turnip is under the Royal Zinger's control, and in Root's memories, I didn't see anyone near Turnip. Though it has been changed, in essence, it's still me.' Brangara thought while continuing to change Gatin's body.
'I am not sure how long it'll take turnip to revert to Astral World. And even if it does, it'll simply be at the peak of the Body Stage. If a Royal Zinger were to revive before that, it could revert the process and ensure Turnip remains as is. Or even if Turnip becomes the Astral World, it could be shattered by a prepared Royal Zinger.' His eyes focused as Brangara grunted, for a moment changing Gatin's status from a Minor Treasure to a 10-Life Stage
Tangible Nature.
