I’ll Surpass The MC

”Thank you for your sacrifice, Blola.” Virala spoke as he stared at the figure of Blola before him, “I’ll gift you some knowledge that can help in your mental fight against the Transcendent Eater.”

“Their hate towards you is on par with Inala, since both of you are no longer Mammoth Clansmen.” Blola clicked his tongue, “So, what the fuck did you gift them that they’re happy to help you like this?”

“Drugs,” Virala flashed a content smile. But upon seeing the expression of confusion on Blola’s face, he groaned, “At times like these, I would have loved to argue with a smarter individual.”

“I’m smart enough, damn you.” Blola snorted.

“In short, I gave them everything I know about the Boar King’s body. It’ll help them make plans to kill him better.” Virala said with a deadpan expression, “I also gave them a lot of sensitive information from Brandal Brimgan. Basically, I gave everything of value in my possession to the Mammoth Clan to make this cooperation possible.”

“I can’t understand you,” Blola frowned, “Why are you helping the Mammoth Clan while suffering a loss? That isn’t like you.”

“Did it seem like that?” Virala laughed, “No matter what happens, the Mammoth Clan will always be Brangara’s most despised enemies. I just wish to strengthen them so that they don’t die fast under his attacks.”

“I see, so you’re using us as a punching bag.” Blola nodded.

“Yes, so the quality of the punching bag should be high enough that it doesn’t get damaged by Brangara’s punches, right?” Virala snapped his finger, “That’s what I want.”

Currently, Virala and Blola were at a spot a few kilometres away from the Mammoth Clan, since he wanted to consume the Transcendent Eater.

There was one thing he lied about during his discussion with Raaha. It was the fact that some Mammoth Clansmen were living in the Brimgan Empire, Rumtara Kingdom, and a few other places. Some survivors indeed fled to these places as refugees.

But under the banner of Human Supremacy that the Brimgan Empire advocated, and with all the neighbouring Kingdoms acting as a shuttle of the Empire’s opinion, the Mammoth Clan refugees were killed.

Moreover, this happened centuries ago, a part of history.

In Sumatra Chronicles, there were indeed locations where Mammoth Clan refugees lived, consisting of Mammoth Clansmen whose Deities were killed by Brangara over the course of two millennia.

Their mental states weren’t in the least sane, considering they lived for generations without their Deity. And honestly, their strength wasn’t anything worth writing home about either, being slaves to their Natures.

They were only a tad better than the Empyrean Boars two millennia ago.

Mammoth Clansmen could indeed be found in the wilds, but not in the Free Human territories that advocated the notion of human supremacy. But since Resha revealed a good portion of the details from Sumatra Chronicles to Raaha, the latter now knew that there were Mammoth Clan survivors outside.

Virala used Raaha’s knowledge to weave this convenient lie, which is how he forced them to cooperate with him. To be honest, he could indeed capture these Mammoth Clansmen, force them to have kids and make the newborn kids obtain the secondary Nature of Weaponisation.

But it would take a lot of time. And just to travel to their location would take him years, not to mention using their power. The Pranic Beasts he wanted were scattered all over the place. He would be wasting time running around for minimal benefit.

Virala planned to take advantage of the Mammoth Clan refugees in the future, but not now, since it was a race against time. The current situation was politically perfect for him to succeed in his plans. Hence, he went to the trouble of requesting a collaboration.

While Raaha and the Empyrean Tusks were busy discussing the information related to the Boar King’s body, Virala walked to a farther location with one body of Blola.

“This is cannibalism,” Blola commented, staring at Virala in disgust, “Do you seriously want to eat me?”

“Brangara’s growth accelerates when he consumes an Empyrean Tusk. You’ve read this in Sumatra Chronicles.” Virala said, “That’s due to the sheer volume of resources, lifeforce, and biomass present in an Empyrean Tusk, all refined by their Prana for centuries.”

Tertiary Body Stage 1—Brangara!

“Why consume me then?” Blola was confused, “I’m not an Empyrean Tusk.”

“You were one at the start before the Parute King Seed sprouted in it and consumed it to become the Transcendent Eater.” Virala said, “But that’s irrelevant. In terms of nutritional value, the Transcendent Eater is only inferior to an Empyrean Tusk. But you’re a plant-type Pranic Beast now. You can grow endlessly. So, by continuing to eat you, I’ll be able to grow at a tremendous speed.”

He patted his stomach, “This is robust enough to digest the Transcendent Eater’s body and grow accordingly.”

Moreover, he had the power of a Mystic Ewworm, a Pranic Beast that consumed the shit of other Pranic Beasts to grow. It was why he targeted it in the first place.

Through the Empyrean Boar King body, Virala will consume the Transcendent Eater’s body little by little. As his digestive system finishes the process, a lot of shit will be produced in its rectum, which was perfect for the Ewworm.

Basically, by taking advantage of the Empyrean Boar King’s voracious appetite and consumption characteristics, he could also accelerate the growth of his Mystic Ewworm. This way, it wouldn’t take 176 years for his Mystic Ewworm form to reach maturity.

Besides, Virala asked for one body, but he wasn’t planning to consume the latter whole. That was unnecessary. What he wanted was the energy-dense flesh of the Transcendent Eater. So, he would be consuming parts of it as Blola continues to regenerate them.

This was Virala’s plan to blaze through the Life Stage as quickly as possible. Of course, there was one hindrance towards that, which was his Mammoth Clan self.

As long as that body exists, Virala could never reach the 2-Life Stage for his current body. Only after the Mammoth Clan Virala reaches the peak of the Body Stage could Virala condense a second body.

And of course, there was a conflict there. Upon reaching the peak of the Body Stage, the Mammoth Clan Virala could first condense a body. The moment he succeeds, then he’ll be the one at 2-Life Stage.

Virala would remain at the Body Stage, helpless. And if he misses the timing again, the Mammoth Clan Virala would enter the 3-Life Stage. Worst of all, since the Mammoth Clan Virala was building his body using Tusk bone powder, he knew exactly when he was reaching the peak, which was a conscious decision.

So, he could stall for as long as he wants, since he has to build his body on his own. The initiative always lay with him, allowing him to quickly condense bodies and grow in strength, all while Virala sat at the side, twiddling his thumb while remaining stuck at the peak of the Body Stage.

Even if they were pretty much part of different races now, from a cultivational standpoint, both bodies of Virala were the same individual. So, as long as both were alive, the highest cultivation attainable to either party was the 9-Life Stage.

‘It’s a jab at my potential.’ Virala was still unrelenting on his primary objective, ‘I need to kill my Mammoth Clan body.’

“Let’s start,” He said and stared at the figure of Blola morph into the Transcendent Eater. They had picked a secluded enough location, having wiped out the local Pranic Beasts already. Hence, they could continue with the process without interruption.

Virala in his Empyrean Boar King form approached the Transcendent Eater and gobbled up a branch, sucking it in like it was a noodle. As the content entered his stomach and was acted upon by his digestive fluids, a steady stream of Prana and nutrition filled his body, allowing him to grow.

Tertiary Body Stage 4—Empyrean!

Secondary Body Stage 4—Mystic!

Virala transformed into a full-fledged Empyrean Boar King, reaching a height of thirty metres. Following that, from his butthole jutted out a long tail, an extension of his full-fledged Mystic Ewworm form.

Virala had simultaneously activated both the transformations. Currently, his body was like a train with two compartments—

The first compartment being Empyrean Boar King and the second being Mystic Ewworm. In terms of battle potential, it was seriously imbalanced, since he didn’t mix up the two bodies from a functional aspect.

But that wasn’t the goal. Virala only wanted to focus on the Mystic Ewworm’s growth. Hence, he grew it as part of his digestive system, with its head positioned as his rectum.

“My eyes!” By mistake, Blola gazed at Virala’s form, feeling like he had seen something he never ought to, “Erase my recent memory! Shit!”

“Shut up, bastard!” Virala cursed upon hearing Blola’s remarks. Unwilling to be distracted, he filtered out the latter’s voice and focused on his growth.

A few hours spanned past and he managed to consume a quarter of the Transcendent Eater’s body by mass, feeling nauseous already, ‘How the fuck does that pig consume fucking Empyrean Tusks like they are nothing?’

“I have the same body!” Virala roared, “I’m not eating up to my full potential!”
