I’ll Surpass The MC

Varahan Enclave!

Arriving at a sudden halt from a high-speed run in his human form was Brangara, looking around the place as he frowned, ‘Did any of those bastards enter my home?’

“Check them out!” He said and released dozens of Tangible Natures of Razor Rats, one of the native Pranic Beast races of the Varahan Enclave.

Primary Nature—Shredded Lunge!

Razor Rats lived in the swamps of the Varahan Enclave and spent their time hiding right underneath the water surface. The moment a Yoked Wyrm appears near the swamp, it’ll lunge towards its target at great speeds, unleashing a flux of wind at the end of its path that is capable of shredding its opponent.

Brangara casually swallowed a group of Razor Rats and condensed their Natures in his Astral World as Tangible Natures. Following that, he manifested them outside, making them condense in the same shape as their original bodies.

At his command, the Razor Rats spread across the Varahan Enclave, intending to search for any traces of outsiders. Brangara continued to consume more Razor Rats and spat them out as Tangible Natures to help with the search.

By now, he had a good handle on his power. The number of Tangible Natures he could store in his Astral Chart was limited to 100. But that didn’t mean the total number of Tangible Natures in his control was limited to that.

Consider the current situation where he was sending out groups of Tangible Natures of Razor Rats. The moment he brought them outside his Astral World, it was no different from activating them. Therefore, they’ll dissipate once Brangara deactivates them.

There were a few ways in which they could dissipate. First was him voluntarily deactivating them. Second would be when the Tangible Natures used up all the Prana that was in their bodies. Without Prana to upkeep their function, they’ll dissipate. This characteristic was similar to Orakha’s Mystic Eaters.

After some experimentation, Brangara observed that he could technically release the Tangible Natures from his control. Once he does that, his Prana will no longer funnel into them. This was useful in situations where the Tangible Nature had to function beyond his Spirit Weapon range.

In terms of appearance, a Tangible Nature looked like a blurry counterpart of its original body, as if made out of coloured mist. Their physical strength varied depending on the Pranic Beast.

The Tangible Nature of an Empyrean Tusk was by far the strongest in his possession, as through Internal Inertial Gravity, the Tangible Nature had a tough body. Of course, as it wasn’t a living being, it couldn’t condense a biome within it.

The formation of a biome was only possible when it was equipped onto a living being. Making use of Brangara’s current power set became many times more complex than his Empyrean Boar King self.

Which Tangible Nature could function properly, which stood a chance against a Pranic Beast on its own, which Tangible Nature could he invest resources upon to grow through the Life Stage, etc? There was a lot that he had to consider.

Thankfully, one advantage he had with his current build was in being able to withstand swarm tactics better. ‘Especially against that bastard!’

If an army of Zingers were to attack him, he could swallow those in range and spit them out immediately as Tangible Natures. This way, he could use an army of Tangible Natures of Zingers against Zingers.

Conscious control was unnecessary, since the Tangible Natures retained their prior life’s intelligence. All they lacked was self-will and conscious thought. So, as long as he gave them some commands, they’ll execute the tasks on their own.

The Tangible Natures of Razor Rats were the same. After Brangara let go of his control on them, they continued to run through Varahan Enclave, driven by his command. Faint mist dissipated from their bodies as just to exist, they were consuming Prana.

So, this method wasn’t sustainable for anything long-term. As Brangara walked across the Varahan Enclave, the Razor Rats that finished scouting their respective spots returned to him. He consumed them and gained the relevant information. Following that, the remainder of their Tangible Nature forms were digested to generate Prana.

“Hmm, there’s nothing?” He frowned after a few days of search, failing to detect any traces of his enemies, ‘Yarsha was confident that they would be coming for us by now. Strange!’

He patted his pocket, clicking his tongue, “I forgot that I don’t have them anymore.”

They were Life Bombs holding Prana emulated into Virala’s Prana signature. Brangara obtained them from Amita Brimgan at the Brimgan Empire, using which he chased down Loot. Eventually, he used them all up, and during the Second Major Disaster, in his hurry to return to the rescue of his wife, he misplaced the empty Life Bombs.

He didn’t know where he dropped them. Back then, he wasn’t worried about losing them, since Amita would make him as many Life Bombs with Loot’s Prana signature. But now, that was no longer an option.

Amita Brimgan was merely another identity of the Royal Zinger, an enemy that rivalled him. “It has been three years since that bastard became the Royal Zinger. I thought he would have approached me to fight long ago.”

‘He must be scheming somewhere.’ Brangara thought, feeling pressured mentally. After all, when Amita made him help her, she didn’t even have a Spirit Container.

The Royal Zinger’s strength was threatening enough, but Brangara wasn’t pressured by that, instead, he was on guard against Inala’s schemes. Even when Inala had no semblance of strength, he dared scheme against the ultimate predator of Sumatra and succeeded.

It could be said that one of the biggest pieces that contributed to the birth of the Royal Zinger was Brangara. It was through his Prana that Inala obtained Wittral’s Nature of Subtle Terrain Domination.

But in truth, Brangara’s contributions were bigger than what he realised. After all, through his power, Inala wielded five Natures. Mammoth Clan male and Cooter Clan female, an unprecedented existence in the entirety of Sumatra’s history.

What Inala had achieved at that point was even more impressive than becoming a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast. And the greatest contributor towards making that a reality was Brangara.

Therefore, Brangara felt the pressure. When Inala did all that even when his strength could be considered ant-like before Brangara, his schemes would be even more terrifying, considering he was at the same level of existence as Brangara now, a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast.

“I’ll be prepared to face everything!” Brangara muttered as he arrived at a stop in the centre of the Varahan Enclave, having emptied all the Tangible Natures in his Astral World. Now, Astral World was a mere dot, for no Tangible Natures lived in it.

The size of the Astral World varied to accommodate the Tangible Natures living in it. So, it would be at its biggest if Brangara were to fill it up with Tangible Natures of Empyrean Tusks and Empyrean Snappers.

“Let’s see if this works.” He assumed Celestial Boar form and towered over the trees, becoming an existence no different from a moving hill. With a stretch of his hand, he grabbed over a dozen Petrified Geese and swallowed them whole.

In a matter of seconds, they were digested and appeared in his Astral World as Tangible Natures, “Nothing yet?”

“Let’s take it further.” He thought and consumed even more of them, steadily increasing the number of Tangible Natures of Petrified Geese in his Astral World.

“Still nothing?” He frowned after accumulating forty of them in his Astral World. “Fine, I’ll go all out then.”

The Celestial Boar carefully walked across the Varahan Enclave in order to avoid terraforming the place through the motion of his mountainous body. Due to his body’s density, he was a lot heavier than he looked.

In terms of overall weight, he was heavier than an Empyrean Tusk—when the weight of its biomes was ignored. As his body occupied a smaller volume than an Empyrean Tusk, he was a lot denser.

Hence, the impact of his steps was devastatingly worse on the environment. An Empyrean Tusk relies upon Internal Inertial Gravity to lessen the impact of its weight on the ground as much as possible.

Moreover, to avoid causing an earthquake, Empyrean Tusks moved slowly, controlling themselves to avoid running. At present, Brangara didn’t have Internal Inertial Gravity. He used them all up a the Attributed Region during the Second Major Disaster.

Hence, he had to exercise utmost caution to avoid trampling his home to ruins. It was a comical scene as the ultimate predator of Sumatra Continent tiptoed across the place and gently captured Petrified Geese to consume.

When Yarsha Zahara interrogated Yennda, a certain statement said by the latter became stuck in Brangara’s head. It was related to Resha’s death in Sumatra Chronicles and the state of the Empyrean Boar King.

Carrying over fifty Natures of Internal Inertial Gravity, the 10-

Life Stage Empyrean Boar King was an invincible existence, said to be able to fight even Silver Transcendents. Nothing could stop him. As a result, Resha died a dog’s death to him.

The point Brangara focused on here was the fact that he was said to wield the power of Internal Inertial Gravity in his maddened state—where he was fully influenced to consider himself an Empyrean Tusk—without actually activating the Nature.

This was a puzzling piece of information. How could he have displayed the effects of a Nature without activating it? As he thought about it, he got his answer immediately—influence.

When he had twenty-plus Natures of Internal Inertial Gravity, they formed a synergy in his Astral Chart and screamed at Empyrean Tusks to flee from him. As a result, all Empyrean Tusks were able to sense his position from far away.

In contrast, he couldn’t sense them. But that changed during the Fourth Major Disaster, where he could sense their position through the hunger he felt. At that time, having consumed enough Empyrean Tusk Natures, his mind was fully influenced by them to believe that he was an Empyrean Tusk.

Hence, the irony towards the climax of Sumatra Chronicles was that the Mammoth Clan was annihilated by an existence that was more Empyrean Tusk than Empyrean Tusks themselves.

When Yennda quoted it, Brangara had a thought process. The over fifty Natures of Interla Inertial Gravity didn’t just influence his mind, but his body and soul too. As a result, his Prana carried their influence, “Which had accumulated to a level on par with the effects of the Major Treasure of Attribute.”

“As a result, my Prana had the properties of Internal Inertial Gravity, which was the reason for the dialogue that I was more Empyrean Tusk than the Empyrean Tusks themselves.” As he muttered, Brangara consumed the last Petrified Geese, not holding 100 Tangible Natures of it in his Astral World.

He reverted to human form and sat in meditation, observing his Prana as he began to feel the influence from the Natures stack up. And slowly, the effect was being displayed, “So, it indeed works.”

Brangara felt his body faintly stiffening up as the influence on his Prana continued to grow. Upon seeing that, he grinned in excitement, “So that was what Sumatra Chronicles meant.”

“You’ve ended up helping me, Renduldu. As gratitude, I’ll kill you once I reach the Transcendent Worlds.” Brangara muttered as he stared at the Transcendent Worlds hovering in the sky, “If you’re observing me, stay put obediently. I’m coming for you.”

As he spoke, his body stiffened up further. The cause was the power of the Petrified Geese.
