I'll Surpass The MC - Chapter 1080: Sumatra’s Defender

Chapter 1080: Sumatra’s Defender

Thanks to his reincarnation experience, Inala was able to perceive his Soul. It was a sea of starlight swirling around a jet-black solid that seemed inert.

The starlight swirled around the black inertness, appearing like a blackhole that was swallowing a gigantic star. The starlight swirled around the horizontal axis, little by little losing in number while the inert solid grew accordingly in size.

In the vertical axis, bursting out of both ends of the inert solid was a starlight beam. The upper beam expanded and morphed into a bridge with churning waves resembling the sea, connecting with the mind space. The lower beam branched out like the blood vessels and connected to the heart of the body.

The bridge wasn’t a bridge in the traditional sense. It was a connection between the body and the mind. And towards each side, the bridge morphed in a way that was best suited for interaction.

Arriving here, a Pranic Beast from other Continents would have to manually transmit data from the mindspace through the bridge and into the body. And similarly, it would have to gush in the body’s stamina through the bridge and into the mindspace. It was a time-consuming process.

However, Inala didn’t have to worry about that. After all, he had an absolute cheat in this regard.

Mystic Sumatra Art!

Upon activation, it imprinted the characteristics of Prana and blood on each other. Prana had the mind aspect. And by imprinting it on the blood, it was the same as sending data from the mind space through the bridge and into the body.

Similarly, when the blood’s characteristics were imprinted on the Prana, one of which was the mind aspect, it was the same as sending stamina into the mindspace through the bridge.

A typical Pranic Beast from another Continent would have to constantly funnel the two sides into each other and maintain the funnel. But for Inala, thanks to the imprints, the exchange between both sides was permanent.

The exchange was already happening from the moment Inala started using Mystic Sumatra Art.

As the pillar of light from the Major Treasure of Weapon slammed into him, it influenced the Billakin naturally growing in his heart, creating the Influenced Region of Armoury. The Major Treasure of Weapon was created using a Brully’s Billakin in the first place.

Therefore, they resonated easily and created Armoury in Inala’s heart. The influence from this Influenced Region harmonised with the interaction between the mind and the soul, shaping and giving it a direction.

A Brully’s build progressed from the result and then figured out the steps. The Major Treasure of Weapon was the final result.

Inala’s Secondary Nature was based on Weapon’s functions. Similarly, his Tertiary Nature was being based upon the Influenced Region of Armoury that the Major Treasure of Weapon can create.

Armoury shaped Inala’s presence, influencing the interaction between his mind and Soul. This influence will decide on the direction his Tertiary Nature will take.

Normally, a Pranic Beast didn’t have to worry about such a thing. After all, as long as they succeeded in the process, they were bound to get a Soul Path Tertiary Nature. This would remain the same for everyone in a respective Race.

If the Brully Race on Sumatra tread the Body Path, they too will obtain the same Tertiary Nature, based on the Influenced Region of Armoury, for the method they use to gain a Tertiary Nature will be built following the essence of Armoury.

Using the Armoury’s influence will allow a slightly easier time in creating a Tertiary Nature.

In Inala’s case, he had to use the Armoury’s influence primarily due to the existence of the Royal Zinger, to which the Soul of the individual known as ’Inala’ was tied.

Therefore, in a traditional path, the grey tower, and in extension, the Royal Zinger too would take part in the process. A Soul Path Tertiary Nature would indeed be created as a result. However, it wouldn’t be related to the Brully Race and instead would be heavily influenced by the Zinger Race.

As a result, by relying on Armoury’s influence, Inala was preventing the involvement of the Grey Tower.

Tertiary Nature—Spirit Avatar!

Steadily, his body began to assume a Human Avatar form. Both his hands turned into Billakin Spirit Weapons. And by relying on a Brully’s characteristics to regenerate its hands, Billakin was being produced at a faster pace.

And as it was produced, it came under the influence of the Nature of Spirit Avatar. In real time, it was as if Inala was building a Human Avatar. He was doing this to increase the influence Armoury had on him.

Slowly, his Billakin Human Avatar form continued to progress until soon, he had attained a fully Human Avatar form.

Boom!

The influence from Armoury fully occupied the interaction between his Astral Sea and his mind. Inala watched the data in his mind space flowing into the bridge formed by the Astral Sea.

And the shape it was taking was influenced by Armoury, creating a set direction for the result. Inala waited until his body adapted to the stress, took in a deep breath, and subtly opened his eyes to see the two golden humanoids, numbered one and two, observing him with care, ready to intervene the moment something went amiss.

“Thank you,” He said and cut off the connection between the body and the mind. His mind space had been filled with the stamina from his body, thanks to the usage of Mystic Sumatra Art’s imprinting capabilities.

And once he used Armoury to shape the interaction between his mind and Astral Sea, Inala emptied his mind space into the latter.

A transparent barrier created by Armoury enveloped the grey tower, cutting it off from the rest of the mind space, just enough for the process to succeed temporarily without the Royal Zinger’s influence.

Ka-Boom!

There was a pulse as the Astral Sea’s motion was impeded. The two beams curved into the revolving sea to form a singularity right before the inert solid. As the singularity began to form, it revolved around the inert solid like a satellite.

In the future, the more it revolved, the greater it will target the inert solid and rattle it, generating more solid beams out of its vertical axis in the process.

“Ku…Kuek!” Veins popped all over his body, bursting from the strain. Inala felt as if every fibre of his being was getting sucked into the singularity that was being formed, “More…MORE!”

He had to endure until the singularity stabilised. Otherwise, it would collapse and damage his body, mind, and soul in the process.

In his mindspace, the grey tower trembled faintly as its border showed signs of cracking. It wasn’t being split from Inala’s mind. No, his mind was about to break, for the grey tower was a singularity, the product of a State of Unity.

“AARGH!” His head was ripped apart as Inala screeched like a mindless banshee. A moment later, a semblance of clarity returned to his eyes. It was then he noticed that stretching out from the grey tower was the Royal Zinger’s arm, which had grabbed onto his mind space to forcefully pull together the two collapsed portions of the mind space.

’You…were capable of that all along?’ The thought came to his mind seeing how easily the Royal Zinger passed through the grey tower to interact with his mind space, ’Right, why did I start treating the grey tower as my shield? It is the Royal Zinger’s power, which I used in my past life to defend the mind of my present.’

Of course, the Royal Zinger could use its power. And the grey tower was a part of its power. So, its arm passing through it wasn’t anything surprising. It was just that, Inala felt he was made to consider it impossible until now.

’Scheming against myself…is this a form of self-hypnotism or something?’ In a semi-deranged state, Inala’s laughter echoed as he focused more and more on his singularity. Using Mystic Sumatra Art, he controlled his Prana to stabilise the process and enhance its capabilities in order to complete the singularity.

He didn’t just want to attain a State of Unity. He wanted to have a State of Unity that he could realistically use, for at least a minute or two.

He didn’t have the time to train its usage from a few seconds at the start and increase it over time, which would take decades before he reached the one-minute mark. The training time was as exhausting as reaching the peak with Deity Fusion for a Brimgan Royal, without any external assistance.

Hence, the moment Inala saw the Royal Zinger taking action, he straight up forced himself to maintain the singularity and make it as big as possible before it stabilised. However, this also meant he had to endure the feeling of his body, mind, and soul being ripped apart, moulded, and condensed into a unity.

He was losing sight of his existence the more he maintained the state.

Staring at the sight from nearby, the golden humanoid number two uttered, having revealed more emotions than his entire life in the past few days, “Even he is in such a sordid state. I was slightly delusional in thinking we could have more State of Unity users, but…”

“It is a clear indicator of the level you need to be to attain a State of Unity.” The golden humanoid number one said as he nudged towards Inala, “They have to be at this level at the very least in terms of might, willpower, and preparations.”

He continued to speak while eyeing the Royal Zinger sweating within the grey tower, “Even that existence is giving its everything to strengthen Leukeu as much as possible.”

“Then,” The golden humanoid number one raised his hand, and in response, gathered the entirety of the Influenced Region of Armoury created in recent days. Boosted by Prana Circuit, its production increased by a notch, which he redirected into Inala. “Let us assist him too, with our everything.”

“Got it,” The golden humanoid number two took control of a portion of the Prana Circuit and released Prana in the form of a string. It morphed to fully resemble Inala’s Prana, containing all the influences present in his body at the moment.

It also changed to adapt to the changing demographic of influences in Inala’s body in real-time. And then, the string of Prana pierced through Inala’s chest, surged into his three Spirit Containers, and seamlessly integrated with his Prana.

It allowed him to endure the process further.

“With three hearts, a Brully is capable of progressing faster through both the States of Harmony and Unity.” The golden humanoid number two commented, “That is their greatest advantage.”

“Have you ever expected such an era to appear?” The golden humanoid number one chuckled, “An era where the Pranic Beasts involved in three of our recorded Invasions is getting significant development in the benefit of Sumatra.”

“The Brimgan Empire is harnessing the Mudropper’s prowess,” The golden humanoid number two nodded with a smile and eyed Inala, “Like father, like daughter, I must say. To think his daughter is set on fully harnessing the Death Knell’s capabilities.”

“And most of all,” The golden humanoid number one stared at Inala in pride, “The man in question has himself elevated the Brully Race to extreme heights. And now,”

His mouth parted wide in excited insanity. Flailing his hands, he roared as his face was lit up by a beam of light that burst into existence in his field of vision, “A Brully has risen to the highest seat of power,”

“As Sumatra’s Defender!”
