?Underneath the Brimgan Empire's palace, situated inside the Golden Giant's stomach was Brandal Brimgan in his Kinesis Deity form, his eyelids fluttering as he was seated upon a Spirit Container in the shape of a large stool.
Unlike his original Spirit Container, or his Human Avatar for that matter which was pure gold, there were jet-black veins across his entire Kinesis Deity form, pulsating with a mysterious power. These veins caused the stool to hum with a subtle energy wave as they absorbed the influence of the Golden Giant, drinking it like a thirsty camel.
Orakha had already modified his Human Avatar through the combined usage of his Primary and Tertiary Natures. The modification was done to capitalise on the influence of the Golden Giant through which both the creation of a Secondary Nature and the upgradation of Gold Kinesis Art would happen.
Best of all, Orakha had created it intending to transform Brandal Brimgan as his mobile, revival base, having encoded the information of his Secondary Nature of Daily Checkpoint into it.
By now, all Spirit Weapons created by Brandal Brimgan would have a checkpoint loaded in them, allowing Orakha to revive there when necessary. This was to facilitate ease of movement for Orakha in the future.
As long as Brandal Brimgan splits his bodies and sends them away, Orakha can revive at the location of each body once a day.
Daily Checkpoint had a limitation that only one location could be designated as a checkpoint. Therefore, if Orakha were to designate Arlfarah Mansion as the checkpoint, no matter where he dies, he would be revived there.
But what if he designated Brandal Brimgan's Human Avatar as a checkpoint? This 10-Life Stage cultivator could split into ten bodies, with each heading off in different directions. Technically, he was a single entity.
Therefore, while Orakha was sticking to the rules of his Secondary Nature, he was also creating the means to take advantage of it by understanding its intricacies better. The modification done on Brandal Brimgan's Human Avatar was to deepen this checkpoint.
The Golden Giant's influence was used to further this arrangement to ensure it became functionally realistic even if Brandal Brimgan were to split his bodies and send each to different locations of Sumatra.
It was said that once Gold Kinesis Art was cultivated to the extreme and used on a Spirit Weapon, it would mutate and birth a Secondary Nature in the cultivator. As Gold Kinesis Art was a Gold Grade cultivation technique, this process was too slow.
To date, all Brimgan Royals reached the end of their lifespan before attaining the limit of refining their Spirit Weapon to birth a Secondary Nature. The Golden Giant had been set up in such a way that this process could be hastened under its influence.
Thereby, it was now guaranteed that Brandal Brimgan would succeed in obtaining a Secondary Nature. Had it been him figuring it out originally, the Secondary Nature he gained, as a result, would have directly elevated his strength to the level he became the second strongest on Sumatra.
Unfortunately, his mind was destroyed by Virala using the Golden Giant. And now, this empty husk had a newborn mind that was generated thanks to the information Orakha had fed him.
This newborn mind was being nurtured under the influence of Brandal Brimgan's Prana and Primary Nature. And with the modification done to his Human Avatar, even if he succeeds, he'll never see the light of the day.
"Hmm, that's one," Orakha muttered as his Mystic Eater extracted a Minor Treasure from Brandal Brimgan's body. A group of Mystic Eaters were currently working on carving a thirteenth eye on the Golden Giant.
Orakha's Primary Nature allowed him to build a compound Human Avatar. Meaning, how the combination of multiple minerals brought out a certain effect was something he had knowledge and experience about.
It took him millions of trials and errors to determine the right combination for his Compound Human Avatar's function of Selectively Permeable Plasma. Figuring out the formulae and recipe for something was easy for him.
While spying on Virala's actions in the Golden Giant, Orakha had been gathering data about its functions. Its setup was barebones at best from his perspective. In the months he had been waiting, Orakha came up with more than a hundred variations to improve the Golden Giant's functions.
He had also determined an arrangement of minerals to create a Human Avatar whose effect was no different from the Golden Giant. The materials for it could be sourced right from the Golden Giant.
And now that his second body that was fighting at the Varahan Mansion had gotten hold of many pieces of Sumatra Gold, he could improve the function of his Human Avatar and increase its potency to the extreme.
He only needed one piece of Sumatra Gold per Human Avatar per his calculations. Therefore, ten pieces to improve his Human Avatar and another ten to improve Brandal Brimgan's for a total of twenty. That was all he wanted.
Anything beyond that was just excess that he could think of a use for in the future. And best of all, him stealing them meant less for Yarsha Zahara. 'As long as she is unable to reach the peak of the Body Stage, I can kill her anytime.'
This was the reason Inala too wasn't desperate to kill Yarsha Zahara. As long as she doesn't reach the peak of the Body Stage, Orakha remained a hard counter to her abilities. Moreover, as long as there was a part of her body that was unable to transform into her Human Avatar, Orakha's Mystic Eaters could enter her body from there and devour her Sumatra Gold.
She would be no different from a sinking ship in his eyes, one walking with a pile of riches. As his Mystic Eaters devour the Sumatra Gold fused into her Human Avatar, Yarsha Zahara's strength would continue to plummet.
Currently, Virala was at the Varahan Mansion. 'After rescuing his child, he'd probably take her with him into the Attributed Region. There might be Minor Treasures suitable for the both of them there that he could use to take care of her better.'
It meant that Orakha had free reins to do whatever he wanted with the Golden Giant. Even though there was a Major Treasure within the Golden Giant, Virala hadn't fused with it, for the influence it generated would negatively affect his Tusk and Tool partial transformations.
Instead, simply cultivating in the Golden Giant's stomach granted him greater benefits. That was why he didn't interfere with the twelve Minor Treasures and the Major Treasure forming the Golden Giant.
As for the eight Minor Treasures within Brandal Brimgan, none were what Virala desired, as all their function was in regards to enhancing the Spirit Weapon. His Mystic Ewworm was capable of performing most of their functions.
As Minor Treasures influenced living beings, only fusing with Minor Treasures in line with his power set was beneficial. Hence, Virala refrained from grabbing any Minor Treasures from Brandal Brimgan.
Now, Orakha was using them to improve the Golden Giant's functions. Soon, he added the thirteenth Minor Treasure in the newly made eye on the Golden Giant. The carving was done by changing the influence within the Golden Giant to birth the eye while in the presence of his Mystic Eaters.
One after another, as new eyes were created, he added in Minor Treasures, watching the potency of the influence within the Golden Giant increase exponentially, causing Brandal Brimgan's body to mutate in response.
A synchronous effect was being generated between the two as Orakha watched in excitement. Once this gets completed, he would be able to make the power of the Major Treasure of Deity exclusive to himself.
