"Keuk!" Wittral screamed when the second Bolt of Transcendence slammed into him, overwhelmed both physically and mentally. His body was melting as it was genetically fusing with the Sumatra Gold.
The Royal Zinger genes had taken root while the Empyrean Snapper genes were melted into their purest essence and mixed with the information present in the Bolts of Transcendence, which had been carefully accumulated by Inala.
It consisted of the Quip Clan's information, from Mystic Royal Art to the powers of every Zinger variant. They fused with the Empyrean Snapper genes and modified them accordingly, turning them into a Zinger derivative.
These modified genes piled upon the Royal Zinger genes, harmonising with each other as the effects of Nectar were absorbed, stabilised, and enhanced to the extreme by the Sumatra Gold. They transformed into pure energy and became encoded into Wittral's genetic information.
"W-What is happening now…" Wittral stopped speaking as his body began to melt, his voice cut off mid-sentence as his throat melted, followed by his head, limbs, and eventually the chest too.
By the end of the third Bolt of Transcendence, all that remained was a swirling heart. Upon seeing it, Inala smiled, 'It's a success.'
Spirit Weapon Form!
All Cooter Clansmen were capable of assuming Spirit Weapon form. And now, the modified genes of the Empyrean Snapper granted Wittral the same form, which was why he was currently present in the shape of his heart.
The heart thumped and began to generate faint mist through its arteries as gradually, veiny patterns similar to a bolt of lightning coursed across the surface. As time passed, a fourth Bolt of Transcendence slammed into it, causing the heart to regain sentience.
Finally, the fifth Bolt of Transcendence slammed into it, engraving all the information regarding the Quip Clan into the heart. Immediately after that, Prana churned out of the heart and formed a layer, filling up the insides.
Lightning bolts spread out from the heart and formed the nervous system, including the brain. Soon, the layer expanded in size and solidified, becoming a human woman with wavy hair that cascaded upon her back like a waterfall. Once formed, the eyes shot open, glazed at first before gaining sentience.
A few seconds later, the woman opened her mouth, "Haaa…huuu…heeee…"
It took a few hours before the woman gathered her bearings, only now recognising Inala, "Is it…done?"
"Yes," Inala heaved a sigh in relief that he had succeeded and asked, "How do you feel?"
"Strong," The woman replied and clenched her hand into a fist, "I never thought something like this was possible. My current self seems to be similar to a Cooter Clansman but elevated to a whole other realm of existence."
"How is this possible?"
"I did tell you about it before." Inala said, "My Royal Zinger form is predominantly influenced by an Empyrean Snapper, since I have your heart. So, the Royal Zinger genes combined with your Empyrean Snapper genes to result in a state superior to a Cooter Clansman."
"It makes sense." Wittral nodded, grinning soon after, "I never thought there could exist a fourth being on par with an Empyrean Tusk, Empyrean Snapper, and Gold Empyrean Tentacle."
"Now, I am that existence."
Expert Gold Grade Pranic Beast—Zinger Representative!
The strongest existence that could be birthed in the Quip Clan and one capable of managing the entire Clan, not to mention having enough strength to govern an entire region without issues. That was the Zinger Representative.
In the absence of the Royal Zinger, the Zinger Representative could control the Zinger race in a fashion similar to Inala. After all, the Zinger Representative too would be treated as a Deity in the Quip Clan.
Primary Nature—Biome Nature!
This was the result of the fusion of Wittral's three Natures of Subtle Terrain Domination, Empyrean Mist Deity, and Subtle Imprison.
Wittral's actual body was his heart, similar to the transformed state of the Cooter Clansmen in their Spirit Weapon form. Only when this gets destroyed would Wittral die. But that was easier said than done, as the heart was as tough as an Influenced Region.
Biome Nature will allow Wittral to create a Biome Bomb around his heart passively. And as Wittral consumes food and generates Prana, this Prana will condense within the Biome Bomb in any form he pleases.
It could be a simple terrain, it could be flesh, it could be grey sand, Attributed Region, or even a Bolt of Transcendence.
Basically, all the terrain that a Gold Biome Bomb could create can be condensed here. And once condensed, they'll serve as Wittral's body. This meant that Wittral could control them the same as he controlled his body.
The difference between his control and Inala's Perfect Biome Domination was that in Inala's case, he was using psychokinesis to move matter in his Biome Bombs. Wittral wouldn't be using psychokinesis.
In his case, all the terrain built in his Biome Bomb was considered a part of his body. Basically, the functions of both Biome Bomb and Perfect Biome Domination were integrated into Biome Nature.
Conversely, Wittral was only able to have one Biome Bomb per body. This was the limitation. But that didn't matter as when given enough time, Wittral could condense a body purely out of the Attributed Region, while keeping a nervous system made using Bolts of Transcendence and a stomach composed of grey sand.
It would be a terrifying combo. And thanks to the effects of Biome Nature, Wittral wouldn't be limited by any weight limits, since everything he builds into his Biome Bomb was considered a part of his body.
In the future, all Zinger Representatives will be able to do the same. Every single one of them will be an existence standing head and shoulders above all Gold Grade Pranic Beasts.
After all, they were growth-type creatures, growing in strength the longer they lived. In a one-on-one battle, a Zinger Representative was capable of defeating both Empyrean Tusks and Empyrean Snappers.
A young Zinger Representative will lose without a doubt; but one that had cultivated for over a millennium, having built a body of Attributed Region will win easily. This is especially true since Zinger Representatives were Clansmen, meaning they could progress through the Life Stage.
The advantages of Biome Nature didn't end there. Remember the aspect where the stomach could be created out of grey sand? It was terrifying once the Zinger Representative's body was completed.
Wittral could simply consume everything in his wake, from plants to water to soil. Once they enter his stomach, they'll be assimilated by the grey sand and turned into grey sand too.
After they become grey sand, the body can convert them into other forms and supply them to the rest of the body. They'll become part of the body in the same way food becomes part of a living being's body.
It wasn't possible to consume resources nonstop, as the body needs to convert the resources into grey sand and transform them into suitable locations/forms for the body. But this also implied that the Zinger Representative wasn't limited to absorbing Prana or lifeforce to grow.
Consuming resources would also do. Upon reaching this line of thought, Wittral stared at Inala with a renewed gaze, one filled with respect and admiration, "From today onwards, the Wittral of the past is dead. Whether it be Wittral or Dhya, both are irrelevant."
"As the Zinger Representative, I'll assume a new identity for myself." Followed by a smile, the woman stared at Inala and announced, "Henceforth, I'll go by the name of Zhya."
"Zhya Echo!"
