Boom!
Booom!
Kaboom!
One after another, the Empyrean Supreme rammed its ginormous leg into the ground, stomping the Celestial Boar's absolute domain every single time. External Inertial Gravity slammed into the latter, constantly keeping the Major Treasure of Internal Inertial Gravity suppressed.
This allowed the Empyrean Supreme to keep the Celestial Boar suppressed. It then raised its Royal Zinger arms, condensed another sphere of bone that resembled a Prana Bomb in shape and threw it with force at the Celestial Boar, denting the recovered absolute domain once again.
'Almost there!' Resha grunted, feeling strain in his body as he was not only maintaining his Empyrean Supreme body, but was also using a combination of Mystic Bone and Empyrean 100 to transform his arms into the Royal Zinger's.
That wasn't all. Jutting out of his legs and burrowing into the ground were roots, rapidly absorbing minerals to funnel into his rapidly expanded biomes in an effort to fill them up as quickly as possible. Only then could he fully unleash the power of his Empyrean Supreme body.
Empyrean 100-Transcendent Eater!
Of Mystic Grade Pranic Beasts, Resha had the bodies of Royal Zinger, Transcendent Eater, Empyrean Boar King, and Mystic Ewworm stored in his Tertiary Nature of Empyrean 100. Through his Secondary Nature of Mystic Bone, he could selectively transform his body into body parts of the respective beasts.
Currently, he was using the arms of the Royal Zinger and roots of the Transcendent Eater. It was taking a toll on his mind due to the sheer scale at which he had to operate them. Moreover, unlike Brangara's case where the Celestial Boar was his body, Resha was using a transformation.
So, every second he maintained the Empyrean Supreme transformation consumed a large volume of Prana. He had topped it further with the Royal Zinger and Transcendent Eater Partial Transformations.
Boom!
The roots in his right leg retreated into the soles as the Empyrean Supreme lifted the leg and slammed it into the Celestial Boar once again, causing the absolute domain to burst like a bubble, and in response, cause the Celestial Boar's brain to explode too.
But unlike in the previous cases, Resha was more prepared this time. Immediately after the stomp, he reverted to human form, following which he assumed Mystic Ewworm form to quickly fly towards the exploded head of the Celestial Boar.
Right as its head started to regenerate, Resha's Mystic Ewworm form coiled in the centre and unleashed a repulsive force, preventing the head from regenerating. "Now!"
A Biome Bomb appeared beside him, carried by Inala who had arrived using the Major Treasure of flight. Resha was currently in a state of flight, so it served as a beacon to summon Inala at the perfect moment.
The Biome bomb exploded as out jumped Barla, Boul Brimgan, Virala, Yennda, and Yahard Tusk.
Secondary Nature-Thought condensation!
Yahard Tusk outlined his power onto Resha's External Inertial Gravity, granting it the property of plasma. This caused the brain muscles of the Celestial Boar to burn up, slowing down its regeneration further.
Tertiary Nature-Deity Fusion!
A powerful presence welled out of Boul Brimgan who assumed his Deity Fusion state, gathered all his Prana and unleashed a powerful beam of light, rapidly drilling into the Celestial Boar's joints. He grabbed the Celestial Boar by the arm using a series of Spirit Weapons in the shape of cuffs. A mouth opened in his elbow and pointed at the Celestial Boar's arm socket and blasted the beam.
Similarly, mouths appeared on his thighs and targeted the Celestial Boar's knees, drilling a hole. Finally, a massive mouth formed on his chest, condensed a vortex of Prana, and blasted it straight at the Celestial Boar's stomach.
Secondary Nature-Perfect Biome Domination!
[Sleep!]
[Sleep!]
[SLEEP!]
Inala blasted Tangible Piezo Slips one after another to turn the Celestial Boar's Prana sluggish. And through Perfect Biome Domination, he gained control over the region and then used his control to blast Piezo Slips upon activating his Tertiary Nature of Prana Stitch.
Prana Stitch-Piezo Slip!
The Piezo Slips were carved onto the Celestial Boar's body in large numbers, literally covering its surface, the insides of the nose, ear canals, food pipe, the hole being drilled into by Boul
Brimgan, etc.
They were filled with Inala's Prana. And as his Prana itself had the power of his Primary Nature, all the Piezo Slips began to voraciously absorb the Celestial Boar's Prana. An instant later, they began to form Biome Bombs.
Each Biome Bomb absorbed the Celestial Boar's Prana and Lifespan and condensed it into sparks that could eventually become a Bolt of Transcendence once enough of them was accumulated.
This rapid absorption slowed down the recovery of the Celestial Boar's absolute domain. As
the moment Prana spread around the Celestial Boar's body with the power of Subtle Terrain Domination, Biome Bombs appeared in large numbers and absorbed all traces of Prana.
"Almost there!" Resha roared as he applied External Inertial Gravity onto Astral World, preventing it from bringing out any Tangible Natures outside that could interfere with their actions. Astral World's functions were derived from an Empyrean Tusk's biomes. Therefore, as Resha fully understood the principle behind how it operated, he could prevent the Tangible Natures from exiting the Astral World.
Right as Boul Brimgan drilled holes through the Celestial Boar's joints, Virala slammed spikes of his bones through it, controlling them as Spirit Weapons to sabotage the Celestial Boar's joints. Blood spilled out of the spikes and invaded the latter's bloodstream, interfering with the flow of Prana.
Virala was invading from the inside, slowing down the Celestial Boar's recovery to the extreme. "How long?"
His forehead was slick with sweat as Virala was harnessing his psychokinesis to the limit, controlling his blood and bones through the Celestial Boar's body while resisting the latter's
regeneration.
"I'm ready!" Barla roared as she appeared at the Celestial Boar's back and unleashed Astral Puncture, blowing up the stomach region to fully reveal the Astral World. She grunted to form a small tunnel in Astral Puncture, through which Yennda's Comets travelled and made contact with the inner muscles of the Celestial Boar in the stomach region.
Immediately in response, the contact surface began to mutate. However, the sheer Prana quality was rapidly undoing the corruption, ensuring no fission being could be birthed.
But this was enough, as for the time being, the Celestial Boar's Prana was divided on all fronts, with its recovery means used to counter the mutations. Resha prevented the head from regenerating. Inala stopped the absolute domain from appearing while constantly draining the Celestial Boar of Prana and Lifespan.
Boul Brimgan made holes in the joints and Virala sealed them, constricting the Celestial Boar
from moving. Finally, once Barla made a hole, Yennda stopped the hole from catch up, revealing the Astral World fully, unguarded.
"Go!" Virala roared the moment he fully invaded the Celestial Boar's bloodstream and managed to constrict the entire body, slowing down the Prana flow.
"Do it!" Boul Brimgan shouted desperately as his Prana reserves were rapidly being drained, despite the orb attached to his back supplying him with Prana.
"Sever it, Inala!" Resha hollered as in response, Inala flew to the back of the Celestial Boar in
human form, staring at the Astral World that appeared no different from a small sky scrapper before him. He extended his hand and touched it, activating the prepared power derived from the combined activation of ten Minor Treasures.
Royal Split!
The power of the Royal Split gushed out of his hand and seeped into Astral World, 'Four
seconds! As long as we maintain this status quo for four...'
Clang!
His Prana failed to seep into the Astral World. Or rather, it was simply repelled away the moment it touched the surface. And then, Inala stared in realisation as his eyes widened in
absolute horror, "That...is impossible."
State of Unity—Unlimited Predator!
Once Brangara reached the 8-Life Stage, his Astral World began to passively unleash the
effect of Unlimited Predator, filling itself with it. As it was pretty much the Astral World's influence, even the Tangible Nature Minor Treasure of Prana Bomb in the Astral World
couldn't detect it.
However, even if Brangara unleashed State of Unity, Inala wouldn't have been shocked. After all, thanks to Ruvva, he already gained information about Unlimited Predator. And Yarsha Zahara had prematurely unleashed it a few times in the battle prior.
He had the means to counter Unlimited Predator. However, what horrified Inala was that
unlike the knowledge he had accumulated and verified through practical experience, of the fact that state of Unity couldn't be maintained for long, Brangara's case stated otherwise.
From the moment Brangara reached the 8-Life Stage, his Astral World could maintain Unlimited Predator in perpetuity. The time limitations only applied when Brangara unleashes it in his Spirit Weapon range.
But if limited to his Astral World, it could remain active forever. After all, Major Treasures
unleash their pillar of light endlessly.
As a Major Treasure itself, Astral World too ought to release its pillar of light. In this case, it
had simply condensed itself to unleash the effect of Unlimited Predator.
"Barla, use Astral Puncture once again!" Inala adapted to the change and condensed a Bolt of
Transcendence at the tip of his finger, using Perfect Biome Domination to shape it into a nail as he pointed it at Astral World.
Immediately in response, Astral Puncture slammed into the head of the nail, nailing it into Astral World. However, the moment it pierced through the defences of Unlimited Predator, the Celestial Boar's body flinched. And then, it was unleashed in full swing.
State of Unity-Unlimited Predator!
"Argh!" Resha roared as his body was rapidly getting devoured from the skin up, layer by
layer. The blood that Virala had seeped into the Celestial Boar's body was digested within a second, followed by the bone spikes lodged in the joints.
The layer of the Celestial Boar's inner body that was infected was straight up cut off and
digested. The beam of light unleashed by Boul Brimgan wasn't affected. His body too was alright, as he was in his Human avatar form, which was just a mineral lump.
However, he was the only one who could endure the damage. Everyone else, including Inala
were rapidly getting digested by Unlimited Predator.
"Faster! Hurry!" Inala roared as he lodged the nail deeper into Astral World, stopping
suddenly as his head vanished.
"What...?" Resha stared blankly to notice his surroundings were normal now. Unlimited
Predator had disappeared. An instant later, he realised what had happened, turning around in
a fluster to see a sphere wrapping around Inala's head alone.
It was Unlimited Predator, connected by Astral World with a thin pillar of light. It had
enveloped Inala's head alone, targeting him with all its power, for he was judged to be the
most dangerous.
Thump!
Suddenly, his entire Mystic Ewworm body shivered from goosebumps, noticing a root
structure of optic nerves form before him and condense an eyeball that glared at him with a predatory fury. 'Shit! He's regaining control!'
Without Virala slowing down the Celestial Boar's circulation of Prana, its recovery recovered
to normalcy, causing the head to begin regenerating rapidly, despite the combined powers of Resha and Yahard Tusk stacking damage upon it.
"Yo...u.....fucke...rs...!" The vocal cords began to regenerate as a furious voice of Brangara
resounded. But then, a pair of claws dug into the regenerating neck and tore it apart. It was Inala who had assumed Royal Zinger form.
Despite his head getting severed, he hadn't died. His sheer quality of Prana allowed him to
stay alive with a severed head for at least a couple of minutes. Besides, he had embedded countless orbs in his body, all of which were supplying him lifeforce.
These Mystic Grade Biome Bombs containing Bolts of Transcendence, condensed using
Inala's Prana had enough of his mind aspect in them to continue thinking on his behalf, as if
he never lost a head in the first place.
[Barla!]
One of the Biome Bombs unleashed a shriek as Astral Puncture followed suit, growing
stronger every moment as it slammed into the nail and drilled it deeper into Astral World.
Upon consuming the Royal Zinger's head, Unlimited Predator enveloped the Celestial Boar's Spirit Weapon range once again, beginning to consume everyone in the vicinity.
"Shit..." Yennda muttered as his Prime Enran body was about to collapse, having mostly been
consumed already.
"You...are the most delicious!" Brangara's voice resounded as immediately, Virala began to scream in pain as if he was immersed in a bath of scalding hot acid that was eating into his flesh. He was rapidly being digested as a ginormous stream of Prana surged into Astral World.
Minor Treasure-Eddy Blade!
Minor Treasure-Prana Shockx10!
All the absorbed Prana was unleashed in the form of blades, propelled by shockwaves as
damaged everyone. Though they weren't powerful enough to kill anyone at the scene, they were numerous enough to riddle everyone with injuries, which only made it easy for Unlimited Predator to consume the leaking blood and severed bits and pieces of flesh.
"Dammit!" Right as his body was shredded into bits, Yennda leapt towards Barla and touched her, transferring his actual body into her. The Prime Enran body he was inhabiting was
instantly consumed.
[Hurry!]
A Biome bomb shrieked as the power of Royal Split seeped through the nail-of Bolt of Transcendence—as Barla spiked the strength of Astral Puncture slamming it. As long as they managed to push it into Astral World, Inala would be able to unleash the effect of Royal Split.
As long as he manages to split at least two Astral Worlds, the passiveness of Unlimited Predator would vanish. However, even as Barla gave her best, the nail was gradually getting pushed out of Astral World.
'I didn't want to reveal it if I could help it. But the situation is worse than my initial expectations. Dammit!' The Biome Bombs thought in unison as they gathered some Prana
and unleashed a Zinger Shriek.
[Rush in, Root!]
