Influenced Region-Armoury!
In the centre of the ivory sand was a vortex, built out of a dense sand cluster. Swirling voids appeared in the intersecting paths of multiple streams of ivory sand merging into the cluster. These voids were gates leading into the interior of the cluster, where the Spirit Weapons were stored.
Every single Spirit Weapon was contained by a small vortex of ivory sand, maintained by the formless power of psychokinesis ever-present. The ivory sand was merely the medium in use, while the true Influenced Region was the mass of psychokinesis that had coagulated within the cluster.
Originally, shining in the centre was the Major Treasure of Weapon, constantly using its influence to build the Armoury. Now, it had completed its purpose as Armoury was finished. The moment this was done, it ought to have shone its pillar of light, sparking the start of the Third Major Disaster.
But right as it was about to do so, Inala appeared with a Gold Grade Pranic Beast, made it fuse with the Major Treasure of Weapon, and fled. The entire operation barely took him a few hours.
Moreover, most of the time was spent on analysing Armoury to judge where the Major Treasure of Weapon was located. Once that was done, he threw a Biome Bomb whose terrain was fully composed of the Attributed Region water. The sheer might behind the throw, adding onto its weight served as an unstoppable force as it casually pierced through the sandstorm and approached the centre.
Inala purposefully made his aim slightly off, which meant the Biome Bomb moved a few metres away from the Weapon. A string in the centre assumed flight at the perfect time, using which Inala appeared within the Biome Bomb and walked out.
Using a Gold Grade Pranic Beast, he made it touch the Major Treasure of Weapon, and once the fusion was successful, vanished from the place. The entire sequence of events transpired beyond the speed at which Armoury could react.
With such casualness, Inala obtained the Major Treasure of Weapon. Following that, he used the same method to drop a large number of Biome Bombs in the vortex, filled with Grehha's bone mist that seeped out and turned the surrounding sand into ivory sand.
Sand was merely the most conveniently available material in the Kalahatra Desert, and hence was used to build Armoury by the psychokinesis forming it. There was no change in its functions when it was turned into ivory sand, which was why it didn't resist in the slightest as Inala did his thing.
But once there was enough ivory sand, the power of Mystic Bone Art could permeate through it, which gradually took hold of the psychokinesis present in Armoury. That was how Resha could control Armoury. Grehha too could do so, at a level better than Resha, since he had developed Mystic Bone Art the furthest.
And currently, Pet entered Armoury and arrived in the centre, for Grehha intended to man it. Grehha too was in on the plan to use Yennda through Harrala. Irrespective of his thoughts, he was aware of their situation and what they needed to do to kill Brangara.
Pet entered the centre and stared at the figure of Harrala seated in sadness, taking tiny bone spheres out of her mouth that expanded and shattered to reveal a group of Mammoth Clansmen.
They were perplexed, unable to comprehend what was happening. However, under Harrala's orders, they steadily entered the Biome Bomb positioned nearby. And every time the Biome Bomb was full, it vanished, dropped the people at a safe spot and returned.
It was the one armed with the Major Treasure of Flight.
Seeing Pet's arrival, Harrala addressed Grehha, "I'm almost done, Uncle. What's happening outside?"
"Virala is down for the count. Inala is not in a state to fight and the others are using their everything against Brangara." Grehha let out a forlorn sigh as he approached Harrala and hugged her, "I apologise for putting you through this. But Yennda is a necessity to end this war. And he won't use his power against Brangara, since doing so will put the entire continent at risk, which will inevitably bring you harm."
Yennda's Pranic Beats form-Tangible Epidemic-was born through the genes of the Celestial Boar. Thereby, the one he could harm the best was also the Celestial Boar. However, there was a price to pay for doing so, a devastating one at that, far beyond the damage that a Major Disaster could do.
Irrespective of how far Harrala flees, she'll be enveloped in the consequences. And hence, Yennda would never use the attack that he had planned against Brangara.
"How...do you assume he has such an attack?" Harrala asked, "My father never revealed any hints towards that even once. So, how?"
"It's an educated guess." Grehha smiled wryly, "He became the Tangible Epidemic at the Zahara Kingdom. After we captured one of Brangara's bodies, we were able to observe Yennda's mutations in detail which was witnessed by Brangara."
"At the end of the day, he's an engineer. So, he's bound to make preparations in whatever way possible, just to protect you. Moreover," Grehha patted Harrala on the head, "He's still the Yellow Mystic Path. Once Blola obtained the full power of the Transcendent Eater, he could access the data of Yennda that was being updated in real-time in his database. That was how we came to confirm his preparations."
"Following that, we waited until the Quip Clan could trace your location and summon Inala there." Grehha stopped speaking upon seeing Harrala grow silent as the last group of her Mammoth Clansmen were sent away.
A few seconds later, the Biome Bomb with the Major Treasure of Flight returned and nodded
at Harrala, "Grehha will keep you informed of everything. And when it's time..."
The Biome Bomb used a Tangible Piezo Slip to transfer a large stream of data to Harrala, "Through your Mystic Path connection, send this to Yennda. That will fool him in the emotional state he'll be at upon witnessing your...death."
"Hahaha," Harrala wept sarcastically, "I guess the title for the most horrible daughter of Sumatra will go to me."
"I...shouldn't have been born." Harrala clutched her face and cried profusely.
"Please don't say that." Pet said with a pained expression as he hugged her gently, "Yuza didn't have the strength to birth you. I was the one who nurtured you through an Empyrean Incubator. So, if anything, it was my choice you were born."
"Just assume I'm the villain, which I indeed am." Grehha consoled her, "You can hate me, Harrala. I will always remember the cruelty I made you do, for as long as I'm alive. So, I can only beg you."
He continued to speak as his voice choked, "Can you sacrifice yourself for the greater good?"
"You don't need to convince me, Uncle." Harrala wiped her tears and stared at Pet with a determined gaze, "I'm not afraid of sacrificing myself. That's never a concern for an Empyrean Tusk. For the greater good of the Mammoth Clan, we're ready to do anything. It's just...my father that I'm saddened about."
He then stared at Pet, "Uncle, as you're still a Mammoth Clansman, please promise me that in the future, the Mammoth Clan will regain its glory. And when they do, make them remember what my father had done. Please honour him."
"That's a promise," Grehha nodded, "I'll give you my word, Harrala."
"The Mammoth Clan will walk Sumatra once again, without being hunted, as supreme Deities. I assure you of this fact!"
"Thank you." Harrala let out a weakly cheerful smile as she nodded towards the Biome Bomb, "It was my pleasure meeting you two, Uncle Inala, and Uncle Grehha. I didn't accomplish anything upon inheriting the Yellow Mystic Path, but I think I was glad to have been born."
"Farewell," The Biome Bomb placed a Biome bomb before Harrala, hugged her and vanished. Following that, Pet took the reins of Armoury as Harrala obediently sat beside him, holding the Biome Bomb that contained a dense presence of the Major Treasure of Weapon.
It was enough to fool anyone into thinking that it was Weapon. Harrala clutched it dearly and
focused on her Mystic Path, 'I am sorry, Dad!'
...
State of Unity-Unlimited Predator!
The Celestial Boar enveloped the Quip Guardian within Unlimited Predator. The toes of the Empyrean Supreme were also enveloped within its range. A second later, the toes began to melt, rapidly getting digested by Unlimited Predator.
Similarly, the Quip Guardian too was targeted, as suddenly, a chunk of its unguarded shoulder
vanished. But a moment later, a wave of Prana gathered into the spot and regenerated it. This wave didn't originate from its Spirit Container, but instead from Unlimited Predator.
Tangible Nature-Inhibition Bomb x8!
Inhibition Bomb worked on inhibiting the effect of a Nature by absorbing the Prana that formed it. Unlimited Predator wasn't an exception to this. Whatever Prana it gathered by digesting the body part of the Quip Guardian was stolen by the Inhibition Bomb, which surged into the wound and regenerated it.
The Inhibition Bomb was a Gold Grade Nature, and every single one of them in the Zinger
World had been elevated to the 10-Life Stage. With a stack of eight of them, the Quip Guardian
too had unleashed an absolute domain of inhibition.
"You were saying?" The Quip Guardian laughed as smoke radiated off its being, "My Deity claimed that I'm not strong enough to kill you. However, I will win this fight!"
In terms of absolute domains, Brangara's was clearly superior, since he had a larger number
of Tangible Natures of Subtle Terrain Domination and even a Major Treasure variant of the same. Therefore, the Quip Guardian was slowly, but surely getting digested.
But it was confident in enduring for a long time, as claimed by its Deity, which was enough to maintain its confidence. And then, particles gathered onto a string of Prana jutting out of its
body.
Tangible Nature-Prison Bomb x6!
The inhibition effect of the Inhibition Bomb was gathered onto the string of Prana. The Quip
Guardian didn't have Subtle Terrain Domination to fuse them. However, it could achieve the same result through Prana Stitch, as they were all Quip Clan Natures.
Once the string of Prana had the properties of the Inhibition Bomb, it began to grow 1.5 times
longer.
Tangible Nature-Accel Growth!
Immediately following that, the Quip Guardian detached it and wielded it like a whip, as a
separate item.
Tangible Nature-Homing Satellite!
Through psychokinesis, the Quip Guardian controlled the Inhibition Satellite Whip like a Spirit Weapon and caused it to rampantly attack the boundaries of Unlimited Predator, stealing the Prana forming it. And then, it began to spark, gradually lighting up the darkness
of the place.
Tangible Nature-Biome Nature!
The whip began to target the Celestial Boar while the Quip Guardian chuckled, "I told you, didn't I? My Deity's predictions are never wrong."
The more the whip attacked, the greater the volume of Prana it absorbed, using which it
sparked with greater and greater intensities, which only fuelled the destructiveness of its attacks, creating a vicious cycle for the opponent.
"Take this!" Loud booms followed suit, as all this was happening while the Quip Guardian continued to punch the Celestial Boar while the latter continued to ram into its body.
