"It's not that I can't share the method, but it's just too dangerous." She smiled wryly, "After all, the method of creation involves using grey sand. And currently, on Sumatra, only I can resist its effects."
Hearing Ruvva's claims, the Ministers had expressions of doubt and concern. However, that took a back seat when she dropped a large block of a greyish-golden mineral on the floor. It was extremely heavy, with a fist-sized piece weighing over a tonne.
Even the palace floor cracked in response, showing how heavy it was. "This is the first successful product I could create."
She pointed at herself, "Since one of my bodies is that of an Empyrean Tusk, I can source the tusk bone powder from myself. Using it alongside grey sand, I fuse it into Rutham to produce this Gold Grade compound mineral,"
"Ruthusk!"
It was created by the fusion between Rutham and tusk bone powder. To create it, Ruvva could have taken assistance from Moihala to gather a clump of grey sand.
However, for as long as possible, she wanted to hide Moihala's strength. And hence, when she was travelling with Boul Brimgan, she had ventured into the border and gathered the weakest grey sand she could get her hands on.
Minor Treasure-Spirit Puppet Slip!
With it, she created a Spirit Puppet of her stomach and used it to store the grey sand. The grey sand tried to corrode her stomach and assimilate it into grey sand. However, by cranking up her Mystic Human characteristics to the maximum, Ruvva was not only capable of resisting the grey sand's effects, she could also safely contain it.
Mystic Humans resisted external effects. However, it took time for the resistance to kick in, which needed to be trained. The first time they were affected by it was when a Mystic Human took the longest to recover.
Even in Virala's case where he was subjected to the effects of Brangara's State of Unity, there was a chance he could resist it to the extent he wouldn't die when hit by it.
Of course, as to how many times he would die and revive through the Mystic Human Stamp before reaching that level, it couldn't be predicted. And currently, the one with ownership over the three remaining Mystic Human Stamps was Ruvva. She didn't wish to waste such a valuable Minor Treasure just for Virala to gain resistance over something that wasn't an issue currently.
The Mystic Human Stamp was the only way for the Mystic Humans to strengthen their bodies. There were two at the Dralh Sea while the final one was in Ruvva's possession.
Having been taking care of Moihala, Ruvva had been steadily gaining resistance to grey sand, strengthening her Mystic Human characteristics against the Sandy-Grey Void's effects. Eventually, when she reaches the 10-Life Stage, Ruvva could casually take a stroll through the Sandy-Grey Void without worries.
The only thing that could threaten her there would be something that threatens the Transcendents too. It was possible for her to raise her Mystic Human characteristics to such an extent.
Currently, she was relying on the same to make use of the grey sand. The Spirit Puppet in the shape of her stomach carried the grey sand she needed.
When necessary, Ruvva used Eddy Blades to cut off a piece of her Empyrean Tusk form's tusk and ground it into powder. Following that, she poured it through the food pipe and mixed it with the grey sand in the stomach.
Her stomach acids churned within the stomach, acting as a stabiliser to prevent the grey sand from going crazy. These acids were like 'on' and 'off' switches that activated and deactivated the properties of the grey sand.
Once the Rutham-in powdered form-was also poured into the stomach, she poured her Prana into it, and used her psychokinesis to wrap her stomach acids around the grey sand. In the meantime, she spun the stomach like a mixer and mixed the Rutham and tusk bone powder.
Prana Shock x4!
Following that, she used Prana Shock to cause minute, high-frequency vibrations that ground the powders to their finest forms, causing better mixing between the Rutham and tusk bone powder.
Following that, she switched on the effects of the grey sand and caused it to target the mixture, beginning the assimilation process. The moment the process started, Ruvva assumed her Apogee Bludder form and began to spun, using that power to increase the spinning speed of the stomach.
The centripetal and centrifugal forces acting within the stomach separated the substances according to weight. The moment the Rutham and tusk bone powder were being assimilated by the grey sand, there was a moment when the two substances had fused into a new
compound.
And in the instant before it turned into grey sand, the forces separated it from the pile, following which her Prana wrapped around the compound and permeated it with her Mystic Human characteristic until it showed no signs of turning into grey sand.
Small particles of Ruthusk were produced in this process, since it wasn't possible to selectively pick out all the particles at the correct moment. Most of them ended up turning into grey sand.
Since she didn't have much experience, for every 100 kilograms of Rutham and tusk bone powder each, she only managed to produce three to four kilograms of Ruthusk.
"The loss in terms of Rutham is high, but it's a necessity if we want to accumulate more Ruthusk." Ruvva observed the Ministers who were silent now, after learning the entire process, "Only I can create it for the time being."
"Similar to how we refine Rutham out of Kirenal, I'll spend the rest of my life trying to figure out a way for Free Humans with Ruthusk Human Avatars to refine more of it on their own." Boul Brimgan announced. He then stared at Ruvva and nodded in pride.
"This is the second one," Ruvva said and placed a jet-black block with golden lightning
patterns on the floor, one that caused the throne room to turn a shade darker in response. It also dampened everyone's voice as Ruvva explained, "This is a fusion between Rutham and
grey sand,"
"Ruthrey!"
"With a Ruthusk Human Avatar, you'll obtain the Primary Nature of Kinesis Lantern Deity." Ruvva smirked, "And with a Ruthrey Human Avatar, you'll obtain the Primary Nature of Grey Kinesis Deity."
"If you wish to experience how their powers would be..." Ruvva pointed at the two Nature Weapons in her hand and then condensed a Spirit Container cluster before the Minister of Raids, "There's the relevant information within it."
The Minister of Raids swallowed the Spirit Container cluster and digested it, observing
streams of information appear in his mind space. There were details about both the Natures and their effects in it, 'Indeed, we had plenty of suspicions, but it seems that was indeed the
truth.'
'The Mammoth Clan was behind the mysterious disappearance of a hundred of our Brimgan Royals.' He snorted, understanding exactly what had caused to result in the birth of the Nature of Kinesis Lantern Deity.
However, he didn't mind that history, since the power of Kinesis Lantern Deity now belonged
to the Brimgan Empire. And through it, they could taste a fraction of an Empyrean Tusk's power, which only strengthened them further.
Currently, the lower levels of the Brimgan Royals created Rutham Human Avatars, wielding their classic Gold Grade strength. The immensely talented Brimgan Royals would be nurtured carefully to take the mantle of Ministers in the future.
They'd rely on the Golden Giant's refining effect to progress faster and awaken their Secondary Nature of Minor Treasure, which would increase extremely compatible Minor Treasures in the Brimgan Empire's arsenal.
And then, there would be Emperor Candidates with talent on par with the Brimgan Emperors of the past. They'd be allowed to fuse with the Major Treasure of Deity and obtain the Tertiary Nature of Deity Fusion.
With that, a Brimgan Emperor capable of unleashing a State of Harmony would be produced, becoming a powerful pillar that protected the Brimgan Empire from all sorts of threats.
There was then the extreme case for Brimgan Royals born with unthinkable levels of talent, someone that barely appears once a millennium or even rarer, on the same playing field that Boul Brimgan stood at. They'll build Human Avatars out of Rirenal and live as a Brimgan Guardian.
They'd never make a public appearance and spend all their lives training nonstop and gaining
experience to become an unstoppable existence. After all, even at the peak of the Body Stage, they'd have a Spirit Weapon range of 18 kilometres, the same as a Brimgan Royal with a Rutham Human Avatar at the 10-Life Stage.
This was their primary line of strength, robust and long-standing. From henceforth, they'd have two more lines through the Compound Minerals of Ruthrey and Ruthusk.
Both the minerals were compatible with Mystic Kinesis Art, since the core of their composition was Rutham. Therefore, once Boul Brimgan works alongside Ruvva to finalise their creation process, there only needs to be a Free human who builds a Human Avatar with
either mineral.
From then on, they'd be able to refine more of the respective Compound Minerals on their own, using the Iron Grade mineral-Kirenal.
Free Humans with the Ruthusk Human Avatars could engage in trade, as they could carry
large volumes of goods on their beings. That would lower their dependence on the Quip Clan.
But more than that, their existence would make internal trade within the Brimgan Empire cost-efficient to an unfair extent.
The Free Humans with a Ruthrey Human Avatar, on the other hand, would become assassins.
The Nature of Grey Kinesis Deity unleashed the effects of the Sandy-Grey Void in its brutal fashion, temporarily.
They were the perfect entities to hide and move about in the night to assassinate their foes
without letting out any sound or light. Even their traces would come undo once the period of temporary effect spans past.
"Battle strength, strength alongside trade, assassination," Ruvva uttered, "We've covered most of our bases with these three Gold Grade strength lines."
"Now, our next plan of action would be to increase the number of Brimgan Royals. We need as
many of them as possible to enter the Body Stage. They'll help refine more Rutham for the talented ones," Ruvva concluded, "And also the two compound minerals."
"Now," Boul Brimgan stared at the Minister of Raids, "Let's return to your original
proposition."
"What are your thoughts now?"
