"My…Goodness!" A Wean Clansman expressed in disbelief as she witnessed Narkahamy's transformation, "Is that…Is that…a…"
"Human Avatar?" The Panger, Loya expressed everyone's sentiment on the matter, absolutely startled, "But why is it so…huge?"
To date, the biggest Human Avatar on Sumatra Continent existed among the Brimgan Royals, thanks to their Nature of Kinesis Deity. Their Deity forms increased the size of their Human Avatars, increasing the volume of Rutham available at their disposal.
But even at the 10-Life Stage, it only reached 12 metres in height. Boul Brimgan only exceeded that after attaining his Tertiary Nature of Deity Fusion and fused his Kinesis Felines into his human Avatar to create a new form.
But even that only reached 48 metres in height, nothing special in terms of size as it was on par with large Silver Grade Pranic Beasts and the smallest of Gold Grade Pranic Beasts.
The Secondary Nature of Kinesis Lantern Deity allowed Empyrean Tusks to assume humanoid forms, which technically could be called Human Avatars. However, it was unleashed using their body part that could act as a mineral. Therefore, even though they followed the functions of a Free Human's Human Avatar, at the end of the day, the result only modified the Pranic Beast form into a humanoid version.
Activating the same in human form gave them a proper Human Avatar form, which wasn't all that different from Free Humans in terms of size.
However, Narkahamy's current figure was a genuine Human Avatar form. Every Free Human could perceive it as the truth, confusing them even more. For they felt like their common sense was being shattered here.
"That…idiot," Inala muttered under his breath, 'Why did he have to skip multiple steps and unleash his trump card? What exactly is he planning? He has yet to figure out KalTara's Trump Card but revealed his prematurely.'
'This doesn't seem in tune with his character.' Inala frowned as he observed Narkahamy's state for a few seconds and noticed the latter's familiar eyes, 'That's...impossible! He has no reason to do that!'
He knew that set of eyes very well, for they were exactly what he had during the Third Major Disaster—the eyes of a dead man.
Inala was extremely confused, 'Why is he behaving as this? There's only a minor difference in strength between them, which is something he can easily overcome. He's more cunning than KalTara based on my judgement of the two.'
He began to bite into his hand, racking his brain trying to come up with a possibility, 'What exactly is his plan now?'
While Inala was confused about Narkahamy's motives for behaving as a dead man, everyone else was confused about how he could attain such a massive Human Avatar.
It had the shape of a Boar King, but with slightly longer legs and a leaner frame. It reached a whopping size of 86 metres, averaging around the size of Boar Kings.
What made it stand apart from the Boar Kings was the fact that it was wholly made out of Vara. The fact that Narkahamy managed to store so much Vara in his Spirit Container went against conventional logic.
But it also revealed a frightening possibility—Spirit Weapons!
The size of Spirit Weapons was limited based on how much mineral a Free Human could extract out of his Human Avatar without causing its structural collapse. Therefore, most of the Free Human Spirit Humans were small. The Brimgan Empire used various hollow structures to wield bigger Spirit Weapons, but the overall mass they could displace was more or less similar.
But if the Human Avatar itself was massive, then the amount of mineral at the Free Human's disposal was too much. They could have a field day with Spirit Weapons to ridiculous extents. It had to be noted that Free Humans maximise the efficiency of design in their Spirit Weapons to ensure it could get the job done with limited usage of mineral and psychokinesis.
They typically had to get a lot done with limited resources in their Human Avatar. But what if that was multiplied by a hundred times? A thousand? That was exactly what Narkahamy represented.
[Everyone!]
Bronsk Brimgan used a Rutham Slip to communicate with the Brimgan Royals in his company.
[It doesn't matter if we have to sacrifice the lives of all of us. That information should reach the Brimgan Empire, no matter what!]
Even without him saying anything, the rest of the Brimgan Royals at the scene understood the significance of Narkahamy's display. That was enough for the Brimgan Empire to rule the entirety of Sumatra Continent.
[Yes, Your Majesty!]
The Brimgan Empire's group seethed in greed, ready to take action at a moment's notice. And just to increase their chance of success, Bronsk Brimgan used his psychokinesis as a golden flash subtly moved about in the audience seats, scuttling about in the gaps between the legs of the spectators, moving faster than they could notice.
It was a piece of Rutham, acting as an Information Slip once it slid into the pocket of Hyak, the Councilman representing the Mystic Humans of the Dralh Sea.
It whirred into life and scribbled a statement on the skin of Hyak, which read it without a change in expression.
[I'm sure you understand the significance of what you're visiting. Assist the Brimgan Empire in whatever we do next and I'll send a Royal Decree to the Empire. The Mystic Humans will be provided Advanced and Expert Gold Grade Pranic Beasts, at least one every year, for the next millennium.]
'Hah!' Hyak saw the message and didn't even have to think much before accepting the message. After all, the Brimgan Empire's promise was no different from Ruvva's promise.
With her status as the Brimgan Guardian, she was the de-facto leader in times when there wasn't a strong enough Brimgan Emperor to lead the Brimgan Empire, such as the present times. And currently, the Mystic Human Council had appointed Ruvva as its head.
Basically, it was a promise from Ruvva to Ruvva. And if Ruvva doesn't uphold her end of the deal, she'll be held accountable by Ruvva, 'It's hilarious!'
He controlled his laughter, subtly eyed Bronsk Brimgan and nodded, accepting the deal.
For an entire minute since Narkahamy had unleashed his Human Avatar form, there had been no action. Or rather, the one to react, KalTara, didn't dare get close.
"The pinnacle of absurdity." KalTara uttered as he observed the Vara Boar King, thinking nervously, 'How many…freaking Natures does that thing hold now?'
An Empyrean Boar could hold anywhere from 300 to over a thousand Iron Grade Natures on its body. Of course, it would have long gone insane by that point. But it was theoretically capable of such. Or rather, two millennia ago, that was how Empyrean Boars lived.
Yoked Wyrms lived in the Varahan Enclave and formed a staple for the Empyrean Boars, being munched in the hundreds for every meal. And these Natures accumulated on the Empyrean Boar. Even if its influence was one of the weakest even among Iron Grade, they gradually accumulated to a frightening amount once the Natures reached the hundreds.
Wean Clansmen typically carried anywhere from sixty to eighty Iron Grade Natures. This number dropped sharply if they carried a few Silver Grade Natures. A Wean Clansman carried at most one Gold Grade Nature, for not only was it precious, even in human form where the influence couldn't reach them, they still had risks of going insane.
A Nature was like a tattoo on an Empyrean Boar's body. So, the larger its surface area, the more Natures it could hold on its being. In comparison, a Free Human's Vara Human Avatar behaved like a container to store Natures.
A Silver Grade Vara Human avatar could at most store twenty Iron Grade Natures. The number could be maximised with the usage of different Natures. Each Nature occupied a certain volume and manifested itself in a certain shape and size in the Vara Human Avatar.
A Free Human pretty much played a 3D game of Tetris to fill up their Human Avatar with Natures. At the Gold Grade, the Vara Human Avatar wasn't all that different, since it was limited by storage volume.
Yes, it could store Gold Grade Natures now, but that was it. The size was a limitation.
Even Narkahamy had the same limitation, which was why he had a group of Natures in his Human Avatar, and combined them in various forms using his State of Harmony to unleash different Blessed Influences.
It was why he typically used commonly available Iron Grade Natures at the Varahan Empire, for they were easy to replenish, and adapt while offering plentiful versatility.
And now, Narkahamy's Human Avatar could store hundreds of Iron Grade Natures. This size allowed him to form Blessed Influences using Gold Grade Natures, for he had enough space to play around.
Blessed Influence—Vara Boar King!
"Leader of the Wean Clan!" Narkahamy's voice boomed in the Empyrean Colosseum as his Vara Boar King form took a step forward, "Please use your trump card,"
"So that your Clansmen cannot complain that I unjustly killed an unprepared you."
'Guess it's time then.' KalTara shook his head and exhaled slow, controlled breaths, 'I wanted to save it, but guess he understood that the longer his probing attacks went, the faster his Prana would deplete as compared to mine.'
'So, before the Prana values between us change too much, he wants to end things, huh?' KalTara analysed as his presence spiked sharply, adding another notch in size to the Empyrean Boar aurora in the sky.
Expert Gold Grade Pranic Beast—Boar King!
Once he assumed his Pranic Beast form, which appeared unassuming before the Vara Boar King, KalTara calmly observed his stomach and felt the pieces of Vara scattered about in it, 'They're my strength reserve.'
He observed the audience stands and focused on the seated figure of Shuwrak Zahara who was positioned on the Varahan Empire's side, 'I'm sorry, Uncle.'
'You'll absolutely despite what I'm about to do next.' He thought as his left tusk glinted subtly. And then, a pinkish-yellow mineral substance replaced his body, brutally petrifying everyone witnessing the scene.
"Bollocks!" Bronsk Brimgan got up, startled as he stared at KalTara's figure which was no different from Narkahamy's. Both were Human Avatars in the shape of Boar Kings.
It was the unleashed through different means, according to their respective builds, but the result was the damn same, frighteningly so.
"You…!" Eyes widened in realisation as Shuwrak Zahara bellowed, "What have you done to my family?"
Human Avatar—Reactive Jade!
KalTara had assumed a Reactive Jade Boar King form, and the Human Avatar that allowed him to assume this Human Avatar form was definitely sourced from the Zahara Family who still maintained their previous build, having been unable to make a switch due to inferior talents.
"KalTara!" Shuwrak Zahara roared but his roar fell on deaf ears as the two Boar Kings clashed.
