Chapter 871: Primary Swarm
Chapter 871: Primary Swarm
Intermediate Mystic Grade Pranic Beast-Brood Mother!
Using the bodies of both the Tangible Epidemic and the Transcendent Eater as the base, the Mystic Paths of Blue and Yellow fused together, mutated endlessly, and stabilised to produce this creature.
The genetic information of the Celestial Boar, Mystic Tentacle and Empyrean Tusks too had been used in its creation. The result was a stable form that exhibited the most horrifying of Yennda's prowess in its most destructive version.
Voracious Cultivator, Astral World, Major Treasure, Prana Solidification, Thought Condensation, Daily Checkpoint, Internal Inertial Gravity, Kinesis Lantern Deity, Cultivator, Fission and Fusion, Infection, Mutation, and finally, Memory Revival.
This plethora of overpowered abilities had been put into a container and then made to devour each other. The condition was to contain the characteristics of all as much as possible realistically while mutating endlessly to adapt to the situation.
Some characteristics were retained dominantly while others became recessive. Thankfully, the biggest advantage of this was that the source of all these could be directed at the Mammoth Clan.
Most of the Celestial Boar's powers was how Voracious Nature influenced him as he continued to consume the Empyrean Tusks while continuing to evolve accordingly. The Mystic Tentacle was Yahard Tusk's transformation and a Mammoth Clan power. The same was true for Yennda and Harrala.
Finally, the Mystic Paths were the peak arrangement of the Mammoth Clan. It implied that to a great extent, through the Mammoth Clan genes serving as the base, a lot of transformation could be attained through endless mutations to eventually incorporate traces of every other genetic material. And that, resulted in the most horrifying Nature of them all.
Primary Nature-Primary Swarm!
The Brood Mother somewhat followed the characteristics of the Celestial Boar's Voracious Cultivator-applied to its Tangible Nature-as its base. It meant that there was a condition the Brood Mother had to follow.
Initially, it only had one Nature. The Nature of Primary Swarm was applied to the Brood Mother where it could create endless variants of itself according to the situation.
It was in its base form at first, but once Brangara's Subtle Terrain Domination was about to destroy it, the Brood Mother spawned herself as a new variant, one large enough that its whole body couldn't be enveloped within Brangaa's absolute domain.
Theoretically, the Brood Mother was capable of spawning infinite variants of itself. After all, the genetic material forming its base was sourced from every peak creature on Sumatra. So technically, it could keep changing its body to survive through any situation.
However, there was a realistic weakness-the direction of evolution. Suppose Brangara targeted the Brood Mother with attacks related to ice, cold, etc. Then, the Brood Mother would use Primary Swarm to keep adapting to the cold variations until it'll eventually be able to encompass all the variations of the field, making it immune to cold.
However, reaching this extreme meant the Brood Mother now had a severe weakness in the form of heat. Even the simplest of flames could damage its body, since it had evolved to the extreme to adapt to the cold.
Ideally, if the heat wasn't strong enough to kill it, the Brood Mother could use Primary Swarm and begin shedding some of its characteristics related to the cold in order to adapt to the heat. Soon enough, it would have adapted enough to survive decently powerful attacks of both heat and cold.
Only the extreme attacks of either field could kill it.
Someone like the Celestial Boar who was capable of carrying 100 different Natures could easily destroy the Brood Mother by taking advantage of its evolving trait. But that was in the ideal scenario when the Celestial Boar was at full strength.
And also, when the Brood Mother hadn't matured enough to use its ability. Primary Swarm was the most versatile ability on Sumatra, allowing the Brood Mother to adapt to any and every situation, terrain, attack, etc.
As long as it keeps track of its evolution direction, it could avoid accumulating glaring weaknesses while stockpiling strengths that could harmonise and strengthen it to the limit. Once the Brood Mother matures and accumulates enough experience, it'll become unstoppable.
The reason Inala created the Major Treasure of Palm was for this exact purpose. Because, if the Brood Mother wasn't stopped and consumed enough Quip Clansmen to accumulate genetic traits of the Royal Zinger, then it'll become unstoppable.
After all, there was a chance the Brood Mother could attain a State of Unity. If it adapts enough beforehand, its State of Unity would become highly resistant to both Unlimited Predator and Four Steps To Nullity.
Even on a simple estimate, if anyone among the quartet of Inala, Virala, Grehha, and Orakha had the Brood Mother's build, they could reach the pinnacle and attain a State of Unity. That was the conclusion Inala and Grehha arrived at while finalising the design of Brood Mother.
Primary Nature-Primary Swarm!
It applied to the Brood Mother and allowed it to constantly evolve its body and genetic traits without losing its Primary Nature. And the moment it selects a target and latches onto it, the condition would be achieved, resulting in the formation of the following in her Spirit
Container.
Secondary Nature-Secondary Swarm!
Consuming the genetic material of the target, the Brood Mother would spawn endless variants related to the same. And it would keep spawning them until the source material was fully consumed.
Before, in human form at the forest, the baby Brood Mother shed tears while in contact with the ground. This mere action was enough for the Secondary Nature to form in her Spirit Container and spawn a series of Bone Vipers. The same was true for the centipedes she created through the trees.
Once the target was fully consumed, the Secondary Nature was deactivated, which caused it to disappear from the Spirit Container. This condition was specifically orchestrated by Inala and Grehha out of fear.
After all, if they wanted to target the Brood Mother, they could feed it a weak entity to become the target of Secondary Swarm. And once the target was consumed, the Secondary Nature would vanish, which created the perfect window to target the Brood Mother.
'If you were that scared of her, you shouldn't have caused her birth in the first place.' Brangara thought as a stream of information funnelled into his mind space from the Major Treasure of
Palm.
His body was immobile and he could no longer sense what was happening in the outside
world. Forget the outside world, he couldn't even sense the Astral World or what was happening in it, feeling like he was drifting in the void, unbound by the concepts of time and space. 'All I feel towards her is pity. She's just a newborn but has been deprived of every ounce of happiness and everything else a living being ought to possess.'
[It was the only option.]
'Only option you say?' His mind continued to drift through the void as his thoughts began to
slow down, 'What if she recovers? Based on what you said about Primary Swarm, she'll eventually recover her senses or figure out a way to sense her surroundings. Linked Rupture only destroyed the senses in her that the Celestial Boar had. What if she creates a whole new
sensory organ?'
[That risk exists. But it's not something to worry about as long as your stack remains.]
'Hah!' All Brangara felt was a sense of exhaustion as information related to the Continental Invasion funnelled into his mind space next, 'Things will get extremely annoying in the future. If this child recovers by then, let's hope she targets the invaders. Otherwise, without either of us to stop her, she'll destroy Sumatra.'
[I'm not sure about that. Maybe just like the Mystic Seven appeared to stop you, there might appear determined individuals to stop her. Besides, Yamahara exists. So, I'm not too
worried.]
'Where have you sealed him?' Brangara let out a sigh mentally and asked, 'I hope you didn't traumatise him.'
[I threatened him and forced him to sit out of our fight. And then I sealed him in a place with large reserves of blood from every powerful being on Sumatra. He's training there, and once he finishes his training, he'll be strong enough to break out of the seal.]
'Hahaha!' Brangara laughed for a couple of seconds before growing silent, 'Thank you for not
harming him.'
[Maybe it might have been better had I harmed him. Now, that child has to worry about defending Sumatra Continent against the invaders and suffer through endless wars.]
'He will succeed, I'm sure of it. He has inherited my strength and Yarsha's talent.' Brangara
expressed proudly, saying finally, 'So, this is it, huh? I feel tired now. Seems I'm drifting off into nothingness...'
[There's enough Prana in this Major Treasure to keep you company, Brangara. It's not much, but I'll keep up the banter with you, until your mind drifts into eternal stillness.]
'That's pretty kind of you...' Brangara thought as strings of Prana erupted out of his body in reality and wrapped around the Brood Mother. Lacking all senses, the Brood Mother couldn't react or avoid them as her body was swiftly bound by the strings.
And then, like a stretched bowstring, they retracted and caused the body of the Brood Mother
to slam into Brangara. The duo were strung together and turned into a cocoon that began to glow faintly as it slowly hovered two metres above the ground.
A string of Prana touched the ground and propped the cocoon at this height. And once the cocoon finished forming, a string of Prana pierced the Brood Mother's chest and made contact
with the heart, seeping in Prana as a skill was activated.
Mystic Bone Art-Prana Domination!
The Major Treasure of Palm turned the Brood Mother into its Spirit Weapon, which immediately expended most of the Royal Zinger's Prana from its reserves. Before it was fully
used up, the string of Prana influenced the Brood Mother's Spirit Container, activating it.
Secondary Nature-Secondary Swarm!
It spontaneously formed in the Spirit Container and considered Brangara's body as the target.
Now, until Brangara's body was fully consumed by the Brood Mother, Secondary Swarm would remain active.
At the 9-Life Stage, even though Brangara could no longer unleash Unlimited Predator, the
passive protection on Astral World continued to exist. This meant that until all nine Astral
Worlds used up their entirety as fuel to continue regenerating Brangara's body, Secondary Swarm wouldn't vanish.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It vanishing meant the complete consumption of nine Astral Worlds, ensuring Brangara's
death, finally, with no margin of error.
Boom!
A string of Prana extended out of the cocoon and reached a height of 1.72 kilometres and
turned into a spherical cage. The structures of the cage expanded radially like roots of a tree and bubbled at their ends, forming large masses of flesh.
One of the flesh clumps condensed after a while and detached itself, landing on the ground
with a resounding thud. As it got up, its figure reached a height of 120 metres, becoming a bipedal Pranic Beast.
It had eight pairs of arms resembling roots, fur resembling foliage, and a head closely
resembling the Celestial Boar. It opened its mouth and let out a guttural roar of hunger,
following which it began to rush towards the border of the Kalahatra Desert, ignoring all the vegetation for it was strictly a carnivore.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Its footsteps caused rhythmic echoes as the Pranic Beast broke into a sprint, roaring as
gradually, its presence began to billow out, exhibiting its desire to consume all.
Beginner Gold Grade Pranic Beast-Forest Boar!
As it rushed out of a forest and ran across the ivory sands towards the border of the Kalahatra
Desert, more of its kind appeared, forming an army as they all roared in hunger while
emanating Gold Grade presence.
Their presence combined and began to form a weak aurora that sported the appearance of a
boar. As more and more of them rushed out of the forest, the aurora began to grow in size and
intensity, resembling the Empyrean Boar King in its hungriest moments.
It signalled the end of the Third Major Disaster and the start of a Calamity!
