Chapter 544 Data Thief Inala
??Iron, Silver, Gold, and Mystic. What were the progressive advantages that a Pranic Beast experienced upon entering a higher Grade? An increase in physical might and body size, an increase in the mind's computing power and processing speed, and an increase in the presence and lifespan.
Body, mind, and soul became elevated on a fundamental level, reflected in the Prana used by the Pranic Beast as it evolved to higher Grades. Since Inala was doing the same, he pondered for a long time.
How does he best make use of this advantage, since he planned to enter the Mystic Grade conditionally? After a lot of time, by taking reference from Orakha's Compound Human Avatar, he had his answer—a compound Nature.
Nature was an aspect of the Pranic Beast unleashed through Prana. Its activation conditions weren't limited to Prana alone. For example, consider the Centinger's Nature of Bone-Melting Artillery. Before it unleashes an artillery strike, it would grow spikes along its long neck.
It would then activate the Nature. There would be responses generated by its body, mind, and soul before it unleashes an artillery strike. A change in mass, the generation of new body parts, and a certain sequence of movements by the parts were a physical indicator.
The mind would calculate the trajectory of the artillery strike, the angle it would take during flight, the target spot, the melting potency necessary for the attack, and finally, the Skills used to control and unleash it as needed. This was the mental indicator.
Nothing regarding the soul had an indicator other than the spike in one's presence. But that was only because of how little Sumatra Continent understood the soul aspect of Prana.
Despite that, the Centinger's body grew in such a way that it was perfected to unleash an artillery strike, keeping the process as efficient as possible.
Whenever the Boar King used it, his Prana was consumed at rates three to four times than a Centinger to grow spikes, since his body wasn't accustomed to growing it naturally. The case was true for Virala too when he used the Nature of Bone-Melting Artillery.
So, without a suitable body, the Boar King experienced a greater physical and mental strain to unleash an Artillery strike. In terms of complexities, the Nature of Bone-Melting Artillery was one of the most complex Natures in Sumatra.
However, at the end of the day, it was a Silver Grade Nature. When the Centinger's evolved counterpart, the Millinger unleashed the Bone-Melting Artillery, it displayed a level of control over the ability that a group of Centingers combined couldn't.
The number of spikes was numerous, they were heavier, had a higher potency of melting properties, and best of all, the Millinger could incorporate dozens of trajectory arcs in a single volley. This level of control was stellar, a reason the Millingers were one of the most dangerous Gold Grade Pranic Beasts.
But Inala's judgement upon fully comprehending the Millinger's data was this—the Millingers were a wasted potential.
Bone-Melting Artillery as a Gold Grade Nature wasn't complex enough to fully harness the physical and mental capabilities of a Gold Grade Pranic Beast, especially one as capable as a Millinger. It could have been even stronger and still be used by the Millinger without any strain.
This was the conclusion he had arrived at. Millingers weren't alone in this regard. The mutated variant of all Pranic Beasts, though absurdly strong, didn't have Natures capable of fully harnessing their physical and mental might. Hence, Inala wanted to evolve his power in such a way that he would be able to fully take advantage of a Royal Zinger's body and mind.
The result he arrived at was a compound Nature. A Nature so complex that it had multiple facets to its usage.
The core essence of Mystic Royalty was the absorption, storage, consumption, and transmission of Prana and Lifeforce.
Mystic Royalty was created by the fusion of his Nature of Royalty, the evolution of his Quip Tribe to Quip Clan, Sumatra Gold Skeleton, Nature of Tangible Psychokinesis, Minor Treasure of Tangible Psychokinesis, and Major Treasure of Attribute.
Through the Sumatra Gold Skeleton, Inala stabilised, improved, and engraved the data of countless Pranic Beasts into his skeleton, treating it as an Information Slip to later be recognised as his genetic data.
This data primarily consisted of a voracious sum of information regarding Enrinos and Enrans, sourced from dozens of their kind to obtain as many variations of their data as possible. Inala engraved it into his Sumatra Gold skeleton as if it were his genetic information.
He did the same to the data of Zinger, Millinger, and Mudropper. Finally, through the constant power of assimilation unleashed by Maroppa using her Primary Nature, Inala stored a copious sum of it in his Sumatra Gold skeleton.
Its purpose was simple—to engrave the Bolt of Transcendence as part of his genetic information too.
The Bolt of Transcendence was an energy cluster containing a vast sea of information. Hence, it too could be engraved onto his Sumatra Gold skeleton, considering the properties of Sumatra Gold.
Inala abused the heck of this pinnacle mineral, extracting a hundred percent of its utility. One piece was enough for his evolution. He used the second piece to accurately adjust the result of his Primary Nature. The third piece was similarly used to control the result of his Secondary Nature.
Hence, from the very beginning, Inala was aware of what Natures he would be obtaining post-evolution, since he had been planning them down to the genetic information.
His Prana had the characteristics of his Primary Nature. Hence, the Biome Bombs he makes could behave as Satellites. It could create eight strings of Prana—in substance similar to the ones created by the Minor Treasure of Tangible Psychokinesis—at the Mystic Grade.
These strings were superior in tensile strength, psychokinesis, etc. as compared to the Minor Treasure of Tangible Psychokinesis when Inala's Royal Zinger form was in the Gold and Mystic Grade.
The strings could absorb the Prana and Lifeforce of its target, act alive, and even behave as legs to make the Biome Bomb move.
The maximum size of the Biome Bomb was 180 metres—the same as his maximum Spirit Weapon range. At maximum size, there was no room for the strings to appear externally.
Suppose the radius of the Biome Bomb is 50 metres, then the maximum possible length for the prana strings was 130 metres. If the radius is 110 metres, the maximum length possible for the Prana strings is 70 metres.
They can steal the Prana and Lifeforce of a target, use the Biome Bomb as a reservoir, and transmit it to any target of their choice. If Inala so wanted, he could infuse the Boar King's Prana and Lifeforce to Resha without issues.
Even Zinger's Prana Bombs filtered the target's Prana into the fluid within, turning it into a form that could be consumed universally. Inala's Biome Bomb had an advanced application of the same. He could accurately morph the Prana to suit the target.
This way, the Prana being infused into them had the same characteristics as their Prana, allowing their body to instantly absorb and wield it. Inala only needed to come in contact with the target to morph the Prana in his Biome Bomb to suit the latter's being.
lights??vel This was created by the fusion of the Inhibition Needle into the working mechanism of Prana Bombs.
Biome Bombs stored Prana and Lifeforce in energy forms at the Silver Grade, terrain at the Gold Grade, and Lifeforms at the Mystic Grade. As long as he was at the necessary Grade or above, Inala could freely decide the form of storage.
At the Silver, Gold, and Mystic Grade, the Nature of Mystic Royalty harnessed the entirety of his physical and mental might, unlocking functions accordingly.
Mystic Royalty was enough for the majority of situations thanks to its various capabilities. But it only gave Inala control-
type powers. In the case he wanted direct combat powers to target an opponent, there was his Secondary Nature.
Secondary Nature—Perfect Biome Domination!
This was created by the fusion of the Natures of Internal Inertial Gravity, Subtle Terrain Dominance, and Spatial Immune System. This was in terms of Natures. Inala also incorporated the Prime Skills of Empyrean Extraction and Mind Slip into its creation, also adding in the cultivation techniques of Mystic Bone Art, Mystic Mist Art, and Gold Kinesis Art, resulting in this Nature.
He could manipulate everything in a Biome Bomb. That was the simplest definition of his Secondary Nature. In terms of controlling terrain, he could perform it on the same level as an Empyrean Snapper. Of course, that was at Gold Grade and above. At the Silver Grade, his level of control would be the same as what a Silver Grade Cooter Clansman displayed for a fluid.
This control also extended to the bodies of anyone within the Biome Bomb. He could control their weight similar to the effects of Internal Inertial Gravity, and morph their flesh through the combined use of Mystic Bone Art and Mystic Mist Art. And finally, he could refine their bodies.
After he evolved, Inala no longer could use these three cultivation techniques, for they were unsuitable for the Zinger race. If he were to use it, he would permanently lose Prana according to the degree of usage.
But they weren't necessary, for he could unleash their function through his Secondary Nature. The best aspect of this is that Inala could instantly surround himself with a Biome Bomb, making it reach his maximum Spirit Weapon range.
Once done, he could control the terrain enveloped by it, capable of moving like an Empyrean Snapper. And if a living being were to remain within his Biome Bomb, Inala could steadily access their data without harming them.
This was one of his motives too, the reason why he was taking it slow against the Boar King. After all, he was stealing data from the latter. Now that Brana and Baga were caught in his Biome Bombs, their data was being absorbed by the Biome Bombs.
The moment Inala is within range of 180 metres from them, they could transmit all the data to him, which would allow him to understand greatly their Natures, their past, their experience, and best of all, the cultivation technique they practised.
