Chapter 776: Deity Fusion
Chapter 776: Deity Fusion
?
Unlike Pranic Beasts that had to go through countless variables in order to reach the end of the Pranic Beast Path-the Mystic Grade-to become a Transcendent, Free Humans only needed to reach the 10-Life Stage, irrespective of their Grade, and they had a fair shot at the
Transcendence Stage.
But simply becoming a Transcendent wasn't enough. The Free Human had to gain all three Natures. Only then will they attain their true potential. This was the Brimgan Founder's plan, which was the reason he created a refinement cultivation technique such as Gold Kinesis Art.
The body and soul aspects of the power system wasn't known back then, so it was never a point of focus. However, as long as a Free Human has three Natures, they'll be strong enough to kill a higher Grade of existence that only had a single Nature.
Of course, reaching even the Secondary Nature seemed impossible throughout history, as the Brimgan Royal had to refine their Spirit Weapon to its extremity. But as generations pass, and the Brimgan Royals steadily amass knowledge, fortune, strength, and most of all, a genetic attunement to Rutham, it was just a matter of time before someone arrived who could reach that point.
And that individual was Boul Brimgan, riding on the genetic attunement accumulations of the Brimgan Royals towards Rutham that spanned hundreds of millennia. He reached the extremity and turned his Spirit Weapon into a Minor Treasure.
This could only be attained at the 10-Life Stage. But it also meant that the moment a Brimgan Royal attains a Secondary Nature, they'd become capable of creating ten Minor Treasures, becoming a strategic asset.
Even if they were to die, their ten Minor Treasures would remain behind. And they would be insanely compatible with Brimgan Royals, since they had been created by one in the first place.
The Brimgan Founder had created Gold Kinesis Art with that in mind, also laying down plans for what needed to be done beyond the point of attaining a Secondary Nature. However, his plans were only empirical at best for this.
And the one focused on it was the Brimgan Ancestor who entered the Mystic Grade and wielded strength said to have surpassed the Mystic Tentacle of that era. He solidified the plan and made the necessary arrangements.
Eventually, after many Emperors took chare of this secret process, one of them succeeded, or failed successfully in this case, turning into a Major Treasure after failing to enter the Transcendence Stage.
Major Treasure-Deity!
It had been created for the sole purpose of creating a Tertiary Nature. Planned by the Brimgan Founder, laid down by the Brimgan Ancestor, and gradually developed and refined by successive generations of Brimgan Emperors, it was all created for the day when a Brimgan Royal with a Secondary Nature appeared and could wield the power of the Major Treasure.
When fused, the Major Treasure of Deity gave a boost to the size, speed, strength, and structural integrity of both the Human Avatar and the Spirit Weapons condensed out of it. However, that was just its immediate effect.
As it was a Major Treasure born through a Brimgan Royal, anyone Brimgan Royal part of the bloodline was compatible with it down to a genetic level. And hence, the influence it generated could be easily absorbed by the Rutham Human Avatars.
After all, the Major Treasure of Deity was a fusion between the Brimgan Royal and their Rutham Human Avatar.
Once Boul Brimgan fused with it, the Major Treasure's influence accumulated upon his Human Avatar and his Kinesis Felines, subtly altering them as if it was altering the terrain. Eventually, when the Human Avatar was fully transformed by the Major Treasure of Deity into its Influenced Region, a Tertiary Nature naturally appeared in him.
Brimgan Royals controlled Spirit Weapons, the backbone of their power. Their strength was directly proportional to the number of Spirit Weapons they controlled. Using more than one Spirit Weapon reduced the efficiency of psychokinesis.
And hence, the Skill of Spirit Weapon Switch had been created to accommodate for the faults. But upon obtaining the Secondary Nature, Boul Brimgan became capable of simultaneously controlling all his ten Kinesis Felines, since they were a Minor Treasure.
Every Minor Treasure will gain a property based on how it was refined through Gold Kinesis Art as a Spirit Weapon. In Boul Brimgan's case, his Kinesis Felines had Silver Grade intelligence, allowing them to move around with conscious thought.
Thereby, he only needed to supply Prana to them, obtaining 10 Spirit Weapons that can move about without a drop in psychokinesis efficiency. He could then use the Skill of Spirit Weapon Switch on regular Spirit Weapons and fight, becoming even more dangerous on the battlefield.
The Primary Nature created the ultimate Spirit Weapon, multiplying the Spirit Weapon range by ten times. The Secondary Nature turned the Spirit Weapon into a Minor Treasure, creating ten of their kind. And finally, there arrived the third part, one that transformed the Brimgan Royal into an absolute existence.
Tertiary Nature—Deity Fusion!
All Deity Fusion did was to combine Boul Brimgan's ten Minor Treasures of Kinesis Felines into his Human Avatar to create a singular whole, an existence derived by the additive fusion of his powers.
"Fucker...you attacked me!" A pitiful scream echoed as Virala was sent flying for many kilometres into the sky, his chest caving in largely despite being protected by a full-powered Tratham armour.
Standing at the palace room with a slightly outstretched arm was a 48-metre-tall golden humanoid with a feline head that sported a lion's general shape and mane, but had jaws resembling a tiger's instead.
The feline face was present across all the joints-elbows, knees, knuckles, etc.
The front and back of the chest too sported a large protrusion resembling the face of a feline. The legs resembled that of a feline while tiny, outstretched nails jutted out of the human hands. Ripped like a human boxer with the bestial frame and agility of a feline, Boul Brimgan stood proudly as he watched virala continue to make a beautiful arc in the sky, "I did warn you, didn't I?"
He slowly turned around to face Inala, "This is my Tertiary Nature, Deity Fusion. In this state, I become one with my Kinesis Felines. The strength, intelligence, physical might, and Prana capacity of them all are integrated into me completely."
He calmly pointed his index finger towards Inala on the shoulder as Prana surged into a spherical vortex, barely a centimetre in diameter that burst at one point to eject out a beam. It was the same beam as those unleashed by the Kinesis Felines, but faster, with greater control.
The beam pierced Inala's shoulder cleanly as Boul Brimgan retracted the beam and spoke, "The destructive power of my beams is the highest among any ability. It became enhanced after I entered the Mystic Grade."
As he spoke, his fingers trembled, one that worsened within the next couple of seconds until Broul Brimgan collapsed, having let go of the transformation. He reverted to human form as the Kinesis Feline surrounded him, slightly low on reserves as they merged into his Human
Avatar.
"I...can't maintain this transformation for long." Boul Brimgan smiled wryly as he wiped his sweat, "It places immense strain on my body, mind, and Spirit Container. My current limit is eight seconds."
"Eight seconds isn't enough." Inala said, uncaring about his shoulder injury that had already healed by now. He was impressed by Boul Brimgan's capability, asking after some thought, "What about your mother?"
"Has she obtained Deity Fusion too?"
"No," Boul Brimgan sighed, "She has only recently fused with the Major Treasure. It will take
a while before she can obtain the Tertiary Nature."
"I'll supply you with as much Prana and Lifespan as you need." Inala said without hesitation, "Train without rest until you can maintain that state for an hour."
"An hour?" Boul Brimgan's eyes widened at the incredulity of the task, "I'm not sure if that's
something I can achieve in two years. The amount of power I achieve when I activate Deity Fusion is beyond what I can realistically control. So, I need a lot of practice time. Besides, I need to rest a few days at least after every activation."
"My body won't be able to bear the load..." He stopped speaking upon feeling rich lifeforce
funnel into him, one that invigorated him. His body healed instantly as he felt like he could use Deity Fusion once again, without any side-effects.
"Amazing, right?" Inala smirked, "This is the Celestial Boar's Lifespan. Even if you're on the brink of exhaustion, you'll be rejuvenated as if you've rested for days."
"Train nonstop," He said, smiling upon seeing a crimson spinning disk fly into the palace
room, undoing the Tratham armour covering it to reveal a metre-long Mystic Ewworm whose mouth had bit on its tail to assume the shape of a ring. "Oh, he's here, perfect to act as a
punching bag, wouldn't you say?"
Reverting to human form, Virala grumbled as he stared at Boul Brimgan in shock, "Did you have to punch me just because your transformation didn't have the oomph necessary to send
me flying?"
"Nah, I just had a comfortable opportunity to punch you and took it." Boul Brimgan winked as he pointed at his forehead, "It's a great stress relief, you see, punching you, I mean."
Just because he could overlook personal hatred for the overall picture didn't mean Boul
Brimgan had forgotten the fact that Virala killed his father. And hence, he just saw a chance and made a harmless payback.
"Practice punching him. Let him defend to his best capability." Inala pointed at Virala and
addressed Boul Brimgan, "That way, you can rapidly accumulate experience. After all, it's a necessity by this point."
"Is it done?" Virala asked, turning serious as he glared at the Biome Bomb holding Brangara,
"Have you accessed all of his data?"
"Pretty much everything that is known, I guess." Inala nodded and threw the Biome Bomb
towards Virala, "Ensure he doesn't die. We have to feed on his flesh to rapidly progress through the Life Stage."
"I know." Virala shrugged and walked through the door that appeared on the Biome Bomb, stopping before Brangara as he stared at the latter's unconscious self. He calmly whipped out his Minor Treasure of Mystic Human Stamp and placed it on Brangara's forehead, "This is
revenge for my only friend."
"Argh!" Brangara's eyes shot open due to the sheer pain he experienced, hollering like he was getting tortured. Immediately in response, a steady stream of Celestial Boar lifeforce entered him, ensuring he was alive.
The Mystic Human Stamp dug its roots through his head and extracted all his memories,
condensing them as tangible data that Virala stored in a Spirit Container cluster and rhythmically chucked them into his mouth.
He swallowed them whole and watched as his stomach digested them, funnelling the data
into the Prana carried by his bloodstream. And as the blood entered his heart, the Prana
passed through the Spirit Container, causing the relevant information to appear in his mindspace.
Gradually, Virala accumulated all of Brangara's memories, his breaths hot as his eyes seethed
in anger. He clenched his hand into a fist as subconsciously, his Tratham armour shaped itself
into a hammer, expressing his intent to pummel Brangara's head.
"Fuck!" He roared and walked out of the Biome Bomb once he had extracted all of Brangara's
memories. Ignoring the figure of Brangara that was now in a vegetative state, "Just learning about his plans towards Orakha is disgusting."
"This is your copy of his memories." Virala placed a Spirit Container cluster in Boul Brimgan's voice and walked away, "I'm going out to cool down."
He stopped for a moment and stared at Inala, "I've destroyed Brangara's mind. He won't be
recovering even if you remove his Spirit Container Seal."
With that, his figure leapt out of the palace hall, turning into a crimson stream that spread across the surface of the Northern Lakes, rippling out nonstop in rage.
