Chapter 611 Dance of Recovery
?"My build has a risk? That's impossible!" Orakha refuted Gannala's claim, "I'm able to freely change my Human Avatar for all situations. There's no problem with that."
"The Primary Nature of all Free Humans are generated by the mineral they build their Human Avatar with." Gannala spoke in ridicule, "But what about yours? It's thanks to your Primary Nature that you can build a Human Avatar. The power resultant from it isn't reflected as your Primary Nature."
"Your Primary Nature of Human Avatar is at Gold Grade. Until now, the Human Avatar you had were either Gold Grade or weaker." She continued, "But that changed once you fused a piece of Sumatra Gold in it. Currently, you've focused on integrating the power of your Secondary Nature into your Human Avatar through the Sumatra Gold. But the fact of the matter is that your Human Avatar's power has already exceeded your Primary Nature."
"That's a ticking time bomb."
"That…makes sense." Orakha fell deep into thought, "I have been focused on keeping the influence of my Human Avatar on me to a minimum. But indeed, what you said is plausible."
Primary Nature—Human Avatar!
His Primary Nature was to create a Human Avatar. But the effect of his Human Avatar wasn't reflected as a Nature in him. This was an issue. Once his stack of bodies increases, the effects of the Nature created by his Human Avatar would overwhelm his three Natures and cause the stack to collapse.
To avoid the issue, he would have to nerf his Human Avatar. Simply removing the Sumatra Gold from it was more than enough. He wouldn't face any issues even upon reaching the 10-Life Stage.
But removing Sumatra Gold? Orakha didn't want that. He disliked giving up on the massive advantage Sumatra Gold gave him. It would weaken him too much. He wouldn't be as effective as now against Brangara or Yarsha Zahara.
"Moreover, you have one misconception." Gannala returned to her seat and tapped her head, "Based on my inheritance, the Mystic Empyrean Tentacle doesn't have a Mystic Grade Nature."
"What?" Orakha was stunned by the fact, "That's impossible. From what I found out, every era's Mystic Empyrean Tentacle unleashed power that could only be done through a Mystic Grade Nature."
"I'll explain the way the Empyrean Tentacle Race functions." Gannala began to explain, "The Empyrean Tentacles are divided into one parent race and three children race."
"Parent and children race?" Orakha frowned, "What does that mean?"
"Be patient," Gannala rolled her eyes, "Haven't you wondered why the power you have is from the Iron Empyrean Tentacle and not the Iron Tentacle?"
Iron Empyrean Tentacle, Silver Empyrean Tentacle, and Gold Empyrean Tentacle, "The prefix of Empyrean only appears when the race has attained its evolutionary limit. So, if they were one race, then only the Mystic Grade counterpart should have the prefix of Empyrean. But that's not the case, right?"
"All of them have the prefix of Empyrean…" Orakha's eyes lit up at her words, "You mean to say that the Iron, Silver, and Gold variants are distinct races?"
"You can call them Sister Races," Gannala nodded, "The actual race is the Mystic Empyrean Tentacle. It fragments itself into three, unequal portions, turning them all as distinct races. That's where the one parent and three children race monicker appears."
"So, the evolution limit of the Iron Empyrean Tentacle is at the Expert Iron Grade," Orakha muttered.
"Yes, but this is where the genius of the Empyrean Tentacles appears." Gannala exclaimed, "Take Renduldu's example. He was born an Iron Empyrean Tentacle. His Primary Nature was Daily Checkpoint. He then devoured the Silver Empyrean Tentacle, getting the Secondary Nature of Prana Solidification. Finally, he consumed the Gold Empyrean Tentacle and got the Tertiary Nature of Thought Condensation."
"When he became a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast, he had these three Natures." Gannala said, "Having three Natures is the natural state of a Mystic Empyrean Tentacle. They're able to harmonise these three Natures to create a power on par with a Mystic Grade Nature. So, everyone in Sumatra is of the misconception that Mystic Tentacles have a Mystic Grade Nature."
"I thought once I consume the three Natures, they'll fuse to become a Mystic Grade Nature." Orakha felt a searing headache upon realising that his original guess was wrong, 'It seems I made the right choice by hesitating to go ahead with the plan.'
"This also means that I cannot obtain their Natures anymore, since my slots are filled." Orakha sighed.
"I wouldn't worry about that." Gannala said next, "The Gold Empyrean Tentacle's power can easily mimic your Human Avatar's power of Selectively Permeable Plasma. So you wouldn't lose anything by replacing it."
"But I can't do that with my Mystic Eater." Orakha shook his head, "The Silver Empyrean Tentacle's power can solidify Prana into all shapes, but that's of no value to me, especially when compared to my Mystic Eaters. I've built my strength around them."
"You needn't worry about that." Gannala smiled in response, "As long as you gain the power of the Gold Empyrean Tentacle, I'll take care of the rest. I know a way to integrate the power of the Silver Empyrean Tentacle into your Mystic Eater."
"On what basis do I trust you to keep your word?" Orakha frowned.
"For the Mammoth Clan's benefit." Gannala said, "The only reason I'm helping you is for my Clan's benefit. And for our combined benefit, having your child be born as a Mammoth Clansman is a necessity."
"Were you planning to have a Mudropper child?" Gannala stared at Orakha with a knowing smile and said, "That will simply diminish your child's potential. Instead, I have a plan. The outcome is the same as what you want, but the child's potential will be higher."
"I'm all ears," Orakha inched forward a bit, expressing his interest. However, he wasn't convinced by her plan, 'She hasn't yet told me how she'll help me. Gannala's keeping mum about the crux of the plan.'
"Do you know that Maroppa can give birth to as many children as she needs on her own?" Gannala said, chuckling upon seeing Orakha's shock, "She doesn't need a partner to birth a Mudropper. So, the plan is simple."
After Orakha and Maroppa copulated, Maroppa would selectively use his genetics to birth a Mammoth Clansman. Once the Mammoth Clansman reaches the peak of the Spirit Stage, she'll fuse with an egg created by Maroppa.
Thereby, the child will wield the power of a Mudropper while remaining a Mammoth Clansman. This way, she'll be able to take full advantage of Mystic Bone Art, "This way, we can perfectly integrate a Nature Weapon into her Nature Slot and morph it through the influence of her Primary Nature and Mystic Bone Art. The resultant Nature's influence would be in harmony with her."
"Moreover, I'll create a powerful Tertiary Nature for her that'll allow her to use her Primary Nature without any worries." Gannala pointed at the sky, "She wouldn't be targeted by the Transcendents even if she were to transform a large region into the Sandy-Grey Void as long as she has that Tertiary Nature."
"What is it exactly?" Orakha asked, feeling anger rise up in him upon seeing Gannala shrug casually, "You're not planning to tell me?"
"Nope," Gannala shook her head, "If you ever get targeted by the Mystic Human Virala's stamp and leak my plan to him, many things will be at risk. It's not just Virala. If you get captured by Yarsha Zahara, the same thing will happen."
"So, you'll only know the full picture once my preparations are ready," Gannala said and waved her hand at him, prompting him to leave.
"I need some time to think." Saying so, Orakha committed suicide.
"This is a mysterious power," Gannala muttered as she stared at Orakha's corpse dissipate in a matter of seconds and vanish. A mysterious power of space was at function here to break down Orakha's body and reconstruct it anew at the location he was reviving.
"This is good," She stared at the scroll nearby, "With more Wean Clansmen, Brangara will be spending more time and effort nurturing them."
"In that time, I'll also strengthen the Mammoth Clan." Saying so, she got up from her seat, "It's time to consolidate my power and position."
Currently, the Mammoth Clan's power dynamic was complicated. There were the Empyrean Tusks who moved with a certain purpose in mind. There were the Mammoth Elders who asked Vhalla—the 1st Empyrean Tusk—to make changes to her thoughts from time to time and change the herd's actions.
Finally, there was Raaha, the Mammoth Clan Chief. He held a good chunk of power as their strongest and also served as the sole means of communication between the Mammoth Clan and the Mammoth Ancestor.
Without him, they would lose communication with the Transcendent Worlds. Currently, Gannala was being treated as a beloved princess of the Mammoth Clan. Though the Empyrean Tusks and Raaha listened to her opinion, whether or not they acted upon it was entirely up to them.
Raaha was a competent Mammoth Clan Chief, but his thought processes weren't versatile enough like the reincarnates. He wouldn't be able to lead the Mammoth Clan through the upcoming turbulent times, since countless powerful forces were springing up.
'I have the perspective of all reincarnates from their time on Earth.' Gannala thought, 'At present, I'm the only Empyrean Tusk who can think beyond our mental biases.'
"Besides, I'm the only one who can use this." Thinking as such, Gannala closed her eyes and focused on her mind space, observing a cluster of data present there that had taken shape as an Empyrean Tusk.
Weaponisation—Dance of Annihilation!
It was casually strutting about in the mind space. As it continued about its journey, another Empyrean Tusk joined it, one that was slightly bigger, brimming with a powerful sense of compassion.
It was the second ultimate inheritance left behind by the Mammoth Ancestor, the power she had created purely to face the Mudropper Race's repeated invasions.
