I'll Surpass The MC

Chapter 468 Virala Changes Plans

Virala read through all the records collected by Yarsha Zahara. There was a detail about the Boar King\'s birth there, as she wanted to analyse the event behind his birth as a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast and use it to improve the growth of her children.

As a result, the Boar King gave her Information Slips with the relevant information. And Virala had absorbed everything. He only leaked a portion of the truth and spun his own narrative on it, intending to manipulate Brandal Brimgan through it.

Since Brandal Brimgan intended to face the Boar King, Virala kept that matter as the focus, knowing very well that the latter would readily absorb everything related to it.

Hence, he mixed in a certain something among the information.

Dance of Annihilation!

He couldn\'t activate it properly as his Spirit Container was sealed. But instead, Virala watched as the Major Treasure influenced his biome the fastest. And by sending an Empyrean Tusk there, he made it dance the steps necessary to turn Brandal Brimgan into a Nature Weapon.

Before his Spirit Container was sealed by Brandal Brimgan, Virala activated his Secondary Nature of Weaponisation alongside Dance of Annihilation to gain information of the dance he had to perform to turn the latter into a Nature Weapon.

Not only did he have to dance for a couple of hours, but it couldn\'t be interrupted in the slightest. Otherwise, it would fail. Hence, he was unable to perform it.

But now, the situation was perfect. The goal was to influence Brandal Brimgan\'s Prana. The conditions were to satisfy that while the Dance of Annihilation shortened the various actions into a dance.

As the Empyrean Tusk danced in his stomach biome under the Major Treasure\'s influence, the scene was sent into the tornado in his mind, causing it to materialise outside his body and be absorbed by the Information Slip in Brandal Brimgan\'s hand.

This was sneakily mixed amidst other information.

As the Empyrean Tusk danced in his stomach biome, its body began to shatter in response and be carried out through the tornado. As Brandal Brimgan absorbed the information in the Information Slip, the body parts of the Empyrean Tusk flowed into his mind.

At present, it hid amidst other information clusters as noise. But once its entire body was there, it would assume form and dance in his mindspace, influencing influence from the core of his being.

Brandal Brimgan didn\'t have the means to survive that attack and would inevitable be transformed into Nature Weapons. But it would take time. Hence, Virala was patient, \'Besides, by now, my influence on Brana might have worn off. He\'ll reveal everything I did to Yarsha Zahara. So, I can\'t go ahead with that plan.\'

\'I\'ll have to do something else.\' He thought and began to refine his plans, controlling his true intent as he stared at Brandal Brimgan, \'You\'re a terrifying powerhouse. From what I know, only Raaha and Brangara are stronger than you. But it\'s your arrogance and carelessness that\'ll spell your demise.\'

\'It\'s also a lesson for me.\' Virala thought while self-analysing, \'No matter how strong I become, if I become careless for a moment, I can be killed. It\'s not the strongest that survive but the fittest. That\'s the law of Sumatra.\'

\'I became arrogant just like Resha upon gaining the power of an Empyrean Tusk and focused on strength accumulation. That\'s the wrong path. It\'s a wonder I never realised it before. Facing that guy at the Karuta Hill proved it to me. Even with a weak ability, he was able to outwit me.\' Virala thought, sighing in realisation, \'You were on the right path all along, Inala. Versatility is the most important, even more than strength.\'

\'Because Brandal Brimgan isn\'t versatile enough, he\'s already fallen prey to me without even realising it.\' Virala thought in realisation, \'In that aspect, Inala has been focusing on it since day one. Grehha too has been accumulating for the same. It\'s why the two of them are content with having Silver Grade strength. They\'ll become versatile enough to target the weaknesses of their enemies.\'

The Boar King was freakishly strong to an absurd, incomprehensible extent. It was the height of foolishness to face his strength, as Resha did in Sumatra Chronicles. A dog\'s death awaited that decision.

Instead, it was better to target the Boar King\'s weaknesses, repeatedly. Figure out where he was weak and accurately hit that and have a versatile power that is able to target them all spontaneously.

As Virala thought about it, he realised that Inala, Grehha, and even the dumbass, Yennda was proceeding along that root. He was shocked upon the realisation, \'Yennda had everyone fooled all along. Right, he wasn\'t dying fruitlessly in dangerous regions due to Raaha\'s orders. No, he\'s preparing countermeasures to various situations and racking up life-and-death experiences on a mass scale.\'

\'He took advantage of Blola\'s revival mechanism. That fucker! He\'s sneaky as a worm.\' Virala chuckled mentally, \'I have been insulting Resha all along, but somewhere along the line, I became no different to him.\'

\'Since when did I start pursuing the Mystic Grade like a mindless idiot?\' He sighed, \'That\'s useless. It\'ll take me many centuries to reach the peak of the Body Stage like that. Even as an Empyrean Tusk, to reach the peak of the Body Stage for this body, I used up all resources of the Mammoth Clan.\'

\'Yeah, that\'s foolish.\' He thought and focused on his mind space, watching the Empyrean Tusks do their tasks without rest, \'A cultivator has an advantage in being able to reach the 10-Life Stage. But even for a Brimgan Royal with Gold Grade strength, they\'ll have to be at a minimum of 4-Life Stage to have a chance at killing a Gold Grade Pranic Beasts. It\'s because their massive bodies are a force of their own.\'

\'In my case, my Empyrean Tusk body is on the level of a calamity. Just by running I can generate earthquakes. But, it\'s useless without the Nature Weapon of Tusk.\' Virala concluded, \'That\'s my weakness. If I have to use my Empyrean Tusk form, I\'ll have to waste a Nature slot to equip Internal Inertial Gravity. But without it, by fighting in human form, I\'ll be no different from a Brimgan Royal. Even at the 10-Life Stage with Gold Grade strength, I\'ll only be able to kill a 3-Life Stage Gold Grade Pranic Beast.\'

In the situation that a Gold Grade Pranic Beast has the Tertiary Nature of cultivator and could stack bodies, Virala\'s endgame build would only be able to be on par its 3-Life Stage form. It\'s because of the momentum their bodies alone could generate.

Thereby, he was extremely limited in that form. And though an Empyrean Tusk body was extremely powerful, having no rival on Sumatra, it didn\'t work against the Boar King, someone who evolved to hunt and predate Empyrean Tusks.

\'That\'s how I have to change myself.\' Virala finalised his plans as he focused on his Spirit Container, \'A versatile entity where I won\'t just change Natures but also Pranic Beast bodies too.\'

Virala observed the Empyrean Tusks in his mindspace, his Secondary Nature of Weaponisation, and the Nature Weapon of Tusk. His gaze finally lay on the Nature Weapon of Refiner, smiling in response as he stared at the golden giant, \'I know what to do now.\'
