Chapter 861: Live Strong, Brat


    ?


    Brangara retraced his steps based on memory, intending to return to the original spot before his fight with In, which was within the Spirit Weapon range of the Infinite Divine Soldier. He unleashed a pir of light in the respective direction, watching it get drowned by the darkness after a while.


    Even though it travelled a long distance, darkness quickly blocked his sight. When even sight was blocked, it needn''t be said for sound. ''Guess my only option is to travel in the respective direction.''


    He began to kick the air and run, frowning at his snail''s pace, ''This will take a while...!''


    To run faster, he could alwaysnd on the ground and proceed. However, that would meaning into contact with the grey sand significantly more potent than the dangerous Sandy- Grey Void regions away from the Sumatra Continent.


    He couldn''t take such needless risks, especially when he had the upper hand here. ''As long as I manage to find In, I can destroy him and put an end to all this. He must be in an extremely fragile state.''


    It was true, and currently rolling about within the grey sand farther away was In, hollering nonstop. His transcendent skin began to peel and fall on the grey sand, converting it into Attributed Water that wasn''t affected by the grey sand.


    With an extension of his damaged sand, In had to convert the Attributed Water into grey sand, for only that way could his actions remain discrete.


    "Who...am I?" He screamed in confusion, unable to tell anything apart, not knowing whether tough or cry, forgetting what emotions even were. He rapidly lost his sense of self as hundreds of Tangible Piezo Slips that he hadunched moments before mmed into him and jolted his memories.


    He barely managed to remember a few stuff and hurriedlyunched them as Tangible Piezo Slips onto him. "I...I am...who?"


    "Who am I?" He wracked his head, banging it against the grey sand nonstop, his every m causing shockwaves to course across the region. His Transcendent body was extremely strong. Thankfully, he wasn''t using his hands to p the sand, for the sheer impact that would cause could cause fluctuations even in the darkness of the Sandy-Grey Void.


    Had Maroppa been in the vicinity, she would have gone insane at the mere sight of the current In. The effect would be no different from an Empyrean Tusking across a Transcendent Empyrean Boar King.


    Steadily, while losing his sense of self, In was being elevated into a higher existence. Mustering whatever sanity he could, he used Perfect Biome Domination amongst Tangible Piezo Slip, using the shockwaves to send his shedding body parts flying in a certain direction.


    At the target was the Brood Mother, continuing to run about in search of the Celestial Boar. It only struggled initially as the grey sand ate away at its body, starting from the feet. But slowly, the rate at which it was being consumed began to slow down, ''I shouldn''t allow it to adapt to this location. That will work against my objective!''


    ''My objective? What is my objective? What...was I even trying to do just now?'' As In continued to bang his head against the grey sand, his body parts fell in the vicinity of the Brood Mother and reverted the grey sand into Attributed Water, following which it began to resemble the Dieng Canyon''s terrain.


    The Brood Mother stopped for a moment and approached arge tree that had sprouted before it all of a sudden. It looked around for a moment before feeling a sense of hunger, for which it opened its mouth and gobbled up the tree.


    Feeling some of its hunger alleviate in response, the Brood Mother continued to devour more trees from its vicinity. It was actually famished at the moment, after the evolution. Moreover, its Prana reserves had been consumed to a good extent after its travel across the grey sand.


    Therefore, before it could target the Celestial Boar, it felt the necessity to replenish its reserves. The change in terrain happened at the perfect moment.


    ''Good, it''s staying put for the time being.'' In thought once he recovered a portion of his mind, losing it spontaneously after. His arm crumbled and copsed into grey sand, following which a stream of grey sand condensed across his socket and formed a new arm.


    His body was being destroyed and rebuilt rapidly while a tremendous amount of Prana was gettingpressed in his Spirit Container. Everything that he had amounted to, thought, experience, and gained across his two lives were gathered into the Spirit Container.


    Body, Mind, and Soul; everything that epassed the being called In was funnelled into the Spirit Container, causing it to begin evolving into a higher existence.


    This experience flowed through the Indigo Mystic Path and funnelled into Gann''s Mystic Cup, actually causing it to overflow. Enough experience was being poured into it that the Mystic Cup was on the verge of shattering from the sheer pressure.


    Suddenly, the Mystic Path connection between In and Gann was wholly severed. The one who did it was In as the Mystic Path was already on the verge of crumbling. After all, the moment In reached his current point, it already signified the death of the Mystic Path


    In.


    The future Royal Zinger would only be In and not the Indigo Mystic Path In.


    In the void of his mind space, In''s figure appeared and focused on the crumbling Indigo Mystic Path. He focused for a moment and used the Mystic Path to peer into Gann''s mind space, essing a few data fragments to infer she was currently sprinting towards the Khatra Desert, tears streaming out her eyes.


    Yennda and Harr were able tomunicate through their Mystic Path connection.


    In obviously was aware of the method. However, he refrained from doing so, for Gann wouldn''t be able to handlemunicating with the Royal Zinger. There were other reasons, but at the end of the day, he didn''t wish to talk to her.


    ''Should I...?'' He entertained the thought for a moment before letting out a subtle smirk, ''I am her family. The least I should do is leave behind some parting words.''


    [Live strong, brat!]


    The rushing figure of Gann arrived at a sudden halt upon hearing In''s words in her mind space. She looked around, unable to detect thetter before realising the information arrived from the Indigo Mystic Path. Right as it had happened, the path shattered as her Mystic Cup overflowed.


    ''How dare he act like this after kidnapping Harr!'' Gann raged instantly as Prana billowed out of her body. However, tears too did the same in her eyes as she subconsciously plopped to the ground. Her body trembled as even if she wished to avoid reality, her mind analysed everything andid the truth to her bare, ''It''s...it''s his farewell...''


    "Dad..." Her anger, her bravado, and even her confidence copsed as she clutched her face and sobbed, "Why? Just why? You bastard! Don''t LEAVE ME!"


    "Please...don''t." She continued to sob as arge group of Quip nsmen glided towards her location, intending to protect her, for that was the orders from her Deity. Her sobs only grew louder as there was no longer any traces of the Indigo Mystic Path. Only the overflowing Indigo Mystic Cup remained in her mindspace.


    Once the Fourth Major Disaster begins and the Seat of Transcendence reveals itself, the Indigo Mystic Cup will unleash its effect and elevate her to the Mystic Grade. ''I... thought I was angry at him for bing the Royal Zinger, but it doesn''t matter now.''


    ''I just wanted to be angry at you. Can''t you...can''t you at least speak to me once before you end it all?'' She felt pain in her chest. No longer was she the Empyrean Tusk fated with the future of her n, but a mere girl whose childish tantrum pushed her father away from her, forever.


    In the Khatra Desert, the figure of Brangara began to steadily elerate through the usage


    of Drifting Tunnel alongside Subtle Terrain Domination. The grey sand itself could be controlled by his absolute domain, which allowed him to regain his bearings after enough


    time had passed.


    State of Unity-Unlimited Predator!


    He unleashed a pir of light and illuminated the darkness for a short while, watching it something rigid towards the end, ''I''m almost there.''


    "The Infinite Divine Soldier is close!" He cackled and sped up, having amassed an arsenal of Unlimited Predator Satellites to his very limit. Whatever excess Prana he generated was used up just to maintain these Satellites, numbering in the thousands.


    ''These are enough to destroy the Royal Zinger''s fourth step!'' He thought, unleashing another pir of light into the darkness. This time, halfway through its path, it illuminated a golden humanoid, "There you are!"


    Seeing the Infinite Divine Soldier poise up to fight, Brangara cackled, unleashing a few more pirs of light to form a clear line of sight, observing that in the time Yahard Tusk had been left alone, he had focused on increasing his advantage.


    The Infinite Divine Soldier had somewhat emted the characteristics of the Kinesis Feline, sporting a head in its shape, also bing capable of unleashing the destructive beam. That wasn''t all. The ground within its Spirit Weapon range had also been turned into Rirenal.


    They emitted a powerful presence that enhanced the might of the Infinite Divine Soldier, making it absolutely prepared to go against the Celestial Boar alone. ''He has prepared a lot to face me. It might have worked on me before.''


    "However, the current me is stronger!" He roared and closed in the distance. Right as he was about to enter the Infinite Divine Soldier''s attack range, the Sandy-Grey Void vanished, "Huh?"


    The darkness dissipated, as if it never existed in the first ce. The water that had flooded the


    Khatra Desert and had then been turned into grey sand too had disappeared, revealing the original ivory sand.


    Dense forests rich with vitality grew across the Khatra Desert, boosted by the dripping of the Royal Zinger''s transcendent body''s sludge in response to Unlimited Predator.


    The expansive aurorae that covered the region, capable of killing even Gold Grade Pranic


    Beasts had vanished, as if it had never existed.


    From a desert where life couldn''t exist to one where life could thrive, especially for the Mammoth n, the Khatra Desert had undergone drastic changes.


    Stopping right before the Infinite Divine Soldier''s attack range, Brangara tapped the air and


    jumped back a few hundred metres, looking around in a hurry in an effort to detect In, "Where is he? What the hell is he?"


    He expanded his Prana detection means radially, unable to detect In until suddenly, the


    skin on his wrist exploded. What he had detected was so powerful that the skin prickle alone destroyed his wrist.


    Brangara hurriedly swerved his head in the respective direction, noticing a human hovering inn/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    the air, steadily flying higher into the sky. Even though he was there, it felt like he wasn''t there at the same ce.


    But one thing was for sure. Merely breathing the same air as this existence would mutate a cultivator to iparable levels, worth natural selection spanning a million years. "Is


    that..."


    "In?"


    The person in question casually flew higher and higher into the sky, his expression bordering high insanity as he observed a tangible barrier covering Sumatra. No, his gaze perceived past that, observing ginormous,ary-sized faces trying to peer into the happenings on Sumatra, "AHHH! So, these annoying fuckers were watching everything?"


    His figure blurred and appeared before the barrier, too high up for even the current Brangara


    to detect, reaching the limit of what a cultivator on Sumatra could achieve in terms of


    altitude.


    A nce downward, and In could observe the entire part of Sumatra where their entire


    fiasco had transpired, from Sumatra Chronicles to the current state of events. His head swerved upwards as his hand gently rested on the barrier.


    Immediately in response, he found himself in a strange mindspace, noticing a pair of


    enclosed eyes along the horizon, their size bigger than the biggest Transcendent World he


    had witnessed.


    "Let me out for a moment." In didn''t hesitate and addressed the pair of enclosed eyes.


    The eyes remained shut, but a formless voice resounded in his mind.


    [Feeling daring today, aren''t we, In?]


    "I knew it," In smirked inprehension, "Even if you''re not alive, you can still


    communicate. It''s simr to how my Biome Bombs can operate on their own as long as they have my Prana."


    Seeing the silence from the enclosed pair of eyes, In answered, "Yes! I want to do this


    before I die. I have a lot of pent-up frustrations to unleash."


    There was silence for a few seconds before the pair of enclosed eyes trembled for an instant.


    And then, Sumatra''s voice resounded in In''s mind.


    [I dislike external interference. Simrly, I don''t wish you to waste your limited power


    unnecessarily. It''s only meant to be used against Brangara and not against a Transcendent. So, let''s do it like this!]


    ''Seems you were right on the mark, Brimgan.'' At the following words he heard, In couldn''t


    help butugh raucously, "I like the sound of that!"


    [I''ll maintain your state with my power until you return to Sumatra. Your fourth step''s power


    will be consumed only after your return. Now, go out and show off, Royal Zinger In!]


    As the words resounded in his mind space, In''s body passed through the barrier and left Sumatra Continent, stunning the Transcendents at his sudden emergence.
