I'll Surpass The MC-Chapter 674 Derivation of a Nature

?"Now that it's done, let's leave," Raaha said, only to be stopped by Gannala immediately after. He stared at her in confusion, "Is something the matter?"

"Chief, your power falls in the same category. As the Blessed Race of Sumatra, you too won't be able to leave the continent."

"You make sense," Raaha looked around as he grumbled, "If only Resha was here. I could have transferred the Mammoth Chief role to him."

"Chief, do you mind if I say something?" Gannala asked, curbing her hesitation as she was direct, "Please transfer your power of the Gold Empyrean Tentacle to Orakha."

"What?" Raaha was stunned that Gannala was being too direct about her intentions, "Are you being serious now, Gannala?"

"Yes," Gannala nodded, "Since you don't seem willing to gain the power of a Mystic Empyrean Tentacle, this is our only other choice. Orakha will be able to handle the influence of becoming one."

'Why the fuck is she talking about it out in the open like this?' Orakha was startled by her words as his body froze up a little in response. He indeed had the intention of obtaining the power of both the Gold and Silver Empyrean Tentacles.

But he was still in the process of making the preparations. After all, he didn't wish to lose his power of Human Avatar and Mystic Eater in the process of obtaining the Gold and Silver Empyrean Tentacle powers.

Honestly speaking, his powers were a lot more versatile than what he would be getting from fusing with the Gold and Silver Empyrean Tentacles. Only the revival capabilities of the Iron Empyrean Tentacle were useful to him.

Hence, he was trying to think of a solution for the problem of implosion with his Human Avatar. He had enough Sumatra Gold to stabilise himself and not face any consequences. All he needed was a thought in the right direction and his strength would balloon even further while minimizing the risks.

It was why he didn't take action despite being present with multiple opportunities. But now, Gannala's words placed him in a tricky situation, feeling the gazes of all Empyrean Tusks land on him.

"What are your thoughts on it?" Raaha stared at Orakha, his words stunning everyone, "If you want the Gold Empyrean Tentacle's power, you can have it. As Gannala said, I won't be able to leave Sumatra with it. So, I'm better off giving it to you."

"Honestly speaking," Orakha sighed and revealed his thought, "Individually, the Gold Empyrean Tentacle's power is stronger than the output of my Primary Nature. But now that I've started to successfully harness more of the power of Sumatra Gold in my Human Avatar, I'm gradually reaching Mystic Grade strength. In a few decades, I'll have power superior to a Mystic Tentacle."

"Then…" Raaha stared at Harrala, "Does Yahard Tusk wish to obtain the Gold Empyrean Tentacle's power? Since you're staying here, he'll be able to wield it without issues."

"I'll bring him out." Harrala excused herself and brought out her Settlement Leader, the one with the power of the Silver Empyrean Tentacle, Yahard Tusk.

And the moment he heard the proposition, he kneeled on the ground with an expression overwhelmed by joy, "That'll be my honour."

"That's done then." Raaha stared at Gannala, "Anything else?"

"Yeah," Gannala nodded and stared at the Empyrean Tusks, "I need to give them all something."

With a thought from her, the Mammoth Treasury manifested beside her. The six-storey tower brimmed with a suffocating might as Vhalla stared at it with a pitiful expression. It was her responsibility to protect the Mammoth Treasury. And now, she had given it up to Gannala, despite being the 1st Empyrean Tusk.

Once Gannala reached maturity, she'd naturally gain the title of 1st Empyrean Tusk due to her strength. transferring ownership of the Mammoth Treasury to her would have been natural. But as Vhalla had done it prematurely, she felt lacking.

'I can't even protect the next generation. What the fuck do I exist for then?' She clenched her hand into a fist, watching it tremble the moment she thought of the Celestial Boar, 'This…fear! I can't seem to break out of it.'

'I'm running away like a coward!' Her expression convulsed upon staring at the back of Gannala, 'She has been doing everything in her power to create a future for us. As the leader of the Empyrean Tusks, I should have done something.'

'Alas! I'm nothing!' She stared at the ceiling of the underground dome with a vacant gaze.

In the meantime, the moment Mammoth Treasury fully stabilised itself, Gannala entered it and walked to the centre of the ground floor, arriving at the centre as she stared at the empty field of grass before her.

A thought from her and the ground convulsed, revealing a flight of stairs. She walked through it and arrived in an underground space. Every floor of the Mammoth Treasure was a world of its own, connected by a flight of stairs.

The underground floor was hidden from others, revealed only to the Empyrean Tusk in possession of it. Until now, no Empyrean Tusk was able to enter it, as the entrance was too small to fit their ginormous bodies.

However, as Gannala had a human form, she could enter it freely. And now, she arrived at the underground floor, staring at the vast meadow that stretched endlessly, 'In terms of size, this floor alone equals the remaining six storeys of the Mammoth Treasury.'

"Instead of leaving it alone like this, we could have farmed here." She muttered upon looking around, "Not only is this space stable, but it's a perfect biome capable of sustaining life on its own. The Major Treasure's influence has accumulated to a decent amount here."

But it would still take dozens of thousands of years before the Mammoth Treasury finishes forming. By then, it would have ten storeys, and each storey would be as big as a world on its own. The entirety of the space inside the Mammoth Treasury currently would barely encompass a tiny portion of a storey in the future.

Due to the characteristics of the Mammoth Treasury, the Mammoth Clan stored Minor Treasures inside. Even when the Minor Treasures unleashed their pillars of light, the pillars of light were contained within the Mammoth Treasury.

This served as their greatest foundation, as the Mammoth Clan didn't have to rely on someone to carry their Minor Treasures for storage, something every other force had to employ.

But the reason they didn't take advantage of the space within the Mammoth Treasury was to prevent its development from being hindered by the actions of the Mammoth Clansmen. They also didn't see the need to use that space, since they had plenty of it within the biomes of the Empyrean Tusks themselves.

Gannala didn't allow distracting thoughts to plague her as she walked through the underground storey and soon spotted the Major Treasure, the sole entity in this storey. It was in the shape of a liver, hovering two metres above the ground.

A stream of light circulated around it, forming twisted curves like a cluster of serpents engaged in a mating dance. From its ends, fragments of the light split off and dissipated, fusing with the surroundings.

The Major Treasure was steadily influencing its surroundings, developing the Mammoth Treasury.

Major Treasure—Arsenal!

This was the true name of the Major Treasure contained within the Mammoth Treasury. The moment she laid eyes on it, the identity of the Major Treasure popped up in her mind space.

She wasn't surprised though, having already derived its identity through the information present in her inheritance. She had been targeting it all along, having made multiple preparations for it. It could be said that the one who understood the Major Treasure of Arsenal the most in the Mammoth Clan was her.

"The Mammoth Ancestor selected the best possible option in her era. But that's lacking for the current times, especially when considering the capabilities of the Major Treasure of Arsenal." She muttered.

The Major Treasure of Arsenal had an extremely simple power. It retained the information of a Nature fused with it, capable of storing up to ten copies of the same—similar to a cultivator at the 10-Life Stage.

However, since the Nature fused with it was the Gold Empyrean Tentacle's, Sumatra's rule—that only one copy of its blessed race could exist—interfered with it, resulting in the Major Treasure of Arsenal containing only one copy of Thought Condensation.

That was wasted potential, especially because any Nature could be granted to the Major Treasure of Arsenal and it could multiple it by ten. Meaning, ten people could inherit its power at a time.

And if one of them were to die, the Major Treasure would immediately create the necessary copy of the Nature, allowing the owner to bestow it to another individual. If Gannala were to load it up with Internal Inertial Gravity, it would have ten copies of the Nature.

With that, she could bestow ten Empyrean Tusks with a Secondary Nature of Internal Inertial Gravity. Or in the extreme case, she could bestow five Empyrean Tusks with Secondary and Tertiary Natures of Internal Inertial Gravity.

Imagine an Empyrean Tusk with all three Natures filled by Internal Inertial Gravity. Now, that was an extremely powerful existence, able to unleash destructive power on the level of a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast.

Of course, Mahira Tusk wanted to control all the future generations of Mystic Empyrean Tentacles. It was why she placed the power of the Gold Empyrean Tentacle in the Major Treasure of Arsenal.

During her era, the sole Mystic Grade Pranic Beast was a Mystic Empyrean Tentacle. The Mammoth Clan had no one else that could be considered a mortal enemy, since she had annihilated all the Mudroppers.

So, she was of the mind that as long as the Mammoth Clan controlled the power of Sumatra's Blessed Race, it meant that the Mystic Empyrean Tentacle that appeared every era would be a Mammoth Clansman.

That meant a steady stream of Mystic Transcendents that would join her faction in the Transcendent Worlds. She had laid down a solid foundation for the Mammoth Clan, one that needn't be changed if not for the arrival of Brangara.

"I apologise in advance, Ancestor." Gannala bowed before the Major Treasure of Arsenal as she took out the Mammoth Clansman Virala in his Nature Weapon form, "But the situation requires me to strengthen ourselves to the utmost level. For that, I need a stronger Mammoth Clan."

"This is the only option available," Saying so, she activated both Dance of Annihilation and Dance of Recovery on Virala's Nature Weapon form, eliciting screams from the latter. She poured her influence into him, silencing him in a matter of seconds, numbing his mind first.

'Focus on the principles!' She thought and went through her accumulations, retracing the thoughts of Mahira Tusk, 'Weaponisation is something she created through Internal Inertial Gravity.'

By developing Internal Inertial Gravity to the extreme, Mahira Tusk derived the Nature of Weaponisation. The application started as a Skill, and was gradually elevated to the level of a Prime Skill; eventually, when her body, mind, and soul harmonised with the power to a conceptual level, she evolved accordingly, deriving the Secondary Nature of Weaponisation.

Gannala focused on it, intending to apply the reverse on Virala's Mystic Grade Nature of Weaponisation. The goal was to return it to its roots, creating a Mystic Grade version of Internal Inertial Gravity.

It wasn't just one time that the Mammoth Clansman's power had been built to the extreme to result in another Nature. The first time was by Mahira Tusk. And after multiple observations, adding onto her recent clash, Gannala figured out the principles behind the second time this had been achieved.

And the one who achieved it was none other than Brangara, when he created the Nature of Cultivator.
