I'll Surpass The MC

Chapter 1087: Leader of the Drenta Human Alliance

Silver Grade Mineral—Parihuh!

Silver Grade Mineral—Brunth!

Silver Grade Mineral—Relth!

The entirety of the Drenta Vine, occupied by the PariBota Kingdom, contained a total of three Silver Grade minerals in large quantities, sufficient for commercial use. The mineral Relth was employed the earliest, when migrants first arrived in the Kingdom.

It was the strongest of the three minerals and was therefore employed by the then Royal Family. When built into a Human Avatar, it gave the first-generation Royalty enough strength by the 4-Life Stage to contend against a Centinger, which was a show of one possessing peak Silver Grade strength.

Primary Nature—Hot Bubble Bath!

When built into a Human Avatar, the user was able to create Spirit Weapons so thin they resembled bubbles and could be carried by the wind. Upon creation, they absorbed sunlight to charge up heat. Read full story at NoveI[F]ire.net

Upon coming into contact, they exploded and dumped all the stored heat into the target. Despite being a Spirit Weapon, the faintest of winds, generated by even blowing hard from the mouth, was enough to keep them in the air.

As a result, psychokinesis was only required to control their direction. This lack of mental load allowed the user to control dozens to hundreds of bubbles at a time.

Of course, it had large weaknesses too, especially wind, which forced the user to rely more on psychokinesis for control. It could force them into falling into a territory where their weaknesses were exploited more than their strength.

Thankfully, the structure of the Drenta Vein gave them a geographical altitude advantage, which generated a downward draft towards the foot. Therefore, at the Drenta Vein, it was an overwhelming ability.

The first generation relied on Relth to build their Kingdom. However, over time, they were unable to keep up. After all, Relth gave them an overwhelming advantage in terms of might, but nothing else.

The bubbles exploded upon contact. Though minimal, Relth formed the bubbles. So, every usage reduced the mineral mass built into the Human Avatar. Therefore, if wars happened frequently, the Royalty suffered from a dropping cultivation.

This prompted them to use more resources to regain their cultivation, which ultimately bankrupted their Kingdom. And then, they were replaced by another family, which took up the Royalty Status.

This Royal Family used the mineral Brunth, which was somewhat lacking in combat power, but excelled in everything else.

Primary Nature—Wooden Gratitude!

When built into the Human Avatar, the Free Human gained the power to infuse the regenerative trait of their Prana onto trees. And most of all, they were able to rewrite the structure of the tree.

If a Tree, due to genetics and environmental factors, were confined to a vertical height of twenty metres, with fourteen branches, and two harvests every year, it could be changed to reach a height of sixty metres, have as many or as few branches as necessary, and bear fruits in whatever number, size and shape the Free Human desired.

As long as the structural integrity of the tree was maintained, it could be changed freely. In terms of combat, the Free Human required prior preparations.

Basically, it was to plant seeds in the ground at the battlefield. When necessary, they would infuse Prana into the seed and treat it as a Spirit Weapon, causing it to grow in size at speeds enough to pierce through whatever creature was standing overhead.

“Their Kingdom lasted the longest.” RiRonda explained, “However, there came a time when the Royalty fell victim to the influence generated by Brunth.”

The influence generated by Brunth turned the Free Human into a kind, caring individual. It was so weak that a Free Human barely needed to meditate for a few days every year to fully withstand all influence issues generated by the mineral.

There were practically no issues beyond that. With this power, their Kingdom grew prosperous enough to even trade medicines with neighbouring Kingdoms. They even developed enough to start manufacturing Elixirs.

However, Brunth had a hidden side effect, in that its descendants, over the generations, became more attuned with it, and turned strange. Since their power relied on changing plant life as they pleased, the influence from Brunth, over generations, turned their genetics weak.

“It’s like inbreeding, but taken to the extreme.” RiRonda shuddered, “Within three generations, they deformed to the extent they couldn’t even be considered Free Humans anymore.”

“Surely a migrant Kingdom wouldn’t treat…” Wally was just about to say something, but RiRonda shook his head and chuckled self-deprecatingly.

“They couldn’t build a Human Avatar anymore.” RiRonda expressed in fear, “Their genetic information became extremely susceptible to external influence that even using any Nature near them affected them adversely.”

“A Pranic Beast unleashed its presence, and you know what happened?” RiRonda stated in sadness, “A 6-Life Stage powerhouse just gawked blankly as his Human Avatar shattered. And before the eyes of my grandfather, turned into a Ravaged Tribesman.”

“That wasn’t all.” He grumbled, “Another Pranic Beast unleashed its presence, and his body morphed due to that too. And obviously, two genetic modifications were too much, and it resulted in him dying due to organ failure.”

“Brunth became a banned mineral after the current Royal Family took charge and established the PariBota Kingdom 1862 years ago.” RiRonda explained, “It is now used strategically, since it is still extremely valuable. After three generations, the family would use Relth instead.”

The two Silver Grade influences would erase all genetic influences of each other over the generations. And by constantly switching between the two, no issues related to Brunth ever cropped up again.

“Our current system is completely based on Parentage Meritocracy. If the parents accumulate enough contributions, then their children could build a Human Avatar using Parihuh.” RiRonda stated in pride, “My parents accumulated enough contributions to net me resources enough to reach the 4-Life Stage.”

“And I,” He smiled, “Will accumulate enough to ensure my four children can all reach the 4-Life Stage using Parihuh.”

Primary Nature—Adhesive Kinesis sling!

It created a string capable of pulling up to eighty times the mass of the individual building the Human Avatar with Parihuh.

The hook at the end of the string generated a power of psychokinesis with adhesive property, capable of attracting objects to the hook or allowing the hook to root itself into a mass of earth or water.

In terms of power or usage, Parihuh was the least valuable of the three Silver Grade minerals present in the PariBota Kingdom. However, it was versatile.

And most of all, groups of Free Humans could easily team up with this build, making it powerful when unleashed in a collective.

RiRonda went into details with the intention of recruiting Wally and Zhya. In his perspective, the Rumtara Kingdom might be extremely incompetent, but it was a fact they managed to survive for so long.

And most of all, they were the Brimgan Empire’s satellite state, ’I heard many secrets of the Brimgan Empire could be found at the Rumtara Kingdom.’

It was a mere rumour. However, it was worth the effort to verify the rumour, which was exactly why he was so enthusiastic in his speech towards Wally.

“Since you both have Silver Grade strength, I am obligated to report you too to the Palace,” RiRonda said as he made an obvious reaction of communication, which was only for courtesy’s sake. He had already used an Information Slip the moment they arrived before the gate to inform the Guards about everything related to the duo.

The Royal Palace was already aware of the duo and had even commanded RiRonda to bring the two to a less discreet meeting hall where people of Royalty could take the time to observe and converse with the duo, if needed.

“Please follow me,” RiRonda said as he followed orders.

The PariBota Kingdom was built like a fleet of boats rowing down a river. It created a seamless wind draft along the Drenta Vein, which made it risky to stroll through the open streets casually. There were designated underground walk spaces underneath the roads, separated by a porous ceiling from the surface.

“Sister,” As the duo silently followed RiRonda, Wally whispered.

“I know,” Zhya nodded without hesitation as slowly, she cracked her neck, “You stay put.”

“Sure,” Wally smirked and dangled his arms behind his neck to walk like a tired zombie.

“Someone I know will help you integrate into our Kingdom,” RiRonda said upon arriving at an unsuspecting door. He then opened it, revealing an open space resembling a crater.

There was no ceiling here, and hence, the updraft violently circulated through the crater. The crater stretched a length of six kilometres and a breadth of four kilometres. It seemed to be an open space to conduct drills for the soldiers in preparation for war.

Currently, it was empty. A total of three individuals were in the crater. Two were standing forty metres from the entrance while the third was seated to the side, grumbling something nonstop.

RiRonda closed the door behind the duo of Wally and Zhya the moment they entered the crater. There was a loud clank from the other side, showcasing that it had been welded shut.

Ignoring the seated individual, Wally focused on the two individuals, an old man and a youth, who stood before him in interest, ’They have powerful presences. Especially,’

His eyes fell upon the youth and noticed the latter’s eye making contact, ’He’s pretty strong!’

“To think esteemed individuals such as yourselves have set foot on my Kingdom,” The old man took the initiative to speak, performing a curt bow to introduce himself, “I am WoBhimika, King of PariBota.”

“Sis, was our disguise imperfect?” Wally asked in confusion, “How come they knew of our identity so easily?”

“Was using our real names bad?” He asked.

“Not really,” Zhya shook her head, “Our names aren’t known much other than in our respective communities. That’s why I used it, since I was sure from my network that this place shouldn’t have known about us.”

“Then…?” Wally tilted his head and noticed Zhya staring at the youth, “Is he someone special?”

“Yes,” Zhya said, much to Wally’s surprise. She stared at the latter and asked, “Can you guess where the Mystic Tentacle’s Ruin is from here?”

“We can take a plunge from here,” Wally nodded to express that it wasn’t an issue, “I’m confident there’s a path on the ground for us to tread on without getting confused.”

“I see, that confirms everything.” Zhya nodded and stared at the youth, whispering, “I believe we’re too late.”

“What we’re seeking seems to have already been claimed.”

She pointed at the youth, “By him, I mean, seeing as,”

“Even at the young age of 84, with a cultivation barely entering the 2-Life Stage, he’s already the leader of the Drenta Human alliance.”
