I'll Surpass The MC

chapter-692
Inala's Biome Bomb refined 180 units of Silver Grade Prana into one unit of Gold Grade Prana. In terms of Royal Zinger genes, the same ratio applied.
As a result, to get the effect of a single Gold Grade body of his, Inala needed to fuse 180 Silver Grade bodies of his with Nectar. And he had to stack the resultant substance ten times to finish creating a Major Treasure.
The biggest problem with this was that he had to do it while at the Silver Grade. Things would have been many times simpler if he could be his Mystic Grade self. The sheer amount of brainpower he attained at the Mystic Grade was unreal, allowing him to perform tasks that otherwise seemed impossible.
To reach the Mystic Grade was to become an absolute existence. That fact held true in every field, irrespective of how much Sumatra's power system developed.
Thankfully for him, unlike when he created the Minor Treasure of Prana Stitch, the Hidden Eye's accumulating influence did all the intricate work. He only had to supply Prana and seamlessly fuse his bodies with Nectar and allow Hidden Eye's influence to integrate the resultant within its framework.His Silver Grade brain was able to handle the work, initially. However, as the days passed with him having zero rest, despite how much Lifeforce he supplied to himself to stay at an optimal state of being, exhaustion was gradually setting in him at a fundamental level.
Inala felt restless, as he was losing out in the field of information. Though he received a ginormous volume of information from the Brimgan Founder, he no longer had a handle on the current affairs. It was unlike when he was preparing for the Attribute, which was when he had the most knowledge about his allies and enemies.
But now, he hardly had an idea. If not for Orakha and Virala arriving at the Ravaged Federation, he wouldn't even know about the birth of Yamahara. Losing out on information would make him irrelevant in the long run, even if he was strong, as he wouldn't know what his enemies were capable of and the means to counter their plans.
It was a necessary trade-off as Inala's hands were tied until he created the necessary Major and Minor Treasures for himself and the Quip Clan.
The days passed without issues as he held on, despite his growing exhaustion. He could have a comfortable nap once he had succeeded. Looking forward to some peaceful rest in the future, he gritted through the painstaking endurance, keeping his wits about himself as he did his work nonstop.
Days turned into months and months into years. Finally, fourteen years after the Second Major Disaster, Inala stared with a heated expression as he sent in the final Bolt of Transcendence, observing a concentrated mass of presence condense before him.
A few seconds later, it solidified into an eyeball, immediately unleashing a pillar of light that looped around the cyclotron. Thanks to Perfect Biome Domination, he was able to keep it concealed. However, it was getting harder to do so in his Silver Grade self.He elevated himself to Beginner Gold Grade and was able to handle the pillar of light generated by the newly created entity.
Major Treasure—Flight!
It had the same power as the Influenced Region of Hidden Eye. However, there was one difference. It was a Royal Zinger exclusive power now.
Only Inala could fuse with the Major Treasure of Flight and wield its power. No one else would be able to fuse with it, including Quip Clansmen.
His heart rate accelerated to its zenith as he stared in excitement at the Major Treasure. He could easily claim it to be his greatest creation. After all, this entity completely Sumatra's warfare rules.
To date, all battles and wars have been waged two-dimensionally. However, Inala alone could fight three-dimensionally, since he could fly, which no other existence could do. But that wasn't all.
The Major Treasure of Flight granted Inala's strongest wish, which was to explore Sumatra. With it, he could freely roam across the Continent without danger, as he could simply fly over everyone.
'Once everything's done, I'll be able to fly freely.' He thought with a longing expression and stared at the sky, seeing the void stretching beyond the Ravaged Federation, carrying streams of water that reached the earth beyond the void.
He entered the cyclotron and stared at the Major Treasure of Flight in anticipation, inching his hand slowly before making contact. The eyeball fused with one of his eyes, immediately granting him its power.
"This is…it!" He almost moaned, striking a T-Pose as surfaced, following which his body gradually floated over the water. A couple seconds later, he was hovering a metre in the air. He didn't use a string of Prana to harness himself, wasn't unleashing a gust of wind to generate a thrust, or wasn't anchoring himself through psychokinesis upon a Spirit Weapon floating on the water.
No, he was simply flying in the air, defying all logic, similar to the Influenced Region of Hidden Eye. And even though he was in a state of flight, no existence had arrived to stop him. There was nothing to stop him anymore, as the Hidden Eye had been turned into a Major Treasure which had become Royal Zinger exclusive.
'My Prana is being converted into the Major Treasure's influence.' Inala observed his Prana reserves depleting rapidly. Unlike other Major Treasures that generated influence on their surroundings similar to magnetic induction upon metals and gradually increased the influence, Inala's Prana was a source of energy for the Major Treasure of Flight.
By absorbing his Prana, the Major Treasure of Flight could convert it into its influence, allowing it to generate influence at a significantly higher level than other Major Treasures. This influence was what the Major Treasure consumed to unleash its power.
Whether to fly or erase a being in a state of flight, its influence was consumed. And without the necessary amount of influence, the relevant powers couldn't be unleashed.
Inala's speed of flight was the same as his peak sprinting speed. All the abilities seemed to be based upon his physical capabilities. As a result, Inala could fly faster as his Grade increased.
He couldn't fly at sonic speeds even at the Mystic Grade, as the Royal Zinger wasn't a sprinting-based creature. However, he was still plenty fast. Adding onto his gliding capabilities, he could accelerate once he builds up enough altitude, reaching terrifying speeds.
With this Major Treasure, Inala obtained four abilities. First was obviously flight, which made him no different from a bird on a Continent without flying entities.
Second was the Hidden Eye's power to use cause and effect to erase the cause of flight. This wasn't something he could control. It was like using a gun. All he could do was aim and press the trigger. If he has enough influence, the cause of flight will be erased. He still had the choice of whether or not to press the trigger, which was a significant boon.
Third was the Major Treasure's Influenced Region. By supplying his Prana to the Major Treasure, he could generate Flight's influence. And by spreading it on a terrain, he could create an Influenced Region.
The Influenced Region created by the Major Treasure of Flight didn't experience any changes in its physical or chemical properties. The terrain remained the same as before. However, the piece of terrain carrying the influence can now float.
With it, Inala could finally begin constructing the home of the Quip Clan at the Dieng Canyon, high up in the sky. The Quip Clansmen could glide down when necessary, and to climb up, they could rely upon a rope ladder.
Zingers were faster at climbing than sprinting on flat ground, so they were playing to their advantage here. As long as he has enough Prana, Inala could expand the size of the Influenced Region in a short time.
Influenced Region—Floating Biome!
The perfect combination was to pour the Major Treasure of Flight's influence on the terrain condensed in Inala's Biome Bombs. That would create his Influenced Region the fastest, allowing Inala to create floating platforms whenever and wherever he wanted on the fly.
This gave him a strategic advantage. That wasn't all. If he wanted, he could have gained plenty of abilities, as he had enough foundation to do so. Inala had the information and resources to gain the Natures of multiple races.
However, doing that would indeed make him versatile, but not in the direction he wanted. He would simply have a thousand abilities, which wasn't something he was into from the beginning.
Inala's objective remained the same from the beginning. To be versatile, he didn't need hundreds of Natures but one Nature with hundreds of variations.
It was how Inala used the combination of Prana Bombs with Mystic Bone Art and Internal Inertial Gravity to create Skills for a variety of situations, prepared for all contingencies. His thoughts remained unchanged even now.
Hence, Inala simply began to build upon his existing abilities. The Royal Zinger could glide. And now, by adding in flight, he became a flying existence.
His Biome Bombs could condense a terrain from the Gold Grade onwards. As it was condensed from his Prana, influencing it into an Influenced Region through the Major Treasure of Flight was almost instantaneous, as both originated from the same source—the Royal Zinger's attributed Prana.
And with that, he finally created an escape route for himself, one that allowed him to flee when the situation turned life-
threatening. Even after becoming the Royal Zinger, Inala wasn't confident in killing the Celestial Boar with a guaranteed chance of success. Hence, he needed a mode to flee.
The Fourth ability achieved exactly that. Whenever an existence attained the state of flight, no matter where it was on Sumatra Continent, the Influenced Region of Hidden Eye appeared near it. Now, Inala could do the same, able to appear next to any existence in a state of flight.
Considering how long Hidden Eye had been active, there might at most be one or two cases per year or even lower that it needed to erase. Even that was a generous estimate. But Inala wasn't concerned about other existences.
He would still perform the Hidden Eye's actions to ensure the safety of Sumatra. However, his focus was on the possibilities this ability granted him. Even his Silver Biome Bombs could behave as a helicopter and assume flight.
This means that Inala could purposefully place Biome Bombs all across Sumatra Continent in a state of flight and use them as teleportation checkpoints. As long as he had enough of the Major Treasure's influence, he could teleport to far-off distances without issues.
Combined with the Prana supply from the Biome Lattice, Inala now gained a power superior to the Iron Empyrean Tentacle, able to teleport as many times as he wanted per day, as long as he had enough Prana.
'I can use the Influenced Region to leave Floating Biomes at a high altitude above various regions. And within these Floating Biomes, I'll leave a Gold Biome Bomb that's in a state. If it's a Gold Biomb Bomb containing a Bolt of Transcendence, it'll have enough Prana to maintain a state of flight for multiple decades.' Inala laughed, 'That means I'll have safe platforms to seek refuge and gather my bearings before striking my foes.'
"Finally…I'm ready to target the Celestial Boar…" He muttered with a radically excited but exhausted voice, falling asleep mid-
sentence. His soft snores were all that echoed in the place.
