786 Pet Is Me, Me Is Pet

Inala flew through the Sanctuary, ignoring the sprawling cities filled with powerful people, each possessing a complex Nature. Due to the Natures being an amalgamation of powers combined into a practical whole, it became harder to counter them.

'A good number of them are complex Natures like my Mystic Royalty.' Inala thought as he flew overhead the people casually, using Perfect Biome Domination to gain some insight into their abilities.

However, he didn't interact with them and simply flew at a steady speed. The reason he didn't accept the test was simple—he was capable of succeeding in the test, however the resources required to finish it would harm all his plans.

Currently, he was using the entirety of the Quip Clan's forces to amass resources, especially Prana Bomb, using which he created orbs—Biome Bombs with a Bolt of Transcendence stored inside.

These orbs served as the backbone of his power, and the greater the number of them he had amassed, the stronger he would be, 'Especially since the State of Unity is a blackhole for Prana.'

The longer he could maintain his State of Unity, the higher his chance in killing Brangara, 'Even though his State of Unity is stabler, his knowledge about it is inferior to mine.'

The Brimgan Founder had long since realised that Sumatra's power system was incomplete and was mostly reliant on the mind aspect alone. Hence, after becoming the Major Treasure of Attribute, he had been thinking, nonstop, of ways to explore the body and soul aspects too.

And the moment Inala obtained Brangara's data, it clicked with the Brimgan Founder's data, improving his understanding. It still wasn't enough to actually harness the aspects of body and soul. However, he had some ideas as to how he could explore them, even if there was no time to do so anymore.

His wings spread wide as Inala used Flight to raise his altitude and glided downwards, accelerating in response. And upon reaching the maximum possible velocity at the lowest altitude, he arched upward, using flight to maintain the velocity while regaining altitude once again.

By repeating this process, his speed of flight was significantly higher than what he could achieve through either gliding or using the Major Treasure of Flight to fly. Moreover, it was extremely energy-efficient, since he was simply gliding most of the journey.

Eight days of flying later, Inala arrived on the peak of a rocky hill situated in the centre of a forest. It was an old forest, having been in existence for tens of thousands of years, and had never been explored, since it was immensely dense.

In the shape of an amoeba, the forest expanded, its shortest border from the centre reaching an insane distance of five thousand kilometres.

The Ravaged Federation was in the shape of a planet. Its interior was a spherical hollow, and the inner surface was actually the ground where the Clansmen in the Sanctuary lived upon. Hence, the surface area was still massive.

Due to the sheer size and density of the forest, no Clansman tried to enter it. After all, this forest was like the heart of the Sanctuary, producing most of the products necessary to sustain life. The source of many rivers existed here, with the roots of the trees seeping minerals into the water to enrich it further.

And a faint tinge of Elixir too was mixed into the water, making it immensely valuable for the survival and development of the Clansmen. That wasn't all, the Transcendents too informed the 10-Life Stage Clansmen to avoid causing harm to the forest, and hence strict rules had been established to prevent entry.

'It was for a reason.' Inala thought as he flew above the forest, soon landing upon the rocky hill in its centre. He didn't even have to use any probing methods, for he could clearly feel its presence here.

Major Treasure—Pet!

There was a cave entrance situated on the side of the rocky hill as Inala hovered before it, feeling Pet's presence grow stronger as he walked through the cave. It was a small hill, so the distance he had to travel, though winding like a river, spanned less than three hundred metres.

And soon, he reached the end, one barely reaching a height of two metres, only thick enough for him to move sideways, making him feel claustrophobic. As Inala arrived at the end, a pair of eyes stared at him with expectant curiosity.

It was green, shaped like a rabbit with an oversized cat head. Its ears were a pair of tentacles that reached its tail, covered by fur. The eyes were beady, covering half its face, pale red in colour, resembling a plastic bucket that had been left out in the sun for months.

The creature stood up gloriously upon seeing Inala, reaching his knees at its tallest. It reached out with its foreleg and pointed at him, "You're Indigo!"

"I am," Inala stared sideways to stare at the creature. Though the angle was awkward, he didn't plan on using Perfect Biome Domination to widen the space, for that might mess up the setup.

After all, the Influenced Region of Sanctuary was concentrated the strongest here and it was from here that it extended to the rest of the planet.

Staring at the creature that seemed completely harmless, Inala asked, "How did you know that I was Indigo?"

"I've been watching you, after all." The Major Treasure of Pet let out faint squeaks in response, "Well, I've been watching all seven of you, since I was angry of being using in your scheme."

"I'm listening," Inala nodded, understanding that there was immense difference between the Major Treasure of Pet before him and the one that had appeared in Sumatra Chronicles.

The appearance of the Major Treasure of Pet signals the Fourth Major Disaster. However, unlike the other Major Treasures, the Major Treasure of Pet didn't stay within the Sanctuary. Instead, it came out and manifested itself on the Ravaged Federation.

The Empyrean Boar King's rampage destroyed the Ravaged Federation and even damaged Pet, which was why it remained a lifeless plushie when Resha fused with it. 'However, it's apparent that Pet moved out of the Sanctuary to protect the Clansmen.'

"Let's begin with introductions, Inala." Pet smiled and made a formal bow, "I'm the one addressed by the Ravaged Federation as the Extreme Iron Transcendent, Torq."

"You're…Torq?" Inala's eyes widened in shock, "But aren't you a Transcendent? Then how do you exist simultaneously as a Major Treasure here? Shouldn't Sumatra block you out, considering it blocks out any personal interference from the Transcendents?"

"It's nothing unusual," Pet laughed, "If the current you became a Transcendent and the next Royal Zinger turned into a Major Treasure, you might be capable of something similar. Well, it wouldn't be as effective as mine, since our builds are different, however you too can achieve this."

'True,' Once Inala thought about it, he felt likelihood of the possibility being high. He stared at Pet and asked, "So, through you, I'm able to converse with your Transcendent self, in real-time?"

"Yes," Pet nodded, "However, that's all we can do. The Major Treasure of Pet is special, so through it, I can communicate with you. However, my actual body can never appear her, nor can my influence. Sumatra will block it out."

"You can't force your way through?" Inala asked, only to see Pet burst into laughter in response.

"The level of power possessed by the natives of Sumatra is weak, but that doesn't imply Sumatra itself is weak. As a continent, it's still on the younger side and is growing steadily. However," Pet's voice turned sharp, "When it was a Transcendent, Sumatra represented the pinnacle of power. It came from one of the strongest Continents with a completed power system and became a Transcendent as a Mystic Grade existence."

"And even among Mystic Grade Transcendents, it was a powerful existence." Pet laughed, "Among Transcendents, we judge power based on two simple parameters."

"First is whether the Transcendent can kill a Transcendent Eater." Pet continued, "You need to be at the Mystic Grade to achieve this. And above this is a higher level, which only a minority even among Mystic Transcendents could achieve."

"It's to singlehandedly kill a Cosmic Being." Pet's voice was solemn, "That represents the pinnacle of power. And Sumatra was one such existence. Before it lost the will to survive, it had killed two Cosmic Beings singlehandedly."

"Though it has become a Continent, Sumatra's power hasn't waned." Pet laughed, "So, if it wanted to block us out, no Transcendent could force its way in."

"That's impressive," Inala expressed his awe, "Tell me more."

"I would love to," Pet laughed, "After all, I have been hoping for either Brangara or the Mystic Paths to approach me before the Fourth Major Disaster began. This way, I could at least prepare you guys for what comes after."

"The Continental Invasion, you mean?" Inala nodded, explaining upon seeing Pet's surprise, "Sumatra's Transcendent Eater has been communicating with Yamahara. I learnt it through him."

"Ahh, now it makes sense." Pet's voice muttered in realisation, "No wonder is it getting beaten pathetically out here. It has been focusing most of its attention on Sumatra."
