I'll Surpass The MC

Grehha and Raaha walked through a narrow channel whose entry was restricted. Every second, Grehha could feel powerful waves of Internal Inertial Gravity washing over him, barely managing to avoid harming him.

He wasn't part of the 1st Empyrean Tusk's immune system. Hence, the latter's immune response was instinctively trying to get rid of it. The Empyrean Tusk diverted part of its attention to avoid killing Grehha.

Thankfully, they intended to keep their visit short. So, the 1st Empyrean Tusk wouldn't experience a rash. The deeper into its bodies a foreigner went, the stronger the Empyrean Tusk's immune response.

When it was an enemy, the Empyrean Tusk could simply focus on killing them. But when it was a Mammoth Clansman, it had to exercise caution to avoid harming them, which stressed it gradually until a rash broke out.

"Walk faster." Saying so, Raaha broke into a sprint, blazing through the channel. In response to it, Grehha enveloped himself in an Empyrean Incubator and turned it through psychokinesis, chasing after Raaha like a rolling ball.

In a minute, they were within a pulsating world filled with mountains of flesh resembling ranges, condensing a voluminous sum of information. Prana flowed through the ground in waves, forming electric sparks that arched through the sky like lightning, carrying vast sums of information.

Right as Grehha entered, he could see a six-storey tower in the centre of this world, one connected to the pulsating waves of Prana. A good number of the lightning bolts slammed into it and seemed to be absorbed into it.

"Chief, I thought the Mammoth Treasury had merged into your body." Grehha expressed his confusion.

"It has, but it can be extracted as I please, since I control it." Raaha said, "Since I already obtained the Gold Empyrean Tentacle's power, I'm keeping it safe here. And this biome can only form thanks to the Mammoth Treasury. And it's also here that the Mammoth Elders live and make plans."

"The 1st Empyrean Tusk reads their minds and follows their thought process."

"So, that's how it works." Grehha nodded and accompanied Raaha towards the Mammoth Treasury and entered it, arriving at a vast grassland. He had been here before to receive a Minor Treasure of his choice.

Grehha stared at the blinding pillars of light that reached the sky, amazed.

"Spectacular, right?" Raaha smirked, "This is the Mammoth Clan's true wealth. We have gathered this generation after generation of painstaking effort, braving through countless deaths."

"Follow me." He said and walked towards a simple house situated at a corner of this world, knocking on the door thrice before he entered, "I greet the Mammoth Elders."

"Haven't we made the decision just now, Chief?" The living room consisted of a round table, around which sat sixteen people. One of them, an old man with a cropped beard spoke, his expression unmoving despite seeing the Mammoth Clan Chief.

Even though the table appeared like a mere piece of furniture, it was the most complex Bone Slip in all of Mammoth Clan, having been refined and developed over thousands of years. The volume of information contained in this table was beyond what a single Empyrean Tusk could handle.

The function of the Mammoth Elders was to collate and gather all data and add it to the table, named the Mammoth Slip. They would discuss various matters and keep refining the pool of data for future generations, ensuring the Mammoth Clan developed on the right track.

The Supreme Tusk Gannala developed the seven Mystic Paths through this information, since it obtained that through the inheritance from the then 1st Empyrean Tusk.

"Go ahead, prove your point." Raaha patted Grehha on the back and stood still, allowing the latter to make a case.

"Greetings, Elders." Grehha bowed and got right to the point as he opened the box, "In here are twenty eggs I refined specifically to protect the Empyrean Tusk's insides."

"When they hatch, depending on the Prana they absorb, they'll become part of the respective Empyrean Tusk's immune system. They'll be Pranic Beasts with the same function as us, but as they are mere Iron Grade Pranic Beasts, they are expendable. Their numbers are easy to recover too." Grehha said, thinking for a moment upon seeing the unimpressed looks of the Mammoth Elders.

'They have lost touch with reality. Then, there's a simple solution.' He smirked and said, "They can collect resources on our behalf and repair the Empyrean Tusk's body. And if worst comes to worst, they can combust themselves and directly become part of their Deity's strength."

"Explain further." One of the Mammoth Elders said, his interest captured by the last point, "How exactly will they become part of our Deity's strength?"

"That's through the three Natures they have," Grehha said, noticing everyone stare at him in absolute shock, including Raaha.

"You mean…" Raaha pointed at the eggs with trembling fingers, "All of them will be born with three Natures?"

"Yes, that's how I made them." Grehha nodded.

"Even you didn't know about this, Chief?" One of the Mammoth Elders asked.

"I supported his plan once I came to understand the Primary Nature possessed by these Pranic Beasts." Raaha sighed and stared at Grehha, "I never thought you would upgrade it beyond that."

"I got the idea after the Boar King attacked us." Grehha said, "Since our situation is desperate, I felt inspired to improve. Both its Secondary and Tertiary Natures are merely genetic traits already in them. I simply mingled them with their Prana to turn them into Natures."

Expert Iron Grade Pranic Beast—Bone Viper!

With a Prana capacity of 910 at maturity and a lifespan of ninety years, it was a pretty decent Pranic Beast. Reaching a length of three to four metres on average, it sported forelimbs, looking similar to a Mud Viper in terms of body structure.

But covering it from head to toe was an exoskeleton similar to an Empyrean Tusk, giving it potent defence. Its body was already perfect to crawl through the groves on an Empyrean Tusk's exoskeleton and the network of channels spanning through its body. Now, it has become even more specialised to live in an Empyrean Tusk.

Primary Nature—Spirit Bone!

This was the same Primary Nature as Grehha, one that allowed the Bone Viper to release a mist that would solidify into bone upon coming into contact with the target. And this bone was made to be compatible with the Empyrean Tusk's exoskeleton.

Thereby, when the Empyrean Tusk fights the Boar King and gets its exoskeleton shaved off by the latter, the Bone Vipers could hurriedly produce more of the substance. In terms of quality, it was lacking, but using Mystic Bone Art, the Empyrean Tusk could refine the produced amount and quickly create its powerful exoskeleton.

This gave it more freedom of movement and less resource consumption when it entered a battle state.

"Yeah, this was enough to convince me." Raaha nodded once Grehha finished explaining the Bone Viper's Primary Nature.

By now, the Mammoth Elders had their attention on Grehha as one of them retorted, "But rearing a Pranic Beast in the body of our Deity is unforgivable."

"No matter how much we control them, they'll never be Mammoth Clansmen." He argued.

"Yes, Elder. You make perfect sense, which is why, I formed its Secondary Nature." Grehha grinned, watching the faces of everyone freeze up in shock and experience an identity crisis a moment later.
