I'll Surpass The MC

In Sumatra Chronicles, Yarsha Zahara begins building her Human Avatar only after fleeing the Zahara Kingdom. As a result, she selects the most commonly available Silver Grade mineral. But thanks to her genetic gifts, she ends up upgrading the mineral, similar to the Brimgan Empire creating the Gold Grade mineral—Rutham—from the Iron Grade mineral—Kirenal.

Over time, she upgrades her strength and chances upon Resha. In Sumatra Chronicles, that was the most fun as two women—Yarsha Zahara and Yahira—fought for Resha's attention. And obviously, due to Yarsha's attempts, Resha ended up getting stabbed multiple times by Yahira.

But now, things have changed tremendously. Normally, Inala would have controlled himself, no matter how shocked he was by the fact that Yarsha was pregnant with the Boar King's child.

That was until he instinctively felt that the mineral used by Yarsha Zahara to build her Human Avatar was none other than Sumatra Gold.

"That is just absurd!"

Sumatra Gold was the surefire way to reach the Mystic Grade. Inala knew that for a fact now. Three pieces of Sumatra Gold were more than enough for him to complete his path to the Mystic Grade.

Honestly, even one was enough. But Inala used the remaining two to further strengthen and enhance the capabilities of the Primary and Secondary Natures that he would be obtaining post-evolution.

Then what of Yarsha Zahara? She was building a Human Avatar out of Sumatra Gold. If she manages to complete it and reach the peak of the Body Stage, then Inala could forget about killing the Boar King.

'She'll become an absurd existence on par with the Boar King.' Inala became worried. Had anyone else become the Boar King's wife, he wouldn't have been concerned in the slightest. But with her being Yarsha Zahara was terrifying.

Not only was she one of the smartest individuals introduced in Sumatra Chronicles, but she was also a revolutionary who ended up strengthening Free Humans on her own. This all happened while she fled for survival after her home was destroyed and faced treacherous nights at the Mammoth Clan thanks to Yahira.

'If she begins investigating Loot, things will collapse.' This too added to his worries. In terms of schemes, he didn't have confidence in being able to outwit Yarsha Zahara. It was why he constantly triggered her during their meet so that she would gloss over whatever the Boar King told her in irritation.

She was irritated by Amita's existence and wouldn't wish to know more about the latter, since that would only feed her irritation. That was why Inala acted as such towards her.

Otherwise, once she feels either puzzlement or interest towards Inala, she would ask around for more details from the Boar King. And once she begins to investigate, it is just a matter of time before she figures out the truth.

She wasn't called by the readers the Heroine of Sumatra Chronicles for no reason. Prana behaved subserviently towards her, behaving to serve all her thoughts. The level of control she had towards Prana was unprecedented, allowing her to unleash effects on par with Iron Grade Natures through her Prana control alone.

And that existence now became part of the Boar King's family, "This is a fusion of powerhouses."

After some thought, Inala took on his male form and detected the Boar King's position, 'He's still at his house.'

"Dammit!" The feeling of frustration started to well up in him as Inala became worried. Originally, he was still confident enough in using Loot to keep the Boar King on the move. But the moment Yarsha Zahara comes into the picture, she'll be able to dissect all schemes and ensure the Boar King won't waste his time running all over Sumatra Continent.

'This isn't something I can handle alone.' The figure of Orakha came to his mind, 'With his Mystic Eaters, we can cripple Yarsha Zahara's Human Avatar. But we need to be careful. The Boar King would have equipped her with powerful defensive measures and maybe even Minor Treasures.'

Inala condensed a Prana Bomb and transformed it into a Bone Slip, recording a bunch of details in it. He ensured that all details in it would be erased upon being accessed once. But after a moment of thought, he added in a layer of restriction, making it such that only upon receiving Orakha's Prana would it reveal its information.

If anyone else tried to access it, the information in it would be destroyed automatically. This is to guard against the Boar King, since he knew Mystic Bone Art. Considering how Yarsha Zahara created a technique capable of using Sumatra Gold, she obviously must have taken inspiration from both Mystic Bone Art and Mystic Mist Art.

Once the Bone Slip was ready, Inala used Mystic Bone Art and a bunch of Skills to ensure it wouldn't be possible to trace it back to him through it. There were no traces of himself in it.

He didn't leave the tea house and simply closed his eyes to rest his weary mind. He was too emotionally disturbed to see Yarsha Zahara, 'She's why I felt creeped out by Varahan Mansion.'

As night approached, Inala changed dress in his female form, having freshened up. He began serving the customers and smiled in relief to see Maroppa arrive later, "Welcome!"

Maroppa visited daily due to the deal between the two of them. Inala would help her obtain a Secondary Nature while she would supply her Prana—generated after activating her Primary Nature—to Inala.

"Fuoh!" Taking a seat in an empty section on the third floor, Inala gave his hand to Maroppa, watching her seep her Prana into him. As the foreign Prana flowed into his bloodstream, his Prana intended to reject it and eject it from his body.

Before that happened, he used Mystic Bone Art and guided it to his stomach, from which he seeped it into the three pieces of Sumatra Gold, causing them to assimilate into his bones better. Alternating between Mystic Bone Art and Mystic Mist Art, Inala had long since merged the three pieces of Sumatra Gold in his skeleton.

And now, using Maroppa's Prana, he was only causing them to fuse into his bones, so that his Sumatra Gold Skeleton would be complete.

"I'm exhausted." Maroppa sighed after a few minutes, drained of all Prana. She jugged the drink nearby and watched it recover her Prana, "Bring me more of this."

"You want to eat something instead of just drinking like this?" Inala asked once the process was done as he clenched his hand into a fist and observed some changes.

"You'll cook for me?" Maroppa asked in surprise.

"It's a service, thanks to your help." Inala smiled and placed the Bone Slip before her, "Give it to Orakha. It's of utmost importance."

"Did something happen?" Maroppa asked, "You can tell me, since if Orakha will be involved in it, then it means it's something of my concern too."

"Well…" A couple seconds later, Inala sighed, "Do you remember talking about Sumatra Gold to me at the Sanrey Plains?"

"Yeah," Maroppa nodded, "Doesn't all your knowledge regarding it come from me?"

"Yes, but today, I saw something terrifying." Saying so, Inala used Mystic Mist Art to turn Maroppa's drink into a Water Slip. "Drink it, and you'll know."

Maroppa drank the Water Slip, observing a stream of information enter her mind once she digested it, muttering in shock, "Is that woman for real?"

"Yes," Inala sighed, "Absurd, right?"

"Absurd?" Maroppa glared at Inala, "She'll be bonkers powerful once she succeeds."

"You must brace yourself," She concluded, her tone one of pity, "The Mammoth Clan is fucked."
