432 Maroppa’s Roaring Delight
Grey Kinesis Deity allowed her to morph her Mudropper form into a humanoid giant, giving her the ability to refine her grey sand into a Spirit Weapon with special properties.
The Spirit Weapon could selectively unleash the effects of the Sandy-Grey Void on the target. If needed, Maroppa could cause her Spirit Weapon to simply devour the sound and light in an area. It could appear in all shapes and sizes, with its base form being a pillar of darkness reaching from ground to sky.
As the Spirit Weapon moves, the pillar of darkness moves accordingly. This was merely the start of its capabilities. By making the Spirit Weapon into a chakram, Maroppa could cause it to hover in the sky like an umbrella.
The area under the umbrella would turn into the Sandy-Grey Void, temporarily. Temporarily! That was the key point here. Similar to the pillar of darkness, as the Spirit Weapon moves, so will the generated Sandy-Grey Void.
Once the Spirit Weapon moves away from an area, the Sandy-
Grey Void there would recover back to its original land in a matter of seconds. This meant that Maroppa could unleash her abilities freely without worrying about damage control and fearing an attack by Mahira Tusk or Renduldu from the Transcendent Worlds.
The Grey Kinesis Deity also multiplied her Spirit Weapon range by twice, giving her a maximum range of 360 metres at the peak of the Body Stage. And as she builds bodies in the Life Stage, this range will continue to increase.
Genetically, the Mudropper was capable of leaping once a day, able to travel a kilometre with the leap. Upon reaching the Gold Grade, this aspect had improved to two jumps. But that was it. Assuming her Mudropper form was useless, for it had no combat abilities.
But upon activating her Grey Kinesis Deity form, she could employ her genetic trait without the inherent restrictions. Meaning, she could jump around and cover large distances without limitations.
Overall, the Secondary Nature of Grey Kinesis Deity overcame all her weaknesses and strengthened her existing powers without adding anything new that would influence her negatively.

This meant that the Mudropper race wouldn't just be Gold Grade Pranic Beasts, but when some of them mutate, they'll obtain the Secondary Nature of Grey Kinesis Deity.
It was a historic leap in strength for her race, having undergone the same in rapid succession. As a result, Maroppa was unable to help but laugh raucously, roaring towards Inala, "You're the Bro!"
"Of course," Inala huffed in pride. Irrespective of what happened between the Mammoth Ancestor and the Mudroppers, Maroppa was now a staunch ally of the Mammoth Clan. That became a guaranteed fact.
Mutated Beginner Gold Grade Pranic Beast—Mudropper!
With a maximum Prana capacity of 4600 at maturity and a lifespan of 1340 years, Maroppa had a long, powerful life before her, especially since she could cultivate into the Life Stage and stack bodies. Once she reaches the 10-Life Stage, she could attempt to become a Transcendent, becoming the first of her race to do so.
As long as she becomes a Transcendent, she'll be able to assist her race from the Transcendent World similar to the Transcendents of the Mammoth Clan and Cooter Clan, allowing the Mudroppers to prosper on Sumatra Continent.
Moreover, she'll finally have the capacity to confront Mahira Tusk in the Transcendent World.
While Maroppa dreamed about everything she could accomplish in the future, Inala nudged Orakha from the side, motioning through eye contact, implying that he had created the perfect setup. Now, Orakha only needs to man up and propose to her. When that happens, things will turn for the better.
Orakha let out a subtle groan in response, cursing Inala to stop urging him nonstop, and whispered, "I know what to do."
"Yeah, yeah, aren't you the roadside Romeo?" Inala rolled his eyes in irritation, "How many years do you need to accept someone who wishes to be with you?"
"As if you're in any position to talk," Orakha retorted as he glanced at Asaeya once, "You took a decade yourself."
"My situation's different." Inala snorted, "We were young, busy trying to stay alive, had massive responsibilities, and were constantly on the move."
He pointed at Orakha, "You have money, a mansion to live at, hardly any responsibilities, and most of all, you're both old."
Inala and Orakha swiped middle fingers at each other as Orakha escorted Maroppa and left the house.
"I'm not coming here ever again," Orakha shouted.
"Shoo! Shoo!" Inala made sweeping motions with his hand and relaxed once the duo was gone. He returned to the living room and stared at the last Nature Weapon of Fehta Brimgan, "Now, to give this to Wittral."
"You're only planning to equip this to him, right?" Asaeya asked as she grabbed the Nature Weapon, saying as she saw Inala nod, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
"I have infused my Prana with the power of Weaponisation into this Nature Weapon." Gannala said and placed the Nature Weapon in a box Asaeya had prepared, "As long as he touches it, the Nature Weapon will be equipped to his Tertiary Nature."
It would be risky to reveal Maroppa to Wittral, for that would make him question everything that Inala had spoken to him. Hence, they had to make do with equipping him with the Nature Weapon.
"I'll give it to him." Saying so, Asaeya grabbed the box and left the house, making the trip to the Misty Flake Tea House alone. At present, Hayaya was one of Wittral's closest friends, so it made sense for her to visit him from time to time.
Besides, after discussing with Inala, Asaeya had a reasonable lie to feed to Wittral. That would take care of things on Wittral's side. Moreover, she also wanted to check up on Inala's female form, 'Is her condition stable? She's a wreck most of the time.'
"Dad, this crisis became a big opportunity for us." Gannala said in excitement as she hugged Inala, "We've gained a lot of power. And now, I can use the Nature Weapons to strengthen the Mammoth Clan to a great extent."
"That's true." Inala nodded, "Once Asaeya returns, I'll make a trip to Karuta Hill and make my Empyrean Zingers absorb the remaining Dance of Annihilation. It's for the best to avoid giving Virala any leads to strengthen himself. Let him waste time and effort to create a Skill similar to the Dance of Annihilation and spend years on trial and error."
"Okay," Gannala nodded and began to naturally access Inala's memories, "Dad, why don't you give Blola's skull to me? I'll absorb all the data in it and then feed it to you through the Empyrean Slip Prime Skill. It's faster for you this way."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Alright, let's do that." Inala got up and prepared to bring out Blola's skull, "I'm curious about the data present in the Transcendent Eater too. It should have all the details regarding us seven until the moment Blola died. With it, we'll have a perfect understanding of what everyone has planned."
"Dad…?" Gannala's expression turned pale upon seeing blood drip out of Inala's nose, "What happened?"
"Hmm…?" Inala wiped the blood and stared at it, muttering in realisation, "It seems maintaining the biome for two days has worsened my male form's influence. It's trying to eradicate my female form…"
As he spoke, he collapsed to the floor, feeling strength leave his legs. His breathing slowly grew ragged as he began to sweat all over.
"Hurry!" Gannala shouted as she supported him, "Spit out everything from your biome."
"Okay," Inala wheezed as he began to spit out Prana Bombs filled with the content from his stomach biome, piling them up at the side. Gannala quickly swallowed them all and helped Inala, influencing him as much as possible to suppress his male form.
That way, he wouldn't collapse internally.
It took close to two hours before Inala was able to bring out everything from his stomach biome and deactivate it, reverting his stomach into a regular organ for digestion. "Haaah!"
Inala inhaled and exhaled weakly. A few minutes later, he downed the water Gannala brought and poured some over his head, using it to refresh his state a bit. Following that, he meditated and began to steadily ease up the influence.
"It's not easy," He sighed in worry once he had recovered enough, "I'm not sure how I'll manage once I make the trip outside."
He'll be heading to the Sanrey Plains, develop his Quip Tribe to the limit, and when they were on the cusp of becoming Clansmen, he would store them in his stomach biome. He would then head to the Dralh Sea and gather the second Quip Tribe while ensuring to push them to the cusp too.
He'll have to make them recover their Spirit Containers and bring them to the peak of the Spirit Stage, needing as many elixirs as needed for that. Once that was done, he'd be making a mess to keep the Boar King busy so that he would arrive as late as possible once the Major Treasure of Attribute showed itself.
After all, the Empyrean Tusk herd would have arrived at the Brimgan Empire by then. Hence, Inala had to ensure the Boar King wouldn't come there anytime soon. If he manages to reach the 3-Life Stage by then, he'll definitely fight them without hesitation.
For the variety of tasks he had to perform, maintaining his stomach biome consistently was a necessity. Thinking of it, Inala became worried, "I'm not sure if my body can endure it for that long."
