I'll Surpass The MC

"Your rashes have gotten worse." Seated on a boulder next to a dazed, middle-aged woman was Gannala, continuing to scratch her arms as she heard Inala's remark.

"I have been carrying Asaeya in my biome all along. Seems her existence alone affected me more than your Empyrean Zingers." She said in irritation and shot a glare in the direction of Asaeya who was coolly drawing circles on the ground nearby.

"Don't blame me." Asaeya shrugged at the accusation as she remained focused on her circle. She then transformed her nail into a needle and plunged it into her eye, "Aren't I outside now? Take the time to heal."

Gannala turned away from Asaeya, unwilling to see such a sight of gore. "Masochistic woman…"

"Empyrean retard," Asaeya retorted in response. A moment's glare later, the two women exchanged blows, stopping once Gannala ran away, covered from head to toe by needles that transmitted pain through her body.

"It hurts! Stop attacking me, dammit!" Gannala then slid underneath Inala's legs, fluidly used his body as a shield, and then unleashed a gust of air at Asaeya, knocking her away.

"Don't involve me in this." Inala slipped free from Gannala's hold and leapt away, unwilling to be caught in this fight.

"Impotent bastard, can't you take a hit until I've vented enough?" Asaeya shouted at Inala and attacked him.

"I'm telling you, it's just not possible because of my Mystic Path. It'll be resolved once I obtain the Attribute." Inala said and created a Prana Bomb shield to protect himself.

While Gannala entered the body of an Enrino and travelled through the wilds, Inala and Asaeya lived in her biome, with plenty of time in their hands. Other than training and communicating with Gannala, Inala spent the rest of the time making merry with Asaeya.

But a year passed and Asaeya failed to get pregnant. Eventually, as Gannala began to comprehend her Mystic Path, Inala figured out the cause.

The Supreme Tusk Gannala split her path to the Mystic Grade into seven fragments, with each becoming a realistic path to the Mystic Grade. Each Mystic Path was represented by the aspect that Gannala had fragmented to create. And the easiest way to recognise them was through colour.

Indigo Mystic Path—Inala!

This was the reason Inala's colour was Indigo when Renduldu transported his soul from Earth to the Sumatra Continent. The one transferred from his mind to Gannala after her birth wasn't the entire Mystic Path.

No, it was just the bridge between the two, and one with the power to form a station in Gannala. Basically, Inala himself was the Indigo Mystic Path. Everything he does would be converted into information that would feed into Gannala through the Mystic Path's connection between the two.

And once the cup in Gannala's mindspace fills to the brim, it would unleash Sumatra's presence and make Gannala reach the Mystic Grade. But, the type of Mystic Grade Pranic Beast that she'll become depends entirely on Inala's actions.

So, Inala's actions became the fuel that directed Gannala's Mystic Grade form, race, etc. The Indigo Mystic Path was merely a cup to fill Inala's actions into.

Since he himself was the personification of the Mystic Path, to avoid damaging the bridge, the Supreme Tusk Gannala had placed a limitation, thereby preventing the Mystic Paths from having more than one child.

Therefore, until the cup in Gannala fills to the brim and she reaches Mystic Grade, Inala will be unable to have another child. This restriction applied to the other six Mystic Paths too.

Originally, Inala assumed the Mystic Path to be the cup in the mindspace. Since unleashing the Sumatra Continent's presence was enough to attain the Mystic Grade, he assumed that to be the Mystic Path.

But the Supreme Tusk Gannala wasn't satisfied with the Empyrean Tusks simply reaching the Mystic Grade, knowing very well that a Mystic Grade Empyrean Tusk was merely fuel to the Boar King.

Even among Mystic Grade Pranic Beasts, the Boar King was in a league of his own. The Supreme Tusk Gannala knew this very well thanks to the information Renduldu had given her.

A Mystic Grade Empyrean Tusk not only would be defeated by the Boar King but would also end up getting devoured by him. The moment the Boar King becomes armed with a Mystic Grade Nature, no creature would ever be his opponent.

And if the seven Mystic Paths were to create seven Mystic Grade Empyrean Tusks, the Mammoth Clan would have no future. That was why, even though she had a clear view of the Mystic Grade through the seven Mystic Paths, the Supreme Tusk Gannala had to complicate things while creating them.

Now, based on the actions taken by the seven Mystic Paths, their respective children would reach the Mystic Grade accordingly, becoming variants of Empyrean Tusks or transforming into a completely different race.

Empyrean Tusks had already reached the end of their evolution path, which is why they have the suffix of Empyrean. Therefore, to attain the Mystic Grade, they'll have to become a Pranic Beast different from an Empyrean Tusk.

Since they'll change races anyway, the Supreme Tusk Gannala wanted them to become versions that best countered the Boar King. Since the seven Mystic Paths read Sumatra Chronicles while on Earth, they'll take actions that would best counter the Boar King, their ultimate enemy.

As a result, their actions would influence their children to become Mystic Grade Pranic Beasts which personified them as a counter to the Boar King. This was the Supreme Tusk Gannala's ultimate goal.

And as long as one was a Mystic Path, irrespective of what they did, they'd find themselves in a death battle against the Boar King in the Fourth Major Disaster. After all, the actions they take would be the best fuel to fill up the cups and cause their children to reach the Mystic Grade.

The Supreme Tusk Gannala had focused on this aspect the strongest and ensured it to be the case. It was why even after Virala broke free from the Mammoth Clan and removed himself from Renduldu's arrangements, the shiny orb remained in his mindspace.

He was still the Violet Mystic Path. Influenced by his actions, the cup in his child would fill up and then bring the child into the Mystic Grade accordingly.

Renduldu had merely used the Transcendent Eater's power to ensure the seven Mystic Paths didn't die before they realised their potential. If someone managed to break free from this arrangement, it only meant they were powerful enough to do so, which meant they wouldn't die that easily in Sumatra.

Originally, Inala felt pissed upon realising that even after he becomes a Zinger completely, he'll still be involved in everything. He wasn't yet able to find out the cause or how he'd be influenced, but one thing was for sure.

No matter what he does, he'll find himself at the centre of every single Major Disaster, as did all Mystic Paths. And they'll all face the Boar King repeatedly until the Fourth Major Disaster for a final battle.

If they manage to survive, they'll truly be free, for by then, their children will have become Mystic Grade Pranic Beasts. With no longer being Mystic Paths, they'll be able to do as they please. But until then, they'll have to dance to the tune of whatever arrangements the Supreme Tusk Gannala had created.

'Somehow, she's made arrangements using the Major Treasures.' Inala sighed at the thought while defending against Asaeya's frustrated attacks, 'Since they operate at laws beyond Sumatra's power system, it's impossible to understand what or how she's ensuring all seven will participate in all Major Disasters.'
