"What…what the heck is that?" Right as KalTara muttered as such, he noticed his heartrate spiking all of a sudden, followed by every inch of his skin being covered by goosebumps, including the groin area.
The Narkahamy Aurora slowly made eye contact with him and then…winked, "Argh!"
Thump! Thump!
Suddenly, KalTara noticed that he was on the ground, his legs having lost their balance. And simultaneously, the five individual bodies of his, with each of their two tusks having a Human Avatar of Narkahamy, scread.
Actually, the individual bodies were the one screaming. The 5-Life Stage self of KalTara wasn't feeling any issues, but as they were all within each other's Spirit Weapon range, their minds remained connected.
'This isn't good!' The 5-Life Stage KalTara realised as he hurriedly used Shredded Lunge and retreated to a corner of the Empyrean Colosseum. From there, he stared in horror as his five individual bodies were…lting.
They weren't simply lting, but looked like they were getting eaten from the inside. And all the nutrients that ford their bodies were being funnelled into their tusks, causing the latter's size to increase.
"Watch it…KalTara," Narkahamy muttered with a weak beath as he grinned with a maniacal expression, "This is my life's work."
"One that would change Sumatra as a whole."
As he spoke, the five bodies of KalTara dried up completely, turning into withered husks as even their skeletal structures crumbled. Every gram worth of nutrient in it had been funnelled into the tusks, which now emitted clattering sounds, as if they were being broken and joined piece by piece.
The first Boar King's tusk, which spanned a size of thirty tres slowly lost its lustre and turned transparent, revealing a cocoon of concentrated Vara in the centre. It was incubating sothing there, which had been the culprit that had sucked all nutrients from KalTara's body.
"Do you know what my power is, KalTara?" Narkahamy asked as he stared at the confused expression of the Wean Clan Leader, "It is indeed the Blessed Influence, kekeke! No, I don't have any special trump cards beyond this."
"But you see, trump cards can be countered. However, even if this exists, because of how basic it is, it cannot be countered due to its sheer versatility. That's what I did," Narkahamy comnted as the first concentrated Vara cocoon shattered, "I simply dialled back to the basics."
Primary Nature—Gracious Inheritor!
Secondary Nature—Voracious Nature!
Tertiary Nature—Vara Accum!
"Inheritance, limitless consumption, and a stackable hoard; they are the basic functions of my build." Narkahamy grinned as a humanoid figure burst out of the first tusk, "And now, when my Human Avatar doesn't have any Natures stored in it, is when this becos possible, my influence."
State of Harmony—Blessed Influence!
Blessed Influence—Narkahamy!
"Your…influence?" KalTara expressed the absurdity that every Wean Clansman at the scene intended to express, "That's impossible! A Free Human doesn't emit their own influence. You simply are subjected to the influence of the mineral built into your Human Avatar. There is no way…"
"There is a way," Narkahamy said and stared at the sky, "Do you know how the first Empyrean Boar Aurora appeared? Or rather, through whom was all this possible?"
Imdiately in response, an image appeared in KalTara's mind, "Grandfather? No, it's not in the slightest possible to tap into his power!"
"What do you think forms the Human Avatars of the Royal Guards created to protect your grandmother and grandfather?" Narkahamy chuckled, "Yes, it's the Celestial Boar's Vara."
"And what is the Nature born as a result of the Celestial Boar's Vara?" Narkahamy let out a wide grin, "Gracious Inheritance, indeed."
"Now, I'm not sure you're aware…No, you're definitely aware of it," Narkahamy eyed Kenka Echo, "Since it's readily available in the Quip Clan, for a steep price."
"The Celestial Boar was capable of seeping its influence into the Tangible Natures of its Astral World." Narkahamy announced, "My Vara Accum has simply reached a point where I've been enabled to do the sa. Of course, I'm limited to my Human Avatar."
"However, my State of Harmony is built to capitalise influences." As he uttered, the ten overgrown tusks shattered, revealing Vara Human Avatar forms of Narkahamy, ten in total.
These Vara Human Avatars looked no different from if Narkahamy assud his Human Avatar form. However, the one difference was the fact that the individual in question was on the floor nearby, bereft of a Spirit Container.
Blessed Influence—Narkahamy!
The first Narkahamy Vara Human Avatar tilted its head and took a step forward, awkward in its action. However, the mont it moved, every individual at the Empyrean Colosseum seed to have lost their mind.
This Human Avatar was functioning on its own, without being controlled by the cultivator who built it.
An Autonomous Human Avatar!
'What are they doing?' Even though KalTara wanted to interrupt the process, he couldn't.Partially, fear gripped his heart, preventing him from compromising his situation further, as he couldn't understand how the scene before him could even happen.
However, he was mostly curious too, as soone who had been researching all his ti trying to develop the Wean Clan's build. He wanted to know just what Narkahamy had invented, 'He's probably the only one who managed to tap into a fraction of grandfather's limitless potential.'
At the start, KalTara was curious to find out if the Celestial Boar's Vara was any different from his own. His Vara resulted in a Silver Grade Human Avatar while the Celestial Boar's resulted in a Gold Grade Human Avatar.
Other than the Natures that differed between the two Human Avatars, there didn't seem to be anything special. After all, KalTara was confident that as long as he beca the Empyrean Boar King, his Vara too could create Gold Grade Human Avatars.
He tried a lot of things, including experinting on the Human Avatars of the Royal Guards who had remained loyal to the Wean Clan. Neither he, nor the Royal Guards themselves could figure out anything special from the Celestial Boar's Vara.
But sohow, Narkahamy did. And hence, KalTara was curious, 'I can replicate whatever he did. This will improve our strength by leaps and bounds, even without relying on Astral Chart.'
The Narkahamy Vara Human Avatar slowly walked towards the second of its kind and ca in contact, rging into one.
Their size was the sa as Narkahamy. The two Human Avatars had assud a stack, as if they were Human Avatar forms of Narkahamy.
One, two, three…slowly, all ten Narkahamy Vara Human Avatars beca part of a single stack. Once the stack was ready, it approached the closest figure of Narkahamy and grabbed the latter by the head. And then…it began to eat.
"Your Majesty!" supoh roared in concern and jumped into the battleground. Many Free Humans behaved similarly to him, as Narkahamy was extrely valuable to them.
However, the crowd stopped the mont Narkahamy raised his hand slightly, his words being related by the Quip Clansn, "Just witness it."
"I'm already a dead man."
As he spoke, the Narkahamy Vara Human Avatar began to consu all the bodies of Narkahamy. Soon, it consud the final body, as the latter didn't even utter a single grunt in pain, displaying sheer grit and focus.
Blessed Influence—Narkahamy!
The 10-Life Stage Narkahamy Vara Human Avatar slowly raised its head and opened its mouth, uttering, "C…O…M…E…!"
Roar!
The Narkahamy Aurora rumbled and surged into the Narkahamy Vara Human Avatar, clearing up the skies. The sheer presence that had accumulated in the region condensed within the Human Avatar, in the form of Narkahamy's Blessed Influence. "And now…"
The Narkahamy Vara Human Avatar stared at all the Free Humans, "Inherit it, my citizens. This is your power!"
"Exclusive to the Free Humans!"
Ka-Boom!
At the next mont, a Bolt of Transcendence slamd onto the Narkahamy Vara Human Avatar and vaporised it.
"Argh!"
"Kyah!"
"Ughh!"
Everyone at the Empyrean Colosseum grunted in shock as a wave of presence slamd into them and spread across the region radially. It vanished a fraction of a second later as all of them stared in confusion, unable to understand just what had happened.
"I see," Inala was the first to utter from the stands, against the shock of all nearby Pranic Beasts as he stared at his Vara arms and observed it releasing a faint influence. This influence gathered above the arms to condense into Narkahamy's face.
Once the face appeared, the power of the Tertiary Nature of Vara Accum began to form in the Vara hands, 'It seems our interaction has influenced you trendously.'
'You've followed my thod. And just like ,' Inala chuckled as he stared at the face of Narkahamy, 'You've notarised your power with Sumatra.'
"Your…Majesty…! Boss!" supoh shed tears as subconsciously, he activated Gold Inheritance Art and assud his Human Avatar form. The one difference as compared to before was that Gold Inheritance Art seed to have been modified extensively.
"T-This is?" A Free Human expressed his shock as the contents of Gold Inheritance Art in his mind space seed to have been changed without his knowing. And when he activated the newly created cultivation technique, a faint, cloudy face of Narkahamy appeared above him, one that curiously observed him.
The mont it appeared, the Free Human was in a trance, looking like he was able to converse with the cloud face. As he did, he seed to be inheriting sothing from the face.
"Success!" One Free Human in the crowd exclaid, having been one of the most talented geniuses of the Varahan Empire. He stared at the Nature that had ford in his Spirit Container.
Tertiary Nature—Vara Accum!
"What…is happening, Leukeu?" The Panger, Loya expressed its concern, nervously staring at Inala's Vara hand to ask, "Can you…explain it to ?"
"It's simple," Inala tapped his head proudly, "Narkahamy used a Bolt of Transcendence to complete his build and used it to modify Gold Inheritance Art. The wave of presence we felt was this influence being transmitted across the region."
"All the Free Humans in the Varahan Empire must have felt it. The mont they did, their original Gold Inheritance Art was replaced by Narkahamy's version." Inala explained, "This version is basically a cultivation technique containing all of Narkahamy's accumulation."
"When a Free Human activates it, the cultivation technique would interact with their Prana and condense Narkahamy's presence, which is basically his knowledge cloud. They could then inherit bits and pieces from it to gradually obtain his build." He continued, "At the Spirit Stage, they would obtain the Tertiary Nature of Vara Accum."
"They can reach this point in anywhere from a few minutes to many days or months, depending on the individual's understanding capability." Inala said, "Once they get Vara Accum, they can create Vara Spirit Weapons on their own."
"And once they reach the Body Stage, they can use their Vara to build a Human Avatar, gaining the Primary Nature of Gracious Inheritance." Inala patted Loya in consolation, "Don't be scared yet. There's more to it."
"Through Gracious Inheritance, they can keep inheriting bits and pieces from the Narkahamy Cloud, until eventually, they will also get the Secondary Nature of Voracious Nature." Inala noticed all the Pranic Beasts listening to his explanation and smirked, "Basically, any Free Human who obtains Gold Inheritance Art can obtain Narkahamy's build, essentially turning them…"
He stared at the Wean Clan, "Essentially making them absolutely independent. The citizens of the Varahan Empire are no longer constrained to this place. They can go wherever they want on Sumatra to establish their kingdom. The only resource they need to worry about will be food. They can produce everything else on their own."
"This sparks a new era for Free Humans."
'This is just like Mahira Tusk's Weaponisation but also has a path laid to the peak. After all,' Inala thought and stared at the stands of the Free Humans and observed a sharp spike in presence among them, 'One…two…eight! Holy fuck!'
"Soldiers! Salute to the Varahan Empire's greatest Emperor!" supoh stood up from his seat and roared, performing a military salute. As the Free Humans perford the salute, tears stread out his eyes as he stared at the miniature Narkahamy aurora that had condensed before his face. And then…his three Natures began to harmonise.
State of Harmony—Blessed Influence!
"I see…" KalTara muttered in defeat as he picked up the spiking presence of eight Free Humans who had reached the State of Harmony, understanding the grave reality that this number would only beco more in the future, "From the very beginning, you had dancing atop your palm,"
"Narkahamy!"
