"That's father's form," The humanoid-serpent frowned, taking a stance of caution on watching the flaming giant co closer. Unlike the form of Rhachis Ancestor Parasite, the form of Rhachis Ancestor Dawn was slow and steady, treading with calm.
But, this in fact increased the pressure Laila faced. After all, any delay ant the arrival of more giants that she would have to face at a ti. And, her form was confined to a spot, unable to move due to the limited length of the thread that connected her form to reality. So, she didn't have the option to advance or retreat to gain favourable conditions.
The mont it was severed ant all her plans would beco useless. For, she would be trapped in the ntal Realm for all eternity until she was slowly assimilated by it. The giants before her were all like that.
A century's worth of planning and accumulation. When Gajara Rahi broke through from Tier 5 to Tier 6, she absorbed so special experience fragnts during her stay in the ntal Realm. When she returned to reality, she realised that the special experience fragnts conford to the being that brought her to this world, the one Jyorta called the creepy-haired man and the one she called the tubed-freak.
Those experience fragnts helped her a lot. Even though she had already co to know the worth of the ntal Realm, the experience fragnts of peak beings further changed her opinion of it. It was then she created a plan to absorb the experience fragnts of all beings of importance.
She made nurous subsouls breakthrough and sever their connections to reality while in the ntal Realm. In their souls, she placed mories thrice their life experiences, placing a ntal cue in them that ford their very existence.
It was like their very lives were lived to attain only one thing. When they severed their connections to reality while in the ntal Realm, they were guided by the ntal cue and began searching for the experience fragnts of the Ancestors.
Any being, when they arrive in the ntal Realm would battle the Cogent Phrenics. A result of the clash would allow both parties to gain or lose experience fragnts. And, a significant portion of those experience fragnts would splash forth from the attacks, travelling without pause until they hit another Cogent Phrenics.
Any Ancestor would have had arrived five tis at the ntal Realm, losing a lot of their experience fragntsgenerated from all points of their lifein their battles. Gajara Rahi planned to collect them all. It was to support her in the grand sche she had been concocting all along.
Each subsoul she sent to the ntal Realm had a target, either an Ancestor or a being of significant value. They would continue to search for the related experience fragnts even as their egos would be gradually eroded by the ntal Realm and they fully turn into a Cogent Phrenics.
Since the essence conforming to their experience fragnts, their existence, was for a single fact, even as Cogent Phrenics, they would continue to search and absorb the related experience fragnts.
But, the splashed experience fragnts of the Ancestors would have been absorbed by the Cogent Phrenics who were in the way. Moreover, all Cogent Phrenics desired higher quality experience fragnts. So, the experience fragnts of the Ancestors would have been with strong Cogent Phrenics.
The Cogent Phrenics created by Gajara Rahi slowly battled their way to the top in the ntal Realm, collecting the experience fragnts of their desired targets. They would roam in search of them, stay still to allow the recovery of their expended Will, engage in a battle the mont they find one, rest, and recover after one. And, once they digest the experience fragnt, they would move on to find another.
They rinse and repeated the sa process for a century, also absorbing similar experience fragnts of what they soughteven if the source wasn't from the Ancestorsand built up their strength. The quality of their experience fragnts was at the peak of Tier 5.
After all, one beca an Ancestor only after they left the ntal Realm. So, there weren't any experience fragnts in the ntal Realm of the Tier 6 level. Even then, their forms were trendously powerful, giving Laila's form trouble, even if a portion of her form was composed of Tier 6 experience fragnts.
The flaming giant arrived, facing its palm forward, making a motion of pulling. Imdiately, the Will within an area on the humanoid-serpent destabilised, the experience fragnts from the part spilling out.
The flaming giant pulled them towards it, intending to absorb it when the humanoid-serpent pulled them back. The formless force it exerted trumped the flaming giant's, recovering the experience fragnts it had lost.
But, just this action alone showed the danger the flaming giant possessed. The humanoid-serpent swerved its head, noticing another giant begin to fly towards it. This giant was like a yarn, composed of nurous threads that made up its structure.
The mont it arrived, it threw out thousands of threads, wrapping them around the mountain, constricting the humanoid-serpent. It swiftly made use of the humanoid-serpent's inability to dodge, primarily aiming at its tail area.
A hundred heads from its shoulder shot forth and snapped the threads, before ganging up on the yarn, biting through its experience fragnts. Without any hesitation, the humanoid-serpent unleashed more than ten thousand heads to attack the yarn while its front condensed a pair of blades.
The blades flashed once, severing the hip of the flaming giant. But, unlike the other forms, the flaming giant seed to have a fluid form. So, all its bladed attacks caused was the spillage of so experience fragnts, a scarce amount considering its massive size and the number of experience fragnts it had amassed in total.
"Hah," The humanoid-serpent shouted, creating a massive shield to defend against another giant. The force behind the attack was minimal, but it caused the shield to slam into its face. The humanoid-serpent grunted, thinking, 'Dawn, Web, and now Crash.'
It then swerved its head, its mood plumting as it noticed a humanoid giant approach slowly. It was fully magenta; its form was the most condensed of all the forms the humanoid-serpent had witnessed. It was to the extent it thought the opponent was composed of Tier 6 experience fragnts.
'No, that is not possible. I see, its essence is fully on the aspect of defence. So, that essence also condensed the Will and created such a sturdy result. Once Marble's form too joins the battle, my efficacy would drop to the minimum, and there is a good chance I might expend my Will and be defeated.'
"Hah!" The humanoid-serpent shouted, increasing the girth of its body to twice the amount, the cord connecting it to reality swelled to a hundred tis its original size, gushing in experience fragnts without limit.
The humanoid-serpent beca even more imposing, its head hitting the barrier of the ntal Realm, almost poking a hole through it. The ntal Realm scread in protest, unable to bear the intensity of the battle.
Energy gushed into the region, trying to reinforce it, preventing the ntal Realm from collapsing. That was why Laila had chosen this spot to make a breakthrough. The stability and toughness of the ntal Realm depended on the beings that had made a breakthrough there.
During the dark ages, the ntal Realm was just an illusory manifestation that could exist temporarily during a breakthrough. When Rhachis Ancestor Parasite broke through to Tier 6, the place it made a breakthrough had stabilised, using the Will, experience fragnts, and essence it had generated to create a stable fragnt of the ntal Realm.
When other beings, Tier 1 to Tier 5 broke through in the region, the ntal Realm fragnt expanded. When many Ancestors began to breakthrough, nurous ntal Realm fragnts were created all over the world.
As the number of breakthroughs increased, it further stabilised their respective regions, also increasing its area. Soon, the fragnts expanded until connecting with one another, eventually creating the ntal Realm.
But, even though it had already been created, the stability of the ntal Realm varied from place to place. The greater the breakthroughs and the higher the Tier of breakthrough, the more the ntal Realm developed in the region.
So, in response to that, the ntal Realm around Dawn City was one of the sturdiest, second only to the place where Rhachis Ancestor Parasite lived. Dawn City had birthed four Ancestors; moreover, Gajara Rahi had also broken through to Tier 6 in the sa place. So, it made the optimal location for her battle.
Only in such a sturdy place would the ntal Realm endure their grand battle.
The humanoid-serpent condensed a massive hamr and slamd it into the flaming giant, causing a wave of experience fragnts to spill out. But, before it could travel far, the flaming giant absorbed them back into its body.
The formless force the humanoid-serpent generated only managed to pull away a small fraction of the spilled experience fragnts.
The yarn could no longer attack it, busy defending itself from the nurous heads.
'Father's form is the most troubleso after all.' The humanoid-serpent expanded in size as experience fragnts gushed into its form, bulking it up. A head among the head cluster on its shoulder absorbed a massive volu of experience fragnts, exiting like a fission being, taking the form of a four-legged beast.
It possessed ten tails, the ends of which possessed suction-pod-like mouths, while on its back was a massive chakram. Its entire body was aerodynamically constructed in accordance with the chakram and the ten tails. It reached the flaming giant's knee in height, not a threat size-wise.
The humanoid-serpent grunted, creating two more of such beings, ordering them to gang up on the flaming giant while it defended against another attack from Crash's form. The mont it defended, its guard slamd into its body, toppling its balance.
Crash's formshaped into a perfect sphere with a pair of whiskersappeared, swishing around as it attacked the humanoid-serpent.
