I'll Surpass The MC

Chapter 216 Influence!!!

A Nature was a condensation of power—that could be unleashed through Prana—derived from a living being's most natural of states. This stayed true for all Pranic Beasts.

Therefore, their Primary Nature was a direct representation of their state, perfectly attuned to their mental, physical, and spiritual needs, wants, and capabilities.

As a result, the Primary Nature of every single Pranic Beast part of a race is the same. This was the natural state present in Sumatra Continent. The sole exception were humans who went against the natural order of things.

The Human Race was the sole race with the freedom to obtain any Primary Nature as they pleased, which was a result of the mineral—of their choice—they built their Human Avatars with.

This was a result of the strong will expressed by humans, one unwilling to remain within a collective. In other words, it could also be stated that humans were a disorderly lot having no unity amongst themselves even from a racial standpoint.

When a human obtains a Nature after entering the Body Stage, they'll gradually be influenced by their Primary Nature. Originally, this influence would be minimal at best.

But as they cultivate and grow stronger, allowing more Prana to be present in their bodies, the influence would increase.

Prana was an energy created by the fusion of the three energies of body, mind, and soul. A Nature was the condensation of an entity's natural state that could be expressed through Prana.

Therefore, the greater the quantity of Prana within the body, the stronger the Nature would express itself. This was perfect for a Pranic Beast since such an action would only serve to reinforce itself. After all, its Primary Nature was a condensation of its natural state.

But for a human, this wasn't the case. They were forcefully building a Nature within themselves. Therefore, the Nature was an external influence on their natural state.

However, a Nature ought to be an entity's natural state. Therefore, it would begin influencing the human in order for the Nature to become said human's natural state.

This could be inferred from how Gudora's actions were clear-cut, stable, and solid. Whereas, Hanya had murkiness throughout her actions, always operating with such thoughts. It was due to her manipulation, stemming from her murky thoughts that a conflict was generated between Gudora and Inala.

Therefore, it was evident how a Nature influenced the respective human. Generally, humans only obtained a single Nature. Therefore, the degree of influence was singular.

And only when they activate their Human Avatar would this influence be at its strongest. During the remainder of time, it wouldn't actively affect their thoughts and actions. Moreover, the potency of influence was entirely dependent on the material's Grade.

In terms of intelligence, humans were Silver Grade. Therefore, they were mentally equipped to deal with the influence of a Silver Grade mineral. It was why the majority of the people of power fused with Silver Grade minerals, not because they couldn't discover a Gold Grade mineral, but because they were unable to handle it.

A Gold Grade mineral's influence on the human would be too much, as a result dominating the latter's character, thoughts, and actions. The Brimgan Empire Royalty was one such example.

But they were an Empire's Royalty. Hence, the material they selected after ages of trial and error was the Rutham, a Gold Grade mineral whose influence fell in line with their royal responsibilities.

As a result, even as the Brimgan Empire Royalty gets influenced by the Rutham, their actions would be perfectly in line with the Empire's interests. It had been selected strategically. And in the end, they only had a Primary Nature, so the degree of influence was singular.

The case wasn't the same for Inala though. He had three Natures, two of which were Gold Grade Natures. Therefore, he was influenced in three directions.

But he was a Mammoth Clansman born with the Fragment Disease. Genetically, he was the closest to an Empyrean Tusk. Therefore, Internal Inertial Gravity and Spatial Immune System weren't completely foreign to his natural state of being.

That was only until he lived on an Empyrean Tusk. A Mammoth Clansman's natural state of being was to live on an Empyrean Tusk.

But what was Inala doing the past three years? He lived on the surface, unlike a Mammoth Clansman. Problems cropped up plenty of times as a result.

Asaeya had become prone to emotional outbursts and constantly had to fend off depression. She hadn't been entirely sane, feeling withdrawal symptoms from being away from her Deity.

Only thanks to Inala's life on Earth did he possess the mental strength to resist such things. And he always kept his three Natures deactivated, using them only when necessary.

Moreover, he was only at the initial phase of the Body Stage, barely building a tiny portion of his body. As a result, the influence on him was still minimal.

But things changed once he maintained the biome in his stomach for extended durations.

First of all, the biome was a product of Internal Inertial Gravity. Therefore, for seventy-seven days, he had kept his Secondary Nature active. The fact that he killed many people during this duration, treated them as mere tools for his objective, and remained largely apathetic towards the struggling people of Ellora City spoke volumes about how much he was influenced.

This wasn't how he originally would have behaved. It could even be said that Inala had a hero complex, having often exhibited such tendencies. It was a sharp contrast from his recent actions.

Maintaining the biome was a strenuous activity, requiring large amounts of Prana. Hence, the Empyrean Zingers staying in his biome constantly shattered Prana Bombs—full of Prana—to replenish his Prana.

This meant that the quantity of Prana being generated and consumed in his body was a multitude of times greater than his current Prana levels. And due to the relationship between Prana and Natures, the influence on Inala was exceedingly high.

His Secondary Nature was influencing him. And as Empyrean Zingers remained in his biome, that meant his Tertiary Nature was active all along.

The moment an Empyrean Zinger made contact with Inala, his Tertiary Nature would be activated. Only then would his immune system come into effect. And since a bunch of them remained in his stomach, it meant his Tertiary Nature was constantly in function.

Moreover, as their numbers increased, the influence they had on Inala surpassed his Secondary Nature, turning him calculative.

Through the Empyrean Extraction Prime Skill, Inala could obtain data on the target entities. This knowledge pool would spike the development of his immune system. The better informed the Empyrean Zingers were, the stronger they became, armed with the wealth of knowledge.

Secondly, to create a Ravaged Tribe, Inala would use the Empyrean Zinger King, for only through its Prana was it possible to influence the Spirit Containers of Free Humans.

Once the Ravaged Tribe develops, it will influence the Empyrean Zinger King. As it was part of Inala's Primary and Tertiary Natures, Inala would benefit as the two Natures would grow stronger. The end result would be an evolution of the Empyrean Zingers.

As a result, Inala was completely influenced by his Natures, with the Tertiary Nature's influence being the strongest, forcing him to obtain everything necessary for the completion of his Ravaged Tribe. It was powerful enough to overwrite his original objective, which was reuniting with baby Gannala as soon as possible.

That was the cause behind his recent choice of actions, statements, and method usage.
