I'll Surpass The MC

Chapter 691 Dominating Hidden Eye

Unlike the Guna Caves, Inala ensured the tunnel in the cyclotron wasn't pitch black. The Hidden Eye relied upon sight, and if it couldn't see anything, it would target its surroundings in an effort to make a line of sight.

He had already confirmed multiple instances of it and experimented with the range, power, variations, etc. If not for the Biome Lattice, he wouldn't have enough Prana to make such an inconceivable number of experiments to fully tabulate all of the Hidden Eye's data.

That was in terms of experiments. He also took precautions, even against the Transcendent Eater. Virala said he spoke to Sumatra's Transcendent Eater. Their short conversation was more than enough for Inala to calculate based on the Brimgan Founder's memories that all the Parute Trees were an extension of the Transcendent Eater.

It wasn't just that. He could tabulate the range of information the Transcendent Eater could gain from a Parute Tree, from sight, sound, smell, etc.

As a result, he was currently taking action at a place far beyond the detection range of Sumatra's Transcendent Eater. It wouldn't know what Inala was doing.

Moreover, all the Transcendents could only view what was happening on Sumatra's surface. Since the Ravaged Federation was deep underground, they weren't able to see what was happening there.

If they were to come to know that he planned to consume the Hidden Eye, they would obviously disrupt his plans, since what he was doing would pretty much compromise Sumatra's safety.

Inala didn't wish to destroy Sumatra's safety net. All he intended to do was introduce a new rule in the net, which was in the name of the Royal Zinger.

In this safe spot away from the eyes of all third parties, Inala assumed his Mystic Grade Royal Zinger form, grabbed the cyclotron, and pulled it deeper underwater. As the interior darkened, the Hidden Eye began to feel some discomfort.

However, since it could still make out its target through it, the rules forming it made it maintain the erasing process. The eight hands of the Royal Zinger grabbed onto the cyclotron and began to spin it along its axis, in the same direction of motion as the Hidden Eye.

This way, from an external perspective, the Hidden Eye remained still. As he gradually increased the spinning speed of the cyclotron, Inala made adjustments until the Hidden Eye was positioned right before him.

They were separated only by the walls of the Biome Bombs forming the cyclotron. He felt the Hidden Eye's presence but wasn't able to see it, for he wasn't its target. However, that didn't matter, as his upcoming plan would solve it.

Secondary Nature—Perfect Biome Domination!

This Nature allowed him to dominate everything within his Biome Bomb. And as his hands were in contact with the Biome Bomb in the instant the Hidden Eye flew into its respective segment, he could apply the effects of Perfect Biome Domination upon it.

He didn't actively start the process though, for at the slightest contact, the Hidden Eye would target him and erase him. Instead, all he did was seep the mildest of his Prana into the Hidden Eye through its injuries.

His Prana had the properties of his Primary Nature of Mystic Royalty. So, in terms of influence generated by Prana, the Royal Zinger topped Sumatra. Inala was using Perfect Biome Domination to seep traces of his Prana into the Hidden Eye.

That was enough for the first phase as he watched the Hidden Eye gradually expend its influence, constantly erasing targets that had assumed flight.

Right after it had erased a Silver Biome Bomb in a segment and moved forward, another would pop up at the exact spot. It wasn't flying though and instead fell through the tunnel due to gravity, just like the rest of the Silver Biome Bombs. Only one assumed flight per second.

Inala was the one actively replenishing Silver Biome Bombs while continuing to spin the cyclotron. Actually, he could simply use psychokinesis to spin it. However, that would consume a significant portion of his concentration and Prana. He needed everything in his arsenal to influence the Hidden Eye.

Hence, he used physical might to spin the apparatus. He had eight arms anyway and the necessary motion was something the Royal Zinger was genetically geared to excel at. Moreover, every time his arm touched the cyclotron while trying to spin it, he could use the contact to unleash the power of Perfect Biome Domination on the Hidden Eye right within.

Thirty orbs hovered on his back, latched using strings of Prana. Twenty-nine of them glowed with full strength while the final one was somewhat dimmer. Eight strings of Prana had latched onto Inala from it, constantly supplying him with Prana.

The Bolt of Transcendence was reverting into Prana and funnelling into Inala. This gave him the necessary Prana to perform everything he was doing.

At the Mystic Grade, the Royal Zinger could absorb Prana through eight channels—strings of Prana. Each string absorbed 40 units of Prana every second, equating to a total of 320 units of Prana per second.

Currently, he was actively absorbing 320 units of Prana and was using them all, observing the influence stored within the Hidden Eye was getting used up at a consistent pace. At his current pace, he'll be consuming an orb in 6250 seconds, which came to about 104 minutes.

Basically, in less than two hours, he was consuming a Bolt of Transcendence worth of Prana. As time passed, and a sufficient amount of his Prana had seeped into Hidden Eye, he was able to see it through sight.

Him being able to see it was proof that his influence had accumulated to the necessary level, 'Time to start the next step of the process!'

He began to descend deeper into the ocean, waiting patiently as he could eventually sense the amount of influence within the Hidden Eye, 'A few more hours, and it'll no longer have the strength to resist me.'

He could have bombarded it with the Bolts of Transcendence and achieved closer to his goal by using a minimal number of bolts. But he wanted to make a Major Treasure out of Hidden Eye, which was why he intended to dominate it first.

Once it was fully under his control, he could take his time seamlessly fusing it with a piece of Sumatra Gold, Bolts of Transcendence, and as many bodies of his as necessary for the end product to form.

Fourteen hours later, having consumed seven Bolts of Transcendence, Inala watched in relief as the Hidden Eye had consumed most of its power. Now, the Major Treasure's influence in it was on par with the Royal Zinger's influence. The two sides were in a conflict, equal in power.

The Royal Zinger's influence had the upper hand but played defensive, as the goal wasn't to destroy the Hidden Eye. As its power was running low, Inala began to drop down with the cyclotron, entering the depths until his surroundings became pitch black.

Immediately in response, the Hidden Eye glitched. It felt the entity assuming flight but wasn't able to erase it as it couldn't see. It didn't sense the Silver Biome Bomb assuming flight like cultivators detected living beings through their Prana detection means—prickles on their skin.

Its rules were activated since an existence had attained flight. The condition was similar to the Iron Empyrean Tentacle's power that activated upon the user's death.

As its rules were active, it was in the vicinity of the target it had to erase. However, as it couldn't see, it couldn't do its job, even though the Silver Biome Bomb was hovering right under it.

And as the target for erasing was right next to it, the Hidden Eye remained in place, helpless. At that moment, a Silver Biome Bomb crashed into it from above, prompting its retaliation. As the Silver Biome Bombs were falling through the cyclotron, they naturally slammed into the Hidden Eye that had stopped.

It began to erase the Silver Biome Bombs falling on it. And it played out exactly as Inala had intended. After all, the Hidden Eye was only able to erase one existence at a time. And it could use its power only once per second. Every second, a Silver Biome Bomb crashed into it, prompting it to erase the culprit.

The Silver Biome Bombs had minimal mass, not even scratching the Hidden Eye. But as they were busy getting erased one by one, nothing was stopping Inala from unleashing the full power of Perfect Biome Domination.

As the Hidden Eye was already engaged with a line of targets, its set of rules wouldn't erase him until all the Silver Biome Bombs were erased.

The extent of danger didn't matter to it, as it wasn't a living being. The rules it operated by simply made it erase any existence that tried to damage it, however minimal. And if there were multiple such targets, the Hidden Eye would erase them on a first come first served basis.

Inala's current spot on the list to be erased was at the bottom, gradually moving upward as the Silver Biome Bombs were getting targeted. As long as he deactivates Perfect Biome Domination before it is his turn, he will remain safe.

The Silver Biome Bomb next on the list would be targeted. And right after that, Inala could use Perfect Biome Domination once again, as he would be placed at the bottom of the list once he does. This way, he could repeat the process in safety.

As the Hidden Eye couldn't see, it could only passively target the entities touching it. And since the Silver Biome Bomb right under it was in a state of flight, it remained at the location, not vanishing.

It took an entire day and the Prana from twelve Bolts of Transcendence before Inala had dominated the Hidden Eye. As long as he doesn't deactivate Perfect Biome Domination, the Hidden Eye will remain his.

Upon deactivation, it would recover its original state at an exponential pace, able to resume its function in a matter of minutes. Hence, he would have to complete the process in one go.

Without hesitation, Inala threw a piece of Sumatra Gold and used Perfect Biome Domination to gradually mix it with the Hidden Eye. He then unleashed a Bolt of Transcendence to fuse the two into a singular whole, pouring in two Bolts of Transcendence worth of Royal Zinger Prana.

The Sumatra Gold enhanced, stabilised, and realistically made the Hidden Eye attuned to the Royal Zinger, allowing him to control it with minimal effort. The functions of Hidden Eye ought to remain the exact same as before. The only difference would be that the power now remained in Inala's control.

This would open up a lot of possibilities for Inala, with the greatest gain being able to fly without worries, and the sole existence being able to do it.

In its current state, as Inala made modifications, the Hidden Eye was able to generate its influence upon absorbing the Royal Zinger's Prana. The Major Treasure of Attribute had become a part of Inala's genetics.

And its function was to give an attribute to the Prana. Thanks to it, Inala's Prana was rapidly consumed and assimilated by the Hidden Eye, using which it could generate its influence. Currently, it was under his control.

But the moment he deactivates Perfect Biome Domination, it would revert to its original state of function, but with the added benefits he had given it.

"Now comes the head-breaking part." Inala sighed and began to drop in Grade, returning to his base state as an Expert Silver Grade Royal Zinger. He then began to fuse his bodies into it one after another with the addition of Nectar, taking his time to perfectly align it within the Hidden Eye.

The influence generated by a Major Treasure builds an Influenced Region. Inala was doing the reverse of the process. With the power of the Major Treasure of Attribute, Inala's Prana will accumulate the Hidden Eye's influence, accumulating it to an extreme level until the influence fuses into the piece of Sumatra Gold alongside Nectar and his corpses, elevating it into a Major Treasure.

As the power generated by Attribute was Mystic Royalty, it was possible to accumulate Prana and Lifeforce to increase the grade. Just as he raised his Grade, Inala had to do the same to the stack in the Sumatra Gold, but by bit, accumulating the Royal Zinger genes to the Gold Grade through Nectar.

'Let's hope I have enough Prana until the process ends.' Unlike when he created the Minor Treasure of Prana Stitch, Inala didn't have to perform precise control, since the end product already existed. All he needed to worry about was having enough Prana to complete the process.

'I won't be able to have a wink of sleep until it ends.' He sighed and stared at his orbs which were being consumed at an incredibly slower rate than before. After all, the Bolts of Transcendence were condensed using two million units of Mystic Grade Prana each.

Inala was currently absorbing Silver Grade Prana from it, which would take him forever to consume Prana worth a Bolt of Transcendence.
