I'll Surpass The MC

"You can do something like that?" Wittral felt like it was hard to believe.

"Yeah," Saying so, Maroppa activated her Secondary Nature of Grey Kinesis Deity and summoned her Spirit Weapon. She didn't go through with the transformation though, for she would pierce through the ceiling if she were to do so.

Moreover, the emission of Prana would be strong enough that Farloon Brimgan would rush over at a moment's notice. It would be troublesome when that happens, hence she stuck to the Spirit Weapon alone.

As the Spirit Weapon moved above the floor, the portion of the floor vertically below it turned into grey sand, following which the column between the floor and the Spirit Weapon turned jet-black, resembling the night sky, one without any sounds.

As the Spirit Weapon moved, the column of night mirrored it. The grey sand on the floor recovered in a matter of seconds, reverting to its original material texture. Maroppa demonstrated through her Spirit Weapon, saying, "I created my Secondary Nature by fusing a Nature Weapon with the Nature of Kinesis Deity with a bit of power from my Primary Nature."

"Grey Kinesis Deity," She introduced her power, "This can influence my Pranic Beast form to become a humanoid form which is stronger and allows me to harness greater physical might."

She stared at Wittral, "I'm capable of doing the same to you, since you already have a Nature Weapon with Kinesis Deity."

She pointed at his heart, "At present, you have Royalty as your Secondary Nature, right?"

Seeing Wittral nod, she continued, "Even though it's a powerful Nature, it was intended for Amita. Only she can make full use of it. In your hands, it's useless, since you won't be able to use Life Bombs to birth Zingers."

"Right, I cannot do that." Wittral nodded, "I'm only able to use them for Prana collection."

"It's useless, and worst of all, the influence it generates will only hinder your growth." Maroppa said, "Your potential as the strongest Empyrean Snapper will diminish over time as you use it. Instead, I'll fuse it with Kinesis Deity and allow your cultivation technique to influence it. This way, the product will be a power that's in line with something an Empyrean Snapper can use without problems."

"It sounds great on paper, but what about its side effects?" Wittral analysed, "It's through Royalty that I can live as a woman now. But I'm a dead man in the Brimgan Empire. If I were to appear now, all our plans would go to shit. If I were to lose Royalty, I wouldn't be able to remain in hiding."

"Then, why don't you remain as a woman?" Maroppa said as a matter of fact, "I'll fuse it while maintaining you as a woman. And if you want to change back to a man, wait until Amita reaches the 2-Life Stage. I'll be able to use her extra body as fuel to influence your Secondary Nature and change you to your male form."

"You can do that?" Wittral asked in surprise.

"Who do you think you're talking to? I created Royalty." Maroppa said smugly, "And that was when I was at the Silver Grade. I'm a Gold Grade Pranic Beast now. It's as easy as breathing for me."

"Then, let's start," Wittral said without hesitation.

"Wait, you don't need me convincing you further?" Maroppa stared at him in surprise.

"It seems you haven't revealed your identity to Amita yet." Wittral said, smiling upon seeing Maroppa's eyes widen in response, "I'm not blindly trusting you. Instead, I've made my judgement by observing your actions until now. You want to support Amita but not at the cost of revealing your identity."

"After all, if she ever gets captured by Loot in the future, your identity remains safe." Wittral said as his eyes turned cold, "And you won't have any hesitation in killing me to protect yourself."

"You're one scary guy. I underestimated you." Maroppa sighed, "You've figured out my thoughts."

"Right, so go ahead." Wittral stretched out his hand, "As long as I'm alive, Amita will never get captured. Instead, I'll hunt and kill Loot."

He then pointed at the Nature Weapon in Maroppa's possession, "Isn't that why you brought that Nature Weapon? You want me to become strong enough to face Loot and kill him. Or if I manage to overpower him, I can capture him too."

"How did you…?" Maroppa's expression became stunned in response for multiple reasons, 'I didn't even say anything about this Nature Weapon, but he already figured out that it contains the Nature of a Clumped Finger. And secondly, what a monster Inala is.'

'His understanding of Wittral is impeccable. He made me speak in such a way that instead of me trying my best to convince him, Wittral himself would come to an understanding of his own after deducing the situation.' Maroppa tried her best to control her trembling fingers, 'Wittral himself is a monster. Having him as an enemy is terrifying. But Inala is a monster even among monsters for controlling a monster like Wittral as if it's child's play.'

'Terrifying! Too terrifying!' Maroppa controlled her expression and let out a mild sigh in praise, "Yes, this Nature Weapon contains the power of a Clumped Finger. How did you know?"

"I've faced enough of them to recognise one even as a Nature Weapon. It's a very familiar presence." Wittral smirked, "And its power is extremely compatible with my Subtle Terrain Domination. Just the fact that you've brought this Nature Weapon here means you've poured a lot of thought into this."

'So that's why she made a move after so long. She was collecting information about everything. I feel like shit knowing that my secrets are being leaked like this, but at least, I'll become a lot stronger than before.' Wittral thought, preparing himself mentally, 'And through Maroppa's power, my Natures will become attuned to my identity as an Empyrean Snapper. It is annoying to spend a lot of time suppressing the influences of my Secondary and Tertiary Natures daily.'

He wasn't in the slightest concerned about being stuck as a female. He could judge that it was possible to revert into a male as Maroppa explained. Royalty was simply getting fused into Kinesis Deity. So, as long as its essence doesn't get erased, Wittral would be able to become a man in the future.

'Once Amita gets the Attribute, we'll no longer have any need to stay here. We can head to another Empire, away from all this chaos.' He thought. After getting the Attribute, they'd have to flee anyway. Wittral will then get help from Maroppa to become a man and merrily flee with Amita.

"Alright, if you're prepared, activate your Secondary Nature." Maroppa said and placed her hand over Wittral's chest, beginning to seep her Prana into his Spirit Container to lock onto the part holding his Secondary Nature, "Now, activate your Tertiary Nature."

Once she locked onto that too, Maroppa urged, "Activate your cultivation technique now."

Once Wittral activated Mystic Mist Art, Maroppa activated her Prime Skill of Nature Weapon Assimilation, watching in patience as the Nature Weapon of Kinesis Deity fused into Wittral's Secondary Nature of Royalty and became influenced by Mystic Mist Art.

Maroppa downed an Elixir to generate enough Prana and kept up with the process, completing it in less than thirty minutes. As the process was completed, Wittral observed that he was no longer able to assume his male form, now stuck as a female with the identity of Dhya. His Tertiary Nature slot was now empty as he digested the volume of information that poured into his mind with the creation of his new power.

Secondary Nature—Empyrean Mist Deity!

"This is…strong!" Wittral exclaimed in shock as he stared at Maroppa in terror, intimidated by himself, "Is something like this possible? I'm not dreaming, right?"

"Want me to punch you in the face as confirmation?" Maroppa asked, happy to oblige as she clenched her hand into a fist and unleashed a straight right, clicking her tongue upon seeing Wittral dodge. "You were the one who wanted a reality check."

"This is real, I was just messing around." Wittral laughed, confident. After all, Empyrean Mist Deity was a Gold Grade Nature inferior only to Subtle Terrain Domination. It was that strong and allowed him to remain in a battle for extended periods without getting tired. "Now, onto the final one."

"Man, you're greedy." Maroppa sighed as she grabbed the Nature Weapon with the Nature of a Clumped Finger and activated her Prime Skill of Nature Weapon Assimilation, pouring in the influence of Mystic Mist Art and Subtle Terrain Domination.

This way, the end result would be a Nature that aligned with an Empyrean Snapper, ensuring the influence it generated was beneficial for his growth. And then, she felt it, a voracious level of power become birthed in Wittral as his Tertiary Nature took effect, 'You…you've created an absolute monster, Inala!'

'Fucking madman! Just how far into the future you've been planning for?' She screamed mentally in a fluster upon seeing Wittral's three Natures form a perfect synergy, as if he was an Empyrean Snapper born with those three Natures.

"From today onwards," She proclaimed with a tone of respect, "Other than the Boar King, no one on Sumatra is your opponent."

Tertiary Nature—Subtle Imprison!
