1302: Participating in Continental Politics

Participating in Continental Politics

"What the hell happened in your journey?" Zamura massaged his forehead, feeling a headache. "Before you embarked on your journey, even though you weren't the brightest in the naming department, it was still bearable. But now…"1

"I only wished to surpass myself," Krune sported a smug expression as he replied. "And I finally attained enlightenment."

"When I become a God." Krune slowly raised his hands, clenching them into fists as he gazed at the sky. "I wish to become the God of the Law of Names."

"To name any newborn, new places, new techniques, etc., in the God Realm would fall under my authority." Krune finished speaking as he flew towards Zamura, abruptly changing his stance as his Pestlor increased to a length of a kilometer and smacked the other party. 

Suddenly, a greyish humanoid figure appeared behind Zamura, grabbing hold of the Pestlor before punching it away. 

In response, Zamura gazed at Krune, internally sweating. "He was only joking now, right?"

Right?

While Zamura was worrying about it, Krune shrunk the Pestlor, retracting it from the grey giant's hold as he enlarged it again, seeping the laws of Tribulation Lightning into it to cause it to spark. This way, he wished to destroy the giant. 

Tribulation Lightning flowed out from his Spiritual Mark while Godly Energy flowed into it, replenishing its reserves immediately. Thanks to Krune's increase in control due to his comprehension reaching the peak of the God Trial Realm, he coursed the Tribulation Lightning through Pestlor, raising its attack power. 

Suddenly, a green radiance enveloped the grey giant as it punched at the Pestlor, shocking Krune. 

Surprisingly, the other party seemed unaffected by the Tribulation Lightning. "What exactly is this law?"

"The Law of Counter." Zamura smiled. "It allows me to counter any ability to realistic extents. In the entire Four Realms, I'm the only one to possess this law."

"Or rather..." He laughed as he continued, "The total concentration of this law in the Four Realms is within me. You won't find this anywhere. So, in essence, you can say that I'm already the sole wielder of this law."

'That's why he's this terrifyingly strong.' Krune nodded as he continued to slam attacks into the grey giant, frowning when all of his attacks failed to do any damage. 

Zamura was also cultivating his body. Having reached the God Trial Realm, his physique was even stronger than Krune. So, he wasn't actually being damaged by Krune. 

After all, when at the same cultivation base, it could be said that the strength of both was more or less similar. And now that Zamura had higher cultivation, he began to suppress Krune. 

Though, it wasn't as if Zamura was able to defeat him either. 

After all, whenever a powerful attack beyond his defensive capabilities slammed into him, Krune brought out a clone from his subspace and entered it. The subspace then flashed into the body of another clone far away as Krune exited it casually, having dodged the attack. 

Moreover, as he continued to escape in such a manner, his expertise in it increased as veins popped on the forehead of Zamura, causing him to shout, "Have you become the Cockroach God?"

"Maybe I did," Krune replied nonchalantly, dodging an attack in a similar fashion. As it was a friendly match, both weren't using any techniques that would truly harm the other party, like destroying their Spiritual Incarnation. 

That was why this situation came to be. Otherwise, Zamura could channel such an attack through the countless clones around him and bring the fight to a standstill. 

Similarly, Krune could also do the same and kill the equipment spirits, crippling the storage rings that they originated from. 

However, none of them did that. It was because they were just fighting and exploring the various possibilities of their abilities, wanting to gain more experience in them. 

The battle spanned for a month before both sides had become exhausted. Krune retracted all the clones into his subspace and also stored his Pestlor, feeling that his weapon had grown sturdier from this exchange. 

It was created from a material that grew in the presence of Godly Energy, after all. During the fight, not only was Krune supplying it with Godly Energy, but also tempering it with his tribulation lightning.

It was a process of slow refinement during battles, the perfect way to strengthen it until it became the perfect weapon for his use. 

"Phew, that was tiring." Zamura stored in all his ring spirits, stretching himself as he said, "Let's do it again once you reach the God Trial Realm. I had to hold back a lot at present." 

"I can only go all out when you reach my realm," he added.

"It won't take long." Krune smiled in response, returning to the sect as he entered the Mountain Sect Sub-Realm, arriving at his home. 

"Feifei, did you see my fight with Zamura?" He asked upon entry.

"Until the end," Feifei replied, exiting a room as she carried some scrolls in her hand. "I returned in a hurry to think of our next course of action."

"What is it?" Krune asked, watching Feifei open the scroll, revealing the contents within. 

It was a massive battlefield that had formed in-between the three continents of Zamuria, Rumria, and Guria. On the ground were the mortals waging bloody war, constantly gaining power as they felled their opponents. 

The rewards arrived from a mysterious Sub-Realm that was undetectable to the naked eye. 

In the air were a group of immortals, fighting a constant war of godly abilities that slammed into the air. It wasn't bloody here, though, as the number of immortals was paltry compared to the mortals. 

Moreover, their attacks spanned a massive distance. When someone was on the verge of death, their allies jumped forth to defend them, protecting them until they recovered from their injuries. 

Even though almost two centuries spanned past since the appearance of this Sub-Realm, the three continents were still at a stalemate. After all, it wasn't easy to defeat a continent that soon. 

It was because it was a three-way war. Had it been a war between two continents, the victor would have emerged long ago. But with three enemies, no side went all out in fear of being ganged up by the other two sides. 

So, they were in a constant stalemate. But still, they were also growing over time, so without any sense of danger, they just maintained the status quo. 

"And now, they're competing to increase the number of immortals on their side. Eventually, as centuries passed, the Semi-God Realm cultivators would reach the God Trail Realm, etc. Their accumulations would one day increase to tip the favor to their side," Feifei told him. "And, this is where we'll come in."

"We'll align ourselves with one of the continents, participate in this war, and defeat the remaining two continents. And in the meantime, we'll rely upon the rewards from that Sub-Realm to rapidly grow stronger," she said.
