Krune noticed that he felt stronger than usual. The intention of Little Cally was to trap him in the stone pir and siphon his powers into the indigenous people that prayed to it.
It was a sound n, one that would have worked on him like usual. That is...unless he hadn''t experienced something like that before.
After all, once he crossed the Zamuria Continent, Krune came across the shadowy abyss where some mysterious power of prayers seemed to be in effect. One of his clones had been converted into a wish-granting tool just because a group of indigenous people there started to worship it.
The clone had been permanently morphed, losing everything it had of him in the process. It was a frightening experience.
And now that they had established the Mountain Sect while relying on this terrain to act as the walls protecting it, Krune wished to understand them better.
With that, he had sacrificed a lot of clones in the process.
Originating from that sacrifice was an idea that he could use to protect himself in such a situation. Of course, it hadn''t been perfected yet. After all, it wasn''t a simple concept.
However, Little Cally''s intervention gave him the idea to try it out. After all, he now possessed the Soul Needle with its mysterious properties.
Since the indigenous beings here had been trained to worship him from the start due to Little Cally''s machinations, evident from the murals depicting his entire life history, it was apparent that they were dependent on him.
With his body being lodged in the stone pir, it caused their prayers to turn into reality. Though, they were different from the shadowy beings he had seen before. All they did was siphon his abilities to use for themselves.
So, the concept in ce was that he would grant power to those that prayed to him. But...what would happen if he prayed to himself?
On top of that, the one that had created such a scenario was Little Cally, the personification of the Cmity Laws.
And that very same Cmity Laws were a part of his Spiritual Incarnation. Adding one and two, Krune riled up all his abilities, using his Bnce Laws to counter Little Cally while using the Cmity Laws to take control of the area.
After all, it was in control of Little Cally all along. By expressing a changed demeanor, he caught Little Cally off guard for a moment. In the fraction of a second that bought him, all the clones Krune had left in various parts of the God Realm prayed to him simultaneously.
"Silly wisp, get fucked!"
Little Cally had used this line as a prayer to make fun of Krune. In fact, just the word rainbow would trigger him. So, no matter what, he would rather find some other method than utter this sentence.
Unfortunately for Little Cally, Krune had gone up the Immortal Staircase, having witnessed countless scenes, with the scene of Feifei clutching his dying body affecting him the most. So, he had absolutely no ns to die.
With that, the moment he activated all his ns, he caused the stone pir to glitch for a moment that he used to free himself. He then picked it using his Soul Needle, causing it to begin absorbing the essence in it, taking control of it instantly.
Within a second, the stone pir shrunk as all the power in it was absorbed into the Soul Needle. As the essence of the tiny continent flowed into him because of that, Krune thought of a rather daring move, willing the subspace to return.
All thews around him manifested into reality as he actually didn''t suffer a bacsh for a moment. Instead, he was keeping the bacsh at bay by relying upon the continent''s essence that was gushing into him.
A couple of minutester, the subspace appeared in him as Krune opened an entrance, hurling the rock pir into it before waving his hands, using the power from the tiny continent to unleash a violent gale.
The gale turned into a tornado and sucked in all the indigenous people, hurling them into the subspace one after another. Simrly, the winds also picked up all the murals Little Cally had painstakingly created to embarrass him, also putting them all into the subspace.
Within a minute, Krune ced everything that Little Cally had arranged into his subspace, letting out a clone along with thirty Pseudo Wisps before closing the entrance to the subspace.
The subspace then jumped into the clone that condensed the Cloud Whale, wrapping it around all the clones before taking off in a certain direction. It then sent the subspace back to a clone in the Mountain Sect.
Right at this moment, the essence flowing into him vanished as the bacsh of forcefully using spatialws and trying to hinder the process of the ce''s development appeared, snuffing him out of existence.
Death came in an instant. No matter how strong his body was, he didn''t evenst an instant before dying.
As the clone continued to fly, its eyes changed for a moment before ten Pseudo Wisps entered it, elevating its strength as Krune revived.
He then gasped for breath, noticing that his Spiritual Incarnation had greatly destabilized. ''I probably won''t be able to use it for at least another decade.''
"But still..." He grinned, muttering, "Thanks for the treat, Little Cally."
"Damn it. This won''t be thest time." Little Cally grumbled in distaste upon seeing Krune profit immensely from the disaster. Even it was unable to understand what he had obtained, for Krune''s subspace was beyond its vision.
Then again, even if it tried to see through, its ownws that formed his Spiritual Incarnation hindered it. There was a chance it could brute force its way through, but it was averse that Krune would have something that would turn the tides in his favor.
Nevertheless, that''ll allow him toprehend the Cmity Laws at a tremendous pace.. "Hisprehension of the Cmity and Bnce Laws have improved by leaps and bounds whenpared to before he entered the Sub-Realm. Just what the heck did he experience there to have changed this much?"
