Chapter 593: Agreement (1/2)

Krune was surprised to hear that name, so he couldn't help but ask.

”Does it have something to do with opening a passage between realms?”

Zule nodded.

”That's what it is exactly. Unfortunately or not, I became a failed product. Well, to be more specific, the guy who created me was already expecting that I would become a failure.”

”Why?”

”That's because the intention was to create something capable of opening a passage to the Lower Realms. However, my creator wanted to establish a safe path that would not require someone to pay the price once you go down. Obviously, such an experiment was bound to fail from the very start. No one can go against the Heavens' Will. Let alone the fact that he wasn't someone from the God Realm, so he lacked the power to start with.”

”Still, he insisted. After all, who could blame him for wishing to be able to go down without any price? Especially when he isn't someone from the Realm above? When the day to try using me for the first time arrived, he was struck not only by the Lower Realm's Heavens but by the Godly Path Realm Heavens as well. Poor guy was almost zapped in half by the two forces. Not too surprisingly, he died straight away. As for me, I was considered to be a failed product, obviously.”

Krune couldn't help but ask.

”Wait! If he got zapped by the Lower Realm's Heavens, does that mean the passage was open?”

Zule nodded.

”Yea, but what's the point? It is 100 times better to force your way down with your own strength than using something like me. As you know, doing such a thing will require a price, possibly being your own life. However, at least you will have a chance of surviving if you do so. I believe you heard in the Lower Realms that several higher realms beings descended in the past after paying a heavy price, right?”

Krune and Iem nodded.

”That's what I'm talking about. The normal way to go down using your own power is risky and can possibly kill you. However, you still have a good chance to survive. But if you use something like me, then you are dead without a doubt. That's why I'm considered a failed product. However, I'm grateful that it failed. I'm not sure about it, but I believe that I only have a sentience today because of that event where my creator died. I was also struck by the Heavens of both sides at that time, after all.”

Luvile could totally understand what Krune was thinking.

”Don't start having weird ideas. Although I can't tell whether Zule is lying or not, there was one point that is definitely true, the backlash from the Heavens. I also believe that a treasure that can create a safe passage to the Lower Realms will force the Heavens to strike the user with its full might. Without a doubt, it is several times worse than using the normal method.”

Krune understood this point, but this wasn't the part that mattered.

”Zule, this place here is hidden from the Heavens. What would happen if you open a passage through here? Would your user only be struck by the Lower Realms when the path connects? After all, the Heavens of the Godly Path Realm can't see you here, right?”

Zule laughed after hearing that.

”Naive! If it was that easy, don't you think others would have tried already? You are looking at it the wrong way. Sure, I'm hidden from Heavens here since this is my own Dimension. However, this Dimension is still inside the Godly Path Realm, just like any other. If you want to open a passage to the lower realms, you must pass through the Godly Path Realm barrier first. Simply put, there was no way to hide such a thing. You would only be killing yourself.”

”First of all, I would need to run the risk of being completely destroyed this time. So even if you wanted to give it a try, I would definitely not do so. Hahaha!”

Krune's head was working at an insane pace. He could feel that he was close to something, but he couldn't exactly tell what. Suddenly, he finally understood what the problem with Zule's words was.

”Ah! That's right! Didn't you say that staying in this Dimensional Realm was the reason why that guy from the God Realm could avoid the Heavens? This is a contradiction! You said that you can't open a passage to the Lower Realms without being detected by the Godly Path Realm Heavens. After all, you need to pass through the Godly Path Realm and its Heavens eyes to do so. But what about the day when the God Realm guy tried to take you away? If he wanted to drag you up to the God Realm, he had to open a passage that passes through the Godly Path Realm, too, just like you said. Shouldn't that guy also suffer the rage of the Godly Path and God Realms together, just like your creator did? After all, he wouldn't be able to hide you from both Heavens once you pass through the barrier between Realms. This is, without a doubt, a contradiction to what you said earlier.”

Iem couldn't help but nod. What Krune said made a lot of sense.

Zule narrowed his eyes while thinking.
