Chapter 653: They Appeared (2/2)
Krune bowed to them.
”Hi there. You can call me Krune.”
Erven didn't want to waste much time, so he went straight into the topic.
”Krune, from which Celestial Organization are you from?”
Krune shook his head after hearing that.
”You should know this already. I can't say anything about me, at least not until the elders allow me to do so. That's why I'm not using anything that could expose my identity.”
Of course, that was all bullshit.
”I see... Probably not even your name is real, right? As for your faces, I doubt that they are the real ones even more.”
Krune shrugged his shoulders as if confirming their words. Still, he didn't deny nor agree with what Erven said.
”Is there anything else you wish to know?”
Wagando immediately nodded his head.
”Yes. What is this Purple Lightning of yours? I've never heard about it before. It has some kind of weird powers that I can't identify at all.”
The power Wagando was talking about is the Tribulation one. It is expected that they don't know about it. After all, this world doesn't have such things as Heavenly Tribulations. Naturally, they can't possibly have felt it before.
”All I can tell you is that this is a new technique that has been in development for a long time in secret. As for how it was created, or which of our organizations is doing it, I can't say. Still, it probably won't be long before it is revealed to everyone. Also, I can at least tell you that my side isn't the only one researching something like this. Anyway, you could say that I'm just a testing subject.”
Krune didn't say much, but there were many hidden meanings in his words that Erven and Wagando understood. Too bad that it was all bullshit as well. Of course, it didn't mean that they believed everything Krune said. Only an idiot would do so.
Erven then nodded his head.
”It's okay. I was already expecting a similar answer from you. By the way, how long will you stay around?”
Krune pondered a bit before saying.
”I'll be returning to the Green Talon Eagle Race's territory with Gavei. After that... well, we'll see.”
After that, the three of them talked for a while longer before finally separating.
Time passed in a flash, and soon, the gathering was over. Krune's group then left with Gavei and his elders.
As for Erven and Wagando, they also left. Of course, they went in different directions.
After flying for a few kilometers, Erven took a token from his Spatial Ring and poured Godly Energy inside. Right after, he said a few things close to it. The token then shined for a few seconds before returning to normal.
Pordol saw that and couldn't help but ask.
”Did you decide to investigate Krune's group?”
Erven nodded.
”Something just doesn't feel right. Krune's story indeed does match what we thought it was, especially that Purple Lightning. It wasn't something that just anyone could create, so a Celestial Organization must be behind this. Still, I can't help but feel that we are missing something of extreme importance.”
Pordol and the others looked at each other before nodding. After that, they continued their journey.
Wagando's group wasn't much different. They also contacted their own background. However, Wagando's Celestial Weapons Organization did not have authority in this place, so it would be a lot more difficult for them to investigate anything. Nonetheless, he did his part in reporting what happened in that secular world competition.
Back on Krune's side, they flew all the way back to the Green Talon Eagle Race's mountain. However, they didn't waste too much time on that. After acquiring the three vials promised to them, Krune's group left straight away.
They kept flying for a few hundreds of kilometers when suddenly, Luvile warned Krune.
”A Divine Sense just scanned our area. It was definitely much stronger than anyone at the 1st Stage of the Transformation Realm.”
Krune nodded.
”Sure enough, they appeared.”
