Chapter 912: Four Layers (1/2)

The Pestlor continued to balloon in size as the weapon spirit became unable to hold in all the Godly Energy it had absorbed. After traveling for 20 kilometers, Krune noticed a floating island, prompting him to approach it immediately as he dropped the Pestlor on it.

The Pestlor had already grown to a length of 20 meters now. In any case, the weapon spirit was unable to endure any longer, releasing all the energy back into the Pestlor, causing its size to reach a kilometer in length.

Everything was because of the tremendous quantity of Godly Energy it had stolen from the rock giant. Nevertheless, thanks to its property, the Pestlor didn't emit any Godly Energy. In other words, the soil in the floating island didn't react.

As it hadn't come into contact with Godly Energy before, it was completely dead. With that, there was no reaction as the Pestlor's size surpassed the length of the floating island.

Most of the floating islands were small, at most spanning a kilometer in diameter. With that, the current Pestlor was an oddity, surpassing the floating island's size and weighing it down. The floating island faintly rumbled from time to time, unable to remain afloat any longer as the Pestlor continued to grow bigger.

After all, inside it was Godly Energy equivalent to three Pseudo-Wisps the clone had used before. It was how the attack had become that destructive. But now, the reason it was still growing in size was thanks to the fact it had absorbed a lot of Godly Energy from the rock giant.

When it was smashed into pieces, the rock giant had emitted a significant amount of Godly Energy in the process. If nothing unexpected happened, it would have reabsorbed the Godly Energy and recovered to its peak condition, albeit a tad smaller than before.

But before that happened, both the Pestlor and the clone swooped in and stole most of the emitted Godly Energy. Since they escaped immediately after, that resulted in the rock giant lacking enough Godly Energy to become as big as before.

Hidden away from its line of sight, Krune set up base on a larger floating island after crossing a few smaller islands. The Pestlor was then dropped vertically.

At present, its mortar portion was a little lodged into the ground, making it stand up vertically. Thanks to its design, it wouldn't fall that easily.

The Escapist perched on its top. This was because it was still emitting a faint flux of Godly Energy every time it moved. If it landed on the ground, the soil there would soon birth the rock figures and cause it trouble.

And so, instead of that, remaining atop the Pestlor was better. Anything it emitted, the Pestlor would absorb it automatically.

For a moment, Krune thought of using his Land Incarnation atop the Pestlor and consume the energy in it to create some Pseudo-Wisps. That way, he can reduce the burden faced by the weapon spirit and also replenish his Pseudo-Wisp count.

But after noticing how this might damage the Pestlor, he refrained from doing so. With that, all he could do was to wait patiently. Krune imparted a suitable cultivation technique to the weapon spirit, one haphazardly derived from his Myriad Energies Technique.

As it wasn't a Wisp, it couldn't use the technique as is. Without much choice, Krune modified some parts accordingly to suit its physique. Since the Pestlor was a part of his body, the connection he shared with its weapon spirit was deep.

Thanks to this, he could derive a cultivation technique easily. It was also because he was someone that had lived past two centuries. So, doing something like this was simple. Besides, all he did was a crude modification.

He planned to tweak it later. At present, Krune wished to make the weapon spirit cultivate as soon as possible and increase its cultivation base. That way, it could absorb all the excess energy in the Pestlor. On top of that, as its cultivation increased, he didn't have to support it by expending his Godly Energy.

Its own Godly Energy influx would be fast enough to expand and contract the Pestlor. That would save him a lot of hassle in future battles. Without any delay, the weapon spirit began to cultivate by absorbing the energy in the Pestlor.

As it was only at the First Stage of the Godly Fusion Realm, it breezed through the cultivation stages. A month later, it was already in the Second Stage God Foundation Realm.

Krune wasn't wasting time either.

He and Little Krune were immersed in comprehending the laws of his subspace, increasing its volume little by little. Considering his current comprehension speed, he was able to increase its volume by a cubic meter every month.

It was pretty fast, considering how the increase in volume meant he was creating a world inside himself, albeit at a slow pace. After all, what he was making wasn't some equipment but a living, breathing world. When thinking with that line of thought, the speed was definitely shocking. One must not mistake it for Krune's Universe Foundation. It wasn't real, and other than himself, there weren't living beings there, nor would there be any.

He then took out the tablet upon sensing something, noticing a row of words flash on it automatically. This time, he was surprised by the content.

”What the…?” Krune was shocked, muttering, ”There are four layers?”
