Chapter 912: Four Layers (2/2)

He frowned after reading the text, realizing how the concept used was similar to the four realms. As the lowermost Layer, it seemed to follow the concept of the mortal realm, lacking any energy. There were many differences, but the general concept seemed to have been derived from the four realms.

”That means Layer Three will be even more troublesome. But I still have yet to figure out a way to accumulate Godly Points,” Krune muttered as he punched the tablet once, causing it to show the stats of the region.

[Region: Epic Hell]

[Total Godly Points: 96 Godly Points]

[Highest Godly Point: 52 Godly Points]

[Rankings: …]

Upon seeing the total Godly Points and the score of the three people displayed, Krune frowned as he said, ”Only three people have managed to obtain any Godly Points. I never knew it was this difficult.”

”I need to find a method to obtain them, quickly at that,” Krune muttered as he focused on his subspace, causing one of the Pseudo-Wisps to release some of the Godly Energy stored inside it. Immediately, using the released energy, a Pseudo-Wisp was birthed.

It was only at the Godly Fusion Realm. The Pseudo-Wisp turned into the Pestlor's weapon spirit form, exiting the Escapist through its mouth before landing on the top of Pestlor's handle. It was then positioned right next to the Escapist's claws.

Immediately, it began to siphon godly energy from the Pestlor. Of course, this only worked because the Pestlor's weapon spirit was working in tandem. The weapon spirit released the energy so that it could absorb it.

Surprisingly, it only did this at the place where the Pseudo-Wisp was standing, allowing it to absorb the entirety of the remaining Godly Energy. As the weapon spirit's cultivation base was too low before, it was unable to do it until now. That was why Krune took action the moment it was able to do this.

The weapon spirit then siphoned energy from the Pestlor at a faster rate, half for itself to cultivate and the other half to release into the open for the Pseudo-Wisp to absorb. This way, the rate at which the Pestlor shrunk increased.

At first, he planned to make the weapon spirit cultivate using all the Godly Energy. But now that he was pressed for time, Krune took matters into his own hands. Soon, he created 20 more Pseudo-Wisps, making them all siphon energy from the Pestlor.

Within 10 days, the Pestlor had returned to its original size. Krune had reached the limit to the number of Pseudo-Wisps he could create. And, all of the new ones he created had reached the First Stage of the God Foundation Realm, energy quality-wise.

It was because the Godly Energy they had stolen from the rock giant was tremendous. Once they were ready, all the Pseudo-Wisps retreated into the subspace as Krune was the only one left in the Escapist's stomach.

The Escapist began to fly immediately. Krune frowned, feeling that it was indeed a bit of a waste that he was always hiding within its stomach. This did cause it to fly cautiously in fear its stomach muscles might crush him into mush.

So, after a moment of thought, he sent the subspace to reside in the Escapist's body, opening a portal for him to head inside. Now, there was enough space for him to remain seated inside. It was thanks to his recent comprehension session.

That, too, was a reason he spent so much time. In the end, he wasn't wasting time. Surrounding Krune were the Pseudo-Wisps in their natural form. At present, they had shrunk their ethereal bodies to the limit, only existing as Wisp Cores.

The inside of the subspace was fairly illuminated. Whenever he so wished, there would be a breeze, warmth, etc. After all, Krune had a fairly deep degree of comprehension concerning the basic elemental laws.

With that, the inside of the subspace had an environment suitable to live within. At present, Krune held the Pestlor in his hand and smiled. The entrance to the subspace disappeared as there was no longer anything within the Escapist's stomach.

Thanks to their shared thoughts, it was as if Krune was flying out. Without anything to worry about for now, the Escapist flapped its wings and sped through the air, accelerating to its natural limit immediately. As it flashed around, it had encountered a couple of cultivators.

They seemed to be seated atop a floating island, currently exhausted. Just a glance at their faces showed they were even more clueless than Krune. With that, the Escapist didn't waste any time, flying past them as it sped forth.

Krune intended to move through the entirety of the region, Epic Hell. In this way, he might find clues as to how to obtain Godly Points. Otherwise, he would get an idea that he could use in the next Layer.

Once he could understand the concept at play in the Sub-Realm, he would be able to prepare accordingly. All along, Krune kept watching on the tablet. Once he determined that it functioned based on the laws already established in the Sub-Realm and wasn't something actively monitored by the mountainous demon beast, Krune dared to summon the tablet while within the subspace.

The Escapist flew for two more days, finally noticing something as it paused in shock. Far away in its eyes was a crumbling floating island as something from within was drilled out in the process.
