Chapter 978: A Bunch of Things Occur (2/2)

It was like an iron being repeatedly hammered to forge a stronger weapon. Over time, they had become so strong that even a king monster was unable to damage it. Over time, Krune began to call it the Tongue Fish, as it was literally that.

Also, since they had been consuming nothing but the blood of the Motor Fishes in the form of bone tree fruits, over time, the tamed nature of the Motor Fishes kicked in, causing them to submit to Krune. Because of it, the attacks on the cages were reduced.

Krune then made an incision on a Motor Fish King and tied it up to a bone tree that had been exclusively grown only using the blood of a Motor Fish King. Once it died, Krune allowed the bone tree to grow.

It was placed in a rock pillar exclusive to it, so it could grow without any hindrance. Almost three months later, it bore a colossal fruit that was as big as a Motor Fish King. Krune harvested it and fed it to the oldest Motor Fish King, having made enough preparations by even feeding it a Water Essence a day before.

So, even though it faced a lot of problems, it managed to swallow the fruit whole in the end. Ten days later, it became a Motor Fish Emperor. At this point, even Krune couldn't believe his eyes, upgrading the Motor Fish to such an extent when it seemed a Mutated status was their racial limit.

He then continued to feed it daily while using its blood to water new bone trees, using the produced fruits to feed the six Tongue Fish Kings. Krune was obtaining Godly Points from both the Mutated Great Dippers and the Mutated Motor Fishes.

At this point, the amount he obtained from the Motor Fishes was thrice the amount he was getting from the Great Dipper. It was because when he released some Motor Fish Kings into the pool with the Motor Fish Emperor, they had mated furiously, birthing a lot of Motor Fishes that seemed to be a new species.

And, when these Motor Fishes reached adulthood, they reached the Mutated status naturally. Once that happened, Krune killed most of the old Mutated Motor Fishes and regular Motor Fishes. This was to prevent polluting the new, improved bloodline.

He didn't kill any after that, allowing them to breed for a couple more years in the meantime resulting in three Motor Fish Emperors, 12 Motor Fish Kings, and around 20 Mutated Motor Fishes.

From this point onward, any Motor Fish that was birthed would reach Mutated status naturally upon reaching adulthood. And the best thing of them all: they were tamed by him.

Eight years since he arrived on the Secondary Landmass, Krune gazed up, noticing the ocean shining with Neon Radiance as he looked at the message displayed on his tablet.

[The Second Wave begins.]

As he was within the Secondary Landmass, Krune was unaffected by it, gazing up at the light spectacle with the Seamstress and Solare, chatting freely about how they struggled with the First Wave.

Soon, they made a move, using their fishing nets to capture more than thirty Neon Radiance Fishes. As one of their core passive abilities, they wouldn't say no to obtaining an upgraded version of the same.

”Do you wish to obtain Heat Radiance?” the Seamstress asked him, ”It might turn out to be stronger than what I have right now.”

”I'll pass.” Krune laughed. ”I am focusing on just Neon Radiance. The stronger I can obtain it, the better. Heat Radiance would negate my Frozen Blood.”

”Alright,” the Seamstress said before grabbing hold of Solare. She then asked, ”Which one do you like, Heat Radiance or Neon Radiance?”

Solare innocently looked at the faces of two, feeling formless pressure from the Seamstress before he spoke, ”H-Heat Radiance.”

”Great! That's my boy!” She laughed, carrying him with her as they went about making merry.

Krune laughed at the sight, for a moment tranced by the atmosphere when he shook his head. ”Focus!”

Setting aside 10 Neon Radiance fishes for Solare, Krune and the Seamstress took ten each. He killed one of them first, feeding the body parts forcefully to the remaining nine, turning them all into Neon Radiance Kings, for a moment cursing his rash actions as he understood just why they were feared by the Neon Radiance fishes.

They were called the Neon Radiance King, and hence, possessed as much strength as a Monster Gecko King. Even though he had been training for so long, Krune wasn't able to handle such a large group.

He was able to kill a Monster Gecko King one on one, albeit suffering life-threatening injuries. Though, subduing them all was incredibly hard. Upon seeing them thrash around without a care in the world if they would break the rock pillar forming their cage, Krune felt a headache.
