Chapter 979: Entering the Final Phase (1/2)

”Now, how do I deal with this mess?” Krune frowned, feeling a headache as the Neon Radiance King turned out to be stronger than he had thought. Though surprisingly, he didn't mind them thrashing about. After all, each Neon Radiance King had been locked in a separate cage of its own.

And these cages were made to withstand the attacks of a monster king long enough while the ocean water would heal their damage. Krune glanced around, noticing numerous pipes scattered throughout. They were the rope pipes transporting water to every rock pillar.

The farther they went from the wall, the greater the cluster of water pipes that formed at the topmost cave since it was where the water was being drawn from. Then again, the Seamstress did a fairly great job at preventing everything from being too clustered.

She replaced some of the pipes by increasing their diameter, allowing them to transport a greater flow of water from the water tank. This way, their work was done quickly.

Once the tanks for the nine Neon Radiance Kings were filled, Krune sat near the tank of one of them, closing his eyes in thought, even going to the extent of shielding his eyes with his hands to prevent going blind. The Neon Radiance King was unleashing insanely strong beams of light without rest.

The moment it heard a sound, it would unleash light in that direction. This was just the light it emitted. Its physical prowess was on the same level as a Monster Gecko King. Krune didn't bother with them for the time being, feeding them bone tree fruits daily.

He first fed them the normal bone tree fruits while going about with his other tasks.

The Motor Fishes were increasing in numbers pretty well. So, in order to cause a population boom, he only created more pools for them to live within, watching with giddiness every time their population boomed.

As for the Great Dipper, upon noticing how he was struggling to manage them, he gave them all to the Seamstress, who was more than happy to accept them all. As she was focusing on them, the ones he had grown were tremendously helpful for her.

After hugging him once in happiness, she rushed forth, leaping in joy from time to time as all the Mutated Great Dipper Pupa and Adults he had created numbered around thirty by now. On top of that, it seemed that his methods were greatly different from hers, so the Mutated versions turned out slightly different.

To the Seamstress, this only meant she had a higher chance of succeeding. After she left, Krune increased the size of his Motor Fish farm, also using all the pools that the Great Dipper Pupae were using before.

With that, his work was halved while his efforts were bound to fruition faster. This was why he gave all the Great Dipper Pupae and Adults to the Seamstress. On the scale of efficiency, he had achieved the highest with the Motor Fishes.

When the group of Mutated Motor Fishes in a pool had reached the limit, he killed them all. After that, he scooped the pool water that was filled with their blood and watered all the bone trees, feeding the produced bone tree fruits to the other growing Motor Fishes.

Once the pool was empty, he cleaned it and filled it with the ocean water, bringing two Mutated Motor Fishes into it. He then left them to their devices to mate eventually, ensuring he fed them with a lot of bone tree fruits daily so that their excess pent-up energy would cause them to mate more.

When he checked the rankings, he noticed that some of the top rankers had already left Layer 3. Not only that, but it seemed they already managed to obtain an active ability, shocking Krune. ”I guess there are strong individuals everywhere.”

As ten million people were brought into the layer every month, geniuses from numerous continents appeared one after another, swiftly going up the rankings. Most of them struggled for the first couple of years, accumulating strength. After that, they began to hunt in the Primary Landmasses, reaping a profit of 10 Godly Points every year.

There were those that had already entered quite a few Secondary Landmasses, managing to obtain at least 20-30 Godly Points each time. Because of this, the rankings continued to change constantly as new people entered the top hundred while the old ones headed for Layer 2 once they thought they had obtained enough benefits from the place.

Krune was checking the rankings intensely for the first two years during his stay in the Secondary Landmass. After that, as the rankings continued to change constantly and since he was only staying in the Secondary Landmass, he stopped bothering about it after a while.

After that, he only checked a single ranking, and that was the ranking of the Kings. At present, there were eight of them in total, signifying that eight people had managed to obtain an active ability. Among them, Krune noticed two familiar names, Princess Zamuria and Cultivator.
