Chapter 990: Strong Enemy (1/2)

”There, it's done.” Gehen laughed as he looked at the statue before him. It was a realistic statue of Krune holding his old Whale Tooth Sword. The sculpture was made using turtle shell, something he had condensed using one of his abilities.

It wasn't known how he managed it, but Gehen was able to imbue Krune's disposition, aura, and the suffocating presence he emitted into the sculpture. It was as if Krune had been turned into a sculpture and placed there.

Gehen nodded in satisfaction, gazing left as he looked at the statue of the Seamstress. There were statues one after another, finally ending with his own statue. Seeing them laid out in front of him one by one, he could not help but think, 'Now, there's a legacy of kings here.'

Gehen was working hard in creating history for the place. And now, with the status of 10 kings, he had created a legacy of sorts. As each status had the presence, will, and power of the respective person, future generations would be able to see them and get an inkling as to how each King was.

Moreover, they could even obtain inspiration from the statues. This was Gehen's plan, a way to strengthen his future generations using the way of the predecessors. All 10 kings were in a row, their statues created realistically with lifelike accuracy.

'Hmm, I don't think any other active ability user might appear any time soon...unless I start nurturing another one,' he thought when he was interrupted by a boy aged around 17.

”Dad, I want to head into a Tertiary Landmass and face a Supreme Monster,” the boy said, carrying a sword in his hand.

”Sure.” Gehen smiled, condensing a thin film before him, telling the boy, ”If you can penetrate this barrier, that is. This represents the hide of the Supreme Monster with the weakest defense.”

The boy focused, condensing all his strength into an attack as he barely managed to scratch the barrier, panting in exhaustion.

Gehen said, ”It's good that you're motivated, but you must first kill a Monster King one on one. You aren't at the level of a Monster Gecko King yet. You need to train hard to reach that point.”

”Alright.” Sulking, the boy walked away when another boy walked forward. He was the one that had volunteered to tour the palace with the Seamstress and Solare.

He looked at his twin brother that was sulking, saying, ”His record kill is only three Mutant Monster Geckos. A Monster Gecko King would be too much for him to handle.”

…

Upon sensing the Checkpoint Turtle, Krune instantly summoned his Cloud Whale. The Cloud Whale condensed around him, placing him within its body as it turned transparent, allowing him to see while controlling it.

It accelerated, leaving towards the exit when Krune noticed flashes of light from another part of the Tertiary Landmass as the Seamstress arrived with her Great Dipper. The two swiftly left the Tertiary Landmass and headed into the ocean, arriving first above the Checkpoint Turtle.

The two had chosen different Checkpoint Turtles as they had the advantage of speed and didn't wish to hinder one another.

Krune dissipated the Cloud Whale and felt the presence emanating from the Checkpoint Turtle, muttering, ”I would still die if I face it head-on, but I should be able to escape from it with minimal injuries.”

He then entered its shell, soon arriving at the cave within, noticing the octopus surface from the water.

Krune double-tapped his glabella, summoning his tablet as he looked at the number of Godly Points he had. 'A total of 3372 Godly Points. That's a tremendous sum.'

He then looked at the octopus, saying, ”I want to enter Layer 2.”

”Sure, that would be done instantly,” the octopus said before slapping the water once. Krune noticed his Godly Points reduce by 200 when he felt a mysterious power of sorts envelop him.

”…Krune!”

Suddenly, his Sonic Radar that he maintained using the sounds of his breathing picked up an individual rushing towards the Checkpoint Turtle in a hurry. His heart trembled all of a sudden as he hurriedly activated his Sonic Radar, noticing a familiar figure rush towards the Checkpoint Turtle while bellowing his name.

”Krune!”

”Krunnneeee!”

”Feifei!” Krune shouted in shock as his body disappeared from the place. A disheveled Feifei hurriedly entered the cage, noticing his figure had vanished, plopping to the ground with a dazed gaze, devastated.
