Chapter 1007: Reaching Peak Tier 1 (1/2)

At Tier 1, Krune felt that he had indeed grown a lot stronger. Not only was his physique the same size as usual, but his external appearance also didn't change. But internally, it was completely different. His density had definitely increased. His muscles had grown tougher to wield all his weight, making him stronger, faster, and tougher.

Even his skin was a lot stronger now. Krune felt happy that he was able to grow once again. Nevertheless, the greatest of this boon was the fact that all his abilities had grown stronger as well. It was like their effect had grown as potent as the density of his body did. Of course, that effect also applied to his Ocean Heart.

Krune noticed that even though he was eating the same amount of food, as usual, the increase in brightness of the crimson rings in his Ocean Heart was becoming slower and slower with each passing day.

This meant that its capacity was increasing. In turn, the quality of energy stored in them was also increasing. This meant that he would be able to store even more energy in them and use his abilities for longer durations.

While using his Sonic Radar, Krune noticed that its range and sensitivity had increased, allowing him to capture things that happened farther away than usual with greater clarity. Naturally, this effect was clearly pronounced while activating Ocean Turbulence. Krune was able to figure out just how much his abilities had grown stronger.

And that wasn't all. The best out of all this was the fact that the development effect of his Ocean Heart was absorbing the effect of the Tier 1 Essence, upgrading itself. Now, even without a Tier 1 Essence, Krune was able to strengthen himself to the limit of Tier 1.

Then again, since directly consuming a Tier 1 Essence was faster, he continued to use it while allowing his energy to recover so that he could finish healing Wrister first.

Ten days later, Krune gazed at the 12th generation of fishes in the second reservoir, finally noticing that some of the fishes seemed different from the rest. They were violet in color as compared to the usual white.

They weren't that different physique-wise, only spanning a couple of centimeters longer. However, the energy of their flesh was denser, not to mention their weight. They were indeed heavier. Krune was surprised by the development as he thought, 'Based on the color code, they match the demons. Then, would a blue fish appear next?'

Krune was curious as he continued to feed them. As a new generation was birthed after every five days, the number of violet fishes continued to increase in number. Moreover, even the white fishes had more energy in their bodies due to the constant breeding.

After all, the feed to the bone trees was their bodies crushed into a paste. And it was that the bone trees concentrated in their fruits. Without surprise, such a variable caused their essence to pile up more and more in the bodies of the fishes as they only consumed the bone tree fruit powder.

Thanks to his experience on Layer 3, Krune could instinctively feel that he wouldn't ever obtain any passive ability from these fishes, no matter how much they grew. 'So, they are in line with Layer 2. The concept of passive and active abilities don't exist here.'
