Chapter 1451 Opportunity Even in Defeat
The Rune Realm's specialty, thanks to the intent behind its creation, allowed the Rune Realm Spirit to open portals connecting to the other realms. This was a tremendous power.
Now that it was in the hands of the Kun Realm, they basically obtained an advantage, allowing them to seize the initiative and travel to any realm they pleased. The other realms wouldn't like this... normally, that is.
But, there was one thing that made them like such a development.
The Kun Realm didn't have a Realm Spirit yet. Without a Realm Spirit, it would be impossible for them to annex the Tilk Realm.
Secondly, there were 12,000 years left for the Mong Realm to collapse. So, that meant that the Mong Realm would focus all its attention on saving itself.
But if the Tilk Realm were to suddenly vanish, then the Mong Realm's plans would be pushed back further. With their deadline approaching closely, they would attack another realm with full force.
'In that situation, I need to show up with the other Champions to hinder the God King. If we prolong the battle long enough, the Mong Realm would collapse, severely weakening the God King.' Chuckling, the Garg Realm Champion entered the portal, vanishing as the Rune Realm collapsed completely.
As all the Champions left, the God King was the only existence remaining there, staring at the chaotic storms in silence as he turned into a streak of light before flying straight towards the Tilk Realm.
The spatial storms directly evaded him as a spatial tunnel formed for his travel. Soon, he arrived at the location where the Tilk Realm had existed for eons, frowning as there was a massive vacuum here, filler with super weak spatial storms that had only arrived recently to fill in the vacuum.
"How did it vanish?" He frowned, unable to see where it had gone.
Thinking of something, he condensed another spatial tunnel and headed straight towards the Kun Realm, surprised to see the raging Mong Realm Spirit soon after.
"Those cunning bastards!" It bellowed in anger, clenching its stomach that continued to hurt.
"What happened?" the God King asked in a hurry.
"Why didn't you stop them?" The Mong Realm Spirit screeched in rage. "Those bastards used the Rune Realm Spirit to connect the Kun Realm and the Tilk Realm so they could bring them closer to each other. Now, see what happened."
It pointed towards a terrifying spatial storm, one that was capable of injuring even the God King. "Now that two major realms are side by side, they have begun to draw in an even more terrifying spatial storm. Now, this spatial storm formed a natural defense for them. This was their plan all along."
"Only you'll be able to endure this spatial storm. No other God is capable of passing through this without dying." It groaned.
"It seems we've become complacent by the string of constant success." The God King sighed. "And that led to the current situation."
"What will we do now? We were close to swallowing the Tilk Realm. You know we don't have enough time, right?" the Mong Realm Spirit said in worry.
"Fear not. I've already obtained some satellite realms." The God King said, taking out Realm Cores from who knows where, handing them to the Mong Realm Spirit. "With this, we won't have to worry about time for now. There are plans underway to obtain even more satellite realms. So, we'll never truly be in a predicament or in a desperate position."
"Thank goodness." The Mong Realm Spirit sighed in relief before gazing at the terrifying spatial storm, "What will we do about the Kun Realm? Will you enter it right now and kill all their Gods to teach them a lesson?"
"It's not that simple." The God King sighed after hearing that. "I just came to know that Hishe controls two Laws. If he sacrifices himself, he'll be able to inflict a mortal injury to me. If all their Gods throw themselves at me, even if I'm able to kill them all, I'll be weakened significantly. It would become impossible for me to exit the Kun Realm after that."
He then continued, "And even if I paid a sharper price to leave it, I don't think I would come out alive. The Rune Realm can connect with the other Realms. There's a fair chance the Kun Realm would seek help from the Garg Realm."
He snorted as he added, "And those bastards would be happy to fight me even for free. With me dead, they'll become the rulers of the Greater Universe."
"The Rune Realm, the infection in our realm, the summoning of various Champions, reclaiming their key, and dragging the Tilk Realm towards them to increase the lethality of the spatial storms surrounding them." The Mong Realm Spirit sighed. "If I put it this way, things are terrifying."
"What happened to the infection?" the God King asked next.
"I… had to kill all the infected," the Mong Realm Spirit said with a sour mood, "We've lost a lot of people thanks to Krune's actions."
"Most of the deaths consist of mortals, right?" The God King asked.
"Yes, and a small fraction are at the Semi-God Realm and the God Trial Realm," The Mong Realm Spirit added.
"Not to worry, then." The God King nodded casually, "We'll recover the lost numbers within a couple of centuries. In fact, this is a good situation."
"This is a good situation?" The Mong Realm Spirit was slightly perplexed.
"Of course." The God King laughed. "A tenth of those in the God Realm had been affected by this. So, practically everyone would be seething to take revenge. This is the best chance for them to grow stronger. After all, revenge is the strongest motivation."
He then said, "Open our treasury and distribute rewards to the talents that would emerge next as a result of this anger. We'll conduct tournaments in every continent under my name."
"Announce them that the winner of this tournament would become my disciple, the first and last in history," he said before returning to the Mong Realm. "Before I emerged, our Mong Realm was stupidly weak and was constantly harassed by the Garg Realm that maintained sovereignty at that time. And thanks to the endless conflicts from that time, I continued to grow nonstop to eventually become the God King of today."
"So, only endless conflicts can promote another expert on my level." He smiled, "I'll have to thank the Kun Realm for this. Thanks to their actions, my people would be fired up more than ever to destroy the other realms."
