Chapter 1450: Return of the Champions
All the Gods were in the Kun Realm as the entrance only led there. Krune, Wally, Sterlena, and Gegrafikan were the only ones outside now.
Turning around, Krune gazed at the Tilk Realm that was situated close by, with there being less than a thousand kilometers between both realms.
Thanks to them being so close by, the energy they were absorbing drew in more spatial storms, causing the storms to congregate into a massive barrier around the two realms, forming their strongest defensive barrier.
This was their true plan, even if they failed in grabbing the fourth key.
After all, by being protected by such a powerful barrier, none of the foreign powers would be able to infiltrate either realm. Thanks to this, they obtained an era of peace and development.
Unless the foreign powers did something to destroy the spatial storms, they would never have to face a threat. Then again, doing something about the spatial storms was easier said than done.
After all, it was so strong that even powerful Gods would be casually killed. Only existences like the God King and a couple other Champions would be able to pass through this barrier and enter the Kun or Tilk Realm.
And even they surely would have to pay a price.
"The both of you have obtained your God Seals, Gegrafikan grew stronger by eating two Gods, we showed our hands to the other Champions, displayed our resources and cunning, and achieved a flawless victory by gaining the necessary time to develop in peace." Wally smiled. "It's a resounding victory!"
"Yaay!" Everyone cheered in response, happy for their success.
"And," Wally continued, gazing at the fourth key. "Now that we have all the four keys, we'll be able to enter and leave our realm easily."
"Then again, Luvile has the Rune Realm Spirit and Realm Core." He laughed. "So, we have a second mode for travel."
There wasn't just the Kun Realm and the Tilk Realm within the massive bubble created by the spatial storm. There was also the Calamity Realm.
The Calamity Realm Spirit—Little Cally—was overjoyed for finally being freed from the Mong Realm's control after so long. It giggled while revolving around Krune and Sterlena like it was a firefly, expressing its joy.
"Let's first return and then work on the rest." Wally smiled, unleashing a mystical ability that activated the fourth key, allowing the quartet to enter the Kun Realm and appear in the Turia Supercontinent.
Roar!
The moment they arrived, they heard the roars of everyone from the Turia Supercontinent and further beyond. Of course, for such a major event, everyone in the Kun Realm was alerted of what was happening.
After all, it was finally time to educate everyone about the dangers that the Kun Realm was facing. Of course, thanks to Krune's clone in the Mountain Sect, the Gods were able to transmit everything he saw throughout the Mong Realm, making everyone aware of the terrifying opponents they had to face.
The hearts of everyone pretty much leaped out of their throats when they saw the scene of all the Gods of the Kun Realm kneeling on the ground while defending against a casual wave from the God King.
The Greater Universe was massive and seemed infinite. And among it, there existed countless powerful realms and the Champions that stood at the top of each such realm, representing their peak power.
In comparison, the Kun Realm was indeed pretty weak. But despite that, they had achieved their objectives.
"Hishe!" Luvile shouted nervously, his hands constantly trembling as he held the body of a certain God that flickered in and out of existence.
"I'll... be fine... after some rest," Hishe gasped for air, slowly muttering after a while. "Using my second Law to attract the Tilk Realm closer to us took a major toll on my body."
"I'll... have to slumber for a while, Luvile. But I'll be fine," he said, closing his eyes as his body dissipated, vanishing from view. "I'll leave the job of reviving our remaining Gods to you and Soren."
"Get some rest, old friend." Luvile's eyes were red as he resisted the urge to cry. "You've worked too hard for us. Rest for the time being."
Hishe wasn't dead yet, as his Law was still ever-present in the God Realm. It was just that the backlash from using his second Law was too severe. So, he wouldn't be able to condense his body or even speak for at least a few thousand years.
"Great job out there, Wally." Luvile wiped his tears upon seeing Wally and the group arrive, wiping his tears as he said, "I'm glad that you've returned with our key in tow. That was terrific!"
"It wouldn't have been possible without the plans everyone made." Wally smiled in response. "This victory is thanks to the efforts of all of us."
"But, I'm the MVP," Krune said all of a sudden.
"Brat, your grandpa here did all the heavy lifting," Wally retorted. "No way in hell you're the MVP."
"Old man, get your eyes, ears, and nose checked. Just because you have a golden Wisp Core doesn't mean you're the MVP." Krune snorted in response.
"You're still not over that?"
"Hahaha!" Luvile began to chuckle after seeing their usual banter. "Right, this is no time to be sad. Hishe is just asleep, that's all. He isn't dead."
"This is a joyous occasion, so let's celebrate," Luvile said before shouting with all his might. "Everyone, the team has returned with our key! They are our Champions!"
"Champions!" Everyone that was watching the scene on their TV bellowed in response, unleashing victory cries.
"Champions!"
"Champions!"
"Krune!" A figure slammed into him, enveloping him into a bear hug after the crash sent the two flying for a couple of kilometers, causing a deep trench into the ground. Ignoring that, Feifei screamed, "You're safe!"
"I was damn worried!" Tears streamed out of her eyes. "Especially when that God King stared at you, I almost fainted."
In response to her heartfelt words, Krune smiled, wiping her tears as he spoke, "I'm hungry."
"I'll prepare you a good meal," Feifei responded, thinking that Krune missed her cooking when she realized that it was him that did all the cooking.
"I'm hungry." Krune smiled, repeating the same line once again.
