Is that a Wisp?
chapter-844

Krune then looked at the Tribulation Clouds disappearing before thinking.

'Since you sent this thing to me, I might as well use it for my own benefit.'

Krune then controlled his foundation so that the Tribulation Lightning inside was spread in every direction. Of course, a Universe Foundation was enormous. He couldn't reach every corner of the foundation with just that. However, Krune was now in the God Foundation Realm. With that, he could still control his soul as he wished. That being said, he gathered most of it around the area where the Tribulation Lightning was located and began to use it to temper his soul.

Of course, it was anything but pleasurable. That made Krune remember his time in Makui Planet when he entered the Mohie Sect.

'Now that I think about it, maybe Mohie Zarks reached this place. I wonder if I can find him one day.'

Krune then put those thoughts behind and continued his Soul Tempering, which lasted several hours. There was some damage every now and then, but with his Mental Energy from the Soul Cultivation Technique, he separated the damaged area to be healed. Eventually, the last wisp of the Tribulation Lightning disappeared. However, Krune took that chance to make another breakthrough.

'Godly Soul Source 1st Stage!'

Krune had been accumulating energy for this breakthrough for quite some time already. With this last tempering, he felt like it had become strong enough for the breakthrough. Sure enough, it worked.

Krune then got up as he looked at Dima's group.

"Sigh... Don't look at me like that. Even I didn't know that the Calamity Laws had sentience, okay? In fact, this is something you guys should know, not me."

Dima's mouth twitched as he said.

"We didn't even know that it existed before. We found out about it once you appeared in the guild with this thing. That said, how could we know that it had sentience? No, forget about that. This is a huge thing."

Roben and Zap agreed with Dima.

"Exactly. Krune's Calamity Laws have sentience. Of course, Laws are omnipresent. It's just that it only decided to talk with Krune for some reason. Does that mean that it likes Krune? Can laws like someone? Well, it was laughing, so I guess it does have emotions as well."

Krune bitterly smiled as he said.

"Liked me? That thing sent down a fucking tribulation that almost killed me! Do you try to kill someone you like? I doubt that."

Dima narrowed his eyes as he responded.

"But... I've never heard about laws having sentience. If it decided to talk to you, it at least thinks of you as special. The question is... why?"

Zap pondered for a bit before asking.

"Krune, can you contact the Calamity Laws on your own?"

Krune shrugged his shoulders as he said.

"Did you forget? Laws are omnipresent. If that really is the case, it's definitely listening to our conversation right now. Go ahead, Calamity Laws, talk with us."

*Whoosh...*

Sure enough, not a single word could be heard.

"Maybe... Laws are not omnipresent."

Krune nodded.

"That makes sense. Calamity Laws are something that only I can use as far as I know. Oh, I know, I was the one who gave birth to Calamity Laws. This thing is my child. Hahaha!"

As soon as Krune said that, an enraged voice echoed in their minds.

"Your ass! Who the hell is your child?"

Immediately, that dark cloud of laws gathered in front of them as it continued to talk.

"I'm even older than the Four Realms, alright? If anything, you are my child. After all, your race is born from chaos. Also, stop calling me Calamity Laws. Fuck that! Why do I have such a terrible name?"

Everyone's mouth twitched after hearing that. Something unbelievable was happening right in front of Krune and the others. They... were talking with a Law...

Krune then quickly recovered before asking.

"Ahem... I called it Calamity Laws because... because... Oh, right. Because that was how my wife and friends called it."

Wife and friends? Dima's group didn't even know Krune was married.

Still, it was true. The ones who came up with this name were Luvile and the others. That how they tried to make sense of Krune's ability to fall into problems every time he had a breakthrough.

"I don't like it."

Dima then took a deep breath before asking.

"Then, how should we call you, sir? Errr... should I call you sir in the first place? Wait, do you even have a gender?"

The dark cloud of laws and elements then approached Dima.

"I'm a law, or a gathering of them to be more specific. How the hell would I have a gender? Anyway, you can call me... errr... I've never thought about a name before."

Krune nodded as he suggested.

"Then let's call you Little Cally!"

As always, Krune's naming sense was out of the charts.

Everyone almost vomited blood from that. Just... Where the hell did you get that name from? First of all, how can Krune act so relaxed while talking with a Law? That's a law, you know? Shouldn't you show some more respect?

"Oh! I like that."

Dima's group didn't know whether to laugh or cry anymore after that.

'You like it? Bro, are you for real? You're a freaking law!'

Krune ignored... no, he simply didn't notice the others' feelings as he continued.

"Alright, Little Cally Laws it is. Now, then. Why the hell are you targeting me? Now that I think about it, you have probably been following me ever since I was at Makui."

Dima narrowed his eyes as he thought.

'Makui? Is that the name of a territory? I don't remember any area nearby being called like that.'

Little Cally didn't deny that.

"Well, that's true. Your journey so far has been really funny."

Krune's expression was dark.

"Funny, your ass! You still haven't told me why you're targetting me."

Cally didn't care about Krune's feelings, though.

"Because it's funny."

Even Dima thought that reason to be bullshit, let alone Krune.

"Fuck you! Just go away already. Leave me alone!"

Little Cally laughed as it replied.

"Hahaha! There's no way in hell I will do that. Especially now that you're trying to create something better than me."

Krune was taken aback.

"Are you talking about my..."

"Yes! I'm talking about your Rainbow Laws."

Krune finally exploded as he yelled.

"Rainbow Laws your ass! It's Balance Laws! B-A-L-A-N-C-E!!! There's no rainbow in the name at all!"

Cally looked at Dima's group before asking.

"Which one do you think is better? Balance or Rainbow?"

Dime, Roben, and Zap didn't know what to say.

"Errr... Are you talking about that colored power similar to Krune's hair? Is that a new type of law?"

They obviously noticed that during Krune's Tribulation since he used that to defend himself. They felt like it was very similar to the Calamity Laws but different at the same time.

However, Dima and the others wouldn't dare go against the Law of the Four Realms.

"Rainbow Laws are perfect!"

"What a creative name!"

"Such a nice idea. I couldn't have thought about anything better."

Little Cally laughed after hearing that.

"I know, right? There's no way the great me would come up with a bad name."

Tears flowed down from Krune's eyes.

"Go to hell! You're doing it on purpose since you know how much it bothers me!"

Krune finally thought he got away from the rainbow name. He gave it up when he spent his time with his family and friends since they always brought this name back. However, he was alone now! He could have turned a new leaf! He could leave the rainbow behind and think about it as a black spot to be buried in the past... or so he thought.

Little Cally didn't deny that.

"Yep."

Krune finally lost his patience.

"I'm out! So what if you have sentience? I couldn't care less. I've had my fair share of old monsters already. One more or one less will make no difference."

Somewhere else in the God Realm...

*Achoo!*

Luvile looked around with a puzzled expression.

"Is anyone talking about me?"

Back at Krune's side, he went back to his human form and put on his clothes. Following that, he began to make his way back to the city.

However, Little Cally immediately called his attention.

"Are you sure? Because you've got some control over my properties, I can't directly affect you. However, I can still affect the world around you. Are you sure you want more tribulations coming down? Oh! What about this? I'll send a tribulation every time you break through a stage instead of a realm."

"Shameless!"

Dima's group looked at each other. This was not how they thought this situation would develop. A law of the realms was having such a ridiculous argument with Krune.

'Should it be more... you know... disciplined?'

Roben agreed with Dima.

'I thought so as well. It looks more like a quarrel between two kids.'

Zap then added.

'However, we better not get on the bad side of the Calamity Laws. Don't intervene.'

Dima and Roben nodded.

Eventually, Krune took a deep breath before asking.

"Just what the hell do you want with me? You have never talked before. If you had stayed silent, I wouldn't even know you existed."

Little Cally agreed with him, replying.

"True. But that matters little. It's not like anything would change even if everyone knows I have sentience. First of all, you're not the first one I played with and won't be the last either."

Litle Cally continued.

"Anyway, I'll tell you what I want some other day. Just make sure to keep giving me a good show."

Little Cally then looked at Dima and the others.

"For your own good, others are better to never know what happened here. Remember, I'm omnipresent. Hahaha!"

Before Krune and the others could say anything, the dark cloud disappeared.
