Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 1348 Enemy in Their Midst

Krune rested for an entire fay before he managed to heal his mind. After that, he took in a deep breath before extending his divine sense to touch the Law core, grunting after a second had passed as he was in a pool of his own sweat.

It was hard to focus for a moment as intense sense of exhaustion enveloped him, making him wish he could just close his eyes and rest.

But, that wasn't an option, as he knew he would fall unconscious for a long time if he closed his eyes at this moment. Godly Energy was absorbed into his Deific Meridians from his subspace, instantly turned into Mental Energy that gushed into his mind, healing him to a certain extent before he could sigh in exhaustion.

"How's it going for you, Luvile?" He asked.

"Not good," Luvile shook his head, "I haven't been able to comprehend it for long enough. At present, I'm not even properly scratching the surface. Only Hishe is making any leads."

"Heuk!" After a day, Hishe grunted in exhaustion as his body turned weak. His figure morphed from a humanoid basketball to a humanoid straw model. He sighed, staring at Luvile to speak, "It's damn scary to be frank."

"Is that Law dangerous?" Luvile asked, "Will understanding it hinder our growth?"

"It will…" Hishe said, gazing at his trembling hands, "Since my second Law is from beyond the Four Realms, I'm able to somewhat endure this. But I'm crippling myself every time I attempt to use it. Anyway, stop once you obtain a basic understanding of it, just enough to deal with it. If you go beyond that, it'll do more harm than good."

"What does this Law do?" Luvile asked, curious as to what the laws from beyond the Four Realms consist of.

"It's the law of explosion." Hishe said, shocking everyone.

"What? This is the Law of Explosion?" Luvile frowned, "Impossible! I have comprehended a bit of the Law of Explosion before. So, I know this isn't it."

"You misunderstand." Hishe shook his head before explaining, "The Laws are the same everyone. It's just that their structure and composition is entirely different."

"There should be a Tribulation Lightning Law in whatever Realm this Law is from. But, if you encounter that Tribulation Lightning Law, you won't even understand it." Hishe noticed the confusion in the faces of everyone, thinking as he spoke, "This isn't a perfect analogy, but think of it like this."

"There are two ponds. One is an acid pond and the other is a lava pond. The same species of fishes are living in both the ponds and have adapted to the conditions around them." Hishe said, "But, suppose you take a fish from the acid pond and drop it into a lava pond, it'll die."

"And similarly, if you take a fish from the lava pond and drop it into the acid pond, it too would die. This is despite both of them being part of the same species." Hishe concluded.

"That's what the difference here is. The laws themselves are the same, but their structure, composition, and energy mediums are different. That's why it's hard for us to comprehend them. it's because we're innately incompatible."

"Then, how are they able to affect us?" Luvile asked, "The Abolition Tower has been running rampant all this time. How are they able to target us while we failed to even detect them?"

"Mental Energy." Hishe said, "They used their equivalent of Mental Energy to shield themselves from us and then targeted us. As they are from different power systems than us, we are unable to detect them, especially since we don't even have any methods to guard against our own Mental Energy."

"Does that mean they have all the Laws we have too?" Krune asked, frowning in response, feeling like their advantage in uniqueness was rendered obsolete by this enemy.

"Not really," Hishe said, "They only have the basic Laws that our Four Realms too possess. Any law that our Gods created on their own is unique. They have their respective unique Laws while we too possess our unique Laws."

"Currently, they have obtained a basic understanding of our Laws and used that to infiltrate the God Realm." Hishe said, "They too are taking damage from the attacks, but it's nothing much in comparison to the damage they are able to wreak around."

"What is the reason they are doing this?" Krune asked, gritting his teeth as he gazed at the figure of Solare still remaining unconscious.

"It's simple." Hishe said, "Once all the Gods protecting the God Realm are dead, the Four Realms would become incomparably weak. After that, our enemies would make their Realm devour ours. This way, they'll convert and absorb our foundation, strengthening their Realm to birth even more Gods."

"What'll happen to us at that time?" Krune asked.

Hishe sighed in response, shaking his head, "Not even a speck of dirt would remain. Everything would be destroyed, converted into pure energy and absorbed by that Realm."

"Dammit!" Luvile cursed in anger as he used his divine sense to comprehend the law further, asking Hishe, "We only need to understand the way their power system works, right?"

"Yes, we don't need to understand their Laws itself." Hishe nodded, "As long as we understand how their power system exists at, we'll be able to device measures to sense and attack them. That's more than enough."

"This way, not only would we be able to target our opponents, we also wouldn't have to cripple ourselves in the process."

"Fine, we'll do it." Krune nodded, "There shouldn't be too many enemies that had invaded. Otherwise, too many cultivators would be exploding all the time."

He then frowned, gazing at Hishe, "As to that bastard that infected Solare now, where is he?"

All of them had only been conversing using divine sense, aware of what the problem at hand was.

And as expected, Hishe replied, "He's currently standing a couple kilometres away, nervous. I've already used my second Law to constrict his movements. Since he's only a Primal God, this was easy."

"So, he's here." Krune nodded, slowly closing his eyes as he continued to comprehend the essence of the enemy's Law in the Law Core. And slowly, the sounds of ocean waves churned around him, like a volcano ready to erupt.
