Is that a Wisp?

"Krune!" Soren shouted as he lost consciousness.

Hishe hurriedly sent Soren's fragment flying away so that the Rune Realm Spirit could catch him from a safe distance and vanish.

"This is my final stretch of power." Hishe slapped both of his laws together, instantly fusing them both into a single entity as his power spiked to its zenith, attaining strength vastly superior to before.

"Luvile! No!" Krune shouted in alarm, for it was Luvile that defended against the God King's attack in his place.

Tribulation lightning constantly slammed into the God King, barely causing singeing marks. In his Champion state, the God King was just too overpowered that even his all-out attacks barely meant anything.

"This is the first time I have witnessed a God of Tribulations. Impressive indeed." The God King smiled, grabbing hold of Luvile as his power slowly began to destroy his body. "Unfortunately, you just didn't have enough time to surpass the strength of your weak realm."

The God King used his Mental Energy to probe through Luvile's mind and obtain his secret of wielding Tribulation Lightning, but the moment he connected to Luvile's mind, he flinched, retracting his Mental Energy. 'His thoughts are also full of tribulation lightning. I don't have a method to defend against that.'

Just as he planned to take Luvile with him back to the Mong Realm and study further, the hairs on his arms raised up, forming goosebumps as the God King sensed the insane aura emanating from Hishe, frowning as numerous thoughts clashed in his mind as he weighed his objectives, sighing. "Unfortunately, this is fate. I have to prioritize my realm first."

"Kah… gaaah!" Luvile screamed as his defenses came undone one after another as his body was destroyed more and more.

"No! Stop! Bastard!" Krune bellowed, unleashing all his attacks. But none changed the situation. He just wasn't strong enough to injure the God King anymore after his Champion state had been activated.

All the maggots squirming through his body were instantly erased while the power from the Mong Realm rapidly regenerated the part of his law that the maggots had consumed. In mere moments, he had recovered his peak strength.

Krune could only stare helplessly as the God King's power constricted him to the spot as Luvile was slowly pried out of his body in the most forceful manner.

To avoid Krune escaping, the God King was cautious, planning to kill Luvile first before destroying Krune. Or rather, he understood Luvile's worth better, hence targeting him first.

"Being the God of Tribulation gives your realm significant advantages. But the disadvantages are also evident." The God King smirked, staring at Luvile's face. "That is, with your death, your realm would lose the Tribulation Lightning Law, losing its most fundamental law. And with that, no new immortal would ever be birthed in the Kun Realm."

"Everything you have here would simply be up for grabs after that." He smirked, lips curling up as the energy emanating from his body spiked in response, rapidly vaporizing Luvile.

"Nooo!" Krune screamed, tearing up in response to see his close friend being killed before his eyes.

"Krune… be brave." Luvile's voice resounded through the Tribulation Lightning Law, their exclusive communication. "I have been preparing you for this possibility. I know you'll protect our home. You're the strongest wisp, and my closest friend that I've watched grow up."

"Honestly, you're like both a brother and a son to me. I'm sorry for making mistakes as a God and plunging our home into trouble. Now, I'll pass everything to you."

"Farewell, Krune."

"Luvileeeeeeee!" Krune sobbed, noticing the final vestige of Luvile vanishing in response as the God King clenched his hand into a fist, annihilating Luvile, the God of Tribulations.

"Bastardddd!" Hishe screamed as he slammed into the God King.

"Haha, let me see your final moments, Hishe." The God King laughed. "Show me the strength you gained through your sacrifice."

Boom!

Hishe slammed into the God King. But this time, there wasn't any impact or explosion, but his figure turned into a tiny revolving blob that became attached to the God King's body, rapidly seeping into it, unable to be affected by even the God King in his Champion state.

"…Shit!" The God King cursed when he sensed that all aura from the tiny blob had vanished before suddenly, a prehistoric flaming star manifested in the place, swallowing everything.

It only spanned a kilometer in radius but contained enough power to destroy an entire realm. It was Hishe's final attack, one created by fusing his two laws that originated from the Kun Realm and the Tilk Realm, respectively.

The explosion enveloped Krune, but surprisingly, he was unaffected, for it seemed that only the target would experience the power of this attack, Hishe's ultimate.

"Krune…" Hishe's voice resounded in the world of white that Krune found himself within.

"Hishe!" Krune trembled as tears streamed out of his eyes, "Luvile… that bastard… he left… he… that… I…"

"Krune…" Hishe called out again as a tiny blob appeared before Krune, forcefully stabilizing himself before saying, "Luvile had only given you the Tribulation Lightning Spiritual Mark at first as a show of friendship. Practically, he was doting on you. But once we came to know about the other realms, his plans changed."

"He realized that as the sole God of Tribulations in the Greater Universe, he could be killed at any time. Every single realm would try to pry out his secrets since information about him would have reached them ages ago," he continued. "And hence, Luvile had already begun preparing you as his back-up, as the second God of Tribulations."

"…But, I can only possess one Law," Krune said, wiping his tears as he controlled himself, unwilling to waste the bare few moments Hishe had left to live in this all-encompassing explosion.

"Not if you inherit my power," Hishe said, causing a mysterious power to seep into Krune. "Unlike me, your Little Krune allows you to inherit and wield my power better. And since you've been practically wielding the Tribulation Lightning Law for all your life, you can succeed in what I've failed to achieve for all my life…"

"And become the first God to fully wield two Laws."
