Is That A Wisp?

Chapter 1526 Open and Hidden Politics

　　”Hiya!” Followed by an explosive shout, Mon-Tu-Casha eradicated the last of the maggots infesting the Law World of her father, sighing in exhaustion. “This will give me nightmares in the future.”

Following that, she turned into a stream of light and arrived within the Mong Realm, gazing at the figure of her father that was now hale and hearty. “Dad, I’m done.” 

”Impressive speed.” The God King nodded in praise, churning his Godly Energy as he failed to see any maggots streaming out of his body anymore, relieved to not be plagued by them any longer. 

He then looked at his daughter and asked, “What about reviving the dead Gods? How confident are you in doing that?” 

”I’m not… sure?” Mon-Tu-Casha tilted her head in response. “I still need some experience and preparation. This was my first visit there, after all. So I hadn’t been able to explore much. Besides…”

She pouted as she continued, “Your Law World was just too big, dad. I was exhausted by the time I explored it entirely.” 

”No worries. We can take our time with this.” The God King smiled, telling her, “There’s still ten thousand years before the eventual war erupts.”

”We still have that much time?” Mon-Tu-Casha was surprised to hear that. “Why is it like that, dad?”

”That’s when the Garg Realm would take action.” The God King smiled as he replied. “And when they take action is when we too would do the same.”

”What will we take action against first?” She asked, curious. 

”That depends on what the TTT and the Kun Realm do.” The God King smiled. “With four players playing this game of war, the initiative is no longer with us alone.”

”But…” He then let out a cunning smile. “I’ll force them to take action by then. We have a lot of expendable Gods, after all.”

He gazed at the Mong Realm Gods, causing them to shudder in response. “They can’t even be killed from now on. So, we might as well put them to good use.”

”But, we’ll be wasting a lot of resources to revive them every time.” Mon-Tu-Casha frowned in response. “Wouldn’t that put a dent in our finances? It’s not like we have an endless amount of resources to make use of.” 

”That may be true, but we can always pillage them from the others out there.” The God King replied. “We’ve been working on improving the Satellite Realm Rapid Transport all this time. It’s bigger and faster now. And if Yu-Ka-Ta himself takes the helm, it would be even more useful.”

At his words, The Mong Realm God, Yu-Ka-Ta, came forward and kneeled in response, “I’m ready, God King.” 

He was one of the Mong Realm’s four special Gods, nurtured just to create the Satellite Realm Rapid Transport. In recent times, his strength had increased, allowing the Rapid Transport to become better. 

But until now, as he was a precious, strategic resource, he was always protected in the Mong Realm, never involved in any wars. After all, if he died, the Mong Realm would lose a valuable resource. 

It would take them forever to create another him. 

But now, after their Realm Ability had been completed, it didn’t matter. After all, he could be casually revived. 

This meant that he could also participate in battles. Even though his fighting ability was lackluster, weaker than the weakest of Gods from other realms, he would control the Satellite Realm Rapid Transport, allowing it to exhibit powers greater than usual. 

This would allow the Mong Realm to advance and retreat at will. After all, to date, the Satellite Realm Rapid Transport was the fastest entity in the Greater Universe.

Though, the Garg Realm’s Realm Ability was another matter altogether. If they were to take action, the Satellite Realm Rapid Transport could be rendered useless to a certain extent. 

As Mon-Tu-Casha conversed with the God King, she gradually came to terms with the current situation of the Greater Universe, understanding the various open and hidden conflicts that continued to happen. 

And among the hidden conflicts, the Kun Realm and the Garg Realm were pretty active, moving against the Mong Realm. 

The Mong Realm had dispatched envoys to the smaller realms, telling them to pay taxes or suffer an invasion. 

And immediately in response, the Garg Realm contacted them through the Soul Trading Hub, informing them that in the likelihood of the Mong Realm’s invasion, the Garg Realm would protect them. 

But in response, the taxes they asked for was only a tenth of the Mong Realm’s, making it seem like they were the better option by a lot. 

Normally, things would have ended at this point. After all, only the Garg Realm dared make an offer against the Mong Realm. But now that the Kun Realm joined the picture, things became different. 

They declared counteroffers against the two Realms, extending an offer for joint drills in order to strengthen the realm itself and even nurture more Gods on their side. 

Though, that wasn’t all. The Kun Realm even offered military aid and a spatial storm shield to protect them from harm, allowing them time to develop. 

Their intention for approach was entirely different from the other two Greater Realms that only sought profits. 

The Kun Realm was ready to take a loss rather than allow the Garg or Mong Realm to develop. 

And in truth, it was impossible for them to suffer a loss, not when they were barely using a tenth of their produced resources. 

Having perfected their defenses thanks to the Divine Deities and the Rune Realm that could transport them everywhere, not to mention the overall defense provided by the spatial storm barrier, the Kun Realm was like a fortress. 

And that wasn’t all. When the TTT began to draw in a lot of spatial storms due to the three realms being congregated next to one another, the Kun Realm took action to prevent a spatial storm barrier from forming there. 

This way, the TTT wouldn’t have a natural defense. And if they wished for one, they would have to pay the Kun Realm an enormous sum. 

Moreover, such an action was basically leaving their defense to the Kun Realm. After all, no matter where in the Greater Universe, all the spatial storm barriers created by the Kun Realm were in their control.

The spatial storm barrier was just one facet of the hidden politics played by the Kun Realm.
