Chapter 800 - Good Bye, Purple Tribulation Lightning
Eventually, all the energy rampaging inside the sealed space was absorbed by Luvile. His body was still generating Purple Tribulation Lightning due to its source. However, it would take some time before it filled the sealed space with enough energy to blast through the gap again.
Luvile then returned to Krune's foundation right after.
"You can continue."
Krune smiled and joined hands with Soren to keep opening the gap. However, he immediately noticed that his Purple Tribulation Lightning had become stronger.
"Was there Purple Tribulation Lightning Essence inside the energy you absorbed?"
Luvile confirmed.
"Yes. However, it was a lot less than the amount that escaped to the Dalin Universe in the past. Because of that, the difference isn't that much."
Krune didn't mind. The good thing was that the speed that he and Soren opened the hole had increased a lot. Since there was already a small gap, they had to just widen it. Finally, a day later, the gap was big enough for Krune to enter the sealed space.
Soren, Feifei, and Heavin then looked at Krune.
"We will hold the hole open. Go ahead and take the body back. After that, we're going after the Key of the Mortal Realm."
Krune smiled and entered the Sealed Space. As soon as he appeared inside, he understood that it was enormous. However, it was easy to find his way since Luvile could show him the way. Krune moved in the direction Luvile pointed at for over one hour. He could have gone faster, but the power of the Purple Tribulçation Lightning of Luvile's body could easily obliterate him. That being said, he moved slowly just in case.
Suddenly, he noticed a small purple point far in the distance. The closer he got, the bigger it became. At some point, Krune understood that it was a sphere of Purple Tribulation Lightning. However, he was still pretty far from it. When he finally got close to it, he noticed that the sphere was as big as a planet.
"This... What should I do now?"
Luvile's Purple Tribulation Source then came out of Krune's foundation and stopped right in front of him.
"Just follow me."
Krune nodded and followed the small ball of Purple Tribulation Lightning that was Luvile. The moment Luvile touched the planet-sized thing, a tunnel began to open in front of him. Krune took a deep breath and followed him inside. Right behind him, the tunnel closed. All he could see now was Purple Tribulation Lightning all around him.
Luvile was pretty calm, though. Instead, he felt like he was at home. The lightning around him answered his every command, opening the passage as they moved forward. At their speed, moving to the center of the Purple Tribulation Lightning sphere only took a few minutes.
"We're here."
Krune narrowed his eyes as he looked ahead, but all he could see was the same Purple Lightning everywhere. However, the tunnel suddenly opened, showing an empty space inside. That space wasn't more than a few hundred meters wide, but it was indeed free of Lightning.
At the very center, Krune finally saw a body that seemed to be frozen in time. However, it only lasted for a second before Purple Tribulation Lightning came out of it and hit the walls of energy on the sides. It was then absorbed by the sphere of Purple Lightning, joining the thing.
"Let's go."
"Are you sure? That Purple Tribulation Lightning that it just released was really frightening."
Luvile confirmed.
"It's fine. I just need you to be close since I'm attached to your foundation. Come. I will stop any Lightning that might come your way."
"Alright."
Sure enough, the body released a few more bolts of Purple Tribulation Lightning. Some even came in Krune's direction. However, Luvile took them all inside his source. The thing was that the closer they got to Luvile's body, the more Purple Tribulation Lightning it released in their direction. Each discharge was more powerful than the last, making Krune's strongest attacks look like a joke.
"Why is your body attacking us?"
Luvile heard that and laughed.
"Attacking us? Hahahaha! It's not attacking anyone. It has a connection with me, so you could say that the Purple Tribulation Lightning Source inside it is excited with my present source. It's more like a welcome back greeting."
Krune bitterly smiled.
"Now, that's quite a frightening greeting."
However, that didn't last for long. When Luvile finally arrived beside his body, the Purple Tribulation Lightning Source inside it calmed down. Krune couldn't help but sigh in relief when that happened.
Luvile then looked back at Krune before saying.
"This is where we separate from each other. Well, it's not like I'm going anywhere. Whatever, you understand what I mean."
Krune nodded.
"Yep, I understand. It's time for me to say goodbye to my Purple Tribulation Lightning Power as well. Then again, it was good while it lasted. The laws I comprehended from it will definitely be of great use for me in the future."
Luvile nodded.
"To be honest, I could leave this source I'm in with you so that you could continue using it. However, I don't want you to do that. Do you know why?"
Krune nodded as he said.
"I know. In fact, I don't want you to leave it with me either. If you do, I will keep depending on this power. There's no doubt that it is powerful. It saved my life many times. However, ultimately, this power isn't mine. These laws aren't mine. This source isn't mine."
Luvile was happy that Krune understood.
"Correct. Usually, only when you ascend to the God Realm would you start thinking about your own laws. However, you already experienced real God-created laws that are not natural. I'm sure you have what it takes for you to create something for yourself. I'm taking my Purple Tribulation Lightning back with me so that it won't get in the way of your own creation. That's how things should be."
"Of course, if you wish to create a new lightning-based law, you are more than welcome to ask me for advice."
Krune smiled as he felt the connection between his foundation and Luvile disappearing. It would be a lie if he said he wasn't sad. They had been together like that for centuries, after all.
Krune then remembered one thing.
"Oh, right! Your body had been sealed with your soul inside before you escaped through a Tribulation. If you enter your body now, won't you get trapped again?"
"No. What was trapping me inside was the sealed space. However, it needs to be whole for it to work. Soren, Feifei, Heavin, and you opened a hole in the Sealed Space. As small as it might be compared to the Sealed Space's total size, it is no longer whole. Without that, it can't trap me inside anymore."
"Well, I would be trapped here forever if I haven't escaped since only after joining hands with Soren were you able to open that hole. Others tried to open it many times, as the Sacred Lands mentioned. But it was obvious that they failed miserably and wouldn't succeed any time soon. In the end, escaping was the best choice."
Krune nodded.
"I see... That's good, then. Go ahead."
Finally, the connection between the two was completely severed. Following that, Luvile's Lightning Source entered his body.
Luvile's body was quite the muscular one. Although it was withered due to how long it had been here, Krune could still tell that Luvile was more of a melee fighter. It also had silver hair and a mustache, which looked quite weird.
However, that withered appearance didn't last for long. Purple Tribulation began to run through Luvile's body, returning it to its healthy color. Others might have suffered severe damage or even died because of that. However, for Luvile, Purple Tribulation Lightning was like a heavenly tonic.
Luvile's silver hair suddenly began to change color, becoming purple, just like his Purple Tribulation Lightning.
At the same time, Krune looked at his hand as Purple Tribulation Lightning ran around it. However, it became dimmer and dimmer the longer Luvile was gone. Finally, Krune lost his ability and source completely. He sighed before murmuring.
"Goodbye, Purple Tribulation Lightning."
Alongside that, multiple runes began to appear on Luvile's body as if trying to holding it in place. Those were the sealed space's runes that were locking Luvile's soul and body in place. Unfortunately, they couldn't work well due to the hole in the Sealed Space that Krune's group created.
The power of Purple Tribulation Lightning began to rampage over those runes without stopping. Finally, the runes began to shatter one after the other. The more they broke, the faster the process became.
*Shatter, shatter, shatter...*
At the same time, the sealed space itself began to tremble. It was made to seal Luvile's body and used its energy. Now that the body was leaving its control, the Sealed Space was losing its purpose. It wasn't wrong to say that Luvile's body was the foundation of it.
Suddenly, Luvile's eyes opened as he shouted.
"Get the fuck out of my body!"
Purple Tribulation Lightning raged as all the remaining runes shattered at once! Luvile was finally free from the Seal.
He looked at all the Purple Tribulation Lightning in the surroundings before extending his hand. As if he was a black hole, all the Purple Tribulation Lightning rushed into his body once again. Soon, the planet-sized sphere of Purple Tribulation Lightning disappeared without a trace.
"Hahaha! This god is finally back! Oh, right!"
Krune smiled at Luvile.
"Congratulations."
