Is That A Wisp?

Krune and the Seamstress spent a couple of months understanding their active abilities. 

Even an active ability was still limited by their mortal bodies. If they expend all their stamina, they would be able to condense the Supreme Monster forming their active ability. Plus, the size of the monster created dictated the strength the Supreme Monster wielded. 

When summoned, just like the Checkpoint Turtle summoned by Gehen, they were able to compress air in their bodies to launch an attack. 

The Seamstress's active ability was called Great Dipper, which came from one of the adults. It was capable of high-speed flight between multiple points. It was a great advantage in the presence of numerous enemies. 

Its special ability was inhaling and compressing air before shooting them out of the stinger-like bullets. And, each air bullet packed a lot of punch, enough to make a hole 10 centimeters deep into the rock pillar. 

On top of that, the stinger itself was covered with a poison that would paralyze the stung foes. These were the abilities the Great Dipper possessed. While summoning it, the Seamstress could use it to ride freely in the air. 

If she activated her active ability without summoning the Great Dipper, she was able to secrete the poison in its stinger. Upon understanding the potency of the poison, she stored it within her coral sword, improving it further. 

Overall, she obtained numerous abilities that made her insanely stronger when compared to before. At present, her stamina wasn't enough to summon the Great Dipper in its largest form. Still, even when it was smaller, it retained all its abilities. 

In any case, the Seamstress usually summoned it in a tiny form to use it like a mobile gun. 

As for Krune, he had long since overcome his depression, now brimming with a childlike grin as he experimented with his abilities in excitement. 

At its maximum size, the Cloud Whale spanned 20 meters in length and had a horn of 5 meters long on its forehead. Its primary ability was related to the Motor Fish. Though, as all Supreme Monsters wielded air, it was able to generate air currents to move in the same way a Motor Fish moved in water. 

And by using its expandable wings, it was able to glide over long distances, only expending minimal energy. It wasn't able to travel like the Great Dipper, though. It was only capable of traveling in straight lines and took a lot of time and space to make a turn. 

Nevertheless, it was the best bet to travel long distances at a minimal cost. 

By inhaling and compressing air in its body, the Cloud Whale was able to shoot out a stream of air from its horn that was thin and possessed tremendous penetrating power. It wasn't able to shoot in multiple bursts like the Great Dipper, and had to expel all the compressed air in one shot. 

In any case, it was the most powerful when mowing down things in a straight line or creating a tunnel through a thick piece of rock. After experimenting, Krune figured out that even after expending all five rings of his Ocean Heart, he was only able to summon it to a length of 18 meters, short of its maximum.

Even with all his energy, he still wasn't able to summon it in its most powerful state, but this only caused him to beam in joy. Because that meant he could still train and grow a lot. 

Last but not least, the final segment of this active ability caused him to be unable to control his excitement. Just like how the Seamstress was able to generate poison when activating the active ability without summoning the Great Dipper, Krune was able to do the same. 

And in his case, the ability he got was the Cloud Whale's ability to generate air currents. Even though the air currents he generated weren't powerful enough to make him fly, it was still strong enough for him to glide through the air for long distances. 

That was just one part. While running, he was able to boost his running speed by making use of the air currents. It also allowed his attacks to become faster and stronger, giving him a boost in speed overall. 

Even though it was an exhausting technique, since air was 800 times less dense than water—to achieve the same effect as in water, he would need to exert more—but it caused his strength to grow even further. 

Now, Krune was confident of only relying on the air currents to go toe-to-toe with a Monster King and emerge out victorious. He was still unsure of facing a Monster Emperor. He would only have a guarantee of winning if he summoned his Cloud Whale. 

As for a Supreme Monster, Krune still not dared face one alone. Upon obtaining one himself, he knew just how ridiculously strong a Supreme Monster was. It made him wonder just how a mortal was able to face against a being of such a level. 

'Just how did Gehen kill a Checkpoint Turtle within two years of arriving at Layer 3?' Krune thought about it so many times over the past two months while training. As for him, even though his plans were conservative, it still took him 17 years before he obtained an active ability. 

Given that he nurtured a Supreme Monster from scratch and did not kill it through other means, he took a longer time. But even otherwise, he had chosen this path because he didn't have confidence in killing a Supreme Monster.

After spending two months fully experimenting and training with their active abilities, Krune and the Seamstress descended to the bottom of the rock pillar, heading into the territory of the Great Dippers to hunt their Mutated and King versions. 

"Let's have a race, shall we?" Krune laughed and sped off, being carried by his Cloud Whale. 

"Alright!" The Seamstress laughed and rode her Great Dipper, beginning her hunt. 

A week later, Krune and the Seamstress looked at each other in shock, for they had tied. Among the 45 Godly Points available in the Secondary Landmass, they had obtained 22 each. 

Krune was always aware that the Seamstress has plenty strong. But, over the years, he had trained and became stronger. Moreover, he had his Ocean Heart to rely on for an unceasing supply of energy. So, it didn't make sense as to how the Seamstress was able to finish at the same time as him. 

Even though she was slightly more exhausted than him, it wasn't by much. It showed that her abilities had either grown stronger. But, he knew of her abilities, so he wasn't able to make sense of how she was able to finish at the same time as him.

Upon seeing his confusion, the Seamstress laughed as she said, "I managed to figure out the way to obtain the passive ability, Solar Breathing. It was something I discovered during my research into creating the Supreme Monster."

"No wonder." Krune nodded in realization. Solar Breathing was one of the two passive abilities Solare was gifted for being the first human to be birthed in Layer 3. Unsurprisingly, its power was simple but peerless. 

It allowed one to absorb energy from the sunlight or any heat sources for the matter. The condition for it to be used was of the heat source being at a temperature greater than the body. And the greater the temperature difference, the greater the energy replenishment. 

It was a technique that surpassed a mortal's understanding and bordered the realm of a cultivator. 

The Seamstress laughed as she continued, "I have mutated and obtained the stronger versions of both Coral Wave and Heat Radiance. Just that alone improved my strength. Then, upon seeing that our tablets can point the direction of the Landmasses Gehen is ruling over, and the map function we can use after becoming Kings, I judged that Bubble Touch no longer has any value. So, I swapped it with Solar Breathing."

"I also upgraded my Thermal Vision to Thermal Sense. Now, I can perceive heat not only through sight alone but also through my other senses." She grinned. "With that, I have upgraded all my abilities to the limit. If you want, I'll give you Solar Breathing as well."

"I'll pass on that. My abilities are already perfect for my use," Krune shook his head as he replied. "Help me to capture a couple of Sonic Radars. They should be coming near us within a month."

As they headed back to their house, Solare was waiting with a bored expression, jumping up the moment he looked at them. "Are we finally leaving this place?"

"In a few months." Krune smiled. "Let's prepare accordingly."

"Alright! I'll make a lot of friends once we head to the human settlements." Solare chirped in joy as he ran out, jumping from one rope bridge to another like a monkey as he seemed to be collecting something. 

"That child is too strong and too naïve for his age." The Seamstress sighed after looking at his back, turning around to face Krune as she asked him, "Are you sure about leaving him behind?"

"Yes." Krune nodded. "That would be for the best. He has been living alone for more than 18 years since his birth. He needs human interaction the most now. And there won't be any of that in Layer 2."

"Besides..." He laughed. "Solare is strong, you know. We have given him really strong abilities."

Solar Breathing allowed him to replenish his abilities. Water Affinity allowed him to live within the water like a fish without any problems. It also allowed him to shape water according to his needs and wield it, a peerless ability in the Double Ocean layer. 

The Seamstress had gifted him Heat Radiance, complementing his Solar Breathing to turn any place into a fiery hell when needed. On the other hand, Krune had gifted him Moving Ripple, allowing him to move through the water at tremendous speeds and even run on it without trouble. 

Finally, the two of them used their respective healing abilities to condense it in the body of a Motor Fish Emperor, making it the dominant trait before giving it to him, allowing him to gain a healing ability. 

This way, they prepared him against everything. As for an active ability, they didn't bother with that, unwilling to spend a decade or two for the same unnecessarily. Moreover, Solare already had no sense of value for the things he had, taking everything for granted upon living with the two monsters named Krune and the Seamstress. 

Solare wasn't their son, so they had already done everything to take care of him all along until he was able to handle himself.
