Fortunately for Krune, he didn't have to care about paying off his debt anymore. With that said, he focused on awakening the Spirits of equipment at his level and cultivating. With that, Krune broke through the 8th Stage ten months later. Following that, he broke through to the 9th Stage a year after. By now, most of the Spirit Awakeners had already left, giving up trying to understand his Calamity Laws.
However, it didn't matter for Krune. He only cared about the fact that he could now try awakening God Foundation Stars Equipment Spirits. He could already do so in the past, but it wasn't worth it.
Taran wasn't there anymore either. Instead, the headquarters left it for Dima to pass the equipment to Krune once he decided to start awakening God Foundation Stars Equipment again. Sure enough, Krune went to talk to him, and Dima contacted the headquarters, who immediately sent the first piece to him after a few days.
"Here you go. It's good that you want to do it with the headquarters since they can receive much better deals due to your speed. This one, for example, will let you receive twice as much than you were getting."
Krune nodded with a smile, responding.
"I know. Because I can do it ten times faster or more, I was already receiving ten times more God Stones. Now the headquarters are even doubling it. How could I not be happy?"
Dima laughed as he said.
"Hahaha! You might be making more God Stones right now, but don't think the headquarters aren't also getting their own benefits from this deal. They spread the news that they could awaken a God Foundation Stars Equipment's Spirit ten times faster, so they've received quite a few influential calls. This Sword in your hand, for example, will be given as a gift of the Haersin City Lord to someone else. He was struggling to give something good until he heard about it. In exchange, the local Spirit Awakener Guild in that area will receive a few benefits. From now on, you will keep getting these kinds of work."
Krune was even happier to hear that. It meant that he won't be running out of work and much less God Stones for the time being. Besides, he would receive Rank Two Stones thanks to the equipment level.
Krune then took the Sword back to his own room and began to work on it. Sure enough, the extra one year and ten months helped him become a little better at his Calamity Laws. Other than that, his additional two stages of cultivation made it even better. In the end, Krune took almost three months to succeed in awakening that Sword's Spirit. He also kept up his average 1% success rate, having failed 97 times before awakening a flawless Spirit.
'It still took around a month more to awaken this Spirit compared to a piece of equipment at my level. However, the reward I'm getting from it now is definitely worth it. Besides, there's little difference in my comprehension of the Calamity Laws, especially while creating my Elements Cooperation Sub-Law. I shall continue with these ones from now on.'
After passing the Sword back to Dima, Krune received his next equipment. This one was also in the One God Foundation Star Level.
Things continued like that for Krune during the following year. With the increase in the level of the God Stones available for him, Krune's cultivation had sped up once again. This time, he took exactly one year to reach the peak of the Godly Foundation Realm's 9th Stage, the same time he took to go from the 8th to the 9th Stage. This showed the difference in the quality of God Stones. However, Krune wasn't just happy that he could breakthrough. He was delighted that he could finally go out of the city for training.
'I've been stuck here for way too long. It's about time for me to go out. I couldn't do it before since the power I could exert with Godly Fusion Realm cultivation was way too low. Even in the 9th Stage, I could just barely make my shields fly. But the power boost in the God Foundation Realm should make it usable.'
Krune then finished awakening the Spirit he was working on and told Dima that he was going to make a breakthrough.
"I see... As expected, your cultivation speed is still quite impressive. It seems like you've become even faster after you began to use Rank Two God Stones. I know only a few people and demon beasts faster than you in our city. However, all of them have wealthy backgrounds, so it is to be expected. Do you need help with your breakthrough?"
Krune nodded as he asked.
"Sure. Can Guild Master watch over it to make sure no one will bother me? The God Foundation Realm breakthrough takes quite some time, after all. We can do it at my house, and I'll treat you to a meal after I'm done."
Dima nodded, not minding it too much. Krune was quite important for the Spirit Awakener Guild Headquarters, after all.
Still, Dima didn't think too much about his breakthrough. As fast as Krune's cultivation speed was, the fact was that he was far behind others when one compared age and cultivation level. Once again, they believed that Krune had spent his life without being able to cultivate. An average Demon Beast or human would get to the God Foundation Realm around the age of 12 to 15. The geniuses and those with wealthy backgrounds would definitely reach that before 10 years old. As for Krune, Dima could tell that he was much, much older than that. That being said, it made sense that he didn't think much about it.
Krune arrived at his house, which he had rented after his financial situation became better.
'Still, it's quite weird not to have Luvile around to talk before a breakthrough. Oh well... He probably wouldn't want to stay close to me during this moment anyway.'
Krune then put those thoughts behind and focused on his breakthrough.
Dima also invited Roben and Zap to take a look. Who knows, they might understand something about his Calamity Laws during his breakthrough.
As mentioned before, the Godly Fusion Realm was the realm where one fused one's Godly Dantian or Godly Demon Core together with one's Godly Body and Godly Soul. For Krune, this process was even easier since his Wisp Core was also his body. Not to mention that his Soul was located inside to start with. However, after he entered the God Foundation Realm, his Wisp Core will be him as a whole. His Soul had always habited the first planet he created in his Universe Foundation. From now on, his Soul would be everywhere. It wouldn't be wrong to say that Krune's foundation would also be his Soul.
Krune immediately took hundreds of Rank Two God Stones out of his Spatial Ring and laid them around him. After that, he made the final push in his foundation.
His Soul, which was on his first planet, suddenly began to expand and become dimmer. It wasn't because it was disappearing, but because it was fusing with everything else. Even his Elemental Divine Soul merged a little of Krune's own Soul with itself. Planets, suns, nebulas, black holes, you name it. If it existed inside Krune's Foundation, then a part of his Soul could be found there.
As he did that, the Rank Two God Stones around him shattered one after another. Krune's breakthrough definitely needed much, much more Godly Energy than most since his foundation was ridiculously enormous. Still, Krune didn't mind as he simply brought more God Stones out.
This was a slow process that would take a long time to be completed. Fortunately, Krune didn't need to be afraid of Tribulations here in the God Realm. Only at the Semi-God Realm would the first Tribulation come down... or so said Luvile, Soren, and all the records he had read on the network. However...
'This...'
Immediately, Krune felt that familiar power that struck him back in the Makui Planet and during all his next breakthroughs in the Mortal Realm. The Tribulation Power. Such a thing shouldn't be possible.
He wasn't the only one that felt shocked. Dima and Roben's expression immediately warped when they felt that. Dima was at the Semi-God Realm, so he received his own Tribulation already. That being said, he could totally tell what was coming for Krune.
"Impossible! It doesn't make any sense! Why is a Heavenly Tribulation coming for him?!"
Outside, tribulation clouds began to gather above Krune's house, which immediately caught everyone's attention.
This was in the middle of the city. No one would try a breakthrough that can call a Heavenly Tribulation in this place. Dima, for example, went to a remote region where no one would be affected during his time.
However, Krune's mouth twitched right after. He totally understood why a tribulation was coming for him. That's because other than the Tribulation Clouds, Krune could feel another type of law inside there. In the end, he couldn't hold back as he cursed.
"Damn you, Calamity Laws! You knew that trying to target me or my Karma and Destiny wouldn't work anymore. You knew that I would stop you if you came for me! Since you couldn't act directly on me, you influenced the God Realm's Heavens instead to send me a Tribulation, didn't you?"
Dima, Roben, and Zap were taken aback. Following that, they spread their Divine Senses into the clouds, and sure enough, they could feel a familiar presence. It was the same black clouds that Krune used while Awakening Equipment Spirits.
Of course, even though Krune said all of that, it was not like the Calamity Laws would answer him... or so they all thought.
"Oh?! Did you notice? Anyway, enjoy your Tribulation! Hahaha!"
Krune almost vomited blood after hearing that! The Calamity Laws... had sentience!
"FUCK YOU!!!"
Fortunately for Krune, he didn't have to care about paying off his debt anymore. With that said, he focused on awakening the Spirits of equipment at his level and cultivating. With that, Krune broke through the 8th Stage ten months later. Following that, he broke through to the 9th Stage a year after.
