The clone moving through the vacuum soon erected a barrier of Godly Energy around itself, defending against the Laws of Fire and Gravity. Through the shared thoughts, Krune figured out the laws in each sphere.
"Gravity, Fire, Earth, Force, Movement, Restraint, Light, and Sound." Krune made sure that those laws were in those spheres, muttering in the end, "There's quite a lot of them. Then again, only the Laws of Gravity and Fire are the most concentrated. The rest aren't as great."
The sphere formed by the Law of Gravity was positioned in the center of all the spheres. Because of that, it was the biggest. It was then followed by the Law of Fire and Earth. Beyond that, the remaining law cl.u.s.ters weren't so pure. Unsurprisingly, they were tiny and, at times, interacted with the others.
With that, Krune was only interested in the laws of Fire, Gravity, and Earth. As for the rest, he didn't wish to take them since they served no practical use to him. Only as pure cl.u.s.ters would they complement his comprehension speed of the respective laws.
As the clone moved towards the center, its Godly Energy expenditure became massive as some of the radiation began to pierce through its defenses and damage its body. Thankfully, it could recover by expending some Godly Energy.
After all, the goal was to reach the spheres and grab them. If it was destroyed before that, then all his efforts would have been for naught. With that in mind, Krune wasn't bothered too much about the Godly Energy expenditure.
The clone soon arrived at the center as it fished out a storage ring. Having taken on his human form, it reached out towards the sphere of fire with its hand, having covered it with enough Godly Energy after activating the Laws of Fire and Ice. The ice protected the insides, while the fire formed the outermost layer, using the dissipation of heat to counter the radiation slamming onto it.
This way, it could resist the temperatures and prevent itself from collapsing. The hand with the ring soon arrived before the sphere of fire as it was activated, causing a formless activation of the laws of space.
The sphere of fire was wrapped around by the Laws of Space in an effort to drag it into the storage ring. This was the first time Krune felt so much resistance from an item. Usually, putting an object in a storage space and taking it out took only a single thought.
But now, it was as if he was physically carrying a heavy boulder, trying to stuff it through a narrow window. It wasn't fitting. No matter how much the clone activated the storage ring, the sphere of fire failed to budge.
All it did was tremble in place a couple of times before becoming still. The clone then focused on the tiny law spheres, trying to store them, only to find out that they behaved the same. They didn't budge from their spots at all.
The clone then focused on the sphere of gravity, realizing that it was the culprit that prevented it from storing the other spheres of law. After all, the Laws of Gravity could affect the Laws of Space. So, they were inter-connected.
The clone then tried to pull in the sphere of gravity, feeling even more difficulty in doing so. The Laws of Space in the storage ring were too inferior to affect it. Fortunately, Krune realized the issue immediately. All the storage rings he had were of inferior quality.
Most of them were those he had haphazardly forged without much experience in the God Realm. Therefore, they couldn't pull in objects with tremendous 'spatial weight' like the spheres of law cl.u.s.ters.
'There's only one place with enough laws of space,' Krune thought to himself as he gulped, feeling somewhat nervous thinking that he was going to use his subspace as an experiment. It was definitely bound to be incredibly risky, not to mention scary.
After all, all the Pseudo-Wisps were currently inside it. A single misstep would kill them all, leading to him becoming stranded in the rock, no longer able to escape. As long as the Godly Energy in the Pseudo-Wisps didn't escape from his subspace, he could still use them.
Then again, that didn't mean the risks weren't there. If the spheres of law cl.u.s.ters absorbed all the Godly Energy, then they would cause a fiery hell in his subspace. That would prevent him from making use of it until he figured out a way to salvage the situation.
Just when the clone was about to act on the sphere of gravity using the subspace, it stopped. Krune had backed out, unable to come up with a good plan. He didn't want to risk his life so soon. Besides, he had no reason to do so. After all, neither his life was threatened, nor was he pressed for time to grow stronger.
He was only here for the experience. Embarking on something that would definitely destroy his acc.u.mulation wasn't something he d.e.s.i.r.ed.
"I can return here whenever I please and retrieve them," Krune muttered sometime later, followed by a sigh, "After all, I only need to expend a Pseudo-Wisp's worth of Godly Energy to reach the center from the surface of the sea of lava."
To be honest, it was a wise decision. Krune couldn't determine the extent of the damage he would have to suffer by taking in the spheres of law cl.u.s.ters. He had to pursue efficiency. After all, in order to improve, if he destroyed all his current acc.u.mulation, the backlash would send his progress backward.
By the time he managed to recover from it, the reason he had tried to obtain it in the first place would seem pointless. As long as he comprehended it normally, it might even surpass the extent achieved by going through all the danger.
And besides, if he was stronger and his subspace was more robust, he could handle the aftermath.
"I will be here for 10 years anyway. In the latter half of my journey, I should be strong enough to handle this." Krune shook his head as the clone retreated from the hollow area, arriving before the chamber he was in.
After gathering his bearings, Krune looked at the clone that had turned into the earthworm-type demon beast from before. Moreover, its size had become a tad larger, the limit for its current cultivation.
At present, there was only Krune and the clone in the area. The clone opened its mouth and swallowed Krune, settling him within its belly. It then wriggled a couple of times to adjust its body, allowing it to travel with ease while not damaging Krune too much.
Krune had shielded himself with a thick layer of Godly Energy to not be affected by the earthworm-type clone's stomach acids. Besides, he wasn't a fan of being covered in goo. That was a big no for him.
As he protected himself and adjusted well within the clone's stomach, it soon began to slither, heading vertically downward from the chamber. And just like before, once it arrived before the sea of lava, it changed shape into the whale-type demon beast.
It then swam through the sea of lava, shielding itself from the lava while its Godly Energy was constantly siphoned. Krune noticed how the lava was churning more violently as compared to before. Since after it absorbed Godly Energy from the clone, parts of the lava had become sentient.
It was attributed to the fact how streams of lava slammed onto the clone from time to time, intending to shred its protection apart and devour all the Godly Energy inside it.
Thankfully, Krune could deal with it. All he did was summon a Pseudo-Wisp and cause it to dissipate, making the Godly Energy inside the Pseudo-Wisp stream into the clone, replenishing its reserves to full capacity. He also ensured to make the Pseudo-Wisp resemble the clone in terms of body structure and meridian structure so that the clone could absorb all the Godly Energy instantly.
This was possible because, at the end of the day, all of them were just clones of himself.
Streams of lava did slam onto the clone from time to time, sending it reeling away in an effort to make it stay within the sea of lava for a longer duration. Unfortunately for the lava, Krune didn't relent, continuing to focus as the clone swam through all obstacles, eventually reaching the surface.
It then turned into a heavy demon beast with wings, one that had a lot of lift but wasn't able to sustain flight for long. Using this form, the clone barely managed to escape from the sea of lava.
Tongues of lava exited as flames while some of it churned, exiting like ribbons as they slammed onto the clone, latching onto it to drag it back within the lava.
The clone unleashed a powerful gust of wind and gravity, pushing away the ribbons of lava in an instant. It then emitted a dense stream of freezing energy, barely hardening part of the lava's surface layer. Using the chance it gave itself, it took flight as it increased its altitude before the hardened surface melted.
The lava splashed as what seemed similar to a tentacle exited from it, heading straight towards the clone. The clone's body shone with the rainbow light as it erected numerous platforms of Godly Energy underneath its wings and claws, changing its inherent structure to resemble a foreign cultivator.
Every time it slammed into the platforms, the repulsive force sent it reeling up, accelerating it greatly at the expense of its body's structural integrity. It was getting destroyed with every hit, but its momentum continued to increase rapidly, barely managing to escape the reach of the lava tentacle. It was really a fight against time there.
The lava tentacle failed to grab hold of it as it crashed back into the sea of lava, causing a splash before the entire place returned to normalcy.
The clone changed form once again before increasing the speed of its flight, soon reaching the floating island as it observed it from atop. The entire floating island was barren and filled with rocks. To experiment, Krune intended to extend his Divine Sense until it encompassed the floating island.
Sadly, the Calamity Laws warned him immediately, making him curse as he looked around, "Damn it. So you're telling me all the rocks in this region are the same." He couldn't help but curse out loud.
Krune noticed the numerous floating islands in the region, paling as he felt restricted, no longer able to use any Godly Energy in fear it would birth even more monstrosities from the land.
The clone moving through the vacuum soon erected a barrier of Godly Energy around itself, defending against the Laws of Fire and Gravity. Through the shared thoughts, Krune figured out the laws in each sphere.
