Is that a Wisp?

It wasn't a surprise that Krune had changed a lot since he had arrived at the God Realm. Even though it seemed like nothing much had changed, the changes in his personality had begun the moment he obtained his Spiritual Incarnation.

After all, when he did that, he had devoured Little Cally. It was unknown what happened to Little Cally after that. However, it had never shown up the entire time. Whether it was something good or not, Krune wasn't able to guess.

In any case, he began to change after that. Then again, the change wasn't noticeable. After all, he was still a wisp in essence. No matter what, some things about him never changed.

However, everything started to change once he entered the Sub-Realm and arrived at Layer 3—Double Ocean. After being turned into a mortal, and a human at that, his control over his emotions started to change..

He turned more emotional, his mental state exaggerated, and his mindset adapted to the weakness of a mortal being. As a human, he was more prone to emotions. As such, having stayed afloat on the ocean without anyone to talk to while having to be on constant guard against the fishes strained his mind to the limit.

As if that wasn't enough, he survived for a year in the darkness of the Primary Landmass, having to hunt and eat the Monster Geckos for a living. On top of that, the most prominent thing there were the bone trees, those that absorbed the blood of living creatures to grow.

And the fact that he used them to strengthen himself was like breaking another mental restriction in himself. Eventually, pressed for survival, he went against some of his principles, killing the Monster Geckos to accumulate more power for himself.

And in retrospect, he became more coldblooded. The fact that his blood had turned cold, thanks to Frozen Blood, also ensured that he wouldn't ever be caught up in emotions like anger. Even if he felt anger, he would maintain a cool mind that was like a frozen blade, silently rending his foes apart.

Having to fight, hunt, and eat his enemies for a living, Krune had already changed a lot. After that, when he met people again, he had softened a little. During the stay in the Secondary Landmass with the Seamstress and Solare, his mind and heart had healed to a certain extent. However...Krune also came to understand that all these changes to his personality were, in fact, connected to this Sub-Realm. He knew that his and even the emotions of the other participants were, somehow, connected to this place. It's just that because he was also a wisp, he was probably the only one to notice it. Because of that, he wondered whether he would return to normal once he left this place.

After that, he just began to consider the Sub-Realm as what he had intended to at the start, a place to train himself so that he wouldn't face any blocks while cultivating in the future. Also, unwilling to spend too much time in the Sub-Realm, Krune intended to hurry through the layers and exit it soon enough.

Even though he was in a hurry, he didn't do anything rash, calmly proceeding through things as he had planned. But, everything changed when he was in a Checkpoint Turtle, intending to leave Layer 3 and arrive at Layer 2.

He heard his wife's voice. And through his Sonic Radar, he had picked up her appearance. Based on what he sensed at that time, Feifei wasn't doing well. It seemed she had been mentally drained, judging by the creases on her face and her disheveled state.

Naturally, he could clearly recall her voice. It was of one that was desperate, longing to be with him, fearful of losing him once again. It was apparent that Feifei had also been affected by the mentality of a mortal adversely. She had already been forcefully separated from Krune once they arrived at the God Realm.

And it seemed the place she had been transported towards wasn't safe. Even after arriving at the Sub-Realm, her problems followed suit, causing her endless troubles. She hadn't said a word to him.

Nevertheless, they had lived together for more than two centuries, spiritually connected. Just based on her scream, Krune was able to picture the life she had been living, causing his heart to squeeze in pain.

Him experiencing pain was fine. It was something he was ready to face, so he didn't mind that. But, to see Feifei face the same, he didn't like that. Judging based on her strained voice then, it seemed she had led a disastrous life, surviving with the sole goal of reuniting with Krune.

But after managing to evade her pursuers time and again, she finally managed to locate Krune. Sadly, just when she was close to him, he had left the place, heading to a faraway place once again. Considering the unstable mindset she might have had then, there was a good chance she might not have been able to endure anymore.

Had she decided to take her life then…Krune was unable to imagine. Every night he closed his eyes, he was reminded of her screams, causing him to be plagued with worry. He had hoped to use the resources of the city to lay down the groundwork to treat Feifei favorably wherever she arrived at Layer 2.

However, the initial reception was bad. They tortured Krune. Raka had crunched his bones to dust as she played with him. But all along, even though the pain was unbearable, a single thought flashed in his mind constantly.

What if, Feifei was treated the same as him when she appeared in Layer 2?

It was the final straw that shattered his emotional self. At that point, Krune decided on something. No matter who it was, anyone that hindered him from reuniting with his wife, he would eradicate them, no matter who they were.

It was to the extent Krune had even changed his opinion on Soren, his friend that had separated him and Feifei. He wondered just what reason was so important that his wife had to suffer and be so emotionally damaged. He didn't like that. As for reasons, they didn't matter.

"Keuk!"

"Gurhh!"

Raka and her master screamed as ice covered their faces, growing in size until their bodies were fully encased in ice, turning them into sculptures with their eyes wide open.

Krune then gazed at the two people before him and asked, "Let me ask you this."

"Where is my tablet?"
