Is that a Wisp?

The God King's statement was simple. If Krune became his disciple, he would train him to become a God King, as simple as that.

Even in the Graveyard of Gods, where there were seven other God Kings, the 8th Generation God King was on a whole other level, being the sole God to have killed a Younger Generation Taotie.

And with the sole individual having the experience of killing such a powerful Taotie, he would be able to use that experience to guide Krune better into a killing machine that can destroy the Primordial Beasts.

After all, who in the greater universe was the best at killing others?

Mon-Ra-Garak!

By far, he had taken the most number of lives in all eight generations of the Greater Universe, whether in terms of the sheer number of lives or in the number of God Kings or in the number of Younger Generation Primordial Beasts.

There were other Gods specializing in various fields. But in the field of killing opponents both strong and weak, the 8th Generation God King was the peak beyond the peak.

And, despite the hatred between them, in order to protect the greater universe where his Mong Realm existed, the 8th Generation God King suppressed all emotions and wished to wholeheartedly nurture Krune.

This showed that in the face of his realm's safety, his personal emotions meant nothing to him. He would even take Krune—the worst murderer to have killed the greatest number of Mong Realm people—as his disciple.

Mon-Tu-Casha was flabbergasted at the start, for she was aware that if trained by her dad, Krune would become the most dangerous existence in the Greater Universe.

However, she quickly understood the reason for her dad's actions. After all, she was one individual. Even if she were to take advantage of the time dilation of the Graveyard of Gods to train and reach the level of her dad, she was just one person.

And against eight Primordial Beasts, she would die. If they just attacked one by one, she could somehow fend them off, given the Taotie was the final opponent.

But that would definitely not be the case.

In such a situation, every other realm would collapse one after another at an alarming pace. And even her Mong Realm might not last long.

On the other hand, by adding Krune to the mix with strength on par with her dad, it gave them more room to breathe and deal with their opponents. And during this time, the other Champions could at least hold back the other Primordial Beasts long enough for Krune or her to join the fight.

It took less than a second for Krune to process everything as well. His face was one of humiliation, unwilling to bow down to someone that had been the cause behind countless tragedies that happened in the Kun Realm and other realms.

The God King has practically killed all life on the Tilk Realm. And as nine-tenths of the Tilk Realm had become part of the Kun Realm, every time he activated his Champion state, Krune was able to partially access records of the Tilk Realm.

And every time this happened, he had to shoulder the pain expressed by the former Tilk Realm that had been invaded and destroyed brutally again and again throughout history just to loot its vast resources.

He had the confidence to grow strong on his own. After all, by remaining in the Graveyard of Gods, Luvile had grown exponentially as well. So, he could teach him…

'No, these are just excuses.' He sighed in the end, recalling the concerned figure of Feifei, one that hadn't smiled once in the past few thousand years.

The Kun Realm had been shouldering a lot of burdens. Just the war between the various realms was pressing enough. But now, they had to face eight opponents that were so strong, it seemed nigh impossible.

And with Krune's disappearance, Feifei would have been terrified, worried sick by now, as her burdens would only increase.

'Does my pride matter here?' Krune thought for a moment, his eyes reddening as he closed his eyes, inhaling a deep breath as he clenched his hand into a fist before gradually relaxing it. 'No, it does not. The Kun Realm's safety and security matter the most. Feifei, Fie, big sis Sterlena, Kulla, Kuttul, Relena, Hazak, and every else should live happy lives.'

'And for that, paying the price of my pride is nothing.' Krune concluded his thoughts as his knees slowly buckled.

"Krune…" Luvile stared at Krune's actions, feeling suffocated as his body trembled, unable to watch the scene as he covered his eyes. His cheeks were washed by the warm tears his eyes shed, while the Kun Realm Gods turned heads, unable to endure staring at the scene.

Had it only been a Kun Realm God, it would have been humiliating. But the one that did this was Krune, their Champion, signaling their defeat, even though there was no way the current Kun Realm could be defeated by the Mong Realm.

It was because things had changed. And hence, Krune had to do it.

"T-This…!" Mon-Tu-Casha stared at Krune's kneeling figure, for some reason feeling sad. The fact that Krune kneeled on the ground to accept becoming the God King's disciple just went on to show the terrifying nature of the Primordial Beasts.

It had to be noted that she was birthed three years after Krune killed her brother. So, for all her life, she grew up building hatred towards Krune, the enemy that had taken the most lives of the people in her Mong Realm.

He was her fated enemy, the one whose head she would sever in the future to obtain a flawless victory.

But suddenly, the target of her hatred swallowed his and bowed. It was something she was unable to digest, 'He could have just been the enemy!'

She gritted her teeth, announcing aloud, "I'll kill all the eight Primordial Beasts. And once I do…"

She pointed at Krune, bellowing while expressing all her piled-up hatred, "I'll kill you, Krune!"

"Just you wait!"
