Is that a Wisp?

Krune, Sterlena, and Gegrafikan entered the portal to the Kun Realm, returning to the Kun Realm.

The Mong Realm Gods saw them leaving, not caring beyond that. They were too weak to participate in this fight anyway.

Plus, even if the Mong Realm Gods wished to kill them, considering the fact that this situation was wholly due to those three, they already had too much on their plate fighting the Gods from the other realms.

So, the trio that had instigated everything returned to the Kun Realm safe and sound.

"Wally, are you ready?" Krune asked the moment he arrived.

"Yeah, I've been making preparations," Wally replied. "I just finished healing my injuries. I'm feeling damn great right now."

"Then, let's get going, shall we?" Krune smiled, opening the entrance to his subspace as Wally, Sterlena, and Gegrafikan entered it. This was the only party that was heading out. The rest were necessary to protect the Kun Realm in Wally's absence.

As to what they were doing?

Of course, it was to reclaim their fourth Key.

"Help me, Little Cally," Krune said as he brought out a clone before entering the subspace.

"No worries," Little Cally replied as it helped the subspace move through a spatial tunnel, bringing it into the Mong Realm.

Dolnak-Duk-Dak!

This was one of the most important locations in the Mong Realm, a supercontinent where the Mong Realm Champion was said to have been born.

Of course, this was also where Krune had been hiding for around eight years, silently concocting his plans.

The reason he had selected this place was that this was where his Soul Needle was pointing when he looked for the fourth Key.

One of Krune's clones was seated in the single bedroom apartment like usual when the subspace arrived within its body.

Krune and the trio exited the subspace as Wally looked around, nodding. "So this is the Mong Realm."

He then gazed at Krune and asked, "So, where's the Key?"

"Here," Krune said, pointing downward.

"Is it sealed underground?" Wally frowned.

"No, it's in their Underworld Realm," Krune clarified. "Or, to be more exact, it's in the very core at the bottommost place of the Mong Realm. That's where the Mong Realm Spirit has stored all the Keys."

"Why are the Keys in the Mong Realm Spirit's hands?" Sterlena asked in confusion. "Shouldn't their Champion, as the God King, have such things?"

"It's because it's safer for the Mong Realm Spirit to have them," Krune replied. "After all, a God in the God Realm would need to pay a price to descend down into the lower realms. This rule applies to every realm."

"Conversely." He smiled as he continued, "You can also think of it like the laws restricting us is stronger the lower the realm we go. So, the lower it is, the safer it should be against anyone that tries to steal it. On the other hand, the Mong Realm Spirit can casually bring it out when needed."

"Moreover, it's the Mong Realm Spirit that takes charge to open a passage into other realms using the Keys," Krune spoke.

"I see, so this is where I come in." Wally nodded in understanding.

Of course, as the Wisp God, he was able to bypass the restrictions. In the Kun Realm, he could casually move through the realms. Similarly, in the Mong Realm, he should be able to fool the Mong Realm Spirit and bypass the layers and head to their Underworld Realm.

Since he was the one that created the Kun Soul, Wally should have the necessary means to achieve this.

"I can," Wally said as he returned to his wisp form, expanding his ethereal form to envelop Krune, Sterlena, and Gegrafikan within. Suddenly, mysterious runes of the sort formed on the surface of his ethereal form, turning into a seal of sorts. "This will protect you within my body."

"Krune, point me in the direction of the key using your Soul Needle. I won't have time to change directions during my descent. We need to be quick if we wish to fool the Mong Realm Spirit. This won't work a second time," Wally said.

"Alright." Krune also took on his wisp form, as his abilities were the strongest like this, bringing out his Soul Needle, focusing the entirety of his power into it, causing it to point in a certain direction. "I'm ready."

"Hmm…" Wally suddenly took a second glance at Krune's wisp form, muttering, "Other than the guy I see in my mirror whose appearance transcends dimensions, you'll probably take second place."

"Did you stick my picture on your mirror?" Krune asked in all seriousness.

"If I did that, I would have commented that guy as second best at most. There's a big difference." Wally spoke even more seriously.

"Maybe you're just delusional, old man." Krune snapped back. "Look at the mirror clearly next time. The guy there is actually my picture."

"In which idiotic world do you find a picture within a mirror?" Wally snorted in response. "Mirrors are a reflection of reality. And they only reflect the truth when I stand before them."

"Maybe it felt scared and showed a lie to save itself." Krune created an ethereal hand, patting Wally's golden Wisp Core. "After all, you're a God. You're scary. Of course, a puny mirror would definitely be afraid."

"That mirror was creator by the Water God." Wally retorted in response. "She's not afraid of me."

"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder." Krune almost sang aloud. "Or maybe she was blind. We can't say for sure if Gods are immune to any diseases."

"Turia is number one," Sterlena said abruptly, unable to tolerate the bickering between the two at such an hour. "The both of you can tie at second place for all I care. Now, let's get going."

"Big Sis~" Krune suddenly fawned at her after that. "The wisp territory has a protective shield that I installed recently. And only I can give permission to enter it. Not only does the place has those amazing water slides, but even those plushies… I mean, your cute wisps play there as well."

He suddenly placed a ticket in her hands, telling her, "Here, a free pass for one full year."

Cough!

Sterlena stealthily pocketed it, correcting her statement. "Krune is the most handsome wisp in existence."

'Your bribery is happening within my damn body. I can see it.' Wally controlled his annoyance, unwilling to concede his position to his bratty junior. After all, he was fully confident…

He was the most handsome wisp in existence.
