"Guh!" The eight-year-old girl struggled to move, watching in anger as the Blank Law Core was within arm's reach. It was close but seemed unreachable.

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside her, commenting, "Interesting ability you've got here. As expected of someone that was able to survive a hit from me."

It was the ex-God, remaining casual, unaffected by the pressure. He did grunt from time to time but was still able to walk normally, approaching the Blank Law Core that unleashed the aura of the Elementary God Realm.

He picked it up, stored it, and walked away, saying, "Anyways, I only need this one. All the best in your endeavors."

He casually walked away after that, beginning to leave the mountain.

'Wait, I can do that.' Instantly, everyone got the same idea as all the clones erupted with all their strength and began to descend the mountain, converging at the bottom as the subspace appeared within one of them.

Everyone then entered the subspace before it appeared within the eight-year-old girl.

Taking in a deep breath, she circulated all three energies in her body, fusing them for an instant as she attained a new level of strength.

Trinity!

She then used the reinforcement from the increase in strength to open the subspace as a clone exited it, arriving a step before her.

The force instantly sent him towards the ground when the subspace flashed into his body while the entrance opened, swallowing the Blank Law Core.

'It's working!' Everyone laughed in response as the clones exited the portal one after another, taking a step forward before collapsing to the ground. Then, they condensed the portal where another clone exited it and plopped it on the ground.

In this manner, they marched forth, soon grabbing hold of all the Blank Law Cores. Then, they executed the same process in the reverse as they entered the subspace one after another, leaving the eight-year-old in the end.

In the short time when the trinity existed, she used the chance to take a step backward, now able to somewhat handle the pressure. Slowly, she descended down the mountain, becoming more and more free before sprinting down at full speed.

Soon, she let out a weak clone that opened the portal to the subspace as she entered it. The weak clone then destroyed itself, unwilling to leave behind any traces.

The weaker the clone, the fainter the traces. That's why he condensed a clone that was at the First Stage of the Mortal Rejection Realm, the lowest possible cultivation in the God Realm.

On top of that, it didn't have any hint of his abilities, a truly scrapped clone created for the sole purpose of allowing the stronger clone to escape.

As the subspace returned to him, Krune smiled, saying to Sterlena, "The Blank Law Core at the Elementary God Realm was taken by that ex-God. The rest are in my hands now. Sis, how many do you need?"

Her eyes lit up as Sterlena patted him, saying, "Good job. I never thought you were this capable. I really underestimated you."

After a moment of thought, she replied, "Give me one of three Blank Law Cores at the God Trial Realm and two at the Semi-God Realm. That's enough for me. I don't have any other good laws to take advantage of this."

"Alright," Krune replied, intending to take them out from his subspace when Sterlena stopped him in a hurry, saying

"What are you doing? Everyone would be able to feel their aura. That'll just attract more enemies towards us."

"Ah, I forgot about that," Krune smiled wryly as he replied.

'This wisp' She rolled her eyes before giving him a bit of warning. "I'll have to tell you right now. If you use either the Calamity or Balance Laws on them, it won't work. You'll just end up wasting the Blank Law Core. Anything you use on them should only consist of one law."

"Alright," he replied. "Do you want to use them now? It's for the best to strengthen ourselves further."

"Fair enough." She smiled, surprised at the subspace's portal. After a casual glance, she entered it, exclaiming from within, "This is pretty huge!"

"Of course." The eight-year-old nodded in agreement as she explained, "I've been working on this for more than a century now. So, it has expanded a lot in size."

"If I wasn't fully busy and had focused on it more, it would have become at least ten times bigger."

"Oh my, who's this adorable little munchkin?" Sterlena completely ignored her words, enveloping her in a hug as she patted her head. "Oh ho, aren't you the cutest?"

"This is one of my clones" the eight-year-old replied.

"I know, shut up." Sterlena smacked her a little. "Let me just play around a little."

She then looked at the numerous clones around her, asking in excitement, "Krune, tell everyone to return to their wisp forms now."

"Done," everyone replied simultaneously before their figures morphed, emanating a gentle blue light as their ethereal bodies flickered like fire.

They hovered in the air, slowly closing in on Sterlena that stared at the scene in silence, the images of the glowing wisps reflected in her eyes.

Slowly, her expression crumbled as she teared up. "Hic"

Even though they were all Krune's clones, they were wisps, the closest to her. Of course, the sight of such figures dancing around her in sillinessit had been too long since she had witnessed such a scene.

Forgetting about her purpose, Sterlena hugged as many wisps as her hands could hold, shedding tears, remaining in the same pose.

"Umsis?" Suddenly, the eight-year-old's wisp form tilted its head, saying, "It's getting late. I'm scared to be alone out there, like a helpless lamb amidst hyenas"

"Urgh, fine. I'll come out soon. Just give me the freaking item." She groaned, unwilling to leave the crowd, cursing under her breath, "Stupid brat!"

"I can hear you, sis."

"That was my intention."

""

Sterlena hugged a wisp on either hand, casually walking towards one of the Blank Law Cores as a silver light exited her body and entered it, instantly turning it silver.

She then used her Divine Sense, beginning to absorb the Law Core, smiling gleefully as she observed that troublesome law of hers becoming clear to her as her comprehension rose rapidly.
