Zamuria Continent, at the capital of the empire, the royal palace was currently in chaos. That was because two delegates had calmly made an entry, spurting the powerhouses of the Zamuria Empire to take action.
It was Krune and Zamura, accompanied by Boldak. Even though Boldak was an equipment spirit, its aura at the Primal God Realm was of no question, alerting the Zamuria Empire.
The Emperor personally made an appearance, wondering just who had arrived with such an imposing entry. Upon seeing Zamura, he felt odd for some reason before his face scowled, "You!"
"You're still alive?" he grunted in anger.
"Why are you angry, old fart?" Zamura smirked casually. "Even I don't bear a grudge against you. So why the hell are you behaving like a teenager?"
"Good. I was searching for you all along ever since Zamuria vanished." He was just about to take action when Boldak glared at the other party, causing him to restrain himself.
Seeing as to how such a powerful figure accompanied Zamura, the Emperor wanted to probe the foundations of his backer.
"Are you interested in a trade that'll help you become stronger?" Krune took the chance to ask, behaving nonchalant, sporting an expression of unbridled arrogance, not showing respect to anyone, not even placing them under his eye.
Everything was scripted, though, as Krune and Zamura had already prepared everything beforehand.
Among the three continents, they finally decided on Zamuria Continent to support. Even though Zamura and the Seamstress originated from the other continents, the Mountain Sect's foundation was the Sub-Realm located in the Four Sectors Border Region, which was present in the Zamuria Continent.
So, they didn't wish to make things difficult for them. Moreover, Zamura and Zamuria belonged to the Zamuria Empire's royalty. So, if they solved prior grudges, they could establish a powerful connection between each other and gain a strong ally.
With that in mind, they arrived to negotiate. At the start, Zamuria and Feifei had volunteered to do so, clearly having the confidence to complete the mission successfully.
However, there were two obstacles to their plan, named Krune and Zamura. With such an interesting situation before them, why would they not take the chance upon themselves to explore and make a mess of establish relations with others, right?
With that in mind, after a lot of fighting, begging, and so on, Krune and Zamura reigned victorious, proudly arriving at the Lawless Plains of the Zamuria Continent.
After that, they traveled towards the capital, recalling the past when they had traveled in the same fashion.
Now that he thought about it, their first meeting was incredibly odd. However, Krune didn't pay it any heed, thinking that he had only attracted another weirdo. It wasn't the first time he had done that. Heck, even Feifei, at one point in time
Krune shuddered for some reason, dropping that line of thought as he continued to travel with Zamura.
Once they reached the capital, such a scene ensued. Right as the tension in the air continued to spike, Krune's nonchalant arrogance broke the flow as the Emperor and other dignitaries glared at him.
Upon seeing his expression of arrogance, they seethed in anger. "A mere Semi-God Realm ant dares to"
"Hey, hey, hey, this grandpa is cultivating from scratch for the tenth time after reaching the peak. Do any of you dolts dare do so?" Krune snorted, casually putting on an expression as if he had seen through everything.
His role was pretty much to behave as a wisecrack that was overpowered among his Realm.
Before a dignitary could rebuke him, Krune pointed at a God Trial Realm cultivator. "Hey you, brat from a bratty mother, let me mop the floor with you."
"Hmph, you shouldn't overestimate yourself." The God Trial Realm cultivator Krune pointed at snorted as he stepped forward. "Let this grandpa show you the true meaning of mopping the floor."
"Well, this should show you the clear difference between us." Zamura laughed, waving his hand, motioning for everyone to make some space, "Let's discuss after this."
"Hmph." The Emperor snorted, silently communicating with the God Trial Realm cultivator, commanding him to kill Krune.
With that, the initiative of whatever discussion that would happen next would fall in their favor.
Krune and the God Trial Realm immortal took to the skies, hovering a hundred meters away from one another.
Krune gazed at the God Trial Realm cultivator with a condescending gaze, raising his hand just when the other party was about to make a move. "Wait!"
"What? Are you scared now?" The God Trial Realm cultivator smirked as he asked.
"Are we going to establish some rules? Or is it a deathmatch?" Krune asked.
"Are you afraid of a deathmatch?" The God Trial Realm cultivator snorted in response.
"Oh, I'm fine with that," Krune replied nonchalantly. "I was afraid your side would bawl their eyes out at your death, that's all."
"You!" The God Trial Realm cultivator expressed anger, condensing Godly Energy in his palms to unleash an attack when Krune raised his hand once again.
"Wait!"
"What is it now?" The God Trial Realm cultivator grunted in anger, stopping his attack abruptly.
"Have you prepared your revival means?" Krune asked. "Don't make your death futile."
"I did!" the God Trail Realm cultivator cursed aloud, beginning to attack until...
"Wait!" Krune did the same once again.
"What the heck?" The God Trial Realm cultivator wished to rip apart his hair in frustration, "What is it now?"
"Oh, I'll give the first attack to you." Krune smiled as he said that. "Now, come to daddy."
"Screw you!" The God Trial Realm cultivator bellowed in anger as his body erupted with Godly Energy, directly activating his trump card as he rushed at Krune.
But suddenly, when he neared Krune, his imposing momentum vanished as an expression of shock appeared on his face. He noticed that he wasn't able to use Godly Energy anymore, turning into a helpless being.
"Be a little smarter next time." Smirking in response, Krune took out his Pestlor, increased it in size and smacked the God Trial Realm cultivator, destroying his body, directly killing him in the process.
"Done. He was pretty weak," Krune muttered casually, storing his Pestlor as he gazed at the Emperor, saying, "Maybe I should have fought someone at the Elementary God Realm instead?"
