Chapter 1274 - Abolition Tower Strikes Again
After all, one of his clones had committed suicide, detonating itself, just like those from the Abolition Tower.
It made absolutely no sense, instilling everyone with fear.
"Sister!" Krune shouted before hurrying towards Sterlena, informing her of the incident in a fluster. "One of my clones became a member of the Abolition Tower. How did this happen?"
"Let\'s go through everything your clone experienced," Sterlena said, frowning as she asked, "Was there any response or warning from the Calamity Laws?"
"None." He shook his head, worrying about it. "And even until the end, that clone\'s thought process was absolutely normal. There was nothing strange about it. But suddenly, it exploded. That\'s all."
He then recounted the details from the beginning, still reeling from fear.
After all, if there was a terrifying external enemy, then it was fine. He would be able to do something about it. But, this was internal. And that was one of his clones. There was no clue as to what had happened.
It was an eerie sensation, one that disoriented his thoughts.
Boom!
A tremendous sound resounded at this time as Sterlena gazed in the direction of the mountain. The soundwave from the clone\'s explosion had only now arrived at their location.
With that, there was a noticeable crater on the mountainside. Smoke billowed out, alerting all the cultivators that were there.
After all, those knowledgeable immediately understood just what had happened.
Abolition Tower!
A terrorist organization that existed everywhere in the God Realm, their methods unknown, striking abruptly. Neither their goals nor their means could be detected.
Suddenly, a wave of terror wafted throughout the group of cultivators, alarming everyone, causing their actions to become cautious.
Even the ex-God Realm cultivator was no exception, frowning as he made his way towards the crater, observing the massive crater that had formed, thinking, \'The one that exploded should have at least been an ex-God Trial Realm cultivator. That makes sense for such a massive crater.\'
The clone indeed possessed the trinity of Godly Energy, body energy, and Mental Energy. Adding onto the properties of the Deific Meridians, the explosion was tremendous.
The ex-God Realm cultivator crouched, touching the ashes at the edge of the crater, scouring through it using his Divine Sense as his expression morphed grandly, for the first time in years as he cursed, "Damn it. As usual, it doesn\'t make sense."
Of course, he knew about the Abolition Tower. Some of his descendants had become part of that, exploding as they messed up a lot of his plans in the past.
His hatred towards the Abolition Tower was inferior only to the hatred he harbored towards Wally. And that meant a lot, considering the hatred perennial beings like them possessed was permanent.
Soon after, he got up and began to scale up the mountain, understanding that there was nothing for him to investigate here. \'Once I reclaim my seat as a God, I\'ll look into the Abolition Tower.\'
"Calm down." Sterlena grabbed hold of Krune\'s shoulders, telling him, "There must be something that we\'re missing here. I know how it feels to be targeted by them. However, the one that was targeted this time is your clone, so try to think harder. What else did you feel or sense?"
"Or better yet, just replicate that clone\'s actions for me to understand," she spoke.
"Alright." Sighing in response, Krune brought out another clone, making it resemble the wide-shouldered man, making him behave just the way the previous clone did.
As for his behavior, it was the fight he went through, the dialogue he uttered, the things he touched, and so on.
However, even after observing everything, Sterlena was still unable to determine anything, sighing in defeat. After all, she had been trying to understand the Abolition Tower all her life, ever since her daughter had become one of them and exploded, destroying most of her family.
That incident also triggered the tribulations, implicating her entire race of True Spirits, causing their annihilation. So, she had used all her means and resources in an effort to investigate them, failing to gain any leads.
So, she didn\'t have any confidence in determining anything this time. Though, that didn\'t mean that she would give up, saying to Krune, "Ask Gegrafikan about it. There\'s a chance he might know. He should have been alive for millions of years already."
"I\'ll do that." Krune nodded, intending to ask the other party when he realized that there were no free clones in the Mountain Sect.
There were ten of them there, but they were all sealed by Zamura with the intent of protecting him. This way, even if someone killed him and used a method to destroy his Spiritual Incarnation, the ten clones under Zamura\'s care would survive.
That way, he would be able to revive later.
So, he didn\'t have any clones to move around as Krune sighed, saying, "I\'m unable to ask him for the time being. That\'ll have to wait until we return there."
"Hmm…" She frowned before nodding. "I guess I\'ll have to ask that guy about it. He should be able to do something about it."
"Who?" Krune asked, curious.
"The one I accompanied to the God Realm from the start of his cultivation journey." She smiled as she said, "He owes me plenty. He has a few interesting methods in his arsenal."
"We\'ll do that, then." Krune nodded before saying, trying his best to relax. "Let\'s continue hunting. Only the Law Deity Cores at the God Trial Realm and above remain."
"Fine."
…
The eight-year-old girl had begun to move once again, evading the traps constantly. From time to time, she would pass by the corpse of a cultivator that had exploded in strength at the start, only to fall under the pressure by the midpoint.
Thinking of something, she paused, slowly riling up all her strength before bursting into a ray of light, directly scaling up the mountain, enduring the rapid escalation of the pressure.
"Guh!" Grunting in pain, she suddenly dropped to the ground, no longer able to move as the pressure was just too much to bear.
It took her an entire minute just to lift her head, surprised when she noticed a Blank Law Core hovering before her.
She had reached her destination but was unable to move.
