Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 301 Mo-Mother?

The next day finally arrived, and Cinty was finally back. In fact, she had never left, it was just that she wanted to finish her cultivation seclusion first.

"So, are you ready?"

Krune nodded.

"I already got enough Spirit Stones, so I should have no problem in entering the Divine Soul Realm."

Cinty nodded.

"Good, I already reserved the tribulation field for you, so there will be no other soul around."

Since the tribulation field was on the Wisp World as well, Cinty's was able to open a spatial gate connected directly there. She is, after all, a Void Breaking Realm wisp.

The night before, Krune had already discussed with Light Spirit how they would move his Tribulation Lightning Source. The same one where his soul is deposited. Light Spirit told him that he only needs to make sure to crack open his core. He will take care of the rest and move the Tribulation Lightning on his own. Krune and light Spirit had already decided to keep the Source in the center of the planet together with Krune's soul, so Krune could keep having an easier time using it.

Once they arrived in the field, Krune gave Feifei a kiss and moved far away.

The tribulation field was in complete lockdown, so only Feifei, Krune, and Cinty were present at the moment. Cinty did that just to make sure that nothing wrong would happen. After all, she knows that krune's Divine Soul is different.

Once Krune found a place he liked, he took several hundred Spirit Stones out and then returned to his Wisp Form, colorful as ever.

"Alright, so the first step is to crack open the Elemental Core using waves of Spiritual and Elemental Source Energy attacks. Then let's start."

Krune started to absorb the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Stone and converge them in a single point. After that, he struck the shell of his Elemental Core.

Of course, barely any change happened. Krune didn't mind, though. He knew that to crack his Elemental Core, he would need to repeat this process hundreds if not thousands of times. The important point here was to not stop. He has to keep striking his core to not give it time for healing.

Krune continued to send one attack after another. Around the 300th time, he finally noticed some change in the Elemental Core Shell.

'It's finally loosening up. Let's continue.'

400 times.

500 times.

600 times.

Somewhere around 600 and 700 attacks, Krune finally saw a crack appear on the Elemental Core. From that point on, every attack enlarged that crack a bit. Krune then started to use even more Spiritual Energy. The cracks kept spreading, and by the 900th attack, the entire Elemental Core was covered in it.

'Chance!'

Krune gathered a large amount of Spiritual and Elemental Source Energy at once and used it all in a single mighty strike. Finally, his core was cracked open!

'No, it didn't just crack open, this...'

Krune was right. From what he heard from Feifei and the others, the core would break open in half, and the Divine Soul would come out while absorbing the entire power of the core into it. But his Elemental Core-Shell was blasted into pieces!

Just as Krune was getting worried for his Divine Soul that was inside, he heard a warning from Light Spirit.

"Dodge!"

At some point, all the pieces of the Elemental Core shot at his own soul. Fortunately, this place is Krune's Foundation, so he had control over almost everything in it, including his own soul. In that split of a second, Krune's soul disappeared from its place and reappeared on the other side of his planet core.

One must remember that Krune made his planet core's space quite big so that he could also keep his own soul there together with his Elemental Core.

Suddenly, Krune saw some kind of Purple Lightning Ball approaching him. It only took him a moment to know that that was Light Spirit's Tribulation Lightning Source.

Krune then looked at the Elemetal Core Pieces that attacked him and was taken aback. He could feel that those pieces were full of Tribulation Lightning and Elemental Source Energy. If he was hit by that, it would be a miracle if he didn't die straight away. They were on a completely different level from the time when he used Tribulation Lightning to temper his soul.

"Light Spirit, what is happening here?"

Light Spirit immediately replied.

"I'm damned if I knew! The moment that your core was blasted open, something other than your Elemental Meridians touched my Tribulation Lightning Source. Whatever it was absorbed an enormous amount of my power, which is now being used in those Elemental Core-Shell pieces."

Krune then used his Divine Sense to check and finally noticed what was happening.

"The Divine Soul Egg... No, it doesn't look like an egg anymore."

Krune was right, the egg form of his Divine Soul disappeared. Now it was nothing more than a big agglomeration of colored Elemental Source and Soul Energy. Krune had asked Cinty and the other Divine Soul Realm wisps before how the Divine Soul looked like, and all of them said that they looked just like themselves. But other than the energy like appearance, Krune's Divine Soul was nothing like a wisp at all!

It was then that he noticed that in the center of those energies, something was floating. Still, Krune quickly understood what that thing was.

"So that is the so-called Heavenly Fragment of the Heavenly Core."

Krune then looked at the Elemental Core-Shell pieces.

"The Elemental Core Pieces are connected to it through very thin treads. It is those treads that are giving them the Elemental Source and Tribulation Lightning energy. But, how come my Divine Soul is attacking my Main Soul?"

Light Spirit promptly replied.

"No idea, I have never heard about a Divine Soul attacking the Main Soul. No, wrong. I did hear about it in the past, but those were fully developed Divine Souls, and their owners were far above the Divine Soul Realm as well. But this one has just been born, how come it has enough intelligence to start an attack?"

"First of all, Divine Souls should be under the total control of their Main Souls. Those Divine Souls that I talked to you about were exceptions. That's because their owners tried some kind of bullshit with them, and they turned out hostiles. At least, those were the cases. A divine Soul acting on its own against the Main Soul without reason has never happened before as far as I know."

Krune and Light Spirit's conversation seemed to take a long time. But, the two of them are connected through the Tribulation Lightning power inside Krune's soul. That means that all those words were exchanged in just a split of a second. It is not a mistake to say that it is even faster than Divine Sense Messages.

Krune noticed that those shell pieces coming at him again, and he used his control over his foundation to move his soul once more. Now that he is aware of the danger, even his Divine Soul would have a very hard time to do something against him. Krune also did the same with Light Spirit's Tribulation Lightning Source. Usually, he wouldn't be able to control that Source, but since Light Spirit is allowing it, he can do that now.

"Light Spirit, in the end, what did those guys who lost the control over their Divine Soul do?"

Light Spirit simply answered.

"No idea, I've never passed through such a problem, so I never cared about them either."

Krune pondered for a second and then sent a Divine Sense Message over.

"Hey, you! Can you hear me?"

Light Spirit was taken aback.

"Are you trying to talk with it? It was just born, you know? Even if its sentience is evolved enough to attack you, your Divine Soul definitely isn't old enough to have the intelligence necessary to start a conversation. It is most likely just attacking you based on Instinct."

Suddenly, Light Spirit and Krune heard a childish voice.

"Instinct your head! I'm not using Instinct!"

Light Spirit heard that and was lost at words for a moment.

"You can talk?!"

Krune couldn't care less about that, though.

"Since you can understand me, can you explain what you are doing? How come my Divine Soul became my enemy out of nowhere?"

The voice then replied with a crying tone.

"Because you broke mother!"

Krune and Light Spirit were taken aback.

"Mo-mother? What mother? Are you talking about the Elemental Core?"

The childish voice seemed to get angry and replied.

"Stop talking about mother like she is an object! Mother is the one how nurtured me! Now that you broke mother, I will get revenge together with her. Mother would definitely be happy if she knew that I used her pieces to teach you a lesson!"

Krune and Light Spirit didn't know what to say anymore. His Divine Soul has sentience, but its intelligence is obviously at a kid's level. How is he even going to resolve this situation?

"Krune, your Main Soul should be linked to your Divine Soul when it is born, can't you use it to control that?"

Krune felt helpless.

"I'm trying, but he is rejection all commands that I'm sending over. I can't use the power of the Divine Soul at all!"

Suddenly, Light Spirit exclaimed.

"Not good!"

Krune was puzzled for a second, but then, he started to feel the presence of a very familiar thing.

"What?! The tribulation is coming down too?!"
