"It has been more than a century since I last made my mark here," Krune muttered, gazing at the bloody river.
Herakkan Delta. It was the name of the region where this battle was taking place. It was one of the widest routes between the Zamuria and Guria continents. With that, it had been selected by the Sub-Realm as the primary battlefield.
The arrival of the Mountain Sect sent waves of confusion throughout the battling groups as the groups of immortals looked in fluster. Though, upon seeing that they were on the Zamuria Continent's side, those from the continent relaxed a little.
However, it wasn't much since they were unsure of the Mountain Sect's identity, wondering from where such a force had cropped up.
As for the side from the Guria continent, they felt their heart rate spike up all of a sudden.
The higher-ups from both sides arrived before Krune, staring at them with uniform hostility. The fact that a foreign force arrived meant an infringement on their benefits.
So, they didn't wish to see such a situation happen.
'It seems the Emperor hadn't informed them of the situation. That old fart wishes to probe information about us through this way,' Krune thought as he gazed at the representatives from both continents.

"You can call me Krune." Followed by a casual chuckle, Krune introduced himself. "If you're wondering if we're from another continent or not, you can simply verify the records. Your Spirit Awakener Guild should have my details."
The Zamuria continent's representative obviously didn't like Krune's tone, but upon hearing his words, he gazed at an Elementary God that had been polishing his weapon nearby, causing the rotund cultivator to arrive immediately.
"Yes, representative?" the rotund cultivator asked.
"Is there someone named Krune in your organization?" the Zamuria representative asked.
The rotund cultivator was the Chief of the Spirit Awakener Guild, gazing at Krune as he squinted. "The one percent success rate guy?"
"Yep, that's me." Krune nodded.
"So, he's part of your organization?" The Zamuria representative glared at the rotund cultivator as if to scold him for not keeping his subordinates in check or failing to perform a proper background check on them.
"Let me verify it immediately, representative!" The rotund cultivator wiped his sweat as he hurriedly communicated using his Divine Sense, sending messages to the headquarters as he soon received a reply, saying, "We lost all records of Krune from the time the Sub-Realm opened. He was last mentioned about wishing to explore the world and train himself and made a trip to the Four Sectors Border Region."
"And along the way, all the guards sent to protect him were mysteriously killed. After that, due to the mass relocation, we didn't have the time nor spare energy to search for him," he spoke.
"So, it's due to an oversight on your part." The Zamuria representative frowned, causing the rotund cultivator's knees to almost go weak.
The Zamuria representative ignored the Spirit Awakener Guild Chief after that and gazed at the army of immortals behind Krune. "And, what about them?"
"They're a part of my Mountain Sect," Krune replied before snorting. "This is pretty annoying, old man. It was a pain to talk with your Emperor, and you're even worse than that. Just ask him. He will fill you in on the details."
"You dare raise your voice against me?" The Primal God exerted his presence when he felt a sudden chill, sensing his back covered with cold sweat. He abruptly retracted his presence and gazed up, glancing at the figure of Sterlena as he suddenly had the notion to bow before her.
Glancing at him, trying his best to resist his instinct, Sterlena observed him for a moment before saying, "You've comprehended the Metal Tusk Law to the Primal God Realm, right?"
"H-How did you find out?" The Zamuria representative felt his voice stammer without his knowledge, staring at Sterlena as he shuddered for some reason.
"You inherited the means to comprehend this rare law in a secret Sub-Realm that collapsed soon after your inheritance…" she casually spoke, still continuing to stare at the Sub-Realm that hadn't manifested itself and remained in hiding.
"How did you know that?" The Primal God was unable to hold back any longer, shouting as he expressed his shock and surprise.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Well, I made that. So, I know," Sterlena said as she closed her eyes, frowning. "Though, I hadn't thought it would still remain whole until someone inherited it. I hadn't expected that at all."
"A-Are you…the Calamity Lord?" The Primal God stammered in shock, surprise, excitement, confusion, and other various emotions for the first time in thousands of years. In short, he experienced a multitude of emotions.
"I was called that ages ago, not anymore, though. So, don't address me with that, got it?" She scolded him, barely releasing a hint of her presence when the Primal God kneeled immediately in response.
Only after a second had passed did he understand what he had done. Though he didn't feel any shame. After all, the entity before him felt unfathomable for some reason.
"Anyways, we're all part of the same continent now. Stop being long-winded, and let us join the battle. You won't be losing out on anything. Instead, you have a lot of benefits in front of you." She snorted, "It seems your Emperor brat is acting cocky."
"Emperor…brat…" The Zamuria representative shuddered at such a remark, massaging his forehead as he suddenly felt like he was aging, even though that was impossible for him.
He immediately communicated with the Emperor, sighing as he said, "The Mountain Sect is also part of the Zamuria Continent. So, we're glad to have you reinforce us."
"Well, with that done…" Sterlena gazed at Krune and nodded.
Taking out his Pestlor, Krune grinned as his figure flashed past, directly charging at a God Trial Realm cultivator before smacking him in the chest.
"T-This is…?" Even the Zamuria representative was shocked to see a God Trail Realm cultivator sent flying helplessly until he left the battlefield, continuing to fly towards the Guria continent.
