Is That A Wisp? Chapter 383
Advertisement
Krune came out with Feifei to receive the newcomer.
"Yo! So you finally arrived."
It was none other than Laex, the Black Dragon Divine Beast.
"Hahaha! Of course, I would come. After the price you offered, there is no way I would refuse."
Laex then looked at Feifei's belly and was taken aback.
"Hey, look at that! It seems like the two of you had quite some fun together after you came out from Mohie Zarks Inheritance. Still, that's quite a rare thing for a demon beast and a human to conceive."
Krune and Feifei smiled.
"Well, we were quite lucky. Especially since I'm a wisp."
Laex then sighed.
"As I thought. So you really are a wisp. I found it weird when you asked me to come to the Wisp's Main World."
Laex did not enter Mohie Zarks Inheritance, so he had not seen Krune in his Wisp form. After their contract was over, Laex also didn't bother looking for information about it. After all, he had already received his payment at that time, so he had no need to think about it anymore. That's just how carefree Laex is.
"Anyway, congratulations."
Krune couldn't help but say.
"You seem to accept the fact that Feifei really got pregnant with my child very easily."
Laex got puzzled.
"Feifei? Wasn't her name Fina?"
Feifei shook her head.
"That was just an alias. I also use another alias when I'm outside, so you might hear someone calling me Feier as well. Still, my real name is really Feifei, once again, nice to meet you."
Krune also added his piece.
"You can call me Krune. Darten was also a fake name. Oh, but when we are outside, try to use Jolk instead."
Laex nodded.
"Well, that is understandable. Many cultivators and demon beasts use fake names and appearances when they go to a No Laws Zone. If not because of your auras, I wouldn't have recognized you straight away. I guess what I'm seeing now is how you really look like?"
Feife and Krune nodded.
"Yeap, that's pretty much it."
Laex seemed to not be very concerned with all of that.
"That's good to know then. By the way, what did you mean with I accepted the fact that she is pregnant with your child? Are hybrids of humans and wisps very rare?"
It was then that Krune noticed. It is not like everyone would know about how hard it is for a wisp and another race to have children. Krune then explained to Laex just what were the real chances of something like that to happen.
"What?! Are you kidding me? How the hell did you get it in your first try then?"

Krune shrugged his shoulders.
"I guess I'm just lucky."
Laex then put his arm around Krune and Feifei's shoulders before suggesting.
"How about we pay a visit to the Yuggel Planet, uh?"
Krune and Feifei got puzzled.
"Yuggel Planet?"
Laex smiled playfully.
"It is a gambling planet. It is not too far, either. With your luck, we might leave that place with a fortune. Hahaha!"
Krune and Feifei remembered Cinty saying something similar to it.
Krune then looked at Laex and sighed.
"You did not spend all your payment on gambling, right?"
Laex immediately shook his head.
"Of course not, only 30% of it."
Krune's mouth twitched.
"30% is already a fortune! You should use it to cultivate."
Laex didn't mind, though.
"Who cares? The purpose of life is to be happy! Even when I lose, I'm still having fun, so why bother? Besides, I just need to make more Spirit Stones again, and that's why I'm here."
Krune and Feifei couldn't help but think that Laex and Rarol are quite similar to each other. The two of them are always laughing. The difference is that Rarol doesn't gamble... or at least they think he doesn't.
"Anyway, what is going on here? For you to show me your real names and appearance, there must be a reason for that. I'm glad that you trust me this much, but I won't be entering a death mission just because of that."
Krune nodded and then brought Laex back to his house.
"What I need from you is similar to what you did in the past. Just a guarantee that rules won't be broken. As for a reason behind our realm names and appearance, that is because Feifei believes in you."
Feifei nodded.
"I have long since used my Divination Skills. Although your cultivation is much higher than mine, I can at least tell that you would not betray anyone that treats you with respect. So I'm not the least bit afraid of you going around displaying our picture everywhere with our names under it."
Laex couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It is not every day that someone would say something like that on his face.
"Cough, cough. That's good and all, but let's go back to the main topic, shall we?"
Krune laughed and then explained everything. The only thing he left out is the fact that his group entrance in the Dalin Universe was illegal. He even told about the fact that their Universe Heavenly Fragment fight is about to start.
As for Laex mission? It is to prevent other Void breaking Realms from intervening. As long as they are not in the No Law Zones, one can't be attacked by others with cultivation realms much higher than theirs. But it doesn't mean that someone wouldn't try it. For example, if a Void breaking Realm becomes a slave for some reason, he wouldn't be able to defy the owner's order. In that case, the laws would matter little.

"I see... To think that I would see two heavenly Fragment owners together. Last time I saw one was over 5 years ago."
Krune and Feifei's attention was picked. Of course, because it was over 5 years ago, it probably meant that this owner wasn't someone from Luvile Universe.
"You have seen one before?"
Laex nodded.
"He was someone from a Universe called Jirai. At that time, he was only at the Core Formation Realm. Still, his combat power was something that I would never be able to copy when I was in the same cultivation level. I also heard about a few other Heavenly Fragment owners from other Universes that entered Dalin."
"Still, the majority would refrain from leaving their own Universe. After all, you never know what could happen when you separate yourself from your own background."
Feifei and Krune understood this part. Most likely, the only reason the others came to Dalin was that they fled here to start with.
But Laex next words left Krune and Feifei puzzled.
"It seems like everyone is already preparing for the Heavenly Competition."
Krune and Feifei had never heard about it, even from Cinty.
"What is the Heavenly Competition?"
Laex was surprised by the fact that Krune and Feifei didn't know.
"Wait, isn't that the reason why you came to Dalin Universe?"
Krune and Feifei looked at each other and shook their heads.
Krune then opened his communicator and called Cinty. Since it was just a video call, Laex wouldn't be able to tell what Realm she was, so it was fine if he saw that.
"Cinty, have you heard about something called Heavenly Competition?"
Cinty confirmed on the other side.
"Sure, what about it?"
Krune and Feifei were speechless.
"Shouldn't it have something to do with our Heavenly Fragments?"
Cinty confirmed once again.
"Yes and no. Only those who get a Heavenly Core, or better, Heavenly Divine Soul can take part in it. But you and Feifei will never give your Heavenly Fragments to the other, right? So neither of you will ever have a Heavenly Divine Soul to start with. In that case, what is the point in talking about the Heavenly Competition?"
Not only Krune and Feifei, but even Laex was also surprised by that. Of course, the reason Laex was surprised was totally different from Krune and Feifei.
"Right! How can I have forgotten this?! If you two are from the same Universe, then one of you must lose your Divine Soul so that you can get the Heavenly Fragment."
It was then that Feifei and Krune understood the crux of the issue. Since they are not doing that, then this so-called Heavenly Competition has nothing to do with them to start with. That's why Cinty hasn't told them anything.
"We are not. Be it Feifei or me, we are definitely not taking the other's Heavenly Fragment. In fact, our plan is to destroy one of them so that the other side will give up taking it."
Laex was taken aback by that.
"Is it possible to destroy a Heavenly Fragment? At the very least, I've never heard about a Heavenly Fragment being destroyed, only their owners."
Krune shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know, but it worth a try."
Feifei was still curious, though.
"Anyway. Even if we don't get a Heavenly Divine Soul, I still wish to know what this Heavenly Competition is."
Cinty sighed and then explained through the monitor.
"Well, the Dalin Universe has several Universe Powerhouses managing it. But when you put all the Universes in that we know, the Powerhouses' number can't even be considered a number at all. So if they really decide to monopolize Dalin, things might get out of control if thousands of other Universes decide to join forces to take it away from them. That's where the Heavenly Competition comes in."
Laex nodded.
"She is right. In total, there are 5 slots opened for other Universes to become one of those controlling Dalin. Also, the Heavenly Fragment Owners always appear at the same time in all the Universes. Of course, no one knows why they appear together. Anyway, as you probably know, a Heavenly Divine Soul cultivator or demon beast is considered the strongest of their own Universes. So they will be their own Universes representatives in this competition."
Cinty confirmed that Laex was telling the truth.
"That goes to show just how much of a heaven-defying treasure Dalin is considered to be. Dalin is basically the only Universe that has ever been found to have these special properties about cultivation and Laws. A Universe that is in control of Dalin is bound to get several times stronger until the next Heavenly Competition starts. So it goes without saying that everyone wants to have their Heavenly Divine Soul cultivators and demon beasts ready for it."
Cinty then repeated herself.
"Still, it has nothing to do with you. After all, you won't ever get a Heavenly Divine Soul. Remember, Havenly Fragments from other Universes are useless to you. A Heavenly Divine Core or Soul can only be completed with the Heavenly Fragments of that specific Universe."

The London Phantom: A Superhero Webnovel
London is an old city. It has survived floods, fires, plagues and the man-made smog of industry. It has stood firm against the armies of Vikings, Saxons, Normans and the aerial might of the Luftwaffe. It has borne witness to dynsatic feuds, civil wars, military occupation and the sin of regicide. Through all these disasters the city has survived not through force of arms, though its walls were once the envy of the world, but through adapting to the times. Enemies become dependant on the city, and the wealth of the world that flows through it, and so become new allies. If the rulers change, then the city welcomes them with open arms, and open lines of credit. In this way the city seeks to preserve its ancient rights and position of power. Superheroes are a new phenomenon. The first superpowered man walked out of the Nevada desert in 1950, and the world was forever changed. Across the planet, men and women with exceptional abilities made themselves known. At first, they were little more than another source of fear in the era of Mutually Assured Destruction, but over time attitudes changed and the concept of the Superhero was created in the city of Los Angeles. From there the phenomenon spread across the globe; superheroes went from being feared arms of the state to a symbol of hope in these maddening times. Times have changed. Sixty years from the emergence of the first superhero, the City of London stands on a precipice. Two years have passed since the madman Fawkes nearly brought down the United Kingdom and the remnants of the Bow Street Runners, London's premier superhero team, are struggling to keep order in a city that seems on the brink of collapse. London stands on a knife's edge, with criminal organisations that once stuck to the shadows becoming more bold, and ancient powers from myth and legend making themselves known. Alexander Laszewski has recently 'awakened' and has become entirely unremakable, effectively making himself invisible to the world. He must use his newfound power to navigate a city on the edge of collapse. If only he could figure out how to turn it off.

Winter Fire [ Book 1 ] ✔
On the second jump, Claire's bad leg gave way and she felt herself tumbling forward. A cry of surprise escaped her and Claire was certain she was about to topple off the side of the train. Alek, however, moved quickly, catching her mid-fall and keeping her upright, and alive. Claire lifted her eyes to meet his which were wide with alarm. The expression was fleeting, lasting for only a moment before it was replaced by a frown. "You could have fallen," he said pointedly."I know," Claire breathed, finding her thoughts drifting to the strong arm wrapped around her waist. A flush rose to her cheeks and she was grateful for the biting wind that masked her reaction. "Thank you.""You need to be more careful," he continued, his eyes locked on hers, bright and haunting in the silver glow of the moon overhead."I will," Claire assured him, her heart skipping in her chest. "I promise."------1st Place in the Chaos Awards2nd Place in the Mystic Awards2nd Place in the Stella Luna Awards2nd Place in the Talent Awards 2018Highest Ranking #1 In SteampunkFound on the official Wattpad Fantasy account featured reading list "Wintery Worlds"
