The First Store System



Chapter 1385: Breakthrough and New Beginnings(16)

Time was a stream that kept flowing without any obstruction, and around nine months had passed for Laney since she stepped into the True God stage.

Her cultivation hadn't seen any change since the time was too short, but her strength had grown.

***

It was sunset in Thorr and its nearby cities, so Aakesh was going to close the door but found Laney waiting at the door.

Looking at Laney's expression, Aakesh understood she was ready to move. Aakesh called her inside, and after talking with Laney, he turned out to be correct in what he thought.

"Big Brother, I am going to conquer the Greyat Kingdom," Laney stated.

Aakesh simply nodded. Laney knew more about the Greyat Kingdom than him since he wasn't allowed to help in any way once Laney began her campaign.

Aakesh simply wished her well on her campaign, and she then left for her journey.

***

The Greyat Kingdom was the third Kingdom south of the Fawkes Kingdom. The Kingdom had two True Gods in its midst.

The current King of the Greyat Kingdom was the first True God and had recently stepped into the intermediate True God level, while the second True God was the crown prince.

Laney didn't lack in comparison to the Kingdom since she also had the help of True God level Hanswan in her camp. After leaving the store, she immediately went to the travel junction.

It didn't take long for her to find a spot to travel to Fera, the capital city of the Greyat Kingdom.

***

Laney didn't hide her aura as she stepped out of the travel junction. Her eyes were calm while she looked across the scene with an expression of judgment.

Fera City was established near the top of a gigantic mountain, while the entire Greyat Kingdom was spread across the mountain. Despite being near the top, the silhouette of a tall peak could be seen by any of the city's residents.

The sudden presence of a True God in the capital city alerted the royal palace, forcing the crown prince to appear in front of Laney.

"What business does my lady have with the Greyat Kingdom?" Greis asked. His tone contained neither respect nor disrespect for Laney.

Since Laney was a True God at the same level as him, he couldn't disrespect her. At the same time, she was also an intruder who appeared without any information; she deserved no respect.

Laney didn't even have to answer Greis since one of the guards knew her. Laney wasn't a nobody in the store, so those who had become regulars knew about her.

The guard went respectfully to Greis and told him about Laney. Greis had heard about the store and had even gone there, but he hadn't been to the store for the past two decades due to his father's breakthrough.

While his father was in meditation for the breakthrough, the son acted as the caretaker of the Kingdom. Once Greis found out about Laney's popularity and deeds in the store, his tone turned slightly respectful.

But since Laney's sudden presence inside the Kingdom wasn't something either he or his father desired, he asked Laney about the reason for her visit.

"I am here to conquer this Kingdom," Laney replied, shocking those who heard her.

For one moment, Greis thought he heard wrong, but when Laney suddenly made her move and grabbed him by the throat, he understood that he had heard things correctly.

The Greyat Kingdom was located on a mountain, so its terrain was extremely harsh due to its rocky surroundings. What prompted Laney to choose the territory despite that was the resource-rich mountain top.

No one from the Greyat Kingdom lived on the mountain's summit since it had its own ecosystem with animals ranging from Divine Transformation to True God. Even the presence of Lesser God level beasts were rumored to be present there. Since the value of the resources wasn't much considering the risk involved in claiming them, no major Kingdom or Empire on the planet tried to conquer the peak.

Laney, on the other hand, was different from them. She didn't want her first territory to be mediocre, and at the same time, she couldn't choose something strong since that would harm her more than help. The Greyat Kingdom and the unconquered peak above it were the perfect solutions to her problems, so she chose the Greyats as her target.

What Laney didn't know was that as soon as she stepped into Fera City, a creature suddenly looked down at the travel junction from the peak.

***

"What are you doing?" Greis asked in shock as he tried to make Laney lose her grip.

Laney was powerful but wasn't that strong to instantly eliminate someone like Greis, who had been at the early True God level for tens of thousands of years.

Gries succeeded in making Laney let go of his throat, but before he could celebrate his freedom, a wave of unbearable pain hit him. The next moment, he fell unconscious. Laney then grabbed Greis and flew in the direction of the royal palace.

Laney suddenly sensed extreme danger to her life, so she stopped and looked above her. The next moment, she saw a shocking scene as a gigantic mouth filled with sharp teeth bit down on her.

Laney immediately pulled her down and threw the man in her hand. The next moment, she saw Greis getting ripped into numerous pieces and then devoured by the mouth. Not even a drop of blood fell.

It wasn't the end since she could sense that she was the target of the mouth. At the same time, an angry roar rang in Fera City, and a wave of intense pressure emerged, its source being the royal palace.

Sheis, the King of the Greyat Kingdom, sensed the death of his son. As he released his aura in anger, earthquakes erupted in the city, causing mass destruction.

Not long after, the sound of something tearing through the air rang and only stopped where Laney and the mouth were. Sheis's eyes rained fire after he sensed the mouth to be the source of his son's death. He noticed Laney but ignored her since she was only at an early True God level.
