The dimensional portal crackled with electric energy as Jin Ho stepped through the swirling vortex. The moment his feet touched the crystalline lightning ground of the Thunder Realm, a familiar surge of power coursed through his veins—but something felt different.
"What the—" Jin Ho staggered, his hand instinctively reaching for his chest where the three Demon Lords resided. The amplification was there, unmistakable and powerful, but it wasn't the overwhelming 5x surge he'd experienced in the Blood Demon Realm.

"Only three times?" Jin Ho muttered, disappointment flickering across his face. After experiencing the godlike sensation of 5x amplification, this felt almost... limiting.
"Foolish human," Blood Heaven Great Emperor's voice echoed with aristocratic disdain. "You measure power by numbers alone? In the Thunder Realm, amplification isn't about raw force—it's about connection."
Thunder Lightning King's consciousness stirred with excitement. "Oh ho! Jin Ho, you're thinking about this all wrong! Watch the lightning around us—does it look normal to you?"
Jin Ho looked up at the eternal thunderstorm that dominated the realm's sky. Purple and gold lightning danced between floating islands of crystal, but as he focused, he noticed something extraordinary. The lightning bolts weren't just electrical discharges—they were weaving between dimensions, creating temporary bridges between distant spaces.
"The lightning... it's cutting through space itself," Jin Ho whispered in awe.
"Exactly!" Thunder Lightning King practically vibrated with enthusiasm. "In the Blood Realm, your power overwhelms everything. But here? Here, your power connects everything. Feel it, Jin Ho—the 3x amplification isn't making you stronger, it's making you more connected to the fabric of reality itself."
Jin Ho closed his eyes and extended his consciousness. Immediately, he felt it—thousands of electrical pathways stretching across the realm, each one a potential bridge to anywhere else. The Thunder Realm wasn't just a place of storms; it was a dimensional hub where space itself could be manipulated through lightning.
"Incredible," he breathed. "I can sense every lightning bolt, every electrical current in the entire realm. It's like... like having a thousand eyes and a thousand hands all at once."
"Now you're beginning to understand," Blood Heaven Great Emperor said with approval. "The Blood Realm grants dominion through overwhelming force. The Thunder Realm grants dominion through infinite connection. Both have their place in the cosmic order."
A massive thunderclap echoed across the realm, and Jin Ho felt the urgency of his mission return. Through his enhanced electrical senses, he could perceive the corruption eating away at the realm's foundations—dark spots where the lightning couldn't reach, void-touched areas that resisted all electrical connection.
"Eleven hours," Jin Ho said grimly, reading the corruption spread patterns. "That's how long this realm has before complete dimensional collapse."
"Then let's not waste time talking about power levels," Thunder Lightning King declared. "Time to show you what 3x amplification really means in my domain!"
Lightning began to dance around Jin Ho's body, but unlike the wild electrical storms he'd controlled before, this felt precise, controlled, purposeful. Each bolt was a thread in a vast web that connected him to every corner of the Thunder Realm.
"Alright," Jin Ho said, opening his eyes with newfound determination. "Let's see what Thunder God's power really looks like when it's properly amplified."
