Book 10: Chapter 158: Name (1)

The change was far too abrupt.

Nine black suns appeared in the skies. The two Ancestors didn’t understand how lucky they were that the Immortal Blood Gang array was ultimately an enclosed space, limiting the size of Dyon’s [Nine Suns of Armageddon]. However, even if they did know, they weren’t in any sort of position to be thinking about it.

Dyon’s swordplay sparked the feeling of endless fury. Like meteors streaking across the skies and crashing to the earth below, it was relentless.

The oppressive heat pervaded the blood red dome. Even with the Heaven’s Scroll suppressing much of it from reaching outward, those spectating couldn’t help but feel that their layers of skin were being scorched.

“Dad took away all the fun.” Alauna said with a pout as she floated down by Luna and Madeleine’s side.

“Selfish little girl.” Luna reprimanded her daughter with a teasing smile. “He doesn’t get to release often, while you’re always out and about causing trouble. Allow him this moment.”

Alauna pouted, clearly disagreeing with her mother’s sentiments.

“Dad doesn’t seem like he wants to kill them.” Alauna suddenly said.

Madeleine smiled. “Though he’s reconnected with his true self, that doesn’t mean he’s regressed back to his former immaturity. He can still see things far clearer than he had in the past. It’s not worth it to kill two experts on this level with such a war coming. It would be much better to turn them into protectors of our Sacharro Clan, don’t you think?”

Hearing these words, Alauna burst into a fit of laughter.

“The Sapientia and Giants won’t be very happy about this.”

“They should have thought of that before they tried to use us as a piece in their political schemes.”

Alauna remained silent. She was very much used to Madeleine’s sweet side, but there were rare occasions when she took the reins of first wife and exuded an aura unmatched by even the most prestigious of Empresses. Whenever these moments occurred, Alauna couldn’t help but look toward her with admiration.

Of Dyon’s wives, she seemed the quietest and most reserved, allowing everything to roll off her back. But if one used this to assume she wasn’t strong, you’d be making a massive mistake.

“While your father is off satiating his mid-life crisis, we women still have something to do.” Madeleine said lightly, looking toward the area that now contained just Rose and Jade.

It was time for them to come home.

“It was a success?” Junior, or rather, Dyon, smiled happily when Saru and Lilith appeared before him once more. Judging by their at ease expression, it seemed that everything worked out for the good. This was a great relief to Dyon.

He cared about Jade’s wellbeing. And, since Jade cared for Rose, he cared for her as well. It was as simple as that.

Dyon never had any thought toward Rose for her strength. The current Dyon was already stronger than she was though this clone version of himself was still lagging behind. Rather, he wanted to protect the two of them and ensure they were safe.

“Rose was a bit hardheaded at first, but everything worked out in the end. Your main body is wreaking havoc at the Nephilim Gathering, so she really had no choice but to accept it.” Lilith said with a sweet smile.

She felt that the more she looked at Dyon, the deeper she fell. It was an inexplicable feeling she couldn’t control, even though she knew it was irrational.

She wanted to know more about him. What was his favorite food? His favorite color? His hobbies? She wanted to know them all. He seemed to know so much about her, but she knew so little.

However, she buried this impulse deeply. She knew that there would be time in the future. For now, she had to become stronger. The coming trials wouldn’t be joke… Compared to them, the Ancient Battlefield that had thrown the mortal plane into an upheaval was nothing more than a blip.

Dyon sighed. “This is good. I can understand the feelings of hatred Rose has for me… I can only do right by her by helping this timeline’s Jade to rise above her former self.”

“Is Jade…” Saru hesitated, knowing Dyon likely wouldn’t want to say much on the topic. “… Is she one of us?”

Dyon didn’t need to think much to understand what Saru meant. By “us”, she was clearly referring to herself and Lilith, alluding to the odd ties between the two of them and Dyon.

Dyon smiled. “You could say so… It’s just that she was very unlucky in this life. Even if she awakens to her true self and comes to know all the good she’s done in the past even beyond her sacrifice for me in this life, she won’t be able to forgive herself. This is why I’m leaving her under Rose’s tutelage. She must leap over the barrier under her own power. My interference will only hinder her…”

Saru and Lilith looked at one another before nodding.

“Saru, I’ve already laid out the path for you. You just need to focus on circulating the special method I’ve taught you and your Faith Seed will naturally strengthen your body.

“Lilith, however… Your path is more complex. As I’ve told you, I’ve created something special for you, but it’s more accurate to say that I’ve only perfect a path you yourself created.

“You’ll refine your nascent soul into a Sword Soul.”
