Book 11: Chapter 122: Difference (1)

Dyon slowly brandished his scythe, his gaze incomparably calm.

The Ancient Constitution was a legend that had existed since the dawn of the mortal plane. Dyon wasn’t certain of how powerful they were or even of how many there had been since the creation of this world. But, what he was sure of was that not a single one of them had ever successfully cleared the celestial realm to enter the dao realm. Their tribulations were simply too fierce.

Yet, here was Emytheus, his aura bold and imposing as though he was a son of the Heavens.

Dyon knew how powerful Emytheus must be. Even the Sky God Zeus was able to end the reign of the Titans single handedly despite being a mere celestial. How great must the battle prowess provided by an Ancient Constitution be in order to allow a celestial to push what must have been thousands of Supremes to the brink of extinction?

To make matters worse, Dyon had a bad feeling about the 12 auras circulating around Emytheus. It might not have been a coincidence that he was the only one to succeed.

Dyon couldn’t help but wonder… Why had he succeeded in this timeline but not the last? Could his weaker self have ever defeated Emytheus? Dyon didn’t think so. Dyon was certain that aside from The Entity, Emytheus was the most powerful existence on the mortal plane.

What Dyon didn’t know was that it was his fault that Emytheus could stand here today. No matter how great Dyon’s planning was, it was impossible for him account for every factor. Ironically, this event was only happening due to a spell of bad luck.

Back when Overlord Ascelyn – Madeleine’s mount and Ice Phoenix – was just planning on attacking the dwarves, he received a report about a young man entering the center of the Ancient Battlefield. Back then, he had asked his subordinate to keep tabs on this young man and to inform him if he ever came out.

In the previous timeline, Emytheus, beaten and bloodied after successfully crossing his tribulation, was instantly caught by the Overlord Ice Phoenix where he was likely wrung dry for his secrets. Emytheus spent over a year in a coma after exiting the battlefield, only to be killed when he showed signs of waking up. Reason being… Ascelyn realized that he was too dangerous!

Yet, in this timeline, Dyon had caught the Ice Phoenix for the sake of giving his wife a proper mount. Like this, Emytheus was able to spend a year completely unnoticed in these very plains he faced off against Dyon on now. In fact, not only did he go unnoticed, but he was able to heal himself back to 100% of his strength in the following years.

Just like this, Dyon dropped a rock on his own foot. As for why Emytheus had to enter the center of the Ancient Battlefield, he didn’t know. That said…

The reality was that he was excited.

This Ancient Constitution, wasn’t it the prized child of the Heavens? It was probably the Heavens’ greatest regret that not a single Ancient Constitution had survived to this point. Dyon even had a sneaking suspicion that all this fanfare about evolution was actually the Heavens misdirecting them all. The true pinnacle creation of the Heavens were those like Emytheus… Maybe Heaven’s Children were only failures that didn’t manage to meet the necessary requirements…

Dyon wondered… How would the Heavens feel if he beat its precious child into the ground?

Dyon’s scythe slowly dragged along the ground, carving the charred soil beneath his feet with an apathetic expression.

“You say you want revenge for Aritzia? While I can’t allow you that, I don’t mind sending you to her.”

“Haha!” Emytheus laughed. “Even in the face of a true God you speak words as though you can still pass judgement as you please. You have not a single idea the kind of strength you’re facing.”

“This is the difference between you and I. You seem to think it matters the level of strength you have, when in reality, you’ll die just the same.

“Don’t say I didn’t try to help you. Your Aritzia confessed her undying love to me just as she breathed her last breath. If I didn’t kill her, wouldn’t she come running to my arms instead of yours? At least this way, while you’re both in the land of the dead, you’re the only choice she has left.”

Emytheus’ eyes widened with rage, boiling over with a crimson tide.

The earth beneath them sunk. Dyon could feel it. It wasn’t just a small section of land that shattered, but rather the whole of the Ancient Battlefield sunk by an entire inch.

Dyon frowned, his grip around his scythe tightening slightly.

“Since you still don’t understand, I’ll be sure to slowly show you what the true difference between you and I is. Maybe if you were born in another era, this would be your world. But since I am here, it will be mine. I’ve only let you keep the fame and fortune you have on hold for me.

“Even when I was a celestial, I could have already swept through the mortal plane. There wasn’t a single person who was a match for me. The only reason I did not was because my goals and aspirations were much higher. This would not be my limit. Until I successfully crossed the dao realm, none of you were worthy of my attention.

“Today, I will show you… The true strength of I, Emytheus.”  –> <img src=’https://st.moonquill.com/avatar/129′ alt=”…” class=”avatar-img rounded-circle border border-4 border-body”> <h6 class=”header-pretitle”> Author’s Note </h6> <h1 class=”header-title”> Awespec </h1> <h3 class=”header-subtitle text-white”>Reminder that RMW does have a patreon with the highest tier being 160 chapters ahead, chest out https://www.patreon.com/Awespec if you’d like <3 Also, my new novel, Dimensional Descent, just crossed the 70 chapter mark on webnovel and over 100k words stop by and have a read</h3>
