Chapter 891 Flawed
Clara and Madeleine frowned while Ri rolled over from her nap. They had, of course, all heard of the Crystal Dragons before. While they could easily accept Dyon going to a mere 98th ranked quadrant alone, the Drago-Qilin quadrant was a completely different animal!
On top of it all, Dyon had the aura of the Dragon King on him. He would immediately become public enemy number one. In addition, because the Dragon King was seen as a member of the older generation, the moment Dyon was exposed as having relations to him, the Dragon wouldn't be restricted to attacking with members of the younger generation anymore. At that point, Dyon would be in true danger!
Of course, Dyon knew all of this. However, he wasn't worried about the Dragon King's aura leaking because of his mask. As long as he didn't actually use the Dragon King in battle, he would be fine.
"Don't worry," Dyon smiled, "My mask can avoid such base level detection. Also, even if something unexpected occurs, simply releasing my manifestation would be enough to prove my identity. If my manifestation is my own, and not the Dragon King's, then that would prove my body hadn't been taken over."
Of course, despite saying this, Dyon didn't mention whether or not he would wait until his soul unsealed to go. He simply glossed over it… He couldn't afford to allow this seal to slow down his plans. He was willing to slow down for his wives, but not such inconsequential things.
"That aside, there's a more important reason I want the Demon Generals to go instead." Dyon said with a grin.
Seeing Dyon's smile, Madeleine couldn't help but put down her worries and smile as well. With how intelligent Dyon's wives were, how could they not tell that he was trying to pull the wool over their eyes? However, they all recognized this smile, so they all knew the person it was directed toward would truly be played with to death.
"My wife's Flaming Lily Sect wants to make use of her to strong arm me into helping them. Of course, I don't mind. They've treated my little beauty well, so how could I not repay them?" Dyon pulled Madeleine into his arms, watching with a blazing light in his eyes as her skin reddened under his gentle touch. She was truly too beautiful…
"However, the Flaming Lily Sect, and the entire Golden Flame Quadrant, needs to understand just what type of man I am. Not only am I capable, but the men under my command are as well.
"They need to understand that a mere 4th ranked quadrant disputing over a single gate isn't enough for me to take action personally." Dyon slowly removed the rest of Madeleine's clothing, getting lost in her outrageous curves… Her breasts had grown so large that even Dyon's large hands could no longer completely cover them.
Dyon didn't speak anymore, instead using his lips to seal the moan that escaped Madeleine's lips as he entered her. He had already forgotten whatever nonsense he was saying before. But, one thing was for certain: The name Dyon Sacharro would spread in the coming months for entirely new reasons.
The top nine quadrants had already begun making preparations. Because the tenth ranked Sapientia quadrant had a reserved spot, with Dyon's existence, one of them was doomed to fall to the 11th spot. Although the top three didn't care about such a thing, ranks four through nine were constantly fluctuating.
Although Dyon wouldn't be able to make drastic changes right now, because he was only at the saint floors, as he grew, he would raise to new floors, and thus begin to suppress the geniuses they held there as well…
When this happened, the Celestial Deer Quadrant would once again shoot up the rankings, resulting in their rewards plummeting.
There was no question, for quadrants four through nine, Dyon had become the number one enemy to crush. If they didn't eliminate him now, weren't they doomed to fall from the top ten rankings?
So, Dyon decided to make a statement. Since he was going to be their enemy anyway, it was best they understood right now that he didn't place them in his eyes at all. They would come to know that Dyon Sacharro feared no one.
...
From the moment the celestial hamster twins disappeared, about 4 months passed. During that time, Dyon did nothing but spend time with his wives, eat and laugh.
Although Madeleine and Clara couldn't go out with Dyon and Ri, that didn't hamper the mood of the four of them. The only slightly sad times were when Madeleine and Clara had to make some appearances in order not to bring suspicion unto themselves. After all, if either of them simply disappeared, especially Clara, it would be too obvious to miss.
During this time, nothing too shocking occurred. But, they were still quite important.
Many articles concerning the Celestial Deer Quadrant and their meteoric rise to 51st place were written in this time, many of which circulated around just when the famous Dyon Sacharro would finally leave seclusion and reopen their long closed Corner for the world to see.
In truth, no one found it too odd that the Celestial Deer Corner's fog had yet to disappear. This was because as long as one didn't leave their tower and enter the inner world, the tower itself wouldn't consider that your trials had ended.
Many speculated that Dyon was still taking advantage of the tower resources in order to rapidly increase his strength before stepping out. This was because a Corner without proper protection would be slowly weeded away by surrounding Corners in order to steal benefits.
When Dyon's grand teacher explained that ranking decided the quality of a corner, he hadn't told the whole story. Ranking did, in fact, decide the quality of a corner, everything from density of energy, to protection from poisonous type qis, to even things such as better soil for growing spiritual plants. However, what was missed was that this also included a certain level of faith as well.
Within the tower, the prosperity of a Corner was contingent on not only its ranking, but the size of its land as well. Every floor of the Epistemic Tower was rife with competition. Everything from the constant rankings, to the tournaments, to the inter-corner wars, all revolved around this. As such, the fog barrier existed to stop corners from taking advantage of an absent key wielder.
Knowing this, everyone could understand Dyon's actions. There was a reason the tower floors began with saint floors and not essence floors, or meridian floors, or even foundation floors, this was because the cultivation rooms of the individual Epistemic Towers themselves made a need for those floors redundant.
The fact that Dyon hadn't exited his own tower yet meant one thing to the cosmos: He was far younger and weaker than they had first imagined. But… At the same time… His potential was only that much more frightening.
The optimal time to enter the trials, as anyone could tell you, was the moment you broke into sainthood. At that time, it would be the perfect combination of youth and power to epitomize your results within the tower.
This concept was similar to what is seen in weaker universe, where those without heavenly herbs or special constitutions must wait until they are 18 to cultivate. This provided the perfect mixture of meridian maturity, while also not leaping over the youthful cultivation window.
In this same way, the instant one breaks into sainthood is the optimal time to enter one's trials.
Why was this so? It was because the difficulty of the trials was based on age, not power.
The fact Dyon still saw it fit to remain within the tower, even after completing his God Trials, meant he hadn't even entered the trials at the optimal time… And yet he still performed like this!
It was no wonder why he placed 11th in the 4th trial, if he was as young as they all thought he was, that meant the clone had less techniques and wills of a high level to copy, which would also mean that his reflection of Dyon's abilities would be far more accurate, and thus make him even more difficult for Dyon to defeat!
When those of the cosmos thought to this point, the felt a bout of despair and cold sweat. Could there really be such a genius in existence? What would they do once he decides to show himself? Wouldn't their time at the top come crumbling down?
The quadrants ranked fourth through ninth felt even more pressure bearing down on them and they became even more determined do snuff out this genius before he could grow.
Of course, Dyon had already seen through this possibility and he was well prepared to be hunted. However, although Dyon was intelligent, he wasn't omnipotent, nor was he all powerful.
Before entering the trials, Dyon had no idea what they entailed, so it wasn't now that he came to understand just what the fourth trial represented and how it could be used to analyze a genius. As a result of this, a whole new set of problems arose due to Dyon's arrogance.
Originally, Dyon wanted to place as much pressure on himself as possible. So, he didn't ask about the trials, he wanted to be forced to adapt to whatever came…
However, because of this, the more intelligent individuals of the quadrants began to deduce the most likely location of the Celestial Deer Quadrant's Epistemic Tower…
Although their logic was flawed, it wasn't so far from the truth that they were completely off-base. Because of this, Dyon's home universe might soon be in danger…
