Chapter 1974 Have It
"Hey dad, before you leave!" Alauna called out just as Dyon was about to disappear.
"Hm?"
"Two things actually." Alauna said with a sweet smile. "One, your alchemy cauldron birthed a spirit but she's ignoring you because she thinks you ignored her. Second, can I have the second pill?"
"Oh?" Dyon paused.
The first was already enough for him to stop. But the second made his eyebrows furrow.
"Second pill?"
In the distance, those watching on could finally hear the family of three's words once more. So, hearing Alauna's request, they almost fainted. Even if you were spoiled, there had to be a limit to how much you were spoiled, right? This was a half-step immortal grade pill!
Unfortunately, these people did not know that Dyon once tried to give his daughter a Treasure of the 33 Heavens.
"Yes, there was a second pill." Luna used her qi, sending the pill over to Dyon.
"This…" Dyon's eyes widened.
Dyon immediately thought of something from the [Dao of Array Alchemy], but that was impossible… right?
Endowments were the pinnacle Blessings of Alchemy. Even unique flames paled in comparison to them.
When one delved into the path of Alchemy deeply enough to forge a Dao, it was possible to infuse Heaven's Secrets into one's pills. By infusing The Dao into a pill, it allows an Alchemist to break the laws of reality in an instant of time to produce something impossible.
Endowments were the result of breaking these laws. The problem was that Endowments were an existence only Alchemy Gods could touch! Even the greatest geniuses might only elicit one near the peak of the Alchemy Empyrean Realms!
Even then, in those extremely rare cases, those geniuses would only evoke the weakest Endowments.
For example, the Endowment of Elevation, which could raise the Grade of a Pill by one stage as long as it was below the Top Grade. Or, the Endowment of Stability which could allow the forceful condensing of a pill as long as one reached the final refinement step.
However, for a second pill to appear in Dyon's refinement… It meant he had awakened the Endowment of Multiplicity! Even among the greatest Endowments, it stood at the very top! Even above the Endowment of Reinforcement which was the evolved form of the Endowment of Elevation.
Dyon smiled, tossing the pill over to his daughter.
"Of course you can have it."
With that, he grabbed hold of an adorably stubborn little cauldron and vanished.
...
"Hey Little Chibi, don't be like this. Big brother is sorry."
Dyon couldn't help but tease the little cauldron as he casually wiped out another Universe Spirit's trial.
The foundations of Alliances were simply too weak to face him. There was a reason the Sapientia were so feared despite having less quadrants under their control in comparison to the Nephilim Alliance.
One could consider an Alliance like an impure ore, while a Clan like the Sapientia was forged and tempered steel. They might theoretically have the same Faith per universe conquered, but the Faith of Alliances were brittle.
This allowed Dyon to target weak universe first, chipping away at their Faith, before targeting the now weakened stronger universes.
Of course, Dyon was still mindful of ensuring key universes took hold of milestones for his Sacharro Clan. This only took a bit more effort.
With Hell's Right Eye by his side, Dyon could travel between universes in mere minutes. With his current means, travelling from one edge of the Mortal Plane to another might take a handful of days at most, if that. So this process had become as easy as flipping over a hand. Who would have known that a mighty Outer Power would fall like this?
This was all to say that though Dyon could target the weak points of an Alliance, a Clan like the Sapientia didn't have such weaknesses.
Even still, Dyon didn't fear the Sapientia. With things being like this, he might as well stop taking a backseat to the so-called Federation and take the tower quadrants for himself as well.
The Sprite Alliance controlled 96 quadrants, while the tower quadrants had 105. If Dyon conquered them all, his Sacharro Clan would become a Second Level Planet Grade Clan. Even the Sapientia were only a Third Level Planet Grade Clan.
Though the gap between such grades was obviously massive, it was no longer to the point where Dyon had to be crippled when facing their might. He'd never meet a sorry state like he had when combatting Oshire again.
However, Dyon couldn't count his chickens before they hatched. Of those 105 quadrants, 5 of them were controlled by Dragons, the race with the most number of Higher Existences on the entire Mortal Plane. Believing that they would be easy to conquer was foolish.
The more realistic outcome was becoming a Peak First Level Planet Grade Clan. Even then, Dyon was confident. As long as he was near the Sapientia's level, he'd take whatever they could throw at him.
Plus… Once the Ancient Battlefield descended, many would be shocked by the rule changes. Faith would become useless!
"Hmph. This Grand Aunt is ignoring you."
"Oh… Sounds like Little Chibi doesn't want to join me in battle anymore…" Dyon feigned a heartbroken appearance. "… In that case, I'll just use the old lizard then…"
Little Chibi's expression changed. It was truly adorable watching her chubby cheeks flare up in anger. Since she was a spirit, one could even see qi billowing from her pursed lips and ears.
"You dare…?!"
"Dare?" Dyon casually streaked across the skies, jumping from solar system to solar system. "… But you're ignoring me? How could I battle like this? My heart is too broken."
"Well glue it back together!" Little Chibi said stubbornly. "If you're so fragile, you aren't worthy of being this Grant Aunt's master."
Dyon laughed.
Little Chibi bobbed over his shoulder, her chubby face peeking out of the battle cauldron's heavy lid as she berated him.
Dyon had little understanding of Immortal Plane treasures, but, the [Dao of Array Alchemy] had deep reflections on the Weapon's Master path as well.
