Book 12: Chapter 142: Flaws (3)

While Dyon was unfeeling toward the immortal gods who were coming for him, he had also seemingly forgotten to care about the Yin Soldier Immortal God’s Legacy World. But, the truth of the matter was that to the current Dyon, such a legacy world was nothing more than a joke.

What Dyon had always lacked in his life to this point was experience. He had all the intelligence he could ever need, but he lacked enough information and wisdom to make proper use of it. Most of the time, he could only make conjectures and educated guesses, which even sometimes ended with silly mistakes that could have been avoided.

However, the current Dyon didn’t have such a problem. Simply put, Dyon might have not had the individual battle strength of an Immortal God currently. But… A Lower Immortal God like the Yin Soldier Immortal God was still nothing but an ant before him.

When Dyon reawakened his memories, his paused footsteps toward the city lord’s mansion continued. Of course by that point City Lord Woo had stepped out with his entourage of guards. However, Dyon had already regained his calm.

The blood red pillar in the skies no longer fluctuated, the tears of blood on his face no longer fell, and he looked down toward the two heads in his head with a calm expression. His heart was no longer in disorder, he would give these two a proper burial after this was all over and never make such a mistake again.

The Heavens wanted him to be an unfeeling villain, but he had no interest in such a path. Madeleine deserved better. She wanted a hero for a husband so he would be a hero. It was as simple as that.

Of course, since the Heavens wanted him to be a villain so badly, he didn’t mind indulging it for a bit. It’s just that I wouldn’t like the result very much at all.

What preceded was completely under Dyon’s control to an almost scary degree.

According to Dyon’s original plan, he would use the death of his ‘wife’ as a justifiable cause to rise up against the city lord. With his actions as Law, he had already garnered the respect of the people of Yin City. In this way, they would most likely have his back as well.

Playing the role of the pitiful figure, he would attack the city lord mansion, something that would likely end in failure. Even with his vajra body, though he could severely suppress even Immortal Gods and those below that rank were nothing but ants as long as it was active, it still wasn’t quite enough for him to face up against such an existence.

After he was on the verge of losing his life, the rest of his plan would kick into motion. His clones within the other three factions would make their move. Using their friendship as the four geniuses of this generation, they would use the support they gained to launch an assault on the mansion as well.

With the devils attacking the city, the various factions were uniquely vulnerable to internal strife at the moment, so the plan would have likely reached this step without a hitch.

Of course, the genius of the devils, the very one who exposed the Jones Dukedom, was also one of Dyon’s clones. So, this could be a coordinated plan from both the inside and outside of the city.

At this point, the city lord would be assaulted from all sides all while under the suppression of Law’s vajra body and would eventually die under Dyon’s various schemes. Dyon predicted that this would complete the true main storyline.

The key was to not only kill the city lord, but to also do it with the support of the people. If it was just as easy as killing a single person then this legacy world would have never even had a second opening.

However… The current Dyon didn’t need to go through so much trouble. Before him, the schemes and tricks of an Immortal God were nothing more than parlor tricks.

The truth was that immortal legacy worlds were different from mortal ones. Whereas mortal ones relied on the Heavens’ help, immortal legacy worlds, though the Heavens were somewhat involved, relied almost entirely on one’s Origin Source. As a result, no one below the Immortal God Realm could leave a legacy world behind.

One’s Origin Source acted as a foundation and the Heavens filled in the gaps. This is why this world seemed so real. However, it was exactly these parts that made such a world vulnerable.

Dyon’s vajra body moved, its six black-goal halos rotating until a singular eye stopped at the top. Its eyelid slowly opened, causing the world to tremble.

In those moments, it felt like existence itself might collapse. The skies rumbled and tore apart, leaving streaking of thunderous lightning and torn bits of space hovering in the air.

“Too many flaws, too easy… Oh, this clone is about to explode… There should be enough time… There.”

Law seemed to speak to himself as though he could feel an Immortal God boring down on him.

He pointed a finger, completely ignoring City Lord Woo who had a livid expression on his face.

For a moment, it seemed like nothing would happen. But in the next instant, the legacy world collapsed. The city, the artificial trees and plants, the devils, the puppets, it all collapsed leaving a sea of blackness.

In the end, all that was left was a single core… a world core. However, compared to the ones that Dyon had seen, it was far too small, not even half the size of a fingernail.

“You guys handle the rest.” These were Law’s last words before he combusted and withered into the roots of a large flower. Clearly, using that manifestation had taken too much out of him, so he left it to his remaining clones.

None of them even spared a glance toward the Well and Vio Clan family members who hovered in the empty space with shocked expressions on their faces.

Those poor souls couldn’t even react by the time they were ejected from the black space and reappeared in Yin City. But this time, the puppets stood blankly as if having lost their sentience…
