Book 8: Chapter 58: Manpower (1)

Amphorae looked at Dyon silently for a moment. She felt that something had changed about her husband, and her instincts definitely weren’t wrong.

“Did something happen?” Amphorae probed.

“It’s no longer safe to go to the Conference. You took a relay station with you just in case, correct? Use it as soon as you can and return to Soul Palace.”

Amphorae frowned.

The relay station Dyon was referring to was the very same array set created by the 24^th White Mother for the Sapientia. Dyon knew this thanks to the special abilities of the hamster twins.

According to Little Yin and Yang, there were a set of 1030 planet grade arrays, 30 of which were ‘Master Key Arrays’. These 30 master arrays were placed as a fail safe because the 24^th White Mother didn’t trust the Sapientia Clan. Thus, these 30 arrays were left hidden within Soul Rending Peak until they were brought out for use by The Cathedral.

Currently, Dyon had control of 10 of these master key arrays. The remaining 20 were still in the hands of the 99 universes. However, this wasn’t a big deal because Dyon cut off their ability to teleport to the 10 in his hands. When the time came, he would come to control all 30. When that day came, the Sapientia would be in for rude awakening… The humiliation they handed Dyon this day would be handed back several hundredfold.

Still, this wasn’t important now. What was important was that the master key arrays could create 10 relay stations each. These relay stations could allow one to teleport back to the master key array that created it at any moment. And, it also allowed anyone at the master key array to teleport to it.

Amphorae had brought one with her. Originally, Dyon had given it to her after hearing she wanted to go Dragon Hunting. He didn’t want her to be without means of escape, just in case. But, it seemed it would come very useful now.

“… What happened?” Amphorae said after a long time.

After listening to Dyon’s explanation, Amphorae understood. Since these people wanted to cut all cordiality with him, there wouldn’t be much of a reason for them to let Amphorae go free.

“What about the relay station, though?” Amphorae said, slightly apprehensive.

“This is a good opportunity.” Dyon said after thinking a while. “Find an abandoned, preferably uninhabitable planet with a predictable orbit to hide it. Use a few concealment arrays to block the energy fluctuations and stop the Star Clan from being able to sense the influx of spatial qi. When the time comes, this relay station will make warring with the Star Clan far easier.”

Amphorae nodded. She didn’t know when her and Dyon’s relationship flipped back to him taking the lead, but she couldn’t say she hated it. At least this way, their 5-year long trip wasn’t entirely wasted.

“Do you need my help?”

“No. Once you get back to Soul Palace, don’t leave. In fact, I left a martial saint pill with Meiying just for you. Take it as soon as you can.”

Amphorae’s eyes widened. “Martial Saint Pill?”

How could she not know the significance of such a thing? It was precisely because of his Martial Saint constitution that her father dominated for so many years. There was a reason it was ranked top 3 among male constitutions.

However, the martial saint pill was even more valuable because it actually allowed women to gain the constitution as well. Amphorae couldn’t even begin to imagine how Dyon got his hands on such a thing.

Still, Amphorae didn’t feel very comfortable doing this. If she really took the pill, because she was already in the dao realm, being incapacitated for only 10 years was a best case scenario. She didn’t know if her odd slumbering constitution would help or not, but she didn’t want to put hope in the unknown.

“Listen.” Dyon’s voice said firmly. “Madeleine is in danger and Clara…” Dyon took a deep breath. “If anything happens to you or Ri right now, I might really lose my mind. I’ll never ask you for something so selfish again. But just this one time, okay?”

Amphorae’s emerald eyes sparkled, but in the end, she nodded. “Okay.”

The trio immediately got to work. Due to the influx of experts around, they had to be cautious with their actions. The Star Clan definitely wouldn’t allow anyone to enter and do as they willed in their territory. If they weren’t so strict, why would everyone have to go through so much trouble to enter their quadrant?

Luckily, for once, everything went right this time.

Dyon was very much right in telling Amphorae to turn back. When he told Aritzia how talented Amphorae was, Aritzia believed there was a good chance that Amphorae might be the one to represent Dyon’s Clan. As such, she made preparations to capture Amphorae and cut off all semblance of cordiality. In fact, she had already cast a net. But how could she be aware that Amphorae had such a hidden trump card?

In the end, a net set as wide as an entire universe was too large. It wasn’t as though these experts had divine senses as exaggerated as Dyon’s. It also didn’t help that they didn’t know who Amphorae was or what she looked like.

Amphorae, Zaire and Lyla managed to find an uninhabitable gas planet and suspended the relay station within its toxic fumes. Not only was this planet good due to its location, but its thick atmosphere would make hiding their doings easier.

Not long later, they had disappeared and travelled back to Soul Palace.
