Book 9: Chapter 164: Fast (3)

In truth, they felt like they were taking advantage of Dyon. The greatest trouble in controlling territory was managing the people under it. But now Dyon was suddenly giving them all of the territory and taking all the troubles that would have come with it, how could they not accept?

What they didn’t know was that Dyon held back on them quite a bit.

Even if they took over the kitsune universes, how long would it take them to find their universe spirits? Thousands? Tens of thousands?

With a simple call to Researcher Ton, Dyon could have the appropriate coordinates in just a few days. Then, it would at most take him a few weeks to conquer all over 30 kitsune universes.

But, obviously, Emperor Shruti and Atlas had no idea about this. Since they hadn’t agreed to become his vassal states, why would he help them out more than he already had?

The universe spirits would definitely hide from them just like the universe spirit of the Five Beast Clan Alliance did to Dyon. Even if they interrogated the kitsune elders, it wouldn’t be any help.

As for the kitsune’s population, after Dyon cleansed the top Clan elders, controlling them would be easy.

Why? Because he had not only been grooming the heirs and heiress of the Jikan, Void and Heaven Clans for several decades already, but he also had Kawa and Ri, both of whom controlled Faith Seeds of their Supreme Kitsune Clans.

Simply put, Dyon’s threshold toward controlling the hearts of their people was far lower than it would be for others.

This wasn’t all either, there was something else Dyon was excited about.

Now that he was a Star Lord with the [Dao of Array Alchemy] under his control, he had the ability to cleanse bloodlines by a certain extent. If more eight and nine tail kitsune began to be born, they’d begin to display the true prowess of a Supreme grade beast Clan once more.

On top of this, some nine tails could be selected to take the Fate Breaking Pill and become Celestial Foxes. The potential of this kitsune clan population was no less than that of the elves.

After these matters were settled, Dyon turned his attention to what remained of the Legions.

Subduing them without their Commanders was as easy as breathing for him. Aside from telling Chenglei to leave the Crimson Lion Legion alone, he let him do whatever he pleased with the other four.

“… You have no idea who you’ve offended.”

Four, who lay on the ground too injured to move, sneered as she looked up toward Dyon, a clear defiance on her delicate features.

“Oh? You mean the Transcendent Beast Alliance? Do I look like I care?”

Four’s brows visibly trembled. She really hadn’t expected Dyon to know.

“I hear your Humming Sparrow Clan is quite good. How unfortunate, I promised Chenglei the Sparrow Legion, but it seems you really did come alone.”

Four glared at Dyon. “Even if you know about this connection, it wasn’t them I was referring to. Do you believe someone who can gain my acknowledgement despite being so weak is a normal person? The person you shouldn’t have offended is my Kaori!”

“Is that so? I seem to have a habit of offending weak bodied geniuses. The last one who offended me had her Clan run out of the tower quadrants…

“Don’t tell me, let me guess. Along with Aritzia Sapientia, Kaori Void is one of the top 3 most intelligent minds of the Mortal Plane. I should be quaking in my boots waiting for their revenge, is that correct?”

Four’s eyelashes trembled, suddenly feeling an insurmountable aura coming from this man kneeling by her injured body.

Suddenly, Dyon’s black mask sunk into his face, revealing a visage handsome beyond words. Unfortunately, the dark, sinister light in his eyes forced those who gazed upon him to be unable to appreciate it, they would instead be filled with an endless ocean of dread.

The trembling of Four’s body grew fiercer. That face, she knew it too well. No, anyone of the tower quadrants knew it.

How was this possible?! How could it be him?!

No, if this is true…

Tears of rage and unwillingness filled Four’s eyes. Her emotions were so fierce that the veins coursing through her body turned a deep black, making her once beautiful features turn ghastly and unsightly.

Unfortunately, Dyon was here alone. In this Gate, there was only him, her, and a silently waiting Saru and Brahman in the distance. Even the Shruti Army had already left to begin slowly conquering Kitsune territory. There was no one else to witness this scene before her.

“Let me tell you something before you become my Dragon’s prized corpse puppet.” Dyon’s piercing gaze bore into her body. “I don’t know who made that list of genius minds, but they should consider remaking it. Don’t you think it’s embarrassing that two of your top three fell to me because they weren’t smart enough…?”

A deep chuckle left Dyon’s lips. “… If they were as intelligent as you all say… Shouldn’t they know not to offend me?”

Dyon’s finger touched Four’s forehead. She instantly felt that her soul was being ripped from her body, but there was nothing she could do to fight it.

Her last thoughts were ones of despair.

If the face she saw was real and not an illusion, her beloved Kaori stood no chance.

For him to grow so fast… No one stood a chance…
