Chapter 1685 Thank You
His spicy pine scent filled her nose, the warmth of his breath caressed her lips… Of all the things she thought might happen, this was the last.
Even in pain, the Heaven's Children couldn't believe what they were seeing. None of their bodies reacted to them, and scenes just continuously flashed across their eyes, but they could swear that they were seeing the mighty Unblemished One… blushing?
"Thank you… Luna." Dyon felt that he had never spoken words more sincere until this very moment.
At that moment, Alauna's giggling interrupted the silent moment. "Hehe, momma's blushing."
The little girl seemed to be emboldened within Dyon's embrace, nothing seemed to scare her anymore. Even the cries of agony from the Heaven's Children and the 50 corpses that lay in the hidden realm didn't faze her.
She happily grinned, wrapping one arm around Dyon's neck and the other around Luna's.
"D-Dyon…" Luna's voice trembled.
"You don't need to explain anything. In truth, my emotions aren't so easily manipulated. The Seal is protecting my mind from such things. You don't need to feel any guilt…
"Thanks to you, I got to watch all of Alauna's first moments. I couldn't be more grateful…"
This was a major part of the reason Dyon was so shocked by his feelings for Alauna. He knew this entire time that The Seal was protecting his mind, so it should have been impossible for even a Heaven's Child to manipulate him. Initially, he believed that maybe he had just underestimated Heaven's Children.
One had to remember that treasures weren't allowed to be taken into the second trial, meaning, back then, Luna had only been able to manipulate Dyon's emotions because The Seal hadn't been able to follow him in.
It was only now Dyon understood that it wasn't that the Heaven's Children could ignore the Treasures of the 33 Heavens, but rather that he had instinctually felt a closeness to Alauna normal logic couldn't explain.
Heaven's Children were known as true Legendary Weapons while the Treasures of the 33 Heavens were known as Pseudo Legendary Weapons. However, the reason they were only known as Pseudo was because only one of their two abilities were truly classified as 'Legendary' – that being their passive ability.
The passive or Legendary ability of The Seal was the protection of mind. Meaning, it shouldn't lose a head to head battle with a Heaven's Child.
In the last countless millions of years, Luna had only smiled for Alauna. But in this moment, when she fell into Dyon's embrace, accepting a warmth she never thought she would have in her life, she smiled once more.
She felt a weight on her shoulders fall. The mighty world renowned Unblemished One was simply a happy woman in this moment.
"What should we do with them?"
After several moment, Luna couldn't help but ask. In the past, she would have made the decision herself, but she had unconsciously began to rely on Dyon. It wasn't because she couldn't do it herself, but rather because she felt that the matters of her territory should be decided between the both of them.
Even if she couldn't be Dyon's woman, she felt that she owed him at least this much. Luna was under no illusions. She knew that what she had done couldn't be forgiven so easily, and she was aware that Alauna's existence was the only reason Dyon wasn't pushing her away. She wanted to show Dyon that she was no longer the Luna of the past… She could be something other than a burden to him.
Dyon's thoughts were different. Luna's past was complex, but he had already forgiven it all. He had already decided. As long as his wives accepted Luna, he would as well. But this was a matter for another time. The current situation was more dangerous than either of them let on.
"You know the current situation, right?" Dyon pulled his forehead from Luna's, looking into her opal eyes.
Luna's eyes carried a hidden sadness. "I was betrayed…"
Dyon nodded heavily. He knew that his [Devour] alone couldn't restrain the Heaven's Children. It was only because he received Luna's hidden support that he could. Meaning, Luna was aware of his thoughts already.
There was only one way that Luna with all her strength didn't immediately realize there was something infiltrating her hidden realm to kidnap Little Alauna. Only someone capable of manipulating the senses of others would be able to pull the wool over her eyes…
The question was… Did Aslan work alone? Or did he receive help?
"Do you know who?" Luna looked toward Dyon with an expectant gaze.
"Well, I didn't know before, I only had some guesses. But now…" Dyon looked toward the Heaven's Children writhing in pain. "Aslan. Maura. And…" Dyon's gaze stopped on the final individual. "Caspian."
Luna closed her eyes and sighed. She knew how Dyon's [Devour] worked after seeing it in action and didn't need any further explanation to know that he was correct. Even if she didn't, she would trust Dyon's words regardless.
These three individuals, they were a match made in heaven. Together, conspiring against even the most powerful individuals in existence became easy. Dyon almost felt it was too bad he would never be able to make use of them. With their abilities, there's no way he would be able to trust them around his people, this was especially so for Aslan and Maura.
The former was able to have absolute control over his own and the senses of others. The latter could manipulate the emotions of people based on her will.
On top of this, with the help of Caspian's absolute spatial control, communicating and scheming was easy beyond belief. If they worked together… It was no wonder Luna had been tricked in this way.
Still, there were six remaining Heaven's Children that were completely loyal to Luna. The only reason Dyon hadn't released his [Devour] on them yet was because he didn't want them to act rashly without fully understanding the situation. Though they were screaming, Dyon knew that the Heavens dampened the pain they should feel considerably.
