Chapter 1973 Yes
"Luna." After satisfying Alauna, Dyon called over this woman he had quite the complicated history with.
She had been standing off to the side, silently smiling as she watched on. But, the distance she put between her and Dyon was obvious. Though Alauna could be willful as Dyon's daughter, even being the cause for this whole mess, Luna knew she couldn't be. She also didn't want to rely on Alauna guilt tripping Dyon to force her way into his heart.
So, despite being called, she didn't move from her place.
"There's no need to worry about me." She said with a smile.
Her words were simple, but filled with meaning. Unfortunately, she could have never expected that her response would cause a roguish glint to light in Dyon's eyes.
"Come here."
Luna felt a surge of qi wrap around her body. She didn't have time to resist before she was irresistibly pulled into Dyon's arms.
Luna knew her weaknesses well. She had the strength of a Higher Existence, but that was only if she had adequate preparation. She didn't have her guard up against Dyon, so how could she react to his willfulness?
Feeling Dyon's arm around her slim waist, she blushed profusely.
In her youth, Luna had quite the wild sex drive. Even though the only man she had been with was Dyon, the number of women were numerous. But, after those events that day, after she finally awoke from the nightmare brought to her by the wind abyssal core that tore her apart day and night… She hadn't released that side of herself.
This sort of intimacy, she hadn't experienced in trillions of years. This made the usually bold and forward Luna react no differently from an innocent little girl with no experience in such matters. It definitely didn't help that Dyon's new appearance in the Diamond Silk Realm was too breathtaking.
Luckily, her image as a Supreme was left intact by the fact her face was hidden behind a veil.
Little Alauna clapped excitedly to the side, but her grin was almost evil, as though she was a villain and her masterplan had worked.
"I've been too timid in doing things in the past. The day I learned of Little Alauna's existence, you were already my woman, that couldn't be erased no matter how I ran from it. We have a complicated past… But I believe you've done more than enough to make up for those matters."
Dyon's words were spoken aloud, but this time, he didn't allow anyone but Luna to hear them.
Dyon smiled. "I'm about to turn this mortal plane upside down, will you follow me?"
Luna blinked, looking up into Dyon's sparkling eyes. She was certain this wasn't an illusion. His eyes really were sparkling. Dammit, how was she supposed to say no to them?
"… Yes…" She said softly.
Dyon grinned.
Dyon released Luna. Though he liked the soft feeling of her waist, there were still too many matters to handle. Now that he had forcibly locked the Sprite Capital for two days, the Outer Powers were likely all in massive turmoil right now trying to find out what happened.
First, he had to conquer all of Sprite Alliance's universe spirits. With Luna tying down their Higher Existences and all of their Fallen dead, this really was the best time.
Dyon had to say he was quite lucky. If it hadn't been for Apollos' existence, those Supremes would have never been bold enough to enter Luna's territory so wantonly. Without that, they would have never been able to round them up so easily. So, quite frankly, Dyon had to thank the little guy.
Of course, all of this luck would have been useless had Dyon not planned in advance. But the sentiment was still the same.
Secondly, Dyon had to make his stance clear. If he couldn't introduce himself to the world with enough strength and momentum, those other Outer Powers would think his Sacharro Clan was easy pickings. Instead of dealing with the headache that came from that, Dyon would rather blast them all away in one swoop.
Luckily, the Nephilim Gathering was occurring very soon. This would be the best opportunity.
Dyon wasn't certain of the limits of his own strength currently, but he was still confident in dealing with the universe spirits of the Sprites since their Higher Existences were incapacitated.
Even now, Dyon wasn't supremely confident in dealing with Higher Existences. This was mostly because of the current imbalance in his qi and body strength.
The greater the disparity between the two, the less perfect their fusion was, and thus the smaller the boost in strength that came with combining them became. The fusion would always be limited by the weaker half. Thus, though Dyon's body had the strength of a 10th stage Dao Expert alone, he was only fusing it with his qi at the 6th Dao Stage.
This wasn't too big of a deal. Dyon had only been slowing his qi cultivation down in order to keep it level with his body strength which was much harder to raise. Now, though, he didn't have to worry about it. It would only take a few decades at most to fix this imbalance with his cultivation speed.
Of course, if he used half-step immortal grade pills, this speed would be much faster. But, how could such pills be so easy to refine?
There were no immortal grade spiritual herbs on the mortal plane. To refine the Essence Mending Pill, Dyon was forced to combine hundreds of star grade herbs to replicate the effect of just one immortal grade herb.
Not only was this taxing on his mind considering the countless calculations needed, he couldn't use such a vast number of resources for just one pill without impacting his own conscience.
If Dyon wanted to do this, he would have to first allow Eli some time to plant and grow these once extinct star and planet grade herbs.
Thankfully, Eli had become far more adept at using his talents. So there should be results soon.
