Reaper of the Martial World

Book 11: Chapter 103: Don’t Mind (3)

Blue rays of sun descended upon Dyon’s body, a light smile coating his blood dripping lips.

He took a deep breath as the skies opened up, pouring down rays of gold that healed his body near instantaneously. In those moments, he felt no different from a God. Not one of those fake gods like Zeus or Odin who built their reputations among mortals, but a true God that reigned above all. One that created with a breath and destroyed with a thought.

Of course, it wasn’t exactly like this. Dyon had forced this world’s Heavens to give him its fundamental runes, but he had yet to truly master them. Much like the previous analogy, he could now count from 0 to 9, but he still had a ways to go before he could reach 10 and 11, let alone reconstructing the fundamental laws of this universe from its fundamental runes.

However, Dyon hadn’t done this for the sake of merely grasping the laws of this world. His goal was much grander than that.

Luckily, Dyon didn’t have to worry about the shocked gazes of everyone around him. This trial ground was most definitely secluded and extremely well hidden. War, Conquest, Death and Famine would most definitely not want normal day to day people knowing that their world was just a battle ground for a much stronger world. They likely had no idea that the four most powerful experts of their world had been killed at Dyon’s hands.

He simply descended from the skies, landing by his daughter’s side.

“You can fly now.” Alauna said.

“Of course.” Dyon smiled. “If taken to the absolute extreme, I can likely diligently study to the point that I can live for as long as this world exists…”

Dyon said these words softly, but he didn’t care much for this realization. This would be no different from tying himself to this weak world. After all, this weak world had no influence on stronger worlds. Which meant that if he wanted to take advantage of this, he would not only need to waste what might be millions of years perfectly comprehending its fundamental runes, but in order to enjoy the fruits of his labor, he wouldn’t be able to leave this world either.

Plus, this wasn’t the sort of conclusion he wanted. After all, even a world’s lifespan was limited. It was just longer than a person’s… And it might not necessarily even be longer than Immortals of the Immortal Plane either.

Dyon remembered something incredibly important the four horsemen had said when he first entered…

The last trial taker only appeared thousands of years ago. But this didn’t make any sense considering the last trial taker should have appeared trillions of years ago.

This meant that time and lifespans worked differently in this world. Living here until this world collapsed may not even be worth much when compared to other worlds.

Maybe the reason the time had been exactly one to one within the trial grounds was because of the special building surroundings. In the end, Dyon had gotten what he needed from this world, there was no need to stay here for long, or who knew how long passed in his world?

Since he had destroyed a good portion of the trial grounds, the effects likely wouldn’t last much longer.

“Let’s go.”

Dyon touched his daughter’s shoulder and disappeared. Maybe in the future, someone would eventually stumble upon this ruin. But, it had nothing to do with Dyon anymore.

“Where’ve you been? You disappeared for months!” Ri all but bit his ears off, her adorable canines shining as she ranted.

Dyon scratched the back of his head, accepting his scolding obediently.

Technically, he came out quite lucky. If thousands of years to that world was trillions to them, that meant a single second was worth at least a billion. A billion seconds in exchange for one… 30 years in the blink of an eye… Such a thought made Dyon shudder. It seemed he had been a bit too reckless this time around.

Luckily, the trial grounds held one just enough for those seconds to only transfer over as a few months, or else who knew what could have happened in such a time span.

“I didn’t expect the time dilation to be so severe.” Dyon said apologetically. “Did I miss anything important?”

Ri huffed. Then, her expression took a complete 180 as she smiled sweetly toward Alauna, intertwining their arms as she all but ignored Dyon.

“There’s been a battle going on for two months already. We’ve been taking turns waiting for you to come back so you’d understand the situation as quickly as possible.”

Dyon’s brows raised in curiosity. He knew the kind of talents he had under him. A battle raging for two months meant the enemy couldn’t be taken lightly.

“What’s going on?”

“Another attack was launched against the dwarves in the east. But when we split our armies to help them since you hadn’t been back yet, there was a sudden attack to the south as well.”

“Oh?” Dyon’s gaze turned a bit dull. It wasn’t that he was uninterested, but rather that his thoughts were churning. “Did someone expose a connection between us as my elvin persona?”

Dyon hadn’t appeared before the dwarves in a while, mostly because he no longer had access to his elvin form after rebuilding Ri’s body.

“We thought so as well. It’s too much of a coincidence. But who would possibly know?”

“It’s not that mysterious.” Dyon said calmly. “There’s only one. Kaori.

“It wouldn’t be impossible for him to find out that I have the ability to change my race. After all, that’s what I relied on to defeat Oshire. We broadcasted that battle for the Mortal Empire to see. Finding someone who would divulge this information is easy. With his intelligence, he could easily deduce that it was me. Maybe they even know the truth behind all of my identities by now.”

“Is that a bad thing?”

“Not necessarily. I didn’t expect to keep it hidden forever. I only used those identities to feed the insecurities of the Failed Clans. Whether or not this is exposed doesn’t matter. It’s already bought us enough time. On top of this, simply saying that one man was responsible wouldn’t calm them either. In fact, the idea that I did all of this alone might strike even more fear in them.  

“Kaori knows this. But what he likely didn’t expect was that I’d take so long to appear even with this much pressure.

“This is definitely only the surface of his plans… The real show starts now.”

Dyon grinned, the skies trembling with every slight change in his emotions.

“I happen to have a few things to test that require some lab rats. I don’t mind crushing another genius in the process.”
