Book 11: Chapter 84: Premonition (2)

‘Easier than Famine… huh…?’

Dyon felt like going back in time just to kick his younger by five-minute self. Who created this perverted trial? The damned Heavens were always screwing him.

‘The sudden change in direction of his strike from above to my right… That was Battle Axe True Weapon Will…

‘The homing abilities of his red arrows… That was Bow and Arrow True Weapon Will…

‘The way his sword suddenly exploded in length… That was Glaive True Weapon Will…

‘The way his final strike felt so heavy… That was Halberd True Weapon Will…

‘The way it feels as though my body is being boiled from inside out… That’s Staff True Weapon Will…

‘Goddammit…’

Dyon didn’t feel even the smallest bit of satisfaction that his hypothesis had been correct. Not only was War and the Battle God connected, but it truly felt that War was a level higher in skill.

Dyon was certain that War God was far more powerful than War. After all, if Zeus, the Sky God, was anything to go by, War didn’t stand a chance against the Battle God. Zeus had been capable of killing three facet Overlords as a celestial… Even Dyon couldn’t compare to that.

However, this didn’t contradict the fact War was much more skilled. In fact, if it wasn’t for the power cap of this World, Dyon was certain that War would be much more powerful than Battle God!

Battle God had to switch weapons to tap into a completely new kind of will, all to tap into these abilities. However, War was capable of using them all freely, interchangeably, and with the same weapon!

Dyon roared as a second resonating strike surged through his body. War’s broadsword bore down, its weight constantly increasing even after layered strikes were sent forward in waves.

‘The underlying pinning of all of this is the Concept of Momentum. Each and every one of the True Weapon Wills taps into this concept… It’s no wonder… What could be more important in War if not momentum?

‘Grasping the right timings, pressing your opponent to pressure them, retreating to deflate their advances, war was simply a game of momentum!’

If War didn’t comprehend the Concept of Momentum, how could it be possible for his weapon to increase in size and weight while gaining speed at the same time? It was practically turning its nose up at every rule of physics Dyon had ever learned!

‘There’s another problem. This red qi isn’t exactly flames either. It’s just like the famine qi from before, it contains the essence of war…

‘In that case… scatter.’

Even as the sound of glass shattering resounded through the battle room, a blazing halo of gold appeared atop Dyon’s head. In that moment, not only had he shattered his comprehension of his Weapon’s Master Will, he also completely crushed his War God Martial Intent as well.

To anyone else, such an act would have been devastating, potentially even leading to the death of the dao heart and ultimately their own death. However, Dyon’s Dao Heart, radiating blinding rainbow lights, didn’t even waver in the slightest.

A bloody grin appeared on Dyon’s face. He looked no different from a madman.

His body was pressed against the ground, the bones in his body were bruised and fractured, even his skull seemed to want to deform against the hard marble floors.

Above him, a red blade sought to take his life, but an inexplicable disdain was etched deep within his gaze.

“Your abilities… I like them. I think I’ll take them for myself.”

Dyon’s pupils became an opaque white once more.

‘Everything is connected… In order to grasp momentum, one must understand balance… What advantages do you have, what advantages do your opponents have? What about the vice versa…? Only by understanding these things can you tip this balance in your favor and grasp momentum…

‘Oneness reigns above all!’

In that instant, Dyon’s comprehension of the Concept of Momentum skyrocketed, because equal to his comprehension of the Concept of Balance in the blink of an eye. This was the true strength of [One Above All]…

War’s heavy spear suddenly became incomparably light. The layering strikes of his ‘spear’ True Weapon Will disappeared with the snap of a finger. Though the length of his weapon remained the same, he no longer had the leverage he needed to apply such a great amount of force.

Dyon’s arms pressed forward. His own momentum suddenly became so greatly that War’s broadsword was nearly launched to the ceiling.

Dyon’s movements were light and quick. One would think he couldn’t feel the terrible pain running rampant through his body at all.

War’s sword had been parried and was currently too long to make an attack toward Dyon quick enough, but his war qi reacted more than quickly enough, shooting countless arrows from their nine levitating forms.

Unfortunately, though the arrow maintained their homing ability, due to Dyon hijacking the Concept of Momentum, they lost their constant acceleration ability.

“It’s a shame.” Dyon cut the head off of War’s steed before stabbing him directly in the heart. “Had you fought me first, my Concept of Balance wouldn’t be refined enough to snatch momentum from you. Blame the Heavens for trying to make that bullshit request of me.

“[Devour].”
