Reaper of the Martial World

Book 12: Chapter 5: Determined (2)

“You… What are you talking about?”

Maybe these were the most questions Dyon had ever asked in his lifetime. He wasn’t used to being confused or having others lead him by the nose. Even those far more powerful than him usually danced on his palms to his own rhythm.

“Titan Diamond Body for your flesh. Silver Mirror Constitution for your meridians. Eternity’s Balance for your soul. Death God Body for your bones.”

Junior poked Dyon’s chest and forehead with every line he spoke as though reminding Dyon just what part of his body was where. He didn’t seem to notice that Dyon froze completely.

“Wha…”

“Before you speak, put on some damn clothes. There are two innocent fairies here.”

Dyon looked down at himself, seemingly only now realizing that he hadn’t actually bothered to wear much of anything in the last ten years. But, considering his personality, he wasn’t exactly embarrassed by the fact. He only casually conjured some sweatpants up for the sake of Saru and Lilith’s blushing faces.

Dyon had too many questions. Why was it that they were here? Even if this was Junior’s reason, what was the point of bringing Saru and Lilith? Also, why did the two women seem to weather the suppression of the Immortal Plane just as easily as he did? Saru being an Overlord would make things a bit easier, but Lilith was still at the Peak Dao Realm.

However, he didn’t ask about any of these things because what Junior had just said was too shocking.

“What is that supposed to mean? What is the purpose of these things if they’re all connected to the Heavens one way or another?”

“Obviously it’s so that you can fuse them into one, creating a new constitution that’s not under the control of the Heavens at all.”

“Create a new constitution? Are you insane? I just spent ten years creating a one meter wide world that amounts to nothing more than a big rock. I pass out every single time I try to observe my own body with the highest detail. How the hell am I supposed to create a new constitution?”

“Tough luck, it’s your only choice. No matter how much you want to tear yourself away from the Heavens, talent ultimately matters. It’s the cruel truth. If you really did something as foolish as stripping your constitutions away from yourself, you’d become even more of an ant than you already are to this place

“In truth, you’ve already partially done it. You technically have two Titan Diamond Body constitutions, three Eternity’s Balance constitutions and ten Silver Mirror constitutions. They’re already mutated versions of themselves, which by extension weakens the control the Heavens have over them.

“However, I only have this singular Death God Body. After we fuse, if you don’t take that opportunity to accelerate your evolution into something new, then the grip the Heavens have on you will actually tighten.”

“You’re not making any sense. Every constitution is fundamentally created with the same runes. If I combine them, no matter how many, the fundamental runes aren’t going to change. They’ll just rearrange themselves differently.”

“You’re an idiot. How can fundamental runes work by means of normal common sense? In the mind of a mortal, ice and water have the same chemical structure and are therefore the same substance at different temperature points. But, if you observed the fundamental runes of each, you’d realize that they were drastically different.

“It’s the same concept as quantum physics. On a macro level, everything works by means of normal logic. However, when you observe things on the smallest of levels, you suddenly have substances acting as both particles and waves, all while they can randomly leap and switch places as they please.

“Fundamental runes act on an even smaller scale than what quantum physics encompasses. What are you doing wasting your time applying normal reason to it?”

Dyon froze for the second time in such a short period.

His mind began to work through things at warp speed. A lot of the questions he had were suddenly solved in an instant.

Junior said nothing, simply waiting silently. Even though Dyon inexplicably remained in this state for half a year, Junior, Saru and Lilith didn’t even so much as breathe too heavily.

“… I understand.”

Dyon hadn’t cultivated in this time, but the three of them could feel that he was much more powerful than he had been just half a year ago. If he were to battle a fully healthy Emytheus now, the battle wouldn’t last more than a handful of exchanges.

“About damn time.”

“My face really is too annoying, put that smirk away.”

“Many people hate me because I was born too handsome, I didn’t think my own self would fall into such a category too.”

“Self hate and self awareness come hand in – wait, what did you just say? “My own sel –“.”

Junior’s palm pressed itself flush against Dyon’s chest.

“Tsk, too smart for our own good. Just be sure to not fuck this up. There aren’t any other versions of us to sacrifice. Be sure to call our new constitution something cool and flashy.”

Junior turned his head and winked toward Saru and Lilith.

In the next moment, he turned into numerous motes of black light, swirling around and eventually into Dyon’s body.

Even though the two women knew they were one in the same… They couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss.
