Lilith startled herself awake, pushing herself up so quickly that her head spun. She quickly checked her surroundings only to find her little brothers by her bedside. In the end she sunk down and sighed.
‘I lost again.’
It was only then she found that the environnt was different than what she was used to. This wasn’t her courtyard, or her bed. And that… Lilith’s face twisted as her black eyes landed and the handso face of an insufferable bastard.
The gritting of her teeth filled the silent room.
“Big sister, relax. You’ll hurt yourself again.” The two brothers tried to coax their elder sister. One would think they were the older siblings by this interaction.
“Why did you bring us here?” Lilith asked through gritted teeth, staring daggers at Dyon.
“Isn’t that obvious? I brought you here because you’d be useful to . You’re all incredible talents and it would be beneficial for to make use of you all.”
Lilith laughed a hoarse laughter. “Make use of , do you believe you’re qualified to do that?”
Dyon refrained from rolling his eyes.
The Lilith he rembered was a calm and composed woman who faced death unblinkingly. He could still rember the day she tried to kill herself after realizing what Dyon was asking of her in exchange for healing her soul. If it wasn’t because Dyon was stronger than she was… No, he wasn’t stronger. Rather, she was simply injured and he had tricks up his sleeve.
Either way, if it wasn’t for him being capable of stopping her, either one of them could have died that day.
But the Lilith that was here right now was nothing like that. She was flustered, she had lost control of her emotions, and she was too quick to snap back. Dyon would be lying if he said he hadn’t lost so respect for her.
Dyon suddenly stretched out his right arm, causing Lilith’s two younger brothers to shift forward, blocking his path.
“You two are a bit annoying.” Dyon sighed. “Go away for a bit.”
Lilith’s little brothers were very talented. Dyon rembered that they were only 7 or 8 years old last ti he saw them. But, even still, they weren’t as talented as their elder sister. So, even though it had been about ten years since they last t, they were still in the saint realm. How could they be a match for Dyon?
They found themselves forcibly suppressed within a defensive array. Dyon left them in the room so they wouldn’t go too wild thinking he was raping their sister or sothing nonsensical like that. But at the very least, they couldn’t move freely, nor could Dyon hear their voices anymore.
Lilith’s venom-like gaze turned toward Dyon, but she found it difficult to do much of anything. She felt that her body was a complete ss. But that was when Dyon’s right fist suddenly clenched and sothing Lilith could have never predicted happened… Dyon’s forearm disappeared into a sprinkling rain of golden dust.
The reality hit Lilith like a ton of bricks. Dyon hadn’t used his left hand to disrespect her. If anything, it was a sign of respect at the ti as his right hand was now his weaker. And, on top of that…
‘He’s missing 9 of his ridians…’ Lilith’s heartbeat sunk.
Dyon knew exactly what she was thinking. She probably believed that as long as the Sapientia Auction happened, she could finally comprehend celestial qi and move forward. After she broke through, she thought that Dyon could never be her match.
But, she had no idea that Dyon was handicapped himself.
“Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, have you collected yourself enough for us to have a real conversation?”
‘He showed his weakness to calm down…’ In the end, Lilith turned her gaze away and nodded slowly, dying of sha within.
“In reality, I think that your Devil Quadrants will beco very useful to soon. At the very least, I’ll likely need information they have. At the worst, I may need to visit myself.”
“… That’s impossible. It took us years to get here and that was with our Devil Quadrants being directly adjacent to Chaos Universe.”
“We have planet grade arrays. As long as you know the coordinates of your quadrant, getting there is simple. Of course, that would also require your fellow Devil Path cultivators giving us permission… Which is where you co in.”
Once a universe is truly conquered, teleporting to it freely isn’t possible. Permission of its owner is needed. Of course, this doesn’t stop individuals from going the long way around. This was what those heading to The Conference now were being forced to do because of the Star Clan.
There was another way around this, of course. And that was to place a connecting formation there, much like what Amphorae, Lyla and Zaire had done in Star Clan territory.
“…” Lilith tried to hide her shock. Of course, she knew that Soul Universe had planet grade arrays, however they were never able to take them, not with the 99 universes monitoring them, anyway. It was part of the deal they signed keeping the 99 universes silent about their true identity.
And… As embarrassing as it was to say…. The devil cultivators didn’t have any Array Alchemy Planet Lords despite being an outer quadrant… They didn’t even have Array Alchemy Moon Lords…
“Of course, I don’t plan on asking you to do things for nothing… How would you feel about giving you that Sovereign Spark you’ve been chasing for all these years?”
BOOM!
Lilith suddenly felt like her world was collapsing.
