Dyon landed on the ground, looking up at all of the boxed cages with a complex gaze, but in the end, he decisively left. If he was soft hearted now, it would all be for naught.
Taking out a red plaque, he crushed it imdiately. Although it hurt because he knew just how expensive these plaques were, he had no choice.
‘This concealnt array will last three days, the auction is in four… Should be just enough…’ With that thought, Dyon sprinted forward with a plan in mind.
Dyon wasn’t worried about being found out. When he spoke to Dima, the reason why he was heard was because Dima had opened up a slot in order to force him to put on energy restricting handcuffs. These handcuffs were what Dima asked Dyon to put on. If that slot hadn’t been opened, Dyon’s voice would have been absorbed by the cage. This was why Dyon wasn’t worried about Dima screaming for help. The best part was that even if Dima had so sort of communication device with him, the cage would absorb the ssage as well.
Unless soone opened the cage, they would never find out Dyon had left. And considering they hadn’t fed him since he’d been here, they wouldn’t open the slot either. Dyon just had to hope that Dima’s disappearance didn’t raise too many alarms.
“There are a few security asures around the base,” Little Yang reminded, reclining leisurely on Dyon’s shoulder.
Dyon nodded. Normally, he would believe in Clara’s concealnt array to ignore these restrictions because when a concealnt array reached a high enough level, detection arrays ant nothing before them. However, would a re 98th quadrant have arrays capable of teleporting people from planet to planet? Or asteroid to asteroid? No. Yet this 98th quadrant did. Why was that so?
If one wanted to teleport within a universe freely, whether that even be from one end to another, a cot level teleportation array was a must. If you wanted to teleport to another universe within a quadrant, a moon level teleportation array was required. If you wanted to teleport freely from quadrant to quadrant, a planet level teleportation array was required.
Of course, the break down of this was slightly more complicated since each of those sub levels had 6 stages, but this was the gist.
This was all to say that in the state this quadrant was in, even teleporting to another planet should have been impossible. The fact that they could ant one of two things: they were either relying on their partners from other quadrants to help them, or these were arrays left over from the era back when this quadrant was once ranked 20th.
Either way, it ant that whatever detection arrays they had couldn’t be underestimated. Therefore, Dyon relied heavily on the twins since he was practically blind without his soul.

On a distant asteroid reserved as the operation base of Soul Market, a very important eting was taking place.
The room itself looked much like a court room with elders to one side and a judge’s podium up front.
“We only have half a week until the auction, is everything in place?” An old woman very familiar to Dyon spoke.
“Everything is prepared, White Mother.” A subordinate responded. “The venue is prepared and the fail safes are in place. We’ve also received reports of those with invitations starting to slowly trickle into Cathedral City.”
“Good. I won’t allow any mistakes this ti. Our 98th quadrant can’t afford to anger these powerhouses.”
The reality of the matter was that the 98th quadrant didn’t have anyone on the celestial or dao floors. So, what did this an? It ant that it was impossible for any celestials and dao formation experts to co by normal ans.
This ant that the dao formation experts who were coming to take part in this auction had been travelling for decades, just for this one event. In fact, the only reason the ti taken was so short was because they used the 74th quadrant as a short-cut. This was a slight blessing in disguise for Dyon although he didn’t know it. The 74th quadrant didn’t have anyone powerful enough to enter the dao floors, aning that only celestials were sent.
That said, if sothing was ruined, how could the 98th quadrant withstand their anger?
After a mont of collecting her thoughts, the Mother of the Nunnery made a decision. “We’re changing the schedule. I’ve been feeling uneasy the past few days… Start the transport today but leave the problem cases for us elders to deal with. Move up the auction as well, I’m sure those tycoons will be happy.”
The surrounding elders shifted uncomfortably.
“White Mother, this has to be ticulously planned. Even our least populated base has more than ten million soul slaves. If we’re unorganized, it could cause problems.”
If they could simply transport everyone in their cages, there would be no issue. But, they couldn’t.
Silver sponge tal was normally very beneficial to them, however it was a massive detrint now.
Imagine the result of placing an energy sucking tal on a teleportation array that relied on energy. The result was obvious. The arrays wouldn’t have enough power to reach the power location and they could end up losing millions of soul slaves to the depths of space.
Because of this, every prisoner had to be transferred from their cage, into another vessel, before being teleported. If they rushed this, massive problems were all but certain to occur.
Unfortunately, this was a problem for Dyon too. If they opened his cage too early, everything would be spoiled.
“Do as I say.”
