Book 9: Chapter 165: Love of Food (1)

Dyon swept Four’s corpse into his spatial ring after scouring the information in her mind.

It seemed that the reason the Sparrow Legion hadn’t come was because there was no Sparrow Legion in the tower quadrants at all.

Four was actually a Princess of not the Beast Protection Association, but of the Transcendent Beast Alliance.

Though the Dhino Subspecies controlled 50% of the Transcendent Beast Alliance, they obviously weren’t a cohesive whole. They were, after all, a subspecies, not a Clan. There were many different cultures and goals within their masses.

As such, there was room for many other powerful Clans to exist. One such Clan was the Humming Sparrow Clan where Four originated from. They could be considered one of the least powers of the Alliance, controlling about five or so quadrants alone.

It was a shame that Kaori overestimated Dyon.

What he said was true. In order to keep a low profile, although BPA had cards in almost every quadrant, and knew where the universe spirits of most of them were already, they hadn’t made a move to conquer them just yet.

This made sense. After all, the Transcendent Beast Alliance was the weakest of the five outer powers, just a margin weaker than the Devil Quadrants. Though suddenly taking over these territories would net them a massive boon of Faith, it would also alert the other Outer Quadrants, giving them a reason to come together and split their territory amongst themselves.

Though the tower quadrants might be ignorant to the true roots of BPA, but outer quadrants weren’t so stupid. The only reason they had let it go to this point was because the Transcendent Beast Alliance did have a right to protect their fellow beasts, but that didn’t mean they’d be allowed to go as far as strengthening themselves with their territory.

Due to this, Kaori was careful about Faith and played his cards sparingly. In the end, he decided it was safest to battle within the Gates instead of potentially being met with Faith stronger than they could handle. He was essentially hedging for the possibility that their opponent was also from the outer quadrants.

Unfortunately, his bet was incorrect. Had Dyon had to fight against Four’s Faith, even though he now controlled 131 universes, he would still fall very short.

One had to remember that he technically only had the Faith of 98 universes right now. In addition, though the Transcendent Beast Alliance only had Moon Grade Faith and not the Sapientia’s Planet Grade Faith, and were also an Alliance instead of a single Clan, Four was a Peak Dao Realm expert, not a Higher Celestial like Oshire.

All in all, Dyon was correct. Technically, Kaori’s choice was the smartest. But, he made the same mistake Aritzia had except this time, in the opposite direction. While the latter underestimated him, the former overestimated him!

Wasn’t it too sad to have such ‘genius minds’ make such fundamental mistakes?

This was all essentially to say that Four’s Sparrow Legion wasn’t here because she wasn’t technically meant to be here either.

She was a genius of the Humming Sparrow Clan. At less than 20 000 years old, she had stepped into the 11^th Dao Realm. They had more than just high hopes in her, they felt like her genius could raise their Clan to the level of the Sapientia.

Unfortunately, she fell in love and died here for a man who didn’t blink twice in abandoning her.

The disgust in Dyon’s heart spilled over.

If Kaori had no feelings for this Princess, it would be one thing. But according to her memories, Kaori would affectionately call her Allaleya when they were alone, and even in public, he couldn’t bear to call her Four, so he called her Ms. Humming.

It was either Kaori had feelings for this woman and still fled, or, he never had feelings for her at all and only sought to use her status to give himself power.

No matter which one was true, Dyon couldn’t feel anything but disgust.

Even if he felt that he was too weak to face Dyon, with the spatial disk in his hand, saving one more person wouldn’t have been impossible. Though not guaranteed, he would have had a 60% likelihood of succeeding. But, he actually threw away such an option to save a woman who loved him because he felt his life was worth more than the risk.

“He really deserves to die.” Dyon’s gaze turned cold.

Before the last wisp of Allaleya’s soul was taken by his [Devour], Dyon suddenly felt bad for this woman who loved such a useless man.

In the end, he wrapped the last wisp in star qi and let it hover within his Mind’s Eye.

Even when her life was ending, she still called that man ‘my Kaori’. It was clear she didn’t hate him for his decision at all. It seemed love wasn’t always rational.

Dyon wasn’t sure what to do with her, but at least keep her last bit of lifeforce like this meant that the Humming Sparrow Clan wouldn’t be alerted to her death. This would give him so breathing room.

After settling things, Dyon returned to Saru and Brahman. The former still had a sweet smile on her face, but the former looked on with an exceptionally complicated gaze.

Finally, unable to bear it, he sunk to his knees and kowtowed, laying down his pride and accepting Dyon as his master.
