Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

But after a few moments he relaxed. The humanoid shape of the angel spirit no longer took form. Instead, it became a beautiful white dove, staring at Dyon curiously.

The connection between them had already formed. Though Dyon had only cast [Cleanse], this was already the equivalent of defeating the universe spirit. As a result, it had become his 300th conquered universe.

In the Mortal Alliance, the auspicious changes could already be seen.

Little Alauna felt her Faith swell once more, as did Dyon's wives. The energy density increased by a fraction, and many felt an inexplicable feeling of happiness even though they weren't entirely certain of what had just happened.

Still, the faintly understood that… Their Mortal Alliance had grown stronger once more!

Sensing the changes, Dyon smiled.

'Even weakened, this dove spirit provides a 40% boost to energy cultivation talent. It's no weaker than Soul Universe in this regard.'

As one conquered more universes and quadrants, their abilities would begin to provide a synergistic effect. Eventually, after enough years, the benefits of every universe would become equally spread across the whole of the territory.

To put matters simply, given enough time, the soul qi density of Soul Universe would be distributed and shared, for example. Not only would this not decrease Soul Universe's usefulness, but it would actually increase it!

Dyon also believe the previous angel spirit wasn't so simple. However, it had lost this strength after being cleansed.

Still, Dyon wasn't regretful of this. He believed that the Olympus Clan had too many underhanded schemes. What if they placed other contingences to hurt those who tried to take advantage of what they left behind? Dyon refused to get caught with his pants around his ankles. It was better safe than sorry.

"Alright, let's go. You all can slowly enjoy the benefits of this place later. For now… We have more universes to conquer!"

The Emperor Giants watched in awe as Dyon made something that should have been as difficult as finding universe spirits look as easy as taking a stroll.

They felt a faint bit of heartache as their Faith decreased right before their eyes, but reaffirmed their resolve after seeing Dyon's strength. They were certain that their decision was correct. If they didn't have someone so powerful to rely upon… Their only ending would be death.

Just a month later, all 100 universes of the Emperor Giant Quadrant had been added to Dyon's strength. It was hard to believe, but they had all personally witnessed it. This was something they could only accept.

Finally, they reappeared within the Emperor Giant Grand Hall, harboring dazed expressions.

Was this truly the strength of a Higher Existence? Why did it seem even more exaggerated than what they initially believed?

Dyon smiled. "Now that you have become one of my own, I guess I should fulfill my promises, right?"

Dyon scanned them all with a calm expression, observing their excitement.

"Now… Which of you will be the first to become an angel?"

Once more, Dyon felt several gazes boring into his soul. This Emperor Giants truly knew how to wear their emotions on their sleeve.

"Before we begin, I think I should pour a bit of cold water on your dreams." Dyon suddenly said. "I'm sure as Giants, you're aware of how your race came about, correct?"

Emperor Angelus frowned, but still answered in the end.

"Yes… Giants are humans at the end of the day. It's just that we've integrated with high grade bloodlines, whether that be from other higher race humans or beasts. As a result, our bodies expanded in size to accommodate these bloodlines. If we remained out original size, we'd live miserable lives and die miserable deaths… Wait!"

Dyon nodded. "Once I cleanse your bloodlines, you will lose your overwhelming size. Even a fool will understand that you've perfectly integrated your bloodlines. At that point, it will no longer be a harbored secret.

"This means that if you want to accept my blessings now, you have one of two choices: Either disappear from the Federation entirely until the Ancient Battlefield descends, or be very selective of who gains my blessing until the time is right…

"Whoever accepts my blessing cannot, under any circumstances, reveal themselves to the public.

"You're all very focused on the Titans as enemies, but the truth is that there are lurking hazards even within our Tower Quadrants. These individuals care about nothing but their own benefits. To them, this isn't a war of Failed Clans versus us. It's a war simply for survival. Even if they have to sellout one of their own, they will do it!"

Dyon's gaze turned cold. All this time, he hadn't forgotten about the Mist Clan for even a moment and he had been monitoring them all this time.

The fact that, even now, they hadn't revealed their strength, even at the risk of losing their territory, meant that they were gearing up for the penultimate moment.

The Water Mist Sect performed terribly during the first mission. But this didn't put Dyon at ease at all!

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Angelus made a decision.

"I believe that disappearing from the Federation will only bring us more problems. There's already talks of using our alliance's power to sweep through the quadrants that had been too weak to make it to the first parliament gathering. If we do this, they may very well turn their pitch forks toward us."

Emperor Angelus took a deep breath. "Please begin with the pillars of our Clans. It will be easier to excuse their absence from the Federation. After the Sprite Alliance matters are concluded, we can then do the younger generation."

Dyon nodded. "There's only one more matter to speak about… Anak's marriage with Chrysanthemum of the Water Mist Sect is a bit… problematic."

"Please enlighten me, Higher Existence Sacharro."

"The Water Mist Sect isn't to be trusted. My Sacharro Clan's intelligence unit has more than enough evidence to believe that they are pawns of a Failed Clan.

"Luckily, Chrysanthemum isn't very important to the Water Mist Sect. If she had been a genius, it would be very possible that they had also set their sights on your Emperor Giant Clan, believing you to be useful to them in some way… but since she isn't…

"However, this isn't enough for me to feel at ease. Maybe it's precisely because Chrysanthemum is lacking that they felt this would be the perfect cover. The Water Mist Sect may very well be targeting you all through Anak."

BOOM!
