Book 10: Chapter 148: Scroll (3)
Dyon took a step forward before his steps suddenly paused.
His hand waved casually to the side, causing an abrupt blade of qi slice through the air faster than the giant could react.
In that moment, the giants felt that his death was imminent, there’s was nothing he could do… An attack of his level, despite its simple outward appearance… It was far beyond his means!
Before it even reached him, a firm grip of despair squeezed his heart, causing him to drop to his knees. A proud Giant, just like this, was completely subdued.
But, before the blade reached him, Dyon snapped his fingers and it vanished from thin air.
“Consider that a warning.” He said casually. Dyon didn’t believe his words were worth him losing his life over. This alone was enough.
At that moment, many people were happy that it hadn’t been them who stood out to oppose Dyon.
“Dad, can I participate?” Alauna asked with wide eyes filled with expectation.
Dyon laughed. “Sure. Have fun.”
Alauna clapped happily, diving down into the crowd of awaiting warriors. Though there were guards and referees put in place, none dared to stop Alauna. That Giant Dyon subdued with a wave of a hand wasn’t just any normal expert…
Dyon floated down to the elevated platform of elders. No, it was more accurate to say that he landed directly before the three thrones that Old Claw, Ancestor Giant and Ancestor Scholar sat upon.
“You old fogies are pretty good.” Dyon said with a smile. “Despite knowing I refined a half-step immortal grade pill capable of extending your lives by hundreds of thousands of years, you actually didn’t come to see me personally. This sort of will power is commendable.”
The eyes of Emperor Giant narrowed.
The atmosphere was far too oppressive, however the area surrounding Dyon, Luna and Madeleine was akin to a fresh breeze.
The truth was that they hadn’t known how potent Dyon’s pill was. After all, only Dyon, Luna and Alauna had come in direct contact with it.
They were at the end of their lifespan. Who wouldn’t want to live longer? However, they had their pride as well. Dyon’s origins were simply too illogical. And the things he was able to accomplish.. Even more so.
“I’ll tell you the truth, I’m not very fond of the idea of working with Sapientia. I find them to be shameless. They claim to be scholars who only seek knowledge, but the horde all of it for themselves. Plus, what kind of lame fashion choice is it to wear glasses when you have no need of them?
“That said, your Nephilim Alliance and Transcendent Beast Alliance still have a chance should you choose correctly.
“Both of you struggle with the purity of your bloodlines. With my abilities, purifying them is as easy as flipping over a hand, don’t you think?”
Dyon shook his head. “Never mind, never mind. We can talk about these matters later or not at all for all I care. Since everyone has come here to see the reordering of the Heaven’s Scroll, it isn’t very appropriate for me to stall this for too long.
“I will let the matter of my Sprite Alliance brothers slide for now…”
With a wave of Dyon’s hands, three more thrones appeared. If one looked closely, they even seemed to be of higher quality that the ones the three Ancestors sat upon.
Without regard for etiquette, Dyon, Luna, and Madeleine sat on the same level as these three Ancestors without a care in the world.
Ancestor Scholar gazed deeply at Dyon, but in the end, he said nothing about the matter.
“Let’s begin then.” Were all the words he said.
Ancestor Giant’s temper had been quenched as he grew old, but he was still fiery. He had just been about to lash out when he heard Ancestor Scholar’s words. In the end, he reevaluated the situation… Not just anyone could make a mockery of the Immortal Blood Gong array…
“Since Brother Scholar has said so, we will begin.
“The Nephilim Gathering takes places once every thousand years. As you all know, there is no age limit nor cultivation limit in participating, and the rewards will be enticing even to Higher Existences!
“The top 1000 will be placed on the Heaven’s Scroll and will be bestowed a Title by this legendary treasure that will be a permanent boost to your strength in the future. This is an opportunity even the elderly among you don’t want to miss.
“There are no rules or structure to this battle. The only requirement is that one rely on their own strength!
“Rise!”
Ancestor Giant roared, causing nine silver and gold dragon embroidered pillars to shoot into the skies. Even the Immortal Blood Gong array quaked under their might.
Dyon smiled. ‘It seems this is the reason for this formation. Without it, the planet would implode.’
A moment later, a massive golden plated scroll rose to hover above it all. Though the scroll unfurled like paper, the names upon it was actually chiseled in like it was a real metal piece. The sight was odd.
Soon, one name after another began to vanish. With the 1000 year mark met, those of the past were erased, making way for those of the future!
‘This Heaven’s Scroll is truly arrogant.’ Dyon sneered. ‘I suddenly feel itchy all over. I wonder if this scroll would dare to erase my name in a thousand years…’
“There is no need to worry about biased judgements. The Scroll will observe every battle itself! Not, let the Gathering begin!”
