Chapter 1873 Almost
Dyon's wives were all shocked by the changes that Mortal Alliance had undergone. Though each of them had spent time with Dyon over the last 12 years, they hadn't travelled back to here.
Everything seemed too perfect.
Watching dozens of planets spinning in such close proximity to each other, shrouded by the light of stars and darkness of blackholes... it was a sight they hadn't ever thought they'd be able to behold...
The cities themselves were even more spectacular. It was as though every one constructed had a capital city in mind. It was hard to believe that some of them were mere vassal and satellite cities.
"You worked little sister Meiying too hard." Madeleine said with a slightly reproachful gaze.
Dyon scratched the back of his head awkwardly. He knew that Madeleine was quite protective of both Delia and Meiying, so he really had nothing to say back even though it was actually Meiying who was always hounding him.
"Big brother!"
Dyon sighed in relief as he was saved by this call.
A gorgeous sight filled the air. Two birds with feathers as black as ink soared toward him. Their bodied were lit ablaze, flickering with an unending yet comfortable heat.
In the end, they landed, their bodies quickly morphing into two beautiful young women with pale, yet somehow healthy complexions. It could only be said that their skin was so delicate it seemed that even the small heat could melt them away.
Their hair was a deep maroon, and their eyes reflected a dark opal light. The both of them couldn't have been more than 17 or 18 years old, but they were already gorgeous beyond belief as they happily dove into Dyon's arms.
Dyon smiled lightly, rubbing their heads. He had almost forgot that it had been nearly two years since he had gone to retrieve Hell's Right Eye. Mia and Bella had clearly grown since then.
He didn't know what happened, but after breaking into the celestial realm, these two little girls had stopped calling him uncle and started calling him big brother.
At first, he was ecstatic, believing they had regained their memories. But after a few moments, his hopes were dashed.
Still, he continued to allow them to call him big brother and he stopped neglecting them so much. Mia and Bella definitely deserved better than what he gave them.
"Ah, it seems you two have broken into the Dao Realm. How could big brother not give you two a gift?"
Dyon grinned as two flowing black dresses appeared in his hands. One hardly needed to be informed to realize they were both of the supreme grade.
Though Dyon was disappointed the two hadn't regained their memories, their abrupt change in the manner they called to him lit a hope in his heart. This time, he wouldn't give up on them. n/-o/-V-)e(.l-(B.(I)-n
Just as the women were happily chatting away with one another and Dyon was looking on with a smile on his face, he suddenly felt a keen danger.
A sharp aura streaked toward the skies, aiming for his back with a deadly intent.
Dyon spun, his palm striking outward on reflex.
BOOM!
Dyon took several heavy steps backward. If it wasn't for Meiying's ingenious design, this road to Soul Palace would have been devastated beyond repair.
Surprisingly, though, Dyon wasn't enraged by this attack. In fact, he smiled brightly.
"You've gotten stronger." He said with a grin.
Before him, a man who was a near carbon copy of himself stood. There were only a few differences.
While Dyon's skin had a light caramel tone with a golden sheen, this young man's skin was as white as snow. While Dyon's hair was a golden-brown and barely a few inches long, this young man's hair was, again, white as the clouds in the sky, stretching down to the small of his back. While Dyon's nose was more rounded, while this young man's nose was sharper and almost elegant.
Still, if one looked at the two of them, you could only conclude that they were brothers.
"And you haven't improved at all." Junior said with a grin.
"What can I say? I was spending quality time with my daughter. You'd better keep improving, or else she'll beat you one day."
If it was anyone else Dyon said would beat him, Junior might get angry. But when it came to Alauna, he had a soft spot.
"I hope that day comes." He said with a smile.
In truth, in almost all aspects, Junior was only marginally weaker than Dyon. And, the only reason this was, was because Dyon had entered the 2nd Dao Stage, while Junior was still at the 1st Dao stage. This gap would be hard to bridge.
Unfortunately, it was only almost all aspects.
When Junior was born, Dyon thought that he would gain his own overwhelming soul talent. But over the years, Dyon realized that though Junior did have good soul talent, it was incomparable to his own.
After 12 years, Junior had only barely managed to enter the celestial soul realm. In fact, he was slower than Alauna who had already comprehended Comet Qi.
In addition, after reaching that realm, though Junior and Dyon were more connected, and even shared each other's memories and experiences, they still felt like two separate people. This situation was yet another that confused Dyon.
He had thought that after that point, Junior and himself would basically become two sides of the same coin, but this didn't end up being the case.
Luckily, Dyon still greatly benefitted from this relationship. Thanks to Junior, his death comprehension had entered the Dao Realm. In addition, despite having a vastly weaker soul than Dyon, Junior still had Dyon's energy talent.
Also, one had to remember that the top 3 defensive constitutions were Titan Diamond Body, the Silver Mirror constitution, and, finally, Junior's own Death God Body!
Plus, as a result of absorbing Orcus' skeleton, Junior's progression within his constitution was actually further along than Dyon's own.
