Chapter 1890 Why are you Crying?

"Firstly, there's only one of him. I would much rather deal with one powerful force I can diligently plan for that multiple powerful forces a step or two below in strength.

"Secondly, your Devil Quadrants are the closest to my domain. Even if I didn't use a teleportation array, travelling through the void toward your territories wouldn't take much longer than travelling to an adjacent quadrant of the tower quadrants.

"And thirdly, your territory is far too unstable. First, the Mathilde Clan's loyalties lie elsewhere. And second... do you really believe that that Sokzac's Clan won't see anything fishy about his death even if you picked the perfect and most convenient time?"

Lilith stood completely silent.

"Just before he died, your father announced that he would be cutting off your engagement. That much wasn't actually planned by me, it was just a beautiful coincidence.

"But, what do you think would happen once the fiery tempered Lilith Ravana suddenly found out that the feelings of warmth she had toward her fiancé were all fake? I wonder if the princess would be able to reel in her own temper?

"You actually surprised me. You managed to hold back for several years, likely because you knew the ramifications of killing him directly. But in the end, it seemed luck was on my side."

Dyon smiled lightly. "You killed him in Chaos Universe, so whatever information his Clan receives about his death will be jumbled and meaningless. But for my purposes, this is better. The longer these troubles can lurk in the shadow and cast doubt on your Nightmare Palace, the better.

"If the Fulgur Clan found out right away and things were exposed, their only option would be to directly run. After all, they're no match for your Nightmare Palace. But, if they're allowed to stay and fester ..."

Dyon who was monologuing like an evil villain suddenly froze.

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU CRYING?!" He stared at Lilith with an incredulous expression. n..o--v-.e.-l.-B.)1/)n

But she said no other words. Tears running down her icy cheeks, she turned and left.

Dyon stood stunned as he watched Lilith's figure flash into the distance. It was as though she had forgotten she was a mighty Dao Formation Realm expert. Her speed was no faster than a normal mortal girl, dashing away from a broken heart.

Dyon's mouth hung open. By the time she finally disappeared from his sight, his lips had slowly closed, but a deep frown set into his brows.

Why did he feel so... uncomfortable?

Had he felt bad about scheming against Lilith back then? Of course not! That girl tried to take his life because she believed him to be a detriment to their scheme. Why would he hesitate to use her for his own benefit?

What did he care if Lilith was taken advantage of by Sokzac? Even if that scumbag took all her firsts, he wouldn't care. The world was filled with beauties, but he already had his wives. He couldn't take every gorgeous woman as his own, right? How ridiculous.

Plus, Sokzac was already her fiancé. One day, she would be his anyway. For a woman who tried to murder him, why would he care if her precious things were snatched a few years earlier than they otherwise might be?

The matters surrounding the Devil Quadrants were too important to Dyon.

Now, Higher Existence Ravana was faced with problems from all sides. There was the Mathilde Clan that was likely already distancing themselves from him, and now there was also the Fulgur Clan lurking in the shadows.

On one hand. Eldaernth didn't have any good enough reason to destroy the Fulgur Clan. Even if he could prove what Sokzac did to his daughter, so what? Sokzac was a mere member of the younger generation, he could hardly represent his whole Clan.

Plus, it was very obvious to everyone that Lilith was still a virgin. At high enough levels, seeing this only took a single glance. Who would believe that Sokzac had used suggestion tactics on his own fiancée, yet actually left her completely untouched?

They couldn't possibly know that despite his suggestion techniques, Lilith also felt an innate revulsion toward Sokzac and didn't even let him touch her hand. Because Lilith was always more powerful than him, even after he broke into the celestial realm, even if he wanted to force the issue... he simply couldn't!

Unfortunately, all of these tiny details would be washed away. This left Higher Existence Ravana with his hands tied. He already had one of his four pillar subordinates in the Mathilde Clan no longer truly willing to follow him, if he then killed off another one of these four pillars without sufficient reason, what would happen? Wouldn't the whole of the Devil Quadrants collapse?

It was true that in the face of absolute power, all of these things were meaningless. But there was the matter of Faith to take into account! If Higher Existence Ravana really did these things... The Faith of the Devil Quadrants would plummet!

And the best part about this scheme? Even if Eldaernth knew about it, there was nothing he could do. In fact, due to the existence of the Devil Vein, he even had to compromise and ally with Dyon!

This was the power behind Dyon's calculations. When two intelligent people were fighting a war of the minds against one another, the only way for one to win was to force the other side to willingly step into a trap!

With one move, just a single choice made several decades ago, Dyon had crippled a mighty outer quadrant. For his Mortal Alliance, this was a great victory that came at the cost of no lives. In the future, when they inevitably had to turn their swords away from the Failed Clans toward each other, Dyon would now have a massive advantage.

So why was he frowning?!

No matter what, Lilith was a grown woman of almost fifty years old... Crying because she fell for someone's scheme... Wasn't that a little too exaggerated?

Where was her pride? Dammit!
