Chapter 2090 Feel It?
Alauna grabbed the right claw, only for Dyon to grab the left. Their simultaneous pull caused the hard shell to split in half in perfect coordination, leaving glistening, buttery meat behind.
The two all but submarined in, devouring the delicacy before them as though they couldn't feel the surging qi it caused to course through their bodies.
"VICTORY!" Dyon laughed madly, standing on the marbled table with a triumphant grin.
"No way! I definitely won!" Little Alauna's lovely voice was in stark contrast to the piles of food she had just devoured.
Dyon continued to laugh as though he couldn't hear her words, happily belching and patting his stomach.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
"You've really outdone yourself this time, Saru." Dyon said with a smile.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, Auntie Saru. Tell me, who won?"
Alauna kicked her father away, sending him flying. She rushed forward, grasping Saru's hands with keen anticipation. However, she was bitterly disappointed when she saw the same face she had already seen thousands of times before.
"Sorry..." Saru said with an appeasing tone.
Dyon flipped through the air, landing on the beautifully tiled palace grounds with his bare feet, his laughter ringing outward.
"What does that make the record? 11 365 to 0?"
Dyon asked as though he didn't know he was exactly right.
"Maybe next time."
"Momma Madeleine, he's purposely bullying me!" Alauna said, completely aggrieved.
Their battles had been 'close' ever since Dyon hit his first 100 wins. She thought she was getting closer, but after some time, she was too smart to realize that Dyon was toying with her. Like a carrot dangling from a stick, he would keep the battle close until the very end, only for him to pull away every time.
"Do you feel it?"
Alauna's face constricted, he jaw tightening and her brows furrowing.
Dyon had brought her to the trial grounds and allowed her to experience the world suppression on her own. His question was more so his way of expressing worry than anything else. It may have been easy for him to defeat his daughter in meaningless competitions, but he knew first hand how oppressive this world suppression was.
Still, maybe due to being the offspring of a Heaven's Child, Alauna's reaction was as severe as even Dyon's own. Though her cultivation was also suppressed, it was only to the lower Dao Realm while Dyon's had been suppressed all the way to the lower Celestial Realm.
That said, Alauna was a true Supreme while Dyon had yet to breakthrough and become a Higher Existence for fear of being repelled by the Heavens.
"This really is another world?"
"Yes. This place has a hard block on anyone above the Dao Formation Realm. But, I have some minor control over its suppression so it's enough to let you in."
Alauna's brows raised. "Doesn't that mean that a traitor to a world could easily backstab their people?"
Dyon smiled somewhat bitterly. "It seems you understand even without me telling you directly."
"Should... Should we be worried?"
Alauna knew of the kind of enemy her father had to face hidden within the inner shell of Earth. But, she could have never expected that even before stepping forward to defeat The Entity, another challenge would appear.
"With me here, there's never anything to worry about."
Dyon rubbed his daughter's head. In that moment, all the pain and suppression she felt entirely vanished. She felt endlessly comfortable.
"I didn't bring you here so that you could share this burden. It doesn't matter what enemy lies in wait, you can trust me to handle it. I brought you here only to broaden your horizons."
Alauna's eyes uncontrollably watered for a minute, unable to hold back the sweetness in her heart. But in the end, she managed to nod.
"I want to do something unprecedented, but I don't have enough knowledge to do it. This world may be a first step toward that." Dyon said slowly, removing his hand from his daughter's head.
