Chapter 2232 Butler
However, just like that, the old man's attacks were repulsed. The blinding speeds Little Rain spun around Dyon put hurricane force winds to shame.
Despite the result, the old butler's expression instead grew brighter.
"Good! Again!" Eagerness roared through Dyon's veins.
Dyon smirked. This old man was one of the demoness' 108 butlers. He was known as Butler 97.
He was a battle fanatic who was incredibly fond of young talents. Why else would Dyon come here?
Dyon and the old butler shot toward each other as the former smiled. Step one was complete. He had all but earned himself a place in this underground organization.
Many hours later, Butler 97 led Dyon to a hidden underground space.
Though Dyon wished to meet the demoness as quickly as possible, he also knew that such a thing was completely impossible. The fact that a butler had acted against him at all was already a shocking event for Yin City. After all, the 108 Butlers were respected existences no weaker than the monsters of the other three factions.
Since a butler had been forced to act against Dyon, it was already sufficient to prove that he was indeed someone of outstanding potential and power.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
"Though I'm glad that you wanted to join our faction, you were still a bit too rash. No matter how great your entrance was, it's impossible to expect to rise up immediately."
But what would happen if Dyon was too great? In that case, even if the butler was still appreciative of his talent, it would be impossible for them to grow close. Dyon had to form a give and take relationship.
As expected, when Butler 97 saw how diligently Dyon was listening to him, almost like a bright eyed child seeing the world for the first time, he nodded with satisfaction and a pleasant feeling welled up in his heart.
Dyon smirked inwardly upon witnessing this. The only person he had failed to read perfectly in his life was Aritzia, and he paid a price for that. But he had grown and matured since then, and his ability to read people had of course increased along with it.
This wasn't the end of it. Dyon was incredibly sensitive to the emotions of others while in this form due to Jade's bloodline. And, there was also another important caveat: these weren't true people.
No matter how perfect this Immortal God's technique was, they were ultimately not real people. Real humans had complex characters, they had contradictory thoughts and hypocritical views. However, a created puppet like this was slotted into an archetype, and this archetype followed a perfectly linear path that was easy to see through.
Compared to reading the intentions and likes of a normal person, reading a puppet like this was several times easier.
If Dyon had to sum up the difference with just one sentence, it would be that real people sometimes held thoughts and beliefs they couldn't explain, while these created puppets had a logical construction to everything they saw, thought and felt.
'I understand.' Dyon thought to himself. 'This was the secret you were looking for right. You could make your puppets feel so real and tangible, yet they were still missing something, a critical factor. In the end, your world has too much structure and order to it... and not enough chaos.'
Dyon seemed to have been enlightened by something and his expression changed, hurriedly wrapping his immortal sense around him so that the old butler couldn't sense anything.
Back in the Sacharro Graveyard, the aura of Dyon's main body was growing wildly. If it wasn't for the stealth form of the graveyard, maybe the entire star segment would be alerted by what was going on.
