Reaper of the Martial World

Book 9: Chapter 99: Man (1)

Countless eyes of the Mortal Alliance watched as their leader faced an unprecedented threat.

Honestly, when they learned that Dyon would show them the entire process of their first conquering, they felt a welling of pride. Many believed that since Dyon dared to do this, the entire process would be easy and swift.

But… To now, they had already seen face impossible odds. They would be lying to themselves if they said they knew Dyon would succeed in his battle against those 39 dao experts. That experience alone was jarring for so many with some more cynical individuals believing that the broadcast would cut out before they witnessed a pitiful loss of their supposed ruler.

However, the broadcast remained. They watched with bright eyes as Dyon seemed to grow stronger through adversity. Even with his plot to wear down the Ragnor and Pakal armies failing, he still boldly stood at the vanguard, holding the weight of an entire nation’s hope on his shoulders.

And now… He was doing it again.

Even if those watching weren’t absolutely certain, there were few in the martial world who didn’t understand the concept of Faith. Though Faith was effectively cut off in Dyon’s home universe, this wasn’t the case for other places. Hearing the term ‘Planet Grade Empire’, those watching felt a cold breeze sweep through the depths of their souls.

Every large barrier of Faith grade not only provided abilities, but most importantly resulted in a qualitative change in strength should one pass it…

A God Clan could never dream of matching a Royal God Clan, as a Royal God Clan could never dream of matching a King God Clan. However, even then, within those lower limits, the differences weren’t as exaggerated as within the higher tiers…

Conquering one planet made you a Royal God Clan. Conquering one universe made you a King God Clan. Conquering 25 universes made you an Emperor God Clan. Conquering one quadrant made you a Comet Grade Empire. Conquering 25 quadrants made you a Moon Grade Empire. And conquering a 100 quadrants made you a Planet Grade Empire!

Between Dyon’s current status and that of Oshire’s, there were a total of four large barriers, each thicker and more grandiose than the last!

Under the protection of a Planet Grade Empire, even an infant of the royal line wouldn’t have to fear much at all. The difference between Dyon and Oshire couldn’t be explained in simple divisions and multiplications… It could only be described as insurmountable… These matters were only made worse when one realized the Sapientia Empire was a Planet Grade Empire three times over because they controlled over 300 universes! historical

Those who understood these truths, then turned to see Dyon’s shivering body, finally felt that the dreamlike state they had been in for the past year was coming crumbling down. A single man accomplished so much in so little time… It was almost unfair… No… It really was unjust…

“Can I go play with daddy now?”

Little Alauna sat adorably at a kneeling table, her cute lavender dress matted with blue and red paint.

She liked to paint every day, but she refused to use a brush. It was a rare sight for her chubby little fingers to be completely clean. Even when she diligently washed her hands and arms, she’d always forget small specks here and there that Dyon would tease her for.

At the moment, she was being watched by Delia who despite her strength had taken on the role of babysitter. All around, Mia, Bella, Aiden and Junior were doing their own work, giggling and laughing amongst each other.

Truthfully, Delia wanted to fight as well. But, thinking of her husband’s feelings, she chose not to. She knew how Eli felt about being so physically weak despite the fact he could arguably be the greatest contributor to the Mortal Alliance.

In recent times, Delia had always had a smile on beautiful heart-shaped face, her olive skin was constantly glowing. But, today, she had a rare somber expression…

Hearing Alauna’s question, her heart tightened. Though everyone else could watch the war, how could children be allowed to see such blood and gore?

Delia patted her little head. “Not for now, Little Alauna. Daddy’s busy.”

Alauna pouted. “But daddy said he would finish really fast today! He promised to take me to a new place I’ve never seen before!”

Overall, Alauna could be described as a docile little girl who was quite obedient. But, she turned quite spoiled when it came to matters relating to her father, after all, she was still a toddler of two to three years old. This was why Dyon made sure the teleportation array in his inner world was always connected to Soul Universe so his little girl could come see him whenever she wanted.

Delia sighed. “Things have changed, your daddy will be back as soon as he can, he promises.”

Hearing this, Alauna stopped pouted, her large hazel-green eyes slightly watering.

“Is daddy in danger?”

Delia was taken aback. Though the war wasn’t exactly a secret and Dyon had even taken Alauna to the initial teleportation, the details were kept hidden from her. The little girl shouldn’t have any idea about the large-scale war being fought.

Seeing Delia’s expression, Alauna fought to hold back her tears, sniffing in through her little nose as hard as she could.

“It’s okay… I’ll wait for daddy. He’ll definitely win!”

For a moment, the little girl’s conviction was no less than that of her father.
