Chapter 1457 Frozen

Hearing Clara's explanation, Dyon had half a mind to claim all of the gold zones for himself. He had a.s.sumed that all of the lower tier danger zones would be useless to him. But, if what Ava said was true, then many of them would be greatly beneficial to him.

'Which do you think is the most useful?' Dyon asked.

'This' Ava blushed in embarra.s.sment, something that was rare for her. 'I don't know.'

Dyon frowned when he heard these words. 'Why?'

Ava coughed, the blush on her cheeks deepening even further. She didn't know how to face Dyon right now, she didn't even want to bother him with such a thing.

'I've never been to any of them'

After Dyon listened to Ava's explanation, he felt so angry that he began to laugh. The fury bubbled up within him, his aura becoming stifling. His blood boiled and his heart thumped like raging thunder. The darkness in his eyes deepened and a demonic sort of violence rippled into the surroundings.

'What audacity.'

The nine gold danger zones were all located in the same area. Unlike the other danger zones that were located on open land, the gold danger zones were each large paG.o.das separated into tiers that stretched into the skies. Much like the Epistemic Tower within the Gates that seemed to stretch to infinity, so too did the gold danger zones.

As of right now, since the Star Clan and Sprite Clan True G.o.ds had left to the dao floors, their perpetual monopoly over the gold danger zones had loosened. So, the Aurum, Lux and Nativus Clans each controlled two since their True G.o.ds were the most powerful. As for the final three, one was maintained by the Star Clan, the other was controlled by the Daisho Clan of the third ranked Sprite Quadrant, and the last was controlled by the Agios Clan thanks to Damaris' combat prowess.

Damaris hadn't been in the public eye for over two years now. But, before, she had been just as angry that Dyon had the spotlight as the other geniuses had been. So, of course she followed suit and banned the Demon Generals from entering.

'You stay here. By the end of the day, I'll see if anyone dares to continue bullying the Demon Generals.'

Dyon forgot all about his plans to set a path for the future. He shot into the skies and began drawing a brilliant formation.

Those in the city looked up, completely mesmerized by the sight they were witnessing. Minutes ticked by as they remained in this trance. Then, Dyon disappeared.

At the very center of the lower tier, there was a sight few would ever witness in their lifetime. Too few were even qualified to even make there way to the gold danger zones, let alone pay for entry. So, this scene was rare even for those on this floor.

Nine paG.o.das stood to form a circle, stretching so high into the skies that their end couldn't be seen. Even the clouds and the suns in the sky seemed to stand lower than them.

They were brilliantly designed. Some were embroidered in beautiful red and gold, others shone with royal blues and silver, while one stood as a sleek, unending black. One would seem small standing at their feet Even though they looked like normal sized buildings from the distance, once one approached, it soon became obvious that even the smallest of them stretched an entire kilometer in every direction. Just the nine paG.o.das bases alone took up almost a hundred square miles.

At this moment, the elites of the celestial floor gathered at the base of these towers. If you could stand here, you were without a doubt a King. Even a Duke was unqualified to face the majesty of the towers.

Several smaller buildings stood around, creating a beautiful city at the center of the nine paG.o.das known as Low Gold City. It was also colloquially known as The City of Elites.

This was truly a place where the powerful reigned supreme.

It was this place Dyon appeared above.

"Hey, who is that?"

"Doesn't he know flying in any of the Gold Cities is prohibited?"

"I don't know, he's standing too high up for me to see him clearly. What is he trying to prove?"

"You all better control your mouths better. Who here isn't an elite? How many of us are stupid? If he's confident enough to do that, in all likelihood, he could kill you with a single finger. Don't say I didn't warn you."

Even making it to the gold danger zones required crossing dozens of silver danger zones. Even Emperors could die in those places. Of course, there were teleportation formations, but they were reserved for those who had conquered the gold danger zones. No Clan would accept money for the right to use them, it was a strictly controlled advantage.

Knowing how correct this person was, those who were speaking shut their mouths. At this moment though, the Gold City Protectors had begun to move. These protectors kept law and order here. They were all made up of stronger Kings that had already ascended to higher tiers but came here in order to earn a decent salary and benefits. So, no one dared to look down on them.

"You up there!" A squad captain wearing golden armor shouted into the skies. "You have three seconds to get down here, or you'll face the attack of The Protectors!"

andasnovel.com Dyon swept his gaze down. At that moment, the squad captain felt a cold seep into his soul.

"All members of the Aurum, Lux, Nativus, Star and Daisho Clans have exactly three seconds to scram. For the next 30 years, none of you are allowed to enter the gold danger zones. Anyone found disobeying my rules will be sent back to their Clan half-dead. If this rule is violated twice, your Clan will only receive a corpse!"

Dyon's voice boomed over Low Gold City. In that moment, it was as though time itself had frozen over.
