Chapter 1494 Too Good

Now consider that Dyon didn't comprehend any form of water will and could only rely on his body Then consider the fact there might be creatures that could withstand that pressure with ease hidden below.

Dyon realized that this was definitely an expedition he had to take seriously. Earth's energy density was incredibly low, but Dyon suspected there was a good chance that the creatures hidden beneath the ocean depths didn't cultivate qi at all, but rather refined their bodies. For them to survive this way, one could imagine how powerful they were.

However, Dyon needed to go. For one, because he had been neglecting his own training recently, and secondly because he needed an army of beasts capable of truly defending Dark Ocean. There was still more than half a year before the Jafari Clan treasure completed its task, so Dyon wanted to use this opportunity to hide the existence of the Rainbow Peng.

Dyon smiled. "Come with me."

"Okay." Ri smiled sweetly, not asking anymore questions. After finally recovering, she was eager to do something productive as well.

It wasn't long before Dyon and Ri were back on Earth. Soon, the stood on the coastline, looking off toward the raging waters.

Earth's Oceans had always been a complete mystery. Even when the Elvin Island sank, it hadn't done so by far thanks to the foundation the island's bed left. So, back then, the Elvin Clans hadn't needed to go very far to retrieve their holy lands.

"Someone is asking questions?" Ri asked with a light frown.

"Most likely. Clara and I have known since the beginning that the Sapientia would abuse the towers to monitor the universes that used them. It was just unfortunate that Jasmine cultivated evil qi. That was definitely the energy fluctuation that caught the Sapientia's attention. However, they wouldn't dare to use this information for their benefit, or else their secret would be exposed."

"So what's your plan?"

"We'll toy with the Sapientia." Dyon grinned. "We know their weaknesses, but they don't know ours. Judging by the information they have, they've likely concluded that remnants of the Elvin Kingdom are hidden within the Dark Ocean. And, they've likely guessed that we're using the Jafari Clan treasure.

"As such, there are two approaches they could take. In fact, they might take both. One, they'll instigate the Mist Clan. And secondly, they'll instigate BPA."

"Instigate BPA?" Ri's eyes narrowed.

"Mm. It's common history that the Rainbow Kun Peng were the beast companions of Elves. Those Peng are transcendent grade creatures and thus have high status to those of the beast protection a.s.sociation. It'll be easy for the Sapientia to provoke them into action."

"That's a bit worrisome." Ri said solemnly.

"It all depends on the kind of person Aritzia is." Dyon said lightly. "If she's conceited and wants to hold the world in her palm, she'll only instigate the Mist Clan. However, if she's someone capable of reining in herself and understanding her own limits without being blinded by arrogance, she'll involve BPA.

"If she's the former, we don't have to do anything. She's severely underestimating Palace Master Jasmine and my support. There are only a few months left, that women will be able to hold them back alone and earn her pay.

"However" Dyon smiled lightly. " Jaws is too good at provoking women."

Dyon laughed, sweeping Ri into his arms and kissing her. He was too happy right now.

Aritzia had already fallen into a cycle of wanting to have a match with Dyon. Jaws had provoked her compet.i.tive spirit. Dyon was willing to stake his life that Aritzia would never involve BPA because then the glory would no longer be her own.

If she stuck to this path, her only result would be a loss.

"What's all the commotion about?"

"Didn't you hear? Empress Aritzia is challenging the masked wife stealer in a game of Dimensions!"

Everyone knew about the oddity of Ancient Games. Other than an arbitrary name they were given, it was impossible to discuss the games further. This was because one was meant to figure out the rules on their own!

Back when Dyon entered the Elvin Tomb and tried to describe the game that blocked their way to Ri, Ri hadn't heard a single word he spoke. Even though everyone was aware of the existence of Ancient Games, what made them so intriguing was precisely the fact that no one knew what the exact rules were.

Still, Dyon remembered this particular game, one that he now knew others referred to as Dimensions, quite well. He likened it to a game of blocks, a mobile phone game from his mortal realm where the goal of the game was to push a special block out from a blockade of several other blocks.

There were, however, major differences between this game of Dimensions and blocks. For one, in Dimensions, the so-called penultimate block isn't a block at all, but rather the human playing. Secondly, the 'blocks' stopping you from achieving your goal are far more complex.

Not only did all of the blocks reset the moment you made a wrong move, sending your body back to the beginning, but, the game of Dimensions messed with its player's senses, making it difficult to even know which direction one had to go in.

At this moment, Dyon and Aritzia stood in a large game center within Central City that reminded Dyon of the Chaos Arena back on Earth.

The game center was a ma.s.sive circular tower with spectators arranged in several layer rings around its inner circ.u.mference. Usually, there would be multiple platforms for multiple games going on near the center, however, considering the fame of these two, there was currently only one!

Aritzia and Dyon stood across from each other, about 50 meters apart. On one side, Aritzia had a confident and elegant smile. Since she entered the tower, her record in Dimensions was 37-0. There simply wasn't a point to playing anymore because there was no one worthy of being her opponent. In fact, all her life, the only person she had ever lost to was her father.

As for Dyon, his record read as 0-0. Clearly, he had never played before. But, while this made others believe Aritzia would win, it wasn't to the point of disdain for Dyon. Who here couldn't remember the scene of the masked wife stealer defeating half a dozen Emperors and dozens of Kings all while suppressed by the Legacy Transfer of the Valley of Geniuses? One would have to be a fool to look down on him.

"I hope you'll remember our bet, Lady Aritzia." Dyon said lightly, amus.e.m.e.nt clear in his voice.

"I hope you'll remember it as well." Aritzia replied casually.

"BEGIN!"

A blocky, stiff sounding voice boomed over the game center. In that moment, Aritzia didn't hesitate to shoot forward, garnering the cheers of the crowd.

Dyon smiled. Before this began, he swore off his divine sense, while Aritzia took off her gla.s.ses. In reality, if Dyon wanted to use his divine sense, even with it only being able to display a fifth of its prowess, Aritzia and the game monitors weren't qualified to see that he was cheating. However, did he need to do so?
