Chapter 1691 Puppet Strings

"This is it?"

Dyon sat in a research building cornered by Researcher Ton. It had been two years since the researchers had become part of the Mortal Alliance and equally as much time since Dyon had won over their hearts.

After traveling around Planet Soul unimpeded for a few days, the researchers easily realized that this was the opportunity of a lifetime and none of them rejected Dyon's offer.

In truth, Dyon probably had the Sapientia to thank for this. After being locked up for an unG.o.dly amount of years, the researchers were likely looking for any way out they could find that didn't impugn upon their values. This allowed Dyon to be their perfect opportunity.

"Yes." Researcher Ton smiled excitedly. "These maps should be 99.99% accurate to the true state of these universes."

An orb of light trembled slightly to reveal an expanse of s.p.a.ce. It was a beautiful projection that filled one's heart with a sense of adventure and awe.

Ton's fingers reached outward with pinched fingers. A moment later, he flicked his fingers outward, zooming in and magnifying the image.

"These are the locations that most likely contain populations of people. We made these decisions based on the time these planets have been habitable and also the resources available to them. Since these are Emperor G.o.d Clans, they will definitely organize themselves based on these factors."

Researcher Ton was among the researchers most thankful to Dyon. Due to a few offhanded words, the roadblock he had faced for countless thousands of years had been smashed apart, causing his lifelong dream to be perfected in just a few short months.

In the end, the only way Researcher Ton could express his thankfulness was by working hard to meet Dyon's expectations. So, when Dyon approached him, wanting to begin the plan for their first attack, he jumped at the idea, excited beyond belief to finally be of some use.

Researcher Ton's initial research was related to the big bang and the creation of universes. As long as he had a sample of the universe's energy, he could predict everything about it using what he called his Big Bang Formula. Of course, this wasn't the initial name of the formula that was once named under his own surname, but Ton changed it after receiving Dyon's help.

"There is good news as well. Aside from Chaos Universe and young master's home universe, the remaining 98 universes you've asked me to map out haven't experienced any ma.s.sive cataclysmic events, so there should be no issue with the calculations."

Dyon smiled, quite happy with the results. With Researcher Ton's maps, scouting their enemies would be far easier.

Just a few days ago, Dyon sent out Little Yang and Yin to collect 100 samples of energy from the Celestial Deer Quadrant. They returned not too long ago and the results were better than Dyon could have ever hoped for.

One of the greatest barriers to quick and efficient conquests was the lack of information and Dyon had just knocked much of that barrier down.

"Thank you Researcher Ton. With this contribution It's most definitely enough to have your name etched on the Arc of Humanity."

Researcher Ton's eyes swelled with emotion. He rarely had any interaction with this young man before him, but he had more gratefulness toward him than anyone he had ever met in his life.

"Young master, I don't think you understand what your help has meant to me. My life's work was completed under your guidance. Even if my name is forgotten, I'll be satisfied."

Dyon smiled. "That much isn't something you ever have to worry about. Our Mortal Alliance will never forget our own. You'll be here the day your research paves the way for us to become the Mortal Empire. Feel free to come to me if you find another pa.s.sion. For as long as I rule, you won't ever have to worry about something as petty as funding again."

Researcher Ton's eyes shone as he watched Dyon leave, a seed of endless gratefulness sprouting even fiercer.

Dyon had made his decision long ago. The 99 universes had too many question marks attached to them, namely the silent backing of the Sapientia. Though the Sapientia had seemingly forgotten about this connection, Dyon wouldn't take such a foolish risk.

The moment the Jafari Clan Treasure completed its task and added a layer of defense to Soul Universe, Dyon would launch his attack on the Five Clan Beast Alliance.

Originally, Dyon wanted to attack the Uidah first, taking advantage of the seeds he had been planting for several decades already. But, the appearance Monet and her Beast Whisperer ability changed everything.

If Dyon's intel was accurate, the Five Clan Beast Alliance believed that one of their absolute geniuses was killed by a Pakal. In addition, the Ragnor and Uidah Clan found it questionable that the Pakals were the only ones to not send a genius after the attack of the Dukes and d.u.c.h.esses of the 74th Quadrant from all those centuries ago.

Everyone was currently pointing a wary eye toward the Pakals who somehow so suddenly had geniuses so strong.

The issue was that not only did the Pakals have geniuses far above their previous caliber, so did the Uidah thanks to Dyon's interference and silent support of the Uidah Sons and Daughters.

In the end, the Five Clan Beast Alliance and the Ragnors have suddenly turned their weapons toward the Uidah and Pakals, believing that they were harboring the long 'lost' Epistemic Tower.

This powder keg had already been brewing for over a decade. In fact, it had just reached a boiling point because Dyon had sent Hela, who had seemingly not appeared for a long time, back to her home to confirm to the Ragnors that the Uidah and Pakals did indeed have the Epistemic Tower under their control.

All out war had erupted under Dyon's puppet strings.

...

The Mortal Alliance was in a state of movement. Everyone was aware that their first war would start in as little as 8 months. It filled them with a sense of trepidation and excitement.

Dyon, himself, had a lot to do as well.
