Chapter 1790 Missed You

Amphorae, who had remained cold for so long, finally released the tension in her body. Unwittingly, tears she had been holding back fell, but they were quickly evaporated by her qi.

Suddenly thinking of someone, Dyon's qi whipped around his body, shattering the dried blood around him. Right afterward, he used arrays to conceal the cuts and bruises on his body and replaced his pants with a clean pair.

Knowing his reactions, Delia was already ready.

"Daddy!"

Little Alauna appeared in Dyon's inner world. She spun around, looking for Dyon every which way, calling out to him. The excited look on her face both broke Dyon's heart and filled it with warmth. He had really left her for too long.

It was only a second later Dyon brought her out from his inner world.

Gasping, Little Alauna looked around at the billions of people surrounding her father, even seeing her three mommas, but it wasn't until she saw Dyon that her eyes lit up like adorable lanterns.

Realizing she was in Dyon's arms, she wiggled her little body to wrap her short arms around his neck.

She wanted to call out her father's name again, but she found her voice didn't work anymore. The little girl began to cry uncontrollably, her little body trembling under her father's embrace.

She tried to stifle her tears, but no matter how hard she tried, it didn't work.

Madeleine, Ri and Clara found their eyes pooling. They could only imagine how this little girl felt during the past months.

"It's okay Little Precious" Dyon's eyes reddened. " What'd Dad say? Didn't I say you can still be strong and cry?"

Dyon's words were like the final drop of water needed to shatter the dam.

The whole world fell silent once more as a little girl cried in her father's arms.

"D-Daddy I missed you so, so, so, so, so much"

Dyon held on tightly, never wanting to let go.

...

"Look at you." Dyon smiled brightly, holding up his puffy eyed daughter to the skies. "You've gotten so big! You're growing up too fast, dad can barely hold you up."

Little Alauna wiped her cheeks, giggling.

Knowing that his daughter's third birthday was quickly approaching, Dyon sighed. He already felt that she was getting too old too quickly. Was this how all parents felt?

"Want to follow me around today?"

Her head bobbed up and down eagerly, causing a wave of warm laughter to fill Planet Ragnor before it quickly became somber once more. After all these months had pa.s.sed, it seemed the citizens of Odin City had forgotten that this young man had come to conquer their lands. They almost felt that he was one of their own now, so they were filled with inexplicable feelings.

Little Alauna, though, completely oblivious to their complicated feelings, happily staying in her father's arms.

"Momma!" Alauna called out seeing Amphorae and Luna descending from the skies to stand by Dyon's side. Though she hadn't seen Dyon in almost half a year, Luna visited her quite often. After all, even if she was worried about Dyon's battle, she couldn't possibly leave Little Alauna parentless for so long. This was why her daughter's yearning for Dyon was so much stronger.

Seeing five beauties surrounding Dyon, the warriors of the Mortal Alliance could only smile bitterly. Even Emperor Pakal and Lord Odin who could have the pick of any woman of their empires they wanted paled in comparison. Even if they could pick any woman, just where would they find even one of such caliber, let alone five.

Dyon was still before the gates of Odin City and his prisoners were still kneeling to the ground, the only difference was that the magnificent lightning formation was gone and the hostility of the guards that stood on the tall walls had deflated.

Before Dyon could say another word, the city gates slowly opened, resulting in a deep sigh from Lord Odin.

Dyon hadn't forgotten about all of the horrible things the Ragnor Clan had done. Even if he had already subdued him with his power, his conscious wouldn't allow them off the hook so easily.

Odin City easily fell under Dyon's control.

The upper echelon of the Ragnor Clan was soon collected, and Little Lyla was brought forward.

Dyon began to systematically question the n.o.bles of the Ragnor Clan about the deeds they had committed in their lives, leaving not a single stone unturned.

He didn't hide these proceedings from the eyes the common people either. Even if it meant losing much of the fighting strength the Ragnor Clan had to offer, Dyon refused to have vile weeds within his Kingdom. With more than 100 years still left to the descent of the Ancient Battlefield, Dyon believed that with his resources and the guidance of Chancellor Lind's education system, the Mortal Alliance would be overflowing with talents soon enough.

In fact, it might be better this way. Those who had already entered the celestial realm practically had their futures already set in stone, no amount of resources and guidance could change much. It was better if Dyon focused on the younger generation, anyway.

If they didn't have to enter the tower, most geniuses would be able to enter the celestial realm within 30 years, with only the very best being able to enter within 20. Those who succeeded within 30 years would need at least a hundred years more to become dao experts, but those who succeeded within 20 likely would only need about half that time.

Of course, these were under normal circ.u.mstances. These calculations were done with the top 20 quadrants in mind. However, did these top quadrants have a Star Lord like Dyon at their back?

In the outer powers, absolute geniuses reached the celestial realm while they were still teenagers, between 13 and 16 years old. Fringe geniuses succeeded within 20 years.

Lilith herself was a prime example of this. If it hadn't been because she was waiting to buy a Sovereign Spark, she would have entered the celestial realm long before she met Dyon. And, one had to remember that she was only 16 years old when she met Dyon for the first time.
