Dyon shook his head. He came here for a purpose and he had gotten swept away in a whirlwind of mystery. When the time was right, his master would tell him the truth.

"It's about time to pay that Kitsune Clan a visit. I hope you like fox meat." Dyon laughed as the cauldron hopped in his hand, almost as though to say it was his favorite.

'Hm, after learning so many weapon techniques, it seems my Weapon's Master Will might break into the intent realm soon'

**

"Can you do it?" Dyon asked, looking toward Fox.

It was quite ironic, he was just speaking of eating fox meat when he realized he would need Fox's help.

Fox, of course, wasn't an actual fox. He was a Heaven's Child with the ability to duplicate inanimate objects as long as he was provided with adequate energy or an adequate sacrifice.

Fox frowned as he looked at the mask in Dyon's hand. He innately felt that no amount of energy in the world could replicate this mask.

"No can do, Unblemished Emperor. I can feel a strong force of life within this treasure, it definitely has a powerful soul sleeping within."

Dyon nodded. "I see Just as I thought."

Even now, Dyon had no idea a Lightning Sparrow was slumbering within the Lightning Willow Mask A majestic beast cursed for its beauty with the greatest speed in existence It was so fast that no one could appreciate it even when it appeared.

Dyon had been hoping to duplicate the mask so that Amphorae and Madeleine could wear it. Though he was going to interfere in the matters of the Kitsune-Shruti Quadrant, he didn't want too many people to know just how strong he was now, or else it would affect his plans for the Federation.

As for bringing Amphorae and Madeleine along, he had two reasons. First because they were the only two of his wives capable of displaying the strength of Dao Realm experts, and second because he simply wanted them by his side. If it was up to him, he'd bring Ri and Clara along as well, it was just that they were still too weak.

Dyon had even brought out the Demolition Cube, a Pseudo Weapon of the 33 Heavens he took from the Daiyu Clan long ago but rarely used. He wanted to see if Fox could use it as a sacrifice for the duplication, but it seemed even it wasn't enough.

"It would be a waste, Emperor Unblemished." Fox shook his head. "Even if I use it as a sacrifice, because the task would be too tall, it would at most bring out some Spiritual grade masks.

"Does Emperor Unblemished have to be so careful? With your soul strength, no one would be able to see anything you don't want them to see."

Dyon sighed, finally unable to take it anymore. "Can you stop calling me that?"

"Stop calling you what?" Fox asked innocently, a cunning smile on his face.

Dyon glared at him. "I'm no Emperor, nor is my surname Unblemished."

"Impossible. The Unblemished One is your Empress, so of course you are her Emperor."

"She's not "

Seeing that it was Fox's turn to glare at him, Dyon's headache grew and he just waved his hand, turning to leave.

All the Heaven's Children were like this. Aside from Monet who had taken a liking to him for some reason, the others all but hated him for not taking Luna as his woman. If not for Luna basically forcing them to help improve the Mortal Alliance, they would have long since started ignoring his words completely.

To them, he had put a child in their Empress, so how could he not take responsibility? The only reason they hadn't completely displayed their revulsion toward him was because how well he treated their little princess couldn't be denied.

Dyon wasn't interested in explaining himself to people. It was something he hated to do, almost as much as he hated being tested by others who believed themselves to be above him. So, he never tried to justify himself to them, making them think they were in the right.

Either way, he couldn't be bothered.

"Make sure to thank Saru for me properly. I haven't seen her in so long But we owe her a lot." Ri said weakly.

Of course, her weakness wasn't a product of an injury, but rather because Dyon's intentions of saying goodbye had sprawled out of control, resulting in four beauties being entangled in soft bed sheets and fragrant liquids. The sight could make an endless fire burn in one's loins.

"I will." Dyon said with a light smile. Honestly, he wasn't willing to leave them. If it was just about revenge, he wouldn't be so easily bothered. But, the news from the Mortal Network only seemed to get worse with each passing day. The Shruti Clan's situation wasn't good. If this continued, they would be wiped out.

Since he owed Saru for protecting Ri and keeping his secrets all of this time He would repay her.

The only person in the tower quadrants who knew Dyon's true origins was Saru and her Shruti Clan, yet she never breathed a word about it. For this, Dyon was eternally grateful.

Dyon laughed. "That little girl is probably all grown up by now."

"Look at him, already thinking evil thoughts and he hasn't even left yet." Clara grumbled, but she really was too weak to move.

Dyon was speechless, what'd he say?

Madeleine giggled lightly. "Little Sister Saru has definitely become a world-shattering beauty. She also seems to like you very much."

Dyon scoffed. "I am going to help a friend, not pick up a wife."

"Oh yea? Then why'd you give up so easily after Fox said he couldn't duplicate the mask?" Ri teased.

"Aiya, my caution and desire to protect my wives is being seen as schadenfreude. Is this the Fate of a good and loyal husband?" Dyon looked up at the ceiling as though he was lamenting a sad life.

Even Clara couldn't help but laugh at his ridiculous acting.
