Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

Cullen shot forward, drawing his twin moon sabers and cutting a path forward. Amory followed close behind, roaring into the skies and causing his already exposed torso to erupt with red dragon scales.

Dyon's expression didn't change. He already knew that the Clyanne Giant clan had thin dragon blood in their veins. It was no surprise that Amory could invoke some of it to boost his power.

His eyes quickly calculated the happening as his enemies reached closer. It seemed that Gin was taking a back seat along with Aki, likely waiting for an opportune time to implement his time will to the utmost effectiveness.

It was important to keep an eye on them, but he could set them aside for now. As for the rest of the geniuses, Chanzui had yet to make a move, Cullen, Amory and about a dozen or so subordinate Kings were charging forward, and Diana was covering for them with her arrows.

Dyon's Perception swept through, immediately gauging who had intent to attack and who didn't, before unceremoniously ignoring those only here to spectate.

A template of the battlefield appeared in his mind, calculating at inhuman speeds as his silver plaques continued to levitate in the air.

'I have a limited number of these plaques. Only about ten thousand silver plaques and only ten hidden red plaques. Considering the distribution of the plaques, they won't last for longer than half an hour at the most, I need to finish this within that time frame. First… Diana.'

Dyon knew that if he didn't deal with Diana, he wouldn't be able to pick off the Kings, and in a battle of attrition, he would definitely lose.

Cullen reached Dyon's position, swinging his moon saber at his head. "[Half Moon Slash]!"

Dyon's hand flicked outward, bringing ten silver plaques to smash into his hand.

Ten blinding defensive arrays appeared between Dyon and Cullen.

BOOM!

The blade collided with the first, tearing through it as easily as paper. There was no way a defensive array would be able to stop a full force strike from an Emperor. But, Dyon didn't need to stop him, he only needed to slow him down.

Dyon lightly leaped backward, narrowly dodging the swing of the saber even as his fingers flicked to send a spear toward Cullen.

Unfortunately, Diana was ready. An arrow had already appeared between Cullen and Dyon's attack, thwarting it completely.

In that moment, Dyon faced attacks from all sides. Cullen had already begun swinging his second blade, Amory had reached Dyon's range and had sent a roaring fist coated in deadly intent toward him, all while a dozen or so others had cut off Dyon's escape routes.

Diana relaxed into a sneer. Facing so many attacks at once, even those three Gods would have to take it seriously, let alone this masked fool.

But, that was when something they hadn't expected to happen, happened…. Dyon's palm waved, bringing yet another plaque toward himself, then… disappeared.

The eyes of the geniuses widened with shock. Didn't that Aki fellow say that he had locked down the space? What the hell was going on? Where'd he go?

Unfortunately for them, this wasn't the worst part of their plight. Originally, they had been attacking Dyon while surrounding him. Now that Dyon had disappeared, those attacks were going to land on their own allies!

Cullen's blade was screaming toward Amory's fist. The numerous other geniuses had all sent their own attacks as well, but as it stood now, all they would end up doing is hurting each other.

Coughs of blood rang throughout as they each forcibly stopped circulating their techniques. It was especially terrible for Cullen and Amory who had both used some of their strongest techniques because only they knew how truly scary this masked man was after seeing him clash with Anak.

The geniuses turned to Aki in anger. They had attacked with such vigor because he had guaranteed that he had locked down the space. Since he was a Void will user, how could they not believe him?

"I demand an explanation!" Cullen turned to Aki, his handsome features completely twisted with anger.

Aki was frozen, he didn't know what was happening either. He was absolutely certain that he had locked down the space. In fact, he did so much better than any space will user could have. After all, Void will was a Supreme Law! Even though Aki hadn't broken into the intent level just yet, because of his will's ranking, it was just as effective as any intent level space will. None of this made any sense!

Pu!

At that moment, dozens of spears suddenly shot out toward injured Kings. The most shocking part was that these spears didn't show any sign of their approach until it was almost too late. It was only then that everyone understood: concealment arrays!

The Kings, despite being caught off guard, were still ready. After all, they too had undergone deadly trials and had their own levels of Perception, despite being far below that of Dyon.

Still, although none of them died, severe injury was impossible to avoid. The only two who came out completely unscathed were Cullen and Amory who were simply too powerful for such a weak surprise attack to work on them. However, Dyon had already prepared for this reality. His goal the entire time were the Kings.

Dyon appeared before everyone once again, his hands clasped behind his back, his feet not having moved a single inch in any direction. It was clear to everyone that Dyon hadn't moved at all, he had only made it seem like he teleported by instead using a concealment array, and since none of them were soul cultivators, they couldn't tell the difference!

A mixture of embarrassment and anger tore through the geniuses. At the same time, those spectating from the side gained a new level of respect for this masked man. What a bold plan! Even if they could think of it, would they have the confidence in executing it? Would they dare to take the risk? Definitely not! Not when facing so many top tier geniuses, they would all be focused on running!

Aki didn't know how to feel. On one hand, he was feeling gratified that this wasn't his fault. But, on the other hand, over a dozen of their helpers were now heavily injured and would definitely not continue to participate. It was far too dangerous to continue fighting a crafty opponent like Dyon while also dealing with the injury to their meridians and bodies. It was simply suicide.

The geniuses who were blasted into the distance immediately took out their own healing pills, looking at Dyon with wary expressions. They had only attacked because their Emperors were at their front. Yet, now it seemed that this meant next to nothing.

Diana, Amory and Cullen could only look on with ugly expressions as their fellow clan members wallowed in injury. To call them subordinates was inappropriate. It was more apt to call them their brothers and sisters. And for Cullen? The women were his lovers. How could they not dislike what they were seeing?

However, Dyon had no intention of stopping. He was thoroughly pissed off and he had very clearly said that anyone who dared to interfere would die.

His fingers unclasped from his back, flicking with an unmatched elegance as spears began to shoot out.

"No!" The three Emperors roared, surging toward Dyon.

The Kings dodged and sent out their best attacks, being forced back again and again. Even as Dyon continued to deal with the three-pronged assault of Cullen, Amory and Diana.

By this point, Diana had no choice but to stop her focused attacks on Dyon, instead taking time to protect the Kings.

"Leave!" She roared. All they were doing here was holding them back. As long as they entered the fog, it would be impossible for Dyon to continue dealing with them.

Just as they were running, the last words they heard sent a shiver down their spine. "I've remembered your faces."

"Don't take things too far!" Diana couldn't hold her emotions back anymore. If Dyon really survived this and decided to seek out individual justice with their Kings, there was no doubt that their clans would suffer a terrible loss. Kings were much too rare and too valuable, maybe only the top three quadrants could treat Kings like regular weeds.

"I warned you already." Dyon spoke with a voice filled with condescension and disdain. "Any who interfere will die."
