Chapter 1185 - Gave Up (2) (1/2)

The first thing Dyon did was give key wielding responsibilities to Donari.

Originally, he didn't plan to do this. He actually wanted to give the key to his little brother, Zaire, so that he too could become a God level figure. After all, he didn't want his little brother to live in his shadow. Zaire had the talent to stand shoulder to shoulder with Dyon, he was absolutely certain of it.

However, Dyon was forced to change his plans. The abilities of the key wielder was something Dyon needed immediately.

From his interrogation of Elder Nova, Dyon learned that the Epistemic Tower Gate of the Soul Rend Quadrant was actually a Dao Gate and the only reason that campaigns weren't prevalent in this universe was because the Energy Path didn't bother to attack.

On the outside looking in, it seemed as though the other universes were too weak to think about campaigning, when the truth was that they were too powerful to even waste their time. After all, Cathedral Universe was meant to be bait.

If this continued, it was obvious the kind of trouble this would bring. So, to save future troubles, Dyon immediately had Donari shift all six connecting gates, one to each planet, into essence gates. This way, if they dared to attack, Dyon could single-handedly wipe out all of their forces alone.

Dyon's thinking was simple. Without the gates, travelling between universes would take years, not to mention a ridiculous amount of resources.

The moment those of the Energy Path realized they were sending their younger generation to their deaths, they would stop using the gates.

For obvious reasons, they wouldn't be able to use the tower either. Not only did they not have access to the tower with the gate being a death zone.

There was also a second layer of protection Donari provided. Unlike Virvor, Donari had never taken a trial. This meant that the fog barrier would protect their 98th quadrant for as long as he didn't.

It was very important to Dyon that the fog barrier remained, even more so than before. The realization the Elder Nova was a spy put his guard on high-alert. He couldn't be complacent with his fail-safes.

This feeling became even more fierce when Dyon learned from Elder Nova that there should have been a dao formation expert stationed in his home universe as well.

After hearing this, Dyon couldn't help but burst into a cold sweat. This was because he could still remember when he arrogantly proclaimed his identity after stopping Madeleine's wedding. If that dao formation expert had decided to act, Dyon's life would have ended, just like that.

As for what happened to that expert? Dyon wasn't entirely sure, but he had some ideas… Many of which revolved around Madeleine's parents and the fact they too were dao formation experts… If he was correct, it seemed that he'd have to thank them when next he saw them.

In all likelihood, that dao formation expert was long dead. Luckily, it was impossible to communicate easily between quadrants, so even Elder Nova had no idea that that expert had been compromised.
