Chapter 1550 - Peng (2) (2/2)
Dyon shook his head, watching what amounted to himself sleeping. He couldn't help but admit Little Rain did look adorable right now. Other than the ball of red light that rested within his stomach, he looked no different that a normal child. He even became less illusory and more corporeal.
”What happened?” Dyon couldn't help but ask the hamster twins in confusion.
”It seems that Little Rain has a rare characteristic among Sprites. He's able to devour those of his species to gain new attributes. Once he wakes up, he'll be the first dual attribute sprite in quite a long time.” Little Yin said in surprise.
”This won't affect him, will it?” Dyon felt slightly uncomfortable despite the fact this should have been great news. What other Empire could boast having the support of a dual attribute sprite? Well, for all Dyon knew, many of them could, but at the very least, this was a good and rare thing.
However, maybe it was Dyon's mortal realm thoughts speaking through the loudest, but he found the idea of devouring those of your own race for the sake of gaining strength a little too… evil.
In one arm, he held the little boy to his c.h.e.s.t, and in the other, he held Little Rain's broad sword turned surfboard. It was likely because this small boy shared his face, but he didn't want Little Rain to go down a demented path even if it benefited him.
”There's nothing to worry about.” Little Yang said in a rare moment of sympathy. ”Beasts eat other beasts for the sake of gaining strength, but that doesn't necessarily mean they've gone down an evil path. Just consider it to be a difference in culture. Since Little Rain has decided to take your face, he's already chosen to model himself after you. He'll take your values as his own for the most part, these are just his basic instincts.”
Dyon released a deep breath. After allowing Little Rain to rest within his inner world, he turned a serious gaze toward the 13-key-hole door, unable to decide whether he should enter or wait for the mystical world to eject them.
Soon, he turned resolute. What was the point of all of this if he didn't press forward?
”You need to be careful, Dyon.” Little Yin said, slightly worried. ”There can only be one reason this Lord Creator spent so many years scheming in this small world.”
”You know something?” Dyon guessed.
”I wasn't sure before, but now I am. The sovereign flame has only occurred naturally a single time in the history of all that has existed. No matter what, there has always been only a single sovereign flame core. Although there are numerous so-called 'Sovereign Sparks' that are sold at astronomical prices, there is only one sovereign core, a core that has disappeared for trillions of years.
”In all likelihood, this Lord Creator has invested trillions of years into forming a new core after the original was shattered… It's impossible that such an individual wouldn't have fail safes.”
