Chapter 2095 - Unbridled (3) (1/2)
The first feeling the three kitsune geniuses felt was shock.
Their territory had been conquered? How? When? How could 100 years be enough to force their downfall?
Of course, to them, at least that amount of time had passed. They had no idea Dyon went to Chaos Universe, so their perception of time was a bit different to the real matter of things.
Afterward, they felt incredibly complex.
Somewhere in their hearts they knew that Dyon couldn't possibly be training them to such an extent for no reason, but even then, they weren't certain. That caused a slight hint of happiness to enter their hearts, there was even a bit of gratefulness.
If psychologists of Dyon's world knew about this, they would most definitely label it as a symptom of Stockholm's Syndrome.
On the other hand, though, they felt bitter. This was their home, after all.
”What… What happened?” Masako mustered up her courage. These were probably the first words she had spoken in decades. Even to Aki and Gin, she hadn't said a word.
Of the three, she arguably suffered the worst trauma. Back then, she had had her throat pierced and torn apart by Dyon. If it wasn't for her bloodline's innate vitality and that Dyon saved her, she would have crossed death's door.
She wasn't like Dyon who experienced death countless times during the Fifth Trial, her mind was far more fragile, so it affected her even now despite her vast power improvement.
”Kaori Void allied with the Beast Protection Association but lost the key battle to me. Your grand elders died, so the pillars of strength that held up your Supreme Kitsune Clans are now gone. With Kaori fleeing and BPA no longer able to help, your universes are being swiftly conquered by the Shruti as we speak.”
Waves of emotion crossed the eyes of the three kitsune. Hearing his father's name, Aki's fists couldn't help but clench. His existence was obviously far more impactful to him than the Grand Elder's were…
This was the world of cultivation, often times, even ten generations could exist at once, but the greatest relationsh.i.p.s would be maintained by more immediate family members. Those who were more powerful tended to distance themselves over time from the younger generation, it saved them the possibility of pain down the line.
Grand Elder Void was Kaori's grandfather, so that obviously made him Aki's great grandfather. Considering how many countless kin Grand Elder Void had, even though Aki was the most outstanding, their relationship wasn't very deep. So even after hearing his great grandfather died, his emotions only fluctuated slightly.
In fact, hearing that his father escaped, he sighed a breath of relief.
”There's always the possibility of summoning your Ancestors I guess, but if that happens I'll be sure to appear. And, even with this said, I don't think there's anyone left in your Clan with the lineage to awaken them.” Dyon finished casually.
”Why are you using us… Why don't you just use Alexandria.” Aki asked plainly.
”My wife is busy. In case you didn't know, she's the Queen of the Elves. And, for reasons you must know, she hates your Supreme Kitsune Clan with a burning passion, not only for what they did to her, but also for what they did to her mother. I'm sure I don't need to explain any further.”
Dyon's cold retort caused Aki to tremble. He didn't dare say or ask any more.
”You three will be figure heads, but the true Matriarch will be my mother-in-law. She has awakened her Celestial Fox bloodline, and I trust her more than you three, so you will be under her command.”
”What?!” The three kitsune geniuses felt that their world had collapsed.
The legend of the Celestial Fox wasn't just a casual mention in Kitsune Lore, it was practically their God, their Guardian Deity. Hearing Dyon mention it so casually made them feel like he didn't understand what his words truly meant.
