Book 9: Chapter 39: Chess Pieces (3)

As Dyon plundered the Faith of the Five Beast Clan, his pieces within the Uidah Clan were moving as well.

With Dyon’s help, Abraham, Dravil, Kaeghan, and the rest of the sons and daughters systematically moved the chess pieces as Dyon saw fit.

With Dyon guidance and resources, provided over several decades, Dravil had established himself as First Celestial Son. Such a title resulted in him taking the former First Saint Son’s title as heir apparent, not to mention his wife, the former First Celestial Daughter.

In a quadrant so weak, the title of celestial held more weight than one could imagine. Dravil alone controlled more power within the Uidah Clan than even his father did despite having yet to enter the Dao Realm.

Of course, this wasn’t because he wrested it away. Instead, King Uidah willingly ceded this control to his son, looking forward to a bright future and being none the wiser about the brewing plot.

There was only a single hiccup to the progress of this plan, and that was the birth of Abraham, a genius that even Dyon’s resources couldn’t overshadow.

Back then, despite being able to break into the Saint Realm, Kaeghan remained at the Essence Gatherer Realm in order to maintain control over the Essence Sons and Daughters. However, it was then Abraham’s meteoric rise occurred, resulting in Kaeghan losing his seat as First Essence Son to Abraham.

Seeing how talented this son of his was, King Uidah began to hesitate. What if Abraham shone brighter than Dravil? King Uidah began to pull the reins in tighter on his elder son as of that moment.

One had to remember that King Uidah had sent his previous heir, Baldric, to find information about the Epistemic Tower. Yet, he easily tossed that son of his away with the appearance of Dravil. Simply put, he wasn’t a kindhearted man. After so many years stalling out at the Peak of King God Clans, he was willing to do anything to breakthrough.

Luckily, that was when the Heavens smiled down upon Dyon. Due to the betrayal of the Aumen Clan, the Uidah entered Dyon’s home universe without any resistance, leading Abraham right to his front door.

Back then, Dyon was an essence gatherer. Abraham, who was also an essence gatherer, had never lost to anyone of his power level in the whole of his life. So, blindly self-confident, he challenged Dyon, only to lose miserably and become yet another one of Dyon’s puppets.

Now, Dyon didn’t just have 1 Celestial Son under his control. With the exception of Nora, a woman who shared a name with Madeleine’s biological mother, was the former First Celestial Daughter, and Dravil’s current fiancée, he controlled all remaining 4 Celestial Sons and Daughters!

Abraham had broken through and become Third Celestial Son immediately. Dravil was obviously First Celestial Son. Silvyr, a woman loving daughter Ri had battled during her and Dyon’s first campaign, had become Fourth Celestial Daughter. And finally, Mekhi Uidah took the mantle of Fifth Celestial Son.

Believing he had so many talented sons and daughters, King Uidah practically died of happiness. But, it soon became a headache.

He had settled on Dravil before, but now there was Abraham. Plus, he couldn’t just keep passing Nora around like she was worthless, right?

After pulling the reins on Dravil, he decided to let the siblings figure it out themselves.

Under Dyon’s machinations, the Uidah upper echelon split in four directions, with Abraham and Dravil having the biggest pull.

Together, they waged war against Ragnors and the Five Beast Clans, but they also waged war against each other. The skirmishes between the two Princes became the entertainment of the Uidah Clan. Despite the bloodshed, for a Clan who had slaughtered their former twin Clan, Alidor’s family, in cold blood all for the sake of power, would they really care about such things?

All that was left was for Dyon to effectively use these chess pieces of his.

Should he just take down Uidah territory in one sweep? Should he use the key to use the Uidah to take attack? Maybe pincer the Five Beast Clans or launch a surprise attack on the Ragnors?

Dyon threw the latter thought away immediately. The Ragnors were on a completely different level than the Beast Clans, such simple tactics wouldn’t work so easily on them. However, this didn’t mean Dyon wouldn’t make a move.

In one sweep, Abraham and Dravil led their armies on a conquering spree, taking control of all Gates bordering Ragnor territory with them being completely unaware. Then, they moved on to Dyon’s true ask of them.

By Dyon’s scouting, the Ragnors controlled 29 universes, the Pakals controlled 26, the Uidah controlled 24, and the Five Beast Clans once controlled 18. If one added Chaos Universe and Dyon’s Universe, that made 99 total. This meant that other Dyon’s home universe, there was actually 1 other completely unclaimed universe left within this quadrant.

[Author’s Note: These totals were mentioned a while back (Chapter named ‘Seed’), finally coming into play now]

This universe was sandwiched between Pakal and Ragnor territory and were likely the only reason they were constantly at each other’s throats. This territory was shared between the two, neither seemingly capable of taking the upper hand on the other. In the end, they split the resources amongst themselves.

With the Ragnors taking the upper northwest of the quadrant and the Pakals taking the northeast, just like Supreme Universe, or Universe Thirteen, was a choke point, so too was this universe in question. It acted as a bridge that connected Ragnor and Pakal territory.

This universe was pointed out by Pathfinder Nixie. As long as Dyon took it, the likelihood of conquering Celestial Quadrant within five years would skyrocket to 60%.

Abraham and Dravil’s task? It was precisely to take this universe under Dyon’s name.

Though it was their task, Dyon didn’t hesitate to give them a helping hand first, conquering its universe spirit and giving Abraham and Dravil the advantage of suppression.

With this, Dyon had taken control of 13 Universes fully, and 1 more in essence.

While the Five Beast Clans were sweating about Dyon’s coming attack, Dyon was already planning far beyond them.
