Chapter 1751 Reality
True God Star knew his friend\'s tastes well. There was nothing he hated more than docile, weak-willed women. For someone like Lyla, he wouldn\'t give her a second glance. This was of course not to say that Lyla was weak-willed. It was very rare to find someone with stronger will than a True Empath who saw nothing but the thoughts of others all day. But, it was rather to say that her appearance wasn\'t to True God Diasho\'s liking.
In truth, True God Star would be lying if he said he didn\'t have the same reaction to laying eyes on Amphorae. However, he had a duty as a man with his three wives by his side to not display such emotion. He owed his wives at least this modicum of respect.
King Star regained his composure. Though Amphorae cut through his momentum, that was only because he hadn\'t been speaking with any intention of being interrupted. This little girl was still far from his match. Though, by that same token, he was no match for this petite silver-haired woman who had still yet to speak a single word.
"Madame Sacharro, have you come to join our Federation, or declare hostilities against it."
"Declare hostilities?" Amphorae wasn\'t a wordsmith like her husband, nor was she as quippy as Clara or Ri, but she wasn\'t a fool either. Though she preferred to battle with her fists, King Star\'s words were far too shameless. "We\'ve only just arrived to hear statements about your fledgling Federation\'s plans on dividing up territory that doesn\'t belong to you. You say that your criteria is strength of Clan, especially that of its youths… Are you suggesting that the Sacharro Clan lacks talented youths and thus doesn\'t deserve to be within your parliament?"
Though King Star\'s face didn\'t show it, he felt as though he had been pushed between a rock and a hard place.
Thinking of the arrogance the Sacharro Clan had displayed, he thought they wouldn\'t even appear today. Then, by the time they realized the growing strength of their Federation, it would be too late to retaliate. But, who would have known that Dyon would send his wives here.
\'Hold on a moment… Just two years ago, this red-haired little girl was in Sacharro Clan territory. How did she make it here so fast? Did someone let her in…? Unless?\'
King Star\'s gaze once more fell on Luna, his evaluation of her raising several fold.
\'Don\'t tell me the Sacharro Clan have more than one Higher Existence…\'
King Star felt his meticulous plans were falling by the wayside. This was their chance to bring the Sprite Alliance to a level playing field with the Nephilim and the Sapientia, not to mention an opportunity to make his Star Clan the sixth power of their Sprite Alliance, but they had suddenly run into a roadblock.
In the end, King Star sighed and began to speak.
"You misunderstand. No… actually, you understand perfectly well. The Federation seeks to band the tower quadrants together toward a common goal. Should your Sacharro Clan stand in the way of that, we – well, at least my Star Clan – would be forced to oppose you. Towards such ends… I could only see the Sacharro Clan as selfish."
"I do not remember saying we would not cooperate. In fact, the Sacharro Clan is also willing to provide resources to the budding youths of the tower quadrants. I believe we have the necessary power to hold a seat, no?"
King Star was stunned once more. They actually cared to join? But… Did he dare to accept them?
Thinking of Dyon potential, he shivered. When last seen, as a Middle Celestial, he was already capable of rebuffing lower dao experts. Of course, he used several treasures, but it was a fact, nonetheless.
The problem was… Even if King Star wanted to say no now, could he?
The reality was that Amphorae, Luna and Lyla had been here for a while. It was just that those below weren\'t qualified to see through Luna\'s cloaking.
The moment Amphorae heard of King Star\'s plans, she knew immediately what Dyon would do. In fact, she knew that Dyon would practically be doing flips in his heart right now.
What was it that Dyon wanted to do the most currently, was it not uniting the whole of the tower quadrants? The issue was that he knew it was impossible to do so before the Ancient Battlefield descended, which was why he focused his mind upon the Celestial and Soul Rend Quadrants.
However, the Star Clan was practically laying out an opportunity before him.
Claiming territories based on the exploits of their youths? It was practically a playing field created for Dyon to thrive.
Even if he didn\'t accumulate enough points to take all of the universes for himself, it would be fine as long as he could control a good portion of them. At the very least, it would make conquering in the future much easier.
This wasn\'t even the most poignant point. Why had Dyon created the Mortal Library and given everyone access to it? The important point here was that Dyon didn\'t simply want to conquer a bunch of weak universes. If he wanted to do such a thing, he would have set his attention on the 100th ranked quadrant that everyone ignored.
Dyon didn\'t just need territory, he needed strong citizens as well or else they wouldn\'t stand a single chance in the future.
This Federation gave him the opportunity to rear a new generation of geniuses. Even if it made conquering them in the future more difficult, it would be worth it!
Dyon needed to quickly raise the standards of the tower quadrants to at least be capable of marginally competing with the outer powers. If he had to conquer them all first before he could improve them, it would take too long. But now he could justifiably do so without any issues!
"Is there a problem?" Amphorae spoke lightly.
