Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God Chapter 1013 Resonating

Chapter 1013 Resonating

When Sophia awoke, she was first shocked. After, when she realized what happened, she thanked Dyon profusely, swearing to pay him back in any way she could.

Dyon only laughed and waved it off. He didn't save her for the credit. Plus, he got a valued experience out of saving her life. When he became a genius of runic vein theory in the future, she would definitely be among those he thanked in his mind.

As for the three disciples Arthurian injured, Dyon simply gave them pills. The valley was closing soon, so despite their injuries being less severe, he didn't have to time to heal them personally. It was a good thing none of them knew much about alchemy and pills, or else they would have been shocked by the level the pill reached.

It wasn't long before the group of six began walking toward the edge of the outer valley. They all knew that there was a large elephant in the room that they weren't speaking of, but there was nothing they could do about Violet's deathly silence. It seemed as though she had not even breathed in the last few days.

Giving Dyon a meaningful look, Sophia and the three disciples walked off ahead, slightly disappearing into the fog.

Dyon couldn't help but cringe when he saw this. Did they really think he was her boyfriend? Dammit.

'If I try to avoid this, they'll think I'm insensitive.' In the end, he could only grit his teeth and walk beside Violet. Although he didn't particularly care about what others thought of him, he had his own moral line to follow as well. He couldn't leave a woman who had just gone through something like this alone, despite him not having a good initial impression of her.

After almost another hour of complete silence, Violet suddenly spoke. Her voice was clear and firm, once again, as though nothing had happened.

"How did you manage to escape the Grandmaster?"

Dyon smiled weirdly, but still answered. "Our month-long contract was up a while ago."

"Oh? I'm surprised she kept her word." Violet muttered absentmindedly.

Dyon could only silently chuckle. It was true that in those sorts of situations, it would be more likely for the sun to rise in the west than for a woman of Clara's caliber to let something go so easily. But, Clara was his wife, no matter how abrasive she is, she wouldn't make things too difficult for him.

After another long silence, Violet couldn't help but break it again.

"Are you going to make me say it?"

Noticing the odd tone in her voice, Dyon frowned in confusion. "Say what?"

"You asked me what I thought about you when you stopped me from killing those three. Do you really need a woman to ask you for an explanation? Shouldn't you be active and provide it for yourself?"

"Uh…" Dyon's words became stuck in his throat. In any other situation, he would draw a clean line between them no matter how her feelings were hurt. But, he almost didn't have the heart to do so just two days removed from those events. The process of 'letting someone down easy' wasn't so easy at all in this situation. Dyon felt like whoever came up with the saying should suffer punishment for being so misleading.

Seeing Dyon unable to answer, Violet pressed. "I didn't kill them because of your word. Is it that your word means nothing?"

Her voice cracked, a flurry of bottled emotions overflowing. "I get it. You don't want a woman who's been tainted like me. Who would want a wife seen so casually by another? Am I worth nothing now?"

The complex emotions in Dyon's eyes lit. That wasn't it at all! He wanted to roar. But, no matter how he tried to frame it in his head, nothing came out right.

With his speed of thought, he must have thought through thousands of possible responses in that moment, yet none seemed to fit.

Dyon knew in his heart that Violet's plight wasn't the reason he didn't want her. If the words she was saying came from Ava's mouth instead of her own, Dyon wouldn't hesitate to take Ava in arms.

The difference was clear. Violet was only seen naked, while Ava, although she fell unconscious, was legitimately a.n.a.lly raped. It wasn't to belittle what Violet had gone through, but it was to prove that Dyon wasn't judging her based on merely being seen by another man considering he was willing to accept Ava despite far worse being done to her.

He just didn't have those kinds of feelings for Violet. And although his relations.h.i.+p with Ava wasn't romantic either, she had a place and pedestal in his heart Violet didn't.

Maybe the largest difference between the two was that Ava would never try to leverage her situation or entrap Dyon on moral standings like Violet was doing now. This made the irony of it all that this very situation would never occur between him and Ava. In fact, if Dyon knew Ava at all, even if she did grow feelings for him, she would rather die than tell him about it for fear that he would only accept her feelings out of pity.

When Dyon reached this conclusion, his heart steeled.

"Violet, I'm sorry. I can't accept your feelings."

Dyon didn't turn to see Violet's face fall or her devastated reaction. Or, more accurately, he couldn't. Because the moment his words sounded out, the valley trembled and their nearly three-month adventure came to an end.

When Dyon was teleported out of the world, he once again appeared in the land of snow with others he had entered with. Because he wasn't wearing his mask, he immediately took the opportunity to disappear into his tower.

Dyon learned earlier that one of the reasons the tower could escape spatial locks so easily was because of its own spatial characteristics. After gaining control of the first floor, Dyon could increase and decrease its size at a whim. If Dyon so chose, the tower could become as small as the width of a single atom, or as large as an entire planet. This was likely why it felt like the number of floors was endless.

This would be quite a good life saving measure for Dyon in the future. The only unfortunate part was that no matter how small he became, truly strong individuals would still be able to find him. In addition, the tower wasn't impregnable. If someone used a large area of effect attack while he had still yet to escape, he'd be in trouble.

The good news was that this wasn't what Dyon needed it for right now. He only wanted to use it to change.

Almost as soon as Dyon entered the tower, he immediately heard an agitated shrieking.

"YOU b.i.t.c.h! GIVE MY ANCESTOR'S LEGACY BACK! THE WATER MIST SECT WON'T LET YOU GO!" Chrysanthemum's almost incoherent ramblings shook the ice world causing everyone to look over at her with confusion clear in their eyes.

It was only after inquiring about what happened to their nearby friends that the story began to be understood.

It turned out that one of the founders of the Water Mist Sect had been in the core valley for a long time. Every instance of the Valley of Geniuses opening, the Water Mist Sect would send its best disciples, hoping to gain the recognition of this ancestor of theirs.

Unfortunately, millions of years had pa.s.sed without her choosing anyone.

Of course, Chrysanthemum was very confident in her abilities, so she a.s.sumed that she would be the one to break this cycle. Because of the information she was privy due to her sect, she managed to reach the statue long before Ri did. However, to her dismay, just like all of her sisters before her, the statue completely ignored her.

Although Chrysanthemum was heart-broken, she could only let it be. Maybe the statue's spirit had already dissipated. That had to be it.

Yet, after she left, she got word that Ri had actually begun resonating with her ancestor!

How could she accept such a slap to the face? She immediately rushed there to s.n.a.t.c.h the Legacy away. Although she was clear that Ri was more powerful that she was, resonating took a huge chunk of your battle prowess away.

It was unacceptable!
