Chapter 2195 Reckless
Chapter 2195 Reckless
?The voice of the chess playing elder trailed off when he looked up to Nazaire's dark expression.
"…what happened? Did he interfere?"
"… No. The boy is just more difficult to deal with than we thought."
"How difficult could a boy be to handle?"
By now, both chess playing elders had looked up, observing the Alchemy God with weird expressions.
After listening to his story, the two elders sent a frowning gaze toward each other. It was difficult to tell what they were thinking. In the end, they decided that this wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Not only did they avoid the embarrassment their friend had to suffer through, but now they had a more legitimate reason to target Dyon.
"This is good, this is one less headache. If he dies because he broke our laws and was taken down by an Immortal Hunter, we don't have to take any responsibility for it. If it wouldn't be too obvious what we were doing, it would be even better if we put a Tier 9 arrest warrant out for him."
"That would be far too much, even a Tier 7 warrant hasn't been issued in several billion years. We can only barely get away with passing down a Tier 5 warrant due to the fact he controls a 3rd ranked Golden Cauldron."
The coalition laws didn't work in cohesion with hegemon laws. In order for each hegemon to maintain and protect its autonomy, the coalition laws were forged such that they didn't directly contradict hegemon laws, especially when it came to laws elicited under Heavenly Oaths like Pill Sword Mountains obligation to treat mortals fairly.
As a result, despite the fact there was now a warrant out for Dyon's arrest, since it was issued under the coalition laws, his golden cauldron hadn't lost any power.
However, this wasn't all good either. Only under coalition laws could such a wide spreading arrest warrant be disseminated. Instead of being wanted in just one or a few star segments… Dyon was wanted in them all!
There was no bounty in existence an Immortal Hunter wanted to claim more than one issued by the coalition. And… when they learned of the fact that the target was a 'mere' mortal, which of them wouldn't be chomping at the bit?
The only one who wasn't fond of this turn of events was Nazaire himself…
As for why they wanted Dyon to fall, was it even possible to see through the thoughts of these old monsters who had lived for billions of years?
However, if one wanted an inkling… it had far more to do with Abraxus than it ever had to do with Dyon. Since he wanted Dyon to live, they wanted the opposite.
...
"Why are you always so reckless? You said you wanted to check out the void battlefield anyway, you could have just gone with him for now and left a clone behind when you wanted to leave. This was completely unnecessary."
Dyon smiled as he listened to Saru's nagging. Was she right…? Maybe so. But he didn't like listening to the orders of others, he didn't have the patience for it. If he was going to go to that battlefield, he would do it on his own terms.
Plus, this arrest warrant sounded interesting. What was even more interesting was the fact that that Immortal God still called him a Venerable despite the circumstances, that revealed something to Dyon that the Immortal God hadn't thought he had revealed. Whatever this arrest warrant was, it likely didn't impact his status as a golden leaf alchemist. And, even more importantly, his golden cauldron might come in handy.
"Oh, it seems like that idiot finally realized that he was the reason no one could chase after me. Took him long enough." Dyon laughed, soaring through the air without a care in the world. However, his speed increased severalfold in that very instant, becoming a streak of power surging through the air.
Saru and Lilith felt the need to strangle Dyon after hearing his 'response'.
"Hey freeloader, mind telling me what a Tier 5 arrest warrant is?" Dyon suddenly asked.
"…"
Amethyst sat in Dyon's inner world alongside Saru and Lilith, her expression cold. Of course, she didn't have such an expression for the two women by her side, but rather for Dyon in specific.
This man should have been her savior, but the truth was that he had snatched her up and sent her into this small world where she had remained the last 30 years. She had practically gone from one prison to another, and now she was in the same boat as a wanted criminal.
However, she would be lying if she said she hated it. Having actual people to talk to, knowing that she wasn't truly in a birdcage anymore, and the fact 30 years was no different from a blink of an eye to her most definitely helped as well.
That said, she could do without being called a freeloader, especially when she never asked to be saved. Why had her inheritor married this womanizing prick?
"… A Tier 5 arrest warrant denotes threat level and bounty amount. It's reserved for a Tier 5 level threat which is essentially the equivalent of a lower to middle Immortal Celestial. However, it isn't that simple. The most accepted definition is a battalion of lower to middle Immortal Celestials. Essentially, you're labeled as more threatening than a million plus such experts."
Dyon's lip twitched, stifling back a laugh. Was this some sort of joke? What had he done to earn such high praise?
"The reward for your head is likewise in immortal celestial grade crystals and can be anywhere from a hundred million to a hundred billion depending on how long you manage to survive from now to the point of your death.
"In addition to this, you won't just be hunted by normal individuals who are infatuated with the price on your head and hope to gain notoriety or quick wealth, the most dangerous individuals who will be coming after you will be the Immortal Hunters."
"Immortal Hunters, hm? Interesting."
"BOY!"
