Chapter 1896 Attention
Dyon felt the tremble in mind grow fiercer. In an instant, his mind spun, connecting many seemingly disjointed memories. If his face wasn"t hidden beneath a mask, the Emperor Giant would be shocked to see that the man he lauded as a Higher Existence was pale beyond recognition!
[Author"s Note: EVERYONE PUT ON THOSE THINKING CAPS AND JOG THOSE MEMORIES.]
Amphorae, his very own wife"s const.i.tution, was known as Hypnos" Muse. When she explained it to him, what had she said exactly…
That was right. Others believed that Amphorae was simply weaker than they initially thought because of her subpar performance during the Federation"s first mission, but only those close to her knew that there were two very good reasons!
First, she spent much of her time training Clara. And second, the time that wasn"t spent training Clara… Was spent sleeping!
And why was it that she slept so often? It was precisely because of her const.i.tution, Hypnos" Muse. And where had her const.i.tution come from…?
Wasn"t it because there was a man in the past named Hypnos… Who also wielded an Ancient Const.i.tution?!
Wasn"t Hypnos also a Greek G.o.d in his mortal clan"s history books?!
If this matter ended here, maybe Dyon would be more indifferent. However, there was another shocking matter… This time, it resided in his very own body…
It can"t be that the War G.o.d, the mighty G.o.d of War, the man who wielded two of the martial intents Dyon himself now wielded, was also related to all of this, right?! It can"t be that his name was Ares… Right?!
And now there was Zeus? Wielder of an Ancient const.i.tution, and…
"… The G.o.d of the Skies! The Chief Deity!"
Dyon knew of only three Ancient Const.i.tutions. Yet they were all related to Greek Mythology. They were all related to the Olympus Clan… It must be coincidence. It must be that he was wrong. It can"t be that all of the Ancient Const.i.tution to ever be birthed were born within this Clan, right?!
Dyon quickly steadied himself. He didn"t understand why he had such a fierce reaction to all of this. But if he was correct, these matters were too shocking.
What of the others? Did a G.o.ddess of Love exist? A G.o.ddess of the seasons? A Mother of G.o.ds?
Just how far did this go?
"… This can"t possibly be that important, why am I reacting like this… Even if they were all part of that Clan, they"re all dead already! No one born with an Ancient Const.i.tution has ever transcended, not a single one even made it to the Dao Realm."
Dyon always trusted his instincts, but this time, his reaction was just too ridiculous. No matter how hard he thought, he couldn"t find a logical reason for his trembling.
"Interestingly enough..." Emperor Angelus continued with a proud expression. He mistook Dyon"s reaction for pleasure, believing that the story he had told to this point had received full marks, so he decided to add a bit more, just so Dyon was certain he was one of them. "… Angels didn"t have wings until Lord Zeus was born.
"It was because of his special Ancient Const.i.tution that we gained the extra meridian pathways of our wings, allowing our strength to bloom to an all-new level.
"Of course, this only makes sense. After all, he isn"t known as the G.o.d of the Skies without reason, if he didn"t have wings, something would be missing."
The proud Emperor Giant had no way of knowing that Dyon wasn"t even listening to him any longer.
By the time Dyon started paying attention again, the Emperor Giant was well along in his story. It was a good thing he started paying attention again too… Because it seemed there was something just as important that Dyon almost missed.
"… With the help of Lord Zeus, the t.i.tans were on the brink of extinction. Even coming together, they weren"t enough.
"Unfortunately for the t.i.tans, this wasn"t because they were so much less talented. The true reason behind this was their lack of innovation! After they reached the top, they stopped improving. Their techniques completely stagnated and never changed, allowing the Angels to adapt and think of counter measures for everything they could possibly do.
"Many of them had already given up what it truly meant to be human. For them, it was already too late to turn back. They believed in their own strength too much, and eventually, this became their downfall."
When Dyon heard this, his eyes narrowed. The reason was simple. If this was the end of the story, what was the point of all of this to begin with? Dyon had asked who the enemy of the angels were, not who their fallen enemies were!
Luckily, Emperor Angelus didn"t disappoint.
"But, as the t.i.tans neared their end, it seemed that some of them grasped that this was their weakness. If they lost what it meant to be human, what would be the point of it all?
"It was then the Heavens smiled down upon t.i.tans and the Ancient Battlefield was created!
"The very first Failed Clan… It was the t.i.tans themselves!"
Dyon"s heart palpitated. He had always wondered why his const.i.tution"s world was the Ancient Battlefield. It turned out that this was the reason!
He always knew that there had to be a secret behind this reality, but he hadn"t expected a simple visit to the supposedly simple-minded giants would reveal all of this to him.
Who said that Giants were all brawn and no brain? Ridiculous!
"In the end, it turned out that the innovation of us angels became the very thing that allowed our enemies to survive. It turned out that the t.i.tans were given this opportunity because they also managed to subdue a Universe Spirit. Such a large secret was simply too difficult to keep hidden.
"In reality, the Angels never tried to hide it. The reason was simple… our ancestors simply didn"t believe it was possible to subdue a Universe Spirit without comprehending Qi. What they didn"t know was that the Heavens didn"t play favorites… All three paths were given equal opportunity to succeed!"
