Chapter 1794 Avenge
The Uidah completely lost control of their border Gates and were forced to retreat and regroup. But they had no way of knowing that this was just the beginning.
Just as they were regrouping to counter the Pakals, a sudden attack came from their northwest. The Five Beast Clans and the Ragnors flooded their territory from the top, catching them off guard once more.
Just what was going on? First the Pakals, but now the Ragnors and Five Beast Clan Alliance was capable of attacking while the Gates were closed?
Despair cloaked Uidah territory. By now, they understood the kind of trouble they were in. There was no coincidence, their three rivals had allied to deal with them swiftly.
No, that shouldn"t be it. In all likelihood, the Five Beast Clans had likely already been split amongst the two powerhouses. There was no way they were qualified to be in an alliance with the Pakals and Ragnors.
King Uidah"s already short fuse became shorter. There was no lack of unlucky servants that lost their lives during this time. He couldn"t believe what was happening.
Just a few days ago, the Uidah were on the greatest trajectory they had ever been on in their history. They had so many talents and were only a single universe away from becoming an Emperor G.o.d Clan. How could this happen now?
That was when King Uidah received news that caused him to faint from anger. The army that was trampling across his territory as he sat there in a rage was led by a youth whose name should have been crossed from the history book – Alidor Guatama!
Almost 50 years ago now, he had finally rid himself of a thorn at his side. After receiving help from a mysterious group of individuals, he eradicated the Guatama and solidified the rule of his Uidah Clan.
Initially, the benefits were instantaneous. Without splitting their Faith through an Alliance system, the Faith of the Uidah skyrocketed, allowing them to stave off the Pakals for so many years.
He knew back then that two had escaped, but he hadn"t lost any sleep over it. Everyone knew how difficult it was to raise one"s Clan up, what could two orphans do?
How could he had ever guessed that the very two orphans he didn"t care for would be leading the army of his demise?
He didn"t know what to think. He had too many questions, as anyone would. Just how could this have happened?
King Uidah had no choice but to leave the task up to his two sons. He had yet to decide who would inherit his throne, so he could only test them in this way, sending Dravil to the Northwest and sending Abraham to the East.
But, all he received in return was news of a series of defeats. Whether it was Dravil or Abraham, they couldn"t stop the momentum of the armies.
To make matters worse, it wasn"t just them either. None of the Sons or Daughters could seem to win even a single battle. In fact, the only one who managed to do so was the former First Celestial Daughter, and Dravil"s current fiancée, Nora.
[Author"s Note: Yes, both Madeleine"s biological mom and the former first celestial daughter share this name. This time, I did it on purpose. I thought that in a world with so many people, at least some would have the same name… In retrospect, it"s a pretty useless detail. Sorry about that].
By the time King Uidah came to realize that all of his brightest children had betrayed him, the armies were already upon Ethereal City.
Alidor held his little sister"s hand as they stood above the city, looking toward the beaten and bloodied King Uidah. Of course, neither of them had the strength to do this just yet, so they relied on Glorianice.
"Mother… Father… We"ve come to avenge your deaths…" Alidor whispered softly.
King Uidah wiped the blood from his lips, looking up toward Alidor and Kaeara with a vicious light in his eyes.
He had tried to call his Ancestors to a.s.sist him long ago, but for some reason the connection had been cut. To make matters worse, even his Faith was useless before his opponent.
Beasts like the Dream Panthers and Dragons weren"t completely helpless before Faith. If they were, they likely wouldn"t have survived so long. Dragons had their Dragon Souls and humanoid transformations. Unfortunately for Chenglei, his Dragon bloodline only birthed him a Bronze Dragon Soul. In addition, as he was in the Celestial Quadrant this whole time, he had no opportunity to hunt other Dragons to improve his Dragon Soul. As a result, his Dragon Soul was useless before Dyon.
As for Dream Panthers, they could weaken their opponents will by forcing them to enter their Dream Domains. This gave opponents the illusion that their Faith was weakened, when the reality was that they were foolishly accessing only a small part of it. Glorianice had tried to use her Dream Domain against Dyon while they were signing the soul contract between them, unfortunately for her, Dyon had The Seal protecting his mind.
Before Glorianice, a mere King G.o.d Clan, even if it was the King in question, it was all useless.
Alidor and his sister looked down upon King Uidah. Though Alidor had to maintain his dignity as the Commander Dyon entrusted with this operation, Kaeara could no longer hold back her tears. The gushed forward like a flood. Though revenge was sweet, she realized that even after they completed this goal they had dreamt of all their lives, their parents, their friends, their family… Would never come back to them.
"I see that you don"t regret what you did, even now." Alidor said emotionlessly.
King Uidah sneered. "The world of cultivation is a place where the strong rule the weak. This time, I am the weak one. Nothing more, nothing less. Kill me and be done with it."
Alidor shook his head. "It seems you still don"t understand. Your words seem to imply that you were ever the strong one, when the truth was that you were always weak."
