Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God
chapter-2053

?However, even facing this hellish scape, Dyon's aura surged.

In that moment, the tides below his feet were crushed into obedience. The water became a shining, smooth black surface, completely unable to move.

Ri, Madeleine, Clara and Amphorae couldn't help but look toward Dyon's back. It felt in recent days that the shadow he cast over everything was becoming larger and larger.

Maybe if they were a lesser type of woman, they would begin to feel the distance between them and their husband growing. But the reality was that they felt that this Dyon was more like the man they loved than the previous Dyon was.

It was a truly inexplicable feeling. They had always loved Dyon, this was undeniable. There were many points in time where they didn't think they could love him any more. But, with each passing day, he was suddenly becoming more and more perfect to them.

However, this came with a contradictory feeling… it felt like in order for Dyon to become this perfect man to them, he was distancing himself more and more from the mundane, as though he was slowly rising into the skies, looking down at the world from a higher and higher vantage point.

It felt like just now he had released his aura… but the reality was that he had only taken a step forward… The oceans waters took it upon themselves to calm on their own…

However, it was for this exact reason they subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when Dyon spoke those words to Anak. Maybe he wasn't as detached as they believed.

"Here." Dyon suddenly spoke.

His right eye trembled slightly, an imperceptible barrier of space wrapping around them. It was only when it touched the surface of the water that its form became faintly discernible.

This still black surface deformed around the sphere, but only Dyon knew how difficult this seemingly nonchalant action was. It felt like he was moving aside thousands of jin with every push forward. This weight was negligible to his current strength… but this was only the surface!

The world below was both exactly as one might expect and completely unlike it at the same time.

At first glance, it was an endless black. Without an ounce of light, it was impossible to see with one's own eyes. If you had ordinary eyes, that is.

Dyon's eyes, however, were highly sensitive to distortions in space. Such heavy water moving around, or any entities strong enough to push said water, would definitely be easily readable to him.

On the other hand, it was completely unlike what one might expect as well… Beneath a body of water's surface, currents shouldn't be easily noticed. However, the ancient battlefield was completely different.

Torrents of water spun like tornados, piercing in every direction. They would sometimes bundle together, forming spherical death traps of churning water, and at other times, they would suddenly burst with highly concentrated qi, obliterating beasts that swam too closely to these phenomena into meat paste…

The world below the surface was even more hellish that the surface itself…

Dyon's senses grasped all of these violent changes. He might have truly been the only one on the mortal plane, aside from maybe his own daughter, that could do so. But even then, Alauna was only a First Grade World Seer, while Dyon had already progressed to the third. Even on the Immortal Plane, he would be respected, especially since the highest-grade World Seer currently was only of the Ninth Grade.

"Water can behave like this…?" Ri's gaze suddenly became absent as though she was comprehending something.

Dyon, who was about to take a step forward, paused when he noticed this.

In the past several decades, he had comprehended many wills unintentionally. Among them, there was of course one of the most common, water will. However, despite it being one of the more simply wills to comprehend, Dyon rarely came across martial warriors that utilized it.

That wasn't to say that there weren't powerful martial warriors that tapped into the will, but even those powerful individuals never will used water will. Instead, they used the far more powerful ice will.

The trouble with water will is that it was simply too lacking in strength.

Other elemental wills had useful auxiliary functions. For example, wind will was excellent for speed, earth will was excellent for defense. Both could evolve to become something greater than their original foundations as well. Wind will could not only be applied to speed, but also agility. At the same time, there were countless minerals earth will users could comprehend to strengthen themselves. Earth encompassed too many things.

However, what about water will?

Sure, if applied at high projectile speeds, one could injure others with water. However, wasn't that the case for wind and earth as well? Wind could be made to be incredibly sharp, but it would always be lacking in sharpness to blade wills. Earth could be made to be potent in attack, but it would always be best at defense.

On top of this, of elemental wills, there wasn't even a need to mention fire which stood above the rest along with lightning. There just seemed to be nothing functionally unique about water… There was nothing useful about it aside from the fact it could become ice.

But was this really true?

In the mortal world, there was nothing more important that water. Aside from oxygen, it was probably the one substance one couldn't live for very long without. Dyon found it hard to believe that it suddenly became so useless in the martial world. However, he never cared to put his mind to comprehending it because he already had so many other things on his plate.

It was on the day Dyon comprehended water will to the first will level that he suddenly understood something.

Dyon smiled lightly. 'Seems it was worth it if for nothing else than this alone…'

Dyon had come to realize that he had gravely underestimated elemental wills thanks to the Ancient Battlefield.
