Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

"30%?" Dyon's brows shot up for the second time in this short visit. He had expected something around a percentage point or two, but 30%? It was more than he could ask for.

Celestial Hamsters were different from other beasts. Little Yin and Yang had their strength from birth. Of course, they were royals while those rodents who survived here wouldn't be, but this truth still stood. They'd be useful immediately.

There was another matter as well. With Eli here, Dyon no longer had to worry about the Fate Breaking Pill ingredients. With his abilities, it would only be another decade or so before Dyon had more ingredient sets to work with than he could handle.

In fact, Eli was already working on it from what Dyon knew. The Life Ring was almost too small to contain everything now. Eli had truly started to come onto his own abilities.

It had to remembered that the other Heaven's Children were several million years old already and had had time to become familiar with their abilities. Compared to them, Eli was a baby who had only been alive for 30 or so years.

Dyon smiled. "Shall we?"

The researchers looked toward Dyon with excitement. They hadn't expected to be a part of this process. But, before they knew it, Dyon had already taken action.

103 Barrier Breaking Pills appeared in the air.

With a thought, Dyon communicated with the hidden realm of celestial beast blood, easily controlling the atmospheric qi to take 103 drops of celestial hamster blood.

A blinding flash of light swept through the research room. Soon, the pills appeared once more, burning with a bright luster.

Dyon looked toward the rodents. They had all become heaven grade beasts by now, so they had their own intelligence though they couldn't speak. Dyon could see them looking toward the pills with a keen anticipation.

All beasts had the innate will to grow strong, even at the risk of themselves. Despite the torture Dyon had put them through, they realized how much stronger they had become. They wanted nothing more than to grow even stronger.

'What do you think Little Yin, Little Yang. If they succeed, will they listen?'

'Of course. If they truly become one of us, no Celestial Hamster can refuse the commands of us royals. Though every Celestial Hamster has an instinct to seek out an anchor, us royals can also act as proxy anchors for lesser celestial hamsters.' Little Yang said proudly. 'By extension, they'll listen to our anchor as well.'

Dyon nodded. After reassuring himself of this final point, he sent the pills forward, his calm gaze watching on.

The 103 rodents leapt toward the pills, swallowing them whole.

The room began to shake. The agonizing screams of the rodents who failed made Dyon feel a bit of guilt, but he steeled his heart.

Some researchers collected the corpses of the rodents that failed. Though the showers of blood and gore were off putting to others, these researchers had long become used to it. All they were thinking about was the next attempt. If they used Bryzo's abilities to analyze these corpses, maybe they could find the secret to increasing the probability from 30%.

The minutes continued to tick by. Dyon intently stared at the rodents that remained, his calm gaze holding a keen fire to them.

Though he didn't say anything, he knew the importance of this attempt. Although he had Eli, it would take time for him to nurture the moon grade spiritual herbs Dyon needed to make the Barrier Breaking Pills needed for another attempt. If this failed…

Almost the moment Dyon thought this, the Heavens finally smiled down upon him.

Massive shadows of majestic beasts began to appear one after another. The howling of these beasts reverberated throughout Planet Soul. Then…

CRASH

The sound of shattering glass reverberated like a heavenly melody in Dyon's ears.

One after another, a blinding luster began to emanate from the surviving rodents. No… Celestial Hamsters.

As the light faded, Dyon's eyes trained on his army of hamsters, what would be the foundation for the Shadows Faction.

37 beautiful hamsters with pure white coats and sparkling white eyes sat. The excitement in their eyes was clear, making their human-like emotions even more pronounced.

It had succeeded. In fact, it was slightly more than 30% at that. Though the more than 60 failures hurt Dyon's heart, both for the rodents and the lost resources, the success was enough to wash that away.

Finally, after more than 100 years of effort, Dyon's persistence had borne fruit.

The Mortal Alliance now had an army of Celestial Hamsters.

"Daddy!"

Little Alauna's adorable figure sprinted out from the academy building, leaping into Dyon's arms.

Her hair had grown much longer, no longer the short curls of the past. Now, it shone with a rose platinum color as it waved in the wind, following along with her happy strides.

Dyon grinned. "How was your day?"

"Very fun! We learned a lot!"

Technically, Researcher Lind's, or rather, Chancellor Lind's curriculum wasn't meant to start until a child was two years old. At the moment, Alauna's first birthday was still rapidly approaching, so she hadn't quite hit that mark yet. But, with how advanced she was, she had no trouble keeping up with kids who were older than she was.

Though Dyon had a mind to tutor her privately because she was so bright, he didn't want Alauna to grow up without kids her age. It seemed Luna agreed with this sentiment as well, or else she wouldn't have sent Alauna to school so early on.

This method actually helped Alauna too. She wanted to quickly catch up with Mia, Bella, Aiden and Junior, so she didn't want to sit at home all day. All of them were well ahead on Chancellor Lind's curriculum, so it would take some time even for Alauna to catch up.

Dyon wasn't quite certain what his little girl's talent was, nor did he bother checking. Making use of Little Alauna was the last thing on his mind. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact he knew Junior was his clone, he wouldn't have allowed him to begin cultivating so early.
