Over a year ago, Clara had bet that Dyon's battalion would not only overtake Diasho Ren's, but also rank 1st. She said that she'd make him run naked for 10 000 laps around the Star Dome. Back then, Diasho Ren had brazenly said he'd accept if she did the same when she lost. 

He was very lucky that Dyon wasn't here. If Dyon even knew about this bet, for Diasho Ren's audacity in even attempting to make his wife do such a thing, he'd have his head. 

True God Diasho's face stiffened slightly when Amphorae walked by him without a word, but he no longer feared her. In fact, he was quite confident that he could conquer her. 

If she was as powerful as he thought she was, why would she only rank 11th amongst the battalions?

'I'll make you mine!' The glow in his eyes only seemed to grow more feverish.

Ri looked at the disorderly battlefield around her and shook her head. She had really been too spoiled by always fighting under Dyon's organized and methodical methods. Fighting under others made her realize just how ridiculously low the standards of the martial world seemed. 

Everyone was seeking their own benefits and their own merit points, and everyone seemed to believe that their own strength was the most important. In the end, the result was a chaotic battlefield where even swapping opponents continuously wasn't rare. 

While Madeleine was under God Amora's Battalion, and Clara was under Amphorae's Battalion, Ri hadn't been placed with either. Of course, Dyon still placed her with a trusted friend, Damaris. 

Unfortunately, Damaris wasn't much of a commander. One could see her massive but beautiful draconic body in the distance, glistening gorgeous light pinks and violets as her crystalline scales reflected the high sunlight. 

This was pretty much how all the dragons fought, it was precisely why though they were ranked very high in individual merits, their battalions were actually ranked quite low. 

The main issue, though, was that Damaris seemed to be on a mission. She refused to stop fighting until there were no enemies left. Even as commander, she often ended up the most injured by the end their bloody wars. 

Of course, Ri had a faint idea why. Damaris for some odd reason really wanted to be Dyon's beast partner. For a dragon, this was completely unprecedented. Chenglei was obviously an exceptionally rare case. 

However, Damaris' purpose seemed to be different from Chenglei. Despite being willing to be submissive to Dyon, it didn't seem like she had broken Heavens Chains like Chenglei had. 

It made sense for someone like Dyon's younger brother Zaire to not experience this, after all, he was only half qilin. So, any benefits he received from shattering Heavens Chains would be greatly diminished in comparison. 

The issue was that Damaris was a full-fledged Dragon, so this reality confused Ri and even Dyon a bit. If Dyon had to guess, he believed that it might be due to the special path of the Crystal Dragons. After all, unlike other dragons who were quite fiery, they emphasized calmness. Giralda and Ryu were prime examples of this. Maybe due to this, they were more likely to be submissive than other Dragons, and as such wouldn't break Heavens Chains by simply lowering their heads. 

The paths of the Heavens were complex, so it was impossible for Dyon or anyone to comprehend them completely. But this was his best guess. 

Ri sighed. She really didn't know what Damaris was thinking. Whatever was in that head of hers though, this sort of self-harm was really too much. It had already been almost 10 years since they began, yet she had hardly rested for a single day. If it wasn't because her cultivation was a bit weak compared to the top True Gods, she'd likely rank first in individual points. 

'Queen, we should probably save them again.' A fairy with beauty beyond words hovered over Ri's shoulder. 

Petite fairies standing about half a foot tall fluttered around Ri, each with differing eye and hair colors. 

They were a bit indignant that their queen had essentially been tasked with cleaning up the mess of this so-called Agios Battalion, but there was nothing they could do. 

Ri shook her head. "Alright, let's go. Galadrhim, [Life Vein]."

Galadrhim took action without hesitation. The ancient tree root she rode like a surfboard vibrated as a vibrant wood will overwhelmed the battlefield. 

"Lady Sacharro is taking action again!" The members of the Agiod Battalion cheered, it was as though Ri was their Army Chief and not Damaris. 

Thick roots pierced through the ground, surging through the battlefield and forming a massive barrier standing hundreds of meters tall. 

In an instant, those who stood within its range felt their stamina quickly replenishing. But the most shocking part was that this wasn't sustained by Ri's own stamina at all! Instead, various enemy beasts were suddenly pierced through, unable to resist. Their life force was directly turned into Ri's strength! 

The Acacia Clan's Tree of Life and Death was powerful, but it was a technique that had always been a mere replica of the World Tree's ability! Galadrhim was Ri's wood nymph, her strength in snatching and using life force was far stronger than even Dyon's own use of the Tree of Life and Death! 

"Asrai, [Imposing Cage]." 

A blue haired fairy obliged immediately, a surging water qi erupting. It felt as though all the moisture in the air was snatched without regard. All of the water of this 5th Tier Planet suddenly rippled, ripped away from their homes in an instant and wrested into Ri's control. 

A massive orb of water began to form, so large in fact that it resembled a crystalline moon. Its aura was devastating and its presence undeniable. 

"Let's go." A beast orb in Ri's hand flashed, revealing a creature so beautiful that even the orb of water seemed to pale in comparison. 

A white scaled kun peng soared into the skies, Ri riding on its back like an elegant water goddess descending.
