Rebirth of the Nameless Immortal God

?Hearing this, Roe already knew his life was finished. Without hesitation, he turned and ran. But before he could take a second step, he found a hand clutching his throat.

"How many mortals do you think died in this eruption, abandoned by you, their supposed City Lord?"

Roe wanted to scream. Who cared about mortals? Plus, you hypocrite! With your power, couldn't you have saved them?! Why are you blaming me?!

Unfortunately for Roe, Dyon didn't consider himself to be some lofty hero. He couldn't save everyone, nor did he have the time or power to. The main reason he wanted to defeat The Entity wasn't for the sake of the people of the mortal plane, it was to eliminate a threat on his family. Nothing more, nothing less.

Now, Roe and people like him wanted to block his path back to his family simply due to the fact he was a mortal. There was one type of person Dyon would never have mercy on… It was a person who wanted to take him away from the people he loved.

All those years ago, he imprisoned and tortured Lilianna, a gorgeous woman and holy princess for daring to do this. If he could do such a thing to a dainty fairy, why would he ever spare Roe?

"[Devour]."

Roe's nascent soul scattered.

'… I really was right… It was incredibly small, but when I devoured them, my mental energy went up…' Dyon's gaze blazed.

He had reached the One with Self realm of [Devour] a long time ago. But he never expected it for it to experience this sort of mutation.

It was no wonder he never realized this on the mortal plane. His soul was so much more powerful than everyone else's so only other nascent souls could barely make his own budge. But, how could he have possibly found such a thing on the mortal plane?

'… Good. This is good.'

Dyon snatched the massive bags the two Immortal Saints had brought with them, throwing them into his Inner World.

"It seems we're going to have a good harvest today." Dyon grinned, sending his words to Saru and Lilith.

"What did you find?"

"There's a mist glass vein hidden deep within Mount Volaire that Skull was lucky enough to find five eruptions ago. Unfortunately for him, the last four eruptions didn't clear that area, so he wasn't able to find it. He came to try again this time, but failed to find it again.

"However, what they found this time was an equivalent volcanic ore vein. I can only say that this Skull is incredibly lucky. At least, that's what I would say had I not known how this mist glass works…"

Dyon went on to explain his findings to the two women as he headed toward the volcanic ore vein. Though the two of them had gotten to it first, they hadn't been powerful enough to head too deeply into it. Volcanic ore hadn't been very useful to Dyon in the past, but he suddenly realized something.

If he used high quality volcanic ore to refine the Dragon King's corpse… Just what kind of effect would it have?

As for mist glass, its fundamental ability was to raise awareness and comprehension ability. However, it was the way in which it did this that interested Dyon.

Like its name suggested, it reflected the mist over one's heart, helping one to meditate over their weaknesses and fix them. It was a way of forcing one to face their inner demons and strengthen their Dao Heart. Such a treasure was invaluable.

Skull had used this ability to strengthen his senses for a short time and thus find the volcanic ore vein.

However, obviously, Dyon had no need of it. His Dao Heart was already too strong and by extension, his comprehension was maybe the best on the Immortal Plane. No… he was certain it was.

What Dyon realized was that this mist glass was perfect for Reaper.

Being able to force a person to face their inner demons… If this wasn't the perfect ability for a Scythe, Dyon didn't know what was. With high enough quality mist glass, Dyon was confident in repairing Reaper to be even stronger than it had been in the past.

...

Finding the volcanic ore vein wasn't difficult for Dyon. Retracing Skull and Roe's memories, it took him a fraction of the time it would take them, especially since he didn't have to be as cautious as they did.

The vein was located in a sea of molten rock. Its existence was about the only solid foundation in the entire space.

Looking at it, Dyon understood why the two Immortal Saints were only able to take such a small fraction of it. They simply didn't have the ability to protect themselves for very long down there. They could only dive for as long as their qi lasted, then come back up to recover. They ended up repeating this process several times, but only ended up with about half a cauldron's worth.

Considering the size of their bags, being of not even a meter in diameter, it was clear just how dense this volcanic ore was. Yet, there was much more still buried deep.

Suddenly, Chibi popped out of Dyon's forehead, finding a seat on his shoulders and pulling his hair excitedly.

"I want it, I want it!" Her adorable voice called out with excitement.

At this point, Dyon all but slapped his own forehead. He had already recognized the value of volcanic ore for creating high quality alchemy furnaces. But, he had dismissed the resource entirely because the first portions of it he had run into were too low quality. He hadn't even considered giving them over to Chibi because of that.

The good news was that Dyon decided to come here anyway instead of just jetting off to look around for the mist glass ore instead. He thought that it might be worth looking into, and it seemed that he was right.
