Divine Emperor of Death

"…"

Nyoran and Queen Nadija remained dumbfounded.

His speech confirmed one thing: the glaring speculation that he could have possibly created the King-Tier and Emperor-Tier characters in his home.

Otherwise, it would not have made sense for so many of them to come around him unless it had been through sheer luck.

'Was this because of the life energy he could use?' Queen Nadija thought.

"Why- Why do you need to go to the Nether Dimension…?" Nyoran asked.

"Just an escape path like your race's technique originally intended it to be."

Davis shook his head, "I don't think I can make any trouble there as there are Empyrean Stage Beasts there, but if yours is an escape ability, I guess we will be transported to a safe place that does not have life or activity around it or whichever rule the Nether Dimension is operating in."

He remembered the Reincarnation Dimension, so he guessed it might be possible that the Nether Dimension represents something and has to accommodate its representation, so a bunch of rules to support its existence would be formed naturally.

Otherwise, Davis didn't think something like the reincarnation cycle could exist as its existence itself was contradictory to the experience of life and death for a soul.

"Yes…" Queen Nadija nodded, "… if the technique works as intended, then we'll be safe, but won't we lose our memories…?"

"I don't believe Nyoran's variance has such restrictions. Her energy is different from that of a Ghostly Crow, and I believe it is darkness-nether energy that has a connection with the Nether Dimension. I figure her concealment ability is even above yours. Am I wrong?"

Davis asked Queen Nadija, but she bit her lips and didn't say anything.

Three seconds later, she nodded her head with a sigh.

"I hate to admit it, but Nyoran is a unique existence even among the variants of our race. Her variance isn't recorded in our history, and that is what caught my eye, so I wanted to recruit her for myself, nurture and protect her, but it turned out that when she came back and exited seclusion, she had become King-Tier, so the meager confidence I had against her as a King-Tier Beast was broken. I presume she's more powerful than me now~"

"My mistress, I-"Nyoran appeared guilty as she put her head down, "I'm sorry."

"My~ You don't need to be."

Queen Nadija smiled, "Cultivation is like that. The strong eventually overcome the obstacles placed before them. However, people wouldn't watch you soar just like that as I'm sure one of my subordinates with devious tendencies or even those who don't believe in your legitimacy is lying to secretly poison you, so be careful."

"I will."

Nyoran lightly said.

She had already stabbed the clan when she revealed one of the clan's secrets to Davis, so even if she was poisoned, she didn't mind. However, she had no plans to just give herself up.

Moreover, she stared at Queen Nadija, her cheeks increasingly taking a crimson hue.

"I wish for you two to mate."

She glanced at Davis and Queen Nadija, shocking them. Nyoran quickly raised her hands, wanting to explain.

"If Queen Nadija is going to end up getting politically married in my stead, then I would wish she would get politically married to you, a man I know she can trust."

She uttered at Davis, causing him to blink before he smiled lightly.

"Well, thanks for your high praise, but I'm sure Queen Nadija wouldn't want that, and neither do I nor my women. Besides, the Ghostly Crow Clan will not enter a political marriage with an Anarchic Divergent. That would mean tying their fates with a manifestation of evil like me, which might significantly reduce their chances of survival in their perspective."

"But you don't seem to think that way, do you?"

Queen Nadija raised one of her brows, appearing unperturbed yet contemplative, "For an Anarchic Divergent like you to get this far, it would've filled you with blind confidence."

Davis smirked at her, "You could say that, but blind confidence? That's far from the truth. In fact, I could see my death approaching at every angle I see in the true immortal world."

"…"

Queen Nadija appeared a bit taken aback.

She didn't think he was lying, so... was he not afraid?

'No… it is precisely because he knows that he is looking for escape routes…'

At that moment, Queen Nadija came to know how important Nyoran was to the Emperor of Death. At the same time, Nyoran was also a Divergent, so she knew if she truly wanted Nyoran to prosper, then she must let her go.

"The Starlight Jade Wolf Clan gave you Panqa Jadelight and Lanqua Jadelight. The Golden Crow Clan gave you Shea Goldsun. The Zyrus Family gave you Yilla Zyrus. I don't believe another power wouldn't hesitate to send you a marriage proposal. In fact, I heard that Celestial Fairy Aila Cherryweave had sent you tens of letters~"

However, Nyoran didn't seem to give up the notion as she still tried to find a way to make Davis and Queen Nadija marry.

"Nyoran, the four of them had special circumstances."

Davis wryly smiled, thinking about Fairy Aila Cherryweave, "I'm going to meet the Celestial Fairy after making a visit to you."

"Really?"

"…"

Nyoran appeared excited, causing Davis to be at a loss. It seemed Nyoran wanted to gossip, but he never took her for the type to do that as she was genuine and honest.

Even Queen Nadija appeared interested, making him understand how Nyoran became like this in the short period of time he hadn't seen her.

He was aware that people talked two things about him.

One, he was evil incarnate except somewhat reasonable or not reasonable at all, and the other, he was a skirt chaser. Due to that, he had a silly amount of marriage proposals from the wicked path powers as he fit their description.

The wicked path powers didn't shy away from evil as they did tend to gather their karmic luck by collecting karmic sin, and with Saintess Lunaria's covenant coming to an end with the Candidacy, the wicked path might learn their old ways once again.

Nonetheless, he had no way to block the rumors, so he let them be and let these two crows think whatever they wanted.

Davis raised his brows, appearing solemn, "So, do you want to come with me or not, Nyoran? We don't have much time."

"I will come with you, of course."

"Perfect!" Davis smiled.

"But…" Nyoran pouted, "I also want to be at Queen Nadija's side when she needs me, especially at this time when she is morally forced to obey the clan's whims."

"…"

Davis cast a glance at Queen Nadija, who wryly smiled behind her veil.
