Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4176  A Small Game

”No.”

Fairy Runalise flatly refused without a hint of hesitation. Her gaze became even more condescending.

”Haha.” Davis chuckled, ”Donʼt be like that. Do you see this coin?”

He displayed the coin which had the face of a handsome man with a rather peculiar smirk. It appeared more funny than solemn or full of dignity.

”It has the history of my Loret Family behind it. Although I now have established the Davis Family, it is hard to forget oneʼs roots. This one here has the face of my ancestor I have never seen and one of its purple coins. By the way, a purple coin is like the highest mortal currency, but this one is special. It is specially minted and harder to obtain. It is more like a limited item. I thought there would be some use for it when I was a child, but I couldnʼt find any, so I guessed it would be if it could at least determine the fate of a high and above Heavenʼs Warrior.”

”So- what do you say? Would you be willing to play this game?” Davis asked again.

”…”

This time, Fairy Runalise remained silent. It seemed like she didnʼt want to communicate anymore as she lowered her head.

But after ten whole seconds, she finally raised her head, her white eyes flashing.

”I donʼt wish to leave upon winning. Instead, you must kill me with your own hands.”

”Oh?” Davis raised his brows.

Myria and the others also looked astonished by her desire. Many would wish to leave and survive, but she was determined to fulfill her mission.

”You wish to invoke the Covenant? Thatʼs fine with me.”

Davis chuckled before he shook his head, ”However, we canʼt just play a game with a big stake in the first round. Whereʼs the fun in that?”

Fairy Runalise harrumphed lightly, ”I donʼt need to have fun when playing with an Anarchic Divergent like you. Letʼs just get it over with.”

”Are you afraid that you would lose in an instant?” Davis smirked.

”I could say the same thing to you.”

”Yes, Iʼm afraid.” Davis went stiff before he looked as though he suddenly realized, ”Wait a minute. Are you afraid that I will ask you something intimate at every turn?”

”Such silly provocations.” Fairy Runaliseʼs lips curled in derision, ”It is obvious that Iʼm not playing any intimate games with you.”

Davis looked away with disgust and waved his hand at her, ”You stink of the heavens. I donʼt want you.”

”As it should be. An unholy union would never come to be.”

Fairy Runalise grinned, but for some reason, she gnashed her teeth as though holding something back. Nevertheless, her focus was on ending him. It didnʼt matter if she played one game or many games as long as she could end him. That alone wouldʼve rectified all the dishonor she experienced here.

”Alright, letʼs start. What is your first request, anything other than wanting me to kill you?”

”…”

Fairy Runaliseʼs expression remained cold. She glared at him but seemed to be thinking of something before she finally opened her mouth.

”Release senior Yubin without harming him in any way.”

”This guy?”

Davis turned to look at the owner of the Prime Titan Body Physique, who was still unconscious. His soul wasnʼt as strong as Fairy Runalise for him to wake up, but he had given him sedatives anyway. He wouldnʼt be waking up for a few days, at the very least.

”Indeed. If you refuse, I wonʼt play your games.”

Davis frowned, ”Youʼre putting me in a spot. I only promised your release and not his, but itʼs fine. I can promise not to harm him and release him in ten years when my Covenant ends or sooner, whichever is easier for me. If youʼre not fine with it, then letʼs stop. Iʼm too busy to be playing with you anyway.”

”Then leave.”

Fairy Runalise scoffed.

As if a lowly Anarchic Divergent like him was busy other than causing calamities. As if a womanizer like him was busy other than fucking around. Who was he kidding?

”Alright. Your death dates will soon be announced. A public execution after you have been stripped bare would do well for the masses. I must return the dishonor you Heavenʼs Warriors made my sworn brothers go through, after all. It is only fair and just.”

Davis waved goodbye and turned around to leave.

”You dare!?” Fairy Runalise growled.

Myria and the others also followed him outside, and panic finally set in Fairy Runaliseʼs eyes. Her white eyes trembled with fear and rage before she yelled out in a hurry.

”Divine Emperor of Death! You… stop! I will play your game!”

Davis still didnʼt stop.

”Fine, I agree to the change to my request. In ten years, you will let senior Yubin go!”

”…”

Davis stopped, and the others naturally stopped with him.

Myria and Ellia gazed at him, thinking giving hope to someone and taking it away was diabolical.

Davis turned to look at Fairy Runalise, his expression steely, ”Iʼm trying to be merciful and have fun at the same time, but you try to take advantage of me?”

”…!”

Fairy Runalise felt her heart sink. She could only lower her head, not daring to meet his eyes or offer any apologies.

Asking sorry to an Anarchic Divergent? That very thought was blasphemous, let alone doing it.

Davis appeared in front of her.

”Remember, we are requesting each other in this game. Not commanding. If you want to command me, then you should have on our battle and captured me. The next time you want to say you donʼt want to play this game, it will be your last time meeting me until the execution. I hope you understand that.”

His voice was soft but also intensely cold, as though he didnʼt care what happened here.

It made Fairy Runalise realize he was just playing a… game for his fun. Perhaps the goal wasnʼt to humiliate her but just have fun because he was bored?

”I understand.” She uttered coldly.

She still didnʼt match gazes with him. She couldnʼt understand his thought process.

”Really? Thatʼs great.”

Davisʼs voice once again turned cheerful.

”In that case, my first request will be for you to keep quiet about us and not harm us ever again. This includes me and anyone in my huge family.”

”…?” Fairy Runalise raised her head and stared at him, ”What do you mean? As a Heavenʼs Warrior, it is my lifeʼs mission to kill Divergents. Youʼre the one whoʼs going overboard right now.”

”Surely,” Davis scoffed, ”Iʼm not the only Divergent to exist. I heard hundreds were popping up a millennium across the Celestial Transcendent Galaxy. Why donʼt you go hunt them and leave me and my family alone? Iʼm doing you a favor by releasing you after you attacked me. Are Heavenʼs Warriors an ungrateful bunch?”

”Youʼre the ungrateful being!” Fairy Runalise looked pissed as she moved and caused the chains to rattle, ”Your very existence is a sin that goes against the heavens. Who told you to steal heavenly lightning, heavenly flames, and even heavenly wind? There must be other endless secrets and sins that we donʼt know about, but the heavens do. Instead of being a good child, who told you to be ungrateful?”

”…” Davis went speechless, unable to retort.

It was true he stole from the heavens.

”Itʼs not like I stole from your father. Why are you angry? If the heavens want to harm me, then it must pay a price. If you want to harm me, then you must pay a price. If anyone wants to harm me, then they must pay a price, whether it be their life or their valuables. Itʼs common sense for the instigator to suffer consequences.”

”You-” Fairy Runalise looked stumped. Eventually, she looked away.

”I donʼt want to argue. Letʼs just play the game. I accept your request.” Her voice was filled with reluctance, seemingly having no other choice.

”Alright.” Davis took out the purple coin again.

”It better be just a coin toss. If you cheat, I retain the right to deny or change the request.”

”Sure.” Davis chuckled, ”Name your choice when the coin reaches the highest point.”

”…”

It made Fairy Runalise a bit taken aback. She couldnʼt help but wonder just what this evil incarnate was planning again.

There was no way it could just be a game. Regardless, she decided to save senior Yubin first. At least, that should save some grace for her miserable defeat.

*Ting~*

Davis flipped the purple coin using his thumb finger. The coin flew above as it spun.

”Heads~” Fairy Runalise uttered with her eyes wide.

The coin almost hit the ceiling before it came plunging down. It later crashed on the floor bed and instantly stilled without any shaking whatsoever.

A big smile appeared on Fairy Runaliseʼs face.

”Itʼs headʼs~”

”…”

Davisʼs expression was blank, and she couldnʼt help but gloat over the feeling of having a win over the infamous Divine Emperor of Death.

”As promised, you will not harm senior Yubin and let him go in ten yearsʼ time.”

Seeing Davis remain silent, she snickered and reminded him of the promise.
