Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4618: The Whims Of A Divine Exalt

However, the Deity soon calmed and leaned back, his elbow on the armrest and his chin pressed against his fist. He looked absolutely calm, yet that made everyone within the palace fear for their lives. They all bowed their heads without exception.

”Minsk, your negligence disappoints me. Didn’t you send protectors with your personal disciple?”

”I did. I sent twenty of them, but Almer Spacewill has the Temporal Voidplane Ring. Escaping from them is easy for him...”

The Deity stayed silent as Minsk Virm reported everything without changing any details.

As Minsk Virm finished, the pressure on him considerably receded, allowing him to raise his head and gasp with relief.

”Patriarch, this is my fault. Please allow me to rectify this mistake by lending me command over the Starry Corps. As the strongest Empyrean force we have, they should be able to enter the secret realm’s Shard Continent for a short amount of time and track down the assassin who stole the Temporal Voidplane Ring. We cannot let it disappear, my lord!”

”That’s true.” The Deity answered with a long smile, ”However... It’s your personal disciple who lost it. Recompense is due.”

”I submit to your Will.”

”Good. Offer me a few of your granddaughters. Three would suffice. Their souls shall temper my reflection, and their bodies shall become my clothes. Otherwise, it would be hard for me to forgive your transgression.”

The words dropped like iron chains into Minsk Virm’s chest. His hands clenched, but he dared not raise his head. Those children- blood of his blood- yet before the vastness of the Deity, the Patriarch of the Void Reflection Palace, what were they but space dust?

”As you command, Patriarch.” He banged his head on the ground, his voice unwavering.

The Deity leaned back upon the crystalline throne, space bending in reverence around him. His indistinct smile warped, turning cruel yet casual.

”Good. Then go. Bring me their innocence before the next eclipse, but most importantly, if you fail to reclaim the Temporal Voidplane Ring...”

”I’m well aware, Patriarch.” Minsk Virm stood up and bowed, ”I’ll take my leave now.”

”Go and bring glory to our Void Reflection Palace.”

Minsk Virm nodded firmly and left.

The palace remained silent for some time before the Deity sighed.

”What a disaster... although the Temporal Voidplane Ring belongs to us, the Spacewill Tribe can take it back anytime. They possess the means to do so. However, I doubt they would vilify us for this matter... unless the Temporal Voidplane Ring can grow unlike a failed replica.”

”It’s as you say, Patriarch.” Another man from the side commented.

”Eunuch Venn, check the matter with the Spacewill Tribe and help see Grand Elder Minsk if they can lend the Void Loom Bangle in order to imbue the Starry Corps with its spatial ability to allow them to enter the secret realm.”

”They would not survive for more than a month, my lord.”

”We have no choice.” The Deity smirked, ”Our opponent could be another replica user of some Primeval Law Treasure. Otherwise, it is really difficult to defeat- what’s his name? Right, Almer.”

”It’s exactly as you say, my lord. Now I’ll leave and bring back a suicide squad consisting of the finest members of our Starry Corps.”

”Excellent.”

The Deity nodded and watched Eunuch Venn leave. However, he suddenly reached out his hand and held a scepter.

”Wait.”

The scepter rippled and displayed a purple-robed woman, adorned in a violet robe, kneeling on the ground in front of a temple. Her hair was black, and her skin was soft and fair. Her supple bosoms were big, and the cleavage could be seen rippling as she kept her hands clasped before her bosoms and frantically prayed for her family to be saved.

”What a fine Immortal Queen among my believers. Bring her to my doorstep- no, nurture her into an Empyrean and allow her to save her family. I’ll have her soon since my twentieth billion birthday is coming up.”

”But lord, what about the tribute from the Stellar Beginnings Sect?”

”Send her back. Destroy the Stellar Beginnings Sect for their atrocious insults against me.”

”As you wish, your divine grace.”

Eunuch Venn didn’t ask back questions and nodded gently before leaving.

”...”

Davis gawked as he watched the volcano he sent Almer Spacewill to commit suicide explode. He was watching from a distance in a concealed manner, but he still felt a cold chill shooting across his spine.

The echoes of ’Who dares?’ still reverberated along with the terrifying explosion of the volcano that sent ashes and lava balls everywhere as though threatening to end the world but unfortunately for the Void Reflection Palace, he was far away.

Nadia was also speechless, not expecting an Exalt-level explosion to occur here. She believed it was only possible for resources or danger zones that didn’t have any spirits. Was it not the case?

How come someone was able to use Exalt Stage energy here?

If she weren’t a Deathhowl Revenant Howl, she would be scared and confused.

Nonetheless, the two of them calmed and chuckled at each other.

Nadia knew her master had done something to screw over an expert like that, even without knowing what happened. She jumped over to his shoulder in her tiny form and snuggled against his neck.

Davis grinned. He had totally fabricated Almer Spacewill’s memories. Other than a few instances, the fact that the lovers had dual cultivation, Almer Spacewill being cucked and dejected, attacked by supreme geniuses, and had the ring stolen before committing suicide out of his own choice, was all lies.

He didn’t think they would buy it, but it was enough if he wasn’t implicated for a fair amount of time.

He caressed her soft fur, ”Don’t tell this to anyone. For now, the less people know, the better.”

”Okay~” Nadia agreed.

She wouldn’t say anything unless someone asked.

Suddenly, Davis’s lips twitched as he remembered the three poor souls whom he stripped from their bodies in an attempt to save them.

Even if he had done nothing, they would still be fine within the Temporal Voidplane Ring. He could take out anyone he wanted, which made him feel awkward.

Regardless, hiding this matter was a priority.

Fortunately, he had thrown them into an illusion, and they had yet to come out of it. He doubted they could come out of it. Not only were they in a state of panic, but their souls were practically vulnerable. There was no way he would fail to put them in an illusion. Otherwise, he felt like he should train Illusion Laws from the beginning.

He looked into his life ring and saw them hovering above the ground while appearing dazed.

They really had no idea that they were in an illusion and enjoyed life as though they were on a vacation in some beautiful landscape.

Davis wondered if he should bring them out and let them go or kill them. After all, they were witnesses. He didn’t want to offend a major power like the Void Reflection Palace that had dozens of Exalt Stage experts. He wanted to keep it quiet as much as possible before hell breaks loose.

After all, he learned where the entrance to the True Void Galaxy was, and he could possibly enter that galaxy with his family. However, considering that they possessed the Space-Time Quintessence Ring and its replicas, he really didn’t want to go there. They could totally find Stella’s mini-realm. Therefore, it was only an option.
