Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4657: Meeting The Mavigglain Spy

In a valley behind a mountain peak, an azure-golden-haired man stood in front of a rocky wall. He gazed at it for some time as though he was stuck in a dead end. His facial features were sharp and handsome, able to garner the interest of the opposite gender without much effort. But now, anyone who had his eyes on him would subconsciously move away.

Heim Mavigglain waited with a heavy heart.

His heart could not stop beating louder, forming a strange atmosphere within this silence.

Abruptly, a gust of wind blew over, making his stylish hair sway ever so lightly.

Heim Mavigglain froze. He turned to look behind and saw the purple-robed man who had become rather infamous in the past three days. The more no one dared to offend him, the more Heim Mavigglain felt he was not to be trifled with.

“Speak.” Davis’s voice echoed with authority.

Heim Mavigglain submerged all the worries elsewhere and took a deep breath, “I’m well aware you killed Almer Spacewill and took the space-attributed replica. Should you kill or seal me before we come to an agreement, this information will spread, and the galaxies won’t just wait and watch. However, I have a proposal for you. I will not target Fairy Lea or your family despite what my higher-ups say, and you will treat me as though Wella Vertiga doesn’t exist. Let’s just settle this between us like men.”

Once he said what he thought, his nervousness all faded, leaving him with an untold determination.

Davis raised his hand. He displayed his iconic smile as he rubbed his chin with interest, “Why did you assume that I want to kill you?”

“…”

For a moment, Heim Mavigglain was taken aback before his expression churned, “Don’t try to fool me. Just like you killed Almer Spacewill for the space-attribute replica, it’s a given you will also kill me for the five-element attribute replica.”

“Yeah, because the danger I sensed from him was high, and he offended me from the get-go. Moreover, that treasure would be able to seal me. Is your treasure capable of the same? Or could it be that you actually want to die and hand it over to me just like that?” Davis chuckled with amusement.

It wrecked Heim Mavigglain’s pace. His determined Will wavered.

Who actually wanted to fight to the death with the Divine Emperor of Death? He was no Heaven’s Warrior.

Davis looked around, “Let me guess. You should’ve investigated me a lot in the past few days and come to know that I’m truly undying. With no surefire way to kill me, you must’ve set up a lot of traps here using the five-element treasure. It’s truly amazing since I can’t sense them. Then, using the five-element treasure to overpower me and rob this space-attribute treasure, you will proceed to seal me inside it. Then you will happily head over to your Wella and then report your achievements to gain more of her love and favor first before announcing to the world.”

*Clap~* *Clap~* *Clap~*

Davis clapped a few times before he wryly smiled, “I guess it could work. It has a good chance of sealing me and allowing you to clinch victory. Do you want to try starting this battle?”

He reached out his hand, waving, “Where’s the True Soul Contract? Don’t you want to cover the loopholes and make me treat it as though Wella Vertiga doesn’t exist? Or are you just going to take my word for it?”

Heim Mavigglain nearly flinched when he saw the Divine Emperor of Death reaching out his hand. His expression was solemn, and perspiration already drenched his back. Even though he had gathered his determination, it was crumbling now since he felt like his plans had been seen through.

But so what?

Even though his mind screamed, his body seemed to disobey, knowing nothing good might happen if he made a move.

Clenching his fists, Heim Mavigglain opened his mouth, “We could settle this like men, or we could come to an agreement.”

Davis gazed at him before he took back his hand, “What kind of agreement?”

“I saw that you were buying manuals, pill recipes, and other items. Although I can’t guarantee you the quality, I could get a lot of them from my Azure Skyfeather Palace and subordinate powers. Our combined history and knowledge will rival that of all sixteen Upper Realms in the Celestial Transcendent Galaxy. I could even hand you over the Azure Skyfeather Flame Codex, which has both the Divine Exalt and Exalt Grade categories, after I reach the Empyrean Stage. And as long as we continue this exchange, I can even provide you with information from my galaxy and a few other galaxies.”

“Interesting.” Davis couldn’t help but smile, “But still, why should I accept this deal again? It’s not like I’m after your life, but does it compare to the replica you’re holding?”

Heim Mavigglain didn’t seem shaken. He reacted as though this was expected and confidently smiled, “As a form of sincerity, I can tell you a piece of information that will protect you, but most importantly, protect your family from harm. I know you will accept this because we’re the same person, a man who couldn’t sever their love.”

“…”

Davis blinked. He looked at Heim Mavigglain with a renewed gaze since he could think and not just throw a fist. After a few seconds, Davis nodded.

“Certainly. Everyone knows my reverse scales are my women. It’s not a secret, but would anyone dare touch them?”

“Nope.” Heim Mavigglain wryly laughed, “No supreme genius would dare, but this is different.”

“Hmm… interesting. Alright, go ahead. If this information is useful, I’ll agree to a ceasefire and have a trade relationship.”

Heim Mavigglain inwardly heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn’t drop his guard.

“I know you will probably survive, but there’s a high chance you or your family will be hunted down by the Void Reflection Palace’s Starry Corps. They’re the strongest Empyrean force they have, and by using the Void Loom Bangle, another replica, they will be able to enter the secret realm to kill you and retrieve their treasure.”

“Starry Corps…” Davis narrowed his eyes.

He knew such a powerful group existed within the Void Reflection Palace, but he didn’t have any idea about the Void Loom Bangle. He also had his Heart Intent in full force, so he didn’t think Heim Mavigglain was lying.

“Why didn’t they use the Void Loom Bangle from the beginning if they could send personnel inside this way?” He asked since it didn’t sound right.

Heim Mavigglain’s lips curled, “That’s because the Void Loom Bangle isn’t all that overpowered. It has an ability called Spatial Infiltration, which is quite limited. My Azure Skyfeather Palace and the Mavigglain Clan had suffered defeat many times because of it.”

He stopped, no longer saying anything more.

Davis nodded, understanding that he had to form a True Soul Contract with the other party in order to know more.

He thought for a moment before saying, “I’ll agree to the ceasefire, but you will have to add on the abilities of your replica and the Void Loom Bangle. You can try to hide something, in which case, I will have the right to probe you further. This is for my family’s safety. I cannot let someone who previously tried to target my Lea run around, after all.”

He chuckled before adding, “As a form of sincerity, I also have something to warn you about.”

“…?” Heim Mavigglain frowned.

He thought for a few seconds about the conditions before he nodded, “Let’s sign a True Soul Contract.”

“Did you make it yourself?”

“No, we unearthed it from an inheritance.”

“Right…” Davis nearly rolled his eyes. It seemed like every supreme genius had some luck with inheritances except him and his family members. Perhaps it was because they weren’t fated. Regardless, he didn’t want most inheritances since they also came with risks and obligations. To fulfill their obligations, Evelynn, Isabella, and Shirley even went through the dangerous Candidacy.

He had been sitting on the edge the entire time back then.
