Chapter 3410 Pleading For Mercy
Davis coldly looked down on Xerax, barely able to contain himself from killing him in one move.
There were so many factions that wanted the Emperor of Death dead in order to obtain karmic virtue, but there was no faction more motivated and excited to kill him than the Cyan Soul Rat Clan. Why? Because of this one man before him.
Xerax, a King-Tier Cyan Soul Rat. Without his orders, Davis wouldn't have been targeted much, nor would the ascenders have had to suffer because they soulscoured everyone who ascended. Most vexing was his father could've been caught even if Accursed Warlock wasn't there because the Cyan Soul Rat Clan put so much pressure on the factions of the Central Primesky Alliance to keep defending the Ascendance Monuments.
Everything that had been against him in the First Haven World stemmed from this man.
There was little doubt the Cyan Soul Rat Clan fanned the flames to target him and his family. Even the war the Fire Phoenix Clan waged on the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan had its hand in the shadows. Before his battle with Venerable Warrior Zermatt, there was one Immortal Emperor woman who was shouting like she had reason to kill him righteously, but in truth, she was also implanted by the Cyan Soul Rat Clan to target him, get the forces of the many alliances to kill him.
She had been a Sect Leader from a righteous Immortal Emperor Grade power, although it was not a major power. In fact, she was then killed by the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Ancestors to silence her. Then he was framed that he had killed her in revenge.
He didn't even know of it until now because that news never really exploded. Besides, there were also various crimes framed on his head intentionally by those who had earned his ire, so the common people with not much access to verified information only thought of him as an evil entity even to this day.
There was no turning it around.
The Fire Phoenix Clan may have been outward and let pretenses go after he brought down the heavenly tribulation on them, but the Cyan Soul Rat Clan did everything in their power to turn the public opinion against him.
Once they realized it failed, they directly hid in this mini-realm. They were so smart about it and didn't even hesitate to abandon their Prefecture that Davis felt admiration for them. But if his admiration was ten times, then his wrath was a hundred times higher.
He wished he could eternally torture this man without having to kill him, but when looking at Xerax, he felt like he only needed to crush him into meat paste to avoid looking at his obnoxious face.
"What's wrong? Turn into your kingly magical beast form. We can have a bout as you have always wished..."
Davis's voice was cold.
It caused an undying chill within Xerax's heart as he shuddered under the cold gaze filled with killing intent.
"No- please, wait... I swear I didn't want to fight you, but my greed got ahead of me... I initially used you as a sacrifice to obtain a firm seat in the Cyan Soul Rat Clan. After all, you were only known as... a Divergent at that time... so there was karmic luck to be... gained..."
Xerax's teeth clattered, "If- If I knew you were an Anarchic Divergent, I wouldn't even have gone near you...!"
"Is that supposed to make me spare you?"
Davis inclined his head. His wrathful gaze also receded, replaced with confusion as though he wasn't angered at all. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
However, this frightened Xerax beyond compare as he hurriedly sat up and kowtowed, smashing his head against the dirty surface.
"No! I know I am dead! But I'm a Kingly Beast. I know the Emp- no, the Divine Emperor of Death is magnanimous and will not massacre an entire clan, so all I ask is for my young ones to be spared and my blood to be shared among them. This will ensure that even in death, I can fulfill my duty as a king but also let the Cyan Soul Rat Clan survive my foolish actions. They are not at fault!"
Xerax continuously hit his head on the surface, causing severe dents to appear.
"Success!"
Davis looked excitedly at the spatial formation core he made in an hour. He looked like he had never been so proud of his actions before, causing Xerax's expression to twitch.
He hadn't even moved, knowing that he would be blasted off the face of the earth. In fact, he was waiting to be enslaved as he knew there was no escape.
"Master is extremely talented. It was no wonder a king-slave like me couldn't do anything against you." Xerax lowered his head and praised Davis without appearing to feel any shame whatsoever.
Davis turned to look at him, still smiling.
"Don't feel down. You still have a chance to escape my grasp. Here..."
Davis threw the spatial formation core to the ground. It rolled off towards Xerax, causing him to blink and look dumbfounded.
A trap... was the first thing that came to his mind. He also felt it could be a test to see if he could cross the spatial tunnel safely, which meant that he was a sacrificial lamb for the Divine Emperor of Death to get out.
Xerax didn't dare take it, and seeing the Emperor of Death walk towards him, he hurriedly tried to kowtow, but the other party's soul force, which was like a mountain against his own, made him forcefully sit up.
Davis squatted down and gestured with his face at the spatial vortex.
"You see that? You can use this to make your escape. Don't be so suspicious. Do I look like someone who's going to leave you alive? No, I would do everything within my power to kill you, but you see, you're nothing but a stepping stone for me. I can't get mad at every single one of you, so what I should confirm is the suspicions I have towards heaven and earth."
"..."
Xerax blinked, not knowing where this was going, but the Divine Emperor of Death even put his arm around him like he was a friend.
Davis still gazed at the spatial vortex, his expression solemn, "Fate is a mysterious thing. Since the heavens hate me to death, I have this blaring suspicion that it could turn the workings of fate against me like- letting you escape from this near-death situation."
He turned to look at Xerax, causing the other party's heart to pound.
Xerax turned to look at the spatial vortex, his heart filled with hope. However, he hurriedly reeled himself, shaking his head.
"How can it be? The heavens are fair. They won't allow me to escape because I have manipulated so many."
"Alright, that's enough."
Davis lost his patience and stood up, carrying Xerax by the hair as he dragged him.
"Wait- wait! Fine! I will go by myself!"
"Very good."
Davis smiled, but his smile was one of extreme apathy.
