Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4752  Building A Legacy?

"Heh~" Fairy Thunderblaze coldly mocked, "I succeeded in controlling him, which means I won."

Lady Thunderwraith bellowed, "You seduced him when he was vulnerable and trying to help you!"

A hint of shame enveloped Fairy Thunderblaze's face, "It doesn't matter since I wasn't targeting his life. Don't you know the saying, 'All is fair in love and war'? I obtained him, so he now belongs to me until it doesn't, but by that time, I will have firmly entombed myself in his heart. Even if he wants to kill me, he needs to kill his heart. If he can do that, then I think I've succeeded in creating a man who won't fail. The subsequent women who will love him will all fear him, never betraying him."

She grinned, her voice exuding a hint of obsession and unbridled passion, "If I can create such an Emperor, aid in building his legacy by his side, and make sure that it can never collapse internally, then I can die in peace."

"…" Lady Thunderwraith looked at her coldly, having no words to respond.

She saw this woman as crazy! Crazy in love so much so that she cares little for her life, and ruthless enough to only care for legacy. She had seen such people.

Still, she had seen Davis battling the Realm Calamity and knew he could more or less break this charm if he entered the Empyrean Stage before Fairy Thunderblaze could enter the Empyrean Stage. She guessed all was not lost and there was time to save him.

'If I aided him in breaking free, I would be treated well…' Lady Thunderwraith thought and began plotting.

"Alright, we shall leave now." Davis came back with a jade container in his arm, clueless as to what these two exchanged, but he knew soul transmissions bounced between them.

He carefully pulled the jade container between his arm and waist and raised his other hand.

"My apologies, Lady Thunderwraith. Even if Cloud Elder Zaratu doesn't take you as a ghost slave after barring my path, you will probably be killed by those existences simply to teach me a lesson if you remain outside. Do you want to enter? It's safe inside."

"No, I…" Lady Thunderwraith perspired spectral misty smoke as she gazed at the Temporal Voidplane Ring that shone.

"You have my word that I will release you once we're safe." Davis activated the Temporal Voidplane Ring.

The Spatial Dome expanded lightly, covering Lady Thunderwraith and sealing her inside the ring.

Fairy Thunderblaze nodded approvingly, "You need to be ruthless like this, my Emperor."

"Ah, my Empress, you also need to get in. Or else…" Davis sounded apologetic.

"I know." Fairy Thunderblaze looked reluctant. She could also vaguely guess the marks were dependent on her cultivation, so if she died, the marks on Davis might disappear. Still, even if it wasn't true, she didn't think she could survive without the mark.

The only thing that could scare and stop those existences would be the marks of the Supremes.

And she had agreed to give it to Davis.

'Mmph, if it weren't for this extreme danger looming over us, I would've already taken another step to conceive his child, but with those entities roaming around, I dare not place my child in danger… besides…'

Taking a deep breath, she replied, "This may be the last time we meet. If you are going to die or get sealed, remember to send a ray of energy to kill me before you die."

Davis's gaze shook, "You can't speak like that. Besides, time is frozen inside. I can't send energy that will move to kill you."

"Is that so…?"

Fairy Thunderblaze lowered her gaze and contemplated, "Do you have a potent poison pill?"

"I do have… it was made by Evelynn here and can take out High-Level Empyreans quickly as long as they don't defend against it."

Davis took out a poison pill but didn't hand it over as he took it back, "Don't tell me…"

Fairy Thunderblaze smiled sweetly, "I have concocted a more potent one."

She then brought her ring over her face and quickly swallowed a pill of unknown origins.

"You-!"

"Quick, take me inside. Once you're in a safe place, you can bring me outside and cure me. Remember, you cannot meet with Evelynn before you release me…!"

Fairy Thunderblaze pleaded as she took a few steps back while he tried to make her spit the pill out.

"Zenova! Why would you do this!?" Davis roared, appearing angered and aggrieved.

"…" Fairy Thunderblaze's expression churned with pain.

"My dignity and chastity belong to you. I will never… never be captured by someone else…" She weakly said as she clutched her abdomen with her hands, blood already starting to drip from her lips.

"…"

Davis went silent as he stared at her with intense emotions.

"Do it…" Fairy Thunderblaze trembled.

With a silent flick of his finger, Fairy Thunderblaze disappeared.

The wind near the entrance of the abode stopped blowing, giving an eerie silence to the atmosphere. His aggrieved expression slowly returned to normal, but his brows didn't stop frowning, and then a hint of sorrow flashed past his eyes.

"Why are you ruthless to yourself too…?"

He couldn't help but recall her vehemently not entering the Temporal Voidplane Ring when her life was in danger when they encountered a tentacle-like Realm Calamity while flying on the Eternal Eclipse Bird.

At that time, she didn't let herself be captured by him.

But this time, she didn't even hesitate to enter, much less poison herself. The image he had of Fairy Thunderblaze was constantly getting torn and replaced with a new look of a good yet ruthless wife who would do anything for her husband.

'Is it because she's convinced I'll release her because I'm charmed, or is she…?'

Davis could naturally guess her next steps would be to get him to fall in love with her for real. However, would someone go this far? Didn't she consider that he could easily come out of this charm after he met Rioxys Plume and got her help? The latter was a mysterious Celestial Spirit who possessed divination abilities, so she must also be well-versed in abilities that deal with karma.

As long as Rioxys Plume broke the technique that strengthened the hold because of the huge karmic debt, then he would naturally come out of the charm since it wouldn't be able to ensnare him any longer.

'Perhaps she's betting on me not being able to meet Rioxys Plume. Moreover, she might also have the antidote…' Davis thought to himself and nodded.

He released a long breath and pursed his lips, smiling wryly.

He originally thought he could play and bully her to get her inside the ring, but she had entered without giving trouble.

But beyond all, while acting, he couldn't tell how much of his own emotions were true and how much of them were false. While he intended to punish her severely after getting out, it seems like he must guard his own emotions against her new antics as well.

Davis heaved a sigh again and rushed off.

The abode disappeared, and the plant lifeform's leaves drooped in sorrow.

Sometime later, Davis appeared at the foot of the fountain from the northern side.

He raised his gaze and looked at the massive clouds enveloping the peak.

'Time to leave the Shard Continent…'
