Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2012: Sealing Her

Chapter 2012: Sealing Her

Davis saw Ellia’s expression change. It kept morphing into one that he recognized as deep internal conflict. He could see that he put her into a tough spot as she kept looking at him as though wanting to refuse but didn’t have the courage to say it.

"Ellia, no matter what decision you take, I will not blame you."

Ellia bit her lips as she heard Davis’s gentle voice, not knowing what to do. This was why she said that it was better to kill her as she could not betray the both of them. The end result would be the two killing each other for the treasure. It was bound to be destiny, or so she believed until Davis said that it was not the case, and she couldn’t help but grab that hope.

Two tears silently fell from her eyes before she wiped them off, looking at Davis with a kind of determination.

"To what end do you want me to suppress Myria?"

"Till Myria and I could possibly reach an agreement or after I can suppress her on my own. All I want you to do is disturb her consciousness so as to not to be able to remove the soul seal and possibly stop her from harming my people if she deigns to use other methods. Can you do that?"

Davis’s voice was low as he felt helpless in this case.

He had also considered Evelynn’s Sealing Hex but judging by Evelynn’s prowess, it was more likely that Evelynn would receive a backlash once Myria broke the hex seal. Therefore, no matter how he thought, only Ellia could help him if the end result was to settle for peace.

"Of course, if Myria wants to go her own way, she can, but only after the two of you can separate."

He added, having already come to the conclusion that Ellia would be extremely sad if he were to kill Myria even if they could be separated. Moreover, the fact that Myria knew about Fallen Heaven and said that it ruined the lives of many immortals tossed a grim notice to him.

There was no use killing her for it as many immortals might know of its existence from its havoc, so he could only force an oath from Myria to remain silent about his possession of Fallen Heaven.

"If it’s just those two, then I’ll do everything in my power to stop Myria. However, if you or anyone else tries to harm her, I will do nothing or even help her depending on the situation."

Ellia declared, her eyes fierce while her expression appeared attractive and cute.

Davis was thoroughly gobsmacked by her beauty at this moment that he couldn’t help but extend his other hand, wanting to place his palm on her pale cheek before he suddenly went stiff, recalling what Ellia told him.

"I’m sorry..." Ellia lowered her head as she saw him reveal a disappointed expression, "I’ll make it up to this-"

"It’s fine." Davis cut her short as he waved his hand, "Everything’s fine as long as you’re back. As for finding a way to separate you from her soul, I can start researching once I obtain relevant information and clues but do you have some kind of idea already?"

Ellia hesitated before she raised her hand and pointed towards him.

"Me?" Davis narrowed his brows before he blinked, "That damned treasure?"

Ellia nodded, "Myria said that if he could not find clues to separate ourselves, then we can only depend on that damned treasure, although she herself wasn’t sure."

Davis lowered his head and contemplated upon hearing that piece of information. However, there wasn’t enough information for him to derive anything worthy of attention.

"What do you know about this damned treasure?" Davis had no choice but to address Fallen Heaven as such. For one reason, it could be hated by the immortals for its unpredictability and the other because of karmic burden.

"This... all I know is that causes destruction wherever it goes, and the way it kills is by using Death Laws and Karma Laws. Its users all end up dying one way or another, but it is also said to be capable of re- "Ellia suddenly became silent, trembling with a look of nervousness.

Davis also noticed a vague pressure around them. The more they talked, the more karmic burden was dwelling around them. However, Ellia didn’t easily let up. She was actually braving dangers for him as she opened her mouth again.

"This news was actually released by the master of this world to the... apex immortals in the immortal realms we speak of, so we couldn’t verify the veracity of it but at least since it’s... an apex treasure, we thought we could try using it to separate our souls before getting revenge."

"Alright, say no more."

Davis felt that this was enough as he heard vague rumbling in the skies, making him understand that the heavens were getting angry. Also, he had a vague feeling that it didn’t matter to the heavens if he possessed Fallen Heaven. The heavens possible could not know that he possessed it at the moment, so almost all topics about it could be taken as secrets that couldn’t be spoken about.

Moreover, it seemed that talking about the master of this world also seems to attract a similar level of danger.

Perhaps, the only reason that it hadn’t completely fallen on them is that Ellia didn’t infringe upon those secrets while he already got punished for talking about the master of this world when he hinted at Isabella, thinking about the situation with Soul Empress Merlight. He wondered if that’s why they were now able to somewhat talk about the master of the world without getting inflicted with karmic burden.

Nonetheless, Davis shook his head as he heaved a sigh since he couldn’t obtain any clues to separate Ellia from Myria.

"I don’t know if I will be able to separate you, but don’t worry. Even if Myria chooses to stay quiet, I have you and the knowledge you inherited from her. We can work toget-"

"Impossible. If Myria shuts access to her memories, I won’t be able to know many things."

Ellia shook her head, causing Davis to narrow his brows.

"How does that work?"

"It could be said that I have inherited Myria’s memories, but still, I’m just a new consciousness, a derivative from her reincarnation. Therefore, I must learn those memories from scratch. Of course, I’ve already comprehended much immortal-level knowledge, but higher than that, it’s very difficult to learn. Still, I can keep learning every day since I have access to her memories, and the more powerful our souls grow, the quicker I can learn. But don’t worry, Myria and I are of the same mind in this matter, wanting to separate ourselves, so Myria will definitely help. Let me also convince her."

Ellia seemed eager as she pleaded while Davis nodded as he smiled.

Sure enough, this was not a game where she could quickly comprehend everything that she inherited from Myria. Even he could compile information quickly, but to learn that information was the problem. It takes time and comprehension ability. Moreover, this piece of information also said that Ellia was her own consciousness which made him feel joyous.

The only gripe was Myria’s cooperation. As long as she agreed and stayed her hand, everything would so smoothly, but...

’So it wasn’t only for revenge...’

He couldn’t help but place himself in Myria’s shoes and contemplated.

’No wonder she directed killing intent towards me after realizing that I was in possession of Fallen Heaven. There’s no way she’ll let me have Fallen Heaven as it possesses the possibility of separating them. If it were me, I wouldn’t leave my life in someone’s hands as well...’

Instantly, he felt something strange, enshrouded by a boundless feeling of helplessness and sorrow, knowing that he would have to take an important life away from his loved one.

"...!?"

Davis came out of his reverie, only to find something strange occurring in his soul.

’This... my Heart Intent leaped...’

Davis felt that he was at the threshold of entering Level Two Intent at this moment, unable to believe that it just happened like that.

A second later, he couldn’t help but silently laugh. It seemed that sympathizing with people was truly a way to increase Heart Intent. However, he didn’t want to sympathize with strangers at all as there was a true family for him to care about, waiting for him. Even if he could feel Myria’s sadness, he didn’t want to do anything about it.

No wonder people with Heart Intent were also said to be devils in a few records. A majority of them were saints, but a minority of them were also devils. Was he a saint or a devil? He felt that he was slightly inclined towards the latter.

Nonetheless, since his Heart Intent increased, that meant what he felt about Myria should be bound or closer to the ultimate truth. Moreover, she was a greater existence, possessing a unique physique and whatnot, so his progress in Heart Intent was instantly at the ceiling, only a step away from breaking through to Level Two Intent!

Davis grinned ever so slightly before he spoke, "Alright, I’ll imbue the soul seal now. Don’t resist."

"I can’t. I will instinctively resist."

Davis simply nodded to Ellia’s words and cast a seal using light energy. It wasn’t that he wasn’t willing to use other energies, but this kind of spirit formation required only light energy while using other kinds of energy will result in a mutation of unknown nature or, rather, resulting in a complete collapse.

Soon enough, a spirit formation was floating in front of their soul essence, sealing their Soul Forging Cultivation. Their soul force that was slowly recovering also came to a stop at five percent. Even if she overpowers the seal, this kind of energy could only help Myria wreak havoc for a few seconds before she faints again.

It was almost foolproof unless Myria decided to go crazy, at which point, he could only care less about Ellia’s feelings and do the inevitable.
