Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2101: Unquenched Malice

Chapter 2101: Unquenched Malice

She raised her head, looking at the bright skies before returning her gaze.

Its obvious that Evelyn was possessed during the trial. That Emperor-Tier Immortal Magical Beast shouldve used the bestowal of blood essence, slipping in a bit of its soul essence to enter her. However, Evelynn shouldve noticed in that case or even become suspicious, but since she didnt, I assume that it used its blood inside her to perform a revival using Hex Laws.

What?

Daviss brows heavily frowned. Revival using Hex Laws?

Ah, rather than a revival, I should have said takeover or possession. Perhaps, its similar to the Immortal Descent Technique, which is commonly used by most powers in the immortal world to protect their young experts in case of danger.

However, it is a way more advanced version of it, and the way Hex Laws works is different, and since its a branch of karmic descent, it stems from the blood and soul. In other words, its quite possible that the Emperor-Tier Immortal Magical Beast used its own blood and soul to perform a reincarnation into this world by exploiting the body of the host, taking on the hosts soul characteristic, but since it decided to sneak that way, it took some time for it to revive.

You knew about such a technique the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Clan was capable of and didnt tell me?

Daviss voice was feeble, and even though Myria could feel the anger in it, she shook her head.

I dont know about such a thing. However, it might be a technique exclusive to the Emperor-Tier Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid. After all, a few powerful techniques are only capable of being learned by King-Tier and Emperor-Tier Magical Beasts. An Emperor-Tier Phoenix is said to be capable of reviving nine times, but in reality, Ive never seen one in my short lifetime.

Myria shrugged, causing Evelynn to be astonished, and although Davis was also astonished, his expression was still somber.

So, in reality, it shouldve been only a few days since the Emperor-Tier Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid managed to revive itself in Evelynn. Myria continued, Perhaps, we instantly caught it the same day it woke up, and thats why it was so weak, unable to destroy Evelynns consciousness, not that it seemed like it wanted to destroy Evelynns consciousness as it was extremely careful, trying to stay clear of Evelynns senses while instigating internal struggles to make you fall. Likely, it realized that it couldnt kill the both of us and wanted us to fight amongst ourselves.

Daviss expression was full of rage, while Evelynn lowered her head in sorrow. She thought the Emperor-Tier Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid was noble and magnanimous but to think that it was capable of such deceptions. She inwardly blamed herself for not being able to see through its acting, even though she was initially suspicious because of her experience with Misteltae.

Apparently, being noble was not synonymous with being virtuous and righteous. She thought at least the Emperor-Tier Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid could prove to be different, but again, she was disappointed.

I dont understand. Davis grumbled, Isnt it dead? Its not a phoenix to perform a nirvanic rebirth either, so how?

He wanted to enter the Poison Rift Valley and kill it, no, torture it for millions of years to come for what it tried to do against Evelynn. He knew how it broke Evelynns trust as she told him that it was a virtuous and righteous arachnid, so it was all the more frustrating for him.

True. Thats why its actions also bewilder me.

Myria placed a hand on her chin as she raised her head to the skies again, looking deeply contemplative. To her knowledge, revival in the body of others was the domain of Karma Laws and Hex Laws, while reincarnation was the domain of fusion of Life and Death Laws. So what business does a dead Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid has with this world, trying to reincarnate itself using its special technique that only an Emperor-Tier Immortal Magical Beast like it could use?

Even if it took over Evelynns body, it could not live for long as the heavenly tribulation would blast it into pieces.

Immortal reincarnators were heavily suppressed. Because of this, she knew that her tribulation should also be extremely powerful enough to cause her to die. However, the Emperor-Tier Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid wasnt even trying to reincarnate but revive itself into a dead-end, its objective unknown.

It should know that it could not survive the heavenly tribulation.

However, if its objective is to do something else other than to revive and thrive, then...

Myrias brows narrowed. The more she thought about the Emperor-Tier Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnids strange actions, the more she frowned.

Whats wrong? Davis noticed her deep frown.

No, this is merely a hypothesis of mine, but the one who has performed this Hex Descent may not have been the Emperor-Tier Immortal Magical Beast, but its from the same blood and soul.

...

Davis became confused, wondering what she was saying before he stared at her, blinking. However, she shook her head, causing him to rethink once again.

If it were not another incarnation, then...

Daviss eyes brightened, Heart demon?

Thats right. Myria satisfactorily nodded, A heart demon that has won causes a will to split, and since the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Clan was hunted down, this kind of phenomenon occasionally happened back then, or so I heard. Apparently, it was due to the strong malice in their blood that easily paved a path to their split personality. Their thirst for aggression and vengeance knew no bounds once their other personality stemming from the heart demon took over. Perhaps, this was also one of the reasons why the other powers decided to hunt them down. They were terrifying yet unstable, possessing a major threat to the denizens of the immortal world.

Myria then explained how powerful the heavenly tribulation for an immortal reincarnator would be, especially for an Emperor-Tier Immortal Magical Beast, before she concluded.

Thinking like this, that Emperor-Tier Immortal Magical Beast shouldve failed to stop its heart demon from forming because it failed to save its Clan, as Evelynn mentioned before. If the heart demons sole objective is to cause destruction, then its possession over Evelynn makes sense.

Evelynns heart leaped, Then... does that mean that the soul, the Hex Arachnid Empress who conversed with me, isnt the one who possessed me?

It could be. After all, Im merely assuming with the bits and pieces of information I have in mind. We wouldnt know unless we met it and rechecked its soul.

Myria shrugged, causing Evelynn to appear complex.

No matter the reason, Im going to confront it.

Davis shot a look at Myria, his eyes indicating that it managed to know about the damned treasure so it couldnt be left alive.

However, Myria surprisingly shook her head.

No need. It shouldnt be able to go anywhere as all of them are sealed, and using such an advanced technique to break that restriction shouldve had its own backlash. That Emperor-Tier Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid should be unable to do anything for a thousand years at the very least, and considering that its not even alive to restore its exhausted soul essence, it should not be even able to use that technique any more.

Davis still looked unconvinced, causing Myria to let out a sigh.

Besides, were still weak to face an immortal soul, especially an Emperor-Tier immortal soul. You would be courting death to go there and encounter a hostile situation, She then unceremoniously gazed at Evelynn.

If the character who talked to you was the one who cast this technique, deceiving you, then you should never enter that immortal inheritance again. Its better that you forget it until you become a strong immortal yourself. Then, it should be possible for you to plunder from it.

But, immortals are not allowed here, forced to ascend... right? Evelynn bit her lips.

Then its better that you completely forget it or try to enter this world in the future like that bastard above.

Myria nonchalantly pointed at the Calamity Light, causing Evelynn to blink.

Well, if you still want to head there, Ill be taking it as you wish.

Myria shot a menacing look at Davis before turning around and leaving, heading back to the Golden Palace.

Wait!

However, Daviss voice resounded, causing her to stop a hundred meters away.

Thank you!

Davis bowed his head, feeling grateful but also more than useless.

Even when he used his Death God Eyes, he couldnt see that there was another entity in Evelynn and so naturally couldnt see its name. Perhaps, this was due to Fallen Heaven suppressing itself. Therefore, if he used its powers on the arachnid soul strand, theres a high chance Evelynn wouldve also died.

The Hex Descent made it so that it was intrinsically connected to Evelynns blood and soul. Thats why he also didnt make a move and chose to trust Ellia and gamble with Myria on saving Evelynns life.

If it werent for Myria using reincarnation energy so skillfully to extract that wicked strand from Evelynn, perhaps, he wouldve truly lost Evelynn today. Consequently, the debt he felt towards Myria was truly heavy, making him feel extreme gratitude towards her.

Myria gave him a side-eye before continuing on, saying nothing to his formality. It was unknown what she was thinking.

Davis raised his hand and looked at Evelynn, his gaze roaming her voluptuous body before his lips moved.

Are you truly fine?

I am. It wont happen ever again. I swear I wont go there without your permission. Evelynn quickly put his worries in check, causing him to smile.

Then you take care. I was once again forced to realize that the power I have is nothing compared to the people in the realm above us, so Ill go cultivate as I told you before but harder.

So that wasnt a lie~ Evelynn giggled, reaching out her hand to tidy his robe.

Dont worry about being possessed. Its near impossible to notice such a secretive technique. Were fortunate that we had Myria with us.

That goes to say that the decisions you make are the best. Isnt she now a dependable ally?

Evelynn deeply smiled, raising her brows in a teasing manner.

For now, I guess.

Yes, for now...

Evelynns teasing smile didnt disappear, causing Davis to chuckle before he petted her head and left. She watched him disappear into the horizon like the last time before she turned to look at Davis again.

What? Are you not leaving too? She asked his Solitary Soul Avatar.

Haha, just confirming if youre going to repeat something weird.

Ah! Even if Im the possessor, I will not fall for this trick once again!

Davis awkwardly smiled, causing Evelynn to pout embarrassedly because she was still ashamed about being possessed without her even coming to sense a hint of it. They then left together, heading back to set up the Mortal Hex Emperor Purple Palace.

Later that day, Myria slept from headaches because Ellia wouldnt stop praising her efforts to save them. It only made her wonder what she was doing when it would be perfect for her goals if Davis just died in some random corner.
