Vol 20 Chapter 29: Begging to be Spared

This red caltrop diamond is actually a fake! Chegwin hovered there in midair, his long green robes fluttering. The muscles at the corners of his eyes were twitching. He couldnt help but lower his head to look at the corpse of Brodie amidst the mountain forests. Information which the Fiend Castle guaranteed as being realdefinitely wouldnt be fake. I made my own investigations as well, and the dwellers of the Lotte tribe had proof as well! Thus, the red caltrop diamond definitely was a treasure. Where is the real one, then?

Chegwin had collected quite a bit of intelligence.

Your Lordship, Brodies corpse only had a single divine spark inside it. We investigated earlier. He had more than just a single divine clone. The true red caltrop diamond must have been taken away by his original body. A Seven Star Fiend standing behind Chegwin sent mentally to him.

I know! Chegwins eyes were filled with insidiousness as he let out a cold snort.

Chegwin wasnt a fool. Of course he knew what Brodie had schemed. The Infernal Realm had countless Demigods and Gods; for some of them to use divine sparks to become Highgods was nothing. There were many Deities who wanted to be dazzlingly glorious for a brief instant, even if it meant dying, so long as it was in an explosive manner!

They didnt want to die silent, unknown deaths to bandits or in battles. Deaths of no value.

Indeed, Brodies death had caused the many Seven Star Fiends here to all remember him!

He produced a divine clone and toyed with an entire group of experts. Hmph. He probably did so in order to draw our attention here and keep us here, while his original body took his wife and fled somewhere else. Although Chegwin was enraged, he also deeply embedded the name Brodie into his mind.

Actually, if Brodies divine clone had shattered the interspatial ring, given Chegwins strength, once he calmed down, he probably wouldve still been able to guess at the truth! In addition, the news that Brodie had divine clones could be easily verified by the Lotte tribe. Thus, it would be easy to extrapolate that Brodies original body had taken the red caltrop diamond and fled. If he knew he had to die, would he carry the red caltrop diamond with him and waste it?

Since he wouldnt be able to avoid them, why not intentionally leave behind a ring and use it to mock these experts?

Ive been harmed catastrophically by this Brodie. Chegwin felt bitterness in his heart. He couldnt help but glance at the distant Linley and Bebe. If I really did acquire the red caltrop diamond, then it wouldnt matter if I offended Linley. But I didntgiven Linleys temper, he probably wont let me off easily.

Previously, although Linley and Chegwin had some disputes in the Planar Battlefield, the main players on that stage were Linley and Magnus, with Chegwin and Oman just being supporting characters. Thus, prior to today, Linley didnt feel much of a grudge towards Chegwin, and couldnt be bothered to act mercilessly towards him.

Chegwin understood this as well, which was why when he saw Linley, he didnt flee.

But nowthe situation was different!

I mocked him directly and insulted himwhat is he going to do? Chegwin felt nervous. He wanted to immediately flee, but right now, Linley and Bebe clearly werent paying any attention to him. If he were to immediately flee, he would probably draw Linleys attention and be captured by Linley.

Thus, Chegwin just stood there quietly, hoping Linley wouldnt pay attention to him. He would wait for Linley to leave!

And just like that, Chegwin stealthily kept a watch on the distant Linley and Bebe.

Not just Chegwin; all of the hundred-plus Six and Seven Star Fiends were keeping a watch on Linley as well. They all wanted to knowhow Linley would take his revenge on Chegwin!

Lets go! Linleys words caused Chegwin to feel overjoyed.

Your Lordship, those two are going to leave now. The two Seven Star Fiends were overjoyed as well. They, too, let out relieved sighs.

Boss, were going to leave, just like that? Bebe couldnt help but say.

Ohright. I almost forgot about something. Linley was about to leave, then smile and turned and looked towards the distant Chegwin. Bebe, its good that you reminded me. I mightve forgotten about this, otherwise. Bebe, just now, who was it that said to me, if I have any ability, I can go ahead and try to drive him into chaotic space?

Bebe, hearing this, let out an emotional sigh and explained cooperatively, Boss, who else could it be? Of course it is our fearless, intrepid Mr. Chegwinaside from him, how many others would dare enter chaotic space?

Linley and Bebes question and answer session caused Chegwins distant group of three to have changed looks on their faces.

Flee! Chegwin instantly sent the mental message.

Immediately, there in the skies above the Neville Mountains, Chegwin and the two Seven Star Fiends serving him scattered in every which way at high speed.

Swoosh!

Multiple blurry, dream-like figures flashed about in the skies, and then a single blurred form appeared next to Chegwin. With a bang! sound, Chegwins fleeing body was brought to a halt, then knocked flying backwards. But then, in a flash, the blurred figure once more appeared in front of Chegwin.

Mr. Chegwin, where are you planning to go, and without saying a single word? Linleys face still had that smile on it as he looked at Chegwin.

But Chegwin saw the cold look in Linleys eyes!

How could Linley let Chegwin off, given what Chegwin had just done? If he could let even something like that pass, where would Linleys face go?

For example, Sovereigns might not want to interfere in the matters of Deities, but if a Deity dared to mock a Sovereign or interfere in a Sovereigns important matters, or violate a Sovereigns majesty in some manner, that Sovereign probably wouldnt easily spare the violator either! Linleys status alone, as a supreme being amongst Deities, made it so that he would not allow others to so easily insult him!

Lord Linley. Chegwin forced out a smile. II was muddleheaded for a time.

You arent muddleheaded. Linley shook his head repeatedly. What were you muddleheaded about? You are quite intelligent! Didnt you say so yourself? Even if I drive you into chaotic space, the almighty Sovereign of Light will intervene and rescue you.

Chegwins face turned ugly.

The Chief Sovereign of Light, save him?

That would be because he was holding the red caltrop diamond, supposedly an Overgod talisman. For the sake of a possible Overgod talisman, the Chief Sovereign of Light would intervene and expend tremendous efforts in chaotic space to save him! But if he didnt have the red caltrop diamond, the Chief Sovereign of Light wouldnt necessarily immediately go save him.

What sort of status did a Chief Sovereign have?

Perhaps, one day, when he was in the mood, he might go save Chegwin. But by then, perhaps a hundred million years or a trillion years would have passed.

Lord Linley, you have the exalted status of Paragon. Im not worthy of your anger. Chegwin said hurriedly. I, Chegwin, am willing to offer you, Lord Linley, all my wealth and all my Sovereigns Might. Lord Linley, please spare me this time. Chegwin looked hopefully at Linley.

But Linley only looked back silently at Chegwin.

Chegwins heart clenched.

Wealth? Sovereigns Might? Tell medo I lack for these things? Linley finally said.

Lord Linley, what do you wish me to do? Just tell me! Chegwin said hurriedly.

Chegwin no longer cared about his face. He knew very wellthat he had no divine clones outside, and so once he became trapped in chaotic space, even if the Chief Sovereign of Light went to find him, given how enormous chaotic space was, how would the Chief Sovereign of Light locate him? The amount of effort needed would be very great!

Would the Chief Sovereign of Light roam the endless tides of chaotic space for him?

If he were a Paragon, perhaps the Chief Sovereign might do so despite the exhaustion of it. But Chegwin wasnt yet qualified to make the Chief Sovereign do this for him yet!

If I become trapped in chaotic space, I might be trapped there forever. Nobody would speak to me, and I wouldnt be able to see anyone else. I would just be constantly brought by the tides of chaotic space from one place to another. A life worse than death. Chegwin understood this in his heart.

Lord Linley? Chegwin was currently very obedient, very respectful.

Boss, why waste words with him? Bebe snorted coldly, then glanced at Chegwin. Chegwin. You want to just leave, as though nothing happened? You really are a dreamer! If you, Chegwin, were to offend a Sovereign and even seize something belonging to the Sovereign, can it be that just because you begged for mercy, the Sovereign would spare you? Although my Boss cant compare to Sovereigns, hes not so easily abused either.

Linley smiled, then extended his hand, chopping to the side with it

Riiiiiiip!

It was like cloth being torn apart. A hundred meter long spatial tear suddenly appeared, several meters wide. An astonishingly strong suction power filled the surrounding area.

Linley, the Chief Sovereign wont spare you!!! Chegwin began to bellow as he moved to flee.

Swish. Linley seemed to have teleported as he suddenly appeared and grabbed him by the neck. He tossed Chegwin backwards, casually, as though he were tossing an animal, sending Chegin flying into the spatial rift. Chegwin bellowed with rage, The Chief Sovereign wont spare you!!! His voice continued to echo in the area, but the astonishing spatial rift had already completely vanished.

Linley glanced backwards.

This Chegwinif he didnt have Sovereign artifacts protecting him, I would really want to kill him. Bebe said hatefully. Now that weve driven him into chaotic space, I imagine the Chief Sovereign of Light will eventually go save him.

Clearly, everything Chegwin had done had caused Bebe to be extremely unhappy.

Saving him wont be that easy, unless he has a divine clone in the outside world. Linley glanced at the group of Six and Seven Star Fiends who had stupefied looks on their faces. Then he said, Bebe, theres no point staying here. Lets go back. Oh, lets send those two back first.

Linley and Bebe immediately led the round-faced youth and the grim-looking elder onto their metallic lifeform and left.

In midair, a hundred-plus experts and members of the Lotte tribe sighed in amazement at what they had seen.

How truly powerful. That is what a Highgod Paragon is like! With a casual swipe of the hand, without using any Sovereigns Might, he was able to create such a terrifying spatial tear. When will my material attack be a tenth the strength of Lord Linleys?

Supposedly, that Chegwin is comparable in strength to the 108 Asuras of our Infernal Realm, and would be ranked amongst the more powerful ones. Chegwin alone was more than enough to slaughter all of us, but in front of Lord Linleydid you see that? Chegwin was like an infant; when he was grabbed, he wasnt able to resist at all. With a casual toss, he was thrown into that spatial tear. This Lord Linleyhes too strong!

Earlier, Chegwin was behaving so arrogantly. Haha. Thats what he gets!

He deserved it! He shouldve thought about his own status. For someone like him to offend Lord Linley? Isnt that like delivering a sheep to the mouth of a tiger? He was looking for death.

In the eyes of this group of experts of the Infernal Realm, it was only reasonable for Linley to teach a lesson to and punish Chegwin in such a manner. If Linley hadnt done so, he wouldve actually been questioned by people behind his back.

Linleys group wanted to locate Brodies divine clones whereabouts, but there was no way to do so. The most likely possibility was that Brodie had left through a teleportation array! There was no need for someone to record his name or other information when using the array, and each year, there were many people in the Infernal Realm who, for the purposes of trade or something else, would travel through a teleportation array.

How would they search for him?

In addition, Linley wasnt qualified to search for him, because the soldiers who were in command over and guarded over the teleportation arrays belonged to the Sovereigns.

The Divine Light Plane. The Godsgaol Sea!

Rustle. Countless waves of deep blue seawater lapped forward. As the number one sea of the Divine Light Plane, the Godsgaol Sea was vast and deep. Deep within it, there was dazzling number of islands, scattered like stars in the skies.

In the air above the sea, there were currently two figures battling against each other, causing space to constantly shatter.

Screeeech!

An illusory phantom of an enormous Fire Phoenix that was thousands of meters long had suddenly appeared behind a short red-haired man. And then, the red dot at the center of the mans forehead suddenly lit up, and a red ray of light shot out, instantly piercing through the skies and shooting towards the long-haired, black-robed man in front of him.

The black-robed man let out a growl, and then layers of watery curtains appeared around him.

Clash

The watery curtains were pierced through, and then the red light entered the black-robed mans body. The black-robed mans body trembled, then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Blunner [Buluner], lets just stop it here. The black-robed man said hastily. In terms of speed, he was inferior to the man in front of him. Someone fast could flee from a stronger opponent, but someone slow had no choice but to just take more blows and beg for mercy.

In your dreams. The red-haired man let out an angry snort, the fiery red sickle in his hand chopping down slowly

Riiiiiip. A tear in space formed yet again.

But right at this moment

Whoosh! A green blur suddenly shot out from the spatial tear, and it flew straight towards the red-haired man. The red-haired man was shocked. Something flew out from the spatial tear? Theres something that can survive, undamaged, in chaotic space? The red-haired man couldnt help but reach out to grab it.

A green piece of paper thus appeared in his hands.
