Chapter 3881 Incredible Escape Technique
""
Davis abruptly came to a stop when hearing Empyrean Miller Skyrend's voice.
The latter's words resounded in his ear like thunder. His pupils that had accepted that there was nothing he could do about Clara shrunk as they dilated, causing his gaze to sharpen, his expression turning cold from dull.
"Hey it's obvious he's trying to trap you." Jaiyan warned.
"Yeah, don't worry." Reval Heremic waved his hand, "I know owners of the Transcendent Truth Eyes Physique are respected beyond compare. The Heaven's Warrior organization would be extremely lenient with her. There's little chances for her to suffer even if she overlooked the actions of an Anarchic Divergent."
"Indeed. Although I don't know for sure, I heard those rulers practically in charge of these organizations." Glacia Frigidveil added.
She looked at him, her brows furrowing as she sensed that he wasn't listening.
"Don't be fooled. Step in. We'll leave."
Karyot had his palms cupped horizontally, the inner s.p.a.ce between the palms superimposing with the outside s.p.a.ce. The spatial energy gathering within his palms directly superimposed the surroundings, allowing them to seep through the spatial layers and ultimately get thrown far away without meeting major spatial resistance.
It was an escape technique he developed with the help of his Warping Gust Wing Physique. The spatial bubble around them gained elusive wings, allowing him to seep through the spatial layer and appear wherever he wanted.
Davis stared at them, his expression quite cold.
Two seconds later, he sighed.
"You are all right. I don't need to fall for this obvious trap."
He took a step toward them, entering the range of Karyot's escape technique. However, he kept his head lowered.
"This is fine." Glacia Frigidveil's voice was gentle, "You did the right thing. I don't know how close you are to your sister, but the two of you are from different worlds, two people who were never meant to have a proper interaction. Don't be saddened. She will eventually find prosperity within the Heaven's Warrior Organization."
*Ripp!~~*
As soon as Glacia Frigidveil finished her words, the s.p.a.ce around them became covered in purple, and eight violet wings appeared further, causing them to shrink before they warped away.
The moment they went out, Saintess Lunaria sighed lightly.
"Don't worry. I have spoken with your little sister a bit, so I know that she doesn't wish for you to come look for her as she doesn't think of wanting you to suffer or get battered for her. In fact, you will make it easier for her to move around if you allow her to join them. If she cares about your family as you say, she is- no, I have seen her be more caring than an ordinary person, so I know she will secretly protect you from within."
Saintess Lunaria advised before she smiled, "Now that you have saved your friends, you need to cheer up. Your little sister can be seen later. Not only would she have grown stronger, but she would also be in good health, without a doubt."
"That's right." Glacia Frigidveil nodded.
"I didn't expect the great Divine Emperor of Death to wallow in sadness. Haha! Cheer up." Revera Heremic laughed as he floated towards him and patted his shoulder.
"!"
At that moment, his expression changed.
The others also noticed Revera Heremic's reaction. A second later, they could all tell what went on as things became more clearer once the energy around Davis receded.
"You"
Saintess Lunaria's eyes twitched.
She and the others realized that he was a soul body, which meant that the main body was left behind.
When exactly did he fool them? More importantly, how did he manage to fool their senses? It was practically impossible unless-
Saintess Lunaria trembled.
He used that strange black-white stone, which tremendously increased his prowess to conceal his aura. Was that truly the apex treasure then?
She didn't know but opened her mouth.
"Why?"
Davis finally looked up, his expression indifferent.
"I'm thankful that you all helped me save my friends. It went so smoothly I'm beyond speechless but ultimately, I didn't want to leave my little sister behind. If anything happens to her, I would never forgive myself."
""
"In any case, take care of my friends. I hope they can forgive me by the time I meet them again."
Davis's soul body began to fade as he looked at them.
But his gaze was seen through his main body.
Davis overlooked the Obsidian Citadel from the skies.
The city was a complete mess. Half the city was in ruins. Everyone was injured and out of energy or in some minor cases, even dead. The death toll didn't cross a hundred but was certainly significant as those who died were Empyreans and Autarchs who posed a significant threat to their escape.
Kisha Blackheart made sure they died first.
It was as Saintess Lunaria said. She was dangerous, and when she decided to kill, she didn't pull back her thorns.
Nonetheless, he waved his hand, trying to see karmic threads again.
It was still useless. There was no sign of Clara.
He had tried using karmic threads using his own Karma Laws before. It was not as refined as Fallen Heaven's and sees less. However, he was unable to find Clara, allowing him to understand that she was in some kind of karmic void zone, similar to how Tia could erect a karmic void zone with her physique.
There should be a few Mystic Diviners among the many that were here capable of a similar thing.
His prowess wasn't strong enough to locate her, and neither was the black-white stone capable of exuding karmic energy. However, that didn't mean he quickly gave up. His heart churned, looking to use Fallen Heaven as he knew it could easily search for Clara.
However, Fallen Heaven's power was extremely circ.u.mstantial in the sense that it altered the course of fate depending on the moment it was used. The context was also very important. At this risky moment, if he were to check where Clara was, it would undoubtedly punch a big hole in the bubble of fate because it gave him a new set of options to act on, causing unexpected things to happen.
Although the impact of karmic thread tracing had always been less, it was still a direct usage of Fallen Heaven's powers, unlike going through him or an item. It was all the more dangerous when his own cultivation base was quite less compared to the karmic void zone she was probably in, its grade probably at the High-Level Empyrean Grade at the very least.
He couldn't bring himself to jeopardize everyone who was here to help him.
They owed him nothing.
Eventually, he convinced himself that no matter what he did, his little sister didn't belong with him. She had been born a Heaven's Warrior, someone who was fated to oppose him. Even if he was fine with it and did many things to soothe their relations.h.i.+p, all he did was increase her suffering.
He had seen Clara being treated like an empress by a genius Heaven's Warrior who was one full stage above her. There wasn't any deception in that as far as he he could see and that alone told him that her world wasn't with him but with the other Heaven's Warriors.
She would have many more opportunities with Heaven's Warriors organizations to grow, so he killed his heart, thinking it was better to leave her with them.
The Frostcloud Sword Empress also consoled him with the same reasoning.
However, Empyrean Miller Skyrend just had to say something like that, which crossed his bottom line.
Davis flew.
By the time he reached the core region, the illusion left by Laphria Rinmei finally came to an end.
It allowed the Heaven's Warriors and realm officials to finally catch their breath.
Davis was honestly impressed by how powerful and real Laphria Rinmei's illusions were. Even after she left, it took over fifteen seconds for the ma.s.s illusion to run out of energy and fade.
"You didn't escape?"
Empyrean Miller Skyrend took a deep breath. He looked at the Divine Emperor of Death in the skies and saw his figure, but after facing the illusions, he wasn't sure if it was truly the Divine Emperor of Death or an illusion or even someone else.
Davis came out of his reverie, blinking once before he opened his mouth.
"Terrifying, isn't it?"
"What is?" Empyrean Miller Skyrend furrowed his brows.
"The fact that unknown Divergents were a.s.sailing you all together, leaving your bodies battered and Wills in shambles. Otherwise, an honorable Heaven's Warrior like you wouldn't have gone as far as to beg for me to stay using my little sister, a gifted being, master of the Transcendent Truth Eyes, as a bargaining chip, right?"
"!"
Empyrean Miller Skyrend clenched his fists, "I cannot allow you to escape."
"To use such underhanded means to kill me, to use one of your own, do you have any face left? You think you're any better than the so-called evil you're trying to kill?"
""
Empyrean Miller Skyrend's expression was dark as he heard Davis condemn him.
The others were also giving him strange looks.
Even he didn't know why he chose to do that, but the prospect of allowing the Divine Emperor of Death to escape and grow into a powerful enemy who would be far more powerful than these unknown Divergents scared him.
"You managed to successfully drag me here. If you are even the slightest bit honorable, bring my little sister before killing me. I want to talk to her."
Davis demanded, his expression utterly cold.
