Divine Emperor of Death

"Why should I let you leave when you one-sidedly tried to attack the Ghostly Crow Clan?"

Davis scoffed, "Do you hear yourself?"

"…"

Kronos Alistair raised his hands, dispersing the temporal energy behind him.

"If you insist, then I can only try again."

"…"

Davis narrowed his brows as he waved his hand, "Don't interfere."

The Immortal Emperors behind Kronos Alistair, who were seemingly about to make their move, stayed their hands. However, they possessed disgruntled expressions.

Why were they being protected by an Anarchic Divergent? Wouldn't this lead to bad karma?

If they wanted such karma, wouldn't they have joined the Central Primesky Alliance?

But at this moment, they also received word from Queen Nadija to not interfere, making them get some distance.

"Come with me."

Davis cast a cold glance at Kronos Alistair before he flew forward, moving past Kronos Alistair.

"…"

Kronos Alistair looked confused.

Where was he being taken now? Could it be that the Divine Emperor of Death wanted to avoid casualties here?

Did that even matter, considering he was going to get killed and sent back in time again?

However, he kept quiet and followed, thinking about what to ask as information was the sole thing that would allow him to change his fate.

He left the city, and they eventually arrived at a mountain peak where the Divine Emperor of Death summoned a table and sat, gesturing for him to sit.

"Let's talk for a bit, and then, you can take your leave in the two ways you think you could."

"…"

Kronos Alistair stared at Davis, wondering how much this person could tell that he was capable of going back in time. He considered for a few seconds before he moved and sat on the chair opposite the Divine Emperor of Death.

"What do you want to know?"

"Let's not feign ignorance, shall we?" Davis started with an overlooking expression, "We're both Divergents who want to survive and we have many secrets we like to hide to ensure our survival. Let me know what happened in the last two encounters and perhaps this time, something may change or we'll continue to do this for tens or even hundreds of times until you can no longer survive."

"…"

Kronos Alistair's gaze didn't stop trembling.

*Bang!~*

He stood up and slammed the table, glaring at Davis, "How are you able to tell when no one could!!!?"

"…"

Davis pursed his lips at Kronos Alistair's outburst. He looked like he was mad, but there was also a sense of vindication in his face as he appeared moved.

'Well, I have Fallen Heaven to thank for that…'

Davis thought before opening his mouth, "As I said, we have our secrets, but clearly, I have the leverage here since it is possible I forced you to restart your life two times."

"…"

Kronos Alistair trembled, forcefully seating himself down on the chair. He had never felt cornered this much in his life, making him feel disbelief as to how a monster like this could exist.

He was also now an Anarchic Divergent, for heaven's sake, but how could the other party be so strong…?

However, just because his anarchic nature increased didn't mean his prowess increased. That wasn't how his physique worked, so if he couldn't increase his prowess before facing his Empyrean Tribulation, then he would be toast, and if he kept dying, then the increased difficulty of his tribulation would be tantamount to suicide.

Therefore, he was now locked up in a corner where he must use his wisdom to escape!

"In the first encounter, we…" Kronos Alistair began to explain.

Becoming calm, he understood a few things, like how the Divine Emperor of Death was asking for information about the two encounters.

This meant that the Divine Emperor of Death could somehow tell that there were two anomalies in the temporal field of this world but didn't know of the content other than the fact that he was killed two times.

"… that's all. I'm now trying to avoid confrontation that ends in my life being severed right now."

"You're too honest, aren't you?"

Davis relaxed on the chair with his leg placed over another,

His expression was quite unamused because he found that Kronos Alistair was not lying even if he used the full extent of his Enigmatic Heart Laws.

"You won't remember what I told you if you kill me anyway."

Kronos Alistair shrugged as he didn't care. If he was killed, then he would go back in time and still have the advantage since the Divine Emperor of Death would know nothing about him.

"By the way," He touched his forehead, tapping it with his index finger, "I have a powerful suicide inscription placed on my soul. Committing suicide by myself is way more honorable than losing to you again, not to mention it cuts down a part of the karmic burden I receive from being cut by an almost inevitable end."

"Half lies…" Davis's lips curled, "But I'll cut you some slack since you came clean."

He had an amused expression on his face, but inwardly, he was thinking a lot.

The Time Divergent had just exposed two time lines that he or even Fallen Heaven had no recollection of yet there was no karmic burden that Davis could feel descending on him.

'Does this mean that as long as it's only a few minutes interval, then the karmic burden from finding out the future from Kronos Alistair is negated by his own time-attributed physique…?'

If that was the case, it begged the question how far back in time could Kronos Alistair reach? It also rises another question, the most important one— how was Kronos Alistair doing the time leap to the past again and again?

It was highly possible it was due to his physique, but in what way?

Even one leap back to the time would invite a divine punishment tribulation with how tightly it was guarded by the heavens or the laws of the universe keeping it together, but he had already done it two times as far as Davis knew.

'No… three times, considering that his own father might've killed him once…'

Davis kept his mouth closed, thinking about a lot of things.

'The Space-Time Quintessence Ring huh…'

For one, he imagined that if Kronos Alistair had an apex treasure similar to Fallen Heaven, then he would already be dead instead of managing to kill Kronos Alistair. Therefore, he felt it was safe to consider that Kronos Alistair didn't have one of the ten Primeval Law Treasures.

"Yes, there are some time-attributed physiques that are capable of connecting with other dimensions, like how ours has a vague amount of connection to the Reincarnation Dimension."

While he was thinking, his main body abandoned the healing session and disturbed Myria out of her seclusion, only to receive her answer that shocked him to his core.

"Are you saying… that Kronos Alistair's physique is connected to the Time Dimension you just mentioned?"

Davis probed, causing Myria to give a heavy nod.

"That's right. I imagine he's drawing power from the Time Dimension to be able to bypass the restrictions placed on all living things in relation to time, allowing him to remain free of a divine punishment tribulation unless his physique could no longer endure."
