Divine Emperor of Death

Weiss Alstreim continued speaking out his no-longer relevant thoughts as answers.

"The next person whom I think betrayed me the most is... Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim. He is the reason why my precious Grandma Elise... has been led astray..."

"I vowed that... I would personally kill him with my own two hands... and make sure his head hangs in front of his mansion when I become the Patriarch..."

"Patriarch Eldric Alstreim thinks.... that he would remain in the Patriarch seat, but he doesn't know... that he has just temporarily reserved the seat for me..."

"I would become his father in the future... but he cannot exist because he and my children who have both been given birth by Grandma Elise cannot exist under the same sky..."

"Nora Alstreim is naturally my woman... No one can take her away from me..."

"..."

Almost everyone possessed a look of utter disbelief on their faces.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's expression became unsightly. He knew that Weiss Alstreim possessed a debaucherous character but to think that his lecherous mind would even think of the person who brought him success from the status of a grandmother like this!

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim's eyes were wide as he clenched his fists in utter anger!

How sickening!

He instantly wanted to move in and kill! Anyone who slighted his mother to this level should die!

Davis's eyes were wide in disbelief as well.

Initially, he thought that Weiss Alstreim would utter something like his family was his world, and right at that moment, he would deal a killing blow, making their hearts sink to despair in that last moment of realization.

Although he possessed enmity with them, he rather admired their unity for functioning as a family, not backstabbing each other.

But to think Weiss Alstreim was this trashy...

Even he became disgusted to deal a severe killing blow anymore as he didn't want to stain his hands with such a person's blood.

Nevertheless, it was just a momentary emotion. He raised his hands, wanting to deal the killing blow.

"Wait! I'll annihilate this ingrate myself!" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim moved. However, he was forced to come to a stop as he saw another figure move towards Weiss Alstreim, possibly to defend.

*Whoosh!~*

Davis's blonde hair shook from the breeze as a figure rushed past him.

*Puchi!~*

The sound of a sword piercing through flesh and bones could be heard.

Everyone looked at the masked woman stab Weiss Alstreim's forehead with her sword. Blood and grey matter flowed through the tip of the sword before falling towards the ground.

"Truly, I don't know how my Alstreim Family has given birth to such a character..." The masked woman pulled her sword back from the head and swung, severing Weiss Alstreim's head all in a single move!

She waved the sword, and the blood and grey matter on it was discarded while Weiss Alstreim's head simply plunged down towards the ground. Davis stopped using his soul force to support, and Weiss Alstreim's body also plunged along with the head towards the ground.

*Bang!~*

A heavy thud sound echoed, and Weiss Alstreim's body splattered with blood from hitting the surface of one of the No Same Sky Martial Platform's battle platforms. Even his head splattered while his eyeballs were sent flying away a bit into the distance from the impact over the durable structure.

The battle platform that had been dyed with the blood of numerous Alstreims just added another few liters to it!

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's pupils shook, but she refused to even let out a tear. However, she couldn't believe why Weiss Alstreim had turned from the little kid who cutely followed her around into a depraved person.

Her heart sank as she found that reality was rather... disheartening.

While Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim was astonished at the sudden attack, he was rather shocked to see who had moved. He turned a bit confused.

Did this woman also have enmity with Weiss Alstreim, but why did she say she 'my Alstreim Family'?

"For the second time in my life, I feel ashamed to be an Alstreim!" The masked woman coldly uttered as she watched the corpse explode into smithereens before she turned to look at Immeth Alstreim.

Immeth Alstreim's heart shook!

But even more than that, Edgar Alstreim's heart was severely shaken that his whole body started to tremble without control as he heard the extremely familiar voice. His lips quivered as if he was a shivering old man as he recognized the voice he craved to hear all this while!

At the same time, Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's eyes widened, 'Could it be!?'

The masked woman approached Immeth Alstreim as she flew. The sword in her hand was shining with a bloody hue, making Immeth Alstreim's hair stand on end.

"Who are you? You cannot kill me!"

The masked woman paid no heed as she did not stop.

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim narrowed his eyes as he stepped forward to shield her but suddenly, his body froze as he received a soul transmission from Ancestor Dian Alstreim.

Immeth Alstreim momentarily relaxed as Grand Elder Krax Alstreim stood in front of her to protect her, but she knew it was only till her execution. Although it didn't provide her relief, she did indeed crave to live.

She didn't know why this masked woman was filled with bloodlust towards her, and just as she started to think, her eyes went wide as she saw the masked woman fly past Grand Elder Krax Alstreim towards her.

She was unimpeded in her tracks!

"You!-"

*Puchi~*

Immeth Alstreim's eyes were wide as it could be as she looked below. Her abdomen was pierced with a sword stabbing into her dantian. She even slowly felt the blade sink into her flesh while her dantian ruptured, starting to discharge energy through all the pores of her body as the energy leaked.

"What...?" A sense of surrealism filled her heart.

Was this truly real?

Her dantian had ruptured? Was it not an illusion?

"What do you mean 'what'? Don't tell me you weren't expecting this kind of retribution when you schemed against me in the past, Immeth?"

From Immeth Alstreim's agape lips, blood leaked as she raised her head to look at the masked woman before realization dawned on her.

Her lips moved, "Claire?"

With her free hand, the masked woman clenched her mask and removed it. Flames blazed over her head of black hair, becoming blonde in an instant as the dye was removed. Even the black eyebrows blazed into blonde eyebrows while her purple eyes coldly gazed at Immeth Alstreim's trembling eyes.

Tears fell from Immeth Alstreim's eyes as her expression turned sorrowful as well as crazy, "How...?"

"'If you feel reluctant, why don't you try to get back to the Alstreim Family and take this matter to the Disciplinary Hall', was it?" Claire coldly questioned.

It was something the fake Nora Alstreim in the projection told her when her heart was filled with despair.

How could she forget?

All her hatred towards Nora Alstreim fell on Immeth Alstreim and Elder Zeno Alstreim, but now that it was clear who the betrayer in the family was, every inch of her hatred befell Immeth Alstreim alone!

Immeth Alstreim's lips trembled, wanting to reply that it wasn't her but Faragin Yantra. However...

"Well, I'm afraid that the answer to my question is that I'm not going to rely on the Disciplinary Hall ever again because I have my son and husband to rely on!"

*Slash!~*

Immeth Alstreim's head was instantly severed as the sword cut in an instant. It spun around the air in a beautiful arc as her eyes watched Claire possess a ruthless gaze towards her.

Many thoughts ran rampant in her head.

How?

How was it possible that Claire was present here when she should have died in the Forsaken Phoenix Realm?

And why?

Why did she have to experience a cruel fate when the other people were using her for the same reasons she committed those deeds for?

As her head spun, she saw the expression of numerous people be filled with indifference towards her death.

'Curse you all to eternal damnation! May the heavens smite you all to death!'

Her eyes flashed with deep hatred before fear overtook her last remaining senses!

'I don't want to die! No!!!'

Claire's essence energy that wrecked her severed neck invaded her head before entering her soul sea, exterminating her soul from existence!

Her eyes lost their gleam before plunging towards the ground, meeting the same fate as Weiss Alstreim's head as it splattered into blood and grey matter on the surface.

Claire's lips trembled as she looked at the headless body in front of her. She held it with her soul force, and after a moment of hesitation, the hatred she tried to suppress won out in the end as the sword in her hand danced!

Tens of swings were made with the sword in an instant, and Immeth Alstreim's body parted into many pieces as the blade sliced her apart! It all plunged towards the ground as another few liters of flesh and blood fell down like rain, coating the surface.

Everyone looked at this merciless execution conducted right in front of their eyes in rabid disbelief. Even Davis slightly had his mouth agape as he never knew that his mother could be this ruthless. Her actions were violent, but he could see that it carried her hatred in those swings as she vented.

All of them could see that Claire heaved a heavy sigh before she swung her sword towards a direction and pointed at Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, her purple eyes gleaming in a cold light.

"Apologize and repent or die!"

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's wide eyes narrowed into two tiny slits as his expression became extremely solemn!
