Divine Emperor of Death

Davis shot toward his people at full speed.

Clad in annihilative heavenly flames and annihilative heavenly wind that gave him the most speed, he swiftly passed through the rabbit sector and entered the dragon sector. He couldn't sense the dragon but continued to travel at the same speed.

He was halfway through the dragon sector in a few minutes when suddenly, he came across a giant hand slapping towards him.

*Boom!~*

"Dammit!"

He abruptly shot upwards, causing the Variant Dark Dragon to miss him. It had even adjusted its wings so that he wouldn't be able to dodge downwards and could only go in two directions, which its tail was aiming to whiplash, but he was so fast without losing speed that he launched himself into the skies, quickly disappearing from its gaze.

It lamented its slow movements due to its restricted body, watching the Anarchic Divergent escape it again.

Another boom echoed, and Davis realigned himself as he shot towards the bridge his people were on.

With Zestria's movement technique that she practiced by using fire and wind energy, he had an immense boon in being able to escape his enemies. He had even made so many perfections in the flaws he discovered, and he was sure that Zestria would've eventually fixed it, but he wanted to share his insights upon returning home, allowing her movement techniques to increase along with his movement technique.

Soon enough, he landed on the bridge from above like a meteor, causing a slight tremor to reverberate across the bridge.

When he left, there were not many, but now, he could see that it was immensely populated.

Heavenly geniuses packed the place with a bit of space between each of them, and the closest to them was none other than the Heavenshade Clan.

Davis turned to look at them when he saw Ralaza Heavenshade and the others as well.

"Hehe! Ready for round two?"

Rath Heavenshade looked at him with excitement as he clenched his fists, "I made a breakthrough in my physical prowess. Do you dare to fight me?"

He appeared like a child wanting a challenge, causing Davis to be speechless.

Naturally, he knew the heavenly geniuses were also growing at a rapid rate, but he was still of the mind no one could compare to him.

"Forget it. You would not match him in a hundred years."

Abruptly, the huge Variant Dark Dragon arrived beside them, looking at them with its huge eyes as it hovered in the air.

"You-!"

Rath Heavenshade pointed at the Variant Dark Dragon, his expression furious.

"You're a disgrace to the dragon race that upholds righteousness and punishes evil. Shut up!"

"Ahaha~"

However, the Dark Dragon merely laughed, appearing to have heard something extremely funny that it disappeared from their view, seeming to have lowered in its head, clutching its stomach in laughter.

"…"

Davis watched the two of them with pursed lips before he turned to look around.

He saw a little girl standing quite a bit of distance away from Lea.

The adorable visage of the little girl's figure, combined with her wide smile that seemed to be happy over his appearance, made him blink.

Was it- no, was she not burst into a smothering fume of purplish-black flames and incinerate everyone here?

Davis doubted, but he was honestly surprised to see her actively suppress herself to the point that he couldn't sense much aura from her.

'Incredible… she's intelligent enough to know unleashing her powers would kill everyone here…'

Davis thought she was just a baby and wouldn't know left or right, much less right or wrong, so he had been extremely worried that bringing her here would end in a disaster. However, that didn't seem to be the case as he saw her remain suppressing her own energy to her utmost limit.

That's why the transcendents here also didn't lose their minds and escape in fear.

They could see that she was a flame spirit, but of what flame exactly? Even he couldn't tell.

"…"

Davis was honestly flabbergasted before he walked towards her with a smile on his face.

"You're here."

The little Apocalyptic Flame Spirit's crimson-gold eyes gleamed as she looked at Davis walking towards her. She wanted to sway with excitement but kept suppressing her undulations as she was instructed and taught by Lea. In the end, when he finally stood before her, she extended out her hands.

"Food…! Give me food…"

She remembered the apocalyptic flames given by the person before they tasted the better because it was refined to the extreme.

She unwittingly released some purplish-black flames around her body that appeared and disappeared like wisps, causing the entire area to suddenly become silent.

Rath Heavenshade's gaze was wide while the Variant Dark Dragon looked at the little spirit in horror just as it raised its head to reply to Rath Heavenshade.

Meanwhile, the Phantom Gaze Cobra in the sector to their left was unable to believe the sight before it.

Senior? Death Springs Nether Wolf? The Apocalyptic Flame Essence?

Why did they all seem close to the purple-robed man, an Anarchic Divergent?

"…"

Davis blinked at the little spirit.

How was he supposed to go get food at this place? Down below, the apocalyptic flames were all seamlessly directed towards the center, so If anything, he would die if he headed down as the heat was unbearable. However, he could provide her food if he went back to the wilderness as there would be some hidden places that could still accommodate him, refining the apocalyptic flames with Fallen Heaven.

However, he was still speechless, not knowing what to say because he was highly moved. After all, back then, he thought he had lost her to the damned tribulation, but she was alive, manifesting in the form of a lost and hungry little girl that tugged on his heartstrings more than ever.

He bent down, wrapping his arms around the little girl as he embraced her.

"You're alive… that's good… good…"

"…"

The little spirit tilted her head slightly, wondering what was going on. Was this an attack?

But it wasn't long before she couldn't help but feel some strange emotion welling up within her, causing her to feel warm even though she was already hotter than anything in this place.

In fact, she felt safe and secure in this hold, causing her eyes to blink in confusion as she didn't know what this emotion was. But eventually, she smiled and wrapped her small arms around his neck, imitating him.

"Mhm~ Gime food~"

'This glutton...'

Davis's brows twitched. He stood up, turning to look at the horrified transcendents who unwittingly took their weapons out in great caution.
