"-Clara's Will might've been completely taken over. I researched about this matter while trying to access the Library in Master's palace using my soul body, but Master directly descended and offered me advice. Apparently, this phenomenon is known as Heaven's Descent and would only occur to rebellious Heaven's Warrior who refused to listen to the Call of the Heavens multiple times."
"It would make them align with the mystical thoughts of the heavens and override their own priorities, leaving their Will on the sidelines at least until they finish the duties etched into them at that time or die."142.93.60.102
Ellia spoke in a solemn voice, causing Davis's expression to churn.
He took a few moments to digest her words before he asked again.
"The Call of the Heavens… is that the influence imposed to eradicate all anomalies of divergence?"
"Yes, that is what Master termed as she seemed to conduct research on Heaven's Warrior back in her prime. No one would dare to pry into the secrets of the heavens, so this would be almost impossible in the true immortal world, but in this world, with enough time and boldness, some research could be conducted."
Davis raised his brows, never imagining Saintess Lunaria to be so daring despite her outlook.
After saying that she doesn't want to get killed by him numerous times, it seemed like she was only saying that to appear humble. She also had the chance to use Fallen Heaven, but she decisively chose to throw it away.
'She truly knows how to maneuver with her own power…'
With Fallen Heaven, Davis came to think one would suffer a calamity almost as a matter of course. Myria was of the same opinion, telling him to abandon it.
However, Fallen Heaven was his buddy through thick and thin for all he cared. He gave it his word, and it gave its word to let be used by him, giving him free reign. They grew together, their souls shared, although it seemed to be capable of influencing him more than he could impose on it, but in truth, it didn't bother doing that, earning his trust.
Nonetheless, speaking of a certain someone…
"Come out already. I told you to wait, but you just can't stop worrying about me, following me around."
Davis looked towards his left, speaking out. Ellia blinked, wondering who he was talking about, when her eyes froze as she saw a white-robed silhouette slowly turn into a beautiful woman, almost like a mirror image of her if it wasn't for the white hair.
"Elder sister Myria…" Ellia worded out with joy and puzzlement, wondering why she was hiding.
If that was the case, he imagined that Clara needed to kill someone to return to normalcy.
'Me…?'
Davis doubted, his mind ringing, but then he knew he wasn't here, so how was he supposed to be Clara's target?
He thought of Evelynn and Logan, one trying to treat her while the other tried to lock her up. Were they Clara's targets? Or was it Ellia who was a Divergent?
But for some reason, his gaze moved from Ellia, and he looked at the mansion where Tia was resting.
'It can't be…'
His eyes narrowed, wondering if it was all of them instead, as the condition for Heaven's Descent to disappear was unknown, even to the Heaven's Warriors themselves, only able to rely on their senses to unleash their verdict.
"What do you think?" He turned to look at Myria.
"…"
Myria seemed to be in contemplation like he had been. She stayed silent for a few seconds before she opened her mouth.
"From Ellia's account, I can understand that this matter is extremely difficult to resolve. If Tia really did protect Clara from something, it might be related to a karmic backlash, which can mean that something unknown to us happened. Until we find that out, it would be extremely difficult to resolve this situation."
"That's what I thought too, but Tia used a technique and whispered something which I couldn't hear clearly and only heard about 'self', which didn't make sense unless she implanted something in Clara in order to harm or protect her…"
Ellia spoke, but in the end, her voice was low as she didn't know which one was the truth. If Tia tried to harm Clara, then she was most likely possessed, but if she wasn't possessed and tried to save Clara from a karmic backlash, then that would mean something different went on. But in that case, why wasn't Tia waking up to explain this matter?
From her soul undulations, Ellia could tell that she was still awake but refused to wake up, wanting to slumber. Mingzhi even mentioned Tia was full of sorrow, which gave them no idea about what was going on.
Davis couldn't help but wryly smile at the complexity of the situation. They didn't know if it was even Heaven's Descent reacting to Evelynn's treatment or Tia's actions that prolonged and worsened the situation, and it only made him confused beyond compare if it was both.
He smiled but had the rage contained within, enough to crush a mountain into fine particles of dust.
"Then let's go hear it from Tia's own mouth."
Davis lightly uttered as he walked into the mansion, and Myria followed. Ellia pursed her lips, wondering if Tia would even wake up as they already tried many methods to wake her up, but they didn't work at all. She was worried for Tia that Davis might force her to awaken, which might badly affect her psyche, but heaving a sigh, she also followed them into the mansion.
A minute later, they finally arrived at the chamber where she was sealed. The three of them entered together, looking at Tia sleeping on a bed with her brows scrunched, seemingly deep in sleep but appearing to be troubled as though fighting with something, perhaps a possession or a bad dream.
