Divine Emperor of Death

"-Is there something else I am not seeing?"

Davis asked Kronos Alistair with a curious expression on his face.

For a while now, he felt that there was some kind of mind game going on throughout the entire time. He didn't remember displaying his new reincarnation wheel to the public, not to mention that only a minority of his women even knew about it.

So for Kronos Alistair to know about it didn't make sense, and since the other party was known as the Divergent, who could use Time Laws, Davis wondered if he could see the future.

However, seeing the future was harmful to the user, and seeing the future of an Anarchic Divergent like him was as good as courting death.

Many Mystic Diviners end up facing harm when divining heavenly geniuses, so there was no need to say what would happen when they divine Divergents. It would simply be impossible to see the future with so many strong presences around.

As far as she knew, only Tia, with her ridiculous karmic-attributed physique, was capable of doing it, and that too in a vague manner.

Therefore, Davis wondered if Kronos Alistair traveled to the past, not corporeally but through the incorporeal time-attributed physique he could possess, allowing him to have the memories of the future, perhaps even multiple futures like reliving a loop, although the latter was preposterous to him.

Then again, even doing the former will invite a Divine Punishment Tribulation as it happened for Jade Aurora's other self.

Fallen Heaven reminded these matters to him almost every week so that he wouldn't forget, so he was still aware of that day that caused him to retreat from the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm.

Consequently, he was aware that pulling off such a time-attributed maneuver would invite a disastrous divine punishment from the heavens.

But clearly— Kronos Alistair was alive and well in front of him.

There was no strange phenomenon in the skies either, which left him incredibly confused about whether the other party really was redoing his life in order to know the future. The other conclusion was that Kronos Alistair was able to fool his Heart Intent, but that didn't seem to be the case with how stiffly he hovered in the air.

Was it all just acting…?

"This isn't your first encounter with him."

While Davis was thinking, Fallen Heaven's voice suddenly fell into his mind; his main body's mind.

"What!?"

Davis was shocked that his life energy faltered. Everlight noticed that he was lightly shaken while healing him, but seeing that he maintained his calm, she didn't say anything and closed her eyes again, continuing to heal him.

It was already a few hours since they began the healing session.

"In fact, this isn't your second time either."

"…"

Davis kept his calm this time as he heard Fallen Heaven's voice.

"How did you know? You're not with my avatar."

"Did you forget that I can see what you see and what you can't see?"

"Right…"

Davis responded in an unamused matter, "I know you can see almost everything, but that doesn't mean you can see the future."

"I didn't."

Fallen Heaven responded in a somber tone as though it was disappointed in itself, "However, I can feel that Divergent's fate has a looping trajectory."

"Looping trajectory…?"

Davis inwardly doubted what he heard, "Explain what had happened then."

"I don't know what happened, but what I do know is the starting point and the ending point. You killed him two times already, causing his physique to leap back in time, which probably allows him to retain his memories since he can tell what had happened."

'What the- isn't this the famous Return by Death…?'

Davis inwardly gawked as a black-haired youth in a deep-gray tracksuit bottom with an orange stripe down the side appeared in his imagination but shook away the chill encroaching in his heart as he wouldn't be able to beat such an opponent.

"Wait… how is that even possible!? Even-"

"Yes, the consequences are there. Only— it hasn't seemed to have manifested yet. It's accumulating… I can feel it. Each time he dies, his karmic burden rises significantly… and right now, I assume he has already become an Anarchic Divergent, perhaps at the level of three or four Paragon Magical Beasts…"

"…" Davis was shaken.

The Time Divergent was said to have faced a Destructive Immortal Emperor Tribulation, but now, it seems like he had already reached the level of Anarchic Divergents.

He slowly thought about the meaning of Fallen Heaven's words.

"You mean to say the more he dies…, the more his karmic burden increases, making his tribulations harder before when his physique reaches a limit, a divine punishment will fall…?"

"That's right. At least, that's what I could infer from the two encounters."

Davis wanted to take a deep breath, unable to believe this was their third encounter. He had already killed Kronos Alistair two times, so logic said that he shouldn't let him live or face the consequences sooner or later.

"Then I only need to kill him a few dozen times. Shouldn't be harder unless I need to kill him a thousand times, which would prove impossible as he could come up with many ways to kill me before I can completely end him."

He imagined that his avatar would have some trouble, but if he went there with his main body, then only one move would be enough to end the Time Divergent's life regardless of whether he could control time or not.

"True, but even if the times you would have to kill him are shorter, I wouldn't recommend doing that."

"Hmm?" Davis became confused.

"If you keep killing him, a divine punishment would eventually descend due to the accumulated karmic burden of his physique, and the presence of a divine punishment also means your eviction."

"Ugh…"

Davis felt like someone punched his gut.

He had totally forgotten about the World Master warning him not to do anything anymore and just live this one month free of trouble.

"Think about it carefully. You wouldn't even be able to stay in the First Haven World anymore. If you still deem him a threat, you can enslave him using me, but that would cause a significant amount of karmic burden to fall on you instead. The result is the same."

"…"

Hearing Fallen Heaven's advice, Davis fell into silence.

It was rare for Fallen Heaven to give advice after it had grown wise instead of yelling at him to kill every chance it got in the earlier years, which meant this small expedition he went on had changed into a life-changing encounter.

"…"

"…"

Davis and Kronos Alistair were still silent for five whole seconds straight before the latter opened his mouth.

"Senior, you can make hypothesis over what my powers entail but turning me into an enemy doesn't bode well for you."

Kronos Alistair clenched his teeth, "I admit my inferiority, so let me leave. I promise I won't trouble the Ghostly Crow Clan anymore."

"…!?"

Nyoran, Queen Nadija, Rea Tyriel, and many others were shocked by this scene.

The evil Time Divergent who destroyed the Alistair Family and became an Immortal Emperor was admitting defeat to the Divine Emperor of Death, who was still in the Immortal King Stage, without even putting up a fight…?

The very sound of it was absurd to them.
