Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1600 – Terrible Plight

Davis, who was watching all of this from inside little Davis felt his heart tremble as he knew what was going to come next.

Simultaneously, little Davisʼs regret and guilt were also washing over him, making him feel extremely bad as though he had been the one who was at fault.

Why didnʼt he treasure the time he had with his mother? Why was he so obstinate and crass?

These feelings washed over both Davisʼs as they were on their way out of the Imperial Loret Capital. After leaving the city, Davis could feel the extraordinary undulations of a fourth-stage cultivator go off. The little Davis smiled, knowing that it was his motherʼs undulations. However, those undulations were like a shooting star, bright before it disappeared out of their senses.

”Mother...?”

While Little Davis and Clara didnʼt know what happened, Hendrickson let out an involuntary grunt.

”You... what happened?” Little Davis asked Hendrickson, but he didnʼt receive an answer.

While Hendrickson refused to answer, the Davis who was watching from inside knew exactly of what transpired.

Both his father and mother self-destructed their revolving cores, dying in battle.

Rage enveloped Davis before he felt extremely reluctant.

Why is he being forced to watch this bullshit!? Either his life shouldʼve ended when he sacrificed his soul essence or should be just done with it and entered the next life or had his existence erased by Fallen Heaven!

Why did he have to see his motherʼs death in this manner?

ʼIʼve never been so happy at the fact that I killed that army with millions of people in my entire life. Iʼll do it again and again, as many times as it is needed to protect mother and father...ʼ

Davis laughed as he cried, but there were no tears, just the tears of little Davis influencing him to an extreme degree as it almost superimposed with his face. After all, he was forced to experience little Davisʼs emotions.

He hated this... Why was he here...?

Who was doing this to him? Whatʼs their end goal?

All those thoughts swirled in this thought process, and before long, he was kneeling in front of a grand palace. Whatʼs more, he recognized this grand palace.

”Emperor Ruth! The prince and princess of the Loret Empire have come seeking refuge from the war. Please grace us with your kindness and grant us protection. We are even willing to act as hostages!”

Hendrickson prostrated and begged the Ruth Emperor to take them in under their protection.

ʼWait... Wasnʼt it Empress Ruth at this time? Isabella never became an Empress? Where are you, Isabella?ʼ Davis wondered in doubt.

Nevertheless, he knew that his life had completely deviated from what he did.

He saved the Loret Empire by using Fallen Heaven, but in this life, it seems like the Loret Empire has...

”What hostages?” A confused voice echoed out, ”The Loret Empire has fallen, its citizens subjected to extreme violence. Your Emperor and Empress are dead. Do you think that these two children are in any position to obtain the status of imperial hostages?”

Davis recognized this voice. It was none other than Mark Ruth.

Hendrickson trembled as he had his head on the floor. He raised his head, looking at the little Davis and Clara before he forced both their heads to hit the ground, lowering their statures as he made their status clear in front of the gate to the Ruth Empireʼs Main Imperial Palace.

”Ruth Emperor! Please grant these two your amnesty! I, on behalf of the dead souls of the Loret Empire, plead that your majesty shields these two little souls from torture and death!”

Little Davis and Little Clara still kept crying. The moment they heard that their father and mother were dead, they broke into tears.

Nevertheless, no reply came from the Ruth Empire.

People and the guards acted as if they didnʼt know them or ignored them while they kneeled for hours and days. Hendrickson kept pleading as he prostrated on the ground, his throat going dry. He didnʼt eat an ounce of a meal but made sure to keep Little Davis and Little Clara well fed.

During these days, many rumors began to spread. Little Davis could hear as many as them saying all kinds of things while looking at them with pity, greed, and even schadenfreude.

One of the rumors was even designed to humiliate his father and mother, stating that the Emperor of the Loret Empire had to lick the shoes of the two invading Emperors while the Empress of the Loret Empire had fun with the army generals before they self-destructed together from the sheer shame.

Not only was Davis enraged, but even the Little Davis knew what it meant as he threw a stone at that person out of anger and cracked that personʼs head.

It became a fight. However, Hendrickson didnʼt move from his kneeling posture while the little Davis was punched to the face and knocked down before being hammered by many punches and kicked by many legs. Clara could only miserably cry as she called for her brother, asking for Hendrickson to help, but he refused to do so.

In the end, those people left after they spat at him, leaving a battered Davis who stood up, his little sapphire eyes flashing with hatred as he remembered those peopleʼs faces. His entire body trembled with vengeance clouding his mind.

No one, he would forgive no one!

At the end of the third night of kneeling in front of the Ruth Emperorʼs Palace, a sudden rumor began to spread.

Apparently, the Empress of the Loret Empire, Claire Loret, was not someone from their Grand Sea Continent!

It did not even begin as a rumor but was declared by the Raven Empire and Tritor Empire, who found many pieces of evidence in Claireʼs spatial ring!

The atmosphere quickly turned hostile towards them as many people began to see them as the devilʼs spawn. Killing intent brewed against them even though they were just little children.

”Ahahah! There you are, you two little squirts who managed to escape.”

”I presume that itʼs because of that Imperial Advisor who escaped in a cowardly manner instead of fighting to the death? Uhm?”

Two voices echoed as the three of them turned to look above in the skies.

It was none other than Emperor Raven and Emperor Tritor, storming the Ruth Empireʼs Imperial Capital. As for their target, it was clear that it was none other than Little Davis and Little Clara!

”Who granted you two imbeciles entry into my Imperial Capital?”

The expressions of the two Emperors changed as they heard Mark Ruthʼs voice.

”Are you kidding me? You think youʼre far above us, capable of taking us down both just because you have the blood of the Flood Dragon?”

”Donʼt interfere. Weʼve come for these two squirts. Nothing more, nothing less. Or else, youʼll have to face the wrath of the Guardian Alliance for sheltering these two demon spawns.”

Davis couldnʼt see what was happening as his vision through little Davis was still quite blurry. However, he could see two figures step out from the palace and engage with the two Emperors without uttering a single word.

*Boom!~*

Battle aura exploded in the scene as the two groups fought, but the Ruth Empire seemed to be gaining advantage as the two corrupt Emperors were being pushed off.

”Who is this woman!? How can she be so powerful!?”

”Mark Ruth! Are you crazy!? Youʼre going to go against the Guardian Alliance!?”

Emperor Raven and Emperor Tritor screamed in disbelief and reluctance as they retreated while taking repeated hits. There was a woman who was practically rushing at them with ruthlessness flashing in her eyes, her fists releasing a draconian might as she struck towards them.

*Boom!~*

This time, Emperor Raven and Emperor Tritor were sent flying towards the distance. Once they regained balance after flipping many times in the air, their expressions were painted with shame as they spat out a mouthful of blood.

”Thatʼs your first warning, you two fools. Leave from my Ruth Empire, or else face death. Furthermore, the prince and princess of the Loret Empire are officially under my care, so no matter if it is the Guardian Alliance or someone else from another Empire coming to look for them, tell them all to scram.”

Mark Ruthʼs voice echoed out with sheer arrogance, causing the expressions of those two to change.

As for Hendrickson, his taut muscles relaxed as he cried, knowing that he finally obtained the protection he had been prostrating himself for these few days.

For the next few seconds, Davis saw Emperor Raven and Emperor Tritor leave after leaving some threats. What could he say? It was typical of them, but finally, he couldnʼt help but smile as he saw his Isabella floating in the air, gazing back at him before she went back into the palace.
