With Davis turning away, the little apocalyptic spirit unexpectedly pouted, releasing a wisp of purplish flames as though she was annoyed.
She hovered towards Lea by the side, causing Davis to react as he followed her, but she only went near and didn't get closer, raising her hands to ask for the apocalyptic flames again.
"Aha~"
Lea laughed delightedly before she closed the distance and bent down to the little spirit's level.
"You will have your flames eventually. As I said before, patience is necessary, and you need to be more reserved, my little spirit~"
Lea rubbed the little spirit's cheek, causing the latter to pout.
She thought she would have to wait until the purple-robed man appeared, but she was asked to wait more. She didn't like it, but she didn't see any other option available either, as the apocalyptic flames below seemed scary to her.
That's why when she heard the wolf's voice, she delightedly ran towards the source, hoping to feel fed and secure once again.
Lea began instructing the little spirit like a teacher, what to do and what not to do while the little spirit silently listened. She was very curious about her surroundings now that there was no food on the table.
Looking at this scene, Davis nodded in contentment, wondering when again he would work hard to grant Lea a child.
On the other hand, he saw that his other women were slightly enamored with the little spirit. It was cute, adorable, like a plushy, making them wish they could hug it till they ran out of breath. However, they also didn't forget how dangerous it was, so they didn't dare go near.
Even Lea maintained a distance of a few meters away from it until he arrived, as she could turn into ashes in an instant. They wouldn't even see it coming. Even now, that threat existed, but with him embracing her, he guessed Lea also became bolder.
"You… what is that…?"
Ralaza Heavenshade blurted out.
Her expression was a tinge of surprise and horror, and only due to the fact that it was Davis did she even ask the question. Otherwise, she would've run already since she could guess what kind of existence the little spirit was but didn't dare to believe it.
With her question, Davis blinked, finally thinking that his cute little flame spirit needed a name. In a sense, she could be considered his daughter since he created her. The same could be said about Epsila, but he wondered how the ethics worked around that part.
Regardless, the urge to name the Apocalyptic Flame Spirit had overtaken him now, causing him to think.
'Let's see… she's born from the heavenly essence of annihilation, created by a divine- no, a calamitous being like me… her power as large as the ocean, capable of incinerating vast realms into nothingness… but also surprisingly dependent like a glutton, clinging to Lea like she is her mother…'
Davis unwittingly smiled in pride.
Without saying, he knew what kind of existence he had created.
Left alone, she might become a harbinger of annihilation, an incinerator of realms, and would be treated as a Realm Calamity, far more than him since Anarchic Divergents were considered a Void Calamity.
With him making up his mind, he gestured at the little spirit and spoke with a smile.
"Meet Calypsea. A calamitous spirit brought from the depths of the apocalyptic flame sea by yours truly."
"Calypsea…"
Lea uttered while looking at Davis before she turned to look at the little spirit with a content smile.
"Your name is Calypsea Davis from now on."
"Calypsea Davis…"
The little spirit repeated those words, looking clueless. It wasn't until Lea repeated the name a few times while pointing to her while also introducing herself while pointing at herself that the little spirit finally understood.
"Calypsea… My name is Calypsea Davis… You are Lea…"
"Very good~"
Lea held Calypsea's small shoulder and strongly nodded before she turned and pointed at Davis.
"He is Davis Loret. When you want something, you can call him out with his name. Understood?"
"No, you will call him master!"
Eldia popped out from nowhere, crackling with an electrifying might.
"Wait-" Davis interjected, hurriedly pulling Eldia into his soul sea again, his heart almost swelling to his throat.
Seeing that Calypsea only stiffened and didn't react, he inwardly heaved a sigh of relief and directed his attention toward Eldia.
"Eldia, don't provoke her. She is still a child who doesn't know her limits and hasn't practiced controlling her energy, so getting her to be unharmful is already a monumental task. Don't make it any harder than it needs to be…"
"Sorry… master… I just wanted her to respect you… and… and show more restraint since she's gluttonous beyond compare…"
Eldia curled into a fetal position inside, appearing to be sorry and defensive, which made Davis speechless. With spirits, were lightning and fire also aggressive between each other, just like ice and fire spirits? He guessed they were, so he couldn't find fault, but still, Lea's life was at stake with her being so close to Calypsea, so naturally, he was angered a bit.
But after seeing Eldia appear sorry, he inwardly sighed and wanted to let go.
"Fine. Don't provoke her again unless you become stronger than her."
Eldia's gaze flickered before she stood straight, her electrifying gaze overflowing with determination.
"I will!~"
"Master…"
Davis just smiled on hearing Eldia, knowing that she was concerned about seniority and being the sole spirit in his soul sea as well, before suddenly he heard Calypsea's cute voice, causing him to blink in surprise.
She really called him master?
He couldn't help but lightly chuckle.
"I'm your master!"
Suddenly, the Variant Dark Dragon shouted from the side.
His words shocked everyone. Ralaza and the others were speechless, but they quickly understood what was going on. The dragon saw and understood that the spirit was still juvenile and, hence, could be tamed or even confused into being taken advantage of!
"Who are you…?"
However, Calypsea narrowed her eyes at the giant dragon. It was too big that she perceived it as a threat.
"Me? I'm your master."
But the Variant Dark Dragon spoke confidently and even smiled as it widened its lips all the way to the ears.
"You want to… die?"
Calypsea's small frame shuddered as she disappeared from Lea's hold and reappeared at the edge, her little body surging with purplish-black flames.
"…!"
The Variant Dark Dragon shuddered. It was already afraid of being burned alive by the apocalyptic flames, but now, there was an apocalyptic flame lifeform looking to deliver him to his early death. His huge brain quickly churned, causing him to wryly smile.
"No. You got me. Uncle Dark Dragon was just playing with you."
"Uncle…? Play…? You want to play with me?"
Calypsea's crimson-gold eyes lit up, her lips curling into an eager smile.
"No. I have to go. See you later."
The Variant Dark Dragon turned around and left with a flap of its wings, appearing to want to no longer entertain this Peak Immortal Emperor Grade Offensive Talisman waiting to go off.
His actions made the others dumbfounded while also suppressing their opportunistic hearts that also wanted to take advantage.
Davis palmed his forehead.
He had never seen a dragon flee this fast, but at this moment, he saw Myria arrive beside him.
"She already recognized you as master, so won't acknowledge another." She started, looking at Calypsea's figure with fascination and curiosity.
"The Sky Word Language is truly mysterious. Spirits are spiritual beings that naturally come to understand the meaning of it once they utter it a few times, while magical beasts understand the language from their inherited memories, while humans have to learn from scratch. Nonetheless, this spirit is even more intelligent than a heaven-tier spirit. Right now, she's still learning, but in a few days or weeks, she will be able to talk and understand like us."
"I see. That's good to hear."
Davis nodded. He was afraid that he would be bringing a ticking supernova back home, but with Myria's words, he gained more confidence.
He turned to look at the Phantom Gaze Serpent, his gaze flickering as he was already filled in by Nadia as to what had happened back in the serpent sector.
