Chapter 3244 To Where They Started
Davis was quite surprised that Lest Mistwalker managed to make it here despite the apocalyptic flames starting to spread more and more around the realm. If they didn't secure this place before they headed to the central region, then it would be filled with apocalyptic flames right now, but it seemed like Lest Mistwalker took advantage of that opportunity and hid in a safe place.
Nonetheless, Davis didn't care, but he scoffed.
"What makes you think I will protect you? When we entered, you killed tens of immortals from the First Haven World. Even if I don't do anything to you, do you think their elders will leave you alive?"
"…"
Lest Mistwalker's brows twitched.
He hadn't even said his piece, but the other party had already seen through his intent.
<nulli>'Well, since I'm here, it can only mean I'm intending to want to enter the First Haven World and, by means, need his help…'
Lest Mistwalker thought as he rubbed his head before opening his mouth, he spoke, "I have no choice. If I really thought about it, there's no means of escape since my family has my life jade. If they wanted to, they could easily trace my whereabouts and execute me for gifting you the Celestial Luminescence Pill and the forging inheritance. I can forget about hiding from them until I become a Late Stage Immortal Emperor, at the very least."
"More than that, I wanted to thank you for not harming my sister, although I enjoyed the torture you committed on Lambert."
His smile turned into a bright star, causing Davis's lips to curl.
"What about Layla Mistwalker? Did you enjoy watching her getting tortured in her half-naked state?"
"Well, I don't know…" Lest Mistwalker shrugged, "… because on one side, I admired her, and on another, she took Lambert's side when push came to shove. No matter her reasons, we're enemies now, so I can't feel anything for her. Are there any more questions until you find me trustworthy or dedicated enough to take me with you?"
"I'll let you know after the realm collapses."
"…"Lest Mistwalker almost tripped but raised his head and continued, "Can't I know your answer any sooner? Like… right now since you seem to be leaving."
Davis inwardly chuckled to himself.
He certainly wasn't in the mood to be talking reason with people as he was pissed about his emotions that went haywire after meeting that mysterious black-robed woman.
Was he truly duped by her? That question still remained in his heart, and now that he was so close to the spatial vortex leading to the First Haven World, it made him hesitate to think one last time.
However, considering that he had caused a tremendous impact on this realm through Epsila's Annihilative Heavenly Tribulation, creating Calypsea, feeding her through plundering apocalyptic flames, which was a feat unheard of, and letting her undergo her spirit tribulation, which was also an Annihilative Heavenly Tribulation, not to mention stealing the Celestial Luminescence Pill from this guy who probably had some kind of glorious destiny and even freeing the twelve prisoners who were meant to die here, he guessed that he really would encounter some ridiculous difficulty at the end after the realm concoction.
In the end, this was nothing but speculation on his part, but this time around, he felt like he must trust his instincts than logic. He had also obtained a ridiculous amount of wealth, so this expedition could be said to be a success on its own, even without the realm pill.
If he left now and nothing happened, he would still win, but if something calamitous happened to them, he would return as the loser.
Even risk assessment told him it was better to leave now.
Nonetheless, Davis gazed at Lest Mistwalker, wondering if he should take him back. It was obvious he had some kind of glorious destiny to fulfill, so if he took him back, it would only worsen the bubble, but if he left him here and somehow died, that could also lead to the popping of a bubble.
Davis guessed this was Lest Mistwalker's road of divergence, his fate hanging on a thread that was him.
"If it's concealing one's tracks, I can do it."
Suddenly, the Pelagic Serenity Turtle uttered in a soft tone, causing Davis's gaze to flicker as he found a new option.
"A good idea." He nodded at the Pelagic Serenity Turtle.
It was a woman clad in a dark blue robe and had a serene air while her eyes looked as dark as the ocean's depth.
"No way… you really aren't going to heed an evil prisoner's words, are you?"
Lest Mistwalker's lips twitched, but after he said it, his expression changed as he might've very well insulted the Emperor of Death along with them. After all, an Anarchic Divergent was considered pure evil just for existing.
However, Davis didn't care.
"Your options are limited. In other words, beggars can't be choosers, so receive whatever help you can if you want to survive. I'll leave the rest to you, Pelagic Serenity Turtle."
"Understood."
The dark-blue-robed woman nodded and walked towards Lest Mistwalker.
Lest Mistwalker regretted coming here at this moment as he was locked in place. The enormous pressure from the Pelagic Serenity Turtle was ridiculously at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Stage, perhaps two more levels higher, so he couldn't resist at all, finding himself unable to even speak.
But contrary to his expectations, he didn't die but had a kind of unknown darkness technique cast on him that made him able to conceal himself more.
Davis wasn't surprised. The magical beast prisoners here more or less had the ability to naturally conceal themselves. He guessed they were selected based on this factor in order to hunt the heavenly geniuses who invaded their sectors in search of treasures.
The Pelagic Serenity Turtle had an innate attribute of water and darkness, but now, he also saw that this turtle learned Karmic Laws, which meant the Pelagic Serenity Turtle race had the potential to do so. He concealed Lest Mistwalker's soul, leaving him blinking like he was a child who didn't know what happened.
"With this, you'll be able to escape your family's grasp. Good luck to you."
Davis waved his hand, causing Lest Mistwalker's expression to twitch. Still, he cupped his hands and thanked Davis for his 'magnanimous' nature.
"Try entering it…"
Meanwhile, Davis told the Wind Phoenix to try entering the spatial vortex. He didn't know if this mature jade beauty clad in a lush green robe tightly covering her curves would be accepted by the spatial vortex's innate nature.
After all, it only allowed Immortal Kings and below to enter. But he could see these two prisoners were trying to make themselves useful to him, at least for the moment.
Lest Mistwalker looked at the Wind Phoenix approaching the spatial vortex. He had already removed the barrier he cast so he could easily enter, but he also wondered if this Immortal Emperor Beast could enter.
Everyone also squinted their brows as this result would basically determine if they could bring along Calypsea or not!
The dark-green-haired woman seamlessly floated towards the spatial vortex. Standing in front of it, she extended her frail arm, touching the elusive spatial vortex with her finger.
<nullb>*Bang!~*
The Wind Phoenix's pupils dilated as she saw the tip of her finger explode all the way to her elbow, leaving her robe bloodied and full of gore. However, she didn't release a scream, appearing calm as her hand began to regenerate.
"Looks like we can't pass."
She turned around, her phoenix brows squinting at the Emperor of Death, whose expression was not good at the moment, while Lea held little Calypsea tighter.
Even Calypsea's gaze flickered as though she understood what this meant for her, her intelligent eyes turning to look at Davis as though she wondered what decision he would make.
