Chapter 908 Devil Ancestor’s Space Ring
Ace moved to take the scepter and looked at the dark orb imbued within the skull's mouth, and the moment he came in contact with it, he could feel the dark orb submission to him.
Satisfied, Ace stowed the scepter away since the dark orb was the last orb he had to absorb before absorbing the other seven orbs.
Then he looked at the corpse of the devil ancestor, and a thought surfaced in his mind before a thievish smile appeared, and he quickly stowed the corpse before leaving the space.
Just like that, the Devil Ancestor Edward vanished without anyone realizing it.
Ace exited the hidden space at this moment, and he was looking through Edward's space ring, his first ever grade-9 treasure he stole from someone else.
Furthermore, this treasure was a living space treasure, no less. Since Edward was dead, the space ring was ownerless, and Ace quickly claimed it.
Then he tried what he always wanted to do: he attempted to enter the space ring, and the next moment, he felt a strong suction force before his vision blurred, and he appeared in a 500-cubic meter space.
This space was completely different from the gloomy thief's space; there was a bright blue sky and soft grass bed on the floor, and there was even a medium-sized castle built with a water pool around it while fields of rare herbs were planted near it, giving the entire place a pleasant scent and rich Qi. It was like a small paradise.
"I've succeeded!" Ace muttered in ecstasy, and then he noticed that the space ring on his finger was missing, and he was startled. But he could clearly sense the presence of the ring and try to see outside.
He was shocked when he peered outside with a thought and found the space ring lying on the rocky surface.
'I can enter this place, but the ring will remain outside. It's just like any other space ring. Since this space exists within this ring, the medium naturally can't enter it. It's just like my thief's space since it exists within me. I can't enter it.' Ace mused as he found this quite reasonable.
Only then did he look at the white castle built in the center of this space and smile, "I've always wanted to build this sort of place for myself, but what's the point if I can't even enter it? No wonder the living space treasures are so rare. This space is like a small portable realm. Furthermore, I don't think it has any restrictions on its entries like my thief's space. Using it to upgrade my thief's space would be a waste."
The more Ace thought about it, the more content he became with himself and really felt grateful towards the late Devil Ancestor.
'Now, where did he store all those treasures? That castle should be it.' Ace smiled as he directly teleported in front of the castle gate. He could've found them with a thought, but he just wanted to explore his new toy.
Since he was now the owner of this place, he could go anywhere with a thought, and it was pretty clear the castle was where Edward stored all the good things since it was a waste to use this place as a mere storage space.
However, right at this moment, when he was in front of the castle gate, he was startled, and the next moment, the castle door began to open.
Just as the castle gate was opening, a few melodious voices rang in unison, "Welcome back, Lord Husband!"
Ace was dumbfounded and speechless because he didn't think that the devil ancestor would have anyone else living here since it was a precious space, so he ignored this detail.
Even if someone was living here, they should be quite substantial and decisive to the Devil Ancestor. But he didn't imagine that the people living here would be Devil Ancestor's wives, and there were 18 of them, no less!
'The Devil Ancestor was such a person even at this age?' Ace wondered speechlessly as the gates opened, and 18 country-toppling beauties from the devil race stood there with anticipation in their eyes.
Furthermore, the weakest among them were in the Qi soul manifestation realm's high stage, while the strongest were in the intermediate stage of the Law Awareness Realm. This was a terrifying lineup, and they were all his wives!
At this moment, Ace had a new-found respect for the Devil Ancestor. He can't even handle two women, but that guy had tamed 18 of them. He even started to regret killing the guy and not saving his great memories.
Nonetheless, it was too late, and now he was the owner of this place, so he didn't bother hiding himself and also quickly searched for more living beings. But there were none other than those 18 in front of him.
At this moment, the strongest among the 18 devils, a woman from the blood devil clan with alluring features, finally noticed that this hooded person wasn't her husband at all.
The gentleness in crimson eyes vanished, and coldness replaced it as she asked, "Who might you be, Sir?"
The others also noticed and were instantly on guard because Edward had never let another man in this place, and without his permission, no one else could enter.
That's also why when they all sense someone else presence, they take it as Edward since he always announced first whenever he was sending another woman here. The possibility of him dying in this place and exchanging the owners didn't even occur to them.
So, they also didn't attack him as they thought he was Edward's underling.
Ace smiled wryly as he didn't know how to break the news to them, but he wasn't interested in plundering someone else harm, nor did he want to be strangled by Eva.
So, he quickly thought of a much more effective way to deal with this strange situation.
"System, will she be fine if I send Eva here?" He asked the system.
"[Yes, for this is a restricted space under Host's ownership.]
Elated, he quickly sent a voice transmission to Eva.
"Why aren't you speaking?" The vile devil clan woman coldly questioned as she released her early law awareness stage aura with a hostile look.
Ace finally spoke impassively, "Ladies, I hate to break it to you, but I'm afraid your husband is dead, and now I'm the owner of this place. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. But it doesn't mean I can ask you not to hate me. So I'll let someone else from your race help with your grief."
His words shocked everyone, and before they could fully comprehend them, a devilish woman in white attire appeared beside Ace, and a tiny black bird was sitting on her shoulder.
The moment Eva appeared, her eyes were deadly cold as she looked at all those beautiful devils with naked hostility, while Cyrus was extremely curious.
"How did you do it?" She looked at Ace with a complicated look in his eyes.
Although Ace didn't give her much information, he only told her that he killed the Devil Ancestor, and now he wanted her help to deal with something, and she quickly agreed despite her initial shock.
She has highly complex feelings towards the devil race because they were the ones who killed her mother and father. She even wanted to seek revenge herself once she could freely move around. Moreover, she wanted to know more about her mother and her death.
But Ace got rid of the top figure of the Devil Race, which is a huge surprise, and she doesn't know how to feel about it.
Ace sighed as he felt Eva's emotions. He knew she still resents the devil race despite not showing it, so he wanted to give her peace by letting her deal with these women, and also, since they were Edward's women, they should know about many secrets. So, letting Eva deal with them was the right choice.
"I'll tell you once I'm finished with this task. I'm still in the middle of it, and I thought you would be interested in a change of scenery, so do as you please. Once you are done, tell me." Ace gently stated with a smile before he vanished from the space.
He decided to give Eva some space now and put a hold on seeing Edward's treasures, and he also took away Cyrus.
'This dummy…' Eva couldn't help but smile tenderly before it vanished entirely as she felt multiple killing intents on her.
"You dare to spout nonsense!" The blood devil released her aura as crimson Qi gushed out from her person.
Eva suddenly smiled cruelly, "We have a long chat ahead of us. But first, let me show you your new place!"
The next moment, she released her bloodline aura, and all the devil faces went deadly pale when they sensed that horrible feeling of being like an ant in front of their queen!
