Divine Emperor of Death

Divergents, as the name suggests, tend to diverge from singularity and cause chaos in the lines of fate more than a heaven's favored could possibly achieve. However, the Karmic Guardian Emperor recalled that there were many types of Divergents, with the main being two types; namely, a Tranquil Divergent who stepped out from the predetermined fate the heavens fixed for them, creating a bit of chaos in the workings of fate.

However, even people with high enough karmic luck could achieve that kind of feat. But people who can change their end result of death from their predetermined fate are what makes them Divergents. After all, there was a cycle that the world of life and the world of death had to maintain, making it so that even people with high enough karmic luck be unable to avoid the fate of death.

Nonetheless, a Tranquil Divergent could only cause so much trouble. It was nothing compared to the other type of Divergent, who are terrifying individuals who can cause calamities, not because they intentionally want to create a calamity but their actions unwittingly disrupt the fates of many, causing a sonorous butterfly effect that affects many lives in a positive or bad way, mostly the latter.

It majorly causes untimely and unforeseen deaths and throws a wrench in the workings of fate such that the heavens forcibly extinguish them from the world by sending them an annihilating heavenly tribulation when they achieve something worthy of a massive change in their lives, whether it be their physique improving or undergoing a heavenly tribulation.

As far as the Karmic Guardian Emperor considered, everything would become clear if the Emperor of Death was the latter, an Anarchic Divergent, capable of changing the fates of themselves and many while incurring the wrath of the heavens.

However, if such individuals were to appear, their characteristics were defined by unreasonable and nomadic, bound by none. They refuse to mingle precisely because of their fate-changing abilities that they don't realize they even possess before someone tells them or gets hounded by the heavens. However, the wheels of fate sure do unwittingly drag them along, ending up making them twist the heaven and earth in a pursuit to survive the onslaught of the heavens and others who perceive them as a significant source of danger.

'But…! The Emperor of Death has a harem and an entire family under his wings and is fairly reasonable to talk with as long as one doesn't touch his reverse scale, which is his loved ones!'

The Karmic Guardian Emperor clenched his teeth, grinding sounds echoing as he ruminated over what kind of Divergent was that of the many as socializing Divergents were unheard of! One or two people was understandable, but hundreds of people!?

In the end, he couldn't fit Davis in any category of Divergents, although he felt that Davis should be an Anarchic Divergent because who said that Divergents wouldn't be friendly at the beginning of their life? In his eyes, the Emperor of Death was very young, so it would only be a matter of time before he loses everything and refuses to mingle.

The Karmic Guardian Emperor then shared his insights to the Mandate Emperor.

"Sigh, I never thought that he would commit a mass slaughter like that… What happened to him?"

The Mandate Emperor slumped to his throne, looking weary after he heard the double validation of his subordinates that the Vast Sky Emperor Palace has been completely exterminated with no souls daring to remain in its vicinity.

He felt drained of his energy, maybe because his karmic virtue suddenly disappeared for no reason after meeting with the Emperor of Death. Even the Karmic Guardian Emperor's karmic virtue had disappeared.

When the two of them no longer felt the presence of karmic luck in themselves, and it was likely to have happened at the same time after the Emperor of Death left, it was no longer a matter of coincidence. They suspected him of having the Karmic Seizer Physique of the legends that had not appeared not even once in the Fifty-Two Territories. However, since a description was etched in their records, they knew it should exist.

However, since the Karmic Seizer Physique was a soul physique, how was it possible that the Emperor of Death was able to use Death Laws?

It didn't make any sense to them, but with Davis being identified as an Anarchic Divergent at the moment, him possessing a Karmic Seizer Physique became a valid possibility.

After all, the one with the Karmic Seizer Physique was certainly capable of changing the karmic luck of oneself and everyone around them, making it so that they were also called an Anarchic Divergent. As for an example of a Tranquil Divergent, a person with a Fate Discarnate Soul would very much fit that category, escaping the trajectory of fate but not causing that much harm to the world.

Only…

How could the Emperor of Death steal their karmic virtue without them becoming aware of it until later when they noticed that their feeling of basking in virtue was no longer present? The description mentioned that the surrounding heaven and earth energy would retaliate when such a thing occurs, making it difficult for the Karmic Seizer Physique to plunder the two karmic nature, but such a thing didn't occur, making them feel confused.

How did he exactly steal? No matter how they thought, they couldn't arrive at an answer. However, such things felt less important at the moment as they felt that they had to do something about the Vast Sky Emperor Palace's all-out extermination.

"Do you think it's wise to confront the Emperor of Death now?"

"No. Our powers would be implicated if we messed up, which is more likely to occur since the Emperor of Death just went on a killing spree. Brother Regalanius, the fact that you even had to ask me for input shows we can't do anything about it."

The Mandate Emperor asked before the Karmic Guardian Emperor shook his head. They could only look at each other with helplessness gleaming in their eyes. They didn't want to let such a tragedy transpire, but they were just too late, even scared.

At this moment, a messenger rushed inside the palace and bowed.

"Reporting to the Mandate Emperor. Children below three years old were found unconscious in a nearby mountain from the Vast Sky Emperor Palace. They number in the thousands that I suspect…"

The Mandate Emperor's whole body shuddered as he sat up and bellowed, "Quick! Save them all and carry them here!"

===========

A purple-robed figure made it to the Purple Guest Palace, his eye sockets sunken a little bit. When he blinked, he saw a voluptuous figure standing in the hallway, seemingly waiting for someone.

Instantly, his pale face blossomed into a gentle smile as he walked towards her.

"Evelynn…"

He arrived before her and wrapped his arms around her waist, his head falling on her shoulder before his lips moved.

"I feel sleepy. Will you lend me your shoulder…?"

"Yes~"

The moment Evelynn spoke, she felt his weight thoroughly weigh on her, understanding that Davis had instantly fallen asleep from exhaustion.

As for what occurred while Davis went around…

She had seen everything that there was to see with her third eye, and there was not a hint of remorse or dejection in her eyes; only a gentle glint was ever-present as she caressed his head, running her fingers through his blonde hair with a gaze full of love.

She placed a loving kiss on his head before their figures disappeared, leaving an empty hallway in their wake.
