Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 955 I'll Do What It Takes

Chapter 955 I“ll Do What It Takes

After a while, Ancestor Dian Alstreim opened his mouth, voicing out his doubt.
"Are you really sure that you want to take revenge no matter what?"
Claire firmly nodded her head in reply.
"What if you came to lose everyone you have in this battle. They have Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Experts on their side to eas-"
"You don't need to worry about that, Ancestor..." Davis interrupted as he took a step forward, standing in front of his mother.
"I possess many methods to counter whatever comes my way, and even if push comes to shove, Conferred Queen Isabella is ready to help me in order to make me faithful to her as her subordinate completely."
"I seriously doubt that..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim retorted, "The way you look at Conferred Queen is clearly different, and in the future, I doubt a person of your caliber would be simply satisfied with being a mere subordinate..."
Davis smiled, "You're free to imagine whatever you want, but if you dare to interfere in our revenge, I'll leak the information of the Forsaken Phoenix Realm to the entire Fifty-Two Territories."
"You dare!?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim's pupils dilated as his undulations flared.
The maelstrom of the monumental undulations hit right at Davis and Claire's face, causing them to feel suppressed by the tremendous pressure of the Law Rune Stage's energy!
Davis felt constricted and shouldered much of the weight of the pressure as he stood in front of his mother. He didn't cower, keeping his eyes wide open as much as possible. He felt as if a mountain was weighing on him, trying to crush him! With difficulty, he opened his mouth.
"I don't care if I become a sinner of the Alstreim Family, the Loret Family, or the entire Forsaken Phoenix Realm. I'll do what it takes to achieve what I want, even if it means stepping over a billion corpses whom I have no connection with!"
Davis and Ancestor Dian Alstreim stared at each other as killing intent brewed in their eyes. Their undulations flared, trying to suppress each other's, but it was obvious that Davis was on the losing end as soon as their battle of suppression started.
Davis's undulations weakened at an increasingly rapid rate, and his legs almost caved in!
Claire panicked as she looked at the spectacle.
"Stop!"
It was as if they were magical words that made both of them stop looking at each other with killing intent. Their undulations slowly receded before there were just the three of them, staring at each other in scrutiny and mixed feelings.
"Ancestor, it's fine if you try to stop me..." Claire spoke while Ancestor Dian Alstreim frowned in response.
He was angered by Davis's rudeness and threatening, but he was still in the mood of lending an ear to the victim. Furthermore, he was surprised to hear Claire's statement.
If he stopped them, how could they possibly have their revenge?
Claire continued.
"I'll have no choice but to abandon my revenge if you were to stop us. I'll leave the family and side with the Conferred Queen. In any case, I am also Young Mistress's subordinate, and she said that she welcomes us all into her power. Even if I am bound to have a worse fate in following Conferred Queen Isabella, it surely must be better than staying in this family that won't even allow me to get the justice I deserve."
Ancestor Dian Alstreim inwardly sighed. He lamented that he could not get them to give up taking revenge. However, them threatening him with the Forsaken Phoenix Realm was something that he could not endure. He felt that they were going overboard in trying to take advantage of his patience.
What kind of existence was he? An ancestor-level expert who protects the entire family, yet here he was, trying to patiently listen to their words. Even he was stumped by his own patience and mused that he must be getting old.
However, that wasn't the point he was worried about.
'Do these children even know what they are talking about?'
If they sided with the Conferred Queen, wouldn't their Forsaken Phoenix Realm belong to another power? Forget another power; it would become an all-out war between many powers. The Fifty-Two Territories that entered a period of peace with no prominent wars will once again fall into an abyss of bloodshed.
As a person who wanted growth and not wasteful bloodshed, he didn't want to see such a sight.
But, to step over a billion corpses that he has no connection with?
"I understand your determination..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim decided to make a compromise, "I will not interfere with your revenge."
Claire became taken aback. That's all it took?
She creased her brows in suspicion, "How can I believe Ancestor? Swear on your law-heart."
"I can... However, know that I will not help both sides in that case. You can all call me for help, but keep in mind that means you will lose your qualifications to pursue your revenge."
Claire knew that this favor was because of Davis's talent, so she was not surprised that the Ancestor would try to lend a hand in their pinch, "I accept this proposition. It is only fair that I lost the qualifications to take revenge after being defeated or ending up dead. Getting to save our lives is about the best result we can achieve after failing to fulfill what I came here for!"
"Besides, I believe that Ancestor is not a person who will purposefully make things difficult for us so as to make us call in for aid..." Claire's eyes flashed in a cunning light.
"Of course..."
Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded his head in satisfaction. At least, he felt that Claire was still not lost in the chaotic emotions of revenge that could make a person insane, losing sight of everything that should be important to them. It wasn't as if he was any stranger to being lost in the swirling emotions of revenge.
It was addictive, and the feeling of fulfilling it is, by far, one of the best emotions he had ever experienced. However, what comes after that is a feeling of loss, and the realization of what and all he lost during this time.
He could only find solace at the fact that at least, this little lass Claire knew when to back down with her statement just now.
"I have another condition." Ancestor Dian Alstreim suddenly uttered.
Davis and Claire frowned.
Another condition? Just when they accepted the proposition?
"You all cannot kill Nora Alstreim. In truth, I want-"
"Kill? Heh, don't make me laugh." Claire suddenly giggled as a glint of flame emerged from her eyes, "She was someone I wholeheartedly respected, and it was unbelievable for me to think that she would've schemed against me. I thought we were rivals!"
"What she had done to me was nothing short of betrayal!"
Claire clenched her fists in anger as she felt complex emotions.
"I should not kill Nora Alstreim...? Sure! I will make her experience a life worse than death. Since she tried to make my life miserable by having her subordinate, Immeth Alstreim, seal my cultivation base in the secret entrance of the Forsaken Phoenix Realm, I'll make her life... miserable!"
