Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2010: Affirmation Of Her Existence

Chapter 2010: Affirmation Of Her Existence

Davis kept waiting for Ellia to speak.
Even after a few minutes passed, Davis didn't take his eyes off Myria, looking deep into her eyes.
Myria remained unmoving.
Her eyes were looking at the windy zone in the skies. Her veil had already come off sometime, probably when she used reincarnation energy to battle Davis amidst the spatial storms. Her beautiful countenance could make any man go crazy for her. However, she didn't even bother with Davis's constant stare at this moment, her expression remaining placid as though she wouldn't be shaken by what was to come.
But abruptly, there was a certain change in her eyes as she shifted her head, glancing at Davis. Her eyelids started to quiver, and tears spilled out of her eyes, her lips curving as though she was full of sorrow.
"Kill me…"
"Ellia…" Davis produced a smile on hearing her voice before his eyes narrowed, "What's going on? Are you suppressed by Myria?"
"No…" Ellia spoke in a low voice as she sobbed, "You don't understand."
"…"
Davis became taken aback before he unceremoniously nodded, "True, I don't understand your full situation. How about you explain to me and let me check your soul sea so that I can truly know that you're Ellia?"
"It's useless… I… there's only one soul, but there are two imprints. You won't understand."
"Two imprints, you say..."
Davis's eyes flashed, but before he could say anything, Ellia continued as she raised her severed arm and touched his cheek, "Just kill me… in this life, we weren't meant to be. I'll only bring you harm."
"Ahaha. What's there to harm?" Davis gently chuckled before his eyes became sharp, "Ellia, if you believe me, tell me all you know. There's nothing that can't be unraveled, so tell me why Myria and even you are convinced that destiny will make us battle to the death."
Ellia stared at his bloody face, tears flowing in an unending stream, "Myria fainted… it won't be long before I faint..."
"Would this help?"
Davis removed his hand from her neck and placed it on her and placed it on her forehead, Fallen Heaven's life energy pouring into her soul, soothing her soul essence.
Ellia bit her lips, feeling a sense of comfort washing over her. The drowsiness instantly left. However, Myria, who had gone asleep, stayed asleep.
Numerous emotions washed over Ellia as she looked at Davis. He wasn't even healing himself first but chose to heal her battered soul. Her soul wasn't harmed, but it was washed with exhaustion that couldn't be restored without sleep. If she fainted, it wouldn't be until two or three days until she woke up, perhaps taking even more days, feeling groggy all over.
An urge to hug Davis surged in Ellia. However, she quelled that desire and spoke.
"I don't know what to say, Prince Davis... but for a start, could you stop sitting on me?"
Ellia blushed as she looked away while Davis couldn't help but shake his head.
"I'm not in a good state myself to be sympathizing with your plight. Moreover, this is your body, so why bother? Aren't you mine?"
Ellia opened and closed her mouth, her heart starting to beat rapidly, but a difficult expression appeared on her face as she shook her head.
"No, I'm born from thin air. I don't have a father or mother. This is Myria's body."
"…!"
Davis became stunned on hearing Ellia's statement.
"Please believe me. I'm telling the truth…!" Ellia clamored in a weak voice, "Please stand up. I will not let anyone sully mother."
Her voice was shaking as she said these words.
Davis looked at Ellia closely and saw that she was in anguish over him and Myria, even calling Myria her mother to his shock. To him, it seemed like Ellia really cared about Myria, making him feel like a villain. However, he considered for a moment but still shook his head.
"Even so, I don't have the luxury to care about that. I can only relax once I affirm that you truly are my Ellia, so forgive me."
Davis's expression was sorrowful as his soul sense abruptly entered Ellia's soul sea from the finger he placed on her forehead, causing her to become stiff. Instantly, a painful expression appeared on her face. Her body's instincts were deeply resisting him, but the body itself was powerless to resist.
A strand of soul sense entered an illuminated space, turning into Davis. As he surveyed his surroundings, he saw that one side was dark and the other side was full of light. At this moment, a gaseous figure appeared beside him in an icy-blue robe, instantly turning into Ellia.
"Do you really have to do this? Myria will be angered if she came to know of this matter."
"I don't care." Davis waved his hand, "That woman can be angered all she wants. What I want to save is you, Ellia. I don't even know for sure if you're Myria, so if I can go near your soul essence, some things would be made clear."
"Don't be like that. Myria helped me collect many gifts for you in the Eastern Magical Beast Territories, even for Evelynn and the others. She accepted you as the one who protected me, willing to promise me to you as long as you showed promise. Please, you cannot do this~"
Ellia begged in a pleading voice.
"…"
Davis's expression was stiff.
He recalled Myria trying to recruit him as a disciple all the while battling until she learned that he possessed Fallen Heaven. Is this what it was about?
Myria had already chosen to give him Ellia?
Davis didn't dare believe it for a second, but Ellia didn't look like she was telling lies either.
However, hardening his heart, his expression became cold. He flew towards the place where the soul essence could likely be.
Davis used Fallen Heaven's life energy in very low amounts, only enough to soothe her soul, which caused Ellia to stay awake and Myria to remain asleep. Perhaps, the moment he stopped using it, Myria would become awake when judged from his experience.
Therefore, whatever he had come for, he had to see it soon.
Davis couldn't find Ellia's soul essence instantly but took some time but considering Myria's prowess, this much was expected. On the other hand, Ellia followed him around, looking sorrowful. Her expression was stuck between choosing him and Myria, unable to do anything as she didn't lead him nor block his path, so he didn't blame her either.
Davis stood floating in a spot, his face dumbstruck.
"The Eternal Life Soul…"
As he looked at the soul essence swirling with the essence of life and death, he was completely floored. Just by looking at it, he could feel his comprehension of Death Laws and Life Laws increasing. Moreover, there was a burst of life energy swirling around it. It was none other than Fallen Heaven's life energy keeping her from reaching an exhausted state.
"Please don't harm Myria..."
Davis turned to look at Ellia, witnessing her trembling with a fearful expression on her face. It caused his brows to narrow, making him think if she was wary of Fallen Heaven, the only entity in the world that could probably kill Myria for good. As for Myria claiming that she would reincarnate to kill him later, that was only if he dealt a killing blow by himself.
Perhaps, her angered words towards him were also to provoke him into killing her, thinking that all paths were lost. If he was not a cautious individual and hated her, he really might've fallen for her tricks.
"Don't worry. I'm only here to look."
Davis spoke in a comforting tone before shooting into that sphere of soul essence. Instantly, he came across two figures floating in the swirl of life and death energy. Both of them appeared to be deep asleep as though they were vertically floating in the water.
While they both looked the same, everything from their head to toe, it didn't take him much to understand that it was none other than Myria and Ellia because the latter was actually dressed in the Loret Empire's maid outfit that thoroughly shocked him although he understood that it was the direct amalgamation of the beings they viewed themselves.
Even Myria shouldn't be willing to stoop this low if she was still somehow conscious and wanted to fool him.
'The manifestation of imprints… Ellia is there… good! Good!'
Davis finally relaxed as a huge wave of relief washed over him, and the moment he did so, the thought of investigating their soul imprints emerged in his mind as he looked for it but couldn't find it. Back then, Tina, who was in a state of coma, also had a manifestation floating in her soul essence that he used his voice to wake up, but he couldn't find her soul imprint.
'There's no way I'll be able to find Ellia's soul imprint if I couldn't find Tina's...'
Feeling disappointed, he could only retreat.
After all, only Fallen Heaven could erase it. It likely wouldn't be able to find it as it hadn't told him about its location even though it had a technique that could erase it. Perhaps, the soul imprint was hidden in the Spirit Essence, which was said to measure one's Soul Forging Cultivation's talent.
However, the Spirit Essence itself was said to be hidden in the soul sea or even the soul essence and that only immortal energy or sense could find it.
Therefore, he decisively left instead of wasting time.
