"Yes."
Venerable Knight Lussandra answered calmly. She didn't bother with his duties or what kept her waiting.
"Alright, that seems agreeable. We both know it's an outcome based on how I can't spread my forces for more than three realms, so let's get this done with. I assume you have another True Soul Contract to bind me with?"
"Why waste a True Soul Contract when it doesn't affect you? I'm just here to get your word. If you break it, I will no longer have any misgivings."
"…"
Davis couldn't help but smile at that comment.
"I'm glad my word at least has some value."
He nodded thrice, "Good, then let it be that way. My Davis Family and I will not conquer more than three Lower Realms. As for Minor Realms, I couldn't be bothered to conquer them with such low returns."
"What are you planning?" Venerable Knight Lussandra asked.
"With the Realm Cores? Nothing fancy or evil. Let's just say I have a way to use them and bestow my people with an incredible amount of energy. Thanks to it, my forces get stronger."
Venerable Knight Lussandra didn't seem surprised. She knew the reason why his forces were growing stronger day after day, month after month. Otherwise, she felt he wouldn't go out of his way to obtain the Realm Cores.
Regardless, she frowned, "You're ruining the realms."
She had read countless records where Realm Cores were treated as objects of karmic interest. If something happened to one of them, much less taken over by a Divergent, it would be treated as a disaster to the realm and bring all kinds of calamities into the fray.
She figured that the Vacuous Beasts that descended in this realm for the past year were mostly the Divine Emperor of Death's fault. Otherwise, she felt their appearance wouldn't be so frequent.
"You mean the one where my actions affected the Whispering Wildlands Lower Realm? I know."
Davis nodded, not denying that it was his fault, "I'm sorry. I'll be careful not to do that again."
"…"
Venerable Knight Lussandra was momentarily taken aback by his apology.
"If you're truly sorry, then give me some inside information about what you're doing with the Realm Cores, not just the surface ones."
"Oh? You're truly capable of thinking for yourself. The other Heaven's Warriors would just demand for me to die if I think I'm sorry."
Davis shook his head smilingly, "Hmm… let's see. I'll tell you if you share some information about the Exalt and Primarch Stages. My apology and your information should be enough to equalize the information I'm going to give you."
"No, thank you."
Venerable Knight Lussandra instantly rejected his deal.
"Hahaha!"
Davis laughed.
He had naturally learned some information about the two stages from the Heavenly Blight Hall. However, other than the fact that law comprehension was very important, they had two words mentioned-
"The Alpha and the Omega."
"…"
Venerable Knight Lussandra's brows widened, "How did you come to learn of those words?"
"I have my sources."
Davis shrugged before he flicked his sleeves, "If there's nothing else, I'll get back to my duties."
"Wait…"
Venerable Knight Lussandra suddenly uttered.
She flew towards him, standing before him, "Let's change places. Not even ordinary Exalts will know what you just mentioned."
Davis turned his head and gave a knowing smirk.
'I didn't know that…'
He inwardly laughed and thought, no wonder the Heavenly Blight Hall wasn't willing to share this information. It cost a lot even for him as the Fifth Dark Apostle, so he didn't bother to buy it, thinking he would eventually obtain it anyway.
Now, he threw a hook, and a fairy was caught it seems, although he didn't know how far he could take it.
"Stella, stop listening."
"Ehh…"
A disappointed voice echoed out before Stella came out from the void and flew into the palace.
Venerable Knight Lussandra blinked as she looked at the palace.
She wanted to be taken inside as she wanted to see what kind of important duty he had inside. However, with the Void Dust Empress going inside, there was no point.
Davis also didn't expect Stella to go inside the floating palace. Yotan was inside. Although he didn't remove her clothes, he guessed that she could be naked, waiting for him.
But since they were sisters, he thought it would be fine.
He summoned a flying boat and embarked on it.
"Hop on. We'll engage in a wonderful conversation as we roam the skies for a bit."
Davis invited Venerable Knight Lussandra.
She frowned at the choice of words, but she still got on the flying boat.
The flying boat embarked and flew to the skies.
"First, you reveal what you know about the Realm Core that we don't know."
"How am I supposed to know what you ancient people don't know? Wouldn't I be making a fool of myself to think that I know what you all don't know?"
"…"
Looking at Venerable Knight Lussandra looked like she was going to jump out and kill herself with how silent she was, Davis stopped teasing her.
"Still, I will tell, so if you already know, excuse my ignorance."
"This information might benefit humanity as a whole, so I eventually wanted to reveal it- but not to you but to the Celestial Transcendent. Can you promise me that you'll only reveal this to the Celestial Transcendent?"
"Why would you want to tell him only?"
"We're working together. You don't know?" Davis flinched back and looked surprised.
Venerable Knight Lussandra's eyes widened.
She looked as though she had received the shock of her life, causing Davis's cheeks to puff as he kept his mouth shut, barely suppressing himself from laughing out loud. He felt she was cute to be somewhat naive.
"Just kidding."
Davis chuckled, "Naturally, I want to repay him for the consideration he displayed towards me and you all. After that, we'll be back to square one. I'll kill him if I have the chance."
"…"
Venerable Knight Lussandra calmed. She heaved a sigh of relief, "You don't know what you're talking about. You won't even be able to defeat me, much less the Supreme One."
"Oh?"
Davis raised his brows with curiosity, but inwardly, his heart pounded.
He thought the human galaxy would be in turmoil after he defeated the Venerable Knights, but they were silent. At first, he considered they were going to make a big move, but no one even stronger descended to rattle his nest. At this point, he could tell that they were waiting for him to get to the Upper Realms.
However, the Venerable Knights didn't rush or force him.
It was as though they absolutely knew that if he appeared there, then they could crush him with ease.
From his battle with the Venerable Knights, he knew they were not idiots. Each one of them had perfected a Greater Law. If it weren't for chaos-destruction, then he knew he might've lost or been kicked out of the layers.
Now, Venerable Knight Lussandra casually uttered that he wouldn't be able to win even after they witnessed his incredible strength.
They weren't foolish, and he didn't see arrogance or ego in Venerable Knight Lussandra, so he could tell that she was certain that they could end him in the Upper Realms.
"It has to do with the Alpha and the Omega, no?"
"It does, but don't change the steps. You need to first tell me about the usage of the Realm Core. I agree to your demands. I'll only inform this to the Celestial Transcendent."
"Alright."
Davis nodded. He took a few seconds to recollect the ten known abilities of the Realm Core before he shared it.
