Chapter 3579 Showing Off Speed?
Davis shrugged, returning his gaze to Nyoran.
"What do you want me to do, Nyoran? My hands are tied here since Queen Nadija implied that I shouldn't interfere."
"Queen Nadija..."
Nyoran turned to look at the person in question, "I-"
"Nyoran, I can take care of myself."
However, Queen Nadija raised her hand, stopping Nyoran from saying anything.
"On the other hand, you need to leave and never come back, or else you'll be on trial for trying to leave, especially with an Anarchic Divergent. You were already insulted for traveling with the Emperor of Death instead of making relations with the Ghostly Crow Clan in the true immortal world, so they'll truly take this chance to dispose of you."
"I did not plan on staying as I am a Divergent."
Nyoran wryly smiled, but she still had her gaze on Queen Nadija.
"If you were forced, then I would do everything in my power to crush the opposing forces to free you."
"Nyoran..." Queen Nadija sighed, "Just go. I'll take it up from here. Besides, Black Tyriel doesn't seem to be interested in me as he publicly stated that Rea Tyriel would be his only wife, so you wouldn't have to worry about him or even worry about me getting married to some average beast or fey."
Nyoran stared for a few more seconds, her gaze worried, before she closed her eyes and nodded her head.
"Then, good fortune, my lady~"
Nyoran stood up and cupped her hands, causing Davis and Queen Nadija to also stand up.
"There's no need to leave with me. Come to my city when you're ready. My people will always welcome you."
Davis smiled at Nyoran, causing her to look at him gratefully.
"I can't wait."
Nyoran uttered before the three of them walked out of the chamber.
Davis was about to leave when he suddenly saw Queen Nadija's expression turn solemn.
She flew outside, picking a messaging talisman that rang as it glowed with resonation. At the same time, Davis felt numerous senses fall on him.
He narrowed his brows, wondering if he was getting locked up again, but that didn't seem to be the case.
Nyoran looked left and right before she grabbed Davis's hand and flew out of the castle.
Outside, they saw smoke rising near the gates where they had come from, appearing like something had broken through and the area around the castle was burning.
"Ahahahaha! Ha!?"
Everything seemed to slow down within his perception. Time seemed to be slowing down. He could still see the others trying to attack the Time Divergent who escaped. Perhaps in their perspective, they caught him red-handed as they were smiling, but for Davis, the strange jade-black energy he perceived to be time energy didn't affect his senses.
Perhaps it had to do with the fact that he was an avatar and his senses connected with the main body, but he guessed his senses weren't affected because the Time Divergent wasn't as powerful as he seemed.
His perception came from the soul and not through the soul and brain like his main body, so it was unimpeded by the jade-black energy in the atmosphere.
"Break!"
Davis harrumphed coldly and lifted his hand. A string of reincarnation energy passed through the loop of his fingers and formed an iridescent black-white spear. As soon as it solidified into the mini-version of Spear of Damnation, its mysterious undulations broke the temporal change in the surroundings, finally causing everyone to be freed.
*Boom!!~*
Their attacks clashed at where the Time Divergent had been standing.
However, Davis dodged their attacks with a curve along the path and followed after the Time Divergent, quickly catching up to the Time Divergent's speed as his speed didn't seem to be as fast as himself.
Without any warning, Davis threw the reincarnation spear, unleashing it against the Time Divergent.
*Bzzz!~*
The reincarnation spear pierced through the space, tearing a straight line. Even against the spatial resistance, it didn't seem to lose speed and went piercing towards the Time Divergent.
*Shh!~*
But suddenly, the Time Divergent disappeared from Davis's gaze, causing his eyes to narrow.
The reincarnation spear missed the target, but Davis had immense control over the minor version of the Spear of Damnation, which allowed him to retrieve it. He stopped, looking into the distance as he sensed the Time Divergent had teleported about sixty thousand kilometers away without even giving a single clue of spatial undulations.
However, Davis could sense the dense amount of energy shuddering around him, quickly turning remnant. Moreover, there was a certain amount of dissonance he felt with the main body while being enveloped in this dense amount of energy surrounding him.
Davis could tell this was time energy, but that meant...
'Did he just... stop time...?'
His eyes went wide as he had always thought this had been impossible with the way the space-time aligned itself with universe's balance! As far as he knew, the speed of time could only be increased through the usage of Space Laws and Time Laws and even then, stopping time had been publicly known as an impossible feat!
Even in the true immortal world, it was truer as space was difficult to control there, and there was much less time.
However, he only sensed Time Laws here mixed with a tinge of Darkness Laws.
This eclipsed his knowledge, momentarily stopping Davis from reconsidering his options of chasing the Time Divergent as something didn't seem right.
'He ran... without even looking me in the eye...?'
As fast as Davis responded, the reaction time of the Time Divergent was impeccable. Was he being monitored by the Time Divergent? Or did he have some treasure that warned him of some dangers somehow?
Nonetheless, the Time Divergent's fleeing speed certainly wasn't fast, causing Davis to quickly resume his chase as he was willing to sacrifice this avatar to eliminate a possible threat.
Stopping time?
He did not appreciate his enemies having that kind of power, and since he had already attacked, there was no choice but to chase him unless they could come to some kind of understanding. However, considering that this Divergent ahead of him had destroyed a major power with his Destructive Immortal Tribulation without announcing any sort of justification, Davis wondered if he would be sane enough to have a conversation.
