Chapter 19: Moving

Adams looked at the sect buildings and considered rebuilding them, but decided against it. As he moved on, he was blocked by Griffith Lovigary, the emperor of the Lovigary Empire.

"Young man, are you going to let him be like that?" Griffith asked, pointing at Frank, who was still crying bitterly.

"Oh, about him? Do with him as you wish," Adams replied nonchalantly. "He's not going to die, so you can just put him away in a secluded place if you want. I've done what I wanted to do to him."

Griffith's eyes widened in surprise. The notion that Frank couldn't die was astonishing. Even in the entire Divine Continent, nobody had eternal life. Divine sage cultivators could die at the end of their lifespan unless they ascended to a higher realm. Who was this young man who could grant someone complete immunity to death, yet make it a living hell?

The Lockhart and Baston families approached, asking about their children. Adams gave them a death stare that made them back away. They quickly took their children and flew away.

"Why don't you come with us back to the Imperial Palace?" Griffith suggested. "Since you've disposed of the current duke and head of your family, you can be the current duke and head of your family."

Adams scoffed. "I have no desire to be a duke in your kingdom. As for the rest of the Alberts who were innocent, I shall take them with me. So, no thanks."

"Alright, if you insist. Just know that the door of our empire is always open for you," Griffith offered.

"Actually, the doors of all the empires are open for me. If there's an empire where they aren't, that empire might not exist for long. And isn't the Lovigary Empire a safe haven for us humans?" Adams said with a smile, staring at all the leaders and proxies of some absent leaders. A chill ran down their spines, seeing what he had done.

"I will be taking Mabel and Awar with me. Will there be a problem?" Adams continued.

Griffith and Ahazu, the emperor of the Sloth Empire, exchanged uneasy glances. What did he mean by taking their children?

Ahazu, confused, asked Adams to repeat himself.

"I don't like repeating myself. If you didn't get it the first time, ask him," Adams said, nodding towards Griffith. "Goodbye."

"No, there's nothing like that," Mabel quickly replied, blushing.

"Hahaha, not now, but with time," Adams said.

Jack was heartbroken, seeing his long-time crush being stolen before his eyes.

Not long after, Anderson arrived and whispered something to Adams, who stood up and said, "Alright, since everything is settled, let's get going."

The Js all stood up, leaving only Mabel and Awar.

"Including you guys," Adams said.

"I have toget back to the Imperial Palace. My father might be worried about me," Mabel said.

"No problem, I've already taken care of that," Adams assured her.

Awar looked at Adams, studying him. Sensing no ill intent, Awar stood up and joined the Js, leaving Mabel alone.

"Come on, love, let's go," Adams coaxed. "Don't worry, you will see him someday. He has given me permission to take you away with me."

Mabel sighed, finally giving in, and joined them.

Adams led the group to the Albert estate, gathering all the surviving members and putting them into his space world. As he prepared to leave the capital to begin his adventure across the Divine Plane, he looked at his followers and his future wife, and said, "Let me give you what I promised you before."

With determination in his eyes, Adams set out to explore the Divine Plane, confident in his strength and the bonds he had forged.
