Divine Emperor of Death

"Ha!"

Lereza pulled her vines back, causing the captured beasts to be yanked towards them.

"…!"

The Reaper Soul Legion became incredibly uncomfortable with the captured beasts right in front of them. A few others were also unsure if allowing them to be near was completely safe as these were insects.

They might just spit some poison out, and it was all over for them. However, Davis sent them a soul transmission.

"Don't panic. Lereza is an Everlasting Ivyblade Thorn Spirit Fey. Her vines are incredibly resilient and possess extreme regenerative capabilities, so they'd quickly stitch back even if they were severed. However, her thorns are the most dangerous."

"Not only does her thorn's pink shades of blight act as a dulling agent that makes one go limp, but her thorns could even turn into blades and slice through with the speed and power of a whip. If they made a move, it is of little doubt that they will turn into mincemeat in a second, and I'm sure these beasts could also feel the dread…"

Hearing Davis's words, Yotan and the others relaxed.

"You-"

The golden queen ant struggled, finding out that she was unable to revert back to human form to escape. Her body seemed to be injected with some kind of substance from the thorns that stabbed into her, making her clench her mandibles.

She tried to chew on vines as she had confidence she could chew through everything. However, she finally met an opponent where she wasn't able to do anything. Her body went limp, and her mandibles relaxed, causing her to look at the woman called Lereza with a gaze full of horror.

She had lost control of her body! She didn't know why she hadn't sensed her first amongst these entities, thinking it was a mistake to come here.

"Pu~"

Stella pouted.

She wanted to take these beasts down, but she guessed she might've had to beat them up badly first and engage in an uphill battle. On the other hand, Lereza managed to restrain them without making them put up much of a fight. She knew this kind of show of force worked well against beasts that worship strength as everything.

"Don't move. Don't struggle. Otherwise, don't blame me for causing you soul damage."

Lereza flew in the air, appearing before the golden queen ant.

She reached out her arm and placed her hand on the golden queen ant's forehead.

"Aaah!"

"Lereza!"

Davis flinched as he saw Lereza quickly backpedal like she had been stabbed in the soul. He was instantly worried and appeared before her, touching her shoulder to check on her, but she flinched again, maintaining some distance from him.

"…"

Davis blinked. Why did her ears seem red, like she was blushing hard?

"Are you okay?" Still, he asked.

Lereza clenched her teeth, pointing at him.

"She… she regularly engages in what you do!"

Then she quickly scampered away to the Nine Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace, looking like she was going to go back.

Davis was dumbfounded before he nodded his head understandingly.

'Ah… right… ant queens have an orgy every now and then to enrich their colony…'

Davis didn't know what to say to this obvious finding. It seemed that this ant queen recently had some fun for Lereza to chance upon it first while soulscouring, but still, what did she mean by that he has an orgy?

An orgy requires a minimum of six people on the bed in his books, and he had never reached such a level, nor did he want to! After all, his intent in dual cultivation was to make love and not engage in depravity, so the fewer people there were on his bed at a time, the better the experience and sharing of emotions.

Yet, he got accused of such blasphemy.

Davis wanted to retort and throw this accusation at Drake, but he needed Lereza right now to obtain more information.

Lea could also soulscour, but if Calypsea sensed any animosity, it was possible that she would burn their souls in an instant. He didn't want Calypsea to come out as she was one of their trump cards.

As for the others, he didn't want their souls to get injured, as there was the possibility of backlash.

These sentient beasts were all Level Nine Immortal Emperors, after all.

Fortunately, Lereza just harrumphed a few seconds later and went to soulscour the crimson scorpion of her own accord.

"Many thanks, Fairy Lereza~"

He cupped his hands and said loudly, but Lereza didn't bother and continued to soulscour this time. Half a minute later, she went to the sandworm and soulscoured it as well.

After a minute, she let go of them all, but they were all too drugged to move, barely maintaining consciousness. Only their leaders and golden ants were awake, while all the others went to sleep.

As for the other beasts that had tried to gang up from other directions, they decisively fled after seeing Lereza's powers.

From this, Davis understood that there was a form of territory battle going on here, and he might've just landed in an area that may or may not belong to the ants.

At this moment, Lereza came back, her expression sulky as she averted her eyes.

"Next time, I'm not doing these things."

"Alright." Davis wryly smiled.

How could leaders not engage in an orgy with their harem, especially when they were magical beasts? Only... soulscouring while ignoring certain memories was possible as long as there was enough experience, so Lereza likely ignored those scenes and only absorbed the required information.

She was caught off guard the first time, and it won't likely happen again, but Davis knew Lereza disliked such things in the first place, so he didn't doubt she wouldn't do it again.

However, Lereza had seen him do things to his wives a bit while she was peeking in the name of visiting, so he knew she also had some healthy thoughts about it.

He didn't expose her, but he listened to the report as Lereza started shedding light on their circumstances.

"Oh? There's a human settlement to about three hundred million kilometers to the east?"

Davis raised his brows.

The fact that there was a human settlement here could mean this probably was not an undiscovered Minor Realm, making him have mixed feelings about it. Myria also narrowed her brows, feeling something odd.

"Then what is this place called?
