Chapter 3582: Kronos Alistair
Kronos Alistair couldn't help but look ahead and smile at Queen Nadija's beautiful eyes, "Perhaps even make a family with her like you did with your women, senior..."
"Ahaha. That's funny."
The Divine Emperor of Death laughed suddenly, causing him to come out of his reverie.
"What is funny? I'm serious."
He narrowed his brows, appearing solemn.
The Divine Emperor of Death stared at him for a second before he smiled.
"Then the way you are going about it is sick. I know you won't hesitate to commit evil deeds, and I know we Divergents have to resort to extremity more times than a normal person would have to go even survive, but if you're willing to commit evil against your child's mother, then you would be no different than your father I guess."
"..."
Kronos Alistair stared back at the Divine Emperor of Death, his eyelids quivering ever so lightly before he snorted.
"Heh~ All of that is naive talk in this cruel world as the strong take what they want. I'm sure you have oppressed one or two in your harem into submitting to you."
"Hmm... I guess I did." The Divine Emperor of Death appeared contemplative as he looked elsewhere, "My wives Bylai and Zestria were originally war prisoners, but still, I didn't force myself on them as they came to want me and then later love me."
"No matter what, that is still oppression, senior. Now, move out of my way. I don't want to fight you out of respect."
Kronos Alistair's smiling expression faded before he waved his hand, causing the Immortal Emperors behind him, who had just finished their group attack, to fall into empty space before they turned to look at him, only to be sent flying as a wave of darkness energy sloshed forwards like water and encapsulated them.
*Puchi!~*
However, a reincarnation spear ripped through the temporal layer, causing time to return to normalcy, which allowed the Immortal Emperors to break free from Kronos Alistair's darkness energy.
The Divine Emperor of Death had his hand reached out, whereupon he imposed his presence as he unleashed his soul undulations.
"Yeah, then go ahead and try. Your life, your belongings... I'll take everything for myself as my other title is the Bandit Emperor who steals from the wicked and good foes alike."
"Hehe, I want to see how you can do it!"
Kronos Alistair soared into the air, and the Divine Emperor of Death followed suit.
Kronos Alistair glared at the Divine Emperor of Death, face-to-face, as he recollected their first encounter.
Fifty seconds. Fifty seconds... was all it took for him to fall in battle.
The Divine Emperor of Death had seen through all his attacks and possessed a shocking amount of soul force that he wasn't afraid to waste and actually overpowered him, an Immortal Emperor, and then proceeded to behead him with an iridescent wheel that put a shocking pressure on him, petrifying him to death. He got intimidated and wasn't able to use Time Laws in time.
That's why he had chosen to flee at the second encounter but still died to the Divine Emperor of Death's assassination arts, the iridescent wheel overwhelming in a similar way.
This was the third encounter and he didn't think he could survive by fleeing again, choosing to face the Divine Emperor of Death without retreat.
"Senior, I am Kronos Alistair. You have an iridescent wheel with a deathly wolf that you plan to use to defeat me, but it's better that you don't."
"...!?"
The Divine Emperor of Death looked taken aback, "Have we met before...?"
"Have you used any avatar techniques to spy on me?"
"Even if I did, I wouldn't admit to it, would I?"
Kronos Alistair shook his head wryly while looking down before he raised his head the Divine Emperor of Death to stare at him before nodding.
"Fair enough. So what's the reason you are here for?
"I'm here to- "Kronos Alistair paused, thinking slightly before he answered.
"To court Queen Nadija."
"...!?"
The people who were intrigued by the two Divergents were shocked, but Queen Nadija was even more shocked.
"Do you two have some history?"
The Divine Emperor of Death turned to look at Queen Nadija, where she vehemently shook her head, causing him to return his gaze.
"You aren't here to kidnap her, are you?"
"What is she to you anyway?" Kronos Alistair narrowed his eyes.
He had been eying Queen Nadija for a long time.
"A friend's benefactor." The Divine Emperor of Death responded casually, "If Queen Nadija is in trouble or faces harm, I have assured my friend that the ones who try to harm her will suffer."
"Is that so?"
Kronos Alistair grinned coldly yet inwardly. He was cursing his bad luck.
He had heard the Divine Emperor of Death was somewhat reasonable person but reason could only go so far and to top it off, Queen Nadija now has his protection. At this rate, it seems like he wouldn't be able to obtain Queen Nadija, causing him to clench his teeth.
"Fine."
He blurted out with reluctance before he turned around, "Then I'll take my leave."
"Who said you can leave?"
"..."
Kronos Alistair inwardly grumbled. In the previous two encounters, didn't he say that he should scram within a few seconds!?
"Say, are you able to look into the future?"
"...!"
His heart skipped a beat as he heard the ridiculous words from the Divine Emperor of Death.
A normal person wouldn't even think of that, as this feat wasn't possible without using divination, and even then, there would only be visions for Mystic Diviners and not have a clear view, allowing him to play as he pleased in real-time.
"So the answer is yes, but your heart is too chaotic."
The Divine Emperor of Death appeared to be intrigued, "Hmm... oh well- It seems like I'm going to attack you. By any chance, do you want it to play it out just like the future you predicted?"
Kronos Alistair heaved a sigh and turned to look at the Divine Emperor of Death.
"I can't predict the future."
"...?"
The Divine Emperor of Death of raised his brows as though he was confused.
"Great, my Heart Intent garners both your answers are true according to your true emotions. So... if you can't predict the future, then are you reliving the past to know the future? Like a time loop?"
The Divine Emperor of Death rotated his hands, appearing curious, "You get it? But... that shouldn't be possible, or you should be receiving an extreme punishment from the heavens. Is there something else I am not seeing?"
"..."
Kronos Alistair stared at this monster who was able to garner what he was capable of with just a few questions while when he fought, his time-attributed attacks were seen through and dealt with before an overwhelming attack finished him off.
If he moved strangely, he would be attacked as the other party's focus was fully on him. It was clear he couldn't lie his way out, either.
Was there no way he could escape from this monster?
