Chapter 799 - Leon\'s Choice
"Why does the Eternal Night Demon Empress still need to detonate her inner world after killing the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor?"
Shortly after Aria raised that question, Leon realized he had nearly missed such a critical detail in the story.
"Right…" he uttered.
"If the Eternal Night Demon Empress killed the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor and even dropped the core away from the central island after fusing her daughter in the Radiant Heaven Realmship\'s heart, why did she still need to detonate her inner world?"
As Leon pondered this point, he remembered that there were other opponents who could rival the Eternal Night Demon Empress—if not surpass her in strength.
"Was it the Black Turtle God Beast?" he wondered.
However, he quickly shook his head in the next moment.
"No, the Black Turtle God Beast was neutral and outraged by the Radiant Sword Celestial Emperor\'s scheme—so much so that it forced the Great Void Celestial Conqueror to seal it under the Bone Sea…" Leon muttered.
Hearing that, Aria asked, "Then the one who forced the Eternal Night Demon Empress to detonate her inner world was the Great Void Celestial Conqueror?"
"But that almost doesn\'t make much sense…" Aria quickly furrowed her brows before adding further, "How sturdy is this floating island to be able to withstand the blast?"
"You can\'t really say the central island withstood the detonation when half its bottom is missing, and even the entire main-circuit building is laid to ruins," Leon said wryly.
In fact, there wasn\'t really a main-circuit building left.
The only thing proving it once existed was the bottommost frame of the building; the walls and ceilings were all gone.
Supposedly, there is even a big gaping hole right down the center where the black coffin is, but it is clear that someone patched up the hole.
"Master and this young lady are on the right track; it was indeed the Great Void Celestial Conqueror who forced the Eternal Night Demon Empress into a dead end," Tak-si nodded.
"However, the Eternal Night Demon Empress didn\'t purposely detonate her inner world; it cracked under the Great Void Celestial Conqueror\'s powerful attack, leading to a mini detonation. A full-powered detonation would have reduced the central island into nothing."
Sometime later, Leon, Aria, and the silent Darlene gradually learned everything about the past event as the realm spirit explained everything truthfully.
In the final battle, the Eternal Night Demon Empress\'s damaged inner world injured the Great Void Celestial Conqueror, forcing the person to flee with the rest of the Celestials without retrieving the Radiant Heaven Realmship.
They didn\'t want to be contaminated and corrupted by the Eternal Night Demon Empress\'s dark power.
And to further guarantee that it would never spread to other worlds, the Great Void Celestial Conqueror sealed the world with a powerful spatial lock.
"So this is the truth of the world…" Leon muttered with his surprised eyes fixed on the black coffin ahead. "To think that the Eternal Night Demon Empress is still alive after all that…"
"Yes, Master," Tak-si nodded and said, "No matter what, a descendant of a True Divinity is still a descendant of a True Divinity; even if they are not everlasting, their lifeforce is especially tenacious."
"But right now, the Eternal Night Demon Empress\'s life is so feeble that anyone can snuff out her life candle," Leon said before adding, "This is why you want to keep me away, huh? You were afraid I\'ll kill the Eternal Night Demon Empress."
"Y-yes, Master."
Tak-si\'s voice trembled with mixed tones as if the little girl had answered at the same time it did.
Leon kept a calm and collected expression without revealing his intention while making his way through the glowing flowers before standing right in front of the black coffin.
Tak-si and the little girl were alarmed, but they didn\'t stop him.
"Noo, don\'t hurt my mother!" the little girl cried.
…Or rather, the little girl wanted to stop Leon, but Tak-si did all he could to keep her in place while placing his hopes on the fact that Leon could sympathize with demons.
He had seen it.
However, seeing Leon approach the Eternal Night Demon Empress\'s black coffin without a word made Tak-si feel restless.
Even Darlene and Aria revealed slight creases in their brows.
If Leon wanted to kill the Eternal Night Demon Empress, they would accept it—even if it made them feel uncomfortable after hearing the person\'s pitiful story.
"M-Master?" Tak-si uttered with concern.
"Logically speaking, the Eternal Night Demon Empress\'s existence poses too much of a threat, and I should eliminate her for the prosperity of humans—" Leon spoke while glancing inside the black coffin.
"No!"
With strong resistance, the little girl quickly shouted through Tak-si\'s mouth, but Leon wasn\'t finished speaking.
"However, compared to demons, humans are too treacherous," Leon said with a smile, "So I don\'t know whether this is the right decision to make, but I will not do anything to the Eternal Night Demon Empress; you have my word."
He had already given it some thought.
The Eternal Night Demon Empress\'s daughter has become one with the realm spirit.
Since he will eventually bind the Radiant Heaven Realmship, he will be forming an undeniable relationship with the Eternal Night Demon Empress\'s daughter.
Thus, there was a chance he could have the backing of Eternal Night Demon Empress—if she ever recovers.
Nevertheless, everyone was relieved to hear Leon\'s choice.
"Thank you, Master," the realm spirit said sincerely.
It was unknown whether Tak-si or the little girl spoke, or perhaps they both did; Leon couldn\'t tell, but the realm spirit\'s following words became clear to him.
"On behalf of my mother, we will forever remember your grace, Master," the little girl expressed her gratitude in her adorable small form.
Aria could not help but approach her with a smile and pinch the adorable little girl\'s cute cheeks before turning to Leon.
"Sometimes, I start to wonder if humans are any better than demons, or maybe treacherous humans are the real demons… Is there something wrong with me for thinking like this?" she asked.
