Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3

Chapter 3


After three days had pa.s.sed, Tian Long still hasn"t woken up . He suffers from headaches time to time which almost looks like he was suffering from a nightmare .


"What happened to this kid? Is he suffering from something? But the physician I hired told he was perfectly healthy for his age which is unusual in itself because he"s been in coma from the time he was born . "


"Is the heavens helping us?"


Grey found it difficult to understand this situation .


"Whatever, I"ll just report it to the higher ups . "


Grey opened the door and left the room .


After a few moments of silence in the room .


A child opened his eyes . He looked clean considering the situation he was in, probably cleaned by the physician or someone who took care of him .


"Where am I? What is this place? Why aren"t I dead?" Tian Long had a lot of doubts but the most he worried about was .


"What the h.e.l.l is this black thing in my soul?"


"Ehh…wait, I can sense my soul?" Tian Long was utterly confused .


"Alright, calm down me, if I think calmly, I will be able to make sense of this situation" Tian Long whispered to himself .


Tian Long took a deep breath to calm himself down . He started connecting the dots .


"The Death Note was destroyed in that spatial tunnel so I can no longer use it, but the black thing in my soul looks like a book, is it the Death Note? . But if it followed me into this world then it should"ve been able to kill me after exiting the spatial tunnel . If it didn"t kill me then I was right . The Death Note is restricted by the laws of universe . "


"This universe probably needs time to detect the arrival of an unknown object, so the Death Note was able to fulfil the condition of me being able to obtain a weak body below 20 years old . But it wasn"t able to kill me after 5 minutes meaning the Death Note either should"ve been destroyed or reset according to the laws of this universe . "


"But if this black thing is the Death Note, how was it able to infuse into my soul? Is it because I am the owner?"


"Yup, this should"ve been the case, it somewhat makes sense of the situation . "


Even though Tian Long had many doubts, he was able to make sense of this situation .


Tian Long got out of the bed and just when he tried to walk, he fell down .


"What!?"


He tried to stand up but he couldn"t so he crawled his way to the mirror in the corner of the room .


He looked around 36 inches, has fair skin, has a pair of blue eyes that looks adorable, while his face looked emaciated . His short blonde hair was messy . Has a tiny frame that is normal for 3 year old children .


"A 2 or 3 year child? An orphan? I guess it"s alright since I can perfectly blend into this environment"


"I don"t know who you are but sorry for possessing your body, I"m not going to make any excuses since I indirectly killed you"


Tian Long didn"t know that this child was in coma from the time he was born and was going to die 3 days ago .


"I swear that I will live your part as well . " Tian Long had complex feelings about killing an innocent child .



After Grey left the room, he headed for the Captain"s room .


*Knock*


"Come in" A voice could be heard from inside .


*Creek*


"Oh, Grey, what"s the matter?"


"Captain, it"s time I left the mercenaries . "


There was a moment of silence in the room .


"Sigh, did the 3 year period come to an end already? Time sure flies fast"


"Yes, I thank you for taking care of me in the mercenaries, the reward will be given once the people from the empire comes to pick me up . "


"Taking care of you? Protecting a man with a cultivation base higher than mine? You must be jesting . Is it the child?" The captain chuckled .


"You"ve already figured it out?"


"I have been together with you for almost 3 years, yes . If I can"t even figure that out I should just retire from being a mercenary . "


"Good thing you told me this just now, if it were a month ago, I would"ve been forced to kill you . "


"Is it an order?"


"Yes . "


"The Loret Empire sure is scary, considering that it managed to survive and execute the n.o.ble families which partic.i.p.ated in the rebellion"


"What? The Loret family has managed to quell the rebels?"


"Yes, I just received this news 2 days ago"


Grey stood s.h.i.+vering from excitement .


"From this, both of us have survived" Grey heaved a sigh of relief .


"Then I"ll return to my quarters, Captain"


"Alright"


… .


*Creak*


Grey opened the door to his room and stepped in, he almost got a heart attack .


"Where is the child?" Grey unsheathed his sword and quickly rushed in .


At the corner of the room Tian Long hurriedly turned back his head and saw Grey rus.h.i.+ng into the room .


"Ray Nolan, that"s his name huh . "


"Seems like I still possess the Death G.o.d"s Eyes, then that means that I still have the Death Note with me . "


Ray heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the child was still there albeit trying to do something .


"Nie…yay…udel"


Tian Long immediately started putting on an act with a cute face .


"Considering that I was sleeping in a bed, this guy should"ve been the one taking care of me and it"s not farfetched for a 3 year old orphan to not know how to talk"


Ray immediately walked towards the child and carried him up .


"Huh, will I get beheaded for the prince not knowing how to talk?" Ray got scared a little .


"Probably not . "


Tian Long had no idea what this guy was talking about because he still couldn"t understand any of it .


"Dude, please talk in a language I know" Tian Long wished lamentably .


"Child, it"s almost time for you to return to the empire and there you can start learning the language of the world . " Ray started lecturing the child even though he knows that the child can"t understand it because his life depended on it . The lecture continued for 10 minutes which almost exhausted Tian Long .
