Divine Emperor of Death

The Grand Welcoming Hall's closed door was pushed open, and the light from the outside flashed into the hall, blinding the intruder's features.

The intruder flew in without putting up any defenses or even a sign of attacking. His features became visible shortly, indicating that he was a man. He wore black robes that seemed to be battered from battle as it was torn down in some places. He possessed black hair and purple eyes that was a certain distinction among this place, pointing to the Alstreim Family.

The crowd looked at the intruder in scrutiny when his facial features became increasingly clear, and an echo of disbelief rang out.

"Elder brother!"

Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice as their heads swiveled to a corner. It was none other Edgar Alstreim who just took the first step to carve out a path for his daughter, but was interrupted by the explosion.

It was completely unexpected for him to see his elder brother in this place!

Daniuis's solemn expression turned into a smile as he finally saw his little brother, his blood brother. 

They were given birth to by the same mother and father, who was at the peak of the Law Dominion Stage and were experts in their own right. However, their parents shortly died when they went to finish a pending mission two years after Edgar Alstreim's birth. 

He was the one who has actually raised Edgar Alstreim. He couldn't help but feel nostalgic and complex emotions as he looked at his little brother.

However, he also knew that the time for a reunion isn't now.

The guards who followed him inside stayed their hands as they noticed the atmosphere changing within the Grand Welcoming Hall. Furthermore, it looks like someone inside the Grand Welcoming Hall recognized the intruder, and besides, they could do nothing to the intruder as he was a Law Sea Stage Expert, so they obediently waited for further orders.

Daniuis didn't bother about the guards and looked straight towards the elevated platform and saw the tens of dignified people seated in a calm and stoic manner. He inwardly let out a snort and flew towards them at a normal pace with his hands back as if he owned this place.

"Eh? Is it that cripple's big brother? There was such a person?"

"Eh, you might not know, but I heard that their relationship isn't good."

"Heh, looking at his black hair, it is obvious why..."

The people of the younger generation discussed Daniuis's history and sneered. However, they all became silent when Law Sea Stage undulations brushed past their faces. They became aghast and hurriedly shut their mouths in nervousness.

Eighth Stage Experts weren't people whom they could easily offend.

Daniuis let out a low snort at the last comment he heard.

In his childhood, he was bullied because of his black hair, but that was his remnant of his mother, their mother. There was no way he would come to hate it with his temperament. 

Blonde hair and purple eyes were the Alstreim Family's trademarks in this Territory, and coming into this world of the Alstreim Family without one would end up being discriminated against, being named that they were bastards and whatnot. Some people went as far as to dye their hairs blonde, but he never did that and even kept his lush black hair as a memory of his mother after her death. His past wasn't simple, to say the least.

Daniuis crossed the martial platform and arrived in front of the elevated platform. He cast a look at everyone who looked at him strangely for some reason before his gaze ended up on the person he had never thought would be present in this place.

He inwardly encouraged himself and bowed his head, "Descendant Daniuis greets Ancestor Dian Alstreim."

"I have come to ask for justice!"

He echoed with a determined glint etched on his face!

'Good! Granduncle Daniuis came to this place at the perfect timing!'

Davis inwardly cheered as this was a good distraction from his father and Nora Alstreim's matter. He was about to make his move when Ancestor Dian Alstreim's voice abruptly echoed.

"I have heard about you before, the former Young Master's big brother, but was exiled due to a certain event." Ancestor Dian Alstreim spoke before he nodded his head, "Feel free to state your grievance."

Daniuis blinked, becoming taken aback. 

What? Was he just allowed to ask for justice? Did he mishear it?

Davis creased his brows as he felt a bit hesitant, but he stayed his hand, choosing to follow his gut feeling.

Daniuis cast a look at the Conferred Queen's Protector for a brief moment as if he was checking out who it was, and seeing that there weren't any additional instructions, he took a deep breath before he started speaking, "Indeed, I, Daniuis, was exiled in the past." 

"I chose to follow the Disciplinary Hall's verdict to exile me and leave the Alstreim Family. I didn't stay and even left the Alstreim Family Territory along with my three maids. We went to the Tripartite Alliance and established the Cloud Spring Mercenaries, becoming the most reliable mercenaries in that Territory!"

"However, decades of nurturing had gone to waste after a single night when the Tripartite Alliance had sneak attacked and destroyed my Cloud Spring Mercenaries by placing and supporting a mole inside my Cloud Spring Mercenaries."

"The new family I established was almost killed by them!"

Daniuis yelled as he flicked his sleeves, his expression full of anger.

"What is the reason for this ruthless suppression that is specifically designed to target and kill me? It had even affected millions of people! There wasn't even a warning of their attack!"

"There was no reason for them to be this ruthless against me unless!!!-" Daniuis held his breath as he had a stomach full of anger.

He took a few breaths to calm down and uttered, "I believe, Luth Alstreim and his mother, Yuldra Alstreim is the reason for all of this, Ancestor! They colluded with the Grand Elder of the Tripartite Alliance's Alstreim Family Faction and tried to kill my family and me once and for all!"

Daniuis bowed ninety degrees as his waist bent.

"Ancestor! Please help me obtain justice!!" 

Edgar Alstreim's expression fiercely trembled. 

Such a thing happened to his big brother? He wasn't aware of it at all! 

Numerous people's expressions also changed, displaying various degrees of pity, gloating, and other emotions.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim deeply nodded his head, "I heard all you wanted to say and understood your grievance."

"You are now at the Low-Level Law Sea Stage, strong enough to obtain justice by yourself. From what I heard, you're only two hundred years old. I understand that you had to sacrifice many things such as comprehension of laws and used that time to cultivate instead, increasing your cultivation base as much as possible. In short, you have wasted your potential to survive."

"For all these reasons alone, you could've caused a massacre in the Tripartite Alliance Headquarters, and I would've later mused that it is understandable. However, you did not resort to ruthlessly killing and came here."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim tapped his fingers on the armrest before a smile appeared on his face.

"Since you came here to ask for justice, it is my duty as the Ancestor to fulfill your request."
