Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 703 List Of Crimes



Alexi Ethren calmly posed a look towards Iona Ethren before he glanced at his father, who still seemed to be screaming and begging for mercy.

At this point, he figured that his father was going to die within a few minutes if he kept this up, so he used the core of the array to stop producing flames and instead sealed his father inside.

Kaiser Ethren groaned in pain. His entire body was burnt, scorched so much that even good facial features weren't visible. He became charred black while possessing no dark blue hair, revealing himself to be bald.

Not to mention that he was completely naked, his display akin to being publicly shamed and humiliated. However, right now it was least of his concerns as he was still groaning in pain.

"Good..." Iona Ethren narrowed her eyes as she uttered a word of content.

She cast her eyes to Kaiser Ethren, her husband, and yet there was no trace of worry or care.

"First Mother, you've misunderstood again. I'll execute him after I and my master publically announce his crimes. There's no need for First Mother to step in these muddled waters."

Iona Ethren glanced at Alexi Ethren as she knitted her brows. Just when she was about to reply, she was interrupted

"First Mother, why do you think that your son, Hadre Ethren, the newly crowned Emperor hasn't appeared yet?"

Iona Ethren narrowed her eyes that it became two tiny slits.

"It's because the Emperor and I reached a consensus. I swore to the heavens in front of him that I would not target the throne of this Empire before the coronation ceremony if he didn't appear in this scene."

"And from the looks of it, the new Emperor seems to have turned a blind eye to my actions..."

Alexi Ethren chuckled.

Iona Ethren looked stunned on hearing this revelation.

"I see..." She closed her eyes before opening with a determined glint, "If that is my son's will, then so be it!"

Then even without turning to give a final look at her husband, Iona Ethren left the scene as she took to the direction of her new palace, living as the Empress Dowager.

Alexi Ethren became stunned for a moment before he shook his head.

'Sigh, a power-hungry woman indeed... She decisively chose to follow her son's footsteps since he is now in power...'

'But for Hadre to not reveal his intentions to his mother...'

'Could it be that first mother knew about this all along and only came to make a fake impression on all of us!?'

Alexi Ethren gulped thinking like this as he felt that there was a fifty percent chance for this to be plausible.

Fortunately, he wanted nothing to do with this woman or this Empire after he had got his vengeance.

He looked at his master and his heart palpitated with excitement that he never possessed before!

Contrary to what Alexi Ethren mused about the Empress Dowager, the others more or less believed that the Empress Dowager chose her son before her husband.

They could understand her, thinking that Kaiser Ethren was already a lost cause and there was no use, fighting over a broken and almost dead shell. They felt that all she could do was rely on her son to make her ends meet.

Looking at the miserable figure of his father, Alexi Ethren knew that his vengeance was a done deal, so he didn't ponder on it too much, ready to take the brunt of being a father-killer in a few minutes.

All that was left for him and his master to announce his father's crimes.

Without delaying a beat, he started by announcing the crimes, one by one, each in a detailed manner.

About how his father killed without restraint and violated numerous women... About how his father caused female infanticide, killing his own daughters in order to change his luck to father sons instead of daughters.

Lastly, it was about his mother and the things he did.

This speech alone went for five minutes and would've caused many to frown, the crimes that were listed even caused the Royal Protectors who were equally in the know to frown in displeasure.

They seemed to be thinking that even if they did it, they wouldn't do this openly or even reveal it to the public so as to maintain the image and aura of a wizened expert.

On the other hand, Kaiser Ethren was a tyrant who loved to bully people until they groveled in front of him, begging for forgiveness.

Such acts were only allowed in this Empire since he was the Emperor.

"Momentarily, my master who had trained me will continue to add to this Scum Emperor's list of crimes!" 

Alexi Ethren yelled ferociously.

His meaning was clear, that no one can object to this sentencing of his or even question his authority at this point.

His master trembled and took to the front, passing by the sides of the array where one can clearly bypass the seal or the flame attack through a specific route.

Clearly, the woman seemed to know the ins and outs of the fiery array despite her meager cultivation. She almost reached inside the cloud formation and spoke as her voice thundered!

"Kaiser Ethren you womanizing scum! You will pay for your crimes!"

Five minutes were enough to time for Kaiser Ethren to at least save his face by literally keeping up and restoring his appearance. Yes, with some kind of medicinal pill, he had begun to heal his burn injuries, mainly over his face before he moved on to his privates.

He already wore new clothes, taken from his spatial ring but even then, his new clothes were stained by the pus that came out when his skin regenerated

He looked like a bloodied man who had jumped out of a heavily contaminated sewer.

However, when he heard the voice of this woman, he shuddered. It was that same voice that enraptured him into scheming for that woman when he was a madman, killing his own daughters so that he could father sons by relying on evil rituals and techniques of dubious origins.

Alexi Ethren blinked and wondered why his master changed her voice.

The answer was revealed the next moment.

"Arianna..." Kaiser Ethren seemed to mutter in a trance as his lips moved. However, it came off as inaudible to the others.

"Pfftt!!" But then he suddenly laughed as he sprayed a mouthful of blood, his injuries becoming even worse in the process.

"Hehehe!" 

Alexi Ethren's master who was called Arianna laughed with him. Their peals of laughter were equally crazy as if they weren't expecting it would come to this stage at all.

Alexi Ethren frowned for a moment before he bellowed at his father, "Old fart! Stop laughing at my master!"

Kaiser Ethren looked at Alexi Ethren with a dumbfounded expression on his face. 

"Hahaha!" He couldn't help but laugh again, further aggravating his injuries in the process.

"I understand... I understand now! I understand why my life would fall into this mess!"

"How long have you been calculating this!? Hahaha!" 

Kaiser Ethren couldn't hold his crazed laughter. It was as if he realized whose fault that he was going to die and no longer cared about his life and death.

"Hehehe... Laugh all you want... For this day, I've been calculating for two hundred and fifty years, the day I can personally behead you myself!" Arianna coldly chuckled.

"Hahaha! Behead me yourself!!?"

"Look at you! You haven't even grown in cultivation since the time I made you my woman and had you birth my child!" Kaiser Ethren mockingly laughed.
