Chapter 420-The culprit
"Finally!"
"We survived!"
Seeing the culprit had disappeared, everyone cheered and sighed in relief that the enemy was finally defeated.
They were very grateful to Dave and Dave's sin points rose to another level, and the accumulation he was getting right now was significant due to the intense emotions of everyone as they saw that they had survived the tragedy.
"Hey, don't cheer because there is something more terrifying that awaits us."
The emperor calmed everyone down, and they looked at the terrifying gate in the sky, feeling a sense of terror emanating from it.
They looked at Dave and saw him unfazed. Dave had said a while ago that he wanted to hasten the descent of the enemy, making them feel that Dave was arrogant, looking down on such a being.
Dave looked at everyone and said, "You still have 1 hour to prepare and evacuate. This place is about to become chaotic."
Dave glanced at them with a smile, his face showing his excitement to fight a god.
.....
The emperor evacuated everyone from the area, maintaining order.
He counted the losses and felt the pain of learning that they had lost almost half of their True Saints, including their 3 semi-saint sovereigns who had died at the hands of the archbishops.
Their first ancestor could now regain his will because Dave had expelled the effects of the enemy's mind control.
They were very grateful to Dave, and none were angered by him not intervening earlier.
Some definitely felt that the situation would not be this bad if he had acted earlier, but if they said that to Dave, they were unsure if they could continue breathing.
Dave was not easy to read, and his attitude changed every minute.
The emperor went to the special place where the refugees were located.
It was a small world that could sustain everyone's needs for thousands of years.
The ancestors had prepared this place because it was well hidden.
People from other clans returned to their respective clans to assess their situations.
Some worried about the geniuses who had been abducted by the enemy, but Dave told them not to be concerned.
He was sure that none of them would die. Most of them were protagonist-type characters and would likely benefit from the situation.
Dave already knew their locations because he had secretly protected Jiang Chen, enabling him to locate his position at any time.
Dave knew that place, and while it was very dangerous for others, he could destroy it in an instant.
...
Dave looked at Karina and Caryll and then waved his hand.
The main butler of his mansion, Aileen, appeared, and Dave commanded her to introduce the two to his place without implicating them.
While Dave had told Karina about the space world before, she had never had a chance to enter it.
So, Dave called Aileen to guide her through the place. Dave wasn't sure if he could win against the god, but he wanted to ensure the safety of the two.
Karina was very worried, but she still believed in Dave because he wouldn't act without assuring his own safety.
He then rubbed Caryll's hair and told her to wait for him.
He promised to teach her personally. While he had already instructed Kirito to help Caryll learn some basics while he was busy, Dave wanted to provide his personal guidance.
The two of them left the place and entered his space world.
Wendy observed everything and overheard their conversation.
However, she wasn't surprised because she had already been inside that place before.
She remained silent while her injuries were being healed.
Dave informed her that it would take a whole week for her to heal completely.
He looked at her with a smile but didn't say anything.
Dave turned his attention to Flamy, who seemed bored.
He asked Flamy to enter the space world as well and requested Eldrich to prepare potions for Wendy, allowing her to rest there for a week.
He had sealed Wendy's cultivation to prevent her from doing anything reckless in his space world, as he still had some reservations about her actions.
Flamy nodded and, before Wendy could react, dragged her along.
"Wait."
She wanted to say something, but Dave didn't give her time to speak about it.
Swoosh!
Dave looked at the gate above and smiled, knowing he still had time to hunt his prey.
He vanished from the location, leaving behind a scene resembling hell.
He located the coordinates he had discovered and, utilizing his knowledge of the Law of Space, easily bypassed the void.
Within seconds, he found his target.
Swoosh!
"Hehe, you think you can hide from me?" Dave smirked as he spotted a small world.
Dave gazed at the seemingly ordinary small world, aware that it was all an illusion.
He knew that the real culprit was hiding within the core of this world.
It was a clever hiding place, as no one would suspect a seemingly insignificant small world to serve as a hiding spot. Criminals often sought out dangerous locations to evade pursuers.
If it weren't for his ability to locate the coordinates, Dave might not have realized that the man was hiding in a small world like this.
Dave could read the memories of the clone, but he wasn't sure if he could obtain valuable information, as clones typically had restrictions to prevent prying into their memories if something happened to them.
He didn't conceal his aura as he appeared in the small world. He sensed a shadow attempting to escape, but Dave wasn't about to let him get away.
"Trying to run?" Dave used his
Boom!
Cough!
A man wearing the same outfit as the one before appeared. His mask was covered in red bloodstains.
"How did you find this place?" the man with the black mask asked.
He felt bitter, realizing that all his efforts were in vain—his accumulations were destroyed when he made a move and then tried to flee.
Dave smiled and flicked his fingers, causing the mask to crumble into dust. An image of a handsome man emerged, looking young yet possessing an age that didn't quite match his appearance.
Dave looked at him and said, "You're strong, but it was just your bad luck to cross paths with me."
