Chapter 436
’What do we do?’
Lucy talked to Arthur, who’s dormant inside of her . He wasn’t noticed by the butler as and the little bit of Dark Magic he usually emits is directed to Makaze .
’I need to know the clan’s location, its structure and how powerful the people there are . ’
Lucy agreed with him, to wreak complete havoc, they need to know the enemy’s strength . The White Specter Clan is amongst the powerful powers of the Divine Planet so it won’t be easy to cause chaos . Since the moment they started relentlessly chasing after them, Arthur swore to pay back what was done to him tenfold .
They refused to leave them alone so he has to resort to more aggressive means . Lucy’s mother, the Matriarch of the clan and the strongest person there, is, fortunately, in secluded cultivation so they don’t have to worry about her interfering .
The trio didn’t linger in the Bard Realm, they remained there for barely two hours before heading directly toward the Divine Planet . With the help of the Overgod, they were met with no difficulties .
Even the raging storm of Nether Energy surrounding the ginormous planet didn’t obstruct them . As she stared at the Divine Planet, Lucy was truly shocked, the size of this planet was mind-numbing .
It was so big to the point that its spheric couldn’t be seen even when they were in the Bard Realm . Moreover, there was an over-abundance of people either leaving or entering it .
No one was foolish enough to provoke the butler, who’s apparently rather famous in both the Divine Planet and the Bard Realm . Despite needing to overcome the storm, there are only certain locations people can pass through . At the end of these locations were massive gates that are guarded by strong cultivations originating from the strongest power in the Cloud Sea Universe, the Cloud Sea Sect .
Although they arrived at the Divine Planet, the place was far too big so they needed two whole weeks to arrive at their destination . Not even once did Lucy converse with her sister or the butler, who tried to initiated a conversation but miserably failed .
***
During these two weeks, a huge piece of news traveled to all corners of the Cloud Sea Universe . It’s about the middle-realm, Green-Leaf, where the Crown Prince revolted and assassinated his father, the king . He took the crown for himself and became the ruler of that land .
At first, there was some public opposition but the harsh and merciless actions of Isadore rendered everyone silent and obedient . He killed not only his father but three other ministers without even giving a reason . Surprisingly, the one and only sibling of Isadore, his sister, wasn’t enraged and actually supported her brother, facilitating his rise to the peak .
This was but the first part of this news, the second part was the crushing defeat of the Holy Dominion, which was permanently banished from Green-Leaf .
Isadore publicly stated that any person from the Holy Dominion who dares to enter Green-Leaf will be killed on the spot . Everyone and anyone who has an affiliation with the Holy Dominion will be executed .
More shocking was that this king, a human mortal, assigned a demon as his adviser . Furthermore, the Holy Dominion envoy was killed in the Imperial Capital and their naked bodies were hanging on the main gates of the city, causing even more uproar .
As one would expect, the Holy Dominion was infuriated by Isadore’s ruthless actions and demanded an explanation to which the King publicly stated:
“I don’t need a reason to kill spineless vermin . ”

“Motherfuckers! How dare you steal my sword!”
A tall woman angrily crushed the head of a robot then pulled its arms, breaking it . Another robot punched her stomach but didn’t even make her flinch, she glared at it and kicked it, pulverizing it .
“I won’t leave till you fucking hand me the sword!”
She glared at a large airship from which countless robots were descending from . The airship was the size of a plane with many advanced rockets at its front . A mechanical barrier was surrounding it, defending it from any exterior attacks . This was a moving fortress which is one of the main powers of the system .
Surprisingly, amongst the countless robots, there was a human . He was a man in his forties wearing a thick golden armor . He held a flaming longsword embedded with six silver gems .
“We’re just borrowing it for some time, what’s the big deal?”
The man flashed a hideous grin that made him look uglier . He beckoned Losha with his pinky, clearly provoking her .
“A lv10,000 dog dares to talk big in front of me?”
What happened after could only be described as a complete and absolute beatdown . The man was beaten black and blue, his armor broken, his sword snapped in half and his face like a panda .
She mounted him and continuously punched his face, breaking his jaw and nose yet not stopping even for a second . She didn’t want to hear his pleas or excuses, after all, it’s a refreshing feeling to demolish these ’players’ that belonged to the System .
As the reincarnator was busy slowly killing the player, a silhouette approached her behind . It wasn’t the robots that were demolished even before they could move, but a more powerful individual .
While witnessing the sight before him, he hugged his arms and moaned:
“Ahhh! What a show! What a spirit! What Determination!”
Startled by the sudden appearance of the strange man, Losha turned her head only to suffer another shock . She hastily got up and stared back at the Joker, unable to say or do anything .
Just like the Nameless Knight, the Joker is another strong being, albeit very eccentric . His mood may change in a second and he doesn’t differentiate between friend or foe .
“Oh please don’t mind me… do continue . ”
He pointed at the bloodied ’player’ while grinning . In response, Losha shook her head and said
“No need, I’m done relieving my anger . ”
With closed eyes and a finger on his forehead, the Joker seemed to be pondering about something . He walked to the player and pressed his foot on the man’s face while speaking to the uncomfortable reincarnator
“Come on, don’t be like this . You were so energetic just a second ago . ”
Losha forced a laugh but was unable to think of something to say .
“Tch! You’re famous for your fiery attitude, where’d go to? Anywaaaaaaay… take this . ”
He fiddled with a card in his hand, which transformed into an exquisite-looking red letter .
“Your strength rose so I needed to personally come . You’re invited to my Red Tower! Make sure to come, aight?”
After saying that, he pressed his foot and pulverized the player’s head . Then, he raised his head and stared at the still-standing airship, he raised his hand, which was holding a card, and casually vertically slashed the air .
Losha gawked at what happened next; the floating airship was split in two and slowly fell while the Joker vanished from that area, leaving a speechless reincarnator . She only snapped out of her daze when she heard his voice one last time
“Take this as a gift… I don’t want you to come empty-handed, after all . ”
Her divine sword, Grail, appeared in front of her, waiting to return to its owner and partner .
*******
Lucy stared at the grandiose gates erected before her . They were at least 50 meters in height and several meters thick . Two disciples wearing white robes were guarding it . When they noticed the butler and Angelina, they bowed and treated them with absolute respect though they were surprised too another person that looked very identical to the Matriarch’s daughter .
The butler nodded to the two disciples and, at last, entered the White Specter Clan . He was in a bit of a rush to tell the Matriarch about Arthur and Lucy .
Unfortunately, the second they stepped inside the clan, the disciplinary elder rushed toward them .
“Greetings, butler Hobson, Miss Angelina, and…”
He smiled at Lucy and introduced himself
“I presume you’re Miss Eva . You’re as beautiful as your mother . I’m Benson Album Larva, your maternal uncle . ”
He stretched his hand, expecting Lucy to reciprocate but she threw him a quick glance before ignoring him and his hand .
Benson wasn’t bothered, his smile widened as he resumed talking
“Your father heard that you’re coming so he prepared a warm welcome for you . Please follow me . ”
Both Hobson and Angelina frowned, clearly not believing Benson’s words but they still followed him . Lucy curiously looked around, inspecting the beautifully built houses and the tall pagodas in the horizon .
The territory of the White Specter Clan is huge and this area is where the Outer Disciples reside . Some left their homes and gazed at Lucy before starting to guess her origins .
The rumors of her return had already spread and many speculated that she’s the Matriarch’s daughter from another man .
’From the look on your sister’s face, I don’t think your father is that ’good-willed’ . ’
Meanwhile, Arthur was talking to his wife about his father-in-law, who’s never been mentioned by the butler or Angelina .
’Hmpf! It doesn’t matter if he’s ’good-willed’ or not, I’m going to leave sooner or later . ’-Lucy
