The atmosphere in the chamber was suffocating as the Soulless Ghost King kept glaring at the Black King and Shadowless King with his hollow, emotionless eyes.
"Do you get the throne?!" Black King questioned with gritted teeth as his power spiked, but he dared not attack without confirming it first.
After all, Soulless Ghost King was someone even he had to be wary of, and if they started a fight without good reason, it would only alert their target.
Furthermore, Soulless Ghost King was known for his reputation of being straightforward and having an overbearing attitude because he looks down on others and won't bother to lie about something like this.
Furthermore, they didn't find any traces of any fight or struggle in this place, so it could only mean that the Soulless Ghost King still has to find the Myriad Galaxy King, which would be good news for both Black King and Shadowless King.
But if the Soulless Ghost King really got the throne of death, then both kings might join forces to fight the Soulless Ghost King. Even then, they were confident of keeping the Soulless Ghost King here, so they had already started to plan to keep him here and create a huge commotion and hope the other legendary kings would join hands against the Soulless Ghost King.
Even the Soulless Ghost King wouldn't dare to risk going against so many foes and put his life at risk. But they must not let him flee to the safety of the Ghost Domain, or no one would be able to do anything to the Soulless Ghost King with the entire Ghost Race as his black up.
Unless the other factions interfere and the Dead Faction gives up on the Ghost Race, which the Black King knew better than anyone, it is impossible since it would reduce the Dead Faction's prowess by 35%!
Black King knew the rules of Dead Faction, and despite being a Demon from the Fiend Race, he wasn't the strongest. He can only fight the Soulless Ghost King until they are outside the Dead Faction territory.
At this moment, the Soulless Ghost King's eyes suddenly shifted to Elia, and he said impassively while icily looking at Shadowless King, "Hand over that girl."
The Shadowless King was startled as this response was completely out of his expectations, and he looked at the Soulless Ghost King warily since he didn't know why he wanted Elia.
Black King was also surprised since he knew the Soulless Ghost King was only interested in the souls of powerful beings, so he thought Elia's soul was somewhat alluring to the Soulless Ghost King.
Shadowless King also thought of this point, and his eyes flashed with slyness, "Tell us where the Throne is, and if you promise to leave, she's all yours!"
Soulless Ghost King gave the Shadowless King a profound cold glare before his lips curled up in an eerie sneer, "I don't know where the Throne is, but it's not with me, nor I'm interested in it. You can have it if you can find it. I'm here to investigate the disappearance of my Drunkard brother. I can sense his sigil residue on that girl."
His soul sense suddenly churned and locked on both kings, making their expression change; the Soulless Ghost King coldly stated with hellish killing intent, "So… hand her over before I lose my patience."
Shadowless King's heart beat wildly because this soul pressure was simply terrifying, and at this moment, he knew he might not even have a 20% chance of winning against the Soulless Ghost King.
This was the being who had once defeated the Cursed Necromancer King. Although they never fought when the Cursed Necromancer King was at his peak, many still believed that if the Soulless Ghost King put everything on the line, he might be able to defeat the Cursed Necromancer King.
Moreover, when the Necromancer King turned into Cursed Necromancer King, the Soulless Ghost King charged into the Valley of Sunless Dusk after coming back from his mysterious venture before returning. No one knew to this day what happened, but after that, the Soulless Ghost King never interfered with that place.
Everyone believed he suffered defeat, making the Valley of Sunless Dusk an official Forbidden Region.
Nonetheless, the Shadowless King knew he wasn't a match for the Necromancer King back then, and he sure wasn't the match for the Soulless Ghost King right now.
"The mighty Soulless Ghost King will never go back on his words. Hand over the little plaything!" Black King shot the Shadowless King a menacing yet meaningful glare as he also emphasized the Soulless Ghost King's words and honor.
Although he wasn't sure if the Soulless Ghost King had told them the truth, from his understanding of the Soulless Ghost King, he never used schemes and always overpowered his enemies.
On the other hand, his junior brother, the Drunkard Ghost King, was completely opposite; that guy was full of schemes and lies. It was also he who released this news to muddle the waters, and he was probably hoping to take advantage of others.
They all even thought that the Drunkard Ghost King was the one who got the throne, and we're here to obtain confirmation from the Myriad Galaxy King. But only after coming here did they find that the Myriad Galaxy King was acting very strange, so now they suspected him of somehow getting the Throne of Death. Blackwell couldn't take it back for some reason, so he wanted to use others.
But now the Soulless Ghost King was saying he was searching for Blackwell, which means the throne might be in his hand after all, so the Soulless Ghost King didn't have it yet.
That's why the Black King wanted to confirm it as quickly as possible before they started going after Blackwell, and this time, since they already knew the Soulless Ghost King was on the move, they would join forces! They can even follow the Soulless Ghost King!
The Shadowless King appeared hesitant momentarily before gritting his teeth since his thoughts were slightly the same as the Black King. With a thought, Elia was directly moved in front of Soulless Ghost King.
Elia's eyes were filled with despair as she looked at the ghostly Soulless Ghost King as she knew it was over. But just when the Shadowless King freed her from his soul force, a hint of confusion surfaced in her eyes as she blinked in bewilderment while looking at the Soulless Ghost King, who was looking at her impassively.
"Don't resist!" A cold voice sounded in Elia's head, but to her astonishment, this voice was completely different from the Soulless Ghost King and very familiar.
Before she could react, the Soulless Ghost King placed his skeletal hand on her hand, and the next moment, she felt a terrifying suction force that was also somewhat familiar to her.
Trusting the voice instinctively, she didn't resist and vanished the next moment. Black King and Shadowless King didn't react much since they knew the Soulless Ghost King's ghost ship in his soul totem could imprison anyone.
After stowing away Elia, the Soulless Ghost King gave both kings a peculiar look before he vanished, leaving behind parting words, "We'll meet again eventually!"
