Although Vaan knew spirits were sentient beings, he had dismissed the Death Eaters as being under the sa category. As such, he was quite surprised to hear the Divine Lord Death Eater speak, even more so in the human tongue fluently.
However, his surprise was understandable. Anyone else in his shoes would have reacted the sa way.
After all, the other Death Eaters were all Rank 6 or Rank 7 spirit beings. These existences were much higher than his presently contracted spirits, and yet they seed even to be even less sentient.
No, it was more accurate to say that they were non-sentient.
Unlike the Divine Lord Death Eater, who had proven to be highly intelligent, the rest of the Death Eaters did not seem to possess any spiritual wisdom or wills of their own. Their mindless movents showed their lack of thought.
As such, it was easy for any observant person to determine the Death Eaters were different from other spirit beings.
"Because the nature of the death attribute conflicts with life, it's much more difficult for Death Spirits to develop their spiritual wisdom. As such, Death Eaters without any opportunities generally don't beco self-aware before reaching Rank 9 Divine King." The Divine Lord Death Eater explained, having guessed Vaan's thought and surprise.
At the sa ti, Vaan quickly understood that the Divine Lord Death Eater was precisely one of those rare and fortunate Death Eaters to receive opportunities and awaken its spiritual wisdom before reaching Rank 9 Divine King.
Nevertheless, if the army of Death Eaters was another one of the Lord of Chaos's
arrangents, Vaan couldn't help but feel speechless.
How could he gain experience and temper himself if he could use such a powerful army to take care of his problem?
Did the Lord of Chaos feel that the Divine Lord Wood Spirit would bring him more danger than protection, so he added a Divine Lord Death Eater as compensation?
Of course, these were just Vaan's casual complaints to distract himself from the bigger issue.
After all, assuming the Lord of Chaos only provided him with minimal survival needs and did not spoil him, wouldn't that an there would be a situation where he would absolutely have to rely on the Divine Lord Death Eater and army of Death Eaters to survive?
Furthermore, he still had yet to receive the inheritance in the heart of Crown's Nest.
Although he had yet to understand what the inheritance was, he knew it wasn't sothing simple either. As such, he felt even more concerned about the future.
The more he received, the bigger the future problem.
Vaan sighed.
"Since most Death Eaters below Rank 9 Divine King have no spiritual wisdom, that also makes them easier to control with my aura, yes?" Vaan asked.
"That's right, Lord," the Divine Lord Death Eater acknowledged.
"However, since you understand this aura and who I am, you should also know that using such an aura will only expose to greater danger," Vaan ntioned.
"That is not a problem, Lord," the Divine Lord Death Eater replied before continuing, "As long as you command , you command all Death Eaters here. You do not need to rely on your aura to control us. As long as it's your order, I make them follow it without fail."
"Even if I send to die?" Vaan casually asked.
"Lord, we are born of death and thrive in death. Death is no stranger to us. To die serving you is both a blessing and an honor," the Divine Lord Death Eater stated indifferently.
Death Eaters perceived death differently compared to other beings.
"I understand," Vaan replied with understanding.
He did not try to console or persuade the Divine Lord Death Eater to change its view and fate. There was no reason or need to.
The Death Eaters in the Garden of Thyia were born for him; they had no purpose and only existed for him.
It was up to him to give them a purpose.
Otherwise, they would just continue their idle life without aning, which was not much different from death.
'To live is death, but to die is living...?' Vaan thought.
So beings were dead even if they were living, while others felt alive only when they were dying.
The Lord of Chaos had left him a fearless army, and he did not need to feel any concern or guilt in using it.
Although Vaan felt like he was overthinking, the Death Eaters seed to be a ssage from the Lord of Chaos, telling him that sacrifices were inevitable as there wouldn't always be a perfect solution.
Thus, when such a situation ca, he could use the Death Eaters instead of his people?
Did the Lord of Chaos already know what kind of person his current incarnation would be like? Did the Lord of Chaos see the future and make arrangents plan accordingly?
Or did the Lord of Chaos leave behind so many crumbs of opportunities to avoid despairing situations that could break him?
Maybe the Lord of Chaos just wanted his current incarnation to beco like the original Varuna or as close to him as possible?
Whatever the case was, Vaan knew he wouldn't find the answer from pondering alone.
Although there were also a few things he wanted to ask the Divine Lord Death Eater regarding the Lord of Chaos, he figured he should finish up his original objective first.
"You said you make the Death Eaters follow my orders without fail, yes? If I ask you to clear the way to the inheritance, will you do it?" Vaan asked.
"Of course, Lord," the Divine Lord Death Eater answered without hesitation, adding, "Your aura has already marked every Death Eater in this surrounding region. Even if without my personal command, no Death Eater will dare to obstruct your path."
"You also don't have to worry about there being any traps or trials near the inheritance site. The only line of defense guarding it was us, Death Eaters," the Divine Lord Death Eater
stated.
Vaan calmly nodded.
Since the inheritance was only for one person-him, it didn't need any other trials or traps.
The swarm of Death Eaters was more than enough to stop the inheritance from falling into the hands of anyone else.
After all, an ordinary Rank 8 Divine Lord was already considered the highest power in the Skymagia Star Kingdom. As such, even if such a being ca for the inheritance, only death
awaits.
Just as the Divine Lord Death Eater said, no Death Eater obstructed Vaan's path to the inheritance site. All the Death Eaters imprinted by the Boundless Sea and Sky Aura moved out of the way unconditionally, even without Erald's influence.
As such, even without Erald's presence, the Death Eaters would never think about harming him. The Boundless Sea and Sky Aura had tad them.
At the center of Crown's Nest, Goddess Thyia's inheritance eventually ca into sight...
