I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World
Chapter 270 - Aberrant SoulsNetherworld Realm, Lake of Sorrow
On the first layer of the Underworld, a lady of fair skin and pristine beauty could be seen sitting by the lake with a melancholic look in her black dress.
Numerous souls in the shape of blue orbs could be seen swimming in the lake.
From time to time, she would fish out a sinful soul from the Lake of Sorrow and pop it with a pinch, obliterating the soul into glittering dust that fell back into the Lake of Sorrow before reforming itself.
Such a cycle continues to repeat itself several times as the lady in black dress did not know how else she should spend eternity.
"Lady Death!"
Black Impermanence arrived before he greeted the Goddess of Death subserviently with utmost respect and veneration.
This person was an existence that was even stronger than their original King Yama, who was supposed to be the strongest being in the Underworld Realm.
Alas, the Goddess of Death did not seem to have come from their Underworld Realm.
"For what business have you come to me?" Lady Death casually asked without sparing him a glance as she continued to repeat her routine.
Nevertheless, Black Impermanence was not offended by this.
"This lowly one would like Lady Death to peer into the heavenly secrets of the Divine Book of Life and Death to check out the information of a particular individual," Black Impermanence requested humbly with his head lowered.
"Hm?"
Black Impermanence's words finally caught Lady Death's attention as she turned her head to him with a slight frown.
"It is rare of you to find me for something like this. Speak, who is it that you want me to look into? There must be something special about this individual you want me to look into," Lady Death stated coolly.
"Do know that there will be serious consequences if you are wasting my time on something trivial."
"This lowly one understands," Black Impermanence lowered himself subserviently before saying, "However, this lowly one is certain Lady Death will be interested."
"This lowly one hopes that Lady Death could look up the information of IT—Ahem, this lowly one meant the Dark Emperor."
Black Impermanence changed his words at the last moment to avoid earning the ire of the Goddess of Death.
"The Dark Emperor?" Lady Death's long eyelashes visibly trembled ever so slightly as she felt her emotion being stirred at the mention of the name.
Nevertheless, it did not take long for Lady Death to frown before she said, "You know that the Divine Book of Life and Death will not have the complete information on an aberrant soul like the Dark Emperor's one."
"Why do you still want me to look into the Dark Emperor's information?"
"It's like this, the Divine Book of Life and Death has led this lowly one and White Impermanence to another lost soul, who uses the same eye technique as the Dark Emperor," Black Impermanence began to explain.
"At first, we thought it was the Dark Emperor himself. However, how can the Divine Book of Life and Death record information about another individual if that person was the Dark Emperor? As such, we thought it was someone the Dark Emperor knew."
"Even so, we were still puzzled because this person is still a living flesh instead of a lost soul who has already died but still lingering in the mortal world like the Divine Book of Life and Death has written."
"This implies that the person has an aberrant soul like the Dark Emperor. However, given the rarity of aberrant souls and the eye technique that only the Dark Emperor can use, everything becomes even more puzzling."
After Black Impermanence finished explaining, Lady Death understood the gist of the situation before she nodded calmly, "So that's why you want me to look into. Very well, I will look into it."
"However, I cannot promise that the Divine Book of Life and Death contains the information that you seek. Nevertheless, I am also curious about the Dark Emperor's situation… It's been a while since he last visited, and he has not been gifting me many souls these days…"
Shortly after Lady Death said that, Black Impermanence opened his mouth and wanted to explain that the Dark Emperor did not purposely kill people simply because he wanted to gift their souls to the Goddess of Death.
The person was simply a ruthless butcher.
However, Black Impermanence thought it was better to leave Lady Death in her delusions than to earn her ire.
After a brief moment, Lady Death reached out a hand into the void before pulling out a book from the core area of the Supreme Court of the Underworld and flipping it open.
The countless automated information of mortals contained in the Divine Book of Life and Death quickly vanished, turning every page in the book blank.
But as soon as Lady Death thought of the Dark Emperor, his incomplete information soon appeared on the page she opened.
=====
Name: Durante Ashura
Known titles: Dark Emperor, King Yama, Butcherer***
Status: Deceased***

Lady Death read the limited information without a change in expression as if everything that was written was as she had expected—limited and unchanged.
"The Dark Emperor's information is the same as usual. There's no change at all," Lady Death state calmly before tossing the Divine Book of Life and Death to Black Impermanence, "Take a look yourself."
"How can this be?" Black Impermanence was shocked before he muttered, "This lowly one had a feeling that something would have changed at least."
"I have told you. The information of aberrant souls is limited as if they are shielded and protected by the heavens. So you won't be able to see anything new."
"Then please lookup Albion Black instead, Lady Death," Black Impermanence insisted.
"Fine."
Lady Death agreed before made the Divine Book of Life and Death fly made into her grasp with a casual gesture.
=====
Name: Albion Black
Known titles: Renown Nut-Cracking Fiend, Bawles the Ripper***
Status: Deceased***
Present location: Mortal Realm, Earth***

Without any surprise, the status of another aberrant soul was also recorded as deceased.
If Albion knew about the limited information recorded in Divine Book of Life and Death, he would have wanted to burn it.
