After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King

"BANG!!!"

Yila kicked out, sending the massive World Tree Beast crashing towards the ground... Yes, he couldn't continue the pursuit, because at this moment the hardness of the opponent's body was no longer something he could easily manipulate in mid-air.

However, fortunately, because Yila could fly freely, the control of the airspace meant he wouldn't face situations where he couldn't react in time to an attack.

The enormous body crashed heavily into the fragmented ground, making the already shattered world even more broken... In this world, there was no longer air or ground in the strict sense.

As Yila took the opportunity to catch his breath, the voice of Serpentine echoed in his mind—

*Serpentine Older Sister: Yila, are you okay?*

"To be honest, I'm not feeling great... I've used almost all my skills."

Yila said, looking indeed displeased, but there was no longer visible anger... After all, he had vented quite a bit from the long beating he had given the opponent, and much of his rage had dissipated.

"It seems this is as far as it goes, like punching a sandbag... It's a pity my goal was to completely break the 'sandbag,' but now it doesn't really matter."

As he responded, Yila noticed the movement of the World Tree Beast and prepared himself, ready to deal with its attack, but unexpectedly...

"SWISH!!!"

Almost instantly, the World Tree Beast appeared in front of him, countless twisted branches swinging towards Yila... The speed was such that even mortals and gods alike couldn't react to it.

At that moment, Yila was completely sent flying. If it weren't for the protective *Aerial Pillar Wings* surrounding him, he might have been severely injured by that strike.

Then, as if replicating Yila's previous aerial combos, the World Tree Beast appeared instantly above him, swinging its branch-like arm down like a hammer.

However, Yila, who was prepared, quickly relied on a certain sense of danger to virtualize and teleport away in advance.

"..."

"So fast! But is it just pure speed rather than teleportation?"

Yila couldn't help but mutter to himself. As he reappeared in a safe place, he almost instantly saw a giant crater on the ground, seemingly created by the immense counterforce.

The World Tree Beast was nowhere to be seen.

In other words!!!

Realizing something immediately, Yila quickly entered *Void Travel*, his body becoming intangible... In the next moment, branches and leaves pierced through the place where he had been.

However, a trace of Yila's blood still flew high and dropped to the ground.

Appearing farther away, Yila glanced at his wounded right arm and then at the chaotic combined Nine Realms plane, realizing... that using Void Travel to evade attacks would become much more difficult now.

Because the planes began to merge chaotically, the plane Yila was on now carried traits of many different planes... In other words, *Infiltrate the Void* wouldn't be effective.

Though travel would still work, and afterimages would remain, there would no longer be safe *Virtualization* time before the journey... This required Yila to have even faster reactions.

"Fighting against the world itself... is truly difficult."

As he said this, Yila dodged another attack from the World Tree Beast and returned a blow like an air cannon during its charge.

But attacking only made the opponent stronger.

*Serpentine Older Sister: That's natural...*

*Serpentine Younger Sister: It's surely harder than "fighting against all the people in the world."*

Listening to the complaints and comments of the two Serpentine in his mind, Yila didn't have the spare energy to respond. He could only perform a dangerous bridge move, narrowly avoiding the World Tree Beast lunging over him.

At the same time, golden light like the power of *Ra* gathered in his hand, forming into a spear of plasma energy. He fiercely threw it forward.

The spear sent the World Tree Beast flying higher, and Yila watched as it fell back to the ground amid a booming explosion.

"Huff... Ha... I feel so tired."

Yila panted heavily, like he had fought for ten days and nights straight, though in fact, he had only been fighting for a little over twenty hours... Not short, but he shouldn't be feeling this exhausted.

*Serpentine Older Sister: That's exactly what I wanted to say... After all, we are Serpentine.*

*Serpentine Older Sister: We are not something that can be used freely without cost.*

"What am I lacking? Is it qualification?"

Yila asked. He really wanted to sit down or lie down and sleep... Not look at the temporarily quiet World Tree Beast, undergoing a new round of *synchronization* and *restoration*.

*Serpentine Younger Sister: No, no matter what, there will always be non-permanent bodily burdens.*

*Serpentine Older Sister: Yes, besides that, most Manifestors' minds gradually align with the symbol of Serpentine, though you wouldn't have that problem... Yet the physical and mental strain is unavoidable.*

"..."

"..."

"Ah... Ha... Huff... Ha..."

Yila looked like he was at his limit. Watching the World Tree Beast stir, he already had thoughts of giving up... Even if he defeated it, nothing would change, it would just be venting.

*There was no longer any need to continue fighting.*

*Serpentine Older Sister: How about giving it up...*

*Serpentine Younger Sister: Yes, the people in your soul no longer want you to keep fighting... Everyone cares for you.*

*Serpentine Older Sister: More precisely, they are very worried about you.*

...

*Indeed, they were right. It was pointless... Ultimately, I had to accept my bad luck.*

Thinking this, Yila reluctantly opened his mouth, but in just the next instant... Yila's vision was filled with a verdant green, followed by intense pain and dizziness.

Flying backwards violently, Yila quickly realized what had happened—the World Tree Beast's actions and speed were now beyond his ability to capture or respond to.

Yet, his *senses* still existed.

By mere intuition, Yila barely managed to summon the power of a certain divine frost, unleashing a dense frost at the empty space around him.

The World Tree Beast's incredible speed and movement were momentarily slowed but still astonishingly fast, appearing only "then."*

...

*No more! Immediate retreat!*

Thinking this, Yila...

...

"Yila, you can do it!"

In the midst of cheering, Yila looked towards Satan Ye, and as if divinely assisted, he simply tilted his head, dodging the massive tree stump-like "small" wooden spikes fired by the World Tree Beast.

Satan Ye, cheering with a small fist, smiled happily. Her crimson eyes showed no hesitation or worry because...*

*The little Crimson Dragon named Satan Ye had never doubted Yila's victory.*

...

*Just as Yila always believed Satan Ye would become the greatest Demon King.*
