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

"It only took a few thousand years for the seal to fail? My great-granddaughter is truly useless..."

The young goddess, after learning the current time during the conversation, mocked Nephthys. She asked, "So, do those guys no longer care about faith? Why are you all unbelievers?"

And they don't seem to respect the gods much either... The young goddess did not get angry because the children's lack of reliance on gods was proof that they had grown up. *She felt a bit sad, but more than that, she felt comforted.*

No one knew whether they should reveal the truth now.

"There are very complex reasons behind this."

Yila said this as he held the young goddess's hand and led her toward the transmission array. From the scene, it looked as if a young boy was holding a young girl's hand since Yila's physical appearance wasn't very old either.

Yila knew the young goddess, who had been sealed since the age of the gods, was completely unaware of the fact that "the gods are dead." So, to explain it to her, he had to start with the "Serpent" and then talk about "the decisions of the gods."

This process also required him to introduce himself... specifically, his own role in the entire situation.

*It was very complex.*

"Very complex reasons... like that group of guys all died?"

With the young goddess's speculations, everyone paused their steps simultaneously. This action confirmed that her casual guess was correct, even though her "casual" guess covered many different possibilities.

Among all her guesses, the possibility that all the gods were dead was not low.

Of course, it wasn't high either.

...

"Should I say it's unexpected? Or expected?"

The young goddess said this, and the golden blocks on her neck, like small pyramids, reflected beautiful light under the lava spread throughout Hell, making her bitter smile even clearer.

This also explained why no one had checked the seal's condition for so long... Because everyone was already dead, and there was no time to worry about her anymore.

Everything made sense, including why she was able to break out of the seal and why no gods came to manage her once she was out.

"So, what killed them? It shouldn't be you guys, right?"

The young goddess questioned this, but before the others could respond, she had already gotten the answer. She squinted her eyes and said, "A chaotic 'god'? A prophecy left behind on a stone tablet? The gods are dead?"

It seemed she had obtained a lot of information from some inexplicable place... It was truly bizarre. After all, no one had mentioned anything about "chaos" or the stone tablet to her, nor should she have any way of knowing related matters.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, the young goddess couldn't help but look at Yila. Her eyes held a more curious look as she said, "I can't see your thoughts... and in their minds, your status is unexpectedly high."

"Crownless king? World Ruler? Preserving past civilizations in your soul?"

The young goddess asked these questions with confusion, not hiding her ability to read people's thoughts at all. *Amid Wenresa and the human girl's slight panic, she smiled and said,* "You don't have to mind; to me, your thoughts are very clear."

After pausing for a moment, the young goddess added, "There's nothing worth being embarrassed about or hiding... At least compared to the mortals of our time, your thoughts are much more sincere."

*Kids with full hearts of 'saving the world'... It was truly touching.*

"..."

Yila fell silent for a moment, pinching his brow, feeling it difficult to handle the current situation. *The other party's attitude was too good, leaving him unsure of how to proceed.*

*First, stabilize "Ra," then go ask the snake's shed for advice.*

Thinking this, Yila hesitantly questioned the young goddess's previous words: "Raphael indeed knows about the things in my soul, but can you tell me... whose idea is the crownless king and World Ruler?"

After Yila spoke, Wenresa Iluvita and the human girl showed embarrassed expressions... For these two awkward individuals, having their thoughts read was extremely embarrassing.

"Well~ it's this divine descendant and human here."

The young goddess directly pointed them out, then gestured to Ernie and Leonard, saying, "By the way, their thoughts toward you are as 'family' and 'benefactor.'"

Setting aside Leonard's "benefactor," which Yila felt he was truly worthy of, Ernie's "family" was completely different. Because in her heart, this term should hold significant importance.

But in Wenresa and her partner's eyes, Yila had such an over-the-top evaluation... This indicated they had been watching him for a long time, at least since he arrived at the Demon King Territory.

"We're here."

Yila said this as he looked at the transmission array in front of him... exchanging glances with the others, and then looking at the young goddess who had casually stepped onto the array, waiting for everyone. He asked, "Where are we going?"

"It depends on what you think... I'm completely unfamiliar with this world now."

The young goddess said this earnestly, "You seem to have some resistance to 'mind reading,' so I haven't continued using it... So currently, I don't know which plane is safe."

"..."

Yila couldn't help but want to cover his forehead, and the others felt the same... Because the "Calamity" in front of them was too agreeable, like a little sister from the neighborhood—or no...

More accurately, stopping her mind-reading act was like a mother saying, "Alright, alright, turn the lights on, don't be afraid," upon realizing the children seemed scared of the dark.

"What is your thought?"

To Yila's question, the young goddess showed a thoughtful expression and said, "I want to return to the Divine Realm, but this 'gate' can't do that, and I'm not sure if the Divine Realm is still safe... and you obviously wouldn't know either."

"So, I'd better return to the Main Plane first, back to my empire."

The young goddess said this with a nostalgic expression and added, "During the transmission, tell me in detail what has happened... and how the empire is currently faring."

"During the transmission, we will lose consciousness... and when we wake up again, we'll already be at our destination."

Leonard reminded her.

"..."

The young goddess simply nodded, "I know, this 'gate' was set by us (the gods). Such control was meant to protect you (the children)... but it's clearly no longer necessary."

"..."

Yila: *Caught in a fix, it's impossible to turn against her now... Seeking help: What to do when the Calamity is too agreeable? Online urgent!*
