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

Yila defeated one boss after another, just like overcoming the obstacles and bosses in a game... The smallest boss was one of Caligula's sons, followed by the Demon King's army, then the disobedient monster leaders, and finally Caligula.

Afterwards, he dealt with the unexpected attempts on his life and then the Calamity...

At the very end, shouldn't there be a good ending?

However, reality told him "no," The Divine Snake Shedding told him... that this world was fundamentally unsavable. From the very beginning, all efforts were meaningless, and for that, it expressed its apologies.

But the Divine Snake Shedding didn't need to apologize... just as those who did nothing didn't need to apologize either. Perhaps Yila, who tirelessly exerted efforts and expectations on his own, was the one who was wrong.

The Divine Snake Shedding did not owe Yila anything.

Although Yila often complained and criticized the Divine Snake Shedding for ending the Age of Gods and bringing him trouble, he also knew... that everything the Divine Snake Shedding had done was always aimed at helping him.

At least directly helping him... indirectly, it might have brought some "troubles" and "episodes," but they were merely troubles and episodes.

"Hoo... Ha... Hahahahahaha~~~~"

Sitting on the sofa, Yila took deep breaths. His voice was trembling continuously, and with his head lowered, his expression was unclear. His words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "I really am! Really!!! It's Fu***ng!"

Seeing Yila use swear words, and enunciating them so clearly, was unimaginable. Moreover, such intense emotions displayed by Yila were extremely rare.

The scene felt truly discordant.

So discordant that even the young goddess and the Divine Snake Shedding couldn't help but watch him.

"..."

Worried that he might just collapse.

"Yila... the World Spell is spreading on your neck."

The young goddess said, watching the crimson spell gradually cover Yila's face from his neck, extending to his hands concealed under his sleeves.

The young goddess knew it was the World Spell, but she didn't understand its implications.

However, the Divine Snake Shedding understood. Both of them realized that Yila was already extremely angry, and seeing him in this unprecedented state, it could be said... Yila was on the verge of fury-induced collapse.

"Yila, are you okay?"

The Divine Snake Shedding asked nervously. She suddenly realized that perhaps she had been too abrupt with the truth... or maybe it was the wrong time, and she should have told Yila these matters either sooner or later.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Sigh..."

After a very long silence, the crimson covering half of Yila's body gradually retracted to his neck, returning to the dense black resembling a neck ring. He lifted his head and said, "I'm fine... just as you said."

As Yila spoke, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He figured it was because he had clenched his teeth too hard, causing his gums to bleed. He wiped the blood away and said, "It's nothing more than switching to another world."

"I can tell you actually care a lot about me."

Yila continued, still looking as composed and calm as ever. He closed his eyes, connecting his thoughts, then opened his eyes to look at the Divine Snake Shedding and said, "You've even thought of a retreat for this civilization for me."

"..."

"Are you really okay?"

The Divine Snake Shedding in her loli form, also known as the "Inheritance" Divine Snake Shedding, seemed to click her tongue in amazement. She observed the calmly analyzing Yila and said, "You calmed down so quickly... truly impressive."

To be honest, he was still somewhat distant from "calm," but... Yila was not someone accustomed to "Incompetent Fury." He indeed could rage, but he didn't want to waste time indulging in emotional knots.

Seeing Yila nodding to indicate he was fine, the older Divine Snake Shedding also relaxed and smiled, saying, "Yes, I did indeed consider the souls' arrangements for you... since one civilization has already been accommodated, it probably won't mind a second one, right?"

"..."

"Hah..."

Yila sighed with a bitter smile and simply asked, "How long do we have? Until this 'Beast' awakens, and the world begins the cleansing of life... it doesn't seem like the kind of scenario that would occur in a non-industrialized world."

That was true; it was a clichéd eco-villain theme. But in fact... it seemed the world's consciousness didn't care about pollution.

"The world is the world; the planet is the planet. The world's consciousness wouldn't care what happens on a specific planet... although they do have a 'subjective perspective,' it generally doesn't relate to us."

The Divine Snake Shedding, speaking in riddles, first said something basically incomprehensible, then slowly added, "It's probably soon? I'm not sure... but it should be after the disaster of the Resurrection of the Dead."

"So, Yila, you can prepare for the Calamity of the Resurrection of the Dead first."

Looking at the Divine Snake Shedding suggesting this, Yila silently glanced at her and said quietly, "What's the point? Everyone's going to die anyway. We might as well die early... and then we can just escape directly."

"..."

"Escape?"

The young goddess, puzzled by the unfamiliar term, asked. But no one would explain to her that in this context, "escape" meant "run away."

"Well, it doesn't matter to us, but I think the world's creatures won't believe you. Even if you exhaust all your persuasion, at most you could convince those on the Main Plane to turn to purple clay, but there's no way with other planes."

The Divine Snake Shedding made a very logical point. She raised a finger and said, "So, let's wait until they get wiped out. We can take a couple of survivors and escape to another world. Have you decided who to bring?"

"..."

"Satan Ye... she's playful, and might still find joy in facing world destruction. Anyone else would definitely break down."

Yila said, shaking his head and preparing to leave the World Tree. He remembered something and looked at the two Divine Snake Sheddings... but only one remained. The loli Divine Snake Shedding had vanished.

"How do you plan to handle the Calamity of the Resurrection of the Dead? Be specific."

Yila asked.

"Ah, you should know, I've long since interrupted the World Tree's cycle... so I have a large number of souls under my command, all of whom were once dead across various planes."

The Divine Snake Shedding said casually, "The original Calamity of the Resurrection of the Dead would cause dead creatures to resurrect out of nowhere and attack everything with their previous powers, but I can let these souls replace those creatures instead."

"Although the Calamity's regulations... rules would still apply, they could still slack off, chat, and maybe meet with family and friends."

...

Sounds good.

But what was she trying to say initially? And why did she suddenly change her wording?

Regulations... rules?
