CHAPTER 395: CHAPTER 37: BLUE-PURPLE FLAMES?

In recent days, the images of the Evil God Dark Fisher... brought out by Yila, recorded by the Demon Statues in the Evil God Relics about events that occurred during the divine era, had become a very popular topic among the nonconformists.

These nonconformists, who were far behind in intelligence and in their research on past eras and the calamities themselves compared to Yila, seemed to be somewhat moved... but it only seemed so.

The exaltation and sacrifice of the gods made these nonconformists feel more awe and admiration... but hardly anyone wanted to emulate the gods, for not everyone possessed such noble will.

They could have it, but no one demanded they must.

The reason nonconformists were called nonconformists was because of their lack of constraints... at least, it was impossible to make any normal demands of them based on conventional "reason" and "logic."

However, since that was said, there were still a few nonconformists... for example, those who originally had a sense of responsibility or those who originally admired the gods... to name examples, like the Starlight Body and Leonard.

...

"For now, it seems, there is no use for us."

Starlight Body said this as he explained the current situation to Mille Milyan, saying, "The hunting squads have already packed up and are preparing to join Yila Elkaras... which is the Demon King Territory."

"And now, the Demon King Territory had already fully shifted its strategic focus to resisting the calamities... of course, it seems that every nation on the main plane had this intention now."

Starlight Body paused as he said this, with a hint of sigh in his voice, "Once the calamities are all resolved, Yila wouldn’t need to think about how to achieve his goals and dreams."

"..."

*Indeed, just as Starlight Body said, if the calamities could be completely resolved, then Yila would undoubtedly be recognized by the whole world as the crownless king... even now, he was already considered one.*

*Currently, the whole world had recognized Yila as the king of kings, and now his efforts made it seem more like Yila had made a vow to himself—’If the calamities are not eradicated, I will not become a king.’*

*Although everyone knew that it was only because the existence of the calamities themselves clashed with Yila’s dream of ’establishing a beautiful world’... yes, now the whole world already knew what Yila’s long-touted dream was.*

*It could only be described as both childish and great...*

"He deserves it."

Mille said this as he quietly looked at Starlight Body, contemplating while saying, "There are not many calamities left... The rampage of the quadruped magic beasts, the rising sea levels, the cold, the fall of the gods... these four calamities were already resolved by Yila."

"What’s left is the ’potential for destruction,’ as you mentioned... a calamity that slowly resolves as those with the potential to destroy the world fall into a state of mental bond."

Starlight Body shook his head at Mille’s words, pointing to himself, and said, "It’s not possession. Although the calamities indeed caused my and Ernie’s situation, strictly speaking, we were not possessed but a future of..."

However, before the indistinguishable voice of Starlight Body could finish, Mille shook his head and interjected, "What I mean is, it indeed has to do with the calamity, and it is indeed being slowly resolved."

This was a fact...

"So, only five calamities remain..."

Unaware that the Resentful Black Dragon Snake had already been killed by a molt, Mille said as she calculated, "Above the heavens, below hell, resurrection of the dead... these are the three known calamities, so there are only two left unknown."

Indeed so.

Starlight Body nodded, looking in the direction of the distant Yila, and said, "Any intelligence on any calamity is very important. Yila will soon go to the Dragon Realm to seek intelligence... and later on, he will still need your efforts."

After all, knowing what the ’next calamity’ was, was very important too.

"Actually, I can see it now... but I can’t be sure what it is."

"..."

Starlight Body: "!!!"

"Hmm... I can only see a blue-purple flame."

...

Yila! Come quickly!! There’s important new intelligence!

——————————

"It’s been a long time since we had a council meeting, so I’ll say a few simple things."

Yila said this, but the thick stack of parchments in his hand did not look like "a few simple things" at all... he seemed to notice the looks from the leaders and smiled slightly, putting most of the parchments aside, leaving only one sheet in his hand.

"Hmm, those are other materials... only this one is what I need to say."

Yila, saying this, looked at the visibly relieved leaders and said, "First, the Demon King Territory is about to welcome the second and third nonconformists, which is the hunting squads—Leonard and his nonconformist companions."

"Right now, they should be moving, and afterwards, they will fully join the Demon King Territory, just like Ernie."

Yila said this, and Ernie, listening below, also nodded. Then, seeing no objections, he continued, "Next, with the complete paving of the cement roads, the concept of borders between nations will gradually blur."

"Simply put, within the Demon Controlled Area, there might be many exotic races playing around, and some adventurers from other countries coming to hunt magic beasts, trade, just interact normally... if there are any troubles, you can also post quests for compensation."

Saying this, Yila introduced part of the future plans...

...

Afterwards, it was time for the reports from the leaders... many reports needed to be listened to by Satan Ye, but she seemed to be not feeling well since yesterday, so she did not attend this council meeting. Therefore, for now, it was just simple mutual exchange.

Most of the matters were straightforward... but...

"Recently, the evolution statistics for the inferior demons have been completed..."

Hilena said this, recalling the compiled statistics, crossing her arms and frowning as she said, "The number of Little Ice Demons, and even the Little Demons that have evolved into Helde Ice Demons, far exceeds other types of demons."

This was actually a very strange phenomenon... even with the cold weather, there should have been more little demons evolving into Flame Demons to produce enough heat to resist the cold.

"Do you have any clues?"

For Hilena’s question, Vera, with visibly dodging eyes, laughed awkwardly and responded, "I don’t know, maybe it’s just too cold, or something~ hahaha... I don’t know!"

...

Yila: "Stare~"
