CHAPTER 410: CHAPTER 52 TURNS OUT TO BE HELL!

"The blue-violet flame, what exactly is it..."

Mille Milyan repeated Yila’s question, looking somewhat troubled at the stained glass that revealed nothing. "But, that’s all I could see... Beyond that, I really don’t know anything."

"I see..."

Yila pondered, realizing that Mille Milyan, the frail and petite pope, was truly striving hard to seek prophecies and revelations related to calamities... because now, the little pope looked pale as a ghost.

*In the time Yila had been seeking information and advancing technology... this guy might have sought revelations to the point of coughing up blood, and might be on the verge of death.*

"You should get some rest. I already have some clues... I have full knowledge about the Ten Calamities now, and I will inform the Three Towers, and then the Council of Kings will notify the entire world."

Yila said this, but then he immediately realized there were no longer Three Towers. Seeing Mille’s delighted expression, he corrected himself, saying, "No, to be precise... to the White Tower."

Yila said this while looking at the starlight body beside him. He sighed lightly and said, "Let me clarify here first. Regarding the Ten Calamities, there are still some things I don’t understand... some aspects don’t match up."

"..."

Yila then briefly explained to the two of them everything he had discovered in the Dragon Realm about the calamities, including those resolved due to the Universal Language.

"Mortals using mortal efforts..."

The starlight body spoke, though no expression could be seen on his/her/its face, his tone carried evident amazement and shock: "Resolved the strongest calamity?!"

*How should it be said... the starlight body had witnessed many great people. He’d seen the greatness of the smallest individuals, like the boy who was willing to exchange everything for information on the calamities... It was because of this that he broke free from his obsession.*

*The starlight body also understood the greatness of the gods. He knew the sacrifices and dedication of the gods, including the Evil God who paid the price of everything to get the key for future beings to resolve the calamity, even if it meant having no followers left...*

*The starlight body had also witnessed the greatness of the great ones, two of whom were now sitting before him... Both Mille and Yila had their own obsessions and greatness, which they more than deserved.*

*And now, from Yila’s narrative, he felt the greatness of all beings, working together to eradicate the calamity through communication... such power was truly heartening.*

"..."

Yila didn’t pay much attention to the thoughtful starlight body. He looked at Mille Milyan, hesitated for a moment, and still placed his hand on her head. Realizing that she didn’t react strongly... he rubbed it gently.

"My thought is, perhaps the blue-violet flame you saw with all your effort is a calamity we have yet to encounter or see... otherwise, the numbers don’t match up."

Yila said this while unsure of exactly what it was, he could only speculate: "Among the remaining unknown calamities, there are four... excluding the black dragon snake resolved by my friend, there are three left..."

"The calamity of resurrection of the dead, guarded by Hell Demons, the calamity of Outer Realm Demons guarded by Heavenly Angels, and the calamity of the Evil God... These are the only three. I can only guess..."

Yila said, posing a hypothesis: "Firstly, if the blue-violet fire is the calamity of resurrection of the dead, it could be referring to the soul fire that appears in different colors... like the fire within the Headless Knight’s helmet."

This explanation indeed made sense.

"But if it’s referring to the calamity of Outer Realm Demons, that also makes sense... Demons are symbolized by magma and fire."

While saying this, Yila recalled the environment of hell and said, "Hell’s environment is harsh; a few steps could take you from extreme cold to toxic miasma, and a few more steps to extreme heat..."

"The blue-violet fire might be the fabled ’Ice Fire’; such an inference fits the characteristics of hell. After all, demons were created by gods, modeled after Outer Realm Demons."

Hmm, this explanation was also quite reasonable.

"However, if it’s the calamity of the Evil God..."

Yila was thinking aloud, and the starlight body, having snapped out of his thoughts of ’greatness,’ immediately chimed in: "Angels have the ability to call forth light like flames; the red and white fire might be the opposite of the Evil God’s blue and purple fire."

Yila nodded at the starlight body’s words... Although the wording was somewhat different from what he intended to say, it indeed conveyed the same meaning—it could all be possible.

"Then, I will try to get more prophecies next."

Mille Milyan said this seriously.

Yila: "..."

Starlight Body: "..."

"I think it’s better for you to rest."

Yila said, sighing softly. He reached out, ruffling the little pope’s hair completely, and as she bewilderedly tried to fix it, he said, "I’ve already asked a friend to inquire about the Heavenly Holy Knights and the Three Demon Gods..."

"If they don’t know either, I think you should rest. If you collapse, we won’t be able to get the information for the next calamity, making it harder to manage future calamities."

These words sounded rather insensitive, as if Yila cared nothing for Mille’s wellbeing and merely didn’t want the useful prophet to break down... But Mille seemed to accept it.

Simply put, Mille Milyan was such a person, always putting her own fate last. If you just told her to ’take care of yourself,’ it wouldn’t work.

If you wanted her to rest, you had to morally coerce her.

"I understand. I will rest for a while."

Mille calculated but couldn’t figure out how long she needed to rest. "Lately, I haven’t received any prophecies, which is a bit frustrating... Should these speculations also be handed over to the Three Towers?"

Yila nodded...

"Of course, I will provide the Three Towers with the intelligence later..."

At Yila’s words, Mille simply said, "No need to trouble yourself, Yila. I’ll inform the bishops to make extra copies for the Three Towers. Just check for any mistakes or omissions."

"Okay."

...

"From what I’ve heard, of the three great seal formations in hell, one seems to have been damaged by the last calamity of ’the Sea’! They don’t know how to fix it. When I arrived in hell, they seemed ready to call you for help immediately."
