"It's over. The next era belongs to Yimra..."

As Diablo said this, she stretched and looked at Inra, who was trying out the new wing called [Blood King]... There was no doubt that, apart from being unfamiliar with it, Inra had now gained combat power of an extraordinary level.

It's worth mentioning that the two women, who were physically fighting just moments ago, are now getting along quite harmoniously. In fact, the human woman, who was so badly injured from the fight that she could barely stand, is now being supported by Baal.

The way they were arm in arm made it seem like the five of them were a group, having just returned home victorious from the great battle to dominate Suzuran... or something like that; in short, it was impossible to imagine that they had just been fighting each other.

"You gain power based on what you kill."

Mephisto briefly summarized the power of the profession called "Consul," then glanced at Vereesa and the human woman, saying, "You've probably seen it up close, haven't you? Now... Illa's power has reached a level beyond description."

Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. (yeguoyuedu)

Indeed, that's precisely what makes it interesting and wonderful.

Without wings, Ira is the easiest to kill, but once he manages to get the first piece, the second piece will immediately follow... and the same is true now.

With Raphael's death, Illa became the new Raphael... or rather, Illa gained power at the same level as the original Raphael, perfectly becoming the new Celestial Paladin.

This is both amazing and outrageous.

"After obtaining Raphaelmana, Illa immediately learned to use the abilities of the Celestial Paladin without any prior training... Although that guy from the Blood Realm didn't want to live anyway, she actually managed to kill him..."

The human woman sighed, her astonishment stemming from the fact that, in a single day, two of the beings who had never died in the past millennia had perished at the hands of Yinla.

Moreover, compared to the subsequent simple process of Inra stabbing Kayn to death... Raphael's death is more noteworthy.

"At the moment of death, the oath that bloomed, the aura of the oath revealed itself from the void... almost in an instant, Raphael disappeared, and Illa was resurrected."

Vereesa Inluvita, who was analyzing this, seemed to have a look of amusement on her face, and said, "Pulling the trigger with [death] is something I can't do... The governors are really special."

It's such a strange thing that there's no power within me that only Mana can use... It's like a punch that can be thrown without hands or a kick that can be delivered without legs.

It's something that's simply unimaginable without resorting to logical tricks.

"Let's go, my backup plan didn't even work."

As she said this, Vereesa shrugged indifferently and said, "Even though the [Everlasting Green Leaf] was already planted in Ira's body, Ira was already dead when it took effect... If it hadn't been triggered too late, I almost did something bad with good intentions."

Here, "good intentions gone wrong" naturally refers to the fact that Yoon-ra triggered the "death trigger." If Yoon-ra had died a little slower at that time, the situation might have taken a very different turn.

However, given Raphael's character, the final outcome might still be the same.

The elves of the Silvermoon Tree Garden might be able to see the gleaming body of Inra, resurrected from the World Tree... From this perspective, their own Cassiopeia might feel a pang of regret.

At least that's what Veresa Inluvita thought.

"That guy from the Blood Realm is really incredibly bored."

The human woman commented, laughing as she talked about Kayn's death, saying, "But thinking about it, it makes sense. I still have you, but that guy is all alone in the Blood Realm, doing nothing. He might really go crazy."

"Before he died, he told Illa how to deal with those outside the established order..."

Mephisto said this as if she were thinking about something, adding, "However, it doesn't really matter much. As long as we don't become enemies with Illa, it probably doesn't matter."

This statement has two layers of meaning.

One layer is the literal meaning, while the other layer... is that she is indicating that "I am not Illa's enemy; we are stopping you today only at Raphael's request."

Human women don't need to understand this; Vereesa knew it from the beginning without needing any reminders... This is an exception, because this is an exception.

Moreover, the current situation is something that is both incredibly understandable and incomprehensible to people: why something outside the established norms is called something outside the established norms.

“You heard what they said, didn’t you? If you die from Illa’s death trigger, or become one of those special transparent wings, then Illa will eat you and see the civilization he has been trying so hard to get close to.”

Vereesa Inluvita, watching the three sisters turn to leave, asked them, "What are you thinking? Are you interested in going to see it?"

"Would you be interested in taking a look?" This is a very tactful way of putting it.

To put it bluntly, it's incredibly funny and absurd, making any normal person laugh until they cry. [Do you want to be killed by Yoon-ra for fun?]

Of course, only normal people would think that way... As an exception, although the three sisters of Hell are quite normal, they still wouldn't laugh. Instead, Mephisto simply replied, "Not interested. What about you?"

The human woman casually shrugged, saying, "We're definitely not interested, but many people might be; well, those outsiders... aside from us, they're really a bunch of oddballs~"

Vereesa: "..."

Human woman: "Don't you think so, Vereesa?"

"..."

In a brief silence, Vereesa Ilúvata nodded, responding with a forced smile, "Yes, there are probably many outsiders watching this side of the story who are so curious they're practically dying of curiosity, aren't they?"

The joke, with its double entendre, made the human woman burst into laughter... It was quite rare for Vereesa to joke.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious!"

——————————

Bored, uninteresting, utterly tasteless... everything novel has become commonplace, and the continuation of civilization and the destruction of the world have gradually become less important. This is what is meant by being outside the realm of conventional wisdom.

Or rather, this applies to all irresponsible off-topic situations.

What I'm trying to describe is that many outsiders share similar thoughts—becoming an outsider is the decision I regret most in my life, and the happiest time of my life was the period when I was still striving to become stronger.

but……

Perhaps there is a brand new world to see, a brand new civilization to participate in, and a brand new set of rules to follow. Such a world would be a very tempting choice for all those who are bored and have nothing better to do.

Who else shares similar ideas? That's an interesting question...
