After Being Betrayed by the Empire, I Decided to Support the Demon King

Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...

Chapter Eight: A Trip to the Astral Realm

"To contain the souls of humanity without limit, to hide the beings of this civilization in another civilization... That place must be very beautiful, right? To be honest, Yair, I'm really curious."

Vereesa Inluvita said this to the human woman, and when the woman looked at her with concern, she added, "However, I'm not that curious."

That's good……

After all, "curiosity" and "excessive curiosity" are completely different in this regard... The former may just be simple curiosity, while the latter, to put it more harshly, is called "self-destructive tendency".

"Veneta, you..."

The human woman had barely uttered her words.

"Calamity, huh... Yinla really knows how to order people around."

She was interrupted by Vereesa's sigh. With a helpless expression, she looked at the two bodies slowly sinking towards the Astral Plane and said, "Since when did he start to naturally treat us as people on his side?"

The human woman shrugged, indicating she didn't know either. Watching herself gradually sink into the distorted air through the [Raven's Eye - Gate] opened by Vereesa, she said, "These things, once they happen, they'll happen again."

That makes sense. Perhaps from the moment Ernie first sought help from a human woman, and from the moment Ira first formally met the two of them, it was destined that they would gradually move towards this point...

"..."

"The 'first' in 'once is enough' means 'there's always a second,' isn't it you who did it first?!"

Vereesa made this comment, and then the two of them fell into the void... As the rainbow-like scene flashed before their eyes, the two of them quickly arrived in the Astral Plane from the Prime Plane.

Although they crossed the Spirit Realm along the way, their strength did not decrease significantly... well, not by much.

"..."

Soon, people noticed the arrival of the two... It was a humanoid creature, its body pitch black and covered with shimmering starlight, with a white outline around its body, distinguishing it from this black world that was also filled with stars.

"The bloodline of the gods is so magical no matter how many times I see it."

The astral entity said this, and then, under the gaze of Vereesa, who was covering her eyes and catching her breath, answered before the two could ask any questions: "I'm not sure what exactly [Calamity] is, but I do know about the hidden anomalies of Mana."

Because they had been watching Yinla the whole time, Astral Spectrum also knew about that conversation.

"The Mana that appears in late spring, causing monsters to grow wild and go berserk... the Mana sealed in the far north... everyone already knows about these two, and you know about them too..."

"The things sealed above the heavens and the things sealed below the hells are undoubtedly two of them, and the offspring of the evil god is one of them... But I am not sure if it is the so-called calamity of the sea that the Pope prophesied, or if there is another calamity."

"Next comes the crucial calamity, which pertains to human suffering..."

As the astral body spoke, she reached out and conjured curves in the air, saying, "You were the first to sense the aura emanating from Ernie, Vereesa, and that is the possibility of world destruction... The Prime Material Plane is truly a fragile place."

Moreover, Ernie may just be one of the calamities of the destroyers.

In other words, there are many people who have the potential to destroy the world, and Vereesa doesn't know where to find such people... However, even if she did know, she has no interest in doing anything about it.

At most, I'll tell Yinla.

However, Vereesa also realized that if it were the old her, she wouldn't even have been interested in informing him... Now, she had unknowingly become involved in the drama.

But it's also quite interesting...

"..."

"..."

"Then what?"

The astral body didn't say anything more to Vereesa's words, but simply tilted its head and said, "Those secrets are things that gods should know, and before Mana officially erupted, what I could see with my own eyes was no more than what you could see."

"..."

In the silence, the human woman seemed to understand what the other person was saying, then nodded affirmatively and said, "In other words, little star, you don't actually know much either?"

"..."

Silence signifies acquiescence.

"Is that so? Then do you know anyone who knows more about this?"

Veresa asked this question.

The astral being, whom the human woman called "Little Star," shook its head and said, "Everyone who has had direct contact with the calamity always knows more about it than I do, but regarding the understanding of the calamity... the truth may have already been buried with history."

That means they don't know!

“I understand. In that case… I’ll go to the Dark Rift and ask the hunting team.”

As Vereesa said this, she sighed and sat down amidst the starry sky... As she sat down, a chair and cushion appeared beneath her, and the human woman also sat down in the astral plane.

The two of them also needed to rest for a while, since Vereesa Inluvita's [Raven Rainbow Eyes] could not be used continuously. She was merely a descendant of a god, not a direct descendant of a god... Of course, she was not like the [Silent Race], who only possessed a thin bloodline.

Do you know where Yimra comes from?

The human woman asked the astral body this question, and after thinking for a moment, the astral body said, "Only Yinla knows the answer to this question. Instead of asking me, you should ask Yinla."
