The Council of Kings convened once again... This time, the topic was still about calamities, the remaining three calamities—the calamity above the heavens, the calamity below hell (which is being resolved), and the calamity of the resurrection of the dead.

Similarly, this was the first time the Council of Kings had not included Illa... Instead, Ernie, who was holding a lot of prepared speeches and speaking haltingly, took the lead.

After all, she has always been Yimra's follower... Everyone has seen that, so it would be easier for everyone to accept if she were to take the lead in organizing the meeting.

"During this time, Mr. Yinla has gone to the Dragon Realm to investigate the specifics of the ten calamities and has learned that most of them have been resolved."

The names of the calamities are as follows—

"First Calamity: Four-Legged Riot, Second Calamity: Zero Degree Cold, Third Calamity: Sea Erosion Remains, Fourth Calamity: Resurrection of the Dead, Fifth Calamity: Extraterrestrial Beasts, Sixth Calamity: God of the Reversed Stars, Seventh Calamity: God of the Fallen, Eighth Calamity: Vengeful Black Dragon Serpent, Ninth Calamity: Labyrinth of the Heart, Tenth Calamity: Silent Tower."

"Among the calamities that are not well understood by everyone, the [God of Reversal] refers to the calamity sealed above the heavens. The [Resurrection of the Dead] literally means the calamity of the dead rising up and attacking the main plane, and neither of these has yet shown any signs."

"The Black Dragon Serpent of Resentment: Although you all don't know about it yet, it has actually been dealt with by Mr. Yinla. It is a serpentine monster that is very powerful but only has one physical form, so it was easy for Yinla to kill."

Ernie's speech... no, her recitation was far too dry and dull, a far cry from Ira's. Even many kings and nobles would have done a better job.

However, the content of that story was so captivating that it was impossible for anyone to find it boring.

Without anyone noticing, Yinla seemed to have solved another calamity... Even the most uncouth and arrogant king had to admit that Yinla was truly a great person.

This era was led by Inla, and it is also being continued by Inla.

Even if Ernie's manuscript states that it is "easy to kill", no one would really think that killing a calamity is just a piece of cake for Ira... nor would they consider it a necessity just because of Ira's past contributions.

Solving the calamity is not something Yinla has to do... Everyone knows that.

"The Ninth Calamity, the Labyrinth of the Heart, is a slightly more complex calamity. It usually possesses powerful individuals who are prone to mental turmoil, causing them to have thoughts of destroying the world. There have been two instances of this happening so far... which were resolved by Yinla through communication."

"Both are outsiders; one is Ernie from the Demon King's territory, and the other is Astral from the Theocracy."

"..."

Ernie, who was reading from her speech, paused for a moment. She looked up and exchanged glances with the kings watching her, then gave an awkward laugh... It was quite obvious that she hadn't written the speech herself.

After clearing her throat twice, Ernie continued, "Ahem, the calamity of the fallen god... After the last calamity was resolved, everyone should know the story of the evil god Darkfeather. The calamity of the Silent Tower, however, existed during the Age of Gods..."

"..."

Yes, just as the manuscript stated, after the last calamity of the sea was resolved, Yinla informed everyone without reservation about the evil god's scroll and the evil god's final wish.

The direct consequence of this was that bards began to sing the story of the evil god, adding many artistic descriptions to it, and many even went so far as to... in short, pair Inra with the god.

Although it was strange, the fact that it provided mortals with stories to enjoy and find joy in hardship during such a time of frequent disasters meant that the kings didn't bother with it after confirming that Yinla herself didn't seem to care much.

The world itself, and the people themselves, still seem to live in peace and prosperity, even becoming more harmonious, peaceful, and harmonious, with almost no conflict between races... This state, which only exists in dreams, is proof that the world is on the verge of collapse.

The most obvious data is the population size. The number of mortals of all races has almost halved compared to before the frequent disasters... The number of warriors has also decreased by a similar proportion.

The former mainly died of starvation and cold due to the extreme cold, while the latter mainly died fighting for the former, whom they cherished, because they were on the front lines of the calamities of wild beasts and the sea.

Under such pain, people have to do something to distract themselves, such as... idol worship.

"The 'Beasts Beyond the Realm' refers to the calamities sealed beneath the Hell Plane, as you all should be aware of... It seems that the sealed calamities were originally the sun god 'Ra,' whom the Empire has worshipped for thousands of years, and now Ira is working to resolve them."

Ernie squinted at the words on the speech, "[Hand the microphone to Mao Youyou and let her explain the details]", and paused for a moment... Who is this? She had never heard of this person before. Although she had looked at the whole list that had been given to her, she had forgotten some of it.

However, at Ernie's voice ["Cat Yoyo?"], a catgirl beastman approached, and Ernie, as if relieved, handed the microphone to the other person... listening to the catgirl beastman talk about Yinra and the girl god in the beastman kingdom.

Now, the two of them have almost traveled to the principality.

The next part of the Council of Kings' proceedings included a break and discussion time. Ernie would then go on stage to talk about digging up the corpses underground and burning them all...
