Ernie's current state is a bit off... Although human women can't really tell, Vereesa can vaguely sense it, this is the colleague from outside the circle whom she almost enlightened.

It seems like he's become a bit obsessed.

Moreover, it wasn't just any kind of obsession... Now, Vereesa could sense a threat emanating from Ernie, who was calmly watching the two of them.

However, Ernie's strength shouldn't be stronger than hers, let alone this... Ernie came from Hell to the Material Plane, so her strength should have been weakened by the plane barrier.

But……

What exactly is this subtle, ever-changing interplay of the opposing forces—holy and evil, good and wicked, calm and madness? Could it be that he's turned evil?

Logically speaking, only gods, or beings like myself with divine bloodlines, should be qualified to [fall], [become evil], or [become corrupted]... just like the evil god Dark Fisher.

Ernie should just be an ordinary fire elemental lord, promoted to an extra-class rank... wait, how exactly did Ernie become an extra-class rank?

"Ernie, are you a descendant of the gods?"

Ernie tilted her head in confusion at Vereesa's question. She sat gracefully in front of the two of them, her legs together and tilted to one side, her hands on her lap, responding to their question: "I do have divine blood in my veins, but not much."

Upon hearing the reply, Vereesa Inluvita gently closed one eye, while her other eye was immediately filled with iridescent rainbow light as she looked at Ernie.

Or rather, she immediately began to observe the special colors that Ernie was exploding with in her eyes.

"..."

This is really serious...

As Vereesa thought this, she saw a familiar aura... entangled behind Ernie were strands of silk, like knotted thoughts, soaring high into the sky and then wrapping around every corner of the world.

From the sky above the Demon King's territory, it connects to the World Tree and spreads throughout the world.

This symbolizes that if Ernie doesn't handle the situation well, something terrible will happen, and even the whole world will be affected. Vereesa has naturally seen such threads and colors before.

That's why she felt it was "very familiar" and so on.

Because the threads that appeared in the far north, the same ones that appeared in the monster colonies last time, and even the threads that are now being nurtured in the ocean, all look pretty much the same...

"Calamity? Ernie?"

Vereesa Inluvita couldn't help but say this. She really didn't expect that Ernie would actually be associated with [Calamity]... However, the threads on Ernie's body were thinner than before.

Moreover, it seems that the same calamity is not limited to Ernie alone; the colors that bind the World Tree do not only fly from Ernie... there are probably ten of them, which together make up this kind of calamity.

"Calamity?! What did you see?"

The human woman asked in surprise.

"Calamity...? Me?"

Ernie pointed to herself in confusion. She had no idea what Ira and Satan had dreamed a few days ago, so she had no idea what Vereesa meant.

However, she really didn't need to know.

"Haha, things are getting interesting."

Vereesa Ilúvatar said this, her rainbow-like eyes scrutinizing Ernie, making Ernie feel extremely uncomfortable. She then muttered to herself, "I wonder how many calamities this is... It seems psychological problems really are very serious..."

Or rather, if the destruction of the world is caused by the psychological problems of just ten or nine powerful individuals, then the prime material plane is truly too fragile... It's astonishing.

Ernie: "???"

Ernie, who still didn't understand what Vereesa was saying, was also a little annoyed, even though she was conflicted. She said, "Anyway, I have to see Illa. Let me go. I won't hurt him... Believe it or not."

"..."

The human woman looked at Vereesa Inluvita. Normally, she would have refused outright, but judging from Vereesa's words, things seemed a bit bad.

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)

Vereesa nodded, then shook her head and said, "Now I believe you. It's a pity that Yinla left the Demon King's territory the day before yesterday to study the sudden snowfall at the Three Towers... If you don't mind, could you tell us your thoughts?"

Ernie glanced at her suspiciously, then sensed something... Well, Vereesa wasn't lying. Surprisingly, Ira really didn't seem to be in the Demon Lord's territory anymore.

"Okay...I..."

Ernie sighed helplessly, then, like Vereesa and the human woman, sat on the edge of the terrace, dangling her legs in mid-air. She looked at a succubus practicing her punches on a wooden dummy, seemingly bewildered: "Where should I begin..."

After organizing her thoughts, Ernie figured out how to begin. She looked at Vereesa Illuvita, her emerald hair fluttering in the wind, and asked, "Do you remember our conversation that day?"

Then, with Vereesa nodding, Ernie looked up at the gray sky and said, "I think you're right. The world I want to protect isn't the one we have now... The world I should protect is just a world that exists in my memories."
