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 Two: Alienation and Invincibility

"First Wing Pillar - Succubus - Wingspan!"

As Illa's voice rang out, large, pinkish-purple wings unfurled behind him, and an alluring fragrance gradually filled the air on the large terrace, where Tikkap stood right beside him.

Because Yinla discovered something, he wanted to have it verified.

[Tikkap: Hmm... Fictional Wing Pillar - Tikkap - Wing Appearance]

Accompanied by Tikkap's voice in Yinla's mind, a trigger that no governor had ever pulled before was activated, and the mana that should not have existed in his body was activated. The mana symbolizing [Tikkap] instantly condensed into wings behind Yinla.

Two identical pairs of wings appeared simultaneously behind Yinla.

Yinla tried to control it and found that she could control both pairs of wings very freely, and could also easily transfer Mana from the first wing pillar to other wing pillars.

However, because the [Sky Pivot] does not exist, he cannot call this part of the Mana to other wing pillars, since this part of the Mana does not exist in the first place.

However, the simultaneous appearance of two pairs of wings was something that none of the governors had ever heard of.

"Why would the World Tree be willing to borrow Mana?"

Yinla muttered to himself, somewhat confused. He felt the second pair of wings flapping under Tikkap's control, making him fly. He felt his body rising uncontrollably, uncontrollably condensing mana bullets that did not consume world runes.

"I don't understand..."

In Yila's voice, Tekapo, who had been given full access by Yila, mischievously controlled Yila's hand and made a "contemplative" gesture... and then all of Tekapo's access was turned off.

Yin La also controlled the two pairs of wings herself, landed on the terrace, and then retrieved them.

Unable to speak directly within Inra's consciousness, Tekap nodded in confusion, saying, "I don't quite understand either, but anyway, Lady Inra, you have the ability to control your body, right?"

Although he said he didn't understand, Tikkap seemed to be having a lot of fun playing with Inra's body earlier.

"..."

Yinla frowned. He seemed to have sensed something magical just now. He pulled the trigger with his own power, mobilizing the mana belonging to Tekkap, and said, "Sky Pillar Tekkap Wing Manifestation."

As the non-existent Mana was inserted into the non-existent wing pillar, the World Tree naturally transferred Mana to Yinra once again, and succubus wings reappeared behind Yinra.

"..."

Yinla remained silent, as if he had sensed something. Then, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "There's no mistake, this feeling is undoubtedly your talent and power!"

Tikkap, who was being looked at by Inra, tilted his head in confusion, not knowing what Inra was talking about. Then Inra used actions to explain what he had just said.

Before Tikkap, Inra's figure gradually faded, and then... disappeared from the spot.

Tikkap was stunned. He knew exactly what that thing was—watching Yinra disappear into the Prime Material Plane, he thought of a possibility and immediately faded away on the terrace as well.

——————————

The scene before Tikkapu changed as he activated his power, as if passing through a thin membrane, from the prime material plane to the chaotic void.

"Lord Yinla?"

Using his abilities, Tekapo clearly found Inra, who had flown off to who-knows-where in the Void... The Void's space is extremely chaotic; what might be a few millimeters apart in the outside world could be an immense distance apart in the Void.

However, within the virtual realm, distance and speed are meaningless.

"Ah, Tikkapu... Is this the Void Realm?"

As Yinla spoke, he looked around at the empty space and the empty ground beneath his feet, and said, "How am I supposed to move around in this virtual world?"

As he said this, Inra tried to take a step forward, but the relative distance between him and Tikkap did not change at all... He could also feel that even though he had now switched to the prime material plane, his position was no different from when he came to the Void.

This is what happens when a normal person comes to the virtual world, because movement is meaningless in the virtual world.

"It's not front, back, left, or right. The void realm doesn't have front, back, left, or right; it's up and down."

Tikkap explained it this way, but he was clearly to Ira's right now... so Ira still didn't quite understand. He looked up and down at his feet, not quite sure.

"Well, it's not exactly up and down, how should I put it... inside and outside?"

Tikkap's words only made Ira more confused. Looking at the empty surroundings, he didn't know what to do. In his mind, he activated Tikkap's permissions and said, "Come help me. Let's go find Vera."

Tikkap nodded at Inra's decisive choice to hand over authority to him.

[Tikkap: I understand, Lady Inra... You might find it a little difficult to adjust right now, please bear with me, Lady Inra.]

After Tikkap's voice reached her mind, Ira could clearly feel that Tikkap was controlling her body to "fall"... but not in a spatial sense.

That was indeed a feeling that was hard to describe.

The two then stopped in the virtual world. Although their physical positions did not change and they did not take a step, the coordinates on the opposite side of the prime material outside changed to the outside of Vera's room.

"Let's go, Lady Illa."

As Tikkapu gave this reminder, his figure gradually began to fade and disappear in the void.

"..."

Still immersed in that strange feeling, Yinra, while recalling this indescribable experience, traveled back to the Material Plane.

Yinla glanced at Vera's workshop with its doors tightly shut, then at his own hand, which was gradually becoming fixed on, and looked at Tikkapu, who was waiting. He casually turned off Tikkapu's access and commented, "What a magical experience."

Tikkapu couldn't help but show an expression of amazement, saying, "It's you, Lord Inra, who's amazing. If this is [Alienation], then aren't Alienated Governors invincible?"

Indeed, if this is what mutation is, then the governor who gains the corresponding Mana master's talents and powers at the moment of mutation would truly be the most invincible profession, but...

"However, this doesn't happen to normal rulers. Alienation is just an extra consciousness making noise in their heads, and there's no way to turn off the permissions."

As Yinla said this, she knocked on the door of Vera's workshop with a sense of helplessness.

"Moreover, I feel... I am now somewhat similar to the Lich's Soul Box."
