Did you all hear that?
The elf with long green hair said this... As outsiders, we cannot interfere in the affairs of the main plane. This is the established rule. If any outsider violates this rule, they will be resisted and attacked by all outsiders.
"Those five mortals clearly stated, 'Lord Balrog and the Celestial Knight, they have sentenced you... to death!', right? Then I propose that we conclude... Ernie and Raphael have violated the principle of exceptions!"
"..."
However, upon hearing her words, the other members of the group exchanged glances and then shook their heads in unison. The leader... or rather, the humanoid creature in the lead.
It had a jet-black body with white trim, and its body was filled with something that shimmered like sequins. It emitted a calm voice that was neither male nor female: "Veneresa, if we've gathered everyone in the Astral Plane just for such a proposal..."
The man shook his head helplessly and, under the sighing gaze of Vereesa, said, "You know, such accusations are useless... We cannot prove that Ernie and Raphael interfered, and besides... it's actually within the scope of the rules."
Indeed, this can hardly be called interference outside the established order... Even if we were to argue that "I was chatting with people who believed in me outside the established order, and inadvertently revealed my likes and dislikes, but I didn't expect them to take action directly," that would be acceptable.
Just like if Vereesa really hated a certain mortal, then the Silvermoon Tree Court would swarm and kill that person, which wouldn't be considered a violation of the rules at all... because outsiders can't determine Vereesa's role in this matter.
"What an old-fashioned old man, Uncle Astral."
The human woman who had been following Vereesa complained, while the humanoid figure she called Uncle Astral simply shook his head helplessly and replied, "However, it seems we don't need to worry about Chaos... about Ira."
It can be seen from his unintentional slip of the tongue that this astral being actually quite convinced that Ira is the chaos described on the stone tablet, but he doesn't seem to care... or rather, he doesn't care about most of the extrapolations.
The most crucial reason, of course, is their indifference to the destruction of the world.
Well, here we need to introduce a very crucial concept, the so-called Ingodrasil... which is the World Tree. The World Tree is merely the foundation upon which the nine planes are built.
However, there are far more than nine planes in this world... although the Astral Plane is one of them.
In other words, for many outsiders, what needs to be destroyed is not their own hometown. Moreover, for many outsiders, whether or not they have their hometown really doesn't matter... When loved ones die and the country is no more, what difference is there between one home and another?
That's one reason. Secondly... there are a lot of people in the alternate world who want to have some fun, and interfering in the main world would only lead to being attacked by other alternate worlds, so there's really no need for that.
Moreover, even if their home planet is in one of the nine planes, they won't necessarily be unable to survive after the world is destroyed; they'll just have a harder time... but it won't be too bad.
"Huh? Astral body, you think Ira is chaos?"
The human woman raised an eyebrow, adjusted her mage hat, and said, "I don't think it's very likely that Ira is Chaos. What do you think, Vereesa?"
Vereesa nodded at the human woman's words, saying, "Ira is probably not the Chaos of prophecy... but he is by no means unrelated to Chaos, nor is he completely unaware of it."
As she spoke, Vereesa peered through the layers of the world with inquisitive eyes at Illa... Although Illa was not within the range of the All-Seeing Eye and could not see her too clearly, that did not stop her from spying.
"Perhaps, Yinra is an agent of Chaos? Or perhaps a follower of Chaos? Or a collaborator of Chaos, or even someone favored by Chaos."
Vereesa guessed irresponsibly, but she nodded with great certainty and said, "I haven't watched him as long as you have, so you probably know better... Illa and Chaos are definitely in cahoots."
In response to Vereesa's words, a white-haired, ethereal girl behind the astral body nodded and said, "That's right, perhaps not as serious as 'a group,' but... Imra and Chaos definitely share some common interests."
Yes, that's the most apt description... The girl in front of me is an outsider to the spirit world. She's probably been watching Illa day and night for decades, and it's impossible that she's been watching her for less time than Vereesa.
"However, the good thing is that we have now officially seen Inra's limits..."
As Astral said this, he simply asked Vereesa, "Can you now relax and enjoy this great play? You've been working tirelessly to reinforce the stage, haven't you?"
Indeed, Veresa Inluvita can now truly rest assured.
Well, when Inla and Faviginho fought before, Inla's strength was roughly at the level of a normal legend... although Faviginho's strength could be considered to be above that of a legend.
However, despite not showing any significant improvement in her strength, Yinla single-handedly killed several legendary figures of average strength—this was certainly partly due to Yinla's increased power, but more importantly…
For Yinla, numbers didn't seem to matter much... As long as someone was weaker than him, there wasn't much difference between one or five, unless it was truly a hundred or so legendary figures surrounding him.
But that would be too far-fetched and impossible to take into account.
Moreover, Inra's potential has already been clearly seen...
“In that case, even if Raphael arrives in person, because of the weakened state of the main force, Illa is not necessarily going to be unable to hold out until we arrive… or even necessarily unable to win.”
With these words, Vereesa set a limit on Ira's strength. She chuckled and sat down in the chair in the astral plane, watching the arrival of those who did not intend to harm Ira.
"But Vereesa... what if those guys team up against Illa?"
The human woman spoke timidly, raising her hand like a primary school student asking a question. Vereesa really hadn't thought of this question, but it shouldn't be something she needed to consider, right?
“I don’t believe that those people, as outsiders, would stoop so low as to join forces to attack Yinla.”
As she said this, Vereesa casually counted the number of people from outside the circle who were present. She looked around... It wasn't that everyone who came was necessarily looking for entertainment or didn't care.
However, if they don't come, then it's highly likely that they are someone with ulterior motives... unless they take leave.
...
Speaking of which, those few outsiders from the Blood Realm are nowhere to be seen.
