I'm exhausted, absolutely exhausted...
"I'm really fed up with this world."
Yinla complained as he leaned back in his chair. Snake Shell also snapped his fingers with a wry smile, turning the chair beneath Yinla into a large sofa, where both the young goddess and Yinla could lean against.
"After I transmigrated here, I realized around the age of ten that Yuther seemed to be a pretty good guy. I learned magic, cooperated with him, won the war, trained the nobles, unified the world, and then... bam! The Federation could slowly be built up."
For the first time, Yinla kept complaining. He had never spoken in such a tone in front of anyone, nor had he ever shown such weakness... Even when he was a child, he always gave people the impression of being indifferent and calm.
"But the good days didn't last long, bang! Yuther died... Not long after, bang! The nobles couldn't be suppressed... I thought, what difference does it make where I am? Anyway, I still have connections, so I thought I'd slip away and go join the elves."
"Although I ended up joining the Demon King's territory, it didn't really matter. The people here are quite kind, strong enough, and have great potential. I watched the Demon King's territory prosper day by day, but then, wow, first I found out that the gods were dead, and then calamity came!"
Yinla, who kept complaining, almost couldn't catch his breath... He took a deep breath, covered his head and sighed, watching the snake skin eating popcorn with a sharp look in his eyes.
Even the snake shedding its skin was embarrassed to remain in a "spectator" state.
"Well, I might need to take some responsibility."
Snake Sheath spoke apologetically, the amount of information in her conversation with Yinla was enough for the young goddess beside her to realize what her and Yinla's identities were... but neither of them cared.
"However, the main problem is the world itself... Calamities are just minor incidents."
As she spoke, the snake-skin stood beside Yinla, patting his shoulder reassuringly, and said, "It's alright, in the next world, we'll choose carefully together, and I guarantee you'll achieve your dream!"
Girl God: "!!!"
Yinla: "..."
How could this kind of thing happen again? And it's like picking a melon at the market, with promises like, "I'll pick you another one this time, I guarantee it'll be sweet" or something like that.
However, Yimra seemed to have sensed something.
"You orchestrated my time travel?"
In response to Yinla's question, Snake Sheath pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "It can be considered that Snake Sheath did it, because you are very suitable to become our manifestation, so we saved you from your AI that was wreaking havoc."
Thank you so much...you guys?
"you?"
Yinla, who had clearly grasped the crux of the matter, nodded in response to the question. She snapped her fingers and said, "Come out, Xiao Liang! Give him a job!"
Then nothing happened.
"..."
The snake remained motionless, still snapping its fingers, under the watchful eyes of Yinla and the young goddess. After some time, the snake's voice finally emanated from Yinla.
"Hiss hiss hiss (Xiao Liang is alright)~"
Then, under everyone's gaze, a little girl suddenly appeared from Yinla's shadow. It was her first time officially meeting Yinla, and she nodded and said, "Nice to meet you. I am the Serpent's Sheath of the [Inheritance], the power of the [Origin of Chaos] recorded on the stone tablet that saves the world."
If that's the case, there is indeed such a record.
"Yes, mine is the slough of the Divine Serpent. The gods thought it was the only thing that could fight me, so they put it in a treasure chest. Unfortunately, they all misunderstood."
Upon hearing the snake-skinned older sister's words, Yinla recalled something, looked at the snake-skinned loli, and said, "So, after it appeared in the treasure chest, the snake scales I saw were you... I was definitely not mistaken."
"Um."
"..."
But judging from their personalities, the loli snake seems much softer... at least not quite the same kind of fun-loving person as the mature snake, but the two of them do seem to be on his side.
They said they think I'm suitable to be their "manifestation"...
What does "manifestation" mean?
"In your terms, it's the host."
"..."
Isn't this simple and clear? Why bother with all that fancy stuff like "manifestation"?!
Yinla twitched her lips, suppressing the urge to retort, and said, "So, what's so special about me? And... your [God] and [Inheritance] sound a bit like rules or laws from a novel, don't they?"
"..."
"..."
Upon hearing Yinla's words, the two snakes in their molts couldn't help but exchange a glance, their eyes filled with sighs and regret... Some words cannot be spoken or associated with; now there really isn't even the slightest chance to save the world.
"..."
Under Yinla's gaze (as if these two were speaking in riddles), the molting snake-woman spoke up: "You could say that, our power is similar to those things... As for your special abilities? Hmm, do you know about cause and effect?"
Before Illa could say anything, she immediately said, "You are very suitable to become our manifestation, because you are [very suitable], because you will become our manifestation in the future, so you are very suitable... so you are very suitable to become our..."
"..."
Yinla couldn't help but cover his head again. He really couldn't take it anymore. He managed to stay upright and changed the subject, asking about other things: "I'll assume you believe what you say for now... So, let's move on to the next topic."
This is also a very crucial issue—
Why do you believe the world is destined to end? In what specific form?
"..."
The goddess girl was also concerned about this issue.
And the snake, finally ready to speak, rested her chin on her hand and said, "Okay, actually it's not 'world destruction' but 'end,' to put it simply... a 'destined god' is about to be born."
Clearly, the "god" in the snake-shedding story does not refer to a goddess like a young girl.
"To be more precise, it is the [Lord of All Realms], so the worlds are preparing to cleanse themselves and welcome the [link] from the other party."
The loli snakeskin added to the mature snakeskin's words, explaining in detail: "The world itself will send [beasts (world consciousness)] to destroy humans and all other intelligent life, to kill everything and cleanse everything... This is the world's own idea."
"..."
"I can't win?"
"Ira asked."
In response, the molting snake-woman replied: "Uh, yes... but even if the two of us could barely win, killing, injuring, or imprisoning the [Beast] wouldn't benefit the world. It's an unsolvable situation."
"..."
This is... absolutely infuriating!
