Although Ira said things like "I am your lieutenant" to Satan Ye, after thinking about it for a moment... she still let Sirina bring Satan Ye along.
On the one hand, when Ira was speaking in front of all the kings, Satan was sitting alone at the round table with no one to talk to, which might make her feel a little uncomfortable.
On the other hand, Ira realized that her identity might be a bit problematic... Putting aside everything else, if she continued to sit next to Satan, Isabella might get upset.
"..."
"Phew~"
Ira touched the scarlet World Rune on her neck. To be honest... when she wasn't angry, she could feel the Wing Pillar and Mana pulsating within her body. The feeling wasn't bad, but it was a bit strange.
Then, for the first time, Ira realized that people were dying in this world every single moment...
Yes, after obtaining the snake woman's so-called "stage reward," Ira's absorption range of Mana in the world did indeed increase "a little bit."
The extent is roughly... the size of the entire main plane.
Ira had always been aware that people were dying every moment, but when the manas of the dead from all over the world converged on her... her feelings at that moment had nothing to do with whether she was aware of it or not.
Moreover, the ice and snow had just melted when a hint of heat could already be felt... This kind of weather caused by the disaster led to a further surge in the number of deaths.
What surged forth was not only Mana, but also the souls of the dead that Mana enveloped.
Those souls also entered Ira's body... Ironically, the "Soul Federation," a civilization that never existed before, experienced a sudden and explosive increase in its population after Tekap was corrupted.
However, there's no need to worry about the Federation not having enough room... After all, there are still space cities to live in, and every race will find its own way out, just like the past within their souls.
[Tikkap: It seems everyone considers this place to be the divine realm where the dead arrive, and some even speculate that it's inside the World Tree... Lord Ira, shall we tell them the truth?]
As Ira listened to Tekkapan's conversation with him, he looked at the vast expanse of silenced souls within his own soul from a unique perspective... If they were all activated, it would probably be incredibly noisy.
Currently, only Tikkap and Raphael can communicate directly with Ira... even Vera and the others, whose souls are also in their own bodies but who have not gone to the Federation, are no exception.
[Ira: No, and tell Raphael not to tell them either... Anyway, all hostile actions will be converted into imaginary numbers by the AI. Hmm... never mind, after those who know the truth have left, you should also tell them to keep it from everyone as much as possible.]
[Ira: But it's not absolute. Let's just keep this part of the truth hidden for now, until I feel it's necessary...]
Tikkapu: Understood.
"..."
Ira rested his chin on his hand. Apart from telling Tekap not to tell the truth to everyone in his soul, he would also not tell the truth to everyone in the prime plane for the time being... Sometimes, knowing that there is a way out is not a good thing.
Although the transformation of Mana and the absorption of her soul into his body were not uncontrollable passive actions and did not cause any harm, it made Ira even more suspicious that the woman might have ulterior motives...
Soul, spirit world, physical body... are they all connected in some way?
After going to the World Tree, besides learning that "the calamity has nothing to do with that guy," my doubts not only didn't decrease, but actually increased, which is really frustrating.
As Ira thought this, he watched the kings arrive one after another, and saw many of them whom he had had some contact and communication with before... Indeed, there were many high-ranking figures in his social circle.
It could even be said that, aside from the so-called "upper-class" circles that some people fight tooth and nail to squeeze into, Ira simply lived a casual life, and thus naturally found himself in those circles.
No, actually you could say... Ira himself is an important part of this circle.
Ira sat on the field, watching one king after another arrive. With the help of mage apprentices and some mages, those who sat in the Great Hall were either young kings, or perhaps young princesses or princes... Of course, there were also many elderly ones.
In this world, one's seniority and age cannot be judged by appearance, which is perhaps what makes this world so interesting.
Of course, some of the kings of great powers have not yet arrived; many of those who have come here are kings of small countries... surviving in the gaps between nations, they also regard each city as a nation.
They are usually vassal states of a major power... in this case, a duchy.
Because other countries don't have this custom.
...
The key person cannot arrive too early... This is something that Ira taught Isabella, and she passed it on to Satan today. So now, Sirina and Satan are learning in the Tower of Pure White.
Yes, he learns (and plays) under the guidance of his teacher, Chiara Rudnev. Although many people feel that Chiara is a very serious teacher who often punishes many students with an iron fist.
However, as long as the other party is not one's student, or the student is very smart and doesn't require much effort, then the tutor is actually a very easy-going person and has a childlike heart.
