After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King
Chapter 177 - 46: Watching the Sea?

Chapter 177: Chapter 46: Watching the Sea?

Because of the extreme strength Yila exhibited, along with the terrifying descriptions provided by other leaders, combined with their respectful attitudes... Satan Ye developed a significantly skewed perception of the strength of transcendent beings in the world.

First, it’s worth mentioning that each of the leaders was not weak at all.

In terms of a typical RPG game, the leaders could all be considered the [strongest] subordinates of the [Demon King], equivalent to the level of the [Four Heavenly Kings] just below the final boss.

If we consider the former Demon King... who was Favignano, and treat his power as that of the [final BOSS], then the leaders could be recognized as [next to the strongest].

Unfortunately, due to Yila’s appearance, Satan Ye naturally categorized Yila as the [strongest] tier, which meant the remaining leaders’ statuses had to be pushed back accordingly.

But it shouldn’t have been that way...

After all, Yila should not be considered in the ranking of strength tiers, because he was a unique powerhouse in the world, rarely matched by anyone.

How to put it, as previously mentioned, Yila was one of the few SSRs in the empire, but... Yose ranked as SSR because his power was approximately at the SSR level, while Yila ranked as SSR because there wasn’t a concept of UR.

Because the highest level was SSR...

Moreover, even within the same tier, there were distinctions between levels, but where in the world could there be so many [strong] individuals? If professions and transcendent beings were divided into ten batches based on power and not averaged by number,

Then it would be easy to find that one person or a few people would constitute an entire tier.

Lodya and Blake Black, unsurprisingly, were probably among the top 5% strongest in the world... Don’t underestimate the creatures of the Demon King Territory; after all, it was not a small domain, and Lodya was not a Knight Captain of a small territory.

Even though she usually appeared like a loyal ordinary Knight Captain, Lodya was one of the strongest in a realm. Described again through an RPG game: if the cap in the Main Material Plane was level one hundred, then Lodya was at least level ninety-six.

What? You mention special cases and some legends? Hmm... they exceeded level one hundred; strictly speaking, those who stayed in the Main Material Plane were like other players returning to the Newbie Village.

Generally, they wouldn’t attack the newcomers... though, there were some with perverted minds, but they would eventually be besieged by other special cases. Some people just had that desire; it couldn’t be helped.

Yila was even more outrageous; if described in game terms, he utilized the game’s bugs and even stole the game’s administrative rights (World Tree) to play.

So, the people in the Demon King Territory were definitely not weak... at least in the Main Material Plane, which had favorable living conditions and could be called the [Newbie Village], the martial strength of the Demon King Territory was certainly stronger than the Imperial Capital or the main city of the Duchy.

Sadly, the scenario where capitals collide and engage in melee combat wouldn’t happen.

One could even say that having unmatched strength meant nothing; Yila could indeed easily kill many people, but then what? The world he aspired to wasn’t one that could be achieved by endless killing.

*The world was too real, so real it made one feel nauseous...* *No matter how strong the power was, some dreams could never be realized; after all, he wasn’t some magnetic field powerhouse who could go mad in fantasies.*

Yila wasn’t working hard to see Utopia again... not to [see] it again, but to [rebuild] it, not just leaving home alone, but because in that distant place, he was the only one who survived.

The sea was a fascinating thing, obviously a symbol of exploration away from home, but looking at the ocean always brought back memories of home... The waves glimmering under moonlight were beautiful,

"..."

"Splash~"

Amid the sound of waves, a sleepy-eyed fishman swam up from the sea, then hopped to the shore in a half-dream state, seemingly heading to do something.

Yila, sitting on the beach and gazing at the sea, looked at the mermaid under the moonlight... To be honest, he couldn’t distinguish each mermaid, but given her demeanor, she was likely the Mermaid Leader.

"Hey... are you going to..."

Yila spoke, his sudden voice startling the drowsy Mermaid Leader, who nearly jumped back into the sea before Yila could finish his sentence.

About ten seconds later, she realized Yila was talking to her.

"Phew, Yila, what are you doing... up so late without sleeping, staying here."

The Mermaid Leader complained, clutching her heaving chest, "That scared me to death, ha... Is it because you’re too excited to sleep because we’re sailing tomorrow?"

Yes, they were setting off for the Silver Moon Tree Court tomorrow, but Yila wasn’t too excited to sleep; he wasn’t a primary school student looking forward to a spring or autumn excursion.

Yila was thinking about the past... and the future.

"I was just thinking, just looking at the sea and the moon... What about you? Why did you come ashore in the middle of the night?"

Yila asked.

"To take a dump."

The Mermaid Leader replied.

"..."

What a crude answer! Couldn’t she say [go to the bathroom]? Well, people in this world didn’t care about that...

Nodding while mentally complaining, Yila didn’t say [Why don’t you just do it in the sea?], but he became curious about other things. Looking at her tail, he asked, "How do you guys excrete? Use a cloaca?"

But if they were fish, the cloaca would be used for both reproduction and excretion, right?

"..."

After waiting for a long time without an answer, Yila looked at the Mermaid Leader’s face in confusion, only to see a look of shame and anger. She didn’t answer his question but hurriedly... went to the bathroom.

Her face turned red with shame, probably fleeing in panic?

"..."

Only then did Yila realize that mermaids weren’t a species that could discuss such topics calmly. *The only one who could discuss such improper topics as seriously as he did was probably Hilena.*

*Sometimes Hilena’s seriousness about such weird questions was even too much for Yila.*

"..."

Yila silently looked into the distance, towards the towering World Tree... they were about to meet again, the self-proclaimed deity, the consciousness residing in the World Tree. What kind of existence was it really?

During their first meeting, Yila had many speculations, and now he felt the worst of those speculations had come true, after all...
