Chapter 259: Chapter 3 Yila 3 Looks Great

"The term ’outclass’ was truly terrifying. How should I put it... It’s a name known by very few, at least among civilians. The understanding of this identity was far lower than that of a ’Legend.’

But it was an unchangeable class...

...

Simply put, when you mastered a certain ability or held a particular identity, coupled with ultimate power, you would be outclassed. This process couldn’t be controlled, nor could it be defined deceptively.

Take Wenresa, for example. She was a typical ’identity outclassed;’ she was outclassed by her identity as a Divine Half-Elf, whereas Yaylimeinoceyatos by her side was a typical ’ability outclassed’... outclassed by the ’Supreme Technique.’

In other words, being outclassed was a transcendent logic, an inherent rule.

And eternal life, supreme power, these were common traits of the outclassed.

For people like Wenresa and Yaylimeinoceyatos, who had achieved outclassing on the Main Plane, exterminating a country, or even a continent, was incredibly easy.

Others not from the Main Plane would become weak upon arriving, but they were still powerful enough to annihilate nations... not just small countries, but vast empires and duchies.

So, Yila shouldn’t have had any confidence in surviving at all.

"What do you mean by ’only die once’? Do you have the power of resurrection?"

Franziska Bru asked. Although his hands were bound by chains embedded deeply into his flesh, he didn’t show the slightest panic, just asked calmly.

Rather than being calm, his current attitude was better described as resigned.

"I have no need to say so much to a prisoner."

Having said a lot earlier, Yila remarked, looking at the suspended Blood Clan member. "It’s time for you to talk about yourself... Why did you choose to betray?"

Senata seemed to want to say something regarding Yila’s words, but after thinking it over, she gave up.

"Ah, my niece probably knows the answer to that... Mainly, we didn’t want to continue fighting with the Governor."

Franziska spoke with a light laugh, as if amused by fate. "However, that was the reason we left the Demon King Territory, not the reason for betrayal... We were merely dissatisfied."

Dissatisfied? Probably discontent over Favignano’s early death...

It seemed that Franziska sensed what Yila was thinking. He shook his head and said, "It’s not related to the Demon King... not to the former Demon King. Our dissatisfaction stemmed only from Satan Ye’s inaction."

Calling Satan Ye by name, it seemed he really disliked her...

"We don’t hate Satan Ye, nor do we despise her... but she is absolutely unfit to be a Demon King."

Franziska spoke with some warmth in his eyes, gazing at Yila with deep affection, questioning, "Don’t you think so, Mr. Yila?"

His good looks indeed gave him the capital to play the charming role, but... Tipcapu already pulled off that feminine façade, and a pure male doing the same disgusted Yila.

Just like Caligula.

However, Franziska’s content made sense. On the topic of the ’Demon King’ position, Satan Ye was clearly not competent... if Yila had to choose, Hilena would probably be the best candidate for Demon King.

Before Yila arrived, the Demon King Territory relied entirely on Hilena’s support.

"Uncle, you can’t use Mana anymore... instead of being enchanting, it just feels disgusting."

At Senata’s words, Franziska laughed. Forgetting this detail, he wasn’t embarrassed at all but supplemented, "Soft, lacking power, kind-hearted, with no plans for the future... anyone can be the Demon King, but not Satan Ye."

Franziska continued, more interested as he saw Yila nodding with no reaction, saying, "It could be Hilena, it could be you, it could be Senata, but Satan Ye is certainly unfit."

The rhetoric was indeed compelling, and the logic self-consistent, but Yila had heard too many similar arguments...

"Including you?"

To Yila’s question, Franziska nodded confidently... no doubt, including him.

"Though whether it includes you is irrelevant, you have no right to judge her worthiness as a ruler. You can leave the Demon King Territory, no one is stopping you, but you didn’t pay taxes... so, you betrayed not Satan Ye but the rules and system."

Yila spoke, simplifying Franziska’s stance to a matter of ’right or wrong,’ rather than ’qualified or not,’ maintaining a sound moral perspective. "If you’re dissatisfied, you can voice it; if you can’t bear it, you can leave... but you chose another path."

"In other words, Satan Ye has done nothing to wrong you; only you are at fault, yet you seek to justify your actions... haven’t I said the right thing?"

As Yila spoke, he looked at the stiffened Franziska and shrugged, continuing, "I don’t think Satan Ye is incapable of accepting criticism. In other words... what led to everything was your ambition, not the so-called ’inaction of Satan Ye.’

"..."

Franziska: "I didn’t..."

Yila: "You can lie, but don’t deceive yourself. That would be embarrassing."

"..."

"..."

Franziska: "..."

Seeing Franziska remain silent, his face becoming grim, Yila shook his head indifferently. He turned to the equally silent Senata and asked, "He is your uncle, Senata? What do you intend to do with him?"

Startled to be addressed suddenly, Senata lifted her head. She remembered that Hilena and the others had entrusted Franziska’s matter entirely to Yila. Pointing to herself, she asked, "Eh? Me?"

"Yes, you handle it... whether to kill or release, it’s up to you."

"..."

"It appears, Yila trusts you a lot, young one from the Abunisaya family."

Watching Yila leave, handing the Half-plane Prison to Senata, Franziska commented.

"It’s not just Mr. Yila who trusts me... but everyone in the Demon King Territory, including even Satan Ye. Uncle, you should know this, but you betrayed everyone’s trust."

Shaking her head while speaking, Senata followed closely behind Yila, preparing to leave the Half-plane Prison, hardly giving Franziska a glance.

Senata: "You’ll stay here forever... until you have to admit that Satan Ye is the best Demon King."

Franziska: "Unfortunately, I’ll never see that day."

Senata: "..."

Finally, Senata couldn’t resist turning her head. She cast a sorrowful glance at Franziska, said nothing more, and simply turned and left.

The meaning in her eyes was obvious...

She knew Franziska understood everything but was unwilling to admit his despicable nature. It was needless, didn’t require words, or even execution...

A pathetic, ridiculous clown.
