After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King Chapter 267 - 11 The Two Misunderstood

"All souls went to the sa afterlife. The World Tree was worth hoping for. The so-called ’going to hell’ was just that; it only existed in spoken language and was not actually associated with Hell itself."

"Hell had a highly variable climate and was the most hostile environnt among the Nine Realms, filled with blazing fire, frost, poisonous miasma, swamps, and the Blood Pond scattered throughout Hell."

"Travelers from the Main Plane, upon entering Hell, typically encountered innurable Little Demons and Demon Worms’ attacks, and even threats from so Demon Lords... It was not a good place for tourism."

"Hell was ruled by the Demon King’s three sisters: the King of Hatred - phisto, the King of Destruction - Baal, and the King of Fear - Diablo, known as so of the strongest beings among the Nine Realms."

In other words, they were considered beyond comparison...

*Yila thought this as he continued flipping through the book titled ’Hell Studies.’ He sat under the forest’s shade, turning to the next page with his slender fingers.*

*During his previous trip to the theocratic country, the so-called ’Underground Demon King City’ was not entirely bait to lure Yila over. Vera indeed obtained relevant information from those legends’ mories.*

But it was only rather superficial information.

*However, he still understood a few things... For example, the demons betraying the Demon King Territory to enter Hell had their bloodline extinct. The chanisms in the Underground Demon King City had beco obsolete and were now left abandoned in Hell.*

*Currently, it was inhabited by powerful demons and used as ordinary residences. All aspects of the chanisms, facilities, and weapons needed demons with the ’Underground Demon King’ lineage to restart.*

*It was now unknown whether such lineage of demons still existed in the world. And at that ti, the na of the betrayer was—*

"Matthias Astorga Ogenie Godwin Mansur Iglesias Ingrid Smart Silvester Zloyutro Elliot Astimos"

*This was the True Na of the deceased betrayer, a True Na belonging to a demon.*

*In this world, demons were just like those in Yila’s previous world view of demons. Knowing the other’s True Na allowed one to control them at will... Thus, demons generally only reported their commonly used nas when introducing themselves.*

Like Hilena, Tipcapu, and others.

*This ’na’ decided ’aning.’ The thing that made a ’na,’ often rely a title, full of aning was its own bloodline... This was also a reflection of bloodline power.*

*Power inherited from the bloodline naturally required responsibility from the bloodline, but demons’ True Nas and bloodlines were inherited from the world itself, not ancestors.*

Besides the self-defined first na, the following surna was given by the world.

"..."

"Astimos."

*Yila read out loud the last segnt of the True Na of the traitor Vera had inford him about, a demon who had defected from the Demon King Territory to Hell, contemplating sothing alone.*

*Demons’ bloodline... But for demons, only succubi could give birth, right? It was impossible for Little Demons born from the sa Blood Pond to share the sa bloodline.*

*Bloodline extinction... the ’Underground Demon King’ bloodline extinction in Hell.*

"..."

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

*As Yila pondered, he heard buzzing from behind, interrupting his thoughts. He turned his head to see a giant bee holding a leaf. There seed to be so thick amber liquid on the leaf.*

*Honey? For ?*

*Thinking this, Yila watched as the giant bee handed him the leaf with honey. He nodded, accepting the leaf and thanking the delightedly flying bee: "Thank you." *

*After the previous ’Quadruped Riot,’ Yila seed to have beco a famous figure in the forest, with nearly a group of animal friends providing him with fruits and nuts regularly.*

But this was the first ti a giant bee ca over with honey. After lightly sipping the honey, Yila continued reading the book, then suddenly realized sothing... Giant bees were wasps; they were at-eaters and did not produce honey. Where did this honey co from?

*Thinking this, Yila confusedly looked at the distant bee, then at the honey in his hands, and then at the seemingly busy honeybee battle far away. He seed to understand.*

*Goodness, it’s stolen!*

*The giant bee intended to kill the honeybees for their at, and the excess honey was sent to him... clever~*

*Thinking this, Yila couldn’t help but laugh softly. He looked down at the ’Hell Studies’ book in his hands, barely reading a few words before suddenly realizing... If the honey was stolen by the wasp, then it must be stolen.*

*This associative thinking was quite normal.*

*So, if the anti-Underground Demon King Territory succubi were descendants of the surviving succubi, if there truly were demons who inherited the bloodline of the ’Underground Demon King (Underground Demon King City),’ they must be in the Demon King Territory.*

*Although they themselves might not be aware of it.*

"Tipcapu."

*Yila opened up dialogue permissions with Tipcapu in his mind, asking... Usually it would be ’take to XXX place,’ but this ti he had other purposes.*

*[Tipcapu: ...]*

*While Tipcapu waited, Yila looked in the direction of the Demon King Territory, faintly seeing Tipcapu boxing on the terrace and asked him: "What’s your full na? I an, your True Na." *

*[Tipcapu: Huh?]*

*Though Tipcapu did not understand why Yila showed interest in his True Na, as Yila’s dedicated servant (although not very close, mostly running errands), since Yila wanted to know, he would tell.*

*[Tipcapu: My True Na... Yes, I am Tipcapu Shana Wexman Divar Pavlichenko...]*

*Before Tipcapu could finish, Yila lost interest in the topic. He interrupted Tipcapu, saying: "Wait, I don’t intend to control everything about you... I just wanted to know if there is anyone nad so-and-so Astorga in the Demon King Territory." *

*Although True Na rules might not necessarily work like this, it was worth trying.*

"Or soone nad so-and-so so-and-so Astimos."

*Tipcapu didn’t quite understand Yila’s topic.*

*[Tipcapu: It does sound like a demon’s True Na... But we only know our own True Nas. Besides Lord Satan Ye knowing Lady Hilena’s True Na, nobody else knows ours.] *

"Got it. Take to Hilena."

——————————

"Hilena, I have a question for you..."

*Yila said this, scaring Hilena who was researching a glass bottle. Then, in her nodding permission, he asked: "Is your True Na Hilena Astorga... or Hilena Shashasha Astimos or sothing?"*

"..."

"..."

"Huh? Indeed it’s Astimos... But why would Lord Yila..."

"..."

*Seed like he hit the jackpot. Initially, he was prepared to ask around the entire Demon King Territory, then realized... the Underground Demon King bloodline might also manifest in power, naturally being in high positions.*

*Now it appeared to be true indeed...*

*Thinking this, Yila revealed a serious expression. He placed his hand on Hilena’s shoulder who didn’t show any panic despite her True Na information being exposed and said solemnly: "Hilena, you possess the bloodline of the ’Underground Demon King.’" *

"..."

Hilena: "Huh?"

*No way, Favignano isn’t much older than ... Or is he actually my elder brother?!*

*Satan Ye (worldview collapse): "Quaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"*
