After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King Chapter 277 - 21: Divine Transmission Array

"Look, this spot right here is where the treasure box monster swallowed your father whole... However, when Favignano was spit out, he laughed in fury and burned the treasure box monster to ashes."

Yila pointed at a vacant area in the corridor, where the marks left by flas were still visible... showing Favignano’s anger at that ti.

"Hoo hoo hoo~"

"Hahaha..."

Hilena and Satan Ye started laughing simultaneously. Hilena maintained so modesty, covering her mouth to stifle her laughter... but Satan Ye laughed loudly and happily without such concerns.

In so sense, this could be considered an unfortunate family incident, though that guy might not care.

(Favignano: Hi hi hi!)

*Yila wondered if it was just an illusion, but he had a feeling that people he knew, though dead, weren’t completely gone and that they would et again soday... whether friends or foes.*

*To be honest, he wasn’t the type to be nostalgic, making this feeling quite strange.*

"Hahaha... actually, I always thought my father was a very powerful man."

Satan Ye stopped laughing, looking at the burn marks around her. She said, "And in my mory, my father was rather... serious; he just liked fighting a lot. I never thought he was so..."

Here, she found it difficult to find a suitable word.

Favignano liking fighting? That was an understatent; he *really* loved fighting... maybe because he had so many burdens on his shoulders, and only in fierce combat could he temporarily set them aside.

"A codian?"

Yila offered, which was a very fitting description.

"Eh?"

But clearly, neither Satan Ye nor Hilena understood the term... It seed there was no such word in this world.

"Don’t understand? Let think... didn’t expect Favignano to be so [quirky]?"

Yila corrected himself, and the two nodded in agreent. Though Satan Ye, because of her [father filter], had a misconception, Hilena actually understood Favignano’s [quirkiness]...

Of course, also due to the [great Demon King] filter.

"Actually, I think Favignano and Yose—Isabella’s father—are two very similar kings, though Yose wasn’t as strong as Favignano, and Favignano wasn’t as sharp in state affairs as Yose."

Yila said, rcilessly comparing the two, "But in terms of personality, they both had a child-like innocence, similar to kings found in fairy tales... being a good king doesn’t set a high bar."

In this world, the threshold for being a good king was low. The key lay in how [good] one wanted to be, so Yila felt... maybe his expectations for Isabella were too high.

Like sending a child to nurous interest classes—piano, athletics, painting... empathizing, maybe Isabella truly couldn’t handle it.

Although she was seriously learning them all.

"Innocent?"

Hilena, who had just recovered from seasickness, said as she followed Yila’s steps alongside Satan Ye, passing through rugged stone pillars into a side hall, "I don’t know what King Yose was like, but... can innocence be considered a good trait?"

That good trait naturally referred to [innocence].

*How to describe this world’s innocence? Innocence regarding [life and death], innocence regarding [existence], innocence regarding the [future]... even oneself is such.*

*The kingdom in his mory was born from countless [innocences], intertwined with countless miracles nad [AI], [awakening], [resolution].*

*So to lead [innocent subjects], to guide [innocent civilians], to trust [innocent Yila], the leader must be the so-called [innocent king].*

"Absolutely not good... but not too bad either."

Yila said, looking at the massive stone door with its gap just wide enough for soone to squeeze through. He glanced at himself, then at Satan Ye, and said, "I don’t think such a king can maintain an eternal kingdom."

"But if they’re only innocent towards [those worthy], that’s a different story."

Yila seed to be speaking about sothing difficult to understand, rubbing Satan Ye’s head without explaining further... This was why he felt the Demon King Territory was more suitable for his vision of the future compared to the empire.

"Oh, I completely understand (actually, I don’t understand at all)"

Satan Ye nodded thoughtfully, looking at Yila who had stopped at the door. She asked, "Is this where you and my father saw the chanical bodies? Are we going in?"

"..."

Yes, previously Favignano and Yila had squeezed through a gap in the huge door, which had remained open... but now they couldn’t squeeze through.

Yila and Satan Ye could, but Hilena... her balloon might burst from the squeeze.

*It was hard to know which side to feel sorry for...*

Yila discreetly glanced over Hilena, keeping [First Wing Pillar·Crimson Dragon·Wing Spread] activated behind him, casually placing his hand on the door and dissolving it into an opening big enough for three people to pass side by side.

Such control was one of the reasons for Yila’s strength.

So, Favignano always felt that if he passed his mana to Yila, it would surely turn the world upside down... he wasn’t wrong.

And that included standing on Satan Ye’s side.

(Favignano: Ha! Won big ti.)

"Let’s go."

Yila said as he quickly walked into the room filled with nurous chanical bodies, taking out the [Artificial Divine Tears] from his pocket and simply placing it into a slot in the room.

In the next mont, the swirling blue light spread from the [Artificial Divine Tears] location into visible mana circuits, extending along the walls towards the chanical bodies.

Those steel statues, their dim chests, the inner cores gradually started to shine...

"Satan Ye, drip a drop of blood onto the control panel for the basic authentication... Blood is the currency of the soul, wherever in the plane it remains unchanged."

Yila said as he scanned the room... The blue paths seed to converge at the center of the room, aside from activating chanical bodies.

The vacant center, for such a tightly structured building, indeed counted as a large blank space. Wait, could it be...

"Whoa! A portal!!!!!!"

Yila’s loud exclamation caused Satan Ye, who was about to cut her finger, to tremble... resulting in excessive bleeding!

"Wowowowowow!!!"

Amid Satan Ye’s wail, blood splashed onto the control panel, formally activating the statues and the magic array surrounded by blue lines.
