Volume 8, Chapter 4 – Inferno Invasion?

Being held in the arms like this by the catgirl who had just woken up was something Tianyin truly never expected.

But what Yeluo said next left Tianyin feeling a bit dazed.

“Xiaoyin, is that you? Could it be that you’ve also left this world?”

“Huh? What are you saying? Sister Yeluo, what are you talking about?”

“Eh? Isn’t it?”

The hazy catgirl’s memory was still stuck at the moment she handed her power over to Tianyin, so she didn’t know what happened after that.

So the instant she woke up, she actually thought this place was the world “after death”.

Yeah, it sounded kind of ridiculous, but Yeluo really did think so right now.

“Of course not, hey… Well, Sister Yeluo just woke up, so maybe you still don’t understand anything yet, um… like this, at least right now, Sister Yeluo, you need to be clear about one thing.”

As she spoke, Tianyin broke free from Yeluo’s embrace. Even though her little face still carried the blush from the kiss just now, her tone was fairly normal.

Then she raised one finger.

“That is, Sister Yeluo, you’re still alive~”

“Eh?”

“Eh eh eh eh eh??!”

“I’m still alive, Xiaoyin?”

Without a doubt, this wasn’t something the catgirl could accept right away.

So after Tianyin stated that “absolutely true” fact, the first reaction from the catgirl Yeluo was to let out a surprised cry on instinct.

“You’re lying, right? You’re lying, right? Xiaoyin… Xiaoyin, did you defeat that Beastmen Prophet?”

“Mhm~ Of course. Sister Yeluo, don’t you even look at who I am? I’m the best in the whole world!”

Even if those words carried a hint of Tianyin hyping herself up, to Yeluo it was nothing important. Compared to Tianyin’s proud, smug expression, what Yeluo cared about more was her own people.

Yes.

After waking up, and after learning she hadn’t died and that the Beastmen Prophet had been defeated by Tianyin.

The first thing Yeluo thought of was her own people, the situation of those Half-beast.

“Xiaoyin, since you defeated the Beastmen, then what about my people? How are my people?”

“Heh, heh, don’t worry, Sister Yeluo. Dawn accepted all the Half-beast. Not only that, the vast majority of Dawn’s citizens are Sister Yeluo’s people~ And within Dawn’s army, there are also a huge number of Half-beast~”

“R-Really?”

What Tianyin said was exactly the outcome Yeluo most wanted to see.

For Yeluo, who had always entrusted her entire life to her people, the safety of her people was, no matter what, placed first.

And after hearing Tianyin’s words, the newly awakened Yeluo felt as if something heavy in her heart had disappeared for the first time.

“It’s true, Sister Yeluo. You have to believe me!”

“Mm-hm, I believe Xiaoyin! If it’s Xiaoyin, if it’s Xiaoyin… you can definitely help me save my people!”

Yeluo was so moved by Tianyin that she couldn’t contain herself.

So, in that especially excited mood, Yeluo once again pulled Tianyin tightly into her arms.

“Wuu…”

Caught off guard and held in Yeluo’s arms, Tianyin felt herself sink into a softness that was impossible to describe.

And after a few seconds, Tianyin started to feel like she couldn’t breathe.

“Wuu… I… I’m going to suffocate…”

Who would’ve thought that a dignified Throne-tier loli would end up struggling because she was suffocating in the embrace of a catgirl who had just woken up…

……

For Tianyin, today was the day Xingyu Muxi left, and also the day the catgirl Yeluo awakened.

But for the native NPCs of the entire Kingdom and the players from the real world, today was also a day they would never forget.

Because today, Yunchou forcibly announced an order for the native NPCs to evacuate from more than half of the Kingdom’s territory. And as Yunchou issued this order, the players of the entire world erupted in an uproar.

Of course, not many people understood what Yunchou was doing. As for Yunchou’s order, the players belonging to the Kingdom Faction obediently chose to carry it out, while the players outside the Kingdom watched in confusion, ready to enjoy the show.

But very soon, the expressions of those players who were just watching for entertainment became spectacular.

Rеaԁ оո КatRеаdingСаfе

Because as Yunchou inexplicably gave up half the territory, those players who were standing by and watching noticed some figures that were rarely seen in the Main World.

More precisely, they were existences that the vast majority of players had only seen, but had never heard of.

And those existences… were demons from Inferno!

Yes, demons.

Demons were the synonym for chaotic evil. And as the figures of demons appeared across the territories Yunchou had evacuated, countless players who had been watching instantly understood one thing.

That was… an Inferno invasion.

Before this, within the northern region, in the area close to Dawn, there had been an incident that looked like an Inferno invasion. But in the end, players discovered it was only an invasion by dark creatures from the Underground World.

And that was indeed the truth. The invasion from the Underground World was easily crushed by Dawn in the end, which also proved that the previous invasion was not an Inferno invasion.

However, this time was completely different.

Yunchou’s sudden operation instantly emptied out half of the Kingdom’s territory.

And on these emptied territories, countless demon activity could be seen.

Without a doubt, this time it should be an Inferno invasion.

And if this Inferno invasion was real, then Yunchou, who gave up half the territory, would naturally be the chief culprit behind the Inferno invasion.

And if that really was the case, then after Inferno started to raise war, Yunchou would very likely bring the Kingdom’s players and army and stand on Inferno’s side.

Not good.

Very not good.

An Inferno invasion was, without a doubt, the last thing those players who had survived within various factions for a long time wanted to see.

And for those players who had obtained a great many benefits within the major factions, it was even more something they were unwilling to accept.

If the result of the Inferno invasion was failure, that would still be acceptable.

But if Inferno gained victory.

Then for those players, their previous efforts would without a doubt be washed away.

And as the current leader of the entire Academy, the player who commanded the entire Arcane Empire, Andrew, was the player who least wanted to see an Inferno invasion.

“Yunchou… what the hell are you doing…?”

His brows tightly furrowed, as a dignified Throne-tier existence, Andrew also began thinking about Yunchou’s ultimate purpose in connecting with Inferno.

But Yunchou’s purpose was something Andrew couldn’t figure out no matter how he wracked his brain.

Because Andrew didn’t know Yunchou was a reborn one.

Likewise, Andrew also didn’t know the Abyssal Lord’s desire to become the End.
