"If any demon that lacks the required constitution is exposed to the air in Death Paradise, their blood will lose its power and eventually die if their exposure is prolonged," Supre Ruler Grant explained. "Fortunately, the poison is confined to Death Paradise and won't spread outside. If it did, we would have been wiped out long ago."
'I will need to investigate this further myself later...' Yuan thought to himself.
"Now tell about the other two Supre Rulers and why they want to invade my world," he then inquired.
"Their reason for wanting to invade your world?" Supre Ruler Grant stared at Yuan with a blank expression for a mont before muttering, "I have no idea."
"What?" Yuan frowned.
"I-I swear!" he hastily continued. "They have never ntioned anything like that to !"
"And you accepted it without question? Are you really that stupid?" Yuan asked.
Supre Ruler Grant shook his head and admitted, "To be frank, I didn't. After all, the idea made sense back then… and it still does even now! Not to ntion, it would resolve our issue, even if it's only a temporary one. At least, it would give us so more ti to find another solution."
Yuan looked at Supre Ruler Dena and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"
She shook her head
"No, I barely spoke with them before."
"In that case, I'll have to figure it out myself when I visit them," Yuan sighed. "Unless I stop them, they will definitely invade my world later."
"Where do you want to go first?" Supre Ruler Dena then asked.
"What's the closest?"
"The Bone Atoll." "The Bone Atoll, it is."
She nodded.
"Then I'll take us there now."
"Wait." Yuan said before turning to look at Supre Ruler Grant. "You're coming with us."
"What?!" Supre Ruler Grant exclaid. "Why do I have to co with you?! This is your problem, not mine! And I've already agreed not to invade your world, so just leave alone!" "You can either co with us, or you can go to hell. Which do you prefer?" Yuan glared at him.
"You…! Do you have no sha?! How can you still threaten after our agreent?! Are all humans as despicable as you?!"
"No, so are even worse." Yuan smiled.
"Anyway, even if you already promised not to invade my world, it doesn't change the fact that you're still involved in this whole situation and my world is still in danger, so until we completely resolve this issue, our agreent is on hold."
"What about him?" Supre Ruler Dena's gaze shifted to Lev, who was waiting for them in a safe area with Purple beside him.
"I'll let him decide."
A mont later, Yuan asked Lev, "We're going to et the Supre Ruler of Bone Atoll right now. Do you want to co along or stay here? Once again, I cannot guarantee your safety."
"I doubt it'll be more dangerous than what I've already experienced on our way here," Lev said with a stiff smile. "In fact, I'm beginning to think the safest place in this world is by your side, so I'll follow you even to the end of this world!" Yuan nodded.
"Then let's go."
"At least let heal first—" Supre Ruler Grant requested, but was interrupted when Supre Ruler Dena suddenly used Void Manipulation, teleporting them millions of miles in the blink of an eye.
However, the distance from the City of Blood to the Bone Atoll was so imnse that it required several more teleportations to reach their destination.
"So this is the Bone Atoll, huh?" Yuan muttered as they returned to the Bloody Expanse.
"We're still in the Crimson Continent," Supre Ruler Dena corrected, then moved forward a few paces.
"Co here," she then said.
Yuan nodded and flew to her.
The mont he crossed an invisible threshold, the air shifted. It wasn't just the scent or atmosphere that changed, either. The gravity also grew several tis heavier, as if he'd walked into another world. But when he looked around, the landscape remained unchanged.
"Wow…what an odd feeling," Lev said as he entered the Bone Atoll for the first ti.
"Though we all share the sa plane, the three regions are separated by invisible barriers—each one a bubble with its own rules and environnt," explained Supre Ruler Grant.
"This also ans that the rules from one continent don't apply to another continent," he added.
"Isn't that right, Supre Ruler Dena?" Supre Ruler Grant uttered her na without fear.
"You can't utter her na in the Crimson Continent even as the Supre Ruler?" Yuan asked.
"Of course not. A rule that doesn't apply to everyone isn't a proper one," he sneered.
"Wow, I didn't think you were capable of saying such a thing," Yuan said with a surprised face.
Supre Ruler Grant frowned at his comnt.
"Are you implying that I am evil and have no sense of justice?" Yuan silently shrugged.
"Umm… if the rules in this region are different… how do we know what's against the rule and what isn't? What if we accidentally invoke Demon God's Wrath?" Lev suddenly asked.
"Unfortunately, there's no way to know unless you ask the residents of this region. This is also why people avoid traversing to other regions," said Supre Ruler Dena.
"No way… then how do we avoid breaking the rules by accident?"
"It's quite simple. Don't talk unless necessary, and don't make unnecessary movents."
"..."
Lev was speechless, and he was beginning to regret following them to another region, where he could die by uttering a forbidden word by accident.
Yuan looked at Supre Ruler Grant and said, "As the Supre Ruler, you should be familiar with the rules of this place, no?"
"Nope."
"And you expect to believe that?" Yuan refused to believe that a Supre Ruler would not know the rules of a neighboring region even if he rarely visited them.
Supre Ruler Grant shrugged.
"Believe it or not, this is actually my first ti leaving the Crimson Continent. When we have our etings, we would et at the tripoint, where the borders for all three regions are connected."
