It seems that the decision to communicate in advance was not wrong. After hesitating for a moment, Ella continued to add.

"Hmm, don't look for me. I'm in mid-air outside of Yoyo Island. Yoyo Island is very unstable right now. If we don't take care of it, it will definitely fall to the ground. It will take some time to deal with the situation on Yoyo Island. I'll leave it to Lotte."

"Okay, I understand. Next time, I hope you can tell me earlier."

"Ahahaha... this just came to mind. No, I'd better come back and apologize properly. If I continue, it'll be bad."

After saying this, Ella cut off the communication, flapped the pure white wings that only appeared in her Loli God state, and slowly pointed the palm of her hand at the hill on the island that was about to collapse.

"Solidify."

The function of "solidification" is not to make an object stronger, but to make two separate objects become a whole. When faced with something that is about to split into two halves, it is definitely the best choice. The hill that was about to collapse instantly stopped splitting.

"But this is just a temporary solution..."

Once the magic duration is over, the hill will be completely separated from the island.

"I didn't expect the Loli God's state could amplify magic to such an extent. It's only the first level of 'solidification', but it can even lift a hill. Although the magic power consumed has increased, it's nothing compared to the total amount..."

The magic just now consumed about one hundred points of magic power. Considering his current total magic power which is almost equivalent to five digits, it can't be considered as a consumption at all.

"This way, we can try even more outrageous magic."

After thinking about the next magic in her mind, Ella reached out her hand again.

"Surging Wind, Floating Technique."

Both of these spells belong to the category of second-level magic. Generally speaking, the maximum specification is to float up to three adults. Although theoretically increasing the output of magic power can increase the number of people lifted, almost no one can continue to output magic power beyond the limit. Therefore, it is usually only used by magic casters as magic to move objects.

It was as if an invisible giant hand was holding up the island, and Youyou Island stopped its downward momentum with extraordinary stability.

Ella, floating on the side of Yoyo Island, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is it under control for now? Now we just need to investigate the cause—no, it's not over yet."

Controlling the downward trend does not mean stopping the collapse of Youyou Island. It is as if someone is destroying the island. There are still signs of peeling on the edge of Youyou Island. Not only that, the gullies that originally covered the island have become deeper.

"Solidification... No, it would be terrible if it also fixed the residents in place. Do you think I need to use a higher-level magic?"

Ella sighed. The reason she didn't use high-level magic at the beginning was because the effects of high-level magic were too obvious and easy to make people associate them. But now it seems that if she holds back any longer, it will become an irreversible situation.

Repeating the action of taking deep breaths, Ella recalled a magic she had used in the past - a control skill at the ninety-ninth level, second only to super-level magic.

"Well, no one should be trying to escape from the island right now—"Eternal Cage"."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark red singularity the size of a fist appeared at the bottom of the conical island. Immediately afterwards, starting from the singularity, thick dark red thorns protruded from it. As if someone had pressed the fast-forward button, the thorns grew extremely rapidly. In just a few breaths, the bottom of Youyou Island was filled with constantly twisting dark red thorns. When there was no vacant space left, the thorns began to climb up the island. Their living-like movements, ominous body color, and huge thorns made people subconsciously feel terrified.

"It would be bad if it hurt the residents."

Muttering softly, Ella snapped her fingers as a signal to control the thorns.

With almost no reaction process, the originally crooked thorns suddenly stood up like soldiers, and like petals wrapping around the stamens, they quickly grew upwards and finally closed together above Youyou Island, wrapping the entire island into the shape of a dark red bud.

In F.Wing, Eternal Prison is typically used only in turf wars between guilds. Whether it's to prevent the target guild from unleashing ultra-ranged attack magic or to buy time for one's own guild to use super-level magic, the Eternal Prison, with its ability to imprison everything, is an excellent choice.

Of course, if it's just a confinement effect, there are many similar spells with lower costs. However, compared to other lower-level spells, the 99th-level "Eternal Cage" is completely out of specification in offensive and defensive battles. For the enemy, it is almost impossible to forcibly break the cage with magic in a short period of time without using super-level magic. Using super-level magic will definitely affect the buildings within the guild, making it extremely difficult to deal with. Therefore, the "Eternal Cage" is also known as the "Unbreakable".

“That being said, I’ve only used it once, as a character from the God-man tribe…”

At that time, I was hired by another guild. The employer asked me to imprison the other party with the "Eternal Cage" before the battle began, so that the employer could prepare large-scale magic. In the end, before the battle even started, the other party gave up the resistance after discovering that they could not break the Eternal Cage.

However, for Ella now, the use of the "Eternal Cage" is not for the imprisonment effect, but for the additional effect of the Eternal Cage, which can keep the building as it is - in the game, it is to prevent the opponent from destroying the building and forcibly breaking through the cage.

After the dark red thorns completely enveloped Yoyo Island and Yoyo Island no longer showed signs of collapse, Ella nodded.

"Now, we can investigate the cause, 'Short-distance Teleport'."

The vision suddenly darkened, and Ella came to the underground cave that was filled with Yoyos in the previous terrain search.

"Wow, so many Yuyu fragments."

Youyous that have turned into rags can be seen everywhere on the ground. At the same time, there are also some ghost Youyous that look similar to Youyous, with their bodies emitting light blue light.

Upon discovering Ella's figure, the ghost Youyous floating in the air immediately gathered around Ella. However, because they were ghosts, although the ghost Youyous wanted to jump onto Ella's shoulders, they could not touch the entity and passed through directly. After trying many times without success, they could only look at Ella with aggrieved and pitiful eyes.

Smiling at Youyou's behavior, Ella spread her hands.

"Even if you look at me like that, I can't help it. You'll be able to recover on your own in an hour or two."

Ella's words made Youyou and the others droop listlessly. Feeling a little reluctant, Ella coughed lightly twice.

"Ahem, let's get down to business first. Are you the ones supporting Yoyo Island?"

Since they don't have a neck, the ghost Yoyos can only shake up and down to express their affirmation.

"Huh? It's really you, right? No... considering the number of Yuyu here, maybe it's true."

If Ella wasn't floating in the air now, she would have been buried in the ocean formed by the Youyou fragments. According to the "Topography Search", the underground of the entire Youyou Island is full of such holes. Coupled with the conical structure of Youyou Island, the number of Youyou on the island may have exceeded one million or even tens of millions.

"Isn't what Eve said right... But since it's the girl's prayer that makes Yoyo Island float, then even if a single prayer can grant levitation to two Yoyos, with the number of people on the island, it's impossible to make so many Yoyos float..."

Not to mention letting the sound penetrate the ground and reach Youyou underground.

Ella frowned and put her hand to her lips in thought.

"No, the first question should be why so many Yoyos exploded."

"Youyou!"

Unexpectedly, the ghost Youyou chirped anxiously to Ella.

"Hmm? Is there anything you want to say?"

"Youyou!"

“No… Even if you look at me with an anxious, tearful expression, I still don’t understand what you mean.”

Honestly, it's even harder to understand than Eve.

“Youyou… Youyou!”

As if suddenly remembering something, Youyou, who had been surrounding Ella, tried to bite Ella's clothes with her mouth like a puppy trying to take its owner far away.

"Where do you want to take me?"

The Yoyos rocked up and down again in affirmation.

"Hmm... Then lead the way."

"Youyou!"

Very excited, the ghost Youyous lined up in front of Ella and guided Ella through the cave at a not very fast speed.

Perhaps due to long-term friction, there is no sharp spot in the hole with a diameter of at least ten meters. If you touch it with your hand, it feels very smooth. Ella has a hunch that the reason why the hole has become like this is definitely the result of many Youyous being squeezed together and formed over time.

"The cave is also very rich in magical energy. The reason I didn't see any crystals formed from that magical energy is probably because it was absorbed by the Yoyos. So, the magic circle I saw on the ground earlier was actually providing energy to the Yoyos. Could it be another creation of the previous Demon King?"

Ella's voice unconsciously rose in pitch. Although she had reached a point where she no longer felt surprised no matter what the Demon King took out, she still couldn't help but sigh when she actually saw it with her own eyes.

"Youyou."

"Hmm? Are we there yet? Hmm... Another stone tablet written in the Ancient language. But are there small words written in the Common language underneath each line of the Ancient language?"

Although the common language was written crookedly, somewhat like something written by a child who had just learned to write, it was not impossible for Ella to understand.

After a quick glance, she found that it was the same stone tablet written by the Demon King that she had seen before, and it was someone's diary. However, it was obvious that the two stone tablets were not written by the same person. Out of courtesy, Ella only read the records about Youyou.

"Kamiyo, it's so troublesome, I'd better not write it. December 14th

While that girl is certainly smart—perhaps even smarter than me—her aesthetic is truly terrible. How could she call something that ugly cute? Considering she might surprise me with something weird again in the future, it's best to correct her aesthetic taste sooner rather than later. Hmm... let's use this. Since there's only one sound, "Youyou," we'll call it "Youyou." There are no separate Youyous; all of them share a single consciousness. For cuteness' sake, they'll grow larger and float when they're happy. As for combat effectiveness, let's adopt a plan where they can combine to form a giant "Youyou" in battle.

"Eh, if Yoyo was created, then Yoyo Island was also created by the writer?"

While muttering to herself, Ella continued to look down.

"Ah, this level of magic power will definitely kill the monster fish in one blow. If it's too strong, it will undermine her confidence, but I can't bear to lose to her. Hmm... I'll set the conditions for letting her win... Got it! As long as she praises me in front of Youyou, the Youyous will explode on their own. That won't be too much."

"No, no, this is worse than just losing."

Ella couldn't help but smile bitterly. The person who engraved the stone tablet gave her the feeling that he didn't have much common sense.

"No, wait, 'Praise me in front of Yuyu and Yuyu will explode.' Combined with the prayer, could it be that this was actually written by the Loli God?"

For a moment, Ella couldn't help but have the urge to run away immediately. The stone tablet in front of her was definitely something like a diary. It was quite rude to read someone else's diary without permission. If it were the Loli God, she might do something unimaginable to herself out of shame.

Cold sweat appeared on her face, and Ella slightly pulled the corners of her mouth and forced a smile.

"I'm so sorry... I'm leaving now."

After clasping her hands together and apologizing to the stone tablet, Ella immediately activated the teleportation magic and left the cave without any hesitation. As for the affairs of Youyou Island, she would not need to worry about it as long as she waited until the Youyous recovered and were able to maintain the island again.

Looking at the place where Ella disappeared, the ghost Youyou looked a little sad, but soon its attention was attracted by the flashing words on the stone tablet.

——『What an idiot』

Chapter 75: Things Surface

*创世纪6187年9月14日 上午8:31分 灾厄之枝

It is now the harvest festival half a month after Ella and her group separated from Angeline. Because of the discovery underground, Ella learned the secret of Yoyo Island - the Yoyos are not divided into individuals, all Yoyos share the same consciousness, and it is the many Yoyos living underground that support the island. In addition, the Yoyos have the characteristic of floating in the air when they are happy, so she came to the conclusion that "prayer can make the island float", which can be regarded as an unexpected blessing.

As for the reason why the Yoyos exploded in an instant, Ella guessed that it might be because the Loli God set a setting when creating Yoyo that "if the previous demon king praises the Loli God, the Yoyo will explode", and her appearance happened to be very similar to that of the previous demon king, so it almost caused a disaster - fortunately, the residents of the island were only frightened and there were no casualties.

Baron Gamar was sitting in the basement of his mansion.

Unlike the bustling scene on the street outside, there is only an extremely depressing and silent atmosphere here. The house is filled with messy debris and rats are running around along the walls. If an outsider comes in, he will definitely frown at the turbid air, but what is certain is that except Baron Gamal himself, no one will set foot on this land.

Bang.

Gamal slammed the table hard, and the almost rotten wooden table groaned in pain.

"asshole."

Just now, the Holy King Council lost its last subordinate. Under the conspiracy of the Demon Lord Elelaya, everyone, including Grace, the human swordsman most trusted by Gamal, has fallen.

“When exactly…?”

Gamal couldn't understand why his subordinates turned against him. There was no doubt that the Holy King Council existed to prevent the Demon King from making wrong decisions. This reason itself was impeccable, and his subordinates supported him precisely because of this. Now that they had reached a consensus on their ideas, what methods did Elelaya use to make them betray their ideals?

Using family as a threat? Impossible. Including the human swordsman Grace, all members of the Holy King Council have no families. At most, they only have hired servants.

Was it the promise of money or status? Similarly, Gamar shook his head. He was certain that none of his former subordinates would be moved by money.

"No, after all, this might just be an accident. Elelaya hasn't actually discovered us yet."

If his group's existence were made public, they would undoubtedly be treated as traitors by the current demon clan. A parade through the streets followed by beheading would be inevitable. Furthermore, if Elelaya had already discovered their purpose, why would she resort to such a cumbersome measure? Lords and barons, regardless of their status, were lower-class nobles, unable to join the upper class. As a demon king, he could easily dispose of them without objection—perhaps even discuss how to make the parade even more grand.

"No, now isn't the time to think about the reasons. The most urgent thing is what to do next. The magic items given by the gods are ineffective... or is it that Grace simply didn't use them properly?"

Thinking of this, Gamal frowned again. In his dream, the god with the appearance of an old man gave him a pocket watch-shaped magic item, which could control the target's mind. At first, Gamal couldn't believe it, but when the god showed his true form, Gamal believed what the god said - a large amount of silver hair mixed with a small amount of red hair was quite consistent with the characteristics of the God-man race. The God-man race had always regarded themselves as the race closest to the gods, so it was natural for the only god to look like a God-man.

Although Gamall was very annoyed that he had to accept the help of gods as a demon, he had no other choice but to try it. You know, at the current rate of progress, even after another thousand years, it would be impossible for the Holy King Council to appear in the demon clan. By that time, dozens of generations of demon kings would have been born. Using props was a gamble.

"God's tools can't possibly go wrong. So Grace betrayed me—damn it, Elelaya."

The more he thought about it, the more intense the fire in Gamall's chest became. He was even certain that if Elelaya were standing right in front of him, he would definitely dare to grab Elelaya by the collar and give her a good beating.

"No, rather than teaching a lesson..."

How about threatening Elelaya's life directly? Just let her announce it to the territory, establish the Holy King Council, and set its own rules. Even if she were to be dealt with afterwards, the enlightened newcomers would surely lead the demons in a better direction.

Thinking of this, Gamar felt a sense of sacrifice in his heart - he wanted to use his own life to guide the demon clan.

"It's Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

"She's really beautiful..."

"Your Majesty is looking at me. He must have been looking at me just now, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You must be saying hello to me."

The sound of gongs and drums outside the house was mixed with the cheers of the residents, and even Gamal, who was in the underground room, could hear it clearly.

"Um?"

The devil is coming.

For Gamaal now, this is undoubtedly great news. Normally, the Demon King hardly leaves the royal city, so this is undoubtedly an opportunity given to him by God. The so-called Harvest Festival is the day when he points out the direction for the demon clan.
