While Maworm was playing catch with the True Evils, I passed one of my remaining Devil Tokens to Scar, planning to use her status as a native of the Realm of True Evil to bypass the Mulias Royal Family’s contract with the Demon Merchant Code, which had the Demon Merchant Code make merchants leaving the Realm of True Evil through its inter-realm transportation function make a quick stop at their Toll Gate before returning to their destination.

Even though the Mulias Royal Family owned the Demon Merchant Code’s inter-realm transportation rights to the Realm of True Evil, it didn’t strip the natives of their birthright.

A Native Devil Merchant could use the Demon Merchant Code’s inter-realm transportation to enter and leave their realm even if the Demon Merchant Code had sold the rights to another Devil Merchant.

Like how I was able to use the Demon Merchant Code’s inter-realm transportation to enter and leave the Card World even though the rights were bought by the Dark Faction, the ‘Seven Princes of Hell.’

The plan was to turn Scar into a Devil Merchant, have her use the Demon Merchant Code’s inter-realm transportation to teleport us out of the Realm of True Evil. With the World Calamity Tree and the Elder Truevils on our backs, I didn’t dare to spend another second in the damned realm.

Yes, I had come up with a simple class division for the Truevils, as even though each one of them would be among the strongest in any corner of the known Myriad Realms, there were many strong among the strongest. And it went as follows.

i) Grounded Truevils: They were the regular Truevils, like the ones Scar used as cannon fodder when fighting me. They only relied on their racial traits and bloodline.ii) Ascended Truevils: They were Truevils like Scar that didn’t solely rely on physical prowess like racial traits and bloodline but were also awakened to use their soul energy, rule power, etc.

iii) Super Ascended Truevils: They were Truevils like those that played the game of catch with Maworm. They had accumulated and achieved the known ceiling of Ruler-class across the Myriad Realms.

I noticed that among the swarm of Calamity Daughter Seed Truevils, there wasn’t a single Ascended Truevil or Super Ascended Truevil. The entire swarm consisted of Grounded Truevils. I wondered why, but considering that I almost failed turning Scar into my Daughter’s Gem, I believed these True Evils were a lot smarter than the Dark Races gave them credit for.

Still, a swarm of Grounded Truevils was a threat even a Super Ascended Truevil couldn’t ignore unless they had a means to deal with crowds like Scar did. Considering that I had no idea what plans the World Calamity Tree had for me and that the Super Ascended Truevils were reaching the conclusion of their game of catch, I didn’t have time and used my last resort plan, even if it meant I would be wasting a Devil Merchant Token on a Truevil and creating trouble for my future self.

The problem was that the Mulias Royal Family staff that were monitoring the Realm of True Evil would know that a Devil Merchant native to the Realm of True Evil had used the Demon Merchant Code’s inter-realm transportation function to leave the realm.

Knowing how much they feared the potential of the Truevils, I knew that as soon as they learned that a native of the Realm of True Evil had not only become a Devil Merchant but also left the Realm of True Evil, they would investigate the matter and eventually reach me, the one who entered the Realm of True Evil but managed to leave without arriving at their Toll Gate. I had no idea how they would react, but I had to get out of there before either the World Calamity Tree got to me or the Super Ascended Truevils got to me.

I had thought long about this. There was no other way. Otherwise, I would have chosen an escape route where I not only lost a Devil Merchant Token but also gained the attention of the infamous Mulias Royal Family the wrong way.

I could have used Henricks for the same reason why I didn’t find a solid ground fit for setting up Dalia’s inter-realm array formation. That was because the Mulias Royal Family had sealed the outermost space of the Realm of True Evil to ensure that no one could use inter-realm teleportation arrays to leave the Realm of True Evil after they had gotten its coordinates by entering the realm through the Demon Merchant Code.

Because the realm’s outer space was sealed, even Henricks’s Origin Card would not be able to come pick me up even if I gave him my coordinates in the Realm of True Evil.

Yes, so unless I could return to my human form or any form other than the World Calamity Tree form, I had no choice but to use Scar to sneak out of the Realm of True Evil, hiding in one of Maworm’s stomachs.

This was only possible because Maworm could disguise itself as an accessory. It was a disguise and not actually a transformation. It basically coiled around Scar’s thigh and entered hibernation, appearing like a thigh-band-like accessory made using a fossil. Also, its stomachs were all each a separate dimension. So, she was basically disguised herself as a dimensional storage accessory. As such, the Demon Merchant Code let her pass with Scar.

I knew the Demon Merchant Code would allow it because that was how I had sneaked Maworm into the Realm of True Evil.

Even if it didn’t work, I would have asked Maworm to drill into Scar’s body, acting like a parasite hiding in her body.

It would teleport both the client and the parasite in their body to their destination. Because the Demon Merchant Code didn’t have a habit of going an extra mile for its clients.

The parasite would be left behind if, I’m guessing, they had some kind of prior arrangement with the Demon Merchant Code.
