Chapter 3: Prince—translated by lucathia (proofread by elisa)

“Huh? Milord, do you know this…”

Partway through his question, Rainfall was unsure how to continue. Calling him a “gentleman” was too formal, since this demon was just a child, but if he didn’t address him respectfully, he might offend him—offending someone who knew demon royalty wasn’t something any demon wished to do.

The prince and Shooting Star stared at each other. A bead of sweat dripped down both of their foreheads. Neither knew how to respond.

“Demon?”

Alan also walked out, not at all hiding the disgust on his face.

Rainfall couldn’t help his confusion. Even though there were plenty of people who hated demons, wasn’t it a bit strange for him to hate demons so much when he had one among his companions?

Bai Saya glanced at the two demons who were staring wide-eyed at each other. He asked in curiosity, “Shooting Star, do you know him? Oh right, his demonic emblem and yours are…” So similar.

Before he spoke the final two words, a nearly identical scowl came over both Shooting Star and the prince. Then, as if coordinated in advance, they pounced on Bai Saya. Shooting Star was responsible for grabbing Bai Saya’s head and covering his mouth simultaneously, while the prince was responsible for lifting his feet. Three people on four legs rushed into the room next door. Afterwards, the door slammed shut with a “bang,” leaving the two groups to stare at each other.

“What is Shooting Star up to?” Saiximili was carrying all of his mushroom crackers. He poked his head out of the room to ask with mild interest but was too lazy to leave the room.

“Don’t know, don’t care. I’m going to feed Yaya.” Alan answered coldly and glanced at the two demon guards haughtily before he returned to the room. Unfortunately, the room no longer had a door, or else he would have definitely slammed it shut to emphasize just how much he despised demons.

“Should we protect milord?” the demon guards asked Rainfall, not knowing what to do.

They repeated the question several times before Rainfall finally recovered from the prince’s odd behavior. “What? Oh, oh! Keep your distance from the door but continue to guard Milord.”

After seeing the guards nod, Rainfall still wasn’t reassured and said, “Remember to keep your distance. Since Milord ducked into the room, then he definitely does not want any living being to hear his conversation.”

The guards nodded seriously. As bodyguards of the royal family, they clearly understood that some conversations weren’t meant to be heard.

Chapter 2: Set Sail, Doom!—translated by lucathia (proofread by Minthe)

Although Shooting Star wanted to flee as soon as possible to prevent Ice Chess from returning on a whim to make sure they were thoroughly dead, which really would result in them becoming deader than a doornail, Alan wasn’t as recovered as they had hoped for.

The elf had probably truly been too exhausted. First, he had been captured as a prisoner with only fruits and vegetables to eat. Then, after getting rescued, he had to run about tiredly the entire time. Now, he had collapsed right into a serious bout of illness. He had clearly seemed much better yesterday, but his fever had returned in the morning.

Bai Saya could only entrust Yaya to Shooting Star and Saiximili, while he stayed in the room to take care of Alan. He was afraid that the moment he stepped out, the elf would once again burn with fever and lose consciousness without anyone knowing about it.

Shooting Star gave it some thought and poked Saiximili beside him. “Just how strong are sinners? Can they beat a thousand year old mage?”

Chapter 1: Currently Sick, Part Two—translated by lucathia (proofread by Minthe)

“Philo is too kind. He might not be able to harm Doom, if Doom is that boy.”

A somewhat cold voice came from a dark corner.

A figure stood there, the upper body completely concealed in shadow. After saying those words, he stepped out from the shadows, slowly making his way beside the window. The sunlight streaming in through the window discomforted him a bit. He lifted his right hand to his eyes, while his left hand held a thick, exquisite book. The hard, stiff, black book seemed to reflect the owner’s character perfectly.

The owner of the book had a unique appearance. At a glance, his silver hair and somewhat dark skin might make one think him to be a cousin of the elves, an evil dark elf who lived belowground but had trespassed aboveground. However, no matter if it was his stature or his round ears, both indicated that he was indeed a human and not a dark elf.

Even though his mother had cried out with “demon” upon seeing his red eyes at birth and thrown him to the ground, never willing to look at him again, that was not important.

Since the moment he was born, he had already understood his identity—he was a starseer who would foresee the future.

A starseer had a mission more important than anything else—finding his guide, and then accompanying him until the end, even if that “end” was the end of the world.

“Xixiuliye, you’re rushing things again.”

GOD —The Beginning of the End— Volume 4: The First Duel

Original novel in Chinese by: 御 我 (Yu Wo)


Chapter 1: Currently Sick, Part One—translated by lucathia (proofread by Trespasserby)

“What bountiful spoils of war! I never thought that my guide would be so amazing. Not only did he escape from the curse, he even captured one of ‘Stench’s’ sinners.”

Saiximili looked emotionally at Philo, who was lying on the ground with the Stone of Lethargy around his neck.

The king had thought he would soon be out of a job—being the king was just a side gig, while being a starseer was his main profession—but who knew that not only had he not lost his job, he had even gotten a raise! Why wouldn’t he be feeling emotional?

“Bountiful, my ass!” Shooting Star growled ferociously, “I was this close, really, this close, to becoming so red in the face that even the Heavens would get jealous of my beauty and that I would die as a handsome, young lad! You useless starseer, you’re still celebrating over there like an idiot!”

Alan glanced at him. Although he was an elf, even he knew that beauty and handsomeness weren’t usually applied to the same person.

“Of course I’m happy!” Saiximili had on an expression that implied, “You don’t know this, but…” as he explained, “Think about it. There are only a total of seven sinners, and you already have two of them on your side. If the Guide of Existence wishes to kill you, they would at least have to send three sinners over in order to have a chance at succeeding. So, if you kill one of Stench’s sinners, it would nearly be impossible for them to send another three sinners after you!”

Shooting Star had on an expression of realization. This made a lot of sense. Although he felt that if Alan was given some time, he could probably evolve into being able to fight one against two, for safety purposes, it was still better to fight two against one!

“W-Wait a moment, who are you planning to kill?”

To the side, Bai Saya, who had once “again” overused the stone’s power, had collapsed to the floor after returning to White Feather Nation. Even the two people he had carried back had been tossed to the floor. But the moment he heard “kill,” he promptly lifted his head, interrupting Saiximili and Shooting Star’s dangerous conversation with a panicked expression.

GOD —The Beginning of the End— Volume 3: The End Begins

Original novel in Chinese by: 御 我 (Yu Wo)


Afterword—translated by lucathia (proofread by elisa)

The largest change in this volume was Saiximili’s personality, conduct, and some of his small quirks.

In the old edition, Saiximili’s personality was much more bumbling, and he didn’t show much responsibility toward his nation, though this could be because I depicted too little of the avian nation. The importance of his own nation to Saiximili was not shown properly. Anyway, when I examined this later on, I felt that this kind of Saiximili did not match the Saiximili I had in mind.

Perhaps he really doesn’t like being a king much, and isn’t very good at it either, but he is still the king, and he does his best to be a good king. Therefore, I highlighted his responsibility toward his position as king more. Finally, the king, Saiximili, is properly depicted.

Other changes include strengthening the guard captain Barna and Markham’s presence, paving the way for future plot related details regarding the avian nation.
