My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 657: Three days of life and death

The real Eren was still inside the Merchant Union's Ship. However, he wasn't as ignorant as before about the events taking place in the lower world.

Now that he was able to talk to Spirit Queen Yelen, he had been receiving constant updates about the events of the lower world. At times, he received information even faster than his clone did from his followers.

Eren couldn't even focus on his own problem about being stuck at the Merchant Union's Ship which was on route to the abhorrent King's Clan.

His mind kept shifting back to the events of the lower world, especially since he heard that almost the entirety of the Holy Empire had fallen, leaving only the Holy City now.

In the past, the Holy City used to be invulnerable as it was protected within the core domain of the goddess. He had killed that goddess. With her death, the protection was also gone.

It was also that barrier which had kept the real main character of the Western Continent from doing anything to the false Priestess. If anything, the entirety of the western continent's story revolved around breaking that barrier.

In the process, she had gathered many allies, the most important of them being the Holy Emperor's brother. It was only in the last volume after going through many life and death events, they had managed to break the barrier.

In the last volume, after the barrier was broken, the real Holy Priestess entered the Holy City and killed the false Priestess. She took her rightful place, bringing the story to an end.

Eren's actions had changed the entire flow of the story. It was as if the barrier was broken in the first volume itself. He had also killed the main villain of the Western Continent and annexed the Holy Church.

He thought it was going to end the story right there, since the real Priestess had lost the villain and her subordinates that could come after her. After all, at the end of the novel when she won, she had herself erased all traces of the Holy Religion

He had done everything that she would have done. He thought it would ensure that the story ended right there. Unfortunately, things went in the completely opposite direction.

Somehow, she still wanted her revenge, even though everyone who wronged her had been killed.

He had become the target of her revenge for some reason, as if the will of the world itself had removed the existence of the villain with his existence after his intervention.

Even though the story didn't progress as it would have normally, it didn't make things easier for him. Things had instead gotten worse, as the main character of another Continent had gotten involved.

Once again, his actions had changed the story of the Northern Continent as well. Normally, the Northern Main Character would have gone after the Necromancer Tower. But since he destroyed the Necromancer Tower, the arc of their enmity hadn't even progressed.

The Northern Main Character, freely entered the Western Continent, as the flow of things had changed. Eren had caused a butterfly effect, and he could only blame himself for it.

Now, the two main characters had joined forces, creating a union that was even worse for someone like him.

"Is there no way to save the Holy Empire? I really thought it could become an important weapon in my hand," he mumbled, thinking if there was anything he could do, without descending personally. He still hadn't found a way to descend on his main soul form yet after all.

He could take the help of the Spirits. The entire spirit realm belonged to him after all. The Ancestor of the Spirits, and even their queen, were his guardians.

He could indeed make the spirits enter the war for him. But could they really face the might of two main characters, especially one that could become stronger with each death?

The Northern Main Character wasn't even the worst enemy for the spirits. The worst enemy was the real Holy Priestess, whose holy spells could truly hurt the spirits.

If he sent the spirits to fight for him, it was no different than revealing an important card. If they lost, then he was going to be in a bigger mess.

"Fine. There's only one city left anyway. There's no point in trying to save it. Can you contact my dear clone and tell him to abandon the city?" he told Yelen.

Despite being out of hell, he still hadn't been able to contact his clone. He could only contact Yelen because she was a guardian spirit that mainly resided in his contract mark.

Yelen agreed. Throughout this time, she hadn't really intervened in the lower world. She didn't even show herself before the clone often, except for the one time where she took actions on her own to bring Eren's disciples to the Spirit Realm to protect them from the upcoming war.

She hadn't even told the clone that she had managed to establish a contact with Eren, not wanting to do any things without his permission.

"Wait!" Yelen was about to appear before Eren's clone when the real Eren suddenly called out to her.

Eren's eyes were looking at empty space, as if he could see something that even a spirit like Yelen couldn't. It wasn't even the first time that she had seen Eren looking blankly at empty air.

"Tell him that we must win this war! Tell him to hold on for as long as he possibly can!" Eren hastily said, tapping something in the empty air.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm certain. Also tell him that if he can survive for at least three days, I will personally reward him with something that he always wanted! And if he dared to run away from this war, I will eradicate him in the most painful way possible, even if he is part of my own soul!"

Yelen didn't understand why Eren had suddenly changed his mind. Just what exactly happened in the last few seconds? She had a lot of questions, but she did as he asked and left.
