There are a lot of people coming from Hell... Yes, this is not a joke, not some hellish joke like "Wow, Hell is overcrowded lately!", but a real bunch of people have come.

This is the first time that so many outsiders have gathered in hell.

Ernie playing with fire (similar to playing with water), an astral body observing Hell alone, Leonard standing quietly next to Ira, the nonchalant Vereesa Ilúvatar, and the human woman...

Well, these last two are probably just here to have fun; they're unlikely to be of any real help.

Of course, there's also Ira, who, although not certified as an outsider, possesses outsider-level combat power, even surpassing it... Moreover, what exceeded the expectations of the three demon sisters was not his combat power.

It's not Iraq's ability to call in reinforcements.

"..."

They actually managed to gather so many people to fight the calamity?

Thinking this, Mephisto couldn't help but smile. Then, looking at the blue-purple mana pillar that had stopped erupting, her smile gradually faded—because it was clearly not a sign that the seal was about to be repaired.

Instead, it was the divine Mana, whose beauty was stolen by the calamity sealed within... Yes, the Mana belonging to the life form named Nephthys was drawn back, and then the place where the seal was located returned to peace.

How can I describe it...?

At such a time, any abnormality is deadly, especially this situation, which, no matter how you look at it, seems like a calamity about to break free from its seal... This made Mephisto hesitate.

But what if the calamity were resolved just like that...?

So, the mission of hell will finally come to an end after such a long time... I'm finally free, and I can occasionally take a break and go play in places like the prime plane.

Of course, from that moment on... she and her sister would also help resolve other calamities.

Just like the people gathered here now.

...

Now that everyone is helping Hell, when other planes face crises, neither Mephisto, Baal, nor Diablo will stand idly by.

This is a benevolent cycle.

However, there's no need to use such lofty terms like "virtuous cycle" to describe it, because this is actually not such an unusual thing... In the prime plane, or rather, in the mortal world, this kind of thing happens frequently.

When I'm busy with farm work in your fields, I help you harvest wheat; when my child goes to the capital to take the Three Towers exam, you provide some food... This is commonplace.

However, such things are relatively rare outside of established norms.

This is the mortal view of good and evil, but such a view is far better and more noble than any other view... The comparison of the superiority or inferiority of views is subjective, so one can only say that Mephisto thinks this is better.

"Click~"

"..."

"They're here." X4

Ira, Mephisto, Vereesa, and Raphael said this almost simultaneously... because they spoke in such unison that their voices overlapped, almost becoming a single reminder.

Before anyone else could fully react, the slight cracking sound transformed into... a tremendous roar.

Boom!!!

It wasn't an explosion, but a huge burst of flames that ignited instantly... Everyone saw a black silhouette, barely visible due to the light, within the massive, nearly thousand-foot-high blue-purple pillar of fire.

That was a person.

"That is..."

Ira's voice was almost drowned out by the roar of the flames, so he had to raise his voice and say, "No... which is it? Is it the flames themselves, or that being?"

Because of the urgency of the situation, his voice was muffled, but everyone understood what he meant... He was asking whether the calamity was the raging flames that were now burning, or the girl who had burst forth with the flames.

However, no one can be sure about this... Although there are speculations, their authenticity cannot be guaranteed.

However, there's no need to guess what will happen next...

"Buzz..."

After just a moment of buzzing, all the flames were drawn back and converged towards the girl... encompassing a far more terrifying amount of mana than that that Ira had unleashed into the girl's small body.

How should I put it... it's hard to imagine that a body could contain that much mana.

Without a doubt, the flames are merely the girl's power, not the calamity itself. The only thing called "calamity" is this wheat-skinned girl covered in gold ornaments.

"The power that originates from Nephthys... Is it [Calamity] or something else?"

Ira muttered to himself, constantly pondering the other party's identity, while the [Calamity] flying towards them alerted everyone... If she showed any intention of attacking, they would all strike simultaneously.

"The kids... well, what about that Nephthys guy?!"

The girl questioned him, her voice sounding very angry, inquiring about the whereabouts of the goddess Nephthys... However, she referred to everyone as "children," so her identity was obvious.

"A deity... who are you?"

Ira did not answer the girl's question, but instead inquired about her identity... The crowd of outsiders also waited for Ira and the girl to communicate, or rather, they waited for Ira to break up with the calamity in front of her.
