Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...
In fact, although there has been talk of things like "the seal of calamity" or "the seal set up by the gods," no one... even Yinra, who has been in close contact with calamity, has ever seen it with their own eyes.
But at this moment, he saw it.
...
A purple light pierced through the heavens and earth, penetrating from the earth towards the sky. Anyone who came to Hell could see it... And upon getting closer, Yinla saw a [country] standing in the very center of the pillar of light.
No, that's not right... that's not what I meant.
To be more precise, it was a colossal circle, as large as a royal city, composed of a dense array of huge gray quadrangular shapes that could be perceived as buildings.
Flying in the air, Yinla looked at the place that the three demon gods called the seal, and his gaze focused on those buildings... that is, those solid-colored tetrahedral protrusions.
Although it's easy to hallucinate that they resemble concrete houses or the steel forest of the Federation at that time, if you look closely, you can easily see that... those tetrahedrons are very smooth.
It's not as smooth as glaze, but rather more translucent... It's predictably smooth, the kind of smoothness that you'd slide off as soon as you stepped on it, just like the two demon sisters sliding around in the city below.
"Wuhu~"
"Roar~"
The two sisters share a similar name to the game Ira played in the previous world, called Dark God of War, which ended in its fifth installment due to the game company's bankruptcy, failing to benefit from the virtual reality game boom.
Baal and Diablo... lay on the smooth seal, in the gaps between those tetrahedrons, as wide as the street, slid around happily and made strange noises.
They are two genuine idiots.
"Please don't mind my two sisters, as you can see... they've lost their minds."
As Mephisto flew beside her, Yinra glanced at the tall, slender demon god... According to Raphael, the three of them helped stop Vereesa and the human mage who wanted to save him when Raphael came to kill her.
"I know, but I'm actually used to it, because there are many people like that around me..."
As Yin La spoke, he paused for a moment, racking his brains to find a suitable descriptive word... mainly to be euphemistic, he said: "A person who does things as he pleases without thinking much."
To put it nicely, he's a "fool"; to put it bluntly, he's...
What a fool!
...
"A seal... a superfluid solid."
As Imra said this, it caught Mephisto's attention. Clearly, the nonsensical words made Mephisto not understand what he was saying, but he couldn't simply skip over the topic without explaining.
"I mean... do you know why we can walk on the ground?"
As Yinla said this, he wanted to explain to Mephisto that humans are able to walk forward normally because of the friction between their bodies and the ground... However, he thought it might be very difficult.
Then, Mephisto gave a very simple answer—
"Because the prime plane is a sphere, there is a force that encompasses all nine planes and draws it toward the center, allowing people to stand on the ground... Many people may not know this, but Hell does."
"..."
Yinla opened his mouth. He didn't really want to talk about topics like "universal gravitation," but the people of Hell were surprisingly knowledgeable about science... At least, many people from the main plane couldn't give the correct answer to this kind of question.
Let alone commoners, many nobles were completely unaware of this...
"No, I mean... never mind."
Yinla abandoned his idea of explaining the concept of "friction" in detail. He simply said, "The 'super-solid fluid' I'm referring to is this kind of material that can slide from one end to the other. I think... it makes sense that the gods created this."
Yes, the material that forms the seal is the so-called "perfect physical model," a counterintuitive material that often appears in problems involving calculating air friction, which "does not consider the friction between the object and the ground."
It's no wonder they're called gods... The world where gods exist is this terrifying.
"significance?"
Mephisto repeated Illa's words, something she had never considered before. Looking at the massive gray seals, she said, "I'm not sure, but perhaps it is... Could such special materials have some special significance in the seals?"
Since the gods did this, they must have had their reasons.
"..."
The two, who were pondering the same question, remained silent for a while before Mephisto broke the silence, saying, "Perhaps we should put this question aside for now."
Indeed, we should first focus on the areas where the seal is broken.
Thinking this, Yinla nodded.
"The current situation is like this..."
As Mephisto spoke, she lifted Inraf higher, and the two looked at the entire seal from above. She said, "There are three nested sealing arrays... You should be able to see the lines, right?"
Yes, Yinla could see that the purple mana, possessing immense power, was constantly moving within the gray cube and the thick gray ground, forming countless dense lines... It was vaguely visible that the lines formed three enormous structures.
A large part of one of the massive structures emitted a huge and thick beam of purple mana light, which flew straight into the sky... The amount of mana it emitted was something Yinla had never seen before.
