"……I'm here to report a problem."

  "What now!?"

  "There you go again. I haven't even said as to what degree the problem is and your emotions are already running wild."

  Eremiel was wearing some sort of one-piece robe that completely covered his body from the neck down; but even then, the tattoos that he seemed to have plastered all over his body glowed bright enough to be seen through it.

  The interiors of the room he was in also glowed red; with markings similar to the tattoos he had.

  "Because the last time we had a problem, the Seraphs were able to escape to this universe!"

  Eremiel then stomped his foot on the ground; but instead of the room trembling in response, the light glowing on his body and the light that surrounded the dark room was instantly extinguished; bringing back the calmness of its interiors.

  "Oh…" Irin then let out a small hum as her crimson eyes moved to the side, once again glowing as they strayed away from Eremiel, "Then you're really not going to like this one."

  "……What?"

  "The King of the Olympians said that one of their own was transported to another universe while fighting with one of the Seraphs." Irin reported, "It would seem they—— I mean he…… was the cause of those small gates which we are deprived of entering."

  "……I see. Interesting, but is that it?" Eremiel only let out a sigh in response, "Only a minor inconvenience and you're making a big deal out of it. It will only be a matter of time until the Gate that will allow us to enter that universe is complete, we will reunite the rogue god with its family soon…
……If that's all you have to report, then leave. I am still trying to figure out how the Creator was able to manifest entire planets without using any external materials."

  "Hm," Irin then nodded several times before turning to leave; once again filling the dark interior with light as the door of the room automatically opened like some kind of mouth. But before she completely stepped out, Irin glanced at Eremiel,

  "Also, it would seem that the reason the Olympian was able to cross universes is that he followed one of the Seraphs."

  "……What?"

  "A Seraph was also able to escape to another universe—— is what I meant. Both of them created the small gates."

  "What!?" And once again, the entire room was drowned in red; its brightness even overpowering the light outside the room, "Why didn't you start with that!?"

  "Because I wasn't near the door then," Irin said as she proceeded to quickly leave the room and run away.

  "You… don't you know what this would mean!?"

  And although Irin was already miles away into their seemingly extremely colossal ship, she could still hear Eremiel's roars echoing through the hallways. But alas, she had other more important things to do than to babysit a child—— one of them being to sleep.

  As for Eremiel, the room he was in started to pulsate; the lights dimming and brightening as if it was following his fettered breaths.

  "Which one… which one is alive?" Eremiel then whispered as he stretched his arms to the side, and as soon as he did so, several holograms appeared—— 7 winged individuals, their wings all unique to their own oozing temperament.

  Eremiel looked at the holograms one by one for almost an entire hour before waving the holograms away.

  "It doesn't matter who," he then whispered before fixing his slightly disheveled silver hair, "If they have been there for hundreds of thousands of years… then the inhabitants of that universe…
……are sure to be expecting us."

  ***

  "F… fuck. Can we go again?"

  "I… I am afraid not, King Evans. The Hyperspeed gear needs to be recharged after each use."

  The sound of Van's breaths was currently circling in the entire ship as he stared at the control panel in front of Captain Ameera. Van has been teleported multiple times before, but the ship's so-called Hyperspeed was a completely different feeling.

  With teleportation, the feeling was instant—— followed by this disgusting feeling that your insides have been left from the location you came from.

  With Hyperspeed, Van could actually somewhat see what was going on if he activated his [Time Perception] skill. It was a very weird feeling, and still extremely nauseous; but seeing the view from the window change at a rate that he could not follow, it felt as if Van had unlocked his System again for the first time.

  Was this what the others are feeling whenever he carries them while running? Suffice to say, it was exhilarating—— and to think that most of the ships from this world were capable of doing something like this.

  "K… King Evans, aren't you coming?"

  "……Right."

  Van almost completely forgot the reason why the ship moved in Hyperspeed in the first place—— they were here to visit the first one of the members of the Common Council. Van was about to follow Ameera out, but before he could do so, she suddenly went back inside the ship.

  "I forgot to brief you about the Eisis."

  "Eesis… The species native to this planet?" Van said as he tried to look through the door, but Ameera blocked his view.

  "Yes," Ameera nodded before taking in a gulp, "You might have seen some of them in the 243rd Base Station, they were the ones with the blue, somewhat greenish skin."

  "……Yes, I noticed them."

  How could he not, when most of them were giving him weird looks when he was being guided to the trap prepared for him by the station general.

  "Hm… and they have probably noticed you as well," Ameera then said, "You see their race is… how do I say this…
……quite welcoming. Especially towards the males of other species with a strong bloodline."

  "……What?"

  "What I am trying to say is that they would probably want to mate with you!" Ameera then blurted out as she once again stepped out of the ship, "So whatever you do, do not, in any circumstance, touch any of the female Eisis!"

  "What happens if I touch them?"

  "Pray that you won't have to find out, King Evans."

  "……Right," Van then wryly nodded as he followed Ameera out. And as soon as his eyes laid upon the scenery in front of him, he could not help but take in a small breath. He had seen structures of similar shape before when he visited Egypt with Charlotte, but to see the pyramids again in some sort of silver-like material was truly a sight to behold…
……especially since some of them are floating in the air.

  "Welcome to planet Osiris, King Evans," Ameera then saluted towards Van as he stepped down the ship, "I'm sorry no one is here to welcome you, we're trying to keep everything very… classified."

  "No, it's better this way," Van only waved his hand before his eyes once again strayed towards the scenery. He had seen floating islands before, even colossal beasts, but these people actually had an actual real explanation on how their massive infrastructures float; not like with his world where everything could just be explained by magic… or Evangeline.

  The two did not walk that long, however, as they rode another vehicle much smaller than the ships that go out in space. He was able to get another good look at the infrastructures of the world as the flying car hovered them above the streets.

  It truly was a mesmerizing and enchanting place. The only downside he could see was there were too many people. Perhaps that's why they built the flying cars and buildings in the first place since there were already too many of them on the ground.

  "……" Much like the stories he had heard about the World Eaters. Could they perhaps have started like this?

  With their vehicle weaving through the air, they were able to reach their destination in no time at all. It was a huge silver pyramid, perhaps the biggest one he had seen so far in the city. There were flying cars landing from below, but theirs went straight to the tip of the Pyramid, parking on the spacious mezzanine that seemed to have been emptied out for them.

  "We're here, King Evans," Ameera then said as she stepped out of the flying car first, "I'll make sure it's safe this time before you go inside."

  Ameera was gone for a few minutes, before returning to the car and gesturing to Van that it was okay to enter the building. This is perhaps the most 'King-ly' Van had been treated ever since he gained the title, he thought as he entered the huge door that seemed to be made out of some type of golden glass.

  And as soon as he stepped inside the pyramid, a blue-skinned individual quickly approached him.

  "Welcome to our city, King Evans," the female Eisis had a very alluring voice, matching her face which exuded a charm that could probably compare to Sarah; the strands of her hair seemingly moving on their own as her snake-like eyes stared Van straight in the eyes. Van initially thought that they just looked like blue humans, but now that he was seeing one up close, he realized how wrong he was.

  "My name is Vivati, Queen of the entire planet of Osiris."

  "My name is Van, King of… the 10th Realm," Van then replied courteously as he shook the hand that was offered to him by the Queen, "Thank you for meeting with——"

  "K… King Evans… Your hand!"

  And before Van could even finish exchanging his greetings, he heard Ameera's voice almost yelling at his ears. But as soon as he realized where Ameera's eyes were looking, the only thing he could do was…
"……Oh."
