The insect type magical beasts entrusted to Shion and Ranga are in their complete form, and it is true that they are natural enemies to the demon race.
Those are lifeforms from the Otherworld, that dwell in the boundary between material worlds and spiritual worlds.
They are semi spiritual lifeforms, and when they slip into a material world, they naturally achieve incarnation, making them troublesome invaders.
And before the awakened evil god, there was a gate.
A gate leading to the Otherworld, the “Celestial Star Palace.”
Beyond this, unknown worlds should be spreading. The many worlds created by Veldanava.
If they are crushed and devoured one by one, then surely, someday, he/she will be satisfied.
What they were able to understand was that Mai and the others were still drifting in the gap between dimensions.
Thanks to Yuuki putting up a mysterious “Barrier,” even in the Otherworld, “Magic Perception” was being activated.
They say that an inch ahead is darkness, but truly, outside the “barrier” was an unknown world.
From the far end of an unknown Otherworld in the gap between dimensions,
the wanderers dreamed of returning and performed a “leaping flight.”
The one who muttered this was Yuuki. By observing the flow of time in the Otherworld, Yuuki had also developed immunity to the “Stopped World.”
However, that was precisely because Yuuki was a genius.
Mai, who should have experienced it together, was, in this aspect, normally left behind.
At that time, the place they flew to after parting with Rimuru was an Otherworld that had Transcended/surpassed even time.
From the evacuation point that connects to the Otherworld, the abandoned thirtieth floor section was visible.
If left as it is, it should eventually be swallowed by an Otherworld and be blown away.
In subspace, phase fluctuations are constantly occurring.
These are not something that can be predicted, and if one is caught in them, it is impossible to predict which kind of other dimensional space one would be sent to.
Because it would be an Otherworld where even the flow of time is distorted, even if one possessed “Spatial Domination,” returning from the place one was sent to the exact same point as now was not realistic.
Velgrynd accomplished that, but that was an exception where coincidence and miracle overlapped.
There is also a method of jumping toward the wavelength of the target person, but if they are in a other dimension, they could not be reached.
Also, even if the target location’s time axis, positional coordinates, and other information were known, if there were a dimensional wall separating them, Mai’s power could not cross it.
This was the reason why Mai gave up returning to her original world.
If it is an adjacent dimension, there are cases where the wall can be crossed.
However, depending on the dimension, the height of the wall varies, so there were cases where it was impossible no matter what.
In that case, there is no choice but to search for something like the “Underworld Gate” and steadily repeat dimensional exploration.
The Otherworld had order.
A semi material world that exists as if overlapping with spiritual worlds such as the Spirit World and the Demon World.
Worlds that never intersect.
There, broadly divided, three forces were competing for supremacy.
The Phantom race, which plots the invasion of other worlds.
The Insecter race, which aims to expand its place of peaceful settlement.
And the Cryptid race, which spends its time in battle and destruction.
There were also forces that came visiting from other dimensions, but they were destroyed, along with their original dimensions, by one of these three forces.
To that extent, these three forces boasted unparalleled martial might.
Without malice, it pursues only its own curiosity its pleasure.
That is an act incompatible with harmony.
Though being an “individual,” it is “almost” complete, and is unaffected no matter what happens to anything other than itself.
That was precisely the terror of the “World Destroying Dragon” Ivaraje.
“Not just this planet, but even the world itself, perhaps it has no need for it…”
