Chapter 881 – Episode 810 – The Suspicious Wasteland of Essentia!
“Yes? Are you talking about that ‘dry hole’? … It must be difficult to even get there…?”
When I tell the Neungsu and I about our next destination, Esty, the leader of the Yeti tribe, shows a worried expression.
Before going to conquer the Arachne tribe, the next target of conquest, a dry hole is a place to stop by and install the World Tree’s clone.
Esty looked a little nervous, like Prania when she was planning the route for the demon spirit, and began explaining to me and the other demons about the place called the Dry Hole.
“About half of the demon spirits are habitable, and the other half are capable of moving around… But that dry hole area is a place where even moving around is difficult… Are you really okay?”
Eser, another oxygen of Essentia, spit out by Qliphoth, the world tree.
Even though she was far away from her, it was her demon spirit that Esser lacked. However, it should not be to the point where you cannot live at all.
It is a place that is closer to the World Tree in terms of distance, or a place where Eser can accumulate due to the terrain, etc. Even if it is impossible for many people, there is a secret place where monsters and demons can live.
Even if it is a difficult area to live in, there is a very small amount of Eser, so although it is a little difficult, it is normal to pass by without any problems.
But the area around that dry hole is… A place where demons and monsters can’t even approach, and where Eser doesn’t exist at all.
I’m not sure why Eser can’t reach us on the same planet. It is said that not even the faintest amount of eser exists around that small, dry hole.
Like oxygen, life forms in this universe require energy called Eser or Tesser. That kind of energy doesn’t exist at all?
What this means is that the area around the dry hole is a land of death where even microorganisms cannot exist.
Inferior archaic species. And monsters that have less energy than old humans, but have strong bodies.
In addition to the remnants of Tescentia coming through the dungeon, even my females who have become beasts. The body cannot survive in an environment without energy.
The energy called Eser or Tesser is an essential element for life forms in this universe, to the extent that it is easier for the life forms of Tescentia, which rely on Tesser as nourishment, to adapt to Esser.
In order to survive in such an environment, you either have to become a being like me or Qliphoth who can connect to the source of energy and produce energy…
Or, like the Brandi family that became my sound field, it must have a unique constitution that is not affected by the surrounding ester concentration.
But Qliphoth cannot move. The Brandi family used the fruit of the World Tree to change their constitution, which had been unable to accept Essel… Really, before I came to Essentia, no one would have been able to approach the dried up hole. 〈 Br〉
In other words, me and Negative are going to explore a very exciting place on this planet that no one has ever been to.
“I see… In order to maintain the etheric balance within the planet, the World Tree’s clone was installed in a location completely opposite to where Qliphoth is located…”
“Okay. If the negative numbers that went nearby tell me the exact location, I plan to go there myself and plant the seeds of the World Tree. As a bonus, we also provide horse semen fertilizer to help with growth.”
“When the leader says that, I really feel that our salvation is not far away…♡ Ah, how will the demon spirit change…♡”
Well… Qliphoth and Fayen, who prepared the clone seeds, said that no matter how much horse semen they sprayed, it would take time for them to grow.
Still, once the World Tree’s alter ego sprouts, the dried-up hole will disappear and change will slowly begin.
How will things change? First, I think the environment around the World Tree’s clone will be similar to the Water Kingdom…
Then, the ecosystem of monsters living nearby will change drastically, right? Tsk tsk. I want to quickly install the World Tree’s clone and watch the surprise of the demons who have not joined the Demon King’s Church~
“Hehe♡ Then, I guess I should at least pray so that the cult leader and eumsu can finish the installation safely♡ … Ah♡ If I persuade the religious males well, they might try to sacrifice themselves?”
“Oh my ♥ Esti ♥ Isn’t it a perfect idea to pray while sacrificing males? Wouldn’t it be great if I could at least order someone to self-immolate?”
“That’s a perfect idea♥ It would be fun to watch the males burning before leaving~♥”
Since there’s nothing around, there shouldn’t be anything particularly dangerous. My extremely evil females who enjoy the human sacrifice of inferior males.
So, I and the others got ready to head to the dry hole, and spent some leisurely time in the Yeti city for a while.
************************************************** ************************************************** *******
And a few days later. After Ceres’ plan to develop the Yeti tribe was completed, the Negatives and I left the city and headed toward the dry hole.
In fact, just before leaving, I was delayed a bit because I had to watch the self-immolation show of male fanatics from the Yeti tribe, as well as males sent by the Imp tribe and the Honma tribe…
Anyway, the Imps and Yetis were conquered much faster than planned. Even if it takes 2–3 days, it doesn’t really matter.
Actually, even then, I still have about a month left over what I planned…
Hmm. Since it has already come to this, is it better to change the plan and proceed quickly to conquer the demons?
The only demons who have yet chosen the demons they will have are Ceres and Fayen… Since the cult keeps changing locations, it doesn’t seem like there’s much time to see the real madness…
In this case, I think it would be much more fun to just finish the conquest quickly and enjoy the demons that my negative beasts trained…
Um, after I finish installing the World Tree’s clone, shall I talk to the negative numbers? I guess I’ll have to look at the situation and revise my plan again.
“Whew… Yeah. If you look at the coordinates, it’s probably in there… It looks dark and looks like there…”
While I was thinking about something else, Fayen, who was fiddling with some magic tool on the floor, broke into a cold sweat and pointed over the horizon.
The place where I and the negative numbers are now is a desert area near a place called Dry Hole.
The dry hole is still visible darkly in the distance. But for some reason, I was already seeing signs of distress on the faces of my followers.
“Ugh… It’s hard… I don’t have any strength in my body…”
“Feeling this helpless… This is the first time I’ve felt this way since I became negative…”
“It feels like my body is trying to stop its activity… It feels like the cells in my body are trying not to move…”
“Ugh… This is a symptom that has nothing to do with physical abilities or energy… It’s just that the etheric circulation itself is trying to stop…”
“There is not enough ether available for the language module… Forced sleep mode in effect…”
Hmm… Not only Cecilia and Genesia, who are the strongest demons, but even Yewha, who has the most ether, have that kind of expression…
Even Raphina, who is half-living and half-golem? Huh. Does not have energy around have this much effect on my negative numbers?
Even when I entered the Beast Kingdom and when I just arrived at the Demon Territory. Everyone was just a little frustrated. It’s not like that at all now, they look like they’re about to collapse at any moment…
Hmm… I just feel like I’m in a place where time has stopped, where I can’t feel anything.
What should I say about this? How can I breathe… That empty feeling, as if there is nothing in the breath I take?
Although it doesn’t feel more difficult than the Water Kingdom, which was rich in Eser. But I really can’t feel anything, so it feels a bit lonely.
Well, anyway, I’m glad that the country can move. Now I know the direction. I need to quickly send the negative numbers some distance away.
“Good. Then everyone. Please retreat to a comfortable place. From now on, I will proceed with the assistance of Marian and Marcie.”
“Yea, I got it. Then, Demon King. Should I be careful?”
“Puhuhuh. Liz. It’s a place where there’s nothing, so what’s the danger? Don’t worry, I can have a cigarette break with everyone. “I’ll come back later.”
As I heard from the demons, that dark terrain that really looks like a hole.
There’s a bit of distance from that dry hole. But even around where we are right now, I can’t see anything other than sand.
Even if we assume that there are no monsters or demons. In this vast desert, there is no sign of anything or anything alive, let alone a cactus.
Even the sand feels somewhat empty, so perhaps even proper microorganisms do not exist in this desert.
This is really… The word ‘land of the dead’ fits so well, it’s so desolate that it’s scary…
Hmm, is it really possible for an alter ego of the World Tree to sprout in a place like this? I’m a little worried…
“Ruler. Marian. Marcie. This is the seed of the World Tree’s alter ego. And this is a magic tool that points to the coordinates I entered. It’s all sandy bottom, so make sure you don’t fall and spill anything.”
“”Yes, Fayen. I will be careful.””
“I processed it in the coordinate system, but looking at this feeling now, there is a high possibility that it will not move properly inside to some extent. So, you need to move with a good direction from the beginning. “If the coordinates are wrong, it’s a bit of a headache.”
Huh… I’m sure a magic tool like that would be powered by the user’s energy. Still, I’m not sure if it will move properly…
This is pretty annoying. I have to keep paying attention to make sure I don’t end up in a strange place.
“And this is a short-distance video communication magic tool… But I don’t think it will work properly either. First, we want to watch. One of the two continues to carry it.”
“Yes. Then, I will carry that magic tool.”
“Okay. Then… From now on, only you two can serve the Demon King. Make sure you assist the Demon King well.”
“”Yes! Fayen! I understand!””
He handed me a unique magical tool with something like a lens and liquid crystal that was seen when remodeling Raphina. Fayen pats Marian and Marcie’s buttocks as if asking for their favor.
As soon as Marian and Marcie finished preparing, my sisters, who were sweating coldly, started waving their hands at me with a tired smile.
“Have a nice trip, Demon King… We’ll be waiting a little further away…”
“If you think there is anything dangerous, please get out right away… We will find a way somehow…”
“Still, I feel a little relieved that two people who are like a sound field are going together… Please be careful, Demon King. “Her intuition is not very good…”
They certainly didn’t seem to have any concerns until they entered this desert.
For some reason, my negative numbers seem to be feeling uneasy right now, and I can’t feel at ease at all.
Although I am a little concerned about their reactions. Neither they nor I had any idea why they were reacting like that.
So I wave to the negative numbers. Brandy held the mother and daughter by her side and slowly began to move into the crumbly desert.
