Fedra is only 1500-ish years old, yet this guy’s age is basically uncountable. There are so many digits for his age that I cannot count them. This guy is older than the world considering it is only 17 quintillion years old.
I remembered the other guy who was turned into a sword, I remembered when that guy said “octillion”. Maybe time isn’t linear? No, time is definitely not linear here.
Her face morphed into disgust as if she was offended.
“Grandma? You have no right to say that to me”
She said with some venom in her voice. Is he not her grandkid? Phew, it’d be pretty awkward if my niece is older than my mom or dad.
“Now then-”
He raised his right hand and a “sword” materialized in it. I call it a “sword” because it doesn't look like a sword at all. Its appearance is that of a sword, but the silver blade is shattered into fragments, and those fragments are levitating in the air.
“Copycat”
She muttered under her breath, I wonder what she meant by that?
“What are you two doing here?”
He pointed his sword at her, why her? I was the one who brought us here.
“We are just visiting don’t worry. Can you give us a safe passage out of here?”
Why is she asking him? Is he more powerful than her? Can’t she teleport us out of here? Also-
I approached her, put my hand on her shoulder, and attempted to teleport, but there was something that did not allow me. I do not understand what this thing was, it was as if I never had the ability to teleport in the first place.
“No, it is my duty to slaughter those who enter this place.”
He immediately disappeared from my sight and reappeared in a position closer to us. He was frozen, but there was no ice, he was stuck in a dashing position holding his sword in an attempt to attack is.
“Forgive us madame for our lack of hospitality”
A soothing and somewhat cheerful voice rang through the air. So soothing that it felt eerie. I looked at the person-
I opened my eyes that was for some reason closed. But there was something wrong with my vision, why was it darkened? I was also now lying on the ground with Fedra standing beside me. I felt nauseated. I got up to my knees and immediately vomited. There is this headache, I remember this feeling. This was when I was studying geometry.
“Uuuugh”
I felt a hand rub on my back as if to ease my nausea.

“Is this his brother?”
That soothing voice spoke out and asked a question.
“Yes”
“I see, I’m terribly sorry!”
Why is that guy so polite? I slowly turned my body around to sit on my butt and looked up and saw him. Looking at him gives me such severe headaches as if my brain is turning into mush.
“Uuuugh”
His appearance was that of an extremely pale man. No, he was not just pale, his skin was white. His hair and eyes bear the same crimson color, and he wears a pure black tuxedo with black shoes and a black necktie.
“So, why did the two of you get here? On a vacation? If so, what a terrible decision”
“No, Jared here just randomly teleported us here, I don’t know how he did it yet”
“I see, but can’t you just teleport both of you using
“I can’t, if I use
What? What a crappy reason, also what the hell Jay? Now, about my vision-
I touched my face and felt something was in front of my eyes. Was I wearing shades?
“Ah don’t remove that unless you want your concept to explode”
Huh? Why would I explode? But still, that threat was threatening enough that I stopped my movements in trying to remove the shades.
“So, how are you going to get out of here?”
The guy asked us. Wait, he can’t get out of here? This is bad, are we stuck here until Jay rescues us?
“How many layers does pandemonium have again?”
“Eight…. Well, seven since the 8th layer does not matter that much.”
“I see, then can you teleport us to the 5th layer?”
Why only the 5th layer? Why not the final layer since that may be the place where we need to go to escape this place?
“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that. Ash really made this place impossible to be able to teleport inside of it”
“Then, can you escort us to the final layer? Some outer gods may attack us and it would be a nuisance”
“I’m free and bored… sure, just follow me”
What a kind fellow, he seems like a nice guy. I was about to stand up, but I fell to my knees, that headache was still there. I noticed the red-haired guy had his hand aimed at me, but he dropped it after a few seconds
“Huh…. Jay really made this troublesome”
“Agreed”
Fedra replied as she helped me get up to my feet.
We began walking to a certain place, I don’t know why. But as I noticed there were a lot of demonic-like creatures flying and roaming around the place.
“Mom, why can’t you teleport us both?”
“Because I can’t without
“Why not?”
“I’m sorry, but without
I see, so Jay is definitely stronger than her huh? Her attitude towards Jay and Jay’s attitude towards her says otherwise. Maybe Jay likes to be dominated? No, that guy doesn't seem to be a bottom.
“Just ignore them, you may find them creepy”
We then walked to a certain part where there were bodies everywhere. They seem like clones, but what creeps me out is that the appearance looks like Fedra, except the eyes were far more beautiful and scary to look at, and the hair was also dirty blonde.
Maybe this was Ash’s appearance? At first, I wanted to meet him, but this just convinced me not to. He is like a creepy individual.
“Welcome to the only part where you can manipulate space”
In an instant, there were cracks all around us, and we were seemingly teleported into a water world that was raining. There were a lot of black squares around us, I don’t know why.
A barrier that has the space of a sphere surrounded, and all three of us moved to the bottom at extremely high speeds. But then all I saw was darkness, well apart from the red-haired guy and Fedra.
All I saw was pure black apart from Fedra and that guy whose name I did not know. I do not know nor understand what is happening, but after some time passed, I do not know how long it took, but Fedra grabbed the back of my shirt, and ran into something.
“Huh?”
We were now falling straight to the ocean of some planet I do not know, all I know is that for some reason it was two-dimensional. And in an instant, we were back in the garden of the palace she owned.
I fell to the ground and embraced the grass beneath me.
That was one weird experience.
“Haaaaaaa!”
Fedra let out an exhausted sigh
“I'm eating some deserts, just go back to the place after you are done hugging the grass, and no teleporting!”
She teleported after she just said “No teleporting”, but it probably was for me.
