However, for El, this kind of obstacle was nothing to worry about.
With his skills, he can use techniques that make it possible to walk on the surface of the liquid without drowning.
His feet stepped lightly, leaving small ripples in the black puddle below.
In addition, El also had Air Walk Shoes, a special-effects equipment that allowed him to walk on air.
Without the effort of dodging dangerous mud, he can walk calmly, as if treading an invisible path through the air.
To El, the Tar Shark monsters that inhabited this place were not a significant threat.
With a Selfless State that had reached a higher level, he was able to fully merge with the nature around him, making his presence difficult to detect by even the most sensitive creatures.
If a fight is inevitable, Tar Sharks are still not an opponent to be reckoned with.
Their strength, while dangerous to ordinary adventurers, was in no way comparable to El's abilities which were at a level far above them.
Because of this, El didn't feel the need to waste time facing them.
Calmly, El continued to move without the slightest change in rhythm, letting the monsters remain hidden in the black puddles that resembled a sea of darkness.
Over time, El began to lose interest in counting the number of floors he had explored, as well as the stairs he had climbed to the next floor.
His laziness grew stronger, making him focus only on the journey without caring about numbers.
Until finally, after a long time, he arrived at a floor that was different from before. There, a large door stood majestically, guarded by two statues of Cyclops monsters on either side.
While exploring the rooms on that floor, El realized that this place had a different aura, as if it held something important behind its doors.
"This must be where Yue is," El muttered as he glanced at the Cyclops statues. "This statue is definitely a Cyclops. But, a created monster... or sealed?"
All possibilities ran through El's mind, estimating many things. "Did the thing that called me come from here? But, I don't think so... Wait a minute..."
As if realizing something, El's brow furrowed. Focusing her mind, El immediately used soul power. "Here... It turns out there's that call... But it's very weak."
"It seems to have something to do with that call," El said, eyes staring intently ahead. "Or is it?"
"Does that mean I have to save Yue? Doesn't that mean I kidnapped Hajime's main heroine? Although... It doesn't really matter, because Hajime already has the loyal Kaori anyway," El murmured, sounding a little lighthearted.
"But... Whatever it is, to be honest... I'm so lazy to choose between the two," El said with a heavy sigh.
He rubbed his right palm over his face, trying to calm himself down. "It's not just because of the new woman anymore. But... I've had enough of the blood-sucking woman, Seitenshi, and my two daughters!"
"Tough choice..." said El in a casual tone, eyes glancing at the door before his.
El then turned around, stepping into another corner of the area. "What the hell. I'm too lazy to choose between the two. Better throw it to Hajime, he's the main character."
Upon arriving at the spot, El immediately sat down on the rocky floor surface, looking for a comfortable position to rest for a while.
El took the time to soak in the serene yet mysterious surroundings.
Later, El intended to contact her Avatars with the Conversation Group to receive information and experiences they had yet to share.
Kring!
[Human]: "Our wife, Seitenshi is pregnant. We're going to be fathers soon! By the way, I want the first child to be a girl, to look like her mother."
However, before he could send a single message, a message suddenly appeared, which stunned El.
Immediately, El reacted with a shocked tone, "Wh-what? Pregnant? Seriously? Really?"
In the next second, messages from the Avatars in the Conversation Group appeared.
Kring... Kring... Kring!
[Animal]: "Huh? We're fathers, ahahaha! This is very surprising information! I just blew up the pill I just made! I want my first child to be a boy, by the way."
[Hell]: "We're becoming fathers! I want the first child to be a girl! You have no right to disagree."
[Preta]: "Hell, what are you saying? The first child should be a boy, who will protect the family."
[Ashura]: "You think it should be a strong boy? I agree more with Hell's opinion, our first child is a girl. Whether she's strong or not, we can train her."
[Deva]: "But, I prefer Seitenshi's first pregnancy, our children are born as twins. Certainly not Yosoga no Sora twins!"
It should be natural, before leaving for this World, El was very diligent in having sex with Seitenshi for 1 week. Plus, Human did the same thing. In essence, it was natural!
And more importantly, it's not wrong to say that their child is a child either. Basically, El's six avatars were created from El's own flesh, blood, bones, soul and consciousness.
That means, the Avatars are fragments of El.
During the debate over the Avatars' differing opinions in the group conversation, El stood up and walked back and forth.
"I'm a father? I never thought my emotions would fluctuate like this," El muttered in a low tone.
Immediately, El sighed, won himself over and sat back down on the labyrinth floor calmly.
Furthermore, El also immediately calmed down the Avatars' arguments and after calming down, El asked for information and experiences that the other Avatars wanted to share.
While waiting for Hajime's arrival at that place, El decided to absorb the information and experiences shared by the five avatars of herself who were in another world.
If Hajime didn't arrive after that, El would without a doubt save Yue, and ignore the changes in the main plot. His mere existence in this world was enough to change the course of the story.
At least that was El's current thinking, sitting in the lotus position, closing her eyelids, lost in contemplation.
Some time later, in the dimly lit room, the figure of a man was clearly visible.
With striking white hair, piercing blood-red eyes, and no left hand, he stood with the aura of a wild animal loose in the city.
El immediately became aware of the man's presence through his strong sense of smell and soul power. Slowly, he opened his eyelids, revealing bright violet eyes that sparkled in the darkness of the room.
A faint smile spread across El's handsome face. "Oh? I thought you wouldn't come, Hajime. Ehehehe..."
As El had expected and in accordance with the original plot, Hajime finally arrived at the place and was immediately attracted to the large door that led to where Yue was sealed.
The moment he touched the door, suddenly the two Cyclops statues on either side of it moved, revealing their true figures as guardian monsters, not just door decorations.
With overwhelming strength, the two Cyclops began to attack Hajime with quick and powerful movements.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, El sat casually, as if watching a battle in a Live Action Anime, only this time the characters were actually alive and in the real world.
"And... As I know, they are no match for Hajime who has become stronger," El murmured in a low tone, eyes focused on the battle unfolding before his eyes.
El smiled slightly and chuckled in a low tone. "Hajime is no match for me either, or even those two Cyclops monsters."
A faint smile was etched on El's face, realizing that even this battle would be nothing more than an adult snatching candy from a child.
Right at that moment, a few moments later, Hajime seemed to be about to leave the room containing Yue.
With a nonchalant attitude, he revealed that he had entered the room by mistake and was planning to leave.
Despite Yue's pleading, there was no empathy on Hajime's face.
Hajime remained cold, although in the end, the two of them became romantic (perverted) lovers in the future.
