Chapter 260: Weird World; Weird Inhabitants
'It's not like I am complaining though…'
However, as he uttered these words, Lorien found himself drawn to the majestic and slightly eery sight that stood toweringly before him.
There, a short distance away from him loomed a vast and peculiarly partitioned world that kept constantly radiating a darkish hue.
If one were to draw a comparison between this world and the one Lorien had just departed from, in terms of sheer size, this one held a distinct advantage.
'Based on my past experiences, the size of a world often correlates with its strength, so, with this in mind, this world is most likely more powerful than the JJK world, however, it seems that it's not by much.'
'It's just that the strength of a world doesn't always equate to the strength of its inhabitants, so, in this case, they might be way stronger or way weaker depending on the environment.'
Contemplating this notion, Lorien couldn't help but cast a profound gaze upon the world before ultimately shaking his head.
"Well, this world doesn't seem to be a safe one, so let's how things go…"
Saying this, Lorien couldn't help but look a bit longer at the world as its composition and barrier were unlike anything he had ever seen which succeeded in grabbing his attention.
Viewed from his position, this new world resembled a colossal sphere that was split down the middle with each hemisphere embodying a starkly contrasting aspect of this world.
From Lorien's point of view, they appeared like the opposing forces of light and darkness, akin to the eternal twirling of Yin and Yang.
However, interestingly enough, despite the apparent equilibrium of this configuration, the world's barrier and the atmosphere that it was giving off said otherwise.
To Lorien's keen perception, this realm emanated an overwhelming sense of despair, darkness, and fear; basically, there was nothing inviting about it.
'Interesting…'
'Is the dark hue that I am seeing and the unsettling atmosphere caused by some unbalance in the equilibrium?'
'It seems that I won't get bored in this world…'
With his curiosity piqued, Lorien didn't hesitate any longer as drove the golden barrier surrounding him forward, morphing into a golden beam of light that easily pierced through the world's crystal barrier.
"I just hope that beyond mere entertainment, this world offers something of genuine value." Lorien mused, his last phrase disappearing into the depths of nothingness.

Meanwhile, just as Lorien officially entered the new world, an interesting event was actually unfolding within it
At this moment, outside and hotel in Japan called 'Hotel Morin', a heterogenous group of 6 individuals were currently standing there arguing.
Of the six people, Four of them were clad in dark suits, looking to be a part of the same group while the other two appeared to be reluctant outsiders, seemingly dragged along with them.
Of the two, the teenage boy had scruffy blond hair, yellow-brown eyes, and weirdly sharp and angular teeth.
On the other hand, the girl had strawberry blonde long hair, red and yellow eyes that formed a cross pattern, and also weirdly sharp teeth with defined fangs.
However, what made this girl truly distinctive wasn't just her good luck, instead, it was the light red horns protruding from the top of her head.
With a mere glance, it was evident to anyone that this girl was anything but human.
However, as peculiar as their composition may seem, it didn't whether the group of six was actually unified or not.
After all, what truly captured attention was the unsettling and chaotic manner in which they conducted themselves.
"Hayakawa, sir!" Suddenly spoke the oldest-looking male in the group named Arai.
"Can we really put our faith in these two as comrades in a battle against devils? One is a fiend and the other is a punk, I can't trust them!" He continued.
"You can't trust them to watch your back; In combat, we make them go in first; If they run or switch sides, we kill them!" Responded the young man named Aki who appeared to be the leader of the group.
"You're treating us like animals!" Suddenly said the blonde-haired fiend named Power.
"You two have no human rights." Coldly responded Aki.
However, instead of arguing with him or getting angry over their dignity getting trampled on, the two turned away and started whispering.
"He's pretty angry; Must be because of this morning."
"Maybe that prank went a little too far…"
It's just that the moment Aki heard what they were whispering about, he immediately exploded in anger, shouting at them.
"That was no prank!! Do you want to die?!"
Seeing this, the black-haired girl with an eye patch called Himeno couldn't resist interjecting with keen interest.
"Yikes, what happened?"
However, after saying this, she immediately changed the subject trying to calm down the atmosphere.
"Aki, don't be that strict with them all the time, the poor things."
"That's right! I almost got killed by the bat and you made work right after! Give me a reward!" Denji immediately added, quickly agreeing with her words.
However, upon hearing this, Himeno's eyes began swirling as if thinking of something before responding cheerfully.
"Oh! Okay! I'll do something for you! Whoever kills this devil…guess what? Gets a kiss on the cheek from me!"
Upon hearing this, Aki remained calm, completely unfazed by the reward; This was in clear contrast to the two other boys in the group, who quickly started panicking.
"No! You can't do such things! An unmarried maiden doing something s-so obscene" Shouted Arai.
"What? But having a reward is very motivating, Right?" She responded.
It's just that contrary to her expectations, Denji who was the most horny member of the group also refused.
"I don't need a kiss either, It's fine, I'm motivated!"
Saying this, Denji's eyes blurred slightly as if remembering some past events.
"I've already decided who my first kiss will be! And for her, I'll gather flesh pieces or whatever else I need to do. I'm not kissing anyone until I kill the gun devil!" He continued.
It's just that after such a passionate speech, Denji's resolute attitude was swiftly shattered by Himeno who leaned close to his ear and launched a powerful counter attack.
"Oh? Then Denji, if you kill this devil, I'll give you a kiss with tongue."
"…"
"…"
"…"
