When one crossed the Void Gate in Void City, they were led to the ERE zone which was underwater.
Hence, the reason why the Transcendent who had been put in charge of the ERE zone was a Mermaid.
A being from a race which could naturally exist underwater with zero complications.
Very much unlike the Dragons and other Humanoids who had to constantly expend energy to remain underwater for extended periods of time.
It was a Mermaid Race Lord who was sent here by her Liege, who had partnered with Ikerth to reap the Harvest of Ruindeum from Zotov.
Even so, for the sake of the terrestrial type races and their subordinates, most especially the Dragons, the Transcendents had used her powers over the law of water to create air pockets in the ERE zone.
This provided spaces which were habitable by the Transcendents.
