As I stepped out of the mausoleum, I was greeted by a sight that left me utterly bewildered. The Great Tomb of Nazarick stretched out before me, its imposing walls and neat grass creating a bizarre contrast against the scattered tombstones and eerie statues.
The grass beneath my feet felt surprisingly soft, like walking on a plush carpet, but the presence of tombstones gave the scene an unsettling vibe, as if I had stumbled into a graveyard-themed amusement park.
I couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all. "Well, this is certainly... unique," I muttered to myself, trying to make sense of the chaotic scenery.
The statues of armored warriors guarding the smaller mausoleums only added to the surreal atmosphere. It was like being trapped in a medieval fantasy crossed with a horror movie set—definitely not your average day out.
But amidst the oddity, there was a strange beauty to the scene. The carvings of angels and goddesses, though out of place in this strange cemetery, were undeniably exquisite, their intricate details a testament to the skill of their creators.
As I stood at the top of the stairs, taking in the bizarre landscape before me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement mingled with trepidation. The Great Tomb of Nazarick, now floating in a void among the stars, was a far cry from its original icy home in Helheim.
The grass beneath my feet felt strangely comforting.
"Beautiful," I whispered, the word escaping my lips almost involuntarily. It was the only word that seemed to do justice to the breathtaking sight before me.
As if in response to my whispered admiration, Death's voice echoed in my mind, a faint whisper that seemed to reverberate through the emptiness around me. Despite her absence, I could feel her presence as if she stood beside me, a silent observer to the wonders she had bestowed upon me.
"Do you like my gift, My dear," her voice murmured, the words echoing softly in the depths of my mind. It was a question filled with a curious mix of warmth and amusement, as if Death herself found amusement in my awe.
A smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I responded silently, my thoughts reaching out to her in the void. "Yes, it's... breathtaking," I replied, my words carried by the silent expanse around me.
"More beautiful that my panties." Death said breaking all the sentimental atmosphere with her unexpected comment.
"Well, there goes the poetic inspiration," I said, shaking my head in mock disappointment. "I was about to pen a masterpiece, and you just had to ruin it with your panty talk."
Death chuckled, her laughter echoing through the void. "Oh, come on, my dear," she replied, a mischievous glint in her eye. "You know you love my sense of humor."
I couldn't help but let out a chuckle, the tension of the moment melting away into playful banter. "Yeah, Death, keep telling yourself that," I replied, rolling my eyes in mock exasperation.
But even as we joked, I couldn't shake the truth in Death's words. The scene before me truly was breathtaking, with the Great Tomb of Nazarick suspended amidst the stars like a grand celestial palace.
Before I could ponder further, Albedo's voice broke through the reverie. "My Lord, what is this place? The whole Nazarick floating," she asked, her voice filled with curiosity.
I turned to Death with a raised eyebrow, unable to resist the urge to tease her. "Hey Death, you heard the lady. What's the deal with this place?" I asked.
"This place is called dimensional gap." Death said.
"The dimensional gap?" I repeated, "As in the place where the great red dragon of dreams is living?" Was I about to knock on the door of the final boss of the DXD world?
Death chuckled softly, a knowing glint in her eyes. "Yes and no," she replied cryptically. "While this is indeed the dimensional gap, the likelihood of you encountering the great red dragon is quite slim—unless, of course, you decide to utilize your Multiverse system."
I frowned, processing her words carefully. So, while I might not stumble upon the legendary dragon by sheer chance, there was still a possibility of meeting him if I chose to actively seek him out using the powers granted by the Multiverse system.
"Well, that certainly adds a new layer of intrigue to our little adventure," I mused aloud, a thrill of excitement coursing through me at the thought of facing such a formidable opponent.
Death nodded, a faint smile dancing at the corners of her lips. "Indeed," she agreed, her voice tinged with a hint of excitement. "The Multiverse system opens up endless possibilities, and the dimensional gap is where countless realities converge. It's a realm of boundless potential. That's precisely why I chose to position Nazarick here."
"Lord Alexander, are you alright? You haven't said anything." Albedo asked.
I snapped out of my contemplation, realizing that Albedo had been waiting for a response. Clearing my throat, I turned back to her with a sheepish grin. "Ah, my apologies, Albedo. Just got lost in thought for a moment there," I replied, hoping to brush off my momentary distraction.
Albedo's expression softened with understanding, but her curiosity still lingered. "But, My Lord, what is this place? How did we end up here?" she pressed, her eyes searching mine for answers.
I glanced at Death, silently asking for guidance. With a nod from her, I turned back to Albedo, ready to provide an explanation. "Well, you see, Albedo, this is the dimensional gap," I began, trying to sound as authoritative as possible. "It's a space where different dimensions intersect, allowing for travel between worlds."
Albedo's eyes widened with fascination, and I could see the gears turning in her mind as she processed this information. "So, does that mean we're in a different world now?" she asked, her voice filled with wonder.
