Chapter 162: The Reversal of the Law (Part 2)

Kanya said, “Alright, I’ll explain. This place is called the Outer Hell. It’s also known as Purgatory.”

Shirone asked, “Purgatory? This place?”

Kanya nodded, “Yes, the prison of the land. It’s where heretics who rejected the law live. Now I get it. You guys denied the existence of the gods in the land of the heavens. That’s why you fell here.”

Shirone didn’t correct her misconception. Even if he explained, she wouldn’t understand, and it wasn’t entirely wrong. None of his group believed in Anke Ra anyway.

Kanya continued, “Seeing that you use magic, you must be descendants of the Noor clan. How pitiful. Once you fall into Purgatory, the only thing left for you is death. You’ll eventually die.”

Shirone replied, “Yeah, we’ll eventually die. But so will you.”

Kanya puffed up her chest slightly, looking a bit smug. “Not at all. I’m a divine chosen by the gods. That’s why I’m guaranteed eternal life.”

Shirone recalled the myths of Kergo. If someone could grant eternal life, they could indeed be called a god.

But it didn’t feel realistic.

All living beings age and eventually die. Preventing death was impossible, even with the power of magic.

Realizing the identity of Shirone’s group, Kanya felt relieved. She disliked heretics, but these were pitiful beings who hadn’t even been given the chance to receive the divine power.
