Swoosh——
Projection in the front, true self in the back.
In the void, it's hard to grasp the concept of distance. All the way forward, Hermes can only barely determine his direction by the position of the world behind him.
Not knowing how much time has passed, at a certain moment, at the edge of his perception, the God of Commerce vaguely sensed something.
Looking up, at the farthest edge of world power, an irregular light point was flickering unsteadily, emitting a dim glow.
And before the light point, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure stood there.
"That is... it's him!"
His face changed drastically, never expecting to encounter the Divine King himself.
Retreating a step, Hermes nearly fled on the spot.
However, the next moment, he reacted from his panic.
Hermes suddenly realized that if the one standing before him was that Great Divine Power, the master of gods, he would surely have discovered his presence, so what difference would running make?
