Hestu stared at the colossal violet slime floating in the middle of the dark void. Its enormous figure gave a sense of grandeur that almost felt godly in nature—as if this divine being had descended from the heavens and visited the human plane.
"Who—who are you?!" Hestu asked, his voice filled with confusion yet with a hint of wariness. He didn't dare to offend this humongous being. After all, it was more than probable that they were the reason why he was here in the first place.
"I am a ninj—ahem… a celestial," the slime responded. Its voice bypassed the sound entirely and spoke directly into Hesu's mind.
"A celestial?! What do you want from me? Get me out of here!"
Hestu struggled to push himself off to try and find a way out of the darkness, but found that he couldn't. No matter how much force he used, it couldn't displace him from his current location. It was as if he was suspended—trapped in the very air.
