"You're still using that...?"

Sukuna said with a wry smile to Shuten, who was still using Sukuna's avatar when they first met.

"I'm still in a tight spot. But Sukuna, this time it was much easier for me to call you because you were approaching me."

The reason why the Shuten uses Sukuna's avatar is simply that Sukuna is the one who first met the Shuten.

Shuten couldn't even take a proper form before then. After Shuten was sealed, it was only after she interfered with Sukuna's body and copied it into her temporary body that Shuten was finally able to talk to her.

However, because she rescued and copied Sukuna who had been almost killed by the True Dragon Apocalypse, she's stuck with her tattered avatar.

As for Sukuna, she doesn't want to see her past self if possible because it would remind her of the moment of defeat.

"This is the magic tool that connects the other world to this world? Maybe it's because time is different, but it doesn't seem to work well in this world.... What good is this going to do? As usual, I don't know what the Creator God Iris thinks."

Shuten said curiously as she poked at the streaming jewel floating in the air but was somewhat unsteady.

The fact that it wasn't functioning properly meant that my viewers couldn't see her, right?

(It's probably better this way too? I mean, how could I explain this other side?)

"I won't ask how since it's always out of the blue, but... why did you call me now?"

Looking back, Shuten will only meet her when she wants to say something, and every time, without fail, Sukuna always got forcibly dragged to this side against her will.

During the battle with the true dragon Apocalypse, Sukuna was rescued on the verge of death, and the day after Sukuna met Kohaku, she was dragged into this world as soon as she logged in.

When Sukuna thinks about it calmly, this Kishin is really doing it selfishly... Anyway, Shuten has shown up, which means she wanted to convey something.

Sensing Sukuna's question, Shuten answered.

"It was because it was necessary for you right now. As for the battle outside, don't worry. This space is moving at four times the speed of the outside world, so you have plenty of time... Of course, it depends on how well your companions are doing."

"I see... well, since it's them, they'll be fine."

Four times the speed of the outside world, which means that one second on the outer side is four seconds on this side.

Sukuna could hear their muffled voice since she woke up; it seems her hearing is fine. It's just the time in this space flowing differently.

Judging from the way the Shuten put it and various circumstances, it seems that Sukuna herself is still "in battle" under the system and was forcibly brought to this realm by Shuten, just like in the past two encounters.

Sukuna has actually been wondering about what kind of authority that Melty, Shuten Douji, and the other top-ranked NPCs in this game have been given, but that's not important right now.

"It seems they struggled quite a bit out there, though. It seems that no matter how slow the flow of time is in this world, there is no time for idle chatter."

Shuten looked at the battle outside and sharpened her gaze a little.

Sukuna could see that Arthur and Drago had changed their equipment and currently fighting Nocturne, who had turned into a wolf.
