Roy was deeply puzzled by the situation in the abyss.
According to his original understanding, if the Abyss World was also located on a planet, then the deeper one went into the abyss, the closer one would be to the planet's core, and the weaker the gravity should become. Roy was no top student, and he had long since returned his high school physics knowledge to his teacher, but he still knew that much.
Yet the current situation was the opposite. It seemed that the farther down one went into the abyss, the stronger the gravity became. This seemingly unscientific phenomenon left Roy somewhat unable to understand what the abyss truly was. Was it on a planet, or was it an independent space?
Fortunately, puzzled as he was, Roy did not dwell on it too much. So what if it defied science? It was not as though he expected to become a scientist among demons.
After landing on the ground, the sensation beneath Roy's feet told him that the ground here was much hotter than that of the Shallow Abyss World. Demons were naturally more heat-resistant, yet standing on this ground still gave him an unbearable scalding sensation. Roy could not help wondering whether he should move up his plan to get himself some armor. At the very least, he ought to make himself a pair of boots first.
Roy's legs had forward-bending joints, and his feet were beast-like with hooked claws. When standing, the soles of his feet were practically pressed against the ground, so naturally he felt the heat more intensely. Demon Hoof, with its toes covered in a horny layer, would adapt better to such an environment. However, Roy had never considered altering his feet, because Demon Hoof generally came with reverse-jointed legs. Such legs were better
