Upon the sun.
On the surface of the blazing star.
Ink green flames could be seen everywhere, filling every inch of this place and constantly scorching everything they touched.
Unlike ordinary stars, whose surfaces only had temperatures of a few thousand degrees—nothing worth fussing over.
In a world with supernatural properties like this, celestial bodies such as suns often possessed special powers.
The flames upon them burning through space was perfectly normal.
But to Orsaga, this place clearly posed no threat...
No matter which angle one looked at it from.
Because this was his territory.
Or, more accurately, it should have been called the territory of his dependents.
Either way, it meant more or less the same thing...
After all, what was his was his, and what belonged to his dependents was also his.

The instant he set foot here, he had sensed that this star had already been infected.
Home-field advantage?
It could barely be called that.
Moreover, aside from this star, Orsaga also detected countless viruses existing throughout this world.
Some were viruses from within Crimson Heaven.
As one of Crimson Heaven's Standard Weapons in a certain sense, they were continuously infecting the surrounding spacetime!
They must have been spread by that Ozhaki who had explored this place.
Besides continuously infecting local Lifeforms, those viruses would, as time passed,

For example, the planet beneath Orsaga's feet could be considered an infected host of the viruses.
Although hindered by the suppressive force from Different Time and Space, its degree of completion was not especially high for now.
But after a few thousand more years,
once those viruses entered their second stage, this star would evolve into an activated infected host, becoming a monster wandering
