"This was the most terrifying bell in Boundless Mystery. Good thing I wasn't the one who rang it."
Among the onlookers, all of them divine entities, the rotting god who considered himself everyone's father sighed like that.
Meanwhile, the Master of Flesh, who knew nothing and believed the Comical Starfish was a friendly being, continued cheerfully pressing the Pineapple Doorbell in the form of a foolishly adorable Red Dragon Cub.
Ding-dong, ding-dong!

Moreover, they did not make any being feel malice.
They looked simple and honest, and very cute.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
Every divine entity heard those words.
Unexpectedly loud, and carrying no contamination.
