Sea Star Underworld.
Inside Enma Palace in Yellow Springs City, compared to its previous desolation,
there was now considerably more life here.
Within the hall,
several maidservants clad in purple gauze stood silently to the side with their heads lowered.
At the same time, along both sides of the corridor leading to the main gates,
a Major wearing a purple Coat of Justice stood guard every five meters.
Two Underworld Army Colonels stood at either side of the gates.
Beyond them lay rows upon rows of jet-black, jade-like steps.
Below the steps,
a hundred-meter-wide, five-hundred-meter-long avenue stretched directly toward the palace in the distance.
Along both sides of the avenue, expressionless Pure Titans in Underworld Army uniforms and coats stood silently at their posts, black spears in hand, like exquisite humanoid statues.
As the palace gates covered in strange, intricate patterns opened wide,
Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo appeared, holding the Red Gourd.
Without further hesitation, he immediately strode toward the grand Enma Palace.
He passed down the avenue, up the steps, through the hall gates, and along the corridor.
Finally, upon entering the main hall, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo saw
Imu seated casually upon an obsidian throne, along with Little Enma, who had taken Loli form and stood obediently nearby with Two-Tails Matatabi in her arms.
There should originally have been a large stone table beneath the platform.
But now, there was nothing there.
There had originally been no throne upon the platform, but now there was one.
All because Imu had arrived.
Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo understood this perfectly well.
He then quickly stepped forward a few paces, stopping roughly twenty meters from the raised platform. He bowed slightly and reported respectfully.
"Your subordinate deity, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, pays his respects to Lord Imu!"
"Mm. You've worked hard. Did you bring all those chief gods?"
Imu
