Not praying for ten strings

In a world dominated by seven super-corporations, the Longevity Species that always occupied the pinnacle of power didn't allow for the enactment of written laws. The Floating Islands of prisons delimited by lines on the map, where resources would inevitably run out in the future...
People yearned for the birth of a true "Hero," yet they cynically awaited the fall of a Hero from grace.
As long as one was hailed by the media as a Hero, even murder could be forgiven, and every word they said would be adored. Even high and mighty Elves dared not provoke the edge of a Hero.
But if a Hero of the past committed even a minor offense, the moment their image crumbled, the forgiven sins would flare up like an inextinguishable furnace, and the stars of yesterday would instantly become unforgivable criminals...

Since the Inferior made no effort to conceal it, Russell easily discerned the nature of the new Spiritual Energy ability the Inferior had acquired.


It was not simply the elimination of sound, but rather a swapping of the internal and external "voice paths," while simultaneously dropping his own voice to a subsonic wave frequency.


Because the moment the Inferior uttered his first sentence, the moment his lips began to move, both Russell and Strangulation felt a strong sense of nausea and dizziness. But the Inferior quickly realized this and immediately shut his mouth, speaking solely through Spiritual Energy.


At that time, his mouth was completely still, but a voice emanated from within his body.


Normally, conversations between a Demon and its Host could not be heard by others. But within the domain of the "Silent Void," all external sounds were blocked, only the Demon's voice could be heard.
