The Otherworld ｢異界, ikai｣, also known as the Underworld ｢冥界, meikai｣[1] or the Seal ｢異界, fūin, lit. "Alien World"｣, is a demi-material world that overlaps with spiritual worlds such as the Elemental Realm and the Daemon Realm.[2] It is home to the aggressors and the Spooky Palace.
The Otherworld is said to be an adjacent world to the Daemon Realm[1] and can be accessed through Underworld gates ｢冥界門, meikai mon｣.[2]
Characteristics[]
The Otherworld is bigger than the universe of Earth.[3] Its conditions are akin to outer space due to the absence of gravity in which traditional notions of up or down and ground or sky do not apply.
Instead of planets, this realm consists solely of objects of densely concentrated magicules scattered throughout the expansive void. These masses possess remarkable strength, comparable to the resilience of magisteel, and have the inherent ability to generate formidable gravitational forces.
Consequently, they have been meticulously processed and adapted for use as foundational structures for bases. The former inhabitants of the Otherworld, the phantoms, relied upon these bases to maintain a semblance of life reminiscent of their experiences in the Central World, ensuring they did not forget the familiarity of living within a gravitational field.
Trivia[]
- It's implied that the otherworld's physical location is akin to an encompassing space around all other material and demi-material worlds. This comes from the way the phantoms' army uses it to link and access multiple parallel worlds to then destroy them, such as the case of the Homeworld of Hazy Style.
- The only place the Otheworld can't directly access is Veldanava's Heavenly Star Palace.
