Forbidden Magic: 『Teleportation to Divine Realm』

Last night, I had been thinking about having a little chat with the Creator God.
I wanted to ensure that Seira could safely step down from her role as the Holy Maiden and that she wouldn’t be forced to become the ruler of the Holy City.
However, it seemed that I couldn’t enter the Grand Temple except during worship hours.
Also, due to the absence of the priests caused by the daemon, regular people were not allowed into the Grand Temple for the time being.
The Holy Maiden succession ceremony would hopefully be over soon, and once Iesha had settled into her role as the Holy Maiden, people would be able to enter the Grand Temple.
But there was a chance that Seira might be coerced into becoming the ruler of the Holy City, as she had a personality that made her want to help others when they relied on her.
After all, she had sacrificed her own wishes to serve as the Holy Maiden for so long.
I wanted her to live her life as she wished, without being constrained by her role as the Holy Maiden.
While I thought that I could ask the Creator God to help with this, I couldn’t enter the Great Temple. So, I decided to attempt teleporting to the Divine Realm through magic.
When my family and I were transported to the Divine Realm, I had marked the Divine Realm for teleportation—
But now, I couldn’t sense the presence of that magic circle.
My teleportation magic required a two-step process.
First, it would summon me into the—interstitial space between the Human Realm and the Spirit Realm.
Afterward, I would re-summon myself, using a magic circle marked with the destination point in the interstitial space. The Divine Realm wasn’t accessible through the Human Realm, so I couldn’t rely on my usual method.
I had managed to move freely in the interstitial space ever since the Star Spirit King had brought us there. The reason for this extra step was that my teleportation magic involved—summoning myself.
Feeling the magical power of the transfer magic circle, I am summoned there. In other words, if I cannot sense the magical power of the magic circle, I cannot teleport.
And the range of my magical perception is at most enough to cover one country at full power, so I cannot normally teleport to other countries.
For example, when I am in Glendale, I cannot sense the magical power of the magic circle set up in Alheim, so direct teleportation is not possible.
To overcome this, I devised a method to teleport by traversing the interstitial space, ignoring distance.
The interstitial space is connected to anywhere in the human world where we live. There is no concept of distance there.
Once inside the interstitial space, I can sense the magical power of all the teleportation magic circles I have set up.
I then summon myself towards the magical power of the magic circle I felt.
Recently, I have become accustomed to it, so the process of searching for the magical power of the destination magic circle in the interstitial space has become fast and automatic.
By thinking of the destination and entering the magic circle of the origin, I can almost instantly teleport to the destination.
Perhaps, even someone who has teleported with me may not know that I am using the interstitial space.
However, with this method, I still couldn’t reach the Divine Realm.
In the interstitial space, I searched for the magical power of the teleportation circle marked in the Divine Realm, but I couldn’t sense the magical power.
In other words, the interstitial space and the Divine Realm are not connected.
In this case, teleporting to the Divine Realm seemed hopeless.
Suddenly, I recalled something.
When the Creator God invited us to the Divine Realm, the Creator God used the doorknob of a room in the Grand Temple as the entrance to the Divine Realm.
At that time, there were characters floating on the doorknob touched by the Creator God’s hand.
They were probably characters for creating a gate connecting the human world and the Divine Realm.
I remembered those characters.
Although I don’t have the absolute memory skill like Luna, being a sage has significantly improved my memory.
I didn’t understand the meaning of the characters, but I remembered their shape well, so I decided to try reproducing those characters with magic.
Reproducing the characters consumed a considerable amount of magical power.
Unlike Elvish or ancient runic characters, reproducing just one character consumed nearly a hundred thousand units of magical power.
There were twelve characters in total.
Spending a total of twelve hundred thousand units of magical power, I somehow managed to reproduce all the characters around my right wrist.
Then, making the motion of grabbing the doorknob with my right hand—
A door appeared in space.
Opening it revealed a pure white space on the other side.
I entered that door.
Except for the door behind me, everything else is in a white space.
It’s the Divine Realm.
I managed to teleport to the Divine Realm.
However, coming here is not the only purpose.
While thinking about somehow meeting the Creator God—
「H-Haruto, what are you doing here?」
An old man with white hair and beard appeared in front of me.
「Oh, Creator God!」
The Creator God had a surprised expression.
「Did you by any chance use those characters on your hand—」
「I’m sorry, I really wanted to see you…… I tried imitating the method the Creator God used to bring us to the Divine Realm, and somehow I made it here」
「You made it here… …for real? When you passed through the door, did anything happen to your body?」
「The door? Oh, I felt a slight tingling when I passed through」
「Even though the divine magic to reject those not invited by the gods is in effect, that’s all it did… This fixed status—indeed, it was an outrageous curse. To produce a monster that can repel even the magic of the highest order and the divine magic in reaching this Divine Realm… …that idiotic fool……」
The idiotic fool he mentioned is probably the Evil God?
「Um, was it really bad that I came here on my own?」
「Well, I won’t blame you for coming, but be sure not to try to bring anyone else. If someone other than you does, the magic of this world’s highest class will instantly evaporate even that person’s soul」
I see. I understand that it’s not good to come to the Divine Realm easily.
「I-I’ll be careful. So, is it okay for me to be here alone?」
「Yes. It’s a special case. If possible, before coming, let me know with a few words. That way, I can understand when you’re coming」
「Understood!」
Since I wasn’t scolded for coming here on my own, I gathered my courage and consulted the Creator God about Seira.
The Creator God listened to my request and granted it.
