Chapter 979: Hell

This is the Hell of Bato, a place where mercy withers and resentment flourishes, a home for the devil, and a plane that interprets the nature of evil with the rules of order.

The first sentence of the opening sentence of "The Book of Hell" sums up the essence of the nine layers of hell very well, although it is connected to the bottomless abyss, there are countless laws and unspoken rules here, which fully reflect the conspiracy, cruelty and unscrupulous means hidden under the order, and the infighting is going on all the time, but all of them are under the control of Asmodeus, the lord of hell.

As soon as he stepped through the portal, Henry instantly smelled an extremely strong smell of blood, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the front was charred, full of rubble and wasteland, and the mountains and sloping hills in the distance were easy to make people feel abrupt.

The air was filled with blood-red light, fireballs flew in the air, and when they fell to the ground, they would emit violent explosions, and there were bursts of huge roars, and the stream formed by the scarlet blood gathered towards the Styx River in the farther direction, and a large number of armoured devil legions gathered into a phalanx, slowly driving towards the battlefield of bloody battles.

There is no doubt that this is Aphnanas, the first level of Bato's Hell, and at the forefront of the battle between the devil and the demons, even from such a distance, you can still clearly hear the earth-shattering shouts of killing, and countless giant catapults lined up in the back, throwing burning lava balls more than ten meters in diameter into the air.

All the blood on the ground came from the battlefield ahead, and it was the non-stop war that brought a lot of fresh blood, including both demons and devils.

I have to say that this is really a bit ironic, two races that are enemies of each other desperately want to destroy each other. But the blood that came out of the aftermath of death blended together perfectly. Rolling into the Underworld.

Looking at the incomparably familiar scene. Bertha couldn't help but take a deep breath of the bloody air and sighed: "It's a nostalgic breath, I haven't smelled it for more than sixty years, it's still the same here as before, I really hope that all those damn demons will be killed." ”

"Slay the demons? It's not funny. There is no species or force in the entire multiverse that has the ability to kill demons, and the gods can't do it, and you devils can't do it. After saying that, Henry smiled and shook his head.

Since the birth of the demon, countless gods have tried to destroy this uncontrolled destructive force, and they have allied with celestial beings. I have also tried to cooperate with the devils, and some of the more extreme ones even descended on the battlefield of the blood station in person, although these methods have achieved temporary results, but in the face of the huge number of demons, they all seem so pale and powerless.

In fact, the bottomless abyss has developed to this day, and it has long been integrated with the entire multiverse, and someone may be able to kill the demon prince Demogogen at a great cost, but it is absolutely impossible to eradicate the demon race.

On this point, both the gods and the upper echelons of the devils are very clear. The current lord of the first layer of hell, Bair, has repeatedly stated in public that he has achieved numerous victories. But it was impossible to destroy the demon, and it was extremely difficult for him to even push the show forward a bit.

"Damn! Can't you say something pleasing to people? I've been in a bad mood all by you! Bertha glared back through gritted teeth, her face full of annoyance.

As a devil, she was born with an unforgettable hatred for demons, and after thousands of years of fighting, this hatred has been deeply rooted in the genes, except for the city of imprints, no matter at any time and place, if the demon and the devil meet, a fierce conflict will immediately erupt, and the result often ends in the complete death of one of them.

Some people say that this is the nature of the bloodline, others say that it is a continuation of the bloody war, in short, the demon and the devil cannot coexist at all, even if there is a strong force constraint, they will fight endlessly in private.

In the book "A Thousand Most Ways to Die", there is an example of a young mage who likes novelty in order to seek excitement and summon both lust and succubus to serve him, but under their open and secret fight, the poor mage was squeezed dry in just ten minutes, and finally the whole person was sucked alive into a dried corpse.

Although it sounds exaggerated, Henry understands the hatred between the devil and the devil, so he shrugs his shoulders indifferently: "Okay, I apologize, and at the same time I wish you can destroy the demon and dominate the lower planes." ”

"Are you sure it's a blessing and not a sarcasm?" Bertha asked rhetorically with a frown.

"Haha! Don't pay too much attention to this, it won't affect the established facts anyway. Take me to the Bronze Castle, I can't wait to meet the invincible Lord of Byer, and hopefully the only undefeated commander in the bloody battle won't disappoint too much. Henry replied with a laugh.

If you ignore personal strength, purely from the perspective of a general, Bayer can almost be regarded as one of the best strategists in the entire multiverse, and maybe even one of them can be omitted in a few years.

He successfully planned several conspiracies and ambushes, greatly weakened the demon's living power, and also besieged the demon in the Abyss Plain many times, so that these guys could not step into hell.

Of course, if he hadn't had such a dazzling record, he would have been killed and replaced by a latecomer.

Because in a certain sense, Baier is not a complete Hell Lord now, just like the title of the Great Commander on his head, unless the previous Lord Zariel dies, according to the laws of Bato Hell, there can only be one lord at one level, even if another ten thousand years are useless.

Bertha had always had great confidence in her immediate superior, so she raised her chin and said in a very proud tone: "Rest assured, Lord Baier is the most brilliant devil in hell, and under his leadership we have won victory after victory, and perhaps in a few years, the Lord of Hell, Asmodeus, will appoint him as the true lord of Aphernas." ”

"Really? Then please lead the way. Henry didn't want to waste too much tongue on the subject.

In his opinion, without other means, it is almost impossible for Baier to become a real Hell Lord, because with his unbelievable series of achievements, he should have been promoted a long time ago, and it is obvious that this is probably another method of Asmodes, as long as he does not remove Zariel from the lordship for a day, Baier will not be promoted for a day, and can only stay on the front line and fight with the demons, constantly using victory to stabilize his position.

In this way, it can not only combat the arrogance of the demons, but also divert the attention of other lords, so why not.

It is almost universally known in Bato's hell, and many of the higher devils have taken this course, and there is a textbook circulating within them that teaches people how to use their rights better, and in this regard, no one can compare with the devils.

Led by the Demon of Desire, the two quickly crossed the endless plains, and it wasn't long before they saw a huge fortress rising on the horizon in the distance.

It seems to cover an area of about forty square kilometers, and from a distance it looks very rough and rigid, with twelve circular walls, each layer of which is crowded with bad demons and all kinds of huge war planes, which can be called impregnable.

In order to ensure that the castle will not be captured, the higher the wall will be, and the advantage of this is that even if the enemy captures the outer layer, the inner layer can still be suppressed condescendingly, and without more than 20 times the number of troops, you basically don't even think about it.

Henry found a very good word in his brain to describe it after just one look, and that was meat grinder.

He couldn't imagine how perverted the designer could have been to build such a huge hedgehog fortress, and he couldn't imagine who could take it, and what was even more unbelievable was that the city continued to expand outward, countless coolies were constantly making scaffolding out of bones, and the devils were pouring a mud mixed with flesh and blood, which would soon solidify under the effect of magic.

In addition, not far from the fortress city, there was a pillar stacked with skulls, more than a kilometer and a half high, all composed of demon skulls, the smallest of which was only a dozen centimeters, and the largest was like a house, which looked extremely hideous and terrifying.

As a knowledgeable mage, Henry immediately recognized it as the "Pillar of Skull", which was sung by a large number of bards, not only symbolizing the victories of the devils in bloody battles, but also the entrance to the second level of hell, as long as you follow the spiral metal spire, you can soon see the burning steel city "Dis".

However, anyone heading to the second level of Hell must be careful, because inside the huge cavern near the base of the "Pillar of Skull", there is a terrifying creature keeper who leads to the entrance to the next level, her name is Tai Mart, a female evil dragon with five heads, white, black, red, green, and blue, each head can spit out matching dragon breath, and it is said that she has hoarded more treasures than a hundred worlds combined.

However, the dragon did not have a good relationship with the demons, often roaming the passage between the first and second levels of Hell with five adult male dragons, and the demons occasionally tried to attack her lair to see if they could find the huge treasures.

Pointing to the terrifying fortifications of twelve concentric circles of walls ahead, Bertha said, "That is the Bronze Castle, and the building in the center of the wall is the personal fortress of Lord Bair. ”

"But he was really cautious enough, he actually put his lair in a place where it was almost impossible to be captured, didn't he need to be on the front line as the lord of the first layer of hell?" Henry asked, rubbing the blood from his boots on the dry ground.

Along the way, he almost always stepped on the viscous plasma, which was really uncomfortable, so as soon as he got to the dry ground, he immediately began to clean the soles of his shoes, otherwise there was always an indescribable awkwardness. (To be continued......)
