Chapter 201: It's You I Choose, Abyss of Fire Hell
Chapter 201: It's You I Choose, Abyss of Fire Hell
"Lord Ruby King, which hell do you plan to attack this time?" A priest from the Church asked.
The priest's face was bitter. The last time he followed this person to attack a hell, the cardinal of the Hell Church who accompanied him was killed. The traces of the battle between two Hell Lords still existed, leaving an area of hundreds of kilometers barren. Even though Qin Muye had cleaned up the aftermath, the area remained desolate.
"Any hell will do, but it must be at least three times the size of the Transylvania City hell." He didn't care which hell it was, as long as it was large enough.
Hearing this, the Church priest's expression turned serious. This simple requirement also indicated one thing: Lord Ruby King's strength had grown even stronger.
"The Abyss of Fire Hell, its Hell Lord is the Fire Lake Devil, Satan, who is said to be the adversary of God and possesses immense power. According to rumors, Vlad III of Transylvania City Hell was seduced and cultivated by this Satan, which led to him becoming a Hell Lord," the Church priest explained.
"Fire Lake Devil? But I still want to ask, is there really a God?" Qin Muye countered.
Satan's affairs could be set aside for now, as there were multiple Satans in this world. However, the Hell Lord of this particular hell was one of the Satans.
Qin Muye was more interested in whether there really was a God. This was very important.
The Church priest hesitated for a moment before reluctantly saying, "Yes, he is a Hell Lord. His hell is named Eden, which is the strongest of all hells."
"..." Qin Muye was speechless. Well, you guys are asking for trouble by doing this.
"According to the intelligence gathered by the Church, God and his Eden are the first Hell Lord and hell. There is a rumor that humans are one of his creations. However, God has been in a perpetual slumber, and the gates of Eden Hell have only been opened once since the dawn of human civilization."
"That time was during the angel rebellion, which led to the creation of many hells and Hell Lords. It was also during that time that the Church was founded."
The Church priest did not hide anything, revealing all the secrets he knew. Hiding them would serve no purpose.
"Besides these angel-type hells, how did the other hells come into existence?" Qin Muye was curious about this.
"I don't know. They just appeared suddenly. It seems to be related to some local folklore, but not entirely."
"However, according to what Leviathan of the Hell Church once revealed, God is the source of everything, whether it is them or us," the priest explained simply, then gave Qin Muye a curious look.
Most hells are born with their own Hell Lords and do not change hands. What Qin Muye did—killing a Hell Lord and taking over the hell to become a Hell Lord himself—was unprecedented.
Under normal circumstances, Qin Muye would not have been able to gain control of a hell. Without a Hell Lord, a hell would collapse.
But Qin Muye was a lord, and what he couldn't do, the Lord Era could. Thus, he became a Hell Lord, inheriting the hell perfectly.
If he had delayed a few more days, the original hell might have collapsed even faster.
"From this, it seems God is very powerful," Qin Muye said calmly. First, the sealing technique that kept all Hell Lords trapped in their hells came from Eden.
He had every reason to suspect that the entity behind the Church was the God in Eden.
"The Pope once said that God is omnipotent," the Church priest added, following Qin Muye's train of thought.
"Omnipotent? Then can he create a stone he cannot lift?" Qin Muye countered.
"I have never seen God. If I have the opportunity, I will certainly ask for the Ruby King," the Church priest said, not minding Qin Muye's challenge, and promised to help ask.
"Alright, I hope you can give me an answer one day," Qin Muye shrugged, encouraging him to try.
As their conversation deepened, the Church priest's initially tense nerves gradually relaxed.
Because of Qin Muye's reputation as a ruthless Hell Lord and the fact that he had led everyone to their deaths during the last attack, the Church priest's expression was filled with despair. However, he gradually realized that Qin Muye seemed to be relatively normal.
"This time, you won't need to help open the seal. Last time, the other party acted slowly and Vlad III noticed, so we were planning to fight inside, but..." Qin Muye briefly explained the reason why everyone was wiped out while he survived.
The Church priest remained expressionless: "Lord Ruby King, you mean to say that you will go in yourself this time?"
Without opening the seal, it was impossible to enter. But once the seal was opened, a Hell Lord could leave the entrance in an instant.
Not all Hell Lords were as immobile as the Book of Death. Vlad III had already sensed the seal being opened and might have been waiting at the entrance.
This time, the Fire Lake Devil Satan was even more powerful and would certainly notice.
"I can try," Qin Muye said with a half-smile, probing to see if the priest knew whether he could enter other Hell Lords' hells at will.
Qin Muye's ability to bypass the seals at hell entrances had always been a major concern for both the Hell Church and the Church, who wanted to uncover his methods but had no leads.
No power could afford to let a powerful Hell Lord like Qin Muye roam freely.
If it weren't for the lack of a viable plan, they would have acted long ago.
As for the magic crystals, that was another matter. They wanted the magic crystals, but they also wanted to seal Qin Muye.
"Be my guest," the Church priest replied helplessly. He was just an ordinary priest, with no magic power or hellish abilities. Being sent to guide Qin Muye was no different from being sent to die as cannon fodder.
"Ah, this isn't a matter of whether I can or can't. If I can enter, I will; if I can't, I won't," Qin Muye countered.
The Church priest ignored Qin Muye's quip and said, "Let me give you a brief introduction to the Abyss of Fire Hell."
"The Abyss of Fire Hell is not like the Abyss Hell; it has a two-layer structure. The first layer is populated by souls that Satan has raised, similar to the blood slaves in the Transylvania City Hell. The difference is that these are ordinary people, and they occupy 80% of the area."
"This 80% area is relatively safe, while the remaining 20% is the Fire Hell, resembling a vast lake of fire. This is where the Fire Lake Devil Satan gets his name."
"The Fire Hell is in the second layer, which contains Satan's palace and a large number of devils. These devils, under Satan's command, collect the souls of ordinary people from the first layer to offer to Satan."
"Thus, the first layer resembles an era from five hundred years ago, filled with ignorance and chaos. To improve the quality of the souls, there are various virtuous knights, kind priests, and other forces fighting against the devils, only to fall into corruption in a dramatic fashion."
"The first layer is essentially Satan's farm for food and his opera house for entertainment."
Qin Muye raised an eyebrow at this. This Fire Lake Devil really knew how to play.
If Qin Muye were in his place, he would do the same. After all, it's better to find something to do than to sit idle.
"The devils tempt people, causing the righteous and kind to fall into corruption. This is Satan's favorite part. Such souls are of the highest quality, providing both mental pleasure and a delicious treat for Satan."
"So, Lord Ruby King, you must be careful. Satan not only has immense power but also the ability to manipulate hearts."
The Church priest kindly warned, though he still maintained his caution. Between Satan and Qin Muye, he favored Qin Muye, as the latter seemed more aligned with humanity rather than hell.
If Qin Muye could eliminate Satan and his hell, it would be a good thing.
After all, Satan cared only for his hell, and the people in it would be thrown out. This had happened once before, and now Van Helsing and the eldest son and daughter of the Veleris family have joined the Church, which is a positive development.
