From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Looking at the abyss emitting strange light, you know that it is the entrance to the lower hell and even the core of hell.

After protecting Serin who seemed to have "no fighting ability", a group of dark angels began to observe the first layer of hell where they were, the Lingbo.

"."

Galan, standing at the front of the formation, used the auxiliary vision of his helmet to look at the "people" living here.

Most of the "people" living here have dull eyes and stiff bodies. Some wear medieval costumes, while others are equipped with modern individual equipment.

But the architectural style of towns, villages and fortresses tends to be medieval.

According to the results of the screen scan and preliminary analysis, there are at least 200 million "people" here, crowded in an area of ​​less than 20,000 square kilometers.

Galan, who has read "The Divine Comedy: Inferno", understands that the souls wandering in the spirit world are mostly "pagans" who believe in other religions or simply do not believe in religion.

Some people died before the birth of Jesus, and because they were unable to judge their faith, they were forced to wander here forever.

Although they do not have to endure torture, "they" cannot leave the spirit world, go to heaven, or be reborn.

"The religion of this universe is so disgusting, damn it!"

The company guards who had previously threatened Charon became extremely indignant when they realized that most of the souls stranded here could never find peace because they "did not believe in God" or "did not believe in any religion."

Why should I go to hell just because I don’t believe in “your” teachings?

Besides!

Shouldn't hell and heaven be diametrically opposed, never to have anything to do with each other?

Why are people who do not believe in God and Jesus imprisoned in the first level of hell?

After all, "The Divine Comedy: Inferno" is a literary work of the main universe, but the scene before our eyes proves that there is an inexplicable "cooperation" relationship between heaven and hell.

Due to the "immortality", the soul trapped in the spirit world gradually loses itself, and becomes dull and confused.

The soul that knows why it is trapped here has its mind twisted by anger and hatred, and attacks everything almost indiscriminately.

These angry souls may maintain the discipline and organization they had in life and fight as an army, or they may become madmen without any reason and kill anyone they see.

In short, after death, if people living in the "One Three" universe have doubts and resistance to God and heaven during their lifetime, then they are destined to be sent to the spirit world and suffer endless suffering for eternity.

Looking at it from another perspective, the church of the "One Three" universe allows people to believe in and fear God and heaven, which is actually a more "correct" move.

For example, Christopher Roland, who wanted to escape from the frontier town with his son and daughter so that he could live with some dignity and live like a human being, although he had not committed any mistakes during his lifetime and would pray on time, there is a great probability that he would go to the spirit world after his death.

Let’s look at it from a deeper perspective.

The heaven and hell of the "One and Three" universe achieve the "enslavement" of humans, an intelligent race, through cooperative relationships and maintaining balance, and then gain the power of human faith.

Whether you believe in God or worship the devil, heaven and hell are both good.

As for those who do not believe in either side, they will be gradually "eliminated".

If this continues for a long time, the earth and human beings in the "One Three" universe will completely become the "chessboard and food" of heaven and hell.

This is also why the company guard who threatened Charon would tear off his "civilized" face and swear.

The intentions of heaven and hell are truly disgusting.

After Serin noticed the indignation of the Dark Angels, she took out the Flower of Purity again and planted it quite skillfully.

Galan, who was still angry at first, saw the land beneath his feet being quickly purified and assimilated under the influence of the pure flower, and he was immediately confused:

"Ms. Celine, how many flowers did you bring?"

"not much."

Serin stood up, patted the dust off her palms, and continued:

"But it is enough to completely assimilate the Hell Plane into the Emperor's private domain within sixty Earth days."

"."

Galan, Aldemo and the company guards all fell silent.

Serin didn't notice that there was something wrong with the atmosphere around her. Besides, at her current stage, she couldn't have the so-called "sixth sense" to perceive the atmosphere like humans.

She walked towards the abyss in the center of the spirit void and said to herself:

"Of course, the premise is that in the Hell Plane of Universe 13, there is no one powerful enough to rival His Majesty the Emperor.

Otherwise, the pure flower cannot reproduce and purify unimpeded."

Seeing that Serin had already started to act, Galan and the others came to their senses and headed towards the abyss leading to the depths of hell.

At first, they thought that intelligent AI was a burden and would be a hindrance in times of crisis.

But they never thought that Serin had prepared enough pure flowers in advance?

In other words, before boarding the Thunder Transport, Serin had already anticipated, or guessed, that they would choose to raid the Gate of Hell with a small number of elite troops for the sake of the legion's honor and to seize the first merit, so she prepared enough pure flowers in advance.

As expected, "advisers" often play a greater role than these reckless men.

Not long ago, Galan was quite resistant to intelligent artificial intelligence due to the influence of the Primitive Lion. He always felt that they would be like Skynet in the Terminator universe and could launch a rebellion in the Crisis Empire at any time.

This resulted in the 1st Company having only stupid AI to assist them in daily life and military deployment.

Now?

Galan plans to use his achievement of defeating the Lord of Hell to apply to the Empire for a latest model of intelligent AI to help develop their Dark Angels' 1st Company.

After quickly calming down, Galan asked Serin beside him while keeping a close eye on the movements around him:

"Ms. Serin, if the Pure Flower assimilates the Hell Plane and transforms it into the Emperor's private domain, then where will these souls trapped in the Spirit Thinness go?"

"I'm not sure either." Serin shook her head slightly.

Although she was made from a living clone of Alexia's brain, she is not the real Alexia.

Therefore, she did not understand Sui Yang's psychic abilities, and had no idea that the power of faith would also enhance Sui Yang's psychic power.

However, she still made an estimate based on the existing data and continued:

"Based on your majesty's past performance, these souls will most likely become your majesty's personal "properties", and then your majesty can arrange the fate of these souls based on his own thoughts and ideas.

Either they will be reborn as physical beings in Universe 1 and 3, or they will become an army of ghosts without physical bodies. "

"Yeah, indeed."

Galan nodded slightly.

Next.

The group successfully crossed the edge of the Lingbo area and went deep into the urban area closer to the abyss.

At the same time, more and more souls began to notice that they had the breath of living people.

But the soul in a confused and dazed state just thinks that "another group of poor creatures are coming on a pilgrimage to the devil", and will continue to be dazed on its own.

They don't have the leisure time to care about living people, nor do they have enough strength to interfere with living people.

We cannot say that the number of dark pilgrims who have successfully passed through the gates of hell and crossed the river of sorrow is in the tens of millions, but there are still hundreds of thousands.

Among them are many individually powerful knights and nuns.

They had been angry and jealous of living people, and had attacked the knights and nuns.

The end result was a bit tragic.

Over time, they got used to this "life" where people would visit them from time to time.

Only a very small number of souls who still retained their sanity discovered that the living people in front of them seemed to be significantly different from those dark pilgrims.

After all, Galan, Aldemo and the company guards are much taller and stronger than those knights and nuns.

The most important thing is that Charon actually let more than 40 living people go to the Lingbo at one time? !

If you think carefully about what happened behind this, it means that the world outside hell may have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Moreover, among these very few souls that still retain their sanity, there are historical great men or fictional heroes whose existence is recorded in the main universe.

For example, Homer, the author of "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey", which are regarded as "history" by Greece and Western civilization, but are actually "novels".

There are also Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and others who are known as the Three Sages of Greece.

These people who died before the birth of Jesus were deliberately imprisoned in the spirit world for thousands of years because they had never known Jesus and Christianity. They truly suffered an "unprovoked disaster."

They hid in the corners of the alleys in the city, secretly following and observing Galan, Serin and others.

Galan, Serin and the others had already discovered those souls that had retained their sanity, hiding in the dark and following them.

However, if the other party does not show obvious intention to attack, they will choose to ignore it and continue to sneak towards the location of the abyss.

after that.

The closer you get to the abyss, the more souls will lose their sanity and fall into anger.

They also began to be attacked and harassed by angry spirits.

However, when the bursts of bolter fire resounded throughout the entire spirit plane, and the angry souls witnessed with their own eyes how the high-explosive bolter shells easily blew up their companions, they all regained consciousness and kept as much distance as possible from Galan, Serin and the others.

High-explosive bolt rounds have a slightly lower killing effect on hellish creatures, but that is only true for threatening creatures, so the effect is slightly lower.

Creatures like the Greedy She-Wolf, the Ambitious Lion and the Hedonistic Leopard can use the advantage of having no physical bodies to withstand the attack of high-explosive arrow shells.

For angry souls whose individual strength is no different from that of ordinary people, the consequences of being hit by a high-explosive bomb are relatively the same as when they were alive, that is, they are blown into ashes.

Of course, it won’t be long before those souls that were blasted into ashes will be “reborn”.

But they can also feel the pain they experienced when they were alive, so after suffering a round of bursts of gunfire from the company guards, the angry souls are no longer angry.

After Galan and the others left this place, they continued to be "angry" and continued to kill each other.

It didn't take long.

Galan and his companions arrived at the edge of the abyss.

Looking downward, one can see that the abyss "spirals" downward and connects to deeper levels of Hell.

As the level gets deeper, the abyss becomes narrower.

Serin used her electronic eyes to make a visual observation and concluded that the diameter of the entrance to the abyss on the first level, Lingbo, was about nine kilometers.

The second layer of hell below, namely "lust", has a diameter of eight kilometers.

The third layer of hell, "Gluttony", is seven kilometers, and so on, until the ninth layer of hell, where only one kilometer is left.

"betray".

Galan also used the auxiliary vision of the helmet to look towards the core level of hell.

After seeing the estimated data on the screen, he continued to say to everyone: "From here to the core of hell, the vertical height is about nine kilometers."

Galan said, then looked at Serin beside him and said:

“Since crossing the gate of hell, the speed of time we perceive and the activity time presented by the individual soldier system is 18 hours.

But Ms. Celine, we cannot be sure how long the 13th Earth in the physical universe has passed."

"I can't give you a definite answer either." Serin shook her head again:

“The speed of time in the Hell plane should not have a fixed pattern. Even if there is, that is the information known by the rebellious knights, nuns, and cultists.

Since we arrived here, maybe three minutes or maybe three hours have passed in the physical universe."

Three hours? !

Then the fleet and the main force should have advanced to Jerusalem. Athena, the Grey Knights, and the Greek minor gods might have crossed the gates of hell just like them!

Boom. Boom——!!!

Just as Galan, Aldemo and the company guards had a sense of crisis, a noticeable "shake" was heard at the entrance of Lingbo.

As a result, the entire spiritual layer became unstable due to this "shaking".

The sky, which would never fall into darkness, began to show cracks, causing the originally dazed, confused and angry souls to disappear in the blink of an eye like frightened rabbits.

They either hide in buildings or crowd in alleyways, making the streets look empty.

As for the "culprit" who could cause this commotion, the first person that Galan and others thought of was the goddess of war Athena, who could transform into a colossus.

!!!

"Brothers, it's too late to break through every level of hell! Jump to the core of hell and go straight to the Lord of Hell!"

After Galan finished speaking, he suddenly charged forward and leaped, causing himself to free fall towards the ninth level of hell.

"For the Dark Angels!"

"For the Primarch and the Emperor!"

"The head of the Lord of Hell belongs to us Dark Angels!!"

"For the first merit!!"

Aldaimo and his company guards roared in excitement for the first time since entering the Hell plane, and "free fell" towards the core of Hell one after another.

"No matter how mature they pretend to be, they are still just a bunch of kids in their twenties."

Serin imitated the helpless tone of humans, and then jumped like Galan and others, heading straight for the ninth level of hell composed of frozen lake water and hot magma.
