From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

In the abyss;

Galan, Aldemo, Serin and the others were rapidly falling towards the core of hell nine kilometers below.

In just a few seconds, they quickly passed through the second level of hell: "Lust".

Dark angels such as Galan and Aldaimo were in no mood to observe the "lustful" scene. Instead, they focused on controlling their respective power armors and using the short-range jet devices of their power backpacks to adjust their positions to avoid hitting the increasingly narrow cliffs of the abyss.

On the other hand, Serin, who also used the small jet outlet of her tight combat suit to adjust her falling position, was able to "task multiple things at once."

As she fell, she glanced at the lustful creature whose size was only slightly smaller than Lingbo's.

Her electronic eyes can take clear photos and capture images in an instant, recording most of the details for subsequent research by her and the relevant team.

However, the scene of lust was completely different from Yu Lingbo's.

There is no blue sky and green grass there, only darkness and torture.

Tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of souls who were driven by carnal desires during their lifetime are suffering from endless beatings and torture.

Most of them were tied to red-hot iron poles with thorns and whipped by twisted and deformed hellish creatures.

Some had numb expressions and dull eyes, as if they had become accustomed to the endless beatings.

The enchanting, beautiful, handsome, and strong creatures of hell will flirt and tease these souls who seem to be accustomed to endless suffering.

Once desire appears in their eyes, the hellish creatures in charge of the torture will cut off and smash their private parts, and apply a large amount of salt to their wounds.

Therefore, the second level, lust, is constantly filled with the wails and screams of the souls.

However, based on "The Divine Comedy: Inferno", Serin inferred that many of the souls imprisoned in the second layer of "One Three" Hell must have committed crimes such as rape and violence, and therefore endured such endless torture after death.

If this is the case, then most souls really deserve it.

However, the heaven and hell of the "One Three" universe are special. Perhaps some of the souls punished here may have simply broken the church's dogma during their lifetime.

For example, no man or woman may have sexual intercourse before marriage, and believers are required to be chaste and not have any relationship with anyone other than their partner.

In the main universe, and even in multiple universes, human residents do not care too much about the fact that "no sex before marriage", but they are very resistant to cheating.

And after the establishment of the human empire, new laws will also severely punish husbands or wives who cheat on their wives during marriage, depending on the circumstances.

Those whose crimes are serious and cause social controversy will be subject to "chemical castration", "confiscation of all personal property", and "sent to the frontier of the universe to open up wasteland".

You must know that the "chemical castration" implemented by the society controlled by the Human Empire is not a light punishment like the one in the 20th and 21st centuries of the main universe, but a mental and physical "castration".

After all, the Biological Department of the Human Empire is a key department of the "state-owned enterprise" Atlas, and it is also a key department for human society to gradually no longer be troubled by diseases.

The research on castration drugs that cause prisoners to suffer mental and physical pain is the simplest.

Moreover, the residents under the rule of the Human Empire have long spontaneously regarded the Emperor as the "God on Earth."

Therefore, when newlyweds got married, they would swear to the emperor to remain faithful and trust their partners.

The Empire cannot interfere in matters of mental infidelity and falling in love with someone else, which lead to normal divorce.

However, those who cheat on their partners mentally and physically and also intend to deceive, plot against, and murder their partners are unforgivable.

This kind of guy has such low morals that he is not even worthy of being called a "human being".

So the empire will naturally punish severely.

Otherwise, as in the late 20th and early 21st centuries in the main universe, incidents of extramarital affairs, property transfers, and murders of partners will occur frequently, making people increasingly afraid of marriage, and young people increasingly resistant to getting married. Then the fertility rate and the labor force will naturally drop rapidly.

This is not the situation the empire wants to see.

Since the Empire uses "humankind" as its prefix, it has the responsibility and obligation to ensure that the residents under its rule are happy in all aspects and have absolute trust and loyalty to the Empire.

As for adult couples having sex before marriage.

There is no need for the Human Empire to continue interfering. Nothing illegal has been done and it is a matter of mutual consent.

The humans in the "One and Three" universe, especially boys and girls who have just reached adulthood or are teenagers, are in the stage of active hormone secretion.

In addition, the more stringent the requirements and the more prohibitions there are, the more curious and yearning they will be. The various restrictions of church rules have prompted young men and women to taste the "forbidden fruit" with their respective favorite objects before marriage.

If one were to fall into the second level of the "One Three" hell and suffer extreme torture as a result, it would be a bit too much.

Of course, this is more beneficial to God and Heaven, and it uses the church's control over human society.

Because if you don’t believe them or listen to them, you will fall into hell.

Moreover, at the moment of falling, Serin captured a large number of hell creatures "getting ready", apparently preparing to go to the first layer of the spirit world to fight against Athena and others who broke into the hell plane.

She also saw the Lord of Hell, or the Great Demon of Hell, who ruled over lust—

Asmodeus.

According to the records of various main universes and the description of Asmodeus by the cultists of the "One and Three" universes, it has extremely powerful "magic power" and has a bull's head, a human head, and a sheep's head.

At the same time, it also commands an equally powerful army of evil spirits, which is the army of hellish creatures captured by Serin's electronic eyes.

They have human torsos and limbs, but most of them have festering skin, distorted faces, and are equipped with sophisticated armor and weapons.

Asmodeus, who was extremely huge, at least three hundred meters tall, was standing in front of the evil spirit army, leading the army towards the first layer of the spirit world.

Then, Serin quickly passed through the lust level and came to the third level: gluttony.

The souls imprisoned here only cared about enjoying themselves and overeating during their lifetime, so they will be soaked in the stinking mud swamp.

Their bodies were fat and swollen, their dark green skin was also festering, and white maggots were wriggling in the wounds.

"."

Although it took Celine only a few seconds to pass through the third layer, the extremely disgusting scene will be stored in her memory system forever.

Unless she takes the initiative to clear it.

The scene on the third level, Gluttony, and the souls and hellish creatures bound there, are very similar to the Nurgle creatures and Nurgle believers described in the confidential files of the Inquisition.

Serin has extremely high authority and can access most of the confidential files. She also knows the core members of the Intelligence Department. They use the Emperor's "foresight" to provide relevant intelligence on various universes to the reconnaissance troops and legion companies heading to various universes.

Therefore, she also understands that the Warp and evil gods and demons are the biggest threats to the human empire.

This is also the reason why she chose to follow Galan, Aldemo and other dark angels to personally go deep into the hell of the "One Three" universe in order to obtain enough data.

In addition to studying how to go to the heaven of the "One Three" universe and eliminate the influence of the curse oath on the knights, Serin also hopes to develop "special" weapons against subspace creatures through the hell of the "One Three" universe.

The Lord of Hell who ruled the third layer, Gluttony, was the "Fly Monarch" who had released a plague virus to Earth One Three, creating an army of tens of millions of living dead.

Beelzebub.

This demon, who is equally huge, smelly and "dirty", is just like Asmodeus. He has gathered an army of deformed creatures that refresh Seren's cognition, and is ready to fight against Athena who has already broken into the spirit world by "brute force".

Serin didn't pay much attention to this, nor did she have time to pay much attention to anything.

Because she has fallen to the fourth level of greed

Next.

Serin put the fifth layer, anger,

The sixth layer: Heresy

The seventh layer: violence,

The various scenes in the eighth level, Deception, as well as various souls and hell creatures, were all stored in her memory system.

If ordinary people witnessed the scenes before their eyes, their will and spirit would be uncontrollably eroded and corrupted.

But Serin, as an artificial intelligence, does not have this hidden danger.

She can simulate human emotions and understand the meaning behind emotions, but she is ultimately a soulless creature.

Just before she and a group of dark angels were about to make a "hard landing" on the shore of the magma lake of betrayal on the ninth floor -

Boom~——Boom!!

Galan, Aldaimo and forty company guards almost simultaneously activated the short-range jet devices of their power backpacks, temporarily slowing down their speed.

In addition, their individual soldier systems automatically adjusted the magnetic field offset device of the power armor, creating an invisible "force field" under their feet.

Boom!Boom!

Until their feet touched the ground one after another, and the magma rock under their feet created shallow pits.

Serin's exclusive combat suit not only has a small jet outlet, but also has a magnetic levitation function, allowing her to "fly" short distances.

Therefore, she landed on the lake shore more gracefully and lightly than the other "big guys".

Seren looked around.

You can see vast, hot lava lakes, as well as equally vast, cold frozen lakes.

The main body of the ninth layer is located at the edge of the magma and ice lake, which are obviously out of place but close to each other.

There is a clear difference here from other levels.

That is, there are no symbolic buildings, no souls suffering torture, and no hellish creatures carrying out the punishment.

Of course, after taking a quick look, Serin discovered that the souls of those who had committed the crime of betrayal were actually immersed in hot magma or frozen in extremely cold ice lakes.

Boom————! ! !

When Serin, Galan and others were preparing to look for the Lord of Hell of the "One Three" Universe, a violent explosion and noise were heard from above.

And a few rays of golden light shone from top to bottom at where they were.

Noticing something unusual, they looked up.

The locations of the second level, Lust, and the third level, Gluttony, were already filled with flames emitting golden light.

At the same time, they also vaguely saw the Spear of Victory, which was magnified a hundred times, piercing through Beelzebub's fat and bloated body and nailing it to the cliff of the abyss.

The colossal Athena, who is two hundred meters tall and whose skin is as white as marble, stands on the edge of the third level: Gluttony.

Followed by.

Athena actually took out a scaled-up 1911 and pulled the trigger at Beelzebub who was unable to move.

Bang——! !

puff--! !

The bullet emitting golden light directly blew Beelzebub's head into pieces.

Then, Beelzebub's body was also engulfed by the golden flames.

In just a short moment, the Lord of Hell who once brought endless suffering to the humans of the "One Three" universe turned into ashes, disappeared, and became a "considerable nutrient" that boosted Sui Yang's spiritual energy.

Then, after easily executing Beelzebub, Athena put away 1911, recalled the Spear of Victory, and turned around to continue heading towards the fourth floor, Greed.

"This"

As the champion of the company, Aldemo couldn't help but sigh after seeing Athena defeat a Hell Lord in a few seconds:

"The main Greek god is so powerful?"

After learning that the fallen gods of the main universe were jointly exterminated by the Primarchs Sanguinius and Horus, Aldemo always subjectively believed that "the main Greek gods are just so-so, and the Primarchs beat them like weaklings."

But Athena's series of performances clearly showed that she was not as "newbie" as Aldemo thought.

Moreover, judging by the speed at which the Greek demi-gods led by Athena and the group of Gray Knights were advancing, it would not take long for them to catch up.

"Compared to His Majesty the Emperor, all those who claim to be gods are insignificant." Galan turned his gaze and attention back to finding the Lord of Hell, and said to Aldaimo:

“But no matter how small, I am still a fellow who dares to call myself a god. Apart from His Majesty the Emperor, my father (Lion), and other Primarchs, no creature can defeat the Goddess of War Athena.

What we need to focus on now is to find the Lord of Hell and kill him before Athena does."

"Ah."

Aldemo nodded slightly.

According to the Divine Comedy: Inferno, Lucifer, or Satan, lies at the bottom of hell.

It has three bloody mouths, each of which holds a sinful soul, implying that all sinful souls are under its control.

At the same time, its image also reflects the medieval thinking on sin and punishment, good and evil.

Galan, Aldemo and others who went deep into the lowest level of hell did not consider the literary influence of "The Divine Comedy: Inferno", but hoped to find the so-called lord of hell through this literary work.

"hehe."

Just as Galan, Aldemo and the others were at a loss as to where to find Satan because of the desolation of the ninth floor, betrayal, they heard a deep, nasal laugh that struck their souls:

"A bunch of ignorant little guys actually dared to come to the bottom of the society.

Are you so impatient to become my food?"
