Chapter 64: Raising Hells
“Dimensional splicer activated. Resistance not detected,” the world core of X2 said. “Travel to dimensional layer, designation: third hell, now available.”
“Remember, you’ll have a slight bit of travel before you reach Druhmiyan,” Zhou Shan said. “The Unity and the Hegemony are the only two factions in the galaxy who the devils have granted this access to, and even then, only into a select region of the third layer of the hells.”
“What’s there to be concerned about? We’ll just give anything threatening us a beating,” Orodan said.
“Well… I suppose travellers at your level of power need not worry. Still, the outskirts of the third hell where you’re venturing are full of wild demons and dangerous habitats. No other place within our galaxy is quite so volatile and full of danger during travel,” Zhou Shan explained.
Indeed, the High Sovereign gave a fair warning. Orodan had done some reading about the hells prior. Even before this long loop of his, the hells were known in the myths and legends of Alastaia. Many centuries ago, a large undertaking had taken place, and the seventh layer of hell was scoured and purged by the Conclave. It did this by using a device to open thousands upon thousands of dimensional portals into that layer, with each of these layers leading to an independent world.
One of the worlds which had gotten caught up and inadvertently assisted the Conclave as a result, was his home world of Alastaia.
And the accounts of what the Alastaians had encountered were warning enough, and this was merely in the seventh layer of hell. To venture into the third layer where some travel was involved before reaching the neutral city of Druhmiyan? It wasn’t a safe trip by any means.
For the average traveller at least.
Orodan, Zaessythra and W78 were far from average.
