"You're here."
Upon hearing footsteps behind him, the Taurus director standing in front of a giant compass adjusted its position carefully and greeted without turning his head:
"Leon, wait behind for a mont... The [Star Gate] to the abyss is a bit unstable, and both Cancer and I are not very familiar with it; it will take a few more minutes to stabilize... Hmm?"
When he said this, realizing sothing was off with the number of footsteps, the Taurus director turned around puzzled and looked at the other "Leon" beside Leon.
"Who is he..."
"He's a big demon pieced together from those seven lamb assorted parts."
After briefly explaining the backstory, Leon said with a grim expression:
"Although the aura on him should be similar, compared to blending in a single demonic abnormality, integrating a living big demon is less likely to give us away. Hence, I just revived it; next, I'm planning to use its identity to infiltrate the abyss."
"I see..."
After hearing Leon's explanation, the Taurus director scrutinized the knockoff version of Leon and frowned as he advised:
"But he looks too much like you, doesn't he? Your statue is everywhere in the abyss; at least one-third of the demons know your face. Even with the pseudophantasmic powers, it might not fool the original sin demon gods. Are you sure you won't be discovered?"
"No, I won't."
Upon hearing this, Leon shook his head, then lightly placed a hand on the shoulder of the black goat, activating the creation effect of the [Lord of Demons].
Following his gesture, the knockoff Leon, clad in scale armor, suddenly expanded in the wind, instantly breaking the three-ter threshold. The human-like form and visage transford drastically, with elongated limbs, protruding bones, rough reddish skin, and knotted muscles... no trace of the original image remained.
"These aren't illusions; they're completely real."
Leon explained after patting the side of the black goat's thigh, indicating they were genuine and wouldn't be seen through:
"I can alter the appearance of any demon I touch at will, just by making slight modifications."
"Well, that's good."
Seeing that Leon was confident, the Taurus director nodded slightly. However, thinking about Leon soon infiltrating the abyss alone to ambush the seven original sin demon gods one by one, their heart suddenly felt uneasy.
Just as she was about to advise a bit more and ask if Leon was prepared, the giant compass suddenly twitched violently. The brilliant star points suspended above the compass dispersed abruptly, revealing a fist-sized funnel-shaped cluster.
"It's about ready."
After rubbing his hands over the compass's surface and enlarging the layered black star cluster to the size of a round table, the Cancer director on the other side of the compass raised his head and said:
"The astral realm's conditions are basically stable; the star gate to the abyss can be opened anyti... Which prison do you plan to access first?"
"Let ! Let ! I'm familiar with this!"
Upon seeing their nostalgic (not really) hotown erge from the compass Cancer director held, the black goat stepped forward excitedly, cradling the black funnel-shaped cluster and searching, then...
"Um..."
Under everyone's puzzled gazes, the excitent on the black goat's face suddenly faded; they turned around, sowhat embarrassed, to ask.
"What are these... where are they?"
"..."
"I'm not unfamiliar with the places; it's mainly that I haven't used your contraption before..."
Seeing Leon's disdainful expression behind him, the black goat blushed slightly and stuttered as they explained:
"In the past, I always viewed it from the inside, never from the outside of the abyss. Your perspective differs from mine... Oh, I understand now!"
By mimicking Cancer director's operation, rubbing twice on the compass's scale, the black goat successfully grasped the trick: expanding the funnel-shaped layer upon layer of the hundred-level abyss silhouette, and grouped over a hundred black star points into seven different sub-dinsional routes following seven different downward paths.
Apparently, those seven black star points at the bottom should be the seven original sin demon gods' territories.
After examining the star points the black goat had organized, Leon squinted slightly.
With his current level, even if on the demons' ho turf in the abyss, he should be able to single-handedly combat one original sin demon god. If he could get close enough, he could end the battle instantly.
But if the number of original sin demon gods is more than one, it would be much harder to handle... although his hand covered with the source's color can easily seize or even destroy the powers of a true god, challenging a hundred wouldn't be an issue.
However, the pillar gods' grasp of the world's principles is higher than powers; his current Contamination Value hasn't reached 70 points. He could at most withstand the entanglent of the world's principles and not forcibly rupture them. Facing two original sin demon gods simultaneously may not withstand their attacks.
So they still must break them one by one!
"Hmm..."
Just as Leon pondered which original sin demon god to target first, the black goat, having adjusted the compass, turned around again and asked confusedly:
"Where is Azgrat?"
Azgrat?
Upon hearing this, Leon furrowed his brow and asked in return:
"What place is that? Is there a layer like that in the Abyss Hundred Prisons?"
"Of course, there is! I ca from there."
With a puzzled expression, the black goat answered:
"Azgrat is a layer of hell under the Lust Demon God, growing on the nodeburl of the decadent tree roots. It's the Lust Demon God's favorite palace, filled with seductive demons large in size and skin drum, such a famous place... Oh, right!"
When they got to this point, as if suddenly rembering sothing, the black goat explained:
"Azgrat is what we demons call it; you humans ought to call it... um... Evil Desire Nest? Antoran Hell? Or perhaps... Decadent Tree Garden?"
"..."
"If you an to say that place is called the Evil Desire Nest, then I do know so things."
Taking the control rights of the compass, twisting several scales back and forth, Cancer director pointed at a waning little star point at the end of the "Lust Line" and said:
"That should be the Azgrat you're talking about... about five or six years ago, the Lazy Demon God's Ashen Prison overlapped with your hotown for a while. By the ti the Lust Demon God reacted, the Lazy Demon God's coffin had been lying inside for over four months.
During those four months, almost all demons from your hotown either fled or were covered by the laziness of the Lazy Demon God over their lust, becoming living zombies who were too lazy to express their desires and died clean. Before a new demon tribe moved in, only ruins should have remained."
"..."
"What???"
