From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 390

c380 Spiritual thinness, “eternal life”, “fall”

Looking at the abyss emitting a strange light, one knew that it was the entrance to the lower hell and even the core of hell.

After a group of Dark Angels protected Serin, who seemed to have no fighting ability, they began to observe Limbo, the first level of hell where they were.

“.”

Galan, who was standing at the front of the formation, used the auxiliary vision of his helmet to watch the “people” living here.

Most of the “people” living here have dull eyes and stiff bodies. Some are wearing medieval costumes, while others are equipped with personal equipment close to modern times.

But the architectural style of the towns, villages and fortresses leans towards the Middle Ages.

According to the results of screen scanning 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: Hell Chapter”, understands that the souls lingering in Lingbo are mostly “pagans” who believe in other religions, or simply do not believe in religion.

Some people who died before the birth of Jesus were forced to linger here forever because they could not judge their faith.

Although they do not need to endure torture and torture, “they” cannot leave Lingbo, let alone go to heaven, or be reincarnated.

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

The company guards who had previously threatened Charon suddenly became extremely angry when they realized that most of the souls stranded here were unable to live in peace forever because they “do not believe in God” or “do not believe in any religion”.

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

Besides!

Shouldn’t hell and heaven be tit-for-tat and “good and dead will never come to each other”?

Why are people who don’t believe in God and Jesus imprisoned in the first level of hell?

“The Divine Comedy: Inferno” is, after all, a literary work of the main universe, but the scene in front of me confirms that there is an inexplicable “cooperative” relationship between heaven and hell.

Due to the “immortality”, the soul trapped in Lingbo gradually loses itself, so it becomes sluggish 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 either maintain the discipline and organization of their lives and fight in the form of an army, or they act like lunatics without any sense and kill “people” on sight.

In short, after the death of people living in the “One Three” universe, if they have doubts and conflicts with God and heaven during their lifetime, they are destined to be sent to Limbo and endure the endless suffering of eternal life.

Thinking about it from another angle, the church of the “One Three” universe allows people to believe in, fear God and heaven, which is actually a more “correct” move.

For example, if he wanted to take his son and daughter to escape from the frontier town, he could live with some dignity. Christopher Lorraine, who lived like a human being, although he did not commit any wrongdoing during his lifetime and prayed on time and on time, had great consequences after his death. Probability will come to Limbo.

Let’s look at it from a deeper perspective.

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

Whether you believe in God or worship the devil, there is no loss in heaven or hell.

As for those who don’t believe in either side, they will be gradually “culled”.

If things go on for a long time, the earth and human beings in the “One Three” universe will completely become the “chessboard and rations” of heaven and hell.

This is also why the company guard who threatened Charon would tear off his “civilized man” face and curse.

The intentions of Heaven and Hell are really disgusting.

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

Jialan, who was still in an angry mood, saw that the land under his feet began to be rapidly purified and assimilated under the influence of the Flower of Purity, and he suddenly said in confusion:

“Ms. Serling, how many flowers did you bring?”

“not much.”

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

“But it is enough to completely assimilate the plane of hell into His Majesty the Emperor’s private domain within sixty Earth days.”

“.”

Galan, Aldaimo and all the company guards fell silent.

Serin didn’t notice anything was wrong with the atmosphere around her. Moreover, at this stage, she couldn’t have the so-called “sixth sense” to sense the atmosphere like humans.

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

“Of course, the premise is that there is no one powerful enough to rival His Majesty the Emperor in the hell plane of Universe One and Three.

Otherwise, the flowers of purity will not be able to reproduce and purify unhindered. ”

Seeing that Serin had started to take action, Jialan and others also came to their senses and headed towards the abyss leading to the depths of hell.

At first, they thought that smart AI was a burden and would hold them back in times of crisis.

But how could they have imagined that Serin had prepared enough flowers of purity in advance?

In other words, before boarding the Thunder Transport Ship, Serin had already expected, or guessed, that they would choose to raid the Gate of Hell with a small number of elites for the sake of the honor of the legion and to seize the top spot, so she had prepared enough in advance. The flower of purity.

Sure enough, “counselors” are often more useful than these reckless men.

Not long ago, Galan was still influenced by the Primarch Leon and was quite resistant to intelligent artificial intelligence. He always felt that they would be like Skynet in the Terminator universe, and could start a rebellion in the Crisis Empire at any time.

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

Now?

Galan was ready to rely on his achievements in solving the Lord of Hell to apply to the Empire for a new model of intelligent AI to help develop their 1st Company of Dark Angels.

After quickly sorting out his emotions, Galan asked Serin beside him while being alert to the movements around him:

“Ms. Serin, if the Pure Flower assimilates the Hell plane and transforms it into the private domain of His Majesty the Emperor, then where will these souls trapped in the spirit go?”

“I don’t know either.” Serin shook her head slightly.

Although she was made from Alexia’s living cloned brain, she was not the real Alexia.

So she didn’t know Sui Yang’s psychic ability, and she had no idea that the power of faith would also enhance Sui Yang’s psychic capacity.

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

“According to your majesty’s previous strength, these souls will most likely become your majesty’s personal “items”, so your majesty can arrange the fate of these souls based on his thoughts and ideas.

Either reincarnate and become a physical creature in the first and third universes, or become a ghost army without a physical body.”

“Yes, indeed.”

Galan nodded lightly.

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 them with the breath of living people.

But the confused and dazed souls just thought that “another group of poor bugs who made a pilgrimage to the devil have come”, so they would still be dazed by themselves.

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

It cannot be said that there are tens of millions or millions of dark pilgrims who have successfully passed through the gates of hell and crossed the river of sorrow, but there are still hundreds of thousands.

Among them, there are many knights and nuns with strong individual strength.

They have been angry and jealous of living people, and attacked those knights and nuns.

But the final result is a bit tragic.

Over time, they have become accustomed to the “life” of being visited by living people from time to time.

Only a very small number of souls who still maintain their sanity found that the living people in front of them seem to be obviously 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 spirit book 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 who still maintain their sanity, there are historical great men or fictitious heroes who exist in the main universe.

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

There are also Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, etc., who are called the three wise men 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 really suffered “unwarranted disasters”.

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

Galan, Celine and others had also discovered those souls who remained rational, hiding in the dark and following them.

However, if the other party did not show obvious intentions to attack, they would choose to ignore it and continue to sneak towards the location of the abyss.

Afterwards.

The closer they got to the abyss, the more souls lost their rationality and fell into anger.

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

However, when the bursts of bolt guns resounded throughout the entire spirit plane, and the angry souls witnessed the high-explosive bolts easily shattering their companions, they regained consciousness and kept as far away from Galan, Serin and others as possible.

The killing effect of high-explosive bolts on hell creatures is slightly lower, but that is only for threatening creatures.

For example, the greedy mother wolf, the ambitious lion and the hedonistic leopard can rely on the advantage of not having a physical body to withstand the attack of high-explosive bolts.

The consequences of the angry souls, whose individual strength is no different from that of ordinary people, being hit by a high-explosive bolt are relatively consistent with their life, that is, being blown into slag.

Of course, it won’t take long for those souls that have been blown into slag to be “reborn”.

It’s just that they can also experience the pain of their life, so after suffering a round of bursts from the company guards, the angry souls are no longer angry.

After Galan and the others were far away from this place, they continued to be “angry” and continued to kill each other.

Not long after.

Galan and the others came to the edge of the abyss.

Looking down, you can find that the abyss is “spiraling” downward and connected to the deeper levels of hell.

As the level is deeper, the abyss will be narrower.

Serin used her electronic eyes to visually estimate that the diameter of the abyss entrance at the first level, Lingbo, is about nine kilometers.

The diameter of the second level of hell below, that is, “lust”, is eight kilometers.

The third layer of hell, “Gluttony”, is seven kilometers, and so on, until the ninth layer of hell, “Betrayal”, which is only one kilometer left.

And Galan also looked towards the core of hell with the help of the auxiliary vision of the helmet.

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, and 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 system are 18 hours.

But Ms. Serin, we can’t be sure how long the one or three earths of the physical universe have passed.”

“I can’t give you a definite answer.” Serin shook her head again:

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

After we came here, the one or three earths of the physical universe may have passed three minutes, or three hours.”

Three hours? !

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

Boom. Boom——! ! !

Just as Galan, Aldemo, and the company guards had a “sense of crisis”, there was a “shaking” at the entrance of the spirit sheet.

The entire spirit sheet became unstable due to this “shaking”.

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

They either hid in the buildings or crowded in the alleys, making the streets look empty.

And the “culprit” who could cause this commotion, Galan and others first thought of the goddess of war, Athena, who could transform into a colossus.

! ! !

“Brothers, it’s too late to break through every layer of hell! Jump to the core of hell and head straight for the Lord of Hell!”

After Galan finished speaking, he suddenly charged forward and jumped up, causing himself to fall freely towards the ninth layer 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!!”

Aldemo and a group of company guards shouted excitedly for the first time since entering the hell plane, and “free fell” towards the core of hell one after another.

“No matter how mature you pretend to be, you are just a group of children in their twenties.”

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