Chapter 440: Chapter 118 A Small 'Sacrifice

```

Seated on the floating island in the courtyard, Laine and Asmodeus faced each other.

For them, everything outside of Hell was clearly visible, including Moya's piercing screams. However, the reverse was not true; the Mother of Demons could not see what was happening inside the Nine Hells.

This was not due to a power disparity between the two sides; in reality, the Abyss held the true advantage in terms of power. The fundamental reason was that Tartarus lacked its own subjective consciousness.

It didn't know to block prying eyes, so in Hell, beings with divine power could see everything outside without hindrance. And since Tartarus couldn't do two things at the same time, even as it was nurturing the Mother of Demons and the six Demon Gods, it remained oblivious to the 'thief' who had entered its body unannounced.
