Chương 1096: Beauty Of Hell In All Its Miserable Glory

Virgil turned his gaze to the Hell beast that had followed Athena, its loyalty evident as it remained close by her side. He shook his head slightly, a hint of regret in his eyes. "It's a pity," he began, "but you won't be able to bring your army of Hell beasts with you."

Athena frowned, her eyes narrowing. "Why not?"

Virgil sighed, his tone turning more somber. "Each part of Hell is a combined whole, yet still an individual place. Even if one side gets destroyed, it won't affect the other sides. These Hell beasts are needed to maintain the ecosystem of this layer of Hell. Without them, this part of Hell would descend into chaos far beyond its usual state. Balance must be preserved."

He paused, letting the weight of his words sink in before continuing, "I'll show you a way to jump to the third layer of Hell, where Hell's Mother is imprisoned. But it means leaving your army behind."
