Chapter 186 Soul Train

If passing through the inner plane is like folding a piece of paper directly through the holes in it, then this kind of ultra-long-distance teleportation to the outer plane is like passing all their dragons like dirty clothes and smelly socks. thrown into the drum washing machine together.

At first, there was colorful black in front of my eyes. Later, the entire field of vision turned into distorted blocks of color that shot towards the back quickly, until the world was dizzying, uncomfortable, and extremely long.

So much so that David's dormant instinct popped up together with "Sloth" more than once, and was suppressed by him forcefully.

Losing consciousness during ultra-long-distance teleportation is a very dangerous act in itself. It is not that you are afraid that your body will be thrown to a remote corner of the multiverse when you wake up, but it is said that dreams can easily be linked to the multiverse in this chaotic void voyage. Going to the void outside, the consciousness is separated from the body, which can easily lead to the body reaching the station and the soul drifting to nowhere. Then it will really become a plant dragon with the wind, or the kind that comes in batches.

At this close range, no one can resist his [Sloth] technique.

Fortunately, the feeling that the prostate was about to be thrown out of the cloaca finally stopped suddenly when I saw a hazy blood-red color in front of my eyes, and then I heard a sharp voice that seemed to be coming from:

"MDCLXXXVII There are eleven visitors to the material plane, eight giant dragons, two humanoid creatures, and dragon-born desire demons! Miss Yolanda, you are back soon."

A devil who was taking notes as a routine matter immediately licked his face like a servant and said flatteringly.

This devil is less than one meter tall, with red-black skin, a thin body, sharp claws and a tail covered with sharp thorns, a face like a mixture of a bat and a sheep, and pointed ears and eyes.

Yolanda, who seemed to notice the confusion in David's eyes, threw a copper coin towards him and explained softly:

"This is a little devil, but even though it is called a little devil, it is still considered a mid-level devil. Compared with the lemures that have just been hatched from the drained soul shell, their situation is still much higher. Logically speaking, the portal here is The reception work should have been taken care of by at least devils of Anzu Demon and above, but since the God of War started wars in many planes, the number of dead souls floating down the River Styx has increased significantly in recent years, and most of them have The Anzu Demon, our Desire Demon, and the Harvest Demon were all temporarily dispatched to the Place of Torment to deal with the massive soul shells. Although the Steel Demon and the Chain Demon were the backbone of the bloody battle at the bottom, they were still a little behind on IQ, so they were temporarily A lot of little devils like him have been recruited."

When David heard Yolanda's explanation, he nodded thoughtfully. Artilicia, who was dizzy as she staggered out of the portal, vomited all over the floor.

Theoretically, the little devil should have a certain resistance to the stomach acid and even the flame magic radiation of the 'Red Dragon', but this little devil screamed like it had stepped on a puddle of concentrated sulfuric acid:

"out of order"

The piercing screams of the air defense siren immediately attracted the attention of a large number of steel demons and chain demons who were responsible for guarding the surrounding area. They all lined up and surrounded them with demon-breaking spears. There was also a job manager who was obviously higher than these demons. The demon of desire flapping its wings.

"What's going on?" The lust demon frowned and looked very unhappy, as if the chaos caused by David's group had added extra burden to the already heavy work.

The little devil immediately shrank his head and looked at Yolanda, who had the highest status.

Yolanda and David, who had dangerously narrowed eyes, looked at each other and signaled the truly chaotic red dragon to calm down. She immediately explained to the demon who came to question him:

"Sorry, we are the five-color dragons who responded to the war call of Lord Efilomon, the vassal of the Five-Color Dragon Queen. It's just that we seemed to have forgotten to equip my red dragon companion with the defense camp detection spell before setting off, which caused a commotion. Please forgive me. .”

As he shook hands with the other party, he handed over a gold coin. Then the other party looked better. He took out a code that could kill the devil from his waist and pretended to read it. Then he used his long scarlet nails to touch one of the books. Delineate:

"All the five-color dragons and their dragon-born vassals who respond to the call of the five-color dragon queen do have certain diplomatic immunity. According to the regulations, I can let you pass, but"

As he spoke, the desire demon pointed in the direction where the sky became darker and more chaotic and said:

"But because of the Five-Colored Dragon Queen, Baator Hell has opened a second battlefield. In order to prevent you disordered ones from causing greater commotion, you can only choose to walk on your own, or take a soul truck to the Maggot Lair."

Yolanda made eye contact with David, nodded and said:

"no problem."

The desire demon then recorded something with a serious face, and handed them eleven plaques that seemed to be made of skulls with numbers engraved on them, and handed them to Yolanda:

"You are lucky. A soul train originating from the Land of Torment is about to arrive. You can get on the train with your dominoes."

It wasn't until their group of dragons walked out of the Bator-style entry point, and Yolanda handed Artilicia a talisman against camp detection, that all the dragons, including David, looked at the somewhat embarrassed Dragon Father. Tilicia, David was even more inexplicably curious:

"Dad, when did you deflect to the chaotic camp?"

Just as the Abyss is a place of pure chaos, Baator Hell is a place of absolute order.

Therefore, before David and the others set out, Yolanda deliberately applied [anti-camp detection] patches on the red, white, and black dragons of David, Lizlett, and Mephile.

It's not that devils are all blind and fools. Even a fool knows that most of these five-color dragons are born with chaos. But just like 'what horses see is determined by people', what devils see is determined by them. It's decided by superiors and money.

They will predict your danger in advance. As long as you don't have problems during his duty, you will not be able to find him if you are in trouble.

This is what an absolutely lawful world is, and it will not bring absolute justice.

On the contrary, it will only breed unprecedented corruption and naked bureaucracy.

But what David didn't expect was that his father was also a chaotic guy.

But when I think of his usual unpredictable bottom line and behavior, it seems that it is indeed the case!

"I don't know either." Artilicia said with an innocent face, but her heart was also full of hesitation.

Is it precisely for this reason that Tyr, the god of justice, has never responded to his conversion for so many years?

Anyway, this minor trouble is over.

I just waited for a long time at the station where many dragons gathered at this entry point. Finally, I waited for a 'Hell Machine' coming with stinking black smoke. Then I waited on both sides of the carriage like the Asans, and was overtaken. The confused mind from the portal seemed to have finally come online:

"Why don't we fly directly to Evil Scale Fortress?" They are all dragons.

This Soul Train is otherwise okay, but it's too smelly and noisy.

The carriages were filled with soul shells that had been drained of the 'sacred energy' and human remnants by a group of demons in the place of torture. Their twisted faces were struggling and wailing all the time, and from time to time they screamed the loudest and most unpleasantly. Or the best thing is that the barb demons will stab their bodies with the barbs in their hands and throw them into the soul furnace of the front locomotive to use as fuel for this soul train.

In terms of environment, Blue Star's green leather car is ten thousand times better than it. The only advantage may be that it is slightly faster. It can reach a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, which is already the flying level of most young dragons.

Yolanda pointed to the sky, which seemed to be dark and red forever.

When David and the others looked up, they saw that the fiery red sky was like a huge furnace. From time to time, fireballs like ball lightning or huge meteorites streaked across the sky, crashing down on the wasteland covered with Gobi, and were blown up. The open rock formations are exposed, and you can see the charred cracks exposed in the layers of skeletons, and the putrid black smoke is floating.

This is the eternal hellscape of Avernus, the portal to the hell of Baator, the burial place of the eternal bloody battle between devils and demons.

"Did you see those falling fireballs?"

"ah?"

David suddenly thought of a possibility:

"Can it still aim automatically?"

Wouldn't that make it a near-ground air defense fort? Unbelievable.

Yolanda talked in detail:

"Legend has it that when our Lord Asmodeus, the Lord of the Nine Hells, was banished to the throne by the Dawn Gods, the blood splashed gave birth to the current devils, and the anger that could never end turned into These endless hellfires are like falling stars. Regardless of whether this legend is true or false, it will indeed be automatically drawn by the 'disordered ones'. Therefore, whenever the abyss demons attack Avernus in a large scale, it will also be these hellfire meteors. When it falls at its most majestic and brilliant, strictly speaking, it is the true first line of defense of Baator Hell."

He immediately looked at David, then at the other followers who were almost delirious from this bumpy and bad journey, and continued:

"This kind of hellfire may not have any impact on you, Your Highness, but your subordinates may not be able to withstand it."

David immediately smacked his lips and said nothing.

Yolanda looked up to him a little. These fireballs were big and small, and they looked like falling meteors. Even if he, as a red dragon, was immune to fire, he would not be able to resist the physical damage for many times.

But soon the eyes of the dragons were attracted by the magnificent scenery in the distance that looked like an endless black sea.

This time Yolanda was silent.

Because anyone who sees its existence for the first time will understand clearly what is in front of them.

"It's the River Styx. It's so beautiful." Tanya's eyes seemed to have little stars blooming.

The River Styx is like an invisible snake, and it can be found in many material planes and even outer planes of the multiverse.

However, it is invisible when in the material interface, carrying the lost souls of the material world, rushing towards the filthy lower waves, revealing its prototype in the Baator Hell and the Bottomless Abyss at the bottom of this lower plane.

But after seeing its truth, there is no longer the beauty hidden behind the mysterious veil.

Looking down from the soul train they were on, one could see the star-studded soul shell ships floating on it, and countless Barb Demons were like fishermen, salvaging the soul shells from the River Styx.

Soul shells are not disembodied smoke. On the contrary, they are creatures of flesh and blood, close to what they were in life, but covered with filth, and the diseases and trauma they suffered at the last moment of their lives still remain on their bodies.

They will be transported to the place of torture in fully loaded hull ships. Demonic bureaucrats called anzu will read the mark of each soul and then record the name of the demon responsible for harvesting it in a heavy ledger. What awaits them in the terrifying room will be all kinds of torture.

After the last remnants of human nature were violently torn away from the body of the soul shell, this trembling and completely distorted empty shell is what you see on the train at this moment. It is beyond recognition. They will be sent to the terminal of the train. Ah The great pit of Furnas, the den of maggots.

There they will rapidly decay and be reborn as lemures, the lowest of all demonic forms.

There was no mind at all, trembling and twisting, enduring severe physical pain forever.

Showing that they are different from their stupid companions and getting promoted will be their only hope and way to live a miserable life.

It is worth mentioning that the current Grand Duke of Avernus and the ruler of the Bronze Fortress, Bayer, was promoted step by step from such a little evil devil who was not even cannon fodder.

Because of this, Bayer, who was born in a humble way, has always been despised by other princes and even devils.

While David's family was listening to the Bato Hell tour guide Yolanda introducing the rumors of hell and some basic rules with a curious attitude, Tanya, who had been looking around all the time, suddenly pointed to the front and said:

"There seems to be a meteor shower ahead."

"Huh? Meteor and fire shower? Is there a war ahead?" David was a little confused.

As an outsider, David only felt that he was unlucky. He heard that the entire Avernus was part of the bloody battlefield, and the rhythm of the entire Avernus seemed to be always preparing for war, but he did not expect that he would have it. You can actually hit it in one day.

Yolanda was horrified:

"How is this possible? This is the hinterland of Avernus. How could the bloody battle front reach here?"

"Is it strange?" David asked.

Yolanda's face was as dark as water: "Since Archduke Bayer took office, the bloody defense line has always been maintained near the Bronze Fortress. This place has not fallen for thousands of years."

conspiracy? The enemy's plan? then what?

For a moment, the mind of this dragon-born lust demon from a privileged background was filled with possible situations and possible solutions to the situation.

Slowly, his mind almost went blank. Once he broke into a bloody battlefield, Legend might not be able to protect himself.

what to do! ?

"Ah!!!" Yolanda was suddenly awakened by the scream of the Barb Demon.

I saw David curling up his tail and throwing the devil driving the Soul Train straight down.

"What are you doing?" Yolanda was already dumbfounded. It was already at this point. What was the purpose of throwing the train driver away?

"Since we can't avoid it and it's hard to fly away, then..."

"Just hit it!"

As he spoke, David, who grinned ferociously, stepped heavily on the carriage link, and all the carriages except the first carriage flew into the sky.

David took the fallen piece and carried it on his shoulder, pouring the entire soul shell into the soul furnace.

Then he opened his huge abyss-like mouth and drank in one gulp the shells of souls that had fallen from the sky and had been squeezed out of their human nature.

[Power - Gluttony]

The next moment, Soul Train was like a Taliban truck that was completely out of control.

Rushed into this bloody battlefield deep in the hinterland of Avernus.
