The Bottomless Abyss.
It was the true embodiment of the Law of Chaos. It was a place where anything could happen because it was too chaotic.
Benevolent demons, Lords of Order, Holy Samurai from Hell, Children of Hell in search of salvation, and so on had appeared here before. Almost everything that could possibly happen had happened here before, because the truest truth of Chaos was that anything was possible. However, as the embodiment of the Law of Chaos, the Bottomless Abyss belonged to [Chaotic Evil]. Anyone from the Order Faction who came into contact with a demon would have their Charisma reduced by 2 points. If they were from the Good Faction, they would have another 2 points of Charisma reduced.
This was the law of the Abyss.
The Bottomless Abyss would not directly suppress your strength, but it would make you 'enemies on all sides'! (Note: The Charisma reduction was only on the surface. More adventurers found that there was an additional Friendliness reduction.)
Søren was from the Lawful Evil Faction.
So if he appeared in the Bottomless Abyss, all demons who saw him or heard of him would have a 2 points of Charisma reduction due to the law of the Abyss. Simply put, 'Why do I feel so annoyed when I see this guy? I really want to fight with him.'
If someone from the Good Faction appeared in the Bottomless Abyss, they should prepare to fight all the way.
Because all demons would treat you as a mortal enemy!
…
No one knew how many levels there were in the Bottomless Abyss.
Chaos was infinite. As long as one's strength reached a certain level, one could even create a half-plane. The difference between a half-plane and the first level of the Bottomless Abyss was not as big as one would think. Because of the gap between the planes, no one had really explored the deepest part of the Bottomless Abyss. But currently, people knew that there were more than 800 planes of the Abyss!
Even.
Even the Baator Inferno used to be a part of the Bottomless Abyss.
Because in a very long time ago, the Lord of the Nine Hells, Asmodeus, used his powerful divine power to cut the Bottomless Abyss. He forcefully cut out nine planes of the Bottomless Abyss and transformed them into the Baator Inferno of today. The power of this Lord of the Devils was unfathomable. He even changed the laws of these planes and recast them into the Baator Inferno of today. It was the paradise of the Evil Faction.
The predecessor of the Abyss Blood War was the war between the Order Gods and the Origin of Chaos!
The fall of Asmodeus and the replacement of the demons of Orbis by the demons of Tanar 'ri led to the end of this ancient war and thus turned into the current [Abyss Blood War], an endless war between the demons of [Order Evil] and the demons of [Chaos Evil]!
The main battlefield of the Abyss Bloody War was on the first level.
Sometimes it was on the first level of the Bottomless Abyss, and sometimes it was on the first level of the Baator Inferno.
The exact location would depend on how both sides were fighting, whether the Devil Legion was large enough, and whether the Devil Legion had truly sent out their elite troops!
Because if the two sides really fought, it would be a terrifying planar war.
The bloody war in the Abyss had never truly stopped!
…
The first layer of the Bottomless Abyss, the Ten Thousand Abyss Plain.
In the whistling wind, a figure covered in a cloak appeared here. He seemed to have come here from another plane and disappeared as soon as he arrived.
A row of data appeared in front of Søren's eyes:
"Interplanar teleportation complete! … "
"Enter the bottomless abyss! Interdimensional travel was completed! You've obtained a small amount of [Planar Traveler] information! … "
"The data is automatically operating! … "
"Beginning to calculate the characteristics of the current plane! … "
…
A stream of data appeared in front of Søren's eyes, and then the information of the first level of the Abyss appeared in front of him.
"The first level of the Abyss, [Ten Thousand Abyss Plain]:
Normal Gravity: The highest level of the Abyss, the Ten Thousand Abyss Plain, and many other levels have normal gravity characteristics, but some other levels of the Abyss may include a variety of possible different gravity characteristics.
Normal Time: The speed of time passing in the Abyss is the same as in the material world. However, rumors have always claimed that there is a level where time passes in reverse due to relative aging. Although the reverse flow of time is very strange, but a visitor may rejuvenate or even turn into nothingness. [Remark: It is said that traces of the Time Dragon have appeared.]
Infinite Space: The number of levels of the Abyss is always infinite, although its well-known kingdom is limited.
Divine Form: The physical body must be at least as powerful as a low-grade God to change the characteristics of the Abyss. Weaker creatures will find that the Abyss is no different from the material world (changeable characteristics). This is because the plane can be changed by magic and physical effects. [Remark: It is as difficult to interfere with the laws of the Abyss as it is in the material world.]
Mixed Elemental and Energy Characteristics: This characteristic is different from level to level. From the perspective of the Abyss as a whole, no single Elemental or Energy can continue to dominate, although there may be a dominant Elemental or Energy in certain levels, or two or more Mixed Characteristics.
Weak Chaotic Tendencies and Weak Evil Tendencies: Lawful Characters will suffer a penalty of -2 on all Charity-Based checks in the Abyss. Good Characters will suffer the same penalty. Lawful Characters will suffer a penalty of -4 on all Charity-Based checks.]
…
The characteristics of the Abyss appeared in front of Søren's eyes.
In a place like the Abyss, it would be helpful to understand the characteristics of the plane first, because sometimes the difference in gravity could catch you off guard!
Sand and wind filled the sky.
Not far from where Søren appeared, there was a tattered and weathered notice board with the following words written on it:
"This is an endless and suffocating place of horror.
This is a place of extremely harsh environment and life is extremely dangerous.
This is a place of endless killing without morals or ethics.
… "
The words at the back had already disappeared.
After a long time, this was the only thing that was left behind. Every adventurer who entered the Abyss through the teleportation portal could see it.
Søren turned around and left.
His destination was in another direction, where he had buried a chess piece in the Bottomless Abyss.
— [Abyss Blood Pool].
This was a gloomy, terrifying, and bloody place. Even the ground here was strangely dark red. Visible to the naked eye, there were large and small insects everywhere. These insects looked very ferocious, and their terrifying numbers made one's scalp tingle.
The endless slaughter began the moment it was born!
The Abyssal Worm was the most basic structure of the Bottomless Abyss. Many souls from the multiverse descended into the Bottomless Abyss. Unless they were picked by some powerful demons, they could only reincarnate in this plane through the Abyssal Blood Pool. The Abyss Worm was their most basic form. They were the weakest creatures, and they needed to kill each other to evolve into a real demon.
There were many souls in this world.
However, high-quality souls were always scarce because the gods, demons, and devils were fighting for them.
Now, even the chaotic demons knew that they had to snatch the best souls first, which could greatly enhance their strength! Basically, the souls that were transformed through the [Abyss Blood Pool] were not very good demon cannon fodder.
The soul of a class, and the soul of an ordinary person.
The soul of a human, and the soul of a kobold.
The soul of a goblin, and the soul of a beast.
The quality of these souls was not equal. The soul of an ordinary person was enough to attract the attention of devils, but the soul of a goblin or kobold might be disregarded by low-level devils. This was because humans needed a long time to grow, but goblins and kobolds could give birth to a large nest in one spring.
Not many people were interested in these low-quality souls!
Some directly flowed into the 'Unknown Lands' along the River Styx, and some were attracted by the Abyss Blood Pool and reincarnated into the lowest level of Abyss Worms.
This was the source of the huge army of cannon fodder in the Abyss!
This was also the first step of Søren's next plan, because he had to find a way to eliminate some of the rejection of the Law of the Abyss. These Abyss Worms that were reincarnated as the foundation of the Abyss would be Søren's first experiment.
