The sixth layer of the Baator Inferno.
This plane was an endless rocky slope. Waterfalls formed by rocks were very common here. They would crush anything in their path. The sky was boiling like scales. The devils of this layer were protected by red copper fortresses, which were designed to divert and deflect the frequent rock flows. However, nothing could stop the worst of the landslides, so the characteristics of this plane were slowly changing. Unless Asmodeus took action, it would take thousands of years.
Abyssal Fiend Floss's figure appeared in this layer.
There were many terrible environments in the Baator Inferno, but Floss had long since gotten used to them.
As a greater devil, Abyssal Fiends (or Pit Fiends) could adapt to most environments. Floss had been a Pit Fiend for quite some time now, and had been to most of the layers of the Baator Inferno. However, his activities were mainly in the first and second layers of the Baator Inferno. These two layers had more opportunities, while the lower layers of the Baator Inferno lacked enough opportunities to advance. He had come here to complete an important task given to him by Søren. Although he was unwilling to deal with the person he was about to meet, it was no longer up to him to decide.
The original lord of the sixth layer of the Baator Inferno was an old hag.
The Hag Countess wasn't a greater devil, but an extremely powerful night hag from the underworld. The former Devil Lord Moloch had once ruled this layer, but he was later overthrown. During a great rebellion that swept through the Nine Hells, he openly defied the Lord of Hell, Smodeus. Most authorities agreed that this hag, one of Moloch's most trusted advisors, was the one who suggested Moloch's rebellion. Of course, the rebellion failed, and the hag was placed in Moloch's position.
However, it was difficult for a hag that wasn't of the Lawful Evil faction to hold a high position in the Baator Inferno for long.
Unsurprisingly, the Hag Countess eventually met her end. The new lord of the sixth layer of the Baator Inferno was Queen Yumo Glasya.
She was the daughter of the Lord of Hell, Asmodeus.
The princess of hell had already become a greater devil. Her mother had died in the last rebellion, and she hated the Devil Lord of the fifth layer, Levistus. He'd been sealed in ice by Asmodeus for thousands of years.
Before becoming the overlord of the 6th Hell, Queen Yumo Glasya had travelled the Prime Material Plane and gained a few followers. Most of Glasya's followers were inexperienced, young, and naive humans. Glasya recruited youths brimming with vitality and made them willingly accept certain taboo experiments.
The Principality of Rossard must be mentioned here.
The Queen Yumo's shadow had always been behind the rapid rise of Søren's rival, the Duke Of Red Dragon. A Warlock's bloodline required certain taboo conditions to maintain. Søren had enough reason to suspect that it was the Queen Yumo Glasya's help that allowed the Duke Of Red Dragon's wife to possess her current strength.
Moreover, the Queen Yumo had been searching for humans in the Prime Material Plane for a long time to conduct experiments.
The Duke Of Red Dragon was likely to be one of the successful experiments!
… … …
In this plane ruled by the daughter of the Lord of Baator, Asmodeus, the pit fiend Floss kept a low profile. After advancing for half a day, he arrived in the vicinity of a special red fortress in the sixth plane.
This was a fortress with red copper on the outside.
As a greater devil, Floss easily passed through the guards and obtained the right to meet the master of the fortress.
The Soul Stealer, Nigras!
Floss passed through a passage filled with the smell of metal. The walls around him were filled with corpses that had been turned into specimens. There were devils, demons, and even demons. Most of the powerful creatures in the lower planes had their corpses left behind as specimens in this passage. All of this represented the strength of the master of this fortress, and all the guests who came here for the first time felt a trace of reverence.
"I heard you want to discuss a big deal with me?"
When Floss entered a vast dark red hall, a devil sitting on a chair made from the skin of a hellhound turned around. He looked a little like a grey-skinned human, but was different from the other devils. This was a greater devil that had constructed his own form and appearance. He looked like a human with a single horn, grey skin, and scarlet pupils.
"Yes," Floss tried his best to keep his voice calm.
The greater devil in front of him was the legendary Soul Stealer, Nigras of the Baator Inferno!
Just like there were many unknown top legendary figures in the gray area of the material plane, there were also some devils in the Baator Inferno who were very powerful, but their reputation was far less than the other Archdevils and the Devil Generals among the devils. However, as long as one came into contact with the higher-ups in the lower planes, they would know that there was a group of very special existences in the lower planes.
That was the Soul Stealer!
The Soul Stealer was a title, and it was a taboo title in the lower planes. If one was not a greater devil, a demon, or a demon, one would not know about the existence of these monsters.
They were thieves, thieves, and robbers! They were also the most dangerous group of people in the lower planes!
Because the origin of the title Soul Stealer came from this group of people who often sneaked into the underworld or places close to the underworld, and then stole high-quality souls from the servants of death from other planes.
This was a well-known point!
On the sixth floor of the Baator Inferno, the fortress where Queen Yumo Glassia was located was recognized as the place where the most souls were stored in the Baator Inferno.
Even.
Long before the Hag Countess was on the throne, that fortress was the place where the most souls were stored in the Baator Inferno!
The reason was simple.
That was because there was a special organization on the sixth floor of the Baator Inferno, and that was the Soul Stealer, which was made up of the most daring high-grade demons and devils.
Nigras was the current leader of the Soul Stealers on the sixth floor!
These Soul Stealers rarely participated in the fights between the archdukes. They were like a group of special arms dealers. If the archdukes lost many of their subordinates and needed a batch of high-quality souls to replenish their servants, then they would trade with the archdukes. They would sell the souls of professionals stolen from the Servants of Death at a high price from the Underworld, the Spirit Realm, the Yellow Wilderness, and other places to them. Most of the Soul Stealers were very powerful, and almost all of the existences who could get the title of Soul Stealer were at least high-grade legends.
Flos was a little nervous, but he still took a deep breath and said, "My master needs a large number of high-quality soul crystals!"
"I thought about it. In the Baator Inferno, I'm afraid that only you have them."
Hearing Flos' words, Nigras smiled and said calmly, "The most valuable thing in the lower planes is souls."
"Then."
"How many souls does your master want? What will he use as a trade? "
Souls were the currency of the lower planes.
And the souls of professionals were the best part of the currency. The Soul Stealers were not interested in the souls of ordinary people. They only stole the souls of professionals and high-grade creatures from the hands of the Servants of Death.
Nigras did not ask who the master behind Flos was!
This was the rule of the lower planes. The Soul Stealers would never ask who bought the souls from them. They only cared about whether the other party could take out something that they were interested in as a reward.
"Divine … artifact! … "
The Abyss Purgatory Demon, Florence, slowly uttered the two words. Then, he saw the pupils of the Soul Stealer, Nigras, in front of him suddenly shrink. The weight of the two words was heavier than he imagined. And as the leader of the Soul Stealers, he must have thought of the identity of the existence who could take out the divine artifact.
For a moment.
Nigras the Soul Stealer hesitated, but he quickly nodded and said, "If that's the case, then there's no problem with the trade."
"We still need to see the actual goods for the specific number and equivalent souls to be traded!"
"Also."
"Please convey our goodwill to your master! … "
