"No need to consider, your position is more dangerous, you haven’t forced me to the Eternal Hall, I’m more than happy!" Wayne shrugged, Aztemo’s coffin lid is in the Eternal Hall, Yalien must have countermeasures, compared to the unknown, the known three Subsidiary Gods are safer. Having said that Rone would protect him, he must protect him, a man of his word, can a man go back on his word! Rone nodded in relief, then turned to the nine Night Gods, and said solemnly: "I know this sounds heartless, but Wayne’s talent far surpasses yours, if you encounter a must-sacrifice danger, I hope you stand in front of him, absolutely no harm should come to him." There were some things Rone didn’t say, not only is Wayne exceptionally gifted, destined to become a new Subsidiary God, but his right eye also harbors the thoughts of Death. If not for fearing to set themselves up, failing to rescue the Goddess and losing the Goddess’s thoughts, Rone would have single-handedly challenged the three Subsidiary Gods to fight for Wayne’s chance. In any case, Wayne is very important, everyone else can die, Wayne cannot. The nine Night Gods immediately responded, they had long prepared for sacrifice, as long as they died for Hades, died with value, they would not refuse any form of sacrifice. "Then act according to plan, there’s no time to lose, I’ll go ahead..." Updates are released by novel⟡fire.net Rone’s body faded and left, it was obvious he was in great haste, from meeting Wayne to passing on the instructions, there was no delay at all. "Since that is the case, let’s begin!" Wayne drew the Shadowmare, its blade pointed to the Eighth Layer of the Hades Map—Pride Peak. All religious doctrines revolve around good and evil, virtues and sins, Death is no exception, shedding sins and evils, understanding goodness and beauty, only then can the soul achieve eternal peace. Among them, Pride is a sin that must be overcome, only by learning humility can life progress, and the soul be purified. On the Eighth Layer of the Death Kingdom stands a forbidding mountain range, symbolizing the pride and arrogance unovercome in life, perceived through others’ eyes to intuitively feel one’s pride. The Eighth Layer bears profound meanings, every detail is meticulously arranged. At the foot of the mountain is a barren land densely packed with black bramble and rubble, sharp thorns symbolizing the barriers and harm Pride brings to others, making every step a struggle, painfully difficult; The body of Pride Mountain is smooth like a mirror, towering into the clouds, enveloped year-round in mist, blocking climbers’ view, symbolizing Pride’s irrationality, a proud heart losing direction; There are also howling winds, bone-chilling cold, an extremely harsh natural environment symbolizing the prideful being isolated from the world, lacking self-awareness and respect for the outside world. According to the Death Bible, the Eighth Layer does not have platitudes promoting kindness, souls are brought to feel pain through others’ eyes, understand pain, thereby comprehending the pain one’s pride brought to others, learning humility atop the high mountain, understanding one’s insignificance, knowing to listen to the outside world. According to the pre-death pride of the soul, the height and natural environment of Pride Peak will have different levels of adjustment, souls possessing the virtue of humility can surpass Pride Peak in a single step, while souls without the virtue of humility, like those Insectoids who often say "What class are you?"... Uh, better be immortal, otherwise once the soul enters Hades, they’ll do nothing but climb mountains every day. According to the map’s records, the Eighth Layer is divided between the forces of Grew and Saine, both sides having battled for a long time, the frontlines changing hands repeatedly, the stalemate is tough on both sides. Light and shadow flickered, white bone skeletons clad in black armor stood on the mountain top platform, overlooking the smallness of all the mountains below. Did not learn humility, got even more arrogant. Behind Wayne, the Holy Maiden and disciples walked shoulder to shoulder, while dozens of Demigod-level powerhouses stood on different mountain peaks. The Divine Nation is like that, Demigods are everywhere, Legends are as common as dogs, without Demigod-level cultivation, you would be embarrassed to greet others. Same with Hades, Hell, and Heaven. Mighty Demigods, like the Seven Deadly Sins, like the Subsidiary Gods, they can forge Demigod-level retinues themselves. No need to mention Gods, Death’s proud creations Saine and Rone; Heavenly Father’s perfect work Michael, the mass-produced many angels, Gods not only can create Demigods, but can also elevate retinues to reach the Pinnacle Great Perfection realm in one step. Wayne himself can do it too, signing contracts with Resentful Spirits, corrupting the Essence of Life of his retinues, all grow strong because of his strength. To Gods, Demigods are just tools, with a wave of a hand they can create a swarm, not considered a threat, the real enemies are only the Gods of the same Realm. This, Wayne saw a perfect example on Heaven’s Tenth Layer, the Twin Holy Trees of Life and Knowledge, truly mass-producing Demigods. At the same time, it proved once again that Gods do not care whether a believer’s faith is pious, believe if you want, as long as you study Faith Magic, adding a filter for the Gods, you are a devout believer. Back to the point, the Eighth Layer is divided between the forces of two Subsidiary Gods, according to the strategic plan devised by the Nine Night Gods, today’s raid mainly aims to harass, a hit and run. Grew and Saine are not the focus, Xizor is the key, if we can set up a meeting to have the three traitors fight among themselves all the better, if not, then stir the waters, lure Xizor out of the Eleventh Layer of the Only Cosmos. At the moment, Rone has already quietly approached the periphery of the Only Cosmos, Wayne’s task is simple, pose as Rone and rush around the first ten layers, constantly making appearances to annoy the three traitors, drawing hatred then turning and running.
