After following the black cat for an hour, Lode finally understood one thing.
Hell... is really f***ing big!
This is not an exaggeration at all, but the area of this 'small hell' where he is now is really big!
But it's normal.
From Constantine's words, he learned that there are different sizes of extradimensional spaces outside the Earth.
For example, the dimension occupied by the Dark Lord Dormammu, the dimension occupied by the Dark God Cthon, and the dimension occupied by Vishanti, the overall area is almost comparable to a single universe.
The area occupied by the original [Heaven] and [Hell] dimensions even exceeded a single universe.
The dimensions affected by the two are even at the level of the multiverse!
The specific form of expression is that in any dimension, there are names of [Heaven] and [Hell]!
But after the initial [Hell] dimension shattered, those small fragment dimensions with the 'Hell' authority, the smallest of which was the size of a planet!
The difficulty of finding a lost human soul among billions of evil spirits and demons in a place the size of a planet is no less than ascending to heaven!
No wonder Constantine said that this is an impossible task!
But it's not completely hopeless. This black cat is connected to Angela's mind and can communicate telepathically with each other, so there is still a chance.
"Meow~"
The black cat came to the edge of a cliff, suddenly stopped, then raised its paw and pointed down, and meowed at Lode a few times, as if to tell him to come and take a look.
"...Seriously, are you not Yoruichi in disguise?" Lode asked again, surprised by the black cat's intelligence.
This is no longer the level of intelligence that ordinary creatures can possess, right?
"Meow~ Meow~"
The black cat seemed very anxious, and meowed at Lode a few more times, pointing its paw at the bottom of the cliff again.
"Understood, I'll go over now." Lode smiled dumbly, feeling that he might be overthinking it. How could the black cat be Yoruichi in disguise.
After coming to the edge of the cliff, Lode looked down as the black cat pointed, and a hint of joy rose between his brows: "Found her... Angela!"
Below the cliff pointed by the black cat, there was a girl wearing a spaghetti-strap sleeveless T-shirt, lying on a huge disc-shaped stone carving, with her limbs tied to it by iron chains as thick as arms.
Although Angela had been found, Lode was not in a hurry to go down, but first concentrated his spiritual power on his eyes.
This allows eyesight to be dramatically improved in a short period of time, allowing him to see clearly the plants and trees below through the obstruction of yellow sand and smoke!
With the help of the spiritual eye, Lode had a panoramic view of the bottom.
Angela was lying on a huge disc-shaped stone carving, and judging from the degree of weathering of this disc-shaped stone carving, it should have experienced quite ancient years, and it was also covered with unknown characters.
After carefully observing these characters, what surprised Lode was that the shape and structure of these characters were extremely similar to the characters on the holster, with only some minor differences.
"Is it this kind of Akkad text again?"
Lode frowned, and couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in his heart, why would these Akkad texts appear in hell?
As far as he knew, Akkad text originated from the Semitic-Hamitic language family, which is one of the oldest language families in the world's cuneiform writing system. It was created and used by the Akkad civilization in the era of more than 2,000 years ago, and later evolved into most of the existing Middle Eastern languages.
Some modern historians and linguists speculate that the ancient Hebrew script, the predecessor of Jewish language, was derived from Akkad text.
Combined with the previous incident, when Constantine read the sentence on the holster, it actually attracted the advent of the Archangel Gabriel!
Ancient Hebrew...
Jewish language....
Akkad language.....
Bible...
Gabriel.....
All kinds of thoughts flashed back in Lode's mind,
As one fragmented clue after another gradually took shape, a bold guess appeared in his mind!
Known, the oldest existing Bible in the world, the content is compiled from ancient Hebrew characters;
Secondly, ancient Hebrew characters originated from Akkad characters, and Archangel Gabriel called this character the word of God!
So please ask...
Who can be called 'God' by Archangel Gabriel?
God!
Only God can be called 'God' by Archangel Gabriel!
In other words.
Long before the birth of ancient Hebrew characters, someone had recorded the words and deeds of 'God' in Akkad characters, which is why Gabriel called it the 'Word of God'!
"It won't work... there is still a key piece of information missing!"
Lode frowned, although he speculated that these Akkad texts are very likely to be the oldest 'Bible' prototype that records God's words and deeds.
But he still doesn't understand, what is the special intention of these characters appearing in hell!
And from the incident of Gabriel's advent, it can be seen that He cares about the 'Word of God'!
Intuition tells him that there is a huge secret hidden in these characters!
"Meow~"
The black cat's cry suddenly interrupted Lode.
"Hmm?"
Feeling the touch from his calf, Lode lowered his head and saw the black cat gently rubbing against him.
"Meow woo woo woo～"
The black cat rubbed his calf while looking at Angela below, calling softly, as if reminding Lode not to forget that he came to save people.
"That's right, I almost forgot."
Lode smiled self-deprecatingly. He was attracted by those characters and almost forgot that there was someone to save.
But one thing makes Lode more worried!
There are no signs of any demons activity near the disc-shaped stone carving, which is not good news!
You know, the soul of a living person is extremely attractive to demons. On the way here, he has fully seen it.
Those greedy evil spirits, even under the threat of spiritual pressure, still rushed up at all costs, wanting to devour his soul.
But Angela is lying there!
But not a single demon dares to approach this disc-shaped stone carving. From this point, it is enough to prove that it is definitely not that simple!
"It's really a headache..."
Lode sighed. He just wanted to see hell in advance and see if there was a chance to make some 'extra money'!
After all, if you want to talk about where the souls are in this world, it must be in hell.
But who knew that things would go against his wishes!
After Lode killed those evil spirits all the way, he found that the system didn't give him even one soul!
After some questioning, Lode realized this.
The fallen souls are 'bound' by the authority of hell. They will be punished here for eternity. No matter what form of death, even the death god's Zanpakuto, cannot completely eliminate them in hell!
Unless...
He seizes the authority of this hell, and then he can control the souls that fall into hell!
It's terrible!
The system doesn't even think about it. If he has the ability to seize the authority of hell, would he still need to worry about this soul?
Lode: I want a lot of souls.
System: Go to hell!
Lode: But I can't get the souls in hell!
System: Then become stronger!
Lode: Becoming stronger requires souls!
System: Then go to hell!
Lode: I TM...
