Authority, rank, or more directly, the original authority of the nine layers of Bator Hell!
This is the most important thing in the entire Baator Hell, and it is also the cornerstone of the devil!
The eight hell lords headed by Asmodeus have divided up the greatest authority in the entire hell, and they have strict control over the devils under them, and they can even decide the opponent's rank or promotion with a single thought.
In the same way, a low-ranking devil under the jurisdiction can never be promoted to the original devil rank without the consent of its immediate superior.
And the hell lords of each floor have absolute power over the devils under their jurisdiction!
It can be seen from the fact that Leylin, relying on Belusebabu's memory, can pretend to be a mortal to run amok in the mainland and wipe out the Church of Gluttony.
For the entire hell, the disappearance of a lord on the first floor is an unprecedented event since the dusk of the ancient gods!
The rank of the devil is very similar to that of a bureaucrat, one seat is one hole, and the person in front of him can't get to the top without crowding out the person in front. Therefore, the advancement of a high-ranking devil will inevitably mean the downgrading of another devil, and dozens of times are watching from behind. enemy! The competition has simply reached a tragic level!
And now, when those fiends in deep hell who are loyal to Beeluse Babu, as well as great devils and high-ranking devils suddenly find that there is a mountain missing from their heads, what will they do
The ultimate promotion and position in hell—the temptation of the lords of hell is enough to make them forget everything!
In this turbulent undercurrent, the addition of Asmodeus and the other six lords made the second layer of Diss even more chaotic, which was also the root cause of a large number of devils leaving.
If the image is a bit metaphorical, if the Nine Hells is the ancient Central Plains, then Asmodeus is the emperor in name, and the other seven hell lords are the vassal kingdoms that rule one side and call themselves kings, and there are more arrogant soldiers under them Titans, that is, the deep hell refiner and other big devils.
The emperor wants to gain more power, and the princes look forward to increasing their territory. As for the other generals, they are madly working hard for their leaders, hoping to win the chance to be in the top position, and even have the ambition to usurp!
Surrounded by complex and entangled conspiracies, only the truly ambitious can have the last laugh and get the highest source authority of the entire hell as a reward!
The disappearance of Belusebabu is the direct disappearance of a vassal, and the power vacuum and turmoil brought about by this, what Leylin has seen is only the most superficial part.
But even so, it was already worthy of his deep vigilance.
"Now the Second Hell is in panic. Although the authority of Belusebabu still exists, many people feel its weakness..."
Leylin looked at the bustling and orderly flow of devils, walked around the entire bronze fort without stopping, and finally stopped in front of a pillar of devil's skull, as if he was admiring this precious spoil of bloody battle.
"According to the consistent conspiracy theory of the devils, those Belusebabu's men are propagating that their leader is actually not as weak as the outside rumors, but is hiding in a dark corner, waiting for all the opponents Jump out, and capture them in one fell swoop... In fact, in the long era of devils, several lords have done this, and even Asmodeus himself once carried out a conspiracy to 'pay the bill'. Know how many devils fell in the pit..."
"The other kind of rumor is that there are demons claiming that Beluse Babu has actually been secretly captured by a certain hell lord, and is now imprisoned somewhere, absorbing its energy from the source of hell... These demons are still Quite imaginative...”
It was Leylin's body that caused Belusebabu to be like this, so no one knew the other party's current situation better than him.
"Most of the gluttony rules have been taken away, and after losing almost all of their divinity and divine power, the other party must have fallen into a deep sleep now, and it is difficult to wake up no matter how much the outside world stimulates..."
Leylin, who had acquired most of the opponent's strength and memory, naturally knew how difficult this injury was. Unless Belusebabu defeated and devoured his warlock body again, it was basically impossible to return to the original rank.
A weak hell lord is definitely the most anticipated prey of those subordinates!
"In the other party's memory, there are several secret lairs and treasures specially prepared for this purpose, located all over Bator Hell and even in various planes..."
Leylin's eyes were a bit serious. Due to their inborn hypocrisy and cunning, these devils were simply incomparable in the arrangement of retreat routes.
"And the other party will obviously also consider that I have obtained part of its memory, and the possibility of using those secret caches is very small, and they will even set up traps in reverse..."
A lot of thoughts rushed through, and Leylin made a decision in an instant: "No matter what, we should go to Diss once!"
Discover this gluttonous monarch and devour everything about him! This is the opportunity for Leylin himself to advance, and he is absolutely not allowed to give up!
"The rank and authority of the devil, as well as the authority of world consciousness! This is another very interesting thing!"
Originated from the wizard's acuity and the legendary arcanist's expertise [Legendary Primordial Sensing], Leylin could clearly feel that although the entire nine-level Bator Hell has abundant world force, it does not have a complete consciousness!
In other words, the world consciousness that manipulates the power of the entire hell has been divided into eight parts, which are evenly distributed to the hell lords on each floor.
At this time, Leylin also inherited most of the authority from Beluzebabu, or the authority to manipulate the force of the world!
With the authority in his hands, he can promote a high-ranking devil under his command to be a fiend in deep hell, or downgrade a fiend from deep hell.
At the same time, he also has the power of life and death for other demons below the lords of the nine levels of hell!
This is determined by the origin of hell and cannot be violated or changed!
"Compared to demons, devils are a bit too miserable. Upgrading not only requires the permission of the ruler, but also consumes a lot of soul energy... Even the upper-level positions have already been filled, and you have to wait for the upper-level position." Chance!"
Leylin was suddenly glad that he hadn't been reincarnated into hell, but after thinking about it, he had the authority of Belusebabu, which meant that if he was a devil, there would be no bottleneck in his promotion, and he was even born in the devil's realm. At the top, only he governs others, and no one else governs his share.
"As long as I kill Beluze Babu again, and seize the last bit of power and authority of rules from it, I can instantly become the master of the second level of Hell's Dis Plane!"
Leylin suddenly had a clear understanding.
At the same time, I also know that it is precisely because he stirs up wind and rain in the main material world and carries huge hell authority on him, which creates the illusion that Beluse Babu still has power left.
The fear caused by this protected Beluse Babu who was in a deep sleep and avoided the fate of being killed by others. I don't know if it is a kind of irony.
"The authority of the force of hell..."
Leylin closed his eyes. After arriving in hell, he felt as if he had formed a whole body with the whole hell. With the rising and falling breath in his chest, the whole world seemed to be constantly echoing, a powerful original force , it seems that he will obey his orders at any time, burst out, forming an absolute coercion!
Of course, this permission cannot be moved lightly, otherwise it will inevitably lead to many unpredictable consequences.
But at this time, Leylin had already estimated the power he could bring by fully exerting his authority—it was comparable to the time in the world of purgatory when he sacrificed the young tree of wisdom to awaken the will of the world and obtain the blessing of the original source!
"Even an ordinary devil, with the blessing of this authority, can display the power of a regular wizard in hell..."
"The authority of this hell force is similar to the Godhead of the gods. Even if a mortal finds it, if he is lucky, he will also become a powerful existence that is rare in the world of the gods!"
Leylin suddenly understood the nature of those demon ranks: "The divisions of lower rank, middle rank, and higher rank, as well as great devils and deep hell fiends, are actually the external manifestations of the authority of this hell... just the real source of hell. Still in the hands of the eight hell lords, the rest of the devils are only supported by illusory false qualifications, which is the second authorization of the hell lords! This can naturally be taken back at will, which has caused the devils to have strict ranks in the eyes of outsiders. The false appearance of the lord's life and death... "
After realizing all this, Leylin instantly cleared a large part of the fog, and glimpsed the reality of hell.
"Therefore, what Asmodeus and the other six hell lords want to snatch should be the hell authority held by Beelusebabu!"
After knowing the real purpose of the other party, it would be easier to make some other targeted plans, and Leylin even thought of more aspects because of this.
"So... the first layer of hell, Avernas, should also have the same original authority as the other eight hell lords... where is it now?"
Mastering the authority of the source of hell, that is the lord of hell on the same level as Beluzebabu! There is not the slightest problem in unifying the whole of Avernas.
"Maybe it's because there are too many powerful demons on this level, or because the two true gods and the kingdom of God have divided up this part of authority..."
"In this case, there may be wild devils that have broken away from the 'eight lords structure'..."
Once you have the original authority of hell, even a small part, you can make the devil independent and gain the privilege of advancing without the consent of the superior!
Obviously, this is an existence that is absolutely not allowed by the Eight Lords of Hell!
