Hell's First Birth

<Luo Di>

"Hell Rank": Ordinary Spine Hunter*

*The spine is at the first stage of saturation. After completing the [Conscription Ritual], you can embark on the path to becoming a demon.

"Spine Type": Metal Chainsaw *

*A unique product combining the characteristics of the Primal Hell Object, its spinal structure remains unaffected while simultaneously expressing the Primal Hellish punishment characteristics, complementing each other to create a perfect spinal form.

*Specific Spine Quality will be provided after the [Conscription Ritual] is completed.

"War Stance": Slaughter*

Different War Stance will, to some extent, influence an individual's development path.

"Physical Body": First Birth*

*Because Outer-Realm Apostle cannot physically descend to the True Hell, they can only project their consciousness.

The current individual consciousness is projected onto the body of a Hell's First Birth, without any embellishment.

When an individual participates in the [Conscription Ritual], their physical body undergoes forced growth during the process, forming a stable [Hell Body].

This physical body will also serve as the individual's permanent identity in the True Hell and will be registered.

"Note": An unknown Outer-Realm Structure related to the pituitary gland was detected in the individual's Brain Structure.

A personal information Hell Engraving appeared in Luo Di's mind.

This was the first time he had obtained such detailed personal information in True Hell, which, in a sense, meant that he had truly gained hell's recognition.

However, everything in this form points to an important matter, which is also something that the Spine Guardians have been urging Luo Di to do.

[Conscription Ritual]

This time, the projection takes place in True Hell, just like the situation after the self-destruction on the vacation island last time.

A thick, warm liquid enveloped Luo Di's entire body, much like a mother's womb nurturing him.

This time, he didn't panic at all. Instead of rushing to pull out the feeding tube inserted deep in his throat, he first tore open the membrane in front of him.

They were still atop the high wall, a wall of flesh and blood that nurtured thousands of bodies, seemingly designed specifically for the consciousness of the extraterrestrials.

"Although I gained the recognition of the Spine People, because my consciousness hadn't reconnected for a long time, they sent my body to this ' Wall of Gestation '... Or perhaps, my previous body had already died, and this time I was projected into a different body?"

Because it is a brand new, newly conceived Hell Shell, it can be defined as an "infant" to some extent.

Instead of leaping directly down the wall of flesh and blood tens of meters high, Luo Di crawled down slowly, landing steadily on the ground to avoid causing unnecessary damage to the newborn body.

Moreover, the process of climbing the wall allows one to become familiar with this body.

(For a detailed description of the Hell Shell, please refer to Chapter 195.)

Thinner skin, more diverse and growing Muscle Tissue, more exposed and equally growing bone structure—everything related to the physical body is in its original, unrefined state.

The face retains only the mouth for eating and biting, and the eyes for observing enemies; the rest of the organs are gone.

This is the "body," the newly born flesh.

in addition.

After completing the wall-climbing maneuver, Luo Di immediately underwent two special examinations.

The first is the "spine".

The second is the "pituitary gland" that Luo Di prepared for so long.

Perhaps it's due to the regeneration of the body,

Although Luo Di could touch the protruding Metal Spine on his back, he couldn't use any of his abilities. Let alone opening the spine, even the most basic heating was difficult to achieve.

However, when Luo Di raised his right palm, a gray wisp could be seen floating in his palm.

Confirming this is enough; it at least proves that Luo Di's preparations over the past two months have not been in vain, and that the pituitary gland and its corresponding Corner System have come here with the projection.

He just didn't quite understand why, now that he was in the True Hell and closer to a true Spine Being, he couldn't use the abilities related to the spine.

Filled with doubt,

He moved again to the center of the area, surrounded by ten giant spines, where he had previously undergone his initial examination by the Spine People.

really,

As Luo Di stood in the center, sounds emanated from the tops of these giant spines.

"Outer-Realm Apostle, you have finally arrived!"

Given the exceptional quality of your "War Stance" submission two months ago, and considering the potential connectivity issues due to the vast distance between your worlds, we will not pursue the matter further regarding your lateness.

The voice from the top of the spine was still authoritative, but its tone was much gentler than before, clearly indicating that it was quite satisfied with Luo Di, the Outer-Realm Apostle.

"Why can't I use my spine?"

"The newly formed body cannot support such a perfect and high-quality spine as you, so it temporarily blocks the characteristics of the spine in order to protect the body."

Next, you will go to the Armory Factory to officially begin the [Conscription Ritual], a process that will "Tempered Flesh" based on your War Stance, spinal structure, and self-awareness.

At that time, the relevant functions of the spine will be able to be used normally.

As long as you can maintain your self-awareness and uphold the overall structure during this process, you will gain formal Spine Citizen status and Nest City Human Rights.

A special Service Assessment will be arranged for you to determine which legion you are best suited for.

"Forging... Nest City... Legion..."

Luo Di was looking forward to the hellish journey ahead, and he disliked his current weakness and wanted to quickly return to his normal physical state.

"Can we begin now?"

"Your order has been sent to the factory, but due to your dual Hell Object and extraterrestrial identity, it will take some time to prepare. You just need to wait here for further notice."

"Oh."

Luo Di didn't just stand around doing nothing during his free time; instead, he used the time to do his favorite exercise—push-ups.

Although this so-called firstborn body was insufficient to support the Metal Spine.

But in Luo Di's view, his physique was comparable to that of an ordinary human, and push-up exercises would allow him to adapt more quickly and also serve as a warm-up for his conscription.

After doing just fifty, my body couldn't hold on any longer, and my whole body started to shake and tremble.

Seeing this, Luo Di did not use his spine, but tried to slightly activate the pituitary gland, which was also projected from the brain.

The unique Fear Source Essence from the corner stimulates the brain, causing gray to flow through the blood and spread throughout the body, with tiny tentacles growing in parts of the body that are unable to support their weight to assist in exerting force.

Push-ups, which I had previously found impossible to continue, suddenly became easy, and I even started doing them with one hand, gradually reducing the number of fingers involved.

The Spine Mother Body responsible for the [Shell Park] could naturally sense the changes in Luo Di's body and feel that something outside of Hell was strengthening his flesh.

"The world you are in is very peculiar... Perhaps you really can perform well in future wars. The factory has already given its reward, and the Conscription Ritual is about to begin."

Before Luo Di could even finish his push-up, the soil beneath him began to loosen, eventually transforming into a soft channel that carried him vertically down.

Because the wall was soft and covered with lubricating secretions, there was no place to hold onto, so it could only fall freely.

The speed increased rapidly, to the point that it shattered this newly born body.

Just as Luo Di was pondering how to handle the current situation,

It looked as if it had detached from some kind of intestine.

Thump!

His body fell heavily into the water, but he was not broken.

But the water here is not a lake, but a huge Iron Pot, and it has already been Iron Pot.

If it were a human body, it would be cooked immediately.

This body, produced in hell, has extremely high heat resistance. Boiling water not only did not damage the skin tissue, but instead made the skin transparent, allowing the muscle texture and bone structure inside to be clearly seen.

Luo Di even felt like he was soaking in a hot spring.

That makes sense, as a major characteristic of the True Hell is its intense heat, something Luo Di had already experienced firsthand when he used his spine in battle.

Even the Human World body has become heat-resistant due to the existence of the spine, and even the killing intent that spreads out is as hot as magma, which can easily cover and devour the cold killing intent of ordinary killers.

The "boiling" process before us is probably the prelude to conscription, heating and activating Luo Di's body in order to begin the next "maturation" process.

Beside the Iron Pot stood a towering Hell Blacksmith, over ten meters tall, who reached out and pulled the tiny, already Boiling Heat Luo Di out of the cauldron.

The physical forging is about to begin.
