Journey

The Will of Chaos, the Seven Horns.

The entertainment brought by Luo Di kept everyone staying.

Before the World Invasion began, they were all genuinely bored. It was quite rare for such an interesting Outer-Realm Apostle to appear, one who could even slay that dangerous villain during the service test.

and,

His pickiness about armor and unique taste in mounts after being given the identity of an envoy far surpassed those of the New Recruit, which was truly interesting.

Moreover, they all noticed the Supernatural Ability that Luo Di brought from another world, a Supernatural Ability that was fundamentally different from Hell Sorcery.

The person sitting in the Center Position gave their evaluation:

"That gray color was quite peculiar, enough to instill fear in the crowfolk and make them completely submit to him. This is a special creature that lives in the Evil Play Territory, so the [world] this person comes from must also be very special."

"This gray that can bring fear is very interesting..."

A great lord, standing upright on his seat by his spine, his skin fluttering like a tattered cloak in the wind, said:

"Shall we try to locate this apostle's World Coordinates?"

"No need for that~ His world is very far away. Even if we could pinpoint the exact location, we would need to consume a huge amount of fuel to get close to it."

Besides, since he has chosen the "path" I've given him, let him try it out first. I'll see the final result, and before that, I'll try my best to prevent external factors from disrupting his progress.

The person who first noticed Luo Di's eyeball then raised another question:

"Boss... is this path to the torture chamber that you suggested really necessary? He's a member of the Order Group anyway, so why not just use the Upper Array to send him there?"

After all, the truly important and dangerous journey begins after reaching the torture chamber.

"Do you have any objections to my arrangements?"

Perhaps sensing the change in his boss's aura, all the pupils of his eyes contracted rapidly. "No, no."

However, the leader sitting in the Center Position still offered an explanation, seemingly indicating that he was in a good mood today.

"The metal composition of his body is mainly related to the torture chamber. He has most likely only had contact with Hawke. I want to see the entire Order's attitude towards this Spine Man."

After all, Hawke's support alone wasn't enough for his future arrangements; he needed to go to the Grand Monastery and obtain formal monk status.

[Mid-Nest - War Teleportation Tower]

The Mid-Nest area has a large number of such towers, which can teleport thousands of Spine Warriors directly to the battlefield area at once.

As an envoy, Luo Di has the opportunity for "individual fixed-point teleportation".

Following the guidance of the Fei Ji, we arrived at a single-person teleportation room.

Without much waiting or hesitation, the three wizards simultaneously activated their spines, and streams of spinal cord energy were injected into the teleportation array.

Luo Di initially thought it was a teleportation technique he had seen in science fiction shows.

Little did I know,

The formation completely disassembled Luo Di's body, including his spine, and then reconstructed it by more than 90% on the formation at the destination.

While it ensures the integrity of the spine, the body will be affected to some extent.

Strangely,

As the teleportation was initiated, a gray figure appeared within the formation.

Unstable physical structures become stable under the influence of color.

The reconstructed Luo Di maintained 100% integrity, which surprised even the wizard in charge of the teleportation. They rarely encountered such a smooth teleportation, and the other party was not a native the Devil.

Not only that,

Even the crow-cow that was transported along with it remained unaffected and intact.

Buzz!

Transmission complete.

The spores of the tumor bacteria in the air were eager to get into Luo Di's nasal cavity, but fortunately he was prepared in advance and was wearing Jaw Ripper, so any air that entered his respiratory tract would be purified by the heat.

[On the Edge of the Battlefield]

A region where large-scale warfare had long since ended.

The surrounding area was covered with huge pits, and between these pits, there was often a large amount of foul-smelling pus, and a few flies and maggots were left behind.

The soil was thoroughly stained red with the blood spilled during the war, becoming moist and sticky.

Strangely,

Despite the fact that a large number of the Devil died during the war, not a single corpse can be found.

"Fei Ji, where did the body go?"

"Mr. Di, the reason why Original Pus is willing to cater to our endless war demands is not because they are obedient, nor because they love war."

They simply relish the corpses left by war; for every the Devil that dies, a new necromancer is born from the Original Pus flesh.

"So, shouldn't the Original Pus be the largest force in the True Hell?"

The Fei Ji violently swung its tailbone in a gesture of denial.

"Numbers are never the key to strength. We Spine Warriors can also draw nourishment from war, a nourishment called war experience. This nourishment is no less valuable than those corpses."

Moreover, groups like the [Prelude Group], which are related to you, Mr. Di, are extremely small, numbering less than a single warband, yet they enjoy the Title of Major Power and wield significant World Authority.

The strong are the true key to determining the strength of a power.

While all the major powers in Hell appear to be suffering losses in personnel, they are actually each pursuing their own interests and cultivating the most elite beings.

If a civilization still judges its strength by the number of its members, then that civilization is inevitably inferior.

"These are all things I heard from within the legion, and they are indeed true."

"Um."

After leaving the city, Fei Ji seemed to become exceptionally professional. He flew and landed on Luo Di's shoulder, connecting the nerves to the cervical spine and Memory Sharing.

A Parchment Map appeared in my mind, marking the specific route to the torture chamber.

"This is our route to the prelude group."

The Prologue is a neutral force that does not compete for resources or actively recruit the Devil, making it a special force located on the edge of the world.

We need to traverse three entire regions and cross two mountains that serve as dividing lines to reach the [Bridge of Sins], which is also the only way to reach the territory of the Prologue.

Even at the fastest speed possible, it will take a full five days. We should pass through some ordinary towns along the way, where we can stop and resupply. There's no specific time requirement given, so we just need to avoid getting too late.

"An ordinary town? Which forces' The Devil live there?"

"Mr. Di, the number of the Devil in the True Hell is quite large. Some females can give birth to more than ten, or even a hundred, children in their lifetime. And most the Devil cannot obtain ' Hell Object ' like you."

If they want to survive, they have no choice but to live in these Hell Town, undergoing various targeted training programs, hoping that one day they will be chosen by some force.

Of course, some towns are associated with certain factions, but as an envoy, you will receive special treatment wherever you go.

Let's go.

"Wait, Mr. Di ~ I can't fly for long periods of time, let alone maintain the same speed as the crow. Please allow me to attach myself to you."

"Um."

The Fei Ji transformed its wings into a collar, which it hung around its neck like a bamboo flute.

Luo Di was already impatient; he was eager to try out the so-called mount and see just how fast this special Hell Beast could go.

Although he had never learned to ride a horse, Luo Di was able to learn quickly by relying on his physical adaptability and the Tool Construction.

He pulled on the iron chain reins with both hands.

Imitating the posture of horse riders in movies,

"Walk!"

The horse's mane swayed.

Whoosh!

The crow-foal shot forward like a Black Arrow, its speed far exceeding imagination, reaching an astonishing 200 km/h. It could perfectly adapt to any type of road condition, even leaping over potholes over ten meters deep.

Luo Di also noticed that during running, the inside of the ravens' four legs grew feather structures that allowed them to better conform to aerodynamics.

Leaping out of the war zone, one is greeted by Thorn Forest of thorns, a common forest structure adapted to the aridity of hell.

The thorns feed on the blood flowing from the battlefield.

The spikes on the surface can be over a meter long, leaving very little room to walk. To traverse such a forest, one must stop frequently and hack their way through the undergrowth.

However,

The crow did not slow down at all.

The crow's eyes had already chosen the best path.

If it encounters any unavoidable thorns along the way, the crow will suddenly open its big beak and bite the thorns to pieces, chew and swallow them, and also replenish its nutrition.
