Agatha had arrived on the other side earlier.

Although the wait might take more than a day, she wasn't bored at all, remaining immersed in the stories Luo Di told and the corresponding worlds.

Her life was almost entirely confined to the Grand Monastery.

Her mind was fixed on the Hell world described in the monastery library.

As a rather special "nun," she faced numerous restrictions and was often confined to the convent. This was one of the rare occasions when she was allowed to leave the convent only after receiving a task to catch mice.

Even when World Invasion occurs, their Order rarely takes action, unless a being from the other world accidentally lands near the Grand Monastery.

Her encounter with Luo Di introduced her to the outside world for the first time, a world more interesting than the monastery, even more interesting than hell.

The seed of a forbidden fruit has already been planted in one's mind, and even the tightrope of thought in a monastery cannot restrain it.

As she was immersed in the story, pondering the Pseudo-Human, the literature of horror, and related matters of the Human World, she suddenly heard a breathing sound.

Only three hours had passed when she sensed a familiar aura—the aura of the monks from the torture chamber.

Looking over,

Luo Di was seen running across the bridge without taking any protective measures.

"Luo Di!"

It wasn't just Agatha who was shocked.

Pilgrims who had spent nearly thirty hours climbing the bridge were also affected when they saw the scene of running; a psychological impact almost caused them to fall off the bridge.

Even more bizarrely,

Luo Di was still keeping his eyes closed, not looking at the barbed wire beneath his feet at all; his thoughts seemed to have wandered off somewhere else.

Snap!

As his feet touched the ground on the other side of the bridge, Luo Di opened his eyes.

His eyes showed no sign of fatigue, but rather a unique gleam, as if he had seen something that excited him.

He asked Agatha in a soft voice, "It shouldn't have taken long, right?"

"No, that was fast."

"That's fine then." Luo Di looked up at the area he had arrived at. The ground seemed to be covered with a layer of white snow, but there was also a metallic sheen in the snow.

"Is this area, which looks like it's plated with white metal, all the territory of the Order?"

"It can't really be considered territory, it's just that most the Devil consider it our territory, since we can only get here by crossing the Bridge of Sins."

In reality, the main area of activity for the Prologue was only the vicinity of the Grand Monastery and the three special institutions controlled by members of the Prologue.

This is [Hell's Border - Pure White Plateau].

At your crow-foal speed, it would probably take you 1-2 days to cross this area.

"Is this already the border? By that logic, the True Hell doesn't seem very big, but the population is enormous, especially the spine people and tumor people."

Agatha patiently explained, "According to the book, the True Hell has undergone two ' World Compression,' and the original world was quite open and spherical."

After two major World Compression, the entire world transformed into a cone-shaped structure, with its surface area reduced by a staggering 84%.

"World Compression?"

It's difficult to give a precise idea of the level that Luo Di has reached.

"Yes~ Due to the scarcity of native resources in the True Hell, it has long been unable to support the astonishing rate of the Devil reproduction, let alone the living needs of large forces."

The World Invasion became the most necessary thing for the True Hell to do.

Only through invasion and plunder can enough resources be obtained to support the development of Hell.

To invade other worlds, you need to bring the True Hell closer to the past.

The earliest hell was too large to move slowly and required a huge amount of energy, so the idea of World Compression was conceived.

The cone-shaped Netherworld can now move quickly across dimensional spaces, consuming less energy to travel long distances, making it more suitable for World Invasion.

As for the fuel that powers the world, a large part of it comes from the corpses of those who die on the battlefield.

After the corpses collected by the Original Pus are drained of their value, they are thrown into the Hell Rift to recharge the world's fuel.

Of course, when speed is required, there are other, even faster ways to recharge; the Hell Furnace is always burning.

Upon hearing this, Luo Di's heart skipped a beat.

Perhaps one day, True Hell will arrive on Earth, and who knows what kind of apocalyptic scene it will be then.

but,

The True Hell must be very far from Earth in terms of dimensional distance; otherwise, it would have taken so long for a Connector like Luo Di to appear.

Given enough time, Luo Di is confident he can climb to the top of Hell. If he gains a certain degree of influence, perhaps he can prevent this situation from happening again.

"Luo Di, let's go. The Grand Monastery and the torture chamber are in the same direction."

"Good."

The two continued to use the same method of movement.

This Pure White Plateau felt extremely out of place to Luo Di. There was none of the scorching heat of True Hell; the temperature hovered around 30°C. Even the dryness had gradually faded, and occasionally, puddles with small pieces of metal floating on them could be glimpsed.

Most importantly,

This place is quite desolate.

Previously, Luo Di often saw Hell Creature and various towns while traveling. Now, however, he could see nothing but a few spiky plants with metallic coatings on their surfaces.

Occasionally, pilgrims can be seen crossing the bridge.

They have successfully traversed the most difficult part and now only need to complete the last, easier section to reach the Grand Monastery and become a member.

Of course, the real ascetic practice has only just begun.

When Luo Di and his companion passed by these pilgrims, the pilgrims would bow and kneel in worship.

Soon, they arrived at the Grand Monastery.

Contrary to expectations,

The so-called Grand Monastery was actually a huge white cube, quite different from the rugged style of Chaos Nest, and much smaller.

Only by going inside can one know what it's really like.

Agatha said softly, "The rat is dead, my lifespan is over, and I cannot send you to the torture chamber. Remember to come to the Grand Monastery to see me after you return from Lord Hook's place."

"All you need to do is go to a certain entrance, then gently tap this iron pillar, and I'll come to pick you up immediately."

Agatha separated a delicate iron rod, about the length of a finger, from her palm and threw it at Luo Di on horseback.

"I'll come then."

Agatha's pupils trembled upon receiving a positive reply, overjoyed beyond words.

"Keep walking along this road to the end, and you'll find the torture chamber. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Looking at the metals with different properties in his hand, Luo Di wanted to try to put them into his left arm, but he found that the wire inside his left arm and the iron rod seemed incompatible and even repelled each other, so he could not put them into his arm.

The iron rod could only be put into a pocket.

After holding it in for so long, Fei Ji was finally able to speak.

As a subordinate unit, it was not appropriate for it to interrupt the conversation between the messenger and the nun, so it remained silent throughout.

"Iron Pillar Nun, she is a special nun from the Grand Monastery ... Mr. Di, this nun is no ordinary person, almost equivalent to a special elite among the Spine Legion."

These nuns are specifically trained for combat and can subdue most Hell Creature.

She is still young and has tremendous potential for future development.

"I can tell."

"Mr. Di, if you have a habit of teaming up, you can bring her along. It will be more efficient to hunt Wanted Criminal."

"Um."

Fei Ji wanted to say more, but in the end, she turned into a necklace and obediently wore it on Luo Di's body.

It could sense that this envoy's journey had only just begun, and what had happened before that had shocked it was merely an appetizer.

After continuing along this road for several hours,

Click, click, click~ A sensation of torture instruments came from my left arm.

No buildings related to the torture chamber were seen.

Instead, a coffin-like giant transport vehicle was moving along the road, towed by two stitched-together Giant Beast covered in hooks.

A group of the Devil, bound by instruments of torture and with their eyes sewn shut with hooks, followed around them; they seemed to be both prisoners and escorts.

They all immediately nodded in greeting to Crow Colt, showing no sense of unfamiliarity, as if they had known Luo Di for a long time.

Luo Di also felt a vague sense of familiarity when he looked at these escorts; their physical characteristics seemed to be somewhat similar to those of the mental patients in the Fifth Hospital.

Continue on your way

The ground begins to slope upwards.

Luo Di gradually saw the true edge of hell, with countless red lightning bolts leaping in the darkness.

On this edge stands a peculiar building, its structure and proportions almost identical to those of the Fifth Hospital ...

Although the proportions are the same, the size is several times larger.

Any sinner who comes here will experience intense pain, but Luo Di felt as if he were home, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.
