After the Abyss World successively assimilated five world clusters, even the relatively sparse Abyssal Devil Race had grown to a truly terrifying population base.
One land nourished one people. The vast Abyssal Devil Race, sustained by six world clusters, had bred such enormous numbers of creatures standing at the very top of the Abyssal creature food chain, above even Abyssal Demon Dragons. That was precisely what this described.
Relatively speaking, though no clear divisions had been made, the Abyssal Demon Ancestors were roughly divided into four tiers according to their strength.
