The Bottomless Abyss's current masters were the Tanar'ri Demons.
Whether the mighty Demogorgon, Balor Demons, Succubi, Glabrezus, and the like, or even the weakest Demon Worms.

This batch of Chaos Worms underwent new changes and became the first demons—the Obyrith Demons.
These demons could survive in the ordered universe, but
