As you descend deeper into the bowels of Christianity's Hell, the air grows thick with an oppressive heat, and the very ground beneath your feet rumbles and shakes with the force of the infernal fires. You can feel the weight of sin and guilt pressing down upon you, threatening to crush your spirit.
As you round a bend in the winding, labyrinthine tunnels, you catch your first glimpse of the Seventh Circle of Hell. It is a vast expanse of boiling magma, stretching as far as the eye can see, dotted with small islands of jagged rock and twisted metal. The screams of the damned fill the air, rising up from the churning inferno like a choir of agony.
You can see the tortured forms of sinners writhing in the molten lava, their flesh melting away as they are burned alive over and over again. As you make your way closer to the edge of the fiery abyss, you can see the forms of monstrous demons stalking the shoreline, wielding whips and scourges as they drive the souls of the wicked deeper into the flames.
The stench of brimstone and sulfur is almost overpowering, and you can feel your lungs burning with each breath. But despite the horrors around you, you find yourself unable to turn away from the mesmerizing spectacle of the Seventh Circle of Hell. It is a place of unparalleled suffering, but also a testament to the raw power and brutality of the forces of evil.
Here in the seventh circle of Hell, lives seven princes of Hell, each one of them representing one of the seven Sins.
Now, in one of those princes' palaces in this damned place, a meeting is occurring between two people.
"Brother, how long are we going to wait?" one of them asked in an impatient tone.
"I know we have been waiting for thousands of years, but you should know that the time isn't right to rebel again," said the other one calmly.
If normal humans were to see those two people, they would be shocked and horrified.
After all, the two people sitting here can be considered legends in mythology, even people in the supernatural society wouldn't be able to see them easily.
One of them had blonde hair and a handsome face, his face has the look of someone who is looking down at anything, and his eyes are extremely arrogant and cold, but when he turn his eyes to the person sitting in front of him, his eyes would just soften inventorially.
As the person sitting in front of him had long black hair, and a beautiful face, he was of the same height as the blonde-haired man. The man would usually have a scholarly look, and his eyes would always shine with intellect, but now those eyes seem to be filled with worry, anxiety, and impatience.
"Why are you so worried Azazel?" the blonde-haired man asked curiously.
"Lucifer, you should know more than me, that staying in the place where our sisters and brothers are for such a long time would affect them," said Azazel angrily at how Lucifer is acting.
Yes.
Those two are two of the most famous figures in Hell.
Lucifer, a fallen angel who is known by many names in the past and the present, but what he is known as today in Hell is the Prince of Pride.
Azazel, another fallen angel, someone who rebelled with Lucifer in the past when Lucifer decided to intact his rebellion, Azazel of today can be considered Lucifer's Lieutenant and the deputy leader of the Fallen angels' faction that managed to stay in Hell.
"You should know that I am strong, but if I made a move the other princes will also move, although I am stronger than them, but the combined might of all of them, if I tried to do what you want, could defeat me," said Lucifer to the agitated Azazel.
"Then we can fight with you, you should know that there are several strong people among our faction," answered Azazel almost instantly without thinking much.
"Calm down brother, you should know if we do that, then we are killing our brothers and sisters who we are here to save the others who are locked away, it will be meaningless at the time, just calm down and listen to me," asserted Lucifer to his deputy.
"Then, out with it," although Azazel managed to calm down a little, impatience could still be seen in his eyes.
"First, brother you are the wisest among us, so calm down completely and tell me why are you suddenly barged into the Palace agitated like this."
Half an hour ago, Lucifer was just lying around lazily, beings who reached his level of power, usually have nothing to do, especially when you are in a place like Hell, where all is there, are demons who want to kill each other, and souls who got tormented all day long.
Listening to their screams all year, became something like a daily routine to Lucifer and the other fallen angels after they came here.
Can they leave here?
Of course, but by doing this, then they would be leaving their brothers and sisters who are locked, so the idea of escaping is very repulsive.
Especially to Lucifer, who is known as the Prince of Pride, since running away from here would hurt his Pride greatly.
Then what about the previous retreat to Hell?
He just acts as if it is a tactical retreat.
Anyway, back to the conversation.
Hearing Lucifer's question, calmed Azazel and made him stop to collect his thoughts before relaying them to his laid-back brother.
"Lucifer, The thing that led all the societies here, the Universe started to show some signs, and all the top powerhouses are getting ready, to either participate or to simply wait and see," said Azazel after collecting his thoughts.
Hearing this Lucifer laid back attitude disappeared and his face turned serious, but even with a serious face, his face still holds all the arrogance in the Universe.
"How sure are you of this information?"
"60%, there are some movements from the other races."
"Hmm."
Lucifer hummed in silence for a while, before opening his mouth.
"Got it, don't worry, I will make my move, but by doing this, the always calm Hell will start to get murky."
"What are you going to do?"
"I will just make someone else do our job," said Lucifer with a sinister smile.
Seeing this smile, Azazel knew that Lucifer must have an effective way.
After that, they spent the next few hours discussing other things.
Now we leave the Seventh circle of Hell, and go back to the world of the Living, more specifically to the United States.
In Star University.
"Hey, why are you following me for a while now?" a sliver-haired young man asked a blonde-haired young girl that has been following him for a while now.
"Why are you irritated to have a beauty such as myself following you?" asked the blonde-haired woman with a smile.
The silver-haired body just snorted in annoyance and continued walking, as for the blonde-haired girl just kept her smile and kept following behind him.
Those two as you might have guessed are Max and Hayley.
The two shouldn't have met right now, but when Ava signed up Hayley here at the University, their meeting happened much earlier.
Anyway, we will have to go for a few hours in the morning to know what happened.
