"In some cases, the demon lord won't mind, as their layer is hospitable to visitors and known across many realms where you can trade for knowledge or anything else with other civilizations working together with the abyss lord," Zarvok explained.
Ikenga's interest was piqued. "How do you find such an abyss layer?"
"As I said before, luck—or, in most cases, prior knowledge of the layer and its abyss coordinates, which allows you to go there directly," Zarvok said as he reached for another fruit.
"If the abyss is so helpful to first-time visitors, why do so many still fear visiting it?" Ikenga asked.
Zarvok paused at Ikenga's question. "The abyss doesn't exactly help its first visitors. It only places them in a layer where it's easier to achieve their goals. Whether the goal is achieved or not depends entirely on the visitor, not the abyss."
