Carefully avoiding the layer closest to the entrance, Helios made his way deeper into Tartarus.
He felt somewhat relieved that he had arrived early; the material layers seemed to be not completely perfected and did not yet occupy a significant amount in terms of space and time.
If he had arrived any later, it's likely that upon passing through the entrance to the Abyss and the Underworld, he would have directly fallen into the first stratum, rather than appearing within the true depths of the Abyss as he did now.
At that time, for Helios, who had never been to this place before, his only choice would have been to return the way he came. After all, faced with the countless, overlapping different strata, even the God of Sun felt somewhat dazzled.
It was a good thing that there were no native deities in the Abyss; otherwise, even if each stratum gave birth to just one territorial god, Helios thought the sight would have been sufficiently terrifying.
