Chapter 58 Control the Underworld! 【Ask Monthly Ticket】
underworld.
This plane was once also called the [Realm of Obscurity].
When mortals die, their souls are drawn into the Obscure Realm. Most expanses of the plane are flat, gray, dull, and monotonous, with no distinct topographical features.
The Obscure Realm has the following properties:
1. Stable.
2. Suppression of magic: All magic is suppressed. (The difficulty of casting spells increases, and the effect of casting spells decreases.)
The underworld exists in a special space in the multiverse. At death, the souls of mortals naturally travel from the Material Plane to the Underworld through the River Styx, but they hardly do so of their own volition. A servant of a god can come here from the domain of the god (the kingdom of God) and bring back the soul that really belongs to the god he serves back to the kingdom of God. Due to the agreement between the devil and Kelemvor, the nine hells have portals leading to the underworld, and demon lords sometimes create portals from the bottomless abyss to come here. In both cases, daemons can use these portals to bring souls back to their planes.
The astral world cannot go directly to the underworld, and one must go to the spirit world and pass through the river Styx.
Most of the inhabitants of the underworld are the souls of the dead, waiting to be transported to the plane of their gods. These souls are petitioners who lack the characteristics of the realm. They have no immunity, resistance or special properties. The souls of the unbelievers form a living wall outside the city of judgment (the wall of the unbelievers), and the hypocrites are punished by labor in the city. They are sometimes tortured by demons.
The only distinguishing feature of this rather mundane plane is the Crystal Tower, the crystalline realm of Kelemvor and Jergal, which stands in the center of the City of Judgment.
The city is gray, dull, and crowded with the dead on trial.
The Crystal Tower is a shining tower of transparent rock, known as the Citadel of Bones when Cyric was Death, but Kelemvor transformed it into a symbol of his promise to judge the dead openly and equally.
The underworld itself is not very big.
But it is the source of the river Styx and the transit point of countless souls.
Whether it is the gods of the good camp or the gods of the evil camp, they will eventually transfer the souls of believers to the interior of the kingdom of God from here. This is an ancient agreement between the death pantheon and other gods. To some extent, the god of death must maintain a neutral attitude, because even the devil has a corresponding contract with the god of death.
This is the multiverse view of good and evil.
But there are many people in mortal things who should go to Baator hell and the abyss after death.
but!
Whether it is the gods or the god of death, there is a completely intolerable existence, and that is - [Soul Stealer]!
They are a group of madmen who defy order.
These people have almost no principles at all. Whether it is a good soul or an evil soul, they are wealth to them. They steal these souls and sell them to other planes, completely ignoring the concept of good and evil in the multiverse. Because of the existence of soul stealers, even a kind-hearted paladin may fall into the abyss of hell after death.
If the order collapses, the rules will no longer exist.
In exchange for the assistance of the devil, Naraku sold these souls.
It is conceivable that for a long period of time in the future, the gods will need the servants of other worlds to retrieve the souls taken away by the devil, because they always have some believers who need to be redeemed, rather than being forgotten somewhere in the lower plane.
This is the duty of the gods!
When the incarnation of Sauron arrived in the underworld, it was already a ruin full of holes.
The only one that is intact is the crystal tower, because even Asmodeus will not easily challenge Jergal. Countless souls have been plundered by the devil, and Naraku used these souls as chips in exchange for the support of the devil. When Naluo died, most of the death attendants who served him had already fallen, and these were all one with the gods. The entire underworld seemed empty, only some unowned souls were floating around. This time, the death system was almost equivalent to rebuilding. The underworld has undergone a major reshuffle, and the devil is the biggest winner. The City of Judgment is almost empty, but there are still countless souls floating in the river Styx.
Reaper's duty is to protect the order of all this.
As the [King of the Dead], Sauron does not need to judge all souls, only certain important souls are worthy of his delivery.
so.
After coming to this plane, the first thing he needs to do is to create [Death Attendant].
This is another form of angel. Mortals call it [Angel of Death], but Sauron is more accustomed to calling it [Death Attendant]. They are the assistants of the King of the Dead, responsible for judging, transporting, and delivering souls. The powerful dead in the world are also brought back by these servants of death.
——"Summon the Kingdom of God!"
A door of light opened in the center of the underworld, and as Sauron obtained the priesthood of "King of the Dead", petitioners could also reach this plane.
In the golden light.
Some shadow angels flew up from around the Great Temple, they came here through the light gate, and knelt down on one knee towards Sauron's incarnation.
A total of twelve shadow angels.
Nine of them were males, and three were females. Sauron extracted a bit of divine radiance from his forehead, and then injected the divine power into the bodies of these shadow angels with the power of [death].
A total of 36 divinity points.
Accompanied by Sauron's divinity gift, the shadow angels in front of him changed rapidly. They changed their form and turned into the servants of the god of death, and their weapon became a death scythe for harvesting souls. These angels were promoted to [Divine Servant], and they will assist Sauron to restore the operation of the underworld.
"I am the king of the dead! Lord of the end of all things!"
Sauron's majestic voice echoed in the underworld. He pointed his finger at the wisest among the servants of other worlds, and said in a deep voice, "I give you the [Mantra] domain! You will judge the sins of all things on my behalf!..."
What you say is what you say.
The invisible divine power formed the power of law, and the eyes formed by a white light merged into the body of the God Attendant in front of him, and then the first [Judgement Angel] was born.
"I bestow upon you the [Killing] Domain! Let you harvest the souls of the rebels on my behalf!..."
A little bloody light emerged.
Sauron once again took a trace of divinity from the center of his eyebrows, and injected it into the most powerful servant of the otherworldly, that is a female angel, and she quickly transformed into the form of [Angel of Killing].
"I bestow upon you the [Tracking] domain! I will extradite the soul of Styx on your behalf!..."
A little divine brilliance fell.
Sauron selected the most astute among them and gave him the [Tracking] field, and he was responsible for guiding the soul of Styx.
Three rays of light rose.
After Sauron selected the best among them, the three selected [Divine Attendants] were promoted to become [Divine Envoys]. order.
