Myriad Devils-Chapter 333: Bleeding Cave Space

Anon sat opposite Astaria, on a stone seat.

The table before him showed myriad scenes of landscapes and battles.

There was a hilly desert, a shattered land segmented by rivers of blood and corpses with volcanoes spewing blood, and even a pristine snow field.

Within were entities who held great power.

"Fiend God Armor," when he muttered this name, wanton desire flashed through his eyes.

This was a Heavenly Supreme Armament.

"The 33rd Heavenly Abode, Bleeding Caved Space." Astaria said, "It’s a layered space, so it’s separated into six layers. You won’t be able to enter the first layer where mortal existence resides. The sixth layer has no other entities besides Primary-Level creatures and the rulers."

Anon’s eyes were partly closed.

The first and sixth layers didn’t interest him for differing reasons.

One did not stir his curiosity, and the other did not have anything he needed. Anyway, he could not enter them even if he wanted to.

"Realm Heavens have long stopped appearing in the Bleeding Caved Space. The natural treasures born from the fortuity of Heaven & Earth in this world are Heavenly Armaments. When Heavenly Armaments are born, they appear in pieces that make up a whole once the set is complete." Astaria explained.

"All Heavenly Armaments have one or more pieces existing in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th layers. The fated creature, upon acquiring the core piece as a realm father, could discern the location of the other pieces as they ascend layers."

"Sometimes, the core piece of a Heavenly Armament is located in the upper layers rather than the second layer, but if one doesn’t have the other pieces from the lower layers, then they can only sigh in dismay and give it up."

Astaria paused, smiled mischievously, and then continued, "Of course, they can also retrieve that core piece and wait for a creature(s) carrying the other piece(s) to ascend into their layer."

"The 2nd layer has the most core pieces in comparison to any other layer in the Bleeding Caved Space. However, even though the four great forces have desired to devour these resources, they are almost helpless in the face of this." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Retrieving any one core piece is a difficult matter, and some core pieces are labeled as unretrievable." She said, "This is because of the Bleeding Caved Spaces nature and world suppression. The first layer houses mortal existence, so no otherworldly creature can enter."

"When mortals achieve otherworldly status, they are forced to ascend to the second layer, where it is predominantly cosmos forgers and realm fathers."

"Since realm fathers dominate the second layer, and some core pieces need strength beyond the Ten Folds to retrieve, these Heavenly Armaments are given the title, Unretrievable."

Anon fully opened his eyes and looked at the scenes displayed on the table’s surface. After a while, he raised his head and shot a quizzical gaze toward his wife.

Seemingly understanding his gaze, her lips parted slightly, and she explained.

"The second layer is overseen by the Ruler, Universe Suppressing Mountain Master, and his great force, the Sky Drifting Mountain."

"The Sky Drifting Mountain dominates an entire region in the second layer, and has power in the other territories of this layer as well."

"However, each of the four great forces has stationed itself in all layers, so there exist branches of the other great forces in the territories of this second layer as well."

"These are only branches; nevertheless, the Sky Drifting Mountain wouldn’t easily cross them, even though its main base is stationed on this layer."

"Not only is it because they have branches in the other layers as well, but more importantly, due to the world suppression present in the Bleeding Caved Space, in the second layer, realm fathers dominate."

"And that’s the problem."

"The great forces have bent the rules of the Bleeding Caved Space in their favor, to a degree."

"For example, the existence of Dimension Lords in the second layer has been prohibited by the Bleeding Caved Space’s consciousness."

"Only cosmos forgers and realm fathers are allowed to reside here, but I said that it is predominantly cosmos forgers and realm fathers because there are still Dimension Lord creatures residing in the second layer."

"The great forces have a cosmic treasure known as a ’sacred hall’ in the lower layers, where their Dimension Lords can evade the world’s suppression."

"In the third layer, where Secondary-Level creatures are prohibited from residing, these sacred halls can obscure the investigation of the world’s suppression as well."

"The Dimension Lords that have descended from the upper layers can’t step out of these sacred halls; however, because these sacred halls are stationed in the bases of the great forces, no realm father poses a threat to any of the great forces’ bases stationed in these layers."

"Although the sacred halls are useless in the fourth and fifth layers, where Primary-Level creatures are prohibited from descending into, the great forces have created another cosmic treasure they labeled as ’Incarnation Idol’, allowing the descent of Primary-Level creatures."

"These Incarnation Idols aren’t as limiting as the sacred halls in terms of movement, but there are other limitations."

The 33rd Heaven, Bleeding Caved Space, contained numerous mysteries and dangers.

Astaria had only begun introducing the world to him.

For him to manipulate Fate, Destiny, and Inevitability, he first needed great knowledge and a deep understanding of the world’s structure and the inherent nature of the creatures that resided within.

Thereafter, the more future possibilities he took into account when weaving these three principles, the greater their effect would become.

Most importantly, he needed to have a deep understanding of each future possibility and the creatures that were at play.

Manipulating the fates of realm fathers was a simple matter.

Even he could read the thoughts of the average realm father at a glance, much less Astaria.

The amount of knowledge she was able to discern was infinitely greater than any ability he had to achieve the same effect.

However, the abstract soul was a complex matter, and the stronger the willpower contained within that abstract soul, the more complex this matter became.

Though Astaria could deduce their natures, for example, how they would react in certain situations to create certain possibilities and discern which possibility was more likely to materialize, who was to say that it was their true nature?

Anon’s core of thoughts was a mystery to the Tenebrisculis, a member of the Astral Void race, which were particularly adept at observing.

One must remember that his willpower wasn’t anywhere close to the fourth level, but the complexities of the abstract soul made it almost impossible even for the paradisical soul to decipher the true core of thoughts.

So what about these existences who had Level Five Willpowers contained in their abstract souls?!

Each entity was unique, and so, their abstract souls were as well.

For Astaria, it was an intricate matter, but the duo observed the 33rd Heaven, in preparation and in scheming, spying on the future and weaving possibilities.
