The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2774  Welcome to Hell

"Under my tutelage, you shall become Death and Destruction, Absolute over Mortality, holder of the Throne of Hell." The creature with the female voice said in an unmistakable tone, forcing Minos to accept her words while on his knees, as a black crown landed on his head.

Minos tried to get out of that existence's grip, but her powers were too much against him. With only his energy and innate power, he could do nothing against the black creature.

The black crown passed over his head and entered his soul, making Minos feel his surroundings tremble terribly as something seemed to split his soul in half.

As he clenched his teeth and tried not to cry out in pain, the black creature took a step backwards as a golden figure appeared next to Minos.

"Devdar," the black being murmured in a tone that didn't sound the least bit frightened. But there was an undeniable respect in that word.

"Qhava," said the voice of the True Celestial, while Minos felt as if the appearance of that existence had something to do with the split going on inside his soul right now.

On one side, the True Celestial, Devdar, from the Upper Realm, stood, carrying the Incorruptible Heart, while on the other, the malicious creature from Hell stood with her black crown.

"You have the nerve to show me a projection of yourself. But since you've come to Hell's door, I'll give you a taste of immortal darkness!" said the black woman as she raised one of her hands, and black flames spread like a vortex towards Devdar.

The True Celestial's expression turned ugly. Even though the creature in front of him wasn't on the same level as him, he was in a hostile environment. He tried to counter the enemy by raising a divine shield in front of him, while subtly alternating the passage of time. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

'Pretend you're going to accept her inheritance. That won't be bad for you. Unfortunately, I can't protect you from the road ahead. You've already crossed the threshold into Hell. Now only you can escape from this place. The laws here are different. Be careful.'

The True Celestial communicated with Minos while his body was filled with darkness, degrading at a ridiculous speed.

Minos barely expressed an opinion or think about what was happening when Devdar's golden body exploded.

Minos experienced a sharp pain in his chest, realizing that his Incorruptible Heart would not easily recover from the recent events.

'Shit...'

His eyes darkened, and he felt his soul being taken over by darkness, momentarily noticing a new spiritual connection joining his body in his head.

A black crown lodged itself in his spirit, transforming into something opposite to the parts of True Celestials already lodged in his existence.

But while the Incorruptible Heart and the Nautilus' Compass were more related to his body, this black crown was entirely related to his soul.

"From now on, you are a disciple of Hell, apprentice of Qhava."

Minos blacked out completely straight away, feeling his body crash against something, and then the sensation of being submerged filled his thoughts.

An indecipherable time passed amid a myriad of feelings and sensations.

He remembered the greatest pains of his existence.

The death of his father right in front of him as he left the academy in the capital of the Brown Kingdom so many years ago. The death of friends, like Mirya and Viola, when they were massacred and killed in a surprise attack. Several of his losses, friends and subordinates who fought for his cause made him feel hot, as if his body was inflating with something.

Then, when tears seemed to flow from his body of spirit, the scene of the tragic death of Isabella, his wife murdered by one of the Gods of the Mechanic Empire, made him explode, his desire for the blood and death of all living beings.

When he opened his eyes, now no longer golden but blood red, Minos exploded into darkness. His clothes turned into a flaming black cloak, while his skin became a few shades darker. His eyes grew deeper and his nails increased in size on his hands and feet.

He didn't display his glorious seraphim wings in this strange place, nor did he display the ability to use any of his powers other than his innate ability. But his hair, brown earlier, had once again turned white, while a black crown formed on his head.

The water surrounding him evaporated in an instant, as the black woman watched him with a smile on her face, welcoming him to hell.

"Welcome to your new home, my disciple. You are now to be called Undar, The Obscure, 33rd Candidate for the Throne of Hell," she said as she gestured forcefully, not hiding her powerful level 127 aura.

Minos bowed of his own accord and, in a tone full of anger and hostility, said, "Guide me, Master Qhava. Allow me to taste the blood of the impure!"

She could almost feel his desire to kill directed at himself, which had already caught her attention earlier and now seemed even more promising.

"Hahaha, splendid." She laughed mischievously as she ignored the surroundings of what appeared to be a black lake, similar to the one Minos had seen before entering the mirror dimension.

This place, however, had a red star fixed in one position, from which most of the territory was eternally dim.

The place was immense. It looked like a land abandoned by time and had no living beings like those Minos had become accustomed to on his journey. All that was there were mountains that seemed endless, black rivers and much, much energy.

Minos didn't care what the place looked like when he received Qhava's permission to move. However, he looked to the north and saw a white glow in the sky, and even in a different state, he felt curious.

"Don't look too closely at the Reincarnation Wheel or you'll have your soul extinguished, Undar. You are now my disciple and heir, but don't misunderstand. You're weak and shouldn't underestimate Hell," she advised him as she prepared to leave. "In any case, you will learn what you need to learn to live here.

From now on, you will follow the infernal contest and join the macabre forces behind the Gates of Hell!"

Devilish black dogs, with red eyes and partially deformed bodies, appeared from black holes in that area, and soon the two were in a chariot that burned as it went.
