Overgeared

Satisfy’s hell was different from the eight hells that people commonly thought of. There was the sky and the ground and day and night. Thanks to their nature, some demonkin formed a civilization. In Satisfy, it was easy to think of hell as a world ruled by demons, not humans. It was just dangerous because there was no concept of morality or laws. All sorts of unethical things occurred throughout hell except for a few safe zones. The slaughter was brutal and matched its name of hell.

“I’m nervous,” Piaro confessed honestly. “Hell... The place where the souls of those who build up sin throughout their lives fall. It is said that the souls will suffer terribly to pay the price for their sins, reflect on themselves, and cleanse themselves. There are also some souls that will become evil spirits. It might not be true with His Majesty, but those who visited hell without the blessing of the goddess of light will be possessed by an evil spirit. Can we be active in hell without the blessing of the goddess?”

It was extremely rare for a human to go to hell alive. It was safe to say there were almost none. Of course, Piaro hadn’t been to hell. Therefore, he could only blindly believe in the wrong information.

Mercedes carefully advised him, “Piaro, you have seen and heard for yourself that the gods we believed in aren’t correct.”

In order to be safe in hell, there must be the blessing of the goddess of light. In other words, the goddess of light was omnipotent everywhere in the world. Of course, the Rebecca Church was the source of these unfounded claims.

“The hell that Piaro knows is the hell described by the Rebecca Church and the Rebecca Church isn’t credible. The actual hell will be different.”

Mercedes had been a member of the Rebecca Church since the Rebecca Church had been the national religion of both the Saharan Empire and Overgeared Kingdom, but that wasn’t the case anymore. There was Zikfrector, who rebelled against the gods to protect the world, and Sariel, the archangel who was expelled for discussing the sins of the gods. She heard their stories and couldn’t trust Rebecca and the Rebecca Church.

“Um...” Grid closed Leraje’s diary that he had been reading and faced Piaro and Mercedes. “Mercedes is right. It is possible to survive in hell even without the blessing of the goddess. For example, accumulate demonic energy or get the help of the Demon Slayer... additionally, I’ve been to hell several times and have never seen an evil spirit.”

There were 30 minutes left until Yura’s scheduled arrival time. He could afford to hang out and have a conversation, but he had no intention of just talking. Rather than reading the diary, Grid started to control the God Hands directly. Grid dispersed his consciousness to improve the hunting efficiency of the God Hands while talking to Piaro and Mercedes.

The monsters started dying at a noticeably faster rate. The conversation was also progressing. This level of versatility was too easy for today’s Grid. The accumulated talent eclipsed the absence of talent.

“Still, it is hard to see the Rebecca Church’s claim as completely wrong. Hell is as wide as the West Continent and the types of demonkin are more diverse than the species there. Maybe there is a place in hell where the souls of the dead are governed. There could be evil spirits.”

In fact, some demons collected the souls of the dead as loot. To be exact, they were the souls of the dead after signing a contract with the great demons. Pagma’s soul that had been screaming in Baal’s grasp... Grid had witnessed it.

“If we see an evil spirit... won’t it be dangerous without the blessing from the goddess?” Mercedes seemed somewhat nervous at Grid’s words. Like Piaro, she was different from usual. It wasn’t bad. Hell was an extremely dangerous place. Grid had been to hell a few times but it was still an unknown place. Every zone had its own environment and characteristics so it was impossible to adapt to or predict it. It was good for these two people to have appropriate tension.

Grid turned to look at his other messengers. Nefelina was haggling with Rabbit to increase the food she would receive in exchange for going to hell and Zikfrector was sleeping in the middle of the path with a quilt. Braham was harassing Sariel, saying he needed to investigate the angel’s ability to neutralize magic.

Did it look like a group of people just about to go to hell? There was no tension at all...

“The possibility of danger is very high. It is impossible to fight against evil spirits without divine power. We happen to not have divine power.”

In the first place, the concept of divine power was vague. No religion could generate divine power apart from the Rebecca Church, Judar Church, and Dominion Church. Typically, most people thought that divine power came from a god’s divinity, but in Satisfy, divine power was no different from something exclusive to Rebecca. Considering the myth that even Judar and Dominion received light from her, divine power was a concept close to Rebecca’s personal power.
