Chapter 1197 - Netherworld, Hell, And Transmigration

I was about to get the explanation of things I barely understood, things Mammon and Plutus were talking about which I couldn't even get but that sounded very important and rather intriguing, but they didn't told me anything at the end rather than just more confusion inside of my head, so thanks for that shit…
But what was happening was more important and special as of now. The Necrotic Death Lords from the Netherworld Plane had arrived in hell and had sneaked behind Plutus back, entering the entire place and doing whatever they were doing for strange, and weird motives which I don't get it.
Ah well, actually, I get it. they wanted power and energy, so like me, they probably are trying to extract the demonic energy from the Gates of Hell for themselves. This way they can get a new source of energy.
The thing is, these guys and their entire plane are big rivals of the gates of hell for strange motives- well, not exactly strange. Mammon explained to me that they were trying to extract energy from hell to gain more power, and that their rivalry with hell comes because both planes extract souls from the Universe through special means.
Some go to the netherworld and others to hell, I don't know what discerns this but they said it was absolutely random, even a big sinner can end in the Netherworld Plane anyways so there is no salvation for them other than that… though they had also mentioned some of them went to the heaven plane, another plane for souls, but the ones that had done the good stuff and good deeds.
This is clearly stupid.
Well, the thing is, this actually exists and is a thing, but the thing is, they also distribute them with the reincarnation cycles spread across the universe made by someone called Samsara, which is the father of Hekaton, a Transmigration God that had reincarnated Ervas and Veronica into Kritias back then, they hate him a lot because of the dumb mistake she commits and how whenever he tried to solve them, he fucked things up even more.
Anyways, this is not the talk about a useless transmigration god, but about how there are many forces in the entire Universe that distribute the flow of Souls across everywhere and grow rivalries and even outright hate against one another because of this.
I tried to ask him more before accepting her request.
"Well yeah, the Universe is filled with these damn Transmigration Cycles made by Transmigration Gods, who are all the children of an idiot named Samsara, who is pretty strong, I have to admit it," said Mammon.
"Samsara… I've already heard of him, yeah… So there is his faction draining souls, and then this plane, heaven, and the netherworld…? Is there any other soul-draining place I have yet to know about?" I asked.
"Well, yeah, there are several other planes that like to drain souls from our world, and even certain areas in the Universe which have a high concentration of vacuum energy drain souls into the worlds there… I think there are a few parallel worlds with Yggdrasil stuff on them that constantly and randomly drain souls out of the nearby transmigration cycles, reincarnating people there with Unique Skills due to the differences in the levels of energy in those unstable areas of the Universe." Said Mammon.
"Wow… Alright. I guess this is just a big conflict of interests at the end… And I gotta slay these skull-faced fellows, right? Seems easy enough, alright, I'll do it… You better reward me well there, though." I said.
"I will, you won't go without being rewarded handsomely, Kireina-chan. However, time is tickling and look what's these bastards are doing." Mammon said, as he suddenly conjured a screen made out of demonic energy, showing the images of around five skeletons wearing black robes and exuding enormous and powerful auras, although very weakened due to the pressure of this plane over their core power. The Skeletons were with a giant monster, an Archdemon Avatar they had raised into an Undead and made a contract with, using it as the anchor of themselves into this world…
All of them were around a large area of this Layer where there were massive amounts of Demonic Energy gathered into a gigantic crystalline mountain range made of red crystals, named Demonite Mountains, they were conjuring their Necromancy and even Daos resonated out of their movements and conjurations.
They were constructing a massive building made out of flesh and bones, which spread upwards and to the sides, extracting demonic energy and slowly converting it into usable energy for themselves. The skeletons were probably planning in repurposing this energy to make themselves into Archdemons too, materializing it into powerful Archdemon Demonic Cores like the ones I got, or my family has.
That's certainly not good, sounds like a bad thing to happen… if they can get cores by themselves, they won't be as weakened by Hell, which will make them hard to kill and they might become real and actual threats to this Plane. We have to quickly put a stop to them and their weird building.
"As you can see, they raised a corpse of an avatar of our archdemons and then tamed it into their own monster pet or something. They're using it as their anchor to this world, those bastards… Now they want to build a strange building here to extract demonic energy from here and absorb it into their bodies and souls so they can fuse it with their filthy Necrotic Energy and make up shit, real bad shit. I could go there and slap them to death, I believe. But that would only show my weakness to the other Princes of Hell. I need to show them that I got my servants who are strong enough to deal with the filthy little problems that these ants are causing to me. Therefore, you, one of these special ants, will show these other ants what you're made of." Said Mammon while nodding and smiling.
"Who are you calling ant?!" I roared, stretching his cheeks.
"Uuugguuh…! Shtop…!"
