In the world of Diablo, Sanctuary, High Heaven and Fiery Hell are physically isolated from each other. High Heaven and Fiery Hell belong to different purgatory spaces, while Sanctuary is sandwiched between Hidden in the gap between the two.
However, due to the existence of the portal, these three places are related to each other in terms of space concept. In other words, theoretically, mortals in the Sanctuary can go to the high-level heaven and the blazing hell.
However, in the thousands of years of history of Sanctuary, the rumors about the high-level heaven and the flaming hell are quite rare, and the descriptions of these rumors are only a rough concept.
If the High-level Heaven prohibits mortals from entering the High-level Heaven because of the arrogance of the angels and their disdain for mortals, then the Blazing Hell excludes weak mortals because of the cruel and terrifying environment. .
Unlike the high-level heavens that have closed most of the portals, the Flame Hell is actually open to Sanctuary. Demons dream of invading the world of Sanctuary, so naturally they will not restrict the exchanges between the Flame Hell and Sanctuary.
On the former site of Trevank's Zakarum Cathedral, there was once the largest Hell Gate to date, located deep underground in the Zakarum Cathedral. Of course, this Hell Gate has now been destroyed. Along with the cathedral, it has been reduced to ruins.
This gate to hell was the portal opened when the three brothers Mephisto Diavolo and Baal were "rebelled" by Andariel and the other four demon kings, and were expelled to the Sanctuary, and finally returned to the Flame Hell. .
The expulsion of the three Mephisto brothers was a conspiracy planned by the Seven Demon Kings. Due to the War of Original Sin, Lilith, one of the creators of Sanctuary, was exiled to the void again, while the other creator Inaris It became a bargaining chip for the High-level Heaven. The angels handed Inaris over to Hell, on the condition that the Flame Hell must be the same as the High-level Heaven and must not enter the world of Sanctuary again.
Obviously, this is an agreement, a contract. The angels noticed the amazing power of the Nephalem and did not want the Nephalem to be used by the demons, so they found a way to make such a contract.
However, they forgot that demons are the best at exploiting loopholes in contracts. Expelled on the pretext of "rebellion", the three Mephisto brothers bypassed the contract with the high-level heaven and were able to enter the sanctuary again. When they corrupted the Zakarum religion and achieved their goal, there was this huge gate to hell in the cathedral.
This door to hell opened by the three demon gods was quite grand and huge. It was originally used to allow the Blazing Hell to invade the Sanctuary on a large scale. However, the demons were not very lucky, and this plan was eventually blocked. The High Heavens found out, and the Nephalem, with the help of Tyrael, worked together to destroy the gate to hell.
If the gate to hell is still there, you can enter the space where the flaming hell is after passing through the portal.
As soon as you come out of the gate of hell, the first thing you see is the demon fortress. This is the outermost part of the flaming hell. Wandering are all kinds of unconventional demons, as well as the souls who died in the eternal war and cannot return. , the Demon Fortress can be said to be the main location where the Fiery Hell faces the enemy in the eternal battle. The angel army of the High-level Heaven has also attacked here countless times. In order to prevent the angels from continuing to attack the depths of the Fiery Hell, the demons They have built a large number of defenses here. Various ferocious and solid barriers with fangs and claws are connected together to stand on the top of the mountain, forming a powerful fortress. This is the origin of the name of the Demon Fortress.
After passing the Demon Fortress, there is the Despair Plains. The Despair Plains belongs to the painful realm of the Flame Hell. It is the area controlled by Queen Andariel of Pain. It is filled with poisonous ashes all day long. Even breathing will make people feel painful, and these pains will Andalil felt very happy.
If Andariel, the Queen of Pain, enjoys mental pain, then what her brother Duriel enjoys is physical pain. That's why Duriel is called the King of Torment. His territory The Place of Torment is adjacent to the territory of Andariel.
Passing through the Plains of Despair and continuing deeper, we reach the City of Punishment. The City of Punishment is almost close to the central area of the Flame Hell. This area once belonged to the edge of the territory of the Lord of Destruction. Baal likes to destroy, and he always builds a lot of buildings. Building magnificent buildings like mortal cathedrals and then destroying them all is just the most insignificant of the Lord of Destruction's many destruction games.
There are bones scattered everywhere in the City of Punishment, and many chained souls are rolling in the darkness. The dark and oppressive ground is cracked in many places, and you can glimpse the river of fire in the next level.
The River of Fire is one of the most iconic areas in the Flame Hell.
This is a vast sea of magma, mixed with winding rock paths. The river of fire seems to be the energy source of the Flame Hell. It is also the core area of the Destruction Realm controlled by Baal. The demons have built many forges here. The furnace uses fire and magma to create demonic weapons with dark power to arm the demonic army.
The source of the River of Fire comes from the depths of the Chaos Demon Palace, the center of the Realm of Fear under the jurisdiction of Diavolo, which is close to the Realm of Destruction.
The Temple of Chaos is Diavolo's hidden residence. Deep underground is the source of the River of Fire. This is a huge cross-shaped building, similar to a broken cathedral, except that this cathedral is surrounded by flames and magma. Then, after countless time passed, lava and blood scorched the outside of the Chaos Demon Palace.
Inside the Chaos Demon Palace, piles of skulls are hidden at the bottom of the walls, and countless skulls are scattered on the floor and piled in the cracks of the walls. The surrounding hot magma, lava, and huge torches standing on the ground give Chaos a The Demon Temple brought a terrifying gleam, illuminating the souls who were chained to the pillars and unable to rest.
The Blazing Hell is not a whole piece like the high-level heaven, but is divided into seven realms. The seven hell realms are isolated from each other by the void. Each realm is an independent space bubble, and each other can be reached through the portal. Each realm is controlled by a demon king, and its environments are also different, but in general, they are all extremely cruel. The environment here is so similar to the abyss world, and I don't know if it was like this when the Flame Hell was formed. , or was gradually transformed into this by the Seven Demon Kings.
The reason why there are so many descriptions is because there is currently a factual situation, that is, the Flame Hell is now full, and the seven demon kings each have their own areas under their control, and there is really no room for an outsider like... Roy!
This is a very funny thing. Mephisto brought Roy as a foreign aid from the abyss world, but he seemed to have never considered how the territory would be divided if Roy wanted to enter the Flame Hell.
This is actually not Mephisto's fault. Even he did not expect that the high-level paradise would collapse so quickly after Roy intervened in this world.
It may also be because the Seven Demon Kings and the High Heavens have been fighting an eternal war in this world for so long. It can be said that the two sides are extremely familiar with each other, and their thinking has formed habits and stereotypes, so they have never been able to fight each other. The winner was determined, and when Roy, an outsider, suddenly intervened, the high-level heavens had no understanding of his power, so when facing Roy, they collapsed.
The High Heaven has been destroyed, and the problem immediately arises, because the Seven Demon Kings regard the Sanctuary as a forbidden place. After all, the Sanctuary has countless souls for them to capture, and there are also powerful Nephalem powers that they can use. The High Heaven Already fallen, Sanctuary was the most delicious fruit of victory within their reach. They couldn't let Roy get his hands on it, so they couldn't let Roy stay in Sanctuary: they were afraid that Roy would sneak away first.
After escaping from the Dark Soul Stone, the Seven Demon Kings are still in the recovery period. They need to recover from the wounds on their souls and reassemble their powerful bodies. Under such circumstances, their strength has weakened. From Roy to attack the high-level heaven Judging from the strength they showed at that time, they had no great chance of winning against Roy alone. On the contrary, in the flaming hell, the seven demon kings could join forces to fight against Roy.
So, after the High-Level Heaven War ended, Mephisto couldn't wait to invite Roy to the Flame Hell as a guest.
The seven demon kings have joined forces to fight against each other in this world and high-level heaven for many years. Although they are a little jealous of each other, overall their friendship is still there, but when facing Roy, an outsider, all the bad things between them are gone. Let it go.
Like the Angus Council formed by the angels, the Seven Demon Kings also formed a loose council called the Hellfire Council. This name is not as famous as the Angus Council. Even many demons in the Burning Hell may not have heard of it. However, to put it bluntly, this council is just a gathering of the Seven Demon Kings to discuss matters. It does not have any rules, regulations or action plan.
The place where the Hellfire Council was held was in Diavolo's Chaos Demon Palace. In a room filled with powerful dark power in the deepest part of the Demon Palace, there were seven huge dark thrones, three above and four below. Arranged in order, each of the seven demon kings has a throne here.
In the diffuse dark mist, the strange bodies of the seven demon kings are looming, and their shining devil eyes are the only source of light in the darkness, making this scene look so eerie and terrifying.
As for Roy, he is sitting next to the three dark thrones above. His throne was added by himself, but the throne is placed side by side with Mephisto and the three demon gods, which explains the problem.
The Hellfire Council has been convened for several days. From the beginning, Andariel and the other four demon kings were dissatisfied with Roy's seat. Only after being beaten by Roy one by one did they accept such a seat. , and then it’s about the next treatment of high-level prisoners of war in heaven. The Seven Demon Kings all know that Tyrell’s soul is now in Roy’s hands. For the Archangel Tyrell of Justice, the Seven Demon Kings hate him more than they hate Imperius. Much more. When Inarius fell into the hands of Mephisto and the others, his eyes were gouged out, his wings were cut off, and his hands and feet were tortured to this day. One can only imagine what would happen if Tyrell fell into their hands. A tragic situation.
However, Roy had two words for the requirements of the Seven Demon Kings: "No!"
For Tyrell, Roy has his own uses, so no matter how the Seven Devils hint, give conditions, or even coerce and induce, Roy has only one attitude, he will never give it!
The Seven Demon Kings talked with Roy for several days, and they all talked dry, but they couldn't make Roy sway at all, so they finally gave up temporarily and asked Roy for another trophy.
This trophy was found in the ruins of the Crystal Arch. It is a key that embodies the powerful power of the Holy Light! After the Seven Demon Kings studied this thing, they found that it turned out to be the real core of the Spine of Anu crystal. After the original huge crystal of the Spine of Anu collapsed, it seemed that the remaining power of the Holy Light finally condensed into this key.
Even Mephisto can't figure out what this holy light key is. The only one who may know about this thing is probably Imperius, but Imperius has self-destructed his soul and died, so what exactly is this thing? It's hard to tell what it's useful for.
However, combined with the origin of the high-level heaven, after some discussion, the Seven Demon Kings felt that this thing might be the key to Eden!
Eden, that is, the Garden of Eden! It is the original place of heaven, the true birthplace of all angels and holy light, and the ultimate highest level of heaven. Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, these famous original archangels are stationed in Eden. middle.
Since heaven is at war with demons in thousands of worlds, various levels of heaven have been derived. These heavens are the secondary military bases of angels, supporting the eternal war between the angel legions and demons.
This was confirmed by interrogating Tyrael's soul. The High Heaven belongs to the next level of paradise below Eden. Even the High Heaven is still connected with Eden. Tyrael once projected from Eden. Roy's name was found in the Book of Truth, which is proof.
However, just as the Seven Demon Kings and others thought, Imperius was the only one in the entire high-level heaven who was responsible for contacting Eden. The contact point was also in the crystal arch, probably with the Spine of Anu. It is related to crystals, but it is unclear whether this Holy Light Key is the key to open the door to the Kingdom of Eden. After all, according to Roy's guess, if the Anu Spine Crystal is really the spine of a certain creature, then It should also be a Star Soul Titan, and a Star Soul Titan with both light and dark powers. Otherwise, it would not correspond to the creation myth of this world.
In Roy's guess, a Star Soul Titan should have been born in this world first. However, this Star Soul Titan wanted to separate the two parts of himself because he wanted to die. As a result, he lost himself. His two powers finally Two purgatory spaces, High-Level Heaven and Fiery Hell, were formed. Angels and demons just discovered this world and moved in. However, because the history of the eternal war is too long, the angels and demons here have a vague style of their own. Therefore, they rarely mentioned the origins of both parties, and ultimately acquiesced in the myth of Anu's creation.
Roy felt that if his guess was correct, then this world might be the "sowing ground" of the Star Soul Titan. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain that after Anu, the Star Soul Titan, the sanctuary gave birth to another tower. Geo is such a new Star Soul Titan.
In short, no matter what this Holy Light Key is, it is one of Roy's current bargaining chips. For this key, he did not hold on to it like he held Tyrell's soul, but promised to take it out. To the Seven Demon Kings, but in return, they have to be exchanged.
After all, if this key can really open the door to Eden, Roy will not have the guts to actually attack Eden Paradise. In addition, if the key opens the door to the birthplace of the Star Soul Titan, it will also be very dangerous. The Seven Demon Kings want to Just let them go if they want to die, Roy doesn't want to get involved.
Since the potential risk of this key is extremely high, Roy does not intend to hold it, not to mention that this thing may have to be used together with the cornerstone of the Blazing Hell: the Hell Furnace, so Roy does not ask for too much. After exchanging a considerable number of souls from the Seven Demon Kings, the keys were given away.
After all of this was done, the main event finally came, which was the issue of the distribution of the pie in Sanctuary.
In fact, when it comes to the level of the Demon King, Mephisto and the others have already looked down upon ordinary souls. The population of Sanctuary is not very high, and the number of souls that can be obtained is naturally very limited. , The Seven Demon Kings shouldn't be so concerned about the place of refuge.
But it is actually wrong to think so. The quality of human souls in the world of Sanctuary can be said to be beyond imagination. In addition to the influence of the Nephalem bloodline, it is also because this world has suffered too many hardships! Just as Tyrell can see the tough and kind qualities of the mortals here who are born under the tribulations, the devil can also see the distortion and darkness in the hearts of the mortals here due to the tribulations!
War is actually the most test of human nature. The world of Sanctuary has been repeatedly baptized by both high-level heaven and flaming hell. It can be said that the human souls here have super high qualities that humans in other worlds cannot have.
Either he is as saintly as Uldyssian, or he is as crazy and twisted as Skeleton King Leoric... In short, the mortal souls of this Sanctuary world are extremely attractive to the Seven Demon Kings.
In the early years, if the Seven Demon Kings invaded Sanctuary only because of the World Stone, then after the World Stone was destroyed, the Seven Demon Kings' covetousness of Sanctuary has also been transferred to the Nephalem.
In particular, Mephisto and the others had all participated in the Battle of Original Sin. They had seen the powerful power erupting from Uldyssian, and they also knew very well that the stronger the power of the Nephalem, the more difficult they faced. Out of control, when the World Stone's restrictions on the Nephalem no longer exist, the Nephalem will be on the verge of losing control as their power grows. After losing control, the Nephalem will lose their humanity. He will completely fall into darkness and become the best thug and tool for the devils!
Imagine what it would be like if Roy went to attack a certain world, with hundreds of thousands of Dante and Vergil behind him, or hundreds of thousands of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?
Not to mention the Seven Demon Kings, even Roy wanted this world a little bit after he figured it out...
So when he saw the extremely greedy expression on the face of the Seven Demon Kings, Roy knew that it was impossible to persuade the Seven Demon Kings to withdraw to the abyss world and leave the sanctuary to himself.
What Roy said to Tyrell before has really become a reality. He may really have to fight the Seven Demon Kings.
It is not uncommon among demons for allies to turn into enemies, so Roy did not participate in the dispute between the seven demon kings over sharing the cake, and just quietly watched them roar at each other.
Of course he would not reveal his thoughts about Sanctuary here, but perhaps his silence seemed a bit abnormal, so Mephisto noticed it. Mephisto roared several times, suppressing the other demon kings. After hearing the voice, he turned to Roy and said: "Osiris, don't you have any ideas about Sanctuary? Don't worry, tell your demands and we will try our best to satisfy you!"
Roy glanced at Mephisto, then looked at Diavolo, Baal, Andariel, Duriel, Azmodan and Belial who were sitting a little below, and sneered: "I don't want to I’m talking because I think it’s meaningless to discuss this now. Mephisto, don’t forget, you saw the return of Lilith in the future clips. As the mother of the Nephalem, you want to To capture Sanctuary, you must pass Lilith. Before you defeat Lilith, all your discussions are empty talk!"
"That's true!" Mephisto nodded and said: "And this is why I brought you from the abyss. Osiris, I am here to promise you on behalf of the Hellfire Council that as long as you work together with us Defeat Lilith, then you will be the one who gets the biggest cake in the distribution of Sanctuary!"
"Let's talk about these other things!" Roy waved his hand, looked at Mephisto with a serious face, and asked: "Tell me honestly, how strong is Lilith...? Is it worth being so afraid of you?"
"..." Mephisto and Diavolo looked at each other in confusion. After hesitating for a moment, they said: "To be honest, I don't know very well. Lilith's previous fighting power was only She is just an ordinary demon king, not even as good as Andariel, but that happened thousands of years ago, and now that she has been exiled in the void for many years, we don’t know what her true strength is..."
"Then why did you call me here seriously?" Roy frowned and asked in confusion.
"Because, in the future clip, I saw... Lilith holding Diavolo's skull!" Mephisto said with a gloomy face: "Not only that, I even saw her killing all our demons. In the picture, I, Diavolo, Baal, and Andariel all died at the hands of Lilith..."
