Ash's first reaction when he landed was to look around. He found that he was alone and he immediately collapsed on the grass, holding his head with a look of pain on his face.

Because all his attention was drawn to those two bastards, Igula and Harvey, Ash was only concerned with using the last bit of time to show off to them, but he forgot that he was not alone!

He didn't pull the Death Maniac into the portal!

When he thought that the Death Maniac was still in the completely submerged Black Hell, Ash felt panicked. He looked down at the back of his hand which only had one calamity, and was as anxious as a fat man in a hot pot. Suddenly, he slapped himself hard on the center of his eyebrows and fell backwards on the grass.

"Do you want to knock the water out of your brain?"

Ash opened his eyes and looked up, seeing a pair of straight long legs wearing black steel boots, leggings under the swordsman skirt, and snow-white thighs that looked full of strength. Death Maniac slowly squatted down and blew a round of smoke rings towards his face: "I suggest you slap yourself, it should be more effective in correcting your IQ."

Ash immediately sat up and stared at her blankly: "Why are you here too? Didn't I pull you into the portal?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Death Maniac tilted his head and smiled, "But I don't think I ever asked you to pull me into the portal with you, right?"

"As long as you have the Aurora's Sorcerer's Manual, I will always be by your side. I will follow you wherever you go."

Ash breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "I thought you stayed in Black Drop..."

"If a mere hell can allow you to escape, how can we replace you?" Death Maniac stood up lazily.

Ash suddenly reached out and hugged her. Si Kuang subconsciously took a step back, and Ash passed directly through her phantom.

"What?" The death madman looked alert, "Want to sneak attack me? Do you want to get beaten?"

"Did you see that? I found them!" Ash paced back and forth excitedly, saying happily, "They're not dead yet! I still have a chance to rescue them from hell! I always worry about those two bastards, but it turns out they're not missing any limbs, and they seem to be doing pretty well... Wait, they're not doing better than me, are they? I can't accept that!"

"But I haven't seen them for a few months and they are still as stupid as ever. They haven't made any progress at all. It's really..." The cult leader stamped his feet fiercely, breathing shallowly and fast. He seemed to be much lighter and laughed softly, "That's great."

Ash turned around and looked at Death Maniac, opened his arms and stepped closer, hugging him gratefully. This time Death Maniac did not dodge, but just turned his head away with a look of disgust, as if he was doing business reluctantly.

"Thank you." Ash hugged her for a moment and then let go, saying sincerely.

"It's not like I'm helping you find them," Death Maniac snorted coldly, "Besides, they're just not dead yet. What's there to be happy about? Maybe the Forsaken will kill them all in a few days."

This person is really awkward, I am grateful that she is also sharp-tongued... Ash was not angry. Although they had not been together for a long time, he had already understood the character of the death maniac. Perhaps because of his sufficient experience with Sonia and Nia, Ash keenly discovered that the death maniac had the same behavior pattern as them - a stress response to kindness.

If Sonia is a kitten, whose reaction to kindness is to act coquettishly and possessively, then Nia is a little hedgehog, who doubts that she is unworthy of kindness so she responds with thorns. And Si Kuang is even more powerful. She is simply a porcupine. No matter whether it is with good intentions or bad intentions, she will poke you full of holes first!

Although Death Maniac is the most aggressive, she may be the one with the simplest thinking - it sounds incredible, but it will become clear if you think about it carefully. Sonia and Nia will hide their thoughts due to various concerns, and Death Maniac has lived for a long time, witnessed too much destruction, and experienced too much despair. There is nothing she needs to care about in this world. She can kill anyone she wants, and she doesn't even need to give face to the Source Angel when she comes. Naturally, there are fewer entanglements in her heart, and she is more lazy and straightforward.

In this case, Ash changed the subject. He turned his head to look at the magnificent night view in the distance and asked, "Is this the fourth level of hell?"

Under the dark sky, the mountains and fields were covered with fireworks that illuminated the entire earth. The burning night was reflected on the slowly flowing river, which was dazzling.

"Three thousand miles of fire trees and silver flowers, eight hundred layers of wandering night." Death Maniac said, "This is the territory of Nevernight, one of the middle-level forces in Fantasy Hell. But it doesn't mean much to you. Fire trees and silver flowers are fire resources, and Wandering Night is a dark magic resource. You don't have much need for either... and Nevernight is still in the hands of the demigods. If you want to plunder, you have to wait until the next exploration. When the Forgotten have killed them all, you can bury this layer of hell."

Ash looked up at the sky: "Even the night sky was created by a demigod?"

"To be more precise, the entire Nevernight Heaven, including every blade of grass, every tree, the sky and the earth, are all fantasy creations of the Nevernight Heaven demigod." Death Maniac introduced: "The biggest feature of the Fantasy Hell is that it allows demigods to "define the world."

"Define the world?"

"We are now in the Never-Night Land, so you can see Never-Night Land, because it has been fixed by the demigods as 'Fire Trees and Silver Flowers Never-Night Land.'" Death Maniac said, "But if you are in a public area that has not been fixed, you may see sunny prairies, quiet forests, rice fields with flowers blooming in spring... Your will will define the image of hell, and the world will reflect your most beautiful fantasy of the environment, so this place is called 'Fantasy Hell.'"

Ash was stunned, but soon realized a loophole: "But won't the public areas also be defined by other demigods?"

"Yes, so the same place may be a hot spring in your eyes, but may be molten lava in the eyes of the fire demigod. It is also possible that the light demigod sees a treasure with thousands of radiant flames, but in your eyes it is just an ordinary stone." Death Maniac said: "So the fourth level of hell is also called the "Hell of Foolishness". Most demigods can only see the side they want to see, and can never see the real world."

"'Foolish Hell' is the layer with the richest and densest magical resources among the six layers of hell. It is also the layer with the highest intensity of demigod wars. The reason for this is that the resources here exist in two forms, namely 'illusions' and 'real things'. "

"'Illusions' are resources that all demigods can see, but the same illusion is different in the eyes of different demigods, and it is also the most scarce and most needed key resource for them. Therefore, demigods often start wars to fight for illusions."

"'Real objects' are similar to ordinary resources, but there is a small difference - you can only discover real objects when the world you imagined is highly consistent with the real objects. For example, real water objects can only be discovered by water demigods, because the fantasy world of water demigods is highly consistent with real water objects, while it is almost impossible for fire demigods to discover real water objects."

Ash concluded, "So, there are two ways for fantasy demigods to become stronger. Collecting real objects is safe but rare, while fighting for fantasy objects is dangerous but has more opportunities?"

"That's about right. But collecting real objects isn't much safer." Si Kuang laughed, "If you major in a more popular school of magic, it will be no easier to obtain real objects than phantom objects."

Ash suddenly realized.

The more popular the school of magic that a demigod practices, the more competitors there will be for real objects. For example, real objects from the space school are definitely as difficult to compete for as illusionary objects. After all, all demigods graduate from the Faraway Space, and the space school is a required course.
