I'm a magnetic field madman

11. Hell

Pluto

A planet that exists within the solar system, but is deemed unsuitable and removed from the list of planets due to its insignificance.

Compared to other planets named after Roman gods, the ruler of this afterlife... is far too insignificant and far too hidden among his brothers.

And so this dark and barren planet drifted in orbit far from Earth, untouched and unnoticed.

Until this day, this cold, barren, dark megalith welcomed a long-awaited visitor.

Are you really sure hell is still here?

Haihu landed on this cold, dwarf planet. Small, cold, and desolate—that was his only thought.

There was nothing special about it, nothing particularly novel... In fact, Haihu couldn't sense any aura of ultimate power on this planet.

He glanced at Oga beside him, the silent killer whale...

Their battle ended abruptly... because Haihu found it uninteresting, or rather, he sensed something more interesting.

His youngest son, who had hidden himself away and refused to see him, used his power to envelop the Earth, altering the flow of time between it and the outside world.

He is protecting that planet, or rather, protecting the people on it.

Even after all this time, his kind youngest son remained as nagging and sentimental as ever. And Haihu would never dislike such traits.

Since Haihu's personality is similar to Xiaotong's, how could he dislike the traits his son has that resemble his mother's?

So he ended the battle with Oga, because there was no longer much meaning or fun in it, and Oga also chose to stop.

Give those people a little chance and a final moment of happiness in life.

Perhaps this is a crocodile tears-like act, because in the end they all cannot escape death, so perhaps giving them a painless release now is the most rational, correct, and merciful act.

In short, they decided to go together and see what the other strong people were like.

They weren't planning to do anything underhanded before the war even started; they didn't want to be the kind of people who acted recklessly and without regard for the rules. They simply wanted to see an "old friend."

“He’s right here.” Oga crouched down slightly, his fingers gently tracing the dark rock, and said firmly…

"Hell is right here, but you have no way to see it."

Haihu raised an eyebrow. Oga's words undoubtedly aroused Haihu's strong desire to win. With ultimate power, why couldn't he even find a hidden hell?

Without a word, the Sea Tiger immediately unleashed its ultimate power, covering the entire Pluto region with such precision that it searched for the location of every single quark—

However, he still couldn't find any trace of hell ever existing.

Haihu looked at Oga with a mixture of doubt and a hint of provocative interest. Oga, however, was far less bored than Haihu; he simply disintegrated his own body.

Yes, Oga did not hesitate to completely dismantle this extremely powerful and precious body of an ultimate powerhouse!

Seeing Oga's "suicidal" act, Haihu was first taken aback, then laughed...

"So that's how it was hidden here."

He then revealed that he had also shattered his own body, just like Oga.

At the same time, their primordial spirits immediately detached from their physical bodies.

This time, in the form of pure primordial spirits, Oga and Sea Tiger saw the "entrance" located on Pluto.

Or rather, that incredibly massive "black hole".

From that terrifying black hole, which seemed to devour all light, countless pitch-black tentacles sprouted, most of them extending towards the azure earth...

The rest extended to the far reaches, across the speed of light, to the edge of the Milky Way, and even to the end of the universe.

That black hole is infinitely large, far exceeding its apparent size to the naked eye.

Because anything that can be attracted to him and gets close to him will become infinitely smaller as it gets closer.

And this black hole that devours all light will only attract one thing.

That is the soul.

The primordial spirit after death is the only thing that can enter this place. When they meet certain conditions and are absorbed by it, they will pass through the black hole and arrive in the other world.

Pluto is merely a simple entrance for this black hole to exist in the material world.

As long as certain conditions are met, such as believing in his existence, then flexibility will be captured by those infinitely extending black tentacles.

Even at this very moment, countless creatures on Earth were captured by those dark tentacles, dragged into the darkness amidst screams and fear of the unknown.

"What kind of bizarre, underworld contraptions is he playing with?!"

Haihu looked at the black hole that had devoured and captured countless wailing souls, and raised an eyebrow with interest...

Oga didn't bother to answer; he simply entered the dark and deep passage in the form of a primordial spirit.

Sea Tiger, of course, wouldn't lag behind Oga and rushed in without hesitation.

When they passed through the hazy darkness, what appeared before Sea Tiger and Oga was a giant mirror.

Transparent and pure, this enormous mirror standing here seems to have merged with the space itself, and when Haihu and Oga appeared in front of it, some images began to be reflected in the mirror.

"Hey, what is this thing?"

Haihu looked at himself in the mirror with great interest. He saw his carefree life when he was still the president of the Bai Group, chaotic yet joyful.

He saw himself beating the first man again, and he saw some of the mistakes he had made in the past.

And on the other side, the reflection in the mirror of Oga showed the mistakes he had made.

For example, killing one's own father or something...

Haihu looked at Oga, who stood expressionless beside him. He couldn't see Oga's mirror image, and Oga couldn't see him either.

This seems to be a mirror reflecting their past mistakes... and the presence of something like this here gives this already dark place an even more "dark" feel.

"Oh? They even have entertainment facilities?"

Haihu looked at the tempting catapult that suddenly appeared at his feet... and he didn't seem to have any intention of resisting, but instead let it launch him out instantly!

Haihu then let his primordial spirit fall uncontrollably, passing through the boundless darkness, and finally landing in an unknown place.

The power of his primordial spirit became increasingly concentrated, and when Haihu's primordial spirit completely descended, he pierced through the darkness and saw a chilling space.

It was an incredibly massive mountain, composed of countless sharp blades, each one a hellish blade capable of wounding the very soul.

On that mountain of knives, countless souls wailed as they climbed ever upward! Even with their hands severed by the blades that gripped them, even with their bodies cut open and their internal organs exposed, even with the prospect of being torn to pieces as they tumbled down, they stubbornly continued to climb toward the top.

They continued to climb, wailing and crying, as if they would suffer an even more tragic fate if they did not.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this scene is really realistic. I wonder if there are any Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Black and White Impermanence or anything like that?"

Haihu watched the torturous scene with great interest, seeing one sinful soul after another struggling to climb upwards after enduring the agonizing torment of this mountain of knives, or unable to bear the pain and falling downwards.

But there was nothing interesting here that Haihu had imagined.

There are no Ox-Head and Horse-Face demons, no Black and White Impermanence. None of those mythical creatures exist here. There are only countless fallen sinful souls, stubbornly climbing amidst painful struggles and wails.

What are they afraid of?

Haihu looked up at the top of that mountain of knives. Among the countless tormented souls, only a very few could climb over all that suffering...

And incredibly fortunately, his body wasn't completely torn apart before he reached the top in pieces.

Then, they will be swallowed by the darkness and disappear without a trace.

Is their destination the next purgatory? Or have they ascended to the so-called "heaven"?

The top was quite interesting, and the bottom was also very appealing to the sea tiger. Because if this place was hell, then the "supervision" that urged sinners to atone for their sins was clearly more important than the reward of climbing over the difficult path.

He looked at a primordial spirit, the soul of a Vietnam War veteran who had died, wailing as it rolled down the mountain of knives!

His primordial spirit was instantly sliced ​​into hundreds of pieces by the blade of hell, and then reassembled itself in extreme pain.

"Croak, croak!!"

The extreme pain and disaster had long since robbed this fragile soul of all thought... yet he still stubbornly and laboriously climbed upwards...

It was as if, compared to the agony of being torn to pieces, an even more tragic fate awaited him.

Haihu crossed his arms and tilted his head slightly before falling into the black mist below... After being swallowed by the black mist, he continued to fall layer by layer.

Each level is a different kind of hell, and each level is a different kind of terror.

This place is like a torture playground set up by an extremely psychopathic individual. Any spirit that falls into this place will have to endure all kinds of torture that can easily cause the mind to collapse.

They wailed, these souls struggling upwards, but no matter what, they dared not go down, dared not fall.

The sea tiger continued to fall until it reached the deepest part of this mysterious and indescribable space, plunging into absolute darkness.

It seems that this is the bottom of everything, a void where all things have completely perished.

"So, this is hell within hell?"

Haihu asked in a low, amused voice, even though the darkness here was so dense that even the strongest expert couldn't break through it, Haihu could still sense that Oga was right beside him...

"This is the so-called Avici Hell? Did Hell get so bored that it built such a large-scale theme park?"

Is Hell such a person? Is he someone who hates evil, detests ugliness and wrongdoing, and wishes to torture those who have committed mistakes and sins with unparalleled cruelty?

No, he may hate evil and despise wrongdoing, but he would never deliberately torment others.

He created a hell in this world. What was his purpose?

What can he possibly gain from this?

Oga's old rival may have undergone some changes in the past 300,000 years... and whatever the answer may be, this time, it should be obtained from this dark abyss.

Oga silently opened his palm, and a faint glow slowly emanated from it...

The ultimate power representing life allowed him to rebuild his physical body in this purgatory of the primordial spirit.

As the light, distinct from that of the primordial spirit, gradually dispelled the absolute darkness, other things began to emerge.

This is not absolute nothingness; something still exists here, or rather... a soul.

There were so many of them, stretching endlessly from before them to the distant horizon... but the scene that appeared before Haihu and Oga was anything but pleasant.

Countless souls had long since collapsed in this absolute darkness, their bodies frozen like corpses, piled upon each other in countless layers... like dead fish overlapping in an endless purgatory.

And they... are all strong in magnetic fields.

12. His Hell and Heaven

In this universe where the primordial spirit exists, the demise of the physical body and consciousness never signifies death, but merely a transformation into another form of life.

As long as the primordial spirit and soul are not completely shattered, it is merely entering a phase of a long cycle. Under the rules established by the Great Power, it flows into the ocean of souls.

Just as a life, after it dies, is gradually decomposed by microorganisms... its total mass is gradually transformed into other components of the universe, thus surviving in another form.

There is never true death; everything is merely a transformation of form.

Of course, from the perspective of ordinary people, losing oneself and losing consciousness is true death. This may indeed be true, because the souls of ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to be "reincarnated."

Because a soul that lacks power and is not "self-aware" enough will quickly lose all self-awareness after being freed from the constraints of the body and merge into the vast sea of ​​souls.

The ultimate powerhouses disregard life so much because they have long since transcended this cycle and reincarnation, and have become beings who can maintain their absolute self no matter what.

There is no heaven or hell, only the world and them.

Is it possible for someone to intercept these souls and primordial spirits that are flowing into the cycle of great power?

The answer is, of course, yes.

Regardless of the ultimate powerhouses, even those who are not ultimate powerhouses but specialize in the power of the primordial spirit can change the cycle of death the moment they comprehend and sense the power of the primordial spirit.

In the past, Bai Wujie saved Donna and Guan Yuetong in this way, and he was able to do so because he was a powerful messenger.

Among all the powerful figures, there was one who, even without the support of a great power behind the scenes, still possessed the understanding and mastery of the power of the primordial spirit!

That is hell.

He innovated upon the profound meanings of the Bodhidharma Sutra, and when he created the Sword of Hell, he vaguely figured out how to harm the primordial spirit.

When he fully created and mastered the astonishing ultimate move of the God of War in Hell, the primordial spirit was no longer a secret to him.

Unraveling the mysteries of the womb, life soars and never dies!

He is currently in seclusion on Pluto, where he has created a special space that lives up to his name on this dwarf planet.

A hell that intercepts those souls flowing toward the Great Power!
