The Gate of Desire, a demiplane near the ninth level of Baator Hell, is also a direct entrance to the huge cyberpunk city from other outer planes.
Although when it first opened, it was just a place where teleported coordinates from different places were piled up for visitors, travelers and merchants who didn't want to go through other levels.
But over time it started to become prosperous like many trading hubs.
To be precise, it exists as a buffer zone.
Because this place is not strictly a part of Baator Hell, it does not have such strong lawful characteristics.
This makes many people in the neutral or even chaotic alignments feel very comfortable.
Many things that are prohibited in the huge cyberpunk city on the ninth level can be completely liberalized here.
Many gangs, mercenaries and other forces will also choose to resolve some irreconcilable conflicts and grievances here.
In other words, this is a land of outright lawlessness, a city of ambition and ambition whoever has a bigger fist can kill the original ruler and replace him.
The most important thing is that there is only a wide river between the Gate of Desire and the Ninth Level.
Once you cross it, you can immediately enter the land of order and seek shelter from the laws of hell.
So over time, a considerable number of wanted criminals, thieves, robbers, swindlers and other dangerous elements have gathered here, waiting for opportunities.
Sometimes they would sneak into the huge cyberpunk city to work, and sometimes they would escape and hide here and continue to wait for employers willing to pay a big price.
In addition, it is also a huge resale center for people, weapons, equipment, drugs and other contraband.
In particular, many drugs that have huge side effects and can even lead to addiction, tragic death, and body ulcers are rampant here.
Even many large manufacturing companies secretly release large quantities of drugs that are still in the experimental stage here, and then observe the reactions of those who take them.
Anyone with some common sense will understand that this is actually illegal human drug experimentation.
To be precise, the reason why this area can develop is because of the secret support of some powerful high-level devils in the ninth level of Baator Hell.
They need such a place to circumvent various legal restrictions in order to achieve some ulterior motives.
Some even take advantage of the convenience here to make gray income.
Otherwise, with the military power possessed by the Ninth Level, it would be effortless to occupy and assimilate this place.
But after so many years, no devil with power has done this.
Not only that!
They also strictly ordered law enforcement agencies not to cross the border.
Once a wanted criminal escapes through the Gate of Desire, no further action is allowed unless he takes the initiative to return.
In addition, it is also an intelligence battlefield that gathers countless spies, spies, and assassins.
There are more than a thousand attacks, assassinations and mysterious deaths occurring here every day.
But the interesting part is that no one cares at all.
The Gate of Desire is still so prosperous and bustling with people, with an endless stream of visitors of different races, purposes, and camps.
As its name suggests, on the other side of the river is the largest gathering place of desire in the entire universe.
Once you cross here, you can enter a paradise that can satisfy all your desires, or it may be more appropriately called an abyss.
"Alas - look at these mortals who are constantly sinking in desire and sin. They have no idea how heavy the price they have to pay to obtain these cheap happiness."
A middle-aged and elderly monk with a bald head and only a loincloth couldn't help but sigh in sorrow.
Because he had just seen a young woman on the street not far away. In order to obtain a bottle of alchemy potion that emitted gray-green light, she directly sold her body and soul to a certain mixed-blood Tiefling.
Right now, this woman was enjoying dripping the liquid into her eyes, her whole body was shaking violently uncontrollably, and she was letting out a bloodcurdling moan from her throat.
You don't need to ask to know that the bottle of alchemical potion with gray-green light is a new gadget that has only become popular in the past few weeks.
It is said that the Ninth Level drug company originally wanted to develop a cheap potion that would allow users to gain arcane vision and see through invisibility and illusions at the same time.
But who knew that there was something wrong in the middle, causing this medicine to affect the brain nerves after drinking, and then produce very wonderful hallucinations.
This kind of hallucination not only relaxes the brain and secretes a large amount of hormones that produce excitement and stimulating emotions, but also confuses the senses, just like imagination brought into reality.
But the only drawback is that it is highly addictive and can cause irreversible damage to the brain.
Generally speaking, once the person takes it continuously for more than three to five months, the person's brain will gradually become stupid, and the reaction will become slower and slower, and he will become a fool or idiot. Eventually, it will completely liquefy and lead to brain death.
So from the moment of contact, this person's life will inevitably enter a countdown.
Not to mention mortals, even low-level demons, devils and yugoloths that are slightly less resistant in this regard cannot withstand it.
There are even cases where celestial beings become addicted to it and slowly become corrupted.
Another strong man next to him who was blind in both eyes and with a full beard sighed slightly and whispered: "It seems that the rumors from the outside world may be true.
Soth's understanding and interpretation of evil is becoming more and more profound.
These mortals did not suffer any coercion in the process of falling, and it was completely voluntary.
There is no so-called pain, only endless happiness.
His influence in the realm of evil has begun to gradually exceed that of Asmodeus, as well as those demon lords and other evil gods."
"So he will become our enemy?"
Another slightly younger soldier's face obviously became a little ugly.

alliance.
Among them, the monk is dressed as the incarnation of Ilmat, the god of suffering, the blind one is the incarnation of Tyr, the god of justice, and the young warrior is the incarnation of Thom, the god of loyalty and courage.
The reason why they appeared here was entirely to fulfill their agreement and come to negotiate with the ninth level of Baator Hell to ensure that Zuo Si would not interfere in the upcoming decisive battle between good and evil.
"enemy?"
Tyr smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"It would be great if we could clearly distinguish between ourselves and the enemy as before.
Soth is different from those other evil beings.
He does not seek to eliminate goodness or overwhelm justice, but hopes to achieve mutual success in another form.
See those temples of good gods and communities of celestial beings?
The most terrifying thing about Soth is that he never stops the spread of kindness and justice, and even encourages us to do so to some extent.
Because what he wants is not the kind of confused and corrupt soul.
Rather, we want souls that can clearly understand their own evil and depravity and resolutely follow this path to the end.
Observe these fallen mortals carefully with your eyes wide open, do they ever show the slightest bit of remorse?"
"You mean...he is using us? Using kindness and justice to achieve his own evil purposes!"
Tom was completely shocked, and at the same time, he felt an indescribable shock in his heart.
Harnessing the seeds and watering of good to bring forth the fruits of evil?
How insidious and cunning this is!
How crazy!
What a blasphemy!
The most important thing is that this is a naked and unsolvable conspiracy.
Even if we now know what leftist thinking is going to do, there is nothing we can do to stop or change it.
The reason is simple!
As good gods, it is their duty and mission to spread the concepts of kindness, fairness, and justice, and it is something they must do even at the cost of their lives.
This is not only natural, but also responsibility and obligation.
So stopping these acts of redemption is certainly out of the question.
Even if only a few out of a thousand fallen people have the possibility of redemption, they will never give up.
But the problem is that the more they want to redeem these fallen people, the more Zuo Si will get more souls that exude the fragrance of evil.
This strong sense of contradiction can simply burn the brains of those who are unable to turn around.
