As Lenny and Athena mounted the reptile-insect creature, swiftly ascending into the air to escape the chaos below, Lenny cast a backward glance at the pandemonium unfolding.
The nether beast creatures below frenziedly rushed toward the red pellets dropped by Athena, resembling insects swarming over a pile of rotting food. anwhile, arrows rained down from various angles, intensifying the bedlam.
In the distance, astride flying nether beasts reminiscent of prehistoric dinosaurs, intelligent figures ca into view.
Their primitive dressing, resembling barbaric attire with little to no clothing, puzzled Lenny. He had anticipated a horde of mindless creatures when he heard about the Agents of the Nether, yet these beings displayed a level of intelligence that defied his expectations.
The contrast between the chaotic feast of the nether beasts and the unexpected sophistication of the Agents created a surreal scene, leaving Lenny bewildered by the mysterious nature of the nether.
After all, every ti that a creature of the nether had been summoned, it had always been the mindless creatures that he was most familiar with.
"Where are we going?" Lenny asked.
"A place where they can't find us!" Athena answered as she continued controlling the flying nether beast.
As they flew through the dark expanse of the nether, a million questions filled Lenny's head.
For example, if this was the nether, how was it possible that he could breathe here. And if he could breathe, didn't that an that there was plant life sowhere around. Also, if there was plant life, didn't that an that there was so sort of light source sowhere?
After all, oxygen could not be created by plants unless through photosynthesis.
It made lenny puzzled.
However, before he could ask, the Satan system explained it all to him.
Lenny was perplexed by this. Not the answer he had been given, but the response that he had gotten from the Satan system. it no longer sounded like an AI, but rather like an infant, who, although still slumbering, was talking in their sleep.
This made him frown. The Satan system sensed his worry and explained.
Lenny heard the voice and could not help but feel a bit strange about it. He rembered that he had heard a series of Alerts when he absorbed the power from the core of the primordial beast.
Amongst one of them, he had heard sothing about the Satan System increasing to level 3 and that it was developing a soul. At the ti, he was more pressed for ti and therefore did not think much of it. However, now, he was hearing the voice of an infant in his head.
He suddenly heard yawning. the embryonic soul replied.
"Wait! don't go back to sleep!"
"basically, I am ignorant?"
Lenny was surprised by the arrogance and attitude of the embryonic soul. He actually was speechless by its audacity.
"A Gateway? To Where?"
Lenny was perplexed about such a description and wanted to know more, but the embryonic Soul yawned once more, and before he could talk anymore, it quieted down.
Obviously, it had returned to slumber.
Now, Lenny found himself left with even more questions about the Nether.
As they flew far and fast through the dark expanse, Lenny looked below. it was dark but he could still see humanoid creatures stuck on the ground, frozen to death.
Athena saw where he was looking. She sighed as she answered the question on his mind.
"Those are wanderers, Witches, demons, or basically any person from reality that was curiously foolish enough to try and explore the Nether. Death does not exist here, so they are forever stuck in the frozen cold. Regardless of their realms. They are all left stuck in a state that is akin to death but his not death.
Their hopes, dreams, aspirations, all frozen in a tiless expanse. Many of them have been frozen here since the ti of man, and so, even more.
Those dark sands below are a state beyond death, but still worse than living. The amalgamation of Pain, beyond its intrinsic form."
As she talked, Lenny noticed that she had a soar but longing look on her face. It was as if she missed sothing or lost sothing below.
A little more and they crossed...
