Charlie's expression didn't change because of Dane's words. She naturally extended her hand and shook Dane's.
"Really? That's quite a coincidence. In fact, many demons in Hell have a grudge against my father."
Angel also leaned closer: "What a coincidence, I also have a grudge against that Bitch. If you can find him, please make sure to vigorously ass-blast him for me!"
"Angel! Watch your language!"
Angel rolled its eyes, clearly Charlie often used F and S words in private, so why was she acting like this now?
Perhaps this was also a difference between the two Hells. Lucifer here didn't seem to be as respected as he was in the other Hell.
One should know that in that Hell, no matter how much those demons hated Lucifer in their hearts, they still had to be respectful on the surface.
Dane released Charlie's hand. He had briefly checked, and the human appearance of the girl in front of him, indistinguishable from a normal girl, was actually just a shell. Beneath this shell was something else, but a mere handshake wasn't enough to reveal much yet.
Instead, the demon named "Angel" beside Charlie, its form was similar to a humanized White spider, which explained its numerous arms and its slender, supermodel-like figure.
Dane could clearly see its true nature with his God of Death's Eye. Beneath the appearance of six arms was the soul of an ordinary human, the soul of a Sinner.
And he also saw a fact that left him speechless: this guy was packing heat!
Souls have no gender, so Dane didn't notice this at first until he changed his perspective and inadvertently saw what was between the other party's legs… "So I wasn't wrong earlier, was I? You must be a demon who recently arrived in Hell?" Charlie clasped her hands to her heart, still excited.
Dane didn't correct her statement, only saying, "I only arrived today, so I'm not familiar with the situation here. This place… seems a bit different from the Hell I imagined?"
"I know what you mean, it's amazing, isn't it? Humans, when alive, always imagine Hell as having a medieval style, thinking it's all archaic eighteen layers of Hell…"
I'm sorry, the Hell I've been to was exactly that style you're talking about, and your old man worked there for a long time. I think he really enjoyed the medieval style!
"If you want to ask why Hell's technology is the same as the Human world, that's thanks to the Sinners. Because the achievements they worked for their entire lives in the Real World are brought into Hell after they die…"
When Charlie said this, Dane understood. Based on the distribution of good and evil in this World, not many good people qualified for Heaven, but Sinners who qualified for Hell were everywhere.
And those who had created many advanced technologies or sciences in the Human world would continue to shine in Hell after death, becoming the "culprits" who transformed Hell into its current state.
Moreover, new Sinners join Hell every year, so Hell's technological iteration is consistent with the Human world.
From Charlie's words, Dane learned that although all creatures in Hell are collectively called demons, they are mainly divided into three categories.
One category is Fallen Angels, said to be a group formed by the Angels who fell with Lucifer and those who fell afterward.
The characteristic of these demons is their varied appearance; some resemble humans, some resemble animals, and some are simply "neither one thing nor another." Their most important feature is that they retain a pair of White or black wings, without the Angel's halo, but most Fallen Angels do not display their wings.
Currently, these Fallen Angels follow Lucifer, residing in the Pride Ring he rules, which is the realm where Dane is now.
Another category is Native Demons, who are the prototypes of the red-skinned demons in many legends.
These are the demons with deep red skin, a pair of horns, a tail, and backward-jointed hooves.
These demons are the indigenous inhabitants who have lived on this land since the beginning of time. Like Fallen Angels, they can intermarry and produce offspring.
Of course, in the age of gods, some Native Demons were also species created by stronger demons, such as Imps.
There is also a very special category: demons transformed from Sinners.
Perhaps due to the unique nature of Hell's laws, every Sinner who goes to Hell will eventually transform into a new demonic form based on the nature of their sins, much like a re-creation by an artist.
The demonic form of a Sinner retains some of their personal stylistic traits from their life as a human, and then combines with features of other animals to reassemble a strangely shaped body.
Taking Angel, whom Dane sees before him, as an example, his six arms and long limbs are derived from the image of a spider.
However, he doesn't look entirely like a spider-girl; aside from having more and longer arms, his overall appearance still closely resembles his former self.
"I say, have you never heard of me? I'm quite famous in this area…"
Angel had somehow managed to get close to Dane again. He felt this demon was a bit improper, always touching him.
Charlie explained from the side: "Angel was part of a gang organization in life. After coming to Hell, he became an adult film star…"
Dane immediately took a few steps back. Not only was he a male demon, but he was also a set teacher?
"Really don't want to try? My skills are superb!" Angel raised an eyebrow at him.
It should be mentioned here that demons transformed from Sinners cannot reproduce, so they cannot leave offspring in Hell.
So some Sinner Demons are… rather promiscuous.
Furthermore, in this Hell, Sinner Demons of this type cannot be killed by normal means. Whether it's cold weapons, hot weapons, or Hell's unique magic power, they can only severely injure Sinner Demons but cannot completely kill them.
Even time cannot erase them.
Even the weakest Sinner Demon will not be killed by any conventional method.
However, during the period of being severely wounded, they need to undergo different degrees of recovery periods depending on the severity of their injuries, and this process, like when humans are injured, will be very painful.
Therefore, Sinners who are frequently severely injured by other demons will gradually become psychologically twisted during this painful recovery period, and eventually their minds will also gradually become truly demonic.
Not only that, Sinner Demons also get sick. Although they won't die, they still have to endure the torment of illness. Most importantly, Hell has almost no Doctors, so if they get sick, they can only endure it.
Dane guessed that this was the punishment of Hell; pain would always accompany the demons until the end of time.
After hearing Charlie explain these basic facts about Hell, Dane raised a question: "If the demons in Hell are immortal, then it should quickly become overpopulated. Is Hell's living space infinite?"
If it were God's Heaven, Dane might believe it a little, but mere Hell shouldn't be a World that can expand indefinitely.
As Lucifer's daughter, Charlie obviously knew many secrets. Dane knew that her age was definitely more than what she appeared to be.
"Of course not. Hell is indeed very large, but it's not large enough to accommodate the Sinners accumulated over thousands of years on Earth, not to mention the Fallen Angels and native demons who are constantly producing offspring in Hell."
"So Heaven conducts a great purge in Hell every year to reduce the excess population of Hell. Heaven's divine power can completely destroy demons at the soul level."
Dane thought of the two demons he had just killed at the entrance and said thoughtfully, "It shouldn't just be Heaven's divine power. The powers of other pantheons should also be able to do this, right?"
Charlie was a bit surprised. Although it was true, the gods had already perished together in the Human world a long time ago. Charlie heard that most of those gods were sealed in a Land of Nihility, and the remaining few had been hiding in the Human world for a long time without appearing.
When Charlie introduced the common knowledge of Hell, she particularly emphasized the structure of Hell.
"The entire Hell is divided into seven Rings, seven realms, and also seven powerful magic barriers. Please note that Sinner Demons cannot enter some places."
The seven Rings are:
The Pride Ring, with its capital Pentagram City, which is where Dane is currently located. According to the rules of Hell, Sinners can only stay in the Pride Ring.
This is the uppermost layer of Hell, and also the most prosperous and vast layer.
