Hyper-Dimensional Player

Plague Horn Sound, Hall.

The red burial cloth gazed at the man before her, a hint of regret in her eyes. She suddenly realized that if Duncan met the succubus queen Meikanshute, with the queen’s greed, this man would likely become irrelevant to her.

She couldn’t possibly compete with her mother in terms of charm, strength, or debauchery.

Now she only hoped her mother would see the profit behind it, and wouldn’t be tempted by the man’s special soul. Such a man was as irresistible to succubi as drugs.

Draining a strong man, merging his soul into Shadella, was clearly less beneficial than using him to heavily damage her enemies and gain substantial benefits.

The red burial cloth managed to gain a foothold on the Ten Thousand Abyss Plain, her vision relatively long-term, yet overly cautious, somewhat cowardly.

A burst of Spiritual Light from a teleportation spell appeared.

Duncan’s vision blurred slightly, and the next moment, he traversed some layers of the Bottomless Abyss. Directly reaching the lower layers of the Abyss wasn’t possible, as only the Nether River could lead throughout the Abyss.

They needed to cross numerous layers, using jump teleportation, to reach the succubus queen’s domain.

"Deep Pit Web."

"Spider Goddess Queen’s realm."

Noticing Duncan’s gaze, the nearby red burial cloth whispered, "I suggest you best avoid approaching there lightly."

"Even the most powerful demon lords don’t dare approach the Spider Queen’s territory easily."

The notorious name of Spider Queen Rose had grown ever louder over the years.

Duncan nodded slightly, there were subterranean passages near Sambia, but he hadn’t seen Zor Elves, nor had dealings with the dark regions.

However, the Wealth Church indeed had merchants trading with Zor Elf cities.

As long as there’s profit, they’re willing to go anywhere.

The special nature of merchants dictates that they’ll interact with various forces.

In the dark regions, there’s also a divine-level plotline, namely the love-hate feud between Spider Queen Rose and her daughter Eilistraee. However, the danger level of this plotline escalates dramatically, anything related to Spider Queen Rose requires caution.

Because she’s somewhat mad.

But Duncan wasn’t afraid, as long as his power was sufficient, he’d partake to gain benefits.

Divine posts in the celestial realm worth having were already occupied, obtaining good divine positions meant having to compete and fight for them, there’s no free lunch in heaven.

A hole for every carrot.

This realm might seem alright, but it effectively blocks mortals’ path to promotion.

Saint’s Calamity didn’t kill enough Divine Spirits, more should die.

Bottomless Abyss, 570th layer, Shadella.

When Duncan first arrived, he even thought he had reached an upper plane. Unlike other Bottomless Abyss layers filled with sulfur, marshes, and toxic gases, Shadella felt like a utopia, even the air carried a faint floral scent.

The opium-like aroma reeked of corruption, decay, and sensuality, enticing travelers to lose themselves unknowingly.

This was the plane’s characteristic, also the domain law of the succubus queen Meikanshute.

In Shadella’s layer, lush lands were evenly divided into small parcels by peaks, a sea of rich resources dyed red beneath the inspiring eternal sunset. Viewed from above, this realm resembled more a romantic painting than an abyssal plane, yet beneath the enchanting scenery lay a deadly truth: Shadella was solely the succubus queen’s paradise, with every charming sight meant to give visiting guests a false sense of safety and relaxation.

Duncan followed the footsteps of the red burial cloth into this famed fallen paradise within the multiverse.

Besides the well-trimmed sky gardens and glittering marble buildings, Shadella concealed numerous torture chambers, laboratories, and brutal punishment altars.

The succubus queen’s lust was not only for sex but also included sadism, humiliation, akin to a more normal version of lustful excess.

Mortal residents of this plane often unknowingly indulged in the sweet embrace of disguised succubi lovers without ever experiencing the realm’s dark side, living a lavish, decadent life until fully corrupted by the abyss.

Afterward, their demon lovers would start plotting their murder, often slowly and meticulously, and ultimately their souls would wholly augment Meikanshute’s power and fuel the command over the entire layer.

In truth, souls were consumed, first becoming Shadella’s bound spirits (Prayer) before being entirely devoured by the abyssal layer.

The same principle applied to the Divine Country.

Except the divine realm was gentler, patiently waiting for the Prayer’s soul to dissipate.

"Lady."

"Please follow me."

A flamboyant succubus emitting pink Spiritual Light appeared. This was Radiant Sister, the succubus queen’s personal maid, who glanced at Duncan with a playful eye, seeming to notice this man wasn’t seduced by the fallen paradise.

Dimension Space, on the projection level.

Duncan saw innumerable red marks and yellow neutral marks surrounded by succubi, within underground city chambers were numerous dying Torturers, alongside mortal souls engulfed and consumed through sacrificial offerings by succubi.
