According to some unsigned historical records written by unknown people, the 'Bato' in the eternal period was not divided into nine layers as it is now, but was a complete whole like many ordinary planes.

Then, the 'original agreement' was signed for the first time, and the Lord of the Nine Prisons descended into this plane that still harbors many indigenous creatures according to the content of the agreement. His massive body carried unparalleled power and smashed directly down here, and continued to fall downward, tearing the entire 'Bato' plane into nine layers from top to bottom, becoming what it is now.

The authenticity of this account cannot be verified, but it also shows from the side that the 'Bato' plane itself also has aboriginal people. As for what the aborigines are? The question is simple, most of the aborigines are the first kind of infernal creatures, because the primitive 'Bato' plane, although it does not yet carry the word 'hell', also belongs to the lower plane.

Infernal creatures mostly inhabit the lower planes, and are quite diverse. Many of these types of infernal creatures can be found in the main material world with similar species models.

As far as rats are concerned, the Purgatory Rats are basically similar to ordinary rats in the main material world in terms of size and habits, but they are slightly different in appearance. The purgatory rat has a dark red skin, relatively sharper teeth and claws, and some coarse manes on its back spine.

Many scholars have been very divided on the question of whether the Purgatory Rats should be counted as a branch of the rats, or as a completely separate species.

Scholars who agree with the 'rat branch' believe that not only the Purgatory Rat, but also similar creatures in other planes (e.g., shadow creatures in the shape of rats in the shadow plane), as well as magical beast-type creatures such as the Moonlight Rat, should be counted as different forms of the same species - Infernal Rats, Shadow Rats, etc.

Scholars who support the 'independent species' believe that although these creatures have many similarities, they should be regarded as independent creatures derived from various planes of the multiverse, and there is no connection between them.

Because in all the literature from ancient times to the present, there is no evidence that there has ever been a large-scale intercommunication between planes. So, how did these so-called 'different forms' come into being in the first place? Could it be that someone would take creatures from the main material plane to other planes and then put a lot of effort into cultivating them one by one?

These scholars do not believe that this is possible. If it's one or two types of organisms, it's all right, but it's not possible to do it by any means on such a large scale.

However, the two sides have reached an agreement on at least one issue, that is, there are too many unexplained mysteries in the multiverse, and it seems that there is a big invisible hand behind the scenes, silently driving the process of the entire universe.

......

In the prison of Mantili in the city of Dis, a purgatory rat crawls cautiously along the base of the wall. It sometimes crouched in a hollow gap at the base of the wall, dodging some patrolling barbed jailer, and sometimes climbed upwards to bypass the sight of a standing guard of Steel and burrow into the shattered skulls embedded in the wall.

The Purgatory Rat scurried through the short passages created by the cracked skull, and when the passages were dead, it crawled out of the eye sockets of another large skull and continued with the traces of the smell.

Not far in front of it, a pinprick struggled to push a cart containing two filthy vats, and parked it outside a spiked iron door.

The devil reached out and pulled a long string of rusty keys from his waist, and after muttering for a long time, he used one of the keys to open the door in front of him.

The Needle Demon pushed the heavy cart into the door, and the Purgatory Rats quietly followed.

The large bucket on the cart is the target of the Purgatory Rat, which contains the food it yearns for. If the needle demon is not looking, the Purgatory Rats can steal a large chunk of food from the bucket. Our nameless Purgatory Rat is a connoisseur, having done this many times, never once.

The Purgatory Rat, while the Needle Piercing Demon was distributing food to the other creatures in the room, quickly climbed onto the bucket, ready to pick up a piece of food and hurry away. But just as it climbed to the edge of the barrel and casually looked around the surrounding environment, it found a figure that attracted it countless times more than food.

The figure was hiding in the ribs of a corpse in the opposite room, about the same size as the Hellrat, but with a more plump body, which was the type we like for this Hellrat. And the other party also faintly revealed the temptation of some kind of food, which also made the purgatory rat instinctively feel some inexplicable danger.

Danger, excitement, temptation, and multiple perceptions mingled together, causing the thick and stiff mane on the spine line of the purgatory rat to stand on root in an instant. It hesitated for only an extreme amount of time, and eventually, desire took over, and the Purgatory Rat 'stabbed' off the iron bucket, crept closer from under the car, and crawled into the empty room next door to hide for a while.

After the cart's needle-stabbing demon left, the Infernal Rat began to make its way down the wall towards the next room. It had just reached the fence and had discovered its presence at the right of hand. The 'figure' jumped out of the ribs of the corpse and stared at it with those enchanting eyes, filled with endless longing.

The clever purgatory rat instantly understood the meaning in the other man's eyes, and it couldn't help but feel a little complacent, and it made the mane on its spine thicker as if it were showing off.

The other party kept signaling the Purgatory Rats to approach, and it cautiously looked at the huge creature in the same room as the stunner, and found that the big man was eating, and did not seem to notice it, or did not want to pay attention to it.

For the sake of 'happiness', fight! The purgatory rat quickly drilled into the gap in the fence, and the beautiful little stunner in front of him also waited for it with open arms.

......

"Is that good?" the little ghost crouched on the ground, curiously looking at the ball of flesh that had reverted back to its gelatinous form.

"Good times! good times!" replied in a vague manner as the balls squirmed. That guy had just devoured a purgatory rat that had inadvertently broken in, and was digesting it, or 'fusion'.

The strange wriggling appearance of the Flesh Golem when it ate made Barrett feel a little sick to his stomach. He turned his back to the meat ball and continued to nibble on the half-raw, half-burnt piece of unidentified meat in his hand, "Since you've already eaten it, then I won't leave it for you anymore." ”

"Oh, well, Lord. Meatball said with a little frustration.

"I'm doing this for your own good, if you eat too much, you will become fat, and after you become fat, it will be difficult to hide, and maybe you will be caught back by those devils. "So, you'd better keep your size small." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, before Meatball could answer, the door of the cubicle was opened again, and the needle Mosaig and the barb Momitanu walked in together,

Barrett turned his head and glanced behind him, and saw that the little ghost and the meat ball were no longer there. Luckily, both little ones are quite clever and know when to hide. However, the two devil companions actually knew about the existence of the little ghost, but they didn't say much.

The Devil Buddy walked up to Barrett in two steps, "Your opponent for the next game is decided." "His name is 'Victor,' and he's a guy in the gladiator camp. ”
