Max's interest deepened. "What's inside the core layer?" he asked.
The devil hesitated for a moment, but when he felt the faint pressure of the seal inside his body tighten, he answered quickly.
"I don't know the details. People like me aren't qualified to know much about that place. But according to the rumors, the core layer holds the main inheritance left behind by the owner of the Godslayer's Pilgrimage."
Max's gaze sharpened. The owner of the Godslayer's Pilgrimage. That was the first time he'd heard this place might have an owner.
The devil continued, "Some say the owner was a god. Some say he was a godslayer. Some say he killed gods and built this place out of their corpses, laws, weapons, blood, and broken worlds. Others say the pilgrimage itself is a test left behind to find someone worthy of inheriting his path."
