"I had already seen that when we got inside of Abyss. So it is called Under dark, huh?" I wondered. "What are the dimensions of such a place?"

"As big as Abyss itself." Mammon said, sighing. "I would say Abyss is as big as Genesis on its totality, even though it is just a single piece of land. So the Under dark is right below, naturally having the same length."

"And that sun… Then is it as big as ours?!" Asked Gaby. "I remember that Genesis sun is inside of the bubble of space Lucifer made, right?"

"Indeed, I think it might be slightly bigger." Said Mammon. "At least when compared to Genesis sun, yes, it is much bigger, ten times bigger at least."

"T-Ten times?!" Hodhyl muttered. "A-And we are stealing… that?! Can you even fit that inside your World Realm, Kireina?"

"I can, of course I can. I could fit several planets inside. There's a lot of "empty space" outside of the lands and seas." I explained. "I believe the next step is to create an Astral Realm after absorbing a Star. Which will give birth to many worlds within the internal realm."

"Oh so you know, yeah, pretty much." Mammon nodded. "We Archdemons can't cultivate like other beings outside hell can. But we manage our gigantic layers which are already comparable to large astral realms if not more."

"Just how strong is an Archdemon in average?" Wondered Charlotte.

"Hmm, when at our peak of strength, within our territories? At least Galaxy Realm." Mammon said. "But outside, it can vary tremendously. Satan sold himself by coming to another Layer. He underestimated me too much… Well, all of us. Without everyone here I wouldn't have been able to defeat him, I have to admit it."

"Well, good for you to admit it." I smiled.

"Can you tell us about those chains…?" Nephiana asked. "I am kind of afraid of going. I am really frail, but Kireina insisted on bringing me because I can fly super-fast… So I'm worried and want to learn more…"

"Sure." Mammon smiled. "You see, these chains were a combination of both the Primordial Moon Goddess and the Blood God's powers… I think. That's what I've learned… It used to not be so large and big, actually. But as the Under dark was formed because Abyss became a permanently dark world of eternal night, the chains ended strengthening, leaving the sun even more sealed and helpless."

"So to get Abyss' Sun we have to destroy those chains? Is it possible?" Altani wondered. "Kireina, do you think you have the power to do it? How strong are those chains?"

"One question at a time." Sighed Mammon. "Yes they're very strong but Kireina should be able to destroy them easily. If she killed Shub-Niggurath, they shouldn't be a problem. If anything, we'll spend most of the time destroying those chains or tearing them apart."

"This is where Scarlet could have been useful, but I can't bring myself to bring her here. I'll handle everything on my own, everyone else has to just cover my back." I told everyone. "It should only take a couple of seconds, less than a minute. But that minute will feel extremely long."

"And lastly, the foe we'll be fighting in that minute…" Mammon sighed. "The Recessed."

"What are they exactly?" Luminous asked. "I am rather ignorant when it comes to other worlds, I've only begun experiencing visiting them. Before meeting Kireina I was just the old guardian of a large forest, never stepping out of it. So I am curious about this…"

"No need to tell me the story of your life, dragon, I get it." Mammon acted a bit cocky. He'll need some spanking later. "Recessed are the former servants of the Primordial Sun God. They're known as Celestials. In the past they were a common race of people. However, after the Blood God took over, I am fairly sure most were exterminated. They're similar to Angels in some ways."

"So they died? How did they revive then?" Charlotte asked.

"I am not so sure. I believe they weren't all killed. All these Recessed popping out come from the Sealed Sun, whose Aura and Sunlight has become corrupted by the Under dark." Mammon explained. "I believe their sealed bodies slowly awakened as they absorbed their own dark seals, becoming corrupted Celestials, the Recessed. They're very strong and intelligent. And are all driven by the desire of avenging their God and eventually unsealing the Sun to bring back the day to Abyss. But their methods are different, they're corrupted Celestials after all, malicious, cunning, sinful, demonic in nature. Not so different from the Vampires that populate most of the world of Abyss. They have become a threat that has been slowly growing larger for the last few tens of thousands of years."

"And they're intelligent enough to even make pacts and contracts with Archdemons from Hell, it seems." Redgaria stepped in. "Kireina, do you mind if I join as well?"

"You?" I wondered. "Redgaria, you already got what you wanted. Why don't you just step back and go live your life, let everyone else take care of things."

"I refuse such a fate. We were once enemies; I reluctantly became your ally. We grew closer, and I learned to appreciate your damned Kingdom. You helped me get my sister back. You think I'm going to just sit down and relax? I'll fight." His words came with sincerity.

"Oh my…" I giggled. "Well, look at those red eyes, full of determination. I see you're not a shitty necromancer anymore, huh?"

"I'm trying to be better…" He sighed. "For my sister. So let me join you. I think I can help you deal with these guys. The arts of necromancy could affect pseudo undead beings such as them. And after my cosmic ascension, I feel like I can do anything."

"That overconfidence could become your doom, human." Said Mammon. "But you're not wrong, the Recessed are similar to Undead in some ways, calling them pseudo-undead is not wrong either. You might be of some help."

"Alright." I laughed. "Now, Mamon, is everything ready?"

"Almost." He said. "For now, let me tell you the plan I've made. As long as you can hold on for a bit, this'll guarantee Kireina getting her Star by a hundred percent."
