1195 Hell System Is Surprisingly Well Organized

Things had escalated very quickly but it seems that I had become an Archdemon in the favor of Mammon. You see, in Hell there are many things I didn't knew about, mostly because the Limbo is governed by nobody and therefore the stuff that happens down here doesn't happen up there.
There are many unique things in this Layers of Hell that I must adress first to make a general idea in my mind of everything going on and all the things that play important roles in the development of Hell, the Hell Players, the Hell Rankings, and so on.
First of all, every layer of hell competes against one another for supremacy. There are three Rankings, Hell Ranking, which calculates overall Hell Quality, from warriors, sports, and all of that, then there's Archdemon Hell Point Ranking, which is divided in two, the individual player ranking which counts the points of each individual, and then the overall Layer Ranking, which counts all the overall points that a layer has in terms of Hell Points, or well, what they had been accumulating, it doesn't go down if they use them in the Hell Shop.
But then again, how come? What are these competitions anyways? Well, long ago, the Princes of Hell came to the conclusion that they were not capable of destroying one another, and if they tried, they would end up making even more disasters. Even more, because they had been fighting for supremacy for so long while Lucifer only looked from the sides, the Hell itself, yes, this Dimension itself, awakened a Will, Hell's Will, which dictated and asked them to fucking stop.
And because they didn't fucking stop, Hell's Will suddenly create the Hell Records and made something up with their help, and all of them ended agreeing in joining this Hell Rankings to determine who was the best. These guys are just the worst of the worst after all, so they were obsessed with winning and beating the other as if this were their meaning of life.
And with the aid of the Hell's Will, which is said to originate from the depths of Hell where there is a massive sphere of enormous power named Hell Core, the Hell Rankings were made up. However, Hell's Will didn't wanted the other lesser demons to slack off, and with the Princes of Hell agreeing to it, she generated the threat of the Demonic Towers and also increased the population of Demonic Beasts.
This began to incentivize the Demons in Hell to work hard to cultivate and survive, while they also were forced to go to the Demonic Towers and complete the dangerous floors inside so they wouldn't release Demonic Beast Tides, which might take millions of demons to be defeated completely… these constant threats forced the demons to team up in some cases and grow stronger in large groups.
Each Prince of Hell made up their own Pandemonium, and using them, they gathered the demons there as if they were massive nations. They showed them the Rankings and all of that crap, and incentivized them to join the Tower Raids and defeat monsters there, where they can earn Hell Points, that can be used in the Hell Shop or as currency all around Hell.
Like this, a place you would think is filled with chaos and power-hungry demons killing each other with no rules whatsoever turned to be a very organized society. There is the Hell Quest Board as well, where weaker Demons can choose to do small Quests and accumulate Hell Points through that, using them to grow stronger and climb up the Towers. It is said that those that manage to clear Towers are gifted with insane amounts of Hell Points and also help the entire Layer increase in the Hell Rankings a lot, fueling the princes of hell with pride and arrogancy as they see themselves above the other idiots…
It really feels as if this all was very much like a game, to an extent. It surprised me by how stupid it feels to be, but that's just how it is. It appears to be like that the Hell Layers are competing like this for supremacy…
The Hell Points are the currency everyone uses, and they climb the Demonic Towers to stop them from flooding the layer with Demonic Beast Tides and therefore they're protecting their own lives while competing with one another.
It is said that the Layer that reaches the first Place in the Rankings is rewarded with special benefits by the Hell's Will and Lucifer, and this might be the key for the Princes to continue growing stronger as they had always been overpowered to the point, they cannot really grow stronger anymore…
Mammon here wants to conquer the entire Hell and all its layers by becoming Rank 1 in all of it, so its gonna be a hard quest to get done with, especially by seeing all those other competitors dying to show us what they're made of. I am honestly concerned, but also excited. Perhaps this won't be as boring and can partially become a part-time job while I deal with Genesis.
Mammon said he wanted to help me in Genesis too, he wants to conquer that land the same way I want to too, and to boot, he shares my memories, so he knows exactly what's going on, or well, until that day, now that he finally met me, he decided to ask me a few questions, mostly regarding Genesis as a whole.
"I see, so there are more Supremes showing up than before?! You're one of them now but I guess Supremes are growing to be not so special if such a thing is going on! Nonetheless, I see that you want to get to Helheim and finally fulfill the promise you gave to Redgaria, while also using this opportunity to eat Hel and gain her powers… Sounds like a plan." He said.
"Yeah, there are also these Death Lords that come from another Plane… they seem like troublesome." I said.
"Ohhh… I think those guys are wondering around here, right, Plutus?" asked Mammon.
"Wait, what?!"
