I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

Chapter 890 Central City: Pandemonium

?

Morning arrived, and Fein awoke from a restless sleep. He knew it was time to bid farewell to the inn that had been his temporary home during his time with Imeng. With a heavy heart, he made his way downstairs to the inn's first floor, where the inn owner, Johny, greeted him with a mixture of reluctance and fondness.

Johny's tired eyes met Fein's, and a hint of sorrow flashed across his face. They had developed a special bond during Fein's stay, sharing stories and laughter over countless meals. There was an unspoken understanding between them, a connection formed through the passing of time.

Fein approached the counter, offering a bittersweet smile. "Morning, Johny," he greeted, his voice tinged with a touch of melancholy. "Looks like it's time for me to move on."

Johny sighed, his gaze drifting toward the empty table where Fein had sat many mornings before. "Aye, lad," he replied, his voice carrying a hint of reluctance. "Time flies, don't it? Feels like just yesterday ye came in here, a bright-eyed lad in search of somethin' more."

Fein nodded, memories of their conversations flooding his mind. "Indeed, it's been quite a journey," he said, his tone tinged with a mixture of nostalgia and gratitude. "But I've learned a lot, thanks to you and this place."

A faint smile tugged at the corners of Johny's mouth. "Well, ye were always a quick learner, Fein," he remarked, a touch of pride evident in his voice. "I'll miss your enthusiasm and those lively discussions we had."

Fein chuckled, a warmth spreading through his chest. "I'll miss those too, Johny. Where else am I going to find someone who appreciates my terrible jokes?"

The inn owner chuckled in response, a flicker of sadness in his eyes. "Aye, lad, those jokes of yours were somethin' else. They brightened up this old place, they did."

Fein leaned against the counter, a contemplative expression on his face. "Well, don't worry, Johny. I may be leaving for now, but who knows? Fate has a way of bringing people back together. Perhaps our paths will cross again someday."

Johny's gaze softened, a glimmer of hope shining through his weariness. "Aye, lad, that would be a fine thing," he said, his voice filled with unspoken longing. "Take care of yourself out there. Conquer the world and all that. But remember, you always have a place here."

Fein nodded, a mixture of gratitude and sadness welling up within him. "Thank you, Johny. I won't forget your kindness. And I promise, when I return, I'll bring tales of victory and triumph."

With a final handshake, Fein bid farewell to the inn and the inn owner who had become a friend. As he stepped out into the world, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and sorrow. The road ahead was unknown, but the memories and connections he had made would forever remain in his heart. 

...

Fein look left and right at the hustle and bustle in front of him. "Pandemonium, huh... Here am I."

The history of the central city of the Abyss is a tale of power struggles, conquests, and the rise and fall of mighty Satans. This ancient city, known as Pandemonium, has been the epicenter of demonic civilization for centuries. 

Pandemonium was founded by the first Satan, Lucifer, who sought to establish a centralized seat of power for the demons. Under his rule, the city was built as a symbol of strength and authority, becoming the heart of the Abyss.

Reign of Lucifer: Lucifer's rule was characterized by unity and prosperity. He established the Council of Satans, a governing body consisting of the most powerful demons in the Abyss, to maintain order and ensure the city's growth.

However, Lucifer's reign was not without challenges. A group of rebellious demons, led by the fallen angel Mephistopheles, opposed his rule, sparking the Great Rebellion. The rebellion resulted in a violent conflict that shook the foundations of Pandemonium, but ultimately, Lucifer emerged victorious, securing his position as the supreme ruler.

Following the Great Rebellion, Pandemonium entered an era of expansion. The city grew in size and influence, attracting demons from all corners of the Abyss who sought power, knowledge, and opportunities for advancement.

In order to maintain the delicate balance of power, the Satans established the Satanic Covenant, a set of laws and regulations that governed their conduct and interactions. This covenant ensured the stability and relative peace within Pandemonium.

Over time, as Pandemonium flourished, the Council of Satans expanded to include 36 members. These powerful beings, each representing different aspects of demonic power and influence, became the rulers of the central city, collectively known as the 36 Satans. 36 SS-ranks! The pillars of the middle realm.

The history of Pandemonium is marked by periodic wars of dominance among the Satans. Ambitious demons vied for power and sought to overthrow their rivals, leading to fierce battles and political intrigue within the city's walls.

One of the most notorious Satans in Pandemonium's history was Belial, a master of deception and manipulation. Under his rule, the city experienced a period of corruption and chaos as Belial consolidated his power, stifling dissent and exploiting the weak.

Eventually, a coalition of Satans and rebellious factions rose up against Belial, challenging his authority. In a climactic battle, Belial was defeated, and his reign of tyranny came to an end. The Satans collectively restructured the governance of Pandemonium to prevent such abuses of power in the future.

After the fall of Belial, Pandemonium entered an age of enlightenment. The Satans, having learned from the mistakes of the past, worked towards the betterment of demonic society. They fostered education, promoted the arts, and encouraged the pursuit of knowledge and magical mastery to make their civilization evolve from barbaric to sophisticated.

Pandemonium faced its greatest threat during the Great Cataclysm, a cataclysmic event that shook the Abyss to its core. The city suffered extensive damage, and the Satans rallied together to rebuild, forging new alliances and strengthening their resolve to protect their realm.

Today, Pandemonium stands as a beacon of demonic power and culture. The 36 Satans continue to rule, each bringing their unique strengths and perspectives to the governance of the central. Less internal conflicts, with Lucifer preceding and having the most power. The Abyss is governed perfectly with his implementation of check and balance.
