Plutus was the Gatekeeper of greed, he was a man that was brought here from somewhere else, I don't know from where, and he didn't seem to be able to talk about it easily, but he did said a few things, saying that he joined here as a God because this was the best place for someone like a God of Greed and Wealth like him to be.

"So what is what you do here aside from being a decrepit old man?" I asked.

"I gatekeep. The Limbo is not gate keep, but every single Layer has a guardian from somewhere that protects the entire place. Each guardian is a strong being right below the princes of hell. Meaning that I am actually pretty strong!" laughed Plutus.

"I can tell that." I sighed.

I had inspected him, and he was indeed strong, perhaps way above Supreme God Realm… if this guy were to go to Genesis he would be recognized as a Supreme God right away, but in here he acted as some insane beggar, so it was very hard to discern his true strength.

But even then, he was so strong, yet I was so relaxed at his side, why was that? Well, I simply didn't fear him, he seemed to have a severe case of dementia, and fighting such a person would be rather easy compared to a cunning and old supreme god with all his sanity points at a healthy number.

Meanwhile, this guy is just completely nuts and I think I can properly deal with him as long as I act accordingly to his expectations. As of now, he's asking me questions while letting me ask some, he was testing my wines and he said he liked them all, so I had already earned most of his favor.

Apparently to get through every Layer without being a native, you have to somehow have the permission of the Gate Keeper or the Prince living there, or gain the favor of the Gate Keeper and well, gain his pass.

Of course, this only apply to outsiders such as me, those that were born here like all the demons and archdemons in here get a free pass and had lived with this guy doing nothing to them for so long that they grew used to his presence, which is usually peaceful.

Of course, as of now I cannot possibly lower my guard, Plutus is till a dangerous individual and probably could be a hard nut to crack if we were to fight for real… I don't know if I would make it, by just seeing him I had begun to realize how hopeless it would be to fight Mammon, who is even stronger. Despite that, I still hold some hope that my soul clones could had done something to his soul so I could more easily beat him.

But who knows how this usually goes? I don't really know if I will be able to even properly pull this through at all. I am mostly coming here to "check it out" by myself. If things go awry, I already know I can return back home and prepare better. But without getting used into this field I can't properly come here to one day slay him, even if I am weak as of now, I can still come to test the waters.

"So what about Mammon? You said a few things about him and also said he already knew about me being here? How come? Do everyone knows I am here? Are they just watching over me as I play around?" I asked. Plutus smiled as he began to laugh.

"Of course, he already knows, the Princes of Hell know everything that transpires in the Gates of Hell! They're the all-powerful figures that govern each Layer, Kireina, do you truly believe you can easily come here and kill one of them? It is impossible for your current power, and you're still far from reaching it." he said.

"So they know everything?! Do they know that in Genesis there's a lot of shit going on?" I asked.

"Why yes, every world they're connected with… But well, Genesis is of very little importance to them. Even Lucifer-sama who plays around using an avatar in that place doesn't care much about what truly happens there. He is more there for the show and well, his Origin got stuck there due to the power of that world's laws, but if the world there gets destroyed, he should be capable of escaping and then moving the dimension elsewhere as we always do." Said Plutus.

"I guess there's no hurry then, I will give him a hand later on, because I will be the one to bring demise to this world." I said with a smile.

"Oho? I am sure you could accomplish it… to an extent… you're after all the child of Chaos! Of course, your very existence is powerful and possess unlimited potential… even more thanks to your powerful Daos and Traits, the Trait you have… it is very powerful, it gives you the ability to have a chance for anything ever!" said Plutus.

"Wait, that's creepy! How do you know about my Trait like that?! I thought it was a secret! Ugh, please don't spy on my Trait like that." I said.

"Hahahaha! It is common knowledge. In the wider universe, everyone knows about the Traits that the great figures around the Universe have… You're a rare one that awakened a strong Trait, there are more around too, but not worth mentioning for the most part, right?" he asked smugly.

"I suppose…"

We drank more wine with Plutus as I had begun to reconsider my own goals. Coming to take a trip here had really changed my perspective a bit. This place might be hellish but it still got its beauty. I've seen demons going around with their families and so on, and this place is obviously not just hell itself, there's something more to it.

"Also, Mammon seems to be wanting to talk to you, Kireina…" said Plutus, with a smile as he looked directly into my soul.

"Oh?"
