Tower of Heaven

Moving with care was a must. The surroundings were filled with corpses of such unbelievable beings, but how had they died?

The Underworld certainly was a place of death, but it was a place where those who had already died were sent. Nobody was meant to die here.

'Corpses here are technically living beings. True corpses that are truly lifeless…is this really the Underworld?'

Just how powerful were those beings when they lived for their corpses to remain in complete states in the atmosphere of the afterlife?

They didn't decompose or rot. They were perfectly maintained in their peak states by the egregious amounts of qi present within. Despite the fact that their souls were gone and their bodies were vessels without owners, they were never truly able to die.

That was the source of the infinite vitality Atlas could feel around him.
