The Holy Chronicles of Baator

Dresden Arcanum Empire didn't have the sophisticated military approach or the strict doctrine that the Baatorians were implementing in every battle, fight, or conquest, no matter the strength of the enemy.

Even if the plane they were invading seemed absolutely weak and ordinary, the military doctrine of the Imperialis Militarum and other armed forces dictated to approach with the utmost caution till the last hostile lifeform had been killed and the entire plane had been conquered.

After several hours the pacification of the Heaven-Defying Sect had ended, with the forces of the Dresden Arcanum Empire achieving decisive victory over the force of cultivators, and the Arcanists controlled the most important place of the entire plane.

"How long would it take to clean up the entire plane?"

Weissmann sat on the throne in the command center of his mothership as he was in meeting with his Generals, Admirals, and a few advisors from the Chthnonian Empire of the Baator.

"About one week, two weeks for the complete and thorough clean-up."

Stated one of the generals from the Imperialis Military.

Cleaning out of the planes after the planar conquest was always a troublesome thing.

Mainly because this act was practically necessary to do because even if the main resistance was crushed, many insurgence elements would still survive and hide somewhere.

And so the plane could effectively operate under the rule of the Dresden Arcanum Empire, they would need to clean it out properly.

Fortunately, the cultivators of the Heaven-Defying Sect, which ruled the entire Primary Grade 2 Plane, were concentrating in their sect, primarily.

So, only a few hundreds of thousands of them were outside, and those who were, were mainly disciples of the Outer Sect, meaning they were pretty weak; only a few Elders and experts of the Heaven-Defying Sect were outside of the sect during the siege of it.

"You have two weeks to clean out the plane completely from all insurgent elements and people who could cause trouble for harvest, build solid fortifications and defenses before leaving the garrison here and moving towards the next target."

Ordered Arcane Ancestor as all of them bowed in respect and immediately went to work.

It was clear that this plane would be ransacked for all resources and then probably sold to the Chthonian Empire for their devices.

Arcanists rarely conquered the plan to obtain resources from them for a long period of time or even indefinitely. Such things were problematic, as they would require a lot of manpower, a permanently stationed army, and some experts to protect it, not talking about the time for it.

That was the reason why the Chthonian Empire never kept the planes they conquered and rather either absolutely ransacked them and destroyed them in their plunder or used them as means to expand the Baator, which was actually the best thing because by expanding the Baator, then the Baator would yield more resources.

MC POV

Blackstone Fortress

The past days were suspiciously peaceful, as our forces rarely met with any strong resistance from the Taesci Race or their vassals, as their planes fell one after another.

At the same time, I remained at the comfort of the Blackstone Fortress together with my wives as we spent time together.

Surprisingly, none of the Tier 12 experts appeared when we continued our attacks; I predicted that they were scheming something, probably choosing some suitable plane where they could hold our advance altogether, possibly wiping out the majority of our expeditionary force.

"My Lord Husband, you are neglecting your marital duties here."

Venelana's voice broke me from my train of thoughts as we were lying naked, not only with Vena, but Grayfia and Hela were there too, though they were sleeping as we finished another round of our lovemaking, and now we had a pause.

What a life.

Before I could enjoy some once more pleasurable activities, my Holo-Brain vibrated, notifying me of some incoming call from someone as I cursed at anyone who was calling me at this moment.

"Zeoticus."

Stated the image of Adolf K. Weissmann, who called him in this untold moment, as he wanted to rip the man apart because he always called in the most inappropriate moment he could. It was fascinating how he always did it.

"Make it short, Weissmann."

I was pretty irritated at this moment, and it was clearly showing itself.

"We assaulted the Ancient Eternal Star Region and conquered one of the stronger vassals of the Three-Eyed Race; right now, we are advancing at the home plane of the Three-Eyed Race."

At least he called with something important to tell me, or it would be fucked up.

"Any encounters with the Tier 12 Ancestors or anyone of that level?"

I questioned him as he shook his head in denial because their conquest till now was without any complications. They didn't encounter anyone of that level till now; clearly, the people of that level were still waiting for their chance.

"No, though we are soon approaching the territory of the Three-Eyed Race, and I predict that the Ancestor Three-Eyes will show himself or send that dammed psionic weapon in his stead."

Stated Weissmann clearly, as I nodded in agreement.

While the level of technology of the Three-Eyed Race was inferior to that of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator, they had some neat weapons, one of which was a weapon capable of killing even a Tier 12 powerhouse.

"Then continue; if you encounter it, then call me, and I will order Architect to hack into that thing... maybe we can learn something if we reverse-engineer it."

I said to Weissmann, as the reverse-engineering of some of those technological wonders of the Three-Eyed Race was something that had dwelled in my mind since the start of the invasion into the Ancient Eternal Star Region.

"Certainly, then I will be going out for now."

Weissmann then cut the connection as he told what he needed to tell, and now, finally, I could return to the more pleasurable activities of the day.

Several days later, the Ancient Eternal Star Region, one of the expeditionary fleets of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator.

This expeditionary fleet was led by the current Emperor of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator, Sirzechs Gremory-Lucifer.

As one of the Tier 11 powerhouses, Sirzechs was too leading the expeditionary fleet into the territory of the Venan Species, which were one of the three hegemons of the Ancient Eternal Star Region.

Compared to the Taesci Race and Three-Eyed Race, the Venans were the least populous, and their population was the lowest; in truth, they were one of the smallest races across the entire Star Region.

Though, that didn't apply to their strength, as each member of the Venan Race was extremely strong.

They were unnaturally gifted in terms of physique and were all talented in the area of body refining.

Even the weakest member of their species was at least Tier 4 in terms of physique. Of course, in exchange for a heavenly gift like this, their affinity with Mana or other energies was abysmal, and only a few of their race were able to use them.

Thus they rather incorporated various elements into their martial arts, giving them various attributes like Fire, Wind or Lightning.

On the commanding center of the Adjudicator-Class Juggernaut Capital Ship, Sirzechs was drinking tea with one of his wives.

Because his first wife Serafall was Magister of Foreign Affairs, and especially now during their conquest of the Ancient Eternal Star Region, she had an even higher workload; only his second wife accompanied him.

Cleria Belial was a beautiful woman, with short white hair and tanned skin, like the rest of the Belial House, which was already High Lord House, after her brother Diehauser Belial became Tier 10 by ascending into the Dimensional-Class.

She wore a combat outfit, which only enhanced her curves and athletic physique, which she developed by practicing martial arts for whole millennia, like the rest of the Belial House members.

They, who were known for their Clan Trait Worthless, and all of them comprehended the Law of Negation, were the masters of all kinds of martial arts.

"What are you thinking about, dear?"

Asked Cleria kindly, she was always a very kind and gentle soul, never very prone to violence and fighting, like most of the species that inhabited the Baator.

"Nothing, just that we would be soon landing at one of the major fortresses of the Venan Race, and the fight there would be a tough one, very tough one."

Sirzechs said seriously, as his father gave him the task of conquering practically the most critical plane, which served as one of four entrances towards the core territory of the Venan Race.

Each one of those entrances was the planes, which were guarding the borders, and were heavily fortified with countless experts presiding over them, and huge armies were stationed there.

"Hopefully, the Ancestor of the Venan Race won't appear; if not, then we can take the plane from the Venans with some degree of casualties and probably even kill a few of their Tier 11 experts, which would be for best."

Sirzechs commented that while he was relatively new Tier 11, his combat prowess was extremely fearsome, to the level he predicted he could fight even two or three average Tier 11.

His Path was very powerful, and while not unique as his father's or as dedicated as his great-grandfather's, it was extremely destructive in its fundamental nature.

"By the information gathered by the Department of the Intelligence and Executioner Temple, there should be only two Tier 11 powerhouses present."

Reported Cleria, she was very talented in espionage and information gathering or organizing strategies for the planar conquest, and that was why, even now, during this expeditionary fleet, she was in charge of devising the strategy.

"Unfortunately, against the experts of the Venan Race, our usual strategy won't be effective against them too much."

She then continued her analysis of the situation.

The typical strategy of the Chthonian Empire during the planar conquest, if the plane was strong and had some very powerful experts, was to use their naval superiority to kill as many of their experts.

In this case, they would be making use of the Adjudicator-Class Juggernaut Capital Ship to kill or at least severely injure their Tier 11 experts who were guarding the plane.

But with the Venan Race, it was relatively impossible because, aside from the terrifying physical capabilities of the Venan Race, they all had very strong resistance against various forms of energy.

That was another perk of their terrifying physiques.

"Then we will employ newly developed seals, and if we cannot kill them fastly, then we will seal them."

Stated Sirzechs shortly after.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, we have entered the outer perimeter of the Venan Territory."

Sounded the voice of one member of the Custodians who came here to deliver them the message.

"Excellent, then prepare for the engagement; how long till we arrive at the targetted destination?"

The entire territory of the Venan Race was heavily monitored by them, so it was probable that their expeditionary fleet would be noticed by them any minute, so the direct confrontation before they even managed to reach the plane was inevitable.

"Approximate time for the confrontation is 1 hour and 13 minus 18 seconds."

Answered the Custodian; Sirzechs nodded his head in agreement before the Custodian bowed his head in respect as he excused himself and returned back to his position.

"With the Dresden Arcanum Empire, at least, the Three-Eyed Race will have their hands tied, and they won't be able to make any move towards us, that is leaving only the Taesci and Venans, but for now, all eyes are focused on the Blackstone Fortress and father-in-law who are attracting their attention, giving us some sort of blank space to continue the conquest."

Sirzrechs agreed with Cleria's statement, as that was indeed the truth, and thanks to that attracted attention, they were free to breach through the defenses of the Venan Race and spread their reach forwards.

Sirzechs was aware that with his power, they could practically fight anything below the Tier 12 and even multiple Tier 11 experts.

Of course, there was still a chance to encounter somebody with the Heaven Defying Battle Power, but chances for that were very low.

Heaven Defying Battle Power was a term typically used in the cultivation-based Universes, but across the Void, it became a common standard.

It was basically a name for anyone with combat prowess that is able to fight high above his own power tier.

For example, Sirzechs, while was Tier 9, could fight against Tier 10, and that was his own power system, which is based on the comprehension of Laws.

So compared to other weaker cultivation systems, his combat prowess would be even higher.

"Attention to all personnel! Enemy incoming! Everyone at their positions!"

Sounded the voice of the ship's A.I. across the Void ship, and similar scenes occurred around the entire Fleet as everyone was getting ready for the upcoming fight with the incoming enemies.

"And it appears that the peaceful time has ended."

Sirzechs stated Cleria agreed with him on that thing before they went to combat.

As they were energy signatures approaching the Expeditionary Fleet, they needed to act appropriately because there was almost guaranteed that enemies would have minimally one Tier 11 powerhouse.

With Sirzechs, 9th Army Yesod Keepers were present, under the leadership of their Lord General Feng Xiu, who had already reached Tier 10.

And a few others also reached Tier 10 across many of the Military Branches of the Empire or the Major Noble Houses.

"Lord Admiral, they are already in range of our weapons."

Reported one of the staff to the Lord Admiral from the Navis Imperialis, who was dressed in the standard navy uniform, heavily decorated with various medals and awards, as he smoked a cigar.

"To all ships, you are free to fire; focus on the sure-to-kill ones."

The Lord Admiral puffed out smoke as he gave out the order, and not even a second later, all hundreds of the Voidships of different Classes started bombarding the incoming enemy at their top power.

Sure-to-kill targets were a designation for the enemies that the artillery could kill surely.

So, for example, if the Voidship can kill at least a Tier 9 enemy, it won't be attacking the Tier 10 enemy, whom it doesn't have a chance to injure.

"10% of the enemies have been eliminated, and the number is increasing, though those are mostly from the vassal species of the Venan Race. The Venans themselves are mainly unbothered by our artillery barrage."

Reported one of the staff once more, as the Lord Admiral nodded, predicting such an outcome.

Yet even this was a good result because the battlefield was cleared for their experts to fight, and they considerably lowered their numbers.

It was clear that the Venans planned to engage them in the space for whatever reason, but the one which was the most probable was the fact that any fight between them would result in large collateral damage on the plane itself, something that Venans wanted to prevent.

***

Meanwhile, during the time, the Voidfleets were bombarding the incoming experts of the Venan Race and their vassals to intercept them.

Sirzecchs was already levitating in the vast emptiness of the space, together with some of the high Tier experts from the Chthonian Empire.

Aside from Sirzechs, a few notable individuals of the Chthonian Empire were Feng Xiu, Ddraig Y. Goch or Diehauser Belial, who were all Tier 10 individuals with fearsome combat prowess to back them up.

Soon enough, the artillery barrage of the Voidfleet stopped because the incoming enemies were already pretty close to them, and right now, the fight would be moving in the close-combat direction.

"There is only one Tier 11 expert... one from the Venans; I will be taking care of him; the rest of you take care of Venans or other species."

Sirzechs ordered the people around him, as he soon saw the Tier 11 expert from the Venan Race. It was a purple-skinned muscular humanoid with shining blue eyes, wearing golden armor that fitted him very well, not covering his entire body, but only mainly the weak parts.

Without any warning and before they could reach, Sirzechs unleashed the full might of his Path, as endless waves of crimson-black energy of destruction materialized all around them, and like enormous tsunamis, they attacked incoming enemies.

Sirzech's Path was named The Star Extinguisher, a combination of Law of Destruction, Devour, Darklight, and a few other Laws, and because of that, the crimson-black energy of pure uncontained destruction was sparkling.

Compared to Zekram's own variant due to his Path as Incarnation of Destruction, which was refined, perfectly contained, and controlled, but Sirzech's own was nothing like that.

It was wild and uncontained, a primal form of the destruction itself, taking along everything it touched.

Seeing what was coming for them, the Tier 11 expert from the Venan Race stepped forward, and with the greatsword he was holding in his hand, with a swift wave, sent a slash of energy, which cut the destruction like a tsunami in half, in attempt to dissipate it.

Unfortunately for him, while he split it in half, he didn't stop or disperse, so he decided to use a special technique to protect himself from the destructive energy, which had already annihilated a few weaker experts under his command.

Other experts on his side instantly hurried behind him, where they took cover, not anticipating that the tsunami of the crimson-black energy suddenly turn around and attack them from the back, forcing the Tier 11 expert from the Venan Race to take out some protective artifact.

When he took out that small orb, he threw it above his head, and instantly a translucent barrier appeared around them, which was effortlessly blocking the attacks from the Sirzech's Path.

Sirzechs knew that it was something that his Ancestor created, and it was a futile attempt to break it through the raw force.

Seeing this, he took out a spear that was looking especially threatening to everything that was alive, as an overwhelming aura was seeping from the spear that Sirzechs was holding.

Even the Tier 11 of the Venan Race squinted his eyes in shock when he saw that weapon.

Then in a swift moment, Sirzechs threw the spear directly at the dome barrier, which was protecting the people from the Venan Race, as the space cracked from the aftershock when he threw it.

Instantly, the previously untouched barrier, which was created by the power of Tier 12 expert, cracked like nothing when the spear hit that Sirzechs threw at it.

Naturally, it was not an ordinary weapon.

Still, it was one of the consumable weapons, which were undoubtedly masterpieces on their own. They were imbued with the full power of the Father of All Devils, containing the terrifying power of The End and Godhoods that he possessed.

Their father distributed these weapons to all of his children, so they could have some means to defend themselves on this expedition in case an enemy attacked them they could not handle or encountered a situation that could not be solved without the interference of someone at Tier 12 like this time.

When the barrier crumbled into pieces, Sirzechs teleported in front of the Tier 11 expert of the Venan Race, sent a punch at him with his hand coated with the energy of the destruction and powered up by his Path.

Other people were also attacked by the powerhouses of the Chthonian Empire, as Ddraig transformed into his Dragon Form, which was already bigger than the Grade 9 plane itself, as he started chasing after some of the experts that the Venan man brought with him.

Feng Xiu elegantly decapitated several Tier 9 squid-looking people who were unfortunate to block his path towards one of the stronger Tier 10 experts.

The Tier 10 expert that Feng Xiu chose was one of the Venan Race, in appearance very similar to their leader.

Feng Xiu instantly teleported in front of the man, slashing at him with his sword, which was releasing a dangerous-looking purple aura that flamed like a burning fire, which was, in fact, very dangerous miasmatic dark energy that was burning everything to ash.

His opponent quickly reacted to the incoming attack, dodged to the side, and counterattacked with the golden polearm weapon he was holding, attacking Lord General Feng Xiu.

It was indisputable that Feng Xiu would lose in terms of physical strength in the first exchange; thus, seeing the Tier 10 Venan attacking him, he used the instantaneous teleportation spell to teleport backward, creating a distance between them.

When Feng Xiu was at a safe distance, he murmured something into his Holobrain.

Subsequently, in a split of a second, tens of Battleships started bombarding the Tier 10 expert, and surprisingly, causing him various degrees of injuries from the bombardment.

While the members of the Venan Race had inborn resistance towards various types of energies, something similar to which the Devils had, due to Father of All Devil machinations, theirs was stronger as it was on another level entirely.

Meanwhile, the Tier 10 expert of the Venan Race was defending against the artillery from the Battleships; Feng Xiu cast severe stealth spells on himself before teleporting behind the Tier 10 Venan.

With one swift movement of his sword, he pierced the Tier 10 Venan through his stomach.

Upon piercing him through his stomach, the purple miasmatic energy burst out of the sword and started devouring and burning the Tier 10 Venan from inside.

The man started screaming in pain and rage as his insides were being burned by the vicious miasmatic energy flame, soon enough turning him to ash.

***

Meanwhile, Ddraig Y. Goch, who was in his dragon form, chased another of Tier 9 squid-looking enemies as he crushed the expert between his jaws and gulped him down in one go.

'He was pretty tasty... weirdly, he tasted like an octopus, but probably that seems expectable.'

The Red Dragon Emperor thought as he looked at the rest of the squid-looking people, who were shivering in fear, seeing one of their own being killed and eaten at the same time, like he was just a snack for the humongous dragon.

He then spewed a massive mouthful of a dragon's flames, turning the nearest two squidoids into ashes as they crumbled instantly.

Flames of a Tier 10 dragon, a pinnacle Tier 10 dragon with special and mighty bloodlines, were not something that even an average Tier 10 being could take head-on without suffering severe injuries.

Generally, Dragons were one of the strongest species, no matter which universe they were in or what their origin was.

Then with a swipe of his tail, he pierced through the chest of the remaining squidoid expert as he dropped his body to his mouth, chewing on the squidoid like candy.

'I am still a bit hungry... I better go and try to kill one of the Tier 10s that are still alive.'

Ddraig thought while looking at the Tier 10 expert, who had a human-like appearance, before the humongous red dragon flapped his wings and attacked the Tier 10 expert with his claws, using some of his magic to boost himself and his attacks.

The man was shot backward like a cannonball in a single exchange, not able to withstand the overwhelming physical power of the peak Tier 10 dragon-like Ddraig.

The Red Dragon Emperor did not waste any second, as he flew immediately after him, sending at him various elemental attacks through the usage of the Dragon Chant Magic.

The human warrior defended against the attacks with his shield, though after some time, the shield started showing signs of cracking, which in the end happened after he was forced to block, Ddraig's tail attack.

After the shield broke, a massive wave of the dragon's breath followed before Ddraig destroyed his heart by crushing the man in between his claws.

After killing the Tier 10 expert, he immediately ate him because dragons could innately get stronger by eating the corpses of the other beings.

"Hmm... the battle is already ending... such disappointment."

He muttered as he looked around when he saw that the duel between his Emperor and enemy Tier 11 was already heading to the inevitable end.

While the people around them were being killed off one by one by the experts of the Chthonian Empire, Sirzechs was fighting against the Tier 11 expert from the Venan Race in an equal fight.

While the Tier 11 Venan was far stronger than the in the close combat, especially in the physical aspect, Sirzechs's attacks were more devastating.

'His vitality and endurance is really something... especially his defense. He is able to resist all of my attacks to a certain agreement, but it is clear that I am wearing him down slowly... but that is not enough.'

Sirzechs, though, if his enemy wasn't stupid, then he would try to end the fight as soon as possible.

In the long term, Sirzechs had a slight advantage because while he was expending a lot of Demonic Energy for his attacks, he was regenerating it very fast.

And as he predicted, the Tier 11 man of the Venan Race started slowly closing the distance, using various artifacts that were taking the hits for him as he was closing the distance between them, to which Sirzechs wanted to curse at his luck.

He shot another wave of the Dark Light Weaponry, but to his surprise, the Tier 11 Venan man just took the attacks with his own body as another protective treasure.

Seeing this, Sirzechs conjured several Dark Light Chains, imitating his technique and initiating the Chains of Heaven Style.

The Tier 11 Venan Man was stuck in the place, as the Dark Light Chains were enveloping his whole body, not allowing him to move an inch; he started struggling, attempting to break free from the Dark Light Chains, which were binding him down.

Soon enough, the Dark Light Chains started cracking one by one, which prompted Sirzechs to act very fast, immediately teleporting in front of the struggling enemy as he struck him with the full force of his Path, piercing through his stomach, causing the Tier 11 Venan Race man to cough mouthful of blood.

Second later, the remaining Dark Light Chains that were binding the Tier 11 Venan Race man cracked as he broke free from his bindings and hit Sirzechs into his chest, sending him flying through the emptiness of space.

'That hurt like hell... his physical force is no joke.'

Sirzechs thought when he recovered moments later. Due to the protection of his armor and his own power, he was largely okey, but he knew that a few more hits like this and his armor which was Empyrean-Grade Artefact on its own, would be broken into countless pieces.

He thus immediately used the Dark Light Chains once more, though this time, the Tier 11 Venan man awaited such a move and dodged the incoming chains.

Sirzechs was no newbie in using them, as he saw his father using this technique countless times and in many ways.

Thus instantly, the Dark Light Chains twisted backward and enveloped themselves around the right hand of the Venan expert, throwing him backward, allowing Srizechs to conjure several Star-like objects from his Path, The Star Extinguisher.

The moment the stars were created from the Path of The Star Extinguisher, they started shooting extremely destructive beams of energy at Tier 11 Venan man, which forced him to defend against the incoming barrage because he instantly recognized that they were above the limits that his physique and energy resistance could handle.

Not to mention this also had another side effect in the great scheme of this fight. With each contact the beams of The Star Extinguisher had with his body, they prompted the remnants of The Star Extinguisher's energy which was already in the Venan's body, to act faster.

And the effects were devastating and immediate; Sirzechs could see that the energy of the, The Star Extinguisher was slowly destroying and devouring the Venan expert from the inside, and each beam the Venan expert blocked just sped up the entire process.

Due to this, the Venan man attempted to dodge more and more beams, which just led to Sirzechs conjuring more and more of these Stars from The Star Extinguisher that was barraging the Tier 11 Venan with the beam attacks.

This continued for a while, as Sirzechs was very cautious not to let the Venan expert close the distance, and after ten or so minutes, he could see that the injuries on Tier 11 Venan man's body were becoming more and more severe.

Sending another wave of the attacks from the, The Star Extinguisher took the Venan expert like nothing, as he didn't have any power to resist all of these Law attacks, which was the bane of their species.

Instantly, he lost his entire right arm, while at the same time, he felt something piercing his shoulders; when he turned to look at it, he noticed that several Dark Light Chains, which were coated in the energy of The Star Extinguisher which allowed them to pierce through his defenses.

"?%@ˇ!"

The Venan expert cursed something at Sirzechs that he didn't understand before Sirzechs decapitated the man, as the energy of The Star Extinguisher soon enough dissolved his entire corpse to absolute nothingness.

"And it is done..."

Sirzechs muttered, seeing that his foe was finally killed, meaning they had an unhindered path to their target, which was another of the major planes of the Venan Race to gain the foothold for the next invasion.

After the conclusion between Sirzechs and Tier 11 Man, the fleets of the Chthonian Empire released swarms of mechs as they cleaned up the battlefield, scavaging the usable corpses that remained floating in the coldness of the space for later use.

Sirzechs, meanwhile, returned back to his Capital Ship, where his wife Cleria was already waiting for him while being in charge of the clean-up coordination.

For the Chthonian Empire, resources were always the first place, and they were not leaving anything unused, as everything had its own use.

"I see that you are busy..."

Sirzechs stated, only to be met with a sharp glare in his way by his wife.

"Maybe if you didn't destroy many of the corpses, then my day would be much better."

Cleria replied sharply.

Divine Star Region of the Astral Boundary, Unknown Time.

After the Hivemind of the Void Insect Swarm returned back to the Divine Star Region, the Myriad God Emperors were soon enough overwhelmed by a huge sense of despair and dread.

Not only did they lose one of the strongest Myriad God Emperors when the Myriad God Emperor of Underworld was killed, but now this.

When the Hivemind arrived back at the Divine Star Region, the hordes of Void Insects arrived with it too, and they started another wave of the ferocious offensive toward the remaining planes under the control of the local Gods.

Three Myriad God Emperors remained namely Myriad God Emperor of Light Fedarr, Myriad God Emperor of Dusk Thonion, and Myriad God Empress of Destiny Easis.

After they lost their Divine Avatars some time ago, the backslash they suffered was so severe that they were gravely injured, and their power got reduced exponentially.

The Hivemind was already searching for the culprit who schemed against the mighty swarm because, with its frightening intelligence and the information it obtained about the Astral Boundary Universe; it was able to deduce the person who was scheming against it.

The Hivemind of this concrete swarm was already a limit of Tier 12, just one step of the next evolution and becoming a Tier 13 Hivemind, something that would greatly enhance its power among other Hiveminds of the whole Void Insect Species, which were spread across the entire Endless Void.

Somewhere above the plane of the Myriad God Emperor of Light Fedarr, an enormous fleet of Bioships of the Void Insect Swarm appeared as it continued in its path towards the plane.

On the biggest of the Bioships, which could easily rival the ships of the Chthonian Empire, a lone figure was standing in one enormous empty dark room.

There was a sole figure of a humanoid; it appeared to be an appearance of man, a weird combination of appearances of human and void insect, together with certain features from other races, such as leathery wings like that of a dragon and horns of a Golden-Horned Fiend.

This was the Hivemind of this Void Insect Swarm.

When the Hivemind returned to the Divine Star Region, it immediately started the attack on the planes of the Gods, and especially on those that the Myriad God Emperor themselves directly controlled, to dispose of them as soon as possible.

Not to mention, their corpses and Divine Sparks are precious materials for the Hivemind and the whole Swarm, as they could reproduce several Tier 11 Bugs from them, which were right now needed very much, considering their loss at the battle in the Divine Star Region.

The Hivemind was looking from the bioship directly at the plane under the control of the Myriad God Emperor of Light Fedarr before it telepathically ordered the entire swarm to begin their assault.

After the Void Insects deal with a few gods and their Divine Kingdoms and Divine Legions, they develop effortless means how to deal with them.

The greatest weakness of their Divine Legions was that they were beings of energy, of extremely concentrated Divine Power, so the Hivemind developed and evolved a new kind of bug that was created for a sole purpose.

To feed on the Divine Power.

And thus, it released the Divine Eater Bugs, who swarmed the incoming Divine Legions like a swarm of locusts on wheat and started eating the Divine Legions.

Not only for the Divine Legions, these were the dark days, but from the billions of Divine Eater Bugs which were released into space and were literally feasting on the Divine Legiuosn of the Gods, some of them found their way even to the Divine Kingdoms.

The moment they arrived t the Divine Kingdoms of the Gods, who were also participating in the fight, right now with their true bodies, they started eating the kingdom apart. The Divine Kingdom of God was just a huge place of Divine Power given shape.

Not even a second later, the Hivemind itself decided to descend into the fright as it exited the bioship and started blasting apart the Divine Legions and gods one after another, killing its way towards the Myriad God Emperor of Light Fedarr, who was commanding the defense forces.

The Hivemind didn't waste its time, appearing near the Fedarr's actual body, gripping him by his throat and lifting him up; several tentacles sprouted from the Hivemind's body and pierced the entire body of the Myriad God Emperor of Light Fedarr through and through, especially the brain.

Instantly, the once glorious and strong body of mighty Tier 11 being started turning into a withered mummy in a matter of seconds. At the same time, the Hivemind devoured every genetic material it could and absorbed everything from the Fedarr.

"So Baatorians... as predicted."

The Hivemind stated as if saying the obvious. After devouring everything from the Fedarr, it also got his memories.

He knew exactly who orchestrated the entire thing because the Myriad God Emperors long ago realized who was the puppeteer behind the shadows.

Right now, even the Hivemind realized that it was played around by the Father of All Devils, who lured the Hivemind into attacking the Ancient Eternal Star Region.

It seemed that the machinations of that devil ran deep, way deeper than the Hivemind anticipated.

"Such troublesome enemy..."

While the Hivemind was extremely intelligent, it underestimated the natives of the Universe, a relatively common occurrence for many powerhouses or factions that were invading weaker or more primitive Universes.

Soon enough, the entire plane was overrun by the Void Insects, as they ate everything that could be or could not be eaten by the Void Insects.

Everything would be turned into biomass to create more and more Void Insects.

"And soon, the rest of the Universe will become my biomass."

The Hivemind stated as it looked all around the vastness of the space.

Not aware that its moves were all closely monitored by the Baatorians and that everything happening was within the prediction of the Father of All Devils.

MC POV

When I got the news that Sirzechs had succeeded in spreading our forces into the territory of the Venan Race, I was mildly surprised because I awaited a more considerable resistance from them, but alas, it was false.

The Taesci Race was hit the hardest, and they were withdrawing from the planes of lesser significance toward those more crucial for their species' survival and development.

This was an understandable strategy, as they didn't really have the power to fight us head-on.

Meanwhile, the situation with the Three-Eyed Race was getting worse by each other day, as the armies of the Dresden Arcanum Empire were literarily swarming into their territory and taking one plane after another.

While the Dresden Arcanum Empire was not so militaristic as the Chthonian Empire and the Baator, they were still an enormous war machine that now adjusted their entire nation to waging war on the Three-Eyed Race, and I must admit that they were doing splendidly.

I even got reports that Sigmar has reached Tier 11 in both his Class and Godhood, making him demon incarnate on the battlefield; just by himself, he broke several vassals species protected by some powerful Tier 11 experts into empty husks.

Tomorrow it was decided that I would be pushing for the offensive personally, attacking several important planes of the Taesci Race, possibly coming into a confrontation with their Ancestor, who was still severely injured.

In truth, I wasn't taking him even that seriously; what I was concerned about was the news about the Divine Star Region which should be coming with each second.

It was clear that the Myriad God Emperors won't be able to entertain the Hivemind for long, though that was only under the presumption that the Hivemind decided to go all out.

"The last Myriad God Emperor has been killed. We have confirmed that the Divine Kingdom of the Myriad God Emperor of Dusk Thorion has crumbled apart.

The Swarm should have full control over the entirety of the Divine Star Region as we speak now, and soon it would be making a move on the other parts of the Astral Boundary."

I closed my eyes when I heard Hela's voice, who returned back with this piece of news, as she sat down next to me, leaning over my arm.

"Dun, dun... the plot thickens as it seems."

Indeed things were getting more and more interesting... right now, I was wondering what the Hivemind would do next. I wasn't delusional and knew that the moment the Hivemind got its hands on the last surviving Myriad God Emperors, it confirmed its suspicion of everything being engineered by me.

That would attract the attention of the Hivemind to my persona, so there were two possible scenarios; one was that it would return back to the Eternal Ancient Star Region or that it would go to the Desolate Star Region to attack the Baator itself.

"What are the possibilities that the Baator would be attacked?"

Hela asked with visible concern. Attack by the pinnacle Tier 12 powerhouse was no joke, especially the one like the Hivemind of the Void Insect Swarm, which was already nearing Tier 13.

Even if I was sure that the plane could withstand it, it would leave tremendous damage on it, both to lives and properties.

"It's more like 50/50, though from my perspective, it would be more prudent to attack us here... even if the Hivemind is extremely powerful, it will not be able able to leave Baator uninjured, especially with the defenses I laid down there, and with additional Blackstone Fortress stationed at the Nessus."

Indeed, the Chthonian Empire of the Baator had, in fact, two Blackstone Fortresses; the existence of the second one was the utmost secret that was known only to my wives and me; nobody aside from us knew about it.

Not even the Elders of the Baator were aware of its existence.

If it comes to the worst situation, the Architect will personally activate it, taking control of the Blackstone Fortress and confronting the Hivemind directly.

"The Hivemind won't be taking its chances. Soon, by doing analysis and infiltrating the Baator up to a certain level, it will count that attacking the plane would cost more than gains, and thus it will decide on the most logical course of action."

I said as Hela finished the words for me.

"And that would be killing you here, where without the direct support of the Baator, it would be the best opportunity, then by obtaining the Control Command Sequence, it could essentially take over the Baator without any problem."

I nodded and gave Hela a kiss as a reward, happy at how smart my wife was.

"Indeed, such would be the plan... possibly I can catch all the fishes in my net with one swing of the rod."

I stated as our kiss turned more passionate. Clearly, Hela was in the mood for some more action than just fighting against the enemies of our glorious Empire.

***

Several hours later, after the pleasures activities were finished, Hela was in the mood to go and kill something; thus, I was forced to follow her to one of the nearby outposts of the Taesci Race, which she wanted personally slaughter with her Astral Army.

In the end, I gave the order to start the invasion of the further Taesci Territory several hours earlier than it was initially planned after getting news that Weissmann had personally fought with the Ancestor of the Three-Eyed Race, who used a naturally formed black hole to escape certain death.

From what Weissmann told me, he didn't have much to live with the current injuries that he had inflicted on him.

This was another good news in the end because I wanted to finish those three as fast as possible.

While their personal strength was not threatening to me, the real problem was the incoming Hivemind.

And I don't want to watch my back during the fight with the Hivemind, where even the slightest mistake could lead to certain death.
