3rd POV, Baator, approximately the same time as the attack on Underworld Garden has been concluded.

"Is everything prepared?"

Sounded the voice of the Emperor of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator, Sirzechs Lucifer, who was clad in his Runic Battle Armor, pulsating with the power of Tier 11 because he reached the Lord-Class several weeks ago.

He was one of the most talented people in the Empire, so when his father gave the order to release all resources, he was one of the people who benefitted the most because he drastically shortened his own way toward Tier 11.

Due to the presence of three Clan Traits in his body and the recklessness of his youth, as he comprehended several Laws that didn't fit in his Path, he had a hard time undergoing the Law Fusion and creating his own Path.

Due to that he was stuck at his level for several centuries, and would be for millennia to come, if not for his father's order.

"Yes, My Emperor, all Fleets and Armies are in the place; we are waiting for your order to depart for the Ancient Eternal Star Region."

Answered the person standing behind the Emperor, as they were on the top of the balcony in the Bronze Fortress on the Avernus Layer, which was basically the sole entry point to the Baator.

Below the Bronze Fortress, one could see millions of soldiers from the Imperialis Miliotarum, clad in their Battle Armors, marching in a perfectly synchronized formation as they boarded countless voidcrafts, ready to depart for the War.

The person standing behind Sirzechs was wearing the golden Runic Battle Armor of Custodians and holding a lance in his right hand. He had black hair, in a short cut with violet eyes; even though the armor was big, it couldn't hide the man's muscular physique like that of life long martial artist.

"Then give the order for the attack, Sairaorg."

The man was Sairaorg Bael, the current Captian-General of the Adeptus Custodes and of course, one of the Peak Tier 10 powerhouses in the Empire, not like the Emperor, who was even stronger than he needed the protection, but it was a formality.

And, of course, the Custodians were "devils" on the battlefield.

Sairaorg spent his entire life in the Custodians after he was sent there by his Ancestor Zekram because, for his father, he was a disgrace for most of his life due to his Power of Destruction being dormant.

He never bothered with the duties of the Noble Houses, and even though he was technically the Heir during that time, the moment he conceived a child with his wife Kuisha Abbadon, he dropped the "responsibility" onto his son because being Noble meant he had duties to territory, which in turn meant lots of paperwork and administrative works.

Even Captain-General of Adeptus Custodians did some of those. However, not even one-tenth was done by the Noble Houses of the Eques Rank.

So for him, it was better than being stuck in some office, reading through stacks of papers and doing a boring administrative job like some rat all over again.

"The attack on the Ancient Eternal Star Region should be carried out as fast as possible. We got the message that the Hivemind had left the Ancient Eternal Star Region for the Divine Star Region, but it still managed to destroy countless factions there and even severely injure one of the Tier 12 powerhouses of the Ancient Eternal Star Region, while the other three received various degrees of injuries..."

Sirzechs muttered to himself while thinking over the recent development.

"Zeoticus has reached Tier 12, and his power should be no less than those old monsters in the Ancient Eternal Star Region, and on top of that, we have finished one Blackstone Fortress."

Commented Asura, who was sitting on the sofa together with Zekram as they were having a party of Go.

Both of them were very old even compared to Sirzechs, as Zekram was several thousand years old even before the Chthonian Empire was formally established, and Asura was too an old fossil.

Playing strategic games was something that both of them enjoyed greatly, especially Zekram; he even collected them as a hobby.

"The Blackstone Fortress is finally finished?"

Questioned Zekram, surprised because he didn't think that they would manage to construct it or rather finish the construction this fast.

The Blackstone Fortress was the pinnacle of the Arcanotech and a marvel of engineering that reached the combat prowess comparable to very strong Tier 12.

The amount of resources required to construct even one was astronomical, and the engine of the Blackstone Fortress was made with the Planar Core of Primary Grade 2 Plane as base material.

"With this, we should be able to conquer large territories of the Ancient Eternal Star Region, especially the Taesci Species territories are absolutely fucked up, and their Tier 12 Ancestor is apparently on the verge of death."

Stated Asura, as they were now planning to strike at the place which was the most vulnerable.

Ancient Eternal Star Region was filled with countless resources. However, it was divided into a few very strong factions, each headed by Tier 12 Ancestor, and those which weren't still had a very high concentration of the Tier 11 Powerhouses.

Not something that the Chthonian Empire could invade or change on their own, but the appearance of the Void Insect Swarm, instantly changed everything.

When they lured the Hivemind into the Ancient Eternal Star Region, not only did they weaken the Swarm, but they also messed up the political landscape of the entire Star Region.

"That should be enough; the territories of the Taesci are enormous, not to mention that majority of the Ancient Eternal Star Region has suffered due to the Hivemind."

Sirzechs said, as he looked at the first fleet of the Navis Imperialis to take off from the Avernus as they went towards the Ancient Eternal Star Region.
