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.
