Indeed, not even several seconds later, after I returned back to the Blackstone Fortress, I was getting a barrage of scolding from Vena and Fia, who took great joy in being able to berate me for my recklessness, as I could just hang my head in shame and defeat.

At least Hela was looking at me with pride but was not saying anything because of some sort of tactful agreement between the three of them.

Such was the disadvantage of having multiple wives because, in the end, they could ally together and hound me as one.

"Okey, okey, I won't do it again... but look at it from the bright side, I won and I am pretty much healthy and we didn't suffer any losses. If not for that, then the self-destruction of it would be disastrous for the entire Astral Boundary Universe."

I stated because, in the end, they agreed that even though it was a reckless stunt to try directly control the Ruination. Still, in the end, I managed to save the lives of countless upon countless citizens of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator.

If the Great Serpent had self-destruction, then the entire Expeditionary Fleet would have been turned to dust, and only a handful of people would have survived it.

"With this, we can push to the other parts of the Ancient Eternal Star Region... depending on what the other Tier 12 experts will do..."

I stated this because, in truth, I had some prediction that the Ancestor of the Venan Race would probably escape to the Endless Void; the probability of such an outcome happening was more than 90%.

With Sirren dead, Ancestor of the Three-Eyed Race was practically on the verge of being killed by Weissmann soon enough; it would be pretty understandable that the Ancestor of the Venan Race would leave.

I already expected that he was already long gone because Sirzechs reported that nobody had seen him for a long time.

On top of that, Sirzechs already stated that Venans were becoming more and more nervous on the battlefront and were especially careful when they were doing any maneuver.

"And the rest of the Tier 12 experts that were noted to be still alive, probably?"

Grayfia asked me, as this could be a serious concern, but I only shook my head in denial.

"If those were still present in the Astral Boundary, they would have shown themselves when the Hivemind invaded the Ancient Eternal Star Region, but no such thing happened. So, my guess is that they already left the Astral Boundary and the species and factions they left behind are probably just concealing this matter."

I summarized the situation on hand, and even if there were some of the Tier 12 experts remaining here, I would be taking care of it.

Considering my newfound power from Devouring a large part of the existence of the Great Serpent, my Demonic-God Force was increased tremendously and I was ready for the incoming enemies.

In truth, I was now even more confident even against the Hivemind.

Right now, the only thing I needed to do, was to devour more things like the Great Serpent, which would tremendously increase my Demonic-God Force and even my Godhood was already on the verge of reaching the Annuled state, becoming a Tier 12 God through my Godhood method.

Afterward, I only needed to fuse the two together and reach the Tier 13 finally at last, and with the inevitable creation of the Baatorian Universe, I would become a Universe Master in an instant.

So in one move, I would become one of the top experts through the Endless Void.

After the Great Serpent was killed and practically the entire Taesci Race fell to the ground, the armadas of the Chthonian Empire had the free hand the waging wars against the remnant of the once great species.

Several days later, as I predicted, I got information from Sirzechs that they managed to breach through the defensive wall that the Venan Race built, and from the interrogation of one of their Tier 11 experts, he managed to find that Ancestor of the Venan Race has escaped to the Endless Void.

This was essentially concealed and hidden by the higher-ups of the Venan Race.

After this info broke out to the wider population of the Venan Race, their population crumbled like a house of cards and we conquered one plane after another, achieving flawless victories in a row.

Right now, the only things that were going on were planning the steps against the Hivemind; from the situation in the Divine Star Region became clear that the Hivemind with the mind Hivefleet had departed for the Ancient Eternal Star Region.

The strategy of the fight was decided to be as follows:

Due to huge numerical disadvantage, we would be using our vastly superior firepower to create a line of fortified lines and Voidships while the high-end experts of the Chthonian Empire, Dresden Arcanum Empire and even some of the Divine Blood Plane and Dragon's Nest would take charge for the Hivemind and commanding bugs.

Especially the Superbrain Bugs that were in charge of commanding and controlling the other bugs.

I have decided that the main battlefield would be the place where I have fought against the Great Serpent because everything there was already destroyed and the instability of space could be used to our advantage.

Right now, I was laying out the Wards around the entire place together with some experts on the Wards, Defensive Barriers and Bounded Fields from the Chthonian Empire and Dresden Arcanum Empire.

The firepower of the Bioships that Void Insect Swarms used for their travel wasn't particularly strong, but they had countless of them.

To be not overrun by the sheer number of the bioships, it was decided that we would be implementing several layers of the defense to slow them down, possibly entrap them.

At the same time, we could make use of the floating celestial objects from the destroyed planes and so on to hide the majority of our fleet, tricking the Hivemind that we have low numbers; technically it should work.

Or probably not.

Depends on the fact if the Hivemind decides to be careful or not in its approach.
