3 Days before the approximate arrival of the Hivemind of the Void Insect Swarm, former Taesci Territory, Ancient Eternal Star Region.
MC POV
Laying down the countless traps and spell formations was indeed a hassle, even though I was using countless specialists in this department to help and delegated countless matters to them because this was something huge.
Preparing a spell formation that could be used to trap the peak Tier 12 permanently, practically a semi-Tier 13 entity, geniue one, not one like the Sirren after his power up, was a highly troublesome thing to do.
Even then, it took us a long time, and I even ordered the usage of the Dawn Pillars to act as the wardstones.
After being retrofitted with the Imperial Magetech and upgraded in many aspects, the Dawn Pillars were practically one of the most advanced pieces of technology we had at our disposal.
'How are the things on your end?'
I asked Weissmann through the telepathic connection we established through the spell, so we could communicate with each other, even across long distances, as each of us was in another part of the Ancient Eternal Star Region.
This was because the spell formation I designed for the Hivemind was two-layered.
The inner layer was that, what was located in the former territory of the Taesci Race, where once the Serpent Plane was.
The second one, the outer layer, was practically spread across the entire Ancient Eternal Star Region and was created from strategically placed Dawn Pillars in places with a high concentration of any kind of energy.
After the first layer, the inner layer is activated and has trapped the Hivemind; then immediately, the outer one will activate itself and support the inner layer. The sole purpose of the outer layer, is just to make the inner layer more stable and supply it with energy.
Because the Dawn Pillars were able to convert almost any kind of energy, we would be using this method so the inner layer could be maintained as long as needed because even though I was confident that this spell formation could entrap average Tier 12 powerhouses and probably even stronger ones indefinitely, in regard to the Hivemind, I wasn't that confident.
'We have finished planting the last Dawn Pillar and making sure there are no mistakes and malfunctions possible.'
With the outer layer done, we are basically prepared for the incoming confrontation. Additionally, each Dawn Pillar that was part of the outer layer was either hidden in some place that would require Tier 12 powerhouse or peak Tier 11 even to reach or were extremely heavily defended.
Practically all of the Tier 11 experts from the Dresden Arcanzum Empire, Chthonian Empire, Divine Blood Plane, and Dragon's Nest who were participating in this operation were tasked with the protection of the pillars and formation.
I anticipated that the moment when the formation is one, the Hivemind would try to destroy it with brute force.
When it fails, which I hope or I am sure it will, it will be calculating the situation and how to get out of this predicament.
With its capabilities and experiences, I have no doubt it won't take longer than one hour for the Hivemind to realize what has happened to it, and it will send its swarm to the locations of the Dawn Pillars to destroy them.
For that, they needed to be protected as much as possible.
Even the Voidfleets were stationed around them and would be used only as supportive participants in the fight because these would be high-end conflicts mainly between only top powerhouses of all sides.
Anything weaker than Tier 10 would be nothing more than just a nuisance and burden; thus I ordered our armies to pull back to the Baator. If they remained here, it would just increase the death rate to astronomical numbers.
Fighting against the Void Insects with numbers was a suicidal and foolish thing to do.
'Then return back to your position as fast as possible... right now, I really got a very bad feeling when I peeked into the future.'
I stated because when I used the Fate Algorithm to calculate the fate of the Hivemind, I noticed that the time of the arrival was uncertain, meaning that the Hivemind could arrive here at any moment, which was not really welcomed information.
Afterward, it took Weissmann three hours to arrive back at my position; we then waited for the inevitable arrival of the Hivemind that was plaguing our Universe.
And just like that, my innate feeling about this was getting worse and worse, as I kept subtly using the Fate Algorithm to calculate the fate, only to notice it was getting more and more uncertain and the percentage of getting less and less accurate after each calculation.
Only then did I realize that the Hivemind must have used something to hide its entire existence from things like the Fate Algorithm, and instantly the spark of greed was ignited in my very own being.
This Hivemind was a semi-Tier 13 entity that had roamed the Endless Void possible for ages.
It was unimaginable how much wealth, mainly some rare artifacts, resources, and other things, must have gathered from the destroyed Universes.
Usually, the Hiveminds took anything that had any value because even the things they couldn't use themselves, they could sell to those who could for things they needed, like biomass.
'Still... something that was capable of blocking the Fate Predctring Technique in a very similar way than my own constitution as the Fateless One is something that I must have.'
I thought because such artifacts were exceedingly rare, typically created only by extremely powerful Magic Users that delved deep into the mysteries of Fate or the cultivators in the strongest cultivation Universe that practiced Dao of Fate.
It means that the Hivemind just found it or destroyed such a place, especially the latter is pretty much terrifying even to me.
Either way, after one hour, I sensed a tremendous psychic pressure fall onto us as the Hivemind finally arrived.
And to meet its doom.
