บท 398: Disturbing News from the Divine Star Region

Several days later, after we departed from Schattenreich City, on my departure for the Baldaquin, I got disturbing news from the Weissmann as I was leaving.

Apparently, the entire home plane of the Myriad God Emperor of Destruction Irtarr fell within one day, and even Irtarr was instantly killed. This was an unprecedented situation that had never happened before, and everyone who became aware of it was horrified.

It meant a single thing.

Enemies from the Void or another Universe invited the Astral Boundary Universe, but the void case was more probably. If it was another Universe, the situation would be different. From the initial analysis, it was concluded that the Astral Boundary became a target of the Void Insect Swarm.

This entire action had a pattern of the Void Inscests, which was... one word... or two...

We are all fucked up.

Even weakest Swarm was led by Tier 12 Hivemind, there was no possibility that the Astral Boundary could survive if it is Tier 13 Hivemind, then we are all fucked up, and only the fastest to escape would survive.

When I heard that, I chose to fasten all my plans to elevate the Baator to the Grade 1 Plane so I could fuse all of the God Slots into my body and start realizing my plan to elevate the Baator to the Universe and ascend to the higher Tiers.

Dealing with the Void Insect Swarm smelled like shit, and even though I should be glad, the first target they chose were Gods of the Divine Star Region; in the end, that was a bad thing. While the Gods of the Divine Star Region are leeches of the Astral Boundary Universe, being devoured by the Swarm was a shitty situation.

Basically, the Swarm gets more biomass to create more insects and bugs, which means stronger and more numerous their forces would be. Especially with the Divine Spark, they could create mutation of God Bugds or whatever, which would be a nightmare to fight against.

So either way, the situation was very bad, though it would depend on the Swarm.

If it was led by Tier 13 Hivemind, then the only way would be an escape. If it was led by Tier 12 Hivemind, we could fight and win, though we would be suffering enormous losses.

Though... this could be used to our benefit as well.

Ancient Eternal Star Region should be strong enough to hold its own against the incoming Swarm for a long time, as there were even some Tier 12 beings sleeping, so the only thing I needed to do, was to direct the trajectory of the Void Insect Swarm towards the Ancient Eternal Star Region and let them fight to the death.

Afterward, it would be easier to kill those who survived.

Ancient Eternal Star Region was always a reclusive place, where its inhabitants just fought among themselves, but even despite the constant wars and carnage that was filling the place, it was the stronger Star Region. The ratio of powerhouses of the Ancient Eternal Star Region to other Star Regions was several times higher.

It was a very strong place, filled with countless powerhouses, and even had tens of Tier 11 ones. But also on the other hand, just as many powerhouses were in the Ancient Eternal Star Region, there were also countless factions.

"We are returned home as soon as possible... there are many things to do."

I said to my wives as they looked at me confusedly because I didn't tell them yet of anything that Weissmann had told me this morning. After the Baldaquin left the Dresden Plane, I was sitting on my throne at the Throne Room of the Baldaquin as I watched the Universe.

I always liked it... observing the stars and space when I was traveling with the voidship.

"Husband, what is happening? You look stressed from the meeting with Weissmann?"

Asked Vena, as she was easily able to deduce something was bothering me. Among my wives, she was the one with the highest empathy and could always tell how someone was feeling.

"Void Insect Swarm has invaded the Astral Boundary Universe, and they are currently wreaking havoc in the Divine Star Region... territories of the Myriad God Emperor Irtarr have already fallen."

I said bluntly, as all of them were shocked to hear that we were about to face Void Insect Swarm.

"For now, we need to return to the Baator, and the process of evolution to the Grade 1 Plane is to be speeded up as much as possible. Fia, how is the process of clean up of the Canghzi Plane and other evolutionary planes?"

I stated as I looked at Grayfia, who opened her Holo-Brain and searched for some information. All four of them knew that this was not time to be overwhelmed by fear because that would be a natural reaction if someone found out their Universe was invaded by the Void Insect Swarm.

Especially Bibi Dong, because her Universe was, sooner or later, too be invaded by the Void Insect Swarm. However, for some reason, the Hivemind in control of the Swarm up there was still observing the Universe and didn't make any moves yet...

I came to the conclusion that Shao Universe should have some active Tier 13 experts.

"We would be done with clearing out what remained after the Warlocks in one year if we mobilize other forces for the task, but all the resources and natural things..."

She said as I knew that by letting Baator assimilate the planes where not all resources have been mined, cut down, or transported would be basically lost.

"Focus priority on those of Tier 9 and higher; highest priority is for the unique lifeforms, magical beasts, and monsters. You have one year."

I said as my wife nodded because we needed to move fast.

In truth, the World Engine I used to move the Baator from the Dimensional Gap was studied, broken apart, and constructed once more. I had a failsafe in case the Void Insect Swarm proved to be powerful; after the evolution of the Baator to the Grade 1 Plane, I would activate the World Engine and teleport the entire plane somewhere to a safe location within the Void.
