Space around the phantom of the Spider Queen Lolth cracked as the Divine Kingdom of Spider Queen Lolth appeared, and her phantom dispersed while sucking force brought out the real body of the Goddes of Drows to the Mortal Plane.
After her body was dragged to the Mortal Plane, the space crack leading to her Divine Kingdom closed automatically.
"Now, we can start."
I walked in front of the Spider Queen Lolth and placed my right hand on her forehead as several mysterious symbols appeared on her head; as I started reading her memories and everything she knew.
"So this is it... interesting. Unfortunately for you, my dear goddess, you have outlived your usefulness."
I stated as I killed her instantly, leaving behind only her Divine Spark. I picked up her Divine Spark and drained it immediately; unfortunately, it didn't increase my Godhood Index much, as Lolth was too weak for something like that.
I chose to kill her, mainly because she couldn't be trusted, as a person who would betray another without batting an eye. Even if she signed a Blood and Soul Void-Geass, I would never take a person with characteristics of Lolth into the Chthonian Empire.
"Did you find anything useful from her memories?"
Asked Grayfia soon after I was done.
"Yes, there are 10 Supreme Divinity Stage Gods in the Feisuo Plane, known as Primordials. The reason why no Warlock Emperor could fully occupy Feisuo Plane and often controlled only the majority of the plane or took some resources and left is due to the existence of Empyrean-Grade Artifact, which could be activated collective by all Supreme Divinity Stage Gods, which allowed them to kill even powerhouses strong as Warlock Emperors if needed. Of course, this method had its drawbacks. After using it, all Primordial Gods fall into a deep slumber and need a lot of time to recuperate. Though it has enough destructive prowess to hurt and injure mighty entities such as Taboo Lord or Arcane Lords that invaded Feisuo Plane."
I stated as the situation wasn't as bad as previously expected. I also got an identity of all Supreme Divinity Stage Gods and some locations where some of them were slumbering, as Lolth had rather extensive knowledge about the movements of the other gods.
Each Pantheon had one Supreme Divinity Stage God, while three Supreme Stage Gods, with the most powerful being the Goddess of Weave Gargarstave, were so-called Neutral Gods. She was the only one who didn't need to go to slumber after each use of the artifact because of her control over the weave, which helped her to distribute the backslash.
Additionally, obtaining Empyrean-Grade Artifact sounded good, as Chthonian Empire had only a few of the Empyrean-Grade Artifacts, which were obtained either through many hardships or great luck as they were precious.
For example, the Phalanx-Class Space Fortress that was located in the 9th Layer of Baator Nessus was also comparable to the Empyrean-Grade Artifact.
"Hela take out the corpse of the god from the Zaliah Pantheon and leave it here... we will put the blame for Lolth's death on Zaliah; with luck, those idiots from Dark Gods Pantheon will instantly attack those of the Zaliah Pantheon and kill each other at least some of them until other Pantheon's intervene. In the meantime, we will start war across the entire mortal plane; after all, when Dark Gods Pantheon attacks Zaliah Pantheon, the majority of gods would watch it instead of monitoring the mortal plane."
I ordered as Hela went to work to fabricate the "crime scene".
"At first, we will need to locate and kill two neutral Supreme Divinity Stage Gods, Irtarr and Khonglir. Both of them are without any faction, and right now, killing Goddes of Weave would do more damage than good."
Irtarr was God of Destruction, and in terms of destructive ability, he was the most powerful god of the Feisuo Plane; if not for Gargarstave having absolute control over weave, he would have reigned as supreme hegemon of the Feisuo Gods.
Meanwhile, Khonglir was God of the Order, who often acted as a mediator between various Pantheons, especially when Supreme Gods were in some kind of conflict; his main task was to maintain a certain balance across the Feisuo Plane's gods, mainly because if outsiders attacked them so that they could defend themselves.
"I think it would be most productive to kill Irtarr at first. He is the strongest combatant and is a typical hermit, nobody would probably even notice that he was killed in the first place, and they will know only when it is too late. Additionally, the fact that he has the least amount of worshippers is playing into our cards, as most of them are cultists who are wanted by all Pantheons aside from the Dark Gods Pantheon."
Proposed Vena as we all agreed with her in that aspect.
Irtarr's worshippers didn't have the best reputation across the mortal world of the Feisuo Plane, and they were cultists that sometimes had an even worse reputation than Churches devoted to the Dark Gods Pantheon, which was already pretty low.
"After I obtained Wisdom Apple, we can start our move. Fia, do you have a list of species that could be either subjugated and be integrated into the Chthonian Empire?"
I asked shortly after.
Empire always welcomed those who had some skill and swore their loyalty to the Baator and Chthonian Empire under Blood and Soul Void-Geass. During these two and a half thousand years, we have recruited countless species into the Empire, from planes were have visited or conquered.
"Of course, most prominent are Kindreds, Dragons, and Dwarves. Apparently, there are several millions of dwarves inhabiting the Feisuo Plane, which is a lot, and they don't have very good relationships with human countries that are periodically waging war on them. Dragons could be easily recruited if some of our strong dragons defeat theirs. At the same time, Kindreds are even less of the concert, and the only thing needed is to send Pale Blood and force them to join under bloodline pressure."
