3rd POV
Canghzi Plane, Turandot Subcontinent, Underground World.
"Has everything been transported back to the homeland?"
Question Crown Prince Abrasax leaders of the expedition to the Canghzi Plane.
"Yes, Your Highness. Everything has been sent back; right now, the last of our troops are pulling back to the Baator."
Answered one of the members of the Adeptus Custodes who were tasked with the protection of the Crown Prince.
"Excellent... when will they arrive at the subcontinent?"
Asked Abrasax.
Recently Warlocks have started great cleaning of their factions from the influence of the Baatorians. The purge was brutal, as Warlock Imperial Courts and even some hidden faction that houses Warlocks Monarchs that were still in the surface world of the Canghzi Plane participated.
In the Western World, three Immortal Halls properly cleared out their backyards, which cost Abrasax almost all of his pawns. However, he was long ago ready for that, as he was aware that this expedition as a whole was doomed to fail from the start.
His true mission was only to create chaos between the Warlock factions, thus weakening them as a whole, additionally to collect resources and information.
Practically all of them were even more than successful. He managed to drain countless factions of their resources, and on top of that, he practically obtained countless Warlock Monarch Hellions and even several Holy Spirit Hellions, including three Quasi-Empyrean Hellions who have been transported back to the homeland for the study.
That was one of the most important legacies of the researchers of the Taboo Dynasty. Hidden in a small corner of the world, on a barren subcontinent, in its underground world.
Magister Beelezbub was delighted that he could study the Hellions; not only that, he even entered the state of enlightenment and soon would be apparently reaching the Tier 10 Dimensional-Class.
And same could be said about his father, who reached the limit of Laws he could comprehend as a Tier 9 Apocalypse-Class and reached Tier 10 Dimensional-Class a few weeks ago.
"Your Highness, the plans in the Great Cloud Dynasty went even better than anticipated, and Bai Wuqing declared war on Eight Great Sects in his delirious state, and even some of the Aristocratic Families weren't spared from his wrath."
Reported one of the spies.
"How they fare?"
Asked Abrasax curiously.
"Battle Demon Sect has abandoned the Canghzi Plane for their hidden plane. Same about the Bright Moon School. Myriad Snow Gate and Corpse Demon Sect were already annihilated. Saint Demon Sect and Star River Sect are now in the final preparation of fleeing the Canghzi Plane. Golem Gate was besieged and disbanded, and its remnants are merged into the Alchemy Division of the Great Cloud Dynasty. The fate of others is unknown. Great Cloud Dynasty is having the upper hand as they went all out in surprise attacks and managed to cripple most of their enemies before the war even began."
Answered the spies as Abrasax's lips curled into a cruel smile.
"Good, very good. Use the remaining people and cultists to spread as much chaos as possible. Let the surface warlocks kill each other; at least many talents would be killed, preventing the birth of dangerous powerhouses."
Ordered Abrasax as he then left the meeting room and went to the surface.

Several hours later.
Near the Turandot Subcontinent, an enormous fleet of battleships was sailing the sea towards the coastline. There were hundreds of them, and each was filled with the top warlocks of the Great Cloud Dynasty, and there were even top warlock powerhouses from the hidden factions, including tens of Infinity Warlocks.
Abrasax was hidden under the effect of the concealment spell as he sneered at stupid human warlocks.
"Actually sailing without any proper protections... what an idiots."
He frowned as he used his two Clan Traits.
Water Control and Sea Serpent of the End.
Water Control was the Clan Trait of the Sitri House, which allowed one to have absolute control over the water. Not only control, in later stages, one could even create water from the moisture in the air, and most importantly, when the Clan Trait was mastered, then one was unbeatable in places where was a huge amount of water.
Sea Serpent of the End was Clan Trait of the House Leviathan. It Allowed the user to control vast amounts of water, which they can manipulate into various shapes, including creating a water beast and allowing the user to transform into a large snake like-dragon.
When these two Clan Traits were used together in a place like a sea, Abrasax could beat even proper Apocalypse-Class powerhouses, despite the fact that he was still only a Super Devil at Law Baptism.
Suddenly the water started rising as several Sea Dragon Water Constructts rose from the sea and violently slammed down at the warlock fleet.
Abrasax could hear the screams of the Warlocks, who were either lucky to survive or were grievously wounded from the attack. Using Sea Serpent of the End in combination with Water Control was extremely destructive, especially when used on the Sea.
While Abrasax's power in these two Clan Traits was inferior to his mother, as he inherited only normal Clan Traits, not the rare mutation, which included Ice Control.
Few of the Infinity Warlocks managed to escape from the destruction of the fleet. They flew into the air in an attempt to escape from the Sea Dragon Constructs. Still, it was to no avail, as Abrasax waved his hand, as the Sea Dragon Constructs instantly crashed at the Infinity Warlocks, killing them instantly on the spot.
