Across the Astral Boundary, in the Baldaquin's Dungeons.
"So, what did you get from them?"
I asked Hela while giving her a kiss on the cheek for a piece of a good job, as she was finished with "interrogation" for two Great Step Holy Spirit Warlocks of the Wind God Palace.
"Surprisingly, the Wind Emperor is still alive after he faked his death to prevent the rest of the Warlock Imperial Courts from sending their people to kill him after he was injured. Even though he was injured several some Eras ago, he managed to recuperate secretly, and right now, he is back to his full power. This information is something known only to the highest leaders of the Wind God Palace and Great Step Holy Spirit Warlocks of the Wind God Palace."
Stated Hela carefully.
As it appeared, more and more hidden experts thought to be long dead were, in fact, still alive.
But that was not what gave me a realization about this situation.
"That Avatar of the Dawn Lord... it must have reached Myriad God Emperor; if not, Wind God Palace, which has the backing of strong Warlock Emperor, wouldn't be talking with them on equal grounds. If the God Avatar of the Dawn Lord reached that level already, then we are greatly blessed by lady luck that we managed to capture his reincarnation before anything else."
I exclaimed.
It sounded logical; Wind God Palace was always an arrogant bunch as they were directly descended from the independent Warlock Emperor without the support of the Canghzi's Plane deep foundation of the Warlock Path.
Suppose they were talking with Sunrise Alliance as equals. In that case, it means the Sunrise Alliance must have similar backing, and the only option is God Avatar of the Dawn Lord.
Right now, what I was feeling was elation.
An elation that I would get to fight a powerful Myriad God Emperor this early. While the Divine Kingdom of extremely powerful Myriad God Emperor, such as Dawn Lord, who controlled the entire Primary Grade 2 Plane as a sole god, was troubling, it only increased my battle lust to fight against him.
"Don't bother interrogating Argimiro at all. His soul is probably directly connected to the Divine Kingdom of Myriad God Emperor Avatar, and without breaking the seal, we won't be able to search him, and we need him alive and fine for our trick to work."
I said as Hela reluctantly nodded, as she hugged me with puppy eyes, probably wanting me to ask to let her fight with the Dawn Lord's God Avatar.
"When we arrive at the Wind God Plane, you can fight with the Wind Emperor; I need to collect data on the Myriad God Emperors in preparation for the future."
Hela started seductively bumbling on my ear in an attempt to persuade me otherwise.
"While I am not against sex, it will not change my opinion."
I noted, while grabbing her perky ass as I kissed her deeply.

Around the same time, with the Sardaukar Fleet.
"This was the last one, Commander."
Saluted Vice-Commander of the Sardaukar Forces.
"We managed to clear 17 Planes and got rid of 29 Warlock Factions within five days; that is an achievement. Among the killed, we got 6 Warlock Monarchs and one very, very, very old Holy Spirit Warlock that I think time would kill him for us if we waited a few more days."
Said Arthur indifferently from the throne on his personal Adjudicator-Class Juggernaut Capital Ship that belonged to the Pendragon Family. In the Chthonian Empire, every High Lord House and Higher have the right to buy a Capital Ship for themselves and use it as a personnel means of transportation in space.
"When will the Jihad be declared, My Lord?"
Questioned Vice Commander carefully, as Arthur's expression remained unchanged at all.
"Soon, very soon, probably sooner than we initially planned, as clean-up is going faster than we thought. It appears were overestimated the strength of the Warlocks. It is clear that aside from those with the inheritance of Tier 12 and Tier 11, the rest of them don't have even power to put up a decent fight."
Stated Arthur as he contemplated about the current course of things.
"Where are we going now, My Lord?"
Right now, their mission was done, as they managed to destroy a lot of independent Warlock Factions, cutting a lot of lifeblood for the Warlock Imperial Courts.
"Heavenly Plane. I got a message from the father-in-law that the final act before the start of the War is going to happen right now. We are to meet with the Khaos on the way, and at the meeting point, other forces of the Military would be waiting for us."
Stated Arthur as he got a message from his father-in-law.

MC POV
Baldaquin
I woke from a good sleep after having a round with Hela, and after that, my other wives joined and it turned into a small orgy that was going on for more than 10 hours. After I had slept for around one entire day, just because I loved sleeping, I got woken up by the Architect saying that we were closing the meeting point with forces that would be invading the Heavenly Plane.
I chose to commence the invasion of the Heavenly Plane as soon as possible for a simple reason.
The longer the Dawn Lord's God Avatar knew that his reincarnation was captured, the better prepared he would be for the inevitable battle. Thus it was in our best interest to end this matter as soon as possible.
We were a good long distance from the Heavenly Plane, so they could not detect it in their proximity, as the forces of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator were gathering.
I could see that people roaming the Astral Boundary were running away the moment they saw imposing Voidships and sensed the overwhelming aura of people that were at the ships themselves.
