The Heavenly Plane was a Primary Grade 2 Plane that was the residence of the Dawn Imperial Court and was where the forces of the God Avatar of the Dawn Lord were concentrating their efforts.
As a matter of fact, the entire plane was protected by an ancient artifact that, for a short period of time, was able to stop even attacks from Tier 12 powerhouses by creating a translucent barrier with a pattern of Dawn around every corner of the plane.
Therefore, in order to enter the plane and disable the protection, we needed the Reincarnation of the Dawn Lord, who entered the plane and sabotaged the protection.
Our Void Fleet has finished encircling the entire plane with its powerhouses, while the Sunrise Alliance centered around the Dawn Imperial Court, as well as Dawn Lord's God Avatar were preparing for a defensive war against the invasion forces of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator.
"It will be starting soon."
Stated Hela leisurely as she was observing the incoming war. She was already feeling how her Godhood was becoming slightly stronger by absorbing all these feelings around the War, be it despair, expectations, slaughter intent, and many, many more. She also had Divinity over War, so being in the center of war, empowered her greatly.
While I was holding Dawn Lord's Reincarnation Argimiro in my hand, I activated the spell I had already prepared for the occasion; as Argimiro's eyes dimmed and his expression resembled a lifeless husk, the translucent dawn-like defensive barrier that protected the Heavenly Plane began to disappear in a split of a second.
All of this was accompanied by the enraged shout of the Dawn Lord's God Avatar, who instantly projected his Divine Kingdom and sent a powerful shooting star-like attack at the Baldaquin, as God Avatar sensed that something was wrong with his Reincarnation, which led him to realize that he had been fooled when the barrier vanished.
When I saw the incoming attack, I swiftly reacted by throwing Argimiro at Diablo in front of the incoming attack. I raised my hand with my right hand just above my shoulder, and with the use of the Decomposition Magic Rule, which materialized around my right hand, I broke all incoming attacks on our void fleet.
'Myriad God Emperor supported by his Divine Kingdom is really something else.'
I thought in my head as I sweated a little, just a little.
My Starfall Magic Rule materialized several objects that resembled stars, as they literally fell upon the incoming Dawn Lord God Avatar, but more precisely, these attacks were not simply aimed at him, but rather, they were aimed more at his Divine Kingdom as well.
The best course of action when fighting a god who has the Divine Kingdom is, first of all, to disable his ability to use his Divine Kingdom, which means cutting off his support in order to defeat him.
Meanwhile, as Dawn Lord's Myriad God Emperor God Avatar and I started our duel, the battle between others had already begun to, as the Void Fleets started bombardment of the Heavenly Plane, and our powerhouses engaged those of the Sunrise Alliance.
The Dawn Lord's Myriad God Emperor God Avatar exploded with an enormous amount of power; as I instinctively stepped back as; I felt that something had gone wrong and as I instinctively stepped back, I felt that something had become weird.
It did not take me long for me to realize what had happened; I could see invisible energy flowing out of Baldaquin Castle and flowing to Dawn Lord's Myriad God Emperor God Avatar.
'Master, Argimiro is dead... his soul was somehow devoured by the Dawn Lord's Myriad God Emperor God Avatar.'
I heard Diablo's voice in my head as I easily put two + two together.
As expected from an old monster that has been alive for countless Eras.
When he realized that the Reincarnation of the Dawn Lord, ergo Argimiro, was captured by us and brainwashed, he activated the failsafe that the Dawn Lord's Myriad God Emperor God Avatar left in his soul and with help and on the expenditure of his Divine Kingdom, the Dawn Lord's Myriad God Emperor God Avatar devoured his Reincarnation.
Suddenly light exploded from his body, and an enormous amount of life force started flowing from the Heavenly Plane directly to his body. With my senses, I could see that he was sacrificing all living lifeforms on the Heavenly Plane; all of his worshippers and even 80% of Warlocks were sacrificed, and only the most powerful ones were left out.
When the transformation ended, overwhelming power burst out of his body, pushing back everything in sight, as even I was feeling the pressure he was releasing.
"So, in the end, you succeeded at least partially."
Indeed, this was...
..
.
Somewhat exciting.
I could clearly see that he managed to combine his Myriad God Emperor Rank with the remnant power of Warlock Emperor Dawn Lord to create something new. If I should give some estimation, he was probably more powerful than me in terms of raw power, and with the usage of Divine Kingdom, I would probably be overpowered rather fast.
Unfortunately for Dawn Lord, forcibly combining the cultivation system never paid off, as he basically crippled himself right now with this stunt. He won't be able to increase his cultivation, and not only he would never reach Tier 12, but he would be stuck at the exact same level and stage he was now, not to mention
From the energy he was released, even though it was overpowering, it was extremely unstable, so much unstable that it would backslash at him if he used too much of it at the same time.
I summoned my Staffblade, which was finally created, and the moment it was forged, it was the best of the best Empyrean Grade artifacts.
Atiesh looked like a pitch-black staff with pulsing blue veins of pure crystalized mana, called Lyrium, which was extremely rare even in the Void, while a sharp blade was at the bottom of the staff. At the top of the staff was a pattern with the eye of the staff, which was made from the Stardust Crystal.
Stardust Crystal was the crystallization of the Stardust Energy, which belonged to the category of Higher-Dimensional Energies, which are available only for Tier 13 Powerhouses and higher. Stardust Crystal was a very rare thing and could be found only in a few danger zones in the Void or after the Universe was destroyed; sometimes, one could find a vein of Stardust Crystals in the vicinity.
