Baldaquin Castle, some distance from the Canghzi Plane.
I stood at the command deck of the Baldaquin Castle as I watched the countless stars and planes in the starry sky.
"Who else is coming?"
I asked Hela, as she was currently coordinating the attack on the Canghzi Plane as the final part of the war was beginning. When the Canghhzi Plane fell, then the only thing that would remain would be hunting for surviving Warlocks and annihilating their legacies and people, but that was the task for the Commissariat and Executioner Temple, not the regular army.
"Elder Asura has decided to leave the Baator and make an appearance; it would be a great shock for the Warlocks that we have brought to their doors 4 Tier 11 powerhouses."
That would leave Architect as the only Tier 11 entity guarding the Baator.
"Don't worry, Elder Zekram is reaching his break through to the Tier 11. Also, Architect is most efficient at the Baator, as he could utilize all defenses to maximum."
Said Hela to soothe my worries as I agreed with her on that part.
"Asura coming here would create a huge mess, while he seems calm and indifferent on the outside when he enters the fight..."
I said with a bloodthirsty grin as I remembered the time when I fought with Asura.
Asura had basically two personalities. One of them was the I called non-fight, which was usually the calm and indifferent person who never let his emotions out.
But when he fought, he turned into a bloodthirsty maniac, enjoying carnage and slaughter as he killed everything in his sight.
Soon enough, all of the Military forces were slowly arriving and surrounding the Canghzi Plane as Six Imperial Courts were prepared for the war of attritions. While I grimaced at the thought of that, there was nothing we could do about that, as even the Crystal Wall was formed around the Canghzi Plane.
They really went all out in their efforts to slow our advance as much as possible.
"Also, Elder Asura departed from the Empire together with the 9th Army Yesod Keepers."
Among the 10 Armies of the Imperialis Miliotarum, if one would stand out and be considered a unique one, it would be the 9th Army Yesod Keepers.
9th Army Yesod Keepers originated from another universe, which was destroyed by some calamity, and resulted in a great schism among the survivors. All survivors started leaving their dying Universe to search for new homes until no one remained.
The single exception were the remnants of the Celestials, once a great race of snake-like people with a great attitude toward battle, martial honor, and progress. Soon enough, the Celestial, together with their Universe, perished when the Universe collapsed and destroyed itself.
But that was not the end, as the Celestial Race, who remained in the Universe and were destroyed together with their Universe, got their hands on the Yesod Fragments, which infused their bodies and transformed them into an entirely new species of pseudo-immortals.
They became Demons who could not be killed until their Pillar was destroyed. Even if you kill one, they could revive indefinitely until someone destroyed their Pillar, which maintained their pseudo-immortality through the Yesod, or exterminated their souls from very existence; they were undefeatable as they would always return back.
For untold Eras, Demons of the Yesod, roamed from world to world, where they massacred the local population to increase their own powers, until one day, they found a dimensional pathway in some sealed world in the Void that led them to the Baator.
Then I met their leader, Feng Xiu, who even then was very strong, probably peak Tier 8. Even when he had no chance against me, he still changed me to the fight, which he obviously lost, but his courage and power impressed me, so I offered them a permanent home and safe haven in exchange for their services.
"This invasion would be a huge mess."
I muttered under my breath as I just lay on the sofa and closed my eyes, trying to sleep a little while waiting for all forces to arrive.
Aside from the current forces which I had with me and the 9th Army that was on their way, around half of the Custodians would be arriving with Sirzechs, several teams of Executioners led by Lord Executioners and even 5 Lord Arch-Magoses from the Mechanicum were on their way, with their Mechanical and Golem Legions.
Also, Burning Legion and Farstriders also arrived, meaning all entire nonstandard forces of the Imperialis Militarum would be present for the grand conquest of the Canghzi Plane.
After one hour, my Holo-Brain lit up as someone was calling me.
"We have arrived at our position, Ancestor."
Said a man with long flowing black purplish hair with blood-red eyes clad with pale skin, wearing crimson black combat robes.
"Wait for the other to arrive and blockade the entire Canghzi Plane; when I give my signal, we will start."
Feng Xiu then bowed and cut the connection as another call was incoming; this time, it was Magister Ajuka Beelzebub.
"I am just reporting that the Dawn Pillars are readjusted and prepared for the deployment. Also, the preparations to destroy the Crystal Wal are done, and the devices that Abraxas put there are functioning as they should."
He stated shortly before ending the call.
Ajuka was never one who said more than required, and after reporting his piece, he basically ended the call and went to do his own things.
After waiting for another three hours, the entire Canghzi Plane was surrounded, and all-dimensional pathways were noted down, and we sent Fleets with experts there so that they could enter through them to the Canghzi Plane.
