Divine Star Region of the Astral Boundary, Unknown Time.
After the Hivemind of the Void Insect Swarm returned back to the Divine Star Region, the Myriad God Emperors were soon enough overwhelmed by a huge sense of despair and dread.
Not only did they lose one of the strongest Myriad God Emperors when the Myriad God Emperor of Underworld was killed, but now this.
When the Hivemind arrived back at the Divine Star Region, the hordes of Void Insects arrived with it too, and they started another wave of the ferocious offensive toward the remaining planes under the control of the local Gods.
Three Myriad God Emperors remained namely Myriad God Emperor of Light Fedarr, Myriad God Emperor of Dusk Thonion, and Myriad God Empress of Destiny Easis.
After they lost their Divine Avatars some time ago, the backslash they suffered was so severe that they were gravely injured, and their power got reduced exponentially.
The Hivemind was already searching for the culprit who schemed against the mighty swarm because, with its frightening intelligence and the information it obtained about the Astral Boundary Universe; it was able to deduce the person who was scheming against it.
The Hivemind of this concrete swarm was already a limit of Tier 12, just one step of the next evolution and becoming a Tier 13 Hivemind, something that would greatly enhance its power among other Hiveminds of the whole Void Insect Species, which were spread across the entire Endless Void.
Somewhere above the plane of the Myriad God Emperor of Light Fedarr, an enormous fleet of Bioships of the Void Insect Swarm appeared as it continued in its path towards the plane.
On the biggest of the Bioships, which could easily rival the ships of the Chthonian Empire, a lone figure was standing in one enormous empty dark room.
There was a sole figure of a humanoid; it appeared to be an appearance of man, a weird combination of appearances of human and void insect, together with certain features from other races, such as leathery wings like that of a dragon and horns of a Golden-Horned Fiend.
This was the Hivemind of this Void Insect Swarm.
When the Hivemind returned to the Divine Star Region, it immediately started the attack on the planes of the Gods, and especially on those that the Myriad God Emperor themselves directly controlled, to dispose of them as soon as possible.
Not to mention, their corpses and Divine Sparks are precious materials for the Hivemind and the whole Swarm, as they could reproduce several Tier 11 Bugs from them, which were right now needed very much, considering their loss at the battle in the Divine Star Region.
The Hivemind was looking from the bioship directly at the plane under the control of the Myriad God Emperor of Light Fedarr before it telepathically ordered the entire swarm to begin their assault.
After the Void Insects deal with a few gods and their Divine Kingdoms and Divine Legions, they develop effortless means how to deal with them.
The greatest weakness of their Divine Legions was that they were beings of energy, of extremely concentrated Divine Power, so the Hivemind developed and evolved a new kind of bug that was created for a sole purpose.
To feed on the Divine Power.
And thus, it released the Divine Eater Bugs, who swarmed the incoming Divine Legions like a swarm of locusts on wheat and started eating the Divine Legions.
Not only for the Divine Legions, these were the dark days, but from the billions of Divine Eater Bugs which were released into space and were literally feasting on the Divine Legiuosn of the Gods, some of them found their way even to the Divine Kingdoms.
The moment they arrived t the Divine Kingdoms of the Gods, who were also participating in the fight, right now with their true bodies, they started eating the kingdom apart. The Divine Kingdom of God was just a huge place of Divine Power given shape.
Not even a second later, the Hivemind itself decided to descend into the fright as it exited the bioship and started blasting apart the Divine Legions and gods one after another, killing its way towards the Myriad God Emperor of Light Fedarr, who was commanding the defense forces.
The Hivemind didn't waste its time, appearing near the Fedarr's actual body, gripping him by his throat and lifting him up; several tentacles sprouted from the Hivemind's body and pierced the entire body of the Myriad God Emperor of Light Fedarr through and through, especially the brain.
Instantly, the once glorious and strong body of mighty Tier 11 being started turning into a withered mummy in a matter of seconds. At the same time, the Hivemind devoured every genetic material it could and absorbed everything from the Fedarr.
"So Baatorians... as predicted."
The Hivemind stated as if saying the obvious. After devouring everything from the Fedarr, it also got his memories.
He knew exactly who orchestrated the entire thing because the Myriad God Emperors long ago realized who was the puppeteer behind the shadows.
Right now, even the Hivemind realized that it was played around by the Father of All Devils, who lured the Hivemind into attacking the Ancient Eternal Star Region.
It seemed that the machinations of that devil ran deep, way deeper than the Hivemind anticipated.
"Such troublesome enemy..."
While the Hivemind was extremely intelligent, it underestimated the natives of the Universe, a relatively common occurrence for many powerhouses or factions that were invading weaker or more primitive Universes.
Soon enough, the entire plane was overrun by the Void Insects, as they ate everything that could be or could not be eaten by the Void Insects.
Everything would be turned into biomass to create more and more Void Insects.
"And soon, the rest of the Universe will become my biomass."
The Hivemind stated as it looked all around the vastness of the space.
Not aware that its moves were all closely monitored by the Baatorians and that everything happening was within the prediction of the Father of All Devils.
