Blackstone Fortress, Command Center, the direction of the Serpent Plane, Ancient Eternal Star Region.
Around the Blackstone Fortress, hundreds of the Voidships were flying in the emptiness of the space while I was sitting comfortably on my throne at the commanding center of the Blackstone Fortress with Hela at my side because we were nearing the outpost of the Taesci Race.
Hela was itching to unleash her Astral Necrotic Army onto something because she didn't have such an opportunity, and right now, the one appeared out of nowhere.
I have previously forbidden her to use her Astral Necrotic Army, mainly because anywhere she unleashed them would be turned into a wasteland of death and decay, with nothing remaining.
Even the minerals and ores would be corroded by the overwhelming power of her Godhood, as the decay turned everything into a pile of rust and dust.
The military outpost of the Taesci Race that we are attacking was the last barrier which was the separation of the expeditionary army from the Serpent Plane, which was the home plane of the Taesci Race.
Surprisingly the military outpost was not built located on the plane, but rather it was built around the huge asteroid, which was floating around the entire area, thus creating something like a natural patrolling fortress.
"I am going, darling."
Hela said happily, after which she gave me a kiss on my cheek before teleporting outside of the Blackstone Fortress and heading towards the Military Outpost on the asteroid, like a shooting comet, in anticipation of blood and fire.
"Target their Anti-Spaceship Planetary Defenses and take them out."
I ordered, instantly seconds later, hundreds of the Battleships fired at the same time one slave of rounds, which passed near Hela.
All of them hit the Anti-Spaceship Planetary Defenses, which were strategically placed through the entire asteroid and the military outpost the Taescis had up there.
Moments later, tens of explosions could be seen from the military outpost of the Taesci Race on that floating asteroid in the vastness of space as I smiled at this.
Meanwhile, I could clearly see the panic that spread on the outpost because the members of the Taesci Race were running here and there, in absolute panic, that they were under attack.

Hela POV
'Weaklings... pathetic.'
I formed when I saw the initial reactions of those dammed snakes when they were attacked. For the species that proclaimed itself as one of the hegemons of the Ancient Eternal Star Region, where war and strife were on the daily schedule, they were pathetic beyond belief.
Instead of reacting to the incoming attack, they were just running here and there like a bunch of headless chickens.
While the pleasure from slaughtering such disgraces is lower than meeting and fighting with a strong foe, it was still better than nothing at all.
I conjured my Necroswords and activated my Godhood. At the same time, millions upon millions of Astral Necrotic Undeads appeared behind me, in their ghastly appearance shining with the menacing green light.
"Attack!"
With my command, all of the Astral Necrotic Undead rushed at the enemies who were on the asteroid, only now realizing that the enemy was already in front of their gates; thus their experts were already activating the defensive measures.
Unfortunately, in fights of this caliber, every second was a precious commodity, and their inability to react swiftly in time cost them their defenses when I teleported on the person who was in charge of activating the defense spell formation.
With one swift slash of my Necrosword, one snakeling head rolled on the ground, as one of their peak Tier 10 powerhouses was killed before he could even react.
The moment the person controlling the defensive spell formation was killed, the entire barrier, which was in the process of forming, started crumbling apart once more.
At the same time, my Astral Necrotic Undead rushed in, as they had already landed on the asteroid, and started breaching the defensive positions of the Taesci Race, who, in turn, desperately tried to defend against the hordes of the Astral Necrotic Undead.
Though that was futile, for every destroyed Astral Necrotic Undead, several more would take its place, not to mention I released only a few million of them while I had billions of them in reserves.
Thought I had to admit that they were doing pretty well in resisting the Astral Necrotic Undeads.
In some places, they even managed to stop my army's advance, which is already something to behold.
However, it was indeed the truth that I didn't really realize my most powerful UAstral Necrotic Undeads, and even from the Tier 10s, I released only a few of them.
Just as I was about to move onto my next target, my instincts kicked in, and instantly dodging to the right side and turning around; I saw one specimen of the Taesci Race, who seemed to be at Tier 11, wearing some sort of runic armor, as he threw a javelin at me.
"Interesting... so you have been hiding..."
I muttered quietly as I readied my two Necroswords and charged at the Taesci man, who attacked me. Even though I clearly sensed that the man was Tier 11, in terms of brute power and combat prowess, he was severely lacking compared to me.
Surprisingly, he was able to dodge the first wave of my attacks relatively easily, which signified his skills as a warrior, so I had to increase the force and power I was putting into the duel, but not to such an extent where I would be using the power of my Godhood to the maximum.
My opponent then started suddenly radiating some kind of energy, which exponentially increased his very own aura, as I sensed that his raw power had undergone some kind of nirvana.
So either he was using some method to temporarily increase his power by burning his Lifeforce, or he had something in his sleeve.
"Let's dance."
I said, as instantly pitch black flames of pure death and decay burst out behind me, enveloping two of us in a duel to the death.
