3rd POV
Some time later, within the Halls of the Baldaquin leading to the Throne Room of the Baldaquin.
Two people were being led by the Arcane Mechanical Automatons of this place that were acting as the permanent guardians of the Baldaquin, together with several members of the Adeptus Custodes.
One of them was a young-looking man with blonde hair and golden eyes, wearing a black and red uniform with several sigils, including that of the Chthonian Empire and his own House.
Raziel Phenex, one of the youngest entitled Rogue Trader Militant of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator, was sent to the mission within the Primal Chaos Dimension Universe and was tasked with the transportation of the Xenomorphs into this place.
Another one was a bipedal humanoid, physically distinguishable from Devils by their greater height, the long, hair-like appendages on their heads (nicknamed dreadlocks), their reptilian skin and their faces, which feature arthropod-like mandibles and no visible nose.
Contrary to the Raziel Phenex, the Yautja King Bha'stbeth wore typical armor of the Yautja Species, ready to combat and ready for the Hunt as dictated their way of life. There was no Yautja that wasn't ready to combat at any moment.
Different from the Yautja King Bha'stbeth expression that was unreadable, also thanks to the mask he was wearing, but even behind the mask, he was as stoic as ever. Raziel Phenex was certainly pretty much nervous from the very second he was called for the meeting with the Father of All Devils.
No matter the person who sat on the Eternal Throne of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator, the one true ruler and sovereign that ruled the entirety of not only the Higher Dimension World of Baaot but also the Kadath Universe was the Father of All Devils...
Not to mention, he was also informed that during the meeting, there would be all of his wives present, all of whom were either Tier 12 beings or, at the peak of Tier 11, only one step away from reaching the highest realm.
Raziel Phenex was also a descendant of the Father of All Devils, like many of the most promising members of the younger generation were, because the descendants of the Father of All Devils intermarried with the other prominent Noble Hosues of the Chthonian Empire.
"Presenting the Yautja King Bha'stbeth."
The announcer said as the Yautja King Bha'stbeth entered the Throne Room because they were entering in terms of seniority and strength and the power of the Yautja King Bha'stbeth was much higher than that of the Raziel.
"Presenting the Rogue Trader Militant Raziel Phenex of the Chthonian High Lord House Phenex."
Several seconds the announcer announced his turn as the Rogue Trader Militant Raziel Phenex entered the Throne Room and the first thing he saw was the imposing figure of the Father of All Devils Zeoticus Lucifer, sitting on the simple-looking metal throne.
One may even mistake him for a common person because he didn't have any presence at all, but neither did have some of his other wives, like the Black Empress of Death Hela Odinsdottier or Dragon Goddess Gu Yuena, who were sitting not far from him.
"I will not be asking for useless things, so on the topic... how is the Xenomorph infestation going on?"
Zeoticus Lucifer asked straight away as he looked at the two people standing before the throne.
"If I may, Your Majesty... the progress is almost done aside from the area that the natives were calling the Abyss of Nothingness."
When the Raziel Phenex answered that question, the Father of All Devils raised his brow at that because that was the place which he saw when he scanned the entire Primal Chaos Dimension Universe.
"The God Realm of Absolute Beginning is at the center of the four divine regions and it is also the core of the Primal Chaos Dimension. It was also rumored that it was the secret realm in which the Ancestral God herself had resided during the beginning of the Primal Chaos Dimension. In the deepest part of the God Realm of Absolute Beginning was a place that many records speculated was the center of the God Realm of Absolute Beginning, the Abyss of Nothingness."
He then made a short pause as Father of All Devils and all of his wives were listening attentively, especially the Black Empress of Death Hela, who was very curious about the entire Abyss of Nothingness.
"The entire Abyss of Nothingness was surrounded by a large fog called Fog Sea that occupied the majority of the place and is basically protecting it from the Xenomorphs... within the depths of the Abyss of Nothingness is the Land of Life where are the last living creatures, if we are not counting the Abyss of Nothingness Creatures of course."
In the end, the answer to the problem was relatively simple and most of it could be attributed to the luck of the natives of the Primal Chaos Dimension Universe.
They were just lucky that they had something like the Abyss of Nothingness that was able to protect them from the Xenomorphs. The Fog that surrounded the Abyss of Nothingness acted like some sort of natural deterrent to the Xenomorphs...
Without further examination, it was almost impossible to know more, but it was highly possible that the Fog contained something that was either dangerous to the Xenomorphs or something in that way.
"Do we have any concrete information about the Abyss of Nothingness and what is inside? About the number of the powerhouses and so on?"
The moment that question was asked out of load, Father of All Devils could see the nervousness of the Raziel Phenex and even the Yautja King Bha'stbeth shifted a bit, as neither one of them had an answer for that.
Not having an answer for the Father of All Devils could be pretty much offensive and to offend someone like him was a very dangerous thing to do. But such was the situation and now both of them could only hope that the Father of All Devil doesn't perceive it as incompetence.
And as it was very well known among the citizens of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator, it was much known that the incompetence of any sort was not tolerated at all...
