Ilter Federation, Capital City"Mr. President, we got reports from the frontline, that his lordship Star-Lord Yuan Gu and his fellow disciples were all killed by invaders and that who survived were captured by them. Their armies are marching on the Capital City as we are talking now." Stated one official to the President of the Ilter Federation in HQ of Federation.
"Then we can only rely on our secret weapon. Bring up the Plasma Golden Cannon and use it against invaders." Ordered President at he looked at his subordinates. Plasma Golden Cannon was peace of very advanced technology from the Aizhouma Universe, and it had the ability to kill even Star-Lord experts.
"Yes, sir." Said one of the officers as they went to prepare Plasma Golden Cannon. After several hours it was prepared, but unexpectedly it was destroyed by a man they have identified as the leader of invaders.
"So, the only thing that awaits us is death..." Muttered old President of the Ilter Federation as he looked at monitors that were showing an onslaught of the invaders and their continuous march on the commanding center.
As he was looking at all of that, he took out a small vial of some liquid and drank it all.
"At least I would not be eaten by those dammed corpses." The liquid was decomposing poison, for someone who was only around Type 8 Divine Warrior, it would destroy his entire body in minutes.
=============================================
"Have you finished interrogating those people I have captured?" Asked Lucien as he was looking at Magister Isaacs who was partic.i.p.ating in this operation too, as an interrogator of prisoners.
"Yes, Your Highness. They came from some Sect called Holy Martial Sect, apparently hegemon in entire Aizhouma Universe. They control almost half of the entire outskirts of the Aizhouma Universe and have huge territories in inner parts of the Aizhouma. From what we found, their Sect Ancestor is at Peak of Type 12 Divine Warrior, one of the strongest Galaxy Lords. Additionally, the sect has three Grand Elders at Early Grade Type 12 Divine Warrior, and tens Type 11 Divine Warriors." Stated Magister Isaacs.
"That is good then, the real problem would be if they had Type 13 Divine Warrior the Universe Lord which is comparable to Pinnacle-Phase Marquise-Rank. Our strength right now should be comparable to the Holy Martial Sect overall, and after several years, we would have already surpa.s.sed them, especially after a grandfather and Lord Dracul reach Pinnacle-Phase Marquise-Rank and Pinnacle-Phase of Yaunying Realm." Said Lucien as he thought about the situation.
The current strength of the Holy Martial Sect was probably the same as that of the Holy Niflheim Empire. So if fight among these two powers erupted, chances would be fifty-fifty. Of course, after several years, they would have long surpa.s.sed the strength of the Holy Martial Sect, after careful digestion of their gains. Many of their Soldiers were nearing Marquise-Rank, and all Holy Imperial Knights were already at Marquise-Rank. The only thing that Lucien was careful, and why he said their power was the same, even though Niflheim had more powerhouses was that Holy Martial Sect existed for several thousand years and its foundation was far deeper. Who knows if they had some artifacts, weapons, or forbidden techniques that would be able to raise their power or produce new experts in a short time.
"How is the conversion going on, Magister Isaacs?"
"Splendidly, Your Highness. After zombie horde devoured all life on the Planet Ilter, and they started devouring each other, we were left with around 20,000 Evolved Zombies that are currently undergoing Sacred Devourificnation Process. Fortunately, we have prepared both Sacred Blood Crystals carefully, so they would be able to handle such a huge number of subjects. After one week, the first ones would be finishing the process and be a.s.signed their roles. Most of them would be going to the Military, while some to other divisions of the Empire." Said Magister Isaacs proudly, and even Lucien was surprised at such a huge number of subjects, it appeared that Empire would finally start showing signs of solving their biggest issue, population.
"Very good Magister. After we return to Capital, I would propose father to promote your n.o.ble Rank from Magister to Lord."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Thought Isaacs didn"t care about politics, a higher rank in this meritocratic empire meant more resources for his research, and also higher privileges.
"Star building fortifications around the entire system, and send Magitek Soldiers to mine resources from asteroids and all planets in the system. We need to constantly expand our army. Also, relocate all mutated beasts from planets to the Breeding Planets in our Home Systems. Planet Ilter would serve as an outpost and also, as Fortress Planet for future conquest towards the rest of the Aizhouma Universe." Commanded Lucien.
"It will be done, Your Highness."
"Also, I am rather curious, why were people from Holy Martial Sect at barren outskirts of the Aizhouma, so close to the Death Zone?" Asked Lucien, from the moment he sensed them, he wondered why would they wonder to such a backward place.
"They came on the request of the Ilter Federation. Apparently Ilter Federation found something that caught the interest of one of the Grand Elders of the Holy Martial Sect, and because the Federation was under protection and va.s.sal of the Sect, they immediately reported it up."
"What it was?"
"An Egg, Your Highness."
"Egg?"
"Yes, Your Highness. Even though people of Ilter were very weak, they had rather good knowledge about various mutated beasts, s.p.a.ce beasts, and other creatures thanks to the Holy Martial Sect, but they have never saw something like this Egg, even higher-ups of the Holy Martial Sect were baffled after seeing images and videos of this Egg, and its resistance towards Energy Level. This Egg was able to devour shot from the Plasma Golden Cannon, which is the weapon that you have destroyed. So they send several disciples to bring it to the Sect for Grand Elder for them to study." After hearing this, Lucien"s interest was caught.
"Do you know origin of this Egg?"
"Yes, thanks to the knowledge you have provided from Akashic Records, and Myriad Compendium of Creatures of Endless Void, I was able to identify the Egg."
"And?"
"It is a Flerken, Your Highness."
