Done is Done

Right now, I was standing at the limit of the Apocalypse-Class. For me, the only way to get stronger was to comprehend more Laws and increase my control over them and then subsequently ascend to the Dimensional-Class.

In Dimensional-Class, one would be searching for his own path, and when one realized his own path, the task was to fuse the Laws comprehended and create the path itself. Of course, this process of fusion was extraordinarily arduous and took centuries upon centuries.

I hoped that I would reach the Lord-Class within the next 2,000 to 2,500 years. That would be the optimal thing for me. Fortunately, thanks to my Law of Devour, I could quickly reach the pinnacle of the Dimensional-Class in Energy terms and physique after devouring some strong enemies or precious treasures and consuming a ton of resources.

In truth, I could advance to the Dimensional-Class even right now if I wanted, but that would be detrimental to my future advancements. Right now, Baator was still recovering and was only a Grade 3 Plane, which would mean it wouldn't be able to hold me unless I sealed my power.

With its natural recovery abilities, I could predict that Baator would evolve into a Secondary Grade 2 Plane within the next 100,000 years, which was a brief time considering we are talking about planar evolution. Still, alas, I didn't have that much time.

Thus, I planned to use the moment when the Dimensional Gap is torn down to further push the evolution of the Baator.

By my estimates, the energy released by tearing down the Dimensional Gap would cause practically every planet located within the Dimensional Gap to explode to smithereens, which in turn, I planned to use for my benefit.

When the Dimensional Gap is torn down, it will release an enormous wave of energy. If it came in contact with the planar core, it would overrun the planar core, causing it to explode.

This is true for every plane under Grade 2.

I have ordered the newly founded Magisterium of Outer Plane Development which I entrusted to Sigmar, as he was suitable for that role, and he could hone the administrative skills he learned in the Army to go through every plane across the Dimensional Gap or at least those which weren't destroyed by Evie and Etouldes, and after mining all of their resources, to plant there specific Arcanotech Device along with Magical Formation.

With these additions, when the planar core would be overruled with massive energy levels, Arcanotech Device would active the Magic Formation, drain the entire plane dry, and transfer all of that power to Baator to further the Planar Evolution.

By Architect's calculation, what we have prepared should be barely enough to evolve it to a Secondary Grade 2 Plane, which would easily hold Dimensional-Class existences and similar, though Energy Density would be comparable to even Grade 1 Planes.

Even now, when it was still Grade 3 Plane, Magicule Particle Density was comparable to some Grade 2 Planes, while Draconic Deus, which housed Earth and other galaxies, had Energy Density not even at the level of some Grade 7 Planes.

Right now, I have significantly benefited from this entire ordeal; not only I have increased my strength several times over, but I have also gained knowledge of all factions across the Three Realms that Okhwang germinated over tens of thousands of years.

While many of that would be unusable, it would still serve as a source of inspiration and could be adjusted to the needs of the Chthonian Empire.

"Have you finished your breakthrough?"

I questioned Okhwang as he nodded in agreement.

"While I wasn't able to break through one more realm, I have still had power comparable to pinnacle Holy Spirit Warlock."

Said Okhwang with a grin.

When Warlocks reached Holy Spirit Warlock rank, the gap in the same rank compared to Arcanists was cut down significantly. Many Great Holies had higher combat prowess than Magister Arcanists due to the fact that upon reaching Holy Spirit Warlock realm, Warlocks condensed something akin to a pseudo immortal body, which made them extremely hard to kill.

Many used this to their advance to execute forbidden methods with high destructive powers, rivaling Magister Arcanists, who had comprehended multiple Laws. Of course, in front of Being of Laws with highly destructive Laws like Law of Destruction, they could just obliterate them from existence.

Repeatedly using these forbidden methods usually results in severe backslashes and sometimes even such that their "immortal" bodies could handle it.

"I will need a few more months to install World Engine to the Planar Core of Baator that I got from Khaziklu Bey. After that, when I gather last allies and those who will depart with the Empire, I will send you a message, and you can tear down the Dimensional Gap."

World Engine was something that Weismann crafted for me, and it was a particular type of tech that allowed someone to move an entire plane to anywhere in the Universe.

Really marvelous thing.

Unfortunately, it was a one-time use.

But that was enough to relocate the Baator.

While the Dimensional Gap was located in a good location, unfortunately, the moment it was torn down, it would attract the attention of Warlock Emperor level Powerhouses and other equivalents, which was a death warrant for current me and my Empire.

Fortunately, Mercurius found a suitable part of the Astral Boundary, which was without the presence of any heaven-defying powerhouse or faction, where we could safely develop. Just basically a desolate wasteland with a lot of primitive civilizations and space for us to conquer.
