Swarm Scheme: Phase 1 Done

This was Weissmann's Path of the Silver King, something with the Gravity or in that way, but it was extremely efficient as all of the Void Insects that were here were killed in a split of a second, including the majority of the Tier 11 Bug Kings and other bugs of that level.

Only a few of them remained alive, which I swiftly restricted, as I wanted to conduct some research on them; they would for sure prove to be excellent research material.

I also collected some of the Bioships that managed to survive the reckless attacks of the Divine Avatars of the Myriad God Emperors.

"Hmm... this is a good loot."

I muttered while Weissmann was disposing of the rest Bugs that somehow managed to avoid getting killed in the first wave, as he then fixed his attention on the Ijun, who was still acting like a rat in his Divine Kingdom.

Previously Weissmann wouldn't dare so lightly enter the entire Divine Star Region because apparently, together, the Myriad God Emperors could activate some sort of special formation that was able to repel even Tier 12 Powerhouses.

Naturally, Weissmann was aware of this fact, so when the Swarm was first detected in the Astral Boundary Universe, I let them attack at the spots where one of the pillars of the formation, so the Myriad God Emperors couldn't activate it.

After Weissmann found Myriad God Emperor of the Underworld, Ijun, he directly killed him, and because Ijun was tired as hell and had already sustained plenty of injuries, it wasn't that hard to kill him. After everything was done, Weissmann returned to my place.

"And now what?"

He asked me as I coordinated our efforts in defeating the Void Insect Swarm.

"Nothing, we wait. Due to our interference, the bugs suffered enormous causalities in the Divine Star Region, so sooner or later, the Hivemind would be forced to come here, not to mention that the loss of their entire Fleet and more than 15 Tier 11 Void Insects is a tremendous loss for the Swarm."

I noted, as now we would need to wait.

The most probable outcome of this would be the retreat of the Hivemind from the Ancient Eternal Star Region and bringing the rest of the Swarm to the Divine Star Region to personally take care of the newly created problematic situation.

Certainly, it would be very careful when entering the Divine Star Region, as the loss of the entire Fleet and a whole bunch of Tier 11 bugs would create huge awareness of danger, so we would need to lay low for some time.

But in the end, when the Hivemind enters the Divine Star Region and exterminates the Myriad God Emperors who are right now hiding in their planes and Divine Kingdoms, it would be the best opportunity for us to strike and kill the Hivemind, ending thus the threat of the Void Insect Swarm in the Astral Boundary Universe.

"How long before it will arrive here?"

Weissmann questioned when we entered the Voidships and sailed back to the Baator.

"Several months probably, maybe one, if it is in a hurry. If everything goes according to the plan, then the most troublesome work of getting cleared the Myriad God Emperors out will be done by them, and with ambush, we can kill it."

I gave a short answer to his question.

While it wasn't a problem for the Tier 12 to dispose of the Myriad God Emperors, at least in terms of power, as they were many times weaker, the real problem lay, in fact, that it was troublesome and annoying as fuck.

Even now, the job was easy as nothing, only due to the Swarm basically paving the way for the Weissmann, who only strolled into the plane as if nothing happened, found Ijun, and killed him easily.

Normally it was not that easy because fighting against the entire Primary Grade 2 Plane and Myriad God Emperor in his Divine Kingdom will annoy even Tier 12 entities and will take some time.

"With this, Phase 1 of the Plan is complete."

I said as I closed my eyes, wanting to give myself a bit of sleep.

***

Meanwhile, at the same time, in the Ancient Eternal Star Region, the territory of the Taesci Species.

Taesci Species was a race of snakemen with great aptitude for Magic, as they produced countless Tier 10 and even several Tier 11 Magic Users, including one Tier 12 Magician. They followed Magic System that didn't belong to the Astral Boundary but rather was native to another Universe.

The Taesci Species control hundreds of planes, ranging from the smallest and unassuming Grade 9 Plane, which numbered in thousands, to even seven Primary Grade 2 Planes and one Grade 1 Plane, which they kept hidden from the rest of the Universe.

But right now, this mighty species was in flames of wars, as their planes and their people were mercilessly devoured by the Void Insect Swarm, their territory has shrunk to around 20% of what it was before, and countless of their powerhouses were killed.

Even their Tier 12 Ancestor was grievously injured by the Tier 12 Hivemind.

The Hivemind of the Void Insect Swarm was inhabiting a body that it was created specifically for itself, based on the best genetic materials it collected across the Void.

So contrary to the rest of the Void Insects, the Hivemind had a relatively humanoid shape, though some of the bug-like features were unmistakable.

Suddenly, as it was about to give orders to march deeper on the Taesci Territory, the message about the demise of the Fleet and troops in the Divine Star Region reached the ears of the Hivemind.

The Divine Star Region and its conquest were crucial for the Hivemind, mainly due to the Divine Sparks and Gods living there; they were one of the best materials to create a new and stronger type of bugs, and almost instantly.

Contemplating about what to do, in the end, the Hivemind decided to conquer a few planes of the Taesci Species, but not advance into their core territories, but instead return to the Divine Star Region before other Tier 12 experts of the Ancient Eternal Star Region arrive.

The Hivemind was almost reaching Tier 13, so it was not taking any risks at the moment.
