Chapter 1082: Growing Imperial Domain 3
Chapter 1082: Growing Imperial Domain 3
7th Heaven.
"...So it begins..." The Heavenly Father spoke as he felt several powerful forces moving.
"The Emperor of Humanity will be born, and he will not stop there. Soon, the entire Galaxy and those nearby will fall under his influence."
"I need to show my efforts, or I will fall behind... It's time to put my retirement aside." The image of an old man began to slowly fade as the man's body gained mass, his appearance rejuvenated into a middle-aged man, and his hair turned to pure light.
The Heavenly Father had returned to his prime.
"Earth will be under the Emperor's control by nightfall; I will prepare my army. Until then, the Angels must partake in the fight against the other civilizations."
The Heavenly Father was not the only one who felt the powerful forces of Victor moving, as the other Gods felt it as well. After all, Victor wasn't making any effort to hide it.
"What shall we do, Sucellus?"
Looking at his subordinate and friend, Sucellus remained silent for three seconds. When he opened his mouth to speak, everyone, including him, looked in the same direction as several powerful presences were felt by the Gods.
"... It seems the choice has already been made for us," Sucellus spoke with a sigh.
Walking towards the exit of his palace, Sucellus and the other Celtic Gods saw two gigantic ships in the sky.
Between the two ships, a portal opened, and a woman stepped out wearing full armor with a violet crown of Energy on her head.
Standing over 4 meters tall, with her long white hair reaching to her knees floating in the wind, violet Draconic Eyes, Draconic Horns, and a presence that commanded order, The Empress, Violet Elderblood, was here.
When the woman's eyes met Sucellus, the very existence of the God trembled. Even being a God-King, he was no match for her.
It was as if he was looking at a superior existence.
Violet, although an Empress, was not the strongest. However, that was only true when compared with her abnormal Family. Unlike Jeanne, who was born at the start of the Universe, or the likes of Scathach, who trained her entire life with an obsession bordering on insanity, Violet was young. But despite being young, she was still in the top 10 of Victor's most powerful Wives.
And considering there were Beings like Rose, who was a Grand Master, and Anna, with her ridiculous ability to bend Reality, she was powerful, especially when she exercised her Divinity that put everything in 'order!
"Dragon Empress!? Are you breaking the treaty!?" Although he knew what was happening, Sucellus still had to defend his people, at least to ensure no one would die.
"The treaty...? What is a piece of paper in the face of the Emperor's ambition?" Her voice resonated across the Celtic sky.
"Earth shall be conquered today, as he has decreed." She raised her hand, and more portals began to open in the Celtic skies as gigantic spaceships began to emerge, and soon, the entire visible sky was covered by the Emperor's forces.
Hangar doors opened below the ships, and the next moment, warriors, fully armed and armored, began to fall from the sky.
Each of these soldiers were a force to be reckoned with, the Elite of the Emperor.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"The question that must be asked is," A sweet smile appeared on Violet's face, and despite being beautiful, especially so with that smile, to the Gods present, that smile was the smile of a monster.
"Will you peacefully surrender to the Emperor's dominion, or will you be forced into submission?"
Sucellus looked at the giant soldiers approaching with weapons, the likes of which he had never seen before. He was clearly at a disadvantage, and even if he tried and used his trump cards, he would still have to face the entire Empire in an already lost battle. That was if he won, of course. He saw no chance of defeating that woman. With a defeated sigh, he was going to say he would surrender.
"I-."
"Forced into submission it is then." But Violet interrupted him, her sweet smile growing wider into a sadistic, monstrous grin.
"Wha-"
"Warriors."
"Conquer all and imprison those who resist. Remember, they are important resources of the Empire."
"Wait-"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" A simultaneous response roared through all the soldiers on the ground.
Violet pointed her hand forward and said, "Fire"
The ships' gigantic cannons began to charge, and soon after, the sky lit up blue.
"By the Primordial Chaos..." The Empress clearly did not want their surrender! BOOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOOOM!
Explosions echoed everywhere, causing countless deaths, but it was all right. Gods could revive if they were not killed in a 'special' way, and Victor could do that easily. With veins bulging on his head, seeing the destruction of his home, the God-King ordered: "Fight back! Use everything! Fight for our home!"
Violet's smile grew even wider when she saw her enemy's attitude.
'For there to be Order in the Empire, the pride of this trash must be completely broken. Such easy surrender is not possible. A humiliating and complete defeat is necessary. Only then will there be order. At first glance, The Empress seemed to be acting sadistically, but she had a plan behind her actions.
As the Goddess of Order, she understood very well how Beings worked, and she would ensure the best resources for her Husband; obedient resources, submissive resources, ones who would do everything for him.
Of course, that was not all.
[Oda, send the assassins to collect all the treasures.]
[Yes!]
She planned to completely weaken the Pantheon to a state where they would have to completely depend on The Empire.
Resentments? Feelings of hatred? Thoughts of rebellion from future members of her
group?
None of that mattered in the face of the overwhelming strength of The Emperor and
his Empire.
After all, this wasn't any ordinary Empire. Human Empires, ruled by Humans with limited lifespans, suffered with each succession, as each succession increased the fragility of the ruling family's power.
Victor, however, was eternal. He would still be here even after 10 billion years, and in the face of the ever-flowing river of time, sentiments such as resentment would fade, forgotten to the annals of history.
Time heals all. As someone with the gift of Foresight, she knew this very well.
'Wild animals need to be captured, their venomous fangs removed, and replaced with the fangs we will give them. That way, they will serve us enthusiastically... Even in
death.'
[You seem to be having fun here, Violet... Why didn't you call us, too?]
As soon as Violet heard those words, a crack of lightning was heard, and a blonde woman completely covered in armor appeared beside her.
Following her, a portal appeared, and a woman with long red hair appeared on the
other side.
Violet pouted mentally when she saw Ruby and Sasha. She wanted to have fun by herself! Despite thinking so, her facial expression didn't change. After all, she was in
her Empress mode.
[Stingy woman, you've always been like this, ever since you were a child.] Sasha
grumbled.
[You're right, Sasha. This is definitely our childhood friend, always wanting the good
things for herself.]
[Blah, Blah, stop the drama. Since you're here, help inflict as much terror on these
insects as possible.]
[...Fear, huh? I know how to do that very well.] Ruby smiled, and in the next moment, an Aura of Death swept throughout the battlefield, similar to the one Scathach used in the past while training Victor, only much lighter. After all, she hadn't killed as many Beings as her mother or Victor had.
This was just the predatory instinct of the True Dragon that all life forms feared made
manifest.
[Oh? I can do that, too.] Sasha's aura exploded in turn.
[I'll go too!] Violet exclaimed, her aura exploding outward along with the two of them.
The three incredibly tall women looked down at the Gods with their eyes shining. Some had even wet themselves due to the primal fear of being faced with three Beings belonging to a Species considered the most powerful in existence.
A chance of victory for these Gods? They never had a chance from the beginning.
***
In Victor's Personal Dimension, in a very secret place that only few could access. A woman with white hair, completely pale skin, and violet eyes was standing, while behind her, a large heart pulsated with power. This was the heart of the future Empire. In this secret Dimensional Space that was being protected by Victor, several screens floated around, showing various POVS in this war.
If an enemy wanted to enter here, they needed to access the depths of Victor's Soul and be able to get past his Eldritch Form which protected Akasha. Such protection was necessary, considering that Akasha was the nexus that connected everyone in The Empire, from the lowest soldier to the Emperor. She was the web that kept everything connected. Due to her vital function, she was too important to be compromised, so too much protection was never enough.
The same applied to The Dragon's Heart, which powered the entire Empire after Akasha at this moment.
"Mother Violet seems to be enjoying herself." Akasha Elderblood commented as she watched what was happening in the Celtic Pantheon.
"Let's put the next plan into action." She shifted that screen from in front of her and pulled up a screen that displayed several women. These were the Operators who were connected to all the forces of the Empire. In a way, they were her direct subordinates.
[Initiate plan Delta]
...
Laura Bloodhunter POV. [Initiate plan Delta.]
When she heard the words of the Emperor's Daughter, Laura, the Commander of
these Operators, immediately got to work. As the one these 'clones' were based on, Laura had a close connection with them, not to mention that despite the initial state of these women being 'clones', they were slowly developing differently from her, Rather than Clones, it was more accurate to say that they were her 'sisters'.
"Pass the orders to the Commanders. The forces are to join Commander Velnorah on
Jupiter." "Yes!"
The Empire was 'fighting' on 7 fronts... Well, fighting was an exaggeration. The more correct term would be Conquering.
Their forces were divided for maximum efficiency. The personal force of the Empress
and the Emperor were dealing with the Pagan Gods, and Earth was being conquered by the Supreme Priestess.
The other four battlefields spread throughout the Galaxy, establishing automatic outposts and conquering any possible planets that possessed a World Tree. Looking at the gigantic map in the middle of the operations room that recorded the
hostile forces, allied forces, or any possible Being with enough Power, Laura realized that the fleet commanded by John was approaching the hostile space of an intelligent civilization that was discovered by the Emperor in the past.
"Commander John, you must not initiate the conflict with the technological
civilization yet. Await the Emperor's orders."
"Roger."
Turning her attention away from John, she looked at her other companions,
specifically her sister, Clare, who was accompanied by her other sisters and brothers who were born at the same time as her.
"Commander Clare, Operation Delta has begun. What is the ETA for complete subjugation of that planet?"
The image of a yellow planet appeared in front of all the operators. This planet was
dominated by a Race that reproduced at high speed. If it was not dealt with now, it could become a plague on the Galaxy.
"3 Earth days. The scanners show that the mind of this Hive is somewhere near the core of the planet. To effectively secure this planet, we must eliminate it and eliminate all the others to ensure that the mind of the Hive does not transfer to other Beings."
Understanding the connotations Clare was suggesting, Laura spoke: "The priority of the mission is to secure the World Tree. Therefore, the planet cannot be destroyed too much. Orbital cannons are out of the question."
"Should we wait for one of our Gods to intervene?" Caelus made a suggestion, "His Imperial Majesty has personally ordered you to go to this system to conquer the
planet," Laura spoke.
The message was clear: waiting and refusing were not options. This was clearly a test to put their 'extermination' skills into action. They had to resolve this. After all, if one
of the Gods of The Empire were there, it would be effortless to take the planet for
themselves.
