The Void Entity vanished as swiftly as it had appeared, leaving behind a barren, hollow void that seed to mourn the absence of its devastating presence. The spatial fabric began repairing itself with a ferocious intensity, the cracks in reality sealing with bursts of radiant energy.
In the hidden folds of space, powerful beings who had been observing the chaos exchanged uneasy, puzzled glances. Their whispers were mix of indignation and dread, that echoed in the void.
"I can't believe he finally appeared... Just like the ancient myths of Myraldor and the Pantheon's creation. A being born to grow by consuming all others. How absurd."
"Yes, and it seems he didn't even acknowledge our existence."
"Or could it be scare to act for so reason?"
Another voice joined, sharp with irritation:
"Alas, we couldn't detect his presence in ti. Had we acted earlier, Artes might have been saved."
A cold, mocking tone replied, "Saved? Artes was a fool to co here alone, driven by greed and pride. He didn't notify us because he thought he could claim the glory for himself."
The whispers grew heavier, a chorus of tension and unease:
"Regardless of his mistakes, we cannot ignore this. If that entity turns its sights on us next..."
"We need a plan," another voice declared, its tone resolute but tinged with fear. "If it truly embodies the myths, then our very existence is at risk."
"We should inform Her Supremacy about this. Surely she won't ignore Artes' death. Her wrath will undoubtedly claim this one, just as it did the God of Darkness in the past."

"Ahh..."
Bella and the others appeared in an empty hall, panic evident on their faces.
"Where are we?" Bella asked her grandmother.
Claudia glanced through the window and spotted magical craftsn hard at work in a familiar setting.
She smiled. "We're in the New Imperial City. Surely my grandson-in-law is behind this."
"Phew..."
Bella and Aria imdiately sighed in relief and seated themselves gracefully in the nearly completed Imperial Court.
Stay tuned for updates on empire
Belial, Vira, Quin, and others sat patiently, waiting for a certain soone's arrival. Their minds were filled with awe at what they had witnessed. They had seen a god et their demise at the hands of their Emperor.
How powerful was that?
"Plop!"
After so ti, Aengus appeared in his usual black clothes, now draped in robes. The faint radiant gleam on his fair skin, imbued with divine authority, was hard to miss.
The very air in the hall instantly humd chaotically as soon as Aengus appeared, as if fearing his presence as a harbinger of absolute destruction. Yet, it still had to fulfill its duty in accordance with the laws.
"Hubby!"
"Darling!"
Both Bella and Aria quickly rushed forward, snuggling into his broad chest as if taking their daily dose of comfort.
Aengus inhaled their scents and caressed their heads lovingly, while his mind echoed with the murmurs of the lower gods. He heard them clearly. But he was not afraid. If the information in Artes' mind was correct, the Goddess of Light and the God of Darkness—two primal divine figures—were almost at the sa level as him, despite the vast ages separating their existence.
He could afford to pick a fight with one of them. But if he had to protect his wives and loved ones, he couldn't take on both of them at once. He had to conquer by playing both sides strategically.
Or if things go really south he still had victory cards to play with.
However, ti was running out. He needed to begin the task of unification imdiately.
Aengus sat on the grand throne alongside Bella and Aria, his expression as calm as still water.
"Grandson-in-law, you must have attained a level of strength we could never achieve in our lifeti. What's your next plan?" Claudia asked in her childish voice.
Aengus gestured for everyone to remain seated and spoke, "Yes. We must begin the plan of unification at once. We will start by conquering kingdoms after kingdoms, domains after domains. And I will be with you to ensure your safety."
"Your Majesty, leave it to us. We're all itching for battle," Quin said with a grin.
"Do you an on both sides?" Bella asked to confirm.
Aengus gave a small nod.
"Okay then. You should send back, Son-In-Law. I would like to teach those Demon Lords so lesson. The strength you have given , is now the right ti to put to the use," Belial said, smirking.
"That's of course, Father-in-law. But before that, let introduce you all to soone," Aengus said mysteriously, slicing through the space before him with a casual swipe of his hand.
A demonic figure was reaveled to them.
"What! Isn't that Beelzebub? I thought he was dead!"
Exclamations erupted as they saw Beelzebub appear before them, completely immobilized, his eyes filled with terror. He finally realized who the true Heir of Ruination was. This seemingly unassuming man had been the Heir of Ruination all along. Their suspicions had been correct. If only they had acted on them, perhaps this day could have been avoided.
"Disgusting," Aria muttered with disdain, looking at Beelzebub's head as though it belonged to a dog. "Why haven't you disposed of this creature yet?"
Aengus smirked.
"He will be dealt with soon, my dear. But first, I must torture him, to make him understand why he fell to this state. He must regret his actions. Only then will it be truly satisfying, wouldn't it?"
"Oh, right… That's a great plan," Aria replied, her usually kind face alight with cruel intent.
Aengus temporarily stored Beelzebub in his spatial pocket and issued a decree:
"Mobilize with full force. Summon the Generals. The ti has co; for Liberation."
With that, the Imperial Decree was issued, and the human faction of the Liberation Army, consisting of over 200 million soldiers, was mobilized with a grand announcent of conquest and the ultimate goal of liberation.
In the Demon World, the sa was happening. The Liberation Army had been mobilized for war Against Demon Lords.
While the other Demon Lords attended the Demon Lords Council eting, Aengus had a different plan. He intended to catch them off guard by conquering their territories while they were away at the eting.
