Chapter 109 - - Invading a Middle World

—————✧✧✧✧—————

The way Heinz looked at Zatiel right now was the same stare one would give a madman.

“Are you suicidal!?, if we try to attack the Heavenly Creator World, we will be erased from existence before touching the surface. Even the entire military might of the Magi World would not be enough to invade it. That is a world that can equal the Abyss and Baator in regards to power.”

All High Worlds were not equal, and despite the Magi World being a supreme power in the universe, it was too young, and the amount of Being of Laws that has produced could not compare to the other worlds and planes that have existed for hundreds of billions of years.

When someone becomes a Being of Laws, they become challenging to kill, to the point that they are considered eternal and share their life with the laws. Even though maybe less than one person in one hundred billion can become an entity like that, with enough time, their number could reach the hundreds easily in a High World.

In the mind of the Heavenly race, the rest of the life forms in the universe must kneel and worship them, so if they were not so ridiculously powerful, then their enemies would have exterminated them a long time ago.

“Hahahaha, of course not. Those at Rank 4 are considered cannon fodder in direct battles among High World and Planes. What I am talking about is invading a satellite world dominated by the Heavenly race.”

Most individuals and organizations in the High Worlds were prone to invade and dominate other worlds. Those conquered are called satellite worlds and are usually terraformed to be better suited to the invader race.

The aboriginal people are usually either exterminated or enslaved. In the best cases when the invaders are merciful, those in power are replaced, and the masses remain oblivious to the fact that they serve an alien force.

“You should have said that first. For a moment, I thought you went crazy.” Heinz’s expression relaxed immediately after hearing Zatiel’s words.

He may have an immense battle spirit, but that doesn’t mean he will enter a fight he knew he would lose just to for the sake of wealth.

Heinz did not bother asking Zatiel how he knew of this world or obtained the coordinates and just took it as another display of the ever-growing list of knowledge he displayed.

“How powerful is this world?.”

The world’s power was fundamental when planning an invasion since it determined the maximum Rank that the individuals inside the world could display. Normal High Worlds have their limit at Rank 6 and Low and Middle World at Rank 4.

If it was a Low World, then Heinz was sure he could invade it with his forces alone since in those worlds are not fit for those at Rank 4 to train due to the shortage in energy and at most the amount of Soul Forging existence inside it will be less than five.

But if it was a Middle World, everything changes since those worlds can accommodate dozen or maybe hundred of Rank 4 life forms without a problem.

“It is a Middle World, and although I don’t know how many Rank 4 existences are inside it, I can tell you the members of the Heavenly race already altered it to increase their numbers.”

After hearing Zatiel’s words, Heinz tried to figure out the best approach for this invasion.

“We will need help. Normally in cases with Middle Worlds, there must be at least another ten Rank 4 to establish a powerful enough stronghold. But since our opponent will be the Heavenly race, then things are different.”

Heinz’s experience in world wars was evident, and although Zatiel had already figured out a plan, he wanted to know the cultivator’s ideas.

“The Heavenly race has powerful bloodlines, and although due to my comprehension over the laws I can display a power equal to Rank 5 for some time, if one of those with a Law bloodline were to appear, I could at most equal him in battle. The amount of Rank 4 that we will need participating in this invasion is around twenty to thirty.”

Zatiel was satisfied with Heinz’s analysis of this invasion and the forces he thought he needed. Most people in his situation would rather have fewer Rank 4 members involved, even if that means a higher risk and the possibility that the entire forces under their command die.

But even so, Zatiel’s experience was way greater than the cultivator when it comes to invasion, and his plan was different from the one of Heinz.

“The amount of Soul Forging existences participating in this invasion will only be ten, including you.”

Although Heinz was surprised by Zatiel’s words, he knew that his brother was not foolish, so he just waited for him to continue speaking.

“With regards to the Law bloodline of the Heavenly race, you don’t have to worry too much, since it normally takes millions of years for one of them to be born and the possibility that they will meddle in the invasion of a Middle World is extremely low.” When he said this, there was a slight disappointment in Zatiel’s face, giving the aura of a hunter that could not find his prey.

“I will enter with the first batch into the world, and I will do something that will submerge the entire planet in complete chaos. By then, even if they know that we are invading, there will be impossible for them to use the full power of the world against us, so ten Rank 4 will be enough to protect the stronghold and advance our conquest.” In Zatiel’s eyes, there was great confidence. He was sure that even with his current power, the effect that his actions could produce in a world war would be apocalyptic.

Although those at Rank 1 and 2 are merely scouts in the invasions of the Middle World, Heinz was sure that his brother’s actions would have a bigger effect than all the other Rank 4 individuals together.

“Can you explain to me your plan? Maybe I can apport something,” Heinz knew that the possibility of him improving Zatiel’s plan was small, but this was an opportunity to learn, so the cultivator feels no problem in asking.

“Of course, I was going to explain it to you anyway.”

Zatiel started to explain what he would do. The more Heinz discovered, the greater his surprise was.

To accomplish his plan, the only thing Zatiel needed was the use of his knowledge and some “resources” that could be found on any planet.

In the end, it was not Heinz that helped Zatiel with his plan, but Dante.

The boy gave some advice from now and then, altering certain detail. Although the changes were very small, their help was significant, and the probability of success increased significantly.

“If we follow your plan, then ten Rank 4 existence will be more than enough.” Heinz was very confident in the plan that the two of them created.

“Be careful with who you pick. Also, reveal little about the plan, so they understand what we will do and tell them that it was your idea. I don’t have the time or the desire to convince them to follow my instructions.”

Zateil knows that most Rank 4 existences are so arrogant that even if they know that his plan is the best path to follow, they will dismiss it just because of his power.

Of course, if he were able to convince them to follow his plan and then achieve it perfectly, he would gain the admiration of those Rank 4 existence.

But why will he bother to impress some people that not long in the future will only be able to look up to him?

…..

A couple of hours later, in Zatiel’s room, both Sophia and Ezequiel looked attentively at Dante.

When the boy first showed up, the duo was beyond shocked. After all, Zatiel was away for less than a day, and he came back with a ten-year-old son.

The duo calmed down only when Zatiel explained the circumstances behind his birth.

Sophia’s eyes were sparkling as she played with the boy’s face, and despite Ezequiel displaying his quiet personality, there was warmth and fondness in his eyes as he looked at Dante.

Dante was happy at first when he met his father’s trusted people, but he was becoming frustrated as the woman that identifies herself as his father’s “first wife” did not stop playing with his face.

The love they were showing made him feel extremely happy, but as someone with great intellect, the boy didn’t like being treated like a baby. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do to stop Sophia, and when he looked at Zatiel for help, he only pretended he was not seeing.

As Sophia played with Dante, she looked in Zatiel’s direction, and her eyes expressed an immense longing and desire.

Zatiel immediately understood the woman’s feelings and what she was trying to express.

“Eventually, it will happen.” Zatiel smiled as he spoke those words.

The stronger the parents were, the harder it was for the primordial essence of their souls to fuse and create a life. Although they were both at Rank 1, their bloodlines were incredibly powerful, especially in Zatiel’s case, making it difficult to conceive a child.

But Zatiel knows that as his True Names advance, so will his reproductive abilities, and he was sure that his offspring would not be small.
