"What is this?"
Deep in the starry sky, a lone angel looked down upon an unnamed world. His eyes clearly reflected his shock as he did so.
After all, he didn't expect that when he finally arrived in the Human Domain, the scene he would see was war.
Actually, he'd been in the Human Domain for quite some time, but he wasn't able to find anything substantial. Only when he finally checked the flow of fate did he find that the fate of this sector was concentrated on a single world at the moment.
As for how he did so, naturally, it was due to his status as a High Angel. Angels were beings who already had heavy ties to Fate and Karma. Once they reached a high enough boundary, it was even possible for them to perceive and read it.
Though, they couldn't do so as intrinsically as Rose could with her Eyes of Destiny.
Nevertheless, when Parsiel finally arrived at this planet, he found a war. Combined with the fact that the sector's fate was being attracted to this world, it meant this war was incredibly important for the sector's future.
'Don't tell me this is…'
Parsiel was a smart man. It was the reason why he was the only angel who realized the Human Domain's importance. It didn't take long for him to deduce the world's identity.
"Just like your Fallen Heaven and our Demon Abyss, this must be the Infected Source World of their Sector. Parsiel, my good friend, why didn't you tell me you were going to explore something so fun?"
A figure materialized next to the High Angel. This was none other than Demon Emperor Lucifer, the ruler of Sector 2.
"Lucifer, to think you followed me all the way here. But why are you acting so high and mighty? Can't you sense the sheer number of Divinities in that world?" Parsiel asked without any surprise at the sudden visitor. Even if Lucifer was powerful, he wasn't powerful enough to hide from him.
Lucifer shrugged in response. "How could I not be aware? However, doesn't their presence just validate your theories? They are not involved with us, nor are we involved with them. I am content with sitting on the sidelines and enjoying the show."
Parsiel shook his head and returned his attention to the unnamed world. From his vantage point, he could even see the two Cloud Plane starships that had just landed on the planet moments prior.
"If I'm reading the flow correctly, the final participating force has just arrived. Now all that is left to see is whether or not they can truly uproot this Infected Source World. If they can manage it, they'll have accomplished something unimaginable."
There was an Infected Source World in every Sector, not just the Human Domain. However, these Infected Source Worlds were far more terrifying than the unnamed world where Niflheim resided.
These worlds were Nox-infested. There wasn't a single being within that wasn't enslaved by the foreign race. And on those worlds, there would be thousands of 4th class Nox and dozens of Demigods. These worlds truly had the strength to contend with the entire Sectors they occupied.
Infected Source Worlds were ticking time bombs where the Nox multiplied and grew in power. It was every sector's wish to destroy them.
But they were too powerful. When there were Nox pressuring them from outside and within, no sector could afford a full-on war with the Infected Source Worlds.
But the Human Domain was different. Not only were they largely cut off from the wider universe, but they had also been struck incredibly hard in the previous war.
There was only a single Nox Demigod and many Corrupted Demigods. With the number of Demigods on the allied side, destroying them wouldn't be a problem.
This was an advantage only the Human Domain possessed, and it was an advantage they thoroughly earned for themselves.
After all, the Human Domain's current situation was only such because of how fiercely its precious generation had fought.
Parsiel shook his head in wonder. "Now that this final force has arrived, it shouldn't take longer than another month for the situation to reach its climax. Let us stay and watch. I really am curious about what these humans can achieve."
With that, Parsiel and Lucifer entered a small personal space vessel where they'd spend their time for the next few weeks.
They would thoroughly enjoy this show while also evaluating the Human Domain. If they could meet the expectations that'd been set, it could only mean good things for their future.
***
The Celestial and Star Squadrons landed on the unnamed world precisely on the 3rd day of the 6th month. They were perfectly on schedule.
But the scene that greeted them was chaos.
After Bai Xieren explained the chain of events that led to this outcome, Tian Yang immediately sent his troops out.
They were going straight to war!
The Celestial and Star squadrons rapidly made their way to Hub City Evalion. Once they reached it, Tian Yang stared into the earth seriously.
Evotech was Niflheim's front on this unnamed world, and Evalion was its concealment formation. The true layer of the Nox known as Niflheim was present directly underneath this Hub City.
'Little Bai should start attacking that Asgard soon enough. I guess we should get working too. Still, I wonder where that brat is?'
Tian Yang glanced at the two women behind him as he thought so. This brat was truly unable to appreciate what he had. Shaking off his unnecessary thoughts, Tian Yang raised his arm into the air.
"We are cultivators who challenge the Heavens themselves! When a mere group of insects dares to steal from us, what should we do?!" He roared. His mana washed over the troops standing behind them, causing their blood to boil.
They stood as one and chanted with fervor in their eyes.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Good!" Tian Yang exclaimed. "If you're itching to kill so much, then go! Charge!"
He brought his hand down. Space within thousands of kilometers compressed and bore down on Evalion heavily. The city was already situated over a gaping abyss, so when such an immense amount of pressure was forced onto it…
VOOM!
The city imploded in on itself. The abyss below was revealed. Following Tian Yang's command, the Celestial and Star Squadrons swarmed into the darkness.
Sounds of battle rang out soon after, coupled with pitiful screams and horrific inhuman shrieks.
Tian Yang watched casually from the sky, but his awareness was actually spread completely.
'The underground is just where the unintelligent 3rd class and below Nox stay. That isn't even mosquito meat. When is my premium steak going to show up?'
Tian Yang was a patient man. He waited nicely for many minutes before the rushing sounds of wind invaded his ears.
"Finally!" He exclaimed in excitement. How many years had it been since he found a good battlefield like this one? With all this chaos came a great deal of fun!
He would thoroughly play with these little early and mid-level 4th-class beings as much as he wanted.
And perhaps…
'Perhaps I'll kill a Demigod while I'm at it.'
Tian Yang grinned at his own exceedingly arrogant thoughts.
Right, if a Demigod came, things would be even more fun.
