Chapter 1036 Hells Armies
Chapter 1036 Hells Armies
"How is the situation at the Genox border, the Polisarious borders, and the remaining active borders? Can we control the borders for the foreseeable future?" One of the Heads of the Altors Union asked an Elder leaning over hundreds of holographic screens spread across a large table.
"The situation is dire. The forces of the Supreme Human Alliance seem to never cease. It is almost like the Hyumans prepared for this all-out war for thousands of years, given how many Divine Lifeforms and High Hyumans they have trained. The forces belonging to Michael Fang must have killed countless powerhouses, including a lot more than 1,000 Divine Lifeforms, yet it doesn't seem like the SHA's defenses grew any weaker."
The Elder sighed deeply. The situation was certainly not in their favor, which was a lot more problematic than expected. They lost 600 Divine Lifeforms to the Heads' trickery against a powerhouse like Michael Fang, who transformed each and every single one of the Divine Lifeforms into powerhouses. He didn't kill anyone of the Altors Union, nor did he abandon them right away after the betrayal. Instead, he allowed the Divine Subordinates to fight for the Altors Union, killing countless Hyumans to leverage the advantage on the battlefield in the Altors Union's favor.
Unfortunately, the Altors Union lost their advantage once the Divine Subordinates and Super Awakened stopped fighting for the Altors Union. It felt like they had been abandoned, but nobody could complain about it and justify their anger. After all, they betrayed Michael first. They were the first to abandon him.
The Elders still loathed the Heads for their actions. If they were to lose the war, it would be Heads' fault.
Of course, not everything would be their fault. The Heads weren't at fault for the Supreme Human Alliance's tremendous power or the overwhelming forces they had trained and hidden from everyone's eyes for centuries. Everyone had been gravely mistaken, thinking they were as strong or maybe even stronger than the Supreme Human Alliance at this point.
However, not even their combined efforts were enough to push the Supreme Human Alliance back any longer. "That does not tell me whether we can control the borders for the time being or if we have to retreat again. We might have conquered some planetary systems and a portion of the Genox Galaxy, but that also stretches our forces thinner since the border in the Genox Galaxy is several times wider."
"We can control the borders for a few years, maybe even a decade or two, as long as the Supreme Human Alliance won't supply their forces with any more Awakened. If they deploy more High Hyumans or Divine Lifeforms, we may have issues defending certain areas in the Genox Galaxy and other borders since our forces were forced to move all across the defensive lines to man the fortresses," The Elder noted and tilted his head once he looked at a certain file before him.
"The Thorn Merchandise and most of the Seven Hells' Demons joined the battle against the Supreme Human Alliance as well. They might not have the greatest advantage against the Hyumans but it looks like their forces can handle the Hyumans better than ours can. One report mentions a human who can grow silver wings and scales, and some other humans and members of other races with similar abilities."
The Head listened up, "Are you possibly talking about the Nest? I thought they ceased to exist a few years ago. Didn't we throw them aside as bait to defeat some Demi-Gods and other powerhouses of the SHA?"
"That was another foolish decision of the Heads. We were surprised Michael joined forces with us after we had already betrayed his people. But thinking about it, Michael Fang must have been prepared for a betrayal on our side. Maybe Michael was hoping for it. That must have been why he didn't sign a customized Link of Loyalty with the Divine Lifeforms he's now calling Divine Subordinates. He sensed something was off and was even happy about it. After all, he doesn't owe anything to us after our betrayal. That's also why he took away the Divine Subordinates, who have been fighting with our people for a while."
"How about you stop blaming us for every mistake? While we might have proposed to get rid of the Nest alongside the Supreme Human Alliance – clearly a mistake from our side – the Elders supported our decision. The majority voted for the plan, which means two or more Elders must have joined our sides. That being said, stop being a piece of dragon dung and behave normally," The Head cursed before adding a little bit more calmingly.
"What exactly is the Nest doing with the Seven Hells Armies? Are they trying to take over the Supreme Human Alliance to regain their glory? I expected them to pull back and lick their wounds for a few decades, given how they lost more than half of their already meager forces."
The Elder's tongue clicked multiple times, but he moved the holographic screens around to unravel a few more screens with more information. The table was overflowing with important intel, yet nobody had bothered to imprint all of it onto their brains.
"I am not all-knowing but I can tell that the Nest is working together with the Seven Hells. According to some reports, the Nest tried to enter our territories to do something with the Hyumans we have taken prison in a handful of planetary systems in the Nevox Galaxy. However, our forces must have rejected the Nest, fearing the Nest's vengeful spirits," The Elder explained, even though the Head standing before him frustrated him to no end.
"That makes sense. I wouldn't want to fight with Curse Users in my back, either. I would never be able to focus on the battlefield ahead of me with someone like them behind." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"That being said, we do not know what exactly they're doing over there, but they must have been busy with some of the Hyumans from the planetary systems that the Seven Hells Armies have conquered. This also leads to the next point on my agenda. The Seven Hells Armies are stronger than ever. If their strength keeps increasing like this, we can come to a simple conclusion."
The Head stared seriously at the Elder, "Michael Fang switched to supporting the Seven Hells?"
"Exactly." "Fuck this!" "That was another foolish decision of the Heads. We were surprised Michael joined forces with us after we had already betrayed his people. But thinking about it, Michael Fang must have been prepared for a betrayal on our side. Maybe Michael was hoping for it. That must have been why he didn't sign a customized Link of Loyalty with the Divine Lifeforms he's now calling Divine Subordinates. He sensed something was off and was even happy about it. After all, he doesn't owe anything to us after our betrayal. That's also why he took away the Divine Subordinates, who have been fighting with our people for a while."
"That is…oddly accurate," The Elder nodded, "Fuck this!"

"How is the situation? Does the Anti-Blood-I potion work, or do we have to pay more attention to the Hyumans on our backs?" Sylth asked the Nest Leader, who had been busy in one of the planetary systems they had captured. Most Nest members fought tirelessly on their sides, but Selena and Evee were always busy with some things.
Apparently, Michael and the Nest had worked together to work on an antidote that worked very well against the Blood Incursion, which had affected almost all members of the Supreme Human Alliance, slowly but steadily influencing their mind and soul to make them feel pure hatred toward all races in the cosmos. Except all human races, of course.
"It works. Not as efficient as we hoped for but it it works!" Selena responded, her eyes twinkling like diamonds in the sky.
Evee was also excited, but she stared seriously at the holographic screen emerging from her Origin Watch, "I am certain we can improve the Anti-Blood-I potion's potency and efficiency in the following years. Please do not kill too many innocent Hyumans since we can rescue them at last. They might not look like victims to you or most other races in the cosmos, but the Hyumans are also victims of the Supreme Human Alliance. At least, most of them."
"They were taken advantage of, inflicted with the Blood Incursion either from birth or before they gained enough strength to overpower its influence, and were forced to do bad things. We do not tell you to spare the Awakened from attacking you, but we hope you can spare the Normies and the Awakened, who cannot fight anymore."
Selena nodded. No matter how much pain the Supreme Human Alliance had inflicted, annihilating the Supreme Human Alliance with everything and everyone was the wrong way to solve all problems. There were countless innocent humans among the SHA. Not everyone deserves to die. Killing everyone would transform those responsible for the massacre into an organization no better than the Hyumans responsible for everything.
"I understand what you're trying to tell me, but I cannot promise you anything. We do know not everyone is responsible for what happened, but our hatred sits deep. If I were to promise you to never kill a civilian out of anger and hatred, I would have to lie. Even if I exclude the astra attacks that must have killed hundreds if not thousands – probably more – I must have killed some innocent people with my attacks because I didn't care about it. I still do not care whether my attacks hurt some Hyuman civilians or not. If you expect me to change my combat style to hurt less Hyumans, you can forget about that," Sylth said with a nonchalant shrug.
Selena nodded. She understood Sylth's point of view and wouldn't change her combat style either. Suddenly changing the way she fought would weaken them drastically. After all, they perfected their own combat style over the course of decades, if not centuries. There was no way in hell they would switch their fighting style to something that didn't fit perfectly to their Soultraits and persona. Not if only the lives of a few Hyumans were on the line.
