Chapter 47 - Preparations before the Conquest

POV Return

After I have returned to Castle Fuerig, my Spitting Thorny Flower took roots in the separate garden which was located in the underground complex under the Castle Fuerig and started digesting the corpses of the Fallen Angels, I have been supplying.

While Spitting Thorny Flower was the lowest evolution of this species, its digestion speed was still absolutely terrifying. I could digest hundreds of corpses within a day. I have waited three days, and just after three days it has reached Pinnacle of the Warrior Level, and now was preparing for the next evolution.

With Architect's calculations, I found out, for the next evolution, will need 5,000 of them. No wonder most of these flowers never evolved beyond Bloody Thorny Flower, which is the next evolutionary stage of the Spitting Thorny Flower. The amount of fertilizer was enormous, I wonder how that one, which Shiva contracted was able to reach its level, before being found out before Shiva.

Maybe it discovered some kind of God's Graveyard. Considering that one was living in the Dimensional World of Hindu Pantheon, it seemed possible.

Fortunately, I have enough fertilizer, so I left it there and also, left there a few Arcane Mechanical Automatons, that will be taking care of the feeding process. Now the most important thing was the Planar Conquest of the Yestera Plane.

I have already sent a notice to the House of Bael, telling them we could start. Soon Venelana and also that Magicians from Zekram would arrive.

And soon enough, after I sent the notice, Venelana arrived through the long-ranged teleportation. Contrary to what she was usually wearing, this time she was wearing combat armor. I must admit, that she looked more attractive in the armor rather than in dresses.

"Hello Vena... you look gorgeous in the armor."

I said while gently kissing her hand, to which she giggled in satisfaction.

"Hello to you as well Zeo. Magicians should arrive soon."

Said Venelana.

"Magicians?"

I asked in confusion, as I thought Zekram would send only one person.

"Yes. There is only one Ultimate-Class magician, Mephisto Pheles. He brought with him his apprentices to experience Planar Conquest. Most of them are of High-Class and pretty skilled in many magic systems."

I perked up hearing that Mephisto Pheles would come. He was the best magician among devils that has mastered countless types of magic. He often used humans as his medium, entering into a contract with humans, he will give them power, while they would obtain for him new magic.

This is good, I can compare notes with him about my Tier Magic System.

After some time, Mephisto Pheles along with his apprentices arrived. Mephisto Pheles is a middle-aged man with gelled hair, which is a mixture of red and blue. He has heterochromia; his left eye is blue, while the right is red. He had that weird aura of mysteriousness around him like you can't know what is this person thinking or something in that way.

"Lord Mephisto, I welcome you to my abode the Castle Fuerig."

I welcomed him with a slight bow. He was Lord of his own house, The House of Pheles, and was also the best and most respected magician in the devil species.

"I am grateful for such warm welcome, Lord Gremory. It honors to meet someone of your lineage after your parents passed away."

Said he in a polite voice as he bowed back.

'So he knows... Zekram. Apparently, my little secret won't be secret for a long time.'

I thought in my head as I gestured for him to follow me together with Venelana.

"Now, I will be taking to this expedition altogether 13 Legions, which are 2,6 million soldiers and two of my Generals who are on Ultimate-Class. I, unfortunately, don't have proper battle magic-oriented Legions, so that responsibility for long-distance attacks would mainly fall on you Lord Pheles, and me."

I said to him.

"That is acceptable. I will instruct my apprentices to start building the portal slowly. It will be done within the upcoming days, as it requires many resources and experiences magicians to open. I heard from Lord Zekram that your Lordship is well-versed in magic to the point of creating a wholly new Magic System. If possible, may you show me the results of your research? I will also show you something of my own creation in exchange."

Said Mephisto Pheles to me to which I smiled widely. This was something I have waited for.

"Of course, it would be my p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to discuss magic with the genius of our race, Lord Pheles."

I said happily, but then I saw bored Venelana.

"But before that, I need to spend some time with my fianceé, naturally you understand."

I said hurriedly, as I knew if I start the academic discussion now, we will be discussing magic for several days straight, and Venelana would be unhappy, she will not say anything, but I knew she would be disappointed.

"Obviously I understand, I also have some obligations that I need to fulfill, so we will meet in the evening?"

Asked me he, to which I nodded my head in agreement.

"Thank you."

Said Venelana quietly to me to which I smiled little.

"Grandfather send you his regards."

"Where is he?"

"Now he is meeting with Werewolf Tribes. While they are much weaker than Bloodkin, they also have two or three combatants powerful enough to cause damage to Church. Apparently, after your discussion with him, he is hell-bent on the destruction of Church."

Said Venelana.

"Hmm... I that destruction of the Church won't be entirely possible, but we can destroy its influence in other parts of Europe. In Italy, it is far deeply rooted, but from Britannia, Ireland, and eastern Europe it could still be purged with fire and blood."

I said with a feral grin. Italy and central Europe were lost case, Heaven would protect it at all costs, but other areas have some Pantheons that are hiding in fear from Yahweh and his Archangels, but that would soon end.
