'Architect, take direct control of Voidships and supplement the magical barrier created by Mephisto.'

I said in my head to my MTC A.I.

[As you wish.]

Answered back the elderly voice of Architect as I gripped my scythe Rosenkreutz and unleashed my wings as it was time to join the fun. Currently, I was even confident to go in close combat, as I trained a bit and raised my mastery to Expert-Rank.

Still, I will remain with my magic.

Rosenkreutz acted as my Mystic Code, the amplifier one and specialized one. It strengthened my spells by a great deal. When I flew high in the air, Venelana and General Amyke did the same, and General Zagan released four Ultimate-Class Flesh golems upon enemies.

Our side had 7 against 8. That was good, but alas, 7 human Ultimate-Class human barbarians were blasted to dust. Inevitable end, as I wanted to preserve the lives of as many soldiers as possible.

I targeted two Ultimate-Class human barbarians, as Vena and General Amyke took one each, and four Flesh Golems stalled four of them.

I started casting countless Combat-Tier spells, mostly [Grand Fireball], [Magic Missle], and [Thunderclap] spells. I cast tens of them simultaneously as I shot them at the two enemies that were before me.

While they were lower-ranked spells, they mildly injured both Ultimate-Class barbarians. One of them was a pure warrior, and another one was some kind of shaman or something.

Due to their primitive development, their magic system was just based on Elemental Spirit Magic, which lies in borrowing powers from Elemental Spirits.

Primitive societies usually use a relatively easy system. The majority of magic practiced by human tribes in Africa in Draconic Deus or some in Asia was practically something similar. Shamanism was prevalent here and there.

After being injured by me, they started some kind of strategy, as the warrior one stood before the shaman while the shaman started calling upon the elemental spirits. This was rather dangerous, as I wasn't betting my chances on my luck.

If the shaman is lucky, they could summon powerful elemental spirits that could reach even Super-Devil Class / Greater Divinity Stage Gods, which was pretty terrifying. Thus, I immediately cast a huge Strategic-Tier spell, [Chain Dragon Lightning], as a huge dragon made out of lightning materialized above my head and shot with the enormous speed at the shaman that was calling upon the strength of spirits.

When the shaman realized what was going on, the spell fell on him, obliterating him on the spot—instant kill.

"Damm... that body could have been used for Devour."

I cursed a bit as I looked at the Ultimate-Class warrior and attacked him with a barrage of Dark Light spears.

Meanwhile, I was fighting my battle; below me, and the ambush started as the rest of my legions joined the fray together with Arcane Mechanical Automatons, which started dropping from the sky like raindrops.

Slaughter was commenced.

These humans were no match for a perfectly trained, armed, and more advanced civilization. This was inevitable. On the other hand, as I looked around me, I also was aware that we devils could end the same way.

If we are invaded by strong civilizations or factions in the Astral Boundary, like some human Arcane Empires, Mighty Divine Pantheons, or countless strong races.

Soon enough, Venelana killed her opponent by blasting him off with her Power of Destruction. Similar to the effect of bombardment from Anti-Matter Magicule Canon Batteries and three Lunar-Class Cruisers.

The enemy was blasted to oblivion.

Afterward, together with Venelana, we disposed of the rest of the Ultimate-Class humans fighting Flesh Golems of General Zagan. The battle between armies was also coming to an end.

My soldiers now were more experienced than before, and these humans, as poorly armed and trained, were no match for my armies. Arcane Mechanical Automatons, while Drone Types, were very effective against barbarians.

In Draconic Deus, they would be useful only as cannon fodder, but against primitive civilizations such as this, they could be used as effective combat measures.

Within the next one hour, we had disposed of all Ultimate-Class humans, and I obtained the bodies of three Ultimate-Class shamans that would serve as my nourishment. Then four bodies were in good shape, and they went to General Zagan to become Flesh Golems.

I needed a lot of Ultimate-Class Flesh Golems, as they would be handy when conquering the mainland of the Yestera Plane, as there was a high number of General Level Monsters. Fortunately, they fought among themselves for supremacy, so I didn't need to fear any kind of alliance or something.

While the conquest would take a longer time, probably half a year, it will be easier, as I only need to dispose of one or two General Level monsters simultaneously; it will be a hunt or something like that.

'Architect, start cleaning the battlefield.'

Before turning to face my two Generals, I ordered Architect in my head, who was standing before me, with Vena and Lord Mephisto.

"Good work, everyone. General Amyke and General Zagan, you two are in charge of cleaning the battlefield together with Mechs, who the Architect controls. Gather all bodies in one place; they would be processed for energy. Lord Pheles, please cast a protective spell over the entire Ihor for the next one week until we have constructed a proper magic tower structure and stabilized our grasp over the subcontinent."

I said my orders.

With more advanced Arcanotech, I had a new way to create energy: the processing of bodies. The higher the class was, the more energy could be created.

After one week, a proper network of Magic Tower constructed by Arcanotech would be finished, and my hold over the Ihor would be absolute. Then the mining works could also start here, in addition to the Ewor.

With two subcontinents, I can exponentially increase my army and start building combat-oriented Mechs. They would be instrumental in the conquest of the mainland of Yestera.
