Nolan was currently sitting inside the Grand Hall of the Demonic Sect, this was the same hall that he lost consciousness in after he met the old man. Sitting opposite him was that same old man he'd met previously. The old man offered him tea but he refused it, at such a young age, how could he be drinking tea so the old man offered him some juice.
“So, Demonic Child, why have you come to visit me? I doubt you're here just to have a casual conversation.”
“Yes, as expected of High Elder Goik, you saw right through me. I'm actually here for a very important matter that I think I might need your help with.” said Nolan respectfully. Even though he held a higher status than the old man, he was still respectful because of how strong he was.
The hierarchy of the Demonic Sect went like this; Outer Disciples, Inner Disciples, Core Disciples, Outer Elders, Inner Elders, Core Elders, High Elder, Grand Elder and finally the Supreme Elders.
Outer Disciples were at the Star Warrior and Constellation Realm, Inner Disciples at the Celestial and Nova Realms, Core Disciples were at the Supernova and Nebula Realm, Outer Elders were at the Nebula Realm, Inner Elders at the Propostar Realm, Core Elders Elders at the Red Giant Star Realm, High Elders at the White Dwarf Star Realm and Grand Elders at the Black Dwarf Star Realm.
Anything above that like the ant-man Nolan had come into contact with wasn't mentioned in the memories he had obtained from the token in his heart and mind. While in seclusion, Nolan had looked for the token inside his body but couldn't find it no matter where he looked.
“What matter does the Demonic Child want help with? Just say the word and I'll be happy to help.” said High Elder Goik.
“I plan on waging war with my home planet. I want that galaxy for myself so I'm gonna need an army.” said Nolan solemnly.
“You've reached the realm to qualify to command an army, I don't see why not. By the way, what's the name of your galaxy and home planet?” asked the elder.
“The galaxy is called the Milky Way Galaxy and my home planet is called Earth. I've chosen my home as my base of operation.”
“The Milky Way Galaxy?! Earth?! That's where you come from?!” exclaimed the elder.
“Yes, have you been there or have you heard of it before from someone?” asked Nolan with confused eyes.
“That place is not simple. Not simple even in the slightest bit. We went there once to look for the Grand Elder but as soon as our steps entered the Milky Way Galaxy, our strength was sealed completely and we could only use the strength of the Red Giant Star Realm. The closer we got to Earth, the more our strength was sealed and by the time we floated outside it, we could only use the strength of the Propostar Realm. So we decided to leave that place alone since entering meant our strength being completely sealed.” explained the elder.

“What?! Is that really the case?! But then how can the other races be able to dominate on Earth when their strength should've been sealed?”
“Oh that. It's quite simple actually. Using Gates, Towers or Dungeons, these people challenge the Earthlings. If the Earthlings win then they'd get a boost in strength, obtain Skills and other rewards but if the challenges win, they obtain the right to live on Earth without suppression. Many survivors of the galaxies we've destroyed used this method to survive on Earth and recuperate there.”
“I see. So in order to conquer Earth with my army, I need to invade the place using either a Gate, Dungeon or Tower, is that right?” asked Nolan.
“Yes but to invade Earth, you're gonna need a large army so I would recommend you invade using a Gate since a Gate Outbreak could occur if it isn't conquered in the time allocated. The tower is another option because those who enter can only leave after clearing a floor, it's good for trapping your opponents.” explained the elder.
“I understand. I want the whole sect to become my army, excluding Core Elders and above personnel. Everyone below is coming with me to take over Earth and the Milky Way Galaxy!” said Nolan with a dashing smile.
“Don't be hasty, Demonic Child, you can request for an army to help with your conquest. These disciples and elders aren't trained in war so taking them with you might be a waste of both resources and effort. I implore you to choose wisely.” said the elder in panic.
“I've made my decision. All disciples and elders will go with me to conquer my home planet. As for their experience in the art of war, worry not because I have the right tools to shape them into the kind of weapon I want hehe! Please assemble everyone at the square tomorrow Elder Goik!” said Nolan as he stood up and left with large strides.
High Elder Goik watched Nolan walk out of the Grand Hall and it was after he left that the elder sighed and remarked.
“Damn Earthlings, bunch of weird bastards! Fortunately, the Demonic Child is as weird as them, hehe. I wonder how things will turn out like.”
…
The next day, a massive crowd of disciples and elders sat cross legged in the open area. They murmured among themselves, making speculations about what was going on but all their speculations were wrong.
“I think another Holy World is about to open so that's why we were summoned here.”
“I heard that the Blood Ceremony would be held earlier this time around, is it about that?”
“I heard rumours that new Ruins were discovered so maybe we're going there.”
{SILENCE!}
While they were chatting, an authoritative voice sounded out, completely suppressing everyone in the square. It was High Elder Goik who had just spoken.
{I have an announcement to make. Everyone below the status of Core Elders, prepare yourselves for war. You shall become the army of the Demonic Child. Work hard and serve the Demon Child well.} said High Elder Goik. Everyone in the square was completely shocked by this news because it didn't make sense. Never before had disciples and elders of the sect forced to become someone's army. Usually, army soldiers were chosen when recruiting disciples and no one was forced to join the army.
While they were complaining, they didn't notice the Magic Formation on the ground that had silently activated. A voice then sounded in their ears. It was a cold, deep and murderous voice. It carried with it no sympathy, no care, no kindness, no nothing for human lives. It cared not about their opinions nor their complaints. It only demanded that one follow the instructions without asking questions.
[The sect feeds you, clothes you, shelters you and even provides for you yet there's nothing you've done for the sect except for take, take and take. But don't worry, you now have a chance to pay back the sect by serving as my army, as the army of Demonic Child Nolan. Work hard to please me and I promise not to eat you. We'll set off once my Tower is ready, for now, experience what war is like and what you need to do to survive.] said Nolan coldly.
