"My Lord, there are three methods to control a planet's laws." Celestia said respectfully.
"Elaborate."
"First, the laws voluntarily yield their core origin. Second, use Divine Power to forcibly suppress it. Third is what the demons are doing, that is, to slowly devour and assimilate the Laws' origin with an artifact like the Eye of the Abyss. The third option is easier but takes the longest, which is why even after a hundred thousand years, the demons haven't succeeded."
Haru rubbed his forehead. All three options seemed difficult. The first was almost impossible. A planet's laws had their own spirit and wouldn't willingly submit. The third took too long and for now, Haru didn't have that much time.
Only the second remained: absolute suppression to force the Laws' surrender, but this required multiple Supreme Gods and catching the Laws at their weakest.
"In the third layer are two Supreme God Tier demons and dozens of High God Tier demons." Celestia said after hearing his thoughts, "If we kill them, our peak High God Tier Angels could get promoted to the Supreme God Tier, but first, we must improve their growth potential and make them Eighteen-Winged Seraphims."
"Raising their potential isn't easy." Haru said, "At their level, I doubt even top-level Bloodline Evolution Blueprints might work, and we only have an extremely slim chance of getting those as a drop item from Intermediate or High Gods."
It was very difficult to get another Eighteen-Winged Angel. At that point, it would be easier for Haru himself to become a Supreme God as he was already a peak High God. Perhaps killing a few High Gods would be enough for his ascension.
As a castle lord with no limits on his growth potential, he was confident he'd achieve Supreme God Tier in this tournament. At that time, he'd become a True Emperor and leader of one of the strongest Pantheons in the Endless Continent, a Pantheon with at least three Supreme Gods.
"I wonder if after my promotion to Supreme God Tier, we three can suppress the weakened Laws?"
"We can try." Celestia said, though uncertain.
"Let's not think about it now." Haru said, "Use your natal artifact to seal the second layer. We'll unseal it after destroying all magic nests here."
"As you command, Lord Almighty!"
Celestia immediately took out her natal artifact, which was a peak Supreme God Tier Artifact. Few such masterpieces existed in the entire Endless Continent, that too held by ancient Pantheons like the Titan Pantheon. A terrifying force radiated from Celestia and within seconds, she sealed the entire second layer.
"Done, my Lord. The demons cannot use their magic nests to contact the Abyss now. The two Supreme God Tier demons in the third layer cannot perceive what happens here as well. Unless they come to check, they won't know anything even if we wipe out all the demons."
"Excellent!" Haru nodded appreciatively, "You two act separately. Your primary task is to destroy the magic nests. Don't kill all demons, leave some for the Imperial Army."
""As you command, Lord Almighty!""
As Haru waved his hand, Celestia and Yvonne vanished, heading to different areas. In the blink of an eye, the magic nest Haru had perceived thousands of kilometers away suffered Yvonne's devastating blow.
She waved her golden spear, releasing a massive golden thunder. With a loud explosion, the thousand-meter-high magic nest was obliterated. Countless demonic embryos and eggs turned to dust. The entire nest was wiped out, along with the nearby demons.
"Damn! Who dares invade our territory?!"
In the nearby demon city, Demonic Gods roared in anger. Three peak Intermediate Gods managed those cities. They rushed into the sky and locked onto Yvonne.
"What creature is this?" The three froze, then sensing her horrifying Divine Power, they started trembling.
"It's an alien Supreme God! Withdraw!!"
The three fled without a word, ignoring their clansmen in the demonic cities. Demons were an inherently selfish race. Their actions were completely normal. Only when commanded by High God Tier Demons would they not dare to retreat.
"You heretic!" Yvonne pointed her golden spear at them and golden thunder swept past. The three peak Intermediate God Tier demons exploded into a bloody mist.
"Don't kill me!" Their demonic souls screamed in the mist. Never in their wildest dreams would they have imagined that someone would kill them in their own territory, and that too, a Supreme God of an alien race. Hadn't Arboriel been sealed by the Laws?
They couldn't figure it out and Yvonne didn't give them time, directly suppressing and sealing their souls while completely wiping out their physical bodies.
The Lord had said to not kill 'all' demons in the second layer, but that didn't mean that she couldn't kill some of them. Yvonne was merciless. She suppressed their souls rather than destroying them because Haru's Holy Light Temple had the Holy Grail, which could forcibly 'cleanse' their evil souls. It was far more efficient to seal, transform, and then resurrect them using the Angel Reincarnation Pool.
By then, Haru would command "demons" with light attributes and affinities—a completely new race. What race the transformed demons would become, Haru didn't know yet, but he definitely looked forward to it.
