The demon lord's dedication to snooping on portal creation helped her to spot Aeternus opening a portal. She picked up quickly on a strangely powerful abyss altar open a portal in the domain of high-rank demons. Such a portal should not be seen among high-rank demons. She collected more data and determined it to be Aeternus but she didn't make any rash moves yet.
She is familiar with his energy signature so she can say for certain that he opened the portal but she waited to confirm that he actually passed through the portal. It is important that he went through that portal instead of trying to fool her into thinking he went through the portal.
He could have opened multiple portals to fool her so she decided to use the strangeness of his aura based on his weird energy to confirm his passage out of the abyss. It was only when she was certain that he crossed the portal that she informed her subordinates to prepare for war.
"I've got him now. No one can deceive me." She roared with glee.
She is the Lord of the plane so she has certain privileges which she used to the fullest to determine his destination. Now she knows that he has left the plane and she also knows where he went through the connection the portal created as it opened.
She muttered after realizing which plane they would be attacking. "Why would he choose this plane? This plane has not been attacked for a while now. It's too difficult. It doesn't matter anyway. I will corner him and get what I deserve from him."
She doesn't understand why Aeternus will choose to attack this plane but it doesn't matter since she has confirmed that it is the plane he will be going to. She got the portal coordinates as soon as the portal opened. She is that efficient. Nothing will stop her from getting her hands on him.
So another set of war horns sounded out and another set of soldiers was mobilized. This time the army is much larger than that of Aeternus. Her house is much older than Aeternus's. She has more troops and they are more powerful than his too. She may not have demon dukes but she has many demon nobles who can use accumulation.
She shared the coordinates of Aeternus's destination plane with her allies too. Different war horns in various parts of the domain of noble demons were blown too. They have signed a contract with her to help her apprehend Aeternus. The bulk of the forces of the 541st plane is moving out together to fight a single demon. It is the hunt for Aeternus by high-rank demons again except it is on a larger scale. There's no way they can fail as the high-rank demons did. If Aeternus can handle them, then he wouldn't have hidden in the domain of high-rank demons all along.
The demon lord was boiling with excitement.
"I can't wait to get him." She said as she used the energy well to open a portal.
A giant portal more than a kilometer in diameter opened. Her portal was created with the full assistance of the plane so it is the biggest portal in the plane. It showed the destination after clearing up. The portal connected to the same destination that Aeternus's portal connected to. So the demon lord's portal showed a large plain of black sand.
"It's the Armageddon of the plane. I'll get you this time around." She said to herself then she ordered her army to move.
The portals of the demon nobles also showed the Armageddon of the plane they are attacking. It's the place where demons are transported to if they are attacking a plane with a divine plane. It is only if a plane doesn't have a divine plane that demons can tunnel freely into the main plane.
Back to Zargoth Plane.
Zargoth had called for a divine council after his meeting with Helios so the gods were in their meeting talking about what to do about Helios when a power greater than the power of the divine plane and even greater than the power of the will of the realm of high heaven descended abruptly into their plane. This power behaved like a tyrant in its quest. It came for a reason and it won't leave without fulfilling that reason. Even mother high heaven cannot interfere with the actions of this power.
The law matrix, the fabric that is the foundation of the visible and invisible universe, activated for the first time in a long time within the Zargoth plane. The law matrix present withi the plane thrummed with power. As greater as the power is, its actions aren't something that can be sensed in other times but it became especially glaring in a plane without Origin energy.
Something like this won't have drawn any attention in the Virut plane since it happens every time. But it more than drew attention now. All the gods knew what it was and who it is happening to immediately. Even the mortals could see the effect of the invocation of the law matrix.
Transcendents in the plane noticed, and so did the mana entities. It was like the announcement of a new god. It became a public event. The Colossus, behemoths, and Demigods in the mortal realm all turned in the same direction with various expressions on their faces. There was mostly shock and some longing on their faces. All the gods had their eyes glued to the pillar of fire descending from the sky in that location. They all had a look of shock on their face.
The pillar of fire made of cosmic energy fell onto a golden giant meditating in the air. That golden giant is becoming a king of law and is being crowned for his effort in comprehending the complete law of fire by the void universe itself. This giant has fully comprehended the law of fire and thus invoked the law matrix for acknowledgment. Then the pillar disappeared after finishing its duty.
