By the time Kent returned to Skull City, his three Soul Warriors had finished conquering all seven gateways and had amassed over 20 million ready to match into battle warriors already.

Millions were still taking the Trial of Evil, while millions were still trying to earn the Mark of Evil. Kent quickly summoned more gateways to the Trial of Evil to speed things up.

Naturally, he speculated that by the end of the year, all of them would earn the Mark of Evil, and the warriors would have passed the trial and become Epic Evils.

His estimation also showed that by the time all of them were done, he would have over 60 million warriors under his command.

Kent knew this kind of army, while strong, was nothing compared to what the enemy had in mind. Back then, over five hundred million void beasts attacked the primordial era, and they were merely one legion of many legions.

So he handed them over to Malak, who immediately created the Trial of Evil for those he deemed worthy to take and become True Evils. He also built a unique Tower of Ascension, so all who would ascend would not be under the authority of the heavens but under the authority of the Evil Dao.

Kent had already planned to give him enough manpower to conquer the entire Star Realm and all Banished Zones inside the Star Realm.

His plan had already been realized when he awakened his Evil Heart. Now, he knew that with Malak in command, it was only a matter of time before every last Star Beast would become his to command.

He estimated there would be at least 300 million evil warriors when Malak was done here.

Before Kent opened the gateway that would take him to Elina’s galaxy, he decided to finalize some details first. He would be leaving Malak to handle the mission to conquer the entire Star Realm, but he would not leave him without aid.

"Big Brother Malak, Gideon and his sentient army have decided to aid you in your quest. Now, you have the Evil Army, the Forbidden Beast Army, the Abomination Beast Army, and the Vagabonds at your disposal to command.

Your mission is to conquer the Upside-Down Cliff, the Second and Third Heavens, and other Banished Zones. I know you want to work your magic on them, but for now, focus on bringing order to the Star Realm.

Once you handle that, I will have a place ready for you to bring your army. Also, I will try to awaken the rest of my brothers. This way, you all can work together to build the strongest army in the universe for me."

"Do not worry, Little Brother. I will be done long before you know it." Kent had no doubt that Malak would be able to handle the mission.

After all, he had already amassed a large enough army, and after he conquered the Upside-Down Cliff, he would have more than enough forces to command while conquering the other Star heavens.

"Also, you must know that there is a chance that three out of the seven Rulers are on my side. If that turns out to be the case, make them take the Trial of Evil and assimilate them into your ranks.

I have no idea what you are going to accomplish, Big Brother, but I cannot wait to see the kind of Evil Legion you will be building here."

Malak smiled and nodded at Kent. To be frank, he had been bored during the billions of years he spent sleeping. So this sounded like the perfect time to take action and build something great for his little brother.

In the end, Kent decided to take his 48 Demigod Beasts with him once he got to Elina’s universe and could enter the tower again. Tower will handle that, of course.

His three Soul Warriors would also be leaving with him. Bello had summoned a total of ten Grim Reapers. and each had become a demigod. They had also managed to gain 100 more warrior candidates, which he would work on when he returned to the tower.

Kent had no mission for them yet, but Tower told him that once he ascended, there would be more than enough missions to keep everyone busy.

He would also be leaving with Pandora, Yukiko, Mila, Nuella, and the High Priestess, who had now become an Enchantress and chosen to change her name to Misana.

"Misana, your mission is to make sure all the non-warriors get the Mark of Evil. They will be leaving here since the Star Realm would soon become chaotic, and I do not want them implicated."

"I will get right on it, Evil Prince."

Kent nodded, not minding how the Evil Race now referred to him. While he had no idea what any of this truly meant yet, he could tell that the more people knew him and called him by that name, the stronger his hold on his evil powers became.

So, weird as it may sound, he did not care much about being called the Evil Prince.

For now, Kent knew he must hurry back so he and Gaia could plan how to build cities large enough to accommodate everyone.

While they were non-combatants, living inside the tower would contribute to his growing soul strength, so Kent wanted them there. The only issue was their numbers.

Gaia would need a lot of time to handle such a demand. But Kent could already see how happy she would become to have such missions given to her and her minions.

The moment Kent was done handling all the other minor missions, he summoned Ryoa, who returned with five subordinates.

Kent was a bit taken aback, but after learning what he had been up to since they parted ways, he decided to let him continue his exploration.

Gaap had awakened and had now broken the second seal. Aside from that, the second weapon Lady Kenzie had created had also awakened, and just like Gaap, he had also broken the second seal.

With two living weapons at his disposal, Ryoa could roam as far as he wanted, provided he did not get into trouble.

Lastly, Kent was shocked to learn that the Shadow Fiends he had sent to aid his three Soul Warriors had become Demigods and, even more shocking, that over 200 more had awakened.

Kent decided to keep them inside the Faceless Shadow Realm. This way, whenever he used the Faceless Shadow Realm, they would serve as added muscle. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He had no idea what any of this meant yet, but Kent could not wait to reach the Immortal Stage for both his sword and shadow professions to become domains.

"I feel like taking you all with me would make my legion back home sad and heartbroken, considering the gap in strength is just too vast.

Well, Kaizo would be thrilled to have more powerful people to fight, but for the mental health of my pals back home, the moment Tower sends you there, try to get along with them."

Kent said to his 48 Demigods as he got ready to open the gateway to Elina’s Galaxy.

They laughed but nodded.

"We will take it easy on them, Young Lord," Crimson said, his hands crossed over his chest.

"That is good to hear. Also, whatever you do, do not challenge the one named Avotha to a duel. He is a monster and a very dangerous dragon."

Tower had revealed some things to Kent, so he knew Avotha and some members of his legion had become monsters while he was away.

"I will see you guys soon enough." Kent waved goodbye and opened a swirling green portal. The moment it opened, he jumped in, and it closed behind him.

Somewhere far away, a young lady with silver hair and golden eyes froze in her tracks, a look of shock painting her face.

"You bastard, let go of my little sister!" Elina screamed, reaching for the little loli she had been taking care of for the past 14 years inside the Abyss Slave Mine.
