Asura and his companions successfully negotiated with Khana, the Grand Alpha Chaos Wolf, agreeing to avoid the Silver Moon Chaos Wolf Pack's territory. Meanwhile, Queenie's team continued their campaign, with Asha unleashing a terrifying legion of insect warriors, including Pseudo-Primordial-tier fighters, bolstering their strength.

Before the battle started, Asha and Nadia agreed to use only 25% of their powers.

If that agreement was indeed being enforced, then it meant that, in total, Asha actually had 200,000 God-tier insect warriors, 20,000 Supreme-tier insect warriors, 4,000 Celestial-tier insect warriors, and 40 Pseudo-Primordials.

Klaus didn’t even want to think any further than that since he knew that with 40 Pseudo-Primordials following Asha, there was a chance she already had plans to create a Primordial next.

Already, she was as monstrous as they come, and that alone showed just how much danger she posed to anyone standing in her way.

Her legion of insect warriors was like the plague. They surged forward, cutting down one beast after another. The sheer lethality they were pouring into their attacks was just mind-blowing.

But she wasn’t being challenged by Nadia for no reason. The Obsidian String Demon Puppeteer also had a legion behind her, and they were also very dangerous.

Just like Asha, her legion of puppets started from the God tier and ended at the Pseudo-Primordial tier.

She had unleashed 25,000 God-tier demon puppets, 5,000 Supreme-tier, 500 Celestial-tier and 15 Pseudo-Primordial-tier demon puppets. Of course, she had angels in the mix, but the main puppets were all demons.

In terms of numbers, Asha surpassed her by a huge margin, but in terms of quality, she had the upper hand. She brought out 15 Pseudo-Primordials, bringing her total to 60, unlike Asha, who had only 40.

Safe to say she had also outdone herself.

For someone who was branded a weakling and even discarded by her own father for possessing a useless Class, she had now become a force to be reckoned with.

"You know, whenever I see these two, I always ask myself, why do we even strive to grow stronger when we will never reach their level?" Lulu, the strongest soul cultivator in Klaus’s Paragon Harem, remarked, a smile forming on her face.

Queenie and the rest of her sisters all smiled, knowing Asha and Nadia were playing in a different league.

"I am just thankful they are our sisters and not enemies," Lucy said, watching as insects and puppets worked to clear the Chaos Cave for them. "I mean, if you were to face any of them in battle, there is just no way you would be walking away alive."

They nodded.

Asha and Nadia had indeed come a long way, and now they were showing what the past year spent in their respective domains was for.

"The chilling part is, after this battle, they will become stronger," Ohema remarked, sending everyone’s mind to the most shocking and deadliest aspects of Asha and Nadia’s powers.

Asha would get the bodies, and Nadia would get the souls.

The more body parts Asha could harvest, the better for her. She could create more warriors or even upgrade the ones she already had, increasing the quality of her insect legion.

As for Nadia, she could also unlock more demon spirits to possess her puppets and even unlock more upgrade options she only recently discovered. Basically, the more battles they fought, the stronger they became.

"Very ridiculous. Just a year ago, their combined legion wouldn’t have surpassed 200,000. Now, just one of them is already surpassing that and is deadlier than before."

With Asha and Nadia flanking them, they soon came within an acceptable distance from the mountain where the gateway was carved into.

Meanwhile, in the western part of the Chaos Cave, Khana, the Grand Alpha Chaos Wolf, stood atop an elevated platform, looking at the chilling display of slaughter being committed by Queenie and her team.

Standing behind her were seven Pseudo-Primordials...

Just a couple of minutes ago, they were ready to go to war since their home was under attack. However, before they could march into battle, their Alpha spoke with the enemy, and they reached a compromise.

At first, the arrogant ones wanted to protest, saying that with their strength, they could crush the enemy; however, when the Beast Legion appeared, they hesitated. Then Asha and Nadia unleashed their legions, leaving them stunned and in fear.

Now, watching them carve a path through the Chaos Cave, they all could only thank their Alpha for making the wisest choice of settling with the enemy.

"My Lady, you really have saved our skin this time," one of the Pseudo-Primordials said, a thin line of sweat forming on his forehead.

Khana didn’t say anything; rather, she held her gaze on one particular person as if trying to recall who she was. That person, of course, was Queenie, who wore a calm expression, but inwardly she was anxious.

If her plan during the Blood Era had worked, she would have reunited with her family in the coming hour. Her mother, sister, and father had made it safely into the pocket universe. So she knew if nothing had gone sideways, they would be safely reunited with her.

Her friends were also waiting for her, and, more importantly, her Blood Maidens were.

"My Lady, do you know who is leading them? She feels familiar somehow," a second Pseudo-Primordial asked. This one looked more mature and, from his appearance, centuries old.

Khana said nothing for a few minutes, but then her eyes widened, and sweat formed on her forehead.

"It is her, the Blood Queen."

Every last one who heard her words widened their eyes, the majority of them taking shaky steps back. It was clear they recognized the name, and that sent fear through them.

"Are you sure, My Lady?" the same old wolf asked.

"I wasn’t at first. But when I visited that man, he introduced himself as Asura. It took me a moment to recognize him since we all know him as the Blood King. But it is indeed him, and once I established that, her identity just clicked."

She turned and looked at her people... "A very long time ago, a single human arrived here, radiating the power of a demigod. At first, we didn’t pay her much attention, but that was a big mistake.

"That day, our Ancestor died, and so did thousands of our warriors. By the time we got the sense to surrender, she had already killed half of our warriors. We named her the Blood Queen, and for years after, her legend echoed across the borders of this domain."
