Several Decades Later, Baator, Capital of the Chthonian Empire Anor Londo, Imperial Palace
44 years have passed since the moment when I, together with Hela and Okhwang, have killed Regalzeva and his two lackeys. During these 19 years, Chthonian Empire has been steadily exploring galaxies in the Earth Plane, mining resources and constructing Voidships and other things, developing the Empire and the entirety of the Baator.
Interestingly, humans were once again going to wage war among themselves. Usually, Pantheons and supernatural factions had some unspoken agreement that they won't be meddling in conflicts of mortals.
But today, it was a bit different.
In past decades I have been negotiating with Amaterasu about our alliance, and after several years we have finally grown to some form of agreement.
In truth, I didn't really care about the Earth, as when the Dimensional Gap is destroyed, it will take with its the majority of the Earth Plane; additionally, it would attract the attention of the powerful existence of the Astral Boundary.
What I wanted was Izanami's Life, more precisely Underworld Command Sequence that was in her ownership. That would cause Shinto to lose their foothold in the Underworld or rather now in the Baator, but that was a small price, as right now, the entirety of the Baator was under the control of the Chthonian Empire.
Amaterasu agreed to my request, but in return, she wanted that we help Japan to not suffer any losses during the war that was coming, as humans would be waging another World War.
In my eyes, they were just playing around, but for them, it was a serious matter...
I have agreed and sent some experienced Executors from the Execution Temple to give some help to Japan, as Shinto was under the watchful eyes of other Pantheons to not meddle in this war, as during past centuries, Japan has been primarily led by Shinto Gods, as they started intervening in matters of mortals.
Shinto Priests had a high say in the politics of humans in Japan and had enormous influence. At the same time, Ancient Clans and Principal Clans that served Shinto were de facto leaders of Japan. At the same time, Emperor was just a figurehead, or rather he just dealt with trivial matters.
Usually, when mortals waged their wars, it was the greatest taboo for supernatural factions to intervene in them. What I ordered could be considered a violation of every tradition that was here for thousands of years in the existence of the Supernatural.
But with my strength and strength of the Chthonian Empire as a whole, I didn't care.
Might makes right.
If you are strong, then you make laws and decide what is right and what is wrong.
Still, my job was only to ensure that Japan reaps benefits from the war, even though I could already predict how things would end from the current course of action, as my spies and agents have infiltrated every human power on Earth and extracted all necessary information.
What was troublesome was that Japan planned to attack China, which was the domain of Okhwang, who was my ally... but after I had explained the situation to him, he just told me that as long as I didn't cause destruction of the entire nation or extinction of its people, he wouldn't care.
Which was logical... why would he care for mortals, but it was instead a question of honor.
Of course, this entire war was a great thing, as many people will die, the more die, the better as we could harvest the enormous amounts of Souls from them to refine those souls into the Divine Crystals.
And Divine Crystals are always of great use for the Devils. Nowadays, there are almost no opponents that would obstruct us in collecting souls, as one of the best constructors who was Hades already, no longer is among the living.
After this war ends, I can then send my people to bring me Izanami so I can extract her part of the Underworld Command Sequence, and afterward, with the entire Command Sequence, I can finally initiate the first part of my grand plan by severing the connection of Underworld with Earth and other planes.
With that, Underworld would recover, and it would grow more powerhouses.

Several Years Later
Everything went as expected.
World War II ended as expected, with Germany being defeated, while Japan was forced back from China back to its territory. After the defeat of its allies, Japan continued waging war against the USA, whom they crippled after a successful attack on Pearl Harbor, which was successfully done only thanks to the intervention of spies from the Execution Temple and Intelligence Department.
Several years later, after Japan secured hegemony over the Pacific Ocean, they were forced to end their war, as it put too much strain on their economy, and after they were forced out from mainland China, while they managed to keep some Islands they captured from other nations, it was not enough.
Most importantly, Amaterasu personally ordered Emperor to end the war, as she decided it was enough of the war and fighting.
Meanwhile, what I have noticed is that the time diversion between Astral Boundary Universe and Shao Universe was constantly changing, jumping from different conversions every year, but I already got info from Mercurius that within the next decades, it will stabilize at 1:1.
Resources from the Douluo Plane proved to be crucial for the fast development of the Chthonian Empire, especially the magical herbs by importing Immortal Herbs and various metals and ores; there were even entire ore veins planted around the Baator as a whole.
I was already preparing for my return to the Douluo Plane after the time rate stabilized at the 1:1 to check up on some things, especially on the development of the Spirit Hall and on Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, as she was still healing and I was curious how she has healed up.
Additionally, I was thinking about inviting her to Longinus Dreizhen Orden.
She would be a good addition; also, it would mean that Bibi Dong would have a permanent helper in her home Universe.
