182 The Underworld

Somewhere a kilometer underneath the capital of the Republic, the Underworld, it is a city across underneath the capital city, a large portion of which runs beneath the latter. Whereas its upper counterpart is thriving and rich, this one is the opposite, becoming almost literally the catch basin of the waste from the city above it where its residents try to survive from scraps spared to them.

Though technically under the governance of the Councilors, the Underworld has virtually been cast aside and left behind. While the Capital prospers, the city is perpetually riddled with crime and so heavily-polluted, its air said to be denser than Piltover's, that those not native to it find the need to wear gas masks when visiting, and people in the surface deem the undercity as highly dangerous.

Among the countless illegal acts within, there was a slave market which held every worker, especially to slave workers either human or demihumans, who were surrendering to the Legionnaires when they stormed the market, threatening them to surrender or die. Most of the human workers died because they resisted and as for both caged slaves and worker slaves easily surrendered because they were afraid of death or they didn't have the energy to fight.

Three figures could be seen walking across the streets, heading for a building that seems more luxurious than the surrounding environment.

This is Finn, the same one Artemis has spared back then.

Looking around the place, Finn let out a scowl. Such a pitiful place, it's no different than the city on the surface. He had seen cities bigger than any in this country. So primitive, so weak, and with heretics.

He walked along the streets accompanied by three Android soldiers, who were in cloak mode. As they came close to the building, they watched as numerous people violently pulled their slaves and tried to get out due to the chaotic war on the surface. Seeing such a thing about slavery in front of his eyes was a crime that anyone would find guilty of immediate execution.

These slavers were selling their men, women and some children. However, not all of them were humans. There was a group of goblins that were being checked and considered to buy. An ogre was following its new owner and even a group of female demihumans were being groped and their bodies revised, it felt like a pleasure cult.

However, his work was not to kill them. Though he really wanted to do it. He needed to have a visit from an old friend before he would order an orbital bombardment over this entire place.

It was while he was merged in his thoughts that something hit him. A man pushed him aside while carrying a pair of slaves chained behind him. "Get out of the way!" This man shouted, A man that could be described as some kind of noble, his clothes were made of fine materials and his fingers filled with rings.

Finn didn't say anything. The men keep walking hurrying his two slaves pulling them with the chains. So full of himself was this man that he would have never seen the sword that pierced his torso.

The blade, surrounded by a crackling crimson energy sliced its way into the man with such ease that it was like cutting through the wind. Even so, the man only noticed until he saw the tip of the blade emerging from his thorax. The blade elevated, cutting his body, it was made slowly, the man feeling the absolute hot blade reaching his brain. The two chained slaves who were following him saw this and ran. The crowd had seen this too. Then Finn looked at the Android Soldiers, only one nod was needed to let them know they understood what their commander wanted.

One of them took out one gun from inside his clothes. He aimed and pulled the trigger at them. The flechette blaster was not heard as hundreds of tiny darts were fired. These pierced their flesh and bones, each dart had a dormant cell that guided multiple projectiles toward the targets designated, however, it was not necessary at this moment. For just a pair of seconds the Android Soldiers fired, only that was needed to take down everyone. Slaves and slavers died that day and nobody would ever know what had killed them.

The other one of the Android Soldiers moved towards an alley. Directly to barrels with trash. There were the last slaves left, shivering for the fear and death that was coming for them. The Android Soldier raised its blade and prepared to strike them. They would die fast; however, there was no mercy in killing them without pain. The Android couldn't think about that. It would kill them fast and with no pain because it was the most efficient way to get the work done. They had to silence all the witnesses to make sure their lord was pleased.

However, death didn't come for the slaves. A hand held the arm of the Android moments before striking. Was Finn, who wanted to take a look. They were girls, twins, and 9 years old. But their bodies were warped. Their faces were full of makeup, their fingernails painted and only some clothes, anyone would know they should be working in some brothel.

"What are your names?" he asked

"..U-Ureirika Rilefurt."

"Kuuderika Rilefurt"

"S-19452, go back to the warship. Take these girls with you, give them food and clean their bodies. Call for a Valkyrie and send a platoon of Legionnaires, we should siege this city in ten minutes."

"Yes sir." The Android Soldier nodded and vanished from thin air.

As time goes by, Finn and his two other Android Soldiers walk in the hallways of the building killing any threats in their way as they went towards the door, Finn knew who it was.

As they burst through the door, they enter an office room to see the boss of the market. He looks fat and ugly as shit and anybody sees the person, he's gonna be the perfect actor for an Ugly bastard film.

"Who are you and what do you want!"

Finn almost forgot, he couldn't see his face because of the helmet, he took off his helmet automatically in a nanotech fashion

"F-Finn? Your back?"

"Of course, Ulrin, I'm back"

"What do you want! You want revenge do you after I fuck your wife and nearly impregnated her?"

"Yeah and no, I'm not here just for revenge, I'm here because my leaders ordered me to"

"What do you want?"

"I want all the illegal products you sell from magical artifacts, divine items, skill, to weapons. And second, yes, I need to kill you for my vengeance"

"What! No! Please, I'll be useful to whatever you work with!"

"Sorry, I'm not hiring an ugly fat bastard to be part of the new world order. So you need to die, take him to the hobgoblin chamber and give him a slow painful death."

Two Legionnaires approach Ulrin and as they drag him outside the office. Ulrin tried to escape but he was dragged by two Legionnaires holding his arms and when they're in the hobgoblins chambers, they tossed him to the pit.

Ulrin landed in the ground, around him are corpses of naked woman, seeing the suffering faces of theirs, Ulrin doesn't give a shit, but then he felt a large snake hit his back, but that's not a snake, he turns around and saw five hobgoblins, fat, naked, one of them ate a woman's arm.

"Oh no no no!"

Ulrin's nightmares was about to came true, he tries to run but it was too late as the hobgoblins restrain him, tear his clothings, rape him, tear his limbs off, eat him, commiting necrophilia and ██████, ████, ██ ,█████.

——————————————————————

In 1341 local time, they finally took control of the Aetlrus Republic, it's only been 7-hours that the invasion began, for just a small period of time of conquering a full superpower nation could make earth's history of war to shame.

Finn put out a disc-like device, he pressed a button and to see a person with human appearance, it is the Supreme Overall himself.

Artemis.

"My lord, we have successfully taken control of the whole Republic."

[Good, proceed to taking control of the Empire next, there could only be one Empire in this world. Anyone who dares against us will be destroyed.]

"Yes sir. And also, I know it sounds not my business but hows between you and the fortress city after revealing your identity, my lord?"

[Well, it is as I expected, they were surprised but my explanation is clear enough to make them understand, or else I will use the microbots that I was about to implant them. So they accept it, except I didn't tell them my real name because I prefer that they call me Erik, which sounds like a pretty good nickname for me. But some people in the city have the opposite feeling but they will be taken care of. To be honest, I did expect that would happen]

"Okay... so initiate phase 3 of the plan?"

[You had the green light] Artemis nodded.
