After the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction occupied the Darkness Vortex, Locke stayed there only briefly.
The Mechanical Civilization had already finished fortifying the Bridgehead.
The death nether tide created by Dark Nether Death God had also proved incapable of truly stopping the Destruction Divine Kingdom's main legions.
Locke immediately led his most elite Destruction Legion across the star regions covered by the death nether tide and pushed deeper into Dark Universe Time-Space!
Sword Demon appeared at the very forefront of the Expeditionary Army.
He had originally been a native of Dark Universe Time-Space, and his knowledge of this Higher Dimensional Plane was second only to that of a handful of envoys under Dark Nether Death God.
Which star regions held rich deposits of death minerals.
Which native civilizations had long supplied Dark Nether Death God with legions.
And which rule passages could bypass the dangerous regions laid out by the Dark Universe Envoys.
Sword Demon could offer exceptionally clear judgments on all of them.
The Celestial Star Nether Scorpion couple and their kin also played an important role in this process.
Although their former range could not compare with Sword Demon's, they were more familiar with the lower- and middle-tier civilizations and remote star regions of Dark Universe Time-Space.
Deep within some seemingly barren death Star Sectors lay soul crystal mineral veins of astonishing value.
Meanwhile, some outwardly powerful Dark Universe civilizations had already lost nearly all the high-level combat forces they could actually mobilize during the Light Universe Time-Space War.
This intelligence allowed the Destruction Divine Kingdom to avoid many worthless head-on clashes.
Rather than advancing slowly along the main routes beyond the death nether tide, the Expeditionary Army was divided by Locke into several forces that struck directly at the richest interior star regions of Dark Universe Time-Space.
