Chapter 34 – Dominion War Council: Uniting the Underground World

Opening: The Council Summons

Inside the deepest floor of the Dominion Sect's Mumbai base—beneath reinforced steel, spirit alloy, and sealing formations—a black chamber began to stir.

Carved with Chaos runes and powered by leyline converters, this room was invisible to all mortal and immortal surveillance. This was the Dominion War Council, a convergence point for every shadow that Rayan now commanded.

"Let the war begin with clarity, and end with submission." – Inscription on the Chamber Door

Rayan, now cloaked in a sleek obsidian robe threaded with crimson Chaos veins, stepped into the center. Yulin followed, coiling his dragon tail as his humanoid form glowed faintly with mythic aura.

The War Council was now active.

The 6 Pillars of Dominion (Real World Divisions)

Rayan raised his hand, and six tall seats lit up. Each was soon occupied by a leader of a new global division of the Dominion Sect:

1. 

The Infiltrator

 – Code-named 

Black Lotus

, leader of the Shadow Agents embedded in high-ranking government and corporate positions.

Female ex-intelligence officer turned soul assassin. Controls 317 covert assets globally.

2. 

The Architect

 – Code-named 

GearMind

, head of the Technomancer Division.

A quadriplegic genius bound to a mechanical AI-cultivation body. Designed all Dominion bases and weapon systems.

3. 

The Cultivator General

 – Code-named 

Rudra

, ex-commander of a banned Himalayan sect.

Controls all martial division training across India. Direct commander of the Black Order.

4. 

The Flame Widow

 – Code-named 

Inferna

, a spirit cultivator from Tamil Nadu who controls spiritual business infiltration.

Manages all wealth operations and demon-sect collapse financing.

5. 

The Hacker Queen

 – 

ZeroTrace

, an ex-child prodigy raised by the dark web.

Integrates Chaos AI with global internet control, social blackmail webs, and misinformation filters.

6. 

The Beast Lord

 – Code-named 

Kael

, a mysterious animal-tamer who controls mutant spirit beasts genetically enhanced for war.

Each bowed to Rayan.

"Shadow Emperor," they said as one.

The Agenda: Total World Realignment

Rayan waved his hand, projecting a spinning holographic globe with glowing energy dots.

Red Zones – Demon-Occupied

Gold Zones – Hidden Cultivation Power Zones

Blue Zones – Dominion Influence

He outlined the Dominion World Plan in four phases:

🔸 Phase 1 – 

Dismantle

Destroy Verma Syndicate & similar criminal cults Collapse demon-aligned governments Hijack control of major AI, communication, and surveillance systems

🔸 Phase 2 – 

Infiltrate

Replace corrupt officials with Dominion sleeper agents Create media narratives to shape the future Control cultivation resource chains

🔸 Phase 3 – 

Awaken

Publicly reveal demons with staged leaks Trigger human panic to call for new leadership Offer Dominion as the solution

🔸 Phase 4 – 

Unite

Create a New Earth Cultivation Order Introduce the real-world Chaos Sect as the world's protective force Declare Rayan as Earth's Grand Sovereign Guardian

The six Pillars nodded with fierce loyalty.

GearMind whispered, "The world will never know peace until it kneels."

Recruitment Surge: Dominion's Global Army

Using nano-drones enhanced with both spiritual and quantum scanning arrays, the Dominion Sect now:

Recruited from Africa's underground beast fighters. Subverted South American cartels through weapon tech exchange. Hacked into North Korea's spiritual bunker programs. Reached Southeast Asia's hidden mountain temples.

By the end of the meeting, Dominion's true power had grown:

Active Operatives: 12,791

Military-Grade Cultivators: 3,200

Spirit Weapon Tech Units: 711

AI-Controlled Bases: 37 (India: 6 / Abroad: 31)

Dark Alliance Proposal: The Underground Responds

Using encoded spiritual frequencies, Rayan called for a Council of the Forgotten—a meeting of the most powerful underground sects, criminal orders, and forbidden families still operating across the globe.

Despite deep mistrust, curiosity drew them in.

In a secret virtual reality realm forged by the Chaos Core, 21 leaders appeared in shadow-avatars:

The Ravana Kin from Sri Lanka (soul burners). The Dragon-Blood Thieves from China. The Neon Necromancers from Japan. The Bone Knife Circle from Africa. The Silk Serpents from Europe's elite.

Rayan didn't request submission.

He offered power, sanctuary, and revenge.

In return, they would:

Declare loyalty to the Dominion Banner Stop all demon transactions Hand over forbidden technology for Dominion integration

One by one, they agreed.

New Systems Unlocked by Chaos Core

With these new allies, the Chaos AI unlocked three high-level systems from the Chaos Ring:

1. 

Dark Genesis Engine

Converts spirit beast blood and demon cores into permanent enhancements for human cultivators.

2. 

Heaven-Forge Protocol

Crafts Divine Weapons and AI-integrated spiritual armor capable of evolving with the user's cultivation.

3. 

Truthweb Nexus

Spreads targeted illusions through all global networks. Capable of rewriting public memory, faking deaths, creating alternate historical events.

Rayan stood still.

"We won't wait for the apocalypse.

We'll cause it… and survive it as rulers."

Meanwhile: Chaos Investigators Close In

At the Kalbadevi VR café, Arya Kapoor and Asha Rani made a breakthrough.

Using a divine-grade tracking array from Arya's sect, they were able to isolate a soul frequency fragment from the login terminal—an echo signature.

It matched the spiritual aura Rayan released inside the game during their fight with the Ice Cave Behemoth.

Arya narrowed her eyes. "Zero… is real."

Asha touched the faint lingering aura, heart pounding.

"I knew it was him… he never felt like a normal player."

Arya looked over. "If we track him… what will you do?"

Asha closed her eyes. "I won't stop him. I'll join him."

The World Reacts: Dominion Rumors Explode

The public had no idea who Zero truly was.

But whispers spread:

"He took down the Verma Syndicate." "He controls thousands of hackers." "He might be a demon slayer." "He's building a cult."

Memes. News leaks. Urban legends.

A new term flooded the dark web:

"Dominion Ghost"

Bounty hunters scrambled.

Governments panicked.

Corporations offered private armies for defense contracts.

But Chaos Core was always one step ahead.

Final Scene: The Next Target

Back inside Dominion HQ, Rayan's map pulsed.

[New Objective: The Bhopal Breach]

Demon Classification: Sleeping King – Abyss Tier

Underground Cult: Serpent Lotus Sect

Human Collaborators: 48+

Operation: Eradication + Seal Reinforcement

Rayan turned to Rudra.

"Assemble the Black Order. Deploy AI drones. Inform the Flame Widow to prepare mass burn protocols."

Yulin unfurled his wings, grinning. "Shall I eat the demon's heart?"

Rayan's eyes burned.

"No. This time… let's awaken it first."
