"Regrettably, yes," Rayanor replied. "Zelthrax's powers are not only destructive but also unpredictable. She can create rifts in reality, summoning forces that are beyond our control or understanding. Each encounter with her could be a potential catastrophe."

Aldred leaned forward, his hands clasped. "Then we must strategize carefully. We cannot rush into this blindly. We need a plan that minimizes our losses while maximizing our chances of success."

Rayanor nodded in agreement. "Indeed. We must also explore unconventional methods. Traditional warfare will not suffice against a being like Zelthrax. We need to delve into research, perhaps even forbidden knowledge, to stand a chance."

Aldred's eyes flickered with a determined flame. "Then we shall embark on this path. No stone will be left unturned in our pursuit for a solution. We will gather our best minds, our most powerful magicians, and our most advanced technology. Your guidance will be crucial in this endeavor, Rayanor."

"I will assist in any way I can. My only goal is to see the end of Zelthrax's reign of terror. First, let me tell you about some of her weakness."

Rayanor raised one finger. "Even though she has the power to manipulate the fabric of reality, she actually cannot use teleportation abilities so easily. Her power is simply too strong even for her. If she isn't careful, she will be ripped apart by her own strength."

"What's the parameter for this?"

"Right after she attacked, the power within her will be in turnmoil and almost uncontrolable. This is the window when she cannot move, however, her attack would be a lot more devastating and this intensify after each attack."

Aldred nodded. "After she attacked, Zelthrax did not move from her spot or chase my forces."

"Second. She is actually extremely fragile. Even an ordinary bullet can kill her. However, she can manipulate space around her to create a defensive field. That's the tricky part."

"Tell me about your encounter."

"I have encountered her for about six times. Half of those times I almost got her killed, but she had too many guards and I only got myself."

"You try to assassinate her alone?" Aldred frowned. This man was too crazy.

Rayanor nodded solemnly. "Yes, I acted alone. Each time I got close, her defenses or her minions foiled my plans. It's a testament to her strength and cunning."

"How are you not dead?"

"Zelthrax power actually isn't as devastating in close range and it's easier to dodge. However, the longer the range, the more destructive her attack becomes. I believe this is a safety mechanism to prevent her power from destroying her. So the closer you are to her, the safer you are."

Aldred processed Rayanor's words, his mind racing with strategic implications. "So, the key to defeating Zelthrax lies in close-quarters engagement. We need to bypass her ranged devastation and strike when she's vulnerable."

Rayanor nodded. "Correct. But reaching her will be a monumental task. She's well-guarded, and her spatial manipulation makes direct assault nearly impossible. Your approach needs to be stealthy and precise."

Aldred leaned against the command console, deep in thought. "Stealth and precision," he repeated. "We'll need a specialized team. Soldiers who can move undetected and strike with lethal accuracy. Shinari and her shadows might be our best bet."

"Agreed," Rayanor said. "But we must also consider Zelthrax's unpredictable nature. We should have contingencies for every possible scenario."

Aldred nodded, a plan forming in his mind. "We'll prepare multiple strike teams, each with a different approach. While Shinari's shadows work on the stealthy infiltration, we'll have other teams ready to exploit any opening Zelthrax might inadvertently provide."

Rayanor's eyes glinted behind his mask. "I'll lead one of the teams. My knowledge of her tactics will be crucial."

"There are a few people on my list that is suitable for this mission. Shinari and Quantum. Both of them have higher chance of eliminating Zelthrax."

"It won't be easy. Not to mention we don't know her current location," Rayanor said.

"I know. We will send people to attack every demon vessels. Sooner or later, Zelthrax will come out on her own."

As billions of Celestial Platoon ships set forth across the galaxy, the scale of their operation was unprecedented. Each vessel, brimming with the latest technology and weaponry, embarked on a singular mission: to hunt down and eliminate the demonic vessels that lurked in the depths of space. Under Aldred's directive, the fleet spread out across various regions, forming a massive net to trap their elusive enemies.

The heart of their success lay in Vortimer's advanced radar technology, which had been integrated into the fleet's systems. This potent tool rendered the demons' cloaking mechanisms ineffective, revealing their ships against the backdrop of the cosmos. With this advantage, the Celestial Platoon could execute precise and deadly ambushes, taking the demons by surprise.

Their strategy was simple yet effective. The Platoon's ships, often lying in wait near strategic points like asteroid fields or nebulas, would spring their traps as soon as a demonic vessel was detected. The element of surprise, combined with their superior firepower, allowed them to decimate demon armadas without sustaining significant losses.

This series of victorious engagements boosted the morale of the Celestial Platoon. Stories of their triumphs spread like wildfire across the ranks, fueling their determination to end the demonic threat once and for all.

Meanwhile, back at the command center, Aldred and Rayanor analyzed the reports coming in from various sectors. Despite their victories, there was still no sign of Zelthrax. Aldred knew that it was only a matter of time before she revealed herself, either to counterattack or to protect her dwindling forces.

"We must maintain pressure," Aldred said, his eyes scanning the star map. "Zelthrax will have to respond eventually. We need to be ready when she does."

Rayanor nodded in agreement. "Her pride won't allow her to watch her forces being decimated without intervening. We should prepare for a confrontation."

Shinari, Quantum, Rayanor, Vortimer, and Aldred waited with bated breath.

Suddenly, one of the armada detected an extreme amount of the Celestial Platoon. Stories of their triumphs spread like wildfire across the ranks, fueling their determination to end the
