The core control room of the Demon Wings.

Many demons were busy in nervous tension.

Morgana wore a look of irritation as she paced back and forth inside the control room.

"Have you investigated any information on that guy?"

"No past records." The demon in front of the screen shook his head. "This guy seems to have popped out of thin air."

"Then what abilities does he have?"

"From his current performance, he should be able to control the void and the dark plane, possessing unimaginable sub-biological abilities.

He can casually control various elements, open wormholes, distort the rules of reality, and manipulate other people's perceptions."

"If you put it that way, is this bastard no different from the gods?"

Morgana's expression turned very ugly.

The twin topics of the void and sub-biologicals were important reasons for the split of the Super Academy.

The universe had been born for over thirteen billion years.

Currently, the most technologically advanced and oldest known civilization was the Divine River Civilization, which had existed for less than two hundred thousand years.

Once the Divine River people's technological development reached a certain height, they discovered that all known laws failed.

No matter how hard they tried, they could no longer make new breakthroughs, and it even caused technological regression.

In the end, the Divine River Civilization failed to escape the fate of destruction.

Only a few Divine River individuals like Principal Gillan survived.

They traveled across the universe carrying the Great Clock, the crystal of their civilization.

They established the Super Academy and spread Divine River technology, hoping to unlock this cosmic mystery.

With deeper research, Death God Karl proposed theories such as ultimate fear.

He believed that beyond the scope of the known universe, the void still existed, inhabited by organisms they could not observe.

These creatures were called void creatures or sub-biologicals.

They had been observing the known universe and would harvest those powerful civilizations at the appropriate time.

"Queen, we are also gods." Black Wind, standing to the side, said, "Currently, the third-generation demon bodies have finished research and can be equipped soon. According to the Super Academy's definition, we are gods."

"Damn it, can this be the same!!" Morgana blurted out an oath. "Neither my fourth-generation god body nor the gene engine has that guy's strong void abilities, let alone more advanced sub-biological abilities."

"The gap between gods is even bigger than the gap between gods and dogs."

"Get me in touch with that bastard Karl. I want to ask him what on earth is going on with Earth."

"Alright, Queen." The demon beside her nodded, tapped the screen, and initiated super-space communication.

The communication connected, and Karl's projection appeared before Morgana.

"Karl, you damn bastard, when you let me go to Earth, did you investigate beforehand or not?"

Karl displayed a helpless look.

"A pre-nuclear civilization, what is there to investigate?"

Morgana transmitted the scene of the Emperor and Keisha's conversation over.

"Would a pre-nuclear civilization have an individual like this?"

"Earth has a huge problem!! Karl, you bastard."

"Damn it, Your Majesty didn't do a thing, and got brainwashed by someone without even noticing."

Karl's brows furrowed. "You possess the demon engine and are a fourth-generation god body; how could you be brainwashed by someone and remain completely oblivious?"

Morgana raised her middle finger. "How the hell should I know? Damn it, this matter is too bizarre, and that guy called the Emperor has a huge problem."

A female voice came from Karl's side.

"Are you talking to Morgana?"

"Karl, you have someone over there?"

"Yeah, it's someone Keisha sent to monitor me, called Zhixin or something. They just won't leave me alone."

Zhixin said, "Morgana, wash your neck and wait. Evil will surely be judged."

"Damn it, bitch." Morgana cursed profanely. "Karl, I don't care what method you use, figure out that guy's background."

Before Karl could speak, Morgana cut off the communication.

Ato asked, "Queen, what should our next step be? Should we continue to transform humans and resurrect those sacrificed demons?"

"Slow down for now, and figure out the identity of that Emperor. Right, hide the Demon Wings and stop being a target."

"Send out small squads to test the waters, figure out that guy's abilities, and at the same time, keep your eyes locked on that bitch Keisha's movements."

Juxia.

Several female angels had been dispatched by Keisha to contact the Huaxia Military and fight shoulder-to-shoulder with the Xiong Bing Lian.

Considering the hardline attitude of the Huaxia Military, coupled with the Emperor's deterrence,

using the Grand Trial to take out Morgana in one fell swoop was no longer feasible.

They could only form an alliance with Earth to fight Morgana together.

Destiny Node changed by 10%.

Raven received a prompt from the Misty Space, and a massive amount of origin power poured into his body, giving him a sense of satiation.

Nourished by the origin power, his soul and physique also grew increasingly powerful.

"At this rate, one day I will also become an existence mortals cannot look upon directly."

Raven muttered to himself.

His eyes grew increasingly profound, and what he saw grew increasingly complex.

The flow of time, the entanglement of the threads of destiny, the interval between life and death.

Raven tilted his head and looked at the Big Guy, who was busy conducting genetic experiments.

He was so focused, immersed in knowledge, yearning to find a path of redemption for humanity.

"I wonder what the Big Guy's essence is like."

Curious, Raven activated the authority bestowed by the Misty Space, wanting to see the Emperor's essence.

Unique runes flowed within his eyes, and a mist surged from his pitch-black physique.

Within his unique field of vision, he saw a golden sun.

Bright beyond compare.

The special fate lines formed by time, destiny, and life and death were all burned away.

However, Raven discovered that beneath the golden sun, there was still a black sphere shrouded in lightning, its edges radiating intense light.

It was incomparably smooth, flowing with endless darkness, as if it could swallow the entire universe.

This was His true essence.

The Lord of the End, the Dark King, the end of all things, the conclusion of everything.

When humanity became extinct, the golden sun would be extinguished, and the Dark King representing destruction would descend upon the mortal realm.

Fine, the Big Guy was the Big Guy.

Strong to an absurd degree.

Destiny Node changed by 10%, acquiring relevant technical knowledge of the God-Making Project's Galaxy Power, Nuo Star God of War, and Sun's Light.

The Emperor, who was in the middle of an experiment, saw the prompt floating before him.

Rich origin power poured into his body.

A large amount of technical knowledge regarding the God-Making Project appeared in his mind.

"So powerful, truly a god of the material world."

The Emperor could not conceal the excitement in his heart.

Once he returned, he would prioritize rolling out the Adeptus Custodes version of the gene engine.

By then, who could possibly stop his grand enterprise.

"I didn't expect the Super Academy on Earth to have such a diligent student, soaking in the laboratory all day long."

A voice came, interrupting the Emperor's work.

He looked up and saw Ryze accompanying an elderly man with white hair, a clock mark on his forehead, a height of one meter five, and a slightly chubby appearance.

"Emperor, this is the founder of the Super Academy, Principal Gillan, and also one of the few survivors of the Divine River Civilization." Ryze introduced the old man's identity to the Emperor.

"Principal, very nice to meet you."

The Emperor wore a sincere look; he was genuinely happy.

The founder of the Super Academy, a survivor of the Divine River Civilization—this meant the other party possessed far more knowledge than Ryze.

He had to think carefully about how he could freeload—no, learn that knowledge from the other party.

"Good grief, you fleece one sheep bare, and then another sheep comes along."

"I reckon the Super Academy won't take long before it gets fleeced bare by the Big Guy."

Ryze and Gillan could not hear Raven's inner complaints, otherwise they would surely have to re-evaluate the diligent and studious young man before them.

Principal Gillan looked over the Emperor's laboratory and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I am trying to optimize the basic version of the gene engine so that it can be implanted into the bodies of all ordinary humans, thereby countering demon genes."

Morgana was spreading demon genes everywhere, utilizing humans to reincarnate her former subordinates and cultivate new recruits.

Considering that Earth would join cosmic wars in the future, the Emperor wanted to leave some trump cards for the indigenous humans of this world.

That way, even if he left the Super God Universe, they would still have the power to protect themselves.

The fate of humanity should be decided by humanity, not by so-called gods.

He was born for only three things.

That was to protect humanity.

Protect humanity.

And freaking protect humanity.

Hearing the Emperor's words, Gillan also picked up some materials on the desk and began to examine them.

The more he read those materials, the more solemn Gillan's expression became.

This young man's understanding of the gene engine project had already surpassed many teachers at the Super Academy.

He had originally thought it would be the limit if the other party possessed half the level of his once most proud student, Karl.

Upon actual contact, he found that Karl probably didn't even measure up in front of the other party.

Given time, the other party would surely reach an unprecedented height that everyone looked up to.
