The Essence of the Emperor

The control room of the Demon Wings.

Numerous demons were busily working.

Morgana paced back and forth in the control room, her expression annoyed.

"Have you investigated that guy's information?"

"No past information," a demon in front of a screen shook his head. "This guy just appeared out of nowhere."

"Then what are his abilities?"

"Based on his current performance, he should be able to control the Void and the Dark Plane, possessing sub-biological abilities beyond imagination. He can freely control various elements, open wormholes, and distort reality's rules and others' perceptions."

"If you put it that way, this bastard is no different from a god?"

Morgana's expression turned very grim.

The Void and sub-biologicals were the main reasons for the Super Academy's schism.

The universe was born over 13 billion years ago.

The most technologically advanced and ancient known civilization was the Divine River Civilization, which existed for less than 200,000 years.

After reaching a certain level of technological development, the Divine River people discovered that all known laws had failed. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't achieve new breakthroughs; in fact, their technology even regressed. In the end, the Divine River Civilization could not escape the fate of destruction. Only a few Divine River individuals, like Gillan, survived. They traveled the universe with the crystallization of their civilization—the Great Clock. They established the Super Academy, spreading Divine River technology, hoping to unravel this cosmic mystery.

As their research deepened, the Death God Karl proposed theories like the ultimate fear. He believed that beyond the scope of the known universe, the Void still existed, inhabited by beings they could not observe. These beings were called Void creatures or sub-biologicals. They had been observing the known universe and harvesting powerful civilizations at opportune moments.

"Queen, we are also gods," Black Wind said from the side. "The third-generation demon bodies have been researched and completed. They will soon be equipped. According to the Super Academy's definition, we are gods."

"Damn it, is that the same thing?!" Morgana exclaimed. "My fourth-generation divine body and Gene Engine don't have that guy's powerful Void abilities, let alone more advanced sub-biological abilities."

"The gap between gods is greater than the gap between gods and dogs."

"Contact that bastard Karl. I want to ask him what exactly is going on with Earth."

"Understood, Queen." The demon beside her nodded, clicked on the screen, and initiated a hyperspace communication.

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

"Karl, you son of a bitch! You sent me to Earth without investigating beforehand!"

Karl showed a helpless expression. "A pre-nuclear civilization, what's there to investigate?"

Morgana transmitted the scene of the Emperor's conversation with Keisha.

"A pre-nuclear civilization would have such an individual?"

"Earth has a big problem, Karl, you bastard!"

"Damn it, I didn't do anything, and I was brainwashed without even noticing."

Karl's brow furrowed. "You possess the Demon Engine and are a fourth-generation divine body. How could you be brainwashed without knowing anything?"

Morgana raised her middle finger. "How the hell should I know? Damn it, this is too weird. That guy named Emperor is a big problem."

A female voice came from Karl's side. "Are you talking to Morgana?"

"Karl, do you have someone with you?"

"Yes, someone Keisha sent to monitor me, named Zhixin or something."

"These birds are really persistent."

Zhixin said, "Morgana, clean your neck and wait. Evil will be punished."

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

Without waiting for Karl to speak, Morgana cut off the communication.

Ato asked, "Queen, what should we do next? Continue converting humans and resurrecting those sacrificed demons?"

"Hold on for now. Let's figure out Emperor's identity. Oh, and hide the Demon Wings. Don't be a target anymore."

"Send small squads to test him and figure out that guy's abilities. At the same time, keep a close eye on Keisha, that bitch."

Juxia.

Several female angels were dispatched by Keisha to make contact with the Huaxia Military and fight alongside the Xiong Bing Lian.

Considering the Huaxia Military's tough stance, coupled with the Emperor's deterrence.

Using the Great Judgment to eliminate Morgana in one fell swoop was no longer feasible.

They could only form an alliance with Earth to jointly resist Morgana.

[Destiny Node Changed by 10%]

Raven received a prompt from the Misty Space, and a large amount of origin power surged into his body, giving him a sense of fullness.

His soul and body grew increasingly powerful under the nourishment of the origin power.

"If this continues, one day I too will become someone mortals cannot gaze upon directly."

Raven muttered to himself.

His eyes grew deeper, and he saw more complex things.

The flow of time, the entanglement of fate lines, the separation between life and death.

Raven tilted his head and looked at the big guy who was conducting genetic experiments.

He was so focused, immersed in knowledge, eager to find a path to salvation for humanity.

"I wonder what the big guy's true essence is like."

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

Unique runes flowed from his eyes, and his dark body surged with mist.

In his unique vision, he saw a dazzling golden sun.

Immensely bright.

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

However, Raven discovered that beneath the golden sun, there was still a black sphere enveloped in lightning, with its edges emitting strong light.

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

This was His true essence.

The Lord of Endings, the Dark King, the End of All Things, the Conclusion of Everything.

When humanity went extinct, the golden sun would extinguish, and the Dark King, representing destruction, would descend upon the mortal world.

"Well, the big guy is indeed the big guy."

"Incredibly strong."

[Destiny Node Changed by 10%, acquired technical knowledge related to the God-Making Project's Divine River Power, Nuo Star God of War, and Sun's Light]

The Emperor, who was conducting experiments, saw the prompt appear before him.

Rich origin power surged into his body.

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

"So powerful, it can be called a god in the material world."

The Emperor could not hide his excitement.

When he returned, he would prioritize the release of the Adeptus Custodes version of the Gene Engine.

At that time, who would be able to stop his grand undertaking?

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

A voice interrupted the Emperor's work.

He looked up and saw Ryze accompanying an old man with white hair, a clock marking on his forehead, a height of 1.5 meters, and a somewhat 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, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The Emperor showed a sincere expression; he was genuinely pleased.

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

He had to think carefully about how to "freeload," no, how to learn that knowledge from him.

"Good heavens, he's already plucked one sheep bald, and now he's coming for another."

"It's probably only a matter of time before the Super Academy is completely plucked bald by the big guy."

If Ryze and Gillan could hear Raven's complaints, they would definitely re-examine the diligent and studious young man before them.

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

"I'm trying to optimize the basic version of the Gene Engine, allowing it to be implanted in the bodies of all ordinary humans, in order to counter the Demon Gene."

Morgana was spreading the Demon Gene everywhere, using humans to reincarnate her former subordinates and train new soldiers.

Considering Earth's future participation in the cosmic war, the Emperor wanted to leave some trump cards for the native humans of this world.

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

Humanity's destiny should be decided by humans themselves, not by so-called gods.

He was born for only three things.

That is to protect humanity.

Protect humanity.

And to fucking protect humanity.

Hearing the Emperor's words, Principal Gillan picked up some documents from the desk and began to examine them.

The more he read the documents, the more solemn Principal Gillan's expression became.

This young man's understanding of the Gene Engine project already surpassed many teachers at the Super Academy.

He had initially thought that the young man reaching half the level of his most proud student, Karl, would be his limit.

But after actually interacting with him, he realized that Karl would likely not even measure up in front of him.

Given time, this young man would undoubtedly reach an unprecedented height that everyone would look up to.
