Conquering Mars

"Big Guy, these days are so boring."

"How about we go out for a walk?"

"What are you researching this time?"

"I miss Big Corn Cob and the old man so much. You never keep me company."

".."

The Emperor habitually ignored the chatterbox Raven.

He focused on his own experiments.

Principal Gillan acted as his assistant nearby, occasionally discussing related matters with the Emperor.

Outside, the flames of war still burned.

Dukao and the other military leaders began a massive selection process within the Huaxia army.

They searched for suitable soldiers, implanted compatible Gene Engines, and prepared to cultivate native super-soldiers on a large scale.

Xiong Bing Lian continued clashing with civilizations such as the demons and Taotie, preventing them from further invading Earth.

However, faced with the Taotie Civilization's immense numbers and the demons' cunning, most regions of Earth still fell into chaos.

Large numbers of refugees poured into Huaxia territory. Combined with the rampant spread of demonic faith, the military was putting out fires everywhere and was overwhelmed.

Morgana took the opportunity to carry out the plan she and Carl had formulated long ago.

She first ordered the Nightmare under her command to guide and torment Cheng Yaowen and Lena through dreams.

The two became bitter enemies, physically and mentally exhausted, at times unable to distinguish reality from dreams.

When Lena's mental state had reached extreme exhaustion, she launched a series of operations against Xiong Bing Lian.

She used computational power and wormhole technology far beyond Earth's to divide the members of Xiong Bing Lian.

She used various methods to weaken Lena's defenses and drain her energy.

Once the critical point was reached, she had her subordinates infiltrate Lena's system, unlock her genetic code, and take control of Sun's Light.

"Fuck, it finally worked."

Morgana smiled, but quickly wiped the smile away.

"Execute the plan quickly. Once that guy catches on, we're all dead."

"Open Sun's Light's control panel."

The demon beside her nodded.

Sun's Light's interface appeared.

"Radiation-free miniature flare, miniature flare bombardment, encrypted medium flare bombardment, encrypted large flare bombardment, encrypted supernova, encrypted solar incarnation."

"Fuck, what kind of monster did that hypocrite Gillan create?"

"She's a mobile stellar energy body, a cataclysmic disaster."

"Crack the code, contact Carl. I'll go find Keisha. You find that Emperor and lock onto his location."

"Throw those two sons of bitches onto Emerald Star together and blow them the fuck up."

The Emperor was conducting an experiment.

Suddenly, the space around him twisted.

When it returned to normal, everything around him had changed.

He appeared in the vast, boundless void.

Not far away was a green star on the verge of erupting.

Once it erupted, it would surely consume everything nearby.

Beside him stood Keisha, the Angel King he had met once before.

"Oh-ho, Big Guy, someone pulled a dirty trick on you. Looks like you've made people wary of you."

"Life has finally become interesting."

Perched on the Emperor's shoulder, Raven flapped his wings and shouted excitedly.

Keisha casually sat on a meteorite. She looked at Emerald Star, which was about to erupt in the distance, then looked at the Emperor.

"I didn't expect Carl and Morgana to target you as well."

"For the sake of ushering in this so-called Void Age, they'll stop at nothing."

The Emperor said nothing as he surveyed his surroundings.

He was puzzled about how he had arrived here.

Keisha saw what he was thinking and smiled. "Rather than speculate blindly, why not ask the person responsible? Carl, won't you come out and explain?"

"Please forgive me for meeting the two of you in such a manner."

A communication projection appeared before the Emperor and Keisha.

It was Death God Karl, the mastermind behind all this.

"Tell us, how did you bring us here?" Keisha glanced at the silent Emperor before asking Carl.

Carl smiled.

He did not mind answering the question.

"In your eyes, space-time is a stable structure. But from the perspective of the void, space-time is chaotic and disorderly."

"You adjust wormholes to travel from one end of the universe to the other. My approach is the exact opposite. I used the Great Clock's computational power to alter the relative positions of the universe and yourselves, sending you here."

"What an interesting theory." The Emperor stroked his chin.

Carl looked at the Emperor. "I have observed you for a long time. Like me, you possess an almost obsessive pursuit of knowledge. If we were not enemies, perhaps we could have become good friends."

"Unfortunately, we are enemies, and I will never allow anyone to prevent the Void Age from arriving."

"As for humanity, it has already transformed with your help. Perhaps it can survive the cruel competition of the future."

"Your plan was thorough." The Emperor looked at Carl. "Unfortunately, you overlooked a few things."

Carl revealed a puzzled expression.

"Did I overlook anything? The Great Clock has already sealed this space. No one can use wormholes to leave. For you, this is certain death."

The Emperor extended one hand, Psionic Power dancing across his palm.

"You are powerful enough to rival the strongest lifeforms of the real universe that I know of—the C'tan."

"Unfortunately, like them, you possess a fatal weakness. Every plan you make is aimed at the real universe."

"The greatest flaw in your plan lies in the void you have always longed to study."

"The void was never part of your plan. Besides, your Great Clock cannot seal the void."

The Emperor pushed his hand toward Keisha, and a psionic portal appeared out of thin air.

Before Keisha could speak, she was teleported away.

Carl watched the scene, then turned toward the Emperor.

"It seems my guess was correct. To disregard the laws of the real universe so completely, you must be a void creature—or perhaps a surviving Shenhe being who has mastered the void, or even a creature from an older civilization."

The Emperor did not answer. Instead, he changed the subject.

"You are determined to bring this universe into the Void Age. How much do you know about those beings who periodically purge the civilizations of the known universe?"

"In the eyes of those hungry things, no matter what you do, you will never become their ally. Your schemes are destined to come to nothing."

Carl looked at the Emperor. "If I cannot become their ally, then I will control them. I will become the sole supreme god of the Void Age and control everything."

The Emperor said, "Your arrogance is somewhat like mine. Stop while you can. There is nothing wrong with exploring the unknown, but some things should not be understood."

Carl looked toward the erupting star as a terrifying tide of destruction came crashing in.

He knew his plan had failed.

But the arrival of the Void Age was inevitable. No one could stop it.

"Then let us see who is right."

After leaving those words behind, Carl stopped wasting breath and cut off the communication directly.

Only the Emperor remained in the vast, boundless void.

Destiny Node changed by 30%. Reward obtained: Great Clock Celestial Computer technology, Void Engine technology, Sub-biological analysis data.

Keisha had not died, and the predetermined fate of the Super God Universe had completely deviated.

In the time to come, even if the Emperor did nothing.

Fate, now out of control, would build up momentum and race toward the unknown.

The Emperor looked at the exploding supernova and spoke to Raven.

"We've stayed here long enough. Let's go back first."

Naturally, Raven had no reason to refuse. He transformed into a tunnel through the heavens and time.

Before the supernova's shockwave arrived, he sent the Emperor back to the original universe.

He did not return with him, instead heading back to the Misty Space first.

At that moment, a small change had appeared within the deathly silent Misty Space.

A sphere of light radiating faint halos floated above the Misty Space. Threads of light as thin as hair descended from it and disappeared into the mist.

Raven extended his consciousness into it and read all kinds of information about the Super God Universe.

This was the imprint gained from changing the universe's predetermined fate.

Once the Destiny Node's change exceeded 30%, it represented the collapse of predetermined fate.

From then on, the Super God Universe's fate would head into the unknown, and Raven would continuously receive gifts from this change.

Raven could sense that the Misty Space had undergone some changes, though they were not obvious.

It likely still needed more universes to provide the power of origin before any significant changes could be seen.

"Still gotta keep working like a slave."

After grumbling, Raven entered the real universe.

The Emperor, who had returned early, was having Malcador gather the troops and prepare to conquer Mars, officially beginning the Great Crusade.

After witnessing the vastness of All Universes, the Emperor had become more anxious than before.

He would unite humanity's strength as quickly as possible, conquer the galaxy, establish the Webway, and then conquer the universe.
