Traitors, You Have Already Chosen Your Path to Death

The power of the origin surged into the Emperor's body.

This caused some changes to his physique, making him tall and divine.

The psychic energy that was originally suppressed also showed a slight tremor, allowing him to use some psychic abilities.

The Emperor closed his eyes, diligently digesting the knowledge flooding his mind.

Quantum Sensing Array Communication Technology, Sophon multi-dimensional unfolding manufacturing technology, and Thought Imprint were all technological routes that humanity in the Golden Age had not even conceived of.

If utilized well, it would greatly benefit the Imperium.

Terra's management efficiency across the Imperium's various regions would be significantly improved, reducing much unnecessary communication and ruling costs.

"If enough Quantum Sensing Array Communication Towers can be built within the Imperium, the Imperium's reliance on Starwhisperers will be greatly reduced."

"Thought Imprint is low-cost and reliable; it only requires machines and no extra expenses."

"If the army were equipped with it, the problem of morale collapse when facing those strange demons and monsters would be solved."

After digesting the technology and knowledge he had obtained, the Emperor continued to push for unification.

The situation on Earth was characterized by two superpowers and many weaker nations.

The United Federation was one of the two superpowers.

The other superpower was the Eastern Great Power.

The Eastern Great Power's situation was slightly better than that of the United Federation.

They also had a severe food shortage problem, but they had not yet degenerated to the point of cannibalism.

After careful consideration, the Emperor decided to negotiate with them.

He hoped to persuade them to join the Human Empire through peaceful means.

At the Emperor's warm invitation, the leader of the Eastern Great Power flew in for a visit.

The two sides held peace talks.

"Establishing a new era where everyone is equal is the common aspiration of every ambitious person, and that includes me."

"The Eastern Great Power's commitment to its people is evident for all to see, and that is why I wish to persuade you to join through peaceful means."

"You still have a sense of responsibility towards your people and all of humanity."

"As long as you are willing to join the Human Empire, you will not only receive technological support, but I also promise to resolve the Sophon issue within a certain period."

"If I fail to do so, you can leave the Human Empire at any time and maintain your independent status."

"The Imperium is merely a means, not the ultimate goal. When confronting the Three-Body civilization, centralization is the best method."

"When humanity wins the war against the Three-Body civilization, democracy, freedom, and human rights will be returned to the people."

Facing the leader of the Eastern Great Power, the Emperor displayed immense charisma and knowledge.

The leader of the Eastern Great Power weighed the pros and cons and proposed several demands.

First: The Imperium must prioritize the interests of the people under all circumstances.

Second: Once the war against alien civilizations is over, the autocratic rule will end.

Third: The people of the Imperium have the right to resist tyranny.

The Emperor agreed to all these conditions, ultimately persuading the Eastern Great Power to peacefully join the Human Empire.

The two major superpowers were formed into a new Imperium, and the remaining countries, even if they did not support the Imperium's unification, could do nothing.

In terms of population, technological level, and productivity, the combined strength of the two superpowers far exceeded that of the remaining one hundred and ninety-eight countries.

Some of these countries, seeing the situation clearly, chose to join proactively.

The fools who resisted were eliminated by the Imperium.

Thus, the more than two hundred countries on Earth perished.

The Human Empire was officially established, declaring Earth's unification.

"Humanity's technology is blocked by Sophons, leaving our entire civilization constantly under the enemy's scrutiny. This is the first battle we must fight."

The Emperor altered 5% of the fate nodes and obtained the relevant technology for building Sophons.

Combining this with knowledge from the Super God Universe and the Golden Age's technology, he quickly devised a solution.

"We must build Ion Barriers across the globe to disrupt Sophon communications, rendering the Three-Body civilization blind."

Through ion shields, free-floating, non-nuclear protons in the air would be adsorbed.

The Three-Body civilization controlled protons by unfolding them into multiple dimensions and etching circuits within them.

However, there were still some physical laws they could not violate.

Sophons were small in mass, making it difficult for them to cause significant harm, nor did they possess the strength to counteract the attractive forces between fundamental particles.

Once within the range of the ion shield, they would be captured by atomic nuclei lacking protons, and their quantum communication would be severed.

In this way, the Three-Body civilization would completely lose its Sophons on Earth.

Under the Emperor's command, the construction of Ion Barrier launch towers began in various locations.

Once completed, it will activate the Ion Barrier, creating a Sophon blind spot.

The Earth Internet's underlying labyrinth – the Three-Body virtual world.

ETO members gathered here.

The ETO member codenamed Qin Shi Huang trembled with rage.

They had intended to have the Emperor incite a civil war and weaken humanity.

Who could have imagined their opponent's methods would be so terrifying?

Humanity not only avoided internal conflict but was unified by him.

This was simply absurd, a blasphemy against human democracy and freedom.

Establishing the Human Empire was one thing, but now they were building a shield.

The intention was to sever the Sophons' quantum communication, rendering their masters blind.

"That damned bastard," Qin Shi Huang cursed.

Confucius said, "Anger is useless. We must find a way to stop them. We absolutely cannot let them succeed."

"How do we stop them?" someone asked.

"At this point, there are no other options. We can only ask the Master to grant us the technology. If they succeed, the Master will lose control of Earth."

Von Neumann voiced his opinion.

As the first successful Wallfacer, he held a high position within the ETO and had the qualifications to communicate with the Three-Body civilization.

His proposal was immediately met with widespread agreement from many members.

Qin Shi Huang stood frozen, as if disconnected, before moving again after a moment.

"I have inquired, and the Master has not refused."

A wave of excited commotion swept through the crowd.

"With the Master's help, we will surely be able to stop them."

"Destroy human tyranny, the world belongs to the Three-Body."

"This mission is paramount." Qin Shi Huang struck the rock beneath his feet with his long sword. "This mission is more important than assassinating Luo Ji. We must stop the Human Empire, and even more so, we must stop that tyrant."

"If we succeed, our organization's standing in the Master's eyes will greatly increase! This gathering includes elites from every field in the world. Everyone go back and think carefully about how to cause the greatest disruption to the Human Empire within your respective domains."

"Gather the proposed solutions through other channels and send them to me. We need to expedite this matter."

Three suns rose. All ETO members were burned to ash, concluding the meeting.

A villa located in the suburbs of the city.

All windows were fitted with bulletproof glass.

Thick steel plates were embedded within the walls.

The villa also possessed a completely independent air purification and water recycling system.

This was no ordinary villa, but one that could function as a fortress.

Inside the villa, a man removed his virtual helmet, revealing a grave expression.

He was the ETO member codenamed Qin Shi Huang.

"How should we deal with the Human Empire?"

The man paced back and forth within the villa, deep in thought.

Thump!

Thump!

A knock sounded at the door.

"Who is it?" the man asked cautiously.

"You called for a plumbing inspection," a voice replied from outside the door.

The man cautiously checked the situation outside through the surveillance video.

There was no one around the villa, only a man in a worker's uniform standing at the entrance.

Confirming there were no issues, he deactivated the security measures and opened the door.

Just as he unlocked the final deadbolt, with a loud bang, the door was forcefully kicked open.

The man behind the door was sent flying, crashing into the wall.

He didn't know how many bones were broken, and in agony, he collapsed on the ground, moaning and unable to move.

Next to the repairman, the air rippled, and a strong man hidden within the air emerged.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Waldo, and I am the commander of the Imperium's Adeptus Custodes. My mission is to hunt down vermin like you."

"Heh heh, traitor, you have sealed your own doom."

The Raven, who had accompanied Waldo, uttered a classic line in a familiar, chilling laugh.
