Ian began to heal his dilapidated body. His first task was to absorb a large enough Natural Energy. He was suspended cross-legged in Void, like a greedy universe Black Hole.
With the crazy operation of Magic Sage Mode, he spread the field of perception unreservedly, beyond the Shinobi World Planet under his feet, and even spread towards the cold and deep starry sky of the universe. The vast Natural Energy contained in several surrounding planets and even the entire star system was poured into his body continuously, as if summoned by the supreme king.
After the energy reserves in his body reached an outrageous saturation critical point, he immersed himself in the deduction in the next few days, and finally polished the path to "Magic Sage Mode" to a flawless state.
With the completion of his magical power, he finally officially started the long and painful journey of reshaping his physical body. With the blessing of Arcane Sage Mode, his perception and subtle control of energy have reached an ethereal state that is mysterious and mysterious and can only be understood.
Therefore, without much effort, he completely peeled off the Void Energy that was entrenched in the deep meridians like tarsal maggots.
Ian exhaled a long breath of turbid air with a breath of ash, and without hesitation removed all the cold mechanical prostheses on his body. With the injection of huge vitality, dazzling Life Light erupted from the broken arms and legs, bones, blood vessels, Muscles and even skin were growing and reorganizing at a frightening speed that was visible to the naked eye. He clenched his new fists hard, flexed his toes, and felt the long-lost surging power in his body. The corner of his mouth curled up with a smile of satisfaction, "Huh... I feel so comfortable like never before."
God knows what kind of inhuman torture he has experienced in the past few days. The violent Void Energy is always trying to tear and destroy his internal organs from the inside. Although he has suppressed most of the destructive power with the magic power of the abyss and the sea, his body is still in a cruel cycle of "constantly being destroyed and constantly being repaired." The pain of every inch of the cells being torn apart is simply heartbreaking.
If it weren't for his rock-solid terrifying willpower, any ordinary Ninth Tier strong man would have had a mental breakdown and gone completely crazy.
After reshaping his body, Ian did not relax his vigilance. He immediately focused his attention on the strange "unknown will" still dormant deep inside his body. He snorted coldly.
Mobilizing a vaster sea of magic power, and combining it with the greatly inspired knowledge of Uzumaki Clan Sealing Arts that had just been looted from Shinobi World, hundreds of extremely mysterious Arcane Chain Sealing Array were laid down in the depths of the soul and flesh in one go.
When this set of things was smashed down, the sealing effect was simply miraculous. The violent will was locked in a cage that was absolutely impossible to break through.
"The next step is the second step." Ian murmured to himself. While maintaining Magic Sage Mode's detached state, he began to draw out his majestic soul power without reservation, turning it into a gentle source of nourishment to slowly warm and repair the sleeping Sea of Consciousness The Tower Spirit--Morgana. Sage Mode in the depths of brought him not only the destructive power that destroyed the world, but also increased his endurance, physical strength, and various recovery attributes including soul power, all to an incredible level of abnormality.
In this way, after working tirelessly day and night for a whole week of soul power, the long-sleeping holographic House-elf finally slowly opened his eyes.
"Great Emperor... why do you always end up in such a miserable situation of near death for no reason?" As soon as Morgana woke up, helplessness and distress were written on the little humanized virtual face.
"Who knows? Maybe even the laws of the universe are Envy my handsomeness and talent. But to be honest, I have become more and more suspicious recently that the incredible good luck I have always been proud of seems to be almost exhausted." Ian shrugged half-jokingly. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was clear in his heart.
Before each dangerous voyage across dimensions, he would habitually take a dose of top-notch "Felix Felicis" to avoid random disasters in Void. But after experiencing this life-and-death situation, he began to seriously doubt whether this low-dimensional Potions had completely lost its effectiveness for voyages across Omniverse.
"Forget about these disappointing things, how do you feel now? Are there any underlying logical errors?" Ian asked with concern.
"I feel very good. Thank you for your concern. I think my core code is not damaged." Morgana replied obediently.
"That's good. Quickly confirm, can you sense the main flagship Floating City that we lost in Void?" Ian looked solemn.
Morgana heard the words and immediately closed her eyes. The huge data flow was going crazy around her Blink. After a moment, she opened her eyes and replied, "Report to the emperor, I have successfully established a weak connection. Floating City has not been destroyed."
"Thank God, this is a blessing among misfortunes."
"However, its condition is extremely bad." Morgana's tone instantly became extremely solemn, "It can be said to be a ruin."
"Can the core power furnace still operate normally? Can the autopilot protocol be activated and let it fly directly to pick us up?" This is the question that Ian is most concerned about at the moment. If it can save the step of asking for help, that would naturally be the best.
"I'm afraid not. The degree of damage to the city is too exaggerated. Even if I activate the highest level Self repair system immediately, it will take a long and despairing time to barely restore basic navigation capabilities."
"Can you give me an accurate time estimate?"
A waterfall-like data flow flashed through Morgana's eyes again, and then he gave a number that made Ian almost vomit blood. "If calculated according to the standard time calendar of our Empire home planet, it will take about five thousand six hundred and eighty-nine years, six months and twenty-four days!"
Hearing this, Ian couldn't help but groan in pain, and held his forehead with one hand. "Fuck... If you calculate it this way, it means that Floating City's 'Matter-Dimension Engine' has been scrapped." You know, in order to deal with various emergencies, he stocked up a large amount of Divine Grade repair materials in Floating City's backup warehouse in advance. Theoretically, the Self repair should not take so long.
The only explanation is that those materials, along with the spatial dimensions in which they were stored, were destroyed by Annihilation in that horrific attack.
"It's not just the damage on the physical level," Morgana added with a serious face, "We must also face the serious consequences of Void Energy erosion."
"That's true. The chaotic and disorderly passage of time in Void is simply a Limitless nightmare." Ian nodded with deep understanding. In order He took great pains to prevent Floating City from instantly aging into a pile of scrap metal due to the difference in the flow of time the moment he stepped into Void, or from strangely regressing back to the state of parts.
He had to weld dozens of sets of top-notch "Time Regulator" into the underlying structure of the entire city. Looking back, when he had not fully understood Law of Time, when building the first cross-border World Gate, he had to shamelessly ask his mentor, the great Merlin, to apply divine enchantment to these systems.
"It seems that it is unrealistic for it to fly here on its own. We must immediately send a distress signal to the Empire base camp and ask Olivia or Hermione to send a fleet to pick us up." Ian made a helpless decision, "There should be no technical obstacles to this, right?"
"There is a small technical problem." Morgana seemed a little embarrassed.
"Say."
"Suffering from severe cross-dimensional interference, we can currently only send weak frequency band signals. Therefore... I can't accurately calculate how long this distress letter will need to drift in the vast sea of stars before it can be successfully delivered to the local receiving base station of the Empire."
"It doesn't matter. The most important thing we lack now is time. On this primitive planet, we can wait slowly." Ian waved his hand indifferently.
After Morgana took the order, it immediately began to calculate frantically in the background, trying to send signals.
Taking advantage of this gap, Ian put away the carelessness on his face, and his eyes became extremely deep. "By the way, I never bothered to ask you. I fell into a coma at that time. As the only conscious person, did you see clearly? In that boundless Void, what exactly was it that attacked us?"
Mentioning that disaster, Morgana's virtual body trembled violently uncontrollably, and her eyes showed an absolute fear from the depths of her soul. "Emperor... we... we ran into a terrifying behemoth that cannot be described in any known language!"
"The monster entrenched in the depths of Void seemed to have a slight curiosity about our Floating City, which was undergoing a high-dimensional jump. So, it stretched out its fingers and pinched us gently. No... strictly speaking, it didn't even use its fingers, it just... just scratched us lightly with the tip of a nail!"
"Just a nail?!" Ian's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead.
You know, that is the ultimate war fortress that he devoted all his Arcane Empire knowledge to create the ultimate war fortress that represents the Ninth Tier position and even touches the threshold of the Tenth Tier position! Layer by layer, it is enough to withstand super Nova's burst of composite magic shield, countless rune matrices that strengthened the absolute defense of space, actually... can't stop an unknown creature from gently scratching it with a fingernail?! How huge must the monster's body be? How desperate must its life level be?
"This vast Void is indeed a Hell full of great terror. What happened next? Why didn't it swallow us up?" Ian took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
"It stared at Floating City for a second, as if it felt that this thing was not worth cramming into its teeth, or that it lost its freshness in an instant. Then... it just threw Floating City into the depths of Void like throwing away a piece of worthless garbage. And I took advantage of that moment to forcibly activate the emergency teleportation protocol, and threw you to this safe world."
"Listening to what you said, we both were just so lucky." Ian couldn't help but laugh bitterly and shook his head mockingly, "When you teleported me, it must have noticed it, right?"
"Yes, ninety-nine percent of my calculation results show that it is definitely aware of your escape, but... it doesn't bother to pay attention at all."
"Yes, in the eyes of that supreme being who can swallow up the galaxy in one gulp, a transcendent of my level is probably not even a speck of dust. How can I be qualified to serve as its dessert?" Ian sighed. He has always maintained absolute sobriety and has never been blindly arrogant.
He knows that he is still pitifully small in front of the giants who rule Omniverse. What he is proud of has never been his current meager combat power, but his immeasurable Infinity potential! Only by surviving, only by transforming these potentials step by step into absolute force that can crush everything, can he truly stand upright in this universe.
"Great Emperor, you don't have to be so arrogant. With your talent, that monster may not be as unattainable as you think." Morgana looked at the somewhat lonely Ian and quickly comforted him.
"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile." A confident smile hung on Ian's lips again, "Moreover, we must not underestimate the terror of monsters of that level. If my deduction is correct, the stubborn will left in my body is not an attack deliberately left by it at all. That is purely because... it glanced at me casually when it discarded Floating City!"
As a supreme Overlord and Ian whose life levels are constantly changing, they are very aware of the cruelty of this "dimensionality reduction suppression". When the energy level of a high-level life form reaches some mysterious critical point, he only Just an unconscious look is enough to instantly obliterate those low-dimensional creatures! Just like when he was on the verge of death and seriously injured, Tsunade couldn't hurt him even if he tried his best. This is an absolute life-level barrier!
"One day, when I truly ascend to the throne, one look in my eyes will also become the death god for those humble microorganisms." Lin An secretly swore in his heart.
"Great Emperor, you are actually injured?!" Morgana exclaimed.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing to mention. Besides, this setback is a perfect opportunity for me to break out of my cocoon and become a butterfly." Ian responded calmly.
After Morgana successfully transmitted the weak distress signal to the vast sea of stars, the master and servant immediately shifted the focus of their work and began to go all out to speed up the healing of the damage to Ian's physical body. Ian took it upon himself to use the materials in this underground base to assemble a life-sustaining dormant cabin full of cyber magic style. This machine can perfectly isolate external interference and greatly increase the regeneration rate of his cells.
After thoroughly settling the repair work on the main body, Ian took some time out, switched his consciousness to the clone, and strode into the core laboratory dedicated to "Divine Research Collective".
However, when he opened the door, he found that for the first time, these Shinobi World geniuses, who were supposed to be forgetting food and sleep to engage in research, had all stopped what they were doing. Orochimaru, Tsunade, Senju Tobirama and others were standing in a neat row, staring at the huge holographic projection screen on the wall, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
"If you guys don't shine for the Empire in front of the test bench, why are you gathering here to watch the show?" Ian crossed his arms and walked over knowingly.
"What else are you looking at? Of course you are admiring a group of ignorant brats who have not even been weaned off their breasts, carrying out ridiculous death struggles." Orochimaru's pale face was covered with a cruel sneer of schadenfreude, and his long tongue licked his lips disgustingly.
"Shut your poisonous mouth that spits shit, Orochimaru!" Senju Tobirama and Tsunade roared in unison, gritting their teeth. Their eyes that wanted to eat Orochimaru alive were like two sharp knives quenched with poison.
Ian walked to the screen and took a closer look. What was playing on the screen was the live action of the all-out war between the 10,000 Arcane War Golem he summoned and the Shinobi Allied Forces of the Five Great Nations led by Jiraiya!
"Has the war horn officially sounded?" Ian's tone was as calm as if he was asking about the weather this morning.
"If you call this unilateral crushing of Carnage a war, then so be it." Orochimaru added with a sneer.
"Orochimaru, I find that since you saw the dawn of realizing your perverted scientific dreams, you have become more and more... let Self fly." Ian searched hard and finally found a not too unpleasant word to describe this poisonous snake that has completely become Empire's loyal dog.
"That is nature, the supreme emperor. When the door to eternal life and Truth is open to me without reservation, who cares about the life and death of this rotten planet like a quagmire?" Orochimaru made no secret of his morbid fanaticism.
Ian shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to this lunatic anymore, and instead focused on the scene on the battlefield. As Orochimaru said, this was definitely a one-sided battle without any suspense Carnage.
Those steel Golems that are ten meters high are like unshakable war fortresses. The defensive runes carved on their surfaces are perfectly immune to and deflect most Five Elementss' conventional ninjutsu attacks.
What's even more desperate is that they are equipped with optical detection systems and tactical deduction chips developed by the Empire Supreme Research Institute. Whether it is environmental perception or situation judgment, they are far superior to those proud perceptive ninjas!
In the face of the absolute force of this dimensionality reduction attack, the Allied Shinobi Forces defense line headed by Jiraiya was like paper and collapsed at the first touch. The assassination tactics and exquisite coordination they were proud of looked extremely pale and ridiculous in the face of absolute steel and magic power.
Fortunately, Ian issued an absolute death order before the war - only to defeat, not to injure anyone's life. Therefore, although the battlefield was filled with wailing and broken limbs, miraculously there was no report of any death.
"What on earth did that old fool Hiruzen Sarutobi do wrong?! Faced with such a huge disparity that it was impossible to win, why didn't he immediately raise the white flag and surrender! Did he have to give up all the last bits of Konoha's knowledge? Are you willing to fight all the time?!" Senju Tobirama looked at the Konoha younger generation on the screen who were swatted away like flies by Golem, clenching his fists and roaring with splitting eyes.
"I've tried to persuade him a long time ago, but it's a pity that the stubborn old man refused to listen to me." Tsunade closed his eyes in pain, unable to bear to look at that miserable scene again.
"You! Release my restraints immediately and let me go to the front line to fight!" Senju Tobirama turned his head sharply, staring at Ian with his murderous eyes, and ordered loudly.
"Oh?" Ian raised his eyebrows, as if he heard some big joke, "Even if I let you out, how big a splash can you make with your incomplete and filthy body?"
"As long as you allow it, I can use the perfect version of Edo Tensei that I just improved to summon my big brother Senju Hashirama back from Pure Land! If the God of Ninja joins the battle, it will definitely turn the tide. Even these steel monsters will never be able to withstand the suppression of Wood Release!" Senju Tobirama roared confidently.
"It is true that the ignorant are fearless." Ian poured a basin of extremely cold ice water on his head mercilessly, "Please use your proud scientific brain to settle the accounts. Your elder brother Senju Hashirama's normal combat effectiveness is equivalent to Fourth Tier in our Empire evaluation standards.
Even if he activates Sage Mode without reservation, he can barely touch the threshold of Fifth Tier with full calculations! And among the ten thousand war Golem I sent out, the weakest one also has Fifth Tier The lethality of is at its peak! What can you do if you summon him? Can you demolish three or five Golems for fun? Or will you end up like a clown being ruthlessly pressed to the ground and rubbed by the Golem army?"
Hearing this cold and irrefutable comparison of data, Senju Tobirama was like a cock that was strangled by someone's neck instantly, unable to utter a word. Because his super-intelligent head quickly deduced and sadly discovered that what Ian said was an ironclad fact.
"Even so... at least, the arrival of big brother can restore the last bit of pride and dignity as warriors to those ninjas who are struggling in despair!" Senju Tobirama gritted his teeth, and his eyes even turned red from the frustration.
On the screen, the eyes of those ninjas who were crushed by Golem had long lost the sharpness and unyieldingness of the past. Instead, they saw the confusion, emptiness and despair that penetrated their bones when they saw the civilization system they relied on being effortlessly shattered by outsiders. Their faith had collapsed.
"Pride and dignity? That's what I want to crush with my own hands!" Ian's voice suddenly turned cold, and the absolute pressure of the superior came suddenly, making everyone present almost breathless.
"What I want is to crush their will, their pride, and all their illusions about the old Shinobi World system into the quagmire! Only on the ruins of complete despair can I successfully re-establish the supreme banner of faith belonging to the great Arcane Empire in the depths of their souls!"
"You are a complete tyrant! Your methods are too cruel!" Tsunade couldn't help but scolded harshly.
"War is the most cruel machine in the world. Put away your ridiculous womanly kindness!" Ian retorted with a sneer.
"If you insist on talking to me about cruelty, then please ask your great first generation grandpa Hokage first. When he forcibly distributed the Tailed Beasts, which symbolized terror and destruction, to other major ninja villages like dividing pork, was that method so noble? Have you ever thought about how other ninja villages were treated when other ninja villages When the top brass realized that the man named Senju Hashirama could single-handedly capture all Tailed Beasts, and dared to shamelessly send them out as gifts, how desperate and trembling they felt deep in their hearts? Isn't that kind of shadow of fear shrouded by absolute force not cruel?"
Faced with Ian's cunning sophistry, Senju Tobirama opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't even refute a word. Because he knew better than anyone else that only his eldest brother could While Senju Hashirama is still alive, there is absolutely no village or famous name in the world who dares to breathe aloud to Konohagakure! That is truly an absolute shock that has single-handedly suppressed an entire era!
It's just ironic that shortly after the death of that god-like man, the fear and greed that had been suppressed for a long time completely broke out and turned into the first monstrous war that swept through the entire Shinobi World. And he, Senju Tobirama, also tragically died in that war.
