This planet is off-limits!\" one spat. \"Fuck off, now, before we rip you apart!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Adrian didn't even look their way. His eyes stayed fixed on the trembling mother at his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Say the word… and I will erase every last one of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman's lips parted soundlessly. She stared at him in disbelief, too broken to even answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One warrior snarled, stepping forward. His hand hovered above Adrian's head, essence condensing into a killing sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian didn't even look. Before the blast could leave his hand, his Source blade flickered into being, thrusting through the warrior's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warrior toppled, lifeless. Adrian rose, kicked the body, sending it crashing at the foot of Darius' throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plaza froze. Even Luna's mother stared, speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An SSS-rank warrior ended in a heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another warrior screamed and charged. Adrian didn't move his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blade swept, and the warrior's head parted cleanly from his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women dragging Luna faltered, fear freezing their hands. Luna stumbled backward, eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the ship above, Aurelia's face hardened. Even Kael sucked in a sharp breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's… slaughtering SSS-ranks like ants.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darius shot to his feet, his voice breaking. \"Kill him! Tear him apart!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of Viridian warriors surged, their steps shaking the plaza. Spells flared across the air, the raw firepower of SSS-rank beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian blinked. His blade stretched into a spear, stabbing through one man and lifting him into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another blink, his weapon became a glaive, severing two arms in a sweep. Another blink, a hammer crushing ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every flash of white-grey left a body dismantled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another blink. An arm flew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A leg severed. Warriors screamed as their bodies were dismantled piece by piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luna herself stared, lips trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darius screamed at all of the Viridian warriors. \"Attack him! All of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of warriors present ran towards him. Some attacking with long-range spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were SSS-rank beings, each one had the power to annihilate the entire planet. But this planet stood still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the people here were primitive. The planet itself was mature enough to handle SSS-rank fights easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luna's mother ran towards Luna to safeguard her. Her bare feet slapped against the dusty ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian looked at the hundreds of warriors and attacks towards him. He did not even flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body blurred, white-grey energy consuming his form until only a silhouette of Source remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luna's eyes widened at his form, her heart pounding. She whispered to her mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mama… the goddess didn't come. Instead… she sent her son for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother's tears froze. She turned from Luna and looked at Adrian's glowing form in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a breath, she believed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure crashed down on everyone. The air itself seemed to thicken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Viridian warriors slowed. Essence flickered from their bodies, cowering, trembling before the white-grey pressure radiating outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drums slipped from hands, rolling across the plaza. Spells guttered, uncast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian's body blurred fully into Source, no longer flesh. A white-grey silhouette, featureless and absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors' advance faltered. Some stumbled to their knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What... what is this pressure? Stellar Stage?\" one gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, from the shadows of the houses, a child stepped out. Barefoot, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bent, grabbed a fallen drum, and struck it with her small hands. Her eyes blazed with defiance as she glared at Darius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another came. Then another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, women poured into the plaza, beating drums, stamping their feet. Making a primal music of rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian stepped forward. His voice boomed across the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Erase.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Absolute Source Order rippled outward like a wave of annihilation. It swept through the plaza, invisible yet undeniable, touching every Viridian warrior present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Viridian warrior flickered, their bodies, their essence, their very existence dissolving into nothingness. The women flanking Darius vanished mid-breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the planet, the Emerald Serpent fleet simply ceased. Dozens of ships blinked out of reality as if they had never been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Darius remained, untouched. His body trembled violently, his essence unraveling like smoke in a hurricane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\" he shrieked, voice cracking with terror. \"Do you know who my father is?! Do you know what you've—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian blinked forward. His Source blade materialized in his grip, thrusting upward through Darius's jaw and piercing clean through his skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed across the dusty stones. Darius's words died in a wet gurgle as his body went limp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plaza stilled. The triumphant drums faltered, one by one, as the villagers stared in stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The music died, leaving only the sound of wind whistling over stone and the soft drip of blood from Adrian's blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-grey silhouette began to crack apart like shattered glass. Each fragment fell away, dissolving before it touched the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian's human form emerged beneath it, shoulders heavy with exhaustion. His breath came steady but labored, the transformation's toll evident in his posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He erased so many SSS-ranks without even properly comprehending galactic concepts. The source form using his source essence was too powerful but it took a heavy toll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, the ships that had gathered as spectators recoiled in horror. Their recording lenses zoomed frantically, capturing every detail of Adrian's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They scanned the galactic databases, finding only a name with no history. Adrian Blackwood. From an unnamed planet in the outer rim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luna's mother crawled forward on trembling hands and knees. She reached Adrian's feet and pressed her forehead to the bloodstained ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you,\" she whispered, voice breaking. \"Thank you for saving my daughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other villagers all dropped to their knees in reverence before the young man who had saved them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian looked down at them, his expression unreadable. He knelt beside Luna's mother and gently lifted her chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stand,\" he said quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman's eyes filled with tears as she struggled to her feet. Around the plaza, the villagers slowly rose, uncertainty mixing with hope on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, the spectator ships began transmitting their recordings across the Galactic Net. Within minutes, the footage would reach every corner of civilized space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A youth. Standing above the corpses of a galactic clan's warriors. Having erased an entire fleet with a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the Net, the first whispers sparked, then erupted into a wildfire of speculation and fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian Blackwood had annihilated the Emerald Serpent Clan's force on their own hunting ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with that single act of defiance, Adrian Blackwood properly stepped into the galaxy.\u003C\u002Fp>",1087,"2026-06-06T15:05:27.002Z",1,"novelbin.me","570e38d841b491681f0d550f409079d7252aa69849b0c2a34670cfc773f9d1a5","emperor-of-the-source-chapter-88","emperor-of-the-source-chapter-102",347,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Femperor-of-the-source-cover.jpg"]
