Chapter 526: with translation of chapter title

Okay.

The White Empress immediately agreed and set to work on what she was best at.

At this moment, the Red Empress also silently nodded, agreeing with their boss's idea, but her pupils suddenly flashed a faint red light, as if she were undergoing some major event.

As for the unity and cohesion of all humanity, and to continue developing toward a more powerful existence, Sui Bian, who had become emperor, had already considered sending his sons to the multiverse in batches.

Because in recent years the alien space has superficially coexisted peacefully with their main universe, 'harmoniously,' and even ceased its corrupting and eroding actions toward star systems and civilizations beyond the galaxy of the main universe.

It was as if they had backed down before him.

However, Sui Bian knew well that those dealers each had the nature of 'unable to sit still' and 'liking to cause trouble'; things being too normal and smooth must hide something.

Moreover, he sensed that the multiverses untouched by the Human Empire seemed to be suffering a massive invasion and harvesting by Chaos, with countless cries of life echoing in the sea of souls.

More importantly, the humans living in the multiverse face threats not only from alien-space Chaos, but also from increasingly frequent activities of abnormal beings and phenomena.

Bless all of humanity…

The Zero Three Emperor had passed this notion down to him; if Sui Bian wanted to ignore the multiverse's wails, the deep-seated pity and concern for his compatriots, along with self-reproach, would keep him awake all night.

Coincidentally.

Not long ago, Alekseia had just complained to him that prehistoric planets were 'not enough,' and voiced various worries, which sparked his idea to suddenly 'throw' his young sons into some universe, thereby training and cultivating their minds while also helping humans in other universes to persist and overcome fear.

It is worth mentioning that recently many 'transmigrants' have mistakenly entered—no, should say they have barged into the Zero Three, Zero Five, Zero Seven, or the main universe.

Furthermore, these 'transmigrants' are each exceptionally talented, or possess good weaponry, or have physical qualities on par with super soldiers, and they seem to need to fulfill some specific 'order'… 'mission,' with clear objectives, and they also understand part of the worldview and background of certain universes.

However, saying they are 'exceptionally talented' or 'well-armed' is merely in comparison to the ordinary populace and constables of the Human Empire.

Almost all 'transmigrants' are wiped out by the Imperial Army and the Kriegers as soon as they arrive; some less fortunate squads even run into legion detachments tasked with purging various xenos and bug swarms…

In short, the outcome is rather grim.

When Sui Bian learned this information from the Red and White Empresses, his first impression reminded him of the 'infinite flow' works he had seen in his past life; rather than calling them transmigrants, they are more aptly described as reincarnators.

But the so-called 'Lord God'…

If it truly were 'dragging people in,' Sui Bian should be able to sense it easily.

However, as the Plague Doctor dissected the corpses of reincarnators and analyzed a few living samples, he found that some reincarnators whose physical quality equaled or surpassed that of super soldiers more or less bore traces of Chaos.

Then the result is obvious: those evil gods in the alien space have again taken up the trade of 'dealers,' disguising themselves as 'Lord Gods' to deceive humans in other universes and drag them into the so-called 'Lord God space.'

Thus, when the evil gods masquerading as Lord Gods issue orders, and the reincarnators attempt to complete them and earn corresponding 'reward points'…

In fact, reincarnators are essentially Chaos worshippers kept in the dark; by completing tasks they please the evil gods, and the weapons and abilities they gain are the 'blessings' and 'benedictions' granted by those gods.

Viewed with this inference, everything can be explained clearly.

Perhaps the evil gods wish to use this method to cultivate and select from countless universes and humans one or many 'warriors' to defeat him, this 'Demon King' or 'Evil Dragon' in the material universe.

Otherwise, it's just the alien space's cadre of dealers.

What they excel at is deception.

No need to think; those reincarnator squads already imagine the Human Empire as a stubborn, feudal, backward, and utterly despotic ruling bloc.

And his Human Emperor must surely be the most 'evil' existence, with the Original Body, the Imperial Guard, and the Astartes as his minions.

Clad in such a 'villain' halo, they are then killed or captured one by one by the Imperial military, and then they encounter doctors like the Plague Doctor, a 'deviant' physician.

Upon careful thought, it seems…

The Human Empire is just like that.

However, this is the absolutely ruthless face the Empire shows to invaders.

For residents holding legitimate identification, the Empire is again an absolutely merciful and compassionate entity.

There's no way around it; extreme external policy is just like this.

Your Majesty.

Just then, the Red Empress, whose pupils continued to emit a faint red light, interrupted Sui Bian's train of thought.

?

'What's the matter?' Sui Bian asked.

'It's Minister Kennedy and Constantine's side.' The Red Empress lowered her voice deliberately to match the gravity of the event, reporting in a deep tone: 'They have successfully located the fire lizard Original Body, Wokan.'

But…

Due to unknown factors and the past, this individual, who ought to have been the most benevolent Original Body in the Zero Three Empire, has in fact long since defected to Chaos, and now leads an indeterminate number of fallen Astartes, ravaging beneath the surface of Sarnath.

'Oh? Wokan has been corrupted?'

Hearing this news, Sui Bian was somewhat surprised and temporarily turned his attention to Sarnath.

However, he detected no trace of Chaos, at most just some disordered spiritual energy.

Receiving such sensory feedback, Sui Bian also gradually withdrew his earlier faint smile.

He would not think the Red Empress was giving a false report, yet his inability to sense what lay beneath Sarnath's surface indicates that those 'dealers' are scheming something again.

'Really, there's never a moment of peace.'

Sui Bian inwardly felt a bit displeased, then straightened his posture; meanwhile, the Red Empress timely projected the battle footage captured by Constantine and others, using the holographic device within her prosthetic body, generating it before him.

Fast-forward playback.

Quick scan.

After the Red Empress dismissed the holographic screen, plus the brief reports uploaded by Constantine, Leon, and the various Imperial Guard and Grey Knights, Sui Bian also came to a rough understanding of what was happening beneath the surface of Sarnath.

To be frank, he knew the alien space would certainly not withdraw willingly from the main universe, and he had considered various possibilities, but he did not employ his own spiritual energy to peer into the future.

Because 'time' is something best not meddled with; the administrator civilization, for the sake of the galaxy's life and death, had to 'pry into heavenly secrets,' and though in the end it fell prey to a layout in alien space, it was also a kind of backlash.

Since Leon's 'grave‑scouting' task force inadvertently discovered Asasutiye, and that being, alive for billions of years, also possesses a cosmic‑level perception distinct from spiritual energy, it indicates that luck is on his side…

More precisely, this may be a chain of reactions triggered by Leon's 'abnormal attribute.'

'Your Majesty, given the individual strength displayed by the fallen Original Body Wokan, as well as the organized Chaos fire lizards, I propose dispatching the Holy Blood Angels, or alternatively the main force of the Space Wild Wolves, to carry out the extermination.'

'…' Upon hearing the Red Empress finish her suggestion, Sui Bian's brows furrowed slightly, and he did not immediately respond.

He slowed down.

Sui Bian then resumed a faint smile, "Send a legion? A legion going over might hit the fragmented beings of the interdimensional space right on target; I know them too well."

"So, Your Majesty means…?"

The two AIs did not know what their master intended.

"Notify all OriginalBody, temporarily set aside current matters, and immediately hold a family meeting," Sui Bian ordered.

"Understood." The White Queen, having received the instruction, immediately relayed Sui Bian's words to each OriginalBody.

Soon.

Above the platform where the Golden Throne stands, numerous tangible blue light specks appeared, quickly coalescing; after bursting into a flash of intense light, giant silhouettes formed before the Golden Throne.

At the forefront stood Robert in a custom work uniform, followed by John in casual ancient Greek attire, then Lai Ang clad in Lion King armor wielding a heavy sword, bare‑chested with slightly damp stubble—clearly having been drinking with Rus…

Among them, the similarly built A'Erfa Ruisi and Ou Mi Jia, surprisingly wore reserve‑type Ceramic Steel Armor Model Three, and their heights were only a little taller than ordinary Astate.

In short, all OriginalBody gathered, but after the White Queen learned of the chaotic event of Sa Nuo Si Qie, the giants' expressions grew solemn; even Rus did not jokingly tease Magnus as "Book Idiot" or Mo Ta Li An as "Stink Can".

Then, the elder brother of all OriginalBody, Robert, was the first to ask, "Father, you gathered us to form a joint task force to deal with the fallen Wokan and fire lizards?"

"…"

As the elder spoke, all OriginalBody turned their gaze to their father; though each remained silent, the light in their eyes revealed their eagerness.

After all, Wokan is a fallen OriginalBody!

That's worth quite a bit of "money".

Back when the expedition into the Zero‑Three Universe began, any OriginalBody that captured a renegade OriginalBody earned its legion the right to apply for six more Olympus Class flagships in the Forge Star Region.

At that time, the Olympus Class was a hot commodity!

Now, Wokan alone could justify a home world with a 200‑kilometre diameter.

"No." Sui Bian shook his head lightly, then rose from the Golden Throne, habitually flicking his cape as he stood, surveyed all his offspring, and smiled faintly:

"Wokan will certainly be dealt with, but eliminating just one fallen OriginalBody and a fallen legion is far insufficient in my view, and the interdimensional space has become overly active lately; it seems the A‑1999 periodic operation has been patterned by the fragments."

?!

Hearing this, the OriginalBody's expressions varied, and Robert continued, "Father, do you mean… forming an expeditionary force?"

"Exactly." Sui Bian did not deny, then raised his left hand, waving it to generate a star map of the Zero‑Three Galaxy before everyone, zooming in on a region, and said:

"The expeditionary force's target naturally won't be the petty Sa Nuo Si Qie, but the Eye of Fear; we shall emulate the former Olympus gods, storming…"

"Hahaha! I've long wanted to beat that androgynous purple thing!" Rus immediately echoed.

Some brothers, such as Angelong and Sui Meng, also voiced agreement.

However, Shengjilesi, whose back bore pure white wings, reminded at this moment, "Father… are you sure you want to dispatch the expeditionary force to plunge into the Eye of Fear, to step into the interdimensional space?"

The original Olympus gods, because of Zeus's action, caused…'

Shengjilesi could not continue.

"Those are their gods, not like us humans," Rus was unbothered, insisting on his father's view, "We have millions of troops (Astate), how many divine selections and great demons can those evil gods muster?"

"That should be noted as well; we must not rashly delve into the interdimensional space, or our newly‑gained advantage will vanish," Shengjilesi still held his stance.

"Hmm, indeed," the more cautious John nodded, agreeing with his tenth brother's ideas.

In an instant, all brothers split into three factions, exchanging viewpoints.

Radicals like Rus and Sui Meng, with Rus constantly stressing "This is Father's idea!", while Shengjilesi and John were steady; Robert and Lai Ang, however, were watching, not immediately stating their stance.

"Alright, everyone calm down a bit."

"…"

When Sui Bian's words fell, the OriginalBody poised to turn their exchanged views into a quarrel fell silent instantly, no longer speaking.

Sui Bian glanced again at this group of sons, stepped forward slowly, then displayed a kindly smile long unseen, and said:

"Rest assured, I haven't swollen to the point of truly eradicating the evil gods; the Eye of Fear is the vague 'border' where the interdimensional space meets the material universe."

The expeditionary force will not venture deeper into the interdimensional space or the Sea of Souls, after all that realm is for the dead, not the living.

Moreover…

At this point, Sui Bian restrained his earlier kind smile, his face solemn, and said, "I will still provide Spiritual Energy protection for the expeditionary force, for you brothers; why fear those who only hide in the dark scheming, never daring to step into reality, the fragments?"

"Father is right," this time Robert, firmly standing on his father's side, said, "Fear does make us vigilant, but it also erodes our courage. Expedition!"

"Expedition!!" and all brothers echoed.

"…"

Sui Bian, with a satisfied expression, nodded.

It seems…

When the OriginalBody overcome all fear and treat the interdimensional space as nothing, humanity can achieve true 'independence and autonomy', whether or not there is…

"…"

At this moment, even the Red Queen and White Queen standing beside the Golden Throne, swayed by the current atmosphere, let their cybernetic faces show a 'kindly smile'.
