(Stellaris console command: own, meaning to possess. Use this code command to forcibly acquire ownership and control of a specified ship, planet, megastructure, or other entity.)

92. 【Come make a contract with me and become a magical girl!】

Watching the "Last Evangelist" on the light screen kneeling at the feet of the Calamity Empire's Emperor with a look of reverence,

massive question marks appeared over the heads of all living beings across the universe.

Just a moment ago, these were two monsters who had waged war across the timeline, representing a death struggle between two races,

yet in the blink of an eye, they had ceased hostilities, and the "Last Evangelist" had even inexplicably pledged loyalty to the Calamity Empire's Emperor.

This situation made the living beings across the universe feel as if their brains were about to burn out.

"Is... is it nanobots?!" Sushang couldn't help but ask: "Is it that kind of nanobot that can control people?"

"No, impossible."

Qingque, with a look of horror, watched the scene on the light screen and said:

"What right or ability do nanobots have to control the 'Last Evangelist'?"

"Even if they really could, the 'Last Evangelist' is full of psionic energy and has no material composition at all; nanobots would have nowhere to apply their capabilities."

"Then, then, is it the personality charm of the Calamity Empire's Emperor?" Sushang asked, looking at the light screen in confusion.

"Personality charm is for people with normal brains."

Qingque shook her head, rejecting this idea of Sushang's:

"The 'Last Evangelist' is a deep-seated psychiatric case with tens of thousands of years of medical history, a total lunatic—would personality charm work on Him?"

"Then... some kind of psionic power? Forced brainwashing?" Sushang thought of the final possibility.

"..... The Calamity Empire Emperor's psionic power is indeed strong."

Qingque pinched her chin and said with some hesitation:

"But the 'Last Evangelist' isn't weak either; could He be brainwashed so easily?"

Just as Qingque and the others were feeling puzzled, the scene on the light screen changed as well.

At the highest point of the Void Realm, "Whisper of the Void" looked at the scene before Him, bewildered and helpless,

watching the "Last Evangelist" inexplicably submit to the Calamity Empire's Emperor.

"Whisper of the Void" pointed at the "Last Evangelist," then pointed at Himself, looking completely lost and at a loss.

【"Is this also part of your plan?"】 "World-Eater" asked in a deep voice.

【"....."】

"Whisper of the Void" revealed a twisted, ugly expression, baring His teeth as He looked at the Calamity Empire's Emperor.

【"It is...."】

He forced Himself to say:

【"Of course it is... you know...."】

【"Everything is within my... grand plan."】

【"That useless grand plan of yours."】 "World-Eater" nodded in evaluation.

【".... All failures, they were all intentional."】

"Whisper of the Void" said stubbornly:

【"All for the sake of a more distant grand plan."】

【"..... Then tell me, what did He do."】 "World-Eater" looked toward the Calamity Empire's Emperor and said.

【"... I don't know."】

【"As expected, completely useless."】

Seeing that even the gods of the Void Realm were bewildered in the light screen, not knowing what the Calamity Empire's Emperor had done,

the living beings across the universe were naturally even more confused.

If even the gods of the Void Realm didn't know, it meant this was not some kind of psionic method.

Then, what exactly did the Calamity Empire's Emperor do?

Why was He able to make even the "Last Evangelist" submit to Him?

Does this kind of ability have any limitations?

Where did this ability come from?

"Silver Wolf, why aren't you surprised at all?"

In a stronghold of the Stellaron Hunters, Firefly, inside Sam, looked at Silver Wolf to the side.

Silver Wolf was chewing bubblegum, playing that grand interstellar strategy game.

"Surprised? Surprised by what?" Silver Wolf asked without lifting her head.

"..... I mean, how did the Calamity Empire's Emperor make the 'Last Evangelist' surrender in an instant?"

Firefly pointed at the scene on the light screen and asked, full of curiosity.

She had been startled when she saw this scene just now, but Silver Wolf had glanced at it with an expression of "as expected."

"What's there to be surprised about?"

Silver Wolf blew a bubble, brushed her hair, and said:

"You just don't play enough games. An action mobile game just launched today; should I send it to you to try?"

"This... maybe next time." Firefly hesitated for a moment, then asked: "But what does this have to do with the game?"

"Console cheat codes, obviously!"

Silver Wolf glanced at Sam and said:

"As long as you input a string of code, you can activate the official cheat hack."

"Of course, a big cheat is a small cheat, and a small cheat isn't really cheating."

Silver Wolf wagged her finger at Sam.

"Uh... how do you use cheat codes in reality?" Firefly couldn't quite accept this explanation.

"Because reality is just a game! How many times do I have to say it?"

Silver Wolf said while playing her game.

"Your civilization has been destroyed by player: Zhou Xuan."

"Not again!!!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!!"

Hearing the notification sound on her phone, Silver Wolf let out a sharp, explosive shriek.

Lord Fu Xuan watched this scene on the light screen that exceeded her understanding, feeling cold sweat dripping down.

The Ascensionist faction, which had once been only one step away from ascension, had all been defeated by the "Last Evangelist."

Yet the Calamity Empire's Emperor had merely moved His fingers and input a few inexplicable letters,

and the "Last Evangelist" had surrendered???

This, this was simply too far beyond reason.

Lord Fu Xuan could not understand it at all; her mind was a tangled mess.

A method that was completely incomprehensible, without any intelligence, and could easily make others submit,

even making a near-divine existence submit—

Lord Fu Xuan could not imagine how to confront such an existence.

Perhaps there wasn't even a chance to confront Him before one was already destroyed or inexplicably submitted to Him.

【"Right? You can't imagine how to deal with Him at all, can you?"】

【"A backward civilization, a weak self, incomprehensible abilities, and a sublime Emperor."】

【"No matter how you think about it, it's impossible to confront, right?"】

"Who?!" Lord Fu Xuan stood up abruptly.

A voice echoed in her ears, clear as a child's, beautiful as a gospel.

That voice gently coiled around Lord Fu Xuan's ears, whispering:

【"But if you give up, it can only end here."】

Standing on the ship returning to Penacony, Robin, who was gazing at the starry sky, also heard the voice ringing in her ears.

That voice was gentle, harmonious, and perfect; even the voice of the Mother of the Myriad Stars was not as beautiful as His.

【"But if it were you, perhaps you could rewrite fate."】

"Oh?" Pier Point, the company headquarters,
