Chapter 352: Hundredfold Internal Affairs, Activate!

The crowd before the Black Gold Throne was left bewildered by a single sentence from Xisi.

Even Makado's face showed a brief bewilderment, then, after he caught up, a wordless light laugh.

Makado withdrew his earlier question, stepping back half a step with a hint of lingering smile.

Makado's tacit attitude also made the surrounding Original Bodies and Judges watching nearby have their eyes instantly light up like bulbs.

Kiriman, who had just set down his weapon and was ready to rest, hurriedly turned to fetch his sword.

Only the zealot spreading faith in Xisi, Luo Jia, also for the first time paused the wordless chanting in his mouth; the flames rising on the holy banner in his hand grew even more fierce.

Even the ever‑good‑natured Vor Gan, his dark face calm, prepared to draw his sword, but as soon as his hand touched the hilt, feeling the weapon that could be gripped with a single hand, he pondered briefly, shook his head, turned and lifted with both hands his own massive iron hammer capable of shattering Titans!

And Fanluosi, who had long stopped concerning himself with the details of the Judgment Court and was solely focused on fulfilling Xisi's decree, after a moment's hesitation instinctively raised his Explosive Gun again.

Although there are many contradictions among the Original Bodies, the Empire's various tangled departments also harbor grievances that are hard to untangle.

But if you ask whether the Empire has something that can instantly unite everyone on the same front, the answer is "Indeed it does!".

That matter is Xisi's proposal, tacitly approved by Makado, to carry out a thorough purge against any Imperial insectoids that dare to defy Terra!

Killing insectoids is something even more fascinating than killing alien forms.

Especially in the current situation, those insectoids that wish to rebel can't even find a patron.

Rebel on one's own?

Your planet can't even build a battleship; isn't that a joke?

Turn to an Aspace Evil God for support?

Sorry, in the current galaxy, all evil gods are damn well under the "Empire"!

If that doesn't work, go for alien forms?

The Spirit race is too lazy to care, the Dead Spirits won't intervene, and as for the Titan Lord...

Allying with the Titan Lord is worse than not rebelling!

Moreover, after a rebellion, the leadership combo of Extreme Warrior and the Whisperer ensures these worlds never suffer from a shortage of officials that wastes development time.

So, at the thought of killing insectoids with impunity, everyone only feels a bit of regret—why must they follow Xisi to the Alert Star?

If this meeting were outside, a single command would have them show the insectoids what a combined Empire‑Chaos showdown looks like!

After all, the Four Gods are deities of distortion; they bite the bullet to cooperate with the Empire for their own survival, yet their craving for twisted souls hasn't waned—in fact, forced peace over time has intensified it.

Now that countless insectoid souls "served" by the Empire ascend to Subspace, doesn't that give the idle Subspace Aspace Evil God a chance to conduct a second round of "service"?

At the thought that the insectoids will soon receive simultaneous "service" from both the Empire and the evil god, everyone thinks those insectoids are rather fortunate.

Everyone watches with eager eyes, picking up and putting down their weapons repeatedly, constantly scanning the surroundings with their gaze, fearing that subordinates might betray them by spreading the news to other Original Bodies in the galaxy.

As a result, those Original Bodies acted first.

Especially Kiriman, who couldn't even attend the meeting still in session discussing the Empire's new policies, directly summoned his newly appointed company commander, Taitus, to personally oversee confidentiality matters, especially to keep Shiwang Leon Zhuangsen from finding out.

Otherwise, given Shiwang's pent‑up temper over the years, he'd turn all the insectoids into a human shooting range for dark angels!

By then, their Extreme Warriors might not even get a sip of soup!

Soon, as Xisi and the others digested the broad policies, they added several more detailed proposals.

This time, Xisi looked directly at Washituoer.

As the demigod who constantly follows Xisi, Washituoer has almost become Xisi's spokesperson within the Mechanical Church.

Seeing Xisi look over, Washituoer slightly straightened his posture.

He also recalled his half‑step Om Messiah form that day, trying to align his stance and body as much as possible toward Om Messiah.

But now this somewhat gaunt and sharp‑edged frame makes Washituoer appear a bit comical.

Nevertheless, Washituoer doesn't mind; he just watches Xisi, waiting for the day Xisi's mood improves, then to guide him toward Om Messiah.

"As for the Mechanical Church, Washituoer needs to go to Mars; say it's my decree, have the Mechanical Church slow down archaeology a bit… oh no, I mean slow down research a bit."

"Redirect effort and research output toward improving per‑worker production efficiency."

Upon hearing this, Washituoer nodded without hesitation, while Xisi, at this point, wore an expression of unmistakable speechlessness.

If not for Kiriman and Makado's reminders, Xisi wouldn't have noticed the Mechanical Church also has huge problems.

It's one thing that the Mechanical Church loves archaeology, but over the years, the effort it spends on production capacity is almost nil.

The Empire's massive production capacity, aside from STC templates, relies on endless mortals for ultra‑dense human labor.

If judged purely by per‑person efficiency, humans of the 40K era are even less efficient than those of the distant 3K era!

Before Kiriman's unyielding expedition reforms, the Empire would take an exaggerated span of several hundred to over a thousand years to produce a standard battleship.

The reason the Empire's warship output seems efficient is that its massive scale allows simultaneous production across ten thousand worlds, averaging nearly a warship heading into the void each month.

Thus giving the impression of exaggerated Empire production capacity.

It wasn't until Kiriman's reforms, eliminating church decorations that accounted for ninety percent of work, that warship production efficiency multiplied several times.

Therefore, to chase production, Xisi had to issue a specific decree to the Mechanical Church.

Of course, to ensure the decree is taken seriously by the Mechanical Church, it will bear not only Xisi's signature but also the names of the Divine Emperor and Makado.

"I don't demand the Mechanical Church develop any ultra‑advanced or god‑defying tools; even if their tools only boost worker efficiency by ten percent."

"From the Empire's overall perspective, this is still a qualitative improvement."

After Xisi finished stating his demands and goals, Washituoer nodded, turned, tore open a Subspace rift, and headed for Mars.

The remaining crowd looked at Xisi, clutching weapons they'd lifted and set down countless times, eyes fixed on Xisi, waiting for him to finalize the whole plan.

Xisi reviewed the details, confirmed he had no issues, then finally looked at Makado to see if Makado had any further instructions.

Makado merely glanced back at Xisi, then asked the core question.

"Your new policy is just these?"

Makado was curious; after all, this is too ordinary—useful perhaps, but far from miraculous.

Xisi, seeing Makado ask that, couldn't help a slight smile curl his mouth, and then, before everyone, uttered the final command.

"Finally, I will personally also serve as the head of the Internal Affairs Department."

Everyone: "?"

Ma Ka Duo: "?"

Everyone couldn't understand, and after Xisi said that, he directly added a sentence in his heart:

Hundredfold Administration.

Activate!!!
