The Emperor was no longer that mortal Terran ruler trapped upon the Golden Throne of Terra.

After undergoing transformation and ascension across vast ages, He had already completed a leap at the level of essence, metamorphosing into the Fifth Chaos God within the Warp.

His power foundation was deeply rooted in the unbroken will to endure of the entire human race.

The billions of mortals spread across the Galaxy, their daily faith, hope, suffering, and yearning, continuously channeled a source of power to Him.

As long as human civilization had not been utterly extinguished, the authority belonging to Him would thrive unceasingly, continuing to grow and strengthen.

Relying on this unique power source, the Emperor grasped an exclusive ability sufficient to cow the Chaos lords.

His Divine Grace could directly burn the Evil Gods' Chaos essence at the Warp level, severely wounding the Evil Gods' projected avatars and authorities at their root.

Emperor Walker Dominic received this hard-won gift of authority, and in his hands, summoned a projection of the Emperor's Sword.

This giant sword, its entire body circulating with brilliant golden light, was precisely the concrete vessel of that Chaos-burning power of the Emperor.

Facing the Yi Su avatar that had just been backstabbed by Luna and suffered anchor damage, Dominic raised the projected giant sword with both arms, pouring out all his remaining psychic energy and the borrowed divine power.

The heavy, broad golden blade, wrapped in radiance that incinerated Chaos, descended with the force of a thunderbolt, crashing heavily into the Yi Su avatar's body that was barely maintained by relying on the Supreme Sorcerer Atia's soul anchor.

At the very instant the giant sword pierced the body, Lin En poured all his strength into activating the Bug Swarm Shadow.

Layer upon layer of purple isolation membranes instantly spread out, firmly sealing off every spatial rift and translocation channel through which the Yi Su avatar might escape outward.

Simultaneously, he fully unleashed his own Dominion authority; a surging, unending torrent of purple authority, like a sky-reaching giant wave, firmly suppressed the operation of the residual witchcraft within the Yi Su avatar's body, dismantling its attempts to restructure spells and repair its body.

The brilliant golden light of the Emperor's Sword, like driving piles, nailed the Yi Su avatar firmly dead in the void of the Warp Layer.

That power which burned Chaos at its source continuously eroded inward along the wound.

Above Brevis Planet, the eerie blue psychic mist that had been driven by the Annihilation Ritual and enveloped the entire planet, having lost the energy source supplied by the Yi Su avatar, rapidly dissipated and receded like an ebbing tide; the situation of the entire planet being eroded by the ritual and gradually heading toward demise was finally forcibly halted.

The Dominion power's confinement and blockade, the Bug Swarm Shadow's isolation, plus the Emperor's Sword's targeted burning of Chaos essence — two layers of completely different destructive damage — continuously impacted the foundation of the Yi Su avatar projected here.

Yi Su's consciousness, through the shattered avatar, clearly perceived a fatal crisis.

If He continued to entangle and deadlock here, the Emperor's Sword's burning power would trace back along Atia, this material-world anchor, in reverse, all the way back, directly scorching His Evil God essence deep within the Chaos Sea.

Weighing the pros and cons, He resolutely abandoned the entire scheme He had laid out this time.

The objective of capturing Lin En and Lena, the deicide witchcraft gains the Annihilation Ritual could bring — all were cast to the back of His mind by Him.

The Yi Su avatar suddenly erupted with all the residual Chaos power remaining in its body; a frenzied energy wave exploded with a boom, forcibly wrenching open the dual bindings of the Dominion authority and the Bug Swarm Shadow.

He wrapped the Thousand Sons Supreme Wizard's residual shattered psychic fragments, forcibly tore open a distorted, turbulent Warp Rift, no longer lingering in battle, and fled in panic toward the direction of the Chaos Sea.

When the last wisp of the Yi Su avatar's spiritual light disappeared into the depths of the rift, only the power afterburns remained on the battlefield.

As the vessel that bore the Emperor's authority, Dominic's life also reached its end; the price of the contract made with the Emperor was fully cashed in at this moment.

His psychic body, constructed from the Emperor's psychic energy and his own residual soul, began to crumble and fade bit by bit.

The shattered psychic form floated quietly in the devastated Warp Layer.

Dominic's consciousness finally slowly looked toward Lin En and Lena, who had just broken free of the net and survived the calamity, and then his thoughts penetrated the barrier of the Material Universe, gazing afar toward that Star Sea where his fleet originally belonged.

The obsessions, unwillingness, and doubts about the unknown accumulated in his heart all vanished like smoke.

All matters of the heart returned to acceptance; his psychic light dimmed bit by bit, and his consciousness thoroughly returned to annihilation.

Within the Warp Layer, the battle's smoke and the frenzied psychic storms slowly subsided.

The bond between Lin En and Lena, accumulated through countless bloody battles and long bridging of racial barriers, was thoroughly consummated at this moment.

Floating in Lin En's consciousness field of view, the System Interface — that string of Affection Level numbers that had tugged at countless lives and deaths — finally locked at 100.

A pale pink prompt popup slowly appeared: 【Unlock Special CG. Note: Love can traverse spacetime, and can also make a broken mirror whole again.】

Lin En's spirit instantly penetrated the truth.

The power corresponding to this Special CG was precisely the only hope to repair the devastated Brevis Planet and reclaim the billions of living beings who had nearly perished under the Annihilation Ritual.

The two were no longer bound by the barriers of material flesh, both sinking into the deep sea of consciousness, initiating a deep consciousness-stream fusion.

This was not merely a fusion of flesh, but a resonance and union at the soul level.

In the process of soul fusion, Lena's spiritual body possessed the ability to freely transform its form.

In the first transformation, she became the human girl from Earth's old era deep in Lin En's memory, gentle of brow and eye, shedding all the Tyranid's hideous features.

After a round of spiritual resonance and harmony fell, Lin En's thoughts turned, and a desire to see her true original form arose in his heart.

Lena's thoughts revealed a trace of hesitation and unease; she inwardly worried that the Tyranid's true body form was hideous and terrifying, perhaps not beautiful enough, and would create a barrier in Lin En's heart.

But Lin En's thoughts were gentle and firm, directly telling her: "What I want is the Tyranid."

Receiving the response, spiritual light and shadow flowed; she transformed back into that majestic, towering Frost Dragon true body.

The massive chitinous carapace shimmered with cold purple light; within the dragon pupils flowed a temperature unique to her. The two continued to entwine and resonate in the boundless sea of consciousness.

Accompanying the Special CG's progress, upon Brevis Planet in the Material Universe, earth-shaking changes were quietly occurring.

Those rock layers of the earth destroyed and collapsed by the Annihilation Ritual, the collapsed Hive Cities, the polluted river ecosystems — time seemed to be slowly reversed, bit by bit tracing back and restoring, gradually returning to their appearance before the psychic mist descended.

But there were two sacrifices that even the power of time reversal could not undo.

Yaduoduo, who sacrificed his entire self to build the descent anchor, and Dominic, who signed a contract with the Emperor and burned his soul to ash — their souls had already thoroughly dissipated, and were not within the scope of restoration.

On Brevis's surface, the billions of survivors, as if waking from a great dream after an endless nightmare.

The vast majority of humans, feeling as if a world away, driven by the instinct of escaping death, offered prayers and thanks to the Emperor on Terra.

But the surviving Green Skin Kids under Yaduoduo, and the few loyal subordinates who had followed Lin En all along — the object of the faith they revered in their hearts had already changed.

They began to extol a brand new title in their hearts — "The Overseer," God of Order and Binding.

Just as the Chaos Four Gods' divine abilities have never been purely good or evil.

Khorne wields killing, blood, and violence, yet simultaneously bears the courage and glory of warriors;

The Lord of Lust represents indulgence and endless desire, yet also gives birth to brilliant art and fiery love;

Nurgle symbolizes decay, plague, and decline, yet likewise represents endless vitality and tolerance;

Yi Su represents trickery, conspiracy, and endless change, yet also gives birth to seeking and wisdom.

There are no powers in the world that are purely black and white; every emotion, every concept, simultaneously possesses both positive and negative aspects.

And Lin En's core Divine Spark is Dominion.

This divine ability represents order, rules, governing all things in the world, but inherently, it comes attached with the other side of enslavement and shackles.

The brand-new Warp Evil God, Zhen Wan Tian · Zai Yi, is thus officially born.

He is not a Divine Spark from a single source.

This newly born divine ability perfectly fuses Lin En's own Dominion Origin, while simultaneously absorbing a portion of traits from the Tyranids.

That is the Hive Mind's absolute control and enslavement over the entire race's individuals.

The billions of Tyranid Swarms under Lena's command, distributed across the Galaxy, instinctively sensed this homologous divine ability fluctuation, and spontaneously collectively gave birth to faith.

A massive flood of faith, like surging rivers, continuously rushed into the Warp from the Material Universe, layer upon layer, continuously consolidating the Divine Spark foundation of "Zai Yi".

The time flow speed inside the Warp is inherently completely different from the Material Universe, and on top of that is superimposed the time distortion effect brought by Lin En's own Dominion Domain.

The external Reality Universe merely passed a fleeting instant, but within this interlayer Warp, Lin En and Lena's souls have already spent several days together.

Their souls completed thorough fusion, and the love belonging to the two of them gave birth to a spiritual crystallization.

Lin En is very clear that if all divine power is concentrated in the unity of himself and Lena, the overly immense Great Power would restrict their entry into Real Space.

They would be forever imprisoned within the Warp, never again able to set foot in the real world.

To avoid this calamity, he actively split off a portion of his own Divine Spark and divine ability, differentiating them into thirteen mutually independent consciousness individuals.

These are Lin En and Lena's offspring.

Lin En and Lena, from the perspective of newborn gods, full of benevolent love, quietly gazed upon those thirteen consciousness embryos still in the gestation stage.

It is precisely by relying on these thirteen offspring to bear the diversion and buffering of divine power that they managed to break free from the shackles of Great Power, retaining the possibility of returning to the Material Universe in the future.

But just when the thirteen offspring had not yet fully formed, at the critical moment when they were still incomparably fragile, a violent mixed Warp Storm swept across the entire interlayer space without any warning.

Within the storm were mixed Khorne's crimson blood-red, Nurgle's corrupt decay-green, the Lord of Lust's seductive pink-purple, and Yi Su's sinister deep blue.

This is the offensive launched by the Chaos Four Gods joining forces.

Across the Chaos Sea, the Four Gods witnessed the birth of a brand-new Evil God throughout the entire process.

Khorne, Nurgle, and the Lord of Lust all emitted mental-layer mockery, ridiculing Yi Su extensively.

Mocking him for plotting and laying out plans for so long, only to end up empty-handed, and instead personally catalyzing the birth of a brand-new opponent whose strength cannot be underestimated.

The storm raised by the Four Gods joining forces is terrifying beyond compare.

The newly born Zai Yi, whose foundation is not yet stable, fundamentally cannot fully withstand the destructive strike of the Four Gods joining forces.

Lin En's Inner Heart is incomparably clear: with current strength, he has no absolute certainty of being able to preserve the thirteen offspring under the ravages of this terrifying storm.

Once these not-yet-mature consciousness split-bodies are captured by the Four Gods, the Divine Origin within them would be arbitrarily distorted and corrupted by Chaos Power, ultimately becoming tools manipulated in the Four Gods' hands.

With no other choice, Lin En could only harden his heart and activate the Dominion Ability.

Spatial passages were forcibly torn open, spread across every corner of the Galaxy.

He scrambled the thirteen not-yet-fully-developed offspring consciousnesses and threw them out randomly in one go.

Letting them scatter and drift throughout the Galaxy's Star Sea, each to seek their own opportunities for survival and growth, thereby evading the Four Gods' search and hunt.

Having done all this, Lin En withdrew all his heart and mind, stood shoulder to shoulder with Lena, and faced head-on the Four Gods' combined Warp Storm rolling and crushing toward them.
