Chapter 1380 - 1124: The Emperor’s Plan

The new Prophet faltered, as he hadn’t expected the Emperor to propose such a request.

"My brother, it seems it’s not just you who is influencing the Emperor, but he also appears to be influencing you!" the new Prophet laughed.

"Heh, you needn’t worry about that. Oh great Prophet, do you agree to let me lead the troops as the Vanguard to exterminate all of Elsa’s combat forces?" the Emperor’s voice rose slightly so the old Prophet could hear as well.

"Since you’re so determined, go ahead! Our army is waiting below!" the new Prophet certainly would not stop him. As a Divine Worm himself, the new Prophet would be more than happy for the Emperor to perish out there. However, to the new Prophet, his sole intention likely involved desiring Elsa’s body, given that any Divine Worm would covet her immense power.

The Emperor expressed his gratitude and then took his leave. Gulu gave the Emperor a glance, sensing something unusual. However, he would never disclose it, given he is essentially Elsa’s servant now, and any anomaly here could turn into an advantage for Elsa.

The Emperor left and headed straight for the military camp.

"Are you satisfied now, Your Majesty?" A red light flickered as the Divine Worm spoke to the Emperor’s consciousness.

"Yes, I am satisfied! That ignorant girl must pay the price! She must die!" the Emperor declared. At that moment, to outsiders, it merely seemed like he was talking to himself.

Ten thousand soldiers, having received their orders, lined up in formation. The Emperor stood above, contentedly observing the fighters below. At this moment, these white-skinned soldiers, dressed not in armor but only their bare skins, gazed excitedly at the Emperor with their single enormous eyes.

Red light emanated from the Emperor’s eyes with strange fluctuations within. In an instant, all the white-skinned soldiers’ massive single eyes similarly glowed with light.

"You will obey all my commands! Serve me as your only master!" the Emperor bellowed.

"Yes! Master!" the white-skinned soldiers shouted fanatically.

The Emperor nodded in satisfaction—this was the effect he wanted. These ten thousand soldiers were few but elite. Compared to the previous mediocre troops, these fighters’ capabilities were significantly superior. With them, he believed the Ghost Spirits girls near Elsa would absolutely down stand a chance against him!

Indeed, it was absolutely impossible!

"So, the time for revenge has come," the Worm spoke.

"Yes, the time for revenge has come!" the Emperor replied as well.

The Emperor always wore a ring symbolizing his imperial power on his finger ever since the day he became Emperor. He never took it off, not even when the Worm parasitized him, for it saw no issue with the ring. But at that moment, a thin bolt of golden electricity suddenly burst forth from the ring, traveled swiftly from the Emperor’s hand into his eyes, and then directly burrowed inside.

At that moment, oblivious within the depths of the Emperor’s consciousness, the worm was buoyantly preparing its revenge. In its plan, once Elsa’s forces were defeated, it would seize the opportunity to take over Elsa’s consciousness. Elsa had an extremely powerful body and the capability to defeat the white-skinned soldiers, and the worm knew their weaknesses well. Once it took over Elsa’s consciousness, it would become Elsa, leading the entire Heaven Realm to resist the white-skinned soldiers’ assault. By then, the Heaven Realm would be fully unified under its control! The day it defeated the white-skinned soldiers, the Heaven Realm would undoubtedly be completely under its control!

Yes, everything was so perfect.

However, when the golden electric arc invaded the consciousness space, the Divine Worm was utterly terrified.

"God Eater! Why is there a God Eater here!" the Divine Worm shouted out loud, quickly realizing from its recent memory that the God Eater was hidden inside the Emperor’s ring!

"This is impossible! How can there be a God Eater in your ring! I have been parasitizing you for ten years! Your every move has never escaped my surveillance! You never had the opportunity to come into contact with a God Eater!" the Divine Worm couldn’t believe it.

"Yes, ten years. These ten years of enduring patience, finally, the day has come!" the Emperor’s voice came through, while the Divine Worm frantically hid within the consciousness space, fearing the God Eater might find it. The golden electric arc wasn’t very powerful, so it seemed unable to catch up with the worm immediately, but this didn’t lessen its lethality to the Divine Worm.

"Are you curious why there’s a God Eater?" the Emperor laughed. "That’s because, long before you appeared, I had foreseen your arrival, and I have received help from the future! Hahahaha!"

"No, this is impossible! Impossible! This defies the laws of space-time!" the Divine Worm screamed and yelled, but finally, the golden electric arc caught up with it and then tightly entangled it. Because the electric arc itself wasn’t very strong, it slowly devoured the Divine Worm. The Divine Worm struggled desperately but couldn’t escape at all. It endured extreme pain as it watched itself being digested bit by bit.

The red light in the Emperor’s eyes disappeared, and he finally returned to being himself. This change made him somewhat unaccustomed, and he had to take several deep breaths to barely recover from the dizziness, but now he had no time to calm himself down.

"Soldiers, tell me once again, who is your master!" the Emperor asked loudly.

"It’s you! You are our master!" Because they already harbored intentions of betrayal, the Worm had cast an extremely potent control spell on these White-skinned soldiers, ensuring they could only obey the Emperor—exactly what the Emperor needed.

"So now, my warriors, I need you to execute every command I issue!"

"Yes, my master!" the White-skinned soldiers roared.

"Put on your armor! Follow me and let’s destroy the Power Core of this star planet!" the Emperor roared.

"Destroy the core! Destroy the core!" The White-skinned soldiers went mad; they did not know what they were doing, they were simply following orders. And the current command was straightforward—destroy the planet’s core.

This planet contained four massive cores, crucial for the normal functioning of the Mechanical Planet. Destroying just one would halt all teleportation; two would stop movement; three, and most functions of the planet would be lost; and if all four were destroyed, the planet would instantly collapse!

This was exactly the Emperor’s objective!

Ten thousand elite soldiers were divided into four groups; each group consisted of two thousand five hundred soldiers. One group, led by the Emperor, headed straight for the nearest core, while the other three groups sped towards the remaining cores. Along the way, any questioning White-skinned soldiers were ignored, prompting some to become alert and try to stop them, but the Emperor’s command was clear: anyone who blocks me dies!

A group of elite soldiers charged with unstoppable speed, those unprepared soldiers watching helplessly as they passed by, and moments later, the first massive core was already in sight.

Meanwhile, above, the old and new Prophets were still discussing the deployment routes when slight tremors began to emanate from the ground. These tremors even caused the entire planet to roar!

"What’s happening?" the old Prophet asked.

"Reporting to the Prophet, one of the massive Power Cores has suddenly stopped working!" a maintenance technician immediately identified the problem.

A core stopping? Though not unprecedented in history, why now?

But in the next moment, the technician’s eyes widened, speaking in an incredulous tone, "Reporting to both Prophets! Just now, the Emperor of the Celestial Clan, leading a group of elite soldiers, broke through all obstacles and destroyed a massive Power Core!"

The two Prophets were first stunned, then their faces twisted horribly!

"That bastard! I thought he would only reveal his true intentions after parasitizing Elsa, but he couldn’t restrain himself!" the old Prophet roared.

"All warriors prepared for deployment, defend the remaining three massive cores at all costs! Anyone who dares to breach the core area is to be killed on the spot!" the new Prophet also roared.

At this moment, Gulu sensed a message from Elsa. It turned out that Elsa had also infiltrated the planet just before. With the planet in chaos, nobody had time for anything else.

Gulu immediately reported the situation to Elsa, who understood that the so-called plan foretold by her father had begun, and she had to find her father as quickly as possible. The current problem was, where exactly was he?

At this time, the ordered elite soldiers had already engaged with the defending soldiers. Due to the elite soldiers’ obvious superiority, the defenders were forced to retreat. However, as more defending soldiers joined, the initial wave of assault finally subsided. But the first group led by the Emperor had also arrived, and five thousand elites began a combined assault, putting the defenders in a dire situation, forcing them to continuously retreat. The fighting will of the two sides was completely different. The Emperor’s elite soldiers, under mental control, were fearless and would keep charging despite any damage. The other side, originally intimidated by the elite soldiers, was reluctant to stand and face death. This give and take continually pushed the defensive line back. In a blink of an eye, the massive core was right before them!

"We’re just here to destroy the core! Move away if you don’t want to die!"

The Emperor shouted loudly, and all elite soldiers gathered all their energy, forming a massive orb of light and smashing it directly into the massive core. Facing such an attack, the defending soldiers never thought to withstand it; instead, they retreated faster!

Amidst a huge roar and trembling, the second massive core exploded again!

The explosion of the core caused uncontrollable energy to spill out, blowing a huge hole in one side of the planet.

The first time was simply incapacitating the core, but this time, they directly destroyed the core, causing it to explode!

The terrifying power of the explosion inflicted heavy casualties on the soldiers defending in front of the core, and even some of the Emperor’s elite soldiers were severely injured.

"Don’t stop! Fulfill your mission! Destroy the remaining two cores!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com to vote for it or buy a monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
