Chapter 961 Necessary Sacrifice

In the former Federation era, people regarded the sudden surge of psionicists as another beginning of human evolution. These psionicists possessed powers that normal people did not have, and had extraordinary abilities. These abilities were completely unknown to the Federation at that time. Therefore, people at that time regarded psionicists as a manifestation of human evolution, which led to the widespread veneration of psionicists in some Federation worlds.

In this world left behind by the Federation in this galaxy, the situation is even more exaggerated. In this world, the so-called ruler regards the psionicists as humans who are more noble than the citizens. He himself is also a psionicist. In addition to the troops composed of citizens, there are also higher-level troops composed of psionicists. These troops are the ruler's trump card and his trump card for maintaining the stability of this world. These psionic troops in this world monitor the thoughts of everyone in the world at all times. As long as there is any thought of rebellion, these psionic troops will immediately eliminate those who dare to rebel.

Their extraordinary power is completely insurmountable for ordinary people, and this is what the rulers of this world have relied on for generations. As long as those psychics exist and as long as there are people in this world who can awaken psychic powers, then the rule of this world ruler will continue indefinitely.

This arrogant ruler believed that only the people of his world possessed such "advanced" genes. When he saw the transmigrator's think tank use that psychic power, he almost went mad. After all, judging from the transmigrator's psychic power, this psychic was more terrifying than any psychic in their world. At least, the psychics in this world could not perform such a wide-ranging attack, nor could they so precisely turn combat iron men into scrap metal.

The psionic units in this world couldn't even last an hour under the onslaught of the Iron Men. After all, these guys needed to rest while using psionic energy; otherwise, overuse of psionic energy could cause those psionics who hadn't received professional training to explode. The psionic training that the psionic units in this world received was far too simplistic compared to the Empire's training for psionics. The way psionics were trained in this world was simply by having veteran psionics train new ones. This method could only enable psionics to use their power, but it couldn't enable them to control it at all.

To the official psionicists of the Empire, the training of psionicists in this world was nothing more than child's play. The resulting psionic units were highly unpredictable, and it was quite possible that on the battlefield, they would blow themselves and their comrades up while using their powers.

However, the ruler of this world didn't care about any of that; he only cared about the powerful think tank. He watched the video recordings sent by the combat iron man over and over again like a madman, constantly trying to find something like a psionic amplification device on the think tank. But unfortunately, apart from the psionic light that illuminated the entire street and the dome of the hive city, there was nothing else in the video. In the flashing of that psionic light, the think tank was like a god descended to the mortal world. The dark blue lightning flashed around him, constantly appearing from the void around him. He was like a god in ancient mythology who could control lightning. With a wave of his hand, the dark blue lightning illuminated the entire dome.

The ruler, having watched the video countless times, slumped into his chair in despair. Even someone as proud as him understood the immense power of that think tank. He stared at the think tank in the video, then sighed deeply. He now clearly understood why the human empire dared to conquer and subjugate those human worlds among the stars, and he understood the true reason for the human empire's strength. With such terrifying psionicists in its army, that empire was undoubtedly very powerful, at least more powerful than his own world. The ruler of this world, with his shallow understanding, comprehended that empire in the starry sky. Even now, he didn't admit that the empire was much stronger than him, at most its psionic forces were stronger. As long as his psionic troops could overwhelm that think tank with sheer numbers, everything would be fine. After all, no matter what, ten thousand psionic troops had the advantage over one psionicist.

As he was thinking this, his psionic force had already begun fighting the think tank, though he was unaware of it. After all, the transmigrators who had entered the hive had already reached the gates of his palace, and his proud force of ten thousand psionic warriors was now littered with corpses. Under the psionic pressure of several Alpha-level think tanks, those ten thousand psionic warriors were completely powerless to resist. Their levels were incredibly low, downright appalling, and they couldn't even control their power. In the brief battle just now, the transmigrators had witnessed several psionic warriors being utterly destroyed by him.

This situation is completely unthinkable for transmigrators. After all, psionicists are seen as completely uncontrollable beings, even after the destruction of the Chaos Gods. The power of the High Heaven is not so controllable. Although the Chaos Gods have been destroyed, there are still a large number of subspaces in the High Heaven. Every psionicist will be targeted by these subspace entities when using their power.

Although in this era, not many warp entities dare to use psionicists as portals to enter the real universe, there are still quite a few warp entities willing to take the risk. Moreover, the power of the High Heaven is not so easy to control. The power of the High Heaven is not a stream that can be easily manipulated, but rather a series of giant waves like tsunamis. If not controlled properly, a psionicist can easily destroy himself.

As for those psionicists who had absolutely no control over their power, the transmigrators' intelligence pool could easily kill them. They wouldn't even need to use much psionic power; they could simply guide their own power to cause the psionicists to explode on the spot. However, the transmigrators didn't want to do that. They knew that after a large number of psionicists died on a world, their dying cries could cause terrible destruction, something the transmigrators didn't want. So, the transmigrators used a very ancient method to deal with the psionicists: killing them one by one. At the same time, they also revealed their warp form, allowing the psionicists' souls to return to the golden sun and golden throne on Holy Terra when they were killed. Only in this way could the impact of their deaths be minimized, and their dying cries could prevent the power of the High Heavens from flooding the real universe on a large scale, causing widespread warp pollution or strange psionic phenomena.

After the transmigrators finished dealing with all the spirit warriors, they headed towards the magnificent palace. They gazed at the exquisite Baroque palace, which was both beautiful and luxurious. On its outer walls were carved scenes from ancient Terran mythology, including myths from ancient Europe and traditional Chinese mythology. These elements were pieced together harmoniously, demonstrating the high level of artistic skill of the palace's designer. However, this exquisite palace was nothing new to the transmigrators. They had traveled through countless worlds and seen all sorts of creations from human civilizations. They had seen cyberpunk-style urban worlds left over from the Federation era, as well as tourist worlds designed by the Human Federation in ancient European and ancient Chinese styles. The art and architecture of this world held little appeal for the transmigrators. They walked towards the palace gates. Next, they would drag the ruler of this world out of his palace and punish him accordingly.

The ruler of this world has actually done many wrong things, but the one that led the transmigrators to decide to sentence him to death was his refusal to be reclaimed by the empire. According to the Great Unification Law of Humanity in the revised imperial laws of the current era of revival, any ruler of this world who refuses to be reclaimed by the empire and refuses to integrate into the great human civilization, intending to live independently of human civilization, will be sentenced to crimes against humanity. After all, in this era, the revival of humanity is an unstoppable trend, and the human empire cannot tolerate those worlds scattered in the galaxy living independently of human civilization. Every resource on those worlds is extremely precious, and the most precious of all is the human population on those worlds.

Now that the empire faces no obstacles to expansion, the environments of countless worlds have been transformed into habitable environments for humans. The once seemingly endless population of the empire is now experiencing a shortage. Every day, a new habitable world is completed in the galaxy, and countless immigrants board transport ships to these transformed worlds. The initial population requirements for each new habitable world are staggering, leading to a population shortage even in previously overcrowded worlds like Chaochao. With humanity's unbridled expansion and the transformation of countless worlds, the population is genuinely insufficient.

The Empire's million worlds are constantly expanding. During this expansion, the number of colonists, new troops, workers, and various professions needed on those colonized worlds is enormous. Therefore, the Empire places great importance on the reconquest of those worlds. These worlds can not only bring more colonies but also more people, which can increase the strength of the Empire, which is currently operating at a high speed.

"You! What are you doing?!"

Just as the transmigrators kicked open the gates of the magnificent palace and found the ruler hidden in the safe house inside, the ruler looked at the transmigrators with a look of horror. He had no idea how the transmigrators had dealt with his powerful army of ten thousand psionicists.

The time travelers, seeing the terrified ruler, dragged him from his throne and carried him out of the palace like a chick. They threw him onto the plaza in front of the palace. As they did so, the ruler saw the corpses of his psionic troops. Looking at the square littered with bodies, at the mutilated and unseeing eyes of the psionics, he screamed in despair. His expression gradually changed from despair to madness. He laughed wildly, muttering that it was all fake, all an illusion. But it wasn't an illusion; it was all real.

The transmigrators ignored the mad ruler. They simply retrieved intelligence and data reports about this world from the palaces, backed them up, and then sent them all to the fleet in orbit. As the mad ruler continued to mutter, this world finally returned to the greater whole of human civilization. From this day forward, no one in this world will ever starve to death in the world of the empire again, and no one will ever starve to death under the glory of the Holy Emperor.

"Indeed, another fifty-four worlds have been discovered and reclaimed. Although some conflicts occurred in twenty-nine of them, these sacrifices are necessary for the unification of human civilization... Sigh, I truly hope that every world can be reclaimed peacefully..."

In Holy Terra, Wang Ming watched as the worlds in the galaxy were reclaimed today. He nodded silently, then closed his data panel and began to work on the next phase of the Revival Expedition plan.
