Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 344 I Am the Emperor

"Is the blood pure?"

Han Su's question was somewhat abrupt to Li Manman, and she didn't understand it for a moment.

Meeting Han Su's gaze, Li Manman finally realized what was happening and said in a low voice, "They are all people who have inherited the title of Grand Duke."

"Within the Guardians' organization, those qualified to wear golden robes were also two members who attacked the Black Rose headquarters. I don't know your concept of pure and impure blood, but in terms of their status..."

"...the master of the world."

"The master of the world?"

Han Su pondered the meaning of those five words and slowly nodded: "That should meet my requirements."

Li Manman felt a little uneasy: "You want to..."

Han Su shook his head and asked, "Were they sent to Zero City to prevent the natural disaster, or to deal with Miss Ai?"

“I already learned from the Church of Rest that this is the location where the fifth River of Corpses entered reality. If Zero City also realized the importance of this battlefield, why did they only send two people here? Or are there other experts?”

"Are you asking about Zero City's current strength?"

Li Manman paused for a moment, then said, "This is just one of the potential battlefields."

"This is also one of the terrifying aspects of that world-destroying machine."

"Everyone in the world knows that her goal is to bring natural disasters into reality, and they know that she has succeeded four times. Her current goal is to bring the fifth natural disaster into the world. However, even if they know this, they cannot effectively target or block her."

"What the Church of the Restoration and the present-day Zero City are fighting over is less an altar and more a potential volcano."

"There are already 23 similar volcanic craters known worldwide, and it cannot be ruled out that there may be other undiscovered hidden volcanic craters. These craters could all become the breaches that lead to the eruption of the Corpse River and the entry of natural disasters into the world."

"This world-destroying machine has done similar things before. It has instigated many wars around the world to create a false impression. Perhaps when both sides have deployed their forces in one place, it has introduced a natural disaster in another place."

"Therefore, in order to fight against her, the Guardians of the World could only disperse their forces to various places and monitor her in the same way they monitor the world."

“Zero City is indeed the place under the most pressure on the surface right now, but neither Chao Xiaobei nor Zero City thinks that it is most likely to become the real gap in natural disasters, which is why they only sent me here.”

"As for the other locations with a higher probability, Song Yushi and his sister, Bai Shixing, Meng Qingtong, and Lan Huiguo were sent out separately to investigate the specific situation..."

"..."

'So they really did go their separate ways, just hoping to find me somewhere, and at the same time stop Miss Ai…'

Han Su listened to her words and felt a slight pang of emotion.

These characters, who returned to reality directly due to the collapse of the castle, have already developed their own unique characteristics.

They relied on each other for ten years and built a deep friendship.

Even someone as unsightly as Bai Shixing became a team member they trusted?

He smiled and said, "The Song Yushi siblings you mentioned..."

"They are now the strongest and most powerful group in our entire squad."

Mentioning those two people, a hint of pride appeared on Li Manman's face. She smiled slightly and said softly, "Sister Yushi is the only one among us who has found family."

"Although her brother was injured in the Qinggang bombing and is now confined to a wheelchair, he is very intelligent and has worked with Song Yushi to complete many extremely difficult tasks."

"Because Zero City is only ranked third in terms of danger, they sent me here, while they went to the most dangerous place."

"..."

"Song Chushi was injured?"

Han Su thought of the dangerous person from his previous life story and sighed softly.

This life trajectory shows how drastically everyone's fate changes.

"In that case, things are actually simpler."

Han Su looked up and could feel that the city was shrouded in a dark shadow.

Even the wooden puppets summoned by Li Manman sensed something was wrong and stood with their hands on their hips, cursing at the sky.

"Now I only have one question."

As he stood up, he asked Li Manman, "How long will it take you all to get together?"

"Furthermore, are you currently capable of taking on a city?"

"..."

When faced with Han Su's question, Li Manman's expression showed a slight surprise. She did not answer Han Su's second question, but only said in a low voice, "I will pass on the message to them. Once they know you are here, everyone will come as soon as possible."

"However, although everyone here is very capable, we haven't done anything with our full effort in a long time."

"...We have no reason!"

"..."

From her reaction, Han Su suddenly understood her complex psychology.

This is a group of confused people.

They used to work for Miss Ai, but instead they brought about four major natural disasters, killing many people.

After their defection, they wanted to do something for the world, but after careful consideration, they concluded that the Guardians of the World were equally untrustworthy.

Therefore, they are confused and conflicted, unable to find their own side, and can only hope to find themselves and understand everything.

At this moment, she encountered herself, heard the murderous intent in her own words, and was still worried that she would also use them recklessly like the Mechanical Mother had done before.

Of course, that's not important...

...The important thing is that she didn't refute it.

...This means that in their eyes, fighting against a city is really not a difficult problem, in fact, it's very simple?
...This is a bunch of nuclear bombs with mental health issues!
"I'll go clear the area and make some preparations first. You can use this time to contact them and consider my request."

Thinking to himself, Han Su looked at Li Manman more seriously and said, "Also, I haven't spoken with Miss Ai yet, so there are some questions I can't explain to you clearly, but I think I can answer your initial question."

"You asked me about my relationship with the Black Rose, probably because you want to know whether I belong to the world-destroying machines or the guardians in this chaotic world?"

"neither!"

He smiled and said, "We ourselves are a camp!"

"And you, after you've touched the briefcase, will understand that you and I are on the same side!"

“All along, it has been us, the children who were once kidnapped, who have the most unified goal.”

"..."

"..."

After saying this, Han Su stood up, squeezed out of the densely packed wooden puppets around him, and walked towards the town center.

At this moment, the abandoned town was filled with the dazed words of the dead. The three high priests of the Church of Rest, while Han Su came out to face Li Manman, had already secretly plotted something that was so large that it could affect the entire abandoned town.

Eerie incantations echoed through the dilapidated streets, stirring up invisible shadows that intertwined and crisscrossed, making the town resemble a prison.

As Han Su walked out, the crooked little team had already come up to him, their faces full of anger.

Although they were foolish and naive, they thought they were very smart.

At first, Han Su, as one of their own, was just a small action team leader under the Church of the Repose. However, this team leader has become a chosen one of God, and his status is above the three high priests. He is the high priest.

So, if those three high priests want to deal with the high priest, they are committing apostasy, and as loyal believers, they have always deeply abhorred such people who betray their faith.

If they weren't outmatched, they would have rushed over and dragged those three guys out without Han Su giving them an order.

Feeling the changes in the entire town, Han Su actually felt relieved.

The reason I initially preserved this branch of the Church of the Repose was because I couldn't see the overall situation on the battlefield clearly and didn't know which side to stand on. Now that things are clear, since I'm here, it's no longer a question of which side I should stand on.

Rather, it's about which side the others should choose!
Just like Miss Ai, who is currently lurking somewhere in this world, it's not about me going to see her, but about her coming to see me!

"He definitely has a problem!"

Inside the makeshift church, the three chief priests were already frowning and glaring angrily.

Initially, they were still shocked and puzzled by Han Su's performance, but after seeing him talk to the secret weapon sent by Zero City for a long time, they were certain:
"No wonder this unassuming squad leader suddenly acted so strangely. There's only one answer: he's already colluded with the enemy."

"That's why he possesses such incredible abilities, and that's why he can directly corrupt the source of our faith." "In that case, what we can do is quite simple!"

"Take him out, along with that secret weapon of Zero City!"

"..."

The three of them have been stripped of their mystical powers, but they also have an unexpected method.

Call up!
They directly contacted other believers via secret telephone, reporting everything that happened on the Zero City battlefield. Then, the other eight parishes joined forces to recite the Corpse Language, forming a unified resting place and constructing a model similar to a level two city's real-world defense line.

This field will forcibly activate the town where they are located, drawing down the will of the Lord of Rest, which is equivalent to combining the power of the eight parishes to launch a fatal blow.

Of course, they were also well aware that Han Su had planted a mental bullet in them.

Perhaps that terrifying traitor could snap his fingers and kill himself, but that doesn't matter.

The followers of this mysterious organization are absolutely fearless of death!

……

……

"My life level is currently in the fourth division of the golden cell, which is just an empty level without any power. Also, because the Emperor sequence does not have any abnormal characteristics, my life level cannot be judged from the abnormal characteristics."

"Based on past experience, when I want to obtain the corresponding 'energy,' there is only one way: to use the mysterious power of this world to sacrifice to the Emperor's Book!"

"The amount of sacrifice will determine the corresponding reward!"

"The resting deity of this church was not enough for me to restore my level of life, so I did not touch it."

"Now, they've actually brought all eight parishes to me on their own initiative..."

"..."

Silently thinking to himself, Han Su slowly walked into the town center, only a hundred meters away from the temporary church. Behind him, some members of the "Wai Gua" squad peeked out, some tilted their heads, and some hid behind the door frames of empty houses, watching him cautiously.

Before him, the countless, seemingly faint incantations suddenly intensified, a gale arose, and the sky seemed to darken instantly.

The cold, slippery feeling around me became increasingly real, as if I were standing in a pile of corpses.

Han Su looked up and saw that there was a spiritual power in the air that seemed to have reached a real level, vaguely outlining a human shape.

Those were the phantom images projected from eight corpses, each occupying one side of the town. A tidal wave of spiritual power poured down into the town, encompassing all living things, including the armed forces, the Wai Gua Squad, and Li Manman.

Beyond this vast area, in the respective locations of the eight dioceses, countless people are also paying attention to this place.

"Now that we're here, let's not get distracted!"

In the town, Han Su felt the endless projection of death, took a deep breath, and slowly raised his hand.

Zero-sequence ciphertext spell number 05 exit: "I command you to manifest in the light!"

Whoosh!

As the incantation was uttered, the entire town seemed to fall into a deathly silence for a moment.

The next moment, an endless storm suddenly surged forth. The spiritual fields of the eight parishes that had been poured into this town, which had originally intended to suppress everything in the town, broke free of control at this moment and all flowed towards a single point in the city.

Normally, such a massive mental force surging into a single point would inevitably burst it, as no human brain could withstand such power.

While forcibly drawing all the pollution towards himself, Han Su suddenly put down his briefcase. As the briefcase landed, it opened, and the Emperor's Book flew into his hand. The next moment, endless pollution power surged into the book.

All magnitudes, nature conflicts, and will contaminations do not exist.

The Emperor's Book seemed endless, directly devouring the pollution of the eight dioceses without any sense of fullness.

"not good……"

This sudden change also shocked the other seven dioceses. To them, it should have been like launching a missile from a distance; it would be normal if it could harm the enemy, and even if it didn't, it wouldn't affect them.

But to their surprise, the projected power seemed to have entered some kind of vortex. They didn't know what was going on and, in their panic, tried to sever the connection.

But at that moment, Han Su spoke again in a low voice: "I command you to manifest in the light!"

The command was reinforced once again: all contamination must be directed at it.

At this moment, the instruction came to mind, and even had a faint sense of command.

As a result, all attempts by the various dioceses to sever the connection immediately failed. From the corpses worshipped in each church, a continuous stream of power was drawn towards Han Su, or rather, towards the Book of the Emperor in Han Su's hands.

Immediately afterwards, the Emperor's Book shone brightly, and endless pure power returned to Han Su himself.

This power seemed even purer than the mysterious power Han Su obtained in the ancient castle, and it instantly filled his mental model.

The golden cells divided and filled three times, and then divided and filled four times. At this moment, Han Su even felt that every cell in his body seemed to have a mysterious power stored in it, and his life level was constantly rising.

As this state reached its peak, he raised his hand and chanted another incantation:
"All things respond to my will!"

"..."

This was a secret incantation he had recited many times, and it was the most common zero sequence. But at this moment, whether it was due to the influence of the intertwining of spiritual forces or the resonance of the mysterious power of the Emperor sequence, it triggered a kind of mysterious distortion.

It sounds like: Whoever you are, come and pay your respects!
The five memory fragments that appeared earlier due to the castle ceremony were churning in Han Su's mind, exceptionally clear.

It's as if Han Su really did those five things, and once cooperated with the gods to suppress natural disasters.

Having the memory of those five things means that I did them. Even if I forgot what happened afterward, as long as I have the memory of doing those five things, I am the "emperor".

Therefore, when facing natural disasters, I now possess the spirit of an emperor.

These abnormal corpses are just scraps, yet they dare to stand so upright in the face of my appearance.

Kneel down!

At the same time, the abnormal power that had been sacrificed to the Book of the Emperor also surged rapidly, forcibly merging with it, as if transforming into authority.

Previously, these abnormal powers were sacrificed to the Book of the Emperor; that was a sacrifice.

Now, Han Su seems to have grasped the Emperor's Book!
……

……

"What happened?"

In other parishes, the scene was utterly horrifying.

All the priests, altar priests, and believers rushed in, looking at the quiet corpses in the coffins, not only having their life force frantically drained, but even suddenly convulsing.

Then, amidst countless incredulous gazes, the corpses suddenly sat up, crawled out of their coffins, and knelt down in the direction Han Su was currently facing.

"This……"

A dead silence.

All believers were unable to comprehend what they were witnessing; their faith, their God…

...They're actually kneeling in worship?

Then, who is worthy of the gods' worship?

"It's the emperor!"

In this same desolate silence, it was as if some indescribable, hidden power was instantly activated. Even in the ruins where they were, countless electronic devices still existed, serving as aids in the war.

At that moment, as they were demonstrating the sand table and playing data on the electronic screen, the image suddenly flickered, and a line of large characters slowly scrolled out.

Immediately afterwards, the phone rang incessantly, and emails flooded into my inbox.

Fax machines, typewriters, and communication devices all operated simultaneously, and chaotic information circulated across the entire land.

On the printed paper, in each email, all the information consisted of only six large characters:

The Emperor has returned!

……

……

On the streets of the abandoned city, Li Manman also felt the absolute dominance of the city center, and a complex emotion welled up from the bottom of her heart.

She lowered her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over the wooden dolls beside her, and finally picked up the one holding a spatula, but with the fiercest look, and whispered, "Go tell them, I've found him."
