I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

In the original work, Tohka Yatogami's transformation occurred after she experienced extreme emotional breakdown and despair.

"Hehehe, don't worry, I have experience with this too~~~~."

While dealing with miscellaneous matters from all over the country through the Book of Omniscience, Honjou Nia grinned at Tokisaki Kurumi with an expression of knowing what was going on as soon as she heard the word "reversal."

If we're talking about a reversal of emotions due to despair and pain, then Nia Honjo is equally qualified.

“It’s okay. I will only amplify your inner pain and guide your reversal of power. I will help you maintain your spirit and personality.”

Talking casually about what she would do, Duanmu Lian calmly extended her hand to Tokisaki Kurumi.

Kurumi Tokisaki hesitated for a moment, but still extended her little hand.

Duanmu Lian grabbed Tokisaki Kurumi's hand and interlocked their fingers. Then, a dense magnetic field and electric light spread to her body and entered her brain.

Then, Kurumi Tokisaki's entire body began to tremble violently.

Duanmu Lian used the power of the magnetic field to extract the painful memories from her mind, namely the emotions she felt when she was deceived by Chonggong Ling and learned the truth, and amplified them with her own power.

"——Aa ...

In an instant, Kurumi Tokisaki, her face pale, let out a hoarse growl.

At this moment, her mind was filled with painful memories of the past, the devastation and guilt of accidentally killing her best friend, the disbelief of killing countless innocent girls, and so on. All the negative emotions exploded in her mind.

Her spiritual power also became distorted due to the collapse and change in her emotions, and a huge wave of spiritual power burst out from Tokisaki Kurumi.

However, this power was directly suppressed within the room by Duanmu Lian's mental thoughts and did not spread out.

Just as Kurumi Tokisaki's mental personality was about to collapse, a mental thought directly entered her mind and took her place.

"...Duanmu-jun?"

In the mental space, watching the expressionless figure enduring negative emotions that drove her to hysteria and madness, Kurumi Tokisaki was somewhat dazed.

In order to prevent Tokisaki Kurumi's mental personality from reversing, the divine thought from Duanmu Lian took her place and endured the mental torture.

"What are you still standing there for? Quickly grab the core of that power!"

Calmly accepting the despair and collapse emanating from Tokisaki Kurumi, Duanmu Lian spoke indifferently.

This level of torment was like raindrops falling on Duanmu Lian, who had struggled in the sea of ​​suffering.

The pain and despair he experienced were far beyond what Tokisaki Kurumi could ever have imagined.

Whether it was because her distorted personality could no longer be distorted, or because she had been tempered by wind and rain to develop an iron will, or because she was used to suffering, Duanmu Lian had an extremely strong tolerance for pain and despair.

"Ah, oh...."

Once she regained her senses, Kurumi Tokisaki immediately calmed herself down and began to harness the power of reversal.

She still felt bad about letting others bear her despair and pain.

In the real world, under the scrutinizing gaze of Nia Honjou and the expressionless, wary look of Ryuu, Kurumi Tokisaki opened her heterochromatic eyes, one red and one blue.

At this moment, her original black and red Lolita dress had all been transformed into a snow-white military uniform, and her golden clock left eye had turned into a blue astronomical clock.

"This power..."

Maintaining her original personality, Kurumi Tokisaki was very surprised to experience an even stronger power within her body.

After the reversal, her spiritual power expanded several orders of magnitude.

The original Emperor Zafki has become the Mad Emperor, and his skills have also increased significantly.

Just as the twelve clock divisions of the Celestial Emperor represent different abilities, the Mad Emperor also possesses the twelve zodiac signs, a new power named after the twelve constellations.

"Remember this feeling. You should take some time to practice it in the future so that you can freely use the powers of angels and demons."

At this moment, Duanmu Lian raised her hand and gently tapped Tokisaki Kurumi's forehead, withdrawing her spiritual consciousness from the other's head.

Negative emotions are merely the key to unlocking this power.

It is not necessary to be in a state of mental anguish and despair to use this power.

With more practice, given her foundation after merging completely with the Spirit Crystal, Tokisaki Kurumi will definitely be able to freely use the powers of the Angel and the Demon King in the future.

When her power advances to the level of a god, it will only become stronger.

Chapter 82 The Underworld Dimension, the Power of Black Holes

After the empire was established, Duanmu Lian, Tokisaki Kurumi, and others did not relax; instead, they became even busier.

Besides handling state affairs and fighting wars, Duanmu Lian also needed to put more effort into promoting martial arts and physical fitness among the people, since the strength they gained through martial arts training was their own.

Meanwhile, Tokisaki Kurumi, in her original form, is currently training diligently to master the powers of [Zafkiel] and [Kryptonite].

Most of her tens of thousands of clones are handling various matters, large and small, within the cult.

While posing as an imperial concubine in the palace, she also needs to handle various political affairs, large and small, across the country with Honjo Nia.

What? You can't!?

No problem, Duanmu Lian simply threw him into the learning machine, just like she had done to Mebius, so that he could learn and master the handling of state affairs.

With so many things to do and feeling a bit overwhelmed, Duanmu Lian summoned her Calabash Brothers incarnation.

After all, even after the empire was established, there were still many foreign tribes around it harboring ulterior motives, wanting to take a piece of the empire.

Therefore, Duanmu Lian directly sent her avatar to lead the army and severely weakened them, leaving them no chance of recovery for a hundred years.

The reason we didn't deal with them before was simply because the empire's territory was too vast, making it difficult to control and manage every part of it.

The empire is now manufacturing steam engines. Once transportation and other issues are resolved, Duanmu Lian will annex them directly.

For the sake of the people's faith and for them to cultivate their own vital energy, the more people there are, the better.

And what is Duanmu Lian's true form doing right now?

He is now in the universe, above the sun.

The star in front of us is constantly releasing light and heat through nuclear fusion. Violent high-energy particles release energy storms, and electromagnetic bursts propel countless charged particles toward the outer reaches of the sun, forming the solar wind.

The boundless sea of ​​light and flames formed a terrifying world of fire, devoid of any life.

But now, an incomparably powerful life has arrived in this forbidden zone of life.

Duanmu Lian strolled casually through the sun, her vision filled with endless flames and seas of fire, as well as various forms of radiation, high-energy particles, and super magnetic storms raging and erupting on the sun's surface, forming energy storms.

He used only 500,000 horsepower of magnetic field power to ignore all the negative effects of the sun on him.

Even without magnetic field power, he can still survive on the sun.

"Sizzle—!"

A dazzling flash of lightning suddenly appeared, but it was not a magnetic field or lightning. Instead, it was the soul of Duanmu Lian, which was more powerful than celestial stars, bursting forth with a soul thought that exploded in the void, forming a mirrored extradimensional space with a diameter of one kilometer.

He took out three items from his spatial ring: a chilling book of hell, an ancient scroll, and a calligraphy brush.

Duanmu Lian first unfurled the scroll, and as it slowly unfolded, a strange scroll resembling an ancient Chinese painting was revealed.

Its interior seems to contain the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, flowers, trees, birds, and beasts... The scenery in the painting looks so small, yet it seems to have everything.

This is a magical artifact called the "Map of Mountains and Rivers," which comes from the world of "Ne Zha."

The magical weapon that complements her is the "Pointing Out the Landscape Brush" that Duanmu Lian holds in her other hand.

The "Landscape of Mountains and Rivers" is a world unto itself, and the "Pointing Out the Landscape" brush, like Ma Liang's magic brush, can freely paint within this world.

As for the other book, it is a phantom book called the Book of Hell, which records and describes what the underworld and hell are like.

So what does he want to do?

It's very simple; he wants to create a Netherworld plane that can accommodate souls.

There is no concept of an afterlife in this world.

After death, the soul returns to the natural world, and is then reborn through natural life.

This world has now become a breeding ground for Duanmu Lian and Tokisaki Kurumi, specifically for harvesting faith and vitality.

To create the underworld, one must control the coming and going of all souls.

He had long planned to spread the vital energy, but one harvest was not enough. If he died in this life, there would be another life, and if he died in the next life, there would naturally be another life.

To continuously harvest her own vital energy, Duanmu Lian needs the underworld dimension.

"call----!"

Duanmu Lian activated the Seven Treasures Breathing Technique, which combined the profound and mysterious power of the Nine Breaths Breathing Technique, and began to absorb the energy of the sun on a large scale, converting it into supernatural power that she could control.

Then, he opened the Book of Hell, and a map of mountains and rivers floated before his eyes. In another hand, he held a brush and began to paint.

He depicted the scenes of hell and the underworld on the "Map of Mountains and Rivers".

Each time he puts pen to paper and creates a picture, it requires him to expend a tremendous amount of energy.

If he were to paint on Earth, with each breath he exhales, he would devour all life essence, causing a catastrophic mass extinction.

However, on the Sun, a star containing immense energy, there is no need for such concerns.

"alright......"

After finishing the painting, Duanmu Lian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the hellish scene on the scroll.

At this moment, within the landscape painting, a netherworld has been created.

After creating a Netherworld plane, Duanmu Lian put down the Pointing-at-the-World Brush in her hand and directly reached into the hellish map before her.

In an instant, the portrait on the scroll began to shrink at Duanmu Lian's wrist.

The hellish map quickly disappeared, and the landscape returned to what it was originally depicted on the map of mountains and rivers.

Finally, when Duanmu Lian pulled his hand out, a deep, dark purple crystal appeared in his hand, and the dark, deathly underworld flashed by within the crystal.

This crystal contains the Netherworld plane.

"The next step is to distort the rules of reality and embed the plane into the laws of heaven and earth."

After finishing all this, Duanmu Lian put away the Book of Hell, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and the Pointing-at-the-Fields Brush, and then looked at the celestial body in front of her that resembled Earth.
