"For the survival of humanity?"

"What a high-sounding excuse!"

Alexander stared at Clement, who was pinned to the spot, and said in a deep voice:

"You just think you're old and nearing your end, so you want to achieve immortality by using the body of a mechanical Eldar! Stop using all of humanity as a shield; it's all just your selfish desire to live and your fear of death!!"

Alexander longed to smash this damned heretic with his hammer!

But he stubbornly held back.

That's too lenient on Clement. He should be allowed to die slowly in endless pain and regret.

"Elendina..." Alexander turned to the daughter of the God-Emperor beside him, "Hand this old bastard over to me. I will use the methods of the Inquisition to make him understand the price of betraying the God-Emperor!"

Elena calmly raised her hand, then stared at Clement and asked in a cold voice:

"You just said... what exactly do you mean by the curse that psychic energy attracts dimensional evil?"

Clement looked deeply at Elena and slowly began to speak:

"Psionic energy is not something that originally existed in the spirit world. It originated from the universe where the Creator beings reside, and it is the medium through which the Creator beings invaded the real universe! The so-called awakening of psionic energy is nothing more than lighting a torch in the darkness."

"The stronger you are, the brighter your torch, the easier it is to attract the attention of creatures that are weak to you, and the easier it is to... hear their delirious murmurs!"

"Nonsense!" Leonard took a step forward and shouted angrily, "I've fought my way to the peak of the ninth rank, how come I've never heard any of that bullshit? Nor have I seen any tentacle-like monsters even bothering to look at me?!"

Clement glanced at Leonard and said calmly:

"That's because you're not strong enough!!"

"There is a solid dimensional barrier between the spirit world and the Kree universe. If you haven't reached the threshold of being half a demigod, those Kree beings can't sense you at all, let alone utter any 'talk's' at you..."

At this point, Clement sighed: "But once you reach the level of a half-god, the whispers that directly affect the depths of the soul are simply impossible to resist!"

Even a powerful god like the Emperor was utterly corrupted! His reason was gradually eroded, his mind twisted bit by bit... and finally, he degenerated into a monster...

"To become the physical vessel for those evil gods of the Cthulhu who descend upon our universe!"

Hearing this, Lin Hui raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to himself:

"This is pretty much what Bai Ling guessed..."

"So the psionic superpower system has this pitfall? Are there also pitfalls in the player specialization system or the monster extraordinary system?"

At this moment, Clement took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Once that evil god descends, all life on the planet Torres will be wiped out!"

Upon hearing this, Leonard, Elena, and Asamen all gasped in unison.

The prophecy left by the God Emperor did indeed mention that the empire would fall into an unprecedented crisis!

Is this it?

At this moment, Chief Technician Otto couldn't help but speak up.

"Since you knew the God-Emperor was corrupted, why didn't you choose to cooperate with us to purify His Highness? Instead, you leaked the secret to the Mechanical Spirit Race?"

Otto knew perfectly well that the so-called "purification ritual" was just a scheme by Elena to lure him into a trap.

But he just couldn't swallow this insult; he had to use those words to refute Clement.

Clement shook his head and said, "Even if it could truly purify, it would only grant temporary clarity!"

"From the moment the God-Emperor was stared at by the evil god of the Cthulhu, there was no turning back! You have no idea just how terrifying the evil god of the Cthulhu is!"

"The God-Emperor's brief awakening will not only fail to change the outcome, but will also ruin the rescue plan I reached with the Mechanical Eldar! Who can guarantee when He will fall again? A day? A month? As long as He completely loses control within the Empire's territory, the Empire's people are doomed!"

"So you became a dog?!" Otto pointed at Clement's nose and yelled, "All of this was told to you by the Eldar, wasn't it? Didn't you ever suspect that you were just being deceived and brainwashed by the Eldar from beginning to end?!"

“I know you don’t believe me,” Clement murmured, his eyelids slightly lowered. “But one day, when tentacles blot out the sky, when the earth turns to rotting flesh, you will find… that I was right.”

"Even if you're right, so what?!"

Alexander interrupted him sharply, saying in a deep voice, "You are still a heretic who has betrayed the faith! I believe in His Majesty the God-Emperor, the ruler of Torres! He will surely awaken, will surely defeat the evil gods of the Krishnamurti, and lead us to destroy all heretics!"

Clement looked up at Alexander and suddenly asked, "Alexander, do you know about the Eldar... what their predecessor was?"

Before anyone could answer, Clement began to speak to himself:

"It's the Eldar!"

"They are the most gifted psionic race in this universe! All of them are psionicists, and at their glorious peak, the race even boasted five True God-level beings! They are one of the overlords of all races in the universe!"

"But this powerful race was suddenly targeted by the evil god of the Kryptonian system one day. They were almost wiped out!"

"In order to survive, they had to abandon their souls and bodies, uploading their consciousness into living metal, thus becoming the mechanical spirit race we know today!"

At this point, Clement looked at everyone and said with a wry smile, "The God-Emperor is very strong, but no matter how strong He is, He is still only a demigod! Even the Spirit Race, which has five true gods, lost. Do you think... we can win?!"

The entire room fell into a long silence once again.

Clement turned his gaze to Elena and said:

"More than twenty years ago, Tutankhamun, the chief engineer of the Mechanical Eldar, had already informed the God-Emperor of this truth. But the God-Emperor had already been corrupted, yet he still chose to forcibly ascend to demigod status! He himself brought disaster upon the Empire..."

"Now, catastrophe is about to descend..."

"Only when Sauron, the overlord of the mechanical Eldar, awakens; only when we abandon these flesh and blood bodies; only when humanity is transformed into soulless machines, can we survive!"

"Tutankhamun has inscribed the terms of my cooperation with the Mechanical Eldar into their core, fundamental protocol! They will help us achieve 'Mechanical Ascension,' and we will become their eternal allies in a completely new life form!"

Clement stared intently at Elendina: "Elendina, you are of the God-Emperor's bloodline. You should be making amends for the mistakes the God-Emperor made back then..."
