Silence fell over the hall once again.

The Divine Emperor's avatar turned his head and stared at Lin Hui:

"After spending this time together, I am convinced that you are the black mech foretold in the original prophecy. The future of the empire, the survival of this planet, rests on your shoulders!"

Lin Hui exhaled a breath of stale air and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Senior Divine Emperor, I will do my best!"

Once that true god-level projection of the evil god of the Khrushchev lineage truly descends, no one will be spared. Helping the Torres Empire is also helping himself.

At that time, not only the natives of Torres, but even he himself would not be able to escape unscathed from this catastrophe!

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.

Only by integrating all forces and working together can we carve out a bloody path!

The Divine Emperor's avatar nodded slightly:

"If the Empire truly survives this catastrophe, you will rightfully become the new 'Lord of Torres'."

"Huh?" Lin Hui was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

The Divine Emperor's avatar said calmly, "Don't underestimate this title; it's by no means an ordinary one. Do you know... why I established a state religion and made hundreds of millions of people believe in me?"

Lin Hui asked, "Why?"

The God Emperor's avatar turned his gaze to the window and slowly said, "All of this is in preparation for advancing to demigodhood."

"The moment I obtained the power of 'omnipotence,' I sensed that the power contained the ultimate madness and indescribable ravings."

"Any living being that desires to embrace authority will confront this madness and corruption. If, during advancement, there are not enough 'anchors' to anchor one's self-awareness, one will utterly degenerate into an out-of-control monster."

"And the millions of devout believers are the strongest anchor!"

Hearing this, Lin Hui frowned slightly.

This seemed to contradict his common knowledge about "advancing to demigod".

Back in the Misty Lands, he personally witnessed the Zerg Queen Alicia's ascension to demigodhood.

Although the Nameless Mist ultimately dealt her a severe blow, causing her cultivation level to drop, her advancement process didn't seem complicated, and she didn't appear to need any believer anchors.

The Zerg were almost extinct back then, so where would they get anchors?

There's also Little Blue, the "Time Bird Egg" he keeps in the RV's incubator. Once Little Blue hatches, it will be born as a demigod.

Even if Little Blue is special and incomparable, what about the Queen?

Based on the connection between master and servant, Lin Hui knew that the incarnation of the God Emperor before him was not lying to him.

So what exactly happened?

So he recounted how the Queen had been promoted to demigod.

After listening, the Divine Emperor's avatar also fell into a brief state of contemplation.

"Among the myriad races of the universe, each possesses unique racial talents. The Zerg Queen you speak of... I have no idea how she accomplished that."

The God Emperor's avatar analyzed, "Perhaps it's due to her exceptional racial talent, or perhaps she paid a price you have no idea about, or perhaps her authority is rather special."

"Unfortunately, I am currently only an avatar. If it were my true self, with my omnipotent authority, perhaps I could know the secrets within."

The God-Emperor avatar turned around and continued, "But in any case, becoming the Lord of Torres and collecting the faith of billions of humans will only benefit your future path."

"Of course, in order for the faith to perfectly belong to you, the Empire will have to carry out a religious reform. You can't be called Lord of Torres; you must have a completely new name and new sculptures."

"Speaking of which, the Mechanicus has been spreading rumors about my fall into monster form, which has caused panic, but it has also done me a favor. When the time comes, this will be a convenient excuse to get the Empire's citizens to convert..."

No wonder Elendina didn't take any strong measures when the people of the Empire discussed the God Emperor's fall into monster... Did she think the same way?

Thinking about this, Lin Hui couldn't help but sigh.

For the sake of the empire and the continuation of humanity, the God-Emperor was even willing to tarnish his own reputation.

He paused, then said frankly, "Senior God Emperor, if this crisis can truly be resolved, according to the rules, I will also enter the next instance world. The Torres Empire will ultimately need you to continue protecting it."

The Divine Emperor's avatar sighed:

"My true form has been targeted by an evil god. My body and soul have been corrupted, and I can no longer transform back into the god-emperor who protects humanity."

"Unless..." The God-Emperor's avatar shook his head, "unless someone can obliterate that evil god, but that's simply impossible. I even suspect that the opponent's rank is more than just a True God!"

"Who can predict the future?" Lin Hui said with a smile.

The Divine Emperor's avatar shook his head, then suddenly seemed to remember something and reminded him:

"Regarding your attempt to seize the Mechanical Heart, there's one more thing you must be aware of. The mechanical Eldar battleship's armor uses an absurdly high level of living metal. Back then, even I, a near-demigod, couldn't break through its defenses!"

Lin Hui wrote it down, and then asked a question in return:

"Senior God-Emperor, shouldn't Sauron's attack methods all fall under the category of physical technology?"

The God Emperor's avatar nodded and said, "Yes! They have abandoned their bodies and souls, completely shielded themselves from spiritual energy, and developed technology to its ultimate limit."

"Then there's no problem."

A slight smile appeared on Lin Hui's lips.

Anything related to physics and technology will do!

He is least afraid of physical attacks!

His physical defense has always far exceeded his magic resistance.

Although his dual resistances are both insane, compared to his magic resistance, his physical defense is simply an unreasonable bug.

Back when the RV was at Tier 9, its physical defense was 15, which was enough to ignore the "Antimatter Main Cannon" on the Mech Eldar destroyer!

Once he activates [Deus Ex], his physical defense will skyrocket to 480 million!!!

What does 480 million physical defense mean?

Lin Hui had no intuitive understanding of just how powerful the attacks of the Mechanical Spirit Race at the half-step demigod level were.

But it's absolutely impossible to kill him in one blow!

not to mention......

Lin Hui was certain that Soren would never dare to make a move lightly!

Now that the projection of the evil god of the Kreece is about to descend, that overlord Sauron has been dreaming of collecting energy to repair the fragments of the Star God and regain his demigod power. How could he possibly waste energy for a mere mechanical heart?

Whether or not He can be killed is another matter, but the cost is something He absolutely cannot afford!

With this in mind, Lin Hui felt more confident about his "zero-yuan purchase" plan.

Regardless, Lin Hui was determined to have this mechanical heart!

Even God couldn't stop it!

Subsequently, Lin Hui instructed Zhen Haoyun to pilot a black fighter jet to pick up the God Emperor's avatar.

With a thought, he vanished from his spot and returned to the alternate dimension.
