Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

Aglaia's lips were pursed tightly. She didn't interrupt everyone's excitement, but simply placed her hand gently on her chest, feeling the pulse there, clearer than ever before.

[Wan Di: ...Hmph, since you can live, then stop talking nonsense and focus on saving your life. We can talk about the rest later.]

[Haiserin: Wan Di, your voice is trembling.]

【Wan Di: ...I didn't.】

[Crydella: I never imagined that after countless cycles of reincarnation, such a day would actually come. Onpharos, in the near future, will surely stand alone among the stars.]

[Aglaia: If that day ever comes, let's open a tailor shop, Sefalia. Would you be my first customer?]

[Sai Fei'er: Hmph... I'm very busy, very busy... very busy...]

[Aglaia: Free knitting.]

[Saifei: Go, I'm going to your tailor shop!]

The atmosphere was just right, and the Golden Generation was immersed in their anticipation for the future, when some untimely comments poured in like cold water.

[Senate Elder: Hmph, you're all celebrating too soon. This man's origins are unknown, he's allied with the Omnics, and even carries several so-called destinies. How do you know his so-called reappearance isn't just another form of enslavement? Entrusting the future of Onphalus to such an outsider is something we, the Senate, simply cannot agree to!]

[Senate - Another Elder: Indeed! Moreover, why did he only back up the data of the Golden Clan? Should the countless civilians of Onphalus be sacrificed and forgotten? They too are living, breathing beings! Are their existence insignificant?]

[Kenneth: That's right! We demand a backup of everyone's data! Otherwise, this is a scam!]

[Kenneth: Why should everyone else die, but you all get to...]

As soon as the Senate's comments appeared, the Golden Descendants' channel fell silent for a moment.

Before anyone on the Huanyu side voices their objections...

[Crydella: The Senate? Are they tired of living?]

【Cerudela: Sword Banner Lord, take her down.】

[Haiserin: Yes.]

With a swift and decisive movement, the words spoken a second ago were uttered and the head severed the next. Heather's actions were swift and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

The senators, who had been quite active, immediately fell silent upon seeing this.

No... what do you mean by "just talking nonsense"? You guys are really going to kill me!!!

"Wait...wait..."

"Spare our lives! We don't want to die! We won't say anything more...!!!"

Kerudela looked down at the people in the Senate and sneered.

"Just because Jin Zhi showed mercy doesn't mean I'll forgive you."

"If Onpharos is truly unable to go global because of your words, then you will be the sinners of Onpharos. Take action!"

Heather nodded slightly: "Yes, Caesar."

Krydella dealt with internal matters, while Aglaia made emergency amends for Onpharos's attitude towards Jiang Jiu.

Death Line: Emperor III: Jiang Jiu, 1

(Timeline: Final chapter of the second terminal line.)

......

What if you can't do it?

What if it hadn't died?

The Black Tower Doll poked its head out of Jiang Jiu's pocket, staring at the Iron Tomb opposite them. It gritted its teeth and said, "...What are you doing! If you can't beat them, just leave! Give me the coordinates, I'll come help you—"

"Black Tower".

Amidst the vast ocean of data swirling around her, she heard Jiang Jiu's extremely soft, soothing voice.

"See you tomorrow."

Black Tower: "...?!"

The little doll fell to the ground from mid-air, watching helplessly as Jiang Jiu's body was broken down into countless data streams, with only one thought flashing through its mind.

Is there really a tomorrow?

Black Tower certainly knew what Jiang Jiu was doing.

The disaster level of the Iron Tomb was beyond the capacity of any Envoy-level person to handle. In order to deal with this disaster, Jiang Jiu chose to personally intervene and merge with the Iron Tomb, defining the disaster of the Iron Tomb as being at the level of an Emperor's War.

Her gaze fell upon the coordinates, and without hesitation, she propelled a spaceship to the point of contact.

According to common sense...

Jiang Jiu's actions may lead to two possibilities. First, if Jiang Jiu's consciousness can briefly take over, he can directly control the situation and drag everything into the abyss of nothingness, completing a thorough reckoning.

But what if the line of defense is breached...?

The world may be about to face an emperor unlike any other...

However, regardless of the final outcome, this crisis will be forcibly reclassified as part of the Imperial War.

When the Black Tower itself arrived at the scene, the forces of nothingness and destruction were locked in a fierce battle, and the Imperial Scepter itself had already been decomposed into pure fragments and debris.

Chaos, brutality.

Black Tower looked at the constantly flashing crimson warning sign on the screen and gritted his teeth.

"warn!"

"The regional destiny energy threshold continues to rise!"

"Preliminary test results"

"Destruction, knowledge."

Black Tower stood at the edge of the scepter's remains, staring at the glaring red text on the screen, his fingers hovering above the keyboard, hesitant to touch it.

Destruction, intellect...? Why are only these two paths of destiny remaining?

What about the most domineering nothingness...? Jiang Jiu has traveled so far on the path of nothingness, how could he not have any remnants of nothingness?

But that's the reality; in that instant, all the data crashed.

She took a deep breath and pulled up another set of data.

Vital signs detected... None.

Mental strength threshold... reset to zero.

Lines of cold data appeared on the screen, and Black Tower's eyes trembled, his voice shaking.

"...You're lying to me."

Her voice was so soft that even she couldn't hear it.

fraud.

Black Tower's fingers twitched, then he slammed down the communication button.

“Screw Gum.” Her voice was terrifyingly calm. “The Imperial Scepter has gone out of control. I need backup.”

"I have reached the outer edge of the coordinates and detected that the area's fate is severely exceeded. I suggest you temporarily leave the combat zone." Screw's voice was as calm as ever, and very clear. "The unit you are using is not a combat unit. Please return."

The Black Tower uses Screw Goom's spaceship. The moment the spaceship arrives at the Imperial Scepter and the life force energy becomes so concentrated that it issues a warning, the scepter's situation is reported to all parties.

Screw Gum understood what had happened almost instantly. While heading to the Emperor's Scepter, he sent the information and coordinates to various factions. These events occurred simultaneously, and it took less than half a second to process them.

"What about Jiang Jiu?" Black Tower interrupted.

Screw Gum was quiet for a moment.

“Hei Ta, you know very well that he is not Jiang Jiu.”

From the moment Jiang Jiu chose to merge with the Iron Tomb... he was no longer Jiang Jiu.

Whether he succeeds or not, he is unlikely to be the one to survive.

The surrounding forces of destiny were too frenzied, and the Black Tower had no means to counter them for the time being. It could only temporarily restrain him and keep him under control in this area.

Communication from various forces gradually came through.

Everyone is really numb.

To be honest, if it were just an Emperor, it might only require paying a certain price to eliminate it, at most resulting in an Omnic riot with considerable casualties, just like the two previous Emperor Wars.

but......

You mean a unique Third Commander, who has traveled a great distance on the Void Path, merged with the Iron Tomb, and ascended to become Emperor III? Holding the Anti-Organic Equation in his left hand and the Void Divine Power in his right, preparing to massacre the universe?

You're crazy, I'm crazy, are you really not kidding?

While it's certainly a downgrade compared to the Iron Tomb, isn't it an upgrade for Jiang Jiu?

Before his promotion, there were few who could beat him; now, he's even worse off. Haha, let's all die together...

"Black Tower, I need to remind you."

The gurgling sound of the screw was slightly disturbed by the electric current, but it still remained steady.

"According to real-time analysis, the Iron Tomb is using the remains of the Emperor's Scepter as a medium to reconstruct its logical foundation. Once the Iron Tomb has completely overwritten Jiang Jiu's consciousness, it will obtain a complete mobile terminal with the triple destiny characteristics of intelligence, destruction, and nothingness."

"At that time, it will no longer be a creation of the imperial scepter, but a walking, thinking, and far more terrifying thing..."

Emperor III

"Can he be killed?" Black Tower interrupted him.

There was a noticeable pause on the screw-gum side.

"Logically, Emperor III is a composite being, not a purely inorganic life form. Destroying his core...theoretically, could end him, but the key is that you must first get close to him."

“Furthermore,” Screws said calmly, “Black Tower, you should evacuate the war zone immediately.”

"The anti-organic equation has a special interference effect on omnics. I am here and cannot provide you with any effective support. I might even become an accelerant for it, and your ship is also..."

“I know,” Black Tower interrupted him, his voice chillingly calm as he stared intently at the blurry silhouette. “You leave. Give me the authority, and have them contact me directly for any follow-up support.”

"Black Tower..."

"go!"
