Warhammer: Empire Reboot

Lawson also fulfilled his wish from back then.

Using the Emperor himself as the causal anchor, he traced back to the path to godhood that the Emperor had voluntarily abandoned ten thousand years ago, and locked onto the possible projection left behind by the Dark Lord deep in the warp.

That thing was never born, yet it had already left a sufficiently complete divine trace in the highest heaven.

The emperor reverted to the state of ascension he had once been in, drawing it out of the causal structure.

Subsequently, Lawson sealed off the spatial and temporal coordinates.

The two worked together to kill him.

[Achieve Qualified Divinity: Lord of Darkness]

Thus, another spot for the Eight Extremes Godhood fell into the hands of Lawson.

But the changes brought about by the ancient sacred heritage go far beyond these.

Over the course of ten years, UR-025, Void Dragon, Mechanicus, and the Imperial STC system have continuously analyzed the network engineering technology.

The Empire began repairing abandoned nodes, reinforcing damaged channels, and proactively opening new network branches between important star sectors.

More and more star systems are being connected to this ancient hyperspace transportation network.

Static force fields are responsible for emergency delivery.

The network is responsible for long-term, large-scale transportation of personnel and materials.

The journeys to the Milky Way that used to take months or even years are being continuously compressed.

The galactic transportation system left behind by the ancient sages is being taken over by the empires of the new era.

The Necromancers in space also voluntarily handed over a batch of strategic assets.

Those fragments of the Star Gods, which were sealed in the deepest part of the tomb world by various dynasties and used as energy and weapons of war, were successively sent to the Palace of the Seal Bearers.

Lawson devoured it all.

One after another, the cores of reality and divinity were fused together.

His mastery of the laws governing mass, gravity, energy, space, and matter continues to deepen.

On the other hand, Slaanesh had not forgotten the deal they made years ago.

She did indeed find the nine Star God fragments from the rift between reality and the subspace, and delivered them all to Lawson as agreed.

After completing the devouring once again, Lawson could no longer be measured by the standards of an ordinary star god.

In terms of power and authority in the real universe alone, he has long surpassed any complete star god of that time.

The power of the Star Gods, the technology of the Ancient Saints, the legacy of the Golden Age.

The industrial systems of the Necromancers, Wotans, Eldar, Tau, and the Mechanicus.

These legacies, once scattered among different civilizations, are now converging within the framework of a single empire.

The pace of development of the human empire is becoming increasingly unlike that of a normal civilization.

……

Three hundred years have passed.

For ordinary people, this is enough for a family to reproduce for more than ten generations.

For the entire galaxy, it was like a transition from the old to the new.

The subspace catastrophe that had plagued humanity for tens of thousands of years has finally come to an end.

The black hole in the highest heavens, as described by Lawson, is no longer the small thing with a diameter of only a dozen kilometers.

For three hundred years, it has never stopped growing.

War, desire, fear, despair, hatred, jealousy.

The pain caused by illness.

The cries of anguish that arise when a civilization is destroyed.

In the past, once these emotions reached a certain intensity, they would flow into the heavens through the natural connection between the soul and the subspace, converging into an increasingly turbid tide of emotions.

The Four Gods continued to grow stronger by relying on these things.

But things are different now.

Around the black hole of Lawson, an emotion accretion system spanning countless regions of subspace has been formed.

The intense negative emotions emanating from the Milky Way will be drawn into the highest heavens as soon as they enter.

The closer one's emotions are to the authority of the Four Gods, the stronger the pull they receive.

It eventually fell into the black hole.

No civilization has been able to calculate exactly how much energy was diverted during this period.

But the result is clear to everyone.

The four gods began to weaken.

Initially, it was just that the divine realm stopped expanding, and then the number of demons decreased.

After that, even the divine will that was once able to cover several star systems in the subspace began to shrink.

Khorne can no longer reliably draw power from every war in the galaxy as it once could.

The Grudge Gardens continued to wither.

Tzeentch’s countless tributaries of fate have lost sufficient psionic support.

Slaanesh was the first to accept reality, after all, she had already bought herself a ticket three hundred years ago.

The four gods certainly rebelled.

But the empire of today is not the same as the empire of three hundred years ago.

Even at their strongest, the Four Gods couldn't kill Lawson.

Now, having been cut off from food supplies for three hundred years, there is no chance at all.

Thus, the war began to come to an end.

The first to die was Khorne, then Nurgle.

Tzeentch delayed for a long time by relying on countless forks in the road of fate.

The last one is Slaanesh.

One by one, the four gods lost their divine domains.

His divine status was stripped away by Lawson.

The subspace structures belonging to them are swallowed by the black hole and then released again.

Eight independent god-level deities were detected.

[War Godhood]

[Cunning Godhead]

[Mechanical Innovation Godhood]

The Godhood of the Dark Lord

[Godhood of War and Slaughter]

[The Divinity of Decay and the Cycle of Life]

[Change and Destiny]

[Desire and Ultimate Divinity]

[Eight Extremes Divine Essence Collection Complete: 8/8]

Immediately afterwards, another set of numbers appeared.

[Pure Subspace Origin Energy: Meets Requirements]

[All conditions for the ninth final life leap have been met]

[Should we begin the leap?]

"start."

At that moment, both the real universe and the subspace experienced a slight tremor.

Lawson's divine status in reality began to expand.

Eight subspace divine cores were simultaneously integrated into the Sovereign God Realm.

All concepts were stripped of the personal imprints left by the original gods, becoming mere subspace rules.

[The Eight Extremes Divine Ranks Have Been Unified]

[Real sovereignty has been elevated to a higher level]

[The Sovereign God Realm has completed its dimensional ascension]

[Reality-Warspace Permanent Two-Way Mapping Upgraded to Highest Level]

[The Ninth Ultimate Life Leap Completed]

[Life Level: Supreme Ruler]

Lawson opened his eyes.

He can no longer be simply understood as a person, or even as a god.

He is more like a coordinate rooted in both the real universe and the highest heaven.

As long as these two worlds exist, Lawson exists.

The High Heaven did not disappear because of the death of the four gods.

On the contrary, it became unusually calm.

The soul can still be projected here.

Emotions can still fluctuate.

However, those high-concentration negative emotions that could form uncontrollable divine pollution will be intercepted by the black hole before they accumulate to a sufficient scale.
