Warhammer: Empire Reboot

[Current physical body level: Peak Primal Body.]

Lawson clenched his fist slightly, and the surrounding space distorted slightly as his five fingers came together.

This body no longer needs to be measured by "how many times stronger than the elite of Katachon".

Lawson's normal physical body directly entered the peak of the Primal Body level.

Even without using psionic powers, black hole projections, or swarm intelligence, he was capable of fighting top Primarchs head-on with his physical body alone.

The tips for swarm intelligence continue.

[Linear reinforcement loop activation.]

[For every unit of subspace energy purified or utilized by the main body, both the physical body and the soul will receive a permanent, fixed-proportion enhancement.]

[The system is based on cumulative energy throughput and is not affected by the current balance.]

The enhancement process is completed automatically; no manual allocation is required.

The seventh leap changed the way it grows.

From now on, any subspace energy that passes through his system will leave behind a small amount of power during the flow.

This power will be permanently integrated into his physical body and soul, continuously enhancing him.

As long as the Dark Side of the Empire continues to hunt demons, and as long as warp energy continues to flow in, it will continue to strengthen itself.

As for where the ultimate limit is, even the bee colony hasn't provided an answer.

Lawson is very much looking forward to it.

Immediately afterwards, a deeper change came from the deepest part of my soul.

[The accumulation of divine essence in the main body has reached a critical value.]

[Fragments of the Primarch Godhood: Three.]

[High-level demonic essence: Several.]

[Imperial Gold and Fire: Stable.]

[Divine Resonance with the Goddess of Life: Stable.]

[Swarm loyalty indicates: achieving cohesion requirements.]

[The main independent divine essence begins to condense.]

Deep within Lawson's consciousness, fragments of divine essence left behind by Angron, Mortalian, and Forgrim simultaneously surfaced.

As soon as the three conflicting divine aspects drew near, golden fire ignited from the center.

Isa’s life essence, which had remained within Lawson for so long, unfolded, like countless emerald green threads, re-weaving the purified divine material.

In swarm intelligence, billions of nodes resonate at the same instant.

The foundational sequences, combat sequences, overlord nodes, and the army, factories, and fleets of the Empire's dark side all direct their consciousness toward the same center.

Divinity slowly took shape within this power.

[Divine Core: Dominator.]

[Initial Authority: Domination, Assimilation, Evolution.]

[The prototype of the Dual-Phase Overlord Godhood has been successfully formed.]

A dark golden divine spark appeared deep within Lawson's soul.

Half of it sank into subspace.

The origins of the Primarch, the Imperial Flame, Isa's life divinity, and the shared direction of the Swarm Consciousness form the basis of this part of the divinity.

The other half is firmly rooted in the real universe.

The New Human-Dominator type's physical body, black hole projection, and matter nodes scattered throughout various galaxies together maintain its existence in reality.

[Subspace Divinity Structure: Initial Formation.]

[Realistic Godhood Structure: Anchoring complete, core missing.]

[Real-world weight has been increased.]

[Soulless target modeling function activated.]

[The black hole projection has been successfully connected to the real-world divine anchor point.]

[The war zone's brain has been upgraded to become the dominant node.]

[The production cap for combat sequences has been increased to 340,000.]

The seventh basal cell transition has been completed.

[Current Life Template: New Human - Dominator Type.]

[Current physical form: Peak Primal level, and continues to increase linearly with the amount of subspace energy throughput.]

[Warning: The reality structure of the dual-dominant deity is not yet complete.]

[The eighth leap requires 10 billion points of subspace energy.]

[Additional requirement: Capture and analyze a core of the divine nature of the real universe.]

Recommended target: Star God Fragments.

The dark golden light in the main hall slowly receded.

The entire upgrade process is now complete.

Lawson glanced at the time.

From confirmation to completion, less than a minute had passed.

His appearance has hardly changed.

Height, build, and facial features are exactly the same as before the upgrade.

Only when Lawson consciously perceives it can he discover the immense power contained within this seemingly normal human body.

The magnitude of this increase is far more exaggerated than it appears on the surface.

The normal physical abilities of Newtypes are close to those of Astartes recruits, and their combat ranks will receive a seven-fold overall combat enhancement based on the Newtype template.

This means that the existing combat sequences also need to be upgraded.

Lawson immediately issued instructions to the swarm network.

[All existing battle sequences are now entering the template update sequence.]

The original human population is gradually being replaced by new humans.

The overall enhancement standard has been raised to seven times that of the New Human template.

[This must not disrupt the operation of existing theater commands and should be carried out in accordance with the rotation order.]

The Empire's dark side now covers an ever-expanding territory, and the additional 130,000 slots will allow each major war zone to have a high-end mobile force.

Having dealt with the battle sequence issue, Lawson turned his attention back to the eighth jump requirement.

It's a fragment of a star god!

At the end of the War of Heaven, the Necromancers betrayed the Star Gods, shattering the gods of the real universe and imprisoning them in the Hypercube Labyrinth and Living Metal, using them as weapons of war.

Fragments of celestial beings such as the Void Dragon, Nightbringer, and Deceiver still exist today, controlled and manipulated by different dynasties.

Lawson instructed the bees to gather relevant intelligence.

A few seconds later, several targets appeared on the light screen.

Deep within the Noctis Labyrinth on Mars, the headquarters of the Cult of Mechanics, lies a top-secret network of information related to the Void Dragons.

The collector Taraxin's control of Solemnas may also imprison fragments of the Star God.

Some large-scale Necromancer dynasties in space will seal away fragments of the Star God within the Crown World, the Tomb Core, or the Hypercube Labyrinth, releasing them as destructive weapons when necessary.

The fragments of the Void Dragon are particularly noteworthy.

These fragments of the Star God can manipulate machinery and matter, harness black stone energy, and even devour the material essence of destroyed vehicles.

However, none of these goals were easy to achieve.

Lawson did not rush to make a decision; he always preferred to make backup plans.

"Establish a special intelligence team for Star God fragments."

"Simultaneously investigate Mars, Solemnas, and known space necropolis dynasties."

"Don't just focus on these places."

"There must be unrecorded tomb worlds and runaway fragments in the galaxy. Let's use multiple approaches to find them first."

The command was transmitted to the swarm network, and countless intelligence nodes began to operate.

An hour later, the gates of the Royal Court slowly opened.

Isa and Ilancia walked into the hall side by side.

The two had just crossed the threshold when their gazes fell simultaneously on the throne.

Lawson was still wearing that loose black casual clothes.

But when he sat there, the whole hall seemed to quiet down a bit.

Ilancia couldn't discern any specific changes, only that the man on the throne was more composed than an hour ago, like the unfathomable surface of the sea.

Isa felt more.

She is the goddess of life, and is very perceptive of changes in flesh, soul, and divinity.

After the initial surprise came an undisguised joy.

She walked straight to the throne, the hem of her long dress trailing lightly over the black stone steps.

Isa stood between Lawson's legs, stretched out one hand, and placed her palm on his chest.

Emerald green light shone from her fingertips.

"You've become stronger."

Isa nestled into his arms, the divine light in her eyes gradually softening, until only a woman's gentleness and attachment remained.
