The Warrior of Love

It’s a long story, but in reality only a moment passed. When the eight pillars fell to the ground, a powerful force field suddenly expanded and included the flaming sphere.

Just a moment of being absorbed——

"boom!!"

The exploding red lotus should have swept away everything, but now it encountered the Eight Diagrams of the Second Generation. The flames that had nowhere to vent all entered the Gate of Life and poured out like a flood, heading exactly towards the sub-servant holding the shield!

"Drink-"

Seeing this, Mashu released the True Name of the Noble Phantasm without hesitation.

“The ideal city is still far away!”

The hazy chalk city appeared in the divine light, and was hit head-on by the raging fire that could burn everything...

Chapter 980: Immortal: The First Emperor

...After a long time, the crimson fire gradually subsided, and the indestructible chalk city was not broken after all. Mashu once again successfully protected her master.

"Great and Good Teacher... What a pity."

Wei Qing paused his fight with Kuaiji Zero, his eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of regret in his tone.

"Although they are not heroes born in the Empire, they are also fighting for the people of the world and His Majesty the Emperor. They are naturally our compatriots...

However, we haven't even spoken a few words to him, and don't even know what kind of person he is.

But his sacrifice will not be in vain, this battle will ultimately be a victory for the Empire!"

Even though he lost his great and virtuous teacher, Wei Qing did not lose confidence. As a general who had worked his way up from the bottom, he had experienced many battlefields that were even more dangerous than the current one. It was just that the balance of combat power began to become unbalanced, and it was far from being a desperate situation!

Mashu put away her treasure, and the sweaty sub-servant girl almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Ritsuka ran over quickly and supported her. It was obvious that this sub-servant had almost lost her fighting ability.

"The situation is critical now. Even without the Emperor's permission, we must make a decision."

Han Xin walked up to Wei Qing and said, "General, activate the Terracotta Warriors!"

Wei Qing glanced at him, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, but it soon turned into determination.

"it is good!"

The so-called "Terracotta Warriors" originally referred to the burial objects in the tomb of the First Emperor. Replacing the sacrificial victims with terracotta warriors was considered a benevolent policy.

At the same time, it was also to satisfy the First Emperor's collecting hobby, to show that even in the kingdom of the dead, he was still a king commanding millions of soldiers.

Although the First Emperor in the Lostbelt is not dead, according to tradition, the emperor's mausoleum is built long before his death, in case there is a day when it is too late to prepare...

This was especially true for the First Emperor. After all, he was particularly interested in gods and the underworld, so the scale of his mausoleum was unprecedented.

After he found the elixir of life, the mausoleum naturally became useless, and the funerary objects inside were moved out and reused, the Terracotta Warriors being one of them.

These terracotta figurines have been transformed through the use of immortal technology and have become puppet soldiers with powerful strength. Their strength is far greater than that of the garrison troops throughout the empire, and the "general figurines" among them have combat power at the level of servants, but they are a bit rigid and have no treasures.

Compared to real servants, the strength of these terracotta figurines is naturally nothing, but this is not the point. The point is their number...

The total number of the Terracotta Warriors is at least 100,000!

There are nearly a hundred "general figurines" alone!

This numerical advantage is enough to crush any enemy, even a heroic spirit that can defeat a thousand enemies at once.

The reason why this force was not used before was because the First Emperor did not issue an order to unseal the "Terracotta Warriors", and given their huge scale, if they wanted to expel the Chaldean forces, it would inevitably cause great damage to the "First Emperor".

But now I can't care so much -

"Rumble..."

Before Wei Qing could give the order, the ground suddenly shook slightly, affecting the entire "First Emperor". Huge, terrifying echoes came from all directions inside.

"Earthquake?!"

Li Xiang suddenly panicked. After all, they were now inside the "First Emperor". Once it collapsed due to an earthquake, this building would be equivalent to a steel tomb of tens of millions of tons!

The servants and heroes remained relatively calm, but they separated from their opponents and gathered together to carefully observe their surroundings.

"It shouldn't be..."

Wei Qing and others were most puzzled: "The 'Huan Tian Seismograph' monitors the geological activities of the entire planet. If there is a natural disaster that threatens the 'First Emperor', it should be prevented or warned in advance... This is the imperial capital, and no natural disasters have occurred for thousands of years!"

A series of brilliant lights flashed in Kuaiji Lingshi's eyes, as if he was calculating something, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

Yu Ji beside him looked into the depths of "The First Emperor" inexplicably, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she had some clues but couldn't tell what was going on.

Jiang Liu was similar, and he also followed his intuition and looked deeper. He didn't know what was going on, but he could feel a strong aura brewing in a place that he couldn't see...

No, it has already been "born".

"Berserker..."

"Stand back, be careful."

Jiang Liu signaled everyone to step back, and only he stood at the front.

Wei Qing, Han Xin, Qin Liangyu and others were also a little nervous. As the shaking became less and less, the uneasiness in their hearts did not decrease. They also had no intention of continuing to fight, and they all distanced themselves from the Chaldeans.

Suddenly, the tremors became more intense, and a thunderous roar came from above. Everyone raised their heads and looked upwards.

"Well!"

"No way!"

"That is……"

Under the stunned gaze of the crowd, a "crack" slowly appeared in the steel sky that was unknown how thick it was!

As the gap grew larger and more sunlight continued to shine in, the thought naturally emerged in everyone's mind -

The "First Emperor" was opened?!

The absolute central mechanism of this losszone, a behemoth that stood as immovable as a mountain, suddenly opened as lightly as a box?

"The battle... ends here."

When the sunlight filled the earth and the sun in the sky stung everyone's eyes, a majestic and elegant voice came down from above.

"There is no need to continue... I will end this battle, and I will save this world."

A figure floated down from the sky, with his back to the sun, and his gorgeous robe was lifted by the breeze.

His graceful posture is like that of a legendary immortal, with slender limbs, handsome face, and colorful feather decorations like a phoenix. He indeed shows a temperament of being free from the world, but his eyes are full of majesty that only those in a superior position possess.

"Could it be?" Jiang Liu frowned, and an incredible guess flashed through his mind.

"You are……"

"Put away your weapons, my beloved ministers, and the travelers from other worlds."

The man landed in the center of the two camps, his toes not touching the ground, but about a foot off the ground, as if he didn't want to get dust on his body.

As we got closer, the ethereal and otherworldly aura of this mysterious man became more obvious. Although he was very different from ordinary people, he did not have any divinity, which made him very strange.

And the words he said made everyone open their eyes wide -

"Everything is decided by me, the First Emperor!"

Chapter 981: I approve

Facing this man who called himself "the First Emperor" (?), not only Jiang Liu and his companions felt bewildered and shocked, but even Wei Qing and his companions looked puzzled and shocked.

This is not surprising. After all, when they began to serve the empire, the First Emperor himself had no longer appeared in public. Later, he simply transformed himself into the "First Emperor", and no one had ever seen him in person again.

In the minds of these heroes, His Majesty the Emperor has always been this huge floating building, not a specific human being...

In other words, they have attributed all the power that controls this world to "His Majesty the Emperor".

For them, "First Emperor" was a somewhat abstract concept, and the object of their loyalty was not so much the emperor as the empire.

Of course, although the First Emperor never showed up again, his previous appearance was still passed down through portraits and the like.

After all, even though civilization has developed to this level, the empires of this world still retain ancestor worship, and on fixed festivals they still offer sacrifices to heaven and earth and their ancestors.

According to tradition, the "Son of Heaven" needs to show up to preside over the ceremony at this time... Of course, it is impossible to have a steel palace preside over it, so the emperor himself is replaced by a portrait, and the ceremony is presided over by an official who serves as the "Son of Heaven's Priest".

By the way, the current emperor of the empire corresponds to "Wang Mang" in pan-human history... It can only be said that they are the same person with different fates.

Wei Qing and others had never seen the First Emperor, but they knew what the emperor looked like... But precisely because of this, it was even more difficult for them to accept the "First Emperor" before them - he looked nothing like the one in the portrait!

However, this guy who looked a little effeminate did exude the majesty of an emperor and made everyone feel familiar with him, as if he was really the First Emperor himself.

What a hell!

"Your Majesty?" Wei Qing hesitated, but finally chose to trust his intuition and bowed with his fists clasped.

"Your Majesty, I am sorry that I cannot perform the formal ceremony due to my armor."

"It doesn't matter..."

The First Emperor was quite generous and said that it didn't matter. He always had a relaxed and happy smile on his face and seemed to be in a very good mood.

He glanced at the Chaldeans who were in a state of confusion, then turned back and scanned the faces of his subjects one by one, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't be surprised. I have already gotten rid of the sufferings of the world and reshaped myself. Thousands of years ago, I abandoned my original body and integrated my consciousness into the cold steel mechanism. Now I abandon my steel body and seek a higher realm. Is there anything strange about this?"

"No, I am just... a little stupid and failed to recognize Your Majesty the first time."

The heroes of the empire looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

I really don’t blame them. After all, who could have imagined that His Majesty the Emperor would become like this?

"Your Majesty, please be careful. These people are extremely vicious. We are here to protect your safety."

"Wait a moment!"

Lixiang spoke in time, took a deep breath, and imitated Wei Qing very seriously to salute the First Emperor, and then said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, the First Emperor, I dare to advise you that we have no regard for you or your empire..."

"Needless to say, I know what you are thinking. You just want to cut down the fantasy tree of this world without causing a large-scale conflict and continue the future of your pan-human history."

The First Emperor seemed to be very familiar with the situation in Chaldea.

"But, as an ordinary person, you lack the awareness to protect pan-human history even if it means destroying the world, so you feel guilty about my empire - right?"

There was a faint light in the eyes of the First Emperor, as if he could see through everything, even thoughts.

"Well!"

Li Xiang was suddenly choked. Her thoughts were revealed so easily that she didn't know what to do.

"What a naive person... It turns out that in the competition for survival, there is no room for mercy and it has been like this since ancient times.

Even though my empire now seems to be at peace and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, it seems as beautiful as a world of great harmony.

But in order to build this country, in the process of unifying the world, the imperial army destroyed countless civilizations, exterminated countless nations and countries, and created countless tragic events..."

The First Emperor said softly: "What I have done is much more excessive than what you have done, but I have never been so compassionate, so I say you are naive."

"Uh..." Ritsuka fell silent. Mashu looked at her worriedly, while Jiang Liu frowned and glanced at the First Emperor.

However, just after saying this, the First Emperor changed the subject.

“However, naivety is not necessarily a bad thing… Although I have created an unprecedented empire and achieved unprecedented achievements, from the perspective of ordinary people, it is not "just".

Although you are naive, your desire to protect human history and your unwillingness to harm innocent people are not ridiculous at all.

I would never make the same choice as you, so I admire people like you.

Well, let me tell you a good news. You don't have to worry about it anymore, because I have decided to cooperate with Pan-Human History - strictly speaking, Chaldea."

"what?"

Including Jiang Liu, Ritsuka, Mashu, Second and others were all stunned for a moment, and then they reacted, showing extremely subtle expressions, and could not believe their ears.

"W-cooperate with us?"

“Is it incredible?”

The First Emperor said calmly: "Nothing can escape my eyes. Even the convergence of the world line is within the calculation range of the First Emperor."

Long before you arrived, I had already foreseen the future of this world...it was a dark one.

No matter how many times the calculations are done, the empire will not be able to survive into the next era and is doomed to perish in the future.

Even without the competition of pan-human history and the Lostbelt, I am also using my superhuman computing ability to simulate world lines that can break through the ending of destruction... Among the thirty-two world lines, only cooperation with Chaldea can continue the future of the empire. "
