"Don't be in such a rush, you're always so impulsive!!"

"You haven't listened to any of Orl's advice. Be patient and don't rush."

Do you know the saying "haste makes waste"?

Perhaps it heard Qin Yun's inner complaints.
The mission screen flickered, and reluctantly, the upgrade screen was replaced.

They might feel lectured and lose face.

The light screen switched several times in succession.
Only then was the upgraded light screen finally displayed stably in front of Qin Yun.

Impatient, and a little petty!
Qin Yun silently labeled someone.

Then, turn your attention back to the upgrade screen to check out the new skills you've acquired.

"A divine sign, this thing should be similar to the phenomenon mentioned in the Book of Death when the Black King ascended to godhood," Qin Yun pondered.

The end of the Battle of Terra,
The emperor allowed Macardo to replace him on the Golden Throne.

He freed himself up to deal with the traitor.

To defeat Horus, who was empowered by the four gods, the Emperor continuously absorbed energy from the warp.
Soon, it transformed into a black sun radiating golden light.

At that time, the name 'Dark Lord' was whispered everywhere in Terra.
Even people's dreams, hallucinations, and even demons keep repeating this name.

"This skill would be perfect for a charlatan."

"Hehe, an angel has descended."

Qin Yun imagined himself using this skill.

He must be very handsome.

Men and women of all ages, from young girls to old men and women, were all captivated and bowed down in worship.

When I get to Baal, I'll put this skill to use.
I can't even imagine what those bloodthirsty brats must be like.

The bag made them cry their eyes out and scream!

Just thinking about that scene is exhilarating!
"The incarnation of the Machine God".

Qin Yun looked at the next skill, uttered it softly, and was quite surprised.

Isn't this the signature skill of some impatient, petty, and nerdy guy?!
The opponent initially relied on a single move: "Mechanical, Self-Healing Body".
They completely fooled those Martian tech geeks.

However, to be fair, motor enthusiasts do seem to fall for this.

When the time comes, I'll definitely be able to use him when I go to Terra to take over Guilliman's job.

Once the Machine God's incarnation appeared,
Those oil enthusiasts just bowed their heads in worship, not to mention...
With just a flick of their little finger, they'd eagerly hand over their entire fortune.

Fortunately, motor enthusiasts don't talk about love and resist desire.

Otherwise, Qin Yun feared that if he beckoned with his finger, several female sages the size of small mountains would be waiting for him in the room.

She insisted on offering herself to him, allowing him to sexually harass her.

Qin Yun shuddered at the thought of the female sage, covered in oil pipes and gears, who had lived for over a thousand years and whose remaining flesh had been preserved with chemical agents.

I can't enjoy this kind of good fortune, not even a little bit.

An Indian might be able to, but he really can't.

Just thinking about it makes me feel powerless.

"Owner."

"They are all waiting for your orders."

Xiling's call brought Qin Yun back to his senses.

He turned to look at those people and found that they were all looking at him.

"Sorry, I just saw some fragments of the future, and I was a little disoriented."

Qin Yun made up an excuse to cover up his distraction.

"Ariman and that demon have escaped, and the Mirror Dimension has been destroyed. There's nothing left to do here."

"You should return to the fleet first. We will hold a meeting later to discuss the next steps in military operations."

As everyone left, Qin Yun called out to Kai Ding.

“Sage.” Kaiding bowed to Qin Yun.

"The mirror dimension world has shattered, and demons may be escaping into the real world. Keep a close eye on the world of Solomon's Nest to avoid leaving any traces behind."

Qin Yun gave a few instructions, and Kai Ding nodded repeatedly.

"I understand, Your Majesty. I will make the arrangements."

"Also," Qin Yun added, "carefully investigate the seven great demons of the Calissis Sector and find out their locations."

“If necessary, we can seek the wisdom and knowledge of our allies. I don’t want anything else to happen in the Calicus sector.”

“A saint.” Keding hesitated before speaking.

"Just say what's on your mind, don't beat around the bush." ​​Qin Yun looked at Kaiding, "After everything we've been through, don't we have enough trust between us?"

“My lord,” Kadin mustered his courage, “I think you trust those Eldar too much; they are ultimately aliens.”

"There's a famous saying from ancient Terra that's still widely known today: 'Those who are not of our kind are sure to have different hearts.'"

"Do you trust your weapons? Do you maintain them regularly and perform machine spirit prayer rituals?" Qin Yun asked with a half-smile.

Kadin nodded. "I trust my weapon, I take good care of it, and I pray every day."

"If the weapon becomes contaminated, loses its value, and might even poison you, would you still keep it?" Qin Yun continued to ask.

Kading shook his head. "Of course I won't leave it. I'll destroy it or break it into pieces and abandon it somewhere no one can find it."

Qin Yun smiled and said, "The Eldar are that weapon; they can help us deal with the Warp."

"While this tool is still useful, we should take good care of it and cherish it as a partner."

"If one day this tool becomes useless or even harms us, we must discard and eliminate it without hesitation."

Qin Yun patted Kaiding on the shoulder before continuing.

“These words may seem cold and heartless to you, or even make you feel that I am using you as a tool.”

“I didn’t,” Kadding said hastily.

"It's alright, Kading." Qin Yun's tone was gentle, but a hint of sadness lingered in his eyes.
"Because that is the right way to think: you, everyone, even myself, are just tools to save humanity."

"If one day I am forced to sacrifice you in order to achieve victory, then I can only say sorry to you."

"On the contrary, if one day you need to shoot me to save this civilization, I hope you will not hesitate."

“Thank you for your honesty.” Kadin performed a hawk salute. “Saint.”

"This is what you deserve. A person like you will not abandon your duty because of the harshness of reality."

Kadin could sense the sincerity in Qin Yun's words.
A strong sense of pride burned within him.

As the head of the Calithis sector, Kedin could understand the feelings of a saint.

In the past, his hands were stained with the blood of his comrades in order to fight against demons and heretics.

If one person's sacrifice can save ten thousand people, then we must act without hesitation.

"If the day comes for my death, I will not hesitate."

Kadding spoke in a vow-like tone.

"I believe you," Qin Yun said.

…………

After giving his instructions to Kadin, Qin Yun also set off back to the Imperial Glory.
He went straight to the prayer sanctuary.

Place the Key of Infinity before the Emperor's shrine and pray.

A flash of light appeared, and the Key of Infinity vanished.

A moment later, it reappeared.

When Qin Yun looked over,

Golden text appeared, detailing its information.

Name: Key of Infinity (Tier 1)
This is a powerful artifact of time, but unfortunately it is still an unfinished product, yet it possesses immense power.

It can be used to reverse time within a small range.

By acquiring more laws of time or creations, one can gradually refine them into a finished product.

"You have become a traveler of time, why don't you hurry up and embark on your adventure?"

"Of all the myriad paths in the universe, time reigns supreme. Young man, this is your cheat code. Quick, grab it and go conquer the world!"

】

Qin Yun: "…………"

Such cringeworthy lines could never have been generated by oneself.

It can only be the work of some otaku.

Goodness, after living for 40,000 years, you still haven't changed your original intentions, have you?

Just as I finished complaining, a new task screen appeared.

[Mission: Use the Infinite Key to maintain the operation of the Golden Throne]

After tens of thousands of years, the Golden Throne is on the verge of collapse, and many of its functional components are about to break down.

Please use the power of the Infinite Key to reverse the time of those components, allowing them to continue functioning and maintaining the operation of the Golden Throne.

Quest Rewards: A large amount of Faith Points, and a legendary piece of equipment.

Friendly reminder: Reversing time cannot be effective on the Golden Throne indefinitely; finding a way to repair it as soon as possible is the wise thing to do.

】

"Truly worthy of being an emperor, his mind is quick."

"They actually thought of using the Infinite Key as an emergency measure."

Qin Yun checked the mission details.
I'll complete this task while I'm preparing to take over the reins in Terra.

"Master, everyone is in the conference room, waiting for you."

Xiling appeared beside Qin Yun.

"Okay, I'll go over now."

Qin Yun put away the Key of Infinity and walked towards the conference room.

…………

The vast and boundless void,

The crescent-shaped Eternal Lord floats above a planet in near-Earth orbit.

The undead army remaining on the planet's surface is withdrawing back to its warships through a portal.

The surviving humans hid in the ruins, watching through the cracks as the metallic aliens marched away through a portal emanating a green glow.

They were filled with confusion and bewilderment.

I don't understand why these abhorrent enemies would abandon the planets they already control.

Actually, it's not just them.

Even many necromancers didn't understand such an order.
They've already crushed the armies of those inferior races and occupied the entire planet, so why are they withdrawing?

Unfortunately, they couldn't defy the management agreement.

They must obey the orders given by their commanders unconditionally.

At the bridge of the Eternal Lord,
The supreme commander of this operation, Kobueza, gazed at the distant stars, a hint of sadness in his eerie green eyes. After a long while, he finally spoke softly.

"I have failed, I have been defeated by a bunch of inferior beings, it is a disgrace."

"A temporary setback is nothing," Anlaqir, both his deputy and personal guard, comforted him.
Allakir did not participate in the Battle of Solomon.

He was responsible for staying behind to hold the line and procure resources.

It was thought that, with its time technology, the Herxos dynasty could easily take over this sector controlled by a lower race.

It went quite smoothly at first, utilizing time rewind.
They routed humanity, plunging them into despair.

Even so, those humans repeatedly mustered their courage and launched counterattacks.

The final result was that they were mercilessly crushed by the dynasty's fleet, reduced to the burning remains and corpses of the void.

Just as the fleet was sweeping through humanity, it suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of the Solomon Islands, its morale collapsing.
They even tremble with fear at the mere mention of human invasion.

Only after questioning did Anlakir learn that during the Battle of the Solomon Islands,
Kobuesa and other undead commanders unexpectedly encountered a complete Star God.

The other side has established friendly relations with humans and assisted them in defeating the undead fleet led by Kobuesa.

The fleet was forced to withdraw all its forces and prepare to leave the Calithis sector.

Let alone retrieving the artifact, the Infinity Key,

If they run slower, they risk being wiped out.

Many technologies of the Necromancer race are intricately linked to the Star God.

With the help of the Star Gods, humanity's technology and information are essentially transparent to the undead.

Even the defense protocols of their computing cores and databases are practically useless to humans.

If they don't evacuate now, they will be completely wiped out if humans launch a counterattack.

Kobueza didn't speak, but just looked outside, her green eyes revealing a human sadness.

Anlaqir sighed softly, steam leaking from the tightly closed metal spout.

He also turned to look at the observation window.
Besides the vast array of stars, his current appearance can also be vaguely seen through the reflection in the glass.

Their eyes shone with a green light.
The skeleton that makes up the body is cast from living metal with exquisite craftsmanship, as smooth as ripples on water.
There is no trace left of what was once a living being of flesh and blood.

The star god deceived them, taking away their flesh and soul.

All that remained was a metallic body that still held memories of the past.

Anlaqir turned his head away and looked elsewhere.

The zigzagging lines and intersecting wires shimmered with a green light on the dim wall.

Those were once symbols of devotion shown to the star gods.
The symbols representing the names of various star gods quietly recount the prayers of the past.
And those titles and religious objects that were betrayed and shattered by the undead.

Anlakir's gaze was fixed on the symbol that identified the Void Dragon.

He once bowed and scraped before this deity, offering humbly sacrifices to him.

Since the day of his betrayal, he thought he would never have to live in the shadow of those terrifying things again.

Who could have imagined that one day that race would make a comeback?

Once that young Star God grows up, the Undead race will suffer incredibly cruel retribution.

They must return to the French Emperor's side.
Then set aside past grudges and go to warn other dynasties.
The undead must unite once again.
We must eliminate that star god at all costs, exterminate humanity, and prevent future troubles.

…………

The undead forces withdrew to the fleet above orbit.
Then he left without any hesitation.
They are so fast,
It took the surviving humans a very long time to believe that the undead had truly left.

They ran out of their hiding place, shouting "Long live the Divine Emperor!"

When the news reached the Imperial fleet that was planning to pursue them, many high-ranking human officials were stunned.
I checked several times before I dared to be sure that the Necromancers in space had all left.

"I thought there would be a few more fierce battles!"

Xia said with some regret, "If they had run a little slower, I could have accumulated even more merits."

"It seems the battle in the Solomon system has terrified them," Ainger said.

"........."

As for the players, it goes without saying.

The chat channel exploded as soon as the news broke.

"I haven't even stepped onto the field yet!! And they've already given up??"

"Necromancer Father, you can't leave! If you leave, where am I supposed to earn merit? What about my loan?"

"We are ready to fight to the death, why are you fleeing first?"

"Where is your pride as a superior race? Where is your dignity? You are even afraid of us humans, these ants, yet you dare to dream of becoming the overlords of the galaxy?"

"........."

The lower-ranking soldiers also began to wail, each one overcome with grief.

As I mentioned before, the war against the undead would be a brutal battlefield.

Soldiers died in droves.

The battlefield was littered with corpses.

Anyone who survives three hours is considered a veteran; surviving a day earns a promotion to platoon leader.

Play the entire match, and you're guaranteed at least a promotion to lieutenant colonel.

They were so frightened that they wrote their wills, broke up with their girlfriends, asked their wives to divorce them, and sent their sons to be raised by Old Wang next door.

So that they could follow the sage without any worries.
Defeat the undead race at all costs, and you'll get a promotion and a raise.

Result, that's it? ?

They won without even seeing a single undead creature!
The ones who are most hurt now are their hearts!
"I thought I could at least be promoted to sergeant."

Harry, who had been promoted to corporal, was also somewhat unhappy.

He was eager to learn and diligently studied tactics and other knowledge.
They just want to perform well in this battle and strive to go one step further.

As a result, those space undead were nothing, and they slunk away, not even daring to fight.

At this rate, when will he ever get a promotion?

…………

Upon learning that the undead had withdrawn from the Calissis sector, Qin Yun did not order a pursuit.

Instead, they convened a meeting of high-ranking military officials to discuss who their next target would be.

After several hours of discussion and analysis,
The final decision was to make expelling the Zerg fleet from the Hazelas subsector the next strategic objective.

Van Wiegens, an inquisitor from the Alien Inquisition, brought intelligence about the Zerg fleet.

Van Wiegens was a student of the legendary inquisitor Kriptman.

Cripptman was the first Inquisitor to discover and name the Tyranids.
It was through his efforts that the Empire realized the threat posed by Tyrande.

Kriptman participated in all the battles concerning Tyranny, achieving remarkable feats and issuing warnings to multiple worlds to minimize casualties.

After the outbreak of the Third Terran War, the Leviathan fleet headed straight for Terra.

In order to protect Terra and buy time for the Solar Fleet and the Storm Fleet.
He ordered the creation of a blockade, implementing scorched earth tactics on all planets within its range.
This made him the person who committed the most serious crime of genocide since the Horus Rebellion.

Ultimately, he was stripped of all his positions and rights.

Even after losing his position as judge, Kriptman did not abandon his duties.

He devised another plan to delay the Leviathan fleet's advance.

That was the orcish empire that led the Leviathan fleet towards the Octarius system.
Of course, this approach is merely a short-sighted solution.
The battle between the orcs and the insectoids caused both sides to evolve.

Regardless of who wins, the human empire will face an even more powerful enemy.

But this approach also bought the empire more time.

Judge Van Wiegens shared his findings with the audience at the meeting.

Another Zerg fleet, even larger than the Behemoth, Kraken, and Leviathan fleets, is approaching the Milky Way.

He named this brand-new Zerg fleet Setheus.
The Zerg swarm fleet that invaded the Hazelas subsector was merely one of Seth's tentacles, used to test the strength of local resistance.

"The entire galaxy will be put to the test. If we fail, the Empire will cease to exist, humanity will cease to exist, and even the galaxy itself will cease to exist."

After introducing the Setus swarm fleet, Van Wiegens addressed everyone present at the meeting.

The solemn words completely extinguished the joy of defeating the undead.
Many imperial officers wore solemn expressions.

They could all foresee the cruelty of the future: endless war.

After determining the action objectives and plans,

A massive imperial fleet set sail from the Solomon system.

They headed straight for the main force of the Tyranid swarm that had invaded the Calicus sector.

…………

"The Zerg, this is a new opportunity."

Inside a workshop on the Imperial Glory

MC Myth, who was on the expedition with the fleet, was researching Zerg data.

In the projection in front of him, the figure and data of a Zerg unit with a large head floated.

This type of Zerg unit is called a brain worm.

It has a highly developed brain, but its limbs are weak and it cannot walk.
Using psychic abilities to levitate and move.

On the battlefield, the cerebrates are responsible for unleashing psionic attacks on the enemy or relaying orders from the swarm's mastermind.

"The swarm's biotechnology is so advanced, it would be a real shame not to try and learn from them."

Looking at the projection of the brain worm, MC Myth had a crazy idea.

At the recent auction,

The wreckage of the Necromancer warship was auctioned off at a high price by its former owner, Doraemon Workshop.

This means that the MC Dynasty will fall further behind its opponent in terms of technological research and development.

This forced MC Myth to consider an important issue: the need to adjust its business strategy.

Doraemon Workshop has a first-mover advantage.

It has already established an advantage in fields such as mechs and warships.

After the MC dynasty was established, it always chased after its opponent and found it difficult to surpass it.

Continuing like this is pointless.

The key is to open up a completely new blue ocean market.

Due to the crisis of omnic rebellion, the human empire is filled with distrust towards silicon-based omnics.

Therefore, most of the computers in the human empire used wet components.

However, the human brain has a limited capacity.

This resulted in the Empire having extremely limited computing power, making it completely unlike an interstellar civilization.

If the human brain were to evolve to a level comparable to that of a computer, and then be made into a wet component, it might solve the problem of insufficient computing power.

The more MC thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Since they can't compete with Doraemon Workshop in the field of physics and technology,

Then I'll take the biotechnology route and try to overtake them by taking a shortcut.

P.S.: Sorry for writing this so late, sorry.

Let's get an angel's knife, charge, brothers!
