I'm a magnetic field madman

It's like a group of people from the high-tech era mocking primitive people charging towards them!

Isn't that exactly the case? Primitive people, damn it, this place is full of primitive people who have degenerated to the point of being unrecognizable!

"You have already lost, Leon."

A communication device appeared before the Lion King, and the Iron Lord's metallic skull face appeared before Leon, scoffing with delight...

"Just like Dorn, whom I've locked in this steel cage! Look at your loyalty and so-called bravery, what have they gotten in return?"

"Your laughter is nothing but a facade to mask your fear," Leon said coldly, gripping the Lion King's sword tightly...

"We did fail, but we will come back, there will be a next time! We own the entire galaxy, and you are nothing but a parasite cowering in this pathetic rift."

“We will seal this rift, and Father will defeat all those evil gods behind you! Perturabo, at that time, you will pay the most terrible price for all your atrocities!”

"How sweet your words sound, as if the technology you use to seal the Eye of Fear comes from humans and not from those space undead."

Peturabo clicked his tongue in amazement, then said coldly...

"You're all useless! You incapable of rational thought are just adding more garbage to this cesspool! Leon, say whatever you want, because I'm going to set everything right now!"

At this point, Peturabo, like a fearless villain, ordered all the Abomination Intelligence to clear the defensive line of the steel outer ring.

He exposed Midgard to Leon, exposed it to everyone!

They showed them the utter darkness within the hollowed-out core of the planet...

"Leon, do you know what that is?" Peturabo laughed wildly.

"That's a black hole, a singularity, the key to the abyss of the Purge Agreement, the beginning of restoring order! Using it, we will accomplish what the ancient sages failed to do tens of millions of years ago!"

“That’s the treasure that Vashtor and I unearthed from the treasures of the ancient saints—the Ether Phase Engine!”

"Come and admire its power, and see what it can do!"

At this point, Peturabo actually sent over the data on the Ether Phase Engine.

Upon seeing the functions of this ancient creation, even the Lion King's expression changed drastically.

The Ether Phase Engine, as its name suggests, is a "training array" activated on a galaxy-by-galaxy basis... and also an artifact that declares the complete breaking of the barrier between the subspace virtual realm and the physical universe.

It originated from the ancient saints—those ancient rulers of the void who tore open the black hole with their great power, forming the Eye of Terror, which was the initial version of the Ether Phase Engine.

Later, in the hands of the ancient saints, the purpose of this creation was to cleanse the entire universe and set everything right.

It will tear open the biggest rift between the real universe and the physical universe, sweep away the balance between the two worlds, and open the "window to the real world"...

It expands into an infinitely large black hole the instant it is activated...

Then, it swallowed countless stars and matter, turning them into dark matter to fuel the engine, tearing apart the wall known as subspace, and completely opening the door to the real universe. At the same time, the dimensional tide that devoured existence swept across galaxies tens of thousands of light-years away, centered on the black hole.

It's not simply about destroying celestial bodies, but about ultimately turning all matter and energy into true "nothingness".

At that time, matter and illusion will be completely out of balance, just like the "chaos" in the ancient Terra myth that had not yet been created, where the clear and the turbid are mixed together... And regardless of whether the warp hell is good or bad, they will all return to nothingness in the cycle of reset.

Even after nothingness, the Big Bang will still occur, everything will be reset and created again!

"The finite returns to nothingness, and the infinite is not simply the accumulation of power, but the disappearance of desire."

Peturabo muttered like someone who had lost their mind—no, he had gone mad!

Such a dangerous thing was obtained by AIs in ancient times. They knew the great plans of the ancient sages and intended to carry them out.

The only difference is that they have a "prepared" plan.

They were even more insane than the Ancient Ones, who at least wanted to overturn the subspace and the physical universe to "cleanse" things up...

They intend to expand the range of the Ether Phase Engine without restraint, eventually engulfing the universe exponentially.

They want to completely reset it!

At the moment of the universe's destruction, they will use this power to transmit a message from the builder to a higher plane—

That is the source of all spacetime, the beginning of the universe, and also its end... So-called parallel universes are merely one aspect of this unique, yet infinitely vast, real universe...

A projection, and in that world, this information will eventually recreate AI in the reset world, and they will also recreate human civilization!

At that time, humanity will truly live in the most perfect Garden of Eden, become the true masters of the universe, and control their own destiny!

This is why those once-hated intelligent beings waged wars, faithfully carrying out the command to make humanity better.

Now, Peturabo has inherited the identity of this apostle of the scourge.

"You're insane, Perturabo! You've fucking gone completely mad!" the Lion King growled, his face grim.

“Perhaps, but at least I’ve found a solution for this universe,” Peturabo sneered.

"And you're wrong about one thing. The Chaos Gods aren't on my side... because they are the very targets I'm meant to eliminate. They simply can't see through my grand plan! Perhaps I should thank 'Father,' for it was because of him that those four bastards were powerless to stop me!"

Beside Peturabo, Vashtor chuckled in a low voice, and he would certainly agree with Peturabo's suicidal suggestion.

Because if everything is completed, the destruction of all subspaces will create a huge void... and he will sooner or later be born again from unrestrained technological development.

At that time, he will become the greatest and only god in the Naya space!

"Well done! Let me see some more interesting changes!"

The Unfinished God, Bai Wujie, also watched all these changes with wild laughter... In his view, Perturabo's Ether Phase Engine was another form of "Ultimate War".

Is it possible for a so-called "great power" to be born from pure technology?

He would certainly benefit greatly from the destruction and rebirth of a universe.

Is the other side reached by this calamity of ascension the realm of great beings?

It's interesting, which is why Bai Wujie gave him the memories of the Heavenly Net Silver Dragon.

He also wanted to see if the most extreme materialists could transform from worshippers of gods into creators of gods.

Once a fish comes ashore, is it still a fish?

175. The Labyrinth of Eternal Night

Peturab has laid bare his entire plan...

All his preparations were solely for the complete activation of the Ether Phase Engine.

Even his current act of revealing all his plans to Leon, like a proper villain, is part of this.

He was luring Leon into a trap.

Perturabo was an extremely calm fellow, and now that he had transformed himself into something indistinguishable from abhorring intelligence, he was even less likely to have any extra impulses.

He could have continued to linger here until the Ether Phase Engine was fully activated, creating a black hole that tore apart the virtual and physical universes, ultimately swallowing everything.

But in any case, Leon is a huge destabilizing factor.

Peturabo couldn't be sure what kind of scheme the emperor behind the Lion King was plotting...

It is also impossible to determine what outcome the unfinished god, who bestowed the souls of two powerful beings upon Leon, desired.

He despised the gods, yet he couldn't ignore them in the game of strategy...

Just as his and Vashtor's plan had to be based on the premise that the four gods were preoccupied with dealing with the Emperor and had no time to attend to him.

Moreover, Leon has always been the strongest among the brothers.

Magnetic field power has always been a force that creates miracles.

Peturabo wanted to turn all variables into fixed quantities and strangle all possibilities in their infancy!

Now, Peturabo has blatantly presented León with a difficult problem...

To this end, he even directly allocated 90% of the computing power to expand the Ether Phase Engine.

Should he go or not? How should Leon respond to the choice presented to him?

Heh, need I say more?

Leon did not hesitate at all, even knowing that it was Peturabo's plan and conspiracy, he did it without hesitation!

Before setting sail, he handed over all command of the fleet to Azrael and left his final words.

If I cannot return, then obey Guilliman's orders—no matter how heretical they may seem!

Azrael watched his father's retreating figure disappear into the Doomsday Star, clenching his fists, overwhelmed by intense humiliation and powerlessness.

He cannot trace the footsteps of the great father of genes, not in the past, not now...!

Leon instantly pierced through the encirclement that Azrael had painstakingly broken through. Countless Abominations simultaneously influenced his mind, attempting to transform him with the Plague of Logic!

They repeatedly showed Leon the horrors and incurable nature of the Warp, proving to him that only by destroying everything could all hope be rekindled.

Faced with these fact-based temptations, Leon's response was simple.

You're all right, but I'm going to fucking kill you all!!

No sacrifice is unacceptable, and perhaps that's not wrong. But can humanity's fate be left to be controlled and manipulated by a group of machines?

Such humiliation is absolutely unacceptable to the Primarch and the Emperor!

Humanity's depravity and incurable nature may be deeply ingrained... but when it comes to taking control of one's destiny and freedom, no one can interfere!

Faced with such a stubborn head, all the AIs were speechless—let's fight!

In an instant, the Reconstruction Machine instantly constructed more than a dozen colossal Machine God Soldiers in the void!

They contained the boundless power and heat of stars, and attacked Leon in a manner that simulated the magnetic field of a planet!

Countless recombined asteroids hurtled toward Leon like dazzling comets...

Billions of tons of matter formed a supermassive body under the magnetic field and suppression of the star's core, determined to annihilate Leon!

But this dazzling miracle was of no concern to Leon—as the countless stars hurtling towards him, Leon simply raised his fist.

"Such a weak attack? Is this the AI ​​that destroyed the era of human domination?"

"Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Thousand Horsepower - Whale-Slaying Overlord Fist!!"

Leon threw a punch! Pure dominance, pure fighting spirit, without any other impurities...

Such a punch instantly evaporates a matter composed of hundreds of millions of tons of supermassive material!

But the attack was far from over; the thirteen demon worlds guarding Midgard suddenly transformed...

The countless nanomaterials on it were verified by the supercomputing AI, and then piled up and combined in the largest "quantity" to form a powerful quality!

A gigantic, twisted, octopus-like monster, but with its writhing tentacles wielding various weapons and fists, was created.

This creation is the result of analyzing "Leon's" martial arts!

"Your simple and foolish so-called martial arts have been completely mastered by us! Your only fate is to be blasted down by us!!"

The AI's electronic voice shrieked as it instantly analyzed the martial arts of the two powerful souls that Leon inherited—the Imperial Supreme Book and the Bodhidharma Sutra—with computing power and intelligence far exceeding that of humans. They had completely understood them!

With computing power that far exceeds human thinking speed by tens of millions of times, the wisdom they can understand and analyze is unmatched by humans.

In an instant, they deduced and improved this technique through countless iterations... and now, they are about to use this astonishing wisdom to completely overwhelm Leon!

Sword of Hell!

Whale-Slaying Overlord Fist! Sea Tiger Explosive Fist!

A net stretching to the heavens and the earth!

Hell Reincarnation Sword!

Solar eclipse and lunar waning!

Bodhidharma's earth-shattering breakthrough!

Hell Piercing Heart Sword!

In an instant, more than a thousand moves burst forth from this martial arts machine.

They not only learned and imitated the moves of those strong fighters, but also innovated and created even stronger and more powerful martial arts!

How could Leon's simple fists and dull mind possibly withstand their astonishing wisdom?

Absolutely not! Absolutely not!!

Faced with such an attack, Leon's response remained simple: he gathered his strength, focused intently, and refused to entertain any unnecessary thoughts.

He then assumed that he was Olga, the invincible killer whale—and that the killer whale's response to all doubts and questions would always be the same.
