993 - Reinforcements
The moment he clicked [Yes], a large amount of information was dumped into his mind forcefully and as fast as possible, unlike all the previous times that he had bought knowledge from the system. With the soul pain he was feeling, this additional pain disappeared like a drop of water in the ocean, not leaving any trace of its existence.The moment he finished digesting the knowledge amidst the continuing pain, he raised his already-risen eyebrows even higher as he wondered what this really meant. The system didn’t provide him with a full explanation of why he was doing it, just instructions to do something, and the rest, the system was going to handle. But the pain reminded him that he didn’t have the luxury of thinking about it for too long, as he now needed to relay the instructions to someone so that they could deliver the required materials.Talking would have caused him to lose the mental control of the pain he was holding back, so he raised his hand, pointing it in the direction
994 - Preparations
PSSSSSS! Seconds after Aron entered the cylindrical tank, it locked, and two shields, powered from the outside, activated to their maximum capacity. It was clear that they were preparing for the situation to go beyond their expectations. After all, the Emperor himself didn’t know the possible outcome; he was trusting that the system still had his safety and improvement as one of its paramount objectives.{Please create a distance of at least ten kilometers,} Nova said in a serious tone, making it clear that the "please" in her sentence was not a request but just a formality. She gave everyone the coordinates she wanted them to move to, sending the Empress the farthest from the main location.“I’m not going to argue with you about it, but I didn’t like that,” Rina said when she saw the coordinates she was supposed to go to and her location in relation to all of the rest of the reinforcements called here.She clearly knew Nova's reasoning for placing her the farthest. She was both the E
995 - Soul Veins
From the data that Nova could gather and share, they could see Aron floating silently in the middle of the tank as the materials in his surroundings were undergoing a reaction, with the central controlling and uniting aspect being the Fountain of Life. It was leading the reaction, making many connect it to alchemy, which didn’t really seem too far off.Other than that, his tainted mana still kept being ejected from his body, but unlike previously, where it was allowed to go everywhere, this time the Fountain of Life absorbed it like a sponge, not allowing even a thimble of it to escape the cylindrical tank despite it not having mana-blocking properties, and it showed no intention of getting full.However, the Emperor’s stillness didn’t last long. In a single move, he started shaking involuntarily, as if he were trying to escape the cylinder or just wanted to do something to put himself away from the pain. It seemed like his body didn’t really have enough power to do that, and his rapi
996 - The Horn
{Veins of the Soul? Is he trying to counter mana poisoning by changing aspects of his soul?}Ayaka didn’t have any energy to answer Nova, as her eyes were now fully focused on the Soul Veins near the Emperor, her face still covered in horror. This was a result of her finally accessing the full knowledge of what was in front of her and knowing what the possible outcome would be if things went wrong, and based on the complexity of the knowledge, she knew that was the most likely outcome, and it was nothing good for anyone, including her.“CHGHD,” she found herself losing control of her body as her fear was momentarily interrupted when Nova used the mana she was providing through the suit to shock her and send her body haywire so that by the time it reset, she could have at least recollected herself. For anyone else, it would have been dangerous, but for Ayaka, this was no different than a needle prick.{Veins of the Soul? Is he trying to counter mana poisoning by changing aspects of his
997 - A Mess
Mars Central CommandInside the center of the empire's military surveillance technology central command, a screen wide enough to allow for every important sector within the empire to be shown simultaneously was currently operating under wartime mobilization. All of the screens were now covered with footage live-streamed from avatars who were still wreaking havoc in the Conclave.However, that footage didn’t last long, as it was instantly replaced by the imperial solar system sensor array, with a large highlight surrounding Mars as an alarm blared across the room.Without even needing instructions, the footage zoomed in on Mars, accessing all of the sensor assets within that vicinity and trying to pinpoint what exactly was happening and come up with a solution.But just as it was about to start receiving the feeds of the area of interest, the entire screen was replaced by a large, red-colored sentence: [AN ATTEMPT TO ACCESS A CLASSIFIED SECTOR HAS BEEN DISCOVERED: ACCESS DENIED].“Okay
998 - The ALMOST Perfect Prison
“AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!” Rina shouted amidst rapid acceleration as she tried to reach him. Multiple magic circles appeared around her as she injected them with as much mana as possible from her dedicated reactor, which was connected to her through an accessory with a miniature wormhole. However, by the time they were ready, Aron had already retreated, and the doppelgänger had gone through the wormhole shortly after, causing a pit to form in her stomach.“Nova, tell me he is safe,” she said as she was landing, constantly adjusting her magic circle's output as Lee had just canceled his black-hole-esque ability. The sudden return to normal gravity caused quite a few disturbances in the surrounding area.The short silence before she received an answer felt like an eternity to her. Just as she was about to ask again, her worries on the verge of doubling, a response finally came: {He is fine, and the doppelgänger is captured.}“Thank God,” Rina said as she found herself falling to her knee
999 - The Crown Prince
“What is wrong with him exactly?” Henry, Aron’s younger brother and the crown prince, turned to Nova, asking her as he stood in front of Aron’s mana-filled medical pod.Due to the set line of succession that had been maintained for decades since the founding of the empire, he was still the first in line despite not wanting the position at all. He considered it a formality required by the imperial constitution to remove the possibility of instability should something happen to the Emperor, preventing a power vacuum.Since he was selected as the crown prince, nothing much had changed for him. He had managed to continue pursuing what he loved: research. He was currently one of the leading researchers in the field of mana, with his studies being as influential as the Empress’s were in the field of magic. This was due to the advantage of his eyes being able to perceive mana deeper and in more detail than many of the available sensors. In fact, nearly all of the sensors had their founding a
1000 - Let There be Light
FWOOOOM!!!!! The space surrounding the Nymari capital star system trembled as a wormhole opened a few hundred thousand kilometers from the capital planet, which looked very peaceful from the current distance.There were no ships that swished in space; only the satellites in the planet’s orbit remained, as if it were just a planet on the verge of reaching the first Kardashev scale and entering the space exploration age.“I’m sure I don’t have to repeat this, but I will do so nonetheless,” a Shadari Commander said when the wormhole closed behind them, leaving only their single ship in the vicinity.“This is our warning to the Conclave members to remind them what joining the Conclave means and that it is not something you can just try and leave in an instance of inconvenience or when things get difficult, after having benefited from our support when you were in difficult times. For that, a good example needs to be set to make sure everyone knows the consequences of attempting any of thos
1001 - Misdirection of the Century
Minutes from the detonation of the bomb, the entire planet was already covered in radioactive materials. Spending even less than ten minutes was enough to guarantee death, which essentially sentenced every living thing on the planet to death and would sustain that life-denying level of toxicity for at least a century before people could return and be able to spend a few hours without dying.This could be accelerated if a civilization invested a huge amount of resources, but most of the time, waiting was deemed to be the most effective solution, considering that to many civilizations, a period of a century is something within their lifetimes.“That should be enough of a warning for anyone else to think twice and for those who attempted to leave to crawl back to avoid suffering the same fate,” Gubka said as he watched the planet from a distance, knowing that it was not the end of the chain reaction. Following the radioactive fallout, there were going to be tsunamis, earthquakes, and the
1002 - !Despair
Moral superiority is something many countries fighting a war want to have on their side, as it makes their situation slightly easier.When a nation has moral superiority, it allows them to show how righteous they are to their citizens, who, knowing the sacrifices they were making, will want to support their nation or civilization, reducing the need for propaganda that is usually required to receive the same amount of support.Although most of the support is not monetary, it is psychological, but that makes it all the more important because it removes the need for the nation to keep the citizens calm and positive about the war, as they themselves will be doing that on their own, and might even result in an increase in recruitment for their fighting forces.It also allows the nation to do very atrocious things, more than they would previously have been able to get away with, if they are doing it under the protection of moral superiority. The citizens of that nation will always point bac
