"Our goal is to grab money, food, and territory, you are the FFF Legion of the Empire, the Holy Flame will burn all heretics everywhere you go, let us burn all the heterosexuals in the universe."
After quickly reciting the above paragraph in a painful, single-tone and non-bullying state, Mu Yunshang looked at the door in front of him with a blank face.
Behind Mu Yunsheng, except for Mu Sashang, everyone else already knew the truth.
“…… Huh? Why didn't you guys react!? ”
Mu Yunsheng, who originally thought that he would be frantically complained about and ridiculed, found that there was no expected situation, and his heart began to be active again, and he actually took the initiative to mention this stubble.
"Ah, we all know what Your Majesty said."
"Mm-hmm, Sister Sasha is right!"
"Your Majesty...... His subordinates were standing behind you. ”
"Nelia 2 Type B (Type 2A, Type 2C...... His Majesty's instructions will be strictly followed! ”
……
If all of this can be understood, then—
"Hmph, stupid brother, I've guessed pretty much what you can say, but is that really the case? It's a little different from what I expected, but it's not much different. ”
Mu Sashang clasped her hands to her chest and rolled her eyes at Mu Yunsheng.
"Uh......" Mu Yunsheng, who always felt a little disappointed, looked at the previous emperor again, "That...... What about you? ”
"Me?"
The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched.
"Of course I was surprised, didn't you see the mosaic that I was all surprised to appear?"
Only then did everyone realize that the projection of the previous emperor was actually a little blurry compared to before.
"Well, when I didn't say anything......"
At this moment, the door that had been closed suddenly and slowly opened.
"After the real self ran out of life, it opened up this artificial space to store some important things, and although the remaining psionic energy cannot be compared with the heyday, it is enough to form a protective buffer structure to ensure that this space is not disturbed by the outside world, and later with this buffer structure as the center, the core of the current planet has been formed - so now we are inside the core."
Looking at the slowly opening door, the previous emperor said.
It's just that Mu Yunsheng, who had already walked into the door, didn't hear what he said clearly, not only him, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.
Mu Yunsheng's position in front of them is a skybridge that looks like it is about to extend to the end of the world, because the whole is made of a faint blue metal that emits a faint glow, so Mu Yunsheng, who is somewhat affected by his vision, did not accurately visually measure the width of this skybridge.
- but at least it is wider than the Heavenly (Divine Beast) Anmen Avenue.
Coral with a looming projection information screen in front of his eyes on the right said: "An unknown metal completely outside the Imperial Database, its physical properties are unknown, but what can be confirmed is that its strength will be very terrifying, even comparable to the strength of the current Empire's neutron armor after charging - my God, if this metal is used to build warships, the Imperial fleet will become a monster that no one can beat!" ”
"The current empire seems to me to be not far from the definition of a monster......"
Mu Yunsheng, who was a little distracted, muttered.
Above the overpass, there are countless magical beings like dreamy clouds, which is a unique state of energy that is thought to be too concentrated.
It's just that, looking at these cloud-like materialized high-intensity energies floating overhead, Mu Yunshang fell into doubts-these energies didn't seem to have any external conditions to interfere, why did they condense and not disperse?
“…… Your Majesty, there is something invisible to the naked eye. ”
It was 2B who spoke, and she and all the other young ladies went into a state of high alert after stepping into this space, which was not because they were worried about any danger, after all, this was the mausoleum of the previous emperor, and it was a dangerous death place for others, but it was a different matter for the emperor entirely.
2B They were so nervous because of their instinctive reaction to being in an environment where energy was highly active beyond their control.
Although the other young ladies are all high-end bodies produced by Fox Ziyue through 2B as a prototype, even if Fox Ziyue has done her best, the comprehensive strength of the other young ladies of the cup team is still significantly different from 2B, so when everyone is not aware of the abnormality, only 2B finds that something is wrong.
"Something invisible?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." 2B replied softly, and the ship slasher in her hand was always held in front of her, "It can't be seen by the naked eye, but it can be perceived by other detection methods, this should be something similar to crystals, with an extremely high energy conductivity, and these energies that have been materialized are because they are gathered inside by these crystals, so they have not escaped and exploded." ”
Is it an invisible crystal with an ultra-high energy conduction efficiency?
As the emperor, Mu Yunshang immediately thought that if this kind of thing was used on the imperial warship as an energy pipeline, the empire's war machine would inevitably become even more ferocious and terrifying.
(…… When did I become like those nitroglycerin-filled guys, and the first thing I thought about was its military use? )
Mu Yunsheng, who was shocked by her thoughts, patted her cheeks vigorously and received 2B's puzzled eyes.
It's just that Mu Yunshang is obviously not the only one who thinks like this.
Coral was staring at the top of her head with glowing eyes, and although she couldn't see anything either, it seemed to be a treasure in Sango's eyes.
"Your Majesty! This crystal empire must be obtained! This crystal is destined to be the Empire! It can only belong to the Empire! No matter how it came about! ”
Should it be said that he really deserves to be an officer under an ultra-militaristic empire? Look at the difference between Coral's taken for granted attitude and the behavior of the biggest hooligan on the planet who shouts 'You're undemocratic' and then fires a democratic missile at you?
And besides Coral, why are even Sasha and Pepeth, the two maids, nodding their heads as a matter of course! Aren't you maids? You only need to be responsible for contributing benefits every day, wouldn't it be nice to learn what kind of iron-blooded soldier should you be?
"Ahem...... Hmm,...... Grandpa, do you know anything about this crystal? ”
In fact, Mu Yunsheng, who also wanted to find out about this matter, decisively asked the previous emperor.
"This crystal, known as the 'Sano Gold Crystal' in my memory, is not a product that can be naturally formed in our universe."
"Not naturally formed? Man-made? ”
"No, it's not man-made—actually, the Sano Gold Crystal is from the Shroud. The Empire obtains this crystal directly from the Shroud. ”
Well, the Shroud.
Up to now, Mu Yunsheng, who was a little confused about how to open the door to the Void Realm, said that the current empire does not have to have extravagant hopes for a high-end and high-grade thing like Sano Jinjing-
"Your Majesty! Let's declare war on the Shroud! Coral immediately grabbed Mu Yunsheng's sleeve and looked at him with expectant eyes wide open.
Shut up! You warmongers!
Mu Yunsheng, who gave up his thirst for Sano Golden Crystal and temporarily suppressed this thought in the depths of his heart, began to look at the space around him.
Mu Yunshang didn't notice that he had actually begun to unconsciously be influenced by the empire and had some completely different thoughts from his previous self - yes, Mu Yunshang also subconsciously believed that Sano Jinjing would definitely belong to and only belong to the empire.
Except for the endless overpass and the high-concentration energy clouds above everyone's heads, if the rest of the environment is to be described, it can only be accurately represented by the words "bizarre".
The unimaginably large space does not seem dim, except for the sky bridge under your feet and the energy cloud overhead, there is always a bright light that cannot be seen in the environment you are in, and everyone sees it.
Mu Yunshang could clearly see that at the end of the line of sight, there was a huge crystal wall. The crystal walls that envelop the entire space are so huge that they resemble an entire continent vertically aligned, and just looking at them makes you feel your legs go weak and feel a huge oppressive force.
In this space, there are countless intersecting alloy skeletons, energy obelisks suspended in the air, and various mystical runes that connect these countless obelisks and spread throughout the space.
That's right, it's a curiosity like an arcane rune in a fantasy world.
Perhaps because of the existence of the 'extreme idealism' ideology in the characteristics of the empire, Mu Yunshang was not surprised in the face of these runes that were obviously somewhat irrelevant to science, but had a feeling in his heart that he should have been like this.
Psionic powers, runes, these things that are unscientific at the first sound of the name are easily accepted in the Empire - or perhaps they should be accepted in the first place.
The distance between these energy obelisks is at least measured in kilometers, but because the space is so large and the number of obelisks is so large that there are ghosts, it gives people a dense feeling when viewed.
Mu Yunshang is extremely glad that she is not a person with dense phobia.
The alloy flyover, which I thought was stunningly large when I first saw it, looked inconspicuous in such an obelisk jungle, like an inconspicuous grass in a savannah.
The energy runes that wandered between the obelisks were not irregular, and in addition to connecting the different obelisks to each other, they also seemed to be showing a trend in general—all the runes were converging in front of everyone.
Or, to be more precise, all the obelisks are faintly worshipping in the center of this vast space. And the overpass where Mu Yunshang and the others are now leads to this space.
"It's spectacular...... It's spectacular......"
Mu Yunshang looked at the magnificent scenery in front of her and muttered to herself.
Unlike her, the rest of the people didn't react much, even Mu Sasaki, who was used to seeing a lot of magnificent sights as Imperial officers, and Mu Sasaki - maybe because there were more magnificent landscapes than these in her fragmented future memories.
"Here it is...... Lost Temple Center? ”
Mu Yunshang turned his head to the modern emperor and asked.
"Hmm...... Grandpa, why are you still vague now? ”
"This is not the center yet, this is just the innermost part of the outer buffer zone of the entire temple, and after crossing this buffer zone, we can really enter the temple."
The previous emperor replied slowly, but did not explain why his body was still vague.
Mu Yunshang is a more delicate person, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly spoke: "Grandpa...... Is there something wrong with you? Your body has been blurry since just now, and you said earlier that you were surprised by my imperial manifesto and that the mosaic was a lie, right? ”
The previous emperor looked down at Mu Yunsheng and suddenly laughed.
"Have you found out? But it's only a matter of time, me...... It's going to disappear. ”
"Disappear!? What's going on!? ”
"Isn't it obvious?"
Facing the sudden change in color, the previous emperor slowly explained.
"As I said, I'm just the last insurance I left behind before I die, only with some scattered memories and part of my personality, not even a complete soul - I'm not really the one hundred and eighty-third emperor, I'm just the management AI of this temple, an AI with the memory and personality given by the one hundred and eighty-third emperor, and the meaning of existence is to wait for a future emperor to come to the temple and take away the legacy left by 'him' back then."
"Now, you're here, so my mission is complete, and the preconditions that support my existence no longer exist."
The mission is done, so it can't be non-existent?
Sango, the cup team, and the two maids all looked calm, and Mu Sashang didn't react much, only Mu Yunshang subconsciously stretched out his hand towards the previous emperor, but was stunned after the palm passed through the other party's body.
“……………… Sure enough......"
Putting down his hand dejectedly, Mu Yunshang sighed in frustration, but suddenly thought of something, and asked instead:
"The Empire can fix yours!"
With the Empire's magical technology, it should be easy to solve this problem.
However, the first emperor shook his head and refused: "It's useless, don't bother for this, I'm not the real first emperor, I'm not your real grandfather, I'm a fake." ”
"But ......"
"That's it!"
The previous emperor waved his hand to interrupt Mu Yunsheng's words.
"The Emperor of the Empire must not be weak! There are some things I don't understand, but one thing is certain—and that is that the responsibility on your shoulders is heavier than any previous emperor! ”
"Why is the empire affected by the state of time stagnation, why is it that you are the next emperor, but the empire under your rule is showing the appearance of the initial state of the empire, these things need to be solved by you!"
"I have a hunch...... Child, you are the last hope of the entire empire, and if you don't solve the strange predicament that the empire is currently facing, the once glorious empire may be wiped out. ”
"I ......"
Mu Yunshang lowered her head, and after being silent for a long time, she nodded heavily.
"I see, I won't let you down!"
"Empire, leave it to me!"
