Aemon: Did you see that? Orus. The hope you pinned, the hope of saving reincarnation – the Queen of the Blades – is dead. Soon, I will send a large army to the divine realm deep in Urna to completely destroy [Samsara].

Narud: Queen of Blades is dead, and the Worms and Astral Spirits are all gathered in Aemon's hands. Soon, the last of the forces of resistance will be crushed to death like the humans of the Tyranid Empire.

The two Sarnagars taunted Orus in the Void, and Orus was not affected by them.

Orus: You're wrong, Naruud. The insect and the star spirit are both in Zhao Yi's hands.

Purely sowing discord, Naroud, who had always hoped for the end of reincarnation, hurriedly stood up and spoke.

Naroud: Zhao Yi is loyal to Emon, there is no doubt about it.

Amen: Narud is right, and I thank you, Orus. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to discover Zhao Yi's talent at all.

Aurus: Aemon, do you really think I'm going to devote too much energy to an ordinary low-level life? Even if he knew that the Void was about to engulf the world?

Eamon: There is no hope for reincarnation, and there is no way to undo everything, so you will make a stupid move.

Aurus: You don't feel the essence of Zhao Yi, his soul is the product of the combination of time and space - this is definitely not accidental, nor is it the work of any Sarnagar. It's a creation of a higher-level creature than Sarnagar.

Aemon remained silent, fear creeping through his heart.

Eamon: Not just did you fool one Nerazim into working for you, you even wanted to fool two Sarnagars now.

Aurus: This is not a fool, when I let Zhao Yi gain the ability to transform into an archon, I engraved on his soul the Sarnagar divine power circuit that must circulate Sarnagar's divine power, just as countless Sarnagar who are about to grow old have gifted their power to the participants of reincarnation. However, no creature can carry a powerful Sarnagar divine power circuit without the essence of Sarnagar. And he did, even more than a living thing. Even if it's you and me.

Aamon: It's just a pity that he's loyal to me.

Aurus: Really? I see your destruction in his soul, which is filled with the power of time and space.

Naruod: Shut up! Soon, the fleets of insects and astral spirits will crush your supporters! The universe will be reshaped! The universe will be reborn! A perfect era is coming!

——————————————

After the Queen of Blades was killed, almost all of the Elstar Spirits were eager to join Zhao Yi in the fight. that he may share in his supreme glory. And for some reason, Zhao Yi's application for all Star Spirits or Hybrids was approved.

The more the merrier, the less the less, Zhao Yi frantically expanded the fleet under his command, insects, star spirits, and humans. Even if this frenzied expansion of the fleet will cause resentment and hatred among colleagues.

After all, the more troops he commands, the fewer the armies under other Star Spirits or hybrids.

Among them, Snales was the most dissatisfied.

Snales was a member of the Council of Light and Shadow, and before Aemon took control of the Golden Fleet, he was constantly using speeches to weaken Atanis's influence. After the Golden Fleet surrendered to Aemon, Snales became the new Archbishop of the Golden Fleet.

This was appointed by Aemon himself.

However, the archbishop has not been stable, and in foreign wars, Snales has lost more battles and won less, compared to a series of great victories achieved by Zhao Yi of Aemon's Shadow - the only defeat has also won the hearts of a large number of star spirits.

At the moment when Zhao Yi massively expanded his army, almost half of Archbishop Scales's troops were gone, and the rest were diehards—and a star spirit who was disgusted with Zhao Yi's human predecessors.

Growing dissatisfied, Snales decided to speak to Aemon in order to win back his army and Eamon's trust.

After spending a period of time gathering evidence against Zhao Yi, and uniting all the mixtures who were dissatisfied with Zhao Yi's power, Snales contacted Aemon in Kara.

——————

Snales: Aemon, the great god of darkness. I have the incriminating evidence of Zhao Yi's betrayal.

Eamon: He's loyal to me, there's no doubt about it. Archbishop of the Astral Spirit.

Snales: He's weakening your influence and expanding your sphere of influence.

Aemon remembered what Orus had said, and he remained silent.

Snales: He knew that Tadarin the traitor Aranak would defeat Marash in the Laxhir ceremony, but he left Tarisius and his gold fleet to watch the death of the Aemon's Blade. And after the death of Aemon's Blade, he was sent to prop up the long-standing Inseta and seize control of Tadarin.

Snales: Although the seizure of power was not successful, there are still half Tadarin loyal to Zhao Yi.

Emon: This is not enough to explain Zhao Yi's betrayal, and the reason is not sufficient.

Snales: Now that he's expanding his army, humans, astral spirits, insects, and half of your forces are in Zhao Yi's hands—intelligence suggests that his purpose in assembling his army is to go to Zerus, far away from your power, far away from the Koplu Star Zone.

Snales: Zerus is the birthplace of the Worm, and he can definitely gain infinite power here to expand his control over the Worm. This is very reasonable, he can gather star spirits and humans through glory, but he can only rely on his own strength to gather alien insects. Obviously, after obtaining the essence of the Queen of Blades, Zhao Yi wanted more, wanted more strength, and more alien insects.

Eamon: The reasons are still not sufficient.

Snales: After the death of the Queen of Blades and the absorption of the essence, he used the title of "Emperor of the Blades" to rule over the insects.

Aemon realized that Snales was speaking in a heavy tone on the Emperor of Blades.

Aemon: The Blade Emperor?

Snales: Yes, Emperor Blade. [Blade], like the blade of the Queen of Blades, is a prefix representing the supreme leader of the insects. And the word emperor comes from the word of the earth, the birthplace of mankind.

Snales: The emperor is the title of the human ruler in the feudal era, he implies the enormity of power, implies that everyone must be called a vassal, and means absolute—supremacy.

The word supremacy stung Emmon, if Zhao Yi is supreme, then what is Emmon?

Aemon remembered what Orus had said, and what Snales had said.

Eamon: I see.

With that, Aemon directly disconnected from Kara of Snales.

In his room, Snales let out a smug and wild laugh. He knew that Emon would weaken the army under Zhao Yi's command, although he didn't know how much, but it would be weakened after all.

Stupid humans!
