Chapter 221: Our Emperor Has Returned
Solar system.
In the psionic beacon that had just been built, Erwa, the chairman of the Star Language Court, the host of the Star Torch Court, and many high-ranking state ministers stood by Sivel's side, giving him a detailed report.
"Lord Sivir, the psychic ritual has been prepared."
After hearing the reports of these high-level officials, Sivir lowered his head and looked at the Imperial Sword in his hand, and for some reason, a trace of uneasiness appeared in Sivir's heart.
But the arrow has to be struck, the crisis is looming, and the empire needs to move forward faster. Although the probability of falling is greatly increased, the Empire has no choice.
Sivir turned around, raised the Imperial Sword in his hand, and shouted orders to the many psykers in front of him!
"Action, let's go!"
...
...
The Psionic Beacon, a beacon that draws energy from subspace and uses that energy to light the course of Imperial ships in subspace.
However, at this time, the Imperial ships have been upgraded, except for some special models or ships with special missions, the Empire's current navigation mainly relies on hyperspace and computer navigation systems.
Therefore, the psionic beacon at this time is like chicken ribs for the empire, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.
But Sivir would never have spent a lot of imperial resources to build such a "useless building".
Although the current psionic beacon has completed the entire construction process, it can only be called complete in the true sense of the word until the following psionic rituals are completed.
Illuminating the course is only the most basic function of psionic beacons.
After completing the following rituals, the Psionic Beacon will be an excellent tool that will be of great help to the Empire.
So what is this ritual? It's just an ordinary summoning ritual.
Let's start with an introduction to how psionic beacons work.
Psionic beacons can extract infinite subspace energy in subspace, and then use them to project a light in subspace that can illuminate the entire galaxy.
At all times, there is an extremely amazing flow of subspace energy in the psionic beacon. And to control this power, even to influence it slightly, is simply impossible for ordinary psionics to do.
Therefore, if the Empire wants to calibrate and project the psionic beacons, or do something else with the subspace energy in the psionic beacons, it must assemble a large army of psykers.
Even the minimum standard of this psionic force must be alpha level, otherwise ordinary psionic people will only be swept away wantonly in front of this subspace energy like a giant wave like a drowning person on the sea.
In order to monitor and control these psionic forces that control psionic beacons, the empire must also place a large number of state cultists and anti-psionic forces on the psionic beacons.
Only in this way will the Empire be able to function normally as a psionic beacon.
But in terms of cost and security, this method is inferior to another plan of the Empire, an astonishing one proposed by Sivir.
In the empire at this time, there was something almost identical to the psionic beacon, and it could even be said that part of the psionic beacon was a reference to it.
However, although the Star Torch that now illuminates the Empire is nominally maintained, managed, and controlled by the Star Torch Court, there is actually only one person who truly controls this human lamp - the Emperor.
A powerful human psyker like never before.
And this is exactly Siwell's plan, to control the psionic beacon through an extremely powerful, even far beyond the alpha level.
It's not impossible, and Sivier can take on such a task himself. Maybe the former "hero" Machado, the genetic prototype Magnus can also do.
But as the regent of the empire, Sivir naturally can't be the administrator of a psionic beacon, and now, where is there a psionic person in the empire who can compete with him.
But what if you don't, the empire makes it itself!
In addition to the Psionic Beacon, the Empire has also secretly built another megastructure - the Psionic Siphon.
This is a completely stable psionic siphon built around the star. The portal connecting reality to subspace has been fully activated, and this connection to subspace will release pure subspace energy essence, greatly enhancing our psionic potential.
Humanity is one step closer to becoming a powerful psionic race.
In addition, the psionic siphon creates a space in the subspace where a huge amount of psionic energy gathers. Any psyker who manages to successfully draw energy from the pool will become incredibly powerful.
However, it can only be used by one person at a time, and there are risks involved.
An Imperial psyker who had been selected through a variety of harsh conditions entered the psionic siphon, and when the huge amount of energy was transmitted to him, the entire subspace seemed to tremble.
Unfortunately, his mind seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure. Perhaps no living creature can possess such power. In a psionic explosion, he died along with those around him.
It's a pity, but it's only a failed attempt to create a powerful psyker on behalf of the Empire. When it comes to manipulating psionic beacons, Sivir has other options.
In fact, Sivir already had a plan for the control of the psionic beacon. Psionic strong siphons to create powerful psionics are nothing more than an alternative. Unfortunately, this option was the first to fail.
So where does the Empire find other powerful psionics who can control psionic beacons? Answer: Eucalyptus is found in subspace.
And the identity of this powerful psionic is not difficult to guess, it is an emperor who has controlled the star torch for thousands of years.
Since the emperor alone has controlled the Star Torch for so many years, it is not a problem to believe a few more, all for the sake of the empire.
With Sivir's order, millions of psionics, engineers, and members of the state religion in the psionic beacon began to prepare for another aspect of the "galactic miracle" in this galactic miracle.
The Torch itself is just the Emperor's psionic focusing device, and the Emperor can of course control his own psionic energy. But psionic beacons are different, its energy is directly extracted from the subspace, and it is not so simple to control these chaotic subspace energies.
As such, it is different from the Emperor's method of controlling the Star Torch. Sivir intends to use countless psionics to perform a psychic ritual that will summon an emperor's psionic avatar in reality, placing him in a real-life psionic beacon to control this amazing device.
If we combine psionic energy with technology, it is possible to transform an entity in the subspace from an invisible mass of energy into a substance that allows it to act in reality.
It sounds similar to the ritual that cultists use to summon demons. And it is true, there is no essential difference between this ritual and summoning demons.
But I advise you to leave the emperor's affairs alone.
Through the countless psionics in the psionic beacons, the psionic beacons have established an initial psionic link with the subspace, where a window has been opened between reality and subspace.
And in order to establish a more meaningful connection with the subspace and attract the divine and great beings in it, it is necessary for the Empire to use a special psionic energy transmitter to extend the psionic range of those who are able to ensure contact with the Emperor of God.
This consumes a huge amount of energy.
On the psionic beacon in the solar system, Sivir, as the Holy Son who is very closely connected with the emperor, personally led this ritual, and he used his psionic energy to instantly contact the emperor in the subspace.
However, the psionics on the psionic beacons in other star fields do not have this ability, and they can only use a huge number of "Emperor Coins" as energy sources and indexes, allowing their consciousness to wander around in the dangerous subspace, looking for the emperor's figure.
Fortunately, the Torch is still burning in the subspace, and it can show the way for the Empire's psionics.
And after establishing contact with the Emperor, countless psionics began to guide the Emperor's will to reality.
After days of summoning and praying, all the psionics in the Psionic Beacon finally opened a brief portal to the subspace.
At this time, a subspace creation broke through the space barrier and completed materialization in the galaxy! This avatar wields a powerful psionic energy and will use it to lash out at any subspace creature that comes close to the psionic beacon at this time.
But that doesn't mean it's over, and the attempt to summon the avatar was only partially successful. Although the Emperor's body has taken on its correct form and been brought to our universe, the Empire's psionics have not yet succeeded in channeling the Emperor's will into it.
Among the seven psionic beacons in the galaxy, those psionics use their psionic powers to channel the emperor's will into the psionic avatar created for the emperor's return.
Along the way, these psionics had to endure the harassment of countless subspace demons, resist the subspace creatures that attacked the psionic beacons, and prevent those subspace creations from rushing into reality to kill and destroy.
In addition to these, the psionics even had to endure the burning of the Emperor's powerful psionic energy. The Emperor's powerful psionic energy is like the sun, although it exudes a warm glow, but if ordinary people get too close, they will eventually burn themselves.
Although there are countless psionics who share these pressures, each psyker still feels a great deal of pressure.
Some psionics have even begun to suffer organ damage due to overuse of psionic energy, and some psionics have even died physically. His soul was still glaring at the demons in the subspace.
After days and nights of sleepless efforts by countless psionics, finally, finally!
The beacon is lit up!
The powerful psionic power filled the Emperor avatar in front of him. He channeled his great divine power, greatly enhancing the spiritual light within the beacon.
All of our Empire's psionics are now able to map their routes to anywhere in the galaxy and guide ships in days to travel distances that used to take years.
At the center of the solar system's psionic beacons, two heavy golden doors stand at one end of the room, like the entrance to a magnificent fortress. It is inscribed with countless magnificent pictures: intertwined twins, terrible centaurs, leaping lions, the scales of justice, and the list goes on.
This room belonged to that transcendent human being. There are great things, untapped potential, and dreams that are about to become reality.
Countless technicians, servants, and members of the Anglican walked through the labyrinthine corridors like blood cells in the bodies of living beings, and the heart they served was a ten-meter-tall golden throne rising from the ground in that room.
It resembled a hulking machine, connected by vine-like cables to the closed golden door at the other end of the room.
Everyone knows what is behind it, and his intelligence is unparalleled, and his imagination and creativity are unparalleled. Sitting on the massive throne and clad in golden armor, he is exercising his power over the entire empire.
Let's welcome the return of the Emperor!
...
...
Not all psionic beacon plans to summon the Emperor Avatar will go as smoothly as the solar system has Sivir dominating.
In several other star fields, the attacks of those subspace demons almost broke through the psychic defenses of the psionics and came to reality.
If this happens, then those psionics in the psionic beacons who have already exhausted their psionic energy will not be able to resist these demons at all. The plan to summon the Emperor's psionic incarnation would undoubtedly end in failure as well.
But that's not the scariest thing.
If the plan fails, you can continue to look for opportunities next time and do it again. But if some being intercepted the fruits of the empire's victory, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The psionic beacon located in the hazy star field is unfortunately targeted by some dark beings in the subspace.
Subspace, it's so weird, so unsettling, yet it's instantaneous...... Familiar. Anyone with psionic abilities has seen it in a dream, though they may not have known it at the time.
The psionics in the psionic beacon are now hovering back on the cliffs at the edge of this subspace, just a stone's throw away from the void between subspace and normal space, or the "real world".
In order to explore the deep subspace, they need to pay a huge price and also need a huge amount of energy. And this plan must not be taken lightly and abandoned lightly.
Even now, they are watched.
While the psionics in the psionic beacons of other regions are connected to the emperor in the subspace, the psionics on the psionic beacons in the hazy star field are connected to some unbelievable beings.
When these psionics came into contact with this being, they could feel the fluctuations in his heart, and his attention was now all on the psionic beacon.
Then a huge wave of psionic energy struck these psionics, obscuring their perceptions.
When they recovered, they found that some people were missing. Nowhere to be seen, there was only a trace of a small rift where it once stood, as if that entity had reached our world and dragged them into subspace, in order to ...... I don't know why.
But whatever he took it, there is no doubt that he will never see it again.
