Back at Julian's home the Emperor of man sat on his couch watching a Hologram Fight with background music playing. His eyes stared at the Show but his mind wandered, he silently questioned his current existence. He now had a system that practically gave him the abilty to become invincible and wealthy ridiculously easy.
All good things come with a cost of course, He knew about the kill requirements but was still mostly oblivious to the Systems internal actions such as releasing dopamine when he kills or when he harms others.
Another major issue was although he could become strong with an evil system it would take a long time to level up now that he was at the later stages of the Cultivation path. As for His mechanic rank he was distraught when looking at its requirements. In order to reach the next level he needed to kill over 900,000 thousand humans. Technically all kills from all citizens of the empire go to him so he does not have to personally kill anyone but he also did not want to order others to commit genocide on his behalf. As he thought to himself the number of killed humans rose 1 every 3 seconds, supirised Julian looked at it again only to see the kill rate increase to 4 or 5 a second. It seems someone who was affiliated with him was killing a lot of people, he checked his spam folder and couldn't find any quick deaths of his own citizens so he figured his men were killing other humans from somewhere else.
The Anount of humans killed each second drastically increased and in the next second it jumped up by 300,000 reaching over half of the requirement to level up. even more confused he browsed through his notifications again and found the cause. Apparently King James was in Hathan right now without his knowledge and was fighting with the hathan Army. He wanted to speak with James but he realized he had no Pylons in the area of Hathan so his psychic energy couldn't reach him at the moment.
While he was debating whether or not to intervene a small black cloud of Psychic force hovered next to his own soul.
" You know we have been to hathan before right? "
The shadows voice spoke and Julian remembered all of his past in a split second. He looked at the Dark black Cloud and was hesitant.
" Awww what are you waiting for? teleport over there and stop this massacre. Or are you going to let it happen. you say I'm the evil one and you say you don't want to kill, so why are you hesitating right now? You have the power to stop this immediately, is it that you don't want to stop it? hahahahaha seems our fusion affected you more than I first thought. "
" God dammit will you shut up already "
" Sheesh I'm just saying what we're both thinking aren't I? don't be such an ass ok. Well I'm done insulting you, I'll be watching everything you do. "
A confused and angry God Emperor sat on his couch and punched the air in frustration.
" Fuck it, I'm going to ignore this and go work on things in the Underground lab. "
Julian moved the memory into the back of his soul and stopped thinking about it as the kill count rapidly increased by more than 2 million.
[ Congratulations you have leveled up to The Expert Mechanic stage ]
1,545,888/10,000,000
[ New Technologies unlocked ]
Seeing this Julian felt a momentary sense of guilt before continuing down an elevator that lead to the underground Cavern.
" Ted incorporate the new technology and have the factories began construction of new War machines. Tell William that he can officially begin selling the old Trucks to the citizens, these new trucks we can create are a lot better.
After briefly viewing all the new technology made available to him he was slightly ok with ignoring the war in Hathan. He now had access to technology from the 1990s from earth.
Instead of producing old 1940 era tanks the factories now started producing more advanced M1 Abrams and far more advanced leman russ battle tanks along with advanced bombers and fighters. His Krieg bots upgraded considerably and could now move easier and faster than they could before. New alloy made them even more resistant to attacks than before and their weapons were now even better. Of course none of these items had been built yet but were now under construction.
Now that all of his mechanized army was outdated Julian wanted to upgrade them but now he also had to make new factories to upgrade the current Army.
Upon his visit he was greeted by one of the machine lord's who happily reported their progress.
" My glorious Emperor it is great to see you down here. We gave made great progress teaching the recruits how to work with the machinery. So far we have 2,000 Graduates who can maintain 1 or more different vehicles with their current knowledge. "
" That's good to hear but I already knew that. Make all your reports to the Ai or to William I am busy. "
The machine lord had a dissapointed look on his face and left quickly.
Seeing the sad look on the mans face as he left Julian sent him a quick telepathic message. " I am proud of your progress and I am sorry for my response, keep up the great work Creation Lord! "
Hearing this the sad man became cheerful and held his head up high as he made his way back to his office.
[ A guest from the Covenant has arrived to speak with you ]
' The Covenant? '
Hearing this notification Julian teleported and reappeared in a room with a guard and the so called Covenant member.
" Ah hello Julian it is good to meet you, I am Councilman Dravot and I am here today to share some important information with you. "
Julian looked at Councilman Dravot with suspicious eyes and spoke
" How do you know my name and what information are you here to tell me? "
" The Elders told me your name and the information I have to discuss with you relates to the survival of this backwater territory. "
Julian's eyes hardened at the insult and Motioned for the council man to continue with his words.
" Come on then, tell me! "
The councilman removed his hood revealing Dark blue skin along with pure white eyes and 4 sets of antenna growing from his forehead.
" You may not know this but you along with all the other races living in the Territories around you reside in the Zama Region which resided at the far left corner of the Great Voidan Continent. If you don't believe me take a look at this detailed map of the entire Voidan Continent. "
[ Map updating ]
As he read the map he realized what kind of ridiculous world he was actually in. The mountain range he lived in was the size of the United States. The blue sun Territory as a whole was like the Continental United States compared to the solar system. That wasn't all though, the Voidan Continent wasn't the only Continent nor was it the biggest. Infact the Voidan Continent was the southern most Continent on what the map refered to as the Great Ark.
A tired look appeared on his face after he put the map down.
" So you have seen that my words are the truth. Now that is out of the way let me tell you my real reason for coming here. Approximately 15 million miles to the north of this territory above the dark Elf Homeland is the Eacture Domain which is home to my species. Unfortunately due to the death of several Covenant members in this territory the chaos gods have managed to open several thousand cracks all over the Voidan Continent. Thankfully most have been dealt with by the Covenant but some are much more powerful than others. The crack in my homeland is one such crack, and nearly all of my species has been eradicated by the Hordes of chaos. Which is why I am here today. I Dravot Banas beg for your assistance, I do not want my species to die out and leave me as the lone survivor. "
Julian who was still processing the map looked up and spoke.
" if this is a chaos related issue why hasn't the Covenant you work for taken care of it themselves? Why do you have to come here and beg me for assistance? "
* sigh *
" As I told you the Zama Region is a backwater region and there are other cracks in more important regions that the Covenant is busy with which leaves me with no other options but to beg the leaders of the nations of this region for aid. "
" Why have you come to me and not the Emperor of the Zavalla Empire? Surely they would be a better nation to beg for help to. "
Dravot laughed at the question and replied casually
" I have an abilty to sense those with strong psychic powers. When I sensed you I saw a wild unrestrained Inferno of Psychic force but when I saw the zavalla empires Emperor I saw a weak flame the size of a dog. It was nothing compared to yours which Surpassed that of the flames in the surrounding Territories. "
The praise was music to his ego and Julian gave his honest answer.
" I will check it out but if it turns out to be too dangerous I will leave without warning.
a look of joy appeared on Dravot's blue face and his antenna shook back and forth, it looked pretty weird to Julian but he let it go.
" That is good enough for me, those old goons from the other races have all ignored me. The only one who actually said he would help me was the Leader of the Dark elves Lord Gekis. "
This piece of information was surprising considering just how big of a threat such a gate was to the regions safety as a whole. Plus he didn't think he would have anything to do with one of the big 4 this soon, sure he overpowered Lord gekis in Psychic might but Gekis had 5 major realms on him and he had yet to see the power of such a figure so he didn't know if he could defend himself.
" Tell me Dravot, aren't you Councilman banned from interfering in worldly affairs? How come you are here alive and well. "
Dravot smirked at the question and nodded
" While it is against my oaths to directly intervene it is not against my oath to rally the populace to fight against Chaos. If I were to pay you for your actions it would count as me interfering but if my race were to reward you than it would not affect me. And I guarantee you they will reward you greatly. Here let me teach you how to use Psychic fire. "
He pulled out a booklet and handed it to Julian who opened it and began to read.
[ You have learned how to use Psychic Fire ]
" Let me teleport you there, are you able to leave immediately? "
" Yeah I can go now "
" Great! "
Dravot grabbed Julian's hand and they disappeared from place. The two appeared in the skies above a fortress city overlooking a Ridiculously massive gorge. A single narrow bridge connected the two sides and an endless battle went on, The Hordes of chaos to the north and Dravots people to the south.
" This is the Last bastion of the Eula People, Just south of this grand city is the Border Fortress yolask Controlled by the Dark elves. We have Divided our forces to control The only two Bridges that connect this Gorge. Thankfully this great gorge extends far off into the edges of the Zama Region so this is the only way for them to make it across. At the bottom of the Gorge is a True fire lava stream so any chaos demons that fall down will die quickly. "
" Yes this is a big issue, If they break through here My lands will be in danger and in the future if they break through the surrounding Territories and domains who control territory along the Great gorge it would put my lands in even more danger. It seems I have no choice but to help you here Sir Dravot. I will advance through the gate with the Psychic fire but before I do that I will unload several Thousand construction bots and begin fortifying this place till not even an ant can pass unnoticed.
He flew down to the city outskirts and released several thousands construction bots into the empty fields. The ai gave them their orders remotely and they began to work. Several hundred Robot factories were now underway and the beautful light from the workers arms filled the night sky. Dravot was stunned by what he saw and so were the Citizens and refuges of the Eula People. Dravot worked to Calm everyone down and then spread the news to the Leaders and High rank Cultivators still alive in the City Palace.
Julian flew into the sky and took a moment to take a look at everything. The Fortress city was massive and filled to the Brink with Eula People. The lands north the Gorge was pitch black and filled to the brim with Millions of demons as far as the eye could see and Julian could see remarkably far. " I wonder how much I'll level up from this, Ted I'll be gone for a while. '
Julian teleported far To the north Directly above the Vast Horde. He breathed in and out heavily and in the next instant his psychic power surged. The demons in the area all looked in his direction and madly dashed towards him forming hills that stretched Into the sky. Once again he breathed in and out further pushing his power out. The Demons got even fiercer as they desperately made their way into the sky. He breathed in and out a final time and the entirety of his Psyhic power now Surged all around him like a Tornado. Julian raised his hand and spoke
" I'll name this move SuperNova! "
His hand turned to a Fist and the Psychic tornado Turned into a Psychic Fire Inferno that spread horrendously fast in all directions. The demons that were so close turned to dust. Julian watched as his flame flew outwards, a satisfied smile on his face.
