Chapter 98

Why did Aetherius call me by that name instead of mine? Does this mean I should also use this name? Well, it does sound nicer.

But I have a wife!!! And she's also a demon slayer, isn't she!?!?

He discarded his stray thoughts and looked at his wives, parents, relatives, followers, and people. "Now's not the time for these thoughts. Let's consider them when we return to the palace."

"Okay, let's go back now. I need to calm down a bit. I've gained a lot of insights and inspiration, and I want to try them out," he said. Everyone nodded in agreement, as they all had their own thoughts after the battle. Just witnessing the creation of the universe had evolved their consciousness to the level of Cosmic Humans.

Of course, it's just consciousness, but this has many benefits. First, they never face a bottleneck until they physically and spiritually reach the level of Cosmic Humans.

Secondly, their willpower has become frighteningly strong. Even death no longer scares them.

Most importantly, the benefits they gained were because of their Emperor. They had already pledged their loyalty to him, and their fates and futures had merged with his.

A week passed after this period.

In this week, the currency changed from Yen to Earthlink currency.

Nothing much changed except for the traditional banking transactions, which switched their currency. The most significant aspect of this currency was the discovery and arrest of all counterfeiters by KE's Civil Defense Army.

Trade increased by about 700% from before, all thanks to the completion of the construction of the Empire's Supreme University and hospitals and clinics.

Daichi had just finished building ten banks, five in Edo and the rest in every city where a bank was established.

This was a temporary measure because one bank per city was insufficient, but the banks' benefits were tremendous.

After creating about a trillion Earthlink currencies, KE paid salaries to employees and orphanages, leaving only 300 billion Earthlink currencies. The money will start accumulating in the banks next month, so there's no rush.

Isao found that 300 billion Earthlink currencies remained out of one trillion, even though the Empire's population was 25 million people. This was due to some new laws introduced by KE.

Most of the money went to salaries for children from birth to 25 years old to help families have more children.

For KE, space is no longer an issue. If the universe fills up in the future, he'll create another one and will continue doing this because the Empire needs more vitality. Increasing the human population is very important for his abilities.

When Daichi completed the construction of the Empire's Supreme University, all children aged four to 25 were enrolled.

After registration, everyone went to their classrooms where they were taught mathematics, physics, chemistry, science, history, and most importantly, the class on Etheora refinement.

Before this, KE took about 10,000 people and taught them whether they were professors at the Empire's Supreme University, part of the Empire's medical wing, or in many other professions.

KE also opened the technology and scientific research department, exciting all scientists in the Empire, who applied to work there.

Their enthusiasm stemmed from the fact that their research was funded by the Emperor and the Empire, giving them access to many of the Empire's secrets, including KE's highest secret, his eye abilities, which put them in a state of complete stasis.

Seeing Gaya and Alaya laugh because they were like them but seeing others with such expressions made them feel comfortable.

KE's new ability is crossing.

This ability allows him to cross into other universes without having to traverse the cosmos with his power.

If KE wanted to cross to other universes with his power, he had to reach the realm of {Forgotten Memory Rank Complete Forgotten Memory World}, or he might die because even with the power of {Forgotten Memory Rank Complete Forgotten Memory World}, there is a risk of death.

Crossing universes through a spacetime tunnel is not something his body could ordinarily withstand.

So, acquiring the crossing ability was very good. The problem is that he can't fight against the cosmic guards because each of them was beyond the realm of {Forgotten Memory Rank Complete Forgotten Memory World} and reached the realm of gods.

Therefore, if KE wanted to use the crossing skill without alerting the cosmic guards to his presence, he had to use his fate and luck skills and tamper with the cosmos to choose which family or race he was born into.

Rebirth is just tampering with everyone's memories in the universe that parents bore him, but this is nonsense. It's just returning his body to what it was at the age of four.

He always wanted to go to other universes to gather information and study different cosmic laws from those in their universe.

To increase his strength, he needed to study, read, and learn everything since he wanted to be the strongest and prepare himself to tread on anything that obstruct s his path.

Of course, this isn't his only supernatural ability.

But for him, the most important thing now is watching his Empire evolve correctly, which invigorates him.

With 300 billion Earthlink currencies left, he began investing 50 billion in paving roads and building Etheora network towers.

Yes, KE intends to build Etheora network towers to create a direct connection point to the heavenly world. Since he has already created the universe, he is ready for action, and of course, this includes the internet as he has already started building various stores.

These stores include car and bike shops made in the factories he built in the dimensional cube and stores for electronic devices, phones, and tablets.

To build these stores, KE invested 100 billion Earthlink currencies in them and invested another 100 billion in supermarkets to sell Etheora-enriched products.

He also destroyed all the red-light district houses because his Empire doesn't need this disgusting industry.

Only 50 billion remained, which he invested in building railways with Etheora-enriched metals. He had plans to develop engines powered by Etheora, so he intended to research train, ship, and airplane technology.

He wanted these projects completed in two weeks, making Daichi work day and night non-stop. Daichi's heart was filled with gratitude towards his Emperor for taking his daughter and sending her to the Empire's Supreme University, ensuring her future would be different from his.

He's just a brilliant engineer, but his daughter will become something higher than him, and this is his wish.

KE once again blessed his people with various Etheora refinement techniques, making them evolve remarkably. Many of them have already made breakthroughs to the realms of {Migrating Mirage Rank Small Illusion World} and {Migrating Mirage Rank Moving Illusions World}.

KE also went to Kagaya and Tanjuro, taking their families to his palace. He let everyone in the Empire know they were relatives of their Emperor, making them feel a bit jealous and envious, but they didn't care.

Tao finished building a special machine that makes identity cards for the Empire and sends them to the Civil Registry Management Office. Within three days, every person in the Empire received their personal identity card and became a true citizen of the Empire.

All villages were destroyed, and all people moved to different cities, making KE discuss with Daichi the idea of building five additional cities next month.

Daichi nodded and made a preliminary city plan, which he gave to KE, who approved it immediately.

These five cities were very important to him because he wanted to build spacecraft there with all the scientists and thinkers. With the knowledge they have, they have the capability to do so.

As for the people of his Empire, they were all real scientists. As long as they read a book once, they memorized it and could even add their ideas to advance sciences, whether physics, chemistry, mathematics, and others, all thanks to the Etheora refinement technique and even when he blessed them several chapters ago, increasing their intelligence and wisdom.

He also trained his guards, including Raizel, because they were somewhat weak as his guards, they must be the best, so they received hell-level training.

He gives them training schedules and sends them to the dimensional cube to train there. He sent his wives, parents, and even relatives there too because they were very weak.

He gave all his servants Etheora refinement techniques at the beginning of the chapters, and now they have the power.

When KE noticed there was no more work because all the people working under him had learned from him and didn't need his opinion except for a few things because he had given them his full trust to develop the Empire.

"Sigh, finally, I have nothing left," KE rubbed his shoulders while throwing two files, each with a strange name. The first was called Project Infinite Etheora Creation, and the other was Project Etheora Power Stations.

"I've finally finished, KE," Gaya came and sat on his left lap, while Alaya sat on his right lap. "We missed you so much."

"Hahaha, I know. Sorry for making you wait," KE gently kissed his wives as their hands began to move towards his robe. He looked at them in surprise but smiled at them. "Let's start here. I want this room to be filled with the scent of our love."

"Annnn," as the moans from his wives filled the room, he covered the place with a small matrix to silence it and tore off all his wives' clothes.

Soon, sounds of kissing, clapping, and begging emerged.
