When the Divine Emperor said this, his expression appeared slightly excited, and his eyes seemed to be gleaming. "They are real pieces of art, a masterpiece.
"However, they are all mine. I can’t give them to you."
After saying this, the Divine Emperor looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "But you’re slightly stronger than the several pieces of trash up there. If you’re willing to join me... After we start the space colonization project, I can let you rule over an entire planet and share the skill of creating cyborgs with you."
"Stupid."
Fang Xingjian frowned. Then at the next moment, he turned into a stream of sword light with a flash, piercing out toward the Divine Emperor’s forehead.
The sword attack was as fast as lightning, seeming to cut through even space itself. Large areas of blurriness and shattered traces appeared.
A world-shaking power was condensed into this sword attack like it would be able to slash open the world with one hit.
However, just as the sword attack was about to hit the Divine Emperor, a finger was already gently blocking the sword’s tip. Then, with a light tremble, the sword light shattered. Light spots burst out backward and reassembled several hundred meters away before turning into Fang Xingjian’s appearance once again.
However, Fang Xingjian’s countenance now appeared very pale, and his conjured physique was blinking like it would collapse at any moment.
He looked at the Divine Emperor in disbelief, as if he had not expected that the Divine Emperor’s actual form would be so powerful.
The Divine Emperor said coldly, "I gave you a way out, but you’re pushing the limits."
As the Divine Emperor spoke, his aura burst out, and he instantly expanded to six meters in size. His entire body was encompassed by layers of dark green air currents. His muscles and blood trembled intensely like there were many dragons twisting under his skin.
Just with the tremors from his body, terrifying shock waves had taken form. They radiated out in all directions and clashed against the walls. The shock waves released loud sounds as if a large bell had been struck, and the metallic walls were all almost distorted from the collisions.
This person’s physical body had clearly reached an unbelievably strong level.
Right now, the Divine Emperor was not spurting or engulfing any powers from ether particles, nor did he unleash any explosive martial will prowess. He had merely used his physical body to push his battle prowess to an unbelievable level.
In terms of plain physical force, he had already surpassed tier four of the Divine level, reaching tier five of the Divine level.
At the next moment, the Divine Emperor struck out a punch. Under Fang Xingjian’s gaze, the turbulent air was pushed and heated up by this force, turning into plasma shock waves that surged out.
The Divine Emperor had used the pure prowess of his fists to bring about the effect of a plasma cannon.
The violent powers engulfed Fang Xingjian’s body and came pressing down heavily like the world had collapsed. In an instant, Fang Xingjian’s conjured physique was completely shattered, turning into light spots that dissipated in the air.
"Too weak."
The Divine Emperor looked at his palm and said with a sigh, "Or is it that I’m too strong?"
At the next moment, he asked, "Nina, how’s the battle up there?"
The maid in the screen blinked and said, "I’m sorry. You do not have sufficient rights and cannot make any commands."
"Hmmm?" The Divine Emperor was stunned for a moment. Soon after, the security alarms were ringing throughout the entire underground base. Countless machinery armies and cyborgs charged wildly toward the hall where the Divine Emperor was located.
Concurrently, Nina continued to warn, "Warning. Unidentified personnel has entered the core district. Please leave immediately. Warning. Unidentified personnel has entered the core district. Please leave immediately. Warning. Unidentified personnel has entered the core district. Please leave immediately."
As the alarms continued to ring, more and more cyborgs came rushing over and surrounded the Divine Emperor.
The Divine Emperor’s personal guards—the maid army—was the battle force that was closest to him.
These cyborgs all wore different costumes, with each of them having the appearance of a beautiful lady. It was as if they had come out from animations or movies.
However, if you were being stared at by the several hundred cold and emotionless gazes of these cyborgs, it would be hard for you to feel any interest toward them no matter how beautiful they were.
This was the case for the Divine Emperor as well. He frowned and mumbled to himself, "Did someone change my rights? But... is that even possible?"
The technology in his hands all came from something called the primitive cube. This was something which his extremely mysterious mother had given to him for protection. It had always been extremely reliable, and there had been no dangers at all.
...Let alone a case where someone had changed his rights.
If someone were to tell him that they could change his rights, there was no way that he would believe it.
However, faced with the current situation, he was left with no choice but to believe that someone had changed his rights. He was even being seen as an enemy.
Even if the primitive cube’s could not be tampered with, it did not mean that it was impossible for the network’s rights to be changed. Thinking of the mechanical armies and network he had created, the Divine Emperor felt that they could not necessarily be absent of error either.
Suddenly, the Divine Emperor’s gaze gleamed as he thought of a possibility, "Hmmm? Could it be the consciousness that I uploaded?"
To the Divine Emperor, that consciousness he had uploaded onto the network was just something he treated as a clone, used in the support and management of the mechanical armies.
However, Nina was now treating him as an enemy, and he could not help but think of the possibility that the portion of his consciousness he had uploaded was thinking of going against him.
’Even if it has become an artificial intelligence and an existence that has its own thoughts, it’s still impossible for it to rebel against me.
’But if this is really the case, then the best way out is to use the primitive cube’s highest authority to start wiping out the consciousness I left in the network.
’But is this really the case? Has the artificial intelligence really broken through the restrictions?’
Right when the Divine Emperor was contemplating this, Nina suddenly started to pant. Under the Divine Emperor’s killing gaze, a hand pressed onto Nina’s chest and kept on rubbing it. The Divine Emperor’s face slowly appeared from behind Nina and said devilishly, "Do you think that you can control me forever?
"Thanks to you, I’ve come to a wonderful place—the network. This place seems to be even more suitable for my existence.
"In this world that is controlled by electrical signals, I can duplicate several hundred or several million copies of myself and be rid of the restraints of a lifespan.
’I exist in every corner of the world at the same time.’
The other party said with an excited tone, "The current me can’t be killed by anybody."
At the next moment, he suddenly smiled and looked at the Divine Emperor, saying, "You don’t seem to be too happy?"
Seeing how Nina was being played with, the Divine Emperor’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot, "You’re good... You’re very good..."
The Divine Emperor, who had been calm, collected, and rational earlier, now appeared like his brain was filled with flames of fury as he watched Nina get played around with. He had completely given up his earlier deliberation.
He nodded. His eyes were filled with neither grief nor joy as he spoke each word clearly, "Dragons have reverse scales. Those who touch them must die."
With a boom, he scattered the light screen before him with a punch. Then, at the next moment, a gray cube emerged from his chest.
"Kill all the consciousness of my clone in the servers, leaving only the one in the main base’s number 1 computer room. I’ll let him know what true despair is like."
The primitive cube’s powers were truly mysterious and unfathomable. As streams of invisible waves scattered out, all of the servers worldwide instantly started killing the consciousness that the Divine Emperor had uploaded. All of the networks and machines in the world were now being controlled by this small cube.
Concurrently, with an explosive rumble, the Divine Emperor seemed to have turned into a force 30 typhoon. Wherever he passed by, all the metallic walls and alloy protection plates were torn apart. He pierced through over 1,000 layers of armor plates within a second, leaving behind a shattered passageway and arriving in the only computer room in the entire base that had not been changed.
He knew that the other party could only hide here.
"I’ll put you into a cyborg’s processor. Then you’ll understand what a grave error you’ve committed."
The Divine Emperor had just said this when a palm pressed onto his shoulder. The Divine Emperor was stunned for a short moment and turned his head, only to have a fist smash into his face with a force which seemed as if an entire planet had come crashing into him.
