CHAPTER 845: CHAPTER 426: POSTWAR RECONSTRUCTION

"In the end, I am still a person of the Empire; the concept of making full use of things is really hard to change..."

The Ghost Emperor sighed one last time, and then his figure completely disappeared, leaving no trace behind.

He died.

Before his death, he wanted to save those millions of subjects, but he did not think of it as benevolence from a dying man.

Rather, it was just making full use of things.

The Ghost Emperor had once killed over a hundred million people, sacrificing populations of over a hundred million, just for a battle against Brutality. It was essentially making full use of things, as he never regarded those people’s lives as important.

Similarly, at the last moment, he did not regard his own life as important either.

Since he had to die, his life was just an "object," and should be used accordingly.

Die if you must; making some use before death is satisfying enough.

Even experiencing the long-desired Power of Time before death was an unexpected delight.

Su Yu somewhat agreed with this.

Su Yu lent the Power of Time to the Ghost Emperor, also with the intention of making full use of him, using him to bear the backlash.

Even earlier, Su Yu used the lives of tens of millions in the Mechanical City to stimulate his humanity, severing ties with the Pain Evil God; this too was a kind of "making full use of things."

Although Su Yu later revived these people, he did kill them once, and didn’t even inform them.

In a sense, this approach was also quite cruel.

But at this moment, Su Yu’s heart had no waves. Earlier, when these people died, Su Yu felt grief, deliberately stimulating his humanity to resist the erosion of the Pain Evil God.

Now that the Pain Evil God had been controlled and these people revived, naturally Su Yu had no more feelings of sorrow or guilt.

Ultimately, it was just the Ghost Emperor’s saying of making full use of things.

Moreover, hearing the Ghost Emperor’s final sigh, it seemed that the Human Empire at that time also had this ethos.

Was this practice an Empire tradition?

Viewed this way, the Empire’s conquest of the Galaxy wasn’t spontaneous; if everyone had this fierce style, their combat power must have been formidable.

Su Yu was even pondering if he knew he was doomed, could he also, like the Ghost Emperor, nonchalantly make full use of himself?

After a brief contemplation, Su Yu turned to the remains left behind after the Ghost Emperor’s death.

His body disappeared, but the items he carried did not.

After the Ghost Emperor’s death, he had nothing left besides his set of battle armor and a round mechanical creation.

The battle armor barely reached the fourth-class level, but the crafting technology wasn’t great; for the Ghost Emperor, it was only a piece of clothing, and it was already battered and useless from previous battles, only useful for recycling some materials at best.

The remaining item was that mechanical sphere.

Su Yu beckoned, taking the mechanical sphere into his hand. With a slight sense, he knew it was a "space generator," a mechanical creation capable of constructing a manifestation space.

It was somewhat similar to the personal space Su Yu promoted in the Mechanical City.

But this space generator, being Empire technology, only needed energy input to construct a manifestation space, and it could last a long time without needing maintenance by a Manifestation Mechanic like Su Yu. It was very convenient.

Moreover, the space inside was very vast.

At this moment, within the manifestation space of this space generator, a million people were quietly lying, along with some city fragments, which were the core remnants of the Radiation Ghost City.

The intelligent system of the space generator also recorded some information, which was left to Su Yu by the Ghost Emperor before his death.

It was the research results of the Ghost Emperor over the millennia, left for Su Yu in the spirit of making full use of things, as a form of repayment for Su Yu helping him save a million subjects.

Su Yu glanced at some of it, most of which was related to Ghost Energy, Power of Spirit, Fifth-tier rituals, and the Power of Time research.

Very valuable, it should help Su Yu in ascending to the fifth tier.

Su Yu recorded all this information into his memory, preparing to study it slowly later.

Then, he brought out all of the Ghost Emperor’s subjects from the manifestation space, laying them together with the residents of the Mechanical City, held aloft by his power, suspended in mid-air.

Then, Su Yu dispelled the Evil God Soldier Mecha, allowing this mecha to return to nihility.

Even though he restrained the powers of the Evil God Soldier Mecha as much as possible, if those residents awoke and saw the Evil God Soldier Mecha, they would immediately go mad or mutate.

The Evil God Soldier Mecha was truly transformed from a fifth-tier Evil God, and to gaze directly at this mecha was equivalent to facing the horrific Great Evil God of Brutality at that level, which ordinary people couldn’t withstand.

Thus, for Su Yu to awaken these people, he needed to dispel the Evil God Soldier Mecha first.

Once this mecha was dispelled, it disappeared immediately.

Once this mecha was dispelled, it didn’t enter Su Yu’s manifestation space like an ordinary Giant God Soldier Mecha to await orders.

Instead, it went to the "future," always separated from Su Yu by a fraction of a second in space-time.

The Evil God Soldier Mecha is essentially nihility, a future possibility.

It only became real after merging with Su Yu.

Now that it was dispelled, it immediately restored a part of its nihility essence.

But it still maintained a strong connection with Su Yu, even sharing a part of the vision.

If a fifth-tier strong enemy like Brutal Evil God were to attack, Su Yu could detect it instantly using the future vision of the Evil God Soldier Mecha.

Then, with just a thought, Su Yu could initiate "Mechanical Descent," summoning this terrifying fifth-tier mecha from the future, thus once again attaining the powerful fifth-tier capability.
