The swarm of insects outside was killing fiercely, almost dyeing half of the universe red, and there was no peace in the Milky Way either.
Although the Tyranid Zerg army was blocked outside the Milky Way by Fang Zheng's Zerg, Fang Zheng did not take much care of the Zerg in the Milky Way, which caused these Zerg troops to scatter like wildfire. In addition, since Genestealers have been infiltrating the Milky Way for many years, they are now blooming everywhere, forcing the Imperial Fleet to put out fires everywhere and become extremely exhausted.
What’s worse is that the troubles don’t end there.
The Galactic Empire was busy putting out the fire, and there were also problems within it. Several evil sects suddenly began to spread on many planets in the Milky Way. They were not just verbal deceptions. In fact, according to the intelligence obtained by the Empire, these cultists possessed very powerful and strange abilities.
Not only can they control other people's minds, they can even spread plagues and unleash terrifying power. And according to the idols found in the cult's nest, these cultists believe in the Chaos Demons that appeared on Shadow Star before.
The Galactic Empire had no other options, so it had to treat them all the same and burn them all. As for those that were beyond its reach, the Galactic Empire could only allow them to expand. After all, although these cultists posed a considerable threat to the Empire, they were also at war with the Tyranids. Knowing that the Tyranids could not recycle these cultists, the Empire did not mind them very much. Perhaps for Palpatine, he would rather let these cultists occupy those disobedient planets than let the Tyranids succeed.
The Galactic Empire is now divided into four parts. The Tyranids occupy a large number of planets on the periphery, while the Galactic Empire has sealed off the entire core area, vowing not to let any insects enter. Other races and planets either choose to leave the Galactic Empire or fight on their own. Among them, the evil cults that believe in Chaos Demons are also fanning the flames whenever they can.
It was also under the dual threat of Chaos Demons and Tyranids that the entire Galactic Empire was increasingly turning to religious centralization. Especially for cults like Chaos Demons, the Galactic Empire simply designated them as heretics and eliminated them completely.
In fact, if the Galactic Empire were to say, they would rather fight the Chaos Demons than the Tyranid Swarm. Although Fang Zheng had warned Darth Vader that these Warp creatures were not easy to deal with, they survived by devouring the emotions and souls of living beings. As long as the creatures in the galaxy did not die out, they would be immortal - of course, if Fang Zheng burned the entire galaxy from the universe to ashes, then there would be no problem.
So even if the best solution is to seal it up like the Shadow Star did before so that it won't harm others... Unfortunately, the Shadow Star had been burned into a stone ball by Fang Zheng, leaving nothing behind. As for the records of the Chaos Demons' seals, something like this from millions of years ago, no one knows where to find it now.
Even so, Chaos Demons are better opponents for the Galactic Empire than Tyranids. At least the former require soul and emotional power, while the latter is complete destruction... To put it bluntly, even if the Galactic Empire loses to Chaos Demons, it is not impossible to make a comeback. But if the Galactic Empire loses to Tyranids, there will be nothing left.
After all, it has all turned into biomass.
In order to fight against the Chaos Demons, Fang Zheng also provided technical support to the Galactic Empire, which was his own Magical Girl System.
After all, the power of the Chaos Demon comes from the emotions and soul of life, and the power of the Magical Girl also comes from the emotions and soul. After all, energy is conserved. The more Magical Girls there are, the less the Chaos Demon absorbs.
Palpatine was naturally quite welcome to this, so he quickly responded to Fang Zheng's proposal and established a unique department, which was...
"A nun?"
Walking in the wide corridor, Fang Zheng looked at Palpatine beside him curiously. At this moment, the Galactic Emperor was no longer dressed the same as before. Instead, he was wearing a white robe, a crown on his head, and holding a scepter. He looked like a white-robed archbishop. The former Galactic Emperor was now completely obsessed with preaching.
After all, the feeling of building a new sect from scratch and making it famous through the ages is really... cool.
It’s much better than being the emperor of the Galactic Empire.
Compared to Darth Vader, who is now overwhelmed and sitting in the office all day to deal with government affairs and can't even go out, Palpatine has entered the mode of relaxing at home.
"That's right."
Palpatine nodded slowly.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, you also know that due to the invasion of the Tyranids and the spread of Chaos Demons, many planets have fallen. Because of this, many children have become orphans. In fact, how to place them is one of the current problems of the empire..."
Fang Zheng's proposal of the Magical Girl System was naturally intended to harvest faith, and Palpatine's willingness to accept it also had his own considerations. Although at the beginning, Palpatine established a new state religion based on the unified force mainly for those newly born force holders, but man proposes, God disposes. Under the dual threat of the Tyranids and Chaos Demons, the responsibilities of the state religion have been significantly expanded.
In this case, it is not enough to simply focus on those who possess the Force, so Palpatine is also thinking about how to integrate other ordinary people into the state religion. Orphans are also one of the problems. Males can be trained and then join the Imperial Legion, but it is difficult for females to find a suitable position.
Fang Zheng's proposal can be said to be a timely help, providing Palpatine with a very good solution.
"They will be the most shining examples of humanity, the supreme symbols of faith, devotion and purity. They will become the sword of the empire, defending the glory of human nature..."
"Um……"
Fang Zheng was silent for a moment as he listened to Palpatine's teachings on the Sisters' faith. Frankly speaking, he had never thought of turning the magical girls into an army, and the religious army's words seemed a bit radical. But considering that the Sisters' main mission was to protect the empire, safeguard humanity, and maintain order... this did not conflict with Fang Zheng's general direction. In this case, Fang Zheng thought about it and decided... not to say anything more.
After all, there is nothing much to say.
However, just because Fang Zheng had nothing to say didn't mean that others had nothing to say either.
"Recently... um... I heard that Xiao Hei has been causing trouble for the master..."
"Bothered? Me?"
Xiao Hei tilted his head and looked at the face in front of him in confusion, which looked exactly like his own.
"Hmm... I don't think I've caused any trouble. After all, I'm just replenishing my magic power with my big brother."
"That's the problem!!"
Hearing this, Illya immediately raised her hands angrily.
"I've seen this happen several times before. Xiao Hei, you follow the master into the bathroom or toilet, and then you hear very, very, very H noises coming from inside!"
At this point, Illya's face suddenly turned red, but Xiao Hei calmly folded his arms and looked at her, with an expression of "So what?"
"so?"
"So Xiao Hei, you should respect yourself. Fortunately, I found out. If someone else found out, it would cause trouble to the master. In short, it is absolutely not okay to cause trouble to the master! Do you understand?"
“…”
Facing Illya's righteous warning, Xiao Hei narrowed his eyes and looked her up and down.
"…Are you jealous?"
“…Huh? Huh! Huhhhhh!!!”
Hearing this, Illya's eyes widened immediately, with an expression that said "How can you slander someone's innocence like this?"
"I didn't, you idiot!"
"Who said no? If you weren't following me secretly, how did you know? Why don't other people know? It's not that I'm complacent. I'm always very careful every time I'm with my master. So you were following me?"
"I, I didn't follow you!"
Illya's face flushed, veins on her forehead popped out, and she argued.
"I'm your sister. I went to find you because I was worried about you. How can my looking for you be considered stalking? We are sisters. How can this be called stalking?!"
Then came some difficult to understand words, such as "H is wrong" and "shameless", which made Xiao Hei burst into laughter, and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere...
"…Are you listening to me?"
Seeing that Xiao Hei didn't care at all, Illya also made a "woooo" sound and stared at Xiao Hei and threatened him in a low voice, looking like a puppy venting its dissatisfaction. Seeing this, Xiao Hei clapped his hands.
"In that case, Illya should come too."
"……Why?"
"If you want to share mana with big brother, just tell him directly. Wouldn't it be fair then? You won't have to be jealous."
“Hey… hey hey hey hey hey!!?”
Hearing this, Illya's eyes suddenly widened, her cheeks flushed, and she waved her hands desperately.
"Wait, wait, I didn't think so..."
"No? Really? Are you sure?"
"Of course! We're still kids!"
"It's just that they haven't grown up yet. According to their age, Xia Shi and the others would call us old ladies."
“…”
“…”
For a moment, both of them fell silent.
"Let's change the subject."
"yes……"
If we continue like this, we will only hurt each other.
