Su Yu discovers that Nuonuo has descended into this timeline by adopting the form of a Mechanical God fragment, wielding the primal Spiral Power. Recognizing her absolute obedience, Su Yu commands Nuonuo to reclaim all power from the rebel forces that prayed to her. In a single, devastating action, Nuonuo strips her followers of their abilities and life energy, resulting in the instant annihilation of billions of rebels across the universe. While the immediate threat is neutralized, Su Yu notices that twenty powerful princes have curiously survived the purge.

At this juncture, those twenty princes were gripped by a volatile mixture of intense fury and utter astonishment.

With massive infusions of Spiritual Energy, they traversed the cosmos via space-jumps, hurtling relentlessly toward Zhendan, spanning a distance of a hundred billion light years.

These princes remained convinced that the recent, large-scale annihilation of their forces was the doing of the Radiant Emperor.

Having watched their hand-picked, elite subordinates suffer instant destruction, they burned with indignation, racing toward the Zhendan Mother Star to force a confrontation with the Emperor.

Remarkably, the formidable strength held by these twenty princes proved impossible for the Evil God Nuonuo to fully strip away.

Their potential was simply too vast.

Even after suffering a partial draining by Nuonuo’s influence, they retained sufficient might to remain at the level of a River System.

Furthermore, Nuonuo’s attempt to sap their strength had also targeted their very lives and souls.

As devotees of the Evil God Nuonuo, they ought to have been defenseless against such a purge.

Yet unexpectedly, even after their life essence and souls were torn away, they neither succumbed nor grew weaker.

On the contrary, this ordeal served only to amplify their power.

It was as if their previous lives and souls had been nothing more than a carefully crafted shell.

With the layers of disguise removed, the sinister core beneath was finally laid bare.

Across his Star Tower, Su Yu watched the twenty princes as they advanced toward Zhendan, noting how they shifted and writhed perpetually during their flight.

They shed their tall, human-like silhouettes, revealing horrifying, distorted monstrosities hidden underneath.

Darkness, visceral carnage, brutality, fragmentation, and malevolence leaked from them.

Even the Subspace Demons, creatures defined by their chaotic and wicked nature, seemed hollow and trivial when set against the sheer monstrosity of these princes.

Any Transcendent below the River System level unlucky enough to behold these true manifestations would be instantly corrupted, descending into madness as twisted, wicked beasts.

"These princes really are..."

Su Yu mused as he gazed upon their raw, authentic forms.

While his nature made him immune to such corruption, the reality beneath their skins was profoundly grotesque to the human eye.

In the past, Su Yu had caught glimpses of the true essences of the three Supreme Evil Gods.

Entities like Evil Fate and Desire Corpse possessed aspects that were truly appalling.

However, they stood as Evil Gods by nature.

These princes, conversely, had walked about in human guises, seemingly dignified and noble, only to undergo such a sudden, nightmarish transformation.

As a human, retaining human sensory standards and modes of thought, Su Yu found the spectacle deeply unnerving.

He couldn't help but wonder to himself where exactly the Radiant Emperor had sourced these twenty beings, and what process was used to bind them into human flesh to manifest as his heirs.

Essentially, each of these twenty princes—much like the late Prince of Brutal—was the product of high-level genetic synthesis, utilizing dark technology to fuse and consume potent entities from the Subspace.

Now that Nuonuo had stripped away their human-simulated lives, the genuine, twisted essence of these Subspace entities had emerged, showing a deep and measureless malice.

Surprisingly, even after the loss of their human bodies, they seemed to retain their human consciousness.

Much like Su Yu, they held onto human aesthetic values and logical frameworks.

Confronted with the sight of their own distorted bodies, they let out piercing, harrowing screams of denial.

The force of their anguish shattered nearby galaxy clusters, leaving the starry firmament trembling and unstable.

Not long ago, they were noble-born princes, even in rebellion, holding fast to the belief that they participated in a sacred crusade to excise the Human Empire’s rot and restore order to the Universe.

Now, witnessing their own true forms, they realized their very existence was an affront so wicked it threatened to pollute all of reality.

Clinging to their human sensibilities, they found this revelation completely unacceptable.

Their rage surged to new heights.

Their, resolve to strike down the Radiant Emperor only calcified under the weight of this horror.

Observing this, Su Yu promptly activated the Star Tower to create a psychic shroud for all those around the princes, overlaying their true perceptions with digital signals of his own design.

This was necessary to shield the populace; otherwise, the mere aura of contamination radiating from these princes would be enough to wipe out the entirety of the Human Empire.

With the pollution contained, he had to prepare for the coming onslaught.

They were descending upon the Zhendan Imperial Palace momentarily to challenge him directly.

Su Yu calculated the odds and suspected victory would be elusive.

Especially considering the princes’ power continued to bloom, showing no signs of stabilization.

"Nuonuo, can you suppress them?" Su Yu inquired.

Nuonuo analyzed the data and responded, "My apologies, Master. I am unable to defeat them; my current power within this Universal vessel is insufficient."

In his home territory, the Little Universe, Nuonuo stood as an omnipotent Supreme God.

Within this Primordial Universe, however, he existed only as an incomplete fragment of a Mechanical God, holding limited, finite reach.

In truth, his presence here was little more than an avatar, a harvested remnant of power.

While he had successfully drained power from the rebels earlier, that aggregate energy proved far inferior to the raw, awakened might of these twenty twisted princes.

With their true inner essence awakened, these princes no longer relied on external sources; they carried an inexhaustible, terrifying wellspring within themselves.

Su Yu even harbored a suspicion that each of these twenty beings carried the inherent capacity to ascend to the status of entities like the Saintly Sin or Evil Fate.

Compared to them, the threat of the Brutal Evil God felt like a minor footnote.

Though, the Brutal Evil God had suffered a previous tragedy, being compromised and eroded by the Supreme Fear of the Azure Universe.

Had that entity matured without obstruction, perhaps he, too, would have stood among these abominations.

It remained a mystery how the Radiant Emperor managed to cage such ferocious beings in human skins, allowing them to remain comfortably cognizant of their own humanity until this very moment.

In short, these princes possessed strength that defied the stars and threatened to rupture the very fabric of existence.

Unless the Evil God Nuonuo returned to the Little Universe to bridge the gap and project his true Supreme God caliber, they would be impossible to contain.

But Su Yu rejected this option.

The inherent aura of the Evil God Nuonuo was dangerously chaotic.

If channeled into this reality, the foundational laws governing the Universe might be irreparably corrupted, leaving no reality left to save.

"It looks like the burden lies with me..."

Su Yu watched them draw closer, his mind racing to formulate a new strategy.

His ultimate fallback remained his innate quality as the "Source of Cause and Effect."

Logically, no matter how potent or perverted the essence of these twenty princes might be, their underlying causal origins must still trace back to Su Yu.

He now needed to identify the exact mechanism by which these twenty princes drew their power, and why it tethered back to him.

If this energy truly originated from his own existence, he should be capable of reclaiming it!

Su Yu’s process of investigation was rapid, utilizing his unique capabilities.

He activated the power of the Source of Cause and Effect triggered by his own intent.

In the span of a single breath, Su Yu burned through billions of simulated outcomes.

Finally, he located the nexus...
