Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1179 - 631: Let Them In
Previously on Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic...
At this instant, the Twenty Princes have arrived at the Zhendan Star System.
Zhang Long, leading the Radiant Imperial Guard, is locked in a fierce confrontation with the Twenty Princes.
The Twenty Princes have shed their human semblances entirely, now manifesting as twenty warped, dark nebulae that choke the circumference of the Zhendan Star System.
From the perspective of the Zhendan Star System, the endless expanse of galaxies has vanished, leaving the cosmos completely blotted out by the presence of these Twenty Princes.
"You rebels!"
Zhang Long, the commander of the Radiant Imperial Guard, leads his millions of soldiers to transform into Radiant Giants as they ascend into the heavens.
The Radiant Giants reach precisely kilometers in stature—not because their potential is capped, but because the Radiant Emperor manifests exactly at that height, and they dare not surpass their sovereign.
These Radiant Imperial Guards possess immense strength; many of them have transcended the Constant Star Level, with some reaching the River System Level.
A few elite guards have even surpassed the River System Level.
Take Zhang Long, for instance; his infinite trait, "Infinite Light," releases boundless might when fully unleashed.
Even though the Twenty Princes have blocked out the starlight, and the system's central sun has sputtered out under the weight of their dark influence.
The current potency of these Twenty Princes is enough to corrupt the very rules of the cosmos, causing the fusion reactions within stars—stripped of the laws that sustain them—to cease immediately.
Regardless, the Zhendan Star System has not fallen into shadow; instead, it glows with a brilliance greater than ever before.
One sun may have perished, but a million suns have ignited in its wake.
The imperial nobles dwelling within the Zhendan Star System recognize these million suns as the immediate deployment of the Emperor’s million Radiant Imperial Guards.
These guards radiate blinding white incandescent light, projecting it toward the malevolent influence of the Twenty Princes.
Their luminous power weaves into a barrier, remarkably holding the formidable Twenty Princes at bay.
Enraged by this defiance, the Twenty Princes rattle the very fabric of space-time, screaming a name: Su Yu!
Upon hearing that name, the Radiant Imperial Guards are consumed by fury!
How dare these wretches address the Emperor by his true name!
Deep down, everyone understands now that the Radiant Emperor’s identity is truly Su Yu.
The princes no longer acknowledge Su Yu as their "father," choosing instead to howl his name while swearing to deliver his doom.
Driven by this primal rage, the strength of the Twenty Princes swells, and the radiance of the guards intensifies to match them.
Yet, within the Radiant Imperial Guard, only Zhang Long possesses the strength to stand toe-to-toe with the Twenty Princes; the others are simply outclassed.
The escalation of power on both sides is dangerously lopsided.
Before long, the shield forged by the Power of Radiance begins to buckle under the assault of the Twenty Princes!
No matter the depth of Zhang Long's anger, it proves insufficient.
The fall of the Zhendan Star System seems imminent.
At this moment, the imperial nobles on the Zhendan Mother Star seize their weapons and don their battle armor, bracing for a desperate final stand.
Though they are formidable Transcendents in their own right.
They usually occupy themselves with intricate technical endeavors.
Indeed, it is these nobles who are responsible for the empire’s breakthroughs in both material and spiritual technology.
Status among the Human Empire’s nobles is not dictated by lineage or raw strength, but by technological achievement.
Thus, they are formally known as... Technology Nobles.
Through their formidable intellect and sophisticated tools, they uphold the stability of the entire empire.
While these technical nobles lack true frontline combat prowess, any action they take might, at best, buy a brief delay for the Twenty Princes.
Regardless, the Twenty Princes would have to march over their corpses to breach the Imperial Palace.
These pillars of the empire possess the inherent pride of those who call the Zhendan mother planet home.
Seeing these technical nobles emerge only serves to further ignite the ire of the Twenty Princes.
After all, the technology utilized in their very creation was partly the brainchild of these technical nobles!
The grotesque, inhuman state they currently occupy is largely the result of these nobles' experiments.
The Twenty Princes are thus consumed by a towering, unquenchable rage.
Abruptly, their power surges to new, terrifying heights!
The technical nobles adjust the visual aids atop their eyes, meeting the gaze of death with stoic resolve.
Then, a sigh reverberates through the void, causing the entire Zhendan Star System to fall into an unnatural silence.
"Let them come..."
It was the voice of Su Yu.
"Emperor!"
The Radiant Imperial Guards and the Technical Nobles are stunned, then overcome with joy upon hearing his decree!
The Radiant Emperor had been silent for so long that many feared he was too depleted from forging the Star Tower to intervene.
Furthermore, the Twenty Princes have reached such an astronomical level of power that even if the Radiant Emperor were to act, he might only suppress a handful before being overwhelmed by the rest.
These men are well-acquainted with the Radiant Emperor’s might.
The Emperor is the most formidable Transcendent in the entire Human Empire, a being whose power eclipsed the River System Level long ago, possessing over a thousand infinite traits, each wielding strength beyond the River System Level.
Combined, his capabilities are truly beyond comprehension.
However, the Twenty Princes now appear to hold individual power on par with the Radiant Emperor—and there are so many of them.
Therefore, the guards and nobles never expected the Emperor to fight, only hoping to buy enough time for his escape.
As long as the Emperor endures, the Human Empire remains alive and unvanquished!
Yet, they did not anticipate the Radiant Emperor standing his ground.
A man of such immense wisdom would never squander the sacrifices of his subjects.
He would never accept their deaths to secure his own time, only to be trapped in the enemy’s snare regardless.
Suddenly, it dawned on everyone: the Radiant Emperor must possess absolute certainty in his victory.
Instantly, the Radiant Imperial Guards and the Technical Nobles drew back their energy, and the light flooding the Zhendan Star System receded back into them.
The corridor to the Radiant Imperial Palace stood wide open.
"Su Yu..."
The princes hesitated as they surveyed the situation.
They had arrived at the Zhendan Star System fueled by the fire of vengeance against the Radiant Emperor.
But now that they stood at his door, they find themselves strangely reluctant to step inside!
They cannot suppress the memories of the Radiant Emperor's overwhelming authority and power—a force they never dared to oppose since their inception!
But they have rebelled, shed their humanity, stripped away everything that defines a person, even while pathetically clinging to a human facade.
Reflecting on this, fresh rage eclipses their hesitation, and they focus their power, assuming monstrous shapes as they march toward the palace entrance.
Despite their defiance, instinct keeps them from an immediate onslaught; they desire to confront Su Yu, to challenge the very source of their own bloodline and power, and to hear what he has to say for himself.
