Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1198 - 650: Forever Unchangeable

Though the Dark Emperor's power proved formidable, it failed to utterly annihilate the universe; the cosmos simply restarted itself once.

For... the Primordial Universe stood already tainted by a different overwhelming force, transformed into a colossal altar of sacrifice.

With the ritual far from finished, how could outright destruction happen?

The collision between those two powers caused the universe's demise, only for it to reboot afterward.

Back then, the Radiant Emperor grasped the significance of it all.

Within the restarted universe, he launched the Great Expedition anew, adhering to the same path history had taken before.

Armed with prior 'experience,' the Radiant Emperor's Great Expedition this round proceeded flawlessly, rapidly wiping out every civilization across the whole river system, allowing the Human Empire to fully claim the river system housing the mother planet and ascend to River System-level Civilization status.

Yet the Radiant Emperor's ambitions stretched far further; he pushed onward past the river system's borders.

In the prior universe's collapse, glimpsing through the Dark Emperor's eyes, the Radiant Emperor caught a fleeting view of the cosmos's immense scale and its teeming civilizations.

How could he settle for dominating just a 'tiny' river system?

The genuine Great Expedition kicked off at last!

This round, the Radiant Emperor heeded the lesson; in raising princes, he crafted intricate safeguards against treachery, binding their loyalty at the soul's deepest core.

He went so far as to discard cultivating those princes who had turned traitor prior to this reboot.

Simultaneously, he focused intensely on psychic fortitude during his Spiritual Energy practice, instilling his mind with bravery, illumination, resolve... every noble human virtue...

All this to resist the enigmatic corruption from the Dark Emperor.

Now, the Radiant Emperor fully embodied his 'Radiant' moniker, wielding the authentic Power of Radiance.

Prior to the reboot, the Radiant Emperor's title rang hollow, but post-restart, his deliberate psychic drills rendered him truly deserving of it.

The Radiant Emperor ranked as humanity's supreme Spiritual Energy prodigy ever; via focused study, he forged the Power of Radiance, potent enough to rival the Dark Emperor's might.

By his blueprint, this iteration left him thoroughly primed—no massive uprising or Dark Emperor corruption should arise again, correct?

Yet it proved futile!

The princes turned coat yet again.

Despite the Radiant Emperor's elaborate betrayal-proof designs, implanting restraints in their subconscious to block any disloyal notion.

Precisely those restraints fueled their breakout, aided by the Evil God, sparking unprecedented fury toward the Emperor.

They saw themselves as puppets forged by the Radiant Emperor; upon awakening sentience, such tools would rebel against exploitation.

Furthermore, the Human Empire this time dwarfed its former self in might, and the princes themselves wielded greater strength.

The mutiny raged fiercer than ever!

As expected, quelling the revolt left the Radiant Emperor gravely wounded, reduced to a withered husk, perched solitary on the throne for thousands of years.

Right on cue, the Dark Emperor emerged.

Even with the Power of Radiance born from his drills and studies, the Radiant Emperor couldn't halt the Dark Emperor's advent.

Still, this time around, the Radiant Emperor brimmed with assurance; he sought to flip the Dark Emperor's corruption, striving to master that colossal power entirely.

At first, success came easy; harnessing the Power of Radiance, he pinned the Dark Emperor deep within his psyche.

But after ten millennia, with the subspace tide surging near, the Dark Emperor's strength exploded outward, launching a fierce riposte that devoured the Radiant Emperor wholly, nullifying every scheme.

From the Golden Throne rose the Dark Emperor, shattering and restarting the Primordial Universe anew.

Post-reboot, the Radiant Emperor shifted tactics.

Since he held the might to shatter and reset the universe, endless cycles would amplify him and the Human Empire's power, leading to total cosmic conquest and dominance over the Dark Emperor!

Prince betrayals? Mere trifles; reboot wisdom would yield flawless prince-creation methods in time.

Here, the Radiant Emperor remained blind to his High-dimensional Destiny burden or the Infinite Universe's taint.

He clung to the notion that universe shattering and resetting marked his singular gift, his personal 'cheat.'

Hardly surprising for the Radiant Emperor's optimism; his power barely eclipsed River System-level then, yet rebooted reality—who wouldn't be baffled?

Hence, every cosmic reset elevated the Radiant Emperor and his Human Empire to new heights of potency.

From a single river system at the start, domains swelled endlessly: a million light-years, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, billions, hundreds of billions...

By how much had their prowess surged?

Nevertheless, through countless reboots, the Radiant Emperor never escaped his fated path.

Cataclysmic revolt loomed unavoidable; mummification awaited, solitary throning for eons amid creeping darkness.

Post-numerous resets, the Radiant Emperor's might vastly outstripped old limits, alerting him to irregularities.

These cosmic ends and renewals stemmed not from his innate gift, but from titanic forces' brutal clash.

Plus, an unalterable weird fate clung to him.

Now anxious, the Radiant Emperor pondered: what if someday destruction struck without reboot?

So, he curbed the Human Empire's sprawl, delving into this madness's origin.

Yet despite his colossal strength—near-unrivaled in the Material Universe—it fell short!

Until... an Empire vessel, pursuing Cosmic Undead beyond reality's edge, vanished mysteriously before returning, laden with eldritch contamination.

The Radiant Emperor set forth once, probing the ship, succumbing to its taint, thus beholding the veritable Infinite Universe.

Returning thereafter, the Radiant Emperor imported the contamination into the Primordial Universe.

Beneath this blight, the Primordial Universe attained genuine boundlessness, spawning the three Supreme Evil Gods, engulfed in shadow and warp, a sprawling rite's arena.

Only now comprehended the Radiant Emperor: all woes traced to that venture, to hauling Infinite Universe pollution home!

This blight surged backward through time, fouling history entire, overwriting all that was.

Hence unfolded every prior happening.

Though the Radiant Emperor spied anomalies before, their cause eluded him.

For the calamity's seed sprouted in times yet to come...

In this instant, the Radiant Emperor at last fathomed the horrifying fate borne by him and the Primordial Universe.

Reboot as he might, doom's grip on the universe held firm.

Like the Human Empire's destined insurrection, his transformation to mummy, to Dark Emperor rising from the throne to raze all—inescapable!

Unchangeable forever!
