Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic-Chapter 806 - 406: The Ghost Emperor’s Past, Ambitions, and Brutality in Battle (Part 2)
He knew well that if there was a revival of a strong presence on this planet, and one as formidable as Su Yu, it could only be Zhang Chenfeng.
Even though the Ghost Emperor distinctly remembered that Zhang Chenfeng should be dead and unlikely to revive, Su Yu’s emergence left no other possibility!
If Su Yu has revived as a Fifth-Order Expert, then withstanding the attack from the Power of Star Soul would be very normal.
"Zhang Chenfeng...!"
Concluding that Su Yu was the revival of Zhang Chenfeng, the Ghost Emperor wasn’t panicked; in fact, he grew somewhat excited!
He couldn’t help but reminisce about the past.
A thousand years ago, when Zhang Chenfeng was still alive, the Ghost Emperor was nothing more than an unknown minor figure.
It was during that time that Zhang Chenfeng established the Second Empire, ruling the country with extreme military law and harshness.
No matter who dared to step into the starry sky, they would be blasted to death by Zhang Chenfeng.
In a short period, Zhang Chenfeng killed countless people; his hands were stained with blood, and he even eliminated many Fourth-Rank Strong Persons.
The terrifying power suppressed the entire planet, causing everyone to dare not speak out against him, and some didn’t even dare to feel anger.
The power of a Fifth-Order Expert was truly too mighty! Too grand!
With human form rivaling that of celestial bodies and witnessing such a great power, anyone would feel despair, feeling invincible and compelled to submit.
However, back then, the Ghost Emperor, despite being weak with only a six-star strength, was extremely ambitious. Witnessing the power of Zhang Chenfeng, he was not afraid; instead, he felt much envy and desire.
He too wished to possess such power, hoping to surpass Zhang Chenfeng!
It was precisely due to this intense ambition that later the Brutal Evil God set sights on him, tempted him to cultivate Ghost Energy, which later led to the formation of the Ghost Empire.
The Brutal Evil God naturally didn’t wish to kindly help the Ghost Emperor fulfill his dreams but wanted to utilize him for breaking through his seal.
If the breakthrough were successful, the Ghost Emperor would become the top warrior under Brutal.
Brutal quite admired the Ghost Emperor and had no plans to discard him after use.
But how could the Ghost Emperor settle for being under an Evil God?
On the surface, he was a loyal believer of the Brutal Evil God, with sincere devotion, but ever since the first day he accepted Brutal’s "kindness," he’s been preparing for a rebellion.
At the critical moment, Brutal demanded the Ghost Emperor to sacrifice the entire Ghost Empire for the arrival of the True God.
The Ghost Emperor didn’t hesitate and immediately complied; he issued an order to gather up the entire population of the Ghost Empire in the Radiation Ghost City.
In the Ghost Empire, the commands of the Ghost Emperor were supreme divine decrees, and no one dared defy them.
Due to using Ghost Energy, the Ghost Empire faced a deteriorating environment and a drastically reduced population, but over two hundred million people remained on the entire planet.
In a short time, nearly all these people arrived in Radiation Ghost City.
The Ghost Emperor immediately began the sacrifice.
At first, it went smoothly; in the entire Ghost Empire, over two hundred million people began dying off in tens of millions!
The seal of Brutal was breaking under the power of sacrifice.
Simultaneously, Brutal also activated the power of its true form to break through internally!
Toward the end, Brutal’s true body had even partially descended!
A thousand-meter giant with a Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes stood over Radiation Ghost City!
This was not the consciousness fragment Su Yu fought against but was the true body!
Just by partially descending, it already possessed strength surpassing Fourth-Order Top.
It merely initiated its descent, and its overflowing aura nearly killed off most of the remaining Ghost Empire citizens.
In just a few moments, using the deaths of these people, the Brutal Evil God could truly break the seal and manifest in the world!
However, at the most critical point, when Brutal was about to truly break through the seal, the Ghost Emperor rebelled!
He was quick to strike first, slaying all the remaining Ghost Empire sacrifices!
This was not the correct procedure for the sacrifice; simply killing the sacrifices, Brutal could receive no power!
But that wasn’t all; the Ghost Emperor gathered the lives and power of those sacrifices into one, transforming it into a formidable Ghost Energy, absorbing it, and forming a thousand-meter-tall Dark King to confront the Brutal Evil God!
It was equivalent to the Ghost Emperor changing the object of sacrifice to himself!
Faced with such an unexpected change, the Brutal Evil God was not enraged but rather filled with shock and confusion.
It did not expect its always-loyal subordinate would rebel!
How dare he rebel! How can he rebel!
In that instant, even the Brutal Evil God couldn’t understand what was happening.
Knowing that the Ghost Emperor was a devoted believer of Brutal, praying to it daily, with heart and mind under its control.
Even the thoughts and memories of the Ghost Emperor could be reviewed by Brutal at any time.
Otherwise, how could Brutal trust the Ghost Emperor so much, granting him such powerful strength, and handing him the critical sacrificial ceremony?
How was such a Ghost Emperor capable of rebellion?
But he did rebel.
So, even the Brutal Evil God was shocked!
Seeing the rage and shock of the Brutal Evil God, the Ghost Emperor laughed; this moment was what he had plotted and pursued for years!
After the shock, Brutal immediately turned to rage!
It could not accept such deceit and betrayal easily!
It immediately acted against the Ghost Emperor; since he intercepted the power from the sacrifice, it would kill this traitor itself and complete the sacrifice personally!
This was precisely what the Ghost Emperor wanted; he had long desired a battle with Brutal! Since Zhang Chenfeng could fight against Brutal, then the Ghost Emperor could too!
Thus, the Ghost Emperor also made a move, battling the Brutal Evil God fiercely.
This great battle lasted a full ten days!
With their strength, they could engage each other thousands of times in an instant, and to fight such a long time without a decisive result showed the intensity of the battle.
Due to this great battle, the entire planet was shrouded in terrifying Radiation Ghost Energy, the surface civilizations’ structures were all destroyed, and the remaining humans who didn’t come to Radiation Ghost City were nearly extinct!
In the end, it was the Ghost Emperor who won; after all, the Brutal Evil God had not fully manifested, possessing only part of its power.
It was driven back into its seal, and because of this massive consumption, it even sustained some injuries and fell into slumber.
Its physical body was even crushed into fragments and blood mist by the Ghost Emperor, turning into radioactive clouds above the planet.
Although the Ghost Emperor won, he wasn’t in good shape either, as the power from the sacrifice was entirely expended, he was grievously wounded, dying.
In fact, it wasn’t just grievously wounded to the brink of death; he was already dead! Only a trace of spirit lingered on.
The entire Ghost Empire was almost entirely wiped out, except for some direct lineages the Ghost Emperor deliberately preserved, leaving just a few surviving remnants.
However, the Ghost Emperor felt immense satisfaction, for he had defeated such a terrifying Great Evil God!
After this grand battle, it was impossible for the Brutal Evil God to awaken and cause trouble for nearly ten thousand years.
Although the cost was heavy, with over a hundred million lives lost, the Ghost Emperor didn’t care.
After all, if Brutal had truly broken the seal, it wouldn’t be near extinction but real extinction. Even worse than total extinction, everyone would be transformed into Ghost Demons by Brutal, a fate worse than death.
"Hehe, I wonder how future generations will see this emperor? A Destroyer Tyrant? Or a Savior?"
"Zhang Chenfeng, this emperor understands your feelings a bit now..."
Severely wounded, the Ghost Emperor became somewhat sentimental, but quickly pulled himself together, cutting down any weakness.
"Whatever! This emperor will sleep to recover! Await revival..."
Subsequently, the Ghost Emperor used his last vestiges of power to make various arrangements.
Even though he had died, his powerful spirit remained undying, destined to revive once more.
When truly revived, he would dominate the planet, ascend to the Fifth Rank, completely suppress the Brutal Evil God, fulfilling what Zhang Chenfeng couldn’t, truly surpassing him...
The recollection ended here and the Ghost Emperor focused his attention on the present.
He recalled this because he remembered his initial obsession: to surpass Zhang Chenfeng!
Originally, the Ghost Emperor felt some regret that Zhang Chenfeng died too early, and he had no chance to confront him.
Now, with Su Yu as Zhang Chenfeng’s revival, he could make up for this regret!
Something long missing filled the Ghost Emperor’s heart – the thrill of battle.
He wanted to kill Su Yu, this revival of Zhang Chenfeng, stepping over his corpse to ascend to the Fifth Rank, and then suppress the Brutal Evil God, completing the great cause Zhang Chenfeng unfinished! Then there would be no regrets!
