Beneath the magical light screen lies the very core of the Doomsday Emperor’s magical program. Here, three rows of shortcut icons are neatly arranged: the top two rows are the magic and martial skills the Doomsday Emperor can wield, while the bottom row contains various device and function debugging options for the Doomsday Emperor. There are so many features that it’s impossible to list them all at once.

　　After trying to operate this gigantic humanoid weapon, Adam Bennett was deeply amazed by the Doomsday Emperor’s sharp responsiveness. However, this series of actions by the Doomsday Emperor shattered Luke Thompson’s heart, courage, and reason one after another. After a scream, he stared blankly at the moving giant idol, turning into a human statue.

　　Unfortunately, at this moment, Adam Bennett was so exhilarated that he didn’t pay attention to the state of his only audience and loyal servant.

Chapter Fourteen: The Six Emperors

　　When the magic neural system connects to the operator, there is a moment of soul resonance.

　　Soul resonance has a unique feature: it transmits memories in both directions, instantly synchronizing the data from the magical armament’s memory bank with the operator’s own memories.

　　There’s no need to deliberately study how to pilot a magical armament; just one soul resonance can create a ten to fifteen percent compatibility between the operator and the magical armament, allowing most of its combat power to be unleashed in a very short time.

　　The Doomsday Emperor’s memory bank contains not only knowledge of how to operate magical armaments, but also nearly all knowledge of magitech, encompassing over ninety percent of the magitech achievements from the Great Stone Dynasty. In addition, it records many secrets of the Great Stone Dynasty that never saw the light of day. Those ancient memories surged into Adam Bennett’s mind with the soul resonance, and in an instant, this young man understood the origins of many ancient legends—including those recorded in history books, long since lost to the river of time, as well as the most secretive things passed down among only a select few.

　　What interested Adam Bennett most in the Doomsday Emperor’s memory bank was the origin of these six magical armaments and the identities of their former owners—an earth-shattering secret that could fetch thousands of gold coins. However, Adam Bennett knew that unless he had a son in the future, there was little chance he would ever reveal these secrets to anyone outside his direct bloodline; the fewer people who knew about these six magical armaments, the better.

　　When the thirteenth emperor of the Great Stone Dynasty, Eric Fuller, ascended the throne, the vast empire made a leap forward in magitech. The ultimate unit of the magimech army—the magical armament—was developed.

　　The purpose of developing magical armaments was to allow ordinary people to instantly possess power comparable to mighty magical beasts, mages, and warriors, becoming invincible on the battlefield. However, the resources consumed to build a single magical armament were roughly equivalent to three years of the Great Stone Dynasty’s treasury income. Throughout the entire reign of Eric Fuller XIII, he only ordered the construction of five magical armaments, and the last one took seven years to build. He named it Emperor, and it became the personal vehicle of Eric Fuller XIII himself.

　　Originally, this gentle emperor hoped to make the magical armament known as Emperor a symbol of the throne, to be passed down from generation to generation. But his son, Kevin Morris XIV, scoffed at this magical armament; apart from sealing it away, he never gave it a second glance.

　　Kevin Morris XIV was a fanatical dragon enthusiast—though certainly not a dragon ambassador. His way of expressing this passion was to launch an unprecedented dragon-slaying war. During his thirty-three-year reign, over a hundred dragons perished at the hands of his dragon-slaying army. Thus, Kevin Morris XIV earned a fearsome nickname: the Ruthless Dragon Slayer!

　　Kevin Morris XIV’s obsession with slaughtering dragons was not because some evil ancient dragon stole the future emperor’s lollipop in his childhood, but because artificial soul technology was developed after he ascended the throne.

　　On Kevin Morris XIV’s fiftieth birthday celebration, the Royal Magitech Corps of the Great Stone Dynasty announced: “They have finally succeeded in forcibly fusing the souls of the seventeen most powerful dragons, creating a miracle in magitech.” Kevin Morris XIV naturally ordered the construction of a new magical armament, bestowing upon it the name Undying Dragon Emperor!

　　The magitech engineers of the Great Stone Dynasty designed this brand-new artificial soul as the main control structure of the Undying Dragon Emperor, allowing this magical armament to use any draconic magic and possess miraculous self-recovery abilities. Anyone who saw the Undying Dragon Emperor at the time would be awestruck from the bottom of their hearts—this magical armament was an unprecedented masterpiece in the history of magitech, for there would never again be so many dragons for humans to slaughter.

　　However, the brutality of Kevin Morris XIV also marked the beginning of the Great Stone Dynasty’s decline from its peak. Besides the Undying Dragon Emperor, Kevin Morris XIV ordered the construction of a total of twenty-eight magical armaments, nearly squandering the dynasty’s thousand-year accumulation.
