Chapter 12: Legacy of Ancient Civilization

⚜

Three hours after the victory in the First Cosmic Battle—
A crucial strategic meeting was taking place in the Imperial Command Chamber of the space fortress Axiom Prime.

Empress Axiom’s Stern Guidance

“Juliana, kneel before me."

My voice resonated through the command chamber as nanoparticles gave my snow-white skin an intimidating radiance, exerting silent pressure on all who approached with the command to “kneel before me." My emerald eyes sharpened with intensity, and the third eye on my forehead emanated not mercy, but the light of judgment.

Juliana immediately dropped to her knees at my feet, bowing her head deeply. Her silver-blue hair, hardened by nanofibers, gleamed with the sharp brilliance of steel blades.

“I have reviewed Tensui’s report. Ancient ruins have been discovered in the depths of Primordial Planet, with our Empire’s swastika symbols carved throughout. What are your thoughts?"

My mechanical necklace emitted a cold, sharp blue-white light, its spiked chain design symbolizing my absolute dominion.

“Y-Yes, Lady Axiom. According to the report, those ruins bear our Empire’s swastika symbols and contain crucial clues related to your past life memories."

“Is that all? Are you satisfied with such a superficial analysis of your super-memory recall abilities?"

I stood and moved behind Juliana. The swastika tattoo covering her entire back showed the effect of black ink bleeding red like blood, radiating overwhelming presence as a symbol of my rule.

Lost Ancient Empire Ruins

At the same time, in the far reaches of space, Tensui and Payanak were making an incredible discovery.

After repelling the chaos fleet in the First Cosmic Battle, the Imperial forces had been tracking the enemy’s retreat route. It was during this pursuit that these ancient ruins were discovered.

“What… what is this?"

Before Tensui’s eyes spread an unimaginable sight.

Massive stone architectural complexes floating in space. They were majestic structures reminiscent of the lost Atlantis civilization.

Gigantic pyramids spanning tens of kilometers, temple complexes suspended in mid-air, and everywhere—carved throughout—the Empire’s symbol, the swastika.

'Tensui, this is no coincidence.’

Payanak’s voice carried deep emotion.

'This is a sanctuary related to the origins of our Empire. A place where memories of Lady Axiom’s past lives sleep.’

Resonance of the Swastika Symbol

The swastika symbol within Tensui’s body began pulsing violently. It was resonating with the swastika symbols throughout the ruin complex.

“This sensation… it’s like coming home."

The moment Tensui touched the central stone of the ruins, vivid visions flooded her mind.

Juliana’s Arrival

At that moment, a special spacecraft arrived at the ruins. Juliana emerged from within.

“Tensui, thank you for your hard work. I have come under special orders from Lady Axiom."

Juliana’s appearance had changed dramatically from before. Through the final adjustments by the Five Sisters, her body had been completed as a “Sacred Transformed Body" capable of withstanding even the power of the Creator God.

“Juliana… you’re here too."

“Yes. We stand at a turning point in history. When we obtain this power, the Axiom Empire will be completed as a true cosmic empire."

Discovery of the Genesis Chamber

Ren and the Messiah Guard also joined them, and the group headed for the deepest part of the ruins.

“Tensui, the structure of these ruins closely resembles the Empire’s capital star."

Ren reported the analysis results.

“It’s as if the current Empire was built using these ancient ruins as a model."

At the center of the ruins, the group discovered a huge spherical chamber. This was the “Genesis Chamber."

Floating in the center of the chamber was a crystal of light containing all records of universe creation.

Truth of Universe Creation

The light emanating from the crystal of light revealed the truth of universe creation.

The current universe has actually repeated creation and destruction many times. And each time, the figure of a “Messiah" has appeared.

Lady Axiom was chosen as the Messiah for this cosmic cycle.

“So that’s why Lady Axiom aims for cosmic unification."

Tensui understood.

“To prevent destruction by chaos and achieve lasting peace."

Fusion of Three Powers

Tensui’s swastika symbol, Payanak’s dragon god power, and Juliana’s Sacred Transformed Body power began to resonate.

The crystal of light in the Genesis Chamber glowed intensely, and the seal was about to be broken.

'Behold, this is the truth of universe creation!’

Payanak shouted.

Acquisition of New Powers

The three who absorbed the power of the Genesis Chamber each acquired new abilities.

Tensui gained “Space-Time Manipulation Ability," Payanak obtained “Dimensional Travel Ability," and Juliana acquired “Reality Alteration Ability."

“With this power, we can achieve complete victory over the forces of chaos."

Ren said excitedly.

New Orders from the Emperor

'Well done. By obtaining the legacy of ancient civilization, the Empire’s power has improved dramatically.’

The voice of Emperor Axiom echoed.

'The time has come to proceed to the next stage. We begin the total assault on the “Dimensional Fortress," the chaos forces’ headquarters.’

Renewed Determination

Having inherited the legacy of ancient civilization, the group renewed their determination.

“We are the inheritors of the ancient clan of wisdom."

Tensui declared powerfully.

“We will never give up until we bring true peace to this universe."

Carrying the power and knowledge gained from the Genesis Chamber, the group prepared for the next battlefield, the “Dimensional Fortress."

The legacy of ancient civilization brought new hope and power to the Empire.

And the final battle that would determine the fate of the universe was about to begin.

The enemy awaiting at the chaos headquarters was an existence of incomparably greater power than any they had faced before.

However, the Imperial forces, having inherited ancient wisdom, had nothing left to fear.

Beloved dog Jet barked proudly, and all companions prepared for the next battle.

Having obtained the secrets of universe creation, the curtain now rises on the true final battle—
