Using the same method, Omni destroyed all the Spires within the Primordial Matter cage of the Supreme Command. When Omni returned, he did attempt to explain the specific principles to Bai Zhongqi, but Bai Zhongqi did not quite understand.
Linyin, however, understood a part of it but was still amazed by Omni's ingenious ideas.
"For people like us, even if we are full of imagination, we are bound by the knowledge we have learned over a long time. But Omni can flexibly combine various physical phenomena, and more importantly, he understands Primordial Matter better than we do. So while we are helpless against the Spires, Omni is able to destroy them," Linyin explained this way.
Although Omni had been serving the Iridium Star United Empire since his creation, Linyin was still very worried and afraid. "Chancellor, you have imbued Omni with all the knowledge and have allowed him to possess the ability to transform using Primordial Matter. Without your restraint, Omni could almost do anything in this universe. If he goes berserk, the danger he could pose might not be less than that of the Galactic Emperor."
Bai Zhongqi certainly understood what Linyin meant. He said, "I have set a switch on Omni, which I usually do not activate, and so he's unable to transform himself into various forms. Only when I turn on the switch can he use the Primordial Matter to transform."
Linyin breathed a sigh of relief: "At least that's a safeguard."
Bai Zhongqi understood the concerns of people like Linyin. As a Primordial Life, Omni possessed too many possibilities. For him, there was not much of a barrier to accomplishing anything. Right now, he was only controlling his own Primordial Matter, but if Bai Zhongqi one day turned on the switch for assimilation of Primordial Matter, then Omni could even transform all matter in the universe into Primordial Matter and incorporate it as part of his body.
If it weren't for Bai Zhongqi's Supreme Command having complete control over him, Bai Zhongqi would be the one to go crazy.
Having destroyed thirty-three Spires, Bai Zhongqi retrieved the massive amounts of Primordial Matter that served as the cage. This immense amount of Primordial Matter could become an important weapon for him, though Bai Zhongqi had yet to decide exactly what to do with it.
"Maybe create more Primordial Matter Lifeforms to form an army?" Zero suggested.
Bai Zhongqi shook his head: "The Primordial Matter Lifeforms created anew couldn't be like Omni. They could only be focused on one or a few directions, but they could not be omnipotent."
Zero's eyes shone brightly, "Even if they are only one-tenth as powerful as Omni, if you create a few hundred or thousand such beings, wouldn't they easily wipe out any Fallen Empire warships they encounter?"
Zero did have a point. Bai Zhongqi could program these Primordial Matter Lifeforms to effortlessly pass through Energy Shields and Armor, which would allow them to take down a warship. If he enabled them to jump, produce tremendous energy, and be difficult to defeat, these warriors would become a terrifying force on the battlefield.
They didn't need to be as omnipotent as Omni, but they would already be a decisive presence on the battlefield.
To verify his idea, Bai Zhongqi began the process of creating new Primordial Matter Lifeforms. Although Linyin and several Knights of Destiny were very concerned about this, Bai Zhongqi knew that if he could not make good use of Primordial Matter, Iridium Star would eventually fail against the Galactic Emperor. With these Primordial Matter Lifeforms, at least Bai Zhongqi saw a greater chance of victory.
He did not think that these Primordial Matter Lifeforms, including Omni, would be detrimental to himself, but indeed, these lifeforms, which had transcended the level of ordinary intelligent species, represented an uncertain meaning for the wider universe's intelligent races.
Bai Zhongqi was not idly staying on Iridium Star; he certainly remembered the matter of taking revenge on the Galactic Empire, especially now that the threat of the thirty-three Spires had been eliminated. Iridium Star was expanding its enormous fleet at an unprecedented speed. This time, Bai Zhongqi decided to leave all the manned and AI warships of the Empire Army in the Orion Arm to guard both internal and external nodes while he set off on the expedition with only one ship, the Blade Empress.
It wasn't quite accurate to say one ship because Bai Zhongqi's two Elder Race motherships were on him, and the Subspace Cabin on the Golden Great Sail Ship stored millions of Swarm warships.
In the vast scientific research center of the Blade Empress, Bai Zhongqi looked at thousands of cylindrical aqua cabinets like incubators, originally intended for creating Bionic Humans, but now used by Bai Zhongqi to create Primordial Life.
As the Chancellor's wife, Han Jiaxue also accompanied the expedition. Apart from taking care of Bai Zhongqi's daily needs, she also coordinated affairs between the Chancellor, the Administrative Institute, and the Empire's cabinet.
In the research center, the dignified Chancellor's wife felt a bit jealous.
"What were you thinking, making all these Primordial Matter Lifeforms look like supermodels?"
Bai Zhongqi could only offer a bitter smile to his wife: "What if I said that it wasn't really under my control? Would you believe me?"
Han Jiaxue laughed, "What do you think?"
"Of course, you wouldn't believe it. Sigh, but I'm really not lying to you. This time, when creating these Primordial Matter Lifeforms, I took inspiration from the experience of creating Omni. After I created various human organs, I sensed the souls of these lifeforms. So I infused the knowledge and experience they needed to know and let them decide for themselves what form to take. Even if they wanted to become some other alien species or turn into a dog, I wouldn't mind, as it saves me the effort of designing. But I never anticipated that all these Primordial Matter Lifeforms would choose the appearance of human females, and moreover, all are so tall and athletic, with breasts, buttocks, long legs—the type of fitness woman with muscular abs and defined lines."
With that said, Han Jiaxue did believe Bai Zhongqi that this was not some sordid harem plan of his.
"These females, they remind me of a race from Earth's mythology."
Bai Zhongqi nodded, "Amazon, or Valkyrie, is that it?"
"Exactly, created by the gods to defend peace and justice. Let's just call them Valkyries then."
Bai Zhongqi didn't mind and readily agreed.
Han Jiaxue asked, "How many did you create?"
Bai Zhongqi was a bit embarrassed and stumbled over his words: "Uh, quite a few..."
"There are definitely seven or eight hundred billion. As I produce a batch, I put them into the Subspace Cabin."
