Chapter 16 - Broly: Dad, you gave me a younger brother?!

This transformation lasted an entire night. Li Pu regained his mobility almost at the same time as the Vampires' heads turned to ash.

Freed from his half-squatting posture, Li Pu, now imbued with the Emperor Template talent, first stretched his somewhat stiff body.

"I wonder if, after sitting on a toilet for ten thousand years, you'd fall over from numb legs when you finally stood up."

After a slight grumble about a certain old man, Li Pu, out of habit, prepared to do something he had done every morning for the past few years.

He had to make breakfast for Little Broly.

When he lived alone, he usually just grabbed a quick bite for breakfast, or simply skipped it if he was too lazy to cook.

But ever since he became a stay-at-home dad and adopted a son, Li Pu's habits changed.

And today, his habits would have to change again, because he also had to prepare breakfast for his newly adopted child, Konrad Curze.

"I wonder what Primarchs eat when they're young? Can they be as unfussy as Saiyans?"

Looking at the Little Koz, who had slept quietly on the sofa all night, Li Pu decided to prepare some milk for the child.

Just as he thought about going downstairs to get ingredients from the second-hand refrigerator he bought two days ago, the moment the thought solidified, the refrigerator downstairs suddenly popped open on its own.

Huh?

What happened next was even more outrageous—

Milk, beef, eggs, large loaves of bread, and some fruits and vegetables actually flew out of the refrigerator on their own.

Then, these ingredients even sorted themselves: what belonged in a bowl went into a bowl, what belonged in a baking pan went into a baking pan, what needed to be beaten into egg liquid was beaten, and what needed to be sliced (or diced) moved itself under the knife.

The oven and gas stove lit themselves, pots and pans flew about, and the ingredients began to cook themselves.

Li Pu blinked in surprise, quickly opened his attribute panel, wanting to see if the System had sent over a house-elf from Harry Potter.

Of course, the result was not what he expected.

The [Status] section of the System's attribute panel explained the reason for this "fully automatic" breakfast situation.

[Status: Shocked.]

[Explanation: The Host is shocked by the unintentional use of psychic power and has made baseless associations.

In fact, because the Host possesses the [Human Emperor Template] talent, the Host now has at least 'alpha-Plus' level psychic potential and extremely strong psychic control abilities.

Psychic power possesses various incredible functions. Please use it properly and practice it.

Although there is no Subspace in this World, excessive and indiscriminate abuse of psychic power may still attract the attention of other dimensional beings (using psychic power to cook is not enough to do so).]

So that's how it is!

Li Pu felt a surge of energy after reading it.

With this idealistic psychic power protecting him, he and his two little ones could live a little safer in the Marvel Universe.

Moreover, he could use psychic power to make breakfast... could he sleep in again in the mornings?

Awesome ヽ(✿゚▽゚)ノ!

However, this exhilarating thought lasted only a few seconds before Little Koz on the sofa cried out with a "wah."

"Oh no, how could I forget this!" Li Pu slapped his forehead.

In the Warhammer Universe, all of the Emperor's Primarch sons, without exception, had corresponding Subspace entities.

In other words, these Primarchs all possessed strong psychic talents, just with different focuses.

Even if individual Primarchs disliked psychic power and psychics, if they truly wanted to use it, they could do so with a little effort and study.

Even Angron, before he had the Butcher's Nails, was no exception.

Konrad Curze's psychic talent primarily focused on psychic prophecy.

In some respects, his prophetic abilities might even be stronger than Sanguinius'.

It was just that Koz tended to get stuck in his own head and was relatively pessimistic, which made his prophecies always appear very negative, and acting on them always ended in tragedy.

Li Pu guessed that the sudden crying of Little Koz was stimulated by the use of psychic power, and he had "seen" something bad in his dream.

"There, there, don't cry..."

Li Pu immediately stopped using psychic power to make breakfast and quickly picked up the Little Baby, rocking him to soothe him.

Just then, Broly, who had been sound asleep hugging the husky A-Fu, also woke up, jumped out of bed, and ran out.

Seeing his "big son" look at him holding another child with an incredulous expression, Li Pu suddenly had a "peculiar" feeling, like being caught tying another girl's shoelaces by his girlfriend.

"Uh, Broly, look at this little crybaby." Although he wasn't sure how to explain, Li Pu could only bite the bullet and tell the truth: "He's your younger brother now."

Broly was slightly stunned.

The next second, the child jumped three meters high in excitement, raising both his hands.

"That's amazing! Dad, you didn't come home last night, and you gave me a little brother to play with, right!"

Li Pu: O__O "... speechless as he was, Li Pu patiently explained to Broly that he couldn't "give birth" to a brother for him, and that this infant named Konrad Curze was actually adopted last night.

"...But, Koz is indeed your younger brother," Li Pu said, "You two can play together from now on."

This made Broly overjoyed.

Before, in Alaska, his only playmate was the husky A-Fu. Now, after just moving, he had another playmate.

Broly was so happy that he soared, using Bukūjutsu to fly around the factory building of this second-hand factory.

"Dad, you're amazing!"

"Dad, do you have magic!"

"Dad, can I have another little brother?"

"…"

Unlike the original Super Saiyan Broly in dragon ball, the Broly raised by Li Pu was more like a normal child, at least much better in terms of personality.

Such a young child could already provide emotional value to his Old Father!

Li Pu felt relieved; his four years of effort had not been in vain.

Thinking of this, he handed Little Koz to Broly to take care of — after all, a Primarch wasn't as fragile as a normal infant — and he himself hummed a happy tune, going downstairs to personally make breakfast for the two children.

While cooking, Li Pu also brought up his attribute panel.

He had noticed some changes in his attribute panel when he was checking the [Status] section earlier.

Unintentionally using psychic power to make breakfast, even though it was just a start, added an Elementary [Psychic Telekinesis] skill to his [Skills] section.

In addition, after loading the [Human Emperor Template] yesterday, his various attributes also changed.

Unlike the [Saiyan Upper-Class Warrior] talent he obtained before, the [Human Emperor Template] focused on enhancing his [Physique], [Intelligence], [Charisma], and [Perception] attributes.

Among them, [Physique] increased the most, more than tripling its original value in one go.

Li Pu felt that this might be related to the Emperor being a rare "Immortal" among humans. In the Warhammer Universe, "Immortals" not only had lifespans measured in thousands or tens of thousands of years, but some "Immortals" could even be killed and destroyed until not a single cell remained, yet still resurrect somewhere in the Universe by the power of psychic energy.

In terms of [Intelligence], the Emperor himself was a super scientist, leading countless projects to trace the origins of ancient technology in the Warhammer Universe, and creating many new mechanical and biological technologies.

In terms of [Perception], with the Emperor's psychic power, he could easily achieve interstellar communication, locking onto a target across light-years and influencing it and the surrounding material World.

As for [Charisma]... let's just say that even after the Great Heresy, if all those who remained loyal to the Emperor were turned into grains of sand.

Then these grains of sand would most likely be enough to pile up a mountain as high as the Himalayas on Holy Terra.

With the [Human Emperor Template] talent, Li Pu not only saw a significant increase in the values of these four attributes, but his potential also increased to 1300.

As for the "infinite" supplement after the potential value, Li Pu believed it was likely related to the Emperor possibly becoming the fifth Loki of the Subspace after the "Four Chaos Gods."

In that case, his attributes would become infinite.

However, if he became the fifth Loki, the "human" side of the Emperor would completely disappear.

"I wouldn't care for that kind of 'infinity,' if it were me."

Li Pu felt he could understand the Emperor's thoughts.

Because, even without the grand narrative of "for all humanity," if one loses their "self" in pursuit of power, would the "self" after becoming powerful still be the original "self"?

Power is merely a means, not an end; one cannot confuse the order of the two.

"Besides, this attribute potential of 1300 is sufficient for now. It will take who knows how long to max out the attributes later."
