章 6: Delving into the Depths of the Zen Empire
A palpable air of anticipation blanketed the vast underground chamber. World leaders, military figureheads, and leading scientists were seated in a semicircle, all gazes firmly affixed to the stage where Professor Lena Carver stood. As she adjusted her glasses, a large screen behind her blinked to life, revealing the structure of the Zen Empire.
"Today," Carver began, her voice echoing in the chamber, "I'll walk you through the intricate hierarchy of the Zen Empire — a complex structure that could provide us with potential weaknesses, or at the very least, a clearer understanding of our adversary."
She pointed to the base of the pyramid on the screen. "The Punes: they may not be the strongest warriors of their home planets, but they're very close — a close second in terms of raw power. These individuals, although not apex on their respective planets, greatly impressed the Zen Empire with their prowess."
Chancellor Werner whispered, "So, even their base rank is comprised of elite warriors from across galaxies. That's... intimidating."
Carver continued, "The Pune Lords, directly above the Punes in rank, are the champions of their worlds. Each capable of commanding vast squads of Punes, a single Pune Lord possesses the capability to lay waste to armies of less advanced planets. They are the true might of the Zen ground forces."
General Nunez remarked, "Just one can decimate an entire army? The scale of their power is staggering."
The screen transitioned to show the Ambassadors. "Next, the Ambassadors," Carver said. "They aren't just elite — they transcend the capabilities of Pune Lords. Entrusted with leading campaigns to conquer planets, they are titans among giants. Any civilization, no matter how advanced, would find an Ambassador to be a formidable adversary."
President Obinna inhaled sharply, "That means we may soon face beings of unimaginable power if we resist their overtures."
Carver's pointer then highlighted The Six Absolute. "Above the Ambassadors, we have The Six Absolute. These beings are not just unique; they are the epitome of power in their universe. The Zen Empire bestowed upon them Genous, elemental powers drawn directly from the very building blocks of the cosmos. The Genous vary: from the chilling capability of the Absence of Heat, which can negate warmth from entire regions, to the uncharted and untapped power of dark matter."
Minister Li pondered aloud, "The Absence of Heat Genous... the implications of such a power in warfare are... catastrophic."
Nodding, Carver concluded, "And overseeing this vast empire are the Zen Elders. Not only are they the pillars of strength, but they are also the intellects, the strategists, the visionaries. They are the soul of the Zen Empire."
Secretary-General Rosa posed, "Do we have any intel on these Elders? Anything that could give us an edge?"
The room echoed with urgent discussions. The leaders realized the gravity of the situation: they were up against not just a formidable force, but an empire of unparalleled power and hierarchy.
