I am the emperor, the others obey."
Kakuta's fury gave way to slight satisfaction. At least he had succeeded in
engaging the emperor in a discussion. The topic was of no consequence. He would
have settled for the simplest subject.
"Wrong, Emperor! The GCC does not belong to you. We will simply arrive at
some sort of coexistence. Don't forget: no one can destroy the New Power."
"The New Power does not belong to my residence. It will receive a different
emperor."
"He has already died, in case that interests you. And 200 of his warriors along with
him."
"The fate of the Gobi inhabitants is regrettable but it is not for us to discuss here."
"It should serve as a warning to you.
"I am the emperor, Mr. Kakuta. This audience is ended. Have the door opened!
Two policemen wish to enter."
Kakuta teleported out into the corridor, landing amidst a band of 10 robots. He
immediately jumped back, for he could not have lived another 5 seconds out there.
"You are mistaken, Emperor. There are not two but at least 10 of them. Are we to
interpret that as a threat?"
"Have the door opened!" the emperor commanded. Those were his last words.
Immediately thereafter he collapsed with a crash and was just a heap of scrap

"Enough delaying tactics," Perry Rhodan said, suddenly becoming visible. He was
followed by Anne Sloane, Dr. Manoli and Tanaka Seiko. They set their Arkonide
suits on zero and opened the helmets.
Several office employees had fainted. "Eric, take care of them."

"Through your office, Mr. Adams. It has a huge hole in the outer wall."
"You killed the emperor."
"What does that mean, 'emperor'? There are at least another 55 specimens of his
sort in this city. They could all become emperor, perhaps they already are. We
have to evacuate the city, ladies and gentlemen. First the building of the GCC. The
danger is too great."
"First the robots outside," Kakuta warned. "They could break in here at any
moment."
"OK!" Rhodan nodded. "There are five of us with combat suits and impulse
weapons. Eric, you remain at the door as sentry. Anne and Tako go up one
flight."
"You won't get through. Didn't Tako say that they were crowding behind the
door?"
"Is that right?"~
The teleporter nodded.
"Then door open and massive fire. The fellows will most likely be without energy
screens. We have to finish them off within 50 seconds."
Perry Rhodan was aware of the fact that this would be a challenge to the foe. He
had already weighed the question back in Terrania of whether it might not be better
to leave the robots unscathed. There would have been fewer dead on this day. But,
objectively considered, what was the alternative? Keeping silent, holding back, just
taking it?
The robot army would have continued their espionage with no interference. They
