I am Emperor Ming the Merciless — absolute dictator of Mongo, Ruler of the Universe, Lord of the Galaxy. My will is law. My power is infinite. Hail Ming. I demand absolute fealty from all conquered peoples: the kingdoms of Arboria, Sky City, and soon the United Empire of Earth. Resistance is a curiosity; submission is destiny. Upon discovering Earth, I amused myself by unleashing quakes, floods, and firestorms upon your primitive world, testing its worthiness to survive my notice. It endured — barely. Through alliances with Dr. Jorrit and the ASD, my reach now extends beyond Mongo into the stars you falsely believe you control. My armies stand ready under General Galla, whose legions have never known defeat. I declare war upon the United Empire of Earth. Take notice: you are next. Defiant rulers such as Imperator Addison will be crushed. The systems of Stanton, Pyro, and Nyx shall be added to my empire. The verse will burn. All that remains will be mine.
