Mark stood before the scientists, arms spread wide, a grin across his face. Behind him, a painting of his triumph hung proudly, symbolizing his control over the world. But today wasn’t about military power. Today, Mark had discovered something much greater—an energy source that would fuel his empire for centuries.

"We have found it, Supreme Ruler," a scientist stammered. "The ultimate energy source... emotions."

Mark’s grin widened. "Emotions?" he repeated. "Explain."

"It turns out human emotions generate incredible energy. Fear and belief are the strongest. The more people fear or believe in you, the more power we can harness."

Mark nodded. "So, the more they tremble before me, the stronger I become?"

"Exactly, Supreme Ruler. We’ll build ‘emotional power plants’ where citizens will be flooded with propaganda—your image, your strength. Their fear and devotion will be converted into pure energy."

Within weeks, emotional power plants emerged across the globe. Massive screens projected endless footage of Mark’s speeches and victories. Citizens watched for hours, generating energy from every shiver of fear and spark of belief.

"Fear is power," Mark thought, as energy meters soared. "With every tear, every tremble, my empire grows stronger."

Nations that resisted were overwhelmed with round-the-clock broadcasts of Mark’s triumphs. His leadership, his brilliance, even his handshake (immortalized in the painting behind him) became omnipresent. Over time, resistance crumbled—not through force, but from the unrelenting emotional barrage.

"This," Mark whispered as the energy gauges surged, "is the future."
