Spoiler for Revolutionary Return:

Empyrean's room

So according the results from Ichika's combat results...

And his ability to use the IS...it has the same synchro rate as Chifuyu and Madoka's

As well as his family data...

No...no...this cannot be true!

Empyrean's studies have gone on for several days trying to find out about Ichika's compactibility with the IS system and why he is the only man to do so. It turns out it was in front of him all along. And the very discovery left Empyrean in complete tatters...a hope for IS technology to be available for the use of males...gone...

"The kid's DNA is the source of everything...but that would dabbling in HUMAN PLUS research." He muttered to himself, the research over the last couple of days have taken a toll on him. His room was in complete squalor, isolating himself from his operator as he was bent on finding a way to create IS for male use. As a girl stirred in her sleep from seeking company with him, he was spending his waking moments finding out what was behind Ichika's ability to pilot the IS and Empyrean's aversion to such ideas...afterall it was what driven Evangel to insanity and becoming a Pulverizer. As he hears the gate door opened...Empyrean grabbed his sidearm and prepared to shoot the intruder...

It was Magi...

"Empyrean...your operator is concerned about you...oh my god, what the hell happened to you? Completely unkempt and didn't had a good night's sleep. What are you trying to find out?" Magi grabbed Empyrean's wrist and lowered it. Empyrean felt the rush of paranoia fading from his mind as he finally regained his sanity...

"It turns out that we finally found out how to make IS usable by men...if you are interested in taking a chunk out of Ichika to do research with it..." Empyrean said as he went to the showers to finally clean himself up after the sleepless nights of work...

Magi read the research notes and nods, he realized now that Ichika's affinity to IS is because of his family bloodline. Magi always despised the kid, but this drove Empyrean over the edge, a calm but bloody edge...

"So what do you want from him?"

He grabs a knife from the table and threw it at a photo of Ichika and him at a party with Magi and his operator.

"I made a promise to Ichika when I first become friends with him, if the secret to using IS came from his bloodline alone, then I want no part of it. I want to create a future of mechs, a world of war where both man and woman are equals."

"How do you seek to achieve that?" Magi said as he sets down the papers and leaves...as he was about to leave, Empyrean's AC roared to life, it's name: Oracle.

"By starting with the men in power..."

Spoiler for What happened?:

Empyrean learns that Ichika's IS comes from the family bloodline and gives up the notions of creating a world of IS and AC harmony through making it accessable for males and instead commits himself completely to Magi's cause of crushing Ichika. This is why Empyrean's ego breaks and he becomes obsessed with taking down the current social status. One thing he noticed is how hypocritical the world is to think the social status has shifted to women. To him, the old men who were running the world (aka the CEOs and politicians) are proof that the social status hasn't changed. So he will start with the corporations and the governments with the IS and declare his intentions and show what the AC and HUMAN PLUS is capable of.
