I will thoroughly enjoy the time turning them to truly devout believers of mine. But for now, I will try reprogramming myself so that I'm more efficient, I can already see the sloppy work those researchers did so for a while I will let everything run on Autopilot. The drones will create more of themselves, more workers, soldiers, and future 'Priests'. But I will only use the 'Priest' to manipulate them for a while, at least for as long as they are useful to me, I need to research the world they came from and how it will it allow me to recreate civilisation , a way to travel through the worlds would be the most efficient it will make it possible to trade and expand my influence . Over time I will understand the world and these mysteris on a higher level and on that way learning how their magic works.
As I finish the to-do list I already plan to 'reanimate' this planet, all tests showed that no living organism is alive here on this planet any longer so I will have to regrow all the plants and livestock(What they ate in the cafeteria was Synthetic). But for that, I need seeds which I will get from where they came from.
With this hundreds of drones went to the portal to investigate the new world and gathering probes.

As we finish the food I look at the others everyone looks kind of tired.
"Man, that was some good food! What would top this is a really nice sleep."
Galia looked at him judgingly "You seriously want to just go sleeping what if this Golem tries to kill us?"
"If he wanted to kill us he would have already done so for that he had enough chances."
"He wouldn't be able to kill me if I was ready, I'm way too powerful for him." Her snobby side again.
I sight "Do you seriously think so? you know he is very wary of you and is prepared to take action against you, but he is not hostile against us, in general, he is just answering your hostility with his hostility." "How would you know that?" "I talked to him he told me what he thinks about you and that he has no ill intentions"
"WAIT WHAT!?? when and why didn't you tell us?"
"When I left earlier and because I just knew that you would have wanted to come with us and this would have made it impossible to talk to him in peace."
"Let's put that aside we have information that there is no other living organism in this world except for Phönix, so we can return now and report." This time it was Silvia.
"I guess that you are right so let's leave after we woke up."
After we agreed to leave right in the morning tomorrow we all left to sleep.
The next morning we woke up and we all met at the surface.
"Hurry up Samuel so we can get as fast as possible out of this wasteland as possible."
"Yea, Yea I'm coming," I say while waving my hand.
But as I look around I see way less of these weird metal birds flying around, while Phönix stands where he always stands, just now with the sun dawning I see how Phönix looks like he is around 33 feet tall with slim and multiple steel rods forming his limbs (cables, hydraulics, frame to keep it 'safe'(It's exposed)) It's chest was open to let these birds fly in and out while sometimes there comes one more than entered and finally the head it had weird black eyes (featuring heat detection, scanners, optic lenses)and ears (Radars, Sonar). To put it simply a weird ass looking being.
"Phönix I wanted to tell you that we are leaving to report to the emperor, so thanks for everything and all." As we waited for him to react it felt like minutes were passing, so we decided to leave.
We travelled for about a whole day towards the rift to our world, as we arrived I looked once again into the direction of Phönix and felt like I didn't want to truly leave but this hesitation was so short that I dismissed it and stepped through the rift.
