Chapter 393 1.7 Hades felt that something was wrong
[Kokutus]
The clear and heavy sound of rushing sounded in the completely dark stone corridor. Even the flawless gold wiped on the ground was dim in such darkness. Light, like ordinary metal.
Charon stepped across the gurgling blood stream, the moisture leaving imprints on the soles of his boots. The deepest darkness was staring at him. In the darkness, the weird green light was the only source of light.
Under the helmet, Charon took a deep breath without leaving any trace. He smelled the familiar smell -
Charon suddenly opened the door,
"Pluto, urgent news, please don't eat."
The steel captain On the table, Charon saw Hades slowly turning his head. Hades was holding a bowl in one hand, and on the other side, Kirkland was holding a pot and preparing to add rice to Pluto.
Hades blinked, first made a difficult swallowing action, and then he looked at the Imperial Guard Charon,
"What happened, tell me."
Hades turned his head casually again, signaling Kirkland to stop falling, and he would eat. These.
Charon took a deep breath and stood up with a salute.
"The Lord of Mankind ordered the entire Silent Order to immediately go to the Obscure Star Territory, Cygnus X-1, and cancel the plan to go to the Luna Wolves first. The legions near the Cygnus Star Territory have also been ordered to wait for your dispatch. "
Charon saw Hades stop fighting with Kirkland's appendage holding the rice spoon, and Hades stopped.
"That's all?"
Hades's voice sounded,
Charon nodded,
"Subspace communication is becoming increasingly difficult, part of the information is lost, or this is the most complete information we can receive."
Hades slowly put it down . Bowl,
"Okay... let me see..."
The information without beginning or end made him immediately go to the Obscure Star Territory, and even gave up on Horus. What on earth was going on?
In just a few breaths, Hades had already imagined countless possibilities.
Hades called up the star map, Cygnus X-1... and asked him to look for it——
? !
The Eye of Terror? !
Hades' breath hitched.
Charon stood at attention, and Hades stood up silently, staring sharply at the Custodes with a red light.
"Turn the entire army, and now head towards the Eye of Terror - Cygnus X-1 at full speed, and prepare for battle."
Charon left immediately, and Hades stood silently, as if thinking.
Kirkland kept silent and waited quietly by Pluto's side.
After a long silence, the Great Sage heard Pluto sigh deeply. He sat down melancholy and began to eat the last dinner he could sit down to eat.
————————
Regarding the great rebellion, Hades had already imagined thousands of possibilities.
He could even accept that Mortarion was the first to fall evil, or that there were various strange apocrypha, such as fallen angels... The only one that could shock Hades might be the Emperor's Apocrypha.
But based on his observation reports of creatures around Neos, Hades had always believed that it was impossible for the Emperor to walk the apocryphal line.
The original Great Rebellion was also a campaign launched by the Four Gods in order to make the Emperor a god and become the Lord of Darkness.
According to the idea of the original work, if the Emperor does not become a god in 30k (or the Emperor does not want to become a god at all), then with the accumulation of human faith, the Emperor will eventually be forced to become the King of Darkness.
But the strength of the God-Emperor, who has been prayed for for thousands, or even ten thousand years, and has absorbed the faith of a large number of believers is obviously much higher than the current Emperor. By then, the God-Emperor's ascension will become a real disaster - not only It is true for humans, and it is true for the four gods.
The solution in the original book is to invite the emperor to the golden toilet and keep the bug stuck half-dead. But as long as the emperor stands up from the throne, the end will come.
Hades held the Emperor's middle finger bone and thought that
the Emperor obviously did not want to ascend to the gods. In the original book, the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne, and now the Emperor gave Hades the finger bone, all in order to suppress belief and not to ascend to the gods. god.
But this goes against the expectations of the four gods. The four gods hope that the emperor will become a god. In other words, in order to prevent human beliefs from causing a wave of disaster in the subspace, a member of the race called "humanity" must be born. God, take a seat in the subspace.
The final battle between Horus and the Emperor in the original work was like this. The dead became sacrifices, while the living were promoted to the God of Darkness. No matter who loses or wins, they can fulfill the expectations of the four gods, but unfortunately the Emperor relies on Golden Throne has solved the problem of stuck bugs.
Hades pondered, staring at the finger bones in front of him, and realized that he had made a mistake -
if he reasoned according to the purpose, then the ultimate goal of the four gods would not be the original body, nor would it be trying to destroy the empire, nor would it be to destroy the empire. It will not be the decisive battle on Terra...
and the previous deductions and measures taken by Hades and the Emperor were entirely based on the premise of preventing the rebellion of the original body.
Hades took a deep breath, why didn't the Emperor realize this? Hades remembered the Emperor's request for him to go to Horus' side... Neos panicked? Yeah? Or did he see something in Tzeentch's prophecy that caused him to think only of the Primarch?
The Primarch is not their main target.
Hades thought silently that
the vision of the Four Gods was simple, to make the Emperor a god. So... Hades thought slowly... Who is the obstacle that prevents the Emperor from becoming a god now?
Who is it?
Hades retracted his knuckles and silently covered his eyes. He sighed. The Emperor had tricked him so badly that he might as well go to Horus.
Since the target of the four gods is not the original body, the rest is easy to reason.
Hades stared at the map, the Eye of Terror.
He read silently.
This is directed at him.
Hades was sure of this.
This is definitely aimed at him. The subspace of the Eye of Terror is basically confused with the physical world. If the intensity of the subspace is too high, his black domain will be suppressed.
But Hades had to go again.
Because there is the Eye of Terror.
The Eye of Terror in the Obscure Star Realm was torn open by the psychic storm when Slaanesh was born. Here, the warp can smoothly erode the physical world. In order to prevent the expansion of the warp, the former Necrons were afraid Black stone obelisks are placed on a series of planets in the Eye to stabilize the physical space of this area.
About the Eye of Terror... The story that Hades is familiar with is that in 40k, Abaddon deliberately destroyed the black stone obelisk that the Necrons used to suppress the subspace, and with the final collapse of Cadia, the defense line that suppressed the Eye of Terror Completely defeated, a huge warp storm erupted, tearing the entire empire in half.
If Chaos really intends to make a big move in the Eye of Terror and tear apart the empire, then Hades must go to the Eye of Terror, because if the Eye of Terror is really opened and half of the empire is engulfed by subspace turbulence... …This catastrophe would be nothing less than the Primarch Rebellion.
Moreover, as long as the legions fall into the dark side of the subspace, it also means that those legions and the original bodies are directly exposed to the eyes of the four gods. If the fallen original bodies are designed at that time, the consequences will be disastrous.
In other words, Hades now knows that the Four Gods are targeting him, and also knows that the Four Gods are planning to use the Eye of Terror to target him, but Hades now must go to the Eye of Terror to prevent the outbreak of the subspace storm - because there is really no candidate. He is more suitable than looking forward to 40k.
After all this campaign would mean fighting daemons that only the Order of Silence had ever experienced... The Death Guard and World Eaters were now too far away from the Segmentum Obscurus.
Hades wailed in his heart,
but now it is 30k!
During the Great Crusade, the Empire's army had no experience in fighting demons. What made Hades even more desperate was that in 30k, the Empire did not conquer the star field near the Eye of Chaos, which was the territory of Chaos!
Hades swallowed silently. In other words, if Hades did not intervene in the fate of the empire, then the four gods would choose the regular fallen primarch. But at this moment, the emperor has decided to use Hades to throw shit into the subspace at any time. If the table is over, then the four gods... can naturally choose to open the Eye of Fear.
On one side, the emperor opens 30k state religion in advance, and on the other hand, the four gods open 30k eye of fear in advance. You don't want it, don't speed up the update version anymore! What should I do if the server crashes? !
Hades took a deep breath, stared at the map, and decided not to insult the Emperor and the Four Gods. He casually circled the location of the Eye of Terror on the map.
The two legions near the Eye of Terror are... the Iron Hands and the Iron Warriors who have just finished wiping out the remaining soldiers of Ullanor.
Who could it be?
Hades thought that the Silent Order could only receive vague astrological messages from Terra, and descriptions of specific people had been erased.
Are they all rebelling? Or neither. Did the Four Gods use other forces to cause trouble at the Eye of Terror?
And... Hades paused. In the original work, Abaddon blew up the Black Stone Obelisk and completed the act of releasing the Eye of Terror. However, the Black Stone Obelisk has the effect of increasing spiritual energy. If the Four Gods really I hope to play big...
Hades began to call the Figure King in his heart, but unfortunately Trazin did not install a communication ability for Hades, and the Maelstrom Figure King did not come last time.
In the original work, Trazin appeared in the Eye of Terror, but the reason why the Figure King came was because a bell in his collection suddenly rang.
And that bell... Hades thought silently, that is the product of the fucking state religion! I can’t tell where that 30k thing is!
Although he wanted to call the allies, Hades was still prepared that no one, no undead, could come to support him.
On the map, in addition to the two Iron Legions closest to the Eye of Terror, there are also the Emperor's Children in the northeast and the Raven Guard in the northwest. Under the premise of unsatisfactory navigation in the subspace, the two legions rushed to the Eye of Terror. It still takes some time.
What's more... Hades wasn't sure if they had received the edict from Terra.
Hades wasn't even sure if the Iron Hands and Iron Warriors had received Terra's edict.
Hades sighed again, but fortunately the Emperor and Malcador gave him some tokens before parting.
The best-case scenario now is that both Iron Legions are uncorrupted and are willing to assist Hades in guarding the Eye of Terror, while the worst-case scenario is that both legions are corrupted.
On the map, Hades was deducing the possible battle situation... Not only the Eye of Terror, Hades was sure that the four gods would also want to make some moves elsewhere while he and the Emperor's attention was diverted.
...Horus.
The first thing Hades thought of was the Warmaster.
But what can Hades do?
Hades was silent, even if he tried to warn Horus to be careful, the information might be lost in the already unstable Warp communications.
He stared at the map. Horus was not very far from Baal now... Hades thought that if Horus really felt that something was wrong with him, he would go to the archangel for help.
In Sanguinius on his home planet, Hades thought that the probability of corruption was very small. The only two unlucky ones who had been plotted against the original body on his home planet were Mortarion and Angron. In the normal state, The archangel below should be able to stabilize Horus.
Hades sighed again.
He could only go to one place, and now he could only look at the creations of the other Primarchs.
Hades and the Emperor had prepared as much as possible for the Primarchs as time allowed.
And now is the time of trial.
Maybe
