Chapter 311 302. Be normal. I was afraid that
Hades would admit that his mind went blank at that moment.
Under the huge impact of information, Hades' instinct began to scream.
He spent a moment thinking about how to escape from here and inform Mortarion and Guilliman. After realizing that it was impossible, he began to think about how to break out with the Emperor - but he also realized that he could not deal with the Emperor now. , even if he blows himself up.
After a moment of losing control of logic, Hades returned to the track of reason. He cautiously maintained his previous movements and expressions, but he could feel his heart beating faster.
For now, except for the shocking remarks just made by the emperor in front of him, his other performances are still within the scope of Hades's understanding. At the same time, the emperor... has not shown any obvious anti-social tendencies. .
Don't be a false god thread, don't be a false god thread, and don't be another more terrifying apocrypha. Hades began to pray crazily. He would rather that most of the original body were lunatics than see the emperor going lunatic. route.
Hades decided that if in the following conversation, he found out that the emperor was...then Hades might as well make an explosion today, or he might just try to accommodate him first, and then quickly sneak back to the Death Guard and persuade Mortari Allies of Allah's Primarchs.
Seeing that Hades did not respond to his plan, the Emperor stared at Hades with some confusion, but he continued.
"Step two."
The emperor opened his hands casually, lowered his eyes, and then looked into Hades's eyes again.
"Hades, do you want left or right? Although it doesn't make sense, you can make your decision as you like."
Hades felt that the hair on his neck was about to explode. He didn't understand... He couldn't understand... …The first step is for the emperor to declare himself a god, and the second step is for him to choose between his left and right? About what?
The emperor's voice was still ringing carelessly, and he was muttering some religious words... The right side is usually "uprightness and justice", and the left side is "circumvention and cunning", but these are all superstitions. kind of discourse.
...Hades's mind went blank. He spoke slowly and carefully, still maintaining the tone of his previous conversation with the Emperor, although deep inside he had already begun to scream and say goodbye to the Death Guard.
"I hope you will explain the meaning of this option in detail, Neos, I do have a phobia of choice."
The emperor was silent for a moment,
"I was negligent. You mentioned before that you were unwilling to make a choice - then Right hand."
Don't skip the questions asked by Hades and choose him directly! At least he can still struggle!
The Emperor, who could not hear Hades' inner wail at all, continued to move unhurriedly, and golden light began to gather around him. The next moment, Hades opened his eyes wide - the
Emperor raised his right hand and his left hand. Using his index finger as a knife, he lightly drew a line on the first knuckle of the little finger of his right hand. Dark red oozed out, accompanied by a soft "snap" sound.
Now, on the main conference table in the first reception room of the 19th Company of the Ultramarines, the Emperor's broken little knuckle was lying quietly. The white bones were clearly visible among the red flesh.
Hades' brain completely stopped functioning.
Silent, completely still, he witnessed the Emperor's actions with absolute astonishment.
As if he felt no pain, the Emperor calmly stared at his right hand. The golden flames licked the fracture, and the flesh and blood quickly regenerated. In the blink of an eye, the Emperor's right hand was perfect.
Then the emperor lowered his eyes and stared at the flesh and bones he had just cut off -
in an instant, a bright golden light exploded in this space! The entire room was instantly engulfed in pure white light flames.
The fierce power of faith roared in the light, with unquestionable and overwhelming violence and prejudice. The cold and ruthless spiritual light bloomed, strangling this violent power, wrestling, tearing and blending.
The whispers of thousands of creatures seem to be swaying in the fire. They are hopes, complaints, beliefs, and following... In a white light that makes it difficult to distinguish the north and south of the sky and the earth, they brush against the side of the emperor's face. They are soft words. Kissing is also cutting with a knife.
The Emperor remained expressionless, ignoring the chants of billions of people. He continued to stare at the knuckles he had just cut off. Now, the flesh and blood had melted into the flames, leaving only the white bones shining in the light.
...The flames slowly extinguished.
The Emperor picked up the bone, which looked like warm white jade that shone with golden light, but also carried bone-piercing psychic power... It was successful, and the Emperor was satisfied with it.
Then he slowly raised his head and looked at Hades standing in the corner of the room, raising his sickle towards him.
Hades stared at him as well, gripping the scythe tighter.
...
"I don't understand."
The Emperor held up the joint and said slowly,
"I don't understand either."
Hades said, he was already trying to control himself, the spiritual fire just now was too fierce. , for Hades and his black domain, this is some kind of incompatible situation.
...He didn't, he didn't run away immediately, the fucking door was locked, and it was reinforced. Hades suddenly remembered that Malcador closed the door before leaving.
Hades was screaming in his heart. He should not forget that Malcador and the Emperor were on the same side, but Malcador was still within the scope of human understanding. What was the Emperor doing? !
Hades swallowed, he should clarify something, otherwise Hades didn't think the emperor could understand why he was in the current state.
"...Nios, your current actions are very consistent with my impression of... some stereotyped villain images. I'm very worried that you are not the person I understand..." "
But... closer to some subspaces." Exist."
The Emperor fell silent as he continued to hold the joint.
"You misunderstood me, Hades, but I don't think I used misunderstood words."
Hades stared at the emperor. He felt that he might never return to the emperor this time. ...His death guard...
"I do hope that I have misunderstood you, Neos."
"But first,"
Hades said,
"I will state my position first to avoid unnecessary trouble. , I hope that, in the end, human beings can live freely, autonomously, and independently, rather than becoming believers in some kind of existence. Human beings can rely on themselves to develop and survive crises." "And I, Hades, all actions are based
on Based on the above principles, and to seek benefits for myself and those I know well without violating them."
Hades quickly stated his position, and the confusion on the emperor's face gradually turned into a smile.
Still a bright smile.
But he was holding a bone joint. In view of the emperor's speech and behavior just now, Hades thought that the whole picture had a sense of indescribable weirdness.
Hades didn't understand, he just wanted to curse people now.
The emperor spoke in a very relaxed tone,
"This is why I chose you, Hades,"
the emperor smiled,
"I haven't met someone like you for a long time. I have seen too many empty people, too many narrow people... and those who are caught in the middle and tortured to madness." The emperor smiled and shook his head
. He shook his head and said,
"I admire your open-mindedness, and I also appreciate you - if you put down the scythe."
Hades was unwavering, although he felt that he could not withstand a single move under the emperor,
"You need to eliminate my influence first. Your misunderstanding, Neos, your second step, your third step... what's the plan behind it?"
Hades paused,
"At least I haven't seen a plan that requires cutting off a section of one's little finger. "
The emperor blinked, and he seemed to be thinking,
"It can also be other parts, as long as it takes my bones."
Is this the key point? !
"Why do you need to carry your skeleton? What is it used for?"
The emperor twisted the joints in his hands. He reminded Hades of those people who were bored playing with rubber.
"This is a medium. From an occult point of view, it will be connected to my spiritual energy. Through this, I can transfer my spiritual energy, mostly the part with impure faith, to you to avoid the possibility of becoming a god. "
Hades breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly put down his scythe. The ups and downs just now made him mentally exhausted.
"You can explain it in advance instead of throwing me a multiple-choice question first."
The emperor stopped turning his bones and said,
"This may be a matter of habit. I always like to show people my power, and then I can do it again." Give them orders."
Hades took a deep breath,
"What about the explanation? After witnessing your power, people bowed their heads and worshiped without any need for your explanation. Am I right?"
Then Hades saw the Emperor nod slowly and hesitantly.
"Explanations always consume time, and in most cases, explanations do not bring benefits."
Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, Hades said that what you said is right, but he was almost scared to death just now.
If he were Malcador, he would sooner or later be frightened by the Emperor and have a heart attack. Poor old horse, he would still be frightened at such an old age.
Hades glanced at the Emperor silently, put away the scythe, and sat back silently.
Seeing him return, the Emperor smiled at him as a friendly gesture.
Hades almost lost his breath again.
"Transferring psychic energy?"
Hades changed the topic decisively. He didn't want to recall the scene just now, but the bones in the emperor's hands kept reminding him of the previous crazy scene.
"You want me to swallow this part of the psychic energy? But if you give it to me and I swallow too much..."
Hades's voice gradually trailed off, no, that's not right -
"This part of the psychic energy is not completely Let me devour them, and you hope to use them to suppress my black realm?!"
The emperor smiled and nodded,
"Yes, that's why I have to [call myself a god], your black realm is still not enough to shake the waves—— It's time for us to give you a push."
"As long as the power of faith can suppress your dark domain, you can always be active throughout the empire and release it when necessary." Hades thought
... The Emperor Now he acquiesces to the belief in Pluto, diverts the Greaser's belief to expand his dark domain, and then uses the Word Bearers to become a god, using the power of this belief to suppress Hades' dark domain.
As long as the faith in the Emperor is ensured to exceed the expansion speed of the Black Domain, Hades' Black Domain can theoretically grow to an astonishing degree - and it is guaranteed to be controllable.
It is indeed possible in theory, but this... But this is a bit crazy. If the Emperor allows faith, is it possible for the Dark Lord to accelerate... And... the four gods will definitely be aware of the Emperor's actions... This is similar to The act of building a nuclear bomb... will they take action?
Hades kept shaking his head. This was crazy, but it was indeed feasible.
He swallowed,
"It seems I have no other choice. I accept it, I accept it."
Hades stared at the emperor in front of him. Emperor, md he smiles so brightly.
Hades decided to try and save some bit of his dignity.
"But you... aren't you afraid that the existence of subspace will... act in advance?"
The Emperor put away his smile.
"It's already started, Hades. After Perfect City, you need to go to the Twelve Legions."
Yes.
