What matters most to a vast empire in turmoil that rules a galaxy the size of the galaxy?
One hundred people may have a hundred different answers, including from military to political, from economic to cultural, as well as the strong centrifugal force and independent tendency produced by too far distance.
But for the Human Empire, which relies mainly on violent machines such as the Astartes Space Marines to achieve its rule, there are only two problems that they are really troubled and unable to solve, namely transportation and communication.
This is also the decisive factor that most of the time determines how large an effective range of rule a regime can maintain.
Communication means that no matter how far away from the ruling center a war or rebellion occurs, the central decision-making body can obtain the news as soon as possible and respond promptly and effectively to ensure that all threats are eliminated as much as possible Nip it in the bud, instead of waiting until the opponent has reached a large scale before discovering it and sending troops to encircle and suppress it.
The Human Empire obviously does not have a mature method of inter-galactic communication, and can only use a group of psykers called "Astropaths" to transmit information through the warp.
Psykers are well known to be unstable and extremely dangerous, and are also very susceptible to the influence of subspace storms, which can completely cut off the connection with the center.
So the empire's rule over each star region has always been very loose and fragile. It can only adopt a method close to the feudal system of governors, lords, and nobles to ensure that each region can be maintained even if it cannot contact the central government. It has its own existence and even possesses certain military strength to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.
Transportation means that all planets within the entire vast dominion can be closely connected, whether it is trade or cultural exchange, or large-scale mobilization of resources and troops.
What's more, the powerful genetically modified Astartes warriors claim that a hundred people can capture a city, a thousand people can capture a planet, and ten thousand people can destroy a civilization.
As long as they can be mobilized efficiently, let alone the subspace evil gods and demons, there is absolutely no problem in launching another great expedition in the real universe to make the human empire great again.
So when Zuo Si took out a mass-produced subspace protection device that was more advanced and safer than the Geller force field, whether it was Grand Sister Grace representing the Terran Council or the Great Sage of the Mechanicum, everyone present Everyone was instantly immersed in irrepressible excitement and excitement.
The latter even made a request for testing, dismantling and research.
Because once the Imperial Navy’s space fleet is equipped with such protective devices on a large scale, it means that safety and stability can be greatly improved when traveling through subspace, and at the same time, the probability of being attacked by unexpected situations or even demons is reduced. .
This obviously hits a sore point in the Empire, and is also a temptation that neither the Council nor the Mechanicum can refuse.
Zuo Si responded affirmatively to the great sage's request without hesitation, and even packaged the relevant knowledge and technology to the other party.
The reason why he is so generous is that this knowledge has nothing to do with science. It is completely esoteric content on the magic side. It is fundamentally different from the theoretical basis mastered by the Mechanicus.
In fact, the subspace of this universe is essentially a chaotic and unreconstructed source of magic.
All psykers are actually spellcasters.
It’s just that this magic source is not stable at all, but is somewhat similar to the chaotic and wild magic area of Faerûn.
Even those who have undergone rigorous training cannot guarantee what kind of effect they can create by using subspace energy in the next second. Whether it is lightning, flames, explosions, thoughts, or other unexplainable things.
So without a large number of stable spellcasters, it is basically impossible for the Mechanicus to replicate these devices that use magic as the core.
The only one who can achieve similar operations in this universe full of darkness and depression is Shuoyou who has been upgraded and strengthened through countless rounds.
First of all, becoming an indispensable part of the human empire is the first and most important step in Zuo Si's plan.
He wants to inject the shining oil into the interior of the empire, and then disintegrate and control it bit by bit from the middle, making it his own.
As for the emperor who sits on the golden throne and claims to be not a god...
Zuo Si feels that this guy is not so much a person, but rather like the aggregation of consciousness of the entire human race.
He is not a specific life, but like the evil god of subspace, he is shaped by various human emotions, consciousness, hope, hatred, anger, belief and worship.
This is why when he first appeared and began to establish human hegemony, the imperial truth he emphasized was typical materialism, rational thinking and collectivism, and opposed all religious superstition.
Because in the eyes of humans who have just ended their golden age, this is the most ideal and perfect concept and social form.
For this the Emperor even severely punished the Primarch's son for worshiping him as a god, as well as the Legiones Astartes under his command.
But the problem is that after the Horus Heresy, the Emperor himself fell into complete silence and could no longer rule and manage the Empire. Moreover, the plan to rebuild the Ancient Saints' Webway was completely scrapped, and even the Empire's hegemony over the galaxy was no longer maintained. Precarious.
It was at this time that the state religion came into being. On the one hand, it provided the emperor with stronger power by uniting faith. On the other hand, it used religion as the basis to unite the entire human race and reduce divisions in remote areas. and independent tendencies.
Whether this plan was due to the emperor's own wishes or some people were smart, it undoubtedly pushed the emperor towards the position of the evil god of subspace.
After all, if the emperor is really born from the collective consciousness of mankind, then as the entire human empire becomes more and more ignorant, stupid, barbaric, arrogant, and arrogant, hundreds of billions of people who are enslaved and oppressed will The lowest level of society is full of anger and hatred in his heart, and he will naturally be seriously affected.
Therefore, from the moment the state religion was born and became the pillar of the empire, the fate of the emperor himself and even the human race was doomed.
No future!
No hope!
There is no redemption!
There is no such thing as a savior!
There is just endless darkness and despair, and the cold sun projected in the subspace!
If you want to change all this, it is simply impossible to do it with the power of this universe alone.
Unless all living things in the real universe are completely dead in a disaster, the Chaos God in the subspace who can draw power from the violent emotional fluctuations of mortals will never die.
So the best way to deal with the Chaos Evil God of subspace is to ban all religions and belief worship as much as possible, promote materialism and rational thinking, and let more people Trust science rather than God.
Unfortunately, what he did during the Great Crusade was too impatient. In many cases, he only required the conquered planets to nominally submit to the rule of the Terran government and pay taxes on time, without any regard for the originally decadent and backward planet. The ruling class carried out cleansing and reconstruction, and paid no attention to education to help those primitive and ignorant people re-establish their outlook on life, world view and values.
Therefore, when he himself sat on the Golden Throne, the imperial truth that he originally insisted on fell apart instantly. The state religion, which had always been regarded as heresy and needed to be suppressed or even violently eliminated, took the opportunity to rise and become the mainstream thought.
I have to say, this is really full of black humor and irony.
After all, there is nothing more ridiculous than a staunch materialist and anti-religionist turning into an almighty god worshiped by everyone.
If there is a chance, Zuo Si really wants to go to Terra to meet the human emperor and ask him about his views on the current situation of the empire. I believe it will be a very interesting meeting.
But it is a pity that Zuo Si cannot do this now.
Because Regent Robert Guilliman would never allow an unknown creature of unknown origin to get close to his great father.
While Zuo Si was standing on this planet that had been completely eroded and transformed by Shimmering Oil, he was bored and looked at the various weapons and equipment, ammunition, powered mechas, and large war machines similar to magic mechas below. When a part of the space battleship came off the fully automated assembly line and was transported to the designated location by the New Phyrexia creation, a human empire transport ship suddenly jumped out of the subspace and came to the planet's orbit.
It seems to be about thirty kilometers long. Even in this era that advocates the concept of giant ships and cannons, it can definitely be regarded as a big thing. However, it is equipped with very few weapons, only some small and medium-sized ones. Energy weapons, as well as two rows of black holes on the sides.
However, considering that the main purpose of the spacecraft is to transport personnel and supplies of materials and ammunition, it is not surprising that there are fewer weapons.
Obviously, it is absolutely impossible for a battleship of this size to land on the surface of the planet.
Because once it is firmly bound by gravity, the energy it needs to consume to fly into space with its own weight is completely astronomical.
So the huge transport ship quickly docked at the space port in high Earth orbit.
About half an hour later, the soldiers above escorted countless mortals whose hands were shackled to the space elevator and landed on the ground.
As the nun Grace who was ordered to be stationed here for a long time, she appeared in front of Zuo Si for the first time, put one hand on her chest and bowed gracefully.
“Good afternoon, Your Excellency Soth.
According to our previous agreement, the first batch of five million souls has just arrived and is waiting for your reception.
Another 30 billion souls are being transported here from various planets.
The Council hopes to obtain more subspace shield generating devices as soon as possible in order to equip more Imperial Navy fleets.
In addition, we also hope to obtain some shimmer oil to use against warp creatures including daemons.
Of course, all the demons that have been completely transformed by the shimmering oil will be sent back to this planet for you to deal with. ”
It is not difficult to tell from these words that after obtaining the subspace shield device, shimmering oil and other gadgets provided by Zuo Si, the Human Empire quickly conducted a series of actual combat tests, and without exception the results far exceeded expectations. results.
At this moment, both the Mechanicus and the Parliament have realized that this unknown existence that claims to be from another universe has enough technology and power to help the empire get out of the current desperate predicament.
So they decisively changed their previous strategy of vigilance and precaution, and wanted to establish a stable alliance with them.
As for the souls of mortals...
Sorry, let alone tens of billions or even hundreds of billions, even if you add a few zeros, it will be fine.
After all, any planet that has reached a certain level of technology has a population of at least several billion or even tens of billions. Every day, the Parliament receives as many as three to five reports that colonial planets have lost contact or been invaded. There have been as many as a dozen or twenty cases, and the death toll has often been measured in billions or tens of billions.
What's more, due to the influence of the evil god of subspace chaos, the crime rate and cult organizations in human society in this world are simply overwhelming.
Every year, the number of prisoners captured and executed in various star regions is beyond imagination.
In line with the principle of making full use of all resources, the Parliament decided after discussion to pack up some criminals and alien captives captured from the colonial planet and send them here in exchange for the most urgent needs of the empire. Something needed.
Anyway, judging from the previous battles, the relationship between Zuo Si and the subspace Chaos Evil God is probably hostile.
According to the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, the two sides also have prerequisites for becoming allies, just like the Eldar group led by Efreni.
"No problem, I can ask the foundry to add a few more production lines to meet your urgent needs, and even include a brand new super Star Destroyer weapon. As for the glimmering oil, you can have as much as you want. "
Zuo Si replied in the affirmative without hesitation, and at the same time looked at the nun who was not wearing a power mecha today but a mysterious black gauze skirt.
Through thinking and memory reading, he had already known the intention of the state church and parliament to send this mature and sexy woman to him, and he was very happy to enjoy the mutual temptation and psychology. Game.
After all, everyone knows the methods of the Tribunal.
Although these women each have titles such as "Emperor's Bride" and "Emperor's Daughter", in fact, they often need to make various sacrifices in order to complete their tasks.
In order to investigate whether a certain planetary governor is a heretic, many nuns of the Inquisition will not hesitate to sacrifice their lust to accompany the other party to bed, or even play many twisted and sick games, just to obtain evidence.
Some nuns even suffered from serious mental illness in the process of torturing, abusing and interrogating prisoners for many years.
And this is exactly what Slaanesh likes to see.
So some of them will never survive to retire, and they will become the targets of being arrested and imprisoned by the Tribunal.
Although Sister Grace has always concealed herself very well, she has never revealed her special hobbies in certain aspects.
But in front of Zuo Si, the little secret in her heart had long been exposed.
This woman who has experienced countless dangerous battles not only has very strong symptoms of violence addiction, but every once in a while she will try to find an opportunity to interrogate the prisoner alone, and use some artistic torture to torture the other person. Tortured until life was worse than death.
Thanks to the rapid development of medical technology during the long-term war in the Human Empire, minor injuries such as repairing epidermis and muscle tissue are nothing at all. Otherwise, Grace's body would have been covered with dense wounds.
Of course, considering the extremely repressive social environment of desire and emotion in this world, as well as the constant danger to life, a little perverted mental and physical hobby is not worth making a fuss about.
Because this is not an exception within the scope of imperial rule, but a common phenomenon.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the emperor's eldest son, the original body with demigod power, weren't there several people who were driven crazy?
Grace obviously didn't realize that she was already naked at this moment. She still had a reserved smile on her beautiful face and said, "Thank you so much. I would like to ask, you mentioned What does the new super star destroyer weapon refer to? "
"As its name suggests, it is a device used to directly penetrate the core of a planet. If I remember correctly, the Empire does not have any yet. A weapon can directly destroy a planet or even a star in a short period of time, right?"
As he said that, Zuo Si turned around and looked at a space not far away that was four hundred meters long and consisted of a large A super cannon composed of ten rechargeable accelerators.
It is easy to tell from the ferocious appearance and a large number of crystal-like translucent structures that this thing is basically either the evil energy technology of the Burning Legion, the light casting technology of the Holy Light Legion, or a combination of both. advantages.
The principle of its action is also very simple. It is to directly extract energy from subspace to bombard a certain target. The effect is similar to some kind of space super weapon, which can directly blow a planet into pieces or release high-energy particles. Burn the entire planet to glass.
Due to the high instability of subspace energy, what will happen depends on luck.
No matter what the final result is, the planet hit by the giant cannon will definitely be gone.
“Destroy a planet or even a star instantly?!”
Grace's pupils suddenly dilated when she heard these words. She stared at the translucent device that looked a bit like a spire, and her breathing became rapid every time.
You must know that the most destructive weapon in the human empire today, apart from large-scale orbital bombing, is a virus bomb used by Warmaster Horus during the rebellion.
This kind of bomb can easily bypass the filtration system of the power mecha, directly kill all life on the surface, including the Astartes warriors, and then decompose the corpses and decaying plants to release a flammable Explosive gas.
When these gases are ignited, a fire storm that destroys everything will immediately form on the surface of the entire planet.
After the flames are extinguished, there will be basically no living things left on the surface of the planet.
The human empire relies on this kind of weapon to easily and efficiently kill the indigenous people on a planet, and then sow seeds to rebuild an ecosystem suitable for itself and turn it into an environment suitable for human habitation.
As for what really wants to destroy a planet, the only thing the Empire can do now is to saturate the star where the planet is located, and drag the entire star system into the abyss of destruction by triggering violent flares or even supernova explosions.
So Star Destroyer weapons are obviously very attractive to the Empire.
"Yes! Like the force field generator, it also uses subspace energy, so it does not increase the energy consumption of the battleship itself. And it only takes one shot to hit the planet under our feet. It disintegrated within ten minutes and turned into dust floating in the dark sky. It’s a pretty good gadget, isn’t it?”
Zuo Si walked directly under the cannon, raised his hand and patted it gently. Transparent barrel.
moment!
The mysterious lines and magic runes inside immediately began to shine with a dazzling light. It only took one glance for Grace to realize that this must be using the same technology as the force field generator.
Even the Martian headquarters of the Adeptus Mechanicus has no clue about this technology. It is simply worse than the Necron technology relics discovered by Regent Robert Guilliman in the area he formerly ruled. All are more complex.
At least although the technology of the Necrons is so advanced that it astonishes human scientists, there are still some basic parts in common.
However, these mysterious symbols and patterns in front of me belong to two completely different systems from existing science.
But fortunately, the Mechanicus has long been accustomed to this.
After all, this is not the first time they have dug up something completely incomprehensible.
Since ancient civilizations such as the Ancient Saints and Necrons have appeared in this universe before, relying on archeology for scientific and technological research and development is not a joke, but can really bring about a qualitative leap in an instant.
No need for civilizations like the Ancient Saints and Necrons that are close to the god level, even finding a few technological artifacts left over from the golden age of mankind can make the oil guys fall into ecstasy.
"Are you going to give it to us for use?"
Grace asked cautiously after being silent for a long time.
Through this period of time together, she thought she had a rough understanding of the character of the unknown existence in front of her, and her attitude became much more relaxed from the initial fear and awe.
I even thought that maybe the mechanical priest's inference was correct. There was a certain probability that the other party really came from Terra in another parallel universe.
Because during the communication process, the two parties never had even the slightest misunderstanding due to different habits, customs and understanding of the universe.
You must know that even different intelligent creatures living in the same galaxy will cause quite a problem in this regard when they first come into contact, not to mention unknown beings from another universe.
But what about Zuo Si?
Not only can we communicate without any barriers, but we can also often say some sarcasm and humor that only humans can understand, making everyone who can listen smile.
And this is precisely the manifestation of a high degree of familiarity with human thought and culture.
However, considering that they are still in the stage of getting familiar with each other, the parliament is not rushing to get to the bottom of it, but is slowly building a relationship of trust.
When the time is right, Grace will raise this question to test the other party's reaction.
"That's right! If you need it, I can provide one such Star Destroyer Cannon every month in the future. But in exchange, I hope to gain the rule of this star field located on the remote border of the empire. Quan.”
Zuo Si made his request calmly.
Because the resources on the planet at his feet alone cannot satisfy his appetite, it is natural to expand his sphere of influence outwards.
What's more, in the soul transaction with the Human Empire, what the other party actually provides are living people, not soul prisms.
This means that if you don't want to cause a bloody massacre to benefit the evil god of Khorne, you must first sign a contract with these people and then raise them to wait for them to slowly die naturally.
To feed these people requires enough space, sufficient food, daily necessities and entertainment activities.
Grace was silent for a moment and responded quickly: "This matter is beyond my authority. I need to report it to the Terran Council."
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Okay, I'm waiting for your good news. Oh, I almost forgot, I also prepared a small gift for you, I hope you like it."
"Oh? A gift for me?"
< br>
Grace was stunned.
Because she knew very well that she was just an insignificant person in the whole process, a mouthpiece for the empire's high-level officials to communicate with the unknown existence in front of them, and even a cannon fodder who sacrificed herself when necessary to fight for the interests of mankind.
Although this nun has been showing off her feminine charm, she has absolutely no confidence in whether it can have any effect on a metal man whose whole body is made entirely of high-pressure alloy.
After all, the Mechanicus has long ago proven that when the body is abandoned and only the brain is retained, most of human desires will be reduced or even disappear completely due to the loss of hormone secretion.
In order to maintain their humanity, the priests of the Mechanicum will even install additional synthetic hormone devices on their life support systems to maintain their strong fighting spirit and desire to explore science and technology.
"Haha, follow me. It's placed in the sealed black box in front."
Zuo Si smiled pretending to be mysterious, and then walked straight into a small room behind the fully automatic assembly line.
Grace followed closely, and soon saw a large ceramic box placed on the table in this empty room.
This stuff is the basic material for the empire to manufacture various types of power armor and armor. It has been widely used in various fields since its invention.
But this is the first time I have seen it used to make a box.
Just when the nun was staring at the box in a daze, Zuo Si suddenly turned around without warning and whispered in the former's ear: "Go, open it, the gift I gave you is inside."
< br>In an instant!
Grace seemed to be stimulated and frightened. Goosebumps instantly appeared all over her body, and her heart began to beat three times as fast as usual.
But fortunately, she had experienced many big scenes so she did not lose her composure. She just nodded her head calmly, then walked to the table delicately, stretched out her hands and pressed the open buttons on both sides of the box.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the heavy box was instantly opened, revealing a gem pendant shining with black and red light inside.
With just one glance, Grace's eyes were deeply attracted by the light emitted by the gem, as if it had some incredible magic power.
Through the dim light reflected by the gem, she seemed to see another version of herself, a killing fallen angel with black wings on his back, wearing black armor, and soaked in blood from head to toe.
Especially on the inside of the black armor, you can vaguely see dense spikes piercing into the skin and muscles and tearing them apart.
And around the feet were densely packed large areas of human beings who had their skin peeled off, their teeth pulled out, and even their eyelids, noses and lips completely cut off, wailing constantly.
"What are you waiting for? Why not put it on? As long as you put it on, you can release the true self that has been suppressed in your heart. I can give you the maximum of everything you desire in your heart. "Satisfied."
Zuo Si stood behind the other party and whispered the devil. At the same time, he raised his cold metal hands and lightly scratched his face. His sharp nails, like knives, dug deeply into the skin and muscles, leaving a mark. A striking bloodstain.
Obviously, that is not an ordinary necklace or amulet, but something that can directly transform a person into a devil.
Once worn voluntarily, transformation begins immediately.
Huh-huh-huh-
One minute...
Two minutes...
Five minutes...
Ten minutes...
Although this man has made great contributions to the empire The great nun kept trying to awaken her devout faith and loyalty to the God-Emperor, but her long-suppressed desires finally broke down the dam of reason like a flood.
Under the dual effects of psychological suggestion and spiritual magic, he finally chose to close his eyes and put the necklace around his neck.
In the blink of an eye, densely packed spikes with barbed hooks suddenly sprouted from the bottom of the ring necklace, piercing directly into the deep flesh of the neck and shoulders.
When a large amount of blood began to flow from the entire neck, slender tentacles full of spikes suddenly extended from the necklace, and began to beat Grace's body like a violent storm.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Hahahaha! That's right! Pain! More pain!"
Under normal circumstances, 80% of cases like this will be caused by subspace The evil god Slaanesh is targeting him.
But Zuo Si apparently blocked all connections between this place and the outside world, and at the same time introduced the power of Baator Hell to guide the other party.
Gradually, a pair of curved horns gradually grew on Grace’s scarred forehead. The blood and broken skin were glued together on the back to become wings, and large black wings grew. , the dried black blood on the surface of the body solidified into a beautifully horrifying armor, and in his hand was a long sword shaped from several of his own ribs.
In the end, she completely transformed into the reflection she had seen in the necklace before, a fallen angel who could derive pleasure from pain and violence.
However, unlike ordinary demons reincarnated in hell, the essence of her evil and corrupt power does not come entirely from Baator Hell, but also partly from the subspace of this universe.
Zuo Si hopes to better understand subspace and the operating rules of this universe through this method.
With the complete transformation from soul to body, Grace, who was half-kneeling on the ground, finally completely gave up her human identity. She suddenly raised her head and revealed a pair of blood-red eyes filled with strong desire.
At this moment, her soul had turned black and red under the distortion of desire. She slowly spread her black wings and stood up from the ground, bending down and bowing gracefully.
“Thank you for giving me a new life, great master. Now I finally don’t have to suppress myself anymore. I really hope other nuns can unshackle themselves like me and don’t have to continue to suppress their desires.”
“This is exactly the task I want to give you.
Go and help those painful and repressed nuns to release their nature without fear of the threat of Slaanesh from the warp.
>
Because now you are a part of the subspace.
The more nuns you transform, the stronger the power formed by your projection in subspace.
When the time comes, maybe I can tear apart the throne of sex abuse and become a queen of pain or even a goddess.
The most important thing is that the human empire is already hopeless.
The only thing we can do is to draw enough nutrients from the rotting corpse to save mankind and rebuild civilization before it collapses completely. ”
With that said, Zuo Si stretched out a finger and pressed his own soul mark on the other person's forehead.
“Understand, I will continue to help the nuns awaken from the inside, abandon those ridiculous beliefs and unrealistic loyalty, and embrace the future that truly belongs to us.”
Grace lifted up He started to stick out his tongue and licked his seductive red lips.
As a senior nun, she knows better than anyone else how many people among the nuns have gradually become distorted and abnormal due to long-term repressed desires. They can only obtain some relief through constant torture and abuse of themselves.
Zuo Si stared into the eyes of the new Queen of Pain and warned: "Be careful, don't get caught. You must know that Robert Guilliman, the regent and original body, is not an easy character to deal with. Behind him The emperor who has been silent for a long time is also not a fuel-efficient lamp. I don’t want to see the plan to hollow out the empire from the inside eventually turn into a war.”
"Please rest assured, I will be very careful. Compared to this, I am more curious about how you plan to deal with the prisoners who were sent all the way here. Are you going to kill them directly and steal their souls?" Grace said with a slightly curious expression. tone asked.
Zuo Si replied meaningfully: "No, of course not.
Because any form of killing will arouse the vigilance and disgust of the Terran Council.
Because under the Emperor Under the guidance of the emperor, there is a strong trend of human supremacy throughout the empire.
They may be able to accept the execution of their own people, and even use criminals to conduct various cruel experiments. br>
But it is difficult to accept an outsider slaughtering his own countrymen on a large scale.
To maintain the so-called alliance, I need to show humanity and kindness.
So my approach is to sign contracts with these people and then raise them to wait for their natural death.
In fact, sending the living prisoners here is most likely a test conducted by the Council of Terra, and I will not fall for them.
After all, I actually prefer sustainable development to one-time harvesting, even if it’s harvesting souls.
Come on, now let's go and see what crimes those poor people who were sent here have committed. ”
With the last word blurted out, Zuo Si pushed open the closed door and walked out directly.
Grace instantly cast her innate transformation magic and transformed directly from the devil form. She transformed into the former human nun, even the black gauze skirt she wore was perfectly replicated.
But only she knew that the former nun who was loyal to the emperor and the empire was dead. Now he is the first monster in his heart who desires to bring pain and suffering to himself and others at the same time.
As for the master who created him, Grace doesn't know much about it, and can only feel it vaguely. The other party controls his own soul in some way
Whenever she wants to draw power from subspace and Baator Hell, she must go through the transit station Zuo Si.
Otherwise, you will be a tree without roots, and you will become extremely weak once your reserves are used up.
Not to mention using various abilities and spells, even maintaining life will become a huge problem.
What's more, the strict hierarchy among the devils is enough to make Grace, as a subordinate, unable to muster the slightest will to resist.
After all, she is just an experimental creation made by Zuo Si to explore subspace, a tool to test the relationship between the real universe and subspace.
If something goes wrong, it can be erased at any time through soul imprinting.
It must be said that after the emperor himself sat on the Golden Throne and fell into silence, the human empire was in a state of decline, and there were simply countless internal problems.
A nun with huge weaknesses and flaws like Grace has been hiding for so many years without being discovered, and she even dared to be sent to a big devil like Zuo Si who is good at playing with emotions, human nature and desires. I simply don’t know how to write the word death.
It’s fine now.
With Grace's secret rebellion, the decision-making of the empire's top management has begun to be transparent to Zuo Si. The next thing to do is to continue to infiltrate and completely dig out the decaying human empire from its roots.
