Chapter 704 The Dust of History
“Horus.”
Malcador breathed hard:
“There are things in this galaxy that you don’t understand. Just because you don't need to know, and that knowledge will eat away at your heart, you know?"
Horus was still trembling, and then took a moment to sway to his feet. and took a step forward.
The Sealmaster was still fiddling with his simple robes and the ancient technology collar around his neck absentmindedly.
“You are unable to see clearly what we are doing to you because you are too focused on what you think you deserve, your earthly concept of sacrifice without sacrifice, and that is how you can ascend... "
Horus's hand is close to the hilt of his sword in the sheath at his waist. Its prongs are shaped into the wings of an eagle, shining with golden light, and in the center is the all-seeing Eye of Terra.
"And this, this is why humans cannot be ruled by supermen! Your concerns are different from those of mortals, who must eat, sleep, love, fear, and ultimately...die. People will never understand that you are born with If you can't see this truth clearly, then you are all the fallacy that I need to prove."
The energy field of the sword was activated the moment it was unsheathed, and Khan shook his head and pressed the button. Caught the arm of Horus.
"Calm down, brother, think about where you are standing."
Horus's expression was still gloomy, he stared at the fragile old man in front of him,
then raised his sword high and held It stabs into the tabletop.
The tip of the sword pierced the hardened wood and completely penetrated the floor below.
“I despise you!”
Horus spat at the Sealbearer.
"You and this shadowy bureaucratic council, people like you have no qualifications to rule. An empire ruled by mortals would be... that... that would be..."
"That's exactly what your father wanted."
Makado took a deep breath, looking extremely tired.
"Leave here, Horus, and return to the expeditions and killings you deeply love. You will have your moments of glory, I promise you."
Soshyan lowered his head and saw half a meter away from the debate table, the Eye of Terra and the Sky Eagle turned upside down into a strange symbol, like some kind of terrible omen.
Looking at this scene, Soshiyang had a lot of thoughts in his heart. The witnesses of this kind of history have long since disappeared. Just like his original body, they were lost in the torrent of history and no one knows about it.
But recalling Horus’s words, Soshyan could not help but have doubts.
Is mortal rule a failure or a success?
Judging from the outcome of the debate between Malcador and Horus, Malcador seemed to have won.
Just as he was meditating, the whole world shattered again. He was still in that hall, and Brahma lay quietly in his palm.
The material of this weapon is neither gold nor stone. Instead, it has the texture of amber. It is engraved with mysterious carvings, and there is a gap in the center of the head.
Soshiyan blinked and found that the size of the opening was similar to something, so he took out the red amulet.
After comparing them, they found that they were exactly the same size, so he carefully put the red amulet into the gap.
Before he let go, Fentian heard a soft click and locked the red amulet by himself.
Suddenly, those silent constructs revived again, but the flashing red light on their heads turned into a relatively peaceful green light.
Although he didn't know what happened, Soshyan guessed that he had probably obtained the command authority of these constructs, and Loken had already touched them.
“Guigui, if you take this thing out, it would be like a sage——”
As a result, as soon as he touched one of them, he suddenly began to tremble violently, and at the same time, he started to tremble violently. Sparks from the electric shock can be seen on the robotic arm.
"Let it go."
As soon as Soshiyang commanded, Loken's shaking finally stopped, and he collapsed directly to the ground with smoke all over his body.
"Good, so good--" After seeing that Loken was fine, Soshyan turned around, only to find that all the warriors were looking at him.
Then Mark was the first to kneel down on one knee, followed by other warriors.
Soshyan felt the weight on his shoulders, and the past history was weighing heavily on him. If the hallucinations at that time were really memories of the past, then their original body had voluntarily sacrificed for the Empire.
And this sacrifice will eventually bear fruit on them.
Thinking of this, although Soshiyang was thinking a lot, he didn’t know what to say.
Finally, he raised Brahma and said in a deep voice:
"The Immortal Army will last forever!"
"The undead army exists forever! The undead army exists forever!"
The soldiers shouted in unison.
"Huh? There seems to be something else."
Suddenly, Soshiyang heard Loken's surprised voice coming from behind him. He turned around and saw the Tech Priest working on the statue. Groping under the pedestal.
Soon he found a button on the relief and pressed it gently.
Just hearing a slight transmission sound, the base opened a hidden compartment and delivered a rusty box.
Soshiyang immediately walked over, and Loken gave up his position knowingly.
He squatted down, pulled out the last lock pin, and reached out to open the lid.
The upper board covered the entire box and was as thick as his palm. Soshyan reached under and gently pushed it open.
At the same time, he smelled the stale dust rushing out of the opening, and suddenly felt uneasy.
But eventually he pushed the lid back.
Loken stretched his neck out of curiosity, only to see a bulky thing in the box, wrapped in what looked like a coarse cloth bag.
Soshyan took out a knife from his boot and started cutting. He saw what was inside, but he didn't stop until every piece of fabric was cut and removed, just to make sure.
Finally, he stood up straight and stared down at what he had just unwrapped.
“What is that?”
Mark asked curiously.
Soshyan did not answer immediately. A strange feeling of horror surged through his body, blocking his words.
When he finally spoke, his voice seemed very dry.
"There's nothing inside."
Mark walked to the box, looked inside, and saw what Soshyan saw.
"Ah."
Inside the box is a large piece of stone, maybe granite, just like the most common stone underground, and even some of the edges are cracked.
It occupies most of the space inside the box, with a slender tapered shape at one end and a mottled, rough oval shape at the other end, like a water droplet.
This may be a piece of a certain building, as if it was discarded from some ancient building into the sand. The only thing special is that it has a line of words engraved on it in Gothic - —
[Glory and shame are hidden in Pandora’s box]
Woohoo, all readers, if you read it well, vote for Lao Mo (╥ω╥`)
