Chapter 737 Something bad happened
“Oh? That’s really strange. Don’t you always claim to be the best race in the galaxy?”
Soshiyang glanced at Vero Nika, of course he knew that this Eldar was being sarcastic. Their race seemed to live for sarcasm.
"It's as if you didn't claim that, and you still thought so even after the decline, didn't you."
"Huh, talk about yourselves, why do you involve us? , are you so unsure of your own race?”
Soshyan seemed to have heard this harsh question before. He shook his head and replied:
"The minds of mortals are too fragile. They cannot control this power. In the 36th millennium of the empire, , the High Lord High Vandire seized control of the empire. He ruled almost the entire empire as administrator and patriarch, and established a bloody dynasty. He believed that he could control the entire empire on his own, and he almost He did it, but"
"But what?"
"He went crazy, and the tremendous pressure turned him into a complete madman, leading to the worst crisis in the Empire since the Horus Heresy. A serious civil strife event, even after his death, the unbelief caused by it still spread for more than ten centuries. In the era of anarchy and apostasy, countless false prophets appeared in the vast territory of the empire. Some of them are just fanatics who want to lead the rebellion, and some are fanatical agitators who want to annex the entire world and its affiliated armies, or they are simply madmen."
Soshiyan looked at Veroni. Card's shining eyes.
"Do you know what Van Dill's last words were?"
"Huh?"
"I don't have time to die, I'm too busy."
"This"
Soshiyan shook his head.
"This is the limit of mortal minds. They are not ungrateful, nor ungrateful, but they have limits."
The Elf girl blinked.
"I have always been curious, why are you not the ruler of your race? You are obviously stronger, wiser, and calmer. Since mortals have limits, are you willing to be ruled by them?"
"There was once a person who thought so, his name was Horus."
"No, no, no, that's just one example. Don't you also have loyal Primarchs? I think you You’re not stupid enough to throw away all the advantages because of some disadvantages, right?”
"Well, not only the Primarchs are gone."
"That's not necessarily the case. I remember the Great Prophet said that you also had a period of time when you were ruled by the Primarchs, and the one who ruled you The Primarch is sleeping now."
"Are you talking about Lord Robert Guilliman? Indeed, he once served as regent of the Empire."
"Yes, he did. Isn’t it good?”
Soshiyang shook his head.
"But he was seriously injured and, like the Emperor, must rely on machines to survive."
"What if he wakes up?"
"There is no point in discussing such a low-probability event."
“It’s hard to say, but I’ll just say what if, if he wakes up, would he be considered the extraordinary and saintly ruler you call him? Will your empire end the rule of mortals?”
“But the root cause is not that.”
Soshyan sighed.
"Precisely because the Primarchs were not mortal, their concerns were different from those of mortals. Mortals had to eat, sleep, love, fear, and ultimately...die. Mortals could never understand what the Primarchs were born with. As immortal, their attitude towards the original body is either deep fear or fanatical worship, so the empire built by the Emperor and the Markbearer is an empire of mortals, not an empire of supermen and monsters, do you understand? Don't those with the Seal know that the Primarch is more powerful and wiser than mortals? Obviously not, but they don't regard the Primarch as a ruler."
Veronica nodded thoughtfully. head.
"I understand. It seems that you still have a wise side, but you still haven't answered my question. If your original body returns, will you accept him as a ruler to rule your empire? And you keep mentioning the palmer, you are very impressed with him."
"Stop wasting time, I have to find a way to recycle this thing."
Soshyan turned and looked at the huge machine.
"Is there any way you can take it away? I owe you a favor. In the future, you can make a personal request to me, and I will agree to it no matter what."
Veronica He wrinkled his nose and snorted.
“It’s as rare as anyone’s. And for such a big guy, do you think I’m that fat, blue-skinned creature? I can hold everything in one pocket, and I’m omnipotent.”
"What with blue skin?"
"The great prophet said that the ancient saints are like that."
"Uh-" Soshiyang looked at the machine, a little confused. It is unknown whether he can enter this kind of space again next time he went out. , he didn’t dare to gamble on such a precious thing.
Then, his eyes shifted to the slot on the side of the machine, where twenty-four circular metal pieces as big as his palm and about millimeters thick were inserted. I'm not a technical person, but I can probably guess that this is a memory chip.
“Even if the machine cannot be taken away, the template inside can be taken away.”
Soshyan looked around for a while and found the operation panel, but he couldn't understand any of the symbols on it.
"This red one is supposed to be activated?"
After hesitating for a while, he touched the most conspicuous button.
“What’s the sound?”
Veronica, who had been studying the floor symbols, suddenly raised her head and asked alertly.
Then he saw Soshyan standing there frozen.
Then she looked at the giant machine and found that the indicator light on one side suddenly turned on.
"Big guy, what did you do?"
"I uh, there was a red one, and I pressed it."
"You--you are so stupid. Don’t understand anything and click randomly!”
Just when Veronica was stamping her feet in anger, something unknown as smoke or water vapor rose from a cover near the floor, which meant that certain programs had been started.
Then there was a roar inside the machine, followed by another noise, a shuffling sound.
Veronica slowly turned her head. Behind the dark fence in the alcove, they were moving their metal limbs.
Just when the Elf girl looked towards them, those dark eyes also glowed at the same time, which was a deep green light.
For some reason, Veronica felt that this seemed to be the scariest color she had ever seen.
They wake up, they wake up with their Creator.
Just staring at them for a while, the Elf girl felt herself being oppressed and breathless, and her heart was pounding.
In the darkness, countless eyes emit green light.
Some structures have already moved forward, waving their arms and smashing hard at the fence that trapped them. The metal hands firmly grasped the iron rods of the fence, trying to uproot them. rise.
Accompanied by this, there is a low hum that is almost inaudible to the ears, which is a flow of approximately binary information.
These alien iron men groaned as they advanced.
"Help me."
The situation at hand was not good. Soshiyang could only lower his head and continue to study the damn alien console, trying to stop those things.
“Can you hold on for a while?”
“I knew being with you would be bad!”
Angrily kicking Soshyan's hard thigh, Veronica turned and walked towards the alien machines that were breaking the last restraint.
So far, she has raised her hands slightly, and her whole body is suspended half a meter above the ground.
Then, a flash of silver light flashed from her forehead, a large number of runes emerged from her robe, and stars surrounded her like a moon.
With a crisp sound, pieces of metal floorboards lifted up one after another, and with the sound of metal collisions, one after another slammed against the metal fence, blocking all the passages that the machinery could enter and exit within a few seconds.
But this did not stop the harsh metal scratching sound from getting louder and louder. Even in the violent impact of those machines, the floor made of unknown metal was knocked out of huge depressions.
"You'd better hurry up!"
In less than twenty seconds, Veronica was already sweating, obviously consuming a huge amount of her psychic energy.
But she was still trying hard to prevent those terrifying machines from entering the hall. She even peeled off the metal on the wall to block the way out of those things.
But Soshyan is also in a lot of trouble.
