Chapter 1279 Ascension to the Gods
After reading the whole story, Kayon took a deep breath. This matter was more complicated than he expected.
"What is that golden statue? Is it worth doing this?"
Amnak stared at him and whispered:
"I told you that you would let go Pass me?”
"No."
"You are still so direct."
"To be honest, Amnak, even if I let you go, do you think you can escape? If I didn't guess Wrong, the target of those Slaanesh demons is not the hulk at all, but you. Your master has discovered that you are still alive. It used its supreme power to tear apart a subspace node inside the hulk and sent its killers to find it. You.”
The demon froze in place, not knowing whether he was thinking or because of fear.
"To be honest, if you can show some of your own value, then I still have a way to keep you temporarily, and you can choose not to believe it."
Amnak didn't think for too long, and then whispered:
"It's hard for me to explain clearly, that existence. You should have heard its name, McPhetlan, I exchanged a secret with it A way for me to live forever in the physical world."
"The Deceiver McPhetlan? Isn't it still in fragments?"
Kayon frowned. brow.
“What exactly?”
Amnak didn't answer, just stared at Khayon.
Then, Qianzi nodded in realization.
"Indeed, after you have said so much, I should also express something. Then I tell you bluntly, I can't save you. If you don't want to be captured by your master, only one person can Help you."
"Who?"
"The person in front of you."
"The Cursed Child?"
"He is not the Cursed Child as you say. The situation is more complicated, but the only thing you need to know is that if you want to continue to exist, only he can help you."
Amnak moved hesitantly, then shook his head.
"Kayon, how do I know you are not deceiving me."
"It's not necessary, because if I don't speak, then you don't have to wait to be caught by Slaanesh, he can Destroy you.”
The betrayed Great Demon of Slaanesh looked at Khayon, and after a long silence, he hissed:
"Okay, I believe you, then what else do you want to know."
"You and Fraud What did the master trade?"
"One way to become a god is not to be a god in the subspace, because I know that the master will eventually discover everything I have done, and it will not let me go, so I must become the god of the physical world, so that I will be completely free from the constraints of my master.”
It turns out that the final step of Amnak’s plan is to have all his followers perform a large-scale suicide ritual. At that time, their disembodied souls will flow into each statue, and Amnak will use this to become some kind of immortal entity, in other words, a monkey version of the Star God.
But even the monkey version is enough to free him from the control of his former master forever. This is the Amnak Ascension Plan.
“This”
After listening to this, Kayon vaguely seemed to have caught something.
"It feels a bit familiar"
Thinking, he looked at Amnak.
"Those statues are not pure gold, are they?"
"Well, they all contain trace amounts of metal measured in grams that were stripped off the original statues."
"What are the original statues? Made up of? "
"The fraudster told me that what is sealed in the statue is a fragment of a star god called Ogdriada."
"Fragments of a star god?"
Kayon blinked, realizing where this feeling of familiarity came from, and at the same time, it also made some terrible conjecture arise in his mind. "How does it work?"
"The Star God feeds on life energy. This energy includes souls and even subspace creations. As long as there is enough energy, even if it is left Even a small fragment can slowly repair itself. But on the other hand, the Star God's consciousness is not born innately, but continuously develops from primitive instincts during the acquired formation process. Once the body is broken, the fragments are attached to The will will be greatly weakened. At this time, as long as you find a way to erase the imprint of consciousness on the fragments, then the fragments it proliferates will also be unconscious blanks, and you can transfer your own consciousness into them. The whole process is actually equivalent to simulation. The process of a star god’s rapid growth.”
As he spoke, Amnak suddenly changed the subject.
“But during the execution process, I discovered that there are many risks and flaws. In particular, the consciousness of the Star God is actually stronger than imagined. The consciousness in the fragments cannot be completely erased. In this way During the fusion, there will be the possibility of mutual erosion and overlap of consciousness. Just like the me now, there is a clear difference between the me now and the me in the past. I am very clear about this. Even if the final step is achieved, I am still not me after all. In fact, I am a person. It’s unknown, but I have no way out. No matter how great the risk is, I can only take a chance, and before sublimation, I must disperse my self-awareness, which also makes my strength very weak before the last moment.”
"First disperse and then gather."
Kayon thought for a while and suddenly said something.
"Can you use the power of the Star God before this?"
Amnak shook his head.
“No, I can only store my consciousness in it.”
"It seems there has been a slight improvement."
Kayon muttered to himself and asked again.
“What is the secret you traded with the fraudster? It’s not easy to get such technology in exchange, right?”
“It doesn’t matter now, that’s why I’m attacking Terra What I accidentally discovered while visiting the palace was the powerful wizard named Malcador in the Human Empire. He did not really die, but somehow escaped the eyes of the gods. In fact, this secret was not provided by me on my own initiative; The fraudster chose it himself."
Kayon was silent for a moment.
He stood motionless with his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was thinking.
But since the conscious world has no concept of time, it cannot be estimated how long he has stayed like this.
Finally, with a long breath, Khayon raised his head.
"You will do as I say later, but you must promise me that you will never tell Soshyan about this matter, and the same thing about you and the fraudster."
"Child of the Curse! Embrace your own death!"
In the dark hall filled with the sound of gunfire, a nest master with a big devil's head sprouted, roaring and pounced on him again.
Soshiyang held the sword in both hands, ready to meet the opponent without fear.
At this time, Kayon's voice sounded in his ears again.
"Don't use gray marrow. Remember to take off the statue around its neck later. Move quickly and don't let people around you see it."
After Kayon finished speaking, the nest master He had already pounced on him, but his movements were surprisingly clumsy.
It was as if the head was deliberately brought up.
Although Suoshiyang was confused, his movements were not slow at all. He raised his hand and dropped his sword, instantly decapitating the demon. Then before the opponent's body fell, he reached out and grabbed the statue and violently Pull off the ground.
The moment the statue was pulled off, it turned into a golden ring and was put on Soshyan's left thumb. The whole process was so fast that no one noticed it.
As the hive master's body fell to the ground and died, all its corrupted offspring seemed to have lost their power. They either trembled on the spot or fled in panic, and were quickly cleaned up by the Space Marines.
However, Soshyan did not relax his vigilance, still clutching the sword, and cast his gaze on the twisted statue.
Underneath the statue are five huge metal boxes, each about the size of an adult.
This is the "treasure" mentioned by the devil before.
"Mark, take these away immediately!"
As soon as Soshiyang gave the order, there was a loud bang, and several holes were blown open in the dome of the hall. The figure in yellow armor jumped from a high place with a jetpack and headed straight for the iron boxes.
