Chapter 2236 The Best of Men
Seeing that Suoshiyang didn't speak, Li stopped forcing him and stood up without saying anything more.
"That's the end of today's conversation. I already know your position roughly. You can go to Terra with peace of mind. I will get the things on Saturn for you."
"Wait, Li——"
Soshiyang suddenly stopped the other party.
"You asked the Imperial Fists to allow me to enter, right? What is your relationship with the Imperial Fists and Dorne?"
Li stopped and then turned around.
“Before Dorn left, he found me and asked me to help look after his heirs, so I became the Wall Watcher of the Imperial Fists. However, the strength of the remnants of the Orc Empire in Ullanor was greatly exceeded. To my surprise, the Imperial Fists were unexpectedly wiped out when I went out to investigate the remnants of the Ork Empire in Ullanor. Fortunately, after many efforts, the greenskins were wiped out. After that, I have been using Judgment However, none of the warriors of the Imperial Fists knew about it. Only the Chapter Masters of the past generations knew of my existence. They regarded me as the only hope to find the original body, and believed that one day the original body would be reunited through me. Contact them."
"Just because of this?"
There was a hint of doubt in Soshiyang's tone.
"You know about the Eleventh Army and the Second Army, right?"
The other party nodded.
“It’s not just that, I also have to ensure that the descendants of the Eleventh Legion and the Second Legion in the Imperial Fist successfully separate from the Legion, can survive the turmoil of the separation period, and ensure that they do not It is not easy to discover the secret of my bloodline in advance, but fortunately, I am not alone because of the plan arranged by Malcador."
"Do they know your existence? ”
“Maybe I don’t know, maybe I know, but it’s not important.”
"Why?"
Li shrugged.
"Probably because I am weak and have no value or significance in their eyes, so naturally they will not pay attention to me. After all, who would pay attention to a mortal who looks weak and about to die?"
< br>"Your body."
Hearing Soshiyang's question, Li raised his hand, opened his palm, stared at the dark yellow bandage that looked very old, and replied calmly:< br>
"I'm just a mortal, I can't bear such a long time, and I was seriously injured in the battle with the rebels... This was given to me by my mother. It was originally the shroud of a powerful Witch King. The Witch King After death, the body was buried under the huge pyramid, but at some time in ancient times, a powerful demon possessed its incorruptible body and came to the world. Later, the demon was defeated by the mother and father. It turned into yellow sand but the shroud remained. With the help of its power, I can continue to walk in the world."
"I don't understand, since your genes come from Erda and the Emperor like the original body, why... there is such a big difference. "
"Because the original body does not only possess the genes of the mother and father, but also has a power that I cannot explain, and I am just an experiment for my father's first attempt at the original body engineering. My mother once said that my father’s hope for me is to be the ultimate form of human beings, the most perfect and powerful human being, to achieve my father’s ultimate ideal of being the best among human beings. Unfortunately... I did not inherit any of my mother’s powers, let alone my father’s. , If it weren’t for mother, I might have disappeared long ago.”
“Li, you keep emphasizing. Mother, aren’t you loyal to the emperor?”
Li looked at Soshi Yang. For some reason, Soshyan seemed to be able to feel his helplessness through the bandage.
Then his emotionless voice sounded.
“In the eyes of my father, I am just a failure. I don’t have the eternal life of my brothers, their powerful strength, their lightning-fast thinking, or their ability to command thousands of troops at will. , I am a child who can never meet the requirements of my father. I have no way to help his great career. The only thing I am good at may be painting. I am just a mediocre mortal, and I can only be an abandoned son. I only have my mother. Treat me as her son, then I will naturally serve her."
Suddenly, Soshiyang's heart became heavy.
He inexplicably began to sympathize with this "pseudo-primarch". Everyone regarded the primarch as the Emperor's children. They were irreplaceable and eternal, so everything should make way for them. This is not only because of their bloodline, but also because of their strength.
Then a thought suddenly came to his mind, is it true that no matter how many enemies he destroys and no matter how many achievements he makes, in the eyes of many people, he is still far less important than a single original body?
It seems that from the perspective of "value", he seems to be just like Li, a child who will always be "unqualified". No matter what the name Soshyan represents, it can never be comparable to the name Xerxes.
< br>After a long silence, Soshiyang asked softly:
"Li, do you hate your father?" Li chuckled lightly, and then sighed.
“What is there to hate?”
"We are all his children, but you haven't received the treatment you deserve from the original bodies."
Li tilted his head, and then calmly replied:
"Probably because I can Accept my own ordinaryness, I can accept the fact that I am just an ordinary person, and after all, my parents at least gave me a physique similar to that of a Space Marine, so it’s not too bad.”
Sosh. Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Li, you have a really good attitude. If every primarch could be like you. Alas, forget it, this assumption makes no sense."
"After all, the environment that my brothers are in is different from mine. How can I say it? In fact, I am lucky because my mother is always by my side, but my brothers are not."
"What about Xerxes? What kind of person do you think he is?"
"He and I"
Li paused, seeming to be recalling something, and then said with a slight sigh:
"I I have actually only met him twice, but he is also the second brother I have met besides Dorne. He is a person who knows how to take into account other feelings. You are very similar in this regard, but he He always carries a heavy responsibility, maybe because he knows too much. Speaking of which, there is a secret about the Xerxes brothers that you should know.”
"What?"
"He is his mother's child."
Soshiyang was stunned.
“I know that, he is the original body.”
“No, that’s not what I mean.”
Li shook his head, and then uttered words that made Soshyan stunned.
"He is a child naturally conceived by mother and father, not a product of genetic engineering. He is truly...the best of humans."
"What!"
Soul Shi Yang stood up suddenly.
“No need to be so excited.”
Li waved his hand.
“This matter is not that difficult to understand. My father has never put his eggs in one basket. As early as when he proposed the original gene project, he had imagined that he wanted to naturally conceive a child. Only in this way can we compare the differences between the two. However, this is more difficult than genetic engineering. My father and mother have already transcended the normal biological categories. Natural reproduction is almost impossible for them. However, it seems that as early as my birth Before, my father finally found a way, and my mother was pregnant with the Xerxes brothers probably fifty years before the primarch project started."
"That is to say"
"Ah, The Xerxes brothers are our real eldest brothers.”
Soshyan shook twice and held on to the wall. The impact of this news on him was too strong. After all, he was born through genetic engineering. It seems that the emperor regarded children as tools and weapons, but if they were his children in the true sense
".The Emperor killed his eldest son, his true son!"
