Chapter 177 Destiny
Kelbor Hal.
The future General Mars Forge of the Mechanicus. General Mars Forge is the theoretical leader of the Mechanicus, but in fact he does not have the power to manage the entire Mechanicus because the power of the Mechanicus is quite scattered. .
In the further future, during the Horus Heresy, Kelborhar was the leader of the Mechanicus rebel faction. Through a civil war, he almost completely controlled Mars, a planet in the solar system very close to Terra. planet.
The terrifying productivity, technology, and war machines of Mars...are at the mercy of Kael Bohar, whether in the near future or in the later stages of the Horus Heresy.
When he learned that the mentor of Quadrant was actually Kelbohar, Qin Xia was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.
“It has been almost two centuries since the Emperor came to Mars and signed a cooperation treaty called the Olympian Accords.”
“When I left, my mentor was competing for the Forge General. A lot of effort has been put into the position, and he has the potential to succeed as a forging general."
"In my calculations, the probability of the mentor becoming a forging general is ninety-nine percent."
Quadrant. added.
Qin Xia thought: It's 100%.
The probability of Kelbohar becoming the Forge General is 100%.
The probability of becoming the rebel leader of Mars is of course 100%.
This makes no difference.
"What do you think of your mentor." Qin Xia asked, "Enemy? Master?"
Quadrant was asked this question and fell into silence and contemplation.
The mechanical body is still clinging to the top of the elevator, motionless. Even the low hum of the servo joints is much quieter, because most of the power is transferred to the thinking center.
Although the body in Quadrant has no biological tissue at all, the silence of his body can still make others see that he is deep in thought.
After pondering, Quadrant replied: "I hate it, but I can't regard it as an enemy. It does force me to give up most of the things I value, but it is found in countless artificially cultivated children. I was selected for my talent.”
“The children on Mars are artificially cultivated, not clones, but artificial means are used to mass-produce children for efficiency.”
"If I had not been chosen by the Guru, I would have been an unknown chanter of Om Messiah, an ordinary handyman. I would not even have the resources to create this body and retain as much of my humanity as possible."
Quangrant’s answer did not surprise Qin Xia.
Kyle Bohar is Quadrant’s Bole, and may even be regarded as his father by Quadrant. No matter how cruel Kyle Bohar treats Quadrant, people like Quadrant who value human nature cannot completely hate Kyle Bohar. you.
Quadrant’s computing device believes that there is no interrogation or other factors in the current conversation situation, so it also answers honestly.
Like all conversations in this elevator room, they are confessions.
"If you ask me, in the future when you are good, you should go back to Mars and fuck that bastard named Kyle Bohar."
Brown interjected.
Quadrant lowered his head and fell into deep thought again.
Brown continued: "If a natural man is completely mechanized, what is the difference between a natural man and a handyman like an iron man? Stone men and iron men were created to prevent natural men from being forced by the environment to transform themselves into Mechanical."
"The human race should rise, even if it occasionally falls into the trough, it will rise sooner or later."
"But if you transform yourself into a machine, you will really live longer and go back to life."
"..."
Ding.
The elevator reaches the first floor.
“How come I didn’t feel this thing was so slow when I took the elevator upstairs?”
"Finally we're on the first floor."
Brown complained, following sisters Qin Xia and Oulina out of the elevator.
Quadrant came down from the top of the elevator, walked out of the elevator holding the silver vine that had turned into a cylindrical shape, then let go of the silver vine and let it float aside.
“The confession round is over.” Qin Xia looked around, “We need to wait before Theseus and the others find out what other knowledge and relics there are in this world, and the battle here is not difficult, so we don’t need to participate. "It's time to go."
As he said that, Qin Xia took the lead in walking out of the guild building.
The drones that were previously responsible for guarding the entrances and exits were now reduced to fragments scattered on the ground.
Eleven Space Marines stood beside the transport plane and among the debris of the drone, watching the surroundings.
"Centurion Kahn." Qin Xia said hello and passed by Kahn, boarding the transport plane he came on.
When Qin Xia opened his psychic vision in the building before, he saw Kahn and the ten soldiers who always followed Kahn fighting in the building.
But Kahn was clearing out all the security personnel in the building starting from the second floor.
"Everything goes well." Kahn glanced around and fixed his gaze on Qin Xia, who had just sat down in the cabin. "Everything is going well in the city. The battle at Chiaval's fortress and military camp will only go smoother."
< br>"Well, the Twelve Legions are very strong." Qin Xia just nodded.
Kahn was a little embarrassed, but in the end he had no choice but to nod.
The captain of the 8th Assault Company wanted to get close to the leader of the Primarch.
Because anyone with eyes can see how close the genetic father is to his adoptive father and gladiator brothers and sisters.
Those gladiators were not easy to contact, not because they were xenophobic, but because they could not get any useful information from them.
But the leader of the original body is different. From Qin Xia, there is a high probability that he can get more information about the original body, information that has not been revealed by the original body.
Most of the Space Marines of the Twelve Legions always want to be closer to the Gene Father - on a spiritual level.
This is why Kahn took the initiative to help guard the transport plane and talk to him.
But looking at Qin Xia's appearance... she had no intention of cooperating, so she had no choice but to give up.
A Space Marine walked up to the transport plane and waved his hand upwards, signaling to the pilot that the airspace was safe for takeoff.
Then the transport plane engine was turned on, and the cabin door began to slowly close due to the abnormal gravity caused by the anti-gravity engine.
"Kahn."
The moment the cabin door was about to close, Qin Xia suddenly called out to Kahn, and then threw a book out through the gap.
Kahn caught it quickly, looking at the completely closed cabin door with his eyes under the helmet, a look of confusion on his face.
The transport plane takes off.
The soldier who accompanied Kahn in the battle approached his company commander and stared at the book in the company commander's hand. "Lord of Nuceria?"
Kahn read the name on the cover of the book.
……
"So, the Space Marines have more than a blood connection with the Primarch?"
"The Space Marines really seem to treat Angron like filial sons."
In the cabin .
Brown seemed to be talking to himself, saying something that was so obvious that no one would respond.
Sisters Qin Xia and Oulina sat opposite each other.
Ouliya glanced at Qin Xia first. Qin Xia looked at her and smiled. She turned her eyes very slightly towards Oulina, indicating that this was not a suitable place for Ouliya to discuss matters that could only be discussed in private.
Oulina stared at the floor, recalling what Qin Xia said in the elevator just now, but she and her sister completely shared their senses, so of course she sensed Qin Xia's eye movements.
The quadrant has nothing to do with Brown's stand-up comedy and Qin Xia's meaningless glances.
The apprentice of the future Mars Forge General gently controlled the silver vine, causing it to slowly fall on the cabin floor, and gently "spit" out the girl inside.
The Nuovian anti-gravity technology used in the transport aircraft is extremely advanced. The aircraft body has no bumps during flight and is as smooth as on the ground.
But Quadrant still used its appendages to stabilize the girl's body to prevent her from waking up from shaking.
"Her psychic talent is almost non-existent." Qin Xia looked at Quadrant, "You don't have to be so careful, she can't suddenly wake up and blow us up."
"She Her biological signs showed she was sleeping," Quadrant said.
Qin Xia raised her eyebrows and moved her gaze to the girl.
This girl named Ellie has some obvious characteristics, such as hair color.
Qin Xia felt familiar when she heard the name Aili. Now after observing carefully in a quiet environment, she suddenly recalled that this girl was the leader of the resistance army in Corax's personal biography.
The leader of the rebels who still resisted after the success of the rebels led by Corax.
As for the reason, Qin Xia had already revealed it to Angron before.
The fate of the planet Kyaval was to be renamed the Salvation Planet and then handed over to the care of the Adeptus Mechanicus by the Emperor.
After that, everything on the Savior was almost as usual, except that there was an additional Mechanicum on top of the guild.
Should people who immigrate to the planet from the Savior satellite be discriminated against or be discriminated against?
One of Ellie's followers will then attack the guild and Mechanicus personnel with bombs.
"Why is everything on Savior Star as usual? Is it possible that Corax is just hypocritically carrying out the cause of resistance? This can't be true?"
Qin Xia recalled that before she came to Chiaval, Angron asked himself this when revealing the future of the Savior to Angron.
“No, of course not, he is not hypocritical, he really cares about the oppressed.”
"He doesn't have the ability to empathize like you, but he was raised by miners. When he led the Legion on the Great Expedition, his sister accompanied him and was valued by him, but the lifespan of a mortal is always limited."
Qin Xia answered Angron like this at that time.
"Corax trusted the Emperor too much."
"Corax did not ask the Emperor for the power to govern his home system like you did."
"Furthermore, the Lycaeus satellite is Corax's home planet, and that place must be hundreds of times better than the planet."
Angron nodded at the answer, then wondered why Corax trusted the Emperor so much.
Qin Xia did not answer. He thought that once the emperor's charming and perfect image was revealed, Angron would probably have a good impression of him if he hadn't seen the Nurians kneeling to him.
"Maybe in the emperor's eyes, everyone is someone he wants to save, even heinous people." Angron said suddenly.
Qin Xia thinks it is possible.
After all, Angron once said that he sensed the Emperor's thoughts, and that the Emperor wanted to save all humans.
Just like the beastmen, Ogryns, and a lot of demi-humans who don't look like humans at all, but are just related to humans, they were not killed by the emperor and were given legal status.
Emperors of races that have anything to do with humans are willing to protect them. Those heinous people at least have skulls that are more human-like than humans.
This is the memory.
Qin Xia looked at Ellie, her eyes glowing with white fluorescence.
That was a sign of his use of psychic powers.
Ai Li's soul appeared in Qin Xia's vision.
That is the soul of a tenacious psyker, but her soul projection is very dim, just a little brighter than the soul projection of ordinary humans.
This means that Ellie's psychic talent is equivalent to none.
Such a psyker does not even qualify as an Omicron class, which is the weakest level in the empire's hierarchy of psykers.
There is no need to judge whether Ellie, a psyker, is stable.
The most this woman can do is to see blue fire when passing the cemetery in the middle of the night, to be able to have lucid dreams while sleeping, and to do whatever she wants in her dreams, that's all.
Qin Xia's eyes gradually dissipated the spiritual light, looking out the window.
The transport plane has flown to low-Earth orbit. At this altitude, Qin Xia can see traces of the battle on the ground with the naked eye. Those traces turned into sparse flashes of light, which means that the battle on the ground is almost over. it's over.
The Guild is a formidable opponent, indeed for a Primarch who has not taken over the Legion.
But facing a Space Marine Legion, this world will only be like all the conquered worlds in the Great Crusade. They were conquered quietly, and their names appeared in a large pile of documents from the top of the Empire. Inconspicuous within one line.
Probably because this is the planet next to where Corax landed, it's listed on its own page.
"The fate of this girl, the fate of the Savior and the satellite Lycaeus, the fate of everyone on the two celestial bodies..."
"It will all be caused by Angron and Corax Different trajectories appear due to the meeting."
Qin Xia said to himself.
