Chapter 238, Can I ascend to become a god?
Gu Hang was really tired when he landed.
The original angry owl's efforts to escape back to his own country and escape from the interlayer of the reality curtain were blocked by him. During the evil god's final madness, Gu Hang bore tremendous pressure.
It would have been impossible for him to withstand it before the upgrade.
In fact, even if it is upgraded, it cannot hold up.
He was able to hold on for two main reasons: the original angry owl was weakened by more than one level because he was in the mezzanine of the reality curtain; and Gu Hang, as a psyker, entered the real world and was closer to the source of power, able to The psychic power used has increased by more than one level.
The one and the other gave Gu Hang the opportunity to kill the gods in a mortal body, allowing him to achieve such great deeds.
But no matter what, killing the gods is a reality. After that, he should ascend to godhood!
The original angry owl is dead, but the part of the 'real essence' it represents is right in front of Gu Hang, trapped in the cracks of the curtain of reality by his spiritual power.
Next, he can grab this mass of 'real world essence' in his hand, devour, digest, and fuse it.
From then on, he was able to take his place and become the new 'God of Storms'.
Ordinary mortals, of course, don't have this opportunity. But Gu Hang is different. The real world has opened its arms to him and accepted his existence.
If he wants it, he can.
A golden avenue was placed in front of him. As long as he takes a few steps forward, he will get rid of his mortal body and become an immortal and immortal god.
This is a road like an emperor. He already has a chance to start. As long as he takes a few more steps...
……
The evil god fell down and his body gradually dissipated.
The soldiers saw this scene from a distance.
Everyone cheered!
To be honest, who wouldn’t feel terrified when they see a monster as big as a mountain, which once only existed in religious mythology, become an enemy?
They were not even sure whether the weapons in their hands and the terrifyingly powerful artillery fire could harm the gods.
It was only now, when they saw its huge body falling, that they completely lost their doubts and were convinced that they had won.
Naturally, the soldiers' eyes will turn to their commander-in-chief, their leader, the Governor-General whom they admire.
Long live the Governor! Governor...eh? Where is the governor?
There was some commotion in the crowd.
What is even more worrying are the Space Marines and Battle Sisters.
Especially the latter.
They were not ordinary mortal soldiers. They saw the scene when the Governor fell from mid-air after the war between gods.
The Phoenixes may still be a little slow, but the Holy Mercy Lily, who are more sensitive to similar situations, immediately realized that this was a very bad sign.
Gerrit revealed to Martins a possibility that frightened the latter.
"You mean, the Governor may be overcome by the whisper of the abyss, have his mind changed, or even be enslaved by evil thoughts? This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
Martins retorted fiercely.
Garrett quickly opened her mouth and comforted her: "This is not necessarily the case, I'm just saying that it is possible. We may be in the abyss of hell now, and the erosion of the human will by the abyss of hell is very terrible, especially for the soul. A capable person. Governor Gu spent a lot of energy in the battle just now. He is in the most vulnerable state now. We must go and see how he is doing."
"What are you going to do next?"
Garrett couldn't see the expression of the Chapter Leader inside the helmet, but she could hear the alienation and vigilance hidden behind this question.
At this moment, she suddenly realized something: I don't know when the Phoenix began to call the Governor of the Raging Owl Star, instead of calling them "Sir Governor" like the Holy Mercy Lily. , the title is 'Governor Gu' or 'Your Excellency the Governor'.
This change is somewhat subtle.
She had noticed it before and made some associations.
But at this moment, after hearing Martins' question, her association was further deepened.
However, now is not the time to explore those things. She never wanted to fight side by side just now, and then immediately fall out and start a conflict.
She quickly spoke to comfort: "My sisters and I can provide help to Governor Gu. By chanting hymns to pray to the God Emperor, we can protect the Governor's soul from the darkness; if the Governor is really violated, , we can expel evil spirits and evil thoughts..."
At this point, Gerrit paused and continued: "But no matter what, we must find the fallen Governor as soon as possible. If we are late, the probability of something we don't want to see happening will increase. ”
Martins' attitude relaxed: "Well, no matter what, we really should find the Governor as soon as possible."
After reaching an agreement, they took action.
It was not difficult to find the Governor. They still remembered where the Governor was when he was floating in the sky.
The Governor falls straight down, so you can probably just look for it in that area.
However, they were not the first to find it.
When they saw the Governor from a distance with his eyes closed and sitting cross-legged, there was already a circle of people around him.
Apparently, they were not the only ones looking for the Governor. The loyal soldiers of the alliance also spontaneously searched for him after realizing that the Governor had fallen. Some ordinary soldiers who were closer discovered the governor's figure.
They may not understand that much, but seeing the Governor's appearance, they can probably guess that the Governor's current condition may not be very good.
As a result, the loyal soldiers spontaneously protected the governor. There was an open space of about fifty meters around the governor, and no one was allowed to get close, including themselves.
When the Sisters of Phoenix and Holy Mercy Lily arrived, the soldiers on the outermost perimeter were still hesitant, but then a political officer stood up.
He seemed to be an instructor of a company-level unit, with the rank of lieutenant, not a high-ranking official.
It was obvious that he was a little nervous when he stood in front of the Phoenix and the Battle Sisters.
However, he still bravely did it.
"Please stop, Lord Governor..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gerrit's voice came out of the helmet: "Get out of the way!"
She didn't even stop before she was about to pass this mortal soldier.
She was anxious.
She could already feel the uncontrollable evil energy surrounding the governor.
This proved that her previous guess had indeed come true.
The abyss of hell is really not a place where humans should come. Even a powerful psyker like Governor Gu will still be eroded by the all-pervasive will of the abyss when his spiritual energy is exhausted and he is weak and exhausted.
She had to go there as soon as possible and use the protection of the Sisters' faith to help Governor Gu expel the evil forces.
And if things really come to worst...she will make a decision.
It would be terrible for a person who is corrupted by evil thoughts to serve as the governor of a planet.
But this governor has always been supportive of the Sisters' anti-cult actions on the planet. When he heard his request to deal with the cult elements as soon as possible, he agreed and within a few days, launched the entire political system. With organizational skills, she launched the operation according to her plan. In the end, he even came in person to solve the final problem as a powerful psyker. Without this governor, they would never have been able to defeat the evil god.
Gerrit understood this deeply.
Because of this, she was extremely conflicted inside.
But no matter what, she had to go to the Governor first.
She was so full of these things that she didn't even notice that the instructor was still standing in front of her.
In other words, it’s not that I didn’t notice, but that I didn’t care.
She just pushed the mortal man away with a casual flick.
The instructor, who was pushed aside by a huge force, staggered to the side. After he stood firm, he directly pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the nun.
This action aroused the alertness of the battle sisters behind Gritte. They all took out their weapons and aimed at this bold mortal.
But immediately after, the soldiers surrounding the governor also raised their weapons.
People who are far away don’t know what is happening in front of them. But they could see that the instructor was pushed away and pointed at gunpoint, and that the group of nuns seemed to be breaking into their encirclement.
In an instant, there was hostility between the two sides.
The lieutenant instructor did not fire recklessly. He loudly said to Gritte: "Your Excellency, Sister Sister! The warriors of our alliance all respect you and your sisters very much, and are very grateful for the help you provide to the Raging Owl Star. However, please do not go any further. Come on, the Governor is ill, and we will not let anyone harm him. If you insist on this, please step over our bodies!"
With that said, he turned on the pistol's safety.
Gerrit turned around, took off her helmet, and looked at the lieutenant instructor.
There was no hint of flinching in the mortal's eyes.
The nun sighed, realizing she had made a mistake.
Maybe elsewhere, ignoring the opinions of mere mortals is no big deal.
But here, no.
She changed her attitude and said: "We are here to help the Governor. As you can see, the Governor is not in the right state, and we are here to help him."
As she spoke, she raised her left hand.
From her hand, a ball of light rose.
She said softly: "Did you see it? This is a blessing from the emperor, which can protect mankind from the invasion of evil spirits. The Governor is facing this problem now, and he needs our help very much. So, let us go over, okay?" ”
Facts have proved that the battle sisters who claim to be the 'Emperor's Daughters' can still talk well.
Her softened attitude and the help she said made the resolute lieutenant instructor tangled.
He looked at the light in the Sister's hand and his mind wavered.
If there is a threat to the Governor, it goes without saying that the only option is to fight to the death.
But they said they were here to help, and the Governor-General seems to need some professional help now. But if these nuns are allowed to pass, what if they are not good for the Governor?
Seeing the hesitation of this mortal officer, Gerrit decided to add another fire.
She looked at Martins next to her for help.
The Phoenix Chapter Leader also hesitated.
He knew more, but he was even less able to believe in Gerrit.
Battle Sisters... Although the Sisters of the Holy Mercy Lily are not the kind of nuns affiliated with the Inquisition, nor are they the kind that have a bloodier and darker reputation and are dedicated to hunting down heretics and illegal psykers, after all, they are still She is a battle nun, belonging to the imperial state religion, not a member of the Raging Owl Alliance.
If something goes wrong with the Governor, who can guarantee that these nuns won't go crazy?
At close range, it was difficult to protect the Governor.
In fact, how to choose now is essentially making another choice: if something goes wrong with the Governor, how should the Phoenix deal with it?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Pastor Rizzo next to him.
Rizzo just smiled at him, not offering any advice.
Martins took a deep breath and made a decision.
"Your Excellency, Mother Superior." His buzzing voice came from the helmet, "Ask your battle sisters to lay down their weapons and obey this officer's request. If the Governor needs your help, he will speak. If he If you haven’t spoken yet, let us wait quietly. I fully believe that the Governor can solve the problem by himself.”
"Martins! You know what the current situation means! How can you be so irresponsible?! You are a warrior of the Emperor!"
"Of course I am, as are all the Phoenixes." Martins said, "So, if the Phoenixes are loyal to the Emperor's representative on the Raging Owl Star and to Governor Gu Hang, what's the problem?"
< br>
Gerrit looked very disappointed.
She knew that after Martins also expressed his attitude, no matter what she wanted to do today, she would not be able to do it.
She and her sisters might be able to ignore these mortal soldiers and force their way in.
But with twelve Space Marines present, that's another story.
Thirty of them were no match for twelve superhuman warriors.
Not to mention, there are thousands of troops of the governor here.
Her expression became cold, she put her helmet back on, and said: "I understand, we will wait on the outside. Let's see together how things will change."
"That's exactly what it should be." Martins said.
……
Gu Hang generally knew what was happening outside.
But there was no time to care.
The head nun's guess was correct.
Gu Hang's spiritual energy was almost exhausted in the battle just now, the confrontation with the evil god, and all the passive protective effects were almost reduced to the minimum. Because of this, the mental intrusion that comes from the real world and the abyss of hell finally bypasses the defenses and reveals its most harmful aspects to psykers.
Psychic interference, mental temptation, will tampering, personality changes...
Even [Iron Will] didn't have any effect.
The iron will is to resist and filter out the mental harm that is harmful to the subject. It actually exerted its effect faithfully. The changes in Gu Hang's mind caused by those extraordinary powers were blocked by this ability.
However, what is happening in his soul right now is not necessarily considered harmful.
Two different paths were clearly laid out in front of Gu Hang.
The iron will can resist harmful psychic interference, but of course it is impossible to make certain decisions for Gu Hang.
It went quiet.
It also seemed to be waiting for Gu Hang to make a choice.
Is it to stick to being a human being?
Or... using the body of this slain evil god to ascend to 'god'?
