When Kayon woke up from his long coma, he realized that he had been taken into a room and chained to the wall.
His vision was dark, but it was not because he was blindfolded.
This is the price -
He forcibly harnessed power beyond the limits of his body, so his nerves were severely damaged, and almost all senses were deprived of him, not just vision, but also smell, taste, touch, and the sixth sense of his soul.
.
Only the hearing function barely remains.
In other words, he is now a useless person. Not only has he lost the powerful sorcery power of the past, but he has also lost the superhuman senses of the Astartes, making him worse than a mortal.
This is the price -
As a wizard who has been in the subspace field for many years, he knows one truth - there is no power without paying a price.
In fact, before using that power, he had already made plans to die together.
It's just some accidents that gave him a wonderful turning point in his view of the world and his destiny, although he still can't figure out what this accident means...
Upon closer consideration, both Soshyan and the Astral Knight are filled with some indescribable sense of weirdness.
In such a dark confinement, Khayon was able to think carefully and speculate.
"Kayon?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Kayang's heart, and it was very familiar.
"Um?"
He shouldn't have heard any noise, but he heard Soshyan's voice. This was quite strange.
"Can you hear me? Nod if you can."
Kayon was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"They all say that you are blind and deaf now, but I still want to try. It seems that we are somewhat destined. Now I am standing in front of you."
Qianzi chuckled and laughed at himself in a hoarse voice.
"It's a great honor, but it's a pity that the house is so simple and I didn't prepare any refreshments for you."
"I'm not here to joke with you."
There was a hint of severity in the other party's tone, but Kayon continued his lazy attitude.
"Of course, it's not funny."
"The current situation, you should be very clear, you are already a prisoner, Iskandar Kayan, your survival depends on my mood."
"Well, indeed, although it's not the first time."
After that, there was another long silence, and Kayon even suspected that the man was gone.
But just when he was about to sleep for a while, Soshyan's voice sounded again.
"I want to hear about the Black Legion."
"Oh? Don't tell me, you are also dissatisfied with this decadent empire?"
"Shut up! Traitor! Just say whatever I tell you!"
Hearing the angry voice of the other party, Kayon sneered.
"So what does the Black Legion look like in your mind, or what do you know about the Black Legion?"
"A ragtag group of losers exiled or forced into exile by various renegade legions."
"Are you deceiving yourself and others? If you are just a mob, then what are you fighting against in the Twelve Black Crusades? To belittle your opponents is to belittle yourself."
"I'm just stating what I know."
"Well, let me tell you, in the history of the Human Empire, there was a specific period of records that were severely destroyed, and the details of the events during that period were also distorted by lies... It was a relatively peaceful and prosperous era, and it was at that time that
The wars of the Horus Heresy have subsided, and the iron fist of the Empire has swept away other threats in the galaxy and regained power... You can imagine that era. The Empire spanned the galaxy, united and powerful. It defeated its enemies and purged
The internal rebellion... Anyone who dares to have a dishonest belief in the "holy" Emperor will be sentenced to death. They will pay the price with their lives for their inappropriate remarks, and the alien creatures in the Empire will also be punished.
Capture and execute.”
Kayon took a deep breath with disgust.
"At that time, you had the power that you have lost now, but the real resistance has not yet begun! In fact, the crisis is still lingering, the greatest threats to the empire have never been eliminated, they are just forgotten... Yes, at that time
The empire has forgotten us, and for the first time in human history, "peace" has been achieved. After paying the heaviest price for victory, peace was finally established on the basis of ignorance and forgetfulness! From rebellion to the Great Purge to
It only took a few generations for all this to become a legend... The High Lords of Terra maintain their rule in the name of the 'ascended' Emperor - and believe that we will forever be on the run of shame, never to be seen again.
Can’t come back.”
"Indeed, in the history of the empire, there has never been any enemy threatening Terra since the Beast Wars."
"Ha! They made up stories to each other, describing how we were driven into hell and wandered there forever... Indeed, that terrifying subspace storm was just like a guillotine. It was just us who were rebellious in the empire.
Where to go! In the early days, the majestic Cadian Fortress World was nothing more than an uncontested outpost. There was no huge Imperial fleet cruising in the void, and the local people were not forced to sacrifice themselves to the grinding of the Imperial Guard.
Machines, trained as soldiers destined to die in battle...In fact, the Cadian people did not need to do anything at that time, it faced almost no threats, and the former empire was able to maintain the appearance of strength simply because of it
The real enemy no longer raises his butcher knife against the false emperor, do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because at that time we were too busy killing each other! The wars that filled the Eye of Terror put even the Horus Heresy to shame! Like you, we had completely forgotten the existence of the Imperium, although from time to time there would be battles that extended into the physical
Universe, that's because the Warp can no longer tolerate our stupidity."
Saying that, Kayon suddenly stopped.
"Ah, I forgot, I have to introduce myself first."
"No need."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It is necessary, because my name is Iskander Khayon, born in Prospero, a world destroyed by the Space Wolves, on Terra
In some areas, Iskander is also pronounced Sarkandr... My brothers call me Khayon the Black, because of the cruelty I have done to my blood relatives, and Abaddon sometimes calls me the Kingbreaker.

Abaddon sheds his blood together."
"It's such a 'distinguished' title. Any crime contained in it is enough to get you hanged ten thousand times."
"offense?"
Kayon's wizened laughter echoed in the cell.
"Soshiyang, do you know that in the distant past, when brothers were not fighting each other, just the word "God Emperor" was enough to make the noblest warrior suffer the lowest punishment."
Soshyan was speechless.
"But now, almost everyone believes that the Emperor is a god. I know why and how all this happened... This is just history repeating itself. The historians of every civilization will tell you this: the rise of religion only
Because the helpless majority are fearful, while those in authority need unchallengeable control. The rise of every religion has the same reason - the lower classes of society long for answers and comfort, and need rewards in the next life to balance the hardships of this life.
and danger; to prevent people from rising up for a better life, rulers created a series of creeds to keep most people obedient and docile."
Kayan moved his body forward, as if he wanted to get closer to Soshyan, but his legs did not obey his orders.
"Obedience, obedience, submission...these have become virtues, and those who are suppressed must pursue great virtue and good, or rewards in the afterlife. The act of trying to resist this mainstream belief is no longer a philosophical dissent, but a sentence
Being a heretic is enough to be sentenced as a heretic, and because of this, the control of the weak by the strong can continue."
"We still believe in the power of the Emperor."
"Everything has an end, Soshiyang, even thoughts, or gods - especially false gods... The so-called emperor is the memory of a person who proclaimed himself emperor, and the place where this person ascended the throne
But it is a broken engine made of false hope! The Golden Throne is declining, and no one knows this better than those of us who are committed to the Eye of Terror. Then you can see the Star Torch extinguished with your own eyes and hear the Emperor's death with your own ears.
