When Kayan woke up from his long coma, he realized that he had been taken into a room and locked it on the wall with iron chains.
His eyes were pitch black, but not because he was blindfolded.
This is the price—
He forced his forces beyond the limits of the body, so his nerves were severely damaged, and almost all perceptions were deprived, not only vision, but also smell, taste, touch, and the sixth sense of his soul.
Only hearing still has a little function left.
In other words, he has now become a useless man, not only has he lost the powerful witchcraft power of the past, but even the superhuman senses of Astart, which is worse than a mortal.
This is the price—
As a wizard, who has been living in the subspace field for many years, he knows a truth - no power does not require a price to pay.
In fact, before using that power, he had already made plans to burn both jade and stone.
It was just that some accidents made him have a wonderful turning point in the world and destiny, although he could not understand what this accident actually symbolized...
After thinking about it carefully, whether it is Soshiyang or the Knight of the Astrology, they are filled with some indescribable strangeness.
In such dark confinement, Kayang was able to think carefully and speculate.
"Kayang?"
Suddenly, a voice exploded in Kayang's heart, and it was very familiar.
"Um?"
He shouldn't have heard any movement, but he heard Soshiyang's voice. This was weird enough.
"Can you hear me? Nod if you can."
Kayang was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"They all said you are blind and deaf now, but I still want to try it. It seems that we have some fate, and now I will stand in front of you."
Qianzi chuckled and laughed at himself in a hoarse voice.
"I am very honored, but unfortunately my humble house is simple and I have not prepared refreshments for you."
"I'm not here to joke with you."
The other party's tone was a little stern, but Kayang continued his lazy attitude.
"Of course, this is not funny."
"You should be very clear about the status quo. You are already a prisoner. Iskandar Kayan, it depends on my mood when you are alive."
"Well, indeed, it's not the first time."
After that, there was a long silence, and Kayang even suspected that the person had left.
But just as he was about to sleep for a while, Soshiyang's voice sounded again.
"I want to hear about the Black Legion."
"Oh? Don't tell me, you're also dissatisfied with this decadent empire?"
"Shut up! Traitor! I'll say whatever I ask you to say!"
Kayang sneered when he heard the other party's annoyed voice.
"So what the Black Legion looks like in your mind, or what the Black Legion you know, looks like."
"A mob of losers who were exiled or forced into exile in various rebellious legions."
"Are you deceiving yourself? If it's a mob, then what are you fighting against during the twelve Black Expeditions? Beliefing your opponent is belittle yourself."
“I just elaborate on what I know.”
"Well, I tell you, in the history of the human empire, there was a record of a specific period that was severely destroyed, and the details of the incidents were distorted by lies... It was a relatively peaceful and prosperous era, and it was when the war of the Horus Rebellion had subsided and the empire's iron fist was to eliminate other threats in the galaxy and regain power... You can imagine that era, the empire spanned the galaxy, united and powerful, defeated the enemy and cleaned up the rebellion within... Anyone who dared to have dishonest in the belief of the "holy" emperor was sentenced to death, and they would pay the price of their lives for their inappropriate remarks, and alien creatures in the empire were also captured and executed."
Kayang took a deep breath, with disgust.
"You had the power that you had lost now, but the real resistance had not begun! In fact, the crisis was still lingering, the greatest threat of the empire was never eliminated, they were just forgotten... Yes, the empire at that time had forgotten us, and for the first time in human history, "peace" was achieved. After paying the most tragic price for victory, peace was finally established on the basis of ignorance and forgetfulness! From rebellion to great purge to all this becoming a legend, it only took several generations... Terra's high lord maintained his rule under the name of the emperor who ascended to heaven - and believed that we would always run a shameful escape and never come back."
"Indeed, since the Beast Wars, there has been no enemy threatening Terra again."
"Ha! They made up stories to each other, describing how we were driven into hell and wandered forever there... Indeed, that terrifying subspace storm was like a guillotine, and it was a good place for us empires to rebel! In the first days, the majestic world of Kadian Fortress was nothing but a silly outpost. Without a huge imperial fleet patrolling the void, the local people did not have to be forced to devote themselves to the meat grinders of the Imperial Guards, trained as soldiers destined to die in battle... In fact, the Kadians at that time had nothing to do, and it was almost unthreatened. The former empire was able to maintain its powerful appearance simply because its real enemy no longer raised its butcher knife to the pseudo-Emperor. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because we were busy killing each other at that time! The war filled with Eye of Fear even the Horus Rebellion paled in comparison! Like you, we completely forgot the existence of the empire, although there will be battles extending into the physical universe from time to time, that is because subspace can no longer tolerate our stupidity."
As he said that, Kayang suddenly stopped.
"Ah, I forgot, I have to introduce myself first."
“No need.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! "It is necessary, because my name is Iskandel Kayan, born in Prospero, a world destroyed by the wild wolf in space. In some areas of Terra, Iskandel is also called Sacandel... My brothers call me Black Kayan because I used to kill blood relatives, and Abaddon sometimes calls me to break the king, because my magic once made my primrose knees, and now I am the lord of the Black Legion. When I first put on black armor and faced the rising red sun to welcome the arrival of the holy war, I also suffered blood with Abaddon."
"It's such a title of 'highlight'. Any crime contained in it is enough to make you hanged ten thousand times."
"offense?"
Kayang's shriveled laughter echoed in the cell.
"Soshiyang, do you know that in the distant past, when the brothers were not yet slaughtered, just a word of God Emperor was enough to bring the noblest warrior to the lowest punishment."
Soshiyang was speechless.
"But now, almost everyone believes that the Emperor is God. I know why and how it happens... This is just a repeat of history. Every historian of civilization will tell you this way: the rise of religion is only because the helpless majority are fearful, while those who hold power need unchallenging control. The rise of every religion has the same reason-the lower classes of society desire answers and comfort, and require rewards for the next life to balance the difficulties and dangers of this life; to prevent people from rising up for a better life, the rulers have created a series of creeds to make most people obedient and docile."
Kayang moved his body forward, as if he wanted to get closer to Soshiyang, but his legs were not in control.
"Submission, obedience, submission... These have become virtues, and those who are suppressed must pursue great virtues and great virtues, or rewards in the next life. The act of trying to resist this mainstream belief is no longer a philosophical dissent, but a heresy that is judged as a heretic and sufficient to be judged to behead. Because of this, the control of the strong over the weak can be continued."
"We still believe in the power of the Emperor."
"Everything has an end, even if it is a thought, or a god - especially a false god... The so-called emperor is a remembrance of a man named emperor, and where this man ascended the throne is a broken engine composed of false hope! The golden throne is declining, and no one will know this better than those of us who commit to the eyes of fear. Then you can see the extinction of the star torch with your own eyes and hear the withering of the song of the emperor with your own ears."
