He was already certain that Brother Seid must have lied to him, or that his memory had been modified, so he didn't know that there was an established undead army on the Sanctuary Planet?
All kinds of thoughts were wandering in Soshiyang's heart, but he didn't know where to start.
Finally, he suddenly thought of a question.
"If you have been able to use gray marrow on a large scale, why are there still such huge casualties?"
Soshiyang was well aware of the power of gray marrow. Even if there were only a hundred warriors transplanted with gray marrow, he was confident that he could reach tens of thousands of demons.
Gray marrow has an overwhelming advantage over subspace power.
Randall smiled bitterly and replied:
"Because we can't say it's applied on a large scale. There have never been more than a hundred warriors who can match the gray marrow. Moreover, the gray marrow we transplant is a degraded version. Not only does it have limited effects, but its use time is also limited. After repeated use, it will cause organ damage.
Metalize and die.”
"Metalization of organs——"
Soshiyang's eyes widened, and he suddenly imagined in his mind a scene where all the organs in his body turned into metal. It must have been extremely painful and hopeless - this fate made him shudder.
"How many of you are there now?"
"Six hundred and thirty-two people."
From the initial 3,000 people to less than 700 people now, Soshyan can imagine what the White Temple has experienced over the years.
But then, he frowned again.
"No, shouldn't the gray marrow metalize the bones first?"
"Yes, this is the problem with deteriorated gray pulp. It will lead to the metallization of internal organs first... and the process is very fast."
"Why is this happening?"
"Because...we lost the initial gray marrow fluid."
Randall took a deep look at Soshyan.
"You should be very clear about the importance of the initial gray marrow fluid. Only the gray marrow obtained from the initial transplanter can be perfectly transplanted to other people. The gray marrow that has been transplanted once will be damaged if it is transplanted to others again.
Deterioration occurs.”
Soshyan blinked, Brother Said had told him this.
Unlike gene seeds, gray marrow can grow geometrically. In order to ensure the quality of transplanted gray marrow and avoid serious defects, all gray marrow can only come from his body, which means that he is the only source of gray marrow.
"What happened to your original gray marrow transplanter?"
Randall turned his gaze to the gate of the Webway and said in a heavy tone:
"He's in there."
"inside?"
"The other side of the gate is not directly the network channel. For the sake of safety, when the Master was ordered to build this network channel, he also built a huge area at the exit of the network channel... The structural idea of this area comes from
The Alien Necron is essentially a maze, and many anti-psionic methods are used in the maze to prevent the demon army from rushing out of the Webway directly when an accident occurs in the Webway and causing harm to the world."
"I see--"
"The Horus Heresy broke out and the Webway was turbulent. Although some demons emerged, the ancestors were still able to deal with it after being blocked by the labyrinth. But six thousand years ago... a new situation seemed to have arisen in the labyrinth.
, the number of demons that emerged suddenly increased sharply, and the chapter immediately suffered huge losses, and was almost unable to support itself. In order to know that something was wrong in the maze, the then chapter leader, who was also the first generation chapter leader, entered the webway alone, but...
"
Randall shook his head.
"He never came out again."
"It turned out to be like this..."
Soshiyang immediately understood that the first generation leader of the White Templars who disappeared on the side of the webway at that time was also the "initial gray marrow transplanter" of the undead army's legacy. In fact, he was equally qualified as Soshiyang.
Acting Corps Commander".
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt something strange.
If the other party is still there, will this meeting be awkward?
After a moment of silence, Soshyan asked:
"What's his name?"
"It is recorded in the Chapter Archives that people call him... Brother Said."
For a moment, a thunder flashed through Soshiyang's mind!
"What--"
At this moment, he was beyond surprised.
Seeing that Soshyan looked like he had seen a ghost, Randall seemed to have some realization and asked softly:
"Have you ever heard of this name?"
"Well--"
Soshiyang took two deep breaths, calmed down, and then considered whether to reveal the truth to the other party.
At present, it seems that the other party is worthy of trust, but after all, the two met by chance, even though they may be blood brothers, the most important thing is that, unlike people like Kayon, he has no means to restrict the other party.
"If it's inconvenient..."
"Brother Said is currently with us. Well, it should be said that he founded the Astral Knights by himself."
After Randall heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then lowered his head, as if thinking.
Soshyan also looked at him silently.
Five minutes later, Randall raised his head again, his expression as usual, but there was a little more gloom between his brows.
"I can't imagine it, but I believe what you said, Brother Said...or a person who calls himself Brother Said is here among you. The gray marrow in your body can prove this."
"But now Brother Said has become a fearless one."
"It turned out to be like this-"
Randall shifted his gaze to the gate of the Webway again.
"It seems...the truth is still hidden behind this door."
"What truth?"
"Brother Said, what exactly did you encounter or happen back then?"
Randall suddenly turned his head and stared blankly at Soshyan.
"Soshyan, do you want to know the truth? Will you take a risk for this truth?"
After hearing this question, Soshyan was surprised at himself.
He didn't hesitate, and suddenly everything felt right, as if this question had been waiting for him his entire life.
"Of course, I have to find out the truth."
"That'll be easy."
Randall smiled slightly and looked back towards the direction where the golden door stood and trembled.
"The truth is inside. Apart from you, I don't think many people in the entire empire can enter and come out alive——"
"You mean..."
"Then what is your choice?"
Randall smiled, but the smile was rather bitter, and then the Chapter Leader of the White Templar said calmly:
"We all have our own fears when we first learn who we are, Soshyan."
Soshyan looked at the face that was somewhat similar to his own. For the first time, he saw vulnerability and sadness.
"Then will you go with me?"
"No, if I go in it will only slow you down."
Hearing what the other party said, Soshyan took a deep breath.
"I have always believed that nothing is unchangeable. There is still hope, and hope has always been there."
Then Soshyan stepped forward, striding towards the throbbing door, his feet clicking on the stone steps.
Randall just watched him leave without saying a word.
At this moment, at least for him, Soshyan's figure slowly overlapped with the back of another person - a person who was exhausted by eternal responsibilities and stumbled into the darkness.
Maybe from today on, he can forget the shattering screams of the horrific war raging deep underground.
