"Oh? That's really strange. Don't you always claim to be the best race in the galaxy?"
Soshyan glanced at Veronica. Of course he knew that this Eldar was being sarcastic. Their race seemed to live just for sarcasm.
"It's as if you didn't claim that. Even after the decline, you still thought so, didn't you?"
"Hmph, talk about yourselves, why do you involve us? Do you have so little confidence in your own race?"
Soshyan seemed to have heard this harsh question before. He shook his head and replied:
"The minds of mortals are too fragile, and they... cannot control this power. In the 36th millennium of the empire, High Lord Gol Vandire seized control of the empire. He used his powers as administrator and patriarch
Identity ruled almost the entire empire and established a bloody dynasty. He thought he could control the entire empire by himself, and he almost did it, but..."
"but what?"
"He went crazy. The huge pressure made him a complete madman, leading to the most serious civil strife in the empire since the Horus Heresy. Even after his death, the disaster of disbelief it caused still spread.
For more than ten centuries, in the era of anarchy and apostasy, countless false prophets appeared in the vast territory of the empire. Some of them were just fanatics who wanted to lead rebels, and some of them wanted to annex the entire world and other countries.
A fanatical demagogue affiliated with the military, or simply a lunatic."
Soshyan looked into Veronica's shining eyes.
"Do you know what Van Dill's last words were?"
"Um?"
"I don't have time to die, I'm too busy."
"this....."
Soshyan shook his head.
"This is the limit of mortal minds. They are not ungrateful, nor ungrateful, but they have limits."
The Elf girl blinked her eyes.
"I have always been curious, why are you not the ruler of your race? You are obviously stronger, wiser, and calmer. Since mortals have limits, are you willing to be ruled by them?"
"There was once a man who thought so. His name was Horus."
"No, no, no, that's just one example. Don't you also have a loyal original body? I don't think you are stupid enough to abandon all the advantages because of some disadvantages, right?"
"Well...but the Primarchs are gone."
"That's not necessarily the case. I remember the Great Prophet said that you also had a period of time when you were ruled by the original body, and the original body that ruled you is now sleeping."
"Are you talking about Lord Robert Guilliman? Indeed, he once served as regent of the Empire."
"Yes, isn't he doing a good job?"
Soshyan shook his head.
"But he was seriously injured and, like the Emperor, had to rely on machines to survive."
"What if he wakes up?"
"There is no point in discussing such a low-probability event."
"It's not easy to say. Let me just say what if, what if he wakes up? Will he be considered a ruler who is extraordinary and holy in your words? Will your empire end the rule of mortals?"
"But that's not the root of it."
Soshyan sighed softly.
"It is precisely because the Primarchs are not mortals that their concerns are different from those of mortals. Mortals must eat, sleep, love, fear, and ultimately...die. Mortals will never understand the immortality that the Primarchs are born with. They have no regard for the primarchs.
The attitude of the body is either deep fear or fanatical worship. Therefore, the empire built by the Emperor and the Markbearers is an empire of mortals, not an empire of supermen and monsters. Do you understand? Don’t the Emperor and the Markbearers know?
Were the Primarchs more powerful and wiser than mortals? Obviously not, but they did not view the Primarchs as rulers."
Veronica nodded thoughtfully.
"I understand... It seems that you still have a wise side, but you still haven't answered my question. If your original body returns, will you accept him as a ruler to rule your empire? And you
You always mention the one who holds the seal, you have a deep impression on him."
"Don't waste time, I have to find a way to recycle this thing."
Soshyan turned and looked at the huge machine.
"Is there any way you can take it away? I owe you a favor. In the future, you can make a request to me personally, and I will agree to it no matter what."
Veronica wrinkled her nose and snorted.
"It sounds strange to anyone...and for such a big guy, do you think I'm that fat, blue-skinned creature? I can hold everything in one pocket, and I'm omnipotent."
"Blue-skinned...what?"
"The great prophet said that the ancient saints were like that."
"Well--"
Soshiyang looked at the machine and felt a little confused. It was unknown whether he would be able to enter this kind of space again next time he went out this time. He did not dare to gamble with such a precious thing.
Then, his eyes shifted to the slot on the side of the machine, where twenty-four circular metal pieces as big as his palm and about millimeters thick were inserted. Although he was not a technician, he could probably guess that this was
memory slice.
"Even if the machine cannot be taken away, the template inside can be taken away."
Soshyan looked around for a while and found the operation panel, but he couldn't understand any of the symbols on it.
"This red...should be the start?"
After hesitating for a while, he touched the most conspicuous button.
"what sound?"
Veronica, who had been studying the floor symbols, suddenly raised her head and asked alertly.
Then he saw Soshyan standing there blankly.
Then she looked at the giant machine and found that the indicator light on one side suddenly turned on.
"Big guy, what did you do?"
"I...uh, there was a red one, I pressed it."
"You - you are so stupid! You don't understand anything and you click randomly!"
Just when Veronica was stamping her feet in anger, something unknown as smoke or water vapor rose from a cover near the floor, which meant that certain programs had been started.
Then, there was a roar inside the machine, followed by another noise, a shuffling sound.
Veronica slowly turned her head. Behind the dark fence in the alcove, they were moving their metal limbs.
Just when the Elf girl looked towards them, those dark eyes also emitted light, which was a deep green light.
For some reason, Veronica felt that this seemed to be the scariest color she had ever seen.
They woke up, and they woke up with their Creator.
Just staring at them for a while, the Elf girl felt herself being oppressed and breathless, and her heart was beating wildly.
In the darkness, countless eyes emit green light.
Some structures had already moved forward, waving their arms and hitting hard on the fence that trapped them. The metal hands firmly grasped the iron rods of the fence, trying to uproot them.
Accompanied by it, there is a low hum that is almost inaudible to the ears, which is a stream of approximately binary information.
These alien iron men groaned as they advanced.
"Do me a favor."
The situation at hand was not good, so Soshyan could only lower his head and continue to study the damn alien console, trying to stop those things.
"Can you hold on for a while?"
"I knew nothing good would happen if I stayed with you!"
Angrily kicking Soshyan's hard thigh, Veronica turned and walked towards the alien machines that were breaking the final restraint.
So far, she has raised her hands slightly, and her whole body is suspended half a meter above the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a flash of silver light flashed from her forehead, a large number of runes emerged from her robe, and stars surrounded her like a moon.
With a crisp sound, pieces of metal floorboards were lifted up one after another, and with the sound of metal collision, one after another slammed against the metal fence, blocking all the passages that the machinery could enter and exit in a matter of seconds.
But this did not stop the harsh metal scratching sound from getting louder and louder. Even in the violent impact of those machines, the floor made of unknown metal was knocked out with huge depressions.
"You better hurry up!"
In less than twenty seconds, Veronica was already sweating heavily, obviously having consumed a huge amount of her psychic energy.
But she was still trying hard to prevent those terrifying machines from entering the hall. She even peeled off the metal on the wall to block the way out of those things.
