[You will see the secret, Constantine. I will explain it in a way you can understand.]
[Aristotle’s theory of humors is a comprehensive expression of ancient Greek medical concepts. This theory of humors fully proves human beings’ views on all body fluids, including blood, at that time. In that era when substances were endowed with spirituality, body fluids were given
It has an extremely important meaning, such as blood that can be used to refer to wine in ceremonies. When someone is hurt and bleeds, it means that this person is not only missing on the material level, but also on the spiritual and soul level.
Damage. In some belief systems, the soul is the medium that carries memories, so when you inflict damage and make it bleed, you will get the soul that carries the memory and get a glimpse of its secrets.]
[This is just a simplified statement, not completely correct, but a statement that ordinary people can understand. 】
Constantine saw the memory, the memory of Maximus.
He saw a red-haired girl running in the long corridors of the palace, and laughter echoed in the empty rooms and corridors. He saw the red-haired girl grow up slowly, and her youthful atmosphere became stronger with age.
His hair warmed up, and he could even feel the girl's hot heat and charm transmitted through the skin to his fingers, making his heart beat faster - Constantine watched indifferently as Maximus carefully touched Medusa's...
The ambiguous and sweet atmosphere between the two people did not affect him. He was as calm as if he was watching a movie - and then he saw a middle-aged man and a woman with a loving face. That man
Wearing a tuning fork crown, he frowned and announced to Maximus a secret that was not a secret, that is, he had an older brother.
After that, his memory began to get confused. He saw Medusa lying naked on the bed, with an amazingly beautiful waist and hip curve, and a clean pure white blanket covering her waist. Medusa's long red hair was scattered on the bed.
The bed was bent and tilted like a living thing. Maximus looked worriedly at her sweaty and sleeping side face, wondering whether he should tell Medusa about the throne; then he saw an ancient figure.
The King stood erect on the dry land, and thousands of slaves dressed in shabby linen knelt before him, shouting his name loudly.
Then jealousy began to gnaw at his heart, especially when the king announced that he was no longer the only candidate for the throne. Medusa, the woman who became the future queen because of political games, quietly took a step back, thirsting for power.
It ignited like wildfire at this moment. Then there was a series of chaotic and crazy memories. A magnificent church made of bones was built on a large piece of land floating in the ether wave.
Rhythmic blowing punctuates the blasphemous chanting.
The huge memory did not bother Constantine. For him, it was not a blink of an eye. Maximus's psychological activities and even the terrifying scenes deep in the ether did not affect his cold heart.
Constantine continued to thrust the spear forward, piercing straight into the heart of Maximus' mutated huge body that was exposed to the air. A huge amount of dirty blood splashed down on his face. Constantine pulled the trigger, even through the thick
His skin could also see the dazzling fire erupting in the chest of the giant beast - he saw the Kree reconnaissance ship falling towards Attilan, the shield burned part of the hull, but there was still a large amount of debris crashing into Attilan.
The palace; he saw Maximus laughing like a madman in the fire, and lying at his feet were the king and queen wearing tuning fork crowns, those were his parents; he saw the horrified eyes of everyone around him staring at his hands.
dagger, and the angry eyes of the strange brother.
"If you want to kill me, do it now." He heard himself looking at Medusa, and then at his brother who almost never spoke and could only communicate with people using a data pad, "You have already
Take away everything from me. Now Attilan is yours, and Medusa is yours too. All my efforts for the throne are meaningless, I have nothing left to cherish... I can read
Your thoughts, brother, your weakness surprises me. If you don't kill me, then one day I will drink your blood and chew your heart!"
"Execute him!" A member of the royal family with white hair and beard pointed at Maximus and shouted loudly, but when he turned his dry eyeballs and looked away, the voice of the distant relative of the royal family suddenly became much quieter. "This should be done by
You make the decision, King of Attilan. I'm sorry that I became emotional after seeing the murder of the previous king and queen."
Constantine pulled the trigger again, and the gunshot shattered all memories.
The giant beast's shoulder blades were instantly shattered, and its unnaturally grown shoulder muscles instantly bulged into a big lump.
Another Praetorian Guard raised the garrison spear again and cut off Maximus's knees with a sharp blade. The giant beast collapsed causing the deck to dent, and the molten iron below bloomed red from the cracks in the deck. At the same time, with
The other giant beast that Catherine was fighting also rushed over. It exhaled sound waves from its mouth, opened its bat wings and flew up quickly with the power of psychic energy, throwing Catherine off, and then rushed towards Constantine and another imperial guard.
.
Facing the giant beast that was nearly six meters tall, Constantine and another Guardsman did not retreat. They just took a few steps back to the side, and the halberds in their hands continued to blast towards the oncoming thermonuclear warheads.
After the bomb, Blackcard Burt was unable to stabilize his body in severe pain and fell heavily in front of the Guards. His body was covered with huge craters burned by the micro thermonuclear warheads.
At this moment, Catherine also arrived wearing steel wings and flames.
"Death! Devil!"
She raised her long sword high and slashed downwards, but she only cut off a few claws on the giant claw that Blackcade Burt had just raised in a hurry. Just as she was about to continue slashing, Blackcade Burt's mouth
The gushing psychic sound waves knocked her away far away, and the plasma ball fired by another battle sister with a plasma pistol was also blown away in an instant. The battle sister activated the chain sword and rushed over.
The buzzing chain saw wiped out a long spark on the claws and bones of Blackcade Burtgun, followed by a splatter of black blood and minced meat, and the next moment the giant beast's claws pierced through
Belly of the Battle Sisters.
"Death is the concept of the material universe. I was never born and never died." Maximus spit out a voice from his incomplete mouth, "The history of human civilization is just a moment to this universe. I once looked at the universe
Singularity Big Bang, I once watched the universe fall into heat death, now I will watch the human race, until the last human dies, I will stand in front of him and laugh at your useless efforts to resist chaos. I have countless
You only have one chance, and we will win."
"Remember my name, devil!"
The battle sister shouted fervently, while not forgetting to hold down the power of the chainsword tightly so that the chainsword could penetrate deeper. The laws of the material universe gave Blackcade Burt Gang severe pain, but
The Battle Sister turned a blind eye to the sharp claws that pierced her body and armor. Constantine and another Praetorian Guard were still on the way to rescue, but at this moment the Battle Sister had overloaded the plasma pistol, and the pressure relief valve emitted a dazzling sound.
Red warning light. She shouted fervently amidst the heat that was constantly escaping. Even the armor could not prevent her palms from being burned by the high temperature.
"I am Battle Sister Vera! When you appear in this universe again, I will also come to Bi. I will kill you every time until the end of the universe!"
With the dazzling brilliance and rapidly expanding heat, the giant beast once named Blackcard Botagon collapsed, and its head and arms were completely evaporated by the high temperature. Constantine looked at a row of deep incisions on his shoulder armor.
The tooth marks and crimson battle surface were also covered with dirty blood, dried together with the blood spattered when he followed the emperor into the battlefield. The spear used in the dream was now held in the emperor's hand, and he still held it
He carries the garrison spear that always accompanies him, but he has no habit of naming his weapons, so he only calls the garrison spear by its number.
"Did this really happen?"
[This is just a dream, remember? We are using the subjective to influence the objective, just like magic.]
"The battle marks on my body are real, and I can still smell the smell of propellant." Constantine blinked and began to retrieve the battle records on the power armor. If what Catherine said is true, the armored convoy was at the time of that battle.
Just entering the crack in the deck, it was like blood on the cloak, and the system of the power armor should have recorded it. Constantine retrieved the battle video of that period, but found that he did not wear a helmet at all during that period, because
At that time, the emperor ordered himself to take off his helmet. "Is this a coincidence?" He looked at the emperor doubtfully, "The reason why that battle happened at that time was because I was not wearing a helmet?"
【Maybe.】
"So are Blackcade Burt and Maximus dead?"
【Nothing really dies, matter is eternal.】
The Praetorian Guard glanced at the emperor. "You know there is no use in avoiding problems."
[The current status of Blackcard Burt and Maximus is not easy to define, because the etheric spiritual entity possessing them comes from the same concept, which means that after their death, the spiritual entity lost the material universe.
And because of what we did before, the energy transmitted here from behind the curtain is far less powerful than before. As for Black Card, Bertang and Maximus, there are no observers except us.
We opened the boxes and determined their status.]
"This means that we will be fighting a spirit that has lost its power at the portal?"
[Just think of it as a ghost. It originally thought it could get two containers, but now it has nothing. Its power here can only blow up a piece of parchment.]
Constantine was used to the emperor's sense of humor, but he would not really regard the emperor's sense of humor as a standard in his work. After all, many of the terrifying threats in the world were not as important to the emperor as the stones on the roadside that might make people sprain their feet.
, but to others it is a complete fatal threat. For example, Black Card Burt and Maximus, Constantine believes that the emperor can completely wipe them out of the material universe at any time as long as he is willing. However,
However, the emperor sent him to complete the task in his dream because of a deep game that he could not understand.
"I will ask the Mystic Mage to raise the defense level." Constantine turned his head and began to contact Master Hamil. After receiving a puzzled promise from Master Hamil, he had time to ask other questions. For example, why was he in the dream?
Use that gun. What is that gun? Why do Catherine and Vera appear in the dream? Why does he meet the Praetorian Guards from the future?
[No more questions, Constantine.]
Constantine blinked. The flamethrowers of the armored convoy continued to spit out tongues of fire. The stench of burnt humus and the black ash stirred up by the breeze made the environment here unbearable. The external temperature detected by the powered armored vehicle was already close to 50 degrees Celsius.
It is completely unsuitable for human survival without any protective measures. He took the spear from the emperor's hand - he felt familiar as soon as he took the gun, and the feeling of using this weapon in his dream seemed to have become his muscle memory -
He understands the gun's weight and attack range, every detail of the gun's pattern, and the gun's trigger strength.
"You're going to let me use this gun?"
【Yes.】
"But I encountered many incredible things in my dreams."
[That is all in the past. No matter who Blackcade Burt and Maximus were or what experiences they had, they have become history. The archives of the Order of the Guards will collect the Inhumans
documents, but only the most boring archaeologists will dig out their meaningless histories from the ashes and organize and compile them. Now, you need to use your subjective will to determine the objective facts through constant observation.]
"What does this mean...Catherine? How many times has this happened?"
"The 9th time."
"Then why can't I remember the first seven times?"
"Because we failed to complete the observation the first seven times." Catherine pointed to the two huge ferocious corpses on the deck, "Everything we experienced here was a dream. This world is subjective, remember? If you determine this
The world is real, then everything you encounter here will become reality. In order to achieve the final victory, my lord adjusted the variables again and again, first it was me, then Vera, the Imperial Guard, and finally you.
First there were just bolters, then there were sniper bolters, plasma pistols, chainswords, etc. All the variables were factors that changed the observation, just like changing the half-life of the radioactive element in the box."
