Warhammer: I don't want to become a stinky can!

Page 556

Diego, also known as "Darling," Hades thought, this is the ruthless man from the original story who banished Chaos Mortarion and carved words on Mortarion's heart.

Perhaps because they were too powerful, they were banned by the High Heavens, just like the invincible Ultramarines Second Company Commander Cato Sicarius and the invincible Ultramarines Second Company Commander Titus.

"It's alright," Hades thought, "he'll find these ruthless people."

He waved his hand, "That's your business, not mine... I won't get involved in your affairs."

Ahriman nodded.

"Thank you for your kindness, but the Grey Knights are few in number and mostly warriors... I'm afraid they are not up to the task."

Ahriman remained silent.

Hades leaned forward across the table, looking intently at Ahriman.

"so……"

Hades said softly,

“I know the Grey Knights don’t want to get too involved in politics, but the current situation is changing, just like the Regent’s Wrath back then. I think the lessons from that time were painful enough.”

"not to mention……"

Hades raised himself and looked at Magnus.

"Leaving aside the fact that I helped you find your still loyal Primarchs and told you the truth... Ahriman, you know that if your Primarchs were exposed, you would be in no condition to protect yourselves now,"

Magnus looked at Hades in astonishment, but Hades ignored him and continued to persuade Ahriman.

While Magnus's psionic power is formidable, a single Magnus fragment is clearly insufficient against a well-equipped multi-phantom department.

“I can help you protect the Primarch, Ahriman.”

Hades said softly, “But I don’t think you can swallow this? A psionicist protected by the Soulless? Besides… I’ll be even busier in the future, you know… I can’t always stand by your side.”

“I know you want to fight,” Hades said. “You are just a banner. I will have the Imperial Guard and Ultramarines assist you in your work… or the World Eater, or the Imperial Fist, or the Son of Hades—whoever you like, I will bring to work for you.”

Hades finished speaking and looked with satisfaction at Ahriman, whose eyes were burning with fighting spirit and fire.

Ignoring the Primarch's deliberate obstruction, the old tyrant stepped out from behind Magnus and faced Hades directly.

"The Grey Knight will not fail in your mission."

Hades laughed.

【etc? ! 】

Magnus suddenly shouted,

[Negative psychic Oglin, what do you mean I can't protect myself?!]

"A slightly exaggerated description."

Hades raised his hands in surrender, but he knew that Ahriman had taken his words to heart.

As expected, Ahriman interrupted Magnus.

“My father,” Ariman suddenly said, “anger is bad for your health… there are still a few swindlers in the group… would you like to meet them?”

4.9k, that's all, great!

Chapter 615 In History

The emperor was furious.

He felt angry and confused.

Once upon a time, He moved among various powers, carefully and cautiously manipulating His power, meticulously piling up every detail, weaving a vast net of billions of documents and billions of lies and truths.

This net nearly ensnared the lion, dragged Guilliman from his throne, buried Mortarion in the Garden of Desolation, and seized control of the Golden Throne...

But in any case, this net's ultimate goal is it.

It can only be it; it is never blinded by chaotic lies.

It never falters over trivial matters or petty gains... When faced with an uncertain situation, it will actively consult the Lord of Humanity... He may temporarily blind it, but in the process of verbal debate,

The mocking gaze of the Lord of Mankind always sees through everything, looking toward Him.

After another brief meeting, Makado rubbed his temples again; he didn't want to hear any more words that would ignite his anger.

"Can't,"

He said somewhat impatiently,

"I can allow the Ultramarines to reach the limit. Any further... that's not something a legion can control."

He calmly looked at Hades before him.

"Next, I allow the existence of the Son of Hades, but I forbid Ultra Warriors from using black paint. I know what you're thinking, Ghost."

Hades smiled.

That means we won't prohibit Death Guard from being painted black—besides, the Son of Hades has a tradition of recruiting soldiers from the 500 worlds, and Booz is an excellent Macraggean.

He can't simply ban the Makulaghs.

Hades thought to himself as he tried to persuade Makado.

"But with such a large scope of management... I've reorganized the departments again, and this workload... Lao Ma, are you really capable of handling it?"

“I have a plan,”

The Lord of Humanity spoke first, before the irritated Makado.

“We can introduce the Nirvana of the Thinker.”

The Emperor spoke calmly, noting Hades's astonished, wide-eyed gaze and Makado's almost incredulous expression.

"The Thinker?!"

Macado practically roared out—

The Emperor had not seen Macardo so out of control in a long time. Even the most patient warp creature would instinctively become agitated in the face of a psionic black hole.

"This isn't your average thinker, is it?"

Makado was aggressive.

"Aversion to intelligence?"

A cunning glint flashed in his eyes, mixed with disappointment, as if he were realizing for the first time that the Lord of Humanity had no bottom line.

"You can't do that," Macado said with a sigh.

His voice even softened, “Lord of Mankind, you know what this means. Mankind can no longer allow the seeds of betrayal to be sown within itself.”

The Emperor merely gazed calmly at Macardo. Had the seeds of betrayal been sown within humanity? Perhaps Macardo should re-examine his current stance.

"The false god who ruled over the machines of hatred is dead,"

The Emperor said calmly, “A corresponding authority has not yet been established in the High Heaven. This is an opportunity, Makado.”

This time, it wasn't Makado who opposed him.

"etc?!"

Hades cried out,

"Old Huang, get one thing straight—Nirvana is a purely physical thing, what are you going to do with it?!"

The Emperor paused for a moment.

"I can guarantee that Nirvana will never betray me."

In reality, as long as he is there, Nirvana will not betray him.

It doesn't matter; he lived longer than them, and he never claimed that he didn't lie.

The Lord of Humanity remained silent.

"You have misunderstood."

He continued,

"I will cover it with my psionic energy, which will enhance the performance of Nirvana and ensure its purity—the mechanical false god is dead, and my psionic energy will not be contaminated by the warp too much. We don't need to worry too much, Makado."

lie.

With just a little disguise, Hades, who doesn't understand psychic abilities, wouldn't be able to see the true nature of the soul within. Prioritizing efficiency and practicality, he would only remain silent after confirming loyalty.

Macardo, on the other hand, was worried about Iron Man's rebellion, but he could glimpse the truth through his psychic powers. At that moment, Macardo's concern was no longer about Iron Man's betrayal—but about the Fifth God.

The Lord of Mankind lowered his eyes; ever since Saint Gilles established the state religion, the faith he had gained had been endless…

Most of them went to repay the debt from the expedition ten thousand years ago, while a small portion of the power of faith was lost on the day Saint Gilles fell. He now only has a little power left and still needs to store it up for future use.

His gaze swept toward Hades.

Sitting on the golden throne is nothing but a case of borrowing power from others.

Within the subspace, behind the Emperor, the light of the star torches covered the entire solar system, illuminating the empire's territory.

From the perspective of the Emperor and other warp beings, the current Lord of Humanity is also weak, but still evenly matched with them.

Blessed by Tohadeth, they are declining together.

From Makado's perspective, his attempt was more like a decision made after Makado destroyed the Ministry of the Interior, leading him to embark on the path of ascension—the Lord of Mankind beginning to absorb power related to non-state religions for the first time.

The emperor couldn't help but smile.

For Makado, who was blinded by the pursuit of power and ascension, this was a very dangerous thing...

From Macado's perspective, He is currently ranked as the fifth, and since the Lord of Mankind has always sat on the Golden Throne, the Emperor will not have the possibility of ascending to godhood for the time being.

But the Lord of Mankind's actions were telling Macado that he could ascend to godhood and become the "Four," thus blocking Macado's path to godhood.

Makado had never anticipated this, because based on his understanding of Neos, Neos would never willingly embark on the path to godhood.

But... Macado will then realize that if he betrayed their original intentions, then Neos can do the same.

Neos can also choose to ascend to godhood and is closer to success than Makado.

The Emperor never betrayed his original intentions—but he could make Macardo mistakenly believe that he had. By Macardo's own standards, he would think that way.

He watched as Macardo, his initial anger at Hades subsiding, instantly calmed down and returned to his usual caution.

"This is not a good solution..."

Macado squeezed out a few words through his teeth.

"Although the Lord of the Gears is gone, if Nirvana is used on a large scale, you will suffer a backlash from the warp."

Backlash? It can also be called gaining power.

These powers will not be given to him, but to Phenus.

The emperor smiled.

"There is Hades."

He said this, and Hades, who seemed to be thinking, nodded upon hearing the Emperor's words.

If Hades hadn't thought about it deeply, then for him it was merely a question of whether AI could be widely applied to the Empire, and the Emperor's initiative in bringing it up was also to dispel Hades's avoidance of Chaos.

For Hades, if there is pollution, he can simply open the Black Domain... The scale of Nirvana is still more than enough for him now.

But for Macardo, this was a veiled warning.

The Emperor simply gazed calmly at Macado, awaiting his consent.

When the emperor makes a suggestion, he is already doing it.

He can bring about nirvana in countless corners that Macardo cannot reach.

Makado simply stared at him, as if he had betrayed his vow—he had indeed solemnly sworn never to embark on the path of ascension.

But he never betrayed anyone.

The draft of Nirvana was eventually passed.

Hades proposed using Ultramarines and Sage Faos as temporary administrators of Nirvana, but this was not approved.

So he applied to become a maintenance and upgrade technician, and his application was approved.

Makado personally proposed to guard Nirvana—the Lord of Mankind naturally agreed. However, in return, Hades, citing the further diversion of Makado's attention, recruited many more Blue Space Marines for Terra's Ministry of the Interior.
