Warhammer: The Beginning is the Crisis of Annihilation Chapter 270

  Chapter 270 The New Throne (for subscription)

   It is difficult to find words from the vocabulary that humans have mastered to describe what Teresa saw at this time.

  Things like that should not exist in the real universe.

   Instead, it should be cast aside forever in an unknown dark corner.

  Man's worst nightmare is hardly comparable to what Teresa saw at this time.

   Monsters are slightly taller than normal humans.

  The lower body is slender and beautiful legs like a cone, slender, with perfect legs, wearing black stockings that seduce men.

  The only shortcoming is that the skin has been peeled off, and blood is leaking from it.

  Wearing a pair of red boots with iron spikes on his feet, they are as bright as blood. I don't know if they are stained with blood, or they are so red in the first place.

   With every step, the sharp edges of the boots scraped against those legs.

  The skin on the upper body has also been peeled off.

   There are malicious eyes and a whispering mouth in the squirming flesh and blood, which are all over the body, making people feel a kind of intensive phobia.

  Inside the mouth is a tube-shaped tongue and densely packed sharp teeth.

   What's even more frightening is that it carries a thorn-shaped cross on its back, and the iron wires with blades bind its arms and body, and the sharp blades cut directly into the body.

  Crimson blood flowed from the tormented body and dripped to the ground.

   That distorted, weird, elongated face is full of pleasure and satisfaction.

  It was immersed in the pain of tormenting itself, and let out a weird and terrifying laugh.

   Behind the monster is a scene like hell.

  The prayer room is full of naked corpses.

   They were skinned and imprisoned on crosses of thorns.

  The corpse is still writhing in pain, as if the soul is imprisoned in it, unable to be freed.

"You will enjoy joy in the kingdom of the gods until the moment when the universe is destroyed." The monster walked towards these warriors who claimed to be righteous and fought for the future of mankind step by step, and said in human language: "This is right Your reward, mortals."

   Teresa was speechless, she was screaming uncontrollably.

   Fear made her cry uncontrollably.

  She wanted to turn around and run away.

  But her brain could no longer control her legs, and every cell in her body broke free from the control of her brain in fear.

  Teresa's former comrades-in-arms are the same.

  They were all paralyzed with fright.

   Survival instincts allowed them to escape quickly, but their legs were already out of control.

   "What a wonderful thing," said the man next to him, with a faint smile on his face, "reveling until the end of time in sweet indulgence, no pain, only joy."

   "No!" Teresa looked at the man. Being ignorant, she once thought that the man was an upright and kind traveler. When the truth was stripped away, the struggle in the man's mouth was nothing but lies.

  He is the messenger of those monsters.

  The truth of the gods is so terrible.

  Even just glimpsing a corner of it is enough to drive ordinary people crazy.

  How ridiculous the remarks of those ignorant scholars are.

   They pride themselves on reason, believing that the harsh laws of the Empire and hostility to Chaos are the means used by the rulers to maintain their rule.

   They boasted and asked the empire to show evidence that Chaos persecuted human beings.

   Those who are not so cruel photos are despised by them.

   Want video, video, see it with your own eyes.

   Teresa realized at this moment how lucky those guys were to be executed by the Empire.

  If you let them fall into the hands of Chaos in your own mind, I am afraid that their screams will be enough to make their ears lose their hearing.

The man looked at Teresa's expression of fear, shook his head, and said in a mocking tone: "You used to think that humans and gods should live in harmony, didn't you? Why are you resisting now? Don't you yearn for the truth? Yet?"

   Teresa said tremblingly: "This is not what I hoped, how could it be an angel? It's just a monster."

   "Your short-sightedness makes me feel sad, Teresa." The man said: "This is an external manifestation of the divine, don't look at them with the pedantic human point of view."

  The monster born in the most terrifying nightmare stretched out its tentacles from its body, entangled Teresa and the others, and dragged it slowly into the prayer room.

  The crosses of thorns within were not yet filled, and it required these mortals who longed for the protection of the gods to fill each cross, to please the great Prince of Pleasure with their screams and cries.

  The strength of the tentacles is extremely powerful, no matter how Teresa and others struggle.

   Someone grabbed the ground with their claws, leaving nothing but blood on the ground.

  The door was slowly closed, blocking Teresa and the others from screaming.

  The man shook his head, turned and left.

   Teresa will not die.

  She will know what joy is in the torment that destroys soul and body, and enjoy it.

   Of course, it will take hundreds of years to feel.

   Demons are very patient with this

   To the creatures of the Warp with their eternal life, time is of little importance.

   Getting these souls to scream is all that matters.

  The welcome ceremony was prepared early.

   People eagerly await the return of the Imperial Regent.

   All the members of the guard of honor stared at the starry sky, waiting for the Queen of Glory, which belonged to the Regent of the Empire.

  The airport has been cleared.

  Flowers covered the avenue.

  The priests, with their large numbers of believers, waited for the signal that the moment the Imperial Regent set foot on Terra, they would sing loudly.

   The salute has been filled.

  The majestic battleship group is suspended in the low earth orbit of Terra, adding majestic military might to the imperial regency ceremony.

  The forbidden army had already lined up at the gate of the palace, waiting for the return of the Primarch.

   At this time, it has been a long time since Guilliman left.

  Many of those who saw him last time fell under the power of time, grew old, and even finished their journey of life.

  The Milky Way is so vast.

  An expedition can easily last for a century or two, and ordinary people simply cannot bear such a long passage of time.

  Guilliman's speed is considered very fast.

  But it still took him a lot of time to pull the entire empire back from the abyss of destruction and establish a new order so that human civilization can develop healthily.

  The Glory of Macragge where Guilliman is located is heading towards Terra at this time. If there is no accident, he will set foot on the land of Terra today.

  However, Guilliman did not attach much importance to this grand ceremony.

  The ceremony is just to let ordinary people see hope and let them understand that human civilization has never been defeated.

  At this time, Guilliman was staying in the secret meeting room.

  Kauer is reporting various construction results to him.

  In the past, everything conceived in Macragge has now been realized, or is on the way to be realized.

  Many reforms and plans have already entered the right track and have been put on the table for implementation.

  Rogg Dorn is repairing the webway left by the Eldar and the Old Ones in the Beta Garmon galaxy.

  When Xiu reached those abandoned Eldar cities, Guilliman instructed Dorne to build a fortress belonging to humans.

   Repair as strong as possible.

  It is necessary to build a high wall, so as to block the wolves, tigers and leopards of the subspace, and block the minions of the gods.

  The current webway plan is mainly to repair those abandoned webways.

   Wait until the number of network lanes under control is large enough to meet the needs of the empire, and then find a way to build a new network lane.

   Such a risk factor is the lowest.

  Even if there is a crisis, it can be remedied in time with the help of the Spirit Race.

  After all, the fall of the Eldar Empire in the past also led to the invasion of the Eldar Webway, but they survived that crisis safely and have rich experience.

   There will be no such thing as the former emperor sitting on the golden throne to plug the gap.

   What you want is robustness.

  Taking the fast and precise route will not work.

  We must be steady and steady, and manage the basic market well.

   Strive to be the one who laughs last, not the one who laughs the loudest.

  The military industry reform of the empire has also been fully launched.

  In the past, Terra and Mars were allies, and the person who shared their allegiance was the Emperor.

  After the Emperor stopped speaking, the Mechanicum had a great deal of autonomy.

   For Terra's orders, they have the right to choose not to obey.

   The procedures for imperial troops to obtain new equipment are very complicated.

  It is not uncommon for hundreds of years to be spent from application to formal production and delivery to troops for assembly.

   This speed is too inefficient to deal with the endless threats in the universe.

  After the military industry reform, the original alliance relationship was redefined.

  Many departments related to science and technology, armaments, and industrial products will assign part of the management quota to Mechanics, and the foundry world will be included in the empire's management system, which connects demand and production, optimizes the complicated procedures of equipment installation, and improves administrative efficiency.

  In addition to this, the genetic engineering of the original body, the lighthouse project, and the different universe project have all been launched.

  Guilliman read the data transmitted to his own database, reviewed the completion factor of each plan, and showed a satisfied expression.

  Not to mention other things, just the current education level of the empire makes him feel very good.

  The education popularization rate in Ultramar has reached 98%.

  This popularization refers to the completion of basic subjects, the ability to recognize and understand the documents written in the common language of the empire, a certain understanding of the universe, and the ability to master and operate smart devices.

  Other areas are slightly slower.

   But the progress is also very gratifying.

  Giving a little more time, the popularization of basic education can be completed.

  Learn more scientific knowledge and firmly follow the line of materialism with imperial characteristics.

   Don't study ghosts and monsters in the subspace.

  Strictly grasp the ideological education construction of the new generation of the empire, reduce ignorance and ignorance, let people know the dangers of taking refuge in chaos, and then get on the right track.

  The rectification of the media has also been relatively successful. The empire has established several general media organizations to guide public opinion.

   Promote the dangers of organizations and cults that serve Chaos.

  The daily job is to publicize the various harms brought by chaos. Even the discord between the husband and wife next door is caused by chaos.

  Before, there were a group of scholars who criticized the manipulation of public opinion by the empire, believing that the empire would do anything to fool the people.

  Of course, this group of people was directly ordered to be investigated by the Prime Minister of the Empire.

   By the way, many academic organizations that linked interests were pulled out.

  The fate of these people is naturally punishment battalion and machine servants.

  The number of dispatches of the Tribunal during this period is not rare.

   There are evils and evils are eliminated, and there are no evils and evils are eliminated.

  The empire is now a dictatorial democracy.

  The governor inside the planet is elected by the local residents.

  Guilliman is very relaxed on this point, allowing them to choose whoever they think can represent their interests.

  In a sense, the functions of the current planetary governor and the previous planetary governor are completely different.

  The empire's military, economy, and industry are all in the hands of Terra.

  The function of the current planetary governor is to convey the demands of the planet's residents to the empire. Compared with the past, the power has been weakened a lot. What's more, the Imperial Tribunal serves as a supervisory agency, which greatly reduces the phenomenon of power linkage.

   Per-planet tithes have also been overhauled.

  In the past, the Imperial Taxation Department simply and rudely sent tax ships to collect.

   Now, trade organizations such as the Imperial Chamber of Commerce are used for implicit collection.

   Weakened people's aversion to imperial taxation.

  At the same time, use commercial economic means to levy more on rich planets and less on poor planets, and tilt resources to support the development of those backward planets.

  The cooperation between the judge and the state religion has become closer and closer.

  Any non-emperor religion is outlawed and prohibited from the legal level.

  Those organizers were tried in public, or even executed directly.

   Such cleaning behavior effectively reduces the situation of Chaos invasion.

  Without the zealots opening the door for the demons, it is very difficult for the demons to enter the physical universe.

  Under multiple measures, except for those worlds that are still on the edge of the Great Rift and still plagued by demons, other worlds can basically remain stable.

   "Everything is done well." After reading the data, Guilliman stared at Kaul and smiled.

   Kaur was not moved by Guilliman's praise.

  In his body, most of the human sensibility has already disappeared along with the flesh and blood.

  Remaining emotions, like those necessary flesh and blood, are just remnants of the past.

  Cauer's mechanical tentacles slide in the air, and the projection interface appears with his movements.

  A huge, majestic mechanical building appeared in front of Guilliman.

   "Now, the most important thing for us is to create a device to control the subspace firewall. The relevant parts are already in production, and we only need to assemble them."

   It took Guilliman a few seconds to finish reading the design drawings and data with a huge amount of information.

   The huge mechanical equipment comparable to the Himalayas is just the console of the subspace firewall.

   On top of the machinery, Kaur thoughtfully designed a throne for Guilliman.

   used to channel his power to protect the Warp Firewall.

  In subspace, will is king.

  The firewall is to forge human will into a wall to block the damage of the subspace evil god.

Now the lighthouses built all over the empire, many high-level empires know that in addition to guiding the direction and coordinates of subspace ships, there is also a function that can leverage the power of the emperor with the help of faith, and provide a powerful tool for all regions to fight against demons. arms.

  However, known only to Guilliman and Caul, these lighthouses also had an unknown function.

   That is the node that acts as a subspace firewall.

  These lighthouses can radiate Guilliman's will to various planets, and then unite the will of mankind to establish a subspace firewall and form a subspace area network independent of the realm of the gods.

   Only those who are considered capable of resisting external crises can cross the regional network and travel in the larger subspace.

   The mechanical device that Kaul showed to Guilliman is the master switch, which is also the machine that transmits Guilliman's will.

   This plan is the most secretive.

   It was promoted with the help of the shell of the secret Lighthouse Project. It can be said that it has several layers of shells. Not to mention that the enemy does not know, the entire empire is kept in the dark by the two.

  With this thing, the human empire can be considered truly unified.

  The previous unity was only physical.

   This machine can unify every soul in the entire human civilization, and in that case, it will have enough power to protect itself.

   "Can you change the design?" Guilliman looked at Kaul and asked, "It doesn't need to be designed in the style of a throne."

  The last one sitting on the throne has not come down yet!

   Now you want me to sit down again? ?

"This is the design that best suits your identity, my lord. Don't you want to stand on the machine? Let's maintain the firewall. Although you don't need to guard this machine all the time, sometimes it takes a long time to debug .If there is no throne, you have to stand on it. It looks stupid and does not fit your status." Kaur said: "You don't have to worry about what happened in the past of the emperor. This mechanical device has an emergency mode, and Its mission is simply to allow your will to control the entire firewall, to lead the will of men against the terrible tides of the Warp. If the inevitable crisis should occur, the priority of this machine is to ensure your safety."

   "I know." Guilliman said lightly, "I am not worried about this. Such an important device is designed as a throne, and I still sit on it. Those opponents must have other ideas."

  Guilliman thinks he should change to another one.

   Sitting on the throne always feels a little insecure.

   Change to individual ones.

  Cauer froze for a moment, staring at Guilliman, wondering if he was testing himself or really didn't know.

  The Marshal of the Forbidden Army publicly announced his platform, declaring that the Forbidden Army, under the order of the emperor, will accept the upgrade of the original casting and embrace a new era.

   For this reason, the voices of the entire empire supporting the Primarch have completely overwhelmed the previous royalists.

   Doesn't this mean something? ?

   Just need to find a good day to ascend the throne.

  The one on the top even sent his own Custodian troops to Guilliman's hands, but he just didn't jump up and shouted, "Give way."

   After thinking for a moment, Kaul thought that this might be because the Primarch had considered too well.

  Considering that he has not officially ascended the throne, he is afraid that others will have opinions on this, which will affect the stability of the empire.

"The design of the throne is indispensable. If it is designed otherwise, it is not in line with your identity. What's more, even if it is to debug the machine, my lord, you may have to continue to deal with government affairs. As for other people's opinions, I suggest that the regent need not Don't worry, your identity is already doomed, and those people can't change anything."

   Kaur rarely chose a tactful tone.

   Guilliman stared at the design of the throne at the top, and thought for a long time. There really was no other design that could match his identity.

  Designed as a sleeping cabin is a bit too much for his image.

   If you stand, you will stand for a few days at that time, and you will look like a big fool.

  Designed as a throne, just sit on it.

  Majestic and domineering, it can also show his majesty.

   This is indeed the best design.

   "Okay, let's design it like this." Guilliman finally chose to compromise.

   But this is only temporary.

  As long as you get the knowledge database of the third stage, use the advanced knowledge in it, and redesign it.

   Something happened today, and my mentality immediately exploded.

   Send out five thousand and one chapters in advance, and see if I can write another chapter at night.

  (end of this chapter)
