One or two is one chapter, when the demonic storm is brewing
Since matter and energy will become potential factors that lead to jump accidents, generally speaking, starship jumps will be outside the star system.
The vast deep space of the universe, evenly distributed, can only count a few particles of dust per cubic kilometer, and the impact on the transition is naturally low enough.
After the magic change, the troublemaker also chose to follow the unspoken rules of extragalactic jumps.
Compared with before, the overall style of today's troublemaker has become more aggressive and dangerous.
Among the many specific things that shape this style, the sharp edges and corners are the most eye-catching.
Kane did not make a move to meet the Buzhoushan this time.
After the battle ended five days ago, the Buzhoushan entered a ten-day period of maintenance and fine-tuning.
Like many, Kane was once and for all on his quest for a job.
Use the ultimate technology to create the ultimate creation, always powerful, never outdated......
And eventually, he realizes that nothing is once and for all except death. Death, on the other hand, represents becoming a thing of the past and being eliminated.
Why is life a miracle in the universe?
Just because it's 'alive'.
And the typical characteristic of 'living' is evolution.
Evolution can be seen as a series of self-changes in order to adapt to the current environment, or even override the current environment, and make better use of it.
So Kane understood that the so-called perfection is a living body that is always more than half a block above the current environment.
Leading, overtaking, exploiting, and even mastering, that's perfection.
Naturally, then, this realization is embodied in Kane's creations through technology.
An example of this is the Buzhoushan, which is alive.
This activity is not only reflected in the technical application of living metals and evil god cells, but also in the fine-tuning operation that has been determined from the beginning of the design and will never be terminated as long as it exists.
Therefore, the maintenance of the Buzhoushan is much more complicated than that of ordinary ships, but it is up to Miranda to worry about it, and the shipboard AI cooperates with the implementation, so that it has reached a fool's style, and if you throw it there, you can become stronger.
Compared to the Buzhoushan, the newly built ships of the Gradian fleet do not have such a compulsion.
Kane doesn't bother to name this kind of mass-produced ship, although each of them is better than the same kind of ships in the human empire in this world, but the fate of cannon fodder has been predestined since before it was born, and if it has a spirit, it will probably lament that it is the same ship, reincarnated good or bad, there is a huge difference.
This time, it was a part of Gradius's fleet that faced the Troublemaker.
Thirty-three warships of various colors left the star system at sub-light speeds, fending off the ill-intentioned visit of the Troublemaker at the gate of the Courtyard.
Compared with the dwarf planet-level physique of the Troublemaker, this half of the fleet does have the feeling of ants challenging anteaters.
However, the matter of war is neither a big nor a small one, nor a comparison of how much, and which is stronger and which is weak, and it is only known after fighting.
In this regard, I am very confident in doing Gaso.
It's just that now it has lost its original publicity and spirit.
According to normal Terra (Earth) time, the Gaza has been in subspace for more than 70 years and 4 months. During this period, it has experienced too many strange events that ordinary people can't dream of, and its body and mind have been greatly tortured and distorted.
But these are far more devastating than the blow of loneliness.
Demi blew dead.
In order to reunite the exiled part of the Troublemaker's hull, Demibuki was sacrificed.
Maudison also died.
In order to escape the doom of becoming a subspace drifting coffin, or in other words, in order to repair the Troublemaker in time and give it the special ability to freely enter and exit the subspace and the physical universe again, Maudevison was also sacrificed.
So the Troublemaker had a spirit of his own, and obtained the two-phase talent from Demibuki and Maudetson, and found his own way and evolved himself.
Both sacrifices were led by Gaso, but that doesn't mean it's happy to do so.
If there is a choice, Gasso would rather be accompanied by the living Demibuki and Maudeson than turn into the special ability of the troublemaker.
And even good friends have been sacrificed, and the other orcs on the troublemaker are nothing.
Now the Casses are alone.
Of course, there is no shortage of combat power on the Magic Reform Troublemaker. The Chaos creatures, and the Chaos Orcs, are more powerful than they used to be, but they have lost their original style and, above all, the Waaagh spirit.
Today, they are just one of the creatures of the physical universe corrupted by the forces of Chaos, expressions of the will of Chaos, pawns of evil gods, and fierce generals.
In the depths of the consciousness of the Casse, there is some nostalgia for the old days.
When it returned to Gradius this time, it had a vague hint of luck in its heart, that is, near the battlefield, it could find some remnants of orcs.
And this fluke was shattered by the cruel truth.
Kane has an eye for detail in his own right, and Miranda takes that to the next level.
The battlefield five days ago is now empty, not to mention the boulder ships, not even the orc spores can be found.
And this situation further stimulated Gazso, whose eyes flashed with scarlet light, much less than the light released by Maudetson's laser mechanical eye.
The Chaos Orc Warlord, who has demonized more than 60% of his body, has now been filled with revenge and hatred in his heart, and he wants to destroy everything, and this time it will not back down.
Although few people know about it, it must be said that the legend value of Gazso is quite high today.
But as far as Kane is concerned, it is still a little insufficient, even if he knows the past of Gazso, and has witnessed those crises, difficult survival, and highlight moments in his life, I am afraid that he will only comment on one sentence: another one who has been driven crazy.
Some failures deserve sympathy, and some failures are not worthy of pity.
Doing this kind of Gazo, Kane thinks it should be the latter.
Murder and arson of the gold belt, the name is ruined and people deserve to be crazy.
Since you have chosen this path away from innocence, you will only judge heroes by success or failure, and everything else is hypocritical.
Like almost all Space Marines, they have their own tragic pasts, so don't make excuses for your fall.
Orson the Cruel never makes excuses for his depravity. He saw the Fall as a choice to take control of his own destiny. And this choice starts with selfishness.
I don't know when he gradually felt aggrieved to fight for the empire and mankind. They didn't deserve his efforts.
And this kind of thinking starts with pride.
He felt superior to others.
Just as the leaders of the cult now say when they are once again demagogic and inciting:
"Lower organisms are necessarily at the bottom of the food chain and are eaten or used by higher organisms. This is the law of nature. Put away your superficial mercy and focus on the great cause of becoming a Higher Being. ”
"Now, the opportunity is in front of you, as long as you successfully complete the mission, you can obtain this evolutionary fruit, it is extraordinary, it is a rare treasure that does not exist in the physical universe, even in the mysterious subspace. It allows lives to leap forward, officially opening the way to a higher creature. ”
"Some people may say that these tasks are not a small risk! Indeed, but I have to ask rhetorically, what is there in this world that is not risky? Even if you are walking on the road, you may be hit by falling objects from high altitudes and hit by a drunk driver. It is also a well-known common sense that high returns come with high risks. So, don't say stupid things like the stakes are too high, but ask yourself how strong your desire is to embark on the path of the extraordinary. ”
"Some people may ask, what should I do if the mission fails? But I suggest that those who are down-to-earth and old-fashioned should go and live a down-to-earth life, turn a blind eye to this cruel market, work hard, and pray that there will be no external force to ruin their fragile little life. ”
"And those who are committed to improving their life level, so as to gain greater power, and control their own destiny as much as possible, should not be distracted by what to do if they fail. Instead, we turn this worry into motivation to move forward, telling ourselves that there is no way back, there is no way to go, we must jump + climb in order to cross the gap between the ordinary and the extraordinary, and begin to climb the dangerous peak of higher life. ”
"That's what it means to jump. Go off the beaten path, run, jump, and seize the opportunity to change your fate. The cult leader once again raised the so-called evolutionary fruit in his hand.
The believers present greedily gazed at the miraculous fruit that was bright in color and dripping from time to time, and many of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
But they don't know what happens to the people who eat the fruits of evolution in the secret rooms separated by their walls.
"I'm sorry, I've given you everything that should be given to you, you can't carry it yourself, you can't rely on me. A veteran Chaos cultist muttered to himself as he watched his friend turn into a pile of unrecognizable flesh and blood.
And next to him were a few colleagues who were holding their shoulders and watching coldly.
Once the target had finished their frantic struggle, one of them removed the shield and stabbed the still twitching flesh with a blasphemous dagger.
A moment later, the gem at the end of the dagger glowed.
"Well, this flesh is okay, it can be used as a base for the Chaos Egg. ”......
Because it wanted to make trouble, the cult took the initiative to commend a group of people who had performed well in ordinary times and who had not yet made meritorious contributions.
In addition to the fact that the rise and fall of cults are closely related to the ability of their founders and the general social climate, extraordinary resources are undoubtedly also a very important part.
As the terminal organization of the chaotic forces, most cults do not care about loyalty, and if they have milk, they are mothers.
Orson the Cruel is not proficient in this kind of cult magic stick that bewitches and manipulates mortals, but Albert, the father of distortion and one of his cadres, started from this and can be called proficient in business.
In this transcendent and real world, most successful cult leaders are not pleasure-seeking liars. After all, with their godlike ability, if they are just greedy for general enjoyment, whether it is fighting in the state religion, forming a society such as a brotherhood, or joining some companies, they can have a good harvest, and there is no need to risk being ravaged by cruel punishment and burning at the stake to start a cult.
Albert was originally an ambitious god, and in order to make himself strong, he taught himself many courses such as psychology and biology, and had a master's degree or higher.
It can be said that if he takes the right path, he will be enough to become a respected social talent, but he can't look down on the ordinary climbing road.
His father was a cobbler, which determined that if he took the mundane path of climbing, he would not be able to escape the fate of serving the nobility all his life.
What's more, even those nobles who have achieved fame and privileged wealthy people are nothing more than this in his opinion.
Its life is fragile, and it is subject to unspoken rules and more powerful people. Although it can make or break the life and death of many people, it is also possible to be splashed with blood by a thug for five steps, or die from a glass of poisoned wine or a bullet.
Of course, he also admits that the path of chaos is not easy to follow.
But he has always been arrogant and confident enough, and he has always believed that as long as he has time and a road, he can reach a height that most lives can only look up to.
Defection to Orson was only a temporary expedient measure for Albert.
For nearly two hundred years, he has mainly specialized in the transcendent subject of life, and in the end, it is natural that he can get more time, to put it bluntly, he is the pursuit of longevity.
At the beginning, he started a cult because he pooled the strength and wealth of the people and used it for his purposes.
Therefore, most of those cultists did not die well, and the cult itself was destroyed, but his own fate was okay, he never lacked flowers, and his research needs were basically enough.
But later, after becoming a chaotic hybrid, it was more than ten times more difficult to obtain transcendent resources than mortal resources.
And Albert clearly realized that if you want to live for a long time, it is best not to regard combat and killing as commonplace, after all, those who are good swimmers drown, and those who are good at fighting die.
So all things considered, he found that he needed a thigh.
Picking and choosing, he chose Olsen, who was only the boss of the newly rising Chaos War Gang at the time.
For a god, knowing people and communicating are all basic skills. It can be said that a qualified god stick is more than enough to be a personnel director in a large company.
And Albert has a good ability in this regard, and soon, he became an important assistant to Orson, and the position in the war gang is a military advisor-like figure.
And then it is developed with the growth of the pillars of talent. There is a little bit of the meaning of the ministers of the dragon, but it is not the king's ministers and sages, but the more straightforward use of each other.
However, both of them are measured people, Orson never makes excessive demands, and Albert always does his best to satisfy Orson when he is responsible. It can be described as a rare example of long-term cooperation among the forces of chaos.
This time, Orson gave Albert the same task as his area of expertise.
And Albert is indeed remarkable. The last time Orson secretly peeked into this realm, he sensed that Orson was bound to win Gradius. So he began to act cautiously that day, and successfully contacted the Chaos Followers of Gradius.
To be honest, Gradius's cult power is a bit of a no-show. That is, the individual two or three cult organizers, relying on themselves to be psionic awakeners, the sect is quite a bit of a reputation, but at most they are only doing some small deals with some low-level demons to be treated as Kai Zizai.
It can be said that if it weren't for the low level of human civilization on Gradius and the isolation of the imperial logistics system, this kind of cult organization, even if there is an official investigation and suppression led by the Inquisition, and there is no peer competition pressure, it is difficult to operate benignly, after all, it is an outdated trick.
Nowadays, the mainstream gameplay of cults is no longer a mouth cannon type of empty gloves and white wolves, but also pays attention to capital games.
Of course, it has not yet reached the point where the earth is free to share, burn money to cultivate the market and customer consumption habits, and then make money, but it has also reached the point where the audience does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles, and the mouth cannon speaks of the sky, and people are just hehe.
That's how Albert plays. It's just that the dry goods he shakes are not real money, but extraordinary things that ordinary people have no way to get if they have money.
The fruit of evolution is one of them.
It's actually a copycat version of 'Gift of the Brave'.
The Gift of the Brave is a gift from the evil gods, and when Horus rebelled and defected to the nine legions of Chaos, everyone received such a buff.
As the name suggests, as long as you are brave enough to enter the eyes of the evil god, then you will receive the blessing of the evil god.
Specifically, ordinary space marines have not been forced high enough to be marked and concerned by evil gods. Only heroic figures such as the commander of the first company are worthy of the attention of the evil gods similar to the mentality of ancient Roman emperors or speakers who admired the fighting of champion gladiators.
Even, even the attention to the gene prototype is mostly because the gene prototype is the creation of the emperor, which contains important information such as the emperor's cognition of all things in the universe and the concepts and ideas he upholds.
And the reason for paying attention to the emperor is not mainly because of his great achievements.
Even if the emperor can completely control the galaxy with his own strength, in the eyes of the four evil gods, it will not be enough, after all, the entire universe, there are not too many star groups like the galaxy, and the lord of the galaxy is only an office worker with a monthly income of 1K compared with a business giant with a monthly income of more than 100 million, the gap is too big.
What really made the four evil gods pay attention to the emperor was the essence of the emperor. In other words, he said that he represents the quality of mental power.
If the four evil gods are negative emotions, then the emperor is a positive emotion, which means that the earth worships God and teaches the seven virtues and the seven deadly sins.
It's just that whether it is the level or the birth factor, the emperor is still just a younger brother compared to the evil god.
The level doesn't say anything, after all, the one who stands for the emperor is only the Terran who can barely be called the overlord race of the galaxy today, and he is the positive light of the human race (not justice, justice is a little too narrow, and the positive direction includes almost all the good things that are recognized by mankind).
As for the statement of the birth factor. In the case of Slaanesh, Slaanesh was born at the cost of the dramatic rise and fall of the Eldarins, who were near wiped out.
But in essence, the negative emotional energy represented by Slaanesh has long existed in subspace.
Substituting the easy-to-understand gestation birth method, the negative emotional energy of the subspace that has existed for a long time is the seed, and the corrupt and degenerate (vertical) Eldarn is the egg, and at the cost of sacrificing this race, Slaanesh was born and became a cosmic-level existence (it has a certain relationship with the Eldarin's initial exploration of the cosmic level, but it has become unenterprising).
Looking at the emperor again, first of all, his core is not the positive emotional energy of the universe. Rather, it is the spirit born from the consciousness polymer of the ancient wizards who worried about the future of the species.
The reason why the emperor can represent the positive power of fighting with the four evil gods to a certain extent is because the strongest will of those wizards at the beginning is that human civilization is prosperous, which is a positive and progressive emotion in itself, and the emperor has inherited the wishes of the wizards to a great extent, so even though the guardian (and also experienced growth) for tens of thousands of years, he has witnessed too much dirtiness of human nature, and still maintains a positive attitude, believing that human beings are worthy of his dedication to protect, save, and guide.
This is in stark contrast to Kane.
Kane is also in the multiverse, and has witnessed the good, evil, beauty and ugliness of human beings countless times, but his starting point is not good, he is just an ordinary person, and he is also a little cynical because of his silk background. So he is constantly swaying, even now, the first label is definitely not a guardian of mankind, but self-improvement.
In general, from the perspective of seeds, the emperor is not the level of the son of the universe, but the greatest wish of all wizards, belonging to the positive light, which gives him a relatively distinct attribute.
Secondly, the 'egg' is not good and lacks a key ritual.
Why did Slaanesh use his ultimate move to kill countless Eldar spirits after he was born, and even devoured the gods of the eldar clan?
This operation, simple to understand, is the same as the birth of a chick, if there is no mother bird to feed, the eggshell is the first meal.
No power is obtained out of thin air, and it is unrealistic for a boy to save a billionaire from a hammer boy, and it must be an unconventional operation, and the sea of rivers and rivers can be swallowed by the crowd and self-interested, in order to stabilize the position.
Therefore, if the emperor wants to be truly powerful, sacrificing humans is one way.
Of course, the specific steps can't be like Slaane, people are villains, and killing or anything is not illegal. The emperor represents the positive, even if it is a sacrifice to human beings, it has to be a human application struggle, and finally tragically withdraw from the stage of history, in order to obtain enough positive spiritual energy needed by the emperor, and make the golden toilet into a real god seat in one fell swoop.
But in any case, the emperor is essentially the evil gods (the reverse is also true), and as the emperor of the human race, and the state religion is brainwashing, it can be said that if human civilization is not destroyed, it will be difficult for the emperor to be overthrown, even if the four evil gods can do it, the price they need to pay is also unbearable.
In addition to the thousands of years, in terms of the existence of the four evil gods, it is just the time for ordinary people to smoke a cigarette and drink a cup of tea, and it is normal for the evil gods to not decide how to deal with the emperor.
However, there are still some almost instinctive operations, such as starting with the genetic prototype.
Since the Emperor covets the power of the subspace, then don't blame them for taking advantage of this flaw to make trouble.
As a result, half of the most heroic combat force group of mankind, the Terran knights with the characteristics of the Warhammer 40K universe, defected overnight.
In Kane's eyes, the hands of the four evil gods are still quite beautiful.
Many imperial humans, when they talk about this, are how despicable the four evil gods are, the devil's lies, and the cunning deception, and the space marines are all blinded. Even some of the warband's secret texts record that Horus regained consciousness as he was dying, weeping bitterly, saying what have I done here!
In Kane's eyes, even if these are not nonsense, they do not poke at the essence of the problem, but at most they only record some superficial phenomena, and even mix too many subjective feelings in them.
The real problem is that things must be reversed.
How loyal we were, how reactionary we are now.
Spirituality (self-awareness) is not to be deceived.
If brainwashing is so omnipotent, is Kane still melancholy that he has been a puppet for countless years because he can't have both spirituality and loyalty?
So the root cause is not that Horus and other genetic protogens and space marines are blinded, but that there is a violent backlash caused by cognitive indoctrination.
It's just that in this universe, few people realize this, and most people only focus on the despicability and shamelessness of the betrayer.
And the 'Gift of the Brave' became notorious.
In someone's words: "Those tin cans have been fighting for a long time, and their heads have been killed." What kind of blessing is it to suddenly collapse and be replaced by a real demon? It's a curse, isn't it? It's ridiculous that you should die such a tragic death in the end!"
However, those who know and know know that becoming a demon is precisely the ultimate dream of Chaos believers. That means not only strong power, but also longevity. After all, the true god of the demon is in the subspace, and the death in the physical universe will only lose money, time, reputation, etc., as long as there is a life, there will always be a chance to make a comeback.
Generally speaking, the Gift of the Brave brings the blessings of the four evil gods, such as the blessing of terror plus strength and damage, Nurgle's blessing plus physique and stamina, Tzeentch's blessing plus wisdom and intelligence, and Slaanesh's blessing plus agility and perception.
And the Gift of the Brave itself, like an actor audition, is a method, a mechanism, and the evil gods are not directly involved.
This means that this method can be picked down and cracked.
Whether it is psionics or wizards, a considerable part of the sharp magic they use is made by simplifying the magic of the evil god into a spell in a similar way. So there's basically nothing wrong with saying that magic comes from demons.
Albert has a simplified copycat version of the Gift of the Brave, but he doesn't express it in a legal way, but uses things.
In this way, he can give full play to his expertise in biology, and to put it bluntly, after he changes it like this, the extraordinary version of the biochemical transformation effect will be available.
Transcendence is always closely associated with idealism, which is both a bad thing and a good thing.
And whether it's bad or good, it's all related to the success rate.
Extraordinary unreasonable, bringing uncertainty, as long as the transcendent is added, the technology part is done in place, and the success rate will also plummet.
But correspondingly, idealism means will, thought, is also an important factor in determining success or failure, as long as the new truth, pure thoughts, strong will, then can turn the impossible into possible, no matter how low the success rate can become almost five-five.
Albert, who understands human nature, is good at figuring out people's hearts, and has excellent language skills, quickly opened up the situation by virtue of his ability and the mainstream play of willing capital to do dry goods. What happened in this secret meeting place of a cult in a certain city was just a microcosm, and the whole of Gradius, the city where similar events were taking place, more than fifty, a storm was coming.
