Chapter 175, Aaron, the Sword Bearer
ps: Thank you for seeing this, the Son of Heaven kneels and thanks.
"I have revealed to you my origins."
The emperor pointed to the hut where he once lived: "I was born here, my uncle murdered my father out of jealousy, and it is easy for me, as an eternal and a gifted psionic, to reveal the truth about this murder. ”
"Through psionic powers, I see the truth......"
Aaron followed from behind, and he saw the scene where the emperor's uncle had died of psychic heart failure, and the emperor, a boy with a face devoid of joy or sorrow, stood not far away, silently watching what was happening, and this act was a matter of course for the emperor, who had murdered his father, and who naturally had the right to stop his uncle's heart beating.
"You chose an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Aaron whispered.
"It was the beginning of it all, and it made me aware of the weaknesses that exist in the depths of the human soul." The Emperor stepped over the land of Divine Terra, and he looked into the distance: "Mankind always cries out for justice, but justice cannot be achieved through nature...... Someone needs to enforce it, and what I am implementing is the earliest law of human beings, 'homomorphic revenge'. ”
"This, even if it is the origin of the law, is the origin of the concept of justice."
"Since then, the concepts of order, law, and domination have gradually replaced the customs of primitive human society and have begun to come to the fore." The emperor bowed slightly: "I also understand that human beings need rulers, laws, guidance and tempering, and strong order, and human beings are a race that can only be strong if they are united." ”
"So, Your Majesty, you are discussing the reign." Aaron said with a slight sarcasm: "Is this a topic that can be touched?" ”
"In my early years, I founded many organizations, many religions, many countries." The Emperor did not answer Aaron's slightly sarcastic question, and he wandered through the most primitive river basin of mankind: "But I soon discovered that no matter how good the order I have established, no matter what standard of moral standards I have set, no matter what kind of laws I have left behind, in the end every organization cannot avoid the cyclical law of birth, development, growth, decline, and destruction, because this process requires 'people' to carry it out!" ”
"The first priority of any ruler is to maintain his dominance, and even if the pioneers were indeed morally noble, they would be inclined to leave more power and wealth and status to their children, and even if a priest dedicated his body and mind to the gods, he would involuntarily try to interpret the scriptures from his own point of view, and over time everything would become unrecognizable."
"To use the analogy of your faction in the kingdom, it's very simple, when an organization is full of people who are orderly and good, then the power of that organization will be unstoppable...... But as long as one of the lawbreakers joins, the entire organization becomes his paradise. ”
"Any organization has an instinct to expand, and over time, this reverse elimination will eventually tear the organization and the rule apart."
"This is human nature, Your Majesty." Aaron agrees: "There is the most selfish side of human nature, and how difficult it is for human beings to overcome their selfishness. ”
"Humans make the same mistakes all the time."
"That's exactly why I can't beat Draconion, Ra." The emperor looked at Aaron: "This murder, and my murder of my uncle, are both homomorphic revenge, and likewise, selfishness. ”
Aaron understood, completely understood, he understood the reason why the Emperor could not defeat the Primordial Demon.
At that time, the emperor still had human nature, and Draconion also absorbed the selfishness of his human nature, and he could easily break through the emperor's defenses, ignoring his supreme power, and piercing through the body of the human lord.
He looked at the all-knowing black boy, took a deep breath of the air in the two river valleys, and said in a trembling voice, "Is this why you let Ra reach the kingdom through the net?" Your Majesty? A prison? ”
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" The Emperor's voice was cold and merciless: "As long as you are trapped here, Draconion is trapped here, the destruction of the Human Empire does not exist, and my nemesis does not exist, then humanity can still survive, pull, you have done a good job on this." ”
Draconion's golden jailer is myself.
Aaron got it again.
The kingdom Tianyu is under the control of the god ao, he is allowed to enter but not to leave, he stays here, Draconion naturally stays here, the hands of the four gods of chaos can't reach in, the human empire and the emperor are safe!
If he fails to become a god, he will inevitably perish, and Draconion may be wiped out, or he may find a new host, but it is trapped in the kingdom!
If Aaron succeeds in becoming a god, it will be even simpler, he will be a god in the kingdom, Aaron's basic plate is in the kingdom, he has no grudges with the emperor and the human empire, and there is no entanglement of interests, he has nothing to do with Draconion, he has nothing to do, he spends a huge amount of divine power to cross the crystal wall system, cross the outer plane, cross the multiverse wormhole, and run to the 40k universe to participate in the subspace chaos?
"Good design, Your Majesty." Aaron clapped his hands and couldn't help but admire: "There was once a saying that you are the chosen person of the Lord of All Changes? ”
"Yes." The emperor put it succinctly: "I used to ...... Like you, the four gods chose me, and Tzeentch expected me to bring about a dramatic change in the universe, and I did it until the four gods realized that I was not their puppet. ”
Shock.
Aaron found that in his conversation with the emperor, in addition to shock, it was even more shocking.
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
"But, it doesn't stop there." The Emperor continued, and the Lord of Mankind said slowly: "In the long course of practice, I have come to realize that the collectivity of mankind can only come from one reason - a powerful foreign enemy. ”
"If you need a strong foreign enemy, you've got four, Your Majesty." Aaron put away his shock, and he smiled: "It's a pity that the network failed, and we can't isolate the influence of the subspace through the network, so we can't really suppress the four gods of chaos. ”
"The completion of the network channel can lead to the destruction of the four gods of chaos, and it is purely a lie." The Emperor shook his head: "But everyone needs this lie, otherwise this war will be too desperate." ”
"And you, Ra, if you can become the fifth god of chaos, then you will greatly divide the energy and attention of the four gods of chaos, in the same way, you will not be so violent, you will not be so negative, you will continue to exist as a strong enemy of humanity, your presence will not only keep humanity united, but also reduce the pressure on the empire." The Emperor said softly, "This is my plan. ”
"Train me to become the Fifth God of Chaos." Aaron said in a deep voice: "In order to survive, I will definitely try to try to become a god, then your plan will be achieved." ”
"But aren't you afraid that one day, I'll go to Holy Terra with Draconion in my hand and kill you myself?" Aaron's attitude was equally cold, and he realized that he was only a pawn of the emperor for the time being.
However, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and the Lord of Humanity had no superfluous expression, he just sighed, neither sighed, nor chuckled, only regret: "If you can travel through countless dimensional spaces, pass through the multiverse wormhole and still kill me on the Golden Throne, it can only prove the fate of mankind, that's all." ”
Aaron was slightly stunned: "Your Majesty? ”
"And this is the ultimate goal I have set for you, to become a sword bearer! Pull! The Emperor suddenly showed an angry expression, and his falcon-like gaze focused on the forbidden army.
"In thirty thousand years of practical observation, I have long been aware of this problem, and after any pioneer becomes a ruler, they are canned yellow peaches - it is only a matter of time before they spoil."
"Humanity needs a sword-wielder to hang the sword of Damocles above the ruler's head forever."
"I wanted to be this sword bearer, but circumstances didn't allow it...... If I don't show up, Terra will be destroyed, and humanity will be destroyed. ”
"So now, I'm handing over that responsibility to you, Aaron Salion."
"If one day, I have also become a shackle that hinders humanity's progress, then you will be in charge of the sword! Release the last legacy I left for humanity – my death! ”
"In addition to being an Primordial Demon, Draconion is also a very, very powerful weapon, possessing the power to hunt gods."
"Now, I'm going to teach you how to master and unleash this power." The Emperor was not about to continue the conversation, and the Lord of Humanity interrupted Aaron's attempt to speak: "Look, I'll only demonstrate it once. ”
"I name this power - Death of Destiny!"
The sun sets, and in the illusion of the Two Rivers Valley, the golden-armored giant and the handsome child of chaos conduct a strange training.
For a long time, for a long time.
The Emperor looked at Aaron, who had mastered his new powers, and the Lord of Humanity nodded in satisfaction.
His figure gradually disintegrated, strands of golden silk dissipating from the emperor's divine face: "Remember, Aaron, you have always been your own master, haven't you?" Do what you think is right, that's my last hope for you. ”
"Your Majesty, the situation is already like this, what should be done about the future of mankind?" Aaron sensed the primordial evil in his body, and according to the emperor's instructions, he was figuring it in the shape of a sword: "How can I use this power?" ”
The illusion in the valley of the two rivers faded away, the dark underworld returned, and the smell of decay and dampness once again appeared in the air.
At the moment of disappearance, there was also a trace of confusion in the emperor's black omniscient eyes, and a word that Aaron had never heard remained in the air.
"I don't know."
The Lord of Mankind does not know this either.
The emperor vanished, leaving Aaron silent in place.
Rings of silver eight-pointed stars rose around the Sons of Chaos' body.
His Chaos God Venerable Warlock career level has risen to the peak of the elite level, and he is only one step away from the master level.
Draconion, the Primordial Demon, the power of the gods to hunt!
Death of fate! The creatures it hunts will be given the concept of true "death", which is the nemesis of divinity, god-like power, and even god-likeness, true godhood.
However, what Aaron didn't notice was that just when all his attention was focused on sensing his new power, in the corner of the underground temple, a naked woman with a long sword, brilliant silver hair reaching to the ground, her skin as black as the middle of the night, and no clothes flashed.
She stuck a sword into the ground and disappeared into darkness.
…………
By the time Aaron returned, the group had just gone through a two-hour break.
"Where have you been, Aaron?" Eleanor was very aware of every corner of Aaron's body, and when she saw that Aaron had finally returned, she complained, "If you don't come back, I'll have to look for you." ”
"Wait, your Warlock class has improved?" Eleanor then said in surprise.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were on Aaron, Robert and Varro were amazed, Maximian congratulated, and Disma scolded the talent of this junior...... Reluctantly gave him a thumbs up to congratulate him.
"After the Great War, there will be understanding." Aaron said with a smile, his mind still reminiscent of the Emperor's divine face.
"I knew you could, Aaron!" Eleanor was also overjoyed, Miss Priest raised her sleeve and sniffed her body, and after confirming that the cleaning just now had washed away the smell of orc blood and orc brains, she grabbed Aaron's arm: "Just now, my lord has been here!" ”
Suren Mama? Aaron's mouth opened wide in surprise.
"Yes, the incarnation of our Lord has come, and she has healed our wounds and blessed each of us." Maximian clasped his hands together, and he said gratefully, "She said you were busy, I didn't expect us to wait so long." ”
"Enough rest?" Aaron stretched his body as he said to the group, "We'd better get out of here as soon as possible." ”
Everyone had no opinion, Suren's incarnation gave them some treatment, except for Disma and Maximian, who were really injured, Varro, Eleanor, and Robert have fully recovered their health, and their cousin's two front teeth and the bridge of his nose have also been healed.
Suren also gave everyone in the team a divine blessing for three days except Aaron.
It can only be said that Suren Ma Ma is at least very interesting to the people around Aaron.
The group quickly got up and left along the path given by Su Lun.
Halfway through the underground tunnel, the silver moon emblem on Eleanor's body suddenly flickered, and Miss Priest found a drow sword stuck in the ground, which was shrouded in a dazzling moon halo.
"Huh?" Eleanor came to the sword, and Miss Priest sensed some kind of call.
"A sword, in this place?" Disma was also interested, and the second senior carefully identified it for a while, then nodded: "This is an extraordinary weapon." ”
All eyes were on Eleanor, and Aaron smiled, "Since this is my lord's will, Eleanor, you can take it." ”
Miss Priest nodded, and she began to call for Suren's instructions.
The sword was a transcendent weapon offered to the Dark Maiden by a drow Shadow Dancer, and it contained the divine power of the Dark Maiden, and the priest followed Suren's instructions and gently sliced her fingertips open and smeared her own blood on the blade.
The sword began to glow, and all the intricate elven writing on it appeared, and it slowly rose and was held in Eleanor's hand.
Miss Priest was inexplicably given a transcendent weapon.
"I didn't think you still have the blood of Drow?" Aaron quipped.
"Hmph~ You have the blood of Zhuoer! Your whole family has the blood of Drow! Eleanor said viciously, Miss Priest clearly had a bad impression of the Drow race.
However, Aaron didn't make fun of his girlfriend anymore, he looked at Eleanor's slightly pointed ears and sighed.
He had just asked the Emperor for a blessing, but it could not be used on Eleanor, who could only use it for pure-bloods, not to mention that Eleanor was still a priest of Suren.
After that, there was no more talk, and the group walked for an hour, and finally left the underworld.
Coming out of a cave under a waterfall, the setting sun made several people can't help but protect their eyes.
They didn't have time to think, and there was already a clear clash of blades in the distance.
"There's a fight?"
Disma immediately turned over and jumped onto the treetops, and the second senior glanced lazily, his face changed drastically.
"Aaron! Fast! ”
"It's Renard! They're in trouble! ”
