After the fleet of the Dark Angels came to this star field, in order to avoid suspicion and the war had come to an end, the Pluto Dog unit was transferred to the main star of Just to assist the Mechanics in resuming production here.

Although the Hounds were the most inconspicuous of mortal auxiliaries and only played a supporting role on the battlefield, they were allowed to know the overall direction of the war.

This war is almost over.

The Garaspas, who had fought in the first war of their lives, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and although the tasks assigned to the hounds were still completed on time, or even ahead of schedule, the people tried to start having fun with their lives.

Compared to the humble dueling cages before, the hounds are obviously interested in the stories that have no head and no tail, and the more they pass on, the more mysterious they are, and they have a lot to look back on and share after two wars.

Among the series of rumors that sound unreliable, there is one rumor that particularly attracts the curiosity of these mortals-

【Hades】

In the spare time after the end of the construction work, dusty people hugged nutritious porridge, chatted and rested together, and when the atmosphere reached a climax, there would always be someone who suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously,

"Have you heard of that, Hades?"

If he was lucky, and none of the people he worked with knew about it, he would be able to add fuel to the rumor.

If he's unlucky and someone knows about it, he'll have to share it with his companions.

"It is said that . I mean, it's said that there is something special about the Death Guard. ”

"That's it, that's, we've all met, the commander who taught us to drive tanks at that time."

He raised his hand and waved it pointedly,

"Let's say it first, I believe in the truth of the empire, and every dog believes in the truth of the empire, this is a rumor, a rumor."

"Oh, just say it, don't pretend."

"Ahem—"

The man pretended to cough mysteriously again, and kept his voice to a minimum.

"Actually. That adult is a god! ”

"Phew—"

The crowd made disdainful voices, not believing what the man said,

Is it God? That's, and while those Space Marines would really be called angels by some ignorant people, the Greyhounds who have been educated in Death Guard know that Space Marines are humans too.

"You might as well say that the Legion Elder is a god, so I still believe in you, I can't make it up."

Seeing that everyone refuted him, the man was not in a hurry, continued to be unhurried, and said in a pinched throat,

"I have evidence here, and I can verify the authenticity for you now."

"Listen, as long as you have no distractions in your hearts, and have reverence, and then silently recite [Praise Hades] in your hearts, there will really be a response!"

"First of all, you have to think with your head, with your heart, and you have to think about the adult."

After the man finished speaking, he folded his arms with a look of anger, waiting for the crowd to try, you must know that he was also startled when he verified it at that time, the feeling of powerlessness and depression that seemed to penetrate deep into the bone marrow

His companions were skeptical of the man who was confident, and there were doubts about the "real and fake" in the crowd, but anyway, now that there was nothing to do, many people began to try to pray to the king with curiosity and doubt.

Idleness is always the first source of motivation for human beings to try stupid rumors.

In less than a minute, someone began to exclaim, they opened their eyes in fear and excitement, looked around at a loss, and became confused again after confirming that they were safe.

"Look, it's true."

The man said with a look of expression that this rumor could be verified immediately, which is why it could spread the farthest and be the easiest to share.

"Wait. But if you say that if He is really God, why do I feel disgust, and what should not be to make him more joyful and healthy? ”

"No, it won't. That grown-a-man is."

"You don't know."

The man continued to sell Guan Zi and said,

"I've really seen a woman who believed in him, a woman in the 037 regiment, and she said that this sense of powerlessness can drive away the psionic control of the alien race."

"And she said that the adult's name [Hades] has a corresponding god in the old Gothic."

"[Hades] is in charge of the underworld and death, so if we living people go to worship Him, of course it will feel like death!"

Then, seeing the crowd staring at him curiously, the man could not help but talk nonsense again, and poured out all his brains that he had made up and what he had heard from other places.

Because it can be verified in real time, the rumors of the [Hades] are spreading more and more within the Underworld, although most people listen to it as gossip, and after hearing it, they will throw this rumor into the corner.

But the huge base of the Grey Dogs is here, and some of the Grey Dogs who fought against Ran Dan and broke free from the Randan people's mental control by mistake. That's not how this rumor was treated.

Some of them began to gather spontaneously to discuss their experiences and share their speculations and hypotheses—until a sage's eyes caught sight of the hounds.

Rest camp of the 037 regiment.

The coarse cloth tent set up in the wasteland of the mining area was dimly like night, and the excessively dry air diluted the smell of sweat in it.

It's free time, people mostly go outside to blow water, or train on their own, and no one wants to stay in this tent soaked in sweat.

It's good, it's a rare quiet moment for her, and she's sitting on her stand bed, sorting out what she knows now.

At present, all the conjectures she has constructed are based on a solid iron law, that is-

When you call out to that Lord in the name of Hades, your mind will be reactive.

Other than that, she had the only knowledge she had, and she tried to borrow some books from the archives that the Death Watch had opened to the hounds, but the barren High Gothic language made it difficult for her.

To be sure, the presence of Hades and Grim Reaper among the Death Guards, coupled with the various death cultures that have long been prevalent in the Legion, made her think that her conjecture was not so abrupt.

She pondered trying to dig up more evidence from her memory, from the original practice of the Greyhound tank

The adult had appeared, but all that remained in her memory was that the adult, who was obviously taller than the others, and everything else was blurred.

On the ground next to the tent door, the light flickered.

"Hello, do you have at least 3.5 standard Terra-hours right now?"

A flash of scarlet flashed directly into her sight, and she almost stabbed the dagger in shock.

In fact, she did the same, but the Sage easily grabbed her arm with his mechanical arm and held it at the same time.

"A quick introduction to yourself, the Martian Sage of the Death Guard, Kirkland."

She blinked in surprise, normally a Mecha sage would never be polite to a mortal, but Kirkland Sage did show superhuman politeness and patience,

So she said cautiously,

"037th Regiment, Margot of Garraspa."

"Okay, nice to meet you, Margo, without further ado, I need your conjecture about Hades."

"Huh?"

Kirkland's sage's one-shot question directly clouded Margo's mind, and she wasn't sure for a moment if the sage was joking, or if she had misheard,

"My lord? It's just a little conjecture of my own, and the empire is not"

"Nope."

The sage rejected her cleanly, the chain of his shoulders turning, and Kirkland pressed his face tightly against it, as if trying to make Margo stare into his metal eyes.

The metal eyes, like dead things, glowed with an eerie red light in the depths.

Margo felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end, but the Sage grabbed her arm to prevent her from backing down.

"I've seen demons."

The sage's electronic voice without any emotional ups and downs sounded,

"There are demons in this world, so naturally there will be angels and gods."

"That Lord, He knows that demons exist, He knows them, He kills them."

Margo tilted her face uncomfortably, and she nearly twisted her waist back to keep her away from the sage.

"But my lord, the brave can also kill demons."

Kirkland Sage suddenly released the mechanical arm that held Margo imprisoned,

"No, I was wrong."

"The correct narrative is that He destroyed them in an instant, He knew the laws of the Silent Machine, He trimmed, He used, He knew the rules, He was the rules."

"He is a god, and after my closer look, I am sure that my conjecture fits my narrow definition of a god."

"Whether it's the power that can resist demons, or the wisdom behind the appearance."

"After He chose me as the first observer, I recognized this fact and repented of my previous foolishness."

"So I began to delve deeper into the path He had guided."

Kirkland's eyes lit up with a strange red light, as if to make Margo stare at his face, and his neck twisted into an eerie arc,

"Now, tell me, mortal, why did you also discover the [Hades]?"

The oppression on the sage's body almost formed a substantial wall, and Margo felt like she could barely breathe, but she felt a hint of anger at the sage's actions.

Margo pursed a few words out of her pursed lips,

"Because I prayed to Him, and He answered me."

The feeling of oppression disappeared in an instant, and she only felt the faint smell of engine oil,

"That's the only way?"

The sage stood there dumbfounded,

"For me, that's enough."

She said coldly, and at the same time withdrew her hand, a deep mark had been strangled on her arm,

Kirkland sages wondered why the sages' prayers were never answered.

Is it because they are not religious enough? Kirkland needed more details.

The sage soon spoke again,

"Margot, tell me what you prayed."

"[For Hades], that's it."

"Gone?"

"No, but it has to be religious."

The sage stopped talking, and Margo knew Kirkland had begun to pray—

The sage instantly became a spirit, as if he had tripped.

"That's right! That's it! This feeling! It's Him! ”

He rushed up and took Margo's hand, rocking it up and down, "You've found your way to Him." ”

Why didn't the previous Mechachanistic prayers work? Kirkland seems to have realized something, and the subject of their prayer is not Hades, but the God of All Machines, or the Ome Messiah.

That is, behind the surface of ecstasy, Kirkland pondered the possibility of this fact.

Don't tell the other sages about it yet.

Half an hour later, Kirkland and Margo sit on her bed, and Kirkland begins to show her his collection of Hades videos, Hades quotes, and why Hades is a god.

When dealing with the Dark Angel, Hades always felt strange, and some small sensations kept disturbing him, like catkins sliding through his skin in the darkness, and disappearing into the air lightly.

It's a strange feeling, you can't concentrate on it, and once you sink your mind, these small feelings disappear.

Only when you are unconscious, can you faintly perceive that something is wrong.

What the hell is going on.?

Hades thought about it, but he couldn't find a reasonable explanation, so he could only choose to give up, he checked the place where he usually stayed, and asked the lamp holder to come over to see if it was psionic energy, but in the end he found nothing.

Hades could only think to himself, he wouldn't be cursed and stabbed villain, right?

But after cautiously observing for a while, Hades found that there were no other ominous callups at present, except for those that would make him feel hairy, so Hades put the matter on hold for the time being.

Although sometimes he is approving documents, he suddenly feels that someone calls him, and he looks up and sees that there is no one in the room

If Hades weren't a macho man who could blow up seven female ghost heads with one punch, he would really be scared.

This mindless affair continued for a while, until a document was handed to Hades' desk.

Hades looked at the latest information reported by the grave keeper and raised his eyebrows, this is the grave keeper's report on the ideological guidance of the Grey Dog, and it is marked with a big chapter, which means that it is directly approved by Hades.

He turned the first page in silence,

The overall psychological state of the dogs who joined the production mission recovered well, and the troops spontaneously began to conduct entertainment, which alleviated the post-war anxiety of some personnel to a certain extent, but some rumors began to spread in the name of entertainment."

"In this regard, the grave keepers have suppressed the rumors and replaced the entertainment method in the form of a reward-based dueling cage."

Well. It's not bad, it's better to be sparse than blocked, but rumors or something, that is, a mouthful of gossip, in the case of the stability of the legion and sufficient supplies, just chat.

Hades thought silently, picked up the cup and drank water by the way, and continued to read-

One of the most widely circulated statements is Hades."

Hades choked out a mouthful of water, wait, what's that?

He frowned and hurriedly turned to the next page, and the words "god", "response", "prayer" and other profanities popped up before his eyes.

In short, it's panicked.

The good news is that it's a rumor, and not many people take it seriously.

But. Some of the contents in it made Hades very concerned.

Countless thoughts and speculations flashed through Hades's mind, and as the owner of the Black Domain, he really didn't know how the Black Domain would respond to others.

Is there really such an outrageous thing that prayer can be answered? Why, then, did Hades not see the sages mention the [response] of the previous prayers in the Mechonism.

Hades continued to flip through the report, and on the last page of the report, there was an arrest warrant, and among the targets was the guy who needed permission, and the grave keeper applied for Hades' approval.

Hades blinked and signed his name on the paper without hesitation.

The most stressful exams are over, and the normal update is back :)

I owe the summer vacation to make up
