241. Pray by name
Dungeon monitoring room.
Hades sat in silence, the sound coming from the monitor through his headphones, and he covered his eyes slowly, slowly.
On the other side of the room were the mourners of the death guards and the star-talkers, who were still standing, while several star-speaking old men were huddled against the wall, as if screaming silently.
Harder looked at Ugo hesitantly, and the undertaker's lampbearer gave the recruit a stab in the eye to keep him from being overly curious.
But. Even if Harder is a trainee undertaker. You can feel the flickering psionic atmosphere in the whole room.
And the source of all this is-
Harder glanced at Commander Hades in the center of the room, the Commander's strong anti-psionic contamination was too conspicuous.
And the commander seems to have some . Get out of hand?
Harder swallowed, and when the Commander went to look for them, Harder could still realize that the Lord's abilities were not as precarious as they were now. So what's going on?
Like a sculpture, Hades covered his eyes, as if unwilling to accept reality.
It wasn't until the faint stabbing sound of the radio waves died away that Hades still maintained that posture for a long time before letting out a silent sigh.
Harder waited nervously, something serious must have happened, otherwise the commander wouldn't have been so serious.
For the first time, Hades felt the embarrassment that even he couldn't handle.
He locked the two men together and put the monitor on them just to find out what they were thinking in private.
But now, he regrets it.
"He needs believers", "His way is not alone", "That is His will] -
Countless words, the sword unsheathed, and struck Hades's pitiful, weak and helpless heart with precision.
They even thought about the initial organizational structure, who gave them the confidence?
What the hell is this??? This kind of middle two to explosive remarks!
A mouthful of old blood stalks in his throat, complex and subtle emotions buzzed around Hades like flies.
To use an inappropriate analogy. There is a subtle feeling that the nose boogers that I picked out are framed and praised by others.
He hasn't yet. He hadn't been so embarrassed before
No, Hades needs to be calm, he can't afford to waste too much time emotionally.
Hades pulled out his command board and glanced at the to-dos above.
It's good, he calmed down.
Hades began to revisit the matter.
Based on the grave keeper's report, the information he had collected from Kirkland, and the confessions of both, Hades could understand [about being seen as a god].
The first is Kirkland, a sage from Mars who naturally has a natural inclination towards religion.
Coupled with the fact that Hades really gnawed two mouthfuls of the Void Dragon, Hades was able to understand the sage's fanaticism.
In fact, there were already signs in Grill, but this only started after they witnessed the Void Dragon Lightning released by Hades.
After all, in a sense, the Void Dragon is the god of all machines, and it can't be said that they are wrong.
And the empire is also very tolerant of the Mechanical, as long as they don't cross the line, believe in something, these oil guys can argue with anything.
After all, the structure of the Mechanic Sect itself is loose, and Mars does not have such a strong degree of control over other casting worlds, and everyone is active as believers in the God of Machines.
There have even been things where Mars wants to cast the world's tribute machinery and cast the world's disobedience.
But each forges the doctrine of the world. It can only be called varied.
So as long as you don't touch the red line of scientific research, no one cares about it.
Therefore, Hades only warned them not to go overboard, not to say it directly, and at the same time placed the grave keeper as a supervisor.
Gree, their prayers, Hades himself did not receiveβ
Before meeting Margot, Hades didn't think he could receive it, and even responded to the so-called "prayer".
Because the oil guy had been praying there for a long time, Hades didn't hear a sound.
So aside from looking at the Mechanics and not letting them be hammered by the Empire, Hades didn't care that much about the matter itself.
But now it was different, and Hades realized that prayer could really be received.
The nature of the whole thing changed immediately.
It involves subspace, and Hades is careless about it.
Now, the first thing Hades wants to confirm is, what are these [prayers], why did he not receive the [prayers] of the Gree Mechanical, but he received the [prayers] of Margot?
The second is that Hades needs to put restraint on these two fanatics, even though the end of this matter can be two gunshots
But Hades knows that blocking is better than sparse, and even if there is no Kirkland and Margo, as long as Hades's black domain is still there, and the [response] characteristic is still there, then this kind of thing will appear sooner or later.
If Hades didn't care about this, these words that circulated in private would have erupted sooner or later, and now he still has the energy to care, but what about the Great Rebellion?
Rather than letting it grow wildly, it is better to gather together to regulate and contain it, and wait until the right time to make plans.
After all, the initial understanding of the [Prayer] matter is that the debuff can be lifted, although Hades himself is more disgusted, but if there is really such a beneficial and harmless behavior
Alas, pray on the other side, and you won't lose a piece of meat.
Finally, Hades needs to be clear about the boundaries and consequences of his current actions, after all, the current version of the Son is still the Imperial Truth.
The original intention of Imperial Truth is to protect ignorant human beings from the pollution of subspace, and at the same time, it also plays a certain role in curbing the sources of power in subspace.
The emperor forbade religion because there were more people praying for religion, and it was true that a god would be created in the subspace.
Or it is to [forcibly ascend to God] for something that already exists.
And when the number of believers increased, it became true.
If a believer thinks that God is a tyrant, then even if he is not in the first place, he will eventually move closer to that direction under the baptism of the power of faith.
Hades is also afraid of this, but according to his own subspace projection. There is a high probability that the power of the believers will not be able to shape him, and he can only be swallowed by Hades.
He died and needed to worry that he couldn't let the power of faith too much, otherwise he would grow too fast, and he would send it when the restraint was gone.
There is no need to worry about this piece in a short period of time, just the two of them, and if you are more conservative, there may be one hundred and eighty of them in the Pluto Dog, and it is not as much as Hades to eat the spiritual energy brought by the Lord of Randan.
Therefore, the subspace impact that faith itself may bring is relatively small, and you only need to consider the attitude of the empire -
Of course, Hades refers in case it is discovered.
Hades knew that as long as he didn't do something too magical, neither the empire nor the emperor would turn a blind eye to this kind of behavior.
From the Cult of the Mechanicus of Mars, to the God-Emperor of Loga, the Bal Faith of the Angel St. Giles, and the full father of the Wolf King Ruth.
Only the Whisperers jumped too much and were hammered.
The rest of the religions, as long as they are within reasonable limits, are not considered by the Empire.
Hades thought about it for a moment, and the extent and scale of his current style of wine.
Belch. I guess no one can see it.
In the brainstorming of Hades, he slowly sorted out the way.
He sighed, got up, and naturally ignored the group of Startalkers who looked like they were about to collapse.
"Bring those two over."
Hades once again blocked out the strange words that came out of his head, [His way is not alone], [That's Him].
In the interrogation room, Hades sat silently in the main seat, the line between light and darkness was so clear that the commander was in complete darkness, only the red light of his left eye was dazzling.
Margo and Kirkland meekly sat in the interrogation chair, waiting for Hades to speak.
Cold, emotionless words rang out,
I declare in one end that I am not God, no matter what you think."
"Butβ"
"If you swear to be completely loyal to me, to hide nothing from me, and to carry out the commands I give you without any misinterpretation."
"Well, then, I can get you to keep your point of view and assign you some specific tasks."
Hades looked at the two men with a blank expression, and both of them could not hide the excitement in their eyes.
"Lord Hades, listen to your wishes."
Margo swallowed, and she solemnly pronounced her vows, though there was no act to decorate her language, which made her feel a little hollow,
She subconsciously felt that this place was too shabby, everything was too shabby, but her reason told her that things should be as they should be, and that Hades was not a person who liked heavy luxury.
"I, Margot, swear complete allegiance to the Immortal, not to hide anything from you, and to obey your orders in full."
Kirkland repeated, utterly mechanical, unemotional.
The Immortal in the dark is motionless,
"I hope you will do what you oath, and if you break your back, then the judgment of the sickle will never be absent."
"It is our honor to have never been absent from the discipline, my lord."
After listening to the words of the believers, the gods did not express any opinions.
"Okay, then now, I need you to pray."
οΌοΌ
These words shocked Margo and Kirkland, who thought they would accept everything.
Hades handed over a piece of paper, what appeared to be parchment torn from the foundry, stained with engine oil.
The eyes of the two looked over, and there were only a few words, all of which were prayers.
[For Hades.] γ
[For the sake of Ohm Messiah.] γ
[For the Death Guard.] γ
[For death.] γ
[In the name of the Immortal King of Death.] γ
[In the name of the Hades King Ohm Messiah.] γ
γ. γ
Margo blinked in surprise,
"My lord, what is this?"
Hades looked at her,
"At least for me, religion doesn't need to have a veil of mystery."
"How?"
Hades looked at Ugo, the lamp holder closing his eyes tightly, feeling the fluctuations of the subspace, the sparks of psionic energy jumping around him, and Hader standing by to assist in this psionic dive.
"Commander, please wait."
Hades acquiesced to the lampbearer's request, and he turned back to look through the single glass in the room at the two praying in the room.
Whispered prayers came from the headphones, and no one but Hades could hear the interrogation room.
It didn't have to be a psionic, Hades himself could feel the prayers pointing at him.
As for why it was only the lampbearers, because the startalkers were so scared that they begged Hades to let them go.
These people, who were tormented and dying by their jobs, could no longer accept the painful task of standing by Hades' side.
Is it so scary that you turn out?
Hades thought helplessly.
"My lord, our senses are completely immersed in the subspace, your projection is too much"
The Starwhisperer stopped talking, cowering and bowing his head.
What could Hades do, knowing that his subspace projection was terrifying, he had no choice but to let them go.
According to Ugo's interpretation, Hades' own subspace projection was indeed a blurry and deep black, with a hazy golden light surrounding him.
"Isn't that scary?" Hades asked,
"But that's not all,"
"Sight is just the most superficial metaphor, and the psykers immersed in the subspace have far more acute senses than the five senses."
And on these senses. Hades has a projection that no psyker would want to look at.
Hades could feel that Ugo was also holding back his disgust, because just now Ugo and Harder were originally opening the perspective together, but Harder was direct. Well, he swallowed it back.
Hades acted as if he hadn't seen anything.
As if sensing something, Hades turned around and continued to wait for Ugo.
Ugo opened his eyes, his sudden shift from subspace to the physical world made him feel slightly uncomfortable, and Hades was clearly patiently waiting for the lamp-bearer to readjust to the place.
"How?"
Ugo's eyes gleamed in his sunken sockets, he was afraid of Hades, but he deftly restrained his fear.
Hades knew he was picking a suitable wording,
"Lord Hades, there is indeed a faint Mars approaching you, at the first, fifth, and sixth times."
Hades nodded, letting him see what they were
[For Hades.] γ
[In the name of the Immortal King of Death.] γ
[In the name of the Hades King Ohm Messiah.] γ
They are all prayers with Hades, that is, Hades.
Hades blinked, almost in line with his own speculation.
Because he himself does not have the so-called [authority], except for his own [Hades], no other words and emotions can reach him.
In other words, you must name the surname and be the [Hades], otherwise it will not work.
When people are thinking, if he thinks about killing and blood, it's that the torture will get this power, or he feels angry. In short, it is not necessary to name names.
And most of the time, the power of faith obtained by the four gods of subspace is the kind that is not named, as long as a vague emotion and concept is fine.
For example, the God Emperor in the original book can provide the God Emperor with the power of faith as long as the conditions such as [Human] and [For Mankind] are met in the minds of believers.
In this way, there is a difference between Hades and these subspace existences.
The previous mechanical prayer failed, and there was a high probability that they did not shout [Hades] (of course, Hades would never let them shout), but instead shouted [Ohm Messiah], so naturally Hades couldn't feel it.
Hades thought, now that he knew he had to name names.
And according to the experiment, if the name is accompanied by other concepts and emotions, it seems to be coming from his side.
"Ugo, can you be more descriptive? Is there a difference in how these sparks behave? β
Ugo briefly remembered for a moment, and spoke,
"The first psionic fire is directly into your black realm, but the fifth and sixth times, the speed is a little slow, and more like. You devoured them. β
Hades thought, that is, the power of faith with other concepts. Maybe because of the concept on it, you will resist coming to him?
Does this depend on the devotion of the believer's faith and the degree of understanding of this feeling?
Of course, Hades doesn't need this for the time being, as long as he knows that he must pray to his name, it is enough.
Hades spoke again,
"Ugo, can you cast a certain psionic control spell on those two people?"
The man in charge of the lamp looked at Hades in some surprise,
"Lord Hades, do you want to?"
Hades smiled,
"It's just an experiment."
One more today. Stop changing tomorrow.,The old reason.,Or the exam has to be sent.,I also want to write a bunch of bangs too fast to get the pace.,But I can't code it myself!! Uh-ah-ah, uh-uh!! Uh-uh-uh-uh-ah!!
