Hades admits that his brain went blank for a moment at that moment.

Under the huge onslaught of information, Hades' instinct began to scream.

He spent a moment thinking about escaping from here and then how to inform Motarian and Killiman, and when he realized it was impossible, he began to think about how to blow up with the Emperor again - but he also realized that he couldn't deal with the Emperor now, even if he blew himself up.

And after a moment of logic getting out of control, Hades returned to his sanity, carefully and unobtrusively maintaining his previous movements and expressions, but he could feel his heart beating faster.

For now, the emperor in front of him now is still within Hades' comprehension in addition to the shocking remarks just now, and the emperor is ...... It also does not show obvious antisocial tendencies.

Not a pseudo-god line, not a pseudo-god line, not some other more terrifying apocryphal, Hades began to pray frantically, he would rather most of the original body be crazy than see the emperor's crazy route.

Hades decided if in the next conversation he found out that this emperor was ...... Nahades may not be unavoidable today, or he may have made a comeback, and then quickly slipped back to the Death Guard and persuaded Motarian to pull an alliance of the Primordials.

Seeing that Hades did not respond to his plan, the emperor stared at Hades with some confusion, but he continued.

"Step two."

The emperor casually opened his hands, his eyes lowered, and then looked back into Hades's eyes.

"Hades, do you want left or right? It doesn't make sense, but you can do whatever you want. ”

Hades felt the cold hairs on his neck about to explode, and he didn't understand...... He couldn't understand it...... The first step is for the emperor to be called a god, and the second step is for him to choose between right and left? Left and right what?

And the emperor's voice was still ringing nonchalantly, muttering something similar to religion...... What is on the right is usually "integrity and justice", and on the left is "roundabout and cunning", but those are all superstitious words.

…… Hades' mind went blank, and he spoke slowly and cautiously, still in the tone of his previous conversation with the Emperor, though deep down he had begun to scream and say goodbye to the Death Guard.

"I want you to explain the significance of this option in detail, Neos, I do have a phobia of choice."

The emperor was silent for a moment,

"It was my negligence, you mentioned earlier that you don't want to make a choice - then the right hand."

Don't skip Hades' question and choose it for him! He's still going to struggle!

And the emperor, who couldn't hear Hades's inner wail at all, continued to act unhurriedly, and the golden light began to gather around him, and the next moment, Hades's eyes widened -

The emperor raised his right hand, made a knife with the index finger of his left hand, and lightly cut a line on the first knuckle of the little finger of his right hand, and the red oozed out, accompanied by a soft "snap" sound.

Now, on the main conference table in the first reception room of the 19th Company of the Ultramarines, the emperor's broken little knuckle was lying quietly, and the white bones were clearly visible in the blood-red flesh.

Hades's brain stopped working completely.

He was silent, completely still, with absolute consternation, witnessing the Emperor's actions.

As if there was no pain, the emperor stared at his right hand calmly, the flames of Yaojin licked the broken wound, the flesh and blood were quickly reborn, and in the blink of an eye, the emperor's right hand was perfect.

Then the emperor lowered his eyes, staring at the flesh and bone that had just been cut off by him—

In an instant, a dazzling golden light exploded in this space! The entire room was instantly engulfed in flames of pure white light.

The fierce power of faith roared in the light, with an unquestionable and overwhelming tyranny and prejudice, and the cold and merciless psionic light bloomed, strangling this tyrannical force, wrestling and tearing and merging.

The whispers of thousands of living beings seem to be swaying in the fire, they are longing, they are telling, they are believing, they are following...... In a white light that could not distinguish the north and south of heaven and earth, they brushed the emperor's side face, a light kiss, and a knife cut.

The Emperor's face was expressionless, ignoring the chanting of billions of people, and he continued to stare at the freshly severed knuckles, and now, the flesh had melted into the flames, and only the bones shimmered in the light.

…… The flames slowly extinguished.

The Emperor picked up this white bone, which looked like a warm white jade that shimmered with golden light, but with a piercing psionic power...... It worked, and the emperor was satisfied with it.

Then he slowly looked up at Hades, who was standing in the corner of the room, holding his sickle up at him.

Hades stared at him as well, as he tightened his grip on the scythe obituary.

……

"I don't understand."

The emperor held the bone knuckle and said slowly,

"I don't understand either."

Hades said that he was already trying to control himself as much as possible, and the psionic flames just now were too violent, and for Hades and his Black Domain, this was a kind of incompatible situation.

…… He didn't, he didn't run away right away, the fucking door was locked, or the reinforced kind, Hades suddenly remembered that Macado had closed the door before leaving.

Hades screamed in his heart, he shouldn't have forgotten that Machado and the emperor are in the same group, but Machado is still within the scope of human understanding, and what is the emperor doing?!

Hades swallowed, he should have picked out something, otherwise Hades didn't think the emperor would understand why he was the way he was.

“…… Neos, your current behavior is very much in line with my impression...... Some stereotypical villain, I'm worried that you're not the person I understand......"

"Rather...... closer to the existence of certain subspaces. ”

The Emperor was silent as he continued to hold the joint.

"You've misunderstood me, Hades, but I don't think I'm using misleading words."

Hades stared at the emperor, and he felt that he was afraid that he would not be able to return when he saw the emperor this time...... His death guard......

"I do wish I had a misunderstanding of you, Neos."

"But first,"

Hades said,

"I would like to state my position first so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and I hope that, in the end, human beings can live freely, autonomously and self-reliantly, instead of becoming a believer in some kind of existence, and human beings can rely on their own development to survive the crisis."

"And I, Hades, base all my actions on the above principles, and do not contradict them for the benefit of myself and those I know."

Hades quickly stated his position, and the confusion on the emperor's face gradually turned into a smile.

Still a very bright smile.

But he held a bone knuckle, and given the emperor's speech and behavior just now, Hades thought that there was an indescribable sense of weirdness in the whole picture.

Hades doesn't understand, he just wants to curse now.

The emperor spoke, his tone quite relaxed,

"That's why I chose you, Hades,"

The Emperor laughed,

"It's been a long time since I've met someone like you, I've seen too many empty people, and I've seen too many narrow people...... And those caught in the middle, tortured to the point of madness. ”

The emperor smiled and shook his head,

"I admire your open-mindedness, and I admire you—if you put the scythe down."

Hades was unwavering, although he felt that he could not survive a move under the emperor,

"You need to clear up my misunderstanding about you first, Neos, your second step, your third step...... What's next? ”

Hardston paused,

"At least I haven't seen a plan that would require you to cut off a section of your little finger."

The emperor blinked, and he seemed to be thinking,

"It could be something else, just take my bones with you."

Is the key point here?!

"Why carry your bones and what is it for?"

The emperor twisted the knuckles in his hand, and he reminded Hades of those who were bored playing with erasers,

"It's a medium, and from a occult point of view, it will connect with my psionic energy, so that I can transfer my psionic energy, most of which is the part with impure faith, to you, to avoid the possibility of ascending to the gods."

Hades breathed a sigh of relief instantly, he slowly put down his scythe, the big ups and downs just now made him a little prostration.

"You can explain it in advance instead of throwing me a multiple-choice question first."

The emperor stopped his bone-turning,

"Maybe it's a matter of habit, I've always liked to show people what I'm capable of and then give them orders."

Hades took a deep breath,

"And what about the explanation? Isn't it true that after witnessing your power, people bow their heads and don't need your explanation at all, right? ”

Then Hades saw the emperor nod slowly, hesitantly.

"Explanations always consume time, and most of the time, explanations don't bring profit."

Ah, yes, yes, Hades said that what you said was right, that is, he was scared to death just now.

If he were a Machado, sooner or later he would be scared out of a heart attack by the emperor, and poor old horse, he would be scared at a young age.

Hades glanced at the emperor in silence, put away his scythe, and sat back in silence.

Seeing him return, the emperor smiled at him as a gesture of friendship.

Hades almost didn't catch his breath again.

"Transferring psionic energy?"

Hades decisively changed the subject, he didn't want to recall the scene just now, but the bone knuckle in the emperor's hand kept reminding him of the previous crazy scene.

"You're going to let me devour this part of my psychic power? But if it were given to me, I would devour too much......"

Hades's voice gradually faded down, no, no-

"This part of the psionic energy is not completely devoured by me, you want to use them to suppress my black domain?!"

The emperor smiled and nodded,

"Yes, that's why I have to be God, your black realm is not enough to shake the waves right now—it's time for us to push."

"As long as the power of faith can suppress your Black Domain, you can remain active throughout the Empire, unleashing it when necessary."

Hades pondered...... The emperor is now acquiescing to the belief of Hades, diverting the faith of the oily guy to expand his black domain, and then using the power of this faith to suppress Hades's black domain with the help of the Whisperer.

As long as the belief in the Emperor is always beyond the expansion rate of the Black Domain, Hades' Black Domain can theoretically grow to an astonishing extent - and it is guaranteed to be controllable.

It does work in theory, but this ...... But it's a bit crazy, if the Emperor allows faith, is it possible for the Lord of Darkness to speed up...... And...... The four gods would also surely be aware of the emperor's actions...... This behavior is similar to the creation of a nuclear bomb...... Will they do something?

Hades shook his head incessantly, it's crazy, but it's doable,

He swallowed,

"It seems that I have no other choice, I accept, I accept."

Hades stared at the emperor in front of him, md he smiled so brightly.

Hades decided to try to save a little bit of his dignity.

"But you...... You're not afraid that the existence of subspace will ...... Acting early? ”

The Emperor put away his smile.

"It's already begun, Hades, after the City of Perfection, you need to make a trip to the Twelve Legions."

Yes, yes.
