The Emperor saw it clearly, and as he stood still, patiently awaiting Cyrene's prayer, Hades poked his head out of the building curiously, and for a moment showed a palpable expression of disgust.

Although the expression lasted for a very short time, it did appear on Hades' face.

The emperor was expressionless, he stood calmly in the streets of the night, listening to the weeping and prayers of billions of people in the perfect city, listening to the sound of Cyrene's epiphany, and then he raised his hand—

A hazy golden light lit up, and the next moment, Cyrene, who was sobbing quietly, lowered his head, and a forbidden soldier stepped out behind the emperor and carried the unconscious lady away.

The Emperor raised his eyes faintly, and now the disgust on Hades's face was more obvious and undisguised, but when he noticed that the Emperor was looking at him, the expression was withdrawn.

The emperor spoke, his voice flat,

"What did you find, Hades?"

"A suspicious middle-aged man standing in a small alley, and a young woman kneeling at his feet crying."

The emperor looked at Hades, who looked back at him, and there was a gust of wind in the night alley.

The emperor spoke,

"I know you've found the Blade of your nemesis, and that's why I'm standing here."

Hades let out a loud sigh, but after the Emperor walked up to Hades, he pushed open the door to the hall for him.

They walked past the nine-eyed Buddha statue, the sword frame of the eight swords, the wheat seedlings of the seven handfuls, and the incense tent of the six corners.

With each exhibit, the flames of the golden glow burst into flames, illuminating the dark wasteland, and the flames crackled.

Hades frowned and looked back at the burning exhibits, which were unnecessary...... His Black Domain has ......

But this is the emperor, and of course the emperor can do what he wants, and Hades is only responsible for bringing him to the broken sculpture.

The old enemy sword was still there, and Hades didn't dare touch it, even though the Black Domain had suppressed it and devoured those psionic rays, but the pus was still gushing outward, the kind that conformed to the laws of physics.

As Hades had done, the emperor circled the broken sword stuck in the stone.

Hades stood aside, patiently waiting for the emperor.

Finally, the emperor returned to his original position, staring at the sword with a blank face,

"Do you know what's going on, Neos?"

The emperor paused for a moment, then he shook his head silently and slowly.

Hades raised an eyebrow, and the emperor didn't know either? Isn't that wonderful......

"You don't know? Or do you know where this sword came from, what it is used for? ”

The emperor's dark brown eyes looked at Hades calmly,

"I'm not a god, I'm not omnipotent, I'm not omniscient, and you probably know better than I do about the fate of this sword, Hades."

Hades took a deep breath, he scratched his head,

"Well, I thought you knew something—I didn't expect a simple inspection to catch a big guy, I thought it was just some cultists, or some little toy or something."

Hades silently took a few steps forward, staring at the sword, MD, how did the obsidian pattern on it look like a variant of Barbaros - or did Barbaros itself evolve from it?

The Sword of the Nemesis, in the original timeline, was from a civilization that talked about cooperation with the moon wolf - Interres, which is a highly developed human civilization with a brilliant culture, and most importantly - the humans of this civilization know chaos and have always fought against it.

However, just as Moon Wolf was about to reach a cooperation with this civilization, Erebus stole the sword, the old enemy of this civilization, and caused a series of chaos, which eventually led to the collapse of Moon Wolf and Interles, and the Empire had to destroy this civilization.

Through the operation of the four gods and Erebas, the sword came into the hands of Governor Devon, who had already been blessed by Nurgle and took this sword, personally betrayed and stabbed Horus, and the powerful corrupting power made Horus dying, and finally sent to the temple of the corruption of the four gods by the overwhelmed moon wolves in a coma.

It can be said that in Horus's storyline, this sword represents the beginning of corruption.

Although Horus gradually became irritable and suspicious after becoming a war commander, he at least ...... Still loyal.

So what the hell is going on? The sword of the rivalry is now in the hands of the Empire, what are the four gods thinking? Or did Hades really hit and cut off the beard by mistake?

Hades stared at the sword, and he spoke slowly,

"I have two conjectures...... First, we really caught a big fish this time. ”

"And the second ......"

Hades raised his eyes and looked back at the Emperor, whose eyes were now burning with a calm golden flame.

"They are provoking us, as a mockery and in response to our changed plans – they have received our resistance."

The Emperor shook his head gently,

"Hades, you're still not familiar with this scum."

"Don't be intimidated by these pointless tricks, they have enough time and energy to choose, to deploy, they have enough pieces – now it's just one they throw at random."

"It is, it is not, it is intentional, it is not intentional...... None of that matters. ”

"The only thing that matters is that I'm going to burn the City of Perfection, I'm going to proclaim God, I'm going to build the network - focusing on the tricks on the other side will only get you into the swamp of their schemes, and they're good at it."

Hades hissed, can he say that's why the original emperor failed? The emperor over-...... No attention to detail.

But on the other hand, it seems that the emperor is right, if the four gods keep throwing out the chess chips in Hades' memory to divert his attention...... Then they might be able to trap Hades.

Hades sighed, it seems that he will need to be more improvisable in the future.

"Well, I understand, Neos."

Hades waved his hand,

"So what do we do with this sword? Did you burn it? ”

The Emperor shook his head,

"I can't burn it, there's no reverberation of psionic energy on it."

Hades blinked,

"Then you let the Janissaries take it?"

"I refuse."

The emperor replied decisively,

"That'...... Can't you let this broken sword stay where it is?! You have to find a way to take it away and destroy it, right? ”

The emperor looked at Hades in silence, and he spoke slowly,

"Master of the Silent Retreat, I think you can take it with you."

Hades looked at the emperor in despair and disbelief, as if betrayed,

"What do I want this thing for?"

"As the master of the Silent Retreat, it is your duty to collect these items, Hades, and this sword will not cause you any damage now."

Obviously, Hades couldn't get his men to draw the sword, and he didn't have the courage to do so.

Eventually, Hades walked in front of the broken sword, surrounded by fragments of the God-Emperor's sculpture, and now so dim that it barely allowed a ray of light to penetrate.

Hades calmed his mind.

He reached out and gripped the hilt of the broken sword tightly, and pulled it hard—

The sound of chains clattering, and as the sword rises, the stone seat completely cracks and disintegrates, overflowing with pus.

Hades took the sword and turned around, the expression on his face calmly looking like he was dying.

"So you're just here to say a few words to me, Neos?"

The emperor calmly took a few steps back, he raised his hand, and the golden flames instantly burned the pus.

"I also enlightened my believers—it was necessary."

"And what about the blessed lady, are you going to make her a bishop or something?"

"She's going to wake up in her own home and think it's just a dream."

I broke my promise, one last time.

The next time I say that I will take a leave of absence, I will never update it.
