【Cokutes】

The stone corridor was completely dark, with the crisp and heavy sound of rushing, and even the immaculate gold was dull in the darkness, like ordinary metal.

Charon stepped across the babbling stream of blood, the dampness leaving its mark on the soles of his boots, the deepest darkness staring at him, and in the dimness, an eerie green light was the only source of light.

Under the helmet, Charon took a deep breath without a trace, and he smelled the familiar smell—

Charon slammed the door open,

"Hades, urgent news, please don't eat."

On the long steel table, Charon saw Hades slowly turn his head, Hades holding a bowl in one hand, while Kirkland was holding a pot and preparing to add food to Hades.

Hades blinked, first made a difficult swallowing motion, and then he looked at the Praetorian Charon,

"What's going on, say."

Hades turned his head again casually and motioned for Kirkland not to fall, and he ate these.

Charon took a deep breath and stood in salute.

"The Lord of Humanity has ordered the entire Silent Retreat to immediately go to the Hazy Star Field, Cygnus X-1, to cancel the plan to go to the Shadow Moon Blue Wolf first, and the Legion near the Cygnus Star Field has also been ordered to wait for your dispatch."

Charon saw Hades stop wrestling with Kirkland's appendage with the spoon, and Hades stopped.

"That's all?"

Hades' voice rang out,

Charon nodded,

"Subspace communication is becoming more and more difficult, and some of the information is missing, or the most complete information we can receive."

Hades slowly put down the bowl,

"Okay...... Let me see ......"

There is no beginning and no end of information, so that he immediately went to the hazy star field, and even gave up Horus's side, what is the matter?

In just a few breaths, Hades has imagined countless possibilities.

Hades brings up the star map, Cygnus X-1...... Let him find out—

？！

Eyes of Fear?!

Hades breathlessed.

Charon stood upright, and the Hades stood up in silence, the red light staring sharply at the Praetorian Army.

"The whole army turns, now full speed to the Eye of Fear, Cygnus X-1, and get ready for battle."

Charon departed immediately, and Hades stood in silence, as if in thought.

Kirkland was silent, quietly waiting at Hades' side.

After a long silence, the Great Sage heard a deep sigh from the Hades, and he sat down melancholy, and began to eat the last supper he could sit down to.

————————

As for the Great Rebellion, Hades had envisioned a thousand possibilities.

He could even accept that Motarian was the first to fall evil, or that there were all sorts of strange apocryphals, such as fallen angels...... Perhaps the only thing that stunned Hades was the Emperor's Apocrypha.

But according to his bioobservations at Neos's side, Hades had always believed that it was impossible for the emperor to follow the Pseudo-Meridian.

The original Great Rebellion was also a battle launched by the Four Gods in order to make the emperor ascend to the gods and become the Lord of Darkness.

According to the idea of the original book, if the emperor does not ascend to the god at 30k (or the emperor does not want to ascend to the god at all), then the emperor will eventually be forced to become the lord of darkness under the accumulation of human faith.

But the strength of the God Emperor, who has been prayed for for thousands of years, or even 10,000 years, and who has absorbed the faith of a large number of believers, is obviously much stronger than the current Emperor, and at that time, the God Emperor's ascension to the gods will become a real disaster—not only for humans, but also for the four gods.

The solution in the original book is to invite the emperor to the golden toilet and get stuck half-dead all the time, but as soon as the emperor gets up from the throne, then the end will come.

Hades crossed the emperor's middle finger bone and thought,

The emperor obviously didn't want to ascend to the gods, and in the original books, the emperor sat on the golden throne, and now the emperor handed over the finger bones to Hades, all in order to suppress faith in order not to ascend to the gods.

But this is contrary to the expectations of the four gods, who expect the emperor to ascend to the gods, or rather, in order to prevent the beliefs of mankind from causing a wave of calamity in the subspace, a god must be born from the race called "humans" to sit in the chair of the subspace.

In the original book, Horus's last battle with the emperor was like this, the dead became sacrifices, and the living were promoted to the gods of darkness, no matter who won or lost, they could complete the expectations of the four gods, but unfortunately the emperor relied on the golden throne to complete the card bug.

Hades pondered, staring at the phalanges in front of him and realizing that he had made a mistake—

If we reasoned according to the purpose, then the ultimate goal of the four gods would not be the original form, nor would it be an attempt to destroy the empire, nor would it be a decisive battle for Terra......

The previous derivations and measures of Hades and the Emperor were entirely based on the premise of preventing the rebellion of the Primordials.

Hades took a deep breath, why didn't the emperor realize this? Hades remembered that the emperor had asked him to go to Horus's side...... Neos panicked? Is it? Or did he see something in Tzeentch's prophecy that caused him to think only of the primordial?

The Primordial is not their primary target.

Hades thought silently,

The vision of the four gods is simple, let the emperor ascend to the gods.

So...... Hades thought slowly...... Who is the roadblock that prevents the emperor from ascending to the gods?

Who is it?

Hades put away his finger bones, covered his eyes silently, he sighed, the emperor has miserably hurt him, he might as well go to Horus's side.

Since the goal of the four gods is not the primordial body, then the rest is easy to reason.

Hades stared at the map, eyes of fear.

He read it silently.

This is directed against him.

Hades is very sure of this.

This is definitely aimed at him, the subspace of the Eye of Fear is basically mixed up with the physical world, and if the subspace strength is too high, his black domain will be suppressed.

But Hades had to go again.

Because there is the eye of fear.

The Eye of Dread in the Hazy Star Field, torn apart by the psionic storm of Slaanesh's birth, where the subspace was able to smoothly encroach on the physical world, and in order to prevent the expansion of the subspace, the former space necrons placed blackstone obelisks on a series of planets at the Eye of Dread to stabilize the physical space in this area.

About the Eye of Fear...... The story as Hades is known is in the 40k, where Abaddon deliberately destroyed the blackstone obelisk where the space necrons suppressed the subspace, and with the final collapse of Cadia, the defense line to suppress the Eye of Fear completely collapsed, and a huge subspace storm erupted, tearing the entire empire in half.

If Chaos really intends to make a big deal in the Eye of Fear and tear apart the Empire, then Hades must go to the Eye of Fear, because if the Eye of Fear is really opened, half of the empire territory will be engulfed in subspace turbulence...... This catastrophe will be no less than the original rebellion.

Moreover, as long as the legion falls into the dark side of the subspace, it also means that those legions and the original body are directly exposed to the gaze of the four gods, and if the time comes, if the fallen original body is designed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In other words, Hades now knows that the four gods are targeting him, and that the four gods are going to target him with the Eye of Fear, but Hades must now go to the Eye of Fear to stop the outbreak of the subspace storm - because there is really no one more suitable to choose him than to see him at 40k.

After all, this battle would mean fighting demons, and only the Silent Retreat would have experienced them...... The Death Guardian and the World Eater are now too far away from the Obscure Star Field.

Hades wailed in his heart,

But now it's 30k!

During the Great Expedition, the Empire's army had no experience in fighting demons at all, and what made Hades even more desperate was that in 30k, the Empire did not conquer the star field near the Eye of Chaos, which was the territory of Chaos!

Hades swallowed silently, that is to say, if Hades did not intervene in the fate of the empire, then the four gods would choose the regular Fallen Primordial, but at this moment, the emperor has decided to use Hades to throw into the subspace at any time to lift the table, so the four gods ...... Naturally, you can also choose to open the eyes of fear.

On the one hand, the emperor opened 30k state religions in advance, and on the other hand, the four gods opened 30k eyes of fear in advance, you don't, don't speed up the update version! What should I do if the server crashes when the time comes?!

Hades took a deep breath, he stared at the map, deciding not to insult the emperor and the four gods, he casually circled the location of the eye of fear on the map.

The two legions near the Eye of Fear are...... The Iron Hand and the Iron Warriors who have just cleared out the remnants of Ulanno.

Who will it be?

It occurred to Hades that the Silent Retreat could only receive Terra's vague astral language, and that descriptions of specific characters had been erased.

They all rebelled? Or neither, the four gods are using other forces to make trouble at the Eye of Fear?

And...... Hadiston paused, in the original book, it was Abaddon who blew up the Blackstone Obelisk and completed the move to release the Eye of Fear, but the Blackstone Obelisk already has the effect of amplifying psionic energy, if the four gods really want to play a big ......

Hades began to call for the figure king in his heart, but unfortunately Tarasin did not equip Hades with a communication ability, and the maelstrom figure king did not come last time.

In the original book, Tarasin appears in the Eye of Fear, but the reason why the figure king was able to come was because a bell in his collection suddenly rang.

And the bell ...... Hades silently thought that it was a product of the fucking state religion! It's hard to say where the 30k thing is!

Although he wanted to call the allies, Hades was ready for no one and no necromancers to come to his aid.

On the map, in addition to the two Iron Legions closest to the Eye of Fear, there are also the Emperor's Son in the northeast and the Raven Guard in the northwest.

Not to mention...... Hades wasn't sure if they had received an edict from Terra.

Hades couldn't even be sure if the Iron Hand and Iron Warriors had received Terra's edict.

Hades let out a long sigh again, but the emperor and Machado gave him some tokens before parting.

The best-case scenario for now is that neither Iron Legion is corrupted and willing to assist Hades in guarding the Eye of Fear, while the worst-case scenario is that both legions are corrupted.

On the map, Hades deduces the possible outcome of the battle...... Not just the Eye of Fear, Hades was sure that the four gods would also want to move somewhere else while he and the emperor were distracted.

…… Horus.

The first thing that came to Hades' mind was the marshal.

But what can Hades do?

Hades was silent, even if he tried to tell Horus to be careful, the information could be lost in the already volatile subspace communications.

He stared at the map, Horus was not very far from Baal now...... Hades thought that if Horus really sensed that something was wrong with him, he would go to the archangel for help.

In his home planet of St. Giles, Hades thought that the probability of falling was very small, and the only two unlucky people who were plotted against the original body in his home planet were Motarian and Angelon, and the archangel in a normal state should be able to stabilize Horus.

Hades sighed again.

He could only go to one place, and now he could only see the creations of the other primitives.

As long as time allowed, Hades and the Emperor had prepared for the Primitives as best they could.

And now, it's time for trial.

Possibly
