With the Iron Man Incident coming to an end, the winds and sands of Colchis have returned to calm, just as the ancient religious planet has spent more than a thousand years in the old night.

However, Elaine did not choose to leave Colches immediately.

On the one hand, it is a consideration of the current state of the Bearer, and on the other hand, it is a consideration of the loyalty of the surviving Iron Man.

While the treaty and cooperation have been agreed, the loyalty of the Iron Man has never been a non-committal issue - even Elaine is not sure that the Iron Man who is under his constant surveillance will be as untrustworthy as the aliens who rebelled against the Human Federation in the Old Night, with the slightest negligence... It can easily lead to catastrophe.

So, based on the most conservative estimates, Elaine was ready to wait for the special band Star Communication from Terra before taking the Iron Man away from Colchis.

Of course, this particular frequency band is the frequency band used by the genoplasm to communicate directly with the emperor.

"It seems that you still don't feel comfortable with our covenant."

In the built-in quantum space of Elaine's portable data board, Iron Man looked helplessly at the various regulatory units around him, as well as the firewall with extremely large traffic and data.

Since the events of the Megatower, Elaine has uploaded the Iron Man directly into her dashboard to prevent anything out of her control.

"It's just a necessary measure, [the Silencer]."

Elaine said casually, not seeming to have the self-awareness of putting her partner in the cell.

By the time she confirmed that the Iron Man's body was the shell of the Tzeentch demon she had seen in the past, Elaine had already put the other party in danger to the maximum.

If nothing else, just because the iron man core that is being analyzed contains too many unspeakable and terrible secrets.

With a star-devouring iron plague capable of devouring planets, and a latitude anchor that easily crosses the veil of subspace, Elaine doesn't even have the guts to restore it to reality until he's fully studied the full picture of those weird technologies.

Although Elaine intends to reproduce the technology in it that is beneficial to humanity, Elaine is still cautious about a Pandora's box that stores terrible things like this.

"What's more... Your situation is so special that I don't dare to confirm that you have no ill will towards the Human Empire. ”

"Stay in there before my father comes—while I can't guarantee that the structure of this thing is as old as a primitive man's stone in your eyes, I dare to pack the ticket that I can smash this datapad into a cloud of electronic waste before you break through the firewall of dynamic floating-point data."

Elaine threatens the Silent in a threatening manner.

Having said that, even Elaine wasn't too sure in her heart, after all, she didn't know if the emperor would be angry because of something that hated intelligence.

Therefore, there are some things that still need to be ventilated with his old man first, otherwise... Someday, Nukeria will suffer the wrath of the Space Wolves and even the Dark Angels.

"Simple threat and logic, but quite effective."

In response, the Silent did not deny Elaine's methods, and in its opinion, the threat was undoubtedly real and effective.

After all, if this stream of consciousness is completely damaged in a closed environment, without any data backup, then its existence can also be defined as death.

It's just that the Silent still doesn't understand Elaine's approach:

"—however, since I agreed to transfer consciousness to your personal device, the fate of this stream of data is completely in your hands... So I still don't understand why you have to maintain such a high level of resistance to this machine. ”

Faced with this question, Elaine suddenly fell silent for a moment and said slowly.

"Humanity has been betrayed, that's all."

Yes, the reason is simple.

Betrayal is a word that is hard to remember, and it is also a word that carries countless tragedies.

Elaine could only give such an objective answer to the Silent Man's question of trust.

Perhaps from the perspective of the Empire, she could have given a more perfect answer - but at the same time, Elaine, who had a different perspective, had to admit the fact that, with the information she had, the revelation and end of the Iron Man Rebellion were meaningless.

She had also imagined whether the timeline of human beings and iron people living in harmony would be true, but the fact was that all iron men handed down from that era were all abominable intelligences with extremely high malice towards humans, and their malice and murderous intent towards humans were almost hatred.

There have been so many perverse things happening in this dark and cold universe, like the Great Rebellion that is destined to happen, the Lord of Darkness who is destined to ascend to the altar, both history and the future have been shrouded in a layer of fog that is difficult to see, so that the density of information in some huge crises cannot be preserved in the form of data at all, and thus return to the most primitive means of recording for human beings.

Engrave the words in the stone.

In this vast epic that counts in millennia, no information can survive intact into the next era.

Whether it is the vague and hazy age of the old night and the age of dark technology, or the incomprehensibility of looking back at the era of the Great Expedition in the forty-second dark millennium, those complex things will often disappear completely with time, and only an unforgettable, simple and easy-to-understand ending and summary will be engraved on the stone tablet of history by later generations to warn everything that comes after.

And this is like a sentence that appears on the background board, with no emotion or force, just coldly showing others everything that happened in this story, rough and full of holes.

As a genetic protogen, Elaine can of course ask the Emperor about the secrets of the Dark Tech Age, how many betrayals have been suffered by humans in the Old Night, or what kind of information the enemies of the High Heavens have, or even how many stories are buried in the Iron Man Rebellion.

But what do those answers change?

Even the emperor, who is many times more knowledgeable and knowledgeable than himself, has no idea what to do about it, and what can he do if he is Elaine.

As a Genotype, Elaine is an extension of the Emperor's will—it was only when she knew that her unexpressive father was unwilling to create twenty-one tools at her disposal, which gave them an empty slot for their souls.

What she has to do is simple and complex.

That would be to abandon most of the due scrutiny, not to speculate on what the savior of humanity was doing, and to continue in the direction he had pointed out to the empire of mankind.
