Chapter 878 [320.] The Sage’s Historical Perspective, That Distant Him

The white light is like day.

Hundreds of starlight penetrated the Milky Way, like pure silk threads cutting through the starry sky. Although compared with the giant weapons launched by the Necrons, the hundreds of light spears fired by the human race still had a little noise on their edges.

But it is enough to light up a starry sky.

One after another, humans wearing red robes and with bodies made of metal raised their arms high, with their longbows drawn to the full extent. On the wild land and on the smooth decks, the huge and clumsy man-made buildings raised their heads and looked at the starry sky with these tiny people.

The mechanical eyes reflected the gods they thought about and prayed to day and night. At this moment, the underworld was as dark as ink, which just proved the saying in "The Theory of Hades" that "darkness helps people think and reflects the true wisdom of the wise."

But now, these believers are pointing their knives and guns at the Hades, whom they pray to every day.

One after another, spears of light cut through the vast starry sky, and as thin and long as the spears pointed by ancient people, they stabbed randomly at the mammoths trekking across the wilderness.

However, not all sages were sad and could not accept this behavior - quite a number of sages in the psychic and anti-psychic domains were dancing with joy, and the electric arcs running through the engine almost pierced the chip. No matter what happened next, it would become material for the sages' papers in the future - enough to be written for a thousand years.

It cannot be said that they have only now realized that they are betraying their "God". When the plan was first proposed and drafted, the sages were clearly aware of what they were doing and that they were participating in a project that could potentially bring down God.

But as it is said in "The Hades' Theory", "Gods can bleed, gods can be incomplete, gods can die."

They realized their mission at their desks, test benches, and in factories thousands of years ago, and thousands of years later, their hard work is actually being put to use - how can they not be excited?
They were nervous and excited, worried that Pluto would really fall, but also worried that the products they developed would be useless.

So they did nothing but raised their heads, just like the first primitive man who raised his head and looked at the starry sky tens of thousands of years ago. These sages who have pursued knowledge all their lives raised their heads and stared at the stars that once gave them the courage to move towards the dark wilderness.

There, Hades was still wrestling with Starfire, unaware of the betrayal stabbing at his back. To Hades, who had already fallen into devouring, greed, and disorder, those weapons that combined the wisdom and resources of billions of human beings were nothing more than that.

The first "spear of light" came from Base No. 043. The slightly dim spear lost its power when it reached the star field next to the turbulent Black Sea, and dimmed among the meteorites.

There was no way. Base 043 was closest to the battle site of the Star God, and the soldiers and sages stationed there were working under tremendous pressure from the Star God. Base 167, which was even closer to the battle site of the Star God, lost contact at 8:32, and preliminary observations showed that it was destroyed. Base 079 was also unable to launch successfully because the aftermath of the Star God's attack interfered with Law No. .

Jin-306 marked all the spears of light in his sight. He expected that the light from Base 077 would be the first to focus on the Underworld Sea. Sure enough, the obviously bright spear went straight into the Σ area of ​​the Underworld Sea and pierced into the sea water like a needle.

It disappeared in a flash, like a small stone thrown into the sea.

Three, two, one,

Jin counted silently in his mind, and he felt his fuel pump tremble with every number on the counter. He stared at the small corner and waited.

zero.

call--

Like a bit of white fuel with extremely strong covering power, a small white flower bloomed in the dark sea and began to expand in an instant.

Jin thought he should be relieved, but he didn't feel good at all. He was still holding his breath and felt uncomfortable in his heart. He almost cried - if he had eyes and tear glands.

Next to the great sage Jin who was standing in a daze, Kirkland was shaking like a sieve. If Jin had turned his head to take a look, he would have immediately suspected that Kirkland was on fire, but Jin did not. The two great sages had their eyes wide open, staring blankly at the sky.

There, the boy who was once on Mars is now roaring.

Because of the anger of being betrayed, or the pain?

More and more light spears arrived at their destination. Those thin lines fell into the dark sea. They were not noticeable at first, but they blossomed into white flowers after a few breaths, just like a brush dipped in oil and inserted into the water, and those bizarre films suddenly blossomed on the water surface.

But that's not film.

Jin-306 was extremely clear about that point. It was a pure hole, penetrating through the darkness, an absolute hole.

The restriction plan against Hades was originally proposed by the Primarch of the Death Guard, Mortarion. However, the Primarch did not point out a research direction for it. Instead, he handed the draft of the plan to Gold-306. Unlike the Primarch's subsequent indifference to the plan, Mortarion generously approved an unimaginable amount of funds for the plan.

The Primarch had only one restriction - the plan had to remain secret, and the work had to be carried out by someone whom Jinn trusted.

Over the next hundred years, Jin-306 deployed this plan in the various mechanical worlds of his "Pluto as Human" faction. Tens of thousands of sages debated this plan, trying to find a way that could theoretically restrain Pluto.

Theoretically, they could prove that they could restrain Pluto through some technology, and this alone took the sages one hundred and five years.

The project was slow to progress, and Jin-306 had no choice but to broaden the candidates for the project. After several inspections, sages from the "Pluto as God" sect were added to the project. Later, priests from the state religion and the Hades cult also joined the project.

Finally, in the secret society of Jin-306, in various unnoticed corners, technical sergeants from various legions would appear. Most of those technical sergeants were unknown in their own legions and never attracted attention - their brothers would not know what mission they were undertaking - selected from Mars and named with the highest secret.

Finally, the person who proposed the preliminary theory of the current plan to restrain Pluto was someone no one expected - a high priest of the State Religion of the Holy Emperor, who, together with a technical sergeant of the Salamanders, put forward a theoretical hypothesis.

They found a "membrane" that is insoluble in both the physical world and the subspace.

web channel.

Although Hades proved in the battle of Slaanesh that his power could break through the constraints of the Webway, he still needed sufficient strength and energy. In general tests, Hades did not directly devour the Webway like it devoured the Warp, but instead was in a state of incompatible isolation.

It is already very difficult to find strong dimensions and spaces in this world that do not react to the underworld and are not easily dissolved in the underworld.

The Webway obviously meets this condition and will not actively merge with the Underworld. It will only break apart when the Underworld exerts force on it.

When this proposal was put in front of Jin-306, this plan put forward by two people who were not favored by anyone immediately exploded a small firework in Jin's thinking engine - the great sage seemed to subconsciously understand that this was what they had been looking for.

After that, although papers in other directions were still popular, the mainstream recognized scheme for this plan was the Webway. For this plan, Jin specifically sought cooperation with the Imperial Guards, who provided the project with all the Emperor's research on the Webway. The Emperor, who had obtained the Tuchucha Engine, had already pieced together most of the puzzle, and the knowledge left by Pluto solved another small part, but the final puzzle still had to be pieced together by the sages.

57 years after the webway was proposed, after the salamander technical sergeant who proposed it died at the hands of the Nurgle archdemon "Zaogu", and the priest's head was twisted off by a mad demon during an exorcism, a "Pluto" sage from the marginal forge world completed the initial establishment of the webway through the information shared by Jin.

Humans have successfully reproduced the Webway 1.0 version, forming a closed hollow webway in a space of less than ten cubic meters, which lasted for five milliseconds before collapsing.

After that, generation after generation of sages and technical soldiers threw themselves into the updating and iteration of this technology, until the current version used on the battlefield, which can deploy a webway in a very short time, wrapping and isolating a part of the underworld.

According to the data and descriptions provided by Jin and Primarch Mortarion, the Underworld will gradually wither over time after it is separated from Hades' body. After destroying several black stones with high-intensity black domain concentrations left behind by Hades before he fell asleep, the sages found a catalyst that accelerates the shrinkage of the Underworld.

Specific rays, specific temperature, specific dimension.

But not enough.

Finally, the sages once again turned their attention to the subspace and psionics. After a series of experiments, calculations, and modeling, people found the Black Domain* psionics calculation formula.

This calculation formula figures out the ratio of black domain to psychic energy at what point the black domain will devour psychic energy, or psychic energy will devour the black domain.

Finally, the prototype of this series of weapons appeared. First, a closed network the size of a star was used to wrap and isolate the black domain, creating the best conditions for the black domain to shrink within the closed network, and then psychic bombs were released to devour the black domain.

The only drawback is that this will consume a lot of spiritual energy.

This is why the Word Bearers ask people to pray - the God-Emperor, who has slowly ascended to the Dark Lord, does not need people to pray, but these weapons do.

After Pluto's resurrection, these materials were not entered into the Academy of Athens, but were kept by these sages alone. Due to some concerns, Jin exiled all the sages in charge of these technologies to the Forge World on the edge of the empire.

The Great Sage knew that this technology had great limitations and could only limit Pluto - because of the specific environment within the Webway, it was not well adapted to the other Star Gods.

So he sent those sages far away. Jin didn't know why. What was he thinking when he followed Hades who had awakened again countless times?

So Jin then decided to quit his job and travel far away.

It wasn't really a tour. He went to visit the sages he had released, and followed the research vessel that was digging up the tombs of the Necrons. Once the fleet discovered a better way to restrain the Star Gods, the Gold-306 on board would be the first to collect that knowledge.

That's the whole story, a long, dull, tedious story of countless betrayals of God's followers.

Hades himself had always known about this, the King of Hell had a vague sense of something - but he never asked for the truth.

But he always smiles, an encouraging smile, a gentle smile, a tired smile, a wry smile. He never gets angry with the sages and researchers. He points out their problems seriously, encourages them, and gives a handful of biscuits to the sages who don't even have a digestive system before they leave. This is the awakened Pluto - the other side that only targets the sages and technical sergeants.

Jin actually wanted to cry.

But he couldn't cry at all, because he had no eyeballs anymore. His eyeballs, along with his severed head, turned into a pool of biomass fertilizer on Mars ten thousand years ago, and were replaced by a flat electronic screen.

The dim electronic screen now looked like a scratched ink board, with white flowers reflected against the starry sky.

This is the Mechanicus, His right-hand man, His most capable and silent eldest son. The sage is silent, but under His leadership, he lays one cornerstone after another for the empire - their battlefields are mostly in laboratories, at desks, and in workshops. They use red robes instead of heavy armor, machines instead of flesh, and engine oil instead of blood, interpreting the teachings of Pluto between 0 and 1.

This is the Mechanicus too, pointing their guns at their gods - far more decisively, far more cruelly, far more coldly than any other dithering Emperor, Primarch, Legion, Chthonic Order or Astra Militarum.

But they did not betray. They implemented exactly what Pluto taught. On this path chosen by Pluto, the Mechanicus went the furthest and most correctly.

They are striking down the god with their own hands - even if the power of mortals is not enough to completely pull him off the altar, it is enough to make him bleed.

As they walked step by step, did Hades know that he had personally taught the sages all this? If he knew, would he be angry about it?

If it was the Hades that Jin knew, then probably not.

He might just smile bitterly.

But this only highlighted the greatness of Pluto and the insignificance of the people under his feet. At this moment, amidst the darkness and white spots, Jin was extremely aware of this.

Hades, the god of the underworld, is so noble and great. He personally enlightens human wisdom step by step, and gives them the fire when necessary, the fire that can burn himself.

So... The Mechanicus is indeed lucky, and so is humanity, to have such a god helping them, helping the human race to prosper for thousands of years and never wither.

Jin stared intently at the starry sky, where Hades was roaring. Because of the sudden attack, the webs the size of the sun expanded and tore off some of His power piece by piece.

The outer party, which was originally slightly weaker, expanded again. The bright white ball of light burned, and the particles glowed brighter, eroding towards the Black Sea. The offensive and defensive positions changed in an instant.

Jin felt himself almost faint, even though this was what they had expected, the Mechanicus had done it, they had stepped out from under the warm wings of the gods and proved their power to this cruel world.

A force powerful enough to injure a god.

Jin stood there quietly, the desolate wind on the construction site lifted up the hem of his red robe. He looked at the dark sky and thought of the Death Guard technical sergeant he saw on Mars. At that time, his right eye was as black as it is today.

Above the starry sky, the dark sea was rolling.

In the distance, there flashed something that He was more interested in and more within reach.
