The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Chapter 1817 Galaxy Dilemma (Part 2)

"no."

"It's rare for you to express dissatisfaction with the Lord of Humanity."

"I"

After a pause, Soshyan argued:

"I'm not expressing dissatisfaction. In fact, now I can understand the emperor's choice in the Great Crusade. Sometimes when a person is in that position, there may be more and better choices, but the actual factors are often very complicated. What can be done in the end? Probably only a not so bad choice”

"Okay, don't lie to yourself, what will happen to the Great Crusade of the Lord of Humanity in the end? Even if he wiped out all the non-human races in the galaxy as he wished, and barely repaired the broken net Do you think that this empire built on lies can last forever? I once read a story in an ancient book that was considered taboo. In the era, there was a great king who unified the divided continent. This was the first real unification of that continent in thousands of years. Then the emperor unified the different languages ​​and characters created by the division, and built many great projects. He even built roads across the country. He expected his empire to last until the day the world collapsed. For this reason, he even wanted to live forever, but in fact he died not long after the empire was unified. The great empire fell apart more than ten years after his death, and not even a handful of ashes remained of those incomparably magnificent and miraculous palaces."

"The story...I've heard it, but all the empires after that dynasty benefited and prospered from everything it ever did."

"It is also trapped in it, repeating the same story with no end in sight in the cycle of countless generations, until it is broken by a stronger external force"

"Actually, this is not someone's fault, I can only say—"

"The empire forbids similar stories from being circulated, right? Because they are too similar, a foolish dream, and in the end only death and destruction will be obtained."

"Probably because of time constraints, or other reasons, there is no other way to go"

"No? Did the Lord of Humanity really try other ways? Then what was he doing when the intelligent machine rebellion broke out in the heyday of mankind? When he took those civilizations left over from the long night, including yours, Ancestor, when eradicating one after another, did he really think that there might be other ways? I feel that he at that time was more like a mad king driven mad by a self-fulfilling prophecy. In a sense , maybe that Midnight Ghost is the one among the 20 Primarchs who most resembles their genetic father. After all, both of them are going to extremes or even crazy for something or goals that everyone cannot understand. Such a person Should he be called a prophet, or should he be called a lunatic?"

"War always cannot avoid destruction. The situation at that time may be very complicated, after all, subspace."

"So everything is the fault of the subspace? Then when the Great Crusade is over, what will happen to the human empire with the webway? It is impossible to cut off the power of the subspace by relying on the webway alone. If the Lord of Humanity wants to destroy everything Psionic energy, will it launch a cleansing of all human psykers and turn it into a galaxy-level witch hunt? And in order to achieve this goal, how many killings and tragedies need to be created? In this case, in this In the human utopia expected by the Mad King, there are probably only the burning rack and the guillotine left, and based on our understanding of Chaos, I am afraid that when he did all these things, the death and destruction he created would have already caused that sad empire to be destroyed by Chaos. Corrosion is riddled with holes, Alexei, do you still remember what you once said to me, the essence of chaos is actually four simple words, the human heart is like a demon."

"These are issues, but a relatively stable environment, perhaps"

Veronica laughed again.

"Stability? The Ida Empire has the most complete webway, but I dare not say it is stable. At the end of the Great Crusade, even if it really completely rules the galaxy, it will be nothing more than the next short-lived Ada Empire. Is there no wise man? However, in fact, I doubt that the Lord of Humanity can even maintain the truth of his empire in the end. You see, after all, he can’t even control twenty sons, let alone one who is actually surrounded by Leakage, a galactic empire that is crumbling at its roots."

"At that time, human civilization was in crisis after all, and there had to be some last resort. At least the emperor did save human civilization that was on the verge of collapse."

As he spoke, Soshyan removed the little alien that had been making trouble on him and put it back on the ground, but it still circled around Soshyan's legs, chasing those shiny nails.

"And these civilizations disappeared in less than a second when he turned around, and then fell into a continuous collapse for 10,000 years."

"Humanity survives after all. Who in the galaxy is not surviving?"

"Yeah, survival is just survival. I don't deny the credit of the Lord of Humanity for bringing the entire human race to the peak by force, but if this is his credit, then the human race collapses from the peak again and only survival is left, then Whose fault should it be? A ruler who personally pushed the country to the top and then pushed it down to the abyss, what do humans generally call it?"

"You are prejudiced against the Emperor. Too demanding."

"It's not prejudice, let alone harshness. There is an old saying in human beings. I don't know if you have heard it. It is my fault to call Wanfang guilty. He is the master of mankind, the emperor of the empire, and an unquestionable dictator. Since you want to If he has the power to control everything, he will naturally bear all the responsibilities under the power, so do you think he has contributed to the things that happened? If he found out, repaired the network road, and genocide all of them, even himself in the end Still unable to fight against the Chaos Gods, what choice do you think he will make?"

Suoshyan smiled helplessly. He didn't intend to continue this topic with Veronica. Some of the other party's words were right and some were wrong. He also used a lot of sophistry techniques, but the debate could not bring any "victory". Nor would it change his mind, he always believed in the Emperor's efforts to keep humanity alive, whether or not he actually made a mistake in the process.

The throne still stands on the top of Terra, and he has done his best to mend his mistakes, worthy of the title of Lord of Humanity.

And to be honest, the past and the present contain many complicated factors, which cannot be explained clearly by the two of them in a few words, even if they can be called demigods now.

"Uh, why are you suddenly talking about the Emperor today, Veronica?"

Veronica poked Suoshyan's forehead with her finger.

"It's not because you are so angry at being bound by those meaningless responsibilities."

"Responsibility and mission are the life of an Astartes. Without this ~www.readwn.com~ what is the difference between me and those people in the Eye of Terror."

"Of course there is a difference. Those in the Eye of Terror probably won't sleep with an 'alien' in their arms."

"Ahem, what, the point is the direction, the direction"

Then he changed the subject.

"Moreover, the world is impermanent. The rise and fall of races and empires is the normal state of the universe. For hundreds of millions of years, there is no eternal country. The result of the necrophobia's wishful thinking is only to become a metal undead, lingering in the few remaining tombs, But this does not mean that we give up the process of hard work because of the possible doomed results. It can only be said that the emperor has reached the limit of what he can do. That's the only way."

Veronica looked at Soshyan, blinked, and suddenly said playfully:

"Then have you ever thought that maybe you can find another way to break this kind of reincarnation?"

"Um?"

"If going around in the galaxy can't avoid becoming the chessboard of the gods, why not go out? The universe is so vast, and there is still infinite space outside the galaxy. Maybe there is a solution to this infinite dilemma outside the galaxy? ?”
