Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"You shouldn't be here, prisoner!" Saraf said, looking at Erebus who had left his designated activity area. "You should stay in your cell!"

"Don't be so irritable. Your master and I are still allies, right?" said Erebus, the man with tattoos all over his body and a certain demonic look, 'Warhammer Damned Most'. "You need our help, and I have exactly what you need."

"I don't believe in demons!"

"So what do you believe in? Your god?"

Golden wings of light spread out behind Saraf, and at the same time an invisible pressure spread from his body.

"You better be respectful! You devil's follower!"

"Haha~"

Erebus chuckled, because he saw a hint of unusual luster in the wings of light that seemed holy and noble.

"No offense." Erebus bowed to the angry Saraf in front of him. "But, is your god really worth it?"

"After all you've been through..."

At this point, Saraf was stunned.

After the Heavenly Father left, Saraf, as his most loyal believer, also left with him.

Without Heavenly Father to prevent the collapse, Saraf inevitably fell into weakness, and had to temporarily give up his original body and become a human at the cost of losing his memory.

Everyone knows what happened after that - Saraf worked diligently for humanity; he used [Argentum Energy] to support his original body and prevent it from [collapse]; and finally, for the sake of God, he was almost killed by DOM.

Yes, in the end God saved him and prevented him from dying at the hands of DOM like those demons.

However, because he used the [Argent Energy] just like the Queen of the [Mekr], Saraf also had a certain devilish appearance and physical features like her.

He gave everything to the "Father" he was loyal to, but the "Father" seemed to only care about DOM from beginning to end. . .

"I don't know what happened to you, but..." Erebus's bewitching words rang in Saraf's ears again. "Why don't you think more about yourself?"

"You've done so much for your god, you should think about yourself once in a while~"

"...Get back here before I get angry!"

Seeing this, Erebas bowed again to Saraf in front of him, and then walked towards his room under the escort of two [Mekr] drones.

"The seeds of doubt have been planted." Erebus murmured. "The outcome is up to you..."

Ezarafu stood there in silence for a long time, and in a trance he seemed to hear laughter from an unknown source.

"I will not doubt or betray [the Heavenly Father]..."

"Otherwise, everything I've been through and endured would be meaningless."

What if those things themselves have no meaning?

208. Chaos and Conspiracy (Part )

Type-Moon World - The Seventh Singularity - Absolute Warcraft Front

夜晚

The Pathfinders were able to effectively target supernatural entities, successfully defeating the Gorgons before they caused more casualties, and captured them using the Black Stone.

And soon after, Jingu, the descendant of Tiamat, was successfully captured alive by the wise king with the help of Zhang Yi and others - and then he was released after talking about something unknown.

"I just don't understand you kings..."

Unexpectedly, Horus did not say anything about this, but he still warned Gilgamesh that if his decision affected his future plans, the wise king would need to deal with the impact himself - if he couldn't, Horus would deal with them all.

Chains made of black stone bound the huge Gorgon in the central square of Uruk. Without the support of the Holy Grail, she was completely unable to break free from the control of the undead black stone, which also had the ability to suppress supernatural beings.

After that, a group of staff members in Chaldea, the Think Library left behind by Guilliman, the Adeptus Mechanicus, and Malcador, who was once one of the best psykers in the Warhammer Universe, began to study how to safely contact Tiamat in the Imaginary Space through the Gorgon.

This will take some time, so Zhang Yi asked Lixiang to contact and recruit other goddesses including Ishtar as in the original plot. After all, they are also a great help, right?

Horus was left in Uruk to ensure his safety - as mentioned before, Goetia would not allow outsiders like Zhang Yi to disrupt his plans, and there was a high probability that he would come to this singularity to eliminate Zhang Yi and other disruptors.

Thanks to the help of Zhang Yi and others, the damage to Uruk City was not serious. At the same time, because the Gorgon, who possessed some of Tiamat's special abilities, was captured, the attacks of Warcraft were reduced a lot.

"It would be nice if there wasn't that inevitable ending of destruction~" Zhang Yi said as he looked at the prosperous city of Uruk. "What a pity~"

[Don't think too much about things that can't be changed.] Malcador's voice came from Chaldea [Let's work on things that can be changed.]

"I know. I'm just sighing." Zhang Yi responded. "Old man, you should also be careful. Don't let the members of the Mechanicus over there tear down Chaldea..."

"You should know better than me how much trouble these oil guys can make..."

[I really didn't expect that after so many years, the people of the Mechanicus would become like this] (Macato)

"Neither the Emperor nor the Great Sage Kaul had expected..."

[The method you want to contact the God of Creation will probably be available tomorrow] Malcador changed the subject. [Until then, please protect yourself...]

[You should be very clear about your importance to the current empire] (Malcador)

"Got it, old man~"

As Chaldea's communications were temporarily shut down, faint footsteps were heard from beside Zhang Yi.

"You walk so quietly, Master Hassan."

Appearing behind Zhang Yi was an old man wearing a cloak that covered his entire body. His face could not be seen clearly and he seemed to have blended into the surrounding darkness.

"Outsider, do you know what impact your actions will have?"

"It's nothing more than getting worse or better," Zhang Yi said. "If we change the existing successful outcome that is not good enough because of fear, how can human beings make progress?"

"You have to try, right? Don't you want to change some regrets?"

"..."

The man fell silent in response to Zhang Yi's answer.

"Besides, if we can solve this singularity problem like this, you can keep your old [Crown], right?" Zhang Yi continued. "Wouldn't it be good to use it to chop Goetia?"

"...Everything is destined. Goetia's destiny does not depend on me."

"Don't you want to try?"

"...I hope you can handle the variables you mentioned, the outsiders..."

When Zhang Yi turned around, the old man was no longer there. In response, Zhang Yi continued to look at the city in front of him.

"Hmm... to see the Gorgon?"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The central square of Uruk

In order to prevent the huge Gorgon from frightening the ordinary people of Uruk, a huge canopy was built, and a large number of Uruk soldiers, Pathfinder Space Marines and the Emperor's Guards were guarding the surrounding area.

After greeting the guards, Zhang Yi walked into the tent where Gorgon was. Under the illumination of several spotlights, Gorgon, bound by dark green black stone chains, appeared in front of Zhang Yi.

The Black Stone created by the Necrons is something that can affect psionic energy and the Warp in the Warhammer world. According to tests by Zhang Yi and others, it can also suppress some supernatural forces in other worlds.

The Gorgon is now a heroic spirit, existing under special rules and without a real body. These black stone shackles can have a good effect on her, greatly weakening her strength and preventing her from moving freely.

The black stone shackles would prevent Kingo from coming to the rescue - his body was Enkidu's, and was essentially a pile of dirt. Touching these shackles would only result in him suffering the same fate as Gorgon.

But in order to save Gorgon's life, Zhang Yi and others cannot hang a bunch of black stone things on her. Not to mention whether the oil man has so many black stones. If they use too much and send Gorgon away, Zhang Yi and others cannot guarantee that these things will be useful to Tiamat.

"It's really big~" Zhang Yi said as he looked at the Gorgon in front of him. "I don't understand why those Greek people like the type of Euryale. Isn't this good too?"

Zhang Yi then began to look around, and then he saw... Anna looking at him with disgust...

"Um... I mean she's really big..."

"Anna heard everything."

"...it's all the fault of lust." Zhang Yi pointed at his left arm and shifted the blame righteously.

Anna didn't say much about Zhang Yi's words, but looked at the bound Gorgon.

"Who would have thought that the Gorgon sisters, who were called monsters by the Greek gods, were actually just beautiful girls~" Zhang Yi said. "They just wanted to live peacefully forever on that isolated island..."

"But gods and human heroes want to destroy that little happiness."

"Do you know Anna's story?" said the short Anna.

"Just think of me as having [past vision], [future vision] or something like that." Zhang Yi said. "Although the stories in other worlds may not be like this, but in this world..."

"You and your sisters are all innocent people~"

"hehe..."

At this moment, a scornful laugh came from above their heads.

"Are you pitying her? Pitying our plight?!" Gorgon said. "Who caused all this?! Who destroyed our happiness?!"

"It's you! You are the so-called human heroes in the mouths of damned humans like you!"

"But, as far as I know, Euryale and Stheno were eaten by Medusa." Zhang Yi suddenly said. "They were devoured by their own sister who lost control."

Zhang Yi's words stunned Gorgon and Anna at the same time. It was obvious that they did not expect that Zhang Yi even knew this.

"And at that time, the two of them were willing..."

"say no more!"

Ding-a-ling-a-ling——!

The black stone chains that bound the Gorgons kept shaking, making noises, and the entire canopy began to shake as well.

"It's all because of you! It's all because of humans!" Gorgon roared. "It's all because of those human heroes!"

"You didn't mention Poseidon and Athena at all." Zhang Yi said. "They should be the culprits of all this, right?"

"So what?!" the Gorgon roared. "You humans are involved too! Human heroes who hunt us for status and fame!"

"Damn Perseus!"

"Then..." Zhang Yi said at this time. "If there was even one person who stood up to defend you and protect you..."

"Do you still hate humans so much?"

Zhang Yi's question stunned Gorgon. As the monster that Medusa transformed from by devouring her sister, she had never thought about this question before.

In other words, no matter which aspect of her, she had never thought about this problem...

"I know that you were summoned as a monster, as the side that hates humans, and with Goetia's guidance, it has almost become an instinct for you to hate and destroy humans." Zhang Yi continued. "But..."

"Have you ever thought about this question?"

This question was asked to both Gorgon and Anna - if there really was such a fool who stood against so many Greek heroes and gods for them, would the ending be different?

"...In that case, my sisters will probably be very happy..." Anna said after a moment of silence.

"Yes, now they have one more person to tease~" Zhang Yi continued.

"I don't hate humans anymore." Anna said. "The people of Uruk are very nice, unlike the heroes I remember meeting when I was alive..."

"And butter cake, right?"

In response to Zhang Yi's revelation, Anna pulled up her hood to cover her face.

"Most of those people are either sons of Greek gods or pawns in their hands," Zhang Yi said. "And most of the so-called heroes are just bandits or tools of the gods..."

"It's not like some pure white person next door."

"There are all kinds of people. If you can meet some different people, your ending will be different."

Anna didn't say anything, because even if it was true as Zhang Yi said, it was too late now. She and her sister were already dead and turned into heroic spirits.

"What difference can there be! Everyone is selfish!"

Gorgon was still emotional, and in this state she was undoubtedly most aware of the pain of personally devouring her beloved sister, and she also hated humans the most.

"It was them! And those gods! They killed my sisters! They ruined our happiness!"

And at the same time, I understand the pain most thoroughly...

"How pitiful." Zhang Yi looked at Gorgon, then at Anna.

"Anna, is it really a monster?" Anna suddenly asked. "Is our existence a mistake?"

"You know it yourself, don't you?" Zhang Yi said. "Gods, especially those who act recklessly, are the cause of most problems everywhere. Without them, all kinds of problems and tragedies would be reduced by more than half..."

"If a being that can feel pain, cry, and have emotions is a monster, then what should we call those cold gods?"

"...Thanks..."
