The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

After curing the emperor, Chen Mo did not leave Holy Terra.

Instead, with the cooperation of Trajan, the current Grand Marshal of the Forbidden Army, he began to build statues of gods on Terra.

During the Era of Strife 10,000 years ago, the Emperor unified the then-divided Holy Terra, destroyed all the idols and religions on the Earth at that time, and burned all myths and religious texts in order to free humanity from humankind. Eliminate belief in gods from your thoughts.

However, ten thousand years have passed, and the empire has lost its old gods, but it has put the emperor on the altar and made him a new god. It must be said that it is a great irony.

But for the Emperor, if becoming a god could save mankind, he wouldn't mind becoming a god.

It seems that for ten thousand years, the Emperor has had too many opportunities to interfere with the Human Empire, but he has never banned the Empire's national religion, and has acquiesced in many behaviors that in his opinion are simply betrayal of humanity.

For the Emperor, anything that is beneficial to the overall survival of humanity is within the scope of his permission.

Of course, except for believing in the Four Evil Gods, that is not a way for humans to continue to exist. It just makes humans the prey of the Four Evil Gods.

And now, the Empire of Man, so beloved by the Emperor, needed him to become a god.

"I can't understand." Standing next to Chen Mo, Marshal Trajan of the Forbidden Army looked up at the giant statue of the god under construction, and expressed his doubts to Chen Mo: "The emperor has never been a god, and he has never thought that he is God, why would you order the state religion to build a statue for him now?"

As the first person summoned by the emperor after his return, Trajan was undoubtedly trusted and valued by the emperor.

After all, to a certain extent, the Emperor's trust in the Custodes was far greater than that of the Primarch.

But even so, Trajan, as the Marshal of the Forbidden Army, only understood what he should do, but did not know why he did what he did.

It was as if the emperor personally ordered a tall statue to be erected in front of the palace gate of Terra, and specifically ordered Trajan to personally lead the imperial army to take charge of this matter. This made the marshal of the imperial army incomprehensible.

"If it were Constantine, he would never have these boring emotions." Chen Mo didn't care about the eyes of this high lord of the empire and the supreme commander of the Imperial Army. In a sense, he was an important figure in the empire second only to the Primarch. Doubtful, I just told him: "All construction steps must be carried out strictly in accordance with the drawings I gave you. Every brick and material must be consecrated and worshiped by the state priest and the most devout believer before it can be used for the construction of the statue. Any carvings and decorations must also be done by the most devout nuns.

No trace of blasphemy is allowed, and no trace of error is allowed. All you have to do is to ensure that the statue can be completed on time and with high quality as required. Nothing else matters. "

Chen Mo's attitude made Trajan very uncomfortable, but he obviously could not disobey the order from the emperor himself, so he could only turn around with resentment and devote his emotions and questions to the work in front of him.

With the personal supervision of the Emperor's Imperial Guard, and because it was a politically correct thing to build a statue for the Emperor, all administrative departments in the human empire gave it 120,000 points of support without any slack. and procrastination.

The Imperial State Religion even sent out an astral language broadcast to the entire human empire for this purpose, requiring all shrine worlds belonging to the Imperial State Religion to select the most devout believers to come to Holy Terra to participate in the construction of the statue.

In addition, the Imperial State Church also recruited a large number of craftsmen and materials needed to build statues from these shrine worlds to build statues that in their minds were worthy of the glory of the God Emperor.

"Compared to Constantine, he is indeed a little worse, but he is still loyal to his duties." The emperor's voice sounded in Chen Mo's ears, and a shadow that only Chen Mo could see appeared next to him.

After the Emperor's return, because he regained control of his body, the Emperor's control of his huge power became much more refined, allowing him to appear anywhere in the Human Empire and talk to anyone in this way.

Chen Mo didn't find anything strange about this. He just glanced at the emperor's shadow and said, "It will take some time to build the statue. Can you still bear it?"

"Regaining control of my body has slightly improved my endurance. Although I can't hold on longer, at least there is no problem in delaying until the plan is completed." The emperor's shadow answered Chen Mo's question. He didn't care about himself. , the more concerned thing is still the human empire: "The most important thing right now is to maintain the stability of the empire until the entire plan is implemented smoothly."

Chen Mo nodded in agreement with this point and said to the emperor: "The biggest problem facing your empire right now is not the invasion of the Tyranid swarm. My fleet and most of the assembled imperial troops are there. Although It can indeed resist the Tyranid swarm's attack, but it also concentrates almost all available forces on this front, which is very dangerous."

"Yes, if the forces of Chaos take this opportunity to pour out from the Eye of Terror, Cadia's existing military strength alone cannot resist it." As the greatest commander of mankind in the past, the Emperor's strategic vision is naturally no problem: " So I need your help in getting Necron reinforcements to the Gates of Cadia."

Regarding the emperor's request, Chen Mo hesitated.

It wasn't that he wasn't willing to support the Human Empire, or that he couldn't mobilize the Necron army. It wasn't that he felt there was anything wrong with the Emperor's strategy.

"I shouldn't be the one to come forward in this matter. You should let Sanguinius ask for help from the Silent King himself and send White Scar's fleet to reinforce it." Chen Mo shook his head slightly and told the emperor what he wanted to do. suggestion.

Although when he was still a Hammer, everyone said that the Emperor would not lead a major rebellion as a human being, but after he really came into contact with the Emperor, he realized that the Emperor was really not a human being.

In other words, all the Emperor's emotions have been given to the concept and the whole of humanity. As long as it is for the sake of humanity as a whole, the Emperor can sacrifice anything, which includes everything in the Human Empire and the Emperor himself.

No single individual, not even a Primarch, could receive from the Emperor more love and other emotions than he felt for any individual human.

Even to a certain extent, the Primarch is inferior to ordinary humans. At least ordinary humans are loved by the Emperor as members of the human race, while the Primarch...

Sorry, they are just tools created by the Emperor.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Jaghatai Khan said that all emperors were liars, and that Horus was unable to insist on his will and loyalty when faced with the temptation of Chaos during the Great Heresy.

Because of this, when the Emperor dealt with many problems, he never considered the feelings of those involved.

It was the same when dealing with Angron, the same was true when dealing with Lorgar, and it was the same now when dealing with matters like the Necrons calling for help.

Although it was the most efficient way for the Emperor to directly request reinforcements from Chen Mo, one of the Three Saints of the Necrons, this obviously ignored the feelings of Sanguinius as the Regent at this moment.

Although Sanguinius would have no objections to this, and would even gladly return the supreme power of the Empire to the Emperor, this was not a suitable choice.

"Sanguinius is now the Regent of the Empire, and this kind of matter should be left to him to deal with. One of the reasons is to have many gates, whether it is an army or a country, it is a disaster.

Since Sanguinius is now the Regent, and you do not plan to officially return to the Empire, all decrees for the Empire will be issued from Sanguinius to highlight his authority. "Chen Mo explained to the emperor, and also explained another reason: "As for the second, my orders to the Necron dynasties are only based on the authority of the Three Saints Council. This is not an identity that can impose orders and prohibitions.

Rather than asking me to order the Necron army to reinforce the Gates of Cadia, it would be much more useful for Sanguinius to directly make a formal request to the Silent King, who has already established an alliance and cooperation with the Empire, and will also be able to gain more. cooperation. "

For Chen Mo, explaining so much is actually a very redundant thing.

But from another perspective, he must explain clearly to avoid more trouble.

Especially now that the emperor is about to become a god, Chen Mo doesn't want a god who is completely cold, devoid of humanity and emotions to appear. That will be a terrible disaster.

It is for this reason that Chen Mo reminded the emperor: "I hope you understand that human nature is the most important anchor for the gods to maintain themselves. If the gods lose their humanity, they will also lose themselves. Under the erosion of faith, it becomes an idol worshiped in the hearts of believers, which is just a symbol."

This is Chen Mo's experience and his efforts to avoid the worst outcome.

After all, it would be catastrophic, even devastating, in every sense of the word, if the Emperor did lose his last shred of humanity.

The Emperor did not mind losing his humanity, though he knew it was important.

"I will inform Sanguinius and ask him to do as you ask." The emperor gave a reply, but at the same time he also emphasized to Chen Mo: "As for humanity, I will retain my humanity as much as possible until Plan accomplished.”

There is no doubt that for the Emperor, everything is just a chip on the table, it just depends on when is the time to put it on the table.

Chen Mo looked at the emperor helplessly. Of course he understood what the emperor meant, but in that case the individual named emperor would completely cease to exist.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo could only shake his head regretfully and said: "Since you have already made a decision, I can't force you, but please be sure not to let things turn into the worst possible situation."

After saying that, Chen Mo said nothing more and turned around to check the progress of the statue's construction.

And the emperor's shadow immediately dissipated.
