Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

After returning to the cabin from the edge of the cliff, the Emperor, who wanted to be quiet, suddenly found that Malcador, like him, was using psychic energy to conduct the banquet, and he himself was not in the meeting room at all.

Encountering such an embarrassing thing, the Emperor had to talk to Malcador.

Fortunately, psychic communication is very simple and direct. In just a few seconds, Malcador knew everything.

"He really cares about those who follow him."

"He is also very human, so he can't wait. He just wants to take revenge on Merson. There is no way. He can't look at things as coldly as we do."

Malcador calmly speculated on the reason.

The Emperor listened silently, and he also agreed with Malcador's speculation.

However, the Emperor wanted to hear Malcador's perfect advice as always, rather than just speculating on Qin Mo's reasons.

"Suppose there is such a situation," said Malcador. "If one day we can make the Pan-Pacific Empire surrender, but this Pan-Pacific Empire is in the same situation as Merson, then should we force the surrender of the Pan-Pacific Empire and ignore the hatred of our allies, or should we prioritize the feelings of our allies?"

"If our allies can think like us, we won't have to face such a situation." said the Emperor.

"If our allies can think like us." Malcador spread his hands, "We can't build trust at all. We will still suspect that he is a star god waiting to devour human souls, and even think that our souls are the first on his menu."

"Is our way of thinking so cold?" asked the Emperor.

"We immortals are accustomed to looking at problems from a more macro perspective." Malcador expressed his feelings, "Even if an ordinary person's life is a tragedy, it is just a flash from a macro perspective."

The Emperor thought about it and felt that Malcador was right as always.

He began to suspect that Malcador would say next that the mistake in this matter was his.

But Malcador didn't say that. He said in a deep voice: "You are all right. You didn't make him give up revenge completely. You just made him wait, even if he didn't want to wait. And he cares about things, just like you. The things he cares about make him want to kill Merson as soon as possible. He just can't stand in front of his people and persuade them rationally like you persuaded him."

The Emperor nodded.

Malcador continued: "But there is one good thing, that is, our ally is also rational. He thought about what to do after his revenge and thought he could arrange everything properly, so that the consequences of Merson's death are infinitely small."

After speaking, Malcador narrowed his eyes and carefully thought about Qin Mo's reason for killing Merson in the words relayed by the Emperor.

Compared to a few people, Qin Mo obviously cares more about the majority, so he thinks that as long as the people ruled by Merson completely surrender, that's enough.

But as one of the leaders, Merson's death will have an impact.

In the end, Malcador simply looked at the Emperor and offered advice: "Make a decision. We have encountered more troublesome things, and no matter what trouble there is, there is a solution."

The Emperor looked aside and thought.

...

After the surrender was thoroughly discussed, all the leaders were escorted back to their respective territories by the Imperial Guard to deal with affairs.

The Eagle Kingdoms and the Dragon Kingdoms will unite, and then the people of this large land outside the Himalayas will fight for the same cause.

As Merson sat on the carriage on the way back, he told his servants about his secret joy, happy that he did not die in the Himalayas and would establish an eternal rule under the protection of the Lord of Thunder.

The Emperor was watching him.

The psychic power of the most powerful psychic and immortal in human history was penetrating every pore of Merson, and Merson, as a powerful psychic, was unaware of it.

But Merson did not immediately react to the powerful psychic power. It was obvious that the Emperor was also hesitating and thinking.

Finally, the Emperor, standing by the window in the cabin, made a decision, and the fingers of his hands behind his back moved.

Merson's soul was instantly extracted and annihilated. The physical body of this psychic leader twitched a few times and died quietly in the carriage.

No matter what the cause of death was after his body was found, everyone on Terra, everyone who saw Merson's body and only knew about this person's death in the future, will only think that Merson's death was caused by sudden death.

Sudden death caused by the well-known genetic disease of the Merson family.

At this moment, the Emperor felt that what Malcador said before made sense, about the importance of communication.

In fact, this is not a big problem at all. He just wants Qin Mo to be prepared for similar compromises that may occur in the future.

It was originally a matter that could be solved by just explaining it clearly, but in the end, the two of them parted unhappily.

The Emperor turned around slowly, and he decided to go to the mobile fortress to talk to Qin Mo.

But when he had this idea, a sonic boom came from the air, and then the door of the cabin was quickly pushed open.

"Merson is dead?" Qin Mo, who jumped over from the mobile fortress, looked at the emperor in surprise. Nagase Ken, who was lurking around the Merson convoy and preparing to take action, discovered the death of this enemy.

The emperor thought about it expressionlessly, and finally shook his head: "I don't know."

"Who did it?" Qin Mo asked.

The emperor shook his head.

"Oh, you did it." Qin Mo said as if the emperor directly admitted it, "Thank you for helping me kill this guy."

"It wasn't because of you that I killed him." The emperor said calmly.

"It turns out it was for me. I thought you found out that Merson was corrupted by Chaos, so you killed him." Qin Mo said.

"..."

The Emperor wondered whether you heard me or not.

The reason why he refused to admit that he had killed Merson was not because the Emperor's problem of not being good at expressing himself had recurred, but because he felt that no one should know that Merson's death was unnatural.

"If I had to choose between important allies and surrenders, then of course I would choose important allies. After all, allies are more valuable." The Emperor said, "I did the killing of Merson. , but don’t announce this to your people as a reward for me.”

Qin Mo nodded.

Even Takeshi Nagase, who was lurking in Merson's motorcade, didn't know the truth. What he reported was that Merson suddenly died suddenly because he saw the group of people suddenly change from laughing and joking to crying and fighting, killing Merson. The corpse was placed into the stasis field.

"Even if I don't use my psychic powers to kill Merson and just send out a random Imperial Guard, Merson will die quietly, but it won't be so perfect." The Emperor said suddenly.

Qin Mo nodded, wondering what the emperor meant when he suddenly said this.

The emperor lowered his head, checked his nails, and said casually: "By the way, the Imperial Army is quite strong."

Qin Mo sighed and felt helpless: "Well, I was wrong to say those words in the laboratory. The Forbidden Army is the most powerful transformation warrior. In fact, I have always felt so."
