Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

"solved."

The World Shaper and the Void Dragon can no longer sense the existence of the Supreme Star God in the main dimension, which means that they have undoubtedly been thrown into the hypercube maze.

The Void Dragon turned to look at the World Shaper, wanting to tell it something.

But the World Shaper was deep in thought, and after a long time he spoke to the Void Dragon: "I feel like there are pieces of me in the guy we just dealt with."

"When we finish what we need to do and go back, you and your fragments will be fused together." The Void Dragon clenched his palms, and the green lightning and information flow spread further, "Just like me."

"I'm not worried about not being able to integrate, it's just..." The World Shaper hesitated, "I'm just exchanging essence for completeness. I really don't know if this trade is worth it."

Hearing this guy's doubts about the importance of integrity and essence, Void Dragon thought for a while, pointed at the World Shaper and said: "Of course, integrity is more important, just like you, you didn't have this kind of character before, but because you changed Becoming a fragment, you have forgotten many things, even your own identity, and you do not even realize the importance of completeness.”

"We have to make a choice, whether we like it or not, just like two rotten souls, we have to choose the less rotten one to eat."

"When you become more complete, you will understand what is truly important."

After hearing what the Void Dragon said, the World Shaper simply responded: "Anyway, I have handed over my essence. I just want to hear your opinion."

The Void Dragon didn't want to say anything and turned around to look at the mines on the planet.

That's where the dimensional rift opened by the Necrons is. Now that the Supreme Star God has been defeated, the remaining enemies have nothing to worry about.

But the Sotec Dynasty has mastered a method that can tear open a more stable dimensional rift, and it takes advantage of the characteristics of the real universe itself. This dimensional rift will not last forever after it is opened, but will only last for about a few months. This is The disadvantage, but the advantage is that unless this dimensional rift is opened naturally, even the person who opened it cannot close it unless it heals naturally.

This planet obviously still needs defense forces. Fortunately, the mortal army is rushing here. As long as this planet, which has been built by the world shapers into a perfect natural fortress world, is equipped with troops, the Necrons will no longer have the possibility to occupy the Barron Galaxy. .

"What happened now." The World Shaper said as the Void Dragon was thinking about business. "The Forger became a leader? The Star Gods have always fought independently, except for the extremely weak ones, but now except for the Nightbringer In addition, you and Burner, the two strongest men in the past, are also serving under its command. Times have really changed."

"If we had been able to unite together in the beginning, we would not have been defeated one by one by the Necrontyr." The Void Dragon said seriously, "We should learn from each other and gain wisdom, but our group still has no moral and credit concepts. To unite us requires some cruel methods, such as using our essence as a means to blackmail us, but this is obviously a matter of course. What the Forgers are doing is to prevent the C'tan from being attacked by the Necrontyr again. Broken dead end.”

"The Necrontyr?" asked the World Shaper. "Do those Iron Skeletons still think of themselves as the same fragile race of short-lived ghosts?"

"The Forger once met and talked with Szalac. When introducing the past history, Szalac said that the Necrontyr had become extinct." The Void Dragon said, "Those traitors with mortal bodies were just replaced with iron shells. , I can name these ants whatever I want, the point is that I want to, not that I should.”

"But we were crushed by the ants in your mouth."

"Yes, so I say that we should cooperate and unite, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before we are crushed by those ants. Think about it, if you don't join us and you wander in the universe, what will be your end? Do you think you will With Saranoga's actions, how can the Necrontyr dare not come to you? Don't talk nonsense, it's an established fact that you and I will hand over our essence."

"I feel like you're wearing the same pants as the Forger."

When the two Star Gods began to argue, the World Shaper bluntly stated what he suspected: "You wore a pair of pants tens of millions of years ago, and you still wear them now. It is hard for me not to doubt that you gave the Forger the essence to carry out the process. Blackmail idea."

"You have been used as a slave by the Necrontyr for too long. You don't know anything, Igrania." The Void Dragon said, "The forger is not the original one. He looks like a human now. Don't you notice? You like to be suspicious, why don’t you guess why the caster always looks like a human being?”

The World Shaper still wanted to argue, but the Void Dragon's next words blocked its mouth.

"I was broken by the Forger."

The Void Dragon already knew this truth, after it became complete.

It recalled that when it fought with Saranoga, Saranoga obviously knew about it but deceived itself, and it couldn't help but feel angry.

"What?" The World Shaper was surprised. It was broken in front of the Void Dragon, so it didn't know about it.

"I don't need to deceive you." said the Void Dragon. "After I became complete, I did not go to the Forger to seek revenge, because my essence was pinched by it. I was forced to calm down, and then in a desolate heart Thinking on the planet.”

"In the war to close the Warp Rift, the Forge refused to deploy us anywhere where there might be Warp influence. It undoubtedly had our best interests in mind, and it was kind."

"If I want you to do something, Igrania, I will force you. This is our inertial thinking. We are not aware of the concept of cooperation. In the thinking of most of our star gods, there is only slavery and Being enslaved, forced and forced, threatened and threatened, this leads to us sometimes standing together, but mutual harm and suspicion are indispensable. "

"When our species, the pampered children of the real universe, were crushed one by one, I understood that although we are powerful, at the ideological level, we are not even as good as the physical mortals in the pre-civilization stage who drank hair and blood. At least two of us stood upright. Apes will really put their backs on each other.”

The words spoken by the void dragon left the World Shaper deep in thought.

Cooperation is a concept that feels extremely novel to the World Shaper. Just a second ago, it thought that all the Star Gods around the Forger were enslaved by it, including itself.

"Igrania. My former enemy. If we are still giants in strength and ants in thought, then we will continue to get trapped in cocoons time and time again in our bottomless greed, and in each other's suspicion and infighting. Defeated once again by the ants we despise," Void Dragon said.

The World Shaper thought again and nodded slowly.

The Void Dragon no longer instills its own ideas.

One persuasion can't change much. What's important is that the world shaper has already been joined. Handing over a part of the essence means choosing the latter between being locked up in a maze as an energy envoy and accepting new rules.
