Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

Flash.

Orikan found himself in the void. He raised his hand and saw surging energy.

Although he had left his original body and did not use so many wearable equipment, he could still feel the energy in his body.

If the energy in his body is likened to light, then the light released by the sun is like the faint light of a firefly in front of him.

But before Orikan could notice too much about his changes, the surging hunger almost occupied all his perceptions.

Hunger.

Endless hunger.

Orikan subconsciously pounced on the star, greedily absorbing the energy of the star.

The hunger was relieved, but it was like a mortal tasting a tasteless food. This eating behavior could not bring any taste satisfaction at all. The feeling of eating just to relieve hunger was unbearable for Orikan.

But hunger was relieved after all. Orikan's strong willpower allowed him to adapt quickly and use a trace of reason to do what he had planned to do long ago in the boundless hunger.

This matter is to experience and feel.

Orikan recalled many things.

Star God, Necrontyr.

Then, before Orikan realized it, his mind stood on the side of the Star God.

Just thinking of the Necrontyr, a race with souls, he felt a kind of hatred - hatred that the Necrontyr had been extinct and he could not taste the soul of that mortal race.

Orikan then thought that the Necrontyr was just an ant race, why did they dare to crush the Star God?

For such an ant race, being eaten by the Star God is already a supreme honor. Why can't they honestly accept the result of their soul offering?

These damn ants!

Orikan wanted to kill Szalak and Imotek immediately, and then completely destroy these two high-ranking slaves.

It was not because he felt resentment towards the resistance of the Necrontyr, an ant race, but because they died too early, and Orikan himself did not taste their souls, that's all.

But when it thought of the large number of intelligent life forms that it could eat among the stars, it no longer hated the Necrontyr and the Star Gods who tasted souls before it, and it immediately flew to a nearby galaxy with intelligent life.

What a great power.

Even if most of the life forms in the galaxy got rid of the gravity that bound them, they could not get rid of the superluminal speed limit that bound them.

There are too many races in the galaxy to count, but only a few races, including humans, undead and Eldar, have the ability to travel at superluminal speed in the strict sense.

But the Star God will not be bound.

Whether it is the restrictions of natural laws or something else, nothing can stop the free thinking of a spoiled darling of the real universe.

When Orikan wants to fly at superluminal speed, it can.

The harsh environment of the void cannot limit it at all. Those astronomical distances that even the Coffin Guards and the Triumvirate Guards have to honestly take transport planes or use technology to cross, or the atmosphere that needs to be passed to reach the surface of the planet, are just obstacles that can be easily crossed with a thought.

The natural laws that ants cannot modify but can only use with their thoughts are nothing more than garbage that can be easily shaped, twisted, or completely smashed by a thought, just like kneading mud.

Too powerful.

Too free.

The only remaining trace of Orikan's rationality can make it feel so emotional, and can also make it remember that it was just a weak steel ant just now.

But when the intelligent life in that galaxy did not know that it was about to encounter a catastrophe of destruction and was unprepared, the catastrophe of destruction itself was gone.

Orikan instantly left the Star God state, and when it was separated, it missed its body so much that it even moved its body in the ship into the void instantly.

Recalling the various thoughts in the Star God state just now, Orikan was shocked that he actually had such a thought, and that he actually thought that the Necrontyr was just an ant who should sacrifice his soul to satisfy the desires of the greatest existence in the universe.

The body froze in the void.

Orikan's consciousness was still active, but the whole person was drifting in the void.

Its body was not strong, and even when it fought with Taraxin, it just pulled his head and hit him with a stick, so it had no ability to move in the void.

Orikan watched himself drifting farther and farther, until a man flew out of his ship, came to him, and dragged him back to the ship.

It was Qin Mo.

He flew unprotected in the void, grabbed the bulge on Orikan's delicate head, and dragged him back to the ship where he was conducting ascension research.

After returning to the ship, Orikan lay motionless on the floor of the ship, looking up at the bottomless sky.

Just like when he was drifting in the void just now.

The feeling of falling from a god to a mortal troubled Orikan. He didn't want to accept that he had become that weak steel ant, lying on the ground like a child, playing tricks for something that he could never get again.

"I told you, you can't ascend forever." Qin Mo walked to the top of Orikan's head and looked down at him.

Orikan lay down.

As the most powerful astrologer of the Necrons and one of the noblest members of the nobility, the dignity of this identity prevented it from crying out to a foreign barbarian.

But after a long silence, Orikan couldn't help asking: "You...you are...how did you do it...why can you maintain the state of Star God forever?"

"I don't know either." Qin Mo told the truth, "If I knew, I would let the human race ascend first."

Orikan raised his hand to cover his face.

Falling from a god to a mortal is not the most uncomfortable thing. After all, research can continue, and the facts have proved that this research idea is indeed feasible.

But Orikan is still very sober. It knows that the reason why it did not maintain the state of Star God for a long time is not because the energy injected by Qin Mo is not strong enough or not durable enough, but because there are still many problems in its own research. The injection of energy alone cannot keep it in the state of Star God forever, even if Qin Mo injects energy into it 24 hours a day.

This is the most uncomfortable thing. I don't know how long the road ahead is.

If it weren't for the power of Star God that can distort all material things, Orikan didn't know whether he could achieve ascension in a short time with sufficient energy.

"Do you also have a plan for ascension? Want to let the human species ascend to a higher level of existence?" Orikan put down his hand.

"Yes." Qin Mo nodded, "But like you, I have encountered a problem that seems to have no solution at all."

Orekan was silent for a moment and looked away: "I wish I were a human."
