Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

……

"The Karnak Dynasty has obtained the soul."

"They officially announced their independence from the rule of the Triumvirate a few days ago and formed a military alliance with the Kasa Dynasty."

At the meeting of the Triumvirate, the Grand Justice next to the Silent King announced what had happened recently.

All the emperors and overlords of the dynasties were silent.

The Silent King still said nothing.

Imotek still stood opposite the Silent King.

The destruction of Mandala, the tomb world of the Sotek Dynasty's capital, and the destruction of the Rebirth Protocol, these two major events did not allow Imotek to leave the forefront of the war with humans, but it came directly to participate in the meeting held today.

The reason is nothing else, just because the things discussed today are too important.

The entire race is facing the most terrible crisis-division.

"Is the soul that the Karnak Dynasty obtained from that demigod the soul of our ancestors?" asked a emperor who did not think that the Necrons were still necrophiles.

"It's not the soul of the Necron." The Justice, who didn't think that the Necrons had anything to do with the Necron, said, "It's a soul created by drawing characteristics from our side relatives tens of millions of years ago. It's not the soul of the Necron. The individual endowed with such a soul is completely another race, and there is no inheritance relationship between them and the Necron."

"This kind of thing...how could you know it so clearly? If I were the demigod, I would tell the people of the Karnak Dynasty that this is the soul of the Necron, and deceive them with lies so that they don't have any grudges."

"You would do that. But the problem is that the demigod didn't do that. He clearly told the Karnak Dynasty that if they got the soul, it would not be the soul of the Necron."

"How could this be? Didn't he want to divide us? If he knew that he couldn't give everyone The souls of our ancestors, the number of dynasties that can be won over by him will be greatly reduced, and only the dynasties that do not think that they have a patriarchal relationship with our ancestors will stand on his side. "

"But the soul is drawn from the side relatives of the Necrontyr. In the eyes of some dynasties, it is better to have a soul than to be a robot."

"The Anteko Dynasty and the Karnak Dynasty have a good relationship. I have met the King of Karnak. After having a soul... it... it is really different... It really looks like an immortal intelligent creature, not a robot..."

"Hearing what you said, it seems that the human demigod is not bad... He is not completely doing soul-related things with utilitarian purposes..."

"..."

The Kings and Overlords discussed more and more off topic, and finally came to the conclusion that the Lord of Talon seemed to be quite good.

This naturally made Imotek very dissatisfied.

"I have to remind you." Imotek paced in front of the Overlords, as if scolding them, "Our souls were swallowed and digested by the Star God. Even if we have souls again, we can't go back to the past, and we can't be the same as when we were still soul species!"

In the past, other dynasties probably wouldn't refute Imotek's words, even if they were dissatisfied or questioned.

If the refutation should be made, it should be the people who support the Silent King after the Silent King speaks.

But it's different now.

"Yes, Lord Storm King." Before the war with humans, the Emperor Koren, who was beheaded by Imotek in public, said, "Just like the Sotek Dynasty, Sotek has lost the Mandala Capital Tomb World, even the Rebirth Protocol is gone, and the database storing the dynasty's memory is also lost. Such a Sotek can't be compared with the former Sotek Dynasty."

"Watch your words!" Imotek pointed at Emperor Koren.

"Watch your words." Emperor Colen raised his iron head, "My brother is right beside me. You don't have a rebirth agreement. If he kills you, you will really die."

"I demand a duel!" Imotek angrily faced the three emperors of the Triumvirate, including the King of Silence.

The King of Silence glanced at the Grand Justice.

The Grand Justice said softly: "We are now in a state of war. According to the regulations, we should at least maintain superficial unity, so..."

"We, the Death-fearers, are a martial race. Any regulations are based on the absolute force of the Triumvirate." A emperor questioned the Grand Justice, "What does the Triumvirate rely on to ensure the operation of the regulations now? Ten patrol fleets?"

Hearing this, even Imotek, who has always challenged Szalak's authority, was angry.

The Storm King shifted his gaze from the Triumvirate to behind him, and then discovered something.

This thing is that compared to the last meeting of the Triumvirate, the positions of the emperors and overlords were more dispersed, instead of either standing behind Szalak or behind himself.

The Hierophants and Overlords stood in groups of three or five, scattered around.

Those who stood together were often those who shared the same purpose and ideas.

For example, the dynasties that did not approve of having souls again would stand together.

For example, those who believed that the Necrontyr were the ancestors of the Necrons, or that the Necrons were soulless Necrontyr, would also stand together.

But not all the disagreements were about souls.

The dynasties that had always tried to challenge the authority of the Triarchy also stood together.

Even the dynasties that had a feud with the Sotek Dynasty stood together.

In such a large-scale meeting, the conflicts between dynasties are often not reflected in the form of positions on major issues related to race, and those individual conflicts will be temporarily ignored.

But now...

"Your Excellency the Storm King."

When Imotek was in a trance, a dynasty emperor wearing armor instead of a dress stood up.

The emperor of the Samuri Dynasty.

Imotek was planning to settle accounts with this emperor after attending the meeting of the Three Holy Council.

The Samuri Dynasty and the Sotec Dynasty are sworn enemies. The Karnak Dynasty is a weak dynasty. How could they turn against it just because they want to, and immediately help the human iron man to kill into the Mandala?

That must be the secret help of the Samuri Dynasty.

And this dynasty firmly believes that they are the descendants of the Necrontyr race.

"The Samuri Dynasty will go to the front to fight." The Emperor said, "Assign a combat duty to my dynasty. You can command my generals and troops, just in time to replace your captured crowned general Zahdek."

"Will going to the front make it easier for you to trade with the human demigod?" Imotek asked.

The Samuri Emperor shook his head slightly: "No matter what you think, this is not a request. The difference between your agreement and not is that the Samuri Dynasty will follow your orders or fight alone after arriving at the front."

The Emperor responded to the Storm King contemptuously, then glanced at everyone and turned away.

All the other emperors and overlords of the dynasties who believed that the Necrontyr was their ancestor also left together.

The Samuri Emperor talked as he walked.

"There is nothing to discuss in this meeting. Next time, don't send the orders of the Triarchal Council directly to me. Send them to my Archon."

"The Samuri Dynasty was the original dynasty on the home planet of the Deathfearers before the biological transformation. Even after the biological transformation, we will not lose this identity and self-awareness."

"You are either usurpers of power or lowly people who have forgotten their ancestors and bloodlines. I can't talk to you."
