Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

Because of the Emperor's presence, the celebration banquet ended in silence. The Primarch's legions dispersed to various war zones to rest and prepare, while the Primarchs began to prepare for the short return trip.

The transport ships transformed into mimics will send the Primarchs and Flame and Thunder back to Terra at the fastest speed.

On the night after the war, Qin Mo quietly flipped through the detailed records of the Great Crusade, checking the information about the aliens and other human forces.

This was not to prepare for the strategy, but he just wanted to see this.

The Emperor sat opposite Qin Mo, crossing his legs and looking leisurely, but his expression was very serious as he looked at the file on his knees.

That was a file about subhumans.

In the short expedition so far, the Empire has discovered many kinds of aliens and subhumans.

The Emperor flipped through the files about those subhuman races.

"Cat people."

"Fish people."

After reading for a while, the Emperor put the document in his hand on the table and complained to Qin Mo: "There are many subspecies of humans. Some have cat heads and human bodies, and some have fish bodies and human heads in the ocean world. However, the scientific research institutions of the Empire have found that they are indeed human subspecies at the academic level after testing."

Qin Mo's attention shifted from the documents on the table to the Emperor: "How will these human subspecies be dealt with?"

The Empire's racial affairs are handled by Malcador. He is the Emperor's man. Qin Mo doesn't know too much about racial affairs, and he thinks Malcador's behavior will definitely be affected by the Emperor.

"I don't know." The Emperor shook his head. "Now I won't decide what the fate of a race is."

"Maybe..."

"Scientific research institutions will determine whether a race is a subspecies of humans from a genetic perspective. If so, they will probably be classified as subhumans by the Ministry of Government Affairs. As for how to do it, this is something that the Imperial Parliament needs to discuss."

After saying that he would not interfere with the rule at all, the Emperor thought about it and said something that Qin Mo would be very concerned about: "If it were according to my idea, I think those subhumans should be assigned to a galaxy, a world, and they would reproduce within themselves instead of reproducing with normal humans, and then they would get everything that normal people have."

"Starport, school, living security..."

"It's not their fault that they are subhumans, it's the fault of many humans in the past, they shouldn't die."

After listening to what the Emperor said, Qin Mo agreed very much, and at the same time felt that it was too good that he didn't appear ten thousand years later.

The 30k human empire is still very civilized and rational.

A subhuman race that doesn't look like a human will be discussed by scientific research institutions and the Imperial Parliament about the fate of the race, instead of whether they live or die being decided by the Pope of the State Religion.

No matter how alien-looking the subhumans are, even if they will be slaughtered by the Astartes after seeing them ten thousand years later, they can still have a place in the 30th millennium.

"The problem of subhumans is just one of the countless problems in this expedition." Qin Mo put the files of the human forces he had checked in front of the Emperor, "Now the isolated human forces in the galaxy are also all kinds of strange."

"There is a world where the Thunder Warriors conquered it and slaughtered the aliens who enslaved humans, and then found that the slaughtered aliens were transformed by the ancestors of the enslaved humans from their own kind."

"There is also a world where it has an advanced energy technology in the 20th millennium of mankind, and the people there live a utopian life until the Astartes hit them."

"All kinds of strange things, there are all kinds of places."

Speaking of this, Qin Mo sighed and couldn't help but sigh.

The Emperor had a blank expression on his face, without any feeling: "Humans are always like this, even in the good times of the human race. Cruel slavery and massacres coexist with the spread of civilized rationality and material and spiritual assistance to weak races."

"When I could still hide among the masses, there were two very extreme organizations."

"One organization would use babies as materials for psychic technology, establish slavery, call people with psychic talents superiors, and call people without psychic talents inferior apes."

"And the other organization, they have the most advanced medical technology, treating any patients they can find in the galaxy, no matter what race the patient is, poor or rich, as long as they can be found by the disease detector that scans a range of ten light years, they will receive complete free treatment."

"So humans have never been a monolithic entity, and it is impossible to reach complete agreement in form and thought."

The Emperor took the document and read it carefully.

When he saw that the end of the civilized world that Qin Mo said was that the Astartes forcibly took over the ruling power of the planet and drew out 30% of the young and middle-aged people to serve in the mortal army, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"There are such beautiful and bright people in every era, but they can never expand or grow stronger. They can only live their good lives in a small place and pray that they will not be discovered. However, they will be discovered, but it will only be a flash in the pan."

"Outside that beautiful civilized world, humans in tens of thousands of worlds are suffering, and the suffering they endure is even more diverse than we can imagine."

After speaking, the emperor looked at Qin Mo quietly, and it was obvious that he still had something to say.

After hesitating for a long time, the Emperor said: "Whether it is the civilized world, the subhuman race, or anything else, the specialized agencies will handle it properly, and we don't have to worry too much."

"That's why you always lock yourself in the laboratory." Qin Mo said, "You want humans to rule themselves, so you refuse to participate in anything in the parliament."

The Emperor nodded: "Yes."

Qin Mo did not comment on this, because he did not often participate in the affairs of the parliament.

He also agreed to put the fate of mortals in the hands of mortals themselves.

But that will be after everything is settled.

"Give Astartes a seat in the parliament." Qin Mo suddenly said.

"Yes." The Emperor agreed unexpectedly readily, "I will not vote against it this time. If both of us agree, the Astartes seat can be finalized without going through the parliament."

The Emperor then explained why he had voted against it in the past: "At this point in the Great Crusade, it has become clear which of the Primarchs has better leadership and who has more prestige in the Legion. Horus also has enough prestige, so he can directly appoint an Astartes to attend the parliament without any opposition."

"I refused before because I was worried that it would be impossible to add more than one seat. At the beginning of the Great Crusade, the Primarchs who were dissatisfied with each other and their respective Legions would have a fierce struggle."

When the Emperor gave the reason, Qin Mo nodded: "That's why I am now formally asking you to vote with me."
