Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

At the top of Terra's towering navigation tower, the Emperor held a cup of drink and admired the latest giant statue built on Terra.

Soldiers wearing the power armor of the Mortal Auxiliary Army, scholars wearing white clothing, workers wearing engineering power armor... They are shaped by a special metal that is classified as adamantine.

They huddled together, holding high the banner of the Imperial Sky Eagle.

Above them, the Flame Thunder Eagle floated with its wings spread out, its sharp eagle eyes looking towards the starry sky of Terra.

A large number of newly built warships left Terra's star port and slowly passed by in groups in the night sky above the giant statue.

The emperor watched all this with joy.

Prosperous Terra, gradually recovering ecology.

An era belongs to mankind, an era that is more prosperous and powerful than the peak of mankind in the past is about to come.

boom--

A sudden sonic boom suddenly drew the Emperor's attention back to him.

The Emperor turned around, leaned on the railing and looked at the visitor: "If the existence in the subspace does not target us, the human race will eventually be more prosperous than it was 20,000 years ago."

"They should have been targeting us, or have been targeting us for a long time." Qin Mo said ambiguously, "To be honest, I really didn't expect that they didn't prepare to do anything until now. This is what I didn't expect." Unreached.”

"They." The Emperor smiled and shook his head, "They are not them. They are a collection of many concepts and emotions in the subspace. They actually have no self. Maybe for some reason they will even exert a positive influence on reality. These are the gods. ”

"But we still have to be prepared." Qin Mo said.

The emperor nodded naturally, but he felt very relaxed at this time.

It had been some time since the Imperial Council had given seats to the Astartes and the Primarchs had returned to the Great Crusade.

The most powerful opponent they encountered was the Randan Empire, and this empire was easily "drowned" by the Custodes, Thunder Warriors, Astartes, and a large number of mortal armies and navies, and even that alliance The reason for fighting was not to eliminate Ran Dan.

Instead, Taranis and Horus discussed it, and they decided to open a new front. They discovered and eliminated Randan while all parties sent their men to open a new front.

That was why the Emperor felt relaxed at this moment.

"I heard that a green spore animal was discovered on the front line. I know them." The emperor thought of the latest battle report. "Then the two of us can go and kill their boss together."

"Our current world has been fully tapped into its potential, with a huge amount of troops, warships, resources, equipment..." Qin Mo walked to the railing and looked at the prosperous Terra and shook his head, "We don't have to go to the front line in person."

Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows and said in a relaxed tone: "I also want to see with my own eyes the scene of people fighting and contributing their efforts for the same goal. After all, the words on the battle report are more exciting than seeing them with my own eyes."

"Even I feel high."

The Emperor turned back and stared at the prosperity under the navigation tower.

“Everything is thriving, people are united, fighting and sacrificing for the same goal.”

“The ignorance, mutual hatred, and internal strife that arose during the trough of development were all wiped away by this centripetal force.”

Listening to what the emperor said, Qin Mo looked down at the bottom of the navigation tower and said in a deep voice: "But everything always has a cycle, prosperity, decay, rebirth, prosperity... This cycle is endless and never-ending."

"Entropy increases." The emperor nodded, "Indeed, even abstract non-material existences will increase entropy, but no matter what, the changes will always exist, even if the empire decays after tens of thousands of years. , will still prevent the human race from encountering the usual fatal trough, and then someone will step forward, and he will bring about a prosperous situation, just like now. "

Qin Mo was thoughtful, silent for a few seconds and suddenly asked: "Are those leaders who brought people out of the trough in the history of the human race at the level of thinking, or did they also have extraordinary powers? I am particularly interested. Do you know this? For example, some leaders in history were psychic or had other superpowers.”

"Of course not." The emperor shook his head, "They have not encountered a situation that requires extraordinary strength to deal with."

"They are not alone."

"It is people who long for the return of reason and order, so many people will stand up. Even if their leaders do not have extraordinary power, they can change everything by gathering together. They are unstoppable and invincible."

"If most people are willing to degenerate, or even miss their depravity, and are not worth saving at all, then even if it were you, I would be helpless and helpless."

Qin Mo thought about it and found it hard not to agree.

Both were silent for a while.

The only sound was the popping of the bubbles in the drink as I leaned against the railing and looked out over Terra.

Until the Emperor suddenly asked: "What do you want to do if the human race no longer needs us?"

"I will solve other troubles of the human race." Qin Mo replied without hesitation, "No matter when, there are always troubles that need to be solved, such as the gods and so on."

"Then I, I will hide in the crowd."

said the Emperor.

"I am simply the most powerful psyker of the human race, perhaps the most powerful psyker of any race that the galaxy has ever known or ever has known."

"I am not a powerful subspace entity, I am just the most powerful in the real universe."

"But if the human race can be like me, we no longer need to fear the threats of the gods."

"I will do this after the human race moves towards the light, no matter how long it takes, no matter what the cost."

Qin Mo suddenly looked at the Emperor.

He remembered the Emperor's Ascension Plan.

This plan is just to create a new folder on the data board, which seems almost impossible.

"Then it's settled." Qin Mo looked up at the sky, "When the human race no longer needs us, I will go to the subspace to fight the gods, and you will study in reality to make humans ascend. Then you can take the ascended humans to the subspace to help me."

"If you ask me, you might as well stay in reality." The Emperor smiled and shook his head, "When humans ascend, we will go to the subspace to fight together."

"If humans no longer need us, we can do whatever we want." Qin Mo nodded.

The Emperor also nodded.

A few seconds later, the Emperor's face suddenly became serious, and his eyes became extremely deep.

"Humanity will no longer need us."

"Humanity will also forget us in the course of time."

"That would be really..."

"It's as beautiful as a dream."
