Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

"Matthew has left Tyrone."

"If you decide to let him be the communication bridge between you and the state religion, then you will send someone to pick him up."

On Tyrone 1, Qin Mo and Guilliman were communicating across galaxies.

Standing in front of the regent at this time was not only Qin Mo, but also Vanessa, who carried the emperor's human will.

The Emperor then complained to the Primarch about Mathieu, telling him that he had argued with Mathieu himself.

After hearing the Emperor's words, Guilliman was stunned for a few seconds, and then burst into laughter.

"What's so funny about this?" The emperor spread his hands helplessly, "You think it's funny that I can't even prove to Mathieu that I'm not a god?"

Guilliman immediately held back, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Qin Mo: "You are very good at picking people out. The person you chose for me to be the liaison with the State Church is quite good. If it were replaced by another member of the State Church, I guess I have already considered burning my father and the woman who carried his will to ashes."

After speaking, Guilliman looked at the Emperor again: "Times have changed, Father. If you tell the Ecclesiarchy on Terra that you are not a god, and if you reveal your identity, you will also be burned at the stake. Fight because they won’t believe what you say.”

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "If they are brave enough, just give it a try."

Although what possessed Vanessa was only the human will that was weak enough for mortals to bear, he was the Emperor after all and still had the experience and talent to use psychic powers.

Let alone those from the Ecclesiarchy, even a Space Marine Chapter may not be able to capture the Emperor's human will.

"Whether you dare and whether you can do it are two different things, father." Guilliman patted his chest, "I know there are many people who want me to die, and there are also many people who doubt the identity of me and Ryan, and think that the original body The awakening is not entirely accidental, we are facing the same trouble."

"That's why I need Mathieu."

"I believe you are not a god, but I cannot let the national religion think that I am a super heretic. I must unite everyone in the empire who can unite."

Guilliman told the Emperor his thoughts in a roundabout way, hoping to dissuade the Emperor from thinking that his son had also been assimilated into the state religion.

There was no need to say anything, for the Emperor understood Guilliman's current situation.

"Be careful with the Imperial Guards. I think they are more suspicious of you than Ryan." All the Emperor can do now is give his son a reminder.

Guilliman nodded, knowing better.

While father and son were talking, Qin Mo was thinking about Guilliman and the state religion.

The Emperor of ten thousand years ago was not a god, but now he clearly is.

Guilliman was unwilling to admit this, not even to the point of deceiving himself.

But it is inappropriate to say that I am deceiving myself.

Because the reason why Guilliman cannot admit it is that he has struggled for many years for the Imperial truth of the Emperor. If he admits that the Emperor is a god, it means that everything he did ten thousand years ago is meaningless. Those who fought for the Imperial truth The people sacrificed by this lie have no meaning in their sacrifice.

"About the Star Gate..." Guilliman looked at Qin Mo, "The Star Gate has been built, but the Navigator Astropath family in the five hundred worlds and my Four Heroes, the nobles of all worlds, they surround the Star Gate. They are engaged in intrigues for control of the Star Gate, trying to gain control of the Star Gate.”

Qin Mo nodded.

Not surprisingly.

From now on, the Star Gate will be the main navigation method of the Five Hundred Worlds. Whoever controls the Star Gate is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the Five Hundred Worlds.

"I suggest you give control to your Four Heroes. They are participating in intrigues just to keep the Star Gate under the control of the Gene Father. They must not be doing it for their own interests." Qin Mo said.

"I understand." Guilliman nodded, "But the current situation in the Five Hundred Worlds is as complicated as the Empire. I have to balance it. I can't just hand over the Star Gate to the Four Heroes."

"So, what decision did you make?"

"I overturned the table at the meeting and yelled that this star gate does not belong to me, nor does it belong to a certain family, nor does it belong to a Space Marine. From now on, my attendants will manage the star gate."

"Your squire? A clone of Call?"

When Qin Mo wondered who the attendant Guilliman was talking about, Guilliman's answer surprised him.

"A little guy, fifteen years old."

"Are you joking?"

Guilliman then explained the reason why he gave control of the Star Gate to the young attendant.

Now Tai Lung is actually responsible for controlling the star gate, even though the star gate was established in the Five Hundred Worlds.

Before the Star Gate management team students sent by Five Hundred Worlds complete their training, the Star Gates will be fully controlled by the people from the Tyrone Star District.

Therefore, it is meaningless to hand over the Star Gate to anyone at this stage. What everyone is fighting for is for the students from the Five Hundred Worlds to return after their studies, and the control will be handed over to the Star Gate after the Five Hundred Worlds.

"The Stargate is very important. The person who should control it is not someone in the Five Hundred Worlds, but myself, so I decided to train a Stargate manager from scratch who will obey my words." Guilliman said.

Qin Mo nodded after hearing this, thinking that he was right.

To put it bluntly, what Guilliman needs is an easy-to-control puppet. This puppet will represent him to manage the Stargate Control Group that will be formed in the five hundred worlds in the future. This is called an arm and a finger.

Since Guilliman really couldn't let artificial intelligence appear in the Five Hundred Worlds, it was still necessary to train a manager from scratch.

"No matter what, your decision is too emotional." Qin Mo felt that Guilliman was still not too cautious.

"This is the best decision I can think of. But you are right, I am emotional, but the problem is that if you are a ruler who needs to balance the forces of all parties and has countless troubles waiting for you to solve, you At some point, I will be so angry that I get angry."

"One thing to say, one thing to say, indeed."

After a few words of conversation, Guilliman stopped talking about the Stargate, took a deep breath, and sat back at his desk.

Qin Mo saw that Guilliman's body in the holographic image was equipped with several exoskeleton-like appendages. These appendages, together with his hands, were processing more than a dozen documents at the same time.

Guilliman's white hair swayed as he wrote.

"I think……"

Qin Mo wanted to send an artificial intelligence or a stone man to Guilliman, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

After all, Guilliman is not just a leader of the sector. He has too many things to deal with and balance, and there are many people watching him. There are some things he just has to do personally.

"What?" Guilliman looked up at Qin Mo who was halfway speaking.

"It's nothing." Qin Mo shook his head, "It's time for me to deal with things. I wish you good luck."

"Is there anything that requires the Lord of Tyrone to personally come forward?" Guilliman asked.

"It's not a big deal. It's just that my people were developing a colony. They encountered a world full of beastmen. This world did not establish a colony, but had a scientific expedition team to conduct research. As a result, all the scientific expedition team were killed. This is not I should be left to deal with it, but I’m pissed off by them.”

Beastmen.

Guilliman suddenly felt that not only did he get along well with Qin Mo, but their experiences were similar.

He's also been having trouble with the beastmen recently.

There was a rebellion in a world of beastmen because the Inquisition had been sterilizing them. Guilliman believed that the Empire was at fault, so he sent an Inquisitor to talk about it. As a result, they killed the Inquisitor and became determined. To rebel.

"I have a hunch that something big is about to happen. The Empire has been in flames of war recently." Guilliman lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "The plague in the five hundred worlds has been effectively contained by the medicine you provided, but more Various types of plagues are emerging, and there are even reports of Death Guard attacks at the edges of the Five Hundred Worlds."

"Yes, Guilliman, the big one is coming, you should focus on dealing with the Death Guard immediately." Qin Mo nodded, and he was ready to have a good talk with Guilliman when he was free.

The Beastmen Rebellion wasn't a big deal at all.

Neither are the wars raging across the empire.

The coming plague war is.
