Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

"Wake up."

"Wake up, Guilliman."

Guilliman heard a call in a trance. He slowly opened his eyes, and everything in front of him changed from blurry to clear.

The Primarch saw first a white room, then an Eldar woman dressed in doctor's garb.

No, to be precise, it’s the goddess Elsa.

Then there was Qin Mo sitting a little further away.

Vanessa, whose pupils were golden, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Guilliman lovingly.

In the eyes of the original body, all this is too peaceful and peaceful, which seems a bit unreal, but at the same time, it can be perceived that everything is completely real.

Qin Mo stepped forward and helped Guilliman up from lying down to a sitting position.

Then he told Guilliman what happened before he fell into coma.

Brand Nurgle and depart from the Warp.

Guilliman fell unconscious from the Emperor's possession.

"The three of us were killing each other in the warp."

"It is my duty to brand Nurgle."

"The Emperor is responsible for burning the Gardens of Nurgle."

"You're responsible for the coma."

When Qin Mo said this, Vanessa put a bowl of water in Guilliman's hand and said, "If Guilliman is not unconscious, who am I possessing? You?"

"You can only possess Vanessa." Qin Mo glanced at Vanessa, "If the human part of you possessed the original body, things might not go so smoothly."

Upon hearing this, Vanessa was silent for two seconds, and then whispered: "This is so hurtful."

"But Father, your human side is a treasure more precious than any power," Guilliman said.

Qin Mo also nodded in approval.

The emperor who possessed Vanessa turned from sadness to joy.

"Thank you. Guilliman."

Qin Mo suddenly changed from joking to serious, stretched out his hand to Guilliman, and then said: "If you hadn't entered the subspace, I would definitely not have been able to find Nurgle so easily and put a brand on it."

"You're welcome, as long as you don't tell my heirs that their genetic father is responsible for the coma in subspace." Guilliman smiled and held Qin Mo's hand, dragging him up from the bed.

At this time, when he walked to the window and took a look, Guilliman realized that he was in the webway.

This network tunnel is closed and has no connections to other network routes, so it cannot become an interstellar highway.

Looking at the translucent golden curtain, Guilliman was filled with emotions.

This is exactly what the father cannot ask for.

web channel.

Ephrene said the Old Ones built it.

Absolutely safe super-light speed method.

The Webway Project and Imperial Truth all serve the Emperor's ultimate purpose. What he wants is to reintegrate humanity in the shortest possible time and then become a powerful force that cannot be ignored in the galaxy.

However, the Webway became a gap for demons to invade Terra, and became one of the reasons why the Emperor had to sit on the Golden Throne.

"The Webway." Guilliman raised his hand and placed it on the glass, as if stroking the Webway outside. "The thing that my father couldn't get is that a Star God who likes to set fire can come and go at will."

Ephrene once told of the Webway.

It has also been said that the Burner is good at rubbing the webway, just because it wants its fire to burn not only the galaxy, but also the webway.

"This is just the time advantage of the Burners. There were ancient saints during the War in Heaven, but the emperor ten thousand years ago couldn't find an ancient saint to teach him a move or two." Qin Mo said helplessly.

After studying the Webway with Burner, Qin Mo felt that the Emperor was quite whimsical.

The Emperor's plan was not just to use the webway between the warp of Terra and the real universe, but to build his own and connect it to the Old Ones' webway.

The Eldar, the sons of the Old Ones, didn't know how to create a webway, but the Emperor just built one, and the result...

Regarding the legacy left by ancient galactic civilizations, it is easier for people to gain more as they get older.

The Emperor is the most powerful of the Eternals, but he is not the eldest of the Eternals. Orpeson is older than him.

But the problem is that no matter how old the immortals are, they are only tens of thousands of years old. They are not close to the time of the War in Heaven, and they have no chance to collect the relics and information of the ancient civilizations millions of years ago.

Guilliman first lamented the webway, and then began to ponder.

When he found himself in the webway, Guilliman "squandered" the right to think. He knew that his father would not know what he was thinking here, let alone be spied on by subspace creatures.

The Primarch thought of his experience in Nurgle's Garden, and how he was possessed by his father as a vessel and burned Nurgle's Garden.

He also thought of the girl who was burned to death because she was possessed by her father before the war with Mortarion.

This same suffering of possession, but a completely different ending, made Guilliman think about the existence of the original body.

Finally, Guilliman suddenly spoke to Qin Mo: "Do you think it is really necessary for my father to create me and my brothers? This approach seems wrong now. Those traitors ruined everything and are still tormenting them to this day."

Qin Mo did not immediately say whether it was right or wrong, but told Guilliman something he didn't know.

"The Eldar probably didn't tell you that there is a veil between the real universe and the subspace. Their theory of the Sea of ​​Souls probably doesn't include this."

"No matter how powerful the four so-called gods in the subspace are, whether they destroy thousands of real universes in an instant, or wipe out tens of billions of stars with a snap of their fingers, no matter how strong they are, they cannot pass through the veil."

"Those big demons are extremely powerful in the subspace, but after entering the real universe, they are weakened enough to be exiled by the Gray Knights. Whether they can even come in depends on the chance. If the reality membrane is not weakened, they will squeeze through their heads. can not come."

"So the Four Gods need a chess piece that can freely cross the veil and possess the characteristics of both real-world creatures and sub-space creatures. They can use this to exert their power to interfere more in the real universe."

At this point, Guilliman already understood what Qin Mo wanted to say.

Qin Mo did not shy away from saying that the emperor was the one who provided the four gods with the chess pieces they needed.

Whether the Emperor likes it or not, this is the case.

Horus, Magnus, Perturabo, Mortarion, Angron, Fulgrim... these are all traitors among the original bodies, and Horus was powerful enough to fight against the Emperor ten thousand years ago. The emperor's wrestling also proved that he had indeed become a pawn of the Four Gods, a pawn used to interfere with the real universe.

The Emperor and the Four Gods are like two computer players, and the original body is the game character in the computer. The player cannot enter the computer and can only control the game character to do things.

"So my father created us...it was wrong..." Guilliman's voice trembled.

Qin Mo shook his head: "That's not the case. After all, there are traitors among the original body, and there are also loyal people like you. Without you, who can deal with the current mess of the empire?"

Seeing Guilliman falling into self-doubt, Qin Mo added: "Some things cannot be stopped just because they will bring terrible consequences. Just like the Great Crusade integrated mankind, it itself also provided a steady stream of resources for the four gods. A large amount of negative emotional nourishment, the empire established by the Emperor has decayed to this point, and it is also providing the four gods with negative emotions for ten thousand years."

"But if we don't carry out the Great Expedition and don't build an empire, we're just sitting back and waiting to die."
