Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

"What do you see me doing?"

"The Magnus you control is also squinting, it's time Perturabo noticed it!"

Qin Mo patted the emperor's shoulder and reminded him of what he needed to pay attention to.

The Emperor quickly dispelled the psychic energy, and then sat back in the chair with a confused look on his face, staring straight ahead at nothing in a daze.

The control over Magnus, the projected psychic image, all dissipated.

"Awesome." Qin Mo gave the emperor a thumbs up, admiration welling up in his heart.

What the Emperor just said to the Pertura Bo clone was all directed by Qin Mo himself, but even so, Qin Mo only said what the Emperor wanted to say on his behalf and asked the Emperor to speak directly to Pertura. Turabo speaks out.

Although there was a slight glitch, and although the Emperor's final sideways look at him probably made Perturabo feel strange, he still said it after all.

If the emperor was extremely resistant and refused to speak, as a person without psychic powers, Qin Mo had nothing to do with the emperor.

Qin Mo admired the emperor for showing such courage, sincerely.

"..." The emperor had no reaction to the praise. He sat on the chair with his head buzzing and took a moment to relax.

Then he looked at Qin Mo and asked with a look of disbelief: "I have always been puzzled, how can you say some disgusting words without changing your expression? For example, you just taught me to say to Perturabo Those words?"

"What's so disgusting about that? Isn't this a very common thing to say when being honest?" Qin Mo asked back.

The emperor opened his mouth to argue, but was blocked by Qin Mo's next words.

"Who read Perturabo's thoughts through Magnus just now, and who was anxious when he found out that Perturabo was about to misunderstand and asked me for a solution?" Qin Mo said, "Just tell me Does the sentence I taught you express your inner thoughts? Do you also want to say this to Perturabo, but you just don’t want to open your mouth yourself?"

The emperor was silent for a few seconds and wanted to argue again, but he swallowed it back as soon as the first syllable was uttered, and his expression became serious: "I think the test is almost over, I will open a psychic channel for them right now." Bring them back."

"Don't change the subject. Just tell me whether the few sentences I summarized for you are what you want to say. Don't avoid it. Answer me whether it is." Qin Mo pressed forward step by step.

Seeing that he could not get away with it, the Emperor took a deep breath and nodded.

Qin Mo was just satisfied and nodded with a smile.

"Well, if I had known this, I should have made the personalities of all the original bodies more transparent, at least not so twisted." The emperor sighed helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do. I'm just following my roots. Isn't that right?" Qin Mo spread his hands.

"What are you rooting for? How can I have such a strange character as Perturabo?" The emperor defended himself eagerly, "If Perturabo's character came from me, would we still be friends? I would put my Showing you the least serious and emotionally weak side? I will hold on, and you will still feel that my humanity is no different from the complete Emperor ten thousand years ago."

Hearing the emperor mention that if he had the same personality as Perturabo, he would definitely "hold it", Qin Mo couldn't help but recall the way other emperors behaved when they possessed Vanessa's will a while ago.

Cold as a warp creature, not a "human" as the Emperor insisted.

This makes the emperor's humanity in front of him even more valuable.

Putting the heavy things behind him, Qin Mo sat on the chair and leaned back, assuming a leisurely and contented posture, and said with a smile: "It's useless to hold it, I will be keenly aware of your human will." How about that, and then I will torture you continuously until you can't hold it any longer."

"Oh, staying with someone like you, not to mention my human nature, even if I were intact ten thousand years ago, it would be difficult for me to hold back." The emperor sighed again.

Qin Mo smiled.

A complicated expression appeared on the emperor's face.

They all fell silent in unison.

Until Qin Mo mentioned another thing: "Let the death of a war blacksmith be the ending of this wonderful journey of cloning the original body."

"Forget it, I'm afraid that Perturabo will think that I still doubt his loyalty even after being honest, so they don't need to continue their journey for the time being." The Emperor rubbed his chin and thought, "But to be honest, I didn’t deliberately arrange such a journey for them just to test Perturabo, in the final analysis, it was just a way of doing it.”

"What's the matter?" Qin Mo asked.

"For some reason, the clone primarchs must stay in the iron ring and wait. They need to wait there even after the war begins." The Emperor said.

Qin Mo asked: "For what reason."

"Because there are things they must accomplish, and there are real tests they must accept." The emperor looked unfathomable, his eyes were bright, and his tone was much heavier.

Qin Mo rolled his eyes: "Are you going to be the Riddler again?"

"It's not that I don't want to explain it clearly, but I just have a hunch that I don't have the ability to interpret the future... I promised you to help the fleet and army teleport directly to the iron ring, but I can't do it myself, so I need to Let’s get someone who can do it.”

When the emperor said that it would be better to find someone who could do it, Qin Mo thought of the other emperor's will that had possessed Vanessa's body before.

He is indeed powerful.

However, Qin Mo is also worried that the power of that powerful will will be too much for Vanessa to bear, so that the human emperor will not be able to indirectly walk in the real universe.

Since the last time Vanessa accommodated multiple wills in her body, the Emperor's humanity has occasionally experienced abnormalities.

Qin Mo even had a speculation in his mind that made him feel terrible, that is, there seemed to be another will trying to replace the human will and occupy Vanessa's body.

"I have to remind you to act within your ability. If the cost of doing something is the death of you or Vanessa, forget it." Qin Mo reminded seriously, "I would rather go into battle in person, which conventional combat units cannot do. I do the things I do, and I do the things that are difficult to do without powerful psychic powers myself using physical means.”

The emperor stared at Qin Mo silently, his eyes very complicated.

After seeming to hesitate for a while, the Emperor exhaled softly, smiled and shook his head: "We are all making sacrifices, big or small. Just like many years ago, you chose to work with me in order to have the power to counter psionic energy. Developing a psionic matrix to create warp entities... there is no cost or sacrifice that I cannot accept."

Qin Mo, who had always been eloquent, was speechless at this time.

"The most violent civil war in the history of the Dark Gods has reduced their interference in the real universe. This expedition is an opportunity that the human species must seize."

The Emperor continued.

"Ten thousand years ago, I was willing to sit on the Golden Throne to ensure that the human race could continue to exist, even if it was just to survive... Now that we have a chance to fight back, I am willing to give everything."

"But no matter what, I will make sure Vanessa lives. She is a poor girl, and I can't bear to let her end up with a bad end."

After saying what he was thinking, the emperor looked at Qin Mo.

Qin Mo also looked at the emperor.

After the two looked at each other in silence for a few seconds, the Emperor slowly spoke, using Vanessa's vocal organ to say, "For humanity."

"For humanity." Qin Mo nodded, "For humanity."
