Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

"If this damn thing does something, is it my job to end it?"

"Of course, you are a soulless person. If you kill it, it will be completely gone."

"It's really unfulfilling to end a demon prince who is incapable of moving and is like a piece of rotten flesh."

Coming out of the black stone chamber, Qin Mo, separated from the two original bodies, walked in the corridor leading from the flagship to the lower structure.

Following Qin Mo were the Yaoen Imperial Guards who hurried from elsewhere and stayed on the battleship during the war to deal with many supernatural events within the fleet.

The black stone chest has been abandoned. Yaoen, a soulless man, can hold a demon prince without that kind of thing.

He is a soulless man, no matter how weak his soulless qualities may be, he is a soulless man.

"But since it is your order and my inherent mission and responsibility, I still feel honored."

Yaoen pulled out one of the eyeballs of the demon prince of Slaanesh who was thirsty for knowledge, and grabbed the nerve bundle connecting the eyeball and his body to pull the demon prince away.

When the crew members coming and going saw this scene, what surprised them more than Yao En's simple and crude lifting method was that this weird subspace thing actually had nerve bundles in its eyes.

It may hurt, it may not...

Qin Mo, who was walking in front, would occasionally look back and see the eyes of the demon prince staring at him and Yao En.

The aggressive eyes glanced back and forth between the two people from top to bottom. What was contained in those eyes was not hatred or evil, but curiosity and a hint of... joy.

When Qin Mo and Yaoen got on the elevator, a hand suddenly blocked the elevator door, and then a person squeezed in.

That person is Diana.

Logically speaking, Diana should be performing tasks without breaking the defense line at this moment.

"Have you completed your mission?" Qin Mo was a little surprised when he saw Diana. He glanced at the unbreakable defense line outside the porthole, "You just went to the iron ball."

"No... I spent at least seventy-two solar hours performing the mission." Diana shook her head.

"Okay." Qin Mo didn't think much about it. After all, it's not uncommon for time to get messed up.

Diana exchanged glances with her father, then pressed "Lead to the Bridge" on the button next to the elevator door. She stood next to Qin Mo again, raising her head to look at him from time to time.

After a moment, Diana suddenly remembered something and quickly tapped the button on her chest: "Sorry..."

It was the button for the psychic suppression device, which Diana had forgotten to turn off completely when she returned to the ship.

"It's okay, I don't feel anything." Qin Mo said expressionlessly, "But you really should close it, because not all soulless people are on the bridge."

Diana silently let out a silly laugh from the back of her head.

Qin Mo also smiled.

The elevator slowly moved toward the lowest level of the flagship. It did not descend, but jumped. It jumped between the layers of the flagship's huge hull at an extremely fast speed. There were just too many layers, and Qin Mo was too lazy to take a detour to get to the elevator. So still have to wait a while.

"By the way." Diana remembered something and told Qin Mo what she was going to report to the bridge first. "I discovered something on the iron ball of the Iron Warrior."

Qin Mo glanced at the demon prince behind him who was slipped into Yao Enti's hands.

The latter gave Qin Mo a confident glance.

Considering that this ghost probably knew everything, Qin Mo didn't remind Diana.

Diana, on the other hand, thought that the meat cube was an object and had been killed by her father, so she spoke frankly.

"Sir Donna and I found many obsidian crowns on the surface, many, many, the same round black stone structures I saw in the pre-war manual, which were corrupted by the power of Chaos."

"I've always been curious about why the fleet has arrived at the Iron Ring, and there are also black stone structures that were built in the last battle and recovered after the war."

"But the iron ring was not affected at all, as if the reality that should have spread there did not spread."

After hearing what Diana said, Qin Mo listened carefully and was also puzzled.

"Because there are so many Obsidian Crowns on the Unbreakable Line, they form a resonance."

"This resonance drives..."

Hearing this, Qin Mo retorted: "No, Diana, the resonance of the Obsidian Crown is not enough to resist the suppression released by the black stone structure in our hands. There must be some other reason."

"Yes, indeed." Diana said word by word, "Because the unbreakable defense line may be made of black stone, and the resonance formed by those obsidian crowns activates it, and it is fighting against the influence of the black stone structure in our hands. "

Qin Mo suddenly turned his head to look at Diana: "Are you sure?! Wait... is the iron ball that cannot break the defense line itself a black stone, or is part of it a black stone?"

"I'm not sure." Diana lowered her head, "I excavated many places and found that there is a layer of black stone under the rock layer, but this is not the case in some places, and in some places there is an ordinary rock layer under the black stone. There is still a layer of black stone underneath the local black stone.”

"You should go to the bridge to talk about this." Qin Mo was quite surprised, but there was not much emotion on the surface. After all, the information Diana detected was a bit vague.

Diana nodded: "I'm about to go to the bridge..."

Qin Mo fell silent, thinking about the Blackstone. He felt that Guilliman and Lion would definitely design a special military operation for this information, and he also believed that of course it should be the case.

But how to do it will be discussed after returning to the bridge.

"I heard that you and Sir Donna went back to her knight family territory during the last shift break? Judging from your current mental state, you had a good rest." Qin Mo talked about something more personal.

After all, he and Diana have a very good relationship, not only between superiors and subordinates, but also between elders and juniors.

During the Tailong Unification War, when Yaoen's wife collapsed due to long-term illness, Qin Mo also took care of Diana for a period of time.

"Yes." Diana recalled with a smile, "Hunting in the forest on Tyrone 2 and eating the livestock raised by their family."

"What's the difference in taste between those farmed livestock and the cloned meat produced in the agricultural world?" Qin Mo asked.

"It makes no difference, to be honest." Diana thought about it seriously.

"I have to eat cloned meat, they eat livestock." Qin Mo looked back at Yaoen, who had been silent, "From today on, the Tailong Knight No. 2 family is prohibited from breeding livestock."

Yaoen released the demon prince's nerve bundle, placed the disgusting thing on the ground, and then checked all the relevant information.

Finally, he responded: "The Knight family has certain rights of autonomy, and you need to change it... In fact, the cooks at the Tyrone Research Facility also use farmed livestock..."

Qin Mo raised his eyebrows helplessly and looked at Diana: "Your father has never had a sense of humor. His early life was too bitter."

"Yeah." Diana nodded, "Fortunately you didn't ask my father to accompany the somewhat humorous regent when he came to the sector, otherwise you would have received complaints from the imperial regent."

Yaoen helplessly canceled all the files that he had just extracted, and muttered in a low voice: "Since you all know..."

The elevator stops at this time.

"Warming up with you." Qin Mo clicked the door-close button for Diana and took Yao En out of the elevator. "Let's go, let's take the demon prince to see Her Majesty Vanessa."
