Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

"Dante...you are still too young..."

"There are things you don't know about ten thousand years ago. If I didn't face a bunch of things that need to be dealt with every time I wake up, I would talk to you about things ten thousand years ago."

Sanguinius spoke.

Dante nodded.

When he wanted to ask the father of genes what he thought was the purpose of the sudden appearance of the aliens, he suddenly became acutely aware of the changes around him.

Everyone coming and going on the command deck suddenly stopped moving, as if time had stood still.

It was like the entire command deck had been stripped out of time.

Then the porthole in front of the command deck began to shatter, but it was obviously not really shattered because there was no strong vacuum environment to replace it.

Apparently some kind of strange, incomprehensible space technology has enveloped this place.

After the porthole shattered, a road slowly emerged, and a grander scene also emerged.

Tall undead warriors armed with shields and spears lined up on both sides of the road.

At the end of the road was the top of the pyramid of the extremely huge half-moon-shaped ship. A throne and more undead stood there, looking very solemn and majestic.

Then, an alien that looked familiar to Dante slowly walked along the road.

Dante quickly recognized it as the Grand Justiciar he had seen before.

"Please." The chief justice made a gesture of invitation.

In an environment created by incomprehensible space technology, all Sanguinius and Dante could do was follow, but they both knew that the alien leader on the throne would do nothing to them, so they did not fight to find a way. Come.

Sanguinius and Dante set out on the road, heading towards the throne.

A blackstone device that amplified the influence of the Warp and weakened the C'tan's power emerged along the path, ensuring that Sanguinius would not be expelled from his living metal body.

Finally, the father and son came to the throne and looked up at the king sitting on it.

They had to look up, because the throne was set on a high step.

Sitting on the throne is a dead spirit sitting upright with many decorations on his body.

"You have earned the honor." The Grand Justice held his skull high, "The honor of saluting the greatest and last noble Lord of Silence, Szarak!"

Szarak sat on the throne looking down at Sanguinius and Dante, saying nothing, and there could be no expression on its face.

It doesn't look threatening, if you don't look at the guards around it who are taller than Perturabo... but it just exudes a majestic but plain contradictory aura.

However, despite its majesty, both Sanguinius and Dante knew very well that this was actually a copy.

Just like Trazin who always uses the clone body to smooth things.

A fleet and force of this size are not worthy of Szarak's true body.

"Exercise your honor," the Grand Inquisitor ordered Sanguinius and Dante in a cold, flat electronic voice.

Szarak doesn't speak, and there's a reason why he's called the Silent King.

Dante didn't salute last time. What he was thinking about now was whether this guy, as Szalac's mouth substitute, was connected to Szalac or something...

"Dante of the Blood Angels, and the genetic ancestor of the Blood Angels." The Grand Justice stressed for the third time, "You..."

The words were interrupted.

Szarak, who was sitting on the throne, just waved his hands twice, and the high justice ended his broadcast.

Then the great justice no longer asked the two to salute, but just ordered the warrior next to him to shape chairs for the two of them out of thin air.

Like the creation magic of the Tyrones, the two chairs were crafted to fit the bodies of Dante and Sanguinius perfectly, making them extremely comfortable.

"The greatest and last noble Lord of Silence," said the Grand Inquisitor, "I ask you, where is your main fleet?"

"The main fleet is still on its way," Sanguinius replied.

"The greatest and last most noble King of Silence." The Grand Justice said, "Ask you, that guy who doesn't know whether he is a human or a star god, is he still in your main fleet?"

Sanguinius hesitated.

"The greatest and last most noble Lord of Silence," said the Grand Inquisitor, "you must answer the question of the greatest and last most noble Lord of Silence. It is your privilege and its favor, It’s your honor even more.”

Dante immediately said: "I know it is great, and I also know that it is the last and most noble King of Silence. Do you want to show that you are working hard by talking so much nonsense?"

"Barbarians." The Grand Inquisitor scorned Dante. "You have no manners whatsoever."

"Of course we have etiquette." Dante stood up and looked at Szarak, "But your greatest, last and most noble king is not our king."

The Grand Justice's eyes directly passed Dante and looked at Sanguinius: "The King of Silence feels that you are still the most suitable person to be the leader of the human species, whether compared with your father who plays witchcraft or Compared with that guy who doesn't know whether he is a human or a star god, you are more suitable."

Sanguinius smiled as friendly as possible and shook his head.

"The Silent King wants to remind you." The Grand Justice said again, "You must be careful about that guy who doesn't know whether he is a human or a god, because the Star God once used a sweet lie to destroy the Necrontyr race. I hope you realize that you The sweetness you enjoy now may be the beginning of the greatest suffering later.”

Sanguinius looked at Szarak.

He spoke after a moment.

"I respect your king, and I have done so from 10,000 years ago to now, but I cannot agree with this point."

"I know your past, and I sympathize with you. I once warned my brother in private not to get too close to a star god."

"But he is indeed making everything better. On Baal, which I cannot change, he established another human force's medical aid team to solve the mutation problem of the Baal people. They used it on the noblest group of my descendants. To lend a helping hand.”

When Sanguinius said this, Szarak adjusted his sitting posture slightly, and then leaned on the armrest of the throne.

The Grand Justice said: "Just as the Silent King meant, it was just the sweetness before suffering. The Star Gods once defeated despairingly powerful enemies for the Necrontyr. In the end, they didn't drink our sweet souls. Turn us into a group of beings as you see them?”

"So what have you decided to do?" Sanguinius asked, "Let me and Dante be the guides to take you to the main fleet to destroy your old enemy? If so, you don't need to tell me this, you can use your The magic-like technology goes back to before your fleet appears, just withdraw your help!”
