Chapter 318 307. Obtaining the Sword

The emperor saw clearly. When he stood there, patiently waiting for Cyrene's prayer, Hades poked his head out of the building curiously, and showed an obvious expression of disgust after a moment.

Although the expression lasted for a very short time, this expression did appear on Hades's face.

The emperor had no expression on his face. He stood calmly in the night streets, listening to the cries and prayers of hundreds of millions of people in the Perfect City, and the voice of enlightenment in Cyrene. Then he raised his hand——

A hazy golden light lit up, and the next moment, Cyrene, who was sobbing softly, lowered his head. A forbidden soldier walked out from behind the emperor and took the unconscious lady away.

The Emperor raised his eyes lightly, the look of disgust on Hades's face now more obvious and undisguised, but he retracted it when he noticed the Emperor looking at him.

The emperor spoke with a calm voice,

"What did you find, Hades?"

"A suspicious middle-aged man standing in an alley, and a young woman kneeling at his feet crying."

The Emperor looked at Hades, who looked back at him, and there was a gust of wind in the alley at night.

The emperor spoke,

"I already know that you discovered the Blade of the Old Enemy, which is why I stand here."

Hades sighed loudly, but after the Emperor walked to Hades, he helped the Emperor open the door to the hall.

They walked past the nine-eyed Buddha statue, the eight-sword stand, the seven-handful of wheat seedlings, and the six-corner incense tent.

Every time you walk past an exhibit, a golden flame ignites, illuminating the dark wasteland and making a crackling sound.

Hades frowned and turned back, looking at the burning exhibits. This was unnecessary...his black domain was already...

But this was the Emperor, and of course the Emperor could do what he wanted, Hades was only responsible for bringing him to the broken statue.

The old enemy sword was still there, and Hades did not dare to touch it. Even though the black realm had suppressed it and swallowed up the spiritual light, the pus was still gushing out, the kind of gushing that conformed to the laws of physics.

Just as Hades had done, the Emperor circled the broken sword embedded in the stone.

Hades stood aside, patiently waiting for the Emperor.

Finally, the Emperor returned to his original position, staring at the sword expressionlessly,

"Do you know what's going on, Neos?"

The Emperor paused for a moment, then silently and slowly shook his head.

Hades raised his eyebrows, the Emperor didn't know? This is not good...

"You don't know either? Or do you know the origin of this sword and its use?"

The emperor's dark brown eyes looked at Hades calmly,

"I am not a god, I am not omnipotent, and I am not omniscient. You may know better than me about the fate entangled with this sword, Hades."

Hades took a deep breath, scratched his head,

"Okay, I thought you knew something - I didn't expect that a simple inspection could really catch big guys. I thought they were just cultists, or some small toys or something."

Hades silently took a few steps forward. He stared at the sword, md. The obsidian pattern on it looked like a variant of the Barbarian language - or was the Barbarian language itself evolved from it? ?

The Sword of the Old Enemy, in the original timeline, came from a civilization that negotiated cooperation with Moon Wolf - Intress. Intress was a highly developed human civilization with a brilliant culture, and most importantly - —The humans of this civilization know Chaos and have always fought against it.

But just when Moon Wolf was about to reach cooperation with this civilization, Erebus stole the sword of this civilization's old enemy and caused a series of chaos, which eventually led to the collapse of the negotiations between Moon Wolf and Entres, and the Empire had to destroy this civilization. civilization.

Through the operation of the Four Gods and Erebus, this sword came into the hands of Governor Devon. The Governor, who had already been blessed by Nurgle, took this sword and personally betrayed and stabbed Horus. The powerful Corruption Lord The power left Horus dying, and he was finally sent to the corrupted temple of the Four Gods by the overwhelmed Moon Wolves in a coma.

It can be said that in the story line of Horus, this sword represents the beginning of corruption.

Although Horus gradually became irritable and suspicious after becoming Warmaster, he was at least... loyal.

So what's going on? The sword of the old enemy is now in the hands of the empire. What are the four gods thinking? Or did Hades really make a mistake and successfully intercept the beard?

Hades stared at the sword, and he spoke slowly,

"I have two guesses... The first is that we really caught a big fish this time."

"And the second kind..."

Hades raised his eyes and looked back at the Emperor, whose eyes were burning with calm golden anger.

"They are challenging us, and in response to our changing plans they are taunting us - and they are receiving our resistance."

The emperor shook his head gently,

"Hades, you are still unfamiliar with these scum."

"Don't be frightened by these unnecessary tricks. They have enough time and energy to choose and deploy. They have enough chess pieces - now it is just one they throw out casually."

"It is, it's not, it's intentional, it's not...none of that matters."

"The only thing that matters is that I will burn the Perfect City, I will declare myself a god, I will build the Webway - paying attention to the other side's tricks will only lead you into the swamp of their schemes, which they are so good at and so passionate about."

Hades hissed, could he say that this was why the original Emperor failed? The Emperor has an excessive... lack of attention to detail.

But on the other hand, what the emperor said seems to be right. If the four gods keep throwing out the chess codes in Hades's memory to distract him...then they might really be able to trap Hades.

Hades sighed, it seemed that he would need to be more adaptable in the future.

"Okay, I understand, Neos."

Hades waved his hand,

"So what do we do with the sword? You burn it?"

The emperor shook his head,

"I can't burn it. There's no psychic echo left in it."

Hades blinked,

"Then you let the Imperial Guard take it away?"

"I reject."

The emperor replied decisively,

"Then...then we can't let this broken sword stay where it is?! We have to find a way to take it away and destroy it, right?"

The emperor looked at Hades silently, and he spoke slowly,

"Lord of the Order of Silence, I think you can take it."

Hades looked at the Emperor in despair and disbelief, as if he had been betrayed.

"What do I need this for?"

"As the Lord of the Silent Order, you have the responsibility to recycle and keep these items, Hades. Now this sword will not cause damage to you."

Obviously, Hades couldn't let his men pull out the sword. He didn't feel comfortable doing so, and he didn't have the courage to do so.

In the end, Hades walked to the broken sword as if he were dead. There were fragments of the God-Emperor sculpture scattered around. It was now so dark that almost no light could penetrate.

Hades calmed down his mood.

He stretched out his hand, grasped the hilt of the broken sword tightly, and pulled it out——

The sound of chains rattled, and as the sword rose, the stone base completely cracked and disintegrated, and pus overflowed.

Hades turned around with the sword in hand, his face calmly looking like he was about to die.

"So you're just here to say a few words to me, Neos?"

The Emperor calmly took a few steps back, raised his hand, and the golden flame instantly burned away the pus.

"I also enlighten my followers - this is necessary."

"What about the ordained lady? Do you plan to directly make her a bishop or something?"

"She will wake up in her own home and think it was all a dream."

I broke my promise, for the last time.

I will never update next time I ask for leave.
