Warhammer Inquisitor

"What?"

Vito asked bluntly, trying to hide his bewilderment and bewilderment, but he failed. His expression vividly reflected the passive reaction of an illiterate who suddenly disappeared into a high-level academic conference.

But Yi Yangna behind him is obviously more knowledgeable. As a prophet of the Eldar, she has read more books and knows more knowledge than Vito, why? Do you think Vito has lived for 40,000 to 50,000 years, which means that he must have read a lot of books and learned a lot of knowledge? What do you think of him? A dead house called the Emperor?

Iyana walked up from the dazed Vito, and she came to Helen's side, and the two knowledgeable women started discussing in front of their "wise" man.

"You said man-made universe? What do you mean?" "Literally, man-made." "I know! This place was created by the ancient sages, so it is called man-made universe!"

While the two smart women were discussing, the illiterate guy beside them raised his arms proudly with an arrogant expression that looked more like an illiterate, showing his stupidity and boasting vividly and exquisitely. .

The two glanced at him coldly, then turned their eyes back. Helen shrugged and turned her head to look outside at the endless mountains, rivers and grasslands, and at those strange structures suspended in the air, which were constantly changing. , like a hive of self-awareness.

"This is not our original universe, but another world, an independent universe separated from the physical universe and subspace. In short, I am on another planet, another universe."

"An artificial universe? I...I've never seen one on this scale." "Created an entire universe? Yes, so now you know why I'm so surprised?"

As Helen spoke, she slid her finger in front of her face, and a long thin line was stretched from between her fingers, quickly transforming into a holographic image in front of her, but Vito couldn't understand anything on it, even Unable to read a line of letters, he stood aside thoughtfully and cleared his throat.

"Ahem, Xiaona, do you understand?" He pretended to be calm and said, although his acting skills were poor, his expression had already betrayed him.

But Yiyangna didn't pay attention to Vito, but continued to look at everything in front of her. She turned her head to look at Helen, "What does all this mean?"

"This means that everything we are now, everything under our feet and everything we can see is created out of thin air by the ancient sanctuary, even the air we breathe at this moment, every atomic structure here is Man-made, not naturally born."

Helen looked up at the scrolling screen in front of her and said, her eyes also flashed lines of parameters, as if she was interpreting these incomprehensible characters, "This world is in a man-made universe, and this universe is different from our original As big as it is, with no definite boundaries, no definite structure, like this planet, everything is still in its infancy."

"But it's not accurate to say that. This universe has been born for a long, long time. According to the system log, it was born after the Battle of Heaven, and it has existed for 80 million years. Although the scale of the universe is It’s not that big, but it’s been a long time for life.”

"Is there life here? I can't feel the existence of any spiritual energy. If there is life here, any life, even a tiny one, will have a projection in the subspace, thereby emitting spiritual energy."

Yi Yangna lowered her head and asked loudly, she was very curious, the long-sleeping passion was awakened again, everything here made the young Phoenix Prophet quite excited and amazed, a man-made universe, this level of powerful technology , Just thinking about it made her excited.

Well, I'm sure that if the Mechanics were here, they would also agree with Yi Yangna's words, and even be more excited, hoping that the gears of those oil guys won't burst out excitedly.

"This is the problem. There is no intelligent life in this entire universe. This is an empty universe. Except for microorganisms, mountains, rivers, and stars in the universe, there is nothing here."

"What?" Iyana asked in surprise, her face was confused, "But, why?"

"It's the same as his birth reason, man-made, according to the system, it was deliberately vacant by the Old Sage, to allow the old world, that is, the intelligent life in our universe to escape when the crisis comes, and pass through the north and south poles of this planet The huge star gate escaped here to avoid the destruction of the doomsday."

Helen explained, but it didn't make Iyana understand. Since she didn't understand, then the "big clever" she met couldn't understand. Vito could only nod repeatedly, saying um, ah, yes Yep.

Helen turned around, and she didn't look at the wise man, but directly looked at Yi Yangna, "This world is a sanctuary, a place of sanctuary that avoids the gaze of all enemies, shrouded in the sky above this universe. A layer of powerful spiritual energy shield separates everything here from the physical universe, which makes it impossible for the evil gods in the subspace to find this place."

Yi Yangna was shocked. She looked up at the sky above her head and looked up at the blue sky. Then her prophetic eyes saw the thin but extremely powerful spiritual energy barrier, "Who created it? Who can create it? Create such a powerful wall of spiritual energy?"

Covering a certain area so that it disappears from the perspective of chaos is not without such technology. All the arks of the Eldar have similar designs, but the ark is one thing, but the isolation shield covering the entire universe?

"Old Sage, according to the log, at the end of the Battle of Heaven, the most powerful individual among the Old Sages, "Father of the Old Sage", let's translate it this way for now, and I don't have more specific words to describe him."

"As the most powerful Old Sage, he foresaw the tragic battle of the Battle of Heaven and the irreversible impact on the sea of ​​souls. That sea area will eventually become a subspace. He foresaw the birth of the first demon among them, He also witnessed the rise of the four gods after tens of millions of years, and he knew very well that the ancient sages could not stop the rise of the destructive force, and it made no difference whether they won the battle of heaven or not."

"So they created this place after some discussion, the medieval world, the last Garden of Eden, the last surviving Old Sages voluntarily gave up the war with the dead and the star gods, and they came here as the creators and guardians of life , created this brand new world with the last of his soul, don't let the father sacrifice himself, set up this spiritual energy barrier to ensure that demons cannot find this place, and even block a joint attack of the four gods head-on, and the price Even the late father himself was completely destroyed because of this."

Helen looked up at the sky and said slowly, "But they did it. The medieval world has been completely hidden from everyone's sight since then. The four gods of chaos have never discovered it for tens of millions of years. Now our arrival, and our visit, has also been predicted by the Old Sage, and the time is exactly the same."

"Asuyan, this psychic prophecy is simply amazing." Iyana sighed, she was amazed at the powerful psychic power of the Old Sage, that power has far surpassed all future prophets, and even she felt that the Emperor could not Compared with the ancient father, he is undoubtedly the most powerful psychic that has existed since the birth of the entire universe.

"And not only that." Helen was silent for a moment, her eyes were shining brightly, as if she was reading some of the records, she slowly raised her head after a moment.

"They prophesied and followed a series of turbulent heroes, sir, they even prophesied and recorded the rise of mankind, the birth of the Emperor, and... your birth."

Helen said in a low voice, she looked in front of her eyes from the pretendingly calm playful smile to the expression that gradually froze until it completely froze into a surprised Vito, Helen nodded to him.

"They had a premonition of the catastrophe of the galaxy thousands of years later, the rebellion of Horus, the birth of Slaanesh and the Eye of Terror, the great fall of the Eldar and everything, the rise of the Emperor, and your entire experience, one word .It was not badly predicted, even including the emperor's final plan, they have long foreseen everything that will happen later, and this place is prepared for that moment, for you, sir."

Helen raised her head, exchanged glances with Iyana at the side, and then looked at Vito. She looked up at the face of the man in front of her, "The Old Sage left a sentence on the first procedure after the system recognition was activated, That's for you, sir."

"What?" Vito asked softly, and Helen said that sentence in a language that Iyana could not understand. That sentence sounded full of poetry, as long as the echo on the other side of the long river, Helen was silent for a long time, as if trying to translate the true feeling of that sentence, she finally spoke after a long time.

"Hello, my brother whom I have never met, I am "Father", I know we have never met, but I know clearly that you are our brother, I call you like this, not because of blood, even so, I still know that you are our brother."

"You have many names, whether it is Vasily Constantine or any other name, you have the same identity, the guardian of civilization and life, because of this, I know that you are my brother, I once I have witnessed your birth and growth through thousands of years, and I have witnessed the story of the future in the distant past, Constantine, my brother."

"Your destiny has thousands of paths, when they all converge, Vito Constantine, the last guardian of civilization, in the present years, my compatriots and I opened the starting point of civilization, and You are also destined to witness and guard its end, and to begin a new chapter in the story of civilization."

As Helen said this, her voice gradually changed into a thick tone, as if it came from the bottom of the long river of time, from the tide of the river bed.

"In the future, many people will call you the destroyer and conqueror, and the individual called the emperor will be called the guide of civilization, but this is not true. At the end of fate, your identities It will be reversed, and your fate has already been doomed."

"My brother, my future brother, when the emperor opens the end, you will prop up the star gate, so that civilization can continue in this new world, and because of this, I will put my last The power stays here, as the help I left, if one day you think the time is too high, then inherit my last gift."

"This is everything, I will leave, and you, will witness the end of everything and the beginning of everything, good luck to you, Guardian, Isluku, Wapiti."

Helen's words were over, and Yi Yangna stood aside and listened to all of this. Although she didn't know what the last sentence meant, she already understood from Helen's tone that it was a blessing, a blessing to future successors. bless.

The heir to the mantle chosen by the ancient sages stood aside. After a little silence, he raised his head and looked into the distance, as if saying goodbye to a friend he had never met.

Helen was silent for a moment, thinking about what to say, but finally said it, "Sir, my father left a method in the system to activate the last power of the Old Sages, and that power is called "spiritual veins" underground In the world blood of the "Giant Net", they are connected to each other by the pyramids suspended in the sky here, running through the earth, if you command, I can introduce its power into your body."

"If my calculations are correct, then you will be far superior to the Emperor. You can replace him and become the true chosen heir of the late father. Save everything according to your wishes, not the Emperor's wishes. That way, sir, you can."

"That's enough Helen, that's enough." Vito directly interrupted Helen's words, and the latter did stop. Vito looked up at the distant direction and remained silent for a while before speaking.

"Can you reopen the portal? Send us back?" "I can, sir." "Activate it and get us out of here."

Vito finished speaking and reached out to pick up the CD, but Helen raised her hand to signal him to stop, Helen shook her head slightly, "No, sir, it's you, I will stay here, research and eventually take over everything here , the system here is very complicated, and it may take me many years to finally master everything here, so let me stay."

"Helen." "Sir, we will face the doomsday together, won't we?" Helen raised her head and looked at Vito with a faint smile on her face, she nodded with a smile, "So, let me stay, When that moment comes, everything here will come in handy."

"Helen, you don't have to."

Vito knew what this meant. It meant that Helen had to face all of this in this loneliness, with no one to get along with her, no one to talk to her. In this cold new world, only she was left alone. It's just a human being, who is alone in the decades, even centuries, and millennia of controlling all complex systems.

Alone, with only this thing to keep her company, even for an artificial intelligence, this is almost a kind of torture, a feeling of being left at the end of the world will overwhelm everything.

"Sir, no, Vito, when that moment comes, someone has to be here to open the stargate and block the onslaught of chaos, and that means someone has to stay, and that can only be me."

Vito and Helen looked at each other, Iyana stood aside and did not speak, she silently looked at Helen and thought for a while, this is indeed the best choice, when the doomsday comes, it is necessary to open a path that is enough to allow all the holy spirits to lead to the new world. The star gate of the world, then you must master all the technologies here, and prepare for the final battle.

And now, the only person who can do all of this, the only person who can control and understand the complex technology of the ancient saints is Helen. Vito needs to return to the empire to support everything before the end comes, and Iyana also needs to return to Fang Zhou, return to the Eldar to assist Evelyn, complete their mission, she is right, only she can stay.

Vito and Helen looked at each other, the hand was still in the air, neither forward nor retracted, he knew that Helen was right, but...he didn't want to abandon her and leave her here alone.

They have walked together for nearly 10,000 years, experienced the Golden Age, the Dark Age, the Great Crusade, and everything after the Horus Heresy, but now, are they going to separate?

Helen looked at Vito's face, she smiled softly, waved her finger aside, and the key flew up, and with a slight push of Helen's finger, the key flew into Vito's palm.

She pointed to the key, "This is not a farewell. If you miss me, you can use that key to open the portal and come back, for example, once a week?"

"I'd rather be every day." Vito smiled and held the key in his hand, while Helen shrugged with a smile, "That will affect my work, and yours, you are about to lead an expedition Isn't it? So, try to get used to the life without my help, although I know, it will be very sad, after all, with your brain."

"Okay, shut up." Vito laughed as well, and they all laughed. After a while, Helen smiled and looked at the key.

"Keep it away, don't lose it, it's not just the key you came to find me, you also need that key to start the system here, so, try to keep it as safe as possible before the doomsday comes, okay?"

"Ha, I will do my best to meet the beautiful girl." Vito said provocatively and blinked his eyes, as if all the depression and haze just now had disappeared. They looked at and smiled, and Helen gently put her hand on the While waving it, a portal appeared there immediately.

Vito glanced at the portal, put the key in his pocket, and walked up, but stopped when he reached the door. He turned his head and looked at Helen, who was also standing on the platform looking at him. .

He stared at her, and after the two of them looked at each other silently, Helen waved her hand at him, watching the movement, Vito smiled and turned and walked into the door.

Yiyangna immediately followed, but stopped at the door. She thought for a while and then turned to look at Helen, looking at the old sister Helen, "I will try my best to look after him, at least you When he's not around, he won't be missing an arm or a leg."

"I know. Goodbye, Iyana." Helen chuckled lightly and then raised her head and said with a smile. A smile suddenly appeared on her usual cold face, which made Iyana burst out laughing too. After waving her hand, she turned around and stepped into the light door, and the door closed immediately as she walked in.

In this empty universe, only Helen was left standing here. After she smiled softly, she turned around and looked at the vast world outside the window, her fingers stretched to the sky.
