Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

In the residence of Lord Tyrone.

Guilliman's projection held two glasses of wine and handed one to Qin Mo.

The printing device in the room printed a glass of wine in Qin Mo's hand, but Qin Mo did not drink it.

Qin Mo sat on the chair in the room, putting the old woman's sword on his knees, admiring the old woman's sword, but his thoughts were not on this weapon.

"Uslan is dead."

When he heard the news from Qin Mo, Guilliman was a little surprised, but he was not very concerned about Uslan's life and death, but was thinking about the impact this matter would have on the alliance between humans and the Death Army.

Then he thought it had no impact, and then he started thinking about Uslan's death.

Ultimately, what the Imperial Regent Primarch wanted to say condensed into one question: "How would you rate Uthlan?"

Guilliman liked to listen to Qin Mo's evaluation of something or someone, because he would analyze the merits and demerits of a thing or a person from both subjective and objective aspects.

"First of all, he is definitely not a good person in the strict sense." Qin Mo said, "He ruined the family of a kind-hearted Ada. He also often steals and robs certain things. He is also a Riddler."

"But there is no doubt that he is a strong and big-picture person, a person who is always the riddler but doesn't let himself guess the riddles."

"I have mixed feelings, but I am grateful to him. At least from my perspective, he is an extremely important and very good like-minded person."

Speaking of this, Qin Mo stroked the blade of the old woman's sword, paused, and then continued.

"A real-life being with powerful psychic powers, but whose personality absolutely meets the standards of real-life beings."

Others would find this last sentence confusing and obscure, but Guilliman could easily understand it.

Qin Mo means that Uslan is very complicated. There are many contradictions in this person. As always, he cannot be evaluated as good or bad. However, this is the characteristic of a real living being and an intelligent life in the real universe.

Complex and contradictory.

"Indeed." Guilliman exhaled a long breath from his nose, nodded, and then talked about Uslan's death, "It was handled very wisely, my dear friend."

Guilliman took a sip of wine and continued: "I will tell Evrené that Uslan left nothing behind except the clothes on his body and himself. When his apprentice took his things back to the Death Army, I Phryne will check to see if this apprentice, who has no character in our eyes, is greedy for his master's things."

Qin Mo nodded, that's why he told the apprentice that he would tell Guilliman about it so that he could beat him.

The two were silent for a moment.

Qin Mo mentioned the old woman's sword: "This sword can resurrect the god of death...Have you tested Efreni? What did she say?"

"We used to be on guard against each other, but now after working together several times, she understands that we can trust each other." Guilliman said, "She told me bluntly that using the old woman's sword to resurrect Death was an attempt, not the truth. It can 100% resurrect Enad and kill Slaanesh. It is even unclear whether the Crone's Sword can resurrect Enad. Just like some people in the Inquisition think that killing my father will bring him back to life. "

Qin Mo nodded and suddenly put the old woman's sword into the scabbard: "This sword cannot be given to the spirit clan. If it is the extreme or worse situation before the golden expedition, resurrecting the god of death is a worthwhile attempt, but now it is not No need, the birth of an Eldar God will only make the real universe more deeply affected by the subspace, and the attitude of this Death God towards us is still unknown, and it may destroy the existing cooperative relationship. "

Guilliman thought so too.

This matter is said to be over.

Then Guilliman suddenly asked a question: "Have you ever thought about longer-term things, such as where people like us will go after everything is over?"

"I have two plans for the longer-term future." Qin Mo said, "Our universe is isolated from the threat of subspace, and then I enter the subspace and try my best to find a way to eliminate the four gods."

"I..." As soon as Guilliman said one word, he closed his mouth.

He wanted to say that he wanted to leave the Empire.

The Human Empire will not exist forever. It is just a tool used by the Emperor to advance his cause. All its designs are to better draw resources and coordinate efforts to invest in the war. Just like the wartime state will not last forever, this Empire will also It won't stay like this forever.

He would leave the Empire then, no matter what the other brothers thought.

Guilliman will want to go to an agricultural world and bring his descendants with him. If the descendants want to escape from the world rather than survive as the backbone of human society in the new future, then he will take Calgar and the others with him in a world without Where people find themselves, slash and burn, day after day, year after year.

Guilliman even thought about this in the long term: watching Calgar and others age and leave over thousands of years, taking care of them and burying them, and finally building their tombstones with a few stones. If any future generations would care about him like this The big guy is interested and comes up to chat. He will tell the stories of the heroes who have dedicated their lives in the great cause of every real universe and human species lying under those built-up stones.

But after all, this ideal sounded like the desolation of a hero in his twilight years, unlike Qin Mo's passion for continuing to fight against the four gods after the real universe was safe, so Guilliman swallowed his words.

"You are a born strong man." Guilliman suddenly said this.

Qin Mo looked at Guilliman with some confusion.

Guilliman had heard Qin Mo tell many past events. For example, Qin Mo's mother, who was like his own adoptive mother, Lady Euton, taught others that strength and gentleness could coexist at the same time.

For example, Qin Mo was once deceived by his superior and had no other choice. He chose to take revenge on the superior who had deceived him and his superior's superior. Without the force that could destroy the celestial body at his fingertips, he slaughtered them with only his physical fitness and brains. Instead of venting on people weaker than himself, he adheres to a saying: When a brave man is angry, he will swing his sword at the stronger one. The weak are angry and swing their swords at the weaker.

"People like you will do what the strong want to do if they have strong power. And some naturally weak people, even if they obtain strong power, will only end up doing bad things like bullying, robbery and massacre." Guilliman said.

Qin Mo suddenly realized what Guilliman had just suppressed. He shook his head: "Actually, you are more determined than me. If it were me, after I woke up and saw what the empire looks like now, I would run away immediately and start again. Build a new empire instead of cleaning up the mess bit by bit. You want to farm, and I also have my own ideas of comfort, but both you and I chose the most difficult path when making a decision."

Guilliman nodded in agreement.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Adam walked into the bedroom, glanced at Guilliman's projection, and then saluted and reported: "The fleet is ready, and the Iron Man has established the star gate."

Qin Mo nodded, pressed the old woman's sword to the ground, and stood up.

He was not as melancholy as before, but became determined, just like the expression of the statue next to the star port in Tyron's capital galaxy with a sword pointing into the void.

"I'm going to teach Imotek a lesson."
