Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

The military parade continued into the night.

According to the reception procedures, Guilliman will be taken to take a bath next.

Qin Mo was not joking. Taking a bath was part of the process, but it was not necessary to take a bath at the beginning.

As the emperor of the space Roman world of Ultramar, Guilliman's bath culture is of course indispensable in the reception process.

It was also essential to discuss business matters while taking a bath. Guilliman also asked Greyfax and Celestine to participate. He intended to resolve some conflicts while taking a bath.

Everyone except Guilliman and Cawl, wearing robes that would not get wet, entered the pool one after another and sat down.

"Can I take off my armor, sage?" Guilliman asked, pointing to the Armor of Destiny.

Kaul thought about it seriously, then shook his head: "I think it's best not to."

"The sage is right." Everene agreed, "This armor not only protects your body but also your soul. It's best not to take it off."

"Okay, I'll watch from the shore." Guilliman was a little disappointed and sat cross-legged on the bank of the pool. "The Tyron people's technological bath and the envy of the Primarchs. For you, this is a luxury that is difficult to find in the entire galaxy. enjoy."

Ephrene wanted to comfort Guilliman, but was interrupted by her mentor Thousand Faces.

Qian Mian took off his red armor but did not take off his helmet. He wrapped his robe and sat in the water with his legs crossed: "The comfortable and close-fitting robe, the right water temperature, the envy from the original body... This is simply Asuryan's A gift!”

Qin Mo also knew that after Fulgrim slashed Guilliman into the ICU, he was not only physically injured, but his soul was also irreparably damaged, so he had to wear armor now.

But this is the real universe.

The Armor of Destiny is also a material in the real universe.

"Come down, original body." Qin Mo motioned to Guilliman to walk down the steps into the bath.

"I'm wearing armor, what's the difference between taking a bath and not taking a bath?" He said this, but Guilliman still stood up and walked into the bath, and then he felt that his skin could touch the water.

Even though he was still wearing armor, he could feel the warmth and comfort of the water just like a normal bath.

Although he didn't know the reason for this, Guilliman could sense that part of the rules of the real universe were distorted in this bath.

Guilliman sat in the bath, closed his eyes and felt the armor as if it didn't exist. He had always felt like a prisoner of the armor, but not at this time.

Only Call was still standing on the shore.

"Now there are only envious looks from the sage, enjoying the downgrade." Qian Mian glanced at Caul.

There was no expression on Call's face. He didn't need to take a bath and didn't want to take a bath, even though his mechanical body wouldn't get wet at all.

Everyone except Kaul was enjoying it.

In the large bathing pool, the monitoring equipment on the roof will adjust the water temperature around each person's body based on their expressions.

The bathhouse is built on the roof of the largest hotel in the No. 1 living area. Outside, there is a constant flow of floating cars and beautiful projections.

No one spoke for a while.

Taking a bath was a novel experience for Celestine. She stirred the water with her wings, and the water spread to Greyfax, who then gave her a blank look.

The water flow also spread to Qin Mo, but when it was about to come within three meters of Qin Mo, it stopped and flowed back, as if it was blocked by an invisible wall.

Qin Mo opened his eyes and looked at Celestine, and then the living saint couldn't make the water spread outward no matter how he moved the water.

The atmosphere is still quite harmonious so far, with only Greyfax frowning in thought.

After a moment, Greyfax, who had organized his speech, suddenly spoke: "Lord of Tyrone, although you have been denying it, everything I have seen since coming to this galaxy proves that you are a heretic."

Qin Mo leaned on the edge of the bath and nodded very calmly when he heard this sentence: "No, I never denied it, I just never went to the court to admit it."

Greyfax didn't expect Qin Mo to be so frank. The series of questions and accusations she had planned in advance were all in vain. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"The people in the Tyrone Sector do not believe in the National Religion or the truth of the Empire. The National Religion still exists in the sector. But the reason why they exist is only because the National Religion here has made great achievements and they have to tempt passers-by to stop and listen to their preaching, not Send everyone who ignores them to the stake."

Qin Mo continued.

"The people in the entire star region are probably all heretics."

"You definitely want to bring the secret forces of the Inquisition to destroy all the wealth and prosperity here, leaving mountains of corpses on the remains of the sector's former glory."

Hearing this, Greyfax nodded, she really wanted to.

"Don't think about it." Qin Mo closed his eyes, "Compromise is a special skill of the empire's top officials. If you are a qualified judge, you should also learn to master this skill."

Greyfax was extremely angry. She would rather hear more heretics than let a heretic leader teach her what it means to be a qualified inquisitor.

Before Greyfax wanted to continue questioning, Guilliman asked: "Inquisitor, what exactly do you think?"

With the original body present at this time, Greyfax felt confident and immediately expressed his true thoughts: "We cannot allow the Tyrone sector to continue to develop. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Now Cadia and Baal are safe, and we have Enough manpower and material resources can be invested in a larger-scale war."

"We are going to have a civil war." Guilliman said calmly, "Even if the Tyrone sector travels thousands of miles to participate in the Battle of Cadia, even if they go to Baal to help my brother's heirs, even if they give a noble moral character to the warband Sufficient equipment so that this chapter can save more people."

Greyfax wanted to argue, but Guilliman had already looked at Qin Mo and asked him: "The suspicion of the Inquisition is ultimately about your motives. Please let this Inquisitor understand that everything you do is for What."

"The human race has struggled for too long in suffering and ignorance, and these sufferings and ignorance can all be attributed to the impact of subspace on the real universe. I want to solve this problem." Qin Mo said.

This sentence sounded too grand to Greyfax and was not convincing.

But Guilliman and Evrené knew better and had a higher status, and they both felt the same way.

The purpose of the Death Army is to bring Death to kill Slaanesh, while Guilliman wants to guide the entire human race to escape from suffering and ignorance. Although the short-term goals of both parties are different, they are both fighting against the evil existence in the subspace. , so the Death Army wants to cooperate with humans.

Hearing this, Guilliman thought for half a second, then turned his head and ordered Greyfax, "When we leave Tyrone, you return to the Inquisition and convey my order to your superiors to terminate all interference with the Tyrone sector. Investigative activities.”

Greyfax looked at Guilliman in surprise, unable to believe that he had given support to the heretics less than a day after arriving in the Tyrone sector. A primarch should have stronger judgment.

But just as Greyfax was about to persuade him, he suddenly realized what Guilliman was thinking.

No matter whether the Tyrone Sector will become an enemy or not, they have now developed to an uncontrollable point. If there is a war with them, even if the empire becomes the winner, it will be a weak winner.

The Tyrone Sector cannot be solved by the Inquisition. Continuing the investigation activities has no meaning other than adding fuel to the fire.

Greyfax pondered for ten minutes before he figured these things out, and finally nodded.

But in fact Guilliman thought more than Greyfax in half a second of thought. If what Efreni said is true and Qin Mo is indeed a Star God, then he is also a Star God who is inclined towards humans.

Before everyone came to take a bath, Guilliman observed Qin Mo with the insight of his original body and found that he was full of strong feelings and pride for everything he had built with his own hands. The same was true when he looked at the imperial guards that he had built with his own hands.

However, this led Guilliman to raise another question, that is, how could a star god like humans? Could it be that he created humans?

This question does not need to be answered urgently.

Guilliman's purpose in bringing Greyfax was to talk things out and stop the Inquisition from adding fuel to the fire.

That's one thing, and there's another thing.
