Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 361 How could it be you? ! (Please subscribe)
"Nios, why is it you?"

Luo Xi stood there, rubbing his fingers instinctively to speed up the flow of the blood that had become stiff due to shock.

Before climbing the stairs, he prepared for the worst in his mind - once in Macragge, during a conversation with Guilliman, the other party suggested that the "Chief" might be the same person as the "Emperor".

Although Luo Xi strongly refuted this absurd statement, this shadow has always lingered in his heart. To be honest, who can completely deny this possibility?

Even after repeated ideological struggles, Luo Xi felt that this possibility was not completely unacceptable. Although he didn't know why the almost perfect wise man in his heart had become the one who repeatedly behaved in confusing ways, it was also a good thing to see the Chief again.

And when he saw the true face of the Lord of Mankind, he realized that his guess was wrong, but not completely wrong.

It’s because the person in front of me does have some relationship with the chief.

Luo Xi knew the man under the aura of the Lord of Mankind.

"Is Neos your real name or just one of your endless names?" Luo Xi asked repeatedly, desperate for an answer.

"You are the Emperor, you are the Lord of Mankind, you are Neos, you are the Messiah of Om, who else are you?!"

Luo Xi's heart was pounding. If a person suddenly discovered that the true identity of one of his friends was the Lord of Humanity, he would probably have the same reaction.

"You may take that as my real name, my friend," said the man on the throne.
"Ten thousand years later, we will meet again."

The Emperor's voice appeared directly in Roche's mind, and he tried his best to control his psychic energy to prevent the scattered power from blowing Roche's head into pieces.

Even Malcador could not sustain the psychic power of the Lord of Mankind for long, let alone a psychic insulator like Roche.

Looking at Neos, whose face was filled with pain, Luo Xi's mind flashed back to their past interactions.

In the 21st millennium of mankind, Roche entered the famous Pan-Solar Union University. He concealed his previous identity and relied on the knowledge and experience accumulated over a long period of time to enter the top university in this solar system.

This is the cradle of humanity's cutting-edge technology and frontier theories, and countless famous scientists have emerged and grown from here.

Many people who graduated from here became top figures in a certain field, some entered the human alliance to engage in politics, and became the CEO of a certain star region. Many founders of giant technology monopolies also came from here, turning the knowledge learned at the Pan-Solar System Alliance University into tangible behemoths.

For an immortal like him, it is not a strange thing to go back to university. In a long life, one always needs to do something to kill time. Even hobbies that one once loved will eventually become boring and indifferent after countless years of repetition.

But he is not good at learning. Luo Xi has always maintained a good habit of learning. For those cutting-edge technologies, he needs to spend a long time to absorb those genius ideas and theories, and what he lacks the least is time.

At that time, at the Pan-Solar System Union University, he got to know the chief of the alliance with his outstanding performance.

He continued his studies beside the Chief as a student, and after several years of getting along, Luo Xi confessed to him his identity as an immortal.

"Your hiding is not very good, Luo Xi." The chief just smiled and said, "I helped you erase the traces you left behind. Someone in the alliance is tracking down the traces of you immortals."

"One of the original driving forces behind the development of mankind today is the fear of death. Countless people yearn for the power of immortality."

With the development of human technology, society has become more transparent and intuitive. The lives of immortals like Roche, who have left their marks in history, have become increasingly difficult, and their hiding has become extremely difficult.

At that time, there were several equally outstanding talents beside the chief who studied with him.

Neos is one of them.

To be fair, Luo Xi and Neos are both students of the chief. Although they are from the same school, they do not have a very close relationship.

The reason is simple, mainly because this Neos... is too aloof and mysterious.

He didn't know where to return to school almost only when the chief was in class, and he was only interested in courses related to biological genetics. As for other courses in the fields of mechanics, artificial intelligence, etc., he was nowhere to be seen.

However, in top universities, geniuses are often eccentric and difficult to understand, and there is never a shortage of people who do amazing things, so Neos's habit of "skipping classes" would not attract other people's attention at all.

In other words, only Luo Xi, who was also bored and often paid attention to some weird classmates, noticed the existence of Neos.

He even sought information from the Chief about his situation, and after the Chief showed Roshi several papers written by Neos in the field of bio-genetic science, Roshi immediately understood that Neos was a true genius. Neos's papers even mentioned the idea of using enhanced transformation surgery to strengthen the ordinary human body. The completed form would possess greater strength, enhanced recovery capabilities, and a more powerful mindset. Roshi, pondering this from his current perspective, suddenly realized.

Isn't this the Thunder Warrior, or the original prototype of Astartes?

The concept of Astartes appeared earlier than expected.

"Neos is a smart boy." The chief spread his paper on the table and scribbled with a pen, outlining some important parts.

"Unfortunately, he didn't learn everything well. He learned everything but not deeply enough. Otherwise, his idea of ​​human enhancement wouldn't be full of loopholes."

"His plan also requires surgery to implant the modified object. In terms of human body adaptability and modification efficiency, it is inferior."

"Since they are planning to carry out transformation, why not just use genetic drugs to automatically generate the so-called transformation organs after the individual transformation begins?"

"So, I can only give him a B+, but if he can continue to improve, maybe he can get to an A."

The memories in his mind seemed to be activated, and even Luo Xi didn't realize that he still remembered this scene.

The aura of the emperor as the master of mankind suddenly dissipated a lot in his eyes.

After all, if a person knew that the great, omnipotent human emperor could only be rated B+ by his teacher in the past, his worship of him would be more rational.

The figure on the throne saw Luo Xi's expression change, and he immediately laughed as well.

It was a genuine smile.

The horrific pain caused by the Golden Throne's extraction of psychic energy could not break his will. In fact, if necessary, the Emperor could sit here for a whole day, a whole year, or even ten thousand years.

His will had long been sublimated, and everything he had was dedicated to the great cause of saving humanity.

"Yes, I failed to satisfy my teachers and didn't get an A grade until I graduated."

The face of the Emperor, or Neos, showed happy memories of the past, and his consciousness seemed to have returned to the days when he was studying at the Pan-Solar Union University, when he was carefree and free.

He can freely choose the courses that interest him to attend, or he can silently appreciate the figures of some young and lively classmates.

Humanity is full of vitality and constantly moving forward. It is not the turn of a student like him to save the world.

Having survived from the Stone Age to the present day as an emperor, he has witnessed firsthand how humans have created incredible achievements step by step. He has seen human progress and innovation, and he has seen what this race is really like.

"So, all those times you skipped classes, you went out to save the world?"

Luo Xi's mood was extremely complicated. He felt both the emotion of meeting an old friend and the helplessness of Neos's current desperate situation.

He subconsciously made a joke to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"It's not like I'm saving the world. I'm just trying my best to help as many people in need as possible." Neos said this modestly. However, with his terrifying psychic power, calling him a superman would be an underestimation of him.

"Your current situation is... Oh, I don't know where to start. Are you okay, Neos?"

Luo Xi had many questions in his mind that he wanted to ask Neos, but when he really wanted to open his mouth, he didn't know where to start or what to say first.

Why did the Emperor take the path he is on today, and how should they solve the current predicament of the Empire.

How did humanity fall into depravity during the Golden Age, and why did the Dark Age of Technology end in the destruction of the Iron Man Rebellion?

All of this is brewing in my heart, and in the end it can only be transformed into one sentence: Are you okay?
