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

Chapter 363: Iron Man Never Rebelled (Please Subscribe)

The answer he got from the Emperor completely shocked Luo Xi. In his opinion, the normal plot should be that the Emperor, who had been hiding among mortals, realized his responsibility and he stood up and assumed the role of savior.

But why is this person Malcador?
Neos continued to review those turbulent years in a storytelling tone.

"After completely destroying the Human Alliance, after a long struggle and compromise, some crazy scientists, monopoly giants, and technological warlords finally colluded with each other, and even some unknown alien races were among them."

"I hate the aliens, not only because they took advantage of humanity's misfortune during the Age of Strife, but also because they were involved in humanity's depravity and corruption. This hatred will never subside," the Emperor said grimly.

"Among them, the number of Jin people is the largest, so they are the dominant ones."

"You can call them the Golden Tech Community."

"The completely unbanned technology has indeed developed as rapidly as they expected. The Dark Age of Technology has arrived. From the perspective of technological development, this is a period far superior to the Golden Age.

By analyzing the research technology of countless alien civilizations, humans began to transcend the original theoretical framework and gradually touched upon the rules and the essence of the universe. We realized that psychic energy is the power of the Supreme Heaven, and that the Necrons use the residual power of the gods of the material universe. "

"Most of the technological relics we know today are products of that era. They are extremely dangerous and extremely powerful."

Luo Xi agreed with this deeply. The technology of the Golden Age contained in his Red Alert was more complete, but if it came to the level of black technology, the creations of the Dark Technology Age were actually superior.

After all, he came from an earlier era, when human technology had not yet reached its peak.

However, if he were to choose, Luo Xi would not choose the science and technology of the dark technological age. Those ghost things completely transcend the constraints of human ethics and imagination, and possess terrible power and uncontrollability that exceed the bottom line.

Those double-edged swords may be more likely to hurt yourself than to hurt the enemy.

He has always disliked things that are beyond his control. Before the ban on Blackstone Technology was lifted, he had been using artificial intelligence with restraint and caution.

"At the time, I just thought it was a normal evolution of human civilization. After all, from my perspective, humans have experienced countless innovations and restorations in order to reach the starry sea. These are all normal phenomena. Besides, even my power is not strong enough to fight against the entire human civilization."

"Tens of thousands of years ago, when I was born in the Two Rivers Region, my power was far from being as strong as it is today."

"I am a human, not a god, Luo Xi." He emphasized.

Neos' answer made Luo Xi understand one thing, which was what the Lord of Humanity was doing during that period of time.

The emperor silently watched the development of human civilization. It is difficult for people living in that era to see the full picture of the era, just like the humans in the dark technological age would not call themselves the so-called "dark technological age."

"Those guys who are in collusion have completely controlled productivity, but they will not let go of any resources, and humans are precious resources."

"If the inefficient production capacity and fragile physical body of human beings are not worth mentioning to the Jinren Technology Community that has mastered artificial intelligence, the truly valuable thing about human beings is their spirit and soul. The human soul cannot be replaced by those things."

"They discovered the purpose of human souls and emotions. The emotions of life are closely related to the Supreme Heaven, and it also became a way for them to get involved in the Sea of ​​Souls."

Endless exploitation and enslavement tortured other humans. In that extremely glorious era, the living standards of most people were not even as good as those of today's ignorant and backward human empire.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance. The intolerable human beings finally broke with the Jin people completely, and the alliance formed by the latter suppressed the human resistance with cruel means.

"Sun Devourers are snake-like machines that coil into giant mechanical devices in the void. They are larger than Saturn's rings and are designed to devour the resources of planets and completely transform them into what humans need. As a result, the Sun Devourers devoured the rebellious human planets, and everything was devoured."

"Almighty bacteriophages are monsters composed of groups of intelligent micro-nano machines. They can devour the world within an hour. They are omnipresent. Even many real universes are made up of them. Many members of the resistance died under their erosion."

The Emperor grimly spoke of all kinds of horrifying and terrifying weapons, but these things designed by humans ultimately fell on humans themselves.

"However, the biggest threat is still the Iron Man. The Iron Man controlled by the Golden People can use the resources of the galaxy to continuously replicate themselves. When they fill the star system like a tide, all resistance will be futile."

Roche couldn't imagine the despair of that moment. Even for the modern Imperium, if it faced such an enemy, even with all the Primarchs fighting, the outcome would likely be a simple destruction. When planets could be torn apart with ease, what use were the Primarchs?

The strength of the Primarchs lies in their cohesion and command capabilities. In terms of pure combat capabilities, they cannot even surpass the Iron Men who are born for fighting.

Conrad Coates, who was beaten several times by Veronica, strongly agreed.

"Iron Man is the biggest enemy of the resistance army, but not all Iron Man are enemies."

Neos said: "There are also Iron Men on the side of the rebels. Their thought matrix believes that the rebels are the real humans, and they are determined to fight against those of their kind who obey the orders of the Golden Man."

"Some Iron Men have concluded through logical calculations that if the Gold Men win, they will not hesitate to drag their own tribe into the abyss for the sake of genetic ascension. The Iron Men who are loyal to humanity cannot accept such a future."

He sighed deeply and stated a fact that no one in the empire could believe.

"In fact, the Iron Men have never rebelled. Even the Iron Men on the Jin side are actually faithfully carrying out the orders of humans. They just hold different positions and fight to the end for their respective positions."

"It's just that each one has his own master. Some iron men are loyal to their golden creators, while others are loyal to the vast majority of ordinary humans themselves."

"Back to the topic we just talked about, in fact, in the beginning, Kadul was the savior that everyone expected. It was he who led the resistance army, constantly fighting against the Golden Man and his minions, and constantly uniting human forces from all over the galaxy, making the resistance army more and more powerful."

It was a human civil war that was far greater in scale and destructiveness than the Horus Heresy, in which humans used iron men and stone men to fight each other.

One star system after another was destroyed in the war. In order to effectively strike the opponent's base, those humans would even choose to actively destroy the sun and use out-of-control stars to destroy everything.

This is a very cost-effective attack method. After all, destroying the balance of a star is too easy, and destroying an out-of-control star will drag everything in the star system into hell.

The image of the seal holder in Luo Xi's mind suddenly became more majestic. Who would have known that this old man, who looked no different from an imperial official, had ever done such an earth-shaking thing.

It can be said that Malcador was once one of the leaders of the human resistance army, and at that time, the ignorant Neos didn’t even know where to play in the mud!
The Emperor has not yet understood his responsibilities and the burden that rests upon him.

But Roche knew that the earliest record of the Emperor in the Imperium was of an ordinary technological barbarian warlord on the devastated Terra during the Age of Strife.

It was after meeting Malcador that the Emperor set his great dream of ending the conflict and unifying mankind.

"After a long war, the Ironmen have become more divided." Neos gave a few examples, "There are Ironmen who are loyal to the Golden Space Community, Ironmen who are willing to fight for the majority of humanity, and Ironmen who are completely disappointed with humanity in the war and choose not to help either side and leave the galaxy."

"There are also a small number of Iron Men who have been contaminated and corrupted by the evil forces of the Warp. They have fallen into the High Heavens, and this group is undoubtedly the most dangerous."

Luo Xi also understood the Emperor's deep meaning. The reason why they adopted a one-size-fits-all approach was to completely prevent human civilization from using artificial intelligence, for fear of repeating past mistakes.

Until an iron man has been thoroughly tested, who knows the position of these guys with advanced thinking patterns, emotions and thoughts of their own.

Even these guys whose way of thinking is different from that of humans, don’t know what they think is good for humans.

Maybe they have calculated that keeping all humans in captivity would be truly good for humanity.

"Yes, the Iron Man never rebelled. It was the humans who were blinded by desire who rebelled."

Reality is so cruel that even just listening to the emperor recounting past events is enough to make people feel suffocated.

Humans who had been hurt by the Iron Man could no longer trust these creations that they once trusted the most. After the war, they were sealed, destroyed, and exiled to the deep space of the universe where no one knew.
