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

Chapter 391 Advanced Technology Community (Request for Subscription)

"Now, who's for and who's against?"

As Roche's voice echoed through the vast hall, the entire place fell silent.

Even though he had gone through many hardships and tests, he still felt nervousness surging in his chest at this moment. The level of nervousness was perhaps only comparable to when he had promised the Chief to carry out the plan to reinforce the future.

In the past, he considered himself an ordinary person, a small figure, and he was in awe of many beings.

But after understanding his true mission, Luo Xi realized that he had become a very important piece in this grand chess game.

Since someone has to do this eventually, why can't it be him?
Although the loyal Mechanicus was defeated in the struggle with the Dark Mechanicus, and even now has to reorganize into the Adeptus Mechanicus under the leadership of Arkan Rand, and has lost its former status as equal to the Empire, it is still an ancient and huge organization.

They are the heirs of ancient Mars, explorers who dig for treasures from the ruins of the past, and it is this vast organization that supports the Emperor's great expeditions.

And now, Luo Xi intends to try to unite this group of people around him. How arrogant and conceited he is.

But Luo Xi seems to really have this ability, he is not just imagining things.

"Those who agree, stand on my left, and those who disagree, stand on my right," said Luo Xi.

The silent crowd suddenly became agitated, with collisions and frictions occurring from time to time, but no one expressed dissatisfaction with these small details.

As the first mechanical priest moved his huge body, the crowd began to move along as if they had found a target to follow.

On the one hand, there is the obvious temptation of Roshi. The human scientific research in the golden age and the lost complete STC are enough to tempt the believers of Om Messiah to do anything.

On the other hand, they are indeed longing for someone capable enough to lead them so as not to let the ancient and great organization of the Mechanicus sink.

Although Luo Xi did not look like a believer of Ohm Messiah, there was no mechanical modification or biochemical organ on his body. Among the crowd, only Sage Akan Rand, who refused any modification, was similar to him.

He looked like just a young mortal, but his eyes were filled with a strong aura of self-confidence that made people want to put their trust in him.

"Perhaps, we can make a bold attempt, believe in him, and believe that he can change everything."

The mechanical priests communicated with each other in their binary language, completing thousands of information transmissions in just a few breaths.

More and more people supported Luo Xi, and Luo Xi's left side was crowded with hundreds of Ohm Messiah believers.

This process lasted for nearly half an hour, and everyone was thinking carefully and calculating the probability and possibility of this choice.

There was even a burnt smell in the air from the Thinker's overclocked computer.

Finally, when the vast majority of the mechanical priests stood on the left, there were still three scholars who did not express their views.

Sage Akan Rand, who had the most conversation with Roche, stood in the middle. Beside him stood a young priest named Belisarius Kaur. Only a sage who looked extremely old, as if he would die of old age at any moment, stood on Roche's right.

Luo Xi moved his eyes to the right. He knew the information about this person - the second head of Terra's biotechnology department, the outstanding geneticist Ezekiel Seidene, who was also the absolute authority in this field today.

Regarding the Terra Biotechnology Department, it is a scientific research organization led by the Emperor. Its laboratory is located in the Himalayas, deep in the present-day Imperial Palace. The Primarch Project and the Space Marine Legion Project were born here.

Its first person in charge was none other than Amaar Astarte, the famous Terran geneticist. Because of her outstanding contributions, the Emperor's Space Marines were officially named after her.

Ezekiel Seidene was lying in an anti-gravity mobile vehicle. He was too old and even life-extending surgery could not extend his life.

His body could no longer withstand a new round of transformation and had truly reached its limit.

The old man, with a cold face and seemingly not caring about anything, stared at Luo Xi with his electronic eyes, as if trying to see any uneasiness and weakness in him.

“Young man, you are very arrogant. You seem to be very confident in yourself?”

"I have dedicated everything to the Emperor and the Imperium. I have spent my entire life working for him. I have contributed to the Imperium's present state, and yet I still dare not aspire to that position." "Can you truly lead the Adeptus Mechanicus to another era of glory?"

Facing Ezekiel's aggressive questioning, Luo Xi's eyes did not waver for a moment.

His heart is as clear as a mirror and he is not afraid of anyone's doubts or challenges.

"I firmly believe that I am the right person, but just like the ancient quantum theory, the cat in the box is in a superposition state of both life and death. Only when the box is opened and observed can the two possibilities collapse into one possibility."

“The results will follow when I lead you to the promised land of Om Messiah.”

Ezekiel Seidene coughed as he drove his disciples to the left.

He was still muttering "ridiculous boy" and "hope it's not ignorant courage", but he still stood on the side of supporting Luo Xi.

Luo Xi shifted his gaze again, and only Sage Arkan Rand and a young mechanical priest were left in front of him.

"In fact, the question I want to ask has already been asked by that old man." Sage Rand smiled, and his electronic monkey also shrank obediently behind his head, occasionally poking its head out timidly but curiously to observe everyone.

"I firmly believe that the future belongs to you. If we pioneers continue to occupy high positions, it will only lead to the rigidity and decay of the system. This is not what I want. I hope to see more academic achievements published and more lost scientific and technological knowledge rediscovered."

When Sage Rand said these words, Ezekiel Seidene, who had just moved to the left, snorted coldly. The disciples around him were silent, lowering their heads and not daring to look at their mentor.

"And I am standing here just to warn you, Luo Xi. I hope you can always remember what I just said. I hope you can discover more new blood and join our great cause."

“Never be complacent, never be complacent, and never think that you have mastered all the truths. Everything in the world is in constant change. Anyone who thinks he is close to omniscience and omnipotence is a complete fool.”

Sage Rand's words were sincere. He glanced at Kohl, who also had no mechanical modifications, and immediately smiled with satisfaction.

He liked the little guy very much, even though they had hardly any contact before.

"My lord," said Kaul, who had remained silent till then.

Luo Xi felt that there seemed to be other phantoms flashing in the eyes of the person in front of him, but they quickly disappeared.

"My colleagues have limited abilities, and their beliefs have become dogmas that they dare not challenge. The Mechanicus has always been constrained in thought. I am deeply disappointed about this, but until today, I met you."

Kohl's words immediately angered many of his colleagues. This young man was too arrogant!
"I support your great cause. I see in you an enterprising spirit. You are a radical through and through. Please allow me to follow you, even if I am just an assistant."

Many people secretly cursed Kaur for being so cunning as to approach Roxi and show his loyalty without any bottom line at such a time.

Damn, why didn't we think of that?
"I hope you can always be progressive and rational. The infinite mysteries of Om Messiah fill the Milky Way so that we can learn from them and become His perfect creations step by step."

After saying that, Kaul and Sage Rand walked to Roxi's left together.

At this point, everyone stood on the side supporting Luo Xi.

"I did it, Neos." Roxi said softly. He could feel the Emperor's gaze directed here. The psychic energy came from the Lord of Mankind.

The fragmented Mechanicus finally found a balance amidst the turmoil and infighting, and Roche was the core of the new life.

Although the real Adeptus Mechanicus Fabricator-General was not present at the moment, does it matter? Not at all!

The Mechanicus cannot allow a mediocre person to serve as their leader. Kane may not be a mediocre person, but compared to the more dazzling Roche, they abandoned him without hesitation.

Luo Xi said solemnly with a victorious smile.

"We were born out of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and we will not be limited to the Adeptus Mechanicus. I declare that the Advanced Technology Community will be established from now on."
