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

Chapter 585: Die in the Name of Humanity
At that moment, Roche, Orpersun and Malcador stood before the Emperor together. They ignored the imperial guard who was acting as a cover and stared at the Emperor behind them.

The Guardsman wanted to say something, but Malcador used his powerful psychic power to send him back to Terra.

This guy's existence makes the seal holder feel ashamed, and the emperor's behavior is really embarrassing.

Neos could still bear it, but Malcador could no longer bear it.

The emperor's last fig leaf was lifted, and this guy suddenly became embarrassed again.

"My friend, what are you doing?"

"We must stop you from absorbing any more Warp energy. You must stop your extremely risky behavior. You are still hiding the truth, despite your repeated promises that you have not crossed any line."

"You and your sons are cut from the same cloth."

Roche finally understood where Magnus's arrogance and recklessness, and Perturabo's stubbornness and arrogance came from.

Each Primarch had some of the Emperor's faults, as well as some of his strengths.

But conversely, it can also be said that the Emperor possesses the shortcomings of each Primarch.

"You can't stop me. I've made up my mind."

Under the coercion of his three comrades, the emperor still stiffened his neck and acted stubbornly.

"We must defeat Horus, but without absorbing the energy of the warp, I will not be absolutely sure of defeating the four gods behind him."

“Everything today should give way to this battle.”

Facing the current Horus, he did feel unsure. The Lord of Mankind knew very well that whether the entire rebellion ignited by Horus could be ended actually only depended on two people.

That is whether the Emperor can defeat Horus. If he wins, then the rebels will naturally have no room for a comeback.

The power of these two people has reached a level that ignores the number of humans participating in the war. This is a despairing gap.

Olpersong took the lead and said, "I can't stop you? Have you forgotten who stopped you at the Tower of Babel? I stopped you from exploring the power of the Dark Words, which is more dangerous than psychic power."

When the emperor heard his old friend talking about the Tower of Babel, his brows suddenly frowned and he fell into ancient memories.

Then he felt a faint pain in his lower back, a pain in his memory.

"You stabbed me in the waist with a dagger, my friend." The emperor said in a low voice.

An excited smile appeared on Orperson's face, and he grabbed the ritual dagger in his hand with a malicious expression.

"I understand the gap between us. It's so big that you can use your psychic power to break me into atomic fragments with just a thought. But so what? I dared to do it then, and I dare to do it now."

“Strength does not mean right or wrong. You may be stronger, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you are right.”

The first warmaster's bravery was so impressive that Luo Xi couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, signaling him to stab Neos a few more times when necessary.

Anyway, this guy can't be killed, so he needs to be taught a lesson.

After all, he and Malcador were too gentle, and could only use persuasion and threats as a supplement to Neos's approach.

And Olpersson is a pure extremist, he doesn't mind taking the initiative to kill humans.

"You are too rigid, Orr. You can only see my strength, but not my foresight. After all, you are a complete stubborn ass. You are six or seven thousand years older than me, but after so many years, what achievements have you made are still the same, aren't they?"

The emperor was obviously pushed into a corner and actually began to launch crazy personal attacks on Orperson.

His "Magnus"-style arrogant remarks immediately made Luo Xi laugh.

It is said that like father, like son, and this is indeed true. Compared with Magnus, the only difference between the Emperor, the magical giant, is that his power is much greater than Magnus'.

He makes the same mistakes as Magnus, but is strong enough to make up for his mistakes through brute force.

Magnus made a deal with Tzeentch and lost an eye.

The emperor made a deal with the four gods, but he refused to pay his own bill and beat up the four gods who came to collect the debt.

"I would rather do nothing, at least I won't make an irreparable mistake."

The Emperor and Orperson were two completely different people. The former was willing to make mistakes in order to achieve his goals, while the latter was more cautious and cautious. This was one of the reasons why they parted ways. Every Eternal was horrified by the Emperor's arrogance and ambition.

"That is what I meant, my Lord." Malcador stepped forward and planted his scepter in the ground.

"Since you still refuse to come back, let's part ways here in peace."

"Oir will go find a quiet planet to continue farming. Roshi and I will simply lead the fleet to establish a human government in exile and leave Terra for the rest of the galaxy."

The emperor was stunned. He did not expect that his close comrade-in-arms would threaten him like this.

If Malcador abandons his burden and flees...

The Lord of Mankind could not imagine such consequences, because he simply did not want to deal with this mess.

"Me too." Luo Xi added another stab, and Neos staggered and his face turned worse.

If it was just Orperson's intention, he could still hold out, but if all his comrades left him, then there was no point in fighting.

"Even if you don't absorb the damn power of the warp, you are still the strongest human being." Luo Xi said. He had witnessed the other party's great power that spanned the timeline.

"You should stick to your human identity and defeat Horus with human thinking. If you can only defeat Horus by becoming a god, then all our efforts are ineffective and futile."

"Because the birth of the Dark Lord is enough to plunge humanity into despair that is more terrible than Horus' victory. You just chose a more painful way for humanity to die."

Being enslaved by Horus, and then kept as a source of affection by the gods of the Warp, was only a slightly slower death than being devoured by the Dark Lord.

"This is the biggest trap set for you by the Four Chaos Gods. They want to force you to ascend to become a god."

The Emperor was silent. He understood these principles, but the urgency of Horus' arrival made him instinctively want to strengthen himself.

"Do you know what the biggest difference between you and us is?" Luo Xi suddenly asked.

"Power?" Neos asked in confusion.

"Patience," Malcador replied with an unexpected word.

The Emperor's expression suddenly became colorful, and he spread his hands, indicating everything in the solar system.

"I have spent thousands of years planning this, do you think this is still impatience?"

"Patience is a relative concept, Neos," said Luo Xi.

"A thousand years is a long period of time, but you want to spend a thousand years to complete a long-term plan that should take ten thousand years. This is a manifestation of your lack of patience."

"You are always too anxious. You always say that you don't have time. You slowly become more greedy in this sense of urgency, don't you?"

Olpersson lit another cigarette and placed the burning one crosswise with another intact one.

"When I came here, I saw a parallel timeline in the subspace that intersected with ours. In that timeline, I saw a future of endless darkness and destruction. Everything was gone, even the galaxy and the gods."

"Perhaps that is the future after you give up everything and defeat Horus, but what is the meaning of that future?"

"You cannot defeat Horus, humanity is doomed; you absorb the energy of the warp and become the Dark Lord, humanity is doomed."

“This is a dead end dilemma.”

The burning cigarette was about to spread the flame to another cigarette, but was separated by Orpersund before that. That destroyed future gave this timeline a warning.

"If the future is destined to be destruction, Neos, then let us proudly welcome the destruction as human beings. We will all accompany you to face that damn future."

"It's better to die as a human being than to become a god without blood or tears, isn't it?" Luo Xi said with a smile, "Even if mankind will eventually be destroyed, at least it will be on a road to hope."

"It's just death, that's the simplest thing."

The emperor stood there in a daze, lost in thought, while Orpesson in front of him took off the cross necklace from around his neck.

"This is my wife's legacy and my faith. Now I want to abandon my faith in God and fight the future with the identity and strength of a human being. Do you have the courage to do the same as me?"

"Give up the damn power of the warp, and face Horus, the puppet of the Four Gods, with human strength. There has never been a savior in the world, and people can only rely on themselves!"
