Warhammer: My Biological Father Emperor and My Demigod Brother

"Is this the power of religion? It makes people willingly endure suffering in ordinary times, and even in the face of extreme danger, they can still endure it. This has already overcome the fear of the body."

Marum thought of the state religion and their faith in the "God-Emperor".

He naturally didn't think Aaron was being sarcastic or anything, but rather deduced that Aaron, living in a polytheistic era, was reflecting on the subsequent monotheistic beliefs.

When people witness firsthand what will happen in the next phase of the future, they always think, "Damn, how did the world become such a monstrosity?"

If we talk about several historical periods, which are too far removed from the past and make it difficult to deduce the evolution within them, then we won't feel much sadness.

Marum said, "In a sense, faith exists to enable people to overcome physical fears and do the impossible."

Aaron patted Xiao An on the back, saying helplessly:

“What’s frightening is that, judging from the situation in Sodom, I think faith can also lead people to indulge in sensual pleasures and act against so-called morality and ethics without any psychological burden. As my father and mother said before, the thoughts of countless intelligent beings have influenced the Warp.”

"Now here's the question: if there truly is a God who decides to punish sinners because of the injustices of Sodom, then the people of Sodom have always believed in a God who will not destroy them even though they have committed injustices. In some identifications, they are the same God. So how would this manifest in the Warp?"

Aaron's face showed curiosity. He didn't seem concerned about who would be saved, the good or the bad, but rather about:

Who will win the final victory?

Marum found this difficult to explain because their era faced the same problem.

Even His Majesty himself is one of those who opposes this contradiction.

The changing situation didn't give the two a chance to continue their discussion, and Anglon didn't understand anything at all.

All his little brain needs to know is how to find food to cook, and not to eat dead people.

Philosophical speculation?

Xiao An doesn't know.

The religious guards were approaching them, their intentions clear.

Previously, most of those abandoned by households were elderly people. The primary reason was that they were old and their appearance had faded, and the secondary reason was that the elderly had no productive value in society.

So this time, it's the children's turn.

After all, directly forcing young and middle-aged people can easily lead to unnecessary trouble.

People will also make their own choices.

Furthermore, young adults are at the peak of their physical function, and the morning and midday sun is most beneficial to them.

"Why don't we go take a look? One reason is to see why the old thing hasn't floated up yet. The other is to see what kind of monster is up there."

Aaron simply said to Marum, to avoid further torment in this so-called trial.

Marum nodded and set off in his donkey cart toward the volcano.

Aaron followed closely behind, but after a few steps, he found that someone was tugging at the hem of his clothes.

He turned around and saw the child who had been the first to be questioned by them.

The fact that they were from out of town was almost exposed by this child, which caused the unfortunate child to be knocked unconscious.

However, he was lucky at first and was found by his parents.

Now it has become part of the sacrifice.

"Brother, do Mom and Dad not want me anymore? They said that as long as I am offered to God, everyone can survive."

The child is currently feeling lost and doesn't know what to do.

Aaron Teng didn't make a move, he just smiled and said:

"If it is not your fault that someone wants you dead, then you should take a sharp weapon and go and ask them yourself."

He had a sudden urge to fool the little kid, partly to pass the time on the road, and partly to see if the child was any good.

As long as the father's supposed magic weapon for father-son education—the brass-headed leather belt—can be whipped quickly, it should be able to save him.

The child just kept shaking his head; he couldn't understand, and emphasized:

"Big brother, do you believe in God? God says we should be good people. Are you good people?"

Aaron frowned. Something was wrong. He scrutinized the other person's eyes, which held a hint of childlike cunning.

He chuckled and said, “No,” he thought of his father and described him as “probably the kind of sinner whose statues are left behind, whose deeds are recorded in books, and who will be cursed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.”

The little kid shook his head and said:

"No, no, no, big brother, you must be a good person. Why don't you take our family's place? Only one person from each family is enough. There are three of you, and I can take this donkey back to use as food, which can save even more people."

The child's words were so natural, without any excitement or excessive emotion hidden in them, as if he were telling a story that should have happened naturally.

Aaron closed his eyes, put Anglon back on the donkey cart, and reached out to take the child's hand:

"Follow me."

The child began to struggle, and when his hopes were not fulfilled, he went mad, even biting Aaron's hand.

"Let me go! I don't want to die with you!"

Aaron's expression remained unchanged, showing neither pity nor joy.

He just remembered how he used to push over those little kids who spread rumors in Thebes, and realized his father was right?

As long as one's heart is guided only by one's own morality, one will not be burdened by worldly affairs.

Unlike his father, who only cared about his own comfort, Aaron was more inclined to observe the reactions of others.

According to Marum's fragmented descriptions of his future father, the future emperor was also single-mindedly pursuing his goals. While he did have some plans for the human empire, they were more like those of a silly bird that would just put branches together to make a nest and roll its eggs down into it.

Aaron is not that kind of person; he wants to bring this child to the brink of death.

The child first cried and fussed, but then saw that Aaron remained unmoved.

He then began to beg for mercy, his face streaked with tears as he pleaded.

Then he shouted out his idea: the three members of this family could be divided among three families to replace the sacrifice.

If the children growing up in Sodom were like this, the corruption in the hearts of the adults was beyond description.

However, Aaron's expression remained unchanged. In that instant, the child felt that the person pulling him forward by the hand was not human.

Unable to help but cry out in terror again when faced with a horror beyond death.

This woke up Anglong, who was very annoyed, thinking that his eyes were playing tricks on him and that he could see his brother's hair growing back.

She quickly rubbed the corners of her eyes, closed them again, and then opened them to see the bald brother she knew.

Then he opened his ferocious mouth, reached over the donkey cart, and scare the child until he finally stopped crying.

"Haa, brother, are we going to find Dad? He's been down there for days. Even if he wasn't burned to a crisp, he's at least a charcoal doll."

Xiao An's guess about her father was not ideal, so she asked again:

"Brother, why do you look so serious? Did this little brat bite you? I'll bite back! I don't eat people, but I can bite them, right?"

Aaron finally smiled, patted Xiao An on the head, and said:

"No, I just wanted to see how people react when death is inevitable. Holding an adult's hand isn't appropriate, so this little guy came to me."

His smile, shown for the first time to this unfortunate child, sent chills down one's spine:

"Child, follow me."

"Are you going to take this little brat with you to your death?"

On the other side, Anglong leaned against the donkey cart railing, swinging his bare legs lazily, yet uttering terrifying words:

"Anyone who tries to harm you, brother, must die."

Aaron slapped Angron on the forehead again and whispered:

"All you ever do is fight and kill. When I want to kill someone, I don't even need you to do it."

It's one thing to slaughter pigs and chickens on a regular basis, since they're going to end up in one's own stomach.

It's best not to involve Xiao An in matters of murder.

If only that old man were at home, he could do all the dirty and tiring work.

At this moment, in the eyes of this child, the person he chose is truly indescribable.

It was as if he was already standing on the edge of a river of lava, about to be thrown in, his fate of death already sealed, yet he didn't know what to think about anymore.

In Sodemar's environment, no matter how clever or wicked he became from childhood, nothing in his life was fixed and unchangeable.

Because he witnessed adults living in deception and pleasure from a very young age, he had no moral burden.

Just like when he was chosen by his parents to make a sacrifice for the family, he still didn't think he had reached a dead end, but instead chose Aaron again.

He himself had pulled on Aaron's clothes, but now his hand was being grabbed, and his fate was sliding into the abyss.

Death must already be standing behind him, laughing out loud.

Cunning is but the least significant aspect of Sodom's sins.

Few families die peacefully like Aaron's, even when someone overheard the child's words and wanted to divide the family into several parts to replace their share.

Those religious defenders wouldn't agree either.

More deaths mean more time is gained.

The people who had been sentenced to death eventually gathered on the road leading to the volcano. The road beneath their feet was no longer the original street, but covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash and previously solidified volcanic rock.

The sweltering heat and pervasive dust of the past have returned, once again enveloping everyone.

As you go further in, you can even see some charred corpses covered in volcanic lava. Some of them were unlucky and did not die a quick death.

The spot where it was thrown was still movable, but it turned into its current state after only a few steps.

If they hadn't witnessed their father being thrown into the lava, Angron would have jumped down one by one to identify which one was his father.

"Oh dear, I thought this sculpture created by nature would be exquisite, but it just looks like a lump of clay."

Xiao An peered at the surrounding scenery and made comments.

"It's not even as good as the dough I kneaded, brother. How about we don't think about using natural materials for carving in the future? Let's buy some wheat flour and carve human figures before each meal."

"I want to make myself look like my dad, and then eat him in one bite!"
