He promised to become a knight, but what the heck is Astartes?

On the golden roulette wheel are engraved countless mysterious runes and patterns, each representing a powerful force capable of shaking the entire universe!

[Imperial Hook], [Imperial Hand], [Imperial Eye], [Imperial Voice], [Imperial Geneline], [Random Gene Primarch Bloodline], [Warband Order], [Imperial Legion], [Psionic Awakening], [Dreadnought]...

Looking at the glittering options on the golden roulette wheel, Rorschach's breathing became rapid, and saliva dripped down his throat.

If I could just randomly draw one, wouldn't I be invincible?

"By the great Emperor Hook! I beg you! Give the child gold!"

Luo Xia prayed frantically in his heart. After all, he was well aware of his own luck. Two rounds of guaranteed wins were all wrong, which could be diagnosed as being from an African chieftain.

but now!

Rorschach really wants to win this time!

As the golden roulette wheel began to spin rapidly, Rorschach's heart clenched.

Gold! Gold! Gold!

Finally, under Rorschach's expectant gaze, the golden roulette wheel slowly came to a stop.

The golden pointer eventually pointed to an option that Rorschach hadn't expected.

Congratulations! You have gained the Emperor's favor!

"Huh? That's awesome!"

"Who even cares? Who wants it anyway?!"

"Damn, that's hot!"

Luo Xia was completely stunned by the result.

The Emperor's Favor...

Hahahaha, what is this?!

Luo Xia was devastated and could hardly believe it. With trembling hands, he clicked on the ability description:

[The Emperor's Favor (Passive)]

[Introduction: You are the emperor's most beloved child; your very existence is the greatest contribution to human civilization!]

[Effect: Your charm will be greatly enhanced. All intelligent life forms in the human faction will feel a natural affinity for you upon first sight. Furthermore, you will find it easier to attract women.]

"..."

Luo Xia stared blankly at the introduction, and remained silent.

Speak! Are you truly a great emperor?

Shouldn't this be the power of Slaanesh's chosen one?

"Our great emperor has been corrupted by Slaanesh o()o..."

Luo Xia still held a sliver of hope. What if, what if the Emperor's favor was some kind of world-destroying power?

But the result... is that all?

Isn't this just a passive charm aura?!

While the fact that he was more likely to attract women was indeed very attractive to Rorschach, who was single in his previous life.

but……

"By the great Emperor Hook, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"

“I, Rorschach, am meant to be your sharpest sword, to sweep away all heresy for you, not to become some Slaanesh chosen one, a heartbreaker!”

Rorschach felt like crying but couldn't bear it. He couldn't even imagine how the Primarchs on Terra would laugh at him if this news reached their ears.

"Fine, if the great emperor wants to pamper himself, then so be it."

"After all, who made me, Rorschach, the son who dotes on him the most?"

Chapter 57 Whispers from the Spirit Realm (Thanks to Lord of Cinder and Hunter's Chosen for the 14 monthly tickets!!)

"Thank you so much, great Emperor Hook..."

Luo Xia lay sprawled on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, his entire being lost in a kind of sage-like emptiness.

He had just experienced a rollercoaster ride from ecstasy to despair.

The five large characters, "[The Emperor's Favor]", were like a merciless hammer, shattering all of Luo Xia's beautiful fantasies about the Golden Throne.

I could have endured it if I had never seen the light.

After all, no matter how you look at it, this "Imperial Favor" is the worst thing in the entire commendation order.

To put it nicely, it's called favor; to put it bluntly, it's just empty promises made by the emperor!

"I knew it! That old bastard showed me those high-level rewards; he definitely didn't have good intentions!"

Luo Xia rolled over, pulled the blanket over his head, and his voice sounded muffled.

To be honest, at this moment, this absolutely loyal person of his was truly heartbroken.

I'm a great emperor, and I've been working myself to the bone for almost a month, haven't I?

Look at what he got!

He has useless strength, and wasn't he supposed to be trained to become an Astartes?

Where are my two hearts and three lungs? Where is my ceramic power armor?

None of them...

There is only one [Emperor's Favor]!

At this moment, Rorschach seriously suspected that the one sitting on the golden throne was not the ruler of mankind at all, but some Slaanesh demon in the guise of an emperor...

Otherwise, how do you explain the passive energy of this ability?

Increase your attractiveness and make it easier to win over women?

Does this have anything to do with Astartes' loyalty and bravery?

This is clearly the standard ability of Slaanesh's chosen one!

Rorschach sometimes says he's Slaanesh's chosen one, but he's just saying it casually. How come the Emperor actually believed him?

"How did I, Rorschach, a loyal subject of the Emperor, a future Astartes, a guardian of Holy Terra, and the great Emperor's Fist, end up with such an ability?"

Luo Xia wanted Yu Yu, and tried to cry while hiding under the covers.

At this moment, he could already imagine the future: as he led his legion in a bloody battle against the chaotic and corrupt army, the women in the enemy camp suddenly defected, shouting:

"Lord Rorschach, you're so handsome! I want to have your babies!"

Then he charged over with a big sword, not to kill Rorschach, but to give him a loving hug.

The scene was so beautiful that Rorschach could hardly believe it.

"If the great Regent of Terra knew this, wouldn't he consider me Slaanesh's chosen one and chop me into pieces?"

"Even worse, if Horus, that love-starved, filial son, knew about this [Emperor's Favor], wouldn't I be even more doomed!"

Luo Xia thought about it and felt that his future was becoming increasingly difficult.

"Forget it, I'm tired. Let's just destroy it."

After a long day of intense competition, from the fierce battles in the GPA contest to the excitement of receiving rewards after a surge in strength, and now the shock of being greatly 'favored' by the Emperor, Luo Xia felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Moreover, he celebrated the victory with his brothers in the Extreme Team until very late tonight. Although Luo Xia only drank milk, he was genuinely exhausted.

So now Luo Xia doesn't want to do anything big, not even the 'Emperor's Creation Workshop'!

Skipping work for a day is like giving the emperor a hard time. Do you feel the sting?

Luo Xia pulled the blanket over his head, forcing himself to stop thinking about these messy things, and his consciousness quickly sank into darkness.

……

In his sleep, Luo Xia felt as if he were sinking into a warm ocean, and every cell in his body was cheering and jumping for joy.

The leap in vitality brought about by breaking through the 5.0 barrier in his physique is causing Rorschach's body to undergo a wondrous transformation.

But just as Luo Xia was comfortably enjoying himself, a sudden chill swept over his entire body and quickly enveloped him.

Immediately afterwards, an irresistible, immense pressure surged from all directions, pinning Rorschach firmly to the bed.

"Well!"

Luo Xia sensed the danger and tried to struggle desperately, but found that his body was as heavy as if it were filled with lead, and he couldn't even move a finger!

Rorschach tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he couldn't open them even a crack.

He wanted to call for help, but his mouth wouldn't move.

Is this the great emperor's punishment for my absence from work?

A thought flashed through Luo Xia's mind for a moment, but he dismissed it immediately.

Because Luo Xia could clearly feel that at this moment, a cold and ethereal being was pressing down on him!

Sleep paralysis?

The thought popped into Luo Xia's mind again: in his previous life, his condition was medically known as sleep paralysis.

But at that moment, Rorschach knew that a ghost was pressing down on his bed!

Could it be a female ghost?

I'm so powerful! [The Emperor's Favor] is so overpowered that even female ghosts can be attracted to it?

This must be a succubus skill...

Just as Luo Xia was lost in thought, a strange sound, like a snake flicking its tongue, suddenly rang in his ears.

"Hiss... hiss..."

Immediately, Luo Xia felt something indescribable being slowly drawn out of his body.

What the hell is this thing?!

Although Luo Xia didn't know what had been drained from him, he was terrified.
