Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

He appeared directly from the void and came here through some non-material means.

"Neos, he's gone. This time the journey is not in the spatial scale, but in the time dimension." The Chief turned around and looked at his other immortal student.

"He will wake up at some point in the future, if humanity is really in dire straits."

The Emperor, or rather Neos, showed a bitter smile.

"In fact, according to my psychic prophecy, what you are worried about will definitely happen in the near future. With the degeneration of mankind and the loss of control of technology, our race will enter an unprecedented low point, an extremely dark era."

"The genetically modified golden men have a greater genetic gap with humans than the gap between humans and fish. Fish that have come ashore are no longer fish. They have already embarked on the path of ascending to become gods. The golden men have actually transformed into another species that parasitizes on humans."

"Scientists who have mastered the most cutting-edge technology have lost the constraints of humanity. They are willing to do anything to achieve the advancement of their own technology and better explore the nature and ultimate secrets of the universe."

"With the help of the complete STC, those monopoly giants were able to skip the basic production relations that lasted for tens of thousands of years. In the past, capitalists only controlled the means of production, but still needed to make profits by squeezing the surplus value of workers. But now they don't need to do that. Stonemen and ironmen have completely replaced ordinary people."

"Their final form will be the ultimate producers, with a very small number of individuals dominating all resources. By then, even the tools of the rebels will be controlled by the logic matrix and code and obey the orders of the monopoly giants."

The chief just listened with a smile, and only spoke slowly after his student had finished speaking.

"I never believe in prophecies. After all, peeking into the future cannot control it. I believe that human beings will find a way out themselves."

"It's better to let me take on the heavy responsibility of dealing with the golden men, scientists, and monopoly giants that have abandoned their bottom line and humanity. It might be better for him to let Luo Xi go to the future and become a trump card that may never be used."

The two people in the room looked at each other for a long time, and saw the deep meaning flowing in each other's eyes.

"To reinforce the future." said the Chief.

"To reinforce the future." Neos repeated.

Luo Xi absorbed this memory and completed the missing truth.

When he heard the chief's words "this might be better for him", tears had already flowed down his face without him noticing.

"So, the Chief used the Future Reinforcement Plan to help me escape those cruel years? Why? I can help him!"

"Does he think my ability is limited? Not enough to change the situation?" Luo Xi wanted an answer.

By recalling that memory, Luo Xi finally understood the Chief's other deeper meaning. He did not want his students to face those terrible enemies with him, those "humans" who had completely lost their humanity.

The Chief deprived him of the right to fight alongside him and sent him to the 31st millennium of mankind.

"This is a form of protection, Luo Xi. The Chief knows that the path he has chosen will lead him to face countless terrifying enemies. Even if you are an immortal, immortality is nothing to those enemies."

The Emperor continued, revealing to Roche the first layers of meaning behind the future plans for reinforcements.

"What about the chief's ending? What happened to him?" Luo Xi wiped away his weakness. Now that things have come to this, can he still blame the chief?

He wanted to know what happened to the man who was both his teacher and friend.

"I didn't know this. They were all able to block my psychic prophecies. Every war in that era was accompanied by a game of prophecy and counter-prophecy. Both sides spied on and manipulated each other on the timeline."

The Emperor replied, "But I know that when the rebels led by Kadul were fighting against them, before the final battle, the enemy's top leaders suddenly disappeared mysteriously."

"That's why the Iron Man Rebellion we know of ended so abruptly. I suspect it was the Chief who put an end to them."

Luo Xi felt a severe pain in his brain. His firm belief suddenly changed after hearing the Emperor's statement.

After a long time, when he came back to his senses, his face had returned to calm.

"Since it was your arrangement that I came here, then tell me, what is my mission?"

“What is my true mission?”

All along, the original driving force that has supported Luo Xi from ten thousand years ago to the present is the Chief's instructions.

It was the [Future Reinforcement Plan] that he entrusted to Roche. When mankind faces the final tribulation, it can at least continue the flame of this race.

That's why Roche, after leaving Isstvan V, went to great lengths to help Guilliman fight the rebels.

Then, in the long war, he witnessed the courage and sacrifice of countless mortals, and witnessed that human beings were still strong and unyielding ten thousand years later. They were willing to use their lives to prolong the destiny of this empire and this race for even one second.

He has already integrated into it and is no longer the person who silently observes from an objective perspective.

The Emperor heard Luo Xi's answer. He was silent for a while and then sighed.

"If you hate me, then hate me."

"It was me who modified the Chief's future reinforcement plan. It was me who brought you to this dark age and made you face countless cruel realities."

Neos was very calm. He did it and admitted it.

"No." Luo Xi interrupted the emperor firmly.

"The cruel reality is always better than false deception. I am not as fragile as you think, Neos."

Luo Xi suddenly smiled with relief and said, "No matter what your original intention was, I have made countless changes. Maybe my starting point was arranged by you, but now I have my own ideas."

"I will walk the rest of the way on my own."

There was a hint of satisfaction in the emperor's eyes. The Luo Xi in front of him was completely different from the fellow apprentice who studied with the Chief ten thousand years ago.

Now he is more suitable to be the executor of that plan.

"In fact, the task I designed for you is not complicated, Luo Xi." The Emperor was brewing the right words and telling Luo Xi's true mission.

"Reinforcement for the future is just a cover. What I really need you to do is escape."

run away?

Where to escape?

When Roche had just awakened, he did think about escaping, going far away, and finding an uninhabited place outside the galaxy to restart civilization, but he gradually learned about the situation outside the galaxy from the Necrons and the Eldar.

It's not just the galaxy that is a mess. There are also all kinds of terrifying enemies outside the galaxy. This universe has already been rotten. If he had chosen to escape, he would have been a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

This universe is gradually dying and disappearing, the subspace and the real universe are losing balance, and perhaps one day in the future all rebellious life will die, and the Supreme Heaven will completely occupy their universe.

The emperor saw the disbelief in Luo Xi's wide eyes.

"Yes, it was escape. The Chief's reinforcements in the future were inherently limited. It was a plan doomed to fail, so I made changes to it."

"I have seen the future. When Horus sets foot on Terra, I will have to fight a decisive battle with my son. But the one who will fight against me is not Horus."

"The four gods behind Horus are the real enemies. They murdered my son and controlled him to do countless despicable things. I don't know how this war will end. Perhaps the best outcome is that I will sit on the Golden Throne forever and delay the demise of mankind."

The Emperor's voice was calm. In fact, in the current war on the surface of the solar system, the Lord of Mankind had been waging a war of hearts and minds with Horus and the four gods behind him.

They fight at the level of will and higher dimensions, a kind of warfare that is unimaginable to mortals.

"Each of us has our own mission, Roche. If humanity is doomed to perish in endless pain and suffering in the future, then I hope it will not be completely severed."

"This is the Chief's instruction to you, and also the mission I give you. If everything really reaches a point where it cannot be reversed, I will use my last bit of strength to send you away from this extremely dark universe."

"The universe is diverse. Maybe our universe is beyond repair, but there must be other universes that are still safe."

"You will leave your hometown and become a true wanderer, seeking a world without the contamination of the warp."

The Emperor stroked the Golden Throne beneath him, a relic from the dark technological age that was drawing upon his psychic energy every moment to seal the broken webway loophole.

Suddenly, Neos seemed to remember something, and a rare strange smile appeared on his face.

"I don't know if you've noticed, but sometimes you show intuition similar to that of a psychic."

Psychic?

Luo Xi suddenly came to his senses. He had repeatedly doubted himself before, wondering whether he was a psychic.

"In fact, every immortal is a psychic, but the strength of their psychic powers is different. As early as when I met you at the Pan-Solar System Union University, I helped you completely seal your psychic talent."

"Psykers are always facing the covetousness of the Warp. The gods of the Warp are always keeping a close eye on my actions. The grand plan you are responsible for cannot have such an obvious loophole."

Luo Xi reacted immediately and blushed. It turned out that the root of the problem was still this old bastard.

"Okay, okay, you've already plotted against me, Neos!"

The Emperor didn't know whether he closed his eyes and turned a deaf ear to it in order to avoid embarrassment or to better suppress the rioting Warp under the Golden Throne.

Luo Xi had no way to deal with such a shameless guy who would not tolerate any insults.

The Emperor's power, amplified by the Golden Throne, allows him to maintain the Astronomican, which is now essential to the functioning of the Imperium, while also being able to suppress those Warp monsters that attempt to break through the psychic barriers he has set up and desire to sweep across Terra.

Some people believe that the Golden Throne and its experimental machine, the Black Glaze, are innovative products of humans in the Dark Age of Technology who attempted to hack into the Webway left behind by the Old Saints.

Its core is a powerful psychic amplification device. If the user can withstand the pressure of the Golden Throne and not have his soul completely drained by it, he will be able to experience the feeling of consciousness upgrading in a short period of time.

The Emperor discovered the Golden Throne in ruins in the deserts of Central Asia in the 30th Millennium. Even he could not fully fathom the technology within this technological relic, and its creator had long been lost in time.

He brought the Golden Throne back to the Terra Palace, and with it as the core, he created a huge auxiliary core that occupied half of the continent.

"I spent countless time and energy studying this golden throne. Finally, I realized that hacking into the ancient saints' webway was not its main ability. Or, the one who created it looked down on the ancient saints' webway."

"The ultimate purpose of the Golden Throne is to serve as a medium and anchor point. It will absorb the pain and souls of countless humans and allow the user to form a divine projection of his own in the warp."

"The one who comes down from the Golden Throne will be the God of Mankind. He will be the collective of all mankind and will become the concept of humanity itself. This is also the path of ascension that some people seek."

"This is nothing more than an altar and temple built by some madmen in order to ascend to godhood. They use the suffering souls of countless humans as fuel to completely ignite the divine fire and become a conceptual entity in the warp."

As Luo Xi listened to the Emperor's narration, he suddenly felt extremely cold all over. Although the other party did not say it explicitly, all clues pointed to the creator of the Golden Throne, who was the group of lunatics who had abandoned their humanity that the Chief was fighting against.

Only they would be crazy enough to use the pain and souls of all mankind to create a human god. This is the path to ascension they desperately desire.

"Nyos, if you stand up from your throne...will you become the human god you said you would be?"

In response to Luo Xi's question, the emperor did not give an answer.

"I don't know. When nothing happens, everything is unknown."

Luo Xi couldn't help but swallow his saliva. The elves might have a say in this, as the Prince of Joy was awakened and born in this way.

If the thing brewed by the Emperor devours the entire human race like Slaanesh, then there is no doubt that true destruction is coming. The best outcome for mankind is probably to be on the run forever like the Ark Eldar.

It is extremely ironic that the Golden Throne, a technological relic designed to end humanity and allow its users to upgrade, has now become the key to maintaining humanity's survival.

This is a deadly poison. Humans have to drink it in large gulps to stay alive, but it seems that they still cannot avoid the final death and destruction.

Roxi's brain was working, and he realized that the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne not just to maintain the existence of the human race.

Just as he said, the Golden Throne is also the throne of ascension. The moment the user sits on it, the so-called God of Mankind is born. It's just that His awakening may take a long time, requiring the death and suffering of countless humans as nourishment.

"I have read the records of the Golden Throne's use. When it was first created, it was already the end of the Dark Age of Technology. They tried to use this miracle to achieve their own ascension at the cost of human extinction, but their essence was too fragile and they ultimately failed." said the Emperor.
