Invincible Chapter 1333
Everyone in the world says that Trickster is unparalleled in wisdom and scheming, and Khorne is always counted against.
It is not.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand it.
After all, if that was the case, it wouldn't be that the Khorne series has always been the most numerous and powerful.
Although Khorne has a reputation for being moody and insane, people in the circle know that Khorne is also the most generous of the four evil gods.
In the system of the four evil gods, only those of the Khorne system can reach the sky in one step.
Today, such luck fell on the head of the demon Nakzaha.
Before that, it thought today was its unlucky day.
First, it was delayed by someone to send out troops, and then there was a problem with the teleportation, and it was stuck somewhere underground, unable to advance or retreat. In its thinking, not only did it lose its benefits, but under the backdrop of all the meritorious people, its mistakes were healed. The hair is conspicuous, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it and walk around.
Of course, in fact, Nake Zaha almost used up all his life's character today at once. If it wasn't for this series of problems, then not only would it not be able to receive the blessings of Khorne, but it would die in the first wave of blows from the Kane guards.
After all, the demon-sworn force that replaced its vacant seat because of its late arrival was the one that was wiped out by Kane's guards first, including the demon engine.
So in theory Nakzaha's battle group units should also have demon engines, but it's only in theory. The specific reason will involve a lot of junk about the intrigue and mutual harm within the Tzeentch system, and it is stinky and long, with complicated connections, and it is difficult to understand in a few words.
All in all, Nakzaha can be regarded as a loser in a certain round of struggle, and today's bad luck is just the beginning of tasting the bitter fruit after failure.
According to the normal situation, everything will not go smoothly for Nakezaha in the future, and the situation that the wall will fall and everyone will push it will become more and more clear. When all aspects fall to a low point, the real difficulty will come. If it dies, it will start another round of pre-preparation for the struggle, when to save enough capital, and when to go to the table to start a fight.
Under the social ecology of the Tzeentch family, the life of the middle and high-level people is almost like this, and the cycle goes on and on.
Nakzahar knew this, so when Khorne's boon came, it defected without much hesitation. It can be regarded as setting a precedent in the Sworn Legion, but what Khorne bestowed on it was enough to repay the price of betrayal, so it comforted itself and said: "In the future, when dealing with a group of reckless colleagues, life may be relatively simple and easy. "
However, the gift of Khorne is not completely unconditional. There is a difficulty in front of Nake Zaha that needs to be overcome, and if he cannot overcome it, there is no need to talk about the future.
Khorne didn't deliberately conceal information, which is a good thing for Nakzaha, otherwise it would bump into Kane head-on, and there would be no suspense in the ending.
Also, the task given by Khorne is a bit mysterious, it depends on how the executor understands it.
And Nakzaha is obviously still in a state of prosperity, and the legendary Tzeentch demon's exceptionally strong characteristics when flying solo can be regarded as brought out by it.
It fully understood the core spirit of this mission, split the team into parts and delegated power to the subordinate leaders, and at the same time rewarded them with the gift of Khorne, mobilizing the enthusiasm of the teams.
And it didn't want to be greedy for the big ones, but distributed a large amount of power to its direct line of guards.
At the level of Nakzaha, in addition to normally recruiting capable leaders, propping up the system, and controlling the territory, he also began to consciously cultivate powerful and loyal thugs.
After all, the more high-end the ruler is, the more he will be distracted by non-war affairs, and his personal force will gradually relax, which is normal.
Of course, the forces of chaos respect the strong. Any member with ambition and an online IQ knows that improving one's own strength is the kingly way. The master is weak and the servant is strong, and Tai Ah holds back, which is the behavior of a fool. .
However, there is also a question of cost performance here.
There is obviously a difference between real power and the data power brought about by pure pile power.
The brutal civil war within the forces of chaos has also proved time and time again,
Those rulers who only hold resources tightly in their own hands are tantamount to self-feeding fat pigs. In other words, they can do so well at the beginning, but when they rise to a certain height, this type becomes fat in the eyes of others. pig.
Because the power piled up in this way is imaginary.
The data is very powerful, but if you really want to get up, you can't fully exert it, and some even can only exert 20% to 30% of its strength.
The high-end demons' demand for "powerful and intelligent weapon men" comes from this.
Weapons people don't have to be very smart, but they must have strong professional ability, and they must be drilled. It is best to be gifted, such as Wu Chi or something.
This time, Nakzaha has strengthened a wave of weapon men under his command. In this way, its team as a whole will be regarded as a high proportion (excluding those used for bounties and those it eats) part) converted the power bestowed by Khorne into hard power.
This can be regarded as good steel used on the blade, or a successful game of sharpening the gun.
Khorne was quite satisfied with Nakzaha's performance, and then hid behind the scenes, only keeping his spiritual attention.
He stays in the material world, every minute and every second is a huge consumption, and the number is quite considerable when accumulated over time. At present, it is dozens of times stronger than the power He bestowed on the Soul Reaper Corps and the Nakzaha Corps.
Kane was interacting with the Sisters of Silence when Nakzahar led his warband and began exploring the region from the ground.
For the truly strong ones who are benevolent to their own side, the Silent Sisters are relatively normal. They even simply washed and tidied up before coming to the ceremony as a whole group.
On the contrary, Kane seemed a bit harsh, and he said bluntly:
"I have a certain understanding of your organization. To be honest, I don't like you, especially the way you have behaved in the past thousand years. Comments in one sentence: Distorted by extremes, to this day, your organization has accumulated There is too much darkness. This has put you on the verge of danger, but the emergence of the First Order has shaken the meaning of your existence."
Kane simply explained: "The jump voyage that does not involve the subspace is already in the trial voyage stage. According to the current speed of propulsion, the main route will be opened in at most ten years. Ships will become mainstream.”
The Silent Sisters naturally knew what this meant. The greatest significance of the existence of their organization is actually to collect soul fuel for the Emperor's Astronomical Torch. Instead of cultivating psykers for the empire.
Because of the nature of the empire, it is mortal rule, not extraordinary rule. This makes the official attitude towards psykers, from a certain point of view, similar to the official view of humans in the Marvel Universe and Earth towards mutants.
fear, but at the same time want to control the use.
The work of the Silent Sisters is actually the embodiment of this attitude.
However, the psykers failed to make a big noise, and there were three main reasons.
One, the environment. The interstellar space is vast, and there are many colonies. It is difficult for psykers to compete with technologies such as subspace transition based on their abilities alone, which makes them unable to form a group, let alone a powerful organization.
Second, external pressure. In a world of despair, wars are raging, even psychics are nothing more than stronger ants, instinctively have the will to huddle together for warmth and rely on the species to survive.
It can be said that the general atmosphere of the entire human society has formed a subtle influence on everyone, including psykers.
Three, destiny. This sounds a little fanciful. yet indispensable.
To be more specific, it is precisely because the psykers of Warhammer 40,000 have not appeared like Professor X and Magneto, who have excellent leadership and personal charisma, and at the same time occupy enough luck, so psykers have never had a cosmic level. If the organization is in a mess, it is naturally difficult to achieve a great cause.
Originally, there was one who was most likely to become a leader, the Emperor, and his great witch spirit condensed determined that he could do it.
But after tens of thousands of years of behind-the-scenes research, he finally chose to sit on the side of mortals, which was considered a betrayal of his own camp.
There is such a person who is considered a big man in the field of technology, and at the same time occupies the great luck. People who betrayed, the psykers can be said to have been cheated by the industry bosses, and they are still in the trap. The Astro Torch system is the best evidence.
However, as the cooperation between the First Order and the Empire deepens in multiple fields, non-subspace transition has become an almost inevitable trend.
Who would choose the subspace shortcut when they can safely jump through the physical universe?
The subspace not only has all kinds of terrifying extraordinary life forms that prey on the life in the physical universe, but it is also very unfriendly to the life in the physical universe.
People who work on starships all year round, even if they are lucky, can always turn bad luck into good fortune, and will inevitably suffer from occupational diseases. Specifically, there are two categories, physical distortion and mental illness.
Using Kane's explanation, it is actually a radiation-like infection of extraordinary energy.
For mortals, the erosion of extraordinary energy is much worse than nuclear radiation, and it is basically unsolvable.
Therefore, non-subspace transition is really an irreversible trend.
Especially now that the First Order and the Necrons of Star Gladius are in the honeymoon period of the alliance, and the two sides also have technological interactions. The Necrons’ inertialess transition technology has been obtained by the First Order through normal channels, which makes the non-subspace transition technology On the one hand, it has a more solid foundation.
When it comes to technology, although the Necrons are not as good as the First Order, they are superior in that they are a local force, and their technology basically does not have the problem of acclimatization.
However, the First Order has been fine-tuning continuously because of insufficient information collection.
Finding mistakes and correcting them is easier said than done. Especially for technology, the higher the level, the lower the fault tolerance rate.
Coupled with extraordinary characteristics, it can be said that if the First Order had not had a strong production capacity, the current life would never be as beautiful as the world knows.
Therefore, the database of related technologies of the Necrons is what the First Order really values, and it does play a complementary role.
Now that the application of non-subspace transition technology has been very effective, the countdown to unemployment in the Astrohall Hall has basically entered.
Correspondingly, without the need for so much soul fuel, the work of the Silent Sisters has become less onerous, or less important.
Some people would say that it is important for the Sisters of Silence to collect fuel for the Astrohall, but it is also very important to search for psykers and bring them under official control as much as possible.
That's right, but Kane also mentioned this point in this conversation. Even if it is the same sentence, it still hits the nail on the head.
Kane said this: "Through the way of the Holy Light, making psykers become monks of the Holy Light Sect is also an important project in cooperation with multiple institutions of the empire, and the progress is even faster. I think you probably know this situation."
The Sisters of Silence do know.
After all, their mission process has changed because of it.
If there is any problem with this project, then it is whether the Holy Light Sect will become an event where the imperial authority makes wedding dresses for others after it grows bigger.
However, today, even if this problem is really a problem, there is no way to stop it.
If Shengguang is a dish, then it is the most fragrant dish so far, and it is addictive once you eat it, and you can't give it up.
The Sect of the Holy Light, represented by Kane, has never shown covetousness towards the royal power, or even the religious power.
Nominally, the Sect of the Holy Light is a branch of the state religion, and Kane is the saint conferred by the state religion.
In essence, the Sect of the Holy Light basically only maintains a training system, and the specific work assignments basically follow the arrangements of the state religion.
The state religion believes that which colonial planet, which area, needs people from the Holy Light Sect to solve the problem, then the Holy Light Sect will go.
Their professionalism has been praised, and they have become the best sharp blades in the hands of the state religion and even the empire. With their participation, many thorny issues and old cases were resolved, and basically they were resolved satisfactorily without any future troubles.
In this context, the current empire, even if it knows that the Holy Light Sect is poison, must continue to eat it.
Of course, even if it doesn't help, there are some procedures that should go.
Whether it is the Tribunal, the State Church, the Assassin Court, or the military, all have specialized research institutions to study the influence of the Holy Light on a person. In order to judge to what extent the holy light can control a person, whether it is no problem to reverse black and white.
As it turns out, it doesn't work. Faith cannot be forced. Piety, or apostasy, all originate from the human heart and self-knowledge.
In other words, the Sect of the Holy Light can influence people and change people's cognition through rituals, propaganda and other means, but the Holy Light itself cannot erase a person's old cognition without limitation, and then replace it with a new one.
This conclusion is at least a consolation prize for the big bosses of the empire. To put it bluntly, everyone is fooling people by tricks. Even if the other party has an affair, it is not the kind that does not give others a chance at all. If the current ruling system is really overthrown by the Holy Light Sect, theoretically it can only be said that the skills are inferior to others , Admit the bet and admit defeat.
The bosses have all compromised, and the progress of this project is naturally extremely fast.
Years of decline have made the empire extremely eager for the life-saving soup of holy light, which can be digested as much as it is produced.
Ever since, psykers have become in short supply. After all, their extraordinary talents can make them become clergymen who can cast a large number of sacred spells at once, so as to make better contributions to the great cause of the empire.
So, is the golden signboard of "Holy Light Sect Training" really not stained at all?
In fact, there are.
The evil gods headed by Tzeentch, as well as other members of the Chaos forces, have used various means to corrupt the clergy of the Holy Light Sect, and have succeeded, and there are more than one or two cases.
But it doesn't make much sense.
Because the clergy supervision system of the Holy Light Sect is exceptionally powerful.
The core of faith, to put it bluntly, is a super information processor.
And faith cannot be faked.
So once there is a clergyman defecting, there is data to support it, and it will not help to act again.
It's not that the demons haven't tasted taboo-level methods.
For example, let a rebellious clergyman believe from the bottom of his heart that all his current actions are actually for the good of the Holy Light.
That is, self-deception to the level of fake becoming real.
There is nothing wrong with the idea, the technology is not good, and in terms of soul and belief, Kane is the father, and the evil god can't win even if he tries it himself, which means that he can't pass the inspection and appraisal level with a high refresh rate.
The belief system can also solve those who pretend to be impostors. It is a very simple holy object, but the pretenders cannot activate it anyway, because they cannot produce qualified power of faith.
