Chapter 395 19 Open the Eyes of Fenus

Chapter 395 1.9 Open the Eyes of Fenus

Hades originally had no expectations for this meeting.

The original body has a weird temper, and Hades's move of inviting him to board the ship of the Order of Silence in order to detect the loyalty of the opponent was "slightly" rude. Even before Faenus responded to the Order of Silence, Hades was unsure whether the Primarch would accept his invitation.

So when Faenus readily accepted Hades' invitation, Hades was very moved.

And when Fernus said that there was no need to be polite, Hades thought it was appropriate to award Fernus a Touching Empire Award.

Time is running out, and the sooner you arrive at the Eye of Terror to find out the truth, the better, but it is also very necessary to gain the trust of the cooperative legions. There are almost very few Primarchs like Fernus who are willing to trust them as long as they present the facts and truth.

Logically, the minds of the two science and engineering talents matched up. The next thing Hades needed to worry about was how to get the Iron Hands warriors to adapt to fighting subspace creatures in advance.

but……

What did Feinus mean by what he just said?

Hades looked at Faenus with a slight hesitation, and as if aware of Hades' confusion, Faenus, who was suddenly immersed in memories, spoke directly. He stared at Hades,

[I have had some conversations with the Lord of Death...]

Feinus frowned slightly and carefully considered his words.

[Matters related to subspace. 】

Faenus realized that Hades was staring at him blankly, but then Hades spoke,

"What do you see, Faenus?"

Hades asked without hesitation,

"Mortarion does not reveal information to the uninitiated without reason...unless you see something."

Faenus's brows were almost forming a hill. He stared at Hades, seeming to assess whether Hades could know these things.

After a brief silence, Faenus made his choice. The Lord of Medusa shook his head slightly, and he looked away,

[Mortarion trusts you, and I trust Mortarion. 】

[I hope you are worthy of this trust, Hades, although I am confused by your existence. 】

Hades opened his hand. Fernus was different from other original bodies. Fernus had personally said that he was the emperor's tool. In terms of his positioning and understanding, perhaps Fernus and Hades were different. have something in common,

"I am responsible for humanity and the Empire, Fainus. All my activities are based on preserving humanity as much as possible, and according to my current position, I will do my best to prevent the subspace from invading the physical world - even if it is Mo Talion, if he stands in the way of humanity's future..."

Hades paused, his tone became lighter,

"But that's why Mortarion trusts me."

Feinus smiled with his tight lips, but soon he returned to his tense state,

[It seems that our cooperation will go smoothly, Hades. 】

Feinus swallowed briefly. As expected, he saw the red light in Hades's left eye flashing, but his calm voice still trembled slightly.

[I saw a being similar to Fulgrim. 】

Feinus used his peripheral vision to peek at Hades's expression. It was beyond his expectation, but it seemed to be reasonable. Hades did not react much.

[…You don’t look surprised. 】

Hades sighed and shook his head slightly.

"You already know this in advance, Fainus. Then it will be much easier for me to explain to you other things that may happen."

Thanks to Mortarion, Hades thought. At the same time, he was also thinking about how to tell Fenus. Regarding Fenus' science popularization, he originally planned to start with the subspace, but it seems that Fenus made up for the lesson in advance and has already Skip to the mutiny part.

Feinus was silent for a long time. Finally, his tense cheeks moved,

[What else might happen? 】

Hades blinked,

"Excuse me."

The next moment, Feinus felt that the powerlessness he felt when he first boarded the ship reappeared. At first, this powerlessness became stronger and stronger as he went deeper into the ship, but when he arrived at the strategy room, this feeling This feeling disappeared suddenly.

But now, they are sweeping over again, like a thick, dark ocean.

Fenus took a shallow breath,

[Is this your ability? 】

"Yes, it can offset part of the impact of subspace on the physical world."

Hades said as he motioned to the servitor to bring chairs and water.

"It looks like this conversation is going to take a little longer,"

But it’s no longer a waste of time. When Fernus said he was happy to cooperate, Hades received permission from the Lord of Medusa. Under Hades’s calculations, now the Iron Hands and Silent Xiu The meeting's fleet is reorganizing its defense queue and preparing to continue sailing.

Hades said as he handed Faenus a glass of water and smiled after seeing Faenus glance cautiously at the liquid inside.

"I assume you've tasted the Death Guard's poisoned wine?"

Faenus sat down, took a sip of water from his cup,

【Unforgettable drink. 】

he commented politely.

Hades sat down, his eyes staring brightly at Fainus,

"We both like to go straight, Fainus, I need to know where your acceptance line is."

Hades watched Fernus start to drink water again. The original body needed some time to judge his mental state. Of course, Hades had to give him this gap. While Fernus drank water, Hades Si was chattering as if chatting.

"The first person to know these things was Mortarion... He was really frightened at the time. Don't tell Mortarion what I said! But I think there is probably no one who would not feel panic and despair in the face of these things. , I was in despair for a long time,”

"But it's also easy to accept these things,"

Hades paused;

"You just need to realize that this world is not as glorious as the empire advertises. Malice in this world is everywhere. If you don't feel that your life is being oppressed - then you probably haven't seen the strings tied around your neck. That line on."

"Well..." Hades was silent for a moment, "Then the God of Death became that indifferent look, because he was always on guard."

【I understand him. 】

Faenus spoke;

[Hades, I can accept the death of brothers, regional rebellion, and the existence of violations of the truth of the empire. 】

He looked at Hades and smiled. In a similar scene, Faenus vaguely remembered the scene when he was drunk by Mortarion. His fingers holding the cup twitched uncontrollably, thanking him for this. is water.

Hades took a deep breath,

"That's easy."

Hades said,

"Let me start with the battle we are going to face this time. Fainus, we are now going to the Eye of Terror, which is Cygnus-X1. This star field is a state where subspace and the physical world are stacked. This means Subspace creatures can appear in this star field more easily."

"Subspace creatures are not like ordinary enemies. It is not just gunpowder, guns, and sword battles. In their fields, emotions and hearts will also be the battlefield. Specific emotions will provide strength for specific subspace creatures. , and if a person's mind is defeated in the battle with them, then this person will be more likely to undergo mutations - he will become a tool and slave of the subspace creatures. "

Hades glanced at Feinus, and it seemed that he accepted it well, but the fact that there are creatures in the subspace violated the truth of the empire.

Hades continued,

"There are also strong and weak subspace creatures, and the strongest among them..."

Hades paused;

"At least better than the Emperor you know now, and there is more than one such existence in the subspace."

Feinus's concise voice sounded,

[It is acceptable, there are also beings on the battlefield in Ullanor that my father cannot match. 】

Hades howled inwardly, silly boy, your father is acting!

In order to let Fainus understand more deeply what they were facing, Hades hesitated for a moment and finally chose to speak,

"My description is still not very accurate. What I mean is that these powerful subspace creatures are closer to the concept of [gods] in people's mouth."

"and……"

Hades said slowly,

"Actually, except for the Silent Order and the Death Guard who choose standardized terms, most people who see subspace creatures will directly choose to name them [demons]. Now do you understand what I mean?"

Faenus Manus was motionless, like an iron sculpture, but Hades watched helplessly as a drop of sweat flowed down from Faenus' head.

Fainus knew that what Hades meant was that in order to avoid panic, the official term was subspace creatures, but the truth was...

Hades coughed awkwardly,

"How are you?"

He asked tentatively,

"If you need any help... While I don't recommend drinking at this time, I have a few bottles of Mortarion's poisonous wine in my personal stash, if you need it-"

[No, I don’t need to. 】

Faenus immediately interrupted Hades, as if he didn't want to recall the unpleasant past.

[What is the truth of the empire? 】

Faenus asked,

"Just now I said that specific emotions and minds will provide strength to subspace creatures. In fact, even if they are not in a war zone, every moment, every minute, the emotions generated by creatures connected to subspace are providing them with strength. strength."

Hades saw that Fernus was almost stagnant, even breathing had stopped. The long-term pain was worse than the short-term pain. Hades decided to finish it in one breath,

"Knowing the existence of creatures in the subspace and actively trying to provide them with power is completely different from ignorance. The Emperor hopes to make all humans believe that there are no creatures in the subspace - this spiritual power will also exist in the subspace. Produce an impact and play a role in weakening subspace creatures."

Hades smiled bitterly,

"There is no need to panic. Thanks to the laws of this world, subspace creatures cannot easily pass through the curtain between subspace and the physical universe and disrupt the physical universe."

Only then did Fenus sigh slightly, and the Lord of Medusa said softly,

[If it’s what you say...I understand why...]

Hades was stunned;

"What do you understand?"

[Why... why do I see Fulgrim like that? What happened to him... If there really is a subspace creature that plays with the mind and is stronger than my father. 】

Feinus took a sip of water thoughtfully.

[Previously, Mortarion only reminded me that our brothers might become monsters, and warned me to be careful about the subspace, but he did not explain the details and principles clearly. 】

Hades smiled, and he thought in his mind that Mortarion had already succeeded in popularizing numerology without telling you, so he couldn't force him like this.

Although Hades thought so in his heart, he did not say so. Hades said quite smoothly,

"He is on guard against the existence of subspace. Intense emotions and specific words will attract their attention, so he cannot speak too clearly."

"But not here,"

Hades said easily,

"I am a soulless one. Where the veil is thicker, I can block them. This is why we can make it clear here - except of course the words with the highest intensity in the subspace."

Faenus paused for a moment;

[Besides the Soulless, are there any other ways to avoid the influence of subspace? The Iron Hands Legion has collar technology that restrains psykers. 】

He looked at Hades and his eyes lit up. The Lord of the Silent Order leaned forward.

"It depends on its internal principle, but I think you can't have too much expectation on this matter. At present, except for soulless people and black stone technology, there is no more efficient method."

Hades reached out and nodded his head,

"For creatures with souls, the best way to resist subspace is to have a firm soul."

Feinus let out a long sigh,

[I can do it, and so can he. 】

Of course Hades knew who he was in Faenus's mouth. In response, Hades responded with a polite smile.

However, Hades does need to confirm Fulgrim's situation. After all, the Emperor's Children are a legion relatively close to here.

"After you talked to Mortarion before, did you go and warn Fulgrim?"

Hades asked,

Fernus spoke, with some hesitation in his words.

[Of course I talked to him... I advised him to be wary of subspace and not to pursue perfection so much... I advised him to use less ornaments that only have decorative functions, and he was a little disappointed with me. 】

Hades almost choked and bled. He could understand the front, but what the hell was behind?

Because Hades was so confused by Fainus' behavior, he had to ask more,

"...Why did you advise him not to bring any decorations?"

[Because I’ve seen that fake, it’s very——]

Hades raised his hand,

"Ok, I see."

"It is right to advise him to stay away from the subspace and not pursue extreme perfection, Faenus. Extreme emotions will breed the creatures of the subspace."

Feinus was silent for a moment,

[I will give Fulgrim another piece of advice. 】

"now?"

Hades said,

"I need to remind you that the subspace is very unstable now, and the information you transmit to him using the Astropath is likely to be lost, or worse, distorted."

【so what should I do now? 】

Fenus asked stiffly,

Hades sighed,

"believe him."

Hades spread his hands,

"It's the only thing you can do."

He stared sincerely at Faenus,

"Every Primarch can fall. The only thing I can guarantee is that the Primarch I follow will not be affected by the Warp. You see-"

Hades waved his hand casually, and the command board covering the entire wall was instantly filled with data.

Fainus opened his eyes wide,

"In this plan for the fall of the Order of Silence,"

Hades said lightly,

"There's also a share of the Death Guard."

"but……"

Hades said that Fernus saw two red-marked documents, one for the Iron Hands and one for the Iron Warriors. Hades waved his hand, and the red-marked documents for the Iron Hands were cancelled.

"Now it's time for us to focus on the Fourth Legion."

[...Perturabo. 】

Fainus breathed out the name softly.
