Chapter 385 The Secret of the True Name

Boom!

Countless silver tides converged into a torrent, surging towards Terra.

And in the huge spiritual torrent, Calvin was also the most special existence.

His divine soul was like a solid, incompatible with the spiritual tide that was almost gaseous and liquid, emitting an unshakable golden light.

The time scale in the soul was so vague that before he could react, the tide had already reached its original destination.

"Hmm?" Calvin's spirit felt a familiar taste. What appeared in front of him was a huge, hot furnace, and the boundless flames filled his entire vision.

This was certainly not the first time Calvin had met Him, but he looked up at "Him" from an unprecedented perspective.

And "Him" also noticed Calvin's existence. After a slight but extremely loud voice, the dominance of that existence transitioned from white to gold.

And the tentacles of Calvin's soul were gently hit back with a chuckle.

During this process, Calvin personally "watched" the Purifiers being examined by Him one by one, and only one of them could barely withstand His gaze.

Buzz!

The vision and perception returned to reality in the next second. In the center of the ancient castle, the solemn ceremony had come to an end.

The Sword of the Oath shone brightly in the hands of the Supreme Grand Master, and the Purifiers who were illuminated were like being swallowed by lightning.

Their souls became extremely dim after this battle, and only one "lucky guy" became more solid and powerful after withstanding the test.

The Supreme Grand Master's eyes were shining with the light of psychic energy, and he issued an inhuman decree.

This voice echoed in the souls of the Grey Knights, but only Calvin could understand its meaning:

True name granting - extinction.

Calvin understood, especially as a member of this "spiritual torrent", he experienced how the Sword of the Oath "revived" at close range.

While he had a basic concept of the operating mechanism of this holy sword, he also clearly understood the mystery behind the so-called "true name".

"It's still a concept. I should have thought of it earlier!" Calvin thought to himself.

What is a true name?

If it was Calvin yesterday, he might not be able to give an accurate description of this question. But after seeing the resurrection of the Sword of Covenant with his own eyes today, he can already give a roughly correct description.

The true name is the memory and portrayal of sentient beings in the universe. As long as there is a soul in this universe, there will be a corresponding true name that can be traced.

So what is a powerful true name?

It depends on the specific situation. According to Calvin's understanding of the soul, the owner of this true name can be roughly divided into two types according to the source of their own power.

The soul of the former has power far beyond the ordinary and even beyond the power of the demon prince. Their existence itself has a concept or part of the concept.

The power of this type of existence comes from the self, and the so-called true name is nothing more than a manifestation of His existence.

Mastering the true name of this existence is not a threat to Him, and it may even remind Him to attract His attention and even accelerate the spread of His "existence".

The soul of the latter fails to reach the strength of the former. Their power comes from signing a harsh contract with the former, and thus being granted the power of the former to a limited extent.

Just like the relationship between demons and Chaos Gods.

The demons who believe in the gods in the warp are not only countless fragments and projections of their concepts, but also an important part of their symbolic authority of the gods.

From the perspective of demons, the gods are not only the source of power and faith for demons, but also the sustenance of their indestructibility and continuous resurrection from the void.

This is essentially a transaction and a mutually dependent relationship:

Because only the demons who are the apostles of the gods continue to implement His way and justice in the mortal world, His false concepts for reality will be transformed from countless completed tasks into real authority.

This is also a clear relationship of authorization and authorization:

Only His way and justice can truly walk on the earth, and all the creatures who believe in Him can be given by the gods the extraordinary power that exceeds what fate should have.

The same is true for the real name of the Grey Knight.

The only difference is that the direction of their faith and sustenance is in the human world, and limited by the weakness of mortal souls, not everyone is qualified to sign a contract with the Emperor and bear this power.

Yes, unlike the demons who can increase the quality of their souls without limit, the weak souls of humans determine that any existence that can bear the true name is an extremely rare and special individual.

They need to go through cruel selection to narrow the list of suitable people to an acceptable level.

And even these suitable people still need to practice hard and long, and only one person can stand out in a generation.

But this is still not enough, because the authority of the gods is so heavy, and if you want to exercise power on behalf of the gods, you need a stronger soul.

This is the meaning of the Sword of the Oath.

In this process, it is like a sacrificial knife. While guiding the souls of all the chosen ones to the authorized person, it is also a tool for the authorized person to select and promote these souls.

It will weaken the souls of the losers and then strengthen the souls of the winners.

And only after experiencing this kind of internal devouring, the remaining soul can truly become the Emperor's sharpest sword against the warp.

Calvin understood, he understood everything.

The rules of the world dominated by idealistic power are so magical. The so-called secret of the true name was completely revealed to Calvin the moment he understood its essence.

A huge amount of information poured into his brain frantically, and the inscriptions that he had tried his best to decipher in the past, in the moment he understood the essence, all turned into understandable text in his eyes.

The inscriptions that Calvin had pondered and pondered but could not understand, turned into authorization agreements engraved with various treaties at this moment.

And the part of this agreement that belongs to the authorized person also states the traceability of countless details of the authorized soul from birth to death.

According to the records of the Inquisition, those demons who were killed but resurrected again have a reasonable explanation from now on;

The incredible power and legendary achievements of the Emperor's Blades in the Grey Knights, which carry the true name, have turned from myths into reality.

This is a war of faith, a game between gods.

The true name... its essence is a transaction, and its manifestation in the real universe is a premeditated theft.

It is a transgression of the rules of reality by the gods with the help of demons as tentacles.

It is also the intervention and erosion of the real universe by these gods who are destined to be unable to reach the real world, using the demon host as a springboard.

But it is a "legal" existence, because the real universe is not a human, and cannot and will not take the initiative to obtain "its" information.

Unless there are creatures from the real world who grasp this "truth", then according to the rules, the physical universe can "discover" it and curb this almost blatant "cross-border behavior".

This is probably the reason why the demons are afraid of the leakage of their true names, Calvin thought.

Because once the real name is leaked, it means that the contract signed between it and the gods will be intercepted, the power and defects of its essence will be mastered by people, and the power it possesses in the real universe will be countered.

This is also the shackles of the old generation of Grey Knights. They must undergo a personality reorganization before becoming Grey Knights to ensure that their real names will not be traced back by the same means after entering the warp.

Then the question is.

Calvin was quite excited to figure out the principle behind the real name. He couldn't help but extend his thoughts to a larger background:

So what is the essence of this universe? What is the relationship between the physical universe and the warp?

But reason told him that the information he had now was still too little, and it was not enough to make such an in-depth deduction.

And rashly exploring this secret involving the roots of the gods is also an extremely dangerous behavior for him now.

So what's the next best thing? Calvin shifted his attention to the matter at hand.

He knew that the Emperor's situation was not ideal.

The concentration of divine authority may indeed enhance the Emperor's power in the extraordinary realm.

But as a price, the "power of the true name" that He can bestow will also gradually lean towards the concept of revenge over time.

There is no doubt about this, as can be seen from the true names obtained by the Grey Knights.

Going back to the era of 33 thousand years, Calvin could also infer from some legendary deeds of the Grey Knight Purifiers recorded in the data that they also had cases of obtaining the authority of "redemption";

And in the last two thousand years, the Purifiers of all generations have obtained the same power as the one in front of him, with "revenge" as the core.

What about Calvin himself?

It was not until he turned his attention to himself that Calvin realized that he was actually more suitable for this model of power gifting than the Emperor!

He did not have the shackles of the Emperor sitting on the Golden Throne, nor did he need to use the Sword of the Oath as a hub in the middle.

He also has the power of concepts!

Moreover, his divine soul's grasp of concepts is not inferior to that of the Emperor, and his special origin makes him naturally look down on all the power in this universe!

So what is he waiting for? What is he still hesitating about?

You should know that the cracking of the "power of the true name" has always been one of his efforts.

And the sons of Calvin, who master the secrets of those "inscriptions", are more suitable for the transmission and granting of this power, whether in terms of blood or soul synchronization.

He should be excited about the knowledge he has gained today!

Because with the complete cracking of the true name theory, the last obstacle that prevents him from granting power to the sons of Calvin has disappeared.

What awaits him will be a huge increase in the upper limit of the individual power of the legion after the number of legions is no longer a shackle!

But Calvin did not show any signs of excitement.

On the contrary, he was even a little scared.

Because when this last secret was cracked, a problem that he had never paid attention to was also placed in front of him:

With the concepts and authority he now possesses, the only thing he can give to the sons of Calvin is order besides salvation.

The former is easy to say, the gift of redemption will definitely have a great auxiliary effect on the Grey Knights.

At least from the perspective of the pharmacist, the new generation of legion pharmacists will have an extremely powerful weapon in the face of genetic mutation and gene seed pollution.

But what about order? Does he dare to rashly project the power represented by this part of authority into the soul of Calvin's son?

Calvin fell into a deep silence.

Order... it is so fierce, yet so pure and does not allow a trace of impurity.

So much so that Calvin himself, as its host, needed to use this power with extreme caution.

If this power is handed over rashly, then an extremely serious problem will be placed in front of Calvin:

Is the "order" he has now the "order" of mankind or the "order" of the universe?

In other words, if the new generation of Calvin’s sons accept his gift, then are these sons of the “true name” standing in front of him fighting for humanity or for order? ,

For humanity, for the universe. A difference of one word means a thousand miles of error.

The former means that Calvin's legion has since had a group of real "demon hunters" who can independently completely kill creatures in the subspace;

The latter may mean disaster, a kind of massacre of the entire subspace and even the entire human race without distinction between friend and foe under the cold and cruel understanding of order.

“This power must be controlled, and it must not be released rashly before its nature is fully confirmed!

We must find the direction for human beings to coexist with order, otherwise this power can only be a disaster in the hands of others, rather than a weapon against evil. "

In the time after the ceremony, Calvin said goodbye to all the great teachers while making up his mind.

Grand Master Walden seemed to see what was on his mind and left him alone after everyone dispersed.

The two giants walked aimlessly for a long time on the open-air passage of Titan Fortress, until the eternal cold wind of Titan covered their power armor with frost marks.

Calvin tried his best to tell his confusion and doubts to the veterans around him on the road. However, due to the nature of the latter's soul, many secrets involving the gods spontaneously turned into the Titan's endless cold wind after Calvin blurted it out. A wisp of it.

Although the latter could not understand the meaning of Calvin's words, he still provided Calvin with a reluctant suggestion based on his own speculation:

"I don't understand what you mean, but as a veteran, the answer I can give you is very simple - try it, how can it work if you don't try it?

Don't worry about the risks, you have me behind you, you have the battle group, and the emperor is watching you!

Don't miss hope because of hesitation, and don't be afraid because of doubt.

Relax, my child.

Don't push yourself so hard, you're already doing a great job. "

Two in one, please update both chapters together. Kavin is so damn stuck, I won’t ask for votes.

As the comment section says, no matter what, a broken promise is a broken promise.

I don’t look for excuses, so I apologize to everyone here.
