Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 83 Condensation and Stealing

The torrent of the Milky Way continues to pour, but the flood will eventually end.

In the idealistic spiritual world, everything has absolute symbolic meaning.

Since this external disaster finally chose torrents and rainstorms as its form, just like the story of Noah's Ark, seven days and seven nights will be the full power of his power.

And this also happens to correspond to the holy number of the god who has both life and corruption.

Is it really a coincidence? Or is his essence always a disaster?

No one can tell clearly, and no one dares to explore.

After all, that person existed before the human race appeared.

And the stories about him have extraordinary power because of his holy name.

All mortals who dare to explore have died of disease and pollution under his boundless power when they opened the first page of the book with his true name without knowing whether to live or die.

The name of God cannot be said, and the gods cannot explore.

They may still have a long way to go before they are truly omniscient and omnipotent.

But if you take the initiative to mention His name, or explore within the scope of His power.

That is no different from offering your soul to Him with both hands.

When you have no choice, using some special names to refer to them is the safest way for those who are truly involved in these things related to gods.

This is the bloody lesson that humans have learned after trying to cross the boundary between humans and gods countless times with their weak but tough mortal bodies for tens of thousands of years.

Not only mortals, but even some beings who have obtained some extraordinary gifts due to accidental factors are no exception.

In the eyes of the Chaos Gods, who are detached and span the long river of time, a little bit of extraordinary is nothing more than the difference between cockroaches in the north and cockroaches in the south.

Whether you are bigger or smaller, it doesn't stop them from crushing you to pieces.

Only by thoroughly finding your own subspace essence can you have the qualifications to hide from these terrifying beings, instead of fighting a sacred battle.

Fighting is a word that is only suitable for gods and gods.

Perhaps from a personal perspective, the word fighting can be barely matched from the perspective of the entire human race and civilization, but it is only barely.

So compared to fighting, in the eyes of the very few beings in the entire empire who truly understand the relationship between chaos and humans, using the word "struggle" to describe the relationship between humans and the Chaos Gods is obviously more appropriate and proper.

Have you ever caught a mouse? I have.

When you force a mouse into a corner, the mouse, knowing that its death is approaching, will also be horrified and stare.

It will use all the strength in its tiny body to shout at you angrily.

At that moment, you will inevitably be frightened by the hideousness brought by the opponent's desire to survive when you face the opponent's wild impact, but this will not affect you from coming back to your senses and strangling it with a mop in your hand.

And this is no different from the resistance of humans against evil gods.

Calvin's existence is probably something like the cry of humans in this originally desperate game.

But fortunately, his essence is not a mouse, or he is a passing monster who is mistakenly recognized as a mouse because he looks like a mouse and thinks he is a mouse.

This is the luck of mankind, and it is also the cognitive limitation of the Chaos Gods.

After all, you can't ask Truman to understand the existence outside his world.

But in any case, when Calvin entered this world under countless coincidences and joined the human race with the permission of the Emperor, the originally dark future of this race finally had a little dawn.

The essence of the soul is the foundation of transcending the mundane.

Calvin, who has completed the concept of self-unification in many timelines, naturally meets this condition that isolates most people.

Power is the real bargaining chip and weapon that can affect the result.

And now, it is a critical moment for Calvin to truly obtain, or steal, the authority that originally belonged to the gods.

Countless souls who were redeemed and liberated by him prayed for his name in the promised land in Calvin's spiritual world.

And the power of these prayers, which eventually gathered into the power of faith, also accelerated the growth of the concept of salvation in his hands and the condensation of the final authority.

Because Calvin's behavior was actually practicing the righteousness called "salvation", and the faith he gained was just a surprise that came with it.

Calvin's attitude towards the power of faith was extremely cautious.

This was directly related to the current situation of two cores in the cold sun that he had witnessed when he first came to this universe.

It is necessary to emphasize again that in this idealistic world, in addition to reality, the subspace and the personal spiritual world exist in it with strict symbolic meanings.

So, what do the two cores of the sun symbolize?

It is two different wills, or two visions that cannot coexist. Or even more seriously, it is possible that the soul itself has two cores.

The sun with two cores in Calvin's perspective, the golden core is obviously its original owner;

The other white core seemed to be unknown to Calvin at the time, and he did not understand its meaning at the time.

But at this moment, when he saw with his own eyes the colorful power of faith coming together from different souls.

When he witnessed these beliefs finally coming together from their different colors like a reverse prism into the pure white that is the sum of all colors.

He understood everything.

It turned out that the seemingly pure white that Calvin saw at the beginning, what kind of complex wishes and desires were hidden in it!

All this seemed reasonable after he was reborn in the empire and knew the existence of the "state religion".

After all, the second core of the sun was born to carry the wishes of the trillions of people in the entire empire for that one.

Unfortunately, in some real historical records that Calvin knew, the existence of this wish itself was what the emperor who had always pursued the rationality of the entire human race and rejected divinity did not want to see.

The emperor never thought of becoming a divine emperor.

So, the bad consequences came about.

When the power of faith that you accept or have to accept deviates from your own spiritual will.

What should you do?

In Calvin's opinion, the best way is to reject or destroy the source of this kind of faith power in the first place.

But the popularity of the "state religion" happened after the Emperor was seriously injured and trapped on the throne.

The troubles that were easily solved by the Emperor are now truly beyond his reach.

The Emperor is immortal, so Calvin never doubted whether the Emperor could recover when he or someone else was able to replace the Emperor to sit at the entrance of the webway that was on the verge of collapse.

The Emperor would definitely recover if someone could get a little breathing space for Him.

But after eight thousand years of accumulation of faith, is the dominant will of the sun still the original noble soul?

And if one day the Emperor can stand up from the throne again, is the heavy and majestic body the Emperor himself?

Or is it the existence that is purely built by faith and has no trace of humanity?

Calvin really didn't dare to think about the answer to the question caused by the current situation that only Calvin knew.

He was afraid of the answer he didn't want to accept.

He also hoped that the existence of the greatest miracle of mankind could create a new miracle again.

The lesson of the past was right in front of him, and those who came later dared not forget it.

Therefore, when Calvin himself had to face such a problem, he was not surprised by the power of these gifts at the first time.

Because he had deeply understood from the dilemma of the emperor that when something was marked as free, fate had usually marked it with a more expensive price.

Back to Calvin himself, he had to think about three questions:

Are the powers of faith generated by salvation in front of him consistent with Calvin's own will?

Or, can their desire to pray itself be satisfied by Calvin?

Is the vision generated by their huge collective will really consistent with Calvin's long-term vision?

Calvin looked carefully at the faith gathered in front of him, and he had to listen to and distinguish every prayer in it.

The necessity of the divine soul is revealed again. Only in this way can the essence of the extraordinary soul withstand these forces without being crushed, and try to listen to and respond to these prayers one by one.

And the path of exploration of faith by ordinary people has no way forward at this point.

Because one step further, the soul will be crushed and torn by the power of countless prayers and finally fall into the abyss of madness.

The final madness of the Supreme Lord Vankorich, who combined politics and religion and monopolized power in Calvin's reading records, is likely to be inseparable from it.

The divine soul's ability to sort out the received prayers is also different, but Calvin's group will is naturally good at this.

The first question: Is the soul's prayer consistent with Calvin:

For these souls that have become incomplete under the devouring, being able to have a destination in the promised land is the best result for them.

In their prayers, there is nothing else except gratitude and the desire to sing Calvin's holy name, so the first problem was easily passed by Calvin.

The second question: Can Calvin meet their needs?

You know, most gods fall from broken promises.

They cannot fulfill the promise they made to every believer that they will go to heaven after death, because this is the privilege of a few pious people.

When they break their promise to mortals, the faith they collected in advance becomes a debt contract that demands death.

Calvin does not have such distress, because those who exist in his spiritual kingdom are already dead, and they have indeed been led here.

So the second question is no longer a problem.

As for the third question, Calvin no longer needs to think about it, because the vision of these souls is the meaning of salvation itself.

The righteousness he is doing now is the vision they long for.

At this point, Calvin has no doubts.

He finally opened his soul and accepted these people of faith and the spirits of prayer that belonged only to him.

The power of faith gathered in him, and finally found his own place in the crown on his forehead.

The flame of order seemed to have a better burning power under the blessing of faith.

And a more complete redemption directly skipped the process of transformation and tended directly to the condensation of authority.

"Ka... Ka... Ka..."

The sound of something breaking seemed to come from the void, and it seemed to be accompanied by the angry shouts of some existence.

But it no longer mattered.

Under the wind and cloud of many factors, Calvin finally took advantage of these opportunities that originally endangered his life and existence, and tore off a small piece of the authority that originally belonged to the gods.

Redemption, salvation and redemption.

There is hope in it, and there are also concepts of transformation and the gift of life.

When Calvin's behavior thoroughly and completely practiced the "righteousness" of redemption in the real universe, this originally non-existent authority naturally broke away from the different authorities in the hands of the gods and gathered in Calvin's hands.

In the real world, the waves of the subspace around the Soul Redeemer had already begun to calm down.

And at the moment when Calvin's authority took shape, greater power fluctuations began to rage around them.

The power and energy pipelines of the entire ship began to become unstable under the strong fluctuations of the subspace storm.

The lights in the corridors inside the hull began to flicker, and the squeaking Geiger counters were also reminding the crew on the entire ship how critical their situation was at this time.

This is the anger of the evil god!

This is even more the anger of the gods!

Because at this moment, the authority of more than one god was stolen!

But this is also the anger of incompetence.

Because from the beginning of the timeline, the gods had never observed the existence of Calvin.

So the angry gods never cast their doubts on the real world.

After not finding any traces in the river of time at the first time, the two victims among the four gods had already locked their scrutiny on the other two.

It is impossible to admit it. My great Shalish has his own national conditions;

Explanation is even more impossible. When has the Lord of the Skull ever had the obligation to explain to people?

So, the only thing left is to start the eternal holy war again.

Anyway, there have been enough reasons to fight for countless epochs, so this one is really not a big deal...

The eternal and sacred war started again, and the evil gods who were focused on the group melee and even prepared to go down in person naturally had no intention of maintaining the large-scale subspace wave before.

Severe tests are like this, coming suddenly and leaving without warning.

In the depths of the subspace, this small fleet with the Soul Redeemer as the flagship was still sailing quietly after the storm.

They finally survived this test and continued to sail towards the mother planet Titan with the Grey Knights and mortal crew members.

At this time, Calvin, who had just solved the troubles in his spiritual world, also explained some things to his comrades in a short awakening, and fell into sleep again because of the arrival of a new growth period.

Ah, I have something to do during the day. So I updated it earlier. Then I will take a day off and try to write another chapter in the evening.
