Chapter 18 18, Awakening of the Essence

"I'm sorry to tell you that I'm not a hero, and humans never need a savior!"

"Today, the survival of the Empire every day is based on the sacrifice of countless loyal soldiers."

Everyone in the square looked at each other. In their minds, the Emperor and the Primarch were the symbols of invincibility and the end of all nightmares.

But the Primarch personally denied his own ability, which made everyone confused and bewildered.

Dukel just continued to talk to himself,

"I have witnessed the loyalty and courage of soldiers countless times on the battlefield. They stubbornly resisted in the deadly poison gas and launched a charge in the dense artillery shells. On the battlefield, they lost their companions, brothers, lives, and everything they could lose. But they never hesitated because of this. Whenever war comes, they will still dedicate everything they have, just for the glory of the Empire to last forever."

Dukel's voice gradually became high, and the majestic spiritual energy vibrated recklessly. As he spoke, it seemed that everyone saw with their own eyes that on the battlefields of various lost worlds, the soldiers charged fearlessly.

Even the most determined warriors were reminded of the memories deep in their hearts, and their eyes were red as they stared at the Primarch on the platform.

It had been too long since anyone spoke for them like this.

Ten thousand years after the departure of the Empire and the Primarch, the gradually decaying Empire no longer regarded the warriors as heroes.

The glory of the past was gone.

The nobles and lords even regarded their lives as sacrificial data. The eyes of these high-ranking officials who held power were full of indifference and contempt when they looked at them.

"The survival of the Empire is not only the credit of the Emperor and the Primarch, but also the honor of these soldiers who have dedicated everything. However, there are always people who want to occupy their property and snatch the pensions they have exchanged for their lives into their own hands."

The little girl was escorted to the platform by the battle sisters.

The many eyes from the audience made her hide behind Duker uncomfortably.

This move made countless people jealous. It was such an honor to be able to stand behind the Primarch and reach out to touch the great Primarch.

This should be a courtesy that only the most noble mortals can enjoy.

But it was easily obtained by a thin girl.

But Duker ignored these and introduced to everyone,

"The father of this child is a soldier of the Planetary Defense Force. I feel sad about her experience. The soldiers of the Empire give everything for the citizens, but they are squeezed by the corrupt power and have no place to live. How ridiculous it is."

"From today on, if there is a similar incident, it will be severely punished. No matter who it is, no matter what power they hold, I will wipe them out!"

Duker's words echoed with cold murderous intent, making everyone feel the trembling from the bottom of their hearts.

Countless dignitaries showed horror on their faces. The son of the emperor has proved with his actions that he is serious.

This scene was recorded by countless people and will be spread to all the worlds that can be spread in the future.

Today, when the Emperor sits on the Golden Throne, the Primarch is the Emperor's agent, and his words have absolute weight.

At this moment, Sister Efilar and countless battle sisters saluted the Primarch to express the highest respect.

"Praise the Emperor, praise humanity!"

The Astra Militarum and the Space Marines knelt on one knee and expressed their loyalty to Duker with sobs.

"Praise the Emperor, praise humanity!"

This move made the people in the square follow suit.

Today, when the empire is declining, Duker's iron-blooded behavior not only did not make him lose the hearts of the people, but also dispelled everyone's anxiety.

"Praise the Emperor, praise humanity!"

"Praise the Emperor, praise humanity!"

The huge sound waves surged over the square and gradually became extremely uniform.

Under Duker's intentional guidance, this will formed an extremely terrible energy and forged an extremely pure belief.

[Absorbing human beliefs for the host to enhance]

The voice of the system appeared again after a long absence.

With extremely crazy power, it quickly absorbed and transformed these fanatical beliefs.

At this moment, the square has completely become a place where human emotions and passions burst out.

This is not the first time that Duker has received a system prompt.

It is not the first time he has been in such a scene.

But this time, the feeling is completely different from before.

In his eyes, the entire real world seemed to be silent in the tremor, and everything gradually became slow until it was completely solidified.

An indescribable atmosphere permeated around him.

He felt an unbearable itch for no reason at the center of his eyebrows.

Then,

"Puff--"

A single eye opened at Dukel's brow, staring straight at the unpredictable sky.

At this moment, in his eyes, the boundary between the subspace and the real universe was no longer clear.

The five senses of vision, hearing, touch, etc. were all integrated at this moment.

Countless magnificent and magical scenes emerged in his field of vision.

In the end, he saw, heard, touched, and smelled very clearly

The huge monster hidden in the depths of the boundless subspace, which was unfathomable and unimaginable to mortals.

It was a giant composed of countless flame wheels, like a wheel within a wheel.

The boundary of each wheel was hung with countless tentacles made of faith, rotating and transforming with extremely high efficiency.

The surface of the wheel is covered with eyes, and each eye has an independent will.

There are a total of 9,632 of these eyes.

This was not something Duker counted down one by one, nor was it something he sensed using his extraordinary abilities.

Instead, the number of members of the Heart Network is currently 9,632.

In the center of the countless flame wheels, there is an extremely huge eyeball.

The immeasurable majestic spiritual energy merges into the sight of the eyeball, and everything it looks at in the subspace is decomposed one by one.

Duker and the giant looked at each other, and the distance between them became closer and closer as they looked at each other.

As he got closer, he felt extremely itchy all over his body.

Eyeballs opened one after another inside the power armor.

With each additional eyeball, he can see the nature of the world more clearly.

Endless knowledge was poured into his mind, but mixed with this knowledge were endless negative and extreme emotions.

Gradually, Duker's eyes became filled with scarlet bloodshot eyes.

Under the wash of a large number of negative and extreme emotions, he felt that he was out of control, and he had the tyranny of wanting to completely destroy everything.

Entering the level of spiritual cultivation method.

The heart network mobilizes the spiritual energy of all members with great power.

This process seemed to be deadlocked for a long time, and it seemed to only last for a moment.

The eyeballs closed one after another.

In the end, even the huge one-eye on Dukel's forehead was completely closed, leaving no gaps.

Many strange phenomena disappeared, as if they had never happened before.

"Praise the Emperor, praise humanity!——"

The cheers of the people flooded into the ears of the original body again.

It was as if everything was an illusion, and no one discovered the abnormality that the original body had experienced before.

The members of the Heart Network all felt their eyes darken, and then obvious fatigue surged in their hearts. However, these determined warriors only thought that it was caused by being too excited.

Only Dukel,

At this moment, his heart was wrapped in huge questions.

It was difficult for others to understand the huge thing that they couldn't look directly at.

But it is easy to see through his eyes.

It is like countless flame wheels, a wheel within a wheel, a delicate structure that rotates at high speed——

It is the absorption and transformation of efficient work.

is his essence.

Yes. System!

"Is this my essence?"

"My essence is absorption and transformation. Is it a system? Is it a heart network server?"

"I am the server, what is the system?"

One doubt after another appeared in Duker's mind.
