Chapter 985 An Empire Plagued by Internal and External Troubles!

Not only that, what made Paul even more anxious was that he had no way of predicting when and why this terrible god would suddenly break out of his cocoon, and what kind of disaster it would bring.

Paul only knew that the concept represented by Khorne was war, and its authority was: the god of harvest, courage and martial arts.

According to Nurgle's nature of spreading plagues and hatching planets in secret, this blood god might not be an honest master.

Faced with such a potential huge threat, Paul racked his brains to think about how to deal with it.

Paul even had the idea of ​​taking the lead to eliminate this existence that could not see the future at all.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. Just when he was about to take action, Nurgle had already carried a small gardener's shovel and blocked the "doorstep" of the blood god Khorne with a fierce momentum.

The god who can predict the future is not only the Lord of Change, Nurgle can also see the future, but he can't see farther than him, but for Nurgle who loves his brother, it is enough to take good care of his brother.

Nurgle swung his shovel mercilessly and hit him hard. At that moment, Paul felt a force as overwhelming as a tidal wave. If he hadn't reacted quickly and dodged in time, his face would have been beaten into a meat pie.

In fact, it was not difficult for Paul to understand the reason. After all, the Blood God Khorne and Nurgle were both conceptual gods born from the warp, and there was a close relationship between the two like brothers.

In comparison, Paul was just an ordinary mortal who climbed up through the ascension ceremony of life and death.

In the face of such a close relationship, Paul naturally could not be compared with the intimacy between Nurgle and Khorne.

Therefore, although his heart was full of reluctance and helplessness, Paul could only helplessly watch the Blood God Khorne continuously absorb the nutrients carefully created by the Fremen, and move towards complete hatching step by step.

Maybe this is the so-called hypocrisy of a bitch!

When he was lucky enough to glimpse the future, his heart was filled with a fervent desire for change and the unknown;

However, once he lost those eyes that saw the unknown, he was completely wrapped in extreme anxiety and panic, and felt uncomfortable as if the end of the world was coming.

…

…

Khorne was constantly hatching under the nourishment of war,

The Fremen also unswervingly held high the banner of Muad'Dib, like a violent torrent, rampaging in the vast universe.

Anyone who dared to blaspheme or question Muad'Dib's authority would not escape the fate of being ruthlessly slaughtered and executed.

Although Paul is now a god, he is actually just a puppet of various forces.

Faced with such a chaotic and out-of-control situation, even if he has the ability to see through the sky and the earth, he is helpless and powerless to turn the tide.

Once, Paul had the heart to retreat, dreaming of finding a planet without disturbance with his beloved Chini from now on, and spending the last peaceful and peaceful days.

However, the cruel reality was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head. Even if he chose to disappear, the fanatical worship of him in the universe would not diminish in the slightest. In fact, the backlash caused by this sudden disappearance would probably be even more terrifying.

For example, the Atreides family behind him, his beloved family members, and those respectable and lovable friends who had fought side by side with him, would most likely suffer a catastrophe because of his departure.

Paul himself knew very well in his heart that since he embarked on this long-lasting holy war, he was like being firmly nailed to the slide of this road of time, and he was involuntarily rushing all the way.

No matter what kind of ending was waiting for him in the future, it would entangle him like a ghost, making it difficult for him to get rid of it forever.

In addition, what really made him feel exhausted were the many powerful forces that he had personally expelled from the core of power, both in the past and in the present.

Although these former opponents have temporarily stopped fighting, who can guarantee that they will not wait in the dark for an opportunity to strike him a fatal blow?

Yes, no matter how strong, supreme, and inviolable you are, it is difficult to avoid the covetousness of those with ill intentions.

These people are greedily watching, they are eager to get Paul's power, want to possess Paul's wealth, and even worse, they even try to take Paul's life.

Among this group of people who are eyeing him covetously, the most prominent are the Space Guild and the Sisterhood, two huge organizations that have experienced the baptism of tens of thousands of years.

Since the Corino royal family began to rule the entire universe, the Space Guild has been active in the open, while the Sisterhood has been hidden in the dark. The two cooperate with each other tacitly, like a pair of invisible giant hands, tightly controlling every move of the royal family.

Whether it is the formulation of major decisions, the flow and allocation of the empire's financial funds, or the marriage and childbearing of royal family members, they are all secretly manipulated by these two organizations.

However, Paul's sudden appearance completely broke this established rule.

He first expelled the sisterhood and ruthlessly drove them back to the planet of Valach 9, a desolate place covered by ice and severe cold all year round.

Not only that, Paul also firmly controlled the source of spices, taking away most of the shares and profits of the Space Guild in one fell swoop.

He even obeyed the wishes of the Fremen and uprooted the Space Guild's office in Arax.

Just because, in the traditional concept of the Fremen, the former Space Guild had brought them endless killing, chaos and pain, causing the entire Araxes to fall into dire straits.

Are they really convinced?

The answer is no!

In the twelfth year after Paul became emperor, this rebellious mood has reached its peak.

Now is what they think is the best time. Of course, they don’t want to put Paul to death directly, nor do they want to pull him down from the high altar, but to completely control him and make him completely obey themselves.

This kind of control is similar to the past, but not exactly the same.

So on the afternoon of the cold wind on the planet Valach IX, of course, this planet has always been cold.

The four conspirators secretly held a crucial briefing meeting.

Among the four conspirators, the first to bear the brunt is naturally the initiator of this parliament, the "previous mother" of the sisterhood, Gaius Helen Moshiam.

Although Helen was mercilessly pointed at and cursed by Paul twelve years ago, this Madonna is still shamelessly alive to this day.
