Chapter 846 Accepting the Price of the Essence
After leaving the side of the cloned original and turning into another corner of the corridor, Qin Mo saw a person standing in front of him.
A woman.
Her face and figure have not changed for decades, just like the Lord of Talon himself.
Every time he saw her, Qin Mo would feel in a trance that he had returned to the days when he fought in the Talon Hive.
That was a historical node that made him feel a lot of emotion when he recalled it. At that time, the scale and volume of the wars that Qin Mo participated in were far less huge than they are now. Hundreds of thousands of people could eliminate all the enemies in the hive, but now it is just the smallest intelligence activity in a military operation, which requires the participation of dozens of judges in the Tribunal.
"Are you Vanessa herself or the person whose name is Emperor?"
Vanessa lowered her head, and Qin Mo could not see her face or pupils, the continuous cold and intermittent sentimental expression belonging to the human will of the Emperor, and the iconic pupils with golden light.
Vanessa raised her head.
The golden light in her eyes met Qin Mo's eyes along with her eyes, and the two looked at each other.
What Qin Mo was facing was obviously the human nature of the Emperor.
"Hmm..." The Emperor pondered for a moment, raised his eyes slightly, and seemed to say something, but somehow he lowered his head again, and stopped pondering, remaining silent, as if swallowing the words back.
"In the meeting room, Ryan teased you that you had to show the courage to stand up for humanity and speak your mind. That was the time I agreed with Ryan the most." Qin Mo said.
The Emperor nodded and acquiesced.
"So, do you think the explanation I gave Angron just now was correct?" Qin Mo asked again.
The Emperor was silent for a moment and shook his head: "No, but I don't know what the real answer is."
"I know." Qin Mo raised his hand and stroked his chin, and said in a deep voice, "I always feel that you are very human, and human nature has not only good sides, but also bad sides. For example, you are very partial, and you don't like Angron for no reason."
The Emperor's eyes lit up: "It seems to be true. Sometimes I think, if my parents don't have only me as a child, will they also be like those parents with many children, just hate one of their children for no reason and favor other children. This is human nature."
"Are you an only child?" Qin Mo asked, "I'm still wondering if you have brothers and sisters, and their descendants have continued to this day. Maybe I can use their genes to create a carrier for you like the living metal body of Sanguinius."
Hearing Qin Mo asking if he was an only child, the Emperor recalled his childhood.
He was born in a family in Asia Minor before humans had completely entered the civilized stage.
He has parents and a hateful uncle.
These past events are proof that he is a human being.
"A man and a woman can give birth to a litter of super psychic cubs." The Emperor held his head high and smiled, "When did the human race have such good luck?"
Qin Mo nodded: "Indeed."
The conversation between the two paused here.
Qin Mo didn't really want to hear these idle talks from the Emperor. He didn't want the Emperor to apologize for the previous complaint. He was not so petty. He just wanted the Emperor to say what he wanted to say to others, at least the human will in front of him should be like this.
The Emperor was obviously not so easy to change. He deliberately changed the subject.
Realizing that this problem was not so easy to change, Qin Mo could only cooperate and talk about other things.
And this other thing was more important.
"When I was fighting on Bloom, I thought that the storm was caused by you, the storm that dispersed the blood rain and accelerated the progress of the war." Qin Mo recalled, "But you tell me that it was not you who did it, who could it be?"
The Emperor pondered for a while.
He realized that Qin Mo, a psychic Muggle, really couldn't guess it, so he said directly: "It's Guilliman."
"Who?" Qin Mo was surprised.
"Guilliman." The Emperor repeated, "Why are you surprised? Don't you know that the Primarchs themselves can call upon extremely powerful forces, especially after they accept their own essence?"
Qin Mo pondered for a while and shook his head: "I didn't expect Guilliman's essence to be a storm... No, he can move psychic energy, so will his essence be similar to Magnus, he has extremely powerful psychic talent, but he is unwilling to use it?"
"Not really." The Emperor frowned and shook his head, "If it is a Primarch like Magnus who calls upon the power of his essence, he can extinguish many stars with just a thought, but Guilliman is not strong enough to that extent."
Qin Mo suddenly thought that every Primarch, whether willing or not, can actually call upon psychic energy to a certain extent, which is the talent of creatures like Primarchs.
Guilliman does have psychic powers anyway, as evidenced by his ability to ignite the Emperor's sword. But even if he briefly used the power from his essence to stir up a storm that accelerated the course of the war, it cannot prove that his essence is similar to that of Magnus.
"His psychic power is quite useful, but unfortunately he doesn't want to use it." Qin Mo said, "This time is probably an exception. He always comes to me and says that he feels something in the Eye of Terror attracts him, more than once. It seems that entering the Eye of Terror to fight has affected him."
"He'd better not accept his essence." The Emperor turned and looked at the Macragge's Glory outside the porthole.
Qin Mo looked at the Emperor's back, wondering why.
He thought it was okay not to accept his own essence. Wouldn't it be good to use the power of essence like Lion?
Lion's teleportation ability can be activated passively, but he has not become like Corax, and his personality is getting more and more kind.
Relatively speaking, kind.
Even if Guilliman uses the power from his essence, he probably won't mutate or anything, isn't it a happy ending?
"Subspace knowledge quiz!" The Emperor suddenly turned around and pointed at Qin Mo with both hands, "What is the manifestation of the iconic subspace influence?"
"Becoming extreme." Qin Mo answered.
"Yes, becoming extreme." The Emperor nodded, "I can't reveal Guilliman's essence for the time being, but I can tell you what he will become if his rejection of his essence loosens and something takes advantage of it."
"He will become a ruthless machine."
"Order will be so important in his eyes that it cannot be overstated. Any behavior that is unwilling to follow the order step by step, even if it is just to relieve oneself during the march, will be punished by the anger of this monarch machine."
The Emperor continued.
"One after another, orders that only consider efficiency and order will be given to his descendants or mortals. Those who do not obey his orders will be removed from the war machine he has created."
"Humanity, emotions, these things will be regarded as meaningless burdens. The injured people and damaged objects are all garbage that he thinks must be discarded. He will make humans run like your iron men."
