Chapter 78: Aftersound and Return
The cancer of eternity is dead. It died because of Calvin's interruption of its destined ritual and the plunder of its life essence.
The former destroyed its path, making it impossible for it to ascend to the devil forever;
The latter took away its foundation for existence in the world on the basis of cutting off its way forward.
It does not belong to those disasters that have existed since ancient times.
Among the countless descendants of the Lord of Life, it is just an accidental product of a whim in a chess game of a short hundred years in His endless life.
There is no basis for its existence in the subspace, and the anchor point of its real existence was taken away by Calvin.
It has no chance to come again, and can only disappear forever in the long river of fate.
The sore of the world, or Hailan, is also dead. Died of the liberation after all the obsessions of life were completed one by one.
He initially changed from a human to a devil because he had the unique obsession of revenge in the human heart.
It finally changed from a devil to a human again because he relied on the obsession of the human heart to maintain a trace of self-existence from beginning to end.
The benevolent father's gift to him allowed him to avenge his great revenge, and Calvin's destruction of the eternal cancer freed him from all worries.
As a human, he failed.
His hesitation, his weakness, and his inability led the entire hive to fall into this disaster, and he owed it to all the people of the hive.
As a demon, he also failed.
As a person who was blessed by the benevolent father, he owed the benevolent father who had mercy on him and responded to his prayers in his distress a process and result of exercising His righteousness.
But fortunately, as a human, he finally returned his hatred to the perpetrators one by one;
As a demon, it seems that the benevolent father, who has always been great and generous, never cared that there must be a return for his efforts.
In this battle between humanity and demonic nature, he finally chose to return to humanity. Or rather, he has always adhered to humanity.
And as a human, he finally barely completed his duties and mission as a planetary governor.
The emperor guards the country's gate, and the king dies for the country. He failed to do the former, but barely did the latter.
So there is no need to care about his final outcome.
Even though he was destined not to return to the throne before his death, and then betrayed Nurgle.
The lonely soul that was not accepted by both sides eventually dissipated in the world, which was the inevitable result of his choice.
He got what he wanted, and he had no regrets.
In short, when the battle between the double blessings bestowed by the Lord of Corruption on this planet ended with the death of both sides.
This tragedy with the entire planet as the stage also came to the final curtain.
The chess game finally decided the winner, and humans temporarily took the lead here.
After being plucked violently, the string of fate finally calmed down in the constant tremors, and the power of the subspace surrounding the entire SATA No. 1 also quietly left.
When these uninvited guests inside and outside the field had left, the dark clouds that had been hanging over the Rast Hod Hive for several years finally waited for the moment to dissipate.
The weather became clear again, and the blue sky appeared above the Rast Hod Hive for the first time in a long time.
Unfortunately, none of the original local residents can enjoy the beautiful scenery after the rain.
But no matter what, this battle ended with the victory of mankind.
Even if so much has been paid.
This is the charm of mankind as a race that can dominate the entire galaxy. We have experienced ups and downs, and we always have hope.
Perhaps in the next few decades or hundreds of years, the empire will transfer new colonists from other places to live here.
In a few decades, the newcomers who have taken root will give this ancient and scarred nest a new life and vitality, just like our empire.
The war is still going on, and the war has never stopped.
But what we need to know is that eternal war is not terrible, but the terrible thing is to lose hope.
Even if the price we pay is sometimes too heavy to accept, please don't lose hope.
Please remember: the choice of choice is painful, but the abandonment in the choice must be achieved to avoid more pain.
After the Grey Knights finally confirmed that the two sources of Chaos in the Hive City were completely and thoroughly dead, they brought the unconscious Calvin to the welcoming square outside the Hive City Chapel.
Looking back from the square, the church-like copper dome of the chapel, which was the tallest building, was covered with shocking cracks.
That was the last struggle of the Eternal Cancer before death.
Although its original body had turned to ashes in the flames, its huge limbs in the past could no longer be found.
But the scars on the chapel with a fine gold skeleton, marble as flesh, and brass as the roof, which were tens of meters long and two meters wide, could still show how powerful it was at that time.
The end of the square was a giant helipad built to welcome foreign guests from the Hive City.
This is also the best place to establish contact with the orbit above.
"Dead Soul Redeemer, this is the ground execution team. I am temporary commander Gavins. Please reply if you hear me. Please reply if you hear me."
"............Ziz......Ziz......Dead Soul Redeemer received. Ground execution team, please reply."
"My team has completed the assigned mission, and the Chaos Ritual at the target location has been terminated. All targets have been cleared. Commander Galvin is now in a coma, and his condition is temporarily stable. One person from the Interceptor team was killed, and the rest are in good condition. But I have reasons to request to return to orbit immediately and wait for your reply."
"The Soul Redeemer has received the message. The scanning array and the psychic choir are confirming the results of the battle. Please wait... Confirm that the subspace force at the target location is rapidly dissipating, and confirm that the chaos ritual of Planet SATA No. 1 has been terminated. The psychic transmission function has been restored. Please review the working status of your psychic transmission beacon and confirm it within three minutes."
"Confirm that the squad beacon is intact. Commander Galvin's beacon is under the guidance of temporary commander Gavins. It can be transmitted and recovered at any time."
"The Soul Redeemer has received the message. The psychic transmission array has been charged. Countdown 10 seconds, 9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1..."
The psychic amplification devices of the Soul Redeemer, which was synchronously parked just above the orbit of the Rust Hod Hive, lit up first, and then the psychic transmission array located on the protrusion just below the bridge shot violent lightning towards the surface.
The real space was instantly pierced and overlapped by this force.
The beacons already inserted in the power backpacks of the warriors of the Grey Knights on the surface also lit up at the same time.
"Buzz~!"
On the teleportation array disc below the bridge, which was originally empty, a flash of lightning that pierced through the real space flashed across. As planned, all the surviving Grey Knights in this mission appeared on three discs, one large and two small, in three teams.
Captain Tabers had led the pharmacist brothers to stand outside the teleportation array and wait.
And Gavins shouted to him as soon as he saw him:
"Titan is seriously injured! I request to activate the No. 1 reserve agreement! With the authorization of the Grand Master Council, I will take over the supreme command of the Soul Redeemer from now on! Authority level α! Authorization code *****, I request that my ship immediately withdraw from the current combat sequence and return to the mother planet as soon as possible! Execute immediately!"
