From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 508
?
Demon Fulgrim’s consciousness gradually recovered, and his mind was filled with vague illusions and violent shocks.
It tried to open its “eyes”, trying to focus its gaze and tear apart the chaotic fog that shrouded its mind.
As its vision gradually became clearer, it finally saw its surroundings——
That is, a space shrouded in hot magma and flames.
The surrounding air was so hot that it could almost cause any living body to collapse in an instant. The burning breath filled every inch of space, and the ground beneath his feet was trembling slightly.
The red light and orange light of the flames intertwined into a gorgeous and cruel scene. The rolling magma was like a fire dragon unwilling to remain silent, ready to devour all living creatures at any time.
However, the focus of all this is not on these sights, but on the figure standing in front of it.
Demon Fulgen narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to clearly identify the existence in front of him.
The figure was tall and majestic, at least 5.7 meters tall, or even more. He exuded a suffocating aura and seemed to have the power to defy everything.
The other party was wearing a black robe, embroidered with exquisite gold thread patterns, and the lines outlined by the golden lines were like sacred runes, symbolizing inviolable majesty.
“.”
Demon Fulgen looked at it intently, his heart suddenly shook, fear and doubt rising in his eyes.
The other party was a face that it had never seen before, but it was extremely familiar. There was a hint of silent compassion and insight in the other party’s deep and majestic eyes.
It felt like it was its “father” thousands of years ago, the being who once guided it to the right path.
But it finally realized that the person standing in front of it was actually the father in “Fulgrim’s” memory, that is, the human emperor Sui Yang in the main universe!
? ? ! !
Demon Fulgrim’s heart began to surge violently, and the scene in front of him plunged him into unprecedented confusion and fear.
It tried to get up quickly, trying to get away from it all.
But when Demon Fugen raised his hand instinctively, he suddenly discovered something strange about himself.
Its hands no longer have the weird shape of four arms, and the lower body no longer has the disgusting snake body.
At the same time, its “human” form is no longer a huge demonic form, but an intact “human” body. It even wears a purple robe, just like the “demigod” that once attracted much attention and praise.
this.
This confused the demon Fulgrim.
It was once an unimpeded existence in the abyss of chaos, and experienced countless killings, degradation, self-abuse, and blasphemy.
But now, the purple robe that is both familiar and unfamiliar seems to carry a connotation of holiness and power, and its restored “human” appearance is a sense of belonging that has been forcibly deprived of it, leaving it at a loss what to do.
The loss of connection and perception with Chaos made Demon Fulgen’s heart tremble again.
It wanted to avoid this answer, but the fear and doubt deep in its heart forced it to face it all.
So it could only stand there, incomprehensible, inexplicable, and clearly inconsistent with all its knowledge of chaos and corruption.
Sui Yang stared at the demon Fulgen in front of him.
Although he believed that he and the human emperor in “Warhammer 40k” were not the same person and were only slightly “related”, Fulgrim at this moment made him feel a heavy responsibility from his father.
Seeing the “son” sink and fall, Sui Yang’s heart was not filled with anger and disgust, but with emotions mixed with pain and forgiveness.
In fact, after his biological son Fulgrim used the flaming scimitar he made to kill the demon Fulgrim, Slaanesh tried to preserve the “essence” of the demon Fulgrim and started a fierce ” Confrontation”.
Slaanesh is unwilling to let the tools he shapes be easily destroyed and killed.
But Sui Yang used the Golden Throne to release his spiritual energy to the extreme and ventured into the subspace.
As Sui Yang expected, Slaanesh did not take the initiative to start a real contest with him.
Slaanesh’s fear prevented him from going all out, but chose to preserve himself.
In the end, Sui Yang succeeded in forcibly regaining Fulgen’s “essence” from the abyss of chaos in a difficult “friendly negotiation” (which was actually full of threats, mutual testing, and even death).
At that moment, Sui Yang knew that this was not only a successful “soul” recovery, but also the first relatively “head-on” contest between him and the forces of chaos.
Slaanesh, or all demons and evil gods except for the uncertain factor of Khorne, are afraid of their complete dissipation and can no longer enjoy the eternal fun like a “player”.
Although Sui Yang knew that his current strength was not enough to compete with the entire subspace, he still decided to take the risk.
If the essence of Fulgrim (Warhammer 40k Fulgrim) can improve the overall strength of himself and his sons, and strengthen the bargaining chip against the evil god, then everything will be worth it.
And when his consciousness finally broke away from the subspace and returned to the meditation hall of the main universe with Fulgrim’s “essence”, a clear picture emerged in his mind –
That is the new Argo shrouded in the shadow of the demon Fulgrim, which corresponds to the scene he [foreseen] a few months ago.
after.
Sui Yang once considered absorbing Fulgen’s “essence” directly and integrating it into his own spiritual energy, thereby strengthening his own power, and even using Fulgen’s chaotic essence for his own use, becoming a new energy. source.
Or, he also thought about “giving it” to his biological son Fulgrim, turning it into a part of Fulgrim to help his son become stronger overall.
However, these thoughts were suppressed deep in Sui Yang’s heart.
In the end, Sui Yang made a prudent and more strategic decision.
He did not rush to absorb or transfer Fulgrim’s “essence”, but chose to let his consciousness carry this power to a special field, that is, through the unified war of the “One Three” universe (Trench Crusaders), he was… plunder】past
hell.
And before going to hell, or before the confrontation between the demon Fulgrim and Fulgrim, Sui Yang ordered Alpharius and Omegon to send Alpha’s elite members to try to infiltrate into the subspace.
The core mission of this elite group of Alphas is to find opportunities and attempt to travel to the “Warhammer 40k” universe while avoiding exposure, so as to fully prepare for future strategic deployments.
Today’s main universe empire has formed the prototype of a powerful force, and this power is not limited to the main universe itself. This has made the Chaos Evil God of subspace full of hostility to the rise of the main universe empire.
In order to hinder the progress of the empire, they adopted various means to try to disintegrate the ruling system headed by Sui Yang and supplemented by the original body, and even hoped to trigger internal turmoil.
However, the real “cornerstone” of the empire lies in Sui Yang’s treatment of all human beings far beyond imagination, and its continuous progress in the direction of true “common prosperity.”
The Main Universe Empire, which inherits Atlas’s management style, is not just a cold-blooded machine made of blood and iron, but a huge system supported by ideals and beliefs.
For Sui Yang, possession and control of money and power are no longer goals. What really makes him obsessed is how to make human society more prosperous, powerful and happy.
After a long period of time, he no longer desires temporary glory and pleasure, but is willing to lead mankind towards true light.
If any son or any outstanding warrior can take over his position and lead the empire to a new height, Sui Yang will happily hand over the power to him and let him go all out to realize his ideals.
This way, he would have enough time to relax, take a vacation, or travel to different universes with his sons.
Unfortunately, once Sui Yang really “lets go”, the intricate relationship between the Primarchs will most likely plunge the entire empire into civil strife, and even lead to an unprecedented human civil war.
Therefore, he had to stick to his position, maintain control of the empire, and withstand pressure from both inside and outside.
Secondly, there is the point of “common prosperity”.
Please…you…Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\Nine\Book\!)
Through precise calculations of smart and stupid AI, coupled with the summary data provided by various departments, it shows an astonishing fact that the current average annual income of residents of the main universe empire has reached 143,600 cR (credit coins/1cR≈35 -40 soft sister coins), which has far exceeded the level of any historical period in the past.
And if these data are extended to the entire empire, that is, the empire’s territory in the multiverse, the average annual income of its residents will still remain at R.
Crucially, the inhabitants of the Empire never feel confused or confused by the pressures of life.
No matter which universe they are in, almost everyone can find their place. Stable jobs and a complete social security system provide a solid backing for every citizen of the empire.
All this was due to the empire’s policy of territorial expansion.
With the expansion across the universe and the influx of resources and wealth, almost no area will face scarcity.
A large amount of minerals, energy sources, advanced technology, and a steady stream of civilizational achievements have provided the empire with a strong economic foundation.
At the same time, the empire’s governance structure has become stricter. The regulatory authorities and intelligent AI are all loyal to Sui Yang. They are selfless and unbiased, and strictly enforce moral and legal standards.
This kind of monitoring mechanism and efficient administrative system made corruption almost a historical term, and it was impossible to survive in the social structure of the empire.
The people’s wealth and rights have been protected to a great extent, and everyone is moving toward the future together under the same blueprint to build a harmonious, just, and prosperous society.
To take the simplest analogy, “you” have a monthly salary and after tax is deducted, you still have a job with more than 50,000 soft sister coins, and the company will reimburse you 50% of your monthly food, drink, commuting, renting, etc.
The work content is to use the project that “you” are best at and most proficient in, and then arrive at work at 9 a.m. and get off work at 6 a.m. every day, with a two-hour lunch break, plus weekly weekends and holidays without compensation.
The year-end bonus ranges from 70,000 to 130,000 soft sister coins and various other benefits. The most important thing is that your superiors will not harass, take advantage of you, or take advantage of your position to do things that are detrimental to “your” interests.
If you encounter injustice, you can respond and report directly to the Supervision Department, and the Supervision Department will get a response and response as soon as possible. There will never be procrastination, “going through the motions” or “making peace with the mud”.
But suddenly a suspicious guy tells “you” that he will help steal key company documents, incite employee dissatisfaction, and even help bring down the company.
After the job is completed, the other party promises to give you a better position and a large bonus, but the other party has not yet paid the deposit.
At this time, how could “you” believe the other party’s words?
“You” don’t want the company to go bankrupt more than the boss, but that suspicious guy asked “you” to fight against the company? ?
At this stage, the residents of the Main Universe Empire are living an extremely fulfilling and affluent life. How could they easily listen to and believe in the temptation of Chaos?
This is also why it is difficult for evil gods and demons to cause trouble within the sphere of influence of the Main Universe Empire.
Presumably, the large-scale Chaos invasion that broke out in New Argo was most likely caused by deliberate and long-planned planning.
As for sending elite members of the Alpha Legion to go deep into the subspace and try to go to the “Warhammer 40k” universe, it is also risky.
But Sui Yang must take the initiative.
Although the foundation of the Main Universe Empire is as solid as a rock, it cannot withstand repeated invasions and harassment from Chaos.
According to preliminary statistics by Apu and Melissa, the Chaos invasion of New Argo City caused at least 6 trillion cR losses.
If we take into account the reconstruction of infrastructure, the restoration of social order and life, the pensions of various personnel and soldiers, and the later investment of manpower and material resources, the economic losses of the empire may reach 150,000 to 20 trillion.
The economic losses are completely within the acceptable range, but the most serious losses are suffered by the residents of the empire.
When the people of New Argo died, Sui Yang also temporarily “dragged” their souls into heaven with the assistance of the Golden Throne.
Conservative estimates show that the loss of personnel caused by this Chaos invasion reached at least 9 million, or even more.
In particular, the 2nd Company of the Sons of Man, because they were responsible for the New Argo area, “alone” fought against the main force of the Emperor’s Children, which almost wiped out the entire company.
There were less than 200 surviving Astartes, and less than 30,000 auxiliary troops, hell paratroopers and elven veterans.
This also made Sui Yang angry when facing Fulgrim in front of him.
After all, the loss of mankind was serious, and there were more than a thousand “grandsons” of the Sons of Man among them.
But in the end, Sui Yang did not choose to let his emotions affect his reason, and Fugen in front of him was also his “offspring” in a sense.
At this moment.
Sui Yang, who was silent for a while, first sighed lightly, and then said in an extremely calm tone, but with an irrepressible majesty:
“You have gone too far, Fugen, you are lost in power, glory, vanity, and pleasure, and gradually forget your original self, forget the ideal that once fought for mankind, and how many humans have died because of you
Trillion? Or trillion?!”
As Sui Yang’s words became more and more passionate, his body began to change in this burning hell.
His height was constantly rising, and his body and strength became extremely huge in an instant. It seemed that every step he took could shake the void of hell.
This also made Fugen look up at him, feel the almost overwhelming pressure, and rise from the bottom of his heart A deep fear rose.
