Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 84 Homecoming and Hope
Calvin became a god?God of Redemption Calvin?Or the second emperor Calvin?
Thinking a little too much...

If the birth of a god was really so cheap and simple, how could it be the turn of a wandering black household like Calvin?

Considering the population size of human beings, there should have been one or two gods belonging to human beings in the past tens of thousands of years of history, right?
Not to mention the ancient gods of the Four Gods of Chaos, which exist in the form of rules.

Let’s just say that the Emperor himself is the belief of the entire empire. It has been 8000 years since the birth of the state religion. Has he become a god?
Compared with the population of the entire empire, can the souls of a mere 20 billion people reach one millionth of the power of faith that the emperor received in the past?

The answer is obviously no.

The current population size of the empire has always been a mystery.

Even the Ministry of the Interior, which was specially set up to manage the empire, cannot figure out the true number of the empire's population under the inefficient management mode of the empire today.

After all, apart from the well-developed business world and industrial world, there are all kinds of backward wild worlds, tribal worlds, and other wonderful existences in the empire's territory.

But only based on the effective administrative management of the empire, what is the population of this mere planet in an empire known as a million planets?
You must know that it has been 8 years since the emergence of the state religion, and the people of the empire are not immortal.

In terms of an average theoretical lifespan of less than 30 years old, how many generations are enough to update the population of the entire empire for 8 thousand years?
How much faith did the people of the empire who died in the past 8 years contribute to the god emperor?
This does not allow the Emperor to rank among the gods, so why does he have Calvin?Of course not.

What's more, the so-called "salvation" authority that Calvin currently holds in his hands is only a little bit stronger than the original seed.

From the acquisition and germination of seeds to the growth and condensation of authority.

And then the spread and consummation of the concept of authority, until the final divine fire is lit, the priesthood and real name appear in the origin of the universe, the throne can be lifted up and finally become a god.

Calvin was just at the beginning of this difficult and extraordinary road that few people have succeeded in hundreds of millions of years.

After he completely consumed and transformed those "desperate souls", the crisis he faced no longer existed.

And it was also after the tense battle and crisis were completely over that he really took the time to understand that the "authority" that brought him victory in front of him was not as omnipotent as he imagined.

This "salvation" was originally born only for Calvin's previous actions, so the power it possesses is naturally limited to the goals that Calvin was obsessed with before.

Yes, it is the soul of the dead.It is merely a redemption for the souls of those who died in war and pollution.

Even the real natural death is out of his control, those souls without obsession have their own destination.

It is still far from the true salvation of all things, and it is only a certain aspect of "salvation" in the full sense.

Or, according to Calvin's knowledge in the memory of his previous life, the abilities that this thing possesses now are no different from those monks and priests who are "fasting rituals" and "transcendence".

It's just that in this world without reincarnation at all, Calvin made the wrong choice, and made the final destination of this salvation into his own spiritual world...

So after all this hard work, Calvin, who had figured out what he was capable of now, looked at the "salvation" in his hand with a wry smile and muttered:

"Unexpectedly, after two lifetimes, I, Lao Jiang, will be a magic stick one day... How disgraceful he is..."

And after researching the newly harvested power in front of him, all that remains before Calvin is the spoils of war—those that were gathered together with these fragments of the soul in the fruit that was originally used to prepare Eternal Cancer himself to ascend to the devil For use, there is also the collection of life force of the entire 20 billion people.

Only this power can support it to complete its final growth in the real universe.

Let it grow into a huge body that can wear a planet's mantle as a garment.

And now, these pure, masterless forces were before Calvin.

Calvin was not greedy for the gain of this power.

As a human being, he doesn't need these life forces.

For a Primarch, he was huge enough.

And as a human being, he has an instinctive taboo against this vitality that also comes from human beings:
If this thing is eaten, it is no different from cannibalism, right?
So in the spiritual world, he put away this exuberant vitality that was about to overflow, thinking about when he could go to SATA No. [-] again, and return it to that planet.

After everything was over, Calvin floated quietly in the sky, listening to the faint sound of hymns coming from the ground under his feet, and smiled.

The belief and gratitude of these believers is the biggest gain of his trip.

Then his figure disappeared into the sky, and his soul returned to the sun directly above the sky and fell into a deep sleep again.

After gaining these new powers of authority and faith, both his spirit and body need to grow further to adapt to the new changes.

The growth this time is different from the past, and it will be a long transformation of his soul.

And this transformation process has just begun...

The Wraith Redeemer is still sailing in the quiet warp lane.

The abnormal fluctuations surrounding the entire ship and the drastic changes in Calvin's physical signs made Calvin's guard members forget the instructions (threats) of Brother Apothecary.

They rushed into the medical cabin in the medical room that surrounded Calvin nervously, blocking the door of the pharmacists who had heard the news.

After trying several times but failing to squeeze into the cabin, the other party loudly reprimanded this group of idiots who could not help anything other than watching the fun. The angry voice of the pharmacist brother came from the loudspeaker on his white helmet. outgoing:
"Get out! Get out! In the name of the throne! You can't take off this turtle shell and come back? I will turn against anyone who puts me in the Terminator and enters the medical cabin in the future!"

And when Gavins and the others were driven by the pharmacist to the door of the medical cabin with embarrassing expressions, the storm in the subspace just happened to disappear without warning.

Calvin, who regained consciousness, opened his eyes and looked at the people present from the transparent life support cabin.

And Gavins, who was worried about Calvin, happened to look back at the direction of Calvin's survival cabin for the last time at the door.

"He's awake!" Gavins exclaimed.All the brothers turned back...

So the pharmacist brothers who had just cleared the space and had no time to breathe a sigh of relief could only watch a group of terminators who had just been kicked out rush in again...

"Hey~! Are you okay?"

"Ah, it's okay. It's fine for now."

"temporary?"

"Well, I feel that I may need to sleep for a while to adjust the gap between my spirit and my body again..."

"...Speak human language. Brothers don't understand what you mean."

"...I still have to sleep for a while, you guys can get out!"

"Hey! That's right! Let's go, brothers, let's eat and eat..."

"Let's go! It is said that there is a new batch of special ant beef in the restaurant today..."

Calvin, who was separated from the life support cabin, had a great time communicating with everyone through the psionic channel, and the efficient communication within a few seconds made everyone feel relieved.

Then, after the terminators stared at Calvin for a few seconds, which was considered weird in the eyes of the pharmacists, they all walked out in unison.

The psychic energy fluctuations in the air made the pharmacist mistake it for ordinary psychic information delivery.

But why the other party still uses this expensive but highly confidential communication method on their own ship is not what the pharmacist wants to know.

In his opinion, the less curiosity the better.

The other party has his reasons for keeping it secret so carefully.There's not much he can do, just understand...

After carefully reading the long data tape that was spit out on the sign monitor according to the procedure, the pharmacist said to Calvin in the tank:
"The current data indicators tend to be stable, but my suggestion is that you'd better stay inside and observe for a while."

Calvin, who knew his own family affairs and knew that he was still dormant, was floating in the tank and nodded to the other party.

After receiving his confirmation signal, the pharmacist stopped talking, turned around and turned off the lighting in the cabin, and then walked out of the cabin.

Tranquil darkness surrounded Calvin once again, and he, who was exhausted, obeyed his instinct and fell into a long sleep...

The long subspace journey is still going on, and the entire fleet has not encountered any accidents on the way.

On the ninth day of the subspace voyage, the fleet rendezvoused with the battleship Supreme Decree in the Heshas section, and Calvin was transferred to the larger and comprehensive medical department on the battleship.

Subspace Voyage No. 30 days, the new fleet with the Supreme Decree as the flagship arrives at the staging area of ​​the star field navy fleet, the main table
On the 90th day of subspace voyage, the fleet finally arrived at Tath World, one of the secret nodes of the Tribunal in the Pacific Star Field, for a short and secret supply of supplies.

On the 130th day of the subspace voyage, the fleet arrived in Terra.After briefly communicating with a Sector Fleet node on Mars' Iron Ring, the fleet disappeared into the fog of war that had surrounded the Titans for millennia.

Calvin's sleep time was much longer than he expected.

The full five-year hibernation was something he hadn't thought of in the beginning when he had that final communication with Gavins.

But again, it makes sense.

Because the creation of the initial authority has completely put an end to his mortal life with himself.

After possessing the first authority, the divine soul has completely separated from the mundane.

At the end of the road to the collection and establishment of his authority lies the fate of standing shoulder to shoulder with the gods.

It's a pity that Calvin is not an aborigine, so he will never be able to find his own subspace essence in this universe like the Primarchs before him.

Because the power of the Warp essence is so great, once recovered, the power of the Primarch can be multiplied geometrically.

Fortunately, Calvin was not a native, so the path he finally chose may not be worth mentioning at the moment.

But on the road of authority, his growth makes the upper limit of what he can eventually have jaw-dropping.

On this bumpy road of fate, if Calvin is lucky enough to be able to come to an end, then his strength is not comparable to those of his elder brothers who were destined to be capped at birth.

If anything, the power Calvin received from the Emperor may not be worth mentioning compared to all his Primarch brothers before him.

But there is one thing that is unique and precious to him, and that is hope.

　It took a day to change the network, sorry for the late post.There will be another chapter later.In addition, the growth of the collection is a bit pitiful, please vote.Many thanks.
