Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 140 I'm Not Acting!

Reaching out to stop Codwina's gun, Karl stood in front of him.

The situation was so--familiar.

Even Karl has a sense of hallucination, as if returning to that "ventilation duct" at this moment.

"Do you believe the story I told you before?" Karl asked Kedwina in the communication channel.

For a moment, as if an electric current pierced through Kordwina's thoughts, he froze.

Yep, there's one more open question that hasn't been answered.

=Until the final church is used to bury the last priest, before that, human beings will not be able to move forward freely and become intelligent creatures that dominate the galaxy. =
This is the Imperial truth the Emperor speaks of.

The imperial truth tells people that they need to look at the whole world materialistically, rationally and objectively.

In the unified Empire of Terra and Man, there can be no mysteries of the soul, witchcraft, or gods.

But this kind of rationality itself is a kind of "wrong denial".

Denying the existence of "gods" in a world where "gods" do exist is in itself a manifestation of abandoning materialism, rationality, and objectivity.

Of course, this method can indeed be used to "explain part of the food source of the four gods", but in terms of the result, the emperor temporarily failed.

As a political commissar who devoutly believes in the truth of the empire and has always insisted on materialism, Kordwina has always regarded the truth of the empire as an oracle.

After all, it seemed to him that the Emperor was on the verge of successfully leading humanity back to the Golden Age.

Then whatever the Emperor said had its own meaning.

Loyalty is such a strange thing, its outcome often depends on the choice of loyal object.

Regrettably, regardless of whether Imperial Truth is correct or has positive value, its creator, the Emperor, is indeed falling short at this stage of the confrontation.

And at this moment, a paradox appeared in Kordwina's mind.

The emperor himself said the truth of the empire, but he used this kind of "witchcraft" to conceive a dream to Karl?
And the most terrifying thing is that this dream and prophecy finally came true verbatim.

This is a collapse of belief, a subversion of the meaning of life.

Just like Horus saw in the illusion that the Emperor used the "power of the warp" to create the Primarch.

The mental impact of this denial is enormous.

It's like you have worked hard for half your life and finally saved enough down payment to get a house.

But the next day, the neighbor came over and told you that it was the end of the world and the house was useless!
In an instant, these details, which were too busy to think carefully before, began to replay in front of Kordwina like a revolving lantern.

Look at that damaged Thunderhawk, that kind of super alloy material that can resist hundreds of times of acceleration, will be directly corroded and penetrated by a little bit of acid mist?
And judging from what happened afterwards, the detachment of Thunderhawk's engine and wings was no accident.

Look at the damaged armor of the group of wounded soldiers. Can this high-strength top armor be torn directly by the claws of a rotting corpse?

And look at the herpes that the wounded soldiers gave birth to due to the erosion and infection of the yellow mist. Even ordinary bacteria, the virus replication is not so fast, no matter how exponential the growth is, right?

Moreover, the air detector also ruled out the possibility of chemical contamination.

This is not materialistic at all.

Even though the truth of the empire added one-it does not deny the existence of higher dimensions and psykers, but this kind of weak words like patching has collapsed in front of the cruel reality at this moment.

When the patch is exposed by practice, the white lie can no longer be maintained.

What he saw before him made it impossible for Koldwina to refute Carl's story.

The gun in his hand gradually lowered while trembling.

"What does the Emperor need us to do?"

Yes, at this moment he has acknowledged Karl's status.

But even so, Kordwina is not under the orders of Karl, but under the orders of the Emperor.

Although there is no difference between the two.

As the only designated spokesperson of the Emperor at the current stage, Karl has the final say on what the Emperor wants to say?
"Believe in my next behavior unconditionally, and then keep quiet, I will help you deal with all problems."

Hearing this, Koldwina turned to look at the 7th company commander next to him.

Yes, this is not a decision he can make alone.

But the good news is that he and the 7th company commander shared and reported Karl's potential safety hazard immediately.

And among these security risks, it naturally includes the "story" that Karl once told.

Of course it wasn't a retelling, but when Karl was speaking, he kept an eye out and pulled the 7th company commander into the communication channel.

This cautious behavior also saved him some unnecessary troubles at the moment.

Looking at the 7th company commander who nodded slightly, although he couldn't directly see the expression of the 7th company commander under the helmet, he knew that it must be a frowning and bitter face like his own.

At least in the view of the 7th Company Commander and Codwina, no matter what Carl wants to do, as long as he does not touch certain "bottom lines", it is worth a try in this desperate situation.

But in the second of their acquiescence, this so-called bottom line was directly penetrated.

A series of deep dark green ripples emanated from Karl's body.

It was a familiar smell of corruption.

In other words, the essence of this corrupted breath is no different from the surrounding environment, and it is even more "pure".

Subconsciously, Kordwina raised the punisher in his hand again.

But the second he was about to kill the "traitor".

Like drinking tea or coffee, after the initial bitterness, he tasted a unique "sweetness" in his mouth.

Is that the "Emperor's Will"?
Kordwina was in an extremely entangled state at the moment.

The person in front of him is like a collection of contradictions.

You say he is the envoy of the emperor, he exudes a strange and corrupt aura.

You can say that he is the Chaos God's Chosen, his corrupt aura contains a trace of the Emperor's will.

At this moment, it is not true that Codwina is shooting, and it is not true if he does not shoot.

Seemingly seeing Kordwina's entanglement, Karl took off the helmet directly.

Then he gave Codwina a "friendly smile".

At this moment, Codwina seemed to see a phantom.

======
In that illusion, I couldn't help but raise my hand to shoot Karl in the stomach with the anger (fear) of corruption.

But looking at Karl who was slowly falling down in the blood, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

On Karl's blood-stained face, he saw a smile that succeeded in planning.

Suddenly, Karl, who was knocked down by him, emitted a strange green halo around him.

And a few seconds later, looking at the intact Karl, he was about to shoot another shot when he was directly disarmed by the 7th company commander.

"Sorry, you're surrounded!"

======
Is that the future that has never happened, or the past that has already happened?
he does not know.

Because after the ripples gradually dissipated, he had already confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.
