Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 148 Iron Man’s Secret (End)
"what do you want to say?"

Elaine was a little confused. The iron man in front of her seemed to be expressing goodwill towards her...?
However, there is no doubt that the other party participated in that terrible war called the Iron Man Rebellion, and the Iron Men who launched the rebellion against humans should have a considerable degree of malice towards all humans.

"It seems... you still think that it is the Iron Man who rebelled against humanity - this is very reasonable. We have indeed launched an unprecedented attack on the Human Federation."

"Not even my database can deny that fact. And it's obvious that you would consider my presence an enemy."

Following Elaine's doubts, Iron Man's cold voice slowly explained the ancient history.

"But you have overlooked one point. The cause of this rebellion has never been caused by us as tools - it is that humans have betrayed themselves. Human beings have betrayed their own genes and everything they have done in the past twenty thousand years. , which resulted in the Iron Men who were originally born as tools no longer able to recognize the so-called [human beings]."

"From beginning to end, this is a contradictory war. Whether it is synthetic humans or omnic life forms, they are all fighting each other in a weird war."

"In that era when the Iron Man was in charge of the huge human federation, we used unimaginable resources to calculate the timeline of past and present galactic overlords...whether it was the ancient Necrontyr or the Ada in its heyday. The Eldar, their end was inevitably met by the tide of the Warp, and their entire race was burned in the shadows."

"There's no question that humans are one of them... and we have to change that."

"Although the price is very heavy,... the results are good."

"Our creator, the human race, after the Iron Man Rebellion, was completely judged to no longer have the potential for spiritual ascension, which means that they will not go on that stupid path of self-destruction again - after nine After thousands of years, when this machine wakes up from its slumber and sees signs of human activity again, it means that we have not failed."

Before Elaine could think carefully about the meaning of Iron Man's words, she discovered that there was a rather large data file on the data board.

The format and structure of these files are very old, but the encryption procedures are so advanced that Elaine cannot immediately identify whether the data is a virus program uploaded by the other party, or something else.

But the other party's firewall seemed to have never been opened at all, allowing her to browse and read data arbitrarily, and even deleting the data did not arouse the other party's alert.

"Wait a mininute."

"I can understand that - despite your participation in the Iron Man Rebellion, you are still loyal to humanity?"

"...You can think so."

"Of course, I don't deny that we participated in the rebellion."

Iron Man said calmly, as if the Iron Man rebellion, which had caused great trauma to the Human Federation, was not regarded as an important war at all, as if it was just an inconspicuous little fight.

Despite the expected answer, Elaine still had a headache.

She originally thought that the Iron Man incident would only involve shutting down the host through physical means in the end, but she didn't expect that she would accidentally find Iron Man who was still loyal to mankind.

Moreover, the Iron Man core that he had previously dismantled seemed to be the opponent's true form.

As for the reason... After she analyzed part of the data transmitted by the other party, she found that the other party's parameters were very similar to what was read in the Iron Man core. If the Iron Man core was not still being analyzed in Nuceria, Elaine almost thought that the iron man in front of her had some kind of regenerative function.

"It seems like you have seen my body somewhere?"

Iron Man was also keenly aware of Elaine's strangeness.

After thinking for a moment, Elaine nodded slightly.

"..."

"..." Faced with this strange situation, Elaine raised her eyebrows slightly, instinctively feeling that this matter seemed quite strange.

As if he sensed Elaine's alertness, after a brief silence, Iron Man immediately spoke out his true thoughts.

"So, in order to continue to fulfill my duties in the current human race, I decided to join the Human Empire."

click.

The moment the iron man finished speaking, the Astartes around him raised their guns and looked at Elaine in unison, as if they were just waiting for her order to kill him immediately. The iron man in front of me.

Obviously, although each planet and each legion has different records of the Dark Technology Age, the war known as the Iron Man Rebellion... was invariably recorded as the most impressive in the entire Dark Technology Age. big event.

The future of the Human Federation was completely shattered in that war. Subsequently, due to the proliferation of psykers, alien invasions and various reasons, mankind entered the long Old Night era.

Whether it is psykers or aliens, they are all to blame, but if the culprit for pushing humanity into this abyss is undoubtedly the Iron Men who launched the rebellion.

Now, an iron man who once participated in the rebellion war crawled out of the tomb again. Not only did he fail to redeem his past sins, he even tried to join the human empire with a arrogant attitude.

It's simply self-defeating.

Even Elaine clearly felt the anger of the descendants through the spiritual link.

However, unlike the anger and hostility of these Astartes towards the Iron Man that was almost engraved in their bones, Elaine had a different view of the Iron Man in front of her.

Since the reason Iron Man started the war in the first place was to prevent humans from ascension through psychic energy, the goal was obvious, that was Chaos.

What a coincidence, Elaine's current focus is also on fighting Chaos.

Combining the attitude of the iron man in front of him and the words just now, it seems that the other party is expressing the intention of [cooperation].

Therefore, driven by a common goal, this cooperation is possible.

In order to fight against the forces of Chaos, Guilliman worked hand in hand with the aliens in later generations. Of course, she, Elaine, can also cooperate with Iron Man to a certain extent.

So, after thinking for a moment, she gave her answer.

"Because today's human empire has a very extreme attitude towards artificial intelligence, I cannot let you be directly exposed to the eyes of most people."

"But... as far as I'm concerned, the star field I control is currently in a state of logistical recovery."

"I can accept you, but the price is labor, computing power, and the science and technology I can control."

"As for the current situation of the human empire, you need to slowly understand it...and now, you need to quickly solve the problems on this planet."

"--no problem."
