Warhammer Divine Throne

“Before this, I must compliment you, Ryan, my child.” Makado’s old face is still full of sarcasm and sneer, as if everything in the world is He is a fool, only he is smart: “A child who can resist, question, and rebel is a qualified child. If you are really like Ruth, drooling and telling me, you are happy to be a tool, and you are happy to be his A running dog, then I don’t need to show up, I don’t need to teach you, or you are the smelly stone in the pit of Donne. If you haven’t learned to respect the elders, I won’t teach you.”

Ryan: “…”

The original body thinks that his father really likes irony.

Ryan vaguely remembers that Dorn, who was the original imperial fist, had a good relationship with Macado. He was a good partner in internal affairs and military affairs, but the latter two gradually appeared cracks-Dorn still While emphasizing honor and perseverance, courage and belief, Makado believes that these are not worth mentioning. Makado is indifferent to fame and fortune, and ridicules such things as courage, glory, and belief, and even more so. The players will also be obsessed with the great expedition snort disdainfully with countless victories, magnificent military exploits and great glory.

In the eyes of Makado, Donne is a stupid, most of the Prototypes are stupid, except for Ruth that can be recognized to a certain extent by Makado, only Khan, Kiliman, etc. There are a few people, but even for the most moderate existence like Killiman, there is a huge gulf of irreconcilable political opinions on both sides.

He knows better than anyone that gods (or primitives) gain power before they learn to control power. Mortals are obviously impossible than gods, but mortals know how to use the greatest restraint to control their own power. Every bit of growth.

Because of this, Macado can bear the resentment of almost the entire universe, bear the misunderstanding of anyone, bear the sins and disasters brought about by the implementation of the entire imperial bureaucracy, even the emperor himself Accusations, Makado is not a god, but his self-discipline, self-knowledge, introspection, and self-confidence are the keys to resist the chaos and corruption. The palmprinter is bringing the storm to an end time and time again, helping the building to fall, during the great expedition, the empire You can lose one, two or even half of the Primarch, and you can also lose one, two or even half of Legion, but the empire cannot leave Macado even on any given day. There are countless appointment and dismissal documents waiting for him to sign, and countless personnel deployment waiting for him. Nodding, countless worlds are waiting for the bureaucratic team headed by him to manage, countless secret agreements and agreements await him.

This is the existence of Makado, even the emperor is called “my best friend” and “my confidant”.

“My child, my daughter-in-law, you know in your heart.” Makado lightly tapped the ground of platform nine and three-quarters with a golden double-headed eagle scepter, he said with a smile: “What Trick says is not a lie. The Lord of Variations does not have to lie. He says it is true. In many cases, you do lack freedom. We must first admit this. Am I right?” p>

“……as father you said.” Ryan lowered his head.

“Your responsibility is too heavy. From the very beginning, you know it.” Makado mocked hehehe, and the handprinter cast his gaze into the distance: “These years, I have been sneaking through you. Observing the outside world carefully, it can be said that since your first time on the battlefield, you have both a sense of urgency and a sense of mission. You are in your teens and twenties. Sheng, Xianyi angry horse, when you are happy in life, but from the very beginning, you can’t do this, because you are the original body, you are burdened with too much from the very beginning and appear heavy, let alone what happened later. It’s up.”

Ryan lowered his head.

Suria, who was sitting next to Ryan, suddenly felt heart-wrenching pain in her heart.

Yes, from a very early time, Su Liya has a feeling that Ryan has always been burdened with extremely heavy responsibilities and obligations far beyond what he should bear at his age. He often fails It’s easy, but… Dame can only extend the hand and squeeze Ryan’s cold big hand tightly.

“I will tell you today, what is freedom? What is freedom?” Macado looked at his son, his eyes narrowed slightly: “The so-called freedom is actually divided into two types. , First, we call it’liberty’, second, we call it’freedom’.”

“Although liberty and freedom are both called freedom, they have very different meanings. liberty refers to, Freedom from being dictated by others, from being affected by subordinates and slaves, liberty does not mean’act wilfully’, but to get rid of the domination of others.” Makado first extended the hand and wrote on the table with psychic energy: “This It’s very simple. Why do humans resist chaos? Why do the immortals support the emperor’s unification of Terra? Why does Anglang rise up against the slave master? Without him, they are just for liberty, to regain their own life control and autonomy, this It’s freedom.”

“en.” Ryan and Su Liya both nodded.

“It is similar but the kernel is completely different. It is’freedom’. What is freedom?” Makado said with a smile: “Freedom also means very simple, that is, to get rid of the shackles of fate , To get rid of the domination of inevitability and have the power of one’s own choice, this is freedom.”

“Freedom is considered to be the knowledge and control of inevitability, but in practice, the outcome is often absurd. For example, is Anglang free? If he is, then he arrives at Nukelia and is attacked by Spirit Race, severely wounded, captured and turned into a gladiator, and finally put on the Butcher’s Nail. This can be considered destiny. , He is obviously not free, but Anglang rebelled. He rebelled with his free will. This is obviously free, but what was the result of his rebellion?”

“Brother was taken away by father , This is not free.” Ryan nodded, he was looking thoughtful.

“Yes, this is destiny again, but it is the result of Anglang’s own choice. When he chose to work for the emperor reluctantly, he was free, but soon No longer free, he chose the moment he betrayed, he was free, but immediately as he fell into chaos, he became an unfree existence again, became a toy for fear and abuse, in the same way, the world swallowers battle group We are unwilling to accept the emperor’s control and choose to install the Butcher’s Nail. Obviously, it is the control of free will. But we all know what is going on with the Butcher’s Nail. Is it still free after that kind of thing is installed?” Ma Cardo said with a smile.

Ryan smiles bitterly. What is the butcher’s nail? In the simplest way, cut off the brain in half and implant it with biomechanics. Those who accept the transformation have since lost all the source of happiness and excitement. Only in the battle and slaughter can obtain and secrete a trace of happiness, it is a dark technology that specializes in making gladiators.

“Above the lies called freedom, there are endless shackles, Ryan.” Makado then pointed to Suria: “You choose to marry Suria, choose to accept the canonization of the Spirit Race god , Choosing to become a king is your free will decision. At this point, no one can interfere with you, but as you make a decision, everything changes. You are no longer free, but are burdened with a deeper burden. Responsibility, deeper shackles, you may not regret it, but you must have thought about it more than once in your heart. Why do you pursue freedom, the more tired and harder you get later?”

“Everything is like father The words are normal, but I have no regrets about the choice of marrying Su Liya.” A trace of warmth rose in Ryan’s heart, and he took Su Liya’s hand and smiled at his wife.

“You have your own ideas, which is good.” Makado continued: “But after deconstruction like this, we have to turn back to two paths, one is the determinism of all things, this It is also very simple, that is, we can find out the cause of everything from any event. Since there is a cause, then all things happen inevitable. The more freedom we pursue, the less freedom.”

“You have to fight the final moment. You need to quickly control the country and form an army. Therefore, it is inevitable for you to become a king, and it is inevitable for you to marry Suria.”

“And your way , From my sacrifice to the emperor’s attempt to create Primarch, this is inevitable.”

“The attempt to create Primarch can be summarized into the confrontation between humans, Spirit Race and Chaos, which is also inevitable.”

“Then this question is over, because we can trace back to the origin of chaos, to the battle of the ancient sage and the dreader of heaven, to the birth of all spirits, and to the Universe Great Explosion.” Macado grinned said with a smile: “In this case, everything is fixed, so what is the meaning of our lives?”

“This is not right.” Ryan shook his head: “Otherwise All the sacrifices we have made, all the sacrifices you have made, the sacrifices of all mankind and the entire universe, are they meaningless?”

“That’s right!” Makado looked like a son. The hand-printer lightly nodded his head lightly: “Then it is free will that resists determinism. People firmly believe that through their own efforts, they can reverse causality and spontaneously make events happen, and make choices that can initiate a new chain of causality. Everyone can make a decision, but he has to be responsible for his own decision.”

“But the problem comes. Since it is a decision made by oneself, naturally one must be responsible for his own decision. The chain of responsibilities When law, morality, and ethics begin to appear, then it is inevitable that emotions are generated, hatred spreads, and the fierce emotions between mortals map and intensify the mutation of subspace, which leads to the birth of chaos and the endlessness between mortals. Exploitation and enslavement, hatred and killing.”

Ryan and Su Liya glanced at each other, and both nodded in approval.

“As hatred grows, and gradually, its roots can no longer be traced back. The hatred bred and produced by class, race, country and culture will only overflow more and more , And gradually evolved into an out-of-control war, spreading hatred to every mortal individual.” Makado looked into the distance: “Chaos was born from this, obviously they are Myriad Evil Origin, but so far Didn’t find any way to defeat them completely.”

“Isn’t even the Empire Truth possible?” Ryan said in confusion.

“Imperial Truth… Did you know that with the spread of Empire Truth in the Great Expedition, a new materialistic Chaos God is being bred in the subspace. If this continues, a new Chaos God Will appear, and the emperor is the mortal spokesperson of this new god.” Macado showed his withered teeth: “This is not good, not good at all.”

“Why not good? “Su Liya is still puzzled: “If you do this, didn’t the emperor gain enough power to deal with the Chaos Four Gods?”

“The nature has changed, from the war between mortals and Chaos to Chaos and Chaos. Chaos war.” Macadoo shook his head: “The emperor’s method is to make the map smaller, to make everything pure, and to roughly divide everything into’us’ and’enemy’. The chain of hatred and war will continue. The performance is endless, but if the network project can be successful, its scale will be controlled, but nothing has changed in essence.”

“And this is why the immortals have left the emperor one after another. They found that they were deceived, and the emperor did not completely solve the chaos. On the contrary, he rudely brought everything into his own order and control. After the power of mankind was assembled, he also named The shackles of order and rules have strangled the countless probabilities that human beings should have. Therefore, the disappointed and angry immortals left one after another. Only I understand him and I understand the emperor.”

“Primitives Born is a weapon, is born a tool, is born to kill and rule.” Macadoo said warmly: “But the emperor is not, I am not, mortals are not, the Primarchs must be brave and must be fearless, but mortals are not born born. Warrior, but the emperor still did this. I, Makado, as his only confidant and best friend, are willing to dedicate everything to him, even if my spirit can be used to maintain the Golden Throne, even if all my immortals are used up The power is only for him to arrange the funeral.”

“Speaking far, now you understand that all the so-called freedom is a false proposition.” Makado then said with a smile: “Then the problem Here comes, what is real freedom, how do we end the chain of hatred, how do we realize our own freedom, how to surpass human beings in denial and affirmation, this is the ultimate question related to Universe Source, I will leave it Here you are.”

“What should I do?” Ryan said subconsciously.

“foolish child.” Makado smiled kindly: “You have to find the answer by yourself, because this is a question that neither I nor the emperor can answer.”

“Leave it to me a question that neither you nor the emperor can answer?” Ryan said with a little anger and a little displeasure, “How could I know? I’m only fifty years old this year, how about you? You have lived for seven thousand years , The emperor is more than 48,000 years old, you don’t know the problem, throw it to me now?!”

“Because you are our child.” Makado suddenly He stretched out his withered and wrinkled hands, pressed Ryan’s head, and lightly rubbed his long black hair. The palmprinter stared at Ryan with affection and kindness, as if he wanted to Everything is deeply imprinted in my mind: “Isn’t this the expectation that the father must have when I hand over my life’s ideals and wishes to the next generation?”

, The original body was trying to say something, but he found that Makado’s silhouette was gradually fading.

The last power left in Ryan within the body is being exhausted. Makado himself discovered this point. The Handprinter has faded away all the ridicule and cynicism at this time, and he reveals his mortal Face, that is a simple, dying old man.

He is the founder of the bureaucratic system of the human galaxy empire. He is the Number One Person under the emperor. He is the strongest psionicist in the empire besides the emperor. He is the emperor’s relative The hero of the sentence has long been forgotten by the overwhelming majority.

His appearance is not sacred at all, unlike the emperor and the original body, which is fascinating at first sight and produces a sense of worship.

Because this is a human face, a mortal face, he doesn’t have any divinity in his body. If you don’t look at his golden double-headed eagle scepter, the overwhelming majority cannot follow him. It is distinguished by an ordinary old bureaucrat.

“I really have a lot to say to you, child, but I don’t have time.” Makado looked helplessly as he was dissipating: “Your existence is me and the immortals. I did everything possible to save from the Power of Darkness that created the original body. My genes and the emperor’s genes make up you.”

“The immortal genes of your within the body have been created because of the strangeness before. The destruction and sharing to Suria was lost.” Makado shot a golden light from his chest and poured it into Ryan’s within the body: “Now, let me recover it, but this is the last time.”

“father!” Ryan finally shed tears, the original body tried to extend the hand, but he caught nothing.

“To find the meaning of your own fighting, to find a way to end all this chain of hatred, to solve the ultimate proposition of the universe, there is still hope, Ryan.” Makado’s silhouette turned into Guang: “Please, my son.”

“What you lose is just the shackles called freedom. What you will get is the entire world! Child!”

The last mark of the palmprinter in the universe has disappeared. The rays of light of the hero dissipated with the chaotic wind in the subspace, and there was no reverberation. The nine and three-quarters of the platform has been disillusioned, and the rest, It’s a large piece of nothingness.

All the confusion on Ryan’s face disappeared, and the original body pulled Sulia, who was already in tears, to kneel.

“Thank you, father!”

The stalwart psychic energy of the Primal Gray Knight is re-burning, more vigorous than ever, except for the usual blue and Silver Flame In addition, it also adds golden flame light.

Since then, Ryan is no longer confused.

“Adoptive Father’s hymn is the hymn of mortals.” Su Liya lightly wiped her tears, and Dame sentimentally extended the hand: “He is a hero, a real hero.”

Ryan stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears, the original body opened his hands, and he recited an ancient song silently.

“The hand of the emperor is the hand of protection.” The blue and silver flames lit up in the sky.

“The hand of father is the hand of nurturing.” The golden flame lit up.

“The two hands are combined, the door opens.”

A door to return to the mortal world appeared in the chaos of the subspace.

“The blessings of Tonyki and the other three chaotic gods, the source quality of the digital spirit gods they gave to Mogul within the body is enough, and there is even more than enough.” Ryan flowed Tears, moved towards Su Liyaqiang said with a smile: “Well…it’s time to go back and continue to fulfill our own mission, which we have chosen, to save the world and prevent Aichaen and the moment of the end!”

“en!” Su Liya shook Ryan’s hand.

…………I am a farewell, the dividing line of the handprinter…………

Brittania, Palace of Fontainebleau.

More than two months have passed since the disappearance of father and mother. Devonshire has never hated his weakness and incompetence like he does today. The Sun King’s first wife’s eldest son is under the guidance of Green Knight. I tried hard, accepted various courses and sat down to listen to Raun Uncle and Grandpa Francois how to deal with internal affairs, just to be able to persevere earlier.

After finishing a whole course with great difficulty, Devonhill just got off his horse and planned to take a break. At this time, when a gust of wind blew, Devonhill suddenly felt that his head was touched by lightly.

Proud Baron usually hates others touching his head the most. Except for father and two mothers, Uncle Uncle, Devonhill will be angry when others touch him.

But why does this feel so warm and sad?

The son shed tears in the strange gaze of Sister Twilight, he extended the hand, but he didn’t catch anything.

Something turned into a wind and left forever.

Forever.
