Chapter 714: Intertwined


    【Time: -41.48.12】


    Duanmuhuai is dreaming.


    When he regained consciousness again, he found that he was in a pure white space - no, this was not because this space was pure white, but because of the dazzling brilliance. There was something here, on him. The light emitted illuminated the world in front of him, plunging it into pure white.


    ? Duanmu Huai knows who he is. After all, it is said in all the classics that when you see him, you will naturally know his identity, his name, and his existence.


    “I didn’t expect you to come to me.”


    ?But Duanmuhuai didn''t care about this. He just looked at the shining figure, looking quite calm.


    “What’s the matter?”


    “You shouldn’t be here.”


    ?The figure spoke, or maybe he didn''t, but it didn''t matter. Anyway, Duanmu Huai heard his voice.


    “This is not where you should be, you should go back to where you should be.”


    “Maybe it is, maybe it’s not, what does it matter?”


    Duanmuhuai spread his hands.


    “The fact is that I have already appeared here. Why, you are still going to close your eyes and stupidly hypnotize yourself like the Imperial Truth that I don’t exist?”


    “This is not your business.”


    The figure spoke again.


    “You have your own mission.”


    “This is none of your business.”


    Duanmuhuai snorted coldly and shouted back.


    "I am where I want to be, and I do whatever I want to do. Could it be that you have been sitting on the golden toilet for a long time due to Alzheimer''s disease, and you feel that everyone should burst into tears at your speech? Also, don''t He''s pretending to be the Riddler in front of me. What I hate the most is the kind of idiot who half-speaks but can''t finish what he said and looks enigmatic. Either you don''t say anything, or you tell everything. You deserve to be unlucky if you say what you should say or not. …Do you feel that the lessons you have learned are not profound enough now?”


    …………”


    Facing Duanmuhuai’s ridicule, the latter remained silent for a moment.


    “It’s all planned, you wouldn’t understand.”


    "Ah, these words sound so much like the mantra of a blue monster with a bunch of gynecological diseases on his face, ah, yes, yes, yes, everything is your plan, and the Horus Rebellion is also your plan, It was your plan to split the Primarch, it was your plan to destroy the Webway, it was your plan to put the Empire in turmoil, so what''s the point of going to all the trouble of pretending?"


    As Duanmuhuai spoke, he held his arms in his arms.


    "Come on, make it up, keep making it up, let me see how far-sighted you are? It seems that your mouth is as tough as your cunning, and you just won''t let go, right? It''s as if no one cares about your face. Live. After thousands of years of not making any progress, knowledge is not equal to IQ, maybe you will never understand this truth.”


    ?Having said this, Duanmuhuai snorted coldly. Dark flames erupted from his body, instantly swallowing up the space originally illuminated by pure white light, turning it into a half-black and half-white space.


    "Also, don''t put such a big light in other people''s consciousness. You don''t understand politeness at all. You have been doing whatever you want for a long time. Do you think there is nothing in this world that you can''t offend? If it weren''t for Horus and the Evil God Working together, I really want to see how he goes to Terra and smashes your dog''s head."


    Duanmu Huai looked at the light and shadow and showed a ferocious smile. Although he knew the identity of the other party, it didn''t mean that he would bow down to him when he went up. On the contrary, Duanmu Huai could feel that this guy had an aura that he hated very much. It was an aura similar to the superior charm of a real wit. ——So your personal charm is this kind of thing, right? You rely on this thing to make other people look like fools and only follow your lead.


    ??You can still deceive others with this trick, but I am the God of Destruction now. If you dare to use this trick on me, do you really think that I dare not smash your dog''s head?


    Zhenjiling is a cute girl after all. You are a man, and you are a man with a pointy chin that can kill people, so don’t show off in front of me.


    ??Could it be that you want to stab me to death?


    “Everything I do is for humanity.”


    “Expand and conquer like a tyrant, forcibly advancing the worthless imperial truth? Sorry, in my opinion, what you did may be for humanity, but the method is very stupid, and I cannot agree with it.”


    Yes, this is the aspect that Duanmu Huai cannot compromise with. He is eager to shape the future of mankind in his own way. Simply put, in his opinion, the future of mankind must become what he wants. That is Correct.


    But Duanmu Huai is not like this. He prefers the survival of the fittest among human beings. Whether it is the Star Alliance, Faerun, or other worlds, whether it is the magical world or the technological world, it does not matter. What is important is who among them can win in the end. In Duanmu Huai In Huai''s view, only what emerges after the survival of the fittest is the best. After all, this is the path chosen by humans.


    Rather than following the blueprint planned by others, it is like thinking that Western democracy is the best and that other systems have no value. It is pure nonsense.


    Relatively speaking, Duanmu Huai is truly following the truth of the empire - recognizing and accepting the objective laws of development of things, instead of being like a shiny old bacon who will only plan everything according to his own ideas, as long as he deviates from All your own ideas are regarded as mistakes and threats.


    ?Well, from a certain level, he is also a threat to Duanmu Huai.


    “There has never been a savior, nor did we rely on gods and emperors. If we want to create human happiness, we must rely on humans themselves.”


    Duanmuhuai spread his hands.


    "Without a people''s army, there is nothing for the people. Astartes, Custodes, Primarchs? Are they human? Oh, by the way, and you, are you still human?" Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes. , staring at the figure in front of him, who just stared at him.


    “You have to get out of here.”


    "What a pity, it doesn''t matter what you say, I don''t listen to you, what can you do to me? Do you believe that I can go to Terra to crush your dog''s head in place of Horus?"


    “You have no idea...”


    “I don’t need to know, and I don’t want to know.”


    Duanmu Huai decisively interrupted the figure’s speech.


    "Listen, I will do what I decide based on what I see and what I think. I don''t need others to dictate my actions. Of course I know this is not normal, but so what? I can hammer It would be even better if I could defeat Erebus and defeat Angron. It would be even better if I could knock Lorgar and Horus to the ground. For me, this is enough. What happens next? , Thinking so much is useless, it is a waste of time and brain cells. Look, you have thought so much, and now you are not an old man in the golden toilet? I don’t see that your foresight has any effect. "


    As Duanmu Huai spoke, the black flames became more intense and gradually began to swallow up the holy radiance, and the figure retreated.


    “Looks like we can’t come to an agreement.”


    “On this point, we can agree.”


    Duanmuhuai chuckled and told a not-so-funny joke.


    The light is gradually dimming, and the figures are about to disappear.


    “Oh, by the way, there is one last thing I have wanted to say to you for a long time.”


    Duanmu Huai looked at the figure disappearing in front of him, patted his head, then raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and then raised his middle finger.


    “Fuck you, you son of a bitch.”


    The light completely disappeared, and darkness completely enveloped everything.


    When Duanmuhuai opened his eyes again, he felt refreshed.


    “Phew, feel comfortable...!”


    As he spoke, Duanmuhuai stood up and stretched. At this moment, Ogis, who was next to him, raised his head from the book and stared at him curiously.


    “Did you have a good dream, Master?”


    “I met a bastard, we had a frank exchange of opinions and reached a consensus.”


    Duanmuhuai chuckled. The player''s attitude towards the empire is determined by his personal values, and Duanmuhuai''s Inquisition''s attitude towards the empire is also determined by his values.


    In Duanmu Huai''s view, the empire after the emperor left was the real empire of humanity. Although many things happened and many dangers were encountered, the empire of humanity still maintained its existence for dozens of thousands of years despite the ups and downs. This is enough to illustrate the tenacity and greatness of human beings themselves.


    As for the human empire before this, it is better to say that it is the empire of the emperor than the empire of humans. The reaction of Horus and the others is very telling. They are fighting for the Emperor''s empire, not for the empire of mankind. If there is no Emperor, the empire will have no value in their eyes.


    The same is true for the Imperial Guards. After Old Bacon sat on the Golden Throne, they locked themselves in the palace and turned a blind eye to everything that happened to the Empire. Therefore, it was obvious whether these Imperial Guards were loyal to the Empire or the Emperor.


    ?So is the Emperor still a human being? Or maybe a wolf in human skin?


    ?Only God knows.


    In Duanmu Huai''s view, the Custodes are not trustworthy, the Emperor is not trustworthy, and even most of the Primarchs are not trustworthy. The Astartes - the earliest ones may still have the glory of humanity like Tarvez. But those who followed Horus to rebel had obviously lost their dignity as human beings.


    The fate of human beings cannot, of course, be left in the hands of beings other than humans.


    ?This is the reason why Duanmu Huai has been restraining the spread of the power of the Inquisition. The Inquisition only assists and watches, but will not choose to conquer and preach like the Emperor. As long as you don''t join forces with the Evil God of Chaos, you can do whatever you like. If the path you choose is strong enough, you will definitely stand out. And if you choose a wrong path, you will inevitably perish - this is the truth of the world, survival of the fittest, and no life can escape this law.


    But the Chaos Evil Gods are different. Their existence violates common sense and violates the rules of the world, so they must be eliminated, purified, and eliminated. Rules do not require self or consciousness. When they develop self-awareness, their existence value ceases to exist.


    The law of survival of the fittest exists, but it is not needed to define who will be eliminated. Just like legal provisions, they just lie in the book waiting to be quoted, rather than actively jumping out to show their sense of existence.


    After washing up, Duanmu Huai walked out of the room, and Ogis followed him silently to the command room. And here, Aikote is also ready.


    “Uncle Inquisitor, we just received a message from Mr. Guilliman. He hopes to discuss the next actions with you.”


    "After crying, you start fighting again? Sure enough, it has to be him."


    Duanmuhuai nodded.


    “Tell Guilliman I will be there soon.”
