Chapter 343 What Valoris Saw (Happy Lantern Festival!)

This is a scene I have never imagined. I never thought that one day I would be able to truly communicate with His will face to face.

I have visited Him in the throne room, but I could only watch from a distance because the huge room was filled with high-intensity psychic heat waves that could burn the soul; I could only see a piece of broken flesh through the dazzling gold. He, who was completely stagnant between life and death, was buried in this deep forest composed of steel cables, like a pearl lost in an ugly and hateful mechanical shell.

In the ten thousand years that He sat on the throne, He never spoke a word, just watching the empire He founded slowly slide to the edge of collapse after the disappearance of His loyal descendants; the reason why this slide was delayed for nearly ten thousand years was purely because of the huge territory of the empire and the countless lives sacrificed for it.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, His power in the warp is getting stronger, especially after the rise of the state religion. In the past few thousand years, the combat intelligence of the mysterious Black Armor Legion has been increasing. At the same time, one of the saints protected by the "Aquila Shield" has also been favored by the golden power in the battle and was named a "living saint" by the state religion...

Maybe it may be a bit blasphemous to use the mantras of those priests to express my idea, but I still worry:

If He can really step down from the throne one day... Will He still be the Lord of Humanity ten thousand years ago?

But now these concerns have disappeared, His human will is in front of me, and the Empire will usher in new hope.

"Get up, Valoris." I heard Him say.

I restrained my emotions so as not to lose my composure in front of Him, and slowly got up from the ground; at the same time, I was able to look around the hall I was in - except for the golden eagle totem behind Him, there was no decorative style of the Empire or the Martian Mechanic Church, nor did I see any mechanical structures such as feeder cables. Only the light of the thousands of stars above my head reflected the glimmer of the ancient bronze metal here.

Is this a relic left over from the dark technological era? I thought to myself, and then humbly asked:

"My Lord, where are you in the galaxy now? As long as you have the coordinates, the "Aquila Shield" can be teleported here in an instant."

"Aquila Shield" is responsible for protection in the Imperial Legion, and the objects they protect are not only the top leaders of the Empire, but also the people selected by the "Doomsday Prophet" in the palace. These people will reverse and resolve various terrible disasters that threaten the throne through their own abilities, thoughts or behaviors in the future. The Imperial Guards of the Eagle Shield will ensure the safety of these people before they play their due value.

But now, I am afraid that the value of these people packaged together is not as good as the supreme will in front of me.

"No need. This is another ancient Terra, with all the beautiful scenery such as the sea, forests, wheat fields, and people have not yet walked out of the stars," the boy said calmly, "The most important thing is that there is no subspace in this universe, and the subspace engine cannot be activated here."

Another Terra? Another universe? I tried hard to understand and digest the huge information contained in my Lord's words.

Someone is coming. I noticed a mysterious blue light on the ground somewhere in the hall. When I was about to activate the energy field of the Watcher's Axe, my Lord gently stroked my shoulder armor to stop my instinctive defensive action:

"Don't be nervous, Valoris. I can just introduce you to the new warriors I will create on this Terra."

New warriors? I thought a lot in a few microseconds, but the first thing I thought of was me...or the Guards I represent. When Terra fell into the old night era of technological barbarians and genetic warlords conflicting with each other, the Lord of Mankind created us long before creating the "Thunder Warriors", giving the short-sighted warlords on Terra the final notice of "disobedience means destruction".

So... Is the Lord going to create new warriors like us on this other Terra?

I couldn't help but look at the young boy who walked out of the light curtain sternly -

His body age is a bit too old, and he doesn't meet the age standard of recruits trained by the Imperial Guards (generally, they are selected from young children); his eyes look a bit stupid, and he feels more like a barbaric and brainless man rather than an excellent and qualified recruit with strategy and plan; not only is his physique a bit thin, but his genetic bloodline seems to be mixed with a lot of impurities, which is not pure enough...

I frowned slightly but recovered quickly: After all, this is the warrior that the Lord wants to create, and I shouldn't make any unnecessary comments. But if He wants more qualified and excellent children, I can go back to Terra to recruit them directly.

"Let me introduce you, the warrior next to me is Trajann Valoris, the current commander of the Imperial Guards of Terra Palace;" The Lord introduced me to the boy, and then looked at me and introduced him, "Trajann, this is Lu Mingfei, an excellent warrior who will lead a new legion."

Lead a new legion? Is it a commander like me... or does the Lord want to create another Primarch?

Out of respect for the Lord, I nodded to the child named Lu Mingfei.

"Lu Mingfei is a special existence. His soul belongs to this universe, but in an unknown accident, his soul went to the universe where we are and became an Astartes; until he died in battle, his soul returned here again."

"Not long after, the 'I' on the throne noticed his fire of faith, and also noticed the existence of this world."

My Lord calmly told me all this, "So I decided to create new warriors here, where I will not be affected by the existence of those subspaces, and I can devote myself to work."

"Is there anything I can do for you, my Lord? I am willing to guard you forever."

I asked sincerely, whether it was the origin of Lu Mingfei, or whether my Lord wanted to create new warriors or even new gene primitives, I didn't care now.

I just want to fulfill my ancient duties and guard my Lord's side, even if I die.

"No, Valoris, you have more important things to do," my Lord calmly rejected me, "Under your leadership, the Imperial Guard has achieved the best development in history. They really need to go out of the palace walls, vent their anger on other enemies, and save more people in the empire."

"Yes, my Lord. Follow your will." I said bitterly, looking at the child named Lu Mingfei, I couldn't help but feel a mundane emotion called "envy".

I walked back to the place where I appeared. The light of the ground matrix engulfed me. When I appeared again, I had returned to the mysterious room. Bossa and his four shadow prison officers were still waiting there.

After a brief explanation, I took them into the "Gate to the Unknown or Hope" and came to the universe where my Lord was, that Terra; their reaction was no calmer than mine when they met my Lord's will. Even the most indifferent seal warden Bossa Tusk shed tears of excitement.

Their mission was to bring the two rectangular metal boxes to this world. My Lord might need them to create new warriors; judging from the ancient Gothic characters and labels engraved on their surfaces, the two metal boxes respectively contained a technological device from the dark technological era and ancient genetic technology belonging to that era.

"Cadia will be destroyed one day in the future, and the surging waves of the warp will turn into a cursed scar that divides the entire galaxy in two, and the light of the Astronomican will not be able to shine on the other half of the empire;" My Lord said to me, "I believe you have foreseen this. The instability of the warp and a certain fate-like inevitability will make this inevitable and unstoppable. All you have to do now is to prepare for war."

I looked solemn. The ancient technological device "Time Shackles" on my waist did allow me to foresee a disaster, but I never thought it would be so serious. The fortress world with the most strict defense of the empire and the front line facing the eye of terror in the warp would be destroyed.

"After the legions here are formed, they will rush to that universe and fight side by side with you and more warriors," My Lord stroked my golden shoulder armor, "We will still experience a very long expedition."
