Charon raised his eyes and looked at Pluto walking towards him from the darkness.
… No, it was not that he was in the darkness, but that the darkness followed him.
It's like fog.
The surging darkness gently hit their five senses like a tide, and fear and suffocation were thin vines that curled up and climbed, wrapping around their sobbing necks. In the surging darkness, emerald green eyes floated in the air, and green tears dripped into the empty air.
As the eyes moved, the sound of tiny metal knocking could be heard, like the bell on the gravekeeper's waist, making the darkness here seem even quieter.
In the darkness, the scarlet light penetrated everything and was staring at him.
Charon still stood there motionless. He could not see Pluto's face clearly. He was immersed in the darkness, which reminded him of other great existences. The dazzling golden light also blurred people's vision as they tried to distinguish.
But Charon still judged the success of the operation by the sound of Pluto's footsteps and his body shape - even though the anxious scientists extended the operation time countless times.
As far as Charon knows, the transformation of Hades mainly involves the replacement and addition of organs.
The first is the [Original Heart]. The original heart is removed and replaced with three hearts that have undergone resonance experiments. The cooperation of these hearts will accelerate the blood flow rate. At the same time, the heart closest to the injured area will automatically reduce blood flow until the wound heals.
Then there is the Blessed Circulator, a tiny organ attached to the heart that secretes specific hormones. These slightly sticky hormones will flow with the blood, precipitate and attach to the blood vessel walls, and be absorbed by the blood vessels.
These hormones will stimulate the thickening of blood vessels and blood vessel walls. At the same time, several special secretory cells will be embedded in the blood vessels to secrete detoxifying substances or hormones that force people to be excited or calm.
In an emergency, these blood vessel walls can also break down themselves to produce large numbers of oxygen-carrying blood cells.
With the passage of time, Hades' blood circulation throughout his body will be greatly improved.
(Although scientists deeply doubted the necessity of this organ after witnessing the detoxification of Hades himself, they still installed it in the end, didn't they?)
[Steel Eater] absorbs various metal elements from food and generates muscle fibers mixed with organic matter, greatly improving strength and muscle endurance.
[Olfactory glands], given that during the physical examination, Hades' own taste system seemed to have a slight functional imbalance, he was unable to distinguish poisons or other information through taste. As compensation, scientists transplanted an organ that greatly enhanced his sense of smell. The glands secrete hormones to stimulate the growth of sensory cells.
(It is rumored that the genome of this organ was referenced by the Space Wolves)
Now, as long as he smells it, he will get the information in the wind.
…The cells throughout Hades’ body have also undergone major changes. Most of the cells he now possesses are completely incomparable to those of ordinary humans. These cell-accurate transformation projects have consumed a large amount of manpower and material resources.
But if they want to expand the black domain and prevent Hades himself from being backlashed by the black domain, then all this is worth it.
Charon waited. Next, he, Hefa, and the Sister of Silence, Herrera, would introduce to Hades the team that Malcador had prepared for the Master of the Order of Silence. They were:
A mecha trooper.
Three teams of untouchable infantry equipped with [Armor of Nirvana], mostly men, led by several silent sisters.
A group of wandering knights, and the knight squires who assist them, all of whom are controlled by untouchables.
And... the right to invoke the Psionic Titan.
The Psychic Titan is powered by three psychics whose movements are restricted, and its commander is a powerful male Untouchable. Its presence can generate a large-scale psychic phenomenon, causing unimaginable mental shock to the enemy.
At the same time, the Desolation Cannon mounted on the Psionic Titan can use the psychic power of the psychic to tear a subspace rift in the material world, just like a vortex weapon, and the enemy will be sucked into the subspace by the disordered subspace turbulence.
The existence of these Titans remains a secret within the Imperium, with none but the highest orders knowing of their existence.
… This time, Magic Pattern Malcador really invested enough capital in Hades.
Charon thought silently.
The darkness fell like the dusk, and Pluto came over, his facial features covered with black veil, and his deep eyes looked towards the equipment room behind Charon.
Charon stared at Hades who was smiling with surprise, while Hades was still saying, "Old Ma, you didn't cheat me."
As a conscientious guard of the throne, he should next advise Hades to always turn on his black aura and reduce unnecessary words.
——————
[Hades.]
Mortarion muttered to himself.
There was no response, so Mortarion repeated it several times in his mind.
Still no response.
A feeling of confusion and being fooled came over me. What was going on
The Lord of Death sat casually, supporting his face with his arms. In front of him were Kirkland and Ugo, who had been summoned urgently.
Mortarion thought about it, then hesitated and said in his mind,
[For... Hades? For Hades.]
Still no response.
Mortarion's patience began to wear thin, and he spoke.
[Ugo, I can't detect any of the feeling you're talking about.]
Ugo, who was called, swallowed his saliva and spoke hesitantly.
"My Lord... maybe your emotions are not correct. The Sea of Awareness values emotions... You need... emotions."
"Generally speaking, the more solemn the event, the more difficult it is for people to calm down after the event, and the more it will evoke the resonance of the subspace."
It was difficult for Mortarion to do this, as all he thought about Hades was when he would return, or the worry that he might die on the battlefield... or the hatred he felt for Malcador.
But no matter which one it was, it was not the emotion that Ugo was referring to - Ugo did not say it clearly to the Primarch, but the Primarch heard what he had not finished saying.
Respect, awe, fear
Or to put it more generally, faith.
How could Mortarion have such emotions towards a being that often hijacked his dinner? The servitor would pass by Hades' office first, and then Mortarion would receive an empty tray.
Kirkland stood smugly, watching the Primarch's silence and attempts, which he knew were doomed to fail.
Only mortals can have gods. Even demigods cannot have their own gods.
Because the gods are too arrogant, the laurel wreaths on their heads prevent them from learning to bow their heads and pray.
Mortarion glanced up at Kirkran calmly, and the Primarch spoke hoarsely,
[You have concealed it before. I will give you one last chance. How did you awaken Hades's Black Domain? And... After knowing this, why did Hades forbid you to continue doing this? ]
Kirkland bowed deeply.
[We will follow your wishes and never deceive you.]
So he opened his mouth and began to praise Hades, praising the god surging beneath his human skin. As he spoke, he emphasized that awe, piety, and the fear brought about by mystery and distance are the essence of prayer.
Mortarion showed an impatient expression.
Yay!
