My Life as A Death Guard

Chapter 44: 42. When the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is a good time to send a sickle

Endurance, Space Marine's personal room.

Now.

.

In the standard room of Space Marines, Hades was sitting at the workbench, thinking.

After persuading Mortarion to go back to work, Hades returned to his lounge.

He first tried to sense his black area again, but found that it could only expand to the skin layer.

It's like being imprisoned.

Regarding the Black Domain, Hades plans to find some information about the Untouchables later. After all, in his memory before traveling through time, the Untouchables did not have the same performance as Hades' Black Domain.

Putting aside his doubts about the Black Domain for the moment, Hades focused his attention on his electronic left brain.

As his attention focused, Hades discovered that his left brain was like a computer.

He can independently control the storage of memories in it, take them out, and even destroy them.

Hades touched his electronic brain again and unexpectedly found several different sockets behind the left side of his brain.

It should be prepared for the future control of machinery

There was already a hard disk on one of the sockets. Hades pulled it out and found that it was something similar to a USB flash drive. He could choose to store memories and knowledge in it.

So convenient?!

Doesn't that mean Hades can just plug the hard drive full of knowledge directly into the socket in his left brain and master this knowledge

At the same time, Hades can also pile a large amount of calculations into this half of the brain, realizing the differences in thinking and calculations between the left and right sides of the brain.

What surprised Hades a little was that functions such as the brain stem that control the basic functions of the body were compensated by the strengthened right half of the brain, while the left brain did not have these functions.

In other words, the electronic brain on the left is currently a brain-type computer, which is helpful for learning, memory, calculation, and connecting and controlling machines.

This is like the electronic brain that the Mechanicus installed for the oilmen.

But what Hades didn't know was that the computing power and efficiency of his electronic brain far exceeded those of the Mechanicus.

After failing to obtain any more information from the electronic brain, Hades tried to focus on his left eye.

As expected, this left eye has built-in perspective capabilities.

As for night vision? The modified Space Marines can see everything in the dark with their naked eyes.

In addition, the images seen by the left eye can be directly stored in the electronic left brain and called out when needed.

Unfortunately, when Hades tried it, he found that his left eye couldn't shoot out lasers in a cool way.

Maybe in the future he can transform his left eye and left brain himself

Hades thought.

Time passed quickly as Hades explored his electronic brain and electronic eyes.

Because Hades had just begun to consciously control the electronic brain, the time spent increased unknowingly.

It was already one o'clock in the morning, and even for a Space Marine, it was time to go to bed.

Hades stood up from his workbench and walked to the bed to rest.

Although I don't know the answer to my physical condition yet, this is not a pressing matter at the moment—

"Thump, thump, thump"

The doorbell rang at the door, interrupting Hades' thoughts.

A robot servant slowly pushed the door open.

"Hello, Lord Hades. Please change into the i3 combat suit immediately and go to the reception room No. 508 of Beta on the 36th floor."

The i3 battle suit is not a suit designed specifically for combat. Rather, it is more of a ceremonial suit designed for Space Marines who are not wearing power armor.

When a Space Marine is unable to wear armor for some reason (or is a new recruit who has not yet been armored), but needs to attend some formal occasions, he will wear this suit.

Someone wants to see me

Hades quickly changed his clothes and followed the servitor out of the room, walking into the empty corridor. It was 1:36 in the morning standard Terra time, which was already the sleeping time for the Space Marines, and the lights in the corridor were dimmer than before.

When they arrived at the destination, the robot servant bowed and opened the door for Hades.

Hades walked through the door.

In an instant, an unusual feeling overwhelmed Hades' senses!

There was nothing in the empty, unfurnished room except for some flags hanging on the walls.

But at this moment, there were two teams of silent nuns and two imperial guards standing in the room!

Mortarion stood with his arms folded opposite the Custodians and the Sisters of Silence, and Captain Baratheon stood upright beside Mortarion.

The unusual aura that Hades just felt came from the Sister of Silence.

Just like water and oil, both are liquids, but have different natures and cannot mix with each other. At this moment, Hades felt that his black domain was not of the same origin as that of the Sister of Silence.

Even though they feel similar, their essence is different.

The entry of Hades broke the extremely cold confrontation in the room.

Mortarion, on the other hand, simply ignored the greetings from the Guards and the Sisters of Silence and simply nodded.

For Barasi who came with him, it was not right for him to salute or not to salute at this time.

Thinking that he would have to work under Mortarion in the future, Barasinn made up his mind and stood directly beside Mortarion, trying to convey his apology and respect to the imperial guards with his straight military posture.

Balazin is not one of those stubborn old soldiers. As a company commander, he had already learned how to be tactful when he was leading the legion and dealing with all kinds of people.

It was only a matter of time before the Legion recovered its Primarch, and he had been preparing for it.

I just don’t know how the new recruit will face this situation.

Barasin thought.

However, at this moment, Hades was completely attracted by the Sister of Silence's abilities. Compared to the Sister of Silence's weird aura, Hades didn't take the awkward atmosphere in the room seriously at all.

When the golden-armored guards saw Hades coming in, they didn't bother him any more. After all, when they came here before, they were already prepared for Mortarion's disrespect.

The guard nodded slightly to Hades and walked to the side. The sisters of silence behind him separated into a line. Finally, two sisters of silence came forward with their hands raised flat, holding a huge sickle.

The giant sickle was as black as night, with a curved sickle handle that seemed to have grown naturally. The blade was extremely sharp, gleaming slightly under the light. Tiny sharp teeth protruded from the blade like a chain saw, so sharp that one would feel as if they were being cut at a glance.

Some silver patterns cling to the junction of the sickle blade and the sickle handle, like a product of special craftsmanship. The patterns are like lightning lines, and at first glance, they seem to outline countless mountains and rivers.

This is a heavy chain saw sickle, but it is not a conventional sickle. The front of the sickle head is not an ordinary flat and blunt head, but an extremely sharp bayonet type.

The flat and blunt head of a general sickle, such as the "Destruction" in Mortarion's hand, is convenient for pressing it firmly into the opponent's flesh, working at full speed, with the chain saw roaring, sawing through the flesh!

The bayonet-like blade in Sister Silent's hand is more likely to be used to directly pierce the enemy's body and tear a bloody path like lightning.

"Death Guard Hades."

The guards spoke.

"Because you have performed so well in the liberation of Barbarus, I, by order of the Emperor, bestow upon you the blade of the Scythe."

Sister Silence looked at Hades and motioned for him to pick up the scythe.

Hades raised his hand and picked up the sickle -

In just a moment, the black area in Hades' body flowed into the black sickle like a rushing river. As if sensing the black area, the silver patterns on the sickle glowed faintly.

Seeing the Scythe's reaction, the Imperial Guards did not react at all, and their words remained calm.

"This sickle was originally kept by Sister Silent, but for various reasons, it has never met a good owner."

"I grant this to you today. I hope you will not fail my master. Hold this sickle and fight bravely for the empire to expand its territory."

Hades gripped the scythe tightly. The huge scythe was a little too big for Hades' current height.

It seemed that the matter had been concluded and they did not want to stay any longer. The Imperial Guards stood at attention again, with their power halberds pointed towards the sky, and the Sisters of Silence also lined up again.

"For the Emperor!"

At this point, even Mortarion lowered his folded arms and whispered,

"For the Emperor."

Hades, holding a huge scythe, was still standing there as if in a daze. The guards and the Sisters of Silence had already left.

"Keep it."

Seeing that Hades was still in a daze, Mortarion broke the silence.

Maybe the Emperor just likes to give weapons to others. Mortarion looked at the "Dark Lantern" on his waist, which was a pistol made with alien technology. The Emperor asked him what gift he wanted, and Mortarion chose it.

However, Hades still stared at the scythe as if he had lost his soul.

Too excited, I guess, Mortarion thought.

Hades stared at the sickle, and a strange sense of familiarity instantly crept into his heart.

"Obituary."

He thought suddenly.
