Hades realized that, in fact, not everyone would adapt well to his presence like Blake Butcher did.
Most people may be confused for a while about the gods that come out of the Holy Word.
The specific manifestation is that Barry the Lion woke up, and when he saw Hades, he fainted again due to shock.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Hades will increase the special attack of psychics. Hades is not clear about what he looks like in the eyes of psychics.
It might be something extremely difficult to accept.
It could also be because... Hades's original outfit was somewhat shocking.
When Barry fainted again, Hades asked Blake about the recent situation in the star field.
There is really nothing left on this planet, and Hades still hopes that he can find a planet with some metal resources to stay on.
At least Hades hoped that they could be discovered by the Empire as soon as possible, or specifically the Death Guard and the Ultramarines.
They are now in the Octares star field, on the side far away from the Empire, which has been captured by the Tyranids. Further out, the Tyranids are fighting fiercely with the Greenskins.
Across the front line where the greenskins are fighting against the Tyranids is the greenskins' territory, and beyond that is the territory of the human empire.
The star region they were in at the moment was originally the territory of the Human Empire, but had been eaten up by insects.
But it's possible that humans could still be surviving in this region, Black said.
Some human nobles or merchant fleets would drive their ships to escape from their own planets before the Tyranids surrounded the planet - as long as the route of the ships did not overlap with that of the Tyranids' main force, these people would have a high chance of survival.
Due to the shadow cast by the Tyranids across the Warp in this region, the surviving ships were unable to navigate the Warp and escape the region in time.
This means that there are likely human ships in this star region floating in the void, waiting for Terran to leave.
This also means that Hades and his crew can end their painful life of eating insects and drinking biomass early.
Hades obviously needs this.jpg
Anyway, Trazyn told him that it would be fine as long as it was where the Tyranids were wreaking havoc.
In order not to alarm Barry, their only remaining hope, Hardest deliberately left when Barry was about to wake up next time to look for metal resources again.
Blake sat next to Barry, giving psychological support to this lucky yet unlucky Tianshi.
Blake: Don't be afraid of what I'm going to say next.
BARRY: Scared.
After all, Blake was born the son of Hades, and the chapter would specifically train the warriors in communication skills. Although Blake obviously had not reached a qualified level in the chapter, it would be no problem for Blake to fool most people in the empire.
Hades realized that this kid Black seemed to be taking advantage of people's perception of him as stupid, so they lowered their guard against him and then deceived people.
This even includes deliberately saying some vague information, so that the other party will think that he is unreliable and infer the intelligence on their own - but in fact, this is what Blake wants the other party to think.
Because people will subconsciously believe the information they infer.
But when Hades deliberately set him up, Blake maintained the image of someone who was not really very smart.
Is this kid really stupid or just pretending to be stupid
Did he complete this operation subconsciously
Hades fell into deep doubt.
However - as long as he can work together with Hades to deceive people, Hades will think he is a good son of Pluto.
Finally, Hades, wearing a specially polished underworld armor, walked out of the forest and saw the celestial lion standing and performing the celestial eagle salute to him.
Hades was sure that the moment he saw him, the Tianshi think tank took a half step back without leaving a trace.
According to the Tianshi warrior, the Tyranid shadows in the warp are now moving quickly away from this area, so he can use psionic power to try to call the humans in this area.
But they don't have much time left. Once all the remaining Tyranid shadows in this area are gone, those wandering people may quickly warp out of here.
Hades decisively ordered the unfortunate think tank to immediately begin psychic calling on the surrounding human fleets.
He didn't let Barry reveal that there was a large Pluto here, firstly because Hades was afraid that words like "I am Qin Shi Huang, come and pick me up" would be too fake; secondly because...
In psychic communication, there is no word "Pluto" at all.
A psyker cannot "say" the word Pluto in psychic communication.
Barry told Hades that there might be ways to pronounce the word "Pluto" among the Mechanicus and the Death Guard, but at least most psychics are very shy about this meaning and symbol.
Looking at the expressionless face of the Celestial Lion, Hades said that it was hard for the psychic to dare to say that in front of Hades.
Hades had hoped to extract some more information from this think tank, but Barry needed to concentrate on making psychic calls, so Hades gave up the idea of harassing a psychic.
At the same time, in order for Barry to work better, Hades and Blake had to stay away from Barry every morning - at least so that the think tank's psychic power could not detect Hades.
Although Barry the Lion repeatedly assured that he would not make any mistakes under the gaze of Pluto, when Hades silently probed a little bit of the black domain... this stubborn think tank was disconnected from the Internet.
Every day, Hades and Blake leave as Barry the Lion watches, and the two search for usable metals among the ruins. Barry meditates in the open space, trying to contact other human ships.
They said they were looking for metal, but in fact it was more like two idle people hanging out.
Hades chatted with Blake and sometimes taught the axe-wielding Hades a few moves. The axe skills that Angron taught Hades came in handy.
After hearing that Blake was often bullied in the dueling cage, Hades specially taught Blake how to fight with an axe and a sickle.
During the chat with Blake, Hades' understanding of the empire became clearer.
In short, wars are breaking out in many places and sustainability is a pill.
Thanks to the training of the Son of Hades, Hades became increasingly aware that most of the Son of Hades' "non-war" training seemed to be waiting for his return - so that he could quickly integrate into the empire.
Hades felt more and more respect for Gold-306. He never thought that the unknown student servant on Mars would grow to such a height.
After the planet silently rotated four times, in the open space that was almost filled with junk metal, Barry lived up to everyone's expectations and finally contacted people from the outside world.
"It's Ms. Tis," Barry said in a steady tone, "Tianshi knows this brave lady. We once fought side by side to defend her hive from the Tyranids."
"Is it someone I know?" Hades glanced casually at the sky. He felt the signal from the old shuttle. "That's even better."
"Aswang?" Blake suddenly asked in a daze, "Mingzi once received an invitation from the ruler there."
Barry frowned. "The hive managed by Ms. Tis is the most peripheral hive on the planet Aswan. I think someone else has been invited from the Sons of Pluto."
Blake nodded, "It's an invitation from the Lord."
Barry's frown deepened, but only Blake saw it.
"What a coincidence," Hades commented, looking off into the distance with his head held high. "Hey! Here! Three o'clock! You're flying in the wrong direction!!!"
Finally seeing other living people, Hades thought he would have to survive in the wilderness and eat insects for several months. He couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.
A tired but majestic woman came out and stared at Hades in shock.
Behind her, an Ogryn bodyguard who didn't look very smart also came out. The moment he saw Hades, Ogryn screamed loudly.
Hades didn't say anything. Their designated diplomat Barry walked over and interrupted the noble's daze. Almost at the moment he saw Barry, Tis' eyes turned red.
"I thought you were all dead!"
Tis couldn't help but raise his voice, and a smile slipped out of Barry's tight mouth, "The Celestial Lion is immortal, thanks to the Emperor of God... and Hades."
Hades looked at the scene in front of him. It seemed that Barry was hiding something, but it was not a bad thing. At least this ride would be more comfortable.
Having both escaped death, the two men whispered a few words about each other's recent situation. Then, Barry turned sideways and Tis looked back.
Hades saw clearly that the noble was visibly startled when he saw Black's shoulder armor.
When he came to Hades, the poor man didn't dare to look at him directly, but just cast his eyes to the ground.
Tis looked like he was about to kneel down, so Blake quickly said, "Ma'am, the Eagle Salute will do."
Tis bowed hastily, "Excuse me, are you..." She swallowed, "Pluto?"
Hades spoke up, "I am, no need to be so formal."
Tis glanced at Hades quickly, then quickly lowered his eyes.
"Sir, I believe you are a hero. Please forgive me for being disrespectful... But... But you know, only with the certification of the state religion can we... confirm..."
Tis's voice became quieter. Tianshi stared at Tis with a frown in shock, seemingly unable to understand what she was saying.
Hades patted Blake's shoulder.
"Can we get the Sons of Pluto Chapter certified? Ma'am, I understand your difficulties - I just want to take a ride and stop eating bugs. If you are worried that someone on your ship or in the future will cause trouble for you, then we can change the statement. I am not necessarily Pluto."
Beside Hades, Blake muttered quietly, "By Hades... I never thought that one day it would be Hades' son who would confirm Hades' legitimacy."
Hades took his hand back and hit Blake on the back of his head.
"Besides," Hades said as gently as possible, "your friend Barry has helped us a lot, and we certainly won't make things difficult for his friends."
Tianshi was flattered by this statement. Barry had been using psychic powers intensively these past few days - on the one hand he hoped so, and on the other hand, deep in his heart, this unfortunate psychic wanted to get away from Pluto as soon as possible.
The nobles were generally very good at judging people, and it seemed as if they had a preliminary understanding of Hades' character. Tis then raised his head and looked at him in panic.
"My Lord, if you hadn't told me, I would have thought you were some wise and powerful Primarch."
"Why not Pluto?"
Hades asked,
Tis hesitated for a moment.
"You... said in the Holy Words that when Hades appears, the entire star field will fall into eternal night, the sun will be extinguished, the souls will be forever silent, and the underworld will be cold and ruthless, just like the eternal law."
"The Sacred Scriptures," Blake suddenly interrupted, "Father, your image in it is basically that no one survives once you appear."
"Yes," seeing the son of Hades speaking for her, Tis quickly agreed, "My lord, you are definitely a hero. I am willing to hand over my power and wealth to you, but - God..."
She swallowed.
"Sir, someone in my family is also a member of the Pluto Cult. You are indeed... a little different from what is described in the book."
Hades knew it, it was that he looked too much like a human, like a believer in the God-Emperor, and would never think that Neos' other avatars were the God-Emperor - to put it bluntly, he almost had special effects.
Hades blinked and looked up at the eternal sun. He couldn't extinguish the stars.
but…
"See if that's the case."
Under Hades' feet, there seemed to be rolling waves, and the water of Hades spread out and expanded endlessly.
Tis's legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees. Barry, who was beside her, pulled her up, but his face turned pale. Behind the noble, Ogrin opened his mouth wide and looked at Hades blankly.
Hades waved his hand and put away the black domain. "I don't need to be like this all the time, but they are indeed behind the version. I am Hades. If you are worried, I can change my identity and get on board."
Hades thought for a moment.
"Look... for a human of this size, I can be a smart-head Ogryn."
"Pluto, please forgive my intrusion!"
"My Lord, please don't do this—"
Des and Barry shouted at the same time, but their voices were drowned out by Ogryn behind them.
"Boss! I'll follow you!"
Ogrin fumbled to throw away the noble badge on his shoulder, "Boss lady, I want to resign!"
Hades smiled helplessly. Well, his current position was indeed not suitable for joking.
"You don't understand," Hades said, "I used to play this kind of joke on Mortarion, the god of death. Don't worry, it's not what you think. I don't intend to punish you."
"So can we get on board first? I think, if nothing unexpected happens, we'll still have time to get to know each other later."
Tis nodded, respectfully and cautiously made way,
She looked very frightened and her face turned pale, but she still kicked Ogrin's bodyguard hard, forcing him to stand still.
"Lord Hades, Tis Wood of Aswan, is at your disposal - I am willing to believe that you are Hades."
She still looked a little worried. Blake walked up to her and pointed at the Mingzi badge on his shoulder armor.
"Look here," Blake said, while Hades behind him was trying to squeeze in through the small hatch with difficulty. "Madam, I am the son of Hades, and he is my father. He is Hades. In the name of the son of Hades, don't worry."
"Ogryn, help me!"
"Here I come! The boss who is not my boss!"
Ogryn hurried to help push Hades in.
Blake continued to explain to Tispu in a serious manner the Fourteen Principles of the Son of Hades's Treatment of Mortals, trying to prove that they treated mortals better than salamanders.
Tis gave a bitter smile. She was originally just excited that Tianshi was still alive, and they had an extra layer of security... But now...
She couldn't help but let out a breath of foul air.
If he is really Hades... No... Even if he is not, the son of Hades can...
The undead on the ship were all saved.
… Very good.
The engine started. Since Tis looked unhappy and was unwilling to say more, Hades curled up in the narrow cabin and began to teach Ogryn to count from one to ten with great interest, while also instructing the pilot how to avoid turbulence.
