as a result of
You can only talk about the consequences after you win, why would you consider the consequences after you lose
What we need is to do it.
Either you are killed by chaos, or you kill chaos.
There always has to be someone who gets pinned to the ground and trampled on.
Guilliman didn't want to be the one being bullied.
"Thank you for your trust." The voice of Kohl's clone sounded, revealing a rare hint of emotional fluctuation.
"Anything else you want to tell me?" Guilliman asked.
"The Archmagus recruited a group of suitable people, and they began to study supernatural powers. However, a group of Grey Knights who came to Macragge from the warp storm opposed this. They did not want Macragge to conduct any form of supernatural research, as it would easily lead to corruption of the entire world."
"Grey Knights?" Guilliman groaned for a moment before looking up. "Their concerns are not without reason, but the study of supernatural forces is of vital importance. The Warp has been invading the real world, and we have too few means to deal with them. For a long time, humans have been in a passive position. The worship of Chaos, in many cases, also stems from humans' helplessness against the demons of the Warp."
Warp demons possess a variety of bizarre abilities and are immortal.
It is no secret that demons can harm humans.
However, there are still countless people who worship the subspace and pursue demons. This is worth reflecting on.
People always have a very strange characteristic, which is that they feel awe and inexplicable emotions towards things that they cannot defeat, cannot deal with, and will hurt themselves.
This is called Stockholm syndrome.
This symptom may be mild or severe in those who have weak wills and are unable to distinguish right from wrong.
Some children who are mentally abused by their parents and occasionally receive some rewards are often very filial.
Many employees are abused by their bosses for PUA in the workplace, and they think that others are being nice to them because of some small favors. They believe that after wandering for half their lives, they have finally met a wise boss.
There are many such situations.
Only those who are strong-minded and know how to protect their own interests can avoid falling into such misconceptions.
The same is true for the devil. Many people are afraid of the devil and terrified of the devil, but when the devil tempts them, they think the devil is a good thing.
Guilliman wants to change humanity, not only to change humanity's cowardly nature, but also to break humanity's long-standing perception that they are afraid of demons.
Let the people of the empire know that demons can also die, can also feel fear, and are afraid of extinction.
The study of supernatural powers is inevitable.
Only by studying those supernatural powers can we understand the mechanism by which demons corrupt humans and come up with appropriate countermeasures.
"Move the supernatural research project to a planet with few people, and invite the Grey Knights to station there. We cannot be ignorant of our enemies. If they refuse to carry out this order, then tell them that this is an order from the Imperial Regent and they must obey it."
Guilliman said solemnly.
He will not compromise on this matter. The research on supernatural powers must continue. Only by understanding the nature of demons can there be hope of defeating the subspace.
"I conveyed your thoughts." Kaul's clone said, "From your technology, the Mechanical Sage found another technical path to maintain interstellar communication, that is, dark matter communication. This technology allows us to continue to maintain superluminal communication without relying on the subspace. It's just that the knowledge about dark matter in the technology you provided is too little. He asked if you have collected any related knowledge?"
"No, that technical knowledge is extremely valuable, and I don't have much." Guilliman shook his head. He couldn't say that his cheat code hadn't been unlocked to the second stage yet! !
It’s fine for you to just keep the Golden Finger information to yourself; there’s no need to spread it to the whole world.
"This is the end of the message from the Archmagus. I will begin encoding your orders and sending them to the Archmagus. You agree that he can conduct more research on Space Marines, and are willing to grant corresponding authority to relocate the supernatural research project to an uninhabited planet and invite the Grey Knights to be stationed there. You also do not have the dark matter technology knowledge he needs."
"Please confirm the relevant information."
"Yes, that is the information," said Guilliman.
The sound of machinery running rang out again, making a crackling sound.
A simplified code is generated and sent to Macragge to be received by the Archmagos.
After completing the relevant work, the humming sound of the machine decreases and the flashing indicator lights in the current path and data path go out.
The head in the glass case twitched one last time, its facial muscles relaxed, its eyes closed, and it quietly immersed itself in the golden nutrient solution.
Panels on the wall slid up, hiding the heads.
Everything returned to the way it was when he came in.
Guilliman did not leave immediately, but stood there, thinking about his next step.
Today, the Ultramar sector has many problems left over from history.
The invasion of the Terran Zerg and the Green Orcs left behind a large number of remnants, who are still active everywhere today.
A portion of the Necrons dynasty also revived near Ultramar.
These issues must be addressed.
Only in this way can Guilliman obtain a stable rear and provide him with sufficient troops and war machines.
Guilliman was not just thinking about the problems of Ultramar. No matter how bad the situation was here, it would be restored to peace through the conquest by himself and other heroes of the Empire.
In half a year at most, all the wars in Ultramar will be settled.
Guilliman's mind was more focused on other areas of the Empire.
The Empire divides the Milky Way into several parts: the Halo Star Region, the Hazy Star Region, the Ghoul Star Region, the Extreme Star Region, the Far Eastern Frontier, the Pacific Star Region, the Storm Star Region, and the Solar Star Region.
The Halo Star Region, the Hazy Star Region, the Ghoul Star Region, and the Far Eastern Frontier were all blocked from the light of the Astronomican by the Great Rift, forming the dark side of the empire.
The Extreme Star Region where Ultramar is located has also been affected by the Great Rift, with parts of it on the Astronomican side and the Dark Side of the Empire.
Macragge was fortunate enough to be on the side illuminated by the Imperial Astronomican.
Although the subspace navigation on this side is difficult, it can still be used.
But Guilliman still felt a deep sense of crisis. Relying on the Emperor's Astronomican for navigation was always unsafe.
Humanity needs some completely new means to complete navigation in the warp and maintain the normal operation of the Empire's routes.
Guilliman mentally filed away what he was going to do.
First: Restore peace in the Ultramar sector, implement your own new system, and create a logistics sector with a constant supply of blood.
Second: Find a way to navigate smoothly in the warp and enhance the mobility of the Imperial Army.
Third: Support Cawl in researching the mass production technology of Primaris Space Marines and dark matter communication technology.
Fourth: Build a powerful army for unyielding expeditions.
Fifth: Balance the old aristocracy and the new system, and strive to implement your new system in the empire as quickly as possible.
Sixth: Look for opportunities to attack other rebellious Primarchs and strike first to gain the upper hand.
Guilliman sorted out recent events and listed his plans and goals.
The order of events is not a priority, but a serial number.
Guilliman cannot finish one thing before moving on to another.
It's not like playing a game. You can finish one task before completing the next one.
Even if he wanted to, the rebellious primarchs would not let him complete his plan so step by step.
It will definitely jump out and cause trouble from time to time.
He can only continue to push forward these plans and then deal with any unexpected events that may arise.
By the way, Mortarion's taunt has already been released, I wonder if he has taken action yet.
According to what he knew about the plot, this guy would definitely not be able to tolerate it and would definitely take action.
If it were realistic, he would be a little unsure.
Unfortunately, there are no spies in the Warp, and there is no way to grasp the dynamics of the gods, so Guilliman can only grope in the dark.
We have to find a way to resolve this situation.
Demons can support human traitors, so why can't the Empire support demon traitors
It is said that some Inquisitors will cooperate with the less evil demons in the Warp and hire those demons to do things for them in exchange for rewards.
As the Regent of the Empire, Guilliman cannot do such a thing. If it gets out, his reputation will be ruined.
"I have to find a white glove." Guilliman rubbed his chin. He had to find a few radical inquisitors to serve him.
Otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to be completely in the dark about the enemies in the subspace.
There are three Imperial Inquisitions: the Inquisition for Aliens that targets other races, the Inquisition for Heretics that targets different beliefs of the Ecclesiarchy, and the Inquisition for Demons that target the Warp.
Like the Mechanicus, the Inquisition today also has conservatives and radicals.
Conservatives believe that all aliens and demons should die, no matter where, why, or under what circumstances, they should be killed with one shot.
The radicals believe that aliens and demons should be divided into different levels according to the threat, and they should find ways to unite with the lower-level ones, kill the higher-level ones, and then kill the lower-level ones.
Guilliman felt that he could make use of the radicals.
