Warhammer: The Worst Start There Is (40k)

Chapter 537: The establishment of the Space-Time Administration encountered difficulties

Views:

Enslaved aliens and monsters, the surviving Ultra Forces, and the help of the fifth-stage database.

The Empire's military power in this universe has become extremely powerful.

He has become the most terrifying existence in the Ultra Universe.

Under Ryan's command, the dark forces led by Belia were defeated.

The Empire can not only maintain its advantage in its own theater of war, but also send support to other theaters of war.

Send those monsters and aliens who serve as cannon fodder to other universes.

As the empire's influence expanded, coupled with the inheritance of Ultra civilization and the ancient knowledge left by aliens.

Sage Sigma gradually pieced together the reasons for the birth of Ultra and solved some of the mysteries of this universe.

There is no doubt that Ultraman is extremely powerful, and he can easily give a mortal the power of a god.

A civilization capable of creating such a road is incredibly powerful.

I'm afraid it has reached the level where it can cross different universes without the help of roads.

More terrifying than the current empire.

From a mortal's perspective, the Empire is the most terrifying existence they can come into contact with.

But from the perspective of the universe, the empire is just a small force in a remote corner that is not worth mentioning.

Many of the universes that the Empire currently contacts are in decline or polluted.

For example, the decayed Universe 04 and the polluted Universe 01.

The only two universes that can truly confront and fight the Empire are the Reincarnation Game and the one where the Supreme God exists.

There must be more terrifying existences in the vast universe.

There must be a civilization in the universe that is more powerful than the human empire.

Ultra power is a special application of the power of the subspace.

Sigma Sage found similar transformation mechanisms on several Ultra Stars.

The Spark Tower of the Kingdom of Light, the Trial Ring of Ultra Star No. 077, they can both transform the power of the subspace into Ultra power that can be easily controlled by mortals.

This method is very powerful.

Similar to the aura conversion mechanism of Universe 03.

The difference is that it converts the power of Ultra.

The aura conversion mechanism does not discriminate between users.

However, the Ultra transformation mechanism can distinguish between good and bad users.

They may even voluntarily abandon their host.

It seems to be intentionally cultivating the positive side of the subspace.

This is why the power of Ultra often chooses people who have courage, kindness, and firm beliefs.

The various wonderful qualities of the human body will constantly trigger the transformation mechanism of the subspace, making it more and more powerful.

The power of Ultra exists everywhere in the universe.

As long as you are recognized, you can become Ultraman.

But most of them are humans, and even if other races are recognized, they will become monsters.

Maybe it’s because it’s been a long time.

Something key was missing, causing the transformation mechanism to go awry, otherwise the Dark Giant wouldn't have appeared.

After obtaining this knowledge, Sage Sigma once again entered into in-depth research.

If possible, such technology can be absorbed and used to protect the empire.

Loyalty to the Empire, loyalty to the Holy Emperor, brings power and knowledge.

It’s just like those people gaining recognition from the power of Ultra and becoming Ultraman.

Sigma's research made Ryan's conquest work more successful.

The unification of the Ultra Universe is not a difficult task.

Like Universe 03, this is just a universe that is in continuous decay.

Dark forces have taken over large parts of the universe.

Various terrible demon planets can be seen everywhere.

This situation was difficult for the Ultra Force to resolve in the past.

But for the empire, it is very easy.

No matter how strong an individual is, he will be powerless in the face of an overall improving civilization.

This is the case with the dark forces headed by Belia.

They do not have perfect logistical support, and the lost personnel cannot be selected through excellent mechanisms.

Every war leaves them further weakened.

You know, even the four evil gods that the human empire fears need a large number of demons to show their power.

The bloody arena of Khorne and the circle trial of Slaanesh are both mechanisms for selecting powerful demons and replenishing manpower.

The dark forces in the Ultra Universe are basically composed of scattered soldiers and guerrillas who rely on individual military force to dominate.

Once individual military force loses its advantage, it's basically over.

It's only a matter of time before Ryan conquers the universe.

In time, the double eagle flag will fly in this universe, and the empire's territory will be included in another universe.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..

The emperor's supreme title.

Guilliman stood at the porthole, looking out at the sea of stars in the distance, with a rare trace of worry on his face.

"I'm a little worried about the child who was born with the help of virginity."

Belisarius Cole was silent for a moment before he spoke.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, right? Even if the child is born, it may not be a bad thing!

"Horus' betrayal is still fresh in my mind." Guilliman turned to look at Belisarius Cawl, "You've experienced it too, haven't you

Great sage, you also know what happened at that time!

Before Horus launched the rebellion, who would have thought that this warmaster, whose status was second only to my father, would defect to another camp."

Belisarius Cole sighed.

When the Empire was about to enter a new era, Horus stabbed the heart of the Empire with one sword, turning the hard work of hundreds of millions of people into nothing.

If something like this happens again, how sad and desperate it will be!

The rebellion that is set off will also shake the heavens!

Even the Horus Heresy pales in comparison.

"Your Majesty, what do you plan to do? Kill the child? If so, I will instruct the Assassin's Court to accomplish this task without leaving any files or traces." Belisarius Cowl's voice was mechanical and cold.

"Have you heard the story of Oedipus?" Guilliman said with a worried look on his face.

Belisarius Cole paused for a moment, giving himself some time to search the database.

He soon found this story from ancient Terra in the literary classification.

A typical tragic story of fate.

The story tells that Laingos is the son of the king of Thebes. Because of a coup, his father died tragically, his guardian was killed by political enemies, all power of the king of Thebes was taken away, and he was hunted down by political enemies.

Lainus was forced to surrender to the rebel, Tantalus' son, the legendary hero, Pelops, and became the tutor of his son.

However, Lainus fell in love with this beautiful boy, which eventually led to tragedy.

Pelops was heartbroken and angry, believing that it was Laingos who betrayed him and caused the death of his beloved son.

He cast a curse upon it.

Laingos would be killed by his own son.

And his son will marry his mother.

Some unexpected events allowed Laingos to return home and become king again.

He was terrified by the curse and dared not have sex with his wife.

But after getting drunk one night, he had sex with his wife, and eventually Oedipus was born.

In fear, Laingos abandoned his son into the mountains, hoping to avoid the prophecy.

Who would have thought that Oedipus was rescued by a shepherd, became the adopted son of the King of Corinth, and became the legal heir.

The temple priests predicted that he would kill his father and marry his mother. Fearing that the prophecy would come true, the filial Oedipus exiled himself and vowed never to return.

Oedipus went to Thebes, and the king at that time, Oedipus's biological father, was preparing to go to the Temple of Delphi to seek the oracle and repel the Sphinx, a monster with a lion's face and a human body.

The other party blocked the road in the city of Thebes and asked people to solve a riddle.

What is the animal that walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening

If the knot could not be untied, the Sphinx would devour the residents of the city.

The father and son, who did not know each other, met on the road and a conflict broke out. In the end, Oedipus killed the king of Thebes, who was also his father.

After Oedipus entered the city of Thebes, he solved the other party's riddle.

He saved the city of Thebes and was elected king by the city's residents. He married his mother and had two daughters and two sons.

When the truth was revealed, the distressed Oedipus blinded himself, and his biological mother committed suicide out of shame.

This story tells the tragedy of fate.

Laingos, who wanted to avoid fate, finally made his fate come true.

This was the reason why Guilliman did not kill the child born from the virginity.

The empire has become powerful enough to control the fate of weaker civilizations and individuals.

For example, the Dharma-Ending Device can do this easily.

However, the more deeply one analyzes fate, the more one can perceive the horror within it.

It is so complex that it permeates the entire universe.

The more powerful you are, the more you are trapped in your fate.

"Then should we leave the child alone?" asked the great sage.

Guilliman shook his head. "I plan to take the child away from his mother and block all news about it. Some ancient heroes have returned. They have a deeper understanding of fate and may be able to teach this child and guide him onto a new path."

"Which heroic spirit do you plan to let teach that child?" asked the great sage.

"Malcador." Guilliman said the name he had been considering for a long time.

This old man who assisted Emperor Zuo in establishing the empire is perhaps the one who cares most about humanity besides the emperor.

Guilliman had long planned to reincarnate Malcador.

But the other party's soul was too broken, and it would be very problematic if he were to reincarnate rashly.

Guilliman had no choice but to give up.

Let Malcador take on the task of guiding the other loyal spirits.

Through this process, Malcador was able to recover his fragments.

That was pretty much it for Malcador's soul by now.

If only the Emperor could return, his soul would be complete.

For now, reincarnation is possible, but you cannot use too powerful spiritual power.

Allowing Malcador to guide the child was the best solution Guilliman could come up with.

He didn't want to learn from the Eldar to deliberately stop the so-called prophecy or destiny.

Who knows if it will create another Angron tragedy.

Even if this child was destined to kill him one day, Guilliman would accept it calmly.

Nothing is eternal in this world.

Even if he is the supreme ruler of the empire.

This iron rule will not change.

Deliberately pursuing eternity will only make everything worse.

Eternity, in a sense, means stagnation.

Stagnation is the most terrifying thing for a civilization.

After hearing Guilliman's arrangement, Belisarius Cawl did not have any objection, but just talked about another matter.

"The structure of the Spacetime Administration has been completed, and it is initially classified as a subordinate unit of the Inquisition. The list of relevant personnel is recommended by the major Inquisition Orders."

A data screen appeared in front of Guilliman. He only took a glance at it, then wrote down and classified all the information.

He was about to say something when he suddenly remembered something and looked at it again.

He pointed his finger at the name he wanted to see.

Sherlock Holmes

Recommended by High-ranking Inquisitor Vincent Horn to become an investigator of the Space-Time Administration.

"Is there anything wrong with this name?" asked Belisarius Cole.

Guilliman shook his head.

"No problem, let's do it."

The problem of time travelers is actually very serious in the universe, even rampant.

The Warp is one, and the Universe is but an island in the ocean of Aether.

When a living being dies, its soul enters the warp.

Those who have faith will enter the realm of faith.

Those without faith will wander around.

There are always some souls that will be swept by the ether currents to other universes and then be reborn.

Don't think that such things are incredible and mysterious.

I feel that there should be complete rules between universes, and that everything in the universe should be arranged well!

In fact, this idea is nonsense.

Nothingness is the most normal state of the universe!

It’s like when human civilization was just born, people could migrate freely, build houses anywhere they wanted, and as long as their fists were strong enough, they could steal other people’s things, steal other people’s wives, and even commit adultery with their husbands.

Private property will not appear at the birth of the country, and a group of hypocrites will not appear who shout that the law is sacred and cannot be violated.

The more civilization develops, the more rules emerge.

The same is true of the universe; it just exists.

Just like a piece of paper, the evolution of the universe, the growth of evil gods, and the development of civilization are all drawn on this piece of paper.

Make the universe more and more colorful.

It also makes the subspace more and more turbid.

The existence of nothing is taken for granted; the non-existence of things is taken for granted.

The Space-Time Administration is the fence that the empire built for its own territory to prevent the empire's development from being disrupted by time travelers.

This department was bound to be established as the empire developed.

As civilization advances, the empire comes into contact with more of the universe, and existing departments are completely unable to adapt and cannot take on so many functions.

"How is the progress of the gamification of the universe going?" Guilliman asked about another matter.

"The theory is basically complete, and we are selecting new universes for experiments. If all goes well, it will be put into practice soon."

Guilliman nodded.

"Hurry up and make progress. If we can gamify the entire universe, the empire's selection mechanism will be more fair and just."
