Chapter 205: The Great Difference
Lin Heng stopped the excited Zachli. It was no wonder that the other party reacted so violently. He himself was also shocked when he saw the sect leader.
The other party's appearance was so evil that it was almost unspeakable, and the dangerous smell was concealed by his weird body.
“Since I let you two in, I have no intention of taking action, so I hope you two will abide by the agreement.
And you, presumably, are the one who discovered the problem, may I know your name?
Of course, let me introduce myself. My name is Bagge, and I am the patriarch of the Four-Armed Emperor Sect of Noshimo Star. "
Bagge is about two meters tall and a bit bloated, completely unlike the streamlined figures of other first-generation species.
He didn't speak like a Zerg leader, but rather like the lord of some hive world, and when he introduced himself, he even made some chest-stroking gestures.
Compared with the other person's appearance, he seems very contradictory, like a bug that has been to school.
“My name is Lin Heng, I’m a scout of the Fire Covenant Chapter, and this is Zakli Think Tank.
I want to ask, you activated the will of the hive, but you didn't mean to harm me, are you just letting me see it?" Lin Heng stepped forward and asked.
"What do you think is the essence of the hive mind?" said Chief Bagge.
Lin Heng opened his mouth and said, "It is swallowing."
"That's right..." Bag nodded. "The Hive Mind has another name in the mouths of you humans - the Great Devourer.
I let you see the image of the Great Devourer so that you can better understand what I said next. I just didn't expect that you actually saw it. That's even better, because it proves that I didn't lie to you."
This was the moment Lin Heng and Zachley were waiting for. It was already outrageous enough that the Space Marines and Genestealers did not fight when they met.
And now, the two sides are chatting relatively friendly. If this were to get out, I'm afraid the Inquisitor would travel through the subspace without stopping to shoot them.
When Chief Bagh saw that the two of them had calmed down, he also sat down and said:
"In fact, the Four-Armed Divine Emperor sect that I lead is considered a sect that believes in the Emperor of Mankind."
There was silence. Lin Heng thought there was something wrong with his ears, so he quickly looked at the Zakli Think Tank, only to find that the other person's expression was exactly the same as his own, completely confused.
“Ahem…Hahahahahaha, you damn alien, you are so shameless that you lied about your faith in the great Emperor. Why don’t you say that you are the Emperor’s descendant!
Just because of your words that defame the Emperor, I should fight to the death to kill you, this filthy bug. It is really a great insult!"
Zachley was so angry.
Zachary released his spiritual energy again, and this time Lin Heng hurriedly stopped him. If he had known earlier, he would not have let the think tank follow him. Of course, these words did make his head buzz.
"We are not allowed to joke around. This, this, this... I guessed a lot of results, but I didn't expect you to be a loyalist. This, this, this... Isn't this funny!"
Lin Heng actually wanted to say to me, "Brother, you believe in splits. How can a bug like you believe in Kaidi? You are too rebellious."
I was wondering why you were cooperating so well with the selection. Turns out you were doing this to contribute to the empire!
While the two were brainstorming, Chief Bag sighed:
"That's why I let you see the Hive Mind.
Devouring, endless devouring, when I awakened the ability to connect to the Great Devourer's tentacle fleet.
Every day, every hour, every minute, and every second, all I feel is an endless desire to devour. This desire does not distinguish between friend and foe, it only cares whether there is food or not.
I understand the loneliness behind this so-called beautiful dream. We, the vanguard, are just beacons sending signals.
When we successfully captured a planet and connected to the hive mind, the drifting hive fleet understood that this was the order to eat.
They will swarm in and devour the planet completely, even the bacteria and archaea will be sucked out, and finally Nostromo will become a bare dead star.
As a group of us who have occupied the planet, under the influence of the hive mind, we, along with the planet, will be transformed into biomass to replenish the energy of the ships.
Because we are all bastards, unworthy of leaving with the real Zerg fleet, so the arrival of the so-called hive mind represents our demise."
"Yarema!"
The Tyranids are really cool in playing this trick of killing the donkey after it has done its job!
Lin Heng didn't expect that the advance army would be devoured in the end. It was too disheartening to hear.
Although Lin Heng was not a Zerg and did not know whether the other party had any sense of shame, this situation really shocked him.
Looking back at the priest, he also looked very serious. It seemed that he was unaware of the situation of the Zerg.
"Everything is the influence of the hive mind, coupled with the unique genetic modules of the Zerg, which led to the Genestealers.
Since birth, it has received its own orders, namely, to build a beautiful home and transform the genetic modules of all living things.
When the clarion call of uprising was sounded, everyone rose up, occupied the entire planet, and sent signals to welcome the arrival of the Zerg.
I should have been the patriarch who delivered the message, but perhaps something unexpected happened in my gene module, awakening some thoughts that shouldn't have appeared.
But it made me see the essence of things, and it made me realize that the Great Devourer was a false dream for us.
Whether it is humans, modified humans, or generations of us, we are all consumable materials.
Therefore, I don’t want my fellow people to work hard for such a lie and sacrifice their whole lives for the so-called beauty.
They deserve better!"
"hiss..."
Lin Heng's scalp went numb. This person... No, this insect actually had the same idea as him. Damn it, the empire was no different from the insect swarm in some ways.
"This is... incredible, I have to record it!"
As Librarian Zakli spoke, he opened his shoulder armor, took out a piece of parchment and began to record what happened.
Lin Heng was still a little overwhelmed at this time, as this was really beyond his expectations.
The swarms of insects who saw the darkness of the swarm abandoned their beliefs and turned to pray to the gods of rations.
So...the so-called Chaos Space Marines and the rebellious Primarchs, did they also turn to believe in evil gods because they witnessed the darkness of the Empire?
Lin Heng thought this was possible, but the inside story must have a deeper meaning.
"I know that you and I are like water and fire. Even if I serve the Emperor with all my heart, we will never become one family.
But I don't want to be your enemy, so I will let Darwin contact any arrival of Imperial ships and any garrison of Imperial organizations.
We try to satisfy as many needs as possible, and just seek a place for our sect to survive.
In order to control the population, I even issued an order prohibiting the arbitrary transformation of humans. If you want to become one of us, you need to obtain the grace of the God-Emperor.
Of course, you must have guessed that this is to use state religion to control their thoughts and prevent them from having wild thoughts. Although this will destroy their sense of freedom, it is something we absolutely need to do. "
Lin Heng understood. No wonder these young people were like religious believers. It seemed that they were arranged to learn the adapted doctrines since birth.
It was just to deal with the war group, so those teenagers were subjected to more intense brainwashing. Although Lin Heng could understand the necessity of doing so.
"Avoid being discovered as abnormal, but... there is no sacrifice that cannot be accepted, right?" Lin Heng said helplessly.
Chief Bag nodded and said:
"Yes, although I am lying to everyone, I think it is a white lie."
Lin Heng suddenly had the urge to persuade the other party that you have no right to arrange other people's paths, they should be free to choose their own paths, but after thinking it over he decided it would be better not to say it.
"You did a great job. If there were more Zerg like you, the galaxy might be a lot quieter."
"Hahaha... If I were discovered by the Zerg, I would be labeled a traitor, but I just want my friends to live a better life..."
Lin Heng and the others could hear the sighing tone in Chief Bag's voice. The ideal they fought for was indeed a wedding dress for others. If the empire also did the same, they didn't know how other people would feel.
"Okay, that's my situation. Now I should tell you why you came back."
Zachli looked at Lin Heng, who shrugged and exhaled:
“You are right, I am indeed an unusual one in the regiment, so what I say may be beyond your expectations.
I think we can cooperate and fight against the next group of orc ships together."
"Orc fleets? There are no obvious signs of orc activity in the galaxy where Noshimo is located. What's going on with the orc fleets?"
Chief Bagge was obviously a little excited, and it seemed that he was also aware of the danger of the orcs.
“I won’t go into further details. Through my psychic powers, I learned that fourteen orc ships of various sizes are heading towards the planet Noshimo.
Their goal is to provoke war on the planet so that their Ork boys can become stronger and stronger so that they can go to Terra and destroy the Holy Emperor."
"Oh!"
Chief Bagh pounded the armrests, stood up suddenly and cursed:
"Damn alien! If there is a god with a conscience in the galaxy, then perhaps only the God Emperor can be called one.
The orcs attempted to use Noshimo as a springboard to launch an expedition to Holy Terra. The believers on that planet will let them know what the inviolability of the God-Emperor's majesty means!
Darwin!
The governor heard the order and trotted up from outside the house, bowed and said:
"Patriarch, what are your instructions?"
“Tell the people of the two tribes that the enemy is coming and they are facing a great enemy. For the sake of the Four-Armed Divine Emperor, everyone should prepare to fight.
Let all women, old and young go into the underground shelters immediately to preserve the spark of hope.
Gather the leaders of the Imperial sectors immediately, it is time to pledge your loyalty to the God-Emperor!"
