"Thank you, then I'm not polite."
Thanks, Fabius picked up a fruit and found it was hot, just like he had just taken it out of the fire, soft on the outside and still firm in the center.
He took a bite and the flesh was so hot that it twitched his tongue and the corners of his mouth, but it wasn't cooked anyway, it was naturally in this state, but it was absolutely delicious.
After a few bites, he reached out and grabbed the golden barbecue, and bit it voraciously. Soshiyang just watched coldly from a distance.
While chewing, Fabius poured the wine from the wine pot into an empty cup, raised the cup and sniffed it, then exclaimed, then drank it in big gulp, poured himself another cup, and even his stomach almost started singing.
"...I heard that you will see me after you are arrested."
More than ten minutes later, when Fabius's voracious speed finally slowed down, Soshyan asked slowly:
"So who sent you here? Is it from Slaanes or the guidance of another Chaos Evil God?"
"I don't believe in chaos."
Fabius nodded slightly, raised his glass and seemed to celebrate, and then drank it all. After putting down the glass, he wiped his greasy hands on his prison uniform.
"I only believe in the empirical truth of humanity and scientific evidence, which is my eternal and unchanging claim."
Soshyang sneered.
"You who pretend to behave and mingle among the believers of Chaos every day is like a maggot crawling out of a cesspool, but claiming that you are not touching anything."
"Oh my God, Lord Soshyang, can you speak more elegantly, considering that I just finished my meal."
"Because this is the most appropriate example. In fact, in my eyes, you are just a dirty maggot, even more than other Chaos believers. They can at least generously declare their beliefs, and you... are not only depraved, but also hypocritical, and even more deceiving yourself."
Fabius hiccupped and shook his head.
"I didn't expect that even though we had never met, you could still have such a bad impression of me."
"Because any of your self-judgment is vulnerable to your actions, okay, now you just need to answer the questions honestly."
"Then just say it."
"Who sent you?"
"My own is coming."
"But Fogrim summoned you, but I guess you won't obey him, that is... you came to me specifically? So how can you explain that you joined forces with Enkali to attack the royal court?"
"If this is not the case... how could my things that Fogrim sent to monitor me be removed?"
"Oh? You turned out to be exiled to Enkali because she was sent by Fogrim to monitor you... Hum! What a fool! Your attack on Veronica is not like a disguise. If Mardale wasn't... Fabius, you have other plans?"
Fabius raised his hands and made a peaceful gesture.
"Don't be nervous, I'm a person who likes to make multiple filings. I just feel that you have to take action strong enough to get you out."
"Okay, just take it like that, then what are you going to do with me?"
"I want to know the secrets in you."
Soshiyang looked at the other person and suddenly burst into laughter after a moment.
"Hahahaha! Spider, some of the small successes in the past seem to make you too self-righteous. Do you think you are worthy of intervening in this game of gods? Do you know what the secrets on me represent? Emperor, Aida Gods, the powerful destruction, the star god, the fear of the dead, the ancient saint... too many, there is no power that you can touch now, mortals."
Fabius sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at Soshyan calmly, and then said slowly:
"Did you ask yourself why mortals are subject to so-called gods?"
Soshiyang blinked.
"What?"
"I usually don't talk about the so-called concept of gods, because it is the delusion of fools, the illusion formed by the mortals themselves, whether it is the God of Chaos, the Gods of Aida, or the God Emperor worshipped by fools, whether it is the great god or the small god, these illusions are full of fragile mortal souls to display their ruthless will. These mortals are controlled by these ideas with the concept of "God" just because they are weak, but I firmly believe that we are not inferior to these conscious objects.
, not inferior to the gods worthy of love and worship, nor to the extraordinary who possesses magical powers or achieves unfulfilled potential! We are born, we live, we die, and in the short gap between our first and last breaths, we are always forever controlled by various forces... These forces make our existence insignificant, make our struggles extremely cheap, and spill their powers on our curved and sun-burned backs, yet this is not the path humans should take."
Soshyan frowned slightly. Although he had known that the other party had a different mindset than the ordinary Chaos Space Marine, these remarks were really strange when they were said by people like Fabius.
Could it be that he is really a determined atheist?
Strange...
After thinking for a while, Soshiyang replied:
"Since human beings were born with civilization, all social forms have always emphasized one thing. Individuals must serve a cause or someone, and serving a powerful existence that sees further is not a shameful thing-"
"No, no, this is a very disgraceful thing."
Fabius raised a finger like a professor in the college.
"Because we have very little choice, although we can choose which god to offer with our blood, sweat and tears, labor and sacrifice... but what if we don't want to offer any god at all? What if we seek to serve a simple idea, a higher goal, a deeper abstract concept without providing service or loyalty to any god?"
He said these words easily, as if he was proclaiming the simple fact: fire is hot, water is wet, and ice is cold...
Soshyan probably saw that Fabius was indeed convinced of these things.
"You should know more than anyone else when the empire is born."
