Chapter 672: The Decaying But Still Powerful Human Empire(1/4)

“It is precisely because we cannot confirm that we need to maintain contact and contact.
Even if it is the conspiracy of the evil god of subspace, it is better to have it in our sight than to know nothing about it.
What's more, there are not only evil gods in the subspace, but also some unknown beings that we don't even know much about.
Wouldn't it be a good thing if there was a channel for understanding and researching?
As for the human soul…
If the world the other party showed about the world where souls live after death is true, compared to the brutal rule implemented on many planets of the empire, death would be a relief for many low-level civilians.
Therefore, I suggest using dozens of planets as bargaining chips. Even if it fails in the end, it will be far from damaging to the empire.
But once we succeed, we can get rid of this passive situation."
Efreni expressed her attitude very simply.
She obviously knew that she was not welcome here, but she didn't care at all.
Because in Efreni's eyes, it doesn't matter whether these ordinary humans hate themselves, hate themselves, or are wary of themselves.
There was only one thing she really valued and cared about, and that was the regent sitting on the throne, the son of the Emperor of Mankind - Robert Guilliman.
You must know that in the eyes of the Eldar, the Eternal Emperor may still be barely considered a human, but these primitives created using subspace technology and forbidden science have absolutely nothing to do with humans.
What a joke!
These guys can recover even if their heads are blasted by a hammer. They can enter the cold space with their bodies without any protective power. They can survive the terrifying high temperature and pressure inside the star without being hurt. They can easily create a force field through their spiritual energy and move a huge ship.
The space battleship is torn apart or thrown out, anticipating and avoiding the dense long-range fire coverage from the enemy in advance.
Back then, the Emperor wanted to kill his great son who started a rebellion, but he managed to kill him by creating an energy comparable to a supernova explosion. This shows how terrifying the power of the original body is.
The real title of the so-called "primarch" should be "demigod" or "son of god".
And their strength is far more terrifying and outrageous than that of the Sons of Baal in Faerûn.
Although the Emperor of the Human Empire repeatedly emphasized that all his sons were human and also used his own genes.
But in the eyes of the more ancient Eldar, these primitives and humans are completely different creatures.
As for the emperor, he is not so much the founder and supreme ruler of the empire, but rather a god shaped by the human race through faith and worship.
In this regard, the Eldar are rich in experience and have created more than one god through faith very early on.
Even "Slaanesh", one of the four most powerful Chaos Evil Gods in the subspace, was finally created because of their continuous depravity, indulgence, torture, abuse and enslavement.
Therefore, when facing the original body and ordinary humans, the Eldar's attitudes are also very different.
They may laugh at ordinary people like uncivilized monkeys, but they will never show the slightest contempt or disrespect to the original body.
This can be glimpsed from the imaginatively intimate relationship between Evrené and Robert Guilliman.
"I think Ms. Evelyn's statement makes sense.
No matter what this unknown existence is, as long as it shows a willingness to communicate and communicate, we should not reject it easily.
However, in order to prevent possible conspiracies and the huge risks hidden therein, I think several star systems should be isolated as a testing ground.
In this way, even if the evil god of subspace is weird, the empire can directly control the disaster within a certain range at the cost of destroying these planets and even galaxies.
Another commander of the imperial army who attended the meeting - Trajan Valoris said extremely cold words with a straight face and an emotionless tone.
Like most of the top leaders of the human empire, he obviously regards the people at the bottom as a resource or even a consumable.
As long as the empire's rule can be maintained and those real threats eliminated, the death of dozens of planets' populations is nothing.
Especially those colonial planets that mainly focus on agriculture and animal husbandry are often invaded by foreign enemies and slaughtered alive, and it is impossible to wait for any reinforcements.
Because in the eyes of the higher-ups, their lives are simply not worth dispatching a super space warrior like the Astartes.
In fact, due to the sparse number of Astartes, the inhabitants of most planets may never encounter these so-called "angels" in their lifetime.
As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade.
Only important industrial casting planets, recruiting planets and certain star domain ruling centers have the opportunity to see these powerful genetically modified warriors up close.
And once they appear, it often means that the situation has become so bad that ordinary armies can no longer cope with it, and it can basically be declared that there are not many living people left on the entire planet.
What's more, even if hundreds of agricultural planets are destroyed at once, it will not affect the overall situation.
With the number of planets and the level of automated agriculture and animal husbandry technology currently possessed by the human empire, there is simply no chance of a food crisis.
Even if it does appear, food consumption can be reduced by sending the excess useless population to the front lines to be consumed.
To a certain extent, the overall style of the Empire of Man perfectly fits the tendency of the lawful evil camp.
Even Robert Guilliman, the regent who always gives people a bright, just and majestic impression, actually has nothing to do with kindness.
When he first took over the mess of the empire and carried out drastic reforms, it was basically that anyone who dared to block his way would die, and the shadow of his subordinates was everywhere, leaving no room for compromise or negotiation.
Even conservative estimates suggest that the number of people who died in this political storm will not be less than one million or even tens of millions.
Due to its large population base, the empire never minds launching brutal and bloody internal purges.

desire.
If I had to use one word to describe the current situation of human imperial society, there would be only two words - repression, and it was extremely repressive everywhere from the body to the mind.
If anyone dares to complain or even curse these policies, then wait until the Inquisition comes to teach you what loyalty is.
no way.
Who made it possible for all the overly strong emotions in the real universe to eventually be projected into the subspace and become food for some evil gods?
In order to prevent them from becoming more and more powerful, the only way is to suppress desires and various entertainments in a way that goes against their nature. It is best to be completely numb and become a cog in the imperial war machine.
Many times there are rebellions within the empire and they completely surrender to the Evil God of Chaos. The main reason is most likely because they are driven crazy by this ubiquitous oppression.
After all, when a person has been tortured and exploited and is asked to use the bones of himself and his comrades to block the enemy's advance, how can there be no resentment in his heart?
When the slave workers saw the great Space Marines passing by, they turned a deaf ear to the suffering they were suffering. Instead, they only defended the greedy governors and bureaucrats, brandishing their swords and guns like slaughtering livestock to slaughter the civilians who had caused the riot, and even glorified them.
It's called "Salvation", how much sense of identity and belonging does it have to this empire?
Those who caused the death of most humans and plundered and tortured them were actually neither the Chaos Gods of the subspace nor the orcs that would grow out of the ground if they were not careful, nor were they the Eldar, the overlords of the previous generation of galaxies.
As well as the Tyranids and Necrons, they are precisely the Empire itself and its lackeys - the Planetary Governor and the entire bureaucracy.
If the regime can still maintain stability in this environment, then it will be a ghost.
From the perspective of ordinary people, since being a citizen of the empire requires enduring both physical and mental pain and torture, and you will never be able to get ahead, why not try to join the Chaos Evil God?
Anyway, they are still hurt, they are distorted and ugly, and they still have no hope or future.
At least the Chaos Evil Gods can allow you to experience happiness and joy in your senses.
This is why many people say that the Empire is actually dead a long time ago, and is now just a rotting and smelly corpse.
Because the entire large lower class population has feelings of disgust, hostility, and hatred towards this country, and they want to see its destruction from the bottom of their hearts.
If it weren't for the Emperor himself, and the Primarch he created and the Super Space Marines based on the Primarch, who were powerful enough to suppress all rebellions through violent machines, the Empire would have been revolted and divided again and again.
completely disappeared.
After all, under normal circumstances, no regime can still operate when there is widespread anti-government tendency at the grassroots level.
As a primarch who survived the tragic civil war, Robert Guilliman is undoubtedly the person who is most aware of the poor state of the Empire, and has even expressed dissatisfaction and disappointment more than once.
Although he has been using his super brain to do his best to promote reforms and want to revitalize the decayed empire, it is a pity that all efforts failed to achieve the desired results.
Although it cannot be said that there is no improvement at all, it can only be considered as better than nothing.
Just as the regent was contemplating how to handle this matter, a petite-looking woman suddenly stood up and said in a slightly playful voice: "In principle, I agree with Ms. Efrenie's point of view.
In any case, this is a precious opportunity. If you give it up because of possible risks, that is not the style of the empire.
But I suggest that this matter is best led by the national religion with stronger beliefs and loyalty, rather than the Mechanicus on Mars.
I believe everyone here should know how obsessed and fanatical these guys are for Om Messiah, the god of knowledge, technology and machinery.
Once a large-scale rebellion occurs among them, it will definitely be a disaster for the empire in turmoil."
You don’t need to ask to know that there is only one woman in the parliament who gives people such a delicate feeling, and that is Violetta Roskafler, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
But no one dares to underestimate this woman.
To be continued...
