Anyone who has ever experienced walking or floating in space will be shocked by the emptiness, coldness and darkness that cannot be described in words.
Similarly, they will also have a strong feeling of loneliness in their hearts that cannot be described in words.
Many ordinary people who have just entered space will even suffer from a strange disease called "deep space syndrome."
It's somewhat similar to claustrophobia, but the underlying logic is completely different.
Because the latter is a feeling of suffocation caused by a small space, while the former is a cognitive disorder or even a cognitive error caused by a too large space.
In the past, because humans on earth were basically elites who were able to enter space, and they also underwent special and rigorous training, they would use some methods to relieve this pressure.
However, as we enter the interstellar era in great strides, countless ordinary people can enter space and even conduct interstellar travel, and various spaceships, space ports and other facilities have become more widespread.
"Deep Space Syndrome" has officially entered people's field of vision and has become a widespread and major problem that needs to be faced.
The current response plan of the People's Federation is to try not to let one person act alone in space, but to form a team of more than a dozen people to look after each other to reduce the physical and psychological impact caused by this strong sense of loneliness.
But at this moment, as the commander-in-chief of the People's Alliance Fleet, Grant Ward only has a large amount of space debris formed after the battleship exploded and fragmented, as well as all kinds of miserable and mutilated corpses.
In a cold vacuum environment, the corpse will not rot or deteriorate, but will always maintain its original appearance.
Especially the fear retained in the eyes at the last moment before death, just looking at it makes people's scalp numb.
Not to mention that the corpses will continue to collide during the floating process, and even come into close contact through the transparent space glass of the helmet.
The most important thing is that Grant Ward's powered mecha is not designed for a vacuum environment, but for landing operations in harsh environments.
This means that it does not have an independent oxygen supply system, only an air filtration and purification device.
Although at the moment the spacecraft exploded, his specially customized highest-level power mecha activated the deflection field in an instant to block most of the impact and completely cut off the connection with outer space.
The oxygen reserves that can be sealed inside the body are obviously not enough to supply an adult male for a long time.
Although Grant Ward had reduced the number of breaths as much as possible to allow his body and brain to enter semi-sleep in order to live longer, he could still clearly feel that his breathing was becoming heavier and heavier, accompanied by severe chest tightness.
with dizziness and weakness in the limbs.
As a person with considerable knowledge, he knew that this was the result of oxygen depletion and increasing carbon dioxide levels combining with blood proteins to form non-oxygenated hemoglobin.
In human terms, the oxygen content in the blood becomes lower and lower until the whole person suffocates and dies due to complete lack of oxygen.
If there was a mirror now, he would definitely be able to see his purple-black lips.
Are you going to die now?
And the most humiliating thing is suffocating yourself to death?
It is clear that he is only one step away from seizing the supreme power of the People's Federation, and then imitating a certain legendary failed artist to become a dictator, or even the supreme founding emperor of the future human empire.
The strong unwillingness made Grant Ward forcefully pull himself back from the edge of unconsciousness several times.
After all, he is still so young and has such a bright future.
As for using magic or activating magic items to teleport away, he has been trying since he regained consciousness, but he was unable to enter a state of concentration due to the impact on his head, and ultimately failed without exception.
Obviously, there is only one result before him, and that is to wait for death in this dark space cemetery, with no rescue at all.
Because all the space fleets of the Human League and its alien allies were destroyed by Thanos' attack.
At the moment, the earth does not have enough spaceships to send out, nor does it have the time or energy to care about the victims floating in space with a pitifully low chance of survival.
Just when Grant Ward began to review his short but glorious life with his increasingly dull brain, he suddenly saw a figure shining with golden light appearing in front of him.
At first, he thought it was a hallucination caused by lack of oxygen in the brain, so he just smiled and laughed at himself: "It turns out that I, like all ordinary people, hope for an omnipotent God when facing a desperate situation.
Save yourself.
But it doesn't matter.
Anyway, my soul will go to Baator Hell after death.
I hope that the great Lord Soth will give me a better new identity for the sake of my hard work over the years."
"No, young man, what you saw was not an illusion."
The golden figure came to a stop just a few steps away from Grant Ward.
Through the slightly dazzling light, he saw the other party's face full of divine majesty and the appreciation revealed in his eyes.
"What? This is not an illusion! Then you are..."
Grant Ward's already unconscious brain was instantly filled with hope, and his face was filled with expressions of shock and disbelief.
As a senior member of the People's Federation, he certainly knows that there are many incredible super beings in this universe who can travel through space with their bodies.
I just didn't expect that I would be caught in a desperate situation.
Could it be that he was attracted by Thanos who holds the Infinity Gauntlet?
Or do you have any other intentions?
You must know that Grant Ward is no longer the low-level Hydra member who only obeyed orders a few years ago. Instead, he is the politician and fleet commander who stands at the top of the entire civilization pyramid and holds the most power.
His way of thinking has already undergone drastic changes with the improvement of his status and status.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After all, if you know clearly where the soul will go after death, naturally there will be no so-called "fear of death", but more of unwillingness.
Just like this, everything that was hard to get was lost.
And compared to death, he is more worried that this unknown existence will be harmful to the earth and mankind.
"Don't be so nervous, because I am not your enemy, let alone the enemy of humans on earth. In fact, the reason why I appear here is because I was invited by Soth."
The huge golden figure had a helpless expression on his face.
You know without asking that he is the projection of the Lord of Mankind from the Warhammer Universe.
Since Zuo Si has connected with the subspace through Mirrodin time and space as a transit, he can now extend part of the subspace spiritual energy with the permission of the other party.
After all, the essence of subspace psychic energy is the spiritual energy formed by the mixture of mortal souls and beliefs.
It is not difficult for Zuo Si to purify and control it now, and there is no need to worry about Khorne, Tzeentch and Slaanesh taking the opportunity to extend their tentacles.
Because if these guys dare to cause trouble, their claws will be chopped off in Mirrodin time and space.
"Invitation? Are you here to save me?"
Grant Ward suddenly became excited.
The Lord of Humanity smiled and nodded: "That's right. But I may have to borrow your body for a while. I think you won't mind, right?"
Upon hearing this, Grant Ward's face changed slightly, and he asked in an uncertain tone: "Borrow my body? Why?"
"Because Soth is very dissatisfied with the fact that the earth and mankind in this universe are still under a false voting system, and the government is controlled by the capital consortium and has been unable to complete the final centralization of power. He hopes that I can give you a demonstration on how to do it.
Establish a powerful interstellar empire and at least expand its territory to the entire galaxy."
The Lord of Humanity had no intention of hiding anything and openly stated his purpose of joining this game.
As a typical leader who lights up a series of civilizational characteristics such as extreme authoritarianism, xenophobia, rational thinking (imperial truth), military hegemonism, genocide, etc., he is obviously quite disappointed with the current situation of the People's Federation.
After all, during the rise of mankind in the Warhammer universe and its expansion to the entire galaxy, it has been proven more than once that without the supervision and control of a strong centralized government, human civilization will inevitably lead to division, civil war, and even more serious situations.
The reason why the human empire has adopted a relatively loose autonomous management method is not because it does not want to establish an efficient and unified administrative system, but because it is limited by objective factors and cannot ensure smooth communication and transportation.
In fact, in the plan of the Lord of Mankind, once he completes the Webway Project, he will begin to tighten policies, take back power from the governors at all levels, and then end, bit by bit, slavery, serfdom, and other decadent and backward things.
.
It's a pity that this plan was eventually sabotaged by the evil god of subspace and fell short.
The entire empire has been falling into the abyss for thousands of years. Instead of making any progress, it has continued to regress significantly.
Many planets are complete living hells on earth.
The religious beliefs that were banned at that time actually became the only glue that kept mankind from falling apart again.
Whenever he recalls these things, the Lord of Humanity will feel regretful in his heart.
If he could make Angron fulfill his wish and lead the slaves to overthrow the slave masters on the planet Nukolia and become a hero praised by everyone, wouldn't the primarch completely fall into the arms of Khorne due to losing control of his emotions?
If more attention had been paid to Horus, would the great rebellion that tore the entire empire apart wouldn't have happened, or would it have been much smaller in scale?
If Magnus could have been more cautious and not recklessly poked a hole in Terra's shield, would he have been able to complete the Webway plan?
If Guilliman's reinforcements could have been rushed faster during the Siege of Terra, wouldn't many loyalist Primarchs have died?
As we all know, everyone will make countless mistakes for various reasons during their growth.
Some of them are fatal mistakes that can change the trajectory of life. Every time in the dead of night, I can't help but regret it, thinking about what would happen if I had to make the right choice again.
Although the Lord of Mankind is not a mortal, he has had such an association more than once during his ten thousand years of loneliness while sitting on the Golden Throne.
After all, if he could be more careful, he could lead mankind to embrace a better future, instead of watching them struggle in pain and despair.
Fortunately, things did not turn out for the worst in the end.
The emergence of Zuo Si broke the influence of subspace on the real universe and injected new hope into the entire human race and even the galaxy in another way.
Even the chaotic subspace began to change under the influence of the powerful force of order.
Everything is moving in a good direction.
The only regret is that the empire he built with his own hands is completely hopeless and must be buried together with mankind's dark past.
That's why he accepted the invitation to appear here.
