Soshiyang frowned, and Mortal immediately explained:
"Do you believe that a force will suddenly fall from the world without any cost or damage, and that is powerful enough to distort the rules of reality?"
"Then what happened?"
"I should say, what do you want to know?"
Soshyan looked at the other person, thought for a while, and finally asked a question that might be a bit silly, but it was really what he was thinking.
"Mortal, will you tell the truth to me?"
"I can only tell you that I know, but I don't know everything. I even know less than the Bewitcher. Although we are one, the Bewitcher has his special responsibilities, and he can be allowed to hide some things.
.”
"What exactly is gray marrow?"
After hearing this question, Mortal seemed to be lost in thought, and after a while he answered:
"Strictly speaking, I can't be sure, but you should know something about it yourself. It is related to a star god who was almost wiped out, and it is also related to the ancient saints and the Eldar. But I know something about the gods of the Eldar.
Not much...but the gray marrow is completely different from the Star God fragments. You should have seen the Star God fragments. They...they have huge energy, but the gray marrow does not behave like it. Under normal circumstances, it does not have any
Activity, but has the characteristic of absorbing energy, and whether this is the structure of the Star God itself... I also have limited understanding. The only thing that can be determined is that the Star God called the Immortal Starfall is very special.
It’s something that the Star Gods are all afraid of, and they have a special name for it.”
"What?"
"Xu Cong."
"Xu Cong..."
"If you want to know more about the Star God, you can go to the Dark Night Labyrinth underground on Mars after leaving Terra. There will be someone there to guide you, but how much you can know depends on your efforts."
"Dark Night Maze, I remember it."
Soshyan nodded vigorously, then he remembered the strangeness when he was close to Mars, so he said:
"Is there a star god there?"
"Yes, there is a Star God named Void Dragon there. Although it is also a fragment, it is one of the strongest among many Star God fragments. I captured it with a trick and was later imprisoned on Mars... Strictly
It’s not exactly a prison sentence, it’s a cooperation between the two parties. I won’t talk about those old things. If they want to talk about it, they will tell you naturally.”
Soshyan was keenly aware that the mortal still had reservations about himself. Since he could imprison a Star God, it was impossible for him to have limited understanding of the structure of the Star God itself as he said.
But since the other party didn't want to say anything, even if he asked, there would be no results, so he asked instead:
"So what happened after Xerxes used the ashes?"
"Actually nothing happened."
"Um?"
Soshiyang's eyes widened. Isn't this inconsistent? It is also inconsistent with what Li and Amnak said.
Seeing his expression, Mortal seemed to have guessed something and shook his head.
"Something did happen on Ctesiphon, but the impact was not big. Xerxes' wisdom and mind are far more powerful than you think. Soshyan, he is not that easy to control."
"Then why..."
"If I said that he asked for death, would you believe it?"
"Why... why?"
"Because he realized he had been fooled, that's why I said the gray marrow was a trap."
"You're not saying he can control himself..."
"He can control himself, but he can't control the gray marrow..."
This sentence sounded very contradictory, but after thinking about it carefully, Soshyan suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
"Could it be that... gray marrow can leave the master's body and act on its own!?"
"This statement is not accurate. The gray marrow is too mysterious. It took Xerxes a long time to discover that it is indeed controlled by its master in the physical universe, but it...will enter the subspace."
"ah!"
Soshiyang was shocked. He had never thought that gray marrow could actually move on its own and enter the subspace. This thing was more like a parasite than a power.
Or a parasite that can move outside the body!
"And to make matters worse, there are people trying to exploit this power."
"who?"
Just after he finished speaking, a word flashed in Soshiyang's mind. There were only two people who could "use" the gray marrow of the original body at that time——
Emperor, or...
Macado!
Soshiyang suddenly felt like his heart was falling into an ice kiln. Maybe the truth was far darker and more bloody than he thought. Maybe many things were a scam from the beginning...
"How...is he going to take advantage of it?"
"Gray Marrow has a perfect transformation form between reality and subspace, which means... if a god has such a body, then it can come to the human world at will. In the same way, if a person has such a body, then he can
Equivalent to a god who possesses the laws of physics and can enter the subspace at will... Malcador hopes that Xerxes will continue to promote the research of gray marrow. He wants this perfect body to be used by a perfect person to become a form that transcends reality and
A majestic thing with double boundaries in the form of subspace, at that time their plans will no longer be afraid of all variables."
When Suoshiyang heard this, he took two steps back and subconsciously looked at the painting.
He turned his head and tremblingly asked a question from his soul.
"Did the Emperor know that at that time?"
Mortal looked away and did not answer, but this was already an answer.
Soshiyang swallowed his throat, and for some reason he felt a burning pain there.
"Then why...Xerxes wanted to die..."
"The purpose of introducing the Gray Marrow to him in the first place was not simple. Xerxes discovered the fatal flaw in the Gray Marrow in time. However, he was unable to crack it. Due to Malcador's improper intervention, the Gray Marrow remained the same.
Growing stronger day by day, one day it will turn around and devour him. At that time, this hungry monster will come to Terra and become the son of God who overthrows the God King... The only 'brake' Xerxes can think of is death.
, but obviously Malcador did not stop promoting the Gray Marrow Project, even after his sacrifice."
"Introducing the Ash... Who introduced the Ash to Xerxes?"
The mortal shook his head.
"I don't know either, maybe only Xerxes knows, but... maybe you have to solve this mystery."
"But...is Xerxes really dead?"
Mortal looked at Soshyan, and he even felt a little weak, so he subconsciously looked away.
"I just..."
"Strictly speaking, he is not dead. As the most human being, he may not have the terrifying inner nature of other Primarchs, but he does have a very special ability, that is, whether his body is annihilated or his soul is annihilated, his spiritual intelligence remains.
It will still exist... His consciousness can exist in a form that transcends common sense, and can even reincarnate as a human with some opportunity, just like when we were born and destroyed."
At this time, what Li once said jumped into Soshiyang's mind——
Erda and the Emperor are both beings with incredible power. Death is not the ultimate for them, it is even liberation...
Obviously, Xerxes also exists like this.
Soshyan held his right hand on his chest.
"But why do I feel that he..."
"In your body? Because Xerxes chose to attach his spiritual intelligence to the gray marrow. He gave up infinite eternity just to trap something that could destroy the galaxy."
"So that means..."
The mortal blinked.
"It's just what you think. Yes, Xerxes can be resurrected through your body, but your consciousness will disappear...or, in other words, you will become the tool to trap the thing of destruction."
