Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 1193 Human Diversity

Because of the Emperor's presence, the celebration banquet ended in silence. The Primarch's legions dispersed to various war zones to rest and prepare, while the Primarchs began to prepare for the short return journey.

The camouflaged transport ships will send the Primarchs and Flame and Thunder back to Terra as quickly as possible.

On the night after the war, Qin Mo quietly flipped through the detailed records of the Great Expedition, checking the information about the aliens and other human forces.

This is not a preparation for strategy, but he just wants to see this.

The emperor sat opposite Qin Mo, crossing his legs and looking leisurely, but his expression was very serious as he looked at the document on his knees.

That's the file on sub-humans.

In the short crusade so far, the Empire has discovered many species of aliens and subhumans.

The Emperor looked through the files on the subhuman races.

"Catman."

"Mercemen."

After reading for a while, the emperor casually placed the document on the table and said to Qin Mo as if complaining, "There are many subspecies of humans. Some have human bodies with cat heads, and some have human heads with fish bodies in the ocean world. However, after testing by the empire's scientific research institutions, it was found that they do belong to human subspecies at the academic level."

Qin Mo shifted his attention from the documents on the desk to the Emperor: "How will these human subspecies be dealt with?"

The racial affairs of the Empire are handled by Malcador, who is the Emperor's man. Qin Mo doesn't know much about racial affairs, and he feels that Malcador's behavior will definitely be influenced by the Emperor.

"I do not know." The Emperor shook his head. "Now I do not judge the fate of a race."

"perhaps……"

"The research institute will determine whether a race is a subspecies of humans from a genetic perspective. If so, they will probably be classified as subhuman by the Ministry of Government Affairs. As for how to do it, this is something that the Imperial Parliament needs to discuss."

After saying that he would not interfere with the ruling at all, the emperor thought for a moment and said something that Qin Mo would be very concerned about: "If it were according to my idea, I think those sub-humans should be assigned to a galaxy, a world, and they should reproduce among themselves instead of reproducing with normal humans, and then they will get everything that normal people have."

"Starport, school, life guarantee..."

"It's not their fault that they are subhumans. It's the fault of many humans in the past. They don't deserve to die."

After listening to what the emperor said, Qin Mo agreed very much. At the same time, he also felt that it was great that he did not appear ten thousand years later.

The human empire in 30k is still very civilized and rational.

A subhuman race that does not look like a human would have its fate discussed by scientific research institutions and the Imperial Parliament, instead of having their life or death entirely decided by the Pope of the State Religion.

No matter how alien a demi-human looks, even if he is seen and slaughtered by the Astartes ten thousand years from now, he will still have a place in the 30th millennium.

"The problem of subhumans is just one of the countless problems in this expedition." Qin Mo placed the documents of the human forces he had examined in front of the Emperor. "Now the isolated human forces in the galaxy are also very strange."

"There is a world where the Thunder Warriors conquered it and slaughtered the aliens that enslaved humans. Then they discovered that the slaughtered aliens were the ancestors of the enslaved humans who had transformed themselves from their own kind."

"There is also a world that has an advanced energy technology from the 20th millennium of mankind. The people there lived a utopian life until the Astartes attacked them." "There are all kinds of strange places."

Speaking of this, Qin Mo sighed and couldn't help feeling sad.

The Emperor had no expression on his face, showing no feeling at all: "Humanity has always been like this, even in the best times of the human race. Cruel slavery and massacres coexist with the spread of civilization and rationality, and the material and spiritual assistance to weaker races."

"When I was still able to hide from the crowd, there were two very extreme organizations."

"An organization will use babies as materials for psychic technology, establish slavery, call those with psychic talents superiors, and call those without psychic talents inferior apes."

"As for the other organization, they have the most advanced medical technology. They treat any patient they can find throughout the galaxy. No matter what race the patient is, whether they are rich or poor, as long as they can be found by a disease detector that can scan a range of ten light years, they will receive complete free treatment."

“So humans are never monolithic, and it is impossible for them to reach complete agreement in form and thought.”

The Emperor took the document and read it carefully.

When he saw that the end of the civilized world that Qin Mo talked about was that the Astartes would forcibly take over the ruling of the planet and withdraw 30% of the young and middle-aged people to join the mortal army, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"There are always such beautiful and bright people in every era, but they can never expand or grow stronger. They can only live their good lives in a small place and pray that they will not be discovered. However, they will be discovered, but it will only be a flash in the pan after all."

"Outside that beautiful civilized world, people in tens of thousands of other worlds are suffering, and the suffering they endure is even more diverse than we can imagine."

After saying that, the emperor looked at Qin Mo quietly, obviously he still had something to say.

After hesitating for a long time, the Emperor finally spoke: "Whether it is the civilized world, the subhuman race, or anything else, the specialized agencies and departments will handle it properly. We don't need to worry too much."

"That's why you always lock yourself in the laboratory." Qin Mo said, "You want humans to rule themselves, so you refuse to participate in anything in the parliament."

The Emperor nodded, "Yes."

Qin Mo did not comment on this because he did not often participate in parliamentary affairs.

He also agreed to leave the fate of mortals in their own hands.

But that will be after everything is settled.

"Give Astartes a seat in parliament." Qin Mo suddenly said.

"Yes." The Emperor agreed unexpectedly readily. "I will not vote against it this time. If both of us agree, the matter of the Astartes seat can be finalized directly without going through the parliament."

The Emperor then explained why he had voted against the Council in the past: "At this point in the Great Crusade, it has become clear which of the Primarchs has the better leadership and who has the most prestige in the Legions. Horus also has enough prestige, so he can directly appoint an Astartes to the Council without any opposition."

"I refused before, only because I was worried that it would be impossible to add more than one seat. At the beginning of the Great Crusade, there would be fierce competition among the Primarchs who were dissatisfied with each other and their respective Legions."

When the emperor gave his reasons, Qin Mo nodded: "This is why I am now formally asking you to vote in favor with me."
