How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 128 Friendship is magic, but love is a miracle
Fifty-two thousand two hundred and seventy one.

After staying there for an unmeasurable amount of time, the number began to decline again.

During this period, Coz, who had been boringly repeating the mechanical actions of "boarding - suppressing - recovering" in reality, was touched by the changes in the numbers, and cast a glance from the sky: some of his descendants were walking through it. Out.

Before the feeling of surprise could appear, the answer was already presented to him.The few people who have been freed from the path of judgment have not been able to become Astartes and join Chaos warbands for a long time, at least subjectively speaking.Although most of them had already committed many crimes among their peers before this, the length of their lives currently does not support their accumulation of too serious crimes. Therefore, they are There is also less trial to go through here than others.

He looked down at the heirs who had woken up from the pain that was slowly ending, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should be happy about this.Immediately afterwards, he discovered that the first thing the sporadic Night Lord recruits did after struggling to wake up was to try to show off meaninglessly to the veterans around them who were still barely able to accept information from the outside world - this made Curze reconfirm , they are just another type of little bastards.

He in the High Sky used the link of blood to put an end to these things and ordered them to work from their own ships - to unite all ships in the fleet and serve him, the Primarch of the Night Lords, the genetic father of all the Nightborne. .

These people are still unable to fully adapt to the changes on themselves: the "red gloves" imposed on the criminals by the original body using the power of the warp, which makes them feel as if they move their fingers or touch any other object. A knife-like pain.Yet they joyfully began to carry out the first order they received from their Primarch, as if this ever-present torture was nothing worth mentioning.

Curze would have taken this for granted, as a Legionnaire was expected to carry out the Primarch's every command.But now, after experiencing everything in his second life and realizing that the identity of the original body cannot be the final answer in the logic of all actions, he began to think: why they would do such "illogical" things.

Prior to this, Curze had never met his descendants. Even though he established a subspace connection with all of them through the base contract brought by the gene seed, he only communicated to them through this connection. They convey power, violence, pain and suffering.

There is no greeting, no approval, and no positive connection between him and his descendants, but his descendants are still happy for his appearance, feel happy for the pain he gives, and even obey him. The abuser's instructions - not out of fear, but out of another emotion that he cannot fully understand: love.

When Kurtz noticed this problem and tried to understand it, he couldn't help but wonder: Is his genetic son mentally normal after drifting in subspace for 1 years?

He looked down at all his descendants again, and realized at the same time that there were already some very sinful people who could not withstand this torture and died broken.

Fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty two.

He had already said that his trial would probably break both the mind and body of the Astartes due to the unspeakable crimes.Deep in his heart, Curze laughed at these overestimating heirs, while at the same time, his instinct grabbed their stubborn souls with the thin thread of the base contract, and coldly annihilated them in the continuous wail of pain. His will shattered it into pure energy in an instant, merging it into his own essence.

If they had chosen to die consciously before then, Curze would have graciously spared their souls.However, if the persons under trial did not have the slightest idea of ​​"stopping" when they died, then the trial would continue after their death.This is completely an instinctive behavior that is not influenced by Curze's will - just like a person cannot control himself from absorbing the oxygen after breathing, Curze cannot stop his essence and prevent it from digesting himself. Prey caught with "Judgment".

He also understands that doing so will make him inherit the cause and effect and karma caused by these descendants, but - what sin is greater than becoming an accomplice to push the entire galaxy into a sea of ​​fire?He therefore doesn't care about these "little things".

——Look, he is something of a "sin drinker".Curze thought to himself.

He continued to look down at the descendants who were still suffering, realizing that the number of those who were swallowed up by their own sins, or tortured to physical collapse by his uncontrolled "judgment", was still there, and would continue to increase.

This made him feel an emotion between anger and hatred, but he couldn't define it well, nor was he quite sure where this emotion originated.In the end, after thinking for a few microseconds, he attributed it to the irritating and foreseeable future of "when this incident is over, the little warden will definitely give a long sermon again", and said angrily Continue his work of "destroying waste".That part was not his original intention. Fifty thousand six hundred and seventy eight. The number of heirs who performed the task of recovering the fleet with him increased to 670 people. Fifty thousand exactly. Galatan Star Castle has already escaped the plague fleet. There are still one hour, two and ten minutes left. It will become their reserve force - forty-nine thousand 67 four.

He began to feel unexplained anxiety.In his trial, only a few passed, and only a few consciously chose death. Among the gradually decreasing numbers, more than [-]% of his descendants were instinctively devoured by him.

Cozz had a vague feeling that his decision was very arbitrary, and the standards and intensity of the "trial" could not be said to be completely reasonable, but he originally thought that his descendants, who were just a bunch of weaklings, should know when to give up when faced with difficulties. Retreat, rather than hold on and make things the way they are now.

At the beginning, he didn't expect that he would "eat" so many offspring.

The trial of Coze's essence may have symbolized a certain degree of "justice" at the beginning, but the toxic environment of Nostramo has irreversibly distorted his mind in a bad direction. He has been poisoned His will has deviated from the Emperor's original vision. Even with the help of various external forces in his second life, he still cannot perfectly control his own nature.

He is high in the sky, but the part responsible for judging is operating almost entirely on instinct.Now, the so-called "trial" is nothing more than an arbitrary, excessive, harsh punishment that never considers the human rights of the person on trial and has no time limit.He knew how quickly a person, even an Astartes, would succumb to such inhuman torture.He carefully concocted the most horrific torture for his heir, but he didn't expect that——

——Why don’t they give up?Because of the so-called "love"?

Kurtz has always known clearly that there is such a kind of emotion in the world, but he has never successfully experienced or analyzed what "love" is.He can roughly and mechanically understand this emotion based on basic inferences and fittings, and then make basic use of it - just like a farmer can predict whether it will rain the next day based on the clouds in the evening, and then decide to water the fields. How much water is like that - but the current situation is too beyond his cognition.

In his first life, he originally took his children's love for him for granted.But after he realized that this was not the case, he realized how absurd what was happening was, even so absurd that it frightened him.

"Love" is supposed to make people weak.That's how it should be.

"Why do you insist so much?" he asked his descendants. "Why do you still refuse to give up, knowing that there is only endless pain and humiliating death ahead?"

Broken sobs came from the connection of the base contract, and forty-six thousand three hundred and seventy-two answers gathered in Coze's heart at the same moment:

Because you are there.

The chorus of like-minded people sent shivers down Curz's spine.

　Miwu (six o'clock).
