Chapter 53 God or Man
"It's better to put down the guns and swords." Fujimaru Ritsuka said to the Terminator team behind her. "First of all, it's rude, and secondly, the precaution of force is useless. If Tezcatlipoca has that intention , it would be easy for him to destroy the entire ship.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka was only stating the facts while making reasonable suggestions. Unfortunately, although the Midnight Lords team followed her suggestions and breathed a sigh of relief at the hint that "there will be no war for the time being", they still seemed... I really want to run away.

So far, the reason why they have not made up their mind to give up on this mission of "protecting the personal safety of Fujimaru Ritsuka" is simply because this is a direct order from their genetic father.

The eyes of the skeletons are empty, but there is indeed some kind of scrutinizing will falling on their heads, and the invisible pressure makes people instinctively hold their breath.Astartes is a modified person who has been enhanced from body to mind through a series of means. He should not be panicked by any trivial things, and has almost lost the ability to feel fear or lose his mind due to fear - not to mention They are also Night Lords whose specialty is fear-mongering.However, they realized here that the Astartes did not break away from the category of humans after all.

They felt a trembling feeling from the bottom of their hearts.That is written in the genes and instincts at the lowest level. It has existed since the beginning of the existence of the species "human beings". Therefore, creatures can continue the race - in the face of things that can easily crush individual people. In times of danger, the most primitive "fear" exists as an early warning agency.

"What kind of 'crooked melons and cracked dates' are you bringing with you?" The invisible and heavy pressure dissipated, and Tezcatlipoca turned to ask Fujimaru Ritsuka, "Although you are the kind of 'even if you die once, I'm not a good person, but I'm still picky about my companions... No, I'm talking too much, your words are fine."

Of course, these words were tantamount to disparagement, which made the Night Lords a little dissatisfied - I say "a little" because they haven't done anything special because of it.

When faced with a great being that is far beyond common sense, the human spirit often experiences tremendous pressure.Such pressure flows from the spirit to the body, and the load on the brain and nerves cannot support them to continue to command the human body.

It may not be that the Night Lords don't want to say or do something, but they just can't do it under such strong pressure.

But Fujimaru Ritsuka regarded it as nothing.

"This story is a long one, and I do have a lot of questions to ask." She looked calm and spoke calmly, "But the most difficult thing to ignore is - does it feel like you have become weaker?"

Not to mention the changes in appearance.This is subspace, and for "gods" there is no restriction that requires a physical body to restrict and anchor itself in order to survive.Perhaps when facing Tezcatlipoca, which is still huge and terrifying in terms of its scale of existence, for people who have never seen its majesty, the scale comparison of "a thousand times less than human beings" is enough to make people wonder. People are desperate, but for Fujimaru Ritsuka, who has never seen but peeked at the power of gods from the side, this "a thousand times" is not even better than the "Tes who uses the Noble Phantasm" she saw in the Lost Belt in South America. Catlipoca" was terrifying, and that one was even a pseudo-servant that was reduced to possessing a human body.

In the final battle of Miktrampa, although the opponent limited his own efforts due to the pursuit of fair competition, Fujimaru Ritsuka also had an understanding of what the "God's Domain" was like as a battle venue.Although there is some smoke representing Tezcatlipoca floating in the nearby illusion, it obviously does not have the power to "demarcate the territory".

"Haha." Almighty God, whose current appearance is between a ghost and a skeleton, laughed dryly. "After all, this is not the original world. Even if I am Almighty God and can move between multiverses, I will not be able to move between the multiverses. You can't fully exert your power if the universe itself refuses. But you——"

That invisible pressure similar to "sight" was transferred to Fujimaru Ritsuka.From her expression, it was obvious that she didn't feel anything, but it could also be seen from the same place that she obviously didn't take this as anything important.

"——It really fell from the root. It's a shame that you can bear it."

"It's not like I can bear it... I also planned it carefully. Before the actual execution, I underwent a transformation similar to the third method, which fixed the physical and mental forms..." Fujimaru Ritsuka inexplicably became smaller and smaller. Finally, he suddenly raised his voice as if to cover up his guilty conscience: "Anyway, judging from the results, I survived! That's enough!"

Tezcatlipoca laughed again, and a loud rumble echoed through the hangar, and even the walls seemed to shake.As a result, the Terminator team entered a defensive state, but the psykers further away seemed unaware of this.

"Yes, for you, 'surviving' itself is a victory." The god agreed, "Then what? Although I admit that the fate that was once formed echoes each other, and the universe itself will separate the two beings from other worlds. It's normal to push towards a point of intersection, but since you came to me like this, you must not just come to say hello, right?"

"Say hello is also important, but there are many reasons. Because of some long stories, I am currently traveling around as the Emperor's envoy - even if I don't mention this, I have to reach out to help any ship in distress no matter what. Just one handful is enough, right?”

"It's very your style...but now you are the emperor's priest." The pronunciation of the word "priest" in the mouth of the alien god is completely unfamiliar to the people of the empire, but those syllables are no longer in this environment. When he said it, everyone understood its meaning inexplicably, "I caught a glimpse of Debit when he came here, and he looked like a not-so-good patron saint. Don't get in trouble again. I got entangled with a guy and was forced to start working illegally, right?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was strangely silent here.

"Well... I think it's better to say it first. You must calm down after hearing this." There was a tentative uncertainty in her tone, "Emperor, he is not a god."

"what?"

"The Emperor is not a god. He is just a somewhat special and very strong human being... If we want to compare it to a very powerful human magician? Although he is different from ordinary people in terms of life form and dimension, the 'heart' part is still Humans...are roughly like this?" "Huh?"

Tezcatlipoca made a “are you kidding me” sound.

"Wait a minute, the 'Emperor' we are talking about is indeed the 'Sun' that lit up a super-large lighthouse at the galactic level and burned blazingly on the earth, right?"

"Yeah? That's a human, right?"

"But isn't it obvious that he is 'ruling mankind as a god'?"

"The relationship between cause and effect is wrong. You haven't had time to explore the history of this universe in detail." Fujimaru Ritsuka said, "It's not that the emperor rules mankind as a god, but that he is regarded as a god by his people as a great emperor who rules mankind. 'In this way. Although he has been regarded as a god by a large number of humans for almost 1 years, so changes have inevitably occurred, but in essence he is still a human being."

Whether it was an illusion or not, Tezcatlipoca seemed speechless for a moment.

"One, human? Leading a huge empire on the scale of this galaxy?"

"To put it simply, the story is this: The Emperor 1 years ago tried to unify the entire human race spread across the galaxy, and then found a way to free humanity from the shadow of the gods. But the Great Crusade launched for this purpose failed at the last moment , the empire at this point in time is the remains of a backup plan that has barely lasted for 1 years."

"——He wants to bid farewell to the Age of Gods on his own?"

"It was almost successful. If the gods hadn't done anything, they would have succeeded. It's a pity that the gods in the universe obviously have their own ideas... But in the end, he reluctantly sat on the throne to avoid it for the time being. The ruined destiny of the entire human race.”

"..."

After a period of silence, Tezcatlipoca laughed even more wildly.

"You want to rely on your own efforts to continue the existence of a race that is destined to be destroyed. How arrogant is this fool! I see, that's it, I understand, this can't be human! Only humans can do such stupid things !”

The entire space shook because of the god's emotional catharsis.There were sounds of uneasiness and commotion in the psyker camp, but it seemed that they still didn't understand what was going on in the hangar.

"...I feel like I was scolded too, but that's okay. As long as you understand this." After Tezcatlipoca had almost laughed enough, Fujimaru Ritsuka shrugged indifferently, "Anyway As a fool who has also shouldered the burden of humanity's existence, I really can't ignore it after meeting him, so I am currently acting from a position of assisting him. It would be great if there would be no conflicts over this in the future."

"I understand, I understand, hahahahahaha..."

After barely stabilizing his emotions, the huge skeleton waved his arms and leaned down to approach Kondomaru Ritsuka:
"I can't promise you that I will never stand against you. After all, I am the 'wind of impermanence', and I don't know where I will blow."

His tone was solemn and serious:
"But you are the 'warrior' I favor, and I will recognize the Emperor just like you who 'challenge impossible goals' - you can rest assured that even if you have not met him, as the 'God of Warriors' We will still give him preferential treatment equally."

"So tell me, what do you need now? The god Tezcatlipoca will generously provide rewards to the warriors who once defeated me."

 Suddenly I learned that it was on the shelves on the 1st, so I saved it, but it’s gone today.

  Hurry up and py it before it’s on the shelves: Dark Lady Adhera’s masterpiece (?), the story of raising Luojia for 30k.I started making fun of it from the introduction, and the writing style is not much better than mine. Friends who like the hh story line or are interested in correcting Luo Jia should read it if they pass by.
