[You will see the secret, Constantine. I'll explain it in a way you can understand. 】

[Aristotle’s humoral theory is a comprehensive expression of ancient Greek medical concepts. This humoral theory fully proves the human view of all body fluids, including blood, at that time. In that era when substances were given spirituality, body fluids were given spirituality. Extremely important meanings, such as blood that can be used ritually to refer to wine. When someone is hurt and bleeds, it means that this person is not only missing on the material level, but also hurt on the spiritual and soul level. In some belief systems, the soul is the medium that holds the memory, so when you inflict damage and cause it to bleed, you will gain the soul that holds the memory and gain a glimpse of its secrets. 】

[This is just a simplified statement, not completely correct, but a statement that ordinary people can understand. 】

Constantine saw the memory, the memory of Maximus.

He saw a red-haired girl running in the long corridors of the palace, laughter echoing in the empty rooms and corridors. He saw the red-haired girl grow up slowly, and the aura of youth became warmer with age. He could even feel the girl's hot heat and charm transmitted through the skin to his fingers, making his heart beat fast. ——Constantine watched indifferently as Maximus carefully touched Medusa's skin. The ambiguous and sweet atmosphere between the two did not affect him, as if he was watching a movie. Calm - then he saw a middle-aged man and a woman with a loving face. The man, wearing a tuning fork crown, frowned and announced to Maximus a not-so-secret secret, that is, he had a brother.

After that, his memory began to get confused. He saw Medusa lying naked on the bed, with an amazingly beautiful waist and hip curve, and a clean, pure white blanket covering her waist. Medusa's long red hair was scattered on the bed, bending and raising like a living creature. Maximus looked at her sweaty and sleeping side face worriedly, wondering whether he should tell Medusa about the throne. then he saw an ancient king standing on the dry land, thousands of slaves wearing shabby linen kneeling before him, shouting his name.

Then jealousy began to gnaw at his heart, especially when the king announced that he was no longer the only candidate for the throne. Medusa, the woman who became the future queen because of political games, quietly took a step back, thirsting for power. Burning like wildfire right now. Then there was a series of chaotic and crazy memories. A magnificent church made of bones was built on a large piece of land floating in the ether tide. The sound of chanting.

The huge memory did not bother Constantine. For him, it was not a blink of an eye. Maximus's psychological activities and even the horrific scenes in the depths of the ether did not affect his cold heart. Constantine continued to thrust the spear forward, piercing straight into the heart of Maximus' mutated huge body that was exposed to the air. A huge amount of blood splashed down on his face. Constantine pulled the trigger, even through the thick His skin could also see the dazzling fire erupting in the chest of the giant beast - he saw the Kree reconnaissance ship falling towards Attilan, the shield burned part of the hull, but there was still a large amount of debris crashing into Attilan. The palace; he saw Maximus laughing like a madman in the fire, and lying at his feet were the king and queen wearing tuning fork crowns, those were his parents; he saw the horrified eyes of everyone around him staring at his hands. dagger, and the angry eyes of the strange brother.

If you want to kill me, do it now. He heard himself looking at Medusa aside, and then at his brother who almost never spoke and could only communicate with people using a data pad, You have already Take everything from me, now Attilan is yours, Medusa is yours too. All my efforts for the throne are meaningless, I have nothing left to cherish... I can read Your thoughts, brother, your weakness surprises me. If you don't kill me, then one day I will drink your blood and chew your heart!

Execute him! A member of the royal family with white hair and beard pointed at Maximus and shouted loudly, but when he turned his dry eyeballs and looked away, the voice of the distant relative of the royal family suddenly became much quieter. It's your decision, King of Attilan. I'm sorry that I became emotional after seeing the murder of the previous king and queen.

Constantine pulled the trigger again, and the gunshot shattered all memories.

The giant beast's shoulder blades were instantly shattered, and its unnaturally grown shoulder muscles instantly bulged into a big bulge.

Another Janissary raised the garrison spear again and cut off Maximus's knees with a sharp blade. The giant beast collapsed causing the deck to dent, and the molten iron below glowed red from the cracks in the deck. At the same time, another giant beast that was fighting with Catherine also rushed over. It exhaled sound waves from its mouth, opened its bat wings and flew up quickly with the power of psychic energy, throwing Catherine off, and then headed towards Constantine and another The Praetorian Guards came rushing.

Facing the behemoth that was nearly six meters tall, Constantine and another Guardsman did not retreat. They just took a few steps back to the side, and the halberds in their hands continued to blast towards the oncoming thermonuclear warheads. After the bomb, Blackcard Burt was unable to stabilize his body in severe pain and fell heavily in front of the Guards. His body was covered with huge craters burned by the miniature thermonuclear warhead.

At this moment, Catherine also arrived wearing steel wings and flames.

Death! Devil!

She raised her sword high and slashed downwards, but she only cut off a few claws on the giant claw that Blackcade Burt had just raised in a hurry. Just as she was about to continue chopping, the psychic sound waves bursting out of Blackcard Burt's mouth knocked her away far away. The plasma ball fired by another battle sister with a plasma pistol was also instantly hit. Blow away. The battle sister activated the chain sword and rushed over. The buzzing chain saw wiped out a long spark on the claws and bones of Black Card Burt Gang, followed by a splatter of black blood and minced flesh. , the next moment the giant beast's claws pierced the abdomen of the battle sisters.

Death is the concept of the material universe. I have never been born and have never died. Maximus spit out a voice from his incomplete mouth, The history of human civilization is just a moment to this universe. I once looked at the universe Singularity Big Bang, I once watched the universe fall into heat death, now I will watch the human race, until the last human dies, I will stand in front of him and laugh at your useless efforts to resist chaos. I have countless You only have one chance, and we will win.

Remember my name, devil!

The battle sister shouted fervently, while not forgetting to hold down the chain sword's power source tightly so that the chain sword could penetrate deeper. The laws of the material universe inflicted intense pain on Blackcard Burt, but the Battle Sisters turned a blind eye to the claws that pierced their bodies and armor. Constantine and another Praetorian Guard are still on the way to rescue, but at this moment the battle sister has overloaded the plasma pistol, and the pressure relief valve emits a dazzling red warning light. She shouted fervently amidst the heat that continued to leak out, and even the armor could not prevent her palms from being burned by the high temperature.

I am Battle Sister Vera! When you appear in this universe again, I will also come to Bei. I will kill you every time until the end of the universe!

With the dazzling brilliance and rapidly expanding heat, the giant beast once named Blackcard Bertegang collapsed, and its head and arms were completely evaporated by the high temperature. Constantine looked at the row of deep tooth marks on his shoulder armor, and the crimson battle blood was also covered with blood, drying together with the blood spattered when he followed the emperor into the battlefield. The spear used in the dream was now in the emperor's hand, and he himself still held the garrison spear that had always been with him, but he didn't have the habit of naming his weapons, so he just Call this garrison spear by its number.

Did this really happen?

[This is just a dream, remember? We are using the subjective to influence the objective, like magic. 】

The battle marks on my body are real, and I can still smell the propellant. Constantine blinked and began to retrieve the battle records on the power armor. If what Catherine said was true, the armored convoy had just entered the crack in the deck when the battle occurred, and like blood on the cloak, the power armor's system should have recorded it. Constantine retrieved the battle video from that period, but found that he was not wearing a helmet at all during that period, because the emperor ordered him to take off his helmet at that time. Is this a coincidence? He looked at the emperor in confusion. The reason why that battle happened at that time was because I was not wearing a helmet?

【maybe. 】

So are Blackcade Burt and Maximus dead?

[Nothing really dies, matter is eternal. 】

The Praetorian Guard glanced at the Emperor. You know there's no use running away from your problems.

[The current status of Blackcard Burt and Maximus is not easy to define, because the etheric spiritual entity possessing them comes from the same concept, which means that after their death, the spiritual entity lost the material universe. of support. And because of what we did before, the energy transmitted here from behind the curtain is far less powerful than before. As for Black Card Burt and Maximus, there are no observers except us. We opened boxes, determine their status. 】

This means that we will be fighting a spirit that has lost its power at the portal?

[Just think of it as a ghost. It originally thought it could get two containers, but now it has nothing. Its power here can only blow up a piece of parchment. 】

Constantine was used to the emperor's sense of humor, but he would not really regard the emperor's sense of humor as a standard in his work. After all, many of the terrifying threats in the world were not as important to the emperor as the stones on the roadside that might make people sprain their feet. , but to others it is an outright mortal threat. Just like Blackcard Burt and Maximus, Constantine believed that the emperor could completely erase them from the material universe at any time as long as he wanted. However, the emperor sent him to the dreamland because of a deep game that he could not understand. complete the task.

I will ask the Mystic Mage to raise the defense level. Constantine turned his head and started to contact Master Hamil. After receiving the confused promise from Master Hamil, he had time to ask other questions. For example, why did he use that gun in the dream, and what was that gun? Why did Catherine and Vera appear in the dream? Why did he meet the Praetorian Guards from the future?

[No more questions, Constantine. 】

Constantine blinked. The flamethrowers of the armored convoy continued to spit out tongues of fire. The stench of burning humus and the black ash stirred up by the breeze made the environment here unbearable. The external temperature detected by the powered armored vehicle was close to 50 degrees Celsius, which was completely unsuitable without any protection. measures of human survival. He took the spear from the emperor's hand - he felt familiar as soon as he took it, and the feeling of using this weapon in his dream seemed to have become his muscle memory - he understood the weight and attack range of this gun, and understood Every detail of the pattern on this gun, understand the trigger strength of this gun and other details.

You're going to let me use this gun?

【Yes. 】

But I encountered many incredible things in my dreams.

[Those things have passed. No matter who Blackcade Burt and Maximus were and what experiences they had, they have become history. The archives of the Adeptus Adeptus will house Inhuman documents, but only the most bored archaeologists will dig up their meaningless history from the ashes and organize and codify it. Now, you need to use your subjective will to determine the objective facts through continuous observation. 】

What does this mean...Catherine? How many times has this happened?

The 9th time.

So why don't I remember the first seven?

Because we failed to complete the observation the first seven times. Catherine pointed to the two huge ferocious corpses on the deck. Everything we experienced here was a dream. This world is subjective, remember? If you determine this The world is real, then everything you encounter here will become a reality. In order to obtain the final victory, my lord adjusted the variables again and again, first it was me, then Vera, the Imperial Guard, and finally you. First there were just bolters, then there were sniper bolters, plasma pistols, chainswords, etc. All the variables were factors that changed the observation, just like changing the half-life of the radioactive element in the box.
