But the emperor only said that.
"Because I believe in you, Giants of Light."
The emperor spoke to himself, then got up and began to walk along the path in the park.
"Giant, what do you think of this world?"
Li Xianmai followed behind the emperor, thought for a moment, and then answered.
"This planet... no, it should be the entire Milky Way. In my view, everyone is working together towards peace and a future. I have a general understanding of human history. There have been several wars in history, but thanks to the legendary red giant and the efforts of later generations of humans, this world has become a place to yearn for."
Li Xiang shared what he had seen and heard, as well as his opinions.
"Ah...Is that so? Do you really think so?"
"Yes, that's what I think."
"That's great, at least we humans haven't let Seven down."
The emperor remarked with such emotion.
The sounds of laughter and chatter could be heard from the roadside, as if the valiant expeditionary force had returned.
There was also an Iron Man playing trendy music for the Eldar girl, while several human children and an unknown alien were enjoying it.
The world is at peace.
"But originally, this world wouldn't have become like this..."
The emperor spoke again.
"In the time that it should have existed, there was no peace in this universe, only eternal war. Human empires could only struggle to die in the darkness."
"In that era, knowledge was dead, superstition prevailed, and technology became a religious ritual that required prayer to activate. Civilization would regress in ignorance."
"Enemies are everywhere: the warp, traitors, the corruption of the Chaos Gods, and war is everywhere."
"In such an era, individual lives are worthless, and sacrificing trillions of lives is just normal behavior... This is the world as it should be, a world without hope, only war; without dreams, only sacrifice; without a future, only a desperate world of struggling to survive..."
The emperor seemed to be talking to himself, using simple words to tell a cruel story.
"But now things are different. There was a giant... who sacrificed himself to save the world."
“That giant—it’s Seven!” Li Xiang quickly interjected.
He had already guessed that the world had been changed by Seven.
But according to the Emperor, Seven... was he sacrificed?
"What happened to Seven? Please tell me!"
Li Xiang spoke urgently.
“Seven, he…”
The emperor had just opened his mouth, wanting to answer Li Xiang's question about Seven's fate, when a huge explosion came from the palace.
The two turned around and saw that a crack had appeared in the palace, from which countless demons were pouring out.
"That's a rift in the warp! Why is it here?!"
Li Xiang had fought in subspace, so he knew what was in front of him.
"Why...how could this happen!"
The emperor's figure also began to fade, because he had not actually left the underground network of the palace; what met Li Xiang was a psionic clone.
"No one else could possibly know about the Web Path, let alone the evil gods. Even if they knew the location of the Web Path, they couldn't possibly break through the world barrier left by Seven. Besides, the Web Path also has my own psionic barrier."
Even the emperor was dumbfounded.
He never expected that the evil god would have such power, and that it would attack Terra without any warning.
"I'm sorry, Giant, it seems I need to deal with this subspace rift first."
The Emperor's psionic clones began to shrink, and it seemed they wouldn't be able to maintain their form for much longer.
"And the giant, don't make a move. I suspect this surprise attack was specifically aimed at you!"
The emperor spoke urgently.
"In the past, Seven saved this universe, but at that time a rift in the subspace opened, and after Seven was pulled in, he disappeared completely. We have not found Seven since."
"So, Titan, under no circumstances should you make a move. This sudden situation might be aimed at you..."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, his figure disappeared.
Meanwhile, beneath the palace, the emperor opened his eyes, his gaze filled with fury.
The enraged emperor used his psychic powers to don a suit of golden armor and wield a greatsword.
The attack was too sudden, because in the Emperor's expectations, the Four Evil Gods were currently completely incapable of detecting and breaking through the net.
...Unless, unless there are other, more powerful and terrifying beings behind the Four Evil Gods!
Just like Seven back then, Seven had already expelled the subspace and defeated Tzeentch, one of the Four Evil Gods.
But a subspace rift suddenly appeared, pulling Seven into it, and after that, Seven never appeared again.
Could it be that this time, the evil god was also helped by the mastermind behind the scenes?
So what is the purpose of this mastermind?
Could it be because of the giants?
But in any case, it had already happened. The Emperor realized that the disaster had occurred because the explosion of the network had caused a backlash to his mind, but he had to focus his attention and try to fill the gap.
The Netway itself is a tunnel that isolates the warp. Once its barrier to reality is breached, the raging warp energy and the thirsty demons will flood into reality like a burst dam.
Not only the Emperor, but also the Primarchs who had been sent back to Terra by the Emperor's loving education were still eating at their old Marda's place when an explosion occurred, and they also saw a warp rift appear in the sky above Terra.
"Ah? What's going on?"
Horus put down his knife and fork and looked out the window.
"A warp rift? Why would it appear here? Could it be that the Emperor is truly about to become a god?"
"Horus! Never mind, our fleet is in outer space. Order the army to attack immediately. We must stop those demons!"
Several Primarchs immediately got up and left to prepare for the battle.
Then, as the Primarch reached the door, he suddenly seemed to remember something and immediately turned to a woman inside the house.
"Mom, we're leaving now."
"Mom, I'll have the Astartes warriors take you to a safe place!"
"We're going to fight now, goodbye Mom!"
Chapter 142 Treachery
Beneath the palace, the emperor, alone, wielded a sword and attempted to seal the rift in the subspace.
Meanwhile, in the sky, the expeditionary fleet had arrived in front of the warp rift, using the cannons on the warships to intercept the demons spewing out from the rift.
Yes, it gushed out.
Like a tsunami.
This disaster came too suddenly, almost without anyone's warning.
Even so, the Emperor, knowing about psychic powers and with the expeditionary fleet already anchored above the Empire, was able to assemble urgently the moment the disaster struck.
The fleet of warships slowed the demons' arrival on the ground.
On the ground, the Iron Men reacted the fastest, taking control of all the transport machines almost instantly and then using these machines to transport civilians to safety.
To reduce casualties.
But there were just too many demons, and the fleet could see that they were about to reach the ground.
After all, no matter how powerful the firepower, how could it possibly destroy a massive tsunami?
Emperors, too, are often overwhelmed with other matters.
Because when he tried to seal the subspace rift, he discovered that someone was blocking and resisting his power.
The emperor was all too familiar with that power.
It is the power of the Four Gods.
Moreover, it's not just one, but the power of all four evil gods!
Through psychic powers, the Emperor could hear the mockery of the four evil gods.
Khorne: "Emperor, you are nothing without the giants!"
Slaanesh: "Heh, you're the one who broke the rules first, taking the initiative to help these humans."
Nurgle: "Emperor, the original plot is to plunge the galaxy into corruption and strife. Neither you nor Seven can change the predetermined fate. That lord will not allow the plot to deviate from its course for the sake of his own story."
Tzeentch: "..."
While keeping the evil god in check, the emperor was also deep in thought.
'That person'?
According to the four evil gods, there was indeed a more mysterious and powerful being behind this crisis who helped them.
Moreover, this being is aware of his own Web Dao project and even claims to want to turn the galaxy back into its original storyline... the original storyline?
"Could this be the future I originally predicted?"
The emperor realized that the so-called predetermined fate was perhaps the very future of a pile of dog shit that he had predicted back then.
Why did the four evil gods suddenly gather together again?
It's normal. These evil gods are capricious. They might be fighting each other one second, but if someone suddenly says, "Let's go beat up the Emperor!", then they will most likely actually come as a group.
However, the usually cheeky and cunning Jianqi showed little emotional fluctuation at this moment.
Outside, the demons have landed on the ground and are fighting against the Astartes warriors, the Iron Men, and the Eldar.
There's even the presence of the Titanium Empire among them.
This period marks the umpteenth meeting of the Galactic Federation, chaired by Macardo.
