Cypher nodded, continued to stare at the palace, and said in a low voice: "You could have stayed on the original body's ship with your compatriots, and even swaggered through the city under the protection of the original body, so why did you come to me? My purpose and What does it have to do with you?"
Hillandry didn't answer. Of course she had a bigger goal than Zipher, but this goal might seem a bit scary to others.
Cypher met Hillandri before rescuing Guilliman from Blackstone Fortress.
Hillandri only knew that Cypher wanted to appear at this critical node of fate, lend a helping hand to the original body, and then ask the original body to agree to take her to meet the Lord of Humanity.
The reason why the Veil Walker knows so clearly is because if Cypher doesn't tell the truth, he can't be led directly into the Blackstone Fortress through the webway.
Hillandry was very curious about one thing, and that was what Cypher was going to do.
Even the Laughing God Xi Lego couldn't make a clear prophecy to tell his followers what the human named Cypher wanted to do.
After getting along for some time, Hillandre guessed that Cypher had two purposes.
First: Reforge the sword of the original body behind him, which is the sword of the Lion King, to wash away the sins of Cypher's identity.
Second: Give the Emperor a sword.
Regardless of the purpose, what Cypher did was of certain benefit to the Laughing God and the Harlequin Troupe.
"I don't want to go find the Primarch. It's not feasible for the Primarch to take us to see the Emperor." Cypher put his hands on his guns and analyzed calmly, "I was supposed to be the one leading the Primarch to escape from the Webway. But the appearance of the Tyrones disrupted everything. The Primarch not only managed to escape, but also took back his Macragge's Glory. My role was not big, and it was not enough to give the Primarch an offer he could not refuse. favor."
Hearing this, Hillandre nodded in approval, she thought so too.
Cypher looked at the entrance of the palace: "Can you think of a way to send me in? Just send me in."
"Are you having a problem with this?" Hillandry poked her head with a slender finger. "You want to sneak into the palace? The imperial army can find you within thirty seconds, stab you to death with a spear, and then hang you on the palace. Displayed on the palace walls."
Cypher also felt that he was quite crazy. As far as he knew, there could be no gaps in the guard deployment of the imperial army in the palace.
It's impossible to sneak in.
But if even Harlequin thinks it's impossible, it's beyond Cypher's expectation.
"Can't you use the webway?" Cypher asked.
"Understand your identity. You are a barbarian and an ape. I can help you use the webway not because I have any good impressions of you, but because the God of Laughter guided me to do so." Hillandry looked down on Cypher, "Help you enter." The palace? Don’t even think about it.”
This was not the first time that Cypher had dealt with the Eldar. He also knew the nature of these pointed ears, so he was not angry.
It's just that this trip has really become a tourist trip to Terra. As for entering the palace, I can't even think about it.
……
"Ceph."
"The Releaser."
"The end of my suffering."
"thief."
Cypher, who was resting for the first time in twelve years, suddenly heard a whisper. He thought he was still in the Eye of Terror or the Maelstrom, and the sounds he heard were the nonsense of dark gods and warp creatures in his ears.
This whisper made Seve stand up instinctively, raising his guns and pointing them forward.
When he realized that he was in Terra, his mood changed from fear and vigilance to ecstasy.
For that whisper must have come from the Emperor's voice.
"I've been... I've been... I've been..."
"Come, come, come... Royal Palace... Royal Palace... Royal Palace... pass..."
A whisper that made no sense at all called to Cypher, touching every nerve in Cypher's body.
Like a crazy puppet, Lord Cypher walked out of the room and the manor dully, and then he met the dead former host of the Astropath, Op Frank.
Frank was standing in a strange posture at this time, and Cypher could see that this guy's bones were broken and he was in the state of the living dead.
There was frost in the air, and in Terra's hottest season, there was a blizzard.
"Come... to the palace..." Frank's eyes were dull and he spoke like a puppet being manipulated.
The whispers that Cypher heard came from Frank, but he could understand that Frank was just a carrier, a carrier with superhuman psychic talents and good at carrying psychic energy.
Cypher immediately followed Frank.
The two walked to the edge of the palace and penetrated the wall directly.
The moment he entered the palace, Cypher felt the attention of the Imperial Guards in various light and dark positions, but the eyes of those Imperial Guards just glanced around like cameras, as if they saw nothing.
Cypher and Frank floated into the palace like ghosts, passing countless detection instruments and imperial troops along the way, but they were unable to be discovered as if they were invisible.
Finally the two came to the Golden Throne.
Frank's body has been burned to ashes by psychic energy and is floating in the air.
Cypher stood alone in front of the giant staircase leading to the Golden Throne.
"come over."
The whisper sounded again, this time without a carrier as a medium. Seve felt that his soul was briefly pulled out of the body by the whisper for a few seconds and then forced back in. This was a painful experience.
But Cypher persisted, climbed the stairs, and headed towards the Golden Throne.
Every step was painful, but Cypher's mission drove him forward.
Finally, Cypher, who came to the Golden Throne, saw a man standing on the Golden Throne, screaming loudly as he endured the most cruel torture in the universe.
Three chapters first, two more to come
Chapter 379 The miserable young man
"Emperor."
Cypher knelt before the throne.
If there was a third person present at this time, that person would see Seve's distorted and ugly face, as well as the tears that kept flowing from him.
The psychic powers and the horror before him almost drove Cypher crazy.
"The rescuer."
"key."
"Loyalists."
"thief."
"traitor."
Countless voices echoed in Saifu's ears.
The Emperor spoke to Cypher for only a second before removing the psychic powers from Cypher.
And Cypher felt as if his brain was being placed in a pot, almost boiling. When the black ashes that could suppress psychic energy floated under the throne, Cypher felt as if he had returned to the world from hell.
In this second, the Emperor seemed to have said everything, and yet it seemed as if he had said nothing.
Cypher felt that countless emperors were standing on the most cruel punishment machine composed of golden thrones, and wanted to reach out for help.
It also felt like there were many emperors telling how terrible the pain they had endured for ten thousand years was.
But these voices are not all.
Some emperors angrily criticized Cypher, saying that what he and his predecessors had done was useless, and that instead of finding ways to free themselves, it would be better to kill a few human enemies on the battlefield.
But Cypher did feel the Emperor's cry for help, it was real.
"I'm here to free you." Cypher took out the sword of the Gene Father. The sword was broken, but the sharpness was still there. "Everything I did was to bring you back to life. There are many people like me. Doing the same thing, sacrificing one after another for the same purpose.”
Cypher felt he was right.
Especially when he was led into the deepest part of the palace by the emperor himself.
It must be the Emperor's wish to be freed from the Golden Throne.
So Cypher knelt on the ground and raised the Lion King's sword. At this moment, he suddenly saw many things.
A vast, advanced, and wealthy alien empire.
The scream of a dark god awakening.
The alien empire was instantly destroyed, and 90% of the entire race died. The remaining individuals who were still alive were either too far away from the location where the Dark God awakened, or they hid in the webway and were not affected.
Through these images, Cypher saw what the Emperor wanted to tell him.
That is, if you are killed and reborn on the Golden Throne, of course you will be reborn, but humans will also face the same fate as that alien empire.
But what the Emperor revealed confused Cypher.
Doesn't the Emperor want to be freed and reborn?
At this time, the door to the Golden Throne suddenly closed.
A psychic storm was set off throughout the throne area.
Seve felt like someone was grabbing his throat, and he was lifted up without any resistance, ten meters above the ground, and the sword and gun in his hands fell off.
At this time, Cypher heard someone arguing.
One party angrily accuses the other party of killing Cypher, and the only chance of relief will slip through their fingers.
The other party angrily denounced the other party that if the other party stood up from the throne, mankind would suffer disaster, and people like Cypher should be killed.
The psychic powers of both sides were exerted on Cypher at the same time. One person protected him, and the other used psychic powers to tear him apart.
After a moment of stalemate, all the voices were unified.
"Ceph."
Cypher heard the most genuine call for unity of will.
Cypher suddenly realized one thing, that is, he was brought to the Golden Throne because the Emperor wanted to be freed, but not all Emperors wanted to be freed, and most of them did not.
The purpose of these emperors who did not want to be freed from bringing Cypher was to personally kill the only person who could free themselves, so as to prevent the entire human race from being destroyed by themselves like the Ancient Eldar Empire was destroyed by Slaanesh.
"I can't stand up..."
In one moment the Emperor spoke many words.
Cypher heard the Emperor say that humanity did not have a webway, and that once he stood up, humanity would be completely destroyed.
Cypher heard the Emperor say again that you are a loyal person, and part of my will is using psychic power to protect you. I cannot kill you for the time being, but if you also think you are a loyal person, you should put the gun in your mouth and pull the trigger.
