Elaine's fist was quite heavy.
It is precisely because of this that this reprimand deserves its corresponding weight.
"Ahem..."
Luo Jia looked up at the scarlet figure in front of her. Her eyes, which were gradually blurring due to dizziness, could only barely see her eyes burning with golden flames.
To be honest, this punch almost made me feel threatened. If it were an ordinary Astartes, even his head would be blown away on the spot with this punch.
But Luojia didn't have any thoughts of resisting... just like when he was expecting to be buried in Zhuang Sen's cyclone torpedo not long ago, his heart was filled with an indescribable desire for self-destruction.
Especially after he saw that future.
Everything he believes in will be destroyed by his own hands in the future. For a religious believer, there is no punishment more terrifying than this.
Even though it was just something that hadn't happened yet, Luo Jia felt endless fear in her heart.
Just like the feeling of powerlessness when the perfect city was destroyed in the past, he still remembers the scene when he issued those cruel orders.
But the self at that time looked almost exactly the same as the self in the future.
They are all fanatics who will do whatever it takes to get the answer in their hearts, and they are terrifying fanatics who will burn tens of billions of lives in an attempt to prove something.
Blood slowly dripped from his forehead. Luo Jia seemed to have thought of something and sneered.
"Create...?"
Whether it is the past or the future, I have indeed [created] something.
For example, the perfect city, such as the Book of Holy Words, such as the faith of the God-Emperor.
But those creations were undoubtedly dirty, and even if there were any precious things in them, they probably had nothing to do with him.
Even in that future, Luojia saw that his deviant self was debated by mortals using the Holy Words to the point where he had nothing to say.
That kind of self is simply an out-and-out clown.
But just because of this, there is a part of him that is difficult for him to reach, and it is exactly what he has always longed for in his heart.
In the future Luojia, he could not see any shadow of patriarchy or pressure from the divine authority. He was just like an ordinary and ordinary human being - even if not perfect, he was complete enough.
Although he has now completely escaped the influence of Kor Phaeron with the help of Elaine, the cold reprimand from the God-Emperor still left an unhealable scar in his heart.
But that's exactly the problem - if you think about it carefully, no one is wrong.
Elaine was not wrong in wanting to expose the ugly truth about Kor Phaeron and Erebus.
It would not be wrong for the Emperor to reprimand himself for being dissatisfied with the effectiveness of the Word Bearers in the Great Crusade.
The ordinary residents of the Perfect City who suffered the disaster of fire and rain, and the Word Bearers warriors who were forced to execute them personally were not wrong.
The only one who was wrong was himself, Erebus and Kor Phaeron.
Although Luo Jia did not want to compare himself with those two scum, no matter it was the future he saw or the current situation, he had an indelible responsibility for the Perfect City incident.
Such as those cruel and terrible orders, such as the hysterical search for the truth at the end of faith.
No matter when, [Luojia] is like this.
A fool blinded by faith, a coward who spent his whole life following power.
Luo Jia could no longer remember why she was trying to heal her heart with faith.
What is the Emperor's miracle that fascinates everyone? Or the pain of being whipped by your father?
Maybe both.
Seeing Luo Jia's increasingly depressed look, Elaine gradually became angry.
"I don't know what you saw in the future, Luojia."
"Maybe you are angry because of your own fall, maybe you are sad because of the death of the empire - or maybe you see what you long for in that distant future that is hard to reach... But in the final analysis, it is a A future that urgently needs change.”
"Think about it, my brother. Think about what burdens you and I carry."
"From the moment we were born, we have been burdened with responsibilities that are not our own, just because our makeup is completely different from mortals, Astartes, and even our father... It is precisely because of this that he will put the two Ten legions are delivered to us to gallop and fight in the stars in his name and in the name of mankind."
“The constitution of [the self] is something that is taken back to each of us at birth.”
“We don’t need to toddle, we don’t need to babbling, and we don’t need to read a lot of books, we can dig out the talents and talents that our father has given to each of us from the depths of our genes, and this talent is built as [ Most of what constitutes the self—"
Elaine said seriously that in her eyes, the innate abilities and talents of the Primarch represented not only the responsibilities of the Lord of the Legion, but also the expectations of the Lord of Humanity for them.
Although it was not well known that the Emperor was not good at communicating with words, Elaine could clearly feel the many thoughts of his father in the many gifts engraved in his genes.
In the eyes of the Lord of the Red Sand, he is just a father who doesn't know how to communicate with his children.
Even though he did entrust himself with many extremely heavy responsibilities, Elaine knew that the delivery of these responsibilities itself was proof of trust.
"Perturabo—my father wanted him to be transformed into incredibly strong steel."
"Jonson - his father wanted him to use reason to control the beast in his heart."
"Horus - Father wants him to lead humanity to its true future."
"Although I don't know every Primarch brother as well as Horus, each of us has more or less indispensable value and ability, and also has tiring shortcomings."
"Don't let self-destruction consume you, Luojia."
"You are far from a martyr who can die now, and the Word Bearers scattered among the stars are by no means spreading useless truths."
"People who have awakened from the ignorance of the old night need your guidance. Their broken rationality still needs a clear and obvious faith to guide them towards true knowledge - this is why my father has never given you too much guidance on your faith. The reason is that even though he hates religion and superstition so much, he knows how important it is to have a missionary who can guide people toward the light."
"From the beginning to the end, his anger towards you has been nothing but an expectation, hoping that you can replace him and radiate the brilliance of faith and the guide of the truth that he himself does not like."
"That is the path that those with the truth should take."
