Chapter 81 Evaluation and Choice
"Everything is done here, I think there is no place that needs me for the time being."
After Gavins waited for the fleet to officially enter subspace navigation for a period of time, he stood up from the command seat on the bridge and said to Captain Tabers and Bishop Klein.
After the "baptism" and shock just now, Gavins once again confirmed that his character was not suitable for being a leader, and that he was correct in choosing the path of focusing on fighting as a champion swordsman.
After he insisted on completing his duties as the temporary commander of the fleet, he did not want to stay in this position that did not belong to him for one more minute.
This kind of comprehensive quality and determination that requires making choices and trade-offs in other directions at all times in addition to fighting is indeed inconsistent with his character.
"Please help yourself," Bishop Klein said.
The commander's affairs have come to an end at this point, but for the leader of the Mechanic-Priest, who must keep an eye on the entire fleet as it sails through the subspace, her work has just begun.
"You're doing well. May I ask where you plan to go?" This was a question from Captain Tabers.
"I will go to the medical room first to check on Calvin's condition. I think all my comrades, except those who are resting, should be there at this time." Gavins replied, and then he didn't wait for the two's reply, and went straight from the command The stage went down.
"A qualified paladin with a very clean and pure heart."
Bishop Klein looked at Gavins' retreating back and commented in her unique mechanical electric voice.
"A qualified leader of the Guards, he has a very determined heart to carry out the will of the Primarch."
Tabers added. He praised Gavins' existing work.
"An unqualified staff member has a poor overall view of the situation. He is also unwilling to take responsibility for the leader." The mechanical archbishop's next words were not so pleasant.
"So we need fresh blood to continue to enter the original body's honor guard. His guard should not only have a pure guard function." Tabers deeply agreed with Klein's words and raised questions about Calvin's future position. some views.
"Yes, a wise commander must have a group of generals who are good at fighting, and a wise monarch must have more than one wise minister under his command." Bishop Klein did not directly express his personal opinions. Opinions, but expressed her opinions implicitly using ancient Terran proverbs.
"So if the original body hopes to use itself as a link and cornerstone to influence the direction of the Gray Knights in the future, it should start by cultivating a group of low-level officers in backbone positions. Isn't it?" As a soldier, Tybos is much more straightforward. He clearly expressed his views on the future status and role of the Primarch Guard in the Chapter and even the Legion according to his own will.
"May the Ohm Messiah always reside in your wise mind." Bishop Klein did not discuss this topic in depth. She felt that it was enough to obtain the above consensus in one conversation, so she used the teachings of their Mechanicum to A special blessing brings closure to this conversation.
In the middle section of the ship's hull, Gavins was walking alone in the upper left passage on his way to the medical room.
"I am indeed not a qualified chief of staff. Strictly speaking, I don't even have the capabilities of a staff member..." Gavins walked while thinking about the "evaluations" he just heard, shaking his head and summing up with a smile.
As a staff member or temporary leader, perhaps Gavins did not show enough talent.
But as a leader among the psychic masters in the Gray Knights Chapter, he is undoubtedly responsible for the appearance of the military side of the Chapter.
His combat power is not limited to fighting, but is reflected in all aspects of life.
The two veterans who were relatively civilians in the battle group obviously underestimated the boundaries of his abilities.
Just like the "evaluation" he inadvertently heard just now, it was just his instinct to collect battlefield information as a soldier.
Or think about it conversely, is this casual comment also deliberately made for him to hear "accidentally"? Maybe this in itself is a kind reminder?
Too complicated. This kind of twists and turns is too complicated for these Paladins, who besides fighting on the front line, only stay in the Hall of Champions all year round.
Gavins decided not to think about these things that he was destined not to be good at and enjoy, but to focus on the safety of the Primarch first.
After all, this is the core of his job.
The reason why the Grand Master Council of the chapter initially regarded these champion swordsmen as basic members of the Honor Guard was partly due to the absolute safety of the original body;
On the other hand, it also has a lot to do with the fact that the war group has never had a similar talent pool before.
After all, they are different from those Astartes and Custodes.
The Gray Knights are so young that whether they are the Astartes in the Legion era or the Forbidden Army in the Ten Thousand Legion era, they have a deeper foundation than the Gray Knights who have just been born and are stretched thin.
And this kind of background may not be reflected in the external performance of combat capabilities in the battle group, but more in the operation and maintenance of the system of talent cultivation within the battle group.
Although Gavins resisted a little, his sense of responsibility still led him to fall into such thinking.
And as he was thinking and walking, the medical room arrived unknowingly.
After walking around the corner, Gavins raised his head and saw the hatch of the medical room at the end of his field of vision, as well as five Terminators lined up...
"Kicked out?" Gavins realized what had happened and did not want to let his thoughts worry everyone. He began to have a bad mouth habit.
"Yes, the pharmacist brother said, either he comes out or we come out." Tarik's mouth is still so efficient, always one step ahead of his brain. He quickly answered Gavins' questions.
"Okay, then I will wait here." Gavins did not try to enter the medical cabin again, so as not to embarrass himself again in front of the brothers.
He calmly stood at the end of the queue next to the wall, adjusted the Terminator power armor to lock mode, and began to meditate with his eyes closed.
Anyway, you can tell from their looks that Calvin's condition must be quite stable, otherwise the big guys in this group of gray knights are not the ones that the pharmacist brothers can easily persuade.
Contrary to their estimates, Calvin's condition is indeed quite stable, but only in his physical body...
The time of Calvin in the spiritual world almost stopped at the moment he swallowed the fruit from the eternal cancer.
After that, he was faced with the result of the eternal cancer devouring the entire population of nearly 2 billion people, and he was so shocked that he no longer considered the chance of reality.
Yes, this fruit comes from the eternal cancer's plundering and killing of the entire lower nest.
But this fruit is by no means just a collection of nearly two billion lives in the nest.
The single soul matrix has long been extracted by the Eternal Cancer and used for its own growth, and what was left for Calvin, or in other words, what it originally left for itself on this fruit for the purpose of upgrading the devil, is the benefit of these millions of sentient beings. Desire and obsession.
Just as courage and war, tyranny and slaughter, fear and death are excellent nourishment for the followers of the Lord of War;
Indulgence and distortion are the perfect dishes for the Lord of Pleasure; (The only being that cannot complete self-contradiction and unity in philosophy and theology, so it is the weakest. It is really the crumb of the four gods, the kind that no one can defeat .)
Conspiracy and accident, time and transformation are the eternal pursuits of the Lord of Tampering;
Then belonging to the Lord of life and corruption is the soul's desire for life and despair of death.
Such is the authority of the Chaos Gods. Most of their powers have completed the contradiction and unity of many aspects of authority in the pursuit of their own core doctrines over a long period of time.
And because of the differences in the specific righteousness of the apostles who were sent down, each apostle descended into the world by the gods also had different interpretations of the righteousness of their deities when they spread disasters.
If Hiram is still alive, then the side he corresponds to is the Lord of Corruption, so his righteousness is to die first and then live, to silence the earth in the death of spreading disease, and then to give them rebirth.
Therefore, what Hailan really gained in the process of exercising his morality was the desire of all living beings for life.
So what about the eternal cancer now before Calvin?
On the contrary, it is about the one side of authority that corresponds to the Lord of Life, a true despair hidden behind the illusion of hope in life.
Therefore, the morality it exercises is to exhaust all resources in the process of unbridled growth of life and then go to death.
Therefore, we learned that what it really captures from the souls of all living beings in the hive city is the final despair left by all living beings in the face of death after the step-by-step killing.
Yes, what Calvin is facing now is the despair coming from two billion souls.
The overwhelming black despair was so rich that even light was swallowed up.
No ordinary person can exist in the face of such despair for half a second without being contaminated and assimilated.
Even if the emperor appears and his power favors some souls with firm faith, they still cannot endure this boundless soul impact for too long.
After all, when the torrent of despair of two billion souls breaks through your soul defense line with unstoppable momentum and rushes down from your spiritual world like an upside-down Milky Way, they themselves are performing a kind of thing called Hopelessness concept.
This is such a great and dark force.
If it weren't for this kind of material that is only used by demons to break through their own essence when they ascend to the devil, they would be too precious; if it weren't for the conditions that are so difficult to promote and cannot be actively released.
If this dark power is used as a weapon and released towards a specific person.
Not to mention the living saints of the national religion, even those demon princes who have recovered their own subspace essence and became demons from the Primarch, also regard this as poison. A single blow will also damage the root. Just roll back into the subspace and spend tens of millions of years recuperating.
This is what Calvin faced.
And he couldn't simply use his best devouring method to deal with it.
Because he is a human being, not a demon.
The recognition of a person's identity is the cornerstone of his soul's existence and sublimation.
If he, like the devil, looks at the billions of people in the empire from the same perspective as food.
So how is he different from the devil?
Of course he can deceive himself that this is something that has been digested by the devil, and this is something he got from the devil.
But people can deceive, can the heart be deceived?
If it could, then this idealistic universe wouldn't have so many stories.
But if not, then Calvin would have no choice but to choose the seemingly least possible path except quitting:
Give these obsessions redemption!
Yes, Calvin was so arrogant in the spiritual world against the black torrent falling from the sky!
Calvin, who almost drowned his golden body in the river of despair that hung upside down in the sky, did not think about protecting himself, let alone use the sharp sword of order in his hand to purify the evil in front of him.
He would rather die here than use such simple and crude methods to face these innocent lives and souls!
Why did he come to this universe?
Isn't it to protect the home and the country?
Don’t you want to give this galaxy polluted by sin a pure land?
Don't you want to give this desperate universe a little change and hope?
Whose home is he protecting?
Whose country is it that we are defending?
Who is his pure land reserved for?
For whom are his changes and hopes meaningful?
If he just relies on personal interests and chooses to purify the sufferings in front of him in the simplest and crudest way and benefit himself.
What's the point of all this?
Can the order in his hands still be regarded as the source of all good?
Is he also worthy of being a savior?
What kind of soldier is he?
hypocritical! It is actually the greatest sin!
The black torrent called despair is still impacting his golden soul, and the tide flowing through his soul is rapidly polluting his spiritual world.
Black clouds began to gather over Calvin's spiritual world.
After blocking out his silver sun that symbolized his soul, the rotten rain that symbolized despair turned into droplets of black rain and poured down from the sky.
The ocean of consciousness was polluted by this rain, causing huge waves to hit the central land; and as the rain accumulated, black sludge representing pollution began to appear on the island-like land.
The rain in the sky is crying, which is the embodiment of the despair in billions of souls in Calvin's spiritual world.
And Eternal Cancer, who originally hid part of himself in the fruit in order to gain a chance of survival, seemed to see the hope of his own rebirth after witnessing Calvin's rat-throwing weapon!
It excitedly gathered from the scattered hiding places among countless souls.
Its body was tumbling happily in the dark clouds like an eight-clawed black octopus.
This will allow the black rainwater to fall faster and the pollution that has already started to get closer to that point, the point where once it reaches a certain level it will be irreversible.
In real life, Calvin's physical symptoms also began to be affected by the crisis in the spiritual world.
The waves of subspace began to surge violently on the originally peaceful passage of the Revenant Redeemer.
Purple and gray mixed with abstract clouds that do not belong to reality appear around the battleship.
The blasphemous voice from Chaos penetrated the Geiger field and the murmurs resounded in every corner of the Revenant Redeemer.
Countless creatures from the other side of reality seemed to feel some inspiration, and they began to cheer and celebrate around the battleship where Calvin was located.
Celebrating another great victory for their master, celebrating the upcoming birth of a new prince in their power!
