Chapter 499 An Empire without an Emperor
As the founder of the human empire, the Emperor rules the entire galaxy. His subjects are measured in trillions and are extremely gifted in psychic abilities, almost on an equal footing with the four evil gods of the warp.
He has reached the pinnacle of power.
According to common sense, it is impossible for such a supreme ruler to give up everything and work for another force.
But what the coalition government exchanges is the stable operation of the stargate system, or the future of humanity in the galaxy.
If there was one thing in the world that still concerned the Emperor, it was the future of humanity in the galaxy.
Therefore, the exchange conditions proposed by the coalition government may seem fanciful, but they are not completely impossible to achieve. It depends on whether the Emperor's love for mankind is deep enough.
"I can agree to your terms."
Under Qian Feiyan's gaze, the emperor slowly spoke.
Many things in the Warhammer 40,000 universe can be questioned, but the Emperor's love for humanity is unquestionable.
Hearing the emperor's words, Qian Feiyan's heart beat faster.
Done?
"I have some things to arrange. Once I have arranged these things, I will go to your place." The emperor paused for a long time before remembering the word that he had almost forgotten, "work."
Work!
The emperor suddenly felt like he couldn't help laughing.
Excluding his experience as emperor in the Human Empire, he couldn't even remember the last time he worked and what the content of his work was. It was such a long time ago.
Unloader? the scientist? librarian?
Complex memory fragments flashed in the emperor's mind, briefly bringing the emperor back to those ordinary and beautiful years.
During those years, he was willing to be ordinary and liked to share the joys and sorrows of ordinary people with the crowd.
Although there were no enthusiastic cheers like mountains roaring and tsunami roaring, nor was there blood boiling like gunfire and bullets raining down, my heart was always at ease, and I didn’t always feel overwhelmed like now.
Suddenly, Magnus's face appeared before his eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts returned to reality.
Magnus is the guy he hates the most recently. When he thinks of Magnus, random things like Tzeentch, betrayal, danger, etc. will pop up in his mind.
At this time, Qian Feiyan bowed slightly with joy and said seriously: "We will provide you with our citizenship and ensure that you can enjoy the same benefits as us!"
Benefit packages are usually directly proportional to productivity.
The coalition government colonizes the multiverse, and there is no need to mention the welfare benefits provided to citizens, but it is nothing to the emperor. Qian Feiyan specifically mentioned it here mainly to liven up the atmosphere.
"I'm looking forward to it." The emperor nodded slightly, "I will let Malcador draft the imperial decree. Your people will take those decrees to various nodes of the Stargate project. Everyone will obey your orders."
He paused and then emphasized: "Please build the Star Gate as soon as possible."
The coalition government is powerful. He believes that under the protection of the coalition government, star gate projects in various places will be completed at an accelerated pace, and they will also have strong resistance to the invasion of the evil gods of subspace.
But the nights are long and there are many dreams, and the Stargate project is completed and put into use one day earlier, so the evil god of subspace can play fewer tricks.
"I need to report to the top." Qian Feiyan bowed slightly, "On behalf of the coalition government, I sincerely look forward to your joining. I think you will definitely find a lot of things you are interested in here."
After all, after getting the emperor's permission, Qian Feiyan left.
The Emperor's agreement to join the Coalition Government was an important matter, and he had to inform his superiors immediately.
As for the construction of the Star Gate system, it is also very important in the first place, but compared with the Emperor joining the coalition government, it is an insignificant matter. Just report it together.
Shortly after Qian Feiyan left, Malcador was summoned, put aside the endless imperial affairs, and came to the palace to meet the emperor.
Malcador is an old man who has followed the Emperor since ancient Terra. He has handled countless matters for the Emperor. He is the Emperor's right-hand man and knows many secrets about the Emperor. He is even closer to the Emperor than Primarchs who were treated as tools by the Emperor.
The emperor will always inform him of important matters.
"Your Majesty, I have a bad feeling. Did something bad happen?" Makado asked bluntly.
As a psyker, Malcador can draw revelations about the future from the ripples in the Warp.
Although it was not very clear, he knew on the way to the meeting that something big was going to happen in the empire, but he didn't know what kind of big thing it would be.
Is the United Government going to war with the Imperium of Man?
Is the evil god of subspace making another move?
Are there new aliens popping up in the galaxy?
This matter was worthy of the Emperor bringing him over to discuss face to face. It was by no means an ordinary matter.
Malcador's imagination was very good. He thought of the complex government affairs surrounding this matter, including resource mobilization and large-scale online wrangling with various original bodies. He suddenly felt that one was bigger than the other.
The Emperor stared at Malcador and said slowly: "Malcador, I am leaving the Empire of Man."
Machado said without changing his face: "Your Majesty, I have a bad feeling. Has something bad happened?"
"I am leaving the Imperium of Man," the Emperor repeated.
Macado seemed to be deaf and said in the same tone: "Your Majesty, I have a bad feeling. Has something bad happened?"
oh! My dear Majesty!
what did you say?
My old horse didn't hear anything!
Emperor:.
At this moment, the palace fell into an eerie silence.
Malcador stood upright at the foot of the steps.
His stooped waist was now as straight as a dead man's. He stretched his long neck and stared at the emperor's face, his bloodshot eyes widened, exposing a large area of the white of his eyes that made people feel chilled behind him.
To the Emperor, this was a form of silent torture.
After a long while, the emperor sighed: "You have been following me for many years, but this time I want you to stay and take care of the empire for me while I am away."
"Nios!" Malcador interrupted the Emperor, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Not only did he interrupt the Emperor, he also called him by his first name. What a blasphemy!
But Machado couldn't care about other things.
At this moment, he wanted to jump on the emperor's lap, spit his spit into the emperor's face, and ask how the emperor could make such a ridiculous decision at this critical moment?
Could it be that he was stimulated by Magnus' betrayal?
Malcador gritted his teeth and said, "Ask me to take care of the empire for you. Do you think I have the ability?"
If the Emperor leaves the Empire, will the Empire still be called the Empire?
The imperial capital is gone!
