Chapter 410
"So... this is a demon?"
Wu Wu Wu Pifu glanced sideways at the bird-man, which now only had one head left, and then he nodded slowly: "Yes, it doesn't seem to feel pain, so it really is a monster."
The bird-man actually wasn't afraid; it cackled and said: "My master is..." "Fuck!"
Everyone looked at the bird-man with confused expressions. Of course, Wu Wu Wu Pifu was purely confused, while the people around him were filled with absolute vigilance mixed with a little confusion. In the eyes of the veteran Dafiqi, Commissar Elian, and the attached psyker Hu Tao, there was a kind of absolute fear and disbelief.
"It actually spoke!?" Dafiqi said with a trembling voice.
Elian said with a deadpan face: "It seems we are all going to die for the Emperor here..."
Wu Wu Wu Pifu looked at these two people with a completely baffled expression. In just this short moment, his "bafflement index" had dropped to nearly 200,000. He was truly worried that if he continued to be baffled in this world, his brain would become as brittle as air.
At this moment, the attached psyker Hu Tao suddenly said, mixed with joy and horror: "No, nothing, not at all... Everyone, don't worry, we haven't been affected by the Warp at all. This demon hasn't corrupted us. No, it's not that it hasn't, it's that it can't! It can't corrupt us. Look, it's surprised itself!"
Everyone looked at the bird-man and indeed saw it looking at a loss, as if it had encountered something difficult to fathom and impossible to understand. But it soon laughed loudly: "This is all my master's plan! Everything is in my master's plan! You mortals cannot understand!!"
Veteran Dafiqi and Commissar Elian didn't believe it, but they were indeed still themselves.
As retired veterans from the Astra Militarum and a Commissar at the core of the Astra Militarum, they knew many things at a deeper level than others, including the attached psyker. They all knew one thing: as mortals, even just seeing a demon or hearing a demon's voice meant they would be corrupted. Their souls would be obtained by the demon, and their bodies would be stuffed with something from the Warp; they would no longer be themselves.
Only a few mortal things could be exceptions. The first is those protected by the Emperor.
The second is those with a firm will that transcends mortal things. This is not an adjective, but a fact. That is, no matter how firm or strong your will is as a mortal, you cannot resist the corruption of a demon at close range. Only a truly transcendent level of will can resist. This is generally used to describe the Emperor's Angels, the Astartes, the Space Marines. They rely on their transcendent physique and the will forged over hundreds of years to have a chance to resist this corruption.
The third is a powerful and self-controlled psyker. This is not comparable to an attached psyker like Hu Tao. Each of them is a true legend. They can almost use psychic powers without hindrance without worrying about being targeted and corrupted by demons.
Only these three types can resist the corruption of demons. But now, let alone them, the hundreds of civilians around were all safe and sound. No one tore off their flesh on the spot and turned into a monster, and no one wailed with flames burning all over their bodies...
This thing, which was clearly a high-level demon, didn't cause any corruption to them?
Hu Tao tremblingly told Wu Wu Wu Pifu about the Warp, demons, corruption, etc. At the same time, he actually explained to Commissar Elian: "The Commissar didn't want to execute me for no reason, but because I am a psyker. Emotional instability will cause my psychic powers to run wild, and the result will be my soul falling into the hands of a demon, and my body will become a carrier for the demon to influence the material world. So the Commissar wanted to execute me; this is actually a relief for me..."
Although Wu Wu Wu Pifu understood the underlying structure of this world, he was still full of question marks. However, his mentality was good. Although he didn't understand, he respected the rules of this world, but he would still take action if he couldn't stand it.
At this time, he looked at the bird-man and said: "Are you the weirdness of this world? Then let me ask you, do you know Khorne and Slaanesh?"
In a flash, Commissar Elian, veteran Dafiqi, and psyker Hu Tao retreated at least ten meters away, scrambling. At the same time, they all tried to find weapons to aim at Wu Wu Wu Pifu, and the bird-man again showed a blank and at-a-loss expression.
"O-of course!"
The bird-man gasped and said: "I naturally know! Mortal, do you want to know the deepest secrets of these two?"
Psyker Hu Tao roared loudly: "How dare you speak the true names of these two existences directly!?"
Commissar Elian and veteran Dafiqi said nothing, picking up the lasguns of the unconscious Astra Militarum soldiers on the ground, aiming them at Wu Wu Wu Pifu and the bird-man.
Wu Wu Wu Pifu had a headache and roared in a low voice: "Quiet!"
The sound spread, and everyone heard it clearly. At the same time, their emotions really gradually calmed down. Wu Wu Wu Pifu then said: "In short, this bird-man is a demon, right? Does it have any value? If not, I'll kill it, so you don't have to look like you're going to explode at any time."
Hu Tao still roared: "Kill it, my lord, please kill it immediately. This level of demon is not something we mortals can touch!"
Veteran Dafiqi was silent, which also meant killing it.
Only Elian was silent for a moment, then said to Hu Tao: "Hu Tao! Are you sure it can't corrupt us now?"
Hu Tao was stunned for a moment. As his direct superior, he still instinctively said: "Yes, I am sure. It is the same as me, neither of us can use psychic powers now. In fact... the state around us is very strange. We can feel the Warp, but we cannot interact with the Warp at all. Not just me, but also this... demon. This is not the isolation of a Blank, but something else, a more incredible and magnificent power at work."
Elian knew about Blanks. Although he didn't know enough about the Warp and demons, he also knew that when enough Blanks exist, these demons cannot even maintain their form, because isolating the Warp means they are banished back to their foul lair. But the current situation is that the demon form exists stably, but cannot use any corrupting power of the Warp...
"This one... I don't care what you are, now I want to ask you solemnly, are you still devoutly believing in the Emperor!?" Elian asked Wu Wu Wu Pifu.
"What?"
Wu Wu Wu Pifu thought for a while and said: "I should be a firm believer in materialism."
Then Wu Wu Wu Pifu was gratified to find that the bafflement index at the corner of his eye fluctuated and increased.
Elian subconsciously wanted to pull the trigger of the lasgun in his hand, but thinking of Wu Wu Wu Pifu catching a shell with his chest, kicking a Baneblade, and tearing apart a Warp demon with his hands just now, now that he had calmed down, he realized how incredible this was. Let alone seeing it with his own eyes, even in those strange rumors he had heard, there had never been such a thing. He even hoped in the deepest part of his heart for a possibility... Could it be... some unknown Primarch in front of him!?
A descendant of a god!?
As for materialism, it has another name in this world. That is because it was defined by the Ecclesiarchy as false, and even blasphemous. Commissar Elian happened to know... the Imperial Truth!
And that was ten thousand years ago, when the Emperor, this god, was still walking on earth, when the god's descendants were still protecting humanity and opening up territory for humanity...
Elian said in a tone with a little respect: "Sir... may I ask if you can control this Greater Demon? If it is really harmless, it may possess a lot of information. Although I know I should banish it immediately, Inquisitor Cethia is on this world. She is an Inquisitor of the Ordo Malleus, and she might handle it differently."
Wu Wu Wu Pifu looked at the bird-man, and the bird-man laughed loudly: "Sure enough, this is all in the plan. Mortals, you must know that knowledge is..."
Swish, swish, swish.
Wu Wu Wu Pifu tore off the bird's wings and tore off its bird claws. He thought for a while, casually tore off its lower body, and then carefully looked at the bird's beak that was still talking, and tore off its bird's beak. This directly turned it into a bird stick.
"Should... be about enough, right?" Wu Wu Wu Pifu turned to look at the trembling crowd. He said "oh, oh" twice, thinking he understood their thoughts, so he simply walked to the Baneblade tank, tore off the tank's outer steel plate, which was several fingers thick, casually kneaded it into a steel roll, and then rolled the half-bird-man, who was still shouting that this was the plan itself, into it.
Looking at this bundle of steel-rolled bird-man with a little bird feather exposed, Wu Wu Wu Pifu nodded with satisfaction. Only then did he say to the crowd: "This way you can't Holy See it, so you shouldn't be so afraid, right?"
The crowd was silent, then silent again, shocked once, shocked twice, shocked three times, and finally remained silent.
!
No, they were even more afraid, okay!?
After waiting for several seconds, Elian said to Wu Wu Wu Pifu: "Sir, now we must rush to the starport immediately, contact the Inquisitor, and send this important cargo to the demon cage arranged by the Inquisitor. If possible, please help us for the sake of humanity, for the sake of the Imperial Truth!"
Wu Wu Wu Pifu didn't speak for a while. He looked around at the chaos, explosions, and shouting in the distance, especially the aura with root pollution that he could Holy See now. He immediately shook his head and said: "No, you take it to the starport directly. I'm going to save some people. I've been eating the shopkeeper's free porridge, how could I abandon them at this time?"
Elian said anxiously: "The Golden Throne is above, sir, this is not the time to be willful. Its importance may even exceed this planet. Also, we can't do it alone..."
Wu Wu Wu Pifu suddenly opened his mouth and let out a soft whistle. In the whistle, everyone felt their minds clear. Immediately after, those Astra Militarum soldiers who were unconscious on the ground woke up one by one, and then they all grabbed their weapons and climbed up nervously.
Wu Wu Wu Pifu lifted his hands slightly toward the crowd and said: "Then let's part ways here. I'll go to the outer city to take a look."
After speaking, he didn't care about the crowd's reaction. He beckoned to the nearby Juju, Daphne, and Beelzebub, took the three little animals, turned around, leaped into the air, and ran toward the hostel.
The crowd was still in a daze. Elian immediately called out to Wu Wu Wu Pifu, but the figure was gone. His face was livid, and he said: "Damn it, really damn it..."
Veteran Dafiqi suddenly said from the side: "He might not be a person of our era."
Elian immediately said: "I know! Of course I know. Out of place with us, not even knowing about demons, and still firmly believing in some Imperial Truth. He... is either a mysterious warrior from the Primarch era, or..."
Psyker Hu Tao whispered from the side: "Perhaps even more ancient. Materialism... what a mysterious term. I know, I have heard of this term... He might be..."
"A Golden Human!?"
The three looked at each other. Suddenly, at this moment, a team of human soldiers fought and retreated. Behind them, more than a dozen Bloodletter demons waving fire blades were chasing and killing them. Elian immediately roared to kick the Astra Militarum soldiers, and hundreds of Astra Militarum soldiers immediately concentrated their fire on the Bloodletter demons...
Tens of seconds later, this group of newly arrived human elite soldiers arrived, protecting a woman with intense light shining in her pupils. The uniform the woman wore was very special. Seeing this woman, Elian immediately saluted and shouted loudly: "Oman Sector, 13th Astra Militarum 13th Regiment Commissar, to..."
Before Elian finished speaking, the woman immediately roared: "No time for introductions. You, and your subordinates, all of you and... fuck, what is that!?"
The visitor was Inquisitor Cethia. Although her physical eyes had been destroyed, her psychic vision could Holy See more things. She saw a Warp Greater Demon, and it was very likely the famous Lord of Change she knew, that terrifying existence with a title, a true name, and an absolute enemy to the Empire. It was actually wrapped in an ordinary steel roll.
And Cethia only then discovered the bird feathers all over the ground, a severed bird head, and the bird wings and bird legs that had been torn off, half of the Lord of Change's body...
The scene was directly like a performance of torture, but unlike every previous torture victim who was human, the victim of this torture was likely this famous Greater Demon...
This half-bird-man naturally also discovered the arrival of Inquisitor Cethia. It cackled with its twisted bird beak: "That's right, that's right! This is exactly part of the plan..."
Cethia used a strong psychic seal to block the voice of the Lord of Change, and then she immediately wanted to kill all the civilians on the scene, the Astra Militarum, and even anyone in her Stormtrooper escort who had been corrupted.
But as a psyker far stronger than Hu Tao, she also immediately and keenly discovered a fact... there wasn't a single person on the scene who had been corrupted?
Even those civilians, children, women, and old people... all of them were intact!??
The Golden Throne is above!
Elian looked at the stunned Inquisitor from the side. He probably understood the Inquisitor's psychological journey. He immediately said: "My lord, I have important information to report. We may have encountered a mysterious warrior from ten thousand years ago, a secret warrior, or an even more ancient Golden Human, or even, even... please forgive my blasphemy, my lord, we may have encountered..."
"A Primarch who has never been recorded!"
"A descendant of a god!!"
