Everyone in the world says that treachery and wisdom are unparalleled, and fear and abuse are always calculated.

This is not the case.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand it.

After all, if that's the case, it won't be that the Sadomasochism family has always been the most powerful.

Although the mad name of the moody sadistic is outside, the people in the circle know that the sadism is also the most generous of the four evil gods.

In the system of the four evil gods, only those who are afraid of abuse may ascend to the sky in one step.

Today, such luck befell the demon Nakzahar.

And before that, it thought that today was its bad day.

First of all, it was rectified and delayed the time to send troops, and then there was a teleportation problem, and it was stuck somewhere underground, unable to advance or retreat, and in its mind, not only could it not get the benefits, but under the backdrop of a group of meritorious people, the fault became more and more conspicuous, and I was afraid that I would not be able to eat and walk around.

Of course, in fact, Nakzaha used up his life's character almost all at once. If it weren't for this series of problems, it would not have been blessed with the Sadomasochism, but would have died in the first wave of the Kane Guard.

After all, the Oath Force that replaced it because of its tardiness was the one that was first annihilated by the Kane Guard, including the Demon Engine.

So theoretically, Nakzaha's warband units should also have demon engines in them, but only theoretically. The specific reason will involve a lot of things about the internal deceit and mutual harm within the Tzeentchi system, and it is smelly, long, and complex, and it is difficult to understand it in three words.

All in all, Nakzaha can be regarded as the loser of a certain round of struggle, and today's bad luck is only the beginning of the bitter fruit of defeat.

If according to the normal situation, Nakzaha will not go well in the future, and the situation of the wall falling down and everyone pushing will become clearer and clearer, and when all aspects fall to a low point, the real difficulties will come, the ghost gate will pass, and if you can't get by, you will die, and if you can get by, you will start another round of pre-preparation for the struggle, when to save enough capital, and when to go to the table to fight.

Under the social ecology of the Tzeentch system, the life of the middle and high-level is almost like this, and the cycle repeats.

Naxzaha knew this, so when the gift of abusiveness came, it didn't hesitate to betray. It set a precedent in the Legion of the Oath, but it was enough to repay the price of its betrayal, so it comforted itself and said, "In the future, dealing with a group of reckless colleagues may be able to live a relatively simple and easy life." ”

However, the gift of fear is not completely unconditional, and there is a difficulty in front of Nakzaha that needs to be overcome, and if he can't get over, there is no need to talk about the future.

The Sadist did not deliberately conceal the information, which is a good thing for Nakzaha, otherwise it would have crashed headlong into Kane, and there would have been no suspense in the ending.

Also, the task given by the fear of abuse is a bit mysterious, depending on how the executor understands it.

And Nakzaha is obviously still in a state of prosperity, and the legend has it that Tzeentch is a demon who is exceptionally strong when he flies solo.

It fully understood the core spirit of this mission, and at the same time divided the team into parts, delegated power to the leaders under its command, and rewarded them with a terror gift, mobilizing the enthusiasm of each team.

And it itself did not be greedy for the big head, but gave a large amount of power to its descendants.

At the level of Nakzaha, in addition to recruiting capable leaders normally, supporting the system, and dominating the territory, he also began to consciously cultivate strong and loyal thugs.

After all, the more high-end rulers are, the more they will be distracted by non-war affairs, and it is normal for personal force to gradually relax.

Of course, the chaotic forces pursue the respect of the strong, and any member who is ambitious and has an online IQ understands that improving his own strength is the king's way.

However, there is also a cost-effective issue here.

There is obviously a difference between the real power and the data power brought by the simple heap power.

The brutal civil wars within the forces of chaos have also proved time and again that those rulers who only hold their resources in their own hands are equivalent to raising fat pigs by themselves, or rather, they are okay at the beginning, but when they rise to a certain height, this type of person becomes a fat pig in the eyes of others.

Because the power that has been piled up in this way is empty.

The data is very powerful, but if you really want to get up, you can't give full play to it, and some even ten percent can only exert two or three percent of the power.

High-end demons, the demand for 'powerful and intelligent weapon people', this is where the demand.

Weapon people don't have to be too smart, but their professional ability must be strong, and they have to drill, and it's best to be talented, such as martial arts idiots or something.

Naxzaha has strengthened his weapons men this time, and in this way, his team has turned a high percentage of the power given by terror into hard power (aside from the bounty and the part it eats itself).

This can be regarded as a good steel used on the blade, or a successful play with a grinding gun.

The Sadist was satisfied with Nakzaha's performance, and then disappeared behind the scenes, keeping only his mind focused.

He remained in the physical world, and every minute and every second was a huge drain, and the numbers were considerable over time. At present, it is dozens of times more powerful than the power he has bestowed on the Soul Raider Legion and the Nakzaha Warband.

While Nakzaha ruled over its warbands and began their exploration of the region from underground, Kane was interacting with the Sisters of Silence.

For the truly strong people who are kind to themselves, the Silent Sisters seem to be relatively normal, and they even briefly freshen up and tidy up before the whole group comes to the ceremony.

On the contrary, it was Kane, who seemed a little harsh, and he said very bluntly:

"I have a certain understanding of your organization. To be honest, I don't like the way you guys, especially for nearly a thousand years. One Sentence Comment: Distorted by extremes, there is so much darkness in your organization today. This has put you on the brink of precariousness, and the emergence of the First Order has shaken the meaning of your existence. ”

Kane explained simply: "The transition voyage, which does not involve subspace, is already in the trial stage. At the current rate of advancement, in a maximum of ten years, the main route will be opened, and in a hundred years, starships equipped with non-subspace jump engines will become the mainstream. ”

The Sisters of Silence naturally knew what that meant. The greatest significance of their organization's existence is actually to collect soul fuel for the Imperial Torch. Instead of cultivating psionics for the Empire.

Because the nature of empires is mortal rule, not transcendent rule. This makes the official attitude towards psykers similar to the official view of mutants on Earth in the Marvel Universe.

Fearful, and at the same time want to control the use.

The work of the Sisters of Silence is in fact a manifestation of this attitude.

There are three main reasons why the psionics failed to make a big move.

First, the environment. There are many colonies. Psykers are hardly able to match techniques like subspace jumps with their abilities alone, which makes them unable to hold together, let alone have a strong organization.

Second, external pressure. In a desperate world, the war is continuous, even if it is a psionic person, it is just a stronger ant, and it instinctively has the will to huddle together for warmth and rely on the population to survive.

It can be said that the general atmosphere of the entire human society has a subtle influence on everyone, including psionics.

Three, the Mandate of Heaven. This one sounds a bit idealistic. But it's indispensable.

Specifically, it is precisely because the psionics of Warhammer 40K do not have the leadership ability and personal charisma of Professor X and Magneto, and they also have enough luck figures, so the psionics have never had a cosmic-level organization, and it is naturally difficult to achieve great things.

Originally, there was one who was most likely to become a leader, the Emperor, and his Great Witch Spirit condensation determined that he could do it.

But after tens of thousands of years of behind-the-scenes investigation, he finally chose to sit on the side of mortals, which can be regarded as a betrayal of his camp.

There is such a big man in terms of technology, and at the same time he occupies the betrayal of the characters of the atmosphere, the psionics can be said to have been pitted by the industry bosses, and they are still in the pit, and the star torch system is the best proof.

However, with the deepening of cooperation between the First Order and the Empire in many fields, the Afro-Asian space leap has become an almost inevitable trend.

If you can safely jump through the physical universe, who will choose the subspace shortcut?

Not only is there all kinds of terrifying transcendent beings that prey on life in the physical universe, but it is also very unfriendly to the life of the physical universe.

People who work in Starship all year round, even if they are lucky, can always turn evil into good fortune, but they will inevitably get occupational diseases. Specifically, there are two categories, physical aberration and mental illness.

To use Kane's set of explanations, it is actually a radiation-like infection of extraordinary energy.

For mortals, the erosion of extraordinary energy is much worse than nuclear radiation, and it is basically insolvable.

Therefore, the non-subspace transition is really an irreversible trend.

Especially now that the First Order and the space necromancers of Gradius Star are in the honeymoon period of the alliance, the two sides also have technological interactions, and the non-inertial transition technology of the space necromancers, the First Order has been obtained through normal channels, which makes the non-subspace transition technology have a thicker foundation.

When it comes to technology, although space necromancy is inferior to the First Order, it is better because it is a local force, and its technology basically does not have the problem of adapting to water and soil.

However, the first order has been fine-tuned because the information collection is not comprehensive enough.

Finding mistakes and correcting them is easy to say, but difficult to do. Especially for technology, the more high-end it is, the lower the fault tolerance.

Coupled with extraordinary characteristics, it can be said that if it weren't for the strong production capacity of the First Order, the current life would never be as beautiful as the world knows.

Therefore, the database of related categories of space necromancy technology is what the First Order really looks at, and it does play a complementary role.

Since the use of non-subspace transition technology has been effective, the unemployed Star Torch Hall has basically entered the countdown.

Correspondingly, without the need for so much soul fuel, the work of the Silent Sisters became less onerous, or rather important.

Some would say that while it is important for the Sisters of Silence to collect fuel for the Hall of the Torch, it is also important to search for psionics and bring them under official control as much as possible.

That's right, but Kane also mentioned this point in this conversation. Even if it's the same sentence, it's still straight to the point.

Kane put it this way: "Allowing psionics to become monks of the Holy Light Sect through the Way of Light is also an important project in cooperation with multiple institutions in the Empire, and it is progressing even faster. I think you know about that. ”

The Sisters of Silence do know.

After all, the flow of their tasks has changed because of it.

If there is any problem with this project, it is whether the Holy Light Sect will become an event where the imperial authority makes wedding dresses for others after it grows bigger.

Today, however, there is no way to stop this problem, even if it is.

If the Holy Light is a dish, then it is by far the most fragrant dish, and it is addictive and cannot be parted with as soon as you eat it.

The Holy Light Sect, represented by Kane, has never shown covetousness for the royal power or even the clerical power.

Nominally, the Order of Light is a branch of the state religion, and Kane is the canonized saint of the state religion.

In essence, the Holy Light Sect basically only maintains a training system, and the specific work assignment is basically subject to the arrangement of the state religion.

The state religion thinks that which colony star and which region needs the people of the Holy Light Sect to solve the problem, then the Holy Light Sect will go.

Their professionalism has been praised and they have become the best blades in the hands of the state religion and even the empire. Many thorny problems, old cases, have been solved with their participation, and they have basically been solved satisfactorily without any trouble.

In this context, the current empire, even if it knows that the Holy Light Sect is poison, it has to continue to eat it.

Of course, even if it doesn't help, there are some procedures that should be followed.

Whether it is the Inquisition, the State Church, or the Assassin Court, the Military Department has a special research institute to study the influence of the Holy Light on a person. In this way, it is no problem to judge how far the Holy Light can control a person, whether it is reversed black and white.

As it turned out, it didn't work. Faith cannot be forced, and piety, or apostasy, all originate from the human heart and from self-knowledge.

In other words, the Holy Light Sect can influence people and change people's cognition through rituals, propaganda and other means, but the Holy Light itself cannot erase a person's old cognition without restriction and then change it to a new one.

This conclusion is at least a consolation prize for the big men of the empire. To put it mildly, everyone relies on routines to fool people, even if the other party is hanging, it is not the kind of person who does not give others a chance at all, if the current ruling system is really overthrown by the Holy Light Sect in the end, theoretically it can only be said that the skills are inferior to others, and they admit defeat in betting.

The bigwigs have all compromised, and the progress of this project is naturally rapid and abnormal.

Years of decay have made the empire extremely eager for the life-saving potion of holy light, which can be digested as much as it generates.

As a result, psionics became in short supply. After all, their extraordinary talents can make them suddenly become clergy who can cast a large number of divine spells, so as to better contribute to the great cause of the empire.

So, is the golden sign of 'Holy Light Sect Training' really not stained at all?

In fact, there is.

The evil gods led by Tzeentch, as well as other members of the Chaos Forces, have succeeded in corrupting the clergy of the Holy Light Sect through various means, and there are more than one or two cases.

But it doesn't mean much.

Because the clergy supervision system of the Holy Light Sect is particularly powerful.

The core of faith is, to put it bluntly, a super information processor.

And faith cannot be faked.

So once a clergyman defects, with data to back it up, it won't help if he knows how to act again.

It's not like the demons haven't tasted the forbidden methods.

For example, let a renegade clergyman be convinced from the bottom of his heart that what he is doing is actually for the good of the Holy Light.

That is, self-deception to the level of false to real.

The idea is that there is nothing wrong, the technology is not good, in terms of soul and faith, Kane is his father, and the evil god can't win in person, which means that he can't pass the detection and identification level with a high refresh rate.

The belief system can also solve the problem of disguised impostors, very simple relics, but the impostors cannot activate them anyway, because they cannot use the power of faith to qualify.
