Chapter 28: The God of Temptation
The current Imperium of Man is undoubtedly weak. Faced with the Serene Federation, a human civilization that highly modifies itself and slanders the Imperium of Man, the first reaction of the Imperium is to have a good talk with the other side.
It was not until the Imperium realized that peaceful communication was impossible that it chose to dispatch the Astartes Legion.
Ferrus, Horus, Guilliman, and Lion, these four Primarchs all wanted to have peaceful communication with other human forces, which led to them being attacked by enemy assassins or other hostile groups.
This era is the greatest for humanity since the Dark Age of Technology. The Imperium of Man has shown some of the few acts of mercy since that age: rescuing wounded enemy soldiers, initiating peaceful communication with human civilizations at the first opportunity, and even when facing the Aeldari xenos, the Imperium's first reaction is that they are harmless and can coexist peacefully.
If Wayne were to launch the Great Crusade, then he would create an artificial intelligence legion and use mechanical, iron-blooded means to solve all problems.
Helena drank her tea, watching Wayne's back as he was still thinking about how to cooperate with the Imperium of Man.
These kinds of people claimed they had no problems, but when they realized they were wrong, they still felt they had no problems, only that the plan had some issues.
In other words, they were stubborn but soft-hearted. If the Emperor offered enough concessions and gave Wayne a secular position, then Wayne would also cooperate with the Imperium.
After all, the Imperium had enough resources, and Wayne needed a stage.
Across the room, Konrad was communicating with those noble children. Even though the Primarch was unwilling, Wayne still made him communicate, because he would inevitably face more nobles in the future. Learning was essential in the end.
It was just that Konrad was a little absent-minded for some reason. The Primarch was looking at the current situation with one eye and the future with the other.
Wayne, clad in black armor with red energy fluctuations, stood on the ruins, while the other side was... Konrad couldn't see what exactly happened, nor did he know what Wayne said to him. The Primarch's talent had not yet fully risen, so he still seemed a little insufficient.
But there was only one thing worth affirming.
"Do you understand humans?" Helena didn't know when she had sat next to Wayne. She reached out and held a glass of red wine, stirring her finger in it.
"My family has recorded the past of humans."
"Oh did they now?"
The woman dipped her finger in the red wine and licked it slowly, then straightened her waist slightly. The cheongsam could not hide everything. In an instant, the curves of her chest were revealed, as if intentionally seducing him.
"As slave traders, they regarded the psychic energy of various civilizations throughout the galaxy, among which the Aeldari and humans became their main trading objects, and a large number of humans were killed by extracting their psychic energy."
Wayne looked at Helena, feeling that something was wrong with her, but from her behavior, she seemed to be just an ordinary human. Moreover, her actions were more like wanting to have some intimate interaction with Wayne, like a succubus in fantasy.
"These matters of past are not known easily to ordinary families."
"My family has record archives. I took a look when I was bored, so do you really want to save humanity?"
"Save humanity?" Wayne frowned. "What are you talking about?"
"Wayne, you give your resources to the common people, you want to eliminate us nobles, but can you ensure that humans will not fall again tens of thousands of years later?"
Helena leaned quietly on Wayne's shoulder, reaching out her hand to caress Wayne's chest. His pectoral muscles were simply the most perfect creation. The woman quietly rubbed Wayne's ankle with her bare toes, and the sweet scent on her body stimulated Wayne's human instincts.
The next second, Wayne stood up. Helena did not foresee this situation. Her center of gravity had been on Wayne's body, but now Helena couldn't control herself and fell to the ground in an instant. She looked up at Wayne's disgusted eyes.
"You actually!" Helena raised her head to look at Wayne in disbelief, extremely angry.
"I am a well-known noble. Cooperating with me could have allowed you to rule this world without any cost!"
"Enough." Wayne said rubbing the area Helena touch as if dusting dirt. "I thought you had some grand ambitions, but in fact, it's just so-so. There's nothing good about participating in the party. Let's go, Konrad."
"Yes, Father."
The other nobles laughed out loud in an instant. They looked at this overestimating and self-humiliating woman without any pity.
Konrad didn't know why, but he could feel Wayne's machinery executing at full speed. As long as Helena had any abnormalities, Wayne would open fire.
The reason Wayne didn't directly choose to attack was because the other party was the ruler of a large family, with a fleet and orbital elevators, as well as weapons from the Dark Age of Technology. If a war broke out immediately, then a Hive City would be completely destroyed. Now Wayne was emptying this family's assets, and he could not allow his plan to go wrong.
Wayne had let artificial intelligence communicate with her family. As long as they acquiesced, this woman would soon be resolved, because Wayne always felt that there was something wrong with her.
The devices and torture machines he designed in the past were similar to the Drukhari, and it was possible to attract the attention of Slaanesh.
Wyane immediately felt that this woman who teased him was like a Slaanesh demon or follower, but the issue is, she has no Warp fluctuations, and she seemed more like a mortal than someone involved in chaos worship.
Although no Greater Daemon or demon could tolerate being humiliated like this by a mortal, even a Slaanesh demon would not allow itself to be looked down upon.
But it was better to kill by mistake than to let go.
"Wayne! You will definitely regret it!" The woman shouted like a madman. "You wait for me! I will make you pay the price."
Wayne was still vigilant. The next second, a message was reported, her family allowed Wayne to cleanse her. After all, her family position was coveted, and naturally some people hoped she would die.
In this way, she was just a clown. It would be good to use a few missiles made by Untouchables to deal with it later. Even if it didn't kill her, then throw a few more rounds.
The man left with his son.
...
Helena looked at the backs of the father and son, watching them leave here, and then climbed up and walked towards another door, leaving directly.
When she stepped into her luxury car alone, she couldn't help but smile widely as she looked at the housekeeper driving.
Wayne's heart was unwavering when he killed. He didn't like killing, he was tired of being bound by honor, he wouldn't fall into despair, and he was even more self-disciplined about joy and stimulation. His heart was fickle, resisting fate and darkness was his destiny, and plans were shaped in his hands.
This kind of person was what she loved the most. The more she understood, the more she expected, but now it seemed that Wayne was still a bit simple and might not be able to satisfy herself.
"Haa, Ah- Wayne You are just So~ He-He-He~" Helena huffed as she breathed a little heavily clinching her toes and finger in excitement.
Helena's actions just now had also made Wayne relax his vigilance. After all, people who understood the Chaos Gods would only regard Helena's behavior as Slaanesh. But she had never been a part of pleasure. After all, she hadn't played like this for a long time. She relied on her supreme acting skills to deceive a genius.
Now Wayne must think that she was just a mortal, so he would relax his vigilance, and then she would suddenly attack.
Helena sighed boredly. In this way, wasn't she a little bored? Unexpectedly, Wayne was so simple.
"Well, sure enough, it's still not interesting to occasionally come down to earth to play. After all, gods are sometimes limited, even if acting as mortals is infinite, but mortals are too stupid to let me play."
"Is that so?" The person driving was not the woman's housekeeper. "I still suggest you kill him."
"Yes, he will not fall into despair, nor will he become a part of the Warp. It's better to cleanse him sooner rather than later."
Three figures materialized in the back seats.
The woman looked at the four people in her car. "Why are you so impatient? Isn't it good to smile? Besides, my plan cannot fail, do you understand?"
The next second, four small missiles aimed at Helena's car and launched. Each of them contained the ashes of Untouchables, and then the fire covered the area.
In the first moment after the explosion and flames dissipated, Wayne's Robin squad began to surround the area, looking at the two charred skeletons inside. According to the video recording, only the woman and the housekeeper had gotten into the car, confirming the deceased.
"Problem solved."
The guard took out matter annihilation weapons to cleanse the entire area, ensuring that Wayne's will was carried out. He ordered to cleanse all traces, then cleanse everything.
Meanwhile, in the basement cloning chamber of Hive City One, a brand-new woman's body was activated, although her appearance still had not changed in any way.
But she also understood that once she appeared in any place with Wayne Group cameras, she would be exposed, and then Wayne himself would personally hunt her down.
Now she had to wear him down a bit.
"You really are so Intersting Wayne~. You are so heartless to kill me like that. Worthy of you, Wayne." Helena moved her shoulders. "This time is really a bit of fun."
The cult members watched the resurrected mistress, and they cheered, and then the owl-like eyes on their bodies shone brightly.
The will of God was issued.
