Chapter 576: Critical Breaking Defense Without Destruction, There is No Building
The laughter before was already an extreme probability situation, and now his program baseline was completely exposed, which was beyond Ribos's processing ability.
His processing system had already accumulated a certain amount of heat, and now the sudden situation caused the system's computing power to increase dramatically.
His pupils contracted and his head kept shaking slightly until Rebos opened his mouth and spewed out scorching steam, and the warning of his body's high temperature finally stopped.
"Interesting reaction. Why, as smart as you are, can't you figure out how I knew that?"
The Khan was interested and once again ran his thumb over his knuckles to count.
Rebos didn't think that Aidalad would tell the Khan the news. There was no logic in it.
Psychic energy... spiritual bones... circuits... and among the existing possibilities, only these are the most obvious.
“Since you have been deep in the circuit for many years, you must have mastered the ability to control the spirit bones and can directly see the situation in the hall.
Plus, you are a psychic yourself, and you can enhance the success rate of divination through certain rituals, just like you are doing now."
The Khan nodded and said, "Half right," and then continued to calculate, but this time the other party's face did not seem to be smiling.
"In that case, you knew it through the circuit the moment I boarded the ship."
"Yes."
"So it seems I have no chance of getting you out of the galaxy again?"
"Well, not necessarily."
Ribos felt that this guy was very difficult to deal with. He didn't even get any benefit from his words. When he was about to try again, Khan said first:
"Don't say anything for now. I just asked you to ask me. Now it's my turn to ask you."
Rebos became alert.
“I did see your situation through the alienated spirit bone circuit. After all, it’s rare to see visitors from the empire in this place.
What's more, your strange combination makes me a little curious."
As the Khan spoke, he zoomed in on the scene of the two still fighting. He pointed at Hemiel and said:
"You're really unpopular. Are all mechanical engineers like this? Perturabo, Dorn...
Alas, if we only focus on the comparison of data, everything can be replaced by numbers, and the increase or decrease of life is nothing more than the difference of +1-1, right?
Do you know that everyone who has had contact with you actually hates you?
Maybe the only reason a few people think you're okay is because you haven't been exploited to the extreme.
Everyone hates you, do you understand?"
"Humph, so what if they hate me, hate me, love me, that's their business. Emotions are an obstacle for me.
When faced with a decision, only judgment in the shortest time can result in the least sacrifice.
As a general, do you understand?"
Khan nodded, then pointed at Caroline and said:
"I can understand that, but do you know that this little girl has different feelings for you?"
"know."
"Then you robbed Lin Heng of his love for no reason, and now you're still brazenly saying that emotions are a hindrance."
"That's not what I asked for."
"Then why don't you just admit it? Just admit that it's not Lin Heng. Why don't you just say it? Aren't you just thinking about usurping Lin Heng's identity and stealing his luck?"
"Yes! That's what I thought. You favor Lin Heng, but what about me? Who am I? Why should I be born into this world with this identity? Why can't I have an identity that truly belongs to me?"
"Because we are all tools that can be used."
It was a bolt from the blue, and Rebos was stunned. He had actually asked himself this question after he opened his mind.
Every time he asks himself, he always ends up having an emotional breakdown.
Therefore, he locked this heartbreaking answer deep within the logical foundation of the system.
He hated this disgusting truth, but he himself continued to practice it.
Everyone can be used, and everything can be used as a tool.
"Is this uncomfortable? Sigh... really, this alone shows the difference between you and Lin Heng."
Rebos' temples were swollen and painful, and the eyelid of his left eye twitched five more times than his right eye, and the hot air emitted was much more than the last time.
"The gap... who has the gap with whom?"
Seeing the other party gritting his teeth, Khan cleared his throat and said:
"Of course you are not as good as him. Is there another idiot here?
I don't want to simply define you as a machine, because I know that you have simply closed your emotional center and failed to express it fully.
Among my brothers, there are indeed many who are more complicated than you.
It is because they do not close themselves off and allow their emotions to run wild, and there is no standard answer that they drown in the torrent of emotions.
Precisely because you don’t have an absolutely correct answer, the solution to the problem is always supported by 0 to 100% data.
This is not a bad thing, at least it can keep you stable, but it is not a good thing either, because you have never experienced the pain of making that choice.
To you, everything is just a comparison of data, a one-way street of yes and no.
You don’t know how much change and growth it will bring to you when you are determined to do something that makes you extremely painful.
That's one of the gaps, emotion.
The second reason why these choices are so difficult is the disparity in strength.
Lin Heng is a self-reliant person who has grown from being weak to being strong step by step, a fighter who has created something from nothing and from zero to one.
And you are standing on the shoulders of giants, with support and protection from beginning to end.
You'll understand if I tell you a little bit, judging by how deeply you've studied those spirit bone crystals and your calm expression when I appeared.
It's just like the answer that comes naturally after reading countless materials and researching a large amount of data.
This is the second gap, resources.
In the end, the entire galaxy that can now be fought over was in turmoil because of him.
It seems that all races will be reshuffled because of him, and this kind of imposed pressure is more than just a simple intergalactic war."
"call!"
High-temperature steam filled the air all around, dispersing the overflowing black and purple energy. A black shadow passed through the mist silently.
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. At least you can have an emotional breakdown too."
"Bang!"
Red Wen's Rebos kicked the pile of spirit bones on the ground away. In fact, he really wanted to beat Khan up.
However, the system's alarm seemed to want to lock his body. He felt that the original body, who was as steady as a rock, seemed to have seen through him completely.
No matter what his next move was, the other party seemed to have sensed the direction of his action.
Is it combat experience, or the peculiarities of the Primarch?
Looking at the angry Rebs, Khan said earnestly:
"In a galaxy like this, the only two things that can ignore emotions are absolutely cold machines.
You can't do this because you don't agree at all that you are a machine. You have a soul and desires, and you are still a human being.
The second is a god, a god to whom even rationality does not appear."
Rebos calmed his turbulent mind and subconsciously wanted to start the baseline stabilization program, but Khan's words were like a pause, blocking the logic of his program.
"I...I'm not a machine...so how could he be a god?"
Ribos didn't believe that Lin Heng was so powerful, and of course Khan felt the same way.
However, there is one thing he knows more than Rebos, and that is the Holy Lord, the only person who has carried out human history.
What kind of plan has the emperor made? And how many people will sacrifice in this endless war?
The Khan took a deep breath and then let it out long, as if hinting at the fate of the God-Emperor and the situation he disliked the most.
"I believe you will not become a numb machine, you have your pursuits.
But Lin Heng is different. He must have recognized the reality and fully understood the attitude he should have as a tool.
It’s not about who comes first or who comes later, but about the essence of who you are as individuals.”
"Then what is your essence?"
Facing Ribos's question, this time the Khan stood up and answered:
"I call it - view - far-sighted view.
Hahaha! Looking back at the desolate place, I return home, with neither wind nor rain nor clear skies.
When the mind is clear and at ease, one can observe all things and also observe oneself; observe heaven and also observe hell.
If the previous changes in the surrounding environment caused by Rebos were physical factors, then the surging psychic energy now was the best proof of its unreality.
Rebos directly activated the spirit-exorcising force field. The excessive shielding force completely covered the spirit bone cavity, and those turbulent black and purple bundles immediately dissipated.
But Rebos did not let down his guard. Instead, he felt the situation was even more out of control, because the Khan on the opposite side did not seem to be affected.
"Boy, this alienation circuit can't affect me at all, because I have a firm mind.
And your overwhelming negative psychic energy can only wipe out my leaked psychic power, but it can't stop my body from moving forward."
With one step, two steps, Khan's tall figure was clearly revealed, so much so that Rebos also started to transform, trying to overpower the opponent with his body.
"Haha, interesting, it seems the empire hasn't remained unchanged in these ten thousand years.
"Boy, can you lend me your knife? Those spirits took mine, so I need to clean it up before I see people."
Rebos frowned, wondering if this guy wanted to leave?
"Where are you going?"
Khan took the dagger that Rebos took out from the dimensional space and said with a beard on his face:
"Of course it's a return to the galaxy. Why, weren't you welcoming me just now?"
The long beard fell to the ground, and the style of the octogenarian gradually approached that of a young and middle-aged man.
When his long hair was cut off at the waist and tied into a ponytail, it seemed that ten thousand years had not left much of a mark on the Khan.
"Is it because you saw the importance of Lin Heng?"
"Yes, after waiting for so long, there is finally someone who can take the responsibility... Boy, you are not responsible for Lin Heng's life. The chaos here cannot be erased by your negative spiritual power."
Rebos clenched his fists, his pupils trembling as he looked down at the Khan. The Primarch... was even more beyond imagination than what was described in the information.
"Then let me ask one last question... What do you think about cooperating with aliens?"
"Huh...it's the general trend."
Rebos placed his hands on Khan's shoulders, and then a large number of nanorobots swarmed onto his body.
After three or five seconds, the Khan of the past seemed to return.
"It's not as defensive as your armor, but it's at least an extra layer of protection. Help me take down the Alienation Circuit first."
As Ribos spoke, he pulled out another rune sword from the dimensional space. The Khan took it with one hand and danced with it, making dazzling sword flowers. He smiled and said:
"Right on my mind."
...
"Oh!"
It was like a landslide and the ground was sinking. Amidst the rumbling sound, a huge hole was drilled in the entire cliff by a huge digging Titan.
Its long, sturdy body burst out of the ground, and it immediately rushed to the other side, raising its sturdy front to expose its body to the artillery fire as much as possible.
The various types of artillery on the fortress immediately concentrated their firepower, and the tanks and fighter planes also turned their guns to output fire.
One by one, under the heavy bombardment, the entire cliff began to break and collapse.
Hemiel dodged repeatedly and evacuated the area where the cliff collapsed, but just when the situation seemed stable, something unexpected happened.
Although the excavating Titan's skin and flesh were blown to pieces, a large area of its dorsal spines were also exposed to the air.
"Crack, crack", the jagged chitinous shell suddenly cracked, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of Physalis spores gushed out.
The spores still covered with mucus were overwhelming, even more numerous than the numerous beams of light and shells.
“Bang bang bang bang bang!!!”
Hundreds of spores stuck directly to the fortress walls, while the rest fell over the defense line to the rear.
Dozens of Star Dart machine guns tried their best to intercept the spore rain, but the acid rain that exploded after being shot seemed to help the other side.
During this short interval of a few seconds, the war wizards could only hold up the psychic barrier while the soldiers retreated to the bunker.
"BOOM!!!"
Walls cracked, weapons misfired, tanks fell to the ground, and everything exposed to the spores of the sorrel turned into a sticky slurry.
With just one desperate bombardment, the firepower of the West Wall Fortress Group was reduced by 20% to 30%, but the Titan did not fire only once.
The second time...
The third time...
"Oh!"
The Titan crashed into the cliff, and the violent impact made the mountain rustle.
This dense beam of bullets almost drained the biomass of the excavating Titan, and the lost physical strength would take time to make up.
Now it can only use its last bit of strength to move its huge mouthparts and squeeze its body into the fortress, like a bridge across the cliff.
The acid-corroded smoke drifted wildly, and the roaring noise gradually died down. It took time to restart the weapons and to reunite the personnel.
But what the elves need now is time.
"The difference in body size can't stop me from taking a step forward!"
When the Eldar soldiers felt hopeless, Hemiel took the lead and jumped towards the Hive Titan without fear.
As he himself said, there is nothing he dare not fight. It is just a bigger bug and he will die anyway!
