Chapter 140 I like to create people in my dreams
In the Warhammer universe, the soul is actually a very wonderful concept, highlighting a metaphysics.
Anything in this damn place could become a spirit, from a small bolt gun to a large knight mecha and Titan, even planets could be alive.
For example, a Leman Russ tank bombarding on the battlefield may develop a machine soul after going through blood and fire if its crew members take good care of its body.
Creations with machine souls cannot be viewed with common sense. Who knows if it can recharge itself from the void, or if it can still fire when it runs out of ammunition.
But if you look at it from the perspective of the fantasy world of cultivation, all the problems in this universe are very reasonable, even a bit ordinary.
The spirit of an artifact is called a machine soul, a puppet is a machine servant, and the Tao can also be said to be a star god that has become a spirit under the laws of physics.
As the spirits of planets, Hogg usually calls them star souls, but these little trash can't be compared with Azeroth next door. At best, they are just land gods.
Otherwise, Hogg can forget about polluting an angel to play with KanColle, and should surrender to Chaos as soon as possible.
Just as Catachan's star souls can interfere with the evolution of life, Baal's angels must also possess wonderful special abilities that Hogg, a psychic Muggle, cannot comprehend.
No one knew the content of the conversation between Sanguinius and Star-Soul that day, but according to Hogg's observation, the two of them must have made some unspeakable deal.
The most obvious example is that the Blood Angels are now able to control their emotions, although they will still cry when they are excited.
If you ask how Hogg knew this, all we can say is that he shamelessly went to duel with the Blood Angels recruits in the cage, and even said with a chuckle that he was giving them technical instruction.
You know, the gap between the Primarch and ordinary Space Marines is bigger than that of a dog, and Hogg ended up with no skills and only relied on brute force. In short, during this period of time, Hogg took his descendants to look for people to PK everywhere.
The effect is very obvious. This group of red cans run away when they see Hogg. If they can't run away, they will lie on the ground pretending to be corpses. I'm just like that, you can do whatever you want.
"Alas! These guys are really unmotivated."
Disgusted by the shameless words, Sanguinius cursed:
"Bah! Hogg, can't I guess what you're thinking? You just want to see my offspring cry. You're so mean."
"I'm despicable? Then you can settle the bill for this visit." Hogg took out a long roll of bill, which was longer than toilet paper, and silenced the angel.
The Blood Angels were relatively wealthy, but they could not afford to be rich, and the result was that the two legion leaders started to bargain with each other like old ladies buying groceries.
The end result was that the Blood Angels received a production line for gene stabilizers and acquired a full set of technology, while Hogg received a piece of Star God debris and the right of first refusal to purchase their future alien creations.
Both of them felt that they had made a good deal. After all, to the Blood Angels, this fragment was a time bomb, and they were indifferent to the alien creations, so it was worthwhile to exchange it for technology.
Hogg can use products that will be popular in the future to increase his own strength, and he can also buy a batch of things to enrich the technical accumulation of his research team.
In short, this is a win-win deal, and with the resolution of the Blood Angels anomaly, Hogg is ready to return home and go back to farming.
The crowd at the scene surged, and every Blood Angels Space Marine shed tears of excitement, and they were sincere. They really didn't want to see these despicable little guys anymore.
You have to know that this group of black canners who came to Bal have touched every corner, and many people's collections have disappeared, but the locals can't discover their methods.
The Blackwatch, who had returned with a full load, left, staring at the Blacklight as it disappeared from their sight. The Archangel Sanguinius standing at the port saw the illusion again.
But this time he saw more images and they were clearer. In the dead silence, spots of scarlet appeared and a flash of silver hair burning with flames passed by.
"Hogg, my pure brother! Is that you?"
…………
At this time, a unique auction was taking place on the returning Black Light, and many local specialties of Baal were taken out by this group of cloaked cockroaches and sold on the mental network.
There were some top-quality goods inside, which attracted the crowd to exclaim in amazement and start buying them for their own treasures.
Similarly, it wasn't just the Blackwatch people who were reveling, many eyes were watching here, and soon two rich guys started a fight. One of them was called "Angel Love Me Again" and the other was called "Invincible Tyrannosaurus God of War". Two anonymous users bid a piece of children's clothing from Sanguinius' childhood for a sky-high price.
In the end, "Angel Love Me Again" came out on top and won the collection with an unexplored planet with life. Such a lavish act won it a lot of praise as "big boss is awesome".
However, the anonymous user, as everyone could guess, did not know that the "Invincible Tyrannosaurus God of War" on the opposite side was Hogg's smurf, and his purpose was to seduce this perverted Kobold.
"Silly dog, what Old Man Huang said is indeed correct. Even though these bastards have great power, they are still driven by their own desires. How dare they call themselves evil gods?"
Hogg, who was unsealing the fragments in the laboratory, sneered. He really didn't care about others watching him. After all, that was the privilege of the strong.
A piece of black fragment sparkling with sparks was held in Hogg's hand. The power of the same origin prevented Hogg, who had become a copycat star god, from being burned by it. Instead, absorbing it would only make Hogg stronger.
When Sanguinius summoned the angels that day, the Star-Soul, who possessed strange powers, warned Hogg to be careful of his enemies and said that he was not invincible.
These words inevitably made Hogg think a lot. He recalled how he came to this universe, grew up step by step, was later discovered by the Emperor and returned to the Legion, until now he has become the Lord of the Blackwatch.
Hogg found that he was tied to this world and could no longer be as carefree as before. He had left too many traces here.
Whether it was Alicia's group of veterans, the offspring who had always followed him, or even the elves who were slowly integrating into the human race, these bonds had already deeply locked Hogg in, making him feel a sense of belonging.
Nearly fifty years of details have been etched into Hogg's memory, letting him know that this is not a make-believe game, and he has become attached.
"Damn it! Come on, you rats from the gutter, let's see who will have the last laugh. I'm going to destroy them all by myself!!"
Inspired by his own lofty ambitions, Hogg looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle like the protagonist of a passionate anime, stroked his silver hair upwards with his hands and let out a strange "hehehe" laugh.
An exciting tune appeared at the right moment, adding a sense of awe to every corner of the laboratory.
"Ah~~This is Pawa!"
He thrust the fragment in his hand into his chest with force. The activated high-dimensional flesh and blood craves for high-purity energy like crazy. Without any control, several tentacles wrapped around the fragment and dragged it into Hogg's abdominal cavity.
Unlike the previous cases of swallowing fragments, this time there were no residual souls to oppose Hogg, but the absorption was very smooth.
Looking at the automated devouring process, Hogg, who was standing on the deck, moved a sofa and lay down on it. He then took out a few bags of snacks and began to look at the fragmented memories.
He no longer had the resolute look on his face and became a useless person who only lived to eat and wait for death.
Through the information contained in the fragments, Hogg knew that its owner was a medium-level star god named "Forger". Although the fragments of "Forger" did not have much energy, there were a lot of good stuff inside.
Unlike ordinary martial artists, this 'Forger' is a scientific research star god, and the fragments are full of all kinds of strange knowledge.
This knowledge is so profound that even Hogg can only understand half of it, but fortunately this knowledge is stored in Hogg's body in a strange way.
Perhaps only when Hogg restored the operation of the 'Forger' again, he would be able to create that extraordinary creation of the ancient times in a flash of inspiration.
The rest of the information was just some trivial daily stuff, which made Hogg feel sleepy, and he actually fell asleep on the sofa.
Just as Hogg was sleeping, his body slowly floated up, and scarlet psionic energy spread around like liquid flame, sticking to the surrounding experimental equipment.
A few illusory and tiny consciousnesses were born from the cold metal. They were so simple that they did not understand what life was. They just instinctively praised the creator who gave them life - Hogg.
Hogg had no idea about this.
Yesterday I went back to my hometown for a banquet. An old lady was really shameless. She took out a bag and started to pack up the food when I was halfway through. The most ridiculous thing was that she even took the steamed buns. This is the first time I have seen such a thing in all the years of banquets.
