Chapter 228 It’s time to start taking sides!
The person standing in front of the stage was none other than the Red King Magnus.
For Magnus, the Primarch most deeply involved in psychic powers, the Emperor's proposal was tantamount to digging up its roots.
Although Magnus no longer had the same obsession with psychic power as before after the incident of eating shit in Wonderland, he was not opposed to using psychic power. Instead, he became more devoted to exploring psychic power.
Magnus believed that there must be kind-hearted subspace entities in the vast sea of souls, and the demon he encountered last time was entirely the result of his carelessness.
Not to mention that the 15th Legion is composed entirely of psykers. If this decree is issued, the Thousand Sons will become a group of harmless cats. Even if Magnus agrees, his soldiers will not agree.
As the first to stand out, Magnus naturally attracted all the firepower, especially Guilliman and Angron, who had seen demons before. They were both aware of the dangers of unstable psykers.
But the other legions do not have an intuitive understanding of Chaos, so they are still waiting and want to continue observing the situation.
Looking at the people below who were arguing again, Hogg, who was hanging in the air, couldn't help but feel a headache, but the big lemon in his mouth was too sour, making him drool, and he was so angry that he kept staggering.
In fact, Hogg had already told his descendants that it was a miracle that the empire's current political structure could survive until now.
Logically speaking, if the empire had not left the planet, it could be considered normal, but the key is the empire's interstellar power!
Countless worlds make up the human regime of the Empire, and the unreachable astronomical distances allow the diversity of mankind to be displayed to the extreme.
In Hogg's previous life, people had a huge argument over whether tofu pudding should be eaten salty or sweet, and that was a very small place.
The current empire is simply incapable of achieving complete unity in terms of ideology, and the central government's ability to govern the local areas is even more ridiculous. After all, the Human Empire is a fucking feudal slave lord regime.
Take Hogg's Black Watch for example. This group of canned soldiers who appear to be loyal to the Empire are actually Hogg's private soldiers. They only recognize their own Primarch.
Over the years, the Alicia Sector has become the private domain of Blackwatch. Even the Emperor's decree is not as effective as a word from Emilia.
This is Alicia, where the per capita happiness is relatively high. The territories governed by other legions are full of unruly people. Anyone who dares to harm their interests will cause chaos the next day.
In addition, due to the concentration of troops and similar cultures, the area governed by each legion became a pocket empire, and the Primarch, as the lord of that area, would inevitably develop feelings for his hometown.
Thinking of this, Hogg decided to put the blame on the Emperor. He didn't know that this immortal who had lived for tens of thousands of years and experienced the human regime did not have any political considerations at all. Wouldn't he hold a small meeting in advance?
If he had communicated with all the legions in advance, given the Primarch's father-loving nature, people would have believed him even when he said his farts smelled good.
But Hogg was numbed by the citric acid and couldn't control his mouth. He couldn't even use the ability to control the deformation of his flesh and blood. He could only shake his body to attract other people's attention.
Magnus, who was arguing, suddenly felt a chill on his scalp, as if it was drizzling rain in the sky, and the smell of the rain was a bit strange. He couldn't help but look up.
Then, he saw Hogg, who was almost shaking himself like a fan, with saliva gushing out of his mouth. He figured out where the rain came from and felt sick, and he began to dry heave at the rain below.
Everyone saw this scene, and the atmosphere of quarreling disappeared. In order to prevent the saliva from splashing on himself, Horus cut the chain with a look of disgust, letting the guy fall down. Hogg, who successfully landed, broke free of the chain, took out the big lemon that made him uncomfortable, and threw it on Magnus.
Magnus was unable to dodge and was splashed with saliva, which made him retch again after he had just recovered. His hair stood up in anger.
But before he could curse, he heard Hogg say:
"I object!"
These words gave the helpless Magnus hope. He suddenly felt that the dwarf Hogg was not so annoying after all.
But he couldn't understand why Hogg, the negative psychic Ogryn, would oppose such a proposal that would do him no harm.
But with Hogg's opposition, the members of the Second Empire, seeing Big Brother's position, also voted against it and stood firmly on Hogg's side.
The meeting came to a stalemate, but before Hogg could finish his words, he said to Magnus:
"I agree with this decree, too."
Now both groups were confused by Hogg's actions. They had no idea what he was doing. How could they agree and disagree at the same time?
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Hogg jumped to the center of the venue and explained his views:
"First of all, I don't like psychic power. But it is undeniable that psychic power is very convenient for us. Since we humans have this talent, why should we curb it?
If psykers are to be contained, the Emperor, the most powerful psyker in the Imperium, must be killed first."
The Emperor, who was thinking about whether this bastard had any unique insights, knew as soon as he heard these words that this guy was diss him again. His originally relaxed arms clenched into fists again, and he wondered whether he should beat him up later.
Hogg, sensing the danger, immediately changed his tone and added:
"Of course, how can we possibly execute the noble Lord of Humanity? In this case, we must study this issue carefully.
Everyone knows that although psychics seem uncontrollable, their stability can be guaranteed as long as they undergo systematic learning.
I believe that every legion has a number of psykers, and they have been doing well for so many years, haven't they? And their talents can also provide better support for the Great Crusade.
Not to mention that the empire has such a huge population, the number of psykers born is astronomical, and it is impossible to completely reduce them."
Magnus was very satisfied when he heard this, but Guilliman on the side expressed a different opinion:
"Hogg, those things in the Warp will be attracted to the psykers."
Although Guilliman's reference was not explicitly stated, most of the Primarchs knew more or less what it was, and this was the real reason why they were wavering before.
Even Hogg had to admit that the use of psychic energy would definitely attract the attention of the Warp, but he would never give up the power of psychic energy because of the existence of demons.
Thinking of this, Hogg looked around at everyone, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, communicating with Shaforin on the other side of the curtain, and a broken space crack appeared beside him.
"Then let me show you what those things look like!"
