Chapter 1000: Chapter 691: Past and Future Chapter 1000: Chapter 691: Past and Future Genetic Prototypes.
Created by the Emperor to serve him, these were the strongest of humans. However, in reality, the Genetic Prototypes, in the role of the Four Heavenly Kings, were not entirely loyal to the Emperor. This is quite understandable, and many players also think that it was a mistake for the Emperor to create the Genetic Prototypes in the first place.
According to historical records, when the Emperor first unified Terra and created the Empire, neither the Star Warriors nor the Genetic Prototypes had appeared; at that time, the Emperor's subordinates were a group of super genetically enhanced warriors known as the Thunder Warriors and the Imperial Army Corps. Only after the Emperor unified Terra did he begin to create Genetic Prototypes.
In fact, players are puzzled as to why the Emperor would create Genetic Prototypes. It is understandable that Thunder Warriors, being the first generation of enhanced humans, were phased out due to their mental and physical instability. However, the Imperial Army Corps was different; each of the Imperial Guards was almost a perfect human, and their strength was extremely powerful, not inferior to the Star Warriors and Genetic Prototypes.
The only drawback was that the technology to manufacture the Imperial Guards was quite expensive and difficult to mass-produce.
Logically speaking, when the Emperor was preparing to launch the Great Expedition after unifying Terra, it would have made more sense to seek technology that could mass-produce the Imperial Guards. Even if it couldn't reach the level of the Imperial Army Corps, having half the strength of the Imperial Guards mass-produced would have made sweeping across the Milky Way and rebuilding the Human Empire a straightforward task. Additionally, the Imperial Warrior's resistance to Spiritual Energy meant that they wouldn't be affected by pollution or influence from Subspace.
However… it seemed as if the Emperor's brain had been kicked by a donkey when he turned around and created Genetic Prototypes that merged his own DNA and even mixed dark Subspace Powers.
At the time, no one except the Emperor himself knew what he was thinking, not even the staunchly loyal Imperial Marshal Constantin, who opposed the plan. Considering his famous saying was, “My only weakness is my complete trust in the Emperor,” even he had reservations about the plan, indicating that any sane person wouldn't have understood it.
This is also why players don't trust the Emperor. He claimed that everything he did, including the Net Plan and the Imperial Truth, was to keep humans away from Subspace, completely isolating them from its influences. However, he then fucking went and created a bunch of Genetic Prototypes with Subspace Powers which was blatantly contradictory, hypocritical, and like inviting wolves into the house…
In the eyes of the players, either the Emperor had a problem with his brain, or he had some sinister schemes–either way, his goals were certainly not as noble as he claimed.
This was also the perspective of the Genetic Prototypes who rebelled, and Mortarion was among them.
Before the rebellion, Mortarion was a pure materialist–well, that might not be exactly right; it should be said that he was fanatically devoted to the Imperial Truth and completely disbelieved in, even despised, the existence of unnatural powers like magic and Spiritual Energy.
To say it again, materialism emphasizes that the unity of the world lies in its material nature, but it does not deny the reaction of consciousness on matter, and it believes that this reaction is quite significant.
That is to say, in the Emperor's world, the Imperial Truth he promoted was not any kind of materialism but pure idealism. Essentially, the Imperial Truth was no different from religions like the Catholic Church, denying the existence of physical reality and purely judging reality from an idealistic perspective.
Therefore, Mortarion was naturally not a materialist but simply a paranoid who hated Spiritual Energy.
So Emperor, you still have the nerve to say you hate religion, but in fact, what you did was not any different from those religious lunatics, or perhaps even worse. At least those religious fanatics had supposedly heard some voice before they went mad, but the Imperial Truth was entirely a baseless illusion.
Just like a bubble, once it burst, it exploded completely in situ. If it were not for the emergence of the National Religion after the Emperor sat on the Golden Toilet, the Empire would have perished long ago and wouldn't have lasted for ten thousand years.
Therefore, it's only natural for the lie of the Imperial Truth to end up in the trash heap.
Thus, for a rebelling Genetic Prototype like Mortarion to despise the Empire and the Emperor was also perfectly logical.
But the Tribunal was different, Duanmu Huai was different.
The life or death of the Empire was irrelevant to them; Duanmu Huai's Tribunal had only one goal– to guard humanity, and they cared for nothing else. The familial and personal grievances between the Genetic Prototypes and the Emperor were their own matter, irrelevant to the Tribunal.
The Emperor? Even if it was the Emperor, should he dare order the dissolution of the Tribunal, the next moment Duanmu Huai would declare him a Heretic and start swinging the Thunder Warhammer!
Whether it be the Genetic Prototypes or the Emperor, anyone who stood in the way of the Tribunal was an enemy, to be eliminated!
Just like now.
“Boom!!!”
Two giant figures suddenly trembled, backing away from each other. Duanmu Huai gripped his Warhammer, his expression icy cold as thunder and lightning roared on his pitch-black armor, emitting black flames that bore the Divine Power of the God of Destruction, devouring everything that dared to come close to the white frost.
On the other side, at this moment, Mortarion's form had become ever more frail, his body that was originally ten meters tall had now shrunk by half, though still slightly larger than Duanmu Huai. However, now his appearance was also increasingly decrepit, thick yellow viscous fluid flowing from the seams of Mortarion's armor, and the toxic gas ejected from the jets on his back beginning to thin.
