Those who are favored are confident. This sentence may be referring to Hogg itself!
In Terra's Imperial Palace, Emperor and Malcador are squatting on the steps, smoking "Emperor's Spirit" named Zhending and giving them a sample to experience.
As three streaks of green smoke rose, the juice extracted from Catachan Man-eater Tree was atomized and sucked into the bodies of two people and one cat. The slight corrosiveness burned the organs, making Emperor sigh:
"This thing is so powerful!"
"I'm right! The big guy with the cool golden color is the great victory of modernism. Those traditional scum will be eliminated by the times, and I, Rick Zhending, am the real hero!"
Looking at the mechanical life forms dancing and showing exaggerated expressions below, Malcador felt that he might have to work overtime again. The work Hogg did this time would definitely attract the attention of all parties.
"Damn it! My lord, don't you think that boy can't save his time? It's just such a big job. Doesn't he know that I wiped his ass for Zerg last time?
Just because of this, the Ministry of Interior exhausted 17 skilled political workers to death, and now they have come up with 'Emperor's Spirit'. I really want to beat him to death."
As if he had already seen himself working overtime in the future, the helpless Malcador took a deep breath and contributed a small amount to Terra's air pollution.
The complaints from old friends did not make Emperor feel bored with this group of robot cats. After getting rid of the initial rage, Emperor found that these interesting little things are really quite good.
As the highest strength of Master of Mankind and Imperium, Emperor was able to see that this individual named Zhending had strange soul fluctuations, and looking at the essence through the phenomenon, he found that this was Machine Spirit who had become a spirit.
Recall that Alpha reported that Hogg obtained a piece of C'tan Shard from Sanguinius, and it didn't take long to create these little things.
Emperor can completely guess what happened, and after scanning with psychic energy, Psionic Energy was indeed found on Zhending that matched the energy fluctuations of C'tan.
Coupled with the detailed experimental records attached to Hogg's report, Emperor began to seriously consider the possibility of making them vassals of humans, and the result was obviously feasible.
Although I know that the appearance of these little guys will definitely have an impact on Imperium, but the flaws are not concealed, Rick can indeed improve the combat effectiveness of team Imperial Army.
The most important thing is that Emperor is very pleased with this little thing and agrees with his own taste. He doesn't want to be like a traitor and only make him angry.
So...
"My friend, you are carrying the heavy burden of Imperium on your shoulders! Please work harder for the revival of mankind. I agree that this race named Rick will become a vassal of mankind, and give them the title of 'Emperor's Spirit'."
Emperor and Hogg are exactly the same in terms of not being human beings. Just like Hogg has the chief manager Emilia, Old Man Yellow also has Sigillite Malcador.
The regent, who just made a few remarks, was shocked by the shamelessness of his old friend. It was a pleasure to cooperate with you and my son, but I was the one who suffered in the end.
But Malcador, who got on the Emperor pirate ship, could only do as he was told. Who called him Sigillite? He was born to work hard. It can only be said that good people are bullied by others. Without Imperium, Malcador would not be able to operate at all.
Soon, a vassal race named Rick was added to Imperium's file records, and with Blackwatch's running around style, humans also saw these little things.
Rick Clan was given the title "Emperor's Spirit" by Emperor, which successfully eliminated the detection of most forces, but they discovered that this group of Rick likes to promote tobacco.
They are also divided into three groups, one is the orange Rick that advocates electronic cigarettes, the other is the black and white Rick that advocates traditional cigarettes, and the leopard print Rick combines ancient and modern cigarettes.
The most ridiculous thing is that it really attracted a group of human beings who didn't mind the excitement. After they chose a camp that suited their preferences, they actually formed a party and fought with other forces.
In this regard, Hogg, as the initiator, can only lament that no matter what era the nature of human beings' division into camps will never change.
Forge World Sphinx located on Alicia Sector was selected by Hogg to become the breeding base of the Rick Clan.
The Tech-priests on it also liked these smart little things very much, not to mention that they would come up with the same strange inventions as Greenskin, which attracted this group of tentacle monsters to praise that this was the manifestation of Omnissiah.
As the main location of the Rick production base, a full company of Blackwatchs are stationed here. Most of them are Space Marines who have a relatively high adaptability to Psionic Energys.
The main job of this group of people is to hunt Warp creatures and throw these energy-rich corpses into Psionic Furnace as firewood to provide energy for the birth of Rick.
But what no one knows is that an uninvited guest sneaked into the warehouse where Machine Spirit attachments were stored and secretly dropped the core materials used to produce Rick.
Looking at the stable production report of Sphinx, Hogg suddenly discovered that the probability of Rick being born was a bit high recently, but this did not attract Hogg's attention.
"Maybe it's because the new Machine Spirit attachment is better! After all, this thing depends on probability."
Putting down the report in his hand, Hogg was curious that Old Man Yellow had become sensible this time and didn't come over to beat him up. Could it be that he was impressed by the creation of his genius?
Just when Hogg lamented that he was a talent, an alarm came from the planetary defense satellite. An unknown ship traveled from Mandeville Point to Alicia.
After glancing at the picture taken by the satellite, it was obvious that the damaged ship above was not the Imperium force, but was undoubtedly a ruined ship of another race.
"Father, we have been in contact with that ruined ship. The situation here is a bit special. I think you should come and take a look."
Psychic Network heard the voice of Chang Li Ang from Ninth Company, which made Hogg become interested in this ship. He called his own guards and flew to the star port on the landing ship.
The first time he arrived at the star port, Hogg saw a gap cut out of the alien hulk by plasma, and a group of Tech-priest were entering and exiting inside.
Li Ang, who was wearing Power Armor, was waiting for Hogg at the gap. When he saw him coming, he immediately ran over and guided Hogg through the gap to the inside of the hulk.
Hogg noticed something was wrong the first time he entered the hull. At first he thought it was the spaceship of the Xenos creature, but the technology used inside the hull was very similar to Imperium.
As they continued to go deeper, Hogg became more certain that this was a human spacecraft. It was just that their technology was different from Imperium, but the general direction was the same.
Soon Hogg saw a intact corpse. After testing, the DNA coding of this creature was basically the same as that of humans. They were humans, and even genetically more similar to humans.
What's interesting is that most of this corpse is made of machinery. Only the spine and brain are living tissues. After comparing more corpses, Hogg came up with a guess.
"They are Jingyuan Federation!"
