Just after leaving Terra's fleet, they encountered a miniature Warp Storm. It was quite sudden anyway.

In the bridge of Bucephalus, the unlucky Hogg was stuck to the wall by the burst of psychic energy, and was skillfully pulling himself down.

Hogg just fell down and heard Emperor say to him:

"Don't play with him in the future, that trash is not a good thing."

"Oh! Got it."

Hogg didn't speak harshly this time. After all, Khorne screamed quite miserably just now, which made him let out a deep breath.

A Webway door in front of the fleet was opened, and the holographic image showed the image of Captain Eldar's report. Adeptus Custodes, who was standing guard, stared at it and selectively ignored this.

This is not the first time Emperor has entered Webway. As Perpetual, he and his friends have entered here a long time ago.

The technology of the ancient Old Ones family is still unclear to Emperor and can only be imitated. The human Webway Project had already been established before the start of Great Crusade.

If compared, the Webway made by Old Ones is comparable to an interstate highway, while the one made by Emperor is only a cement road in the countryside, which can only be said to be used for makeshift use.

This was built on the countless resources collected during Great Crusade. I really don't know how glorious Old Ones was in the past.

Emperor stopped reminiscing and looked at Hogg, feeling that this kid was really lucky. He was still building the road, and he was already on the highway.

But only things made by humans are the safest. The Webway left behind by Old Ones is too shabby.

"How did you get these Eldar to work for you?"

Looking at Captain Eldar in the holographic image, Emperor asked Hogg.

"Working hard? It's very simple. They were afraid of being corrupted by Chaos God, so I formed a sect and asked them to pray to me. Anyway, I won't be contaminated by my faith.

Besides, I am very kind to them, I regard them as my people, and I give them the opportunity to coexist with human beings and new glory."

"Survival and glory, right? Good idea."

Emperor's calm tone made Hogg feel a trace of unfounded anger.

"Old Man Yellow, although you can't see my memories of this world, you also know what the place where I lived in my previous life was like.

I know you are doing it for humanity, but your approach is too hasty.

If nothing else, the people at the bottom of Terra Hive City live worse than the livestock raised by Alicia. Without strong power to suppress them, you can see if they will rebel.

I don't believe you don't know this situation, you just don't want to do it. You are looking too far and too high. Since you are for human beings, you cannot break away from them. There will be no good end for being separated from the masses.

Do you want to be the savior? Neoth! Do you really want to be a high-altitude god who can only be looked up to?"

Hogg, who expressed his thoughts, hopes to see Emperor change, even a small change can determine the fate of mankind.

But Hogg didn't see any change in him. He only heard Emperor say:

"I'm not God, as long as Great Crusade completes everything will be fine."

"Ah, yes! Yes! Yes! What I just said was in vain. Just wait. You will regret it later."

Hogg, whose persuasion failed greatly, gave up the idea of changing Emperor's mind and continued to collapse on the sofa.

But Emperor was not as calm as he appeared, just because he felt that this was Hogg's hint to the future, but he couldn't understand it.

When Hogg was used as material to be integrated into Primarch 11, Emperor vaguely felt that his destiny had been changed and wanted to explore the knowledge in his mind.

But the problem is that that knowledge is poisonous to him. No one wants to explore Outworld Wanderer's memory, not even him.

Although Hogg's memory is poisonous, Emperor still took the risk and read part of it, but this thing depends on luck like gold mining.

The good news is that seeing Outworld Wanderer's lifestyle made Emperor trust Hogg and also knew that he had a certain understanding of his world.

The bad news is that I haven't seen a single memory that includes this world. It can only be said that I'm just out of luck.

Not to mention strong men like Emperor and Warp Chaos God, now a few more powerful Greater Daemon can kill Hogg. His strength does not lie in his strength.

Just like you can fight a polar bear on the ice field, but you can't fight dog poop on the roadside!

In terms of understanding the essence of Hogg, Emperor, who beat him to death with one punch after another, should be the most authoritative.

Hogg is powerful in two ways. First, his pollution ability is too strong. Not only can he devour C'tan Shard, eating demons is better than eating food, but the most disgusting thing is that the thoughts and consciousness in his head can also affect others.

Even if Emperor beats Hogg for a long time, he will suddenly move closer to his thinking and become a bully, comparable to a bully virus.

The most disgusting thing about Chaos is its pollution ability. As long as it sticks on, it is difficult to clean. However, Hogg can pollute Chaos Daemons in the opposite direction. Which serious person would eat the devil?

The second is resistance. As a high-dimensional remnant, Hogg enjoys something in this world that even gods may not have - priority.

To put it simply, he cannot be distorted or corrupted by faith. He will not be able to become a god in this life.

Because he was a Incinerator to the point of death, and the faith he received was immediately burned, and it could not change him at all.

Why Warp's Chaos God has been staring at him for so long but still unable to corrupt him? It's because he doesn't have the ability. This is why Emperor can only make him Primarch and use emotions to maintain their relationship.

Emperor is a strong man who can compete with the Four Ruinous Powers. Most of his power comes from loans from the future. Time is of little significance to the existence of gods.

Therefore, Emperor was contaminated when he originally read the memory of Hogg. He just erased the contaminated part. Any information related to him will cause serious pollution to him, and it will explode if he fails to do so.

However, there are always more solutions than difficulties. After Hogg returned, the two of them came up with a solution.

Since you can't say it explicitly, you have to rely on hints, but the hints must be to a certain extent, otherwise fate will strike back.

Emperor began his thinking.

"Hogg usually looks heartless and doesn't care how much he scolds him and beats him up. But this time he didn't scold himself, Old Biden, and said a bunch of words that were not in line with his level.

There was something wrong that was ten or even nine percent wrong. He must be hinting at something to me. But what exactly was it?

The cause of the matter is Eldar. Could it be that it is about the god Eldar, but there is only one Joker left among those long ears."

Emperor, who was lost in his thoughts, left the bridge, preparing for Adeptus Custodes to explore the whereabouts of the spirit Eldar. He also had to pay attention to Joker.

And Hogg, who was slumped on the sofa, discovered something interesting.
