An Unfortunate Individual
The female body inside the incubation chamber slowly opened her eyes.
Han Mingxuan saw it clearly; the color of the other person's pupils changed several times.
At first it was nothingness, then it turned black when it regained its vitality, and then it turned purple, but that purple was a deathly purple.
Before long, the purple color disappeared without a trace, and the pupils turned black again.
At the same time, her originally long black hair turned pale and withered, and then turned into a light purple.
Han Mingxuan could sense many things from this individual; it was very complex.
The individual opened the hatch and stepped out, quietly observing the crowd.
What should I call you?
"You intentionally created me, but didn't know how to address me?"
Your consciousness is complex.
Han Mingxuan could clearly sense that, besides the portion of his soul that he had transferred out, this individual also possessed...
There was another part of consciousness, a consciousness that represented endless desolation and hunger.
If that were the case, it would be fine, because besides that, there was something else that Han Mingxuan never expected.
That is the power of Slaanesh.
He never expected that Slaanesh would dare to jump out in front of him at this critical juncture.
"You are very perceptive, human."
The original elegant voice disappeared, replaced by a haughty and cold one.
"Are you the Great Devourer?"
"That's right."
"I thought all you could do was scream."
"The great Tyranids can evolve into anything they want, and right now I'm just using these vocal cords to speak to you."
"As something that can bring me a fleeting moment of satisfaction, I will cherish your nourishment and genes."
Tsk.
That's exactly what Great Devourer would say, since the other party is an insect whose only knowledge is eating.
However, Han Mingxuan ignored the other party, because he knew that in addition to these two, a portion of Slaanesh's power was also involved.
"Slaanesh, come out here!"
With a roar, Han Mingxuan's coldness and deathly stillness vanished without a trace, replaced by a vivid and alluring charm.
"Sir, it's truly a rare treat to see you again."
"You should know that appearing so openly in front of me is tantamount to courting death."
"That is indeed true, sir. But as the old saying goes, 'Put yourself in a desperate situation, and you will survive.'"
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
"No, no, no, sir, you won't kill me. You still need this individual, you really need him."
"The Tyranids are a cosmic plague; humanity alone cannot defeat them."
"So you came up with the idea of using the Tyranids to counterbalance the Tyranids, therefore, this individual used for counterbalance is very important."
"That's precisely why I've placed such a heavy bet on this individual."
Han Mingxuan didn't speak; he simply stared coldly at the individual in front of him.
What do you want to do?
"Power, sir," Slaanesh said with a smile, "I can feel my blessing emanating from the maidservant beside you."
"But that blessing is fundamentally different from mine, because that blessing is given by a completely positive authority."
"I want to know where that kind of power comes from; I long for that kind of power!"
"If I could, I would want those powers!"
Hearing this, Han Mingxuan laughed.
"You can only dream about such things. I will not give you Positive Authority, and you will not get it anyway."
"Then we'll wait and see, sir. Until you decide to abandon this individual, I'll keep a close eye on you until I find your weakness."
"Someone as lowly as you from the street doesn't deserve it."
Before Slaanesh could react, Han Mingxuan injected a surge of power into the individual's body.
This force then pursued Slaanesh's wisps of consciousness until it reached his physical form.
"Seale it!"
Thus, of the three consciousnesses that originally existed within the individual, Slaanesh's consciousness has now been sealed by Han Mingxuan.
Even Slaanesh himself in the Warp was affected; a portion of his power was sealed away.
After this farce ended, the consciousness cultivated by Han Mingxuan once again took control of the body.
"How should I address you? Creator? God? Sir? Or Father?"
Looking at the woman in front of him and hearing her question, Han Mingxuan never expected her to ask such a question.
Why do you have this question?
"Your Excellency, of course I know who I am. I am a wisp of the consciousness of the Great Devourer, a part of the Hive Mind. I should have returned or been digested."
"But you nurtured me with your strength, which taught me about human customs and values."
In the secular worldview of humankind, such a being is called a father.
"By human standards, you are my father, and the Great Devourer is my mother."
"By human standards, my birth was unfortunate."
Isn't it unfortunate to be unloved by both parents?
"It's clear that as part of the Hive Mind, your personal emotions are too strong, but this is indeed a problem caused by my oversight."
Han Mingxuan hadn't expected that his original Hive Mind's will grow as quickly as possible and become able to distinguish right from wrong.
But I didn't expect to apply too much force.
This actually made the other person more emotional.
So what do you plan to do?
"Before your so-called mother arrives, you'll stay with me."
Is this showing care or supervision?
"You have too many emotional questions."
"I understand, Your Excellency."
"Sir, who is she?"
At Han Mingxuan's home, Urtana looked at the woman following behind Han Mingxuan.
Urtana could clearly sense that something was wrong with the other person.
There are at least two consciousnesses existing within that woman's body.
"This is an individual manifestation of the Hive Mind; she will stay by my side until the upcoming war."
Urtana was silent for a moment, then tilted her head and asked a question that shocked Han Mingxuan.
"So this is a tool you created?"
Hiss!
Tool?
Humanoid!
Oh no, oh no, this is terrible!
"Urtana, arrange accommodation for her first. I'll go find Konrad."
"Yes."
After saying this, Han Mingxuan walked briskly without stopping for a moment.
Watching Han Mingxuan leave in a hurry, that individual actually smiled.
What are you laughing at?
Did I laugh? I don't even know what I was laughing at. By human standards, I should be happy right now.
Urtana didn't speak, she just walked ahead, and the other person didn't speak either, just followed Urtana.
Is Urtana your name?
"Yes."
"Did you name me?"
Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.
"Then it seems that it was indeed you who chose the name for you."
Urtana stopped talking and continued walking forward, soon arriving at the door of an empty room.
"The Master created you, so you should know some basic common sense. I won't say more, but don't cause trouble."
"I understand, Urtana. Besides, I also want to have my own name."
Urtana gave the other person a deep look, then left.
Urtana was at a loss for words to answer this peculiar creation, and even Mr. Han was at a loss for words.
