Chapter 684: Powerful! I must immediately offer my loyalty to the Emperor
The second brother's suggestion was very useful, but at this time Hogg did not have time to look for his troublesome and rebellious son.
The emperor's escape had far-reaching consequences, but what was even more serious was Malcador. Old Huang was just a meat weapon who was just eating and waiting to die, but Malcador was different. He was the real seal holder.
Without Malcador in charge of the rear, several Primarchs would inevitably be tied down and stay in Terra. In addition, without the Emperor, the most powerful fighter in the Empire, Hogg looked up at Mara slumped on the Golden Throne and couldn't help but sigh.
"I guess we'll have to keep two more people. This idiot will have to count the money for others if he gets sold."
Perhaps sensing the meaning behind Hogg's gaze, Mara spread her hands and hummed:
"What's that expression on your face? You're making me act like a fool who's been sold out and has to count money for others. Can't you have a little confidence in me?"
After hearing this, Magnus and Perturabo, who were members of the scientific research team, couldn't help but sigh, thinking that Mara was good in every way, and could be called a gentle mother who could play with her children, but she was a little stupid.
Thinking of this, Perturabo suddenly realized a problem that everyone had overlooked, and pulled the two of them to the corner:
"Hogg, Xiao Ma, is there a possibility that if Mara sits on this golden throne, when the people of the empire pray to the Emperor, will they also end up like those believers who were killed by Mara, destroying their families and their lives?"
"I don't know, but I think it's very likely."
No one could explain Perturabo's worries, but the three of them instinctively believed that it would become a reality. If so, the previously planned transformation plan would have to be overturned.
Soon, a capable member joined the research team. He was Lorjia, the most religious person among the Primarchs. After learning about his brothers' concerns, Lorjia said with certainty:
“Don’t even think about it. If believers find out that the object of their faith on the throne is not Old Man Huang, they will definitely be contaminated by Mara during the prayer process. Even if they don’t discover the truth, spontaneous faith contamination will occur over time.
During your absence, I conducted numerous experiments on the power of faith. If you want, I can bring over the experimental records."
Five minutes later, three people in the Blacklight's foundry received an experimental log from a Word Bearers think tank, which made them look unhappy.
However, there are always more solutions than problems. The three of them each did their job and first made a Dreadnought frame that could adapt to Mara. The original Dreadnought was tailor-made for Coze. With the three of them present, there was no need to go far away.
First of all, the materials were comprehensively optimized and all changed into living metals that could be accommodated by the Star Gods. This thing had a strong blocking effect on psychic energy and could greatly reduce the pain that Mara was enduring.
A more efficient but more expensive neural connection system was installed by Perturabo, and Magnus carved a large number of psychic diversion arrays on the body, allowing the dreadnought to move remotely.
Under Luo Jia's guidance, Hogg used his own bones to shape standard parts based on previous experimental data to fill the living metal frame.
Hogg firmly believed that if an airplane could not fly, it must be because it did not have enough power. As long as the power was strong enough, it could allow a Leman Russ to fly into the sky and a Warlord-class Titan to do a double jump.
A crude prototype with a huge coil on top was quickly produced. In order to ensure the success of the experiment, Magnus, the psychic Primarch closest to the Emperor, became the experimenter.
As the red-skinned, one-eyed Sunburned Ogryn entered, the pipelines throughout the entire platform were instantly lit up, and the unique nervous systems of the Iron Warriors were connected one by one, gradually absorbing the powerful psychic energy in Magnus' body.
"Xiao Ma, how do you feel?" "I feel my spiritual energy has been absorbed, but the power is still not enough. How about we add another spiritual energy transmission antenna?"
Magnus's proposal was quickly adopted, and another thick psychic coil was inserted. This time Magnus nodded, but he still felt it was a bit unreliable.
Finally, after repeated changes of adding flour when there was too much water and adding water when there was too much flour, a giant dreadnought that was ten meters tall and about the same size as a squire-class knight mecha was created.
The entire device has a built-in subatomic reactor, but it usually relies on the driver's psychic power to operate. The purpose is to consume Mara's powerful psychic energy. Even if Magnus sits on it, he will be drained on the spot.
Of course, as a creation that Hogg participated in, there must be a cool hairstyle with the unique characteristics of Blackwatch above its cockpit. In order to take Mara's emotions into consideration, Hogg modified the shape of the antenna and disguised it as two rabbit ears.
Since this Dreadnought is a golden toilet, in order to make it look more high-end, Hogg named it the Frozen Throne and carved many mysterious blue runes on it. Coupled with the overall black body and gold border paint, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the boss of the Scourge.
As a carrier created for their mother, the four primarchs did their best. Lorgar put on the papal robes that he had awarded to himself, invited a group of Word Bearers to consecrate it on the spot, and installed a huge cloak that represented his status.
Not wanting to be outdone, Perturabo worked with Magnus to create a giant weapon that fit his body size, as well as a positron shoulder cannon that could fire an extinction ray.
Finally, maybe because of a brain storm, the four brothers decided to put some clothes on the mecha, so they put Hogg on it and disguised it as a black silk tight skirt. Moreover, this layer of living skin can change automatically according to their thoughts.
Looking at the tall machine in the workshop, the four brothers smiled with satisfaction, but after Hogg looked at it for a while, he suddenly found that this thing had a weird sense of déjà vu after the shoulder cannon and weapons were installed, as if it was an anime he had watched in his previous life, called AVI. In short, it was a bit awkward.
But seeing the passionate eyes of his good brother, Hogg gave up the idea of changing the appearance, took out a wireless handle and controlled the Emperor Knight to fly out.
Magnus cast a psychic spell on Lorgar and Perturabo to ensure that they could survive in the void, but Hogg was thick-skinned and didn't need it. The four brothers sat on this slightly risqué Emperor's Knight and flew to the palace.
In order to ensure that the believers would regard this knight as the emperor, when Lorgar installed the cloak, he specially wrote four big words on the back - "Lord of Mankind!"
The strong wind blew on the mecha. Thanks to the characteristics of living metal and Hogg's flesh and blood, the mecha perfectly restored the arc of the trembling flesh and blood, which opened the eyes of all the residents of the hive city.
Looking at the strange machine flying through the sky, a little girl on the top floor of the nest asked her mother:
"Mom, what is that?"
Glancing at her five-year-old daughter, the mother responsibly read out the four characters on the cloak in Gogothic:
"Silly boy, this is of course our great human emperor! Look at those four little black dots, aren't they the Primarchs of our empire?"
The little girl had a small head and a lot of doubts. Her worldview changed a little. She felt something was a little strange, but couldn't tell what it was. She could only look up at the machine and said to her mother:
"Wow! No wonder my father went upstairs when he took me to take a bath. It turns out he didn't lie to me and really went to serve the Divine Emperor! This big guy looks exactly like the one who took my father upstairs."
Children are ignorant, but adults are not fools. After hearing this, the mother turned her head and looked at her husband who was sweating next to her:
"Tom! Is this what you call devotion to the God-Emperor?"
