Chapter 357 346. Good things are all good things.
A little unknown technology, a ball of soulless blood embedded deep in the chip, and some loyal personality -
you can create an existence that walks on the edge of the rules.
Hades...Hades knew what he was doing, so while creating this creation, Hades also imposed strict restrictions on it.
The first is the soulless flesh and blood that cannot be separated, which will limit the unlimited growth of data - after all, no matter how efficient the data is, it will be limited by hardware.
The second is the [Update] rules set by Hades for this system. Pluto personally designed a data collection box made of black stone, named the black box.
The black stone material comes from the black stone buried under the Eryi Cathedral.
The Forge World of Salem will select the most outstanding great sages in various fields, and after passing the loyalty appraisal, they will be transplanted with black boxes.
But the selection is not over yet.
Only when the sage sacrifices his life for humanity and is judged by many parties as having a stable and pure personality can he be said to be completely chosen.
The black box will be placed in the Cathedral of the Second One for a full year and then the personality stability will be assessed again.
After there are no problems with stability and loyalty, this personality will be integrated into the Nirvana system.
Out of the need to update and adapt to the times, the newly integrated personality will account for one-third of the dominance in Nirvana to ensure system stability.
Integrating into the personality is not possible at any time. It must meet the time limit set by Hades. For this purpose, Hades designed two hourglasses that are twisted together. The system can only be updated when the hourglass reaches the bottom.
There are complex calculation equations for the unstable timing of this hourglass, and Hades believes that it will not be deciphered quickly.
If it is not updated on time, the Nirvana system will be automatically destroyed.
The update will ensure that the Nirvana system will closely follow the faction it serves, but will not suddenly become extreme.
At the same time, the Nirvana system and the weapons arsenal are not directly connected. Hades gave the sages an iterative code table, and the sages need to manually manufacture the corresponding signal converters according to the era.
Similar to the Nirvana system, which actually has two plugs, but the base of the weapon system has three plugs. The sages need to build a converter themselves and convert it in the physical world.
If there really is a rampage... the sages can physically unplug you at any time, or wait for the docking password to be automatically updated to a new generation, and the original converter will become invalid.
And if the Nirvana system starts trying to calculate the docking password independently, the destruction code left by Hades will be activated immediately.
Hades thought, the current Nirvana capacity is too small, twenty-two personalities cannot even bear the planning and calculation of a planet, this is just a preliminary attempt... people have enough time to wait and trial and error, or destroy it .
When the Emperor's solution arrived, Hades would ask again if it was possible.
But in fact, when Hades created the Nirvana system, he also had plans for a pessimistic future -
if he was really trapped in the maelstrom and lacked manpower and materials, a system with high computing power would be necessary. Although everything seems to be getting better now, Hades can clearly see that the psykers in the team are dying - which is not a good thing, because most of these psykers are navigators.
He had to find another way out.
But the good news is...perhaps one day when Hades really felt in his heart that he was going to be a bully in the Maelstrom for the rest of his life, the Charon he longed for finally came back.
The good news is that Malcador didn't come, and the even better news is -
the huge shadow in the sky slowly shrouded, and Hades opened his mouth in disbelief.
The elegant hull, which is slightly thinner than the Glory Queen, is floating quietly in the sky. The huge fine gold horn is flashing with a dim and low-key light, and the whole body is submerged in darkness.
Several tall and pointed black stone towers are arched on the ship. Except for construction needs, the steel pipes that have to be exposed shine in a cold silver gray. The main hull is paved with black.
The sharp Gothic language shines on the bow of the ship, harsh and frivolous -
[My friend, death is not a bad thing. ]
Below is the name of the ship, [Kokutus].
Kocutus means the river of lamentation. The water is so cold that sinners shed tears and fall into the River Styx. The river of tears flows slowly.
Angron, who was standing next to Hades, laughed and patted Hades's shoulder armor,
[Brother, this is too dark. I see that you like to be more low-key? 】
But when they walked onto the ship to visit, Angron chose to take back his previous evaluation.
——————————
Hades deadpanned, deciding to weld himself into the floor and never come out.
Compared with the low-key style of the sages of Phaos, the sages of Rust are obviously more noisy in terms of decoration style.
Those wise men actually built a river on a boat named River Styx.
There was no light in Hades's eyes. He stared at the quietly flowing river beside his feet. He was very sure that the liquid flowing in the river was definitely not water, but... blood. The river runs through the entire main body of the ship. Walking along the river, they can pass through a long corridor of adamantine keel, and then to the main hall, where Charon and Hefa are waiting for their master.
Hades wanted to facepalm, but he held back.
The large platform that occupies one-third of the main hall is tiered upwards, with rivers flowing on both sides. Scarlet velvet carpets are laid in the center, and the top is naturally the throne of Pluto.
The dark throne is composed of cold geometry with symmetrical aesthetics. Low-key and luxurious pale green diamonds and scarlet diamonds are inlaid on it from the bottom, and become sparser as it goes up. Finally, complete darkness occupies the main body.
Behind the throne is a mural inlaid with countless gems. A man stands alone among the treacherous waves, with his scythe raised high. The calm darkness breaks under his feet, straightly separating the chaotic waves on both sides.
The waves are entirely made of gemstones and confuse the human eye, but the darkness is completely filled with black stones, which is simple and unpretentious.
Three three-headed hell dog statues stood on both sides of the throne, one standing, one lying down, and one sitting, with different expressions, and their ruby eyes shone with sharp cold light.
In other parts of the hall, there are also exquisite and gorgeous murals carved.
The style is quite similar to the prosperous and luxurious style of traditional sanctuaries such as Mars.
Hades felt like he was about to lose his breath. He was aware of Angron's hesitant gaze behind him.
What's even more dangerous for Hades is that Charon and Hefa are standing on both sides of the steps at the moment, just making way for Hades to climb the steps.
The look in their eyes seemed to signal Hades to climb up so they could talk about business.
Hades briefly imagined the scene, and he could feel the suffocating embarrassment - maybe the sages wanted a scene where thousands of people would kneel down and worship. No, Hades would never sit on it.
Hades didn't like the feeling of looking at people through his nostrils. It reminded him of an emperor from some kind of feudal dynasty, or an arrogant and rude boss.
Hades swallowed,
"Charon, time is running out. I hope you will tell me the emperor's plan as soon as possible."
After the previous baptism, Charon will no longer show unnecessary emotions. This is a good thing.
Hades watched Charon walk towards him and slowly presented a wooden box with his hands.
The box was engraved with countless golden inscriptions, and violent spiritual energy was pulsating on it. It seemed impossible to open it. Hades skillfully stretched out his hand, and he released the black domain to swallow up the excess spiritual energy.
The lock is unlocked.
Hades hesitated, briefly considering the possibility that the Emperor might shock him, and finally Hades decided to open it.
Unexpectedly, he saw a phalanx.
But...there is something strange about this phalanx. It is not placed in the center, but lies quietly in the middle and upper part of the box.
An eerily familiar feeling.
Hades silently stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to confirm which phalanx it was.
With his hand hanging above the box, Hades slowly made a classic gesture. The position was just right. The moment he made the gesture, a burst of golden light lit up, and a simple gesture was traced on the bottom of the box.
That's right, what the emperor sent this time was the first section of his right middle finger.
Behind Hades, Angron, who had witnessed the entire nouveau riche style of decoration, finally couldn't help but speak,
[Hades, what does that gesture mean? What does he want to express? ]
Hades didn't even turn his head. He reached back with his hand accurately and silently pushed back the middle finger that Angron had extended.
"This is a... gesture of approval and friendliness, but don't learn it, no, don't do it, Angron... No, don't ask me why, just let me beg you." Fortunately, Angron is loyal enough
. He really didn't do or ask anymore.
This is many times better than the emperor who traveled thousands of miles to send him a middle finger.
————————
On that day, perhaps the only thing that made Hades a little happier was that he saw the familiar touch of Macragge blue in the nouveau riche-style bedroom decorated for him by the sages.
Following the suggestion from Kirkland, the Great Sage took the risk and stole this large and commemorative carpet from the items sealed by Hades in the Death Guard.
The Lord of Death had already noticed this, but Mortarion could only express his congratulations that the Endurance was missing a bit of blue.
No, so you can go to bed early.
