Chapter 961, The Thousand-Faced God
Gu Hang was willing to meet the old woman, her unconditional surrender, and the fact that she seemed to have shown goodwill to humans and had been a "dark elf traitor" were all important factors.
However, the most decisive factor was that Gu Hang had many questions and wanted to ask the old woman.
About many things.
…
"Let's start with the surrender of the elves." Gu Hang sat quite casually.
The old woman did not speak at first, she just observed Gu Hang.
For God, such direct observation and direct gaze is actually not good.
But she couldn't help it.
The biggest reason is that the image presented by Gu Hang is too... ordinary.
He was wearing an outfit that, in the eyes of human aesthetics, fell somewhere between formal and casual attire—uncomplicated, yet maintaining a certain solemnity. He sat in a chair, his posture casual, yet not too frivolous.
This fits the profile of a leader of human forces.
But it was so fitting that the old woman felt it was unreal.
Just looking at it this way, I can't see anything.
Taking a deep breath, the old woman began to answer the questions honestly.
She was here on behalf of the Dark Eldar to discuss unconditional surrender.
The so-called unconditional surrender does not mean that the weapons are laid down without any conditions. Rather, it means that there is no negotiation, and the victor only conveys unilateral surrender requirements and specific matters of surrender, such as time and place, to the defeated country.
At the same time, the victorious side does not recognize any political power of the former government, political groups, or leaders of the defeated side. From the moment the defeated side signs its surrender until a new relationship is established with the victorious side, all functions of the defeated side's government are exercised by the victorious side's garrison headquarters.
Although they do not want to negotiate, the Dark Eldar also want an explanation for their surrender from the Alliance.
The first reason why they were willing to surrender was, of course, that they had no other choice and could not win.
The second point was made by the old woman. She believed that surrendering to humans would not only mean the end of this war, but also the hope for the Eldar to develop in a new stage.
In other words, she did not think that the unconditional surrender of the Eldar, which would bring Comoros and the entire race under the jurisdiction of the Alliance, would be a catastrophe for the Eldar.
On the contrary, that is the future. The Eldar will be better off for it.
Hearing this, Gu Hang spoke with a smile.
"What basis do you have to make such a judgment? Perhaps, after you surrender unconditionally, you will be slaughtered."
"Will you do that?"
"Maybe," Gu Hang said, "Dark Eldar... properly managing you is a very risky thing. If you rebel, it will be a big trouble. Whether the benefits of keeping you will outweigh the risks of managing and suppressing you is unknown."
Gu Hang actually spoke very frankly.
The old woman heard this, but she didn't get angry or anything because she didn't get the promise of safety.
"All this is Mensa's will. I believe in Mensa and I believe in you."
Gu Hang heard something that interested him even more.
As for why he had such an understanding, it came from their god - Mensha.
Because Gu Hang had just captured an elf god and learned some information from it.
The Eldar Empire, once the dominant power in the universe, also had its own deities. Some studies often claim that the Eldar once had many deities, a so-called pantheon, where the gods sat above, protecting the entire race.
However, the history of the Eldar is too long, and this race as a whole is very mysterious to humans. Human alien research scholars have very incomplete research on the Eldar.
And when Gu Hang captured the residual soul in the sword of Como, he began to try to digest the subspace essence of this eldar god just like he had digested those captured demons and neuron worms in the past.
But it failed.
Among them, the essence of the subspace does exist, and it is very rich, no worse than a god-like demon - this is just a dead Eldar god, who can only use a so-called divine sword as a shelter, but it can have such power!
However, thinking back to the previous battle, judging from the three swords swung by Victor, it is normal for Como's residual soul to have such a huge power.
But if it is just powerful, it will only slightly increase the difficulty of digestion, but it will not make it impossible to eat.
There are two core issues.
The first thing Gu Hang encountered was the huge "distractions" attached to it. When the Eldar Empire collapsed, it seemed that the despair of trillions of Eldar attached to the God of Despair, and he carried it until now.
If he swallowed it without any care, the hidden danger would be very great. Those desperate regrets would probably continue to echo in Gu Hang's Storm Kingdom.
Of course, if that were all, it wouldn't stop Gu Hang from "eating" it.
It's nothing more than spending a little more time, dealing with it slowly, and removing those regrets bit by bit.
In short, it can only be considered a trouble at most and cannot stop Gu Hang from eating Como.
However, another problem is more troublesome.
While "eating" Como, Gu Hang discovered that this guy was not an independent individual.
It is not even just a separated fragment, it is connected to a very distant and powerful existence.
Even if the thing opposite is not as good as the Four Gods or the Emperor, it is at least on the same level as himself.
However, it seemed to be in a very weak state.
Although this connection is very secretive and difficult to detect if Gu Hang is not trying to devour and digest Como, this secret connection is also very solid.
as if……
They are one and the same, different manifestations of the same being.
This made it impossible for Gu Hang to eat it unless he could grab the other side that was connected to it.
"These gods of your Eldar race...what exactly is going on? Can this old woman explain this to me?"
"I'd love to answer that for you, but I can't," the old woman answered truthfully.
But before Gu Hang could show his disappointment, he saw the old woman's body suddenly begin to glow slightly.
"However, you can contact directly..."
Her voice began to become vague, and then her voice changed a little, becoming a male and female voice:
"…talk to us directly."
Gu Hang's expression became restrained.
The residual soul of Como, a distant connected existence, seemed to have come before him just like that.
"Who are you?"
"I am Windsor, Mensa, and Como... One god, a thousand faces."
"I am the ten thousand statues in the temple, the reflection of all the achievements, emotions, and thoughts of the Eldar..."
Gu Hang heard this and waved his hand: "Come on, come on... I know what you are."
"Just losers. It's just that I thought you were a bunch of losers, but it turns out you're all the same, right?"
