Chapter 700 You should find a son of your own
The Laughing God was satisfied. With Hogg's promise, he suddenly had infinite visions for the future. Seeing that the fleet had begun to sail out of the Webway, he was ready to leave immediately.
But before he could turn his head, Hogg slapped him in the face and ordered the fleet to turn around, retreat a little, and close the webway gate that had just been opened.
It was the first time that the fleet was seen retreating. Because of the thick dimensional barriers and the webway built by the ancient saints, the three gazes could not be seen clearly, and this made the blue mollusk very anxious.
Not only were those three confused, Xilego was even more confused. Then he saw Hogg's eyes were blurry, looking at him with an expression as if he was about to die.
"What's wrong with you, Hogg? Why are you towing the ship back?"
"Shut up! I, Hogg, have never lost to anyone in my life. Even if I lose, I will lose with dignity. See the red light around me? I'm going to slow down this time, so just stand still!"
Scarlet electric light surged in the dog's paws, and with repeated friction, more and more psionic energy was gathered here. Hogg consumed his last remaining psionic energy reserves and rubbed an amulet for the clown who had the same stench as him. Its specifications were exactly the same as the one he gave to Slan.
"Take it!"
At first, Xilego didn't want it, because he found that after Hogg made the amulet, the whole dog became very listless and became a half-dead corgi, the kind that was really about to die.
Hogg was extremely annoyed by this kind of drama, which was like the repeated requests and refusal during the Chinese New Year. He rushed forward and stabbed him in the waist with a dog's head, and pulled his hair and cursed non-stop:
"You bastard, who said this is for you? This is clearly for my future... my future little brother. I won't give it to you even though you want it.
I am kindhearted, and I cannot bear to see a good lackey like you get hit and killed. If you are hit by a car one day, this amulet can save your life."
Hogg's behavior was very abnormal, and was very different from the expression he had when he said goodbye just now. There was a strange contradiction, but Xilego obviously saw something. But before he could say anything, Luo Jia on the side swung his war hammer over.
"Oh!"
Under the powerful brute force of the Primarch, the war hammer forged with 99% pure adamantium directly smashed out two of Xilego's front teeth, making him swallow back the words he was about to say.
If he was humiliated like this on a normal day, Xilego, after all, was one of the gods of the Eldar, and he would definitely fight to the death with the person who dared to humiliate him. But when he saw that Hogg had already ejected the power claw in his hand that flashed with a decomposing force field and was about to stab it into his neck, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand:
"Thank you, Mouse Galo!"
"You're welcome, this is what I should do."
Seeing that this kid was so smart, Hogg nodded, extinguished the decomposition force field in his hand, pointed to the webway barrier above, and explained:
“The Webway is not omnipotent. Although it can isolate the subspace, as long as we find a way, we can always destroy it. Even now, I have nine ways to tear a hole in it.
I don't know if those bastards are watching you, but now that you have met me, your good days will be numbered. Got it?"
Xilego thought he understood, but it seemed impossible that he understood. However, he couldn't ask yet, so he could only give Hogg a look that showed he didn't understand.
However, what Shilogo didn't know was that the last person who made eye contact with Hogg was Horus. Just this exchange led to the two heroes, Erebus and Kor Phaeron, being stabbed to death. Even their bodies were not spared, and were thrown into the star by Black Watch to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
Seeing that the young man was not only sensible but also smart, Hogg couldn't help but nodded, secretly sighing that the clown was indeed the most principled god among the bean sprouts, much better than the stupid god of war who was beaten into pieces.
"Listen carefully, we don't have much time, you must remember every word I say.
You must carry this amulet with you from now on, and you can only throw it away when you are in a situation where you are sure to die. You must throw it at the person who wants to kill you. You will understand the so-called situation where you are sure to die in the future. Don't ask me when it will be, because I don't know either.
And this is just the first step. If you want to save your life, you need another precaution. Don't blame me for being cruel. This is exactly the reward you deserve. Be good and take off your clothes! Let me check if you are healthy. "
"what?"
As one of the Eldar gods who specialized in playing tricks, Xilego could understand Hogg's first words, but he became upset when he heard that he had to take off his clothes. Seeing that there was no one around except the three of them, his face turned red with embarrassment.
"It's not impossible."
"???"
This time there was no need for Hogg to signal. Luo Jia on the side could not bear to watch it anymore, so he picked up the Light of Enlightenment in his hand and swung it out with such great force that he broke Xilego's calf on the spot.
"Bah! You bastard, how dare you blaspheme my good brother? Do you think I don't exist? Blush, if you keep blushing, I will peel off your face."
Not only was Lorga furious, but Hogg was even more furious. He didn't care about any evil gods who were watching him, and he picked up his weapons and beat up this filthy bastard together with Lorga. In the end, he even tore off the dirty clothes on his body.
Looking at the dog sitting on the ground with his arms folded across his chest, Hogg kicked him to the ground and signaled Lorga to come over and hold him down. Lying on the ground, Xilego didn't know what Hogg was going to do, but he could hear the sound of the decomposition force field being activated, and then he felt a sharp pain:
"Be quiet! I'm trying to save your life. How do you write the word 'life' in the Eldar language? Wait for me to think about it!"
The Decomposition Field is very useful against aliens, but for a warp god like Xilego, it can only cause some scratches at most. What's more important is the scarlet electric light flashing on the power claws, which can only be truly left by psionic energy.
As Hogg wrote and drew, Xilego felt that Hogg was writing some words, but based on the Eldar language, he felt that it did not seem like the Eldar language because the strokes were not right.
That's definitely not right. The Eldar language sounds like singing, and the words are all twisted and turned. With Hogg's literary attainments, it's good enough that he didn't make any typos. How could he expect it to be beautiful? That would really embarrass him.
Looking at the four big words written in the Eldar language in front of him, Hogg nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Slan, that stubborn guy, really doesn't know what's good. As the saying goes, there is life, there is hope. Even though you refused in the beginning, didn't you still rely on this trick to escape from the hands of the Star God?
He found a piece of cloth and covered Xilego with it. Without giving him a chance to turn his head and wait, Hogg moved Xilego's head and said to him righteously:
"Don't ever look back. It won't work if you look back. Wait until the destined moment. Throw the amulet over first, then unbutton your clothes and show your back to others. Don't worry about anything at this time. Just run. You will definitely be able to save your life."
"Is it true? Foster father!"
"It's true!" Hogg smiled with a firm look in his eyes. He took out a photo he and Shi Lan took together and said:
“To be honest, after I said goodbye to Shi Lan, I also gave him such a talisman, and it was this talisman that allowed it to escape from the hands of the Star God. Even the words on your back are exactly the same, except that the Star God does not have words, but transmits with consciousness. Yours is already considered simple.
Remember, don't reveal the spell on your back unless it's absolutely necessary. I don't want to see my son die before me."
Hogg is known for his mood swings, but Xilego can feel a sense of warmth from his behavior, and even a sense of supreme mission. After all, Hogg can be his father!
"Father, I will remember what you said. Can you also leave me a photo?"
For some reason, Hogg was also a little moved. Although they had only been together for a short time, he felt the young man's sincerity and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Luo Jia, come and take a picture for us!"
Taking the camera handed over by his elder brother, Luo Jia loaded the film and motioned Xilego to straighten his head and look towards the camera, but Xilego remained unmoved. Instead, he tilted his mouth to the right like Hogg's barrel and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle:
"No need, I'll look wherever my father looks, so let's just shoot like this."
As the shutter button was pressed, two photos popped out of the camera. Looking at the dog and bean sprout with similar expressions, even Luo Jia couldn't help but sigh:
"Same, so similar!"
"Of course not. As long as I am here, my father's bloodline will never be broken."
Putting the photo back into his pocket dimension, Hogg knew that he could not delay any longer. If he continued to waste time, those guys would definitely cause some trouble.
The ship that was originally moving backwards moved forward again. Thinking about the remaining few minutes, Hogg raised his paw, pressed Xilegao's shoulder, and gave his final instructions:
"Not too much, not too little either. The night will eventually pass, and a bright future will surely shine. Only by staying alive can we continue to output. I just hope you won't blame me. Do you know what you are going to do?"
"I have no idea!"
"Yes, that's right. Dad has been playing a big game of chess for more than 10,000 years. I can't let it fail. In fact, I betrayed you in the first second. I am not your father!"
Xilegao's mind was dizzy, but he still retorted:
"No, father, you didn't betray me. I seem to know something. You just betrayed yourself."
At this point, Xilego couldn't help but burst into tears. He really guessed what it was, but he didn't want to face it. He was just a clown standing on the stage to make people laugh.
Without slapping him, Hogg looked at the person in front of him with great satisfaction. At the last moment when the webway was opened, he used his claws to pull up the corners of Xilego's sad mouth and put on a smile:
"Remember, there is no savior. You can only rely on yourself for everything. You should find a son of your own."
The gate of the webway was completely opened, and Hogg returned to his original appearance, as if nothing had changed, but Xilego knew that the father he had been looking for for tens of millions of years was gone, and now, he had to find his own son.
"Thank you, father!"
