Chapter 212 Split
The Sister of Silence raised her weapon, intending to give the human a ride.
Howard, lying on the ground, stared at the nun's every move with his only remaining eye.
Even though he was tortured by severe pain, even though he was lying on the ground groaning and wailing, his mind was still clear.
Although his brain was damaged, the damaged part was mainly responsible for language and balance, and the part of Howard's brain used for thinking was not damaged.
Howard felt that his mind had split into two little people, and the two little people were imprisoned in the same cage. One of the little people suffered the same injuries as Howard, so the little person began to scream and roll on the ground because of the injuries like any ordinary person. This little person also controlled Howard's body and made Howard do the same actions as him.
The other little man stood in the corner of the cage, looking indifferently at the little man who was rolling and struggling in the exercise, feeling a little bored.
The human body has a protective mechanism. Normally, a person's body would go into hibernation directly after suffering this level of damage, thus avoiding further damage caused by moving around due to pain. However, when Slaanesh tortured him, in order to prevent him from passing out and reducing the pleasure, he had gradually raised the threshold of his body's hibernation. Therefore, this level of damage was not enough to make him lose consciousness.
Get started now.
The indifferent little figure in the cage yawned and urged Sister Silence.
If you don't take action now, the wound will probably heal.
The gift from the Goddess of Life was trying to repair his body. Howard could feel his wounds wriggling, the cells beneath the scorched flesh rapidly dividing, and new blood vessels resupplying blood to the damaged parts to speed up repairs. In fact, if Howard was left alone, this fatal injury to an ordinary person would not only not take his life, but would also recover within an hour.
But Sister Silent didn't know this. She just used common sense to figure out that this human was going to die, and it would be difficult to save him under the current conditions.
In fact, if Howard had raised the gun at the angle he initially held, the laser beam would have directly evaporated almost his entire brain... However, judging from the fact that his blood was able to save the Deep Plague zombies, even if his head was completely gone, the power of the Goddess of Life could probably bring him back... But Howard has no soul, and the storage of knowledge and memory relies on existing neurons. If his brain is really gone and then saved, will the new brain be the same as the original one?
This was an unnecessary risk, so Freya adjusted the angle of the gun for him so that the damage he received would just meet the requirement.
His request was very simple, which was to use his own life to force those spirits out.
Before, Howard was not 100% sure that the Eldar had noticed him. His only basis was that Om Messiah had once assured him that it could buff the weapons of soldiers from other empires, but later when he asked Om Messiah to do so, Om Messiah did not respond.
Howard had no choice at the time. To save the remaining humans, he had no choice but to do this: use his own life to force one side out. If his judgment was correct, he could force the Eldar out; if his judgment was wrong, he could at least force Chaos out.
However, after Freya appeared, Howard was basically certain that the group of bean sprouts were huddled in that corner and watching this place, especially watching himself.
The Eldar probably intended to use these orcs to kill most of the remaining humans and then abduct themselves, leaving no witnesses and keeping everything a secret. But Howard wouldn't allow this. Through self-mutilation, he was telling the Eldar watching from behind: "I know you're here, and I know your plans. Now, rescue me, or I'll reveal this clue to the Goddess of Life."
After sorting out his thoughts, Howard could face the sharp blade of the Sister of Silence calmly, because he knew very well that at the last moment, there would always be someone to stop the Sister of Silence from doing so.
Sure enough, just as the spike of Sister Silence's weapon was about to pierce Howard's neck, someone stopped her.
Ah oh!
The bored little man in the cage cried out.
Because the one who stopped the Sister of Silence was not the Eldar he expected, but Gloria. She held out a tattered weapon of unknown origin, which was probably stolen from the orcs, and blocked the opponent's blade before the Sister of Silence chopped off Howard's head.
"You...what did you do?!"
Gloria glanced at the Silent Sisters, and then at Howard who was lying on the ground seriously injured. She could never imagine that it was Howard who did it himself, but at the same time, she could understand the logic of these Silent Sisters who she regarded as freaks. No matter what, these Silent Sisters would not take the initiative to attack a mortal. If they really did, the mortal would not be able to survive.
So Gloria immediately made a judgment: Howard's injury was not caused by the Sister of Silence, but when she handed Howard to the Sister of Silence, she said it was just "borrowed", so no matter what, the accusation that the Sister of Silence was not taking good care of him was confirmed in her mind.
Gloria slashed the Sister of Silence away with a sword. The Sister of Silence had no intention of stopping her or explaining the matter. When Gloria forced her back, the Sister of Silence immediately turned her gun around and went back to dealing with the orcs.
Gloria was furious at Sister Silent's cold and indifferent attitude, but the situation was urgent and Gloria didn't want to have too much communication with these freaks and stinky stones, so she glared at Sister Silent fiercely, then picked up Howard, who looked dying, from the ground.
She is a psyker, and using her psykers, she might be able to heal this mortal's injuries, but that would require her to leave the main force and go outside the Sister of Silence's anti-psy aura.
As for why she took such a big risk to save this mortal, Gloria couldn't explain it, but she had an inexplicable feeling that this mortal would be very useful in the future, so she had to save him.
While Gloria was looking for a way to save herself, Howard was also thinking of a solution. If Gloria really took him away, he would probably not die, so he had to do something.
Thinking of this, Howard looked at Gloria's chest... The wound on her chest, a rusty sharp spike pierced Gloria's chest armor, and a part of the spike was exposed outside.
It would be very painful if I pulled this thorn out directly...
Sorry.
The bored little man in his mind said this, an apology to Gloria and also to the other little man who was seriously injured and dying.
Then, while Gloria wasn't paying attention, the bored little man suddenly pulled out the bloody spike and stabbed it into the chest of another little man.
To ensure success, this time Howard not only stabbed his heart with the spike, but also stirred it vigorously to ensure that his heart was completely destroyed.
Howard's heart stopped beating, and his hands fell weakly from Gloria's arms. He ignored Gloria's surprised look and stared at the dirty sky, his vision quickly dimming.
Be it Chaos or the Eldar, please come out quickly, I’m really going to die this time.
