I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 236 Loyalty, Persuasion and Reform

"I want to follow you!"

After knowing that Zhang Hong was the person the Emperor was looking for, the Angel of Vengeance immediately expressed his willingness to follow him.

Zhang Hong waved his hand on the spot: "No, no. You should just follow Clark."

I don't want to be a burden.

Although it is quite pleasing to the eye.

Celia said stubbornly: "No. I must stay by your side. This is the mission given to me by the Emperor! Please agree to it no matter what!"

Zhang Hong scratched his head in slight distress.

"Okay, then I'll talk to your boss directly."

Zhang Hong raised his hand again, and golden light burst out from his fingertips and pointed at the other person's eyebrows.

Celia's expression froze, and she suddenly fell into a daze.

With many years of experience in managing the will of all living beings, Zhang Hong quickly found the connection of faith between Celia and the Emperor in her soul.

Then I made a call following this link of faith.

After a long while, a slightly puzzled response came back from the other end of the faith link.

【Who are you? 】

【it's me. 】

Sensing Zhang Hong's soul breath, the other party suddenly understood.

[It's you... Have you left yet? What do you want to talk to me about? ]

[Well, it’s like this…]

Zhang Hong briefly talked about his plans in the Hades galaxy and also mentioned the issue of angels.

[Okay, I understand. I'll take care of it.]

After saying that, the person on the other end hung up the "phone" and seemed very busy.

After the ultra-long-distance call ended, Celia woke up and was stunned to find that there was a lot more information in her mind.

After digesting this information.

"My lord, please allow me to follow you. Your Majesty has instructed me to serve as your liaison."

Zhang Hong thought about it and seemed that he really needed a means to contact the emperor himself at any time.

This emperor is really so lame that he has to rely on fanatics to show his power. Can't we just communicate with him directly?

He sighed and said, "Okay. Then you follow me first."

"I'm telling you in advance that you are not allowed to act on your own and you must listen to me!"

"As you wish, my lord."

The angel of revenge stood beside Zhang Hong, humble and respectful, remaining alert in silence.

He immediately put himself in the role of guard and attendant.

Zhang Hong shook his head, feeling like he had become an extra burden.

Send a message to the guard officer who is holding the Space Marines.

Ziwei Star, temporary detention area.

The guard officer placed his index finger on his temple, carefully and repeatedly confirmed the information he received, and then said to everyone in the cage: "The Lord of Samsara wants to see you, don't do anything stupid later, or I can't save you if you trouble the Lord of Samsara."

After saying that, he took off his waist badge and injected mana into it. The waist badge emitted a golden light, and dozens of golden runes flew out and drilled into the chains of the cage.

The golden chain untied and quickly retracted into the ground, disappearing.

Swish!

A flash of white light appeared, and two people appeared out of thin air before the Space Marines.

A mighty man in a white robe and a silver-haired beauty with white wings on her back.

Everyone knew the silver-haired beauty; she was Celia, the angel of revenge on Persephone.

However, the Space Marines' attention was inevitably drawn to the man in white robes. He exuded a powerful and terrifying aura that made them nervous.

Chapter leader Nerva and others widened their eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's you--!"

The man in white robe in front of him was the mysterious man who had fallen in Makaria before, and the "holy relic" that the Ash Claws had lost.

Zhang Hong nodded to the regiment commander, Julius and the others, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your care before."

Realizing that the other party was unusual, Chapter Master Nerva stared at Zhang Hong with vigilance and even hostility.

He asked, "Who the hell are you?"

Zhang Hong smiled.

"Don't be nervous, I have no ill will towards you."

The tone was gentle, but the next sentence made the Space Marines uncomfortable.

"If I had bad intentions, killing you would be no more difficult than crushing an ant."

what? !

How dare you speak like that to a great Astartes warrior?

The soldiers were immediately filled with anger.

However, Zhang Hong just raised one finger, and the fingertip glowed slightly.

The soldiers were in a trance for a moment, and the anger in their hearts suddenly dissipated, and they suddenly felt very ashamed and guilty.

How could I be so disrespectful to the Lord of Reincarnation?

The other party is so kind, great, and noble... Many people have the urge to commit suicide to apologize and swear to follow the other party to death.

But as Zhang Hong put his hand down, the soldiers' minds returned to normal.

Realizing that they had just been disturbed or even controlled by the other party, the Space Marines suddenly felt a huge chill.

Zhang Hong said, "You see, I can not only control your bodies, but also your thoughts."

"So you don't have to worry about what I do to you. Because no matter what I want to do, I don't need your consent."

"Humph."

Chapter Master Nerva said coldly: "Then you don't have to show up. Just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"Good. I like talking to smart people."

Zhang Hong paused and said, "I actually hope you can answer a question for me in person."

"Are you still willing to believe in the Emperor?"

The Space Marines were all stunned, as if they had not expected Zhang Hong to ask such a question. They all turned to look at Chapter Master Nerva.

"…The Emperor is dead."

After a long period of suppressed silence, Nerva spoke slowly.

"What if the Emperor is not dead? Are you still willing to follow him on the Great Crusade?"

"We...I...I don't know..."

This veteran soldier who has a strong will and never loses his temper, now has a rare look of confusion on his face.

Somewhat at a loss.

Why is he asking us these questions?

Is it true that the Emperor is still alive?

But has not the Imperium already abandoned the truth, the teachings of the Emperor?

The Ash Claws, along with the Space Marines of the Carcharodon Regiment who were mixed in with them, could not help but fall into deep thought and torture their own hearts.

"Hey, the guy called Lord of Reincarnation."

Suddenly, a rough voice sounded among the crowd.

A bald man stepped out from the crowd, came to Zhang Hong, and said firmly: "I don't care what others think. I am Baal Shar, and I have always been a loyal follower of the Emperor. As long as it is the Emperor's order, I will go through fire and water without even a frown."

"But who do you think you are? Why do you act like you are interrogating us on behalf of the Emperor?"

Faced with Bal's almost offensive questioning, Zhang Hong did not get angry.

Instead, he calmly looked at the others: "What are your answers?"

The Chapter Master of the Ash Claws took a deep breath, raised his head and chest, and said seriously: "If it is the will of the Emperor himself... my answer is, if there is a war, I will respond to the call and win the war!"

As the regiment commander made his statement, the other soldiers also cleared up their confusion, raised their heads, and looked at Zhang Hong with firm eyes.

Their unified expression gave the answer.

"Very well, then I will give you one more chance to serve the Emperor."

Zhang Hong nodded with satisfaction and raised his right hand.

He pointed his finger at everyone, and suddenly thousands of golden chains emerged from the ground and pierced into everyone's bodies.

Gently pull it outward.

When the Space Marines came to their senses, the chains had disappeared. There was another "me" next to them.
