Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 417 Stealing Faith

Ten minutes later, Freya brought Howard to a square of the Tau tribe.

At this time, the square was filled with residents of this planet, regardless of gender, age, or race. Most of the residents around the square gathered here. Even most of the people Howard had seen in the park before came here later.

They raised their heads at the same time and looked diagonally upwards, where there were several huge screens.

The screen was broadcasting the scene in the planet's airport. At this time, a blue-skinned Titanium alien wearing a titanium-white space suit with a strong sense of technology was giving a speech.

"...Six hundred and forty-five years ago, under the guidance of Tau'av, we arrived on this planet. We multiplied here, giving rise to new life and conflict. We endured long periods of strife and death, and made great sacrifices. But now, we can finally proudly announce that we have completed the complete colonization and transformation of this planet. All life on this planet has once again united under Tau'av, a powerful testament to the Tau'av's status as the most progressive ideology in the universe!"

At the Tau's speech on the screen, the residents in the square burst into thunderous cheers, but Howard noticed that the speaker specifically mentioned the guidance of "Tau'av" in the speech, not the guidance of "She-Ra" that he had seen in the fountain before.

Then there are two possibilities. One is that these Tau people knew that "She-Ra" was not "Tau'av", but in order to maintain the uniqueness of the "Tau'av" belief, these Tau people used the Spring and Autumn style of writing to graft the example of "She-Ra" onto "Tau'av".

Another possibility is that these Tau believe that the so-called "She-Ra" is actually a manifestation of Tau'av.

This is very interesting, because Howard knows that this so-called "She-Ra" is actually Freya.

Tau'av is a theory upheld and promoted by the Tau people. This theory has a more down-to-earth and easier-to-understand translation: The Greater Good.

The Greater Good emphasizes collectivism, tolerance and cooperation, and even believes that all intelligent life in the universe should unite to pursue a better future.

This doesn't fit Chaos at all.

The souls of the Tau are feeble, their faith insignificant.

However, the Tau are not the only ones who believe in the Greater Good. During the development of the Tau, they have accepted many humans and other intelligent aliens. The soul power of these intelligent beings is far stronger than that of the Tau, and these beings accepted by the Tau also believe in the Greater Good.

And these beliefs that exist are valuable.

According to the timeline before Howard traveled through time, these beings who believed in the Greater Good had even cast a vague shadow in the subspace.

This shadow is the Titanium's racial deity, the goddess Titanium.

Although the Goddess of Tau is currently only a relatively weak newborn subspace creature, its power is growing with the development and expansion of the Tau Empire.

Suddenly Howard felt a little uneasy.

Because he knew that the demon beside him was "She-Ra", and if combined with the second guess just now, then the Tau people on this planet openly believed in "Tau'av", but in fact they believed in Freya.

Howard certainly wouldn't think that this demon was the Titanium Goddess, the racial goddess of the Titanium people. That would be too outrageous. He just thought of a more terrifying and despicable possibility.

Freya had just told him that there had been missionaries corrupted by Chaos who continued to teach modified doctrines to the people, and eventually the believers in the parish thought they were praying to the God-Emperor, but without their knowledge, they had become believers of Chaos.

So, assuming the greatest malice, Freya saved and sheltered the Titanium people on such a planet. Is it possible that what she wanted was this distorted belief?

When the Tau people on this planet begin to expand, they will bring this distorted belief to more places, and even back to the Tau home planet.

Freya can carry out various operations in secret to allow this distorted belief to gradually replace the original belief of the Titanium people.

After all, when it comes to conspiracies and intrigues, Chaos is the best and no one dares to be second. As a new creature in the warp, the Goddess Tauwa may not be able to directly confront a powerful demon like Freya.

This way she could steal the power of the newly born Tau Goddess and completely corrupt the entire Tau race.

Just as Howard was brainstorming, the surrounding Titanium residents burst into cheers.

Howard's thoughts returned to reality. He looked at the big screen. What was being broadcasted on the big screen was no longer the Titanium spokesperson from before, but the airport near the orbit of the planet. There was a spaceship docked in the airport dock in the picture.

At this moment, the voice of the Titanium who had just given the speech sounded again in the background:

"Long before the various factions on Galan Star were completely unified, scientists and technicians from various factions began to communicate. Even though their ideas were not unified, these respectable people still overcame countless difficulties. They built a production line from scratch, starting with the most basic mining and parts processing. They optimized and researched step by step, repairing the Imo bit by bit. Now, ten years after the unification of Galan Star, the Imo, the spacecraft that brought our ancestors to this planet, has finally restored all its functions. Soon our explorers will embark on a new journey, searching for new colonies and attempting to contact our home planet. The day of return is at hand."

Amid the cheering crowd, Howard gradually broke out in a cold sweat. Everything seemed to be developing towards his most vicious expectations.

At this moment, in his eyes, the spaceship named Imo on the screen was not an explorer's spaceship at all, but a virus bomb full of twisted believers.

In a trance, he seemed to see the ending of a movie he had seen in the past about humans and apes. One by one, red lines representing the virus transmission path landed on the new planet. After being completely infected, more red lines were ejected outward, and more places would be infected.

"What are you nervous about?" Freya noticed the uneasiness of the human next to her and asked.

"Maybe... maybe we shouldn't let them leave here," Howard said.

He was frantically looking for a solution or an excuse, no matter how ridiculous or lame it was.

Howard didn't want to watch the Greater Good being ruined as it was one of the rare things that hadn't been seriously polluted by the cesspool that was Warhammer.

However, the answer from the demon beside him was beyond his expectations.

Freya: "So, you think so too?"

Howard: “?”

At this time, the large screen of the broadcast began to tremble slightly. Howard saw that the tail of the Imo gradually lit up and then spewed out flames, and then it sailed away from the airport.

But amid the cheers of the surrounding Tau people and Howard's uneasiness, Freya's eyes also brightened at the same time.

The next second, the cheers of the Titanium residents in the square stopped abruptly, and after another second, they turned into screams and cries.

Because on the big screen of the broadcast, the Imo, which had just set off not long ago, turned into a fireball, and the fragments produced by the explosion of the spacecraft even caused serious damage to the airport. The signal of the broadcast picture suddenly became very bad and was eventually completely cut off.

But even without the broadcast, all life on the planet knew what was happening. As long as they looked up at the sky, they could see the sparks produced by the explosion outside the atmosphere and the meteor-like debris falling continuously.

Howard was also extremely shocked. Although there was no chance for the distorted beliefs on this planet to spread, he could not understand Freya's purpose in doing this.

Standing in the chaotic crowd, Howard looked up at the debris falling from the sky and asked Freya:

"Since you claim to be the protector of this planet, what's going on now?"

"This universe is cruel." Freya stood side by side with Howard. She calmly admired the falling debris in the sky and the chaotic and desperate people around her. "They are not yet ready to deal with this cruel universe."

Howard: "So how do you think they're going to be ready?"

Freya smiled sweetly:

"When I can no longer hold them back, it means they are ready."
